But lithe has as yet transpired relative to the Proceedings of Lord JqiiN RussaLL in the forma tion of his Administration. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE, Lords COTTENHAM, PALMERSTON, CLARENDON, and Mr. MACAULAY, had interviews with Lord JOHN RUSSELL in the course of yesterday, and no doubt is entertained of their form ing part of the new arrangements. ROBERT PEEL and his late colleagues; and, in his audience of to-day, he will probably lay before her MAJESTY the necessity of his being exactly informed of the nature and extent of the support which will be given, him by the leading members of the late Cabinet. It is clear that if Sir ROBERT PEEL and the Duke of WELLINGTON could have agreed to propose a repeal of the corn-laws themselves, they would probably have been able to gain the consent of the House of Lords, which, without their support, Lord JOHN RUSSELL can never hope to do, but which, with their support (though on this point there may be a differ ence of opinion), Lord JOAN RUSSELL may be even better able to effect than they could effect it for them selves. Their support, however, will be necessary to him. 3 Andj it will not do to trust to Sir ROBERT PEEL'S genero,ity or sense of political honour. We know, from past experience, how lightly he holds the " responsibilities of opposition." Place and ppwer may have no charms for him while he has them ; but, somehow or other, when he has them not, he acts as if their attractions were all powerful. The brief interregnum which succeeds the resig nation of a Ministry, is a period fraught with interest to all. A universal excitement pervades the vast community; each individual seems electrified by the sudden shock. Every passing rumour becomes matter of importance ; all are on the qui rice to ob tain the earliest information. Setting aside the flies which gather round the honey, the numerous par tisans who seek for place, who watch every turn and movement of the new Minister, as though life and death depended upon him—setting these aside, there is a party which looks on with deep and earnest atten tion, which scans each act and weighs each decision with an impartial mind. The great body of the people look to the new Ministry with anxiety. To whom is a Government of such interest as to those whom it is to govern ? Few changes of Administration have aroused public attention like the present ; all feel that this is no common change, there is more in it than meets the eye. Those who have watched the signs of the times have long felt that a new era of government was at hand. England is not now what she was a hundred years back ; intelligence has progressed at railway speed ; the minds of the multitude are no longer the same, yet their short-sighted rulers have preserved old restrictions, and sought to confine the energy and industry of the present day in the narrow limits of bygone times. The dissensions of Whigs and Tories have prevented either from benefiting the people, while all who have had the opportunity have bene fited themselves. It was evident that all this could not continue long; a change has been for some time gradually progressing, and now the climax is at hand. Last session we saw, not the fusion of parties for their common benefit, but the co-operation of opponents for the in terest of the country. The close of the year brings a new Ministry, whose advent is regarded with anxiety and with hope. If the Tories could preach conciliation to Ireland, and mitigate taxes, and set an example of toleration, what shall we not expect from the Liberal party, who are to succeed them in offic e ? These conside rations increase the general excitement, and the anxiety to learn the names of the new Ministers. This day Lord JOHN RUSSELL goes to the QUEEN, it is presumed, to take her pleafure upon the ap pointments which he may advise her to sanction. We see no reason to vary any of the announce ments we have already made, and we believe that our information for the two last days will be found to be correct in the main. Si. DENIS LB MARCHANT left town last night for Maidenhead. The following appeared in our Third Edition o Last Night : Lord JOHN RUSSELL has been actively engaged, since his arrival ; in town this afternoon, in the arrangements which the formation of his Ministry render necessary. Lord COTTENHAM had an interview with Lord Jons RUSSELL shortly after he arrived. SiTDENIS LE MARCHANT, Secretary to the Treasury when the MELBOURNE Administration went out of office, has been in constant communication with Lord JOHN this afternoon. He is acting as confidential amanuensis is the new Premier. The opinion gains ground that no dissolution will take place until Lord JoaN finds obstruction to his measures in the Commons, in which case an imme diate dissolution will follow. We are assured on the best authority, that the statements of yesterday, that the late Cabinet had never decided to repeal the corn-laws and that Sir ROBERT PEEL was all through opposed by a majority of his colleagues, are totally incorrect. On Wednesday of last week the Duke of WELLING TON consented to Sir ROBERT PEEL'S views : after the Cabinet Council _of Thursday the Duke went to Strathfieldsaye, and on Friday " a change came o'er the spirit of his dream." The change of intention was communicated to Sir ROBERT PEEL, who there fore on Saturday apprised her MAJESTY of his own resignation. But for the Duke of WELLINGTON'S revoking his consent, the object of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S visit to Osborne House on the Saturday would have been