THE MINISTERIAL CRISIS . ¦¦ . ¦ J ¦ The Whig ministry is-at death ' s door . Proteetionigta aud PeolitGg havo united against it , for the . first time , since thesplit in the , Conservative camp ,, caused by the repeal of the Corn Laws . With the exception' of Wednesday , the whole of the week has been occupied in the Commons by a debate oii the Foreign Policy of ' the . Gpjerr ^ js not clpsed ' at the time , we write , and is not expected ; to , terminate until Saturday morning ; The Peers , meanwhile , lie on their oars , ; and watch with earnest anxiety the struggle in , ; the Lowel House ; " . ; . \ . . /•/; . y / : ' v - , . : ; : . ' ., ' ;; / ' :. ; : ' . ¦
It wifl . be remembered , that the pure ministerialists are a minority in the Commons . The Cabinet has been maintained , in office by the aid of the Peelites , ; andwWat . is called the " Liberal" party in the House , ' whenever it came to a pinch with them and the Conseryatives ' - proper . ¦ . These two parties , though ' differing from th ' o Government on wianypafticular'questionsj anil taking , ' with regard ; to them , _ an ; independent '; course , have hitherto , generally coalesced , whenever the existence of the administration and the consequent c hance of interference with this Free Trade policy was
threatened . Considerable anxiety . Was there-, fore felt ,, to know what Peel aid his . . party were likely to do on . the present occasion . . In the other . House ,- the Foreign Minister of ; his Cabinet , and the whole of those who were ^ officiall y' connected with it , oi \ had given it political support ; had , voted against the ^ Government ; butthat might not indicate that in the Commons the same course would-be pursued . . It was evident that the immediate object of the Lords was to throw ' Lord
Paliherston . overboard . without , in , ' other , respects , distui ; bj [ ng ; : at present , jthe Cabinet / But after Lord John ' s determined , announcement , that he placed . the fate of his administration on the approval of Palmerston ' s policy , which was the policy ' of the Government , it might be a matter for the Peel . party to Consider whether they would incur the responsibility of turning the Whigs out of office , not to secure their own return to power , but to let in the Protectionists as the only other practical Government at the prosent . time . . . . . . '
, Th ' e . disoussion was indicated by the course taken on Monday night by Sir James Graham . It is adverse to the Government , and that iiiay besaid ; virtuaily to seal the fate of Lord'John and . his colleagues in office . A large majority of the . Commons is indispensable to neutralise the verdict of thirty-seven Peers against them . At least sixty or seventy votes would be requiredas ancquivalent ; and as it is understood that many of the Liberal or Whi g Radical section , will , follow the example of Mr . Anstey , and-either not vote at all , or vote against the Ministry , it is clear that if they have a majority at all iHvillbo a very narrow one . , ' If so , Lord John has declared that , he will resign . .. . ; .. .
# V iewing . the matter purel y as a party fight , in which the people are not in the slightest degree interested , it appears to us that Lord Palmerstou , by his masterl y exposition of his policy . on . Tuesday , has decidedl y given the Whigs the best of it . Anything more perfect and complete at all points , it is impossible to imagine , while as a . specimen of Parliamentary . oratory ,, it undoubtedl y far . surpassed anything that has been heard in either House of Parliament for very many years ; For four hours aftd three quarters he poured forth an uninterrupted and easy-flowing strain of facts
, accompanied . , by appropriate a nd nicel y , balanced comments , without—for the greater part of the time—once referring to a single paper or document ; and he wound up his long address , with a confident appeal to the House , for its ; , verdict : in . his favour , on these facts which ,, in any other assembly , would have been ; responded to by acclamation . But in the British House of Commons , convictions and votes dd not always go hand in hand . Individual members are but parfeof a great herd
who are driven at the will of theparty leaders under whom they have enlisted . Hence of the more than 200 members Who listened on j the Opposition benches : with ' intenso interest aud unflagging attention-l and if the . human ; coun |; enance , and : eye . ia ' to be trusted—with iadmiration and conviction in very many cases ;•—to Lord Palmeraon ' s splendid spMch—poi 1 - haps not pile will daro . . to act upon the statement which may have convinced him of the error of his former opinions . , ,
That its , effect was most damaging to the Opposition is , ' however , obvious from the malignant , and the same time excessivel y stupid article which appearedin the Times next morning , All . its carefully concocted special pleadings , all its skilful distortion of facts , all its former , efforts to pervert the case , and to excite a general prejudice against the Foreign Minister ,: were rendered nugatory ' by that speech ,, and , smarting and enraged , it placed itself in the . ridiculous position of Bhowine itself at once angry and impotent .
i The contemptible Greek quarrel , which is made the / peg to , hang this debate upon , must nptbe looked upon in any other light than as a , peg , , The real question at issue is , whether Russian and Austrian diplomacy shall be as paramount'at the Court of . St . James as it is in almost all the other courts of Europe That is the object of the ^ mes , and . the Chronicle , and , the other absolutist organs who have hounded on the bloodthirsty tyrants of the Continent to their most atrocious acts of outrage , / cruelty , ; , and bloodshed upon all those
who auvocated liberty of thought , speech , and action . , The : complaint •; against Lord Palmerston is , that he stands in the way of the unchecked predominance of these ferocious enemies of human liberty arid happiness , and . the objectjs to remove him . True it is , that he is . himself . so liampered by an absolutist party , in the Cabinet , that . h 7 is not able to fl ^ « ! l 08 ltlVely ' sti » . negatively , he impedes the progress and consummation of the gigantic conspiracies against conatitutWl lament an « political freedom ,, of S w 0 * 5 ? !* St .

