THE SUN.

LONDON, SATURDAY, JUNE 8, 1861.

From no body of men could a tribute of honour
to the memory of Count CAVOUR be paid more ap-
propriately than from the British Houses of Parlia-
ment. He was a noble by birth, a commoner by
position, and the constitutional sentiments of both
our Houses found in him a fitting representative.
The Lords were first to speak ; and Peers of opposed
politics, and none more emphatically than those
who had had diplomatic intercourse with the Count,
joined in their expressions of high regard for the
great statesman whose loss they sincerely deplored,
as a loss both to Italy and to Europe. Last night
the Commons added their cordial acknowledgments
of the great merits of the deceased statesman, and
their regrets at the seemingly irreparable loss which
his country has sustained. From no one could the
introduction of the subject be more graceful than
from Sir ROBERT PEEL. It was openly proclaim-
ing that no differences of opinion on important
matters of detail could interfere with his hearty re-
cognition of the fact that Count CAVOUR was "a
man who was certainly the most conspicuous states-
men that ever directed the destinies of any nation
on the continent in the path of constitutional
liberty." Generously he remarked—a generosity
which all England will share—that "many of us—
perhaps from not knowing the difficulties and dan-
gers which encircled his course questioned
his policy and criticised his conduct, but
he is gone —he lies wrapped in the
hand of Death, end I believe it is befitting us, when
we see the merits of his character rising so con-
spicuously, to give some expression of our sympathy
and regret."
The Foreign Secretary and the Premier followed
with eulogies of his statesmanship not more decided
than just. Lord JOHN RUSSELL had, like Sir
itOBEE.T PEEL, on one occasion at least, written to
the Count's Government in a tone which he pro-
bably soon regretted, seeing the pain it gave to his
own countrymen ; but the Count replied with that
almost unvarying good nature for which he was so
distinguished, and with a diplomatic logic which
Lord JOHN'S countrymen greatly preferred to that
of their own Foreign Secretary. And now the
constitutional lord could say of the man who is
beyond doubt the real founder of Italian constitu-
tionalism—" I cannot but feel it due to the memory
of him who is gone to say, that I believe there never
was a man who devoted himself heart, and mind,
and soul, more entirely to his country than the late

Count CAVOIJR.9
Not less distinct was Lord PALMERSTON'S testi-
mony to the worth and merits of the great Italian.
Sir ROBERT PEEL seemed to wish for some record
on our journals similar to that which the French
Parliament entered on theirs, on the occasion of his
father's death; but this, as the Premier observed,
was not English practice in reference to the loss of
even her greatest statesmen. His tribute of praise
Was, however, more specific, and much warmer,
than that of the Foreign Secretary. It was
something for his loss to be spoken cf
by the most veteran statesman of Europe,
amidst the long and loud cheers of the house,
as " the loss of that distinguished man—a
loss not only to his own country, deeply to be de-
plored, but a loss undoubtedly to the whole of
Europe, and whose memory will be embalmed in
the grateful recollection of his countrymen, and in
the admiration of mankind so long as history will
record his deeds ;" something to have it said by
such a man that his acts which attracted most the
attention of the world were probably surpassed by
others for which his countrymen would yet more
revere his name. "It should be recollected that he
laid the foundation of improvements, legal, politi-
Cal, and social, in all the internal affairs of the
Italian people, which will long survive him, and
will be remembered among those who are to come
berearter." That the tccral to be " drawn from the
life of Count Cavour is this—that a man of tran-
scendent talents, of indomitable energy, of inex-

, ----
1 ,tinguishable patriotism, was, by the impulses which
bis own single mind may give to his countrymen,
aiding a righteous cause—which I shall so call it,
in spite of what may be said—and seizing favour-
.i,, able opportunities, notwithstanding difficulties
