It:doeuetd
of the fact, that their official existence must come to a close
in five or six weeks at the very farthest. With this convic-
tion haunting the Whig Cabinet by night and by day, they
are already, if we be not misinformed, going through the
unpleasant process of setting their houses in order. We
can farther state that the impending resignation will be a real
one, and not a sham resignation, like the last. Not, indeed,
that the Whigs are desirous it should be real, but that cir-
cumstances which they cannot control will make it so. We
believe we may state with confidence, that Lord Stanley will
be the successor of Lord John Russell, and that the course he
will adopt will be to go through with all those measures
which the necessities of the public service may render indise
pensable. It is supposed that the session will last until the
middle of July, when Lord Stanley will dissolve Parliament,
and afterwards adapt his policy to the composition of the
new House of Commons. If that House shall be decidedly
Protectionist, he will be prepared with a moderate fixed duty
on corn. If we are to have a free-trade Parliament, Lord
Stanley will be quite willing to put the questien of Protection
in abeyance.—Advertiser.
HOTEL AND TAVERN. KEEPERS, PETITION TO PAR"
LIAMENT.—A deputation from the hotel and tavern-keepers
of the metropolis, consisting of Messrs. Gardiner, Ellis,
Burrell, Wright, Elder, Tapster, Staples, James, Poole, &c.,
had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer on
Monday, and presented a memorial praying for a repeal of
the window tax on their coffee and sitting rooms, also the
tax on their servants, so as to be placed on the same footing
with shopkeepers and other traders.
SMITHFIELD MARKET.—The following is extracted
from the Sussex Agricultural Express of Saturday last
ean this very town of Lewes for instance, a gentleman wh
resides in the neighbourhood, and who knows every farmer
in the district, states as a positive fact that out of sixty
names that he saw attached to a petition, there were not tea
who ever sent a bullock to Smithfield market. The graziers
who send cattle to Smithfield are really suffering from want
of necessary accommodation, and the consequent ill-usage
and deterioration which their animals undergo. The sacri-
fice in the value of fat stock made in full and glutted mar-
kets arise entirely from the impossibily of keeping the ani-
mals over another week, in consequence of the ordeal they
are obliged to go through."
MANCHESTER, APRIL 1.--The market for yarns
and cloth to-day is dull and inanimate. There is no confi-
dence in the maintenance of existing prices for the raw
material, and people do not feel certain that the demand for
the manufactured article is so good as to withstand a down-
ward tendency in cotton, although, no doubt, a very active
demand would exist under a more settled state of prices. On
all sides, the supply of an additional and more certain
quantity of cotton is looked upon as necessary, to remedy
the under which the various interests of the cotton
trade have in turu suffered for the last few years.
