LORD PALNIHSTOX, we are informed, bee so complished the duty imposed on hin, by this QUINN at the beginning of the week, and his Administra tion may now be regarded as complete. A second glance at the list of its members is not needed to show that it can boast a combination of administrative and departmental ability, Parliamentary talents, and statesmanlike character and reputation, rarely to be found in Cabinets pretending to political homo geneity. If the change of Ministry does no more than guarantee the country against the harassing surprises and vain alarms which recur in a state directed by weak and incompetent hands, it will be worth all the pains that have been taken to bring it about. Lord JOHN Kt:settee accession to the Foreign-office is a pledge of a vigilant attention to the interests of freedom abroad. Mr. SIDNEY H mintier knows mote about the military forces of the country than any man in Parliament, and has given abundant proofs of his zeal for their improvement and economical administration. Without at all wishing to underv►lue the im portance of the Home-oßoe, we may express our regret that the ►bilities of a man like Sir O. C. Lewis are not to be directed to some branch of the public service more imperatively calling for their full development. We bad understood that he himself would have preferred the principal place io the Council for the Affiin of India. That would Lave been a sphere worthy of his talents and resources, and one in which we are willing to believe that he might have dune no little service to the public. He has earned for himself the character of being a safe and successful financier; and Indian finance is pre eminently the administrative puzzle of the day. The Duke of SouranaT, we understand, is to succeed Sir JOHN PsEINGTott as First Lord of the Admiralty. It is now seven years since he has occu pied a seat in the Cabinet, although if we mistake not, be bas more than once had the opportunity of doing so. No one, however, is leas disposed to political indolence or more keenly alive to the oblige. tines which men of great wealth and station owe to society. In the interval which has elapsed since he was a member of Lord lowa RuseELL's Cabinet is Isl 2, he has taken a leading part in several of the moat important and laborious inquiries that have occupied the business of Parliament. He was • prominent member of the Committee of the Commons that investigated and regulated the supply of water to the metropolis. He was Chair man of the Committee to whom the irregularities of the Admiralty under the Duke of NOWEEIVIIIIIIII.- LAND and Mr. STA t ORD were referred; and it was by him that the memorable report was framed which, for a time at least, put an end, as was hoped, to bribery and bullying in the dockyards. Some what later he was a member of the Sebastopol Committee. Since his elevation to the Upper Haase he has taken a less prominent part; het the Liberal party have not forgotten that it was be who took charge of the Church Rats Abolition Bill, and who fought a gallant though unavailing battle for the principle of that measure against the over whelming odds of lay and spiritual prejudice. The Duke of Son eattET has always had the character of being a proud and reserved man, indifferent to per sonal feelings, and careless about unpopularity. We are bound to say, however,that we do not recollect any instance in which he has differed from the eminent men of his party in which he has not been in the right. The office of First Lord is one which at the present moment peculiarly demands energy, teatime nese, and impartiality. Of these qualities he cer tainly is cot destitute. No man ever messed ►im of • job ; no man ever tired him out with week; sad so man ever bullied or cajoled him oat of his opinion by the threat of losing favour with either Court or City. We only wish that all the other appointments in the new Government may be equally calculated to com mand confidence. Among the members of the Administration not having seats in the Cabinet, we Had the names of the Earl of RIPON (lately Lard Gobtmen), and Lord WontHousis, both of them men fashioned to honour. The appointment of Mr. Herjeant DLASY, as Solicitor• General for Ireland, and of Mr. COG is, as an Irish Lord of the Treasury, may, we hope, be taken as signs of a fairer and more impartial administratiow of Irish affairs than the last Liberal Government could claim credit for. All who hare had experience of the eminent practical abilities of Mr. .1 ,m • IVit.coN, one of the Secretaries to the Tressu , ) in the last Liberal Government, will regret that his name it not included in the present Admi nist rat ion. The nee Nlinirees take office with well-defined responsibilities. Nothing hut the confidence that they all accept thtsc responsibilities cheerfully and entirely could reconcile the more active and prop's sire portion of the Liberal party to certain anomalies in the composition of the Cabinet which must strike every eye. It would be foolish to ignore that which every one is talking of, and to disguise that con siderable dissatisfaction is felt at the meagre repre sentation of the Independent Liberals in the new Government. If in a Cabinet which has been enlarged to the number of sixteen membere, only two meats can be afforded fur the more