In the latter article, however, an improvement of about 6d. per cwt. may be quoted. The publio sales of silk have gone off very languidly, scarcely any biddings having bleu made, but a moderate busines has been doing by private contracts at about former rate .

The usual quarterly sales of Foreign and Colonial wool ceintneuce i yesterday aftereooe, when ab :ut 2,180 bales of Sydney quality were summated to Inulic compe'i inn. The etteudtece of bteh home and foreign buyers was rather large, but very li Ile animation was evinced in tee bidding-, as buyers appear to ac' with gee a. canteen.

Accounts from Liverpool report that the Cotton Merl:et yes erday manifested an active epee srance, and prices continued to improve. The sales am .unted to 10.000 bale, 2,000 of which were taken by the speculators. The Railway Share Market closed steadily, and a good business was transacted at about previous rates. At the Bank of England yesterday there were no receipts of gold ; but on the contrary a small amount, viz., 40,0001. was withdrawn for the Purpose of transmission to the Continent.

This day the annual meeting of the Chartered Bank of India, Australia, and China, took place, when a report was presented, which stated that agencies had been established at Bombay and Cal cutta, and that the certificate of the treasury had been received as to half the capital being paid up. The other 101. would be payable within two years from the date of the certificate, but the directors Would not make a call on that amount for twelve Months after the commencement of business. The b alance-sheet showed the assets to be 323,2071. 13s. 4 cis Some discussion took place, and the report Was adopted. At the meeting of the South Yorkshire, Don caster, and Goole Railway Company to-day, a dividend of 31 per cent. on the ordinary capital was declared. The gross revenue receipts of the half /ear, compared with 1856, showed an increase of 4 ,488/. 15s. 7d.

L aurie? attempt against the security of a frien‘i:y - State. " Tue events in question are sufficiently known, so that it will bs.ersonh to retrace them summarily in this despatch. " On the evening of the 25th of Jane, last year, the Sardinian steamboat Cagliari, belonging to Rubattino and Co., sailed from Genoa fog its periodical destination of Cagliari (Sardinian island) and Tunis. "After a few hours 25 out of 32 passengers attacked the captain, turned him out of his command, made themselves masters of the ship, and, intrusting the helm to one of their party, sailed to Posse. " There having set at liberty 400 prisoners they sailed in their company to Sapri, where they set at liberty Captain Sitzia and his vessel. As soon as Sitzia re covered his free action by the cessation of the violence exercised upon him he sailed towards Naples with the intention of informing the authorities of what had hap pened. In the course of the voyage two Neapolitan men of war, the Tancredi and the Ettore Fieratnosca, cap tured the steamboat and carried her to Naples. There she was sequestered and the crew and passengers ar rested and brought before the Criminal Court. " In your despatch of July 4 (No. 41) you informed that Commendatore Carafe, when acquainting you with this capture, added that the Cagliari had been seized in the waters of Policastro ; and in thesame despatch S ot stated that the Director of the Navy had told you that the ship was still in that place. These circumstance - - that is to key, the capture of the ship on the spot where the landing of the rebels took place, and in waters where the Neapolitan Government could exercise its jurisdic tion—prevented me from remonstrating against the act of the Neapolitan men-rl-war. For this reason I merely interposed my individual request for the speedy resto. ration of the ship and cargo to its proprietors, and for the liberation of the innocent crew and passengers. Afterwards, when Commendatore Carafa, both through you and his Majeaty's Charge d'Affaires at Turin, brought to my notice that the Neapolitan courts had been called to decide the question, and that the ordinary means of reason and justice would be applied to the case without delay, I made no further remonstrance, relying on the assurances and loyalty of the Sicilian Cabinet. "The prohibition of all intercourse either with Capt. Sitzia or the other Piedmontese subjects kept in strict confinement—a prohibition which extended to yourself as well as our consul, in spite of reiterated applications —excluded his Majesty's Government from the surest and simplest means of clearing up the facts, and from taking the necessary resolutions on this grave matter. " Meanwhile it came to our knowledge, on reliable, though unofficial authority, that the Cagliari had been seized on the high seas, and after the captain had resumed his command of the vessel on the cessation of the violence exercised by the conspirators. As on this hypothesis the question was substantially changed, I was in daily ex p of spontaneous explanations on the part of the Neapolitan Government, when the documents comma nic.ated to you by Commendatore Carafe, on 'Dec. 1, re moved all doubts on the