what: were the results of the change ? Themoment -

like sufferance in Ys rnle,-eandeinithe ocagasteat.
Itlaiout ten Months the ConservatiViatiailialsat
eatomplished more real good-than their. predecessors •
had done in five years. The results of only four
months of Conservative rule are thus summed up
by an impartial chronicler :—" By the end of June
all the 'measures which the Government had pro-
peised to :pass during the present Parliament had
been disposed of. In this number were included
several bills of great practical utility and
idaportance. Short as the session was, and
unbreken at its commencement by inter-
ruptions, consequent on ministerial changes, it
proved unusually prolific in legislative results.
This circumstance having reflected credit on the new -
Government, which, however inferior in official
experience to the Cabinet it displaced, unquestion-
ably proved itself much superior in the art of
getting through business. It was alleged, on the
other hand, by Lord Derby's opponents, that his
Administration was not justly entitled to much
Credit in this respect, seeing that they had found
the measures of which they boasted prepared to
their hands by their predecessors in office To this
assertion it was an obvious rejoinder that, although
the Whig party might know how to project measures,
their recent official career proved that they had
Very little ability to carry them.
' " The principal laws of public importance added
to the statute-book between the accession of L zcl.
Derby to office and the dissolution of Parliament
were—the Militia Act, the New Zealand Constitu-
tion Act, several measures of reform in the courts
of law and equity, including an act to diminish the
technicalities of special pleading, and to amend the
procedure in the common law courts ; an act to
remedy some of the long-standing grievances in the
PBurt of Chancery by abolishing the office of the
Masters, and other changes ; and an act to extend
the jurisdiction of the county courts. In addition-
to these there were several acts for important
Sanitary objects—for improving the supply. of water
to the metropolis, and for restricting intramural
interments therein."
If such were the result of only four months of a
;Government upon sufferance, it would be a blessing
;for England always to be ruled iu this manner, and
as soree•of our contemporaries have a passion for
quotations, we venture to recommend the above to
their particular consideration. The Conservatives,
many of them being without official experience,
accomplished greater things than the Whigs with
all their training and pretended dexterity. The
former set earnestly to work, success attended their
exertions, the various interests of the country
prospered, our relations with foreign powers were
of the most friendly character, and legislation, in
all its various branches, was at once dignified aud.
honest.
To rescue the state from similar perils, and tare-
store prosperity at home and harmony abroad, the
Conseivatives pace more accede .to .power. noir
mission is, as 'we have before stated, to govern. In
every department the healthy functions of good.
government have now been for some time sus-
pended. Not only are they more powerful, as re-
gards following anjoi ability than they were in 1852,
but their chiefs podbess greater experience ; whilst
the remembrance of their previous short but judi-
cious rule renders them popular amongst all classes.
The fallacy that the Conservatives are obstructive&
cannot any longer delude. People know from their
former achievements what is to be expected from
their firm and vigorous administration of affaira.
Hence Lord Derby assumes the direction under the
most favourable auspices. The ranks of his followers
have received considerable accessions of strength
since his last Premiership ; and never did better
feeling or greater harmony prevail amongst them.
New friends appear from every side, and even oppo-
nents profess sympathy and promise suppOrt. In
fact, the conviction gains ground hourly that Lord
Derby is master of the situation. The noble earl
will this evening, in his place in Parliament, explain
the manner in which his Administration has been
formed, as well as the principles upon which it will
be conducted, and these will be found conducive to
the advancement and prosperity of England, to the
peace and security of Europe, and to the mainte-
nance of Christianity and the spread of civilisation
throughout the world. •

