The Cabinet Council, which was held at Mr. DISRAELI'S official residence, yesterday afternoon, lasted an hour and ten minutes. This morning the Earl of DERBY had an audience of the QUEEN. There was great activity at the Carlton and Reform Clubs yesterday evening, the rumour gaining ground that Ministers intend to dissolve. Several of our contemporaries give accounts of Ministerial re-construction, but as yet they have received no authentic confirmation, and it is probable that the name of Lord DERBY'S new colleague will not transpire, as the House of Com mons may possibly, by its vote, impose upon the Minister the necessity of submitting to a double re-election. We have received a great many addresses from Members to their Constituents, but as they merely announce that a dissolution is at hand, and that their authors will offer themselves for re-election, We think it unnecessary to reproduce them here. It is said that Ministers have hinted to their -zuPporters the necessity of taking immediate Bt ePa to secure their seats in the next Parliament. There is much speculation as to the probable vomit of V. dissolution. The general impression is that Lord DERBY would gain some 60 seats, but that would not giv e fl Conservative maj o rity, although it would e nable Ministers to con duct the business of the country, as the Radical party are of opinion that nothin g would be gained at this moment by a change which wou ld place the Whigs in office —the moment not having yet arrived for the sincere Liberals to form an Administration. - - We are anxious that our Ballot-friends should lose no time in preparing for the struggle. W e cannot believe that the Radical party will suffer by the dissolution, as the seats gained by Minis ters will be wrested from Palmerstoniaus, and we are disposed to think that many Whigs of the CLA.RENDON-CLANRICARDE school will make wi y fir orough-going :Reformers. At any rate, if any loss 4oea aoorue to the, Liberal party from the impend ing dissolution, Lord PAwarisToN alone will be answerable for it. The only circumstance which could justify CARDWELL'S motion has been re moved by Lord ELLENBOROUGR'S resignation, and it is now only a factious artifice to attempt to saddle the Government with an indiscretion for which that Noble Lord has frankly stated that he alone is responsible. The Palmerstonians exhibit neither moderation nor decency. They are hungering and thirsting for office with all its agremens, and they care not by what means it may be obtained. The conduct of Lord DERBY and his friends when in Opposi tion was very different indeed. They acted fairly and properly, and relinquished many opportunities of annoying, and perhaps overthrowing their political opponents. They manifested a sincere regard for the national interests, looking to the welfare of Great Britain rather than party affairs. But now all that is changed, and even the welfare and happiness of 150,000,000 of our fellow-sub jects are rendered subservient to the petty manoeuvres of the family clique. It is said that there has been a coalition—that the Peelites, or some of them, have come to terms with the Palmerstonians. Mr. CARDWELL is the : hand selected to fling the firebrand. Should it succeed he is to be the new Chancellor of the Exchequer. Sir Ja.xxs GRAHAM, it is stated, is to be the Minister for India, and Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT Colonial Secre tary. But there is " many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip." The compact will not be ratified by the nation, or sanctioned by the independent Liberals. Lord ELLENBOROUGH acted fairly and honourably. With his great experience and foresight he could not avoid seeing the grave mistake into which Lord CANNING had been betrayed, and could not, consistently with his duty, abstain from giving expression to his opinions. No person has dared to support the policy of wholesale spoliation and universal confiscation, not even the aspirant to the Exche quer Office, the would-be financier has not ventured to justify the proclamation that might drive an entire nation to desperation. It is only its puili cation that is complained of, and the circumstances connected with that publication have already been fully explained. It would have been a serious error if the Government bad sanctioned the con fiscation policy of Lord CANNING. He was not an officer of theirs ; and probably on that ac count, and that only, he was treated with too much consideration. It was merely hinted that he should temper justice with mercy ; that he should distinguish between the mutineers and murderers and those who believed that they were taking up arms pro axis et focis, and fur the restoration of their legitimate sovereign. It was the friends (!) of Lord CANNING who com pelled the publicity of the so-called censure which elicited the facts of the case. They are the parties really responsible, and must sustain the entire burden. While recognising the chivalrous and highly honourable conduct of Lord ELLENnononan, we think that he committed, and his colleagues sanctioned, a serious error. He should not have resigned, nor should it have been accepted. We believe that the people would have endorsed his policy, and that they would have rejoiced in re taining the services of so able