subject. "In fact, the account of the capture drawn up by the commander of the Tancredi, and the speech of the coun eel of the Admiralty to the commission of prize and wreck officially prove that the Cagliari was seized about 30 miles from Salerno and 12 from the small creeks of Capri. It is also proved that the violent occupation of the vessel by the rebels had ceased, and that none of them remained on board; that Captain Sitzia, having re. sumed the command of the ship, was by his own decla ration making for Naples, with a view to inform the Sardinian Consul and the Neapolitan authorities of the violence exercised towards him an i of the attempts of tee rebels. Under these circumstances, and in the presence of these facts, legally p rove d an d admitted his Majesty's Government feels itself bound to request fro n the Nea politan Cabinet certain explanations, which have become necessary, and a course of proceeding in conformity with the most settled rules of international right. "The Cagliari was seized on the high seas—that is to say, on that free sea which is possessed by no one, and over which no one has jurisdiction. From this point of view the illegality of the capture cannot be disputed. It could not be justified on the principle of public right, unless on proof that the Cagliari was a pirate. Now, the Cagliari had a regular captain, patent of nationality, ship papers, and was not engaged in any act of piracy. It had sailed from Genoa on its passage - to Cagliari and Tunis, according to public advertisement. Its voyages took place at fixed periodical days • in point of fact it was the Royal mail packet between th e continent and the Isle of Sardinia. The captain was, therefore, en regle, and the capture of the vessel could not be justified by the uni versally admitted principle that subjects pirates to the jurisdiction of all nations. " The Cagliari was not, as the counsel of the Neapoli tan Admiralty seems to argue, an enemy to the State; it belonged to a friendly Power, by whose flag it was pro tected. The fact that forcible possession bad been taken of her by the passengers, and retained for some time, and that she bad then become the instrument of a wrong ful aggression, could not create that state of war which does only exist between two recognised governmentß. The mad inroad of Ponza and Sapri was the act of a handful of conspirators engaged in a desperate enterprise, and it would be an abuse of the legal import of terms to compare and confound such attempt, of which it is im possible to say whether the madness or the guilt is greater, with a legalised state of public war, in order to found on it the resulting right of prize. This would be the first time in which a band . of conspirators and crimi nals has been recognised as investel with the prerogative of a belligerent Power. " The attempt of Ponza and Sapri was a .crime of rebellion and robbery ; it was an ordinary crime, to the trial of which the rules of the ordinary criminal law ought to be applied, and in which the principles of public right cannot be appealed to in the absence of all foundation for such appeal. " So far as we are concerned, moreover, the criminal fact was at an end. The vessel had no rebels en board ; it was under the command of its lawful captain ; its national flag ought to have secured for it protection, immunities, and privileges of the sea. "Admitting the right of the Neapolitan frigates to search the Cagliari or any other ship, although under a friendly flag, it was their duty to release the vessel the moment they recognised the genuineness of its nationality and its character. " The iicconnt of the capture, the detention of Capt. Sitzia on board the Tancredi, the taking the steamer in tow, her transfer to Naples and sequestration, the arrest and detention of the captain, crew, and passengers, are acts which are contrary to the principle, of public inter national right in the intercourse of friendly Powers. Neither the Government of his Sardinia's Majesty nor any other will ever acknowledge in a man of war the right of capturing a merchantman, except when the ves sel is caught in the very act of piracy, which was not the case with the Cagliari. "From the facts and principles hereuntofore stated and reasoned upon it is clear that the Government of his Majesty feels itself bound and has the right to claim the restoration of the Cagliari, and the liberation of the persons who were arrested on board of her, what ever may be the legal proceedings commenced to their prejudice. The capture on the high seas of a ship belongirg to a friendly Power being illegal, all the consequences which flow from that fact are invalid. The proceeding, therefore, already taken at Salerno against the accused above referred to cannot be followed up except contu maciously (in contuntacia), if the Neapolitan judges think proper so to proceed. "I beg you to communicate to Commendatore Carafa the above, and to express to him at the same time my fall confidence that all the circumstances of this unhappy affair being now cleared up, the Government of his Sici lian Majesty will yield to the just demand of the Pied