By the Overland Mail from India we have re ceived news from Canton of the 19th of May, from Macao of the 20th of the same month; from Calcutta of the sth, from Bombay of the 19th, of July ; from Alexandria of the 20th, and from Malta of the 26th of August. Captain ELLIOT was temporising with the Chinese authorities, and had succeeded in obtaining the shipment of eleven millions of pounds of tea. Before the end of the month he expected to be able to export an equal, or even a still greater, quantity. As British goods were no longer in demand, all the teas purchased were paid for with hard cash. In the meanwhile the Chinese were making Tore- parations for war—troops were arriving in g reat numbers is Canton, and in; an attack on the Bri tish factory was appreheaded, Captain EL LIOT had ordered the .Mgcrein and Modesto to station themselves so close as to cover the factory with their guns. The EMPEROR was re ported to be furious. On the arrival of KESIIEN, the late Imperial Commissioner at Pekin, his Majesty ordered him to be cut in two halves right through the middle for having allowed the English to capture the Rocca Tigris forts. Another of his Councillors having recom mended peace with the English had his flesh literally torn bit by bit off his 'bones, and thus died in the greatest agony. In an Imperial decree the EMPEROR, alluding to the dispute with England, tells his subjects, "Let the two words make peace find no place in y our hearts,. nor ever give them any form b writing Court -favourite The Minister and. Court 'favourite Hoo, and the EMPEROR'S youngest brother, MEEN FIJ NG, have received or ders c: t o journey in all haste, tra ve lli ng d ay and night, at the head. of 50,000 invincible war riors, to Canton, to execute the vengeance of the son of heaven upon the English, not dalowin , a but sweeping - diem clean single ship to esc a p e, from the face of the seas, in order to till the Im perial mind w ith gratification." ills JESTY, in another decree, says that - if H oo and MEEN PIING are not successful he will take the field in person, and not only make an end of English guilt in China, but utterly extirpate the English name in India and England. British authorities in India were preparing to save the Em'E'Eaolt the trouble ofmarching so far as Canton for an interview with the " red-bristled barba rians." Sir HENRY POTTINGER, the new Pleni potentiary, and Admiral Sir PARKER, Com mander of the 'orces, embarked from Bombay for China on the 17th of July. They .were to commence the war with China with the strict blockade of the whole western and southern coast. They were next to occupy the is rand of Amoy, which is said to be ex ceedingly salubrious, and thus cut off all inter course between China and the rice granary, Formosa. A part of the squadron was to pro ceed to the mouth of the Peih 0 River, and 'thence make a dash upon the capital. The appearance of POTTINGER, PARKER G , on- Dorm . .BRiEMER, and, the Blue Jackets at Pekin, will flutter the celestials more than the capture of twenty provincial towns like Canton and Nankin. The expedition is rather directed against the Government than the peo ple, who, proVided they remain quiet, are no t to sustain any other injury than what the blockade may inflict. Wherever they manifest a disposition to encourage commercial inter course with the English, orders have been given to treat them with the greatest kindness. The ex-High Commissioner LIN is restored to the Imperial favour, and it is said to be by his advice that the EMPEROR has proclaimed an exterminating war against. England. He also it wits that procured the inhuman butchery of the unfortunate KESHEN. The EMPEROR'e adoption of LIN'S counsels will yet ccst him his Crown ; for the war once begun in earnest England will stop short of nothing less than the de thronement of the reigning Sovereign. , We have even heard it stated, in quarters likely to be well informed, that the British Government has al ready contemplated the overthrow of the Tartar dynasty in China. From India the news is rather discouraging. The Schah of Herat, KAMRAN, after vir tually expelling Major TODD from that city, acknowledged himself the vassal of Persia. Herat and Ghorian, which it has cost us such immense subsidies to save from the grasp of Persia, are now voluntarily delivered up to her by a traitor, for whose defence England spent in works alone thirty lacs of rupees. It is possible that we may have to expel KAMRAN, and occupy Herat and Gho rim' in -the name of the Schah Colonel WYMER, of the Bengal army, sig nally defeated a great portion of the Aff ghan tribe of the Ghiljies, but