THE

NEW MINISTRY.

Lord GREY and the Right Hon. EDWARD
ELLICR arrived in town yesterday morning. Im-
mediately on arrival, they had an in-
terview with Lord .Tout Russiir.r.. The Noble
Lord had constant communication with all the
leaders of the Liberal party the whole of yester-
day. Many days cannot elapse before something-
will be known, but at present all is surmise, and we
refrain from giving currency to rumours that are
totally destitute of any foundation.

(FROM coRRESPONDENT.)
Lord GRBT arrived in town yesterday, and had
an interview with Lord JOHN ltessEt.L.

Lord MORPETH is also expected in town shortly.
Lord MINT() and other Whig noblemen and gentle-
men are also expected to arrive in town.

A meeting of influential political friends was held
yesterday at Lord JouN RUSSELL'S private residence
in Chesham-place.
The Duke of BEDFORD left town on Saturday
evening, on his return to Woburn Abbey.

The following appeared in our Third Edition of
last night :

Lord Joim RUSSELL has called a meeting of all the
Members of the former Cabinet, and of other influen-
tial Liberal leaders for to-morrow morning, at his
house in Chesham-place. The Marquis of LANS..
DOWSE, Lord PALURRTON, the Right Hon. EDwtjl)
ELLICE, Lord GRRY, and several others, have been
in consultation with Lord JOHN RUSSELL this day.
Sir DENIS LE MARCHANT and Mr. TUFNELL have
been in atttendauce also. Rumours have been afloat,
that the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, and not Lord J.Rus-
-BELL, would be the Premier; but we believe there is no
truth in the rumour. Until after the meetihg of to-
morrow nothing can be with certainty predicted, but
the strong leaning continues to be, and to increase
in strength, that Lord JOHN RUSSELL will form his
Government without much longer delay.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)

A general meeting of Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S
political supporters will be held to-morrow, and
after the meeting Lord JOHN RUS3ELL will proceed
to Windsor Castle to communicate the results to
the Qussx.

We believe that the end of the present extraor-
dinary crisis will be the formation of an Administra-
tion by Lord JOEL'S RUSSELL. But this is our opinion
only. This result is probable, but not certain. Lord
J 0 Russ is not responsible for the present
state difficulties ; and it would be not only incon-
sistent with his hab!tual caution and indicative of in

THE

NEW MINISTRY.

The following appeared in our Third Edition 01

last night :

Lord JOHN RUSSELL has called a meeting of all the
Members of the former Cabinet, and of other influen-
tial Liberal leaders for to-morrow morning, at his
house in Chesham-place. The Marquis of LANS.
DOWNE, Lord PALMERSTON, the Right Hon. EDWARD
ELLICE, Lord GREY, and several others, have been
in consultation with Lord JOHN RUSSELL this day.
SIF, DENIS LE AIARCHANT and Mr. TUFNELL have
been in atttendance also. Rumours have been afloat,
that the Marquis of L ANSDOWNE, and not Lord J.RUS-
SELL, would be the Premier ; but we believe there is no
truth in the rumour. Until after the meeting of to-
morrow nothing can be with certainty predicted, but
the strong leaning continues to be, and to increase
in strength, that Lord JOHN RUSSELL will form his
Government without much longer delay.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)

A general meeting of Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S
political supporters will be held to-morrow, and
after the meeting Lord JOHN RUSSELL will proceed
to Windsor Castle to communicate the results to
the QUEEN.

Some people are disposed to think that the late
resignation has been nothing but a trick—that Sir
ROBERT PEEL and Sir JAMES GRAHAM have done it
to prove that the Whigs cannot repeal the corn-laws,
nor the Duke of RICHMOND save them, and to get
themselves brought back to office, and beat the Duke
of WELLINGTON. We are not of this opinion. We
cannot believe that Sir ROBERT PEEL would have
deprived her MAJESTY of advisers at this critical time
—critical both at home and in our relations with
America—in order to play a party trick. He would
have kept the trick in reserve, at any rate, till the
meeting of Parliament.

\Ve take for granted that the measure on which
the late Cabinet have foundered does not differ essen-
tially from total repeal of the corn laws. There have
to be sure, in the late Govern-
Leen explanations,
ment organs about compensation to the landed in-
terest by taking off taxes affecting it, and about in-
crease of direct taxation. But why did the Duke of
WELLINGTON resist ? Why did Lord ABERDEEN'S
parr announce that the Cabinet were going to repeal
the corn-laws? Why, after that announcement, did
Tory Peers hasten to withdraw proxies from the
Duke of WELLINGTON ? Why did the Duke allow
them to be withdrawn ? And why—why, above all
—did the Duke then break up the Minibtry? The
measure must have been as odious, as abhorrent from
the professed principles of the PEEL Ministry as total
repeal.

