LONDON, SATURDAY, MAR. 31.
ARE we on the eve of a coalition ? Can the whip
pon wi•hout reinforcement P Can the Junior dus-
United Service Club, over which Mr. GLADSTONE and
Lord LINCOLN preside, hold out mach longer ? If the
Siemer could keep all the perquisites and power of
•t he empire to themselves for another year, every in-
stinct of family and friendship would of course bid
them do so. And if the latter could be content with
eke enjoyment of high reputation for official aptitude,
sad mutant opportunities for the display of their ca-
pacity for making mischief, they might remain in
their present extremely amusing position, and conti-
nue to hold the vibrating balance between Mr. Ms-
ItaELI and Mr. HAWES—keeping both in a horribly
directing state of tantalisation.-
But life is short, and another elution is well nigh
half gone. Things grow critical with the whip.
There is more than one tempest in the wind ; and
the old pilots of the family say that " it will come on
to blow" stiffly after Easter. How many Jonahs
could be flung overboard ? Let us see. Providence
fa always kind, tad will probably vouchsafe to grant
us a few of these bereavements which chuckling party
invariably deplores as " irreparable losses."
A venerable peer, whose expectant son now stops
the way in one department, is known to be in a very
declining way. The Secretary of the Admiralty has
actually accepted the high oommiseionership of the
lonian Lien The governorship of Malta has made
roam for one die inguished and disgusted bi.hmen,
and may afford ere long a place of refuge for the
political chagrin of soothes.
The presidency of the Poor-law Commission in the
sister kingdom furnishes a fourth prize in the lottery.
The sham headship of such departments as the Woods
snfd Neat§ and the Mint suggests the prudence of
=gal changes, real or make believe, is these
of public un-employment. And thus be-
hose the affected:d.aire for retrenchment and the
sincere aniety for re-rigging the ship before the
storm sets in, there can be little doubt that during the
holidays renewed efforts will be made to strengthen
the active farce of the official crew.
Room may thus be made fur four or five of " the
booonrab'e gentlemen opposite." When Sir JAMBE
GRAHAM declined the Admiralty, in January last, it
was said, we believe not erroneously, that he found
there were then only two inside places vacant, and that
the outside seats were all full. We can imagine the
astute baronet asking, with one of his peculiar smiles,
whore he was to put his baggage ?—and, there
being no satisfactory answer to give at the
moment, how he looked as he walked away.
But the abortive negotiation of January suf-
ficed to show bow matters might be managed another
time. Nine weeks have ward; sines then. What
accident has not dons in the interval, arrangement
may. With three secretaryship. (not of the cabinet)
and a couple of chief commissionershipi in band, it
can hardly be difficult to come to terms. Two or
three ministerial portfolios can always be slipped
quietly out of imbecile hands. What is the peerage
for, if not to help to ease the ship when in danger
Mr. CARDWELL no doubt would like very well
to be Secretary to the Admiralty, and Mr.
SIDNEY Hganzar might condeseend to accept
the chief secretaryship of Ireland, wi'h a cabinet seat.
Why should Sir Jon. YOUNG refuse the pest which
ha. bmn suddenly vacated by Mr. TWISLETON Or
why should Lord LINCOLN and Sir JAME! GRAHAM
decline the Privy Seal and the Board of Control?
Such an infusion of toryism into the administra-
tion would, in certain respects, be highly desirable. In
the first place, it would leave the world of opposition
free for BENJAMIN to bustle in. We should
so longer be scandalised by returning glances of
affection, and delicate attempts at reconciliation be-
tween the rival sections of the conservatives—ending
suddenly in fresh outbursts of reproach and objurga-
tion. la the next place it would terminate all occa-
sion fur distrust or misgiving between the whip and
those who upon the same side of the house have
hitherto supported them. All pretence of unity between
elements eseentially:distioct would then be at an end.
To the earnest Mends of progress there could scarcely
be conceived any greater relief. The claims of party
being renounced by those in high places, the obliga-
tions would of coarse cease wholly and determine on
'the part of those, who have heretofore yielded a doubt.
feel and doubting support. Lastly, let it be con-
fessed frankly, that the execu'ive would gain in
efficiency and respectability. We should have Imo
of semblance and more of real power. Between
whip with tory inclinations, and tories with
whiggish leanings, what interest have we? So long
es the people of these realms choose to
keep an aristocracy to govern them, we are decidedly
in favour of having the best of the kind in point of
talent that an be had. What amount of mischief
'they may do, or what amount of good they may be
forced to concede, depends not on them, but an us.
If we think fit to suffer them to conduct affairs
as they will, our best security against their
bungling lies in the combination of the ablest admi-
nistrators of all sections of the oligarchy. And
if we con'emplate any expression of popular determi-
nation that certain changes, whether fiscal or organic,
shall be made, our best chance of 'rely securing
what we desire is, to have in a position of responsibi-
lity men endowed by nature with quink apprehen-
sion, or taught by long and careful training in the
School for Squeezable. to understand the great advan-
tage that personally accrues to those who can affect
to yield willingly, and who know how to yield in time.