and experienced an administrator. Lord CANNING'S proclamation was published without waiting to know the feeling of the Govern ment, to which he ought to be the servant, but strove to be the master; and all the prejudicial results that must have followed that inauspicious po licy would have occurred, if the answering despatch were suppressed, or we should rather say, not pub lished 1 But whatever may be the feeling on that point—whether Lord ELLENBOIWITGH was right or wrong in the publication, no one impeaches the correctness of his views respecting the actual facts. He has resigned, and his colleagues are neither open to the censure or entitled to the credit of the course. Alone he did it, and he has nobly insisted on bearing the penalty. Nothing but the most factious opposition, the most greedy craving after office could justify any further pro ceedings. But it is impossible to measure the anxiety for office amongst a certain class of poli ticians, and although it would be deeply injurious to the nation, we could almost wish that the Sabbath-day conspirators might have a tem porary success in order that the House of Commons might be purified, and that the ♦arious constituencies might have the opportunity of rejecting with disdain, men who should never have obtained their suffrages. Should the malcontents succeed, there will, of course, be a general election, and that will pro duce a large infusion of new blood into the House of Commons, and render it, what it cannot at pre sent be said to be, a fair exponent of the opinions and wishes of the people. There has been another meeting of independent liberal members of the House of Commons, and it is said that some difference of opinion prevailed as to the course to be adopted with reference to Mr. CARDIVELL'S factious motion. We can scarcely conceive the cause of such dif ference, or how any consistent and in dependent liberal could desire to create a Palmerstonian Dictatorship or restore the despot-loving lord CLARENDON to office. But there are wheels within wheels, and the real motive power, the operative influences, are as yet unknown. We think better, however, of the party, than to suppose that they will suffer themselves to be made the tools either of Peelites or Palmer stonians. We cannot conceive that Mr. BRIGHT will seek to drive the inhabitants of Oude to despera tion, or that Mr. ROEBUCK would consent to wholesale spoliation. Mr. HE ADLA 31 does not desire to establish a dictatorship or a perpetual Premier. Nor will Mr. FORSTER whip either in or out, to produce a family C a bi ne t with CL ARENDON, CLANRIOARDE, WOOD, and L E WIS, holding high p os iti ons, and the rival Whigg, Lords PA .LMERSTON and JogN RUSSELL drawing lots for the Premiership. They have a higher mission. There is a nobler prize before them. If they act r fabir is, layandthey willhonour- ably, without prejudice or treated prove them with cont their h thoseand n wb e o . glect a salutary lesson. All that Lord DERBY the e s Lisibfaeirralpel.ay,Haendeffheeresegekoos l it at the measures. hands b oi of e maintains the honour of the countr y h at home and abroad. No party in either House of Parliament has an absolute majo rity ; and there is always the possibility of an undue combination, or rather conspiracy, succeeding. But, as Mr. DISRAELI once remarked, "England does not love coali tions." The feeling within the House differs widely from that abroad, and if the voice of public opinion is to be attended to, the Right Honourable and Honourable Gentlemen must alto gether change their tactics. We look, however, with confidence to the consistent Liberals, and trust that the course to be adopted tomorrow will fully justify the reliance hitherto placed in them by the community at large. We understand that there will be another meeting, to-morrow, of the Independent Liberals at the House of Commons. Sir HENRY LYTTON BULWER'S nomination as the successor of Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE at Constantinople, is beyond all question the most judicious, as it is certain beyond all doubt to be the most popular among all Lord MALSLESBURY'S new diplomatic appointments. It is the selection of one of the most skilled diplomatists of his age to one of the most difficult and responsible posts that could by possibility be confided to an Am bassador. It is the choice not only of the right man for the right place, but precisely, too, at the right moment. The fitness of things has seldom been more strikingly, as it has perhaps never been more satisfactorily, illustrated in this most com plicated and exquisitely balanced of all the politi cal departments. The nomination of his Excel lency Sir HENRY BULWER as her Britannic MA JESTY'S envoy to the Sublime Porte, takes rank, in truth, at once among the conspicuous success rapidly achieved by the DERBY Government. It will be long remembered, we believe, as last but not least from that remarkable catalogue—the list of the triumphs won within the narrow space of a single quarter of a year by the Liberal-Conserva tive Administration. The release of PARK and WATT from their long Neapolitan incarceration— the resolute diminution of the Income Tax in spite of a formidable but evaded deficiency—the prompt concession of the old bugbear Property Qualification, as