NEWS OF THE WEEK.
THE Parliamentary Registration proceeds in the manner antici- pated from the lazy indifference of the Liberals and the hopeful realty of the Tories. With scarcely an exception, the latter hate succeeded in beating down the numbers of their antagonists, and augmenting their own. The Metropolitan County is clearly lost, and the Tories may reckon on returning two Members at the next election. In London City, a reference to the comparative numbers of claims and objections shows Toryism in the ascendant. In the Counties, and in some of the principal Boroughs, the same result is obtained. Were an election to take place before the eegistration next year, there would be a large Tory majority re- turned for England. Sir ROBERT PEEL, the Times now plainly announces, is only waiting till he can be sure of a majority in the House of Commons, to turn out the present Ministers. The Morning Chronicle eagerly snatched at the admission of the Times I hatfthe Tories were not yet ready to take office ; and asked bow Lie) were to get "in"? Look at the proceedings in the Re- vising aristers' Courts, and the process will be plain enough : it is going on now. The Tories are assiduously making a ma- jority; and the work once completed, there will be no longer any coquetting with the Whigs, no more shy reluctance to return to power, but an eager onslaught on the enfeebled foe. The way may be opened any day after the meeting of Parliament by the Lords; who, by an address to the Crown for the removal of Minis- ters, or the rejection of necessary bills, might compel a Cabinet with a majority of only 15 or 20 in the Commons to retire. Pro- bably this operation will not long be delayed, if the registration goes on as it has commenced.
