of the party opposed to it. If the decision should be ad-
verse to the Government, I think, without going into the
comparative merits of individuals, the ranks of the Liberal
party will afford the means of forming a Government quite as
efficient as that now sitting on the benches opposite.
(Cheers and laughter.) Having lost three of its most im-
portant members, looking at the remnant of this shattered
administration, I think it is no great presumption on our
part to say that it is possible to form a government com-
bining elements deserving of as much co
n d
enconfidence as any that
can be found on the Treasury bench. But if
should be defeated it would be much better than to continue
in our present course. (Cheers and laughter.) lam not
in the least daunted by the indications which come in inar-
ticulate sounds from gentlemen on. the other side. If they
consider themselves in a majority, I would rather it should
be proved by counting in the two lobbies than consent to
the continuance of the present unconstitutional course of
proceeding. If gentlemen opposite have reasons to urge
against the amendment, let the nation hear what they have
to say—let the country, and let Bur* know the grounds
on which they claim the confidence of the country. There
are plenty of gentlemen on this side of the house prepared
to answer them, and then we shall be prepared. to accept
the vote as conclusive evidence of the real opinions of the
people.
Mr. Sergeant DEASY now moved the adjournment of
the debate.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER suggested
that it should be resumed on Thursday.
The suggestion was acceded to, and the house ad-
journed at half-past twelve.

THE SUN.
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8, 1859.

The adjournment of the debate until Thursday
still leaves in suspense the fate of her MAJESTY'S
Government. By Friday night, or Saturday morn-
ing at the latest, the decision of the new House of
Commons will have been announced unmistakeably
by the tellers either of the Treasury or of the
Opposition. Whatever may be the political predi-
lections of different individuals, we do sincerely
believe there is but one unanimous feeling as to the
paramount hope at this moment to be cherished by
all parties and sections of parties without distinc-
tion. An earnest, almost prayerful, hope that
however the decision may go, it may be one unmis-
takeable in its character. What England wants
at this moment is a strong Government—not a
Government upon sufferance--not a Government',
finding strength alone in the weakness caused by
the division of its antagonists. The existence at,
this period of a great and growing, a fierce and
sanguinary war in the very heart of the European
ontinent, is of itself a sufficient reason why every
loyal Englishman should wish to have the hands
of her MAJESTY'S Ministers, whoever those Mini-
sters may be, strengthened to the very uttermost,
That tremendous conflict has but just now been
frightfully signalised by a eruggle so desperate,
so prolonged, and so destructive, that it might
tempt Professor CREASY to add a supplement to
his historic masterpiece. It is difficult to believe
that a war thus illustrated at its very outset by a
pitched battle in which the armies actually engaged
in the field numbered the frightful aggregate of
250,000 men, in which altogether from 25,000 to
30,000 men were within the brief compass of one
single day placed hors de combat—in which, if but
a comparatively few cannon and standards were
captured, from 7,000 to 8,000 men were taken
prisoners—it is difficult to imagine a war, thus
marked at its very commencement by the evidence
of its extraordinary magnitude and desperation,
can be expected to burn itself out within the limits
of the Lombardo-Venetian territory, not spreading
further west than the borders of Savoy, further east
than the shores of the Adriatic, further south than
the frontier of the neutral principalities, or further
north than the range of the Carpathians. It is still
more difficult to count implicitly upon the
restriction of the war exclusively to the space
n2mprised in these narrow boundaries—when all
Germany is fiercely and jealously watching the
progress of the contest, sword grasped in hand
ready to obey the signal for an advance against the
imagined foe of Fatherland! When the legions of
the CZAR are mustering in ustering expectation of some
great but mysterious emergency upon the borders
of all those expectant Sclavonie nationalities.
When even the effete councils of the SULTAN
CALIPH are hastening the organisation of an
army in the vicinity of Montenegro I When
10,000,000 Hungarians are listening in breathless
expectation for the tocsin to
sound anew for
the general rising' to be led on once more
Handorre agaiinhsist
,the imperilled rule of Austria by R
floadjutors! These and many other probable dove-
/ opments of the present war in Lombardy are
seognised on all sides as imminent possibilities.
