The schoolboy cry in the playground of " slips
over again" really appears to express plainly enough
the actuating principle of our politicians this year
in the Lower Chamber of Parliament. This after-
noon the session of 1859 actually makes its Fourth
Commencement. The original beginning of this
miserably wasted and all but used up session tran-
spired of course in February, when the old Parlia-
ment re-assembled for the last time to hear a Speech
from the Throne, to vote a loyal Address in reply,
and to listen, it was hoped, with magnanimous and
dispassionate candour to the Reform Bill honour-
ably submitted to the consideration of the legisla-
tion by the councils of the DERBY Government.
How those rational hopes were dissipated
the nation bears vividly enough in its
remembrance. Immediate and comprehensive
reforms were at the commencement of the
springtime of 'fifty-nine within the grasp of the
popular representatives under circumstances which
secured to them the possibility of at once moulding
those reforms in committee exactly in accordance
with the wishes and aspirations of the population.
Simultaneously with the advent of this long-looked-
for and golden opportunity, it was matter of
European notoriety that the tranquillity of Chris-
tendom was precisely at that very juncture trem-
bling imminently in the balance, and that the dread
ultimatum of Peace or War depended at the
moment, if not entirely, at any rate in a very great
measure indeed upon the circumstance of the
English Government remaining unembarrassed
and unweakened in the midst of its most
delicate and complicated diplomatic negotiations.
The Opposition knew all this perfectly. The
leaders of that Opposition knew to absolute cer•
tainty that by embarrassing Her MAJESTY'S Go-
vernment at that most perilous and difficult
juncture they could only hope to secure advantage
to themselves by the wanton sacrifice of the interests
at once of the nation and of Christendom. The
entire session was before them, and in its regard it
might be said of them truthfully that—
" They gave up to party what was meant for mankind."
Lord JOHN—henceforth, as the Earl of WARWICK
is known in the annals of our civil wars by the
'fame of the " King-maker" to be known in his
turn in our Parliamentary history, not less in re-
gard to friends than in regard to foes, as
"-The Cabinet-breaker."—Lord JOHN, of whom
it might be said as accurately as ever the
Roman poet sang of the first CESAR
Gaudetque viam fecisse ruina"—recognised
9,e a glance how he might best, according to his
usual custom, avail
himself of this most tempting
opportunity. Granted that, by so doing, that very
Reform for which he bad once shed tears in the
House of Commons, that Reform which was then
clearly within his grasp, within the grasp of the
riegislature, within the grasp P of the population,
would, in all human
likelihood, be thrown back for,
at least, another twelvemonth! Granted that War,
then trembling like the sword of DEMOCLEs upon
tho 'suspension of a hair, the gossamer thread of
diplomacy, might by any untoward and precipitate
prweeding in the British House of Commons,
