Of the whole Of the arrangements Of the last session
OF Parliament respecting the railway bills left pend
ing being upset by dissolution
Most gratifying is the assurance which we are
able to offer to our friends, that Notwithstanding
those differences which rendered dissolution OF the
cabinet unavoidable, there is not the slightest dan
ger OF any schsm In the great conservative party or
of any desertion from 1t. The whole OF the cabinet
retires without shade of personal hostility among
its members, or any difference of sentiment upon
the proper policy, except upon the one question Of
repeal, or rather modification, OF the corn laws
Upon this question: too, the difference is much less
than has been supposed. II is, we believe, true that
Sir Robert Peel has even insisted upon considera-
bic relaxation OF the laws In question, to be accom-
panied, however, bya compensation to the agrcul-
tural Observation-Disclosures, farmers, and farm la
borers-not only adequate, but ample. What this
compensation s,we not able to guess the events,
however, have proved that it was not considered
sufficient by the whole cabinet; and we must at
present agree with the dissenllents. Nevertheless,
it is certain that Sir Robert Peel will support no
measure of repeal upon any other terms than those
OF what he considers an adequate compensation to
the agricuturast so that unless the new ministers
proposed such an adequate compensation, they will
find themselves opposed by the conservative msJo-
rity of more than one hundred, undiminished by
single unit, and reinforced, no doubt, BY many
honest wings like Mr.: Cayley. Even it they have
recourse to dissolution, they are more likely to
loose than TO gain, but they must gain more than
fifty seats to replace themselves in their glorious
majority OF one, and 1t is perfectly impossible that
they gain the half of fifty. gain OF one hun
dred votes will be necessary to raise them TO the
position from which Sir Robert Peel's government
retlres So much tor conservative prospects,
From the London Post, Dec. l2l
On Wednesday last, at the council that assembled
at Osborne House, Sir Robert Peel and every men,
Der of his cabinet rendered the resignation Of their
respective offices, and these designations her Ma

The Queen has since entrusted TO Lord John Rus

We believe that Sir Robert Peel feels delighted at

From the London Post, Dec. l2l
What may be the tactics Of the new Ministry
seems matter Of considerable dubation with the
political public. A dissolution OF Parliament was
the first thing that suggested itself to peoples minds,
as the present House OF Commons could hardly be
expected TO furnish. the Wings with working ma
orty but against this measure i is urged that the
must necessarily follow on dissolution. The lock-
ing-up for so many weeks, Of the capital deposited
by projected railway companies, is mentioned as one
point deserving OF careful consideration; and ano-
her 10, that many railway bills that were not finish
ed last session, must be brought forward de in
the new parliament, instead Of being taken up the
stage IN which they were left at the period OF proro-
CATION IN August. This, il is argued, would not
only be cruel infection of expense on the compa-
MES so situated, but positive breach OF faith with
them on the part Of the Government and the House
