Yet , if he have one ambitic ^ jrinore sjieeiaT than another , it is to deserve the title that belonged to the old Kings of France—the " First-born Son of the Church" To deserve this title , he is read y to decree over the minds of the rising youth to the monopoly of the priests—a system that has worked so well at Naples !
Commercial atrophy , mental stagnation , financial paralysis , to this complexion has he brought France within these few weeks . She begins to feel the weight of Napoleonic ideas , and to sigh even for the bavards of Parliamentary institutions . No tribune , no press : but in exchange for both , the will of one man , and that man a Louis Bonaparte !
The unfortunate young man shot by the sentry was , it seems , the son of a rich manufacturer of Elboeuf : —a furious Bonapartist , who on the 4 th of December gave up his house to the soldiers of the coup-d ' etat , that they might kill harmless citizens from the windows ! This man ' s son is shot dead on his way home from a ball , by one of Bonaparte ' s soldiers , to whom merciless orders had been given . Is there any Nemesis here ?
The news from Germany is of expiring Constitutionalism , of court gaieties , and famine-stricken populations . _ Sardinia is again reported to be making advances to Austria ; Lombardy is emigrating ; Naples simulating clemency to half-dead prisoners ; Rome feting the anniversary of the Republic , in the very teeth of the soldiers of the Pope , with salvoes of petards , and Bengal lights , and official proclamations of that " Invisible Government" to which Rome belongs .

The New Ministry. After His Defeat, Lord...
THE NEW MINISTRY . After his defeat , Lord John Russell summoned a Cabinet Coimcil on Saturday , and announced to his colleagues that he intended to resign . As we learn from the Marquis of Lansdowne , there was no opposition ; and Lord John Russell waited on the Queen , Burrendered his appointment , and recommended her Majesty to call to her councils the Earl of Derby . She did bo ; his lordship waited on the Queen , and at once accepted the task of forming a ministry . It is said he had one cut and dried . Be that as it may , Lord Derby waited on Mr . Disraeli ; plans were arranged , bargains concluded , and on Monday the neAV list was submitted to the Queen . It is said that Lord Palmerston was applied to by the Earl of Derby , and that the Earl received a sharp response to a civil message—which wo do not believe . On the other hand , it is as positively stated that Lord Palmerston had not been asked to join the Protectionist Government , which is formed as follows : — IN THE CABINET . First Lord of the Treasury and Prime Minister . . Earl of Derby . Chancellor of tho Exchequer and Leader of the Houso of Commons Mr . Disraeli . Lord Chancellor .... Sir E . Sugden .

The Lords in Waiting will probably be Lords Morton . Lords Verulam . Byron . Galway . Crofton . Shannon . Hawarden . Polwarth . A privy council was held on Friday , when the ministers waited on the Queen , and kissed hands on their appointment .
PARLIAMENTARY " EXPLANATIONS . Both Houses met on Monday , and adjourned until Friday . The proceedings in each wore similar , the point of difference being , that while the Marquis of Lansdowne announced that ho intended to partially retire from public duties , and only made tho faintest allusion to the probabilities of the future , Lord John Russell , recovering his audacity at the . moment ho cast on" his official responsibility , flung forth tho banner of opposition in tho face of Tories and Protectionists .
Lord Lansdowne moved that tho order of tho day for tho appointment of a committee on tho affairs of tho East India Company bo discharged . This was a motion mado for tho purpose of enabling him to speak on tho break-up of tho Russell Cabinet . Ho had instantly and unroluctantly agreed in the course pursued by the lato Premier . He thought cabinets which outlived hearty support and efficiency woro best abolished as evils . Ho had no wish to obstruct tho formation of tho now or any administration under tho present circumstances , " for wo are duly informed , " ho said , " that , independent of that administration which is now being formed , there nro concealed in this country ninny
anonymous administrations— - ( a laugh )—roady to undertuko tho duty of conducting her Majesty ' s affairs , hut too ' modest to muke thomsolves known . " ( Lau ghter . ) He thanked their lordwhips around him for tho warmth and amity of their support ; and their lordships opposed to him for tho " invariable kindness , courtesy , and forbearance" with which thoy had treated him ; and ho hoped that such conduct would always characterize tho proceedings of that House . Lord Malmhisjivky acknowledged tho complimonta in a few words , not vory significant , and tho House adjourned until Friday . The Houso of Commons wiw very fluH wlioa tho
Speaker tp 9 ^> tl |^ icffia , ir ^ iit o ' clock . Lord Ti , Russell a ^ . Mr . ! ' | | sraeir arrived about half-past f sitting respec | ivpf < ja ; the Treasury and Opp Osu- ' benches . After ^ he transaction of some necess , ^ privatebusinefesj . EpwE : John Russell rose amidst ' . found * silencedakaj ! announced that he and his uvf ? ;; cabinet had" r ^ si ^ iea , and that Lord Derby had ? f . pn 4 erst ^ ; be ^ n : qi ^ ed ^ ijio « fenn . a govern ment £ ' l ^ th ^ ^ M ^^^ BaTisdj & wne , he thanked his supporter him
and hist B ^ pporters cheered when he ' boasted ' tit he had so conducted public affairs , both domestic d foreign , as to leav . e . , great branch in a state of wlf ' h they might be at all ashamed ; and when he mentioned in terms of respect the name of the Marquis of La downe as the prop of his cabinet in the House of Lord " cheers rang on both sides of / the .-House .- Turning from the past to a more exciting topic , he threw out a charar .
teristic menace to the new ministers . " With respect to the future , I shall only say that I shall think it my duty to oppose out of office , as I have opposed in office , any restoration of the duty on com—( loud ministerial cheers , with ironical cheers and ' oh oh ' from the . Protectionists)—whether under the nanie of ' Protection' or of ' Revemie ^ I shall also think it mv

