The following list of the n®w Cabinet has been put in circulation : First Lord of the Trim- Viscount PALMERSTON'. sury Lord Chancellor Lord CRANWORTIL President of the Council Earl GRANVILLE. Privy Seal Home Secretary... Right Ron. SIDNEY HERBERT. Foreign Secretary Earl of CLARENDON. Colonial Secretary ... 1- 1 -wrrRGE GREY. Minister Ski War L :;11CRE. Chancellor of the Ex- i don. W. E.

In the Cabinet, but Marquis of LAN3BOWNS. without office President of the Board Sir CHABLER WOOD. of Control It will be seen from our Parliamentary report that the writs for Tiverton and South Wilts were moved this morning. The new Ministers met at Lord Palmerston's this afternoon, and after wards repaired by special train to Windsor, where her Majesty held a Privy Council, for the purpose of investing them with the seals of office. " Patience, and shuffle the cards 1 " The nation must perforce act on the advice given to DON QUIXOTTE by the Eidolon of Durindante in the Cavern. It must perforce have patience while the leaders, or would-be-leaders, of the future Government are " shuffling the cards," and striving to meet the crisis by new combinations of the old " pack." The popular branch of the Legislature is already manifesting strong symp toms of discontent ; and naturally so, for from what has been suffered to leak out, we cannot discern any prospect of a satisfactory solution of the existing difficulty, or anything that will make amends for the very prejudicial, if not destructive, procrastination that is taking place. As we have recently stated we do not blame Lord PALMERSTON for the delay. Other parties, who suffer their own personal feelings to interfere with and impede the public service, must bear the blame which they have so justly merited, and will moat assuredly fall on those who hung back, on trivial or inadequate grounds during the present emergency. But we do condemn him for n ot displayi ng greater vigour and determination when fo rbneoht f as ul t l h y av eu a n il c ig o n ntrolled direction of affairs himself of the unlimited powers with which he has been entrusted, and at once divergin g f rom the beaten track—the ordi nary tricks of Cabinetmaking. We assume that he is in possession of such po wers, that a carte bl anc h e has been placed in bis hands, that he has been wholly emancipated from the trammels of Germanism, and i s not, by a ezentico process, irretrievably fettered to the ?It morticton o f . w e cap Aberdeenism have too great reliance on the Noble Viscount —on his in dependence and manliness of character—to suppose that he would undertake the arduous and impor tant duty with which he is charged on terms alike detrimental to h is own reputation and to the national welfare. If he has not stipu lated for perfect freedom, he is not the man we have supposed him to be, and; we will add, not the man suited for the existing difficulty, the pilot with ability sufficient to weather the im pending storm ! We must, therefore, assume that he possesses unlimited authority to enter into all the arrangements which he may consider essen tial for the formation of a strong Government. It must, therefore, be with his own free will, ex mere mote that he has been negotiati ng w ith the condemned portion of the Cabinet —with GLAD STONEi Iia,BEET U GRAkILLM ! and ABERDEEN H I I and that he has permitted the public business to remain in abeyance, and that, too, at a period when even minutes are of vital importance to gratify the vanity of these men, whose co-opera tion will be more dangerous than their most active hostility. We readily accord to Mr. GLADSTONE the title of a ready debater, a man well qualified to make " the worse appear the better reason," and capable of carrying with him persons. anxious to be con vinced, and seeking only for plausible excuses to satisfy their own, by no means exigent consciences. But no man has ever in an equal time committed so many grave mistakes, or put himself forward as the advocate of more erroneous principles. While he remains in the Exchequer, we may look in vain for the fiscal, financial, and monetary reforms so urgently required by the country. Better even the dull imbecility of Sir CHARLES WOOD than the active perversity of Mr. GLADSTONE-the stub born incapacity of the man who would not move at all, than the undue rapidity of him whose movements are almost invariably in the wrong di rection. The frogs, when they had for some time endured the visitation of King STORK, deplored his less obnoxious predecessor the Royal LOG; and strange as it may appear, Mr. GLADSTONE has proved that there may be even a worse Financial Minister than the present President of the India Board. But is it not Mr. GLADSTONE who is alleged to have constituted the impediment to every Mi nistry ? It "is asserted that Lord PALMERSTON would hare acted with Lord DERBY but for the refusal of the Right Hon. Gentleman to co-ope rate ! That Lord Jolior Russnr.r.,, in like manner, found him the insuperable ob stacle ; while he has been the stumbling-block in the way of Lord PALMERSTON, which has led to so many delays and difficulties. If so, we think his importance is greatly exaggerated, and that his assistance to any Government would be scarcely worth the price at which it can only be obtained. Mr. HERBERT, too, was one of those against whom the censure of the House of Commons was so unequivocally pronounced. His hereditaryPro-Rus sianism was well known, and strong objections were entertained to thepresence in the Cabinet, and that, too, in a department closely connected with the