THE DAYS NEWS.

The House of Commons did not meet last night,
and the House of Lords held a very short sitting.
Lord Derby said he hoped their lordships would not
construe his silence, as to the important division in
the Commons, into indifference, but, on the contrary,
he regarded it as a most serious occurrence. He
stated he had had an audience with her Majesty, but
he had not received her sanction to any course he
might advise. He postponed all statements until
Monday.
During the whole of yesterday there was a good
deal of excitement in all the Political Clubs of Lon-
don, and the ministers were not active.
The Evening Herald of last night says, " Shortly
after ten o'clock this morning, the Chancellor of the
Exchequer left Grosvenor-gate, and proceeded to
the residence of the Earl of Derby. The Earl and
the right hon. gentleman remained in consultation
until twelve o'clock, when they left together, and
proceeded to the Chancellor of the Exchequer's
official residence in Downing-street. At twelve
o'clock a Cabinet Council was held, at which, there
were present—The Earl of Derby, the Marquis of
Salisbury, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, General
Peel, Lord Stanley, Mr. .Sotheron Estcourt, Sir
Edward Bulwer Lytton, Lord John Manners, the
Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Hardwicke, the
Earl of Maimesbury. Sir John Pakington,
and Lord Donoughmore. Sir William Jolliffe
had an interview with the First Lord
of the Treasury at half-past nine o'clock this morning,
and afterwards called upon several of the leading
supporters of the government. During the whole
of the morning the clubs have beeu crowded with
members of both Houses of Parliament, and other
gentlemen who take an intetest in political affairs
We, however, do not deem it advisable to give cur-
rency to the numerous rumours, many of them
utterly absurd. Six baronetcies, it is currently
stated at the clubs, are to be created, the following
gentlemen being the chosen persons : The Chancellor
of the Exchequer (Mr. Disraeli), Mr. Gladstone,
Mr. Sotheron Estcourt, Colonel Taylor, Colonel
Forrester, and Mr. William Deedes. In some quar-
ters it is stated that the Earl of Derby will nominate
Mr. Henley for one of the baronetcies, notwitstand-
ing his recent defection from the Ministerial ranks.
The greatest excitement is prevailing, and Peers
have been inundated during the whole of the morn-
ing by applications for tickets of admission to the
House of Lords to-night, there being an expectation
that the Earl of Derby may make a statement. It
is not, however, likely that the noble loud will antici-
pate the statement which the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer will make in the House of Commons on Mon-
day.
The Globe says, " The Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer had a consultation which had extended
over two hours this morning with the Earl of Derby,
at his residence in St. James's-square. At twelve
o'clock they proceeded together to Downing-street,
where a Cabinet Council was held at the official
residence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The
Cabinet rose at half-past two o'clock. The Earl of
Derby immediately after proceeded to the Palace,
where he had an audience of the Queen."

The Express says :—" During the whole of the
morning the clubs have been crowded with members
of both Houses of Parliament, and other gentlemen
who take an interest in political affairs. It is confi-
dently stated by all parties, that the noble earl will
not venture upon a dissolution of Parliament, but
that after the Cabinet has closed its sittings, he will
proceed at once to Buckingham Palace, and announce
to her Majesty the resignation of his government."
The foreign news is quite unimportant this morn-
ing, the French mails not having arrived.

published. In the minority appears the names of
Beecroft, Cobbett, E. Dennison, Sir Arthur Elton,
