the noble lord would turn his attention to social hir
provottent, he (the .Earl of Derby) was ready to offer the

LORD DERBY'S STATEMENT.
On the motion for the second reading of the Income TO
Bill,

the noble lord, he remarked, had no definite proliel'
and had opposed every motion that had come before the
House of Commons upon questions involving the flt 4,
principles of the liberal policy. They had heard er
Palmerston and Protestantism—Palmerston, and dOwle

of God. But they had never heard of Palmerston alla'
peace, Palmerston and retrenchment, or Palmerston and
reform. In proof of the want of firmness on the part et
the Government, he referred to the vote upon that
question of the reward to Sir John M'Neill and Coloae
Tulloch, and stated that the conduct of Lord PalWer.
