(F ()en 7im.s.)

,eprohite the di,ingenuou-neNs of the proceeding by
which the msjority of the Route of Commons hay been
lulled into whet would Id, m to tie a hilse security.

We never dispu•ed the canstitutional doctrine, that,
as the Prime Minister of this country ought to
possess the confidence of the majority of the House
of Commons, and a. Lord Derby, by his own admission;
..4.1_114.ekaPP94-0V14141t9.41
and th ereiary lairlitate tnr :the Co s; does not,
possess that confidence, he is placed in, an abnormal and- 111111
exceptional position, which ought not to be continued
one moment longer than the necessities of the publio
service absolutely demand. We have hitherto been un-
der the impression that Lord Derby himself held the
same opinion, and that he was as willing as his autago•
fists to pot an end to an interregnum neither gratifying
to his pride nor calculated to contribute to the lustre of
his reputation. We thought that he would not endure
a moment longer than duty compelled him the presence .
of a Parliament of which he was the nominal leader, but
not the actual master. We thought that, whatever
might be the impatience with which the men, of Man-
cheater burn to enter the lists, our fiery Premier would
be as eager for the confict as they. It seems, however,
that we were mistaken. To hold the responsibility of
office without its powers, to be Prime Minister under a
hostile Opposition, to be confined to " humble end useful"
duties, to resign the adv, cacy in words and the per-
tormance in deeds t f those things which for six years he
has solemnly declared to be indispensable,—these things,
so grievous to ordinary mortals, could not, we thought,
he light and easy of endurance to the proud heir of the
house of Stanley.
On the 19th of last month, in answer to a question by
the Duke of Newcastle, the Earl of Derby spoke as fel-
lows;—" I will go a step fatal:or, and say that I think
the next autumn ought not to be allowed to pass over,
not only without the country having had the opportunity
of coming to a decision, but without Parliament having
had the opportunity of pronouncing definitively aid
finally its opinion and its judgment can the course of
policy that mught to be adopted on the part of the Go-
vernment. I will give no pl• dge as to time, whether in '
April, in May, or in June, that an appeal shall be made
to the country, but I admit that an appeal ought to
be made to the country before the ordinary time of
commencing the next session of Parliament, and that
the great question in issue should be decided and adjue
oicated upon by Parliament at an earlier period, so that
the ordinary and curreot business of the next session
should not be interfered with by a protracted discussion
en the commercial and financial position of the country."
Lord Aberdeen, on behalf of the Conservative, and Lord
Grey, on the part of the Whig Opposition, professed
themselves satisfied with this promise; and well they
might, for, without attempting to weigh words and
syllables, or to deal with the declaration of a high-
spirited nobleman by the rules of special pleading and
minute verbal a iticism, any man t f plain sense reading
this passage would understand,—first, that Lord Derby
contemplated the probability of a dissolution unless
some extraordinary circumstance intervened ; and,
secondly, that he propoa, d in the course of the
autumn, and before its close, to submit to Parliament
:the question of what policy the Government ought to
pursue. Mr. Disraeli was not so • xplieit in his expla•
nations, and the result was, that while in the House of
Commons the Mit isterial explanations gave rise to a
long and angry debate, in the House of Lords the expla-
nation we. treated as qui'e sa'isisetory. On the follow-
ing Monday, however, Lord John !Wessell, stating the
construction which he put on Lord Derby,'s answer,
which was exacily what we have said would be the con-
structiou of any person of common sense, announced his
intention, on the faith of the promise, to facilitate as
much tut possible the progress of public business. This
was dons in the presence of the Ministry; and if Lord
Derby had been misreported, or if the construction
paced by Lord John Russ,ll on his words was forced or
erroneous, it was their duty to contradict an interpreta-
tion which, by their silence and acquiescence, they
rendered their own. On the strength of this
interpretation the estiman s were passed unquestioned,
and no doubt was thrown on the intentions of
the Government till Lord Derby's declaration
of Tuesday last. " Nothing," he then said, "has ever
fallen from my lips which could lead any one to suppose
that the present would be a session of unusually short
duration. I never said anything which could justify
such a conclusion;" and afterwards Lord Derby added,
interrupting the Duke of Newcastle for the purpose,
that he _never mentioned the months of, April, May, or
June, a statement in which be was directly and most
mthiselepdledtghee
justly contradicted by the Duke. Of course, we its

nir either point of view the House in the first instance, or whether he has since
changed his mind, and now
unadvisedly given. Be
oc-
currence is greatly to be regretted. In the first place,
it tends not indirectly to lower that unhesitating and
eager confidence which everyone placed in the assurance
of Lord' Derby, understood in its ordinary sense, and
without the slightest apprehension of any finesse or am-

seems to think most desirable,
destined to be brought to a speedy close, this end will
now probably be obtained, not through mutual agree-
ment and compromise, but by making the minority feel
in the fullest extent that it is the minority, and that Go-
vernment, in this Parliament at least, exercises its fano-
Lions merely on sufferance. •
We have no wish to rank among the counsellors of
Lord Derby, but, as having been uniformly anxious to
obtain for him the fullest hearing and the fairest trial,
we beg to point out how little will be gained by pro-
tracting the session at the expense of so much character
and public confide. ce. Tlie position of a Ministry in a
minority is ni i her dignified nor popular. It, forbids a
Government to advance, and for a Government not to
advance is to recede. Every week that Lord Derby's
belpless situation continues is sapping the foundation
of that party fur whose support he looks at the
coming election. Uncertain of the intentions of
the Government, constituencies are taking the mat-
ter into their own hands, and are in many in-
stances displacin adherents of the present Ministry
to make room for Candidates possessing little else
that is definite except an adhesion to the doctrines of
free trade. The cry on that side is certain and popular;
on the other the trumpet,se:s an uncertain sound, and
who shall prepare himself fri _r Wavering be-
tween Protective yearnings and Free Trade realities,
without any avowed policy, without any wearly defined
intentions, the Ministry seems to live on from day to
day impatient of its present anomalous state, and yet
afraid to exchange it sooner than it is absolutely com-
pelled for its future condition, whatever that may be. •
such policy is too refined and artful for the blunt and
downright English nation. Let Ministers propound
their principles, and it will accept or reject them; but
in this free country we do not submit, except provi-
sionally, and then with much impatience, to the govern-
ment of a minority, and are not in the habit of being
consulted as to what principles our rulers ought to ado?"'
