Several interesting explanations were last night given in reference to proceedings duringt iio lie ia late is Ministeri a l crisis. Lord GRANVILLE, w resumed the position of President of the Council, which he had vacated in deference to Lord JOHN RUSSELL, is, it appears, to be the leader in the Upper House---a matter respecting which he spoke with conmmedable modesty, and in terms calculated to produce a very favourable impres sion on the House and country. We have long appreciated the talent and business habits of the Noble Lord, but we confess that, considering his youth, it would have appeared more suitable if the important duty had devolved on Lord CLA RENDON, whose position, as Foreign Secretary, would seem to indicate him as the legitimate leader, when the Premier sits in the other branch of the Legislature. The arrangements, however, which depend in a great degree on personal feel ing, and cannot affect the strength or effi ciency of the Government, are matters which may be fairly left in the hands of the different members of the Cabinet to settle among themselves, and with which the public are scarcely called on to interfere. It might be that the numerous and onerous duties of the Foreign Secretary were such as to render him unwilling to assume the leadership in the Lords, and that it was for that reason the new President of the Council was to a certain extent elevated to the chief position in the hereditary branch of the Legislature. His exposition of the intended Ministerial policy is practically the same as that put forward by the ABERDEEN Government, so far as internal affairs are concerned ; while with re ference to the War he declares that " Lord PAL MERSTON and his colleagues mean to take every measure in their power to carry it on with all possible vigour and energy until that day, and not a day later, when a just and honourable peace, comprehending both the interests of Europe and the honour of this country, shall be attained." Similar professions were also made by the late 'Government ; and we have seen how wide was the difference between the promise and performance. We have, however, greater faith in the vigour and energy of Lord PALMERSTON than of Lord ABER DEEN, and greater confidence as to what may be considered " a just and honourable peace, com prehending both the interests of Europe and the honour of this country," by the present than the late PREMIER. The words may be the same, bu they are to be interpreted by a Tory different standard. The most interesting explanation, however, was that given by Lord DERBY, in clear, distinct, and unequivocal terms. The Noble Lord dis played a soundness of judgment and disinterested patriotism that must materially add to the high estimation in which he is held by the nation, and which leads to the hope that the obstacles which prevented a union of parties, and the formation of a really strong Government may not prove in surmountable on some future occasion. The sub stantial difference that existed between the Derbyite and Liberal parties was removed by the total and unqualified abandonment of Protection. We have shown that in legal, fiscal, financial, and monetary reforms the former are just as likely to assent to large and comprehensive measures as. the latter—indeed, in one respect, that of a more equitable adjustment of the In come Tax. We might confidently anticipate it from Mr. DISRAELI, while it is proved to be hopeless so long as Mr. GLADSTONE remains at the head of the Financial Department. The Parliamentary Reform so urgently demanded would, we aro convinced, be more likely to be carried, and be better worth obtaining, for it would include " the Ballot," with the Whigs in Opposition rather than in office. In the one case it might be again, as it has already been, shelved ; while, on the other, it would be pressed forward with the utmost force. The country would not have obtained the repeal of the ob noxious Corn Laws so speedily or satisfactorily had the Whigs remained in office, and not seen the propriety of becoming converts in order to win their way back to the Treasury Benches. Although Lord DERBY might have reasonably hoped for greater forbearance, under the existing circumstances of the country, than had previously been displayed, he was unquestionably right in seeking to obtain the aid of Lord PALMERSTON, whose services were unanimously desired by the country ; and, also, in offering to accept with him some of his late colleagues, although we con fess Mr. GLADSTONE is not one of the parties whom we should desire to see selected, as it would be fatal to the hope of an equitable adjust ment of the Income-tax difficulty. It was quite clear that he would also have willingly received Lords CLARENDON and LANSDOWNE. So that Lord PAL3IERSTON might, had he pleased, have carried with him from his late colleagues a large proportion of the new Cabinet. Satisfactory arrangements might have been greatly facilitated by the disinterested conduct of Mr. DISRAELI, who at once waived his own powerful claims, so that he might not stand in the way of the union so greatly to be desired. This conduct will no doubt be duly appreciated, and, when the pro per time arrives, may produce important results. The obstacle to the arrangement, which would have been so beneficial to the country, arose from some who are now in office. In obtaining the as surance of the co-operation of Lord rz , LENBOROUGII and Sir EDWARD BITLWER LYTTON, the Noble Lord materially strengthened the Government. One mistake he seems tohave committed, He did not propose to place Lord PALMERSTON at the head of the War Department. That, however, was the position for which he was peculiarly qualified, a a r l id o f s o t r which he was indicated by th e genera l 'w t sh of the coun t ry , t o w hi c h h e was elected almost b y acclamation. It wa s th e error P r oved fatal to the restoration of Lord apcEonaßlYitioton i°sMpeoes.sib'l.eV,e have s e en, h o wev e r, th a t and we venture to say that it will not l ong be d eferred.

