Int abrupt tefhnaslOn OF Lord PALMERSrON'
Administration. and the accession of Lord DEERE
are events of some financial as well as political i'm
portance. The funds receded at once and have no
recovered up to-day You will observe that the no
Ole Earl takes back with him goodly portion o
the Old material that he had around him during hi
snort term OF office five years ago. Promnen
among these is Ben. DIsRAELI, who must hencefortl
stand as ''the leader of the House of Commons
The new Premier was also desrous of having an
other noted HHerate,r in his cabinet-BULwER LYr
TON 10 VIII; and the great novelist quite anx

1t is very salutary arrangement in that complex
yet simple machine the British Constitution that
men can not be called to office, who are members OF
the lower House without once more asking the con-
sent of their constituents, who may be willing to SEE
them figure as dead heads in the House of Commons
but not ready to trust them with the seals of office
with the responsible positions of legislators admin
istrators, and privy counsellors of Her Majesty.
Lord DERBY is not as much known-and feared
nor is he cordially hated throughout Europe as
the late premier, 'plucky PAM" the little juvenile,
the proprietor of Broadlands and member for Tiver-
ton. The one flank shot from MuNER GIBSON, at
once took the country and the House by surprise.

that Lord PALMERsToN owes part of his unpopular

as the head of the Government sustained the dio
nifty OF his position and the honor of England in
allowing Count WALEwsKIs dispatch to remain
unanswered-a dispatsh conceived in anger and
misapprchension, dictated in uncourteous terms
and full OF gross misstatements? The House of
Commons voted that he had not so acted and the
cross fire from the prominent Liberal put period
to the Administration. Without pretending to
know the caibre of every of Britains statesmen
and politicians, believe safe in SAYING that
the country is fortunate in any turn of the political
wheel that throws out of office such men as the

The Earl Of MALMEsBURY will make respectable
foreign Secretary; Lord HARDwIcKE as Privv Seal,
and Lord COLCHESTER Postmaster General will
be two ''dead heads,' while the Earl of ELLEyBo

tration one such tactician Lord PALMERsToy nor |
one name as infamous as that of Lord CLANRICARpE |
both noted for their unscrupulous character, both
Irish peers and lrishmen, both unpopular: true |
birds Of feather, both will be spared without loss
to the nation, neither produce much regret for his
absence. and both be replaced by honester. if not
ADLER men.
There is trial now going of of some interest in
Parliamentary circles; that of Mr.. Isaac Butt NJ |
P. for Youghall. The honorable member and two |
other lrishmcn-brothers of the name of Corey
got hold Of of those nabobs of India ALI MooRAD
KHAN, one of the Ameers of Scinde and under pre-
tence and promise of getting large amount of land
and other property returned to him. of which he
had been despoiled by the East India Company, 50
completely plucked and stripped the poor raiah that
ne had great difficulty in getting back to his native
country. Mr. Butt came in for a good slice of the
swag," 10000 for which he promised to use his
influence as member of the House of Commons to
get the Ameer his property. He opened the ewes of
the Indian prince to the true character of the
brothers CoFFEY, who in turn ''peached" on the
honorable member, and now the eyes of the whole
world and the rest Of mankind will be opened to the
lniquities of the Indian system, and the manner in
which certain honorable member has managed to
SIT IN Parliament without pay, and get very good
wages all the while. There rich developements
and nothing is more Infamous than the rascalites
practised on ALI MooRAD KHAN.
The decayed martinets of the British Army have
had their epauetes greatly rutfled lately by an in

fight, in India China; not in the iungles of Hin
