drew the Foreign Office, never having had it before.
Lord Palmerston the Home Department, for the first time
in an official reign of nearly half a century. Lord Lincoln
the Colonies, for which a trial of the Woods and Forests
had qualified him. Mr. Gladstone, having held the Colo-

(!) lies in the Exchequer, drew the Board of Control.
Sir Win. Molesworth, whose political life is identified with
Colonial Reform, almost fainted on finding his ticket for
Public Works.' One solitary and splendid exception,
however, turned up. Sir James Graham, the " Knight of
the bright sword," as Cobbett used to call him, who has
occupied various offices, and represented every shade of

political opinion,—who had by a judicious economy some
years ago, so reduced the material of the Navy, that

AUSTRIA.

The Emperor returned to Vienna at five in the morning
of the 24th from his Prussian journey. The Austrian
papers give long and detailed accounts of the brilliant re.
ception which he met with at the hands of his royal rela-
tive, and, reasonably enough, conclude that the formal
reconciliation of the two monarchs must be looked upon
as an event of great political importance. It is given aspositive that the King of Prussia proposes to pay a visit
to the Emperor of Austria at Vienna in the beginning of
next year, in return for the late imperial visit.
The Emperor has given orders for a considerable reduc-
tion in the effective strength of the Austrian army. The
reduction is not only to be applied to the infantry, but
also to the cavalry and artillery, the horses of the dis-
missed soldiers to be sold. It is chiefly in the armies of
Italy that the reduction i 5 to take placed

LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET,

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 31.
The markets of the district, usually held on the Saturday,
being this week again thrown a day out of course, we had, this
morning, as anticipated, a very thin attendance of the trade;
yet on the whole we have experienced a moderately fair de-
mand for foreign Wheats from the millers of our own locality,
as well as for shipment to Ireland and round the coast, and
except in some instances, in sales off the quay, the market
closes firm at fall prices.—Some tolerable sales of Flour have
been made, but the general state of the market for this article
is dull, and prices scarcely maintained.—Barley, Malt, and
Peas are in moderate request, without variation in value, but
Egyptian Beans are the turn in favour of buyers.—Oats are
held very firmly, but the demand is not active to-day, though
a good many parcels have changed hands in the interval from
Tuesday.—Oatmeal dull, and nominally rather cheaper.—
Indian Corn ex warehouse without inquiry : an arrived cargo
or two have been sold, Galatz at 355., c. f. and i. We annex

"THE HAPPY FAMILY.

SCENE-ARGYLL HOUSE

Enter ABERDEEN as First Witch, after him the Cabinet
and other officials ; in the middle a cauldron boiling.

First Witch.—Thrice the veering Times has chang'd
Second Witch.—Everything is now arrang'd.
Third Witch.-- cried " 'Tis time, 'tis time ;
All things now are meet and prime ;
Vainly has the budget loom'd,
Disraeli now is doom'd."
First Witch.—Round about the cauldron go ;
In let all officials throw
Principles they now must smother,.
For the love of one another,
And the price of their admission
To the Peelite coalition—
All.—Double, double, toil and trouble,
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.
Russell first, for want of better,
Throws therein his Durham letter ;
Gladstone throws in Convocation,
Puseyite State Education ;
All the time by Baines derided,
And by Molesworth grimly chided ;
Graham throws in the whole Brigade,
Emblem fit of Popish aid,
Curses which the priests have utter'd,
Treasons they have inly mutter'd,
As a charm of powerful trouble,
Which will make hell-broth bubble.
All.—Double, double, toil and trouble,
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.
Palmerston we must not miss ;
He throws in the Judas kiss,
Which from all his colleagues greets him,
As by Aberdeen he seats him.
Then, to further on the charm,
Bernal Osborne, Molesworth, Graham,
Just to please the Peelite palate,
Cast therein the Vote by Ballot.
Wood throws in, and none can grudge it,
A twice and thrice rejected budget ;
Income-tax he sought to double,
Just to save himself from trouble.
Last of all, to make the charm
Full of evil, full of harm,
All join hands, and add thereto
Vote of the blaspheming Jew.
All.—Double, double, toil and trouble,
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.

Enter Hecate.
Hecate.—Oh, well done ! I commend your pains,
And every one shall share i' the gains. W. G.

AUSTRALIA.

A letter from Sydney, dated 30th August, says :
Population is now pouring in on us in earnest from all
quarters of the globe. The immigration from the United
Kingdom is very great, but Jonathan is invading our
shores in large numbers by way of San Francisco, while
Germany sends her sons from Hamburgh, Lubeck,
Bremen, and other ports on the North Sea. Neither is
the flowery empire behind in the general race which is at
present going on towards the Australian goldfields ;
several ship loads of Chinese have arrived from the port of
Amoy within these last few months, but these men are
mostly sent down, under indenture, to serve the colonists
as shepherds or general servants.
The diggings on this side continue in statu quo, for
want of population to develope them. The few that are
on the ground are earning 30s. a-day by only digging
about two feet down and nuggetting. The gold is of a
nuggetty character, similar to that from Mount Alex-
ander, and is now being brought to market in increasing
quantities.

Mount Alexander still continues to yield enormous
quantities of gold ; it is confidently asserted by some that
the yield is not less than 100,000 ounces per week ; if so,
it seems astounding that the diggings, within 10 months
of their first opening, should be producing at the rate of
about £20,000,000 per annum.
A new constitution of the colony is being prepared by
a select committee of the Legislature. Its main features
are to be a double Chamber—viz., a Legislative Assembly
elected by the people, of not less than 72, and an upper
house or Senate of not less than 21, appointed by the
Crown, two-thirds of whom must be gentlemen who have
been elected at any time to a seat in the Legislature; the
revenues of the country to be cnntrollod by cne tower
house, and the two chambers to be styled the Parliament
of New South Wales.

NEW ZEALAND.

Advices from Auckland to the 14th of September state
that the attractions of the Victoria gold fields were begin-
ning to be felt in an extended degree, many of the small
storekeepers and tradesmen being about to sail to them.
There was, however, no movement of importance among
the farming population, whose profits, if they have the
wisdom to remain, are likely to be much greater by sup-
plying the miners with food than by working with them.
