CHEERFUL AND INSTRUCTIVE FIRESIDE COMPANION . TirE WELCOME GUKST OF EVERY HOME ! fTIIIE FAMILY HERALD is not only the cheapest but J _ the most popular and amusing literary Miscellany ever published . It is a compilation of Wit , Humour , Fiction , Truth , and Knowledge , adapted for all classes , tastes , and ages , grave or gay , rich or poor , and contains something of everything , facts and philosophy for Gentlemen , hints and entertainment for Ladies , questions and problems for Youth ; interesting Tales ; extraordinary Adventures ; wonderful Xaratires ; remarkable Events ; moral , familiar , and historical Essays ; select Poetry ; instructive Biographies ; comic Sketches ; amusing Allegories ; the wisest Sayings of the wisest Men ; useful Advice for Self-iuiprovement ; salutary Cautious ; scientific Discoveries ; New Inventions ; Hints to Housekeepers ; Practical Recipes ; diverting Sports and Pastimes ; ingenious Puzzles and Riddles ; facetious Sayings , Jokes , ke ., affording harmless and profitable recreation for all the members of : i family . The objections usually made to cheap publications are not at all applicable to the FAMILY HERALD , its distinguishing feature being , that it contains nothing whatever to offend the most delicate sensibility . A publication like this , combining mirth witli propriety , utility with economy , and wisdom with cheerfulness , was long wanted—that want is now supplied , the relish of amusement is conveyed into the bread of instruction in n manner which has united all opinions , and will obtain for it a place ou every parlour table . Tlie best proof that its attraction has been considerable and the ajiprobation general , is llic fact that , in the course of a few mouths , the FAMILY HERALD , has becomu the most extensively circulated of the English periodicals —a universal favourite . Tllis is just the kind of publication for employing agreeably and usefully those odd live and ten minutes of leisure which some foolish people waste throughout their lives - , its variety prevents the possibility of being tired , whilst it enables one to take it up an / 1 lay it down at any minute . It is precisely the thing For a Winter ' s Evening —a book to read and ponder 011—not to look ivt . A cotemporary iu reviewing this popular magazine says . — "His certakdj' a well selected miscellany of most entertainingand instructive residing . We warmly recommend The FariiUy Herald . It is—what we . can say of so few-ot the cheap periodicals now-a-days—it is a safe book to admit within the sacred precincts of the family circle . " Tlie new Part contains a remarkably interesting Historical Romance , one of the best ever written , entitled the CHALLENGE OF JBARLETTA , a gem gathered ; from the jewelled mines-of Italian fiction . The present ; is therefore a favourable opportunity to commence taking ! in the work . . ' ThePublicare earnestly solicited to IM A SINGLE ^ JfU . MBER of tllis popular Fireside Companion . One perusal will be sufficient to . test its merits . The boun'l-veillimes are admirably adapted for Christmas Presents .

FORMATION OF A COALITION MINISTRY . We stop the press to announce the cheering intelligence . Lord John Russell , failing in his endeavour to form a pure Whig administration , was compelled to fall back upon the democratic party , and we have received the following communication , upon which the public may implicitly rely , as the result . Last night , upon the return of Lords John Russell and Lansdownefrom Windsor , where they had a long interview with her- Majesty , a circular of which the following is a copy , was sent to the several persons whose aid was required to form a coalition ministry , to meet at twelve o ' clock at
THE CAT AND BAGPIPES , Cato-street , when the formation of the following ministry was the result of the deliberation . " Sir , —Your immediate presence at the Cat ; and Bagpipes , Cato-street , is requested . " l ' our obedient Servant , " J . Russell . " First Lord of the Treasury—Colonel Sibthorpe . Lord Hig h Chancellor—J . A . Roebuck . Lord President of the Council-J . Brotherton .

Londonderry . President of the Board of Trade—Daniel \ V . Harvey Secretarv of War—Joseph Pease . Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster—Lord Adol plius Fitz-Clarence . NOT OF THE CABINET . __ Lord Lieutenant of Ireland—Tom Steele . !" . H Lord Channcellor of Ireland—Mr . Ballanti . Secretary of State for Ireland—Sir R . H . Inglis . Paymaster General , and Treasurer of the Navy-Sir Valentine Blake . - J Master General of Ordnance—John Bright . Post Master General—Sir James Graham . Master of the Mint , &c—Ikey Solomons .

