We read in the Independence Beige of yesterday,
the 7th inst.—
" We now know in tbe.most positive manner that the
reason given by the Handelsblad for the departure of the
s on leave Hague is completely devoid of
f°leave of absence, and not from
rEerucealanldcia'hniec°lluov:sye Itql.ureoim nce of the rejection of the copyright-
treaty, that Baron Andre has proceeded to Paris. It
appears that the Handlesblad in first publishing this news
was the dupe of a (also rumour circulated for a specula-
tion on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange. The Govern-
ment it is said, ordered the strictest inquiries to be
made h
tr has,
the culpable authors of the deceit."

ITALY.
The Opinione, of the 3,1 hint., quotes the following
from Milan :-
6, We have had a, t Milan a rather strange scene.
Near the Church of bt• Mary, en Englishman, speaking
broken Laliri and holding in his hand the Italian tri-
coloured flag, cried out from a window that that flag
would one day be hoist:id throughout It2ly, and that, in
the meantime, he would hoist it himself in Lombardy.
A crowd soon collected in front of the house. The Com-
missary of Police, oweardt. vainly entreated the English-
man to be sil,nt, but the latter, as a true son of Albion,
tinned tho deaf ear to him. The gendarmes finding it
impossible to contain

lasted upwards of three hours, when the Englishman,
having bellowed to exhaustion, thought proper to with-
draw. The flag was immediately removed, and the
window closed. The crowd then quietly dispersed, and

THE SUN,

FRANCE.

The addresses from certain parties in England to
the people of France, giving assurance of good wishes,
presented by Mr. Elihu Burritt, have been very
kindly noticed by several leading journals. The Siècle
quite responds to the sentiment that, no matter what
changes may take place in the forms of government,
they ought not to affect the sympathies of nations for
one another. As a sign of a general tendency to-
wards peace ideas, the Siecle regards with satisfac-
tion the addresses presented through Mr. Burritt.
The Pays and other journals have also some observa-
tions in a similar spirit. If the amiable philan-
thropist through whose hands the addresses in ques-
tion have been presented did no more than elicit such
responses, his labours are rewarded ; for these answers
serve to show that the idea of war with other coun-
tries is not much in vogue at present.
The illoniteur contains a decree promoting General
of Brigade Lapene, in command of the artillery of
the Bth military division, to the rank of grand officer
of the Legion of Honour. Another decree promotes
M. Blanqui, of the Institute; and M. Vilene, Pro-
fessor of Philosophy at the College of Louis-le-Grand,
to the rank of officers.
The subscription in favour of Dr. Newman, opened
by the Univers, amounts to 17,578 f.
The Presse, in its weekly commercial bulletin,
says :—" The orders for exportation which usually
take place in the spring were retarded this year, and
have not been of their former importance, and conse-
quently the customs returns for the first half-year of
1852 showed a considerable falling off, but there is
reason to believe that the returns for the second half-
year will be more favourable, as the commission-
brokers who generally do not begin to give their
orders before September have been giving them
during the last three weeks. Business in almost
every branch of industry was very brisk in August,
and the manufacturers in the province agree in stating
that trade has improved. Several orders have arrived
from Russia. They are all fur articles of the best
kind, as the rate of duties is so high in Russia that
it does not answer to import inferior articles. As
weather has dissipated

accounts now state that the yield is good. In the
Bas-Rhin, the Prefect has informed
as nformed the Council-
General of his department that he had season to
believe the wheat crcp wi •
ll exceed that of 1851 and
that the crop of •
potatoes
will be three or four times
more considerable than that of
lieve,
however, notwithstanding what is now said,
that the crops of 1852 will not be found to be good
either in France or in the principal countries of
western Europe."

MEETING AT LORD DERBY'S.

We understand that a very numerous and influ-
ential meeting of the Conservative Party, consist-
ing of members of both Houses of Parliament was
held this morning, in Downing-street, at the official
residence of Lord Derby. His Lordship addressed
the meeting at length, stating his determination, at
all.sacrifiees of personal convenience, not to aban-
don the powerful party of which he is at present
the leader ; but to continue to guide their councils.
The most gratifying Unanimity prevailed ; and
we believe that we are fully justified in stating that
an unqualified resolution was expressed by the
meeting to continue their undiminished confidence
in their Leaders in both Houses of Parliament.

