SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. THE MINISTERIAL ARRANGEMENTS. (From the Times of this day.) The process by which Lord Palmerston's Adminis tration has assumed it 4 present shape is so extremely , singular that we hardly know in what language to de scribe the means employed or the object attained. Viewed as a whole, the complicated political transac tions which commenced with Lord John Russell's ab rupt resignation of office in Lord Aberdeen's Cabinet on the 23d of January, and end with Lord John Russell's acceptance of a subordinate position in Lord Palmer ston's Cabinet on the 23d of February, are not calcu lated to raise the character of public men, or to command the confidence of the country. In substance, the effect of these changes has been to reject what former political combinations had absorbed, and to absorb what they had rejected—to destroy whatever had been done in the last two years towards the reconstruction of the Liberal pasty on a more enlarged basis, and to throw back the highest offices in the State into the exclusive circle of Brookes's. Lord John Russell himself, who is the harlequin of this pantomime, passes with astonishing alacrity through his postures and transformations — now up, now down, at one moment everything, at another nothing—until he ends in the grotesque com bination of a Minister Plenipotentiary at a Euro pean Congress and the Colonial Secretary at home. It is evident that to those who regard these questions with no eyes but those of party the end of these perturbations has been attained by the expulsion or withdrawal from the Ca binet of those elements which differed in some degree from the pure traditions and the personal connexiorls of the Whig families ; but we are not satisfied that the country and the House of Commons will be disposed to regard in so favourable a light the results of a change of Government which has still the air only of a successful intrigue. On general grounds, and as far as the practical improvement of the Govern ment is concerned, Lord Palmerston has thus far been fortunate, for circumstances have enabled him to over rule the pretensions of a rival, and to relieve the Go vernment from men whose reputation had suffered most severely from the mismangement of the war. Lord John Russell is harmless, and may even be useful upon his return to England, in the post of Colonial Secretary ; and, although no one will dispute the high abilities of the four ministers who have just retired, the universal unpopularity and suspicion which attached to their con duct and opiniens render their departure a matter of small regret. Mr. Gladstone and his friends appear not yet to have learnt the political truth that no party can exist for any useful purpose in this country, whatever may be the brilliant talents of its members, unless it rests upon one of the broad distinctions of opinion which pervade the nation, and represents some of the great elements of public opinion. Under these circumstances, Lord Palmerston has en deavoured to extract the materials of a Government from the remains of the Whig party, with some addi tion of men new to the ranks of official life. The first and most difficult office to fill of those now vacant was the Chancellorship of the Exchequer, and in default of Mr. Cardwell, whose exaggerated notions of party obligation led him to follow his friend Mr. Gladstone, he bas appointed Sir George Cornewall Lewis. Although this gentleman has not before filled any of the higher offices of State, he has passed with credit through seve ral of the subordinate departments of Government. He was a member of the Poor Law Commission ; he has since filled the joint Secretaryship of the Board of Con trol, the Under-Secretaryship of the Home Department, and the financial Secretaryship of the Treasury. We learn with great satisfaction that Mr. Laing, the mem ber for the Wick boroughs, well known as the Chairman of the Brighton Railway, will take office, probably as the Vice-President of the Board of Trade. Mr. Laing is already conversant with that department of the Go vernment, in which he filled a subordinate situation in early life ; and his experience in mercantile affair , , his habits of business, and his excellent manner of Parlia mentary speaking on the subjects with which he is con versant, point him out as a very useful member of the new Administration. The same remark cannot be applied to Mr. Vernon Smith, who is said to be designated for the Presidency of the Board of Control. When the administration of the affairs of India was reconsidered on the passing of the India Bill of last session the salary of the President of the Board of Control w5. , 4 raised to 5,0001., in order that the Minister for India might be on a level with the Secretaries of State, and that the country might always command the services of one of its principal statesmen in that most important office. We must be allowed to say that the nomination of Mr. Vernon Smith to this department world be a breach of faith with Parliament and with the public. It would have the effect of throw ing back the affairs of India into the bands of the Court of Directors, for want of a Minister of energy and expe rience to conduct them, and it would add nothing to the weight and consideration of the Cabinet in the House of tioinnions or in the couniay. vents, so far as we are at present acquainted with them, some are creditable to the Government. Mr.Horsman pro ceeds to Ireland as Secretary, and Lord Carlisle is spoken of as the new Lord-Lieutenant, in case Lord St. Ger mans should follow the fortunes of his Peelite