THE RUS SELL ADMINISTRATION. The FULLEST and LATEST PARTICULAR S o f the TO THE ELECTORS OF SOUTH LAN CASHIRE. events consequent on the RESIGNATION o f SIR RO BERT P EEL, Richmond Hill, Liverpool, Ist J u ly, 1846. will be given in " THE WEEKLY CHRONICLE" of Sstuausor Gentlemen,—l hasten to acknowledge the receipt of a requisition, and SUNDAY, the 4th and sth of July i ns t ant. signed by more than nin e th ousan d electors of South Lancashire, in- Office, 337, Strand. viting me to become a can did ate for the seat now vacant by the elevation of Lord Francis Egerton to the peerage. To represent a constituency distinguished by its numbers, its in dustry, and its intelligence, and by Its great influet ee on the cha racter and policy of the nation, I esteem one of the highest honours to which a man may attain. With feelings of the greatest pleasure I answer y, nr call, and offer myself as a candidate for your suffrages. When I addressed you at the period of the election in the Spring of 1844, I avowed myself the strenuous advocate of perfect freedom of trade,—l stated that my experience, as a merchant, enabled me to say that it was a vital question; that it involved the freedom, the pros perity, and, probably, the peace of the country. Since that time I have to the best df my ability constantly sup ported the principles I then avowed, and it will be a continual source of gratification to me to reflect that I have given my humble exertions in aid of the Free-traders of England, by whose reasoning, energy, and prudence, the most eminent public men have been con verted, the interests of classes and the prejudices of party have been overthrown, and one of the greatest, the wisest, and I hope one of the most enduring, reforms has been peacefully achieved. I am well aware that other important measures will shortly engage a portion of that public attention which has lately been almost ex clusively concentrated upon the question of Free Trade. The state of Ireland is a cause of much anxiety; Ireland must be wisely and humanely governed, and we must diligently seek and promptly apply the true remedies for the grievances of which that country has long complained. She must no longer with justice refer to the inequality of either her Parliamentary or her Municipal Franchise; in fact, Ireland must be governed as if no sea were between us. Though much has been gained our labours will not terminate until the last fetter upon commerce and industry shall have been removed. Our opponents are powerful and fertile in resources, and it is possible that some of them may not be over scrup u l ous as to the means of arresting our progress. Vigilance, the price of freedom, continues to be the first duty of the Representatives of the People. However deficient I may be in ability, I pledge myself zealously and -con stantly to advocate your interests, which are those of the country and of mankind. Above all things, we must promote the intellectual progress of the people, and so consolidate the triumphs of industry, as we widely diffuse the blessings of a sound education. We shall thus, I hope, be enabled, at no distant period, whilst we improve the condition of the people of England, to set an example to the world of the right use of power and wealth in the extension of freedom and the preser vation of peace.—l have the honour to be, your faithful servant, WILLIAM BROWN.

A dinner, given by this society to compliment the Earl of Lincoln on his appointment to the Secretaryship of Ireland, and to which his Lordship was appointed some time since, When it was but little anticipated he would so soon have to relinquish the duties of that office, took place yesterday even at the Star :and Garter, Richmond. Alderman Hamphezy, M.P., Governor of the Society, presided. Among the guests were the following members of Parlia ment :—The Earl of Lincoln Lord C. Ha m ilt on , Lord Chi chester, Sir Charl es Napier, Sir R. Don, Feruso w Mr. Joseph H ume , Mr. Moffatt 11 - r Mr. Kemble, Mr. Bellew, M r . F. French, The O'Connor c.litame'BGenir. Kerr, ql i d, M r . i M. J. O'Connell, Mr. G rogan, and Mr. Fitzget:aTiclu.af corder of Derry, Mr. B rewster (the Irish Solicitor-eerita). Mr. Walter, Dlr. Alsager, Mr. Campbell Foster, Sir W. le nay, Mr. S. Lover, and D r . M aunsell, were also amongst the invited. His Highness Ibrahim Pacha was invited, but was unable to attend. After the usual loyal toasts, The CHAIRMAN proposed " The Army and Navy," asso ciating with the latter portion of it the name of Sir C. Napier, who, in returning thanks, expressed his belief that the peace which this country now enjoyed with the other empires of the world, and the recent settlement of the effic O ien state n ques of tour ion, navy.was mainly attrib uta b le to the present The CltainereN, in proposing the next toast, which way "The Healti of the Earl of Lincoln," expressed for imsf and on behalf of the S oc i e t y , t h e.deepest regret at thehlo his Lordship's services as S ecretary for Ireland; for, altho s u s o e o h differing from him upon many political point s , h e had the fullest confidence in his good wishes towards Ireland, and in his anxiety to serve that country. Mr. O'Connell had testi fied his approbation of the Noble Lord's conduct while he was in office, and though that time was too short to be of much practical benefit, his intentions would be gratefully remem bered by tha Irish people.