of the Asia, at New York, on the l4ih inst.
She brings dates from Liverpool to the ls'

quoted al 90 els. The following is all
the political news Of any importance brought
by the Asia:
From the London Standard Of February
goth, we CLEAN the following: The coun-
try will be sorry to hear that Lord Stanley
has failed 10 form Ministry. The commits
sion for which he has, in consequence, ,restored
10 her Majesty who gfacionsly inrusted 1t
10 him. His Iordship had an audience with
the Queen, al Buckingham Palace, yesterday
afternoon, when bis inability TO complete his
administration was made known TO her Ma
Iies,y and no doubt The whole Of the clrcums
tances which led 10 this result. Shortly al
forwards the Royal dispatch was forwarded
from the palace to Lord John Russell, at
II his private residence, Chesham Place, and
in oil probability his LordShip has been again
commanded to reconstruct his cabinet, though
we do not find any lntimaion in the Cour
Crbuar that bis Lord9hip had had any inter-
view with her Ma ajesty in the course of yes
terday.
Both Houses OF Parliament assemble this
evening, when it is confidently expected 'ha
Lord Stanley and Lord John Russell will be
permitted by her Majesty to give full ex'
IpIanitory statement as to the part each have
taken in the duties imposed upon them, res
pectively, by their gracious sovereign.
! ENeLAND.--In the House of Commons
last night, Lord John Russell moved furlh'
er adiou.nmen, of The House, as the Queen
had sent for the Duke Of Wellington, to take
his opinion on the present position OF polltl
Iical parties. He professed his desire II
mainta ain ffeerade. TO extend the franchise
and put down the Papal aggression; but sta
, ted that Lord Aberdeen and Sir James Ora
ham deemed any Legislative measures on tn
. las, named subject superAous. THIS was tn
point in which the negotiation failed.
. The intenegnum continued, and may en-
. ldure foV a week, or even month, as far n
; present appearances are concerned. III
r Papal policy Of Government has prevente
T the confusion which which might have Other
WISE taken place between the Peel'ie'
I and Wings. A, present all parties are on
S moved and irriared-lhe wings at their de
, lects; the protection;s'ssat their administra
2 tive weakness; and the Peelies at the pauc
:|ity oftheir numbers. The Duke, in fac
old as he is, would bring the present dlscol
: dunt elements into play more successful
!; than any other man in the kingdom. Ne
r regulations respecting passports, have bee
y issued. The commissioners for the regula
e lion of the Spanish debt, ore still nctivel
s occupied in the examination OF the question
y and with greater cInceriiy Of purpose than
j, any previous occasion.
