The PRINCE REGENT of Prussia has fully satisfied the sanguine expectations that were indulged in by the Liberal party in Europe respecting his con duct when he had the control of public affairs in the important kingdom committed to his charge. He has dismissed the reactionary Cabinet and ap pointed a liberal and enlightened Administration, that will be accepted with joy by the people. Herr VON MANTEUFFEL had perversely and obsti nately opposed the Regency. He played the Russian 'game, and stubbornly refused conceding the powers to the heir-presumptive to the Crown, which were so urgently required for the welfare and prosperity of the country, and proper conduct of public affairs. At length he was conquered. Even at the eleventh hour the necessary-powers were conferred on the Prince Regent. The new leader could not approve the proceedings of Herr VON MANTEUFFEL and his colleagues. He gently hinted that their resignation would be accepted ; but al though it was " a tender case," the hint was not be accepted. They had braved the Prussian Chambers—continued in office, despite of over whelming majorities, and they thought that they could also brave the REGENT, and cling to place and power, despite the obstacles that would have deterred any high-minded or honourable man. The REGENT was not, however, to be bearded with impunity. He had tried the efficacy of kind advice :and gentle pressure, but their influences proving ineffectual, he had no alternative but to try what virtue there might be in stones. He was therefore driven to dismiss them summarily from office, and to appoint others in the place from which they were summarily ejected. The constitution of the new Administration has occeasioned unalloyed satisfaction in Prussia. It is decidecly liberal and constitutional, and in those important respects offers a very decided con trast to the previous Administration. The Prince of HOIIENZOLLERN, the chief of the Administra- tion, is a man against whose opinions no question can be raised. He is the father of the Queen of PORTUGAL, whose mild and gentle beauty won golden opinions from all classes while she was en route to Lisbon. But it is not as a Sovereign or mediatised Prince that the Prussian Premier can claim our sympathies. It is because he has always supported the Liberal cause, that he has acted with ability, fidelity, and zeal on the side of the consti tution, and that he has the all but universal sup port of the community at large, who regard his appointment as a new charter of liberty—one that will ensure the rights and privileges for which they have naturally been solicitous. He has associated with himself men whose antecedents prove that he is thoroughly in. earnest in the course on which he has entered. The Baron SCIILEINITZ, who now holds the Foreign portfolio, bad occupied the same position in 1849, when FRE DERICK WILLIAM took his oath to the constitution. It was convinlent to foiiet that solemn obligation, to ignore and set aside every pledge given to the people. Baron SCIILEINITZ had not that very convenient conscience, and therefore he was set aside byAheLvery pliable Herr VON MANTEUFFEL at the first opportunity. It is an auspicious omen for the new Government that Prince HOHENZOLLERN has availed himself of the great experience and judgment of the honourable baron. Another o f th e new comers- -- - 1. VON AUERSWALD had been President of the Berlin Cabinet in 1 818. This w as t h e revolutionary period, when kings and kaisers were on their good behaviour, and when any opp os i t i on to the popular wishes might have been fraught with very dangerous consequences. The mere fact that he was selected as Prime Minister at that time speaks trumpet-tongued in his favour, a n d of that of the chief by whom he, has now been selected for so arduous and important an office. The most satisfactory, however, of the minis terial arrangements is that of General VON BONIN as Minister of War. He is a thorough Constitu tionalist in heart and soul, friendly to England, and to the true interests of Prussia. His appoint ment is regarded as a direct blow to the interests of the Autocrat, to which he has been invariably opposed, since the commencement of his political career. Indeed, he was dismissed during the Crimean war 13om the very post he now occupies with so-much-credit to himself and advantage to the public, simply because he was not sufficiently pliable. • The Chevalier BUNSEN, now Baron BUNSEN — who has so long been the respected representatis e of the House of Hohenzollern in the metropolis of the United Kingdom—was also applied to. He was offered a portfolio, and