DISSENSIONS IN THE CABINET.

We can state, in the most positive terms, that within
the last few days, very grave dissensions have taken
place in the Council Chamber, relative to the question
whether there ought or ought not to be a paragraph in
her Majesty's Speech, recognising the benefits of Free
Trade, and pledging the Government to a continuance
in our present commercial policy. Mr. Disraeli pro-
posed that such a paragraph should form part of the
Queen's Speech, and the course which he proposed was
concurred in by Lord Derby, with a modification as to
the phraseology of the paragraph, and also by Sir John
Packington, Mr. Henley, Mr. Walpole, and Lord Lons-
dale. The proposal of the Right Hon. Gentleman was
opposed by the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Northum-
berland, Lord Salisbury, Lord Hardwicke, Lord Malines-
bury, Lord John Manners, and Mr. Heroics. There
were thus six for the recognition of the advantages of
Free Trade, and seven against it. But the numbers
may be said to have been, in reality, equal, inasmuch as
the opposition of Lord John Manners was of so modified
a character as to be hardly any opposition at all. This
was the state of affairs on Monday ; but we are unable
to give the final conclusion to which the Cabinet came.
To-morrow, however, will throw some light on the
subject.--Morning Advertiser.

SOMETHING LOOMS IN THE FUTURE.—The incessant
cabinet councils which are being held in Downing-street look
ominous. They are also of a very protracted sitting, and it
is said that the Chancellor of the Exchequer looks extremely
" glum " on his way home after they break up.
