Lord Dcrby-better known politically as s'the
fiery Stanley"-has besought forbearanco, and OBJ
tanned it-but how long can prime minister of his
calibre rest content with his ambition oabined,

bility Of temper and quarrelsome dispositon-a
who never could agree for long with friond or foe
with anything or anybody-tho frs-brand of tho
House of Commons--who, once liberal, few off at

extensive systom of bribery, he certain to lose
his seat. This he could not do, as his funds were

to effect which, an inventory Of his property and

should be anxious to taste the sweets Of Office and
pick up few official crumbs, before being turned
out And SO it is with all his clioue-long excu-
ded from Office, with power and patronage denied
them, they have fallen the state like a pack Of
hungry wolves ; and the forbearance they ask is
in plain English, permission to make one hearty
meal before they are driven out. And yet to such
men is conided the task of holding the balance Of
power which sways the destinies of Europe
Americans ashland naturay-how is it that
England quietly submits to this state of things!
The reply conveys the simple truth-tired of Lord
John RUSSELL vacation and inertness-tired Of tho
family compact of the Grays. Elliotts, and Russolls
disguised with the Premicr's jealousy Of Palmer
ston, and his desire to stand STILL instead of march
ing onward with the times. The people suffered
Lord John Russell and his family clique to fall g-
nominously-a fall that will teach them good and
wholesome lesson-a fall which few Englishmen can
or will regret. Lord John now evidently sees the
error of his ways, and the folly of attempting to
eonfne the ministerial offces to any family clique
however numerous and competent tho members may
be. Hence, in any administration which he
may form, or be included in, we shall see whole
sale turn out Of the Grays and Ellots, and the in
fusion of new and vigorous blood. AS to the con-
tinued retention of office by the Derby ministry, or
any other which is not extremely liberal, regard
that as sheer impossibility The famous 6 Derby
Oily" is as sure to be upset, have the honor to
subscribe myself, yours obediently,
