We have the satisfaction to state, that imme diately upon the resignation of the late Ministers, her Majesty sent for Lord John Russell, who, after having had an interview of an hour's duration with Sir Robert Peel yesterday, at Whitehall, imme diately repaired to Osborne House. His Lordship had an audience of her Majesty, and returned to town last evening with full authority to form an Administration. The leading members of the former Whig Cabinet have already communicated with his Lordship, who is actively engaged in the formation of his Cabinet. It is probable that an address from his Lordship to his constituents of the City of London, with a declaration of the principles which are to guide his policy on the corn•laws, will ap pear forthwith. The excitement and speculation which these important events created throughout the whole of the metropolis yesterday, may be easily conjectured. The rumour of a speedy, if not an immediate dissolu tion of Parliament,was very prevalent at all the West-end club-houses, and the conference which took place between Lord John Russell and Sir Robert Peel revived, with more than its original force, the report which we gave a week ago, that a coalition Ministry, with the two Whig and Tory chiefs at the head, would be formed. Indeed, it is currently reported in the City that it is the inten tion of the Liberal party, in case of a dissolution of Parliament, to solicit Sir R. Peel to stand as a candidate for the City of London, by the side of the Noble Lord, the present Member for the City, upon the broad prin ciples of free-trade and repeal of the corn-laws. In this general dislocation of parti. a, it is almost impossible to predict the future course of events. It is, however, more than probable that the Tories, now that the disruption of their Cabinet has taken place, will rally round some of their leaders, and make the most strenuous defence of the protection laws. The history of the world furnishes no example of a greedy, selfish body of monopolists quietly relinquishing the advantages which they have gradually and silently usurped. But the blow is struck: the corn-laws and the protection-laws are doomed, and must inevitably be placed upon a free and equal footing bearing impartially upon all classes of the community alike. It is impossible to overrate the importance of the present crisis. Upon the firmness of the people rests the future happiness and prosperity of unborn millions. It will depend upon the number of personal adherents of Sir Robert Peel who may follow his ex ample in the House of Commons, and join the ranks of the Whip, whether Lord John Russell will be able to assume such an attitude in the Lower House as shall compel the House of Lords to give way, as they at length reluctantly did in the case of the Reform Bill. The cry of " Corn," not " Curry," at an election, will shake the power and influence of these legislatorial Peers to the very foundation. No more will the alarm spread abroad that the Constitution is in danger avail them. Their efforts to curry favour with their detestable "curry," and their wretched expedients to avert the blow which is now falling upon their house, will be as abortive as they are contemptible. A long vista of happier days for the English labourer is opened to our view. All that remains to be done by the people is to persevere in their present course, and one of the greatest monopolies which ever afflicted a country will be extin guished for ever.

FROM TIIE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. CHRONICLE.—We cannot satisfy the just impa tience of our readers by any positive intelligence re specting the steps to be taken in consequence of the re signation of Sir Robert Peel. Lord John Russell, as we have stated, is not returned from Osborne House, and the public must for the present be content with knowing that the task of extricating us from our difficulties is confided to him. For we must not disguise from our selves that the present is a crisis of great difficulty, not to say even of national peril. A strong Government is all of a sudden dissolved, because the Minister, yielding to a strong sense of public necessity, has proposed a measure of relief which the representative of the aristo cracy will not permit to take effect. If, after the matter has been brought to such a point, the people were to ac quiesce in the rejection of their just demands, all hope of relief would have to be abandoned, and our interests would be sacrificed to an oppressive oligarchy. We must carry the repeal of the corn laws now or never. That it will be carried, in spite of all hostile influences, we have not a moment's doubt. There is that spirit in the people, that we feel persuaded that they will not submit to an eternal corn-law, and will not draw back from a contest in which both Sir R. Peel and Lord J. Russell have_swited to lead them. But it is not merely necessary that the repeal of the corn-laws should be carried. It must be carried at once, and without the excitement of a prolonged contest. We will not enter into the details of a contest with the House of Lords —the necessity of probably more than one change of Ministry—of