The Minister President Prince Schwarr.enberg is ne derstood to be preparing a general statement of bis news respecting the present position of affairs in E lve r, as well as the hue of policy he intends to pursue. The Sardinian government are about to send e s pecial wissioa to the court of Vienna to renew the friendly 'claims which have been too long broken and," adds the announcement, " some important c hanges in the politics of tho cabinet of Tans may be looked for." Austria hes promised her mediation in the mitlement of the differences betweeet and the rope.

Austria is bound daring this period to de. liver 10 million eentnere et eelt to Rums, to be paid for in specie. DENNI ARK AND THE DUCHIES. The protocol of the proceeding in the transference ai the government of Holstein, referred to in enlays Express, is published in the Ham bbg papers, signed by Cannt Reventlow, Gene ral Thurnien. and Count Mensdorff. The latter announce that nothing but the means of transport at their disposal cooditions the departure of the troops. The fortress of Itendsburg is to be gar risoned by the Holstein and Lauenbcrg contingent. It is stated, that all the officers who commanded in the Schleswig Holstein army during the late war will be ordered to leave the country. In recording the termination of this prolonged contest between the kW.) governments of the Duchies and the Sovereign, a parting glance at its chief stages may be useful. The Schleswig Holstein difficulty wee mainly out of the royal patent of Mu rch 21, 1840, in which the King of Damask dosimod the union of Schleswig and Holstein to Isedlasalwad, and proclaimed his intention to effect the "inespastabis union of Schleswig with Denmark" by mews tit common constitution. The members of the Staab wssembled at Hendsburg, March 18, 1848, and seat a deputation to Copenhagen with • view to turn the Ting from his purpose. They were unsuccessful, and the Duchies took up arms, assisted by the Germanic Build. Negotiations for peace were commenced in London, but Denmark refused to acknowledge their basis. On the 28th of August. 1618, the pocihention of Malmo was signed, and the war was suspended. Negotiations for an armistice and • permanent peace were carried on in London during the next year, hut still without result. Oa the 18th of July, 1819, reliminaries of a peace were signed by Prussia and Denmark, but the strife continued. The attempt made in the same year to attain to an agreement, by sending " men of confidence" from Kiel to Copenhagen, remained without mutt. Denmark insisted upon the in animation of Schleswig. In the spring of 1850, a new attempt at direct negotiation was made by the Statthalters, but was:again unsuccessful. The ne gotiations at Berlin meanwhile led to the conclusion of what was called the simple peace, by which Prussia, acting for Germany, agreed to leave the Duchies to settle with their indignant sovereign as they could. The Schleswig-Holsteiners still re sunned in arms, the Prussians were withdrawn, and the Danes advanced and occupied the greater part of Schleswig. Sanguinary conflicts took place, which the disorganised state of the confederation rendered it powerless to 'prevent or obviate. The *Stirs of Germany touched a crisis. The Olmiits punctuation took place, and a federal army, ac companied by Prussian and Austrian commissioners, arrived in the Duchies in January, 1851. Dane and Hohteiner submitted, peace was imposed, and negotiations for • final settlement were carried on. By the end of December, 1851, the Danish monarch had come to recognise the necessity of abandoning kis plan for incorporating Schleswig ; he dismissed his - former ministry, who would have carried the kingdom of Denmark to the Eider; and M. Bile =Bated at Berlin and Vienna a treaty, the aim of is to secure the integrity of the Danish gasairch , while guaranteeing the administrative ~aiepeatlence of Schleswig and its old union with Maistrin. The concluding act of the drama, as it is biped, is that which is recorded in the lines which pus& this brief statement. ITALY. ROMAN STATES. The agents of the Anglo-French company for the Construction of certain railways in the Pontifical States hays arrived at Rome. They had deposited 200,000 crowns (more than a million of francs) as caution-money. This company is not that repro vented by M. cis Montiar, with which, it is said, it wu disposed to come to an understanding. If the government accepted their propositions, Ow would at once set to work.

