more violent of the French papers, and the almost
total cessation of attacks on England, with the ex-
ception perhaps of one Republican and one Legiti-
matist journal, is the best proof of the efficiency of his
labours in such a good cause. But that he 'pos-
sesses the energy to carry on a contest with Ame-
rica or any encroaching state, and maintain the high
position to which England is entitled among the na-
tions, is another question. In that respect we regard
him as far inferior to Lord PALMERSTON, and should
the new Foreign Secretary abate a little of :the
haughty tone laid to his charge by all French
writers, and direct his undoubted energy in a quarter
where it is more wanted, the change will be one of
the greatest benefits to the country. Indeed, with the
exception perhaps of Sir ROBERT PEEL, who never
truckled either to TYLER or PoLR, we regard him
as by far the most fit person to settle our disputes
with the United States. But the great advantage
caused by the late changes will be most felt in that
distracted and misgoverned country—lreland. The
Irish Catholics, more than any portion of their fellow-
subjects, have uniformly adhered to the motto,
" Men, as well as measures." Good measures, in-
troduced by Tories, they do not absolutely reject,
but they receive them with the worst possible grace ;
they cannot believe their old enemies sincere ; they re-
gard their favours rather as bribes than acts of justice ;
and they always exhibit fears and suspicions that the
best deeds are performed with the malignant pur-
pose of lulling them into security, or throwing divi-
sions into the camp, or setting up one party against
another. Never was the truth of this statement
more fully illustrated than by their reception of two
liberal and excellent measures—the Maynooth Bill
and the Irish Colleges Bill. The old character of
the givers could not be forgotten. It took from the
gifts one-half of their value—deprived Sir R. PEEL of
that honour and gratitude to which he was justly
entitled, and measures which, under a Whig Ad-
ministration (for we must still use that epithet),
would have given general satisfaction to seven
millions of loyal subjects, did not perceptibly re-
move one prejudice from the shoulders of the Con-
servative leaders. Lord MORPETN, therefore, can
do, with a good grace and with the best effect, what
Sir JAMES GRARAM was unable to accomplish with-
out exciting jealousies and heart-burnings, and rous-
ing up old enmities fatal to the due administration
of justice. It is hardly necessary to refer to
the Board of Trade and the Board of Control
and the Colonies, for it would be impossible to find
any man less capable for his post than the Earl of
RIPON, or one who could give such general dissatis-
faction as Lord STANLEY. The Earl of DAL-
HOUSIE was untried—we hardly know anything
of his abilities or his aptitude for busi-
ness ; but about Mr. LABOUCHERE there can
be no mistake whatever, and we believe
even his opponents will be ready to admit that from
the whole of his party not one man could be so ap-
propriately selected for conducting the Board of
Trade. The office of First Lord of the Trea-
sury is of course one of the most important,
and the success of the new Ministry will greatly
depend upon the experience and abilities of the
Minister appointed to fill it, but still it is not
of paramount importance. Sir ROBERT PEEL, in
that character, gave very general satisfaction,
but still all would not do. With the ex-
ception of Sir JAMES GRAHAM and Lord
ABERDEEN, he received little or no support
from his colleagues, and, therefore, the strongest
Ministry ever formed became at once a total wreck.
Lord J. RUSSELL, as a financier, possibly has not the
experience of the late Premier. He has never yet
filled the office, but, judging from the manner
in which be has conducted high departments in the
State, and the powerful support which he cannot fail
to receive from able colleagues, we may confidently
anticipate that he will not disappoint public expec-
tation.

A few days since we called the attention of our
readers to a projected society for the protection of
persons involved in railway affairs, and, at the same
time, enforced the importance and utility of the
object. We are glad to find that a plan has at length
been matured, and an association, under the ap-
propriate title of " Railway Mutual Protection
Societyi" formed, and the regulations for its go-
vernmeut printed, and ready for circulation. By an
advertisement in our columns, it appears a numerous
meeting was held at the office of the solicitors on
Wednesday last, over which Mr. COLLINS, M.P. for
Warwick, presided, and we have much satisfaction
in being able to lay before our readers the rules and
regulations which were then adopted. The immediate
objects of the society, and its utility, are well en-
forced in the speech of Mr. D. W. HARVEY, which
will be found in this day's Sun. That gentleman was
unanimously elected the president of the society, and
from his known sagacity and experience, aided by
the high standing of the solicitors, we augur much
good in the protection the society will give to persons
who find themselves entangled in the artifices of
fraud and the intricacies of the law.

