LONDON, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1845. THE NEW MINISTRY. Lord GREY and the Right Hon. EDWARD ELLICR arrived in town yesterday morning. Im mediately on arrival, they had an in terview with Lord .Tout Russiir.r.. The Noble Lord had constant communication with all the leaders of the Liberal party the whole of yester day. Many days cannot elapse before something will be known, but at present all is surmise, and we refrain from giving currency to rumours that are totally destitute of any foundation. (FROM coRRESPONDENT.) Lord GRBT arrived in town yesterday, and had an interview with Lord JOHN ltessEt.L. Lord MORPETH is also expected in town shortly. Lord MINT() and other Whig noblemen and gentle men are also expected to arrive in town. A meeting of influential political friends was held yesterday at Lord JouN RUSSELL'S private residence in Chesham-place. The Duke of BEDFORD left town on Saturday evening, on his return to Woburn Abbey. The following appeared in our Third Edition of last night : Lord Joim RUSSELL has called a meeting of all the Members of the former Cabinet, and of other influen tial Liberal leaders for to-morrow morning, at his house in Chesham-place. The Marquis of LANS.. DOWSE, Lord PALURRTON, the Right Hon. EDwtjl) ELLICE, Lord GRRY, and several others, have been in consultation with Lord JOHN RUSSELL this day. Sir DENIS LE MARCHANT and Mr. TUFNELL have been in atttendauce also. Rumours have been afloat, that the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, and not Lord J.Rus -BELL, would be the Premier; but we b elieve there is no truth in the rumour. Until after the meetih g of to morrow nothing can be with certainty predicted, but the stron g l ean i ng con tinues to be, a n d to increase in strength, th a t L or d J OHN RUSSELL will for m hi s Government without much longer delay. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) A general meeting of Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S political supporters will be held to-morrow, and after the meeting Lord JOHN RUS3ELL will proceed to Windsor Castle to communicate the results to the Qussx. We believe that the end of the present extraor dinary crisis will be the formation of an Administra tion by Lord JOEL'S RUSSELL. But this is our opinion only. This result is probable, but not certain. Lord J 0 Russ is not responsible for the present st a t e difficulties ; and it would be not only incon sistent with his hab!tual caution and indicative of in THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY MORTsTING, DECEMBER 16, 1845. him a very unusual greediness of power, but it would be even the extreme of madness, unless he sees his way to success, or his duty as a patriot and a loyal subject of her MAJESTY leaves him no alternative, to commit his fame to the solution of difficulties of no ordinary nature, in creating which he has had no share. If he embark in the great undertaking and fail, the public may not nicely dispense the just degrees of blame to Lord JOHN RUSSELL and his predecessor. The Minister for the time being will be the person in court ready for sentence ; and when the question on which he is to stake his fame is the all-exciting one of the free supply of food to a nation visited with scarcity, a much less cautious and conscientious man than Lord JOHN RUSSELL would think thrice before he under took the responsibility which Sir ROBERT PEEL has sought to transfer to him. There are two things which the new Premier will have to do. He will have to meet the present exigency, and he will have to undertake a final settle ment of the corn-law question. For the first of these objects, after the delay which has already occurred, and the further delay which new ministerial arrangements would probably neces sitate, there would seem now to be no alternative but an immediate Order in Council for the opening of the ports. Would Sir ROBERT PEEL and the Duke of WELLINGTON ensure, as they have it in their power to do, indemnification by Parliament ? For the permanent settlement of the corn-law question, there is but one way of doing it, and, at any rate, but one way in which Lord Joux RUSSELL can propose to do it, after his letter to the electors of London. What course will Sir ROBERT PEEL and the Duke of WELLINGTON take on a measure of total, immediate, and unconditional repeal ? Without Sir ROBERT PEEL'S support, Lord JOHN RUSSELL can have no hope with the present House of Commons, though a dissolution would most probably give him a majority with another. But without the Duke of WELLINGTON'S influence, what is to be done with the House of Lords ? Will Lord JOHN RUS SELL commit himself to collision between the House of Lords and the country, and to carrying the repeal of the corn-laws by provoking a popular excite ment, such as that which carried the Reform Act, and by extraordinary measures, if they should be ne cessary, for overcoming the opposition of the House of Lords. A wise man will weigh all the conse quences of a