his disinterested advice was earnestly sought. We regret, however, to say, that the man whose mere name would have given confidence to every true-hearted Englishman, and satisfied him that he would never assist any cause not calculated to promote constitutional liberty has not as yet joined the Administration. MM. PATOW and VON BETIIMAN-HOLLWEG are decidedly good appointments. They prove that the Regent is determined to act fairly towards the people, in the confident expectation that when con vinced ("hat great fact, they also will recipro cate the obligation, and act fairly and justly towards him. The representatives of Edinburgh and their con stituents have been having it out together com fortably in a brace of speeches and a series of rounds—of applause, not altogether unmitigated. The meeting took place on Wednesday afternoon, in the Queen-street Hall of Auld Reekie. Mr. COWAN and Mr. BLACK were .there to give an ac= count of their stewardship. And certainly, judg ing from the applause and hisses, the up roar, cheers, and laughter with which the speakers were greeted at almost every sentence, they can hardly be regarded as having given an entirely satisfac tory account of that same stewardship. Never, certainly, were opinions more divided than those entertained by the two members for Edinburgh, and by the six thousand independent electors making up the aggregate of the constituency. Mr. BRIGHT and, Lord PALMERSTON—Count WALEW SKI and the Earl of CLARENDON—Hungary and Portugal—the Reform Bill that is to be, and the India Bill that has been—everything and every body, furnish a bone of contention to the hot blooded politicians of the modern Athens. The speeches recently delivered to his constituents by the hon. member for Birmingham were pronounced by Mr. COWAN to have a tendency to incite the humbler against the upper classes of society— whereat a stentorian voice cried "No !" The mention of the late Government by his colleague, Mr. BLACK, was greeted with mingled hisses and applause. Hisses and applause, too, followed the reference to Lord CLARENDON having sent an oral instead of a written reply to the despatch penned by the French INlinister for Foreign Affairs. When it was rather loosely asserted by Mr. BLACK that had Lord PALMERSTON been at the head of the English Government our ally would have thought twice before adventuring upon his recent outrage on Portugal in the case of the Charles et Georges— an assertion coming rather oddly from the lips of an admirer of Lord PALMERSTON, at the very time when the noble Viscount is on the eve of a visit to Compeigne there were audible rather perti nent exclamations of " Hungary, Hungary." As to Reform and its fair prospects—" We have now installed in the place of a Whig a Tory Govern ment," observed Mr. BLACK—whereto a sententious auditor called out facetiously, "Six and Half-a dozen." Alike mocking dissentient hailed by similar ejaculations the allusions made subsequently by the hon. gentleman to our late Indian legislation. We could not say much, by the way, for the fervour of the hon. member's piety, if we were to judge of its fervour or of the confidence of his faith by that most extraordinary close to his remarks in reference to what is termed the evange lisation of Hindostan, where—as if the mission before us were the diffusion of some political doc trine or the teaching of one of the departments of natural philosophy—Mr BLACK observed, " I believe that Christianity with a fair field and no favour will triumph over every obstacle." As though the dissemination of the divine truths of Christianity was in any imaginable way dependent upon "a fair field and no favour !" Did the hon. gentleman never see an engraving from that beautiful and impressive picture " The Dispersion of the Apostles," —in which the twelve illiterate Champions of the Church, ex-tax gatherers, ex-fishermen, and so forth, are scattered to the four quarters of the earth upon the summit of Mount Olivet ? Not any necessity, there for—" a clear stage and no favour !" , Surely these are not now the conditions for the diffusion of Christianity. That is a work to be forwarded, not by human wisdom, but by Divine grace—it is a triumph dependant in not the smallest particular upon the aid, countenance, or co-operation of the most powerful of earthly governments. It advanced at its very commencement with miraculous rapidity in defiance of the pitiless antago nism of the then Imperial rulers of the world. After the lapse of nearly two thousand years it is none the less vital with this preterna- 1 tural and supernal independence. Now, when the