We were not imbued with , the same reliance upon Whiggery which led its > adherents to . an easy belFei in the power- of that party to form an administration , while we were fully impressed with the awkward position in which the manifesto of Lord John Russell would place Sir Robert Feel . Very cavly in
the contest , we announced the impossibility of patching up an occaeional Ministry out . of the fragmentsof tfvorn-out Whiggerv . The times ; and circumstances . in which they have hoped once mare to clutcJi office from the chanoe presented by famine , are not of their creation , cor are they the -party to control the one , or goverai the other . The public mind of this . country has made a bound witbiu this last five years that will render it difficult for « ny administration -, to keep it within the limits of party .
The breaking up . of any government , and especially ofiso strong a one . as that of Sir Roam Peel , of itself inspires new hqpe , leads to new action , ami requires . new men , or jnen who are susceptible of new impressions at such a crisis . The altered circumstances in which the country now finds itself are mainlj : . . if not wholly , ; attributable to Sir Robert Peel . His legislation cannot be judged by . one isolated measure , or by one portion of his policy ; all his measures , and the wbole . of his policy , must be reviewed at one . and the same . time ; and as well may the Duke of Wellington have said to an inferior
officer on the ece of the battle . of Waterloo , " her , e is im / plan , such tejny policy , I resign the command of the , oomhined forces to you—winithe battle , " as that Lord . Jons Russei& should now take the command of Sir Eobeut Peel ' s measures and ids policy , with the same prospect of success that Sir Robert Peel had a right toanticipate ; but not with the same strength of forces . that Sir Rought Peel commanded . Let us for a moment presume , an impossibility—tliat Lord John Russell could indiiee the Commons to repeal
tlie Corn La . ws : —if he had got so far hza difficulties would have only just commenced , and we know that the Noble Lobs , during that period when Whiggery was strongest , avoided as musb . as possible any collision with the House of Locds . Upon the other JStand , let us prcsuaie that Lord John Russeix has recourse to a dissolution of Parliament , if beaten in the Commons ., The cesult of suck an experiment , at the present moment , would be an increased majority agaisst the measure ; au 4 the inevitable appointment of a Protectionist administration wouW be the
consequents . To one of three conclusions we must come . Either that the country wijl back Lerd John Rcssell , and overawe both Lords and Comnwns as it did in 1832 , . or that the protectionists , erc&oldened by public apathy , will consider themselves warranted in resisting what , in such eases , would appear as the mere clamouringof a party ; or , what iss'tiiUjnore probable , that a strong manifestation of public opinion would induce the protectionists to preserve thai portion of their property which would not destroy their position in society , rather than hazard all ibr a mere temporary triumph of party over the people . In the latter case they would recal Sir Robert Peei , and this , we believe , would give the greatest amount of
public satisfaction . In any case we hold it to be an impossibility for any government to repeal the Core ; Laws without the aid of such aa adjustment as of itself must derange society , and must be followed not only by new laws , but by & completely altered system . It must not be lost sighi . of that the free trade party is mainly composed of enthusiastic expectants , some of whom base their notions upon the slight loss to the revenue , and others who base * their opinion upon great gain to self . We would remind the first class of free traders , that it matters not Tvhat the amount of revenue may be that is produced by the Corn Laws , whether a hundred thousand pounds ol £ million , cither sum constitutes the standard by which the great scale of fiction throughout all social ail'd mercantile arrangements is regulated . It re-

gulates the price of wages , it re gulates the money price ^ of every article in use , i * < , regulates the rate of salaries ' , the rate of taxatioY ,, the rate of interest on fundeddebt , 'the rate Of land , the rate of payto soldiers , sailors ; and policemen ; vnd , once disturb the base of fiction , siadthfl whole superstructure must inevitably tumble to the ground . While otters have been theorising and speculating upon theineasure , we have been arguing it precisely as all sane minds now begin to view it . We have called attention over and over again to the fact , that however properly adjustment may hereafter grow out
of chaos , that unless that adjustment preceded the change , chaos must assuredly come . If the Tory landlords of England ever do consent to a repeal of the Corn Laws , it will not be under the administration of a party who would create confusion first , and then trust to the chapter of accidents that order might result from chaos . The landlords must be dull indeed , if they have not observed the move of Sir Robert Pkel towards the necessary adjustment . His tariff of 1811 ; his Canadian Bill , nay , foolish
