a pretext, except the occurrence of an event foreseen, and indeed imminent, at the time of that appoin•ment, without warning to any of its members, or to the country, is an event more resembling certain portions of the history of the Stuarts than anything that has occurred since the British constitution assumed a set tled form ; and this experiment, dangerous in the most ranquil times, has been dared at one of the most cri tical periods of our national existence, when all our fundamental institutions are in a state of transition — when questions are at issue which cannot be left un solved, and the solution of which cannot be effected without the certainty of some evil, and the danger of much more. It has been dared, after an alteration has taken place in our institutions, which has totally changed the depositaries of power ; which has made the House of Commons the real masters of the kingdom, and the people the real masters of the House of Commons ; which has enabled the different onstituencies of Great Britain and Ireland to de ;de who shall and who shall not be the Ministers of he Crown, by deciding who shall and who shall not be the representatives of the people. Such being the general features of the crisis, we will now proceed to consider its details. The Parliamentary part of the nation may be divided into six parties, of unequal num bers and weight. 1. The Ultra Tories, such as Lord Chandos, Lord Roden, and that class of political or religious fanatics. 2. The Moderate Tories, com prehending the Duke of Wellington, Sir Robert Peel, and their friends, or, to speak more properly, their followers. 3. The Semi-Whigs, such as Lord Stan ley, Sir J. Graham, Lord Ripon, and the Duke of Richmond—a party, if it can be called one, comprising individuals who have previously - belonged to some other party, and having been rejected by their former associates, meet to talk over their mutual grievances. 4. The Whigs, that is to say, the party now dis missed. 5. The Moderate Radicals, such as Lord Durham, Mr. Grote, Mr. Hume, Mr. Ward, and Mr. Warburton ; and, 6. The Ultra Radicals, with Mr. O'Connell at their head. It is understood that the first attempt to be made with the moderate Tories ; and accordingly the Duke of Wellington has been sent for. But as the moderate Tories alone are incapable of managing the House of Commons, in which they form a small minority, it is obvious that the Duke can do nothing unless some one or more of the other parties will join him. We will consider the proba bility of such an occurrence and its consequences, if it should oocur. The Duke may call in the Ultra To ries. The possessions of the Irish Protestant Episco pal Church must preserved untouched ; or rather the tithes, which they have ceased to possess, must be ex torted by military power, and restored by them. "As for the continuance of the tithe system," said the Archbishop of Dublin, in his evidence before the House of Lords, in 1832, " it seems to me that it must be at the point of the bayonet ; that it must be through a sort of chronic civil war." The claims of tke Dissenters to partici pate in the institutions founded by our fore fathers for the purposes of education, and to be al lowed to celebrate their marriages without an apparent assent to doctrines which they hold to be unchristian, must be rejected. Agriculture must still be impeded by the barbarous imposition of tithes—a species of endowment which seems to be intended for the pur pose of giving the least possible benefit to the clergy, at the greatest possible expense to the landlord, and with the greatest possible interruption of the relation which ought to exist between the religious instructor and his parishioners. C or p ora ti on R e f o rm—a reform second in importance only to Parliamentary Reform— must be abandoned. In short, the thing most difficult to effect, and most mischievous when effected—a counter-revolution—must be hazarded. We need not dwell farther on this part of the subject. A junction , of the Moderate and Ultra Tories is happily impossible. But the Duke is a bold commander. It is supposed to be possible that he may adopt the desperate course which he has been accused of having decided on in 1832. He may, it is said, ally himself with the Mode rate Radicals. He may coalesce with Mr. Ward ; he may support the celebrated resolutions, " That the Pro testant Episcopal Establishment in Ireland exceeds the spiritual wants of the Protestant population—that it is the right of the State to regulate the distribution of Church property, and that it is the opinion of the House that the temporal possessions of the Church of Ireland ought to be reduced." He may give to the 800,000 Protestant Episcopalians of Ireland a provi sion no larger than is found sufficient for the million of Presbyterians ; and apply the surplus to purposes of education, or to a provision for the Catholic Clergy, or to the general purposes of