Another conspicuous politician has disappeared from amongst us—Viscount MELBOUNNB having de parted life yesterday, in the seventieth year of his age, and amidst the seclusion of his ancestral residence at Brocket Hall, Hertfordshire. A statesman of honourable reputation; a politician of severely tested consistency ; a publicist whose urbanity re mained unruffled during the bitterest recriminations ; an administrator of constitutional indolence, but of conscientious honesty ; a debater remarkable rather for the tartness of his felicitous repartees, than for the ornate splendours of eloquence,—Wuxicu LAMB has left for the remembrance of posterity the souvenirs of a life brilliant if not extraordinary, tarnished by many blemishes but adorned also by many virtues, and those virtues creditable to himself and advantageous to his contemporaries. From the period of his birth, on the 15th of March, 1779, until that of his death on the 24th of Novem ber, 1846, the deceased nobleman lived in the midst of political contentions and of national anxieties which, for a considerable time, affected himself in vidually. Nor is it consolatory to reflect that the invidious misconstruction recently placed upon what is called, in the slang of party, the " T. Y. Corre spondence," is understood to have imbittered the last hours of the d e p ar t e d s tatesman, and to have has tened, in some measure, the moments of his dis solution. Under the tutorship of Professor MILLAR. at Glas gow, whither he had proceeded from Trinity College, C ambridge, NVILLI.s.ss Lkust first imbibed those prin jur-jsprudencz, ciples in and that familiarity with political occurrences, were afterwards his qua lifications for conducting Britain. .Government of the qualifica tions,amm.cohrTehostsreitlyofangigantic empire of Great g it may be observed, we character --derived e c r— d development e r v e o d f exoteric than of an esoterriecany rather from the unsystematic pursuit of intellect than from of the advantages of professional aptittude nominal adoption, therefore, of the career of a i nn i s . consult—(LAMß having been entered at Lincoln's Inn, 21st July, 1797, and been called to the bar, 23d, November, 1804) —exercised no perceptible or appre ciable influence over the calling forth of his energies. A negligent participation in the legislative responsi bilities of the House of Commons during a period of nearly twenty years, dating from 1805, prepared the young aspirant for the enormous labours, the exalted dignities, and the distracting uncertainties of administration. And during that long appren ticeship as one of the popular representatives, he was returned at successive elections by the consti tuencies of Leominster, of the Haddington district of burghs, of Portarlington, of Peterborough, and of Hert fordshire ; his model as a politician being the illus trious orator CHARLRS Fox. Under the Government Of GBORGB CANXINCI, the future Premier was further drilled into the habits of administration by his nomination to the Chief Secretaryship under the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, an ap pointment which he continued to preserve on Lord GODBRICH'S accession to office, and even during the Ministry of his Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON. Immediately before the agitation for Parliamentary Reform a variety of events transpired I ' ‘wlllito)tended to exercise a remarkable influence over the--cleslinies of the Hon. WILLIAM LAMB. In 1828 he was dismissed from the Chief-Secretaryship for . Irelaoad-, , in consequence of his participating in the endear/mar to compass the disfranchisement of East - , Retf,d. in 1828, or, the 25th of January, his wife, Ladpfl.s.aoLlyn PONSONEY, to whom he had been uttred on the 3d of Juno, 1805, and from whom he - JV had been subsequently estranged, departed this life—their son, the Hon. G. A. F. LOMB, dying afterwards on the 27th of November, 1836. In 1828, on the 22d of July, his father, the first Lord NfELBOURNE, breathed his last breath ; and, conse quently in that same year the subject of our present observations took his seat for the first time in the Upper House of Parliament. There it was that he occupied a prominent post during the Grey Adminis tration, holding the seals of the Hom e Secretar y ship from 1830, until the brief interval between the July and the November of 1834, during which interval he exer cised the authority of the first Minister of the Crown. On the conclusion of the equally brief Adminis tratio n of Sir ROBERT PEEL, Viscount MELBOURNE was again entrusted with the responsibilities attached to the formation of a Government. And, unlike the preceding Prime Ministers of the nineteenth cen tury, he continued to act as First Lord of the Trea sury for a period of nearly seven years, from the April of 1835 to the September of 1841. I3earing in recollection the whole of the Minis terial career of Lord MELnouneir, both in the reign of his late MAJESTY and in that of our present most Gracious SOVEREIGN, we are satisfied that his memory will be preserved in history, and will be honoured by positerity chiefly from his having instilled into the heart of his young Q UEEN a respec t f or the constitutional rights of her subjects, a sense of the responsibilities associated with her august rank, and a genuine yearning for the happiness of the great people over whom she had been called by GOD and Destiny to preside. We say this with a per fecit remembrance, and a full appreciation, of the prin cipsd measures of reform passed while Lord MEL BOURNE was Premier of England. We bear in mind the improvement effected in the Irish corporations, the