suspicion and dstrust have long been in the camp;
some murmur, some storm, many are sick, and not
/ few disguised.
What, then, is to be done /? The old wing party,
John Russell. lie has done much mischief in his
lay, but he never committed SO much upon himself,
Is he did by his recent declaration against all pro-
ective duties upon corn. Lord Morpeth has sold
himself by means OF a E5 note. The split, there
ore, In the whig ranks, between those who have
and, and those who are landless-between the
wellfed and the hungry wing, is immense, and ire
parable.
Our opinion is, judging by the obscure light in
which the detection is yet placed, that dissolution
Of Parliament must be the result, followed immedi-
ately by general election. In this case the nation
at large will be called upon to decide the great
question at issue. Much inconvenience TO many
parties must ensue. particularly to those connected
with railway bills; but we are far from believing
that the inconvenience Of delay tor SIX or eight
weeks, may not be salutary to the country gene
rally.

The New Ministry.
From tho London Sun, Dec. Ill
Immediately upon the refusal Of NE Duke Of
he had agreed to do-namely, to propose a
repeal Of the corn-laws in the House Of
Lords-it became apparent that resignation OF office
by Sill Robert Peel must follow. Lord John Rus
senger was dispatched on Saturday last to COM
mand his attendance at Osborne House. His arrival
there was expected yesterday, and Sir Robert Peel
expected to have met him. Sir Robert, however,
This morning Lord John Russell and Sir Robert
Peel had an intervl ew OF an hours duration, after
which Lord John Russell left town for Cowes He
had an audience Of her Majesty, and has returned
to town this evening, having had ful powers given
him to form Government. He has sent for Lord
Palmerston and taking, it is believed all the ne
cessary steps to form an Admin straton.
From the London Globe, Dec III
OF the precise result Of Lord John Russell's visit
to Osborne House, little or nothing has yet trans
pred. Various rumors are Of course afioat; but
knowing that upon those points on which our read
ers are most DESTROYS Of being informed, nothing
can at present be known, we refrain from giving
them currency. Upon one point, we can, however,
that, notwithstanding the manifest difficulties which
a single glance assured him must inevitably besei
his path, Lord John Russell obeyed the summons OF
her Majesty with determination to allow no con-
with or limit the tender Of his services to her Ma.
esty and the country at the present juncture What
obstacles are now interpreted In the way OF f.
nal settlement OF the corn law question must come
from his opponents If the House Of Lords should,
at the nstgation OF any portion Of the late cabinet
place itself in opposition to the course deemed adj
visabe by Lord John and those who may be pre-
pared to act with him, the responsibility will be cast
without reserve upon the right Shoulders
sense Of the country; Of the result Of which, we
can In the present state of affairs, have no doubt
The circumstances under which the Peel Cabinet
has been broken up-the state present and prospec-
tive, Of the country-and also proper considera-
t,Ov of he al off ho
conduce to urge the necessity OF speedy release
from the state OF uncertainty in which the late min
istry has leftlpubc affairs.
Il is evident that all announcements of new ar
rangements must, at present, be altogether prema-
ture. There has not been a moments time to COM
municate with the former or probable parties to
such arrangements. The crisi at which Lord
John Russell is called upon to act is Of no ordinary
nature and it is emily as he can fa ry hope to carry
the great question, which his predecessor fairly
hands over TO him to carry-that he can wisely de-
termlne to act at ALL If industry and commerce
have not overpowered the mere watchwords Of
sham Conservatism in the breasts OF all interested
breast of the late Premier himself-we had better
run the gauntlet through the line of Dukes, and
make up our minds to stimulating course OF curry
powder. That Is our alternative TO a Corn.law re-
pealing government. Is il one that c0mmends itself
to Conservative interests amongst the cutivatng or
middle classes?
Itdeserves the attention of those middle classes
that one grand governmental experiment has been
tried, and has proved failure. Sir Robert Peel
has tried the experiment of making his old party
strike into new ways. Beyond limited point, they
refuse to do SO and they turn round on him with
some show Of right, and much resentment OF for.
feited implied pledges. They thought they hired
him to keep things in statu quo. He thought he led
them to smooth necessary transitions. Hisse OF
the necessity Of those transitions has been shown by
his measures, and is sealed by his retirement; and
by his last act Of duty to his Sovereign in advising
her choice OF a successor.
From the London Standard, Dec. II.
We have nothing to communicate respecting the
formation of the new Ministry. All we know 10
that Lord John Russell arrived at Southampton this
morning at half past 10 o'clock, in the Fairy yacht
from Cowes, and departed for town by the eleven
o'clock train. Her Majesty leaves Gosport by the
quarter past ten O'Clock train tomorrow, for Farm
borough station, on her return to London.
The ministerial crisis continues to occupy the ex-
elusive attention OF all persons in the city, and all
sorts Of conectures haxarded respecting the re-
suit according to the bias Of the parties lndepen
