Pending the realisation of these high-minded hopes
and generous anticipations, Lord Palmerston has
had the advantage of all the support, and of all the for-
bearance, which his ex-colleagues (but still intimate
allies) below the gangway could afford him. By their
aid four months of the session have been as completely
wasted as though they were all still sitting together on
the Treasury bench. By their joint acts, the jury which
was to try them for incompetency and neglect in the
conduct of the expedition to the Crimea has been so con-
stituted as to deprive its ultimate decision of all its ter-
rors ; and as regards the great question of peace or war,
it is notorious that so late as Monday last the seceding
coalitionists had been kept so well in hand by the Prime
Minister, that at the intimation of a wish from him,
they were ready to forego even the cheap luxury of a
bath in the waters of sentimental absurdity which Mr.
Milner Gibson had been at the pains to prepare for them.
And yet within a week the entente cordiale has been
openly severed ; insinuations the most damaging and
taunts the most provoking have been interchanged ;
avid the last sounds heard in the Palace of Westminster
on Friday night, as the Commons dispersed for the holi-
days, were muttered reproaches and half stifled threats
of vengeance to come.
Such are the natural consequences of committing poli-
tical adultery. For the sake of faithless smiles and in-
sidious blandishments the heads of the Whig party have
for two years and a half been leading a disreputable
course of public life, forsaking all which they were most
bound to cherish, and destroying in those most inclined
to regard them with respect and confidence sentiments
alike essential to their collective and individual influences.
And what is now the position in which they find them-
selves ? Covered with a just share of the obloquy and
odium which they earned in concert with their late corn-
panicns, and at the eleventh hour driven to repudiate
their illicit sympathy as their only chance of avoiding,
general and final condemnation. Up to the last, pro-
mises and pretences of negotiating a peace at Vienna
were confidently held out .to the Aberdeenites in
order to secure, on a division, their votes against Mr.
Disraeli ; but even in the hour of this dearly-bought
success, Lord Palmerston deemed it indispensable to his
own safety to treat with open scorn and contumely the
party with which he bad so ostentatious a liaison. Cer-
tain of a majority by their aid on the recent trial of party
strength, the Premier could not resist the temptation of
telling the Aberdeenites, whom he was about to cast off,
that if there were a general election to-morrow, not one
of them could retain their seats—a vain and reckless
taunt, as wanton as it was unfounded. The greater
number of the seats occupied by this lately caressed, but
now discarded section, are either close boroughs or close
counties. This Lord Palmerston ought to have remem-
bered was what contributed so materially to enable him
to strangle the Reform Biil of 1854 ; and this ere long
he will perhaps have reason to recollect as a potential
element in the new moves and combinations which are
likely to disturb his plans. Fifty Aberdeenite votes
were recorded on Friday night against the tricky and
shallow proposition of Mr. Disraeli. Had these been
cast into the opposite scale the ministerial majority
would have ceased to exist, and either the Cabinet or
the Parliament would by this time have come to an end.
It was clearly the interest of these fifty' gentlemen to
show the Derbyites that alone they could not win ; but
that suggestive lesson having been thus impressively
taught, what inducement will there exist for a repetition
of the same irksome line of procedure on a future occa-
sion ? No sooner was the result proclaimed than Sir J.
Graham rose, and with a tone and emphasis not to be
mistaken, formally renounced all continued participation
in the foreign policy of the Government. They had en-

The subject lay in the way of the House, and was
treated accordingly. Long before the Administrative
Reform Association was thought of, indeed, Mr. Wise
had placed his notice on the business-paper of Parlia-
ment, and had even already obtained a partial discus-
sion of his views in Committee of Supply. Nor is
the result less significant from the circumstance that
his present victory was unexpected and unsought. The
member for Stafford had no intention of throwing Mi•
nisterir into a minority. He was satisfied with the
honour of having drawn attention to the subject, or
subdued, perhaps, by the adroit flattery of Lord Pal-
merston, and was quite willing to withdraw his motion.
But this the house prohibited. Honourable members
are nnw in a reforming humour, and seize eagerly upon
the first opportunity of putting that fact on record.
This case, we are assured, will become a precedent for
frequent imitation. Any enterprising representative,
who will but slightly vary the terms of Mr. Wise's mo-
tion, and set forth that the Foreign-office establishment,
or that of the Home-office, or of the Colonial-office, and
so on to the end of the chapter, "requires revision," is
certain of obtaining a majority and beating the Govern-
nt, if the Government are rash enough to oppose him.
There is one difference, and but one, between the
condition of the diplomatic service and that of any
other department of official organisation—the function-
aries who are attached to it live and act more completely
in the public view. From his Excellency the Ambassador
to the youngest attache, or the British consul at the most
remote and insignificant station, the country knows all
about them, and many of our countrymen have the op.
portunity, and often the necessity, to test their industry
and aptitude for office by personal experience. Their
names, places, functions, and salaries are all tabulated
in annual returns to Parliament, orrecorded in Murray's
Handbooks, and the " Almanach de Gotha." Every
Englishman who travels—and all Englishmen travel
now-a-days—is able, and sometimes forced, to make
their acquaintance in different parts of the world, and
can speedily find where they come from, and what they
are made of—who were their progenitors, and what their
fitness for the functions entrusted to them. The oppor-
tunities thus afforded gave Mr. Otway the particular
information which he used so damagingly in the
late debate to prove that promotion went by favour and
not by merit, and that the lucky members of the diplo-
matic corps who secured the best-paid berths and most
eligible stations, owed their good fortune solely to some

