after he resumed power, to comply with the de-
sire of the majority. It is thus that we compres
hend the common responsibility, which four years' unio-
and struggles have established between the Conservativn
party and the Cabinet. But after having established the
duties of the Cabinet towards the majority, the obligao
tions of the majority towards the Cabinet ought to be
clearly understood. In order that the Ministry should
decide on preserving power, and still defending the po-
licy of the majority, it ought to reckon on its energeti-
and unanimous assistance. It is not sufficient to be sup-
ported by a more or less considerable fraction of this
majority—it ought to reckon on the whole of it—that is,
on the 213 votes which were given for the paragraph
of the Address. Let the majority then declare itself
clearly, let it decide whether the Ministry ought to
remain or retire ; let it declare whether it prefers
the illustrious chiefs whom it has followed for the last
four years to those whom the coalition wants to
give it, in recruiting them by chance from all the
b'nchea of the Chamber ; let it say frankly if it prefers
the men of March 1 to those of October 29 ; M. Thiers
to M. Guizet ; M. Billault to M. Duchatel ; for there
must not be any mistake at the point to which things
have come—the question is there. Then the conduct of
the Cabinet will be clearly traced ; then it will know if
it ought to yield the power to ambitious scatterbrains,
and to inconsiderable intrigants, or whether it ought to
attempt new trials, and continue to defend the policy to
which it has given so many pledges. Let the majority
declare itself, and the Ministry will obey. But for that
we repeat, a manifestation is required in no way equi-
vocal or incomplete, and without hesitation or frittering
into parts. On this condition all may be again saved ;
without this condition all is in peril. That is what we
demand from the majority ; all other conduct would be
worthy neither of it nor of the Cabinet."
The Globe, the only other Ministerial journal, re-
commends a bolder and more spirited course, and
adduces arguments, too, which cannot be refuted.
" We said yesterday, and we repeat it now," are its
words, "that there would be treason in abandoning a
firm, courageous, and devoted majority, having just
given one of those public testimonies of adhesion,
such as, perhaps, no other had ever offered an ex-
ample of. To abandon it, when it has just fought its
warmest and most perilous action for the Cabinet—to
deliver it defenceless to the mercy of a mob, wild with
passion and irritation, which it has just conquered—,
to despair when it trusts—to fly when it remains—to
abandon the flag when it keeps it—would be ungrate-
ful and cowardly, and, allow us to say, even stupid ; for
such a devotedness, so disloyally betrayed, would never
be met with again. And ought not the Cabinet
to take the interest of the country into grand conside-
ration ? There exists at present a majority, which
is
not very considerable, but which is very resolute and
well united. This majority is a powerful instrument
of order, of peace, and of government. To deliver it
up to a coalition would be to dissolve it, and, conse-
quently, would be to abandon the country to two or
three successive or transitory administrations,without
force, without credit, without stability ; it would be
to recommence the grave fault committed by Count
Mots in 1839, and expiated by three or four years'
violent struggles, destined to repair the evil which it
had produced in disorgan:sing the Chambers. The
Cabinet will therefore remain ; it must remain, it can,