--(Hear, hear.) Lord LINCOLN said, that as ha had accepted the Society's invitation when Secretary for Ireland, lie felt that additional honour had been paid him by the complimentary manner in which, he could not say his services, but his intentions, had been alluded to by the Governor of the Society, now that he appeared before them, not in an official capacity, b ut as a private gentleman and a Member of Parliament. In that ca pacity, as well as in any other, he should be proud to testify his desire for t ie welfare of Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) Witho u t looking forward to any rene wa l o f t h e connexion lie recently had with that country, he could assure them he would con tinue to feel, as he always had felt, the liveliest interest in its welfare.—(Bear, hear.) Though now relieved from the responsibilities of office, he did not forget that he still re tained those which attached to him as a representative of the people. He wished to see every spot in Ireland as flourish ing and a; populous as that which was possessed by the Irish Society. He believed that by education and enieloyme n t, by io4roving laud and establishi ng goc d farm buildings, and tur raising the moral c'ndition of the people, that obkct ;night eventually be attained. For that object !:e should use his best exertions; and in retiring from otLe be could as sure the Society that his desire to advance the general in tercets of Ireland would not in the slightest degree diminish. The CIL/lI:MAN next gave " Prosperity to Ireland," coupling with the toast the health o f L ord C. Hamilton, who conceived that the present state of political affairs would conduce to that prosperity, particularly if, as he sin cerely hoped would be the case, all parties would consent to bury in oblivion all sectarian prejudices and feelings, and unite in one common effort for the good of the cctintiy. The Chairman's health was then proposed by Lord latx ieeeN; and an appropriate acknowledgment having been made by the worthy Alderman, The company shortly after retired, much gratified with the entertainment. ness ? As the new Cabinet will undoubtedly be formed upon the most broad and comprehensive prin ciples, and without any eye whatever to Whiggism, or Toryism, or Conservatism, or Radicalism—factions which are all now, in point of fact, utterly destroyed and annihilated —may we not, without any peculiar eccentricity of view, trust, and trust sincerely, that Lord J. RUSSELL will find himself so situated as to continue the Secretaryship for Ireland in the hands of Lord LINCOLN ? He would, by so doing ensure himself an able and zealous colleague. _ A report of the greatest importance has just been made by the Select Committee of the House of Lords, apppointed to take into consideration several subjects connected with railroads. It is deeply to be regretted that some such Committee was not appointed at an earlier period, as much expense might have been saved and many evils averted, if the practical suggestions now made had been long since car ried into execution. It is, however, useless to regret that which cannot be remedied, and we can now only avail ourselves of the experi ence of past errors to prevent ourselves for the future from falling into similar mistakes. The first point to which the Committee directed their inquiries was as to the preliminary expenses attendant on obtaining Acts of Parliament; and particularly to those ren dered necessary by the standing orders of both Houses of Parliament, which have been established for the protection of public and private interests, by securing to all parties concerned full notice of the line, and the mode of its construction through the different properties affected. There is no person who has had any experience of the circumstances connected with the passing of a railway Bill through the Legislature, who must not be well aware of the trouble and difficulty entailed on the promoters of the project by the necessity of a strict compliance with the numerous and stringent standing orders, and the enormous expense attendant on proving such a compliance. In any undertaking of magni tude it has been found almost linpoccihle to comply to the letter in every instance; in fact, any clerical error whatever, the misspelling of the name of a single occupier, should ,be reported as a breach of the standing orders, although no person could be in the slightest degree deceived, or any injury inflicted thereby. Indeed the Committees of both Houses have in a great number of cases interposed themselves to do away with the effect of the extraordinary strin gency of the orders, and reported that the Bill should be permitted to pass, notwithstanding its non-com pliance therewith. The question of compliance with the standing orders has generally been selected as the battle-field by competing companies, or by parties who have had full notice as to the nature of the intended measure : indeed it is scarcely ever resorted to by those for whose especial protection the orders were originally established. It is also, as stated by the Select Committee, just as likely to succeed against the best as against the worst railway Bill. Many Bills have thereby been defeated which it would have been for the public benefit to have passed. In fact, the question of the standing orders has been Ly so much the more fiercely fought whenever it was cer tain that the measure would have received a favour able report on the merits. The heavy expenses at tendant on the present system to both the promoters and opponents of any Bill has proved a grievance of no ordinary magnitude, and we are rejoiced to find that the Committee have recommended the adoption of a new system, by which this expense will be materially diminished, and at the same time a more direct and better protection be afforded to proprietors than that which they have hitherto enjoyed. The first suggestion is, that the standing orders of both Houses relating to railways should be simplified and assimilated, and that a mode should be adopted by which proof of the compliance with these standing