We should not then any longer have " a Ministry on sufferance ;" and those will deserve well of their country who exert themselves to produce a con- summation so devoutly to be wished for as a really strong and united Government. Horrible and heartrending as the accounts of the sufferings and the mortality of our troops in the Crimea have been, there was still one gleam of consolation left for the distressed and much enduring public. If the military staff wrapped themselves up in a cold, haughty, and selfish ex elusiveness, and manifested no care nor anxiety for any one or anything but themselves and their chief, whose ears, forsooth, must, in their opinion, be protected, at any cost, from the dis sonant wails of the wounded and dying ; if some of the medical officers, taking their cue from head quarters, went over their wards and made their arrangements as though having anatomised the human heart, and examined the living fibres of the brain with microscopic accuracy, they had found the one stone and the other as insensible to pain as spun glass; if the Commissariat, learned in traditional misd.oings, gave no indications of being possessed of bowels of compassion, still, there was this comfort left the poor public—that, crammed as the Pandora's box had been with evil, one good thing would assuredly be found at the bottom, and that good thing the consolations of religion from the hearts and lips of her ap pointed ministers. Wearied and unspiritual lay men might, in the contemplation of their own misery, become indifferent to the sufferings of their comrades and friends ; but the ordained ministers of a religion of mercy—they, by no possibility, could fail in the discharge of their important duties—their good offices could not, by the remotest chance, be wanting. Miserable dupe of a public that you are, how, it would seem, you have been deceived ! If our readers will turn to our latest edition of Wednesday they will see an extract from a letter by a correspondent of the Times at Scutari, and dated the Ist of the present month. From this it would appear that the Melbourne, the first of four steamers regularly fitted up and supplied with the proper appliances of an hospital ship, left the Golden - Horn on the preceding Thursday with a freight of sick and wounded men, under the medical charge of Dr. RUTHERFORD, an able and conscientious officer, and his assistants. Now, as every one at all conversant with surgical mat ters must know amplitude in a surgery is a deside ratum of great importance, and duly recognising this fact, Admiral BOXER very properly directed the largest cabin in the ship—a transport-ship, be it remembered—the " largest cabin," conse quently suggesting no notion of chilliness by its size—to be used as a surgery. Could the reader have conceived it possible that any one with the feelings of a man could dream even of disturbing an arrangement like this—much less a clergyman, still less the senior Chaplain of her MAJESTY'S forces in the East ? And yet, if we are to believe the Times correspondent, the most monstrous conception of the three would have proved the most correct. That most apostolical of divines— who ought either to have been a prebend or a bishop—in the plenitude of his personal benevo lence, cast (we are informed) an envious eye on this best of cabins. Dearly beloved by himse in the LORD, what to him was the physical wet fare of the wounded heroes whose souls only were committed to his pastoral superintendence ? What reeked he tedious and imperfect operations, and needlessly prolonged suffering ? Better that many should be miserable than that a dignified divine should fail of luxurious ease. He took, we are told, possession of the cabin ; and when Dr. RUTHERFORD quietly represented to him the uses to which it was to be applied—with a silly arrogance it would not be easy to parollal, this prince of chaplains declared himself quito ready to take upon himself the responsibility of retain• ing "tity cabin until my arrival at BAlaklava, feeling quite sure that the Commander of the Forces will not consider my conduct wrong in up holding my position as Principal Chaplain, of her Majesty's Forces." And as if this was not enough, he goes on to say, " You are perfectly at liberty to make any arrangements for the comfort of the sick, but that you (.9 and an assistant-surgeon (! !) should wish to remove me from my present cabin is, I conceive, not only highly wrong, but espe cially so as directed towards me, a clergyman." Another ntorcean still remains : "I have the honour to consider your manner highly unbecom, ing, and shall not fail to report it to Lord RAG LAN." Shades of the Apostles ! surely you never heard or road of anything like this ! What we wish-to say by way of comment on this affair will admit of much conciseness. "Ex uno disces ()ranee." If this be a sample of our clerical staff in the East—and the Rev. Gentleman is " Prin- cipal Chaplain "—GOD help our poor wounded soldiers ! There will be little spiritual consola tion for them ! What was that poor priest that - - laid down his life to give the wounded succour Whatever he was he was not Principal Chaplain of her MAJESTY'S Forces in the East. Ni ov _N EY MA ft K.