It is satisfactory to know that among the clergy of
the Church of England there are some at least who
do not read the Divine command to feed their flocks
in a non-natural sense. The speech of the Reverend
JAMES ASPINALL at the Anti-Corn-law meeting at
Hull, a report of which will be found in another
column, is one of the most eloquent and argumenta-
tive speeches against the famine-creating corn-
law that we have ever heard or read.
We believe, that among the clergy of
the Church of England, there are many who desire
the abolition of this law as ardently as does Mr.
ASPINALL, but they lack the moral courage to avow
their sentiments. We beseech all such no longer to
let "I dare not wait upon I would," but at once
make common cause with their industrious countrymen.
In the coming struggle he who is not for us is
against us. Let, therefore, those among the clergy,
who are our friends, follow the example of Mr.
ASPINALL. We can well afford to give to the mono-
polists the SMITHERS, COXES, et hoe genus omne, as
long as we retain the ASPINALLS.

We publish in our athertising columns the report
of the Committee of the Royal Northern Lunatic
Asylum, presented to the general meeting of the sub-
scribers at the Castle of Inverness. We have so re-
cently directed the attention of our readers to this
subj€ ct, that it is only nec,::ssary for us now to request
that they will attentively peruse and consider the
document to which we have referred. Appended to
the report is the list of the Committee, which, it will
be seen, consists of the elite of the nobility and gentry
of the counties of Inverness, Ross and Cromarty,
Sutherland; Caithness, and Nairn. Their names are
sufficient guarantee to the subscribers that the funds
of the institution will be properly administered, and
we therefore call upon all Scotsmen in every part of
the world to be aiding and assisting in this good work.

The Madrid journals of the 11th bring no intelli-
gence of importance. The municipal election had
commenced in the capital, and were going on favour-
ably for the Government. The weather at Madrid
was splendid for the time of the year. On the 11th
the Three per Cents. closed at 37i, and the Five per
Cents. at 24 3-16 at 60 days.

The articles in the Paris papers refer chiefly to the
Ministerial crisis in England, and the alterations in
the tariff proposed by the Minister of Cofnmerce.
The Presse, an ultra-Conservative paper, is probably
guided more by the wishes of its party than by sound
argument in its remarks on the former subject.
Nothing, it says, can be done without Sir ROBERT
PEEL, and any Ministry that Lord JOHN RUSSELL can
form must prove an abortion without him. " The
real necessity," according to that paper, " of the
present situation in England is neither the obstinate
maintenance of the status quo, nor the abrupt aboli-
tion of a law on which rests the constitution of ter.
ritorial property ; but a moderate reform, an equi-
table arrangement between the partizans of a regime
henceforward impossible, and the promoters of a
regime, which, if effected at a single blow, wiuld be
epuivalent toa revolution. But Sir R. PEEL is essentially
the man calculated to bring about this arrangement.
It is on this account that he is of such great weight in
the present circumstances, and that they who are
charged to replace him declare that nothing is feasible
without his aid. We cannot say whether he will give
it, hut nobody denies that all depends on him. Why
should he not have power in the Government ? And
since all depends on him, why should he be reduced

to the position of an assistant to the Whig Cabinet ?
Why remain a stranger to it? Why should the
Whigs, who, from their own avowal, can only play
the second part, be placed in the front of the theatre?
There is in all this an anomaly which we do not
comprehend ; and we repeat it, that every combina-
tion without Sir IL PEEL will have neither solidity
nor duration. Let the trial of the contrary, however,
be made. It is not the first time that in politics a
great deal of trouble has been taken to arrive at an
abortion."