The fact is, that the late sudden and mysterious
resignation of the PEEL Cabinet has been the natural,
though at the moment unexpected, end of a system of

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, Dr.c. 14.—The two-deckers late-11-
forming the experimental squadron under the-coniMand
of Commodore Willes, of the Vanguard, are to be sta-
tioned as follows, but kept in readinera for sailing on the
shortest notice:—The Rodney, 92, Captain Collier, C. 8.,
and the Superb, 80, Captain Corry (the latter we be-
lieve, however,-will ultimately proceed to the Nore), will
remain at Spithead. The Vanguard, 80, Captain Willes,
will proceed to the Cove of Cork, and take the flag of
Rear-Admiral Sir Hugh Pigot, now carried by the
Crocodile, 26. The Albion, 90, Captain Lockyer, C. 8.,
and the Canopus, 84, Captain Moresby, C. 8., will re-
main at Plymouth. Such we believe are at present the
destined stations of these fine ships, and we applaud the
project of keeping them in our roadsteads, ready for any
emergency.
The Rodney and Superb are refitting at Spithead; and
in order that no time may be lost in repairing their de-
fects the artlzans sleep on board. The Rodney, we are
informed, has fewer defects to repair that any other ship
of the squadron.
The Nautilus, 10, Lieutenant-Commander M`Donald,
is also detained at Spithead by contrary winds.
The Scourge steam-sloop, Commander Caffin, is pro-
gressing very rapidly with her fittings and manning.
She will have another bed for her mortar cast, having
split her first when lately practising with the mortar.
It is intended we believe to try wood.
The Lizard iron dispatch boat, Lieutenant Commander
Tylden, is refitting with all dispatch alongside the jetty.
The Rattler steam-sloop, Commander Smith, in dock,
will be ready to leave next week.
The Excellent gunnery ship, Captain Chads, is likely
to change her position up the harbour for one outside,
near St. Helens. We hope the report is true, as it is
impossible officers and men can be properly trained in
the practice of gunnery afloat in still water, which is
the case now, and has been since the appropriation of
the Excellent as a school of instruction in the art of
naval gunnery. By mooring this vessel " outside," she
would be subject to the unimpeded action of the sea,
and consequently enable her officers and crew to become
far better acquainted than they can possibly be at pre-
sent with the practice of firing when the vessel is
; added to which, she would be, in such a situation,
a tar more efficient protective floating battery than half
a dozen block" ships.
The following officers are undergoing their half-yearly
examination at the Royal Naval College :
Captains—Hon. G. Ilamings, Jones, Giffard, and
Halstead.

Commanders—lngram, Sullivan, Fisher, Fishbourne,
Help man, and M'Cleverty.
Lieutenants—Griffiths, Ryder, Royer, and Wood.
Lieutenants of Marines for the Artillery Companies—
Meape, Gell, Henry, Davis, and Baynes.
Mates—Brandreth, Molyneux, Partridge, West, and
Parish.
London, England, 1845-10-24

PROSPECTUS.

Commencing at Cambridge, which has now become the traffic-
centre of the,Eastern Counties, by the line of railway intended to be
formed by that Company, this line will proceed to Bedford, there
passing near Olney it will cross at or near the Blisworth Station of the
London and Birmingham Railway, where it will communicate with
the Northampton and Peterborough line; it will then proceed west-
ward, crossing the Oxford and Rugby line at or near Fenny-Compton
to Stratford-On- Avon, there joining the proposed Hue from Warwick
and. Leamhigton to Cheltenham, Olonaester. Bristol, and the Westof
England ; continuing its course through Alcester, the line will go tit-
reetto Worcester, and thus terminate at the great centre of traffic
for the mineral and manufacturing districts of South Staffordshire,
qhropshire, and North and South Wales. This proposed lino does
not Interfere with any existing railways, and presenting, as it does,
an unbroken line between two great centres of traffic, the importance
of the undertaking needs no further comment.
Negotiatio“s have -been entered into • with the Eastern Coun-
ties Railway Company, by which their support and co-operation will
be onsured for obtaining the line now proposed.
An arrangement has also been made with the proposed Rugby,
Warwick, and Worcester Company, which this line will join at Al-
cester, and by means of which the Eastern Counties' traffic will pro-
ceed to Worcester.

Power will be reserved to the Directors to amalgamate with any
other existing or projecting Companies, or to vary the line.
Application for shares may be made to the Secretary, and to the fol-

EASTERN PRODUCE.

Cotton—The favourable accounts from home have occasioned a
further advance in the prices of Dollera and Oomrawuttee Cotton,
which may be quoted at from 4 to 5 rupees higher than last
month. Broach, Surat, Jumbooseir, and Barsee, severally remain
without change. Transactions have been limited, and shipments
comparatively small.