Railway Shares were dull, and the quotations were slightly in favour of buyers. Business in Colonial produce, this week, has been of a more limited character, the purchases having been mostly for immediate requirements. British Plantation, as well as Madras sugar, were at full rates early in the week, but have become quiet since, and some descriptions of Mauritius and Ben gal were sold at a slight reduction. Coffee has been very little offered, but former terms have been sustained, and tea has ruled dull though steady. In spices there have not been many dealings, nor in rice, but there is ne reduction to notice in their values. For Rum there has not been much in quiry, and cotton has attracted but little attention. Cochineal has risen about ld. per lb.; saltpetre has receded 6d. to 9d. per cwt. The following state ment upon the Indigo market is f urn i s h e d b y Messrs.

A private despatch from Turin announces the adoption of the treaty of alliance by the Chamber of Deputies yesterday morning. The Moniteur contains no official intelligence of interest. It gives the following account of an action fought on th© Danube, published by the Journal de Constantinople, to which, however, we give no credence : " Bucharest, Jan. 20. " The news has arrived here by Matschin and Ibraila, that a Russian corps in the Dobrudscha, having at tempted to pass the Danube, hal been repulsed with great loss, after a conflict of several horn, by the rear guard of Yaya Pacha, and that the latter had already crossed the Danube at Tults:the, and Ismail. During the last six days the Turkish forces that were at Ibraila under the command of Achtnet Paella, have crossed the Danu be at Goura-Jalonitza." The following additional private telegraphic de spatches were received in Paris yesterday : CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. I.—The changes in the per sonnel of the Government continue. Selint Bay, Cham berlain, and Feria and Safiz, Secretaries to the Sultan, have been dismissed, and replaced by proteg6s of Reschid Paella. These dismissals have produced considerable sensation. TRIESTE, Feb. 7.—Accounts from Constantinople state that Vassif Pacha, who has jest left to take the command of the army of Asia, is ordered to keep on the defensive, and fortify himself between Erzeroum and Toprakald.

It is also said that the Government is preparing a special law against brigandage, which will form part of the treaty of commerce with the Porte. The Seraglio Barracks has been given up by the Ot toman Government for the accommodation of the reserve of the French army. THE BALTIC. The following is extracted from a letter from Kiel, dated Feb. 5 :-- You have already been informed that Russia has been making vast preparations against the at tacks which are expected to be made by the Allied fleets and armies in the spring ; that every fort has been strengthened, and every point where a landing might be attempted has been carefully examined with a view to its more complete de fence, and that arrangements have been made for the formation of parts of the coast, and for the rapid collection of troops from all quarters to such points as may be assailed. Lines of telegraph are now forming along the shores of the Gulfs, and every precaution will be adopted to prevent the possibility of sur prise. - A step in advance is now contemplated. They have plucked up courage from our back wardness last year, and attack, not defence, has become their theme. They now intend more fully to equip their ships, so as to fit them for seeking an encounter with the Allied forces. Contracts have been advertised for immense sup lies of hemp, canvas, oak timber, and plank, and every other description of naval stores, the whole to be delivered, under heavy penalties, before the end of March, and there is such a degree of activity displayed throughout the whole operations of the Government as has never before been witnessed, so as to reach the Allies, if indeed they require the lesson, that they have neither a weak nor an idle foe to cope with. Let us hope that England will now have a fair chance of showing that on her proper element hor sons will know how to main tain that superiority which their fathers gained in every quarter of the globe. The Russian Vice-Consul at this port has just been raised to the higher office of Consul, and the Czar has sent him the Cross of the Commander of the Order of St. Stanislaus, in token of his appro bation of his zealous services.