Does any one doubt for a moment that a similar sys-

are of a more secluded nature, and the facts less patent
to general view ! If these things are done in the green

lic service the public itself rarely or never comes into
actual contact. They belong to the internal mechanism
whose shortcomings or misdoings may be often percep-

(Front the Morning Herald of this day.)
On Friday night the Commons of England, in Parlia-
ment assembled, endorsed the late decision of the Upper
House, and the fact is now before the nation, that a non-
descript majority of the members of both branches of
the Legislature voted a confidence in Lord Palmerston's
Government, which, in their speeches, they unequivo-
cally disclaimed. Well may the noble lord be proud—
well may the " Russian influence " rejoice ; both Lords
and Commons have decided for the Czar, and there is
nothing which is hostile to him in broad England except
the nation, and the minority which in both houses repre-
sented its opinions.
The result, however, which we anticipated has taken
place, and the inevitable tendencies of individuals and
parties to and from each other are beginning to be ob.
vious even to the dullest, and out of the chaos which the
house has lately presented, Englishmen will at length he
able to separate and divide the discordant elements into
something resembling definite positions.
We have now the English and the Russian party face
to face". We have now Peelism indissolubly attached to
Manchester ; and we have now ascertained beyond a
doubt that " Administrative Reform" is but a name, and
that the principles of its teachers are equally malleable
for party purposes with those of many another move-
ment which has preceded it to the grave, and having

[ADVERSISEMENT.]— Holloway's Pills an admirable
remedy for indigestion and disordered stomachs.—The
widow of an officer in the army, residing at Southamp-
ton, who had lived for several years in India, suffered
there so dreadfully from the liver complaint and indiges-
tion, .that she could scarcely ever keep any food on her
stomach, and her system became thereby so debilitated
that she was reduced to a complete skeleton, and suf-
fered continually from sick headaches arid nervousness.
On her return to England she commenced taking Hollo-
way's pills, and in the course of six weeks this un-
rivalled medicine removed all traces of those distressing
complaint-, and she now enjoys the best of health.—

way's Establishments, 244, Strand, Loudon, and 80,

SOLICITORS' AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE.—On
Saturday last this company held its ninth annual meet-
ing at the Gray's-inn Coffee-house ; Mr. w. Jones pre-
sided. Mr. Neison, the secretary, read the report of
the directors for the last year, which stated that 201
new policies had been issued during the past year, as-
suring a gross amount of 106,2221., and yielding 3,6921.
in premiums. The total number of policies now in force
was reported as 1,331, the gross amount assured by
them 657,8511., producing in premiums 20,3851., and the
total income of the association from premiums, interest,
and all sources, 23,571/. The number of claims arising
front deaths during the year had been only 19, involving
payments to the extent of 3,2501., being less by 6,850/.
than the amount paid on the same account in the pre-
vious year, and less than 1(3 per cent. upon the receipts
arising from anuual premiums, More than one-half of
the total amount paid on these policies which had so
fallen in had been met by the premiums received on
lapsed and discontinued policies. The average loss
chargeable ou account of thou losses had been less than
1,5401. a-year. The report concluded by referring to the
fact that the proprietary comprised a body of 400 so-
licitors, and urged the exercise of their influence in in-
creasing the business of the company. The report was
unanimously adopted, and the retiring directors having
been re-elected, and 5001. voted for the services of the
board, a vote of thanks was passed to the hoard, and
another to the chairman, the former of which was ac•
know.ledged by Mr. Commissioner onblauque, The