step innde towards the introduction of an effective poor lave into the sister country, the Irish Compensation Tithe Act, the adoption of the admirable system of penny postage, end the union of the two Ganadas. And yet, remembering these excel lent tiles possessed by the late nobleman for celebrity as a Reformer, we are satisfied that his name will be inscribed on the pages of history, prin cipally, if not entirely, as that of the statesman v,ho instructed Queen VICTORIA in the mysteries of government. For this his memory Nall be long cherished, when the remembrance of his blithe and convivial disposition has been forgotten, when witty sayings have lost their lustre, when the laxity of his domestic life has been hidden in oblivion, and when none are left to tell of the once handsome statesman who lounged for seven years on the Treasury benches of the House of Peers, warding off the vituperations of his most furious antagonists by his own unconquerab'e amenity, and shielding himself with the negligent vivacity of his replies from the odium that must ' otherwise have fallen heavily and crushingly, in con- sequence of his Ministerial procrastination. We must again urge upon the proprietors of rail way stock the expediency, if not the imperative necessity, of mutual co-operation, for the purpose of protecting their property from the persevering and systematic attacks made thereon. some immediate and decisive measures must be adopted, if they are not disposed to yield themselves up an easy prey to their assailants, to fall contented victims. The vic tory is within their power if they will only struggle to attain it. Their assailants are fierce and implacable, ready to take advan tage of every circumstance that may arise, to distort facts, awl to turn to their own advantage matters that should have led to very opposite results. they will combine together for offensive purposes. Why should not those who are endeavouring to pre serve themselves and families from ruin act in a similar manner ? They have ample power, if that power were only concentrated and made available. The capital in which they are interested amounts to more than 160,000,0001. sterling; the annual income that will be derived therefrom may be estimated to pro duce at the very lowest calculation 10,000,0001. per an num (it amounted to 6,366,000/. for the year ending June, 30, 1847). Surely with such'gigantic resources at their disposal, they should not relinquish the con test without a determined struggle. As we have I already impressed upon them, any isolated efforts will prove utterly useless, but energetic and combined action must command success. " Fes est ab hoste doceri." Au instructive and valuable lesson may be learned from the pro ceedings of their opponents. How unceasing have been their exertions. 'What weapon of at tack has been permitted to rust in its scabbard ? The distress and suffering encountered by all classes during the recent period of monetary derangement has been unhesitatingly ascribed to the sums ex pended i❑ the construction of the several railway 3. The money (it is said) has been abstracted from other branches of business. Conimerce and manufacture have pined from the amount so withdrawn— ' and these most unwarranted imputations have served as pretexts to call upon the Legislature to im pose new and most stringent restrictions upon their 1 1 undertakings, to interfere most unjustifiably with the management of the works constructed with their own capital,lthe fruits of their own enterprise. How vigorous and unflinching have been the onslaughts made from this quarter and on this subject, although it was notorious that the money only changed hands, that no portion thereof was sent out of the kingdom, that greater activity was induced in every department of trade by the expenditure, and that beneficial employment was thereby provided for a quarter of a million of persons, who were enabled to support themselves and families in comfort and independence in place of being burdens upon the national resources, and dragging out a miserable existence in the various workhouses. Again, while one party was declaiming upon the exorbitant profits, and calling upon the Legislature to impose enormous taxes upon the companies, another, with equal audacity, was declaring that no real profit was derived that divi dends were provided out of capital, and that when the capital accounts were closed, there would not be sufficient to pay the working expenses, and the several guarantees and liabilities in which the companies were involved. We had publications professing to show the " fallacy of railway invest ment," the necessity of at once and for ever aban doning so unprofitable a concern. Statements were published of the accounts of the principal com• panies in the Weekly Share List., a journal sanctioned by the, committee of the Stock Exchange, and brought out under the superintendence of the secre tary of the railway department of the Stock Ex change. It is scarcely necessary to show how erro neous were the calculations and unwarranted the con clusions thus brought forward. The authentic docu ments that subsequently appeared so completely refuted the assertions put forward, and exhibited results so totally at variance with those submitted in the Sha.