The question now uppermost in all men's minds is, " What will,the Ministry do ?" But there is an other equally important and perhaps more difficult of solution, which is, " What will the Opposition do ?" It is evident that Mr. GLADSTONE has made up his mind to do something remarkable this ses sion, but what that may be is as yet undetermined. It is by no means so necessary for the Ministry to resign, as some seem to consider it is, to suit their own wishes, for they have every right to remain in office until the sentiments of the country at large have been ascertained through the medium of a gene ral election. There is nothing to prevent Mr. DISRAELI from putting off the dissolution until January next, provided the Opposition are willing to behave in a constitutional manner. We should hope that Mr. GLADSTONE will have too much re spect for his own reputation to comport himself in the manner some have foreshadowed. He must know that in a►l probability he will have many chances of coming into office hereafter, and need not settle the point now or leave it as hopeless for ever. Sir C. O'LOGHLIN, it is true, informed the house the other evening, that it was the intention of some of the Opposition to push the contest a l'outrance, and to move a vote of want of confidence in tne Ministry, if they should not resign on the question of the Irish Church. This may be nothing but bounce, but even if it meant more, it is to be hoped that Mr. GLADSTONE'S own sense of the fitness of things, and the advice and representations of his wiser friends and followers, may induce him to put off the evil determination referred to, and follow in a truer, nobler, and more statesmanlike policy. It surely requires little time and thought to show the extreme impropriety of proceeding to the extremity hinted at. In the first place, it would show most effectively that the real object in view has been to get the Liberals into office, and not to amend the irregularities iu the Irish Church. It would be an exhibition of factious manoeuvring, and of party spirit triumphing over statesmanlike feelings a n d public interests, alike sad and contemptible to wit ness. So much would it detract from the credit of those who would resort to so paltry a device that they would be in reality the losers in the game if they succeeded to all intents and purposes. If anything were needed to render the protest against such a scheme more strong it would be the question of the Reform Bill, and that alone is an unanswerable argument against Mr. GLADSTONE'S factious proposition and vexatious poli c y. Why should he meddle in this uncalled for fashion, and dictate terms in this arbitrary style, when so much remains to be done in so short a time, and when so little time is left for it to be done in. Ile is acting in an unfair spirit altogether, and we wonder what Mr. BRIGIIT and his school of politicians would say if the Con servatives had so far forgotten themselves as to bid for officca after this fashion ? We should hear a great dell of the want of reticence displayed by certain grefxly politicians, and their greed for office overcomin g their respect for constitutional usages, and no art. It is scarcely likely that if we searched diligently in the records of " Ilansard" we should find a. parallel for the conduct now pursued by th e leader of the Opposition. Who, this time last year, dreamed that the month of May we are now in would find us in the midst of a struggle about the Irish Church, and awaiting with anxiety the solution of a Minis terial crisis thereupon ? We believe that there would be just the same silence about something else. Mr. GLADSTONE'S resources are so many, and his ingenuity so great, that he would have created a question of vital import had none appeared ready at hand. Mr. DISRAELI, as we said before, has every reason on his side in adhering to the deter mination to remain in office until the new Parlia ment reassembled. A few necessary preliminaries must be got through first, but they will not occupy much time unless most particularly met by some_ parties in the House. Why, then, cannot this constitutional cause be taken instead of time being wasted and expectations disappointed by the persistent prosecution of Mr. GLADSTONE'S schemes and devices. If he be not content with the Irish policy of the Government next year, what will be easier than to challenge it ; but he wants to be first and foremost to inaugurate the new Parliament himself, and though he obstructed the passing of the Reform Act of last year as much as possible, he desires to appear as if the country owed it to him, and actually to reap what others sowed, though being in office at the culminating moment. Surely the honour and patriotism of this House of Com mons have not fallen so low that he will be permitted to carry out these selfish pro jects, and indulge in the realisation of his ambitious aims. It is one thing to affirm the Resolution about the Irish Church, and another to follow Mr. GLADSTONE through thick and thin in