colleagues. Sir R. Peel accepts the office of Clerk of the Ordnance, which had been declined last week by Mr. Layard, and Lord Duncan Lor t d his of ra t u h k e a T re rea st s i u ll ry in ; co b in ut . several otherbecomes a arrangements of plete. Upon the whole, we must wait till we are more accu rately acquainted with the cornpositioz and the views of i the new Administration —for such t virtually is—before we determine the degree of confidence it may appear to us to deserve. If the manage/pent of its affairs in Par liament does not show a far higher degree of judgment and ability than Lord P a lmerston has yet displayed in the office of chief Minister and leader of the House of Commons, and if the members who may now be intro duced into the Government are not better qualified than they have yet proved to meet an emergency of extraor dinary difficulty both at home and abroad, we can p rog nosticate no long duration for such a Cabinet. With war, however, raging abroad, with most impor tant negotiations opened, and with some difficulties of considerable magnitude at home, we hold it to be the first duty of all who take part in public affairs to give the best support they can to the Government of their country. The Government may easily augment this support a hundredfold, and convert the forbearance of its critics into the confidence of the nation, by showing a determination to carry the great measures of reform which the condition of the army peremptorily requires. (From the Daily News.) The Government is said to be at length reconstituted. Lord John Russell has consented to be named as Secre tary to the Colonies ' • Lord Elgin is to be Secretary of the Board of Control ; Lord Stanley of Alderley is to be President of the Board of Trade ; Lord Seymour is to be Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster ; Lord Car lisle is appointed Viceroy of Ireland, with Mr. Horsman for Secretary ; and Lord Duncan is to be a Lord of the Treasury. This is, indeed, affecting to settle matters in a most lordly style, and would be ludicrous if it were not lamentable. We say lamentable, because at a crisis of the national fate so perilous as the present we think it deeply to be deplored that any set of men should be found capable of so wanton and deliberate a defiance of public opinion. We have once more a purely Whig Administration. After three weeks of ineffectual attempts to set the dislocated joints of Coalition, Lord Palmerston has abandoned the task as hopeless. Whether some more skilful band may yet be found to perform anew that de licate operation, we need not here determine ; it is enough for the present to observe, that finding the mem bers he most relied on had soddenly become still and Im moveable, the Premier has resorted in more than one case to substitutes made of wood. We draw the widest distinction, as we have ever done, between Whigs of the calibre and the character of Lord John Russell, and those who are capable of serving no \ other purpose than that of crutches to a lame and halting policy. In com bating against the wrong and scandal of exclusiveness wo have never been ourselves exclusive. So long as an opulent and noble hereditary class exists in England, we desire to see its members aspiring to the honours of the State. We never wish to see statesmen of the great ex perience and great ability of Lord John Russell absent from the councils of the Crown. We viewed with regret the omission of his name from the first list of administra tion formed by Lord Palmerston, and we ventured to prognosticate—what has since happened more speedily and more signally than we could have anticipated—that without his aid no Government would, in the present state of affairs, be able to conduct the business of the country. The deplorable spectacle of the last week has abundantly vindicated our anticipations. The Whigs have been unable, either with Aberdeenite colleagues or without them, to guide or govern the House et Com mons ; and in their perplexity and panio they have ac tually been obliged to arrest on his journey to Vienna, by their urgent supplications to return, the man whom a few days since they were chuckling at the notion of having got rid of for the session. The Minister whom the Times denounced not a month ago as one whom his political friends could no longer defend or associate them selves with, and as having been geilty of conduct "that ought to remain a lasting ground of exclusion from the confidence of the nation and the Crown," is already sent for in hot haste by the very friends who bad the ineffable folly and meanness to hear him libelled and abused, without venturing to utter a syllable of remonstrance or di ssen t, No secret was made of their delight at having got rid of the best and ablest man amongst them ; and the mission to Vienna was laughed at openly by every bureaucratic blockhead as a perilous service that would probably keep Lord John out of the House of Commons for months to come ; and now they are only too glad to be assured that he is likely to be back by Easter, and to be permitted in the meantime to take shelter under the shadow of his name. Whatever be the result, we for our parts shall always rejoice at seeing the conduct of a great department, like that of the Colo• s n u i e c sh, menacep l d su b c e h a fo c un pa d be ban a l mongs d t s ; and thevir h i i f half-a gs,we d ozen should heartily rejoice to see them in equally important posts. But it is vain to try to conceal the disappointment a a n n n d odiscontent that th the which Gov th ern e country is trywoill recei ve rcee aoairei lit t s e h o: a be