advanced portion of the Liberal party, then it is all the more desirable that the two offices so appropriated should be selected from among thole whichgive weight and influence to the men who fill them. Since Mr. MILNER GIBMON was to be invited to enter the Cabinet, it would Lave been only a decent recognition of the section of the party to which he belongs, if a Secretaryship of State bad been offered to Wm. Without denying the merit, of the noble Doke t mina the Steretaryskip al the Colonies bee THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 17, 186. been assigned, merits to which we believe i , , stice yet remains to be dose, we take leave ie express en opinion that Mr. NlttssuGleacof:s large knowledge of society and the world h eater qual i fiesteem for a department charr , A w i t h the appointment of governors and ot r -icers for our distant posses- SIMS than thrvis merits for which the noble Duke is con'..picuons. The poet spoken of as re served for Mr. COWAN has some relation to the great services he has rendered to his country, sad we siscerely trust that on his return from America he may see it to be his duty to accept and fill it for Gie public good. But he will probably think it strange that a Government, which must depend from day to day on the suppOrt of the more advanced members of the Liberal party in Parliament, should have been formed with so little reference to its importance. Next to good administration, the two chief things which the Liberal party expect of the new Govern ment are a foreign policy directed to the liberation of Italy from the foreigner—so far as circumstances render that possible—and a Reform Bill not leas effi cacious than that of which Lord Joint Rumex!. has publicly drawn the outline. This is so clearly the policy on which the union of the Liberal party has taken place, that every nobleman and gen tleman whose name is to be found in the list of the Dew Government must be taken to have embraced it without reserve. We hourly see names singled out, and the question is asked whether this gentle- man has not spoken in favour of nomination bo roughs ? whether that nobleman is not favourable to Austrian domination in Italy ? The answer to all this is, that all who have joined the Cabinet have dime se with a full keowledge of the accord 011 prieciples of home and foreign policy which has made the formation of the present Government possible, and that it is not to be doubted th►t those principles have been frankly accepted and will be' honourably maintained. The fact that Lord JOHN RUSSELL has not stipulated for the introduction into the Cabinet of a larger number of those Liberal members who look more especially to him u their leader only shows more plainly that he and his friends regard the broad basis of the policy of the new Government as a thing not to be dependent on numerical majorities at the Conceit-board, but as something fixed and assumed in its formation. If the two objects we have named—a foreign policy favourable to freedom abroad, especially in Italy, and the early passing of a Reform Bill not less favourable to the unenfranehised classes than the measure sketched by Lord JOllll RUSSELL—are fairly and steadily pursued, the Ministry will not have cause to regret that it takes office with a majority too small to enable it to obtain the votes without con vincing the reason of Parliament; it will consolidate its power by satisfying the country. If, on the other hand, those objects are slighted, the Cabinet will peas rapidly to premature and unregretted decay. POLITICAL MOY/IMENTS.-(THIS DAY.) This morning a general meeting of the members of the new cabinet and other gentlemen who are to be offloially connected with the government took place at Cambridge House, Piocadilly. There were present Lord Palmerston, Lord John Russell, the Duke of Newcastle, the Duke of Somerset, Lord Campbell, Earl Granville, Mr. Gladstone, Sir George Grey, Sir G. C. Lewis, Mr. Sidney Herbert, Sir C. Wood, the Duke of Argyll, Mr. Cardwell, Lord Clarence Paget, Mr. Robert Lowe, Sir Richard Bothell, Sir Henry Keating. At the close of the meeting Lord Palmerston proceeded to sub. mit the list of his new cabinet to the Queen, in order to obtain her Majesty'. approba tion of it. This baring been given, a court will be immediately held, for the delivery of the seals of office into the hands of her Majesty by the late ministers, and for their transfer by her Majesty to her new advisers. At this Council Lord Granville will be declared President of the Privy Council, a special council, composed chiefly of the new Cabinet Ministers and Great Officers of State, being held for that and other purposes. . . This evening Lord Derby probably will make some statement in the House of Peers ; and in the Commons, Mr. Disraeli, after communicating the resignation of the ministry, will move the adj sum-- meat of the House until Tuesday or Wednesday s on which day the chLfsrent psrties will change sides. Sir Benjamin Hall will be called to the House of Peers simultaneously with the meeting of parlia ment, under the new government, for the despatch of business, which will be about the 28th inst. The right boo. baronet will hereafter be known by the style and title of Baron Llanover—the name of his seat in South Wales. Mr. Vernon