Lord Campbell's account would throw Sir
Leicester Dedlock into ct Of govt:
"And such scene Of confusion IS ensued at the STA
tion-ladies of rank separated from their friends ana
no one knowing which way to turn--he hoped 10
like the scene at Manehester sreur''oH tram tnan
anything else"
"The very valuable freight reaching London
about O'Clock in the morning could not find
single carriage or cab to take them to their homes.
Hero We will leave the Lords and their ladies'
The special grievances Of the Commons is thus OK
pounded by Mr.. Peacocke:
cit was generally supposed that the Refreshments
which had been provided the day before for the Men,
bers of the House of Lords and Commons had been
contracted for at the rate Of Is. Cd per head, while
much better care had been taken of the Clerks of the
Admiralty, fer whom every dehcacy OF the season had
been provided. Now when it was taken into consider
alton that several ladies board the vessel ap
ated to the Members Of the House OF Lords he
thought refreshments of good description at least
might have been procured for them as for the Admit
rally Clerks"
But, a. we learn from The Morning Star, the
Premier had bis special experiences on this curious
occasion:
"a ludicrous scene occurred on Wednesday
morning, at the Waterloo station OF the London
and South-W Western Railway, in which the noble
Premier played conspicuous part to the great amuse'
ment Of several of his colleagues and other members
Of the House of Commons. 1t seemed that the noble
Lord was rather late in his attendance at the station
the train which to convey the Members OF the
Lower House of Parliament to Portsmouth to witness
the raval review being about to start, and had, IN
fact, actually got in motion. Seeing the dilemma 10
which the noble Lord was placed, fellow member OF
he Administration at once threw open carnage door
for his Iorships reception. There was no time to be
lost and Lord PalmerstOn at proceeded to make
bis way into the carriage, and had partly got In when
his motions watched by policeman on duty,
who immediately rushed up to the carriage, threw his
aims round the noble Lord, and without more ado, ~
It aymis lifted HIM on to the platform, the train pro.
ceedjng without him, TO the sssoi ishment OF many
Members of the Legislature who witnessed the occur
renee The noble Lord subsequently proceeded. But
his Dsbaps were not to end here ior on his
Portsmouth, in making his way to the small vessel
which was to carry his Lordshipon board the steamer,
happening to mistake the gangway he was roughly
accosted and suspicious were expressed that he was
trying on to get on board exet put w an
out interruption and nothing further occurred to mar
the pleasures OF the day.
This is horrible Wat Tylerish age. Pierce is
pelted with rotten eggs by the renowned Jeffard',
because he wouldn't come and take drink,
and Palmerston is treated as member Of tae
" swell mob by jolly British tar
We will close our epitome Of this series Of catas-
trophies, which derive their comic element from
the all.pervadng sentiment Of caste which prevails
among those By zantines Of the West-the Great
Brtons-by the following delicious glimpse OF
Cabinet difficulty. Col French says, in the course
of the Parliamentary debate.
"There was report that the Secretary OF the Ad-
miraNy had made arrangements by which the men,
hsy u the Cabinet and their wives should be 10 one
pant Of the vessel and the other members OF the Coy
eminent and their wives in another part; that the
ladies entered into the quarrel and sent back their
tickets, and that the noble vscouDt Lord Pamerston
nterfered and arranged the dispute"
II is symptomatic of the intense party heat that
is ready to break forth in England that these ABB
surd incidents are eagerly seized hold by the OPP
position in both Houses of Parliament and in the
press as proof of the utter incapacity Of all "Lbe-
raj" Governments, and the present Government in
particular to administer the affairs Of the country.