step, and if he take it will be prepared for the worst. But Lord J. RUSSELL would, pro bably, refuse at present to incur the necessity of rousing the passions of the people ; nor is it likely that he would ask, or, if he asked, obtain a promise such as WILLIAM IV. gave Lord GRIT, to swamp the House of Lords. Other things must be tried first. Rather than undertake this now, we feel as sured that Lord JOHN RUSSELL would compel Sir ROBERT PEEL to return to his post. Compel, we say, for it lies on Sir ROBERT PEEL, and not on Lord JOHN RUSSELL, to extricate her MAJESTY from her present difficulties. Lord JOHN RUSSELL is free to name his conditions on taking office. Sir ROBERT PEEL cannot leave her MAJESTY, as he has left her, without aiding her, if she requires his aid, out of the difficulties which he has made for her. It principally depends then on Sir ROBERT PEEL how this crisis shall end. It is no ordinary step which he has taken, in resigning at this moment. He has resigned while Parliament is not sitting—not, as is usual, in consequence of a Parliamentary defeat—with the certainty, whenever Parliament met ,again, of a large Parliamentary majority at his back,: even though he should not reli giously adhere to the principles on which his Govern ment was formed. His Parliamentary majority has already often followed him in desertion from the old party standards. How, then, can we read Sir Ito- BEET PEEL'S resignation' but as a ConfesssiOn that he cannot govern the country on his. own principles, nor on any principles so near to them as to be able to meet again his old Parliamentary majority, as Minister ? This being so, will he stickle now on small differences between the measure which he may have intended to propose and Lord Jou"! RusszLes measure ? He cannot have resigned without ex plaining to her MAJESTY the insuperable difficulties of his ministerial position. Will he refuse her MA JESTY the aid which he can render to the only man who can succeed him ? Sir ROBERT PEEL has ceased to be Minister under circumstances which must com pal him to cease also to be a mere political tactician On Saturday a meetica of the electors of Hert ordshire was held at Hertford, for the purpose of ascertaining the principle on which Mr. HALSEY comes forward as a candidate for the county. The meeting was got up chiefly by his supporters. Sir MINTO FARQUHAR, chairman of Mr. HALSEY'S cen tral committee, presided. Mr. HALSEY was introduced amidst loud cheers, and everything seemed to betoken a triumphant issue to the day's proceedings, but un fortunately for the Protectionists, some men of sound knowledge, and not bigotted to the interests of one class, were present, and by arguments and undeniable facts turned the anticipated victory into a defeat. The new candidate is no half-and-half Conservative —he goes the whole length, and vies with the most rabid Tory in denouncing Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and threatening destruction to any Ministry, " let them be who they might," who would attempt to di minish the present protection to agriculture. Taking for granted that Lord JOHN RUSSELL had already completed his difficult task, and was in the confidence of her MAJESTY, he thus opens his attack upon the party :—" There was now at the head of her MAJESTY'S Government a man pledged to the destruction of the Church in Ireland, to the endowment of theßomish Church, a n d th e a b o li t i on o f all protection : would a sup porter of such a man suit the electors of Herts ?" And he thus pathetically describes the woful plight to which the farmers of Hertfordshire would be reduced by the new-fangled policy adopted both by him and the Conservative leader who had betrayed their cause : "If those whom he addressed were willing to be forced to leave the farms upon which they and their forefathers had lived and been happy for centuries—if they wished to be degraded to a lower rank, the farmer to the rank of the labourer, and the labourer to the rank of the labourer on the Continent—if they wished to be dependent on the I manufacturer for precarious work and a scanty al. lowance of black bread, then let them support what was called free trade." Mr. WARD, M P., who knows the locality well, happened to be present, and showed the blessings of protection for the last thirty years in such a light, that the tone of the meeting sud denly changed, a motion declaring that Mr. HALSEY was a fit and proper person to represent the county was rejected, and the following resolution carried by a majority of two :—"That in the opinion of this meeting it is the interest of the tenant-farmer, the labourer, and the landlord, that the corn-law question should be promptly and permanently settled, the experience of the last thirty years having proved that protec tion drives capital from land, narrows the home market by crippling foreign trade, and injures all classes periodically by ruinous fluctuations." As we stated on Saturday, these " protection" meetings are of the greatest