Mr.. DIsRAELI IN THE HOUSE OF CoMMoNs-ThE
POLICY OF THE GOVERNMENT
MInN1GUr- the House of Commons thisevening
Mr.. DisraeI appeared for the first time since the
resignation of Lord Derby. Upon entering the
House he was received with loud cheers from
both the Government and the Opposition benches.
Mr. Disrael soon afterward rose. and after
ynR notices of the introduction of certain measures
relating TO Scotland and Ireland referred to the re-
tirement of the Earl of Derby, saying his colleagues
were 10th TO sever their connection with such aleader
no language could express their estimate OF the char
aeter and career Of such chief ana they all most
earnestly hoped for his restoration to health
and power Mr.. Disraeli then proceeded to say
Her Majesty had been pleased to intrust to him the
cline the gracious offer, accompanied as twas by the
generous support of his colleagues. In domestic
affairs the policy of Lord Derby during the last two
years of his administration would be followed
by the new Ministry, and in foreign affairs the
policy of Lord Stanley would be adhered to.
This would be policy of peace-not one OF isolation,
but one of generous sympathy and regard for our
own interests, and those of other nations. Such a
policy would never lessen the influence OF dignity
II . aofa md
The domestic policy of the new Government would be
a liberal one-[Cheers- Laughter .l-reoOgnizing
national traits as best securing national institutions
He regretted the necessity of continuing the suspen-
sion of the writ of habeas corpus in Ireland, but, as
Lord Derby mad said on a public occasion, such
action was the only safeguard against un-
scrupulOus foreign confederation. Such
a suspension of the privileges Of the
writ was not incompatible with the
gentle exercise of the law and he was of the opnsn
that the grievances of Ireland should be treated with
n tender regard for that country. After few more
explanations not of general importance, Mr. Disrae
resumed his seat amid applause Mr.. BOu-
verie, member for KilmarnOck, said the
policy of Lord Derby referred to by
the Premier, was uncertain. If it meant retention
of Office only, the new Government would meet with
aerious opposition In the House of Lords tonight
4he Earl of Malmesbury said the subject of Irish
grievances would come up for discussion on Tuesday
next After announcing the change in the Govern
ment he added that its policy would remain unatered
Earl Russell declared that no confidence could be
placed in policy which was always saying one thing
and meaning another. He said the Liberal members
had given their support to Lord Derby on his pledge
TO bring about reduction of the franchises but none
had in reality been made. Such mode OF educating
q party was unprecedented.
