MINISTERIAL CRISIS.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, on the
motion being read fir going into a Committee of Ways
and Means, said—Sr, I believe it will be convenient to
the public service tint the house at its rising do adjourn
until Monday next, at two o'clock. I therefore make
that motion.

On the motion berg put,
Colonel SIBTHORP said, no blame could attach to
the Government or the right hon. gentleman for these
repeated adjournments. The country was being kept in
unnecessary suspense; and he could not help feeling that
it was in consequence of the incompetency of those who
had wrested the government of the countryfrom the hands
of those who were competent to hold it. They were like
Sir John Falstaff's rigged staff—without a single effi-
cient man amongst them. He trusted, however, the
country would express its sense of the conduct of these
black sheep, who vould shew themselves in their
true colours before many weeks elapsed. He had thought
it his duty to make these few observations on the part of
the country. (Laughter from the Opposition.) Hon.
members might laugh, but they would find his predic-
tions were correct.
The motion for adjorrnment was then agreed to.
ARCTIC EXPEDITION.
On the motion that the order of the day be read,
Sir R. H. INGLIS took the opportunity of express-
ing a hope that the new Government, when they came
into office, would adopt or extend the measures of the
present Government relative to the Arctic Expedition.
The orders of the day were then postponed until
Monday.
The house then adjcurned.

BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY having been
now before the Public since 1825, the proof of its excellence in
its use by discriminative consumers being continuous and increasing.
and its purity and excellence being vouched for by the HIGHEST

in inviting universal attention to it as an article of incomparable
merit. Their PATENT METALLIC CAPSULES are, at the same time,
effective security to the public against the fraudulent substitution of
any inferior article, whether as regards their PATENT BRANDY,
their celebrated Whiskey, " THE DEW OFF BEN NEVIS," or
their STANDARD OF COGNAC BRANDY; either of which may be
cMained of respectable Wine and Spirit Merchants throughout the

MARKET NEWS-(THIS .DAY.

CORN EXCHANGE.
The present week's arrival of English Wheat up to our
market, coastwise, has been only 1,850 quarters, almost
wholly from Essex and Rent. The receipts by land car-
riage fresh up to-day were small, and greatly out of con-
dition. As the attendance of both Town and County"
buyers was limited, the amount of business doing in all
kinds of Wheat of home produce was trifling at about
Monday's prices. For forward delivery next to nothing
was passing.
The imports of Wheat from abroad have amounted to
8,190 quarters. Fine dry samples sold slowly at full cur"
rencies ; but low and middling parcels were quite ne-
glected.
Floating cargoes of Grain met a dull inquiry.
The show of both English and Foreign Barley being con-

SMITHFIELD.
This being what is termed a holiday market, the suppli of beasts was very limited ; nevertheless, as the attend" ance of buyers was trifling, the demand for that descrir tion of stock ruled heavy, at Monday's prices. In sheep
so little business was transacted that the quotations were almost nominal. The number on show was small, and In
middling condition. Although the supply of calves was
limited, the veal trade was heavy, at a decline in the cur-
rencies of quite 2d. per 81bs. In pigs scarcely any trans-
actions were reported.
Milch cows were very dull, at from 141. to 181. ss. each,
including their small calf.

