They pester you with all manner of questions, 'until you are quite surprised at the stupidity or ingenuity that could have suggested them. Their minds are bent upon discovering what they term " stable secrets," and they seem firmly impressed with the idea that the race has been squared for one horse. Hence it is that I am bothered by people inquiring " Well, what's to do it ?" because they fancy that if any one knows a good thing the Fresh Man must know it. Poor deluded young people. The Fresh Man knows nothing more than he has been enabled to gather by his industry and derive from his sources of information. Without, therefore, pro fessing to see far into a mile-stone, I will place before the reader the "Notes" which I have been enabled to collect anent the coining Derby. In Saturday's edition of The Sun was published the result of the vaticinatory labours of the Derby pro phets —save the. mark—and all persons must have been struck by the touching unanimity which pre vailed amongst the scribes of the sporting press. The favour which hasbeen extended to Promised Land has been extraordinary, and I give myself credit for no little temerity in now entering my solemn protest against the horse, and in expressing my belief that he will before the start be superseded by Trumpeter. What has the " Land" accomplished to make him so formidable ? What are his antecedents ? Last .year he beat North Lincoln, greatly to the surprise of his party, but he was afterwards easily defeated by the Baron's horse, who, by the way, has not this season proved himself to be the " flyer" which he was dubbed last year. True, Promised Land carried off the Two Thousand easily enough, but Cynricus, whom Trumpeter lost at Bath, was second to him. Now, if a comparison be drawn between the Land and Trumpeter, the favourite will be placed in a very disadvantageous position, for even his most through thick-and- thin sup porters must acknowledge that, in point of approved merit, he is greatly inferior to Mr. Hill's horse. Of Musjid I entertain very few expectations. His solitary success last year does not prove him to be half a good horse, and I believe it is only the prestige which attaches to Sir Joseph Hawley's name that keeps him in a respectable position in the betting. lam informed that on Friday morn ing he was tried with Leamington ; certes he was tried with something, but the betting would in dicate that the trial was not so very satisfactory. The Days will be dangerous enough. In addition to Trumpeter and Marionette, whose wires are broken, and who cannot be worked any more, the Danebury stable has Actaeon in the race. A pre judice exists against this horse, because his achieve ments have been chiefly over short courses, and because he has evinced a great turn of speed. It is argued, therefore, that he cannot stay. His powers of endurance have not yet been fairly tested, and from the manner in which his owner has backed him for a place, we may conclude that Mr. F. Robinson has very few doubts about the horse's being enabled to get home. Than Actmon we know no more dangerous outsider, and John Day may repeat his achievement of 1854, when Andover ran first and Hermit third, and obtained the first and third places with Trumpeter and Actmon. In the dubious slang of the ring, John Scott's lot light be put out with the washing. It seeing ragged in the extreme. From a glance which ad of Gamester, I derived no favourable impres sion. The horse seemed to me to be small and useful—for handicaps—nothing more. Phantom is a queerly-built animal, and I can't have him at any price, while Schuloff seems as if he had been fat tened for a cattle show. Mr. I'Ausons has a nice colt in his white-faced, switch-tailed Balnamoon. When the horse is in motion, however, one is apt to lose his esteem for him, for he is at best a dirty goer. Still Mr. I'Anson is very fond, and calculates with confidence upon " Bals" getting a place, and is not quite certain that he will not repeat the achieve. ment of his half-sister, Blink Bonny ! The one-eyed Glenbuck retains his position in i the market with much firmness, and they who have recently seen him at exercise declare that he is nearly a stone better than he was when he asto nished the natives by winning the City and Suburban Handicap. He appear's too small for a Derby horse, but ss e must not forget what little Adamas was very n ear ly accomp li s hi ng. Electric I do not understand, and I am afraid is likely to occasion his backers a shock the reverse of pleasant. He has done wonders with Tournament it is said, and so has Newcastle for the matter t that, but I place very slender faith in trials. It is reported that Fordham will ride Newcastle, and that he is not altogether displeased with his mount. After the horse's Handicap performance I cannot trust him, and if Fordham be upon Newcastle, he will stand a very poor chance of having name enrolled amongst the riders of Derby 'winners. Highwayman looks well, goes well, and will be ridden by J. Mann. His tria l . with Tunstall Maid entitles him to respect. 