the State. He may grant to the Dissenters all that they demand, and for that purpose apply to the Church of England the principles he has recognised with respect to that of Ireland. He may, it is said, commute tithes, lay level the entrenchments of Corporations, and himself intro duce household suffrage, triennial Parliaments, and Peerages for life. We do not believe a word of this. Much as we differ from the Duke of Wellington in many respects, we believe him to be a man of sense, and a man of honesty. We believe that he has been conscientious in his opposition to all these measures. We believe that he really thinks, as he has always proclaimed, that they would be utterly ruinous. We believe that now, towards the end of his career, he will not sacrifice the fame of sixty years of eminent services, in order to obtain a year or two, not of power,—for a man who is forced to per petrate what he believes to be mischievous is the lowest of slaves,—but of mere official income and patronage. Nor do we believe that he could do it, if he were base enough to make the attempt. All that can be called his party would instantly revolt. Sir Robert Inglis would again raise his voice against the treachery of his former leader. He would have to encounter the vio lent opposition of the Ultra-Tories, the Moderate Tories, and the Semi-Whigs, the contempt of the Whigs, and the distrust even of his new friends, the Moderate Radicals. We could almost as soon con ceive his joining 'the Ultra-Radicals, and proclaiming universal suffrage, annual Parliaments, and repeal of the Union. A Moderate Tory Administration, therefore, is impossible. An Ultra-Tory one is, of course, equally so. But it has been supposed that an Administration might be formed consisting of Moderate Tories and Semi-Whigs ; an Administration which should comprise the Duke of Wellington, Sir Robert Peel, Lord Stanley, Sir James Graham, the Duke of Richmond, and Lord Ripon. Such an Administration would comprise per sons of great talents, experience, and rank. But it appears to us to be as impossible as a mere moderate Tory Administration. The - addition of the Semi- Whigs would add little to its numbers. It must, there fore, like a Moderate Tory Administration, coalesce with the Ultra Tories or the Moderate Radicals. If it were to join the Ultra Tories, it would be swept away by the first ten days of the present, or of any future House of Commons. If it were to meet the present House, either the Address to the Crown would request its removal, or the carrying Mr. Ward's or Mr. Har vey's, or some other equally anti-Tory resolution, would force its resignation. If it were to dissolve, its principal members, standing as members of a Tory Ad ministration, would be unable to obtain seats ; and if they did obtain seats, would scarcely find a more ma nageable House than the present. If, on the other hand, such a Ministry were to join the Moderate Radicals, it must make as great, or even a greater sacrifice of principle, than that which, as we have seen, would be required from the moderate Tories. Lord Stanley must introduce measures far more sweeping than those of which the mere probability forced his resignation. He must introduce an Irish reform far more extensive than that which " he never expected to see a Minister propose, he never feared to see a Parliament approve, and he was not sure that a King would sanction." Lord Stanley, however, is a young man, an ambitious man, and an imperious man. He might be willing to run the hazards of such a coalition, if it were pos sible—which we have demonstrated that it is not— that the moderate Tories should follow him. We equally deny the possibility of an Administration com posed of the moderate Radicals alone. With great respect for the talents and good intentions of that party, we regret to see them deficient in numbers, ex perience, compactness, and influence. They may be, and, we trust, will be, most valuable assistants to a Whig,,Government, but are at present un able" to - stand ,. txlone.

Pt THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1834 inconsistent with all probability, and supported by no appearance of evidence, we venture to express our distinct conviction that these statements will be found to be utterly , destitute of foundation. " The King," says the Times, " has taken the opportunity of Lord Spencer's death ,to turn out the Ministry ; and there is every reason to believe that the Duke of Wellington has been sent for. The Queen has done it all." " His Majesty," says the Morning Chronicle, " expressed no dissatisfac tion with Lord Melbourne's Administration ; but he let it be understood that he considered it at an end with the death of the late Earl Spencer, and the con sequent removal of the present Earl to the House of Lords." " His Majesty," says the Courier, "on learning Earl Spencer's death, is understood to hate sent for the Duke of Wellington, with the