| In the House of Commons on the 18th, the
| question as to whether the government had
/ resolved to Withdraw beligerent rights from

Mr.. White, was not put. saa8 Sra
| The Morning Star assumes from Mr.. White
! having been requested to postpone his question,
that the subject is under consideration by the
| Cabinet, and observes that though the with
drawai OF beliigerent rights is no mere senti-
| mental action, 1t would have the effect of shut
| ting Australian ports to the Shenandoah, and
| those OF the West Indies to the Stonewall, the
| only two privateers afiOat. 1t would tend to
| expedite the period when the government of
the Union will raise the blockade and permit
free intercourse with the Southern States.
Inc Morning Post in an editorial on the
same subject, says Mr.. White postponed his
| question in the absence of Lord Palmerston.
