Obi the motion of Mr. WOODWARD, seconded by Mr. OFFka; flargreave Mann; chairman of the Holoorn Division;-was called to the chair. The Ciainnme.ej eniehit would not be necessary at all for hiunto enter into any statement of the obj e cts o r pu re poses for which the meeting was called, as they were well-known to every commissioner, and had been the subject of much discussion on-previous occasions. After sow preliminaries, Mr. COPPOCK said they had me( on that occasion for the third time only, .for the: purpose of putting into execution that ;-which - the Act of Parliament under which -they, were proceeding directed should be done every yearfur the, third time only he said bad they runt to slo this in a period of twenty-eight years; and without their holding their annual meetings no warrant could be, legally enfoined,"'and no assessment for land tax Made, yet the injustice of the-present system had been goieg on the -whole efe that time, and because it had. Act. gone on 'it -*as now to' be ,said that it was one hat 'could not be looked at. The Learned Gentle- Man then briefly mentionedethe proceedings before the Commissioners tif the Holbornlfividen, ,in 18.50, which led to the--question of : also: equelizetion of the land-tax beingge - brought prominently before the public, and said that last. Year the-n o mmbisioners, at their general Meet ing, passed es reSolbtibn that the amounts. assessed. on a diensiniaehould beraised by an equal pound-rate through oat •suctedivisinn, but they were stopped from , e 'carrying thin 1- r - A 4 ...4---L.T-*L,:ilf:et by eletter from' Air: Keogh, of the Board of Inland.gbientre-, thus they were pre vented, as ;t were, on the very threshold - ot - aueo. , as, from doing their duty - and doing justice 'to the public, which they could- do without wrong to any individual -whatever. He proceeded to contend that the equaliza tion of the:unredeemed portion of - the tax, or even its entire repeal, could not be attended ',with any injustice to those wi) had redeemed the tax on their property; and in comparingahe rate of St. George's and St. .An drew's, Huibern,(ene shilling in the pound), with that of Mereleboue "(one farthing in the pound), men tioned that at least one good result of these proceed ings, and one fur ,which he- thought he ought to re ceive the Meeks' of 'the • inhabitants of Marylebone, was the discovery by one of the commissioners that one of the Marylehene collectors had been making charges for land tax and 'petting the money he received into hie pocket. He then cited the various Acts of Parliament; from that of William and Mary, down to the present- . reign, having reference to the subject, and contended that the commissioners had the full right and power to raise the amount contributable by each division by an equal pound rate. They bad, be said, reason to hope for a better state of things now than existed when they appealed from Mr. John Wood of the Inland Re venue, to Sir Charles Wood of the Excheque , r, althoegb they then acted on the evidence given by Mr. Wood himself before a Committee of the House of Lords, which was published in the Lords' papers, and which he 'would read to the commissioners. But they now had another Chancellor of the Exchequer, and be (Mr. Cop pock) held in his hands the recorded opinions of that Ittgzss Honourable Gentleman on this subject, and he found that at Aylesbury, in 1849, in the course of a pub lic speech, he *aide— . " am certain that there ought to be an equal adjust ment ot local taxation, or rather what is called vocal, though it is tn reality national taxation, and if that were obtained, as in all justice it . ought to be obtained, considerable relief would at once be given to the agricultural interest Gentlemen, I will now atilt yOur attention to another tax which ta d s been,, much . ,dwelt - upon, and- the unjust ar rangement of that tax. You all know that farmers pay dunole the poor-rates paid by other classes, and public epietenletes,eilready given, a verdict that th a t s h ou ld not tie al/Owea,' so that before long a esttlement of that ques tion may be expeCted, which will do justice to the e,gri eultUral am now, however, anxious to call your ateeetiew to a tax the arrangement of which is cnosenejust. No doubt every gentleman present has neartfaud many pay the laud-tax. This tax is so levied that the county of Buckingham pays Is. sd. iu the pound on the rental of the land, while other counties infinitely more populous and infinitely more rice pay 24 in the pound. You are, therefore, called upon to pay an undue amount of the land-tax. &lied, I am not speaking of that portion of land-tax which has been redeemed, because that is always brought forward by our opponents to perplex the question, be cause in nothing that I propose do I wish to dist ur b an y public compact which has been entered into. Oue-third of the land-tax has been redeemed, and therefore no longer presses on the soil; but two-thirds remain to be paid, and produces more than 1,000,0001. annually. Now, it produces -. Is. sd. in the pound iu the county of Buckingham, and only 2d. in Lancashire, and Is. 4d. in Liverpool. I 'ask you, then, where is the equality of --that taxation? The inequality, however, is not peculiar to Buckinghamshire; fur I was speaking to a gentleman from Hertfordshire on the subject before I entered the room, and I find that in his comity they pay Is. 6d. lathe pound. I have alluded to Hertfordshire, because I do not wish to confine the consideration of the subject to Bucking hamshire. I will also take a border county, that of Bed ford, where I find the tax is ls. 6d. in the pound, while in Northampton, anotheer border county, it is more than Is.