ties of the season have, as usual, operated as a
quietus on all other movements ; while the Ministerial
crisis has thrown a wet blanket on the festive enjoyments

THE f

r, as is the time of year for such proceedings
as are comprised in Parliamentary speeches and elections,
the circumstances under which Lord ABERDEEN has
played his part, as a Cabinet maker, have afforded oppor-
tunity for many ingenious speculations as to the future
career of his strange collection.

" All the talents," was the derisive nickname given to
one of the most contemptible Governments mentioned in
English history. Some sly friends—admirers of the new
Cabinet—suggested the applicability of the title to our
present rulers ; and, in some quarters, the sarcasm was
naively accepted in its literal meaning. There was at first
something novel in acoalition of such incongruous elements

as the components of theABERDEEN OMINUMGATLIERUM,
which seemed to tickle the curiosity of the country, and
to lead to much amusing speculation. The surprise of
the nine days' wonder, however, having now subsided, the
public are beginning to count loss and gain, to look from
the list of Lord DERBY'S Administration to that of Lord
ABERDEEN'S Cabinet, and to weigh the aggregates, and
the individuals one against the other. The range of the

new Ministry, from the FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY

to the SOLICITOR-GENERAL FOR IRELAND, IS certainly

pretty compreh,nsive ; from the antiquated, precise, dull,
puny old Scotchman, Lord ABERDEEN, to the rattling
Radical tenant-league young Irishman, Mr. KEOGH. A
glance at the lists of the old and new Administrations,

now lying before me, suffices to assure one as to the answer
which the country will give to the appeal which the new
Government is said to be on the eve of making to it.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET,

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 31

There has been a quiet business in Beef, at steady prices,
with the prospect of an increased demand after the holidays.
Pork fully maintains the late advance, and the stock in the
hands of the trade is unusually light. No new American Bacon
yet to hand. The price of Irish and English is steadily main-
tained, at 48s. to 525. per cwt. Lard is low in stock, and is
held with increased firmness ; the sales for the week reach to
about 30 tons. Some small parcels of Cheese have arrived
during the week, which come to a brisk market.

REVIEW OF THE PAST YEAR.

JANUARY.—The year 1852 commenced with general dis-
satisfaction throughout the country at the position of
Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S Administration, and a convic-
tion that a speedy change was inevitable. It was clear
to every one that the effete policy of Whiggery had been
used up, the country was thoroughly tired of the family
party, the recent dismissal of Lord PALMERSTON had
deprived them of the only valuable member they pos.
Owed, and, though it tiff Reform Bill was looming in,

FEBRUARY.—The Session of Parliament was opened on
the 3d of this month, with a Speech from the Throne,
in which the unmeaning verbiage characteristic of Whig
concoctions was more than ordinarily conspicuous. On
the 9th, Lord J. RUSSELL introduced his new Reform
Bill, proposing some curious groupings of small bo-
roughs, and the reduction of the qualification limit to
£5 householders ; he was not, however, up to the tac-
tics of Mr. BARNUM in getting up an excitement before-
hand, and the measure dropped almost stillborn. On
the 20th, the proposition of the Ministry for the esta-
blishment of a Local Militia was opposed by Lord
PALMERSTON, who moved that the word general should
be substituted, and the Government were defeated by a
majority of 138 to 127. Upon this Lord JOHN RUSSELL
resigned, and on the 26th the Earl of DERBY announced
in Parliament that be had taken office. This was im-
mediately followed by a factious opposition, got up by
the ex-Premier, who called a meeting of malcontents at
his house in Chesham-place. Much indignatiou was
excited at the hasty recal of Sir H. SMITH from the
Governorship of the Cape of Good Hope, and the sub-
stitution of General CATHCART, by Earl GREY, the
Colonial Secretary ; and the threatened inquiry into the
subject precipitated, it is believed, the RUSSELL resig-
nation. News from Australia of further discoveries in
the gold diggings increased the desire for emigration.
On the 10th, the Court of Queen's Bench pronounced
the decision confirming the dismissal of Mr. RAMSHAY
from the Judgeship of the Liverpool County Court. On
the 2d, an attempt was made to assassinate the Queen
of Spain, which led to the usual reaction of enthusiasm
in her favour.

INDIA.

