SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS
TIMES.-This day the Parliament which had been
convened under the auspices of a Free-trade Govern-
ment is dissolved, and the representatives aro sent back
to the constituencies to give an account of their steward-
ship. This great constitutional event has been already
considered in the columns of the Times under many as-
pects. One remains unnoticed. The appeal is to the
country. What is the country to which that appeal is
made ? That is not the least important point for the.
consideration of Lord Derby and his colleagues. What
is the real nature and value of the machinery which is
about to be called into play ? Assuming that Lord
Derby and his party could manipulate the present con-
stituencies to their purpose, still, would they have
gained anything by the manoeuvre but the absolute ex-
dilation of all their party hopes ? We say again, what is
that England to which the appeal is made? Set-
ting aside all shadows of self-deceptions, what is the
construction of the Parliamentary map of England
at the present time ? The Census Commissioners of
1851 have, by a return which was published last month
on an address of the House of Commons, enabled
us to form something like an opinion upon the question.
We recommend the paper to the careful consideration of
as many of Lord Derby's friends as do not attempt to
deal with a great political crisis in the spirit of Perli-

according to the census of 1851, " in every county and
division of a county, and in all cities and boroughs re-
turning Members to Parliament, in Great Britain re-
spectively, with the number of M.,mbers returned; also
in towns containing upwards of 2,000 inhabitants, not
returning Members to Parliament." In other words, here
we have a brief abstract of the relations between the
country and the representation, such as enables us
to form a judgment upon the probable action of un-
represented England, if once its energies aro called
into play. Be it understood that we are not

Let it be suffi-
cient to say, that in the return before us we find that,
in addition to those
we have named, there are among
unrepresented towns five containing upwards of 13,000
inhabitants, five

and less than 6,000 inhabitants. It requires throe
pages of a large-sized and closely-printed Parliamentary
paper merely to give the names of the boroughs which
run from 2, a
000 upwards to 5,000 inhabitants, and which
are totally unrepresented in Parliament. At the end
this list will be found a brief abstract of the four great

The number of
representatives stands at 30 on either
side of this Parliamentary balance-sheet. We leave it
to more daring arithmeticians to contrast the numbers
of the constituents. Now, at the last moment when he
is about to put his great experiment to the test, we would
remind Lord Derby that he is still to reckon with a
power which that test cannot appreciate. What would
it avail him to secure a momentary success which must
be purchased at no less a cost than that of rousing all
the latent political animosity of the country against him-
self and his party? He is toying with a power which
would defy the control of the most powerful statesman
_England ever saw, if once called into play. Men who

when an improved condition of the representation would
mean the security of that great principle of free im-
ports, from which England will not recede, be the ()our
.sequences what they may. Surely Lord Derby cannot
think so meanly of his opponents as not to feel afraid
that, if he attacks, they will resist;—if he nzakes any-
thing like an effective demonstration, they will soon put
it. out of his power to make anything like a demonstra-
tion in future. Men'are beginning not only to count
the forces to be brought into the field, but the amount.
and value of the reserves on either side. Well will it be
for Lord Derby if represented England decides egainst
him in a manner so decisive as to icave no room for fur-
1-her imprudence! If it should otherwise, with unre-
presented England ho has yet to settle a terrible ac-