possibly' more than one dissolution of Par liament, amid the greatest national excitement—of an actual swamping of the House of Lords—of a repeti tion of that ignominious coercion that carried the Reform Bill, or that more ignominious submission by means pf which Catholic Emancipation was passed. If we mean to retain a House of .Lords as part of dur Constitution, we must avoid permitting its members to place themselves in an attitude of resistance to the public will and the public good, in the cause of the most sordid self-in terest. Now of this'evil we run the greatest risk. If the ground which the Duke of Wellington has taken be that of opposing the repeal of the corn-laws, we may anticipate the most obstinate struggle on the part of un wise Peers, battling for their personal interests under the sanction of his great name, and the guidance of his little prudence. But we trust that such is not the ground on which his Grace has broken up Sir Robert Peel's Government. We would rather believe that he objected not to the repeal of the corn-laws as a matter of public necessity, but to the performance of that task by a Tory Government. Looking at the probabilities of the case, we still hope that it will eventually be found that he will not head an apposition to the measure, supported . by one of the great teolitical parties in the country, and adopted by the leaders of the other. We cannot believe that he will close his glorious career in a struggle so void alike of honour as of hope. But even if we escape the calamity of -being opposed by the Duke of Wellington, we must make up our minds to a sharp contest with the House of Lords. This is a point in which they fancy their pride and their pockets both so interested, ,that the majority of them will be inclined to resist under any leader: and leaders`we may be sure they will find in the abundant resources of ducal folly. We must not per mit ourselvs to doubt that the great majority of that House is inclined to resist free trade, and will do so as far as they dare. But though we should beat them in the contest, it is a contest which, in the interests of public order, it is most essential that we should avoid The great measure of justice must be carried before the opposition shall have had time to excite the public in dignation, and stir up other and more formidable ques tions than the corn-law. Now that the people ,of both parties have entered upon the struggle, the work must be done, and done out of hand. And the only way of attaining this result is by letting the House of Lords see at once that none other is possible ;—that there is such an union, such a determination on our part as will render it impossible to uphold any Government except one that will in this matter do the work of the people. This can only be done by the union of all, who, what ever may be their: party connexions, whatever their politics on other points, are determined on the repeal of the corn-laws. The members of the late Government are as much interested in the success of such a measure as those, whoever they may be, who shall take office for the purpose of carrying it. They have not got rid of their heavy responsibility with their places. They cannot have pro claimed to the world, by the very act of their resignation, their deep conviction of the urgent necessity of a policy which must have been most distasteful to them, without being prepared to prove the sincerity of their conviction by the most loyal exertions to ensure its success. Last week we called on all Liberals to put: aside all party considerations,' in order to enable Sir Robert Peel to bring this momehtous question to a satisfactory and speedy settlement. Circumstances are only so far changed that we may now possibly have to require the aid which we then proffered. The co-operation of ra tional and honest men, for this purpose, is still as necessary, and still, we believe, as confidently to be counted on. Sir Robert Peel, in the great step which he has taken, has, after all, but acted on a wide-spread feeling among that large and powerful section of the Conservative party which be more especially represents. Be his faufteirepast time - what they may, his 'last act gives proof of a sincere regard for the public good. His example in this respect will surely act most strongly on the - great mass of those who trust in his guidance, and - 'sympathise with his general pur poses. If such fi'e not the case, it would undoubtedly be a grave question whether Lord J. Russell should attempt to form a Government at present. It would perhaps be necessary for us to pass through a preliminary process, and prove to the- monopolists the hopelessness of their resistance, by throwing on them the responsibility of carrying on that government which they will not allow others to conduct. Let the Duke call his brother dukes around him, and see what kind of practical talent for government he can get out of them. Let them try the arduous experiment of fishing out an ultra-Tory to lead the House of Commons in common grammatical English. Let them break down in the hopeless enterprise—give up power to those who can wield it—and acquiesce in the law which the intelligence of the country imposes on them. But this. prolongation of perilous strife—this damage to the aristocracy—this interruption of the real business of the .country—let us be spared, if possible. It will be possible, if some little sacrifice of party and personal feelingtan be generally made to a great object of general interest. Happily, the very crisis which imposes the necessity on us has loosened the bonds of party. On the Liberal side, the ancient distinctions of by-gone party names have long ceased to be realities; and, thanks to Sir Robert Peel, what has been called the Conservative party is now resolved into primitive chaos. HERALD.