—in Berkshire, a sister county, it is ls. 3d. Then, again, the remaining twenty agricultural counties, in cluding Somersetsfaire, Kent, Devonshire, and even Es eex—trum which a.. petition signed by 25,000 persons in favoup of tldat tax - stiuu was seat to Parliament, that pe tition being given to me to present by their own county Members because I had originally brought the question forward—in these twenty agricultural counties the ave rage ot the land-tax is but little under Is. in the pound. Having given you these facts, which I have dr a wn fr om Official documents, I will pat before you the conclusions to whicn. have come. • 'lf the land-tax were levied throughout the country as in Buckinghamshire, and that is riots() high as in Hertfordshire or Bedfordshire, in stead of realising 1,000 ; 0001. it would realise 5,000,0001. Mind I -um not proposing any new tax opposed to the spirit of the age, but only the equalization of a tax which already exists; and in this I have a right to anticipate the support of those who have declared themselves in favour of equal taxation and &Juniata re form, for cut of thy own mo u th w ill I jud ge th ee .' All that I ask is, that the tax on land, which has been already sanctioned by Parliament by an ancient Act, shall be levied throughout the country in the same proporte n as in Buckinghamshire; fur, tholLth the tax presses heavily on the agricultural districts, it does not press on: Manchester, Liverpool, or Brighton. 'Gentle men, suppose we had this equalzation of the land-tax, and the consequent 5,000,000/., the question arises what shall we do with it ? We have with this money the means, in my opinion, of raising the agriculture -of Eng land from its deprersion, so that the leuded interest should find itself, itt that position in which, as long as I live, I will labour to place it." He (Mr. Coppock) found the person who uttered. these sentiments was bow the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the hope he entertained of their being assisted by him in equalising this tax was fortified by the opinions' of the present Attorney and Solicitor-Generals—Sir F. Thesieer and Sir F. Kelly. The subject was divisible into three parts : first, the inequality of parish with parish in a division; then division as with division; and then county with county. Ho proposed only to deal with the first, and the - iniquity and injustice of the pre sent mode, of levying the tax would be apparent when it was considered that on one side of - Oxford-street it was I 6d. in the pound, whilst on the other it was but a They were net to exclude common sense from the appli cation of this Act of Parliament, and the cenaulissioners were bound to equalise parish with parish in one divi sion. He was ot opinion that they had the power to re arrange the divisions of the county, but that had better be dealt with by Parliament. So long as the Board of Inland Revenue got the quota assessed on the county, they did not care how it was raised or where it came from, but it was the duty of the commissioners to see that there was a fair ,and equal pound rate on the divisions. The ruling of Lord Campbell, and the other judges of the Court of Queen's Bench, in the case of Bradley Haverstoe, was clear and conclusive. Justice, law, and common sense were on his side, and he was confident the good sense ot his brother commissioners would lead them to the same conclusions. He then moved— "That to raise the sum of 107,602/. lls. 7d., the quota laid on the rest' of the county of Middlesex in and by the 38th Geo. 111., c. 5, for the service of the year 1852, the proportions to be raised by each division to be as follows:—(flere were inserted the figures of last year.) And that the same be raised by an equal pound rate on each division." Mr. OFFER (of the Tower Hamlets division) seconded the resolution. He instanced the inequalities existing between some of the parishes of that division, in some which the tax was as much as 2s. in the pound, with Ktrylebone, and said if they could not get justice with out going to Parliament, let them go to Parliament and obtain a geneial equalization. Mr. W. PAYNE (the Coroner) said the question was twofold, %hat it would . be advisable to do, end what they had the power to do. Ile conceived that justice and ev?eron sense were w i t h hi s - friend Mr. Coppock in the s he took in this Matter; but he could not agree e im ar a r t he had the law with him, and they were bound to ppo ,7 t t) o 7 k a : nth , ority of Lords Mansfield and Kenyon in ber j e out the law. The Learned Gentleman quoted, as su except in the mode adopted for so many vied at pp e u se L s nt view, that the tax could not be legally le years.

