' SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
IA SPECIAL EDITION of the "EXPRESS,"
containing the results of the day's Rams, is pub-

I hated every evening daring the Sporting Season, at
1 six o'clock.
Tree final extinction of the Reform Bill party of
IMO will not replace in the ascendant those prin-
ciples and that practice of government which bore
sway before its formation. These are as essentially
things of the past as the principles and practice of
. government which prevailed in the times of the
I 1 TGDORD and the Srt'airs. And not only is it im-
possible for the new Administration to act upon
Tory principles, it is impossible for them long to
retain power. They are the heads of a party which
is a minority in the country, and of a party which is
divided within itself. Some of their retainers are
attracted to them by the liberal promises of Lord
i,
STANLEY, Mr. DISRAELI, and Sir Joss PAEINOTON;
fl others, by their faith in the proud conservatism al
Mr. HENLEY and—strange to say—the ci-derma
Whig, Lord Deasy. They have no common policy,
no one object to the attainment of which they
all look forward with hope and desire ; and
these are the only permanent cements to
keep parties together. They are doomed to speedy
dissolution, whether they meet with energetic oppo-
sition or not. They must break up and drift
asunder, from the repulsive influences which exist
within their own body. We shall be reminded that
on the accession of °warm 111., and after the
1 ' failure of the NORTH and Fox coalition, and again
after the breeking4ip of the " All-the-Talents"
Ministry, want of concert among the liberal and
1 , enlightened politicians of the time enabled Adminis-
trations not remarkable for general talent and
animated by no high strain of patriotism to secure
for themselves a long continuance in oflice. Bat at
each of these junctures there were questions mooted
by taking a decided part in which a Ministry which
had no other claims upon public support was
11 enabled to keep itself in power. Lard NORTH
availed himself of a wide-spread sympathy with a
young King of spotless character 'trivial( to
emaecipete himself and the country from the
domination of a small coterie of noble
1 families. The second Pirr availed himself of the
Anti-Jacobin panic of the politically powerful
classes. A noisome and Livearoot. availed them-
selves of the enthusiasm with which the whole
people had thrown themselves into the struggle
against the power of the first Naroutow. The
DERBY-DISRAELI Cabinet have no such means of
. i ingratiating themselves with an apathetic or hostile
public. They have no great task before them, by
1 i undertaking whisk they can give the public an in-
terest in their continuance in office, long enough to
enable them to strengthen their position by a judiei-
I one distribution of patronage. Unfortunately he
them, the only political movements in which the
• public could at present be brought to take an into-
i
?
rest are such, that for them to promote them would
, insure the immediate revolt of an immense mejority
of their retainers. There is not much hostility
towards the present Ministers in general society,
or in the country at large. They have met with
much forbearance, and have been promptly and
liberally praised for whatever they have dew well.
But the very tolerance they hare experienced is in
itself a proof et the universal sense of their weakness.
The chance of their permanent retention of office is
too small to awaken active hostility.
The Datunr-Disoana Ministry is little latelTre
'arrive long enough to admit of an effective opposi-
tion being organised against it. It will die of some
accident, as Lard PALMERSTON'S died before it. But
I for this very reason it is pretty certain to be ono-
ceeded by some other combination as aphorise and
ephemeral as itself. In fact, the country is Wee-
k
ened with a encesesion of short-lived, incompetent,
I i characterless Administrations. In such epochs a mere
external appearance of power is delegated fora short
II time to nominal hungrier, under whom sharp,
self-seeking men, with some experience of official
routine, fill their pockets at the national exposes.
Fell-fledged, fell evils remain unredeemed, sad
germs of mischief develop themselves into a prune
magnitude. It is precisely at such epochs that a
I ..
career is opened for vigorous, far-sighted, proud,
and generals ambitions. Now is the time fer thole
who can bear the postponement of the possession of
power, in order to sneers the certainty of being able
to use it fee great and good purposes. Now is the
time for such minds to seek each other out, and court
reciprocal alliance, and acquire the habit of meting
in concert In polities—even apart treat the promo-
tion of social progress—there are always peat era
vices to be rendered to society. The art of pm.
. ment is the art of enforcing law and order by the
instrumentality of men who are incessatly tempted
by their own impulse to transgress both. The edi-
fice of government is an edifice built of such eras-
.
• 1 bling materials, and exposed to so many storing,
that they who live ander it must be constantly on
l the watch to detect and patch up incipient flaws and
breathes. The truly great statesman is he who is
I most quick-sighted to discover approaching dangers,
the most influential to rouse the community to avert
them while there is yet time, se to repair them if
they cannot be averted. Society is every moment
t : entering apse mote untried phase of its exietesee ;
they who meet carefolly note the progress of the
change will be the beet able to aid in averting the
1 evils it may superinduce. Experiments in adminis-
tration have been institated of late years, the pro-
gress of which will crave wary watching. The ex-
tensive resort to the principle of voluntary support
