J. D. DICKENSON, Secretary.

none of the north country borough members who
have supported Lord Palmerston's bill would stand
even the least chance of being returned. A public
meet ng has been callod for Tuesday night ; and
the best evidence'of the condition of opinion is the
fact that the first name that is attached to
the requisition calling the meeting is the vener-
able Dr. Headlam, who for a great number of years
was the leader' of the Liberalq, and that every
Liberal paper in the town and district have indig-
nan ly repudiated Lord Paemerston's conduct in
b inning in the bill.

NORWICH, SATURDAY.
The defeat of Lord Palmerston on his pet French
lonels Bill has been the great topic of conversa-
tion here to-clay. It is felt that the verdict of the
House of Commons, that his lordship has been
wanting to the national honour, is one which his
reputation cannot survive, especially as the jury,
so to speak, was one most favourable to him, and
may a'most be said to have been impannelled by
himself. The old cry of " conspiracy" cannot be of
any service to the Government in this case.

NOTTINGHAM, SATURDAY.
The news of the defeat of this bill'vras received
in this town to-day with unqualified satisfaction,
men of nearly all sha/les of political opinion viewing
with disdka this despotic and au-English measure.

SHEFFIELD,
SATURDAY.
The defeat of the Government is here regarded
with general satisfaction. Astonishment is ex-
pressed that a statesman of Lord Palmer ton's pro-
fession.; should have so coulmitted himself as to
introduce the Conspiracy Bill and support it with
spteches in praise of a de:ipotic Government. A
meeting against the bill is announced to take place
Monday, and, if not countermanded in consequence
of this news, will be very large and influential.

OXFORD, SATURDAY.
The true English feeling of the House of Com-
moi,s in throwing out the Consp►racy to Murder
Bill, on Friday night, was an agreeable surprise to
the Oxoniarr, and this feeling was fully partici-
pated in by the farmers and country people ati end-
ing the market on Saturday. Mr. Langstou's vote
for the un:Engl:sh b:11 of Lord Pal►nerston has
given great offence to his constituents of all classes.

SOUTHAMPTON, SATURDAY.
The news of the defeat of Government took every
one by surprise this morning. Lord Palmerston
has always been popular here, but the impression
atnougst a great p,rtion of the Southampton liberal
party is that his course has been headlong lately,
and that he required a check.

seaspnableness of the opportunity, and not the
merits of the measure, or will he, on the other
hand, join the phalanx which supports the Com-
pany, and re-establish or prolong the present
system ? Then comes the great question of Parlia-
mentary Reform. The House of Commons and
the whole Libnal party are committed to the mea-
sure. Will Lord Derby declare against it, or take
it up and make it his own ? We have no concep-
tion of the policy to be pursued by the C mserva-
tive leader, but we do not doubt that he relies upon
a dissolution as one of the expelients in the
hazardous political enterprise which he has just
undertaken.

(From the Morning Post.)
In consequence of the vote of censure passed on
Friday night by the House of .Commons, a Cabinet
Council was held on Saturday afternoon. The
Ministers were unanimous. It was impossible to
hold office for one moment under the imputation
of having betrayei.the honour of England. Lord
Palmerston at once proceeded to Buckingham
Palace to place in the hands of the Queen the col-
lective resignation of the members of the Adminis-
tration. As was most natural under the circum-
stances, the interview resultsd in her Majesty's
sending for Lord Derby, who immediately rep sired
to the Palace. Yesterday he again saw the Queen,
and he has undertaken the construction of an
Administration.
This afternoon Lord Palmerston will announce
to the House of Commons the step which he has
taken, and an adjournment of the house till Thurs-
day or Friday will be moved, in order to give Lord
Derby time for the completion of his arrangements.
Such is the morning's news. We think that it
will prove as surprising as unwelcome to the coun-
try. The most popular Minister since the days of
Pitt suddenly falls, the victim of an unreasoning
freak of faction. We will not impute, in this in-
stance, to the majority any scheme of coalition. It
is not a bargained banding together of parties, but
it is again the "fortuitous concourse of " atoms" of
the Chinese debate. Those atoms, possessing each
but atoms of support in the country, then combined
to censure Lori. Palmerston for upholding the hon-
our of England against "the inoffensive Chinese."
They meet again to condemn the Government for
equally upholding the national honour, in remedy-
ing a defect in our laws, and in showing some grain
of sympathy for the lives of Rove' eigns in . alliance
with ourselves, and for the prosperity of neighbour-
ing countries.
Lord Palmerston--of all men, Lord Palmerston
—it is pretended, has sacrificed the honour of Eng-
land. Lard John Russell is the judge, who slunk,
cowed, from 'Vienna. Mr. Gladstone is the judge,
who deserted his colleagues and his responsibilities
in the most trying moment of the Crimean war.
Mr. Disraeli is the judge, who, when hat in office,
knew how to face even the smallness of the Grand
Duke of Tuscany. Fitting judges, who found in
Mr. Milner Gibson a fitting executioner. For this
gentleman—the very incarnation of Radical
" funk," the apostle of peace at any price—it was
reserved to stand up as the champion of Brumma-
gem blustering. The advodate of submission to
invasion—" for they would let us work our mills"
—is the suitable representative of false honour and
grotesquepatriotism. His, however, is the triumph,
and the man whose name was a necessity at every
election but a few months ago succumbs to indivi-
dual resentment and the abiding envy of faction.
It is exactly three years since Lord Palmerston
assumed the office of Prime Minister. We need not
here record the acts of his Government. It is not
forgotten now, and it will live in history hereafter,
how he undertook the management of affairs when