Opium—This drug has risen since the departure of the last
mail, from Rs. 1,375 to Rs. 1,500 per chest—at which latter rate
we now fix our quotation.
In other articles of Eastern produce we have no changes in price
to notice, and no transactions to record.
Freights—There has been little fluctuation since our last
in the rates of freight to Great Britain. The shipments of
produce has been limited, but as the amount of available
tonnage has been moderate, no. material decline has at any pe-
riod taken place. We may now quote the rates to London and
Liverpool at 34 10s. to 31. 12s. 6d. per ton—to the Clyde, nomi-
nal, and to China 16 rupees per candy. The Berkshire and Em-
peror have been taken up for the conveyance of her Majesty's 2d
Queen's Royals to England, at the rate of 241. per ma:), and sail in
the course of the week.

PROSPECTUS.

Commencing at Cambridge, which has now become the traflle-
centre of the Eastern Counties, by the line of railway intended to be
formed by that Company, this line will proceed to Bedford, there
passing near Olney it will cross at or near the Blisworth Station of the
London and Birmingham Railway, where it will communicate with
the Northampton and Peterborough line; it will then proceed west.
ward, crossing the Oxford and Rugby tine at or near Fenny-Compton
to Stratford-on-Avon, there joining the proposed line from Warwick
and Leamington to Cheltenham, Gloucester, Bristol, and the West of
England ; continuing its course through Alcester, the line will go di-
rect to Worcester, and thus terminate at the great centre of traffic
fbr 'the mineral and manufacturing districts of South Staffordshire,
Shropshire, and North and South Wales. MIS proposed line dope
not interfere with any existing railways, and presenting, as It does,
an unbroken line between two great centres of traffic, the importance
of the undertaking needs no further' comment.
Negotiations have been entered into with the Eastern Coun-
ties Railway Company, by which their support and co-operation will
be ensured for obtaining the line now proposed.
An arrangement has also been made with the proposed Rugby,
Warwick, and Worcester Company, which this line will join at Al-
cester, and by means Of which the Eastern Counties' traffic will pro-
ceed to Worcester.

Power will be reserved to the Directors to amalgamate with any
other existing or projecting Companies, or to vary the line.

The Committee of Management hereby give Notice that they
have COMPLETED the ALLOTMENT of SHARES, and that the
usual letters are this day issued. In the arduous duty of deciding on
&gins unprecedented, it is believed, in their number and respecta-
bility, the Committee have been obliged to give a preference to ap-
plicants locally interested, or likely to bring to bear for tha Company
a large share of legitimate influence. The numerous persons, with
undoubted claims on the score of wealth and social standing, whose
applications have either been passed over or cut down, are requested
to accept this reason as the Committee's apology.
The Committee desire to add, that while attestations of public
support are daily reaching them from the most influential quarters,
the engineering preparations, under Mr. Braithwaite, are so far ad-
vanced, that the project cannot fail to be placed before Parliament in
a manner the most satisfactory to the Shareholders.

it should be referred to a Committee to consider whet ei•-n

Mr. STEVENS said he considered the introduction of the
railways into Farringdon-street, greatly beneficial as it
doubtless would be, was insignificant. in comparison with Le
vast improvement which it would lead to in the vicinity, by
removal of the horrible nuisances round about, and the demo-
lision of the acclivities of Holborn-hill and Snow-hitt.
Such a combination of advantages would socn produce an
extraordinary effect.
Mr. NORRIS said a few words in favour of the project., and
the petition was unanimously referred to the improvement

SHARES! SHARES! SIIA'RES.
There's nothing in England's commercial affairs
More worthy of note than the purchase of " Shares."
The enormous excitement which railways create,
Has engross'd the attention of thousands of late.
In fact, ev'ry person seems loath to let slip
The chance of obtaining a share and a "scrip;"
And this has induced Messrs. MOSES and SON
To do as the Railway Directors have done.
Yes, MOSES and SON, who have seen the great stir
Are resolved to sell " shares," without any demur;
They have hundreds of thousands of " shares " in their trade,
For which valued " shares" low " deposits" are paid.
But recollect, readers, for such a prime chance,
The "deposits" must always be paid in advance.
Then ye who may wish to hold " shares" more or less,
Come and purchase a "share" of our beautiful dress;
The small " share" of profit which MOSES thus reap
Makes the shares in their clothing remarkably cheap.
Then hasten, good reader, as millions have done,
And share the advantage of MOSES and SON.
The New Work, entitled " The Monarch Mart," with full direr
Lions for self-measurement, may now be had on application, or Iv
warded, post free.

COVRT OF COMMON COUNCIL.
Yesterday a Court was held for the dispatch of business.
There was a very numerous attendance of members, in conse-
quence of the appearance on the paper of business of the fol-
lowing notice :—" To receive a report from the Improvement
Committee, on the petition of the Direct London and Bir-
mingham Railway Company to treat for premises within the
City for the purposes of railway termini, recommending the
proposed sites as desirable for such purpose." From the
general appearance of the Court, it might be inferred that
complete unanimity existed in favour of the proposition to
convert Farringdon•market and the site of the Fleet Prison
Into termini.