service to the cause of free trade, because the advocates of monopoly have not one sound argument on which they can rest ; and the absurdity of their principles requires only to be pointed out, to meet the approbation even of those whom they have deluied by false promises and false hopes. The tenants find that, notwith standing the vast anxiety displaytid by the landlords for them and their labourer's the corn-laws have really afforded them no protection whatever; that they are now in a worse position than they had been at any former period, and that there is no hope for them, but in a final settlement of the question. That is the feeling entertained by the whole tenantry of Scotland; it is becoming prevalentin England, and now that the leading men of both parties, in whom the public place confidence, are unanimous in that opinion, it requires not the spirit of prophecy to tell that this great measure of reform can be no longer delayed. (We have read, with great regret, a lett er f rom Mr. VERNON SMITH, M.P. for Northampt on , to one of his constituents, which contains a most wanton and un merited reflection on the Anti-Corn -law League, We believe this gentleman held a subordinate offi ce under Lord MELBOURNE'S Government, and he pro. bably hopes now to come in again for some of the pickings. Mr. VERNON SMITH, who, by way of making the thing perfect, calls himself a corn-law repealer, says—" My own opinion may sound a para dox; but it is, that of late years the conduct of the Tories has advanced the repeal of the corn-laws, and the violence and abuse of the Anti-Corn-law League has retarded it. The true-hearted people of England loathe insin cerity and spurn dictation." The distinguished lead ers of the League can afford to treat this imperti nence with contempt, and are not likely, we suppose, to give Mr. SMITH credit for speaking the sentiments of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and Lord MORPETH, and other leading statesmen, with whom he has been con nected in a subordinate capacity. Mr. VEalsoN SMITH might have chosen a better time for abusing the body to whose unwearying and brilliant exer tions the country owes its victory over monopoly. Madrid journals of the 7th have been received. Reports of the QUEEN'S marriage with the Count DE TRAPANI have been again revived, and furnish topics of discussion in most of them. This project of marriage is universally disapproyed of by all inde pendent Spaniards, and is supported only by the French party. The Esperanza repeats the rumour that the notorious BRAVO, once Prime Minister, had been dismissed from his situation as Ambassador at the Court of Lisbon. It appears that great reform has taken place at Court, and most of the ancient ceremonies when Spain was a great country had been revived. A letter of the 6th says : " The ceremonies of the ancient reigns have recently been adopted at the Palace. The day before yesterday thirty or forty ladies were admitted to the honour of the Tabouret, and yesterday several grandees of Spain put on their mantle for the first time. The cer emon y o f t h e chapter of th e O r d er of Charles M., held this day, has been magnificent. Seventy-four knights were present in their rich costumes. The Dukes de Valencia and Rianzares, and Martinez de la Rosa figured conspicu ously among them." The Gazette contains a notice from the Sinking Fund Board that the dividends on the Three per Cent. Internal Debt will be paid at Madrid from and after the 2d of January next, and that persons holding that stock in Paris and London may receive bills on Madrid at four days' sight, drawn by the presidents of the finance com mission there on the Sinking Fund Board, for their cou pons, if they prefer doing so. The Three per Cents. have advanced latterly, owing to the combination formed for that purpose ; they closed on the 6th at 361 cash, and 36i at 60 days ; 27 millions done. Five per Cents. 24 at 60 days ; 1,600,000 done. The Paris papers are chiefly occupied with discus sions on the resignation of the PEEL Ministry, and its probable consequences. The views taken by some show more knowledge of political affairs in this country than previous articles would have led English men to anticipate. The following remarks from the Government paper, the Journal des Debate, will be read with interest :—" The grave determination come to by the English Ministry was unexpected. We were not ignorant of the serious difficulties which had arisen in the Council on the subject of a change in the corn-laws, but it was generally believed that the head of the Cabinet had succeeded in bringing his colleagues to his own opinion, and that a una nimity had been re-established in the Councils of the Crown. It must be believed that the principal ob stacle which was thought to have been removed has again come in the way, and that the member of the Cabinet whose influence alone could counterbalance that of Sir ROBERT FEEL, the Duke of WELLING.. TON, ,has felt himself bound to recur to his first