oppose the details of the bill.

MORE SECESSIONS FROM THE MINISTRY.—The Globe

addition to Lord Lonadale, the Earl of Liverpo, 1 and the
Marquis of Exeter have determined to resign their situa-
tions, and vote against the Maynooth Bill is the House
of Lords. The Earl of Lansdale is Postmaster-General ;
the Earl of Liverpool, Lord Steward of the Household ;
and the Marquis of Exeter holds the chief office in Prince
Albert's Household." The Standard attempts a contra.
diction, which, however, only goes to the extent of say-
ing that at present " no such itatmation Las been given
by the noblemen alluded to."
