SYMPTOMATIC.

'-‘ Lord. Palmerston grows wondrous civil. - Last night he
moved that precedence be given to thc identical motion of Sir,
Erskine Perry upon which 'Government not long ago con-
trived to have the house counted out ; and be managed to
find a day for Mr. Layard's motion, after having so super-
ciliously scouted that gentleman's application for one. = The
City meeting of Saturday last is already telling. It has taught
the Pre,mier-politeness, if nothings more. Tbe.Atiniiniatntivbr
Reformers, if true to themselves, can 'command greater con,
cessions than this. " Fine words butter no parsnips," and
and mere courtesy ought not to content them. Mr. Layard

at least does not appear to have been captivated by the Pre-
mier's civility. He looked at the proffered opportunity to
bring on his motion much as a watchdog examines a bit of
bread held out to hiin bya suspicious stranger, and turned away
from it in the same fashion. The hon. member for Aylesbury
knows best ; but as it is not so easy for a private member to get
a day in the House of Commons', it appears to us that he needed
not to have looked his gift horse in the mouth. However, it is
well to be wary. Administrative Reformers may be further
tried with specious plans of improvement in the organisation
of the Government offices ; but even these ought not to induce
them to" lay down their arms. Such plans will be valueless
without the right men to work them ; they will be mere
" vows made in pain as violent as void." The contending
factions discern the latent power that slumbers as yet unde-
veloped in the young association.. Lord Ellenborough's notice
of motion for Monday is one bid to conciliate it ; Lord Pal-
merston's newly-learned civility is another. Lord Ellen-
borough, though an eccentric, is a clever and dashing debater,
and rather popular at present ; but he is linked to the Derby
party, and it was Lord Derby who placed the Duke of Nor-
thumberland at the head of the Admiralty. To succeed, the
association must adopt the tactics of the Anti-corn-law League;
cry " a plague of both your homes;" and commit itself to
neither faction. Upon its keeping itself independent of all ex-
isting political parties, supporting every good motion made
by any of them, but allowing itself to be the instrument of
none, depend its hopes of ultimate success.—Daily News.
