NUMBER 90

| England-EaIi of the Derby Ministry.
The derby Administration has had but a short
! lite, and not a very merry one either, at that
our advices by the Asia to-day, sealing its fate,
on the evening Of the I7th
| The speech oi Mr.. ID Israeli, the unfortunate
| Chancellor Of the Eachcguer, is represented to
| have been exccedingly able argum. NATIVE, and
: impassioned eyen-but all could not save him
from the defeat which has ov rtaken him. We
qu 'te his peroration, as we tind il hastily sketch
ed in the Liverpool papers:
He had been told TO withdraw his budget
He had been told that Mr. Pitt withdrew his
bnigei; and he knew that others had withdrawn
their budgets. He did mol aspire TO the fame Of
MIR. PHI, but he would not submit TO the deg
radiation OF others. No, he had seen the conse
quences OF Il government not being able to pass
their measures consequences not honorable to
The government, not advantageous TO the coun-
try, and no. conducive to the reputation of the
house. He knew what he had u face-he had
to facea coalition. Combination mi .ht be sue
cessiul-but coalitions, though they had been
successful, had always found that their triumph
had been v, ry brief. (Cheers) lie knew that
England did not love coalitions. Otenewed
cheers.) Iie appealed from their coalition to
that public opinion which governed the country
-Qoud cheers from the ministerial benches)-
whose wise and irresistible voice cauld control
even the DEGREES of parliament, and without
whose full support even Tho most august and
ancient insn'Ufions We're but ''the baseless fab
ric OF vision" - Loud and long repeated
cheers.l
The speech Of Mr. Gladstone, following that
Of MIR. Israeli, was terribly severe upon the
Chancellor, and decidedly more personal than
polite The following extract is a specimen:
ssMr. Gladstone said he must tell the right
I'LL
say to his right honorable friend the member for
Carlisle thai he regarded him, but that he did
not respect him-[lo cheers He must tell
the right honorable gentleman that whatever he
had lsarned-and he had learned much-he had
not yet learned the limits Of discretion, of mod
Grafton, and of iorbearance-[great cheering and
Confusion that ought to restrain the conduct
and language Of every member of that house,
the disregard of which was an offence in the
meanest amongst them, but Of ten-fold weight
when committed by the leSder Of the House
Of commons. Loud and long repeated cheers. j
'The Chancellor Of the Exche quer had in
cluded in his new scheme principles that invol
we'd the subversion of all those rules ofpyudence
heretofore deemed necessary for the conduct Of
the financial affairs of the country lie had. in
other words, presented to the house budget
without surplus. The sum Of f400, 900 was
neither more nor less than borrowed money.
and it Way this which, upon the showing and
statements of the Chancellor of the Exchequer,
alone constituted his surpIus These were not
times when we ought to trle with the revenue.
No economy was SO good as that of maintaining
the finances IN high state of credit. He voted
against the .dget of the Chancellor of the Ex.
chequer, not only because he disapproved upon
general grounds OF the principles Of the budget,
but emphaticaliy and peculiarly because it was
his firm conviction that the budget was one, he
would not say the most liberal, nor the most
radical, but the most subversivc in its tendencies
and ultimate effects which he had even known
submitted 10 this house. [Cheers and counter
cheers.
After attempt on the part of Mr.. Connolly
10 address the house, the committee DIVIDED,
when the numbers were Ayes, 256; noes, 305.
Majority against the Government, 10. The
house received the result with repeated bursts
of applause.
We wonder how long Johnny Bulls organs
will continue to talk of rowdyism in the Ameri

men of Difference and refinement We think
that the London Times will have to 20 back to
the head Of American Legislation. ere it can
point out an occurrence, OF disreputable
character as the above instance of rowdyism, in
the closing scene of the Chanccllor's struggle
to sustain his BUDGET
