men," and, politically, we judge of the motives
by the measures. Indeed, it may sound rather
unamiably, but we strongly suspect that Lord
PALERSTON certainly, and Lord JOHN RUSSELL

too, probably, would never offer us a really liberal
measure again, but for the political credit they
might gain by it. True, the elect families would
say that they are consistent in making popular
proposals ; but the new Ministry have stoutly
denied the right of BEDFORDS and GREYS to

monopoly of Reforms. We take the liberty to
remark that the denial is altogether superfluous.
We have bad nothing but the husks of reforms
from the Whigs of late. We think it no charge
against the Conservatives, that office has libe-
ralised their practice ; we predicted that it would.
It has, however, been a grave charge against the so-
called Liberals, that office makes Tories of them.
Mr. HOB,SMAN himself honestly told Lord PAL-

MEBSTON this.
The truth of it all is, that any Ministry no w-
a-days must govern in accordance with prevalent
public opinion. Those who have been long in
opposition, when they come into effice, find them-
selves face to face with 'the public, and no longer
merely professional opponents, or the leaders of a
clique. They have the nation to serve ;in their
former opposition they may have done many
things merely from party spirit ; this may, indeed,
be inconvenient to remember, but they can afford
to do it no longer. They feel, practically, all the
difference between the licence of counsel, and the
responsibility of the judge ; 'and they'must do per-
haps, in some few instances, what a judge must do,
could he pending a cause, have been raised from
the bar to the bench. We are not defending
reckless party spirit, or apologising for unfair
opposition, but we must take things as they are ;
and we must therefore allow that practically
opposition and office have very much of the
difference between the bar and the bench ; and
Lord PALMERSTON and the Palmerston ian journals
may taunt as they will, but they will find the
country perfectly indifferent to adroit appeals to
Hansard. It will perhaps even laugh at them
and enjoy the joke, but it will nevertheless support
the men who do its work. It will scrutinise
neither antecedents nor motives. It will only be
too glad to get rid of these who said, " I go, sir,
but went not."

It is but negative commendation, to be sure ;
we wonder however what wa should have got from
the PALMERSTON Ministry that we shall not get
from Lord DERBY'S. One of the most respect tble
deputations which has lately waitsd on a Minister,
went to Lord PALMERSTON on the subject of
Church-rates. A gentleman present has toll us
that he believes Lord DERBY would have treated
them more respectfully, and have promised them
quite as much, indeed that he will do as much as
Lord PALZERSTON with Lord SNAITESSURY at his
right hand, could be ever got to do. Then as to re-
form—all we know about it is th L )rd PAL-
MERSTON kept it, as HEROD did his prisoners, in-
tending after Easter to bring it forth to the people,
and most likely for the same purpose—to kill it.
Had he had a popular Reform Bill in his desk, or
even a middling good one, if he had intended it to
survive the annual massacre of the innocents, we
should have heard of its merits long before now,
probably amongst the very first things in the ses-
sion. We never had any faith in a Reform Bill
from Lord PALMERSTON.

But we take leave to tell Lord PALMERSTON and
Lord JOHN RUSSELL too, that we do not care a
straw for any Refurm Bill either of them would
at present give us. We will certainly not write
a line, so far as reform is concerned, to turn out
Lord DARBY and to get them in. We feel very
little inter est in the manipulation of the constituen-
cies by the opposite parties, for their own purposes,
and the gain of a member to one party here, and
to another there. The two Whig leaders who
think the Premiership the perqui,ite of one
or the other of them, will neither of them concede
the independence of the vote. They want to re-
tain the " influence," but to shuffle the members
a little differently amongst the influenced electors;
and, while this is their cue, why should we go
across the street to vote for a supporter of either
of the Lords, rather than to vote for a supporter
of the Conservative Peer ? We expect little dif-
ference in the administration ; in Favouritism and
Nepotism Lord DERBY (cannot surpass his pre-
decessor ; in his India Bill he has undeniably
surpassed them in these respects, while hitherto
none of Ms appointments has outraged the na-
tional sense of propriety. Two grand points Lord
DERBY has in his favour. He has ttvo competitors ;
they cannot unite ; they are each of them in a
minority, and the Manchester party sincerely
despises lsotb, and is quite disposed to 'support
him heartily in all useful measures. The other
point, which we regret much, is that neither of
• his two opponents are sufficieutly in advance of
him at present to outvote him on any question on
which they could go to the country. Would either
of them but go heartily for thi ballot, Lord
DERBY or any other Minister might be ejected at
once. We only wish he would anticipate them
and offer it himself. They richly deserve it, and
they might then long in vain fur office through
many a weary session.