belief in the Author of Christianity is common not to twelve apostles and 70 disciples, but to nearly 300,000,000 of the human race ! " To 68 millions of Protestant sects--to 14 i milions of minor sects—to 531 millions of Catholics of the Greek Church— to 150,000,000 of Roman Catholics"—in all, to 296 millions of Christians of all denominations, accord ing to the moral and statistical chart drawn up in his great Physical Atlas, by Mr. A. K. JOHNSTON. What, was true of Christianity in the year - AID. 33—when there were in all about one hundred Christians—is certainly true in the year A.D. 1859, when there are 296,000,000. It appears to us, therefore, little less than impiety for Mr. BLACK, or any one else, to assert " I believe that Christianity, with a fair field and no favour, will triumph over every obstacle." Those may be, and doubtless are, reasonable condi tions enough in the way of Reforms—Parliamentary or others—but they are absolutely no essentials in regard to the supreme and divine cause of Chris tianity. . . When our citizens assemble at large public meet ings, and lords, and generals, and magistrates and clergymen take part in them, and other lords and other generals, and even ex-premiers send letters expressing regret at their inability to attend, it should seem that a fair-minded journalist must notice the circumstance. It should concern him, as the exponent and guide .of public opinion, if it concern so many of his fellow-citizens. Yet we must own that the subject of the great public meet ing at Southampton, reported in our columns on Thursday, is one of doubtful propriety for a public meeting. The doubtful point to us is, whether such meetings do not give too much importance to a set of the most contemptible mortals on earth. notice lere of them are certain men whom nothing but your SACIIEVEREL let alone might from obscurity. his ig read his f ou l but harmless be known bey on d t h e free seats of his own c h urc h , i h if you let him al one , b ut attack of legislative or of social censu it thump o i i t s y d . d unce i s elevated a t once to the thr and the rank of a . martyr. libels for ev er , an d no t esk A , a D n r d . m with the arms re, and th e h otheaded one of a party It really needs. caution not to confer these r wards of weak - hea ded ambition on t he new brood of Anglican Father Confessors. The citizens and military men, and lords who took part directly or indirectly, in condemning the confessional at South ampton, had a full right to adopt the course of con venigg lr - P} ll / 1-ic rfleeting, and we admit that much mayit, yet, as we conce i ve , many o f t h e b knaves e or silt for sincipleti ms whom they meant to expose will consider it a e ort of terrestrial beatification to be made notoi iou s in any way. By their brains they could not have secured a moment's attention, and they may 1 ')e but too happy if they can do it -3 clerical M err y -A n d rew or some by enacting the thing worse. " We are the men who made all the stir the other at, and we are the men who don't care either for al. l your Lords, and Generals, and Colonels !" May not such be the feeling of a few insignificant fift3 '-pound a-year curates in or about Southampton—n zany who, if they had been or dained by the sus vessors of ST. CRISPIN, and not by those of ST. I ?ETER, would never have raised themselves beyon 11 the cobler's stall, perhaps not even have attains ;d that dignity. For ourselves 'we confess that if wo are tempted to the ungentlemanl, y act of laughing at a fellow creature whom we n wet in the streets, it is by the sight of the white ne •ckcloth, close buttoned vest, long Noah's-ark coat t tnd face which appears unto men to fast, of the \mglican Young Parson who every now and then co nfronts us. Unwillingness to send him on gloryin g in persecution, as much as anything, preserves us from ill-bred risibility, at least from showing it,. We cannot stay to argue whether such feelings are right, but such are our feelings, and: we pass on muttering to ourselves epithets di atwn from the natural pro perties of certain innocen .t animals, whom we need not just now summon from the Zoological Gardens, or the common. To us i t will appear so ineffably ludicrous that our University weanlings should exhibit themselves with such solemn folly, that we must give free play to our mirthful impulses before we could admit, or yield to, others of a graver kind. If we had to sit in judgment on Punch we must be permitted to have our laugh out first, and then inquire into malicious 3 intentions, damages, and all that. But the noble chairman, Lord H. CHOLMON DELEY, will