They were the following: The Duke of Wellington, Lorii Lyndhurst, the ivirl of Aberdeen, Lore Ellen bo rough, Lord Stanley, Sir James Graham, Mr. Goulbum, and S:r Henry Hardinge. On the following day I waited ot her iMajesty, and. submitted those names for her approval, and, at the same time stated 10 her Majesty that, while the Duk< of Wellington placed his services entirely at her Majesty's disposal, his own inclination would be more gratified ifho were permittcu to hold a place in 'he Cabinet, without office, he taking the lead in the House of Lords, (as the right honorable baronet was unJers'o.uI io say.) Her Majesty expressed a j-aiiieuiar wi.sh that the Duke ol Well in g;oa should hold some important office. [1 Liar J I tolvt her Majesty taut I should, of course, **' - ?-? - lir convey her wis!) io lac uuuic uutw, ???. msame time assuring her Majesty that I had no dv?uht he would readily forego any private inrl nation of his own and consent tc take a?i> office, however important, at hci Majesty's wish. [Hear, hear.] No question arose up to this time, ei:hc r as lj t!u forma'ion of the government, or us to i-j conduct, on which I feci it necessary to remark. Her Majesty conceded at once without reserve, ail that could ho wishedoi expected as fir as related to offices in the household fiileJ by noblemen or gentlemen holding seats in this or the other House o! Parliament. The difficulty related altogether to the situations in the household filled by Indies. In refcrrence to this point, J think it much b< tter, en mature consideration, that I should, in the first instance, enter into no statements as to impressions ol what passed, but thai I should confine mym what actually did pass.? Because if I were here to slate impressions. I sliculJ be staling only those which wen my own, and arising from communica ions that passed where two parties only were presen', and I must bear in mind that 1 alone am here to tell them. [Hear, hear ] On the Wednesday evening, then, 1 had an opportunity of consulting at my own house with those friends whose names 1 was to present to her Majesty's approval or the next day. I stated to them?and then are now four of them present, who henro what passed?they are, my noble friend the member for North Lancashire, (Lord Stanley.) my riitht honorabe friend themembet for the Cambridge Universiy, (Mr. Gouh burn, and mv ri jht honor able friend th< member of Pembroke, (Sir J. Graham,] and my right honorable and gallant friend tne member for Lauriceston; (Sir CI. Hur dingo,)?I stated to them, and to the othei friends already named, the course which 1 intended to take with respect to the housebold. In fact, before this I had very little considered lite lioust-hold, and had very lit. tie information respecting it. I now speafc of tha portion of its offices which were hel< by ladies. I took the ReJ Book, and then saw the several departments of the housebold*. ' i ? . I I said !o tnose wno were micnueu 10 oc my feature colleagues, that, with respect tc ali those ladies of the household who were no change to her Majesty, [Cheers from tit* Opposition benches;] but with respect t< the superior class of ladies holding office, I expressed a hope thai those of them v\h< were in immediate connexion with my po litical opponents would immediately relieve the new government from any further trouble on the question by voluntarily resigning.? [Loud Cheering on the Opposition side oj the House.] At the same time I stated tha I did think it of much importance, as con vcying ac intimation of her Majesty's cn fire confidence and support, that some change should be made with respect tc some of the higher offices of the household filled by ladies, and I did express the name* of the ladies of the bedchamber. I said tha; even in some instances of these, where there was not any strong political connexion, I did not think any change would hi necessary. This passed on the Wednesday evening, and 1 mention it merely as an in dieati??n of my willingness that any blami aris ng from any imperfection of my expla nation, or Iroin any misconception as to tha explanation, should attach to me only. ] saw her M tjes y on the Thursday?anc here I repeat, I shall confine myself, unlcs: pressed to u, io the letters that passed b< twoen her majesty and me Early on th< Friday morning.

