THE DIFFICULTIES OF THE MINIS
TRY.-Lord John Russell and Lord Colenham,
al The cabinet council on Wednesday, urged ear
nestly the constitutional necessity for an carly
session of Parliament, before Christmas, not only
10 obtain an act Of indemnity for Lord Blessbo-
10 obtain parliamentary sanction for the reduc-
ton of The Is. duty on imported grain. The
council broke up without coming 10 any definite
resolution.

adheren,s, and thus depriving the cabinet OF lis
principal support. II is no, only on the side
OF Ireland that there are such difficulties threat
enins The administration al The assembling OF
Parliament, whether early or late.
