THE SUN.
LONDON, -WEDNESDAY, FEB. 1, 1860.

Nothing could well have come before the House
of. Commons more apropos for the public interest
than Mr. LINDSAY'S motion of last evening—
nothing more decidedly mal apropos for those of
Her MAJESTY'S Government. Can there be in any
reasonable mind an instant's doubt of it ? Hardly,
we should presume, if it be only borne in recollec-
tion what, at the present moment, is the very cen-
tral core of the policy of the existing administra-
tion. The heart-of-the-heart of that policy admits
of'being very readily laid bare, and will be recog-
nized, immediately it has been laid bare, to be
perfectly characteristic.

The Coalition, it will be long remembered,
worked its way to power by a dodge the

Whig dodge of Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S reso-
lutions. It is now bent upon retaining its
position in that " coign of 'vantage"—Office, by
another dodge—a dodge quite equal in its clever-
ness to its notable predecessor, which we have but
just now particularised. Upon the success of this
new dodge, moreover, it is curious for a few seconds
to conjecture how very much may really be depen-
dant.From it, almost all the vital questions of the hour
may, be said to radiate. The design then is simply
and quite obviously this—to get the House of Com-
mons (if possible) to commit itself precipitately
to the twin schemes of the Commercial Treaty and
the Financial Statement. It is to this end that the
Terms of the Treaty are withheld, as long as may
be in any way practicable, up to the very eleventh
hour and three-quarters, from the knowledge of
the members of the Lower Branch of the Legis-
ture. The terms of the treaty, in fact, are to be

carefully reserved until they can be explained
simultaneously with the plan of the Budget for
1860. On Monday evening next—and not until
then—the Treaty and the Budget are to be brought
together under the consideration of the Commons
Rouse of Parliament. Recollect for a moment
thatt the Commercial Treaty with France was
acits approval
signed—conditionally, of course, upon
by Parliament but with that
condition attached to it, it was actually
signed at Paris the day before the commencement
of the present session of the Legislature. Yet no-
body out of the sacred circle of the Sixteen, with
atge
its immediate and confidential entour
ei.brac-
lug within it such an alter ego of tleC—b net as
l
the hon. member for Rochdale, who has been
the while, for that matter, in the midst of the
a
dip-
lomatic mysteries at the Court of the Tuileries
in his new capacity as England's Mercantile
Plenipotentiary—no one out of the awful ranks of the
initiated, has yet been vouchsafed a glimpse of the
Treaty itse:ft signed though that Treaty was upon
the day immediately preceding the inauguration of
the pres( int session of Parliament. It cannot in the
least, th,,,refore, be deemed in any way matter for
surprisq that one of the most outspoken of the free
