Nothing positive his yet been done in the way of ter. niinating the Ministerial crisis in the French Repub. lic. Overtures, it is true, are being made with cor diality to various eminent individuals in succession— the PRESIDENT evincing every readiness to conciliate the belligerent politicians, without, however, in any ma nn er betraying a weak concession t o th e ir auda city. Little, of course, can be predicted with any confidence as to the mode in which Louis NAPOLEON will ultimately bring the crisis to a termination.

SilvfoOd' is no ordinary work ;it contains pas sa g es of exceed- g kg beauty, and is written in pure and forcible language, with great T J_JAMARTINE. Rumours of all kinds have naturally yowl taste and power. It is one of the most interesting and en gaging novels which the present season has produced. Of the cha- been afloat in consequence ; among which we have meter of Amelia Ross we have already spoken, and the extract we have given above is the surest voucher of the truth of wh at we have been assured very confidentially tha t , in answer to said. The other ladies who play conspicuons parts in the tale are the application made to M. DE LAMARTINE by the Florence Howard, an intellectual beauty; Jessie Gordon, a wild and impulsive genius, passionately fond of music and poetry ; and Julia PRESIDENT to the effect that he should undertake Maitland, the noblest and best of them all." —Morning Post. the construction of a Cabinet, the illustrious Richard Bentley, New Burlington-street. statesman replied that he could not undertake to do so upon any other condition than that a measure should at once be introduced for the revocation of the elec toral law—a proviso most comprehensible, coming as it does from the lips of the author of that memorable decree which gave to France the prerogatives of uni versal suffrage. While assuring the Prince that such must absolutely be the understanding arrived at be tween them, prior to the formation of any Ministry of the kind proposed,M. DE LAMARTINE, with a magnani mous self-abnegation singularly characteristic of his genius, acknowledged that to his mind nothing could by possibility be more impolitic than the selection of himself as the person to be en trusted at present with Ministerial responsibilities. His personal influence he confessed to be so strangely deteriorated on all hands in the Legislative Assembly that he could look for little sympathy either from the Right or the Left, from the Centre or the Mountain of the Legislature. The avowal, we say, was emi nently characteristic of the, self-abnegation of LA MARTINE, and, at the same moment, was a sort of voluntary expiation for what some have regarded as his diseased vanity and his insatiable thirst for popu larity. Fallen from his lofty position as one of the most influential statesmen on the continent, deprived of that prestige which at one period invested him with the irresponsible authority of Dictatorship, LA MARTINE has a patriotism so sound and impartial that he comes forward spontaneously to advocate the interests of Louis NAPOLEON when the Prince is being deserted by almost all of his pretended par , tisans, and a magnanimity so generous and compre hensive as to set aside the allurements of office rather than eid in any manner in multiplying present embarrassments. Meanwhile it should not be forgotten that the great statesman above alluded to has, throughout these transactions, had to deal with a man as noble in his temperament as himself, as patriotic in his ambition, end as magnanimous in his character. Since the period of his eleeatiLn to the supreme rank of Repub lican President, Louis NarDe. EON has shown himself in every way wort'esy of the respect of the nation by which he has been chosen as its chief magistrate. His acts have been most consis tently in accordance with his professions. His oaths :have been preserved inviolably. his demeanour has in all respects been befitting the head of a great democracy, the elected of six millions of French men. Without any affectation of eloquence or sententiousness, his speeches upon all public occasions have been conceived in the happiest mood imaginable, sagacious in their style, moderate in their tendency, and dignified in their utterance. Many and various, however, as are the claims possessed by Louis NeroLmose on our admi ration for his conduct during upwards of two years of his Presidency, not one incident as yet recorded of him throughout the whole of that period can be men tioned as at all comparable to his