LONDON, MONDAY, MARCH 16.

TO OUR

Itt maseminenee of the &Inception of space by the
reports cl proceedings in Parliament, the Proprietors
bare determined to isms a DOUBLE NUMBER
en SATURDAYS, so as to prevent the postpone-
ment of interesting matter. No change will take
place in the price. The SIXTH DOUBLE
NUMBER of the EXPRESS will appear ON
SATURDAY NEXT, March 21.

AMID the rising storm of electioneering excite-
ment, we have as yet listened in rain for the voices
of the partisans of Lord Dense and Mr. DISRAELI.
Their silence, however, affords no reason for be-
lieving that they are inactive. Could our eyes
penetrate into the recesses of the Carlton, possibly
we might see "W. B." and Co. labouring aa
assi-
duously as bees within their waxen cella. The
silence, too, appears to be about to have an end.
The mot dordre will probably be issued by Lewd
DEIST to his legions this evening, in the House of
Leeds.

The truth is, that the leaders of the Conservative
party cannot afford to remain longer inactive. A
dangerous competitor is taking advantage of their
hesitation to wile away many of their followers from
them. We hear, in not a few quarters, members of
the Conservative party assuming a new designa-
tion. They insist upon a distinction between Con-
servatives proper and what they call " Liberal
Conservatives." And • considerable number of
the " Liberal Conservatives" profess a qualified

adhesion to Lord PI

r. - From this state of

affairs we are disposed to conjecture that the Con-
servative party is at this moment pretty much in the
mine predicament as the Tory party was at the time
when GEORGE 111, ascended the throne. A select
body of staunch Jacobites contrived to keep together
fora good while after that event; but the mem of
the Tories, with an instinctive sense that the case of
the &Tsars was hopeless, transferred their servile
homage to the new dynasty. It wee mainly out of
those converts that Ofioace 111. contrived to foam
the party called at first " limo's friends,"
and afterwards Tories, which arrayed the might of
Britain during the whole of his reign against the
principles of liberty and progress. The Tories
assumed the Hanoverian livery, but they continued
to cherish the principles of the STCARTS. Much
after the same fashion the " Liberal Conservatives "
are now deserting the standard of the unlucky Lord
DEIST, and are Rocking to enlist under the more
fortunate banner of Lord PALMERSTON. Hie lead-

skip receives these tarn-coats with bpen arms; and
if be is allowed to have it all his own way, they
will soon make a majority of what is by courtesy
sailed the " Liberal party " in Parliament

IT u melancholy to perceive how rapidly the
experience of the late war is being forgotten
or misunderstood. Already the Government re-
quires to be reminded that the first and essential
cause of the terrible calamities which betel tha
Army of the East was defective systems, ma
want of resources. Surely it ammo sat mum
war to tell as that England abounds I. Ib
mammary matiriel, and that a power of timely
appropriation and of due arrangement and diatribe-
title was the element wanting. " Facts," it has been
said, "like stones, are nothing in themselves; their
value consists in the manner in which they are put
together, and the purpose to which they are ap-
plied." go with Mr. PEEL'S provisions against
disease and death in the coming war with China.
He I. confident that " all possible arrangements for
preserving the health of the troops would be made,
so far as that object could be effected by the provi-
sions of ample hospital accommodation, the supply
of all requisite medical stores, and the sending out
of a numerous body of medical officers." Now,
we vesture to say that, notwithstanding Mr. Peres
provisions, just enumerated—which the House,
with the exception of Mr. STAFFORD, seemed to
consider satisfactory—there is wanting that ele-
.

went of organisation or system which is abso-
lutely neceseary to give any effect to them. We
would ask Mr. Pon. what are his arrangements to
ensure the parts which he enumerates ever coming
together, or coming together at the precise dows
wanted? There were plenty of medical stereo at
Malta and at Varna when they were required
at Scutari ; and so probably there will be
abundance at Hong Kong when wanted at
Canton, or perhaps at Chown. Included in
Mr. Poet's provision for hospital aecommodation
we make sure there will be Teasels fitted as hospital
Alps. Bat by what arrangement does Mr. Pm
secure that these vessels shall not be used for other
purposes? We ask this question advisedly. for we
know an instance where a ship expressly provided
and fitted as a hospital ship, on a similar exPellis
Hon, was used for other purposes, notwithmandber
the remonstrances of the medical authorities, endless

000sequatly =able to receive sick jag at the very
ties when no other oseematelbtios was ovahabit.