LONDON, MONDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1852,

THE MINISTRY.

The various departments of the new Ministry
are in course of formation. We shall give the
particulars whenever they assume an authentic

shape.

England is again in search of a stable Govern-
ment. DrOGENES in search of a just man, and
ecELEBs in search of a wife, were nothing to it.
The discovery would appear, from a very pro-
longed and lamentable experience, to be scarcely
less problematical than the discovery of the cor-
rect method of calculating the longitude. Whether
the present adventure can prove in any way more
successful than its immediate predecessors, remains
to be demonstrated. It has yet to be decided
'whether a compact and efficient Cabinet can be
constructed out of the heterogeneous forces of the
Opposition. The principal difficulty seems, in
thetY, to have arisen, in the two last instances before
the public, from the abruptness of the downfall of
A.,:bninistration. In February came Lord J.
RussELes, and in December the Earl of DERBY'S
resignation.—both suddenness, with an almost astounding
"11--.4•Le Whig Obstructive threw up
somewhat office in a moreenta
ry pet, consequent upon his
eus
tion affecting the defeat upon a great ques-
stabil-
ity of the British empire—
a defeat, too (that was the
poison in the sting),
accomplished with the „
sunny ease of Lord
PALMERSTO.N'S RtateikitaartShip ! Contrary
Reformer has be en forced into
to this, the Tory
eover, by the in-
minority actually upon the " Ways and Means
of the country—and this, mores
genious wiles and tactics of a rather motley coali-
tion ! It is the fact. We are talking of circum-
stances notorious to all intelligent men in the
United Kingdom. Aware of the rapidity and
unexpectedness of these official overthrows, we
can comprehend the confusion created in both in-
stances in the process of the new Leader under-
taking the formation of a Government. Why the
precise truth is simply this—that the Administra-
tor sent for by Her MAJESTY was for the moment
unprepared. Hence the Earl of DERBY had, in
February, hastily, and to a great extent, without
much premeditation, to groupe a band of colleagues
together in the consolidation of that Ministry, the
arrangement of which had been summarily thrust
upon him, nolens volens, by the Whig First Lord
of the Treasury's petulant resignation. Hence,
again, whoever may be ultimately selected by the
SOVEREMN to act as the Noble ex-Premier's suc-
cessor—whether it be the Earl of ABERDEEN or
London, England, 1852-12-20

THE CONTINENT.

SPAIN—NEW MINISTRY.
Letters from Madrid of the 14th inst. inform us
that the Ministry of Bravo Murillo exists no longer.
The previous clay, at half-past four, the President
of the Council waited on the Queen, and tendered
the resignation of himself and all his colleagues,
which was accepted on the spot.
The Queen then sent for General Roncali, who
undertook to form a Ministry.
Numerous conferences took place between the
general and eminent political characters, and the
' following names were expected to appear next day
in the Madrid Gazette :
General Rojacali, president of the Council of

BELGIUM.

The Belgian Senate has adopted by 30 votes to
nine the bill for preventing insults by the press on
foreign sovereigns.
The anniversary of the birthday of the King of
the Belgians, was celebrated at .Brussels on Wed-
nesday evening and Thursday morning with great
enthusiasm. On Wednesday night there was a
grand performance at the Theatre Royal, at which
all the high civil and military functionaries were pre-
sent, and also the young Princes, with the grand offi-
cers of the royal household. After the first act of the
opera the curtain drew up for a cantata in honour of
the King. The Duke de Brabant and the Count de
Flandre rose at the cry of " Vive le Roi l" which
proceeded from every part df the theatre, and bowed
to the audience. The cry was then repeated with
great enthusiasm. On Thursday the bells of all
the churches rang merry peals, and most of the
houses were decorated with flags. At noon a Te
Deum was sung at the church of St. Michel et
Gudule ; the King, the Princes, and the Princess
Charlotte, with the corps diplomatique, the great
officers of the household, and the high civil and
military functionaries, were present. On the occa-
sion of this anniversary, the King issued decrees
appointing his son, the Duke de Brabant, Captain
of Infantry of the first-class ; and his second son,
the Count de Flandre, Captain-Commandant of
Cavalry. The King of the Belgians entered his
63d year on Thursday.
London, England, 1852-12-20

NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE.

