I ACTUARY AND SECRETARY. THOMAS MULLINDER, E.sq., F.I.A. FROM TERRACE PIER, GRAVESEND. WI:ZS DAYS. SUNDAYS. Time. REFUTATION of the FALSE HOODS and porting t tll b S e lt a EPRESENTATIONS contained in a Pamphlet, pur " Review" of the POST-OFFICE LONDON DI RECTORY FOR 1852, recen tl y c i rcu l a ted : —th e P amp hl e t, which bore no printer's name, was signed "F. W. Watkins." It contained lists of perso s alleged to have died, or to have removed, but whoSe names are still in the " Post-office Directory." The " Refutation" proves that in many cases the allegations of the " Review" arc totally wit'iout foundation in truth, the persons Whose names have been so unjustifiably made free with being alive knl in business at the very places stated in the " Post-office London Directory." Besides the allegations quite devoid of truth, many are made Which, although true, are c ilculated to convey an entirely erroneous impression —the writer of the " Review" (who must have known that a bastness is frequently carried on in the name of a deceased person), having made a collection of the names of people lately dead, has published them, treating as a disparagement to the " Post office Directory," that these names still remain in its Edition for the current year. The " Refutation" contains flertifleates from many of the succes sors of the deceased persons, that the retention of the names is ab solutely necessary for the purposes of business, and that it would have been wrong to have omitted them ; Just as it would have been Wrong to have omitted " Coutts and Co., bankers, 59, Strand," although Mr. Contts is dead, and there is no person of the name con nected with the firm. The Certificates of the persons Interested are the best possible proof of the necessity for the retention of the names, although it Must be manifest that the Proprietor of the " Post-office London Directory" would not have been in blame had no such necessity existed ; it being quite beyond his power to prevent persons either dying or removing, after having been called upon during the com pilation of the work. and before its completion and publication. The " Refutation" likewise: shows, that of the important streets stated in the "Review" to be omitted in the " Post-office Directory for 1852," some arc actually Colliaincd at the proper position, while it proves that others are not merely so, but that the charge of error is made against the " Post-office Directory," in consequence of the author of the " Review' first misspelling the names of the streets, and then discovering that they are not inserted in the " Post-office Directory as so misspdt ; the fact being that they are in the proper place correctly described. The " Refutation," consisting as it does of 14 imperial octavo pages, cannot be even abstracted within the limits of an advertise ment, but it may be had gratuitously, on application at this office, or will be forwarded on receipt of four postage-stamps. The under signed believe that a more thorough exposure than is contained in the " Refutation," of gross, and in many cases, ludicrous misrepre sentation, has never issued from the press. W.

G REAT MEETING AT THE LONDON TAVERN, On Thursday last, the Right Honourable LORD MAYOR in the Chair, For the Prevention of Destitution and Mendicancy. A Gentleman present, not being able to make a speech, has serr us his notes, from which we make a few extracts. I approve of this movement ; from what has been said it is evi dent that " prevention" is aimed at as well as cure, your hearts have suffered from the sympathetic grief which the sights of wretched ness and misery have produced, and your ear has not refrained from the tale which the mendicant has poured out. What pleasure it would afford you to see all your f chow men, and especially our mechanics and industrious artizans, who it has just been said " Often become the subjects of our bounty," from the fact of their having paid high prices for those things which they daily require, and more particularly for their DRESS, which has been an immense subject of consumption in all families, and was, prior to the enterprise of E. NOSES and SON, charged outrageous prices, but now is made ac cessible to every one at their Mart at an easy rate. I repeat to see these, with all the inhabitants of London and its surrounding coun- try, providing themselves with a fund in the day when they can labour, a fund on which they may depend in time of need, thus cul tivating a spirit of independence and saving you the great sum you have to contribute to the various institutions from which destitution seeks for relief. You pledge yourselves to support this movement, and the way by which you may best do so, is to save forty per ce n t by purchasing all your Dress and that of your dependants at the Economical Clothing Mart of E. MOSES and SON ; this will enable you further to extend your liberality in your excellent plans. Economy and frugality arc the best preventatives of destitution and mendicancy. " Waste not, want not," is true as ever. The most certain way to prevent destitution in the City and elsewhere is for the people to become possessors of those advantages offered to all classes, purchasing every article of Dress at E. MOSES and SON'S, Alclgate and Minories, or New Oxford-street and Hart street. Such a course would certainly prevent a great amount or destitution, leaving the people a large amount of money purely the result of superior quality and low prices. The prices being more than 40 per cent. lower than any other house, constituting an entire saving of cash to meet accident, scarcity, and old age. The amount saved in forty per cent. makes a large sum in family expenditure— is a fortune before age adv inces, and has already prevented a great amount of distress in the City and in other places. I, therefore, urge on any Gentleman here who has not already given E.

