The BRITISH MIN1sTRY.-Every thing
which has yet passed in Parliament, since
the session commenced, indicates break
nd of the British Ministry. We suspect
that Lord John Russell will have to resign
office. He has offended the Liberals, by
wholly abandoning the Reform Bill, which,
since 1851, he has pretended to consider a
necessity, and while he justiies the Nea-
politan Revolution, he declared on the sec
ond night of the session, that in the benev-
client spirit and Italian heart of the Pope
lay the solution of the Italian difficulty
He qualified this, it is true, by saying y
His Holiness would only ''recur to the mo-
BILE principles, which actuated the COM
mencement of his reign" and make timely
agreement with Victor Emanuel-whom
the said Pope has excommunicated-an
lay down his temporal power. Such
blowing Of hot and cold is the worst species
of political imbecility. Of course, Palmer
ston will be only too glad to GUST his noble
friend.-P Philadelphia Press.
