THE DIVISION ON 1141 WIDGET,
The Herald dots not contain any comment on the
division. •
'flat Asst says that Mr. Gladstone's speech of last
hight was never surpassed in the history of Parliament.
' The parliamentary debate, last night, occupies the
Unprecedented space of twenty-nine and a half columns
of the Times.
The Times remarks that the majority against Mr. Du
Cane's motion is just what might be expected, from the
remarkable fact that not one of its supporters, howcver
ingenious or eloquent, has produced one real objection,
to the treaty with France, and the financial Meastnes of
Government:
The Dail!? 'Netts says the battle iii which ancient
jealousies and exploded errors have been invoked in
vain, protection may tio* go back to its holes and take
the spirit of War with it, for through the House Corn-
Mons the cohattp has declared for peace and free-trade.
The majority is triumphant. This majority will resound
th k-04. 11olit Europe, and its fruits will be blessed by our
thildren's children.
The Post says the verdict of the country on the bud-
get of the Government has now been adopted and
affirmed by the decision of the House of Commons. By
this division the house has pledged itself to good policy
towards England and good faith towards France. No
eloquence could. be so effective as the recapitulation of
the facts. The second attack on the Government in one
Week has been defeated by nearly double the number
that fixed the fate of Mr. Disraeli's first attempt on
Tuesday last. Such a result will give immense effect
throughout Europe.

The aggregate railway traffic return of the United
Ringdom, for the week. ending February 18th, shows
an increase of £27,963 over the same week last year.

47,800 votes; and Mr. Waddington and his friends by
£760,000 stock, and 16,300 votes.
