 In many papers wise speculations are enter ed into in relation to inc resignation of seven of the principal ministers of the British Cabi net-the causes of such resignation, and the probable consequences which may grow out of the measure. The most rational one which we have seen stated is, that Mir. Can ming, the newly elected Premier, does not possess by birth, noble blood, although all seem willing to acknowledge that he possesses ccr- tain qualifcations-Nhether the consequences of patrician or a plebian birth we know not
 ;nb T,u khn Ao1 nrl of his noble opponents. Mir. Canning is, and we presume vii! continue to be, supported in his now and responsible station, not only by the crown, but by the mass ofthe English na- ton.

 The new title of Mr. Robinson IS Lord Strathearn.

Un- der these circumstances very little, as yet has been collected to constitute fund for divi dend among the creditors of the bank. The agents have not deemed it advisable to avail themselves of the provisions of the act of 1926 which authorizes the superior court to limit the time ofexhibiting claims, and to declare a dividend thereon, believing that the interests 1.-the creditors would be thereby promoted.
