No wonder Lord JOHN Realism. has thought it
necessary to publish his correspondence with Lord
GRIT. No wonder if after the publication of that
correspondence Lord Gast thinks it unneessosry
to make any statement thereupon in the House of
Lords. Lord GRST, as it appears from the monu-
mental pages of " Hansard," was at least • con-
senting Reformer in 1852, when Lord OMIT was
also a Minister of State. The same noble Earl
is something more than a silent anti-Reformer in
1860. Eight years may have mrde him a sadder
and a wiser man, but " Hansard " survives all
changes of opinion, whether of Ministers or of
malcontent., and to that mute perennial witness
Lord Joss RUSSELL, with a painful singleness of
purpose, appeal/. Some weeks ago Lord Gm
was explaining at length to his hereditary brethren
the reasons which had induced him to acquiesce in
the Reform Bill of 1852, and he then declared
that "the original difficulty " from which •11
Reform Bills, present and to come, had sprung, w•e
the gratuitous and unauthorised avowal by Lord J.
Arnett, as head of the Cabinet in 1849, that
" the time was come when • change might be
" made in the measure of 1832." According to
Lord GREY, the fellow-minister of Lord JOHN at
the time, this untoward expression of opinion fell
from the lips of the FIRST Mt:emelt without
the privity or consent of his colleagues, and with
Lord G•EY'a express disapproval. Lord GREY, as
Colonial Minister, had, it is true, consented, with
extreme reluctance, to remain • member of an

thus pledged to a policy which he
condemned. But why 1 Because the Cabinet
was "on the eve of falling." We are honestly
anxious to do justice to this characteristic
stroke of chivalry. If the days of Reform are
over for our hereditary Whigs, let us at all events
have the satisfaction of showing that the days of
chivalry are not dead for them. No ; though
Lord JOHN had with that intrepidity which glories
in danger nailed the colours of Reform to
the mast, Lord Carr, though only a pri-
soner on parole, and owing nothing but a forced
allegiance to her flag, determined to stick to
the sinking ship, and to desert the flag only
in the event of living to do so. He acquiesced
in the introduction of the Bill because he was
persuaded (we use his own words) that it had not
the remotest chance of passing. He took the
pledge because he felt mire it would never be
kept.

Et ettibi pa•snrai nitre fine eat asueele. This is
why Earl GMT opened not his mouth against Re-
form in 1852, but actually consented as a minister
to the introduction of a Bill by the head of the
Cabinet. Not that he was absolutely dumb. This,
of course, the laws of chivalry would not have per-
mitted. On the contrary, as Lord Joaie Rossi/2.x
reminds him, Lord Gam, made, in his ministerial
capacity, a speech on the Address to the Crown,
in February, 1852, apologising very ably and
conclusively for the introduction of the Reform
Bill, and demonstrating exhaustively that its intro-
duction had become a sort of moral necessity.
In that admirable speech Lord Gar( was
not content with expressing fr:ely and distinctly
his own complete and unreserved adhesion to the
Hill, but with prophetic ardour he cut f. ,e ground
from under the feet of any renegade or reactionist
in days to come who might plead the "apathy"
of the people as an excuse for withholding a mea-
sure of political justice. Lord Gasr's words on
this point were valuable when spoken in 1852 ;
in 1860 they are quite inestimable. We never
have understood the precise meaning of the eulogy
so often bestowed by the critics on great dramatic
artists of whose performance there is no-
thing new to say—" he surpassed Moir!)." As-
suredly no other form of words so exactly ex-
presses the difference between the Lord Gm of
1852 and the Lord Gm' of 1860. The progress
backwards, if we may be allowed the phrase, is
immense. Here is the Lord Gave' of eight years
ago. At that date, remember, he was a Minister
01 State ; he is speaking of a Reform Bill intro-
duced by the Head 41 the Cabinet " without any
" previous concert or communication with his
" colleagues," of a Hill which had his own entire
disapproval. Mark how he denounces Lord JOHN
Rosana:a rashness, exposes a hasty inconsiderate
pledge, and deplores an ill-timed and uncalled-for
violation of the settlement of 1832 :

" Now, my lords, let me poiut out the real cir-
" cumstances of the case. Thn,e years ago, if I
remember rightly, varions motions were made in
" the other House of i'arliernent, and obtained in
" that house a considerable degree of support, not
" only from those who voted for these measures,
" but in the expression of an opinion by gentlemen
" of great weight and influence, that experience
" had shown that there were defects in the Reform
" Act which required further legislation. My
" noble friend feeling the force of these remarks
" and of public opinion, and seeing defects in the
" arrangement of the Reform Bill which had

