Of the debate. Besde a host Of d.. minoTAm gen

Home Secretary, and finally Pslmers:on, who

Not word had be said in the whole course Of tae

Then, and then only, he got up. The runors
brought up to the Treasury Bench by their un-
deIstappeIs, the general disposition Of the
House made defeat certain-a defeat which
ruined his colleagues, but could not iojure him.

volyed upon him, almost az duty of courtesy, TO
bow them out Aud Of this he acquitted himself
by his speech just before the division.
Palmer,ton, indeed, has managed his resources
well. Voted to be, on the Pac,iico question, the
truly English Minister, " he has held that char.
scter ever since, TO such an extent that In spite
Of all astounding revelations, John Bull always
thought himself sold to some foreign power as
soon as Palmerston lea the Foreign Office.
Elected out of this Office by Lord John Russell
in very unceremonious way, he frightened that
little man into silence respecting the causes OF
this election, and from that moment the L" truly
English Min'ster' excited Il fresh interest as
the innocent victim Of ambitious and Incapable
colleagues as the man whom the Wings had be-
tIsyed. After the downfall Of the Derby Mnis-
try, he was put into the Home Office, position
which again made him appear the victim. Tney
could not do without the great man whom they
all hated, and as they would not put him into that
position which belonged to him, they pu. him oil
with place far too low for such genius. So
thought John Bull, and was prouder It'll of his
l. 10. tka kr,.ly Inn ltah
Minister hustled about in his subordinate place,
medoling with Justices of the Peace, interfering
with cabmen, reprimanding Boards of Sewerage,
tpiJg his powers of eloquence upon the licensing
system, graphing with the great Smoke Question,
attempting police Capitalization, and putting
barrier in the way Of iLtramural interments.
The truly English Minister His rule of conduct,
his source Of information, his treasury Of new
measures and reforms, were the nterminsble let
tiers of " Paterfamilias In The Tunes. OF course,
nobody was better pleased than Paterfamilias,
whose like form the majority Of the voting mid
die CLASSES of Eogland, and Palmerston becsme
their idol. See what great man can make Of
"a little place what former Home-Secretary
lever thought Of removing such nuisances! - For
all that, neither we're cabs reformed, nor smoke
suppressed, nor intramural churchyard done
away with, nor the police centralized, nor any of
these great reforms carried-but that WAS the
fault Of Palmerstons envious and thick headed
colleagues By and BY, this busting, meddns
propensity was considered as the proof of great
energy and activity; and this unsteadiest of all
English statesmen who never could bring either
u negotiation or bill in Parliament to 4 salts.