STATE OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER; DEC. 23.—The Liverpool merchants
and speculators appear to take much the same view as
the Americans, respecting the probable yield of the
cotton crop ; for, a rather better state of things
with us does not enable them to quote any ad-
vance upon the rates of last Friday ; at which,
however, they are decidedly firm. The prevailing
opinion here is, that the quantity of the raw
material is pretty sure to keep it moderate in price ;
probably to bring it (with intermediate upward oscilla-
tions) to a lower range, by and by, than the present one.
Should this be so, it must of course tend to modify the
action of any circumstances which would raise the prices
of our productions ; and this view produces a general
feeling of caution amongst buyers. But the pro-
spects of demand for the coming year are good ;
and this encouraging fact is inducing some increase
of business, and causing spinners and manufac-
turers rather to harden in their terms. Speaking of
yarns and goods at large, they cannot now be had at
the lowest prices which the reaction from the high
range of October caused them lately to touch. Do-
mestics are still flat ; but there are signs of approach-
ing business ; while T cloths and printing cloths
are becoming dearer under an increasing call for
them. The German and Mediterranean merchants
are still out of the market ; but the India and China
houses, influenced by favourable advices, continue their
operations, under the action of which 40's and 50's
mule yarns have gained id. per lb. of what they had
lost, and water twist and 40-inch shirtings are becoming
dearer. At the same time the greater demand for East-
ern fabrics and printing cloths is leading to purchases of
suitable yarns by the manufacturers, and to a conse-
quent hardening in terms on the part of spinners of
medium counts. The principal cause of anxiety respect-
ing the future is the long-continued fall of rain, whichis
now felt to be of serious import.—From the Manchester
Guardian of this day.

POST-OFFICE (DUBLIN).

Mr. BAIL asked the Secretary of the Treasury,
whether, in filling up the vacant office of President of
the Money Order Department in the Post-office in Dub-
lin, the usual practice of that department had been vio-
lated by the appointment to the vacancy of a person not
previously engaged in the public service.
Mr. HAMILTON said that no rule had been infringed
by the appointment of the gentleman in question.
It was true that he was not before in any way con-
nected with the department, but Lords Lichfield and
Clanricarde when Postmasters-General, had both ap-
pointed gentlemen to similar situations to the
Money Order-office in London, who were entirely
unconnected with the public service. The in-
dividual alluded to by the hon. member was for
eleven years the senior auditor of the Dublin Corpora-
tion accounts, and had repeatedly received a vote of
thanks from that body for the ability and integrity
which he had displayed in his office.
RAILWAY ACTS, &c.
Mr. G. H. WHALLEY gave notice of his intention
to move for a series of returns of the expenses incurred
in obtaining railway and other acts.

ALLEGED ATTEMPT TO SUPPRESS FREE

DISCUSSION AT GIBRALTAR.
Mr. BRIGHT said a deputation waited on the Secre-
tary for the Colonies some time since in reference to the
conduct of the Governor of Gibraltar, who, in March
last, had prevented the merchants and traders of that
town expressing their opinion at a public meeting with
regard to certain grievances of which they complained.
The right hon. gentleman gave the deputation to under-
stand that he would make inquiries into the circum-
stance, and he (Mr. Bright) wished to know whether any
answer had been received from the Governor on the
subject?
Sir J. PAKINGTON said he had addressed a letter
of inquiry to the Governor, but he had not received the
explanation which ho had oxpocted.
MINISTERIAL CRISIS.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said—
Mr. Speaker, I believe, sir, it will be for the conve-
nience of the public service that I should move that the
house, at its rising, do adjourn until two o'clock to-
morrow.

The motion was agreed to, and the house immediately
afterwards adjourned.
London, England, 1852-12-24

CLERIENWELL--(THIS DAY).

James Brows, dressed in the garb of a stableman, was
placed at the bar, before Mr. Tyrwhitt, charged with
stealing two sucking pigs, the property of Mr. Pratt,
butcher, of Gray's-inn-road.
It appeard from the evidence that the prisoner had
been seen banging about the prosecutor's shop for some
time, and last night, about ten minutes past six, while
Mr. Nora was inside his shop, serving a customer, the
prisoner vent up to the place where the pigs were lying,
and putting a cloth over them took them up and ran
away. The prosecutor followed him for some distance,
and hiF repeated cries of "stop thief" induced two coal
heavers to stop him, when he threw the pigs away.
Whet he was taken by Mr, Pratt he asked him what he
intended to do with him, s,nd when told that he would
be locked up, he said he hoped not, and made strenuous
efforts to make his escape, but was unsuccessful. Being
handed over to the custody of the police, he said he
bad done wrong, and was sorry for it. The pigs were
worth U.
The prisoner, who said nothing in his defence, was
committed for trial.

DRU2P LANE THEATRE.