as it may appear , the presentation of a bull to his tenants , the permission to kill game on his estates , the calling together of practical agriculturalists for the purpose of conference , wore of themselves , one and all , hints from which the landlords must have drawn the conclusion , that the Corn Laws were doomed ; and that they should put their house in order for the event ; while the reduction of interest upon the funds was a significant hint of the adjustment by which Sir Robert Peel hoped to preserve the same position in society for the landlords ,
under altered circumstances . We would remind those parties who whimsically anticipate great gain from the repeal of the Corn Laws , that from their anticipated profit must be deducted the means of equalising society ; as from their arguments one would suppose that there was to be a general scramble , and that they were to have the selection of the best standing room . Such a result , however , would not meet even Lord Jon » Russell ' s notions of adjustment . Sir Robert Peel , who is a shrewd man , must have calculated upon the necessity of getting vid of tUe refractory of his cabinet before
he jeopardized the peace of the country by so hasty a resignation and he is therefore bound to repair the damage , and to make good the breach . It is folly to suppose that the men , whom public opinion has stamped with infamy and branded with reprobation , can realise those hopes of progression now so universally entertained ; and yet we learn that the motley Whigs , of all things dread the infusion of democratic blood ; and to such a calamity they would prefer a compromise with their old opponents . This was the rock upon which Whiggery split before ; and the vessel is not stronger now to bear the shock that shattered it in 1841 .
If Lord John Russell was a man for the iimes he would have formed such a cabinet in forty-eight hours as would have carried out the spirit of his manifesto . If bread is necessary , why stand upon the brink ? Why hesitate , if Ireland is threatened with famine ? And if Lord John Russell has ascertained the fact , as we believe he has , that foreign aid is necessary in such an emergency , and after the Queek , cognizant of his intention , had entrusted him with her confidence , why did he not open the ports ? and trust to an indemnity which a starving people would have forced from a pampered aristocracy . It is evident that he is afraid of his own thunder , and that he has merely used the God-send of famine as a
atepping-atone to power . Peel hau not declared for a repeal of the Corn Laws—Russell had ; therefore , what in Peel may be virtue . and consistency , in Russell is weakness and hypocrisy . We believe , in the present state of the public mind , that the whole people of this country would bear any infliction rather than again submit to the tyrant rale of a pure Tory administration , and we feel convinced that their apathy alone can lead to so horrible an infliction . Perhaps Feel relied upon more excitement than has
been evinced upon his resignation ; but if he is disappointed upon the one hand , he may console himself upon the other with the reflection that the Whigs could not have insured one day's tranquillity without the existence of a government . It is a bitter pill to have but the poor choice of swallowing , Russell or the Duke ; and yet we arc prepared for the alternative , because the country ' s good demands it , because the necessity of the times requires it ; but we would infinitely prefer Peel to either or both .

THE MINISTERIAL GRISTS . [ Prom the Globe of Thursday evening , l > ec . IStli , ] We regret that we aro not yet able to relieve the public anxiety with respect to the one great question which now iiils every mind and occupies every tongue . Lord John Russell and the Marquis of Lansdoinic arrived in town from Windsor about two o'clock , and were shortly afterwards joined by several of the leading members of the Whig party . Nothing has as yet transpired as to the course , which Lord John Hussell has decided on taking ; but it is stilt reported that the result will be an administration of which his lordship will be the Chief . Theconduct of die retiring Ministry seems to strengthen this impression . Extraordinary activity has been cut . tiseil in all the government offices in providing placus for expectants , by pensioning off the present occupants wherever a decent excuse for doing so could be set im This has been the ense from the Lord Chancellor to t ||{ lowest official who had any place at his disposal .
[ From the third edition of the Snn of Thursday evening . ? Lord John Russell went to Windsor at eight o ' clock last evening-, accompanied by the Marquis of Lausdownv . 11 was generally understood that the visit of the Xoblo Lords was by the special command of her Msijcsty , and had reference to a communication made by Sir Uoltrt Peel in the course of the day , that HE was «; i «! , ;« ( Orc . conslrwil Jiis Ministry if Lord John Russell should not accept office . Lord John Russell returned to Chesham-plnce tllis morning , at twelve o ' clock . He was there met by tlie majority of the friends with whom he has been in commuiii . cation for the last few days . A messenger was forthwith dispatched for Lord Cottenham to Putney . The ex-Lord Chancellor siieiililv arrived , and until a quarter past three the whole i > arivrt . inaiued in consultation . Lord John Russell left shortly after that time for the Great Western Railway , cu route to Windsor .