" not answered the expectations of the coup-
" try, thought it right to express his opinion
" that a time might come when it would be
" proper to make some alteration in the
" existing laws relating to
" friend exprttuled that
" manner, and

proofn

" that were given in 1848, by all dames of tke
" population, of loyal attsolinmint to the crown and
"to the existing institutions of the country. My
" noble friend expressed that opinion as far back
"as 1849, and since that time has had to combat
" various proposals made in the other House of
" Parliament for alterations in the Reform- Act.
" But it was my noble friend's opinion that if in
" combating these proposals for hasty and inoon-
" sidemte alterations in the Reform Act he had not
" expressed himself in favour of future improve-
" manta, he would have shaken the foundations of
" that great settlement of our constitutional rights.
" My noble friend therefore said, and I think he
" was right, that he was not averse to well-
" considered amendment. But it was im-
" possible that he could take this line in coin-
" bating those propositions, which he looked upon
" as dangerous, without thereby contracting pledges
" which he considered it his duty to fulfil at a proper
" time. I ask, can there be a better time for re-
" deeming them than the present / is not the eery
" apathy of which the noble earl speaks a sufficient
" reason for calmly approaching the subject, and
" calmly considering what amendments can be intro-
" duced I Would that apathy hare existed if we had
" pronounced the Reforms Bill to be a final measure,
" and if he had said there were no blots in it which
"we would attempt to get rid of I If he had taken
" that line, would there not have been a eery differed
"dimositiou on the part of the people of this country
" with regard to changes in the Reform► Act far less
" temperate than those now about to be proposed l I
" think it is a justification of the line which my
" noble friend has taken, and in which his col-
" Lear KJ joined."
Considering that this unanswerable justifica-
tion of a new Reform Bill is eight years old we
are bound to give Lord Ginty the credit of being
a man (at least eight years) before his time, and
this, perhaps, even more than Lord JOHN Rcs-
6KLL'S pledges, is the " original difficulty" under
which—as a posthumous anti-reformer—he now
labours.

Now what is Lord Gm's latest inter-
pretation of this nescit reverti of eight
years ago! As a confidential hint to a
brother Cabinet Minister it may mean little or
nothing ; as a lifting of the veil which shrouds the
arcane of Cabinets from the vulgar gaze it seems
to us to suggest a curious doctrine of mutual
responsibility. " You know perfectly well," writes
the sometime Secretary of State for the Colonies
to his former Chief, " that it is the duty of a
" member of Government, when its acts are
" attacked in Parliament, to state, as well as
"he can, the reasons by which the Cabinet
"he belongs to has been guided, even though
" sometimes those reasons may not have been
1" conclusive to his own mind. My object
" in that speech was to explain as / understood
" them your notices fur the course you had taken,
" without implying my own concurrence in opi-
" %ions tchish it was notorious to yourself and to
" all our colleagues that I woe far from sharing.
" It appears from the report you have quoted that
" I was betrayed into using some expressions
" going beyond this line, but undoubtedly it was
" not my intention to do so."
"And I think it was right," in the mouth of a
Cabinet Minister, must not be supposed to imply
a concurrence in opinion, but only an ostensible
and involuntary acquiescence. Nay, it means
nothing more than half-a-dozen words which it
was not the intention of the speaker to utter.
Surely Figaro need not complain of a tight-rope
dancer being selected for office when a diplomatist
was wanted.

That Lord GAIT, in his anti-Reform speech of
the 19th ult., referred to Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S
opinions in 1849, not to his speech in 1851, in
terms implying that the author of the present
Reform Bill had pledged without consulting his
colleagues in 1862, is a small matter after Lord
GREY'S distinct admission that Lord Joint
RUSSELL'S speech on Reform in 1851 " was
" made after repeated discussions in the Cabinet
" on the subject." But this illustration of Cabinet
morality would be incomplete without Lord Gamy's
frank admission, that he and some other members
of the Cabinet " held " themselves " quite free for
" the future, but were content to remain in the ad-
" ministration for the present, as therewasso differ-
" eau between us as to the course to be taken by the
" Gorernment." "The course," according to Lord
Garr and " some other members," was to endorse
the Bill on condition that it should be dishonoured
when due.