We have not a single ship at Corfu, no cruiser on the coast of Syria—at a moment, too, when the greatest excite ment prevails with respect to the Tanzimat; we have not a single pendant at the Piraeus, and whilst a heavy French frigate has by this time passed the Dardanelles,aand is anchored off Constantinople, the re presentative of the British navy th ere i s an old, worn out, leaky tub—the Shearwater, with not guns enough on board to return any compliment paid to the union jack. Hitherto it has always been held that the natural rendezvous for the main division of the British fleet in commission is on the station on which the French fleet is cruising, and near the forces of other powers. It has also been considered that the best method of keeping our ships in an efficient state, and teaching our Junior officers and men their profession, is by cruising and ex ercising together, and performing their evolutions in company and in succession, which enabled Howe, Jervis, and Nelson to engage so successfully the superior forces of the enemy. Opinions appear to have changed, and systems to have altered. It would seem now that the means adopted to make our fleet efficient are to keep the line-of-battle ships as far distant from each other as possible. Time, however, will test the soundness of the judgment which has weakened our Mediterranean forces at a time when our rivals are so strong on that station, and distributed our ships to those ports at which their priasence is unnecessary. —Herald. We stated yesterday that commanders would be ap pointed to the flag-ships at the home ports as formerly, . and we gave the appointment of Commander J. B. Marsh (1844), to the Waterloo, 120, flag-ship, Sheerness.

Bazzini, the great Italian violinist, made his appearance on Saturday night. He was announced to perform three morceaux of his own composition, each entirely different in style and cha racter, and he had not played a dozen bars before he proved himself not only a complete master of his instru ment, but a true musician by nature, feeling, and genius, delighting and revelling in all the passionate beauty and poetry of his art. M. Bazzini first played an eleeset and brilliant study on Donizetti's Anna Bolena—exquisitely performed, and followed by im mense applause. His next theme was the celebrated finale from Lucia, into which he threw a soul and ex pression not to be surpassed by that greatest of all in struments—tbe human voice. In his hands the violin absolutely sings this beautiful air with all the pathos, tenderness, and passion of a Bubini. The largo was executed entirely upon the fourth chord, and was given by Bazzini with a power and grandeur worthy of Paganini himself, of whom he re 3ainded every musician present who had had the gratifi cation of hearing that great master. This marvellous performance coneluded with a scherzo, " La Ronde des Lutins," one of those fantastic dreams of fairyland in which the imagination of the coins poser and player is allowed full scope, and which considered alone as an exhibition of executive skill, is one of the most extraordinary feats ever heard on this instrument. His passages of tenths, dou ble notes, and daring leaps of bow and hand, preserving unerring truth of intonation, even in the wildest velocity of delivery, exhibited a mastery over every conceivable intricacy and difficulty impossible to sur pass. This wondrous display, at first frequently in terrupted by expressions of delight, as it proceeded gra dually excited a perfect furore on the part of the public, who, after a tempest of applause, insisted on a repetition of the entire morceau, a demand which, notwithstanding its unreasonableness, was complied with by M. Bazzini with unimpaired energy; and he concluded amid re newed acclamations on the part of the entire assembly. Among the many claimants to the succession of the great Paganini, M. Bazzini must be set down as the most ideal and poetic that has yet been heard in Paris. ODEON.