The issue of the present straggle will involve a radical change in the entire commercial policy of Britain—a change of vastly greater importance to the internal prosperi ty and external relations of the British empire, than either the downfall of religious intolerance, which took place in 1829, or the organic change in the repreeentative machinery which speedily tollowed. _ During the month of November, the wide-spread- ing rumors of scarcity, countenanced by the disease | of the potatoe, and the deficiency of the crops, raised the public expectation for the appearance of an order in council to open the ports. This step was looked tor from week to week, and the frequency | of long protracted cabinet meetings ot a time when the operations of the mimisters are usually suspend- | ed, and when no other conceivable subject could | have engaged their attention, attracted every eye to the don Gazette. Nothing, however, appeared to satisfy the public anxiety or tranquilise the public apprehensions. At length, on the morning of the 4th of December, the public was thunderstruck by one | of those announcements by anticipation of coming events, for which the London Zimes newspaper has rendered itselt conspicuous at several important epochs, and which, more even than the con- summate ability ot its leading articles, or the unpar- alled organization of its foreign correspondence, have contributed to the extraordinary influence o| that paper. The announcement, I reter to, was to the eflect that Parliament would assemble in Janu- ary, and that the repeal of the corn laws would be proposed in the Commons by Sir Robert Peel, and in the Lords, by the Duke of Wellington! The as- tonishment, keen and unmitigated, which this an- nouncement diffused through England, rose to the highest pitch when it was remembered that these very ministers had obtained their present offices by their successful opposition to an attempt of Lord | John Russell and his colleagues, made in 1841, not to repeal the corn monopoly, but only in a small de- gree to relax its rigor. ‘The liberal journals and the free trade patty seem- | ed as though they could scarcely dare to give entire credit to tidings of such overwhelming benefit ; yet the Times making such a public announcement, without having information ot the most positive and | indisputable uuthority. The government papers were literally etupefied! and for nearly two days were unable to make any coherent reply. At length | the Standard gave a formal and strict contradic- | Hon to the statement, pronouncing it to be a ‘ groas | and infamous fabrication of the Times!” To this | the Times condescended no other replication than | to declare that the Standard was a lady so tar ad- | vanced in senility as to render her an aber of com- passion rather than respect, and simply repeated in formal terms its previous ‘announcement, pledging the character of the “ Leading Journal ” for its cor- | reetness, and referring to many tormer occasions in which similar euriy announcements of coming events by the “‘7¥mes,” were met by similar contra- | dictions, and yet the evente came after all. The other London journals, including ever the n Post, the most staunch supporter of the corn monop- oly, gave credence tothe Times, the authorized contradiction of . the. Standard notwithstand- ing. The Globe ingeniously showed that there was nothing really in the announcement of the Times incompatible with the terme of the contradic- tion of the Standard. Meanwhile the commercial world was convulsed ;—corn and the console feil. A surprise, still greater if possible, waa, however, reserved for the public. While every external ¢ vernment, the country was again convulsed on the morning of Thursday, the 1ith, by an authorized announcement in the Herald, that all the ministers | had resigned the day before, and that the Queen had | sent tor Lord John Russell, to commit to him her commands to form a new ministry!!! It after- warda came out that the announcement of the Times was in substance true. That Sir Robert Peel had | declared tor the repeal of the present corn lawe in the cabinet; that he had obtained from his col- leagues a general but most reluctant assent; but that in the eleventh hour this concession had been re- | tracted ; whereupon, on Saturday, the 6th, Sir Ro- bert went to the Isle of Wight, and informed the Queen of the impending tall ot his ministry, where- upon a royal messenger was sent to Ediaburg, to ; summon Lord Johu Russell immediately. The ministry resigned on Wednesday in a body, holding their offices only uatil their successors could be ap- pomted. Lord John received the Queen’s com- mands on Thursday, the Ith, and the public were on tptoe expectation of the result from that day for ward The Queen’s messengers, now placed at the dis- posai ot Lord John Russell, hurried to and tro | through all parts of the Creat to coilect together the scattered elements of the Whigs, and some even tew to Italy with that view. Lord Normanb} ned home trom Florence, and Lord Brough Coronnes. Bat the scenes of the punto: shifting too rapidiy to wait for arrivals from quar- ters 8o remote, After a