administration of the War, of the nephew of Prince WonoNzow—the sister's son of the Governor of Southern Russia. The question " Why spare Odessa ?" has been frequently asked. Could the desire to preserve uninjured the splendid and costly palace of the uncle of a Cabinet Minister of the Eng lish Secretary at War, havehad anything to do with that unfortunate decision ? At all events, the knowledge that the CZAR had a person over whom he might, through one of his leading subjects, exercise great influence must have had a con siderable effect on other Powers. Why, then, is he to be retained ? Of Sir JAMES GRAHAM we can scarcely say that the head of the Admiralty is so completely unconnected with the management of the War as to be exonerated from the implied censure passed thereon ! The Administration of the Navy in the Euxine ! and tho Baltic ! must be subjected to stringent investigation, and we con fess that we see little difference between the re tention of the War department by the Duke of NEWCASTLE and the Admiralty by "the Lord of Netherby." But everything yields in importance to the alleged determination to keep Lord Am: BEEN in some office. If that be attempted, fare well to every hope of Lord PA.LKERSTON'S success. Anything else might be tried, but that would be ioo bad. IG ‘ vuid 6.; :111E4 S-Lualien the countrymen of the ex-Premier, term " Could kail het again !" an arrangement revolting to the feelings of the nation. Lord PA.LMARSTON may be assured that Lord ABERDIEM is the JONAH that must be thrown overboard, if he hopes to steer the vessel of the State safely into port. As yet we only kuow that Lord PALLMNIESTON is to be the Premier, and Mr. HERBBET Home Secretary—the only other change being, as it is said, Lord PA NAIITRE, better known as Mr. Fox MATILE, to the War Department. This is the old leaven still, and will not, we fear, be suited to the emergency. We want new blood— vigorous and energetic. We cannot say that as yet any symptoms are perceptible of the want being supplied or the great difficulty removed. The "cards have been slightly shuffled," but that is all. The exchange of a few offices, and the substitution of Lord PANMURE for Lord JOHN RUSSELL, cannot be said to give the strength and stability to the Cabinet so urgently demanded by the nation. We certainly have been, and are, anything but partizans of Lord JOHN RUSSELL. He is too cold and sneering an aristocrat to conciliate the attachment of the people at large, and of the journalists who advocate their cause. Ever ready to enlist their aid by eulogiums on democracy when in Opposition, and by most liberal exordiums to his speeches when in office, he has almost uni formly affronted those whose co-operation had raised him to power, by the niggardliness of his practical offers. Few of the popular measures of late years have not feund in him an antagonist till resistance was useless ; and when he seemed to accept the popular wish, he was always a hearty supporter of some provoking or insulting limitation in favour of aristocratic exclusiveness, and in opposition to the people's rights. The principle which he avowed a year after its passing to have been that which guided his Reform Bill * machinations is the ' one which appears to have impregnated all his public acts. We refer to his declaration when the act was found to work more for the aristocracy than for the many—that he had always intended to give the predominance to the landed aristocracy. We hold such an intention to be high treason against sound liberal principles. His duty was to give the citizens of the country their rights impartially, and if, that being done, the aristocracy, with all their advantages of posi tion, wealth, and influence, could hold their own, by all means to let them do so. We have even a grave quarrel with Lord JOHN for his declaration that he did not wish to deprive Russia of any of its (stolen) territories—a principle as mortifying to those who wish him political distinction as his celebrated finality dogma. We deliberately hold that every man of the slightest pretensions to statesmanship ought to wish Russia to be deprived of all h er South, and ' and Circ ass i a. conquests in the North, West, and Pre-eminently of Poland, Bessarabia, recaxt ferociou s attacekr' sYmpathisa with some We cannot, h owev Upon the Noble Lord. endeavours ®f his col leagues and the press to hunt present case issued in convincing us that in th e i , ilinid own have in all that is substantial, he is farly vixdicat e , and that he ha s failed, if at all, o nly in th e tech nicalities of his resignation. Ha admitted an e rror of etiquette o n that ecore ; and as the Duke of NEWCASTLE waA praised for his confessions, ws do not see why Lord JOHN should not enjoy the same return. As to cowardice and desertion of his colleagues, we certainly replied in our own, minds, No, no ; that has not been the Noble Lord's fault hitherto ; tricky he is, but not a coward. Rather he has chivalrously defended colleagues even when known to be personally at variance with them. Had he felt their cause de fensible, we believe he would have faced without blenching a majority of three to one. Perhaps the best test of his treatment of the Cabinet is—What would have been the result had Lord JOHN'S proposition to substitute PAL MERSTON for NEwCA STLE been adopted ? No one can doubt that it would have saved the Ministry. The public would have regarded it as an indica tion of earnestness, and either Mr. ROEBUCK would never have brought forward his motion, or, if he had, the House and the