DUBLIN, THURSDAY MORNLNG.
THE TIPPERARY BANK.

Mr. R. Deasey, Q.6:,;;Sl;;;ti yesterday on
the part of the official manager, and against the
claiui of exemption put in by the English share-
holders. It is expected that the Master will give
judgment this day ; but from the tardiness of the
proceedings so far it would be rash to rely on the
realisation of the expectation.

MR. WHITESIDE AND THE DERBY PARTY.
The London correspondent of the Evening Mail
supplies some information with respect to the recent
unfortunate assault on the Palmerston Government
by the lion. member for Enniskillen which is both
novel and amusing. The writer says—
" Previously to the meeting of the Conservative party
at the residence of Lord Derby Mr. Liddell sought an
interview with that nobleman, and pressed upon his at-
tention thu extreme imprudence of the proposed inea•
sure. Lord Derby, and I believe Mr. Disraeli, thereupon
represented to Mr. Whiteside the propriety of holding
back ; but their representations were met by that gen-
tleman with, I understand, very strong language—' He
would never again vote with the party it he was not sup-
ported, and on he would go, even though he should not
have a man to stand by him.' Seeing this, Lord Derby
had no option but to assent to the proceeding; but upon
the very eve of the debate another effort was made to
stop it. An appeal was made by Mr. Henley, Sir F.
1 Thesiger, and Mr. Walpole to Mr. Disraeli to interfere,
widen the right hon. gentleman declined to do, inasmuct,i,
as he knew any appeal to Mr. Whiteside would be futile.
The writer then points to a parallel case in the
days when the Conservative party could boast of
Sir Robert Peel as their leader, and when, never-
theless, a similar rash movement by the outsiders
was attended with similar results :
" During the days of the Melbourne Ministry a cir-
cumstance
occurred quite analogous to the recent trans-
action in which Mr. Whiteside cut so conspicuous a
figure; and, as the result of both proceedings was
crowned with Ministerial triumphs, I will, with you.
permission, narrate the facts, and leave your readers to
9
1 oin.:; the moral of the tale.
t " The Melbourne Ministry of that day were sufir;ring
defeats upon minor points which shook them 4.;?, their
very centre, just as Lord Palinerston's Governmun t were
hourly losing ground until Mr. Whiteside rushed to
their rescue. A deputation from the Conservative party
of that day waited on Sir R. Peel to urge upon him the
necessity of taking a step in advance, with a view of
hurrying on the downfall of the Government. ' Let
ine alone,' :,aid that wise tactician, ' and before a month
I'd put them out ; but, it you at the present moment
test the strength of parties by a vote of want of confi-
dence you wia succeed in fixing the Government firmly
in office.' The deputation lett, and, on further consul-
tation, the party differed from t'oeir wise leader ; and at
a sub-equent interview a conversation io the following
effect tcok place :
"' Sir J.—The Conservative party agree with you,
Sir Robert, that the Government will be able to negative
the vote of want of confidence, but by so small a majo-
rity that it will be equivalent to a Conservative triumph.'
" Sir Robert Peel.—Since the passing of the Reform
Bill large majorities must not be looked for, and this
Ministry will remain in office with a very slender one
indeed ; and, under existing circumstances, depend
upon it, any majority in your favour will not be equiva
lent to a defeat. liW, as the great Conservative party
who have done me the honour to place me at their head
think that the time is come for making an onward move,
1 and as it involves no sacrifice of principle, let the party

like its cane, and yon; Sir John 'Yards Buller, AO
move the regulation, and you, Alderman Thompson,
shall second it. I will myself support it. Sir Thomas
Fremantle will send out a most urgent whip, and I gill
call the party together and advise them to support the
motion as one man.
"That night Sir John Buller gave notice of his mo•
tion (the terms of which Sir Robert Peel himself settled);
the whip was issued, the party 'called together, the
debate took place, and, on a division, the Governmeat
had—for them—the respectable majority of 21 ; and
Lord Melbourne's Administration, which, if Sir
Robert Peel's prudent advice bad been followed, must
have fallen to pieces within a month, had new life infused
into it, and it continued to live on for two years—tLe
same process of galvanism having been applied to, their
body politic that proved *so successful in the hands of
Professor Whiteside in the recent case. On that occa-
sion the woulb-be leaders who urged on Sir Robert Peel
appealed after the division to the fact that Sir Robert
had settled the terms of the resolution, and that he urged
the party to support it, in order to .make it seem that
the thought originated with himself ; but they suppressed
all allusion to the fact that he warned the party of the
da.ug r they were incurring, and that he prophesied with
the greatest accuracy what would, and what actually
did, occur. There were in those days wringings of hands
at the Car!ton as there are just now—there were curses,
not loud but deep, hurled upon the heads of those who
originated the fa!se move—there are curses, both loud
and deep, at present fulminated against the dented head
of the r4presentative for Enniskillen ; and yet he talks
of being' envied.' There is not, and, despite his over-
weening vanity, he must know it—there is not, I repeat,
so unpopular a person at present. conneoted with the
Conservative party as the' gentleman who had the folly
to boast that a Ministerial majority of 127 did not
amount to a Conservative defeat, but, on the contrary,
was equivalent to a moral triumph.' One more such
triumph, and 'the fee of life will be eternal' in the Pal-
ineiet el Administration.

"Great goal, however, arose from the defeat of Sir
John Buller. It gave Sir Robert Peel complete control
over the party. Even the backsliders of that day ad-
mitted that a premature attempt to displace a Govern-
ment was the surest way to keep them in office.
Whether cr no Mr. Whiteside will learn prudence from
the lesson so dearly purchased on the night of Thursday,
May 1, remains to be seen.
"The division on Sir John Buller's motion is worth
reprinting. On that occasion Ministers voted 303—the
Conservatives 281 On Mr. Whiteside
.s motion the
Government voted precisely the same numbers as on
Sir J. Buller's motion—namely, 303, while the Conser-
vatives could muster only 176 ; and in their ranks could
be found 10 Irish Roman Catholic members, thus leav-
ing the available Conservative force (though by no means
ite actual numbers) at 166."
