RESUMPTION OF OFFICE BY LORD

- .• -.

The ministerial journal; of this morning thus an-
nounce the return of Lord Palmerston to his former
office in the administration.

The Times says :
It berme our duty, in consequence of intelligence which
had reached us, to state on Friday, the 16th of December,
that Viscount Palmerston had tendered his resignation of
the office of Secretary of State fur the 'Unmet Department,
and had, therefore, ceased to form a part of Her Majesty's
government, if his resignation was accepted by the Crown.
That announcement was strictly accurate, and, accordingly,
Viscount Palmerston has not attended the meetings of the
Cabinet which have been held since he expressed his
intention to resign. It is, however, well known that the
important office of Home Secretary has not been filled
up or accepted by any other member of the go-
vernment ; and we have now the satisfaction to learn
that the resignation of Lord Palmerston has lot been de-
finitively accepted, but is withdrawn, and that the Secre-
tary of State for the Home Department will retain—we can
hardly say resume—his former position in the prevent ad-
ministration. Explanations, honourable alike to all the
parties concerned in this transaction, have been exchanged,
and, as difficulties which had arisen between Lord
Palmenton and his colleagues were limited, as we have
already stated on a former occasion, to the questian of par-
liamentary reform as dealt with by Lord John Russell, it
bas been found possible, without any sacrifice of principle,
to place the government again on a united, and we hope •
permanent basis.

The Chronicle states the event in the following
terms :

Ten days ago we announced that Lord Palmerton had
mined office. We have now the far more agreeable duty
of congratulating the country on the removal of those dif•
Menet, which threatened, at a singularly critical period,
to deprive the nation and the government of the benefit of
his ability, experience, and judgment. The noble lord
resumes, or, more strictly speaking, retains—the position
which he has so efficiently occupied since the formation of
the present cabinet; and, at a moment which peculiarly
demands the united action of all our leading statesmen in
the assertion of great common principles of national policy,
the English Ministry presents once more a firm and un-
broken front to Europe.

DRURY-LANE.

The pantomime at this theatre is supplied by M. R. L.
Blanchard, and is entitled Harlequin Xing liunitningtop
and tAe Land of Toys. Prince Chameleon, the victim of
ennui, disgusted with poetry, painting, music, and all
other sources of gratification, is about to throw himself into
• stream, when be is arrested by the spirit of Happiness,
who leads him to the territory of Toys, in the islands of
Youthful Delights. Here, in the midst of processions and
revelries, an alarm is suddenly sounded by penny trumpets
that the Queen of Beauty is about invading the realm of
Toys. Refuge is taken in the "Hall of Sports and Pas-
times," but the Queen of Beauty is too potent, and the
Prince enters the " Labyrinth of Love," where he finds
Happiness in the possession of True Love, who is discovered
in the " Bower of Beauty." A novel effect forms part of
the transformation scene by the suspension in mid-air of a
group of fairies, who appear poised like so many Ariels
without any apparent means of support. A juvenile pan-
tomimic company will subsequently appear, and lend
the miniature contrast to the full-sized characters of the
Drury Hs rlequinatie.

LYCEUM.

