LORD GREY'S, speech on Tuesday evening recallathe description given of him by a very able and very friendly critic as one of "the wasted " forces of politics." In other words, he is prP.c tically not a force at all. The great name which he hits inherited, and the very considerable abilities which he possesses, have only made his incapacity the more conspicuous to turn to account oppor tunities of distinction and public service such as have fallen to the lot of few of his contemporaries. During the five years in which he held one of the great offices of State, under the administration of Lord JOHN Roseau., his colonial policy, though sound in itself, was animated by a temper which made it a serious embarrassment and constant dan ger to the Government ; and the great measure by which representative institutions were established in the principal British settlements lost half its grace and something of its usefulness by the unfortunate instrumentality employed. Lord GREY possesses great gifts, which have been marred by an incompleteness and a want of proportion, which have converted a man who has some of the qualities of a practical statesman, and some of the endowments which go to form the political thinker, into that worst form of the modern doetrinairc—the " thoughtful Liberal." Lord GittY, like most men of his intellectual mould, does not understand the great working forces of society, and, therefore, he fears them ; and devotes all his energies to fantastic schemes for checking and ba lancing powers, which, if wisely left alone, will find their own natural and stable equilibri The "thoughtful Liberal" abounds in small in genuities and clever contrivances for bringing matters to a deFul-lock, as a preventive of too rapid movement, which might have stirred the envy of the Ablui SIEYES himself, who is the real in tellectual ancestor of the tribe. Lord GREY'S habits of mind have become of late years almost entirely critical, and his shictures on public affairs have seldom any direct bearing on impending legislation. A measure which has been withdrawn is as good a text upon which to hang a dissertation as one which is still in exist ence ; and the fact that the Reform Bill of the Government was not, never had been, and never could be before the House of Lords, formed no reason to Lord GREY for libstaining from an elaborate attack upon it. We do not find in his remarks much which had not been said before in the other House of Parlia ment, and in the Tory and Adullamite newspapers. The "reckless haste" with which the Government have rushed into the question of Reform, after it has been under discussion fifteen years, and dealt with by four preceding administrations ; the im propriety of their bringing in an incomplete measure ; and the inexpediency of their deference to MT. BRI G HT, are topics upon which Lord GREY repeated the assertions of his friends without deigning to notice the opposing views of men of the highest authority and experience both in practical and speculative politics. We will do Lord GREY the justice to believe that if he had been in the House of Commons, and witnessed the demeanour of the adversaries of the Bill, ho would not have attributed the failure of the Government to sheer mismanagement. He would have seen that it was doomed from the first, in utter disregard of the character of its provisions. But this attack upon a defeated measure is hardly worthy of Lord Guy's reputation. It is some thing like FALSTATF'S conflict with the dead body of Honeys. ; and seems to have been inspired by a similar fear that there might be life in the corpse yet, and that it might rise again. Lord GREY excuses his recital of the proceedings of this Session on the subject of Reform on the ground that they are full of the moat import ant instruction. Two things, he says, are plain to him—one that a measure of Reform must speedilybe passed ; thootherthat it cannot be passed, unless it be acceptable to both the great parties in the State. Apparently Lord GREY consider{ the necessity for legislation, though real, to be factitious, having been created by the gra tuitous pledges of Governments and Parlia ments. Matters, he inclines to think, are very well as they are. "It is undoubtedly the fact " that the constitution of this country has, on " the whole, worked well for the happiness of the " people, and that it is, beyond all question, the " best in Europe." So men much more eminent than Earl GREY—Bnaxx towards the close of the last century, and Sir ROBERT PEEL a generation ago—said in reference to political arrangements, which Lord GREY denounces as full of grievances and abuses. Lord GREY is right now, SS BURKE and Pm were in their day ; but to be better than our neighbours is not be as good be, and is no argument againstfr Lord GREY appeals to the bent._ the past thirty-four years—which he attriL the Bill of 1992. But, a Tory of the school .of General PEEL might remind him, that it was an unreformed Parliament which passed the initial free trade measures of Mr. Hrsrassoer, which removed the disabilities of Roman Catholics wad of Dissenters, and , which sanetioned the liberal foreign policy of Mr. Caxwl-Ito. The Act of 1832, no