to come.

anybody, even at this eleventh hour, knows at
all about—namely, the contour and complexion
of the Home Policy of his Administration. The
country needed not, for an instant, to be -told all
over again about the Paris Conferences, about the
Russian War, about our summary reconciliation
with Persia, and our temporary tiff with Ame-
rica, and our ineffectual remomtrance with the
Court of the Two Sicilies. What the country did
want to know, however, was—what it still wants
to know at this moment is—something wonder-
fully different 1 Something that Lord PALMER-

STON does not dilate upon—as he dilates u?on
his Foreign Policy—in ten successive pa-
ragraphs of this his Address to the Elec-
tors of Tiverton. Something—the merest
trifle ! his Home Policy in point of fact I nothing
more !—something so little worth talking about
that our vivacious Premier polishes the whole
thing off in a single sentence !

And that sentence ? Well—read it. It won't
take you long. It is shoat enough, in all con-
science. And, for that matter, easy enough of
comprehension. But read it. Lord PALMERSTON
has just said, "Abroad it will be our earnest
endeavour to procure peace, but peace with honour
and with safety—peace with the maintenance of
national rights—peace with security to our fellow-
countrymen in foreign lands." And he then
adds—" At home our guiding principles will be
judicious and well-regulated economy, progressive
improvement in all that concerns the welfare of
the nation, the continued diffusion of education
among the people, and such well-considered re-
forms as from time to time may be required by
changes of circumstances and by the increasing
growth of intelligence." So—the Guiding
Principles of his Government are :—Judi-
cious and Well-Regulated Economy—Progres-
sive Improvement Continued Diffusion of
Education—Well-Considered Reforms. Capital
things in their way every one of them—
but here vaguely indicatci—most provokingly
and tantalisingly generalised 1
The country, we are bold to say, looked to
Lord PALMERSTON to be a little more outspoken
than this. It is precisely because he is not more
outspoken in his Address that we regard that
Address, as we have observed, as so exceedingly
disappointing. He has spoken distinctly and
satisfactorily upon his Foreign Policy—in regard
to which he need not have uttered one syllable.
While in reference to his Home Policy--about
which people expected him to say so much—he
has spoken most in-distinctly, and so far, there-
fore, most un-satisfactorily. So far, but no fur-
ther. For as a vague outline to be filled up ad
libitum hereafter—when the country shall
have pronounced itself through the seven-years'
decree of the constituencies—it is most admirably
and most satisfactorily comprehensive. That is
the Saving Point in it. That is its Redeeming
Characteristic. It is almost a tabula rasa, upon
which the Nation may now write anew with the
iron stylus of this General Election. It loaves
everything open to Reformers. It commits Lord
PALMERSTON'S Government to nothing—but it
admits in every way of that Cabinet moulding its
Home Policy according to the necessities of the
tame, as expressed in the general character of the
new Parliament.

It is no dereliction of principle, so to conduct
the movements of our Constitutional Govern-
ment. The greatest English Statesman of Modern
Times s) conducted the State Vessel through
many difficult and most perilous emergencies.
Not by acting slavishly, according to the
despicable dictates of mere Expediency. But by
watching the turns of the tide, the necessities of
age, the novel and ►arious requirements in the
way of modification and innovation, growing with
the growth, and strengthening with the strength
of each successive generation. This was the glorious
and distinctive policy of Sir, ROBERT PEEL--a
Statesman ever open to conviction, never ashamed
to confess himself in error, always prepared to
acknowledge Fiat justitia, ruat ccelum, as the
motto of his Governmebt. It was the policy, lot
us repeat again, the glorious and distinctive policy
of Sir ROBERT PEEL. It is the policy more
vagu€ ly expressed, no doubt, but still clearly
enough indicated to •be perfectly comprehensible,
❑evertheless—the cautious, and, so far, the saga-
cious policy of Lord PALMERSTOX. Let the coun-
try remember that—and Act accordingly 1