few days delay Lord John ottered to Sir Robert the support of the Whig op- position, if he would resume office with his asso- ciates, and propose a repeal of the corn. This in- vitation Sir Robert politely declined, the Tories not loving to hold office by the grace of the Whigs. Lord John continued his daily toil at Cabinet-mak- ing for a tew days longer, and a formal and semi- cial announce:nent at length appeared in the Whig journals ot the 18th to the effect that the Cab- inet was happily completed, and that the ministers would attend the Queen on the 20:h, at Windsor, to kiss hands and receive their seals, the retiring Cab- inet attending on the same day to resign them. All was settled. The list of the new Cabinet ministers was published. The Whig underlings were licking their lips at the coming sweets of office. On the morning of the 20th, however, a further surprise — than any yet experienced, was reserved for public. The official organs of the Whigs on that day spread consternation through the ranks of their party, by the astounding announcement that Lord John Russell had waited on the Queen the night betore, and resigned the task of torming a to Windsor, and the evening papers of the same day announced that the old Cabinet was reinstated ! sion of dissolv: @ period of only filteen days. The old Cabinet, with the exception of Lord Stan- ley, has then resumed office. hat the exact in- tentions on the subject of the cereal legislation are, ia kept a profound secret. Ali that is known, or rather whut is admitted by all parties, is that an im- portant change wili be made in the direction of free trade. The liberals fear that a compromise will be | proposed in lieu ‘ot total abolition, or that if total | abolition be admitted, it will be effected by slow | degrees. This, however, will only provoke and | Prolony agitation. Already the league has put forth most formidable demonstrations, and in fact it seems probable that the measure which will be proposed 1s not yet definitively settled, but will depend gen- ther | erally on the popular movement which wiil be de- | veloped between this time and the meeting of par- liament, and partly on the condition of the prices at Mark Jane. ae Ie G The internal condition of France is more tran- | quil, and the public more contented than they have | been at any former epech since the fall of Napoleon. The atrocious tendency to assaseinat ion 60 [requent- ly shown by individuals towards the King, has ceased, and the monarch of the barricades has re- conciled all reasonable people to his sway. It is | true that capitahsts ook with anxiety to the proba- ble consequences of his death. Kven that event, however, is not now regarded as pregnant with any serious danger to the exisung institutions, although @ temporary convulsion in the money market, and | The English journals having put youin possession rights of the country, by peaceable diplomacy, of the result of the political crisis, so far as that re- possible, and if not, by force of arms, for which | In my former letters, I informed you ot the signs | present state of populur feelin: | and tokens which foreboded the political tempest. 1 | $°V¢Tament would be most u | none could acusias for a moment the possibility of al indicoted the utmost activity oa the partol the go- | rounded by all the offic Such was the series of scenic changes—the succes- | new establishment. ig views which were exhibited on | removal to this residence 18 not stated, but it is be- the political stage between the 6th and the 20th Dec., | lieved that — atay is intended to be more than | course, the part of that which refers to Oregon. It is difficult to con- vey to you a clear view of the feeling prevalent on that subject, and if I did convey it, tew America would give credit toit_ The } ritish min- | istry will no doubt annonnce in Parliament the fixed | 117f. 86e.; Northern shares, to 715f.; Orleans, to perfection of detail, thai determination of the government to maintain the | if | mnnjesty will rely on the support of her parliament | her people. Tnis will be responded to by a | jout of acclammation, in which all parties, from gear | eVertiul month, tendered memorable by one of the , the red hot tory to the democratic radical will cor- | then changed most singular ministerial convulsions of which the | !ly join, and the Javer louder and even more en- ergetically than the former. And if, unhappily, a | war shonid ensue, there cin be no doubt in the | in England, that the | u mously supported | In it. Notwithstanding this state of the public mind, no individual can be tound who either | desi war with America, or who believes | such will be the issue ct the Oregon | dispute. If you snlenanieats them elosely, you will | discover that the ground of this universal ‘aith in the continuance of peace, is the general conviction that in the existing commercial relations of the two countries, and still more, in these new relations which must spring out of the proposed modifica- tions of the tarfl on the one side, and the abolition or relaxation ot the cerea [laws on the othér, it is the vital interest ot both nations to preserve