PROSPECT OF A TORY ADMINISTRATION.

A second edition of the Morning Herald of this
day has the following:
We have great pleasure in stating, upon un-
doubted authority, that her Majesty hu commanded
the attendance of the Earl of Derby at Buckingham
Palace this morning, at half•past eleven o'clock. The
tumour of this fact having reached the Reform Club
threw the members into a complete:panic, as they
bad fully calculated upon a reconstruction of the
Coalition Cabinet."

The above intelligence was not anticipated by
the morning journals. Thus the Times observed :-
0' The chances of a Derby administration may at
present be summarily dismissed. The Tory party
in the House of Commons is powerful, bat it has
not the majority; a dissolution of parliament is not
likely to improve its prospects; and the ability of
its leaders is not such as to compensate for their
want of numerical strength and popularity. Mr.
Disraeli's last appearances ix the House of Com-
mons have indicated no progress in his character as
a statesman or his skill as an orator; and Sir John
Pakington ani Sir Bulwer Lytton are not the
knights to hang up their shields to be challenged
foutranee by all comers. Lord Derby might
perhaps obtain the valuable assistance of Lord
Ellenborough in the War Department, and Lord
Colchester has been spoken of for the Admiralty ;
but we suspect this expedient will not be tried
until every other has failed, and we can place no
confidence on its duration or success."

The Herald itself merely remarked :--" So, then, the
people of these emintsies may feel assured that the
constitutional Sovereign who now sits on the
throne of England will pursue in this emer-
gency the course which the safety of the nation de-
mands; and in a few hours atter these sentences
most the eyes of our readers, it will be known to
whom her Majesty has deemed it right to resort for
advice in the emergency in which she is placed.
Until that determination is known, it is, perhaps,
better not to indulge in speculation or discussion.
Sure we are that in the ranks of that great party
who have ever been the true friends of the monarchy
her Majesty will have no difficulty in finding men
able and willing to carry on her government, even
tinder the perils in which the imbecility and wicked-
ness of her late—happily we an now say her late—
advisers have placed the countri."

THE NEW BILL FOR THE REMOVAL OF NUI-
SANCES AND PREVENTION OF DISEASES, 4e.

The new bill "to Consolidate and Amend the
Nuisances Removal and Diseases Prevention Acts of 1848
sad 1849" has been printed. It is endorsed with the
names of Sir B. Hall, Bart., Lord Palmerston, and Sir W.
Malesworth, Bart. The number of its clauses amounts to
62. The first clause repeals the acts 11th and 12th Vic-
toria, chap. 123, aad the 12th and 13th Victoria, chap. 111,

OF NEGOTIATIONS.

It will be remembered that the " Four Points"
originally mate to the knowledge of the public by
means of the note of M. Drouyn de Limye to the
French Minister at Vienna, dated July 22, 1864,
and published in the Moniteser. A slightly mo-
dified version of them immediately afterwards
transpired in Lord Clarene ma's despatch of the same
date, presented with other diplomatic documents
to parliament. A third form was given to these
demands in the Vienna protocol of Aug. 8, by which
Austria adopted them as necessary oonditions of
Pesos.

The so-called " interpretation" of the four points
settled by the representatives of the Allies on the
118th ult., and communicated to Prince Glortchakoff,
and which is to form the basis of the negotiations
for peso', has been commonly supposed to be i
and at the same time a more precise state-
ment of the resolutions of the Allies than had before
been made. We are to-day enabled to present, from
an authentic) source, the text of the document itself,
in which the public will find what have been made the
subjects of definite stipulations, and what has been
left to be decided by the events of the war. We only
add that it was of the four points as given below that
on the 7th instant at Vienna (to use the words of Lord
John Russell in parliament) "Prince Gortchakoff de-
clared his acceptance, on the part of his goverrimentos
theists.* of negotiations; of course reserving to him-
self the power,when those bases should be laid down
in articles, to make any observations on the part of
his government which he might think proper."

With a view to define the sense in which their govern-
ments hold sash of the principles cont3ined in the four
articles, and reserving to themselves moreover, es they have
always done, the power of layieg down such special condi-
tions over and abase the four guarantees as may appear to
them to be required in the general interest of Europe, in
order to prevent the return of the resent complications, the
representatives al Austria, France, and Great Britain de-
clare that—

"let. Their governments, judging in common that it was
aeoneary to abolish the exclusive protectorate exercised by
Russia over Moldavia, Wallachia, end Savoie, and to place
the privileges accorded by the Sultans to these principali-
ties as dependencies of their empire for the future under
the jointguarantee of the five powers, have and do now
some to an understanding that not one of the stipulations
In the ancient treatise of Russia with the Porte, concerning
the said provinces, tan be restored to validity
with the pesos, and that the arrangements to
be concluded respecting them will have to be
settled hereafter in such a mintier u to give full and
entire satisfaction to the rights of the suserain power, to
those of the three principalities, and to the general interests
of Europe.
" 2ndly. In order to give the greatest possible extension
to the freedom of navigation on the Danube, it will be ex-
pedient that the course of the Lower Danube, starting from
the point where it becomes common to the two states bor-
dered by the river, shall he withdrawn from the ' rial
jurisdiction existing by virtue of the third article In the
treaty of Adrianople. In every case, the free navigation
of the Danube cannot be assured, it it be not placed under
the control of a syndical authority invested with the powers
necessary for destroying the obstacles either now existing
at the mouths of this river, or which may be formed there
subsequently.
" 3rdly. The revision of the treaty of July 13, 1841, ought
to be with the view of connecting more closely the existence
of the Ottoman empire with the equilibrium of Europe,
and of putting an end to the preponderance of Russia
in the Black Sea. The arrangements to be made for this
purpose depend too directly on the events of the war to
enable the buses of them to be adjusted at present. It will
be sufficient to point out their principle.
" 4thly. Russia, while renouncing the pretension of cast-
ing her official protectorship over the Sultana Christian
subjects of the Greek faith, also renounces as a natural con-
sequence, all claim to restore to validity any article in his
former treaties, especially in the treaty of lintshok
Hl-
nerdjee, the erroneous interpretation of which has been the
main cause of the present war. la lending their mutual
aid for obtaining from the initiative of the Ottoman govern-
ment the consecration and observance of the religious privi-
leges belonging to the various Christian communities with-
out distinction of creed, and while jointly putting to a pro-
fitable use, in the interest of the said communitia, the g►
serene intentions manifested by 11. H. the Sultan in their
behalf, they will take the greatest care to preserve strictly
intact the dignity of his Highness and the independence of
his arown."—Daily News.
