We understand that there will be very little private business
during the next session of Parliament, and that the decrease in the number of railway bills will he extraordinary.—Leeds Mercury.
" The cry of the Spectator, and of that section of Tory. Radirals of which it is the organ, has been, and is this—that Ministers were not Radical enough ; and that, if they had been more Radical, they would have the support of the country. Well, then, the general election is the test : and what is the result, ns regards the Radicals ? Why, that with one or two exceptions, the Radicals have been driven with defeat front the hustings everywhere they appeared."—Dublin Evening Post. [ This, which we find quoted and properly handled by the Northern 11"hiy, of Belfast, is a specimen of the disregard of truth, when it suits party purposes to lie, which we used to think was exclusively characteristic of the Tory press. But latterly the Whig papers have not scrupled to Misstate facts, or pervert them by disingenuous trickery, as shamelessly as the most unprincipled Tory journals in existence. The writer of the Dublin paragraph must have known that the Radical candidates "with one or two exceptions" were not driven from the hustings 4, everywhere they appeared.' As we observed last week, the Radicals have gained, not lost by the elections.]
