Lord Canning The Earl Of 6hsftesbury in the Lords,
and Mr. Cardwell, member for the city of Oxford,
In the Commons, have given notices of motions
consuming the action OF the government, which, II

to be appeased by his self sacrifice by the Earl of
Derbys official plea Of not guilty for himself and col

his noble friend" The beliefs that Mr. Cardwels mo-
ton will be carried by large majority large that
Lord Derby will be forced to resign and not disturb the
country by general election AS it is to be expected
this state Of things has created the greatest excitement

ened policy.
The energetic and severe condemnation Of Lord Can
nng's proclamation contained in Lord Elenborough's
despatch amounts, practically, to condemnation of the
whole of Lord Cannngs policy in India and must lead
to his immediate resignation of office. In the present
critical position of affairs in British India with the rebel
lion still rampant through the northwestern provinces,

in Rohilcund aone,) change In the executive would
calculated to produce very preudlcia results and
add materially to the difficulties of the situation. In
this view of the matter many independent members of
Parliament will censure Lord Peterborough and their
votes together with those of Lord Canning many per-
sona friends and those of the followers of the outs
will probably gain the day against the tories and prove
to Lord Derby that his second term of Office has not
made him more popular than the first did.
There is further trouble in Parliament Not only have
the Commons disagreed with the Lords the atter's
amendments to the oaths BILL and restored the clause le
galzing the admission of Jews to Parliament by vote
Of 1853 to l5O but they have gone much further and de-
Der for the city of London, should be member of the
committee draw up the of the disagreement
This will probably lead to the adoption of the resolution
threatened by Sir Richard Behell declaring the Hebrew
Baron entitled to sit and vote as member for London
the will of the Lords to the contrary notwithstanding
This would produce collision between the hereditary
and popular branches of the legislature and shake most
severely the walls of that very patch edice called
the British constitution, sf5a. g I s.
The monetary intelligence from London reports the

and the danger of dissolution of Parliament, and part