montese Government, and with this view will give proper directions for the release of the ship and cargo, and for the handing over of the prisoner, whose presence in this kingdom is required for proceedings now pending before our Admiralty, according to the penal regulations of the navy. " - Yon will, Signor Conte, read and deliver a copy of this despatch to Commendatore Carafa. "I have the honour, Icc., " A.VOUR." THE LATE ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OP THE FRENCH EMPEROR. The following letter has been addressed by Joseph Mazzini to the editor of the Times : Sir,—lu the Acts d'Accusation against Orsini and others I find that Orsini, " being appointed in 1849 a commissioner extra or di nar y at ° Ancona, commit ted excesses which led to his condemnation for robbery with violence, &c." _ Orsini was chosen by m e , and appointed by the Roman Triumvirate, to go and repress at any cost political murders which a small nucleus of mis guided men were perpetrating in Ancona. He reached that town on the 21st of April, 1849, and ' fulfilled in a few days, with uncommon zeal and energy, the task with which ho had been intrusted. • Not a single murder took place in Ancona since his appearance. His conduct was unanimously praised. His language was worthy of his mission*. • The proofs may bo seen in the official documents published by himself-in a very interesting pani phlett, in a tract " on Terrorism" fromthe Society of the Friends of Italy, and in your own Parlia mentary correspondence of the year 1849. The Acte d'Accusation declares that Orsini was in 1 855 " arrested at Vienna, and suspected of having plotted the death of the Austrian Emperor." Orsini was arrested at Hermansta,dt, in Hungary, and never suspected of such a design. Not a sin gle question iu the trial he underwent at Mantua bears the slightest reference to it. Whateveropinion of Orsini may 130 entertained by those who frantically appeal to heaven and earth against the attempted murder of a tyrant, and do quietly witness, without a single word of indigna tion the lasting murder of a whole people in Rome, none has the right of taxing Orsini with di s h ones t y, theft, and concussion. The agents of Louis Napo leon ought to be contented with beheading his ene mies, without calumniating them. e " Republic means humanity, not cruelty ; liberty, not tyranny ; order, not anarchy ; he who thinks other wise murders the Republic."—Orsini's proclamation, April 27, 1849. ± Mon;orio e Doonmenti intorno al Govorno defli Re.

SLIDES FOR THE STEREOSCOPE. The stereoscope now forms a popular and fas cinating addition to our numerous drawing-room resources of scientific amusement. The renowned Magi() Lanthorn has str.ng claims on our juvenile gratitude. The Kaleidoscope has charmed away many a half-hour, with its ever-changing beauties of form and colour ; and Electricity, in its gentlest mlod and most el-gant medium, has elicited shrieks of mingled mirth and fright, and afforded useful initiation in its wondrous powers to those who might never otherwise have gleaned the slightest notion respecting its agency. Now comes the simple and inexpensive instrument, above-named, as a formidable rival to our scientific toys, and we have before us on the table a set of attractive stereoscopic slides, published by Messrs. Howell and Downes, New Bond-street, illustrating the various stages of the " Leviath in's" building pro gress. They are skilfully selected in artistic points of representation, giving side, stern, stem, and other views of the ship, which render her architec tural lines distinct and perfect, from keel beam to chimney top. Our thanks are due to Messrs. Howell and Downes for the gratification we have derived from these in structive I.ttle pictures. We must not omit to aotico an ,, ther specimen in the same department of art, issued by the Loudon Stereoscopic Company, Cheapside, the subject of which was suggested by Sir David Brewster, K. H. It represents a Ghost Scene, and the pictorial effect of the spectral visi tant ou the country clodhoppers, who have been making merry over "cakes and ale," is something startling. The shadowy character of the unearthly intruder is wonderfully pourtrayed, and the para lysed terror of the rural trio is equally well ex pressed. We are certain that Sir David will be amply repaid for bis suggestion, by the laughter of approbation from unlimited domestic audiences. MARKET NEWB.—(T2u3 Day.) CORN EXCHANGE. The supply of English wheat received fresh up to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, was very moderate. Although the show of samples was limited, the demand for all kinds ruled very inactive at Monday's quotations. The imports of foreign wheat are under 3,003 quarters. Good and fino qualities were held at full prices ; but low and damp parcels were quite neglected. We had a fair demand for barley, at full currencies, but malt met a very slow sale at barely late rates. The show of oats was only moderate, yet the demand was heavy, and damp parcels were rather cheaper. .In the value of beans, peas, and flour, no change took place. ARRIVALS THIS WHEY. Wheat. Barley.

