" I am aware," said his lordship, " from a comversation which Lord CLARENDON held lately at Compeigne with the Emperor, and which his lordship repeated to me, that his Imperial Majesty has long looked at the internal state of Italy with interest and anxiety. It may be, although I have no reason for believing such is the case, that he imagines 'that in a war with Austria, and having Sardinia as an ally, he may play the important part of the regenerator of Italy. If so," he continues, " the treaties of 1815 must be effaced, for such a redistribution of territory could not be effected without the consent of the parties to those treaties. liht those compacts have ensured to Europe the longest peace on record, and in the opinion of her Majesty's Government still answer their original purpose in maintaining the balance of power." Not, however, that he, or the Cabinet of which he is a member, felt satisfied by any means with the condition of Italy. "I would not," he further observed to. Lord COWLEY, "have your - excellency believe that her Majesty's Govern ment are indifferent ; to the just discontent which. affects a large portion of the Italian populations.. Yet it is not in a war between France and Austria that -their relief is t ) be found. Such a war may bring about a change of masters, but assuredly it will not give them independence, and without inde pendence liberty is hopeless." Then, again, as respects Austria. To our Minister at Vienna Lord MALMESBURY .wrote,—".Her Ma jesty's Government ardently trust that in the interests of the Italians themselves, and of the peace of Europe, the Austrian Government will pursue a course which cannot fail to bring to its side the. public opinion of impartial, and independent States.. It appears to her Majesty's Government to be of paramount importance 'at this critical moment for Austria to enlist public-opinion in her cause, and to• take more than common care to avoid every act that could possibly be construed into a wilful offence to those States, who may,. perhaps, desire a quarrel with her. Her Majesty's Government; therefore, your lordship to-take every opportune occasion to impress this truth, on. the Austrian Government." And to both the Powers concerned was the admoni tion delivered,—"• Her Majesty's Government are convinced that it is in the union and good under standing of France and Austria that an amelioration and gradual improvement of the condition of the Italians can be now begun and finally effected. If, happily for that people, those two Governments would occupy themselves seriously to insist upon and carry out the reforms demanded by both justice and policy in, Central Italy, they would doubtless succeed." But this judicious counsel was by both parties rejected,—and we know the terrible result. Further still, our Foreign Minister told them, that "if Austria and France could be induced to take a just estimate not only of their own political interests, but of the course which would most effectually con; tribute to the happiness of the Italian populations throughout the whole extent of the peninsula, her Majesty's. Government feel that the work would already be half accomplished, and the rest of Europe, instead of looking forward with anxiety to the future, would only have to congratulate itself on the prospect at length opening to , them of Italian rege neration unstained by deeds of violence and bleod she d." Society—a Society embracing a very large proportion indeed of the Liberal party—has also met, and unanimously resolved, that, " looking to the in creased proof of the necessity of the Ballot as shown by the flagrant cases of bribery and intimidation at the late• General Election, the desire for the Ballot To MAmop.icr 103PHATE, PROSPROROC E ARA COTTA. teur has been witbdiawn from him.

