THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 23. This day despatches were received at the Colonial Office from Lieutenant-General DARLING, the Governor of New South Wales. _ At three o'clock this afternoon, the new Ministers held their lint Cabinet Council, at the Foreign Office, in Downing-street. The Council was numerously attended, and continued in deliberation for a considerable period. Rumours are current, that the King of the NIMBLER LANDS has refused the mediation of the five pacific powers, and that he rejects the terms of the armistice. This, we have good grounds for believing, is not true. On the ,trrirv. we are inclined to think, from information before us, that the affairs of Belgium and Holland will be ami cably arranged in a few days. The account of the proceedings in Parliament last night, and the list of the new Ministry, which appear in our Paper this evening, must be perused with no ordinary degree of interest. Combined, these statement; form the most impor tant and interesting matter, which has been presented to the British public, in the columns of a newspaper, for, at least, a quarter of a century. In the House of Lords, we find Lord BROUGHAM 011 the woolsack—the first place of the first order, acquired by no other means, than the fair exertion of talent and unflinching efforts, amidst " good report and evil report," for the ad vancement of those liberal principles, which can alone maintain the analogy which should never be lost, between the institutions and intelligence of society—that self-re medying constitutional principle, which is the birth-right of every Englishman. The proceedings in the House are altogether of a different character from those which we have been so long accustomed to peruse. We have before us, in this debate, an engagement from the Mi nisters of the Crown, under the sanction of his Maize ,Y, to submit to Parliaments measure of reform in the representative system. Lord LANSDOWNE came first in making this important declaration to Parliament ; and in stating his intentions on the subject, he made the following limitation of their ex teat :—that to no reform, and to no proposition for a supposed reform, which did not leave• to the property and education of the country a share, and a preponderating share too, in the legislature, could be es an honest man, looking at the permanent welfare both of the people and of the monarchy, give his consent. (Hear, hear.) Lord GREY followed, and in making a similar declaration of the_ intention of his MAJESTY'S Government, to hitt& duce a Parliamentary Reform, defined the object of the intended measure to be, " to correct the defects which had beenintroduced by time." His Lordship further explained, that, he was not one of those who were inclined to sup port any of those fanciful, but extreme plans of reform, which were' promulgated by some persons out of doors; but which, if adopted, would lead, not to reform, but to anarchy .. and confusion. He never had supported, and be did not now intend to support, the principles of universal suffrage, or of my of those wide and extensive changes which had been propounded in some quarters, from which better things might have been expected. He wished to stand as much as he could, upon the fixed and settled institutions of the country ; and feeling that poen reform was necessary, the principle on which he wished to regulate it—for the task, he be lieved, would be considered on all hands as one of nol ' entail difficulty 7 would be, that of doing as much as was necessary, to secure to the people, a due influence in that council, in which they were more peculiarly represented. A reform, extensive to this degree--nod if it were not ex teasive to this degree it would be ineScient—he wished to see adopted, limited, however, by a doe regard to the settled institetisse of the anatry. 864 act acws P anied tot: greet and.