AX EAGLE{ SHOT.—A large eagle, which has been flying about in the vicinity of Arundel to the terror of many, was shot on Friday last by Mr. W. Ottler, the head gamekeeper of his Grace the Duke of Norfolk. Since the singular visitor has been in the neighbourhood he has been aimed at by many sportsmen who have been unsuccessful in bringing him down. We believe his Grace has on more than one occasion bad an unsuccess ful shot. Being a strong bird and usually flying very high it required some considerable force to kill him. On Friday lea, however, Mr. Ottley, who was in a plantation in Arundel-park, between Bevis's Grave and the walnut trees, had a good shot, and succeeded in wounding him. The bird struggled considerably, and at length perched on a tree, from which he was soon levelled, and taken to the Certif., where, by direction of his Grace the Duke of Norfolk, he was laid oat to be shown to any one who cho se to go and eat see er, breeze, and fine clear weather.

ROYAL 3.7.,11,75H BANK (This Day-:3- COURT (st ing a t O OF Nisi QUEEN'Sprjt before BENC H, Lord Campbell GUILDHALL.auda Special Jury.) THE QUEEN V. BROWN AND OTHERS. TWELFTH DAT. The trial of the information against the directors and manager of the Royal British Bauk for cenepiring by ,nice pretences to d.t:fraft the rl;v. reheldern and cue temere and tun putnie, was this 'day resumed, 'rise same counsel appeared as before. Lord Campbell, on taking his seat on the bench this morning, stated that as soon as Mr. Atherton had con cluded his address to the jury on behalf of the Crown in reply to the defendants' cases, he should adjourn the Court till to-morrow morning,lhat he might be able to carefully read over the evidence before he commenced summing up the case to the jury. Col. Bailie was called by Mr. D. Seymour on the part of Mr. Cameron. He deponed that ho was Lord - Lieutenant offthe county of Ross, and Mr. Cameron was his Deputy Lieutenant. He believed him to be a man of integrity and honour, hlr. Atherton then proceeded to address the jury for the Crown, in reply to the defendants' cases. He said the time had now arrived for the discharge of his part in this important case, of an arduous duty which until the case had very far proceeded he had no reason to suppose would have been cast upon him. It was owing to the elevation of his learned friend Sir F. Thesiger to the highest position in the law of the country that he (llr. Atherton) stood before them as the leading counsel—an elevation in which the profession and the community without exception rejoiced, and in which no man more rejoiced than he did, but he regretted the moment at which it had occurred, because from that moment was to be attributed the circumstance that the interests of justice, which he believed were bound up and involved in this case, had been committed to feebler hands than those to whom they were first entrusted, and lie could not but feel the apprehension that thereby there was some chance or probability of a miscarriage of justice, which but for that would never have occurred. At the same time he admitted he felt great encouragement in the discharge of the duty that had been unexpectedly cast upon him, from the fact that before the jury wero called upon to pronounce a verdict they would have the assistance of the luminous judgment, the profound learning, and the joint experience of the noble and learned judge who presided over the trial. It was also a matter of satisfaction to know that for eleven weary days the jury had exhibited a watch ful, vigilant, careful, and patient attention to the case which had been admired on both sides, which was credit. able alike to the individuals by whom it had been exhi bited, and to the country, who should be proud of such men, and the administration of justice, in which they took so prominent a part, In addressing himself to the case, which was now fully before them, he would endeavour to explain to them what he considered to be the law of the case, and the measure of proof that was required on the part of the Crown, and in doing so he would submit such general remarks and observations as it appeared to him the merits of the case required, and the proofs, as they succes sively arose, that tended to bring home to the defendants one after the other the crime with which they were charged, particularly a knowledge that what they were vouching as true they knew to be an untruth for the purposeof defrauding the public. He had been asked by the learned counsel who appeared for the respective defendants, to point out tho moment and the place of the conspiracy charged against them so as satisfactorily to establish the case, and in order to obtain from the jury a verdict of guilty against them. No such proof was required from the Crown, and could not be demanded nor ought to be expected. If it was to be expected that where several persons acted together for the attainment of a given end, proof should be shown of