intention, as is supposed, of intrusting his Grace with the impor tant task of constructing a new Government." " The Ministers," says the Globe, " do not resign. The King has been, unhappily for the country, and for himself, advised to dismiss them." Similar assertions are made by the weekly papers, in which the principles either of the Broughams or the Durhams have been supported ; and insinuations are carefully interspersed of Court intrigues and Tory machinations, of military vio lence and female supremacy. The object of all this is to be convey an impression that the Melbourne Ministry, labouring under no difficulties, divided by no dissentions, perfectly prepared to serve the King, perfectly able to govern the country, has been, in consequence of the interference of the Queen and the plots of the Tories dismissed by the Sovereign. We repeat that we do not yet pretend to speakfronz autho rity; but we venture nevertheless to assert that the impression thus conveyed will be found to be wholly groundless. The Queen has not interfered ; the To ries have not plotted ; the Melbourne Ministry has not been, in the sense in which our Contem n poraries apply the words dismissed, by the Sove , reign. When the time shall come for an au thorized account of the transactions which have produced this unexpected result we believe it will be found that Lord Melboutne waited upon his Royal Master on Friday, not with any clear proposal for a reconstruction of the Cabinet, not with any dis tinct development of its intended policy, but with a lugubrious account of difficulties and perplexities, of differences and disputes. Perhaps it will appear that, instead of advising any specific arrangement upon his own responsibility, his Lordship suggested several, each for various reasons objectionable, for his Sove reign's selection ;—that instead of promising a future unanimity in the Councils of his Majesty, his Lord ship predicted serious .discrepancies .between his col leagues on most momentous subjects ; that, instead of readily proffering the continuance of his services, his Lordship announced that the discord which the re turn of Lord Althorp to the lead of the House of Commons had for a time stilled, had been revived by his removal to the House of Lords ; and that hence forth the task which his loyalty did not allow him to decline, would be an embarrassing and painful one. If such was the communication made by Lord Melbourne to the King, is it wonderful that the King should perceive that he could no longer expect firm and stable government from the coun sels of his present advisers ;—that he should at once, with the assent of Lord Melbourne himself, determine to place the maintenance of his people's interests in other hands ? And can we see anything in the com munication of Lord Melbourne but the act of a loyal and high-minded man,—anything in the procedure of the King but the decision of a resolute and sagacious Monarch ? Let the judgment of our readers be sus pended until the facts are known. If our hypothesis is incorrect of course the inferences we found upon it fall to the ground. If it be based on truth, what As Home Secretary, what was his conduct when ap- ' prised by the local authorities of the excited state of the populace, and the expected riots in Bristol ? Did he take those steps which a man of sound judgment would have taken, acting upon the wise and humane maxim that prevention is better than punishment ?, Every body knows what were the consequences of the week and vacillating policy which Government pur sued on that occasion, of the blame of which weak and vacillating policy the Home Secretary must bear his share. But if he were chargeable with strange remissness in regard to the expected riots in Bristol, he went to the opposite extreme in relation to the Cal thorpe-street affair. Here there was an over-rigour miscalled for and misapplied—in such a bungling manner was the campaign of the day arranged, that, instead of steps of quiet precaution on the side of tile civil power, there were acts of violent provocation—the new police, already sufficiently unpopular, were brought, unnecessarily, into increased odium with the people— more than one verdict of a Jury expressed what public opinion thought of the rash and unconstitutional man ner in which that force had been employed. A Go vernment that often gathered such laurels would at length be entombed under the weight of its own tro phies. In these matters we do not mean to say that Lord Melbourne incurs higher blame than what at taches to ignorance of affairs and want of judgment but this is enough to prove his incapacity for the high and difficult station of First Minister of the Crown.. We recur to those events which form part of the his tory of the Whig Administration, to justify our opinion that the loss of Lord Melbourne as Prime Minister is not a loss which the nation has any reason to deplore. Now, let us just