monopolised by the members of a few great their retainers, and nominees. With the exception of four or five individuals, the Cabinet, as now re-con structed, consists entirely of persons wholly destitute of the mental vigour or personal weight that we have a right to look for under any circumstances, but more especially in the present critical state of affairs. It is said that Sir George C. Lewis, whose recent speech against the policy of the present war we took 'occasion to comment on, has been offered the Chancellor ship of the Exchequer. There is certainly nothing like an effective contrast ; and in this instance the friends of Mr. Gladstone will assuredly have no right to complain. The critics of the outgoing Minister have been accus tomed to taunt him with gradually modifying his opi nions in a liberal sense. The severest censor will be unable to find any similar cause of accusation against the right hon. baronet. Re too, indeed, has gradually drifted from the professions of his youth ; but it has been from those of Radicalism towards those of Conserva tism. At one time he was all for the Ballot ; at another, for the overthrow of the Irish Church ; but of late he has become a proselyte to more aristocratic opinions—he votes against any change in ecclesiastical monopoly, and against any curb being put upon the power of landlord intimidation at elections. Sir George Lewis has for some time been editor of the Edinburgh Review ; and we must say, that if his administration of the Exchequer be not more brilliant than his conduct of that venerable periodical, his hearers in a committee of Ways and Means will have dull work of it. Some hesitation, we understand, has been expressed, however, by the re cently elected member for Radnorshire about accepting the post vacated by Mr. Gladstone. Eighteen millions of extra expenditure to be made up somehow in the next budget is certainly no peculiar temptation ' • and though we fear we shall never agree with th e r i g ht honourable baronet as a politician, we own We shall think better of his common sense If he declines the task for which he is apparently so unfit. Some minor shifting& and piomotions will, it is said, take place. The gravity of Sir James - Graham is to be replaced at the Admiralty by the levity of Sir Charles Wood. Mr. Wilson is to be advanced to the Vice- Presidency of the Board of Trade, and his place at the Treasury will probably be filled by Mr. Frederick Peel, provided ne Lord can be got to accept the appointment. A. second vacancy among the Secretaries of the Treasury having been created by the retirement of Lord Alfred Hervey, it is variously conjectured that Lord Edward Howard, Lord Milton, oe Lord Grosvenor, will be in duced to accept that position. Mr. Layard, it has been said, was not indisposed to become Under Secretary of War, the inducement probably being that he would have represented the department in the House of Com mons, his chief being in the Peers. But we believe we are not incorrect in stating that for this very reason the Cabinet of Lords (as the new Administration is likely to be called) deemed the suggestion inadmissible when made by one of their number. They had no objection to Mr. Layard being consigned to silence and forgetfulness in the Colonial-office, the head of which was to be in the House of Commons ; but this generous and flattering proposal Mr. Layard is said to have refused. Bat after what has been don. respecting the principal appoint. ments, it were idle to doubt the spirit in which the sub ordinate offices will be filled up. And now once more the urgent question presses for solution—How is the Government of the country to be carried on ? Mutiny bills, and votes on account in com mittee of supply, may be passed sub silentio. But the annual business of legislation is not yet begun ; and there would seem to be no disposition on any side to be gin it. The conviction appears uppermost in every re flecting mind that, unless there be some reasonable pro spect of our obtaining a Gevernment capable of carrying measures through Parliament, it were waste of time and labour to set about the ordinary work of a session in laborious earnest. Whether the House of Commons will show any dis position to go through the force of make-believe legisla tion, by way of keening in countenance the sham of ad ministration, a few days will probably show. to be traced in national disaster, and in the origin of a war which will make the memory of an Aberdeen Administration hateful, while England remembers the calamities it has provoked. The Peelite party has now 'dwindled to three or four Sir Janies Graham, Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Sidney Her bert are its leaders in the Commons. Their followers are Mr. Cardwell, Mr. Robert Lowe, aria, perhaps, Mr. Goulburn. Sir J. Young has fled to the lonian Islands, and even Mr. Frederick Peel is content to hide himself in any post to which it may please the humour or suit the convenience of Lord Palmerston to toss him. This is the result of want of honesty of purpose or steadiness of principles. To this are reduced the men, who just ten years ago were among the leaders of the strongest Administration that England since the days of Pitt had seen. Their phalanx has melted away like one of our regiments before Sebastopol, and when on Friday even ing the ghastly remnant of what was once the Peelite party stalked to their places at the head of the Radicals, where, Radical journals tell us, they were significantly welcomed by Mr. Bright ! ! they must themselves have felt, that, bitter as was the lesson, it bad its use if they