There is no news from the theatre of war, and at Paris it is given out that the 2lfoniteur must not be expected to break silence for several days. A letter from St. Petersburg, says that if Prussia • allows herself to be goaded into menacing steps, Russia will concentrate corps of troops on the Prussian frontiers and in Gallacia, and detachments of the Russian fleet will be sent to the Prussian posts in the Baltic. Late accounts from the drench Imperial head-quarters in Italy states that the Emperor was concentrating his forces in order to attack the Austrian army with an overwhelming power. It is very generally believed in Paris that a decisive battle will be fought in the course of n ext week. The Minister of the Interior has sent a communication to a religious journal which had attributed the insurrectionary movement in a portion of the Papal States to the proclamation recently issued by the Emperor. The Minister of the Interior reprehends malevolent insinuations, which tend to everywhere expressed by the constituencies Apply to large majority of the Liberal members who are pledged to its support, and the circumstances connected with the recent meeting of the Liberal party, this meeting, on behalf of the friends of the Ballot, desires to express its regret that a Liberal Ministry is about to be restored to 'power without any stipulation being made for their conceding the Ballot.' 7 Now all this, we say, is very natural, and very reasonable. For how can there be an " adequate representation of the whole Liberal party," in the Government, under any such exclusive arrangements as have been made, in the construction of a new Ministry ? It is . trifling with what they always professed to consider great principles, to discard those who are their leading representatives in Parliament, when an Administration is to be formed which they have so largely contributed to render necessary. One might have thought that the Whigs would now have thrown all such jealous exclusive ness to the winds. They have got back to office, only produce the impression that France is endeavouring to weaken the political authority of the Holy Father. The Journal des Debals has an article on the Island of Perim. The writer says that, in the name of the liberty of the seas and of the universal rights of nations, England should be asked what the fortifications of the Island of Perim mean ? Contrary to general expectation, the amount of bullion in the Bank of England, as published in last night's Gazette, shows a small decrease of 6,8461. There is a decrease also in active circulation of 610,0301. An increase of 609;2251. has taken place in the reserve of notes. We make these few extracts from the corre spondence quite at random. But they will give a good idea of the policy which Lord DERBY'S Ad ministration has pursued in this matter of the Italian war. And sure we are, that it is just the policy which, while manifesting a right, feeling towards Italy, under its oppression, indicates so righteous a regard for the true interests of all con cerned, and for the peace and happi ness o f E urope, that it had only to be persevered in, as it would have been, to ensure the prdservation of that condition of dignified neutrality in which they have left the country to be dealt with by their successors. Happy indeed will it be for England, if the new Govern ment will only carry out a similar foreign policy. o " GAZETTE" NEWS.—The Queen, by a special statute of the Order, appoints the Earl of Malmesbury and Sir John Pakington Knights Grand Cross of the Bath ; Hercules G.

WAR AND 'ENGLISH DIPLOMACY, —Another blue-book was issued iesterday. One of the despatches from Earl Cowley, explains the war policy of France, based on a message from the Emperor to his lordship. Lord Cowley expressed to Count Walewski his opinion, that the Emperor's programme could not be carried oat, as Austria was not likely to give up Lombardy, until after a series of reverses that' might bring the French troops to the walls of Vienna, in which case the war would not be localised. Lord Malmesbury, writing May 20th, anticipates that the German confederation would shortly give some decided in dication of its determination Co look upon the cause of Austria as vitally bound up with the general interest of the whole German race. Early in May, Count Walewski thought that the war might perhaps be over in a few months.

SATURDAY, JUNE 18, 1859 lb. THE DAY'S NEWS Parliament re-assembled last night, and in the House of Lords, the Earl of Derby announced the resignation of his government, and its acceptance by her Majesty. He expressed a hope that the new Ministry would be strictly neutral in the pending European conflict. His lordship alluded to the publication in the Times, respecting a conversation which had taken place with the Queen on the sub ject of the formation of the new Ministry ; and the Earl of Granville admitted.that he had been some what indiscreet in mentioning it. In the House of Commons, Mr. Disraeli made a similar statement to that made by the Earl Derby. After some notices of motion. Colonel Forrester brought up the royal answer to the address of the House, in reply to the Royal speech, again repeating the profession of neutrality, and announcing that her Majesty had taken steps for the formation of a new adminis- tration Lord Palmerston's Cabinet has been completed, but no official list has yet been