SPIRIT OF TOE JOURNALS. CHIONICLE —The Ministerial eriangements are completed, with the exception of the Legal appointments, which are not yet definitively died. We wish it to be understood, therefore, that in the List which we are about to give, the Law appointments are not to be altogether re lied on. With this caution, we believe the following may be considered as a correct account of the arrangements : - Premier - - Earl Grey Lord Chancellor . . Mr. Brougham Chancellor of the Exchequer . Lord Althorp Home Secretary . Viscount Melbourne • Foreign Secretary - - Lord Palmerston Colonial Secretary - Viscount Goderich President of the Board of Trade Mr. C. Grant President of the Board of Control Mr. C. Wynn First Lord of the Admiralty Sir James Graham President of the Council . Marquis of Lariodown Lord Privy Seal - . Lord Durham Chancellor of the Duchy of Lan caster . - . Lord Holland • Master of the Mint . . Sir H. Parnell Muter-General of the Ordnance Duke of Richmond Lord Lieutenant of Ireland . Marquis of Anglesey Commander-in-Chief - - Lord Hill—Times. Secretary at War - - Lord Duncannon—Post. Chief Secretary for Ireland - Mr. Stanley Lord Chancellor of Ireland . Lord Plunkett Attorney-General - . Mr. Denman Judge Advocate - . Mr. R. Grant The Lord Chamberlain - Duke of Devonshire The Solicitor-General—Mr. Bickerateth. Mr. Home u well as Mr. Pepys are also mentioned. Mr. Pennefather is named as Attorney.' General for Ireland, in lieu of Mr. Joy. Earl Grey had an imeruiew last night with the King, and although the ministerial names are cor. reedy given above, it is possible some changes in the places assigned to them may yet be made. The conduct of the King throughout is spoken of in terms of warm approbation. So long as the Duke of Wel lington's Ministry were able to carry on the business of the country, he gave his entire confidence to them. The resignation of the late Ministry, in consequence of their defeat on Monday night. imposed on his Majesty the necessity of looking elsewhere for support; and it is understood tbat, when Rail Grey esp. isihwia - the terms on which he could undertake the formation of an Administra tion, his Majesty met his views in the most frank and cordial manner. The principles on which the new Administration have consented to take office are liberal. It is understood that economy and retrenchment, not in name merely, but in substance, are to be enforced throughout the various establishments of the Empire. With regard also to another point—namely, Parliamentary Reform, it is intended to meet the wishes of the country. We can undertake to say that Ministers have agreed to propose a real and substantial Parliamentary Reform, and not a Reform merely in name. The country may also calculate on the adherence of the new Administration to the principle of free trade. PosT.—The difficulties under which we have stated Earl Grey to labour, in his fearful task of forming a new Ministry, are most fully shewn by the pitiable result. His Lordship, it is clear, found it im. possible to form anything like a respectable, or efficient Administration, and was therefore induced to have recoutse to the ordinary expedients of the party, of which he is so worthily the head, to accomplish his de sired purpose. Whip, it is well known, are never over-scrupulous, when the allurements of place are presented to their consideration ; and Lord they, well informed in this respect, saw at once, in the actuating motives of Whiggism, the ready means of relief from his embarrassments. Accordingly his Lordship determined upon overcoming all obstacles, by naming such men as he knew from long experience would accept official situation on any terms, and almost from any party. The consequence I is, that the new Premier has submitted to the degrading necessity of tilling up the various offices in a manner which not even all the diffi culties we early foresaw would have induced unto deem possible under any circumstances. Of those:who are called to the highest situations, the greater portion could scarcely have been selected with less regard to their respective qualifications for the duties they are about to undertake,whilst on the other hand we see the best talent of the pasty sunk and lost inthe most subordinate departments of the government. So