Mr. Planche la about to furnish his annual Christmas ex-
travaganza to the world at the Lyceum Theatre. The story
runs that "once upon a time" King Sublimes held tranquil
sway over the " Peaceful Nandi," but he was unceremo-
niously kicked from his throne by his cousin, King Peri-
wiggilus, and obliged to Sy with his family to the " Ver-
dant Valley," where they take up their abode in a humble
cottage, and live as peasants unknown to the usurper. One
of the three daughters of King Siblimus fell into a lake
during their flight, and is believed by its royal parents to
be drowned. A benevolent water nymph, Aquamarine,
saves the life of the child, and giving to it the name of Car-
pelona, from the abundance of carp in the lake into which
it fell, carries it to the palace of the usurping Periwig-
gilus, by whom the girl is brought up, and who in
coarse of time becomes a lovely creature. Prince
Brutus, the usurper's deformed eon, falls in love
with Carpelona, but she refuses the offer of his ►and.
The old king refusing to coerce her will, the filial prince
dethrones his father, and would have taken possession of
Carpelona, had not the fairy Verdant carried her away to
the Verdant Valley, where she ands an asylum in the hospi-
table cottage of old King Sublimus and his Queen, who have
no idea that she is their daughter. She there falls in love
with Corin, who turns out to be the younger son of King
Periwiggilus, whose life had been attempted by his cruel
brother, Prince Brutus, but had been preserved by an eagle
sent for the purpose by the benevolent fairy. Their happi-
ness is, however, interrupted by Prince Brutus discovering
the retreat of Carpelona; his guards seize the lovers, and
carry them to his capital, where they are about being burnt
by his orders in the public square, when old Perriwiggilus
discovers that the shepherd youth is his son. The remain-
ing portion of the denouement is brought about by the ap-
pearance of the benevolent nymph, Verdant, who frustrates
the machinations of the m►lignant fairy Amazonia, and her
protege, Prince Brutus.

ADELPHI.

The Adelpbi management have abandoned legitimate
pantomime, and soared into the realms of German mysti-
cism. for the subject of a gr►nd magical spectacle, called
Number Nip, the Spirit Bride. It is an adaptation from the
French, and is founded upon the Rosicrucian theory of the
gnomes and sylphs. Tht plot, which involves a variety of
incident., and some very novel stage effects in representa-
tion, is sim?le enough in its outline. Number Nip, King of
of the Gnomes, by a certain compact has become subject to
the Count of Wallenstein, and can only be set at libtrty on
certain conditions, to be fulfilled by a bride on the day of
her espousal. To accomplish this, Erletta, a sylph in the
power of the gnome, is compelled to assume a mortal shame,
and her endeavours to secure the love of Count Rudolph
form the action of the drama, which abounds in magical
wonders.

LATEST FROM ABROAD.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

ItESCIIIDB PACIIA'S APPLICATION FOIL
RISH IT AND FRENCH AID.

The subjoined is a translation of a formal and
axial note transmitted on the .ith instant to Lord
Stratford de ltedclitfe and General Baraguay d'Hil-
lin by lteschid ,
tt It was announced to the ambassadors some days
ago, by an effieial note, that Russian ships of war
M 1 been seen cruising in the vicinity of Sinope. The
Tad steamer has just arrived from that locality, and
l; rtsu.ts fruits the report of the captain that on
Wednesday last, 29th Sepher (November 30) three
Russian 3-deckers, two 2-deckers, and two frigates
entered the port of Sinope, and attacked a division of
the Otioinan fleet anchored there, and consisting of 6
frigates and 3 corvettes.
"Although the result of the action is not yet
known, considering the situation of our ships and
the superior force of the enemy, it is presumed that a
rest disaster has ensued.
The English and French fleets have been sent to
the Bosphorus with the sincere intention of protect-
ing the shores of the Ottoman empire. This recent
occurrence proves sufficiently, that it is the determi-
nation of Russia to attack by means of her fleet those
points against which operations may be best directed.
The impossibility, however, of defending so vast an
extent of coast without a sufficient force in the Black
Sea is perfectly evident ; and although the Sultan's
government has the intention of sending thither
the fleet, it will be inadequate to the object in
view.

" Hence, the Sublime Porte considers itself under
the necessity of having recourse to the effective soli-
citude of the two allied governments. This notifica-
tion is made accordingly and at the same time to the
ambassadors of England and France.
It bil yvvel 4." "RESCMD.

BERLIN, Dec. 23.

The Prussian C'urrr.pnulenrr states that the allied
Heats have catered the Black Sea to protect the Otto-
man coast against any attacks by the Russian fleets.
The Correspondence adds that already at a former
period, the English government had informed the
Russian Cabinet that the allied fleets would enter
immediately after tho first attack of the Russians
against the ports of Turkey.

