The following appeared in our Third Edition of Lest N ight ;—. Immediately upon the refusal of the Duke of WiILLINGTON, on Friday last, to carry out what he bad agreed to do—namely, to propose a repeal of the corn-laws in the House of Lords—it became apparent that resignation of office by Sir ROBERT PEEL must fIIIIO4V. Lord JOHN RUSSELL was recommended to be sent for, and a messenger was dispatched on Saturday last to command his at- tendance at Osborne House. His arrival there was expected yesterday, and Sir ROBERT PEEL expected to have met him. Sir ROBERT, however, returned lit Eight without having seen Lord JOHN. Lord Jou - s Rossam. and Sir ROBERT PEEL had an interview of an hour's duration, after which Lord Jonx Russsu. left town for Cowes. He had an audience of her MAJESTY, and has had full powers given him to form a Government. He has sent fur Lord PALIMETON, and is taking, it is believed, all the necessary steps to form an Administration. We have but little addition to make to the in telligence contained in our Third Edition of last evening. Lord Jous RUSSELL having undertaken the task of forming a new Administration, is proceed ing with all dispatch in making his arrangements. Lord PALMERSTON has been sent for, and will quickly arrive in London. To him the Foreign office will be confided. Lord NORMANDY, in all probability, takes the Home-office. Lord GREY the Colonial-office. Ur. BARING resumes the Chancellorship of the Exchequer. Lord MORPETH may possibly go to Ireland (where his popularity would render him an admirable Lord- Lieutenant). Lord COTTENHAM resumes the Chancellorship of England. Lord CAMPBELL the Chancellorship of Ireland. Sir THOMAS WILDE and Mr. JERVIS will be Attorney, and Solicitor-Generals. Lord MINTO takes the Admiralty. Sir. JOHN 110BROUSE, Mr. CHARLES BUL LER, Mr. HAWES, Sir GEORGE GREY, and Mr. TUFNELL, will form parts of the Govern ment. lir G. - NAPIER and Admiral DUNDAS are to join the Admiralty Board. such are the on dits of the day. It 13 understood that before Lord Joss RUSSELL'S departure he addressed communications to several of his late colleagues, only one of whom, we believe, M r . Balms, happened to be in London. We believe that Sir R. NEL feels delighted at his freedom from the trammels of office, and from the eeables of the last twelve months. All the (A sti/eare busy packing up the papers, and leaving a *leer lidaul for the New Administration. As Sirts—and important parts, too—of that Ad- InkiatrAtion, public opinion points strongly to Mr. 6 0111DRN and Mr. VILLIERS. No Administration ,wilbe deemed complete in whieh the men of the people are not included. The PEEL Government, •ver sinoe Its advent in 1841, has been compelled to court popular opinion ; and to the necessity which Sir ROBERT PEEL felt of doing so still more, is the ove throw of the Conservative party owing. Lord JOHN RusszLL cannot forget what he owes to the free-trade party, nor to whom he owes his return to power. The sudden fall of Sir R. PEEL'S Government has by this time caused much excitement throughout the kingdom, and the greatest anxiety will exist till the public can, from authentic sources, ascertain who are to be the successors of the " strong Ministry. , Judging from the accounts in a few of the country papers which we have received, the event has excited , the greatest surprise in the provinces as well as the metropolis, for scarcely any circumstances were con sidered less probable than that on 'Wednesday her MAJESTY should accept the resignation of Ministers, and on the next day have an interview with Lord JOHN RUSSELL on the subject of appointing their successors. The formation of a new Cabinet, now that the surprise has subsided, is therefore the main point that occupies the public mind, because on the character and qualifications of the men to be appointed to the principal departments will, in a great measure, depend the support of that powerful party—we mean the public—who have dethroned the Conservatives, and left no other choice to her MAJESTY but to select a Ministry from their opponents. We see that one organ of the old Tory school, which denounces every species of reform, even with more sincerity than the late unchangeable ELDois, blames the ex-Minister for recommending to het MAJESTY Lord J. RUSSELL without first respectfully suggesting that the future Ministry should be selected from among those of his late colleagues who