The following on the same subject appears in the
Government paper :—" The Peerage has now its
hands at liberty, and what is there to prevent its
acting ? The place is vacant—why should it not
fill it ? why does it not set to work ? We are quite
sure that Sir R. PEEL, were it not too serious a
matter, would be well pleased at seeing the Duke of
RICHMOND, the Duke of BUCKINGHAM, Earl STAN-
HOPE, Sir E. KNATCHISULL, Mr. MILES, and Mr.
TYRRELL, who three days ago said that he was
delighted at witnessingan end to the reign of humbug,
at seeing, we say these great politicians under-
take the Government, were it only for two or three
days, and observing the manner in which they
would carry it on. We must take the times as they
are. In our days and in the present complicated state
of society, improvements of all kinds are carried only
slowly, and only by a compromise between contend-
ing interests. Thus in England there are two parties
wishing to progress by absolute measures, who say all
or nothing ! and both of whom find themselves re-
duced to equal impotency. Perhaps they will at last
each be glad if they should be so lucky as to find an
ultimate safety in that compromise which will be
proposed to them by that mixed party which now suf-
fers them to battle on in confusion."

The Presse is utterly opposed to any change in the
_ _

tariff-laws, and above all those relative to foreign
iron, but its views are founded on the wildest doc-
trine of the monopolist school, and deserve no notice.
The following are miscellaneous extracts from the
papers :

" On Tuesday the King came to Paris, and presided at a
Council of Ministers.

" Their Majesties received, on Monday evening, the Ba-
varian Ministers to the Courts of France and England, the
Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Prefect of the Seine, the
French Chargé d'Affaires for the Court of Hesse, Sir John
Easthope, M.P., the Count de Scercay, and M. Maurice,
Chief Engineer of the Pont-et-Chaussees.
" The Royal Council of the University held its first sitting
on Tuesday. All the Councillors attended the summons of
the Minister of Public Instruction, Grand Master of the
University. The Minister opened the sitting with a speech,
in which he enumerated the principal points to which the
attention of the assembly would be immediately directed,
and expressed his earnest solicitude for the interests of
education, and those of the University. One of the Council,
in his own name, and that of his colleagues, made some
observations, which were satisfactorily replied to by the
Minister.
General Duvivier, to whom is intrusted the command of
the troops in the expedition against Madagascar, has left
Paris for Cherbourg.

LATEST NEWS.

SUN-OFFICE, Quarter past Three.

There will not be any list of the new Cabinet
published this day. The Ministers are now in con-
sultation, and to-morrow, in all probability, the entire
arrangements will be announced.
What course will be adopted as to a dissolution of
Parliament cannot as yet be predicted ; but, from
the best information we can get, we believe that no
immediate dissolution is contemplated.
The Parliament cannot meet before its usual
time, unless it should be called together merely
for the purpose of moving the writs fur the re-
elections which the acceptance of office renders

❑ecessary.

Lord Lyndhurst will sit in Lincoln's Inn Hall, at
one o'clock to-morrow, to deliver judgment in the
appeals that remain for decision.
Lord COTTENHAM has accepted the seals.

DEATH of LORD WHARNCLIFFE

Lord Wharncliffe, Lord President of the Council,
expired at his residence in Curzon-street, at half-
past ten o'clock this morning Ilis Lordship has been
ill for some days past, but no immediate danger had
been apprehended.
Ilis Lordship's son, the Hon. John Stuart Wortley,
was with his noble parent at the time of his decease.
This will occasion a vacancy for the West Riding
of Yorkshire, for which Lord Morpeth will be re-
turned by acclamation.