-e List, that it wou ld b e a wor k o f supererogat i on to The only bring for war d anot h er sy ll a bl e i n reference thereto. directors possible possessed justification in f was onn a t t i h o a n t the not several within of the reach o f the compilers of those s t a t emen t s , an d credit was gravely Bought board s th for, on th e groun d th a t th e publicati ons h ad elicited e authentic account s f rom o tthl otherwise Af t the director s , W h ich wou2om pefnrorot been given b u t that the shareholderswere thoroughly frightened. Credit depre ciating railway property and bringing those whose necessities cornn P a e n lle a l erage, them to dispose of their shares in the interval to verge of the of ruin, they claim credit for the ser v i ce they have y rendered. As well might a doctor claim credit from a patient whom he had reduced to death' s d oor by cutting for an imaginary bullet, when assu r i ng the sufferer that he had at length discovered that ti e never had been wounded; or a person who impeached the solvency of a bank, and thus occasioned a run upon its resources, claim the thanks of the partners, for having afforded an opportuLity of proving the soundness and stability of their position, although at a heavy and most un necessary expenditure. The mischievous character of the publication, however, became so apparent that the committee (influenced by the bold remonstrance of .Jr. Mu:O5ON) forbade a continuance of those state ments in their official journal. It; might have been supposed that sufficient evil had been thereby effected —that no further effort would be made in that direc tion. But no. We are threatened with a repetition of the nuis•ence in a new form, and it is announced that the "dissection of railway accounts," hither to i published in the Share List, will be resumed in a new weekly publication, edited by the exclusive author of these articles, and, no doubt, the same mischievous ingenuity will be exhibited that already led to such lamentable consequences, if the shareholders suffer themselves again to be affrighted thereby. The cry of " wolf," however, we are told, loses its charm from constant repeti sion, and the alarm that has been given too fre quently will cease to terrify the listeners. Let the shareholders, however, see the steps taken against them, and organize a sufficient defence against the attacks of their enemies. GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. PRUSSIA. Intelligence has been received from Berlin to the 23d instant. The Prussian Stoats Anzieser of the 22d contains no official intelligence respecting the new Ministry. It appears, nevertheless, that his MAJESTY is seriously occupied with the formation of a new Cabinet at Potsdam. Not only MM. VON GaAnow and VON BECKEIZATEI are there, but also Messrs. SiatsoN and HEE.CIENHAIIN, from Frankfort. M. Sistsox is an honourable and sensible man, and will only become a -member of the Cabinet on condition that the existing conflict between the Crown and the people shall be set aside by some other way than that of an octroi constitution. The refusal to pay taxes will not place the Ministry in any monetary difficulties, partly because they have still the greater portion of the ten millions of the voluntary loan at their disposal, and partly because the refusal is very limited. They are, therefore, resolved, in case of need, to declare both Breslau and Cologne in a state of siege. The fraction of the National Assembly met this evening at the Hotel de Roper ; it has gone so far in the last reso lution that it cannot go any farther. There are numerous reports of the seizure of arms and ammunition, and the discovery of conspiracies. Several of those members of the National Assembly who had at first determined to obey the royal decree and meet at Brandenburg, have now determined to remain with their colleagues in Berlin. Among others who have joined the left is M. MILDE, ex- Minister of Trade and Commerce. There are now upwards of 260 members who have determined to remain in Berlin. The fraction which is to meet at Brandenburg will not be able to muster in sufficient numbers to make a house. The Archduke JOHN es regent of Germany, has offered military aid to the King of PRUSSIA, which his M.A.TEsTr has refused. The Gazette do Cologm , says that the civic guard have already delivered up 17,000 or 18,000 guns, and that the remainder will no doubt be given up in a day or two, and it is hoped that the state of siege will thin be raised, and also that the Brandenburg minis try will resign, the existence of which has nearly shaken the constitutional monarchy to its base; an i that the National Assembly, seeing the great respon sibility it has assumed, will give its aid too-a satisfac tory arrangement. A demonstration is in prepara tion to present an address to his :MAJESTY, at Pots dam, to raise the state of siege. It is reported that the Princes have pronounced .against the abdication of the Kiso, and declare:that . kn 'Slid :cake iliey would not accept the crown. The Cologne deputation were o.baTe.M udience of the KING at Potsdam On the 20th."1:heydemand the immediate dismissal Of the Iliiiidenbtirg . Ministry, or they cannot answer for the peace of the Rhine provinces, already excited by the execution of ROBERT BLUM. At Treves, on the 20th November, the authorities having announced that the taxes must be paid, and that they would employ force against those who should refuse to pay them, and having posted up no tices to that effect, the people attempted to tear them down, whereupon the guard interfered, and there was a conflict till the evening, the troops using their arms, and wounding many of the people. The bur gomaster was dangerously wounded. At Aix-la-Chapelle, on the 22d, a regiment of ar tillery, with six pieces of cannon and a regiment of cavalry, arrived to enforce the payment of taxes. A . t Coblentz the Civic Guard have declared that they will not aid in collecting taxes. Dusseldorf was, on November 22, declared in a state