•Every animal knowit imtinctively where its strength'lies.
The bull never fails to have recourse to his horns, and the
ass to his heels. .4% similar instinct seems to have guided
Mu. Gallant Premier. Ile oWeel his elevation to one of
those fortunate eorOonettlres Which occur once in a cen-
tury ; and it It hot saying nii eh to affirm, that if any one
htti ptoposed his Grace for Pt'emit;i. 4.4er., or Tour years
ago, he would have incitrrett tome risk of being clapped-
into one Of Ate, Warblirton's houses. But When Ministry
after Ministry were falling to pieces, and very able and
nklarthy men in other respects, seemed to labour under some
invincible necessity of flying off from each other, people
were amused with the idea of a ,plain blunt man,
like the Duke, who they ihohght Could have no feeling of
rivalry on aceOnni of abilities himself, acting as a sort
of drill in the tahinet, and coercing. the mutinous, sen-
sltiVs, br refractory spirits in it. His Glace's installation

Dudley will keep him from cormsitting. the country by his

way for ridding hitntelf of the heads out of the Cabinet.
Your fighting men arc the men for his purpose. • It is not
eloquence which he requires (for the less that is said of him
and his measures the better), but the :means of silencing
eloquence. One of our Parliaments was called the Parr
liantentunt Indoclunt • we tsupposo this will be called the
Parliamentum Ihfi,cOnifh.—The tact was obvious on
Friday night.—There was Sir Alettander Hope like
a Draertiansir, when a delicate allusion was made to his
very disinterested eulogy of fttifitary capability for cicil
offices, lookiag as fierce as a turkey cock,—" meaning me,
Sir,!" We all remember the services performed by Sir
Henry 1-lardinge in the discussions about the Deccan prize-
money. Mr. Spring Rice, at all events, 'Who busied him-
self a good deal afterwards about ;the matter, cannot have
forgotten them. The buke, no doubt, chuckles; at the idea
of putting its opponents to flight by his fire-eatera. What
with his military Ministers and his military expectants,
there will be no want of force. For every antithesis dis-
charged lie will have another missile of a more tangible
kind in readinesa. It is said that one of the best of
Cicero's orations, which have come down to us, was not
the one delivered on the occasion that the great Roman
was so much agitated by the unusual assemblage of soldiers,
that his eloquence utterly deserted him. The application
we leave to others.
