Disraeii's shelter Behind the Tbrone-rhe
Queens Retirement 10 BaimoraI.

tEroIn the London Times, May 20.I
On Monday night the queens Ministers were twice
defeated in the House OF Commons. The adverse
divisions could not have been quite unexpected,
since Mr. Disraeli and his colleagues well knew the
temper of the House OF Commons, and they had
before them the Parliamentary notices, which
warned them OF what was coming. The political
atmosphere was 20 the last degree troubled; tie
mercury was rapidly sinking at any moment the
storm might break. Il did break on Monday night,
anu at the present moment all IS confusion. There
- Ministerial crisis which may dissolve either the
Ministry or the Parliament. Th. being the state OF
wings the public has been astonshed by anotnec
terday which contained TIE news OF Mr. Dsraeus
S SSeieat and nus motion TO report progress on tho
scotch Reform bill II was announced tha; the queen,
win ner family. mad left Windsor castle the evening
before az hai-past six O'clock for Bamora. Thus
NJ the very hour when a uost Important DEBATE was
proceeding-a debate on which the question OF llfe

present case are singIlarly inconvenent. Al inter

In his Old age had 20 spend the greater part OF n

the presence OF his sovereign. Bamoral, however
ts quite out OF the question. Mr.. Disraei 10 sixty
three years OF age and. though mentally energetic
would be too much 70 ask him 20 rush 10 the uSnand
81 limited matt speed and return within forty -egn
noufs. SO her Majesty must be COMMUNICATES

sns ne was NOT prefared Ia answer 20 Mr. Daigiisl
ne annOuncei Una he would state ~ the House TO

with reference TO the SEQ on Reform bill. Whateve
LAY pe the de'erminatlon arrived at, whatever new
oimcuiy any new vote OF The House may brinp
upon the Minister, ~ u impossible that he can have
the opportunity of advising her Majesty personally
on the subject and SO far the ecicht trangaction q
public business must be hindered
We must think therefore, thatit was an Act O,
C1tlpdble neglect on the part OF the Minister not IN
inform the Queen that me political prospects o

presence af or the seat OF the legislature The
Queen has always shown herself ready 70 fulfil her
constitutional duties, and no one eau doubt that
had the case been fully laid before her she woul1
willingly have remained at Windsot az q period O
such paramount importance. Either by chance o
through traditional practice OF the royal house,
crisis has centrally found the sovereign at s0m
distance frcip the capital. But In all such cases t
orW peupu In ths realm has been readily accessible