recent treatment of the Assembly and his noble and heroic reply to M. DUPIN, its President. It will net be speedily lost to the general remembrance, that when M. DUPIN inti mated to Louis NAPOLEON the intention of the Assembly to surround itself with an army of 50,000 men, in the event of the dismissal of CHANGARNIER, the Prince replied in a tone of dignity and self-poss ession—" If the Assembly ventures upon that act of suspicion, I shall follow it up by an act of confidence ; if the Assembly sur rounds itself with an army of 50,000 men, I will dis miss even the sentinels of my palace, the citizens of the capital shall be any defenders, I will walk through the streets of Paris in plain clothes and without attendants !" Noble and chivalric language—language worthy of having fallen even from the lips of the EMPEROR. While such continues to be the policy of the Prince Louis NAPOLEON, he may set at open de fiance the trickeries of TRIERS, the treason of BEE. RYER, and the arrogant ambition of CHANGARNIER, relying upon those generous impulses of the French character which create the national sympathy for whatever is heroic in its bearing or tendency. Especially may such be his reliance on the future, while among the list of the contemporary statesmen of the Republic can be recognised the name of such an one as the poet-administrator, LAMARTINE. We had hoped that the theological poriion of VI, marriages affinity question had been finally disposed of. The discussion had been already carried on both in and out of Parliament usque ad nauseam, and the stale and unfounded pretext of " a Scriptural prohi bition" had been long since formally abandoned by the most strenuous advocates for the continuance of the existing restriction. During the debates last session the case was argued simply on the point of " social inexpediency." It was really too absurd for any per son possessing the slightest knowledge of the prin ciples relating to the correct interpretation of disputed passages to affirm that there was any prohibition, express or implied, against such connexions con tained in the Mosaic law. The 18th chap ter of Leviticus is the portion of the Peatateuch chiefly relating to the subject—we say chiefly, because it is from it that the objectors endea vour to support their singularly distorted views. They rely cn the 16th and 18 verses. Some persons have had the folly and audacity to assert that the 18th verse contains a direct commandment on the sub ' ject. Never was there a greater piece of absur dity ; the text is, indeed, decisive, but it is a powerful and unequivocal authority on the other side, and conclusive as to the propriety of such marriages. It enacts a certain law for a limited period, and it gives the very reason why that provision is made. In that it differs from almost every other rule laid down in the code of laws deli vered by MosEs to the Jewish nation. The rule, whatever it may be, is generally laid down broadly, but no cause is assigned to sa• tisfy the people as to its policy or expediency. It is, however, different in the present instance. And we may easily believe that it appeared necessary to the inspired lawgiver to show why it is that he forbids a practice that had been adopted even by 'slum, himself, the patriarch and founder, and common progenitor of the whole nation. " Neither shall thou take a wife to her sister to vex her . . . besides the other in her lifetime." Here 1 there is the time during which the prohibition is continued, the lifetime of the first wife. A clearer permission to marry after that time could not be produced. If a penalty or civil disability were im posed upon a party during the existence of particular circumstances the moment these circumstances were changed the prohibition falls to the ground, an d the party is remitted to his original and natural r o lawd , f a r polygamy 7,rights, whatever they might be. Be fore thise party might marry his wife's sister at any p as sanctioned and tole rated. JACOB did so , and it was found to be incon venient and attended wit h evil ; therefore, in order to prevent similar annoyance, it was forbidden by the i scendant o r be suppos e d to have sympa thised with the the neglected LEA H, who mi g ht sufferings and heartburnings of his afflicted ances tress. " Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister to vex h er ." If the first wife were removed by de ath, if her worldly cares and sorrows had for ever termi nated, how could she " b on be vexed" by any subsequent act of her quondam partner ?

