MINISTERI&L PROBABILITIES.—We understand that

it has been arranged among the leading men in the Conser-
vative party, acting on the suggestion of Lord Stanley, not to
bring forward any questions, in the meantime, which would
be likely to embarrass the Russell Ministry, and by that
means to precipitate another .15.11,isterial crisis. The great
object of the Noble Lord, who is the acknowl•-•dged " guile,
philosopher, and friend," of the Conservative party, is to allow
the present Cabinet to stagger on until the middle of April,
by which time the Papal Aggression Bill will be got rid of
in some way or other. Lord Stanley will then be prepared
to take office, under the impression that, as the Great
Exhibition will be so near at hand—for the success
of which, it is well known, Prince Albert feels the
deepest solicitude—the necessary influence will be employed
in the proper quarter, to prevent the Whigs from offering
any factious opposition to the new Conservative Cabinet, as
that would necessitate an immediate dissolution, and thereby
cause the greatest disappointment in the h ghest quarters.
Should the Conservatives, by thus ingeniously mile 'ling the
mouths and tying the hands of the ex
..
Ministerial Whigs,
succeed in tiding over the sessi▪ n, until the end of June or
beginning of July—it is expected that Lord Stanley will ap-
peal to the country, and that his▪ commercial policy will be
based on Free-trade or Protectionist principles just as the
complexion of the new House of Commons may be. The
Noble Lord, it would thus appear, is not 80 bad a tactitian
after all ; nor is he by any means encumbered by a too rigid
adherence to principle.—Advertiser.