Smith will possibly be appointed to a mat in the Indian Council, in conjunction with Mr. James Wilson, whose former post of Secretary to the Treasury has been taken by Mr. Frederick Peel. Mr. Vernon Smith had a brief interview with Lord Palmerston this morning at Cambridge House. Lord Cranworth having declined the Chief Justice ship of the Court of Queen's Bench, which becomes vacant by the appointment of Lord Campbell to the . . Chancellorship, the distinguished post will be filled by Sir Alexander Cockburn, who will be raised to the peerage. The Chief Juaticeship of the Court of Common Pleas will probably be taken by Sir William Erie, Sir Henry Heating becoming a puisne judge of the Court of Queen's Bene.b. that he haled • Lag seaverselios on this Abject with the Emperor porker is Ms Majesty's departure ; WM, with Ma Majesty's anthorbeden, be had written to Turin to my that *Medial• meet reactance ell kind of imitated sake, and must, moreover, abstain from /ivies any mamourageniset whet ever to the revolutionary pert; in Italy, Alluding to what I had said with regard to Turkey, Count Welewski observed that he had received the most unequivocal assuranoes form the Russian government of their dears to see the tranquility of Turkey maintained. He felt sure, therefore, that revolutionary movements in the Ottoman dominions would receive no mmearagement from Ramis. With regard to France, Count Walevral assured me that the imperial government was most anxious that no cause of umbrage should be given to her MMesty's govern meat on any question regarding Turkey. M. de Thonvenel had received orders to return to his poet sooner than be had intended, with the sole view of giving greater weight to the Emperor's intentions in this respect. Re would recur the most pi,itive instructions to act in complete concert with Sir Henry Hulwer ; to consult him on every question which might arise; and on no amount to separate himself from her ligjosty's ambeasador. He wee to disoonrage, end, se far AO Ile could, control all attempts to eat the Sultan*, authority at nought ; and special instructions of • einillar nature would be furnished to all French agents In the East. Id. de Thouvenel, moreover, would take Athens in his way to Constantinople, with the occlusive object of impressing upon the Greek government the necessity of abstaining from all intrigues to excite rebel lion among the Greek subjects of the Porte. I cannot doubt, from Count Waialeale tone and language, that it is the sincere wish of the imperial government to prevent any question arising which could in any way occasion differences with her Majeatje government. I took this opportunity of eating Count Waimea'', attest non to the language reported to be held by certain of the Preach representatives abroad. They already began to talk, I said, of the treaties of 1816 being at an end. Such pre osedinge, I &nerved, were not calculated to inspire ooed deaee in the Emperor's iatentlone, and must imomearily cause greet alarm in Europe. Count Walewskt expressed carpels' at what I told him, so he had lately mint circular in structions inculcating the greatest soberer of language." The second despatch to which we allude relates to the policy of tee Derby administration em is the apprehended manifestation on the part of Germany. This despatch we subjoin "The Karl of Malmeebury to Sir 3. Hudson. "Foreign-Aloe, May 20, 1859. "Sir,—The excitement which the expectation of hostilities breaking out between Austria and France gave rise to in Germany, has been Increased to such an extent by the actual commencement of war between those two powers, that there is every moon to appre hend some overt roanlfestatioa on the pert of the Ceromeic confederation, of its determination to make common canes with Austria for the defence of her Dallas ion.. The governments of Germany have had no occasion to inflame the passions of the pciple by appealing to their ',input:dee in fivour of • kindred power engaged in a deadly struggle with Femme fur the maioteuanoe of the territories secured to it by treaty, but have, on the contrary, merely gone with me current of popular feeling, which imperatively calls for decided action on We part of the confederation. Independently of the eympathy with which the fortunes of the imperial house are regarded, a deepoosvictiou is enter tained by almost all dames of the German oommunity ; that the safety of the common country is closely imeneeted with the ability of Austria to maintain herself against the !metalling of France. It is kit that "now la Italy fol lowed. ea it would be, by _the breaking op of those great fortresses which form • bulwark to all Germany on the Tyrolese frontier, and of the territorial arrangements of 1819 applicable to that country, will be but an inducement to France to make • further attempt to subvert then arrangements on the Rhine; and the probability of MMUS in the latter course nil be greatly I. favour of Prance, if she does not enter upon it unit she has paralysed the power of Austria in her more ensemble poennions. For this roans, Germany considers that her future destiny I. in • great measure involved in the result of the Italian war ; and that it would be a suicidal policy on her past to stand aloof, and allow Austria t. be subdued single-heeded, and thereby