LONDON, SATURDAY, JUNE 12, 1858.

BOMBA has yielded ! The temperate but firm
demand of the British Government for compensa-
tion for its injured subjects has at length been
conceded ; and PARK and WATT will receive
3,000/. sterling as damages for the false imprison-
ment and horrible sufferings which they endured
in the Neapolitan dungeons. The honour of the
British nation is thus vindicated. Our country-
men have not only been protected, but have had
their grievous wrongs redressed. The subject
which threatened hostilities that might have led
to an European war has. been settled, and that
through the resolution, combined with courtesy,
of our present Minister for Foreign Affairs !
Nor is this alll The Cagliari, with all its
crew, have been placed at the disposal of Queen
VICTORIA, and it is needless to say that the vessel
will be returned to its lawfulthe

'DISRAELI announced that
the command of the same Sardinian captain,
manned by the same Sardinian crew, and
under the general superintendence of Mr.
BA.RBAR, who displayqd so much spirit and

ability throughout the entire affair, will sail to
Genoa, and there Mr. BARBAR will deliver the
Cagliari and its crew to the authorities of the
King of Sardinia." This is truly satisfactory,
and fully merited the protracted cheering from all
parts of the House with which the statement was
greeted. It proved that the nation has had, in-
deed, reason to rejoice in the substitution
of Lord MALMESBUB.Y for Lord CLARENDON,
and at the " firmness, combined with con-
ciliation and a sense of justice," which
removed the dark cloud lowering on the political
atmosphere, and given an additional guarantee
for prolonged peace and tranquillity to Europe.

The Sardinian crew will, of course, receive
adequate compensation. What has been conceded
to the English Engineers can scarcely be refused
to them. This is the more likely, inasmuch as
Lord MALUESBURY declared his belief that what
had occurred would " put an end to the contro-
versy between the three Governments !"

The Times, with its usual impartiality(?), speaks
of the transaction as " one of those runs of hick
which often turns the head and empties the
pockets of speculative residents at Baden or
Homberg," thus striving to undervalue the con-
duct which so strongly contrasts with that of its
protvie Lord CLARENDON. The diplomatic skill
and ability so conspicuously displayed, was not,
however, mere chance as the leading journal seeks
to imply. It was like the good fortune of
" Saladin the lucky" in Miss Edgeworth's tale,
who ought to have been termed " Saladin the
Prudent," while the CLARENDON failure arose
from the same causes, as those of his prototype
" Mutad the Unlucky." Such will be the feeling
of the community at large. And we should really
wish that there could be another Buckingham-
shire banquet, in order that Mr. DISRAELI might
make a second speech similar to that which called
forth the indignation of PALMERSTON, RUSSELL,
CLARENDON, and Co.

The statements made by the Chancellor of the
Exchequer and the First Lord of the Admiralty
in reference to the national defences will also be
perused with unmitigated gratificatioi. While
maintaining the most amicable relations with the
French Government, and, indeed, with every
continental state, the obvious duty of providing
for the security of Great Britain, and being enabled
to vindicate her honour, has not been disregarded.
Without in any degree doubting the loyalty or
good faith of any potentate, every suitable pre-
paration has been made. Sir JOHN PAKINGTON
declares that " we could, at the shortest notice,
assemble in the Channel a fleet which would
be able to cope with any that any other
Power in Europe could send out." These state-
ments, coupled with the Cagliari affair, were
ample justification of the vote that displaced
Lord PALMERSTON, and the policy of the indepen-
dent Liberals who refused to join in a factious
movement for the purpose of constituting him a
political dictator, and restoring the despot-loving
CLARENDON to the Foreign-office.

We have gone pretty carefully through the
division list on the ballot ; and, if we are not mis-
taken, it stands thus—TWO HUNDRED AND
TWENTY-TWO voted for it ; these must all
have been honest Liberals, or must have repre-
sented constituencies whose liberalism was too
decided to be trifled with.
About SIXTY professed Liberals voted against
the Ballot ; amongst these the two Liberal ex-
Premiers, and two of their Chancellors of
the Exchequer. To these some may be
disposed to add about forty " Liberal Con-
servatives," as they register themselves at the
hustings or in DOD. Gentlemen whom it is
hardly possible fairly to reckon as Liberals—most
of them putting that epithet on their electioneer-
ing cards, simply for electioneering purposes. Of
those who pass for Liberals, like Lord PALMER-
STON himself, it would be difficult indeed to say in
what respect they are more liberal than many of
the present Ministry. If, therefore, we give half
the Liberal-Conservatives to the Whigs, and the
other half to the Tories, we shall deal fairly, we
presume, with all parties. Of the hundred and
fifty, or so, who stayed away, it is almost idle
t form an estimate. We must reckon the strength
of a cause in the House of Commons, by the num-
berswlio can be whipped up on both sides.

