The Derb, Ministry su.i.im.d.
by the last steamer we have the following
intelligence in reference to the recent Min.
isteriai crisis in England
In the House Of Lords, on the 10Th of
May, the Earl Of Derby stated that the
Government had that morning received i'm
pOrtant dispatches from India, containing,
among other matters representation from
Sir james Outram as TO the severity Of the
proclamation and Lord Canning's reasons
for issuing it. The papers were being copied
and he promised that they should be in the
hands OF members OF Parliament before the
division in the other House on the same
evening.
In the House of Commons, the debate
on the vote Of censure was resumed
Lord Palmerston read extracts from the
letters addressed by Lord Canning to Yer
non Smith, explanatory OF the reasons why
the proclamation was in some parts so Sc
we're and in some so indulgent.
Mr.. Bright spoke in strong terms Of con.
domination OF Lord Canning's dispatch, and
declared that he would do nothing towards
restoring the late Government to power.
Sir james Graham, in telling speech,
declared he should most unhesitatingly vote
against the resolution, although he did not
altogether approve Of Lord EIlenborough's
dispatch.
There were numerous other speakers on
both sides Of the question when the debate
was further adjourned.
On Friday. the 2lst, in the House of
Lords, Lord Malmsbury stated he had re.
ceiyed reply from the Government of Ma.
pies in answer to the claim OF indemnity,
which he understood to be refusal, and
which he had treated as such. Within the
last two hours, however, he had received
dispatch informing him that it was not
positive refusal, but simply an argunienta.

The House Of Lords then adjourned until
the 3lst, for the Whtsun holidays.
In the House Of Commons the vote Of

and repeated calls upon Mr.. Cardwell by
the Liberal members to withdraw his reso-
luton ,hat gentleman, with the concurrence
Of Lords PaImerston and John Russell, nd

mcnts were finally withdrawn, this virtually
giving the Ministers triumph.
Mr.. Disraeli, in giving his consent TO the
withdrawal, said the resolution was ayow-
eddy brought forward as censure upon the
conduct OF the Government Ii he consent

Government shrunk from the consequences
that would follow if il were adopted
! Whatever the result might be, they looked
forward to it without apprehension, and
even now were ready to encounter the CON
sequences OF division. So far az the de.
bate was concerned, he thought he might
say that no ministry on their trial could
look back upon a discussion with greater
satisfaction. The opposition to the motion
had been maintained, not by the Admins
tration, for they had wisely and properly
withdrawn as much as possible from the
debate, but by members not connected with
the Government in politics, ard by men in
/ ferior TO none IN intellectual character and
authority.