' ,.. ' . . Our complaint against Lord Palmeraton s policy is of a very different character to that
of the Times . We complain because ho has hot translated his sympathies with struggling nationalities into deeds . ; The mere expression of that sympathy in words had no effe ' ct . whatever in arresting the progress ^ of the Muscovite over the plains of Hungary . —it did not prevent the . brutal tyrant ' of Naples from ^ butchering the people \ vhblesu . le , after deceiving them into the belief that he . intended to grant constitutional liberty—it did not prevent tHe fertile plains , of Lombard y from falling again under the iron hoof of Austrian despotism—it
did not ! sustain the noble people of Rome in their just arid righteous struggle to maintain the form of Government they had freely chosen , and the great and pure-minded men they had chosen to direct their ^ affairs . ' Venice was allowed , ' unassisted , to fall again , under the . deadly rule , . and to , suffer the sanguinary vengence of Austria ; . and even : when in violation of the laws-of nations , and the plain eriacttrients of solemn treaties , the infuriated Czar demanded that Turkey— -an independent country—should surrender ., to his . bloody and
barbarous revenge the . noble Hungarian patriots who' had escaped hia butchers . England , under LordPalmerstonspolicy . cohtenteditselfwithremonstra'ting against their surrender to .

' , . . ¦ ...: ' „ ; ' ; ' ..: , ' This brief catalogue of the short-comings of Lord Palmerston ' s administration might ; be exteridedj and not a few acts of a directly hostile character against the ' democratic
movement might be , ' recorded . ' But we have done , enough to show the people at large the true nature of the faction fight that is . now going , on . It is'difficult to say which of the two parties ^ re practically most obstructiye . of democratic ' progresBi ' ralmerston , by his ' protests . and intermeddling , unbacked by an adequate force , throws into the hands of the Absolutists pretexts for aggression of which they are riot slow to avail themselves , and to convert , into substantial victories ; while , on the other hand , if their , own instruments were
in power , ' they would hesitate to outrage , too openly , the public opinion of Europe , and the world . As far as the Foreign Policy of the country is concerned , the spirit by which it might be . animated might be . different if a Tory Administration was in power ; but that would necessarily be limited by the action and reaction of public opinion j arid , practically , there . would be but little substantial ( difference . Itisindomestic policy that the greatest alteration would take place / If Lord Stanley and his friends were called on arid accepted office ,
a dissolution would inevitably follow . In the present , temper of the : Protectionist . party in England a considerable increase of the number of its representatives might be expected ; and , as the election would / take place with the existing franchise in jrelarid ,. it is probable that out of the 108 . Members sent by that country , not twenty would be Free Traders . By this means a working majority might be obtained for a Protectionist Cabinet , and by taking into partnership Mr ., Gladstone , arid a . few of the least , obnoxious of . the Peel party , who have
sewed in pfficej a very fair working , administration might ; be constituted . For our own part , we look forward with pleasure at the idea of the present Government being dismissed . They have resolutely withstood all attempts to improve the political : . and- spcial condition of the masses . ¦ They have shown an inflexible determinationtoprevent , to ; the Utmost ,, the concession of those frarichises , , and . of those representative reforms which are , the great want of , the age , aud upon which the people of this country have set their hearts .