—We stated yesterday that the whole Cabinet had resigned. Such is the fact ; the whole of the Conservative Cabinet goes out together, and, we have no doubt. will adhere to the Conservative party. Whatever Sir Robert Peel's opinion upon the subject of the corn-lavosethe country may be well assured that he never did propose, and, in office or out of office, never will either propose or support any change in the corn - laws, unaccompanied by what he believes to be full compensation to the landed interest through all its gra dations. Whence that full compensation is to be obtained we are utterly-at a loss to conjecture, but it is no more than an act of justice to the late Premier, as we suppose we may call him now, to repeat it, that he never did propose, as the infamous falsrication of the Times asserted, an unqualified and total repeal of the corn-laws. Nor, as we firmly believe, will he ever propose or support any such measure. This is most important, because whatever difference has existed in the Cabinet has been merely a difference in degree and not in species, and therefore cannot extend to the Conservative party in either House of Parliament. Lord John Russell has been summoned by the Queen, and is ',lSvw in attendance upon her Majesty as her confidential adviser. And who is Lord John Russell ? A party to the Lichfield House compact—one who has within these last few days - pledged himself by a public document to concede all the most extravagant demands of the Anti- Corn-law League ; and, hear it you opponents of the Maynooth grant, one of the party most solemnly pledged to extinguish the Protestant, Church in Ireland, and to establish the Roman Catholic Church in that great divi sion of the United Kingdom. Let Conservatives think of this in tiro --'and they have but little time to think of it —for whether Parliament be dissolved or not, the work of ruin will probably commence the first week of bruary, • POST.--What may be the titotkcs of the ne* nits try seem a matter of. cousiderable (liiiitAtwn with the political public. A tliesoliatlon of Parliament was the first thieve that Sliggested itself to people's minds; as the present house of Commons could hardly be expected to furnish the Whigs with a working majority; but against this measure it is urged that the Most serioas iticons veniences to.the public inteteSt thltst liteessarny follow on a dissolution. The loctEing up, for so Many weeks, of the capital deposited by projected railway. companies is mentioned-as one point desareihg of careful considera tion; and another ia, that many railway Bills, that were not finished last session, must be brought forward novo in the new Parliament, instead of hieing taken up at the stage in which they were left at the peritid of prord gation in Afikust. This, it is argued; would not only. lei a cruel infliction of eipeiise tipoii the eedipanias §d sati ated, but a positive breach of faith with them on thepart of the Government and the house of Commons. Then there is the state of our relations with Ameiietts Imes gine Parliament dissolved when a hostile tne,s9ge from " his- Excellency" Mr. Polk should arrive. Whence are to come the sinews of war? In short, there is embarrassment on all hands Let the new Minister continue the present Parliament, and in all human probability - he finds himself iu a minority; let him dissolve it, and there is an equal probability that he will be unable to "carry on the Queen's Government." lint, as his friend Sidney Smith said, "Lord John Russell will undertake anything—the command of the Channel fleet, the building of St. Paul's, or the operation for the stone." .It -is not to be wondered at, therefore, that lie feels no hesitation in facing the perils of his present position. Iris so much the way of the world to forget old friends, especially when they chance to have no good things to give away, that people talk very little about the members of the late Cabinet. This may, perhaps, be owing in some'sort to the habit of Sir Robert Peel, who spoke oftenif himself and seldom of his colleagues; but still he had colleagues, and men of "note and mark" in many instances. Of these, we believe we may safely say that the Duke of Wellington strenuously and successfully opposed to the last the repeal of the corn laws. Of the Duke of Buccleuch we are assured the same may be predicted. Lord Stanley, we have reason to think, was firm in favour of protection to British industry ; in fact, we might go on to enumerate the majority of the Cabinet, for it was