      government might think it fit to propose . The hon . member ior Buckinghamshire took a perfectly parliamentary course on that subject . Do stated that , Having appealed to the government on former occasions , lie now appealed to the house . I do not in the slightest degree complain of the course the hon . gentleman took , but 1 stated whit must have been " the effect in the view of every one if the motion had been successful . Sir , 2 C 9 members of this house voted for that motion , and 283 members voted against it . There was , therefore , a majority of those persons present in the house of 14 members agafcst it- Now , Sir , upon a question of that kind , brought forward in hostility to the government at the very commencement of the session , the Chancellor of the Exchequer having given notice that he \ rould forward for the _ _ _ _ _ _ « n . ¦

      bring his financial statement jear in two days after , a majority of fourteen must tend to weaken any government which had so small a majority in the House of Commons —( hear , hear ) —hu ; it appeared to me , that although that majority was small , yet , if there- was a determination in all the members of that majority to maintain the principles of commercial policy which in effect were -in question ou that day , that this union mijjht have made up for the smallnessof the majority , and that the «» overnmsnt might have conducted successfully the affairs of the country . But , on the 20 th of Feb ., a motion wa 3 made in reference to a certain question of Parliamentary Reform , and on that question , and iii a thin house of little more than 150 memliers , the government was I eaten by a majority of nearly two to one . ( llear , hear . ) Xow , observe , if that

      had occurred in ordinary circumstances , I might Tmc thought it owing to ihe hour aud to the thinness of the house that those in favour of the motion should have attended , and that those who were not in favour of it were not present ; but that on the second reading of the bill which the house then gave leave to introduce the latter would attend and make a majority in accordance with the view taken ljy government on this subject expressed through iae , as its organ ; but , in the actual circumstances in which we were placed , I did consider that , although hon . gentlemen may have entirely acted with a view to the particular question before them —( hear , bear}—and not at all with respect to the government , —although that might have been their intention and vie w —( hear , hear)—yet that , in effect , having tho whole of the financial * and other meat

      sures before them—having the probability , which I was inclined to believe in , that on other measures , and on other incidental questions , we might meet with similar defeats , I came to the conclusion that the government was not in a position to conduct satisfactorily the business of the country in this house during the forthcoming session . " ( Hear , hear . ) I thought it tt .-is for the public interest that , if this were the ease , the house should not enter discussions on £ unncial mcisures , and be led to form opinions on those questions , when it was not bo probable that the government shou ld be able successfully to go through the session . I thought , likewise , that it was a very dangerous , and that it was a very disadvantageous thing for the country , that a government should continue liable to defeats from time

      to tune , having but a small majority- at any tiu * . c , and therefore carrying on a kind of lingering existence during great part of the session . I therefore assembled the members of the Cabinet , and I stated to them it was my opinion that the best course we could take , as a ministry , was to forward our resignations to her Majesty , and enable her Majesty to iorm another administration . Sly colleagues at present in the Cabinet concurred with me in that opinion ; but one very important member of the Cabinet ( the Marquis of Lansdowne ) , Lord President of the Council , was at that time absent in the country , and I did not like to forward our resignations to her Majesty on tha ' t day , and I therefore asked the house on Friday to consent to an adjournment to this day . Early on the following

      morning the Marquis of Lansdowne reached town , and met me at Buckingham Palace , lie informed me he entirely concurred in the view I took . I therefore proceeded at once to her Majesty , to lay before her the ' unanimous resignations of the members of the administration . Her Majesty was graciously pleassd to accept those resignations , and she was pleased also to inform me that it was her intention to send immediately to Lord Stanley for the purpose of intrusting him with the charge of forming a government . I was informed later in tho afternoon that I was required to proceed to Buckingham Palace , and I was then informed by her Majesty that Lord Stanley bad stated that he was not then prepared to form a government . Her 3 Jajesfy then asked me to undertake thecharge of reconstructing a government which might be able to obtain the confidence of the house . ( Hear , heir . ) I

      thought it my duty , under those circumstances , to attempt that task . ( Hear , hear . ) I have , therefore , assured her Majesty that 1 would undertake it . I am perfectly aware of tbe many difficulties which surround that task , but I Ehall only add to those difficulties , and be acting most improperly , if i were to ' state anything further at present . ( Henr , lear . ) I have only further to request that the house , without passing now to any discussion , or orming any judgment with respect to what has -. iken place , will adjourn to Friday next , when I jrust some definitive resolution may have been come . ; o , and when I shall either have succeeded in or abandoned the task I have undertaken , and in # ther case the house will know what is likely to be £ hc result . Sir , I move that this house do adjourn to Friday next . ( The noble lord sat down amidst cheers from both sides of the house . )

