THERE WOULD DE FEW TO SHED ONE  TEAR."  The world set down this attempt as that of a maniac. We admit this much of the apology offered for his conduct by Mr. Richard Cobden. But this maniacal effort was, by a character no less illustrious and resplendent in talent and worth than Lord Brougham— by a lVhig Exchancellor—denounced in a recent debate, as incited by the speech of the Rev. Anti-CornLaw Leaguer in question ; and what was the course pursued by Mr. Cobden ? The dignified denunciation of Lord Brougham had cut deep into the withers of the Anti-Corn-Law League; and the apostle of that body—Cobden—having learnt, from a private conversation with that gentleman, in the library of the House of Commons, that Mr. Roebuck had determined to defend Lord Brougham from an attack to be made upon him, by referring to the passage which we have quoted, to which Lord Brougham referred during the  etiaie in the 14ot  ..„.et,  honautabie them  lothitith tine_ attcmpteJ to interfere  gitntd to  flee niluigters,  ,vould bring iTon bitnsvli the hose interfereixe the league in 13ath—the city w iicl he represented with a view to oust him. hy tr.icls and "the holding of tea parties," (1) from its representation. The. honourable ultra-radical, however, was too chivalrous an or ponent to be thus put down.

The climax, however, it remained for Cobden himself to perpetrate. Since the opening of the present session the gentleman in question has not milde his ar pearance upon the arena of political agitation. P- demestic bereavement, we regret to say, has been the cause. Well, on Friday night, for the first time, lie made his appearance ; and, fresh from the bed of death—with one assassination before his eyes, the re' sult of the murderous appeals of a.ferocious agitation he proceeded fo the utterance of the following language directed against Sir Robert Peel :  " It was the duty of every individual member of the house to throw on him" (the Premier) " the INDIVIDUAL' AND PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY of the present  state of affairs."  The hungry and starving, maddened by the sedirious appeals of a revolutionary faction, are to hold Sir Robert Peel,—not the Government, but the Premier himsey,—individually and personally responsible for their sufferings ! But proceed—. " He would tell the Right Honourable Baronet that the whcr r responsibility of the present lamentableland dangerous state of the country RESTED UPON 018 SHOULDERS V'  Need we wonder that the response of nine-tenths of the House, before which this infamous language was uttered, was a perfect shout of indignation ? There was not, we venture to say, one member present who did not recognize it at once in the sense in which it was understood by Sir Robert Peel himself, AS A