A Queen ' s musseuger has been in attendance to convey dispatches to her Majesty , but the Noble Lord carried li own message .

THE MINISTERIAL CRISIS . [ El'om the Morning Herald oi' Eviday , Dae . 11 ] We stated yesterday that the whole Cabinet had resigned . Such is the fact ; the whole of the Conservative Cabinet goes out together , and , we have no doubt , will adhere to the Conservative party . Whatever Sir Robert Peel ' s opinion upon the subject of the Corn Laws , the country may lie well assured that he nerer did nropoacj and in office or out of office never will either propose or support any change in the Corn Laws , unaccompanied by what he believes to be full compensation to the landed interest through all its gradations , Whence that full
compensation is to be obtained we arc utterly at a loss to conjecture , but it is no more than an act ol justice to the lute Pmniet , as wa suppose we umy cull him now , to repeat it , that he necer did propose , as the infamous fabrication of the Times asserted , an unqualified and total repeal of the Corn Laws . Nor , as we firmly believe , will he over propose or support any such measure . This is most important , because whatever difference has existed in tiie Cabinet has bixn merely a diliurence in degree and not in species , and therefore cannot extend to the Conservative party in cither house of Parliament .
Lord John ltusseil has been summoned by the Queen , and is now in attendance upon her Majesty ns her confidential adviser . And who is lord Jo'tn Russell ? A party to the Lichflold House compact—one who has within these last few diiys pledged himself by a public document to concede all thu most extravagant demands of tho Anti-Corn-Law League ; and , hear it you opponents ol the MaynootU grant , one of the party most solemnly pledged to extinguish the l ' rotcstant Church in Ireland , and to establish the Roman Catholic Church in that great division of the United Kingdom . Let Conservatives think *> t this in time—and they have but little time to think oi it—for whether Parliament be dissolved or not , the work of lluiu will probably commence with the iirst weekol February ,
[ From the Morning Chronicle of Friday , Dec . 12 . ] The only facts upon which reliance can be placed with respect to the ministerial crisis arc these : — At the time the story was published last week respecting " tlie decision of the Cabinet , " the Cabinet was virtually dissolved . They had indeed eoniu to a decision , but it is now understood it was a decision to resign . On Saturday Sir liobert Peel went to Osborne House , und communicated this event to her Miijust . y , and on Saturday evening a messenger was scut to Loi d John llusscll to Edinburgh . Her Majesty ' s commands were received bv tiie noble lord on Monday morning :, mid he arrived in town , on ¦ Wednesday eveuiug .
Yesterday morning Lord John ltusseil left town fov Osbome House , having had an interview , it is said , widi Sir Robert Peel before his departure . His lordship remained at Osborne House last night , and is expected iu town to-day at one o ' clock . It is understood that before his departure Lord John Russell addressed couiniunioatuins to several of . iis law colleagues , wily one of whom , we believe , Mr . Baring , happened to be in London .
It is superfluous to say that , under these circum stances , all rumours as to ministerial arrangements ' may be considered as altogether unfounded .

BID AGAIN , LORD JOHN ! ! ! Since we last wrote under this head , Lord Jons Russell' has been placed in a situation that enables him to bid fairly for the only power that can sustain him in the struggle . The organs of Whiggery , in order to enlist recruits for one particular service , arc damaging the "Whigs more than they are serving them . Their policy , once more , is to deceive the aristocracy by an assurance of the little that Lord Joh * Eusskll will attempt to effect beyond a mere repeal of the Corn Laws ; and to this fact , in a great measure , is to be attributed that popular apathy which prevails throughout the country , as far as Lord John Russell is concerned . True , there is an
excitemeat in tlie manufacturing districts ; but that excitement arises from the dread of old Toryism , rather than any love of Whiggery . There must be a dcep-i ; ooted hatred of pui « Tory principles in the country , when the working ^ elasses can be brought to tolerate their old oppressors , and to mitigate their hostility . to the League , ftevei'tueless , so it is , and , for ourselves , we are pleased to see it ; because , from it we leamihe glad tidings thai , at length , Toryism is doomed , And must perish . And as we have often declared that the existence of three political parties in the State is incompatible with the existence of " peace , law , and order , " we rejoice at the opportunity that now presents itself of . destroying one of those parties , . and thereby confining our future struggles to the oppressors and the oppressed .