his perverse attempts to regain office at any cost. Let the independent Liberals, who have so often before been appealed to, and not in vain, come once more to the rescue, and save, not the Ministry —for the rise and fall of Cabinets is a matter of minor importance compared with the momentous interests at stake—but protect the character of the House from reproach, and the re pbiudtdatiniognfoorfoffitheeeirasowthne psaa o r r ty ific f e ro o m f cotnhseistcehnacrygeanodf propriety. At any rate, Mr. DISRAELI had better do his utmost to frustrate the tricks and over come the obstacles that surround him. He will have the sympathy of all who admire independence and value perseverance; and we still hope that, notwithstanding all the odds against him, he may yet weather the storm, and be able to have his opportunity of fighting the battle fairly in the right place. The tactics of Mr. GLADSTONE were defeated last year by the determi nation of the independent Liberals, and it may be that the same result will yet come to pass through their exertions. We can imagine nothing more unlikely to conduce to the strength of the Liberal party than this effort at regaining office at any cost. This is not the first time that the leader of the party in the House of Commons has made factious struggles, but really the pre sent occasion furnishes an instance of more inexcusable selfishness than any on record. Only those who are hopelessly prejudiced in the matter will refuse to admit that the circumstances in which the Ministry are placed are exceptional ones, and that they have just claims to consideration. On no party grounds, on no prudential motives, in no re ligious interests, but for the sake of justice, for the love of fair play which is indigenous to this coun try, we hope and trust that the majority of the [louse of Commons will stand firm under the pres sure now put upon them, and remain true to the trust reposed in them by their constituents. No man of spirit would owe the rise of his party to the devices of faction, and the most ardent ' opponent of Her MAJESTY'S Government on poli tical grounds may consistently support them in the position they are now placed in. They stand at bay, as it were, oppressed and hindered by the ceaseless persecution of those who are greedy for office. The general opinion throughout the country will certainly condemn Mr. GLADSTONE should he, after all the warnings he has received, exhibit a reckless deter mination to try the venture at any. cost, and put only one object before him, that of regaining office. The continuation of the Impeachment Trial at Washington shows more and more clearly the animus of the prosecutors. No shadow of impar tiality is kept up, no pretence of a case, for the pub lic interests maintained ; the bitter hostility and personal greed of office are the only moving springs of action. We have often commented on the manifest injustice and unreasonableness of re fusing to hear evidence which plainly bears upon the case, and this system of persecution is being kept up more strenuously than ever as time goes on. There is a manifest dread of eliciting too much, a fear lest the defence should make their case so strong as to render conviction impossible, and thus the truth is sought to be hid rather than brought to light. The more closely does the evi dence objected to affect the case, the more decidedly is it repulsed, provided always that it is favourable to the accused. The Chief Justice, in pursuance of the Constitutional and judicial course he has from the first adopted, generally decides ttat the testimony may be received ; but when put to the Senate, the majority almost always is found on the side of the Radicals. We have now somevery glaring instances of this shameful system of repression. It will be remembered that the PRESIDENT'S counsel put forward Mr. Secretary WELLEs, who had im portant evidence to offer respecting the Cabinet consultations on the Tenure-of-Office Bill. It is manifest that if the PRESIDENT contemplated the infraction of the laws, his consultations with his own Cabinet must tell powerfully against him. If the Managers really believed that Mr. JOHNSON had been guilty of half the offences they charge against him, they would not be so apprehensive of hearing the evidence of those who were most likely to know his intentions and fathom his designs. The Senate refused to receive the testimony of Secretary WELLES, but we now find by the intelli gence brought by the Russia on the 18th ult. the defence renewed the attempt to bring him forward. Chief Justice CHASE decided as usual that the testi mony was admissable, as indeed why should it not be? The Senate, by 26 against 20 votes, over ruled this decision, and by the same vote rejected the testimony of the Postmaster-General, who was prepared to prove that the Cabinet had advised the PRESIDENT that the Tenure-of-Office Act did not ap ply to Secretaries of State appointed by Mr. LINCOLN. Mr. EVARTS announced that this ruling excludel the testimony of Messrs. SEWARD, M'CULLOCH, BROWNING, and others, which the defence had in tended to offer. Thus a whole body of witnesses, the best qualified from their position to know the whole truth of the case, are summarily rejected without any definite I eason. Very much depends on the attitude assumed by the PRESIDENT in NOTHING IMPOSSIBLE. AGUA AiNIARELLA restores the Human Hair to its pristine hue, no matter at what ago. JNO.