to take her MAJESTY'S pleasure as to successors to the seceding members of the Cabinet Lord STANLEY, Lord WHARNCLIPFB, Lord RIPON, and the Duke of BuccLßucg. Lord JOHN RUSSELL and his friends will return to power :under some of the most favourable circum stances that ever fell to the lot of candidates for office, and what adds to the happy coincidence, these circumstances arise not from accident ; they are the results of wise and patriotic conduct on the part of the late,. Opposition, and the deliberate spon taneous act of the Conservatives themselves. No men ever came with better characters from their last places of service than RUSSELL and Co. During the whole of the PEEL Administration, not one factious motion, according to the best of our recollection, was made—no party spirit was displayed, either in the Houses of Commons or,Lords, or at any 'Whig meetings throughout the country. Never had any Minister a fairer trial than Sir ROBERT PEEL. The only anxiety manifested on the Opposition benches was , that his good measures might succeed ; and, with the exception of the amended corn-law, they were all of that character. The Liberals cared not for the honour and glory usually accompany ing generous and successful plans, though the best plans of Sir ROBERT PEEL were stolen from them ;—they were anxious only for their success, and with a spirit: of high principle, hitherto unknown on the benches of :the Opposition, they preferred the real interests of the nation, the peace of Ireland, and the promotion of free-trade measures, to the selfish advantages of places and pensions. Never was any conduct more noble than theirs on the Maynooth question. They believed it to be a necessary, a just, and a conciliatory Bill, and casting to the winds their own popularity with the Dissenting body, regardless of the hostility of their best friends, and risking even their seats in Parliament, they remained steadfast in their purpose and left the consequences to the tide of events. They looked with contempt even on that portion of the Whig press which sup ported them on every other point, and which had been advocates, too, of this very measure, but which vilely betrayed its principles with the hope of gain, and vainly endeavoured to drag its patrons with it through the miry path of infamy. Such patriotic firmness in a good cause has earned for the leaders of the new Ministry imperishable honour, and tl - ey now reap their just reward; for even the bitterest Tory, rendered savage by the downfal of his friends, cannot lay to the charge of Lord JOHN RUSSELL or any of his party one act of factious opposition. Need we contrast this scene with what occurred towards the close of the MELBOURNE Administration, when the vilest calum nies were propagated at Tory meetings, when the clergy themselves, forgetting their sacred character, their usual devotion to the Throne, and all regard to truth, reviled their young and innocent Sovereign, and denounced her Ministers as traitors to their country and QUEEN. But " wisdom is justified of her children," and the backbiters have had their re ward. They have not been turned out by the Whigs—on the contrary the Whigs did every thing in their power to aid them in the Government of the country, but they found themselves unequal to the task, and gave up the helm in despair, because they could no longer fight under false colours, and steer the crazy vessel to a place of safety. corn-laws while there was yet time. It is now evi dent that Sir R. PEEL was not to blame. Like an experienced pilot, he loided his time, and was prepared to seize his advantage, but found himself unable to manage his vessel ; it would no longer answer the helm, Sir ROBERT was defeated and resigned, because he was unable to repeal the corn -laws ! Truly his brightest moments were his last I The same opportunity is now offered to Lord Jorna RUSSELL ; the flood-tide is ready to bear him on to fortune, if he seize the flood tide. The old days of party restrictions are gone by ; it is not enough to send alone for those who once formed a Cabinet of Whigs. If Lord Jonx would indeed be Minister, and a Minister worthy of the age, he must act in accordance with the desires of the people, and act in a free and impartial spirit. On this principle he must choose his col. leagues. 1841 beheld the downfal of the Whigs; 1845 saw the destruction of the Tories ; may 1846 witness a Ministry, call itself by what name it will, free from the trammels of party prejudice, and de termined to follow a bold, vigorous, and liberal policy. Called to rule over all, may it act not for a class but for the nation. If last session Lord 'TORN supported his opponents in legislating for the good of Ireland, will he not this year go further and ad minister entire justice to the sister country. She de mands no more. One of the first measures of the new Government must be to repeal the corn-laws, to unloose the bonds of industry, and give full scope to free trade next session. One of the Tory papers ob serves, " the work of ruin will commence." It will be glorious ruin in truth, the destruction of monopoly and class legislation. A QUARTER OF A MILLION FOR THE LEAGUE. We are delighted to hear, from a quarter upon which we place the utmost reliance, that the Anti- Corn-law Leagu?, so far from relaxing in its efforts by the probably near consummation of the triumph of free-trade principles, is determined to make assur ance doubly 'sure by re-doubling its exertions, its means, and its diligence. With this object, the Council of the League have determined to raise A