the meeting of the guilty conclave and the mode by which they succeeded, they would be deceived, because it could only be rarely, if ever, shown. All that English law required in a proof of conspiracy was the consent of two or more per sons uniting for a single or common object for the whole to commit any illegal act. Lord Campbell said that the crime of conspiracy was complete without acts having been done, but here acts were laid against the defendants. Mr. Atherton said the evidence laid before the jury on the part of the Crown proved that the defendants had con spired to accomplish an illegal object, viz., misrepresenting to the public the actual state of the hank, so as to induce the public to join it either as shareholders or depositors, or both. The learned gentleman remarked that a knowledge of the state of the bank when the false balance sheets and reports were put forward was essen ial to the case, for without that was shown to be known to the defendants, they could not be convicted, and he proceeded to quote from the charter, showing the duties of the directors and the power given to them in conducting the business of the bank, and afterwards entered at great length and minuteness into the details of the evidence, as showing that knowledge on the part of the defendants. He re minded the jury the charge against the defendants was not that of having made a wasteful investment of the money of the bank, or of havingdeparted from the line of conduct that should guide prudent and careful bankers in the discharge of their business; but that they, having a knowledge of the hopeless state of the bank, put forth false representations to the public with a view to deceive them. He then referred to the securities which the bank had taken for their advances ; and in reference to the 'Welsh works, the learned counsel said that in June, 1854, the bank offered them for sale, fixing the reserve price at 60,0001., which showed they were then prepared to meet with a direct loss of 15,0001. ; yet finding they were unable to dis pose of them at that loss, they went on, after their better experience, to sink other and large sums, which they after wards endeavoured to regain by making false representa tion to the public. At the meeting in February, 1556, of the shareholders the directors held out that they could pay a dividend of 6 per cent., and a report of that meeting was industriously distributed all over the country to induce the public to join them. The learned gentleman having analysed the balance-sheet containing the false representa tions alleged to have been known to the defendants, con cluded his address by referring to the points of 6vidence which he contended connected the defendants with the commission of the illegal acts with which they stood charged. The court shortly after adjourned. THE CHARGE AGAINST MR. ISAAC BUTT, M.P. PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEE.—THIS DAY. The Committee reamsembled thi■ morning at 12 o'clock. Sir J. Graham in the chair. Sir J. Hogg, vice-chairman of the East India Company, examined by Mr. Roebuck—The hon. gentleman said, to wards the end of July, 1857, he recollected a conversation with Mr. Butt. He urged the propriety of a compromise of the affairs of Ali Moored, as an act of justice, pointing out that the evidence was insufficient. He also urged it on the grounds of expediency, and said further, that if his suggestions were not adopted, ho intended to bring the sub ject before the House of Commons, and that he thought the directors would hardly wish to have their acts ques tioned by the house. Mr. Butt brought with him the memorial of Ali Moored. He (Sir J. W. Hogg) told Mr. Butt that it was his duty to read the documents, but that he would rather not discuss the subject in private. Mr. Butt said he did not wish the directors to rescind their orders, but he wished them to give directions to the commission in Scinde, to consider the Ameer's He looked upon Mr. Butt as coming before him as a mem ber of the House of Commons, who was desirous of not bringing a certain matter under Parliamentary considera tion if he could avoid it, he (Mr. B.) believing that the de cision of the Government and the Board of Directors was not just. In consequence of this circumstance the Court took the case of Ali Moored into consideration, and the result was that they adhered to their former decision, but any decision of the directors was subject to the President °tithe Board of Control, who seemed be in favour of giving directions to the commissioner in Scinde, which Mr. Butt required. Mr. Butt said if the directors did not make the compromise he would bring the matter before the House of Commons, the session being still sitting. In consequence of that statement the claims were considered. Soma documentary evidence was then submitted by the witness; but an objection to its reception having been taken, the room was cleared, and after an absence