no other man was competent to it. In the darkest
day of the Crimean war, when disaster threatened,.
when dereat loomed obvious as the consequence of
timed and incompetent management, " the English
Minister" stepped forward to take the helm. He
vindicated the renown of the country, and in his
energetic hands the aspect of affairs completely
chang d. Peace was concluded on satisfactory
terms, and at the termination of the war, our object
thoroughly attained, the arms of England, military
and naval, stood at a point of efficiency unequalled
in the annals of the country. The conclusion of war
was, however, to Russia the opportunity to obtain
by fraud much that she had failed to obtain by
force. Again it was the clear sagacity of Lord Pal-
merston that defeated her every effort. Bulgrad
and the Isle of Serpents are names too well known
to fame for us here to recount the circumstances
connected with them—how our diplomacy inOted
on the spirit and letter of the Treaty—how our
fleets remained alone in the Black Sea. The Premier
was not then accused of " truckling to France" at
the risk of sacrificing the French alliance. He stood
against tho world for the honour of England, and i
the country backed him. France complied, and 1
Russia, defeate3, yielded every point. In the affair '
of Neufchatel, again, it was Lord Palmerston who

'maintained firmly and successfull) the independence
of S witzerland against the claims of Prussia, backed,
at first, by France. But it really verges oa the
absurd to attempt a defence of Lord Palmerston
against the accusation of a want of English
spirit. Yet, in the present instance, such is
the libel. He would, indeed, have been want-

ing in generosity and justice had he ,neglected to
remedy the obvious defect in our laws ; and in
the attempt to remedy it he was supported in the
House of Commons by a majority of two hun-
dred. Yet, on the motion for the second read-
ing of the " Conspiracy to Murder Bill," the mo-
tion was lost, and a vote of censure was passed on
the Government fir having failed to answer the
despatch of Count Walew;ki. Orally it had been
answered ; but how, verbally, c iuld the Govern-
ment have answered it ? It could but have acknow-
ledged as true that foreign refugees in England had
repeatedly conspired to murder the Emperor Napo-
leon--that successively assassins had left these
shorts—that the implements of as-assination bad
been manufactured in England—and, in ;the last
instance, the English subjects had been compro-
mised in the horrible plot ; but, Navin- acknow-
leded this, it would have been unfitting, undigni-
fied, and unconstitutional in the Government of
Lord Palmerston to have anticipated any decision
of Parliament, or to have entered upon a matter
which would have had the semblance of a negotia-
tion respecting the laws of England with a foreign
Power. And P.r this he falls—for he is con-

demned. The country will yet decide between the
victim, the judges, and the executioner.
Into Lord Palmerston's home policy we will not
on this occasion enter ; few will deny th.►t it has
been eminently popul, r. The energy with which
tho great revolt in India was met is still a theme of

admiration—that huge instirre;iionis ou the point
of suppression, and Lord Palmerston's proposals
for the future and better government of our vast
Asiatic Empire were received by a majority of no
less than 145 so recently as Thursday last. In the
full tide of successful administration, after victory
heaped upon victory in Parliament, and an unpre-
cedented ratification of his policy upon an appeal to
the country, Lord Palmerston is suddenly cheeked,
stopped, and overthrown by a combination of spite,
jealousy, and faction. His Government, however,
will illustrate one of the brightest pages iu the
history of England. He has nobly earned the gra-
titude of his countrymen. He falls conscious of right,
an example of that highest of virtues which to
us means far more than the blaze of glory or the
trumpet of Fame. He has "done his duty."
Lord Derby assumes power under no very bright
auspices; his party, if compact, is but a decent
minority, and his support in the assumption of
office is derived from Radicals, Peelites, and Whigs,
who will embarrass him on the first opportunity.
But internal difficulties and home questions may
well fade before external considerations. Unless

we are completely blinded we cannot fail to see the
serious difficulties which menace us abroad as the

infallible result of present- events. The~ French
nation cannot but consider the recent decision of