of siege. At Goerlitz the authorities have re commended the people to pay their taxes into the Communal Treasury, where they can be kept in re serve. Great agitation prevails in the environs of Halle, and in the town a conflict took place on the 19th between the National Guards and the democrats, which required the intervention of the troops. It is said that if the substitutes of the Deputies should present themselves at Brandenburg, as the Ministry hopes, the Deputies will go themselves, so as to deprive the substitutes of all power, and maintain their resolutions. In this case the Court will I think seriously of a dissolution, and even of having new elections. The refusal of the taxes has fright ened a portion of the country. Magdeburg has made a declaration of reserve similar to that of Stettin. The National Assembly has received 583 addresses of adhesion. The Chief President of the province of Silesia, PINDER, has published a proclamation, declaring his recognition of the resolution of the Assembly relative to the non-payment of taxes, and stating, if he is called on to act according to that resolution, he shall be prepared to do so. He has communicated to the Ministry his opinion that the vote was forced from the Chamber, as the only defence possible against the unconstitutional measures of the Ministry ; but any anarchical or republican attempts against public order and the constitutional monarchy he will put down instantly—the solution of the question must be a peaceful one. As a consequence of his letter he has been dismissed from his office, and M. VON SCIILEINITE has been named to succeed him. A pro clamation from him to the inhabitants of Silesia, calling on them to pay taxes, and remain in the path of legality, appears in the fiats Anzieger. Troops have been forwarded to Silesia. At Breslau the agitation continues to be very great. The city has not yet been declared in a state of siege. The disturbance there originated as fol lows :—On the 19th the leaders of the Burgherw•ehr appeared at the sitting of the civic committee of secu rity, and demanded —l. Forthwith to have the royal treasury chests placed under the protection of men who possess the confidence of the people, in order that the money may not be employed for the Brandenburg Ministry. 2. 'That men possessing the confidence of the people be summoned from the provinces. Here• upon Professor REGENDLECIIT, Messrs. SIEBEG, ROMER, GauNn, LuDEWIG, and FaoxisEaG, declared that they would resign. Proposal No. I was then carried with the following amendment:—That the committee for public security do take necessary steps for placing the treasury chests under sur veillance, in order to prevent the employment of the taxes and state monies for the Brandenburg Ministry. A deputation was then appointed to wait on the Pre sident. In answer to which that functionary de clared that he had that day written to all the Govern ment treasuries in the provinces, not to pay any monies without his permission. When this declara tion of the President of Upper Silesia was made known to the people assembled in front of the Senate House, great confusion ensued. The majority in sisted that a provisional committee should be pro claimed, and the landwehr raised the cry to arms. Upon this the giinirale was beaten, and a deputa tion of the landwehr demanded of the magistrates to give up all the arms which were stored in the Senate House, or they would he seised by force. This demand was peremptorily refused. The Senate House was, according to latest accounts, strongly guarded by the burgherwehr, and numerous military picquets were stationed in the suburbs. General VON SCHRECEENSTEIN is to be Com mander-in-chief of the troops in Silesia. THE SUN, _LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 25, 1848. four pontoons. The second corps (Tomas, corn- 1 manded by Prince DE REUSS Kurvrerz, con sists of 15 battalions of infantry and seven squadrons of cavalry, with 54 guns and one pontoon. The third, commanded by Field-Mar shal LERBIIONE, consists of 8 3-6 battalions of Grena diers (complete), 25 squadrons of cavalry, 108 guns, and eight pontoons. There remain in Vienna 17 battalion: of infantry, 10 squadrons of cavalry, in cluding the Imperial squadron of Cuirassiers, 36 guns and four pontoons. On the frontier of Hungary is stationed Major-General LINCONISKY, who retired to Goding when the whole of the Hungarian army made a movement, to attack him. He has five battalions of infantry, two squadrons of cavalry, and 12 guns. The operations about to commence will, therefore, be undertaken by 42 18-6 battalions of infantry, 34 squadrons of cavalry, 228 guns, and 10 pontoons. WINDISCEIGRATZ Will command in person. 'TEL LACHICH has proceeded to Radna, where he was re ceived with great enthusiasm, and, on being called on to speak, observed, " Gentlemen, there has been too much talking already, it is my part to act. If less had been said and more done, there would have been less unhappiness in this world." Letters from Prague and Kremser, of the 18th and 16th inst., are filled with accounts of the supple mentary elections of Deputies to the Diet about to he held in the latter place. The Austrians seemed to be filled with apprehensions that Count STADION'S Ministry will be of very reactionary character, though it is difficult to conceive what other line, save that of reaction against the Democratic fever, is open to the new Ministers. AUSTRIA. Accounts from Vienna, of the 17th, state that Professor FOSTER and SMOLK %, the President of the Diet, hare been arrested in consequence of certain re velations made by the murderers of Count LATOUR.