orders might be taken before some proper authority sanctioned by both Houses, whose report might be received as evidence of the facts by the Standing Orders' Committee. This will obviate the necessity of the proofs being twice gone into be fore different tribunals, one of whom may report a compliance, and the other, perhaps, after all the ex penses of the contest on the merits have been gone into, reporting otherwise. They also suggest that the detailed enumeration of the parishes should be dispensed with, and that in lieu thereof the usual notices should be given, indicat ing the general direction of the line, and referring to a map from the Ordnance survey, where there is one ; or if there is no Ordnance survey, from some pub lished map, on a scale of not less than half an inch to a mile, which should be deposited with the clerk of the peace in each county, on or before the last Friday in the September preceding the session in which the Bill should be applied for. The detailed notices to the owners and occupiers of land are also to be dispensed with, and in place thereof, notices should be served on them, point ing out the figures on the plan which refer t o the property, and which they recommend should be lodged in the parish at the same time, or within one week after the time of the lodgment of the Parliamentary plans in the end of November. These suggestions, if carried into effect, will be manifest improvements on the present system, as full opportunity will thereby be afforded to every one interested of examining how far his property may be affected, and taking the necessary steps for his own protection, while much trouble and expense will be spared to the promoters. The Committee also recommend that objections on the ground of non-compliance with the stand• ing orders, or to portions of lines as injuri. ously affecting private property, should be lodged with some constituted authority on or before the second Friday in January, or within six weeks after the deposit of the parish plans, and that such au thority should have power to call upon the parties for their answers, and if necessary to send down their own officers, at the expense of the company, to inspect and report thereon, and that such authority should have power to sanction the correction of inaccuracies of the plans, and to inquire into deviations suggested by the parties whose properties will be affected there by, and to report thereon, stating in what manner the deviations would affect all other properties, and recommending their adoption or rejection. The plans so corrected, together with the report including the result of the inquiry into standing orders, to be fur nished to Parliament in the course of the month of March. The constituted authority to which they refer to be empowered to act as a court of arbitra tion between the proprietors and the companies, and also between different companies, under proper rules and regulations; THE WEATHER.—SuN OFFICE, JULY 2.

The importance of these suggestions, and the vast benefit which will thereby be attained, cannot be questioned. The remaining suggestions in the report are, if possible, still more valuable, but the want Of space prevents our alluding to them this day. The Levant Mail has arrived, bringing intelligence from Constantinople of the 17th, from Athens of the 20th, and from Malta of the 22d June. The Journal de Constantinople, of the 16th, gives the following account of the return of the SULTAN to MS capital : " The Sultan arrived here on the 14th from Roumelia. His Majesty landed at the Kiosk of Kalender, where the Sultana Valide, his mother, and all the grand dignitaries of the empire came to meet him. The Sultan remained a short time, and at three o'clock set out for the capital. The two banks of the Bosphorus were lined with troops and spectators, and salutes were fired from all the batteries and the ships in the Bosphorus, which latter were dressed out for the occasion. The Sultan stopped twice before he reached the palace of Teherghan, first at Bebek, at the residence of the Sultana Athie, wife of Ahmed Fethi Pacha, and next at the palace of D etterdar-Bournou, the residence of the Sultana Adile, wife of Mehemet Ali Pacha. After conversing with his two sisters, the Sultan proceeded direct to his palace. He was received by the population, on the entire line of the proces- sion, with great demonstrations of joy, and in the evening a great part of the city was illuminated." The sudden return of the SULTAN was occasioned by the dangerous illness of one of his wives. He was informed of her illness at Silistria, and immediately set out for Varna, from whence he embarked for Constantinople. Sir STRATFORD CANNING was still at Constantinople, and it was supposed that he would delay his departure until after the departure of lkiznumET Am. HAanD BET was to leave Constan tinople on the 20th for Alexandria, for the purpose of accompanying the PActrA of Egypt to the Turkish capital. The dispute with Persia still continued un settled. Ae‘zonuts from Athens of the 20th, state that the King and Queen of GREECE had returned from their THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 2, 1846. tour. The country still continued to be infested with brigands. The Duchess DE PLAISANCE, proceeding with a party of friends to her country house in the neighbourhood of Athens, had been stopped within two leagues of Athens by a band of robbers, and MEGARA, the brigand, had stopped the King's horses and baggage, and extorted a ransom from the grooms. There had been several earthquakes in Greece. With regard to the Greek loan, it was reported that the Russian Ambassador had received directions to co-operate entirely with the Ambassador from England. The Indian Mail, from