Parliament as a vote directly hostile. We see it in
the papers and correspondence from Paris which
have already reached us. We must not altogether
forget that if we have some claim to the exercise of

passions and the play of ill-feeling, so also have
our neighbours ; and if we have admired and de-
lighted in the brilliant results which have followed
alliance and cordial co-operation, we may well
pause before the tremendous consequences which
may ensue from mutual folly and ungovezned
prejudice.
We have yet to learn that the decision of the
House of Commons is ratified by the country. We
believe that it will not be so ; and we shall not
be surprised if public demonstrations in every con-
siderable place in Great Britain prove that the sym-
pathies of his countrymen accompany the policy
and the fall of Lord Palmerston, and that their best
energies are put forward for the vindication and
promotion of the great principles of English policy,
of which he is pre-eminently the advocate, and to
effect his speedy return to the office which he has
so brilliantly illustrated, and has filled with such
manifest advantage to the best intereAs of Englund.

(From the Morning Herald.)
Lord Darby, with his well-known chivalry, has
come boldly to the rescue, and, iu spite of the peali

[PRIDE 4D. STAMPED 5

and difficulties in which Lord Palmerston and his col-
leagues contrived to involve the state, has accepted
the onerous' post of Prime Minister of England. At
this moment the noble earl is engaged forming his
Cabinet ; and we do not anticipate that he will
meet with much difficulty in completing his arrange-
ments, so that new writs will be speedily issued,
and Parliament adjourned fur a short interval.
The Ministry will be composed of statesmen re-
solved to defend the best interests and the welfare
of Engl me., and to uphold her honour both at home
and abroad. The determined attitude assumed by
Lord Derby at the reopening of Parliament ; his
declaration, utte. e 1 amidst the acclamations of the
assembled Peers, that the henour of Englanchmust
be maintained, her liberties preserved inviolate,
and her policy rendered free and independent, at
once pointed him cut as the coming man. The
public speedily responded to his patriotic appeal,
and politicians entertaining the most opposite
opinions hailed liirn as Eneland's deliverer. His firm
and beneficent rule in 1852 is not forgotten, nor
are the repeated admissions of some of the noble
earl's most violent opponents, that the surnmsly
and unjust dismissal of his Government at the cicse
of that year was one of the greatest misled-macs
that ever happened to this country. England was
at that time at peace with all the world, the funds
were at par, home industry flourished, whilst
foreign and colonial commerce was in a state of
unexampled prosperity, and halcyon skies Eluded
upon all members of the community and upon every
interest. England had not known such a period of
prosperous tranquillity for many a long day, and she
has witnessed nothing in the least deeree similar
since. From the hour that Lord Derby resigned
office in 1852, to the present moment, war and
confusion have been in the ascendant. With
Russia, Persia, China, and the native rsces of
India we have been actually embroiled, petty. re-
criminations have been carried on With the tyrant
of Naples, and the alliance with France, which pro-
duced so many good effects, and prom sed so richly,
has been imperilled. In whatever direction we
turn our eyes the approach of danger may be de-
tected, and the public naturally enough long for
deliverance. That has at last been found, and iu
this respect it would be impassible to calculate the
advantages secured by the decisive majority of
Friday last.
Lord Pal Leer sten's foreign pc licy first brought him
into notice, aed obtained for him a certain reputa-
tion, and iu his utter and hopeless break down
perishes one of the most extraordinary delusions cf
the last half century. The disgraceful affair with
Greece almost produced a catastrophe; but.themetn-
ber for Tiverton being then in his prime, awl bong,
moreover, possessed of a ready managed to avert
the exposure. The terrible failures in the Crimea
once more brought this legislator's name before the
public, and, iu spite of certain misgivings and very
painful suspicions, ha received the dictatorship.
The result did not fulfil the expectations fennel by
his more sanguine supporters. The war against
Russia was not under his direction waged sig ,r-
-ously. Recent events in India show plainly enough
that had Sir Cohn Campbell been appointed to the
command of the British forces in the Crimea the
retzeet of the Russian army would have been cut
off. Kars was altogether abandoned, and he wily
Muscovite was permitted to get in Asia more than
an equivalent f r what ho had lost, or was supposed
to have lost, in Europe. A disgraceful peace was
patched up, and the excuse given by this Minister,
who had won all his popularity as the defender of
British interests and the guardian of British hon-
our, was, that France was unwilling to prosecute
the contest, therefore he had agreed to au unsaiis-
facto& termination of the same. To this hour the
treaty of Paris has proved an apple of discord
amongst the nations of Europe, and whilst Austria
sets one of its provisions at defiance Russia boldly
evades another. Suet' is the perplexity that has
arisen out of this masterpiece of Whig cunning that
fresh conferences are to be assembled, and a third
attempt is to be made to effect either a settlement
or a compromise.