" The sixteenth verse," says the Reverend Doctor, " forbids a man to marry his deceased brother's wi dow, and, by parity of reason, it forbids him to marry his deceased wife's sister,—the marriages are both in cestous." Now we most distinctly and positively deny that it forbids marriage with the brother's widow ; it applies only to an illicit connexion during the life-time of the brother. By the 25th Deuteronomy, v. 5, such a mar riage is expressly directed. If the first husband leave no children, the widow is forbidden to marry without unto a stranger. The husband's brother " shall take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of a husband's brother unto her ;" and there is a direct punishment to be inflicted on him, if he " like not to take his brother's wife." The widow should spit in his face, and " loose his shoe from off his foot," and (v. 10) " his name shall be called in Israel the house of him that hath his shoe loosed." Is it not ridiculous to say that there is a prohibition against that which is ex pressly commanded by another part of the same law ? The "parity of reason," therefore, falls to the ground, and with it the argument of the Rev. Dr. PUSEY and his devoted admirers. We owe some apology to our readers for touching on this point. The Rev. Pre bendary GRAY, Warden of Queen's College, Birmingham (aided and abetted by the Rev. Mr. MACKENZIE, of the Scotch Church), thought proper to revive it ; and although we might safely leave these gentlemen to our esteemed correspondent " ALFRED," who, in a letter which will be found in another part of this day's impression, has administered a well-merited castigation, which they, or either of them, will not speedily forget, we feel too deep an interest in the greatest question of civil and religious liberty yet unsettled, to pass the matter sub silentio. We trust that a reasoning and intelligent people will not again be mocked by having such wretched stuff, such effete bleating, addressed to their understandings as substantial. It is really too bad. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Ministbrial crisis continues. The Ordre contains the following statement of what passed between the PRESIDENT of the Republic and M. ODILON BAREOT during their interview GE Tuesday : " M. Odilon Barrot had the honour to see the Presi dent of the Republic, and in a general conversation opened to him frankly and respectfully the conditions upon which he consi3e-:ed that a new Cabinet could un dertake to serve as a link between the executive and legislative powers, and to offer to both such equal security as would enable them to go on together in har mony that they might be enab!ed to meet the difficult trials o 1852. The President of the Republic, without accepting or repelling in an express manner these dif ferent conditions, intimated to M. Barrot his desire to see him undertake the formation of a Cabinet along with M. Billault, who had joined them at the close of the conference. M. Barrot, with great respect, declined to be a party to such a combination." The following from the Patrie is the Bonapartist account of the same interview : " We have hitherto abstained from mentioning any name , , although we were informed, as well as our con temporaries, of the steps which had been taken to bring the crisis to a termination. It is, however, useful that the country should be made acquainted with the over tures which have been made by the President of the Republic to different influential persons, in order that it may know how far those personages have responded to the confidence which the chief of the state was disposed to grant them. We are assured that M. Odilon Barrot was yesterday sent for to the Elyse.) by the President of the Republic, who is said to have consulted him on the present state of affairs, and to have proposed to him to form a Cabinet. M. Odilon Barrot is seid to have accepted the mission, but on two conditions which consisted in the dismissal of M. Carlier from the post of Prefect of Police, and of General 13araguay d'Hilliers from that of Col:mud:tilt in-Chief of the Army of Paris, and that he might replace them by men the choice of whom he reserved to himself in the most exclusive and absolute manner. These pretensions are said to have put an end to the in terview. We are convinced that the intentions of M. Odilon Barrot were perfectly sincere and honourable, but we cannot but. deplore the perpetual blindness of the old leader of the dynastic opposition, which always leads towards revolutions without perceiving the road which he takes towards them, and without understanding that he is the dupe of the intrigues which are in agitation around him. If the President of the Republic bad ac cepted the conditions on which M. Odilou Barrot would have taken office, would it not have been a repetition of the conduct of Rolland, who only arrived at power to sacrifice Louis XVI. and himself with him? Nothing is yet definitively settled; we nevertheless consider that a step has been taken towards a solution. The mission to form a Cabinet was in the course of the morning proposed to M. Leon Faucher, who has ac cepted it." M. LEON FAUCHER was engaged during the whole of Wednesday evening and Thursday morning in endeavouring to form a Ministry, and the following list was circulated on Wednesday evening : M. Leon Faucher—lnterior. M. Dam—Finances. M. Buffet—Public Instruction. M. Drouyn de Lhuya—Foraign Affairs. M. Prosper de Chasseloup-Laubat—Public Works. Genoral d'Arbouville—War. N. Bauchart—Commerce. M. Lacrosse—Marine. It appears, however, that