assure us that the business is a very grave one, and Lord SIIAFTESBUBY and the clergy men will back his representatives, and the Evan gelical Generals will tell us that it is the most dan gerous of all errors to despise an enemy. For their consolation we may assure them that they cannot detest more cordially than we do, all the genuine superstitions and mummeries of Rome, and all the Brummagem imitations of them manufactured by our Anglican forgers and coiners. The whole scheme of Apostolical succession, baptismal regene ration by a 'priestly act of transubstantion by a priestly fiat, of confession and absolution by priestly authority, and all the rest of it, is to us so much unmitigated imposture upon our understanding or upon our senses. We should, therefore, think it a grave matter indeed, could we believe that there was any more danger of the reviviscence of such superstitions among the mass of the people, than there is of restoring the reign of sorcery and witchcraft. With all the parade of Cardinal WisE MAN, and all the fooleries of Puseyism, we are con fident that never was the soil of England less genial than now for Popery. The very character of all modern science, based as it now is, not on human fancies, but on Divine facts, as established in the order of creation, is as deadly a foe to Popery as it is to Hindooism, and it pervades all minds. The Church has decreed that GALILEO is a heretic, and his doctrine a lie —every educated man be lieves, therefore, that the Church is the liar, and the Pope the heretic. And this tone of thinking runs through the science of the day, though another case so strong it might be difficult to find. Where are the converts to Puseyism and Popery found ? Have any of our sound-minded men and women. believed in them ? Does any of our readers know a single convert in whose mind he could not have pointed out, previously to his conversion, some peculiar twist—some want of even balance of faculties—or in whose circumstances he can not trace the misleading cause ? With many Puseyites most persons well know that all may be easily accounted for. As to our single ladies, especially those of mature years, we need not particularise. Caprice, fancy, fashion, ennui, tendency to confide in the lords of creation, and even fashion itself, in certain little circles, are causes enough of all the perversions we occasionally wit ness. It remains to be seen whether we can guard our young ladies and our poor women against father confessors, by holding public meetings and petitioning the QUEEN. She is head of the Church, and we suppose head of English fashion too; two important points for the aristocracy at least. But these ecclesiastical young damsels are told that the Head of the Church resides at Rome, and that the QUEEN is a heretic. We hope the whole thing will not be made too much of. If the ptomoters of such meetings were hearty in the matter, would they not first try to purify what Lord CHATHAM designated our Popish liturgy of all in it that leads to Rome? COURT CIRCULAR.

There will be a sitting of the Privy Council to-morrow, at which it is expected important decisions will be come to in reference to Holstein and Lauenberg. CONSTANTINOPLE, 30TH OCT. Dersvisch Pacha has been nominated commander in-chief of ,the troops in Bosnia, Herzegovina, and on the frontier of Montenegro. TRIESTE, Nov. 4. Intelligence has been received from Constanti nople to the 30th Oct. The Porte was about to send a special commissioner to Belgrade. Eight functionaries belonging to the finance department have been removed from their posts, through a motive of economy. Advices from Athens state that the Greek Chambers are convoked for 11th Nov. THE BOMBAY MAIL. We have received advices in anticipation of the Overland Mail, with dates from Bombay to Oct. 9. The following is from the summary of the fort night's news given by the Bombay Standard : OUDE. General Sir Hope Grant, with the troops under him, continue in the neighbourhood of Sultanpore, detachments being occasionally sent out to cut off such of the rebels as chance to appear in the neigh bourhood. The district of Fyzabad, consisting of the town just named, of Sultanpore and Secrora, is in a great measure tranquillised. There are still large masses of the enemy flitting about, but taking the greatest care always to keep out of our way. The collection of the revenue has, all things con sidered, been wonderfully successful. Most of the village assessments still exist, and the people pay without grumbling or apparent difficulty. The landholders who have been anything like well behaved are being restored