incapacitated in the contingency which all Clermieny looks upon as cartels to arise, from contrileatlag do the defence of the common country. The cation clf Berlin hie al me, of all the German govern ment, reeisted se far as possible the popular feeling. It has been neatly anxious not to precipitate matters, although it has Dot sho en tt,elf backward in making such preparation. u will nimble it, when the time arrives, to play the part in the defence of German interests which the great renureee of Prussia and the pinion that she holds in the confederation qualify her to perform. But the public feeling in Germany generally, and even in the Prussian territories, which is daily acquiring mote force, will scarcely permit Prussia much linger to maintain bee expectant polic willand there is every reason to anticipate that not many days elapse before some decided indication is given by the oos&dernion of its determination to look upon the cause i i of Austria a. vitally bound up with the general laments of the whole German race. Her Majesty's government have done their utsooet, within Use bounds of friendly representa tion, to Wes the excitement prevailing in Germany, but they have not felt themselves called upon or out barbed to &sande the German states horn taking such tonsure, as those stems considered to be neceeesry for the maintenance of their several interests • for they could not nature the responsibility of even morally guaranteeing them against the ay. tattletales of the Italian war. Her Majesty government bare distinctly do. hired that Germany moat not be influenced in arriving et a decision on the mamentouit qui-sties now wider the consideration of the Diet by any hope of succour from this country. Her Mej-sty's government, in accordance with the commands of the Queen, and with the maltreat concurrenoe of the British nation, se displayed at the late election, drain to maintain the 'teletext neutrality in the present war between Austria and France. They are determined to keep themselves unfetmred by any engagement., expressed or implied, which would restrict their freedom of action in any circume'anoee ' that may sable. They will judge for themselves. and they will not wahines.' thin policy by any previous, declarations, or by any venous expeerslon of opinion. This language which heellajeety's government have held to Germany with reference to the prevailing excitement is that country, they hold also to the powers now engaged In active hostilities; and yon will give the Sardinian government clearly to un der/tend, that a. regards the question now at issue, bee Majesty's _ government abstain from all interference, direst or When, whatever.—l ass, fen.

THE ITALIAN WAR AND ENGLISH DIPLOMACY. FURTHER CORRESPONDENCE. This morning • second series of papers, ninety two in number, misting to waste In hely, were Issued. There documents consist generally of conimuniod ores from our consular representatives at Cerrare, Florence, Roma, Leghorn, A 1200124, &c., derailing the various movenisats which succeeded the outbreak of hostilities between Austria and France. In answer to a note, addressed to him on the 9th of May, 1 1 the Earl of Malmesbory states that it wee by direction of bee Majesty's government that her Misjestre ship Conqueror did not salute at Leghorn the deg of the provisional goveratesat "Her Majeity'e Ministers," wro•e his lordship, " are as yet entirely ignorant of the position and attars of that government" In • dispatch of the 20th of May the Earl of Malmesbary writes to Mr. Scalett : "It is tbe desire of her Milady that you should mouth at Florence, carefully refraining from tek'ag any part la the political events which may &rim, and only commutate eating with the provisional authorities when the iotereets of British .n.jecta imperatively require you to do so." Oa the 23rd of May Earl Cowley informs the Earl of Malone bury that Count Walewski had stated to him that he (the count) "had formally end oflicially declared to the Sardinian Madera that the French government did sot recognise the authority exerchet by Sardinia lc Toomey." On the 26th of May, Captain Yelverton, of the Conqueror, represents to Mr, &artist the importance of our having • line of battle ship at Leghorn. "I am induced," he raja, "to ma►e this repreesat aloe is consequence of the very bad feeling which is manifested by all chimes towards the English, at a time too when the French base an admiral, and the Sardinians • omernolore, on the spot" On the tad oldie present month Mr. &midi mentions in a despatch detailing in some measure the limits of the " dal relations" (to use his own expression) with the sew government, that hie house had been deify filed by both natives and British subjects to thaositain whether the poet of anus of the British mission remained untoselsed; "end, may likewise add," my. Mr. Scarlet., "that great satisfaction is genitally attested by their be ug allowed to remain whose they are." The Prussian arms had been removed. Go the 7th of hum the Earl of Maltneebury instructs Earl Cowley to prom open the attention of the imperial govern ment the propriety of seceding to a request on the part of the Hunan of Parma thet the Emperor of the French should interfere to Induce the Sardinian Government to withdraw Its troops from the derby.