(Chem.) Mr. MITCHELL seconded the resehdies. Hs observed that the change of ministry did not meek affect the gela tion before the meeting ; for, thing\ these wee se linger a ministerial reform hill before the semitry,it might be serviceable as a beacon to par it in review. The late mea sure strongly resembled the play of " Haman," with the part of Hamlet omitted. (Cheers.) Had the ministry lived long enough to press their measure on the country, it would have been as offensive in the nostrils tithe people as would the "preserved meats" at Portimesuth. In re ference to this bill, he would alter an old couplet, and say— " Though to their share hallway ea error tall, Thiej egging mann Yr parpamis With the House of Commons constituted as it now was, a change of policy was impossible, even with a change of mi nistry. It was for the people to make up their minds not to be fooled by the House of Commons. (Cheers.) The Cit•IMIAN put the resolution, and it was car ried unanimously, amidst great cheering. Mr. FREBTU moved—" That in the present state of public enlightenment and political knowledge, an extension of the suffrage to all occupiers is imperatively called for that the ballot is indispensably necessary ; that triennial parliaments are absolutely required ; and that small boroughs should be extinguished, and electoral districts arranged, so that population, intelligence, and property any be mon equally represented." (Cheers.) He ob served that this resolution had been prepared lest week by a committee, with a view of tiakering up Lord J. Ras sell's bill ; but as they were now beginning de woo, it might be worth consideration whether they would not demand a more extended suffrage than ono to all occupiers merely. Ile thought property was sufficiently represented ; labour and intellect ought to be enfranchise d; and he saw no reason why any man untainted with crime should not have a vote. (Cheers.) Mr. MANNINO in seconding the resolution, said, he bad carefully examined the all but defunct Reform Bill of Lord J. Russell, and had come to the conclusion that it was a thing not fit to exist. Dr. Derby had been called in and he was of the same opinion, for be proposed that it should be publiclstrangled on Friday nest. (Cheers and laughter.) Mr.WALL moved an amendment, declaring, that an oc cupation of six months shouid be sufficient to confer a TOM on any male adult untainted by crime. Mr. M'DOWALL supported the resolution, and recom mended the meeting to sink minor differences, in order to great obct. gain • r. P ET TI E took the same view, and advised that the amendment should be withdrawn. Mr. WALL con,ented, but said he should afterwards propose his motion as a substantive resolution. Ultimately it was put as an amendment, but very few hands were raised, and the original resolution was carried. Sir B. HALL, M.P. was received with loud cheering. He said, that at the meeting in that hall, throe weeks age, ha bad advised them to meet again, if the bill of the gowns- I mat adi not meet their expectations, and he was glad th W dew M.

That was there- Ihne a step is the right direeticia. As regarded Mazyle bone, be did not thing Wthe redivides of the borough bea ching to U. would have much iseressed the number et electors ; but in the other boroughs throughout the dam it might have given an aggregate increase of half a million of vegan. (Hear, hear.) Then the principle of re presentation accompanying taxation was admitted to scree extent, by the proposal . of • 40s. tax-paying franchise. The bill also recognised Joint occupations. The evil of the bid was, that the franchise was left too high, there was no ballot, the ratepaying clauses were continued, as were sep tennial parliaments. But the great objection wee, that all the little wretched boroughs from Abingdon to Yarmouth were continued, instead of being placed in smother schedule A. (Cheers.) And what was worse, no lees than 13 of the defunct rotten boroughs disfranchised by the first Reform Bill, were proposed to be resuscitated—es though this could tend to purify the representation of the people, by enabling a man to purchase • seat with a cheque for 2,0001. without ever going near the electors. (Hen, hear.) thee 13 boroughs, which formerly re turned 26 members, contained • very small neither of 101. houses,—oeuld any one guess how small ? (" A tioesamd.") No, not to many ; not more than 302. (Hear, hear.) In many of these places there had not been a poll in the memory of man; and yet these miserable little places were brought forward to preserve what was. called the balance of power, or of parties, which he could not under stand, unless it meant that Abingdon was to balance Man chester, and Caine Liverpool, and so on. iLaughter.) He was glad there was an end of this bill. (Cheers.) We were now in • crisis, as it was called. We were to have new ministers, and he would read a list of them. (Hen the hon. member read the list given elsewhere, each name of which excited groans and laughter.) There was one very curious appointment—the Woods and Forests, Lord d. Manners—the gentleman who had once stood for the city of London, and who somewhere in his poetical works ex pressed the wish— Let laws sad learning. trade mad sammeree, Satendpmeene oar old nobility. (Cheers and laughter.) The man who was to be the leader of the House of Commons, Mr. Disraeli, had in 1833 leveed en address to the electors of that borough ; and he Oh B.