There are two essential points to be considered in the purchase of attire—namely," The person and the purse ;" and RYAN! and Co. consulted at their E s t a bli s h ments as b e l ow . would have it understood th at eac h o f th ese po i n t s ,ma y be advan tageously TIIE PROTECTION OF THE PERSON is secured in the firmness and durability of the cloths and other ma terials manufactured at the Establishments of lIYAM and Co. No piece-goods but those possessing undoubted excellence are ever per mitted to find warehouse-room at lIYAM and Co.'s houses. The best of the markets, regardless of cost, is at all times secured by the proprietors for the manufacture of their dress ; and hence that high reputation and public confidence which lIYAM and Co. have so long enjoyed. are in fact assailable, he writes, "and at least liable to insult, and to havo Contributions levied upon us, on all parts of our coasts, that is, the coasts of these islands, including the Channel Isles, which tillthis never te : from the period of the Norman conquest, have been successfully invaded." It is difficult to believe that this statement could grow into the awful disclosures contained in Sir Francis Head's work, and that the need foranning a few coast batteries could be straightway turned into a necessity for fortifying a city like London —as if our citizens had nothing to do but play at sol. diers, like national guards. The question to be decided —if additional defence should ever be required to meet additional dangers—is how these defences should be se cured with the greatest advantage, without their be coming a burden to the nation. When, in 1798, Mr. Secretary Dundas moved for leave to bring forward the Government bill on the national defences, be quaintly stated, amongst other matters, that it had become ne cessary in particular districts to erect covers for bat teries, and to raise works in critical situations, but where these positions were he found it impossible to point out. Happily we are very differently situated. There is not a point on our coasts the exact defensive qualities of which are not perfectly laid down in the Ordnance survey. The Government is aware of every locality which requires strengthening, and our present engineer officers aro ..not surpassed for professional knowledge by any corps in the world. We were told the other day that the dockyards of Portsmouth and Plymouth were to be put in a proper state of defence. Why were they not always in a proper state of defence? —because the money which is annually voted for ord nance works and which the public believe to be thus spent is squandered in foolish " brick and mortar jobs." Real defences are not expensive matters, so far as ma sonry is concerned; for the uselessness of long lines of walls and ditches round the seaports were discovered many years back. Sieges have become too expensive, and all that is required are good strong batteries, plac e d at the assailable poidts-of importance—open batteries whence the gunners can take a steady aim at advancing steamers, not expensive casements where they get blinded and suffocated with smoke, For in future wars, ships will not amuse themselves in exchanging long-range shots with the land batteries, but bearing down on them will come to close quarters and endeavour to overpower them with the weight of their broadsides. Of this the Americans are fully aware, for many of their coast batteries are in double and triple tiers like a line-of-battle ship. The defences of Great Britain must be restricted to the fortifications in our dockyards, the entrances of the river leading to our commercial sea ports, and to having our large force afloat properly dis posed. We must insist upon having some of our ships home. England, now again, as ever before, must rely for her chief safety on the courage and dexterity of her seamen and the presence of her Wooden Walls. Since the attention of the Ministry is being given to this sub ject, we warn them to lase well what they have, before asking for more—to offer the country army and navy reform, before they ask for army or navy extension. HERALD.—When a writer, in the Morning Chronicle, a few days since, ventured a hope that Lord John Rus sell would not raise such a flame, before leaving office, as should render the Government of the country by any other persons impossible, it was inevitable that our minds should be driven to the ballot as the real danger at which these earnest deprecations pointed. To our minds this is the only danger which exists in the discus sion or proposal of new reforms. As to the schemes for disfranchising some of the smaller broughs, and giving the seats to the counties, we can see no necessary peril in them. They may be wise or unwise; but, at all events, they seem to i nvo l ve no ver y se rious danger. It would quite otherwise with the adoption of the ballot. In