THE MINISTRY.--InNuARY 22, 1528. When, by a great national calamity the country was deprived of that Nobleman's ser vices, Mr. CANNING and Mr. HUSKISSON did uot separate from their other colleagues in the Administration. On the contrary, they would willingly and cordially have acted with them.— But these gentlemen thought proper to throm up their places, and Mr. CANNING and Mr. Hus- KISSON were left alone to assist his MAJESTY in the re-construction of a Government. We believe that Mr. HUSKISSON has declared him self to belong to no party ; but to be willing to join any set of men who have the true interests of their country at heart. But if the fact were otherwise, he might naturally enough be expected ' to indulge predilections for the . friends with whom he has been connected during the greater portion of his political life. Mr. PEEL has now returned to office. It was his own fault that he ever quitted it. He declined to serve in Mr. CANNING's Admini- stration, but he did not oppose it ; por do we believe that he would have opposed that of Lord GODERICH. What, therefore, we ask, can be more reasonable and consistent than his wish to be assisted by the first Statesman in the country, in whose opinions and principles on every political question, except one, he entiroly concurs? At the same time it must be owned that Mr. PEEL'S conduct is not free from blame. His present eagerness for Mr. HUSK EssoN's co• operation discovers his prudence, and something more. It chews how very slender were his grounds for dividing with Mr. CANNING. Had lie remained in office with that lamented States- man, the KING would have been saved frolin much distraction, and the country would have been largely benefited. The Duke of WE L L INGTON would have supported Administra tion ; and the Corn Bill would have been carried. FOREIGN 'INTELLIGENCE. FRENCH PAPERS. (From the Constitutionnel of Saturday, Jan. 19.) SPANISH NEWS. PERPIGNAN,Duc. 27.--The :refugee agraviados, who bad been sent to Albi and Avigeon, are leaving the places which had been assigned them by the French Government, and are daily seen in band traversing the department on their return to Spain. Buzoms himself (Jeps del . Estangs), who had re ceived a ve r y h osp i ta bl e recept i on ' h e r e , a f ter having accepted a gratuity from Goveniment of 600 francs in order to enable him to repair to Pans, has taken a contr ar y route; and on that day fi xe d f or hi s depar- ' tete, instead of following the road to l‘ai bonne, he - has directed his journey towards French Cerdague, and from thence, passing by, Osseja, lie has rejoined his old companions in the steep mountains of Bor rada, about a leage from Berga, from whence he issue.; his orders to all his followers scattered among the mountains. General Monet, on his part, is using the greatest activity in extirpating from Upper Catalonia all the seeds of revolt and sedition. One of his moveable columns encountered on the Bth inst., between Polls- Fourgells and Val d'Aro, a party of the disaffected, of which it took 29 prisoners, amongst whom was a monk. A part of them were sent to Gerona, and the rest embarked for Barcelona. The presence of the Count d'Espagne, the terror of his name, and the numerous troops which are dis tributed id the principality, and chiefly in Upper Catalonia, are sufficient to keep down the restless and turbulent spirits in that part of the province; but it is to be feared that this factitious repose may soon be disturbed, and that a revolt, promoted by secret agents, may again destroy the tranquillity of this pat t of the peninsula. The late elections, which have given new life to France, have cast dismay into the Cabinet of Ferdinand. Calomarde sees nothing in the newly-elected members but violent Repub licans, enemies of the Throne and the Altar; and we are assured that the chief of the Apostolicals has said, that if the French Ministry should be changed, the King would not delay his departure from Bar celona, which would necessarily bring about the in surrection and revolt of the whole province. Barce lona, when relieved from the French troops, would offer to the a z graviados a rallying point, which might embroil all Spain. It is to be hoped, that if fresh troubles should break out in our neighbour.. hood, the new Ministry will not be the dupes of the Apostolicals, and that France will act as a great na tion which knows its duty and its dignity; and that if she should again expend her treasures for the re storation of tranquillity in the peninsula, it will not be for the gratification of the Jesuits and the congre gations. • (From the illonileur of Saturday, ltd. 19.) BERNE, JAN. B.