taught others by their example, that men will be used because they are clever, but will be respected only when they are true to some principle and steady to some faith. So endeth the history of the followers of Sir Robert Peel. - LORD JOHN RUSSELL'S MISSION TO VIENNA. (From the Morning Chronicle of this day.) The diplomatic mission entrusted to the able hands of Lord John Russell will speedily enter into its second stage. The repeated interviews which the noble lord has bad both with his Imperial Majesty and Monsieur Drouyn de Lhuys have, doubtless, conducted to a per fect understanding of the terms on which the Govern mints of Great Britain and France are content to treat for peace. At the same time, the British Envoy will have decided with the French Minister of Foreign Af fairs on the means best adapted to arrive at a perfect un derstanding with Prussia. At Berlin, Lord John Rus sell will, doubtless, encounter a cordial personal reception on the part of the Crown and the Government ; but that any satisfactory result will attend his conferences with the Prussian Monarch, or with M. de Manteuffel, we aro less sanguine. We are forbidden by the vacillating policy of the Cabinet of Berlin from indulging in any hopes of the sincere co-operation of Prussia with the Western Powers. The utmost that we are led to expect from the attitude of Prussian diplomatists perchance, a separate treaty, which the Cabinet of Berlin will con tract with the Western Powers, wherein the strict neu trality of Prussia will be defined, and the present favour able issue of merchandise restricted. Should Lord John Russell succeed in impressing on the Prussian Govern ment a due sense of its duties as one of the first Powers of Europe, he will have accomplished a task which sill alike prove of incalculable importance to the Allies and will have consolidated his reputation as a statesman. Within a fortnight the Congress of Vienna will have probably commenced its deliberations, and then will be decided the portentous questions of peace or war—of a satisfactory solution of the Eastern question, or a Con tinental coalition against the aggressive pvlicy of the Czar. We have never anticipated any other result of the Vienna Conferences than diplomatic failure, which will, however, be followed, we believe, by the firm attitude of the more important members of the Ger manic Confederation, and a warlike decision on the part of Austria. On the success of Lord John Russell's negotiations with the Cabinet of Berlin will depend the appearance or non-representation of Prussia in the approaching con ferences. And also on that Cabinet will lay the respon sibility of a general war, or the merit of having contri buted to a lasting peace. By maintaining a firm attitude Prussia will necessarily impress upon the Emperor the dangers which a continuation of hostilities would me nace him with ; whilst on the contrary, by persevering in its present feeble and discreditable policy, the Cabinet of Berlin would strengthen the obstinacy and presump tion of the Czar. Time will prove the amount of sin cerity with which the Emperor was inspired when he em powered Prince Gortschakoff to open the conferences of peace ; and we shall speedily be enabled to observe, by the attitude assumed by the latter diplomatist and his wily coadjutor, M. de Titoff, of the precise intentions of the Czar. Then, also, shall we be relieved from the weight of hesitation and doubt which at this moment depresses the energies of Europe. The position will be then clearly defined, and in case of the approaching Conferences concluding in failure, nothing will remain to the Western Powers but to prosecute the war with vigour, and by every means that their power and influ ence may admit. The manifesto recently issued. by the Emperor of Rus sia to his people has not tended to modify our recorded opinion •with respect to his sincerity on the point of peace. At the same time, the measure it announces—to wit, the mobilisation of the militia of the empire —must be considered not only as an unmeaning threat—a pure nravauo—nut also err... the step in question has been considered as a warlike demonstration in face of the decision of the Diet ; and in Austria it has been accepted as an act approaching to hostility. In a militant point of view, the measure of calling into service the Russian militia cannot be consi dered in the fearful light which evidently it had been in tended to produce. Not only is the major part of the Russian population capaMe of bearing arms already im pressed into the Imperial armies ; but the said militia, composed as it would be, of a disorganised mob, would most likely prove to be an incumbrance rather than a valuable auxiliary. If we are not informed how these unfortunate peasants and citizens are to be disciplined or rendered effective in the field, yet, we learn, from a Russian source, the manner in which they will be armed and dressed. Tkeir uniform will be that of their fathers in 1812—a grey litefka, or frock cent, a cap of the same stuff and colour, with a cross in front, bearing the in scription, " For faith and fatherland." High Russian boots will complete their costume. Instead of bearing pikes, like their fathers in the memorable campaign of Napoleon, they will be armed with muskets, and will be exercised therewith. This Russian militia does not then, we confess, inspire us with any great degree of dread. To organise any body of magnitude will require not only time but money, and fathers of families are not likely to be seized with that martial ardour which the inscriptions on their caps would lead a superficial