public would have demanded a fair trial for Lord PALMERSTON, and refused to hold an inquest upon the past while the present was a guarantee for-the future. The true history of the case, looking at broad features and discarding all the peddling incidents, is, that while Lord JOHN, as is his wont, in pub . )Ic, always said the most generous things he could, indeed we believe more generous than true, of his Premier, the War had not long became an anxious and distressing matter before he and the Peelites, at least the Premier, the Duke of NEW CASTLE, and Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT, were at practi cal and growing variance. The Whig section of the Cabinet were more in earnest in the War than the other party, while it had no means of giving effect to that earnestness. This leaked out pretty plainly in the letters and con versations from the middle of November onwards; and we fully believe Lord Jollies statement that I he had no reason to think his proposals for recon structing the War Department would have re ceived fair consideration. He saw a determina tion to resist all change on the ground of personal consideration for the Duke of NEWCASTLE, and knowing the almost im possibility of overcoming such feelings is a man like Lord ABERDEEN, he tacitly made up his mind not to moot the question further, nor to hazard the harmony of the Cabinet by repeated interpo sitions. What Parliamentary or other claim the Peelites had to such a monopoly of Cabinet power it is difficult to see. Lord JOHN'S defence, or further explanation, on Monday night, more than corroborates this gene ral view of the case. He gave it as his opinion that the Earl of ABERDEEN was the chief cause of the Duke of NEWCASTLE'S incompetency, and that with a different Premier, the Duke would have succeeded. " Had the Prime Minister been a man whose pursuits and disposition would lead him to hasten the necessary preparations for war, the Duke of Newcastle would have been found perfectly com petent for the department he held !" Again, when Mr. LAYARD pointed out the danger from an in crease of Russian strength by land in the Crimea, he observed " that was a very important question, but Icannot say that it met with that sufficient atten tion from Lord Aberdeen which I could have hoped." Thom are Lord Joule's words, and when we bear in mind the proper reluctance of both sides to bring Cabinet consultations and differences before the public, we must think they furnish complete proof that the popular opinion of Lord ABERDEEN was known by Lord JOHN to be the correct one ; and that the result is, that our army in the Crimea has bean almost sacrificed to Lord ABERDEEN'S want of interest in the War, and his determination to sustain Peclits predominance in the Cabinet. He proposed Lord PALURSTON, in fact, to save Lord ABILILDREIT certain that the only possible means •of rectifying past mischief was either an efficient War Minister, or a War 311 i st ar like Lord PALMERSTON, who Would be a substitute for the Premier's inefficiency. These general considerations pressed painfully on the mind of Lord JoEN RUSSELL, while, on the other hand, he naturally shrank from upsetting a Government in time of war if it could be avoided. Hence his seeming, indeed his real, vacillation. But how, in such a state of mind, he could have been Leader .of the House of Commons, in resist ing Mr. ROEBUCK'S motion, wo cannot see. He was compelled to resign. He had to choose be tween the claims of a Cabinet, and the claims of Truth. He preferred those of Truth. A.RRITAL OF THE TYNE. SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY MORNING. The Royal Mail Company's new steam-ship Tyne arrived at this port this morning. THE SUN, LONDON WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 7, 185 5. HAYMARKET THEATRE. Mr. Bucketene has announced the speedy withdrawal of the favourite pantomime of Little 80-peep, in conse quence of sone extraordinary novelties to be produced on the 26th instant. Miss Cushman's engagement will, from the same cause, terminate in a fortnight. On Saturday this great actress will appear, by special desire, in her character of Meg Alerrilees. Romeo and Juliet has been greatly attractive, with Miss Cashman as Romeo, and the debutante, Miss Swanborough, as Juliet. This young lady, it is said, will become a permanent member of this popular theatre. The last morning per formance of the pantomime takes place on Saturday next. A. new comedy by Stirling Coyne, and a new farce by Oxenford, are in rehearsal. These, with the novelty alluded to, make up Mr. Buckstone's book till Easter, when Planche appears with his annual enter tainment, always so safe and so attractive at the Hay market. COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen and Prince Alberti, attended by the Mar chione,s of Ely, Lieutenant-Colonel the Hon. C. B. Phipps, Major-General the Hon. Charles Grey, Lord Alfred Paget, Captain the Hon. D. de Ros, and the Master of the Household, left Windsor Castle at twenty minutes before twelve o'clock yesterday, travelled to town by a special train on the Great Western Railway, and arrived at twenty minutes before one o'clock at Bnckingham Palace, where her Majesty was received by the Duke of Wellington. Shortly after the Queen's arrival her Majesty gave audience to Viscount Palmerston. Later in the after noon the noble Viscount had a second audience of the Queen. Her Majesty and Prince Albert left Buckingham Palace at half-past six o'clock, attended by the Mar chioness of Ely, Lieut.