a first instalment of Parliamen tary Reform—the determined rejection of every idea of diminished expenditure in the maintenance of our military and maritime armaments—the preservation of our alliances, simultaneously with the direct vindication of our independence ; these, and other remarkable achievements, have within less than three months secured to a Cabinet sud denly called into existence out of an abrupt and wholly unexpected emergency a reputation com pounded at once of liberality and resolution, of patriotism and promptitude. Together with these eminently noteworthy acts boldly adven tured upon forthwith immediately upon the in stallation of the new Ministry, there have been others of a noless significant character, proceedings which have confirmed that reputation in the na tional jadgment, giving it a colour as well as a form ; in some instances expanding credit to popularity, and in others even heightening respect into admiration. It can hardly be surprising, however, that much, even in so short a period, should have been accomplished by a Government, having as its chief a leader no less daring and chivalrous than the Earl of DERBY—a Chancellor of the Exchequer in every way, whether as a de bater, or as a financier, alike skilled in fiscal finesse and Parliamentary rhetoric, like the right Hon. Member for Buckinghamshire—a Foreign Secre•• tary as energetic as Lord MALMESBURY—a Colonial Minister, as full of promise, and as affluent in device as the Noble Lord the member for King's Lynn—a Home Administrator as statesman-like, in every thought and action, as Mr. Secretary WA.LPOLE : to say nothing of this Cabinet having simultaneously substituted, for Sir CHARLES Wool), at the Admiralty—an administrator as earnest and indefatigable as Sir Joux PAHINGTON. Determination, civicism, energy, promptitude— with such a change—were the very results natu rally, if not inevitably, to be expected. And so it certainly came to pass, that no sooner were the DERBY Ministers installed in office than they at once began the series of labours upon which we have seen them rapidly adventuring, and the chief among which we have here once more succinctly enumerated. In no department of the Administration, how ever, have larger alterations, modifications, repa rations been effected, since February, than in the particular department presided over by the Earl of MALMESBURY. A despatch that ought certainly to have been written by his predecessor, was writ ten by him, immediately upon his installation in Downing-street, as Foreign Secretary. British subjects, who ought, as undeniably, to have been long before restored to liberty and their own land by that same predecessor of Lord MALMESBURY, were quickly extricated from imprisonment by Lord MALMESBURY in his capa city as the official protector (in fact and not simply by name) of the much talked-of civis Eritannicus. Another British subject, in the person of Mr. HODGE, was, with equal speed, elsewhere relieved from durance vile by the Noble Earl the chief of the Foreign Department. Under his auspices, moreover, old alliances and new alliances have been alike satisfactorily maintained ; and yet, simultaneously with the accomplishment of all this, Lord MALMESBURY has, in the short space of one quarter, contrived to remodel and reorga nise a considerable portion of the whole diplo matic service of England. Scarcely, in the first instance, and at one fell swoop, has Lord MAL MESBURY redistributed five great embassies, when he nominates to a sixth, of the very first im portance, one, moreover, invested with the most solemn responsibilities, the most judiciously and sagaciously selected of all the diplomatic servants of the Crown appointed afresh under the Earl of DERBY'S Administration. No one assuredly will gainsay the accuracy of this assertion. What ever may be thought anywhere of the substitu tion of Lord R. LOFTUS at Vienna in place of Sir H. SEYMOUR—of Sir J. CRAMYTON at St. Peters burg in the room of Lord WODEHOUSE—of Mr. HowARD at Florence in the room of Lord NOR MA.NBY-of Mr. BUCHANAN at Madrid in the room of Lord HownE2r—and of Mr. ELLIOTT at Copenhagen in the room of Mr. BUCHANAN—it will scarcely be denied by any caviller, however captious, however exacting, however depreciating, that in choosing Sir H. BIILWER as Lord STRAT FORD DE REDCLIFFE'S successor the Noble Earl at the head of the Foreign-office has hit upon the man of men who ought, beyond all others, to have been selected particularly at this juncture as her MAJESTY'S diplomatic representative at Constanti nople. His Excellency will tido with him to the Golden Horn very nearly 30 years of diplomatic experience. His distinguished career as a diplo matist having begun in his extreme youth, in 1829, when, as attaché, ho was nominated suc cessively to the embassies at Berlin, at Brussels, and the Hague. His first post of importance, however, was the second of those three, that of his special 'mission to Brussels, whither he pro ceeded in 1830, and where it was he watched, with youthful but sagacious vigilance, the progress of the Belgian revolution. Secretary bf Legation and Charge d'Affaires in 1835 in that same capi tal, he there continued intlatltBw3o7 (more-foldca thanpacity for two years —namely, until a h s as Se n c o re w