THE DEFEAT OF THE MINISTRY.

The resignation of Lcrd Palmerston's Govern-
ment was much discussed on Saturday as a ploba-
ble contingency, as soon as the public had an
opi ortunity of perceiving the importance of the
decision of the previous night. As a fact, however,
it was not known until yesterday morning, when it
was announced in the leading Sunday papers. The
Observer contained the following statement
" The government of Lord Palmerston is at an
end. At the Cabinet Council, which assembled
yesterday (Saturday) at 4 o'clock, Lord Palmerston
took the opinion of his colleagues, which was given
unanimously, and without hesitation, and he pro-
ceeded to the palace, where he laid. his resignation
in the hands of the Queen, and he returned to his
colleagues, who sat in deliberation for au hour
after his return. Of course it is impossible to know
what passed in the presence of the Queen—but we
believe that it is pretty well understood that Lord
Palmerston will announce to-morrow to the House
of Commons, and the same aunounoement will be
made in the House of Lords, that the Ministers
f)n I y hold office until their successo►s are appointed.
We believe it will be at once acknowledged that no
other course was open to Lo.d Palmerston and his
colleagues. It was 'not merely the vote of the

house, but the manner and tone of the debate, that
rendered it impssible for them to take any other
,Courfie than that of instant and unconditional resig-
n 4

Lord Palmerston arrived at the palace shortly
before 5 o'clock. His interview with the Queen
was brief, and we believe his lordship departed
from the ordinary practice of retiring Premiers in
not advising his Sovereign as to the quarter in
which she might best apply to find a successor to
office. Her Majesty, whose constitutional know-
ledge could dispense with the aid thus withheld,
sent for the Earl of Derby, and appointed an inter-
view with him after divine service yesterday morn-
ing. The result of the interview, with its sequel,
will be aulentically stated to-night in Parliament.
No d iubt is felt that, little as Lord Derby is
inclined to undertake the toils and cares of office,
for the sake of his credit, as the head of a party,
he must now seriously exert himself to construct a
government. In the Tory camp hope. and fear
mingle and alternately prevail. Many high offices
in the state were readily allotted yesterday by the
more speculative Conservatives. Lord Malmesbury
would take charge of the Foreign-office, where his
intimate friendship with the Emperor of the French
it is thought would prove useful, not to speak of his
experiencein that department. Lord Ellen borough's
special knowledge of Indi i would qualify him for
the Piesidtaikship of the Board of Control, if he
were not wanted for tha Ministry of War, which
a ,me assign to him and others to Lord Stratfordde
Reiclitle. In these arrangeinents the Privy Seal is
given to Lord St. Leouards, and Sir Frederic
Thesiger is made Lord Chaticollor.
Appointments such as these are easily made ;
the real difficulty is to get an administration which
shall be able to make a figure in the House of
Commons. Everything here turns upon the deci-
sion of Mr. Gladstone, the only member of the Peel
party of whom the Tories have any hope. The aid
of Mr. Cardwell and Mr. S. Herbert, it is under-
stood, is not to be obtained ; but with Mr. Glad-
stone to lead the House of Commons, the experi-
ment of a conservative cabinet would be made.
Meanwhile, the personal friends of Lord Palmer-
ston do not speak of him as out of the field. Their
language implies a belief that he is inevitable ; that
his sudden resignation will demonstrate for a few
days the helplessness of the Queen and country
without his aid, and that afterwards he will be
summoned back with acclamations to pass a Con-
spiracy B 11, or any other which he may choose. If
such were his lordship's thoughts, his conduct in
declining to recommend an adviser to the Queen
would be partly explained.
The result of the division of Saturday morning
was instantly telegraphed to Paris and the prim:-
pal capitals of Europe.

MANCHESTER, FEB. 2).
There has been a strong feeling existing here
against the Conspiracy Bill ; but, atter the ap-
parent subserviency of a majority of the Com•
mous to the Government manifested in the divi-
sions on that and the India 13,11, peJple were taken
by surprise this morning, whek the electric tele-
graph told the defeat of ministers. Even many of
the admirers of Lord Palmerston, and supporters
of his government, have ill brooked the taunts they
were compelled to hear, respecting the craven spirit
indic tted by the policy of their party; and the more
so, I:.;•caue, during the 'Me war, they boasted much
of their patriotism. Such men have felt much diffi-
culty iu squaring their old pride in the protectiun
hitherto given to foreign refugees, and indepen-
dence of loreign dictation, with their allegiance to
party, and the Manchester Examiner thus expresses
this feeling in the following remarks on the result
of the debate :—" We cannot altogether wonder at
the result of this debate ; for Erulish liberals
may well be aroused to anger against any
foreign governm tint which endeavours to make us
give up that right of asylum of which they are so
justly proud ; and we must confess that we should
have heard with satisfaction that, prior to the
meeting of Parliament, the governtnent had re-
plied with spirit. to Count Walewski's despatch."
Of course, to tl se friends of the late members ior
Manchester the announcement was the source of
great sa,tisfacti.ont.