ticularsi—ln order to prevent the circulation of the
notes on the Continent, a list of those stolen, with the
numbers, &c., has been served on every banker, money-
changer, notary, chief hotelkeeper, and principal mer-
chant in all the chief cities of Europe. The lists have
been served by a notary, or other official, and he has
made a declaration of each service, so that, in case of
teed, it can be proved. If, therefore, these parties
take any of the stolen notes, payment will be
resisted on the ground that they have had
due notice of the note being a stolen one, and
cannot, therefore, recover the loss occasioned by their
own negligence. This having been done, the Bank of
England have placed at the credit of Messrs. Rogers anti
Co. the full amount of all the notes stolen ; an indemnity
to them being of course given by Messrs. Rogers, so
that, should the Bank hereafter have to pay any of the
notes, the amounts may be recovered, from them. In our
next number we shall publish a digest of the law relating
to stolen notes, and in the meantime we beg to impress upon
the tellers in banks the necessity for their comparing
all notes they take, at least those of large amount, with
the list of those stolen ; otherwise it may be a question.
whether, in the event of their taking one of the latter, the
loss may not fall on themselves. Mr. Hobler states that
be has received the greatest attention and assistance from
the officers uf the several Railway and Steam-packet Com-
panies, who have distributed his lists and parcels gra-
tuitously ; and as this is a service rendered to the
banking profession generally, it ought to be
thus made known slid acknowledged. The same
praise is due to the Metropolitan Police, who have served
upwards of 4,000 of the lists on the various tavern-
keepers and publicans, &c., of the metropolis ; but we
are sorry to learn, that the City Police, who ought surely
to have shown the most activity in the business, declined
seconding the exertions of the solicitor, ' because they
were not applied to in the first instance.' It is to be re-
gretted that any feelings of rivalry or jealousy between
the different bodies of police, should exhibit itself in this
manner, to the d. triment of the public interests."
The funds have been steady this morning, but there is
no animation in the market, and the French news so far
is without the least effect. Consols are 994 to par for
present transfer, and 1004 for time. Exchequer Bills
have given way, up in sales made, to 625. and 645. pre-
mium, and India Bonds to 78s. premium. Bank Stock
has been firm at 215. The New Three-and-a-Quarter
per Cents. are 104 to 4, and the Three per Cents. 1004
to 1001.
The Foreign Securities are generally steady, and the
settlement progresses easily. Spanish Active Bonds
have been 281 1; and the Three per Cents. 404 to t,
being rather higher ; Portuguese Converted are 59 to
58; Mexican have been 361, but are now down again to
35 ; French Scrip is 11 premium ; Dutch Two-and• a-
Half per Cents. are 63k.
The Railway Shares are still rather quiet, but several
of them have risen in value to some extent, via.—Great
Western, Birmingham and Gloucester, Churuet Valley,
and Eastern Counties. South-Eastern, Newcastle and
Berwick, and most of the others are also firmer.

FLANDERS MAIL.
BRUSSELS, JAN. 28.—Accounts from Vienna, dated 11
the 20th of this month, announce that the health of ,
Duke Ferdinand of Saxe Coburg, the king's brother,
is considerably improved.
The Industriel of Verviers, of the day before yes-
terday, says :—" We are assured that the Jesuits
have definitively planted themselves at Verviers. The
house adjoining the Church of St. Lambert is now
occupied by one of them ; it is probable that the
others will speedily follow."
The Gazette of Liege says :—" Persons coming
from Verviers announce that disturbances might have
taken place in that city yesterday, in consequence of
the arrival of the Jesuits. It is even said that money
had been distributed among the people to induce them
to renew the riots. However, the police had noticed;
the gendarmes of Herve and of Clermont were to be
on the spot to render assistance, if it should be neces- '
sary."
The Industriel of Verviers, of yesterday, does not
confirm the above statement of the Gazette of Liege.
The Journal of Bruges says :—" The Count de
Muelenaere, Governor of our province, was sum-
moned yesterday morning to Brussels, notwithstand-
in6 his bad state of health. He immediately obeyed
this summons, which appears to have been very
urgent. He set out yesterday at noon."
Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess
of Saze Coburg left the Palace of Lacken, yesterday
evening at eight o'clock, for Paris.
ALEXANDRIA, JAN. 6.—On the 30th of December
one of the dikes of the Mahmudie Canal burst, so that
the water for the most part flowed into a neighbour-
ing lake, and the navigation was stopped. A number
of workmen were, however, immediately sent to re-
pair the damage. The Viceroy was extremely un-
easy on account of the reappearance of a disease
among the cattle. It broke out first at Marmont, and
spread so rapidly that 8,000 oxen have already been
carried off by it in Lower Egypt. Corn arrives in
very small quantities from the interior, and there is
much fear of a scarcity.