glance at a few of the colleagues of Lord Melbourne, and see what grounds of confi dence the country ought to have in their wisdom and public virtue. The most eminent beyond all comparison is Lord Brougham, both for talent 1 and political distinction. Have the public any longer confidence in him ? We make no account of the splenetic and personal attacks of Lord Dur ham upon his quondam friend. We believe per sonal motive and ambitious rivalry have more to do with those attacks than any very disinterested concern for the public good. We do not estimate very highly the disinterested patriotism of the man who as sists to keep up the price coals while he calls out for a free trade in corn ; great must be the love of the poor and the working classes in the man who, to swell his already enormous income, enhances the price of such a necessary of life I We view the character of Lord Brougham, not through the distorting medium of Lord • Durham's angry speeches—we look to his own actions. '• During the last two years the keeper of the King's conscience has done little more than "blow hot and cold" upon all manner of important questions. Upon •. subjects in relation to which his opinions ought to have been fixed long ago, he has only displayed the fickle ' ness of his faith and the versatility of his talents. • Among them we may enumerate the tithe-question— national education—the criminal law—the comparative merits and utility of the Houses of Lords and Coin ' mons—and even reform itself. But we will take from a journal which, though Ministerial, is not servilely so, ▪ its opinion of the conduct of the Lord Chancellor. • Here it is : , "It is needless to speculate about the causes which have led to this threatening state of things. We have been well satisfied for some considerable time that the Ministry, as at present constituted, could not goon. The Chancellor has been, perhaps unconsciously, the grand ally of the Duke of Wellington. His uncalled-for declaration against granting a public stipend to the Catholic priests, and his shallow and in temperate abuse of a compulsory provision for the poor, show ed that he was totally ignorant of, and opposed to, the mea sures most essential to the prosperity of Ireland. His state ment that if little were done last session less would be done the next, roused the indignation of all ardent and sincere re formers ; and his intrigues and mountebankism' procured for him the dislike of his Majesty. There oould not, indeed, be a more revolting spectacle, than for the highest law-officer of the empire to be travelling like a quack doctor through the provinces, puffing himself and his little nostrums, and com mitting and degrading the Government of which he had the honour to be a member. His Majesty could not but be in dignant at such conduct. Asd it is a fact, notwithstanding all the fulsome adulation heaped on his gracious master' at Inverness, Aberdeen, Edinburgh, and elsewhere, that the pe ripatetic keeper of the King's conscience has not once been admitted, since his return from his travels, to the honour of an interview with Royalty, either at Windsor or Brighton." It is not necessary to inform our readers that we differ with the Courier in its opinions upon many sub jects, more especially as to the question of. Ireland, but in the above extract there are two opinions in which we entirely concur with that journal ;—one is, that the Melbourne Ministry, as lately constituted, could not go on ; the other, that Lord Brougham, in his late itinerant career of political and erratic spouting, brought discredit upon the exalted judicial station whose grave and solemn duties he had to administer, and at the same time did irreparable damage to the Melbourne Cabinet. But we ask why it was, if Lord Melbourne disapproved of the "fantastic tricks" played by the Learned occupant of the Woolsack, he did not take the obvious and convincing mode of disclaiming them, by recommending to his Majesty another Lord Chancellor ? While Lord Brougham remained a member of the Cabinet, and remained in it unreproved, we must take it that his public conduct was not disa greeable to the Prime Minister. The Globe—the most servile of the Ministerial journals—the unceasing panegyrist of the Malthusian Bill to grind the faces of the poor, and to drive the victims of licentious men to child-dropping and infanticide—the Globe, we say, puts on its weepers to mourn the downfall of the Melbourne Ministry. It wrings its hands in the wildest sorrow, and pours forth the burstings of its anguish between rows of " double leads." Alas I what is all this for ? Cannot the Journal of which Wellington was the idol until the Whia ° s came into office, ma ke him its idol once more ? But it asks, among other things, whether the bill for Negro eman cipation is to be worked by the supporters of slavery, and whether the reformers of the criminal law are to be worked by the advocates of cruel