that we see much real peril, while we see also a pro posal to legislate expressly to relieve men from the obli gation of keeping a promise. With these views, then, when we hear men talk of some danger connected with the new Reform Bill, we naturally oonolude that it is the ballot to which they refer. There is also a singular circumstance, as connected with this question, perceptible in the reform article in the Edinburgh Review. We mean, that almost every other proposition that has been named, or can be imagined, is discussed in that article ; but that the ballot is studiously passed over. We say studiously—for it is not possible that the writer should have overlooked or forgotten it. The entire silence observed on this subject is distinctly expressive of one thing;—that the writer knew not which side it might be necessary to take, on a question which could only be answered by a plain Yes, or an equally distinct No. And from this silence we draw a further omen, that the Ministerial mind is not fully de cided to reject the proposal. Yet there is one very re cent and loud -speaking event which has an important bearing on this question, and on which we must say a few words. The Examiner, always a Whig-Radical organ, and of course favourable to Mr. Grote's panacea, had an article last week on what is called " The impos sible 7,439,216." The most surprising point in that clever and ingenious article was, that its writer did not see that the fact upon which it dwelt told about a thou sand times more strongly against its own favourite, the ballot, than it could do against the French President! It is true that the one weak point in this election was, that it was effected by secret voting. This was not the President's first intention or command. Ho was per suaded by others to depart from his original purpose. In order to ensure freedom of voting, he ordered the vote to be secret. And here is the reward. He is now told, " You have polled more votes than could by possibility hare existed." Let us look at this allegation, first, as it affects Louis Napoleon's election ; and, secondly, as it shows the absurdity of th e w h o l e s y s t em o f b a ll ot - vot i ng. 1. As far as Louis Napoleon's election is concerned, the objection is merely frivolous. Is there a living man who doubts that the President received as many millions of bona fide votes as there were of hundreds of thousands against him? In a word, is there any one who doubts that he had the vote of fully nine out of every ten? And if this cannot be doubted, of what consequence is it to him, or to his election, whether or no 300,000 or 400,000 votes in his favour were mistakenly or fradalently thrown in ? The great proof of that election really was what the return represented it to be, is found in the fact, that there had been no denials of its sub stantial truth. Had any town or village known that its inhabitants were indisposed towards Louis Napo leon, and would vote against him, and had they afterwards seen an official return, showing that 1,200 voted in his favour, and only 86 against him, would they not have disclaimed, publicly, the whole transaction, and have denounced it as a cheat? But not a whisper of the kind has been heard. The general truth of the return is established by the universal assent of the people. So far, then, as Louis Napoleon is con cerned, the charge is immaterial. We may ask the Examiner, and other impugners, " What is your be lief? Do you suppose that as many as 1,000,000 of votes were fabricated? Well, if that be all, the result will be, that in your view, the President was only elected by 6,439,216 votes, against 640,737—0 r only by 10 to 1, and not by more than 11 to 1, as the official re turn stated. And that is all you have to say. Well , what matters it, whether you are right or the official return? Either way the majority was prodigious." But the case is different when we turn from the elected to the method of election. It matters nothing to Louis Napo leon whether he were chosen by 7,439,216 votes, or_to by 6,439,216. But when we come to di scuss t h e B a llot, fabricated. speak of its m e rit s an d demerits, it matters a great deal a t o find its own advocates boldly asserting that under ballot election a million or so of votes canbefafbonr And we believe that many have some ground , assertion. Whether it arose from the overzeal of some w n e ot b p ei r i o e p v e e r t l h y e q f z i lifiofficials,qua lified, ,or or from fro m a whatever crow crowd of other ea partisan s use, to be, that more votes were taken at the Presiden tiallante:tivheavbeelbeeevn election than ought to have been taken. that, making the proper allowance for abstaining par ties,p ole polled. And many as this as conclusion, , 4 39 6 i v s o v te e r ri s fi c e o d u b ld y a few ambiint minutes examination of the various official returns.