formed the majority against him, in other words, from the " remnants of a broken faction." Sir ROBERT PERT. knew better, and had more re gard for his own character, as well as respect for the Throne, than to make such an absurd proposition. In the Lords, possibly ability enough might be found easily for the decent management of the routine business that generally occupies that House; but what was to be done with the House of Commons, and a Reformed House of Commons too, with numerous and able Members re presenting large manufacturing interests, the very existence of which depends on the accomplishment of free-trade principles ? They could not have been brought over to the Tories, and by whom, then, were they, together with a powerful body supporting Sir ROBERT PEEL, and a still more powerful party fol lowing in the train of Lord Jousi RUSSELL, to be opposed ? There is not one speaker of even ordinary abilities, or with the slighest skill in Parliamentary debate, to be found among the whole race. The case was utterly hopeless, and had Sir ROBERT PEEL been so indiscreet as to make such a suggestion, her MAJESTY would in a few words have settled the question. There was nothing for it but a total change of men as well as measures, and to Lord JOHN RUSSELL, therefore, do the public now look for the right selection. One point is quite clear, that if his Lordship is resolved to form a stable Ministry—one that will ensure general con fidence, and carry out the great principles which have led to the present interregnum—he must forget that the Whigs exist, and choose his colleagues, not from the old aristocratic Whig school, but from men of liberal opinions of every class, and, above all, from those who have acted such a con spicuous part in the late movements for the repeal of the corn-laws and the abolition of all protective duties. He cannot forget that without their aid the Whigs might long have remained on the dreary Opposition benches ; for, till within the last few weeks, they were, as a body, regarded equally hostile with the Conservatives to total repeal, and no corn-law repealer would have thought for a mo ment of substituting him for Sir ROBERT PEEL. The " finality" speech too had done not a little to damage his cause ; but we will pass over that —ample amends hare been made, and proofs of repentance given ; and all that the country now expects is the fulfilment of pledges on the Trea sury bench, solemnly given in the days of adversity. The agricultural interest will, no doubt, be sufficiently protected, for one-half, perhaps three-fourths of the Cabinet will consist of men who cannot forget that they or their families possess large estates; but there is another interest still more important to the community, because on its prosperity depends all our colonial greatness, and our very security as a nation—the commercial interest. That interest has never yet been fairly represented in any Cabinet. The aristocracy, or the hangers-on of the aristocracy, have generally filled all the high places, and Manchester, and Leeds, and Birmingham, and fifty other great manufacturing towns have had to trust mainly to the exertions of their representa tives in the House of Commons. On that head there must be a totally new arrangement, and we cannot see how Lord Joust RUSSELL! can form a Cabinet_ with the slightest chance of prolonging its existence fo six months, without the aid of such men as Mr ' COBDEN, and the Hon. CHARLES VILLIERS, and a few other leading free-traders. During the last years—perhaps during the whole of the MEL BOURNB Ministry—men of that stamp never acted cor dially with the Government : they rallied to the fight to keep out the Tories when a desperate battle was expected, but they were always unwilling coadjutors, and only wanted the fit opportunity to assert their rights and the rights of the large constituencies which they represented. That period has arrived. The public will no longer submit to the old exclusive system ; new blood must be infused into the constitution of the RUSSELL Cabinet; there must be representatives of the manufacturing classes, and representatives, too, of that neglected country, Ireland, which, though containing a population of eight mil lions, could not boast of one Cabinet Mi nister, while Scotland, with less than three millions, gloried in not fewer than three or four, for Lord WHARNCLIFFE is more Scotch than English. Lord