REAL CAUSES OF THE TORY DISASTER. COURIER—After a troubled existence of four months, the Peel Administra- tion is at an end. It was born of the agitation got tip by the Orange-Tory- I ligh•Church party during the last smuttier and autumn; and the avowed ob- ject of forming it was to uphold the Church of heland. On that principle Sir Robert Peel and his friends took their stand in opposition to their opponents; and to compass that object they were even lavish in their professions of mutants in other departments of the State. The announcement of measures—abating 25 per cent. on the Tithes of Ireland—for making the marriages of Dissenters a civil contract—for settling the Tithe question by voluntary compromises on the principle of justice—fm lamming the Ecclesiastical Courts—wen! so many bribes to allow him to carry out his one principle of protecting the Church of Ireland. All would not do. Ile (Might manfully. We have always given hint credit fur having conducted the hopeless contest with admirable skill and great energy ; but the inherent injustice of his cause was such, that it bore him down, and his great talents have only rendered the defeat of his party more striking and decisive. He last night stated, that the vote of the House of Commons on Tuesday night " implied the necessity of a total change of the system of Government in Ireland, so far as the Church revenues were con- cerned." That was on his part an admission, after having striven to the utmost, that the object for which he had formed au Administration had com- pletely failed, and that a change must take place in the Church of Ireland. To what extent that must go, it is not our present object to state. We are far less surprised at the result than that Sir Robert Peel, with the good sense he has generally evinced, should have undertaken to manage the Government upon the principle of maintaining the Church of Ireland. When Eldon was united with Wellington—when Grant and Palmerston sat on the same benches with Sir Robert—when the whole Tory force was united and unbroken—when the taxa- tion of the coulitty was thirty millions more than at present—when the genera- tion then in existence was far more attached than tins to the prejudices of the one which preceded it—when the supreme power of the Government had been almost unassailed, and the charm of its invincibility was strong over the public mind—even then the Tories could not resist the pressure from without; and they were obliged, gradually, to give up taxation, to reduce the establish- ments, and to commence a reform in the administration cf the laws. After they bad commenced such a reform—after a new generation im- imbued with Reform principles had grown into existence—after repeated de- feats had shown that the Government had no power to resist the popular and national will—after the Government had conceded tu overhearing public opinion, the repeal of the 'fest Act, Catholic Emancipation, and Parliamentary Reform —it does seem to us something like madness in the Tories to suppose that they could now resist the onward flood, or stop the pressure f • without. The supposition argues, in thetn, a total ignorance of the events of the last few years. It seems probable that they learn so much in carry life, that they heroine inca- pable of correct observation. They seem never to separate the precepts drilled into them, which are adapted much more to past time thin pi esent circum- stances, from the rules those circumstances teach ; and, with all the fondness of a first hove and early associations, they give more weight to the lure of books than to the wisdom taught by fact,.—April 9.

ton iu our history by its activity in producing measures universally approved of, and by its universallyeconfessed faultlessness. The Church Reform plan, the Dissenters' Marriage Bill, the Military Reform Commission, the Tithe Bills, English and Irish, the Ecclesiastical Courts Bill, and the other measures of the session, constitute a mass of legislation, or arrangement preparatory to legisla- tion, that would at another time be thought to constitute a vast fund of Minis- terial merit, though spread over years: but it is not in the number, or even in the magnitude and beneficial tendency of Sir Robert Peel's measures, that his chief praise is to be found—the matchless skill and inflexible integrity with which he managed to adjust the rights and interests, and even to conciliate the prejudices of all parties, are claims to applause in which he distances all competitors. He has in each of his measures of reform satisfied all who would reasonably demand, without alarming, any who would reasonably preserve. Indeed, the few complaints that we have heard of any of those measures, were grounded upon the satisfaction they gave to moderate men Ile has, nowever, been driven from office, by the same party that bad previously destroyed. by a direct process, two Administrations within twelve months, and rendered

