Tne first result of the Ministerial defeat was a Cabinet Council held yesterday, in Downing-street, at noon, when the Earl of DERBY found himself sur rounded by his discomfited allies. The great author of the Budget, Mr. Dleater.t —those wealthy terri torial elements of his Cabinet, Lords LOMBDALE, BALisni tor, and Ilmtowiekt —the mild Mr. WAL ew.v., of militia suffrage memory —Lord MALMO BLRY, the Bonapartist—LoORTUUMBIRLARD, of the Admiralty—Sir Jour PAKINOTON, hero of Quarter Sessions and interceptor of the Cape Constitution—Lord J. MANNERS, the _poet of the Woods and Forests,--and the ancients Humes and HENLEY. The Court Circular announces that " they sat an hour," each doubtless teeth., like a ministerial MARIUS musing amidst the ruins of their Budget. Two hours afterwards, Lord DERBY was booking his gr:irre the South Western Railway, en route for , then to lay before her Majesty the Quzax a statement of his present plight. What might be his reflections in the train as it whirled him along towards that Royal Mistrae, whose trust in him it had become needful to resign, we will not attempt to say. One thing, however, is attain, and may fairly be said that if, when be undertook the guidance of the State, some months ego, he had begun his task in a spirit of wise anae mia to the just demands and true needs of this our growing progressive generation, he would scarcely have had to hurry, yesterday—en ejected and dis• credited man—to contemn to his Scireamon the utter defeat of that policy he had vaunted with so much loud flourish and confident prediction. In something like the words of WOLSET he might mutter on his journey—" If I had served my country with half the seal I have shown the landlords, I should not now have been deserted in the hour of need." At the time when such gloomy reflections clouded the flight of Earl DERBY to Osborne, the funds showed the cheerful feeling of the public on his defeat by a rise—unusual of late—of one-half per cent. So much for the downfall of the Derbyites. The speculations mentioned in our aolumns.yester day are, of course, very rife. The admirers of Toryism still evidently chef to the hope that when her Ifsitorr this day sends a mewge to another Councillor to aid her with advice on the reconstruc tion of a Cabinet, that message may be sent to the Earl of Asmosz.v, or to the Marquis of LANSDOWNS, rather than to Lord Jona &Teem. They still dream of new combinations of the old Tory elements, mad foresee a new DIARYITS Ministry Agin, Phomix•like, from the ruins of the late defeat.

Amid the despair of the itimonlitsil Tories, there still lingers a vague hope that the ems mereltal in terposition that saved tbs. hos drowsing three weeks ago, may now Do hood obis and willing to restore them to life. Lord Polosmotoo, it is said, though disapproving of the babbia-bodist, refused to make any effort to reseed Mamie ogling it. The noble Viscount is not the trim who would spare him self or anybody else a twinge, when be has made up his mind to say anything that he thinks it very de sirable to say, or to do anything that he thinks it advisable to do. From which the weskit Oulton sagaciously infers that Lord PahateM was not very sorry to be absent from Thursday night's division. They dwell, moreover, with curious earnest nem on the fact, that his son-in-law, Lord Jocelyn, voted for the House Tax, while his colleague in the representation of Tiverton, Sir Gilbert Heathcote, as well as his son, abstained from supporting the liberal opposition. Finally, the un happy victims of Mr. Disraeli's incapacity for finance, repeat with mysterious emphasis the free and may expression with which that great master of language, Lord Mahnesbury, thought proper to move the adjournment of the Upper House last evening— viz., that " Lord Derby had gone to see the Queen at Osborne"—a most unuanal phrase, it must be owned, fur a Secretary of State to make use of on any public occuion, and, especially infelicitous when uttered with reference to a crisis like the present ; but which we rather incline to treat as another proof how lamentably the education of the illiterate earl must have beat neglected in his youth. But mikes Lord Pahmersten were to emulate the hiss of Quietus Curtail and offer to jump into the tmeginire of lierbyism, it does not appear very clear how it is possible for his lordship to avert the late that now impends over the defeated Ministers and their adherents. And how even such a feat of self-devotion would help them seems equally unintelligible. Meanwhile the Whig and Peelite coteries are Wily in building cabinets of cards, and filling up with amusing particularity every post, however subordi nate, in the public offices or the Royal household. The respective admirers of Lord Lansdowne and Lord Aberdeen dwell with complacency on the cer tainty, as they suppose, of their favourite statesman useming his post at the head of affairs. Many lists are handed about for the appeasement of impa tient curiosity, but one of the most plausible and probable that we have yet seen disposes of the prin cipal offices of state as follows : First Lord of the Tres- sury Foreign Affairs Horne Mos and Leader of the Commons Colonies Chancellor of the Ex chequer Admiralty Secretary-at-War . Mr. Osborne Lord-Lieutenant of Ire land .. .... . Duke of Newcastle &c. 8o &c. It seems to be generally understood that Lord Grey and his immediate mends would not be in eluded in this combination • neither would the leaders of the Manchester section of the radical party. We most repeat that these are mere ru mours, to be taken only for what they may be worth.