from the Bonibay correspondence, found in another co lumn, it would appear that the origin of the dis affection of this tribe is attributable to the rash ness of a British officer. From a report generally credited in India, that Lord AUCKLAND had demanded a reinforcement from the Ruler of the Punjaub of .10,000 Siekhs in conformity with an article in the late Treaty, it would seem that the occupa tion of Herat is really contemplated by the Anglo-Indian Government. This would be indeed a bold measure, and one which would be likely to embroil us in a quar rel with Russia. Notwithstanding the return of the British Ambassador to the Court of Teheran, we regard a war with Persia as an event by no means distant. Sir HARFORD JONES BRYDGES, for several years Ambassador at the Court of Teheran, calculates that be tween the years 1809 and 1838, Persia cost England two millions and a half sterling, and yet what but hatred have we gained by this immense outlay ? Persia never has been, and never will be, anything but the tool of Russia ; and, there fore, whatever language she may hold—the enemy of England. Let us then not deceive ourselves, nor at .any time be unprepared for the worst that can happen. We are not aware of the reason which the Globe has, when it enters into a somewhat elabo rate criticism of our opinions, for refusing to name The Sun. Such silence is hardly fair to other journals, for it niay perchance happen that other Radical colleagues of the Globe may get the dis credit of saying those unpleasant truths of the MELBOURNE Ministry which are fbund only in the columns of The Sun. In our journal of Tuesday last, in speaking of the Whig Ministry, we endeavoured to distin guish between their conduct as Ministers of the Crown and as chiefs of a party, and while we de fended them, as we generally have defended their conduct as Ministers of the Crown, we did not and could not defend their conduct as chiefs of a party, continually struggling for ascendancy against another great party of the State. While we cheerfully admitted that as Ministers of the Crown they had deserved, in comparison with oth4 ,Ministries, the public approbation, we contOnded that as chiefs of a party they had. failed in their duty to that party. We said that "they wanted an efficient, ambitious, and vigorous party chief. Lord MELBOURNE'S sincerity and good nature unfitted him for the office." The Globe says Lord MELBOURNE will receive this censure as a compliment. We meant it neither "as a censure nor as a compli ment, but the statement of a fact. Sincerity and good-nature, says the Globe, are, after all, not. so entirely at a discount as to have lost all application. But (hey require in a statesman to be under the guidance of discretion. Lord MELBOUICSE was 'Perfectly sincere--that is, he expressed the opinion which he honestly entertained at the moment when he denounced those who wished all protection to be removed from agriculture as madmen ; but the mischief which that unhappy, though sincere phrase, has done to the party and the cause of which Lord MELBOURNE was the leader, is in calculable. Lord MELBOURNE was perfectly sincere, we have no doubt, when he praised the purity of the Corn-law making Lords, and emphatically disclaimed the opinions of the anti-Corn-law press, and the Manchester Conference ; but by so doing he gave an arm into the hands of his opponents to wound his own best supporters and friends. The Noble Lord wanted, in these cases, and a hundred others we might quote, discretion to guide his sincerity ; and though he did the public ser vice no harm by his somewhat foolish outbreaks of sincerity, he inflicted great injury on his party Again, "Lord JOHN RUSSELL," says the Globe; " has been unavoidably resolute, to say what he thought on the great fundamental principles of policy and of the Constitution." " Those who have strong opinions," it is added, " will utter them." And we question whether their utterance can hurt the good cause in the long run. Of course not the cause to which the opinions are favourable; but when Lord J. RUSSELL, being the leader of the movement party in the House of Commons, ad vocates finality, he utters a strong opinion in fa.vour of Toryism, and separates, by a word, nearly half the great party from him, which he ought to have bound together by all politic means, if he - wished to preserve in his hands the Government of the country. So, in respect to Mr. WAKLEY, the instance we quoted before. Lord J. RUSSELL felt, no doubt, very strongly, a sentiment of contempt for Mr. WAKLEY, when he spoke of him as a metropolitan demagogue; but it is evident, from the