THE MINISTRY.--This morning the noblemen
and gentlemen composing the Cabinet of Lord Derby's
Administration, proceeded to Windsor to resign their seals
of office to her Majesty. Lord Palmerston and his col-
leagues were in attendance to receive them.
Her Royal Highness the Hereditary Grand
Duchess of Mecklenberg Strelitz has arrived in this country
on a visit to the Duchess of Cambridge. Her Royal High-
ness landed at Dover en Thursday, and, after passing the
night at Birmingham's Royal Ship Hotel, came on to Lon-
don yesterday.
The Princess Gagarine has taken her departure
from the Brunswick Hotel, St. James's.
THE BOROUGH OF MARYLEI3ONE.—It was an-
nounced this morning that a strong party intend bringing
forward Mr. Bernal Osborne to fill the vacancy in the re-
presentation of the borough, by the elevation to the peerage
of Sir B. Hall. Mr. Layard has also been named on the
Liberal interest, but the former gentleman seems at present
to be the favourite. The Conservatives intend to contest
the election. Sir R. Carden, it is said, is to be their
candidate. A meeting is to be held this evening to take
the subject into consideration.
REPRESENTATION OF READlNG.—Yesterday Sir
Francis Henry Goldsmidt, Bart., issued an address to the
electors of Reading, in anticipation of a vacancy in the re-
presentation of the borough by the promotion of Sir H.
Keating to the bench. The political opinions of Sir Francis
Goldsmidt are of an ultra-liberal character. The seat, it is
expected, will be contested.
CORK CITY ELECTION.—CORK, Friday Evening.
Colonel Wood has retired from the contest for the repre-
sentation of the City, assigning among other reasons the
defeat and consequent resignation of the Derby Ministry.
—Cork Examiner.
M. Kossuth has left London for Paris, On Mon-
day he will arrive at Genoa, where a becoming reception
awaits him. He will have an audience of the Emperor of
the French; but no grounds exist for the reports in circu-
lation as to his supposed plans.
NEWSPAPERS RECEIVED FROM ABROAD.—For
the future newspapers sent to this country from abroad
may be printed in any language, the restriction as to their
being printed in the language of the country in which they,
are posted being abolished. By command of the Post-
master-Geaeraf, ROWLAND HILL, Secretary.
Advises from Bogota, New Grenada, give a more
than usually unfavourable picture of the condition of the
country. A powerful revolutionary movement was ex-
pected to arise in the southern provinces in opposition to
an election law recently passed at Bogota, authorising the
federal authorities to nominate a certain number of " In-
spectors of Elections" in the different states. This was
looked upon as an attempt to put an end to independent

voting.
Advices from Frankfort state that the German
Confederation are understood to have resolved that 80,000
men (40,000 Prussian and 40,000 Austrian) shall be sta-
tioned on the Rhine. It is also asserted that an arrange-
ment has been made for such Austrian troops as are now
engaged on garrison duty in the federal fortresses to be re-
lieved by other German troops, so that they may be set free
for active operations in Italy or elsewhere. There wer
likewise strong rumours that Prussia will issue some de-
e
cisive announcement in the course of a few days. Accord-
ing to a prevalent conjecture, peace is to be proposed to the
Emperor Napoleon on certain conditions, and if these are
refused Germany is to enter into the war. Under these
circumstances there is great anxiety and stagnation in all
the commercial cities, but it is added -that the want of
employment for money causes numerous investments in
' stocks, and prices are therefore well maintained. With the
existing rate of expenditure, however, this feature is soon
likely to cease. The total number of men to be called out
in Prussia by the recent decree for the mobilisation of eight
army corps will, it is said, be 240,000.
The shipments of machinery to Russia since the
opening of the navigation are stated to have been on a scale
which will go far to account for the necessity that has
existed for the transmission of gold from St. Petersburg to
London, especially as similar orders have been executed in
America and elsewhere, many of whic are paid for
the by
draughts on this country. Within the past month
Hercules steamer has landed at St. Petersburg five com-
plete sets of engines for first rate men-of-war„ and many of
our engineeringengineering
to the last dates, the utmost exertions
were being made in all the naval departments, in prepara-
tion, it was said, for the return of the Grand Duke Constan-
tine. The Neva division of the Russian fleet is now as-
serted to comprise 80 first-class gunboats, constructed on
the best recent models, while the Baltic fleet consists of 35
sail-of-the-line, 14 of which at present at Cronstadt are
screw line-of-battle ships of from 80 to 120 guns each.
MlNEs.—The share market has been particularly
dull this week, and in the absence of buyers a fall has taken
place in almost every description of stock, whilst the prices
of many shares are merely nominal. This state of things
not confined to new or speculative shares, but to dividend
and progressive mines, and many of the dividend mines are
1 the flattest of all. The fortnightly settling took place on
Thursday, but was not very extensive, even in East Rus-
