hardly find both in person or feeling more gal
liant or chivalrous representative than Lord Pal
merston, snd in all his times of trial II has stood
around him like wall of fire
But thi. feeling is now going through severely

ask what boots to them the holy places The
holiest of places to them is home, and war Is max
inc il cold and cherries. Already meetings OF the
working men have been held in the park In London
and the first mutterings of the thunder are heard
around Manchester and the manufacturing districts
While among the higher commercial classes upon
whose command of capital the employment oil the
other classes depend, we doubt not the recent
rises of interest on Change alley and Capel court
have sent the war valor oOzing out of many
hitherto valiant Bob Acres inger.ends
All these signs in the political heavens OF En.
glad. clear to those ben; on seeing them, WIKI have
tendency to dispose mems minds to peace and to
prefer 10 gallant time of war, with It's long alter
penar &c. such an ungslant and unrOmantic period
of repose as that under which, in Walpole's times,
England grew fat, made merry, and feasted COM
fortably every day, without particular -enown but
with much solid comfort. Should the public mind
once veer toward peace, the position Of Paluerston
becomes precarious. His chief stresgth lies, like
Louis Nspoleon's, among the masses, who fancy
him the manly type of English pluck and pride,
as the French rustic masses believe the name OF
Napoleon identified with Ia giOire. That feeling
once even weakened-and it is of mushroom birth
and endurance-snd Lord Palmerston ceases to
hold majority in the Commons for moment or
even that moral respect which sometimes supplies
IFS place. His whole strength comes from out OF
doors and draws its force from the pride-lmpss-
stoned fountain of the peoples heart.
In the House of Commons he cannot muster of
his own specisl forces on the sharpest whip, more
than two hundred including the Irish party, doubt
fuls and Lord John Russell and the personal adhe
rents who, even in misfortune-some few from
fidelity, some from absence Of field elsewhere
follow fallen man. This is sufficient to sustain
him, as long as dread Of opposing public opinion
will force from the various other standards large
number Of recruits and cOnfne their leaders to
mere harrassing attacks, butpreyent them from en-.
teripg upon a regular pitched battle. But the mo-
ment that public opinion, however ieeby, gives
indication of a more subdued tone, the power Of
Psmerston ceases to command a msjOrity, or
chance Of what might lead to ia dissolution.
1t is know that the Queen of England and her
consort, though always studiously consulting the
feelings of the English people have not only con-
siderable distrust of Lord Pamerston, but also
considerable aversion to the present war Where
the popular feeling demanded it, they would at
once allow the defeated minister a dissolution.
But until the popular feeling is in temper not to
demand il. it is not likely the House OF Com
mons will force change
We know not, and it would be difficult even on
the spot to tell, whether that hour has come. But
The London Times and many other English papers
already foreshadow new combination, which, if
formed, would at once place the present govern
ment of England under defeat. The opposition
headed by SIr. Disneli, and numbering in itself
two hundred and fifty-more than necessary to
defeat the PalmerstOn party, if unsustaned by the
other sectons-musr, of course, when supported by
the united strengthens insnuated as likely, by The
Times, of Manchester and Peefite diyisiOn-hold
a large.snSorty in the House. Such combina-
ton can never be more than destructive. 1t can
never be constructive. Mr.. Gladstone and the
Peel party, ard Mr.. Bright and the Manchester
party may for the higher and hOlier object in their
estimation-that of setting a close to the war
combine to drive out the present government
But there the union ends. The fruits of victory
will fall to Lord Derby and Mr.. Disraeli.
Our impression, from the present condition Of
the House of Commons, is that they will be ready
for peace, so soon as the popular sentiment will
permit it,
That the tendency of orr State not indeed in
