| The BRrxIsH MlBIsrRY.--The Chancellor OF
the Exchequer budget il regarded as having
hastened q ministerial catastrophe. On Tuesday
there was count out Ia the Commons, and on
Wednesday the attendance was limited that
discussion was not provoked, and less than two
hours permitted Oh adjournment. On Thursday
evening the ministers were left in the minority
on Mr.. Lock Kings motion for extending the
ten pound franchise from boroughs to counties.
Lord John Russell met the question by the
strange objection that the forty shilling free
holders who are in the department. would be
swamped by the ten pound voters. lie added,
however, that the reform act needed reform, ana
that next year the ministers would bring in
bill with that object. This promise did not pre-
vent the House from going to division, IN
which there were ten to one against the minis
ters.
HousE OF CoMmoNs--At four o'clock the
Speaker took the chair when number Of Pc
ttions were presented On the question being
put to 90 into Committee on Ways and Means,
Sir G. Hall asked whether the payment Of the
newly proposed house tax would be necessary
as a qualification for voter, as in the case OF
the assessed taxes Lord John Russell said he
was unable to answer the question. He could
only say that no new qualification was intended.
PosTPosEMENT OF THE BUDGET.--On the Or
der OF the day being announced for going into
Committee on Ways and Means for the eonsid-
Grafton Of the chancellor of the exchequers
statement, the House being extremely full, Lord
John Russell, amid profound silence, said he had
to ask the House that this order of the day
might stand for Monday next, on which day he
would explain the reason for having made this
request. Hear, hear.
Mr.. Herries asked the noble lord whether her
Majestys government intended positively to
bring on this order on Monday. Lord John
Russell said he was unable to give a positive
answer. He would only promise, on Monday
night to state the reason for the request he had
just made to the House No further discussion
took place, and the House immediately rose-it
being seventeen minutes to six O'clock.
| RESIGNATION OF MINIsTERs-S the above
was in type, we have received from special
source, by telegraph, the following important
communication "The Budget has been with
drawn, and it is reported confdentially about the
House of Parliament that the Chancellor of the
Exchequer has resigned; that Lord John Rus
sell, it is understood, has also rendered his resig-
nation; and that Sir James Graham, at the Pre-
mier's suggestion, has been sent for. The
greatest excitement prevails, and rumor with
her thousand tongues announces all kinds OF
dubious reports"
From the Times Leading Article.
i Lord John Russell has rendered his resgna-
ton to Her Majesty, and only holds the office
until another government can be formed. The
extensive loss of parliamentary confidence, or
rather parliamentary sympathy, which his lord
ship and colleagues have evidently suffered OF
late, has probably prepared most of our readers
for this result.
