SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock, THE PARLIAMENT. (THIS EVENING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at half-past three o'clock. Mr. H. MAXWELL presented a petition from the county of Cavan, praying for a revision of the General Registry Act. AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS. The Marquis of CHANDOS gave notice that he should, on the 18th of May, upon moving the Order of the Day for the House going into a Committee of Supply, call' the atten tion of the House to the distress of the agricultural interest for the purpose of founding a resolution thereon. NOTICES OF MOTION. Several Hon. Members postponed motions of which they had given notice till after the recess. SABBATH BILL. Mr. POULTER postponed the Committee on the better' observance of the Sabbath Bill from the 29th inst. to the 19th of May. NEW WRITS. Mr. F. BARING moved a new writ for Inverness in the room of the Right Hon. Charles Grant, who had accepted the office of one of his Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State. Colonel SIBTHORP made some observations that were almost inaudible in the gallery, the purport of which was to object to so long an adjournment of the House as until the 12th of May. Mr. F. BARING then resumed his motion for the New Writs. For the West Riding of Yorkshire, in the room of L or d Morpeth, who had accepted the Chilternundreds, and had been appointed Secretary for Ireland. For the Burghs of Haddington, Ere., in the room of the Hon. Robert Steuart, who had been appointed one of the Lords of the Treasury. For Taunton, in the room of Mr. Labouchere, who had been appointed Vice- President of the Board of Trade. For Berwick-on-Tweed, in the room of Sir Rufane Donkin, who had accepted the appointment of Surveyor-General of the Ordnance. For the borough of Sandwich, in the room of Sir Thomas Troubridge, who had accepted the appointment of one of the Lords of the Admiralty. Mr. F. BARING, in reply to the observations of Colonel Sibthorp, said that he did not think the House would, upon considering the difficulties which naturally attended first en tering into office, grudge the few days which the members of the new Government would have, after their election, to pre pare themselves for the business of the country ; and under those circumstances he believed the House would not object to the adjournment till the 12th of May. Col. SIBTHORP saw no reason why he should not persist in his objection to so long an adjournment as the 12th of May. He knew it would require not three weeks but three months to render the Members of the new Ministry comfortable in their places.—( A laugh from the Opposition.) When he looked at the gracious speech of his Majesty, in which so much had been promised to relieve the agricultural interest--(Laughter from the Ministerial Benches)—and also when he saw the difficulties of the mercantile interest ; and when he was to ex pect a renewal of the fructifying system of the:Right Hon. Baronet opposite (who was, however, likely only to sit for a short time on those Benches), he thought it necessary to raise his voice, and to object to so long a postpone ment of the business of the country.—( Hear, hear.) He did not like the countenances of the Hon. Gentlemen op posite—( Laughter)—for he believed them to be the index of their minds—( Continued laughter)—and he should oppose them on every point, from the conviction that they could not bring forward any thing that would tend to benefit the country. He earnestly hoped to God that they would have a safe and speedy riddance from such a band.—(Laughter.) Mr. O'CONNELL said he admired the good humour with which the gallant Colonel had made his observations, and although there might be something very remarkable in the countenances of the gentlemen on this side of the House, yet he thought the gallant Colonel's countenance—(Laughter) --at all events, was as remarkable as any upon the Ministerial benches.--( Laughter.) I will not (continued Mr. O'Con nell) abate him a single hair—(Great laughter)—in point of good humour. It is pleasant, Sir, to have these things discussed in the good temper and with the politeness which characterizes the Gallant Colonel. Elsewhere they may be treated in a different style, either considered by the reso lution of this House as unfit to hold office may presume to talk of the Irish representatives in a manner highly unbecoming any Member exceedingly indecent, an indecency that would be unsufferable, if it were not ridiculous. --(Hear, hear.) There is no creature, not even a half ma n i ac , or a half idiot, that may not take upon himself to use that lan guage here which he would know better than to make use of elsewhere.