| LONDON, SEPTEMBER %, 1852.
Almost every day brings with il additional rumors
and additional symptoms Of the approach Of what,
on the continent Of Europe, is called Ministerial
crisis; and we should be more inclined to believe
these rumors, and rely upon these symptoms, if we
could see how-by any modelling combining
present political partes-any Ministry could be
formed which should succeed the present one with
any chance Of carrying with it the confidence Of the
country in greater degree than Lord DERBY and
his colleagues do The leading independent Libe-
rails in the House of Commons are said 20 have come
to distinct understanding among themselves that
they will never again, under any circumstances,
knowledge Lord JOHN RUSSELL as their leader.
majority of the Irish Liberals viii not fall into
the ranks of either Lord DERBY or Lord JOHN, and
declare themselves in favor of Sir JAMES GRAHAM their
most available leader. Thus is the opposition Lord
DERBY broken into three sections and although they
will probably unite to Dust his party, they be
made to combine in support Of any other the old Wings
will only support the head Of that party the Irish party
prefer Sir JAMES GRAHAM and the Independent Liberals
would probably rather support Sir JAMES than Lord JONI
RUSSELL; but they have most likely, favorite Of
their own party The Liberals attribute to Lord John
the entire blame Of the Derby party being present in
power and openly state that were the former now to
forward with professions of the popular kind
it would not in the slightest degree, shake their deter
mination to have any thing to do with him.
Again further division may be expected in the Oppo
sition ranks from the devotion of small number
of members to Lord PALMERsToS and who consider that
the latter rudey elected from office by Lord JOHN
RUSSELL to crafty personal feeling of the QUEEN and
Prince ALBERT but in the of Courts
and Cabinets and do presume to NEEDLE with such
high matters. We merely tell the tale it was told
to u.s. One thing certain, the late Opposition hydra
headed and very much doubt whether any
administration be formed out of it. But is the Derby
party in possession of that union which gives strength
We are told not and that at least three sections may
be found on the Ministerial side of the House Lord
Derby and very large majority of the party disposed
to abandon seeking for protectonat least of grainby
the re-imposton of the corn laws. Mr. CHRIsTopHER
and the agricultural party of Lincolnshire, Kent and
Essex pledged to their constituents to restore the
corn laws, and Mr.. DIsRAEL is pledged to himself to
take care of himself Here, them is "a house divided
against itself" But there is third party not formi-
dable as to numbers, but yet apowerfu the two
larger sections Of the House united in themselves
much this smaller party would then hold the balance
and be enabled to determine the result aude the
personal friends of the late Sir Robert Peel and that

rails and Irish members in eecng the Derby DIsrael

afterwards lend hand in placing any section of the
Opposition in power The Peeites, as they exhibit
themselves in the columns of their organ the Morn

them, and often anus of personal antagonism, kept
within the bounds of political good breeding which fire.

We hear it asserted that the most stringent Paramen

atve to the system of terrorism carried the Priests
at the late elections in Ireland to the return of
their candidates 1t is said be undoubted fact that
forty fifty members have been returned simply by the
influence of prestcra and that those members acknow-

Stringent reported to be in contemplation

The question of the day Of the birth Of the late Duke
has been settled by the publication of letter from his
mother the late Countess of MoRSISGroN dated April g.
1876 in which she says: "My son. the Duke of Yelling

birth is yet undecided 1t until late Saturday

found at Coutts Bank; it is dated far back as
1873 The contents are Of course yet undscosed Dur
late years he had given directions for several wills to
be prepared yet made up his mind to sign any Of
them. Those who knew him best say that he always
avoided the subject of his DEATH and the arrange
