      The Pall Mall Gazette , which has completely deposed the Times from the position of leading journal , is most remarkable for its fairness and impartiality in political matters . It lately administered a severe and well-deserved rebuke to several of the Ministry for their insolent demeanour towards the House of Commons , particularly in replying to questions . Mr . Lowe has entirely eclipsed Mr . Layard , who , up to this season , held undisputed the position of leading bully in the House . This remarkable convert to Liberal principles seems to visit upon all unoffending persons who are unfortunate enough to come in contact with him officially , that contempt which he should feel for his own self . For Mr . Lowe to serve with Mr . Bright , and under Mr . Gladstone , those eminent chiefs of the band who assassinated the British Constitution { vide the harangues of Mr . Lowe )—those traitors who filled the wooden horse with armed destroyers of our country ' s liberty , must , of course , be very galling to his sense of consistency , or his conscience , if he has \ it is ratner tne

      any . axx nara upon xne memoers or jnouse , ana upon the public generally , that they should have to submit to insolent snubs and audacious equivoques at the hands of this plastic patriot whenever they have any information to demand of him . As for the other Ministers , they are but faint copies of the Chancellor of the Exchequer in rudeness . Mr . Bright runs him hard , and seems to think that his main duty as President of the Board of Trade is to defend the dishonesty of tradesmen at any cost , and on every occasion . Mr . Cardwell excels in his power of hiding the truth under such a heap of official rigmarole that nobody can find it . Of Mr . Bruce we have spoken already in these columns . He is above all law , and apparently order too . At least , the Speaker never ventures to stop him in his explanations . The great Home Secretary defames the characters of individuals , reverses the decision of magisa trat nd e benefit s , and preserves of society . many With murderers Mr . Bruce , he e word can , for explanation the use is derived from ex , " away from , out of , " jblanare , " to li wander mits of . " veracity He wanders alike . away But from , after the all s , ubject these , and blemishes out of were the - only to be expected in a Ministry constructed like the present , History is clear enough in her teaching on this point . Coalition ; Ministries are always the worst . It is hardly possible to imagine a more hateful coalition than that which arises from a reluctant assumption of noble ideas and purposes by men whose natural narrown ess of mind and selfish apathy give the lie to the assumption at every turn .
