The treatment of Mr. BRIGHT is certainly about
the most flagrant among the many flagrant inci-
dents marking the formation of the new Coalition
PALMERSTON Government. Why Mr. COBDEN
should be nominated for the Presidency of the
Board of Trade, and Mr. MILNER GIBSON for the
Poor Law Board, and Mr. BRIGHT passed over
altogether, passes any rational observer's compre-
hension. It cannot possibly be on account of his
championship of the Ballot, for instance—because
both his views upon that political question, as up

almost every other that could be mentioned, are
identical with those entertained by the member for
Rochdale and the member for Ashton-under-Lyne.
It cannot either be, by any possibility, because Mr.
BRIGHT is an apostle of the preposterous peace-at-
any-price principle. For how in this matter was
it with Mr. COBDEN, upon the most memorable of
all the occasions when peace-at-any-price principles
were declared for in the lower House of Parlia-
ment ? Why, for that matter, don't we:all recol-

lect as well as possible that Mr. COBDEN has
distinctly suffered the penalty of a two years'
absence from the House of Commons by reason of
that very vote of his upon the war with China—

. when, with an " awkward squad" of sympathisers,
he marched upon his unconscious road to Coventry
into that lobby over against the one into which
passed the leader of the present new Coalition
Government. Because of that vote Mr. COBDEN
was summarily rejected by his old constituency at
Huddersfield. Yet—a couple of years pass by, mid.
10! the conscientious antagonist of the Chinese war,
the reprobator of the Palmerstonian system, the
meek, leek-eating, peace-at-any-price victim of
Huddersfield, is selected by Lord PALMERSTON to
sit down cheek-by-jowl with him in the same
Cabinet ; and that, moreover, at the very period
when a great war is raging in Northern Italy—a
war that -may possibly, in its development, drag
England by necessity, against her own preference
for neutrality, into a participation in the struggle.
Remembering Mr. COBDEN'S opinions upon War
and Peace, remembering his vote upon the Chinese
Question, remembering the very reason for his late
two years' banishment from the popular branch of
the Legislature, it does certainly appear to be no
more plausible because of Mr. BRIGHT'S peace-
at-any-price views, than because of his well-known
advocacy of the Ballot, that he has been passed
over at the very moment when his colleagues of
Rochdale and Ashton-under-Lyne are being enrolled
upon the Administration.

Certainly, looking at the strange companions
brought together upon the great Bed of Ware of
this Coalition Cabinet of sixteen—one seems to be
realising some at least of the characteristics of the

Pohtical Millennium. Here is the lamb of Roch-
dale lying down beside the lion of Tiverton. Here
is the basilisk of the City of London allowing for
once to nestle beside him the dove of Ashton-under-
Lyne. The companionship is all the more remarkable,
when one remembers that there, at that same
council board, will sit, in t heinappropriate charac-
ter of Postmaster-General—a _
position totally un-
worthy of his great powers and Of his late glorious
achievements—that famous ex-Governor of Canada,
whose diplomatic genius has within the last year
opened up the empires of China and Japan for the
first, time in the history of the world—
opened them
up to all the benigner influences of modern civilisa-
tion. The selection of Lord ELGIN for a seat in
the Cabinet was one of the happiest :piniong all
