LONDON, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 27.

In a Parliament summoned by a Protectionist
Cabinet Free Trade his passed the ordeal. Last
night the discussion on our Commercial Policy was
concluded by a division, in which the numbers stood
as follows :

Free Trade
Protection
This was the division on the main question—and
53 must henceforth be taken to represent the strength
of that remnant of thu landlord force who refuse to be
marched through Coventry by Mr. DISRAELI. 00
Mr. Vatteas'e motion the numbers were—Ayes,
256; Noes, 336. The motion on the main question
vu that proposed by Lord PALMERSTON, from the
original draft prepared by Sir JAMES GRAHAM.
We have thus a majority of 415 against the principles
of the Government, and fur thu principle of Free
Trade.

Mosrorour discomfited, but undismayed, in 1816,
has ever since maintained a species of guerilla
warfare, seldom venturing to contest any of the main
points or leading positions of the field, but preferring
rather the furtive ambush or the dexterous surprise,
and contenting its insurgent followers with splendid
promises of eventual victory and compensatory
plunder to oome, at the end of the campaign. But
be oft-deferred period of performance has at length
arrived, and to the utter perplexity and dis-
appointment of the expectant host, their
leader prepared for his final onset by sur-
rendering his party flag. Yes, it is true, rand
cannot be concealed from the rank and file by any
jesuitry or jugglery of their officers, that the broad
banner of Protection has been lowered at the pe-
remptory summons of the Free Traders. In the
course of the desperate straggle it does not always
happen that the leader of the storming party cap-
tures the fallen standard with his own hand; and
there is a certain longing after vain shadows and
semblance, which renders the vanquished eager to
=he their final submission to some one whom they
believe to hold the highest rank among their
victors. 1 hue, Mr. DISRAELI passionately protests
against capitulating to Mr. VILLIERS at the very
moment when he tenders the handle of his party
sword to another hand—a curious instance of
the poetic justice that even in our prosaic age some-
times overtakes the ungenerous and unjust. Had the
merciless mutineers of 1846 been compelled to strike
their Protectionist colours at the summons of Mr.
Vittteas, all real friend' of Free Trade would have
rejoiced as though the triumph had been each his
own. But to the memory of the illustrious victim of
baffled Monopoly the atonement might possibly have
seemed incomplete if the final conditions of surren-
der had not been publicly dictated by the surviving
lieutenant of PEEL. Before the resolution of Sir
JAMES GRAHAM—enunciated by Lord PALMERSTON,
—Mr. DISRAELI has bowed his ministerial head.
In this we see the triumph of truth and justice
over a sordid and insane fanaticism on the part of
the led, of wisdom and sincerity over rashness and
shuffling on the part of the leaders. In a Parliament
called by a Protectionist Cabinet, Protection has,
after a few wretched efforts to escape in disguise,
been in the space of fifteen days abjectly abandoned
as no longer defensible. Had NAPOLEON BONA-
PARTE been surprised and overthrown unexpectedly
at a distance from his capital, the vindication of long
plundered Europe would have been less exemplary
and striking. But it was destined that the mar-
vellous system of oppression and imposture of
which he was the chief should perish un-
der the walla of Paris, and in the very sight
of those who had profited by his spoliation' and
exulted in his apparently impregnable domination.
Even so has it been with the great domestic usurps,-
tioa against which we have had to struggle. It was
from one administration, formed on the principle of
Protection, we, in 1846, won the concession of the
great masers of Free Trade; it is from another
administration, founded on the same basis, that we
have now extorted the reluctant admission of the
principle, in 1832.
We shall not be tempted into any repeated com-
parison of the terms of the various propositions
that have successively been made to show how
much better one would have read in history than
another, as telling concisely and clearly what was
the national will and resolution upon this °maxims.
The public is wearied by too much verbal discussion,
when the thing required to be done is in reality
plain. One half—that which relates to the pat—
hs' at length been secured. The other half—that
which relates to the future—has now been made
safe. Of Protettion—the old system of class robbery'
in the form of rest—we shall hear no more. It
is not only dead but buried—buried ignominiously
and without the decencies of sorrow or even of
silence. It is the new system of clams peculation,
the improved form of Anal poaching, that we are
now concerned to watch and baffle. That this is ready
prepared there can be no longer any doubt. It is in
the slips, and before many Wars the hand of the
adroit huntsman will set it free to run its predatory
comet and show its real character and quality.

satisfied with the new juggle, the people are about
to be fleeced with some newly-invented shears.
Equal relief for all from burdens that all alike
help to bear, would be no compensation to the
mutinous Protectionists for the lam of theirold booty.

play beware. It is a game of fraud
