The British Ministerial Crisis,
The London Times of the 18th June says:
we have reason to believe that Her Majesty, as
mark of special favor, will confer upon Lord
Derby the Order of the Garter, to fill a vacan-
cy, and will summons an extraordinary chap
ter of the Order for that purpose, Her Majes
ty will also confer the Grand Cross of the Bath
upon Lord Malmsbury and Sir John Packing
ton.
In the House of Commons on Saturday,
June 18th, Lord Harrington brought up the
report upon the Address, as amended, which
was agreed to. On the motion of Lord John
Russell Her Majesty's speech was ordered to
be taken into consideration on Friday next
The House then adjourned till Friday, 18th
inst.
The Times leading article of the 18th, has
the following: "The veto on Saturday morn
ing left no choice to the ministry of Lord Der
by, however tenacious of Office, except at the
earliest possible moment to place their resig-
nation in the hands of her majesty. At an
early hour on Saturday morning. the Cabinet
assembled and agreed to place their reSigna-
ton in, the hands of the Queen. This was
done, and the fact of the ministerial resigna-
ton was formally announced by Lord Derby
at the banquet Of the merchant taiorS' com
pany, at which several Of the ministers were
present.
On the afternoon of Saturday, Lord Gran
vile received u summons from the Queen to
wait upon her Majesty at Buckingham Palace.
We have reason to believe that her Majesty,
after listening to all the objections which Lord
Granville had to Offer commanded him to form
an administration which should at once be
strong in ability and parliamentary influence,
and should at the same time comprehend with
in itself full and fair representative of all the
sections into which the Liberal party had no
toriously been divided. Furnished with this
commission, Lord Granville waited upon Lord
PalmerSton, and communicated to him the
views of the Queen. In the handsomest man
ner and without the slightest hesitation, Lord
Palmerston consented to accept, under Lord
Granville as Prime Minister.
In the first interview, Lord Granville was
disposed to insist upon conditions which
would render any union or cooperation with
Lord Palmerston impossible, whether the gov
eminent was presided over by Lord Granville
or any other person.
The Queen, upon being satisfied by Lord
Granville that he would only be an obstacle,
instead of a means of facilitating the union be-
tween Lord John Russell and Lord Palmer
ston, gave an audience to Palmerston, which
lasted for one hour and half On Lord Pal
merston's return from the Palace, he mmedi-
John Russell to serve under Lord Palmerston,
but not under any other person ; and he APP
pears to stand in the letter of his agreement.
The Times says Lord John Russell has ac-
cepted the foreign office under Lord Palmcrs-
ton.
The Daily News of the 14th says it believes
Elgin is offered the Secretaryship of the colo
MES. Mr. Golden will have direction of the
Board of Trade, and Miner Gibson will enter
L.,
Minister of War; Sir G.. G. Lewis, President
of the India Board ;4and Mr.. Gladstone of Ex-
chequer; Sir Ii. Bethel is also spoken of for
the latter office Sir James Graham, with the
Duke of Newcastle and the Duke of Argyle,
has declined to join the Administration.
From the London Times of June 18th.
Amid the thousand-andone rumors that
have been chasing one another since it fell to
Lord Palmerston to reconstruct the Wing Cab
met one thing alone, as far as we know is def
initely settled, Lord John Russell has accepted
the Foreign office and this places beyond any
doubt if doubt there could be, the policy of Eng
land on the Italian question. Lord John Russell
has ever been known as an ardent friend of
the Italian race, Italian freedom, Italian unity.
AS these feelings have been generally shown
where they had not to stand any practical
test, they have been manifested with as much
enthusiasm as was compatible with Lord
Johns singularly calm and rational nature.
With Lord Palmerston's avowed belief that,
had England stood by France in her negotia-
tons with Austria, she could have prevented
the war, and that even now we must look to
the Anglo Gallo alliance for the final and salts
factory settlement of Italy, Lord John Russell
will have as much scope and authority in his
office as if he stood alone. 1t is difficult to i'm
agne disagreement between the two states
men. Both wish Austria to admit the fact of
her defeat, her ascertaned inferiority, and the
incurable disadvantages of her position south
of the Alps. Both are Of opinion that she will
consult her own greatness by relinquishing
territory which costs an immense army and
still greater odium. Both see i'll France u bet
ter agent for the reorganization Of Italy, and
for the creating of the federal union, which is
all the unity possible under the existing Cir
cumstances.
Were the questions to be confined to the
present state of affairs, the policy might be
stated in a sentence,-Austra is flying home
ward; France and Sardinia are persuing her
across the AIDA; Free corps are moesting
her in the North Venice is about to be at
tackled Immediately; on the east and on the
south, the whole peninsula is rising against
her, and expelling her allies and her garriSons.
The only advice to be given is, that Austria
should accommodate herself to these painful
circumstances just as England admitted the in
dependence of the United States, and France
twice submitted to the dictation of invaders.
There can be no glory gained by stubborn
and even victorious resistance to the just
claims of a great nation. And it is unwise to
wage war where military success incurs a
moral opprobrium. No doubt this and similar
considerations will be urged upon Austria by
the two ministers who have undertaken to di.
vide the responsibilities of our foreign rela-
tions.
The FUNDs.-The Times city article OF
the 14th says belief that the new Ministry,
which is in course of formation by Lord Palm
erston, will inspire respect abroad and without
pretending to establish confidential relations
with Napoleon will conduct its intercourse
with France in consistent and dignifed man
ner has given increased strength to the funds

Milan to the people of Lombardy, likewise
had favorable effect; although it is seen that
such documents are merely intended to serve

The following is from the Times city article

ton that Prussia will soon abandon her posi-
ton of neutrality, caused relapse in the funds
although they appeared to rest on no definite
or avowed authority, and are perhaps merely
encouraged at Berlin to meet the excitement
in the other German states. Doubts as to
whether steady and powerful government at
home can even yet be hoped for in England,
looking at the elements of which the Liberal
party is composed in the face of compact
opposition OF 80 members, had considerable
influence in checking the disposition to buoy