—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") And the bloated buffoon ought to learn the distinction between independent men, and those whose votes are not worth purchasing, even if they were in the market.--( Loud cheers. ) I thank the Gallant Colonel for the good humour with which he has introduced this, and if we are not to have him as a friend, it is pleasant to have him as an enemy.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. SINCL AIR then rose, but in consequence of the low and indistinct manner in which the Hon. Member spoke we could not hear very well what he said. We understood him to commence by stating that he could not help expressing his regret that the good humour the Honourable and Learned Gentleman had commenced with had not extended to the observations which he had made with reference to indi viduals in their places in Parliament.—(" Oh! ") He had al ways admired the Hon. and Learned Gentleman's endeavouring to avoid actual collision with individuals.—( Cries of Oh, oh I") He had refrained from making any observations upon the structure of the Ministry until it should be completed, so as to be laid before the House in all the symmetry of its proportions. It must be admitted that consummate dexterity and admirable discretion had been displayed with reference to the choice of its materials; but still it wanted the Colossal column from the Giant's Causeway.— ( Laughter.) An HON. MEMBER of the Ministerial benches, but whose name we could not learn, rose to order, and said—l do not think the Giant's Causeway--( The remainder of the sentence was drowned in the uproar on the opposite Benches.) When the interruption had subsided, Mr. SINCL A Iff proceeded to say that he believed that, as to the lonic column, if a trench were cut, the foundation would be discovered to be formed of the same materials. He then went on to speak, but in so inaudible a tone, that only detached sentences could be occasionally caught of what he said. He complimented the character of the late Chancellor of the Exchequer. He prophesied that the present Govern ment would be destroyed between the Scylla of the Radical reefs and the Conservative Charybdis, for he feared that suffi cient would not be done by them to satisfy the Radicals, and too much to excite alarm in the minds of the Con servatives.--( Hear, hear.) He suspected, however, that an ominous and temporary conjunction would take place be tween the Wellington Mars and the O'Connell Jupiter, with all his satellites. [lt is merely conjecture whether the above remarks were made as repeated, so indistinctly and inaudibly the Hon. Gen. tleman spoke.] _ _ The appointment of the Election Committees, and such other business as was fixed for this day, were postponed until the meeting of Parliament after the adjournment. Mr. BULWER asked if the late Government measure respecting Ecclesiastical Courts was completed? Sir H. HARDINGE was unable to reply in the absence of his Majesty's late law officers. The motion for adjournment was then put and carried. IRISH CHURCH. Mr. SH EI L gave notice, that on the first day after the re cess that the House went into a Committee of Supply, he should move " That no person who should be appointed to an eccle siastical dignity should be considered to have any vested inte rest in it, which would entitle him to compensation in case it should subsequently be suppressed." Sir R. ING LIS stated that on the Hon. and Learned Member's making that motion, he should move that the oath he had taken should be read.—(Great cheering from the Op position. ) COMMITTEES ON PRIVATE BILLS. Mr. TOOKE moved that Committees on Private Bills should have leave to sit notwithstanding the adjournment. Several members suggested that the motion should be con fined to committees now sitting. Mr. TOOKE had no objection to adopt that suggestion, but he considered it hard on the promoters of private Bills, after bringing their witnesses to town, that they should be sub jected to the inconvenience of so long an adjournment. This observation particularly applied to the Great Western Rail way ; he would, therefore, move that that Committee should sit notwithstanding the adjournment. After some observations from Mr. Roebuck, Mr. Robinson, and Sir R. Vivyan, Mr. Tooke withdrew his motion. The House then adjourned to Tuesday the 12th of May.