A special meeting of this company was held at the
station, Stoke-upon-Trent, on Saturday, to approve or
disapprove of the terms of the proposed amalgamation
with the London and North-Western Company—Mr.
Broderick, deputy-chairman, presided.
The CHAIRMAN. in his introductory address, expressed
his regret that serious illness prevented the attendance
of the chairman, Mr. Ricardo, M.P. He read the award
of Messrs. Stephenson and Hope, to whom the question
of amalgamation of the two companies had been referred.
By the terms of the award, it is proposed that the
London and North-Western shall give 3 per cent.
the first year, 31 per cent. the second, and 31 per
cent, for ihe third and all succeeding years, to
the North Staffordshire proprietors, upon their paid-
up capital ; the North-Western to have the option
of converting, at six months' notice, the North Staf-
fordshire shares into North-Western stock. The arrange-
ment to take effect after an Act of Parliament had been
obtained, three applications—in the event of their neces-
sity, through one or two failing—to Parliament being
provided for. Since the terms of the award have been
made public, the directors of this company have en-
deavoured to procure some modification of them, espe-
cially respecting the proposition for converting North
Stafford shares into North-Western stock, and the time
at which the proposed arrangement should take effect.
The result of the negotiations was, that the clause
respecting the conversion of the stock would be aban-
doned, and the traffic arrangements between the two com-
panies would commence from the Ist of January next,
after which time the proprietors would be entitled to a
dividend at the rate of 3 per cent., the first half-year
to become due on the 30th of June. The traffic
arrangement would not depend upon Parliamentary
sanction. The chairman alluded to the number of junc-
tions (five) which their railway had with the North-
Western, as a strong reason for the amalgamation of
the two lines ; and said that by the union of the two
companies the shareholders in each would be benefited;
while, what was equally important, the public would be
better accommodated,

A resolution, approving of the proposed amalgama-
tion, was carried unanimously.
Mr. HAYWOOD moved a vote of thanks to the chair-
man and directors, and in doing so took the opportunity
of alluding to the manner in which the line had been
worked. He mentioned that of the several millions of
passengers carried on the railway not one person had
lost his life in consequence'of mismanagement.
The CHAIRMAN having replied to the vote of thanks,
the meeting separated.

The number of notaries in France in 1850, says the
Notariat, was 9,824, and the number of deeds and acts

NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE.

A special meeting of• this company was held at the
station, Stoke-upon-Trent, on Saturday, to approve or
disapprove of the terms of the proposed amalgamation
with the London and North-Western Company—Mr.
Broderick, deputy-chairman, presided.
The CHAIRMAN, in his introductory address, expressed
his regret that serious illness prevented the attendance
of the chairman, Mr. Ricardo, M.P. He read the award
of Messrs. Stephenson and Rope, to whom the question
of amalgamation of the two companies had been referred.
By the terms of the award, it is proposed that the
London and North-Western shall give 3 per cent.
the first year, 3 per cent, the second, and 31 per
cent. for the third and all succeeding years, to
the North Staffordshire proprietors, upon their paid-
up capital ; the North-Western to have the option
of converting, at six months' notice, the North Staf-
fordshire shares into North-Western stock. The arrange-
ment to take effect after an Act of Parliament had been
obtained, three applications—in the event of their neces-
sity, through one or two failing—to Parliament being
provided for. Since the terms of the award have been
made public, the directors of this company have en-
deavoured to procure some modification of them, espe-
cially respecting the proposition for converting North
Stafford shares into North-Western stock, and the time
at which the proposed arrangement should take effect.
The result of the negotiations was, that the clause
respecting the conversion of the stock would be aban-
doned, and the traffic arrangements between the two com-
panies would commence from the Ist of January next,
after which time the proprietors would be entitled to a
dividend at the rate of 3 per cent., the first half-year
to become due on the 30th of June. The traffic
arrangement would not depend upon Parliamentary.
sanction. The chairman alluded to the number of junc-
tions (five) which their railway had with the North-
Western, as a strong reason for the amalgamation of
the two lines ; and said that by the union of the two
companies the shareholders in each would be benefited;
while, what was equally important, the public would be
better accommodated.