Alexandria, had not arrived at Malta when the Levant mail left. The Nuremburg Correspondent publishes a letter from Berlin, from which we extract the following : " On the 10th June a report was current that all the great European powers had acceded to the desire of Austria to occupy Ancona, as an indispensable measure for preventing disturbances in Italy. France assented, but stipulated for certain conditions, which were granted. It was not known whether a Corsican brigade was to be allowed to garrison Civita Vecchia. The measures cf Austria, however, were not confined to Ancona, but extended to the whole of the legation and the neighbouring towns of Jesi, Osuno, and Sinigaglia." The Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort has a letter from Poland, dated the 18th, saying:—" Twenty Russian soldiers and an officer have crossed the Vistula at Magna, and deserted into Galicia. Two Russian soldiers have told me that they amounted to as many as forty, but the colonel was anxious to conceal the number. Two Russian officers have cut their throats, but the cause is not known. SZELA is in prison at Tarnow." The Diario di Roma of the 20th inst. states that the POPE had fixed the following day for his corona tion, and had that morning, in anticipation of the ce remony, distributed in alms one paul (about 11 sous French) to each dell the poor of the capital. A ple nary indulgence was also to be granted to all the faithful of both sexes who were truly repentant, had confessed and taken the sacrament, and should attend at the coronation, and partake devoutly of the bene diction to be givert on that day by hi. IT OLTvESS from his gallery (lo ei -itisthe Vatican, or should on that day visit that basilick, and put up prayers to the DI VINE MAJESTY for the exaltation of the holy mother church, for peace and concord among Christian princes, and for the extirpation of heresy. On the 21st the coronation took place. His HOLI NESS went in great state from Monte Cavallo to the Church of St. Peter. In his carriage were seated Cardinal PIGNATELLT, Archbishop of Palermo, and Cardinal MoElco, the Patriarch of Venice, and every where on his passage he was saluted with the loudest acclaniations. Madrid papers of the 25th have arrived. The Government have received dispatches from Lisbon of the 22d. The attempt at exciting a Miguelite insur rection was regarded as too contemptible to excite alarm. The Miguelites at Monte Allegre mustered only about forty men, and a force of 350 men had been dispatched from Chaves to put down the move ment. The arrival of SALDANHA at Lisbon was anxiously expected. The Tiempo, in an ably-written article, advocates the marriage of the QUEEN with her cousin, Don ENRIQUE. The QUEEN goes to La Granja on the Bth of July.

TheWe have received in an a theParis on papers of w Tuesd e a t y w . een Mexico and the United States, says France ought to endeavour by every means to promote the absorption of Mexico by the United States. This, for a journal which is eternally protesting against the absorption of Poland by the three great Powers is tut pm fort, but the perfide Albion wishes to maintain the inde pendence of Mexico, and the fact that perfide Albion is in this instance the advocate of justice and liberty is quite a sufficient reason with the National for ranging itself on the side of injustice, oppression, and slavery. The following is an extract from the article in question : " If we in reality posssess an influence which we cannot renounce without deserting our duties, we ought to exercise it in the manner most advantageous to Mexico. And be it remarked, our duty is in conformity with our interests. What can we most desire for the old Spanish colony? That it should take root in the country which can afford it those elements of prosperity which it wants. Our generous inter vention would become a fault if it ended in the abandonment of Mexico to the profit of our adversaries. In other words, we desire to see this country as happy as it can be without its adding to the power of our real rivals. Well, then, we demand of our statesmen, in all sincerity, if the question so put is not decided. Is it not North America, which her natural situation, the genius of her inhabitants, and the form of her institutions summon to inherit the sovereignty of Mexico ? What is wanting to this territory so marvel lously endowed by nature ? Instruments of labour more than capital. Gold mines have not prevented her fall and her ruin ; it is for human activity, manufactures, and agriculture, to fertilise this soil, which is impoverished by its riches. Allow, then, the American pioneers to clear the way for manufactures, and you will soon behold the pro digies, of which North America offers us the admirable spec tacle, renewed on the far more wealthy territory which Cor tez formerly conquered for Spain. And why should France oppose it? Will it be maintained that it is better to aug ment the preponderance of England, and add a new empire to the immense possessions_ which she has made a conquest of by violence or cunning in all runs of the world? Is it our interest that she should assume in the Gulf of Mexico the position which she occupies in India? Does she not already weigh too heavily in . the balance? And between these two nations, one of which in immediate contact with France, continually annoys us; and the other, too distant to injure us, promises, on the contrary, an increase of useful relit. tions. For which ought to be our preference? A rupture with England is amongst the probabilities of the future. However distant may be the moment, the fact still is that we shall have to regret at that solemn hour having, by our own act, ren dered more numerous the unfavourable chances of the strug gle.