'is running at Bath and his wretched temper obtains for him contempt. Defender is quiet in the market, but sh mid he go sound and well to the post he will tread very closely on the heels of Trumpeter. Enfield is a roarer, and Gaspard a duffer. Promised Land and Musjid have no attractions for me, and I shall therefore place my trust in TRUMPETER, GLENBUCK, and ACT XON ; reserving HIGHWAYMAN for a cockboat. At this early period in the week, it would be useless to enter into an elaborate diseussion of the Oaks chances. Mayonaise is such a fine slashing mare, and possesses such undeniable speed, that she is entitled to the priority of consideration. Of the outsiders commend me to Wild Rose. The minor stakes at Epsom are lost under the cold shade of the two great coming events, and do not require notice from A FRESH MAN. EPSOM ON SUNDAY MORNING. Through the grey morning mist, which thickened more and more as we got into the open country-- past travel-stained tramps and cumbrous vans, and here and there a dog-cart or a gig, the occupants of which had evidently been making a night of it —through gates at which yawning pikemen appeared in their shirt-sleeves and sans boots—away we went on our annual excursion to Epsom. The old characteristics or the road were changed. Only one hostelry was open ; and, although the landlord of it declared that he had been up all night, yet the bar and counter presented very little signs of busi ness. A dirty pack of .cards and the fragments of tobacco pipes were the only signs of the night of it which the revellers had made. The blinds of all the houses in Epsom were down when we arrived there, and the town seemed asleep. Only an erratic duck, that had wandered across the street, showed signs of life. The " King's Head" was closed—at least the house portion, but stablemen were busy in the yard, and a laige fire in the kitchen showed that the working of roasting and boiling for the week had commenced. No inducement was, therefore, offered for loitering in the town, and soon after six o'clock we found ourselves on the Downs in the centre of gipsies, tramps, and touts. The landlord of the Rubbing House was, we were informed, blowing up like blazes, and this was the first piece of information which we received on reach ing the Downs. Afterwards we walked over the course, which glistened with its myriad gems of dew, and which was soft and elastic to the tread. Then we wended our way to the Six-mile Hill, and found ourselves in that peculiar predicament which is described as being up a tree. Neither to the right nor to the left, before us or behind us, could we make out any distinct object at a hundred paces. The mist had thickened, and strange and fantastic shapes loomed through it, and as we approached them they seemed more distant and distant still. We wheeled about and turned about like Jim Crow. We listened for the sound of hammers to guide us, but we heard nothing. except the mocking of the cuckoo. Alexander Selkirk, Robinson Crusoe, or the lady who was recently thrown on an uninha bited island, could not have felt more hopeless, deserted, and forlorn than we. At last a pile of buildings loomed through the driving mist, and we found ourselves, without knowinghow we got there, in front of Sherwood's House. We immediately took refuge within its hospitable doors, and, when we emerged from it, we saw the mist gradually rising from the valleys, and rolling away before a smart breeze. The sun, too, now began to peep forth, and at last out it came, lighting up the whole SIM LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MAY - - i9), 1859. landscape, aril making the skycl, o ,KB rise higher and higher ir nte air, and sen' wn a shower of song. When the !list rolled away, strings of horses were seen appnaehinglhe course, but they consisted mostly of hom( trained platers. Reeves's and Mel lish's lot were he first to come under our notice, but as we did not apect a Derby winner to come from them, we let tlem pass by unregarded. From our listless drowsr state, however, we were soon. aroused by red live Derby horses, and galloping together on tie Six-mile Hill. came Griffin, Ticket of-Leave, Gleliolus, and Napoleon. Ticket of- Leave looked•oarse and big, and his head and his tail seemed, of a tout described them to us, close ! together. Naroleon went well enough, and seemed lighter and 12tter than he was at Newmarket, but, to our thinkhg, Gladiolus could do anything with either of then. Amongst those that were out early, —before the mist had become very dense—were Sedbury (rilden by William Boyce) and Gaspard. The latter is a small flashy goer, and is not likely to cause his owner more