SUPPLEMENT - TO THE LONDON GAZETTE OF FRIDAY, APRIL 17. At the Court at St. James's, the 18th day of April, 1833, PRESENT, The King's Most Excellent Majesty in Council. This day the Right Hon. Henry Grey (commonly called Viscount Howick) was, by his Majesty's command, sworn of his Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council; and took hi, place at the Board accordingly. At the Court at St. James's, the 18th day of April, 1835, PRESENT, The King's Most Excellent Majesty in Council. His Majesty in Council was this day pleased to declare the Right Honourable- Henry Marquess of Lansdowne Lord Pre sident of his Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council, and his Lordship took his place at the Board accordingly. His Majesty having been pleased to appoint the Right Ho nourable Henry John Viscount Palmerston ; the Right Ho nourable John Russell (commonly called Lord John Russell) ; and the Right Honourable Charles Grant ; to be three of his Majesty's principal Secretaries of State, they were this day, by His Majesty's command, sworn three of His Majesty's principal Secretaries of State accordingly. His Majesty in Council was this day pleased to appoint the Right Honourable Charles Poulett Thomson President of the Committee of Council appointed for the consideration of all matters relating to Trade and Foreign Plantations. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, APRIL 18. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY took his seat on the Woolsack, in the absence of the Lord Chancellor, at twenty minutes to five o'clock. Lord BROUGHAM moved the judgment of the House in the Scotch Appeal case of Sharpe versus Sharpe, !n which his Lordship recommended the House to reverse the decision of the Court below. The Duke of Wellington entered the House about five, and took his seat by the Lord Chancellor, on the Woolsack, with whom he was for some time in close conversation. Shortly afterwards the Marquis of Lansdowne and Lord Mulgrave entered, and took their seats on the Ministerial Benches. The Earl of Aberdeen, the Duke of Buckingham, and the Marquis of Londonderry, sat on the Opposition benches. On the Ministerial side we noticed the Duke of Norfolk, the Earl of Albemarle, and Lord Charleville. —Lord Melbourne entered the house at ten minutes past 5 o'clock. The Opposition side of the House was crowded, but very few Peers occupied the Ministerial benches. The Duke of GORDON presented petitions from parishes in Fife and Roxburgh, for protection to the Church of Scotland. The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition from the Bishop of Chichester, praying for a private Bill. Lord BROUGHAM, who, after he had delivered his judg- ment in the case of Sharpe v. Sharpe, immediately walked over to the Ministerial side of the House, in his way bowing to the Duke of Richmond, and the Earl of Ripon, as inviting those Noble Lords who were sitting on the cross benches to accom pany him, presented a petition from the Ministers and Elders of the Synod of Johnstone, in Paisley, praying their Lord ships to resist any additional imposition for the support of the Church of Scotland. question like that in ordinary times might very well have been left without an answer—but these were not ordinary times.-4 Hear. ) The same Ministry when in power only a few months ago had the most determiued opposition of that Learned Gentleman, and they (the Ministry) denounced the Learned Gentleman in the King's speech in every thing but by name, therefore he now wished to know in what way and on what terms they stood with the Hon. and Learned Gentleman. It was impossible to suppose Mr. O'Connell would have withdrawn his opposition to that Administration, unless he was to be pacified in some way. ( Hear, hear.) The cause he asked the reason so early was, that that Learned Gen tleman only a few months ago, and for many months before, had lost no opportunity of stating his opinions with re gard to the Repeal of the Union, and the necessity of the destruction of that House. The Noble Lord then referred to Mr. O'Connell's letters to Lord Duncannon, and some of his speeches to the Anti-Tory Association.. He said that such language was not to be considered as mere words of course when coming from such a quarter—coming as they did from the powerful, Honourable, and Learned Gentleman ; they were pregnant with meaning, and he considered that the Noble Viscount under all the circumstances, was bound to afford the House all the information in his power. Lord BROUGHAM-1 wish to know if there was ever— Lord ALVANLEY—I merely put a question to the Noble Lord (Melbourne). Lord BROUGHAM—And that is the very reason I an swer it.