TUESDAY, AUGUST 23, 1859.

Whigs, Tories, Radicals—all of us welcome the
Hon. RALPH BERNAL OSBORNE back again
to the House of Commons, and all the more so, be-
cause he seems likely to re-eater it as a really
independent man. We have not too many speakers,
everybody knows, who can relieve the heavy tedium
of a debate with a little of what quickens our cir-
culation again, and enables us to wade through the
necessary columns of Sir G. C. LEWIS and Sir C.
WooD. We all want a little of Mr. DRUM3IOND'S
clever unaccountablenesses, and Mr OSBORNE'S sharp
quips and retorts, to keep us from sinking under
the oratorical sandbags which form the staple of so
many a discussion, and Mr. DISRAELI will be quite
as pleased to see a worthy antagonist as Lord PAL-
MERSTON an unsworn ally. Cornwall is at least
doing well for the independent Liberal party ; she
has given them two members without a contest is
the course of a few days, and one of them in the
place of a Tory.
Mr. OSBORNE has at last acquired his liberty.
He now knows what it is to sit for a borough the
scales of which are held by voters under Admiralty
influence. He knows the pleasures of slipping in
easily by help of a Whig Board of Admiralty, and
of being dropped out as easily by the good offices
of a Tory Board. He will be a useful reformer
after having experienced what it is to be the foot-
ball of two parties, kicked in by one and kicked
out by the other. Let him be true to his expe-
rience, and his arguments for the Ballot, at
least, will not want pungency ; only let him
not be ashamed to confess the cause of
his success as well as of his defeat. It was no
doubt the remembrance of the means which gave
him his seat for Dover which so fired his indigna-
tion in the celebrated CARNEGIE episode in the
House of Commons, and which disposed Mr. DIS-
RAELI to express his sarcastic sympathy with the
honourable member's excitement.
Do we, however, guess rightly when we under-
stand Mr. OSBORNE'S satirical inuendo in respect
to Lord PALMERSTON'S Whig Premiership ? Did
the new member for Liskeard really fancy he had
as good a title to be a Lord as Lords LLANOVER,
LYVEDEN, and TAUNTON? What means this—
rather long—but we give it at length as it is in
Mr. OSBORNErS best hustings style—this rather
long paragraph 9
"It has been objected on another occasion
by two or three gentlemen, I believe, that I
am a thick and thin supporter of my Lord Pal-
merston. (Hear, hear.) I have no hesitation in
saying that I entertain a great and sincere respect
for Lord Palmerston ; but when it was imputed to
me that I was a thick and thin supporter of that
noble lord, I think that the imputer should have
called to mind that, had Ibeen such a supporter of his
I would scarcely have been in my present position.
because that noble lord is notorious for never for-
getting his thick and thin supporters. (Hear, hear.)
It is most probable that, had I been one of that
sort of supporters of Lord Palmerston, I would
not be on these hustings to-day, but should, in all
probability, have gone to another place from which
no commoner returns. (" Hear," and laughter.) I
might have been sent to the drawing-room when
not wanted in the Cabinet parlour. (Hear.) lam
not a nominee of Lord Palmerston here, and never
will be his thick and thin supporter in another
place. (Cheers.) lam here reminded of a passage
in an old play where a great philosopher is asked
what becomes of all the old moons. " Gentlemen,"
the reply was, " they are cut up into little stars."
(Laughter.) And it seems to me that there are
certain members of the old Whig party who are
in somewhat the same position as the old moons
here
alluded to, and who have been cat up into
very
cleittl stars. (Renewed laughter.) I have