But a still stronger instance of the injustice of the Managers is given in the suppression of Gen. SHER MAN'S evidence. It will be remembered that after he had given some evidence which was very damaging to the Radicals respecting the transactions at the War-office the case was adjourned, and while it was standing over, SHERMAN was privately examined by the Managers, since which no more has been hoard of him. This is so marked, con sidering the position of the General, that it could not be altogether overlooked even in the House of Representatives, biassed as it is ; and we find that a resolution was introduced providing that a com mittee be appointed to investigate the reports of the Managers who refrained from examining Gen. SuElotAw during the trial i❑ consequence of the result of a preliminary examination. No vote, however, was taken upon this resolution, as natu rally the majority are unwilling to inquire too closely into such proceedings. Another move, which was certain to be opposed by the predomi nant party in the House, was a resolution boldly offered by Mr. ROBINSON, a Democratic mem ber, to recall the Managers and rescind the Impeachmenb proceedings. This resolution was pressed to a vote, which decided against it by 91 to 18. Happily these numbers belong to the House of Representatives, not to the Senate. The respec tive strength of the rival parties is anxiously dis cussed, and speculation is rife concerning the issue of the trial. The results of the recent elec tions have not been without their influ- ence on many wavering minds. It is not without significance that the Radical gains, such as they are, are southwards, where the reign of terror still lingers and the ingenious registration system keeps out the white voters, while the De mocratic gains are is the North where the intelli gent convictions of the people make themselves felt. Thus the Republican party have succeeded in carrying South Carolina by the large preponderance of the negro vote. The new State Constitution has been ratified, and Radicals elected to most of the offices. On the other hand, they have lost Connecticut and Michigan, and in the town elec tions throughout the Northern States the Demo crats are constantly gaining ground. It is therefore very probable that some of the more prudent and less vehement Republican Senators may oppose the deposition of the PRESIDENT. Some may be influenced by the prevailing feeling in their States, as the Senators of Oregon, Connecticut, West Virginia, and New Jersey ; while others, whose views are moderate, and characters fair and just, may reasonably take exception to the manner of the trial. It is thought that SPRAGUE, of Rhode Island, who is the son-in-law of Chief Justice C RASE, will probably vote with the Democrats on the final verdict. The Democrats themselves are twelve in number, and the addition of seven Republicans will enable them to carry the day, as two-thirds of the Senate must convict to remove the PRESIDENT. It is therefore possible enough that America may be spared the disgrace which has threatened her, and the now rapidly approaching termination of the trial is looked, for with intense and increasing in terest both in Europe and America.

George Francis Train hardly occupied a dignified position on Wednesday. The mighty orator who erewhile had brought tears from the eyes of his hearers and pub licly received presents at the hands of his admirers—who was going to spend one does not know how many thou sands in building an American residence for his Holiness the Pope, the money being obtained (as we suppose) from the British Government which had wrongfully imprisoned him—the boastful Yankee on whose behalf the United States were going to war with Great Britain—appeared before the judge of the Dublin Bankruptcy Court as an insolvent. Even then he could not conduct himself as an ordinary insolvent. He must needs ask the judge for advice as to a suit for false impri sonment entered against the arresting creditor, in which the damages are laid at £lO,OOO. Mr. Train, it would seem, having failed to get rich on tratle, is now going to try " claims " to see what they will do for him. Having been informed that the judge he ' nab ing to do with the suit in question, he exclaimed, " I regard this matter as entirely political," though where to find the politics would puzzle tl4O Mtutegit observer, CORRESPONDENCE PROM PARIS, (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, FRIDAY, May I. The Emperor's speech at Orleans is now the great sub ject of speculation. Innumerable reports are spread abroad respecting it. One