THE DAY'S NEWS.

DISSOLUTIONt PARLIAMENT

This heading will, no doubt, surprise our readers,
yet it is, nevertheless,
.true. Ministers have resolved
to dissolve Parliament, And appeal to the country
for an approval of their policy.• What the verdict
will be, there can be no doubt. The awouncement
made in the House of Lords by Lord Derby, and in
the House of Commons by the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, will be found at length under the head of
Parliamentary news, The tone of both addresses
was to a degree sarcastic and bitter—that of the
Chancellor's particularly. Lord Derby stated, the
Ministry had only two courses to adopt—either to
dissolve or resign. A third had been suggested
from a quarter anything but friendly, " and the
bare suggestion of it amounted as nearly as possible
to a personal insult." He alluded to the divided
condition of the opposition members in the Commons,
and regretted to see nothing but " confusion worse
confounded." The Chancellor of the Exche-
quer said, he viewed the present position of
parties in two lights, "the Conservative and the
Revolutional y." He assigned three reasons
which had operated on the Government
in determining upon. a dissolution. One was the
divided state of parties ; another the state of Foreign
relations ; and the third was the frequent failures
which had taken pligo the subject of Reform.

So soon as the urgent business could be disposed of,
the Parliament would be dissolved. Lord Palmer-
ston stated it as his opinion that the course deter-
mined upon by the Government was a very unwise
one.

A telegram, in another column, gives later news
from Bombay. It announces that the agent of Ras
Sahib had come in to arrange for his submission,
agreeably to the Royal Proclamation.
Advices received from Paris, yesterday, state
that the Powers have not yet come to a complete
agreement as to the conditions of the Congress. It
is said that the French Government has taken fresh
steips to procure the admission of Piedmont, of
which, however, there appears to be no hopes. The
Biedmontese Government is now_ preparing another
expostulator', manifesto against -.its definitive exclu-
sion from the Congress.
News from Hanover state that the French
Ambassador was recently obliged to quit the
Theatre Royal in consequence of an anti-French
demonstration of the audience. The Royal Family
was present at the time.
The Paris correspondent of the Times announces,
on the authority of two private letters, that an army
of 60,000 men would soon be encamped in the vicinity
of Lyons. A third letter, dated Saturday, states that
an army of 60,000 men has been ordered to the fron-
ticr of Piedmont. This information is stated to be
derived from a general officer, who says that the
order was sent to Lyons, by telegraph, on Friday
night. The correspondent of the Times remarks that,
if the news should be correct, it is no doubt the result
of M. 'Cavour's mission to Paris. It is observed that
the apparent change °flute ha-sheen merelyto tran-
quilise the English. and Prussian Governments, and
thege notes of preparations are strange on the eve of
a Congress. At the review of the army of Paris,
yesterday (Sunday), by the Emperor, there were
35,000 men under arms. The Empress and the
Prince Imperial were present. There is no
alteration in the state of trade in France, the
hopes of peace and the fears of war alternating
so rapidly, prevent merchants and manufacturers
entering into any operations. Government has
alleviated the difficulty of obtaining credit by extend-
ing the system of dock and warehouse warrants.
Wheat has fallen in the Paris market. A lot of Irish
oats offered for sale by auction last Wednesday found
no bidders. The fear that the vines have been affected
by recent frosts, has caused greater activity and

A meeting was held yesterday, at the Blue Coat
Hospital, fur the purpose of inaugurating the Liver-
pool Church Aid Society. There was a very large
attendance, and *laded most of the leading
Churchmen of the town. The chair was taken by
the Bishop of Chester, and was addressed by the
Rev. Rector Campbell, Dr. MeNeile, Rev. Mr.
Lomas, Archdeacon Jones, and others. The
object of the proposed society is to increase
the amount of church accommodation for the working
classes, and to improve the condition of the ill-paid
but overworked incumbents. About eleven hundred
pounds in subscriptions and donations were subscribed
in the room before the meeting separated.
An adjourned special meeting of the Birkenhead
Commissioners was held yesterday, as will be seen
by referring to another column. The business
immediately before the meeting was as to whether or
not the commissioners should follow up their opposi-
tion to the Wirral Water 'Works Company's bill in
the House of Lords. Their opposition was with-
drawn, subject to the condition that no injury should
be sustained by the commissioners. It was also
agreed that no further opposition should be offered
to the Mersey Dock and Harbour Board's bill, pro-
vided that the amendment proposed in the House
of Commons should be carried in the House of
Lords.

At the Police-court, yesterday, a Spanish sailor
was committed for the wilful murder of a brush-
maker, in this town, one William Marshall, by stab-
bing him to the heart with a bowie knife, in Preston-
street, on Saturday night. A full report of the
proceedings at the Police-court will be found in
another column.