—The Russian Government, con sidering the part which several forei gn stu d ents h ave taken in various revo l u ti o nary intrigues, has just re commended its Ambassadors in foreign countries, and consequently i ts L egat i o n in Switze r l an d, to use the greatest precaution in delivering p assports, especially to tutors and to servants, who intend to go to Poland and Russia. Their conduct and their capacity must be perfectly well known to the Am_ b Those who intend assadors.to seek employmentas tutors in private families, will a l so h a ve to Un dergo a particular examination in the North. (From the Gazelle de Frame, dated Sunday, Jan. ‘2o.) s ODEssA, Dec. 18.—The north wind still hinders u, from receivin g any news direct from Constanti nople, but we every day see vessels leave , our port laden with gram and flour for the supply of the ca pital of Turkey, Ivhieh appears surprising, since a rupture between our G overnmen t and Turkey i s considered as probable. A company of French, Sardinian, and Austrian merchants, %vlio are some times at Constantinople and sometimes here, has contracted with the Turkish Government for' the supply of the capital. The ships employed tier this service are almost all Sardinians. The cold weather has rendered our intercourse with St. Petersburgh very rapid, and all the ac counts which we receive from that city announce war as inevitable, and speak of the journey of the Emperor to the army, who, perhaps, may go further than is supposed. But we h ave b een so ofte n de ceived in our conjectures for some years past, that (FRO3I A CORRESPONDENT.) We earnestly hope that the Ministry is at last at'asted on a solid and permanent basis— and on this assumption we shall offer a few re mrks on the events of the last ten months ;—a period unprecedentedly fertile in political fluctua tion. In that brief interval, the extinction of three consecutive Administrations has been wit nessed by the public. Two Governments have fallen by the death of their respective leaders ; and a third has perished by the weakness or the treachery of some of its own members. Charges so frequent and so recent, are apt to create an apparent, if - not a real, • confusion in the relations of party ; and to this cause We must ascribe the insinuations whi c h are levelled against Mr. HusKlssoN for continuing in office with the New Administration. His situation is, in deed, widely different from that of the men who have again returned to place. They may be, perhaps, called on for explanation ; and we cannot doubt, that when the time arrives, they will be ready to answer the expectations of the country. But Mr. HUSKISSON has con filmed in the Councils of his SOVEREIGN al along, and there can be no reason to deter him now from joining those with whom he was for merly associated in Lord LIVERPOOL'S Cab. net. the cAlm observer will not easily be induced to found any presumption upon communications of this de- scription. The most considerable 'mercantile houses are ar ranging their affairs in sucka manner as to be pre pared against all events. PARIS, J4N. 19.—The Gazette of Florence gives the following news, after a letter from Corfu, dated the 13th of December : " The Arab troops, by the orders of Ibrahim, have entirely abandoned Tripolizza, and the whole terri tory. Ibrahim has returned from the camp of Modon to Navarin with his army. Gene►al Church, since his landing at Dragomestre, had undertaking nothing important, but was endeavouring to fortify himself in several positions. " The Turks who were at Prevesa, to the num ber of 1,000 men at most, had set, out on their march, but stopped on learning the superior force of the Greeks. Patras ;till holds out ; the garri son being diminished by the departure of the Arabs, is no longer in fear of wanting provisions. The Porte had summoned to Constantinople all the Al banian chiefs, in order to concert with them various measures adapted to the present state of things, but none had obeyed the summons for fear of losing his head, or being kept as a hostage. " The last accounts from the Archipelago state, that the fort of Scio still held out, but that the situation of the besieged became every day more critical, in consequence of the bombardment which the Greeks continued without interruption. Dur ing the month of November the garrison made three sallies. " A great quantity of mastich, which is gathered in abundance at Selo, has been sent to Syra and sold on account of the Greek Government, to de fray the expense of the expedition."

