which the Times so earnestly, and we may say bitterly
advocates. It would disgust the great body of

the people, and what is of still greater importance,

a large majority of the independent constituencies.
It would reader the answer to the appeal to the

coun try, that would most assuredly take place '
under such circumstances, perfectly decisive, and
ensure a privileged tenure of office to Lord DERBY
and his coadjutors. Lord Joint RUSSELL has
shown that he cannot be betrayed into such a
shallow and injudicious line of policy. His indig-
nant refusal to be dragged through the mire has
foiled the inequitable and, we may add, the uncon-
Etitional attempt. It has exposed the ambuscade.
Hine ills lachryma• Hence the mourning and
objurgations of the Times and Post, and of the
smaller fry that follow in their wake, who have
all their dictatorial truculence, without any of their
weight or ability.
It will be time enough to assail Lord DERBY,
when he has been guilty of any act of commission
or omission injurious to the national honour or
the national interests. Hitherto there has been
no shortcoming—nothing of which the most
querulous could justly complain. In foreign
affairs, we find that the WALnwslu despatch was
answered in a temperate, but, at the same time,
a dignified manner, and that "the unpleasant
differences" have been completely got rid of, and,
with them, the Conspiracy to Murder Bill
has been consigned to the tomb of all the
CAPITLETS. WATT and PARKS have been
set at liberty, and although they have suffered
cruelly, both physically and intellectually, they

have been restored to their friends and country,
and we may reasonably anticipate that full com-
pensation will be insisted on by the Government,
which accomplished in a few days what it took
their predecessors a greater number of months
not to do. Certainly there has been no cause for
complaint in the substitution of a truly British
Minister, firm, although not vapouring, for " the
despot-loving CLARENDON."
In the administration of the most important
branch of the national establishments, Sir JohN
PAKINGTON has won golden opinions even from
the most virulent assailants of the Government.
He has proved himself to be a well-intentioned,
painstaking, and intelligent Administrator. It
is scarcely a compliment to say that, when com-
pared with Sir CHARLES WooD, the advantage is
all on his side ; politically speaking, it is " Hy-
perion to a Saty r." He has unsparingly exposed
the folly of getting rid of tried and disciplined
men, engaged for continuous service, under cir-
cumstances that rendered the Admiralty
liable to a charge of breach of faith.
The admirable machine is broken, the ves-
sel dismantled, the crew dispersed to seek
service abroad, in order that a new and inex-
perienced body, not accustomed to work together,
may be collected at great expensa and after
considerable delay. We trust and believe that Sir
J. PAIINQTON will set his face against this most
absurd piece of -red-tapism.
The budget will be opened, the financial scheme
developed, publicly on Monday, or at all events early
in the week. We shall then have an opportunity
)f comparing Mr. DISRAELI with Sir G. C. LEwis,
and we fancy that the result will be even more strik-
ing than in any of the other departments. Why,
then, should the Liberals repine ? Why should
they strive to displace the men who are faithfully
carrying out their wishes, in order to restore
hose who, under the disguise, or rather the name
of liberality, are really obstructives I Lord JOHN
RUSSELL has merited the thanks and gratitude
of the country for defeating the ill-omened
scheme, the artful dodge attempted to be prao-
tised on the community.

with pleasure to the whole course taken
