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 on 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 MARYLEBONE.—II 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 LECTION.—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-General, ROWLAND HILL, Secretary.
Advices 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-
specters 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 were
likewise strong rumours that Prussia will issue some de-
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 thamobilisation 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 bin
America and elsewhere, many of which are pa for y
draughts on this country. Within the past month the
Hercules steamer has landed at St. Petersburg five com-
plete sets of engines for first rate men-of-war, and many of
our engineering firms have still large commissions to exe-
cute. According
.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 Ralik fleet consists of 35
place in almost week,
sail-of-the-line, 14 of which at present at Cronstadt are
screw line-of-battle ships of from 80 to 120 guns each.

FEARFI.II, PIT ACCIDENT
.—On Wednesday even-
in.. a fearful accident occurred to three workmen sinking a
coal pit at Hobden, near Newcastle-upon-Twne. In the
operation of sinking it was necessary to use gunpowder, in
order to remove the stone, an a cge having failed to
ff the men, at their own request, were agizin lowered
o ,
own the shaft, a depth of 90 &thorns, when they com-
menced to drill out the charge. While engaged in this
operation, a spark from the drill ignited the powder, when
an explosion instaatly took place, and. the man who was
holding the instrument, whose name is Robert Redding
-
ton, had one of his hands and wrist completely torn away,
and the other so severely injured that amputation will be
necessary. The man who was using the hammer, whose
name is John Kerr, had one of his eyes severely injured,
one of his knees bruised, and sustained such serious injuries
generally that he had to be conveyed home in a cart. The
third man, named Joseph Taylor, was also severely in-
jured, but he was able to walk home with the assistance cf
two men. The accident created great excitement in the
neighbourhood of the place whet.. it occurred.