"Finance has always been a stumbling-block in
,he way of the Whigs." This is "a great fact,"
so notorious that it would be an act of superero-
gation to offer additional arguments in support of
the assertion. It is greatly to be regretted that
the Government of Lord PALMERSTOIC, deservedly
populAr in many respects, exhibits not the slightest
improvement in this particular over that of hi:
predecessors. Sir G. C. LEWIS is perhaps the most
inefficient Chancellor of the Fxchequer ever pitch.
forked into Downing-street ! Fortunately for the
country, his hands are so far tied that he
cannot now introduce exploded principles, or
resusc,t ate the monster grievance that received a
death-blow in 1846. But he has shown an un-
flinching determination to support and sustain all
the existing abuses. He may be regarded as the
chief impediment in the way of fiscal, financial,
and monetary reforms ; and, if permitted to have
his own way, the nation will for a protracted
period be afflicted by the monopoly of the Old
Lady of Threadneedle-street—an unimproved
Bank Charter Act continued for a further term of
ten years, an unmodified Income Tax for an in-
definite, period, and the maintenance of variour
burdens alike condemned by justice and expe-
diency, and which will effectually prevent the
further development of the glorious principles of
Free-trade or unrestricted competition, or what-
soever other denomination may be accorded to
the doctrines that have been rezognised by Par-
liatnent for the last 15 years.
Now, the groat problem that requires a satis-
factory solution, and which must speedily be de-
cided, is----whether it is not possible to continue
a Government in which the nation approves, so
far as the Foreign policy is concerned, without
delivering it bound over hand and foot to the
tender mercies of an incompetent Financier, who
will certainly retard, if he cannot altogether pre-
vent, the introduction of measures essential to the

welfare and prosperity of the country. We may
highly approve of Lord PALMERSTON—may con-
sider him " the right man in the right place," but
does it therefore follow that we must repose con-
fidence iu Sir G. C. LEWIS, and submit to all his
vagaries in the financial department. The sick
lion, in the fabl,3, grieved more at the insults of
the donkey than at more serious evils. If there
most be a financial dictator, it should unques-
tionaLly be a man of very different mental calibre
from either Sir G. C. L.F.:wrs or Sir 0. WOOD.
The verdict on this important issue is in the
hands of the several constituencies. If luke-
warmne2s or indifference bo now displaycd, the
national interests must suffer severely for years
SAne time ago the people manifested

extra.)rdinaly excitement. Economy and re-
trenchment was the universal demand, combined
with a judicious mode of procuring the necessary re-
venue to provide for the public expenditure. More
leonktly, tilt) mere notion that a "pettifogging

quibble" was about to be resorted t), created n
fever throughout the length and breadth
of the land. But some trivial concessions,
or rather pretended concessions, allayed
the excitement. The people proved thc'r
irresistible power, but unfortunately refrained
from pushing their victory to its legitimate results.
In 1853 they were bamboozled by the "GLAD-
STONE dodge." The vain expect ition of seeing an
end of the inequitable impost led them from the
scent, and the much-required revision of the tax
was postponed sine die. At the moment
when the game was in the popular hands, it was
recklessly flung away by foolish play. These self-
constituted leaders deliberately fell into a trap that
could not have misled the most unwary, unless
willing to be deceived.

Again, before the last meeting of the defunct
Parliament, the people spoke out plainly and it-
telligibly. They demanded alike the withdrawal
of the special War Tax, and the equalisation of
the remainder. They were, perhaps, more in-
tent on the latter than the former. The
paltry trickery of the former excited intense in-
dignation ; but calm reason urged the propriety
and expediency of the much-required revision of
the burden, and an unequivocal recognition of the
vast difference for fiscal purposes bt tween perma-
nent and precarious receipts—the former certain,
so far as any worldly matter can be,—the latter
depending on a variety of fluctuating elements
which were totally ignored from the calculation.
But although a partial concession was made en the
first point, and 9d. out of the war 11d.
was nominally surrendered (4d. being re-
quired during the two following years),
the spirit of COCKER was altogether disregarded
by the Financial Minister, and the objectionable
inequality was continued with all its monstrous
defects. Had professing fiscal reformers been in
earnest this could not have occurred. The nation
could not a second time be led astray from its
fair and moderate demands.

It only requires that similar demonstrations
should be ,continued to insure a complete victory.
Sir G. C. LEWIS has unequivocally proved that
he is made of squeezable materials, and if the
people show that they are really in earnest Lord
PALMERSTON will not support him in hobbies that
may endanger the stability of the Government. The
Noble Lord knows how to bow gracefully to popular
demands, but they must be clearly and unequivo-
cally preferred. This is the golden opportunity,
which may not again occur for seven long years--
a tedious apprenticeship to a system destructive
to the welfare and happiness of the people.
" The light cloud" will soon pass away, and
nothing but unavailing regrets will remain—
mourning for that which might have been, but
was not, accomplished. Once more we call upon the
several constituencies to shows that they are worthy
of the trust confided to their charge—to prove that
while they are sensitively alive to the maintenance
of the national honour, they also feel acutely the
wrongs under which they have hitherto suffered,
and imperatively demand complete and speedy
redress. Let the voters not be content with vague
declamation in favour of economy and retrench-
ment, but insist on specific pledges respecting
fiscal, financial, and monetary reforms—pledges
which, if disregarded, will cover the deceivers with
well-merited reproach and obloquy.

HIT AND MISS.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.

