The MINISTERIAL CRIsIs.-From the London

Stanley has failed to form Ministry-in conse-
ouence of which he has restored to her Majesty the
commission which she graciousy entrusted to him.
His Lordship had an audience with the Queen at
Buckingham Palace yesterday afternoon, when his
inability to complete his administration was made
known to her; and no doubt all the circumstances
which led to this result.
Shortly afterwards royal deputation was for
warded to Lord John Russell, at his private resi-
dence, Gresham Palace, and in all probability his
Lordship has been again commanded to reconstruct
his cabinet though we do not find information IN
the Court Circular that his Lordship had had any
interview with her in the course of yesterday
Both houses of Parliament are to assemble this eve
ming, when, it is confidently expected, Lord Stan
lev and Lord John Russell will be admitted by her
Majesty to give full explanatory statements as to
the part each has taken in duties imposed upon
them respectively, by their gracious sovereign.
ENGLAND-In the House of Commons last eve
pinp. Lord John Russell moved further adjourn
ment of the House, as the Queen had sent for the
Duke of Wellington to take his opinion on the pres
ent position of political parties; he protested his
desire to maintain free trade to extend franchise
and put the Papal aggression down, but stated
that Lord Aberdeen and Sir Jas. Graham deem
ed any Legislative measures the last named sub
iect superfiuous this a point in which nego-
tiation failed. The interregnum continues and
NAV endure for week, or even month, as far as
present appearances are concerned. The Papal
police of Government have prevented confusion
which might otherwise have taken place between
the Peetes and wings. At present all parties are
ANNOYED the wings are irritated at their defeat
the Protectonists at their weakness, and the Peel
ties at the paucity of their numbers. The Duke
in fact old as he is, could bring present discordant
elements into play more successfully than any 9TH
er man in the kingdom. New regulations respect
ing passports have been issued. The committee
for the regulation of the Spanish debt are still &C
lively occupied in the examination of questions
and with greater sincerity of purpose than at any
previous occasion.
5 DEATH OF GEN. McDUFFIE-We learn from tht
Charleston Mercury that this distinguished orato
and statesman died at Columbia, South Carolina
