not merely be their chief but their idol.
The Italians, together with the battalion' of
Zouaves associated with them, have unquestionably
gained the chief and the most important triumphs
of -the war. The battles of Palestro produced
much more important results than that of
Montebello. Indeed, the effect of the latter
is by no means clear. The Austrians declare that
they accomplished their object, which was merely
that of making a reconnaissance, and thereby
ascertaining the strength and position of the allied
troops. The first serious opposition which they
met with was from the Piedmontese cavalry under
General SONNAX, who really changed the fortune
of the day from defeat into victory. But it was the
Sardinians and Zouaves who forced the passage of
the Soda and captured Palestro, and afterwards
succeeded in defeating the attempt made for its
recapture ;
.at a most critical period followed up
the retreating enemy, capturing eight pieces of
cannon and 1,000 prisoners, and. driving 400 into
the canal, yhere they one and all were drowned.
This will en-able the Sardinians to effect a junction
with CANROI3fifT'S corps, and thus be very advan-
tageous to the allied cause.

A few days ago the oracle of the counting-house
and the Jupiter of humble journals, coolly an
nounced to us that it was a settled thing that Lord
DERBY and all pertaining to him were to be sent
across the floor of the House at the shortest possi-
ble notice after the reading of her MAJESTY'S
Speech. " My Lords" the leaders of the Lower
House had agreed to differ in private and to unite
in public, to shake hands in the douse, and to shake
fists outside'of it, and so the " Great Liberal Party"
was to be led to the promised land.
Somehow a hitch was suspected, and in a few
days both the quarrelling Lords were threatened
that, if they did not agree—woe betide them. They
might escape in this life—but there is a purgatory
for political reputation. An impartial posterity is
the Minos there. No acconnt'would be taken there
of a few years, more or less, of Premiership ; but
terrible would be the castigations of the man of
Premier grade who was unwilling to be anything
but Premier when his country—i.e., the Whigs of
the Kidderminster and Calne genus—want him
and another to be in one Ministry, when of course
both could not be, nominally, first. He of the two
Lords, be it which it might,who could not be satin-
, fled with a substantially equal position—he who
would not toss up for it—or he would not
refer the matter •to the arbitration og her MA-
JESTY—he must look forward to seeing his,
memory lashed without mercy by every Whig
historian for a century to come. " Vanity of
vanities," saith the Times, all your squabbles " are
vanity and vexation of spirit." History is the great
reality.' Be wise, my Lords, betimes. Agree—
re-open the path to office for your subordinates—let
them not shiver through another winter ; if you do,
not only will history rack your reputations, but
the Liberals may combine to instal 'more placable
leaders, and storm the Treasury benches without

We referred yesterday to the .conflicting state-
ments respecting GARIBALDI. One announced that
he was at Como, another that he had been at
Varese, where a strong Austrian force had appeared

tional Guard not to resist, and that he then fell
back on the Lago Maggiore. Another that they had
made an attack on Laveno—a strongly-fortified
town on the Lago Maggiore ; that it was maintained
the entire night and repeated in the evening, but
without result. This day, however, we have

you.
Surely they have listened to these entreaties and
threats, and all is arranged. But—and who would
have thought it—that Marplot, ROEBUCK, will be
no party to the bargain ! PALMERSTON on no
fPllow, but not my man. Lord
JOHN RUSSELL might have been, possibly, but he

gave the go-by to Mr. ROEBUCK, and Mr. ROEBUCK
will give the go-by to him. What right had he to
interfere? He to want to be consulted ? Well,

we predicted a few days before that he would think
he had a right to it. Vanity it might be—crotcheti-

what we believe to be the correct accouff

ness it might be. Abuse it how you will, he yet

of his position. It is said that he was in
the vicinity of Sondrio, the capital of the

would not think he was fairly used if two men, not

his intellectual superiors certainly, his superiors only

by the_luck of aristocratic position, and by having
trimmed twenty times to purchase official status as

Valteline, which is in a state of general
insurrection, and which has proclaimed VICTOR
E3I3IXNUEL. The dashing Republican leader was,
however, driven to take refuge in the mountains,