No exertions arebeing spared on the part of the new
lessee, Mr. E. T. Snith, to relive the fortunes of Old
Drury. He protases two good qualifications for the
task—energy and htegrity, and we trust he may reap
a commensurate srecess. The season opens on Monday
with a three act drama, by Mr. Fitzball, founded on
the famous Uncle f'ont's Cabin, and a Pantomime, Har-
lequin Hudibras, yr Old Dame Durden and the Droll
Days of the Merry Monarch, written by Mr. E. L.
Blanchard, and reoduced under the direction of the
acti7e stage-manager, Mr. Edward Stirling. The mise
en scene will, we feel assured, be excellent, and the staff
is very strong, including the celebrated Tom Matthews,
as Clown ; Veron; an excellent Harleqpin ; the splendid
Louise Blanche, vs Columbine ; the astounding ca-Aor-
tionist, Devani ; acid the extraordinary La Perche evolu-
tionists, the Brotters Siegrist.

LATEST FROM FRANCE.

The Senate met yesterday, at half-past one o'clock,
pursuant to adjournment, to discuss the report of M.
Troplong on the SenatuB Consultum for the modifica-
tion of the Constitution. M. Mesnard, as usual, in
the ',hair. Another article has been added to the pro-
ject, so that it now consists of seventeen instead of
sixteen clauses. The new article is to the effect that
Lieutenant-Generals admitted on the half-pay list
may be named deputies. The Commission, more-
over, has added a few words to the 7th Article, which
specified that the French Princes, that is, the Princes of
the Imperial family, were of right senators at the age of
18 years ; the words now added are, " with the assent
of the Emperor." In v;rtue of another amendment, the
allowance of the deputies is increased to 2,500 f. instead
of 2,000 f, or for the year, independently of ex-
traordinary sessions. _ _

Some new suggestions have been proposed 4o the
Minister at War, with the view of rendering the army
" more efficient." The author of the plan, whose name
is not made public, proposes to convert the 25 regiments
of light infantry into rifle corps, but without the expense
attending a change in the staff. The idea is to com-
pose those 25 regiments of three battalions each
battalion to consist of six companies, four of chasseurs
wearing the same uniform and armed in the same man-
ner as the Chasseurs de Vincennes, and two companies
of Chasseurs-Tirailleurs, to be substituted for the existing
carabiniers and voltigeurs. The author of this plan
would further substitute the red trousers of the men for
grey cloth, as better calculated for troops
_employed as
an advanced guard or as Hankers.

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.

The picturesque melodrama of Mont St. Michel,
with its exquisite scenery, excellent acting, and
pretty music, pursues an attractive career, and im-
proves upon acquaintance. There is a slight but
judicious curteitment discernible since the first night
of representation, and it now constitutes as pleasing
a dramatic spectacle, or spectacular drama, as any
playgoer can desire to witness. The easy and effec-
tive drollery of Harley and Wright (the latter of
whom is now playing with a much refined comic
power) ; the artistic execution of Miss Carlotta Le
Clercq, especially her agile energy and fairy lightness
in the romantic scene where, like a beautiful phantom,
she enters and escapes by the casement; and the bold
stern bearing of Ryder, are severally admirable.
The interest of the piece is unquestionably monopo-
lised by Claire, the daughter of the Seigneur
of the Sands, whose repeated perils com-
mand a sustained sympathy, not the less
strong from the charming adequacy of her
personator. The sire and lover were doubtless ex•
cellent individuals in their way, and much beloved
about Avranches, but they lay no hold of our feel-
ings, and apart from the laudable desire to see right
triumphant in the long run, who really cares a doit
what becomes of them ? Now, though there are, we
grieve to say, no germs of grace discernible in De
Fortbras, he is such a fine manly looking fellow, that
it is next to impossible not to feel " a sneaking kind-
ness" for him, just as one cannot help having a pre-
ference for the gallant but very wicked Templar in
"Ivanhoe," over the virtuous but namby-pamby hero.
The dance in the first scene, a regular hit, is encored
nightly. The impression produced by the piece alto-
gether is highly agreeable, causing neither intense
excitement nor the least ennui.
