House) on the 9th of May, and those for the
Landsthing Upper. House, on the Sd of June

luton is disagreement between the United

to the throne.
| RESIGNATION OF THE DUTCH CABINET.
The Dutch Cabinet has resigned. M. j. R.
Thorbecke, Minister of the Interior since 1S49,
| is replaced by NJ Reenen, Burgomaster of Am
sterdam, and M. Nijevelt by NJ. Hall The
cause of the difficulty was the recent establish
ment of a Roman Catholic Bishopric. In the
Second Chamber, in reply to question, Heer
Van Howell observed that the Government
had taken its position on a constitutional
principle, but the Court of Rome had effected
| the organization in question, without having
fulfilled the promise it had made, that is to say,
| without having given the Dutch Government
| the required notice respecting the time and
mode of carrying out that organization. He
| (Van Hoevell) considered that the Cabinet had
just ground for complaining on that score; and

Court Of Rome its sentiment on that point, In
such a manifestation the Cabinet would be sup
ported by the Chambers. [Cheers.

DISTURBANCES IN TURKEY.
A Geographic dispatch which has reached
| Paris from Vienna, under the date of the 2lst
ult., states that the greatest excitement pre-
walls at Constantinople. 1t was asserted in that
capital that Prince Menschikoff was urging the

AFFAIRS OF SPAIN.
The letters received from Spain continue to
throw light on the ministerial crisis which has
taken place there. 1t appears that the whole
affair was produced by the intrigues of CANA
rilla, at the head of which were those two i'm
portant personages, the Queen Christiana and
the Duke de Rianzares. 1t appears that these
personages have invested enormous sums in two
great speculations, the canalzation of the Ebro
and the railway from Bayonne to Madrid. 1t
was found that the Cortes did not approve alto
gether of the financial arrangements proposed
with respect to the latter, and they, therefore
took very simple way of getting rid of the diff
iculty, by precipitating the ministerial crisis,
and disembarrassng themselves of the Cortes by
closing the doors. The queen motherlintended
that the coup detaf should be complete one,
but the affair failed; and every attempt is now
being made to patch the matter up in con-
stitutional manner till better opportunity Of