Moreover, large supplies were required for the army, and measures had been already resorted to in the agricultural districts to compel the farmers to sell tLeir corn to the Commis sariat. The want of silver is greatly felt in Vienna ; and even in well frequented places of public resort it t i o e e u g n t b i l a - e i n fi c t h r o m aZ e .c e r l RozriscuiLD and Co. has resolved to break up its es writes that milfcitzliytteaolis.,aeyrastiiotns es tablishment fints.esbri in irotght that sGnt aa a bfri o l er n m e t h - e fl ed or t i one-florin note proprietorst he i vs Viennaoperations aias against i i correspon dentun i rywill not be pushed into the interior of that kingdom, but that it w ill b e watched, and some towns taken possession of as garrisons.

The Sessions of the States were solemnly opened on the 17th, by the KING in person. In the speech from the Throne the following passage occurs : " The work of the German Constitution, for which the National German Assembly met at the Fame time as the Saxon States, is advancing rapidly. _ _ " I have given my entire consent t i the resolution of the 2Sth of June, by which that Assembly has formed the Central Power ; and since you, gentlemen, hare given them your constitutional suffrages, we have re sponded completely to the disposition of the Central Power. As I am firmly resolved to aid the same in future, I believe I may hope that the reLolutions of the National Assembly will not meet with nny opposition in Saxony, a❑d the more so sinco in accord will the people I shall never lose sight of the noble object of forward ing the work of the German Constitution—the unity, the liberty, and the strqugth of our great country, both at home and abroad." The Saxon Ministry has published the following notice : _ _ " The intelligence from Vienna that martial law has has been applied to Robert 131 um, Deputy of the Na tional German Assembly, has produced in Saxony n lively impression of grief and indignation. Tbe3o senti ments have been manifested in popular meetings, and have also been represented to the Government. The latter fully recognised the importartce of thi = unhappy event, as well es the duties thereby imposed upon it, and it will fulfil them. This it has already declared to the Second Chamber of the States, and it now repeats them to the whole Saxon nation. But at the same time it exhorts to prudence and moderation. The Saxon legation at Vienna has been charged to demand the acts of procedure against Blum. The Go vernment has desired the legation to give an immediate account of its conduct. It has made propositions to the Central Power of Frankfort as to the authority which is especially concerned in that event. The Government, therefore, conceives that it has done all that could rea sonably be expected in the present state of the affair. ci " But the movement and the exigenes have not stopped. At Leii sic blindtd passion has led a part of the inhabitants to violate the rights of men in regard to the Austrian Consul. The public voice has already judged that deed, and the Governatc.at hopes that, for the honour of the Saxon people, no further attempts of this kind will be made. " The citizens who were the political adversaries of Blum have been threatened ; this is exercising tyranny in the name of liberty. It has been demanded that the Government shall give the passports to the Austrian Envoy at Dresden. This would be lighting up the flames of civil war in Germany. It has even been demanded that the Saxon Ambassador in Vienna shall be con demned without being heard. This is contrary to all the principles of established justice. The Government will in duo time publish the result of the accounts which it has demanded from its envoy. " Some have invited the Government to take charge of the family of Robert Blum, but others have reserved that care for voluntary support. " The Government, considering this public declara tion as a reply to the propositions which have been ad• dressed to it, expects that on this melancholy and seri ous occasion the Saxon people will show themselves worthy of liberty, by their respect fur the laws. (Signed) " BRAN N, VON PFORDEN, G EOB GI, OBERLA ND, VON BULL A.. " Dresden, Nov. 14." It is "reported that a conspiracy has been disco vered at Leipsic, which was to burst out simultane ously, on the 18th, at Dresden. That at Dresden false keys had bees discovered for penetrating into tha town, and sounding the tocsin. That the autho rities of Leipsic have in their possession numerous papers and lists of proscribed persons. DENMARK. Letters from Copenhagen give the following list of the new Ministry :—viz., Count A. W. MouraE, President of the Council and Minister for Foreign Affairs ; BARDENFLETII, Minister of Justice ; FAHRT MAN, Marine ad interim. These were members of the old Ministry. The new members are--BAtio, for the Interior; Count SPONNECIC, Finance; Professor L\JADYIG, Cultus and Education; Proft‘ssor CLAIS SEN, Minister without portfolio. The, President; of the Council declared that the new GOvernment would follow the same principles as their predecessors, par-, titularly in regard to the internal administration of the country. According to letters from Frankfort, it seems that the difference with Denmark is not unlikely to take a better turn for the latter, and that the Central Power is not indisposed to listen to the advice of the other Powers who are guarantees for Den mark's peaceful possession of Schleswig. Lord Cow- LET