He pledged himself to the support of public credit. "My Lords," said his Lord ship, " to sum up in a few words, the principles on which I stand will, I trust, be found to be these—Amelioration of Abuses—Promotion of Economy—and the endeavour to preserve Peace, consistently with the honour of the coun try." This, we should conceive, is enough ; and we think Lord RADNOR., who spoke next, was a little too hasty iv developing his surmises, that enough was not intended r for be must be an impatient reformer indeed, who, after waiting for years, will not have the civility to wait, for a few short weeks,—perhaps days,—for the details of those measures of reform and economy, so solemnly pledged, by Lord GRET, in his own name, and that of his colleagues, in his place last night. In the meantime, we are informed, as well by the Morning Chronicle, as from other sources, that one item of the remedy consists in the extension of the elective franchise to great towns; and with respect to re trenchment, we find that the Lords of the Treasury, in stead of having an undefined duty to perform, are now placed at the head of the different Boards of Excise, Stamps, and Customs, which are about to be re-modelled. In the House of Commons, the proceedings were of less interest. They commenced by a series of motions by Mr. RI cz, for new writs to return members, in room of those who are installed in office—the particulars of which we gave In a Second Edition last night, and which we now repeat in our Parliamentary report. On the subject of the late and present administration, we believe that three-fourths of the population of the country will agree with Sir . J. Yo RR it, who stated that " if the government acted as he believed they would, they should have his support. They were pledged to retrenchment and reform. If retrenchment began at the right end, it would be satisfactory to the country. He re grimed that some of the late members of the Administra tion did not form part of the present Government. He also regretted that on the late occasions, when it had been shown that corrupt practices bad existed, with regard to two bo roughs, a different course had not been pursued by the Ad ministration. With regard to the present Ministers, let them act up to their pledges, and he would give them his cordial support." The announcement of the principles last night, on which the new Administration commence their rule, is, we conceive, as definite and satisfactory as could possibly be expected. We are prepared to welcome a reform, just such ass will be consistent with the preservation of the relative interests of the three estates ; and we have declared our opinion, that if the power of election be extended, to include every sentient being, and be not limited only to include the intelligence and inde pendence of the population, we at once fix the fate of at least one of the three estates, and hazard the existence of the other. Such would be one certain effect, with an incalculable mass of present ruin and misery. of what is termed universal suffrage. The other agitated measure of reform, the ballet, adopted by itself, and co existent with the present laws regarding qualifications,liould be still more baneful in its results ; as that would at once transform our Government into a democracy of the worst form, that to which the intelligence and property, would be subordinate to the poverty and ignorance of the country. In this adoption of the ballot, we maintain it would be much more direful in its consequences, than universal suf frage with the ballot ; for then we would bare a Re public, in which the pure majority had the rule, and perhaps abstractedly considered, that might have some advocates ; but only, we are sure, among those who wish to be patriotic enough to sacrifice themselves, and the present happiness, and political importance of their country, to the hypothetical advantages of posterity. We are certainly astonished that the ballot alone could have one sane advocate in the kingdom. That it is a mode of collecting the conscientious suffrages of voters, we admit ; and if we are allowed to elevate the qualification when we adopt it, we might, per haps, tender it productive of no real evil to our established Constitution; but alone, or with an unlimited extension:of the suffrage, it admits of demonstration as much as moral truths are susceptible of demonstration, that its result would be di rectly and inevitably republicanism, either of the worst or best type ; but still, something we hope not contemplated as advantageous to the present interests of the British popu lation. On the distresses of the labouring classes, we perceive such gross modes of reasoning, or rather modes of logomachy, current, that we are every day more and more stimulated to attempt their exposure. These are times, we main tain, when the labouring . . classes should 4 : be in : ntructed, that their distresses are not . attautable . to any clue above .their own situation; but that all are suffering : only that their sufferings are the most percep tible ; that their unfortunate situation is not to be remedied by the volition of the rank just above them, but that as it has been produced by gradual changes in the pursuits—the increase in the numbers—in the distribu tion of the wealth—and in the exertion of the genius of the whole people, it can only be remedied by gradually altering the governing causes, which we have just at tempted to mention. With these views, are we to hear 'with patience the public told, by these who attempt to lead its opinion, that the distress is occasioned by " a reluc tance in landlords to lower their rents ;" and in " the obsti nacy of farmers and land-owners in not making'such coa -1 cessions as are necessary ?" We refer to the ensue from, the Times, as a fair specimen of the mischievous logoomach'y to which we allude. Sydney Papers to the 13th Jun*, and Catiniti Porn by the 27th June, are this day received at the IVenh aN Semis American Coils-haw, and which we have paused..