JOHN, therefore, has a task of no little difficulty to perform, and on his execution of the work depends his political existence. _ TIIEEVIE:qiNG, DEC EMBER SUN, LONDON, FRID4.Y 12, 1845 (FROM ♦ CORRESPONDENT.) The list of the new Ministry which has appeared in the Times is, of course, merely conjectural. It would be very easy to add to the guesses. There can be no danger in predicting that, with one exception, all the noblemen and gentlemen named in our Con temporary's list will belong to the new Administra tion, and the places he gives them are generally well guessed. The exception we refer to is Mr. DUNDAS, named by the Times for Solicitor-General. With out any disparagement to Mr. DUNDAs, we believe that both professional and Parliamentary standing give Mr. JERVIS superior claims. The following noblemen may he added as sure to be included in the new arrange ments : Lord FORTESCUE, Lord Mum, Lord Auca- LAND, and Lord CAdaPBELL. Lord AUCKLAND Will not improbably superintend the Board of Control, and Lord FORTESCUE the Post-office. Mr. CHARLES WOOD is spoken of as most likely to be Secretary for Ireland. Sir GEORGE GREY, Mr. MACAULAY, Mr. LABOUCHERE, Mr. SHELL, and Mr. TUrNELL, are also certain to be members of the new Government. Mr. TUTNELL will probably be the whipper-in Secretary to the Treasury ; and Mr. HAWES is spoken of as likely to be the Financial Secretary. We hope for the sake of the Government itself, as ' well as of the country, that such men as Lord FITZ WILLIAM, Mr. COBDEN, Mr. GIBSON, and Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, who carry with them great popular con fidence, may be included in Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S arranvments. The Marquis of ANGLESSA is spoken 4 of for the command of the army. The French Mail due this morning has been de layed by the stormy weather in the Channel last night. BUSLN ESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE, Du. 11.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL was expected to arrive in town at one o'cloca this day from Osborne House. He stayed there last night, having at eight o'clock sent a packet of letters by a QUEEN'S Messenger up to London. A Treasury Messenger also came from Osborne House at the same time. No steam-boat could be procured in Cowes at that hour, and the two Messengers came oyez boat, and thence by the mail train this morning. As Lord JOHN RUSSELL was on his way from Edinburgh to London on Tuesday, in obedience to her MAJESTY'S commands, he met at Normanton station Mr. COBDEN and Mr. BRIGHT, who were just halting there for a few minutes. This accidental circumstance, the coming together of the men of the people, is we hope the omen of a still closer alli ance. LORD JoHN RussELL.—His Lordship had not arrived at his town residence at two o'clock this afternoon, but his arrival was looked for every hour from Osborne House, Isle of Wight, where his Lord ship:has been staying since yesterday afternoon, on a visit to the Queen. Mr. Francis Baring (Chancellor of the Exchequer under Lord Melbourne's Administration) has arrived in town. THE LORD CHANCELLOR.—It is generally under stood that the principal Registrar of the Court of Chancery attended the Lord Chancellor to-day, at his house, George-street, Hanover-square, when his Lordship made orders in all the cases that were de pending before him for judgment, preparatory to re signing the Great Seal. The Earl of Lauderdale, we are gratified to learn, is rapidly regaining his health, after his severe indisposition. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was steady : sales 6,000 bales, all to the trade. There was an improving business for shares, prices were generally firmer, and a large business would have been done but for the political excite ment.

Bank Stock is 200 to 201. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 94 1 4 to %, and the Three per Cents. 92 1 4 to %. On Exchequer-bills the premium is 21s. to 235.

The following communication has been received at Lloyd's : "Admiralty, Dec. 10, 1845. " Sir,—l am commanded by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to transmit to you, for the information of the Committee for managing the affairs at Lloyd's, extracts of the journal of the Admiralty agent, attached to the Penin sular Contract Packet Madrid, respecting_ the waterlogged wreck seen from that vessel o n th e 23d November and sth instant.