published, although it is understood that yesterday his Lordship submitted it to the Queen for her approval. Early yesterday morning, a general meeting of the members of the new cabinet, and other gentlemen who are to be officially connected with the govern_ meat, took place at Cambridge-house. At the close of the meeting Lord Palmerston proceeded to submi t the list of his new Cabinet to the Queen, in order to obtain her Majesty's approbation of it. Mr. Vernon Smith had a brief interview with Lord Palmerston, at Cambridge-house. He will probably ,be appointed to a seat in the Indian council. Sir Banjamin Hall will be called to the House of Lords by the style and title of Baron Llanover, the name of his seat in South Wales. - Her Majesty will hold a Privy Council to-day at Windsor, at which the seals of office will be trans' ferred to the new ministry, The electors of Marylebone are making prepara tions to secure the election of a successor to Sir B. Hall. The War news is still confined to vague reports- A telegram from Turin, received last night, an d dated the 17th, announces that an official bulletin has bee n published, giving news from Tuscany, stating that the Prince Napoleon had commenced the move ment of his troops amounting to 10,000 men with 800 horse. The same despatch states that Ravena has pronounced for the National cause aud a manifesto had been issued declaring the THE MINISTERIAL ARRANGEMENTS. THE progress of the Ministerial arrangements has certainly not removed the apprehensions which so many of the friends of Liberal principles, from the first, had only too much reason to entertain, that the Whigs, having once more found the road to office open to them, would forget those to whom they were mainly indebted for it. The Advanced Liberals have formed the means . by which PALMERSTON and RUSSELL have re-ascended to their official emi nence ; and now, their height attained, the ladder is kicked aside. One of the indignant party, writing from the Reform Club, has been complaining, we see, in the columns of the Star, that the new Ministry " looks very like a re-hash of the old Whig Cabinets ;" which it certainly does. And our inde pendent contemporary himself, a day or two since, after showing the most exemplary forbearance towards them, in their preliminary proceedings, felt constrained to come out with the very reasonable inquiries—" Ts the new Ministry to be a fair repre sentation of the whole Liberal party ? Did Lord PALMERSTON promise this at Willis's Rooms, and did Lord JOHN RUSSELL frankly declare it ? Is the promise to be kept, or is it to be forgotten the moment it has served its purpose ? Is it compatible with an honest performance of this promise that Sir CHARLES WOOD, Sir GEORGE GREY and Sir GEORGE LEWIS are to re-occupy the chief offices in the House of Commons, and to act over again the melancholy farce with which their names must ever be associated during this generation? If Lord PALMERSTON, Lord JOHN RUSSELL,-"Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT, and the three Baronets are to sit on the Treasury Bench, holding all the chief offices in the Cabinet, how is the adequate representation of the Liberal party to be provided for ? " These are questions as just and rational, as they were pertinent and pointed; and the praCtical answer they have so far received must have blasted many an anxious Liberal's hopes. For we cannot find that there has been any disposition shown to secure " a fair representation of the whole Liberal party ;" while now, after the arrangements are all but complete, the question, " How is the adequate representation of the Liberal party to be provided for," is one that they have rendered utterly unanswerable, - or, rather, we might say, put a negative upon it altogether. Another question was asked by the same out spoken Liberal contemporary, to this effect,—" If the ancient hacks of the party, who have every blemish which horseflesh is heir to, are to be trotted out again as the only team these Leaders will consent to drive—if eccentric statesmen who vote on all great questions with the followers of Lord DERBY, and have no mind of their own but when office is tendered them, are to be admitted into a Cabient which pretends to be an adequate representation' of the whole Liberal party—we ask, where are the offices and where are the men to whom the Indepen dent Liberals are to look as the exponents of their views ?" And echo answers, where ! The fact is, the Whigs don't want them. They are all well enough, those Independent Liberals, to aid them in "sting a Tory Ministry ; but they won't do at all in the construction of a Whig one. So that our justly offended contemporary saw but too much reason to declare,-...g. the three If the Whig plaeemen are inexorable—if have no faith i n baronets will yield nothing—if men who Lord PALMERSTON or Lord JOAN by the assistance of the Advanced Liberals Opposition to the Derby Ministry could never have prevailed without their active co-operation. And out of the whole Liberal party, therefore, and not from the Whig section of it, must a Liberal Cabinet be taken, if it is to have any chance whatever of maintaining its position. -...41... = . THE DERBY MINISTRY AND THE WAR IT is something for the Times to have admitted, as it has done, that, after having read carefully over Lord MALMESBURY'S official correspondence on the Italian war, Lord DERBY'S Foreign