-Colonel, the Hon. C. B. Phipps, Major-General the Hon. C. Grey, the Master of the Household, and the Equerries in Waiting. The Queen and tie Prince were conducted to their carriage by Earl Spencer and Lord Ernest Bruce. The Royal party proceeded to the terminus of the Great Western Railway at Paddington, and returned to Windsor by a special train. The Princess Mary of Cambridge visited the Duchess of Gloucester yesterday, at her residence, Gloucester House, Piccadilly. The Judicial Committee of the Privy C , )uncil sat yes terlay, and concluded the hearing of an Appeal from B,ugal, "Baboo Bhugwan Doss v. Lacktnieeath Rao lid.leea,” Their Lordships also commenced the hearing of an Appeal from Bengal, " Dwarkadoas v. Jaakee doss." General Cannon, in the service of his Highness the Sultan, has arrived at Morley's Hotel, from the Crimea. The screw-ship Le Fleurus, 650-horse power, has loft Toulon for Algiers to embark troops for the Crimea. The ,French commander-in-chief of the , Piraeus an nounces the arrival of La Reins Hortense (the Emperor's screw-yacht) and her consort Le Sumroo with huts for the troops, on the 29th. They would arrive at Con stantinople about the lit of February. The French ships Cameleon, from the Piraeus, and the Gorgon, from Constantinople, arrived at Toulon on the nights of The 3d and 4th of January. The French frigate La Reins Blanche arrived at Toulon, Feb. 4, from Brest. We learn by telegraph that the British screw two decker, St. Jean d'Acre, 101 , Captain the Hon. H. Keppel, with 600 troops from Queeiistown, had arrived at Constantinople en route to the Crimea. The Amateur Musical Society re -commenced its per formances on Monday evening, at the Hanover-squar e rooms. The orchestra, notwithstanding the absence of several of its former members in the Crimea, does not appear t o b e numerically weaker than b e f ore. Th e play. log at all events is quite as good, and is well entitled to commendation. LATEST NEWS. THE SIEGE OF SEBASTOPOL. WARSAW, FEB. 5. Intelligence from Sebastopol of the 29th Jan. has been received here. Nothing importait had occurred. CONSTANTINOPLE, JAN. 28. The Sultan intens raising a national loan, by voluntary subleriptims in Turkey. BRUSSELS, FEB. 5. M. Usedom, who is again charged with a spe cial mission to the Court of St. James's, has met General Wedel, but has not been able to proceed to London on account of indisposition. The following deTatches were received in Paris yesterday : Eight Austrian merchant ships arrived at Galatz. They were received by the Russians with a fire of musketry. The pilot of the brig Cleedenoven was killed. This is authentic. Russian troops are ravaging the Dobrudscha under the eyes of General Coronini. MARSEILLES, S TH. It is positively stated that, as soon as the for tifications of Eupatoria are completed, Omer Pasha will march on Sebastopol, and then, doubtless, a grand battle will be fought. The Russians have fall©n back on the side of Simpheropol. VIENNA, 6TH. The telegraph via Czernowitz brings accounts from Odessa to the Ist. At that date the thaw had commenced. There was no ice in the port, where 10 Austrian vessels were at anchor ; three of them have since left with their cargoes. The last accounts received at Odessa from Sebastopol announce that it rained during the day, and froze again at night. The Grand Dukes Nicholas and Michael were expected. A letter from Vienna, in the Breslau Gazette, says :--" The hope of recommencing the con ference for peace on the 6th now seems aban doned, and a new date namely, the 15th, is spoken of in diplomatic circles. It is very evi dent that Austria paid but little attention to the pacific asrarances of Prince Gortschakoff, since the cabinet of Vienna sent off to Paris and Lon don, the day after the declarations made by the Russian envoy, a note calling on the English and French Cabinets to complete' the treaty of Dec. 2, by coming to an arrangement on the military mea sures which were to be taken." Advices from the Crimea via Constantinople and Marseilles confirm the Russian despatch pub lished yesterday, and show that our guns are still silent before Sebastopol. From the fact that Sir George Brown had left Malta for the camp, it was inferred that active measures were in prospect. The Third French Division had taken its place in the English trenches. A Sardinian general arrived at Constantinople on the 28th, to prepare for the reception of the Piedmontese army, which will be ready to embark by the time the English trans ports in which the troops are to be conveyed shall have arrived. The Press of Vienna stated some time ago that Prince Stirbey was forming a corps of 10,000 men to reinforce the Turkish army. But a letter from Bucharest of the 25th ult. in the Constitu tiennel asserts that, though Omer Paella four months back demanded such a reinforcement, nothing has been yet done towards forming it. The Hamburg _Yews contains a letter from Copenhagen of the 2d, which says :—" The Folksthing adopted this day, notwithstanding the opposition of the Minister of Public Worship, the proposition of the finance committee, tend ing to diminish the salaries fixed for the bishops by the preceding Minister, M. Oested." FRANCE. PARIS, Tuesday.—A commission was appointed to-day on the Law of Recruitment and of Military Replacements which was lately voted. The Moniteur contains a decree founded on a report from the Minister of Agriculture, Commerce, and Public Works, promoting Dr. Guerard, physi cian at the Hotel-Dieu, to the rank of officer in the Legion of Honour, and appointing thirty-three other medical men in different places in the depart ments to the rank of chevalier in the same order, for the eminent services rendered by thorn during the late visitation of the cholera in France.

