'•'• J. - - • MEE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVNPING, OCTOBER 19, 186:5: is but fair to think that it waa only the sneer of ' the eighteenth century at the inootnprehansdble doctrine, of the nineteenth. For few, indeed, whom that age bred up hays been feunsl capable of understanding that recognition of inhe rent rights, that sympathy with moral trials, that earnest longing to help the soul yet more than the body, which marks the thoughts and efforts of our own generation. We cannot perhaps better appreciate the pecu liar faults end merits of Lord PALMERSTON'S character than by contrasting him with two yet greater men whom death within a year has struck down. RICHARD Conan, penetrated and mastered by the idea of a great truth, gave his life to make it triumph over every opposition. ABRAHAM Lamour, not less strongly feeling the weight of principle, yet shrank from putting it in action till circumstances forced him to act. But Lord PakvasevoN, who filled a larger space in the world's field of view than either, leaves lees by which he will be known than either. For there never was a principle to which he devoted him self. There were many that he supported, but it never was because in his eyes they were right, but because they were convenient expressions of an irresistible public opinion. So, though he aided in the triumph of many, there are none with I which his name will be associated. They will i always by posterity be attributed to the men in humble place who made them matter of faith and ' sacrifice. Never has statesman served his country so long, and left such an absolute dearth of measures by which his name will be re membered. And yet withal, the service was well done. A mind perfectly balanced, • happy disposition, an eminently conciliatory temper, a faculty of divining the prevailing sentiment and of placing himself in instant accord with it, enabled Lord Paurtnerou to do work which no other statesman could have accomplished. He was the impersonation of that rarest of gifts, because demanding the regulated apportionment of many rare gifts, the gift of tact. No man made fewer blunders, no man more readily and gracefully extricated himself from a false position. Nor certainly has any man living achieved a wider popularity. There most have been a thousand good qualities to make such popularity possible, and to make it retained in spite of such strenuous hatred as be at the same time excited in more earnest minds. And now that he is gone let us think rather of those happier features of his character when we think of him, even while we resolve all the more firmly to shun his defeats in determining the policy which his successors must pursue. his &ethics had the honour and interest of his country at hart. In avatars with other itniroals, Iha Mar abearves thgrit is not now idse time *intimate fully aid fairly the patted results of Lori Pelunsesicro's career, but it may banal that his policy naturally never took a high Joni; it sem redid on pest principles ;it sever looked far ahead. It occupied itself with to-day, and with to-day's temper. The British parliament will sot look like itself without him. It will seem to have lost something essentially charsoteristio. I something symbolical end peculiarly distiactive, in losing Lord Palmerston. Political friends and polities' foes must I of worse differ in their appreciation of the extent to which the country has lost by his death ; bet is the ifonts of Oorantoas all met assuredly miss him alike. Be we to-day, says the Telegraph, tory or whig, radical or conservative, high churchmen or low churchmen, purists or men of the world, Henry John Templerou earned this much of his oonntrymen —" the respect of deep regrets, the homage of solid gratitudea." His qualities, though not the very highest, were such as Englishmen appre cats. This is not the place or time to define the extol colours of his creed, nor to explain why, after making all the despotio cabinets bate him, and after upholding liberal govera mesa by the sheer charm of his name, there came a time at last when half the party which he led muttered impatient reproaches, while his political opponents were tender to wards him, though he kept them from power. But this is the plans to say that such has been the wonderful career of Lord Pelmerstoo, such his superbly English qualities, such the popular and public appreciation of them, so great the dignity of his name, so deep, so grateful the regard felt to such a servant, that the two imperial sections have posi tively waited, weapons in hand, to let him per from public life is quiet and hoaour. beyond the limits of his duties as s inagblaste to ludo's* in • aeries of comments that were virtually 10 OM] TAW foe asoployen as eialeat employed, missidaral4ll his pad- Ws end abused ids authority.