discovered,. for the first time, that it was as likely
Lord Palmerston had acted wrong as right, in not
answering Count Walewski's despatch. On the
Monday thereafter the Times, having good reason
to believe that Lord Derby would form a Ministry,
had the audacity to, threaten him with that very
Reform Bill, which had been doing ifs best to pooh-
pooh for months before.- "Then domes the great
question of Parliamentary Reform. The House of
Commons and the whole party are committed to
the measure.. Will Lord Derby declare against it,
or take it up and make it his own ?" On the Tues-
day, the Times rated Lord Palmerston for his ap-
pointment of Lord Clanricarde, and complained of
" the spectacle of the aristocracy 'fastening With a
kind- of rapacity on -minor offices ;" taking care,
however, to. add that these "blunders" cannot,
"be weighed against-the great services which Lord
Palmerston has rendered his country." On the
Wednesday the Reform epiestion was again had re-
course to.. "So before long we shall all be,brought
round to the old question, what is- to be done ?'
and the statesmen .who answer this most to the '
satisfaction of the public will be likely to' carry the
day. There may be no urgent demand for the
India Bill,, and China may, be. reeignel to. the
Plenipotentiaries out there ;` Vtite- ns"fOr -this
Reform- Bill, there seems no: escaping. it. What
will Lord Derby do 1" On the- Thursday :the
Tinier had actually, got the length of describ-
ing 'Count -Waleveski's despatch as " outrage-
ously insolent," and twitting Earl Grey. •with
his conservative notions. ,The Times had, now,got
the length of glorying in its' " low Radical Vietvs,"
and declaring that, gg Ifewe wish to establish our
4preseutatioil 34,744[4...ba5i5map47 have. Isom
definite principle to appeal to, we'must tectoghise
the extension of the franchise to all-who can exer-
cise it with safety, and the removal of the scandal-
ous
disproportion between the constituencies." 'On
the Friday the Times proved with great ability that
the conspirators against the life of the French
Emperor who have just received sentence have
scarcely resided in England at all, and condes-
cended to notice, for the first time, the illegality of
the capture and detention of the Cagliari. And on
the Saturday the Times raised its indignant voice
against those aristocratical cabals to check, if not to
displace Sir Colin Campbell, at which it had con-
nived, so long as the Palmerston-Clarendon party
remained in office.
This is pretty well for the organ of the ex-Minis-
try during the first week of their relegation to the
Opposition benches. Already has it recanted all
it has been preaching for months back. Already has
it shown practically how sincere was its conviction
that "if Lord Palmerston, Sir G. Grey, and the
Minister's generally, found themselves on the other
side, they would do the duties of that position as
well they are now doing their own ; ' and how
ready it is to " change sides the day after," and
" improve on the arguments of its yesterday's op-
ponents." Lord Darby and his colleagues will
commit a fatal mistake if they imagine that the
arguments anddeclamations of the Times on these
topics can be answered satisfactorily by a tit quoque
But the Palmerston-Clarendon patty are equally
mistaken if they imagine that the country will 'be
contented to see them restored to office merely be-
cause they for the moment talk loudly against that
which they have been doing for years, and will do
again if replaced on the Treasury benches. Through
their organ, the Times, they have given the people
to understand that, however they may talk when
in Opposition, they are unalterably of opinion
that Governments are obliged to take only
one side"—that is the side they have taken during
their whole tenure of office. Now, the people want
men who will not only declaim against oligarchical
rapacity and cowardly sacrifices of the national
honour, and in favour of Parliamentary Reform,
when in Opposition, but who will act when in pos-
session of power as they'spoke before they obtained
it. They will not, therefore, be satisfied with such
a make-believe Opposition as Lord Palmerston will
assuredly be the head of. If the new Mioisters will
not act in conformity to the opinions and sentiments
of the people, the people are determined to seek for
men who will. They know that Lord Palmerston
and his colleagues will not, and they will therefore
stand aloof from any opposition of the ex-Preanier
and his colleagues. Of this the independent mem-
bers of the louse of Commons may rest assured.
They may injure themselves by becoming the
followers of Lord Palmerston or Lord Clarendon,
,ut they capnot help xttgirefthem.-
(From the Morning Herald.)
In a remarkably short apace of time has Lord
Derby succeeded in forming a strong Administra-
tion, and this success, and the satisfactory manner
in hich it has been accomplished, are as gall and
wormwood to his most determined opponents.
From the hour that the noble earl was summoned ,
by our gracious Sovereign till his task was finished,
absurd rumours have been in circulation and
numerous false reports invented. At the first
mention of a Conservative Administration the
great lights of the political world affected in-
credulity, and declared the thing impossible. It
was evident, according to their notions, that
Lord Derby had not the slightest chance of com-
pleting his arrangements. Sir Frederic Thesiger
would not be a party to such proceeding, and
accordingly the Conservative leader must look
elsewhere for a Chancellor. Yet this difficulty
did not prove so formidable as these detractors
imagined, and when Sir Frederic's acceptance of
the high office was announced their fury knew
no bounds. Foiled, but not vanished, they
speedily found another obstacle to success. Lord
Stanley, it was clear, could have nothing what-
ever to do with the venture. Although a dis-
tinguished ornament of the Conservative party,
the member for King's Lynn was, according to the
representations of these interested individuals, to
secede the moment it came into power. People
perceived the absurdity of the story, yet many
were deluded until the anjtouncernent of Lord
Stanley's as Colonial Minister at once demolished
this false report. Sir John Pakington was the
next personage to prove refractory. Nothing, it
was stated, could induce this legislator, who held
office with credit under Lord Dery in 1852, to re-
peat the dangerous experiment. This bubble soon
burst, and Sir E. L. Bulwer Lytton was then repre-
sented as the cruse of embarrassment. The non-
appearance of this distinguished man's name in the
list of the new Ministry seemed to give colour to
the assertion. From our adversaries even this
source of consolation has been, however, removed.
Sir E. L. Bulwer Lytton declined a seat in the
Cabinet solely because he did not wish, at this
juncture, to put the county which he represents to
the excitement and inconveniences of a contest.
The refusal of certain members of the Peelite party,
and of Earl Grey to undertake the responsibilities
of office, flattered the selfish misgivings of Lr,rd
Derby's opponents, but they altogether lost sight
of the fact that these distinguished members of the
Senate replied to the Conservative leader's ad-
vances in the most friendly manner, and with ex-
pressions of good-will and approval.
• With extraordinary facility the Government has
been formed, and thus the gloomy forebodings of
disappointed critics and jealous opponents have not
been fulfilled. Their prophecies were based upon
their hopes ; they predicted as inevitable that which
they fondly desired would come to pass. It is one
of the inconveniences of our representative and free
system that the public should be condemned to live,
more or less, in an atmosphere of delusions ; and one
fallacy is no sooner destroyed than another . arises
in its place. Hence idle report found a fresh chan-
nel, and rumour appeared in a different form.
The
list of Lord Derby's Administration is completed.

many quarters, but little heed is fortunately paid
to them,for threatened men often live long, and
determined to fulfil their duties faith-
fully, and without fear of opposition, may look to
the people for support. Moreovor, the Ministerial
experiments of the last few years, all of which have
emanated from the 'Whig, Liberal, and Radical
sections of the Legislature, have not tended to the
advancement of the credit of our rulers, or to give
the pulalic a favourable idea of their interference.
From a portion of the opposition press, and from
many political opponents, both in and out of Par-
liament, Lord Derby and his colleagues meet not
only with fair treatment, but even with promises
of an independent support. Impartial men feel
that in this emergency the new Ministers are en-
titled to the gratitude, as well as to the confidence
of the community ; for had they refused to grasp
the helm the vessel of the state must have drifted