Thirty years ago we knew a country gentle-
man who thought he would test the probabilities
of his success as a duellist. We are not aware
that he was intending an affront t') any of the
class, rather large at that time, who thought
powder and lead the scales of gentlemen's justice,
but our friend was a man whose blood coursed
pretty quickly through his veins at all times, and
it did not take much to get it up to expres4, and
even to collision, speed. CURRAN proposed to a
challenger to chalk a man on the barn door, and
whichever hit him first should make the apology.
Our friend preferred a pump in his yard for an
experimental antagonist, and placing himself with
his back to his parlour window, and in
front of his man, and, making his own signal, he
pulled the trigger, and—smash went the parlour
window ! Let no reader liken him, in imagina--
tion, to the Pickwickiau who maimed Mr. TITP-
MAN. Our friend hardly knew what it was -to
miss his bird. His bullet had, of course, hit the
pump—had made a wound that would assuredly
have been fatal to any living pump ; and having
penetrated two inches or more into the wooden
representative of too many mortals, had rebounded
over our friend's shoulder, smashed the window, and
marked the opposite parlour wall ; he very wisely
thought his honour satisfied, declined a second shot,
and we never heard of his challenging a pump of
any sort again.

Perhaps our great Opposition Leader may, on
.00king round, perceive his admirably-aimed bullet
has smashed the glass of his house also. Per-
fectly aimed—deep as any duellist, as Sntr,ooK,
had he been a duellist, could have mAshed, went
the ball into its mark. Lord PALMERSTON—.
"The Tory Chief of a
Radical Cabinet." What
shot at one asking confirmation in office from
the hands of all the Liberals in the kingdom 1
Tories, can you vote for a captain who mans his
ship with Radicals? Radicals, will you vote
for a Minister who crimps your representa-
tives to steer with them whither he pleases
The Tory Cnief of a Radical Cabinet l Excellent
that. We have not heard a smarter or a truer
thing for a while; saving, of course, a little dif-
ference between the epigrammatic and the actual
radical qualities of Lord PALMERSTON'S staff. We
rather fear some of them would stammer at the
Candidate's Catechism as much as their master.
But let that pass. Mr. DISRAELI has made a
capital shot.
But then the parlour windows I and the oppc-
site parlour wall I Of what sort of Cabinet is Mr..
DISRAELI to be chief ? Of Mr. GLADSTONE
and Mr. Rortanoic, of Lord J. RUSSELL and Mr.
MIALL, of Sir 3. GlnAnAlt and Mr. COBDEN, of
MILNER GIBSON and Mr. LAYARD.---" Tory Chief
of a Radical Cabinet" —of a Peelite Cabinet, of an old
Whig Cabinet, replies the crashing glass Lucky
for the marksman if the shot has rebounded over
his shoulder, and not graz3d him in passing.
Why, if he once attempt to form a Cabinet out of
his majority, the whole China service presented

him by Mr. COBDEN'S motion would be surtshed

on his mantelpiece, and by his own bullet. He
must be the Tory Chief of a Radical Cabinet—or
re.,l-Whig-Radical CAbinct—equally odious, or

more so, in the eyes of all good Tories. Could
Mr. DISE,AnT have meant to have a Radical

Chief of a Tory Cabinet ? Mr. CORD EN —whom ho

and the Tories followed as 13ader in the House of

Commons I' Could ho mean thus to nullify a

Radical as the Radicals now nullify a Tory ?
Oh, but, of course,
all except thorough-bred
Tories were to be left behind. The DERnY-DIS-

RAELI Cabinet was to be of pure blood. Mr,

DISRAELI IS to be the deputy Tory Chief of a

Tory Cabinet.

Bat that's worse than th

smashed glass—it's the indented parlour well.

only shows with what deadly force the shot re-
bounds. Why, of all things in the world, that

just the thing the country will not stand. A Toi y
Chief is bad enough in all conscience ; but it is
something to have a Cabinet that at least keep 3
him out of mischief. A Tory Chief, Cabinet an&
all, in the year Anno Domini 1857, in Vie year
of the Reform Bill 25, and the year of Protection
dead and buried s—is it to be thought of ? Lard
DERBY knows better. He thinks the contest
hopeless—he has no mind to have a Tory Cabinet,
if he could get it, holding office by favour of
Mr. COBDEN, " whom he never spoke to, and has
not the slightest acquaintance with." He prefers
an Arab independence to an urban subserviency.
Better to reign in opposition than to serve in a
Government. He accordingly threatens Lord
PALMERSTON if he does not keep the Tory peace ;
but does not hint that he intends to be the Tory
chief of a Tory Cabinet, or of any Cabinet at all.
No—Mr. DISRAELI hit the bull's eye, but he
smashed his own parlour window and indented
the wall.