He combided try sitting forth, in similar teems to those which be bolemplepod on previous occasions, the urgent claims of the workmen upon their masters, and called upon Mr. 0. Usher to move the following resolution : " That this meeting, believing it to be impossible, with justice to the operatives, to resume work while they arc called on as the preliminary to doing so to sign a declara tion, which would take from them all power of combina tion and every vestige of independence, pledge themselves to remain firm in their refusal to consent to the terms en deavoured to be enforced upon them." Mr. USHER. denounced the conduct of the directors of certain railway companies, who, under a pretence of dis mounts ' any interference with the natural course of trade, have led upon their workmen in the locomotive departments not to assist in promoting the cause of men who were out of employ in consequence of their having been engaged In a combination against their em ployers. ltailway companies had themselves risen by combination, and therefore they had no right to check the advancement of their workmen, because they found the necessity of amalgamating their interests fur one common good. He trusted that the men who were now out of em ploy would not be intimidated by the circulars which hurl been issued, as it was not likely that the directors would risk the property under their control by turning off their skilled workmen, merely because they had subscribed to , wards the relief of those who were engaged in this struggle. ` If the directors, however, should persevere in their resolve he trusted that the public would interfere to prevent the loss of human life which must arise from the employment of unskilled labourers. He congratulated the members of the society upon the firm attitude they had assumed, and expressed a strong hope that they would continue to , remain true to each other. . Mr. W. BROWN seconded the resolution, and said he was proud to think that his fellow workmen had refused to sign a declaration which would have the effect of de praving them of independence for the future portion of their lives. If their masters persisted in the course they had commenced, this society must do all they could to establish shops for themselves in which they might employ their own members. _ . Mr. W. NEWTON supported the resolution, observing that since they last met much had been done towards bringing this question to a conclusion, because the proceedings of the masters had greatly contri buted to then (the workmen's) strength and unity. They were now in possession of their code of rules, and they had read the declaration, and they contended that that code of rules and that declaration were calculated to confer great advantages upon their trade. The most important question for them to consider :was, what was to be done : for the future. They could only resume their employment upon the terms insisted upon at the Wm they left,—the declaration must be withdrawn, and mo other restrictions imposed; and they must declare *Mr unwillingness to work overtime, or to work by the piece ; and if they were compelled to do so, lit should be only upon the understanding men tioned. One of the masters, it appeared, had abo lished the declaration, and his men were working upon the terms they received from Ist to 10th of January; and there was an agreement that if they worked overtime they should be paid double wages. This was a proof that the masters had felt the necessity of a prom understanding between themselves and their workmen, and he hoped that others would soon be induced to follow their example. There had always been a good general understanding be tween masters and workmen in the iron trades, and it was not until the masters turned the workmen out that any con test had arisen. The employers had brought the present crisis upon themselves, and he felt assured that, if this so ciety persevered in their efforts, and the public remained true to them, they would soon find that labour must ever be regarded as the predominating feature in all the business transactions of life. (Loud cheers). The resolution was then put and carried. Mr. CONINGHAM said there was one point on which he felt considerable interest, and to which he had devoted a great deal of attention—he alluded to the system of co operative associations. He believed that the principle in volved in throe associations was one of the most important means that the working classes could adopt to emancipate themselves from their present dependence on the great capitalists of this country. It was the object of the employers and capitalists to keep the working classes in their present dependent state, and 'he (Mr. Coningham) desired to point out to them the necessity of making them selves self-dependent. By pursuing a course calculated to enable them to achieve this object they would ultimoilelly succeed in securing the most beneficial results. In reds the co-operative associations had been decidedly succomfial, although every obstacle, political and otherwise, had been thrown in their way. But notwithstanding the success of these associations, such had been the effect of the meat proceedings in the capital that emigration societies had been formed for the purpose of conveying largo numbers of the owners to the free shores of America. The beneficial effect of those associations had, however, been abundantly proved; and there could be no doubt that they would be equally successful in this country, if properly carried out. He considered that in the present crisis the employers had acted in the most scandalous manner in trying to thrust down the throats of their workmen a declaration which he was proud to think they had resisted, and were determined to resist. If the masters had their own interests, as well as the interest of the public, at beast, they would lose no time in withdrawing this declaration. Mr. Coningbam con cluded a brief address by calling attention to the fact, that in Nantes and Rouen, the co-operative system had been attended with the most satisfactory results, and that in cer tain instances, in the latter . place, where the principle had been abandoned, the working classes were in a moat mise rable condition. (Hear, hear.) A vote of thanks was then pared to the chairman, and the meeting separated. THE KAFIR WAlL—Yesterday were printed, by ceder of the Hones of Commons, two returns obtained by flirWllllme Melseweeth, respecting South Africa. It ap pears from a examinations of the first return, that in 1860 the somber of Royal Artillery at the Cape of Good Hope cues 901, and that in 1843 the number was 166. Of officers of the Royal Engineers, in 1843, then were 7, and of the Sappers and Miners there were 93 men; whilst in 1850, eke taken of the Engineers numbered 10, and of the /lap pets sad Miners there were 202 men. From the second return it appears that in 1860 the Tank and file numbered 4,068, whereas the number in 1843 was 2,684. The net expenditure for military, civil, and naval establishments in 1110-60 was 292,819 f. 4s. 7d., and in 1843.44 the amount was 346,0761.85. td. BUCKINHHAM•IIIItE RAILWAT.—The half-yearly 1 ordinary meeting of the shareholders in this company was held on Saturday, at the Easton station, Easton-square ; Sir IL Verney, M.P., chairman of the directors, presided.