—(Cheers, and cries of " Order.") Lord KENYON rose to order. The question had not been put to the Noble and Learned Lord. Did the Noble and Learned Lord rise to order ? Lord BROUGHAM—Most undoubtedly. According to the strictest forms of the House, I am right in speaking to order. How does the Noble Lord know that I did not mean to ground a motion upon the course taken by the Noble Lord (Alvanley) ? I interrupted that Noble Lord to call him to order; but when I got up, I understood the Noble Lord to say that he had done. Then I did not call him to order, but I craved permission of my Noble Friend (Melbourne) to allow me to advise him not to give an answer to the question of the Noble Lord, which for irregularity is utterly unprece dented in this House.—( Hear, hear.) The measures of the Government will show what course my Noble Friend has taken. Did any one ever hear of a Minister being called upon to tell whom the King meant to appoint to office, or what arrangements were in progress with a certain individual, and whether that individual had been gained over to the Go vernment ? I advise my Noble and Learned Friend not to sanction such questions by giving them an answer. Lord WICKLOW insisted that his Noble Friend (Lord Alvanley) was perfectly justified in putting this question, and the Noble and Learned Lord's (Brougham's) rising to order in this unprecedented manner was a most disorderly proceeding. Viscount MELBOURNE—Perhaps the Noble Lord was not greatly out of order in putting this question, but, at the same time, I think that the Noble Lord might have put the question in plainer terms, and not accompanied his question with a greater number of observations than is usual. The Noble Lord asks me how far I coin cide in opinion with Mr. O'Connell ? I do not at all coin cide vi ith him in opinion—.(Loud cheers.) It is im possible for any question to receive a simpler answer. The Noble Lord also asks me whether I entertain the same epinions which I did on a former occasion, which I apprehend to be when the Coercion Act was under consideration ? I answer him that I certainly do entertain the same opinions, and that I persevere in them.---( Hear, hear, and Cheers.) The Noble Lord also asks me whether I have taken any means to secure the assistance of Mr. O'Connell, and upon what terms ? I do not know whether I have the assistance of Mr. O'Connell or not, but I say most dis tinctly that I have taken no means to secure it—(loud cheers)—and I most particularly state, that I have entered into no terms whatever, or have said any thing, from which any inference can be drawn, in order to secure that individual's support. To the Noble Lord's question, therefore, I give a most decided negative ; and if he has been told any thing to the contrary, he has been told what is false, and without foun dation.—( Loud :cheers.) • The Duke of BUCKINGHAM trusted that the House and the people would be disabused of the impression that was abroad relative to the imputation that had been cast upon the present Government, of desiring to conciliate Mr. O'Connell. The Noble Viscount had distinctly stated that the same principles would be acted upon as he pursued before, when the Church question was under consideration, and that he was still determined to promote the interests and extend the usefulness of piety and true religion. Every one knew the cause which compelled his Majesty's late Government to resign— namely, the principle of appropriating Church property to secular purposes. He (the Duke of Buckingham) begged, therefore, to ask the Noble Viscount (Melbourne) distinctly and emphatically, whether he was prepared to bring forward a measure for relief from the grievances of the Irish Tithe System, and appropriating the surplus revenue to other than religious purposes. Lord MELBOURNE—It is premature to go into this discussion at prese.lt, for if we enter once upon it, we must take it up as a whole measure, and so consider it. This would be a most inconvenient course now to pursue; but I have no hesitation in declaring to the Noble Duke that I hold myself bound, and pledge myself to act upon the princi ple of the resolution adopted by the House of Commons. (The. Noble Lord made this statement with peculiar emphasis, which created a great sensation in the House, and was received with loud cheers.) The Marquis of I. 0 ND ONDERRY felt himself bound at the present crisis, charged as he was with a petition signed by 60,000 Protestants of the north of Ireland, to make a few observations on the present occasion, and he felt this duty more incumbent upon him, when he saw who was placed at the head of His Majesty's Government, and considered the opinions and sentiments that had been an nounced as to their intentions respecting the appropriation of Church property. Under the circumstances, however, he begged to give notice, that on the Thursday after the recess, he would with the permission of the House, present this important Petition to their Lordships. If he was to go further, and follow the example of the Noble Marquis opposite in commenting upon the compe tency of a Ministry, he might ask whether those who had obtained and held office only upon the forbearance of the Con servatives, or by the delusive promises held out to Mr. O'Connell, were competent to carry on the Government. He was glad to hear from the Noble Viscount that he had given a veto to O'Connell and his radical crew.