was formed from the ranks Of the present oppo
sition would that Cabinet receive sufficient support
from the party which, by union ousted Lord DERBY
keep his successor in placer We think and therefore
we say the country is in false position, and the present
Ministry and any which may succeed it under present
circumstances is and will be also in false position
The evils unayodaby attendant upon this system
becoming every day more and more apparent The ex.
ecutve details Of Government, which might for the most
part be exercised Independently of individual opinion
legislative changes entrusted to men, because
they are the best calculated attend to those particular
Details but because they hold abstract opinions upon
general subjects widely apart from their particular official
duties in unison with the political party who has attain
ed office.
We should not have obtruded so long dissertation
upon the present position of English political parties if
we had not thought that the line of argument had toer
ably direct bearing upen all countries which enjoy
sonable approximation free form of Government and
increasing in application exactly in proportion the
Government increases in liberty The nearer the cup of
freedom Is filled to the brm the easier win be for any
rude hand to it overflow the care ought to be-
not to refuse to fill the cup but to guard it from any
rough contact with those who would disturb its equ-
librium.
So far respects Lord DERBYs administration we be-
held its advent to power with sorrow because feared
its policy would be retrogressive for it commenced
with declaration that it would the then pursued
financial arrangements under which the country
porous, and revert to discarded and papaby injurious
one Lord DERBY has de faeto, by himself and his
friends renowned that intention and although his doing
so may cause the breaking up Of his party and his retire
ment from Office many powerful opponents will no longer
beard him in anticipation, but quietly wait for the an
nouncemen of his policy He will have fair and candid
hearing and will probably not be opposed in his preim
nary arrangements for Speaker sc. We do not believe
that majority of the House is prepared to give Lord
DERBY factous opposition, but do believe that very
large majority are determined to oppose him in any and
every attempt at rerograde in the present
financial and commercial policy of the country In this
majority would be found every member of what Black
woods Magazine calls "the PEEL party the RUSSELL
VINO party, and the GRAHAM-CoBDEN- Rev dictionary
party" and to them would be added the Irish Brigade
numbering in the whole 375 votes and if to these be
added 100 Derbytes who will support any for
direct protection the strength of the Administration upon
the question which formed the very nucleus of their
policy will be reduced to about 49, should they dare
its advocacy now they holders Of office In the absence
of any knowledge of what Lord DERBYs intended policy
will be, think safe in saying that the House of
Commons will throw the least obstacle the way Of
Lord DERBYs administration prevent its stating fully
and freely what it intends do and how proposes
levy the taxes and spend Them and its ideas of the
proper administration of affairs at home and the rules
and principles of its foreign policy Having heard these
things, we trust they will be supported opposed
cording TO each mans appreciation of Them and
cording to previously concerted party organization
The opposition to Lord DERBY viii grow out of circum-
stances Our sincere wish is that he may so order and
control those circumstances render his admnistra

The Morning Chronicle regards Mr.. D'IsRAELI as the
presiding spirit and motivepower of the Administra-
ton This journal says the Chancellor Of the ExcHEoUER
although he took Office osensiby the disciple of Lord
DERBY and the advocate of his principles has
sdered the Premier and his policy any thing than
stepping Stones by which he may official
elevation and political ascendency. He is said have
been working from the first, like mole under cover to
undermine Lord DERBYs administration and promote
his ends by its destruction. His famous Budget
speech is adduced his first Of reachery and
numerous minor circumstances are strung together to
support the suppositon One thing appears certain the
Chancellor of the Exchequer is most sedulousy en-
gagged concoctng the grand financial scheme which is to
redeem far practicable all the promises of the Pro-
tectonists without running to the lately strongly
expressed feeling of the country in favor of freerade
Debyites express confidence that it Ou be DONE and that
Mr. D'IsRAELI is preparing to do it, Those who affect
know that honorable gentleman haye chrisened him the
Arful Dodge and say that he will establish DIS
administration upon the ruins Of the present DERBY
This may be so, but we have not penetration
enough discover hce he will find the materials for
such construction. Mr. DIsRAEL1's favorite theory
respecting race certainly receives strong confederation
from the existing state of European affairs since the
finances Of Austria, England France and Prussia say
nothing Of several minor States, this time under
the control Of individuals Of Mosaic Ara5 descent
We sorry that prosecutions Of the press after hay-
ing sumbered, and almost entirely slept since $780, have
recommended in IRELAND. Printing presses the allies
Of the Liberal party throughout Europe without which it
do little nothing but by which, when well served
and freely directed 1t is nyincibe Against the press
therefore the utmost efforts Of the Reactonary party
have always been directed The anti-dscusson crusade
has again commenced in IRELAND by fierce assault upon
journal named the Anglo Ce paper which has for
several years obtained considerable circulation in the
northern districts Of the Kingdom. Its tone has, on
general TOPICS been that Of manly Liberalism. Its editor
is Protestant and believe his creed is Presbyterian
But upon two subjects he has given offence the powers
that be- He has murmured loudly against the contnu-
ance Of the Established Church monopoly and he has
inveighed in very measured against the anti
tenant combination for the recovery rackrents and the
extinction Of leases which VIGOROUSLY exists among the
landlords For these offences the propretors Of the Anglo
Cell to be arragned at the bar Of the Court Of Queens
Bench next term at the suit of her MAJEsTYs ATTORNEY
GENERAL. This is only the commencement Of Lord
EGLsToNs forensic tournament against the liberty Of the
press in Ireland but IL foreshadows recurrence 10 the
