LONDON, Tuesday, March 10, 1851.
Lord Palmerston's defeatsn the coming elections
ale still the great topic of conversation and absorb
all the other political interests of the country. The
lplit in the ranks of the sO-called Liberals gives
courage to the Tories who hope to muster in greater
npmbers than ever in the next Parliament since
wherever Palmerston man is opposed to an Anti
Palmerston Liberal the Conservatives are ready to
take likewise, their chance and the advantage of u
division in the camp Of their opponents. Sill the
Cd on prevails that the Premier will be supported
by the country, though he will have to make many
a premise to the sighted Reform party, and will
even have TO redeem some Of his pledges. All ths
chiefs Of the different parties are sure to he IT,
elected but great many new members will enter
Parliament though we hear as yet of no prominent
pane, unknown in the Palace Of Westminster,
brought forward. As any contested election en-
tails costs to the amount Of from g., 900 to f1O,
600, the members are rather alarmed about their
unavoidable expenses, and oil the female world
is in despair because the season Is thus brought to
an abrupt end all gentlemen connected with
politics being obliged suddenly to leave town on
eectioneeriDg errands. Lord PalmerstOn owes
his present continuation in Office exclusively to the
advanced pregnancy of the Queen, who could not in
her present state, without serious Inconvenience,
be bored with Ministerial combinations and Cabinet
Councils; and however dsagreeabe the noble Lord
is at Windsor Castle, the alternative of the dissOlu
ton of Parliament was preferred to the trouble of
a Ministerial crisis. 1t is for the same reason that
the dissolution is postponed till after Easter, and
the meeting of the new ParliameI to the end Of
MAY, when the Queen will have sufficiently recOv-
cred for the discharge of her duties in case of
defeat of the Ministry at the election of the Speaker
As to the Continent, Lord PamerstOns defeat has
caused deep regret at the Tuieries, and at the
Court of Austria, while the King OF Naples is de-
lighted. As to Russia, we know sufficiently that
Lord PanerstOns policy has commonly served the
alan and Chinese wars, as well as at the time when
Kars was abandoned.
The conferences about Neufchstel have at last
begun, and it has been determined that the renun-
ciaton of the sovereignty by the King of Prussia is
to be the starting point Of the arrangement As to
the price the Swiss will nave TO pay it will be a re-
modelling Of their laws concerning political refu-
gees, and perhaps even those on the press. The
mediation Of France is now always accompanied
by such repressive measures and it is, therefore,
With dstrust that We hear how Napoleon offers his
good Offices TO the King q Sardinia 10 bis quarrel
with Austria. Still, it is understood that the King
has politely evaded the prOfered mediation. Ma
pOIeOn is now busy with two different plans, the
first how to allure the Pope to Paris for most
soemn coronation, and the second how to check
the gambling spirit Of France, which is concen-
tratiDg s the capital Of the country on the Ex'
change, TO the great Jeopardy of all sound com
mercial and industrial enterprises. His scheme OF
tsxrq the transfers Of stocks has been altogether
abandoned, hut we know that the Emperor often
returns 10 his abandoned plans, and he has there
fore lost in the eyes of the spectators a. Paris.
The elections approach likewise in France, aud as
tie leadlos Republicans have come to the determi-
nation 10 try their hold the masses, we may pos
SHY witness al agitation in the country reminding
us Of the days of Louis Philippe. The return of
one Republican from Paris ia nov pretty certain
though ballot-stufDg may alter al the preconceyed
ideas Of the electors.
The Emperor of Austria has Left Italy and to-
tends 10 go to Hungary in May. The authorities
are very busy preparing an enthusiastic reception
ar him, with what result will soon be seen.
DIR. Kane's death has caused sincere regret here
in England. Charles Sumner will be most cor
daily received by all classes of society. His manly
courage in the Senate Chamber and the dastardly
outrage Of which he became victim have even en-
HANGED tire high reputation he enjoyed from his
former VISIT AP.C.