Mr. Lawson was appointed a director in the place of Mr. R .Creed'; the other directors were re-elected, and the proceedings then termi nated. INCENDIARISM NEAR WINDSOR.--On Sunday evening, soon after seven o'clock, a fire broke out in the farm premises, near the dwelling house of Mr. Winder, in Ike parish of Bray, about midway between Windsor and Maidenhead. The speedy arrival of the borough engine from Windsor, with the engines from the brewery of Messrs. Revile, Reid, and Co., and from Windsor Castle, happily confined the flames to two large barns, which, with the con, and implements, were totally consumed. The Ile continued to burn through the greater part of the gild, but the house and adjoining sheds were saved. There is every reason to believe that the premises were wilfully tired, but no clue to the discovery of the offenders bee been obtained. The lees was covered by an insurance is the Ilan Fire-othet WHAT WILL THE NEW (Was tbe Daily New 8.) Now that we have got what we are told is an official list of the new cabinet.. I'M ma; without temerity venture to speculate a little on what they will do. Usually people are judged by their ante cedents, but on this occasion there are few antecedents to judge by, for of the round dozen noblemen and gentlemen who are to advise their SoveazioN under Lord DERBY'S guidance, only three have ever been in any cabinet previously. Not that we object to them en that account. The country, we be lieve, can very well afford a change from the " tried men," and will not be sorry to see a little new blood in the cabinet, instead of the old series of official hacks, wedded to old official notions, and indignant at everything that was not con sonant with old official forms. At the same time it would, of course, be quite as well that tho new blood should be good blood. Is there any pro mise in the cabinet, as it is said to be composed? Let us take the great questions of the day, and see what the people are likely to get out of the new ministry. Upon the question of Reform, what is there to hope for? Alas! there is nut much to expect here. There is scarcely a member of the cabinet who has nut opposed himself to the most popular measures of constitutional progress, and especially to the admission of the people to any share in the po pular representation. Individually the interests of the new ministers are decidedly antagonistic to any improvement of the representation that is based upon a re-construction. The Duke of NORTH UMBERLAND is patron of Launceston ; Mr. WALPOLE sits in the House of Commons by sufferance of the Earl of Eestosr, as mem ber for the rotten borough of Midhurst; Lord MALMESBURY sends his brother to parliament as member for the parishes which constitute Christ church. Lord LONSDA LE is lord of Whitehaven. Sir JonN PAKINOTON scats himself for Droitwich; and, to crown all, Major Bent:sewn) was Mr. JOHN ATTwooD's nominee and bottle-holder at that im maculate borough, Harwich. If we go out of the cabinet, and search for purity among the subordi nates, who first challenge our attention ? Their ATTORNEY-GENERAL buys himself a scat at Abing don, and the Marquis of CitiNuos represents his own tenantry at Buckingham. To expect repre sentative reform from a government thus composed would, indeed, be to expect figs from thistles. The church one might hope to find improved, for, taking the cabinet as a whole, there is only to be found in it one thick and thin supporter of high church principles - of episcopacy . in its integrity and with all its profits—of the ecclesiastical commission and its various maladministration. and abuses. But, unhap pily, that very member is found in the position of all ' others in which ho has most facility for carrying out his principles unchecked by popular opinion and the other members of his party. Upon the Hone SE CRETARY it devolves to attend to all questions that especially concern ecclesiastical privilege, and in the disposal of the crown livings, and even in the promo tion to the episcopal bench, the Hots SECRE TARY has much authority. Now, upon church questions Mr. 110 RATIO WALPOLE'S views are unfortunately too well known. From the benches of the House of Commons it would, perhaps, be difficult to select a more confirmed defender of ecclesiastical abuse, or a more bigotted and perverse tractarian. Take the subject of education. Run down the list of the cabinet, and say if there is a single man of whom there can be any hope upon that momentous and most pressing question. The LORD PRESIDENT of the COUNCIL IS specially charged with the duty of presiding over what is call the educational committee. It is due to the -Marquis of LANSIX/WNE to say that the business of the educa tional committee under the late administration was administered with liberality and judgment that de serves much praise. Great strides were made in his time; strides, far indeed from being equal to the magnitude and importance of the subject, but, never theless, strides which carried