Gen. Kryloff, commander of the 3d division of grenadiers, has been summoned here. Gen. de Gersdoff, commander of the divirion of cuirassiers of his Majesty's guard, has left for Lucknow, in Poland, on the right bank of tfie Vistula. The cavalry of the guard has taken up its winter, quarters in that district, not far from Siedler. The Russian newspapers continue to represent the war as a religious and national one ; and they are now seizing songs of triumph with respect to the severity of the winter, which they call the auxiliary of God himself.' The storms of last autumn were also represented as the auxiliaries of Russia ; and the tempest of the 14th November which destroyed a number of vessels of the Allies is this very day celebrated with enthu siasm in the Invalide." PRUSSIA. - - - BERLIN, Feb. 4.—M. de Niebuhr, privy secre tary to the King, and one of the most devoted coryphcei of the dominant party, proceeded yester day to Paris, on a special mission, and with special instructions from his Sovereign. The ostensible objects are matters connected with arts and litera ture, for which purpose M. de Niebuhr is certainly well adapted—no man more so—especially as he is armed with letters of introduction frora the well known and illustrious Humboldt. But if rumour he well founded, arts and literature merely cover political purposes, in the direction desired to be given to them by the party of which M. de Nie buhr may be regarded as one of the most active mainsprings. ITALY. - - ROME, Jan. 31.—Count Pralormo, being opposed to the law for the suppression of convents, has re signed his office of plenipotentiary. The Sardinian Government refused to accept of hie resignation, and sent for him to Turin, where, however, he in sisted upon giving up his ministry, and was accord ingly furnished with letters of recal, which he will present to his Holiness forthwith, having returned to Rome for that purpose last week. In the pre sent state of diplomatic relations between the two courts, his place will of course not be supplied by another minister of the same rank, but the Cheva lier Migliorati, hitherto secretary of the embassy, will remain as charge d'affaires. The Pope, in the course of his address at the last consistory, spoke as follows of Piedmont :—" What a painful thing to say ! at the moment at which we speak, venerable brethren, a law is proposed in the Sardinian States which has for its object to destroy regular ecclesiastical institutions, and which tramples under foot and effaces, as far as possible, the rights of the Church. But we reserve to our selves to treat this grave subject as it merits, and to act as the case may seem to require." SPAIN . The Madrid journals of the Ist have arrived. In the Cortes, the Minister of Grace and Justice announced, in answer to a question, that the news paper the Catolico should be prosecuted for having , published the Pope's bull on the Immaculate Con ception before it had received the sanction of the Government. The discussion on the motion of M. Rios Rosas, relative to the question of national sovereignty in the constitution, was then resumed. The motion of M. Rios Rosas was then put to the vote and rejected by 214 votes to 18. It has been discovered, says the Espana, that the revolutionary movement which was to have taken place at Madrid on the 21st, had ramifications at Valencia, Alicante, Murcia, and other places. The Cologne Gazette contains a letter of the 2d which says :—" The Corriere Italiano has an nounced that Holland has concluded a treaty of alliance, offensive and defensive, with England and France. It is, in fact, certain, that at the grand diplomatic soiree given by Baron de Bour queney the evening before last, Barou de Heeckeren, the Dutch Ambassador at Vienna, was paid the most particular attention to by the French Ambassador.. Some persons go the length of saying that Baron de Heeckeren has confirmed the news given by the Corriere Italiano." A letter from Dresden, in the Cologne Gazelle, gives an analysis of a despatch of the Saxon Go vernment of the 19th ult. It was addressed, to the Saxon Minister at Vienna, but has been commu nicated to the other German Cabinets. It may be considered, the letter says, as a reply to the Aus trian confidential note of the 14th ult., and declares that Saxony will submit unreservedly to whatever may be the decision of the majority of the Diet. THE PACIFIC. SOUTHAMPTON, Tuesday, Feb. 6.—By the Royal Mail steam-ship Solent we have received our usual files of journals and correspondence from the Pacific ports via Panama. From Valparaiso our accounts are to the 15th, and Callao the 24th of December. The Pacific Steam Navigation Company's steam ship Lima arrived at Panama on the 4th ult. with the semi-monthly mail from the south-west coast, 33 passengers, and $380,000 in specie, principally silver for England. Advices from Chili state that throughout the re public the greatest quiet prevailed in political mat ters. The works of the Santiago Railroad were progressing. In the Conception and Coquimbo lines no progress had been made. The state of the Coquimbo mines was not so flattering as hitherto, the number not yielding being considerable. Busi ness, on the average, had been more brisk, and many vessels with well-selected cargoes had arrived. _ . From Peru we learn that Cassilla was still within a short distance