states that M. Rouher has ob tained the Emperor's promise that the speech shall be decidedly pacific ; another declares that the optimists will be put to confusion by words recalling the celebrated speech at Auxerre two years ago. Every circumstance that can make for or against peace is scrutinised with eagerness. The article in the Debats has called forth divers criticisms. The Constitutionnel, in a conspicuous paragraph, declares that its contemporary has been " in exactly informed" with regard to the disagreementalleged to exist between M. Rouher and Marshal Niel. "Before the commission on the Budget, Marshal Niel confined himself to asking for the credits which would enable him to maintain the armaments of France at the same level as those of neighbouring Powers, and M. Rouher did not contest this necessity. Moreover, nothing was said by the two Ministers to give reason to fear that the peace of Europe is menaced." The France also criticises the article in the DCbat., and complains that Government should be compelled, like another Sisyphus, to be for ever rolling back the stone of suspicion. The France adds that the present armaments are rendered necessary by the con stant improvements in the art of war, and that they need excite no apprehension. The commission on the Budget still withholds its report, and it is uo secret that this delay is caused by serious differences among its members. Nine of the members are said to be resolved to demand reductions of the military estimates; and it is even said tl:lt they insist upon 50,000 soldiers being sent home. They plainly told M. Itouher that his emphatic assurances of peace were not sufficient for the commissioners, since the Emperor might at any time set aside his Minister and decree war on his own responsibility. M. Rouher, probably, does not object to this opposition, inasmuch as it strengthens his demand for a peace policy. But hitherto the Emperor has sup ported the Ministers of War and Marine in their enormous Budgets. A military paper announces :—" Notice has been issued that the soldiers at present serving, as having been drawn for their own account, and who since they entered the army hare become eldest eons of widows or supports of families, are to be immediately sent to their hothes. These men will receive unlimited leave of absence, but that circumstance does not mean complete liberation, as they will still be included in the effective of their regiments, and the names of soldiers absent on furlough on any other ground than that of the six months' usual leave must still appear in the monthly returns. The number of men in this position amounts to about 3,600, and, in addition, 8,600 at present en conga remain so, 5,600 belonging to the class of 1863, and 3,000 concluding their term of service in 1868. This makes a total of 12,200, who will remain with their families unless unforeseen events should arise," It will be noticed that this is almost exactly the same number of troops as that of the Prussian soldiers who have just received furlough. While the Emperor is thus resolved upon spending the full amount upon war, education suffers, and the commis sion on the Budget is refusing M. Duruy a vote of £B,OOO for increasing the notoriously insufficient salaries of the professors in the superior schools. It is stated that serious differences have arisen between o it Government and that of Tunis with respect to the Tunisian debt. The Liberec' declares that our consul hauled down the French flag on Sunday, and suspended diplomatic relations with the Bey. The same paper inti mates that England and Italy have had something to do with this quarrel. Some of the journals state that Austria and Prussia have agreed upon a solution of the Schleswig difficulty, which they will offer for the acceptance of Denmark. If the latter country refuse to accept the arrangement, I presume that Prussia will wash her hands of the matter and retain the whole of Schleswig. Baron Budberg has taken leave of the Emperor. li e returns to Russia, and, though he has offered his services to Prince Gortschakoff, has not received any other appointment. The debate on Free Trade and the Commercial Treaty Is fixed for the 11th inst. It is expected that MAI. Berryer and Thiers will both make powerful speeches in behalf of protection. The raris correspondent of the Times describes a very =satisfactory state of things in France. He mentions the report that the Ministers are at open or secret war with each other, and that the Ministers of Finance, the Interior, Marine, and War are banded together against the ever-increasing preponderance of the Minister of State, and that the last, upheld by the Ministers of Com merce and Justice, and supported by the Emperor, is doing utmost to bring back the Marquis de Lavalette into the :labinet. He failed once before, when he sought to place ;he Marquis at the Foreign Office ; he now seeks to put him over the Ministry of the Intericr, so as to control the elections, which he wishes to bring on next October, and