[communicated.] The Cotton Circular.?Asthisdocumen nnouncing that an advance would be mad n Cotton shipped to Messrs. Humpreys d hddle, at Liverpool, will probably excit sine sensation on the other side ot the wa :r, a brief explanation of its purpose an ndency is deemed important to all the par es interested. In the first place, it is conceived that a ombinations to depress or eminence th rices of our great American staple in op osition to the laws of trade, founded " i apply or demand, must in the long ru e pernicious. Free trade implies an ope ompo'ifion on both sid?js, which, under or nary circumstances, would regulate com icrce more equitably than any human cal ula;ion. But anxious in political econonr re not as absolu'e as a trutli in mathemat :s. An extraordinary crisis may presen n occasio i for a departure from the usur iws of trade. When i; is obviously apparent that a pow rful combination exists one side to viola: io laws, by depressing the price of this sta !e in the face of an ascertained and unpre ( dented deficiency of supply?does it nr ecome justifiable and necessary to mec uch combination bv measures adapted t tat end ? Now we believe that such a ombina ion exists among the manufacture f England?in proof of which wo refer t to subjoined circular issued by forty fiv f the stunners and Manufactures in Eng md. Fur such a combination, fiom th >cal concentration of the manufacture! ley enjoy extraordinary facilities, wiiil ro lucers, shippers and hoi !ers of our sta !e, from their dispersion, are almost en:ir / deprived of the means of protective assc iation. We rom<\ however, to the more practicr lquiry, were the recent prices of cottor diich the ma ufacturers have combined r epress, the result of natural or artifieh aus'-s ? ^ The extraordinary deficiency of the col in crop is a conclusive answer to this ques on* It is now ascertained that the cropcannc ossib'v exceed 1.350.000 hales, being up rard of 400,000 bales I' ss than the crop c ist year. Now let it be remembered that fo vo or three years preceding the crisis c 837, the prices of cotton ranged consider bly higher than tlioy have been within th ist twelve month?, without producing an heck on consumption, whicn on the con pary, kep* place with the unceasing pro action. In fact the consumption of 183' i believed to have receded the entire pro uc ion of 1838. What great advers' hinge has t iken place in the means am rants of Europe to cause a smaller consump on in 1839, thnn that which took place n 836 at higher average prices ? The high price of gruin in England, am to exportation of gold, to pay for the im ortations from the Continent, undoub ed1 md to increase the cost of producing Bril ?h manufactures. But what England lose lie Continen: gains by this operation, an s certain as the flux and reflux of the tides i a snort time tins ou.lon will now duck I England, for the purchase of tw ist and mar ifactured goods. The proposed advance on, and consf [uent retention for, a time from the marke if the residue of the crop in this country i lesfgned to meet this favorable return c rade. We therefore contend, if the manufactui rs were even free from the charge of a QJ ombinaiion to depress the pastor preser rices of cotton the measures which hav esorted to in the face of a crop, the mo? ieficient that has ever been made in th Jnited States, would find their justificatio i ;he soundest considerations of policy. ] ? in fact nothing more nor less than prever ing undue supplies being thrown on a lan uid market, when a returning and aup n?>r? p/1 rnnsnmnfion. is at hand, nromisin fair remuneration to :ho manufacturer, pre ucer and shipper of our great staple. To permit the 000,000 bales of the sui ilus of cotton on both sides of tho water, o ftucb 15 cfs. may have been paid or ad anc?'J, to be sucr.ficed at a loss to thi oun ry of some t<n or twelve millions, i ie face of unascertained supply for the nex ear which the peculiar s'ate of things i lississippi is likely to render scarcely a verage one, would have been a ivoaknes n the part of those connected with Ameri an interest highly censurable and unjustifi tie. Indeed no one can well venture t stiir.ate the consequences of such a calami f, for it rou?t be rcco'l^eted, that the n .. mou it of this loss in the shape of reclame. lions would have to be met in exchange or ? V if bullion. J As the d? b? would have no represent,t tion in value on the other side, it is highly r probable, exchange on England would rule ai . j so high as to coerce the exportation of the us j precious metals to such an extent as to en~ ct j danger the ability of our banks to sustain ??t ' I specie payments. We should then have another frightful revulsion, and the British .' manufacturer find to his cost that in his t ff- se < I orrs to depress cotton u penny a pound, ins a I best customer lnd been broken down. tr Those views form not the apology, but {|j i the absolute justification of the recent cir| cuiar. _ w fj It is due in Messrs. Humphrey's <Sc Bid. Bi q i die that it should bo distinctly announced, pj j j that they are at this moment entirely ignor. 0j ij nnt of the existence of this document, or of its forthcoming tire object of which they 1 ] s ! have neither suggested nor advised ; while J ' it is equally true that the Bank of the Uni- h | ted States is entirely disconnected with it. jjj, o [From Ike Man hester Guvrdian.] ! es Stale of Trade.?Id a paragraph under J [t * this head, which appeared in the Guardian J ri of Wednesday las', we stated that an r agreement to work three days a week had ve been extensively signed by the spinners and fo * j manufacturers of Staly ridge, Ashton, w| * ! flydt.s and tho neighborhood.

