Every energy is being strained by the Protec tif)nimt, to construct a Cabinor, regard which we cannot .in any other light than that of being a merely Provisional GoveromEnt. A catalogue of the proe&ied menibers of his Administration was Sept- 16— a fternoon, it will 6 , observed, su b m i t t e d to - . r her MAJESTY by the Earl Of D, Ru, and nothing, after even a cursory gl ir ance, at the list, can be more improbable than the stability of any Mi nisterial group SO 1 n congruous in character, so hastily collected together, atd so strangely inexperienced in some of the most important among the various, departments in , Downi ng - street. Al though eigh t years older than his immediate prede cessor, the Earl of MALmEssuar can scarcely be re garded as very w e ll qua lified to act 43 F ore i gn Se- THE S UN, cretary, at all times, but more especially at the pre sent juncture, one of the most difficult offices of the Government. The ability displayed by him In editing the " Diaries and Correspondence" of his grandfather, the celebrated diplomatist, can hardly be accepted as sufficient testimony that he of all men in the United Kingdom is the most admirably fitted to succeed the post long occupied by a statesman no less eminent than Lord PALMERSTON. During the brief time that Lord MALMESBURY i 3 likely to preside over the Foreign-office, it is nevertheless to be hoped that the principle implied in the Noble Earl smotto will not be forgotten— übique patriam reminzact—everywhere to remember his country. While still in the flower of his age, we can expect from Lord JOHN MANNERS not very much of those business habits which are almost indispensable in the conduct of the Woods and Forests, habits which were so admirably com bined with scholarship and philanthropy, in the mind and heart of the Earl of CARLISLE. We can imagine, moreover,.that Sir Jonzt PAILINGTON would continue to make a very excellent county magistrate, but that his capacities are adequate for the responsi bilities devolving upon a Colonial Secretary, we cannot for an instant anticipate. Among those who hare really acquainted them selves with the toils of administration, and whose names are inscribed on the programme of the new Protectionist Government—the Earl of LoNSDALE, it must be admitted, stands forth as not the least con spicuous. Having acted already successively as Lord of the Admiralty, and of the Treasury, as Chief Commissioner of Woods and Forests, as Treasurer of the Navy, as Vice-President of the Board of Trade, and as Postmaster-General, he may be regarded, per• haps, as having qualified himself in some mea sure to fulfil the duties of President of the Council, the post to which he has just been appointed. _Va gistratus indicat virum are the words inscribed upon his shield, and so may his present office during the short interval of his continuance in it, reveal his ability as an administrator I With the nomination of the Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND to the head of the Board of Admiralty the people generally, we feel assured, will be tolerably well satisfied—his Grace being somewhat better suited to the post than Sir FRANCIS BARING, having from his early youth been associated with the Royal Navy of England. Scarcely as well adapted to the office of Post-master General, the Earl of HARDWICRE will nevertheless we feel persuaded reflect no discredit upon that department of the public service, as the successor of the Marquis of CLANRICARDE. Instead of the Earl of ELLEN BOROUGH, the Right Hon. Gentleman the representa tive of Stamford has been elevated to the post of Pre sident of the Board of Control ; so that however much we may feel disposed to regret the change here in dicated, we have reason to rejoice that a man no less experienced than Mr. HERRIES has been selected for that important office, at a time when the renewal of the East India Charter must so very speedily be brought under the consideration of the Government and the Legislature. It can hardly be matter of sur prise that the dignity of Lord Privy Seal has been declined by Lord LYNDHURST, bearing in mind the broken health of the Noble and learned ex-Chancellor. Who will be nominated in his place to the vacant post it would seem yet re mains to be decided. As we intimated yesterday, Sir EDWARD SUGDEN, after being raised to the peerage, will be elevated to the woolsack, a promotion which, under all circumstances, can create as little regret as amazement, when the profound and astute genius of the ex-Chancellor of Ireland is borne in recollection. Perhaps the most astounding and unaccountable ap pointment of all is that of Mr. WALPOLE as Secretary of State for the Home Department. His antecedents are so very few and so very questionable as to render us naturally dismayed at the fact of so singularly important a position being abruptly intrusted to one who has never yet re vealed any aptitude whatever as a statesman. Another, and of all, maybe, the most noticeable is the nomi nation of Mr. DISRAELI, as Leader in the House of Commons, and Chancellor of the Exchequer. The position is one which has, at least, been nobly earned by the Hon. Gentleman (soon to be the Right Hon. Gentleman) the Member for the county of Bucking ham. His consummate