" I hews the hewer to apprir your lordship that I re tinned to Paris yesterday. I collet this afternoon on Count Walewski, when his excellency int.rmed me that the Emperor had regretted not havrog see, me before hi• doper lure, se his klajosly had been particularly desirous* to state to me the eentimenta endi r which he we. about to take the field; but in resequeace of my absence from Pule, his Majesty, just before We departure, hall written to Count Weleweari, charging him to &rare me that In roaming the commend of his army, his Majesty's int. rions were to localiee the war r muck ea possible, to rap ped the neutrality of Oermany, to give no Conn .4lenance to say attempts at resolution, more aerecially with regarl to Turkey, wit, se promotions in tbs Adriatic would he scrupulously respected, and to motes We military operations to driving the Suroriana out of the Lombardo-Year pea kingdom. His Mejeaty further declered that be would ever be ready to treat far poem, when suitolin itowlitioes were offered him. I did not conceal from Count Weleweld my appreheriona that the Etup- roe's programme mould sot be earned out. It was not likely, I raid, that Arleta would comet to dimmers herself of her Italian possemione until after • emir ..1 reverts that might bring the French tronps to the wolls of Vienna. Under such cir cumstance", f hardly needed to add that the ear would not remain locolirei, or a purely Amorist' and Italian war. Then, spin, with respect to the Emperor's.

Nobody would believe that France could not prevent Ude. However, the Emperor's declareloa with segord to Turkey would be 'emir with wi•famlon by tier Mejesty's government, and I trusted that the French primmer would exert the infuses which they poseemod over the Enealan and Sardinian governmeets to law* them to ah elholn from provokiog complicatrons in the Err. Count Weieweil replied that he had great hopes that the In, suald not be of long duration, and that a few months would mo the cad of it. With iropect to the obeirmati IDS which I made reepeetiog the proceedlegs of Sardinia, Count Wahneeki said that he coincided in than satirely, and AUSTRIA. VIENNA, TMUUDAY.

GERMANY. The Unirsrsol German Gazette states that the Bth corps of the federal army is shortly to assemble in a camp for military manceuvres between Heilbronn and Mannheim. For the 7th corps (Bavarians) a similar camp will be formed at Forckheim, and for the 9th (Saxony, Nassau, Electoral Hesse, and Luxemburg), one between Hansa and Aachaffen burg. The number of men in the six corps d'armde now about to be mobilised in Prussia, u announced by telegraph, amounts to 300,000 men. The Prussian army altogether amounts to eight corps, including the regiments of the Guards. SWITZERLAND. " Our correspondent at Berne," says the Conati ttaionsel, " writes word that Switzerland is placed in a somewhat embarrassing position by the pre 'nos on her territory of the 700 Austrians who abandoned Leven°. The men must be fed, and the ex pense of maintaining them is not unimportant. Swit zerland is willing to advance funds for the purpose, but not to sacrifice the money altogether. She can not end beck the Austrians to their own country, because it would be too convenient for them to escape danger by demanding an saylam in the neutral territory of Switzerland, and after being sent home recommence hostilities.

The ambassador, in addressing the crowd assembled before his hotel, said that he would not fail to communicate to the Emperor the sympathies of Greece. Another demonstration by the students has taken place, who called for public prayers to heaven for victory to the Allies, and the people surrounded the church with loud acclamations. On the occasion of the closing of the chambers the King declared that he would follow the advice of the protecting Powers without forgetting the honour of his country.