Look to the histery of the Lot war in China. We
read, as explanatory of the Adorns and mortalltrat
Chosen, that masa were obliged to live in their
tents when there were thousands of houses avail-
able for that purpose ; that, without regard to the
health of the men, or consulting medical authorities
on the subject, positions were laid out for the en-
campment of the troops, and that parades and guard-
mountings were held in full dress with the ther-
mometer ranging from 90 to 100 degrees. How, we
will mak, has Mr. PEEL provided a corrective for such
hygienic ignorance, and a check to RA pipe-clay
seal ? Does he think that the character of the mili-
tary man is changed, or that the medical officer
will !» listened to in his endeavours to avert such
disasters ? No. But when sickness and death are
rife here is what will happen, recorded in the history
above referred to: "The surgeon was directed to spare
no expenso—to procure everything he considered ne-
camary—to be unremitting in hie exertions, and to
make application to the admiral direct if aught was
wanted." The surgeon recommended that a ship
should be laid apart as an hospital ship, and that
another should be given to take a portion of conva-
lescents to sea for change of sir. Unfortunately, how-
ever, there were so skip available at that tins.! What
arrangement bas Mr. Pm made to ensure that ships
shall be available on similar emergencies ?

Again, we read in the same history—and the remark
is not exclusively applicable to the last China war—
that" a sort of infatuation seemed to possess the minds
of the authcaities. Medical men, as is often the ease,
were put down as croakers; their recommendations
were neither listened nor attended to." What pro-
vision has Mr. PRIM made to enforce attention to
sanitary laws, or, in other words, to give more voice
and authority to medical officers in the conduct of
military operations?
Amongst the causes of sickness in the former war
in China, and in the last war in Hannah, we read
that much sickness and mortality arose from there
being so few camp-followers; that inconsequence,
fatigue parties of Europeans were daily detailed to
carry provisions and stores from the ships and to
perform all menial employments—labours which arc
fatal to the European in a tropical climate. What
provision has Mr. PEEL made to avoid this
fruitful source of dimes ? And as the war
is to be conducted by the Home and not by
the Indian Government, we would ask what pro-
vision Mr. Paw. has made in tie way of ambulance?
It is true the operations of the army will not pro-
bably be at any great distance from the shipping;
but have we not already learnt the difficulties which
six miles only may occasion?
What we have said is, we trust, sufficient to call
the attention of men in power to a danger of great
imminence, and we earnestly hope that our warning
may not be in vain.

THERE is no apparent reason to object to the
nomination of the Earl of ELotM for the Chinese
mission. Ministers have probably made as good a
selection as the range of persons eligible for such
employment offered to their choice. The Earl has
displayed both temper and sagacity in his dealings
with the Canadians, and with the Government at
Washington. It is not, however, the part of real
well-wishers of the noble lord to excite over-
sanguine expectations of his moms in his
present infinitely more arduous and delicate mis-
sion. Oriental diplomacy is for the Earl of ELGIN
an untried field. Moreover, in America the
path had been made smooth before him by
the previous labours of Lordi DURHAM, EIDEN-
/lAN. and METCALFE t whereas now he is
launched on a sea of troubles, without any chart
or record of the experience of previous navi-
gators. Most sincerely do we wish that his negotia-
tions may conduce to the benefit of his country, and
to the honour of the noble negotiator himself. But
we frankly confess that we await the result with
considetable anxiety. To speak lightly of the diffi-
culties that lie before him would, in the event of his
success, be to detract from his merits.
