! From the London Tines
! Most gratifying is the assurance which we
are able to offer to our friends, that notwith-.
standing those difficulties which render dis
solution of the cabinet unavoidable, there is not
the slightest danger Of any scism in the great
conservative party, or ofany desertion from it.
The whole of the cabinet rctrcs without Il
shade of personal hostility among its members,
or any difference of sentiment upon the proper
policy, except upon the one question OF a re-
peal, or rather modification, of the corn laws
Upon this question, too, the difference is much
less than has heen supposed. tits, we believe,
true that Sir Robert Peel has even insisted up
on considerable relaxation of the laws in
question, TO be accompanied, however, by a
compensation to the agricultural interests
landowners, farmers, and farm laborcrs-not
only adequate but ample. What this conpen-
saton is, we are not able to guess; the events
however, have proved that 1t was not consd-
cred sufficient by the whole cabinet; and we
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 agrcuturists; so
that unless the new ministers proposed such an
adequate compensation, they will find them
selves opposed by the conservative majority of
more than one hundred, undiminished by sill
gle unit, and reinforced, no doubt, by many
| honest wings like Mr.. Cayley Even if they
have recourse to dissolution, they are more
likely to loose than to gain, but they must
gain more, than fifty seats to replace them
selves in their glorious majority of one, and
it is perfectly impossible that they can gain
the half of fifty. A gain of one hundred
votes will be necessary to raise them to the
position from which Sir Robert PeeI's govern
ment retires-sO much for conservative pros
poets.

Of the precise result OF Lord john Rus.
SELLS visit to Osborne House, little or nothing
has yet TRANSFERRED. Various rumors are Of
course ttoat; but knowing hat upon those
! points Ia which our readers are most DESTROYS
of being informed, nothing can at present be
known, we RETAIN from ewing hem curren-

with confidence. We have reason TO be icye
which a single elauce assured him must inc
vitality beset his patti, Lord J. Rus ell ,bcyed
the summons of her Majesty with a deteim-
nation TO allow no consideration of a merely
party nature TO interfere with or limit the
tender OF his services TO her Majesty and the
country at Tie present juno ure.
= Whatever articles are now interposed in the
way Of zeal settlement Of the corn low
question must come from his opponents If
the House Of Lords should at the in.liga,iun
of any portion of the late cabinet, place itself
in opposition To the course deemed advisable
by Lord John and those who may be prepar-
ed to act with him, The responsibility will be
cast without reserve upon the right shoulders
This Will OF course result in direct appeal
to the sense Of The country; of the result Of
which we can, in the present state Of af'4rs