THE GRAND NATIONAL ENGLISH LOTTERY OF 1860.

formed that two packets of papers, similar to the one at

ees to Mews. Rothschild, whose name was printed at the
bottom of each ticket, it appeared that they knew nothing
whatever of the matter, and were of opinion that it was •
scheme for drawing money from the pockets of the
credulous. The face of the tickets biro the following in-

would have been no objection to its negotiation in the dif-
ferent money markets ; but the government did not deem
it prudent to authorise a system of public subscription by
the instrumentality of the bishops and parochial clergy, as

IALDI'S EXPEDITION
SICILY.
DEPARTURE //26M GIDIOA.
IT.)
GENOA, NAT 6.

tritOM A

Garibaldi and two thousand two hundred volun-
teers embarked last night at 12 p.m. Three
steamers were lying in the offing, to which they
were conveyed in detachments from various points
along a range of four or five miles of coast. The
concentration of any large body on a given spot
was avoided not to bring additional perplexity on
the government, who has shut its eyes to what-
ever Garibaldi has been planning for the last three
weeks, but whose sympathy, of course, can assume
no more tangible form.
The scene at the Foce, near Genoa, witnessed
by your correspondent, was exciting in the extreme.
Notwithstanding the lateness of the hour, and the

semi-reserve with which the movements of the ex-
peditionary force had been invested, nearly 5,000

persons of all ranks flocked to the beach to bid the
gallant adventurers good speed. Genoa gave 900
of her best marksmen from the Societe del Tiro Ns-
zionale ; the rest were from all parts of the peninsula,
as the dialects you heard on every side, in the
medley of cheers and leave-taking, amply testified.
As usual with Garibaldi's volunteers, they were
of every grade and calling—nobles, soldiers, artiste,
physicians, down to peasants and workmen, all
young and vigorous, and perfectly aware that
with such a leader no child's play lies before them.
A few were lads of only fifteen or sixteen. They were
all in plain clothes, but their uniforms, with arms,
ammunition, &c., were already on board ship. They
are to wear the scarlet tunic so identified, in the
Neapolitan's imagination, with Garibaldi's successes
over them in 1849, when the mere sight of one of the
red diavoli used to inspire panic.
The funds for this expedition have been supplied
from the proceeds for the subscription for a million
of muskets set on foot by Garibaldi last autumn.
It is not to land in Sicily,but is intended to effect a
diversion in Calabria. The enthusiasm of the troops
in garrison here has been so roused that it
was necessary to confine them yesterday to their
barracks to prevent their deserting in order to
enrol themselves. This prudential measure has
been made the most of by the authorities here in
reply to the remonstrance of the Neapolitan consuL
More has been done, it is alleged, in opposition
to the departure of the Gariteddisi, than the Aus-
trian government has seen fit to do with regard to
the thousands of volunteers, many of whom were
her soldiers, who for months peat have been pouring
into the Roman States from Trieste, to swell an
army intended for the invasion of a part of the King
of Sardinia's dominions.
Garibaldi has sanguine hopes of cutting out some
one or other of the Neapolitan frigates which are on
the watch for his appearance. This would be but
the repetition of some of his South American
achievements.
Midici, his able lieutenant, is to start in four or
five days with two thousand more volunteers.
Events are thickening. Here it is generally ex-
pected that Lamoriciere will make a descent on
Romagna in a few days.

ALUMINA (vii Nanales), MAT 6.

Tranquillity prevails, but UllolllillollB is produced
by the want of information as to the state of things
at Palermo. The emigration continues. The
greater part of the troops have left Messina. De-
tachments have proceeded to Calabria, but nothing
is known of what takes place in that province. It

was upon the request of the ambassadors that the
state of siege was nominally raised ; in reality, how-
ever, it still continues, as the possessor of any weapon,
even a dagger, is liable to be brought before a court.
martial.

A considerable number of insurgents have disem-
barked at Trapani.
The political aspect in general is very serious.
Foreign aid is expected. Everything appears to
indicate that a fresh rising way be expected.

TURIN, NAY 9.
The journals publish a letter from General Gari-
baldi, in which he says :
"It is the duty of all to encourage, aid, and
augment the number of combatants against oppres-
sion. It is not the insurrectionary party in Sicily
whom we are assisting, but Sicily herself, where
there are enemies to contend with. It was not I
who advised an insurrection in Sicily ; but from the
moment that our Sicilian brethern threw them-
selves into the struggle I considered it my duty
to assist them. Our battle cry will be, ' Italy
and Victor Emmanuel ?

THE PAPAL STATES.
The following telegram has been received by
Mr. Reuter :

VIENNA, THMIDAT.

The Sardinian Government is said to have been
induced, by the representations of France, to reeog-
niro the right of the Pope to claim eventually the
assistance of the King of Naples to maintain order
in the Papal States. It is, therefore, asserted that
if, after the departure of the French troops, the
Papal army were increased by Neapolitan soldiers,
Sardinia would raise no objection, provided the
Papal army should not attempt the conquest of
the Legations.