Lord John Russell returned to town from a visit to her Majest at Osborne House yesterday afternoon. His Lord ship travelled by the express train on the South-Western Railway. The train stopped at the Wimbledon station to set down his Lordship, who 'proceeded thence to his villa, where he joined Lady Russell, and returned with her Lady ship to town. Shortly after the arrival of the Noble Lord in Chesham place, the Duke of Bedford had an interview with his Lord ship. At three o'clock, by an antecedent arrangement, a meeting of Noblemen connected with the Liberal party took place at the residence of Lord John Russell, in Chesham-place. The Marquis of Lansdowne, the Earl of Clarendon, the Earl of Minto, Viscount Palmerston, Lord Cottenham, Lord Marcus Hill, Sir Denis Le Marchant, and Mr. Tufnell were present at the meeting. The Noble Lords remained in deliberation for two hours. The Duke of Bedford was not present at the meeting. After the meeting broke up Lord John Russell left his residence on horseback, and proceeded to Apsley House, where his Lordship had an interview with his Grace the Duke of Wellington. The Noble Lord was closeted with the Gallant Duke for nearly an hour. Lord John Russell subsequently called on several of his political friends. At six o'clock last evening there was a very numerous meeting of Liberal Peers at Brookes's Club. The Noble Lords who attended the meeting at Lord John Russell's were among those present. Lord Cottenham, it is said, is definitively appointed to the woolsack. His Lordship had an interview with the Ac countant-General yesterday, and will take possession of the seals to-morrow. The Earl of Minto will proceed, it is stated, to Vienna. At the moment of the break-up of the late Administration his Lordship was about proceeding on a continental tour, together with his; family. The arrangements which had been already made in reference to the Noble Lord's departure have been changed. The Earl of Auckland, it is stated, is to be First Lord of the Admiralty. The Earl of Ellenborough vacated his official residence yesterday, and has taken a mansion in Grosvenor-crescent. Earl Spencer is spoken of as likely to succeed the Earl of Jersey as Master of the Horse. The Earl of Clarendon dined with a select circle last even ing at Lord Dinorben's, in South Audley-street. The Marquis of Lansdowne dined, together with the Earl of Minto and Earl Fortescue, at Lord Monteagle's, in Upper Brook-street, last evening. Viscount Palmerston also entertained a select circle of friends at dinner last evening. The Earl of Clarendon had an interview with the Duke of Bedford after the meeting at Lord John Russell's yesterday. Lord Joh!i Russell dined at home last evening. —Times. The intelligence from Algiers is to the 25th Nothing was said of the return of Marshal BUGEAUD , and the Duke D'AUMALE bad postponed his own de. parture from the colony, in order to visit Constantine. The Commerce says that the Duke DECAZES will, at Copenhagen, meet the lissian Diplomatist, Count" BENICENDORFF, to lay down the bases of a reconcilia tion between the Court of the Tuileries and St. Pe tersburgh, and that the Prince DE JOINVILLE and the the Duke D'AuatAla will shortly pay a visit to the Neva. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was more ani mated, but there was no alteratfon in prices. Sales 6,000 bales, of which 500 were for export. Shares were steady. The differences arising out of the Corn Bill coming into operation, which prevailed yesterday and the day before, as to the duties to be levied upon beans, rye, and oats, have been surmounted, and those who paid 38. 6d. per quarter on those articles of produce in taking them from the bonded warehouses, under protest, will receive the amount of the surplus charge back. The duties payable now are, according to the averages made up to Saturday last, 58. per quarter upon wheat, 4s. per quarter upon barley, ls. 6d. per quarter upon oats, 2s. per quarter upon rye, 2s. per quarter upon beans, and 2s. per quarter upon peas. The clearances of bonded grain of all sorts yesterday were very great indeed, in the port of London, and no doubt at Liverpool, Hull, and other places where import s o f corn came i n most abundantly. It is currently reported in City circles that in the evelt of Lord John Russell being enabled (as no doubt he will) to form a firm Cabinet, that Mr. Hawes, the Member for Lam beth, will have a secretaryship, or other office, in the Board of Trade. A fresh election must, of course, occur if the Hon. Member takes a situation under Goverment, but there is no doubt but that he will be re-elected without any opposition ; and a most useful member of the Ministry he will be if he receives an appointment. There has not been any late arrivals from the British Colonies to-day. The Consol Market has been rather firm within the last hour or two, the price for the account having improved from 951 to 95 1 / 2 . The Reduced Three per Cents. have ruled rather heavy at 95 1 / 2 1%, but the New Three-and. a-Quarter per Cents. are firm at 9674. The premium up on Exchequer bills is up to 14 s . Bank Stock has been sold at 206%. The old Brazilian Five per Cents. have advanced this morning to 85. The expectation is that Lord John Russell will bring forward, and carry, a Bill for the reduction of the duty upon foreign sugars, and that the Brazils planters will come in for their full share of the benefits to be conceded no doubt., Mexican Stock has fallen to 26%. The Portu guese Five per Cents. were at 81 ; the Dutch Two-and-a- Half per Cents. at 60 1 / 2 ; and the Four per Cents. were at 93 3 4. The Railway Share Market is rather fiat, with but little business doing. IIitITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.) Bank Stock .. .• • • • • • . 20634 Three per Cent.

