The Parliamentry proceedings of yesterday, both
in the Lords and in the Commons, were strictly
in keeping with the weary, depressing influence of
this grey, dull February weather. They were
worthy, in every • way, of what Lord DERBY
tersely defined as "an ancient Ministry, and a
moribund Parliament." It is true the leaders
upon each side of the House of Peers took part in
the discussion, there, such as it was. Not so in
the House of Commons. While the Earl of DERBY
and Earl GRMWILLE, each as Leader respectively, in
the Upper House, of the Government side and of
the side of the Opposition, exchanged complimen-
tary hints of future hostility—in the Lower House,
the Prime Minister and the right hon. gentleman the
member for Buckinghamshire confronted each other,
throughout the evening, in dogged silence. Could the
latter, by any acoustic possibility, have contrived
to catch an echo of the opening remark of Lord
DERBY—when the noble Earl rose to address his
compeers in that mysterious " other place," the
precise name of which must never be mentioned to
ears polite in the presence of Mr. SPEAKER—" Were
it not that I might be thought guilty of some
discourtesy to the noble lords who have moved and
seconded the Address (the Earl of CHARLEMONT and
Lord HOUGHTON) by passing it by without observa-
tion, &c."—Mr. DISRAELI might, in that case, have
felt himself constrained to say something, however
vaguely generalised, upon the subject of the loyal
Address of the House of Commons in answer to the
Speech from the Throne, if only out of consideration
for the feelings of the mover and seconder, there—to
wit, Sir HEDWORTII WILLIA3ISON and the Hon. ILk.N-
BURY TRACY. As it was, the right hon. gentleman,
having no such over-refined scruples of courtesy
inciting him to speak when he had really little or
nothing whatever to say—after, in the most exem-
plary manner, enduring the tedium of a good deal
of small talk from the back benches—walked off, as
one might say, with a shrug of the shoulders, leav-
ing Lord PALMERSTON sitting mumchance upon the
front Treasury bench opposite, without a plea for
opening his
twenty-five in—ini3ust'esuntil the House rose at
the hour, was to nine o'clock, early as
quite worn out and dispirited ! The
whole thing we repeat was, just simply, from first to
last, perfecily in keeping.
But for the Irish Mem-
bers taking
exception,
some oyfaithsem pretty strongly,
to the paragraph in the
Ireland, • the House might most
referring to
e of
et have dropped
asleep prematurely under the drowsing influence
sheer dullness and stupidity. Gallantly, how_
ever, Mr. VINCENT SCULLY began the mutiny• One
of the English Country gentlemen, on the
Conservative side—Mr. RICHARD LONG, the
member for Chippenham, generously breaking
new ground, later on in the evening, as a volunteer
champion of Irish rights and an impassioned repre-
hender, in behalf of Ireland, of English, that is, of
course, of Whig misgovernment ! The hon. mem-
b3r, here referred to, during the course of his very
earnest remarks, it should be said, raised the
laugh, once, against the occupants of the Treasury
Bench, by defining " a itt office" as 4, an
