THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, AND GENERAL COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER

his twenty years of political life, was the greater
part of that time a professing Conservative ; and
now, with ultra-Radicals for colleagues in office, he
forms part of a pageant in which the Manchester
Radicals—who had even ventured to talk of the
assassination of Sir ROBERT PEEL as an act which
might be justified—erect a statue to his memory,
the sole cause of their laudation being the grossest
act of political treachery of which any Minister was
ever guilty. Mr. GLADSTONE might, with great
propriety, hold in • respect the memory of his
political Mentor, but it was an'utter obliviousness
of good taste, or a total recklessness of his own
character, which induced him to join in such a
celebration as that on Wednesday last. His Con-
servative professions must have been thrown to
the winds, and therefore we are compelled to accept
the latter alternative, that he who was once the
hope of the great Conservative party, having taken
the first false step, is determined to be consistent
only in error. It may suit the shallow intellects
of manufacturing politicians to repeat the balder-
dash with which their idol sought to justify his
perfidy, by talking of the poor man eating his loaf
unembittered by the sense of injustice; but Mr.
GLADSTONE has sense enough to perceive its
thorough absurdity, and therefore has less excuse
for not only joining in the treachery which con-
summated Free-trade, but also in contributing to
the posthumous reward which Manchester paid to
its lately-adopted idol. He has evidently forfeited
his own esteem ; and, conscious that his former
position as a Conservative is gone for ever, as will
be his seat for Oxford University on the next
opportunity, he is making to himself friends of the
Mammon of unrighteousness, and preparing for a
rivalry in popular favour with Messrs. COBDEN,
BRIGHT, and others of that clique. To such a
decay of his once clear intellect can we alone at-
' tribute the fulsome laudation of the policy of the
present Ministry with which he garnished his
speech to his new friends. His allusions to the
state of the Revenue were a covert eulogy on The
policy with which he has identified himself; 'but in
reality the evidence is worthless, unless he can
prove that the gold discoveries in California and
Australia, with their results of emigration, in-
creased. exports, and augmented wages, were pro-
duced by Free-trade. There was, however,n slight
draWback to the picture of prosperity 'which he
was 'so anxious to clisplay, and he was 'compelled;
-with that show of candour which served his poli-
tical master on so many occasions, to acknowledge
' that the cheap bread, which was the ,especial object
'of the Free-traders, was not obtainable at present.
The price of grain, he admitted, was very high, but
'then there were no complaints.; -so that, according
'to this showing, it is merely a question of feeling
whether the consumers please to 'be content with
high prices, when they cannot see a way to help
themselves. It is gratifYingto know that there
is so much pulific virtue -as not to complain of
the loss of cheap bread=; but -Ave much question
its permanence when a cessation of the late
exorbitant demands forlabourAall have dimmed
the sunny side,of the picture.

THE believers, or 'pretenders to a belief, in the
dream of universal peace, have been magnifying
their own wisdom by a demonstration in the good
old city of Edinburgh ; their adopted idol being
the man of unadorned eloquence, whom Manchester
and the West Riding 'of -Yorkshire delight to.
honour. There is something absurdly ridiculous
in the way lin which these -little men indulge in
dreamy landations about 'the blessings of peace
and the horrors of war, as -though all the rest• of
the world were of the most=canguinary dispositions,
eagerly seeking for oppottantities to rush into hos-
tilities with each Other. Our safety was threatened.
by the dished state .Oft-fhe Continent and 'the
evident preparations for :war of a neighbouring
potentate, Nilo' had violated-the most solemn oaths
in order to :reach his present elevation, and .yet
England, is "Christian - meekness, after the true
fashion of these solemn • pretenders to piety, was
to propitiate -the mercy of reckless invaders by
dismantling her fleets mididisbanding her armies.
As the richeiit 'nation 'in the world, we presented
the strongest • temptations tto aggression, if our
means of defence were wanting.; and yet, with our
Bibles in one Aaand ,arid cilieDes in the other, we
were to quietly -.rely for ear security upon the
effect which our good exairiple would have-upon
our enemies. likuchargumeuts are too prepostenaus
for serious refutation, and ye hey form the fustian
with which the leaders of `the Peace Conference
seek to beguile their dupes. They tell us that the'
maintenance of fleets and arM.lO3 involves a serious
charge upon the *industry of peaceful men, as
though mep ina rich old country could be peaceful
. and industrious, 'Without fleets:and armies, so long
.tas the world contriins other men, actuated by the
Impulse Of human passions instead of guided by
(Christian precepts. Weans of defence are neces-
- %wily expensive. Ittlner's patent robber-defying
:safes cost money, and,so do loft lholts, and bars,
• policemen, magistrates, judges, ptisons, and all the
• other accessories for the puniShmentof crime ; but
'they are not the less indispensable,.to
long as the
peaceful men have something worth protecting,
and :ethers will deprive Ahem :of 'it if they can.
When Messrs. COBDEN, /3EIGHT, and CO., trust
their ;own valuables to the security,of the public
'honesty, we may have some faithiirtlieir dogmas
about•national defences, but they have never yet
attempted to put their professions Into practice in
-the slightest degree. It was a sad waste of the
.public money to employ soldiersto defend-the Cape
Colony •agifinst the aggressions .of the Kaffirs,
when Mr. 13rIGHT could have managed the affair
so much.cheaper, and more effectually, with:a sup-
ply of ,ealico. it is worse than aboard to urge on
the Government to send a British fleet for the
defence of Turkey, when Mr. COBDEN can erun!FEe
the Emperor of Russia like a piece of paper. The
standing demand of these peace-mongers is for ,
international arbitration, as though every one else
were oblivious of the fact that for nearly forty
years almost all disputes between civilised nations
have been settled -by negotiation. Such is the
case now in the great Turkish question ; but it is
equally clear that negotiation would be of very
little avail, if the high contracting parties had not
fleets and armies with which to strengthen their
argunients and enforce their directions. It is the
intelligible argument of the strong arm which has
the greatest weight in all such negotiations, and
so long as it is wielded by England in the cause
of justice, the greatest possible
security is afforded
for the maintenance of peace.

NVE published last week, in our Second Edition,
the state of the National Revenue, as made up to
the 10th of October, and which, no doubt, on the
first survey of the totals, presents a satisfactory
evidence of the elasticity of the public resources.
A consideration, however, of the items, and the
probable causes of the apparent increase, will tend
somewhat to qualify the note of triumph with
which it has been ushered into notice by those who
still cling to their belief in Free-trade policy. It
will be observed that by far the largest item of
increase on the Account, both for the year andethe
quarter, is the Repayment of Advances, amounting
on the year to £618,008,
and on the quarter to
£207,212, while the item of Imprest and other
Money adds £133,880 to the year's account.
These are not sources of Revenue, although
brought into the Account as being receipts into
the Exchequer ) but if the statement be confined
