"THE INSOLENCE OF OFFICE" has never been
more flagrantly illustrated than it was last evening
in the House of Commons by her Majesty's Gee
vernment. Ministers are, to all appearance, reso-
lutely bent upon completing their career to a nicety.
They are rounding it to a point. Having brought
disgrace upon England by their Foreign Policy—
they have now, so far as in them lies the power for
so doing, brought disgrace upon the House of Com-
mons by their mode of conducting its discussions.
The scene which took place last night in the lower
House of Parliament was simply disgraceful. And
the originators of it from first to last were the lead-
ing members of the Administration, Elsewhere,
the full particulars may be turned to and
examined by themselves. And, when they
have been so examined, we are vastly mistaken
indeed if the opinion pronounced thereupon by
every unprejudiced observer, is not in every parti-
cular directly adverse to the Leaders of the Go.
vernment. Against them, their own Speaker, the
Liberal. Speaker, Mr. DENISON, has pronounced
quite unmistakeably. And yet—shameful to relate
—the aged Leader of the House of Commons, the
Prime Minister of England, actually took upon
himself to contend against the reasonableness of the
decision of the Speaker of the House of Commons
upon a point of order—and was abetted in that act
of insubordination by the right hon. gentleman
the Chancellor of 'the Exchequer, It is not many
months since Lord PALMERSTON had to be taught
what was really his duty as Leader of the House by—
of all people in the wide world !—the Leader of the
opposition. We assert this, within the recollection
as to what took place. And—now
of the House itself,
—outelleroding HEROD—surpassing even himself
in flagrant contravention of the simplest rules of
the Rouse of Commons—the Leader of the House of
ecnnznons,the Prime Minister of England, no official
less eminentthanViscountP
_ ALMERSTON himself, ont-
rages all sense of decency by contending against the
deliberate decision of th 3 Speaker upon a Point of
Order. A little more than a week ago Lord PAL.
MERSTON was "hooted" down While addressing the
House in explanation of
what was likely to be,
according to his view of things, the future of the
Foreign Policy of England under his government !
That he absolutely was "hooted"--gee the
plain
matter of fact statement of the Liberal Spectator of
Saturday last. And now, last night, Lord PAL.
MERSTON, by his extraordinary indecorum in
opposing the decision of the Right Ron. the
Speaker upon a point of Order—was greeted
bf eriee of " Order, order !'' " Chair, chair
cries sa long, so general, and so reiterated in
accents of indignation, that his remarks became at
last inaudible I Yet, immediately afterwards, the
Chancellor of the Exchequer did precisely the same
—being thereupon likewise mat by stormy cries of
"order" and " chair." The whole scene, we repeat,
was simply most disgraceful. It was most discredit-
able to the Rouse. It was most disrespectful to the
speaker. It affords absolutely conclusive evidence
(d such had been in any way needed) that so far
es human judgment can foresee, Mr. GLADSTONE
can never hope to become Leader of the House of
Commons, can never dream of a time when
ho o!la attempt to assume the Leadership
of the Government. From this he is constito•
