THE SUN.
LONDON, SATURDAY, JULY 7, 1880.

An effectual termination was put last night in
the House of Commons to the discussion upon its
Privileges. The Resolutions proposed by Lord
PALMERSTON were carried upon a division by a
majority that was absolutely overwhelming. And
no wonder ! For those three consummately adroit
—although utterly powerless and even (as we were
the first to intimate) ungrammatical—Resolutions
were so dexterously introduced to the consideration
of the House of Commons by our veteran Premier,
that they won for themselves the support of men
of all parties above or below the gangway, upon the
Ministerial side or upon the side of Her MAJESTY'S
Opposition. To recognise this, it is only necessary
to glance down the division lists, where, in the huge
majorities, will be found associated amicably
thoroughgoing Independents, like Mr. TIORSMAN '
and Mr. ROEBUCK, together with the leaders
alike of the Opposition, and of the Government.
Nay, evidence enough of the miscellaneous charac-
ter of the supporters of the Prime Minister's Reso-
lutions can be recognised in the mere record of the
contrasting numbers upon the division. The division
of last night--for the first was merely a division
upon the question of the adjournment of the debate,
whereas its successor was a division taken
upon the amendment to the first resolution—showed
an insignificant minority of 52 in favour of the
amendment, against a vast majority of 369 in
favour of the untouched first Resolution. A clear
majority, in fact, of 317, in a house (exclusive of
tellers and Speaker) of 421 members!! It is almost
the only other thing worthy of note, moreover, in
regard to these divisions yesterday in the House of
Commons, that while Mr. BRIGHT voted with the
majority against the adjournment of the discussion
—he quitted the house immediately afterwards,
and took no part whatever in the subsequent divi-
sion—the division upon the amendment to the first
of the three resolutions. His name appears nowhere
in that second division list—although there, as
in the previous majority shine conspicuously the
I?Atrase of the Right Hon. MILNER GIBSON, and of
the Right Hon. W. E. GLADSTONE. This circum-
stance, altogether, is certainly not without its sig-
nificance. The Hon. Member for Birmingham
appears to have felt that the notable speech de-
livered by him last evening, at the close of the dis-
cussion, was, to all inten.s and purposes, and in all
conscience' sufficient. Upon whomsoever
of any uneonstitutiono.l the guilt
concession to the Lords
might devolve, it assuredly could not devolve -upon
him ! e had public' washed his hands of it. •He
had reprobated with all the strength
supplied by his ample vooabu' iof language
arF of Saxon -yn
lish, what he believed, from the firstwhgt
he leelieves still consistently and ' a
unflinchingly to
possibly the last, to be a lamentable, and • b
Y (he
fears
it as
it may prove in the end) a fatal paltering
the inalienable and almost immemorial privileges
of the British House of Representatives! A, vote
other, after that resolute speech,
one way or the
was a matter obi in his estimation; o f su-
preme indifference., .And so Mr. BRIGHT, w'..th a