grief than occurred to the man in the burlesque, who cried because a dog that was presented to him would cost him eighteenpence a week to keep. At EpSom, Gaspard., will not earn his hay and corn. I. Mann was putting Highwayman through his paces. The horse wore blinkers, and looked re markably well. He galloped with a free sweeping stride, and, except for the evident roguishness with which he twisted his head about, he would have deservedly attracted unqualified admiration. He was ridden in blinkers. His trial with Tunstall Maid, at 71b, ought to have made him run better at Bath, for very little mistake could have been made in that trial, seeing that' Mann rode the Highwayman, and Aldcroft The Maid. Should the horse take it into his head to run on Wednesday, he may be much nearer the finish than many people imagine. We were told, on pretty good authority, that Crafton would not start. The mysterious Enfield was with Armstrong's lot on the race course. Enfield is not likely to occasion his opponents much uneasiness. Few of the Epsomites have seen him gallop lately, and his " box of whistles" is sadly out of order. The secret of Enfield's retrogression in the market may be traced to the fact of his " making a noise." Baron Rothschild's lot' attracted much attention. They went a rattling gallop, North Lincoln being in front at the finish. Brother to Sydney is a great fine horse, but he evidently inherits some of his brother's temper. Whilst we were kicking o ur h ee l s a b ou t t h e moist grass, we were informed that Balnamoon had just arrived, and that after he had taken his small feed of corn lie would come out. We. therefore, with many others, prolonged our stay on the Sixe mile Hill, for the purpose of seeing him. At about half-past ten he made his appearance, in company with Hegira, and a general rush was made to look at him. He is a dark bay colt, standino. about " fifteen two or three", with somewhat drooping quarters, and a small swish-tail, of the shape of that of his celebrated half-sister, Blink Bonny. He has a white face, and his hind legs are white. H e seems somewhat narrow-quartered, but this defect disappears on being looked at from behind. He sweated on Friday, and was conveyed to London on Saturday. He stopped there last night. and reached Epsom, as we have stated, at about nine o'clock this morning. After taking one gentle canter, Hegira led him a pretty strong gallop, and he soon pulled right over. He walks short, and gallops in a somewhat puddling, scratchy liaunP - e but he tucked hi s hi n d l egs we ll under him, so well,, indeed, that he seemed to to be in danger of hitting his fore-fee , . So far as his condition could go, he !Coked wonder fully fit, and Mr. I'Anscr who was with him, declared that he wont,' seat all the northern horses, and that thesouth coutry he hd to fear is Trumpeter mr e think BalnnamoOn a d nice horse—nothin4 more. At Lea t .. l .ierhead, Glenbuck was out between five five ana six. He is small, but seemed harder and more fit than he was when he won the City and Suburban. He did - not appear to us, however, to possess sufficient calibre for a De r by horse. John Scott's horses were on the exercise ground between eight and nine. All except Prelude, and some two year olds, took gentle canters. Gamester was the most fancied of the lot, for lie looked and went well. Phantom seemed " three-cornered," and gave one the idea of a " miler," whilst Schuloff, a great big horse, appeared to be only half-trained. Heroine of Lucknow obtained several admirers. Many horses are expected this evening, but in all probability the favourites will not arrive until to morrow afternoon or Tuesday morning. Electric and several others were expected in the course of to-day or to-morro w. The Findon horses will, it is supposed, walk to Epsom from Kingston. People were chiefly amusing themselves as to who would ride Promised Land, and it seemed to be a moot point whether Alfred Day or William Day would be up. Many persons went so far as to say that William would have the mount. The rain, which set in soon after we left the town, will produce a most beneficial effect on the course, and there is every prospect of a meeting which will be as remarkable for the excellence of its sport as for its numerous attendance.

