MEETING OF MINISTERIAL 3 OFrti
BERS OF THE HOUSE OF COMMON S.

SPEECH OF LORD J. RUSSELL.
In pursuance of a summons from Lord John
Russell, a meeting took place on Monday, foR the
purpose of hearing from his Lordship an explars
ltion
of the course which Ministers intend to pui -sue.
The meeting was a very numerous one. It inchi ded,
with scarcely an exception, every Member belongini ' to
the Ministerial side of the House of Commons nols • to
London.
His Lordship addressed the meeting to the follow i DI;
effect :
It was usual, he said, in the Speech from the Thro
on the opening of a session of Parliament, to ay. id
as much as possible any topics of an irritatin
nature, or which might be calculated to produi
differences of opinion. But he thought it his dut
to inform them that, in consideration of t3O
peculiar circumstances connected with the presf ,nt
meeting of Parliament, it was the intention of her 3 fa-
jesty's Government on this occasion to deviate from the
usual course, and to introduce into the Royal Speech
topics as would completely develop the policy they- had
determined to pursue, and as must inevitably ler Al to a full.
discussion of that policy. From this discussion he: teal his
colleagues in the Government were deters sin'-3d not
to shrink, and the Speech had been so frin 'ea as t°
afford every Member an opportunity of :pressing
his sentiments upon their policy, and the • House
an opportunity of recording its opiniol t • The
Speech would contain the usual topics, Ft 1 ad-
verting to which her Majesty's Government would,
1w was happy to say, be enabled to refer witt satis-
faction to ninny parts of their policy. With •. respect
to those parts of it which were most likely to of .cason
i
differences of opinion the decision of the itot Ise of
Commons would be taken, and when the ori 'zion of
the House of Cm:mons should have been exi .y;need'in the event, which he anticipated, of its bei
adverse opinion, he and his colleagues felt !nit it
would be unconstitutional for them to remait t an)
longer ill office. He did not conceal his belie;' that
an amendment to the Address would be moved and
carried by a considerable majority. But while-, be
expressed his persuasion that this would be the last
occasion on which they would meet as a party in
possession of the Government of the country, ho
could not refrain from expressing, at the same time„ his
conviction that the political principles which united tiu
were wise and just., and his confidence that, in whate;'s er
hands the Government might be placed, they must u %ti-
mately prevail.
This speech was of course loudly applauded, and t
meeting separated without discussion.—Morning Post.

MRS. TROLLOPE'S New WORK, "CHARLE S
CazsTrenslELr " Genius, undoubtedly, affords one of the mo. it
interesting subjects the imagination can dwell upon, and the ca
reer of one of those " very promising" youth so frequently to be •
met with, attempting to realise their ambitious hopes, is rival-
ing Lord Byron, when "he woke one morning and found himself:
famous" in the hands of so vigorous and natural a writcr as
Mrs. Trollore. cannot fail of being made as interesting as in-
structive. It:is allowed that her forthcoming novel, " as
Chesterfield, the Youth of Genius," is likely to be more eagerir
sought after by the reading public on this account, than anref
its admirable predecessors ; and as it has been stated, on thr
best authority, that the pictures of the literary society of the?
metropolis—an important feature in the work—excel even diet,
very cleverest of her clever delineations, we are not surprised.
at the eagerness with which its pui)lication is already inquired

after.
One of the most singular works, both as to
object and treatment, ever put forth in the garb of a nossl•
is about immediately to appear under the name of
" Wed-
lock." Contrary to the time-hallowed practice of works
de-
of
fiction, marriage, instead of being held up as the grand
sideratum of Young ladies, is shown to be oftener an unhapri
than happy state ; and old-maidism is accortUngly elevated.
into enviable dignity. The Authoress's " living instances" 0!
infelicitous marriages are very numerous and very striking, Ina
she seems determined they should be held out as beacons.
" This," says she, " shall be done for my
and not before they want it- Are they not sacrific.`ng
selves by myriads? Crying down single ladies, the lueer.sthe or
creation, who ought to be canonized as saints, ana tip ping
over them instead—a poor set of slaves, once as free to Ct loose
as themselves." ter-