doubt, helped the progress which had begun before it ; and so would, a, new Reform Bill, though not, we think, one, such as Lord GREY desires to see, which shall be acceptable to both the great parties in the State. Did Lord GREY ever hear of a good measure which was acceptable to both the great parties in the State t Did the Tories like Catholic Emancipation ? the re peal of the 'rest and Corporation Acts the first Reform Bill ? th e repeal of the? Corn Laws ? Deaf to justice, inaccessible • to reason, they have never yielded except to fear ; and we see no sign whatsoever that they are wiser now. No doubt, it is undesirable, if it can be avoided, that constitutional changes should be made the battle-field for party contests ; but, if they become so, the fault is with the party which obstinately resists all constitutional change. The Government have in the present instance pushed concession and compromise to an extreme, with the effect only of disheartening their own forces and strengthening those of the enemy in the battle which the Opposition insisted on giving. It is possible that, as Lord GREY contends, a period of excitement is the worst time for passing a mea sure of Reform : and that even the Act of 1832 might have been improved by calmer deliberation. But then, as now, while the public mind was tranquil, the Tories would do nothing. Is there not a chance that they may again postpone con cession until it has lost all its grace ? There was a French revolution in 1830 ; there may be a German Revolution in 1867. The agricultural labourers of Dorsetabire and of the south of Eng lard generally were starving then ; they are not too well fed, clothed, and housed now. There were machine-breaking riots then ; there is a far more formidable, though more legitimate, organi zation of labour now. With war and convul sion abroad, with one-fifth of the English people insufficiently fed, and with deep-seated din affection in Ireland, it is impossible to feel secure against a time of trouble and violence which will sweep away the fine-spun theories of "thoughtful Liberals." The projects which Lord GREY favours, for uniting a nominal extension of power to the great body of the people with rho continued ascendancy of the class whose ignorant and mischievous legislation it has been the glory of the past generation to have in part undone, in the face of obstinate resistance, will not, we fear, be likely to stand the trial as by fire to which they may have to be submitted. Schemes like his are the toys of dilettanti, not implements fur work. OUR CONTEMPORARIES. (THIS DAY.) TRH WAS. After briefly describing the position of tho Prussian and Austrian armies in Bohemia and Silesia, the Times says the military pride of Austria may well be soothed by the event. In four days two battles have been won, and the invading armies of her two adversaries driven from the field. The success of the Austrian arms may be exaggerated, but there is nothing in it improbable. The promptitude of the Prussians has gained for Berlin the supremacy of Northern Germany, but the inactii Lty of the Austrians, from whatever cause it has arisen, may at lost have given them a triumph over their too confident opponents. In the opinion of the Times it was a mistake to invade Bohemia, the spirit of the population being hostile to Prussia, the amain y offering numerous positions of defence strengthened by fortresses, while the line of railway through Moravia to Vienna would allow men and mate rials of war to be sent to any part of the frontier that may be threatened. Whatever the Prussian plan of cam paign may have been it seems to have been defeated. After a doubtful campaign the Prussians would have to retire from Bohemia, probably at all points, and leave the Austrian commander to mature hie own plans un molested. In Northern and Western Germany matters look more favourable for Prussia. The advantages gained by the Berlin government cannot he easily impaired. One of the strangest incidents of the war has been the effort of the Hanoverian army to escape. Prussia, had again offered the King an alliance, with a guarantee for his possession of the throne, on the basis of Federal reform. The King neglect his own interests if any family or dynastic pride prevents him from accepting this offer. Whatever may be the military events of the war, it can hardly be doubted that the old Confederation is at an end, and that Northern Germany, at least, must be united under the leadership of Prussia. All the tenden cies of the age are in favour of unity, and the monarchy of Berlin may justly look upon time as its ally. In law than a fortnight and without striking a blow the Prussian government has been able to change the face of North Germany. Is this success illusory or is it real? asks the Daily Newt. Only events can furnish the full and satisfactory answer to this question, which, as far as Germany is concerned, involves the whole issue of the war. Let Prussia keep what she has taken, from the Maine, by the frontier of Bavaria and Bohemia, as far as Silesia, and she can hardly ask more ; her statesmen cannot at present cherish the desire to include the catholic countries of Southern