LONDON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1352,

While the decision of the House of Commons
in reference to the motion of the Hon. Member
for Wolverhampton is still left to conjecture, it
cannot be uninteresting to call to remembrance
the benefits already secured to the country by the
DERBY-DISRAELI Government. That advantages
have accrued to the community at large from the
patriotism, or enterprise, or intelligence, or "what
you will," of the existing Cabinet, will not, we
conceive, be denied even by the more fractiour—
mind! we do not say the more factious, but sim-
ply the more fractious—among the ranks of the
Opposition. Little need be said about the Witia,
being raised upon the voluntary principle—seeing
that the merits of that scheme of enlistment re-
main yet, we believe, to be clearly demonstrated..
But a great deal in the way of eulogium might
be pronounced, and that, moreover, with the
strictest regard to accuracy, in reference to what
was happily termed on Tuesday evening, the most
popular Chancery suit ever heard of, in the
course of the masterly oration delivered by the
Right Hon. Gentleman the CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHEQUER. For the improvements already
effected in the Cour t of Chancery, by the r ,ro
ST. LEONARDS, the nation has already r e
reason for emotions of mingled gratitude and ad-
miration. They have, in truth, distinctly proved,
as Mr. DISRAELI observed, a capacity in. the in-
tellect of the Noble and Learn Lord that was
not previously anticipated. As was correctly re-
marked by the Leader of the Lower Home of
Parliament, those memorable changes have en-
hanced the popular estimate of the profound eru-
dition of the LORD RICH CHANCELLOR, having
revealed in him the enlightenment of a patriot
and the grasp of a statennan. Further altera-
tions are still confidently looked forward 'o in
the same direction. They are, in fact, formally
promised by the Ministry, as well as various
kindred innovations in the Ecclesiastical Courts,
long derided as a congeries of gilevan.c•:.l e'te•
gether odious and intolerable in ttre;,.• charac-
ter. Again, thee, twice again, CHA3.LF3 Diermsts
ha; not pleaded in vain for extraordinary and
comprehensive improvements. " Bleak House"
has barely attained the half of the allotted num-
ber of its instalments, before the complain:d
of through its eloquent pages are even now to a
considerable extent dissipated. Insomuch that
the record of the fictitious cause of JARNDYCE and
JARNDYCE might not inappropriately be declicated to
I)the Right Honourable EDWARD BIRTBNSHAW SUC-

celror. A
lmc ;t simultaneously, too, endeavours
are being made by the DERBY-DISRAELY. Cabinet

of the late do-nothing Government.. Such are a
few amongst the more prominent benefits secured
to the general community since the close of last
February : divers other advantages of a scarcely
less noteable kind even now remaining unenurrie-
rated. - A glance like this, however cursory—
