News from BERLIN to the Sd instant informs us
that the resignation Of M. Won RADovITz, as Min
lister Of Foreign Affairs, had been accepted by the
King. M. Radovtz appears to have been opposed
in his policy by all the other leading Prussian
statesmen, among them NM. Manteuffel and
Stockhausen, and Count Brandenburg. His retire
ment is an unavoidable consequence of Prussia's
accepting the compromise with Austria and Russia
at Warsaw. The Times thinks that settlement
of the Danish and German question will be materl-
ally expedited by this change in the Prussian Gov
eminent. In fact, Austria has sent an officer to
Kiel with dispatches from the Bund commanding
immediate cessation of hostilities, and threaten
ing the enforcement Of the order, by means OF the
troops of the Bund, in case of refusal to obey it.
The Electorate OF Hesse has been invaded in
the south by the Bavarian troops in the name OF
the Bund, who have arrived at Hanau. The Hes
sian troops have been disbanded and compelled to
give up their arms and accoutrements. A Prussian
detachment has entered Hesse by the north, and
have reached Cassel; and it seems probable that
the Electorate will remain for the present in the
divided occupation of the two armies. Perhaps
this was one Of the arrangements at Warsaw.
The King Of HANOVER has succeeded in form
ing new administration, with Baron Munchausen
at the head Of il. The change Of Ministers is not
to involve any change of policy.

uniformly peaceable and quiet. Some portions Of
our Australian dependencies are advancing with
rapidity in population, produce, and commerce
which would fairly represent repetition OF your
progress, did the comparison hold good in other
respects. DR.. LANG, the advocate of the separa-
ton Of the Colony from the mother country, has
been elected to the Legislature Of New South
Wales as member for Sydney. The importance
of that city may be estimated by the fact that ,9l5
persons voted at this election-970 of them for
DR.. Laing.
Late accounts from CHINA express an apprehen-
sion that the young Emperor and his Government
are not SO well disposed for friendly alliance with
England as the late Emperor and his advisers
lately showed themselves to be. 1t is said that
they still feel keenly the ignominy of their defeats
in the late war, and that party even openly ex-
press themselves anxious to be revenged. There
have certainly lately occurred more than one in
stance in which striking reluctance has been
shown to draw our alliance into closer intimacy.
NOVEMBER 8.
The great event Of the morning is the letter from
Lord JOHN RUSSELL to the Bishop Of DURHAM, on
the subject of the Papal aggression, which appear
ed in the second edition Of yesterdays papers. A
meeting Of the Common Council of London was
held yesterday, at which vote of thanks to Lord
John Russell was carried with reclamation. It is
impossible to give any abridged summary Of this
spirited and well-tmed production without doing
injury to its sentiments. We therefore send you
a copy Of it atlength.

late aggression Of the Pope upon as IN

There can be little doubt that the sentiments and
feelings expressed by Lord JOHN RUSSELL in this
letter-strong protest as it is against the Papal as