It is understood that to-day the new Mein hers of the Cabinet will be presented to his MAJESTY at Windsor, and that their appoint ments will appear in the Gazette of this evening. The Times of this morning has printed ai extract from the speech in which, during the last session of Parliament, the Duke of WEL- LINGTON disclaimed his pretensions to the pose of Premi6r. We were, no doubt, as mu& astonished at first as our cotemporary could possibly be, at his Grace's acceptance of the office ; hut we feel confident that ample explana- on will be afforded of the grounds on which ie arrangement has taken place. The com lands of his Sovereign or the necessity 01 ie case may surely have authorized a de. parture from the purpose laid down, in a speec of ;A . -humiliation. But we will candidly own that the moderation evinced by the Noble Duke, has materially altered our former impressions of his character, which, with all le splendour attached to it, seemed to con tain ingredients more fitted for subduing the enemies of our country, than for the no less difficult task of reconciling conflicting in- terests and terminating political feuds. We sincerely believe that the Duke is not the red-hot Orangeman for which we had erro neously set bins down ; and though we may not agree with his Grace on the question of Ca tholic Emancipation, we are unwilling to con found conscientious opinions with selfish, wilful, and profitable bigotry. In short, having been vastly depressed, a re action has taken place, and we are filled with hope that though divided on a subject where lonest men are unfortunately too much divided, —the new Administration %vill leave that question fairly to its fate in the minds of the people of England, and will pursue with unity of purpose on all other subjects the true inte rests of the empire, avoiding the opposite ex tremes of rash innovation, and bigotted devotion to the practice of former tunes. We understand that the Duke of WELLING TON last night issued cards of invitation to all the Members at present constituting the Cabinet, to dine with his Grace this evening at Apsley House, so that we may reckon this the first Cabinet Dinner of the New Administration. Our City Correspondent, says, it is certain that Parliament will meet for the despatch of busi- 'less on the 29th inst., and he adds, we have good authority for stating, that the only business which will be done on that day, will be the moving of new writs for the re-election of those Mem bers who have vacated their seats by the accept ance of office- His MAJESTY will send a m essag e to Parliament, stating that he will ad dress them on that day fortnight, by which tim e the returns will be made from Liverpool, Oxford, &c. It is confidently said that his MAJEST Y will then be enabled to announce to Parliament the treaty for the immediate evacua tion of Spain by the French, and the return of our troops from Portugal, together with the sions, &c. ; and this company has an evident in terest, if it expects to profit by the contract, in accelerating the commencement of hostilities by all the arts in its power. The first announce. went of war sounds always a peal of joy to con tractors,—but, thank Heaven, the destiny of Nations is not at their mercy. The discussions respecting the conduct of the new Ministry still continue,—the Opposition Journals amusing themselves with strictures upon their late appeal to the French nation. In another column will be found extracts from these Papers ; but we may here insert the two following paragraphs from the Constitution reel;—the first as spewing VILLELE's eagerness, when out of place, to possiss a Paper under hilt; own influence, though when in power he was the first to impose restrictions upon the liberty of the Press. Sad vicissitude ! The other article is equally creditable to the gratitude of those who once thronged the levees of VILLELE, but are now crowding those of his successor, and endeavouring to recommend their servility by ungenerous censures upon their fallen j idol. What a lesson for the New Minister of Finance ! The changes of the moon are not more varied, and scarcely less frequent than those of unprincipled politicians:— " We are assured that M. de Villele, who paid the Ga zette de France at the expellee of the . public Treasury, has just bought it with the produce of economy. It has been sold for, we understand, 500,000 f. The poor Gazette ! " There were yesterday more than 1200 persons in the salons of the new Minister of Finance. They presented a very strange appearance. Among them were the Duke de Choiseul, the Duke de Leroi, M. Casimir Perier, M. Barthe Labastide, M. Bertin Devaux, and M. CAstelbajac. The scene was very different in the time of the former Treasury. Under M. de Villele, the room was silent