And whenever there is a contest, the first struggle between the two parties al ways ls,;" Who shall appoint the scrutineers?" Which ever side ca n nominate the parties who are to hold the ballot-boxes, reckons itself sure of the election. Such is the working of the ballot, even in England. Why should we expect it to work better in France? THE ADORNMENT OF THE PERSON is equally studied by HYAM and Co., and is equally apparent in newness of design, elegance of style, and ease and exactness of fit. To secure these points to the purchaser, the proprietors engage none but the best cutters and workmen, at a liberal allowance of wages. HYAM and Co. take especial care to confine the various branches of their trade to distinct classes of artists, so that each description of dress may be the more perfectly executed in design and finish. THE PURSE is consulted by HYAM and Co. in a system of extraordinary eco nomy. A legitimate and equitable reduction of profit, coupled with a judicious expenditure •f an extensive capital, has enabled the pro prietors thus to carry out a system of cheapness ; and it is univer sally admitted that the purse, as well as the person, is advantageously studied at lIYAM AND CO.'s ESTABLISHMENTS.

TIMES a—Scarcely six months have elapsed since the Imperial Parliament was occupied with a grave discus sion as to the existence or non-existence of piracy on the coast of Borneo. It will not be forgotten how resolutely the fact was denied by the small but determined party of " peaceinekers" and economists. Sir James Brooke was denounced as an unscrupulous despot, who, for the purposes of private aggrandiz 9 m en t bad employed the terrible arms o f scientific warfare against uuoffending and defenceless natives, and the destruction of a fleet cf prahus surprised in o p en sea was stigmatised as a fero cious and sanguinary massacre. The question, of course, hinged en the ascertainable character of the savages who had been thus chastised, and in maintaining the innocence of these reputed victims. Mr. Bright and his friends relied, with considerable plausibility, on the evidence of Mr. Robert Burns, a namesake and de scendant of the celebrated poet, and a trader in these parts. Mr. Burns was not on good terms with Sir James Brooke; unpleasant communications had passed between them, and as the particular question of piracy was one on which their views especially differed, it was highly na tural that strong testimony should be forthcomi ng i n favour of Mr. Bright's assumptions. Parliament, how ever, decided the other way, with reason too, for Mr. Burns has unhappily furnished in person a fatal refuta tion of his own evidence. By the latest intelligence from these quarters we learn that this unfortunate gentlemen has been barbarously murdered by pirates in his own ship, and on the very waters which he strenu ously persisted in believing free from piracy. The Dolphin, a vessel of which Mr. Burns was supercargo, had been trading in Maludu Bay, a gulf situated at the north eastern angle of Borneo, some leagues above Labuan, the seat of Raja Brooke's government. As she was pre paring to leave she was hailed by two prahus offering goods for sale, and she accordingly dropped her anchor again till the next morning. Pursuant to their intima tion the natives came on deck and produced their com modities, which Mr: Burns proceeded to examine. While he was s engaged the chief of the prahus suddenly drew a concealed kreese and struck his head from his body. The captain, who was pacing the quarter-deck, received at the same time a blow in the cheek, which wounded but did not disable him. Ho scrambled to the bowsprit and begged hard for life, but the crew of the prahu under the vessel's bows drove their spears through his back, and he fell dead into the water. The pirates—for so, with out offence, we may surely now term them—after butchering four more of the ship's crew, including a woman, carried off their prize and anchored off Beng gaya in Labook Bay, not far distant. As it happened, however, they were disappointed in the selection of their anchorage ; for the sheriff or chief of Benggaya, Yassin by name, on recognising Mr. Burns' schooner, took pos session of her and carried her up the river. Shortly afterwards the lion. Company's steamer Pluto, on a cruise after pirates, called in at Maludu Bay, and, on hearing the intelligence, departed at once for Benggaya, where she received the Dolphin from the hands of Sheriff Yassin, with her decks still dyed with blood. That