QUARTER OF A MILLION-TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND rouNDs—to be applied in furtherance of the grand object of free-trade. Th• Council have determined wisely. Under the guidance of such men as COBDEN, money entrusted to them will be faith • fully, usefully, and honestly expended ; whilst by providing for every possible contingency, and holding their proud position, alike undaunted by difficulty or intoxicated by success, they render it out of the power of any Ministry to avoid grantiag full and entire freedom of trade, and abolition of all restrictions upon the food of the people. A special meeting of the Essex Agricultural Pro tection Society was held yesterday at Chelmsford, in a room at the Saracen's Head Hotel. As might have been expected, the speakers vied with each other in their denunciations of Sir ROBERT PEEL, and Sir JOHN TYRRELL announced that the future leaders of the monopolists would be the Duke of WELLINGTON, Lord STANLEY, Lord WHARNCLIFFE, Lord GRAN VILLE SOMERSET, and Mr. S. HERBERT. Resolutions pledging the meeting to maintain the present system of protection, and placing a sum of 2,000/. at the dis posal of the committee were agreed to, and after giving three groans for Sir R. Pner., the meeting sepa rated. We rejoice rather than otherwise at seeing the Protection Societies coming out in this way ; these meetings act as drains to " the great agri cultural mind," enabling it to get rid of a vast quantity of its "nonsense ;" and immense was the quantity of "nonsense" drained off at Chelms ford yesterday. For instance, a Mr COPLAND, in moving the first resolution, made use of the following expressions—" What did the manu facturers say ? That free trade would reduce corn to such a price that the English producer would not be able to grow it." Now, pray you, good Mr. COPLAND, in what year of our LORD did all this happen ? When and where did any manufacturer (meaning thereby, as you evidently mean a free-trader); when and where did any ad vocate for free trade say that free trade would reduce corn to such a price that the English producer would not be able to grow it? Again, the Rev. Mr. SMITHERS, quoting from Mr. CAYLEY, said, tin. t "So far from the landed proprietors being the originators of the corn-laws for the support of their rents, those laws had been originated by the opponents of the agricultural interest that more than 800 years ago the first corn-law was established to prevent farmers exporting to the Continent, where they could obtain a higher price for their pro duce than at home. That law continued in force for nearly 350 years. The next law was made to prevent farmers exporting woul, and that was for the benefit of the manufacturers at home. Some time afterwards the population having considerably increased, and the cultivation of the land having gone on, there was a greater demand for wheat in Eng land than on the Continent, and a great quantity of it began to pour into the country, to the injury of the agriculturists, and they in consequence requested protection from its influx, for the purpose of giving them compensation for the loss they sustained in not being allowed to export wool." Now, we should be glad to know who, 800 years ago, were the opponents of the "1 anded proprietors," who esta blished the first corn law according to Mr. SMITHERS, and how they came to be able to make these laws, seeing that 800 years ago the landed aristocracy monopolised all the power of the country. We are obliged, however, to Mr. SMITHERS for the imformation that the protection against the influx of foreign corn was accorded to the agriculturists for the purpose of giving them compensation for the loss they sus tained in not being allowed to export wool, because, as they now possess the right to export wool, it is but fair that they should give up the compensation. The Rev. Gentleman, in the course of his speech, repeated the fal lacy—that the corn-laws were beneficial to the la bourer by keeping up his wages; and in the same breath gave as one of the grounds entitling the farmer to protection that he had to contend, if he could, in the labour market with the railroad contractor, who gave as wages 15s. a-week. We have it, there fore, on the authority of the Rev. Mr. SMITHERS, that in the county of Essex the labourer cannot earn 15s. a-week as an agricultural labourer, because the pro• tected farmer cannot afford to give such high wages which the unprotected railway contractor can and does. What then becomes of the theory of protection raising wages ? We hope that these Protec tion Societies will hold public meetings in every county in England. The speakers at them cannot open their mouths without making some admissions fatal to the cause of monopoly. They are the most useful allies the League has ever had, and were the Rev. Mr. SMITHERS and his coadjutors paid anti corn-law lecturers, they could not do the League work more effectually. The QUEEN returns to Windsor to-morrow, as we announced yesterday. _ Brookes' and the Reform Club are all alive, and the mustering of Liberal Members in Londo n is al ready great, whilst the Carlton and Conservative Club, are gloomy, and all parties of Tories grumbling at each o' her. It is obviously of the first importance that Lord J. RUSSELL should be in possession of the exact views and intentions of the late Premier—should know to what lengths he had himself been prepared to go on the corn-law question—whether he will support Lord JonN in a measure of entire repeal, how many of his colleagues will do the same, and what