of Lima, but his movements were unknown, nor were the Government aware by which of the many roads he intended marching on the capital. The Ileraldo of tke 25th of December, says :- " The Government has a force of 1,000 cavalry, well armed and mounted, and 5,000 infantry, besides 18 guns in good order. Castilla is said to have almost an equal number of men, but they are not so well equipped. By the last accounts he was concentrating leis forces at Cienaquilla, a point six or seven leagues distant from Lima." The same journal states, that on the morning of the 25th of December President Echenique left Lima to inspect his army, by whom he was received with great enthusiasm. Private accounts state that the troops showed no enthusiasm at all, and that Echenique's downfall was daily expected. The whole of the south was in the hands of the Revolu tionists, and the feeling of the majority of the people with them. A decree of Echenique, doing a way with some of the restrictions on commerce, had been published. THE WEST INDIA MAIL. SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY MORNING. The Royal Mail Company's steam-ship Solent, Capt. J ellicoe, has arrived here with dates from Vera Cruz, Jan. 4' • Havannah, 10th ; Jamaica, 11th ; Barbadoes, 11th ; Trinidad, 9th ; St. Thomas's, 17th. The Soloist brings 33 passengers, 910,000 dols. in specie, and a mixed cargo, and some specimens from Mexico for the Exhibition at Paris. During her homeward voyage she has experienced some ♦ery heavy weather. The Plata arrived out at St. Thomas's on the 17th ult. At St. Lucia the cholera had nearly disappeared. Planters were about commencing the crop, but the wet weather which was prevailing was very unfa vourable to the work. Great anxiety was exhi bited for news from the seat of war. At British Guiana the weather was fine, and suited admirably both the growing cane and the manufacture of sugar. The crop was reported as heavy. Great scarcity of labour existed, and mer chants complained of dull times. Imports, how ever,, were large, and prices of every article of commerce ruled high. At • Granada business was dull and money in demand. The necessaries of life were very dear, and luxuyies unsaleable. The weather was showery, and along the coasts the wind had been high. Some slight improvement had taken place in the health of the island, but many persons were - still suffering from fever. Preparations were being made for commencing the forthcoming sugar crop, but prospects of the worst harvest ever experienced in the island presented themselves. Frcm Jamaica there is no news of importance. MANTEUFFEL'S CIRCULAR TO TBE GERMAN COURTS. We And in the Post Ampt Gazette the following circular-despatch addressed by Prussia to her agents at the German Courts, dated Berlin, 17th Jan. : "The note addressed to Count Arnim on the sth instant, and which was communicated to you on the 6th, has informed your Excellency of the points of ♦iew which serve as a rule for our attitude, in presence of the negotiations opened between the Imperial (Russian) Ambassador and the representa tives of England, France, and Austria. These ne gotiations have in the interval already led to a happy result, for the said representatives are agreed in admitting that their particular interpretation of the basis, which is to serve as the foundation of pacific negotiations, does not differ in such a man ner as to form an obstacle to the opening of the said negotiations. The cabinet of Vienna has,in sense quence ordered its representatives at Paris and London to demand from those courts instructions and full powers for their representatives at Vienna for the purpose of opening pacific deliberations, and has at the same time de clared itself ready to carry out the stipulations contained in Art. 5 of the convention of Dec. 2, in order to con solidate more directly the ulterior military measures with France and England in the event of the projected con-. ferencen not leading to any result. Whatever may be the satisfaction with which we hail the preliminary under standing which has taken place in the views of the four Powers, we are not the less compelled not to renounce the attitude• which we bays hitherto maintained, and the reserves connected therewith. If the efforts to corns to an understanding should fail, we shall' only con sider ourselves bound, as your Excellency must have seen by our instruction to Count Arnim, dated the sth instant, to fulfil the obligations imposed on us by the convention of April 20 and by the additional article of November 18, if we are iv a state to exer cise on the course of the negotiations, that influence which we think we have a right to claim on account of our previous participation in the Conferences of Vienna, and in virtue of our European position. With a consci ousness of the interests a id the duties which closely unite us to our German confederates, we cannot interpret dif ferently the obligation which they have imposed on themselves in acceding to the Prusso-Austrian stipulations, and, we can only recommend the German Cabinets allied to us to demand from .the Diet the accomplishment of obligations, - which, supported on what the belligerent Powers exact on the one hand, and accord on the othei, may express the full conviction of their right and their inalienable participation. Your Excellency will explain yourself in this sense to the Governments to which you have the honour of being accredited, and you will at the same time express the hope of seeing our point of view, which is commanded by a common interest, not only admitted, but executed de facto, on the part of our confederates. Whatever your Excel lency may have to inform us of on this subject will be of the most lively interest to us.