Mr. Burns' incredulity was sincere there can be no question, for though he had been repeatedly warned of the danger he persisted in his voyage, without even the precaution of getting up the ship's arms from the hold, where they were stowed; but this temerity is the more remarkable from the vividness of the apprehensions displayed by one whose means of information were at least equal to those of an English trader. Sheriff Yassin earnestly be sought the commander of the Pluto to furnish him with protection against the return of the pirates, who, as they had plainly threatened, would, he said, most certainly reappear with a powerful force and avenge themselves for the loss of their prize. Neither was there any doubt about the race or country of these sanguinary marauders. They were Borneans, from a district well known and within easy reach, and the Pluto, in fact, was actually in quest of some such prey when she received the intelligence which dispatched her to Benggaya. We trust this melancholy catastrophe may at least produce the good effect of making certain Manchester politicians a little more cautious in denying facts which happen to conflict with their favourite theories. The whole outcry against Sir James Brooke was suggested, we really believe, by no motive more direct than a general feeling of annoyance at the practical employment of instruments of war. It had been ruled as sinful, and what was worse, as expen sive, to kill one's kind, and the information that men existed of such a character as irresistibly to provoke the use of sword and cannon was highly disagreeable to the advocates of human perfectibility. We see no other way of accounting for the obstinacy of their anger. All the probabilities were incontestably against them. The coasts, not only of Borneo, but of other islands in this Archipelago, bad been the reputed haunts of pirates from time immemorial. We had entered into formal engagements for their sup pression with the other European Powers having pos session in these seas, and bad established a combination of cruisers not unlike that of French and English on the coast of Africa. When Mr. Brook first sailed for Borneo with the good wishes and auspices of all the philanthro pists and economist in the kingdom, he stated over and over again that the one great obstacle to civilization in these'parts was piracy, and that to extirpate piracy must be the very be-all and end-all of his mission. Yet no sooner is -information received of his destroying a pi ratical fleet than a terrible outcry is commenced, and all the resources of ingenuity and special pleading are ex erted to make it appear that the particular savages in the particular boats overtaken by the British Governor were not at all at that particular moment engaged in such acts of piracy, legally definable, as would justity summary execution. No one denied that they were bar barians whose daily habits were those of bloodshed and pillage. No one attempted to specify what might be the nature, if not piratical, of the expedition on which they were surprised. It was even proved that the fellows of these very men had been tried and convicted as pirates in a court of law; but all would not do. Mr. Bright and Mr. Hume tenaciously argued that there was no warrant for the execution, and by way of adding strength to their case they boldly called in question the main facts of the case against them, alleging not only that the Sarebbas were not pirates, but that it remained to be proved wheth er p i racy on the coast of Borneo had any existence at all. They can have little doubt about the matter now. It is a dangerous practice to distort all manifest probabilities to the purposes of a momentary agitation, and yet the case of the Bornean pirates is but one, unfortunately, out of several in which these " tactics" have been tried. Because it was very natur ally desired to reduce the estimates, t it was resolutely maintained that there was no danger of war, and to show that there was no danger of war it was argued that the appeal to arms would never again be sounded in civilized States. Messrs. Hume and his friends would admit no evidence however incontestable, which went to prove that soldiers might be wanted, just as they would admit no evidence, in behalf of Sir James Brooke, which went to show that cannon might be warrantably discharged. In on© case they stand convicted, in the other we trust they may be satisfied with something short of actual experiment, and of this improvement we think we see some signs. -,..

