the KM. G#d.f of the 14th brings official
details of the Ministeriai crisis and the zanies of the
new Ministers. It states that at a Cabinet Council,
held after O'Donnell and Esoosura had given in
their resignations, the difficulty that had arisen
was discussed at great length, and that at a second
Council, held at the Palace, Espartero expressed his
opinion that it *as bdst hdth those Ministers should
remain or both retire. This was found irtipocisible,
and Espartero then declared his intention of resign-
ing, and his colleagues went with him. The Queen,
says the Government organ, thrice, advised and
asked him to remain and to settle the difficulty as
might best be decided by the Council, but he per-
sisted in relinquishing office, and her Majesty then
accepted the resignation of all the Ministry except
O'Donnell, to whom the formation of a new Go-
vernment was entrusted. The following are the
names :

President of the Council•--O'Donnell.
Poreio Affairs—Pastor Diaz.
Finance—Cantero.
Public Works—Collado.
Interior—Rios Rosas.
Grace atla Justice—Luzuriaga.
Marine—Pedro Bayarri.
A supplement to the Gazette contains the decrees
of nomination ; also two others, by which Rios
Rosas is appointed temporarily to fulfil the duties
of the Minister of Grace and Justice in the absence
of Luzuriaga, and O'Donnell those of the Minister
of Marine in the absence of Don Pedro Bayarri.
The Gazette also contains the decree putting
Spain under martial law.

man, Bart. The Marquis of Conyngham's yacht Cecile
is nearly ready for sea. The fleet of yachts in the road-
stead is daily increasing in number.
The Swedish yacht Aurora Borealis, offered for sale
by 'public auction, was bought in at 3,5001.

75 tons, belonging to the squadron ; Queen's Cup course.

THE NEW SQUADRON HOUSE.—The workmen com-
menced pulling down the western wing of Cowes Castle
on Tuesday, and the whole is already levelled with the
ground. It is on this part that the look-out tower is to
be erected. The alterations are calculated to cost 5,0001.,
and the contractors are bound to complete the whole,
ready for occupation, by the last day of thcember next.

SITTINGBOURNE AND SHEERNESS

RAIL WAY.

Seven miles of railway to a Government dock across
a flat, with all the landholders consenting, a ferry pur-
chased (producing 1,0001. a-year), and the monopoly of
a whole island's communication, are some of the singular
advantages held forth to shareholders in this railway.
Messrs. Jackson and Beane, the great contractors, have
undertaken to make the whole line within the estimate,
and to have the railway ready for operation within 18
months from the commencement.

Thus, all law expenses and land expenses, and ex-
penses of opposition and doubtful contracts being done
away with, the Sittingbourne and Sheerness Railway
will have a fair trial. It is to join the East Kent line
at Sittingbourne, and pass through Milton by the ferry
over the Swale, through Queensborough, to the dockyard
at Sheerness—thus connecting Sheerness and Canter-
bury, Deal and Dover, London, Chatham, Maidstone,
Woolwich, Aldershot, Portsmouth, and Plymouth ;
while from the Eastern Counties, by Southend, it will
open up Paris and the continent, by a direct route, to
Norfolk, Suffolk, Lincolnshire, and the northern and
emtcrit counties. Short though it be, the traffic of this
line will be large ; and its returns of profit indisputable,
whether as respects goods or passenger traffic. It will,
of course, be supported by the Government, and is
highly patronised by the landed gentry of the county,
many of whom figure in the list of its directors. The
capital is 80,000/., in 8,000 shares of 101. each.

ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY OF

ENGLAND.

CHELMSFORD, FRIDAY NIGHT.