punishments ? It may be asked in return, who are they who have been lately flogging to death, and shooting refractory negroes in our West Indian colonies ? It may be asked who was he that stopped in the House of Lords the bills passed for the further amelioration of the criminal law by the House of Commons last Session ? As to the latter question, every person who recollects the history of the last Session can answer that it was Lord Brougham. With the Melbourne Ministry the country loses also the services of Lord Palmerston, as Secretary for Foreign Affairs, and perhaps his prospective ser vices as Governor-General of India. What a loss I How can the country ever get over it ? If he were only allowed to stay in office until he had settled the Belgic question by his protocols, he might have had a perpetuity of the place, and every day would England find that her interests and her commercial relations were more and more sacrificed to Russian ascendancy in the east of Europe, and to French intrigue in the west. As to Mr. Spring Rice, we consider him an industrious official, of small mind, and, like every red tapist, wholly unfit to fill any first-rate station in conducting the affairs of a great nation. As to Mr. Littleton, who, it now appears, was to have been the new Chancellor of the Exchequer, we refer for his character to Mr. O'Connell, who was enabled, dur ing that " confidential" intercourse which drove Lord Grey from office, to take a pretty fair measure ment of his principles and his intellect. As to Lord Duncannon and Sir J. Hobhouse, for their own cre dit, too little cannot be said about them. The job n ow going on at the Parliament Houses shows what cause the country had to place confidence in the " ra dical" Chief Commissioner of the Woods and Forests. It is a consolation to know that, whatever Ministry may follow, it can hardly be worse than the one that has gone. Of one thing we are certain, and that is, whatever Cabinet may be formed, and whether the Duke of Wellington, or Sir C. Manners Sutton, or anybody e l s e, may be at the head of it, all necessary reforms must go on. The abuses of our institutions must be removed, without disturbing the institutions themselves. If this were not the case, indeed, the Reform Act must he a nullity, and the Whigs, even in that measure, have practised a gross imposition on the people. If the will of the nation be heard in Parliament throu o h the Reform Act, it is impossible that any Ministers can oppose the rational and enlightened will of the country, and long remain in power. What the public wants is a Government that will care more for the im provement of the condition of the mass of the people than enriching its own sycophants and followers by all shall be said of the abominable meanness of those Ministers who, loaded as they have been with favours and honours by their gracious Master, have pro mulgated these disloyal and mendacious representa tion of the causes of their retirement from his ser vice ? Thus far conjecture ; —conjecture, however, not founded on light grounds, nor thrown out with out some warrant. What follows we state with more certainty. His Majesty, upon coming to the conclu sion that a total change in his Councils was at length unavoidable, determined to apply without delay to the Duke of Wellington. His Majesty's commands for the attendance of his Grace were conveyed to -London on Friday by Lord Melbourne himself, and for warded immediately to Stratfieldsaye. His Grace had an interview with his Majesty yesterday, and the ar rangements which the present position of the country makes desirable were discussed and concluded. We have room for but few remarks upon the awful crisis at which we have now arrived. It is a crisis which ought to awaken to serious reflections all those honest and honourable men who have hitherto deemed it their duty to temporise, to conciliate, to concede. Let them well consider the ground which they have already traversed, and that which yet remains to be trodden. They have been led—step by step—far beyond the limits which they originally assigned to their advance. The Ministers upon whom they relied for moderation and prudence have been removed, one by one, and their support has been at last extended to a Cabinet denuded of all that had rendered it in their eyes respectable. They had determined to con fide in Earl Grey, in the Duke of Richmond, in Sir James Graham, in Mr. Stanley. They have found themselves reposing a fearful faith in Sir John Hob house, in Mr. Littleton, in Mr. Ellice. Are they pre‘ pared for a yet further progress ? For they may be assured that the Cabinet which was dissolved on Fri day will never—can never—be re-constructed. The Opposition which is to be marshalled against the Con servative Cabinet will be an Opposition composed of all that is ruthless and reckless—of all that is unprin cipled. and unscrupulous. The Ministry which will be formed out