to conduct in a reactionary sense—aware that, if he suc ceeds, he will be master of the s'tuation. There is a zeneral feeling of irritation against M. Rouher, for it is Said that the Emperor has virtually abdicated in that Minister's favour, and that he and his party form a sort of Regency Meanwhile, the Ministerial organs are all at loggerheads, M. Rouher's journals, the Patric and the Pays, discrediting the Epoque, which is known to be inspired by the majority of the Cabinet. The adverse critics complain no less of the foreign policy of the Government. They point out that France, which established Italian unity, has estranged Italy ; having permitted the unification of Germany, now wants to undo it ; that with a nation opposed to war, large armaments are going on. It is feared that the English success in Abyssinia will be urged as a season why France should recover the prestige lost in Mexico. Astonishment is felt that M. Rouher, like M. Guizot in 1847, and the Emperor, who sees only with M. Rouher's eyes, should perceive none of the " dark spots" in the horizon. The funeral of Marshal Narvaez was a very imposing spectacle. The body was laid in "an elegant coffin." The pall-bearers were great peers. The catafalqfie was loaded with orders and decorations. The army has gone into mourning, and so has the O f ficial Gazette. Dissen sions has already broken out among the reconstituted 'Ministry. ---- - The Times publishes correspondence from Abyssinia up to April 1, nearly a fortnight before the taking of Magdala. The same tale—of difficulty in marching, of hills, ravines, absence of roads, and of splendid scenery—is repeated. There is not a bit of excitement in it from be ginning to end, and the writer himself speaks of things as being so dull that he, like Mark Tapley, felt it a " credit to be jolly." The health of the troops was excellent, but the weather was dirty, and the wonder was that the troops were so well. A disturbance of rather a serious character has taken place at Antalo. One village or tribe of Abys sinians appears to have managed to monopolise more of the lucrative privileges of selling to the Commisariat and carrying for the army than another tribe thought fair ; so the injured party mustered in strength, well armed, plundered the bazaar of their rivals close by the British ca mp, and, flushed by their easy victory, shouted out that they would now plunder the British themselves. How ever, the appearance of a few of the 3rd Light Cavalry on the scene sent them at once scampering over the plain in great confusion, and the free fight ended without any more serious result than a few broken heads. Still, it was thought as well to increase the garrison at Antalo, lest there should be another more elaborate row, and so part of the 45th (Sherwood Foresters) and of the 3rd Native Infantry were at once sent there. There is a good deal in clothes, after [all, pace Mr. Carlyle. So long as the Hungarians were oppressed by Austria all classes of them clung to the national costume as ono of the best ways left to them of asserting their nationality. Now that this is admitted, and that they have a Hungarian Parliament and a King of Hungary, they are beginning to adopt Paris fashions, the ladies wisely selecting the most picturesque portions of both and combining them into one charming costume. A Vienna journal, the Debatte, asserts that the French Government has proposed an alliance between Austria and the Western Powers to establish a common fleet in the Levant, for the purpose of preventing the communications between the Greek and the Cretan ports, by which the Cretan insurrection is kept up. It is not likely that our Government would venture to propose a course that would be intensely unpopular. Nor would Russia quietly submit to what she would deem an interposition in the affairs of Turkey. Australia, if the correspondent of the Post is to be trusted, is engaged, or rather engrossed, in the subject of a grant to Sir Charles Darling. It requires no less than six columns of the "fashionable journal" for the Mel bourne correspondent to prove that the Duke of Bucking ham meant nothing by his letter to Sir J. H. Manners Sutton, the said letter being regarded by the Times as a sanction by the Home Governn wit to th• Darling grant. It is suggested that the note in question was signed by the Colonial Secretary at the request of an official who. to speak plainly, got at the " blind side" of his grace. The question, it will be seen, is still an open one, as the discussion in the Lords was postponed on account of the vote against Ministers in the House of Commons. It will also be observed that the duke strongly condemned the grant in question, though doubting the expediency of continuing the Australian dead-lock on account of it—a fact which gives a colour to thi§uggesti9n of the Posy's correspondent. WORKHOUSE INFIRMARIES., A deputation of medical men from the British Medical Associath:n lately waited upon Lord Devon at the Poor law Board to urge various points