A resolution, approving of the proposed amalgama-
tion, was carried unanimously.
Mr. HAYWOOD moved a vote of thanks to the chair-
man and directors, and in doing so took the opportunity
of alluding to the manner in which the line had been
worked. He mentioned that of the several millions of
passengers carried on the railway not one person had
lost his life in consequence of mismanagement.
The CHAIRMAN having replied to the vote of thanks,
the meeting separated.

The number of notaries in France in 1850, says the
Nwas 9,824, and the number of deeds and acts
of o v
eriat' rykind to which they affixed their signatures was

LONDON, MONDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1852.

THE MINISTRY.

The various departments of the new Ministry
are in course of formation. We shall give the
particulars whenever they assume an authentic

shape.

England is again in search of a stable Govern-
ment. DIOGENES in search of a just man, and
CCELEBS in search of a wife, were nothing to it.
The discovery would appear, from a \ very pro-
longed and lamentable experience, to be scarcely
less problematical than the discovery of the cor-
rect method of calculating the longitude. Whether
the present adventure can prove in any way more
Successful than its immediate predecessors, remains
to be demonstrated. It has yet to be decided
whether a compact and efficient Cabinet can be
constructed out of the heterogeneous forces of the
°PPosition. The principal difficulty seems, in
reality, to have arisen in the two last instances before
the
Puulie, from the abruptness of the downfall of
the A
clruinistration. In February came Lord J.
RUSSELI:s, and in
resignation both both December the Earl of DERBY'S
with an almost astounding
suddenness. The
Whig Obstructive threw up
office in a momentary
pet, consequent upon his
somewhat ignominious us defeat upon a great ques-
tion affecting the stab
ility of the British empire—
a defeat, too (that was the poison iii the sting),
accomplished with the ,caunny„
ease of Lord
PALMERSTON'S insulted statesmanship I Contrary
to this, the Tory Reformer has been forced into a
minority actually upon the "Ways and. Means"
of the country—and this,
moreover, by the in-
genious -wiles and tactics of a rather motley coati_
tion ! It is the fact. We are talking of _
stances notorious to all intelligent /lam
in the
United Kingdom. Aware of the rapidity and
unexpectedness of these official overthrows, we
can comprehend the confusion created in both in-
stances in the process of the new Leader under-
taking the formation of a Government. Why the
precise truth is simply this—that the Administra-
tor sent for by Her MAJESTY was for the moment
unprepared. Hence the Earl of DERBY had, in
February, hastily, and to a great extent, without
much tVt premeditation, to rou e a band of colleagues lys together in the gP
consolidationof that Ministry,the
irrafzement of which had been summarily thrust
him, nolens volens, by the Whig First Lord
-bf t.l Treasury's petulant resignation. Hence,
- • agaifi, whoever may be ultimately selected by the
SOYEA.EIGN to act as the Noble ex-Premier's sue-
cesr—whether it be the Earl of ADERDEEN or

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful
consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which
have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any
other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The
celebtreatm mend
tted
adopted is founded on experience gained in the most
schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe.
The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under
the per supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few
°gaily qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un-
divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short,
every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental
to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and
ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation
of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical
and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient
guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care
m with that consideration and
will, in every instce,
inviolable secrecy an
which areeet so requisite Indelicate the treatment of these
Cases.

