THE NEW MINISTRY.

From the various rumours in circulation this
morning at the West-end and the Clubs relative to
the formation of a Ministry by Lord Palmerston,
it is impossible at the present time to speak with
any degree of accuracy. Some assert that the
arrangements made by Lords Palmerston and John
Russell after the meeting at Willis's Rooms were
only for a moment interfered with, Earl Granville
being sent for by her Majesty, but upon Lord
Palmerston receiving a message to attend at the
Palace, everything immediately resumed its proper
position. We cannot, of course, guarantee the
correctness of the following list, but those
who profess to be in the secret say it will be found
accurate :

First Lord of the Treasury .. Lord PALMERSTON

Lord Chancellor

- Sir R. BETHELL.

Foreign Secretary Earl GRANVILLE.
Home Secretary, Lord J. RUSSELL.
Colonial Secretary Earl of ELGIN.
Indian Secretary Duke of ARGYLL.
Chancellor of the Exchequer .
Admiralty
Woods and Forests Sir B. HALL.
Board of Trade Mr. M. GIBBON.

Secretary for War Mr. S. HERBERT.
Postmaster-General. Mr. VILLIERS, or the
Duke of SOMERSET.
Attorney-General Sir H. KEATING.
Solicitor-General.. Mr. EDWIN JAMES.

Under Foreign Secretary .... Lord WODEHOUSE.
Under Colonial Secretary.... Lord HARTINGTON.
According to the above Lord Cranworth, the
Earl of Clarendon, Sir C. Wood, Sir G. Grey, and
Sir C. Lewis, are excluded from office, a circum-
stance, we should imagine, not at all pleasing to
either of them.

THE MINISTERIAL CRISIS.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)

DUBLIN, JUNE 12.

There have been various rumours here to-day
and yesterday in the clubs and at the Four Courts.
The Duke of Newcastle and the Earl of Carlisle
have both been mentioned for the Lord-Lieu.
tenancy. Great interest is attached to the ques-
tion of who will be the new Chief Secretary, as,
in consequence of the numbers of fresh members
who voted for Lord Derby, the new Chief Secre-
tary will have a difficult duty to discharge. Mr.
More O'Ferrall is mentioned on strong authority
as being likely to be selected, but his nomination
will give offence in influential quarters, as it is
believed that the right hon. gentleman is too sub-
servient to clerical personages in his church ; and
Irish society in general would much prefer that,
Lord Fermoy, on account of his personal popu-
larity and practical talents, were selected. It is
known that several of the Parliamentary leaders
are in favour of Lord Fermoy being chosen.
The reports about the legal offices are more cer-
tain. The following appointments, it is said, will
be made :

Lord Chancellor of Ireland.. Mr. Brewster.

Attorney-General Mr. J. D. Fitzgerald.
Solicitor-General Mr. Deasy.
And rumours are afloat that on the occasion of his
old friends coming into power Mr. Justice Perrin
will give that resignation which he refused to the
Derbyite Ministry. The Hcn. P. Plunket, Judge
of the Bankruptcy Court is in very bad health,
and is likely to resign; and both these Judges are
entitled to retiring pensions.
In addition to these offices there will also be
the Sergeantcy vacated by the promotion of Mr.
Deasy, and the Law Advisership to the Castle.
It is expected, also, that some Whig chairmanships
may by compulsory resignation become vacant at
no very distant date. For these and other posts
likely soon to be at Ministerial disposal, the fol-
lowing gentlemen of most unquestionable ability
and character arc currently named, viz., Mr.
Hughes, Q.C. ; Mr. Lawson, Q.C. ; Mr. Ball,
Q.C. ; Mr. Rolleston, Q.C., and Mr. De Moleyn.
All these gentlemen are of moderate opinions, and
stand deservedly high in professional and general
regard.

We have authority to state that the House of
Commons, being adjourned till Friday, the lith inst., the
House of Lords will not meet until that day, except for the
discharge of judicial business.

The-Queen has conferred on the Earl of Derby
the very high honour of making him an EXTRA Knight
of the Garter. Her Majesty has also been graciously
pleased to mark her sense of the services rendered by the
Earl of Malmesbury awl Sir John Pakington by conferring
upon them the Civil Grand Cross of tho Order of the Bath.