—(A laugh.) Viscount MELBOURNE said that he had never used the word veto, what he said was, that he had taken no means to secure the assistance of Mr. O'Connell, nor hail he entered into any terms with him.—(lncreased cheering.) This he would positively say, he had never used the word veto, or ex clusion, and indeed should have been sorry to have emploicd them. The Marquis of LONDONDERY explained. He was sure that any Ministerial connection with Mr. O'Connell, or his tail, would be the curse of the country. ADJOURNMENT OF THE' HOUSE. Lord MELBOURNE observed, with respect to the ad journment of the House he had no objection to the adop tion of the course• which was proposed by the Noble Duke on the cross benches (Richmond), provided it was understood that no public business was to be taken before the 12th of May. The House then adjourned, as we understood, to April 30. HOUSE OF COMMONS, APRIL 18. The SPEAKER took the Chair at half-past three o'clock. CORK ELECTION. Sir JOHN BYNG the Chairman of the Cork Election Committee, brought up the report of the Committee, finding that the sitting Members, Colonel Chatterton and Joseph Leycester, Esq., had not been duly elected, and that Dr. Baldwin and Daniel Callaghan, Esq., had been ...duly elected, and ought to have been returned, but that neither the petition nor the opposition to it had been frivolous or vexatious. The Clerk of the Crown attended to amend the return, upon which being done, D. Callaghan took the oaths and his seat for the city of Cork. METROPOLITAN BOROUGHS. Lord BROUGHAM said he begged to take that op portunity of correcting a misrepresentation that had been made.—( Hear, hear.) He was not in the habit of troubling their Lordships with all the imputations that were made upon him; because if he were, he should have nothing else to do, and he conceived that he could em ploy his time far better, both with respect to himself and his country. But what he was about to notice was so important with respect to a late measure of the Government with which he had been connected, that he thought it necessary to take the earliest opportunity, after he had seen it, of giving it the most positive and decided contradiction. It had been said in a highly respectable work (London Review), that the Bill which he had brought in under the sanction of the then Government, for the purpose of giving municipal constitutions to the newly-created boroughs, was defective in some essential particulars, and that it was a very hastily-devised and ill-con cocted measure. It might be an ill-concocted measure ; it might be, for ought he knew, defective in some particulars, but it was not true that it was concocted or prepared in haste— that was positively and peremptorily contrary to the fact. Lord Althorp and himself, for months before it was finally settled that a Bill should be brought in, had given it great attention. It had occupied seven or eight skilful Commissioners, and the re sult of their report, of their own deliberations, and of the sug. gestions of all parties, was to bring in a measure of the description which had been proposed. He had only to add, that with respect to whether Aldermen and other Magistrates should be elected for life or not, he dis tinctly stated at the time he brought in the Bill, there were difficulties on both sides of the question, aad that he had not finally, or anything like finally, made up his mind upon that. The Earl of WICKLOW presented some petitions from Places in Ireland, in favour of the proposed measure of the late Chancellor of the Exchequer, in reference to the Irish Church, and against the proposition for applying the funds of that Church to any other than Protestant purposes. One petition prayed that if the latter measure should be car ried, they might be allowed the means of emigrating to some country where their property and lives would no longer be exposed to danger. Lord LANSDOWNE presented a petition from the City of Waterford, praying for some measure to prevent