man, was brought up for re-examination, charged with
having in his possession a gold watch and a valuable
diamond ring, supposed to be stolen. He was also
charged on suspicion with stealing a cash-box, contain-
ing 1201., from the Red Cow Tavern, Dalston.
Sergeant Richards, an officer of the. M division, stated
that on Monday evening he saw the prisoner, with seve-
ral other suspicious characters, in a coffee-house in
Union-street. He waited outside for a short time, and
as soon as the prisoner came out he ran away as fast as
he could. Witness pursued him, believing that some-
thing was wrong, and captured him in the Bow-road,
when, on searching him, he found upon him a gold
watch, a diamond ring, and three sovereigns.
Mr. Jno. Chase, the landlord of the Red Cow, said that
on the 22d of July last, he was robbed of his cash-box,
containg 1201. and upwards. He saw it safe inside a
cupboard behind the bar at 2 o'clock, when he went out,
and, on his return at 5 o'clock, he was told that the
cash-box and contents had been stolen. Prior to his
going out witness left two men standing at the bar door,
partaking of bread and cheese and ale. He believed the
prisoner to be one of the men, but could not positively
swear to him.

Wm. Smith, waiter in the last witness's employ, said
he saw the two men standing at the bar. The prisoner
resembled one of them, but he could not swear to him.

,
The magistrate then ordered the prisoner to be dis-
charged, and on his leaving the court he was arrested by
a sheriff's officer, and consigned to Horsemonger-lane
Gaol for debt. Several of his companions attempted to
rescue him from the officers.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

T.ll6re is now no doubt that we shall have. another Board
Of Admiralty, for the Earl of Aberdeen arrived in town
last night (having been conveyed to and fro between South-
ampton and Osborne by the Fairy), charged by her Majesty
to construct a new Cabinet. Mr. Sidney Herbert, as we.
anticipated on Saturday, is already looked upon as the new
First Lord, with the Hon. Henry Fitzroy, M.P., who was
formerly the civilian member of Lord Haddington's board,
as secretary; but another report gives the chief seat to Sir
James Graham. Among those names for the other seats,
are Vice-Admiral Sir G. Seymour and Rear-Admiral Berke-
ley, for senior naval lords ; and Rear-Admirals Sir J. Stir-
ling and Hon. H. J. Rous, Captains W. F. Martin and
Hon. R. S. Dundas, as junior lords.

THE NEW MINISTRY.

(From the Morning Herald.)

As we stated on Saturday, the Earl of Derby left
London on Friday afternoon for Osborne, to tender his
resignation and that of his colleagues to the Queen. The
noble earl returned to London on Saturday morning,
and at three o'clock in the afternoon, a Cabinet Council
was held, when his lordship intimated to the Ministers
the result of his interview with her Majesty. It is un-
derstood that Lord Derby suggested to the Queen that
it was desirable the Marquis of Lansdowne should be
summoned to Osborne ; but, as it was known that the
noble marquis was not likely to accept office, a Govern-
ment messenger was dispatched to London to summon
the Earl of Aberdeen. Accordingly yesterday morning
the noble earl left London for the Isle of Wight, and had
the honour of an interview with the Queen in the course
of the day. His lordship returned to town yesterday
evening, and immediately paid a visit to the Marquis of
Lansdowne, and some of his colleagues in the late Sir
R. Peel's Administration.

The following names have been mentioned as likely to
form a portion of the new Ministry ; but, as nothing is
yet definitively settled, we of course give them merely as
what we believe, as far as matters have gone, will be
likely to prove correct in the main :

The Earl of Aberdeen—First Lord of the Treasury.
Sir J. Graham—Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Lord J. Russell—Home Secretary.
Viscount Canning—Foreign Secretary.
Right Hon. W. Gladstone—Colonial Secretary.
Right Hon. Sidney Herbert—First Lord of the Ad-
miralty. _ _

The Earl of Clarendon President of the Council.
The Duke of Argyle—Lord Privy Seal.
The Earl of Granville—President of the Board of Con-
trol.

Right Hon. E. Cardwell, President of the Board of
Trade.

The Marquis of Cla.nricarde—Postmaster General.
Lord Seymour—First Commissioner of Woods and
Forests.

The Duke of Newcastle—Governor General of India.
In addition to the names mentioned above, it is
likely that the office of Lord Chancellor will be offered
to Lord Cranworth, and Lord Chancellor of Ireland or,
Attorney General for Ireland to Mr. Brewster.
