and Lord Stanley to the opposition benches.-
i Having been thus pnrged of the irritation, the
\ remaining component parts of the cabinet uni
ted again cordially as if nothing had occurred
to mar their harmony
Peel, it would seem, supported by two or
three of his colleagues wished to open the ports
for the admission of corn, duty free, when the
potato disease became alarming. The majority
of the cabinet opposed his views, and finding
their differences only widened by discussion,
they went in. "a body 10 the Isle of Wight, where
he Queen was then staying, aud paced their
resignation in her hands. The subsequent re-
suits are patent 10 the world Lord John Rus.
sci was confded the task OF forming cabinet,
which broke down through tie difference be-
tween Lords Grey and Palmerston. Our repub-
lcan readers who take an interest in the style OF
communication between the sovereign and her
advisers for the time being, will peruse the
notes which the present and the expectant pre-
mier addressed to her majesty during the minis
teria interregnum The grammatical construc-
tion of the notes has undergone much torture by
the Sun reporters of the rival statesmen in the
Ipress.
Sir Robert Peel was never very happy in his
epistolary correspondence; and the notes of Lord
John Russell are nothing but palpable specimens
of mediocrity. Both statesmen, in their way,
are able and polished men; but when ingenuity
puts itself on the rack to "pick hoe'' in the
syntax of those who rule empires, the attempt
prompted by the high literary talent which the
) English press exhibits, is certainly not unsuc-
cessul If greatness has its sweets, it has also
its ascidity; and amongst the penalties which
} public men pay for popularity, not the least an
, noyng is the dissection which the anatomists Of
f the ''ionrth estate' apply TO all whom they love
not the higher the game, the more earnestly is
the labor ofloye performed.
, On the first night Of the session, the interest
4 centered in the ministerial explanations. These
: explanations were principally confined TO the
r popular branch of the Legislature, Tor the theme
was evidently dstaseful to the seceder, Lord
e Stanley. On subsequent night, however, the
Duke of Richmond called upon the Duke of
a Wellington to supply his version, and he preta-
e ced his request by asking whether the hero of
n hundred fights had received her Majcsty's per-
mission to do so. The Duke, with the frankness
+ aud promptness which mark his conduct, Imme
: dAtely launched into u history Of the affair. Ii
+ was very different story from that Of his oily
y and appearance loving colleague at the head Of
: the government. The cabinet differed about the
corn-aws, and resigned. The Duke dislked
1.-The repeal Of these laws, but he disIiked differ
ence in ths cabinet more. To preserve unanim-
, ity of opinion he %as ready 10 sacrifice any law
i. Ito give up any pei scheme
f Accordingly, when the wings, through divided
o councils, broke down, Sir Robert Peel wrote to
| the Duke, who was in the country at the time,
telling him that he would meet Parliament alone,
fIif necessary, and propose a repeal of the corn
+ laws. The Duke Immediately gave in his adhe-
sion, and highly praised the "pluck" Of his light
= honorable friend in coming to such deternina-
r ton; il was what he would have done himself
} under the pressure Of similar circumstances
+ Altogether The Dukes explanation showed how
, differently education and character cause men TO
5 view the same facts, The large and compre-
t hensVe vision Of the statesman contrasts anu
singly, in this instance, with the narrower range
5 Of the military dscipIinarian.
9 If the protectionist party IN Parliament and
2 the country are neither numerically strong, nor
Il intellectually powerful, they make up for their
o weakness by incessant clamor and grumbling.--
G They are maddcned by Peel's tergiyersation,and
d curses loud and deep accompany erexecraton
s. of the man whom they placed in Office to betay
= them. But good deal of this anger is stmula-
h ted After all, it is only the beggarly portion OF
r. 1.-The aristocracy-hose whose estates are mort
@ gagged as high as their titlcs--that are the clam
orous oppooents of free trade. The solvent,
l. wealthy portion of the lords of the soil, know
h we'll that with free trade the general prosperity
e of the country must improve, and that agricuI-
If ture, like every other interest, cannot fail TO be
n the recipient Of increased gain from increased
v trade and commerce.
e Nothing can take from agriculture the protec-
ton which the native grover has over the foreign
). importer; the treights, charges and expenses
s which must always accompany the TRANSMISSION
h OF heavy article like grain, amount, in the ag-
to considerable bounty in favor of the
v native over the importing farmer and merchant
o Nevertheless, TO hear the waillngs and lamen-
:. tatlons ol the pro-corn party in Parliament and
i elsewhere, persons ignorant of the fact would
believe that, in a densely populated country like
S ours, whichis increased at the rate Of one mil.
lion of souls every three years, the price of bread
e would become SO cheap as to ruin all who are en-.
: gagged in its production.
