THE SUN.
SATURDAY, JUNE 11, 1859.

The game is up—at least for the present. The
Coalition have triumphed—if triumph it be—by a
majority of thirteen in a House of six hundred and
thirty-seven members. Just mark—a House em-
bracing the whole constituency within only seven-
teen members ! Now, if thirteen be deemed a
majority representing the sense of the country, we
want to know where the other half of the sense of
the country has gone to. Perhaps to take the
benefit of the sea air according to the advice of
the State Physicians ! But no !—if the number
present last night counted some hundred or a hun-
dred and fifty members, we might allow thirteen
to be a good majority; but in a House nearly re-
presenting the whole, thirteen is a mere shadow—
very faintly foreshadowing the events which
are sure to follow. Again, do Lords PAL-
MERSTON and RUSSELL and their factious followers
imagine that the country will quietly submit to
their dictation ? If they do—what next ? When
a cabal has won its first trick it risks the game by
the overweening eagerness of its wild ambition.
So it may—indeed so it will be with the " masters
of the situation" as they deem themselves. But
wait a bit. There are such things as reckoning
without your host, and time will prove its correct-
ness in this instance as in many others.
It will be seen that on the house meeting this
day, its adjournment was moved till Friday next
by Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and agreed to by Lord
PALMERSTON. Thus the Twin-Doves have already
assumed their posts of honour and seated themselves
on the highest pinnacle of place and power
before they were invited ! What if the QUEEN
were to send for Mr. GLADSTONE, supposing Minis-
ters to resign—what then would be the wail in the
camp of the factious ! What the delight and the
derision throughout the country ! Why, we should
not be surprised to find the brother-rival conspira-
tors ready to outdo the fable of the Kilkenny cats.
As Sir JOHN PAEINGTON said last night—ths
only fault of the Government was that the Coalition
wanted their places—and we have said so, too.
But when people are bent on private ends under
the mask of the Public Good, they are ashamed
to own it, thus proving, after all, that there is some
virtue left which chokes the utterance of the evil-
disposed.

The speech of Mr. ROEBUCK was worthy of a
Briton ! He, indeed, is a true-hearted Tribune of
the People ; and long may he live to see his own
patriotic wishes realised at last, however much he
may fear for the destinies of England. We are not
afraid of England, supposing the honour of the coun-
trybe attempted to be sold again, as it has been by one
at Paris, and by the other at Vienna. A precious
couple, truly ! The one to cheat us of Reform, and li
the other to go and make a good (?) bargain at
Compeigne ! Bless the mark! What a couple of
jobbers ! No, no; the people of England are
strong and patriotic enough to take care
of themselves, and maintain the QUEEN'S
honour, her rights and dignity. Then, as to
that wandering will-of-a-wisp, the flickering
illusion of Reform—what do the people now think
of his prodigious stargazing, fancying himself in
the ascendant of place and power, and trusting to
the Professions of people over the water, much in
the same manner as many wiseacres here believed
in his sincerity, Why, he would have us turn
our swords into ploughshares, and all the rest of it
into pruning honks.
He would have the mil-
lennium arrive before its time, and trust to Pro-
vidence for his blunders and broken hopes. It
was quite amusing, on the appointment of a Com-
mittee to prepare the report on the Amendment,
to learn that the LUCIFER of the morning
was left
out !—tb e omission, or rather commission of the
proposed honour, was so marked, that some mem-
ber in pity called out—Let Mr. BRIGHT be added
to the number !—and what followed ? Why, that