Extract from the log of the Madrid, Peninsular Contract Packet : "SUNDAY, Nov. 23, 3 p.m.—Observed the wreck of a large ship, with her masts gone, and waterlogged. No head nor quarter galleries, with painted ports—about 500 tons." "FRIDAY, Mcc. 5, AT 8.15 P.M.—Observed a wreck of a large vessel, without any masts, bearing S S.E., and the Island of Siagrees S.

During: the present week the arrivals of English Wheat for our market have been good ; hence the show of samples of that article here was on the increase. As the dealers re frained from purchasing, except on lower terms, the demand for all descriptions was heavy, at almost nominal figures. Very little free Wheat was brought forward, yet the sale was unusually heavy, at barely late rates. Corn, under lock, as a mere drug. The best parcels of Barley were quite as dear, but other kinds were lower. The show of Malt was moderate, while the call for it was heavy, on somewhat easier terms. Although the supply of Oats was small, that articla sold slowly, and prices were with difficulty supported. Beans, Peas, and Flour excessively dull. English . . Irish ........ Foreign .. • ...

Although the supply of Beasts here was extensive, the Beef trade, arising from the large attendance of buyers, was somewhat active, and, in some instances, an advance of 2d per 81bs was obtained for the primest Scots. There were on sale 70 Beasts,: 80 Sheep, and 7 Calves from Holland and Germany. The numbers of Sheep were again small, yet the demand for them was again inactive, at barely Monday's quotations.

Ballad en tertained the company with several of their humourectne songs, and at a late hour the party separated, highly delighted with the entertainments of the evening. POLLS' COURT.-(THIS DA -3,7.) LORD NELSON V. LARD BRIDPORT. Mr. PAL➢IER resumed his arguments, which were com menced yesterday, and which were directed chiefly to wards substantiating the case of the appellant from the wording of the will of tioratia Lord Nelson. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) His Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England took un opposed petitions and short causes to-day, none of which possessed any points of public interest. (Before Vice-Chancellor KNIGHT BRUCE.) IN RE FERRER'S GRAMMAR SCHOOL. This case came before his Honour on petition praying a reference to the Master to consider the propriety of extending the system of education pursued there to in struction in the Latin and Greek languages and all the branches usually taught in commercial academies. The foundation of the charity, situated in Tewlutsbury, dates so far back as James the First ; it received a cl.arter from William the Third i❑ 1698, but up to the present time the system of education pursued has not advanced with the necessities of the age. His Honour referred it to the Master to inquire whether extension would be beneficial, and what systfm should be adopted, and whether any alteration should be made in the right and mode of admission to the charity, and in the continuance in the school. (Before Vice Chancellor WIGRAX.) DYKES V. FARR. This case has been twice argued, and came on•the second time this morning for judgment. The facts of it are shortly these :—Mr. Dykes, in 177 g, being married to Susan Farr, made a settlement that, in case of the wife's death, her dower, 1,5001., and 500/. more, in all, 2,0001., should revert to Mr. Farr, her father, or his representatives. About twenty years after Mr. and Mrs. Dykes s being both alive, they executed a new deed of settlement, by which it seems to have been their intention to render the deed of the previous date void; but the means they took to bar the sum of 2,000/. in the first deed, by raising a new sum of 2,000/. dif ferently apportioned, failed in point of legal form. This second deed, in consideration of certain rights held by Mrs. Dykes being surrendered to Mr. Dykes during his lifetime, after that gave the reversion in favour of the next of kin of the wife. It so happened, that the represenia tire of Farr entitled to claim wader the first deed, is also the next of kin to Mrs. Dykes, and entitled to come in under the second. This his Honour remarked, in giving judgment, had no power to alter the effect of the deeds, whatever that might be. His Hoxoun, on the former hearing, ordered the 2,000/. levied by the first deed to be raised without prejudice to the sum levied in the second. The cause to stand over. It was argued