—l am, Bsc., MANTEUFFEL." ROTTERDAM.—The weekly reviews from the Amster dam and Rotterdam produce markets state that business continued to be inactive, th e severity of the weather checking all op e r a ti on s d ma gnitude. &LOOTING AT TEE EMPEROR OF RUSSlA.—Private W. Gibson and Private W. Gallabar, of the 99th Regiment, were tried by district court-martial at Chatham for the offence of making away with their ammunition in shoot ing at the Emperor of Russia, whom they had drawn on the barrack table with chalk. A most severe, and, as we think, unnecessary, sentence has been passed upon them—that of Gibson to 52 days with hard labour, and Gallahar to 162 days with hard labour in the military prison, Fort Clarence. LETTERS FROM THE CRIMEA On the night of the 20th the enemy kept up a sharp fire on the French lines, and this morning I hear that the French have made an attack upon a small position held by the enemy, which they have taken and retain. Some few days since the enemy were observed from Gordon's battery, about 6,000 in number, without cavalry or artillery, but with waggons laden and a rear-guard. They were marching from below Fort Saverneir, in the direc tion of the Post-house. About four p.na. yester day, nearly 2,000 Russians ware seen marching into Sebastopol, and about the same number going out. It was probably one party relieving the other. 330 sick were taken clown from the camp the day before yesterday, and put on board ship. They were taken down in.artillery waggons, and by the French ambulances. Each Frenchman receives, on arrival, a glass of rum, anal they bring back for the English two bags of biscuit on each of their mules. The French have twice our strength nu merically, and yet they can take down the greater part of our sick , and bring us back biscuit. The troops now receive wood front Bourghas, where it is brought by direction of Omer Pacha from the interior. The snow is gradually disappearing. It has just been reported that the enemy has made a show of cavalry in the Inkerman this after noon. The whole army has now plenty of warm clothing. . _ The - agents of the Crimean Army Fund had an interview with the Quartermaster-General yester day. No part of their stores has yet arrived. Yesterday a large convoy, apparently of provi sions, entered Sebastopol by the north side of the harbour in mid-day. Two new batteries were also unmasked yesterday, containing four guns, to all appearance set up to bear on the Woronzoff road and No. 1 battery on our left attack. These bat teries are between the garden' and the redan. The weather still continues very mild, the snow has nearly disappeared. Our hutting goes en very slowly. There are not yet enough to cover the sick. The Trent came in late last night. She brought 267 mules, and harness complete, with 86 mule teers, gun platforms, carpenters' tools, and 400 boxes of oranges. The mules are for the ambulance corps principally. H.M.S. Gorgon, with 200 of the Rifles, has also arrived. The Cleopatra and Brandon have sailed with sick to Scutari, and the Negotiator, transport, is gone to Bourghas for wood: Sir George Brown is expected to arrive in a day or two. The roads and the camp are in a fearful state. The breaking up of the recent frost, and the melting of the snow has made the reads " knee deep." The enemy fired a great deal last night, but nothing more than usual occurred. 600 of the enemy's cavalry have moved front near the Flag staff, which is on the north of the Tchernaya, down into the Inkerman. The Imperatrice, with drafts for the Ist, 4th, 7th, 20th, 23d, 28tb, 44th, 46th, 776, 95th, Ist Battalion Rifles, and two medical officers ; in all 15 officers, and nearly 900 men have arrived. CAMP BEFORE SEBASTOPOL, Jan. 23.—The following has been issued : " GENERAL ORDER. " Head-Quarters before Sebastopol, Jan. 18, 1855. " At a general court-martial held at camp before Sebastopol, on the 12th January, 1855, in pursuance of an order of Field-Marshal Lord Raglan, G.C.8., com manding the forces, dated the 9th of January, 1855 ; Lieutenant A.H.H. Mercer, 89th Regiment, was tried upon the following charges -- Ist: For neglect of duty, is having, on the 29th day of December, 1854, left a detachment of his regi ment, of which he was sent in command, for the pur pose of bringing up stores, and for not having returned to-his regiment until about noon on the 31st December, 1854. "`2d. For having, on the afternoon of the 29th day of December, 1855, and whilst absent from the detach ment of which he had been sent in command, been found drunk at or near Balaklava.' "Of which charges the Court found the prisoner with regard to the Ist guilty, under extenuating circum stances ; and, with regard to the 2d, not guilty. " SENTENCE. "The Court having found the prisoner guilty of the Ist charge preferred against him, but under extenuating circumstances, and having acquitted him of the 2d charge, do now adjudge him, Lieutenant A. H. H. Mercer, 89th Regiment, to be reprimanded. (Signed) " W. G. ROMAINE, Officiating Deputy-Judge-Advocate. "C. W. RIDLEY, Colonel and Major, Grenadier Guards, President. "Approved and confirmed, - (Signed) " RAGLAN% "16th January, 18'15. " REMARKS. "Lieutenant Mercer has been acquitted of the 2d charge preferred against him, and has very properly been found guilty of the Ist charge, namely, of neglect of duty,' but, in the opinion