The Wartekrer of Vienna states that the last des-
patches from Constantinople announce the determi-
nation of the Porte to carry on the war to the last
extremity.

The Pres,. of Vienna has telegraphic news from
Hermaaostadt confirming the reported f►ilure of the
Russian attack upon Nlatitchio.
Tito Russian bulletin of the bottle of Ougasti, in
respect of which (kneral Bebutoff claims a ♦ictory
over Abdi Pacha, has been published. The general
admits that ho lost :117 killed, of whom 9 are offi-
cers, and 795 wounded, among whom is Prince
Orbslian.

to sell, which caused increased spirit in the bidding*,
but prices ruled rather in favour of buyers. 1,968
chests have passed to-day, of which 811 were with-
drawn, 480 bought in, and 677 sold. Total passed,
10,639 chests, of which 4,128 have been sold.
Under the head of "Threatened Famine in New-
foundland," the New York journals make the follow-
ing statement:
Accounts from Newfoundland, to Sept. 21, state that
the potato crop is almost an utter failure, oa account of the
rot. The fishery has also turned out badly, and great fears
are entertained of a famine among the poorer inhabitants
during the coming winter. The papers urge upon the go-
vernment to call an early session of the legislature to meet
the emergency.
The subjoined quarantine notices have been pub-
lished :
Seville, Ott. 4.—The Board of Health here have issued
the fallowing quarantine regulations :—All vessels from

THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY

as the exact amount of the Mussulman population,
" Allah ! Allah!" exclaimed the minister, patiently
stroking his beard, "this fellow is in %gnaw, and
has nein trsvelled in our parts."
The Russian agents, as before•mentioned, have been
come time actively endeavouring to negotiate directly
with the Porte, provided with an ample fend of their
usual arguments, and setting forth in strong colours
the humiliating and contemptible attitude of the
allies.

On Monday the representatives of the Four
Powers had an audience separately with the Sofitan.
A vessel laden with warlike stores, !peek, and other
mammies, arrived from Alexandria on Monday
last. It wu destined for the Egyptian °ones.

Ilse Debate states that according to its corre-
spondence of the 29th ult., the resolution to resist
Russia, even should all the Powers abandon Turkey,
was taken in the Grand Council by a majority of
160 votes against 3 dissentients. The ambassadors
of France, Austria, and Prussia were the first to
press oa the Porte the acceptance of the Vienna note ;
Lord Stratford de Redeliffe alleging that he had no
instructions. Afterwards his instructions arrived,
and then, says the Debate, " he associated himself
to the act of his colleagues, and their note was
remitted to the Divan. Reschid Pacha then saw
the ambassadors, and requested them to notify to
the several courts that war was about to be pro-
claimed immediately. The three ambassadors then
proposed to try a last appeal to the Sultan, but Lord
Stratford declined to be a party to the act.
The Portafollio Maltese states, from Constantino-
ple of the 25th ult., that the Sardinian ambassador
there, Baron Tecco, has delivered a report to the
Turkish Minister of War, written by Capt. Govane,
of the staff of the Piedmontese army, who had on
invitation, inspected the Turkish fortresses along the
Danube. The report is stated to be generally fa-
vourable to Omer Pacha's measures.

The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa of the Bth quotes
au article from the Gazette del Popolo, positively
stating that the Hungarian General Klapka, who is
noted for his defence of the fortress of Comorn, has
been appointed by the Porte commander-in-chief of
all the fortresses of the Ottoman Empire. We
have no confirmation of this intelligence from any
other quarter.
The Petrie, alluding to a statement in an English
journal, that Persia had declared against Turkey,
and that a Persian army had arrived on the frontiers
of Armenia, says the assertion is unfounded, and that
a letter from Erzeroum, the principal town of the
province, dated the 18th, announces on the contrary
that the court of Teheran, vigorously supported by
the English charge d'affaires, had rejected the
Russian propositions. The eame letter also says that
Persia had not yet made any military demonstration
1 whatever.

