One story is that the Cabinet.is thorough-\ 1y united about the protection of British inter- ests, but divided about what those interests are, . and how far British communications with Indis.' will be imperiled by Russians in Asia. Another story is, that there is great friction in the Cabi-| net in consequence of the anti-Turkish views of Lords Salisbury. and Carnarvon, which gives rise to the ramor of thelr resiznations.

Lrverpoor, May 5.—The Courin’s London correspondent understands that Mr. Green- wood, the editorof the Pall Mall Gazette, in about to take a responsible position on the Times. The correspondent queries whether this may not indicate a change in the Zimes’ at~ titnde on the Eastern question, Mr. Green- wood’s writing in the Pall Mall Gazette having been strangely anti-Russian. , . GLADSTONE'S RESOLUTIONS. Loxpox, May 5.—The ZTimes in a leading article says: ‘“ Gladstone’s resolutionsthreaten todo something worse than throw the Liberal party into confusion. In ordinary times the breaking of party bonds might doubtless be borne with seremity, but these are not ordinary times. The Governmentmust soor come to decisions of incalculable importance, bes cause tending to make peace secure or place the country on that slippery incline of menace which too often ends in war. Bitter personal animosities are enlisted fu favor of a course which would be ‘disaster and crime. Political rivalries are alding reckless advisers, and it may be the dissensions of Parlinment are not entire- Iy absent from the ministerisl councils. Al- though the good sense of the public will, we be- lieve, defeat the promptings of passion, it cer- tainly cannot afford to lose the Par- linmentary influence which has been most powerfully exerted on the side of peace. Yet, by destroying the effective force of the Liberal party at this critical moment, Gladstone has put his great authority at the command of traders in the passions of war. The Liberal party is split into factions, some of which will vote for Gladstone’s resolutions, and others for - the previous question.. The rent may easily grow wider, one- ection becoming more and more ready to combat against Turkish ‘misrule, while another may drift towards those Con- servatives who are as wax in the hands of the Government. The immediate effect of this dis- union must be not only to give the Ministry a great majority, which is a matter of little con- sequence, but we fear to strengthen the faction. ‘which is clamoring for war.” CARLYLE ON DISRAELI'S POLICY. LoXDox, May 5.—Thomas Carlyle, in a letter- to the Tinkes on the Eastern question, says: To the Edilor of the Times—Sim: A rumor everywhere prevails that our miraculous Premier, inspite of his Queen’s proclamation of neutrality, intends, nnder cover of *care for British interests® to send the English fleet to the Baltic, or do some other feat which shall compel Russia to declare war against England. Latterly the rumor has shifted from the Baltic, and become still more sinister on the east- ern side of - the sceme, Where a feat is contemplated that will force not Russia only, but all Europe, to declare war against us. This Jatter I bave come to know asan in- disputable fact in our present state of affairs, and the outlook is surelya gravcone. As to British Interest, there isnone visible or conceiv- able to me except thetaking strict charge of our route to India by Sucz and Egypt, and for the rest resolutely steering clear of any copartnery with the Turk. Inregard to this or any other Britishinterest whatever,it should be felt by Eng- 1and to be as real ignominyto be connected with the Turk at all. Nay, if we still had, as in fact ought to have, a wish to save him from perdi- tion and annihilation in God’s world, the one future for him that] has any hope in it, iseven now that of being conquered by Russians and gradually schooled and drilled fnto & peaceable attempt at learning to be bimself overned. The newspaper outcry against Russia is no more respectable to me than the howling of Bedlam, proceeding, as it does, from the deepest ig- - norauce, egotism, and national jealousy. These things I write not on hearsay, but on acute knowledge, and to all friends of their country will recommend immediate attention to them) - : while there 1s yet time, lest in 2 few weeks the msddest and most criminsl thing toat s British 1 ~ ~ 5