M. DARU refused to ac cept office, and so many other difficulties presented themselves that, on Thursday evening, M. LEON FAUCHER gave up the attempt, and the PRESIDENT would, it was said, endsavonr to bring about an ODILON BARROT and LAMARTINE combination, sacrificing to the former M. CARLIER, who is to be removed from the Prefecture of Police to some other post, and con senting, in order to conciliate the latter, to a repeal of the Electoral law. We read in the Constitutionnel : Several journals, being ill-informed, have an nounced, like the Independance Belge, that the club of the Rue des Pyramides was dissolved after the yore cf Saturday, and had reconstituted itself at the Council of State, under the name of the Club of the 286, or of the 18th of January. We are authorised to declare. that :his news is erroneous, and that the members of the Club of the Rue des Pyramides have not ceased to meet on their former premises, and that they are all to meet on the 24th instant. If the club has lost M. Thiers, it has gained M. Mathieu de la Redurte, who had his name inscribed the evening of the vote on M. Ste. Lieuve's amend ment." The Pays says—" In reply to the attacks which a morning journal has made on General PERROT, we have only one remark to make. Out of one hundred and two officers of the staff of the National Guard, twelve or fifteen only hare retired, and the special manner in which they had thought proper to compro mise themselves with regard to General CHANGAR NIER renders this step on their part as natural as honourable for themnelves. The others remain firm at their post, and are happy to see General PERROT at their head. As far as regards the different legions of the National Guards of Paris, we can affirm - that several of its distinguished chiefs have an intention of protesting against the insinuations of the journal in question, and that one of them has even already done so."

FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 24, 1851, PORTUGAL. Intelligence has been received from Lisbon cf the 3th inst. The Bank Directors have resolved to oppose the financial projects of the Government, and to appeal against them to the Cortex. GERMANY. The Hanoverian Chambers are convoked for the 12th February. The Frankfort Journal of the 20th says the report that the Austrian army will take up a pwition in the Hanoverian territory, and be increased to 25,000 men, again gains credit; and that there is no doubt Aus tria intends to strengthen herself in the north-west of Germany—a project (it adds) the Hanoverian Ministry have not the power to hinder. Seeing that there are no disturbances in Hanover, and that Holstein has submitted, there can be no good reason why Austria should thus concentrate such im mense armies on the flank of Protestant Prussia, and within twelve hours' steaming of the shores of Prb testant England. Is this anothe; overt act in the conspiracy for extirpating Protestantism at the point of the sword, so ostentatiously proclaimed by the Univers some weeks since ? ✓ General RADOWITZ arrived at Aix la Chapelle on :he 20th.

Accounts from Vienna of the 20th announce the resignation of SCUMERLING, the Minister of Justice. The reason assigned is his opposition to the new press law, which he did not consider sufficiently liberal. By an Imperial decree, the estate of the late Count Louis BATIIYANY, situate in the county of Eisenberg, and which was confiscated, shall after the term of three years be sold by public auction, either together or separate. A financial Congress will be convoked to meet in February. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The Archduke ALBRECHT has been appointed to the command of the Austrian and Prussian armies in Holstein. The cities of Rendsburg, Altana, Lubeck, and Hamburgh are to be occupied by Federal troops. It is stated that Friedriclasort will have a Danish garrison. Count REVENTLOW-CRIMINIL has assumed the go vernment of the Duchy of Lauenburg, and the public functionaries of that principality have been called upon again to take the oaths of allegiance to the King Of DENMARK. Another royal proclamation and an address of the Stadtholders to the people of Lauenburg were about to be published. The Copenhagen papers of the 17th protest that no reduction will take place in the Danish army until Rendsburg and Friedrichsort shall have been given up to the troops of the King of DENMARK. BELGIUM. The King of the BELGIANS has addressed the fol , lowing letter to M. RCGILE, Minister of the ILI terior:— "Brussels, 2 lst January. "My dear Minister, —The circumstances in which we fiod ourselves indicate only one solution of the Ministerial difficulty, which is, that you shall charge yourself wish the ad interim administration of the war department. You know what is my confidence in you; I am persuaded that the sentiment of the country. with respect to you, is the same. Without national security, there is no political existence; all the most precious interests, without any exceptions, ate connected with that security. The strongest guarantees must then be given to the country and the army; that we shall defend the elements of this security as our most precious treasure. I place this deposit in your coura geous and devoted hands; the task, I know, is difficult, but you will defend the most important national interest. I have sufficient confidence in your devotedness and your character to rely on you for the accomplisment of a sacred duty for all of us, and I beg of you to charge yourself with it, in assuring you of my most sincerely affectionate sentiments.