Now L turn to thes"liicality in Which we are as serfibled; and I say:that the navy of this country is that which can alone presei-V- c o4 ltic , sirceessfully from :Eng land depends the-attacks of hostile Po-A7ers-..... uprin her' fleet. The liberty . of th e wor l d i s main tained by.the power' of England, aid that dower mainly resiAes in her 'fleets. (Cheers.) I hope you will forgive me for introducing these political topics. I have lived a politician all my life, I am one now, and I cannot help speaking what I think. I look to England as the great sun of my existence, and to her welfare and the Consideration of her well. being I would sacrifice my existence. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN next gave the toast of his Excel lency the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, who had con stantly devoted himself to the task of fostering and encouraging the commerce and pronioting the best interests of Ireland.' • - The toast was most cordially drunk. The CHAIRMAN then proposed."Nasperity to the new Steamship Lines, of Milford. Haven." He be lieved that in the establishmenfof these lines there was involved a g l orious futdre for Idilford Haven. - For the southern portion of America, for India, for China, for the Brazilian, Lisbon, and Portuguese ports, 'Milford possessed great facilitie s as a po i nt o f departure. He felt prond at seeinghi ms elf surrounded by so many influential'gentleinen'whO had associated themselves with him in inaugurating this great .undertaking. The commencement of great enter prises was often very insignificant. -In the case of the great Peninsular and 'Oriental' Company, their first voyage was made by a vessel worth £4,000 or £5,000, which was chartered for the purpose, an - d if this company had but one small vessel to open up these lines they might look for a prosperous future ; for, in addition to the commerce which might flow into the port, the land in the immediate neighbourhood possessed in its bosom great stores of mineral wealth which, owing, to the apathy of the people of South Wales, had not yet been developed. While engaged in the establishment of the Galway Line he felt the great importance which existed of rapid, frequent, and punctual steam routes, combined at the sanie time with those which poSsessed the element of safety. (Cheers.) Milford Haven was a port which, in the present European crisis, could command the whole of the British Channel, and would afford a safe anchorage for the whole of the British navy. In a commercial point of view _ the harbour also possessed many great advantages. To shorten the time between Milford and Galway was a matter of no small importance. The last ship that sailed from the port of Galway carried away 643 passengers. This was a number wholly unprecedented for any one steam ship to carry for so, long a distance. There was nothing to show -why they could not fill two ships a week from the port of Galway. He knew it had been put forth that they could not land a single passen ger at Galway, that there was no safe anchorage, and other matters, which they had proved to the world was all nonsense, and the charges brought against the port were nothing but calumnies of the blackest character. He had no wish whatever to elevate the position of Galway at the expense of any other port. There was abundance of room for all enterprises calculated to promote the commerce and elevate the condition of the working classes of this great i ampire. (Cheers.) It could not be questioned that the port of Milford possessed great advantages as 'compared with Southampton, not the least of which were its security and the cheapness and facility for coaling the steamers. In the case of ships laden with gold going to Southampton, they had Cherbourg- staring them in the face, but they could run into Milford without any necessity for incurring the risks of the Channel. The great steam ship companies, too, would know and appreciate the advantages of buying coals at.los. or lls. per ton in this port, instead ofpaying twi e that sum at South ampton, and being broken up, as they now were, by the transhipment to which they were subjected. He was glad to be in a position to announce that so far as the trade of Cork was concerned, arrange ments had been made for commencing at once with a daily line of steamers between Milford and that city. (Cheers.) He looked upon the develop ment of trade and Commerce as most important to the best interests of the working classes. He was no politician, and was an unpractised speaker; his politics were commerce. He entered the House of Commons as the representative of commerce, and by the help of God he intended to do his duty in the position in which he was pliced. The hon. member concluded by proposing the toast, coupling with it the health of Mr. William Owen, the high sheriff of the county of Pembroke. The toast was drunk with loud and repeated cheers.