pacific relations, and thereby reap that vast harvest of reci- procal good which must result from the rapid ex- tension of their mutual commerce. Another ground ot this reliance on the maintenance of peace, is a Sa e resenios that the bellicose spirit breathed by Mr Polk, 1s not shared by the respectable and intelligent classes of his countrymen, and that he not only will not be supported in ther by Congress, (at least, not by the Senate) but that he does not in his own heart, desire to be supported. In fact, the feeling is, that this warlike demonstration is merely a tub thrown to the whale of the democratic pay: ‘These opinions, on the subject of the possi- pis of war, prevail equa'ly and universally both in England and France. In giving them to you, I merely report what I know, and do not pretead to offer any opinion of ny. own on the question, In the musical world, the two events of the month have been the production of the opera, by Wallace, called “‘Maritane,” at Drury Lane, and the opera by Balte, called “L’Etoile de Seville,” at the Academie de Musique, at Paris. The former has been suc- cessful—the latter a failure. It is, indeed, incom- prehensible how the same genius which produced the “Siege of Rochelle,” and the ‘Bohemian Girl,” should offer to the most critical musical audience in Europe, such vapid and unmeaning noise as this production has proved to be. It has, however, been most maguificently brought out. The dresses and scenery are superb. The ts and other accessories truly splendid. Indeed, but for this, it is hard to conceive that it could have lived the first representation. Farther Extracts from European Papers Received by the + Hiberain.”” Forgign Fxrsux Burr —The Revenue authorities having had under consideration numerous applica- tions requesting that foreign preserved tresh beet, or beef only slightly salted, may be shipped from the bonded warehouses as stores; and being ot Seer that the article in question may be added to the list of stores allowed to be shipped duty free, have issued directions to their officers at the several departments atthis port, and at all the outports of the United Kingdom, to permit the same in future under the usual form end regulations.

Tne Suutan —A letter from Constantinople o! the 10th says:—‘ The festival of the Courban Bai- ram commenced yesterday morning. The Sultany according to custom, slept the night before at the palace of Top Capon, and in the morning went in great pomp to the mosq' of Sultan Ahmed, sur- 3 of state, in their grand ceremonial costumes. The suite ot the Sultan was extremely briiliaa!, and for some time past, whether trom the troops being better dressed and disciplined, or from the preparations being made with greater attention to order, these public ceremonies have es- sumed a character of grandeur and majesty which they did not formerly possess, and consequently they make a deeper impression upon the minds of the peoples The Sultan’s dress was wkat it has al- ways been since the reform He wore a red cap, low in form, with a long silk tassel hanging from it behind, and surmounted in front by a diamond ai- grette. A frock coat, with a straight collar, and buttoned in, front trom top to bottum, tight panta joons with under strapa, white gloves, and highly- varnished leathern boots. Ordinarily the Sultan wore a very full clozk or mantle, wrapped entirely around him ; but this day, the cloak, fastened to the neck with a rich diamond clasp, was suffered to float nea ieee over the shoulders, and thus ex- pose the whole of his person. The Sultan’s demea- nor was excelient. He rode a splendid and gallant horse, which he managed with great ease. He wore on his breast a profusion of diamonds, und by his side a scymitar, or curved sword, suspended irom a girdle, which, as well as the sword, was loaded with precious stones Thas accoutred, he rode with great majrssty at the head of the proces- sion. A kiosk, standing near the gate of the pa- face, through which it was tocome, had been pre- pared for the accommodation of the diplomatic corps and their families. Baron and Baroness dv Bourqueney, Count and Countees Sturmer, the wife of the first secretary of the British embassy, Mrs. Wellesley, were assembled, and attended by Fuad Effendi, chief dragoman of the Porte, who was commissioned to do the honors of the day, which he did with the greatest attention and the best grace. When passing in front of the kiosk, the Suitan turned his face towards it with an expression which showed that he recognized those who were in it, The Sultan Mother, having at her side Mu- rad Effendi, the eldest son of the Sultan, about five years old, and accompanied by several of the ladies of the imperial harem, attended the ceremony in a carriage drawn by four horses, richly caparisoned. From the mosque the Sultan returned to the palace of Top Capon, where he received all the high func- tionaries, who came to congratulate him on the oc casion. This year, to the general satisfaction, the visits which were formerly repeated between the reat officers of state during the four days which the festival lasts, were dispensed with.” ‘Tne Rey.

