The News from Europe.


The News from Europe.
We this morning publish full abstract
of the news brought by the steamer Pacific
which will reach here this morning, after a
very good passage of eleven days and a half
Tb;snews was obtained as she was passing off
Halifax, by the News schooner employed in
cruising for that purpose by the Associated
Press of this City, and was taken to Hall
fax and telegraphed to New-York. But for
a arrangement of the wires we should have
received the entire dispatch on Saturday; as
Il was we published in the regular evening
editions of The Tribme-to the surprise Of
the business and other circles-the leading
features ofthe markets, and the most impor-
tant item of political intelligence, namely,
the defeat of the British Ministry. This is
a successful piece of newspaper enterprise
with which we think the parties engaged,
as well as the public, have reason to be sat
isfied. Those parties are the Courier and
ENQUIRER, Journal Of Commerce, Express,
San, Herald, and Tribune. The arrange
ment, which has just been put into operation,
will be continued, and hereafter the news
of the Collins steamers will, except in ex-
traordinary cases, reach New-York in this
way.
The Wing Ministry in England have been
defeated very thoroughly, but experience
teaches that they may still continue to hold
Office. 1t is certainly much to be desired
that they should 60 out. In office, they
pursue shutting, halfway line Of con-
duct, which not only does nothing for the
welfare of the people, but prevents any
thing from being done, and maintains old
abuses with an efficiency that the genuine
old fogy Conservatives cannot hope to at
tain. Out of Office, the exigencies of oppo-
sition compel them to aid the movement of
practical reform, and then they are en-
dowed with usefulness not their own, but
none the less real and efficient. But as
we said, it is far from certain that they will
now resign. The difficulty is in finding
successors for them. They have, perhaps,
at this moment larger support in Parlia-
ment and in the country than any other
party. Politics are just now in state of
seme confusion in England as well as in
other countries. Still it is impossible that
the present Ministers should continue to
hold power long against such shocks as
those they have lately had to suffer. When
they do 90, we do not see how their places
can be taken and held by any other than a
Tory Government. 1t is the Tories who are
crowding them SO badly about the Greek
business, and who are greatly favored by
the pressure from Paris and st. Petersburg
relative to that matter. A short time must
settle whether the change takes place now
or later; take place it must at some time
not far off.
The Greek question, which serves as the
theme for so much talk, remains as before,
mere diplomatic affair, and we presume will
never be more than that 1t will be settled
without serious trouble.
The Special Committee Of the French AS
sembly have rejected the bill to increase the
Presidents already too large salary. This
is good symptom, though it does not make
1t certain that that measure will not pass
the Assembly when brought before it. Still
the majority, though ready to adopt any
step of practical tyranny which the Minis
tiers may propose, are not so much affected
by personal love for Louis Napoleon as to
obey all his wishes. They may therefore
concur with the Committee and send him
home to the Elysee with flea in his ear.
From Germany there is news of coming
resumption of the war in Schleswig HolS-
tein. This is quite likely.