to a majority that Sir Robert Peel succumbed in his vain attempt to establish free trade in corn. No endeavour is made to account for this extraordinary proposal on his part, though it is rumoured that he was seized with panic at the run made upon the stock of bonded corn for the purpose of exportation. Whether the cause or the effect more prove the practical weakness of the Minister, we leave others to Judge. "We tell the tale as 'twas told to us." Some friends of the late Cabinet are still sanguine of its speedy restoration to office—of course without Sir Robert Peel at its head. What is to become of him does not clearly appear. A correspond ent, indeed, last night informed us that Sir Robert Peel will be immediately created a peer by the titles of Baron Trent, Viscount Drayton, and Earl of Tamwortb, and that in the House of Lords he will give his independent support to that measure, of the policy of which he has failed to convince his late colleagues." And here, for this occasion, closes our budget of Ministers past, pre sent, and to come. TIMES.—Sir Robert Peel has resigned, and Lord John Russell has been invited to form a new Adminis tration. Such is the sudden and strange event which has taken by surprise the whole political world ; and such the verification, if not the fulfilment, of the intelligence which yesterday week astonished our readers. At that time another conclusion of the controversies which had evidently long harassed the Cabinet was confidently and justly expected. Sir Robert Peel had then gained over to a total repeal of the corn-laws all his colleagues ex cept three or four, with whose co-operation, if report speaks true, he might very well have dispensed. He had just won the reluctant assent of the Duke of Welling ten, and his promise to propose the measure in the Lords. It had also been settled to summon Parliament early in January for this purpose. Our readers then possessed an exact and literal transcript of the Minis terial state and intentions. We had not even omitted to notice the " insignificant and doubtful" exceptions to the general unanimity. Unless, indeed, it had been possible to tell, not only what was in men's minds, but also what might possibly enter into them, we are con vinced that not even the Cabinet itself could have given a truer account of the state of affairs. Subsequently, however, to the date of our announcement, the Duke withdrew his assent, and joined the minority. The Premier then felt that it was not his place, or perhaps in his power, to carry the measure. On Saturday, accord ingly, Sir R. Peel iniormed the Queen of the difficulties in which he found himself, and tendered his resignation. Her Majesty, it is said, was pleased to express a great desire to retain his services, if it could possibly be so arranged. Sir Robert Peel could suggest no alternative, and the Queen summoned Lord John Russell to her councils. On Wednesday the whole Ministry resigned, and is now only holding office till Lord John Russell has selected a Government to supply its place. Did we consult our own taste, we would not say a word in vindication of our announcement, which has ceased to be a matter of any importance now that the result is known. What we said was then perfectly true, and is, moreover, fulfilled, in its most important feature—viz., the surrender of the corn-laws by Sir Robert Peel and an immense majority of the Cabinet. Of course no mortal man could foretel such a casualty as that the Duke of Wellington would change his mind. Had the sudden stroke of death or other calamity dis solved the Cabinet, that would not have vitiated the truth of the statement. In every intention and every declara tion regarding the future there are reserves which it is not necessary to express ; and admitting that the Duke may have changed his mind most conscientiously, yet it would have been an insult to specify that beforehand as a particularly probable contingency. We will add, how ever, that even as far as he is concerned, our original an nouncement is nearer to a literal completion than certain obstinate unbelievers imagine. The Duke, contrary to the rumours which were all we had to depend upon yesterday, will not risk the existence of the Lords by raising them against the measure, or lift his own voice against it. Though he will not propose it on Sir Robert Peel's initiation, he will, we have reason to believe, offer no obstinate resistance to it on Lord John Russell's. We may, therefore, leave the question of our veracity in the hands of the public with very little mis giving as to the issue. With the measure recommended in a speech from the Throne a few weeks hence, with a Ministry then perfectly unanimo us in its favour, with Sir Robert Peel and three-fourths of his colleagues speaking and voting for it in the Lower House, and the Duke of Wellington yielding a virtual assent in the Upper, we will leave the population of Manchester, or any other fifty thousand rational men, to decide which is the truer prophet, we, or they who denounced the whole ' statement, letter and spirit, in their own peculiar style, as "an atrocious fabrication," resting that courteous denial on the utter