MINISTERIAL CRISIS.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE rose and said—
My Lords, I rise fur the purpose of moving that this
House at its rising do adjourn to Friday next. I feel
that in proposing this adjournment, it is due to the
House, with regard to the present state
of public affairs, that I should state al
the information which I can properly communicate
to your Lordship,. I have, therefore, to inform
your Lordships that on Friday last, in conse-
quence of what had taken place on Thursday in
the other House of Parliament. Her Majesty's servants
considered it their duty to tender their resignations
to her Majesty on that day. Some of her Majesty's
servants—l myself among that number—were absent
from town at the time, bat on Saturday we determined
to tender our resignations to her Majesty. On the
same day her Msjety sent to the Noble Lord oppo-
site; and he, as I understood, after due
consideration informed her Majesty that he was not
prepared to construct a Government. My Noble Friend
late at the head of the Government was then sent for by
her Mejesty,and he is now engaged in reconstructing the
Government. This is the present state of affairs. All I
can state at present is, that my Noble Friend
lately at the head of the Government, has? on
reflection, thought that it is a duty which he owes to
her Majesty, and to the public to attempt the recon-
struction of a Government. Beyond this I shall
say nothing—l speak as the Member of a Government
which exists no longer. I hold office nominally only;
I repeat I am only in office so long as our suc-
cessors shall not be appointed, and that therefore
at present I am not in a position to make any further
communication to your Lordships.
Lord STANLEY—I will make no opposition to the
motion of the Noble Marquis Your Lordships„will
understand that it is at present impassible for me me,
under the present circumstances of the coutry, to enter into
any details on the subject to which the Noble Marquis
had alluded, I have only to say that when I waited upon
her Majesty and had the offer made to me to construct
a Ministry, I laid before her Majesty, wholly
and unreservedly all my views. Nothing could exceed
the graciousness, the condescension, indeed I may say
the kindness, with which her Majesty received my
communication ; but of what passed at that
interview. and what was the advice as a
Privy Councillor I tendered to her Majesty,
of course I cannot at present say ono single word.
When the time shall come—when this political crisis
shall be passed over—then I shall be prepared
to state, fully and unreservedfy, to tho
House and to the country the advice which I tendered
and the course which, as a public wan and a Privy'
Councillor, I recommended her Majesty to pursue.
The MARQUIS of LANSDOWNE agreed that it
would be the duty of the Noble Lord, on a fitting oc-
casion, to fully and fairly state what had passed. With
regard to himself, he had only satted facts of which he
was cognizant, and he trusted, therefore, that their
Lordships would accede to his motion.

MARRIAGE BILL.

The Earl of ST. GERMANS trusted that their Lord-
BhiPs Would sec no objection in sitting to-morrow, in
order to discuss the motion for the second
reading of the Marriage Bill, a measure which is not at
all connected with politics, but which is of great social
importance.

Lord CAMPBELL wished most strongly to impress
upon their Lordships the importance of allowing the
discussion to come on to-morrow night. There was
nothing
political in it, and be fully concurred in the pro-
priety of abstaining from political discussion till Friday.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE, on the understand-
ing that no political matter should be introduced into
the discussion to-naorrCOUNTY COURTS.ow, would withdraw his motion.,

Lord BROUGHAM postponed his motion with re-
spect to the County Courts, which stod on the paper fo.t
Thursday, till Monday.

LONDON, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1851.

Nothing certain has as yet transpired with respect
to the new Ministerial arrangements. It is known
that Lord Jou RUSSELL, thoroughly ashamed of
the financial " scHEME" propounded by his blundering
colleague, which he could not have supported without
irretrievably ruining his already damaged character,
and perhaps in some degree irritated by the domi-
neering spirit of the " GREY" clique, and also by the
manifest alienation of many of the most consistent
Liberals, from whom he had heretofore received
valuable assistance, had cut the Gordian knot by
placing his resignation in the hands of his SOVEREIGN.
No other course was open to him if he decided to
avoid an ignominious
defeat on the Budget—
a defeat which must have been productive of the
most injurious consequences
to the entire country,
as giving an apparent triumph to the friends and par-
tisans of commercial restrictions and selfish mono-
polies. With the existing Cabinet he could not hope to
conduct the affairs of the nation with credit to h'm
seri or advantage to the e
-snu'unitY• Nor
could he of his own authority dispense wits
the services) of two at lea ;t of the members of
his Administration without the special sanction of
her MAJESTY. It is clear that this resolution on his
part was hastily formed and as rapidly carried into
execution. Several Ministers—the Marquis of LANS.
DOWNE and Earls CARLISLE and MiNro—were absent
from the Cabinet Council hell on Friday, whose
presence would unquestionably have been secured
if a step of such vast importance had been
previously contemplated. It must, therefore, have
sprung from the proceedings at that very Council,
and probably arose from the undue pertinacity with
which the Chancellor of the Exchequer and his
family party ioutedon .