Germany in the great Prussian empire. Let Prussia, it is mid, take the north and let Austria have the south, and the compensation for Venetia will be as ample as the most loyal imperialist can desire. A suggestion of this kind, the Daily News considers, should never have been written by an English pen. Because Prussia has fixed quarrels upon her neighbours, first converting them into enemies, and then seizing their territory, is Austria to turn treacherously upon her friends, and reward them for their support by confiscating their states ? There are moreover other political obstacles which would render such a plan impossible. If Prussia can hold the ground she has taken up Austria will be virtually thrust out of Germany. This is thoroughly understood at Vienna., and it is what Austria is straining every nerve to prevent. The Tyrol and Italy could not locg be held after the con solidation of the new Prussian empire, which would dominate South Germany from the Maine to the Inn. For these reasons we hold it as certain that Austria will fight to the uttermost to recover as much as possible of her old authority. If she fails she will be ruined, and if she is rained it will be principally through her possession of the Quadrilateral THE LATH GOTERIONLINT AND THEIR SUCCESSORS. In reviewing the history of the late government the Times points, without any intention of drawing invidious comparisons, to two instances of conspicuous success in the conduct of great departments—the administration of the colonies by Mr. Cardwell, and the administration of Ireland by Lord Kimberley. The settlement of the Ashantee dispute—the termination of the New Zealand war, brought about by insisting on the payment from the Colonial Exchequer of 401. a year for each British soldier after a certain date, which awoke a new sense of respon sibility on the part of the New Zealand legislature ; the application of the same principle to Mauritius, Hong Kong, and Ceylon, • ith due allowance for their claims as crown colonies; the measures adopted for the defence of Canada and for the establishment of • confederation of the British North American provinces, which now pro mime to be carried into effect, and which Mr. Cardwell always supported vigorously ; above all, the conclusions which he arrived at in regard to the continuance of trans portation to Australia, the constitutional crisis in Victoria, and the Jamaica difficulty, entitle him to great credit. It is no slight evidence of success in the management of affairs so complicated, that no act of the Colonial Beam have retarded ration, and he will leave to his successor the comparatively easy task of following up his firm but conciliatory policy. Whether the new viceroy , whoever he may be, will prove equal to it, remains to be proved. Lord Limberley and Mr. Fortescne have knetiii bow to resist the demands of panic-stricken landlords as well to crush treasonable plots, and, while giving no quarter to Fenianism, have not shrunk from dealing with other Irish questions. Mr. Foettecue has, 1:11 over, diitin guished himself by a successful attempt to bridge over the wall gulf which has too long separated Ireland from Eng land, and which has made an Irishman in London as little et home as an Italian in Vienna. In another article the rinses discusses the subject of the Reciprocity Treaty with Canada, and praises Lord Clarendon for the ability and discretion which he displayed in conducting the nego tiations with the United States. It is certainly with good reason that her Majesty was reluctant to transfer to new hands at a perilous crisis the management of relations so successfully conducted. Lord Clarendon from his ex_ perienoe, his conciliatory disposition, and his reputation, unites in a singular degree the conditions desirable in a foreign secretary of the present day. Lord Clarendon's successor may learn from his example that it is perfectly possible to maintain not only the honour but the policy of England without incurring odium or provoking resent- went. Mr. Gladetone's special illustration of the new code of public honour which would consider any battle nobly won in which honour only had been lost and not the baggage waggons, is one which the Daily News would not willingly let die because the hero of it is the hero of the new ad ministration, who, it is rumoured, is not only destined to save the country from reform, but the Foreign-office from Lord Malrnesbury. Lord Stanley, the safe man, it is said, of the new cabinet, has reached the age at which the last Lord Stanley was casting the liberal illusions of his early manhood, and ripening into the reeotionist chief. Lord Stanley is heralded by the Adialkunite orgasm and by Mr. Lowe (who may be regarded as hit spirituel acilaius, though not perhaps his colleague) as the representative of a strong liberal element in the coming administration. There was a time when the pre sent Lord Derby represented a strong liberal element in a whig administration. No object can be gained in arguing from a theory of hereditary transmission to the probe bilLy of a succession of liberal or tory states men in the house of Stanley. The duty of the Daily News is simply to put