We are informed that since the | days of Mungo Park, of whom he brings authentic i tion, no traveller has accomplished a journey of such magnitude and interest in that continent ; he reached the latitude of 13 degrees 6 minutes north, longitude 1 degree 3 minutes east, passing through a country hitherto a perfect blank on all our maps, and receiving on his way many proofs of kindness and will trom the native Kings and Cabareers, which may ultimately have the e of checking, if not entirely puiting an end to, the slave-trade in that hotbed of slavery, Dahomey. Mr. Duncan brought with him in safety to the coast, many speci- mens of rare animals and bird: | Tue Man ar tue Hetm.—It is a remarkable fact , that the Fairy steamboat, which took the late Minis- ters to andjfrom the Isle of Wight,was also employed | to convey Lord John Kussell to Osborne house, for | ihe purpose of seeing Her Majesty.

Madame Rossi Caccia is discovered to be the Moone ot Normas by the opera public of Amster- am. Barnard Gregory, editor of the Satirist, has been playing Shylock at the Strand Theatre. Mies Hays has appeared at La Scala, Milan, as Linda di Chamouni, and realiy seems to have pleased, for she has played the character nine nights im successien.

Mr. Braham was assisted ie his sons, Miss Hawes, the Misses Williams, Hobbs and Cubitt, and gave several of his favorite airs withja vigor, earnestness and pathos, which almost led one to eget the eyo Eke that had elapsed since he firet delighted an English andience with his wondrous powers. The programme in- claded some airs from the new opera of “ Marita- na,” several pleasing duets and trios, and a fantasia on the violoncello, by Mr. Lindley. The great at- traction of the concert was, however, Mr. Braham himself, and we were surprised and pleased with the. scuurscy of intonation and flexibility of voice which he still retains. He was encored in several ¢ promising in the high- est degree.

Ia the scenes where reat power was required, she was not so happy as when the tender, devoted, confiding nature was to be exhibited. Her voice, thoi resembling her sister’s, is not very strong—and her manner, though evidently modelled on thai of the elder Miss Cush- man, much more belongs to the gentle than to the impetuous ; but we do not think we have seen the extent of her capabilities yet. At the conclusion, the si-ters were ealled before the curtain, with honest, unteigned enthasiasm, by a crowded audience. Prorgssor Kistey.—This distinguished artist, with his children, has just returned to London trom his continental tour, during which he has been unu- sually successful, and commenced an engagement at the Drury Lane Theatre.

Molique has a new concerto and trio of sterner stuff for hypereritics. To this | add the first appearance of the brothers, the youn, violinists and composers, Helmsberger, the pets of Vienna! The elder is a fellow-pupil of Joachim, but has more matured, by age and experience, a precious talent, that will meke a sensation in Lon- don. Batrg, THE Comrosrr —Mr. Balfe Is but seven- and-twenty, being born in Dublin in 1818. Whea he was seven years old, he performed on the violin some brilliant variations in a concert got upon a charitable occasion. At sixteen he composed his first ballet for the Theatre of La Scala; at eighteen he made his début at the Jtalian Theatre at Paris, as Baryton, under the name of Balfe, and sung in “ It Barbiere” with Mdlle. Sontag, and “ La Ceneren- tola” with Madame Malibran. Within the last few ears he has composed a dozen partitions. It has een often observed that Mr. Balte has been fortu- nate ; he certainly-has always had one good for- tune, that of always being ready when others are not. evening the e dramatized Paris and London Fashions.

