THE DAY'S NEWS

The political news is of an important and in-
teresting character this morning. Messrs. Henley
and Walpole, the former the President of the Board
of Trade, and the latter Home Secretary, have
sent in their resignation to Her Majesty,
in consequence of not being able to agree
with the other members of the Cabinet on the
subject of Reform. Their resignation was ac-
cepted, and the vacant offices at once filled up.
Lord Donoughmore succeeds Mr. Henley, and
Mr. Sothern Estcourt succeeds Mr Walpole, Lord
March going to the Poor Law Boari.

Mr. visraeli introduced the Derby Reform Bill,
last evening, in the House of Commons, which
was unusually crowded on the occasion by Peers,
Ambassadors, and strangers. The Chancellor of
the Exchequer, in the course of his remarks,
stated that the Reform Bill of 1832 was quite
equal to the wants of the country at that time ;
indeed, he was of opinion that legislation was
then in advance of the age. Since that period
no nation of the world had increased
so much in population and capital, nor
had the spread of education been so
vast. The Queen had, in a speech at the
opening of parliament ten years ago, declared that
an alteration in the laws of the representation of
the country was advisable, and this assertion was
repeated at the opening of the present session.
It was the unanimous opinion of the cabinet of
Lord Derby, that the question must be dealt
with, and in an earnest and sincere spirit.
The Derby ministry were in favour of
adopting the bill of 1832, to the circumstances
of 1859, keeping in mind all the principles of the
Constitution. The Right Hon. gentleman at great
length combatted the principles of the new system
for representation on the basis of population and
property, andav pointed out many dangers
which he
theerred would result from the
adoption ofons of the " New School,"
as being altogether fallacious. With regard
to the borough

not in favour of reducing it to a £2O test. SeveralNas
other minor alterations and a
mendments were
alluded to by the right hon. gentleman, after
which several members spoke, and the discussion
on this most important subject was adjourned.
In the House of Lords, last night, the Earl of
Malmesbury repeated his assertion that the French
and Austrians were about to withdraw from the
Roman States at the direct request of the Papal
Government.
The Continental news is more warlike. The
Communication of the Pope to Austria and France,
requeiting the withdrawal of troops from his

dominions, has caused great dissatisfaction in
Paris ; and the impression seems to be that the
French Government will decline to obey his
Holiness. The feeling in the maintenance
of peace is evidently becoming very faint,
and it is believed that the Austrian
government will decline to enter into any negocia-
tions with Lord Cowley. The Paris correspondent
of the Globe says,—" That the field batteries of
the new rifled ordinance are now waiting steam
transport at Marseilles, and 800 seige guns on the
same principle are already finished and warlike.
It is well understood in Paris, that the Emperor is
not displeased at the prolongation of the
present interlude, as the arrangements for a sud-
den development of his plan are not matured,
though nearly so. The hope that Lord Cowley
will accomplish something is not very sanF,uine.
Louis Napoleon will not give up his footing in
Italy without a subst mtial. equivalent, which it is
equally clear Austria will never give unless under
dire compulsion. The correspondent of the
Evening Herald states, that there is talk of the
probability of war being declared against Austria
on the 11th April, the anniversary of the abdica-
tion of the Ist Napoleon at Fontainbleau, in 1814.
But all !this is mere rumour, the intentions of
the French government being studiously kept
obscure.

The Markets' Committee met yesterday, and
reporters were in attendance. A large number of
applications for the office of General Superinten-
dent was laid before the committee, and referred
to a sub-committee for consideration. Some con-
versation took place as to the propriety of reducing
the salaries of the superintendents of the several
markets, after the general superintendent has been
appointed.
Yesterday, at the Police-Court, a young woman,
named Sarah Lee, was prosecuted for obtaining
board and lodging under false pretences. The de-
tails of the case will be found curious. She repre-
sented herself as the widow of the Rev. Mr. Lee, the
nephew of the Bishop of Manchester, and " done"
a Mrs. Potter, of Ashton-street, and Mr. Smith, of
Albert-street, Edge-hill. She represented a Mr.
Waldron, of Redcross-street, as her friend, and
spoke about £4,000 a year, and carriages,
Altogether, she adopted a new and artful dodge,
although it seems she is an old hand. She has
been locked up for the present. .

Ou Saturda-y, on the Rugby and Leamington
line of railway, a train ran off the rails and upset,
killing three persons.