MR. GLADSTONE AT MANCHESTER.

At the conclusion of the proceedings at Manchester
on Wednesday, which we reported very fully yesterday,
Mr. Gladstone returned to Mr. Hartar's residence at Higher
Broughton, where he met a large circle of the leading in-
habitants at dinner. The company included the Lord
Bishop of Oxford, Archdeacon Wilberforce, and the Mayor
of Manchester.:
The right hon. gentleman yesterday morning was at the
oonsecration of the new church at Denton, about five miles
distant from Manchester, where the Bishop of Oxford and
Archdeacon Wilberforce were to assist the Bishop of Man-
chester in the *mica. The church is a handsome, but
small edifice, in the early English style of architecture, at a
cost of abouts,oool. It has been mainly promoted and built at
the cost of the Rev. Richard °tomell, tutor of
Worcester College, Oxford. It was in order to visit his
friend Mr. Oresewell, we believe, and to be present at the
consecration, that Mr. Glad/Mae undertook his Isurney on
this occasion into lamoodsks. The awe wasisainglagly
erowded by a aagreg frestadlog. besides the Right
Hon. the Chancellor of the awl Mrs. Gladstone,
many of the most wealthy and families of the
neighbourhood. Ansen the.. were Lead Robert Gros-
venor, and the Earl sod Oeudres of WUtset.• laws attend-
ance of the clergy of kLeasheeter took pert is the
ceremony.
The Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of OXFORD preached
the consecration sermon from the text, " For I have much
people in this city."
The service concluded about a quarter after two o'clock,
whoa the principal portion of the congregation retired to
the school opposite, where a lunch had been prepared.
About four o'clock the company left the school-room to
proceed to the site of some new schools, of which the
Bishop of Oxford and Mr. Gladstone were to assist in
laying the foundation-stone.

POSTAGE REFORM IN VAN DIEMEN'S LA\'D•

The following is an extract from a letter received
from Sir William Denison, the governor of Van Diemen's
Land, by the secretary of the Colonial and International
Postage Association :
" The association has been anticipated in this colony, in-
asmuch as a bill is now being prepsred for the purpose of
being laid before the Legislative Council at its next sitting,
and which the g ent proposes to discontinue the
charge for postage on all letters received from other coun-
tries, and to require the payment of one penny, or two-
pence as the council may decide, icstead of four-pence as
charged at present, upon letters forwarded from Van Die-
men's Land to places beyond the seu."

HOLLAND.

The Minister of Public Worship, in Holland, has
informed the royal commissioners of the provinces
that the Dutch government has received an official
communication from the Pope. That communication
announces the establishment by his Holiness, in the
kingdom of the Netherlands, of an archbishop and
four bishop., and the nomination of high ecclesiastics
to fill them. In conformity with the new law rela-
tive to religious liberty, the commissioners can, in
consequence, communicate officially with these digni-
taries, provided their family names be joined to their
ecclesiastical titles.

fG, OCTOBER 14, 1853.

It is satisfactory to find that a measure so lenity
called fee se a protection to the public against ;also
reports is at length taken, and doubtless this first
experiment will be improved upon. To-day it was
generally observed that the official placard was worse
than useless. The usual contradictory reports about
the price of Consols had been flying about all the
mottling. The despatch cominf at the last moment,
t.nd omitting the essential pattualar of the hour at
which it was sent from Co baill was of course no guide
for the concluding operations here. The figures, al-
though not properly written, were generally under-
stood to mean 911, but many people cried out that it
was a mistake for 911, and to make the confusion
worse confounded, somebody had written in pencil
under the despatch, before it was put under its pro-
tecting glass, 911. Thus, in spite of the telegraph,
we must wait for the evening papers to-morrow be-
fore we can know with any certainty the price of
Consols. _

Yesterday the translation of the relics of St.
Theodosia (n Amiennoise saint), was celebrated with
great pomp at Amiens. A report was current that
the Empress was to be present, pursuant to a pro-
mise given to the archbishop. Her Majesty, how-
ever, did not attend. There was a vast assemblage
of the faithful. No less than twenty-seven arch-
bishops and bishops, French and foreign, were pre-
sent, besides three cardinals, of whom Cardinal
Wiseman was one.