has again lately made very serious remonstrances against the conduct of the new temporary Govern ment in the duchies of Schleswig Holstein as in open contradiction with the armistice. The Russian Mi nister has been charged to recal to the memory of Archduke JoHN and his Ministers the treaties be tween Russia and Denmark of 1767 and 1773, which the EMPEROR regarded as containing a formal guarantee of the possession of Schleswig for the King of Damstanx, and the fulfilment of which he could not refuse his ally if he appealed to him ; the eonsequence of such event might prove of great im portance with regard to the relations of Russia and Get many. WIRTEMBURG. The ministerial crisis has — terminated by the KING voluntarily resigning 300,000 florins per annum from his civil list—that is to say, 200,000 florins during his life, and 100,000 florins temporarily. It will be remembered that the Chambers had voted a reduction of the civil list, and that the KING had refused to ratify this resolution, which he considers an encroach ment on the Crown. The conflict induced the Cabinet to tender their resignations. ITALY. The Alba of„ Florence, under date of Rome, the 17th, gives the following account of the murder of M. Rossi. He had exasperated the people by threat ening, on the preceding day, to act vigorously against the disturbers of the public peace, and had made a great display of military force. On his getting out of his car r i age t o en t e r the Palace of the Legislature, he was hooted, and, having looked at the crowd with a sort of defiance, a man rushed forward and stabbed him in the throat.—A letter which we have received from a correspondent at Rome says—" A 3 M. Rossi was ascending the staircase of the Chamber of De puties, he was surrounded by a body of the Legi onar i (the legion re t urne d from Vicenza), one of wh om came forward a n d s t a bbed him." The assassin, pro tected by his comrades, escaped. The Osservato re T r iestine of Wednesday, the 15th instant, received this morning, has the following an nouncement : " Captain Palmer, commander of the English brig Mutine, which left Venice at cue o'clock yesterday after noon, and arrived here this day at four o'clock P.M. in forms us that the Sardinian squadron, under the com mand of Vice-Admiral Albini, which was crusing in those waters, has sailed from Venice, taking, RS it would appear, the direction of Ancona." PORTUGAL. By the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship Madrid, advices have been received from Lisbon, of the 19th. There had been a Ministerial crisis in c)nsequence of a quarrel between SALDANHA and the Marquis DE FRONTERA, the Governor of Lisbon, the latter had ordered the arbitrary deportation of a person named MENDES, to the Azores. SALDANHA had ordered MENDES to be set at liberty, and to be brought to trial in the ordinary manner. 14'uoNTERA had, thereupon tendered his resignation, which the QUEEN had refused to accept, but she at once accepted the resignation of SALDANHA, and ordered him under arrest. The rumour of his dismissal, however, nearly produced a revolt, and the QUEEN sent for him, and earnestly requested him to resume office to which he consented. This intrigue for th•? overthrow of SALDANHA, was concerted at Madrid, by NARVAEZ and COSTA CABRAL, and was supported by the Spanish Minister at Lisbon. Discount is 40 per cent. at Lisbon, and Govern ment have borrowed 42,0001. from the Birk, at a most ruinous rate. The quarantine regulations at the various ports are a source of great annoyance, and cause much delay, particularly so at Lisbon, where the detention is considerable. The letters are cut through and fumigated. GIBRALTAR. The subjoined notification has been lased by order of the Governor : Gibraltar, Nov. 14, IS4B. "Whereas it has been communicated to his Excel lency the Governer that the Beards of Health of Malaga and Algeciras have reduced the quarantine of observa tion from fifteen days to eight days, on arrivals from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, bringing clean bills of health, according to the quaran tine regulations nc.w in force at the Ports of Cadiz, Lis bon, and Virgo ; the Board of Health of Gibraltar has consequently made a similar order, which is hereby pub lished and proclaimed for the information of all concerned. "By command. _ . . . " G. ADDERLEY, Colonial Smretary. The Russian steam-frigate Ebrons had sailcd from Gibraltar for Odessa. rrh: United States frigate United States, Commodore Reed, remained in the bay. At Gibraltar the exchanges were quoted as follows: — On London, at 90 days' date, 49; Paris, sf. 29c.; Mar seilles and Genoa, sf. 30c.; at days' sight, on Madrid, 3 dis.; Cadiz, par; Malaga, par; Seville, i dis.; A hearth, and Valencia, a die.; Barcelona, die.; Spanish pillared dollars, 1 per cent. premium. THE PENIN SULAR MAIL. SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY NIGHT. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Madrid, Captain John Woks, arrived at Southamptcn this evening at half-past eight o'clock, with the usual mails in charge of Lieutenant W. I'. Newenham, R.N. Her latest dates are—Gibraltar, 16'h of No vember; Cadiz, 17th; Lisbon, 19th; Oporto, 20th; Vigo, 21st. The Madrid has brought home only seven passengers. Her cargo consists of 27 packages specie, 10 boxes of leeches, 4 cases of saffron, 165 boxes of oranges, 25 boxes of urlons, 143 boxes of pears, •109 boxes of eggs. 61 boxes of chesnuts, 10 bags ditto, 14 packages of raindrieA. Stations of her Majesty's Ships.