honest liberals on their guard against the " strong liberal element " to be i n troduced into the new administration by Lord Stanley. Lord Stanley will have Lord Cranborne as his colleague, his foreign policy must be the policy of story govern. ment, and every nation in Europe knows too well what a tory foreign policy means when a re-settlement of Europe is in question. It means abroad what it means at home — distrust of the people tempered by fear--it means force as against right, and privilege as against justice. The Poe is of opinion that when the history of the Russell-Gladstone administration comes to be written it will be said of it klat the moat graceful act of its life was its death. Nothing could be in better temper and taste than the short speech in which Mr. Gladstone announced the final decision of the government. After admitting the great ability and e xperience of the members of the late government, the Past says it ca nnot but feel regret that a ministry so constituted should have coma to so untimely an end, and that regret is increased by the reflection that the occasion of it need not have existed at all, had Lord Russell and Mr. Gladstone but refrained from pressing upon colleagues who were certainly lukewarm, if not adverse towards the subject, their determination to attack the question of reform, or even if, having attacked it, they could have had the generosity and justice to treat the House of Commons with more franknem and consideration. Lord Derby having been sent for by her Majesty, there is no reasonable doubt that he will succeed in forming an administration. The new administration will have the advantage of coming into power at the fag-end• of the session, and consequently may be considered as safe until the meeting of parliament next year, when a trial of strength may fairly and properly be made. The Herald understands that Lord Derby has received her Majesty's commands to attend her at Windsor to-day ; that, if the sovereign requires it, ho will undertake the task of forming an administration ; and that he has re ceived promises of support or co-operation from many men who,however oonservativetheir opinions, have not hitherto been enrolled among the members of the conservative party. No man of sense can deny the competence of the conservatives to carry on the government of the country, or seriously contend that—the disputed merits of Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Disraeli apart—the liberals have any superiority either of statesmanship, eloquence, or admi nistrative ability. The constitutional liberals did not wish to turn out the Russell ministry ; but they preferred turn .ng out that ministry to passing a reform bill which would have transferred power from the landed interest and the commercial and manufacturing classes to the small traders and working men. But, having joined in turning out one ministry, it is their manifest duty to support its successor. The nearest approach to a Palmerston government now conceivable is a conservative government, so formed as to include the " new conservatives," who preserve the per sonal tradition and practical principles of Lord Palmer. ston, that is, the very government which is expected in a few days to be complete under the Premiership of Lord Derby. After enumerating the many important measures which bad been introduced by the late minister, and the coml• deration of which was delayed only in consequence of the unfair opposition offered to the Reform Bill, the Telegraph thinks that • Derby government means complications abroad, discontent in the colonies, and disaffection in the sister island ; while it would inevitably delay all those great social reforms at home which ought not to be, but are regarded with terror and aversion by the Derbyite following. In another article the Telegraph denies that Mr. Gladstone sacrifioed the Reform Bill on • question of detail. The final decision in the House of Commons might look like • mere piece of technicality, but In troth it struck the bill at a vital point. With regard to the final triumph of reform the Telegraph has no doubts. The unenfranchieed classes know that the Suffrage Bill has not been fairly overthrown, but assassinated in the dark. The judgment of the country is to the same effect ; and, though the ►nti-reformers have pined a temporary advantage, a Nemesis as surely awaits ' them as it &svelte all who sacrifice truth and fair play for the sake of immediate success. The Star has no doubt that the people of England desire reform, and their will must be embodied in law, whether •Russell or a Stanley incorporates their behests into statutes. The question is now narrowed down to a straggle for a supremacy between the people of England end the landed aristocracy of England. These two forces have come into collision before now, and the latter has invariably been defeated. It is true the positions which were so gallantly defended by our leaders have been taken—the liberal party has been com pelled to rearms the Mincio ; but a vigorous flank move ment by the soldiers of the people, so as to compel a re newal of the fight under more favourable auspices, will nnquationably lead to victory.