impossibility of the Premier under ' going so considerable a change of opinion, and, what was worse still, giving them no information of it. To Lord John Russell, therefore, we must now turn, as the helmsman of the State through the present crisis. We have frequently intimated that he and his friends had at least a better claim to such a measure as that soon to be passed, than ,the Conserva tive Ministry ; and immediately on the appearance of his Lordships letter we said, that he had made the mea sure his own so thoroughly, that even if the Conserva tive Premier should afterwards declare for it, he would hardly escape the stigma of unjust appropriation, Fortune has, at last, distributed the parts of the political drama with a fitness to which we have latterly been little accustomed. Of existing statesmen Lord John Russell is the nearest claimant. That is the utmost, perhaps, that can be said for him. It is, as we have said, the measure of the people. The people propose it. The people are passing it, and it is a popular triumph. Lord John Russell has the honour of being, not in the least sense whatever the author of the measure, but the han diest, most opportune, most convenient, and most becom ing instrument—viz., in the hands of the people. He will of course start very fair ; with his first great measure made to his hands, his work cut out for him, some small stock of popularity in hand, and a neutralised, a divided, and embarrassed Opposition. Had not the Whigs a certain happy facility of wast ing the best resources, and spoiling the fairest occasions, we should augur well of his continuance and success. His responsibility, however, must ate ady press heavily upon him. Never was there a Ministry ev ;-,ch did not receive in its first formation the seeds of future &ma -- never one which could not subsequently trace its calamities to the inevitable working of some constitu tional virus. His difficulty is the abundance of the materials from which he has to make his choice; and not merely the abundance, the variety, and, in some re spects, the discordance of those materials. Whig and Radical, aristocratic and p o p ular, not to say, plebeian, are the colours which he must group and harmonise. And well does it behove him to count the cost of every choice and every rejection. Two paths lie before him He may either reunite the old materials of the former Whi t ; Ministry without going out of " the family" for a single new name; which will be a simple way of beginning, and, we Will add, a simple way of finishing, his career. Or, he may endeavour to enlarge that close connexion and widen that narrow basis, by taking in a little of that rank Arid nobility which nature and the people have created. Contusion decency as well as common sense seem to suggest that the Cabinet of a representative people should itself be representatiof its ve, and should therefore contain the real authors m easures, the foremost men of its princ i p les, the reamers of its constitution, and ma i n tainers of its cause. Tel the last few weeks opened their eyes, the VVhigs have had nothing to do with that great measure which plecee Lord John Russell at the head of the national councils. If the new Cabinet is to be a mere re-union of that exclusive coterie, all the world will he struck with the ingratitude and insolence of a usurpation which so coolly monopolizes the fruits of a victory gained by the indus try, the perseverance, the genius, and the patriotism of others. It is not the Whigs who have displaced Sir Robert Peel and brought in Lord John Russell. The Whigs have had nothing to do with the present crisis and the question now at issue, except in slowly ten dering their adherence at the eleventh hour, and being ready to divide the suil. They are not the makers of the new Cabinet. Zeither ought they to be its only members.lce it is reported te: there Ore men who hnn§ider . themselves not unfit to carry out the itself- thti people, but who recoil with horror at the least plebeian encroachrnetit " %wild the wind and their nobility."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING HERALD. have communicated to my client the letter of your solicitor of the 6th instant, in reply to a letter from me addressed to you of the 4th of the same month, re quiring from you a refutation of an imputation upon the character of my client, Mr. Philip M•rris, of Birming ham, chemist, contained in an article in your paper of the 13th of November last, head( d, " Further extensive seizure of illicit spirits of nitre," in which letter your so licitor stated that the columns of the Morning Herald are open to the contradiction, under my hand, of any mis-statement or error which may have appeared therein ; and in compliance with this offer, and on be half of my client, I beg to make the following statement, as communicated by him to me, the truth of which, from evidence laid before me, I have not the least reason to doubt : You state that, from orders given at this place (meaning, I suppose, London), it was ascertained that a large stock of the same descript ion of spirits had been sent by canal to Birmingham by order of Bailey himself, and that the Birmingham