SUMMARY.

The Morning Herald of this day, commenting on Mr.
Grote's speech last night in the House of Commons, says—
‘• This result is precisely what we expected. Mr, Grote
and his friends—the men who boast that at all hazards they
are always ready to assert those principles to which they
profess unshrinking devotion, the political purists, in short,

appeared."
The Morning Advertisre observes, in the course of a
leading article on the subject of the debate now in pro-
gress in the House of C0mm0n5....." Ministers will have a
majority, and a greater majority than they ever dreamed
of. With the solitary exception of the place-hunters of
all parties, men of Independent and patriotic minds have
been brought by the discussion which is now in progress
to a sense of the necessity of preserving a Government
which, while it continues to improve the institutions of the
country, does not abruptly interfere with existing interests.
That this is the soundest policy, under every circumstance,
no one can possibly question ; but under the present cir-
cumstances, it is more than ever necessary that a Govern.
ment should continue to exist which, as a whole, repre-
sents the feelings of Englishmen, and, in cultivating peace,
demands and receives apologies of the most satisfactory
character from every power that has dared to offer an in.
suit to the honour and supremacy of the country."
The Morning Chronicle, alluding to the late Irish dis-
cussion in the House of Lords, remarks that one pecu-
liarly beneficial effect has resulted from the bare-faced at-
tempt to pack a Committee of the Lords, to strike at the
Government through Lord Normanby's Irish Administra-
tion. The accusers of his Lordship are Orangemen—the
old enemies of the Irish people. Ministers were defeated
in the House of Lords by Orangemen. The banners of
Orangeism were unfurled, and the vote of the House cf
Lords was naturally viewed as the consummation of the
policy which in the pulpits, in the Times, Standard, and
other newspapers, and by means of itinerant orators, has
been incessantly seeking to inffime the religious prejudi-
ces of the people of England. But is the vote of
the Lords really a victory ? Has it not been of
infinitely more detriment to the Tories than to their op-
ponents s The vote has in reality paralyzed the Tories.
Sir Robert Peel found Orangeism a convenient instrument
to excite opposition to Ministers; but he shrinks from its
alliance when he conceives office is within view.
The Morning Post contains a leading article suggested
by the debate now in progress in the Commons, in the
course of which our Contemporary makes the following ob-
servations :—" As it is, the Conservatives are indeed kept
out of office, and out of patronage; but he must be an idiot
who supposes they are kept out of political power. They
exercise a practical veto, and' something more. They not
only compel the united band of feeble Whigs and truck-
ling Radicals to abandon such measures as seem hostile to
Conservative interests, but because Ministers are ashamed
to pass through Session after Session without appearing to
do anything at all, and because they will not be allowed to
do anything unless they accept Conservative suggestions,
the measures which do pass, arc, in a material degree,
framed by the Conservative leaders."