to their estates, and the disloyal, thus seeing their hopes at an end, begin now for the first time fully to comprehend the very disastrous nature of the game they have been playing. Turning to the frontiers of Dude we find on the 10th that Brigadier Douglas, in command of the Arrah field force, encountered the rebels from Jugdespore, where there were said to be 15,000 at a place called. Chandeea, and defeated them, destroying about a hundred, our casualties being nominal. A column which left Allahabad on the 22d, overtook and defeated the enemy the following day, destroying 500 of them. TANTIA TOPEE. We mentioned in our last that, after his succes sive defeats on his flight from Jalra Puttun, Tan tia Topee had made for the direction of Bhopal, no man knowing, however, whitherward he proposed to proceed. He speedily struck off to the eastward, making for Seronge, an old Pindaree stronghold, built by the famous freebooter, Ameer Khan, at the foot of the Ghauts. On one side only was the place of any strength, on three it was singularly accessible. Thitherward from Goonah a portion of Smith's brigade proceeded without loss of time. The detachment consisted of a squadron of the Bth Hussars, a wing of the Ist Lancers, six companies of Hill's 95th, with four light guns. General Michel meanwhile was to cover Bhopal, and advance on Seronge from the westward. As in the case of Jalra-Puttun, the rebels considered it best not to await the arrival of our troops. As we approached they plundered the place, and withdrew on Chun daree, a ruined fort held by a portion of Seindia's men, captured by Brigadier Steuart in March, sub sequently re• occupied by the enemy, and taken pos session of once more by Brigadier Smith in May, and made over to a native garrison, as we could not afford to leave a detachment behind us. Tantia Topee is said to have some 15,000 men along with him. The Gwalior treasure and jewels in his hands are guarded by a regiment of rebel cavalry. He has still four of the Jalra Puttun guns, but these form all his train. MISCELLANEOUS. Direct telegraphic communication has been opened betwixt Bombay and Kurrachee, as well as betwixt Ceylon and the mainland. We have thus the electric wire stretching in one unbroken series of lines from lat. 6 to 32 N., and from long. 44 to 97 E. Last mail gave particulars of floods of unprece dented violence on the Indus, and an earthquake in Bengal. We have now the appearance of a comet of surpassing size and brilliancy to chronicle. The dry season has now fairly set in ; for the last three nights we have been threatened with the squall from the east known as the Elephanta, and which generally divides the south-west from the north-west monsoon—the west from the fair sea son, but even this has died away. The rainy sea son thus far has been favourable throughout, our later rains being still expected.. Trade has been less active during the fortnight and freights ex tremely- low. The Governor-General and Cora mander-in-Chief continue at Allahabad, the Gover nor and Commander-in-Chief of Madras at 'the Neilgherries, those of Bombay in the Deccan. The Bombay Times thinks that little will de done for the re-establishment of order in Oude until operations, now completely suspended, arc resumed in the cold weather. " The plans of Lord Clyde seem to be to force the insurgent bodies which now traverse the province across the Gogra into the Khairabad and Byraitch districts ; and'by a chain of communication on the military right bank of that river, shut all access to the province against them. Shauld he succeed in doing this, the deadly character of trio districts themselves, and the im possibility of their maintaining so large a body of men, will force the rebels either to enter Nepaul, , or open negotiations with ourselves ; and there will be an end of the campaign in either case. The rebels seem to be improving the leisure afforded by our inactivity to strengthen themselves, and aro emboldened to ravage .the country almost to, the very walls of Lucknow. Fever and dysentery are unfortunately prevalent amongst the troops, and we must be content to await the opening of the cold season for any effective measures of repression."

Our monsoon is now considered at an end, although the Elephanta storm has not quite blown over. The agricul tural reports from all parts of the interior are favourable, the growing crops of cotton, grain, and oil seeds, promising a very good harvest. Money is becoming slightly scarcer in the Bazaar, but in European quarters there is no change. Four per cent. paper is at 84 and Fives 93, with few buyers. IMPORTS.

