From the London Press of May 49,
The Post anticipates in the beginning Of the article
triumphant VOTE which will restore ths liberal party
office and power.
The Daily News, after remarkng that the object of
Mr. Cardwelfs motion is avowedy to drive the present
ministers from office, asks what prospect is there of
more liberal and stable ministry OF one more able and
willing to adopt generous and liberal policy.
The Star complains of the taken by of the
independent liberals whose votes will it says raise the
anticipated majority in favor Of Mr. CardwelPs motion
to 80.
The Chronicle says: The in the House Of Com
mons last night very exciting if the debate
not.
The division is not expected before Tuesday.
The Pamerston party predict majority Of 40 or so in
their favor
The Advertiser states that meeting of liberals
held yesterday The number present rs, OF whom
IA voted for motion requesting Mr.. Cardwell not to
proceed with his resolution.
The Advertiser anticipates majority Of 60 in the Com
mons.
The Times, referring to the division in the Lords last
night, says the Commons will probably take another
view of the question: and which will leave Lord Der
by other choice but to share the resignation which he
has sanctioned in his colleague.