last speech of the Hon. Member for Finsbury, that he never for got nor forgave the sneer, and he retorted it, with tenfold interest, on the Noble Lord, mak ing both the Noble Lord and his measures look contemptible in the eyes of the Radicals, whom Mr. WAKLEY can influence, and who were numbered amongst the supporters of the Whigs. It might be very magnanimous in I Lord JOHN RUSSELL to despise the Hon. Mem ber for Finsbury, but to express that sentiment was most injurious to, the party of which, .Lord JOHN RUSSELL Wits the head in the House of Commons. We are ready to repeat, therefore, calmly and deliberately, our charge against the Whig Mi nisters, that as chiefs of a party they either mis understood or neglected their duty to that party. The result is that the party has dwindled away, and they are turned out. Never in the whole course of his existence did Sir ROBERT PEEL insult the meanest member of his party in the way that Lord JOHN RUSSELL insulted Mr. WAKLEY, and never did Sir ROBERT PEEL de nounce the opinions of his followers and sup porters, and praise those of his opponents, as did Lord MELBOURNE. Snell conduct on their part is not inconsistent with the most righteous and wise administration of public affairs, but it. was ruinous to the party of which they were at the head. The Globe thinks such sincere speaking will not injure the good cause in the long run. We know not what good cause it means. Is the Whig cause not the good cause? It has'injured that past immediate cure. We think progressive re form and the repeal of the Corn-laws the good cause, and no person can doubt whether that cause has been injured by the conduct and language we have adverted to. If Lord MEL BOURNE and Lord JOHN RUSSELL were not sin cere, as the Globe implies, when they placed themselves at the head of the movement party—if they were always for finality, and no further reform—we must affirm thattheir sincerity in now and then uttering a strong opinion does not equal their practical insincerity. They placed themselves at the head of the movement party, while in essential matters they were not different from the Tories. And now let us say a word to tho Globe itself. We believe with that journal that sincerity is not at a discount in this country, and therefore we believe that its occasional mode of mocking at all great interests, particularly at the working classes for their political aspirations, has not served the Whigs. It has made the working classes say again and again, what dif ference is there between this brutal persiflage and that of the Tory journals, and what better, therefore, are the Whigs, who tolerate and en courage it, than the Tories? After the avowed and determined neglect of party by the Whigs, we know nothing that has injured them with one class of the public more than the misdi rected wit of such journals as the Globe. The advent of the Tories to office like, the ac cession of a new Sovereign, seems to fill nearly all parties but their immediate opponents with hope. Like every such change, its effects cannot be known; at the same time great evils are suf fered, and therefore from it great good is ex pected. Even the grimmest of the grim Radi cals in the Houk of Commons,, such as Messrs. WOOD, WAKLEY, and ROEBUCK, look smilingly on the new and portly Premier, and promise him in the name of their universal suffrage-seeking, bread-tax-abolition-demanding constituents, a fair trial. A fair trial, not at the Old Bailey, but for the exercise of their skill in the public streets of a band of pickpockets. While this de lusion lasts, though we believe it will be very short, it seems to be in vain to say ought against the Ministers. Daily do we incur re proaches for not joining somewhat in the general joy, and expressing something like adhesion to, and confidence in, the Tories. Some Ministry, it is supposed, is indispensible ; the Whigs deceived us, and therefore now let us turn with hope and love to the Tories. We can not give in to that doctrine. We admit the ne cessity of a Ministry ; but we cannot for one mo ment be contented with a Tory Ministry, nor give way to the delusion that it can confer be nefit on the country. Before we can hope anything from such a Go vernment we must forget the conduct of the Tory faction for more than half a century. We must forget, too, how they have now obtained power, and for what purposes they hold it. We must forget that the men who compose it— KNATCHBULL, BUCKINGHAM, GOULBURN, HAR DINGE, PEEL, STANLEY, GRAHAM—are one and all the representatives, not of men, but of prin ciples, and they stand up before the community the avowed advocates