Fkom the manner in which the members of the Government accepted Mr Ormond's. amendment, introduced last nifht during the debate upon the Crown and Native Lands Eating Bill, it would appear as if they courted defeat, and were anxious to leave office, and have the present parliament dissolved. Our special sajs that speaking generally, the House is in a disordered state, and bo very little real business is likely to be transacted. If such is Ijhe case, perhaps the best thing that could happen the country would be an early dissolution, and an appeal to the electorates for an opinion upon the principal questions of the day. Of the two evils, perhaps the Ministry would rather accept defeat at the hands of Mr Ormond than wait for it from Sir George Grey. It is also probable that Mr Hall, seeing that it is impossible to proceed with business, will precipitate the end, and instead, of fighting with his disordered force, and against a hostile majority, try the effect of an appeal to the constituencies.
