The present session of Parliament la expected to be one of the most momentous In the modern history of tho United Kingdom. This expecta tion appears certain of a realisation of tbe present programme of the government coalition Is carried out. and that this will be done, or at any rate will be attempted, there Is full reason, to believe. - The government regards the re sult of the election as e popular mandate for It to proceeed righteous ly with the volley It adopted In the last Parliament. It has, moreover, not only a majority sufficient to en able It to do so, but also a majority requiring It to do so. How far the government will be able to get with Its programme is a matter of much speculation. It Is hoped that all cont^ptlou* measures, If not all the balances of the session, will bo disposed of before the cor onation, which is to take place the latter part of June.

The etock of both spir its turpentine and rosins are hlgnev In Savannah than over before, and the stocks of both ar© lower than at any season of the year In the history of the port. The statistical situation In tho naval stores world Is such as to lead to the conclusion that there can be no backward moveemnt for some weeks to coma.