of hypocrisy, fraud, and terror, as the means of governing mankind. Because the Whigs have done wrongs have de ceived our hopes, have fatally convinced us that we erred in trusting them so much, arc we at once to worship the incarnation of all those principles we condemn them for approaching? If, indeed, the faults and offences of the Whigs should have swept all respect for political principles out of the public mind, as if there were no right nor wrong but what is made by Whig and Tories, their Administration will turn out infinitely more calamitous for the coun try than could be supposed. But whatever may be the feelings of gentlemen in Parliament we are sure that such is not the case in the empire, and whatever may be the momentary feeling a sturdy love of honesty and rectitude, a sturdy love of principle, and a steady conviction of its invincibility, will make the people hope nothing from the Tories, and use all just and reasonable means to throw off a Government which is esta blished to maintain an odious monopoly. It is impossible to look at the list of the Tory Ministry, composed of BUCKINGHAM, KNATCU BULL, and the renegades STANLEY and GRAHAM, without instinctively concluding that such a Ministry is intended to work mischief. They are elderly men, hardened in the way of Tory ism, or young men who have expressed extreme Tory opinions. Messrs. ROEBUCK and WARD may hope for living birds from addled. eggs,-for a healthy offspring from a worn out and withered nymph of the streets; but let them not hope to obtain public benefits from a Tory Government, founded on an avowed and. lawless desire to plunder and oppress the people. We see no reason whatever for giving such' a Government a fair trial,. and we are astonished that the re presentatives of Sheffield and Bath can for one moment think it possible that their constituents will approve of their looking with the least de gree of favour on the Starvation Ministry. The Gazette and the Court circular both an nounce officially the formation of the new Mi nistry, and our readers will find them in another part of The Sun. Several of the chiefs yesterday transacted business at their offices and fairly launched the Tory ship. Whither she is to steer, and what port she is destined to reach, cannot yet be known. Her pilot has not told us his inten tions; but it is customary to judge of the probable voyage of a vessel by her fittings and her crew. We, therefore, have no manner of doubt as to the buccaneering cruise for which the Tory ship is prepared, but we apprehend her crew are likely to quarrel amongst themselves, and that the trade wind of public opinion will drive her out of her intended course. In plain terms, the Ministry is composed of anti-free-traders, and the demand for free trade is so strong in the country, that Sir ROBERT PEEL, however resolute he may be, will palter in his career. Then the BUCKING.. Rams and KNATCHBULLS will forsake him, and he must coalesce with the Whigs, or retire to that private life which he will, we have no doubt, so well become. The article which we have copied from the Times, relative to Lord CorrENnmn, is very Cre ditable to that journal, What is said of the Noble and Learned Lord is not one word more favourable than lit deserves. There never was a Judge in the Court of Chancery who gave more satisthction to all classes, or who more rigidly and unostentatiously performed his duty. If the Tories do not regret the change, the suitors most probably will, and all reasonable men will find in the displacement of so eminent a Judge, a strong o,Aditional reason for separating the judi cial from the political functions of the LORD CHANCELLOR. It is a disgrace to our customs and institutions that the first Judge of the land should be treated as a political partizan, and changed with every temporary victory of rival factious. Thus Lord LYNDHURST, says the Times, has been thrice placed on the Woolsack, which means only that the faction of which he is a devoted par tizan has been thrice in office. Since he was first placed on the Woolsack, fourteen years have elapsed, and four times within that period has the Chief Judge in Equity been changed on the victory of one political party or the other. At this moment there are three LORD CHAN CELLORS alive—two pensioned, and one on the Woolsack. The system is extremely bad, and the public, will now be made painfully aware of it by the removal of so excellent a Judge as Lord COTTENHAM, whatever may be the talents and acquirements of the man who supplies his place. Lord COTTENHAM was never distinguished by any outrageous political sentiments. His suc cessor