One of the few, if not the only one, of the working
men's societies not dissolved after Dec. 2 was the so-
ciety of working hat makers, which was allowed to
go on upon the representation that the members were
wholly free from the leaven of politics. The police,
however, now report that they have become very
" turbulent." Fifteen of them were arrested a few
days since, and the society will now probably share
the fate of its predecessors.

The English railway market to-day, though gene-
rally lower, responded slowly to the decline in the
funds, the scarcity of stoek continuing to afford much
support to this department. With the exception of
Midland, the heavier shares have been in increased
demand for the account. London and North Western
has commanded i to 1 " backwardation ;" Lancashire
and Yorkshire, fto ; and Great Western, Ito i
" ba..kwardation." edonians and Great North-
erns were also scarce, but Dover' and Oxford and
Worcester, were both plentiful and retained light

from the lowest rates of the day.

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK.

The deaths registered in London during the week
ending Saturday, Sept. 1, numbered 1,029, whilst the
average of the corresponding weeks for the last ten years,
not including the cholera in 1849, was 950. The mortality
little exceeds the average raised in the same proportion as
the bursas' of population. Cholera was fatal to 16 persons,
namely, 12 children and 4 adults. In the last 8 weeks
from the week ending 16th July, 3,6, 9,4, 19, 10, 18,
and 16, deaths from cholera were registered. Diarrhoea in
the same period was fatal to 64, 73, 81, 110, 139, 126, 137,
162 persona, and shows a tendency to increase. The deaths
from typhus, which in the preceding week were 37, rose
last week to 49; scarlatina has increased from 18 in the
previous week to nearly double that number, namely, 32
deaths in the last week.

The tnberiular diseases and those of the heart and blo3d
vessels show but little variation in the mortality from that
in the former week. 6 persons died in childbirth, 123 from
consumption, 4 from aneurism, 4 from delirium tremens,
and 2 from intemperance. Of the 1,029 persons whose
deaths are recorded, 620 were children under 16 years of
age, 317 of the age of 16 to GO, and 191 of the age of 60
years and upwards. The births in the week were 1,682, or
663 more than the deaths.

Last week the births of 806 boys and 777 girls, in all
1,582 children, were registered in London. The average
number in eight corresponding weeks of the years 1815-52
was 1,378.

At the Royal Obeertatory, Greenwich, the mein height
of the barometer in the week was 29.732 in. The mean
temperature of the week wu 55.7 deg , whieh is 3.3 deg.
below the average of the lame week in 38 years. The
highest temperature of the week was 70.2 deg. on Tuesday ;
the lowest was 45.0 deg. on Saturday. The wind blew
from the west and south-west during the first five days of
the week, and from the north fur the remainder ; its hori-
zontal movement averaged 110 miles a day. More than en
iach of rain fell during the week; of this large quantity for
the season nearly half en inch fell on Thursday.

blddRIS LISTS.

TriSDAT ETZ3MIO.

The railway market remain; very iniitive, and
there is scarcely the least disposition to purchase.
Throughout the day the tone was heavy ; and in the
afternoon some sales were pressed, prices finally
closing at an almost general reduction from the last
rates of yesterday. London and North Western
stock was especially heavy. Great Western has also
given way, after maintaining its price so steadily.
Caledonians were comparatively well supported. At
the close, the tone of this market was unsatisfactory.