determined courage, as well as from his exploits
in the destruction of these animals, had shown
the rebels the stuff he was made of, proving that
his name might justly be associated with those of
CAMPBELL, HAVELOCK, OUTRA M, and the other
Paladins who have so gloriously distinguished
themselves:during the present contest : with hi 4
corps of 4,000 men he got between two of the
rebel squadrons, one consisting of 21,000 rebels
with 21 guns, and the other of 8,000 men, and
8 guns. He thus prevented a junction, and beat
them in detail with a loss of 2,800 men, and
of all their guns. These were, indeed, bril-
liant achievements, for which both cora-

mander and men deserve the highest praise

By judicious tactics he removed every obstacle
on the route to Lucknow, and was enabled, as we
have already stated, to join Sir CoLIN CAMPBELL

before the last stronghold of the insurgents.

Nor were the other leaders idle. Brigadier
HOPE GILA.NT had marched from Oonas to Fut-

tehpore Chowrapie, the old haunt of the arch-
demon NANA SAHIB, and completely destroyed it,
taking four guns and killing 1,800 insurgents,
while his own casualties did not amount to more
than 17 or 18 men.
The columns under ROSE, WHITELOCK, ORE,
and STEWART were all gradually advancing into
positions in which they could intercept any scat-
tered bodies of the rebels after the defeat, which
in all human probability they have already sus
tained. The former had been delayed at Saugor
for want of provisions and means of transport,
but the cordon was closing round the devoted
city, and we shall ere long hear of the results of
the judicious arrangements devised by the master-
mind of him who was once supposed to be a daring
fighter, a good General of Brigade, but nothing
more, and who had to submit to see a Guardsman
placed over his head in the position which he by
right ought to have occupied.
Sir COLIN had 50,000 good men and true,
10,000 cavalry, and 120 guns under his command.
What may not be accomplished by such a mau at
the head of such a body ? We believe that he will
render a speedy account of the insurgents and
trample out the last remnant of the mutiny.
Their doom i 3 sealed ; nothing can save the
ungrateful miscreants who were faithless to
their salt, and strove to wound the hands
that gave them food. The avengers of blood
are before them, while they themselves, dis-
spirited and panic-stricken, are divided by inter-
nal dissension and only anxious to make terns fir
themselves.

It is not the least gratifying part of the inteili-
gence that it is stited that ladies who
were supposed to have been brutally mur-
dered or otherwise ill-treated, are said
to be alive and well. Riey have probably beau
kept as hostages whose intercession may save the
forfeited lives of those who had exhibited mercy
and kindness towards them. We shall extend the
benefit thereof to all who can show themselves
entitled theret). On the whole, the tidings are
the most satisfactory that have been received since
those announcing the rescue of Lucknow, and the
capture of alhi, and they are unalloyed by any-
thing calculated to cause national regret.
We should add that Major 0010 E, with some
of the Punjab regiments, is taking care, not of
" Dow;," but of the upper part of the D.ab.