The Moniteur says :—" The examination of pro positions which have been sent in relative to the lines of railway to be established in Algeria is now being carried on at the Ministry for that country. No decision can be come to on the subject, except under the conditions of regular official investiga tion, which will be open to all bona fide projects. The assertions of persons who endeavour to turn to their own advantage pretended promises of con cessions are completely unfounded." The very remarkable address of M. Chaix-d'Est- Ange at the opening of the Law Courts is remarked on in terms of the highest praise by the Debats. Every part of the learned gentleman's observations are looked on by our contemporary as exceedingly judicious, and to none is a more unqualified meed of praise awarded than to that which recommends the judge to avoid all demonstration of hostility to the prisoner. The Debats, however, wishes to go farther, and is of opinion that the Eng lish plan of not interrogating an unfortunate man, when on trial, might be introduced with advantage into France. The following are some of the observations made on the point :—" If, however, the interrogation of the prisoner be indispensable to arrive at the truth and for the punishment of crime, it must be put up with, as one of those cruel maces sities which are frequently imposed on human socie ties through anxiety for their own protection. Our neighbours in England, however, dispense with that practice, and who will dare to say that thieves and murderers incur less risks before the tribu nals of the country there than with us ? They are transported and hanged when necessary, but they are not interrogated, because the law con siders that course neither requisite nor just. Silence is the first of the rights of the accused in England when before a court of justice, and if he speaks, the English law requires that he shall be cautioned not to criminate himself. It is, therefore, necessary to prove his guilt by other evidence besides his own ; these proofs it is the duty of the prosecution to bring forward, and whilst the accused remains silent, it is for the counsel on either side to examine and cross-examine the witnesses for the benefit of their respective causes. As to the judge, he presides in the true sense of the word, and watches over the proceedings. No cruel or indecorous dispute can therefore, take place between him and the prisoner, he can neither be the victor nor the vanquished, and nothing occurs to disturb the solemnity of the proceeding. The most serious sittings of Parlia ment have less calm and gravity than these criminal trials, where the animated struggle of the counsel of the two parties goes on and terminates in pre sence of the absolute impassibility of the judge, and the silence of the prisoner. This scene, which takes place at our very doors, and may be witnessed every day, mu§t furnish matter for reflection to those who consider as indispensable the active intervention of the President in the criminal proceedings and interrogation of the prisoner. How many prejudices of the same kind have there not been removed by time and experi ence ! Were not men formerly convinced that torture was indispensable for the manifestation of the truth, and that in order to arrive at the dis covery of a crime, the rack was as necessarylas a pen and an ink-stand ? We do not therefore de spair of one day seeing the reform which we now recommend made in our criminal laws, and we wait for it with patience, remembering that reforms are as slow and as difficult in our country as revolutions are unfortunately rapid and of easy accomplishment.

For :centuries,' says the _Russian Gazette of St. Petersburg, ' efforts to improve men and things have been made, and yet now, in the heart of Europe, at Rome, family rights—the rights of father and mother, which form the corner stone of the social edifice—are not only not protected but are trampled under foot, and grave discussions on regulations and customs which permit young Mortara to be carried off from the paternal home are indulged in ! Extraordinary to relate, this act finds defenders, and follows the course of an ordinary process. As for ourselves, we cannot defend this immoral act. It is such a reproach to the society in the midst of which it is accomplished that we do not hesitate to brand it as it merits !' —The Empercr has presented a diamond ring to the principal editor of the in slide .Russe for an historical account of the Lunatic Asylum at St. Petersburg. Baron de Chaudoir, member of the Academy of Sciences of this city, an eminent archaeologist and numismatist, and author of Trea tises on Russian _and Chinese moneys, has just died." PRUSSIA. BERLIN, Nov. 4. The Ministers are out. They have resigned, not collectively, but each one singly, which you may be disposed Ito think the same thing ; but it is not quite. The names of the new Ministers, so far as they are yet known, are as follows : President of the Council d'Etat.—The Prince of Hohenzollern-Sigmarin gen (without a portfolio.) In the Cabinet, but without office or official posi tion.—Von Au ers wald. Minister of Foreign Affairs. Baron von Schleinitz. Minister of War.—General von Bonin. Minister of Ecclesiastical Affairs and Education. —Bethmann-Hollweg. Minister of Finance.