We gave last week the telegraphic despatch in anticipa-
tion of the overland mail from Bombay, to the 30th Dec.
The General-in-Chief was still at Rangoon, and Sir John
Cheape was commanding at Prome, lying on his oars, and
forbidden to move a step. There was no other sign of
life in the campaign than the constant arrival at Rangoon
of fresh troops from India, and the despatch of reinforce-
ments thence to Prome, where there was no enemy to
encounter. Nearly six weeks after the occupation of
Prome, and tour after the Burmese General had sur-
rendered himself to us, and reported that the Burmese
army near that town consisted of a rabble of 4,000 or
5,000 men, who were only waiting for the excuse of a few
shot from our guns to decamp, everything continued in
the same state of lethargic abeyance. About 1,100 men,
with two heavy guns, had been despatched on board the
Bentinck, Nerbudda, Damoda, and Mahanuddy, to oc-
cupy Pegu. One of these steamers had been sent pre-
viously to reconnoitre, and had returned with four war-
boats without finding it necessary to fire a shot. No re-
sistance could therefore be anticipated, but General God-
win had accompanied the detachment for the purpose of
chronicling its achievements in his usual style. Every-
thing was quiet at Proms. and Rangoon.
It is not expected that the King of Ava will make any
bond fide overtures for peace until our forces are at least
as near to his capital as they were at the conclusion of the
last war. An Eastern prince or chief, even though he
should meditate no active resistance, usually considers it
a point of honour not to give in until his enemy is close
to his gates.
Lord Falkland has returned to Bombay from the Mah-
ableshwur hills after his usual eight months' annual
absence from the seat of Government. _ _

A letter from Manilla mentions the arrival there of the
famous Garibaldi, who defended Rome during the Presi-
dency of the Prince de Canino. 'Garibaldi, who com-
mands a merchant-vessel, sailed tin the 9th of August for
China.

CORN MARKETS

MANCHESTER, DEC. 31.—Throughout the week the trade
has ruled exceedingly languid, and the few sales made in either
Flour or Oatmeal could only be effected by accepting offers at
lower prices than those previously current. Our market this
morning, being held off the usual day, was quite of a holiday
character. So little business consequently occurred, that quo-
tations are almost altogether nominal; but the tendency of
prices was decidedly in favour of buyers.
WAKEFIELD, DEC. 31.—We have moderate arrivals of
Wheat and Barley. There is more demand for Wheat to-day,
and holders extremely lirm at the full prices of last Friday.
Barley is quite as dear, and very little left unsold. Oats and
Shelling steady at late prices. Beans, from want of condition,
are Is. lower.

WISBECH, JAN. i.—There has been a fair quantity of all
kinds of grain at our market to-day. Wheat of all descrip-
tions was free sale, and fully Is. higher; a few selected samples
a little dearer still. Common 55 lb. and 56 lb., 38s. to 40s. ;
and 425. to 455. for 57 lb. to 59 lb. Beans and Oats are held for
rather more money.

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, DEC. 31.—The supply of Wheat
from the growers was a good deal short of last week, and having
an active demand, the whole was soon cleared off, and prices
ruled the turn in favour of the seller. The arrivals Coastwise
are large, but holders being very firm in their demands, buyers
had to give the full rates of last week: the same remarks like-
wise apply to Foreign. In the value or demand for Barley no
improvement can as yet be reported. For Oats there is more
inquiry, although no advance could be established. Peas and
Beans as last quoted. Owing to the heavy receipts of Flour,
the sale proved dull at late rates.

DUBLIN, DEC. 30.—The continuance of wet weather, ac-
companied by high winds, during the past week, has been in
favour of sellers of all kinds of food, at prices which three
months ago could hardly be thought of. During the holidays
all persons are generally provided with stocks, so that prices
are much the same as last week.

CORK, JAN. I.—As usual, after Christmas we have had a
very quiet week in Flour. Some Wheats, offered is. per barrel
under late rates, found buyers. Indian Corn is inactive.
BELFAST, DEC. 31.—Since this day week we have been dull
in the corn trade. At this day's market we had a thin attend-
ance. Wheat and Flour not much offering, and sales can only
be made at a slight decline. India Corn dull; and no demand
for floating cargoes. Our farmers' supplies small ; all articles
rather in favour of the buyer.

CORN MARKETS

MANCHESTER, DEC. 31.—Throughout the week the trade
has ruled exceedingly languid, and the few sales made in either
Flour or Oatmeal could only be effected by accepting offers at
lower prices than those previously current. Our market this
morning, being held off the usual day, was quite of a holiday
character. So little business consequently occurred, that quo-
tations are almost altogether nominal; but the tendency of
prices was decidedly in favour of buyers.
WAKEFIELD, DEC. 31.—We have moderate arrivals of
Wheat and Barley. There is more demand for Wheat to-day,
and holders extremely firm at the full prices of last Friday.
Barley is quite as dear, and very little left unsold. Oats and
Shelling steady at late prices. Beans, from want of condition,
are ls. lower.

