PALMERSTON. He has dropped the " Conspiracy " bill, has rescued and demanded compensation for the injured engineers from Naples has saved Mr. HODGE from judicial murder has averted the wholesale confiscation of the soil of Oede —given an unexceptionable budget, which even the Times has been compelled to applaud, and surrendered the property qualification as a first instalment of the reform which he intends to introduce at the commencement of next session. Disinterested and unprejudiced men will weigh these matters, and compare them with the " sayings and doings" of the former Cabinet ; and should the representatives of the people not understand the true state of the popular feeling, they will receive a lesson on the appeal to  Again, there is the aggravation of the case, that the question is a House of Commons one. It is not merely for a great principle that the Commons contend with the Lords, but for Unitown right, moral right to say the least, to decide on the qualifications of the people's representatives. The Commons, fresh from the hustings, have sent to the Lords their last demand for Jewish emancipation by a larger majority than ever. It must, therefore, be the demand of the country ; indeed, at all times, the elected representatives of the people must be presumed to have the best knowledge of what is a faithful representation of the people ; yet the Lords have presumed, notwithstauding repeated protests, to take the keys of the •House of Commons into their own hands, as well as those of their own House.  What, then, ought to be done? The Lords have had already every opportunity for repentance, and they refuse to repent. Arguments are now completely exhausted ; considerate treatment of a Conservative Ministry by an immense Liberal majority has had no weight ; considerations of Statesmanship so forcibly, yet kindly, pressed by Lord GREY, were all thrown away; the clause which embodied the demand of twentyfive years was stolidly, wilfully, proudly erased from the Bill. We thitdc it undignified for the Commons, under these circumstances, even to demand a conference with the Lords. The result must be foreknown. It would be inviting one more insult. The only procedure worthy of the Commons would be to treat the emasculated bill, as they would a money-bill altered by the Lords, by ordering Mr. SPEAKER to kick it out of the House. Such a course would raise the house incalculably in the eyes of the nation, and of all Europe and the world. It would proclaim that we were not the slaves of a titled aristocracy, but a selfgoverned cation of freemen.  Shou!d the House, however, unable to free itself from red-tapism, humble themselves to a conference, we trust that., on itiown part, it will appoint some sturdy JOHN BRIGIITS, as well as (to Lards) pliant JOUN llussELLs. An unwonted tone must be taken by the managers for the Commons. They must inform the Lords that the Lower House feels itself, and the peoplo it represents, insulted; that no compromise can now be thought of; that they are determined to assert the, principle that to the national will, steadily expressed for a long succession of years, both Lords and Commons must give way ; and that the Commons intend to  seat Baron