We appeal, then, to the simple fact of this divi-
sion, as a proof that the Liberal party and its
former leaders have parted company. The latter
may have been great men in their day, and may
have done good service ; but, it is quite clear that
they are polttically superannuated. When the party
they nominally belong to divides on a testing question

into two sections ; when these superannuated
politicians head but eighty followers, and the
rising Liberal party musters two hundred and
twenty-two, it- is plain that their reign is at an
end. We regret it. We like old names, and we
dislike even the appearance of political ingrati-
tude; but we can no more afford to„go back again
to PALMERSTON and RUSSELL liberalism, than we
can revert to the stage coach and the old telegraph
stationed on the lofty hill. Excellent they were
in comparison with what preceded them, and
PALMERSTON and RUSSELL were excellent, com-
pared with the CASTLEREAGH; SIDMOUTII; and
LIVERPOOL; but in a free nation political pro-
gress can no more stand still than mechanical
invention.

But what is to be done ? some will ask us.
We reply in two words—Our duty. England
expects nothing more, but it does expect this of
evezy Liberal. The vast body of the electors,
and of the nation, are liberal ; emphatically so.
They agree with the two hundred and twenty-
two, and not with the two hundred and
ninety-four, made up of sixty so-called Liberals,
and 234 Conservatives of all shades. They ex-
pect that the majority of nearly two-thirds of the
Liberal party shall lead the other third. They
hear the sixty and their scribes in the press con-
tinually ridiculing the DERBY Government for
attempting to lead the House of Commons, though
in a confessed minority ; yet the two Whig Lords
and the Whig official clique would assume the
lead of the Liberal party, while commanding a
much less minority in it, than Lord DERBY
does in the House of Commons I Since
the division of Tuesday night the Whig
leaders (as they think themselves) must
either cease to taunt the Tories with governing by
a minority, or must renounce their own claim to
govern through the Liberal party.
We do not make those remarks with much hope
that our late haughty and conceited Whig leaders
are open to conviction. They may be ; but Lord
JOHN told us on Tuesday that he does not
think it creditable for a man like him to change.
He thought Sir ROBERT PEEL somewhat damaged
himself by it ; in which the country certainly
does not agree with Lord JOHN. The nation
honours Sir ROBERT PEEL for being opm to rea-

son, and, to that grand argument, for a Statesman,
the wishes of his country. It deplores in Lord
JOHN the obstinacy of the dogged aristocrat, and
contrasts him with the Minister who sprang from
the people, and who, in heart, always sympathised
with them. It compares, with sadness, the can-
did Toryism of the cotton-spinner's son with the
unfeeling
Whiggism of the younger 8011 of nobi-

lity of not the noblest origin—of nobility en-
riched by despotism, flinging to its favourites the
spoils of the State Church.

Whether haughty Whiggism will relax or not,
we believe the country cares but little. If the old
captains may be trusted, if they will not prove to
us like GEORGEY to the Hungarians, we should
gladly welcome their aid ; but of one thing we are
quite sure, that, with two hundred and twenty
real liberal votes at command, the country expects
now to see the formation of a determined Liberal
party. From the days of Mr. GROTE, the Ballot
has never been pressed as a grave matter of busi-
ness—we mean in the House of Commons. It
has not been fought for there, as if we were
determined to win ; not fought for as
Church-rate Abolition and Jewish Emancipation,
too, have been. Hence the different position of
the two questions. The country has cared far more
aboutthe ballot than about either of these. Indeed,
it has known full well that any House elected by
the ballot would have settled both those questions,
and some others too, probably in the first, cer-
tainly in the second year of its existence. What
waste of time in annual motions and debates
would the ballot save ! We must now demand
that quite a different course be pursued. The
Liberals who vote for the Ballot must not only
vote for it, but avow their resolve not to support,
as leaders of their party, any Ministry which
will not take up their cause. It must be
distinctly announced that the next Liberal Ministry
shall be one which includes the absolute indepen -
dence of the voter, as secured by really secret
voting, in its programme. It must take office
pledged to force it, even through the Lords, or to
resign, and leave the refractory Lords to " carry
on the QUEEN'S Government" as they best can.
The case is a simple one. The people have a right
to representation. They say we are not repre-
sented unless we vote secretly. It is for us, not
for the Lorth, to say under what conditions we are
fairly represented. We demand, therefore, a
Ministry which can give us our rights, and bid
the Lords to be content with the quite sufficient
privilege of representing themselves.