-13th. Her Majesty's brig Racer (14) at Lisbon. 10th. Her Majesty's steam ship Polyph, mus at Gibraltar. 19th. Her Majesty's brig Racer (14) at Lisbon. Stations of Vessels of War of Foreign States— 10th. At Vigo the Minerva (8), Spanish war-schooner. 13th. At Lisbon the usual Portuguese ships of war (two fri • gates at harbour's mouth for hospital and cargo ships during the quarantine.) 15th. At Cadiz, the Blasco de Geray (S. F.) ; Cortes (44) ; R.S.V., Spanish ships of war ; Agile (10); French brig-of-war, and a Russian cutter (8), name un known. 19th. At Lisbon, the usual flew ; two frigates at Belem for quarantine purpoies. 21st. At Vigo, the Minerva (8); Spanish schooner; and a hulk for quaran tine passengers. Ships observed on the voyage-12th. C.S.P. Jupiter, homeward-bound racket, sailed the 12th from Lisbon. 19th. Off Lisbon entering the Tagus, the Plimbarton Youth, screw steamer, from England. The quarantine regulations are still rigidly enforced at the different ports, and, as a matter of cou7t.e, are a source of considerable annoyance and delay. At Lisbon they go through the ceremony of cutting through every letter, and then fumigate them at the ILalth-office. It is reported, and we believe truly, that the cholera is very bad at Lisbon, causing, to a uirtain extent, stag nation to business. On the outward passsge of the Madrid, her passengers were detained seven days at the Lazaretto, the Government finding beds and linen. The Braganza hotel had an establishment fitted up by order of the Government, at which the charges were extremely moderate. COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE. The Elisir d' Amore was produced here last evening, with Mr. Travers as Nemorino, for the first time. Mr. Travels sang the music with exquisite taste, and was much applauded. His roman's I in the last act was a perfect gem. The duet with Dulcamara too was excel lently given. Miss Romer reappeared in her favourite character of Adina (her•first appearance since her late severe illness), and Mr. H. Corri made a rough but not an ineffieient Dulcamara. He was encored in the barcarole. The choruses were excellently given, and the mise en scene everything that could be desired. The house was well attended. EXETER HALL. Handel's Messiah was given here last evening by the Sacred Harmonic Society for the first time this season. The programme contained the following notice:—" For the accommodation of persons who may be desrrous of leaving the hall before the conclusion of the oratorio, a pause of five minutes' duration will be observed, aft , r the Hallelujah Chorus,' which ends the Second Part; and it is earnestly requested that those who wish to retire will take that opportunity of doing so, and allow the large portion of the audience who desire to remain, the oppor tunity of witnessing the performance of the magnificent termination of tho work free from interruption. In con eideration of the sacred nature of the oratorio, the audience is earnestly requested to allow the per formance to proceed without interruption from applause or encores." The consequence of these arrangements was, that tho Messiah was better performed as a whole than it ever has been in our re collection. It would be well that the system of encores should be entirely abolished. An encore destroys the unity of the composition, and an oratorio or an opera should be as much an unity as an epic poem or a tragedy. None but persons who are entirely ignorant of music as a science would think of encoring anything. The pause at the conclusion of the second part, in order to allow persona to leave, is also an admirable regulation. It enabled those who loved music to listen to the oratorio to its conclusion without being interrupted with that perpetual shulling of feet, which has hitherto too fre quently prevented the just appreciation of the concluding portions of this sublime composition, Mr. Costa con ducted, and conducted admirably. The principal vo calists were Miss Birch, Miss Dolby, and Messrs. Sims Reeves and H. Phillips. It was the first appearance of Mr. Reeves in this oratorio, and the impression he produced was highly favourable. He sang all the songs with fervour and simplicity, reverently adhering to the text. He most of all shone in the recitative, " Comfort ye my people," and the air that - follows, " Every valley," in which his style and execu tion'werelequally irreproachable. Miss Birch exhibited her usual talent in the soprano songs, and Miss Dolby's " He was despised," was, as usual, pathetic and impres sive. Mr. 11. Phillips, in " The people that walked in darkness," and " Beh o ld I tell you," maintained his po sition as the first of English bassos. In the latter the trumpet obligato was cleverly played by Mr. T. Harper. The choruses were executed with remarkable precision, vigour, and attention to light and shade. The popular " For unto us a child is born," was given, perhaps for the first time, with proper expression; the theme was deli vered pianissimo, and a gradual crescendo was made up to the grand burst of the whole choral and instrumental forces, which produced a very striking eff ct. The "Hallelujah" was splendidly executed, and the elaborate fugued choruses were all sung with point and correct ness. The hall was crowded to suffocation. On the first of November, the Great Western Railway Company discontinued issuing return tickets. A fortnight back we augured the result of the step. The return of the revenue for the week ending Nov. 12, as compared with that of the preceding week, shows a falling-off of 537/. 