intimidation at elections in Ireland. THE NEW MINISTRY. Lord MELBOURNE rose and said—My Lords, I rise to address your Lordships for the purpose of informing you that his Majesty has been pleased to appoint me the First Lord of the Treasury, and that this day I and my Colleagues have received the appointments to our respective offices. With respect to the difficulties under which the Administration has been formed, and great and many they have been, some indeed of a peculiarly severe and mortifying nature, it is not now my business to say anything ; nor, indeed, need I say more of the principles upon which that Administration has been constructed than that they are those principles of reform and economy, which have been to a very great extent admitted and con firmed by all those who profess to be the true friends of the country, and of that kind of reformation which seeks to be strengthened and established by the good wishes of the people at large. In reference to those particular subjects which lately engrossed the attention of Parliament, and have been alluded to by some Noble Lords on the other side,-1 mean those measures which relate to Ecclesiastical Go vernment,—allow me to inform your Lordships, and therefore through your Lordships to tell the country, that every measure contemplated in reference to that subject, will hai , e for its end and purpose the promotion of true piety throughout the whole and every part of his Majesty's dominions. These are all the observations which I shall make on the pre sent occasion. In the pressing hurry under which these arrange ments have been framed, I apprehend that all the formal busi ness has not been brought before the House of Parlia ment ; and in order that that should be finished, it has been deemed necessary for that House to adjourn to Mon day next. Should your Lordships think fit to pursue that course, and that it appears necessary to meet on Monday next, I shall be prepared to make that motion,—but if not, I shall move the adjournment of the House to May 12. I apprehend under all the circumstances of the case--considering the great pressure of business that remains to be transacted, and that those who are to conduct the business in the other House cannot be in their places before that day--that your Lordships will not think the 12th of May tea long an ad jot.rnment. I shall, therefore, move that this House at its rising, do adjourn to Tuesday the 12th of May. The Duke of RICHMOND thought it was impossible that their Lordships could adjourn for so long a period. He would suggost, that their Lordships do adjourn to the 30th instant, with the understanding that no public business be transacted until the 12th May. It would be necessary to swear witnesses to be examined before the Committee on Secondary Punish ments ; and he therefore moved that their Lordships do ad journ to the 30th instant. Lord ALVANLEY rose and said he wished to put a question to the Noble Viscount before the motion of ad journment was put.--( Hear.) He wished to know whether the Noble Viscount bad or had not the powerful aid of Mr. O'Connell and his party.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") A EAST INDIA COMPANY. Mr. ROBINSON wished very shortly to call the attention of the House to the case of those officers of the East India Company who had been excluded from the grant of compen sation. It would be in the recollection of the House that , on a former day he had presented a petition from a nu merous body of the managing officers of the East India Company who had been excluded from compensation, and he had given notice on that occasion, that he would follow it up by a motion for a Select Committee to inquire into the subject as to whether the terms of the Act were of such a nature as to exclude the claims of those officers, and owing to the particular nature of the public business, he had not been able to do so ; and under those circumstances he wished again to bring the subject under the consideration of the House, as those officers were apprehensive thai they might suffer some disadvantage from the adjournment of the House before their case was fully laid before them. Under these circumstances only the petitioners presented their present petition to the House. The object of the petition was to state that the petitioners had exerted themselves by every means in their power to have reasonable compensation from the East India Company, Board of Control, and at the Bar of that House; but in consequence of the state of public business, it had been impossible to consider the claims of the petitioners, and therefore they had presented the petition. He (Mr. R.) stood in the House as the advocate of the petitioners, to