A handful of singers paid a sort of homage to Schubert, on the 19%h ot November, by singlng some of the master’s compositions before the gate ot the cemetery at Wuhring, where he was interred hard by Beethoven and the Ritter Von Sevried. It is incomceivabie, that so rich as we are in En- Pees songstresses, (counting Madame Thillon, Ma- lame Albertazzi, and Miss Hayes among the num- ber) we should never hear of wandering tenor, © baritone, or bass, coming home from stage practice in Italy, to do his part in raising the tone of popular taste ornative muaic here. At Amsterdam, on the 10th, Madame Kamphuijzeo, an actress who hus been during fifty years engaged in the so called “Dutch Thea‘re” (the national one) took her farewell benefit inthe partof Maria Stew- art, in the tragedy of that name. The theatre was crowded to overflowing, and the reception given to the aged but still talented tragic actress, (now more than seventy years old) was euthinsiatic. We understand that Miss Anne Romer, a cousin of the celebrated vocalist of that name, 1s shortly (o make her debut as a singer, in a concert about to be iven here. A friend who has heard her sing at fier father’s house, anticipates that her performances will do justice to Sir Henry Biahop and Signor Cri- velli, by whom her musical studies have been con ducted ; and that she will prove to be no incousider- able addition to the number of highly talented indi- viduals who may claim Liverpool as their birth lace f It is intended to erect a new theatre on the vacant space on the eastern side of the Leicester Square, London.

The versel in which Mr. Harvey and his company of comedians proceeded from Guernsey for Exeter, and whose non-arrival at the latter place in due course excited so much alarm for their safety, is re- ported as having got into safe harbor at Lyme Re- ig, and to have proceeded on her destinauon with Fer passengers and freight, all well, on Monday morning. Miss Cusuman made her appearance at the Hay- market Theatre last night with her sister, Mies Susan Cushman, who had not previously rected in this country. They played in the characters of Romeo and Juliet, notin the ordinary acting wagedy with which David Garrick favered the world, but in the tragedy as written by Shakspeare. Our readers need not be informed that the chef difference be- tween Shakspeare’s play and Garrick’s adaptation, is that, in the former work, Romeo is represented as in love with Rosaline betore he sees Juliet, and that in the last scene he dies before Juliet awakes trom her trance, instead of expiring at the end of a long dialogue. a It is enough to say that the Romeo of Miss Cush- man is far superior to any Romeo that has been seen for years. The distinction is not one of de- gtee, itis one of kind. For along time Romeo has | been a conventiun. Miss Cushman’s Romeo is creative, a living, breathing, animated, Sifeat bh man being. The memoi of play-goers will call u asacoliection of speeches delivered wi more or less eloquence, not as an individual. Miss Cushman has given the vivifying ‘k, whereby the fragments are kmit together, and become an or- ganized entirety. She initiates us into the tempera- ment of her hero, and in this respect the restoration of the allusions to Rosaline is particularly valuable. She disclosed that ardent passionate disposition, that waited but for the opportunity te break forth with irresistible violence, so thut the first scenes contain- ed the whole possibility of the tragedy. They pre- red the way for those passionate breathings cf Jove that rendered the interviews with Juliet so re- markable. The short gallant speeches at the ball were delivered with the rest spirit of carnest- ness, as though nct a word should iall without kind- ling d teeling in the heart of the fair hearer. The garden scene was an inspiration, an impetuous out- pouring of devotion, here and there delicately tem- pered by the opposite quality of a shrinking rever- ence. {t was no fine speech-maker, no stage-lover, no victim to maudlin sentiment, but an impetuous youth, whose whole soul was absorbed in one strong emotion, and whose lips must speak, the inspiration of his heart. The indignation with which Romeo tushed On Tybalt, after the death of Mercutio, was another expressiog ot thas same quick, sensitive temperament.