opinion. However this may be, the Ministry of Sir R. PEEL is dissolved, and the English Government at an absolute crisis. Without pretending to fore see the manner in which this crisis will terminate, we nevertheless think that, considering the state of parties in England, and the disposition of the public, no long time will elapse before Sir ROBERT PEEL again finds himself called upon to form a new Cabinet. Without him only two combinations are possible, a Whig Ministry directed • by Lord Joan RUSSELL, and a Ministry purely and simply Tory, with the Duke of 'WELLINGTON for its chief, and Lord STANLEY for its orator. A Whig Ministry, particularly after the recent demonstration of Lord JOHN Ramshrs., would find itself in very consider able minority in the present House of Commons, and would have against it nearly all the Lords. It must therefore have recourse to a dissolution. It is indubitable that it would still find itself in a minority in a new Parliament, and that the agricultural party, though greatly weakened in the last four years, would, nevertheless, be still the strongest at a new general election. There only remains an ultra-Tory Ministry on the system of maintaining the present laws, and resting solely on the landed interest. Such a Ministry will probably be tried, but all conceive that it cannot last ; and, if it lasts, it will be dangerous. A political, but at the same time a progressive, conservatism, like that of Sir ROBERT PEEL, was the only one capable of neu tralising by directing a popular feeling so strong as that which is now manifested in England. This mixed party, this party of wise mutual concessions, would prevent a shock between the two extreme ele ments, and gradually, though slowly, prepare the ne cessary fusion. The species of crusade undertaken against the corn-laws has hitherto borne only the character of a question of economy —this new state will give it a democratic character. The struggle which has hitherto been only between two systems, will become one between two classes; and when the cause of the freedom of trade and the increase of labour shall no longer be debated, omly in the he reditary Chamber, a conflict will arise between the middle and working classes on the one side, and the aristocracy of the great landowners on the other. We therefore believe that the most probable solution of the Ministerial crisis in England is, that, after several attempts by others, Sir ROBERT PEEL will once more be charged with the formation of a new Cabinet. The separation of the Duke of WELLING TON will, undoubtedly, be a cause of great difficulty; but a Cabinet which shall reckon among its members Sir R. PEEL, Lord ABERDEEN, Sir JAMES GRAHAM, and perhaps Mr. GLADSTONE, will still combine suf ficient influence, as well as talents to form a strong Government. We will add, that particular circum stances will render the constitution of a new Cabinet most urgent, for the Message of the President of the United States will in a few days arrive at Liverpool." We subjoin the opinions of some of the other papers on this unexpected event':_ (From the Const"tutionnet) "We have already examined, as well as an opinion could be formed of the future, what were the probable consequences of Sir R. Peel's withdrawal from office, if this step be certain, which is not yet definitive. The journals which pass for the confidential organs of his opinions, declared the other day that, in consequence of the attitude taken by Lord John Russell, all coalition had become impossible between the Whigs and mode rate Tories. The result will be, that the Queen will summon the Whigs to the Ministry, and that Sir R. Peel will give, in the Chamber, to Lord J. Russell the perse vering and disinterested support which he received from him during the past year ; or that the Tories, who have just overturened Sir R. Peel, will seize on the Govern ment, and endeavour to defend the present legislation. We believe, as we have already declared, that in presence of the progress made by the agitation against the corn laws, they will not be able to succeed, except by turning public opinion on a great undertaking, where all the forces of the country should be engaged." (From the National) " The Cabinet of Sir Robert Peel is dissolved. If the Whigs were ready for and desirous of office, and if they could command a majority in the Parliament, all diffi culty would soon be at an end. But the accession of the Whigs requires three things which are not easy: --1, The dissolution of the House of Commons. 2. Favour able elections. 