THE DAY'S NEWS.

Parliament was dissolved on Saturday by Royal
Commission. The speech of her Majesty (delivered
by proxy) was short and to the point, and this week
the elections for the English boroughs must take
place, and according to the royal proclamation in
• Saturday's Gazette extraordinary, the new House
of Commons must meet on the 30th day of April
next. The writs were sent off immediately to every
constituencrin the United Kingdom, and as they
are now sent direct to every returning officer
instead of the High Slieriff of the County, the
Writ for Liverpool—if not already in the hands of
the Mayor-of Liverpool, will no doubt be so this
morning. The borough elections will take place at
the end of the week, three clear days, and not more
than six, being allowed after the proclamation by
the returning officer. In the counties the elections
must take place after 8 days, and before 12 days from
the receipt of the writ. This is quick work. Mem
bera on both sides of the House would rather have
staved off the dissolution for some weeks. How
ever, they have all made their election speeches in
the Lords and Commons, and they must now
attend to receive judgment and execution. It will
prove, in the words of Lord John Russell, a very
" penal dissolution " for many an ex-honourable
gentleman. Mr. Speaker Lefvere has terminated
his official career as Chairman of the House of
Commons, and retires with his pension of £4,000
a year, and a peerage, being now Lord Averslie.
The election news this morning informs us
that Mr. Lowe has declined to be put in nomi-
nation for Manchester, but that Mr. Massey
Under Secretary of State will stand instead, in
connection with Sir J. Potter. An address, stated
have been issued by Mr. Joseph Sturge
to the Nottingham electors, is a pure fabrication.
Mr Sturge has issued no address, and has no in-
tention to become a candidate. Mr. Cobden, it
appears, is making satisfactory progress.at Hud-
dersfield ; and Mr. Miall has met with a most
corlial greeting by his constituents at Rochdale.
Our readers will find full reports of the ward
Meetings held on Saturday evening. The Globe
states, that a " split" is reported in the Tory ranks
in Liverpool, which may possibly Jeopardise the
seat of Mr. Horsfall,

From France our news this 'morning does not
possess much importance. The report in a
London paper that certain modifications in the
French Cabinet are talked of, is denied. No
changes are in contemplation, and the statement
in question is probably based on a belief enter-
tained in well informed circles to the effect that
several promotions and changes are shortly to be
introduced into the diplomatic service. No reason
exists at this moment for any modification in the
Cabinet, for ministers are united, and the incident
which occurred lately, when M. Fould (Minister of
State) was bearded in the presence of the Emperor
by a subordinate, has been smoothed over by the
removal of the latter to another public dspartment.
Lord Elgin is expected daily in Paris, when he will
Concert with the French Cabinet on the combined

measures to be undertaken in China by the two I
countries. It is by no means impossible that a
third squadron, with a land force, will bed ispatched
to the China seas by the French government; and
this in spite of ,the statements made to the
contrary by the semi-official members.,
With regard to the miserable business between
the King of Prussia and Neufchatel, the final con-
ditions laid &win by his Prussian Majesty are
now known. Ha consents to treat on the basis
proposed by the Conference, namely, the surren-
der of his rights over Neufchatel, on the following
conditions. That the title of Prince of Neufchatel
is to remain attached to the Crown of Prussia
That the charitable institutions be preserved and
guaranteed. That the revenue of the domains,
which are to he transferred together with the
s 'vereignty, is to flow to the King's private
treasury for the next four years, (The revenue
from the domains amounts altogether to 100,000 fr.
a year ; the King demands these 100,000fn for
the indemnification of the Royalists). That
Switzerland is to proclaim a general amnesty, and
that the Royalists, who compromised themselves
after 1848, be not harassed in any way. The King
gives up the demand that the four " bourgeoisies"
are to be maintained in their rights. -
The sitting of the House of Deputies at Berlin
on Tuesday last, came to an end rather summarily
is consequence of a tragical accident. Herr Otto,
a member of the Roman Catholic Religion, and a
Government Councillor, had just ascended
the tribune to oppose the vote of supply for
he Minister of Public Instruction, and had
only uttered a few words when he was struck
by apoplexy, which soon ended in death. Eight
dignities took him on their shoulders and carried
him into the ministerial lobby, and medical assist-
ance was rendered by three medical gentlemen,
who are members of the house, but without avail.
His agony lasted nearly an hoar.
There are reiterated assertions of large bodies of
Russian troops pushing forward into Persia.
We have rather more exciting news from the_
East. In the first place, the Russian Minister at
Constantinople, has not only demanded enquiry
into the expedition of Mehemet Bey with his
Poles to Circassia, but Russian gun boats have cap-
tured the English steamer Kangaroo, which con-
veyed them.
Intelligence has been received via Cadiz, whi