—Patow. Two members of the present Cabinet remain in, viz.:— Minister of Interior.—Flottwell. Minister of the Household.—Von Masson. The first three names in this list are very far from what would be called in England "Liberal." But contrasted with the party tools who have been destroying law and order, and undermining honesty for the last eight years, the accession of such men to office is not only the best thing which could have been done for this country, but cannot fail to have a salutary effect on the small German States of the north and west. The Education Minister is the least satisfactory of the whole, as he belongs to a peculiar religious party, which it would be highly undesirable to see engrossing the direction of the education of the country. It would be to little purpose that the schools and universities of Prussia were delivered from the hands of the declared enemies of education—Stahl and the High Luthe rans—if they exchange open enemy for the equally dangerous patronage of the Pietistic section. It is to be hoped, therefore, that the division of that department into two parts—one for church affairs, and another for education—may be carried out. It has often been talked of, and is required even by the duties of the Bureau, which cannot be ade quately discharged by one man. A letter from Berlin of the 2d says : " The Prince Regent leaves this capital the day after to-morrow. Before proceeding on his intended visit to Prague he will go to Blankenbourg, in the Harz, on a sporting excursion, to which he has been invited by the Duke of Brunswick, who, as is well known, kept himself aloof from the Prussian Court under the preceding Government. This friendly interview with the Regent will not be without a certain importance." The same letter, after speak ing of the interview which will take place at Prague between the Prince Regent and the Emperor of Aus tria, and expressing the belief that it will contri bute to improve the relations between the two countries, at present by no means friendly, adds : " The Austrian Cabinet appears disposed to make some concessions, but it must completely modify its attitude at Frankfort, if it wishes to avoid seri ous eventualities. These journeys of the Regent, which in themselves have a certain significancy, acquire still more importance when it is remembered that the elections are about to take place, the Pri mary Assemblies meeting on the 12th, during the absence of the Prince, and that between this time and his departure it will be necessary that the Go vernment should make known in some manner its intentions to the electors, and particularly to the persons employed in the Government offices." SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the Ist are occupied with the result of the elections; which, as stated by tele graph, took place on the preceding day. The semi official Correspondancia Autografa says that it feels no surprise at the triumph of the Progressists in Madrid, as generally, in all capitals, the Liberal party is in the majority, and as, besides, the Abso lutist party coalesced with the Progressists. At Saragossa, M. Olozaga and M. Escosura, two of the principal chiefs of the Progressists, had been elected, but only by a majority of 13. Prince Vogorides, Caimacan of Moldavia, being about to resign, has published a long address to the nation, in which, amongst other things, he recapitulates the useful measures he has caused to be carried out, amongst which are the re-organisa tion of public schools, the establishment of commer cial and other schools in numerous towns and vil lages, the increase from 1,496 to 10,000 in the num ber of children receiving instruction, the opening o f new roads, the paving of streets in Jassy, the extension of the postal system, &c. &c. A letter from Jassy of the 28th ult. states that the commissioner of the Porte had arrived in the Principalities, and was about to proceed to the publication of the constitution granted to them. He was also the bearer of a hatti of the Sultan, esta blishing a new caimacan. The letter adds that it had been decided, with the consent of Austria, England, and France, that the new caimacan shall have the power of dismissing all pubiic function aries, the outgoing caimacan having appointed democrats to almost every place. The Opinion of Turin states that a few minutes before the municipal council of Turin opened the ceremony of inaugurating the statue of Charles Albert, Count Nigra, minister of the Royal house hold, waited upon them, in order to thank them in the name of the King for the respect they showed for the memory of his Majesty's father, and to assure them that his Royal master would never forget this testimony of affection. A letter from Stuttgart of the Ist says :—" The King of Wurtemburg and his Majasty's daughter the Queen of the Netherlands have had a narrow escape. Their Majesties were taking a drive in an open carriage which the King drove himself, and proceeded to ascend the paved roidway to Esslin gen, which is so steep that pedestrians alone go by it. All at once one of the horses began plunging, broke the pole of the carriage, and knocked down the other horse in such a way as to break the fet lock. The outriders and footmen hastened to assist the King and Queen to alight, and their Majesties sustained no injury. The spot where the accident happened is famous as that from which, according to tradition, Duke Ulrich of Wurtemburg leaped down in the sixteenth century to escape the pur suit of his enemies. 