again at the instance of Mrs. Dyke's representatives claiming under the second deed. In giving judgment on the effeet of that deed, after going through the points of his judgment on the first hearing, his Honour said the only observation he had to offer was, that the intention of the parties appeared to be, that the estates of Dykes should be cleared from the sum of 2,0001., which would have gone to the representatives of Farr, and to raise a second sum of 2,0001. in favour of the representatives of Mrs. Dykes. The steps taken to clear the estates of the husband were not matter for the consideration of the wife, who had left nothing undone on her part to effect the object; it was for the husband to consider what steps should be taken for the purpose, The question, then, had now come on to be considered, after the death of both, which occurred so long a time after the deed had been executed, and after so great a lapse of years since their death, whether the wife's re presentatives were to be barred of all advantage because the husband not taken the proper steps. His Honour said the suit had failed. Coats were reserved on account of an intimation of in , tendon on the part of the plaintiffs to move for a new trial SECONDARIES.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.) SHAW V. FRIDAY. This was an action brought by Mr. Shaw, solicitor, of Fish-street llill, against the defendant, Thomas Friday, steward on board a Gravesend steamer, for 161. 13s. 4d., the amount of a bill of costs. Mr. Parry appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Thomas for the defendant. It appeared that two actions had been brought for the defendant against parties for money lent, and for rent due, in support of which two clerks of the plaintiff's were called, and gave evidence as to the nature of the business, but prevaricated very much in cross-examina tion. Mr. THOMAS, for the defence, urged the want of evi dence as to a retainer, and gross overcharge in the account in various items, and commented upon the un satisfactory manner one of the clerks gave his evidence, having deposed, in the first instance, that he had at tended himself on certain occasions, and afterwards denying having done so. The Learned SECONDARY, in summing up, pointed out various items in the bill as exorbitant, and in several cases considered 3s. 4d. quite sufficient where 6s. Bd. was charged. The jury, after being locked up for some time, re turned a verdict for the defendant. LORD MAYOR'S COURT. (THIS DAY.) (Before the RECORDER and a Common Jury.) GIBBON V. GOWDIE—GODWIN GARNISHEE. This was an attachment issued at the instance of the plaintiff to attach and recover the sum of 851. 13s. 11d. due from the defendant to the plaintiff. Mr. Ryland and Mr. Laurie appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Randall for the garnishee. The defendant formerly resided in this country during which time he contracted the debt in question, and shortly after left for Sydney, where he now resides, Mr. Godwin, a merchant in the City, the garnishee in the present case acting as his agent, the plaintiff ascertaining that he held a sum of money in hand belonging to the defendant, made an affidavit of the defendant, and took the effective measures peculiar to the ancient practice of this Court, being the only city in England, with the exception of the city of York, that is invested with the power of attaching money in the hands of a third party, at a time when a defendant is not residing within e jurisdiction of this or any of the 11 ii superior Courts a Vestminster. Mr. LAURIE haA‘ lg opened the pleadings, Mr. RYLAND said it unnecessary further to trouble the jury, as he understood the parties agreed to consent to a verdict. Mr. RANDALL said he appeared for Mr. Godwin, the garnishee, and he was instructed to consent to a verdict for 85/ 13s. 11d. A verdict for the plaintiff for that amount was then taken. LITTLE AND OTHERS V. CLINTON. Mr. LAURIE applied to the Court to fix ihe day for hearing arguments upon the exceptions filed to the answer of the defendant to a bill of discovery, filed in aid of an action commenced by the plaintiffs, money brokers, at New York, against th e U n i on B an k of London, to attach the sum of 2,0001., deposited by the defendant with them, and which, it is alleged, formed part of a sum of 4,500/, stated by the plaintiffs to have been obtained by the defendant, Clinton, from them by means of a forged order, and with the proceeds of which he ab sconded from America to this country. After some conversation, The RECORDER appointed the 9th of January to hear the arguments of counsel, and intimated, if it should be come necessary, he would also sit on the following day. FLANDERS MAIL. BRUSSELS, DEC. 10.