observer to fear. The military annals of this militia do not in the least tend to increase our terrors, for in the campaigns of 1812 its especial functions were either to conduct prisoners into the interior of the country, or to hang upon the retreat ing force, and to fall with superior numbers upon desultory bodies of the enemy. In the present con flict such auxiliaries would be less than useless. The demand for provisions, and not the desire of peace, has resulted in the recall from the Austrian frontier of the troops concentrated over the king dom of Poland ; and in such a position, when the ser vices of the Imperial Guard are thus neutralised, the inefficiency of the disorganised militia will be still more evident. It has never been our aim to depreciate the military strength of the Russian empire. We willingly admit that in warlike times a despotic State can claim advan tages over those commanded by a constitutional Go vernment ; but at the same time the individual courage, the military instinct possessed by the soldiers of Eng land and France, have proved themselves so superior over the tried legions of the Czar, that we are tempted to confide in them without fear of the result. The latest intelligence communicates to us a repulse of an attack directed by the enemy against the Turkish army concentrated at Eupatoria. Although we do not believe the attack in question to have merited the im portance with which popular desire has invested it, yet we are rejoiced to find that our Ottoman Ally has been enabled to driva hack a first assault. The declaration of war pronounced by the Czar against Sardinia, owing to the peculiar position of the two countries, is deprived of any peculiar importance, and is merely the natural result of the alliance contracted by the Cabinet of Turin with the 'Western Powers. That the diplomatic mission of Lord John Russell may be crowned with results equally favourable to Great Britain as that of the co operation of Sardinia, is our sincere wish ; and by con quering the hostile tendency of Prussia, and consolidat in the active alliance of Austria, the ex-President of the Council will have rendered greater service to the country and to Europe, than has been fated to be ac complished by many diplomatist■ of well-tried value and experience. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE, The latest movements of the Black Sea fleet are men tioned in letters from off Sebastopol, dated the 6th. One of these says:—" The Princess Royal, 91, arrived this morning, so we have now here the Royal Albert, 124, Agamemnon 91, Algiers, 91, Hannibal, 91, and St. Jean d'Acre, 101. The Admiral and Staff will shift over to the Royal Albert towards the end of the week. The naval instructor and chaplain will be the only followers, besides one or two of the midshipmen, who will go with him out of the Agamemnon. The Britannia, 120, Captain T. R. Carter, late flag ship of Tice-Admiral Dundas, C. 8., e x-Commander - in - Chief of the Black Sea fleet, arrived at Portsmouth on Saturday afternoon from the Black Sea and the Medi terranean, 30 days from Malta, owing to contrary winds. She brought home about 100 men of the lost Tiger, who, together with their officers, will undergo the form of trial by court-martial for their participation in that catastrophe. Her crew, now mustering between 500 and 600 men, are in good health. They have not suf fered from any want of proviions on their protracted voyage. Her ship's complement was reduced to the above number from 1,000 men by cholera at Varna, and by sending a large number of seamen and marines into the trenches. Lieutenant the Hon. It. A. Capel, Lieu• tenant Kidd, and Mr. Francis M. Norman, mate, were left on shore off Sebastopol. Her late First Lieutenant (11r. Greathead), it will be remembered, was killed on this service. At the attack by the fleet on Sebastopol every gun on the starboard broadside of the Britannia fired an average of between SO and 90 rounds at Fort Constantine. • The St. George, 120, Captain Eyreq, also anchored at Spithead on Saturday afternoon from Malta, whither r PRICE SD. she had taken troops for the East for Queenstown. She has been five weeks on her passage. She left the Trafal gar close to Gibraltar, and expected to find her at Spit head before her. We regret to add that smallpox broke out among her crew (St. George's), after leaving Malts, there having been 30 cases and two deaths reported. The crews of all these ships will, we believe, be made avail able for the screw fleet, the batteries, mortar-vessels, and gun-boats, together with coast volunteers. The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Com pany's ship Calcutta, taken up by the Government for the transport of troops, has been appropriated for the conveyance of the Royal Lancashire Militia from Ports mouth to Corfu. She arrived at Portsmouth last even ing, and will be ready this day to embark the troops. Detachments of two captains, two subalterns, six ser geants, and 120 rank and file, from the depots of the 20th and 05th Regiments, will embark with the Lancashire ➢Militia on board the Calcutta. The Royal Wiltshire Militia, also under orders for Corfu, will embark at Portsmouth early in the ensuing month on board her Majesty's troop transport Resistance. The clipper ship Result, Captain Cow, the property of Mr. R. Green, of London, arrived at Portsmouth on Saturday afternoon from China, laden with tea, cotton, &e., leaky, having exper4aod ♦ery heavy weather. She did not touch at the Cape. On bringing up at Spit head she parted her chain cable, and tailed near the Spit in the evening at low water ; she touched the ground, but was soon towed into deep water by a Government tug, obtained by Messrs. Garratt and Gibbon, the agents to Lloyds, from the Admiral Superintendent. She has eight feet of water in her hold. Messrs. Garratt and Gibbon took off a good party of hands to help to pump her, and themselves went personally to superintend the work. The cargo is a very valuable one. The Mirage, Captain Carter, from Hartlepool for Shanghai, also arrived at Spithead on Saturday. In working in at the east end grounded on the inner elbow of the Dean Sand, but was assisted off again and anchored at Spithead without apparent damage. By letters from her Majesty's ship Dido, 20, Captain Morshead, C. 8., on .the Pacific station, we learn that on Christmas-day, Lieutenant Pigott, first lieutenant of that ship, was murdered on board by a marine. It ap pears that some of the crew were making an outrageous noise between decks, and Lieutenant Pigott, having tried to put a stop to it, the marine used mutinous language, which induced the lieutenant to threaten to put him is irons. The man then rushed at the officer and plunged a knife into his abdomen, from the effects of which he soon after died. Her Majesty's iew steam yacht 'Victoria and Albert, in the steam basin at Portsmouth, is having some alte rations made in the arrangements for the accommoda tion of the ship's company, at the suggestion of the Hon. Joseph Denman, which will render them much more comfortable. The Comet steam-tug went to Spithead yesterday, and took out of the St. George several of her sick men, and landed them at Haslar Hospital. The Sprightly steam-tender took out of the Calcutta, at Spithead, yesterday, all the men belonging to the Blenheim, Hogue, &c., who had been on leave. She also landed the two Bulgarian children, whose capture, or rather guardianship by the officers of the Firebrand, has been before fully described. The following is an extract from a letter received from an officer of one of her Majesty's transport-ships, with 574 troops on board, bearing date Gibraltar :—" On ac count of smallpox breaking out, and showing itself in only one case of a very mild nature, it was deemed ex pedient by the commander of the forces and the captain of the steamer to put into Gibraltar for the purpose of landing the above case, and thereby preventing, as far as human means could go, a contagion which would most likely rapidly increase on account of the crowded state in which the men were packed together. On the existence of the case being reported to the health officer, the ship was placed in quarantine as a matter of neces sity ; but, although we lay in harbour awaiting the decision of the authorities respecting the matter for the space of 24 hours, the only reply was that some of the authorities were desirous of convening a Board of Health, which unfortunately militated against the opinion of others. 1 pest-captain of one of her Majesty's ships is harbour also explained to the governor the necessity of the invalid's removal, and heroically offered to remove him on board his own ship rather than that we should run the danger of putting to sea with the case on board. However, after waiting some considerable time longer no result could be obtained. Surely this is another flagrant case which proves to the public the want of head in all our public departments. The final reply has just been sent. 'We are net to be admitted. Several other cases are just showing them selves. One man of the 73d Regiment is down in the di<eme. We have to proceed to Malta immediately, al though it is the opinion of medical men that it is mad ness to do so." 1 court-martial assembled on board the Intpregnahle, 104, at Plymouth, en Thursday, for the trial of Com mander Henry Alexander Story and Mr. Thomas H. of her Majesty's ee , ..er steam-sleion Harier. for running that ves se l as h ore on th e morn i ng of the 29th of November, off the island of Virgin Gorda, in the West Indies. Rear-Admiral Plarnridge presided, and the prisoners were sentenced to be severely repri manded, the Court " being of opinion that sufficient precautieas were not taken to secure the safety of the ship." The hired sailing transport Deva, 96, of Liverpool, Captain William Giffard, from the Bosphorus, Jan. 4th, and the Straits of Gibraltar, Feb. 2d, arrived in Plymouth Sound on Saturday morning. This ship took out the head-quarters of the 4th Dragoon Guards, whom she landed at Varna July 10, and has returned in ballast, having three invalided seamen from the transports, War Cloud, Talavera, and Mauritius. Lieutenant Scott, R.N., is the agent in charge. Jan. sth, in the worth entrance to the Dardanelles spoke the transport Panola, No. 71 ; Jan. 7, in the Zea channel, the transport Mary Ann, 64 ; Jan. 13th, north of Malta, the transport Maori, 91, Escort, 97, London, 34, Burmab, 85, and, bound to Plymouth, the War Cloud, 56. Jan. 30 and Feb. 1, six miles east of Gibraltar, all loaded and bound west, the Rebecca, of Glasgow, Juliana, the Austrian brig St. George, four large Austrian ships, aid the schooner Gratitude, 18 days out from London for Gib raltar. On the 17th inst., in lat. 50 deg. 25 min. north, long. 10 dog. 12 min. west, wind south south-east, blow ing strong, saw a three-decker, under close reefed can vas, standing to the south, supposed to be her Majesty's ship Britannia, 120, Captain Thomas W. Carter. Feb. 23, in the channel, spoke the bark Laura, going up the channel, supposed from Pernambuco for Hamburg. The Deva was 39 days going out to the Black Sea, and 50 days iu coming home. The transport Sultana, with invalids from the