LIE EARL or MORNINGTON.—We regret to state
that no improvement has taken place in the health of
this venerable nobleman, who is gradually losing
strength. Dr. Copeland visited his Lordship yes-
terday, and held a conference with the resident
physician. The reply to inquiries was, " His Lord-
ship has passed a tolerably good night, and is no
worse to-day than he was yesterday." Her Majesty,
Prince Albert, and the Royal Family sent to make
inquiries yesterday. The calls of the nobility and
gentry were exceedingly numerous.
CABINET COUNClL.—Summonses were issued yes-
terday morning by Sir James Graham to the dif-
ferent Ministers, to attend a Cabinet Council this
day at the Foreign-office. Downing-street. It is
expected that the new members of the Cabinet will
attend the meeting for the first time.

and it ought."
We subjoin extracts from the leaders in some of the
Opposition journals, and begin with the insidious
Presse. After stating that the true friends of M.
GuizoT (meaning, of course, among the rest the
Presse, which honours his courage and admires his
eloquence), are afflicted at his determination not to
resign, adds :
" Ills adversaries rejoice at the resolution. There is as
much difference between obstinacy and firmness as there
is between firmness and discouragement. Had M.
Guizot been left to himself, we have no doubt but he
would have adopted a different resolution. If it be true
that he does not intend to resign, it is because he has
suffered himself to be overruled by the interested ex-
hortations of a troop of subalterns and parasites who
ever surround eminent men. But whatever may be the
determination of Ministers—whether they resign or
whether they continue in office—the political question,
the question of dignity, of equity, and of reciprocity, has
been decided. If Mr. Pritchard receives the promised
indemnity, he certainly shall not receive it from the
State budget. The Duke de Broglie and Dr. Lushing-
ton may endeavour to find another solution besides that
of the abolition of slavery in our colonies to replace the
conventions of 1831 and 1833. In fine, no British
Cabinet can hereafter seriously think of requiring from
any French Cabinet concessions which are not equal and
mutual. That was all we wished, and we have fully ob-
tained it by the vote of Monday last. As to ourselves,
we are completely disinterested, and if the Ministers be-
lieve that they can still conduct the affairs of the country
usefully, worthily, and firmly, we shall not endeavour to
oppose them. Our feeble support shall not be withheld
from them, on condition that they shall not deviate from
the line traced by the vote of Monday."
The Constitutionnel of Wednesday, which receives
information from the leader of the Opposition, gives
the following version of the embarrassments in which
the proceedings of Monday have involved the Ministry.
It precedes the announcement with the words,
" Bulletin of the health, or rather the agony, of the
Cabinet."
" Yesterday, after the sitting, Ministers were sadly
dispirited. The result of the vote on the whole Address
appeared to them more frightful still than that on ' the
Prichard indemnity.' ' It proved that the Deputies who
abstained from voting had perfectly weighed the im-
portance of their resolution, and that their intention was
not to save their responsibility by a species of subter-
fuge, but to disavow in a signal manner the conduct of
the Cabinet; the 216 votes likewise convinced the Ministry
that the enormous minority of the opponents was not to be
broken up. The Chamber being now divided into two equal
camps, no longer permitted the Cabinet to hope that
the indulgence they . had hitherto experienced would be
continued to them in future. The first movement of
the majority of Ministers, after the reflections that
immediately followed the defeat, was to resign and re-
tire. M. Guizot ccnsulted the Duke de Broglie. The
reply of the Hon. Peer of France could not be doubtful.
He had only to remind M. Guizot of his own anterior acts,
and the proof he had himself given of his respect for the
conditions of the representative Government. M. de
Broglie advised M. Guizot to resign office without the
least hesitation. Other friends of the Minister were of
the same opinion ; and the Journal des Deba /shad pre•
pared a dignified article, announcing the retreat of all the
Ministers, defying their successors to do better, and con-
cluding with the funeral oration of the Cabinet. In those
circumstances M. Guizot would have proved himself con-
sistent, and realised the declaration he had made before the
Chamber. ' If the co-operation of the great powers of
the state fail us, I do not say completely, but if it be not