CITY. TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpo. , l yesterday were esti mate.{ at 3,500 bales, comprising about 3,000 American, 300 Egyptian at B.ld. to Sid, 200 Surat at sd. to 6d., and 50 Sea Island at. Is. Op. to Is. 41d. per lb. Prices of all kinds were about 1-16 d. below the rates of Friday last.—Railway Shares were firm. During the present week the holders of produce have manifel d generally a' disposition to act with reserve, and to keep back supplies, but neither home buyers nor shippers h , r.ve been induced thereby to come forward and purchase at all freely. Coffee is very sluggish, the st cks being large atid consumptien reduced. sugar, on the other hand, is used steadily, and the stock of British Plantation is low. so that tie absence of demand is somewhat unaccountable and not expected to continue. In Spices, Rice, Tallow, and Spirits, the transactions have been unimportant. Cotton has been firmer. Tea rules quiet although the last accounts from China state that the shipments were 4,000,0001b5. less than in the former season, and the deliveries are good. The following par ticulars of the dried currant trade are furnished by Messrs. Witherby and Hanson: — At the date of our last report, a dozen vessels, re cently arrived, were discharging their cargoes. About the same number has since been reported. The com parative total direct importation from the commencement of this and the two previous seasons, is— To 20th January, 1851, by 53 ships, butts 5,949, car revels 8.529, barrels 11,438, boxes 1,311, or about 7,850 tons. To 20th January, 1850, by 45 ships, butt 5,197, car rowels 5,765, barrels 10,466, boxes 2,400, or about 7,200 tons. To 20:h January, 1849, by 59 ships, butt; 7,532, ear roteels 7,004, barrels 8,130, boxes 600, or about 9,000 tons. To the above importation of thi; season must be added about 500 tons received from the Continent since the middle of November, making the total importation about 8,350 ton; to 20:hinst.Eight cargoes have besn reported at Liverpool since 18th ult. We now rE quire about 3,000 tons to bring up our London imports to a level with those of last season, and 4,200 tons to make them equal to those of the preceding season. The clearances here for home consumption from 19th ult. to 18th inst., were 560 tons against 480 tens in 1850, and 500 tons in 1849. At Liverpool, during the four weeks ending 14th inst, they were 350 tons against 350 tons in 1850. The consumption of the United Kingdom in 1850 will, we fear, be less than that of 1349, the official returns of the first eleven months still showing a deficit of nearly 1,500 tons. The actual stock of Currants in London on 31st De- I cember of the last three years was:— Dec. 31, 1850, 3,507 butts, 4 559 carroteels, 1,430 cadis, 6,518 barrels, 841 boxes, or 5,000 lons. Dec. 31, 1849, 3,525 butts, 3,219 carruteels, 7,140 barrels, 2,106 boxes, or 4,600 tons. Dec. 31, 1848, 4,897 butts, 3,503 carroteels, 3,742 bar- rels, or 5,200 tons. Our Christmas report left the market 3s. lower than at the end of November, depressed by simultaneous ar rivals, and by unsuccessful attempts at realizing by pub lic sales. In this state it has since continued, with nu indication of revival, aggravated, moreover, by the offering at auction on the 15th inst., of about 500 tons of damaged fruit, part of 13 cargoes recently arrived, but of which only a small portion found purchasers, chiefly rain-damaged Gulph truit, at unprecedentedly low prices, such as to form no criterion of the relative value of other qualities of fruit. The market is in an unsettled state, and our quotations are again necessarily nominal As we prognosticated two months ago, fine Currants are extremely scarce. The trade, who seldom resume their purchases of Currants so soon after Christmas, are evidently inclined to come forward, holding for the most part but little stocks. In January, 1850, foreign speculators entered the market and drove up prices 3s. per cwt., which, not extending to Liverpool