Peaches have been wholly killed in the bud in

Of the favored spots In this not only is there a

but that they have ADVISED the Queen to dissolve

some unforeseen dAiouly arises to reiard the pas

Elected il 1852 under the auspices of Lord Derby,
the Tory Prime Minister, the present (the fourth

the Seplennisl Act, expire until August 1859; but
for the list Thirty years, no Parliament has been

thss always been the practice in England, for
Ministers whose policy or conduct has been n
demred by majority Of the representatives. of the
people, to resign their Offices, and leave it their
opponents, who are supposed to possess greater
share Of public confidence, to form new Cabinet
and carry on the business of the country Lord
Palmerslon thinks, however, that be is justified in
departing from that course, because, although the
vote on the 81 inst seemed ceusurs Of the Gov
ernment, yet on a more important question (tbe
Budget and on the Chinese question, in the House
of Peers, his Administration was supported by
large msjorties; because be has beea assured by
several members who voted il favor Of Mr. Cob
dens resolutions that their vote on that occasion
was not to be considered as implying want of
confidence in her Mi sty's Government, and be-
cause he does not believe that any government
formed out of the combination of parties which
had concurred in that vote, could coDdlct the az
fairs Of nation, or represent truly the wishes of
