The Cologne Gazette of the 26th publishes a letter
from Hanover of the 24th, which states that the
Ministerial crisis is not over. It appears that the
Ministry demanded of the KING the recall of Count
KEYPHAUSEN, the Ambassador at Berlin, and the
dismissal of Count PLATEN, his MAJESTY'S Aide• de-
Camp. A discussion thereupon arose between the
KING and Count BENIGSEN, which ended in MM.
DE SHEELE, LINDBAIANNS, ROSSING, and KIELMAN-
SEGGE being summoned. It is thought that the
resignation of the Ministry is inevitable.
Intelligence has been received from Berlin to
the 25th.

The College of Princes had held its 38th sitting.
The note of M. RADOWITZ to the Danish Government,
conveying to it the ratifications of the Berlin treaty,
with the Prussian protest against the form of the ra-
tifications, was communicated.
A letter from Frankfort of the 23d, in the Cologne
Gazette, says :—`• The Germanic Diet has resolved
to disarm and dissolve the army of Electoral Hesse.
This measure will be executed very promptly, in
order to present any resistance to a hostile invasion.
It is to disarm them that the troops have been sent to
tiwir former cantonments. The Prince of Touit and
TAXIs bas returned to the command of his corps
crarmee of Franconia."

Tile Cologne Gazette states that General DE Gam-
BEN left Berlin on the 23d with the reply of the
Prussian Government to the threats of Bavaria and
the Germanic Diet to intervene in Electoral Hesse ; it
declares (says the Gazette) that Prussia will oppose
intervention by force. Tne Ministers of Foreign Af-
fairs and War were having conferences on the mea-
sures which might become necessary.

LONDON, MONDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1850.

Portugal has just experienced the loss of one of
her greatest statesmen. October the 12th, 1850,
witnessed the close of a career which had commenced
in 1781, on the Bth of May, consequently the de-
ceased was in the seventieth year of his age, and pre-
pared, as far as his political reputation was concerned,
to resign a life not prematurely terminated. In the
scroll of those annals which are adorned with the
names of so many persons of illustrious character,
that of PALMELLA will shine not the least conspicu-
ously. If on the tablets of Portugal CAMOBNS
shines forth as her greatest poet, and Don HEN-.
RIQTJD as her greatest navigator, PALMELLA will
maintain there also a splendid pre•eminence es one
of the wisest and purest of her statesmen. His
celebrity will survive in the recollection of his coun-
trymen associated with the fame of his remarkable
colleagues at the Congress of Vienna —with such

PktU w ne.otiatcrs as CAS7I, REAGII, NESSELEODE,
latrtlcaruca, and TALLEYRAND. Nevertheless, bril-
%tut as was ths part taken by PALMELLA 011 that ,

RUSSIA.

The Emperor of RUSSIA, accompanied by Prince
CUARLUS of Wirtemburg, reviewed the troops garri•
coned in Warsaw on the 20th inst., and afterwards
attended a sumptuous banquet given by the Prince of
WAftsAw. The departure of the Emperor of AUSTRIA
from Vienna was fixed for the 24th. _ _ _

In the Russian province of Lithuania the landed
proprietors of the class of nobility are falling rapidly
into poverty. Almost every number of the official
journals of the province contains announcements of
the sale of the estates of insolvent proprietors. In
many other governments of Russia the class of
nobles includes individuals who have become im-
poverished. According to an official report made to
the Minister of the Interior, there were in 29 govern-
ments 21,148 proprietors of the class of nobles whose
whole possessions were confined to 25 serfs, and in
many cases a less number. In the same Government
there are mail noble families who own only half a
" dessatine" of land, or about two acres English,
without serfs attached to it. To assist these impo-
verished families as far as possible the Government
has resolved to settle them on the Crown lands of the
Governments of Siinbirsk and Tobolsk. On account
of their inability to educate their children, one san
from each family is entered in the battalions of the
military colonies.