Secretary had done all that could be done to avert that calamity. No one, indeed, can read it, and fail to arrive at any other • conclusion. We questlpn if ever a British Minister took more true pains to prevent hostilities being had recourse to, between neighbouring States, than Lord MALMESBURY is shown to have done on this occasion. No one, we say, can read this corre spondence, which is now accessible : to the public at large, and not rise from its perusal with a thorough conviction, that the Government whose pacific efforts it presents in such a forcible light, was indeed and most pre-eminently a Government of peace. This correspondence, in short, completely justifies the Whole course which the Government of Lord DERBY pursued on the question of the dispute between France and Sardinia and, Austria. The Opposition, in the debate on the Address, made it one of the most formidable of their charges against the Government, that they had failed to prevent the But they left, it is evident, no permissible means to prevent it untried. They took true pains to adjust the dispute, and to bring both parties to a sense of propriety upon the question at issue. This, we repeat, is now confessed, even by the leading journal, the principal organ of the late Opposition. Well might Mr. DisRAELI ask them to suspend their judgment until they had read the correspondence, which was about to be laid on the tables of both Houses of Parliament. It was professed to be a ground, and a prominent one, of their want of confidence, that the Government had not prevented the war. That they had preserved the neutrality of this country was, of course, indisputable. But they had not prevented the war ! Now the evidence on which to form a right judgment is.contained in this correspondence. And yet the Opposition would not wait until it was placed in their handS,—which was done just as the division on the vote was about to take place,—but must come to a conclusion upon it, and return their verdict accordingly, without really knowing the actual state of the case, as here set forth. This correspondence, we repeat, was essential to enable them to form a correct and impartial opinion. And they would not wait for its produc tion ! But there it now is, in their hands, and before the country : and in the eyes of Enrope, as well as of England, it will constitute a complete justification of the Cabinet of Lord DERBY. The remonstrances, and the admonitions, which Lord MALMESBURY felt it his duty to address to the parties concerned, on the part of her Majesty's Government, were conveyed without any partiality whatever to all alike ; in the true spirit of amity, yet of strict neutrality. He instructed, for instance, our Minister at Paris, Lord COWLEY, to represent to the French Government, that there was no just cause for the hostile feeling that was being displayed. "No portion of the territory of either," he said, "is threatened by the other; no commercial privileges are asked or refused by either ; no point of national honour is at stake in either,"—signifi- cantly adding, that " the solution of a sentiment which has apparently brought these two States to the verge of collision, appears to her Majesty's Government to be found in mutual faults of temper and indiscretion on the part of the two Governments, and neither party appears disposed to make such sacrifices as would put an end to the panic which they have caused, and the practical evils which they may create." And therefore, that "it is under these circumstances that an impartial State like England is justified in proffering to her two allies the best and most sincere advice that she can give,", 'Under the bead of the general, tale, at fonrpence in the pound, we MA that the aura of £17,200 was collected, including a balance in the' hand of the bankers at the heginaing of the' financial year, and the expesiditure Was £14,920.

The ground upon which he rested his right to present the petition was his liability under the 43rd of Elizabeth to provide for the children, if any, of the alleged marriage, in the event' of the =parents beirig; ,. ..iinible to maintain them. Since the commencement of the suite Mr. Bevan has died, leaving a widow, whom he appointed executrix to his will. --Mr.. W. Brandt moved. in the Divorce Court, on Wednesday, that Mrs. Bevan, the widow and executrix of the original petitioner, might be allowed to proceed in place of her late husband.—Mr. Aspland, for the respondents, opposed the motion. on the ground that Mrs. Bevan had no interest in the suite.—His lordship took time to consider his decision. -- ZOOLOGICAL GARDE3O;.—The new.grand Comic pantomime of "Little 80-peep" has had a splendid run during the week; and is likely to liecome*even h greater. favourite than any of its predecessors—good as .they have been.

A NEW CANDIDATE FOR THE THRONE OF LOMBARDY.— " The report has again been circulated,. says the Paris correspondent of the Ina'ependence Beige, writing on the 14th inst., " which had been previously mentioned by the Courrier du Dinianrhe, and according to which a young Russian Prince, the Duke of Leuchte r iberg ( grandson of the former Viceroy of Italy, Eugene Beanharnais), intends to ,come forward as candidate for the Crown of Lombardo- Venetia, in opposition to ,Victor Emmanuel, when the people are caned upon to express their definitive wishes respecting the government which is to rule them.