Accounts from Berlin of the 21st state that an un-
derstanding has been come to between Austria and
Prussia at Dresden, the rotation in the Presidency
having been conceded by Austria to Prussia; the
latter and Bavaria consent to the entry of Austrii
with all her states into the Confederation, and Austria
undertakes to defend this measure against the smaller
states and the foreign powers. A plenary sitting of the
Conferences was to trio place at Dresden on the 236.
Austria is exceedingly anxious to interfere in the

Moderate extra Premium for Residence in Tropical Climates.
EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE.
Capital-500,0001.
(Incorporated under 7 and 8 Tict., cap. 110.)
The leading principles of this Office ara —Mod erate and equitable
Rates 01 Premium for each class of risk—Annual division of Profits.
The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion
Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so
great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess
than calculation.

It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the
different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the
amount of annual Premiums received by each.
It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers,
that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the
true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu-
rance Company is established.
The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap-
proached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto
been sufficiently acted n, or systematically applied.
Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to
the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as
security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer
Is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by
supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica-
tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk.
The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own
experience, from time to tin- e, adopt such rates of Premium as the
nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange-
ments as regards tariffs with other offices.
With this view an annual investigation will be made into each
class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fluty per cent. of the nett
excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have
been in force for three years.
Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon
every description of Primerty on moderate terms.
Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Clause.

tion at the Office, or to any of its Agents.

NEWMARKET RAILWAY
COMPANY.

A meeting of this company was held on Saturday, at
the London Tav€ra; Mr. Fano in the chair.

Mr. PANE announced the object of the meeting,
which was to consign the forfeiture of certain shares by
reason of the non-payment of a call made two years
ago. There was also another object, which was to
postpone the half-yearly meeting of the company to
March from February. The reason of this was, that as
all the railway meetings took place in February many
of the shareholders were obliged to attend at other
places, and could not be present at this meeting to hear
the statement of the company's position. In the present
instance the directors wished also to dispose of this
matter of forfeiture before again meeting the share-
holders.

The SECRETARY then read out the numbers of the
forfeited shares, amounting in the whole to 2,392.
In reply to a question from Mr. COMPLIN,
The CHAIRMAN said that it was perfectly legal to
compel the payment of these calls.
Air. COMPLIN intimated that he had an opinion from
an eminent counsel to the contrary.
The CHAIRMAN then read an extract from the Law
Times, containing a judgment of the Court of Exche-
quer, given on the 14th of February, that such calls were
perfectly legal, and could be enforced.

The resolution, empowering the directors to sell, or
otherwise dispose of the forfeited shares, were then put
and carried with only one dissentient voice.
The CHAIRMAN then put a resolution postponing the
half-yearly meeting of the company until March.
The meeting then separated, after a vote of thanks
to the Chairman.

Accounts have been received from Lisbon to the
1 Jth inst.

The Chamber of Deputies are engaged in the dis-
cussion of the electoral law, and an incident has oc-
curred which proves how completely the majority of
the Assembly are the mere tools of the Minister.
The Count of THOMAR had announced that the pro-
position was not a Ministerial measure, and the
Members might vote as they chose. Accordingly
several amendments, tending to make both deputies
and representatives more independent of Govern-
ment, by excluding sundry placemen from the
representation, were put and carried; whereupon
TSIOMAR expressed his high displeasure, and sum-
moned the Deputies to reconsider the question, and
in obedience to the commands of the Minister they
at once voted against the propositions which they had
supported sit the former z=ittivg. The leader of the

Opposition was THOMAR'S brother, JOSE BERNARDO
CABRAL.

The QUEEN has completely recovered.
The Government has laid before the Cortes, and
the latter have approved, a project for a new gold
coinage. In order to supply the deficiency of silver,
the scarcity of which, notwitlitanding the recent
prohibition (f its export, continues to be much felt,
there are to be gold coins as low as the value of 1,000
reis, or about 4s. GI sterling.

GERMANY.

Accounts from Berlin of the 21st state that an un
derstanding has been come to between Austria and
Prussia at Dresden, the rotation in the Presidency
having been conceded by Austria to Prussia; the
latter and Bavaria consent to the entry of Austria
with all her states into the Confederation, and Austria
undertakes to defend this measure against the smaller
states and the foreign powers. A plenary sitting of the
Conferences was to take place at Dresden on the 23d.
Austria is exceedingly anxious to interfere in the
affairs of Bosnia. The bankrupt empire would find
it exceedingly convenient to quarter a portion of her
forces on Turkey.

