THE SUNDAY CABAL.

THE DISSOLUTION.

The debate on Mr. Cardwell's motion will be
resumed to-morrow by Mr. Collier, but it is genes
rally believed that the division will not take
place before Saturday morning.
In Palmerstonian and Hay Write circles the
confidence with which, a few days age, the result
was anticipated has given way to painful mis-
givings. Even the most sanguine only count
upon a very small majority in favour of Mr.
Cardwell's motion, and many impartial and well-
informed persons are-of opinion that the triumph
of Ministers is certain.

In neither case should we envy the position. of
the Palmerstonian faction, for, if Mr. Cardwell's
motion be negatived, they will be covered with
confusion, as the authors of an abortive intrigue,
while, if it be carried, the consequences will be
even more disastrous, as a dissolution of Parlia-
ment would necessarily follow, and the Cambridge
House place.hunters, acquitted by the House,
would receive a severer chastisement from the
eountry.

As a proof that the Palmeratonians are them-
selves conscious of the reception which awaits
them, at the hands of their constituents, we
have remarked, in the course of the debate on
Mr. Cardwell's motion, that every allusion to a
dissolution was received with loud demonstrations
of applause from the Liberal and Ministerial
benches, whilst the Palmerstonians observed a
sullen silence.

The admirable speeches of Mr. Roebuck and of
Sir Robert Peel have produced a great effect
upon the country, and it is now manifest that
the Palmerstonian intrigue is entirely repudiated
by all the leaders of the Liberal party.
We have reason to believe that, in the event of
a factious majority declaring itself in favour of
Mr.. Cardwell's motion, the dissolution will not,
as some suppose, be postponed till the end of the
session, but will take place immediately—that is,
as soon as a vote of money can be taken on ac-
count, for meeting the expenses of the Civil
Service. Our readers are aware that provision
has already been made for the immediate require-
ments of the naval and military departments of
the public service.
The new Parliament will probably assembly
about the 15th or 20th of July. Mr. Secretary
Walpole, it is said, will be proposed for the chair.
Mr. Denison has disappointed expectation as a
Speaker, and he will, certainly, not be re-elected.
We have taken great pains to ascertain, approzi-
mately, the result of the appeal to the country,
and after a careful consideration, we have arrived
at the following conclusion :
Supporters of the Administration 3lO
Palm e rstonians
Liberals

Total

. 654

If this be an accurate, as it is certainly an im-
partial, estimate of the strength of parties in the
new Parliament, the country will give no hesitating
answer to the question which it will have to decide,
and which was stated by Mr. Roebuck the other
night, "Shall we hasten to restore to power the
Government which we have just cashiered,
because they tampered with the honour of
England I"

We have every confidence in the verdict of our
fellow-countrymen ; and, although we are to be
deprived of the services of sham-liberal states-
men, we are in no way appalled at the prospect,
but shall rejoice heartily at one result of the dis-
solution, which will give Messrs. Gibson, Bright,
and Roebuck, a following of upwards of 100 mem.
bets, who will not allow themselves to be degraded
by submission to the bidding of Hay ter.

FASUIONABLE MOVEMENTS.

" In the name of the Prophet—Flea !"

Well to know, it is behoving,
Where each Mr. Smith is moving.
Used up, like exploded cracker,
Mont Blanc having naught to back her,
Done" each hackneyed route and line-ah !

Albert Smith is off to China.
But another Smith we know—
Some have wished at Jericho—
Now, where bores and knaves should be,
Sent MM. con. to Coventry.

ST. JAMES'S HALL.

The Vocal Association, who have achieved so
many successes at the opening of their musical
campaign, will give another concert on Friday
evening next at St. James's Hall. The convenient
central position of this hall, added to its adaptation
to musical performances, and the comfortable
arrangements for the audience, render it one of the
favourite places of resort for the musical public.
The large audiences who have attended the former
concerts of this association testify to the general
appreciation of the excellence and variety of the
entertainments provided, and the judicious superin-
tendence of the arrangements. The names of the
performers, on Friday night, promise a musical
treat. Herr Pischek, who has been absent from
London for two seasons, will make his re-appear_
ance, and as he has already arrived in London
there can be no cause to fear a disappointment.
Madame Amadei, the well-known contralto singer,
will also be among the vocalists, and the presence of
the Orpheus Glee Union, and the Vocal Association,
promise the satisfactory performance of madrigals
and part-songs. Prominent among the instru-
i mentalists we find the name of Herr Joachim, an
I irresistible attraction to all who have had tin plea-
' sure of hearing the accomplished violinist. The
variety of the performers, and the skilful arrange-
ment of the concert, prevent any weariness, and
we have no doubt that a large and cultivated audi-
ence will gladly avail themselves of the advantages
offered them.
