government, with the support and confidence
Of the House. The majority on the bill wa
only five.

Queen; and her Majesty Immediately sum
Inoned the Duke of Wellington, and placed
in his hands the formation of a new adnlnls
iration. Al the suggestion OF his Grace, who
advised that the premier should be- selected
from the House Of Commons, Sir Roberl

fccted. even 10 tears, when the resignatons
were rendered 10 her. and she desired that

fachcd to the Royal Household. This the
Queen positively refused, declaring that she
would rather al once become n subject thar

she had been attached from childhood.
The Times gives the names Of the ladies
whose removal was considered by Sir Il ebert
indispensable !; namely the Duchess Of Snth
