MISCELLANEOUS . A very great change has come o ' er the spirit both of Lord * Derby and Mr . Disraeli , within the last few days , relative to the stability of the Government . The Premier himself was never particularly sanguine as to the duration of his ministry , unless he should bo able to get some new adhesions of important men ; and it is no longer a secret that all his efforts with that $ -iew have signally failed . But Mr . Disraeli was sanguine that the ministry would last . Tic is no longer so . We are enabled to state that the right hon . gentleman has , within the last few days , suffered some expressions to escape him which clearly show that he does not expect to be in office for a period of four weeks after the meeting of Parliament . —Morning Advertiser . "—Fudge !—Morning Herald . Directly the new Parliament opens , petitions will be presented from the following places , praying either for a new election , or that the petitioner may be declared the sitting member : — Cork City . —Colonel Chatterton , petitioner against W . F . Fagan , M . P ., on the grounds of intimidation . Carlow County . —Captain M'Clintock Bunbury , petitioner against John Ball , M . P ., on the grounds of personation of voters . Clare County . —Colonel " Vandcleur , petitioner against Cornelius O'Brien , M . P ., on the grounds of intimidation . Louth County . —Major M'Clintock , petitioner against Tristram Kennedy , M . P ., on the ground of want of qualification . New Ross . —Henry Lambert , petitioner against Charles Gavan Duffy , M . P ., on the ground of intimidation and want of qualification .
Waterford County . —Hon . II . Holy Hutcmnson , petitioner against John Esmonde , M . P ., on the grounds of personation of voters and intimidation . Major Beresford " assisted " , at the gathering of the Hinchf ' ord Agricultural and Conservative Association on Wednesday . Numbers of clergymen were present . Mr . Beresford denied that the Derby Government canic in as Protectionists . They came in to keep out Sir James Graham and Mr . Condon ; to serve the Queen ; and to obstruct Democracy ! He admitted that there was a decided majority against protection , and he thought Ministers had better sing small on that score . He recurred again to the Braintree " rabble , " and attempted to excuse himself for that speech on the ground that he was dreadfully put out , and that after dinner everybody is liable to a slip of the tongue . Nevertheless , be thought that the Braintree folks were to blame ; and that they ought to have heard his speech fairly through .

An instant , not the King of Hanover , but Queen Marie Amelie and the Prince de Joinville disembarked .

The following circular has been addressed by Lord St . Leonard's to the Bankruptcy Commissioners : — " The Lord Chancellor wishes to direct the attention of the Commissioners of the Court of Bankruptcy to the provision in the 10 th section of the Bankrupt Law Consolidation Act , which requires the court to sit daily for the despatch of business . This involves the necessity , on the part of every Commissioner , of residence within a convenient distance of the court ; and the Lord Chancellor trusts that every Commissioner will comply with this condition . " The Lord Chancellor also wishes to draw the attention
of the Commissioners to the power given by the 11 th section to the Lord Chancellor , whenever it shall appear to him to be expedient , to order any Commissioner to hold sittings at such places within the district as the Lord Chancellor may think fit . This is a power which cannot bo exercised without the aid of the Commissioners themselves ; the Lord Chancellor desires , therefore , that whenever a Commissioner is of opinion that unnecessary delay , expense , or inconvenience will be sustained by creditors unless sittings are held at some other than the usual place within the district , such Commissioner will apply to the Lord Chancellor for power to hold such sittings ; and as it is inexpedient that any such sittings should be held without sufficient cause , the Lord Chancellor directs that every such application shall state the grounds upon which it is made .