number of his Parliamentary followers may be expected to go with him—should know, also, what course will be taken by the Duke of WELLINGTON in the House of Lords, before he undertakes to relieve Sir ROBERT PEEL from difficulties which, after all, are of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S creation. We have no doubt, therefore, that Lord JOUR RUSSELL is now waiting for more ex plicit information as to the future policy of Sir Madrid journals of the sth have been received, bu we find nothing in them of any interest to the Eng. lish reader. On the Bourse the Three per Cents. were some what lower on the .sth, closing at 36i, at 60 days; twelve millions done. Five per Cents., 24k, at 60 days ; four millions done. Exchange on London, 36i. The Paris papers are chiefly occupied with the dismissal of M. BAUDON, the Receiver-General of the Seine-Inferiure, and a royal ordonnance for re modelling the Council of the University. M. BAU DON is President of the company formed to offer for the Paris and Lyons Railway, and has been dismissed from his lucrative situation, according to report, for having amalgamated with other companies, in place of making a separate tender, as became a servant of the Crown, and thereby creating a fair competition for the benefit of the State. The Opposition journals blame the Government for what they consider ata act of great severity, while it cannot be denied that by this wholesale fusion, patronised by the Receiver-General, the expense of the work will be greatly increased. "There is a tide in the affairs of men Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune." Mr. COBDEN remarked at a recent free-trade meet ing, that Sir R. PEED had missed the flood-tide that would have led him on to fortune—that he had lost the golden opportunitf.by neglecting, to repeal the THE SUN, LONDON, SATUtIDAY EVENING, nEtrivißEß, 13, 1845. . HUM ANN, Receiver-General of the Bas Rhine, succeeds him. The object of the ordonnance for the re-organization of the University is to place the system of education more immediately under the influence of the Government, and prevent such crotchety men as M. QUINET from quarrelling with the Minister of Public Instruction. The royal de cree orders—" That the Council of the Uni versity shall resume its constitution, as established by the organic decree of March 17, 1808 ; that it shall take the title of Royal Council of the University ; that the Vice-President of the said Council shall unite to that title that of Chancellor of the University; the Councillor who exercises provisionally the functions of the secretary of the Council shall assume definitively the title of Secretary-General of the Royal Council of the University ; the Inspectors-General of Studies shall resume the title of Inspector's General of the Univer sity; the branch of primary instruction shall he directly represented in the Royal Council of the University." Baron TnEsIARD, Peer of France, and Vice-President of the Council of the University, has been appointed Chancellor. The Journal des Debuts contains an article on the reform made in the English Tariff by Sir ROBERT that the F renc h Mi n i s t r y ple. Thi s p ro b a bl y i s a w P , E il E l L ii , n a i n ta d te ex th p e res g s o e o s d a e h x o a p arn feeler put forth by the Government for a discussion of the question in the ensuing session, with a view to abate the evils of prohibitive duties in France. The Government journal thus concludes its remarks on the subject :-- Far be it from us to cal for so general a reform of our tariffs, and to pretend to apply at once such a prin ciple of absolute freedom to analogous articles amongst us. The interests of our agriculture and of our home market are justly too predominant, and are entitled to too much consideration, to allow such a measure to be precipitately introduced. It would be still more rash to extend it to tropical produce, such as sugar, coffee, and tobacco, articles essentially taxable from their very nature, and which afford to the Treasury most precious resources. Hero the question of political economy is mixed up with that of financial interest, end the first law of the for mer is never to depriae the State of a branch of revenue be fore it has provided for its replacement from the other re sources at its disposal. But if those articles, the con sumption of which throw the duty on the wealthier classes only, are not to be thought of, it is easy to compre hend that it is indispensablefor the future prospects of our manufactures that the raw material should as 'rapidly as possible reach the hand of the fabricator at a cheap rate, that is, exempt of all charge. This truth, exceedingly simple in appearance, and yet which has been only prac tised of late, ought to enter into the spirit of our tariffs. That woidel be, besides, to remain faithful to our pre. virus acts—to be consistent, for if the present state of our customs' regulations be 'compared with what they were twenty years back, it will Le seen that great im provement has been made in alleviating the tariffs. Much, however, still remains to be effected." The King came to Paris on Wednesday, and held a Council of Ministers, at which he presided. The session of the States of Bavaria was opened on the 6th with a speech from the throne, in which the King expressed his great satisfaction at the calm and prudent conduct of his subjects in a time of excitement and agitation, and declared his warm attachment to them, and his confidence that the relations between the throne and the nation would be indissoluble.