officers of Excise, acting upon information they had received, proceeded to the premises of my client, and found no difficulty in disco verin g the ob j ect of their search, and pronounced the stock of spirits there found to be part of the goods manufactured in the illicit dis tillery in the Globe-road, and sent by the carriers to Birmingham. This, sir, is perfectly correct, and no difficulty could be experienced, for each of the carboys of spirits at the carriers in London were directed to my client in Birmingham, and were sent to him at his warehouse at Birmingham, without the least attempt at concealment, and which directions were found on the carboys in his possession, so that no fraud could have been anticipated or thought of by Mr. Harris in the transaction ; and so fully were the officers of Ex cise aware of the bond fide nature of the transaction on his part, that upon being shown the invoices and other documents sent by Bailey and Company to him, they did not remove the goods from the ware house, where they have remained until a few days ago. With espect to the price paid for the article in ques tion, that at which my client purchased was the then market price, deducting about 2-i per cent. for immediate payment. And further with respect to the quantity, except one carboy sent as a sample, only nine carboys were ordered by him, being the quantity seized—a small quantity compared to that which he is in the habit of buying in the ordinary course of his business. As the goods had only arrived in the possession ofMr. Harris two days prior to the visitation of the officers of Excise, and they had not then been paid for, he had no motive for disputing the seizure, as no pecuniary loss could accrue to him in consequence, and he is advised to leave this question to be settled between Messrs. Bailey Brothers and the Excise.—l am, Sir, your obedient ser vant, SAMUEL DANKS, Dec. 9, 1845. 3, Waterloo-street, Birmingham. ON THE PATRONAGE OF RAIL WAYS IN FRANCE. (naom A CORRESPONDENT.) It is worthy of remark that, in France, the value of railway shares is net based on the importance of the line, or on the length of lease granted, but more invari ably on the reputation and credit of the banker or pro jector of the Company. When, therefore, a new line is proposed, persons seek first to inform themselves who is the projector. This observation is not applicable to the Orleans, Rouen, or St. Germain Railways, the daily re turns of which are ascertained. Patronage is then of great weight in France. As proof of this, we may cite the example of what occurs on the Versailles right line (rive droite), the Versailles left line (rive gauche), and that from Strasbourg to Basle. The shares of the left line (rive gauche) are w orth 295 francs (11/. 15s. 2d.) ; it has, notwith standing, a debt of four millions, and has not, as 3 et, made the least return to its shareholders. The right line (rive droite), the shares of which are worth 455 francs (181.), produces less return than that from Stras bourg to Basle, which has a far fairer prospect of ul timate success, although its shares are only 245 francs (10/). The line of railway from Paris to Strasbourg, of which the works are in active operation, that from Dijon to Mulhouse, from Zurich to Basle, from Stras bourg to Lauterbourg, opening a communication with Belgium and Holland, will be shortly in progress, and will constitute the future prospect of the line from Stras bourg to Basle, which will join the main lines, whilst the railways in the vicinity of Paris will deteriorate in value in proportion as other lines are established. The divi dends, in 1844, were very large, a result to be attri buted to the federal g ames (du fer) ; this year, they promise to realise as much as in 1843, notwithstanding the disturbances in Switzerland, which have exercised a baneful influence on the receipts. ,hence, then, a rises the difference in the pro s p erit y ,v .. 9 of this railway compared with others It is to be traced to Contafluence of patronage, it being well known that the oucil of Administration for the line from Strasbourg to Basle receives no pay, excepts no indem le of - n ification, and does not endeavour to force the sa the shares? As a last example of the power of patronage, we may quote the Northern line, the shares of which,m. in the commencement, were at 380 francs premiuThis enormous difference is only to be accounted for by its being assigned to the Princes of France ; in other hands the premiums would have been inconsiderable. _ -- SPO RTING IN TAT It RSALUS—YESTERDAY. .

POSEN, DEC. I.—lt was very generally reported that the day before yesterday (the 29th of November), the anniversary of the revolution at Warsaw, was fixed upon as the time at which a great movement in favour of Polish independence should take place; at least that day was indicated as of great importance in the threatening letter addressed to the President of the Police, Baron Von Massentoli. The day, however, has passed over without any disturbance; as was to be expected, for there can be no great reason to dread revolution, the breaking out of which is formally announced to the public before hand.