3. A considerable creation of Peers. Lord John Russell must, moreover, be decided to assume the direction of affairs, and everything indicates that, at this moment, he has no such intention. The Whigs are, by this time, accustomed to see Sir Robert Peel sweep ing the road for them, transacting their business, and they rendering government commodious to him. They then take their portfolios and go to sleep in the sweetest idleness; when the people grumble and ac cuse them of impotency, they request Lord Palmerston to kick up a bit of a row out of doors, and his Lordship finds here and there a personage flat enough to pass through the eye of a needle. The Whigs, enchanted, then say that they have done quite enough for their glory, and after this exploit they return into private life. Now, as Lord J. Russell does not appear much inclined to new adventures, there remain Sir R. Peel and the Duke of Wellington—which of the two will the Queen send for? Both, perhaps ; but the position of each is narrow and difficult. What can the Duke of Wellington do? Form an ultra-Tory Cabinet resolved upon resistance. But who will be chosen by him to lead the House of Com mons ? Where is the man sufficiently robust to stand a single night against Peel and Russell ? There is not one. Lord Stanley might have tried, but he is now in the House of Lords, Suppose even th a t W e lli ngton should by chance find such a person, where would be his majority ? The Tories decided on yielding nothing are not more than 200 ; Peel has the others, and their junction with the Whigs would at the first trial Place the Wellington Cabinet in a minority. If, then, such a minority should be formed, it would not last a month, and it would only have the effect of facilitating a coalition between Sir Robert Peel and the Whip, which has long been foreseen. On the other hand, the Baronet cannot hope to direct the affairs of the country, having against him, not only the Duke of Wellington, but Stanley, Ripon, Buckingham, Buccleuch, Richmond, in short, the whole English aristocracy. In proposing the abolition of the corn-laws, he would infallibly ob tain through the Whigs a majority of the House of Commons, but he would fall in the Lords before a for midable opposition. There would be only one way to destroy this obstacle, viz., to create at least sixty Peers which, sooner or later, must be done. Such a measure may be resorted to in favour of a firm Cabinet, having a real majority of its own in the House of Commons, but Sir Robert Peel would only have a borrowed majority, which would cease the moment the Whigs should vote against him. Would he himself, with the consciousness of his weakness, attempt a large creation of Peers ? and would he not, in such case, be obliged, in order to support it, to dissolve the Commons ? Are not the trials that he has undergone, this painful rupture with the Duke of Wellington, the insults that he has re ceived from his own party, the contempt of the aristo cracy, which he has led against its will, and which de tested whilst it followed its leader, with the embarrass ments connected with his present situation-are not all these sufficient to induce Sir R. Peel to refuse any longer to bear so heavy a burthen ? All is uncertain, all is grave in the present state of things ; we have been desirous of stating it clearly in order that it may be ap preciated by our readers. This Ministerial crisis in London will produce a powerful sensation in England, and it ought to indicate to our Ministers that the last hours of the English Cabinet announce to them al: o, that the hand which marks the duration of their existence has nearly run the circle of the dial." " (From the C ourr i er Francais.) The dissolution of the Cabinet, after the resignation of Sir R. Peel, and in spite of the resistance of the Duke of Wellington, shows to what point a party in England shares the fortune of its head, and how that party knows how to accept the necessities of the constitutional go vernment. At the head of the Cabinet, as at the head of the Opposition, Sir R. Peel or Lord J. Russell are entitled to say, the pasty of which lam the leader. In this way the authority of the Government can be pre served entire in passing from one hand to another. Who in France has a right to speak like Sir R. Peel or Lord John Russell ? Sir R. Peel had accepted the revi sion of the corn-laws only in self-defence, and because, in his opinion, the existence of the Cabinet depended on that concession. At the head of the Opposition he will therefore oppose the measure which ho would have accorded, had he continued at the head of affairs. The resignation of the Tory Ministry gives the Ministry of October 29 a blow from which it cannot recover. Lord J. Russell and Lord Palmerston, succeeding Sir R. Peel and Lord Aberdeen, will not consent to favour the system of temporising which the Tory Minister countenanced, because it was certain to reap consider able advantages from it. Perhaps the Whig Ministry which is going to be formed will lead public discussion to foreign affairs (it may be looked on as a certainty that this will be the case if Lord Palmerston gets into po.ver), in order to turn aside the still graver difficulty, to which it is pledged beforehand, respecting the corn-laws. In any case, the struggle will be severe at both sides of the Cliannel. May the events which must result from it have for us this time less bitter fruits." (From the Siecle ) "The