.SEEPr..-1-dn-- 0' conspery was immense. All the west
srd and a little of the east end of London seemed to
have emptied itself ueon the sward of the Botanic Gar-
dens, end crammed itself in essepset masses under the
'shadow of the five stately pavilion'. All the ap-
proantes presented those long crawlinglines of equi-
pikes, following each other in Indian file under the
guardianship of those out door masters of the ceremo-
nies, the police, we ich perhaps more than any other Lon-
don sight, proves the immensity of metropolitan wealth
and luxury; and the highways and bywlYs not being
able to contain a tithe of the waitirg carriages, they
were, as usual on greed occasions, drawn up in squa-
drons and batialioes on the green sward (:). the Parks
Inside the gates the grounds sere one glittering crush
of company. As we have hinted, the assemblage was to
some slight degree more mixed than usual. Possibly
the multiplicity of floral and fruity featurekhad spread
its attractions tar and wide, and other classes than those
'who genefally. iha Aandasigxelss,., the coppices
and the groves, the conservatories -and thile‘nts,- And '•
!ounge listlessly on the rout seats under the trees and
round the bands, on the Botanic show days, had mus-
tered from far and near, determined to enjoy the utmost
gratification which it was permitted to reap from one
day in the oasis of the Regent's-park. This was a fea-
ture which struck one on a close examination of the
crowds who thronged walks, tents, hot-houses, and
green sward. But the general effect was very brilliant.
With a fine and generous confidence in the skiey influs
ences—which fortunately these iefluenecs respected—the
Wises had come in the lightest and most glittering of
summer costumes, and the glitter and the flash of gaily
tinted silks, laces, scarfs, and gossamery shawls, were as
varied and as bright as the hues and the contrasts of the
flowers themselves.
The fruit, as usual, formed the main " cynosure of
nr ighbouring eyes." We never ssw a finer display, nor
one more creditable to our gardeners or to our soil.
Under the canvas of the tent the air was rich and
heavy, as with the very essence of the cloying luxuriant
fruit, and the crowd was packed so compactly along the
tempting counter that it required some exertion ere
your visual sense was gratified as well as your olfac-
tory organs. Then,
indeed, you had a rich treat. The
grapes were superb, many trays of them to the full as
large as plums. The purple-hued were in the ascendant,
and their clusters were evidently striking with awe and-
amaz?,ment the not unfrequent parties of French people,
who had never dreamed or crossing the channel to see
grapes, cne hevry of which was bigger than any three of
an) chassclas they had ever experience on Seine, or Loire,
or Rhone. The pieeapples, too, were brogdignagian,
and as well-coloured as they were big. The peaches—
downy rascals—had contrived to get into nice fleecy beds
of wadding, from which they tempted all and sundry in
an inhuman manner, and seduced an unknown quantity
of water from the teeth of all beholder?, while the straw-
berries were so mighty in dimensions and so richly
pulpy in texture that it would have been almost sacri-
lege to have smothered them, even with the richest of
cream. Next to the fruit were ranged the roses in pots
and bouquet=, but only a medium shoe', The symmetry
of the expanding flower had been checked, and the deli-
cate leaves looked wan, rugged, and rumpled. The hot-
house plants abounded—fine luxurious fellows, who never
have the fear of east winds or cold rains before their
eyes, and who put forth a vast display of bright flowers
and long names. The heaths too abounded, and the
yellow bloom of some of the Cape plants was very rich
and taking. In the tent mainly appropriated to gera-
niums, fuchsias, and so forth, the exhibitors had dropped
ihe botanic and substituted personal appellations for the
products of their nurseries. Thus a democratic fuchsia
appeared as Kossuth, and a saltatory plant of the same
species as Esmeralda. There were aristocratic ladies by
the score growing out of pots, and among the fair bevy
was a happy De. Smith. The doctor's situation was, in-
deed, to be envied. In this tent ferns, those most grace•
ful of woodland plants, abounded. Here was—
" Where the lady fern grew strongest."
and where, if not the " morning dew," at least_ Many an
' admirer of the charming jungle " lingered longest."'
Not far removed was a vast display of pinks and hearts-
' eases, the flowers cruelly snipped from their stems and
laid upon little round paper saucers, like so many floral
decapitated heads presented upon charges. Passing to
the next canvas structure, the eyes of the amateur of
• fancy pelargoniums were gladdened by the rich display;
and making our way to the opposite side, a vast range
t: of tropical plants with eccentric leaves, expanding
themselves into all sorts of quizzical shapes, gradually
settled down into a host of exotic orchids, with their
I stiff, stringy-looking stems and hanging white and yellow
I flowers. _ _

:-'------,,

—All these tents were crammed, and the spectatorial
procession moved but slowly along the floral attractions,
being brought to a stand every moment by the admira-
tion of knowing connoisseurs, who had found out some
particular shade of unwonted colour in a ranunculus,
and were as much delighted thereby as Columbus could
have been when he discovered America. The hot-

houses and .g-l;s-s -11-ou-s;s- had each their moving
crowd, and outside hardly a seat was attainable.
The wind, though rough, was not unpleasant. It surged
along the canvas of the tents, and tossed the trees, and
caught up the music of the bands, and carried off trom-
bone parts and big-drum parts gaily into the air; but,
for all filet, the bands of the Ist Life Guards, under Mr.
Waddell—of the 2d Life Guards, conducted by the able
and musician-like baton of Mr. Gratton Cooke—and of
, the Horse Guards Blue, under the charge of Mr. J. R.
futton, the best of' dance-music writers, produced a bril- -
lian,, and, I,:ngth, a united concert.