Crimea, arrived in Plymouth Sound on Saturday morning. The screw steam-ship Exmouth, 90, Captain Pelham, has returned from her trial cruise to Plymouth Sound. She is described by those on board as " worse than the Albion ; rolls tremendously, and carries away every thing." Her mainyard is gone. The machinery answers very well. Lieutenant George F. Day and Lieutenant Corn merell have been appointed to the command, at Ply mouth, of the two gun-boats (Nix and Salamander) re cently exchanged for the frigate Thetis. Each boat is to have a complement of 65 men, but where they are to be stowed it is difficult to say. The screw-corvette Tartar, 20, Captain H. Dunlop, entered Plymouth Sound on Friday morning. She left Portsmouth a week ago to cruise in the Channel. The Tartar experienced very heavy weather, and became leaky. The paddle-wheel steam-sloop Prometheus, 5, Com mander Jasper H. Selwyn, which arrived at Plymouth on Thursday, left Sierra Leone on the 27th of January, and, after a series of headwinds, arrived at Teneriffe on the night of the Bth inst. Having coaled and watered on the island, she sailed again on the morning of the 13th inst. At the time of her leaving Sierra Leone the oily men of-war on the northern division were the brig Britomart, 8, Commander A. Hesseltine, at Sierra Leone ; and the sloop Ferret, 8, Commander C. T. Leckie, cruising off the river Poegos. In the Bights were the brig Crane, 8, Commander Thomas Miller ; the brigantine Dolphin, 3, Lieutenant-Commander Edmund Webber ; and the paddle-wheel steam-vessel Antelope, 3, Lieutenant- Commander Charles H. Young. In the south division the sloop Philomel, 8, Commander ,John D. Macskene ; the screw steam-sloop Plumper, 9, Commander G. A. L. Wharton ; and the paddle-wheel steam-vessel Pluto, 4. The Commodore left Lagos in December for the south coast, and was expeated shortly at Sierra Leone. The brig Crane, 6, Commander Thomas Miller, has re ceived her sailing orders, and may be expected home at au early period. Rear-Admiral Plumridge has hoisted his fact as super intendent of th e Devon p ort dock yard on board the guard-ship in ordinary Royal William, 120, Captain ICingcombe, at Plymouth. The riggers employed in fitting the screw steam-ship Cornwallis, 60, at Devonport, have got topgallantmasts pointed and topsailyarde crossed. The screw steam-ship Duke of Wellington, 131, will be taken out of the Keyham Dock this day, and she will go into Plymouth Sound on the 2d of March. The Captain of the Baltic fleet, the Hon. F. T. Pelham ' will take charge o f h er to P ortsmout h, w h ere s h e will bear the flag of Rear-Admiral Dundas, C. 8., Commander-in- Chief of the Baltic Fleet. The steam-vessel Lightning, at Woolwich, will be appropriated as tender to the Duke for the service of the Admiral, and for postal purposes. At the Devonport Dockyard the smiths are now working from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Shipwrights em• ployed in the boathouse, and all the joiners, except those employed on the Conqueror, work extra hours. The transport Timandra has sailed for the Crimea. The lighter Rambler sailed during last week for the same destination. The shipwrecked master and crew of the schooner Hiram, of Cardiff, have boen landed at Deal from the Odea, from New Yorkifor Hamburg. The master, Lake, renorts that he sailed in the _Hiram, from Cardiff, on the 13th inst., for Gibraltar, and when in latitude 47.50 (Bay of Bi sca y), th e wea th er b e i n g very bad, the ve ssel sprunk a leak. The crew were kept at the pumps from the 16th to the 20th inst., without any rest. About 10 a.m. of the 20th, the water being then up to thQ cabin floor, the master and crew abandoned the (Front Ike Morning Herald of this day.) Lord John Russell has accepted the seals of a Secre tary of State. We are to have once more an exclusively Whig Ministry. Matters have reverted, as far as mi nisterial arrangements are concerned, pretty much to the state of things existing prior to Lord Palsnerston's ex pulsion by Lord John Russell in December, 1851, with the exception that Lord Palmerston and Lord John Rus sell have changed places ; Lord Palmerston is the head of the Cabinet, and Lord John Russell the subordinate Secretary of State. Strange, indeed, if this were to be the only result of all the shifting scenes of the drama which has been en acted throughout the last tkree years. In the beginning of December, 1851, a Whig Cabinet ruled the councils of England, with Lord John Russell as its chief. In that month the country was startled by the announcement that one of the most able and,_popular members .t the Cabinet had been dismissed. Lord .iohn Russell, as Premier, haughtily dispensed with the services of his to tear Vo The VAlriire °NV?: S r o e in e c i : ■ h"iri l . :t d . By the Queen's special commands Lord John Russell told him that he must cease to be a Minister of the Crown. The words of the letter of dismissal were couched in the authoritative terms of an almost conteraptuons re primand, and Lord Palmerston was driven from the Cabinet of the Q.een. Three years from the date of that strange story have scarcely passed, when we see again the same Ministry in office. But the dismissed and reprimanded statesman is now its chief, and the Prime Minister, who so gravely and haughtily rebuked him, is now content and proud to take his place below him. Have all the changes and chances of these three years been only arranged to settle the dispute between the two Whig chieftains and give a personal triumph to Lord Palmerston. It seems as if their only result had been to reverse and avenge that contemptuous