Ourpre sent regular military and naval force is ample, if pro perly disposed and thoroughly reformed. And if this ho done, enough will have been accomplished. Unless, indeed, any real danger should arise, and then Englishmen will be ready enough again as they ever • have been ready—to risk wealth and life in the righteous cause of national defence. If our ships, especially steam ships, of war were brought from foreign stations—such as the Tagus, where they are useless—and were kept in ports along the coast, or cruising in tho channel, we should have little need of more force for our protection than the urgency of any impending danger would instantly secure. England must be made safe from invasion, but do not let design ing and interested men, under a false plea, make our military system simply more cumbrous and more costly when the pretend only to be making it more efficient. The exaggerated fears of invasion, and the still more exaggerated ideas of the precautions necessary for meeting these anticipated invasions, have ever hitherto ended by turning the whole question into ridicule. One class of alarmists have talked of enormous armies, at some with whole parks of artillery, making a descent c omfortable watering place, an d after a pleasant march through Kent, taking up their ' summer quarters in Lon don. These ideas and fears have arisen doubtless from the fact that this matter has been more than once can vassed by our neighbours on the other side of the chan nel, and though it might be thought that Napoleon's failure would have taught them a lesson not hastily to he forgotten, yet Bo na p arte and Boulo g ne ar e over IL is but the o ther day that a p am p hl et on the - subject was publishe d b y a Captain an Sellon, of the i E ng ineers, in which h e quietly invades Ewslnd with some handred thousa nd men and five hundred gu ns , and of course drives th e unfortunate nati ves into Channel.

Os.; A the , LITICAL e take the foi igfrom a morning contemporary Sir,—A very general wish is expressed to see the :nisterial party placed on a broader basis. But in order to know how this can be accomplished, or whether it is possible, it will be necessary to form more accurate conceptions of the nature and relative strength of the various parties or connexions into which Parliament is divided. The Ministerial party proper is oalled the Whi g party; but the word " Whig" has at different times had many different shades of meaning. The Whigs proper of the present day are, perhaps, pretty fairly represented by Lord John Russell, Lord Lanadowne, and Earl Grey. There are, however, material points of difference be tween the last named and the other two lords; and in the ranks of their party are to be found many whose con nexion with the Whigs dates no further back than the disruption of the Tory party at the time of Mr. Can ain g's accession to office. The Reform Bill Ministry, as it is called, embraced these elements:-1. Earl Grey and his personal re tainers who had stood aloof from the alliance with Mr. Canning. This section represented the purely English Whig 3 who r ema i ne d t rue to t h e i r pr i nc i p l es w h en B ur k e , the Portland family, and others, went over to Pitt about the beginning of the first French revolution. 2. The Lansdowne, Rue.sell. and Brougham Whigs, who coalesced with Canning, were of the Edinburgh Review , school of politicians ; the Scotch education of tee leaders here named had imbued them with political views and sentiments somewhat dircroat from those entertained by the Greys C Th aaodnrinegisergwaidhieuoa:r,iiiimywk like been were; evnae!riaatni; reverting tm l o e subdivided sspractical. ia t o two 3.