wretched an ad ministrative power, we do not hesitate to say, has never disgraced the country from the period of our history in which public feeling end national dignity were first duly consulted. TIMES. —The forthcoming Ministry, we have reason for believing, begins to be licked Into form, and If so, no great deal of time has been lost; arrangements are no doubt facilitated by the circumstance that, with one splendid exception certainly, every body is for reform. The Tories are for it, because, say they, had it- taken place previously to the agitation of the Catholic question, and the voles of the people been truly heard upon that subject, the measure never would have been ear. tied. The Whip are for reform naturally, and of old time I so that, with the exception of the vile borough.ownen only, the ay for reform is perhaps stronger in the House thin out of it. There therefore, no inconsistency in the sensible Tory (the Duke of Richmond,) who has expressed a decided !pinion for re. form and retrenchment, joining the experienced Whig Lord Grey in the Mime Ministry ; and, accordingly, we bear his Grace has been applied to—we believe not in vain. Lord Grey of course is Pre. mier, and First Lord of the Treasury. Lord Lattsdown, Lord: Gode. rich (to whom at one time the Premiership was absurdly and erroneously ascribed), Lord Pabnerston, and Sir James Graham are to be Cabinet Ministers. Lord Anglesey will go to Ireland, with Mr. Stanley as Irish Secretary. Perhaps the motto "tans Mercurio fume Norio," dues not apply to the late Premier; but it is with peculler propriety that he is invited to become Commander in Chief under the new Ad. ministration, and, without casting an milted= on Lord Hill, we sin. eerely hope his Grace will accept the Ala. The Lord Chancellor, Lynd.' hunt, of a surety goes out, but be will do more than earn his pension if, being now unfortunately drawn from his professioo, he will give his attendance frequently in the House of Peers during the bear ing of appeals, and add his prudent and sagacious weasels generally, without taking any part in the ordinary war of politics, and the eon. filet of parties. hit. Brougham, it is probable, may succeed his Lord ship sooner or later, though he may have some pain in quitting his northern constituents. ;They cannot complain that they have been made a stepping-stone, for the promotion would, we suppose, have taken place had he continued to xpraent the close borough of Snares. borough. The parts were y cut last night; and we are inclined to think there is not much error, except that certainly Mr. Brougham is not yet appointed , and that sord Hill may be replaced by the Duke of iVellingtor.. HZIRALD.—It will be seen that, although the Whip predominate in the present Cabinet, it is not exclusively composed of Whig materiels. All the members of it, however, are pledged to a liberal course of do. mestie policy—to Inquiry into the causes of public distress, and lo non.intervention with the internal affairs of other nations. Whether a definite plan of Parliamentary Reform is to be made a Cabinet measure, or whether each member of the Ministry is to be at liberty to vote on that question as he pleases, is not yet positively ascertained. The state of the country requires that the arrangements necessary to the formation of an effective Government should be completed with the lam Feasible delay. Cuaornet.E.—We have, in the present state of this country, the mat powerful of all reasons fir abstaining from interference with the internal affairs of other nations. The burden which presses so heavily on us, it the fruit of a depandre (kin the paths of policy, and of jus tire. The history of the l a st century, and a eoesiderable past of the present, is a history of wan begun without an Intelligible object, to which the resources of the nation were lavished, without regard 'either foe aleting or future generations. We are now pay* the penalty af , our misdeeds. The state of the country at the present moment, is such u to inspire well-grounded apprehensions in all who possess any pow% of reflection. The men who enter on office under such circumstances, win not, most assuredly, lie on a bed of roses. Re tr enchment muss,' of mune, be effec t with an unseXi hand. But retrench. meat is not all.

