Both Houses of Parliament were occupied in the
sitt of the 18th March, the distress of the
try. Among the speeches delivered those of the
Duke of Richmond and Mr.. Huskisscn were the most
distinguished. In the House of Lords the Duke of
Richnonds motion for select committee to inquire
into the internal state of the country, was lost, by
vote of 81 to l4I.
Stale If TIude.-We happy to be able to con-
ti:n, in the fullest manner, the accounts gave of
the impyoyrHept in the state of trade three weeks
ugo. Since1 hat period there has been very large
business constantly doing i'll manufactured goods the
chief descrp9ns of which have moro less advan-
ced in price, The general opinion seems to be that
stocks gre lighter then thoy have been for
raj years, and that have every prospect of at least
fair spring trade. Notwithstanding, also, the state
mcnts which the gentlemen, whose theory it Is that
the country s going 10 ruin, make, 20 the immense
loss at which OR foreign bust ness is done, find
that merchants still very far from being tired of
bearing it, There is very extensive demand for cot
ton manufactured goods. The unusually late con-
tnuance of the stoppage Of the Ebe from FROST has
provemcnt that goods have cXperienccd but al active
purchase of them is not at all likely to be much longer

rutes there were 4oI members present, gel of whom

naming two, Messrs. Allent and Bacot de Romans,
being councillors of State, declined to vote. The
minority against Ministers therefore exactly forty
What may be the result of this proceeding it is en-
tremely difficult to say Before this trial of strength
the ministerial calculation is said to have been that
there were 295 Deputies unfriendy to the existing
order of things, that there go who would vote
address decidedly hostile to the Ministry, but that
not than 1875 would go so far Us to refuse the
budget, and the general impression appears be that
any hint gentle than tho absolute refusal of the
supplies, will be totally disregarded by the party in
power Some say that the deputatiop appointed to
present the address will not be received at the Tu-
leries; and in confirmation of this idca it is stated
that when the Deputies were about TO proceed last
night to the appointments; Of the deputatio the Prince
de Polignac allowed expression to escape him in
which this resolution was plainly intirnaed. Should
this statement be well founded immediate dssolu-
ton may be expected, and there many we-iufor-
med individuals who think it likely to appear in the
course of the day.
ain the Ministerial minority last night there were
forty individuals belonging to the right CENTRE who
are known to be influenced by Messrs. Martionac ard
de Beleymc; and it is with many matter of surprise
that after the deduction Of this party the majority
should be so great as 1t has proved TO be- Had the
address been more gently expressed the minority
would probably have been legs than it by these forty
votes but the committee entrusted with its prepara
ton understood to have preferred srtonr address
with a small majority, rather than weak address
with large majority. Many of the Opposition
Members complain, with some show of reason of the
etiquette observed in communicating the report of the
Committee to the Ministers, and their adherents two
days before the debate, who were thus enabled to
prepare themselves oppose it. while the Opposition
Members knew nothing of its contents until it was
read by the President a. the commencement of the
discussion. The Liberal party, however are evident

such reasoning that of NJ. Berger the great oracle
of the cote dyoit, might be safely disregarded
gravey contends that the object Of the address being
to procure the dismissal of the Ministry it nfers an
the King of having made bad choice! The fra
ners of the address appear to have anticipated this
]iue OF argument, it does not contain any
direct application for the dismissal Of the Ministry
but only declaration that his Majesty's servants do
not possess the confidence Of the representatives of
the people; and NJ Benjamin Constant is reported to
have said-'We usurp nothing; the King remains in