—NI. Leon Gozlan has produced Les Cinq Minutes du Commandeur, a drama in five acts, founded on an excellent novel of the author's. The transplanta tion and adaptation to the stage has been effected so inju diciously that the plot, to those who areunacquainted with the romance, is perfectly incomprehensible. Under these circumstances, it is not to be wondered at that Les Cinq Minutes du Commandeur should have been a failure. Since the first representation it would app.ar that some changes had been effected in the drama, as it has kept its ground on the affiche, whore, however, it seems impossible that its sojourn can be permanent. OPERA. COMIQUE.—The last novelty here, Le Far fadet, partakes of the unsubstantial nature of the fan tastic being denoted by its title, both as regards the music and the libretto. It is an old story, but arranged in a new form, and gaily narrated by M. de Planard. A clumsy miller is about to marry the pretty Laurette, under the compulsion of one of those traditional uncles fast disappearing from the stage, while he is in reality attached to a cer tain Mdlle.

LAMBETH WATERWORKS. The potential influence of public epinten has already begun to tell upon the metrop ditan water companies, Red Tuesday furnished one of its most unmi,takeable proofs. The Lambeth Water Company has, ever since the year 1785, supplied the chief portion of southern London with water drawn from Ihe Tnanies, in the ins mediate neighbourhood of Hungerford-hridge. The purity of the beverage during the last century must hsve been questionable; what it has been for many years back it would be almost painful to describe. A better era has, however, dawned. A special train on the South- Western Railway on Tuesday conveyed the directors and a party of 350 friends to the Kingston station, to witness the opening of the new works, constructed by the company at Ditton, on the banks of the Thames. A large extent of ground has been enclosed at the spot known as Seething-wells, opposite to Hampton park. At this point of the river, 23 miles above London-bridge, three miles above the tidal range, and above Teddin g t on -l oc k, t h e water i s d rawn f rom the river through gratings and wire-strainers into several enormous filtering reservoirs, each of which is constructed to hold several hundred thousand gallons. The bed of these tanks is formed of layers of shale, pounded shells, and fine and coarse gravel, through which the fluid must pass to be pumped up the steam engines, and transferred by the aqueduct pipes to the reservoirs at Brixton-rise and Streatham-hill. Profiting by the guidacce of Mr. Simpson and Mr. Pole, engi neers, and Mr. Phipps, the secretary, th e v i s it ors in spected the processes of filtration, the sluices having been opened for the purpose, and then examined, the boiler house and steam-engines. Four engines of 600-horse power collectively, of superior construction, fu rn i s h adequate power for the supply of 1 . 0,900,00 . 0 gallons of water per day—a quantity which it is estimated may be increased three or even fourfold, if requisite. After duly inspecting the w h o l e o f th e works, and witnessing the commencement of active operations, the company adjourned to a large marquee, where a very excellen t collation did much credit to Mr. Richard Gunter, the purveyor. Mr. James C. Peache, the chairman of the company, was supported by Sir James Duke,. M.P., Major Oliphant, Mr. G eac h, M.P., Mr. Dakin, Mr. Pepper, mayor of Ki ngs t on , Li eu tenant-General Sir John Wilson, &c. After various toasts and speeches. which were all well received, the company dispersed, .to re-assemble at the railway-station, about half a mile dis tant, where the special train conveyed the party back to town before night arrived. .v..;‘,,,....., . _ ~...,......7, „....;:, ~.., . , ..,..)::‘,' - .....):: ' ::':" - ' ''.lo.' „4, . ~...i,#'....11"?'...111'. .