At the outset the largest share of official experiences was possessed by Lord Palmerston and the other Can-4 ti b o u n t had, i ningites. The Russell and Lansdowne s picked up a little of this kind of knowled ge, Grey section was very deficient in t. In general, how - ever, the leaders were well versed in the tactics of Par - liamentary debate, for which some of them—Lord John a Russell, for example, and Lord Stanley—possesse d great natural and acquired aptitude. The first election under the Reform Act gave this party an enormous majority in Parliament; but the com position of this majority was rather heterogeneous. The skilful selection of boroughs to be retained under the now system, and the equally skilful settlement of the boundaries of these boroughs, enabled Ministers to bring into Parliament a pretty numerous phalanx of personal retainers. But along with these were the O'Connellites from Ireland, and the independent Liberals from England and Scotland. The Irish phalanx, ser vilely submissive to O'Connell, had views and aims en tirely their own. The independent Liberals were com posed in the main of a small connexion of highly educated men. who had adopted more or less the prin ciples of the Westminster Review, and of a more nume rous body of representatives from the manufactairing districts, sturdy and vigorous, but with infinitely more zeal than knowledge. Ministers and their personal retainers had little sym pathy with any of those new-comers. The Whigs bad always been aristocratic and exclusive; and the Can ningites retained many of their Tory predilections. Irish politics were the first apple of dissension. Minis ters and their personal retainers resolved to abide by the old Tory mode of treating Ireland. Against this the Irish party naturally revolted. Of the English Inde pendent Liberals, some threw themselves without re serve into the Irish scale; others attempted to mediate, and bring back Ministers to more liberal views. The result was the secession of Lord Stanley and Sir James Graham, with a few followers, almost all Whigs. It was some time before the residuaries coalesced; even when they did renew their alliance, it was with distrust and discord. Lord Brougham had, by the vivacity of his nature, been carried further th an any o f his colleagues into the advocacy of a semi-tory policy. On the other hand, Lord Durham, from his dissenting education, had more sympathy than most Whigs with the English indepen dent Liberals. The dissensions which hence arose were increased by personal incompatibilities between Lord Brougham and the Greys, with whom Lord Dur ham was so intimately allied. The Russell and Lans downe section leaned to Lord Brougham, but his imperious temper compelled them to abandon him, and he was, like a Jonah, thrown overboard. The Lichfield House compact was the result. Be. tween Ministers and the O'Connellites it led to little more than an armed neutrality, with occasional co operation. The alliance with the independent Liberals was drawn more close. Some of them were admitted into subordinate offices. These had no power, however, of deciding the course which Ministers were to pursue; their compliances soon made them lose caste with the independent Liberals; and, like all men in such a posi tion, they became the most manageable of Ministerialists. The discord between Lord Durham and the Premier kept alive the ill-concealed hostility of the Grey section towards the Russell and Lansdowne party and the Can ningites ; the tamed independent liberals associated themselves with this latter—the more conservative por tion of the Ministerial party. The internal dissensions of the Melbournites, the Grey retainers, and the O'Conaellites weakened and paralysed the Ministerial majority. Meanwhile Sir Robtrt Peel was indefatigably reconstructing a party which he called conservative. The members of his party were largely augmented by timid and vacillating politicians, who had been carried away by the con tagious enthusiasm of the Reform Bill era, but now relapsed into conservatism. This reduced the num- bers of the majority, previously weakened by intestine dissensions. The anti corn-law agitation brought a new element of dissension into the rails of the majority. The " edu cated Radicals" and most of the Members from the ma nufacturing districts favour©d the anti corn-law move ment; Grey and Russell, Whigs and Canningites, for the most part opposed it. The di strust enterta i ne d of the party by the independent Liberals of Scotland and England, their apathy towards it, was thus increased. The Ministerial party became daily weaker, and at last Sir Robert Peel was enabled to take office. The com mercial policy he adopted, though it broke up his own party, increased and continued the dissensions in the Liberal ranks. Many of the independent Liberals con tracted a habit of regarding the Whigs and Peelites as differing in no essential points from each other. Th e Ministerial party proper shrunk into :the combination of Grey and Russell Whigs and Canningites, diminished in number by the first secession under Lord Stanley and Sir James Graham; the second of those vascillating politi cians who fell off and joined Sir Robert Peel when forming the Conservative party; and the third umndienrisLteorridaiGpeaorrtgve, Bentinck. the e e the lHousea s last s u e r f v ivin - numerous in Commons, was a m i nor ity of the whole house.

Whether men who can Or will coalesce with Ministers are to be found among the other parties into which Parliament is divided, can only be made apparent from subjecting these parties to the same analytical scrutiny which has here been devoted to the Ministerialists.