      Mr . Disiueu said—Sir , it 13 not my intention to trouble the house with any lengthened remark after the statement of the nobie lord . ( Hear , Lear . ) Ifc is most true-indeed , it is a matter of public notoriety— that Lord Stanley has had an audience of her ^ laiesty ; and when Lord Stanley has received the gracious permission of her Majesty to state what ; transpired at the audience , he will do SO in a constitutional manner from bis place in parliament . { Ileav , Lear . ) Uut , Sir , there . is one observation in the statement of the noble lord which I feel it my duty not to let pass unnoticed on this occasion . - ( Hear . ) Sir , when the noble lord states that Lord Stanley stated to her Majesty that be was not prepared to form an administration—; Lord , T . Russell . —Sot tJim prepared to form an

      administration-Mr . Disraeli . —The correction of the noble lord does not at all affect the statement I am about to make to the honse . Xow , I have to express my conviction , that when . the noble lord said that Lord Stanley had stated to her Majesty , that he was not prepared then to form an administration , the noble lord made a statement to the house which , upon further reflection , I think he will acknowledge is not founded upon what really took place . ( CheeM from the Opposition . ) Lord J . Russell said—Sir , after what the

      honourable gentleman has stated , I think it necessary to make a single observation . The honourable gentleman is no doubt correct when he states that Lord Stanley will , at the proper time , and when he ias obtained her Majesty ' s gracious permission to do so , give an explanation of what took place at the interview between the noble lord and his Sovereign , and my opinion is , that Lord Stanley ' s statement will bear out what I have already said , namely , that he was not then prepared to form an administration . —( " Hear , hear , " from tba Treasury benches . ) .

      Mr . Roebuck said—Sir , before the motion for adjournment is put , I am anxious to make one single observation upon the extraordinary state of affairs ¦ in which we are at present placed . ( Hear , hear . ) The noble lord ha 3 moved that we should adjourn to Friday , and the noble lord is about to construct a Cabinet without the House of Commons Laving tbe slightest opportunity to express any opinion of its own upon the subject . Her Majesty , we arc told , has been obliged , if I may so use the phrase , to send for somebody to make an administration , and that step has hitherto failed . Xow , sir , I do hope that the noble lord who has hitherto acted as the leader , not simply of a great party in this House , but also as being the representative of a great principle , will not forget in all tbe proceedings about to take place that that principle is now in his hand , and that in a great measure whatever will hereafter , take place with respect to that great principle of financial arrangement in this conntrr .

      its existence will depend upon the proceedings which he is to take , and upon him will rest the responsibility if we are again called upon to fight the battle of free trade . ( Cheers . ) The motion for the adjournment to Friday was then put and carried , and the house , which was full to overflowing , immediately adjourned . . TUESDAY , Febluary 25 .

She was very pale , and appeared fainting or dying , she was making use of her hands as though trying to grasp something . Her husband , who was behind her , caught hold of her hair , and pulled her back suddenly . Witness said , " If the

      .. THE L ' ATE GENERAL BEM . ; ¦ j The following letter is taken from the Times , and will be interesting to our readers , as it relates to the late General Bom : — ' "Sir , —The end , of celebrated men is sometimes clothed in mystery , as are the summits of certain high mountains often concealed in mist ; but while tho latter is ' natural , ' the former " IS ' too oftoa affected . ' The busy tongue of folly casts a doubt over that page where truth ought to dwell . ' ' .

      , cious , hesitate not to " affirm that he waB poisoned at the instance of the government under which he found an asylum . The matter is of- sufficient importance ifor you , and through you for tho world to know ; that the one and the o . ther presumption are equally groundless . •• . ' - , .-. . . "Without stopping to inquire into the nature or extent of the hospitality afforded to Bom , it is only tlie truth to say that it was to the last honourable and liberal . - Such is the testimony of General Kmety , the friend of Bern , with whom I have just been honoured with a conversation on the subject ; and which , as it may interest your readers , I take the liberty , to notice for your columns . :. --.,. . - ; . ¦ '

