House of Commons, in reply to Lord Johr
Russell. The world comedies with Mr.
Golden, that the war might and ought Il
have been avoided Its immediate conse
qaences will be immense taxation in mo
ney as we'll as life on Great Britain and
France. Its ultimate result is most like
ly to be the overthrow of the British Ar
istocracy. The present Ministry is sus-
sained. but BY very small mjority-only
three votes on the Tarkish Loan ques ton
on tho 30th July. Before year. the ex-
element in England against the war will
be intense, unless some splendid succss.e.
shall be achived by the allies:
"Why, you are hurting your best blood
agains, that vast fortress (Sebastopoi) in
the attempt to do that which every high
military author'ty-Sir Howard Douglas,
Sir w. Napier and others-,ells you is
hopeless, and that, until you invest Sebas-
topol and besiege it according to the in
variable rules of war, there is no chance
of taking it. You know this, and yet you
are carrying on the war under the pre-
tence thst'You are fighting battle for the
liberties of all Europe. Hear, hear L
1t is not very complimentary TO tell all
Europe that you are fighting for its lber-
lies; neither do think that the Germans,
the Swedes the Danes, the Swiss, or 9th
ers will feel it as conpl ment to be told
SO but if you DO set up these mighty
Hn bo-
or use threats which you cannot carry out.
|, as an advocate for peace. tell you that
think this war might have been avoided,
but share with the rest Of you the rid-
cule which is l.eaped on this country for
the boast and braggadocia which in the
end are attended by such humble perform
ances. We are like the Chinese brandsh
ing paper shields with tigers heads on
I them. sounding gongs, and clustering in
the face Of the world and expecting it to

rations. Hear, hear

Of separating, and we are TO leave the
country in the hands of this Ministry,
drifting on in this war; with no object
avowed, and with nobo understanding
what the object of the war is Hear,
hear. declare. for myself, let the no
bic Lord say what he will do for change
in the Cabinet, that would rather taxe
the chances Of such change and would
infinitely rather see a Government formed
Of members from the other side OF the
House brought over to this side TO carry
on the war. Hear, hear. think that
this would give US better chance of re-
constituting an honest party. both in this
House and In this country. Hear, hear.

Lord Derby's Government regret the
result Of that motion, for it has cost the
country i00, 900, 900 of treasure, and be-