The show-yard to-days to which admission on the
three previous days was procured by the payment of
2s. 6(3., and to the cattle department for 55., was thrown
open to the public at is., and the agricultural labourers
and others for miles round have flocked into the town to
the number of from 18,000 to 20,000. It is estimated
that nearly 35,000 people have visited the shovryard
within the last four days.
At 10 o'clock this morning Lord Portman closed his
year of office as President of the Society, by distributing,
in the Shire-hall, the several prizes awarded to the suc-
cessful competitors for foreign stock, including M. Allier,
M. Eluard, M. Philippe, M. Cheradarne, the Comte de
Bouilli, and M. Doutrone. In addition to the money
value of the prizes, a gold medal was given by the so-
ciety to M. Engine Tisserand, the French commissioner,
and to each-of the three foreign jurors, M. Gareau, M.
de Villers Pith, and M. de Gingins d'Eclapens ; while a
silver medal was at the same time presented to each of
the successful exhibitors of continental stock. His
Lordship intimated that this was a new feature in the
proceedings of the society, and that in the introduction
of it on this occasion they bad followed the good ex-
ample set them by the Emperor of the French in offering
prizes for foreign stock.
With this ceremony the meeting of tha society at
Chelmsford, which was in every respect an interesting
one, may be said to have terminated.

CRICKET.—THE CRIMEAN CLUB V. THE BEST OF THE
ARMY.—Thii mi itary match took place yesterday at
Lord's. Only one innings each was played, and the
following is the score :—Uritnean Club.—First Innings,
184. The Army.—First Innings, 160.
A detailed return has been published of the sums cx.
pended on St. James's, Hyde, and the Green parks in
the years ending March, 1855, and March, 1856. In
the former year the total expenditure amounted to
12,7731., and in the latter to 19,3911. The chief item
of increase appears to be that in connection with the
improvements of Buckingham-gate.
ELECTION OF THE BISHOP OF GLOCESTER AND BRIS-.
TOL.—At a meeting of the Dean and Chapter of Bristol.
Cathedral, held yesterday morning, in pursuance of her
Majesty's conge (retire, the Rev. Charles Baring, M.A.,
was elected to the vacant see of Giocester and Bristol.
The proceedings, like all chapter meetings, were strictly
private.

The following passage occurs in an order of the day of
the Russian General commanding the corps of infantry,
whoh remains provisionally in the Crimea. It refers to
the burying place of the Allies :—" If they have been
our enemies they have not the less been brave men, who,
as well as thousands of our countrymen in these cam-
paigns, havo died as heroes on the field of honour.
They were men who preferred honour and their country
to all the possessions of the earth, and this is why it is
a sacred duty for every one to honour the memory of
those brave soldiers as we honour that of our own
comrades."

A BARONET ON THE STAGE.—On Monday night Sir
William Doo, Bart., made his appearance at the Theatre
Royal, Manchester, in one of the last new dramatic pro-
ductions, the " Evil Genius," from the pen of Mr. Buck-
stone, if we are rightly informed. Sir William, 9n his
first appearance in Manchester some few years ago, was
evidently a close imitator of Buckstone. Absence from
his model has wrought an in3provernent, but there is
still the same Buckstone smang, and the movements of
his original. The eccentric baronet, however, is by no
means destitute of original talent; his acting is easy aud
natural, and free to a great extent from affectation and
stage conventionalism.—Manchester Guardian.

CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT Br A BANK MANAGER.—
TEWKESBURY, Thursday.—Considerable sensation has
been created by the apprehension of Mr. Theodore
Waus, late manager of the Tewkesl;ury branch of the
Gloucestershire Bank, on a charge of having embezzled
moneys to the amount of upwards of 3,0001. The ac-
cused has been brought before the magistrates of the
borough, and an inquiry partially entered into. He is
charged with having advanced to several parties sums
of money amounting to between 1,7001. and 1,8001.,
which sums were not entered in the banking books. The
accused was remanded for a time, to make further in-
veAtigations. Bail was offered.
PEMBROKE, July 18.—The Cordelia, screw, has just

Superintendent ; and, as the Cordelia is required for
immediate service, she is being rigged and fitted with all
speed prior to being navigated round to Devonport for
commissioning. She is to carry 10 guns with a heavy
one amidships. The following are her chief dimensions :

FRANCE.
PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING.