Sudbury Kaartoborough Carlow FRANCE. Ne PARIS, FiIDLT EYININO. The Emperor has received at the Tuileries, from Count de Moltke, the letters by which the King of Denmark continues him in his post of Envoy-Ex traordinary and Minister-Plenipotentiary at the French court. The Moisiteur says : For the purpose of causing assumes sad weakening the action of the government, the news et an approaching modification is the ministry has boon disseminated. The eorrospandents of some of the foreign journals mention it, and add commentaries from themselves. This tomtit is (also, and does not repass on any foundation. The above note probably refers to a report that, in consequence of a violent quarrel between M. Fould and M. de Persigny, one of them would be compelled to retire. I have every reason to believe that the quarrel took place, but that it was made up by the Emperor. The only report of a ministerial change to which I have given circulation was that M. de Germiny would replace M. Binesu as Minister of Finance. This, however, can hardly be one of the rumours alluded to, bec ause so far from my men tioning it as likely to weaken the action of the government, I stated that it would strengthen it, M. Bimini only quitting the ministry to assume the directions of the Bank of France, and the proposed minister being in close re lationship with M. Fould. I have no doubt what ever that this arrangement was in contemplation, and if it has not been carried out the reason is that some of the directors of the Bank of France, who have enjoyed public confidence for many years, are ' not yet converts to absolute " unity " of action in financial matters. The rrport of the intention to re-establish gambling houses has been frequently contradicted and as often revived. Doubtlees it is not easy for a government whom pretensions to mora li ty and religion aro so very high, to find plausible reasons for reviving these pests But the patronage of which they would be the seurce, and the considerable amount of money whisk they would bring in, are temptations likely to prevail over other consideration. I read in the Bows des Bess Arts : at. deenledly about to be rwastabliabed, bet in a saw basis. the tables wil be splendid, they will ass be epos to all the world, and no stake can be less than US bursa Win journal, published as it is under the direction at the Count de liieuwerkerque, may be considered ' as authority in this matter. It seems that precau tions are to be taken to exclude pigeons not worth plucking; but as the object of the establishment will of course be to do business, there is no reason to suppose that it will be very exclusive. The Emperor has ordered public bathe and wash bosses to be established in three of the poorest quar ters of Paris, and proposes to defray the expenses from his private funds. _ Three equestrian statues in bronze have been or dered for the decoration of the squares of the Louvre and Tuileries. One, that of the Emperor, will be placed in the middle of the Place du Carrousel, a statue of Louis XIV. will be erected in the square fronting the Louvre, and one of Francis L in the court of the Louvre. The El**, which has been suocessively known ea the Elyse. Bourbon, and the Eyeing Nationale, is sow to be called the Elyste Napoleon. The new name of this historical palace is already painted over the front entrance in the Rue Faubourg Bt. Honore. Its reported that Prince Jerome will reside there, and that Prince Murat will take the Palais RoyaL The Petrie says it is assured that the Emperor will go to Comp to-morrow.

