Miscellaneous. A Very Great Change Has C...
MISCELLANEOUS . A very great change has come o'er the spirit both of Lord Derby and Mr . Disraeli , within the last few days , relative to the stability of tho Government . The Premier himself was never particularly sanguine as to the duration of his ministry , unless ho should be able to get some new adhesions of important men ; and it is no longer a secret that all his efforts with that view have signally failed . But Mr . Disraeli was sanguine that the ministry would last . He is no longer so . We are enabled to state that the right hon . gentleman has , within the last few days , suffered some expressions to escape him which clearly show that he does not expect to be in office for a period of four weeks after the meeting of Parliament . —horning Advertiser . " —Fudge !—Morning Herald . Directly the new Parliament opens , petitions will be presented from the following places , praying either for a new election , or thati-the petitioner may be declared the sitting member : — Cork City . —Colonel Chatterton , petitioner against W . F . Fagan , M . P ., on the grounds of intimidation . Carlow County . —Captain J ^ 'Clintock Bunbury , petitioner against John Ball , M . Jfo on the grounds of personation of voters . Clare County . —Colonel Vandeleur , petitioner against Cornelius O'Brien , M . P ., on thei grounds of intimidation . Louth County . —Major M'Clintock , petitioner against Tristram Kennedy , M . P ., on the ground of want of qualification . New Ross . —Henry Lambert , petitioner against Charles G-avan Duffy , M . P ., on the ground of intimidation and want of qualification . Waterford County . —Hon . R . Hely Hutchinson , petitioner against John Esmonde , / M . P ., on the grounds of personation of voters and intimidation . Major Beresford " assisted" at the gathering of the Hinchford Agricultural and Conservative Association on Wednesday . Numbers of clergymen were present . Mr . Beresford denied that the Derby Government came in as Protectionists . They came in to keep out Sir James Graham and Mr . Cobden ; to serve the Queen ; and to obstruct Democracy ! He admitted that there was a decided majority against protection , and he thought Ministers had better sing small on that score . He recurred again to the Brain tree " rabble , " and attempted to excuse himself for that speech on the ground th # t he was dreadfully put out , and that after dinner everybody is liable to a slip of the tongue . Nevertheless , he thought that the Braintree folks were to blame ; and that tH 6 y ought to have heard his speech fairly through .
Lord John Russell, Accompanied By Lady F...

Tho news of the death of the Duke of Wellington had arrived in America per tho Canada , and had spread con-Hidorablo gloom over tho United States . A great , portion of the American journals are occupied with memoirs of tho lato Duke . The Canadian Parliament adjourned on the iJHtli in compliment to his memory .
The eulogy on the life and services of Henry Clay was delivered at Louisville on the iiHI . li by Mr . (' riltciidcn , in tho presence of an immense number of ladies and gentlemen . It wan an eloquent and touching tribute to the memory of the departed statesman . The directors of the New York Mercantile Library Association have extended an invitation to Hon .

On the evening of the 3 rd of October , says the Belgian Moniteur , several detachments of the Austrian and Russian garrisons went to the castle , with fly ing colours and the bands playing , to receive his Majesty the King of Hanover , whose arrival had been announced . Suddenly , amid the surrounding darkness , a steamer was descried , which was illuminated , and hoisted a flag . The guns were immediately fired , and all were on the alert . An instant , not the King of Hanover , but Queen Marie Amelie and the Prince de Joinville disembarked . The august travellers , who did not expect such a reception , immediately repaired to the Hotel Barth , where they encountered Prince Charles Lucien Bonaparte , cousin of the President of the French Republic , ex-President of the Constituent of Rome . What a mistake and what an encounter ! As all the powder had been used on the arrival of tho Prince de Joinville , a fresh supply had to be procured , which arrived scarcely in time to fire the salute in honour of the King of Hanover .
The Following Circular Has Been Addresse...
The following circular has been addressed by Lord St . Leonard's to the Bankruptcy Commissioners : — " The Lord Chancellor wishes to direct the attention of the Commissioners of the Court of Bankruptcy to the provision in the 10 th section of the Bankrupt Law Consolidation Act , which requires the court to sit daily for the despatch of business . This involves the necessity , on the part of every Commissioner , of residence within a convenient distance of the court ; and the Lord Chancellor trusts that every Commissioner will comply with this condition . " The Lord Chancellor also wishes to draw the attention of the Commissioners to the power given by the 11 th section , to the Lord Chancellor , whenever it shall appear to
him to be expedient , to order any Commissioner to hold sittings at such places within the district as the Lord Chancellor may think fit . This is a power which cannot be exercised without the aid of the Commissioners themselves ; the Lord Chancellor desires , therefore , that whenever a Commissioner is of opinion that unnecessary delay , expense , or inconvenience will be sustained by creditors unless sittings are held at some other than the usual place within the district , such Commissioner will apply to the Lord Chancellor for power to hold such sittings ; and as it is inexpedient that any such sittings should be held without sufficient cause , the Lord Chancellor directs that every such application shall state the grounds upon which it is made . " Sept 25 . " St . Leonard ' s , C . "
