abject n the idera- IR• U MR MORNING rosr. None of the new Ministerial arrangements hal e yet been publicly announced, but there is no doubt of the most eminent Statesmen of the day being included in them. The change in his Majesty's Councils, thus happily effected, was throughout the whole of yesterday the general theme of joy and exultation in all parts of tire mettopolis, notwithstanding the gross misrepresentations of the causes which produced this suspicious event, in which some of our cotemporaries continue to indulge. It was not, we repeat, one point merely of disagree ment between the members of the late Administration, but several, and some of them of the very highest im portance, which led to this fortunate result—a result in which every sincere lover of his country so openly and unfeignedly rejoices. rie Whigs, as we have already stated, insisted upon the admission to the Cabinet of Lord Holland, is the first step towards the accomplishment of their ill concerted design to form, at no distant period, an Administration consisting exclusively of Whigs. This was resolutely resisted by the Tory Members of the Cabinet, particularly by the Lord Chancellor and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, from o due sense of the evils that would arise, as well from the prevalence of Whiggish influence in the Cabinet, as from the dangerous political pri ciples publicly and repeatedly avowed by the Noble Advocate of Radical ism, the Champion of Catholicism, 'and the inflexible Opposer of the Test Act. The Whigs, foituiately f.r the country, were defeated; and having from that moment become conscious that they held office by a very precarious tenure, they then began to look about . them for the means of casting a gloss over their retire ment or dismissal. Another subject, upon which an inconceivable differ ence of opinion prevaileJ—a subject too of the greatest and most urgent importance—was the measures proper for England to adopt in the existing state of her rela tions with Russia and Tut key. The Whigs were for reso lute war against the latter Power; the other more prudent Members of the Cabinet could not be convinced of the neccessity, and were unwilling to encounter the piobable'consequences of reducing the question to this terrible alternative. The Whigs were again defeated, with, we have reason to belieir, this circumstance of additional mortification, that some of their victorious colleagues expressed an opinion that too much had al ready been done against Tot key ; and that unless we found ourselves actually attacked by the Porte, our more discreet course would be to remain strictly upon the defensive. These differences of opinion were what really pro duced the conviction, in which we believe every member of the Cabinet concurred, that it was impossible for the Administration longer to act together; and the slightest tell ction upon the latter point of difference to which we have alluded, will, we ti ink, be suffi.ient, to satisfy every impartial man, that the country has the greatest reason to rejoice at thii final expuLion,of the Whigs from power. It wai not thought fit, however, that the setti •g sun of Ministerial Whiggery should sink below the horizon, without an attempt at least to delude the populace into a valedictory acclamation ; and the contrivance hit upon with this view is entirely worthy of the men who have employed it. The Whig Ministers, led by Mr. Tierney, took upon themselves not only to' prepare a list of the Members of the House of Com mons who were to compose the Finance Committee in the approaciag Session, but to determine that Lord Al thcrp (a qiiescent votary of Whiggism) should be its Chairman, without condescending to consult the opinion or wishes - of Mr. Herries, the Minister of all others echo ought primarily to have been consulted upon the subject. Yet, strange to say, we ate asked in the leading Paper of the defunct Ministry, " who or what is Mr. Henries, that his wishes should be consulted ?" ClJr answer is, that Mr. Ilerries (a Gentleman of high birth and distinguished talents) is the Chncelloi of the Exchequer of Great Britain—the bona fide and responsible Minister of Finance of the with whose official department in the Government this Committee would . have been exclusively con cerned, and whore important duty it was to prepare all the necessary materials for its proceedings.t The f In further answer to this unworthy question, we cannot deny oLittelves the pleasure of extracting the following passage from a inter Inserted to one of our succeeding Columns, to the truth and com_..- is, I's is is a bounce ty and iehood 'at the w Ad ie last, era of ig the (17 not is 11311 be so g Scrip [he Mr. lours of sire re al only med.— rk upon busi. miry to but it is v ices Of ptcsett't Ise COI) wasted, t t7.412d gf)g chit _^~~ -~- arpartia:iry' ind independence Which it is odr ambition s hould characterise this Paper upon all vrbierts. 0 its fir . eign policy, especially, we have tult outse!ves comPtled to speak in almost unmeasured no ens ol condertioation. Its financial objects were, linwevri we believe, cot tett and well intentioned; and. h id t h e one remained unemb massed by the other, we ale in clined to think that, ..1100 ing for the smotheoing nature of the incubui of the uebt, something in the way of economy and teiorm might have been hiought about by the pint labours and practical good sense o f such men as I.r. Hu.kisson and Mr. hierliet.