There never, perhaps, was a division more calculated to prove calculated to provethe actual working of the borough system. Of the two general classes of representatives...those who were sent to parlia ment by many voters, not under any ascertainable or sordid influence, and those who owe their seats to a few voters, implicitly governed in most came by some one or two individuals—there was on this occasion a line drawn, more marked and characteristic than we recollect to have witnessed on any former one. We heartily wish that the Duke of Wel lington had inquired into the state of public feeling on the subject, be. fore he pledged himself, and his ministry, against the very principle of reform ; but he shut bia eyes and his ears, and we have seen the consequence ! IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, No•. 19. The LORD CHANCELLOR (Lyndhurst) took his seat on the Woolsack before five o'clock. Petitions against Slavery in the Colonies were then presented by Lord Farnham, Lord Carlisle, Lord Bexley, the Bishop of London, Earl Batbunt, and Lord Wluancliffe. REPEAL Or THE UNION. The Marquis of ANGLESEY presented a petition from the in habitants of the manor of Great Gorman, in the county of Dublin, praying for repeal of the Union. The noble marquis was unwilling to discuss the question of dissolving the Union between England and Ire. land, upon the mere presentation of a petition ; but could not abstain from saying he differed in opinion from the petitioners. At the earliest opportunity he should express the principles upon which It was his in tention to support the Union. The petition was read and laid on the table, AGIUGULTIMAt LAIIOI7IEIS. Lord FALMOUTH was instructed to say that his noble friend (Lord Winchelaea) was desirous, in the present state of his Majesty's Councils, to postpone the second reading of the Labouring Husbandry Bill, from Tuesday next to the 7th of December. The order for the second reading of the bill was consequently dis charged, and on the motion of tad FALMOUTH fixed for the 7th of December. The House then Adjourned till Monday. HOUSE OF COMMONS. ELECTION PETITIONS. The SPEAKER, on taking the Chair, acquainted the House that the parties who had presented petitions complaining of undue returns for the county of Tipperary, the borough of Carlow, the city of Limerick, and the city of Dublin, had not entered into the requisite recognisance, to prosecute the said petitions. The orders for taking those petitions into consideration were thereupon directed to be discharged. The SPEAKER then informed the house that he had received from the Hanaper Office, Ireland, petitions complaining of undue returns. One of them was from Mr. V. Blake, complaining of an undue return for the town of Galway, and one from electors of Galway to the same effect. Another from Mr. J. Macdonnell, complaining of an undue return for the county of Mayo. One from Mr. I. Daly, complaining of an undue election for the county of Galway. The petitions were ordered to be taken into consideration in January ; the days were oely nominally fixed. Mr. H. VILLIERS gave notice that after Christmas he should move for a Committee to inquire into the Laws respecting British Seamen. Petitions for the abolition of Negro Slavery were presented from Nottingham, by Sir R. Ferguson ; from Coggleton, by Mr. Egerton; sod many other places. Mr. NORMAN presented a petition from the iron-manufacturers of Mathyrtidville, Gbunorganshire, for the repeal of the Corn Laws. Lard KILLEEN was understood to move for a return of the gross assessment of the Grand Juries in Ireland for the Summer Assizes of IMO. Mr. GRATTAN moved for a return of all sums collected for the use of the poor in Ireland fa the last five years.