WISBECH, JAN. I.—There has been a fair quantity of all
kinds of grain at our market to-day. Wheat of all descrip-
tions was free sale, and fully Is, higher; a few selected samples
a little dearer still. Common 55 lb. and 56 lb., 38s. to 40s. ;
and 425. to 455. for 57 lb. to 59 lb. Beans and Oats are held for
rather more money.

NE WCASTLE-UPON•TYNE, DEC. 31.—The supplyof Wheat
from the growers was a good deal short of last week, and having
an active demand, the whole was soon cleared off, and prices
ruled the turn in favour of the seller. The arrivals Coastwise
are large, but holders being veryfirm in their demands, buyers
had to give the full rates of last week: the same remarks like-
wise apply to Foreign. In the value or demand for Barley no
improvement can as yet be reported. For Oats there is more
inquiry, although no advance could be established. Peas and
Beans as last quoted. owing to the heavy receipts of Flour,
the sale proved dull at late rates.

DUBLIN, DEC. 30.—The continuance of wet weather, ac-
companied by high winds, during the past week, has been in
favour of sellers of all kinds of food, at prices which three
months ago could hardly be thought of. During the holidays
all persons are generally provided with stocks, so that prices
are much the same as last week.

CORK, JAN. I.—As usual, after Christmas we have had a
very quiet week in Flour. Some Wheats, offered Is. per barrel
under late rates, found buyers. Indian Corn is inactive.
BELFAST, DEC. 31.—Since this day week we have been dull
in the corn trade. At this day's market we had a thin attend-
ance. Wheat and Flour not much offering, and sales can only
be made at a slight decline. India Corn dull; and no demand
for floating cargoes. Our farmers' supplies small; all articles
rather in favour of the buyer.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1853-01-04

TURKEY.

We learn from Syria that Mehemet Pasha, Com-
mander-in-Chief of the army in Arabia, has suspended
operations against the rebels of the Haouran, and taken
up winter quarters, in order to spare his troops the fatigue
and disease consequent upon warfare in the winter season.
On the 12th and 13th ult. a sharp action took place near
Podgorizza Montenegro, in which the light cavalry of the
Turks at first gained a slight advantage. The -Montene-
grines, however, received strong reinforcements from
Piperi, and the Turks were routed. A truce is said to
have been concluded until the decision of the Sultan on
the claims of the Montenegrines has been received.

CONSERVATIVE PROSPECTS.

THE beginning of a New Year—if it suggests serious
reflections, also inspires cheerful hopes. The year
1852 will be a memorable one in the history of
party: The annihilation of "The Whigs" will be
referred to that date ; while the national Conserva-
tives will be able to look hack to the same period
with honest pride, for proofs of their own consis-
tency and independence, their courage and patriot-
ism. The accession of Lord DERBY and his col-
leagues to office in 1852, an,l their withdrawal from
it in the same year, have been alike honourable to

themselves and disgraceful to their opponents. The
Whig Cabinet, with all its family sympathies and
widely x amified interests, finding they were no longer
able for the discharge of their duties, "shuffled off
their ministerial coil" at a moment, and under cir-
cumstances, which rendered the task of their suc-

Now to a stately presence grown indeed.
Meanwhile my fire sane low, but heat was there,
Sweet genial heat, in prfume-laden air.

Seemed my guest weary with the heat, and stooped
'\eath the rich droppings of the gleaner's toil,
Autumn. Thick sheaves of corn, fair produce of the soil,
And purple clusters that from vineyards drooped,
And apples, rosy-cheeked, and russet pears,
And golden plums, heaped round him unawares

Gazing amazed at this, a hail-storm beat,
Loudly and wailing, at my lattice pane;
TVinter. It roused the fire, that bright upblazed again,
And an old man was bending o'er the heat,
Spreading out trembling palms to catch the glow,
And from his mantle shaking flakes of snow.

So I had seen a Vision of the Year,
On this its threshold and its night of birth :
Seen all its fair succession upon earth,
And hailed each change as right, and good and dear;
I had dreamed longer, save the church bells broke
My slumbers, and to New Year's dawn I woke._
