and in that discussion unite all the scattered fragments
she opposition into and succeeded, through
the junction of rscreant Peees with uncompomising u
tories in defeating Ministers
But the Wings have had majority OF absolute ant
reliable supporters in the House Of Peers upon strictly
party question the whole number of Peers about 450,
whom than 100 be depended upon by Ministers
OF this number 1872 voted in their support this occasion
and 90 paired of.
The third portion of the debate upon Mr.. RoEBUcKs
ton fixed for this evening, and will most likely terminate
in division. Much uncertainty is expressed by of all
parties as to the result. If Ministers defeated it will be
because they have been the Ministers Of Austria Russia
France but have acted with single eye the real inter-
OF England and the peace of the world because they
have been the friends of well regulated liberty and constiu
tona forms of Government and because Sir Robert Peel and
his party tired of being Of Office and join with Absout
Tories and Proectionsts eject from power those who
present hold it, The is confidently circulated that
this will be the result In fact oil the members who pre-
sent have spoken in opposition Mr.. RoEBucKs motion,
with the exception of Lord JoHS MANNERS have belonged
to the PEEL section of Conservatives. How Sir RoBERr
PEEL justify such course, should he take it,
imagine unless he adopt the maxim that the end ustes the
means. So nearly can classify the House of Com
mons think it contains 325 Wings, ll9 Free Trade
Conservatives and 2l2 Tory Protecons:s of all grades So
that Sir ROBERT PEELs free trade friends hold the balance
between Wings and Tories and the result is in their hands
Lord JOIN RUSSELL is said be dsgused and indignant
with the manifest intrigue and the development of the long
concoc,ed plot, that he medates himself appealing the
country upon the merits of his foreign policy, and of dissovng
Parliament forthwith, if he has but scant majority. Sir
ROBERT PEEL is said the establishment and the
maintenance OF administration by union of majority Of
the Wings with his friends supposing that any of the
supporters of the present administration amagamae with
the Proteconiss Under present circumstances do not
think that administration with Sir RoBERr PEEL at the
head OF it would command majority of any House of Com
mons which would at this time, be elected and would be
in wofu minority in the Lords. Lord ABERDEEN and Sir
Jas. GRAHAM would doubt hold office in PEEL admins
aion, but think such government they would
form could be either popular durabe would be decidedly
below the requirements of the age and the exgences of the
country. Nor could such men Lord STANLEY and Mr.
DIRAELI command the materials form such government
Even they could and obtained the direction of affairs for
short me they would revive the burning contention between
free trade in bread and agricultural projections between the
and the producers of the staff of life and wrap
country in blaze of discomfort perhaps of revolution The
contest has, however, yet be decided and are hoping
for the best although nearly every is opprehen-
sve of the worst Lord JOHN RUSSELL Speech which we
forwarded you last week. has excited great attention. and
him much praise, although the Times calls it "one of the
most empty paudes, most mschievous deances, ever
uttered by a statesman in extremity"
Lord PALMERsroN spoke for nearly five hours Tuesday
evening" and made ohe triumphant defences and
eloquent speeches which has been heard Parliament for
many years The morning papers of the day were in
dustous enough give the whole of the debate including
Lord Pamesons speech which occupied eleven and half
closely printed columns in the Times The power of
preston and condensation must be very great which enables
reporter to give satisfactory statement of speech which
took nearly five hours in delivery in such comparatively sma
space ."... ....

operations and has already caused much dissatisfaction and

little good practical upon the subject in the Lords
and Mr. LOCKE, NJ P. for Honiton, will bring forward the
business in the Commons the first open day.
About two years ago upwards of hundred members
the House Of Commons-al entirely unconnected with the
Government determined to present Lady PALMERsroN with
full length portrait of her ege Lord token of their
probation of bis character and their high of the value
of his public services This design has been fully carried out
and the portraa very fine presented her Lady

Parame twenty eight being prevented by various cir.
cumstances from attending The affair very interesting

Lord and Lady Palmerson exhibited much sensb,y on the
occasion.

The interest which the projected exhibition of 1851 excites
abroad continues and increases. We know of only one