—Ordered. IRELAND. Lord G. BERESFORD presented a petition from Carrickback for the repeal of the Union. Mr. O'CONNELL supported the prayer of the petition. At the time of the Union, that town had upwards of 7,000 persons employed in the coarse woollen-manufacture; at present it had not fifty so occu pied, but was in a miserable state of decay. Sir J. NEWPORT opposed the motion, and the system which the hon. and learned member and his Mends pursued on this question. He considered that the Union was an irrevocable act, and that the efforts to promote the repeal were of the most injurious tendency. Mr. O'CONNELL strongly defended the course be had punned—he bad not created animosities—on the contrary, be had received thanks for what be bad done on this subject; on one occasion, thanks moved by an Orangeman. He maintained that all the mercantile industry, and all the talent of Ireland, were in favour of the repeal of the Union. Me..llOORll denied the eorreetitesp of this representation ; from All be knew or could learn, he most confidently denied that the property and talent of Ireland were in favour of the repeal of the Union. CoL O'GRADY opposed discussion on this question as calculated to continue agitation in Ireland. PUNISRMENT OP DNATIE. Mr.BROUGHAhI presented a petition from persons who were liable to serve on Grand Juries in London for a revision of the criminal laws, fee the purpose of repealing the punishment of death where violence had not been actually committed. He considered it of great import ance, and to be well worthy of the attention of the house. The peti tion was of a general characters it was not limited to the crime of forgery. As the scruples of jurors so often were likely to interfere with the course of the laws, he considered that too much attention could not be paid to the pmts. 3lr. WARD and Mr. DEN MAN spoke to the like effect, in support of the petition. Petition ordered to be printed. Mr. WARD presented a petition from Mr. Galinlano, praying for a revision of the judicature at Gibraltar. Mr. BROUGHAM supported the prayer of the petition ; a remedy for the evil was loudly called for. Sir G. MURRAY said, he bad never seen the petition, and did not know whether there were grounds foe the complaint or not. t Mr. HUME observed that the laws and regulations fee Gibraltar were passed by the arbitrary power of the King and Conseil, and so long es that continued, abuses would exist. Petition ordered to lie on the table. Mr. BRISCOE poisoned pithiest hest Rishosisd, Theme Dime, and Staines, against new ivory, whisk he badly modessmil ss a most heinous crime, and as a foul blot on the character of the country. TIESANTS nt /MILLARD. • Mr. LEADER presented a petition from Mendip, flalway, praying for the Roman Catholics to be placed on a similar footing with the Protestants. Mr. O'CONNELL presented a petition from Whitechumb, lrt the county of Cork, in favour of the voting by ballet, in the payer of which he coneurred.—He th en presented a petition from the samsplace coat placing of Absenteeism, and praying for the repeal of the Union. He begged to say that be should nut renew any angry discussion on this question now, or on say future wades. Ile wished to- add that be I had now documents that OM persons, not 100 as he had before stated, on the FitswUliam estate, by Mr. Mallow the agent, had received no. times to quit t thus his statement was more than confirmed. Mr. GRATTAN observed that notices plight have been served, but none would be turned off; on the contrary, fir. Cbalioner had acted ilth the gmatest liberality. and had taloned buildings and improve. bunts. He wee sails that there woe great error. Sir H. HARMON said be bad received a communication on this subject from Archdescoa Treads. He should be glad to see the bon. and learned geotleman's minds Aomunsota, in order that be might pursue inquiry. Mr. O'CONNELL observed that nothing was more hit t be would forward his document, Mr. DOHERTY ;observed, that nothing could be more &ask than to bring forward this subject night *Her night, and on petitions ; foe had it been known that the subject was to be beaten forward, the member for Yball (Mr. Ponsonby) would have given a most math. factory and detailed answer salvia from Mr. Mallows. This comes was most pertinacious and vexatious; the assertion had been anew dieted ; it had been answered in a way that would have saddled soapy 'oedema. What would be the andition of the landlord, of Wald W their conduct were to be brought foiward in this mew, sod thole elm Meters whispered away?

