Since Lord John Russell threw up the Government in a pet , the whole affair of the Ministerial arrangements has been a state of doubt .

Jiudget ; or Lord John's Anti-Papal Bill . But it was generally believed that there were yet deeper causes—splits in the Cabinet ; such as one between Lord John and Sir Charles about the Budget , or between . Lord John and Lord Grey about the Anti-Papal Bill . The Queen knevy on Friday that LordJohn intended to resign ; on Saturday the resignation was formally accornjjusucu ft
, anu jjora tan ley was sent for . From that hour , each clay , Sunday not excepfced , saw a succession of efforts to form a Cabinet by various leaders with various combinations . Lord Stanley tfaye up his first attempt on account of some condition in the tfii-uis not yet explained ; Lord John I tried to reconstruct his Cabinet with modifications , excluding Sir Charles Wood and including Sir James Graham , but in spite of Lord Aberdeen ' s offices as go-between , he failed to secure Sir » l iimPS ¦ I .

terprize of undertaking all the duties of government at once . Two facts were noted through all the cross purposes—Mr , Cobden does not appear to have been offered a place , and Sir James Graham had not been admitted to the presence of the Sovereign . On Thursday , however , some approach was made to a mote direct communication , by letters which l ^^^^ m ^ m ^^ m ^ ^^ Skds m , I *

While we write , the last report is , that Lord Stanley . has given up the impracticable eifort to make a Protectionist : IVfinishnr nnrl Hi * . •>^ .. ^ .... !* .
, „„ notion is ,- that Lord John will again be the man to accept the Premiership , which goes begging . The failure of a Stanley Administration , if it had been founded on genenxlConseroative principles , we regard as a misfortune ; since an excursion into the regions of Opposition might have been useful to the political health of the Liberals , which has been sickly for so long a time . But at the failure of a
Protectionist Ministry we rejoice , though not on the usual grounds . We have not the slightest fear that Protection can be renewed—^ it is totally exploded ; but a Protectionist Cabinet would hare restored to us the Anti-Corn-Law agitation , with all its bitter-I ness and hubbub , and with its cant redoubled ; for it would be but half a reality . An agitation against the shadow of a buried foe would be like a new rebellion against King James the Second necessary if any dreaming Legitimist in o / Iice should mime oi decrees in the
issuing riauid of King James , ' but a most vexatious surplusage to the hindrance of all real business . Nor have we any desire to see a false Liberalism reared again on a pretended resurrection of old enemies . We have had enough of that . Meanwhile , the country is improving upon Lord John and Sir Charles Wood , in preparing trouhlu the most embarrassing for the next Ministry . The metropolitan parishes have met to insist on tht »
total and unconditional repeal of ( he Window tax . The Parliamentary and l'inancial Reformers are moving ; the Protectionists have begun to stir with incomprehensible hopes . The last are speaking very big at county meetings , but the events of this week ought to teach them better than to waste ' their time in trying to raise that ghost . The work really before , them will be he ^ r ...-,.
Men ted if Lord John be reinstated--a Minister who acknowledges " agricultural distress " without a thought , of trying to mend it . Distressed the a i iculluriHtH are--landlords losing rent , fanners livin ;/ on their capital , and labourers scarcel y living at all No Ministry that can be formed holds out any hop ,, of a remedy : Protection is off the cards , and l < Vi-etradei . s will not admit the possibility of doing any good . The prosper ! , i > , llim-fore , that ( he dir , | rv-, i
which is admitted in the Queen ' s Speech , reiterated by the meetings of the week , and felt by the farmers in ruin , by the labourers in hunger , must go on until it shall breed some monstrous necessity to force a change upon our legislators , blinded . by prejudices . and half-true doctrines . ' The most formidable resistance to a measure , which few Governments will be strong enough to throw aside after the Durham letter asitatiom is
i Jl ^* P *^ 1 ^* * P Ireland gainst the Ecclesrasfciaifc < Jf&H BilTS ih > argtimen ^ ti *»; i ^ s « 6 oml of the Dublin bar , the martyr-likefciv £ ia-- ' l& « jiW of the '* raild and intelUgent Archbisho ^ M « rfTr § r / i ^ e backed b y a popular agitation , which puts in ' ltd ' front rank twenty-six Bishops and three thousand Priests . The English People will probably strive to prevent any Ministry from drawing back from the Antinut it is
xapaimu ; even more evident that any Minister carrying oi \ the Anti-Papal bill will have to face a determined resistance in Ireland—possibly rebellion and civil war . Under the dread of those contingencies , the Duke of Wellington granted the Catholic Emancipation Hill of ' 2 <) . 'The Sailors' strike is scarcely yet suppressed .

Progress has been reported this week in some vast improvements ; next season Whittlesey Mere will be ready for the plough , the sea dyked out ; the Norfolk Estuary Company is prosecuting its works with vigour , and another company is applying to Parliament for powers to reclaim land on the I .. irir'nlii-: ) ii > - /» c !/ l « . * £ » lw .
