THE BRITISH MINISTERIAL CRISIS.
From The Lozdos Times, June Is
At an early hour on Saturday morning, the CabincS
assembled, and agreed 10 place their resignation in tbs
hand. OF the Queen This done and the fact n
the Ministerial resignation WAS formally announced
by LORD Derby al the banquet OF the Merchant Tsy-
lors Company. at which several OF the Ministers
were present. On the afternoon OF Saturday LORD
Granville received summons from the Queen to
wait upon her Majesty at Buckingham Palace
at oclook. We have reason To believe that her
Majesty, after listening to all the elections which Lerd
Granville had to offer, commanded him TO attemptto
form an Administration which should at once be strong
in ability ana Parliamentary influence, and should Ut
the same time comprehend within itself full and tar
representation of all the sections into which the LIB
eral party has uotoriously been divided.
Feelir < probably, that il might be urged as an OBJ
lection Ia Il course that Lord Granville who hes
never yet held the office OF Prime Minister, would thus
be placed in position paramount To that occupies
by Lord Palmerston and Lord John Russell. whs
had each filled the office of First Minister OF the
Crown, and led the Liberal party IN the House
of Commons Her Majesty was pleased to OBJ.
serve that she had in the first instance, turaea
bcr thoughts toward Lord Palmerston and lssre
John Russell, each of whom had served her lorg snd
faithfully in many high offices of State. Her Msjessy
felt however, that TO make 30 marked distinction a.
is implsed in the choice OF one or other as rflms
Minister of statesmen full OF years and honors.
ard possessing so Just claim on the conslderaiioe
Of tie Queen, would be most nvidiobs and
unwelcome task. Her Majesty also observed
that Lord John Russell and Lord PahnsrstSn
appeared to represent different sections Of the
Liberal party-Lord Paine rstOn the more Conserve
tive ana Lord John Rnssel the more popular section.
Impressed with these difficulties, her Majesty cast
of the Liberal party in the House OF Lords, II
whom both Lord John Russell and Lord Palmerstoa
had been in the habit Of placing confidence and whs
might have greater facilities for uniting the whole
Liberal party under Administration than could DO
enjoyed by either of the sectional leaders.
Furnished with this commission Lord Granville
waited upon Lord Palmerston, ana COMMUNICATE -
hun tho of the Queen. 10 the handsomest an
ner and without the slightest hesitstion, Lord Palmer
ston consented TO waive whatever claims he might no
supposed to have and TO act under Lord Granville a.
Prime Minister. Lord Granville then secured the coop
GRAFTON Of those statesmen who appeared to hun most
likely to form the nucleus Of strong and efficient Ad
miDisraOn; but in his first interview with Lord JOha
Russell Lord Granville found that Lord John wss d.
posed 10 insist upon conditions which would render any
union or cooperation with Lord PanerstoD impossible.
whether the Government was presided over by LORD
Granville any other person. On second inter
view with Lord John Russell, Lord Granbie ascer-
tanned that instead Of being, as her Majesty clearly
intended he should be, means OF facilitating the
union between Lord John Russell and Lord
Pam erstOn, his Premiership would only be an
Obstacle in the way of agreement, and that
Lord John Russell OF Lord Pnlmerston were sent for
an arrangement was still possible. Lord Granville
Immediately Informed the Queen OF this state OF facts
and pointed out to Her Majesty that he would be really
counteraciing Her Majesty's wishes and Intentions
were be to continue bis efforts to perform the TASK
which the Qneen had 80 graciousy, and at the same
time Unexpectedly, imposed upon him. Upon being
satisfied that this the case, the queen sent for
Lord Palmerstop, who went 10 Buckingham Palace
Mt 81 O'Clock yesterday evening, and had Al
audience of Her Majesty, which lasted for q.
hOur and half On his return from the Palace Lord
Pamerston Immediately act ont for Richmond TO con

believe that Lord Palmenton will succeed in forming
an Admin sration which will command the support OF
the Liberal party, and save them from the great d:'

/ Amid the thousand and one run0rs that nave Dces

/ as we know is definitely settled. Lord John husscn
has accepted the Foreign Office. This places beyond
suy doubt if doubt there could be, the policy Of Eo-
gland ON the Italian question. Lord John Russell has
| ever been known as an ardent friend Of the Italian
race, Italian freedom, and Italian unity. AS these
feelings have been generally shown Out OF once, or
when they had rot 70 stand any practical test thsy