was, in his younger days, more than a Whig, and in his latter days is more than a Tory. It is one of the unhappy auguries of this fatal Administration that its first law officer, its great Judge, is the declared and hated enemy of eight millions of his fellow-subjects. We know not whether Lord COTTENHAM will not in the end be more regretted as a politician, even than as a Judge. The whole of the French Journals of Thurs day have reached us, but the principal intelli gence they bring was anticipated iu our Afternoon Edition of yesterday. We subjoin extracts from them We have a letter from Toulon of 28th August, which says : 7 - - " It is announced that several vessels are about to go to Port Vendre, to take on board another regiment, which is to be conveyed to Africa, " The vessels which lately left this . port, with the &3d THE SUN, - LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPTEIVII3ER 4, 1841 Regiment of the line, are to bring back from Algiers the 23d of the line. "It is to be regretted that these changes of the troops are mad© at this season. We have remarked with regret that the regiments sent to Algeira generally take the field as seon, ng they arrive. Thus the 16th Light Itt , font: - . ) :* - and the 56th of the Line, which arrived it the spring in the pro vince of Oran, were immediately included in the column which burnt Tedekempt and took Mascara. The conse quence was such as might easily have been foreseen. These regiments, which had not had time to get accus tomed to the climate, had a much greater number of sick than the other corps. The same thing will happen to the regiments which are now sent to take part in the autumn campaign. It seems to us, that on the return of the expeditions, the regiments which are to come back to France should be sent home immediately, and replaced by others, which would have some months to be inured to the climate. This would be the more easy as there is no deficiency of means of conveyance. The Dedon frigate, lately arrived from Candia, has just received orders to be ready to put to sea at the first signal. We hear that it is to go .to Brest to take on board troops for the colonies. The Styx steam-boat is to take on board the Commis sioners who are to report as to the state of defence of the coasts of Provence. A telegraphic dispatch announces that the Dcdon left Toulon for Brest on the 30th of August.—Le Commerce. The Observateur cr Avesnes mentions the suicide of a person of that town, by cutting his throat with a razor. He had previously been seen by his wife with a pistol, and dreading, as they were on bad terms, that he in tended to shoot her, she sought her safety in flight. He left a letter in which he announced that he had really intended to murder his wife and his son, and it appears that this was fully his intention, for a few days before his suicide, a little brass cannon was found on the bed of his child placed so as to kill it, and which had been fired, but without effect. It appears that the mind of the unfortunate man had been much affected by the calumnies of a servant whom he had turned out of doors. "At Aspelaer near Alost," sa y s th e C onst i tut i onnt i , ." there is no w living a family of four persons whose united ages amount to 357 years. Three brothers in it are of 93, 90, and 86 years respectively, and a sister is 88. The youngest brother is postman of the district, and often walks five or six leagues. The father of this race of Methusalems died at 99." A letter from Florence, 22d ult., says :—" Prepara dons are making here for the third meeting of Italian savans. This scientific congress is likely to be still more numerous and brilliant than those of Pisa tuld Turin, the Governments of Rome and Naples having re moved the prohibition to the visit of the professors of those states. Several learned foreigners are expected, and we also hope to see those distinguished men Oriuli and Libri, one of whom is in Greece and the other in Paris. The congress will open on the 15th of Septem ber, with a grand mass at the church of Santa-Croce, after which, the members of the congress will meet in the great hall of the Palazzo Vecchio. The opening speech will be made by the Marquis do Ridolfi, the Pm sident, and immediately afterwards, the Presidents and Secretaries of the different sections will be chosen. The Grand Ducal government is doing everything in its power to promote the object of the congress. The library, museum, &c. of the Ricardi Palace (formerly the Medicis) and all the public establishments, will be opened to the members. Several fetes will be given during the congress." The evening