of that Opposition--if that Opposition shall ever supply a Ministry—will be headed by Lord Durham, who is magnificently feasted at Glasgow, and guided by Mr. Ellice, who is " unfavourably known in the city." The question which is now to be decided is one of obvious and speedy arbitrament. Henceforth we shall.see marshalled in two camps those who are for the maintenance and those who are for the abolition of our Church—those who are for the preservation and those who are for the extinction -of our Monarchy. — Morning Post. The Melbourne Ministry, itself the offspring of an intrigue of which Lord Grey was the victim, has not long survived its own inglorious triumph, signalised as it was by the political extinction of the father of reform. At the time when the result of that intrigue, unsur passed for its baseness in the records •of political treachery, became known, we expressed an opinion of it and the secret actors in the plot, whoever they were, which we have had no reason to chancre. As long as truth and honour are held in any estimation among men—as long as ingratitude and circumvention for benefits received are not tolerated even by the relaxed morality of public life, so long will the " familiar" treachery by which Lord Grey was struck be held in abhorrence, and the sudden downfall of the Ministry that rose upon the ruin of their former and betrayed Chief be regarded as something like a stroke of retri butive justice. Even though the Melbourne Ministry had not been dismissed by the King, it was mo rally impossible that it could have continued for any length of time to hold together against the general opinion of its want of prin ciple and capacity. As' we said of that fantastic pro duction of Louis Philip's intriguing genius, which started into transitory existence in France the other day, the Melbourne Administration had the seal of condemnation stamped upon it from its birth. The disreputable intrigues in which it had its origin were not redeemed in any way by the talents which some times throw a dazzling lustre over an unscrupulous ambition. Its chief, an aristocrat of indolent habits and mediocre intellect, was raised to the proud position of Prime Minister of England, without ever having achieved any political distinction. If the vessel of the State, instead of struggling with the raging elements in leaky condition upon a lee-shore, were sailing in gay and gallant trim with favouring breeze upon a summer sea, even then, such a Palinurus as Lord Melbourne at the helm ought not to be trusted. What the broad sides of combined enemies could never effect, an unskilful pilot might accomplish, and send the Queen of the Ocean to the bottom of the deep. governing party, we need say nothing. There remain the Whigs ; and from the Whigs, _assisted by the Radicals, we believe that the materials of any Government that is to be stable, or even safe, must ultimately be taken. • Who shall be at its head,---whether Lord Melbourne, who, five months ago, was hailed by all the country as the fittest man, and whose character has, if possible, risen during those five months, is to be continued, or rataer replaced, and whether he will consent to that arrange ment, and on what terms ?—all these are questions of great interest, but not, we think, requiring present dis cussion. The Whigs will not be resorted to till all previous combinations have been tried, and found wanting. The next ten days—perhaps the next month—will be wasted in attempts to reconcile contra rieties : to make the timid bold, the obstinate comply ing, the decided inconsistent, and the base honourable. " Nulli sua forma manebit, Obstabitque aliis aliud, quia corpore in uno Frigida pugnabunt calidis, humentia siccis, Mollia cum duris, sine pondere habentia pondus." When every man who shall mingle in the intrigue shall have been sufficiently disgraced, when the country shall have sufficiently suffered at home and abroad, it will proclaim, with a voice that cannot be misunder stood or neglected, both the necessity of forming an Administration, and the mode in which that object is to be effected.—Morning Chronicle. The dismissal of Lord Melbourne's Cabinet lays a temporary obstruction, and nothing more, in the path of that great experiment which has been making during the last four years to apply to Great Britain the prin ciples and practice of a Government directly influenced by the people. The present is not the first unfortunate incident which has occurred in the course of this mo mentous trial. But the experiment is one which cannot eventually fail ; for the end is rooted in the heart of the nation, and happily, in the very first stage of the proceeding, the most ample means of ultimate success were provided for us, which never can, by any exer tion of violence or fraud, be revoked. But in the mean time, what dreadful evils may be perpetrated! Providentially, upon the means of practical good government Lord