Mr. Canning’s resignation is a considerable political event, and seems to show that the Ministers are determined to persevere in their system of hostility against the Queen. It is doubted, however, whether Huskisson and his other friends will follow him out of office; and it is certain that he will not himself go into opposition. Probably he will assist them on great emergencies not connected with the Queen’s case; and perhaps there may be some understanding with regard to his return to office at a convenient period. It is said that the measure upon which the continuance of the present Ministers is to be tried is the restoration of the Queen to the Liturgy. If they are beat on this question, it is understood they will certainly retire; such at least is the language of several of their friends.
