Premier and His Ministry Resign.
LONDON, Jan. 5.-The Times this morning is
really thunderous in an article on the
Egyptian muddle, and recommends Mr..
Gladstone and his Cabinet to resign at once,
and adds that they are much similar to that
Government which likewise allowed things to
drift until England was involved in the Crimean
war. The Times also is frightened at the
orders to prepare the channel feet for sea-
1t says: 1--WE suppose it is superfuous
to point out that any movement of
this nature, if not seriously intend
ed must be purely mischievous. At
the present time the affairs of the empire are in
such a condition that we cannot afford to look
eemplacently on at acts of inadvertance calcu-
lated either to widen the breach between its
other States or increase the prevailing belief
that there is in the conduct of England neither
steadfastness Of resolve nor vigor of execution"
Numerous officers, thinking from the orders
sent to Portsmouth that the government in
tended to take serious steps, visited the Ad-
mirality to-day and rendered their services
They were informed that the summoning of
officers and sailors on furlough to their ships
was merely routine step.

Mr. Gladstone,s Illness.

LONDON, JAM 5-There is no reason to fear
that Mr. Gladstone's illness is more serious than
the published accounts admit His friends have
known for some days that he was indisposed,
and have doubted the prudence of the journey
to London which Mr.. Gladstone deemed imper-
ative. Sir Andrew Clarke, whose bulletins are
from sleeplessness-always a grave sign with
him-considers the illness identical with that of
two years ago, insists upon repose, and already
talks of a trip to southern Europe.