From San Francisco, California, we have advises to ,he 18th ult. The following is a summary of the news:— " The anticipations entertained at the opening of the present winter of a prosperous season in mining have been measurably disappointed by the unexpected ces sation of the rains. At the opeeieg of the season it was thought that the aurae-us earth that had been thrown up would prove more productive during she winter months than any other department of mining. This would, doubtless, have been the case if the rains had continued. Yet, notwith standing the unfavourable character of the season thus far, a reasonable degree of prosperity had attended the miners generally in all pens of the country. The ordinary placer diggings continue to yield abundantly where there is sufficient water to work, and many loca lities which have been almost inoessently worked since 1849 are still productive, without any appearance of ever being exhausted. This seems to be more especially the case in some of the southern mines. The Calaveras Chronicle, speaking of Carson's Creek, says—' fhe diggings all along the creek are paying well, although the ravine has been worked twice already. Ma has been perhaps the richest place in California, paying largely throughout its whole extent, while some portions of it have yielded amounts totally unprece dented in the mines. The want of water, however, is severely telt here ; but the miners are in expecta tion of relief in this matter by the introduc tion of water from the Stanislaus. Should this take place the ravines and flats along the creek will amply repay the labour expended in their working, and it is said that even far up the hillsides good diggings are to be found. The day after the recent rains a Mexican boy, walking along the creek, picked up a piece of quartz, which, up in being broken with a hammer, pro duced eight ounces of gold ;and on the same day a miner known as 'Norwegian Bill' discovered among the tailings a piece of pure gold weighing six ounces. From this creek rises the celebrated quartz mountain, supposed to contain the richest veins of gold of any similar formation in the State. The most valuable sections of this hill have been for some time in litigation between Morgan and Finnegan and Co., which has interfered materially with the operations of both parties. There are several sets of machinery at work, crushing the quartz from the hill on the Stanislaus River, which runs by the base of the mountain on the east. There is no doubt but this will eventually prove one of the most productive veins in the country. We are informed by a geni i ''' . man who has spent some time in critical examinad ° 7 z B of various mining districts, and especially . or z ,li e r e r da mining, that the Rocky Bar Company, In uivg i nto County, has succeeded in constructing and P that with operation the most effective machinery P r l re learn from introduced, and that their works are 720 e. d0115. per ton. every prospect of success.

Y an ample remune ration for their cal) • itseave madeCalifornialt seems that the fearful tragedies that a tf so unplea tly distinguished have not yetceased e nt ire ly. We learn from th e Calaveras Chronicle of Saturday, the 14th of Febr u ary, that on the previous Wednesday saglishman and an I • two men, an ...at, . rishman, were hung at MurpbY L ___ t. The Chronicle says —Two tente ee" "eve broken into at that camp, from of which 400 dollars had been taken,d one from but 25 from the othe r dOll5. Sheriff Nlarshall, we learn, arrested the persons who had committed the crimes, and t h e y proved to be an Englishman and an Irishman, who se names we were unable to learn. The people were infuriated beyond control, showing by th e i r excited tyc oons t h at nothing but the lives of the criminals would be allowed to expiate their guilt. Accordingly • d they seized them from the sheriff, and, with shouts of passionate ex ultation, launched the unfortunate culprits into eternity. From Calaveras County we learn that new diggings have recently been discover, d east of the Butte, andabout three miles from Jackson, which are creating some ex citement. The average depth is about twelve feet, and a portion of the dirt 3 ields from 2 dolls, to 3 dolls. per pan. Hunt's Gulch—This old and well-known gulch is being thoroughly worked the present winter, and we doubt not that it maintains its old reputation. Over a half -million of dollars have been taken out of it since first discovered, and probably as much remains. With one or two exceptions this has n the richest gulch in Our county, it not in the State. North Fork— Übe rni- hers near ' The Gate,' who are washing the dir, thrown up by them the past summer, are doing extremely well. We are informed that their dirt, on the average, pays from one to three ounces a day per man. Quartz Veins —Several very rich quartz veins have recently been dis covered in the vicinity of the volcano. The discoverers are so sanguine of success that they are about procur ing very extensive machinery. Some of the rock averages from 40c. to 50c. per pound, A Sonora paper says,--' Last Sunday Mr. J. Rabey was walking along a little to the north of the Bull Pen, and observed a small point of quartz sticking out from the ground with gold in it visible. Ho proceeded to pull out the stone, and found it to weigh 96 oz., and to be worth 1,000 dollars or upward. The Bull Pen lies at the eastern base of the bill, the western base of which runs into Holden's garden. The character of the quartz and gold just found is the same as that of the c-lany lumps found in the garden, and probably came from another dip of the same vein. It wdl be remem bered that about a month ago four other lumps were found on the surface within the short apace of ow r weak, bat more than 2')O or 300 yards trdro she 1 spot over which Mr. Rabey walked last ands total value of the five lumps is 3,500 dellare, surface pickings ;finrely.'

