'NO CHANGE IN THE CRIMEA. ‘The Corn.and Cotton Markets Dull and Declining, to. &o., &o, Haurax, Feb. 14, 1355. ‘The Rosa Mail steamship Asia, Capt. Lott, arrived at ‘his port at half-past one o’clock this morning, and ssiled again at three o’clock, with « southeast wind, for Boston, where she will be due shortly after noon on ‘Thursday. She loft Liverpool on Saturday, the Sd instant, and ver advices are consequently one week later than those received by the steamship Atlantic. ‘The political news is of a highly important character. As was predicted at the departure of the Atlantic, ‘the resignation of Lord John Russell was followed by that of the entire Aberdeen ministry, and up to the Jatest moment no new Cabinet had been constructed. Lord Derby lad been invited by ner Majesty to forms new ministry, but hia efforts were unsuccessful. Aifairs in the Crimea remained in precisely the same condition as last reported, and there had been no fight- ‘Ing of importance. Germanic relations were in as complicated a condition ‘as ever; indeed new difficulties were daily springing up. ‘The Asia passed on the 4th inst. at 11:10 A. M., off Kinsale, steamship City of Manchester, and at P. M. on the same day, the steamship Baltic, both bound to Liverpool. Feb 12, at 7:30 4. M., passed a brig water- logged and abandoned, with only foremast and bowsprit standing, painted greeen inside, ports outside, a red ribbon and full figurehead. ‘The Liverpool cotton market had been dull during the eek, and in some instances a wlight decline in prices is quoted, a5 compared with those current when the Atlan- ‘tic mailed. The week’s business amounted to 37,000 bales. In breadstuffs the transactions had been to a very gnoderate extent, and prices of wheatand four, although not lower, were certainly somewhat easier ani had a doclinicg tendency, India corn had declined 1s. per 480 Iba, ‘The market for provisions was quiet, at aboat previous rater.

No Sighting, but very important diplomatic moves cing on. Prassia checkmates Austria. In thé reswion of the general committee of the Ger- ‘thanic Diet, the propositien of Austria for a general mo- biBzation of the federal army has been rejected, and that of Prussia, to place the contingents only on a war ooting, is carried against Austria, Some anxiety is weltas to what course Austria will pursue under this sheck, whitch prever ts the Emperor of Austria having, «she expected, the command of the federal army. Pro- bably no atep will be taken until after the formation of the new ministry in England, The intelligence of the Austrian defeat caused a dul o® ness in the fends. Prussia is preparing for action. An important des. * patch, dated Berlin, the SIst ultimo, says the Prussian government bas decreed the immediate mobilization of her own army, and the fourth and sixth corps are order- ed to occupy the provinces of Saxony and Selesig. Tho Prussian Despatch, date January 21st, addressed ‘tothe cabinets of London and Paris, states that the re. sult of the last conference at Vienna harmonises with the views of Prussia, Prussia is not informed of thé tenor of the preceding deliberations. She regards the admission of a Prussian representative to the Vienna -eonference aa indispensable to her accession to the treaty. ‘The demand of France thats portion of the French army be allowed to pass through Prussian territory is categorically refused. Denmark bas appointed a military commission to Stace all the Danish forts in o state of defence. ” HE SARDINIAN ALLIANCE. «.e'™ éaties between Engiand, France and Sardinia are published. Surdinia engages to send in English ships 16,000 men to the Crimes, under the command of Sardi- nian generals, and England agrees to lend Sardinia a snillion sterling or two, if wanted,at three per cent, ani Wrance and England together guarantee to protect Sar- nia duriog the present war. A portion of the French army has been detailed to the id of Austria, and it will march through Lombardy, to prove to the Italians the reality of the Austrian alliance with France. The Turkish Ambassador at Vienna bas received plenipotentiary powers to attend the conferense to ba held in that city. THE BI! .E OF SEBABTOPOL. January 10.