The Chamber of Deputies are engaged in the dis-
cussion of the electoral law, and an incident has oc-
curred which proves how completely the majority of
the Assembly are the mere tools of the Minister.
The Count of THOMAR had announced that the pro-
position was not a Ministerial measure, and the
Members might vote as they chose. Accordingly
several amendments, tending to make both deputies
and representatives more independent of Govern-
ment, by excluding sundry placemen from the
representation, were put and carried; whereupon
THOMAR expressed his high displeasure, and sum-
moned the Deputies to re-consider the question, and
in obcditnice to the commands of the Minister they
at once voted against the propositions which they had
supported at the former sitting. The leader of the

THE HUMAN HAIR.
ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL is justly
renowned throughout the world for its remarkable virtues,
in nourishing, preserving, and beautifying the human hair. Its
operation in cases of baldness is peculiarly active ; so that, in
numerous instances wherein other remedies have been tried in vain,
ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL has superseded the ornaments of
art, by effecting a complete restoration of beautiful hair. In the
growth of whiskers, eyebrows, and mustachios, it is also unfailing
in its stimulative operation. For children it Is especially recom-
mended, as forming the basis of a beautiful head of hair, and
rendering the use of the fine comb unnecessary. _ . _

Price is. 6d. and 75.; or family bottles (equal to four small) at
10s. 6d.; and double that size, 21s.
CAUTION.—On the wrapper of each bottle of the genuine article
are these words in two lines, "ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL."
The same are engraved on the back of the wrapper nearly 1,600
times, containing 29,028 letters. _ _

landlords or customers, or demagogues or
priests, are in their heart opposed to the
ballot, and at this moment the leaders of all par-
ties are trailing red herrings in r.ll directions in order
to draw the constituencies off the scent of the ballot.
The organs of all the great party:leaders in the press—
Tories, Whigs, Radicals, and Chartists—either op-
pose the ballot, or in professing to give it a hollow
and an unwilling support,
Damn with faint praise, assent with civil leer,
And though not sneering, teach the rest to sneer."
To themselves and themselves alone, must the elec-
tors trust for the protection of the ballot, and in the
House of Commons they should trust none but men
who, like Mr. H. BERKELEY, are quite independent of
party. The introduction of the ballot would be a death
blow to all illegitimate influences : the rich man would
no longer be able to bribe, because he could never as-
certain whether or not he had had his quid pro
quo ; the tyrant landlord and the tyrant cus-
tomer would be no longer able to intimidate,
nor the priest to denounce ; therefore the corrupt
and the tyrannical of all parties will oppose the
ballot by every means in their power, and as among
the leaders of every party the corrupt and the tyran-
nical are to be found, it is useless to look to them for
assistance. The electors must, themselves, achieve
their own emancipation, and they have it in their
power to do so whensoever they may be so minded.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.
London, England, 1851-04-26

GLOUCESTER AND DEAN FOREST.

The works of this line, which form an integral por-
tion of the South Wales line from Chepstow to Glouces-
ter, are in a forward state, and are being pushed on with
vigour in order to have the line ready for opening on
the 18th of Juno next, which is at present announced
as the day on which the South Wales line from Chep-
stow to Gloucester is to be opened, the chief work re-
maining to be done being one of the bridges over the
Severn at Gloucester, and which must be crossed in order
to form a junction with the Great Western and Midland
lines at the joint station at Gloucester. Should there be any
delay in the completion of the works by the 11th of June,
it will arise from the difficulty of finishing the bridge
over the Wye at Chepstow, and one of the two
bridges over the Severn at Gloucester. It is necessary
to explain here that the river Severn as it approaches
the city of Gloucester divides into two channels, called
respectively the Maisemore and the Gloucester channels,
the principal part of the river traffic passing along the
latter channel. There are of course two bridges, called
the Gloucester and Over bridges, and the railway
crosses the Maisemoro channel below the Over bridge
and above the Gloucester bridge. The bridge over
Maisemorc channel has been completed for many months.
The line after crossing the Severn passes over several
streets of the city to the station of the Great Western
and Midland (Bristol and Birmingham) Companies, and
only a small p Ition of the terminus remains at present
untouched. The works from Gloucester up to the
junction of the South Wales line at Grange court are
in such a state of forwardness (with the exception of
the bridge over the Severn) that they could be opened
in a month from this time.

GERMANY.

The Kreuz Zeitung states that the Austrian note,
so frequently of late rwferred to, may be considered
a friendly rejection of the conditions on which
Prussia was prepared to assent to the admission of
the non-German States of Austria into the Bund,
and that Austria for the present will not press this
demand. . _ _

The Austrian Gazette publishes the Imperial de-
cree, establishing a Council of the Empire ( Reichs •
rath ). The Act is divided into four sections and
thirty-nine clauses, of which the following are the
most important :