"The Emperor," says the Constitutionnel, "is
not expected in Paris before the 25th. His Ma-
jesty, previously to his return, is to go to Lune-
ville to be present at some grand cavalry manceu
ores."
General Narvaez left Paris this evening for
Bayonne.
M. Olozaga, the Spanish ambassador at Paris,
left this evening, accompanied by his family, for
the Pyrenees.
The French government has already given orders •
for the formation of an army of observation on the
Spanish frontier.
The Prefect of the Seine has just received from
the Lord Mayor of London a fifth remittance of
100,000 fr. on account of the subscription opened
in that city for the benefit of the sufferers by the
inundations.
The Minister of War has just decided that the
only seamen of the Imperial navy entitled to the
Crimean medal awarded by Queen Victoria are
those who belonged :-1, to a Frenkch vessel of
war within the period comprised between the
landing of the Allies in the Crimea and the taking
of Sebastopol ; that is, from the 14th of September,
1854, to the Bth of September, 1855 ; 2, to the
crews landed before Sebastopol and employed at
the batteries ; and 3, to the officers, non-commis-
sioned officers, cannoniers, or privates of the
marine troops having, within the above period,
served either at Sebastopol, Eupatoria, Kertch,
Yenikale, or in the Sea of Azoff.
The insurrection in Madrid has inspired the
Debats with the following reflections :
"The withdrawal of Marshal Espartero is an import-
ant event, 'he consequences of which cannot as yet be
appreciated. For the last two years the union of the
two marshals and their simultaneous presence in the
councils of the Queen was considered by all as a neces-
sity. What has been the result of their separation ?
What must have greatly facilitated the formation of the
new government, presided over by Marshal O'Donnell,
without the assistance of Espertero, was the reaction
which had strongly set in at Madrid and in the pro-
vinces against the excesses of the demagogues and com-
munists ' • the population was alarmed by the ruthless-
ness of the bands organised with a view of murder,
incendiarism, and pillage. It is probable that this
reaction had decided the Queen to confide the
formation of a cabinet to O'Donnell, and that the latter
accepted the mission without hesitation. To judge by
the last political bearing of Marshal O'Donnell, we be-
lieve that he will rule with firmness and moderation
without overstepping the law. Firmness, energy, and
activity are the dominant qualities of O'Donnell ; he has
displayed them frequently during the past two years,
not only in his functions of Minister of War, but also in
the general direction of affairs. He is endowed with an
active mind and a prompt intelligence ; be exercises a
great authority over the army, and succeeded almost in
conquering an equal authority in the Assembly. We are
familiar with what has occurred. In the morning of the
14th a formidable insurrection broke out in the streets of
Madrid. Government has triumphed. The insurgents have
nearly disappeared. The state of siege has been pro-
claimed in all Spain, the national guard has been dis-
armed, the municipality dissolved and replaced. Order
is re-established in the capital. It is thought that the
national militia will be dissolved over all Spain, and sub-
jected to a complete reorganisation ; that the constitu-
tion will be promulgated, and that the Cortes will de-
clare their mission accomplished."

ITALY.
TURIN, JULY 15.
The official journal of Parma informs us that
Lord and Lady Norman by left Parma on the morn-
ing of the 10th instant, for the baths of Abano,
near Padua, and no intelligence to the contrary
having reached this, there seems but too much
reason to fear his Lordship's visit has been un-
productive of any good effect towards the ame-
lioration of the condition of the country, and that
Austrian occupation remains, the state of siege
continues, and military law is still supreme. This
result is certainly not contrary to general anticipa-
tion here, but unfortunately it may have a very
serious effect on the people of Parma, who will not
easily believe in the sincerity of the British Govern•
ment in its professions of sympathy for Italy when
they see its representatives pay a fl) ing visit to their
Court after the capital has been three months and a
half subjected to the martial laws of an Austrian
General, and apparently approve, not only of what
has been done, but of its continuance.