before last, as the servant of a money changer, named Guiteau, on the Quai Pelletier, was putting up the shutters, an enormous stone was hurled against the window, and completely stove it in, while a head was put through the window and seized a bowl of gold. Mme. Guiteau, who was in the shop alone, hurried to the door and called out " Thieves 1" but all around the entrance were too much engaged in picking up some pieces of money which had been scattered about, to at tend to her cries. The rogues had collected a tolerably good booty, when two sergens-de-ville came up and stopped further depredation. Fortunately the driver of a fiacre on a stand near the spot marked two men as the chiefs of the attempt, pursued them, and succeeded in securing one who held in his hand a cap, into which he had emptied the howl from the window, with 2,000 francs. This fellow, who gave his name as Felix Bandier, is not more than nineteen years of age. His confederate, Beau vais, who as we ll as hi mse lf was employed as shopman at a wine -dealer's, has since been taken, and proms to be about the same age. They are both committed for trial. The changer's total loss will not exceed 300 fr. The fete of St. Cloud commences next Sunday, and will last three weeks. On each Sunday the Grandes Eaux will play, and the Royal Manufactory of Forcelaine at Sevres will be opened to the public. We understand aat the " lighWingered gentry" made a plentiful harvest at Versailles and St, Germain on San , day last. It is generally asserted ttib &VedallollB have been principally by a party of the English swell mob, now on a professional trip to Paris. The police, how ever, are on the alert, but they candidly acknowledge British supremacy in this branch, the French pickpocket being a mere barbarian in skill as eompared with the ac- Lomplished artioges front the tither side of la Manche. Two eged persons at Granges, in the Haute Saone, have met with a melancholy death. One of them, a fe male, who was 75,, had been drinking brandy freely, and, haring approached Cie hearth, set fire to her clothes, and rushed screaming into another room, where her husband, who was paralytic, was sitting in an arm-chair, wrapped up in a counterpane, The old man was not only unable to render any assistance to his wife, but also to prevent the fire communicating to his own clothes. Before as sistance arrived the wife was quite dead, and the old man died almost immediately afterwards. The exhibition of the works of students of the Ecole des Beaux Arts (landscapes) will take place in that ih• stitution on this and the two following days from ten to four, During the last month the Paris Savings' Bank re ceived 3,400,340 fr. from 24,257 depoAtors, of whom 3,124 were new, and paid 2,346,000 fr. out. The wheat harvest is now all got in round Paris. The crops of various kinds still on the ground are stated to be inAtnusually good condition. The official table of the prices of wheat in the French markets, made up to the end of last month, show the highest to have been 21fr. 47c. per hectolitre in those of Mulhausen and Strasburg, and the lowest 17fr. 14c. in those of St. Lo, Paimpol, Quimper, Hennebon, and Nantes The autumn meeting of the Paris races in the Champ de Mars will commence on Sunday, the 19th instant, when the two special prizes will be run for. On Thurs- , day, the 23d, the principal prise for horses four years old and upwards, and the royal prize, will be contended for; and on Sunday, the 26th, the principal prize for three year olds and the grand royal prize, According to a new regulation by the Minister of the Interior, the run ning for the principal prize for four year olds and up wards will be confined to one course of four kilometres, instead of three heats of the same distance.

" Who runs may read." pORIMEGN. Important news from China of the 20th of May and from Bombay of the 19th of July will be found in an other part of The Sun. The details are interesting, but they occupy so much space that we cannot give the sub stance of them in our summary. Captain Elliot has managed to procure 11,000,0001b5. of tea for ready money. The Emperor threatens the extermination of the English barbarians. The French Journals of Thursday are occupied with the resignation of the Whig Ministry. In the Debats we find the following remarks on the retiring speech of Lord John Russell :—" This speech was, in our opinion, admirable in every respect, and we can easily understand. the applause from all parts of the House, when the most eminent man of the Re form party spoke in few modest, but dignified words of the zeal, disinterestedness, and purity