POSTSCRIPT.
SATURDAY NIGHT.
THERE appears to have been some hitch—some disagreement in the Cabinet—in regard to the Dissolution of Parliament. It is under- -stood that Sir ROBERT PLAUSIBLE iS unwilling to drive matters to ex- Iremity. Time, at any rate, would be gained by meeting the present Ptuliainent ; and Sir ROBERT, like all men fearful of the event, would fain postpone it. On the other hand, it is believed that the Duke and his Horse Guards set are eager to come to battle. T:iey know that the enemy may make excellent use of a few weeks' delay. It is clear that the Liberals are not losing strength ; while such occurrences as Tithe slaughters in Ireland, and the renewal of the Spy system, or something very similar to it, in Scotland, are not likely to bring popu- larity to the Tories. We suppose that these arguments have prevailed ; for our latest intelligence is to the effect that the proclamation for the Dissolution will be signed by the King at Brighton on Monday, and be officially published in Tuesday's Gazette. The writs will be despatched without delay. The Reformers therefore must prepare for immediate action. UNION is strength ; PROMPTITUDE and VIGILANCE double strength. DOWN WITH TIIE TORIES!