SADLERS' WELLS, A concert took place at this
theatre on Saturday evening, for the benefit of a literary
gentleman, who has been afflicted with paralysis upwards
cf four years, at whica a host of talented artist , English
and foreign (all honour be to them), offered their gra-
tuitous services, and drew together an audience, not only
highly respectable, but so numerous, that the house was
literally crammed. Stalls, boxes, pit, gallery, even on
the stage, the wings, in fact every inch which
could in any way be rendered available, was occupied,
and , many, not being able to catch the slightest
glimpse of what was going forward, were obliged to be
content with the sweet sounds which reached them from
afar. The programme included some highly attrac-
tive features. Amongst the artistes were Mdlle. Finoli,
Miss Delray, Miss Louisa Vinnirg, Miss Mary Keeley,
Mies Messent, Mr. Sims Reeves, Mr. Charles Brabaw,
Mr. Alan Irving, Mr. Rensford, &c., &c., the wh 'le of
whom exerted themselves most gloriously and most
aucces4elly in the good cause, Mr. Sons Reeves, as usual,
charmed his hearers by the very sweet style in which he
sang "Come into the garden, Maud," and "Who shall he
fairest I" both of which were rapturously encored.
Madlle. Finoli gave Rossini's "Una vocepoco fa" most
exquisitely, and drew from the audience repeated peals
of admiring applause, with a most unanimous call f it a
repetition, which was of course acceded to. A great
merit of Meddle, Finoli's singing consists in her adher-
ing strictly to the score, without introducing a single
note which was net written by the composer, and studi-
ously avoiding all extraneous fioriture or embellish-
ment, a liberty indeed unpardonable, but in which
artistes too frequently indulge. Re:blued duo, " Durique
io son," was also to have been sang by Mdlle. Finoli
and Signor Lorenz), but much to the disappointment of
the audience it was omitted in consequence of the non-
attendance of the signer on the plea of indisposition.
Miss Meesent acquitted herself with much taste in
"Dinna forget, Laddie," and Miss Mary Keeley sang
"Cherry Ripe," and "The Syren of the Ball,"
very pleasingly. The instrumentalists were Messrs.
Lebou, Vietti Colltns, Sydney Pratten, Case, and Sig-
nor .A.dreoli. The conduct re were M. Frank Mori

The Simla brings the following news, obtained

whole of the convoy and siege trains from Agra
on the 231 February, and subsequetrly learnt
that Stewart's, Orr's, Whitelock's columns were
well on their march towards Jhausi, broke up on
the 21 March from Cawnpore, and proceeded to
Alumbagh. Having.aired his kro9ps together
in advance, he despatched. Sir Janat,se Outram
across the Goomtee on the 6th, and tOok:up a po-
sition himself at Bilkhoosha (Dilkoosha). Sir J.
Outram crossed with 6,000 men and 30 gnus,
and was attacked on the other side by the rebels.
The enemy, however, were repulsed by Sir Colin
Campbell, from Chanda.
The brigade of Jung Bahadoor was completed
at Nubtanpore on the 21 of March, and the
Goorkbas were to advance across the Goora.
Before the arrival of Sir Colin, General Outram
had to repulse a great attack made by the rebels
on his positions at Alumbagh and Jellalabad.
This attack took place on the 21st, when the rebels
came on in great force, flanking two sides of our
positions and having a heavy column iu the centre.
Sir James Outram had received intelligence of the
attack by spies, and was prepared for it. He moved
out on the approach of the enemy, cut off both
their flanks, took two guns, and forced them to
retreat. His loss altogether trifling—viz., 21
wounded.

A second attack of the same kind was made on
the 25th, when they were repulsed with loss of

three guns.

Franks' column had also a decisive action. It
marched, 29th of February, in advance of Bud-
lapoore, and encountered the enemy near Shan-
dina. Brigadier Franks prevented a junction
between the two insurgent corps—the first under
Mahornet Dussein, and the second under a disaf-
fected Chuckladera ; the former had 21,000 men
and 21 guns; the latter 8,000 men and 8 guns.
Ile out-manoeuvred them, and boat them sepa-
rately, killing and wounding 2,800, and taking
all their guns.

The rebel corps of Mahomet Dussein had taken
up a strongly intrenched position on the north of
Kadshagunger, eight miles from Shanda. Brigadier
Franks outflanked them and forced them to retire,
with loss of eight guns. Three miles further he
halted, when the second corps of rebels attacked
them, and he was again victorious, and all obstacles
on—his march to Lucknow were removed. At the
same time Brigadier Hope Grant marched from
Oonas to Futtebpere Chowrassie, the old haunt of
Nana Sahib, and blew it up, took four guns and
killed 1,800 men, with casualties amounting to
17 to 18. There was a rumour at Clamnpore that
