leaders d a practically impossible tiers perti, that
we persisted in laughing at them, and tried
to laugh them into something better. If any of the
survivors from the lamentable wreck have made up
their minds that they have had enough of it, have
found that it's no us frying to cruise with heavy
ships in shallow waters, and are ready to be finally
enrolled in the Liberal party for good and aye—we
shall heartily welcome them.
Bat there =Abe no more talk of Coalitions. The
very notion of the thing would be an absurdity.
There are no longer any distinguishable elements
for the fabrication of a compact of the kind. Lord
DEIBT may, if he pleases, offer a seat in his next
paulo•post-future cabinet to Mr. GLADEITONZ t but a
contingent Mr. Ouneroxi has no longer to bring
with him to the ranks of the Tories. As an adhe-
rent he may be regarded as posserni. tg a certain
value t bat be can no longer be treated of, or treated
with, as en independent ally.

We can imagine the quiet sense of satisfaction
wherewith Mr. 0111811.1 and his immediate friends
regard the final extinguishment of the section that ,
so frequently proved itself just strong enough to
balk their ambitious aspirations, though not anti-
gillatly powerful to attain the realisation of its own.
Pinsomal rivalry there may still be between men of
111. debating ability and great versatility of re-
imam But the end of the memorable schism of
1•111 be the Conservative party leaves the author and
of that signal revolt undisputed master
:rdr
laid. Not only is Pen and Pesti= dead,
but Pselites, as a parliamentary denomination, have
absolutely ceased to be. There is good taste and good
policy in the suppression of each emotions as those re-
lated to in the avowed organs of the Derbylte leaders.
Yet we think we bear now and then a smothered
laugh when the visions gains and losses of the recent
fray ars enumerated. The chiefs of opposition can
almost afford the diminution of their own actual fol-
lowers for sake of the relative augmentation of their
importanoo by the annihilation of that middle party
which so long held the balance in its hands. If in
the development of opinion in the new House of
Commons Ministers should fail to keep at the head
of the Liberal majority, we may see, indeed, a third
party once more assuming definite shape and consist-
ency ; but in that case it will proceed on very different
principles, and with very different aims, from that
which has lately vanished from the scene. Instead
of serving, or being meant to serve, as a cheek or
drag upon the onward tendency of the Whigs, " the
gentlemen below the gangway" will in all probability
play somewhat of the part their predecessors in
that quarter of the house did in the latter years of the
0/LEY administration, when they contributed poten-
tially to stimulate the laggard spirit of the Oovern-
meat, and strengthened their hands when threat-
ened by the reactionary opposition of the day. On
the other band, the tendency will in all probability
be now, as it was then, to consolidate the Tory
party, and to revive its internal discipline. We
cannot say that we contemplate this result with
regret. We have ever contended that a well-
organised Opposition is essential to the well-working
of any administration, no matter how composed;
and we have little doubt that much of what we have
during the last few years had to complain of in the
conduct of parliamentary busbies; may fairly be
attributed to the want of such constitutional
pressure.