We havo no other anticipation than that the hatred of Whiggery , made now more manifest by tlie impossibility of that party forming an administration , will lead to one of two results—either the restoration of Fjjel , or the supremacy of a pure , unmitigated Tory faction . Should the country be cursed with the latter alternative , we believe , in our conscience , that Ireland would vise as one man , while England and Scotland would not look tamely on at the scene oi confusion . that must follow . A Whig government may govern Ireland by conferring patronage upon the Irish people . Sir Robert Pjjel , with one exception ,
has governed Ireland by attempting to do justice to all ; while the Tory administration would look to their Tory brethren as their greatest strength . The foundation of the great changes made by Sir Robert Peel will be ripped up , and the Wl-luh ' uioss , the WiNciuasEAS , the Bcckinohams , the Inglib' , the M'Niels , and the Magees , would once more establish in its place the temple of Protestant ascendancy . While we highly approve of Mr . O'Connell ' s not consenting to surrender the . Repeal question , or to put it in abeyance , we must dispute his
policy in making , the single .. question , of a repeal of the Corn Lawe the condition of the restoration of the Whigs to power . Does he not see that the bitter foe of England , Ireland , Scotland , and the ft'orld , is in the field , and does he not sufficiently un . dei'stand their tactics to know that no stone will be left unturned to secure their supremacy ? And does he not further know that there is not sufficient ciiarni Jn the name of Whiggery to arouse the public mind to the extent necessary to save us from tkc tender mercies of Toryism ?
"After * storm comes a calm , " and we would caution all parties who are now bidding for power againsttbe dangers of reaction . We cannot undertake to say how the announcement of a Tory administrati on would be received either by Sir Robert Pkel or Lord JohnRusseix ; hut this we do know , that it would be taken by the people as a declaration of war ; nor do we rightly gee our way out of that la byrinth into which the resignation of Sir Robert Peel has led us . The resistance' of fcjie landed aristoiiWt ° P of the Corn L ' . wb is not to be ineasit fed i > y tlie feeble resistance the / ofed'to the

Reform Bill . In the one case they found perfect protection for what they now possess in the Chandos clause , and ' their majority in tho Lords , while"in ' the other ' case they will calculate that the repeal of the Corn Laws is but ' the beginning of the end . In the one case they-could estimate their loss with arithmetical precision , in the other case there is no scale by which they can measure their loss or tkeir danger . We are sorry to be prophets when we foretell evil , but we adhere to our prophecy , a thousand times repeated , that the landlords of this country will hazard revolution rather than surrender the Corn Laws .
The danger that we have ever ascribed to the change we still see . It is . the long period of confusion that must precede the settlement of the measure . We have asserted , and reasonably , that if the price of bread does not fall , the measure fails in its effect . If it does fall wheat must fall ; and if wheat falls , land , that produces it , must fall , and the free traders must not "lay the flattering unction to their souls , " that the landlords who have so long lived upon tlie plunder will not be able to estimate its loss . We believe that a repeal of the Corn Laws would be followed by a tremendous fall in rents , until the question was finally settled ; while we also believe that , when settled , agriculture would progress with ten-fold rapidity . Why , then , do we dread the chaos ,
if so much good Is to be the result ? We dread It , because the parties , who anticipate the greatest benefit from the change , would be able to live in idleness as spectators during the struggle ; while those who would ibe the immediate sufferers aro unable to sustain a single week of idleness ; and yet , strange to say , notwithstanding tho many phantoms that a storm presents to our minds , we would bear them all with resignation rather than witness the ascendancy of a pure Tory government , or hear the howl of hunger ringing through this sea-bound dun- < geon . Therefore , if hunger does threaten us , and if the monster can be stayed in his march , and if there is still a greater mouster ready to tako . advantage of the calamity , we say
" Bid again , Lord John , " and , if you are not afraid of your own thunder , arrest the famine , and Stay the monster ' s hand , by calling the people , instead of their oppressors , to your aid . Holy upon popular support , or depend upon it you will march out of office as quickly as you marched in , and a defeat now would seal the doom of you and Whiggery for ever .