of the motives which had guided him in the discharge of his public duties. It was one of the old friends, but now the warmest opponent of Lord John Russell, who replied to him by a well-merited eulogium upon his character and talent." • The Courricr Francais, hitherto so violent against the Whigs, pays them the following parting compliment : " The dishonest conduct of the Whigs towards France shall ' not prevent our acknowledging that the chitracter of most -of them, viz., of Lord Melbourne, LOrd John Russell, Lord Morpeth, Lord Lansdowne, Lord Clarendon, and Mr. Labouchere, is as wor thy of respect as their talent is -of admiration. We bestow unqualified praise upon the reply of the Queen to the Address of the House of Commons, in which 4she expresSed her desire to follow the advice of her Parliament, and said she would imme ,diately adopt measures for the formation of a new Ministry. The Queen thus recognises that it is the majority which makes and unmakes the Cabinets. She merely looks upon herself as the execu tive of the decisions of Parliament. She does not allow her private predelections to interfere, and gives up her own convictions. For her the sovereignty of the people is not a vain word. Her example ought to find more imitators in France." The Constitutionnel also has the following remarks on the care taken by all parties to disconnect the Queen's name with the dissolution of the Whig Cabinet : What is most remarkable in the proceedings in the House of Commons is the care that has been taken on both sides to disconnect the Queen from the political struggles which have led to the resignation of the Cabinet. This solicitude of all parties in England to respect royalty, and keep it unconnected with parliamentary conflicts, is an example which it would be well to follow in this country, where, unfortunately, royalty is so frequently made the object of discussion." PUBLIC OPINION. The Morning Herald is deliiihtedvriiitthe new Minis terial appointments, as will be seen by the following passage :—" The appointments already made carry with them every promise of stability, permanency, and public concurrence and sanction. From Lord Ellenborough we - shall be justified in looking for the speedy establkh meat, in our Indian dominions of a less dangerous, less ambitious, and less encroaching policy than that which has placed such vast interests in jeopardy for the costly indulgence of a spirit of territorial ag grandizement. In Lord Lyndhurst we may safely look fir all the learning, uprightness and dignity, that can adorn the highest judicial station ; in the Cabinet or on the Woolsack—for all the in tellectual power, the nervous eloquence, and perspicuous statement which can give effect to the most enlightened views of political wisdom, and beneficent legislation."— The allusion to the " uprightness" of Lord Lyndhurst, who has been jumping "Jim Crow" throughout the best part of his political life, is a high joke; and not less ab surd is the complimentary reference to " mme elephant" Ellenborough. As for the Ministerial appointments car rying with them every promise of stability, they carry with them nothing but a promise of discord and disunion. The Post congratulates the country on the accession of the Tories to office in these terms :—" We have now a Government of sufficient strength to carry into effect what it determines upon, without the help of agita tion,' previously got up by the violent language of news paper partisans, or the rabid ravings of itinerant lec turers. Whatever may be known, then, of the general principles of the new Government, and of the probable scope and tendency of its measures, no very specific in formation can be expected, until it is necessarily brought forward in the official form. We shall now have an actual Government, and not a scramble of all sorts of powers Pnd influences, regular and irregular, resolving themselves into an eccentric course of political expe tirtiehts," --- Vetinote the following from the Chronich :—" We hope that the rule td the 'Tories will soon be at an end. For much as we may consider a modification of our tariff to be imperiously called for, in order to save the best interests of the country, we also feel the value and the importance of such a modification being effected, hot by a sullen and unfavourable Administaation, but by one hearty toivartis its support. The Tories have ousted the Whigs tin the question ; but if the Tories take up the Whig question of Commercial Reform, they at once sin against public faith and morality, and also rouse the country gentlemen." — The great objection to be urged against the