On withdrawing from office, Sir ROBERT PEEL has very naturally availed himself of the prerogative coincident with aMinisttrial ret i rement, by the creation of a batch of seven baronets. Among the fortunate personages who have received this mark of distinction we recognise the names of such men as JOHN GLADSTONE, of Fasque, Esq.; WILLIaIu FIELDEN, of Feniscowles, Esq.; and Sir MOSES MoNTEnion,E, of East Cliff Lodge, Knight. With this distribution of dignities we are by no means inclined to quarrel, satisfied that in nominating such recipients Sir ROBERT has been influenced by an appreciation of the services conferred upon the public b y those seven indi viduals. He has, indeed, afforded another proof that such are the principles which have regulated his distri bution of honours and emoluments, by granting a pen sion of 2001. per annum to Mr. M'CuLLocu, irrespective of the opposition his A dministration has received from that gentleman, and solely because of the usefulness of Mr. M'Cuu.ocia's labours in elucidating the science of political economy. how comes it, however, that in thus distributing national rewards to national benefactors, the recent list of baronets omitted the name of SIR RICHARD ConDEN ? Is he not truly a great national benefactor ? has not the ex -Premier himself most nobly proclaimed the fact ? and would it not be worthy of this glorious era of commercial freedom to confer upon KIRkALDY, - JUNE 28.—Arrd.

THE NEW MINISTRY. LORD Jowl RUSSELL.--Circulars were issued by his Lordship this morning to all bis leading political friends. It is understood that his Lordship has appointed a meeting this afternoon at his residence in Chesham place, Belgrave-square, but nothing positive is known. Mr. LABOUCHERE visited Lord JOHN RUSSELL this morning, and had an interview with his Lordship. Lord Joux RUSSELL afterwards rode out on horse back. The Treasury messengers have been in attendance on the Noble Lord this morning in Chesham-place. THE COURT. —MY MAJESTY, Prince ALBERT, and the royal suite, are expected to arrive at Buck ingham Palace about six o'clock this afternoon, from Osborne House, Isle of Wight. Among the many interesting circumstances atten fent upon the recent breaking up of the PEEL Ad ministration, hardly one possesses more peculiar im portance than the banquet given to the Earl of LiNcoLN yesterday evening, at Richmond, by the Irish Society. In .that celebration of the abilities and integrity Which have so remarkably characterised the exertions of the late Secretary for Ireland, we perceive the glimpses of an approaching advantage to our sister country. Possibly we may be the more induced to credit such propitious presentiments from an anxiety to see them realised ; but, unquestionably, many fortuitous circumstances have latterly tended to render us more sanguine in their regard. Party prejudices, sectarian intolerance, and political animo sities, appear to be gradually subsiding, and a feel ing of goodwill towards the population of Ire land generally arising instead. Everything has lately demonstrated the fact that liberal mea sures, with reference to the Irish population, are infi nitely more popular amongst our representatives than of yore : the grant to Maynooth proved this ; the re jection of the Coercion Bill proved this; and the Richmond dinner to Lord LINCOLN is an additional and emphatic evidence that the interests of that island have acquired and are acquiring advocates for them selves among all classes of politicians. The absence of all violent or vituperative expressions in the letter of Mr. O'CONNELL, to which we yesterday directed attention, shows that that uncompromising patriot is, to a considerable extent, satisfied with the promising aspect of the futurity in store for the denizens ofhis native country. Unless there were decisive and unmistakeable tokens that good was likely to accrue to Hibernia, and that a better spirit was beginning to animate our legislators for the amelioration of her sufferings, O'CONNELL would undoubtedly have availed himself of the opportunity of the present interregnum in Parliamentary matters to give some more startling demonstration of the necessities of his fatherland, than that afforded by his very temperate missive to the Repeal Association. And unless Sir ROBERT PEEL had recognised, not only the possibilities, but the extreme probabilities, of affording to Ireland such a benignant Government as would ensure her internal prosperity and her domestic contentment, he would never have terminated his illustrious career, as First Minis ter of the Crown, with language so encouraging or so explicit. Considering all the indications of leniency in the forthcoming Administration towards the " isle of the ocean," it is manifest that a powerful impression