on Saturday for a debt when going on board the
steam-ship Africa. On his return to America, ulti-
mately an arrangement was come to, and he was re-

impossible," says this writer, " for the two princi-

The Cologne Gazette of the 26th publishes a letter
from Hanover of the 24th, which states that the
Ministerial crisis is not over. It appears that the
Ministry demanded of the KING the recall of Count
KRYPHAUSEN, the Ambassador at Berlin, and the
dismissal of Count PLATEN, his MAJESTY'S Aide•de-
Camp. A discussion thereupon arose between the
lirr.G and Count BENIGSEN, which ended in MM.
DE SHEELE, LINDEMANNS, ROSSING, and KIELMAN-
sEGGE being summoned. It is thought that the
resignation of the Ministry is inevitable.
Intelligence has been received from Berlin to
the 25th.

The College of Princes bad held its 38th sitting.
The note of M. RADOWITZ to the Danish Government,
conveying to it the ratifications of the Berlin treaty,
with the Prussian protest against the form of the ra-
tifications, was communicated.

A letter from Frankfort of the 23d, in the Cologne
Gazette, says :—" The Germanic Diet has resolved
to disarm and dissolve the army of Electoral Hesse.
This measure will be executed very promptly, in
order to present any resistance to a hostile invasion.
It is to disarm them that the troops have been sent to
their former cantonments. The Prince of TOUR and
Taxis has returned to the command of his corps
d'armie of Franconia."

The Cologne Gazette states that General DE Gam-
BEN left Berlin on the 23d with the reply of the
Prussian Government to the threats of B wads and
the Germanic Diet to intervene in Electoral Hesse ; it
declares (says the Gazette) that Prussia will oppose
intervention by force. The Ministers of Foreign Af-
fairs and War were having conferences on the mea-
sures which might become necessary.

RUSSIA.

The Emperor of RUSSIA, accompanied by Prince
CHARLES of Wirtemburg, reviewed the troops garri-
soned in Warsaw on the 20th inst., and afterwards
attended a sumptuous banquet given by the Prince of
WAR3AW. The departure of the Emperor of AUSTRIA
from Vienna was fixed for the 24th.

In the Russian province of Lithuania the landed
proprietors of the class of nobility are falling rapidly
into poverty. Almost every number of the official
journals of the province contains announcements of
the sale of the estates of insolvent proprietors. In
many other governments of Russia the class of
nobles includes individuals who have become im-
poverished. According to an official report made to
the Minister of the Interior, there were in 29 govern-
ments 21,148 proprietors of the class of nobles whose
whole possessions were confined to 25 serfs, and in
many cases a less number. In the same Government
there are many noble families who own only half a
" dessatine" of land, or about two acres English,
without serfs attached to it. To assist these impo-
verished families es far as possible the Government
has resolved to settle them on the Crown lands of the
Governments of Simbirsk and Tobolsk. On account
of their inability to educate their children, one san
from each family is entered in the battalions of the
military colonies.

HOLLAND.

THE HAGUE, JAr. 28.—Great satisfaction is felt
at the approaching marriage of the Princess LOUISA
with the Crown Prince of Sweden. We learn from
Christiania that a Norwegian flotilla, consisting of
three corvettes, will join the Swedish one, and pro-
ceed to Lubeckl in the beginning of May, for the
purpose of taking on board the young Crown
Princess of Sweden and Vice-Queen of Norway,
the Princess Lours.

AMSTERDAM, JAN. 28. It will be remembered
that by the exertions of the crew of the English
frigate Minerva the whole of the crew of a wrecked
Netherlands barque, the G-eertrude, who were in the
most imminent danger, were saved on the 29th cf
August last. The owners of the ship have placed
in the hands of the Ne!herlands consul in London a
few presents for the British sailors. Among them
was a large silver inkstand, with a suitable inscrip-
tion, to Commander Moir; a gold watch to the mate;
and silver watches to the sailors.—Handelsblad.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
A letter from Kiel, dated Jan. 25, contains the
following :--" At a conference yesterday between the
lieutenatr-.T, the heads of Ministerial departments,
and the confidential commissioners, it was unani-
tnously,idecided that the Danish Cabinet should be
written, to, informing it that under present eireum-
stances'all negotiations should be considered as broken
off.
RUSSIA.
Letlfers from St. Petersburgh of the 18th state that
the Russians have gained an advantage over the Cir-
cassians,. engsgement took place on the 3d
January on the right baiik of the Asse, with 3,000
soldiers of SCIIAMYL. The Russians took from them
two standards, 30 prisoners, and a great number of
muskets. The Russians had only three Cossacks
wounded, while the mountaineers left 300 dead on
the field of battle. This, it should be remembered, is
a Russian account.
London, England, 1850-01-31