new Admi nistration is, that whatever reforms it undertakes, it will undertake in a stillen and reluctant spirit. It will not go cordially or strenuOttsly to Work ~but will do no more than it can possbly help. Every Merril will have to be wrung from it—every concession it makes to public feel ing, will be made with a wry face, as if it were swallow ing so much physic. In a word, the Ministry can only be liberal in the enlarged sense of the term, by sacrific ing all consistency. - The Times is by no means so positive on the subject of the honest intentions of the Peel Cabinet, as It was Ohne days sinc e . Inste a d o f s t a ti ng it b roa dl y as a fact, it now contents itself with a modest 113pe, that the Ministerial policy will be " a just and humane one." What, is; there a screw loose already ? Has our Con temporary heard it whispered that the Tories are likely to stick firm to their old creed, and scout all substantial Reform as an absurdity ? We feel strongly disposed to think so, or otherwise the Times would scarcely have ventured to indulge in these somewhat distrustful observations:— " It now appears as certain as anything human can be, that the Administration of Sir Robert Peel will experi ence no obstacle either in the Court or in the Legisla ture ; but will be enabled, calmly and at ease, to de velope its entire policy. May that policy be a just, an humane, a truly Conservative one ! -For we can hardly express our sense of the calamity which would befall the country should the Ministry now about to assume the Government disappoint the hopes which the peopl e h ave beets led to form..

The Times, alluding to the departure of the new Mi nisters from Claremont yesterday, indulges in the fol lowing subtle and sagacious re.nark :—" It continued to rain at intervals and look &tan - , until the period when the Duke of Wellington and Si: Robert Peel passed through the gates of Claremont in th:3 capacity of Mi nisters of the Crown, and at that moment . 7ve observed the first sun-burst." This evident sympathy on the part of the sun with the new Ministers, is very credittible to the feelings of that illustrious luminary I It scorne,l to show itself while the Whigs were passing out, but reserv . , -41 its smiles for the Tories. Two men, under sentence of transportation, attempted to escape from Roscommon gaol by disguising them selves in female attire, and boring a hole in the wall ; but they were discovered and their escape prevented. A lady of distinction walked through the market at Tuam last week, dressed with an old quilt as a mantelet. This extraordinary exhibition was made to win the wager of one pound. An enormous skate was sold on Monday in the fish market at Ghent, measuring six feet square, and weigh ing 1751b5. A Derby paper, after stating the illness of a young woman, named Emma Torr, aged 18, says that her mother gave her an emetic, when to the astonishment of her mother, and others who were present, she ejected a live frog. It was picked up and put into some •water, but did not, live more thnn an - hour and a half. The learned of the place supposed that the frog must have been generated in the stomach, she having eaten some watercress, and probably at the same time some frog spawn. Sir William Follett is said to be the purchaser of the Collaton Kirkham estate, the property of Mr. Montague Parker, the late Tory Member for South Devon.

Viscount Morpeth, it is stated, after visiting Dublin will immediately go on a tour of several months in Canada. SIR CHARLES NAPIER AND " THE VINDICATOR." We have received a letter from Sir Charles Napier, complaining of an undue assumption on the part of the Vindicator, which, by a recent advertisement in The Sun, claims to itself the right and title of "Essay on the Poor-laws," as - having been written by the Gallant Officer " expressly" for that paper. This deception Sir Charles Napier exposes, and we quote that part of his letter explanatory of the original destination of the Essay, and in whose hands the true copyright exists:— Sin—The Essay on the Poor-law was written for a law institution in Dublin, and afterwards given to the Editor of the Dublin Citizen, in which periodical it was published last month. The Editor also struck off some copies for distribution, and from one of those copies the Editor of the Vindicator printed and published my essay. I gave them the printed copy, but the assertion that I wrote the Essay expressly fur their paper is a deception, and I beg of you to expose it as a matter of justice, both to me and to the Editor of the DzttEn Citizen, whose copyright is thus appropriated by the Vindicator.
