FOR THis SUN. CHANGE OP MINISTEIt4., Ma. Eurron—There have been many rumours rlspecting 'alleged- differences of opinion upon serious subjects amongst his Majesty's Ministers, some of which have even gone so far as to re : Tresent that there are an ultra Party and a Liberal-Party in the Cabinet, one of which (at least) is said to be anxiously endeavouring to turn: out the other. I knoW not what founda tion there is for these reports, nor was I inclined to give any credit to them, until I became an eye and an ear witness to an occurrence, a few even ings since, in the House of Lords, which al though seemingly trifling, and unimportant in itself, may warrant an inference in some de gree confirmatory of the reports alluded to. A Noble and Learned Lord, justly celebrated for the soundness of his legal decisions, having left; , his seat for the purpose of expressing his dissent from a measure proposed and supported by some of his Right Honourable Colleagues, was about, (as it appeared to me), to call a Noble Earl, who holds a high station in his Majesty's COMICIIR, his " Noble Friend;" but, he suddenly 'checked himself, and after a pause which could not fail to be remarked by others as well as by me, substituted the term " Lord," for "Friend," 61ough it was impossible not to see that he had been just about to utter the latter expression ! The sentence began with the pronoun instead of the article, which would have been used, if the Speaker had at its commencement intended to apply the title Lord to the Noble Personage 4 of whom he spoke ; and it was given thus My Noble 'way "Sze. &c. &c. isubrnit the above curious fact, Mr. Editor, to your critical acumen; and as you are said, and indeed seem, to be sometimes admitted behind the curtain in STATE MA. rTERS, I shall be happy if I succeed in drawing an explanation from you. I am, &c. NOY SE t ixsu. LOAN.—The fallowing. Circu lar was yesterday transmitted to several Mem bers of the Foreign Stack Excltunge Lead en hall.street2lst July, 1823 (12 o'clock.) " Stit—The reports which have been circulated so unex pectedly to us, respecting the Spanish. Loan of 1822 (although we have no official communication on the subject of them), may probably create controversy, and pos.sibly a reference . to the Government of Spain, " We are anxious to protect our friends, who have become subscribers, from any uneasiness on that account. We have therefore determined to ram the engagement wa have al. ready from you, and not to. take any more at preseni, and we request of you to do the saute with any further, list f you may 0 have formed " We ar c perfectly prepared to demonstrate, that we have been Nly Authorised i n every step we have hitherto taken, and remain, sir, your most obedient servants, HULLETT, BROTHERS, and Co.".

NawcAsTLE.—A rare occurrence has taken Place in this Borough, connected With the choosing a RePre rntatise in-place of the late lamented W. S. Kix xEnst.y, 'l4. We advert to the circumstance of there being only one candidate for the honourable situation. On Tuesday morning , 1 eats Brown, Esq. issued an address, stOng that after the burial of M r . Kitmersly, he should canvass the town : this was l'ry shortly followed by one Erom J. Evelyn Denison, Esq. of 'ssington, in the county of Nottingham, the purport of which 7, 0 Runilar to Mr. Brown's. On Thursday morning, Mr. tknisoa made his enta into Newcastle, attended by a mime ??..llB cavalcade, and also a great number of friends to the cause !r which. he stood the advocate. In the assemblage we ob. red many of the most respectable inhabitants. After passing ty!rough the principal streets, Mr. Denison was taken to the , l O lm Hall, where he was proposed as a tit person to represent Vlllorough, by Ralph Clews, 'Esq., seconded by James Smith, eq, Mr. Denison then made an addresti, but from The bing and indecent conduct of two or three turbulent fellows, „` u r " ° t a word could be heard. Mr. Denison afterwards spokelreni „Isindow of the Roebuck Inn, and explained his political sen&. meats, Mr. Brown, contrary to expectation, kept away from „ — e,Horough, and on Friday (yesterday) circulated an address, ittng that from a combination of parties and circumstances, 1 14 friends had requested him to decline, and that he had taken their c advice as far as regarded the present election. Mr. Deni son will, therefore, in all probability, gain his object without s PPosition. PLymouTli DOCK.--A. Meeting of the Inhabi- Wits was held at the Town-Hall, which was crowded in every Part, on Thursday evening, to take into consideration the pr.o !!rlety of altering the present name of this town to one more in -4lcative of us rising wealth and importance.

Escaping the observation of the waiter, they descended to the bar, 'where they left a'paper parcel sealed, directed to a Notary Public in the city, requesting it might be taken Care of till their return. It is almost needless to add they did not return. The parcel on inspec tioo) proved to contain some old almanacks, part of a tailor's pattern card, and the trial a' a note. riOUs thief.

We understand Beilby Thompson, Est. of Escrick, has invited, in addition to Prince Leopold, the Duke and DOchess of Northumberland, and a numerous party of persons of distinction . to visit Escrick during the Meeting ; and as the evenings will be moonlight, and the morning performances will not commence sooner than twelve each day, families from the country will here every fa cility for attendance. IMPORTANT ALTERATION IN THE PAVEMNT OE ST. JAIIEB I .II4QUARE.

This experiment, as it may be called, is one of very considerable interest, ler if it succeed, t h e plan cannot fail of being speedily adopt ed in other streets of the bletropo. lis. The aulvantages anticipated, however, ate not only o f expence, but there will be leini . noise; the streets will be easier kept dean in Winter, and will requite a less quantity of water In Summer, and 'there will be less chance of accident both to horses and carriages.

The Sieur Azzolari de Bergame, aged 23 years, was forced, in 1021, by the political events which agitated Piedmont, to quit the' city of Turin, where he studied medicine. Fly ing to France, he fixed los retiidence at 'Parisi, and took lodgings at the house of a locksmith, who had U . young and pretty daughter.. Azzolari abutted the rights of hospitality, and seduced the daughter of his host, 'The father; discovering this criminal intrigue, reproached Az:: zolari, for the baseness of his conduct, and a violent quarrel ensued. Azzolari, in his fury, bit the finger of his host with so much' violence as' to take off the nail. After this affair, Azzo lari took the young girl, and proctreded to Versailles. Here they lived together some , days ; when deprived of the means of living, and reduced to despair, the two lovers . mutually aereed to put an' end to their existence. They hesitated for n time between.' pistOl and poison ; but soon deciding for the latter, they took a beverage composed of white vitrol infused in water. The medical men have since &ORM, that the'beverage Was not powerful enough to cause death. Azzolari and his mils tress were relieved from the effect of the potion by emetics.— Justice now followed on their steps, and .Azzolari , was arrest ed. The Chamber of Accusation which had the coghizance of the affair, acquitted the accuse d the charge of poisoning; end even that of abduction, on the ground, that the young girl was more than sixteen years old when she voluntarily fol. lowed her seducer. The only charge 'which could be Main tained against the prisoner, was that for the civil injury, at the snit of the father; and Azzolari was sentenced to a years's fin pristinment, and to pay a tine of fifty franes.—(l ) aris Pnper of Saturday.)
