Such is the high standjng of the Times
such lis reputation for accuracy, that is
esseverstions, repeated Tor several days,
gained general credit. IN spite of the
equally POSITIVE contradiction Of several
other journals. The opponents OF the
Corn Laws were almost frantic with Joy,
and the excitement among all classes was
tremendous. 1t turned out, hewever,
that the announcement of the Times was
unauthorized, though that Journal sought
TO conceal its chagrin 10 view OF the fact
by language implying that some members
Of the Cabinet had altered their minds. -
The following from that paper of Dec.

From The Tunes Of Dec. 10.
We have no good reason for believing
that a day or two-perhaps the orivy
Council to be held this day at Osborne
House-wll remove all doubt of the Min
isieria determination in favor of an en-
tire repeal of the Corn Laws. II, in the
interval which has passed since our first
announcement, any members OF the Cabi.
net have felt themselves unequal TO SO
great design, and have consequently
reapsed to a more "consistent" and a
more comfortable alternative, day or
two will furnish additional testimony to
the strength Of the Ministerial resolve,
and to the difficulties which il is prepared
TO encounter, and, we trust to overcome.
Whatever requires time or admits of de.
lay admits also OF vacllaton end change.
1t is possible, and certainly quite in ac-
cordance with the history Of the greatest
affairs, The most decisive plans, and the
most settled engagements, that even a
few days may modify without subsianti
ally altering the event. Whatever form
the event may take, and whatever con-
ISOLATION any Of our mpugners may please
TO derive from the want of a more literal
iuliilment 10 our words, day or two will
place beyond oil controversy the sub
stance Of our announcement, viz: the
consent Of the Conservative leaders to an
entire repeal Of the Corn Laws.
Every body, Of course, wishes before.
