THE MINISTERIAL CRISIS.

indefinite position between the Whig and the Con-
servative sections of the Legislature, at the same
time that they give the new Government a general
but independent support. For many years the Con-
servatives themselves have not
presented a more
compact array. Since the election in March they
have been continually receiving accessions, whilst
the bold attitude assumed by their leaders has
raised them in public estimation. Ominous rumours
have been for some time in circulation, and those
who watcked the tide of events had formed the con-
clusion that in their ranks alone are to be found
' the statesmen capable of rescuing England from
the perils with which she is surrounded. During the
short session the weakness of the Palmerston Admi-
nistration was rendered still more plainly apparent.
We say this without any disrespect for the member
for Tiverton, who justly enjoys a high reputation
both for official capacity and his dexterity in the
management of parties. For nearly half a century
has Lord Palmerston taken a prominent part in
public affairs, and as a leader of the House of Com-
mons, although he had many formidable rivals, he
was for a long interval without any superior. Yet
he was the Atlas upon whose shoulders the mini-
sterial experiment rested, and we question whether,
at his advanced age, Lord Palmerston was equal to
the overwhelming labours of his position.
Such will not, however, be the case with the Con-
servative Administration. Lord Derby's name is
indeed a tower of strength ; yet the noble earl will
be supported and assisted in the direction of public
affairs by colleagues of tried experience and ability.
Even as far as the list at present extends, the ad-
vantages secured to the country by recent changes
are evident at a glance. Lord Malmesbury re-
places Lord Clarendon as Foreign Secretary, and
upon the salutary nature of this change we scarcely
need expatiate. To the new Minister the public
areindebted for the formation of that alliance with
France, which though at first derided, afterwards
became the sheet-anchor both of the Coalition and
the Palmerston Cabinets. During Lord Malmes-
bury's short tenure of office our attitude towards
foreign powers was of the most dignified character.
Not a syllable was breathed of that Muscovite
aggression which soon after burst upon Europe ;
and, whilst our honour was maintained in this quar-
ter of the globe, our relations with the great re-
public beyond the Atlantic were placed upon a
proper footing. Nor was this nobleman insensible
to the advantages to be derived from the develop-
ment of our commerce with South America, and
under his able direction a treaty was concluded by
which many privileges were secured. At the Board
of Control, Lord Ellenborough replaces Mr. Vernon
Smith ; the former, one 'of the most prescient and
diligent administrators of any country or period,
and the latter, probably the most incompetent of
public functiou..riPs that ever, in any part
of the globe, aspired to that lofty vocation.
Of Sir Frederick Thesiger's appointment to the
Lord Chancellorship we refer more particularly in
another article. It is the theme of every tongue ;
and we do not believe that a single member of any
party could be named who does not rejoice in the
honours bestowed upon this distinguished member
of the Senate and the bar, and at the same time
admit that a more striking illustration of the right
man in the right place could not by any possibility
be afforded. Mr. Walpole, as Home Secretary,
will prove more efficient than Sir George Grey ; d
the same may be said of the substitution of Mr.
Henley for Lord Stanley of Alderley at the Board
of Trade. The onerous duties of the Secretaryship
of War weighed heavily upon Lord Panmure, and
General Peel will prove not only more vigorous,
but also, we imagine, less devoted to red tape and
routine.

(From the Daily News.)

