• RINIGNATION OF TILE MINISTRY.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE—I rise, my lords, for
I s purpose of toweling that the order of the day which
Made for Friday nest for the appointment of a committee
upon the akin of India be diseharpd ; and in making
Mot motion poor lordships will readily conceive that the
Woad upon which I make it is a circumstance which mast
be alroady known to all of your lordships, vis., that all her
Majesty'a present ministers hold office only until their too-
meore have been appointed. My lords, in making this an.
mencement I certainly am moat anzioas es make no °herr
maims whatever calculated to ezcite any difference of °pi-
miss, or oven to provoke any sort of discussion. I should
fish so to act today, under any circumstances, but more
apselally in the absence of the noble earl--• sable and
mach valued friend of mine, though a political opponent—a
Roble earl, from whom I have within the last hour
Imard that ho has accepted office, and is engaged
la forming a new administration. And that is
work in which, although it is impossible for
mm to give him any assistance, I am rare
I should be the last asaa to create, while it is in my
power to ensue. the slightest shade of impediment to the
hemation of that or any other administration under

any cireutuitances—(loud cheers)—beanie we are daily
informed, that independently of the administration
which is now being formed, there are con-
gealed in this country many anonymous administrations

gewly to undertake the duty of conducting her Majesty's
slain, but too modest to make themselves kaown. (" Hear,
bear," sad • laugh.) My lords, I have, therefor*, only to
Mate that, having been long of opinion—and every boar
"which has past during the last year has confirmed me in
that opinion—th it the retention of office, and the pro-
Magaties of official soistebee by a government which does
met obtain that amount of support which is necessary to
enable it to conduct with eMeieney the Queen's affairs, is'
most undesirable ; that such a government, not only CIMS•11
to be a potent government for good, but becomes productive
of evil to the country—(has, beer)—l, thou:fon, the
wily imam that I was apprised by my oak, friend
at the bead of her Majesty's government, es Saturday
1110flihe. that, is consequence of what had passed the
sight before, he wire disposed to adopt the muss of nags-
kg late her Majesty's hands the trust which she bad coo-
ked te him, instead, signified my satire annescone
and approbation of that course, sad I ant sathorieed to

tttats that when, may, I eommudested es the

;beset that It is by ehmeviag that wine, and that med.

the sontrasy, I believe it to be the wish of ell the mai part
of the people of this country, that you should mutinies to

similar to theme whole give your lordships a place here,
when these lamitatkons leave been brainy destroyed, and a
desire to reeenstreet them leas followed, in which it has not
at the mom time bees found much more easy to destroy
than to essetnest. (Hear, beer.) Therefore, with a most
ardent hope that, order whatever government this country
to 'lam& year lordships will continue to malatain a worse
whish swedes you to the respect of the country ; and which
Mopset, I am confident, if you deserve it, you will crothise
to minima. (Hear, bear.) My lords, I have ventured to
way thew mod from the isaraliar situation in which I now
lad ssysalf; =Mare mew only to add that it is my in-
tuition to propose that year kodaldps, es riming troight, do
Wren until Friday next. That is the malt of a comas -
Weighs which I have had with a noble 11111110 whom I have
alluded; but if there is burner of ea codhary character
tibia it may be head womanised to transact Ia the interim,
there coo be no *edits to your adjourning from day to
day ; with a perfect eindereteading, however, that until
Friday out, no plebes buesOms will be tranencted. (User.)
The Earl of YALlifielitillY said that on the side of
the house to which be bsleoged their lordships had beard
with pride and pieseere the mosey in which the noble
mompeis hod adlremed the home. (Hear, hear.) When
he told them that during the political haeAles which had
