NOTSS OF THIC WCISK.

It is authoritatively announced that • marriage
has been arranged between his Royal Ifighnees
the Duke of Edinburgh and the Grand Duchess
Marie Alexandrovnii, the only daughter of the
Cur of Russia. There were rumours of suoh •
match last spring, but afterwards it was thought
to be broken off. However, the Duke arrived at
Jugenheim on Thursday evening, and was
betrothed to her Imperial Highness on Friday.
The marriage seems to be on both sides one of
affection; but it is also in every respect one of
the most splendid to which any Prince could
aspire.
When the Sianseed introduces • rumour that
Parliament may be demised in November, with
• suggestion that the wish that the thing might
be, or the belief that it ought to be, Is perhaps
the sole reason for thinking that it will be, we
may restive it as one of the vaguest of rumours
—one possibly without any foundation what-
ever. it does not Mow that there may not
yet be found the necessity for a desolation this
year, though it la certainly improbable ; nor does
It follow that • dissolution ought to take place
because the principal daily Conservative paper
declares that it ought. Still, the moat impartial
can see the inconvenience of carrying on public
business under leaders who are conscious
that their power has gone; and there me
obvious inconsistencies in an Executive, that
professes solely to give effect to the will of the
people, continuing in office without an appeal to
the country, when there is fair reason for be-
listing that in many of the constituencies the
voles of the electors will be recorded against
their doing se. It les, for instance, discredit-
I able that twice ',Mei • week there should be
questions before the House of sufficient import-
ance to demand a tun explanation of policy by
the Premier himself, with • decide:l rejection on
the part of the Goverment of the proposals in-
troduced, bat whine the House mow* leaving
Ministers &este& Thee* little humiliations
reveal the disorg•alsatioa of the party in office.
It might be possible by • single vote now—say
upon the Judicature 8111, upon which the
Government naturally sets mush store—to invite
• dissolution this autumn. But we apprehend
that this is as little desired by the Opposition as
by supporters of the Government. Neither
party is quite ready for the election campaign,
and the object of the alarm, if such it can be
termed, of a possible dissolution in November,
Is to insure readiness,. It is poor work fighting
an uncertain battle, or • losing battle, for want
of organisation. It will be quite se well to be
ready by November, weather the election is to
take place then or in the Spring, and genuine
politicians in every constituency should bestir
themselves beams& Half the splittings-up of
parties at elections, and disorganisation, arises
from leaving as an uncertainty until the last the
nisnim of intendec', candidates for the ballot-box
favours

he Doily NMI says there Is no tenth what-
soever in the rl imour that the Government con-
template a d weolution of Parliament either at

The Pod states that the prorogation of Par-
liament oar ,not take place before the second
week of Au gust.
The rum Jur that the Nonconformists and the
League in tend to divide all the Liberal con-
stituenelei i on the question of the Government
educatior, policy, receives confirmation from an
official u.ianifssto published in the monthly organ
of the Lague. It is therein stated that in
&dean of those principles upon which our
Wigton°, was based, we have been driven to
resort to the moat powerful weapon of agitation
—to appeal directly to the constituencee, and
to give the electors, be there few or many, as
an opportunity of testifying by their votes their
spcireval of our course: -
have been • whole lot. of Select Com.
mitten upon different matters during the session.
For instance, the blouse of Lords have had a
Select Committee upon horses; the Commoos
have had committees upon coal, upon contracts
for stores, upon the game laws, upon civil serves
expendltuce, the civil service writers, and a
variety of other matters. What the labours
' of all these committees will amount to, and wind
will come of them It is impossible to predict;
nil the report of the Select Committee on the
Game Laws, issued towards the end of last week,
is not a very promising specimen of the wisdom
I of the Legislature concentrated in a committee.
The report recommends that rabbits be
struck out of the Game Law, that there should
be an easy and summary mode of arbitration in
caw, of damage by game, and that land whom
game is pressrmsd should be rated. These are
not very Leper tent changes to be reoommendee,
as the result of a Select Committee's inquires;
but doubtlew they are more important rococomedations than will be made by some of the
other eon= idea mentioned. On the wind*,
Select Coins 31ttees on abstract questions seld.om
INN= to at lain to any practical result, and
perhaps net uraily not.
EValeybla ly must be heartily glad (not even
excepting the defendant) that the first port of
the '' Thili borne" trial in the Court of Queen's
Bench has been get through safely. The eight
or nine d aye' noses that have been allowed In
order the t Dr. Kemialy should have time to
prepare It is speech foe the defence, are a respite
not only for &fondest, for witnesses, for jury,
for coon Del, and for judges, and for all persons
actually engaged in the case, but even foe the
general public, many of whom hare made •
point ol following up the evidence day by day
until ti ley are radii sick of it. Dr. Hamel,
has • g gentle task before him; but if he realizes
, the ac ticipations he has raised by hints and
intima dons he has thrown out, his fortune as a
beryl& ,ey will be mac Of course, some extra-
ordinary disclosures are expected by the partisans
!of the Claimant; and if Doctor Kenealy has .
' nothi erg new to tell ha will have misled the public
by s'ich remarks as" You do not know my case
yet, Mr. Hawkins," sad "There are many things
you do not know Mr. Hawkins." The learned
dock,, would hardly indulge in suck observations
as these if he had not something more to bring
forward than the omas of the Claimant in the
Court of Common Mess. The expectation of
goes° novel and striking points being introduced
In the ars Is so general that the disappointment
will be great if Dr. Lineal, does not support the
anticipations Ids own words have molded.