he would never have done—if two such men pre

closely pursued by General URBAN and an over
whelming force. It is said that the only issue for
him is the Stelvio. This is given as official news,
and it is but 'just to say that there has been far
greater accuracy and less exaggeration in the tele-
grams from Vienna than from those which have
come through Turin, Berne, or Paris.
It would be very deplorable if one who had
already so greatly distinguished himself by his
brilliant exploits, should, by being compelled
to take refuge in Switzerland, a country resolved
to maintain a strict neutrality, be prevented from
taking any further share in the war. The law of
the case is simple. It would become the duty of
the Swiss authorities to disarm and make prisoners
of the entire party, and to retain them in some
secure position, until they had bound themselves
by solemn obligations not to take any further share
in the war on either side. We can fancy what
would be the chagrin of the guerilla chief if reduced
to a state of inactivity, and prevented from taking
share in the contest gathering around him, or
acquiring a portion of the laurels now free for any
hand.
It is not always, however, that law is strictly car
vied into effect. Should he be compelled to cross into
Switzerland he may not feel disposed to lay down
his arms and surrender at discretion. The entire
Population are friendly not only to the cause in
which he is engaged, but to himself personally,
and before a sufficient body of troops could be
assembled to take forcible possession of his arms,
and make prisoners of his troops, he will receive
full information of their movements, and have
abundant time to return to the seat of war, and
escape from the district the neutrality whereof he
had violated. Nor does it follow by any
means that he will be compelled to cross
the Stelvio. He is in the mountains, and
there he will find a fortress in every rock. His
troops will be recruited and strengthened in every
mile of their way, and he will obtain the most will-
ing assistance and co-operation from every in-
habitant. It will not be easy then to dislodge him
from such a position, or compel him to encounter
the liabilities of entering on the Swiss soil. They
ma.. 7- anticipate it at Vienna. General URBAN may
fce.tdly anticipate that the partisan Chief will be
Ililaced hors de combat in one way or another, but
'in
have still faith in GARIBALDI, and believe that
in one Way or the other he will continue to evade

the party in pursuit.
Next to GAII.I.BALDI tlic public interest is con-
centred on Vlcron EMMANUEL himself. He has,
unquestionably, performed acts of brilliant gallantry,
such as will excite the enthusiasm of the troors
under his command to the highest degree. It is
not ai.ways that a commander participates in all the
clan,; ers of the soldier, nor is it right that he should
do s Jo. His life may be too valuable, under exist-
ing circumstances, 'to justify him in incurring any
unn wessary peril. But when he eau do so—know-
ing I ',hat competent men will remain to direct the
strate movements, there is nothing that excites
the ze; i. l and energy of the soldiers to such a pitch.

sumed to give their real superior the cold
shoulder. He knew there was no need for it
if their purposes were honest. He knew that
they knew, that if they had fair proposals
to make on behalf of the public, proposals
really better than those of the present Ministry,
that JOHN ARTHUR ROEBUCK was not the man to
refuse them. He would, therefore, have nothing to
do with helping them across the House. They
might sit on the Opposition benches till they grew
to them for what he cared, and he intimated pretty
plainly that he was not alone in his views. Of
course all the lightnings of the Thunderer fell next
day on his devoted head, which he, of course, inno-
cuously transmitted to mother earth.
But now for another change ! It is now dis-
covered that Liberals may, with consistent dignity,
be a powerful opposition. Their great Coryphoeus
Fox was in that position nearly all his life ; it is
something worth sitting in Parliament for, as a
party, to leave the initiative to Government, to take
the measures as they come from its hands, and to
mould them into a shape worth having. The Tories
bear now merely a conventional name ; the reality
is, a House of Lords consisting almost entirely of
one parti, and an active united body of three hun-
dred in the House of Commons, to oppose which,
the Liberals have almost no strength in the Lords,
and a wavering majority which can never be relied
on, of which one part deserts to the Tories, if the
Government proposes anything really liberal, and
another part deserts to the same side, if a party
move is made by those who want the Treasury
benches only. Of this temper Mr. ROEBUCK
declares himself to be. Mr. BRIGHT said much
the same in his speech to the working men
of Birmingham ; he would not ally himself
to any Government which would give the people
an unsubstantial Reform only ; and we know
what his ideas are of substantial Reform. And as
for Mr. COBDEN, we all remember that he publicly
professed his repentance for a vote once before,
which turned out Lord DERBY. Mr. MILNER
GIBSON has always shown the same dislike of
Whig party moves.
Of all this our great contemporary seems now to be
aware. It is actually discovered at length that the
two rival Lords may have lived too much and too
long in the atmosphere of office, and beneath the
sun of Royal favour, for their political health, and
that they may be as useful, and even perhaps more
so, in the bracing air of Opposition, as they could
be in the more luxurious atmosphere of office.
When RICIIARD COBDEN• was assdiled by some
troublesome Chartist orator at an Anti-Corn Law
meeting, and the cry arose, " Turn him out,"—
" No, no !" he woald exclaim, " keep him in, an
we'll convert him." And it seems to be at length
discovered that Conservatives arc capable of
honest conversion ; and that ivhen the re-
gponsibility is thrown on them of devising
measures which will satisfy the people, they actu-
ally, by a few trials, can find out what the people
want. And—herein very much like Whig Liberals
1
—though not disposed td proffer too much at first,
they are by no means disposed, when in office, to