The intelligence from India is very, satisfac,
tory. Everything is going on as well as could
be anticipated. The dates are from Bombay to
the 19th, and Bareilly to the Bth May. Bareilly
itself was captured on the 6th May, the rebels
making but a faint resistance, and suddenly having
dispersed on the approach of our troops. On that
day Brigadier JONES entered the town, and was
followed on the 7th by Sir COLIN CAMPBELL, who
had defeated a strong party of rebels at the Nut-
teeza Bridge on the sth. The gallant General
PENNY however has fallen, adding to the number
of victims of high military rank who have fallen
since the outbreak. He received his death wound
on the 4th May by grape shot from guns on the
road. These guns were subsequently captured
by a party of Carabineers, who charged
up to their very muzzles, but unfortunately
too late to avert the calamity. We also learn
that " a detachment of 600 of her MAJESTY'S 2d
Regiment, left to garrison Shahjehanpore, was
surrounded by 8,000 of the enemy, with 15 guns,
but no fear was entertained of their safety, as
General JONES had left Bareilly on the Bth of
May, and would be able to relieve them on the
11th." The effect of this is that " Rohilcund
is now entirely in our hands, and amnesty has
been published and tranquillity is being restored.
Oude is also becoming quiet, and the
landholders are tendering their submission."
Similar success has attended the arms of Sir
HUGH ROSE, who advanced on Kw:nos on the 7th
of May, and completely defeated the enemy, killing
700 and capturing seven guns. He was within 14
miles of Calpee on the 14th May, and it was ex,
pected. that Calpee would be attacked on the 16th.
A village in Central India was also stormed after
an obstinate resistance by a detachment from
General ROSE'S force, under Colonel GALL, on the
Ist of May, the whole adult male inhabitants
being put to the sword. KooER SINGH has died
of his wounds. Sir HOPE GRANT, with a strong
force, was guarding the road between Cawnpore
and Luckno w.• Sir EDWARD LUGARD had relieved
Arrah on the 2d May, and intended to attack
Jugdepore on the 11th, while Gen. WHITLOCK
was at Banda on the Bth, awaiting the arrival of the
infantry under his command, whom he had out-
marched. On their arrival he would march on to
Calpee to join Sir HUGH ROSE in the attack
thereon.

There is now every reason to anticipate that the
pacification of the disturbed provinces may speedily
be effected, and British supremacy completely
restored. Our officers and soldiers have, indeed,
faithfully discharged their arduous duties, and
have nobly merited the rewards and honours
which will, we trust, be showered on them by
their grateful country.

Sir James Duke paired in favor of Mr. Locke King's
motion on the County Franchise with Mr. Beresford.
We have received by telegraph from Norwich intel-
ligence that Sir Edward North Buxton, M.P. for East
Norfolk, died yesterday morning at Colne-houe, Cromer.
Sir Edward's health had for some time been delicate,
and he obtained leave of absence about a fortnight since.
The hon. baronet, who sank from a complete prostra-
tion of the system, was in his 49th year. In politica he
was a moderate Liberal. The vacancy in the represen-
tation will probably be contested. Sir Henry Stracey
recently published an address declaring his intention to
come forward as a Conservative candidate on the first
opportunity.
Lord Malmesburyhas filled up the mission to Tuscany
left vacant by the strange flight of Mr. Howard, by ap-
pointing as his successor Mr. Lyons, who has just con-
ducted with so much address the unofficial negotiations
with Naples. Mr. Lyons has been long attached to the
mission at Florence, filling the very responsible post of
the resident, though unaccredited, representative of
Great Britain at Rome, and is thoroughly acquainted
with the politics of the Italian Peninsula. He is the
eldest son of Lord Lyons, and first entered the diplo-
matic service as Attache at Athens in Feb., 1839.
We have reason to believe that a circular has been
issued by Lord Derby to his supporters, which announces
the intention of the Government to offer no further op-
position to the admission of the Jews to Parliament.
While thus conceding the political expediency of this
admission, Lord Derby seizes the occasion to reiterate
his moral conviction that the Jews ought not to sit in
Parliament.— Times.

THE GREAT CHISWICK HORTIOULTURAL EXHIBITION.—
Messrs. John Weeks and Co., of the King's-road,
Chelsea, as usual, exhibited several sizes of their powerful
tubular hot water boilers, of the same construction as
those fixed by them at Messrs. Henderson's nursery,
and also at many other large establishments—now so
generally known as " Weeks's one boiler system." They
also exhibited some very superior brass valves for stop-
ping the circulation of hot water ; also various forms of
pedestals and stacks of pipes, showing that a hot water
apparatus can be made ornamental, of various designs,
suitable for conservatories, entrance-hall, or even for
a drawing-room. They also exhibited on endless variety
of models and drawings cf conservatories, some of very
elegant design ; also other horticultural buildings for
any required purpose ; and various specimens of materials
and workmanship of a very superior character.
A correspondent of the Ohdtenham Examiner calls at-
-tent!on to the practice now bee.)ine fashionable at the
Rttville Spa, of ladies taking boat exercise on the lake.
He says :—" There is no exercise that I know of more

to see parties of ladies thus amusing themselves by the
