The Timcs this morning labours hard to prove the necessity
of a coalition between Sir Roulia.r PEEL and the leaders of the Whig party for the salvation of the country. It even goes the length of suggesting that Sir ROBERT might waive his objections to the principle of Lord Joni RussEtrs " confounded resolution," although his farewell speech, in which lie solemnly avows his determination to oppose that principle, has scarcely. reached the provinces. Very complimentary this to the good sense arid honesty of the late Premier !
The Times talks of the " inevitable destruction which betides the State, from the entrance into power of a Movement Ministry ;" and tells the King, that " now is the time to make his stand, or, with his Crown, and every other emblem, and every solid support of Royalty, to fall and be extinct for ever." After reading this rhodomontade, it is edifying to turn to the City article of the Times, which informs us, that " All the markets for Public Securities have shown great firm- ness, with an advance of price, arid in most of them business to some extent has been transacted." How provoking is this calmness and security in the monied men (usually the most sensitive of political alarmists), while the monarchy is on the verge of ruin, and " inevitable destruction betides the State !"
