LONDON, FRIDAY. JULY 9.

IT was said of TAturmans, that if a person had
been kicking him behind, no one looking in his face
could have suspected that he was at the moment
undergoing so disagreeable an infliction. Our Tory
brethren of the press are blessed with equal command
of uountenance. True, out of ono hundred and
thirty-eight members returned, eighty-six are Libe-
rals. and only fifty-two Derbyites; true, more than
one.lial of the Derbvites have secured their elections
be pledging themselves to uphold Free-trade, and
promote various reforms; true, the l)erbyitev, as tar
as the elections have gone, are in a minority, and
that minority even more divided among themselves
than the great Peat party on the eve of its disrup-
tion nevertheless, their Journalists put a good face
ou the matter, and talk as big as if they had achieved
a glsitious victory. As we foretold yesterday, they
exult over MASTERMAN'S heading the poll in London,
and over their victories at Liverpool and Greenwich,
and remind their readers that the county elections
have yet to come on. But their comical
audacity goes far beyond what fancy could
foreshadow for them. On the strength of
their partial successes they affect to believe that the
Del i Ito; have under-estimated their strength ; that
they might have been equally successful in constitu.
encl.. s they have not attempted ; and they begin to
cry out lustily for more Conservative candidates.
• We cannot conclude." says the Standard," without
calling once more for more Conservative candidates.
Where the ground is not yet occupied by a Conser-
vative. let the candidates only offer themselves, and
dee people will do the rest."
)ur contemporary has taken good care not to
raise this cry till it was too late to obtain a
response to it. Its anxiety for more labourers in
the Tory vineyard reminds one of Swipe's verses on
the City Shower
The Templar beau, while every spout's &broach,
:it archway stands, and seems to call a coach.
The penniless tine gentleman could not have been
more annoyed had some passing Jarrie answered his
hail than our respected contemporary would be were
Conservative candidates to flock forward at his call.

Why, there is Westminster. Lord MAIDSTONE'S
friends certainly did not rely upon " the people's
doing the rest when they had brought forward
their candidate. No labour, no expense was spared
to ferret out friendly or assailable electors, and drag
them to the poll. Yet the Liberals beat them, and
Lad upwards of 1,700 votes to throw away upon Mr.
VS 1 'if .11AlleS hopeless attempt. And yet Lord
MAIIAI•TONIi played the part of candidate bravely.
1f is speeches were as fine as the Surrey Zoological
Hardens on a great gala night: they had a deluge
of real water, an eruption of Mount Vesuvius, and
bull-dogs in plenty, if there were no fiercer animals.
Besides, Mr. CrIARLES COCHRANE appears to havd
tramderred to Lord MAIDSTONE the " nods, ane
becks, and wreathed smiles" of the fair patronesses
who at last election lent their countenance to Don
JUAN DE LA VE6A.

Even in Liverpool, about which such a noise is
made, the Tories have only regained what was
wreotcd from them at the last election. In 1847,
Mr. C.tiinwzt.i. (a Peelite), and Sir THOMAS Buten
(a Melbournite), gained the seats which had been
previously occupied by Lord SANDON and Sir
Howsno DoeuLts. The corrupt portion of the
Liverpool constituency have only " returned like the
dog to its vomit." And to make their utter lack of
principle more conspicuous have converted for the
nonce Mr. FORBES MACK vine into an anti-Maynooth
champion. We have more than once reminded our
readers of how recent growth is the anti-Popery
zeal of the Derbyites ; what said their leader in 184/
—Lord IJEORGE BENTINCK—in his letter to his con•
stituents at King's Lynn, lamed as a counter-mani-
festo to that which Sir ROBERT PEEL had indited to
the electors of Tamworth! " He (Lord °Ronne) bad
no conscientious scruple to prevent his acquiescing
in th, rmlotcment of the Roman Catholic priesthood;
ho bow reasons in favour of such a measure."
fhe truth is, that the Derbyites have gained little
hr their few partial successes beyond the gratifica-
tion of their personal vindictiveness. Their isolated
triumphs have been achieved over the ablest men
among the parliamentary Peelites. They have
thrown out Mr. CARDWELL, Lord MattoN, Mr.
RoUNDELL PALMER—we were going to add Mr.
SMYTHE, but that gentleman owes his rejection to
himself ; be would probably have been at this mo-
ment member for Canterbury could he have kept a
civil tongue in his head, and kept his fingers from
hair-triggers. The partial triumphs of the Derbyites
cannot affect the general tone and tendencies of the
new parliament ; cannot add materially to the par-
liamentary strength of the faction ; can only enable
them to indulge the rancour of despair at the ex-
pense of old friends become enemies.
Even this miserable gratification they have not
always been indulged in. The men against whom
their anger burns most fiercely, after the Pinatas,
are the Manchester politicians. Hence the eel est
made against Messrs. MILNER OtasoN aad
There is a wire admission respecting the Ibmsheaks
.uutest, in a Tory journal of yesterday sesselesi hr
which Mr. Loot and Captain Dr.smsit mot
thank the party to which they have lent themselves.
Elan should Manchester," sap the Meru*
Herald, " or Norwich, or Westmuistw, not Five -us
the triumphs we expect." Mr. Lora and Captain
DeusiAN are here recognised as the champions (or
tools) of the faction, exactly on the same footing with
Lord MAIDSTONE.

Tue vast quantity of gold accumulating in the
Bank of England, by the last returns 22,012,6834
sad the continual arrival of bullion from Australia
and the United States, have lately attended much
attention. Mao is a little error, however, in the
too forward statement of some of our contemporaries
that the bullion in the Bank for the first time in its
history wads its circulation. The bullion is larger
111.18110 SM than the bank-notes by themselves, but it
falls short of the notes and the seven day and other
Mlle together, which constitute the floating liabilities
of the Bank, or its circulation, in the hands of the
public The approzinsation, however, to the pongee-
s:on by the Bank of bullion sufficient to redeem all
its notes, is au event in its history well worthy of
being noted and recorded.
Two great subjects are opened to us by these facts
—the condition of the Bank and the effects of the
inerea,te of bullion on lie money of the world.
Either of them is more than sufficient for a news-
paper article. The latter subject, too, is not yet ripe
for discumion. We require to know not only the quan-
tity of the pen:ions metals produced, but the extent—
and whether increasing or decreasing—of the de-
mand for them. It will take time to gather together
all the elements for a correct appreciation of this
groat phenomenon, and postponing all considerations
ot'it fur the present, we shall confine ourselves to
making a few remarks on the condition of the
Bank. The Gasette accounts published last week
were as follows :