sufficiently firm to support our policy with success, we
should not continue any longer in the direction of affairs.'
After leading during four years a humble and precarious
existence, obliged at times to solicit the charity of votes
reluctantly given, and exposed at other periods to have
their numberless contradictions insultingly thrown into
their faces, Ministers should have died a little more
proudly than they had lived. But several Ministers,
and M. Duchatel in particnlar, were, however, of opi-
nion that the most honourable retreat was not equal to
the retention of power for a few days longer. M. Guizot
vainly reminded him of his solemn words—' We will not
suffer our policy to be disfigured, enervated, and debased
by an insufficient majority.' M. Duchatel, who is not
to be put off with worus, could reply to him, My
dear colleague, do you seriously imagine that your
policy with respect to the right of seareh, of Otaht ite,
and the Pritchard indemnity, has made a very conspi-
cuous figure in the world ? that it was considered be-
coming and energetic, and bespoke any grandeur ? Let
us be consistent. To govern as we have hitherto done,
a majority of three or four votes is as good as forty.'
The Ministry, wavering between these conflicting opi-
nions, thought proper to advise with its Parliamentary
friends. Fifteen Deputies were called in consultation
that very night. We have not heard whether those po-
litical doctors were drawn by lot from among the Minis-
terial party, or if they wore chosen with common accord
from among the most faithful. We suppose that they
were so chosen, and that M. Fulchiron, their chief, was
of the number. A regular deliberation took place, and,
strange to say, five out of the fifteen voted for the re-
treat of the Cabinet. The entire Ministry, nevertheless,
sided with those who expressed a contrary opinion.
Their ultimate resolution was adopted about midnight ;
the publication of the funeral oration of the Journal des
Debuts was adjourned ; it may be useful, and we expect
to read it one of these mornings."
The Courrier Francais contains the following ill-
natured article respecting Lord BROUGHAM'S inter-
ference in the business :
" Lord Brougham is in Paris, and will leave in a few
days for London, to be present at the opening of Parlia-
ment. It is well known that his Lordship fills between
the two Cabinets, with an officious periodicity, the func-
tions of commercial traveller of the entente cordiale. By
him, and through him, are the words exchanged by the
two Cabinets, from the tribune of both Parliaments con-
certed and arranged. All this is settled in the discreet
conventicler of the Hotel Talleyrand."
The Constitutionnel says the Conservatives, de-
spairing of success in the Chambers in obtaining a
vote for the PRITCHARD indemnity, have resolved to
make it up by subscription, and states that the fol-
lowing members have subscribed I,ooof. each :
Messrs. Hartmann, Francis Delessert, Bussiere,
Muret (de Bord), Doguereau, Harle,
Latournelle, Lavielle, Montozon, Barleot, Alphonse,
Perier, De Peyramont, Raguet-Lepine, Dejean,
Sebastiani, Gravier, Perier (de l'Ain), Cousture, and
Prevost. It is hoped (this journal adds) that by the
care of the two Commissioners appointed to fix the
indemnity, viz., Lord SEYMOUR and Admiral ihme-
LIN, the sum of 20,000 f. will be more than sufficient
to compensate the injury caused to the different trades
and undertakings of Mr. PRITCHARD.
The Funds remained steady. The Three per Cents.

Royal Highness Prince Albert visit the Duke and
Duchess of Norfolk, at Arundel Castle, during the
approaching sojourn of the Court at Brighton, the royal

A TIDE•WAITER CONVICTED.......At Gravesend
Police-court, on Wednesday, William Thompson, a tide-
waiter in her Majesty's Customs, was charged, at the
prosecution of the Commissioners of Customs, with
having, on the 22d of December, unshipped from the
Wilberforce steamer, belonging to the General Steam
Navigation Company, on board of which he was acting
tide-waiter from London to Gravesend, ten pounds of
loaf or refined sugar, of the value of 11. Bd., including
duty, and eleven ounces of green tea, of the value of
3s. 9d., including duty, the same not having paid duty.
After hearing evidence at great length, the Mayor said
that the magistrates were of opinion that the case against
the defendant was full proved; they therefore convicted
him in a penalty of treble the value of the goods
seized. The convicted officer will be of course dismissed
the service. The Court during the trial, which lasted
from twelve to half:past three, was crowded with officers
of the Custom and Excise.