, ¦ "¦ ' ¦ ¦ % , MORE COTTON . ' : ' We have , upon various occasions , attempted to show the exceedingly precarious and rickety foundation of ; 6 ur manufacturing system , and the folly . of ,-that , policy ' jwhich virtually aims at making it the foundation of national property . For years we have , by appeals to well authenticated facts , endeavoured to convince the rulers and the people , that in thus acting we were in fact building upon a quicksand , at
the mercy of a thousand shifting circumstances over which . we had not the slightest control . Instead of unduly-stimulating a department of industry , sp . e ' xptic and unhealth y in its Cor istitutipn , we have urged that : the cardinal duty of all . parties is to . provide timel y measures by means of which labour , capital , and skill , may be a pplied in larger proportions to th cultivation of the soil ,, and " the production . ' of real \ yealth from the primary element ' s ' i arid raw materials which lie within our reach . ..
, The organs of the manufacturing interests have either treated these representations with ridicule , or violentl y and vituperatively assailed us / pr giving currency to > yhat they denominated falsehoods . Henceforth , they must abandon both modes of meeting the question , grave and important as it is , and . pregnant with the most momentous consequences to tho not far distant future of Ehgland ^ . The facts which we noted at the time they occurred , forecasting and predicting their tendencies and ultimute result , have now , when perhaps too late l
, been formal y and emphaticall y admitted by , the peculiar and chbseri , representative of , tho . m ^ iufacturing-Jnteresi itself Mr . John Bright , the member for tho manufacturing metropolis , in moving for a Commission to proceed to India , for the purpose of inquiring how . thegrowth pf cotton .. could be stimulated and . increased , iii this , country , ' sated , . facts . which amply sustained all the statements and antici pations , which we have at any time put forth . . 4 Latterly ,, there has been great fluctuations in . the price of the raw material of a manufacture on ^ yhlch . directly , or indirectly . 2000 , 000 / i i « f - ¦ - •••• wywii wvyu ^ vvv ot

The consequence is , that without any power either of the masters or the operatives to prevent it , the miUs have to be worked short time , and both wages and .. profits are curtailed , whenever there is either a real or a menaced deficiency of crop or of supply in the market . What is the cause of ¦ these fluctuations ? ^ Formerly we were almost , the only manufacturing country in . existence ,. . and . to this market accordingly came the whole—or nearly the whole—of tho raw material to be spun , and woven , arid dyed , and printed for r e-e ; H > 6 rta' $ ^ Now , as wo ha ^ e often warned . the manufacturers arid the Government , the case is entirel y altered J : Let us hear our position as described b y Mp , Bright Um ^ t ii »

This idea is rapidl y tr nl t itself into practice , and here already ti 8 suit . The United States , la t ySr w £ up a larger quantity of its own rawco S ! was consumed in this country in S w such has been tho growth of the cotto ^ ' lf facturesof theStafes , during &S of a century , what may not be exp ected fr ! its future developement ?

