The Revolution la EngIand's Policy-Rising
Power ~ the Manchester Men.
The position which the advanced liberal states
men, or Manchester school, as it is frequently
called, are achievingin English politics, betokens
well for the affairs of England and the peace Of
Europe.
After the moveu ent against the corn laws had
succeeded, it was supposed that some of the lead
ing members of the Anti Corn Law League would
attain position in the Cabinet. But, though
Golden, Bright and few of the Others retained
their places in Parliament they have never been
able to impress their views with any permanence
Of impression on either Of the other sections of
the liberal party, or on the policy Of the goveru
ment. The Peelites are few in numbers and
nave not been in power since the death of their
great leader, and the old wings have beenchieAy
in the hands of a few powerful families who
stringently excluded every one not connected
with them by blood or marriage; while the lip.
liberal Palmerston, in his many striped admins

ing liberal principles at heart The recent
gathering of the liberal clans at Willis
looms, and the subsequent debate in Parliament
on the motion of want of confidence in the Der
by Ministry, would seem to indicate thai great
change has taken place in the recognized posi-
ton of the advanced liberals.
At the meeting referred to- two hundred and

ing the various sections of the liberal party met
together to see if they could unite against the
ministry. Lord Palmerstop was the first to ad-
dress the meeting. He skilfully avoided the
question of reform, condemned the foreign policy
of the Derby Cabinet, insisted very strongly on
the duty. of maintaiuing strict neutrality, and
declared that be could not foresee any circum.
stance which would render the hostile interyen
ton OF England necessary. Lord John Russell
followed. He thought Lord Derby had been al.
ready too long in Office, protested himself ready
to consent TO any terms that would bring him in,
even to serving under Palmerston; and thought
that if liberal government were formed, the
old wings, the Peelites and the advanced liberals
should each be represented in it, Mr.. Bright as
leader of the last named school, then replied
He claimed that he had brought about the divi-
sion in the ranks of the liberal party which had
brought its old leaders to a sense Of their waning
power; and justified the course he bad pursued
He told them that they had excluded his friends
from power, that be would not now support
them unless they were willing to act on more
comprehensive ystem; that he was not satisfied
with what Lord Palmerston had said in regard to
the foreign relations, and that if peace was more
likely to be secured by keeping the present min
istry in power, he would not assist in turning
| them out. This direct and pointed language
brought from Lord Palmersten strong protes-
| tation of his belief that nothing was so condu-
Give to the interests of Europe and the preser-
walton of peace as strict alliance between
England and France.
On this basis the determination to overturn
the Derby Ministry was agreed to in the caucus
In the subsequent debate in Parliament Mr..
Bright gave further expression to his views,
which are not without their significance at the
present juncture. He condemned the sentiment

derided the junkettings that had been
carried on between the two courts, alluded
to the Crimean war, in which England gained
only an increase Of deb. and loss of blood, and
closed by stating that he would not take office,
but that if in the new government there
should be found men adequately representing
the reconciled sections" and they would grappIe
the abuses admitted to exist, he would support
them, and if not not.
When we compare this strong language, the
admitted necessity of sharing power with the
advanced liberals, and the recent return of Mr..
Golden without opposition to Parliament, it will