Intrigue is busy, and at every corner fabulous
tales salute theear. In the resignation of Saturday
last, it is hardly now disguised that there was an
arriere pansee. Lord Derby would not venture, it
was supposed, to undertake the task of forming an
Administration; and upon this delusion the dis-
comfited and dismissed tremblers at the nod of
Louis Napoleon reposed till Sunday night. It then
became generally known that the Conservative
Chief had accepted the task confided to him ; but
the hope remained that he might fail, and to secure
its fulfilment no artifice of rumour was left unem-
ployed. As time wore on, however, and the hope
died out, it hourly became harder to sustain droop.
ing spirits and to invent new difficulties which
might even for the moment look like real. A mas-
terpiece, in its way, of this kind of thing, was the
ungracious perversion of an act in itself every way
honourable and creditable on the part of Lord
Derby's son. With a generous instinct of what was
due to himself and to others under the circum-
stances, Lord Stanley, we believe, spontaneously
waived all personal claims to consideration, and ad-
vised his father to seek Parliamentary strength in
the formation of his Cabinet beyond the circle of
his own family or connexion. Any lower office than
that of Cabinet Minister the noble member for
King's Lynn felt he ought to take, after having
been offered a Secretaryship of State by the late
Premier. But Lord Stanley also felt that the
Whigs had made the imputation of family cabal in-
tolerably odious to the country ; and he wished to
take the opportunity in his own person of showing
that he and his friends were capable of acting in
this report a worthier part. What, then, must be
the state of desperation to which the claqueurs of
Lord Palmerston are reduced when they could tor-
ture such an incident as this into the assertion that
the offers of Lord Derby had been spurned by his
own son i Equally reckless and absurd seems to
have been the reliance placed upon the production
of Lord Cowley's dastardly and disgraceful de-
spatch. The minority who voted in favour of M.
Walewski's insolence being mutely borne were con.
fidently assured that as soon as the contents of the
document in question were known the tables would
be turned, and the majority would feel that they had
been in!the wrong. But we can truly say, that within
our recollection no public letter of an English Minis-
ter, ether at home or abroad, has ever been received
by such an universal cry of shame and scorn. When
Lord Clarendon telegraphed to the Englisham bassa-
dorat Paris for ale tter of credit, he ought to have filled
up the draft himself ; he ought to have known that
Lord. Cowley did not possess the intellect capable
of aditoitly doing the dangerous work he asked hiw;
and for the credit of the name of Wellesley, if not
for the honour of the country, which was at stake,
he ought to have spared him the ignominy of self:
immolation. If the un-English and unmanly paper
laid upon the table on Monday night by Lord Cla-
rendon be not torn to pieces and flung into the dust
by the Commons, the voice of the country, repudi-
ating its base and abject terms, will make itself
heard in a manner not to be disregarded or mistaken.
The conviction is forced upon all candid minds by
the perusal of every craven sentence of Lord Cow-
ley's, that it was high time to make a thtrough
change in our Foreign-office. Stupid and syco-
phantic as it is, no man in his senses would have
written such a letter to Lord Clarendon at such a

juncture if he did not feel it would have been ac-
ceptable. hat it was acceptable is proved by the
fact of its uncalled-for production by the censured.
Secretary for Foreign Affairs. Evidence of incapa-
city to comprehend the national will and character
can no further go.
And now but one resource remains—that of back-
stairs intrigue. Having failed to bully the nation
into fear of the wrath of France, no pains will be
spared to betray the Court into the fatal mistake of
setting at nought the decision of the House of Com-
mons. Once before during the present reign a Mi-
nistry who had been left in a minority in Parlia-
ment were reinstated in office after another Cabinet
had actually been formed. The infelicitous prece-
dent is nowrecurred toin anxious whispers, and what
was done before, it is muttered, may safely be done
again. For the sake of that which is far more precious
than the temporary ascendency of any aristocratic
party, or the passing or rejection of any measure,
however intrinsically important, we sincerely hope
that these insidioussuggestion s nay never be listened
to in high places. Eighteen years have passed since
Sir Robert Peel on presenting himself at the door
of the royal closet found it unexpectedly closed
against him. The Queen was then very young, and
had not been very long upon the throne. Parties
were at the time very evenly balanced. Though a
majority of five on a Jamaica Bill had led to the
resignation of Lord Melbourne, upon the general
policy of the country at home and abroad he still
could claim the approval of the House of Commons.
Is a singularly doubtful case the youthful Monarch
throw her sceptre into the trembling scale, and the
Opposition leader, though surprised and chagrined,
had the wisdom and generosity to acquiesce with-
out an audible murmur.

