very nearly balanced that it is quite

The wings and radicals and any thing arians can
only command majority to about this amount over
the tories 1t is therefore confidently expected that
ere long dissolution of parliament must take place
when il is believed that the tories must of necessity
come into power, however unpaatable il may be to
the Queen Hor majesty and her royal spouse,
Prince Albert, seem to jog along like most other
married persons. The prince is said to be very
amiable, coed sort of man, and not disposed med
die in public affairs in fact his regnal controller is
of too high metle to allow him to Interfere in any
matters but those of domestic nature. IL has some
| how leaked out Of the palace, that little time
since, when the Queen and her party were going TO
take drive, that the prince kept her waiting a
short time; she bounced back into the room to
certain the cause, when she was informed that some
part Of the dress of Of the ladies in waiting had
hitched in the princes epaulette, upon which the
great soul Of her little majesty sweled such an
extent that il with difficulty she could be made
to believe that all was right The veteran warrior,
the Duke Of Wellington, is new more adored by all
than and wherever he goes he meets the hearty
cheers of his countrymen.
Since the excess of rain during the winter, we
have had fine dry weather, which has enabled the
husbandman to put in his crops; and the spring is
budding forth in all that beauty with which nature
we are looking forward to plentiful crops Of fruit
and corn. The railway from this city to Lon
don will cost upwards of five millions it is
progressing with great rapidity, and will be
go from Bristol to London, distance of 40 miles,
in about nine hours; thirty seven continuous miles

to Bath will be finished, which will reduce the Pc
riod for going to the metropolis, eight hours. The

There is an epidemic among the cattle of this
country; the disease is similar to the influenza
among horses; in some animals it commences in
the mouth, and in others stiffness in the legs is
first perceived, if treadng upon thorns and bri
ars then follows discharge Of saliva from the
mouth, and champing ofthe lips, ccompanied with
blisters on the tongue palate, and lps the blisers

BRISTOL, April, Is, 1910. :
The smaness of the ministerial majority in the
House of Commons on Thursday last the policy
of the threatened against China is still the sub
ject of much comment. Had the majority been
against the Government, their resignation of office
would certainly have taken place ere this; but as
they have held their places, after divisions even less
the reins of government.
The Easter holidays are approaching, and during
the short recess which will commence on the ad-
journment Of the Houses tonight, Cabinet Councils
will be held, and the line Of conduct which Minis
tiers mean to pursue, marked out. There is a very
general opinion ahoat that they will "appeal to the
country" by dissolution, in the hope of increasing
the number Of their supporters the House of Com
mons. Should the experiment fail, they will have
no alternative but to resign Office in favor Of the
when a mixed administration Of Wings and Radi-
Gals would be able to conduct the public affairs of
the country.
The Court are about to move to Windsor Castle
for the Easter holidays and probably, il the
that the Queen is encente be well founded, her ma
iesty will pass much Of the summer there.
The monetary affairs OF the country by
means in a settled state; and the assistance which
Ministers will require, in the depressed state Of the
revenue he expenditure for the last year exceeded
the receipts by million and a half sterngD to-
gether with the expectations Of bullion exchange
for grain, circumstances not very likely to pro
mote an Improvement.
Trade also is very languid, with immediate
prospect of revival In almost every town in the
kingdom the tradesmen suffering more less,
from the effects Of rail road speculation When lit
tie more than the deposit paid upon shares, and
transfers frequent and profitable, many became
large holders; and that T0 or ESQ per share is
called up, they find their legitimate par
lyzed by the drain Of their capital which those
productive securities occasion.
Happily, the late unfavorable winter has been sue
ceeded by most delightful March and April. Ma
ture is putting on her gayest mantle, and the hus
bandman is busy in the fields. The prospect of a
good harvest will have the best effect.
Yours &c. G. M.