—It is understood in camp that consid- “sble deviations will be made from the original plans * attack, with the view to take important points of de. ace in the flank and in the reserve. Two divisions of the Freach army will immediately leave their camps on the British left and take up # new position on the British right. The object is partly to stop supplies from reach. ing Sebastopol by the new road which the Russians have wade from Inkermann. A dewpatch from General Canrobert of the 10th, says English have ceded to the French « portion of their +4, namely :—Th» works commanding and destined to etter in the breach of the Malakoff Tower, on which « rious attack will moat probably soon be made. Janvany 11,—A cold, frosty day. A large quantity of warm clothing was recelved in camp, but more is it nd. The Freneh are assisting the British to build hats vod stables. There is some grumbling among the British specting the alleged injustice and partiality of the re- nt brevet, Janwany 12,—Several desertions to the Russians have veen reported. There is nothing doing by the British cept getting up shot, shell and provisions. The French » 14 Russians exchange a few shots, and a constant fire is \ept up by the riflemen. Last night was the coldest yet =perienced. During the might a body of 260 Russians ettacked point on the French lines, when « short con- viet ensued and forty Russians were killed with the bayo- wet. The French force now numbers eight divisions, of "8,000 men, and the ninth division is on the way to the ‘rimea. Jan. 15.—The Russians celebrated their now year’s apy within the city with apparent gayety. At midnight all the chapel bells were ringing. At one o'clock the ‘“ussians within the lines commenced cheering. The vrench, taking ita an insult, opened fire upon the own, The Rassians immediately replied along their whole line of defence by the fererst cannonnade yet ex- perienced; theearth works fashed forth unimterrupte! ‘te me, rapid and unbroken as file Gring, and showed the defences swarming with men. Under cover of the firing « strong party of Russians made 9 sortio on the MORNING the coverlag parties; but on engaged by the regi- mente retired towards the es a Mae es Simultaneously with the attack on the British, a strong vortie was made on the French, the Russians penotrating within the parapet and spiking three mortars, The French rallied and drove back the énomy inside the lines of his advance, and at dsybreak the batteries were all quiet. * JanvaRy 14.—The sanitary condition of the British army is improving. Theestablishment of a central! depot for provisions has much relieved the sufferings of the army. Jax, 15.—There has been a continned fall’ot snow, aud it is now three and a half feet deep. Preparations for a renewal of bombardment are progressing rapidly on the part of the British. Fifty new siege guns, thir teen of the largest mortars and thirteen thourand shot and shell have been brought to the camp. A Polish de. sercer from the Russians has given important informa- tion rep.pecting the range of their batteries. The guns of the ene.¥y have been nearly silent all day. A wove- ment has beex? observed among the Russians, and it is reported that Gecieral Liprandi has received strong rein- forcemente, & Jaxvany 16.—The Russians appeared im considerabie forcr near Balaklava, wis'ch it waa thought they had abandoned, There was e heavy fall of snow to-day, and it is now two feet deep on a level. The 39th British re- giment of infantry have disembarked. The French sre very active in bringing up British powder. There has been no firing to-day. The French batteries are quite silent; the Rugsians ‘scarcely firing a shot, butactive rifle practice continued on both sides. The steamer Simla arrived with four hundred horses. Janvany 10—A despatch in the Paris Patrice announces that fire was almost suspended on both sides. All were seeking shelter fromthe snow. The moral and physica; condition of the besiegers was good, but the horses were auffering from cold. Jancary 20.—A despatch from Prince Menschikoff states that during last night a successful sortie was made against the French centre. Several were made prisoners and many killed. JANUARY 22,—The following report has come via Bu- charest:—Weather very fine, but the British are still sickly. However, abundant supplies, of all kinds, have arrived—shot, shell and clothing, but no houses, There is no progress to report in the siege. The British 30th and 14th regiments are disembarking. The Freuch have undertaken to hold the whole British works. ‘The galvanic apparatus for exploding twenty tons of powder against the sunken ships at Sebastopol has ar- rived at Balaklava, and also the expected corps of divers. It is expected the explosion will damage the foundations of forts Constantine and Alexander. » ” ‘The new Russian defences at Odessa are completed, composed of twenty-seven batteries, and mounting one hundred and ten guns, The fortifications of Kaffa, Avapa, Kertsh and Sujak Pale are being strengthened. THE DANUBE. Omer