This inert's* nut at present be only approximately estimated ; but we may be nearly certain of being below the truth is ealculating at 80,000,000 f. the lacrosse which the indirect revenues of the year 1862 will present over the year 1831 This increase having only been estimated at 37,000,000 f., the receipts will be 23,000,000 r. more than were set down in this budget. Such a considerable improvement in this important branch of the public revenue is of fortunate augury. Everybody knows, in fact, that the indirect taxes rise or fall according to the abundance of labour, the move ment of affairs, and the activitvof transactions. Such a rapid increase, as that which we point out, le • striking proof of the public wealth and prosperity. We are particularly happy in remarking the increase of 91 millions, which the last month presents compared to the corresponding month of the year 1851. November, 1861, was the last mouth of parliamentary agitation. The direct taxes and various revenues will give besides 12,000,000 f. more than the estimate of the budget ; so that the whole of the receipts of the year 1862 will exceed by about 36,000,000 f. the esti mates of the budget. This Increase of receipts reduce* by so much the deficit; this deficit having been in appearance 101,000,000 f., descends to 08,000,000 f. On the other hand, the whole of the credits opened will nut be employed. The credits annulled have during the last six years averaged 60,000,600 f. a year. This year they will not amount to so much, became the budget was established in the worse of the year, when wants could be better appreciated ; but in recanniag them only at 26,000,000 f., the final deficit, or the deficit of the year 1862, will not be more than 40,000,000 f. To appreciate this deficit, and the situation which results from it, it moat not be forgotten that in thus getting into debt for 40,000,0001'. only, the state has deviated this year 73,000,000 f. to the execution of extraordinary public works, an expense essentially pro- ductive, and which, en the conditioo of being restricted within nrudent limits, should be considered less as an ex pense than is an advance and an advantageous investment. If placed in presence of the great things which have been done this year, of the great works which the Emperor has ordered, the measures of reparation which he has accom plished, the deficit is insignificant. Let us add, that for the floating dot it will be a very light charge ; for, in of the deficits left to it by previous years, the resources eithie fleeting debt will greatly exceed its wants, since at proms* the funds in hand amount to 162,000 , 000 f. In these different point• of view the financial situation of the year 1862 is completely estisfsctory." The marriage of the Emperor with the Princess Carols Waaa is now no longer in question. The government papers will to-morrow morning publish the article of the Cassel Gazelle, stating that the princess is betrothed to Prince Albert of Saxony, and allege that the union has long been a settled affair. BELGIUM. The central section of the Belgian Second Chamber met on the 15th, approved the provisional treaty with France, signed Deo. 9, and expressed its confidence in the disposition and ability of the go vernment to carry on ulterior negotiations to a favourable issue. SPAIN. A Madrid letter of the 11th says : Manilla Narrate returned yesterday evening from Min nie', and in the night left fur Bayonne. lie is accompanied by his former aide-de-camp, M. Enrique'. Dating the whole of yesterday evening, the hotel of the marshal wag completely besieged by a number of persona of distinction both progegesistas and moderados. A deputation of the former party went specially to offer to him the expression and the homage of their entire sympathy. The deputation was composed of MM. Facundo Infante, Antonio Gonzales, Puaron y Lutes, and Francisco Luton. Before his depar ture, General Narrate signed the manifesto of the combined oppositions, which is to be addressed to the nation. It will be to-day signed by the other members of the directing electoral committee. M. As inine Esteban Colima's, deputy of the eppositlen, yester day delivered into the hands of the Political Chief of Madrid, the representation signed 'by the majority of the polities' men and other infineatial personages of the =Merida party, for the purpose of ohtaining the necessary authorisation to hold a numerous electoral meeting. No answer has yet been given. It is positively stated that Ge neral Urbina is to be replaced se Minister of War by Ge neral Bluer or General Colour', but nothing is yet decided on.

ROSE, Dna. 10 Edward Murray has been removed from the prison of Ancona, and sent towards Rome, whenoe it is inferred that he will be transferred to a new place of incarceration, viz., the Castle of Palen°, an ancient feudal hold of the Coloring family, in the mountains between Palestrina and Anagni, near the Neapolitan frontier, which has been reduced by the Papal government to a place of detention for political prisoners. This change of place would therefore be concordant wish Cardinal Antonelli's assurance that Murray would not be actually subjected to the de grading life of a galley slave, On the other band, the removal of the prisoner from Ancona brings with it the disadvantage of his being abstracted from the vicinity and surveillance of any British agent, and the consequent possibility of his being subjected to the harshest treatment without Wng able to commu nicate with the representatives of his government, or to procure their intercession in case of sickness, damp cells, or bad food. The exchange upon London continues to fall, being this day 4894. This may be attributed in part to the influx of English visitors, and in part to the firm report that the paper currency is about to be done away with in the Papal states.

Orders have bean given that he is to receive honours equal to thole which were . paid to the Emperor of Rani*. Of mune speculation is busy with the motives which have led to this visit, which only a few months ego would have been regarded ea the least probable of rrentualities. The Zollvereia question is in the all-sufficient hands of M.

The most natural theory of the Emperor's journey is, that he is inclined to exhibit to Europe, and especially to 1 1 France, a sign of the new entente (archaic at which 1 the courts of Berlin and Vienna have arrived. The Emperor has conferred the title of baron on Captain lientzi, son of the general of the same name who lost his life in defending Buda against Georgey. NUREMBERG.