the destruction of a third necessary to the independence of the Crown The tactic by which the Administration of Sir Robert Peel has been overthrown, is

by itself a confession of the excellency of the conduct of that Administration, and of the purely factious spirit of its opponents. Unable to charge it with either transgression or neglect—unable to convict one of its legislative propositions or executive acts of error, or even inadequacy—unable to say that a single demand of the country was not met, and satisfied as early as the limits fixed by them- selves in their former possession of office would permit—the Whigs and Radicals have been driven to the most vulgar artifices of vexation and delay, to wear out the physical strength of a Cabinet invulnerable to any attack resting upon moral or political grounds. Every estimate has been retarded by speeches and debates, empty of practical objections, and destitute of even the pretence of reason ; and speculative questions have been raised, so obviously unconnected with practical government, as to demonstrate that they had no motive but to place the King's Ministers in difficulty, and to consume the public time.—April 9. •

DIFFICULTIES OF FORMING A MINISTRY.

TIMES—It is alleged that Lord Grey has referred his 3Iajesty to Lord Mel- bourne, as the individual who best can serve him on this occasion ; and there is just so much ground for accrediting such a rumour, that Lord Grey himself must almost inevitably have failed had he undertaken the task required of him. On close examination of the crisis, there are difficulties which we apprehend Lord Grey may consider fatal. His Lordship is known to have declared him- self quite adverse to this resolution which by Loud John Russell's wisdom is made the corner-stone of the Government, and of the legislation of Parliament, in reference to the Irish Church. The noble Earl could not have the assistance of Lord Stanley, of Sir James Graham, or of any of those seceders from his original Cabinet, who have down to the latest hour condemned the Ward resolution, recalled to existence by Lord Julio Russell's majority, were he even disposed, which of course Lord Grey cannot be, to solicit f• them such an

abandonment of their avowed opinions And how can Lord

Melbourne—should Lord Grey himself be unable to solve the problem sub- mitted to him by the Crown—how, we say, can Lord Melbourne avert this terrible catastrophe ? What arc the resources of the noble Viscount ? lie has to partake his own sympathies, and smoothly and heartily to cooperate with Lim, of Constitutional Whigs,at the outside lts0. But what of that? The Destructives, English and Irish, muster nearly 200 Members. AVM Lord Melbourne obtain their services for nothing? Assuredly not. They are gentlemen who well understand the quid pro quo. They can construe "menus" seen more glibly than " Muni." For nothing they will give nothing. Their votes must be paid for by something in the shape of power. Why, the Govern- ment of Lord Melbourne will be like a comet, with a body hardly visible, but a tremendous tail. We fear its course will be equally eccentric, as its coming is undoubtedly calculated to shake more than superstitious minds with terror. There is little question but that his Majesty would be anxious to make now the same proposal to Lord Melbourne that he pressed last June upon the noble Viscount—namely, a coalition with the more moderate Conservatives, as the basis of a solid and durable Administration. Lord Melbourne then declined the proposal, on the ground that to form a coalition there must be on one side, or on both, compromises inconsistent with the political honour of the parties. 1Ve must confess, we do rot see in the existing posture of affairs, much room for hope that, while the Irish Church question shall remain unsettled, a coali- tion can by any possibility take place between the advocates of the recent resolution, amongst whom we presume Lord Melbourne must now consider himself, and Sir Robert Peel and his supporters, by whom that resolution was opposed. Flow far it may be practicable, through any mediation, to bring together round Sir Robert Peel ( in ease of Lord Melbourne's failure to form a Cabiuet such as the country would endure) reasonable and dispassionate Whigs enough, not yet pledged to the Radicals, to enable that able Minister to go on again with even the smallest majority which would carry a vote, until he could find elbow-room to act in, and time enough to impress the real nature of his sound and well-digested policy upon the minds of' the people, we cannot de- cide.—April 10. POLICY OF THE NEXT GOVERNMENT.