upon his consideration with respect to the efficient inspection of workhouses. Mr. Hart stated that the association numbered upwards of 4,000 members of the profession, and among their number men of the highest position, the men who were regarded as authorities on all questions of infirmary management. He then proceeded to shew that tho association had ex pressed a very decided opinion that the infirmaries con nected with the workhouses could only be properly and efficiently inspected by men skilled in medical matters. He then proceeded to speak upon the order issued by the Poor Law-board a few weeks since, and published in the Times, requiring the medical officers of workhouses to report over the heads of the guardians to the Poor-law Board ; and so, he urged, the medical officers were called upon to do duties, without additional pay, which would entail a very great amount of extra work, and would besides place them in such a position as to lead to quarrels with guardians, upon whom in many cases the medical officers were obliged to rely for practice in consequence of the low official salaries paid. He.pointed out that the clerks and relieving officers, who had no collateral interests to consider, were not called upon so to report, but only the medical officers, who were, in some senses, the most defenceless of all the officers, Lord Devon remarked that the fact of the medical officer being the only officer called upon to report sheaved the apprecia tion the Poor-law Board ;sad of the ability and upright ness of those officers. Mr. Hart replied that it was a graceful and deserved compliment, but then it was, after all, an awkward manner of shewing appreciation to give mess additional work of such a character that a misunder standing with their guardians was the most likely thing to arise out of an exercise of it, and this was the more unsatisfactory as the board had lately shewn a decided leaning against medical officers by supporting the guar dians in calling for the resignation of Dr. Ransom, of Cambridge, and Dr. Rogers, of the Strand. In reply to questions put by the Earl of Devon and Mr. Fleming, Mr. Hart said six medical inspectors would be sufficient for the country, and the position of the ordinary inspectors would, he considered, be accepted by thoroughly:skilled men. Dr. Gibbon supplemented the first speaker's remarks by urging that if medical officers were called upon to fill up the reports. which this order called for, so much of their time as was at present devoted to the sick would be withdrawn in order to 'give atten tion to these clerkly duties. , He reminded his lordship t'iat prisoners' infirmaries were medically inspected, as were military hospitals, and the panperhospitals of England were entitled to the same privilege. Dr. Webstersupported these views, and drew from Lord Devon the remark that he had proved himself consistent onhispointingont that he bad urged this matter upon the board in 1837, as was shown in the board's reports. Dr. Stallard urged that the board should seek power to pay a portion of the officers' salaries, for then the board would possess a material power which i's did not at present possess. Dr. O'Bryen said the guardians in his district were of a class who would readily tale( offence at an officer reporting over their heads. Lor4 Devon said he was not blind to the facts which hail beer; urged against the order, and with respect to the suggested medic , inspectors, the hoard had recognised the principl f by the enr o lment of Dr. Markham and Dr. Smith as` inspectors. He promised to lay the views of the depute,. tion before the committee on the Poor Relief Bill; but l could not promise to advocate those views. There t e u r • earlNefarr.s p to isr b a e eli a w g e e n n t er t a o l c o o s n b c o u rn rr e en o c n e o F f ri o d p a l y ni . ct i : t a thi placed his resignation in her Majesty's hands, accompanied by a statement of the peculiar circumstances . which . have combined to make the present crisis unique in . parliamen4 tary annals. There is an equally general belief that thr Queen, after a full consideration of the position of the Ministry, declined to accept the Premier's resignation, that the Scotch and Irish Reform Bills will be pushed on with all practicable expedition, and that nothing but imperative public business will be transacted during the remainder of the session, with a view to the earliest pos sible appeal to the new constituencies. The Ministerial papers tell us that the Government will not, unless com pelled, appeal from a moribund Parliament to moribund registers ; but if the Opposition, as has been threatenedi seeks to deny to Ministers the opportunity of appealing to . the constituencies of the future, they will appeal to the; existing ones. A Cabinet Council is called for Monday afternoon, when the substance of the statement to be made by the Earl.of Malmesbury in the Lords and by the Prime Minister in the Commons will be agreed upon. That the Cabinet is not united is well