At the moment write England is still without a
Ministry.
The man of the situation" to use a French express
sion, is Lord Pamerston. have on one or two occa-
sions stated my conviction that Palmerston was the
most popular in England and that he would sooner
or later, be Prime Minister.
The immense majority Mr. Roe5uck's motion for
committee Of inquiry into the management, rather

boIQne Lord Aberdeen formally announced it to the
House Of Lords last night and Palmerston announced 1t
IN the Commons The majority against ministers Mr..
Roebuck's motion 157. Now, when it is con-
sidered that this motion and its consequent vote was
not the offspring of opposition Vaccinations but the
legitimate child Of indignant bile opinion aroused
by the suengs OF our army in the Crmea, the impor-
tance which must be attached to is very great The
received in silence 1t regarded by many as
the FIRST blow struck by the hand of the people against
system of government Public opinion represented
in the press by the Times, found mouthpiece in Roe
buck and the government fell like house built Of cards.
At the first breath.
The ques ton now is who is be Prime Ministers As
Ihave ready said, there is but who enjoys
the confidence Of the people, and that is Palmers-
Ssn but there is such split among parties that he will
find 1t difficult TO form ministry Moreover he is not
favorte at Windsor The nation also will not be satisfied
unless he is Minister of War.
On Aberdeen's sisnation the Queen sent for Lord
Derby, but he has not been able form ministry,
though he had long interview with Palmsrston after
having the Palace. believe he offered him the War
sfRce but Palssrston declined to servo under him.
Earl Grey would make good War Minister, with Pal
nerstcn AZ Premier, Gladstone In the Echequer-and

eyes as under secretaries
