LONDON, May %. 1868.
Mr. Bright assures MS that Ministerial crisis twice
week is too much for his nerves. But 1t can no
longer De said that Mr.. Dsraeliis wholly responsible
for such state of things. The House, which might
turn him out. divides with him the odum

extreme Liberals arc as much responsible

Gladstone out for the present They argue that the

plete that a leayen of OldfashOned WhiggeTy Is
still too strong in him. and that the atmosphere OF
opposition is better for his constitution than the at
mosphere of Office. With Gladstone in power, they
say. we never should have got household suffrage,
and the discstablshment of the Irish Church might
have waited another five or twenty-five years. Now
they whom I have called extreme Liberals. and
among whom do not include Mr.. Bright, care moth

is a stanch ally of MIR. Gladstone, and sure

tackled Mr.. DisTaeli with such unusual lmpetuoslty,
any purpose of bringing him TO bay. Mr.. Dlsraeh
has much more difficulty IN managing his own 1Oi-