Lord Derby. has a, character for frankness and fair dealieg•to lose, and we fear he is in a Lair way to less it, The more anxious we have been to, secure for hitn faii play and courteous treatment in , a Situation of: the. utmost difficulty and embarrasament s —the more strenuous we have` been compelled to be in resisting the onslatight of the three Oppositions on the scarcely .orginized nistry, the more imperatively do we feel called upon to reprobate the disingenuousness of the proceertieg by which the majority of the Muse of Cominons had been lulled into what would seem to be a folse_security. We never disputed the constitutional doctrine, that,. as the Prime Mitileter of this country ought to possess the confidence of the majority of the House of Commons, and as Lord Derby, by his own admission, ottirsingthened by that of the Cbaecellor of the Exchequer aricistaisSecridaTicdf State ten the tie CnkenteAiriet possess that confid e n ce , is" placed in ati ab 'ithd exceptional position, which ought not to be continued one moment longer than the necessities of the public service ansolutely demand. We have hitherto been un der the impression that Lord Derby himself held the same opinion, and that he was as willing as his autago. fists to put an end to an interregnum neither gratitlsing to his pride nor calculated to contribute to the lustre of his reputation. We thought that he would not endure a moment longer than duty compelled him the presence of a Parliament of which he was the nominal leader, but not the actual master. We thought that, whatever might be the impatience with which the men of Man chester burn to enter the lists, our fiery Premier would be as eager for the confict as they. It seems, however, that we were mistaken. To hold the responsibility of office without its powers, to be Prime Minister under a hostile Opposition, to be confined to" humble and useful" duties, to resign the adv, racy in words and the per tormanco in deeds cf those thin g s which for six years he has solemnly declared to be indispensable, —these things, so grievous to ordinary mortals, could not, we thought, be light and easy of endurance to the proud heir of the house of Stanley. On the 19th of last month, in answer to a question by the Duke of Newcastle, the Earl of Derby spoke as fol lows:—" I will go a step further, and say that I think the next autumn ought not to be allowed to pass over, not only without the country having had the opportunity of coming to a decision, but without Parliament having hid the opportunity of pronouncing definitively all finally its opinion and its judgment tin the course of policy that ought to be adopted on the part of the Go vernment. I will give no pledge as to time, whether in April, in May, or in June, that an appeal shall be made to the country, but I admit that an appeal ought to be made to the country before the ordinary time of commencing the next session of Parliament, and that the great question in issue should be decided and adjue , licated upon by Parliament at an earlier period, so that the ordinary and current business of the next session should not be interfered with by a protracted discussion on the commercial and financial position of the country." Lord Aberdeen, on behalf of the Conservative, and Lord Grey,' on the part of the Whig Opposition, professed themselves satisfied with this promise; and well they might, for, without attempting to weigh words and syllables, or to deal with the declaration of a high spirited nobleman by the rules of special pleading and minute verbal criticism, any man of plain sense reading this pa‘sage would understand,—first, that Lord Derby contemplated the probability of a dissolution unless some extraordinary circumstance intervened ; and, secondly, that he proposed in the course of the autumn, and before its close, to submit to Parliament the question of what policy the Government ought to pursue. Mr. Disraeli was not so t xplicit in his expla nations, and the result was, that while in the House of Commons the Mil isterial explanations gave rise to a long and angry debate, in the House of Lords the explae nation was treated as quite sadafactory. On the follow ing Monday, however, Lord John liusssell. stating the construction which he put on Lord Derby's answer, which was exactly what we have said would be the con struction of