as the apartment of a vision : yesterday those present spoke loudly and clearly, and found fault with bitterness of the late Ministry; and among their warmest censures of it were the late Ministerial men." Dutch Papers of the 19th, liamburgh Papers of the 15th, and the Nuremburg Correspondent of the 14th inst., have been received this morn- ing, from which it appears that the frost in the North had been suddenly followed by a thaw, which was as suddenly succeeded by frost more severe than at first. In Russia, promo tion was the order of the day, both in, the army and navy. In Greece, I.BRAHINt PACHA was making every preparation for evacuating the country, in obedience to the commands of his father. The perverse conduct of the Turkish Government was charitably attributed to infatua- tion. The accounts from Hungary discounten ance the prospect of a war, however anxious and restless the Russians may appear on the Pruth AMSTERDAM, J Ali. 17. . _ After a rapid thaw had succeeded the short frost at the beginning of this year, we have had another change of weather within these few days, and the frost has set in again with such severity, that the Y before this city is blocked up by the ice. The severe east wind makes the cold more sensible than might be expected from the state of the thermometer, which has not yet been lower than 25° and 26° of Fahrenheit. HAGUE, JAN. 17. The Second Chamber of the States General 'net yester day, but there being only 38 members present no business could be done, and it adjourned till Thursday the 21st. The first work in which the Chamber will engage, is ex pected to be a project of Law for the Code procedure Civile. The Civil Code, with the alterations, is now printed and distributed among the members of the States General. Numerous changes have been made in it, the principal of which are in chapters 3,5, and 6. ST. FETERSBURGH, JAN. 2. The Journal of St. Peterstrurgh, after mentioning the departure of the three Ambassadors from Constantinople, adds—" The infatuation of the Porte is deplorable, but it can only confirm in the Powers who signed the Treaty of London, the resolution to fulfil, with unshaken disinterest edness, the salutary object for which they have united. JANUARY 5. The Papers contain numerous promotions in the Army and Navy, but no political news. (FROM A LETTER.) TRIESTE, JAN. 1. According to the latest accounts from Corfu, of the 20th of December, Ibrahim Pacha is making serious pre parations to return to Egypt, his father having called him home in consequence of the events at Navarin. ST. PETERSBURGH, JAN. 3. The Northern Bee contains some interesting letters from officers in the Russian army in Persia. In one of these letters is the following passage :—" Abbas illirza, notwithstanding the difficulty of his situation, preserves all his presence of mind, and combines the dignity of his rank with the greatr o t affability. Colonel Lasareff, com mandant of Tauris, has had frequent occasions to see Abbas who treats hint with great regard. One day the Prince, praising him for the maintenance of tranquillity among the inhabitants of Tauris, said, in an oriental style, —" A warrior who loves his horse, is rejoiced when it is well taken care ef." He added, "I am the more obliged to you for your attention to the inhabitants of Tiflis, because they are very dear to my heart. I have lived among them from my youth. IntESDEN, JAN. 6. A letter of Prince Ypsilanti, written from Vienna, states that the Emperor has allowed him to remain in that capital, in order to restore his health, impaired by seven years' imprisonment. His Aid-de-Camp, Capt. Orfano, who shared his captivity for six years, has resided since his liberation, in Dresden. PESTI( (IN HUNGARY), DLC. On g We are here in the most profound tranquillity, and hi therto there is not the smallest appearance of war. No body here thinks of it as probable. We do not perce i ve aniindications of changes in the position of the troops, and the Government has not yet bought up any corn. It is to be attributed entirely to the schemes of the corn-dealers, that while they are growing rich, a rise in th e i i rice o f grain, h as t a k en place. This state of things, however, cannot last long, and there is every reason to expect t h a t the p r i ces (Acorn will soon go back to their forme r l eve l. VIENNA, JAN. I o.