known, but within the past day or two rumours of serious dissensions have been afloat. Four of the Premier's colleagues, it is understood, regard the position as no longer tenable, and have signified more than once their anxiety to retire. They feel that they cannot with honour agree to offer any material concession or enter into any deferred engagement respecting the Church ; and that if it is to he further defended something like moral confidence must be resus ; citated in the rank and file of their party by seeing men in high places make sacrifices of place and dignit o for the sake of principle. Lord Derby's personal influen& has been exerted to the uttermost to dissuade these noble friends of his from their purpose ; but it is state with confidence that by next week we shall have announce , merits of more than one withdrawal. Mr. Disraeli's frienai assert that he is fully prepared to fill up the vacant places, that he retains as fully as ever the confidence of Lord Derby, and that he has gained thoroughly the favour of the Queen, whose susceptibilities he is supposed to have been desirous of propitiating by endeavouring to avert discussion of the second and third resolutions. As intendti by Mr. Gladstone, this would not have given rise to airy debate affecting the feelings of her Majesty; but after Lord Derby's challenge of the power of the House of Commons as opposed to that of the Crown, it lS almost inevitable that questions should be raised and discussed. In some quarters it is believed that the Ministry must make some concess i ons if they would preserve their existence until the assembliry, of the new Parliament. Deport Las it that Mr. Disraeli will announce that all measures, except the Scotch and Irish Reform Bills, will be allowed to stand over, and that provision will be at once made f or having the first renistrations for the three kingdoms anticipated during the present year, so as to enable the g en ra l election to take place in October, and the new Pai:ame :t to be called together in November. The Estimates an I other pressing business would then be wound up, so • ha; the prorogation might take place the last week in J ule ; and a pledge, it is sa id , w ill b e o ff ere d that a comp : e l iensive plan of dealing with the Irish Church will I e reaiy to be laid upon the table on the first day of the winter session. The Imperial Review understands that Mr. Charles hardy, of Chilham Castle, will not improbably come for ward as Conservative candidate for East Kent, in con junction with Mr. Pemberton, M.P., at the approaching general election. Should the city of Aberdeen be granteL a second member, Mr. W. Christie, the late Minister at Rio, is already endeavouring to ascertain what chances of success he would have as a candidate for a second seat. Mr. Christie came forward for the Stirling Burghs, but declined to go to the poll. in the newly-enfranchised borough of Stockton the Liberals have selected Mr. Joseph Dodds as their candi- date. Mr. Dodds has held several important positions in the county of Darham in which administrative . and judicial capacity is required. A requisition will be at once ? presented to him. IThe Army and Navy Gazette is loud in its praise of Om management of the Abyssinian expedition. The Grand Cross of the Bath, with which he has been this week deco vated, ought, it says, to have been given to him years agcl" for his services in China. Oar contemporary adds : "Of course, the gracious consideration of the Crown will not stop with this. It is, we believe, unusual to confer hereditary dignities without consulting the wishes of those upon whom it is proposed to confer them, and, should there be no objection on his part, we have little doubt that Sir Robert will be made a baronet, the usual pension of £l,OOO a year for three lives being added to the distinction." The Spectator thinks that the gallant general will be offered a peerage, which he will probably be obliged to decline, having many children and slender fortune. 110 will receive from Parliament the usual pension for three lives, and will succeed Sir W. Mansfield as commander. in•chief in India. In the evidence given before the " Food Committee " of the Society of Arts, it was stated that most of the milk in London is adulterated 20 per cent. In poor districts the adulteration is far greater. There, a man will bring in a kettleful of boiling water, put it into something at the back of the counter, and then serve it out as " warm from the cow." So great is the rage for cheapness, that although the poor know that they are being cheated, they will always prefer a bucketful of swill for a halfpenny to half the quantity of genuine milk for the same money. 'Anti c is sometimes adulterated with a. decoction of turnips or parsnips. Genuine milk, it was stated in evidence, could not be sent round for less than 6d. a quart. THE CONDUCT OF BUSINESS IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.—On the meeting of the House on Monday, Mr. Gladstone will move that the standing order of the sth day of August, 1853, reserving the right of her Majesty's Ministers of placing Government orders at the head of the list of orders of the day, be suspended ; and that the other orders of the day be postponed until after the order of the day for the comp:ate° the Established Church (Inland). , t :4O , \ HER MAJESTY.

