Great Western left, places every upon the tip

which the next packets expected to bring.
BY the first arrivals we shall, perhaps, gather
something of the definite intentions Of Lord Mel
bourne and Lord John RUSSELL as to their future line
OF policy; and also, whether one, both, neither
intend to continue in the Ministry; and if not, who
is to be the new Premier; for, this selection will
probably hang the fate Of England for the next hall
century. If timely concessions and more liberal
measures are not to appear under the regime or

themselves by moderate Tory accessories; and the
