long and well. for little bei-
anateiy, we think, the
ter reason than that they were tired of him. There is the
case of Mr. Bernal again, so long Cnairraau of Committees

Lunbyth electors .i ere not
Reform Bill. The electors of Rochester were fairly weary of
ni,.., face. His connexion with the borough had Listed, with
but a short interval, from the year 1820 to the present time
and :his, upon the new principle of cll.-carding old servants,
was sufficient to prccure his rejection. There is Mr. Greene,
again, who has represented Lancaster for the last twenty-
eight years. This gentleman was a most useful and assidu-
ous Member of Parliament. From the year 1841 to the year
1847 he acted as Chairman of the Committees of the whole
House. He made no display, and probably did not possess
any of those brilliant oratorical talents ,which have distin-
guished our leading statesmen in the Lower House; but he
was always at his post, and always acted a part which en-
titled him to the re.pect of his fellow senators. Well, the
aspiring men of Lancaster have pushed their old Member out,
and taken a new servant in his place. These three cases of Mr
D'E3ncourt, Mr. Bernal, and Mr. Greene, probably all stand
on the same footing. They are all three cast aside be-
cause of their long service, rather than for any specific crime.
The failure of Sir George Clerk at Dover is referrible to
another cause. He, in common with all that remains of the
late Sir Robert Peel's followers, must make up his mind to
be beaten everywhere and at all times, until be can attach
himself to some party or other which is recognised by public
opinion. In 1847 it was all well enough. The service ren-
dered was recent, and the public gratitude was warm. We
are bound to state that during the course of the corn• law de-
bate no member of his Government rendered more efficient
service to the First Minister than did Sir G. Clerk. Per-
fectly impervious to the fallacies and the sarcasm of Lord G.
Bentinckand Mr. Disraeli, he would rise at the conclusion of a
three.hour set speech, and with half-a-dozen sentences from the
Prices Current, or the back numbers of the lilark-lane Express,
knock the whole fabric of nonsense about. their ears. He
is gone, as Mr. Cardwell is gone, in great measure because
he is a Peelite, and a Peelite is merely nominis umbra. It
only shows what vitality there was in the policy of that
great man, that for so long a period after his death mere re-
verence to his name could in some measure form a bond of
union amongst a knot of able and active politicians. The
lofty views of Sir Robert Peel will remain for ever on record
in our Parliamentary annals, and the beneficial effects of his
commercial policy will long continue to be felt by the British
people, who owe to him so deep a debt of gratitude, but
Peelites can exist no more as a political party. In one sense
we are all Peelites. We say " all," because his most invete-
rate opponents are at this time paying the highest tribute to
the value of his great political achievements. We all reve-
rence the memory of the departed Statesman, but a political
party cannot be held together upon sympathies and regrets.
The rejection of Mr. Pusey for Berkshirewas, perhaps, of
all, the most singularly• •
ill-timed. If this gentleman yielded
to conviction, it was because conviction came upon him with
so much force that all struggle was in vain. Before a twelve-
month is out there will not be one of the honest farmers who
combined to put his adversary at he to of p, hut

nents nents and his constituency. But the men of Herefordshirse-
have a very judicious terror of anything like a man of
ability. They feel uncomfortable with him. There is no
sympathy, no pleasant flow of feeling between the consti-
tuency and such a representative. Thus they have discarded
their clever servant, and have taken a dull one in his place,
who will be a more fitting colleague to Messrs. Hanbury and
Booker. The rejection of Mr. Grantley Berkeley for West
Gloucestershire is more intelligible. The constituency was
probably sick of a private squabble between two brothers,
about which no living man, but the Eteocles and Polynices
of the affair, cared a single straw. His last desperate rush
for a return by his agricultural protection motion of 1850
could not save him, or replace so ricketty a candidate upon
his legs. Had the intelligence of his resignation reached us
yesterday, we should have been inclined to class his name
with that of some other gentlemen of whom the House of
Commons is fairly rid.