The petition was laid on the table. arrouvrtos Or SALARIED. Alr. HUME gave notice of a models, that all Government appoint. meats which should take place from henceforward should be fixed at the rate of salaries of the year 1796. The announcement from the Hon. Member was reccivl d with very unusual marks of approbation, from several of the Hon. Members. ILDMINISTRATIOU OF JUSTICE BILL. Sir J. SCEELIVrT brought up the bill for amending the Admi. Watteau: of Justice, which wu read a int time, and ordered to be read a second Mr. O'CONNELL regretted that the hon. and learned gentleman was not in his place, who had declared that it would be a misfortune to the country if the law was such as it night be understood by the hon. member for Middlesex. The hon. and learned gentleman would surely have been highly gratified when he saw that the old system of litmus poem, of the juggle of litigation, was still to be kept up ; it would gratify him to see that the hon. and learned gentleman who brought forward this bill, has succeeded, after about twenty-five attempts, in getting through a bill that had not existed for three months, until an amendment %as required for it, instead of asking for a new bill. Sir J. SCARLETT in explanation said, that the bill to which the Hon. Member for Waterford had alluded had not yet been in force, nor would it come into force till January ; and the present bill was only to amend a clause in it, which amendment it was deemed expedient to have inserted before that the bill came into operation. Mr HUME remarked that the Attorney-General might say what he pleased, but it was evident, from his own shewing, that the bill was to be touched up. The Hon. Member proceeded to say that if the new A ttorney-Genetal and the other law officers of the Crown did not manage otherwise than the last had done, the House would not get on a bit better. Their blundering had delayed the House of Commons more than any thing ; and it was truly ridiculous that it should thus be con. tinually called upon to pus every bill at twice. Sir J. SCAR I.ETT made a few observations in reply, and the amend ment was ordered to be engrossed on Monday next. EMPLOYMENT OP THE POOL Lord NUGENT moved for leave to bring in a bill to promote the employment of the poor, by giving liberty to biting and at adequate wages. The noble Lord stated that the bill was the same which he had carried through the house on the previous session to the second reading. He did not anticipate any opposition to the tell, which was to do away with the system called Roundsmen, and to establish a power by majo rity of raising a labouring rate and thereby abolish a system which was at once ruinous to the lalx:urer, and demoralising to the commu nity. He would not express all that be felt and knew of the distress that existed among the working classes—his object was to mitigate, not to exasperate the differences that existed between the two clinics on ac count of the unnatural state that the wages of the labourer had been forced into by this system. In one parish in Sussex the wages of young unmarried men had, during the pinching months of winter, not exceeded 4s. Gd. and some only 3s. (A. per week. Of flour, the smallest quantity that would maintain life was one peck per week, and that starving ratio cost 3a. and it might naturally be expected, a man forced to exist through a long winter on this allowance, which cost him 3a. out of his miserable allowance of wages, that he must be faced to do something desperate ; but he was bound to state, to the credit of a patient and suffering peasantry, that at the period to which he alluded, the calendar at the assists was WV!r so light. Mr. RUTHVEN supported the motion, and took the opportunity of expressing his admiration of Sir R. Peel, for the many services he bad rendered behind. Colonel FEROUSSON, in giving his support of the motion, also eulogised the hon. secretary. Mr. BRISCOE supported the motion. He stated that in one parish the poor-rates had been originally 2s. Bd. per acre, and that these rates had not yet exceeded 4s. Lod. per acre ; but there each labourer had been in possession of two or three acres of land ; and to this cause was the lowness of the poor-rates to be ascribed. He hoped that the Noble Lord would take that suggestion in the formation of his motion. Sir J. SHELLY and Mr. CURTEIS supported the motion. An Hon. ME II BER, who in support of the motion, remarked, that it could only be made eft in I by the introduction of poor laws. Mr. D. W. HARVEY would have preferred to hear the of others rather than advance any of his own for the relief Tr turista t but under the present circumstances be would offer three sug. rations to their notice. He would suggest to Parliament to call upon the landlords to look into their accounts, and as it bad been Intimated that there wu a desire of adopting the rate of malaria in 1796, let the land-owners contrast their present incomes with what their property then was worth, and make a deduction accordingly. The farmers can never afford to give the relief required to the labourer; if they are called upon to pay war rents, war ratee,and