LONDON , December 10. Mr. OInd-
stone's probable rotiretnonl for tlin

being much discuaaod In the London
papers. The premier's nonrcot friondc ,
nnd I fancy the premier hlmaolf arc iu
doubt what his iutontlona really arc.
Ho would Hko to rotian , while himself
and his party are nt the zenith of tholr
alronrjth nnd popularity , nnd yet ho
wishes to robin power which ho haa
nlwaya foand ouch a. fascination in
wielding. The Times puts forth n
feeler for the Marquis of llnrtiugton
no premier upon Air. Gladstouo'a re-
tiromont1 but the choice would
not bo by nny mcaua satisfactory
to n radlcnl olomont. The radieala
would infinitely rather jump to the
end and have Mr. Chamberlain. It
mny como to this , but it will not
probably como to this yet nwhllo.
Gladstone , I think , will in nil likeli
hood bo induced to tlavo off the irro-
prosalblo conflict between the whiga
and radicnlu , which is Euro to arise
whunovor ho retires , by postponing
for u while his resignation und retire