It might, perhaps, be enough to say that in con-
stitutional practice a deviation such as we have
referred to is all the less likely to happen now be-
cause it has happened before. A loyal and peace-
loving people are accustomed to look leniently upon
the rare and casual exercise of power even when
they disapprove of it ; but the same people are all
the more apt to conceive and express resentment
when the exception threatens to become a rule
Apart, however, from all such considerations the
cases.sought to be paralleled are widely different.
The Ministry of Lord Melbourne was tripped up
by a•vote upon a bill of which not one man in ten
thousand of the population had ever heard, and
about which not one in fifty thousand cared a jct.
The Cabinet of Lord Palmerston has been driven
from power amidst the exultation of the great body
of the people, and by the votes not only of a consi-
derable mojority of the House of Commons, but
by a majority containing nearly every man of Par-
liamentary talent, station, or experience, of every
shade of opinion. It has been hooted off the stage,
not for a blunder in a colonial bill, but for a de-
liberate and conscious abandonment of the first
of administrative duties, that of maintaining the
honour and independence of the nation when pub-
licly called in question. We do not say that the
Austrianism of Lord Clarendon, the impotency of
Mr. V. Smith, and the effrontery of Lord Clan-
ricarde, had not already alienated many of its sup-
porters. Neither do we deny that the tendency to
exclusive aristocratic jobbing in every sphere of
patronage, from the highest to the lowest, had con-
tributed to pave the way for the event which has
at length occurred. But the immediate and specific
cause of that event it is impossible to mistake, and
any doubt as to the national judgment in the matter
would be a fearful error. When the Parliaments of
England contained but few representatives of the
great towns ; when as yet the majority of those
towns were not ; when popular education was a de-
bateable theory, and the daily and weekly press, as
it now exists, had no place in the national being—
when railway locomotion, and the power of concen-
trating tke sympathies of millions at any given mo-
ment by the touch of the electric wire, were unheard
of and unknown—a feud between the Palace of St.
James and the Palace of Westminster might be
provoked with impunity. But times are altered
now, and we should deeply grieve to think that
any man of any party worthy of the name of a
statesman should so betray the first duty imposed
on him by his Privy Councillor's oath as to commit
the Crown to a contest with the House of Commons.
We care not, for our own part, who is Minister, or of
what material the new Administration may be com-
posed. If Lord Derby cannot form a creditable or
a competent Government, there are others unques-
tionably who can. But the Clarendon and Clanri-
(merle Cabinet can only now be reinstated by the
will of the Court and the people will understand,
if that deplorable event should take place, by what
means it has been accomplished.

immediately confined his attention to the rZIS/

paying this graceful compliment to the Peelite
party, the Premier probably wished to show that
the hour for the complete reconciliation between
this brilliant group of political leaders, without fol-
lowers, and the great Conservative party, had ar-
rived. Differences that would justify a continued
estrangement or even separation have all been
removed, and 69 opportunit certainly seemed
favourable for the consideration of an alli-