any person of common sense, announced his intention, on the faith of the promise, to facilitate as much as possible the progress of public business. This was done in the presence of iho Ministry; and if Lord Derby had been misreported, or if the construction placed by Lord John Russell on his words was forced or erroneous, it was their duty to contradict an interpreta tion which, by their silence and acquiescence, they rendered their own. On the strength of this interpretation the estimates were passed unquestioned, and no doubt was thrown on the intentions of the Government till Lord Derby's declaration of Tuesday last. " Nothing," he then said, "has ever fallen from my lips which could lead any one to suppose that the present would be a session of unusually short duration. I never said anything which could justify such a conclusion;" and afterwards Lord Derby added, interrupting the Duke of Newcastle for the purpose, that he never mentioned the months of April, May, or e June, a statement in which be was directli and moat justly contradicted by the Duke. Of cours e , we arc unable to account for these startling di screpancies, h e hat sinc to e say whether Lord Derby un intentiona lly misled t h e tei of view the oo- House in the first instance, or w changed his mind, and now s eeks to re tract the pledge unadvisedly given. But in et cher pont I currence is greatly to be regr etted, n t h e first p lace, it tends not indirectly to lower that unhesitating and eager confidence which everyoned. placed in the assurance dfai into m u a st of Lord Derby, understoo d in its ordinary sense, and without the slightest syprehhension of any female or am biguity of languag e' declarationslfe second place, such a depar ture from form er give f t r h e o s s h e bi p tt a e s r s n io e n s s s of which we had hoped to have been 08 oton, an to the OPP °'itson, a ll a yed. After one party has been, to use the mildest 8 , signally term, m i sta k en in the meaning of the other, the violence and has , th rough _ that mistake, conceded a great advan tage, it will be very difficult to bring them again to a mu tual understanding. If the session be, as everybody except the Ministers seems to think most desirable, destined to be brought to a speedy close, this end will now probably be obtained, not through mutual agree ment and compromise, but by making the minority feel in the fullest extent that it is the minority, and that Go vernment, in this Parliament at least, exercises its filia tion% merely on sufferance. We have no wish to rank among the counsellors of Lord Driby, but, as having been uniformly anxious to obtain for him the fullest hearing and the fairest trial, we beg to point out how little will be gained by pro tracting the session at the expense of so much character and public confidence. The position of a Ministry in a minority is neither dignified nor popular. It forbids a Government to advance, and for a Government not to advance is to recede. Every week that Lord Derby's helpless situation continues is sapping the foundation of that party for whose support he looks at the coming election. Uncertain of the intentions of the Government, constituencies are taking the mat• per intotheir own hands, and are in many in- stances displacing adherents of the present Ministry to make room for candidates possessing little else that is definite except an adhesion to the doctrines of free trade. The cry on that side is certain and popular; on the other the trumpet gives an uncertain sound, and who shall prepare himself for battle? Wavering be tween Protective yearnings and Free Trade realities, without any avowed policy, without any clearly defined intentions, the Ministry seems to live on from day to day impatient of its present anomalous state, and yet afraid to exchange it sooner than it is absolutely com pelled for its future condition, whatever that may be. Such policy is too refined and artful for the blunt and downright English nation. Let Ministers propound their principles, and it will accept or reject them; but in this free country we do not submit, except provi sionally, and then with much impatience, to the govern ment of a minority, and are not in the habit of being consulted as to wh - a't principles our rulers ought to adopt. f t and [ADVERTISEMENT.] Holloway's Oin tment ___ . a h e idvice of cur.