14s. 10d. Did we not say as much? Before the plan which was to bring the company's ship home has been in operation a fortnight, a rather serious decrease for so short a period takes place in the receipts. For this the public were inconvenienced and tricked. How such a ridiculous step could be taken by a set of men, who, of all the world, ought to possess a littl e b us iness acumen, is really amazing.—Ke e ne's. Bath Journal. D - ¶CTION L. ESTRUS OF ARKS BY THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH WIRE.— One frosty morning last week, the plate layers upon the Whitchaven Junction Railway found no less than seventy larks lying dead beneath the telegraph wires between Workington and Marvport. The same day Mr. Forster, inspector of the line, found seventeen larks between Harrington and Workington. The heads of many of the birds were cut off, and their bodies otherwise mangled. Sea birds and different kinds of game have also occasionally been found dead—having probably come in contact with the invisible wires at night when in full flight.—Carlisle Journal. SHIELDS, THURSDAT.—Wind S.W. ; more settled weather.—The Norfolk, Robertson, arrived here, reports that the Jane and Ann schooner, of and from hence to Lowestoffe, coal laden, when riding below Winterton on Monday morning, at about fifteen minutes past five, was run down by a light brig, bound northward. The Jane :moreving beenin and Ann also immediately found e red. Her crew con sisted of three persons, two o f which wer e d r owned; the master, when his ship went down , seized hold of a piece of the mast, by which he h u n g until rescued by the humanity of Capt. Robertson and his crew, who, on the cook perceiving something in tho water , gave the alarm, and he was taken from his p erilous situation at the mo ment his strength was rapidly failing; a re ments, and all would have been over with hive; as soon as taken on beard tha Nor f o l k , h e fainted , some time in the water. A reward is very properly offered by the underwriters of the schooner, to detect, if possible, the name of the brig which was the ca use o f h er foundering. and burying two of her crew in a premature grave. She was repeatedly hailed by the master of the Jane and Ann, but though distintly in hearing, the brig's crew brutally . proceeded, leaving th em to perish. —Newcastle Chron i cle.

FAILURE IN BIRMINGIIAAL—FRIDAY EVENING.— The failure of Messrs. Lord, merchants, of this town, was publicly announced yesterday ; and to-day a meeting of creditors, attended by Messrs. Motteram and Knight, solicitors, was held at the offices of the firm, near Friday Bridge. Their debts and liabilitie, of one kind or an other, are said to amount to about 42,0001. The house was considerably engaged in the continental trade; and their losses are in the main attributed to speculations in Danish railways, and the wreck of a vess( I heavily laden, which they had failed to insure. A commitice of cre • ditors was appointed to investigate the affairs of the concern. The fosses will fall &lir fly upon liirmingl - ,arn manufacturers. The m-eting of e; e as aij turned until this day wLek. The best fee;i ig was display ed to wards Mr. Lord. MONEY and COMME RCI AL NEWS. CITY, QUAR:PER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpo A this week has bran very buoyant, though the actues:l advance in prices has not been above l id. per lb. Yest erday 8,000 bales were sold.—Railway shares were rather heavy again. The increase in the public de .posits at the Bank of England during the week to tb e 18th inst., was again important, and the amount now st ands well, and shows a steady collection of the revenue. It is to be noted like wise that the private deposits wet . e diminished, and pro bably for payment of duties ant 1 employment in trade. The largely-increased amount of Government lodgments will account for the reduction in the note circulation, without the assumption that tht s discount business has fallen off, for the decrease in o they securities is very trifling. Compared with the pr. Jvious week, the return gives the following result; — Notes issued 27,198,835 Increase 237,630 Rest Increase Public Deposits 5,149,495 Increase Other Deposits Decrease Seven Day and other Bills 1,036,211 Decrease Government Securities No alteration Other Securities Increase Notes 9,355,690 Increase Bullion • Increase Active circulation Deereaie There are accounts of July 1 from Sydney, which give a tolerably favourable report of the mercantile markets. Freight to Great Britain was at led, per lb. for Wool, and exchange at 2i per cent. premium, for Bank drafts at thirty days. The Antwerp mail brings us the Thursday'm prices of the Dutch funds higher from Amsterdam, the Two- and a half per Cents. having been 474. There has been no gold exported from London this week, and of silver the quantity shipped is 141,000 oz. to Holland. The English Stock Market is extremely quiet.

'the tone of the market is firm as the French Funds come higher, and the Bank return is satisfactory. It is even said that the Chancellor of the Exchequer has sold ono million of stock, and will re quire no more, the revenue being so good. We cannot vouch for the accuracy of this assertion, but certainly we anticipate a good financial report for tho current quarter. The eoreign Securities are very steady.