of the Court, the offence was committed under circumstances which diminished the criminality of it. " From the character which Lieut. • Mercer has re ceived from his superiors for correctness in the perform ance of his duties, the Comatander of the Forces is willing to believe that Lieut. Mercer woild not have been guilty of this neglect of duty had he been in the enjoyment of his usual health, and the lenient sentence of the Court is on that ground approved and confirmed. " The most injurious effects' have been already found to ensue from officers sent on duty to Balaklava, quitting the men of whom they are sent in charge, and for their own private affairs delaying their return to camp. " Lord Raglan trusts that Lieutenant Mercer will not again be guilty of an offence which is not only in di rect disobedience of an order recently published to the army, but it in the highest degree detrimental to the welfare and discipline of the soldier. " Lieutenant Mercer is hereby reprimanded, and ordered to be released from arrest, and to return to his duty. (Signed) " RAGLAN." The undermentioned officers have joined the Medical Staff, dated Jan. 7 :- Ist Class Staff Surgeon Beatson. 2d Class Staff Surgeon Waishe. Acting Assistant Surgeon Weir, Acting Assistant Surgodi ShylOck. Acting Assistant Surgeon Madden. Acting Assistant Surgeon Webb. Acting Assistant Surgeon Dickson. Acting Assistant Surgeon Jardin.

Deedes, Ist Battalion Rifle Brigade, 18th January to 10th February. To go on board ship at Ba,aklava. THE CAPE -- SOUTHAMPTON, Tuesday. The General Screw Company's steam-ship Natal, Capt. Boxer, arrived from the Cape this morning. Her news ha-i been anti cipated by the arrival of the Calcutta steam-ship from Australia. The Natal bad a full cargo, chiefly of wool and copper ore, the latter from the newly-discovered mines at the Cape. The quantity of copper on board was about 200 tons. THE LATE HORRIBLE MURDER AT CHATHAM.—The investigation into the circumstances connected with the diabolical murder of Mrs. Catherine Bacon was resumed yesterday morning at ten o'clock, by Mr. Thomas Hill, coroner for the district, at the York Tavern. The jury having deliberated with closed doors for some time, re turned a verdict of " Wilful murder against Elizabeth Laws." BILLS OF EXCHANGE AND PROMISSORY NOTES.—A bill, brought in by Messrs. Keating and Mullings, pro poses to facilitate the remedies on bills of exchange and promissory notes . by the prevention of frivolous or ficti tious defences to actions thereon.. It provides that if the defendant do not obtain the leave of the Court or a judge to appear, the plaintiff esay sign judgment. This leave to appear may be given on the defendant's dis closing a defence to the action of affidavits satisfactory to the Court, or if reasonable ground be laid. The pro visions of the Common Law Procedure Acts of 1852 are incorporated with this act, which is confined to Eng land. THE AUSTRALIAN MAILS.—The Royal mail c!ipper ship Boomerang, Captain Brown, belonging to Messrs. James Baines and Company's " Black Ball" line of Australian packets, left the Mersey yesterday, at 12.35 p•• m for Melbourne, with 4 97 Passengers and a full car go, consisting of 1,200 tons of general !merchandise on board. She also carries out the February European mails, which are unusually heavy, comprising 327 bags of letters and newspapers, which her owners engage under a penalty to deliver in 65 days. Although only a month in port after completing her last voyage the Boomerang had, during that period, been fitted up in the most comfortable manner, and every improve ment possible for the passengers' convenience introduced. She was towed to sea by two powerful steamers, Which would, however, only be able to take her a short die tance, as with a fair wind from N.E. reported blowing in the Channel she will soon leave thorn behind. On the last trip the Boomerang made the line in 16 days, and as she starts in fine sailing trim, and with a capital wind, there is every reason to hope she will realise the anticipation formed of her. The Blanche Moore, Capt. Evans, built by Mr. Donald M`Kay, of Boston, will succeed the Boomerang, to be followed on the sth of April by the celebrated Marco Polo, lately chartered to carry the April mails from England to Melbourne. EMBEZZLEMENT BY A LIVERPOOL COMMISSION AGENT. —At the Liverpool Police-court, yesterday, before Mr. J. S. Mansfield, Robert Morri•4, commission agent, was brought up upon a remand, to hear further evidence in reference to some moneys alleged to have been embezzled by hies, .the property of Messrs. Potts, vinegar mer chants, Southwark, London—but, no one appearing to press the charge against him,_ he was at once discharged. SUICIDE—LLAUGHA.RNE, Feb. s.—The greatest gloom prevailed here lat 4 evening, in consequence of a lady of great respectability, Mrs. Frank Stackpole, poisoning herself after returning home-from church. Mr. and Mrs. Stackpole only returned home from Port Natal last summer, It is said that she took some strong poison which she used to keep to kill snakes.. PRUSSIA AND TIIE WESTERN POO • • hall al'. BERLIN, Feb. 4.—M. Drouyn. de Lags o r dressed another despatch to the Prussian C 4° .j . de ment through the French Ambassador, •710ri, Moustier. This document is dated 29th Jan is The important declaration of this despatc h t a il be found in the first line, where it is positivell:B_,, that if Prussia insists upon having France is ready to sign it immediately, pro ss 1 10 only that it conveys the same obligations treaty of 2d December.