and elsewhere, operated most . prejudicially against London throughout the spring sea son. The article is now in a mere healthy position, and only requires time fur recovery from its present inac tive state, which state has, from the, operation of tempo rary causes, prevailed in every other branch of the Co lonial market since the opening of the year. The de mand is at present confined to fruit at our lowest quotations. The circumstance of their being no steamer to the United States to morrow is felt as a great inconvenience by the mercantile community, after-the long enjoyment of a weekly communication. In the Amsterdam Market, on the 22d inst., there was no particular change in Dutch Stock. The T wo-and-a- Half per Cents. were 56 15-16. Spanish Bonds were in request, but not so dear. Mexican were rather in favour. At Frankfort, on the 21st inst., Austrian Metallics were 721, and Spanish Three per Cents. 32 13.16 to B. The Demerara Four per Cent. guaranteed loan was taken at the Treasury yesterday, the R ick Assurance Company having 65.0001 at the price of 105, and a pri vate capitalist the other 5,000/. at 106. The inveqment is undoubted being guaranteed by England, and the period of issuing the loan, which is an instalment of 250,0001., is favourable for the colony. The amount of money business doing in the English Stock Market is inconsiderable, and there is no dispo sition to speculate. The quotations remain, however, about the same as yesterday, Consols being 961 k for Transfer, and 96i 1 for Account. The continued ru mours of Ministerial difficulties at home, and the protracted crisis in France, deter the prudent from enter ing freely into engagements. The New Three-and a- Quarter per Cents. have been 98:1 to j, and the Three per Cents. 97k to k. Bank Stock is steady at 214 . 1. Exchequer-bills are 575. to 60s. premium, and India Bonds of 1,0001. 68s. to 70s. premium. The transactions in the Foreign Market have been limited. Spanish Passive Bonds are 31 and the Five per Cents nominally 17k 1. Mexican Bonds, ex-divi dend, are 33k. and Peruvian Four-and-a- Half per Cents. 78 to 1. Russian Four-and-a-Ball per Cents. have ruled a , 961 4 Belgian Four-and a- Half per Cents. have been 90k. and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 57k. The Railway Share Market presents again a very buoyant appearance, and there have been improved rates paid for several of the lines. A good dual has been done in Great Western, South-Western, Scottish Central, and York and Berwick. Great Northern are quiet. The foreign lines are steady.

The official budget of the Papal States for 1851 shows a net income of 10 millions of Roman scudi (60 millions of francs), and an expenditure of 12 mil lions of scudi. This deficit of two millions is partly owing to the impracticability of taxing professions according to the decree lately published, which is now abandoned. It is reported at Rome that M. DE ROTHSCHILD will in this emergency advance six mil lions of francs more to the Papal Government. The remaining deficit is to be made up by coining more copper money to the amount of LlOO,OOO scudi. THE ATLANTIC STEAMER. LIVERPOOL, JAN. 23, MIDNIGHT. Intelligence has reached Liverpool to-night of the return of the United States steamer Atlantic, Captain West, to Cork, in distress. The Atlantic left - Liverpool on the 28th of Decem ber, with the usual North American mails. Up to the 6th inst. her machinery worked well, but on that day it was found that the centre beam or abaft was broken. She was then in lat. 46 12, long. 41 30. Captain West continued to proceed to the west ward against very heavy gales till the 11th, intend ing to run for Halifax, but finding it impossible to contend against the gales, he put back, arriving at Cork on Wednesday last, after having been 25 dad's at sea. The screw steamer Genova has just arrived from Gibraltar in five days and eleven hours. iXAMINATION. S' COMIENCEMENT, 21, 1851. Dusautoy, John'e.. J. N. Smith's, John's. Porter, Peterhouso.