t , ar i y tt to the v 2 e O ry ye E ar m s b a a g s o sy ), over when whichileen h t e been chosen to preside, the consp icuous an d im portant Embassy at Constantinople. There it w was, when simply Secretary of Legation, that his Excellency negotiated the commercial treaty between the Porte and England. Subsequently named, i n 1839—a decade from the date of his entrance into the service—Secretary to the Em bassy at Paris, he was three times interim Minis ter at the French Court during the occasional absence of the Ambassador. In 1843 he himself inaugurated his career as Minister Plenipotentiary. That notable career is the reason for his present nomination. As Ambassador at Madrid, as Am bassador at Washington, as Ambassador at Flo rence--and yet more recently, and, if possible, more remarkably, as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary in the reorganisation and reconstitution of the Danubian Principalities Sir HENRY LYTTON BUMPER has, during 15 years, so acted in those remote regions as to win the admiration of his country and the approbation of his Sovereign. This approbation her Most Gra cious MAJESTY signalised ten years ago by his Excellency's investiture with the dignity of Knight Grand Cross of the Bath ; but it has now been yet more signally marked by his admission, on the 11th inst., to kiss hands on being appointed her MAJESTY'S Ambassador at Constantinople. THE CAMBRIDGE HOUSE PLOT. -A RELIGIOUS MOVEMENT. The candour with which we always treat our political opponents, obliges us to notice the anxious desire which the Palmerstonian place-hunters have manifested to allow no act of theirs to pass un hallowed. Thus it was that Sunday was the day selected for the meeting at Cambridge House, at which the plan of operations was settled, and, by a felicitous combination, the services of an EvangeliCal Intriguer were secured to re commend the spoilation of Oude to the cordial approbation of the House of Lords. In justice to Mr. CARDWELL, we are bound to observe that the Right Honourable Gentleman showed the same laudable desire to consecrate his designs upon Downing-street, and that he did his best to celebrate Ascension Day by the restora tion of the Place-hunters to office. MR• HOWARD GLOVER'S ANNUAL COACERT. Those who say the English are not a musical people "begin their nomenclature much too soon," for certainly the aspect of our present metropolitan musical stars afford favourable augurship touching the state of our harmonic ascendancy. We need not take a weary walk to meet with numberless temples where Apollo is t aramount lord and master, and to hear unequivccal s i g nifications that we have music in our na t i ona l sou l. We have opera on all sides— in all shapes. Her Majesty's Theatre, redolent of Meyerbeer and Mozart ; the Royal Italian, rising like a great phoenix, about to be also vitalised with the same classical elixir of musical life ; and Old Drury seriously adapting Verdi to the popular vernacular. Then wo have St. James's-hall, Exeter-hall, St. Martin's-hall, Canterbury-ball, Sacred Harmonic Societies, Philharmonic Societies, Musical Soirees, Crystal Palace Concerts, and Handel Festivals; with German bands, demi-piancs, and barrel-organs unlimited. Surely these afford something like indications that we are not quite deaf or dumb on the subject of sweet sound ; and though our " Tom Togs" may not indulge in the classical strainspt Tasso, as they pull up and down our mulatto-complexioned Thames ; yet we are not deficient of vocal spontaneity of a rather imposing kind, poured from the throats of myriads of little and big boys, who delight in making the grand streets of this noble city echo to the romantic themes of "Jump Jim Crow," " Pop goes the weasel," or " Old Dog Tray." With these fully developed symptoms of musical plethora we cannot submit to be denominated as a people " fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils ;" and if positive and particular evidence were required to prove our love of the divine art, the audience composed of "the people" at - ending Howard Glover's gigantic concert at Drury-lane, yesterday morning, would be quite sufficient witness. We never beheld a stronger exhibition ofdelight and appreciation, and though, with genuine John Bull heartiness, there was a tendency among " the gods" to encore every thing, we could but admiro the advanced state of intelligence and conduct which caused them, on the slightest intimation, to reccalcile their genial im pulse with conventional decorum, to listen with at tenion and applaud with discretion. The concert was an excslleut one for the purpose it was intended to serve, and in every way eminently successful. Among the more prominent demands on our attention we may specify the " Duo Brilliante" from Les Huguenots, for pianoforte rnd played by Miss Arabella Goddard anti M. Sainton, which elicited rounds of rapturous approval. Miss Dolby in the beautiful aria " Mills Vole" was splendidly effective, and Madame Rudersdorff, Miss Messent, Miss Louisa Pyne and the other lady ar tists did ample justice to their various parts, ex citing enthusiastic applause. Madame Gassier displayed her wonderful power of note execution in a fantasia ou Irish airs which evoked an encore, as did also the ballads sung by Sims Reeves ; by the bye we should like to find the individual who can hear this great and pure tenor singer, and dis pute our right to being musical. The Misses Rowcroft made a most gratifying debut. Their performoace of "Carlo Vive," " would that my love," "The Young Recruit," Bid me Discourse," and other compositions gave some scope to allow a criticism of their powers. Miss Julia Rowcroft possesses, we think the finest vocal orgsn of the two, and will doubtless sing well when time toad experience shall have matured her natural gifts. Miss Rowcroft has a slender and delicate soprano voice which she manages with taste and skill, and we may truthfully congratulate both the young ladies on the highly favourable impression they have made on the public. M. Benedict, Mr. Alfred Mellon, and Mr. Howard Glover were the conduc tors and accompanists. It is consequently need less to say the arrangements were most admirable and perfect. The whole concert was a most satisfac tory entertainment, regarding equally the quality of the programme, the ratio of the ptices, and the gratification of the audience. A Cabinet Counc;l was held yesterday at the official residence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer in Down ing-street. The Ministers present were—the Earl of Derby, the Lord Chancellor, the Marquis of Salisbury, the Earl of Hard wicks, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Secretary Walpole, the Earl of Malinesbury, Lord Stanley, General Peel, Sir John Pakington, the Right Hon. J. W. Henley, and Lord John Manners. It was reported after the Cabinet had separated yes terday that Lord Stanley would succeed Lord Ellen borough as President of the Board of Control, and that Sir Bulwer Lytton would be appointed Secretary for the Colonies, the difficulty of securing his return for Hert fordshire being averted by his advancement to the Peer age. We believe, however, that these statements are at least premature, and that it is not yet decided how the vacancy caused by Lord Ellenborough's retirement will be filled up. The Earl and Countess of Derby entertained his Ex cellency the Duke of Malakhoff at dinner last evening at their mansion in St. James' -square. There were present to meet the gallant ambassador their Serene Highnesfes Prince and Pr , 'mess Saxe Weimer, the Marquis of liar tington, the Earl cf Malme , bury, the Earl of Jersey and Lady Clementine Villiers, the Countess of Wil'on and Laiy Katherine Grey B. , ,erton, Lord Otho Fitz gerald, Colonel the Hon. Fred. A. Thesiger, &c. THE RESOLUTION OF CENSURE ON THE MINISTRY.— We are enabled authoritatively to announce that Mr. Bright will give bin best support to the Administra tion, in opposition to the resolution of censure that Mr. Cardwell is to move on Friday evening.

The Cologne Gazette states that the Emperor of Russia has dec►ded that theatres shall be established in the 19 chief towns of the governments of Great Russia, four in Little Russia, four in the Baltic provinces, five in the kingdom of Kagan, three in the kingdom of Astrakan, five in Southern Russ a, eight in Western Russia, Fin. land, and Sibe ia, and five in Poland.

FREE SCHOOL —The anniver sary dinner was hell at Willis's Rooms, James's, on Tuesday last; Mr. J. Roebuck, ALP., in the chair, sup ported by Sir Anthony Rithechild, Mr. Alderman Salomor.s, Mr. Roupell, M.P., and a numerous party of gentlemen of Jewish and CtiriAian creeds. The chair man dwelt with much emphasis upon the political and educational status of the Jewish community, aad was successful in obtaining a charitable response, an amount of 6501, being collected for the funds if the institution.

THE CALCUTTA AND CHINA MAILS. The Peninsular and Oriental Company received the following despatch from Marseilles this (Thurs day) morning : " The steamship Euxine, with the Calcutta acid China mails, arrived at Marseilles at 9 this morning. "The mails left for London 10." MALTA. MALTA, MAY 12. Lord Lyons, in the Royal Albert, with the Cen turion and Conqueror, has returned, pursuant to telegraph order, from Corfu, and has been cruising in Malta Roads since yesterday. The Princess Royal has left for Alexandria, with 654 rank and file of the 57th, for India. A reinforcement of 3,700 Ottoman troops, in a steam line-of-battle ship and transport, passed Corfu on the 7th for Kleck, on the Adriatic. The Malta Times publishes a proclamation from Sir John Gaspard Le Marchant, dated April 30, announcing that he has assumed the administration of the Government in the island. It also contains notices of the appointment of Lieut.-Colonel Thomas Le Marchant (unattached) to be his Excallency's private secretary, and of Captain Wilford Brett, 76th Regiment, as his pri vate secretary. The same journal states that, on the Ist, Sir William Reid, the late governor, em barked in a very unostentati ;us manner on board the Benares steamer for Southampton. The Co quette arrived at Malta on the 25th, announcing the departure from Tunis of the squadron under Lord Lyons ; and the next day the Conqueror and Centurion came to anchor at the entrance of the grand harbour. The Royal Albert, the Princess Royal, and the other vessels remained in the offing. Some hours after the ships made sail for the northward and eastward, Corfu being said to be their destination.

