      At the meeting which took place at Willis ' s Rooms on Monday , Lord John Russell stated tliat _u ° the amendment were carried he would be ready to _sen-e _iinder Lord Palmerston , or that noble ior ( i under him , as her Majesty might _desh-e ; and _te expressed his belief that no Ministry could hope to be permanent that did not include within it an adequate representation of the three sections of the Liberal party—the Whigs ., Peelites , and Independent Liberals . This frank confession , that the erroneous dogma of the all-sufficiency . of the Whigs must be cast aside , opens the door for hope , and Mi * . Bright commented upon the situa- tion with more wisdom and discretion than he usually'displays . He reminded the meeting that the Reform Bill had introduced into the House of Commons from 100 to 150 members owing no allegiance to the leaders of the two parties into which the House had formerly been divided , and yct whig leaders had persisted in forming their Cabinets as if no such change had taken place . He understood that a different state of things Avas in future to prevail , and without such change he saw no good in displacing the present Government . Mr . Bright ' s willingness to unite with the "Whigs , upon condition of their exclu- siveness being broken up , will meet with universal approval ; and it was a pity that Mr . Roebuck could not for once forget the part of "Dog Tear ' em , " and concur in a ' course so decidedly _^^ o not _diifer from his condemnation of Whig Cabinets as the have been , but Mr .

      MAGENTA AND ITS IIESULTS . The bulk of the British people have received the news of the splendid French and Sardinian victory at Magenta with sincere delight . It is rare , indeed , that the most successful _var pro-. ' duces all the advantages which its . sanguinary . agencies were invoked to procure ' , and the gains - of battle are usually accompanied by circumstances that reduce their value and dispose every thoughtful mind to set a higher price upon the less showy , but more solid achievements of peace . Still , after all deductions which the most prudent calculations can require , the battle of Magenta stands out , not only as a display of heroic courage and _strategic skill , but as an event of profound and happy significance in the history of Conr tinental . Europe . Shallow minds and narrow hearts may see in the Italian conflict only a struggle between rival despots , and regard it as indifferent to humanity whether the one or the other prevails . Such , however , is not the view taken by the English nation , and no attempts to raise the evil spirit of international jealousy or excite . alarms' of ' aggression and conquest , can prevent popular sympathy from rejoicing at the success of French arms , and still more at the prosperous results that have attended the outburst of Italian patriotism , which Sardinia has called forth . The battle of Magenta is a grand step towards the expulsion of the Austrian tyrant _-Sffi * _* £ Sd « A » £ 5 a ' ts _£ » X _& 3 " herself the special representative and protectress of all that U vicious and reactionary in civil government , and , more than any other _existfng _potrer , has sought to debase the . intellect he ° nciih do grovclTing superstition of _Tapal Rome , we _regard her ° dofeat as a triumph of civilisation and humanity . over an unhallowed combination of Jesuit eunning and brutal force . Since Francis Joseph has been upon the throne , all his " talents and energies have been directed to build up an army which should enable him to re- ; sist the just demands of his own subjects and condemn adjacent countries to languish under a _misgoverninent almost as l _. _ateiul as his own . After years of preparation the day of trial has come _; _^ _Uis generals are outwitted ; his boasted legions arc scattered ; and at a safe distance from _^ £ n wh ; ch _^ j inl nn ( l Koy ai Opponents freely exposed themselves , _ho-rcccive _« news of well-earned disaster and richly-merited defeat _, If the dull intellect of this perfidious scion of a M [ ons housc is blo o J f tracing the logical Sequence of events , he will feel that the treachery and cruelty to Hungary , with which he inaugurated his reign , were tie first links of a chain ot crimc leading to the retribution of an _ignomiuiOus , because unjust and unsuccessful war . It is a remarkable condemnation of the Austrian ( xovermnent _, that _ifis alike Incapable of military as of civil progress . In the days of the First _Napoleon its forces were scattered , its combinations abortive , and its movements too late . Precisely _^ _^ blunders have signalised the present _, ai n the forces that _sHould have defended Palitro were dancing after Garibaldi , who laughed them to S oorn T and their most bn l . ant gonernls _maido their arrangements as if _Napofeon and Victor Emmanuel were ignorant of the existence of the Tic . no , and were _acsirous of attacking them m their strongest positions on thc Po .