theinotion must cease in the one case . But Mr Bnght and hs friend * do not yetseethis nlv ^ K ™ . cannot get cotton enough from America , . let us g , w itinlndia . ' - There are other parts of the world where the cottpri-treewill flourish-such as Port Naia and some parts of Australia ; but it is not likely , for many years tocomp that , we shall have the labourers sufficiently en . slaved , because over-crowded in these countries to suit our purposes . In India they are ready to our hands . The manufacturing system i 3 based upon cheapness ,, and upon slavery It must have its cotton grown cheap , it must work it up chap after it is grown . Its root is sunk ^ deep in humaa slavery , and all its branches and ramifications partake of itsorigin . The " niggers" in the cotton plantations . stretcn
wmen along the banks of the Mississipi are not more truly slaves than the children whom Sir George Grey and' the millowners have exempted from the operation of the clause which limits the time within which women , and young persons are to work in mills . The hateful relay system is in future , if they are to have their way , to . be carried on by meaui of tender children ! Arid for this purpose Mr Bright wants us to . get cotton from India .
The arguments add uced by the Government and the spokesmen for the East India Company , showthat . the chance of this being done in sufficient quantity to supersede dependence on the American supply , is a very distant one indeed . In the meantime , the States are not standing still . Under the stimulating influence of their free institutions , trade , commerce , .-an d- . enterpr ise ;" .. are nurtured and
fostered ^ tp an , extent , and with a rapidity unparalleled , in the history of any other nation . Long before Mr . Bright has-got the people of India embarked in the ' cultivation - of cotton sufficient to rneet his requirements , American , manufactures will have reached a stage which will enable them to beat the British manufacturer out of every open market in the world .
In anticipation of that period , would it not be well for capitalists aud statesmen to look ahead , and ask themselves seriously what they should do in time , to prevent the certain comequences of such an event ? They would be better . employed than they now are , in the mere party wrangles , . or the selfish struggles which absorb their time and their energies .

EEACTION ON THE CONTINENT . Louis Napoleon has succeeded in getting the price of his treachery to the Eepublic , though not is the shape originally proposed . Finding it was impossible to carry the Dotation Bill in that form , he at length consented to have the money voted as "an extraordinary credit of 2 , 161 , 000 francs for the expenses of the President . " This does not bind the Assembly to pay , the salary demanded in future . The committee had recommended , after much
consideration , and various - negotiations with conflicting parties , an extraordinary credit of 1 , 600 , 000 francs ; and tho Government proposal was brought forward as an amendment . In the meantime , intrigue and intimidation had been resorted to , and the would be Emperor made a bold stroke for the money , by getting General Changarnier to throw his sword into the scale , at a critical , moment of the debate . That settled , the matter . The Legitimatists , the Orleanists , the Bourgeoisie , the Reactionists of all shades and complexions ,
know that their only hope of maintaining the present infamous' mockery of a Republic , is by the supremacy . of bruto . ibrce . Ciiangarnier is their . sheet anchor , if they lose him , they would drift to destruction . Accordingly , when this military dictator , in brief , but emphatic terms , prescribed to the Assembly what its vote should be , the so-called representatives of the French people submitted , and voted ¦ ' away the money to pay a man who has robbed them of their franchise , and for his penury to the
constitution he solemnly swore to maintain intact This is the veritable commencement of military rule in France . Henceforth it is evident that the sword is tho only ruler . How long Changarriier , or the other military chiefs who swarm " about the Elyse ^ . oi St . Cloud , may think it their interest to uphold the Puppet who is the nominal head of the State , remains to be seen . One thing is . certain , that in taking the . money thus handed to him at the point of General Changarnier ' s sword , the President hasbecoine his vassal and slave . The reign
of terror and proscription proceeds . Every journal which dares , in the most remote degree , to hint its disapproval of tho conduct of the Government , or of the tyrant majority , i 3 at once prosecuted , and silenced as far aa may , by the , infliction of fines and imprisonment , , in the most violent and vindictive sp irit . The metropolis and all the large towns BX 9 filled with spies , and the police are constantly at work in hatching or watching conspiracies .