FRANCE. PARIS, WEDNESDAY. The Minister of War has received through the Governor-General of AL 4 eria a report from Gen. DeAmarets, giving an account of the slight insurre,c tionary movemenr, which recently broke out among the tribes of the Babors, and to which we have May briefly alluded : _ _ " The report commences by stating that the tribes engaged in this movement had also taken a very active part in the insurrection of 1856, and when that was put down the very individuals who were appointed cheiks became the secret instigators of discord and have been the organisers of the p *sent outbreak. The report goes on to state that Captain Capclepont, who commanded the small outpost of Takitount, having received in tormation that the signal for the insurrection had been given among the tribes, and that it was to break out ou the eve of the fast of tue Ramadan, took the neces , nry measures of defence, and at the same time sent off an express to Setif to inform General Desmarets of what was in agitation. The captain visited such cheiks of the neighbouring tribes as still remained firm to their allegiance, and received from them a promise that they would take up arms to prevent any violation of their territory by the rele,ls and would assist the French. At daybreak of the day fixed on by the insurgents for their attack, they advances on the position held by the French, but were received by the two companies under Captain Capdepont with such a steady and uninterrupted lire that their forward movement was checked, and finding that the native tribes were taking part against them, they considered their case hopeless and retreated, and by the time the reinforcements under Gen. Desmarets had come up, they had all dispersed. The cheiks above al luded to have since Wen all arrested and lodged in the prison of Setif," • BOURSE, May 12.—The following were the closing quotations : 4,- 1 , per Cents 93 25 Do. end month — 3 per Cent. ..... 69 rio Do. end month 69 65 Bank Shares .

SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the Bth are absorbed with the Ministerial crisis The general opinion was that it would be solved the riext thy in a coun cil of Ministers to be held under the presidency of the Queen ; but it was not c msidered improbable by some persons that all the Mioisters, except the President of the Council and the Minister of Grace and Justice, would resign, whilst others held that a total change of Ministry was to be expected. In the event of all the Ministers resigning, the Duke de Valencia (Narvaez) and M. Martinez de la Rosa were spoken of as likely to be entrusted with the formation of a cabinet. The Ministerial papers say that the suspension of the Cortes was not likely to last longer than a week ; but as the President of the Congress, M. Bravo Murillo, wiio is very influential, is hostile to the Cabinet, and as Ministers feared a check in the Aicludes (the French frontier) railway affair, an indefinite ad journment, should M. Istuti'z remain in power, was considered probable. Count de San Luis (Sartorius) and M. Bravo Murillo had effected a reconciliation, in the belief that circumstances rendered their return to office favourable. The prograsists, the liberals, and the democrats, on their part, were delighted at the turn which events had taken. The Esperanza had been seized. Some of the journals having stated that M. Cortina had been liberally rcennpensed by Queen Christina for having defended her in the parliamentary In vestigation into her conduct instituted in 1854, that gentleman had communicated to the Espana a copy of a letter addressed by him to the Queen, in which her Majesty expresses her heartfelt gra titude to him, and c - unplains that he would not .ac cept any recompense, except her portrait, which was of little pecuniary value. A letter from Broussa of 21st ult. says :—"Dur ing the last week we have had frit.4ll ful weather here ; rain h as f a ll en i ncessan tl y night and day, rivers have overflowed, and communications with tLe interior are interrupted. Two days back at three o'clock in the morning we had a shock o f earthquake, but it wa s n o t anything serious. Six hours later, we had a much sharpr one, and it threw clown three old liou-es and some walls. 'this morning at about half-past three we had two new shocks, and 25 minutes later a third much longer and shi,reer. Th simi lar last was followed by a noise si lar to distant artillery. The three last shocks were vertical." Halil-Bey, the Turkish charge d'aff-tires in this," says an Athens letter in the German Journal of Frankfort, " will probably be appointed ambas sador extraordipaiy at St. Petersburg. The dis pute between Greece and Turkey relative to the jurisdict.on of the consulates is to be subjected to the arbitration of the protecting powers." The Germanic Ditt, in the sitting of Monday, adopted a resolution to the effect that it c..uld not admit . Ve pretension of the municifal Council of Mentz, that the Germanic Con federation should give an indemnity for the damage done by the expl , ,sion of the powder magazine in that city in November last ; but th Afr motives of equity it would contri ,, ute 161 3 000 florins to the -übsc on behalf of tue suffezers. Baron de Scheele, who for some years was Hano verian envoy to the Germanic Diet, and Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs in Hanover, and who in 1853 retired into private life, has just been appointed by the Prince of T( ur and Taxis Director-general of the Post-office at Frankfort-on the-Maine. A letter from Stockholm says :—" M. Due, the Minister of State, no ]or ger appears to have any chance of being appointed Minister at Pars ; on the contrary, Baron Bonde, first gentleman of the Chamber, and ex-intendant of the Theatre Royal, is spoken of for the post. It was after a mission of the baron to Paris that General Can robert visited Sweden, and that the treaty of alliance between that country and France was signed. It is said that high influences in Paris have been used to bring about the choice of Baron Bonde for the important post now vac-int." AUSTRALIA. PLYMOUTH, MAY 12.

