Are you enabled TO inform the Public how the
Virginia Delegation in Congress divided between
Barbour and Van Buren?"
Our correspondent should have addressed his
question to our venerable contemporary whose Pa
lace Correspondents have doubt informed him
how matters stand, and who has so much better
opportunity of knowing the private sentiments of
the Republican party than ourselves. What we
know is from ino6tciat sources, and the s'Napo-
leon of the Turf" says, may not be 'reliable" but
such as it is we lay it before our friend.
Our Senators, Mcssrs. Tazewell s. Tyler, are al
lodged to be warmly and infexibly opposed to the
little gentleman from Undertook. 1t is shrewdly
suspected that if inclination had been consulted
they would have united in his recall from ST. James

There seems no ground for serious doubt that n
Carolina will vote for Judge Barbour by very
decided majority. Georgia exhibits many signs OF
late of similar inclination. South Carolina
certainly will, and most probably Alabama and
Mississippi. Virginia's first prediction was
unequivocally that way. Superior management

Ut The news from London, give to-day by
the John 81 Edward at New York. though only ~
hours later, is highly important. Earl Grey, and
tho whole of the late Ministry, have been rensta.
ted. Vi course the King must have yielded, and
consented to creation of Peers sufficient to carry
the Reform Bill through the House of Lords.
This covering of Majesty to public opinion,
may be considered one of the fruits of the late
French Revolution. The Three Days, and the fate
OF Charles x, no doubt had their influence in
causing William to tremble On his Throne, at the
manifestation of public opinion in Britain, and to
hasten to shape his in accordance with that
opinion. Thus have the People gained another
great triumph over those who have protested to de-
rive power from another source than the true foun

triumph VIII not be lost on, abused by SO en-