THE CHOLERA IN JAMAICA.—An extract from a latter dated Falmouth, December 26, says—" We are happy to state that the fearful epidemic which has created such havoc throughout the island is fast disappearing; there is not a new case reported in our town to-day, and the accounts from the other districts are very favourable." ROYAL SAPPERS AND MINERS —WOOLWICH, JAN. 23.—Two sergeants. two first corporals, three second cor porals, and three privates of this branch of the Ordnance corps stationed at Woolwich, embarked at Roff's Wharf at half-past 9 o'clock A.M., to-day, for London, to join a com pany of the Royal Sappers and Miners which lett Chatham this morning for London, and are to be quartered in Kensing ton Palace to take charge of the different sections of the articles to be exhibited in the Crystal Palace in Hyde-park. A number of non-commissioned officers and men of the same corps, equal to the strength of a company, will leave Viool wich at a subsequent period for the same kind of service, but the men have not yet been selected. No Elzutm DONE.—Horace Walpole, being in formed of a serious quarrel between two of his female friends, asked the person if either of them had called the other ugly? On obtaining an answer in the negative, he replied— " Oh, then, I shall soon make up the matter." REPDAL or ME WINDOW TAl.—Three large and influential meetings were held last evening in the me tropolis, for the purpose of taking steps to procure an imme diate abolition of this impost. The inhabitants of the Liberty of the Rolls, of St. Leonard's Shoreditch, and of St. Luke's Chelsea, met in vestries, strongly worded resolutions were adopted, pledging the parishioners to use the most strenuous exertion on behalf of their object, and a confi dent expectation of the downfall of the tax marked the proceedings. CABINET DISSENSIONS.—We stated a fortnight ago that notwithstanding the grave misunderstandings which had ten or twelve days previously existed in the Cabinet, and which threatened its immediate dissolution, a sort of tacit understanding had been come to among the members, that no charge should take place until after the meeting of Par liament. We have good grounds for believing that within the last few days, at least one member of the Whig Administra tion had all but sent in his resignation, and that even now, it is a toss up whether he will not retire before the first day of the session. The party to whom we allude is Earl Grey. The Noble Lord and. the Premier are at variance on more than one important question. A difference of opinion on certain colonial matters, as well as on the great question of Papal aggression, has, we are assured, much to do with the unfriendly feeling which exists between the two Noble Lords. Lord John Russell, and other members of the Ministry, cannot see the policy or taste of the conduct of Earl Grey in appointing, at such a juncture as the present, Mr. M'Carthy, a Roman Catholic, to so important a situa tion as that of the secretaryship of the island of Ceylon, a place which has been rather remarkable of late for the pre valence of relgious dissensions and religious acrimony. Nor does the aspect of this appointment at all improve on our acquaintance with the tact, that Mr. M'Carthy, whose sa lary, we believe, is 2,5001. a year, is the son-in-law of Mr. Hawes, the Under-Secretary to the Colonies, and a near re lative of Cardinal Wiseman. —Advertiser. DINNER AT THE MANSION HOUSE.—The Lord Mayor, as chairman of the Morarch Fire and Life Assurance Company, yesterday received his brother directors and the officers of the company at a sumptuous entertainment, given by his Lordship, at the Mansion House, on which occasion the directors presented to his Lordship a pair of claret jugs of equisite taste and workmanship.