beg that the House would allow the petition to be presented, in order that their claims might not be forfeited by the lapse of time. His ( Mr. Robinson's) opinion was, that the claims of the officers would not be priudiced by that circumstance. It was however a fact that these gentlemen had been excluded from any compensation whatsoever—their claims in his opinion were more deserving of consideration than many which had been favourably received. The petitioners did not dispute any claims that had been allowed; but all that they asked was, that their's should be considered by the House, before the East In dia Company finally adjudicated upon them. With respect to the motion of which he had given notice for a Committee upon the subject, he felt it his duty to postpone it, considering the situation in which the Government was at present placed. Mr. PR AED observed, that whatever disposition he might feel to do justice to the petitioners, he did not think the House could travel out of the Act of Parliament. He admitted that some cases were entitled to relief, but with respect to tEe mass of the officers who had signed the petition, they had nct been employed by the Company for 30 years. Mr. O'CONNEL L trusted that the House would take no positive steps without having the matter fully discussed. Mr. CARRUTHERS rose, when the SPEAKER made some ob servations which were inaudible in the gallery, but must hav e been for the purpose of putting an end to the discussion on this petition, as the subject was immediately dropped, and the petition was laid on the table. Mr. ROEBUCK complained that it was impossible to learn when bills were to be read, and that in consequence of the want of such information he had been prevented from making some observations respecting a petition from Canada. Mr. TOOKE presented a petition against the Greenwich and London Railway, and moved that it be referred to the Committee, and that the petitioners be heard by Counsel. THE LATE MINISTRY. Sir ROBERT PEEL entered the House at ten minutes past four o'clock. He first proceeded to the Ministerial benches, but immediately afterwards crossed over, and took his seat on the Opposition side of the House. ' As soon as the Members who supported the Right Honourable Baro net's Administration, and who were still sitting on the Ministerial side of the House, perceived this, they gradually left the House, and upon their return took their seats on the Opposition benches. For about half an hour after this, the House presented a very curious appearance. The Treasury bench and those immediately behind it were altogether unoccupied, while the Opposition side presented a dense mass of Whigs, Tories, and Radicals, mingled " in most admired dis order." A few of the Stanley section still retained their seats, and among them we observed the Marquis of Chandos and Sir Robert Inglis. THE NEW MINISTRY. At twenty-three minutes past Four, Mr. F. BARING en tered the House, followed by a large number of Members— the House was instantly in commotion—those' of the Reformers, who had taken their seats on their old side, moving over to the Ministerial side amidst loud cheers. Mr. O'Connell took his seat at the lower end of the Ministerial Bench. NEW WRITS. Mr. F. BARING then rose, and moved for a new writ for South Devonshire, in the room of Lord John Russell, who had accepted the office of Secretary of State. Also for the borough of Cambridge, in the room of the Right Hon. Thos. Spring Rice, who had accepted the office of Chancellor of the Exchequer. Also for the county of Northumberland, in the room of Lord Howick, who had accepted the office of Secretary at War. Also for the city of Nottingham, in the room of Sir J. C. Hobhouse, who had accepted the office of President of the Board of Control. Also for Manchester, in the room of the Right Hon. C. P. Thomson, who had accepted the office of President of the Board of Trade. Also for the city of Edinburgh, in the room of Sir John Campbell, who had accepted the office of Attorney-General. Also for Penryn, Cornwall, in the room of ➢7r. R. M. Rolfe, who had accepted the office of Solicitor-General. Also for Kirkcudbrightshire, in the room of the Right Hon. Cutlar Fergusson, who had accepted the office of Judge Advocate General. Also for the borough of Totnes, in the room of Lord Sey mour, who had accepted the office of Commissioner of the Treasury. Also for Newport, Isle of Wight, in the room of Mr. W. . Ord, who had accepted the office of Commissioner Qf the Treasury. Also for Stirring, in the room of Lord Dalmeny, who had accepted the office of Lord of the Admiralty. Also for the Elgin Burghs, in the room of Colonel Leith Hay, who had accepted the office 