Grey's reform Cabinet was unani mous, at least its internal disagreements bore no visible fruits, and the Reform Bill itself, the key of power, became the law of England. The first Grey Cabinet broke up upon the extent to which the machinery furnished by the Reform Bill should be applied to the re-organization of the Irish church establishment. The chief of that Cabinet was hustled out upon another Irish question not ostensibly con nected with the church, and less through the positive treachery, we apprehend, than the meddling and mor bid spirit of intrigue inherent in a well-known person. It is not pretended by anybody, and we are sure it Would be most unjust to his Majesty to assert, that his objections to the continuance of Lord Melbourne's Cabinet were of a personal nature in so far as con cerned his Lordship. His Majesty is known, however, to entertain an aversion which amounts to absolute loathing towards one individual (by courtesy called " learned") of the late Cabinet. Respecting him the King makes no scruple of speaking out, as of an ite nerant mountebank, who has not only disgraced the Cabinet of which he formed part, but has dragged the Great Seal of England through the kennel, and de graded, by his unnumbered antics and meannesses, the highest office of the law and state in. England. We think it right also to take this opportunity of stating that the passage in the communication sent to us on Saturday morning relating to the Queen, has no foundation in fact. Her Majesty had not the slightest concern with this revolution in the Cabinet. Having without examination, and under the first ex citement of such extraordinary intelligence, published a statement which appeared to bear hard upon Her Majesty, we have sincere pleasure in giving it this de cided contradiction, and in declaring our belief that the Queen is not capable of any undue intermeddling with public affairs, or of attempting—what we are sure she could not accomplish if she did—to exercise any influence upon the mind of Her Royal Consort, in what relates to his sole authority as Sovereign. Now to the facts :—the Duke of Wellington has accepted office pro tempore—that is to say, he desires to reserve himself until the return of Sir R. Peel, who is at present abroad. It is be lieved that the Duke would be quite willing to enter upon the discharge of the duties of Secretary for Fo reig Affairs, and cede the post of Premier to the Right Hon. Baronet, if the latter should be disposed to take that high station in preference to any other. There is also no reason to doubt that his Majesty has ex pressed a strong and earnest desire that Mr. Stanley should be included in the Government. If these things be true,—and the authority upon which we re ceive them compels us to believe them so,—it is ob viously premature and unreasonable to declare that the Administration about to be formed will set their faces against all reform. Was Mr. Stanley opposed to all reform ? We do not say that he will choose to join the Administration ; but in the fact that the King desires that he should jo'n it, we think we can discover, without any affectation of sagacity, a determina tion in favour of, not against, the removal or the reform of abuses. But it will be said that the amount of the reform to be achieved is a most important consideration, and that the country will not be con tented with as little of reform as it got last session. We fully accede to this opinion ; but what did the Lord Chancellor tell the people in the north ? Why, that if little were done last session, less would be done in the next session. Was there anything very pro mising to the country generally, or to the Reformers in particular, in this ? We think not ; and we cannot discover the slightest ground for apprehending that, however ingeniously conservative the Duke may happen to be, he can possibly do less than Lord Brougham threatened to content himself with doing (vouching at the same time for his colleagues) in the next session of Parliament. Surely some of our contemporaries err exceedingly in supposing that any Minister can in these times put down reform, or that any man is to be found insane enough to let slip any opportunity of maintain ing peace abroad, and content, by economy and retrench ment, at home. Such apprehensions must be affected : no rational man can seriously entertain them. We have no fear (because the event is impossible) that the march of reform and of retrenchment can be impeded ; and we are confident that our friendly relations with foreign powers will be maintained ; for wantonly to disturb them would be to plunge the country in ex ' penses which it would not hear, and raise up to the Minister ad enemy on every square foot of ground throughout the empire. What the measures of the new Administration will be, no one, we suppose, will venture to predict. It should, however, be stated that the friends of the Duke of Wellington