LONDON, NONDAT, MARCH U.

r is not surpriaing that Lai PaLIIZISTON's
speech of Friday list should have produced very dif-
ferent impressions on those who herd it, and canoed
very different ferlinp while Roswell. of Parliament

ST CWLEI sad others, who had been put up daring
the earlier part of the debate to declare that the
prineiple of uniformity was held essential to the
Hill, and that they would retard Lord 'OMNI Rua.
ot:LL'4 Resolution as • vote of censure, adesied to
feel, perhaps really felt, Lord Psuseanron'e pro-
phecy, that they would accept the amendment sad
modify their measure accordingly, uan insult. Bad
they not pledged themselves to do the vety cmtrary,
and were they now to sit by motionless and mute,
while the jaunty Viscount scoffingly prognostioated
that they were about to eat their words It was
more than they could bear; and to do them justice
they made no iC,rt to bear it. For no sooner had
the noble lord at down than the readiest and rashest
saPlreur in their camp was launched against the
enemy, and audibly told not to return without spik-
ieg the Tiverton gun, whose tire they had felt to be
OD galling.

Could he have anticipated at starting what would
be thought of hie performance by the more sagacious
of big colleagues, or had he given himself time to
look round at the inscrutable expression of face
silently worn by Mr. bin %ELI until it was over, he
would not perhaps have ventured so far upon a
thanking errand. The significant speech of the
tIECRETIRT to the TREA.CRT in precisely the oppo-
site sense a few hours before ought to have warned
him that there might be a great many things in the
political "heaven and earth not dreamt of is his
" philosophy." Tha astute and wary Member for
Stamford is not a man to open the fourth
night of a critical debate by suggesting
modification and change on the part of the
Government, without having very precise and dis-
tinct instroctions to do so. Instructions, of courser
he had ; and when it is borne in mind that the effect
of what he threw out was to remove the only objec-
tions which Messrs. WairoLE and Hatirtv, and
others of still greater mark, were known to feel
against the second reading of the Bill, Mr. WHITS.
t.n might well have paused ere he made himself
the mouthpiece of an obstinate minority of the Ad-
ministration. Did it never occur to him that the
loud cracks of the Tiverton whip and uncomplimen-
tary comments accompanying it, might, after all, be
for the good of his 'arty—nay, more, might be ac-
tually meant to be so ? No doubt there was much
in the scoffing toned the noble Viscount that a thin-
skinned rhetorician would find it hard to endure
without wincing. But thaw who have only read Lord
PALMERSTON'S speech will marvel more at the indir
cretion it provoked onthe part of the honourable and
learned gentleman than at the general cheering with
which it is reported to have been received by dif-
ferent sections of the House. Thom who, on the
Liberal side, sit below the gangway, could not, of
course, be expected to join in that applause t and
the members of the Cabinet—who sine' Tuesday last
have abstained from taking any part in the debate
—were significantly silent during the noble lord's

To-night we presume, however, some more fitting
notice witl be taken, one way or other, of a speech
which must inevitably tend more than any
other which has yet been delivered to decide
the fate of the present struggle. Either Lord
l'Austit.rort was in earnest, or be spoke in ins',
when he proclaimed that Lord lour Ressetes Re-
solution was not meant as a vote of censors, and de-
clared that Ministers might with personal broom
and public advantage accept it as a dined= sod p
on with their Bill. If he was serious, It is high
time, fur the sake of the great gantlets at issue,
that the matter should be cleared up. This
might be done at once by a proposal to leave oat
the two or three words of the Resolution which
seem to justify lord 81Attutfe and Mr. WHlTS-
sit,e'4 complaint of its party immplezion. Up to the
present tie no explanaties hes been given of its
drift sad intention at verbless in terms with that as-
signed by Loud Pituaanort, again and again
have we deployed that it eloonid be so;
not, certainly, because we wished to ON an Wawa-
sive meaning imparted to it, bet basause wo
desired for it a substantial and sciesprobsn-
sive aim, such as the public at lane weald
lave recognised and responded to, Our thoughts
were flied upon memeres rather than Igoe mot
and we &eked not for that which would have
been move piqsant in the Roam, but for something
which world have been 0r.., satisfactory to the
country. Expostulation km, however, been hitherto
in 'Ma ; and Lord Pacuanrrox finishes up the week
by Nokia, • speak, the ability of which everybody
acknowledges, and the precise drift of which no two
people oet of deers en agreed upon. Tired of a
wrangle which seems to bring them no BMW to
anything which the country wants, roes bogie to
look on with growing indiffennee to the
party aspect of the whole affair. They do
sot ansterstand how far certain Opposition Aids
are pretrired to go in the practical interprotaticm of
Lord lout's declaratory Itemplutieu. They lad

longer safe, it is no longer honest, to allow any

And if the tone of badinave sod taunt by r,hich
' Lord PAuteesrox so much annoyed cert-tin of his
opponents, be truly teken to indicate the contempt
which it is rid that he meant to express of their
actual position and elastic intentions, then by all
means let as have it oat. Let some one
who can really speak authoritatively on the part
of the Government, say whether they will at the
eleventh hour give up theirimpreeticable project of en
uniform franchise, for that is now the mein point in
dispute. If this they cannot do, then let them
declare once and for all what course they mean to
take. Lord PALIMISTON'S arguments sgainst re-
signing or dissolving cannot of course be teken by
anyone for more than pleasant chaff. The notion of
any set amen "taking the government with Ho
" engagement'," is • very good joke, but it 's
nothing more. What the noble lord is reported
to have said about the House compelling Lord
Deter to go on in spits of himself with a Hill he
disapproved or a Parliament he had not called and
could not lead, because if it did not want to be die-
'cirri it might stop the supplies, is obviously
no more than grave quizzing. It would be a libel
on so conservative a statesman as his lordship to
impute to him the unconstitutional and anarchic doe-
trines which the serious rendering of talk of this
Wad would imply.