of a quarter of an hour the public were admitted, when the chairman announced that the committee had decided not to receive the documents at the present stage of the in quiry. The examination of the witness was then continued in connection with the communications between the Board of Control and Mr. Butt. It would not be proper to call the communication from the Court of Directors a despatch —it was, in fact, a letter to Ali Moorad. The decision of the Court of Directors was partially equivalent to the sug gestion of Mr. Butt, but not to the same extent. The letter stated that if on his arrival at Bombay he con ducted himself in a favourable manner his case would most likely meet with the most favourable consider tion. It frequently happened that members of Par liament interested themselves and consulted the Court of Directors on matters relating to India. He considerea the Government of India was the proper tribund for the subject. He was not aware that members of Par liament ever addressed the Board of Directors collectively on such matters, but there was no doubt they bad fre quently spoken to some of the directors. The late Mr. Hume had spoken to himself and other members of the court on the subject of the claims of the Raja of Sattara and other matter relative to India. He was positive that Mr. Butt adverted to the expediency of such a discussion in Parliament on the then state of India, but he confined himself to generalities. He did sot recollect that Mr. Butt said it woud be expedient to leave as little irritation on the minds of the people of India who might hear of the rejection of the Ameer's claim, and it was on that ground that he urged commission. It was after tie news of the revolt reached England.

(Prom the Derbyshire Courier.) Being fully alive to the magnitude of the pre. sent crisis, Lord Derby's first object, on receiving authority from the Queen to undertake the direce don, of affair; was to construct his Administration upon the broadest possible basis. It is evident that nartics ate net so widely separated ai they were a. Lott time eince, the House of Commons being composed of several small groups of politician!, the members of which have associated together rather from feelings of friendsh'p and respect than from the peculiar or exclusive character of their opinions. Many of the old battle-cries have been forgotten, and we are confident that a Conservative Cabinet, under the premiership of Lord Derby, will pursue a more liberal course and effect more beneficial reforms than any coalition of discordant cliques that could at this period be called into ex istence. Of the sections into which members of the Lower House is divided the Conservative is the most numerous, and her gracious Majesty the Queen followed the good old constitutional rule in. summoning Lord Derby to the helm. Nostatesmaa of the day enjoys a higher reputation, both for ex perience and integrity, and none stands at the hear" of solarge an array of followers. Although the Con servatives may be exposed to the risk of defeat whenever the Whig, Peelite, Liberal, and Radical forces coalesce, circumstances at present render such. strict union improbable, if not altogether impossie ble. Whilst this is the state of things iu the lower branch of the Legislature, in the upper Lord Derby commands a clear working majority. Hence hie, claim to the distinction for which he bas been se lected is altogether indisputable, and his growing popularity in the country may be accepted as a sign that he is again about to enter up on a prominent and useful career. The Peelite party consists solely of chiefs. It is com posed of a few able statesmen who adhered closely to the political fortunes of the late Sir It Peel, and who at various times held office. These leaders, although men of recognised ability, enjoying a re putation second to none, are without any following whatever. They shine in debate, but appear as soli tary units in a division. At one time they belonged to the great Conservative party, which came into power with triumph in 1841 ; and although a sepa ration afterwards took place, the Peelites have of late evinced a disposition to return to their old alle giance and to rejoin the ranks of that political body to which they at one time contributed both strength and importance. Former differences haveforgotten, old jealousies have expired, and an apparent, if not an actual, renewal of the connection, severed under the most painful circumstances, has ensued. At all events, from the commencement of the present ses sion the Peelites have generally adopted the same policy as the Opposition, and have voted with them. To Mr. Gladstone, as their recognised leader, Lord Derby applied for assistance in the difficult task be fore him. We have reason to believe that, after much deliberation and several conferences with his political friends , the member for th e U n i vers it y o f Oxford, at a late hour yesterday