And wla shall be said of the undignified struggle
with Naples, the rashly-provoked wars with Persia
and China, and the total abandonment of British
interests in Central America ? Are these to ba re-
garded as the greatest achievements of one who
boasted of being the Mieiiter of England Is the
desertion of our gallant countrymen and women in
India to be received as a proof of bit vigilance ; or
are the frequent declarations of his comrades, made
with 11;s sanction, that the mutiny was but a paFs-
ing cloud, t.) be accepted as evidence of his saga-
city ? And if no Minister of Iwo days so 'miserably
mismanaged affairs, and tore to pieces hi.e own
putation, surely none ever maintained his position
in a more discreditable manner, or prostituted
power to such base uses ! What shall be said of
twelve new peers created in a premiership of three
years' duration, or the way in which patronage has
Leen distributed in Ireland 1 These are not things
that can be kept a secret, and the more the light
breaks in upon them the wo:se must they appar.
And, as if to set the seal to his own shtme, and to
destroy at one fell swoop alt e mfideoca in Wbig
pleigas of purity of intention and devotion to
pub-
lie interests, Lord Palmerston received into his
Cabinet, and appoiTted to an import Int position
in the same, a member of the peerage whose an+e-
cedents were not of the most commendable cha-
racter. As the news of the fall of the Palmerston
Administration circulates from one end of Ihe king-
dom to the other many an honest patriot will ex-
claim, with grateful joy, " Thank God the country
is rid of a Cabine', that Lumbered LeM Clanricarde
among its members !"

L-T.l Palmerston's premiership has played havoc
with his reputation. Before he grasped the reins he
was soul/Al-ling, now everyth;ng i 3 destroyed. Wars
and embrilinents are the legacy which he be-
queaths to his successor, and he has been expelled
from office simply because he could not govern. Th 3
stature book can boast of no useful additions, the
results of superior statesmanship, and "his short
reign will be rem-mbered Its the most calamitous
and gloomy in the annals of the nineteenth century.
GI eat credit is due to LOT d Derby for having un-
dertaken the task at such a juncture. It is enough
however, for this statesman to know that the coup try
is in peril, and that his aid can be of service. The
blood of the Stanleys flows in his veins, and danger
aud difficulty were the elements out of which was
woven the lofty reputation of his house. Members
of this family have, from generation to generation,
proved themselves the leanest defenders of the
S-..ate. All the present Lord Derby's laurels have,
however, been gained in the bloodless strife cf
peaceful times. He bears a great name, aud for
unbl ,mished honour and integrity stands second to
none. The feeling of the country is in his favour,
and a House of Commons electsd under most un-
favourable circumstances last March, will accord to
him a fair trial. At any rate, his Government
must stand or fall upon its merits ; the nation
not again permit this accomplished statesman to be
thrustasde to make room for weak, but ambitious,
politicians. Lord Derby can claim as a sacred
right the sympathy and respect of all good citimns.
He has not sought this honour, but is summoned
as a deliverer. The country may confidently look
forward to the enjoyment of the benefits to be de-
rived from enlightened ?statesmanship, for the
" organised hypocrisy" has been destroyed, and a
fresh period of Conservative progress commences
fro:n this ampic'ons hour.

(Front Me Morning Chronicle)
Lord Palmerston's Administration has at length
resigned. Our relations with France ought rather
to be strengthened than injured by this catastrophe
of Lord Palmerston's Ministry. At the hour when
we write, nothing is definitely or officially known
as to the course likely to be adopted by her
Majesty, in choosing successors to the resigned
Ministers. That the Earl of Derby should have
been sent for was, however, almost a matter of
course. Now,_ the poley of the Conservatives
towards the Emperor of the French has always
been of the most conciliatory character.