She has experienced contrary winds nearly thJ whole passage from long. 127 15 to 117 6 W., and from lat. 61 to 66 S. She fell in with great numbers of icebergs, some of which were of immense size. In lat. 66 S. she met a heavy field of ice. The Istamboul has a general cargo of wool, fal low, &c., 1,200 oz. of golidust, and 131 p-issengets —viz., 30 saloon, including Mr. R.

THE MEDITERRANEAN. The Teviot steam-ship, belonging to the Royal Mail Company, and commanded by Captain Charles Taylor, arrived at Sou thamptou yes'erday morn ing, shortly after 6 o'clock. She left Alexandria on the 28th ult., and Malta on the 2d iust. The Teviot brings 80 first-class passengers and four ser vants. Among the passengers are Capt. and Mrs. Scott and child, Mr. Croasdill and family, Mr. and Mrs. Coveny and family, and Mr. and Miss Tuck, from Sydney ; Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton and family, Mr. and Mrs. Bailey and ftmily, Mr. and Mrs. J truieson, Mr. and Mrs. Fairb tira and family, Irom Melbourne; Lieut. C. Read, Mr. W. Sabou radiare, and Mr. John Lamb, from Galte ; Mr. Gilbertson, from Alexandria. On freight she has 49 boxes of specie, value 207,480/. ; also 38 hales of wool, three bales of flax, two boxes jewellery, and 30 packages < f sundries. H.M S. Medina and the usual Egyptian fleet were in harbour at Alexandria. The fleet under the command of Admiral Lord Lyons sailed from Malta on the Ist inst. for Corfu. Her Majesty's steamer Simoom and the Royal Mtn. steamer Wye were at Malta. In consPqn•qice of the very severe weather ex perieaced by the Teviot on her outward voyage she did not reach Alexandria until the rn, , rning of the 28th ult. when she found that the Australian mails, which had reached that port from Suez on the 25th, had been forwarde i to Southampton by the Penin sular and Oriental Company's steamer Benares, winch left the evening b(-fore the Teviot's arrival. 'Lle result of the present failure, so far as British in terests are concerned, is that a delay of 24, and in many cases 41 hours is incurred in the delivery of our Australian correspondence after its arrival in England, the whole of the mails having had to be seat to London for distribution. The commercial public and the community in general having de rived great benefit from the new arrangement of sorting these mails on board during the voyAge home from Alexandria, so as to be rea.ly for distri butiou immediately on the steatner's arrival at Southampton, much disappointment is naaorally felt upon this occasiim, and it is hoped that imme diate steps will be taken to prevent the recurrence of so serious an irregularity. We understand that efforts are being made at Sydney and elsewhere to organise a mail communication between the colo nies and England, via Panama. AMERICA. (BY ELT CTRIC TELEGRAPH.

WATERFORD COUNTY.—A conservative candi date will come forward for this county with almoit a certain yof secceess. Mr. Flutchinsou's defeat by 32 in 1852 will on this oieasion be amply re trit,ved.

CHARGE OF SCUTTLING A SHIP. William Lakey, seaman, late master of the Clipper, was indicted for feloniously scuttling a ship, with a view to defraud the insurers of the vessel. Mr. Wilde, Q C., with Mr. Bodkin, appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Sergeant Ballantine defended the prisoner. Mr. Foster, an insurance broker, proved that the Clipper was insured for 8001., and the prisoner's effects also for 1501. The ship was lost afterwards, and a claim was made. Mr. John Lacey, the owner of the ship, said she was valued at 1,2001. at Lloyds, and cost in reality in build ing 1,9001. The prisoner had a hundred pound share in the vessel, He had known the prisoner 30 years. Witnesses having been examined to prove the striking of the vessel off Dungeness, Captain Nett, R.N., said—l am an agent for Lloyd's at Deal. On the 26th of March operations were com menced to raise the Clipper. On the 27th she was got up and brought ashore. The first thing discovered was, the ballast port was open. In ordinary circumstances it is closed. We then found a hole in the starboard quarter. It was a large one, about two inches wide. It had been cut with a ohisel or some sharp instrument. The hole was immediately under the captain's cabin. On removing the ballast, which had shifted, two auger holes were discovered. After the holes were stopped the vessel made no water. A shipwright, named Sedgwick, confirmed Captain Nott's statement. A witness named PaHatt, proved finding an auger on board, which exactly fitted the holes in the ship's bottom. Mrs. Caroline Laxton, the wife of the mate of the Clipper, said—ln consequence of certain circumstances she met the prisoner at the London-bridge station with a cart, and there received a number cf boxes and other things his property. They were taken to her home. In a short time afterwards the prisoner came to her house, and told her to burn all the boxes and tear up all books bearing his Dame. He took away a chronometer. Wit ness refused to do as the prisoner desired, as questions might be welted about the books belonging to the ship. John Chesney, cook on board the Clipper, said the prisoner was master