The Emancipation of Brussels states that the following list of a new Ministry is in circulation , but , it says , it cannot guarantee its authority . Finances , M . Liedts ; Interior ^! . Piercot , burgomaster of Liege ; War ^ M . Anoul j Public Works , M . Van Hoorebeke ; Justice , M . Faider ; Foreign Affairs , M . H . Brouckere . The Mbniteur Beige publishes the reply of M . Rogier , to the note of M . Drouyn de Lhuys , of which the substance has been given in the Messenger . The reply
of M . Rogier is of very great length , and is only an amplification of the defence of the Belgian Cabinet , which had already appeared in the Independance of Brussels ; but the . tone , generally speaking , is less conciliatory than the article of the Independance . After answering , seriatim , the different points of the letter of M . Drouyn de Lhuys , and commenting upon the different propositions that had been made in the course of the negotiations , M . Rogier concludes as follows : —
" The Belgian Government did not accept the last proposition of the French Government , because , from the manner in which it was presented , and in which it was to be admitted and executed , it affected , as regards us , considerations , the appreciations of which we could not leave to a foreign Government ; because this proposition changed in our eyes the character and object of the arrangement of the 22 nd of August ; and because , in the new negotiation , no offer was made to place the convention of the 22 nd of August among the elements of this negotiation ; and , finally , because , in claiming the provisional vigour of the convention of 1845 , we were not even given to understand on what bases the future negotiation could be established . " The Court of Sweden has gone into mourning for three months on account of the death of Prince Gustavo
Oscar . His Royal Highness had been ailmg for some time , but was not taken ill till two days after his return from his tour with his illustrious father . Tho report of the physicians is very concise ; they say : — " Tho illness of his lloyal Highness took a sudden and melancholy change for the worse during tho night ; his strength gradually failed , and , after a short struggle , his Royal Highness died in perfect peace at 11 o ' clock in the forenoon . " Prince Gustavo was born on the 18 th of Juno , 1827 , and , consequently , ho was only a : bw months over his 25 th year . He was tho second Jon of King Oscar . All tho royal family were assembled round his deathbed . He died gently and without pain , having boon ill only ten days .

A public meeting of the inhabitants of Stamford-hill , Stoke Newington , and the vicinity , was held last night at the Manor Rooms , Church-street , Stoke Newington , to consider what measures shall be adopted to press upon the Government the necessity of at once proceeding to secure the park for Finsbury . The chair was taken soon after seven o ' clock by Mr . Josiah Wilson , who said that it was of the utmost importance that the inhabitants of Finsbury should impress upon the present Government the advantages which they would derive from carrying out the plan , which had received the sanction of the late Government , for the formation of a park for this populous district .
Mr . Lloyd detailed the steps which had been taken to carry out the projected scheme . He stated that in January , 1850 , he wrote to Prince Albert requesting him to allow the park to bear his royal highness ' s name , and received an answer from the prince to the effect that before he could give any such sanction the scheme must receive a certain degree of public favour and the approbation of the Woods and Forests . In the following March a committee was formed , and shortly afterwards , through the influence of Lord R . Grosvenor and other influential individuals , a public meeting was held , at which a memorial was agreed upon , which was subsequently presented to Sir George Grey and Lord Seymour . The memorial was followed up by various applications , and at length Lord John
Russell gave directions to the Commissioners of Woods and Forests to prepare plans for the formation of the park . These plans were accordingly prepared , and a bill was about to be introduced into Parliament when the disruption of the Government took place , and the affair was brought to a standstill . After the formation of the new Government , a deputation waited on the Earl of Derby , who stated that he and his Government were as willing to carry out the measure as the late Government ; but the great thing was the want of means for so doing . The object of the present meeting was to obtain an expression of the opinion of tho inhabitants of Finsbury in favour of the proposed scheme , and he trusted the meeting would adopt such resolutions as to show the Government that they were earnestly desirous of carrying it into effect . ( Applause . )
Mr . Abbott moved a resolution , expressing the approval of the meeting of the plan proposed by the Lite Government , and regretting that circumstances had arisen to delay its being carried into effect . Tho resolution was seconded by Mr . Marsh , and agreed to . The next resolution , moved by Mr . Porett , stated that every district round London , except Finsbury , was provided with a park , and that the districts of St . Luke ' s , Clorkonwoll , Hoxton , and Shoreditch , which woro but a few years since open fields , were now hemmed in by bricks and mortar , and that the inhabitants had not an aero of ground for amusement or recreation .
Mr . Lloyd seconded tho resolution , and read a lettor from Dr . Conquest , who stated that forty years' experience had enabled him to affirm that a large proportion of the discuses of tho lower classes was to bo traced to tho closeness and impurity inseparable from confined residencea ; many of tho evils of which might bo counteracted by pure air and exercise , which , without n park , were wholly unattainable by persons living in such localities oh those for whoso benefit tho proposed park wns intended . Tho resolution was agreed to .
A resolution , moved by Mr . Lawson , and seconded by Mr . Sandozo , was then adopted , pledging tho mooting to tuko measures to impress upon tho Government tho necoHHity of proceeding to secure tho land forthwith , as the builder was already upon tho ground , ami every month would increase tho expense of the purchase . On tho motion of . Mr . Pottiss , seconded by tho Rov . Mr . Garrott , » committee- was appointed to confer with Lord John Manners on tho subject , and , after n voto of thanks to tho chairman , tho proceedings terminated .

A dinner whh given , on Thursday , at Wolls , to Mr . Tudwuy , M . I ' , for that city . Throo of tho county memberh were prcsont—MoswrB , W . Miles , W . l <\ Khuttihbull , and W . Gore Langton ; also the Wu-y
Reverend the Dean , Dr . Jenkins , and a large number of the clergy and gentry of the vicinity . Mr . W . Bernard presided , and Mr . J . Nicholls occupied the vicechair . In the course of his speech * Mr . William Miles said : — " The country had so far spoken out ; they said that Lord Derby should not be put down till'his proper policy was promulgated . He had asked them to hear that policy , and then be guided by it . It was very often the case with those persons who had taken a first place in politics , that they took occasion to promulgate certain opinions , and every one who was conversant with and read the daily papers must have seen that the former Premier , Lord John Russell , had lately made a speech at Perth , and he neither by letter nor speech indicated the policy he himself intended to pursue . He looked in vain for that policy ; it
was only to give a fair trial to his friend Lord Derby , and to hear from him what would be the line of policy , he intended to adopt . He therefore thought , so far as political foes went , that without any factious opposition from Lord John Russell , Lord Derby would be able to put before the country what really were the views which , if he continued in office , and what the line of policy , he should adopt and endeavour to pursue . That was all they could possibly wish . The ministry were now , it appeared , silent as to that . They were as well able to judge of what that policy might be as himself . Suffice it , that one thing was settled , there could be no more care on the very vexed question which had agitated the country for four or five years—namely , the question of the imposition of a duty on corn . That was for ever settled . Those who were tried and injured by that taxation had to look to other measures than the reimposition of those taxes , for justice .
As for the hero of the day , eschewing " rash" pledges , he confined himself to expressing confidence in Lord Derby . The most important point in the agricultural gatherings of the week is , that everywhere there has been a complaint of a scarcity of labour .