Advices from Canada state that the Customs'
receipts this year from the Ist of January to the 12th of
May have amounted to £288,000' against £160,000 in the
corresponding period of 1858, when the province seemed
threatened with embarrassment. The opinion is that should
the coming harvest, which at present promises well, prove
even moderately favourable, the revenue for 1859 will fully
equal the expenditure.
Mr. Peter Brown, of Basinghall-street, carpet
warehouseman, who suspended during the panic of 1857,
paid to-day his final instalment, making 20s. in the pound,
with interest. His liabilities amounted to £16,000.

CHARGE OF FORGERY.—At the Mansion-house
police .court, on Saturday, John Lockhart Morton was re-
examined on the charge of having forged a bill of exchange
purporting to have been accepted by Messrs. Flower and
Co., of Princess-street. The prisoner read a paper giving
an account of the inducements that led him to commit the
forgery charged against him and others ; but he said that
a.l the bills w4uldhave been duly paid if the present pro-
ceedings had not been taken against him. Ho was com-
mitted for trial.

The will of Baron de Goldsmid and Da Pal-
tneira (Sir Isaac Lyon Goldsmid, Bart.) has been
administered to by the executors. The personalty,
though estimated at over two millions sterling, is
only required to be sworn to as exceeding one mil-
lion, that the highest amount of probate duty
(X 15,000) might be stamped on the grant. The
real estates are spoken of as being of an equal
amount with the personalty. The will is of im-
mense length, and there are upwards of forty
codicils, making together a bulky affair, embracing
500 or 600 folios,

LATEST NEWS.

THE WAR IN ITALY.

The following telegrams have been received at
Mr. Reuter's office :

PARIS, JUNE 13.
The Moniteur of to-day contains the following
:elegrams

MILAN, June 12.—A part of the French army
has passed the River Adda without striking a blow.
In the hurry of their retr eat from Piacenza the
enemy abandoned a great number of cannons and
magazines full of provisions and ammunition.
TURIN, June 12.—A telegraphic despatch from
Bologna announces that the Austrians have eva-
cuated that town.

ST. PETERSBURG, JUNE 11.

The Itivalicle Russe of to-day announces that the
Russian Gouernment has concluded a financial
convention with Messrs. Rothschild, through the
medium of the commercial house of Kapherr and
Co., of St. Petersburg. The details of the conven-
tion are not known.

The following proclamation has been published
at Milan, and in yesterday's Moniteur

The fortune of war has conducted me to the
capital of Lombardy. Let me tell you why I am here.
When Austria unjustly attacked Piedmont, I
resolved to sustain the King of Sardinia, my ally.
The honour and interests of France made this my
duty.
Your enemies, who are my enemies, have endea-
voured to diminish the sympathy which exists
throughout all Europe for your cause, by trying to
persuade the world that I am carrying on this war
only for personal ambition, or to aggrandise the
territory of France.

If there are men who do not understand their
epoch, I am not of the number.
In the enlightened state of public opinion which
prevails, men are greater by the moral influence
which they exercise than by barren conquests, and
this moral influence I seek after with pride, in
contributing to emancipate one of the most beauti-
ful parts of Europe.
Your reception has already proved to me that
you have understood me. Ido not come here with
any preconceived plan to dispossess sovereigns, nor
to impose my own will upon you. My army will
occupy itself with two things :—To combat
your enemies and to maintain internal order.
It will place no obstacle in the way of
a free manifestation of your legitimate wishes.
Providence sometimes favours nations like indi-
viduals in giving them occasion to rise suddenly
to greatness ; but it is on condition that they have
the virtue to profit by it. Profit then by the for-
tune which is offered you. Your desire of inde-
pendence, so long expressed, so often deceived, will
be realised if you show yourselves worthy of it.
Unite then for one sole object, the enfranchisement
of your country. Seek military organisation.
Hasten all of you to place yourselves under the flag
of King Victor Emmanuel, who has already so
nobly shown you the path of honour. Remember
that without discipline there is no army, and ani-
mated with the sacred fire of patriotism be nothing
to-day but soldiers. To-morrow you will be free
citizens of a great country.
Done at the Imperial quarters, at Milan, the
Bth of June, 1859.