— . /iut it is in vain for a man in private life to have a good steward, if he himself will outrun the con aahle ; and it is equally in vain to expect that a Chan cellor of the Exchecpier can relieve a country from its e mbarrassments, if, while he is retrenching on the one band, he finds a Portuguese and a Greek expe dition adding twice as much to the debtor side of the account. No country probably 114$, in so short a period, exhibited such striking instances of fully as this has done in the above two particulars. " Hui band y , ur resout ces," says common sense; " do all you can to retrieve your financial embarrassments, that you 'may, as tar as possible, be lead) , for war, whenever. it unavoid rbly occu:s." But, in the teeth of this obvious policy, the country sees her resources wasted on ob jects she really cares not one farthing about ; and the day of retrenchment postponed, and her financial difficulties increased, by the very hands which should, had it been guided by common discretion, have pur sued a ditectly opposite course. The political demise of Lord Liverpool certainly was a calamity. It brought into office a man of great genius and of warm imagination—whose genius and imagination, whale controlled by superior wisdom, were, like in giedients in certain mixtures. pleasant to the pa. late, and useful t.r the body, but alone, and in the ascendant, soon lost all use or gratification, and have entailed upon the coun,try evils out of which it will l equire great skit to exit icate her. But the greater the difficulties, and more especially the financial ones, of the country, the less can she afford to lose men so competent to grapple with them as Mr. I luskisson and Mr.Herries. As for Lord Goderich, he seems to be lost in the crowd. lie was induced to undertake a task to which neither his mind nor body appear to have been equal. No sooner' is there a ;light commotion in the garrison, than he declares the whole in a state of mutiny, and renounces the command. Let all men do so under similar cit.- lumstances, and the whole frame of society may fall to pieces. No men are tit for command who are mere parade Generals; nor is any man great who cannot be so on great occasions. I , -v , " II . . Whigs know well enough that Mr. I-lefties is no" a m.n either to brook such an indignity, or to suffer the lore- , rests of his c , unity tt, be sacrificed to the fur poses of faction. He of course, as they especrest and intended ' rejec•ed their irregular and pre.timptis• its norninAti resting upon the gri und of reel na ional advantage, And dote mired that the pr peed ta-c should beaimp,irtiall% assior ed to men considerately selected from both side, of the live-e, and that a Member fully es pet incd in the business of Finance should be appointed as Chairman; instead of yielding to the wishes of the Whigs to torn the whole business to factious and dangerous ptirpo es:— This, we have before stated, the Whigs attfully allege as the immediate cause of the breaking up of the Administration, and upon the strength of which they, adding to their total disregard of the public inte rest, the grossest insult to public unsierstanding, vainly hope to obtain great popularity in the country, as mar tyrs in the cause of retrenchment and economy. The Whigs have seldom taken a very accurate measure of the good sense of the people of England ; but perhaps they never erred so egregiously in this respect as upon the present occasion. But the causes of the great and glorious change now before us •are, after all, of minor importance.— That we shall have a Nlinistry worthy of the Nation's confidence—a Ministry composed of men of talent and integrity--of men who can understand, and esteem, and confide in each other—these is nos. , not the slightest reason to doubt. We have indeed no fear that our congratulations to the Country on the formation of such an Administration can be premature, founded as they are upon the joyous fact of our gracious Monarch having committed the task of selecting its Members into the hands of the great', the upright, the — ustrious Wellington. justice of which every man of even ordinary information must in common fairness subscribe. The letter, it will he observed from its date, was written before the dis4olotion of the late Ministry. and in reply to an article in a Paper of Thursday : " If there is any family in England distinguished for its antiquity and nobleness of descent, it is that of Mr. ['ferries. He stands at the head of one of the oldest Houses in the Empire. The first [ferries upon record was one of the most distinguished Salon Earls, who, disdaining to live under the thraldom of the Not man Con queror. fled with his exiled Princess to the coast of the Scottish Monarch, and was endowed with several ample manors in the Northern kingdom. His descendant joined the banner of Richard the First, was ;distingd:shed warrior in the Holy Land, and on his return received very extensive grants Pf Lind in England, particu larly in Notts, Northampton, and York. as may• be seen in the ' Testa de Neville' and other ancient Records.