ability as a debater remains no longer to be demonstrated, having been evidenced beyond all misapprehension during the course of many very memorable sessions of the Im perial Parliament. It now remains to be seen whe ther Mr. DISRAELI possesses, in addition to this, any kindred capacity as a financier, and cause for hope in this matter remains to the nation in the fact of the indisputable genius revealed by him in almost all the various departments of intellectual labour upon which his ambition has ever adventured. Such are ;the most remarkable among the constituent portions of the Protectionist Cabinet, that Cabinet which—we repeat it—is little better than a Provisional Govern ment. The Society for Promoting the Amendment of the Law is steadily pursuing its useful labours. Every question of importance or interest in any degree re lating to legal reform, is closely investigated, and the learning, experience, industry, and talent of the members brought to bear on the topic under dis cussion. The facts of the case are clearly and dis tinctly set forth, "so that he who runs may read;" the grievances and abuses that have sprung up during successive ages are indicated and explained in a manner intelligible to the meanest capacity, and valuable suggestions offered for their abatement. Such an association, numbering among its members many gentlemen of the highest professional attain ments, and presided over by Lord BROUGHAM, the " most distinguished" (we use the term advisedly) legal reformer of modern times, must necessarily achieve many beneficial results, and those gentlemen who devote their time and labour, on which there are so many demands, to the public advantage have en titled themselves to the marked thanks and gratitude of the community. The subject under discussion last night, and on which an elaborate report was presented, referred to the existing relations between the bar, the attorneys and the clients. The rights and privileges of the former influential classes must of course be taken into consideration. Men who have been taxed so highly as they have been, who have contributed so largely to the national revenue, and induced to apply their talents and industry to acquiring the knowledge indispensable to the pursuit of their respective pro fessions., cannot be summarily discarded or thrown Overboard. But the issue must be decided on other and even higher grounds, than the professional and personal inter4.A of either barristers or solici tors. The welfare of the community, the interests of so ciety, must chiefly be regarded. Any p r ivilege it,c ons i stent with the advantage of " the many" in any degree opposed to public pol;c cannot be permitt e d to stand.' y Every descripti on of most the nostrils monopoly is now held in ab horrence, and ,tick, in Certain restrictions of the people. possession of the necessary , however, occasionally be interposed to insure the seeking practice in certain to those e invo w lv h e o the were most dgeupaalirfitienaetniqnsl'inbYwrirschcinthse ignorance or incompetence of the praciitirnier mi g h t • nmcseelves under ain ducederi n--er his care withoutcpolancieeqtuhee any opportunity of testin g hi s ous to previousabilities, Apo thecaries, surgeons' physicians, must go throu h prescribed course, and submit to certain exam g in a a tions, with a view of testing their capacity, before being allowed to make experiments on the health and con stitutions of their fellow-citizens. Those to w h ose hands the protection of liberty and property are confided should give similar proofs of their fitness ; and inasmuch as it would be exceedingly impolitic to enable any man, who chose to call himself , 4 a doctor," to act in that capacity, so it would be very injudicious to allow persons, merely because they possess sufficient effrontery to appear in public and argue points, on the law relating to which they are utterly ignorant, to sacrifice the interests, and perhaps ruin the prospects; of those who are so foolish as to become clients. It is therefore for the public advantage that there should be re strictions, and perhaps the two branches of i the legal profession, the division of barristers 1 and attorneys, are as good as any that could be devised. We must, however, take care that neither I class should be permitted to carry their peculiar pri- 1 vileges to a point that must become prejudicial to society. The Special Committee of the Society have put i LONDON, forward seven distinct resolutions on these points, all of which are deserving of mature and serious consi deration. We do not say that we ourselves render a full and unequivocal assent to all these propositions ; but looking to the quarter from whence they have emanated, they are at least entitled to respectful at tention. The first resolution declares " That any practice which has a tendency to prevent the public from obtaining the assistance of counsel except through the compulsory intervention of an at torney should be discontinued." Now this assertion appears to be too general ; it must, in our minds, be taken with certain quali fications. We have no doubt that the division of labour is in many instances exceedingly beneficial ; that the interests of the client are better taken care of by there being