The personal I iuccess of Lord Pnhnerston consists, alwve all, in tbo heck sustained by some of bis most remarkable and most meritorious adversaries.

Diplomatic relations between Sardinia and Austria will, t is said, bo restored sooner than expected. The Tinted jifortns us that the Intervention of the British ami French governments for the arrangement of the existing differynces between the Austrian and Sardinian government* lias been favorably received. The Mridchaiel difficulty is at length also in a fair way jf adjustment. A Paris letter in the Ar-rrf, stating that tbo onference will not again meet before Saturday, adds that the instructions demanded hy Dr. Kern are not likely to five rise to new difficulties, inasmuch as the principal point now in discussion is a demand made by the King of Prussia for a sum of 2,000,000 franc*, for arrears of his domains in the canton since 1848.

Hie expurgation not only of vicious, l>ut even of some meritorious elements, proceisls almost too rapidly. W lieu j the House of Commons meets it will lie with the serious 'onseiousness that a great number of its most active and 1 lido spirits are discontented exiles, moving heaven and I arth, and ready to go lower still, to obtain readuiission. It will 1k> the case of the Celestial Empire, besieged ; by "outer barliarians," or "foreign devils," as the vagrant sympathies of some will entitle them to be called, hitslde of the House, agitating, haranguing, wilting, plotting, combining, and oil but coalescing, will be Coblen, Bright, M.

(.'lay, Wilkinson, ind Ollveira; there will l>c layarcl and other free knights; there will also be absent Card well, Bounded Palmer, the two PhilUniorcs, Butt, M. Chambers, and a liost of others, more or less distinguished, or hoping some day to iistingiiish themselves. All of these will lie in outer darkness, yet not at all liojs'less of readmissioii. Indoors there will be positive raps in the debate?cries for Oobden or M. Gibson, ami 10 Cobduq to stand up. His own purge lias operated too ffectively by half, for he lias turned the liousc out of loors. ljke the old lady in the nursery ryhme, he bus old liis lied and now lies upon straw. In the house wo ihotild think the result will lie a little more calmness and leevney of discussion, and a little less of that peculiar ityle of oratory which lias recently lieon imported from -the bright region of the scttiug sun" into the British louse of Commons. o o o o We may Is- sure there will be a prodigious cry fbr a tew reform bill.

No parliamentary reform would have mode | my dilfereiicc here. No imaginable apparatus, no scale 5 if suffrage, no equality of divisions, nothing whatever iliort of driving the voters up to the hustings and lua- ;.'i ring them vote lor Messrs. Oolslen and Gladstone on s iiulty of death, would have infected the result. It is ? lie old English heart and the simple English nature w hich iavc done the work here. From all kinds of constitu ucies, great hiui small, popular and ciohc, there lias been ;; he same result. For our own part, we never desired or '! svvn imagined that an appeal would be mode to the peo>le 011 such a question. To us it seems the height of abmrdity tliat any men professing to be statesmen should orce such an appeal upon the minister. He had no & :hoicc, however, but to accept it in behalf of the people, ind, eoiifident as we were as to the result, we were sutis- i ied the H)qwul luul been made, That satisfaction inTeasea every day, and England may now lie eongrutu- .] nted on 11 1 Parliament elected not upon any measure or ip lolitical dlflereneo, but simply 011 an appeal to the natu- ,i al feelings and common sense of the people. > tut mo.m.v makklt. !"
