THE SUN.

LONDON, FRIDAY, JAN. 4, 1861.

" Double, double, toil and trouble" for poor Mr.
HorsmAN. His Stroud constituents have carefully
reconsidered and deliberately reiterated their most
emphatic condemnation. As if the vote passed
unanimously on Wednesday, and to which we re-
ferred in our leading columns yesterday, were not
in every way sufficient—another resolution quite as
explicit and positive in its terms of condemnation
as its predecessor, was passed at a second meeting in
Stroud, held there last evening, and if not passed this
timerren2, con., at any rate passed by a very consider-
able majority. The resolution thus carried upon
" second thoughts" against the right hon. member
for Stroud, by the Stroud constituency, was in effect
couched in language no less unmistakeable than the
subjoined :—" That this meeting having heard Mr.
HORSMA N's explanation of his votes and speeches
in the late session of Parliament, are decidedly of
opinion that his views and conduct are so much at
variance with the Liberal constituency of Stroud,
that he no longer represents them in Parlia-
ment." It will be seen from this that Mr.
HonsmAN was aoain present and had again
addressed his former supporters—again, of
course, to no purpose in the way of con-
vincing them that he was right and they were
wrong. Unlike the Resolution of Wednesday, the
Resolution of Thursday ended with a very distinct
notice to quit. Mr. HORSMAN virtually may be
said to have received in this second resolution,
condemnatory of his Parliament conduct, his
cxequatur. The telegram from Stroud, in referenc e
• to last night's proceedings down there, intir,Ates
briefly that a warm discussion ensued imr,ediately
upon the proposal of the resolution, that it was
eventually carried by a very large -majority, hut—
that Mr. HORSMAN refused (we Presume it ought
to be read "declined") to resign ! His position
before the House of Commons during the ensuing
session—and it will be remarked that yesterday Par-
liament was further prorogued pro forma by Royal
Commission until the sth of February, "then to
meet for the despatch of business"—Mr. HORSMAN'S
position before the House of Commons during the
ensuing session will nevertheless, in spite of this
resolution a his (supposing him still to persist in
it) prove to have been very considerably modified by
these perempfn7 prncee::::ngs on the part of the
Zkruud constituency. The riglit hon. gentleman
will still address the House as a very able man, as
one of its most brilliant debaters, as an ex-Minister
full of crotchets, but with his mind full also of very
rare abilities—but he will certainly not address J
