The New House Of Commons Lias Ncnv Been ...
THE new House of Commons lias ncnv been elected , excepting a small remainder from ihu counties and Ireland , and it promises to be a better representation of the constituencies than , we have ever had , and for an obvious reason . The only qiicstion submitted to '•¦ "the country" was , whether or . not it would prefer Lord ¦ pAiiMEitsTdN to Lord Derby , and there was au almost universal feeling in favour of Lord Pal ^ ieksxon . lie is in power , he has been successful , he is professedly a Liberal , he conducted the war ; •\ vhere ; is J in ' thc case Of Lord Deiiby , all these characteristics inust be reversed . As a politician , Lord Derby has Jain dormant ; although he would not do much harm as a Tory , he avows Tory principles of the old stump ; Hie most that can be said of him is , that he did not obstruct the war ; and although he is a very pleasant fellow , he docs not so well conceal ( he pritlc of birth under a frank , gentlemanly , and agreeable bearing . There is scarcely any ini crest ; hi LordDKiir > Yporsonally ; numbers of his own political supporters really prefer Lord Palmkksxon—as the county elections are showing ; and with those Conservatives who still vote as tlicv do , the preference for the . Earl i . s chiefly Icehnical . " The country , " therefore , has had no reason why it should not vote in favour of Lord Palm urston ; and having nothing else before it , it has voted as it pleased . Having no very strong opinions upon any subject , it lias collect ively elected men who collectively have no particular opinions . On the whole , it is conjectured that the present House of Commons will eoniain an unusual number of members pledged to support , the Ballot ; but movement adds to the appearance : of numerical strength , and possibly the Ballot men -will not , prove to be so many in a division as they look in a general election . There is so very widespread , a feeding in favour of Reform , that even Conservatives have been induced to declare in favour of it . Thus we have ilcclumtions , more or less ambiguous , from Lord Palmehston , Mr . Disn . uzu , Sir John 1 \\ kin (; tox , and others . Lord Pamiioustox , indeed , hints at it , rather than speaks out , and hi ; declares himself I o he very conscious of ' the duty of siloneo . ' Mr . . jDisKAEM is more explicit ; be would fed " no prejudice" against , a Itcfonn Hill whicli should redress J lie partiality and injustice of the bill of 1 SM 2 ; tin , I , i ^ , which should noi endeavour to , frame si Whig constituency ; while lie objecta decisively both to
ballot and electoral districts , and implicdly lo a large extension of tlie suffrage . Sir Joiin t Pakixgtox is the most explicit of the three wlioiu we liave named ; lie is not opposed-. to cx . tensi . on of the suffrage . Indeed , there is a reason why he-should ' liotbe ; iii his pursuit of agreement on the subject oi ' education , Sir' J . oiitf Pakixgton has come more into contact-with the working classes , and lias obtained a great deal more knowledge of . ¦ 'them ; and lie can testify to what we have . so ficqacutly asserted , that amongst the working classes there is not less information than amongst the shop-keeping class , more reflection , and -more- courage of conscience ; qualities whichwould give , to : i considerably ex-tended franchise inCuiitjlymore of a patriotic and national character . ' 'Tli > : cou . nl ry , " as i ( , i . s c ; uliyl in jmTiammtury languiige , means the l ' nui ! -ed c > instil ii . ' . ; nuics : —the oiio-scvvntli of tin : population which has tins time relumed a I ' arliarn . mL entirely to its mind . We shall Sv'C what that Parlia . iiuui-will do . If it is not instructed to promote Itefonn , it is rather reminded of the duly than otherwise ; and oLeqitin ^ ' a certain' passive ob . st ' ur . u ' . y which clv . ivuct wises the rvluclaut allusion lo the subject by Lord i ' ALMUKstox , the feeling of obstruction . ippeurs to In ; decidedly giving way . The Parliament elccied l > y '" ' I be country , " we suspect , may not be very strong in the will to carry Parliamentary ' . Reform , but it , will be more feeble lo resist any real public : movement . Meanwhile , Lord . Tons Rl-. ' ssi ^ l has accompli . shed his return for the City of London under the feeling which we described last week , only rather strengthened . He did not come in at the head of the poll , the " Pour Candidates" organization Iniving already committed many Liberals against Lord John ; but " the young man from Northampton" was far below the lowest , on the poll ; so that there is . some degree of honesty in the City yet . l > o \ vn to the latest date the incidents wore of a kind to increase Lord John RussnWs sense of tin ; parly unfairness which has influenced the limited constituency . J [ c must feel thai , if many of I he noii-chwlors hud had votes , he would have been yi . 'iit . lo the trip of Ihi ; poll . They at least appn-eialrd him bettor Iliau that . section of " tin : country" which lies wilhiu the « Jily , and we may presume ( hat Lord John proportionately appreciates thos . ; intelligent disfranchised . The subject of the siid ' rage extension then ' . fore awaits a decisive movement , on the part of tlie unenfranchised people . A fiorrespondenoo i . s ciroulalcd to prove that Lord John Russku , vacillated in regard to his
resignation , and that lie bus been fairly treated . Uudoubi'jdlv it was hinted that lie had resigned : this was not true . On the ; 7 th he wrote a note authorizing Mr . DiJi ' LON- to resign for him ; but on the S . t . . h " ho wrote a note saying that circumstances inducedhim to reconsider his intention ., ami withdrawing that lii-dl , note . Mr . I ) Itiou got the second note first , and there the matter ought to have ended , ¦ ¦ /¦ . —but there it did iiot end . We hear , alliusions to the case of Kidderminster ., as if it proved that 1 ho non-electors are generally radians , and unlit to exercise the suffrage- How little this is the case we can call upon the rejected members ; to say—upon" .

William GoNisuiLvM , Lord ( . ioinuucu , ( jeivcral Thompson , Mr . Swanky . Bui . the case of Kidderiniiister is quite peeuliar . The non-electors have been taught to consider that ; they should have . some voice in the . election ; they found their ., claim treated with contempi , they were irritated , and we all know what arts iinif be vised during the excitement of an election to foster and provoke the irritation until it shall become tumult . The violence of Kidderminster is entirely exceptional , and in evidence wo point to the whole character of the general election throughout Great Britain , for there has never been one more quiet or more easy going . A wider constituency would have selected many men amongst those whom the present constituency has thrown out . The list of the rejected is truly formidable , and it ' .. embraces every class of men , politieally and socially .