in her regard is now pervading the poli tical world—an impression (or might we not say a conviction ?) that Ireland can be withdrawn from the slough of despondency and destitution to the enjoy ment of those privileges and blessings to which she is so especially entitled both by the fecun dity of her soil and the generous character of her inhabitants. That is the conviction which is now abroad, and with which is coupled a very prevalent determination to struggle manfully for the realisation of such a metamorphosis From the intensity of these sentiments and resolu. tions first originated the notion of doing honour to the exertions of the late Secretary for Ireland ; bu by a singular fatality, the noble: statesman, who had been invited, in his official capacity, accepted the in vitation simply as " a private gentleman and an English Member of Parliament." Brief as his career has been, Lord LINCOLN gave sufficient proofs of hi s desire to promote the welfare of those millions who were, to a certain extent, submitted to his care and supervision, as to identify him among the friends of the suffering Irish ; and sufficient also to give an assurance that had his continuance in office been even of reasonable duration, he would have entitled himself to have been classed among her noblest benefactors. Those measures which, previous to the retirement of Sir ROBERT'S Ministry, Lord LINCOLN had introduced to the House of Commons —measures for the alleviation of many agrarian grievances, and for the better adjustment of the relations subsisting between landlord and tenant in Ireland—proved of themselves the liberal and generous policy Noble Earl as Chief Secretary would have wli fo ic s h ter t e li d e and maintained. Th ese t est i monies of his intentions to improve the Irish population have rendered his name popular amongst the ranks of the Irish Reformers; they caused the attendance of such Members as Lord C. HAMILTON, the O'CoNoit DON, Sir CHARLES NArIER, Mr. M. J. O'CoN NELL, and Mr. flumE, at yes terday's banquet; and elicited even from "The Libera tor" himself the assurance of the great pleasure he would have experienced in attending upon that occa sion. Among all classss and divisions of opinion -in political matters the prevailing sentiment is, that in Lord LINCOLN Ireland will lose a man whose con tinuance in office,. as Chief Secretary, would.have en tailed remarkable blessings upon her population. Would it not be judicious, if not absolutely ad visable, to maintain the Earl of LINCOLN in that position under Lord Joins RUSSELL'S Adminis tration, precisely as the Duke of WELLINGTON is presumed to continue in power as the Commander in -Chief, and ns the Earl of DAuroustE is pre sumed to remain in office for the ad- vantageous superiuteudence of the railway busi- to 5s 10d ; Veal, 3s 4d to 4s 4d ; and P per Sibs, to sink the offal.

The Committee next took the above line, and Mr. WRITE HURST, Q.C., opened the case briefly on behalf of the pro moters, stating that this was a branch to supply a communica tion in an agricultural district where it was much wanted, the several portions of which would be shown in the evidence. He called Mr. Gambles, but a long discus sion ensued between the Learned Gentleman and Mr. Sergeant Wrangham as to whether the latter could appear on behalf of Mr. Childers, M.P., who had presented a petition on behalf of himself and others, trustees of Hat field Chase, as well as for other landowners. Whitehurst contended that Mr. Childers could only appear as a petition ing landowner on his own behalf, and as the line did not touch his laud at all, he was clearly out of court. GRAND REVIEW AT wooLWICII (THIS DAY.) The long anticipated review of the Royal Horse Artillel took place this day.

PRICE OF GOLD. —The premium on gold at F a ris isf 0 16 per min e , wh i ch, at the English Mint price se 31. 17s. 10id. per ounce for standard gold, gives an excllll:st of 25 55; and th e exchange at Paris on Loudon at S'ay.o being 25 70, it f o ll ows that gold is 0.58 per cent. dearer e , London than in P ar i s. By advices from Hamburgh price of gold is 435 per mark, which, at the English 3 e;,.. price of 3/. 17s. 100. per oz. for s t an d ar d gold, gives an e go change. of 13,10, and th e exc h ange at Hamburgh on Len' t, at short being 13 11, it f o ll ows that gold is 0.46 per cep f dearer in Lond on th an i n Hamburgb. The course ,° exchange at New Yo r k on L on d on is 108 per cell; ; and the , par of ex c h ange b etween England and Ansert„ being 109 23-40 p er cent., it follows that the ego change is 1.58 per cent. against England. But quoted exchange at New York being for bills at si l4 days' sight, th e i nterest must ba deducted from the abe's,o difference. - THE FURNITURE BROKERS' BENEVOLENT INsTITC.