war tithes, they could not pay the la. bourers ample wages. Mr. LONG WELLESLEY alas sun ebeavations which we did not hear distinctly, but which we usemehred to be remarks upon the country gentlemen and the church property. Sir U. W. RIDLEY protested wines wash language being used against the country gentlemen. It weniapseelhieM suppose that they could ever obtain exorbitant rents for their hods; for common sense most teach every one that if landkalle he their bob at too high a price, they would not get tenants to take thus, and eemmas sense would al. ways make the landlord reduce his rent where it was newesely. Mr. HUME remarked, that the hon. member for Colchester bad sug gested that the rent of the land ought to be reduced to the rents of 1796, but he must take into account, in making such a proposition, what money had been expended in improvements. In some cases there was land that had, from being worth SOL had, by improvements alone, been made worth 601. per we. (Hear, bear, hear.) Rent was like the price of every thing else—it could never be controuled or re gulated by law. He was quite satisfied that it must come to the country gentlemen at last—it was they who had spent the money in support of the Government, and they must now consent to part with it. We have, be observed, an expensive Government at present ; but let us have a cheap goverorrent, and then we will do. He regretted to hear the hon. member for St. ifs t, who wished to support the Church in supremacy. It had been rather dominant, and not servile, and had got rich and was above working. The has. member (Mr. H. was desirous to see the tithes applied to their primitive purposes for the support of the poor as well as the try. e. wow suggest that age neral modification and computation tithes should take place. L ee that be fixed and settled similar to the tithes el doedsod. There the land was rated on its value, and not the roam hi to the tithe collector. When tithes were taken of the swim, it prevented the progress of improvement. The new governess( must attend to this, or the Clergy would soon not get any tithes at all. Parliament ought not to separate until they had done something to allay the irritation that existed in the public mind on this point. The hon. gent. ought not to support the church, but for its duties and utility, sad ft was as easy to set men above their avocation as to stane them at their employment ; and a person in possession of 20,0001. or 30,0001. a year was not very likely to be useful as a teacher. Lord NUGENT replied ; and leave vu granted to bring in the bill. Mr. HUNE moved for an amount of Fees received in the Rolls Conrt.%—Ordered. Me.

A few evenings ago, at Battle, Sir Godfrey Webster entered a room where a number of labourers were assembled. They instantly blew out the lights, and some of them seized him by the throat and endeavoured to strangle him. Three dragoons were fortunately at hand, who, upon bearing of the scuffle, immediately dismounted, and came to his assts.- &nee just in time to save his life. BRIONTOZ, FILIDAT.—An attempt was made early yesterday morn ing to break open the powder magazine of the Life Guards, whose bar racks are situated about a mile from the town. Happily, it was frus. traced ; but it is one of the most serious indications that have yet ap. peared in this part of the country. Last night there were no less than three fires, one of which was at houthover, a sort of suburb to Lewes, where a barn and two stacks, on the premises of Mr. Morris, were con. Gamed; a second was at Wesnlean, which is a village situated a few miles further to the eastward; and a third in the direction of Franifielti. The western part of the county is also in a very agitated state, large bodies of men having assembled and extorted money. This 1. another bad feature, and one which has not before characterised the proceedings of the mob. One of the assem near Chichester was addressed by Lord George Lennox, who headed - a body of magistrates and gentlemen; and it is said here that he prevailed upon them to disperse, not by yielding at once to their demands, but by the more proper mode of assuring them that he would listen to any thing which they might urge by means of a deputation ; adding further, that he would sit daily for that purpose, and that every disposition was enter tained by the magistrates to assist and relieve the sufferings of the poor. In the mean time, what are the leading individuals of the county about, that they do not assemble, and 00-operate in some general measures to preserve the peace Frees amther Correspondent The towns of Lewes and fisathover were thrown into a state of the utmost alarm and excitement last night, in consequence of a conflagra tion which took place in the latter parish, when the premises of Mr. Maria, a respectable firmer, were coasinnal to ushht The firs corn. meted about 12 o'clock. The entire of three stacks of oats, a rick of clover, a barn containing a large quantity of wheat (thrashed), and other out-buildinp, wareetatindy consuened. A cow-house was also burned, in whieb a ant calf shared the same fate. The premises of Mr. Morris were situate close to the church, in the centre of the town. Pro* UAW's Register of this day. It is nonsense to suppose that the putting down of Prince Wellington will stop the promings .n the counties. It may gratify coffee-house politicians and talking societies and unions; it may satisfy these, who may deem it a triumph. But what do the labourers are about it ? It will not raise their wages, nor wait't abolish the savage:Game Laws, nor Sturges Bourne's Bills. Take the following two accounts, and then say whether the putting out of the Duke will restore peace to the country : " BTAPLYRIMIT SOM.