and polio letters bearing on Reform, in which be

proper mode of dealing with such a subject is, not the
metaphysical, hut the inductive or experimental—not
the assertnn of &helmet rights, but the consideration of
practical consequenoes ; and that any dement below •

Tel Winfrey. —The present crisis in the affairs of
Government does not look more hopeful os nose con-
sideration. It is hard to see • way out of the confusion
in which all parties are involved. Of coarse, everything
now depends upon the anima of lb. Literal party, and
what tt is to be is at present doubtful even to its
chiefs. Ose thing °sly eon be said for certain, that the
laiber•l Parte, by which we mean these who have the
accedence and wield the power of the party, are not at
all eager to displace the present Government. Ge the
contrary, they are anxious to avoid any result which
would oblige them to take oat is themselves just now.
But then comes the difficulty. It is already agreed, we
believe, that the Government resolutions as they nand
are too indefinite and impracticable to Is aceepted. Again,
to debits them one by one offers a most di/treating
prospect, with the certainty of great delay and the pro-
bability of rupture after. all. What, thee' is to be
done? That, on doubt, will be settled at the meeting
of the whole Liberal body which is soon to be held.
The present disposition of the leaders of the party into
give the Government an opportunity of so amending
and revising the resolutions as to constitute • really se-
eeptabie basis for digression. But sueb • course is by
no means in favour among the Radical leaders, who,
having a direct end in view, and caring little about the
reconciliation of party differenen, or the difficulties
which sometimes beset the task of forming a strong
Ministry, are for rejecting the resolutions forthwith and
abolishing the Government with them. Moreover, it is
not easy to see how the Government can take beak their
resolutions for amendment, and remain in *Mee to
amend them. Thus the whole situation is fill of
difficulty—at the root of which is, of 001111 e, ttrtey..ri.me

of Down Derry, several miles to the westward, at 11
am., and continued bumping until 11 35, when she
was backed off by her 'sew. Some timbers, supposed
to be portions of her false keel, were beaten off, and

THR TORNADO CASS—The Times says that the ease
of the Tornado, as disclosed in the voluminous corres-
pondence just presented to Parliament, wears a more
serious aspect than has been anticipated by the public.

at Madrid, to inform General Colonise ones more and

Crampton is farther buttoned, in the event of the
officers and men captured on baud the Tornado not
having been discharged from prison before the receipt of
Lord Stanley's dispatch, "to present • formal sots to
