one was prepared for this result 1t is said in
the House that the Queen will not appoint
Palmerston, but that the Earl of Derby will ut
once accept.

the 23th ultimo, arrived at New York yester-
day.
In England the Ministerial crisis absorbed
public attention. The resignation of Lord

declined TO accept the positiQn-saered him.
According TO custom, Parliamentary bust
ness was suspended. The Houses met on Mon.
day 10 receive the formal announcement of the
resignation Of the Ministry, and then adjourned
till Friday. The new Reform Bill and other
| bills peculiarly Government measures were
considered defupst. rbe question now was
whether Lord Derby ~oSld 20 ON with the
same House, or dissolve Parliament. The prob.
ability was that the dissolution would be post
poned till summer.
Lord Lansdowne. in the House Of Peers, and
Lord John Russell, in the House Of Commons,
have declared that they will resist any attempt
to reimpose the duty upon corn.
Generally speaking the new Cabinet is ia
yorabIy received Reports prevailed, however,
that the Opposition would not vote the usual
supplies until Lord Derby phoud announce the
principles upon which the Administration
would act
The incident which attracted most notice in
France was the arrest Of NJ. Baroche, one OF
the trustees Of the Orleans property, on the
charge Of circulating seditious publications.
The alleged protest Of the AutOcrat OF Rus
STA, addressed TO Napoleon, is suspected TO be
unfounded.

City, where its machinery is now being con-
structed for shipment at the earliest day.
The editor OF The Tribune-having known
from boyhood Mr.. Collins, (the President and
Chief Director of this Company and having
the fullest confidence not only in his integrity
and truth. but in his business capacity and sue
cessful experience in Quartz Mning-has been
induced to take a responsible part in the man
agement of this Company. IL his name affords
any guarantee to the public that the engage
ments of the projectors will be fulfilled, they
have that guarantee to the fullest extent
What these engagements are are clearly set
forth in their advertisement, and more fully in
a pamphlet, which will be given or sent to every
one who shall see fit to apply for it, Each will

therein offered for investment in the stock Of
this Company are sufficient and satisfactory.

of families, and not in desperate circumstances,
who have n turn of the California fever, to i'm
vest the money it would cost them to reach the
Gold Region in the stock of some quartz-crush-
ing company which they believe will be hon
estly managed, than to desert their families.
and be borne along in the general rush for the
banks of the Sacramento. But let no man be
induced to invest in gold-mining money needed
to pay his Just debts to support and educate
his family, or to discharge any other social duty
California is far away; mining is at best pre-
curious; and no man can say what tomorrow
will bring forth. Thus far, the gold-bearing
quartz of California appears to have proved
rich beyond precedent how long it may con-
tinue to yield 80 literally, no one can tell. All
can say with confidence is, that the stockhold-
ers in the Manhattan Company seem to
have as good prospect and hope will have
their interests as well cared for, us others.
