pie Of the Parliamentary proceedings Lord
John, it appears, agreed with Count Buol and
NJ Drouyn de pHuys in regarding the Russian
proposals at Vienna as satisfactory, and was
for patching up peace on their basis. In this
the Cabinet at Westminster differeds with him,
and directed him to reject them. He returns
home, and, unlike Drouyn de pHuys who re-
signed because the Emperor would not make
peace, inaugurates his return to the House by
fiery war speech, proving conclusively that
the Russian proposals were out of the ques-
ton, and that he would have been insane
to agree to them. OF course this proves
Lord John to be what people with good
memories have always considered him
a political rogue. In the impending crash Of
the empire, however, Lord John Russelps cha
racter would hardly appear at this distance
matter of enough Importance to engross the at
tendon Of the legislative body. Yet Parlia-
ment has nothing better to do than to waste
hour after hour in personal discussions about
this foolish lord, and the great question of the
day appears to be whether or no he deserves
seat in the ministry.
1t il quite plain that the Palmerston admins
tration are about to fall. Lord.P almers.on
took office, it will be remembered, when the
public were exasperated with Aberdeen's imba.
cility he was chosen from belief that
his superior energy would improve the

to the army Now, it is manifest that
SO far from justifying this expectation,
every department of the public service is in a
worse condition than before, and, though he
has certainly expended far more money, and
drawn rom England more men than his prede-
oc the net successes he has achieved are
nc greater than Aberdeen's and the great
object of the war is as far off as ever. This is
well understood in England /; and it appears
quite certain, judging from our information,
that he will be overthrow, either upon this
personal question relating to Lord John Rus
sell, or upon the more radical motion of Mr..
Roebuck. The next mail will probably bring
us news Of a ministerial crisis and change of
ministry in England.
So far as trade is concerned, the prospects
are the same as by last mail Cotton is
dull. Breadstuffs were firm in consequence Of
temporary dim;nution in the supply; but the
tendency was downward. Business was very
dull; no new enterprises were being proposed;
the old ones were prosecuted on the most
restricted scale; and consequently money was
still idle. Coin, however, continued to flow
across the Channel. The Bank of England had
lost couple Of millions; and e7OO, 900 in spe-
Gle had been exported during the week. The
prospect of an issue Of Exchequer bills was ear
nestly canvassed.
