alluded, and Il may Be Of Interest to those
Of our readers who have not already read il
in the TsS1~ae. In recent conversation |
with "A iatelligeat friend, himself an Eng

present agitation in England was not aimed

what the Tribsn<'s correspondent has to
cay on the subject

administration Is composed principally OF
the members Of three families-Howards.
Cave ndiehes and Covers, all of them rela-
ted to or in affinity with each other, and that
Cabinet Council, with the sole exception
Of Sir w. Molesworth. might be taken for

burn Abbey or Castle Howard. We might
extend this remark still further. The House
of Lords, with the exception of few law
peers, has become = family party. Earl
Granville jsstly remarked the other night
that be IL related to 50 many peers that he
sees his kin equally divided between the
supporters OF the administration and the op-
position. and many other peers may say
the same. In fact, the governing classes