Hedge nces are seldom used in the Southern be ates ; and owing to the difficulty of mak- j nu j qI* g them strong and close enough always to | r irn cattle, hogs and pigs, liiey will hardly : /or be exensively adopted as an outside dc nee. Cannot the mulberry tree be ad. ! sa intageously substituted for the different ')L metits of thorn and other shrubs in r.:'>kg live.fence ? The reason why trees plant1 close enough, even in good soil, to an- cl ver the purpose of a fence, do not flourish' ;,? ems to b'>, not the want of nutriment in |j( e soil, but the commingling of their fops. or, although half a dozen trees planted Sj ithin a few inches of each of other, grow nr >ry little, yet, let all, except one, be dug ^ >, and that one will flourish after it draws n times as much nutriment from the same il as the half a dozen sickly young trees Se id before done. It is not necessary now tol inquire into the reason of this. A knowl Ige of the fact is sufficient for our present j irpose. m Cannot trees, then, be so managed, that rr hilst thejr bodies and limbs nre made to or ow close enough to answer as a fence, pr eir tops may still have space enough to Jjl ow without commingling ? In this there sj, ems to us to be no great difficulty. We nc iggest, for the trial of planters, the follow- p 0 mode of attempting it. ,n Let mulberry cuttings be planted so near ^ ich other that if the stalks and branches "the first and second years'growth ofeccb ce be united to those of the trees on boib cc^ Jes of if, as is done in grofting, th^y will j c0 1 close enough foi a fence. After doing j ^ is, let the tops be thinned out by lopping at f every Jsccond one as often as they be- an ime too thick. It trees united in this way l,'fi ill grow, and we see no goo i reason to lubt it, an impenetrable fence may be ade of any desired cxtenr, which would nei st for centuries, and would never be in = inger of injury from freshets, storms or | e. It would be one great wall of living j 3od, somewhat resembling net work on a er( rge scale, and of irregular meshes, with jj. re and there a flourishing tree rising out it. The morusmullicaulis is the variety all which, owing to the rapidity of its owth, the number of its stalks, and the M adiness with which it grows from cuttings, ^ fence of ihis kind could soonest be made; S' - 'an it from its rapid growth and the couse. sa icntly s 3ft texture of its wood, it may ?t prove a very durablfl tree, and it may l under any management grow* '< t:c tliat woulJ be necessary. The nntiv? & mulberry is known to be durable and is sufficiently rapid growth to make a fence a few years. The white mulberry would :o answer well, but may not last as long the red. T..c Alpine, which is consid?d hardy find durable, might prove to bo j most suitable. Wc have seen only n ,v brandies of it, and one main siem of a ,v weeks' growth. From these wc could rm no conclusive opinon t but they seem. to shew thut, though the tree has fewer liks than the multicoulis, it lias more anches or limbs than nny of the varieties :ntioned; winch, if it be the case, is an imrtant advantage. If would also bo prerable 10 the white for feeding silk-worms, soon as it would bear 10 be shipped for it purpose, if it would do so at all. But maged according to oat proposed plan would not bear to bo stripped for many years, perhaps never, because 3 foliage is to be reducd by trimming as jch as will bo consistent with the vigorous owth of the wood. Apple trees, we suppose, might be man d in the same way, and with a little eolation o . the outside as well as on the inic of the fence, would yield fruit enough pay for a large proportion of the expense planting and training. They would not wever last so long as the mulberry, and )u!d require more labor, bacausc they uld not bo raised from the cuttings.? rees a few feet high might be hurried igthwisc, root to top, in a furrow, and >uld tlnowup sprouti enough?perhaps Die than enough?for making a fence.? i -?i?- i-- .i-- ?? ua ?uuri |iuin>jps uo wiu ursi mode 01 inting the mulberry cuttings. Our theory, like many others, may fail in aclicc; but the expense of making the periment would be small, though it would quire some years. From the Petersburg Va. Constellation. MORU3 MULTICAULI5. We believe we write the words "Aforus ul icaulis" editorially for the first time in :r life, and we do so now to notice what ipcars to be generally the fact, that the antings of the Spring have to a great ex. nt failed to come up throughout the Union, t the North, the culturists have suffered ith unprecedented severity in this sub. ct; and in Virginia, there is a general >mplai:it of the decay and blight of the itting. It is our ill luck to speak ex. iriinontally on this subject. As a matter amus-ment, rather than with the ex pec rion of gain. wc planted about 17 hundred ds, (obtained from three several-deaL s.) in a soil well adapted for the purpose e eighth of which only have come up and omise to do well.

The consequence of so universal a ilure will, in our humble opinion, inevita* y be a brisk demand and high prices next nson ; it being no longer, and it has here* rore been, a question with us that the ilture of the mulberry and the rearing of k worms is soon to become one of the idmg pursuits of the American husbandan.
