LATEST ENGLISH NEWS. From the Sydney Morning Herald, November 10.

This morning's oveiland mail from Fort Phillip brings us English news to the 6th July, and as it contains the list of the Russell Ministry as finally determined upon, we lose no time in presenting our readers with the important .intelligence. The copious supply of extracts which we present to our readers (for which we are indebted to our southern contemporaries) renders any lengthy introductory remarks unnecessary. It will be seen that two very important changes have taken place since the supposed list was published, Lord Palmerston is now Foreign Secretary, and, unfortunately for us, Lord Grey, Secretary for the Colonies. The Senate of the United States had ratified the Oregon treaty by a majority of 38 to 12, so that that question is now finally settled. Lord Stanley's protest against the Corn Law Bi 1, which will be found among our extracts, had been signed by nine Peers. The Abstract of the nett produce of the Revenue of Great Britain for the year ending sfh July, 1846, shows a decrease on the year of £1,011,773 and an increase on the quarter of £575,599. " Money is easy, and all bills have been promptly met." The July Wool Sales had commenced, and the prices had still a downward tendency. Sir Walter 8. Riddell, Bart., had been appointed Recorder of Maidstone, in the room of D. Pollock Esq., the newly appointed Chief Justice of Bombay Ac a meeting at the Town-hall, Manchester, at which 500 gentlemen were present, the sum of £18,000 was subscribed for the Cobden testimonial. It is expected that the subscriptions in Lancashire alone will amount to £50,000.
