WHO WAS IT?

The discussion on Mr. CAB.DWELL'S motion has
been again adjourned, and it is fortunate that
such has been the case. Fresh information has
come to hand, which will be found in another
column, and which will render it im-
possible for any professing Liberal, to vote in
favour of the factious resolution. Mr. BRIGHT'S
brilliant oration of last night has removed the
last doubt that could be entertained on the point.

He showed that the real matter in dispute
WAS not the welfare or safety of India—
the vindication or glorification of Lord
CANNING—but simply whether the present
Government were to remain in office or to be re-
placed by their predecessors. It was determined
that a desperate attempt should be made before
Whitsuntide. Sone topic should be discovered
to get rid of the present Cabinet, and to subst'a
tate the family clique—strengthened by the un-
expected adhesion of Lord Jourr Russlera. and
the tribe of GRIM and ELLlorrs—" whose name

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Who was it prigged a letter not meant
For him, but was to a Minister sent,
And kept to himself the whole content ?
Was it Hoop-de-dooden-do ?

Who also thought he'd give a co-py ;
Then thought he would'nt, he was so shy,
And " afraid of impertinence" ? Oh, what a lie !
Was it lloop-de-dooden-do ?

Oh, can't you tell me that man's name
Who cares not a straw for his fair fame,
Thinks nothing of honour and nothing of shame ?
Is it Hoop-de-dooden-do

I thought you could tell me the name forthwith
Of the man who alone doth know the pith
Of the letter : I tell you it rhymes with myth.
Not Hoop-de-dooden-do,