WE have something more to say to Mr. NEWDZ-
GATE. The protectionist party, of which he is the
organ, must not be indulged with any escape from the
species of argument to which, very unwisely for
themselves, they have appealed with so much app-
rent boldness. We are quite ready to meet them in
the region of statistics. We stand in no terror of the
Custom-house returns, and we shall be most happy to
support any motion for papers and figures mare sin-1
borate than these already accessible.
What is the great argument of Mr. NEWDEGATE,
and of those who believe in the exploded figments of
a balance of trade and an interminable dram of bul-
lion, revived by his recent pamphlet ? " Ah," my
they, " it is nothing to the purpose to tell us about
the exceptional circumstances of 1847 and the troubles
of 1848. There is the fact;—the exports have fallen
off most prodigiously in both years, and the imports
have increased, purely because foreign countries would
not buy your rode, and because they forced their
own commodities upon this country through the me•
dium of oar new tarifL That is the whole truth. You
sold less and were forced to buy more : and as to the
disturbances of 1848, we are quite certain that they
did the manufacturers more good than harm, because
they led to the sale of articles which Frenchmen and
Germans in the midst of a civil war could not make
for themselves. There is, therefore," conclude these
great authorities, "only one result. Free trade has
done all the mischief."

Let no man think that this is a gratuitous version
of Mr. NEADECIATB9B side of the question. Here is
his pamphlet : " I have heard it said and I have seen
it written that the boobies of the continent last year
had a powerful effect in caught? and prolonging the
depression of our trade. I believe they had an oppo-
site and powerful effect. Nor do I believe that they
hare prolonged our dijieulties."—p. 24. That is the
mention ; let us see what it is worth.
We are not going to compare 1848 with 1847.
The two years had scarcely a sines feature in com-
mon, excrpt the unhappy prevalence in both of a
state of extreme distress. The occurrence of a famine
more erensive and fatal than any period of dearth
since 1809; and the concurrent and alarming scarcity
of newly all descriptions of the raw material of
manufactured; the suspension of important portions of

We purchased our corn, therefore, in 1847, and in
the teeth of a competition which included every go-
vernment in western and central Europe, by selling
three times the usual quantity of calico, 50 par cent.
more linen, and twice the quantity of woollens. We
had no difficulty in the proms. No for.igner rose
up to save the ancient prediction of " cora only in
exchange for bullion" from hopeless refutation.
Let us now see what are the facts when we com-
pare 1846 and 1848 es to the general results of our
export trade. The allegation against which we con-
tend must always be borne in mind; we are ac-
cused of selling fewer goods universally, not only to
countries at war but to countries at peace, and we are
accused of fostering the rival industry of other nations
while we ere impoverishing our own. We beg
to say distinctly that neither clause of the
accusation is consistent with the facts of the cue. We
will put the argument in its plainest form. We will
select all the important branches of our manufacturing
industry, and we will trace them ono by one in their
connexion during 1846 and 1848 with those parts of
the norld which have been undisturbed by war or by
violent political commotions, and with those other
parts of the world which have preserved a compara-
tive tranquillity.
First co; all, then, with reference to the woollen, and
wonted, and linen trades. Is it true, or is it false,
that Leeds, and Bradford, and Ckekheaton, and
Somerettshire, and Belfast,eodDundee,and Barnsley,
bays sold fewer goods in 1848 than in 1846 to coun-
tries at peace, and more goods in 1848 than in 1846
to couctries at war I' That is a straightforward
question at all event,. If these places have sold
more goods in 1848 than in 1846 to cauntries at peace,
then there will be an end to one portion at least, of
the case of the protectionists ; and if, further, these
places have sold/inter goods in 1848 than in 1846 to
countries at war, we take it there will be an equally
inevitable destruction of another portion of their case.
Here, then, are the official returns of the exports of
the
.principal kinds of woollen, worsted, and linen
fabrics in the two years in qucetion to countries at