by many this same novel reading is regarded as only
an intellectual dram drinking. But is not this pre-
ferable to the intellectual total abstinence so
rigidly observed by Mrs. Le Grand and
many ?) In her own humble phrase, she
is not dull. I say she has a decided talent at
making lemon cheesecakes, whips, &c.; she is what
is called a good market woman ; she is very fond of
her needle, and mending (her head, I promise you,
does not go Berlin wool-gathering); she is the only
woman I believe in, for sewing on buttons strong;
and, lastly, she has that excellent quality of being a
good listener, seldom speaking but when she has
something to say.
My dear girls, I have led you with a strangely va-
grant step, it is true, over a page of my crotchets on
that important topic, the ladies and matrimony. I
have drawn on life, not fancy, for my sketches and
obs!rvations ; may I conclude by hoping that such
A. B. C. hints as it was in my power to give may not
be useless to you, and by adding that I may, perhaps,
at no very distant period, write to you in a different
capacity than that of a young bachelor.

RUSSIA.

Letters from St. Petersburgh of the 18th state that

as military men, and armed with fowling-pieces, en-
tered the village of Colignola, near Faenza, plundered
ten of the best houses, carried away the public

they claimed a ransom. Three or four others, who
attempted to resist, were, more or less, dangerously
wounded.

GERMANY.

A second edition of the Cologne Gazette says—
" That as all communication with the opposite bank
of the Rhine is broken off in consequence of the ice,
there had been no morning and evening mails of the
27th from Berlin, listnburgb, Breslau, &c., nor any
telegraphic communication respecting the transactions
of the First Chamber, and the report of the Berlin
Bourse of January 28."
The following is the amendment of Count ARMIN
on the subject of the Prussian Chamber of Peers,
which was adopted by the Second Chamber by a
majority of 12 :-
4. The First Chamber shall be composed—lst, of
princes of the royal family of full age; 2d, of the chiefs
of the noble houses of Prussia, which formerly depended
directly on the empire, and of the chiefs of families to
whom a royal ordinance may confer an hereditary
seat by order of primogeniture in the Chamber of
Peers; 3d, of members nominated for life by the
King: their number cannot exceed the tenth part of
the members comprised in the first two categories ;
4th, of 90 members nominated by direst suffrage in the
electoral districts fixed by the law, by the electors who
pay the most taxes, so that the number of electors for
all the electoral districts shall exceed thirty times that
of the peers, that is, that the total number of electors
shall be 27,000 ; sth, of 30 members nominated by the
municipal council of the principal towns of the country.
The total number of peers, cf the first three categories
cannot exceed the total number cf peers of the last
two. A dissolution of the First Chamber can only
affect the elected peers. The constitution of the First
Chamber shall take place on the 7th Aptit, 1852. Until
that date the electoral law of 6th December, 1848, for
the First Chamber, shall remain in vigour."

This, the closing day of January, 1850, will prove
we are satisfied, of no unmemorable character. Al
the morning which witnessed the commencement of ti
Parliamentary Session destined to affect in no ordi-
nary degree the fortunes of the United Kingdom, if
not the actual stability of the British Empire, com-
mercial and colonial, it must always be regarded as
the initial moment of an epoch entitled to no indif-
ferent remembrance. How far we are justified in
peaking thus emphatically of the opening of the
Session just commenced, may be readily estimated by
such as have watched the recent progress of events,
and who cannot, therefore, have failed to appreciate
the extraordinary importance of the resolutions
about to be unfolded by the Government, and either
adopted or rejected according to the preponderance
of prejudice or predilection in the two Houses of the

Internally and externally there are not only
