EXPERIMENTAL HAPPY FAMILY._  --The Liberal rev sloe fixed for Monday, the 6th of this present month of June. 1859, gives us very much the notion of an Experimental Happy Family. There is a natural curiosity felt at once as to how no very heterogeneous an assembly will get on together-whether the old Whig cat will comport itself amicably with the smallest of those charming little tame mice of Peehtes habitually given to constitutional palpitations? Whether the predatory hawk of party will forego forthwith all his more selfish instincts in the way of depredation, perching meekly beside the portent of the little dingy sparrows of independence ! They only want that honest old dog Towzer there to complete their happiness' And the best of the joke is, that the notion of this Experimental Happy Family is got up entirely among themselves. There is no master spirit who is to preside over their organisation-to subdue, by his dominant authority, all their natural instincts, passions, . piques, appetites, and prejudices-to tranquillme them. into tinnatural fraternity-4o exercise over their discordant ranks a glamour kindred to that which may bid the lion lie down with the lamb, and the dove nestle by the basilisk. The signal for the gathering is that wonderful little round-robin Circular, signed by that marvellous Chang-and-Ching of the Opposition - the Siamese Twins of the House of Commons-arcades au& -" a pair of them," including Lord Palmer,,tos and Lord John Russell! Associated, in this, with an adoeniling melamg, including among others- George Byng, a eunuch Liberal -F,dward Ellice,a thorough-going Whig-Sidney Herbert, an unmistakeable Peelite-and Milner Gibson, an undoubted Mancheeterian. So misoliammos is the whole group in antecedents and character, in opinions general and particular, in expirations and in predilections, that Farmer Bull, while looking forward to the hour and place appointed as those of the rendezvous-Willis's Rooms, in King Street, St. James's, at two o'clock, OD Monday afternoon-instinctively and inevitably resolves the whole of his sentiments in reference to the project into one extremely tense and Idiomatic ejaculation - "GO it ! " - Adding, perhaps, if his ideas trend at the moment, in what Dickens has hepplly termed the slangnlar direction -"von cripples!" For, in the meantime, there cannot hot MY any one's imagination-in the presence of this mod unusual joint-circular for a sort of a political osmium gathernm -the remembrance of two facts which are in themselves notorious and indubitable. First-that the new House of Commons, if not divided into the equable balance of six and half -s-dozenstill so far approaches the state of equipoise that its aggregate is mused into clumsy moieties of 352 on qv" side of the Opposition, and 303 on the side of the Government. Secondly-that lunimg the former there we numerous independents or neutrals who have avowed, if anything, a preference for those who are In, and certainly a positive repugnance forthose who are Out. It is gilt., obvious at once that the changasof the Oppositioniebioue at the beet --are becoming, now at their worst, rwthittlyPreposteroue. Mr Roebuck awaits the two noble ho,ris the Castor and Ponta of Delete, the Orestes of Dam inidge-honseandthe Pyladasof Pembrok e Lodge -Mr Roebuck awaits them grin* likwa Nemesia. The Maid of Ate is already held in his grasp, and has been recently '',43sessed. There are a few trusty henchmen, too, to ad him in his vengeance. These are for the most part clustered below the gangway; while above that OpPMiioll gangway there is one of the most formidAbic of all the antagonists the Cambridge-Hotsee eompeet ean encounter in discnesion - the right honourable gentleman, the recalcitrant ex-Secretary for Ire-. !wet under the last Administration. They have charmlag repecte truly before them thaw noble Lords end hononrable and right honourable representatives on th• side of her Majesty's Option. They want, alrems all things, to gratify an -almost unlimited number of exorbitant ambitions. They want, beyond all things, by one comprehensive coalition, to buikl up 'de ,e,eo and in perprreo a new Liberal Government. 1187 want especially to Null it up on the broader }am of a double lowlership-Lord John Russell and Lord Palmerston having, in this very nick of time, it is 4.41 been brought most happily together. But-is there not that wise, old symbolical aphorism-" Be- eon two acols," et refire. Such a fall as that implied by the wise, homely proverb, we believe to be now in elaborate preparation. When it shall at length have been till accmemliehed in due course, then-but not till then -we may look for the commencement of ths labours of rational, practical legislation in the new Perliament.-gies.
