MINISTERIAL MOVEMENTS

Lord JOHN RUSSELL arrived in town yesterday
morning from Wimbledon, and attended last evening
in the House of Commons.

A number of new appointments will be made both
in the Administration, and also in the Royal House-
hold next week, on the return of her MAJESTY and the
Court from Osborne House.

Places have, it is understood, been assigned to Lord
FALIELAIQD (who is returning from North America),
and also to the Hon. Mr. PHIPPS, the brother of Lord

his official capacity. JU6TUS LIEBIG and VICTOR HuGo
are severally ennobled by name, as an acknowledgmezt
that they were previously ennobled by nature : but
FARADAY and DICKENS must content themselves with
the vague admiration of their Countrymen. One
nation bestows the ermine and the coronet upon the
successful author gr the astute philosopher, the other
evinces its approvia by endowing their hands with a
knife and fork, and by proposing their health in a
neat after-dinner oration. Though the latter appears
somewhat like squeamish generosity and spurious
gratitude, we welcome it cordially it' default of some-
thing better.

A letter from Constantinople, of the 24th ult., in
a German paper, mentions, as an unprecedented
instance of toleration in Turkey, that the marriage
of an Armenian female with a Turk, without her
having previously abjured her religion, has been
declared valid.

The Swiss Diet was opened at Zurich on the 6th
instant. A note has been addressed to the Govern-
ment of the canton of Tesino, by the POPE'S Nuncio,
complaining of some laws recently enacted. The
note declares these laws to be oppressive, and op-
posed to the spirit of toleration.

Advices from Rome of the 2d, state that the pub-
lication of the amnesty will not be long delayed. The
authorities are busy at present in collecting and classi-
fying the names of the persons condemned, and
whilst waiting until this is fininhed, his Holiness grants
pardon to all demanding it. The nomination of the
two Secretaries of State, without being yet official,
appears to be determined on—Cardinal Gizzi for
Foreign Affairs, and Cardinal AMAT Dl SAN
FILIPPO E SORSO.

The fete of St. Peter was celebrated on the 29th.
Notwithstanding the harmony which exists between
the Courts of Rome and Naples, the POPE protested
anew on this occasion against the conduct of the
King of NAPLES, who refuses to pay the pretended
tribute for the investiture of his kingdom.

Madrid papers to the 6th inst. inst. have arrived.

The Herald°, of the 4th, states that some persons
in the province of Orense had been exhibiting the
portrait of the son of Don CARLOS for sale, but that
it had met with few purchasers.
All parties in Spain were preparing for the elections.
_ _

The Absolutists had met at the Duke of VERE
GUA'S, and had come to the following resolutions?—

" Ist. The Absolutist party will present itself at the
election. 2dly, the Absolutists elected will use their in-
fluence in the urging the marriage of the Queen with the
Count de Montermolin (son of Don Carlos). idly, a mani-
festo shall be drawn up with this view."

The hopes of this party, however, have been greatly
discouraged by the refusal of the Marquis DE VILLUMA
to sign the manifesto in question, and so completely
are they broken down as a party, that this appeal to
the electors will not, it is expected, produce the
slightest effect.
Intelligence has reached Madrid, from Santander,
of the total failure of the potato crop in that part of
Spain, in consequence of the re-appearance of the po-
tato disease.

The diligence, which left Madrid for Bayonne on
the 3d, met with a fearful accident on the morning of
the 6th in the Spanish Pyrennees, at a hill called
Rentoria. Descending at too rapid a pace, in turning
an angle, the carriage, passengers, and nine mules were
precipitated over a steep precipice. The first fall
was upwards of twenty feet, and all would have been
rolled into the abyss beneath but for the intervention
of some trees. Strange to say, none of the passengers
were seriously injured. Among the number were
P. S. BUTLER, Esq., M.P. ; Mr. CORBET, nephew to J.
BLACKBOURNE, M.P. Esq. ; Capt. WILSON, late 7th
Hussars, and Captain PILKINGTON, Royal Engineers.
Of these, the three first escaped unhurt, but the last
was seriously bruised. The rest of the party were
more or less contused, but were able to proceed in the
course of
,the day.
One of the Madrid papers, of the 6th, repeats the
report of the loss of 600 troops on the coast of Al-
meira, by the sinking of a steamer, in consequence
of her being overloaded ; and it is added, that although
representations had been previously made to General
RONCALI by the captain on the danger of such over-
loading, that officer maintained the order for their
embarkation which he had given. We, however,
believe this report to be unfounded, for the Gazette
of the previous day announced the arrival at Tarra-
gona of the steamer Alerta, with 600 troops on board,
who had been embarked- for that place under the
orders of General RONCALI.

Advices from Lisbon to the Ist inst. had been re-
ceived at Madrid Everything was tranquil at that
date, and the excitement in the public mind seemed

calming.

We have received the Paris papers of Friday and
Saturday.
The dreadful accident on the Great Northern

Railroad is the one all-absorbing topic in France at
the present moment. Even the approaching elections
remain unheeded. In another part of our paper will
be found full particulars of all that has been published
on the subject of this horrible catastrophe.
The annual banquet given to M. GuizoT by his
constituents at Lisieux is fixed for the 26th, when,
as usual, the Minister will give an exposition of his
future policy. It is said that his programme will in-
clude several most important reforms. M. GUIZOT

left Paris on Saturday for the neighbourhood of

Lisieux

pied during nearly the whole of the present Parliament.

appointed Solicitor-General. This arrangement will save
Mr. Baillie Cochrane the trouble, expense, and mortification,
which must have been the results of another contested

Mr. Dundas, issued his printed address to the electors of Brid-