the question far in ad vance of its position antecedently. What hope is there that the new PRESIDENT of the COUNCIL will make the like advance? There is none, certainly, to be derived from past experience of his official career. Law reform! Here is a field comparatively unoc cupied, and free up to the present time from party conflict, on which the cabinet might have arrayed their forces, and formed a line of battle against cor ruption and abuse. But, alas, great though the new LORD CHANCELLOR may be as a Chancery lawyer he is a man of years, educated in,—end, as there is reason to fe-..r,—irrevocably wedded to all the anti quated forms and practices which are at the very root and foundation of the evil. In the HOME SECRETARY he has for a colleague a Chancery practitioner, who, whatever may be his own view, looks up with veneration to the LORD CHANCEL LOR'S opinion ; and in the SOLICITOR-GENERAL there is every reason to expect another colleague will be found, whose notions of equity are all derived from Lincoln's-inn, and whose inclination to improve will be equalled bY . his capacity. Take financial reform. We have in the new CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER the only man of liberal mind in the Cabinet, and almost the only man competent to deal well with any sub ject he may grapple with. But whatever his forte it is certainly not figures. The last member of the administration from whom a distinct statistical statement could be expected is Mr. BENJAMIN DIS. RAELL Figures of rhetoric he does, indeed, indulge in ; but those arc not the figures in use in counting-houses. It is not easy to foresee how the soon-to-bo right honourable gentleman will deal with those great questions of financial reform which must speedily press upon him, or how, if he attempts to deal with them, he will be able to get over the difficulties which the nature of the subject and his own want of experience must inevitably suggest. Connected with the finance of the country is its trade. The idea of a quarter sessions magistrate, I well skilled in Burn's Justice and the Game Acts, being set up to manage the commercial interests of this great commercial nation! What commercial advantage is this extraordinary appointment to secure to ns ? Protection has long talked of the " home trade" it will create. Are the Oxfordshire yeomanry to be incited to wear silk stockings, and the Woodstock Union paupers to give encouragement to cambric handkerchiefs? In what other way this gentleman can increase the trading interests of the country than by introducing our manufactures among his own peasantry it is difficult to conceive. What confidence the manufacturers and traders of England can put in such a President is still harder to imagine. Take them altogether, only ono verdict is possible on the new Ministry. It is one that per haps might have suited England a generation ago, but it will never do for 1852. CIVIL SERVICE SUPERANNUATION FUND.—A cor respondent directs attention to the expediency of an inquiry into the management and amount of the superannuation fund for the civil servants of the government. Out of the salaries of a large portion of those servants 5 per cent. from some and 2} per cent. from others, are deducted to support the fund. Previous to 1829, a government officer could be pensioned off at four-twelfths of his salary after ten years' servitude; and, after a service of fifty years, he could be pensioned off at his full salary. Since that period, the low est retiring allowance is three-twelfths of a salary, and the highest two-thirds. It is believed that the superannuation fund has increased up to the present time to an immense amount. It is even asserted that it must be nearly two millions sterling. If the whole of the Port-office servants subscribe to this fund, as it appears is contemplated, a con siderable increase in the fund will be the result. One of the members fur Bristol attempted, a few years ago, to obtain some information respecting the superannuation fond, but failed. The acts of parbunent relating to it are the 4th & sth Wm. IV., cap. 24, sec. 10, and the 13 & 14 Viet., cap. 95, sec. 3. ACCIDENT IRON NArfltA. —A fatal accident lately happened at Brodiek, in the house of Mr. John Fut tartan, boot and shoemaker. Ms workmen during the winter night* had been using naptha, or wood spirit, in place of oil, in the lamps. One evening lately one of the men went to fill a bottle of impala out of a jar, taking with him Mr. Fullerton's little boy to hold a candle. While he was filling the bottle, the naptha was allowed to com municate with the light, and immediately taking fire, exploded with a loud noise, threw the boy down stairs enveloped in flames, and set the house on fire. The boy's r o e d u n d f : d r burning cloth's, impregnated with the naptha, were all in t th he at tw b o e flames, which were estingulshed by snapping him in a r ai c d hil w d " was ms so tan se ti v l en 7 l;:w: p h u la tr n e li rc e n t..