6f Clerk of the Ordnance. Also for the Borough of L?ith, in tliJ room of Mr John Archibald Murray, who had accepted the office u: Lord Advo cate of Scotland. - Also for the Borough of Dundee, in the room of Sir Henr:, Parnell, who had accepted the Treasurership of the Navy, and Paymastership of the Forces. Also for the borough of Cashel (Ireland), in the room of Louis Perrin, Esq., who had accepted the office of Attorney- General for Ireland. Also for the borough of Dungarvan, Ireland, in the room of Michael O'Loghlen, Esq., who had accepted the office of Solicitor-General for Ireland. Also for Clackmannan, in the room of . Admiral Adam, who had accepted the office of Lord of the Admiralty. The HoN. MEMBER then moved that the House, at its rising, should adjourn until Monday next, and stated that on that day he should move a further adjournment until the 12th of May next. The Hon. Member also moved that the appointment of the Mallo* Election Committee, which stood for the sth day of May, be postponed until the same period. Mr. HUME trusted that the whole of the Ministry had been formed, and that there would be no farther delay of public business. The House then adjourned. THE PARSONS.—The Law Church Parsons, who hold a commission to take their neighbours' property in the name of Christ, have been distraining for incumbent money. Several of our fellow-citizens have had their property seized, amongst them T. F. Carroll, Esq., of Lady-lane.— Water ford Chronicle. A friend asked Lord A-y what he thought of Sir Robert Peel's plan of Church Reform. " I think," said the witty Peer, " that the title, of one of the new Bishoprics is at any rate a misnomer, for instead of the Bishopric of Ripon, it should have been of God-rich.—Court Journal. ELECTlON.—Throughout the country, and espe cially in the county of York and Lancaster, the Tories are giving to their party as perfect an organization, in preparation for future elections, as money, zeal, and professional skill can give them. We are happy to say that preparations are making in Leeds and other towns to attend effectually to the register. Combination must be met by combination. The Reformers must unite and hold meetings. They cannot hold their hands with impunity.—Birmingham Reformer. TUNBRIDGE WELLS.--We are sorry to announce that this morning (Thursday) about half-past seven o'clock, one of the powder-mills in the neighbourhood of Tunbridge blew up, with a most tremendous explosion. The shock was distinctly felt in this place. We have not been able to collect the particulars, but we are sorry to say that two lives were lost.

NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING. Newmarket, SE:Rday afternoon. The races commence to-morrow, and, if we may form our judgment from the appearance of the list, and the immense num ber of horses in training, they cannot fail of realising a good week's sport.

Besides these there are nearly three hundred horses in preparation for subsequent events, all of which with the above mentioned, and a few other exceptions, are in good health. The ground is in tolerable good order, but the weather conti nues unsettled. Amongst the present arriv.als in the town and neighbourhood are :—The Duke and Duchess of Cleveland, Duke of Rut- land, Lord and Lady Chesterfield, Lord Uxbridge, Lord Charles Manners, Lord G.

Independent of the Great Produce Stakes (the two Riddles worths), which have been frequently noticed in our reports of the business trensacted at Tattersall's the Craven Stakes pos sesses unusual interest, as well as from the number of the en tries as from their includi ng th e ce l e brated Plenipotentiary, whose fame, as if the " B oo k C a l en d ar " was not sufli c i ent to insure it, is likely to be carr i e d d own t o posterity on the re cords of a Court of law. Ile is looking and going beautifully, but we do not hear that he has bee taking long gallops. Shi lelah, who ran second to him for the Derby, is in excellent form ;so are Flatterer, Glaucus, Nonsense. &c. The ra ce , therefore, cannot fail to prove highly interesting.

Grcville, Anson, Roberts, Elives, Berkeley, Craven and Mills. The Princes Esteilmy, Trantsmandorf and Lichtenstein are expected on Tuesday. We are enabled to state a most extraordinary fact connected with literature—that upwards of one million two hundred thousand volumes of the works of Sir Walter Scott have been printed and published in Edinburgh. Mr. Macready has been in town from Bath during the past week ; his speculation there, we regret to say, has not been snccessful; he has, indeed, up to the present period, lost a considerable sum of money. Mr. Green has also been sojourning in town from Bath during the past week.
