of confidence in the administration of which he
was the chief. That appeal was answered by the
return of the House of Commons whose first act
was to declare that they placed no confidence in
Lord Derby and his colleagues. A new adminis-
tration has been formed, from the different sec-
tions of the Liberal party, under the auspices of
Lord Palmerstom in which I have accepted the
office of her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State
for the Home Department. The trust which I re-
ceived from you is, therefore, again restored to
your hands, and in offering myself for the fifth
time as a candidate for the honour of representing
you in Parliament, I may be permitted to express
a confident hope that the step which I have thus
taken, in complete accordance with my political
opinions, will meet with your approbation. The
present Administration consists of persons who
will sincerely attempt to pursue in office the prin-
ciples of social improvement and progressive reform
which they entertain upon conscientious convic-
tion, and which they held when they were not
members of any Government." The return of the
right hon. gentleman will not be opposed.

BATTLE OF MAGENTA. —A letter, dated Milan,
says :—" The French losses cannot but have been very
heavy, considering the nature and duration of the action,
and the obstinate manner in which some of the positions
were defended and even retaken when captured.
There was no pursuit; partly perhaps because night
closed as the fight ended, but also because the Aus-
trians were not routed, hut withdrew in order; and if • the French had pushed on they would still have found
resistance, and the battle would have been prolonged •
The French Guards, as is known, suffered severely in
their heroic efforts to maintain their position; judging from
the look of the hospitals here, a great many regiments of
the line had heavy losses. The Turcos lost not a few, and
a regiment of the Foreign Legion was terribly punished. It were bootless to discuss what, it is impossible to ascer-
tain—that is to say, the proportion of loss on either ,
aide. The known facts are that the Austrians fought
bravely, were . badly commanded, and got the
worst of the conflict. I will mention, however,
a statement that has reached me from a source that ought