7We learn that the Rev. George Hills, 8.D., of Norwich, and Incumbent of St. Nicholai, Great Yar mouth, has been appointed to the bishopric of British Columbia. Lady Charles Somerset and Miss Somerset left Southampton last week, in the Ripon, for Gibraltar. The Bishop of Durham has left Claridge's Hotel, for Auckland Castle, Durham. The subscriptions to the Worcestershire testi monial to Sir John Pakington, limited in amount to £2 2a., taroadyeaceed the sum of ie6oo. WEST COAST OF AFRICA. PLYMOUTH, FRIDAY. The American, steamship, arrived here this evening from the West Coast of Africa. She left Old Calabar Sept. 25th ; the Cameroons, 27th; Fernando Po, 29th ; Bonny, Oct. Ist ; Lagos, 7th; Accra, 10th ; Cape Coast, 11th ; Monrovia, 14th ; Sierra Leone, 19th ; Bathurst and Goree, 23d ; Teneriffe, 28th ; Madeira, 30th. She brings 1,816 ounces of gold and 13 passengers, including Consul Newnham ' Dr. Roe And wife, and Lieuts. Samson, Brew, and Trotter. The Ardent, Viper, awl Myrmidon were at Fer nando Po ; the Rainbow left for Brass River Sept. 20th ' • the Sharpshooter was Ot Lagos ; the Conflict at Accra ; and the Spitfire, Alecto, and French frigates St. Jean d'Aere and Gironde, at Sierra Leone. The trade season had commenced, the rains hav ing ceased. The expedition up the Sherboro had been suc cessful. Her Majesty's Order in Council repealing the press ordinance had given satisfaction. The steamers Retriever, Conway, and Trent touched at Madeira on the 15th, 22d, and 29th Oct. respectively. The Duke of Oporto had visited Madeira, re maining there 10 days. THE NEW PRUSSIAN MINISTRY. We believe the following will be found - to be a correct list of the new Prussian Ministry : Prince Hohenzollern—President of the Council. Baron Rudolph von Auerswald—Minister with out a Portfolio. Baron Schleinitz—Foreign Affairs. Von Patow—Finance. M. Flottwell—lnterior. Von Bonin—War. Von Bethmann-Holweg—Public Instruction. The Ministers for Commerce. and Justice are not yet named, but it is possible that MM. von der Heydt and Simons may be permitted to reoccupy the posts from which they have recently been dis missed. With regard to the new Ministry, we may re mark that Baron Schleinitz was Minister for Foreign Affairs in 1849, when the King took the oath to the Constitution, from which position he was ejected by the intrigues of Baron Manteuffel. M. von Auerswald was President of the Ministry in 1848, immediately after the revolution. He is 0. stanch Liberal, very popular, and leads the Right Centre in the House of Representatives. M. von Patow is a decided Liberal, and has el' ways been opposed to the extension of the army. As it is known that the Regent is favourable to such an extension, at least so far as the officers are concerned, it would appear that he has waived this point of difference in order to secure the services of M. von Patow. The appointment of General von Bonin as Mini ster of War is a direct defiance to Russia, at whose demand he was dismissed from the same post during the Crimean War. M. von Bethmann-Holweg, leader of the Left Centre, and of the Liberal Protestant party, re fused to sit in the late Assembly because the King would not dismiss his Ministers when defeated by overwhelming majorities. M. Flottwell has not as yet sided with any party. With regard to other arrangements, it is under stood that Baron Bunsen was invited by the Regent to repair to Berlin with the intention of offering him a portfolio in the Ministry, on the formation of which the Baron's advice was taken. For the present, however, it is decided that he will not enter the Ministry, as he prefers to take his seat as an independent member of the Upper House. It is reported that Count Pourtales and Baron Use dom will be appointed to high offices, and it is understood that important changes are pending in the Prussian diplomatic corps. Of the late Ministry it will be remarked that they could not be expected to resign, as they had all along declared that they would remain in office till the King dismissed them. After having been plainly informed by the Regent that the time for their resignation had arrived, and, still continuing to cling to office, the Regent had no choice left him but dismissal. The Prince of Hohenzollern, the father of the Queen of Portugal, is a man of great political in sight and military acquirements. He is, though Roman Catholic, a decided Liberal, and his noml nation to the Presidency of the Council is a strong proof that the Regent, a strong Protestant, fully appreciates his abilities. The Prince was very popular at Dusseldorf, where he resided for some time as the Commander of a division of the Prus sian army, and it is said that his strategical know ledge, coupled with a great talent for administration , will probably lead to his filling one of the highest commands in the Prussian army should circum stances require it. THE OCEAN MAIL SER VICE. SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. 5. The Union Screw Company's steamship Athens , Captain Strutt, sailed hence to-day for the Cape of Good Hop e , ca lli ng a t D evonport f or t h e ma ils.