And what would the Right Hon. Member for
Bucks do had he it all his own way? His policy is
" honourable peace—reduced taxation—and social
improvement." The last all agree 4o—but of
political improvement not a word. Ra Heals
would not profit by his reign. Lord PAL-
MERSTON has begun " reduction of taxation ;"
and we somewhat like a Premier out of whom
nine millions could be squeezed by popular deter-
mination, while we hardly know what Mr. Da-
lt/ELI and Mr. GLADSTONE drove at, unless it were
keeping up the intolerable sixteenpence—their rid-
dle has always puzzled us, that of taking off
taxes in order to provide against a deficit in 1860.
As to an honourable peace, we cannot quite relish
their notions on that topic. Viscount PALMERSTON
made, NAPOLEON 111. perhaps compe'ling him, an
"honourable peace" (?) with 'Western semi-bar-
barism last year; Mr. DISRAELI and Mr. COBDEN
would persuade us to make a less honourable one
with Eastern semi-barbarism this year.

LATEST NEWS.

The Gazette Piemontaise of yesterday announces
the recal of Count Paar, and the departure of the
whole Aus I rian Legation.

Austrian subjects are transferred to the protection
of the Prussian Ambassador.

A letter from Berlin in the Post Ampt Gazette of
Frankfort says :—" The settlement of the Neucha-
tel question encounters a fresh. difficulty from the
circumstance of the agnates, or younger branches,
of the house of Prussia refusing to consent to a re-
nunciation of the principality. Without their con-
sent the renunciation of the King would not be
valid."

FRANCE.
PARIS, MONDAY EVENING.
The approaching Conference on the affairs o:
Neuchatel will probably take place on Wednesrlay,
M. de Hatzfeldt and M Walewski have bad seve
ral interviews on the subject.
The Emperor yesterday received M. Escher, Pre
sident of the National Council of the Swisi Contt
de ra ion.

" The importance which the French settlement
at Senegal has attained during the last few years,"
says the Moniteur de la Flotte, "induced the-
Minister of the Marine, some time back,- to create
a new post of superior commandant of the navy at
that place. Captain ,Duroch, who had been ap-
pointed to the situation, has just arrived at S'.
Louis, and been duly installed. He will, under the
authority of the governor, centralise the service of
the vesQeli of war on the station, -direst their re-
pairs when necesary and organise a dock for tha'
purpose ; he will also have the direction of all
works execut d in the port-, the police of the rold-
stead, pilotage, arc. He is to draw out a mon,hly
return of the vessels under his orders, and ever)
quarter make a regular report on the stores, &c.,
under: his charge. His residence is to be at St.
Lo via." •

Thefollowing is the summary of the expose des
motifs of the budget of 1858, read on Saturday in
the Legislative Body by the.Pre3ideat to the mem-
bers :

"On the whole, the comparison of the receipts and
expenses presents a surplus of receipts of 20,128,9811. It
we add to that sum the 5,000,000 f. set down for the first
time in the budget of expenses, and destined to reim-
burse part of the debt to the bank, we find a total sur-
plus over the expenses of something over 25,000,0001.,
which, in our opinion, ought to be devoted to the dimi-
nution of the floating debt. No doubt it is scarcely
right to expect that in 1858 causes of unforeseen ex-
penses will not rise; the course of human things, the
life and movement of a great people, &most fatally oc
casion such expenses every year. But the severe calcu-
lation of the estimates as regards the receipts authorises
us to believe that the resources of 18E8 will suffice
to cover not only the expenses set down in the
budget, but even suck expenses as are not proviled
for therein, and at present not foreseen ; and that thus
the surplus receipts to which we have just referred
will remain appropriated to its natural destination--the
diminution of the floating debt. Last year the report of
the committee of the Legislative Body charged to
examine the budget 1 1857 called the serious attention
of the Emperor's Government to the necessity of re
stricting the supplementiry credits, and of reducing
them to rare cases and small proportions. The decree co
the 10th November, 1856, carried on the proposition o
the Minister of Finance, has proved to the country that
the Emperor in his wisdom had like you foreseen this
danger, and desired to pre'erve the future from it."
It may not be forgotten that, when the article of
the Moniteur on the union of the Danubian Princi-
palities was known at Bucharest, the greatest-joy
was expressed and the most flattering complements
directed to the French political agent. The French
Government has not, however, been over-pleased at
these manifestations, which, in point of fact, were a
censure on the English Government, which was
known to be opposed to the union. Baron Talley-
rand, the French Commissioner to the Principali-
Ve4, has received instructions from his Government
to keep himself on the reserve, and not only not to
encourage any such demonstrations, but rather to
do all in his power to check them.
