to give up his place in the Cabinet 1 These
simple facts open a wide field of conjecture.
They indicate that the Peace Party is still power-
ful in the Cabinet—that the spirit of Peelism still
prevails in her MAJESTY'S Government. Lord
JOHN could not remain in an Administration
where his opinions on such a question were wholly
opposed to those of all his colleagues ; nor, even
though an assenting party to his own disgrace,
would he be permitted to do so unless the con-
flicting elements were nearly balanced, and there
was a strong probability of the others being
brought round to his views at no distant period.
When starting for Tienna the Noble Lord was
well aware of the sentiments of his colleagues, and
also of those of the real but irresponsible Prime
Minister. He knew that he was expected to clutch
at any proposition, however impolitic or injurious
to the honour and interests of his country. He
did so. The plan deliberately approved of by the
Cabinets of Paris, of London, and of Vienna was
contumeliously rejected by Russia ; his instruc-
tions were thereby exhausted ; but notwith-
standing that fact, and though perfectly cog-
nisant of the primary duty of a Diplomatist,
he felt himself at liberty to state to the Aus-
trian Minister that " the terms ought to be,
and might be accepted, and that he would
lay the case before the British Cabinet, and would
use his best exertions to put the propositions in
such a light that they might hope for their alop-
tion." Would he thus widely have exceeded his
authority, have ventured en such an unparalleled
step, unless certain of the most powerful support
at home? Would he have thus usurped the func-
tions of the whole Cabinet, unless convinced that
ho was sustained by influence which could not be
disregarded! He was certainly over-ruled—the
decisive demonstrations of public opinion showed
the hesitating Ministers that the conclusion of so
ignominious and (to use Lord JOHN'S own language)
so " unpopular" a Treaty would be the signal for
their own expulsion from office. They would not
brave that danger, but they lavished praises on the
conduct of their insubordinate colleague, and still
wished for his co-operation, al though knowing that
he was seeking to obtain that which they did not
consider would be a safe or honourable peace !
These circumstances show the imperative neces-
sity of vigilance and determination on the part of
the popular representatives. There are sinister
influences in operation that must be brought to
light and properly guarded against before the
prorogation. We cannot rely on a Ministry so
thoroughly imbued with the spirit of Germanism or
Coburg,ism when the members of both Houses of Par-
liament are dispersed in every quarter, and there is no
efficient check on the Government, no means of pre-
venting a disgraceful and injurious compromise.
The clue supplied by Lord JOHN RUSSELL should
therefore be closely followed up. The labyrinthine
windings of Ministerial intrigue should be clearly
manifested, and the proceedings of those who,
without any constitutional status, and without re-
sponsibility, control the operations of the Cabinet,
be unsparingly exposed. The doctrine 'of Royal
impeccability is limited to the person of the
SOVEREIGN, and could not protect others from the
unpleasant consequences that might follow undue
meddling.
Why, we ask, have not the papers relating to
the last Austrian proposition, of which Lord J.
RUSSELL approved and still approves, as yet been
produced to Parliament ? Surely no clerk in the
Foreign-office is now ill. Such excuses cannot be
too often repeated ; and although the discussion
that must follow may be inconvenient, Ministers
must make up their minds to submit to the in-
evitable annoyance, and should do so with the
best possible grace.

FIVEPENCE-HALFPENNY.

FOURPENCF.

FOR THE THIRD OR LATEST EDITION.

In consequence of the abolition of the Stamp
Duty on Newspapers the public in all
large cities and towns to which parcels
are forwarded by the News-Agents, The
Sum, which formerly cost Fivepence-half-
penny for the Latest Edition, containing
Parliamentary Debates of the same even-
ing, together with the List of Army and
Navy Promotions in the London Gazette,
with Official Despatches from the Seat of
War, the Latest Sporting, and all other
Commercial News, List of Bankrupts,
ctc., can now be had for Fourpence,
being a saving of nearly one-third.
Hitherto the price of the paper was nomi-
nally Fivepence, but all Late Editions
posted after six o'clock were charged a
fee of One Halfpenny by the Post-office,
which made the price to the Subscriber
'ivepence-Halfpenny. This charge must
still be made to those in remote places,
unless the Postmaster-General have the
magnanimity to forego such a paltry
source of revenue.
Sun-o, e, 112, Strand, London,
tl.l July, 1855.

Mr. ROEBUCK has given notice that he will this
day move a Call of the House for Tuesday the
17th instant. This is as it should be ;it proves
the unflinching determination of the Hon. Gen-
tleman to leave no loop-hole for evasion, but to
compel every popular representative, if not to
record his sentiments respecting the conduct of
Ministers, at least to be in attendance in his
place in Parliament, and to have the opportunity
of so doing.

It is to be regretted that there should have
been so urgent a necessity for so doing—that the
Hon. Member should be compelled to resort to so
stringent a remedy, to awaken his fello►v Repre-
sentatives .to a due sense of the magnitude of the
emergency, and the vast importance of the ques-

tion about to be brought under the consideration
of Parliament. But no alternative remained.
Honourable Gentlemen had already started in,
pursuit of their respective hubbies—
"By mountain, stream, and sea ;"
and even many of those who would be contented
to relinquish their personal amusements were yet
only too happy to avail themselves of the excuse
afforded by the advanced period of the season and
the heat of the weather to avoid giving a vote
which must either seriously damage their chances
of re-election or open an unpleasant prospect of a
speedy appeal to the country. Mr. ROEBUCK
was therefore compelled to resort to the onerous
but efficient instrument that enabled him to
enforce the attendance which no sense of
duty or of responsibility would otherwise have
insured.

It is now a considerable period since so decided
a step yeas
taken, or the " touchstone" that so
clearly tested Parliamentary sincerity was resorted
to. In the