It will afford the public no small gratification to
learn that the finances of the kingdom are once
more placed under the able direction of Mr. Disraeli,
whose short career of Chancellor of the Exchequer
in 1852 displayed his wonderful aptitude for dealing
with the difficult questions belonging to that depart-
ment. It must be confessed that Sir George Corne-
wall Lewis had been thrust into a position for
which he was not in the least degree qualified. It
is not our intention to insult the new Lord Privy
Seal by instituting a comparison between his lord-
ship and the former occupant. The Earl of Hard-
wicke has already served the state in various capa-
cities, and brings not only strength but honour to
any Administration. Lord Eglinton was the most
popular Lord Lieutenant that ever held his state
in the Castle of Dublin. Proceeding upon a sys-
tem diametrically opposed to that more recently
pursued by Lord Carlisle, the noble earl did more
to tranquillise Ireland, and to allay the fury of par ty
strife, than any occupant of that office. To no
cliques was the smallest favour shown, and the ex-
traordinary impetus given to the Conservative cause
in the sister kingdom may be in a great measure
traced to the benefits of Lord Eglinton's firm but im-
partial rule. The Irish people learned to respect a
Minister above the petty cabala and factious struggles
of the time, and in his noble conduct beheld an
example which they felt they might imitate with
advantage both to themselves and their country.
The Board of Works loses Sir Benjamin Hall,
and, as a compensation, receives Lord John Man-
ners. Everybody acquainted with the new Minister
will allow that the accession of this scion of the
illustrious house of Manners to the vacancy, is, in
every respect, a gain for the public service. Sir
Benjamin, with his pomposity and inflated notions
of self, might make a good member for a Radical
constituency ; but Lord John Manners's devotion
to his duties render him a more useful servant of
the public. Without any disparagement to Earl
Granville, we may state that the Marquis of Salis-
bury will not be less popular or less efficient as
President of the Council. The comparison might
be carried further, but we believe that enough has
been said to show that the new Conservative Ca-
binet contains not only some of the ablest states-
men of the day, but a more brilliant array of effi-
cient, experienced, and high-minded administrators
than are to be found in any of the political parties
into which public men are at present divided.
Reputation, after all, has more to do with these
matters than people are wont to imagine, and a
Cabinet composed of men of honour and integrity
will win its way in spite of factious opposition. In
some of his appointments Lord Palmerston cer-
tainly committed himself, and we are now assured
that this error materially accelerated his fall. Be
that as it may, Ministers mist feel all the more
comfortable and secure in not being put to the
blush on account of their colleagues. The mem-
bers of the new Administration may challenge the
world in this respect. The effect is already ap-
parent. Lord Derby has shown that his principal
aim is to promote the best interests of the stag,
and in order to do this in the best manner the
noble earl has secured the co-operation of some of
its most illustrious members. Signs of increas-
ing confidence appear on every side. Assur-
ances of support have already been received from
quarters that the public would hardly anticipate.
In fact, the conviction gains ground hourly
that Lord Derby, at the head of a Conser-
vative Government, can alone restore the healthy
tone of the constitution, and rescue the state from
the numerous perils by which it is environed. The
Conservative leader is clearly master of the situa-
tion. The new administration will commence its
career with courage and confidence, and we feel
assured that success will crown a course undertaken
in this spirit. The best hopes as well as the was melt
sympathy of all good citizens attend these distin-
guished statesmen, and from one end of the king-
dom to the other a reverent and an affectionate
prayer will be uttered that the efforts of Lord
Derby and his true-hearted colleagues may be
blessed to the maintenance of England's honour,
the advancement of England's glory and the de-
fence and the, dissemination of Christian principles
throughout the whole world.

sure, contributed to his overthrow. Throughout
the country, in all ranks of society, and on both
sides of both houses, it was felt as a public scandal
—as an outrage on public feeling. It has been fol-
lowed by other appointments not less disgraceful,
though less prominent, of which we shall probably
hear more."

c, Within the last few months, it is useless to
deny it, there has been a diminution of Lord Pal-
merston's popularity." How happens it then that
during these "last few months" the Times never
made the discovery. What could have been the
cause of its not having even seemed to suspect that
there was any diminution in the Premier's popu-
larity ? It is all the more strange that the Times
never before now told us a word of the fading popu-
larity of the Prime Minister, when it now coolly
assures us that the fact of this fading popularity
"is easy to account for." The way in which our
contemporary does " account " for the diminished
popularity of Lord Palmerston is certainly any-
thing but creditable to his lordship personally. It
is by charginghim with " favouritism and jobbery."
And then our contemporary proceeds to adduce
illustrations and confirmations of the truth of the
grave accusation.