A verdict for the defendant was given, with leave for the plaintiffs to move that the verdict be set aside and one en tered for them, should the Court be of opinion that there was sufficient evidence to take the case out of the statute of limi tations. MARLBRO'-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) George Johnson, a young man of shabby appearance, was charged with uttering a counterfeit sovereign. It appeared that between nine and ten o'clock last evening, the prisoner entered the shop of Mr. Wm. Shea», of No. 44, Upper Marylebone-street, Oxford. street, haberdasher and hosier, and asked to look a t some cotton half-hose, which were shown bim, and he selected four pair, directing them, with change for a sovereign, to be immediately sent to No. 28, Cirencester-place, Fitzroy-square. Two of the prosecu tor's daughters took the goods as directed. In Cirencester place they were met by the prisoner in company with ano ther man; he said he would not trouble them to go any fur ther, and gave the eldest Miss Shean a sovereign, and she handed him the change, 16s. On sounding it on the pave ment she discovered it to be bad, and at the instant the pri soner and his companion set offrunning; she pursued, calling " Stop thief," and after following him through several streets he jumped into a cab, and was being driven off at a rapid rate, when police-constable Hughes, 114 J, succeeded in stopping the horse and taking him into custody. The prisoner said he did not wish to make any answer to the charge. Constable Hughes said that no doubt the cabman was a confederate. It was the practice now of smashers to have a cab waiting at a certain spot to facilitate escape. If the prisoner was remanded he had no doubt but that he should be able to bring between twenty and thirty other cases against ; him. Mr. HAftnwicK said he should fully commit Lim on the present charge, but order him to be brought up again this day week. ----- IBRAHIM PACHA' S VISIT ` TO THE.

But the full num ber of Members not having arrived until half-past twelve o'clock, business was not proceeded with till that hour. They then proceeded to consider the objections raised to the levels of the three Warwickshire lines, in connexion with the London and Birmingham Railway Company, and on the narrow gauge, namely, vroncEsTrat AND WEEDON, 1-IATi'IrPrOTAT AND asucHuncu, AND BANBURY. The CHAIRMAN observed that the Committee would take the first seven miles of the Worcester and Weedon, which had been reported on as samples of the levelling on the whole. Mr. AUSTIN, for the promoters, said that he was ready to put in evidence to disprove the alleged erroneousness of the levels. The CHAIRMAN said, which evidence the Committee have decided not to hear.

The several clauses of this Bill were gone through in Com , mittee. GOUP LIII. This Committee re-asse ß mbled to-day pursuant to adjourn . ment, at the usual hour, in Room 26, Grand Corridor, New Houses of Parliament. Present, the Hon. B. Lascelles (chairman), the Earl of Arundel and Surrey, and Captain Dalrymple. sznzmwsnuitir AND nntranorGaam. On being called upon by the Hon. CHAIRMAN to proceed with this Bill, Mr. Harz said—With regard, Sir, to the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Bill, I should state to the Committee that they will probably remember that there were two Bills standing before you for the construction of a line from Birmingham to Shrewsbury, • and another from Wolverhampton to Birming ham. It is proposed, of course, that both compani es s h ou ld not execute a line between Wolverhampton and Birming ham. I believe that the Bill for the line between Wolverhampton and Birmingham can be proceeded with. With regard to the Shrewsbury and Birmingham you will probably remember that an amalgamation was come to between them and . the Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton Company. The arrangements, in order to carry out that object, are very complex, and I am afraid that we shall not be able to do anything with that Bill to-day; but the Bill with :regard to Wolverhampton and Birmingham is ready, and can, in fact, be now proceeded with. BIRMINGHAM, WOLVERHAMPTON, AND STOUP. VALLEY (rintraINGILLIDT, WOL VERHAMPTON, AND DUDLEY LINES). This Bill was accordingly proceeded with, and the preamble declared to be proved. On the clause with respect to sta tions being read, Mr. COCKBURN, said that the party whom he re presented proposed to insert a clause, the effect of which would be to regulate the situation of the stations of the two Companies at Wolverhampton. The Committee were aware that both parties had scheduled the same land as the site of their stations, and there was to be, as they were aware, a double station at the high and the low level. Now, it so happened that the land of both par.. ties scheduled for the purposes of stations, was intersected by the canal in that district; and he proposed, therefore, a clause that should give this Company one side of the canal, and that party which he represented, the other side. The effect of the clause (which the Learned Counsel read and put in) would be to restrict the Companies to a particular side of the canal. Mr. HOPE, on the part of this Company, objected to the clause. A long discussion ensued. au: provex but tb ever, i ably 0 Lau marks langui RED' The tin g a i place ] race a on the for, ni well a of 3 - ac Harwi The tl Agnes, 6 ; Ro Inetry, Then c 10 ton ; with ol will be make I time] end ')reed 3 'mi n 41,st, plisc Ye RE has b amt Lapp( Adve B I has t