—The farmers in this place have adopted a petition to Parilanient, which, after describing the attempts that h;ve been made to obtain a reduction of tithes and taxation, states— , It was then that we found ourselves compelled to reduce the price of labour, and we have seen our peasantr, deprived of the comforts and, in part, the necessaries of life, without the means of alleviating their condition. Nevertheless, until now, the oppressed labourer has borne his load com plaining, but not resisting. But the time has arrived when he will bear it no longer. Desperation has urged the labourers of this and other p at is to rise and tongregate. They - have surrounded the houses of your Peti. Lioness In fearful numbers, claiming at our hands that which we believe to be their right, and which we have felt it our duty and Interest to give. We have increased their wages, and now, with our augmented burden (insupportable before), we approach your Honourable House ; we tell you, in language respectful yet pla'n that our burdens are such that we can bear them no longer . They then pray for practical Par. filamentary Ream, and the appropriation of such part of the Church property as is not absolutely necessary for the liberal suppott of the clergy, according to their several stations and merits, and tq the eel. gentiles of the State. Take that, totters up ! Tuck that under kelt* ! The other account comes to me in a letter from Horsham (Sussex,) written b r a friend there ; but, 'Weed, I have seen the substance of it in the newspapers. " novitiate, Nov. 16, 1860.—Sir, —Take the following pert-mi lers aircorrect information for our heditary: and other law.makets assembled -in Medan. On Pdondliy, the 16th and, November, the Tithe Audit of a Air. Dallawm was held at the parish of He usually comes once a yetr, and Wits front the tithe. payers about Ante Weald powbds, leaving sweaty the his journeyman's wages.. As seen as the cloth was removed, after dinner, to eosametrow..the edieetioo, the affrighted - landlord of the inn at this obscure. village, entered the room, in the greatest agitation, demanding his company to come to his assistance, as a party of about two hundred of the labouring classes had besieged his house. The far lnen Present invited them to a conference in the room respecting the. object of their visit. which turned out to be a determination on their part. that the Rev. Gattlemeothould ma ire but 2001. per annum, and that the farmers should agree to a higher price fur labour. Such was the determination on the Iran of the labourers, that the farmers found it prudent to comply with their demands. The Rev. Gentleman went away wi:hnut any money, not choosing to submit to the new laws made so unespeetedly. After the reenters paying the linen for their time. they returned home in peace.. Similar meetings are going on in •everel parishes round here." MILITARY REWARD FOR Coy Rau may be re. collected that on last Monday week, the Bth instant, a band of thieve* and vagabonds proceeded front the Rotunda, in the Bleckfriars.reed, a. the West end of the town, for the purpose of rioting. They began to make an attack upon the Yoreign-Mee, in Downing-Street, when Joseph Jackson, the-mow, on duty, a private in the id battalion of the Ist Regiment of Grenadier Guards, boldly stood forward alone to defend his post against a mob of many hundreds, a number of whom were armed with bludgeons. The ilminese of the unities quickly damped the ardour of the milieus, and their valour oosed away in an M ewl. The whole gang inutediately commenced a retreat, and were drives out of Downing-sweet by Joseph Jackson :himself. On the circumstance being mentioned to Lord Hill, be immediately woe a letter to Colonel Woodford, speaking in the highest praise of Jack son's conduct, and in two days time he was made e.cmpisssl. DWG:act. the Duke of Wellington was so highly pleased with Jaeltimm's presele ct of mind that 'he promised to do something Mere `Set him; and •If vas. eancy having occurred by the death of one ef,the • Weedens of the Tower, foe which vacancy these was a nulther of applicants, the Duke rejected them all, and selected Jackson is 11itt - turret proper man to ell the situation. Yeenday mentiog. oe. sliteksoo's great astonishment, he reeeived his discharge from the regiment, and his ap. pointmetat as me of the Wardens of the Tower. ' The• situation is worth rather more than MAL per annum. and is genwalb perchased . fur 3001. besides wiliirhig coasidetable interest to procure the tams. . 1 ' I 1 i II r .. • i '1 •: i