In accordance with this s uggestion, a meeting lof about 20 of Lord D erb y' s chief supporter' l.4ll. be held et his bowie in St. James's-square, at 11 o'clock this day, immediately after which he will proceed to Windier to lay before her Majesty the result of their conseltation. (From the Morning Herald.) In obedience to her Majesty's commands, the Rad of Derby will proceed to Windsor this morning. In the event at the duty of forming an administration devolving upon his lordship, the responsibility will be accepted. We are glad to be able to annoum that there will be few difficulties in the way of the formation of a strong ministry; and that Lord Derby has received asauranoea of general support from many gentlemen not hitherto numbered amongst his adherents. It is not unlikely that amongst the members of the new administration there will be found representatives of that more moderate section of the liberal partyarhich contributed so largely to the re jection of the Reform Bill. (From the Poet.) • These is some reason to expect that some gentlemen belonging to that section of tbe liberal party which was more especially remarkable for its support of Lord Pal merston may be induced to co-operate with Lord Derby at this crisis, and thus enable him to form government of considerable power. We hero! that the noble earl has already received many assaranoes of support, sad that Us immediate followers have ,expreseed their moss to waive all personal claims in order that his lordship may be enabled to form his government upon as wide a basis as possible. Any announcement as to names and offices is obviously tremature, but we believe that the mention of communications having taken place with Lord Lans downe is not wiliout foundation. • The name of Lord Shaftesbury has also been mentioned. (From the Telegraph.) With a view to secure as broad a basis se possible, atepe were taken to sound, not merely those professed members of the liberal party whose names have been paraded in most of the current reports, but one or two of Lord Rus sell's colleagues, whose acknowledged weight and ability in council would have lent undeniable strength to the new cabinet. As might have been expected, however, those members of the late government innantly and decisively declined the proferred alliance. It was understood, yes terday, that if the distinguished members of Lord Rus sell's cabinet had accepted, their adhesion would have been regarded by Mr. Lowe as affording a sufficient warrant for his taking office with the conservative premier. Among the malcontents on the liberal side, some have honourably abjured any active part in the proposed combinations. On the other hand, a few are avowedly awaiting the offers which are expected to follow Lord Derby's success II . . • V. •••• 1., N • i.. 9. ! l t eh, r 6.. • , 9\ JUNE INE od ~,, ..,; ito ~,., provok.. .gry de. . .

Tux LATE PRINCE DE CONDE. —The youthful Prince de Oonde, eldest son of the Duc d'Aumale, whom death we lately announced, is an irreparable loss to the Orleans family. He ores a young man of remarkable pro. mine, high-principled, warmhearted, gifted with uncommon powers of mind, thoughtful and asinous beyond his years, manly in his tastes, and fond, like his father, of the field sports of England. His education had been most carefully conducted, at trot under the super intendence of the Duo d'Aumale himself, then at the High School of Edinburgh, and, lastly, in a Swim military college. In the annum& of last year he left this country with the intention of making an extended tour through British India and our Australian colonies, and was enjoying his travels with all that power of observation and WM, for knowledge which disthiguislad bun when he wm seized with typhus fever at Sydney, which rapidly proved fatal. In him the House of Orionis has lost one of its fairest hss, and the interne grief of his family in shared in no small degree by many in this country who bad the honour of knowing him.—Tina.
