THE NEW MINISTRY.

We are enabled to publish the following authentic list
of the Cabinet submitted by Lord Derby to the Queen

particulars from that which we publilied on Monday.

CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER Mr. Disraeli.

have declined to join his Cabinet. No offer was made
to Mr. Sidney Herbert. The high office of Governor-
General in India is said to be reserved for Lord Stanley
in the event of Lord Canning decining to serve the new
Government.

We believe that the great daces of the Household
will as we stated on Monday, be given to the Marquis of
Exeter, the Earl Dela war, and the Earl of Chesterfield.

Albert-gate House, yesterday morning, from Paris.

DEATH OF A BELGIAN BEPRESENTATIVE.—The Inde-
pendence Beige of Monday evening says :—" It is w t,
the profoundest grief that we acquaint the country of
en immense lose. M. Delfoese, the honourable ref re
sentative of Liege, died suddenly this morning in this
city (Brussels), from an attack of apoplexy. Tcsmorrcw
we shall say what M. Delfosse was—to-day, bef, re a
tomb so prematurely opened, we can only bow theheai
in silence." M. Dellosse was formerly, we believe, the
president of the Belgian Chanrier.
COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. —At a Court of Common
Council held yesterday, Deputy Bower, Chairman of
the Improvement Committee, brought up a report of
that committee upon the bill for the abandonment of
the Metropolitan Railway, and for the dissolution of
the company. The report stated that by the bill the
company are compelled to compensate all persons with
whom any contract has been entered into on their behalf
f,,r purchasing lands for the purpose of constructing a
railway, and it professes to enable the company to re-
ceive the same of 22,500/. and 48,7501. deposited in the
Court of Chancery. Another statement made in the
report is to the effect that considerable loss has been
sustained by the Court in consequence of the delay in
the proceedings of the company, and it recommends
that a petition be presented by the Court against this
bill. The Court unanimously adopted the report, and
a petition in conformity with it was agreed to. The
C .urt also unanimously adopted a report from the Im-
provement Committee, recommending that a petition
should be agreed to in opposition to the Omnibus Tram-
way Bill, on the ground that it would be unjust and
impolitic to allow any company to appropriate any part
of the public streets for their own benefit and advan-
tage.
THE KooBIA MooRIA GUANO ISLANDS.—At a meet-
ing of masters of 39 vessels, held at the Kooria Mooria
Islands on the 14th January, resolutions were passed,
stating that the three islands, Haski, Jibleea, and Ghur-
zood, are not oovered with guano, as stated by Ord,
Hindson, and Hayes, the lessees; that the quality is not
anything like Ichaboe and Upper Peru ; that the faci-
lities for loading are equal to those at Ichaboe ; that
the sea is often very rough, and several ships have lost
anchors ; that there are no safe barotirs for ship 3 on
the island of Jibleea, boats even not being always safe;
that abundance of labour cannot be obtained from A den;
the Indian Government having refused labourers per-
mission to leave Aden ; that the statement of the dryness
of the climate is false, rain having frequently fallen ;
that man has been able to dig and load half-a-ton a-day;
that no ship can lay with safety half a nails of Jibleea ;
that the meeting considers that the lessees should for tit
tho amount of license, and that no masters of ships at
the Kooria Mooria Islands should sign bills of lading
(except under protest) for any guano got there. The
meeting concluded with a resolution condemnatory of
the parties who circulated false reports respecting the
value and quantity of the guano, and regretting that
Captain Freemantle's report showing the true state had
not been published earlier.

beau 4 o'clock, a fire took place in the premises of
Mr. M. Walden, a linen-draper and silk-mercer, No. 30,

praiseworthy manner in getting the inmates out in safety.