' V duty to support an extension of the suffrage— ( ministerial cheers )—to those who are fit to exercise the franchise for the welfare of the country , believing that such extension will add strength and solidity to our parliamentary system . ( Ministerial cheers . ) I will say further ; that I shall always use the little influence which I may possess for the maintenance of the blessings of peace . ( Renewed cheers . )"
In compliance with the wish of Lord Derby , he moved that the House adjourn till Friday . Mr Hume alone addressed the House , trusting that a full explanation of the policy of the new ministry would be given on Friday , an expectation greeted with " JNb , no , " from the Protectionists , and the House adjourned .
Reform Meetings. Rottsed By Lord John's ...
REFORM MEETINGS . Rottsed by Lord John ' small Reform measure , the Wo most active of our metropolitan boroughs , Finsbury and Marylebone , met on Monday : their members were present , and a very numerous audience , both in Storestreet , where Finsbury assembled , and the famous "Vestry Hall" of St . Pancras , where the " men of Marylobone" gathered together . But whenthey had met , of course , by the sudAm resignation of Ministers , the subject of their meeting had 'betx «« M > spectral , ^ vanished . Still there must be some speaJSflgrW constitutional moving of resolutions ; the chief use of which seems to havts been , to show that Finabury is in favour of " manhood suffrage , " while Marylebone will only countenance " extension . " But the two meetings ' were radically dissimilar . Mr . Thomas Slingsby DunCombe presided over Finsbury , and Mr . Churchwarden Baker kept in awe the " men" of Marylebone . Mr . Duncombe treated the sudden flight of the Ministry . as a "little incident /'
and commented rather adversely on Lord Palmerston , asserting that the late-late- Foreign Secretary would have better served his country had he tried to make the Reform Bill " general , " and not " local , " turned out Ministers on that rather than from motives of petty piquo . Moralizing on the fate of motions for reform , which had always left their proposers in a minority , he exclaimed , yet " these people , " voting in that sort of way , were now , here in February , bringing in a bill for parliamentary reform . That was a great
ad-. Matters which [ had threatened tameness grew dramatic as tho action of the meeting advanced . Mr . Moore proposed , in earnest words , a resolution asking for full , fair , and free representation , " old Major Cartwright ' s formula of reform . Mr . Elt seconded him , in amusing , measured , but still earnest woriifl . Was it to ond there ? Certainly not . Universal sutfrago must have its chance . An earnest Chartist rose , and , sceptical about tho proper interpretation of t » bravo old Major ' s formula , nsked whother it mennt tJio Charter P moving , at tho same time , an amcndincM embodying tho " points . " Ho was seconded by unotl 1 ^ earnest man , who , invited to say who ho wan , and w j therefore
ther ho was of Finsbury , answered , No : must not speak . It turned out that ho had somehow Htrayod out of Marylcbono . Somebody pleaded u >» " ho w / ih an Englishman ; " but tho chairman , nfl J »« wan fitting-, could only recognise Finalmrymon . * ^ swooping amendment was put , and said i » bo lost . ^ romovo all doubt , another amendment for " , free ia » Ihood suffrage" was quickly edited , moved , Hcconut , and thin time carried ; Mr . Bozer , a muno not lUWfa ^ thor unknown , uttering quaint sontonces in flupp 01 ' it . Having thus got manhood fluflVago carried w desirable thing , it was further agreed that ft P ° should bo sent to tho House ,, praying for tlio » Mr .