TILE MANIAS TOWNSHEND AND THE SOLDIEnS CHILDIZEN.—A little boy and girl, named James and Matia Little, aged respectively six and nine, were charged by the Marquis Towashend wit h begging. The Marquis deposed to seeing the children at half-past eight in the evening sitting on a doo r step under the colonnade in Pall-mall, the boy crying, and stating a very common thing among juvenile beggars, that he had dropped something down an area. The Marquis having watched the children saw them receive money from different per' sons, and he spoke to a constable (Mitchell, 126 A R), and as soon as the children saw the constable approaching they made off, but were followed an d taken to the station. From subsequent inquiries made by the constabl e it appeared that he went to Taylor's-building s) St. Martin's-lane, and found the room occupied bi the children's mother, very clean, but showing every sign of the greatest poverty. There wer e two children in bed, one about twelve months old and the other about two years old, a n d another child about seven years of age looking after 1 , 11 03 * The mother, who was from home working for the children, was the wife of a soldier of the Ist bat talion of Grenadier Guards, but he having m arried . without the permission of his officers had forfeit ed the usual allowance. The mother (a cleanly-looking woman, but from whose appearance there was little doubt that s ll ° was struggling with poverty, said that she worked at the army clothing, and after paying her ren t, with the little assistance she got from her husband, she had but 9d. a day to support herself and family The Marquis, commiserating the poor woman' who said that she never sent her children out to beg, said that if they would attend at the office °e the Universal Benevolent Society, Soho-square ( 0 ' which society the Marquis is the president), 116 would look into her case, and see what could be done for her. The magistrate, seconding th e Marquis's kind offices, discharged the children. THAMES. EXTRAORDINARY BURGLARY IN A PUBLIC-11 005 —Patrick Cumming, a labourer, aged 23, Wa' S brought before Mr. Benson, charged with two other s named Thomas Tadman and Frederick Alger, With feloniously breaki ng i n t o an d en t er i ng the Lot' Exmouth public-house, Star-street, Lower Shad' well, on the morning of Sunday, the 19th of last month. Tadman and Alger were arrested on the morning of the 19th at 218, High-street, Shadwell, where Tadman carried on the business of I I clog maker, while Alger occupied the lowe r part of the house as a photographic artist. It Is believed they were the perpetrators of many daring burglaries and robberies, but suspicion was dis armed by their carrying on lawful occupations Irl the house and their apparent industry. The three men were seen loitering about the Lord Exmout h public-house and vicinity on the morning of the 19th, an hour after the house was closed. Th e y were seen in consultation by a police-consta ble named Wm. Beer, No. 106 K, who missed them le r some time. Hesaw them again and Tadman and Caw' ming ran away. Alger ran towards him with his halide in his pocket, and appeared to be very unconcern ed ' Beer demanded of him what business he had in the street at two o'clock in the mornincr, which he replied nothing. He was taken into custody It was soon after discovered that the Lord mouth public-house had been entered by thieve"! and plundered of t w o c o ats, a waistcoat, a pair or trousers, a scarf, a shirt, a pair of s t oc kings, 3 pillow case, a glass cloth, a handkerchief, nap kin, 15d. in pence and halfpence, and 13 farthingB' The money was taken out of the till. Admissinfil to the house was obtained by opening a window c ' the first storey, which is only a few feet from the ground. The whole of the property was fo und concealed on the same day in the house °f 3 the prisoners Tadman and Alger. The former was in bed when he was arrested, and said lie had l' e de been out all night. His identity was clearly 1333 a out, and it was proved the old man was a returned convict, and that since he had served out his per of punishment he had been in custody for varicl, offences. Cumming is the son-in-law of old man, and he and his wife had also been in custody: Cumming was positively sworn to by Beer as ° lle of the loiterers in Star-street an the morning of the 19th. Some other evidence was given, and the . P r/ r soner, who asserted his innocence, called his sil t to prove an alibi. Her evidence was very unsa tis factory, and Mr. Benson said he should not bled her over to appear at the Sessions. The evid ent© , against the pri s oner w a s conclusive, and he 031 mitted him for trial. WESTMINSTER.
