TSB MINISTERIAL CRISIS.

RISIONATION OF MINISTERS.

Tib Earl of DWI' and his colleagues have reeog-
Bleed Is the division of Friday night the decisive
answer to that appeal to their country and to Heaven
with which they advised her MAJESTY to dismiss the
lest Parliament. A Cabinet Council was held on
Saturday morning, at the official residence of the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, in Downing•street.
When it broke op Lord DZIBY waited on her
MAJESTY at Buckingham Palace, and ten-
dered the resignation of the entire adminis-
I tration. In the evening his lordship publicly
'referred to that event at a dinner at Mer-
chant nylon' Hall, and spoke of himself ea
being out of office. In fact, the Qt. ZEN lied already
sent for Earl URANSILLE, who had an audience of
her MAJESTY in the course of the afternoon, and
was invited by her MAJESTY to form a Government.
It may be presumed that the noble lord could not
see his way to the formation of a strong Govern-
ment, for after consulting various political friends,
his lordship again saw the QuttN yesterday after-
noon, and shortly afterwards her MAJESTY sent for
Lord l'stue•srme, who went to Buckingham
Palace, end, we believe, undertook to form an Ad-
ministration. In the evening Lord PALMERSTON
visited Lord Jolts RUSSELL., and also saw other of
kis political friend'.
Although it has often been affirmed of late that
Is the first crisis of this kind which might arise
Lord Cinmurtus would be sent for, the intelligence
of the that mused considerable surprise in political
aim's. Hie lordship is a nobleman of high character
sod amiable manlier', and M deservedly respected
by ell parties. But his is not the name which
Ant suggests itself to the mind of an intelligent
Englishman am he thinks of the skilful and flue
stateemenship requisite is the present crisis; nee
does his lordship represent the strength and clearness
of those principles of poliey—and especially of foreign
yolicy—which have triumphed in the late debate.
A ministry formed by Lord GRANVILLE, were such •
combination possible under existing circumstances,
would he in danger of being regarded se formed
rather in conformity with the personal predilections
of exalted personages than with a view to parlia-
mentary opinion.

A statement so positively affirmed, and so gene-
rally believed, yesterday, that we feel bound to take
notice of it, was, that her llifaister had given the
Order of the Garter to the Earl of DiEBY. We find
considerable difficulty in believing this statement.
Tbe bestowal of the order just now would look so
like a coaster-demonstration in favour of a noble-
man whom the House of Common■ has just con-
demned, that we are bound to believe it has not been
permitted to take place. The high rega:d which
ber MAJESTY has hitherto shown for the principles
and spirit of responsible government make it ex-
onedingly improbable that she has chosen the present
time to shower great and rare favours upon a Mi-
nister from whom Parliament has withdrawn its
confidence.

THE NEW MINISTRY.

(From th, Tom%)

Tbs vote of Si urday morning left, as it seemed
as chaos to the ministry of Lord Derby, however tenaciori
Mei" mewl at the earliest remit& moment to place their
emignatles In the hands of her Mijesty. The vote of want
of osnlience was the molt not merely of a parliamentary
hut of a national doliberarisn, end, being taken in a =neer
mot offirentsgrove to ministers, constituted • defeat only
the meta severe sod complete on that scooust. Nobody
• therefore be ourptined to learn that at es early hoer
an Saturday moivior the cabinet assembled, end ngreed
I. place their resignation in the hands of the Quoin.
The was dune, cud the fact of toe ministerlet
isoliestica was formally gummed by Lord Derby
at the banquet of the Merchant Taylors' Corepsey, at which
emend of the ministers were present. Oa the efterman of
Seturdey Lord Grenville received • summons from the
Meson to wait upon her Majesty at Buckingham Pelage at
4 o'clock. We have name to believe that her Majesty,
alter listening to ell lb. objections which Lord Granville
had to offer, commuted him ts attempt to form an adminis.

F. Meg, probably, that it nileht be nerd as an objection
to thio course that Lord Granville, who has never 3et held

tion paramount to that occupied by Lord Palmerston sal

al dm Queen. In the Madams." manner, and without ths
alighlait hesitation, Lord Palmerston columned to waive
whatever claims be might De supposed to have, and to act under

Lord Granville ss Prime Minister. Lard Grenville then
secured the co-operation of those statesman who appeared to

adadadetralien ; but in his first interview with Lord John
Russell Lord Grenville found that Lord John was die-
posed to Waist upon conditions which would render any
males or co.operation with Lord Pelmerston impossible,
whether the government was prodded over by Lord Gran-
ville or any other perms. On a second interview with
lord John Russell Lord Granville ascertained that, instead
of being, as her Majeety clearly intended he should be, a
meets of facilitating the union between Lord John Russell
and Lord Palmerston, his Premiership would only be an
obstacle in the way of agreement, and that if Lord John
Russell or Lord Palmerston were sent for an arrangement
was will passible. Lord Granville immediately informed the
Quin of this Mate of facts, and pointed out to her
MejeMy that he would be really connteractlng her
Majesty's wishes and intentions were he to continue
hie effotte to perform the twit which the Queen had so gra-
ciously, sad at the same time eo unexpectedly, Imposed apes
him. Upon being satisfied that thin was the case, the Queen
sent for Lord Palmerston, who went ts Buckingham Palau
at a quarter to Ma o'clock yesterday evening, and had Si
aadisarse of her Majesty, which lasted for an her- and a half.
Oa his return trom the palace, Lord Psimerston immediately
set ant Om Itkilusead. to 000 fer with Lord John Russell.
We have good mama to believe that Lord Palmerston will
marceed in forming an administration which will command
the Duped of the liberal party, and save them from the
great disgrace with which they were at one moment threat-
en-d, of being unable, aftor the victory of Friday night, pro-
mised by the union of all sections of the liberel pr rty, to
faun a liberal government.