ASYLUMS FOR TUE TiousELEss.—Last evening a
vestry meet* of Clerkenwell pariah was held to receive a
report from the committee appointed by vestry to co-operate
with other metropolitan parishes in resisting the order of the
Poor-law Commissioners, directing the guardian board to ap-
point two persons as members of the board of management of
a proposed central asylum for the houseless poor. Mr. Church-
warden llellis in the chair. The report was read, as also the
draft of a memorial to Sir James Graham. The memorial
had not been presented in consequence of recent circumstances,
and it was stated that the guardian board had confirmed the
appointment of the two members of the proposed board of
management, which appointment, it was considered, should
not have been made. Sir James Graham having refused to
receive a deputation from Marylebone parish, it became a
question whether the memorial should be presented. A dis-
cussion took place on the subject, and it appeared to be the
general opinion of the parishoners present that the matter
should be proceeded with. The report was adopted, and the
memorial agreed upon, and the committee urged to obtain, if
possible, a personal interview with the Secretary of State, for
him to interpose his authority to prevent the order of the
l'oor-law Commissioners from being carried into operation to
form metropolitan asylums for the houseless poor.
Du. Bo wRING AT BOLTON.--BOLTON, TIIURE-
Day.—Last night a meeting of the inhabitants of ibis bo_
rough was held at the Temperance Hall, for the purpose of
hearing an address from Dr. bowring, upon the pre-
sent aspect of political affairs, and for stating the course of
conduct which they wished the learned doctor to adopt in
the present eventful crisis. As Dr. 13owring had only a am,
or two ago taken part in the proceedings of the citizens of
London, and as he had been known to lie in communication
with the heads of the free-trade movement, considerable
anxiety was manifested to hear his address, and hundreds of
persons, notwithstanding the wetness of the night, had to go
away disappointed. He was accompanied to the room by C.
J. Darbishire, Robert Heywood, Henry Ashworth, and
Edmund Ashwurth, Esqs., &c. Mr. Darbishire having been
called upon to take the chair, briefly introduced the learned
doctor to the meeting. He addressed it at considerable
length, giving an account of his stewardship. After the con-
clusion of his address, Dr. Bowring was questioned by two
Chartists respecting his votes on the Factory Bill and the
Maynooth Grant, and the replies lie gave being satisfactory,
a vote of confidence was carried by at least a hundred to one.
The preceedinge then terminated.
INCREASE OF PARCELS TRAFFIC BY RAILWAY.
The revenue of the parcels traffic upon the London and
Birmingham Railway has increased a third over and above
the receipts of last year, while the gross receipts for many
particular weeks, show not less than forty per cent. increase
over the corresponding periods of the previous twelve
months.—Railway Express.

IVIONE T and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO TIMEX.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 5;000 bags,
all to the trade. There was no change in ;.:ices, but the
choice was rather large. Shares were witnout alteration.
Much conversation has occurred here to-day on the pro-
babilities of the duration of the Ministry about to be formed
by Lord John Russell. The general impression is, that
should Lord John succeed in his object, that a dissolution of
Parliament is not far distant. This tends to check business
in almost all branches of trade.
There are no accounts of a later date from the Colonies to-
day.

'The Consul Market has been very buoyant to-day. For
the Accouut, the price has suddenly advanced from 92% to
923/4. The report is that there will be a junction between
Sir Robert Peel and Lord John Russell, by which the corn-
law question would be carried with a high hand through the
Commons, as well as the House of Lords. The Reduced.
Three per Cents. have risen from 9214 to 92%. The pre-
mium on Exchequer-bills has ruled at from 17s. to 19s.
A very limited amount of business has been transacted in
the Foreicn Stocks to-day. The only quotations have
been, for Spanish Five-per-Cents. 2834 ; for the Three-per-
Cents. 39%; for the Dutch Two-and-a-Half•per-Cents. 60;
and for the Four-per-Cents. 93%.
The Birmingham and Gloucester Railway Shares have im-
proved to 123 premium, the Eastern Counties to 434 pre-
mium ; the Great North of England have receded to 105 pre-
mium, and most of the other Shares are also heavy this
morning. The actual prices at which business has been
transacted are annexed :

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)
CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.
Fair average supplies of English Wheat have come to
hand during the present week, and the stands to-day were
well filled with samples of that article. For all descriptions
the demand was in a very depressed state at prices barely
equal to those obtained on Monday last. In free foreign, as
well as bonded Wheats, so little was doing that the quotations
were almost nominal. The finest malting Barley was quite
as dear, but all other kinds were a dull inquiry and the turn
lower. Malt was in short supply and heavy demand, at
barely late rates. The show of Oats was not large. The
best qualities sold at full currencies. In ether kinds very
little was doing. Both Beans and Peas might have been
purchased on easier terms. The Flour trade was very dull.