afternoon, on his own part and on that of his colleagues, decline' rendering Lord Derby the aid which he required. W hat the reasons may be which induced thesegentle men to reject Lord Derby's friendly advances it is not for us to explain, but we certainly believe that they missed what Mr. Disraeli would call " a great occasion," both for proving their patriotism and for restoring concord and unity between all branches of the Conservative party. Alone the Peelites are but puppets, the sport of every wave and the creatures of circumstance, whilst in close connection with that political body to which they once belonged a noble path of duty and high destinies opened out before them. It is not, however our wish to seek to f a th om their purposes, nor to enlarge upon the opportuni ties they have lost. For this these politicians them selves must bear the responsibility, and we imagine the Peelite party will not easily satisfy the public that they acted patriotically in refusing at such a moment to lend their best aid towards the forma tion of a Government. Raving failed in his efforts to reunite and recon struct a Conservative Government upon that broad basis on which it stood in 1841, Lord Derby's next duty was to form a practical, useful, and an honest Administration, composed of statesmen capable of conducting public affairs with credit, and of rescu ing the country from the dangers by which it is en vironed. The materials for such a Cabinet are to be found in the ranks of the late Opposition, and in the course of a few hou rs th e li st of its principal mem bers will be announced. Conjecture is in the mean time busy, and various rumours, none of which de serve the slightest degree of credit are in circulation. Upon one point we can afford the most satisfactory. assurances. The career of Lord Derby's Adminis tration, as in the case of his former attempt in 1852, will be marked by real progress and improvement. Without the cant of profession, it will be emi nently successful in practice. The new Premier and his colleagues have ever been the advocates of that enlightened progression which secures the wel fare of all classes of the community, while it has nothing in common with revolutionary tactics or destructive assaul ts upon time-honoured institutions and principles. To advance slowly and surely is preferable to a hurried progression. The passion for rash innovations once excited in the breasts of a people, the temple of liberty is soon invaded, and tyranny, wearing the mask of freedom, saps the foundations of the state. For coming boldly to the rescue at this terrible crisis Lord Derby deserves the gratitude as well as the cordial support of all impartial men. The task is an arduous one*; but his hope is strong, and his arm firm, and he can await the result with confi dence. Lord Derby will fully perform his part, and the public must e pot forgot that th ey also have a solemn duty to fulfil. To the new Cabinet a fair trial ought to be accorded. It must not be thrust aside by reckless bands of adventurous politicians, eager for place, and bent upon mischief, but unable to direct the affairs of a mighty empire with dignity and success. The Conservative chief undertakes the government at a period of considerable difficulty and danger. The least the people of England can do is to prevent obstructions being thrown in his way. For the new Ministers we demand nothing. more than is accorded to the humblest subject in the realm. Let their conduct be weighed with jus tice, and let them stand or fall by their merits. Party appellations are frequently nothing more than the stamp upon the metal, and of late years all broad distinctions bet ween different politicians have been removed. The opponents of Lord Derby's Administration of 1852 were compelled at a subse quent period to admit thatits carver had bee n emi nently successful, and that its forcible ejeot ion by a coalition powerful only to do mischief, entailed bitter calamities upon the state. The fat a l error committed upon that occasion must not be now repeated. Lord Derby h as b een called upon to govern ; and if he does this with dig nity—securing the prosperity of England at home, and her honour abroad—the generous confidence of the public will be his due, as it must be his best re ward. As the noble lord's Ministry has been de nounced before it is actually formed, and his policy condemned previous to the exposition of the same usual upon such occasions, we feel constrained to express a strong opinion upon this point. Such foe tious opposition must defeat the objects of those by whom it is practised, and the English people, with their usual good sense, will perceive that the corn• position of Lord Derby's Cabinet must be known, and his policy set forth, before either one or the other can be with any show of justice held up to ridicule and reprobation. to-day THE a g t i o o f n GL T A IT SG E OTS L ' A p T N E V e dneMANAG ER scay.
