SECOND. EDITION.

NORTHERN TIMES OFFICE, WEDNESDAY, 9 A.M

THE POLITICAL CRISIS

The announcement of Lord Palmerston's intention: to
deal with the critical state of Europe, on Fridey, leas
created much excitement.

The Times remarks that the motion does not come a
moment too soon, and it sincerely believes that Lord
Palmerston's notice has in it no party object. What we
want, is to learn what is the position of the European
Powers ; what we may hope, and what we must fear ;
what are the chances of peace and war ; and, above all,
what position England has taken and maintained in a
crisis so momentous.

The Daily News still hopes to see a broad, fearless,
and free foreign policy marked out and adopted by Eng-
land ; but the wanton postponement of the navy esti-
mates, and an initiating speech from Lord Palmerston,
will contribute but little towards it.
The Morning Star remarks that Lord Palmerston
cannot but be conscious that his notice will obstruct the
course of the Reform Bill.
