NJ Lsyard corresponding in spirit II NOT IN iettsf
70 that OF Lord Peterborough. and one BY Mr..
,iiInes Gibson the member for Manchester
and colleague of Mr.. John Bright, corresponding
both in spirit and letter with that Of Lord Grey,
whose opinions he shares not alone on the subject
of peace but on nearly every other politics ques-
ZION The assurance Of the Premier, supported
bv bisenyoys made on the eve of disc lssion, that
tho Conferences were not closed but that prop
ositious which gave some hopes OF peace would
ba submitted for fresh consideration, removed
the occasion for Mr.. Gibson's motion, which was
accordingly withdrawn. Had it gone to debate and
division, it would have found perhaps one hun
dred votes and the greater portion Of "the tai
scents" That cohesion of the Peelite and Free
trade section of which we forewarned our read
ora some time since, has, after some coy firta-
tiou. been almost perfected. For though there
be still two Kings of Brentford, they both smell
of the same rose.
Mr.. Layard's motion, too. as we predictedla
week, in opposition to all the journals Of this
and the opposite side Of the Atlantic, went the
way of its Peterborough kinsman in the Lords.
Scared by the secession Of so many Of his adhe-
rents on the division in the Upper House, Lord
DERBY summoned private meeting of his party
at bis residence in st. James-square, where he
found that the objection to " the merit portion
of the resolutions among his aristocratic fol-
levers was additionally sweled by objections
to the man. To meet the difficulty reso-
luton full of sonorous patitudes signi-
IL L. alf fn
which the plant Layard gave way. Mr.
Dsraeli, as usual, threw up q brilliant
succession of observation-disclosures that broke
amid murmurs of admiration into thousand
stars but left not track flight across the air.
He was followed by Mr.. Gladstone in peace
speech which delighted in presenting every
point in every possible point Of view and leaving
every one to select his own point. After
jaunty epilogue from Palmerston, the substitute
of Disraeli met the fate which would have fallen
on the motion of Layard replaced. The curtain
again fell upon this "scene" with Palmerston in
possession of the stage with majority of over
one hundred votes. Unless disturbed by the
meeting of some unruly lieutenant in his own
camp like Lord John RUSSELL or shaken by some
sudden rude shock from abroad, he is now
master of the situation until the opening of the
session of next year.
The chief result of the debate was an exhibi-
tion of the strength Of the peace party, which
is daily growing in number and in power, and of
the weakness of the party born in the London
Tavern, which could find. except Mr. Layard
and some one or two others, none so poor to do
it reverence. Doubtless this administrative
reform when put before the country hereafter
in some broader and holder form as substantive
and enduring measure not q mere change of
men, will command support But its being
coupled with the war-cry at this moment
shears it Of the support Of all the commercial
and influential men. AS for tho brute masses
of England, like long-kenneled hounds who have
had the fret taste of blood, they are for the
moment war mad and have no time to compare
the merits Of the various coming men. Revo-
lutions. as history proves, never take place
during such wars, though they may follow.
