LORD DERBY'S COALITION.

Tan brief but not uneventful parliamentary cam-
paign has been closed by an address from the Tory
chief to his followers. Lord DERBY'S speech is in
many respects deserving of attention. It contains
not a few singular admissions, and some rather
questionable efforts at apology. A rare opportunity
was presented to Lord DERBY. He found himself
ten days ago at the head of a party numbering, as he
tells us, 280 votes in the House of Commons, and
which, without previous responsibility of any kind,
had chiefly contributed to win the most complete and
overwhelming victory which the records of Parlia-
ment contain. Had their claim to reap the honours
and rewards of success been denied to the Conserva-
tive opposition, we should have never heard the
end of Lord DERBY'S indignant reproaches.
Although the motion proceeded from Mr. ROEBUCK,
and although the arguments by which It was
sustained were in no degree of • party complexion,
had Lord DERBY not been sent for, the day after it
was carried, the Earl would have told his friends
that they had been over-reached by their rivals, and
cheated by • cabal. Fortunately for all parties
concerned—except, perhaps, for Lord DEBBY himself
—the QUEEN, acting on the constitutional principles
that have always guided her, summoned the noble
lord to her presence. What passed weknow not, further
than he has himself disclosed; but we may imagine,
without presumptuous intrusion, the thoughts and
considerations that are likely to have been uppermost
in her MAJESTY'S mind. She saw before her a man
who had always professed the deepest sincerity
of political convictions, and the most unreserved
and almost reckless earnestness in the advocacy of
his principles; • man who, having been the
spoiled child of the party to whom he hereditarily
belonged, had quitted them with reviling', and
rushed into the opposite camp, where he soon
eclipsed by his violence the zeal of traditional
Toryism ; a man for whom PEEL and LYNDHURST,
WELLINGTON and ABERDEEN,Yiere not Conservative
enough, and who, rather than compromise con-
sistency with them, erected the standard of revolt,
and left them almost without a parliamentary fol-
lowing. All this her MAJESTY could not have failed
to remember; nor could she have forgotten that when
eventually called upon, some three years ago, to
guide the affairs of the State, Lord DEBBY boasted
that, though taken unawares, he was not a man
to shrink from the task of carrying out his
own principles, and vindicating in practice the
superiority of those views of policy which
he and his friends possessed. After a few
months, however, Lord DERBY'S experiment in
governing had been cut short, by the fatality which
compelled him to adhere to the shadow of protection
when the substance had perished; and the QUEEN
could hardly have forgotten bow often it had since
been reiterated that. but for that one unlucky chance,
the Tories might have still held power. Without
reserve, and without condition, her MAJESTY appears
to .have called upon Lord DEBBY to resume the ex-
periment which had been stopped, in December, 18.52,
by the Coalition. The Coalition had since had their
trial, and had failed. By a majority of 305 they bad
driven him from power; and by a majority of 305
they had in turn themselves been ousted. But the
difference between the two &dada was measurable,