withdrawal of the Tory Ministry will be with out influence on the difficulties of foreign policy. For some time past the Whigs have been drawing closer to France; and we may add that political traditions, which are all-powerful in England, establish but very ft eble difference between parties in what regards the relations of England with the Continent. M. Guizot alone will lose by it, for he will no longer have a pretext for speak ing to us of the entente cordiale." (From the France.) "We persist in thinking that Sir Robert Peel is the man -necessary, indispensable, for present circumstances. In that case the question for him would be to choose other colleagues. The crisis, now commencing, will undergo many a phase before it arrives at a solution. It will deeply move the Tory party, which at this con juncture may lose much more in isolating itself than in taking part in the movement, in order to direct it. Hi therto this party had thought it advisable, from not being able to do otherwise, to take the initiative in the reforms which the force of circumstances imposed on it. We shall soon see if it intends adopting a system of re sistance to the last extremity." The following are miscellaneous extracts from the papers :- The Royal Family are not to quit St. Cloud for the Tuileries, says the Constitutionnel, before the 22d inst. The Act of April 22, 1806, declares that " three Re gents of the Bank of France must be chosen from amongst the Receivers -General." The dismissal of M. Bandon, who formed part of the Council of Regents in his quality of Receiver-General, therefore, involved his withdrawal from those functions. M. Bandon, we un derstand, on Wednesday sent in his resignation to the Governor of the Bank. The Minister of Marine has just rendered an account to the King of the operations of the squadron of evolu tions in the Mediterranean, during the five months since it first left Toulon Roads, and also sent in the report by Admiral Parceval Duchesne, who commands it, of the general inspection he has made of the squadron. His report is most satisfactory. In the manoeuvres in which it has been exercised from June till October, he states that the captains and officers have given uniform proofs of perfect science and ability, and that they and all the crews have constantly manifested the utmost zeal and the best spirit. A considerable sensation was created by the an nouncement that M. Gabrielde Isot, a brother of the stockbroker who has just failed, had committed suicide by blowing out his brains, on the previous morning, at Grenelle. In addition to the affixing the seals upon the papers of M. Isot, the stockbroker, a warrant for the arrest of his person has been issued, but not exe cuted on account of his having left Paris. The news of the resignation of the Conservative Ministry in England produced a fall in the French Funds on Friday, but next day they recovered.

We have received New York papers to the 20th ult. inclusive. They do not, however, contain anything of particular importance. The Washington Union of the 18th has another lone article on the Oregon question, in which it intimates that, having sufficiently shown "its hand" on the policy heretofore adopted, and still determined upon by the President on this all-engrossing subject, it may with propriety suspend further discussion unless provoked again to controversy. The article, which occupies nearly three columns on this subject, closes by as inti mation that the next Message of the President will abundantly sustain all the views which he has expressed on this question. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY MORNING.—The arrival of the New York packet-ship Hottinguer, Captain Burs ley, late last night, has put us in possession of pa pers from that city to the 21st ult., her day of sail ing; they do not, however, contain any news of importance. The auxiliary screw-steamer, Massa chusetts arrived at Holmes Hole, Nantucket, on the 19th instant., having put in there owing to the illness of the Captain. The Britannia's news was hourly expected in New York when the Hottinguer left, as she hail been telegraphed off Boston the day before. The following are extracts from the papers :--- DAMAGES FOR SEDUCTION.—At the Monmouth, N. J. Circuit, just closed, the case of " Rogers V. Ivins," for the seducti on o f plaintiff's daughter, resulted in a ver dict of 1,000 dollars. THE FLORIDA ELECTION.—Mr. Cabell, the Whig candidate, has got his certificate of election, as the law requires that th e Governor shall certify within thirty ' days after the election who has a majority of the re turned votes. M r. Cabell was found to have 69 more returned than M r . Brockenburgh, who, however, has a small majority o f t h e whole vote cast in tho State. INCENDI ARY ATTEMP TS .—F our attempts were n:Nde on Thursday and Friday evenings to set fire to build ings of a combustible character, in the vicinity of Brown's and Coleman's Hotels, in Washington. A BIBLE Fon OLE BULL.