ThITIVIOTTAZS Or THE EAT.

We believe, with satisfaction, that Mr. Macaulay,
as he is yet to have one opportunity more as a Minister,
of defending the Government policy, has taken to study
the questions of the day ; so that he may not be again
under the painful necessity of reading Lord Palmerston's
speech to explain their bearings to his constituents.
Being well aware of the great talents of the
Honourable Gentleman, we are sure that if he
devote half as much time to that as he must
have done to Pere Cyran and La Mere Angelique he
will yet do the good cause which has thrust him into
power and opulence, and to which he owes some alle-
giance, great service. We are not even without
hope, if he turn his attention to the matter, that he may
find in our suffering hand-loom weaver population as fit
themes for his eloquence, and as bright examples of
cheerful submisSion to an over-ruling destiny, as in the
attenuated advocates and worn-out soldiers, running
from the world from disappointment or superstition,
whom he has dignified and ennobled. Should
he set before the world the suffering and patience of our
population with the same mastery of diction as he has
described the resignation Of the recluses of Port Royal,
he will go far to achieve a victory for humanity mid
freedom, and inspire the world with respect for talents
which have latterly been wasted on a very indifferent
theme.

A split among the Tories has already manifested
itself respecting the Speakership. The more rational of
the party propose, Mr. Shaw Lefevre, and the other Sir
Eardley Wilmot. Indoed the very idea of electing a
Liberal was never fei. -an instant thought of by the
Orangemen. Everything must be carried by a high hand,
and if Sir Robert become restive they will choose another
leader.

apprehension that the energetic orders given to General Rul-