MORNING CORONICLE—The English are a people of plain practical sense, and if a proof should he afforded that the state machine will not work, they well know bow to deal with the difficulty. We therefore are not in the least alarmed at the threat of factious opposition on the part of the House of Lords. But the really important consideration at present is not how the Lords may act, or the 'Tories in the house of Commons, but what is the course which ought to be pursued by a Reform Ministry to insure the support of the Nation. We hold it to be of the utmost consequence that the policy of a Reform Ministry be firm and uncompromising. The great error of the Grey Ministry was that, deeming themselves secure of their friends, they hazarded displeasing them, in the vain attempt to conciliate their opponents. All experience is against this system. No enemy was ever gained by yielding to him. In fact, such a course only flatters his self-importance, and impresses him with the belief that he has only to ask more, to obtain more. Men will not be driven from a certain course by finding that their opponents will always allow them to have their own way. The conciliatory policy implies that they who are to be conciliated are the strongest; and to fill a man with the belief that he is your master, is not the utmost effectual mode of inducing him to become more moderate in his expectatigns. Reform Ministers ought to consider, only what will justly satisfy Reformers. They may be certain that the Tories are their inveterate, irreconcileable enemies, who would drive them from office the very moment they cease to be supported by the nation. To deserve and to obtain the support of the nation ought therefore to be the end and object of their policy. "While the people repose confidence in them, they may boldly set the Tories at defiance. The Reform Bill has transferred the powers of the State to the middle classes, and neither bribery nor bullying can enable the Tories hereafter a to obtain a majority in the House of Commons. But there most be no halting between two principles—no trimming—no concessions to please courtiers—but an open and straightforward course of conduct, which can be appreciated by the well-informed part of the community.

SIR ROBERT PEEL'S DEFICIENCIES.

GL0116—Readily as we admit Sir Robert Peel's great Parliamentary talents, we must not have it supposed that we give him credit for any great degree of

wisdom in his Ministerial policy. His acts displayed little of the skill which was shown in his subsequent defence of them. We will not blame his accept-

ance of office. Perhaps it was not voluntary : perhaps he felt that, under the circumstances under which the 'Government was offered to him, he could not in honour refuse it. But his choice of colleagues was a blunder which he might have helped. The materials of the Tory party are wretched enough ; yet even among them there is a choice—the choice between the degrees of bad. Ile might have taken the had: why did he fix on the worst :1 Why affront the reason of mankind and the feelings of England by placing Gmilburn and Knatelibull, and Aberdeen and Ellenborough, in a Cabinet? There is no excuse for his subsequently linking himself with the Giangemen in Ireland. The support of Colonel Perceval was not worth the bribe of his petty office; but his name was enough to forfeit the support of all sane men to the Ministry which could connect itself with him. The offer to Lord Roden was worse; and the empty honours conferred on Messrs. Lefroy and Shaw completed the mischief of the previous mistakes. We think that the dissolution was a greater and more fatal error, and that the real interests of the Conservative cause will for ever suffer fur the step, which secured a momentary accession to its numbers in Parliament. Nor has even the conduct of affairs in Parliament, beyond the mere speaking of Sir Robert Peel, exhibited any great skill. The appointment of L londerry and the subsequent attempt to defend it, the appointment of Lord Canterbury to Canada, the debate on the Orange lodges, the proposal of the grant of the million to the Irish clergy, the defence of Colonel Tremenheere, and other matters of the same nature, exhibited lament- able mismanaerment. These blunders occasioned disasters which all the rhe- toric of Sir leobert could never repair. As a Cors.ervative, we also doubt whe- ther Sir Robert has acted wisely for his cause by remaining in power until forced out on the question of the Irish Church. Perhaps, by retaining to the last all the props of Ministerial power and position, he has inlisted a greater number of votes on the side of time minority than it would otherwise have received : but by rendering his own Ministerial existence dependent on the maintenance of the present abuses of that Church, he has probably made them the object of a more concentrated attack than they might under other circumstances have been exposed to. and rendered their removal a certain con- sequence of the duwnfai of his Government.