—Metalliques, ; Bank Sh ares 1030. We have much pleasure in acknowledging the receipt of 10/. through the hands of Mr. MITCHELL, messenger, Board of Trade, from " T. T.," for the Widows and Orphans of those men who have lost their lives by the completion of the treaty for the emancipation of Greece. The Gazette de France dated Sunday, and the Paris Papers of Saturday, have been received, but their contents are not marked by articles either of interest or importance. At Odessa \var was considered inevitable ; but the opinion of towns located in the vicinity of the. probable scene of operations is not entitled to much cre dit, as their inhabitants are invariably the sport of every rumour which apprehensive imagina tions can frame. In the event of war, a com pany of French, Sardinian, and Austrian mer— chants, is to supply Constantinople with provi late irruption into the Thames Tunnel. We shall forward the money to Mr. BRUNEL, or pay it into the hands of any person appointed by hint, in order to its prompt distribution among the disconsolate sufferers. We trust this is only an earnest of that liberality which the sympathy of the public is always anxious to bestow on occasions of such a calamitou s nature. The donation of " I'. T." is at once honourable to his heart, and praiseworthy, as setting a good example to those who may be equally humane, but who want the stirring spirit which makes benevolence a virtue. Negative merit will neither benefit the world nor do ho nour to its possessor. Accounts have been received from Rio de Janeiro to the 15th Nov., being four days later than the last accounts, but they contain no news either political or commercial. A letter from Naples of the Ist inst. states, that Mr. STRATFORD CANNING had arrived at Malta from Constantinople. It appears that M. OTTENFELS is very active at Constantinople with the SULTAN and Divan, trying to bring about a peace.—Journal du Commerce of Saturday. The accounts from Senegal of the 6th Dec. speak of hostilities being committed by the Maures and the Walk Tribes ; the first have assassinated two whites, and burnt their houses ; the Government have not yet taken any decisive steps, they are anxiously expecting the new Go vernor, with fresh rehdorcetnents.—lbid.

Hitherto the business doing has been rather limited, but still the Consol market has been heavy, notwithstanding money stock has been scarce. The fears entertained that the settlement would not pass over without mischief have been verified, and two or three of the minor dealers have declared their incapacity to meet their engagements. This in one instance is extremely to be lamented, from the moral worth and integrity of the party. The rise in this account is full 41 per cent., and has been attended with a severe lesson to the Bear party.

Eorrou,--The lamentable accident which occurred yesterday morning at the Thames Tunnel, has suggested to me the importance of introducing, a few yards behind the Is orkmen, flood-gates, so constructed, that the lower parts of the gates will be first shut by the water issuing in at the place where the work is carried on, and when the waters rise nearly half way up, then to shut the middle parts of the gates, and when it rises near to the top, to shut .the top parts of the gates. This arrangement would afford all the workmen time who could reach so far as the flood-gates to get safe out, and prevent the tunnel from being filled with water. This plan would not only tend to obviate much of the danger to be apprehended by the workmen, but greatly diminish the enormous expence consequent from such an accident. The small space between the shield and the flood-gates would soon become filled with mud and sand, and the bed of the river might then be soon made good from above, as there would be no liability of the materials put down for that .purpose being loosened, and removed, by the perio dical ingress and egress of the water during the rise and fall of the tide. I have no doubt but that the best method of car rying this plan into effect will really suggest itself to the intelligent engineers connected with this great and arduous undertaking ; however, if you should consider the details of the scheme worthy of a place in your useful journal, I will readily furnish you with a drawing and description of it in a few days.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(TiIIs DAY, COURT OF.CHANCERY. MARRIAGE OF A WARD. VIDLER V. PARROTT. In this case, which was argued on Saturday last, before his Lordship in his private room, Mr. TURNER stated that it stood over till to-day, in order that the clergyman and clerk should be in attendance. The question as far as they were con cerned was whether proper care had been exercised with respect to the publication of the banns, it having appeared upon the statements formerly made that no account had been given of the residence of the parties. Mr. SUGDEN objected to the case proceeding until it was ascertained whether or not the clergy man appeared in person ; he had not been instructed that he did. His LORD3IIII' did not find any thing before bin that authorised him to say the clergyman vas actu, ated by improper motives, but his Lordship though it right he should see him.

