The election is all over and the liberal cause has
triumphed, Of which fact indeed, there never was
doubt With this triumph the Chinese question has
little to do. The electors have not considered this
isolated matter as relating to the great principle Of
electing those who win represent the opinions of
the majority of the nation. In one of your recent
articles on China you state that Lord Palmerston
could not have adopted any other course than the
one he did. grant this: all classes Of politicians
admit that any other ministry would have done the
same thing, namely adopted the acts of their subor
dnates when those subordinates acted in accordance
with their instructions; but it to be forgotten
that it is cley proved that Sir John Bowrng acted
in accordance with secret instructions to seek and
find difficulty, and tina the began upon false pre-

which has caused 60 much contention. If, instead
of leading Us to believe that all the recent fighting
had been brought about by the miserable affair Of

neither would there have been 80 immediate minis.

committed an act of ostracism upon himself,
he has clearly done the same by the conservatives
The next change must be one which will place at
the head of affairs man pledged to progress. For
this position Lord John Russell, under favor of the
old wings, is bidding freely.
Mr.. Evans, special messenger from Washington,
has arrived at the American embassy, London, and
his Excellency Mr.. Dallas has, understand, ar

subject of the Central American treaty. There Is

At no period Of history since the establshment