different parties engaged on his behalf, one of whom prepares the " facts," while the other gets up the law applicable to these " facts," and acts as the advocate in court. He receives his instructions from the solicitor ; he can, therefore, act more boldly and with less personal responsibility than if he had communicated directly with the party. In every case, then, where there must be an appearance be fore a public tribunal, we think it desirable that there should be an intervening party ; that barristers should only appear when instructed by attorneys. But if the rule be once relaxed, it must be altogether got rid of. There must be a full and perfect reciprocity, and if there are to be attorney-advocates in the County Courts or elsewhere, there must be barrister-attorneys in like manner. It is well known that attorneys have in certain localities entered into combinations to ex clude barristers from any share of the practice. If the one go far beyond their sphere of duties, the other cannot be stringently confined within their own limits. In all matters relating to the giving of opi nions, preparing wills, and other matters of a similar character, where advice only is sought, the barrister should be as accessible to the client as the attorney, and any etiquette to the contrary should be at once abolished. The same arguments are applicable to the second resolution :—"That so much of the 91st section of the Act of 9 and 10 Vic., c. 95, as prevents a barrister from advocating the causes of suitors in the County Courts, unless instructed by an attorney,' should be repealed." It cannot be defended on any prin ciple of justice or expediency that the barrister should be the only party under a disability, that he alone should be excluded from practice un less instructed by an attorney. The third and fourth resolutions follow the same rule. It is suggested-3, that attorneys should not be permitted to act as advocates in the superior courts ; and, 4, that attorneys should be eligible to be called to the bar without any intermediate Cessation from practice. On the first of these points the question of reciprocity arises. If the attorney may see the client, get up the facts, and argue the case, why should not the barrister ? If it be allowed to the one to perform all the functions the other should in like manner be eligible. Then comes a most important recommendation— " That counsel should be made responsible to their clients for crassa negligentia, breach of contract, and breach of confidence." Here, also, are two sides of the case. If the barrister is, as he unquestion ably ought to be, responsible for any dereliction of duty, arising from absence, incompetence, or carelessness, let him by all means be made liable for the consequences of his default, but let him also be entitled to recover a fair remuneration for his services. At present we can make no legal demand. It would be a mere nudum pactum to impose any responsibility without a corresponding consideration. In every transaction there should be fair equivalents on either side. The 6th and 7th resolutions refer to the qualifica tions of the bar. They relate to points that have long been mooted, and the propriety, we might almost say the necessity, whereof have long been recognised. They are :—" 6. That a legal university, composed of the inns of court, and governed by an elected senate, should be established, and that such senate should have jurisdiction in all questions con cerning the discipline and conduct of the bar. 7. That all candidates for admission to the degree of barrister should pass a public examination." There should be the one recognised head taken from the different bodies now entitled to bestow degrees. Each may pursue their own plans of education, and enforce their own discipline, but the degree of barrister should come from the general body—the legal university—and never be granted until the applicant had shown his fitness and qualifications for the distinction which may place the lives, liber ties, and fortunes of his fellow-men at his disposal. These s uggestions are indeed o f v it a l i m portance, and w e trust that they will re ce i ve th e a tt en ti v e consi deration which they so eminently merit. THE NEW MINISTRY.

The police have seized from 16,000 to 20,000 copies of an address to the electors of the Seine by M. Cxoc SPINELLI, on the ground that having been sentenced to expulsion, he is not a qualified candi date. M. BOCUER will be tried by the ordinary tribunal on a charge of distributing seditious papers, these papers consisting of the letter of the testamen tary executors of Louis PHILIPPB to the Prince PRESIDENT, with letters of members of the ex-Royal Family, relative to the confiscation decrees. The three persons arrested with M. BOCHER are charged with abetting the circulation of those so-called seditious writings. The Presse states that active negotiations are going on between Frohsdorf and Claremont, with the view of induoing the Duchess of ORLEANS to consent to the Count DE PARIS waiving his right in favour of the . Duc DE BORDEAex. Count DE MolvrnoLoN has just presented a claim to the Council of State for his arrears of pay as a General since 1815. M. VILLRMAIN has been charged to report on the affair.