(Front the .Afoi, ing-Adveri )
Verily We have had our reward. It may hare
been long delayed, but it has come at list. li-is
an ample reward, and we are abunlanly satisfied
with it. We have lived to see the House of on_
pons—a House consisting of the popularly oig„,
representatives of the people—nroclaim_io the
hearing of the world, after a whole nigh.'s &bate
and deliberation, that the sentiments with. Which,
(or six long years, the Morning Advertiser has iden -
tified itself, with regard to the present regime in
France, are their sent:talent and the sentiments of
the constituen -ies by whom they were sent to Par-
iament. Thiß, then, is indeed the hour of our
riumph.
To labour in the pursuit of one obje3V for so
many year=, unceasingly and alone, and often amidst
obloquy and opposition cf no common kind, is
not often the lot of a public journalist. Much
less is it a coaanon thing to persevere in such
course amidst great and manifold disc-uragements
known only to one's self. Yet that has been our
destiny. From the time that our Government
identified itself with the Government of Louis
Napoleon, soon after the unconstitutional acts of
December, 1852—deeds perpetrated in violation of
the most solemn oaths and amidst a large amount
of bloodshed—we have not ceaied to hold up -an
alliance with the author of all the crimes which
characterised the days of December, as bean at
Once one of the most unfortunate and unprintiirled
into which the British Government ever entered
with a foreign Power.
Nor did we fail to predict the disastrous come=
quences, as well as the dishonour to the English
flame, which would inevitably result from that
alliance. Okirir!idietions were soonfoand.sba-in
the' course-hi f W tda-werersoon Seen
al* be in- the way t.i- verification. Gradually; but
Steadily and surely, it became manifest to all that the
government of England had become so entangled
in the meshes of the Ruler of France, as that our
Ministers had actually become, in eflect, the
Minions of Louis Napoleon. They had practically
bdicated their functions as the servants of their

,wn Sovereign—that Sovereign towards whom the
)eople of this country cherish feelings of loyalty
and love surpassing in their inten.ity -the alle-
iance and effectiou with which any other Sovereign
hat ever sat on the British throne was regarded.
Under the system on which Lord Palmerston
was administering the affairs of the ceuntry, Eng-
land, indeed; would have soon, in effect, become a
French province. .
But the people have willed it otherwise. They
have risen in their might, and determined to take
matters into their own hands. By means of the
irepresentative branch of the Legislature, they have
Louis Napoleon in terms which he will never
forget, and they have proclaimed it aloud to the
ends of the earth, that " Britons never will be
Slaved." Louis Napoleon knows that now. If
our Ministers fai!ed in their duty, the people have
not. If the Cabinet crouched before the occupant
pf the Tuileries, the country has not. Englishmen
Lave defiantly thrown back in the face of Impe-
rialism the insolent menaces which in reality came
from the Tuileries, though ostensibly from ere-Wu
colonels of the army. The people of England have
boldly vindic ttf d their independence and asserted
their dc.terinmation to maintain intact the right of
refnge for those who have escaped from the c:utches
of Continental despots. This sea-girt isle has been
for generations a glorious and secure asylum for the
politically persecuted of all nations, and English-
men are prepared to shed their blocd rather than
that the sanctity of that right should be invaded.
Nay, Fo gen2rous are the people. c-f England that,
badly as they think of the present Ruler of
France, they will afford him a third time,
as they have done twice before, a place of
safety, when, driven from his throne and
his country by the resistless torrent of popular in-
dignation among his own subjects, he flees to Eng-
land as to the only country in Europe in which he
,conl,l, in the supposed contingency, find rest for
the soles of his feet. It will be a curious coinci-
dence should it turn out that Louis Napoleon
himself may be among the first to seek an asylum
in this country, after having done all in his power
to deprive others of a place of safety on our shores.
But in expressing our boundless joy that after
six. long years of labour we have seen a severance
of the bonds which have connected Imperialism in
France with the Government of this country,--
let us not be understood as opposed to an alliance
' with the French people. There is not, on the con-
trary, anything which we more earnestly desire
than a cordial and compact allience between the
peaples of the two countt les. Both nations love
liberty. Gdographicaily they are almost one ; two
hourb' sail brings them into contact. Providence,
therefore, evidently meant that they should be
friends and fellow-labourers in the great work of
aiming-at the world's emancipat'on from the fetters
of a degrading and destructive despotism. And
now that a breach has been effected between Louis
Napoleon and our Government, the great obstacle
to the alliance between the two countries has been
removed, and all that remains for the people of
each to do is, to turn so favourable an opportunity
to proper account.