For the first tinee ladies were not exc l u d e d f rom a di nner a t which Turki s h f unct i onar i es were present. The Colo gne G aze tt e states th a t t wo F renc h divi sions, as long since announced, will now positively enter the Principalities, where, in conjunction with the Turks, th e y are t o occu py those strategic points which are not sufficiently secured against surprise by the. Russians. It is now stated from Turin that the French Government have applied for permission for a Corps (tarn/6e to pass through the Piedmontese ' territory, A Iby the Simplon road, into Lombardy, IMPERIAL PARLIAiI and thence through Austria, to the seat of war on the Danube. We suppose that in such a case the Swiss Government, through whose territories the troops would have to pass, will be consulted. Hitherto the neutrality of the republic has been guarded almost with ostentation. HO USE OF COMMONS—CM S j° ' The SPEAKER took the chair shortly after 1, PRIVATE BILLS.

Since Monday, the arrivals of English wheat up to our market coastwise and by land carriage, have been on a very limited scale, and the show of samples to-day, was trifling. For most kinds, we had only a moderate inquiry. In the quotations, scarcely any change took place from Monday. Foreign wheats were mostly held for money; but the business doing in that grain was limited, at about station ary prices. Floating cargoes were steady, but not dearer. Malting barley was in fair request at full prices ; but grinding and distilling sorts met a slow sale. In the value of malt we have no report to make. There was a decided improvement in the oat trade, and good sound lower was rather dearer. Beans, peas, and flour as last advised. ' ARRIVALS THIS MINK. i i Wheat. Barley.

A very moderate supply of beasts was on offer in to day's market, yet the demand for all kinds ruled very in active at barely Monday's currency. Very few sheep were on sale. The mutton trade, however, was heavy on former terms. The few calves in the market found buyers at full prices. In pigs very little was doing, but we have no change to notice in their value. Mulch cows were ex tremely dull at from 14/. to 191. each, including their small calf. Per Sibs to sink the offals. s. d. 5. d.

STATI OF TRADE.—The lace trade maintains its tone of quiet monotony, with very little of the ordinary busi ness doing—the extreme severityof the weather, and the state of the ministry, having added perceptibly to the prevailing depression. The hosiery tr.kele continues the same at last week, with additional gloom. The manu facturers are no doubt all making a little, and in so far affording ensployrnent, but whether this is with a view to the demands of the home trade or simply on specula ' tion, we cannot pretend to decide. Ma,t,rials continue firm, and so far as cotton yarns are concerned, would be considerably in demand, were prices i nc li ne d to give way, which they are not. — Nottinghamshire Guardi an .

THE RUSSIAN MAJOR AT INKERbIAN.—R will be re collected that after the battle of Ink erinan a Russian Ala jor was taken prisoner in the act of stabbing the wounded men in the field. It was said at tile time that an op portunity would be afforded by his capture of testify ing the disgust and horror of the Allied Armies at the barbarous conduct which this officer, as well as many °Viers of his countrymen, had exhibited, and that be would be brought to public execut . or.. His fate, how ever, has not been recorded in auy of the correspondence from the se a t o f war we have yet seen published. We now learn from a letter of one of the three youth ful surgeons who left Edinburgh in October W last fur S cu t ar i that the expected victim has disap pointed pu bli c vengeance. When captured hehad a severe wound in his shoulder, and was sent to the hos pital at Kululee, near Scuturi, which is set apart f or wounded R uss i an prisoners, and where he died a short time ago.