It is not known whether it is this demand alone, or whether other indications may have had their influence ; but it is certain that the Government begins to entertain serious thoughts of inimical feelings on the part of France, and is pre paring for them. The greatest energy is manifested not only in the levying of this year's recruits, but in the exercising of all our military forces. The fortress of Mons, and all oar other strongholds are being repaired and put in a state of defence ; besides which the Govern ment intend to demand of the Chamber an extraor dinary credit of 6,000,000 f. for erecting an entrenched camp at Antwerp. That attention should be now called to this fortress, which played an important part in our last revolution, is caused by the fact that, in is l oo;a or, and th it is ned, the event of a French invasio n , the assistance of Eng landkeep k up a f connexion at d with the etermi harbour It is true that the Cologne Zeitung at tf aAn ny e s t p wc e oe c sr i t p a , I . states that the French PRESIDENT has expressed much friendship for Belgium, but facts are stubborn things.

ITALY. The Constitutionnel has the following from Rome : " Our letters from Rome state that at the consistory fixed for the 15 th of March, the cardinals to b e named are Monsigneur Donnet, Aychbi6, * op of Bordeaux; Monsigneur Lucciardi, Archbi s h op o f Si n i ga glia; Mon signeur d'Audree , latel y res iding at Peruggia i n q uality Minister of Fi nanc e. The commission named to ofin indicate e toli m ca e l delegate;ansoi and restoring Monseigneur Morichini , for merlyan equilibrium in t he budget has approved o f a ministerial measure , which consists in slightly augmenting the land-tax, alre ad y very considerable, in re•establishing the ancient dut y on salt, and in imposing a new duty of from one to two baioques a pound on coffee and sugar. There were no other means to restore the mischief done by the temporary rule of the Mazzini party. Tho agents of the Anglo-French company . fur the construction of certain ra il ways i n the Pontifical States, have arrived at Rome, and deposited 200,000 crowns (above a million of francs) as caution money. This company is not that rep resen ted by M. de Mon ciar, with which, it i . s sa id, it was disposed to come to an understanding. If the G overnment accepted their propositions they would at once set to work. There was some rumour of lighting the principal quarters of Rome with gas, b . y the comp any f orme d i n 1847, and who had then paid iu a sum of 10,000 crowns as cautio n mone y . A commission of Christian Archre3logy has been named by the P ope, and one o f i ts fi rst d ec isions has been that the public aro to be admitted to see the Catacombs on Sundays and fete d a y s, i n groups o f e ight persona only. Permissions will be granted on application to the proper quarter, and guides will be provided. The Republicans a ttempted to celebr a t e on the 9t h the anniversary of the installation of their wretched system, and some boys who were firing the ' little cannon used on days of rejoicing were arrested." The resignation of the Ministry has deprived the Exchequer-bill reduction question of its importance, but, after having pointed out that Sir Charles Wood erroneously contradicted the estimate of the lose which his policy would inflict upon the public, it may be well to correct also another mistake upon which he grounded his defence. Sir Charles is reported to have s a id th a t " the present was the lowest rate at which Exchequer -bills had run, and that they had never been below 1 1 / 2 d." This, however, is wrong. In 1720 the rate was precisely the same as that to which it was now urged it might be reduced—namely, a penny a day, and bills of that description were in circulation among the public. —Timis. Lord and Lady Colborne have arrived in Hill street, from West Ilarling Ilall, Norfolk, for the season. Mr. Under-Sheriff Millard and Mr. Under-Sheriff lloopwood waited on Sir G.

LORD CLERMONT.-REJOICINGS AT FLURRY- SitUDGE.—The following is an extract from a letter, dated Tuesday night :—" Our hills were all in a blaze to-night. The villages Ravensdale, Flurrybri d g e, and Jonesho rough,L ig with the houses o f the neighbourhood , were all illu minated. Each person s e emed to vie with his neighbour in his efforts to render respect to the worthy ord of the soil on his elevation to the title of Clermont. Along the shore by Jenkinstown to Carlingferd looked w ell—the mountains, to their highest tops, were lighted with bonfires ; and, dark though the night is, the vallies are still illuminated therefrom ; and the cheers of the people were loud and long. Lord and Lady Cleimont s upplied the labourers and tradespeople cf Ravensdale-park with good beef, bread, and ale."