A number of .gentlemen connected with the shipping iifo i r n d t interests est s of Saturday South for t li e ra p l e u s r p a o n s d e Ireland visited of inspecting th e capabilities of. the harbour, and inaugurating the new steam-ship lines projected from that port. Mr. Lever, M.P., presided at the dinner. The health of her Majesty and the Prince Con sort and the Royal Family having been drunk with the usual demonstrations of loyalty, The toast of the " Army and Navy" was re sponded to by Captain MAXWELL and Captain RAMSAY, the latter gentleman proposing at tlie same time the House of Comm ons , coupling-with it the name of Mr. Roebuck, M.P. Mr. ROEBUCK, in replying to the toast, said—A s a member of the House of Commons, I feel it a'great compliment to have my name associated with the toast which has just been proposed by My gallant friend. The House of Commons I believe to be the governors of England ; that is to say, we govern ourselves, and if we govern ourselves badly it is our own fault ; but I do not believe we do govern our selves badly. (Cheers.) I believ e th a t i n all which has pa sse d in my time —and a few things have passed of very great importance—the House of , Commons has shown itself to be a fair type of Eng lish intelligence, has proved itself worthy of the power and responsibility which the people of Eng land has cast upon it, and h as s h own i tself a goo governor of this great kingdom. (Cheers.) If ever there was a crisis in which the House of Commons was engaged it is the present one. We haveseen in our time great changes. The world has been con vulsed, the House of Commons has stood firm. England has been kept in her position by means of the House of Commons, and if you are a happy . people it is because you are self-governed. (Cheers.) The gallant gentleman has stated that in the last year the House of Commons has been generous in support of the navy. The imputation by that asser tion is that before last year the House of Commons was not generous. To that I give my most distinct denial. There has never been a year in which millions have not been voted for the defence of England, and if there has been any deficiency it has been ,in the Ministers of England and not in the House of Com mons. (Cheers.) Upon that I pledge thyself. I wish it to go forth to the world, and I assert it distinctly, that throughout the time of the R e f orme d House of Common s th e pro tection of England has been complete and generous, and upon no one occa sion can you lay at the door of the House of Com mons any unworthy parsimony. But we have come to a great crisis. The House of Commons has now to deal with parties who have long go{rerned this coun try. What I now say is not merely addressed to this table, but upon the wings of the electric telegraph, I may say, it will be spread all over the world. The coming House of Commons is about to enter on a crisis which has occupied the .2onsideration of Eng land for centuries past. Europe i now in the midst of war, carried on against a Power which can do no injury to England, however it may injure other cuuntzies. We shall bo called upon in this probably about the 7th of next month, to decide nether or not the English Parliament will :put faith in the present Government, or that which is looming its the future. And s hat is looming in the future ? It is that which I have seen during my PoP.',,ical life, now extending over more than 2G .r - -earQ viz., combined with the mo s t v i o l en t profes sions of public policy, of regard for the public in terest, the most intense consideration for private emolument, which is held out for us in exchange from the present Government ? (Loud cheers.) I know well the meaning of that cheer from my friend, who is a supporter of the present Government, and who is. glad of anything which may be saiA. in their support. But, here lam perfectly neutral, and I asked myself—What am I to do ? You have led me into this—l did not. wish to speak to-night; but you have led me into these matters. We have to choose upon the 7th of June whether we shall have Lord' Palmerston or Lord Derby for Prime Minister. That is the question which the House of Commons will have to decide. I see before me the members for Galway and. Merthyr Tydvil, who will be found in the Opposi tion camp when that decision is come to. And I, in what camp shall Ibe ? I shall be in the camp of the people of England, and that camp I sincerely believe to be opposed to Lord Palmerston. (Cheers and cries of Bravo !) Oh, there is no " bravo" in it. (A laugh.) It is a miserable contingency —it is like the war in Italy—whichever side is uppermost mischief must come. (Cheers and laughter.) What am Itodo ? lam a poor inde pendent member, and have to choose between one side or the other, and I say that the least mischief may come from not changing the Administration, and, what is more, I believe that we shall succeed in preventing that change. (Cheers.) I know that there has been a combination, I know that Cambridge-house has gone down to Pembroke lolge, and that the ladies have met. (A laugh.) I know that peace has been made, but England has been forgotten. The only consideration which is regarded is that of the parties thernelves, but as an independent member my consideration is England, and for England's sake—l say for God's sake— don't choose Lord Palmerston. . (Cheers,) I know well