—The Home Missionary Society of Philadelphia presented Ole Bull with a mag nificent Bible on Saturday last, as a testimony of the appreciation of his kindness, in giving a gratuitous con cert to the poor. The St. L 014 iS -NM Era makes the following strange suggestion. We hardly think it will be carried into effect. It would be a fatal advertisement for some M.D.'s : —" In marriage notices, it is usual to give the name of the clergyman who performed the ceremony, and with equal propriety in obituary notices the name of the at tending physician should be given." MONEY MARKET. NEW YORK, Nov. 19 . —Quotations for stocks continue unsettled. The Bartlet Mills, of Newburyport, have declared a semi annual dividend of seven per cent. The exports of flour from this port to London and Liver pool, in the first eleven days of this month, amounted to 14,092 barrels; of cheese to 910,7311 b. ; and of wheat, 16,848 bushels. The shipments since have been large, every packet going out full of these articles. The advices from Liverpool to the 4th instant are anxiously looked for, by all kinds of speculators. The high prices ruling in our seaport markets for flour have increased the receipts at tide water many thousand barrels. The Britannia steamer, out sixteen days, had not ar rived when these papers left New York. -------- MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of Last Night.) There was a quiet market for Cotton at Liverpool on Satur day. Sales, 2,000 bales, all to the trade, and at former rates. Much disappointment has been expressed in the City, especially among the commercial classes. at the apparent difficulties which surround Lord John Russell in the tbrma tion of a Ministry. It is impossible that trade and commerce can revive until there is some definite settlement of the Cabinet, and until the final disposition of the corn-laws takes place, it being admitted now, on all hands, that there must be some radical reform in the sliding-scale, if not an actual repeal of these odious imposts. The arrival of the Message of the President of the United States, on the opening of the Congress of the Republic, is now almost 'lowly expected, and, as upon its contents may depend the question of peace or war, it need hardly be stated, a lirely desire is expressed for the receipt of this most iva • portant document. The appearance of the Stock Market certainly offers at the present time nothing very encouraging. There is a paucity of business, and a want of confidence among nearly all parties, quite irrespective of th e i r po li t i ca l creeds. Consol s or Time have been 9214 to 9211; Exchequer-bills have been at a premium of 21s. to 225., being the same as on Saturday. East India Bonds under 1,000/. have been 325. premium.

The Foreign Securities have been rather livelier, and Spa nish Bonds exhibited an improvement. The Five per Cents. are 27 7 to 28 1 ,4, and the Three per Cents. 301 to 30%. Portuguese Old Bonds have been 76, and the Four per Cents. 58. Mexican Stock has been quoted 29 to 2911, being still rather heavy.

A RARE CIRCUMSTANCE.—A goose, the propel!, of Mr. Spink, farmer, of Wentbridge, hatched, during 11 course of last week, seven goslings, which is the second pr°' dace in one year. The prisoners in Springfield gaol, who are Car mitted for trial at the next assizes, some of whom have been gre atlf upwards of five months in custody, are, it seems disappointed to find that they are not to be tried before March, and several of the most desperate among them las t week determined to make a daring effort to fight their way out of the prison. The governor, being apprised of their destrie:s: design, took prompt measures to frustrate it; but on Sunday morning last the prisoners resisted, and refused to obey . the order given for removing one of them out of one 3-erd into another, putting themselves in open defiance of the prison authorities. The judicious steps taken by the governor, how ever, rendered resistance futile, and the insubordinates wete reduced to submission without personal violence. Although some of them were outrageous i n their conduct, they at once abandoned their scheme as impracticable, and have since conducted themselves in a quiet and orderly manner.-- Chelmsford Chronicle. IVRECIC—Some days ago, a piece of a wreck, typo" rently that of a boat, was seen near the north-eastern extremity of Skye, not far from some drowned cattle which the boat had probably contained. It is known that the Rev. Mr. Murray, lately inducted to the church and parish of Shieldaig, Apple cross, was about to sail from Harris, with some cattle, a few days previous. His course lay in the vicinity of the wreck. and as he has not since been heard of, fears are entertained that the reverend gentleman was in the ill-fated ve.ssel—la verness Courier. HONESTY REWARDED.—A purse, containing 151 . in notes, which was advertised last week as having been found some time ago, between Grantham and Gonerby, by a poor woman of the name of Carrington, has been owned by Mr. Bradford, of Stonesby.