Portuguese Ministers, the Ministers of the Interior and
Commerce, the Dukes d'Estessac and d'Albufera, Baron

The bust for which his Majesty Louis Philippe gave
so many sittings to the sculptor, Mr. Jones, of London,
was on Tuesday cast in the Musks Roy al, and is con-
sidered by the King and the Royal Family to be so per-
fect a likeness that, he has ordered two marble copies,
one for himself, and the other for the Queen of England.
His Majesty has been pleased to place the bust of Sir
William Maguey, Bart. (late Lord-Mayor of London),
done by Mr. Jones, amongst his eellectiou, and has pre-
sented Mr. Jones with a magnificent gold medal.
Semi-Pacha, Minister of the Interior of the Peale of
Egypt, has arrived in Paris.
Accounts of the death of Prince Louis Christian
Augustus of Hohenlohe Langenburg have been receise d

We find the following in the Revue de Paris:—" Be-
fore deciding oh renting a small house at the upper part
of Chaillot, M. Villernain wished to return to the Insti-
tute, and relinquished his intention only on the earnest
instances of his friends, who feared that being again in
his old apartment, surrounded by the mementoes of his
studies, and near his library, he would resume too soon
his usual labours. his state, however, is very satisfac-
tory. He employed a great part of last week in putting
his pipers in order, burning a great many. He went
out one day, accompanied by a professor of the Univer-
sity, one of his early friends. They went together to
the Institute, awl thence to the school in which M.
Villemain's two elder daughters are placed. The calm
repose of the retreat he has chosen will, it is hoped,
shortly complete his re-establishment."
The Count de Salvandy has been appointed M. Ville-
main's successor, as Minister of Public Instruction.
The Minister of the Interior has authorised the Rail-
road Company of the Gard to establish a line of tele-
graphs from the mines of Grand Combe to Beaucaire,
through Alais and Nimes, but has prohibited any other
signals than those relative to the service of the railroad.
The King has commuted the sentence of death passed
upon Chevreuil, the young shoemaker who killed his
mistress by stifling her by means of a mask of pitch, into
hard labour at the hulks for life.
The last accounts from Switzerland possess some in-
terest. We learn by a letter from Berne, of the 25th,
that the Council of Zurich has refused to accede to the
proposition of the Government of Berne to prevent, by
force of arms, the establishment of the Jesuits in Lu-
cerne, but has resolved, by a majority of 9 to 4, to send
federal commissions to Lucerne, to recommend, in the
strongest possible terms, that the Jesuits should not be
admitted. In the canton of Berne, and other parts of
Switzerland, public meetings have been held, at which
it was resolved to expel the Jesuits by force, if the Diet
should not decide upon their expulsion. The Austrian
Charg6 d'Affaires was using his influence to induce the
different states to observe a line of moderation, instead
of exposing the federal pact to dissolution by a civil war.

hearing a Wesleyan preacher; had been emancipated

IMPROVEMENTS IN TRH TOWER. —Workman are
now employed in clearing out the foundation of the late
armoury, for the erection of commodious barracks to be
commenced forthwith, the present sit', in the eastern
section of the fortress, having long been deemed ex-
tremely damp and unhealthy. On the removal of the
pavement laid down in the reign of William and Mary,
it is discovered that the burial-ground belonging to the
&lurch, situate in the north-west part, extended much
further than was supposed, and a large vault has been
wade for the reception of the mortal remains thus
brought to view. As the stagnant water has long been
drained from the ancient moat which surrounds this
celebrated edifice, the cultivation and planting of the
bottom is rapidly progressing.