EXPRESS FROM PAltlb. (PROW ova OWN CONNISPONDENT.) PARIS, TIRTIIIDAY EVENING. All the evening papers have been furnished officially with a copy of the following important " communicated note," sent by the Minister of the Interior to the .dati de to Religion ; The dmi d. Is Idifion, in Pe number of June Id, attri butes the insurrectiond movements which have broken out in Romagna to the Emperor's proclamation. Thie mode of dieing the cue is neither =erect nor fair; but WI the mis represented= appear, to form part of • plea acted upon by several journals, It is desirable to explain how the mattes really stands. The Emperor's proclamation, which has ell that character of noble moderation which is the invariable I rale of hie policy, merely made en appeal to the patriotism and discipline of the Italian people. It repudiated any " preconceived system of dispoesessiag sovereigns." The Emperor hes moreover distinctly recognised the neutrality of the States of the Church. This declaration inftlelently enables public opinion to judge how reprehensible are those insinuations which tend to make it believed that France is eadeaeouring to weaken the political authority of the holy tether which she restored ten years ago, and which is yet under the respectful anardssnehip of her arms. This is perhaps the most unequivocal manifesto in favour of the temporal power of the Pope, as at pre sent constituted, which the French government has mode since the present war was first in contempt*. tion. It is worthy of remark, however, that the Sieele, whose powerful and enthusiastic co-operation in the service of the Italian cause bas been hitherto very graciously accepted by the government, daily argues that the sovereignty of the Roman States, which he and his predecessors have so badly go verned for centuries, is no essential part of the pre.. rogative appertaining to the head of the eatholio church. 'Preis very morning the Slick observes, and very truly, that the Emperor's proclamation of June 8 invited "all Italians" to make their wishes known, and it thinks the demonstrations in the Roman States come very apropos to refute the notion sedulously propagated by ultra montanists that the Austrian prefects and the cardinals were the idols of the Roman people. The Presse takes a similar view, and construes the Siiels as meaning to say expressly that the inhabitants of Romagna are now just u free to say how they wish to be governed as the Milanese, or the people of Parma and Piacenza. The Freese moreover thinke that it does not follow, that because the King of Sardinia may have endeavoured to prevent a mani. festation in his favour in the Roman States, it will therefore necessarily be disregarded now that it has been made. The public mind is less alarmed about the mobil sation of two-thirds of the Prussian army than it was yesterday. It is observed that the measure might have been expected from the time when the government organ in Berlin strenuously denied that the " whole" army was to be mobilised. Al. though it is impossible to entertain a doubt that the placing on a war footing of a force amounting to not leas than 300,000 men is a concession to the apprehen sion of danger which is strongly felt throughout a great part of Germany, there is a disposition to rely with much confident)e on the prudence of Prussia. People say that the mobilisation of her army is the price she pays to the smaller states for the concession to her of that initiative and direction of federal affairs which they have long hesitated to yield to her. It is not unimportant to remark that the article in the Prussian Go:rite Designs as a motive for taking the step in question that it will place Prussia in a pad. tion to exercise proper influence " when the time comes for a settlement of the affairs of Italy." This phrase may be thought to exclude the idea of inter ference in the present war so long as it continues to be localised. The worst aspect of the affair, how ever, appears to me to be that Russia and Prussia are reciprocally threatening each other. Letters from Berlin say that the military measures lately taken by Russia were the really determining cause of the Regent of Prussia's move, and on the other hand a St. Petersburg letter, written, of course, in ignorance of the determination come to at Berlin on June 14, says that the measures re solved upon by Russia will not be definitively exe cuted, " unless Prussia allows herself to be goaded into taking menacing step.." In that case, con tinues this correspondence, " corps of troops will be concentrated on the Prussian frontiers and in Gal. licia, snd a detachment of our fleet will be sent to the Prussian ports in the Baltic." The event alluded to having now happened, it is to be feared that the Russian demonstration will be forthwith made. There is no news whatever from the theatre of war, and it is given out that the Moniteur must not be expected to break silence for several days. A grand battle continues to be expected, but it is not thought that it can come off till towards the end of the month. The Bourse opened with the same favourable dis position which signalised the close yesterday. The Rents rape to 62fr. 90c., but this price was not sus tained; the closing quotations were 621 r. 80c. for cub, and 62fr. 60c. for account—being a rise of 30c. and 15c. Mobilier rose lfr. 25c. The Euteru rail way rose 12fr. 50c.; Southern, 7fr. 50c.; and Northern, 51r.; the other lines scarcely varied. After Bourse hours the Rents was done in the couliate at 621 r. 30c.—being a tall of 30c. from the official closing prices. AUSTRIA.

Several othi r members expteased similar opinions, without there being a single voice in favour of chloroform ; and at length the society, as the ino ' lien of Dr. Barrier, pamed the following resolutioas .—" 1.
