"Parliament Is Making Holiday. Considcra...
"PARLIAMENT is making holiday . Considcra-X tions of personal welfare outweigh , for a time , all party considerations . For the most part , the honourable gentlemen 7 who do us the honour vot to represent us in Hhe House of Commons are lying fallow after the ovcr-exextions of the past week . Some few there are , indeed , who carry the " shop " with them down , into the country , and while benefiting ; their bodily condition take any opportunity that offers for doing a stroke of business . Foremost among those who put iii practice the prudential axiom of making hay while the sun shines , is . Mr . Disraeli ; nay , his business activity is so great , it carries him even , beyond the limits of the rule he follows , for he not only makes his hay , but afterwards reduces it to chaff . His speech to the farmers of Bucks , at Slovigh , on Wednesday , was really a j large transaction , in which he went in for a very handsome profit for the firm which ho just now represents . Mr . Diskaeh was in high condition , his hearers were in high condition , and if the country is equally well-conditioned it will sec with half an eye thai its only chance of doing welL is to deal wholly and solely -with the house of Deuby , DisHAEiii , and Co . How much the country has already benefited by its dealings with that firm the country would , possibly , not have known but for the statement rendered by the second partner . What are these benefits ? Imprimis : England lias been saved from war with France , for tlie question of peace or war , when Lord Debby accepted office , Mr . Disraeli told his auditors , " was not a question of weeks or days , but of hours ; " Derby and Co . preserved peace and vindicated the national honour , —at the same time , not forgetting to use their best endeavours to procure the conviction of Dr . Simo : n Bkknard for the share he did not lake in the highly objectionable proceedings of Ousini and his hirelings previously to the attempt of the 14 th of January . To the firm , in tlie second place , the country is indebted for the release of the twoEnglish engineers after nine or ten months' captivity in Neapolitan prisons . It may be urged , in the way of discount , tliat this transaction lias not been entirely completed , and that the country has teen somewhat impatient , not to say disgusted . withiho delays that have taken place with reference to the exaction of an indemnity for tlio illegal -treatment and other wrongs sustained by our two countrymen at the hands of the
barbarian King of Naples ; and with the fast and loose character of the diplomacy employed by the firm in its negotiations -with Sardinia on this v ^ ry subject . . But if the country is largely indebted to D _ euby and Co . on account of these transactions , its obligations would appear to he almost overwhelming on account of ¦ the services rendered it in connexion with India . Tor the first time since tlie conquest of India the policy of the English Government will include " respect for private property / toleration for religion , and a due and decent regard for the manners' and customs of the people . " The Indian policy of the late Government was little short of infernal—a policy of . " unmitigated vengeance , " pursuing the innocent and the guilty ¦ with unceasing " massacre and confiscation . . " 'The-Buckinghamshire farmers cheered this idea with enormous energy . Derby and Co . have-changed all that , and a peculiar feature of the corrective system they have employed is the cave which they have taken to inform the Indian mind of the great fact , that England only holds possession of India , as a robber holds his ill-gotten spoil ; that , as tlie Thna says , " she is there an . invader , a robber , a tricky diplomatist , a violator of treaties , a forger of false titles , and as ycfc the unrelenting destroyer of those whose only crime is that we have wronged them . ' Such arc sonic of the services for which ]\ Ir . Dis lUEiii debits the country in the books of Derby and Co . Indeed , if we take his account of the enterprise and high character of his firm , there really seem ; no reason why he should not look down with uttej scorn and contempt upon that other great iirn which has lately stopped . 1 ' n heaping so niucl ridicule and contumely upon his late opponents , i is true that , as some have suggested , Mr . Disuael was crowing from a height upon . which a cock i ; supposed to crow loudest ., or at all events , witl most satisfaction 1 o himself . Bold of speech a : Mr . Disuakli is on most occasions , he is neve "bolder than when he addresses the " agricultural interest " of the good county of Bucks , whether a Hxickiiigliain , Aylcsbury , or Slough—which is cci tainly nover to him the " slough of despond . 1 He said some good things on Wedncs day evening , some things well worth pondei ing by the supporters of the Opposition linn . Mi Disraeli cautions the country against dealing wit tlie said firm , and it is for those who compose it members to decide upon the amount of justic which there is at the bottom of his allegation "Arc tlicsc the people you want to go \ crn th ¦ ¦
! country , " he asked—" people in whose camp there is anarchy , between whom there is discord upon every point , and who arc not even united by the com m on bond of wishing to seize upon the spoils of office ? " Tlie clear-headed , sharp-witted Conservative farmers of Bucks answered to a man , "No , liol" Now that was , possibly , quite the proper answer for those highly respectable persons to make ; . ' and tlie only thing that we care to say concerning it-Is , that it will be well for the Liberal firm to set its affairs in order as quickly as possible , so as to give a practical contradiction to the adverse conclusion it s rival has caused to be accepted , lest that ; conclusion should , by ill-chance , come to be more widely credited ! 3 esides Mr . Diskaili , a few other honourable members have improved the occasion of their holiday to " meet their constituents , " and otherwise to show that they know how to combine pleasure with profit . Sir Aktiiuh Ultox was at the 'Guildhall at Bnth on Wednesday evening , and explained himself i with generous frankness , apparently to the satisfac-; tion of both the leading sections of his cor .-• stituency , on the course taken by him during the dej bates on Mr . Cardwell ' s motion . He also stated ; his views regarding the leading questions of the day . ' Lord Canning's Proclamation he disapproves , ami - tlioxigh he is at odds with the present Govcrmneiit ¦ on many points , lie approves the intention but net tlie style of Lord Elxknborough ' s despatch , which j he looks upon as an honest despatch , and , withal , j one highly acceptable . r On 1 lie same evening , in quite another part ol i tlie kingdom , namely , Glasgow , a banquet was given i to a soldier of distinction , returned to England foi t the cure of his , wounds received before Cawnpore , l 1 'lic guest of the evening was Licutcnant-Colone > Alison , son of the historian . The point of intercs i in Colonel Alison ' s speech was his account of th s stupendous difficulties which had to be overcome b ; r Sir Colin Cami'BEll in Calcutta , before he coul 1 set a foot forward to relieve Lucknow . ' The prcciou t time , that seemed so endless when counted as dcltij ¦ he has accounted for , and shown the wisdom uu foresight of the Commandcr-in-Chicf in not goin forward sooner than he did . The-gallant soldi ( ' - gavo a stirring account of the ' operatfojte wjiifi -. ended in tlic first relief of thicr British Residency . i h L ucknow , and added his testimony to . the h ' ejoisi s of Haybxock , Outiiam , aniV'litGi'is . ; . .