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The following is from Messrs. Schrader and Mummy's Circalar, dated New Orleans, January 31:— " Cotton—Our last Circular was dated 10th instant, and reported middling at 7ic. per lb.—prices continued firm, in some instances higher and without any sensible variation until the 26th inst., when we received the news from Liverpool of the 10th inst, announcing an unsatis factory state of political relations between France and Englaud, its immediate effect was a stagnation of busi ness for a day or two. The sales were limited and at irregular prices, showing a decline however of /ie. per lb. upon the lower grades—further details of the ac counts coming to hand by the wires and modifying the first impression produced, business was again resumed, and prices gradually stiffening have now nearly reached the Lite highest point—even running lots of middling being worth 7ic. per lb. The sales during the last three weeks have been quite large. amounting to 137,500 bales against receipts of 117,823 bales in the same thee. The stock for sale continues moderate, despite the opening of some important tributaries—the quality is still unsatisfactory, the better descriptions being scarce. The general expectation is that the next steamer must bring aceounts of a more tranquillising and settled character; in this event we think our prices for Cotton will be fully maintained under the universal de• mud which prevails at present. We quote ordinary to good ordinary at 6-1 to 61-; low middling, 7 to 7 1 1; middling, 7i; good middling, 7i to 8; middling fair, 8- 1 to 81; fair, 81 to Bi. Sales daring the three weeks 4 137,500 bales. Receipts at this port, 693,509 bales-- against 561,678 bales last year. Increase of receipts at all ports, 84,980 bales. Increase of total exports to Great Britain, 54,158 bales. Decrease of total ex p orts to France 10417 bales, and to other foreign ports 15,718, against last year." The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were es timated at from 6,000 to 7,000 bales, of which 500 Surat were takenon speculation. The sales include 400 Pernam and Maranham at sid. to 64d., 200 Egyptian at sd. to 9d., 1,500 Surat at 20. to 4d., 40 Sea Island at Is. 2d. to ls. 6,0., and the remaind s e h r a A re m s e w r e ic r a e n. firm Th a e t market closed steadily. —Railway rather higher rates. In referring to the condition of the dried fruit trade, Messrs. Witherby and Hanson remark that the clear ances of currants have greatly fallen off, and then pro ceeds to state that— " It is difficult to account for this sudden decrease in our deliveries for consumption. A similar falling off, in the early part of 1850, arose from foreign speculative purchases having:driven prices 3s. per cwt. above those of Liverpool. It must be borne in mind, however, that the clearances in November and December last reached nearly 4,000 tons, which far exceeded those of any f ormer year, and that the trade generally may be over cautious this season in consequence of the gradual decline in price at this market during the whole of last season. Advices from Patras represent the disastrous results of the 1850 crop and the unremunerative prices of the present season as causing great distress amongst the growers of cur rants, and leave room to expect that the production may be seriously checked this year. So great is the scarcity of money in the Morea, and the want of confidence on the part of merchants, that the growers have, in many extensive localities, been precluded from obtaining those advances which are absolutely requisite for the mere cultivation of the vines. It is much to be desired that the present adverse state of things may effectually check the production of the ' Pirgos,' and other low growths, which have of late years ao much infested this market." The American advices are favourable, and as the ex change keeps up, we may expect continued imports of specie. The New York Herald, alluding to the Quartz Mining :Companies, states —A great many quartz mining companies have recently been formed in this city, in London, and in San Francisco; but it is impos sible to tell, at this . early day, how many will actually go into operation. All it wants is capital, and the English companies are, therefore, likely to be more successful than those formed in this country. Attempts have lately been made to get up two or three new companies here, but it is our impression that they have not progressed very , rapidly. In one instance dividends have been de clared, and we believe the whole capital stock has been paid back to the original holders, out of the prospective earnings of the company. Many of these quartz mining stock companies are destined to be great bubbles, and the uninitiated are in a fair way of being pretty well fleeced. The Mexican Government has quite worsted the revo lutionists. Csravajal and his followers are said to be in a very destitute condition, and there is no probability that they will again attempt to revolutionise Northern Mexico. At last accounts, the revolutionists were encamped on the borders of Texas, and General Harney had sent a detachment of United States troops to arrest the whole squad. The recently attempted revolution in Chili, by General Cruz, a disappointed candidate in the last Pre sidential election, was suppressed on the Bth of December last, in a battle at Longomilla, in which Cruz was de feated by General Bulres. The republic was quiet on the 26:b of that month, and Montt, the President, re mained undisturbed in his office. The Bank of England has positively declined to par chew any gold not of standard fineness; sellers, there fore, met not only melt but refine their metal. The English Stock Market has been very dull, but prices continue steady. Consols have been 97 to for Transfer, and are now 971, sellers. The foreign news is not of interest, but the further large amount of specie from America should rather be in favour of Stock prices.
