MINISTERIAL EXPLANATIONS.

After.a pause of some considerable time,
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE rose for the purpose
of moving that the order of the day standing on the
paper for Friday next, for the appointment of a Committee
for considering the affairs of India, be discharged. In
that motion he believed their Lordships would readily
acquiesce, whenthey heard that the ground upon which
he made it was a circumstance which Imust be
known already to all, that her Majesty's present
Ministers only held office until their successors
were appointed. In making this announcement, ho was

He had always been of opinion that it was im-
possible to prolong the existence of a Ministry which
had ceased to obtain that support 'which was nE,ce-
aary to enable them to conduct :the affairs of the
country with efficiency, ad therefori when the Nohie
