LONDON, APRIL %, 1858.
The members Of the present House of Commons
we're nearly all elected with reference to the ques
ion of protection or free trade. Nearly all the
Wings and Peelites, all the Reformers, and the
greater part of the Irish members were elected as
ree-traders whilst the landed and agricultural in

vaich they offered Thus they joined the Irish members
upon the question Of Klmainham hospital, and the Re-
formers upon the division the advertisement duty and
in both cases Ministers were left in minority These
were minor POINTS and defeat Of little consequence
for II is well understood that upon all leading and inn
portant points Of foreign and domestic policy Ministers
can command most decided majority. Nevertheless
defeat is always damaging the defeated party and it
would be unbecoming and destructive any Adminstra
ton to be subjected to repeated discomftures The