The Advertiser bee • elaseateriatio paragraph. At the close of oar of its teals( &Aisle it eye :—" We will only add—sod we make our closing remark with greeter pleasure then we eau expree—thit we are enabled to state, on the authority of one who atteoded Lord Palmerstoo's bedside during the last few days of his lunar, ' that his sod was peace,' and that it was the Ann belief • of tbe fried to whom we allude, that this pesos was the result of his laboring wherein to trust.'" MEMORANDA. The Queen telegraphed repeatedly to Brackett Hall for intelligence of the Premier's state, and to ex. press her strong solicitude for him. Brackett Hall was the seat of Lord Palmereton's Mend, brother-in-law, and chief —tbe late Lord Melbourne, and where that noblemen himself died. Lord Palmerston had sat in sixteen parliaments, and been elected to sit in the seventeenth. He served in *Haig positions four mosarchs—George UL, George IV., Wil* liam IV., and Queen Victoria. At the time of bin decrees Lord Palmerston was the oldest member, or " Father," of the House of Commone, having held a seat in St. Stephen's since 1907, with the hp terruption of only three months in the winter of 1834-5. As • rule, he mioyed superb bodily health, and one of the reasons wee, that, be it late or early when he escaped from stets affairs, he always insisted upon giving himself seven hours and a half of good sleep. If he maid not get away home till 4 sae., be bade his servants lure him un disturbed till noon. It must have been in Dugald Stewart's clam-mom that a phrase which he often turned to good account in his speeches, and on me memorable occasion with most bril liant effect, first caught his fancy and left upon it an indeli ble impression—" The fortuitous concourse d atoms." He was much gratified at the time by something which reached him from Cobdee's death. The great freetrader was talking with his physioisa a little while before he died, and said in • low sad paths tans " Ah, Pahnersto• was • very gesentur 'rimy I" Them words oinks to the Premier's ears, and psi him deep pleasure. During abougthe year 1820 Lord Pabosestou wee best known as the " Man of Fashion." in great repute at Almack's, sod famous in the waits. At this particular period, Lady Cowper, deathbed at a later period to Means Lady Palmerston, wee one of the leaders of fashion in that peculiarly exclusive temple of fame. Almost all his political coatemporaries who took a lead ing position, whether is the whig or in the tory ranks, were Cambridge men. If Byron, Coleridge, and Wordsworth are to be classed among our greatest poses, it would appear that in other departments than that of politic Cambridge lad, at the beginning of the prevent century, • pit eminence over the sister University of Oxford. In hie first 20 years of office be probably did not rise address the Roues of Commons on any subject beyond his own department more than a doses times ; and, curiously *sough, on those rare condone, it was not to questions o foreign policy, in which ass War Mioiater it might be sup pored that he would be chiefly interested, that his attention was turned. It is a curious fact that to the end of his days Lord Pal. merston was not a graceful public speaker. He wanted that fluency of speech which is often but the mask of weak mind, but without which no man eau be an orator. Ti the last there was a hesitancy about his address ; a fasti dious search after the felicitously exact word, which repaid the &ailment when it came, but which was often painful is the search, and was accompanied with an odd gesticulation as if the minister was jerking the phrase cut of himself. Besides the toil of debate end incessant watching ' Hoses of Commons, his office work was enormous. HY da spatches, all written in that fine bold hand which he desired to engraft epos the Foreign office, are innumerable. minutes upon every ocnosivable subject of interest in ti last 50 yawl would fill many volumes, and it is to be hoped that some of them will be published. Moreover, in private, be was always ready to write for the information of by friends, and he always wrote well. It is said by a writer ; the Tines that generally he wrote 'landing.

POLITICAL MOVEMENTS.-{THIS DAY.) Sir George Grey, the minister in attendance on her Majesty at Belmont, wee telegraphed to immediately on the news of Lord Palmerston's death being officially known to the government, which was between 'and s s yesterday afternoon. Lord Clarend on is slaying Grove, Watford ; Berl Russell, at Pembroke Lodge, Richmond ; and Berl Granville, who is on his marriage tour, was last communicated with at Moucby, in the department of Oise (Frasice). Sir George Grey's messenger bad only left the Home Office for Balmoral a short time before the news wee officially known. It is thought that her Majesty will probably return to town forthwith, la order to be in communication with her ministers. The dotal. of the death of the Premier given by the morning papers united so wide-spread an interest that after 11 o'clock scarcely a paper could be had. Many of the newspaper offices in the City were cleared oat by 10 o'clock, and the various reading rooms were thronged. Yesterday wising the miseond edition of the Express in which the event was announced wee dia. poised of as Quickly as eopise could be supplied. Many of the ships in the docks this morning lowered their flags, and similar marks of regret were displayed I. the dockyards. LORD PALMERSTON'S DEATH.-MEETING OP THE COURT OP COMMON COUNCIL.-(THIS DAL) A toasting of the Common Council of the City of London was held this morning, and as it was anticipated that something would be said in rtfereocs to the loss the nation bee sustained by the death of Lord Palmerston, there was a full attendance of members of the court. After the usual formal basking had been goes through, Mr. MATHILID, the thief cionssissioner, roes, amid pro found Silence, and said that the court was no doubt aware of the melancholy fact of the death of her Majesty's Prime Minkiter, Viscount Pelmerstoo, sod after the long statement that appeared in the morning papers, it was en necessary for him to miter at any length, into the particulars of the public services that had been rendered by the noble viscount. This much he might say, that this corporation regretted—most sincerely regretted—the loss they sod the nation generally had sustained and he was min that every one would agree with him that, whether in a subordinate capacity or as the heed of the government, Lord Palmerston bad ever conducted himself in a manner that reflected the highest honour upon himself, and was moat satisfac tory to the nation at large. (Haar, hem.) II would be idle for him to endeavour to exalt the ithanster of so peat a man by any observations he might make, and he should, therefore, content himself with merely proposing a resole. tion of regret at the loss the nation had multaioed, and ex press their condolence to Lady Palmerston at her bereave ment. The hoe. member thee moved the following resolution : "That this court bee heard with the deepest feelings of sorrow and regret the mow nful intelligence of the death of the Right Hon. Viscount Palmerston, her Majesty 'a Prime Minister. They regard the event is • lees to the asides, and to the community at large, and desired at the same time to express their high admiration of the manly bearing with the great administrative capacity of the noble viscount, and at the same time to express to Lady Palmer ston their deep feeling of condolence at the loss she bad sustained." Alderman &comma, M.P., said it was a matialaction lobe peanut on Mat eticasion, and to have so opportunity of sersoodiog the ruolatiou that had jut been proposed. Ere was glad that the Court of Common Council of the City of London was the first public body that had had as opportunity of expressing its feelings opon the loss that had been sustained by this nation by the death of Lord Palmer etas. (Hoar, hear.) Everyone in the metropolis who had bawd on the previous day of the serious ilium of Lord Palm• into, meet have expoirieued a tulips of sadness. Lard Palmerston had for many years been the MMus weight of political party, sod everyone, must admit the great talents he had displayed upon many questions, and the manner in which he had ever upheld the honour of his country. (Hear, hear.) The resolution was then usanimously carried, and the necessary arrangement' ware mule for its pmeentatioa to Lady Palmerston.

