We have beard that at the meeting of Lord Stanley's
political friends on Wednesday there were present fifty.three members of the House of Commons. They resolved unanimously to support the Ad- dress. Of this number we believe there were thirteen who voted against the Government upon the Speakership question.—Post.
There are two corrections to be made in the Division-list on the Speakership. Mr. Edward Holland voted against, not for, Mr. Aber- cromby ; and Mr. Jephson, who was put down among the supporters of Sir C. M. Sutton, did not vote at all.
A long letter from Mr. Ellice to his constituents at Coventry ap- peared in the Chronicle of Monday. It is written in a decidedly Li- beral spirit; but does not require insertion at this time, when the events which Mr. Ellice prognosticated at Naples are in the course of actual fulfilment.
It is conjectured that Ministers will not oppose the reelection of Mr. Bernal to the chair of the House of Commons when in Com- mittee; Sir Cray Grant, for whom it was destined by them, having failed in obtaining a seat.—Herald. [A good reason.]
Sir Charles Manners Sutton has been consoled for his sentence of expulsion from the chair, by addresses from the Merchant Tailors Company, and from Salisbury. The Tailors also conferred their freedom.