      "To put the fact of Bern ' s decease beyond all suspicion , his physician , Monsieur Kalozdy , an Hungarian of considerable attainments , has drawn up a report intended for the press , showing the nature of , tbe raatotly and the natural causes , of Bern ' s death . This painful event took place at half past one a . m . of the 10 th December last ,. when this first of artillery officers—the King of Cannons , as he was surnamed in the Hungarian warsbreathed his last , at the age of 55 in his countryhouse , close to the walls of Aleppo .. His grave lies

      on a height near the military barracks of the town ' , "Honoured and revered in lifo , the heroof Ostvalenka , the victor of many . battles , will bo deeply deplored by tlie Sclaves , the Poles and . the Hungarians , to . obtain whoso freedom the most , distinguished portion of his lite was gallantly devoted with an indomitable spirit , and a noble enthusiasm ; and though there are various opinions concerning the wisdom of the policy of the renowned soldier , yet it is hoped there will now prevail , a i generous sympathy for the death of the exile . ¦?¦ .-

      ' . 'To the common cause of grief'and . solicitude his immediate friends have ; another—the circumstance of his deep poverty . Bern has left foreign debts amounting , as far as is yet knowri ,-to about 40 , 000 f . His creditors are chiefly in Paris .- Bern , like some , other illustrious men , cared . little for money . His wealth consisted mainly in his great strategic ttde . nts ; a genius which created out of scattered' elements such ayastfiold of resources , the skilful employment of which more-than shook an empire to the centre , and from an humble position at a bound placed Hungary ¦ in an attitude of terrific action—a strife , though confessedly unequal , yet so determined and brilliant that his united enemies ceased not to admire - while they poured

      down with gigantic strength to crush him . . '• •'• " The wealth of assaulted cities lay at Bern ' s feet , but he remained poor , bearing an . irreproachable public reputation . ¦ One incident worth a hundred will serve prominently to exhibit the grandeur of Bern ' s character . At a-moment when , chiefly through his instrumentality , ' the' flag of Hungary was everywhere triumphant , the government of that country offered him-to be commanderin-chief of all the Hungarian forces—an elevated position ; but one which he would only consent to accept after the government had explained itself distinctly on the points which were nearest his heart—the freedom of tho Sclavoniana and the reconstruction of Poland . . ;

      " Such , among others , were the objects of his ambition—such the enda he proposed to accomplish . War . was the means ; and surely , whatever his failings , that man is great who , denying ^ himself , makes his own . prosperity to depend-on the advancement of his fellow-men in the . moral and social , scale : of . being . Bern would sacrifice self in everything to attain these great ends . Even to the last the mind of this remarkable man lost none of its vigour ; he was actively , engaged in useful experiments designed ; to benefit the country which afforded him its hospitality , and though they diminished his pecuniary resources yet . bis purse , was ever open to . succour his needy countrymen ., Permit me to add that the Sultan ' s government , with an honourable generosity , has provided for-the

      payment . of . his local debts : and Mahomet Pasha , late Ottoman Ambassador to St . James ' , and now Governor-General of Aleppo , is generously occup ed , in measures calculated to promato the object proposed in respect . toithe' European creditors of the . deceased , lourniost obedient fiervant , " Aleppo , Jan . 18 . . f .

      His gallantry , to the fair sex is thus described : — "Bern , although shy and reserved , was the most gallant of men in his deference to females . Lady Horatio Weston , the wife of an Englishman in . the Austrian service ,. had been placed by her . husband , for safety , in the-fortress of Karlsburg , and on the retreat . of the Auslrians from Kronstadt , of course he had followed . the army , whilesbe was left behind . At Captain Weston ' s request ,, Mr . Colquphioun , our consul-general at Bucharest , sent his servant with a letter , to request Bern to allow him to enter lvarlsburg , and bring Lady Horatio away . Bern not only complied , but sent up ' his own carriage , paid hor every attention in his power , and appointed an officer of hussars Baron Ispika , to escort her to the frontier . To the widow of the Austrian Major St . Quentin , wtio was in Klausenburg , Bern not oi » ly gave passports to enable her to leave the country ,

      out requested her to make use of his purse to any extent she mi ght require . To tho widow of Count Mikes , his letter of condolence was-, a most beautiful and touching proof of his kindness of heart and delicacyiof feeling . Nor didsuch qualities ,- united to his heroic courage , and crowned by the halo of success , ( which we fear has always something to do with the matter ) , fail to win him the hearts of the ladies of Transylvania ... After the taking ! of Ilermannstadt , they presented him with a ,. beautiful Turkish sabre , formerly worn by Prince Rachbtsky , . worked splendid housings for . his steed ,. and overwhelmed him with fetes and speeches . . At the same time they presented to , Bavon Kerneny a richlyornamented buzogany , or antique staff of command , which had been , once used by his ancestor , Prince Kemenyi and bore his name on the handle , with tbe date 1040 .