threaten to complicate the dispute between the
Spanish and Mexican governments. The forts of
Vera Cruz appear to have fired on the boats of
the Spanish steamer Ferrolana, although war has
not yet been declared between the two countries.
Press of matter prevented us giving in Saturday's
NORTHERN TIMES, any news from America brought
by the Fulton, excepting the President's Message,
which we published in extenso, and we now briefly
allude to the proceedings in Congress. Mr.
Buchanan had sent in his nominations for the
Cabinet, which were confirmed as follows :—Secre.
tary of State : Hon. Lewis Cass, of Michigan.
Secretary of the Treasury : Hon. Howell Cobb, of
Georgia. Secretary of War : Hon. John B. Floyd,
of Virginia. Secretary of the Navy : Hon. Isaac
Toucey, of Connecticut. Secretary of the Interior :
Hon. Jacob Thompson, of Mississippi. Attorney
General: Judge Black, of Pennsylvania. Postmaster
General: Hon. Aaron V. Brown, of Tennesse.
Mr. Seward, senator from the state of New York,
presented what is " a petition from certain
British subjects," setting forth that "as Lord
Palmerston's act in surrendering the maritime
rights of that government is an act of high treason,
those rights will revert to the British crown and
nation as soon as the guilty party shall be impeached
for that crime ; that the petitioners have heard
that the President of the United States is about
proposing the terms on which the declaration
of Paris will be agreed to by the United
States ; that such an act would be one
of • connivance with Lord Palmerston in
his attempt to possess himself of an arbitrary
power, foreign to the British constitution and to
the constitution of the United States ; and pray
Congress to refuse their sanction to any convention
with Great Britain founded on the illegal,
treasonable, and invalid declaration at Paris. Lord
Napier. the new British Minister, had arrived at
New York in thp
-ceac>
on foot, to tender a public reception or testimonial,
and thus reciprocate the friendly feeling of the
Liverpool Merchants,' who had entertained the
American minister to Great Britain, Mr. Dallas,
in so handsome a manner. Appropriations have
been made for exploration and verification of the
surveys for a ship canal at the Isthmus of Darien,
and the extension of the surveys and completion
of the exploration of the Parana and Paraguay
rivers. The Legislature of Missouri has
adopted an amendment to the Constitution,
limiting the State debt to 30,000,000 dollars
At New Orleans advices have been received from
Vera Cruz, stating that the waggon road from
Minititlan to Ventosa Bay, across the Isthmus of
Tehuantepec, had been completed, in accordance
with the terms of the Sloo grant, and that waggons
had been driven across, conveying the American
consul at Vera Cruz, General Gutereiz, of Mexico,
and others. Carriages passed over the whole line.
to the Pacific terminus on the 4th of January, thus
insuring the privileges guaranteed by the Mexican
government It is thought that the road will be
completed and opened to the travelling public by
the Ist of June.

The local and domestic news this morning is
meagre in the extreme. The assizes were formally
opened on Saturday. Baron Martin and Mr.
Justice Crowder are the judges. The trials will
commence at nine o'clock this morning. A detach-
ment of troops ordered for service in China, and
comprising some eight companies, or 700 in all,
are to be reviewed at Portsmouth this day,
previous to their embarkation. No further
reinforcements are at present to be sent out.
The arrangements which were abruptly brought
to a conclusion for entertaining Farouk Khan may
now be resumed, for the Persian envoy has at last
reached London. The reas,m he did not come
some weeks ago we made known at the time—the
sudden rupture of the negotiations for peace.
Up to the hour of going to press there were no
tidings of the Niagara, which was to sail frem
B oston on the 11th inst.

PRESIDENT BUCHANAN has entered upon his
.office as Chief Magistrate of the United States.
We laid before the inhabitants of the North, ex-
clusively, his inaugural address on Saturday.
Few, if any, of the Presidents cf the American
Union have assumed office whose advent to power
has been regarded by the people of this country
with greater concern. His political antecedents,
sympathy with the slaveholders of the South, and
his strong desire to extend the boundaries, and
the political and commercial influence of the
star-spangled banner to the most distant part of
the habitable globe, as well as his prominent con-
nection with the Ostend Manifesto, and his
avowed leanings to an anti-English policy,
combined to cause this country to regard him as
one whose proceedings, as those of a man armed
with great executive power, should he suspected,
dreaded, and his every movement watched with
jealousy. It was such feeling's as those that in-
duced politicians in this country to wish that
Colonel FREMONT had been the successful candi-
date for the Presidency. That hope being frus-
trated, the next aspiration was that on the
assumption of office Mr. BUCHANAN would disap-
point the fears of those who had augured least
unfavourably of him.
The inaugural address we must admit is the
sentiments of a really enlightened statesman. It
realises the hope of the friends of peace and pro-
gress. Its tone is not more dignified and firm,
than moderate and conciliatory. He sets out by