—The average price of wheat in the week endirig on Saturday, the 6th of December, was 23f. 92c., and that of Rye 17f. 11c. The Chamber of Representatives has continued to-day the debate on the project of law relative to the free en trepots. Many Members spoke for and against the law. M.d'Elhoursque proposed two amendments, to which the Government did not accede. The Chamber proceeded slowly in theTdebate on this law. A great number of Members, without systematically opposing the creation of such establishments, refuse, and will continue to refuse, their assent till it shall be clearly proved to them that these entrcptits can neither favour fraud nor seriously injure the national industry (naanu -factures). The objection of fraud has been completely answered, and will probably not be brought forward again. The opponents see in these vast depots only a favour granted to commerce, but merchants care little what they sell or what they buy, provided that they find them advantageous in their dealing. In the desire to protect manufactures, some persons forget that a measure, to be really of public utility, ought not to favour one branch of the prosperity of the country at the expense of another, and that the most useful and happy result is, when it is beneficial to all the branches of the national prosperity. We learn that, on the complaint of the Ambassador of France, a seizure has been commenced of the copies of a pamphlet printed in this city, and for which the author has been condemned in France. The work is directed ' against the Orleans family. The official part of the Moniteur publishes the names of those persons belonging to the ceded portion of Lune burg and Luxemburg, who have made the declaration authorised by the law of 20th May, 1845, to regain the quality of Belgium. The list fills seven pages of the journal. BELGIAN FUNDS.—BarssELs, DEC. 10.

He was loading his fowling piece for the purpose of firing at a pigeon, when he acci dentally struck the trigger of the gun, which discharged a portion of the shot into his left cheek, and seriously injured his eye. THE PRIZE CATTLE-SHONt.a, His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridgeye ste fii honoured this exhibition with a visit, arriving s' fo Bazaar, accompanied by Baron Knesebeck, short eleven o'clock. • The Duke of Richmond, as D ee of the Club, was in attendance, to receive his Ill;,, Highness. After the usual salutations, the Royal D A „' accompanied by the Noble President, Mr. T. Bssewiti Gibbs, the honorary secretary, and Mr. Bulneisf 0 proprietor of the Bazaar, proceeded to inspet, el various animals. The first pointed out to the n°t ;of his Royal Highness, as a matter of course, Wa s t '" eti fed by Prince Albert, after having examined the 1 )° , 1 1 of which, and pronounced due compliments on his Ihi , nephew's success, the party proceeded through thel ,s 1 bition in the order prescribed by the catalogue. The is Duke expressed his regret on learning from Mr. Glb be e rr the Mike of Rutland's short-horned steer had bea t° . is dentally prevented from reaching the show in tim e n f till included in the competition, and also that the hes t s oto Earl of Warwick's beasts bad fallen lame just prethsili its transmission to London.

Mr. Trinder's b e ' t e, milk white animal) is, perhaps, one of the mos s , ill,' beasts in the yard ; indeed, this fact is borne e ll ' o t! gold medal having been awarded to it as the best ; tIIS heifer. While his Royal Highness was exanlielir animal, the owner had the honour to submit fo r Oil° spection a very beautiful model of the same Di 01 0 wax, executed for Lord Sherborne, by a yot'ng esit i '; named Walter. After taking the circuit of OL D O s yard, his Royal Highness walked round the s°7 2 eiu: pig-pans, and the implement gallery ; and s ubsecl o f 0 thanking the Duke of Richmond and the officie s a rts i ' club for their obliging attention, took his u e r , shortly before one o'clock. s ter 4 The exhibition was much more crowded ielssi/ than on the previous day, and last evening:o,od' matter of some difficulty to wade through the ,Y. c h r; withstanding the excellent arrangements "'oed s ' veiled.