what I shall encounter by saying this. I know perfectly well there is no party so admirable in the use of calumny as . the Whig party, and everything that calumny can devise, or that lying can supply, will be adopted by that party. (Cheers.) I full well understand the case, and the words I am em ploying, and I believe that the result will be as I now predict, that the House of Commons will not change the present Administration against that hurriel compact which is now pretended to be made between Lord John Russell and Lord Pal merston. (Cheers.) Lord John Russell has in time past so far demeaned himself as to take advice from me, but upon the present occasion he has carefully abstained from that course, and not one word have I heard either from him or his followers of the new compact made at Cambridge-house. I have found that Lord Palmerston is false and hollow, and that as to his being a Liberal what his own Solicitor-general, Mr. Stuart Wortley, said at the late West Riding election, when some person called him a Liberal, " Don't be too of sure that," applied to that noble lord. (A laugh.) I was sure of it at once. lam now dis possessed of that belief, and lam convinced that the great enemy of the Liberal party is now to be found in Lord Palmerston, and upon that ground I will oppose him. I have opposed him, and, , God willing, we shall be successful. (Cheers.) Time will show, it runs apace, and the 7th of June will rapidly come, and then your friend and the member for Merthyr Tydvil will have an opportunity of showing what he thinks of Lord Palmerston. He will then be enabled to say whether he believes he is a Minister who will properly conduct the affairs of England to the interests of the county, and whether he believes the combination between him and Lord J. Russell is or is not a mere hollow truce, calcu lated to break up the power of England, and leave us to the mercy of European despotism. Think what would occur at the present moment. Europe is at war, hostilities are raging in Italy, and if at the present moment we get rid of Government altogether, and have an interregnum, without any power to govern or control this country, we should be answerable, not only to the people of England of the present, but to coming generations, for every mischief that will follow. (Cheers.) My object is to vindieate what I believe will be the course of the House of Commons. I cannot believe that that house will so far forget' its duty and forfeit its power over the people of England as to return into the councils for the Government of this coun try one so utterly inefficient as Lord Palmerston. I was told by very high authority, before I left London, that Lord John Russell and Lord Palmer ston had made up their differences, that Lord Palmer ston was to be Prime Minister, and that Lord John Russell was to serve under him. In the present condition of things I think that would be a great mischief. Lord Palmerston's appearance as First Minister of the Crown would be throughout the whole Continent a torch of war. (Cheers and cries of " Oh, oh.") War I object to, and I believe that England cannot gain by going to war with any Power on the Continent. Our great- interest is peace. Let others tear themselves to pieces ; let France and Austria fight as long as they please ; but England to look on quietly if they wish to destroy themselves, and should only be opposed to any Power which may be thoroughly vi ctorious. at Suppose Austria was to be the conqueror, what would be the result ? Why, that Italy would ever be what she has been ever since the word began — at the feet. of some other power. Look back either be found the sign of any se lf-govern fl m ou e i l ' ll i t i sh n ed iYn part of into ancient or modern, Italy, and there waasinotatrot of that country. Arts no doubt other wh at side wouldo f middle ages. Italy was g reat,bgtraenadt, th an e d preve wonderful nted intellect of her people made Take the picture. Suppose Fra nce united action and govt rnment:N her victorious, and Savoy. I know th a t you have ? You would have Frenchman governing Etruria, Romagna, Naples, Kossuth,' who has b ut one idea, says that the vic tory of Austria would be injurious to the othe r nations of the world. But what have other nation s done for the world compared with that which Eng land has achieved ? England is now at the very a p e x of civilisation—she is the torch of liberty. All that is great and liberal in the government of mankind has emanated from England, snd I cannot but think that the victory of France over Austria would, by being detrimental to the interests of England, be injurious to the best interests of the world. I know that Kossuth with his wonderful Mr. HOLME, Mayor of Pembroke, proposed " The Directors of the South Wales Railway and the Great Western Railway Company." Mr. BRUCE, M.P., in responding to the