KING, the senior tutor, proceeded to make his reply in this case. He went over again at great length all the statutes and documents relating to the regulations of not only Queen's College, but many others, and concluded a little before one o'clock. His LORDSHIP observed that the case had been argued on both sides most elaborately and most satisfactorily ; he desired to be furnished with all the documents, or copies of thorn, that had been referred to, and promised to deliver his opinion as early as he could. He intimated no impression of opinion either one way or the other. COURT OF KING'S BENCH. The cases disposed of this morning contained nothing of the slightest public interest. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. Nothing of interest occurred in this Court up to :he time of our going to press. THE MURDER IN MONTAGUE-PLACE Yesterday being the day appointed for the first public ex amination of the individual who stands charged with the murder of the late unfortunate Mrs. Jeffs, the Police-office, Bow-street, and the several avenues leading thereto, were crowded at an early hour. At eleven o'clock a hackney coach drove up to the ffice, and - the prisoner Wm. Jones, who was in the custody of Furzeman, the constable of St. Giles's, alighted, and was immediately delivered to Jones, the gaoler, by whom he was locked up, and in less than an hour afterwards he was brought into the justice-room, and placed at the bar, before Sir Richard Birnie and Mr. Halls, the witnesses being all present. The prisoner is a low-sized slight young man, thin featured, and pale. Mr. Butler appeared for the prisoner, and several gentlemen, amongst whom we observed Mr. Sheriff Stable, attended to hear the examination. The principal part of the evidence gone into was nearly the same as that taken when the Co roner's inquest sat upon the body, and whatever facts the next examination may disclose, it is but fair to observe, that at the termination of the evidence yesterday, no cir cumstance transpired to criminate the prisoner. It is said, however, that there are strong circumstantial proofs of hi guilt ready to be brought forward. William Salmon was one of the principal officers of Bow-street. On the evening of the lst of January he was sent for to No. 11, Montague-place, accompanied by Gar diner and Hawkins. Upon knocking at the door, it was opened by Bonnick. Witness went down stairs and saw the deceased lying on the floor with her throat cut. The blood was flowing from the wound to the fire-place. Wit ness examined the pocket of the deceased, which appeared to have been drawn through her pocket-hole, but found nothing in it. A chair stood at each side of the fire-place, as if two persons had been sitting upon them. A small piece of writing-paper that appeared to be part of a will lay upon the table. On the same night witness examined the back kitchen, and found most of the drawers open. On the Thursday after the inquest, while Mr. Plumb the surgeon was examining the deceased, a sovereign fell upon the floor from the pocket of the deceased. Mr. Samuel Plumb, surgeon—l was sent for Ligue-place, on the evening of the Ist of Januiry; to exa mine the body of a person said to have been murdered.—.. . Went and found in the front room below stairs a woman lying with her head towards her right side. There was a deep cut on the right side of the neck. She might have lived three or four minutes after the wound was inflicted. There were two or three round btuises, apparently the marks of knuckles, upon her left collar bone, and I should suppose they were made by the hand that held her down. It is very rarely that the gullet is cut through when the throat is cut, and the appearance altogether of the wound in the neck of the deceased induces rne to assert, that it must have been accomplished in a manner the most deter mined. The neckerchief of the deceased was thrust into the wound. There was the mark of a dirty shoe upon the handkerchief, and there was also a mark, which I believe to be that of a foot, upon the cheek of the deceased. Mr. HALLS inquired if there was an y appearance of t h e deceased having struggled. The witness replied that there was a strong expression of 'horror in her countenance. George Gardiner, aged 16, sworn.—l am servant to Mr. William Barrington, who keeps the - Gower Arms, corner of Gower-streek and Store-street. On the last day of the old' year I left a pint of beer with the old lady, Mrs. Jeffs, at No. 11, Montague-place, about nine o'clock on the night of the 31st of December. She was talking to a man with a blue coat and white apron. The man was inside the door, standing upon the mat in the ball. I went away leaving the man and Mrs. Jeffs together. The witness was asked if he could identify the man in the blue coat and white apron, bet he declared that he had no recollection whatever of the man's face.