CITY, ONE O'CLOCK. Our City Politicians and Speculahirs are chiefly em ployed this morning in reading and expounding the speech of Lord Grey, in the House of Lords last night. The light in which the Speculators view his Lordship's exposi is favourable, and produced an improvement in the Funds ; and our Politicians say his Lordship's promises bid fair, and hope that he will be able to aceomplish them. Consols, which left off yesterday at 83e for the account, opened at 831 I, went up to 8311, and at present they are 831, and 831 for next account. We have accounts from Holland, this morning, of Satur day. We de not hear of any news of importance. The Dutch funds were much the same. In the foreign market little doing except in Spanish bonds, which have rather improved, and may be quoted at 15k. CITY, TWO O'CLOCZ Consols reached this morning 831 for the Account, but the Market has rather declined, and they are now 83g. Consols are higher for Money than for the opening—a circumstance which has not occurred these ten years. To morrow a quarter before 4 o'clock the Bulls and Bears will have a great struggle, it being the time for the pulls and calls. Until that period no man in the House can know the state of his books. Thursday is another great day for the speculators, it being settling day in Consols. In the foreign market Spanish Bonds have been done at la, but are at present 151, this improvement is owing to a re port that negoclations are going on at Paris for the acknow ledgment of the Cortez Bonds. The Duchess of Kent and the Princess Victoria and suite, returned to the King's Palace at Kensington on Sunday, from the restidence of Prince Leopold, at Claremont. His MA J EST Y'S CORONA TIOE .—lt is currently reported at the west end of the town that the coronation o f his Ma jesty will take place about the latter end of next March.

Etat GELY.—This nobleman, about whom the public feel so lively an interest, was born at Howick, in North umberland, on the 13th of March, 1764, sad is of course at present in the 67th year of his age. During the whole of a long public life, he has been strongly attached to liberal principles, and has on many occasions been prevented from accepting office, from an inviolable attachment to the inte rests of the people, and from that high sense of honour which prevents him from compromising his public principles to any object of personal aggrandizement. Yesterday Colonel Fitzclarence had a dinner party at his new residence, in Belgrave-street, Belgrave-square, among whom were Lord Hill, the Earl of Essex, Mr. Wyndham, Lord Holland, and Captain Pox. The Rev. T. J. Theobald, Domestic Chaplain to the Right Hon. Lord Viscount Palmerston, was instituted, by presen tation, on Wednesday, the 17th inst. to the Rectory of Nanny, county of Somerset, by the Lord Bishop of Bath and Wells.

Barrington : the Hon. G. Elliot to succeed Mr. Croker, as First Sectikary. Mr. Brougham, we believe, will afford the first instance on record, of any man having risen from the Bar to the woolsack, without having gone through any inferior grade of office. Mr. Heath was yesterday morning made a Sergeant-at. Law In the Court of Common Pleas. Mr. MORN a, SOLICITOR-Gswea*L.—This gentleman received the warmest congratulations of the bar yesterday morning, on his appointment as Solicitor-General to his Majesty. In consequence of an intimation from the Duke of Wel lington, the Marquis of Chandos, who is colonel of the Bucks Yeomanry, has called out that body, which has pro ceeded with all speed into Hampshire. The Police Gazette of yesterday contains an account of the different fires which have taken place in various parts of the country, offering rewards of 1001. for the discovery of each of the offenders, and his Majesty's pardon to any of the accomplices who shall have been the means of bringing the persons who actually committed the deed to justice. We can state, from undoubted authority, that both the late Ministers and their successors have united in directing the Magistrates in the disturbed counties to enter into no compromise with any persons while in 9 a state of commo tion, but to resist all force with force, if necessary ; and that l i one or more Special Commissions will be forthwith issued to try such of the rioters as may have been apprehended. The inmates of Walcot poor-house, Bath, received last week a circular of the most inflammatory, seditious, and even blasphe mous character. It was printed in Portsmouth, but sent London ; and it stated that a similar document had been sent to every poor-house in the kingdom. An order arrived atLambeth-street Office on Saturday, from the Home Department, desiring the attendance of as many officers as could be conveniently spared, in order to be sent into the disturbed districts. Accordingly Lea, Shel north, and Prendergast, were sent to the Home Depart ment, and-Lea wee immediately directed to premed to Good ' wood Hones near Chichester, the seat of his Grace the Duke dßichatesi ELSCTION R10T.801017011 Or SOUTSIWASICTIIIII Dos.—The supporters of the rival candidates for the !nil ,. mutation of Southwark, Messrs.