toast. took occasion to state that as the cost of the docks at Pennar, to which reference had been made, would be not less than £300,000, afforded a reason for inducing the company to pause before incur ring that expenditure. There had existed great un certainty as to when the terminus of the line would. be required to be made, and it would have been extremely imprudent, without some immediate prospect of return, to embark a large capital in such an undertaking. He' was glad, however, now to be in a position to state that the directors of the South Wales Company had taken, if not a positive, at least a preliminary resohttion, with respect to the policy of when the docks should be made. (Cheers.) It was hardly necessary to state that, in the opinion of the directors the success of the South Wales Railway depended upon the development of the line west of Swansea. (Cheers.) He saw no rea son whatever why Milford Haven should not be a great port, and great advantages would result to the manufacturers and employers of labour in South Wales if a more extensive communication existed between, Ireland and that port. He was himself an employer of about 7,000 men, many of whom were Irishmen, and a great portion of whose provisions and articles of consumption might be beneficially obtained from Ireland. (Cheers.) Mr. Roebuck, who was well known to be a true son of Ishmael, whose hand was against every laugh)—had made some remarks of ' a personal nature respecting him, and to some he felt it necessary to refer. Like Mr. Roebuck, he could not look with satisfaction at the success of either France or Austria in the present conflict on the Continent. (Cheers.) That was not, however I the question which they would have to decide.in the House of Commons. That question would be Whether or not the present Ministers were entitled to the confidence of the country ? That was the issue upon which Loid Derby and his Ministers went to the country, and that was the one which the new House of Commons would have to decide. He had always considered that though Lord Palmerston had many qualities worthy of consideration, Yet that his foreign policy was always dangerous and intermeddling. and in the treatment of small States it was not unfrequently unworthy and pusillanimous. Not that he thought Lord Palmerston was wanting in courage, because he could not but recollect that he was ready enough to beard France in the Syrian affair in 1840. That Lord Palmerston became Prime Minister was not simply owing to the affair of Pacifico, but to his overthrow of the Government of Lord Aberdeen ; and Mr. Roebuck had more to do with putting Lord Palmerston at the head of the Government than anybody else, and upon that occasion he voted with Mr. Roebuck. He was not a blind admirer of Lord Palmerston. He believed him to be deficient of that one quality to which he (Mr. Bruce) attached the greatest importance, viz., earnestness and sincerity of motive, and he would only be found among the fol lowers of that noble lord when he found that the course ought ewh to pursue. (Cheers.) He did notich he proposed was one which the believe won ldb the e tl e i a t t t o h f Lord Palmerston, Government about and to b thought e mfor e d that he would occupy a subordinate place in the Cabinet. Lord Palmerston had, to a great extent by his own acts, forfeited the confidence of the country. He certainly had no unworthy hankering after Lord Palmerston. The path of public men was frequently very intricate, and it often involved the utmost trouble and consideration to arrive at a conclusion with respect to the proper course to be taken. Mr. Roebuck and himself were arrayed. upon different g si i d v e, e s th b e u h m t b e o t t r h ust e e r d the editfor ce a m e p ti a n i g ly as pre h se o n n t est wo a u n l d d independent men. (Cheers.) Mr. ROEBUCK, in explanation, said that he was glad to find that, at least so far as the question of having Lord Palmerston at the head of the Govern ment was concerned, there was identity of opinion between his honourable friend and himself. Several other toasts were proposed, and the meet ing broke up. It is reported that M. Benedetti, Director of the Political Department in the French Foreign-office, has been appointed to an extraordinary mission to the German Con federation. THE LATE FIRE IN LIME-STREET.—At the in quiry this day into the circumstances connected with the late extensive fire in the city, the jury returned the follow ing verdict :—" That the fire was the result of accident, but the jury are of opinion that the quantity cf inflammable material was excessive, and highly dangerous to life and property, and that such trade ought not to be carried on in a populous locality like that of the city of London. His Excellency the Danish Minister has left town to pass a short period at the baths of Malvern, Worcester alnre.
