THE SUN.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 5, 1862

To-morrow Parliament re-assembles. No great
political battle, so far as yet known, is threatening.
It is not even certain that Lord DERBY, or rather
his subordinate generals, wishes to invade the Trea-
sury Benches if he could—since if he arrived thither
he certainly could not have a working majority
without a dissolution, and it is not likely that the

veteran Premier would give him that chance. Which
side has a majority of avowed followers, it might be
difficult to gnega_ There are at the present
moment so many Conservatives who believe Lord
PALMERSTON to be the safest man for Toryism,—so
many Whig Conservatives who help to enlarge the
extent of the marches between the two great parties
—that a considerable portion of the house might be
worked, on most divisions by the whippers-in
of either party. Just now, however, PALMERSTON
has the goodwill of the country, and it would not
be safe to drive him to a dissolution. The neutrality
in the American war and the Trent affair have
unquestionably been managed in a way which the
vast majority of the country approves. There has
been boldness without insolence, and firmness with-
out obstinacy. There has been no shabby taking
advantage of Northern weakness, but there has been
enough said and done to show that the days of
such trimming to Yankee impudence as was com-
mon in the days of PEEL and ASHBURTON, are
past and gone. We cannot imagine a course
which could more commend itself to the electoral
class of England, than that which the Government
has pursued on the great and often difficult ques-
tion of the hour—the American war. Hence we
cannot doubt that Lord PALMERSTON would wel-
come being factiously compelled to resort to an

approving country.
There seems also to be a general impression that,
besides the continuance of the American war ren-
dering a change of Ministry undesirable, the
session which first receives the information of the
QUEEN'S widowhood, and has to condole with her
on the sad fact, and the session which assembles
on the eve of the Great Exhibition, in which the
deceased Prince took so deep an interest, is not one
which should be distinguished by any great fight
of political parties. No one can tell, of course, what
a Parliamentary day may bring forth; but the im-
pression seems to be that, if nothing more turns up
than is now known to all, the known circumstances
of the year impose a kind of political truce. Skir-
mishas there will certainly be. Wednesday