dismissal of December 1851. Whatever is to be the phas e of the future, it is cer tain that at this moment our ministerial arrangements have reverted to the point from which they started by the dismissal of Lord Palmerston in December, .1.851. We have what is termed by a strange misnomer a pure Whig Administration, and the family party of the " great houses" once more try their hand at managing the affairs of this great nation. . - Let us, however, for a moment turn our attention to another section of politicians who have managed to play no inconsiderable part in this strange cycle of events. The remnant of the Cabinet of Sir Robert Peel must now look on the result with some feelings of mortifica tion when they see that they have been only used as a temporary convenience while the differences of the Whig party were in process of adjustment. In 1850 they joined the Conservativ e s a Lord t iy Palmerston,es i n an attempt in mnhthhe foreignrelation to Greece appeared likely to damage the in in teres ts of the country. Succeeding i n th e H ouse o f Lords, that effor t failed in the Commons, b u t th e debate in which Lord Palmerston triu mphed over his o pponents p e ol C ic o y n o se f will long be memorable for the tone of severity in which Sir Robert Peel himself and his followers condemned the The very next day c losed, by a mel a n c h o l y acc id en t, policy of the present Premie r . tfohreeic"aureer of Sir Robert Peel. From the hour of his death, the little band of factionists that have assumed his name as their watchword, appeared to b. guided by but one principle of action, and that was to exclude by all from power. With this and by their object they supported, r support maintained Ministry of Lord John Russell, whose in o ffi ce the foreign policy they had so vehemently denounced. Sir James Graham sat, it is true, en the back benches of the Opposition, but he sat there, as his late secretary told means the Conservative party him— Minis " A sweet little c herub si ts smiling a l o ft To keep watch o'er th e life of po or J ac k." Notwithstanding their opposition on th e one so lit ar y p c l e e e s i i a i t s e t g i c t a h l atn s Titles ab Bill, it was th e gene ral e e l th e Whig try to live on through the s ession of 1851. meassuuprpeoorft the of t h E e c When that Ministry fell, Lord Derby, as the chief of the Conservative party, was called to take the reins of power. We need not go over the discreditable details of the conspiracy by which he was driven from office. In that conspiracy the Peelite faction bore the chief p art. It was entirely by their means, b y t he personal agency of the Duke of Newcast le, that there w as brought t o th e conspiracy ihe aid of that Popish contingent which finally decided the conflict. With the fall of Lord Derby 's Administration the Peelites had achiev e d t h eir great ob ject. They had avenged upon their old friends the never-forgiven defeat of 1846. They had driven from office the party with whom they had been so long allied, and they had inflicted a heavy blow upon the principles which some of them had all their lives supported. But they thought they had done inore—they stipulated for a share of the spoil—they, without followers and without influence, insisted on dividing w i th the once great Whig party the Cabinet offices ; nay, still more, they nominated a Premier—they seized for their little faction the most proruinet departments of administration. and if they were content to abandan all their Conservative traditions in their home policy, and do the work of undermining the old institutions of England, they revenged themselves for it by forcing on their colleagues a blind acquiescence in their despotic and absolutist policy in our foreign relations. Such has been the position of the Peelites for the last two years. The political history of Englied recorded no such instance of successful intrigue. m en whose whole lives had been a war upen everything liberal were placed at the head of affairs by the representatives of those who claim a monopoly of liberal opinions. Lord Aberdeen, the very impersonation of absolutist opinions, was installed as the champion of liberty. The author of "The Church in its Relations to the State" was re garded as the advocate of the extreme opinions of Radi cal Reformers ; and at the head of the Liberal party, as they call themselves, Lord John Russell was made subordinate to the faction of Lord Aberdeen, But the day of retribution has come. With " wounded feelings," to use the phrase of Sir James Graham, with mortified sensibilities and bitterly disap pointed ambitions, successive batches of this little party have been driven from office. They have been used as the instruments to enable the Whig Cabinet to be re constructed ; and not only this, they see the man whose policy they most hate advanced as the result of all their intrigues to the foremost place in the councils of the nation, and they have the satisfaction of reflecting that their presence in the councils of their Sovereign is only L'. /P7z- c •4s -,---, .--;; - ‘7* Viiii:: .. •• , ii : ,iir...,,,rii. 4 ,0, , - . er:7'J-- Av-A. --,, : . .: , ; 1 . \ P‘f . mei Is Ike Unto beit t *A ins owl ti omie d - - strk7: r rietAnev, ...f,, 4 41s- - 1 1 ; t The Araptilan, S 4, germ frigate, Captain A., 0: le6y, ,- '..1:, 2 ' . ..A if-ii has had her masts put into her at Sheerness, and is in - ::, - 71 , --, , c. , - other respects progressing rapidly with her equipment. *€ - -4.1.1 - 1 - ... ;* The Russell, 60, screw steam-ship, Captain Franck ,.;.-- Scott, has had her boilers put on board, and they are .
