STANLEY that she should be compelled decline appointing
Mr.. D'isRAELI to that important Office Lord STANLEY
called upon Mr. DsRAELr and informed him Of her Msjes-
tvs resolution for that post had really been promised to
him. This communication was doubtless made in the most
delicate possible and soened by the offer of some
other prominent position, still like wormwood to Mr.

The great obstacle in Lord JoHs RUssELLs ministerial
is the Papal aggression. There - il is be-

favor legislative interference, Of decided cha

the Irish members either wholly opposed to all Para-

Times thinks this proposition worth consideration, as its
adoption would remove the great obstacle to coalition Min

men who possess the confidence of the liberal section Of
the Legislature" The Times, however has another recon-

Proteconss from realizing at the next election their conf

parties the session would be goover in credtabe manner
and the country would have the double tie Of eeade and
parliamentary reform to such administration.
The late crisis must have served ID convince all parties that
Parliament at present constituted, contains very few
who fit for Cabinet Minister'S This virtually
admitted by the Marquis Of LAHsDowNE but he is of the
old orthodox clique Of statesmen, who think that stasscra
requires very peculiar combination Of qualities seldom found

nascur it, Lord SrAHLEr's testimony is still more
important. His late endeavors form Administration

One the serious evils arising out Of the late pause
in public business will be the indefinite postponement de-
