given place to one Of high Tory p'inci-
ples. From the tone Of the London press.
we should not infer that this last can long
maintain its hold of power II only does
so for the present, in consequence OF the
dissc nsions existing among its adversarics.
We publish elsewhere the speculaiions Of
the London papers.
The most remarkable men in the new
Ministry for talent and celebrity, are the
Earl Of Derby-more famous as Lord
Stanley. and Mr.. D'Isrmli. Lord Nal

been leader for many years. During
the discussion of the Corn Laws in &c.
We had the pleasure of hearing him speak
several times. He is by far the foremost
orator in the British Parliament. Unlike
all the rest ofthe Lords. whom we heard,
except Lord Bron CHAM, his manner is
easy and natural. He speaks off hand
without notes and apparently without
preparation; but always with brilliancy.
point and racincss. He does not stammer
at every word, like most of their Lord
ships, nor is he addicted to that ridiculous
and affected information. which is indescri-
babe, but which characterizes every sprig
Of the nobility; and his elocuion is rapid
and flowing, his enunciation clear and dis
linct. and he emphasizes his words as
