HOW GOES THE DEBATE?

The house stands adjourned till Monday, and
in the present complete confusion of parties no one
can say either how long the debate will last, or
what will be the immediate consequences of the
almost inevitable Ministerial defeat. Mr. White-
side disposes very readily of Lord Palnierston's
advice to the Government to accept the resolution
and carry it out, and undertakes to answer for Go-
vernment that they will not drive the coach with
so ill-matched a pair as the resolution and their
own bill. Whether he is better informed as to the
intentions of the Government than Sir S. North-
cote does not appear. Meanwhile there has inter-
vened another incident of an almost ludicrous
character. Acting on the inspiration of his own ,
independent spirit, and anxious, apparently, to do
some deed of high emprise, Mr. Owen Stanley has
given notice of a motion of "No confidence," in
the event of Ministers attempting to accept the
resolution, and proceed with the bill in
the new sense compelled by the house. The
only possible significance of this awkward step is,
it is said, that, according to Parliamentary etiquette,
Ministers will not be able to resign without waiting
to resist such a vote. They will have to fix a day
when they will stand on their own defence and go
into the general history of their Administration, as
well as the whole question of Reform. Of course,
they have every reason to wish this. It would give
them time, if not opportunities, and they would at
least have a wider range for their defence. It is
scarcely conceivable that the great interests of the
Empire should be so much at the mercy of one
man's indiscretion ; and surely the House of Com-
mons, if it wishes—as it must wish in this ease--
may repudiate the responsibilities of Mr. Owen
Stanley's notice. But Government may possibly
take another view of the respite thus offered them,
and we must not complain if they elect to take their
trial on this new issue.—Times.