But the last charge is that to which we wish to
call especial attention. It is that of having ap-
pointed the Marquis of Clanricarde to a seat in the
Cabinet. We, of course, concur with the Times
in regarding that appointment as the very worst
which it would have been possible to make ; but
then the difference between the leading journal and
ourselves is this—that we at the time denounced it
in the strongest language we could employ, and did
not cease to do so until the very day on which the
Palmerston Cabinet received the blow under which
it has fallen ; whereas the Times by its silence seemed
to acquiesce in the propriety of the appointment so
long as Lord Palmerston was supposed to be in the
plenitude of his power, and only turns round and de-
nounces the appointment and condemns the Minister
who made it when that Minister is prostrate and
powerless. There is something un-English in this.
However much we may disapprove of the conduct
of Lord Palmerston in reference to that appoint-
ment, and to other parts of his policy, there is
something in thus striking a man when he is down,
by those who heaped their ful some adulation on him
when in all his glory, against which every generous
feeling revolts, and from which every noble mind
will turn away with abhorrence.
We have been among the most uncompromising
of Lord Paimerston's opponents in reference to the
policy which his Government has pursued in its
relations with the Ruler of France,—because, as the
head of the Government, he was constitutionally
responsible for that policy. Bat now that the
noble lord is under a cloud, we deem it right to say
that, morally, he has been less to blame than Lord
Clarendon. We have the best reason for believing
that, in our intercourse with the French Govern-
ment, Lord Palmerston has of late surrendered his
own judgment and feelings too much to the Foreign
Secretary. The truckling, ignoble, anti-English
policy we have pursued in relation to Imperialism
in France, has been inspired, unless we grievously
err, incomparably more by the Foreign Secretary
than by the Premier. If any doubt could pre-
viously have existed on that point, it must have
been removed by Lord Cowley's despatch to Lord
Clarendon, published in our paper of yesterday.
The Foreign Secretary is obviously the party
responsible for not having answered the insulting
despatch of Count Walewski ; while the reasons
which Lord Clarendon assigns for not having re-
plied to it, are the most puerile and feeble that
could be imagined. A fear of offending the sus-
ceptibilities of the French Government, is the chief
reason given by the Foreign Secretary for his silence.
Did any consideration of that kind prevent Count
Walewski from calumniating and assailing us ?
Our silence, so far from making matters better, had
a necessary tendency to make them worse. It was
construed into a fear of France. It was inferred
that we would submit with inglorious tameness to
any indignities which the Imperial Government
thought fit to put upen us. And accordingly we
soon had a practical proof furnished us, that the
Imperial Government flattered itself it might insult
us with impunity, by the insolent menaces from
French Colonels with which the pages of the
illoniteur teemed for a succession of days.
As the apology of Louis Napoleon has not yet
found its way into the Moniteur, we have no means
of knowing whether or not the swaggering Colonels
who lately figured so prominently in the plenitude
of their Bobadilism, in its columns, are aware that
he has repudiated their braggadocio, and conse-
quently rebuked themselves. But the faot must
before long transpire, that Louis Napoleon
has thrown them overboard. There can ba
no doubt as to the result. Their fierce
animosity towards England will give place to a
settled and sullen hatred of the man who has thus,
in the face of Europe, affronted him. Conse-
quently, instead of his continuing master of the
army, the army will become his master. He will
be at its mercy ; and therefore it is probable that
the very army which he has pe'ted and pampered,
and on which his whole reliance has hitherto
been placed, will become the instrument of his
destruction.

In the meantime, it is not unlikely that, with
the view of propitiating his incensed army, Louis
Napoleon will be prepared to do anything which
he may suppo3e agreeaLle to it ; and as the inva-
sion of England is, of all things, that which would
be most congenial to the tastes of the army, it
behoves the Government and people of this country
not to lose a moment in making every possible
preparation for such a contit gency,

HEALTH OP LONDON DURING TBE WEEK,

(From, the Report of the Registrar General.)

The deaths registered in London, which in the
previous week were 1,195, rose in the week that
ended last Saturday (Feb. 20th) to 1,275. In the
ten years 1848-57 the average number of deaths
in the weeks corresponding with last week was
1,164, but, as the deaths of last week occurred in an
increased population, they should be compared
with the average, when the latter has been raised
in proportion to the increase.--a correction which
will give 1,280. The number of deaths actually
returned agrees very closely with the number ob-
tained by calculation.
By comparing the results of the last two weeks
it will be seen that the deaths caused by zymotic
diseases were successively 241 and 230, the cor-

average for last week being 282 ; those caused

being 539 ; the deaths from " developmental"
diseases were respectively 145 and 141, the aver-
age being 146 ; and " violent deaths were 45 and
25 in the two weeks, the average being 33. Hence
it appears that the mortality from zymotic diseases
has been nearly stationary during the fortnight,
and that the same remarkholds with regard to those
of the developmental class. The increase under two
other heads arises from phthisis, which rose in the
two weeks from 130 to 158 ; from convulsions, which
rose from 34 to 43 ; from diseases of the brairs,
which rose from 8 to 19 ; and from diseases of the
heart, which rose from 39 to 53. The continuance
of cold weather does not appear to have raised the
mortality of bronchial disease within the period re-
ferred to, for, though the mean temperature of the
last fortnight was only 34 deg., or about 4 deg.
below the average, bronchitis was fatal in the two
weeks in 193 and 191 cases ; pneumonia in 104 and
102. But the mortality of bronchitis is considerably