If ills cable earl socepta the Pre• atierettlp, it la probable that the Earl of Clarendon will be entrusted with the dates of the Foreign-061os. In the tees of Lord Rumen eisetisg to reeds the Foreign-ogee, therremiership might be entrusted to Lard Granville or Lord Clarendon. But the Post thinks that, in all probability, Lord Russell will swept the important post now vacant. In any case, Mr. Gladstone succeeds to the leadership of the Home of Commove.

The Pc/seraph taw many advantages is the suoremion of Lord Russell to the post of Premier and Lord Clarendon to the Foreign-office. Not the least is, that it would obviate the necessity of making any sweeping changes in the composition of the cabinet, and of calling parliameot together at a peculiarly lecesiveniest scene. A govern ment which was headed by Lord Russell in the hereditary chamber, and by Mr. Gladstone is the lower tones, would be eminently satisfactory to the whole liberal party. It is fortunate that the Secretary of State at present in at tendance at court should be a statesman of t he calibre of Sir George Grey, whose excellent judge t is beyond &MAL The Star reminds us that whets the Derby administra- tion went out of office in 1859, Earl Granville was sum moned by the Queen, but was prevented from form* a cabinet by the refusal of Lord Reseal to serve under him. This led to Lord Palmerston being sent for, and to the =Mequon; formation of the Paloserston•Russell govern mast. Judging, therefore, from precedent, it is scarcely likely that Lord Remelt will be now any more willing to serve under Led Granville then he was sin years ago, al though the moderate onions's& sad the cosoiliatory manners of the Lord President of the Conceit might in the judgment of many constitute a special recommendation. Lord Rus sell's prospects seem the most hopeful, and the country, without feeling mach enthusiasm, would doubtless assent to such a reorpoierstion of the cabinet as would plain his lord ship at lie head. A sire statesman, a veteran diplomatist, the most experienced of party leaders, the link of two periods of history, and of the old and the new habits of thought, was yesterday taken from among us. Europe will listen no more to the sound of a name which has so often caused it to startle, if not to tremble. The Parliament, which in the full tide of his undiminished power Lord Pacairmsroe , summoned to approve and continue his policy, will never see the Chief who guided so many of its predecessors. Its party conflicts, He clashing of 1 principles, will rage unappeased by the great master who has stilled so often the murmur of opposition and the anger of discontented supporters.

(THIS DIY.) LICIRIC L IND THE "TIME&" The moderate and dignified tone in which Mr. Adams, as well es Earl Russell, has discussed the difficult questions arising out of the Alabama claims greatly intensifies, the Daily News says, the gravity of the dispute. in the de seatohes whielt have been exelianged there is no margin left for abatement on the ammo( testier. The Daily Deice has Got the slightest appesbensios that war will Nile out of these claims, but it is not improbable that the decision which our government has taken will bring our relations with America to a dead lock. If we may judge of what is likely in America by what has actually happened under similar circumstances In Europe, we may expect that the American goverment will take up • passive attitude, and decline to entertain say of those counter claims which we have upon the United States until we are ready to refer these. The Canadians also will pro bably have to go without the advantages of the Reciprocity Treaty after next March. The Times cannot help ministers is these their real difficulties, but it may combarrase them, sad that is exactly, says the Daily Noes, the tendency of the article it published yesterday. The Telegraph censures the Times for its mode of dealing with the alleged extraordinary blunder of it.

What the public wants to know just now is, not whether the Tiatea thinks such as event probable, but whether, as it aeserted, an ultimatum has really been sent from Washiegtou, demanding the withdrawal of the French protectorate. The Times Is quite acute enough to see that such is the plain issue ; end the manner in which it carefully avoids grappling with the question must be taken as a confession that the less said about it the better.