of the vessel. When she got to Dungenfss Point, having had to put back on the voyages the prisoner went down below and bored a hole in the ship's side with an auger. He (witness) also bored a hole. The water then came in, and we returned to the cabin. The ship became very full cf water, and the prisoner then suggested, as no port could be reached, , hat the vessel should be abandoned, as she, being leaky, might prove a coffin for the whole of the crew. He assisted the prisoner to knock out the ballast port of the ship. In cross-examination the witness said the ship wag made water-tight before she left port. As she was out ward bound she had to call at Newport for coals. The vessel leaked before we started. When we got as far an the Isle of Wight the wind blew strong from the W.S.W. The crew got tired of pumping, and we put back to to Dungeness. The men kept pumping all night. The pumps acted well. Eventually the ship sank in three fathcms water. Johd Manhood, the mate of the clipper, said he volt* to the prisoner about the ship letting in 60 much water, and he said the best thing to do was to scuttle her and let her go, for if she was t, go into dock the bill for repairs would be more than she was worth, and it would be the ruin of him. He heard the orders given to knock out the ballast port, and it was knocked out. • The else for the prosecution having closed, Mr. Sergeant Ballantine made a very powerful appeal to the jury on behalf of the prisoner, and contended that he might have committed an error of judgment, but he denied that he was influenced by any wicked or Imhof° ful motive. A number of witnesses were called who gave the Pri• eoner the highest character for honesty and integrity. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and he was sea' tenced to eight years' penal servitude. NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) Patrick O'Brien, an inspector of police, was indicted for stealing two pieces of bacon, the property of PIIA Page, a cheesewonger, residing in Westbourne-grove' road. Mr. Metcalfe appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Gifford defended the prisoner Mr. Metcalfe having stated the case against the pri soner, called Wm. Rutnmins, who said I am in the employ of ND . ' Page, a cheesemonger, in Westbourne-grove-road. Oa the msreing of the day in question I placed a quantitl of bacon, in pieces, on the board in front of the shoP window, and in a short time afterwards I missed a piec e of about three pounds—it was cut from the shoulder. Mr. Page said—l keep a shop in the Westbourn s• grove-road. It is a corner shop, one side is in Wes t ' bourne-grove-road and the other in Monmouth-rea d. Galway -road is in an opposite direction. Sarah Wright—l am a married woman and I resid e at 45, Weatbourne-grove road, it is the next house to th e prosecutors. I have known the prisoner, by sight (vat for some time. On the 19th of April I saw the prisone r in his inspector's uniform pass our shop door twice wit' his arms quite full. He went to Mr. Page's shop, whie lli he passed and, having crossed the Monmouth-ros a o, he re-crossed the road, and I then saw him takea'soiece el bacon from the window and place it under the skirt of his frock coat. He went towards the Galway road, an a in a few minutes he returned with a bundle under hi e arm. He stood five or six minutes before g r. Page's shop again and then he took another pie e bacon, which he covered with the bundle, and w alks° away towards the Galwaay-road. I afterwards went to Mr. Page and told him of the circumstances by directio n of my husband. A constable happened to be passing e t the time, and Mr. Page told him he bad been r obbsee The first piece I saw the prisoner take was a square piece, and the second was a long fat piece. I though' at first, it was merely a joke the first time, but shortly after the second piece was stolen. I ran to Mr. rag e : and told him of the circumstance. I was standing ey our shop door, so I had a complete view of all that tools place. Cross-examined by Mr. Gifford—The prisoner passed me in all five times. I saw my husband after lO W him take the first piece, but he thought it was morel/ a joke, and said he wanted to bring it back. I did not see Mr. Page come outside the shop between the first and second taking. I saw his wife. I saw Mr. Pag e come out before the offence was committed. I saw the policeman to whom Mr. Page spoke before I ran across the road to inform him of the robbery. My husband was never fined for assaulting the polices but he ha's been fined five shillings for something connected with the police and a drunken man. The magistrate told my husband he could indict the police' wan for perjury if he could procure any witnesses to prove that he had spoken falsely. I was standing at the shop door with my baby. For a short time we kept marine-store shop but it was never searched by the police. Re-examined by Mr. Metcalfe—The shop was Def er searched by the police. We Rover had the slightest complaint laid against us by the police. The reason did not go over to Mr. Pegs until 20 minutes elapae 4 was because I thought Inspector O'Brien would bring the bacoe back.
