lecture what will take place in England before this
day week IL is now half past seven o'clock on |
Saturday morning, that in announcing the majority
of fl against The Bin. we make these REMARKS on
what we will not still call the fatal issue of the
measure. The death woUud 10 the con titut:ou OF
lic country, to the peoples rights, TO free repre-
@cn!atou III Parliament, has been aimed, has been
struck: lint still feel confident that national
Ehory will not expire under the wound: we s,ih
hope that there suhsisls III the hearts OF English
men Il strength and Il resolution which will enable
them 10 OutiIvc the blow. There is iainting, no
irrcSou,ion but, on the contrary, far time
will permit MS to observe, unboundcd discrimination

THIS day, the very day on which the division,
bnt 10" p0iniils anticipates took place, meeting
almost contenporancous will I've held Of all tho
Members VIII" voted for the peoples Bill in the
Commons. With equal prompi,uir, the Common
! Councils "C the city Of london meet to-day, and
thc Merchants and Bankers, believe, on Mon
day. and under the support o.. the whole ratio::,
the Ming and his ministers will net fear to do
their duty. The greater the minority against the
Bill the greater necessity there is for accession
to that body (in which thc majority. has been

United Empire.

Lord Grey, in respect OF the Reform question, the
same game by which, in 1898 and 1899, he tri-
un,phcd over the old and consistent advocate of
Catholic emanCip1tion.-Nc believe IL not.
Whatever may have bcen-and we pretend not to
gucss-thc party designs o.. his Grace three days
ago, it is now impossible to carry into execution
any scheme for reSurning the reigns Of government
There is no change in Ministry-tllo rats may as
sure themselves of tat.-Iimes.
Thank God, there ways by which the nvu-
dcrs OF the rights and properties of the people
be managed. When House OF Commons leaves the
Government and the naton-the remedy is disso-
luton. When the House OF Lords stands out
against the King and the nation, the remedy is
fresh creation of Peers. Without this remedy the
Constitution would fall 10 pieces and the people
! would he left Il prey 10 anarchy. On Monday Lord
Ebr!ngton brings motion on the state OF Public
affairs in the House of Commons. The result of
that vote may, of course he anticipated. II will
place the two Houses i'll collision, and Minister'S
must either resign create Peers to get over
the difficulty. Lord Grey has soemnlv stated that
he will stand fall by this bill, and that nothing
less efficient shall he supported by HIM Fellow
Countrymcn--ct us he finn-let us he prudcnt, that
We may ensure tho victory which must be ours
with wisdom. The opponents of the Bill are play
ing desperate gamc-But if we he firm Il nd de-
tcrmince thcy mu.t be defeated. -Chronic!c.
Some Member of the opposition, anticipating
the numerical triumph of his party, this morning,
called to the Minister 10 resign, ana the challenge
produced an answer which is the omen of complete
success. The Minister will not resign and the Op-
position must he beaten We say must be bcate,
for, only let the same Bill be introduced, and
see i! the people of this country do rally round
the King and his ministers in way that shall
set marx upon the pcsent Opposition, by which
1t shall! be known from all the OpPositions that
lever existed in England.-HeraId.
The confidence which the monicd people not IN
Justly feel III the King and his Ministers is shown
by the fact that there WAS hut Slight variation in
the Funds, this morning, on tho news of the Lords
division. The confidence of the people VII be
Justified. The King arW be firm. The country
will be saved.-G!o6e.
We have, Of course, many rumours TO the
future proceedings of the Ministers: none of whic!
can, however be relied upon. The most current
are that Ministry i'll he formed with the Duke
of Richmond at the bead, Earl Grey, Lord Al
throp, and Lord Palmerston retiring from Office
and mere moderate Reform Bill to be introduced
by them; and another is that the King has dc.crmi
ned immediately to proroguo Parliament, and t,
create new Peers TO the number of sixty, amongs
whom will he the eldest sons of Peers who are "a
vourablc TO the present Bill.-Conrier.
immediately alter The division this morning or
dcrs were issued to prepare the House of Lord ol
the reception Of his Majesty, and it was very rene
rally believed that Parliament would be prororuct
this day. 1t is, however, not probable that the pro
rogation will take place until Thursday next ever