Doctor DAUNCEY, the physician of Chelsea, when on a visit to his brother JOHN In Cumberland, expressed a wish to take some wild fowl with him on his return to town. At an early hour on the morning of his departure he accompanied his brother to the margin of a lake, when the latter said, " Doctor, I forgot my mud hoots ; give me yours. I can snake bitter use of tbem than you." " Why, really, I forgot mine also," said the Doctor. " Well, no matter ; I can do without then. Give me your fowling piece; I forgot mine," said his brother. " Why, truly, so have I," cried the Doctor." Wednesday night about half past seven o'clock Coulton and Gower, constables, and two Excise officets, repaited to a pork shop situate in Gray's Inn goad, opposite the White Hatt public house, and having gained admission, rushed down stairs. At that mo ment two men were seen to pass through the window of the back kitchen into.the yard, and escape over the wall. An attempt was made by the constables to fol low the escaping party, but two formidable dogs instantly made their appearance, and obliged them to reti eat in- to the house. The Excise officers hid in the mean Um, seized a gill at full work in the back kitchen, together with 60 gallons of illicit spirits ready for sale, a large quantity of molasses, and other ingredients fitted for the manufactute of illicit ispitits, the whole of which \were I conveyed to the Excise Board, Broad Street, city.

Mr. WRIGHT stated the petition of Thomas W , partner of the bankrupt, the object of which supersede the commission. The ground's alleged that the petitioner was engaged in partnership bankrupt in the music trade, and that under a cc-partnership the profits of that trade wet e div five shares, of which he (the petitions) was ts three, and the bankrupt two. That some time year 1826, some differences arose between them, sioned, as it was alleged, by the bankrupt himself entitled to a larger share of the profits than reserved to hem under the deed. Ile c nsequently proposed to the petitioner tither to sell him his shares, or to buy those of the petitioner. This offer it did not suit the petitioner to accede to, and he declined it. The petitioner stated, that the proposition had been repeated to him in various forms, and, among othi rs, by a letter from the bankrupt's aunt ney, Mr. 80l on, who ;fated, m reova, that if it should not be accepted, Mr. H ivies was resolved to relea e himself from the pa tnership ; but whether by me ins of a bill in Chan cery, or by some other' method, could not be then lote seen. It was alleged that NI , . Hawes afterwards, in conversation with Mr. Power, the music seller, in the S rand, and several other persons, bad. unequivocally stated that he should become bankrupt. Some time afterwards, the petitioner not having accepted the offer, a commission of bankrupt was issued against Mr. Hawes, at the instance of Mr. Hodges, who appeared as the cetitioning• creditor, and the proceedings were taken by Mr. Bolton, Hawes's attorney. Upon these ciicuinstanees taken together, the petitioner charged, and his Counsel argued, that there was evidence of the . commission having been concerted solely for the pur pose of putting an end to the copait." r,hiF, • and that therelete it ought to be superseded. It apt eared that an indictment had been pre,erred en the same grounds, but having been removed by ctrtiorati to the C ,, tirt of King's Bench, it had not yet been laird. Mr. Wright commented upon the affidavits at great The LOUD CHANCELLOR said the question appeared to him to be one which it was impossible for him to de cide. It appeared clearly, from the statement which had been made, that the facts were such as would re quire a minute inquiry arid investigation. The affida rid; were conflicting, and the accouct given by dare tent persons of the same transaction varied so much, that it would be impossilie to ieconciie them with each f ther, and a hopeless task for Lint to atteuipt to elicit horn them the real state of the case. He was, of course, willing to hear all chit was to be said on the subject ; but he r as strongly disposed to think that it n.O t at last be retelied to the decision of a Jury, before %%town the several withusses on Loth sides in ght be emu elallto ed. Mr. Twlss opposed the petition. He stated the sub stance of the affidavits of the bankrupt and his Attorney, which denied ad concert. Ti.e bankrupt stated that his affairs were such as rendered the bankruptcy necessary, and that it was,nut resorted to fr.r the purposealleged in the pet tida. His Attorney swede that the letter al luded to was not written by him, hut by one of his cle.ks, although it had his sanction, and denied that the words which had be. a voted meant to threaten the petitioner with the hansiuptcy which had since taken place. He explained, also, the circumstance of his being the Attorney suing put the commission, by the fact of his having been employed by Mr. Hodges, Ate petitioning creditor, on viol- us other occasions.
