LONDON, SATURDAY, MAY
8, 1852.

Unable to bestow that blessing upon the
agricul-
turists in particular, the Government is endeavouring
to accord to the entire country the advantages of
Protection. Instead of being protection against the
importation of foreign
core, it is to be protection de.
rived from the militia. AlnOng the many legislative
anomalies which have marked the present session,
assuredly this is by far the most remarkable. It dis-
plays the members of the newly constituted Adminis-
tration in the light of humcurists rather than of
statesmen. After maintaining, a 3 Lord DEBUTi un-
questionably did, in the memorable speech naugura-
tive of his Cabinet, that there was no likelihood
of any such warlike invasion as bad been anticipated
by the alarmists—grounding his assurance upon the
fact of our friendly relations with foreign countries,
and referring, in illustration of this, particularly to
the amicable disposition shown by the PRINCE PRE-
SIDENT of the French Republic towards England—
the PaEMIER has, nevertheless, consented to counte-
nance the Bill introduced to the Commons by the
HOME SECRETARY, as a measure directly emanating
from the councils of her MAJESTY'S Government. The
result of this inconsistency has been no less extraordi- '
nary than the inconsistency itself—larger and larger
majorities being accorded by the popular representa-
tives on each successive division to the very same
kind of project, the folly of which led to the d'isrup-
%len of the late Administration. Ministers have
placed themselves, therefore, in this rather ridiculous
1'3341°n—they are virWally approving when in office
a panic Which they disdained when in opposition—
added to whieb, they are forcin
the protection ofg upon the country
a militia to which they were not
pledged, while, tea the same time, they are coolly
setting aside the protection of the revived corn-laws,
to which they were most solemnly pledged to their
-
constituencies,!