Pacha has sent in his resignation, because 1s, monel Pasha, appointed to the command of the army at; Roumela, was not placed under his ordera, Large bodies of the Russians were again concentrating in Reni, and Sadyk Pacha has proceeded with all his available troops to that point. The Russians made a reconnoissance from Tultcha, on the 10th and 11th, between the Sulina mouths of the Danube, and somefshirmishing occurred. ‘The St. Petersburg Journal gives an official account of the reeent crossing of the Danube, and describes it as a reconnoissance in force. Letters, however, say it was really an advance of the whole Russian army, which ‘was stopped by orcers from the Russian ambassador at Vienna, to prevent embarrassment to negotiations. ‘The Russians now occupy their previous positions on their own side of the river. Constantinople accounts of the 22d any a change in the Turkish ministry is expected. Affairs are arranged with (Greece, and the Turkish Minister is recalled, ASIA. Scbamyl's existence and continued command is proved by a recent foray of bis near Tiflis; #0 the report of his death is probably false, Kurdistan con- tinues tate of revolt. Accounts from the army at Kors are unchanged. General Guyon has been placed on half pay. The Gear's two sons passed throngh Moscow on the 1éth. Great Britain, IMPORTANT PROCEEDINGS IN THE BRITISH PARLIA- MENT—LORD DERBY UNABLE TO FORM A CABINET —THE BALTIC FLEET ORDERED TO SEA, The week bas been one of anxiety in Eugland. The Atlantic brought London papers of Saturday, 27th, con taining Lord Jobn Russell's explanation of his rerigna- tion; also containing the commencement of the debate on Mr. Roebuck's motion of want of confidence in the Ministry, On the evening of Monday, 30th, Mr, Roebuck's motion ‘was resumed in the House of Commons, namely—‘‘That a select committee be appointed to inquire into the con- ition of thé British army before Sebastopol, and into the conduct of those departments of the government whose duty it b@s been to administer to the wants of that army.’? Messrs. Stafford and Disraeili spoke, when the House divided, 305 for the motion, 148 against {t—majority against government, 157. Whereupon the Ministry re- nigned. Their resignation was accepted, and the Aberdeen Cabinet only hold office until a new Ministry can be formed. ‘On the evening of Tuesday, the 30th, the Queen sent for the Earl of Derby, the leader of the conservative party. On Wednesday, Lord Derby waited on (he Queen, and bad an interview of two bours. When the inter- view was finished, Lord Derby drove in haste to the residence of Lerd Palmerston, where a lengthened con- ference took place, The public have not yet learned what occurred between them, but the general ramor was that Lord Palmerston would not assent to the terms proposed by Lord Derby; consequently the latter was unable to form a sufficiently strong cabinet. Various rumors thea followed, pointing to Lord Palmerston, Lord John Russell, and lastly to Lord Tandsowne, as those who would probably be placed at the head of the ministry. Both houses of Parliament adjourned from Tuesday until Thursday. On re-assembling, Lord Aberdeen briefy anfounced the resignation. The Duke of New- castle entered into an explanation in self-defence. The Earl of Derby informed the House that he had been invited by the Queen to form a Cabinet, but could not do ro, The friends of the Aberdesn ministry are dead againat Lord John Russell for breaking up the coalition by his retirement. The Queen {s reported to have written him an autograph letter cenauring his conduct; but this ia doubtful. No ministry has yet been formed, and gene- rally there is somewhat of public anxiety. The {bill to give effect to the reciprocity treaty was tead a second time in Parliament. The English Baltic fleet is ordered to assemble In the Downs ready for sea the first week in March. Ramor says that Admirals Seymour and Martin will command. Messrs, Watson, Winey & Co. s london houre in the Australian trade, have failed, Iiapilities moderate, Nomerous arrests bave been made at Florence, on the pretext of « revolutionary conspiracy having been dis- covered. Arrests have also been made at Leghorn, be- cause of the sale of Mamein‘an bond: Holland. The Putch Envoy sent to Japan has returned with the assurance that Holland will continue oa the footing of the most favored of nations. The Latest News.

Orders were also reported to ha deen insued for the seizure of the Governors of Matanzas, Puerto Principe, and Trinidad, who are said to be impli- cated in the conspiracy, but of the truth of this report we have our doubts.