declare that he thinks " a great church reform necessary and inevit able:" and that, "generally, he will be found friendly to all sound and sincere reform." Time will show what is meant by these general expressions, but it should be recollected that they are neither more ge neral nor weaker than what the late Chancellor said about caution and temperance in reform, when at the dinner to Earl Grey he rebuked " the impatient urgers-on" of Ministers, and called up Lord Durham. We have little to add respecting the history of the late change. It is difficult, we think, for any one to believe that the dismissal of the late Ministers was not the re sult of a preconcerted intrigue : yet we owe it to fair ness and j us ti ce t o s t a t e , th a t men of high character positively assert that the fact is not so. They do not, however, affect to conceal that the change which has taken place has long been a cherished project of his Majesty. Lord Melbourne was the bearer of the King's communication to the Duke of Wellington. The Secretaries of State have already received an inti mation to attend the Council to-day for the purpose of delivering up the seals. Some people complain of this as rather sharp practice,--which, in truth, it is.— Times. The Melbourne Ministry is dissolved. The conjec tures which we hazarded on Saturday were indeed signally erroneous. Our contemporaries of the Times and the Chronicle, better informed concerning the movements of the Whigs than we can pretend to be, announced the extinction of the Administration while we were speculating upon the fashion of its recon struction. We will not affect to state, as from autho rity, the circumstances under which Lord Melbourne's Cabinet has fallen to pieces. But, finding certain statements in the columns of our contemporaries, manner of corrupt patronage and jobbing. The public wants a Government that will reduce to the lowest point the fiscal burdens of the country—ameliorate the laws—reform the financial system—support the inte rests of our commerce—and, while inspiring confidence at home, cause the name of England to be respected abroad.—Morning Herald. Thank heaven the King has dissolved his present Administration I He has dissolved it—if not of his own accord, at all events at the persuasion of his con fidential, but not official, advisers. Who these con fidential advisers are we neither know nor care. The result is the only thing to be looked at ; and that re sult has been matured, not for weeks only, but for months past I It was heard of 500 Miles off as far back as Tuesday last, three days before the event, as a thing regularly settled—that is to say, that the King wanted to get rid of the Whig Ministry. For this we pledge the honour of our Paper and that of our in formant I On Tuesday last it was distinctly declared in Aberdeen, as read from private letters, that Lord Brougham had tricked his colleagues,' and left himself, as the sand on the sea-shore, to be picked up by any one who might think it worth while to bid for him. We mention this circumstance simply in corroboration of the fact, that Lord Melbourne was not personally offen sive to the King; but that the whole affair was a matter of preconcerted arrangement. As to the Lord Chan cellor he may fairly bid defiance to his calumniators. We do not believe the trickery which has been attri buted to him by the Tory party in Aberdeen ; and which resembles the Tory party everywhere else. To Lord Brougham we give every confiilence. We have defended him, and we shall defend him to the last. It is impossible that he could be the fool to join him self with any Tory or any mixed Administration. If he does, let him go, as he deserves, to the wall. Henceforth, if he does so, we take no part with him, and we wash our hands of advocating his principles or his interests any farther. " Quenz Deus vult perdere." &c. Come we now to the test. Let the Tories try the collision which they provoke ! The Standard says, " The cry is the King." Folly it is—Kings are at a discount. Who for the sake of a useful re form, would bet a King against the people of England ? The revolution is now begun—the gulf is now yawn ing for the incremetion of coronets, sceptres, mitres, and titles. It is not the fault of the people that it does so yawn ; but they are impelled forward by a force whose power they have no means of controlling. " Forward! forward!" is the voice of England! instead of " The King," as the Standard says, the rallying watchword of the people of England is " Reform, and no Toryism." Let us be true to ourselves I The Morning Advertiser nails its flag to the mast. Since writing the above we have great pleasure in stating that the King has found out his error ; that the Tories are terrified at the day of taking power, and that the infamous game now to be played is that of forming a coalition Cabinet. The people of England are too honest to bear with any thing in such a shape. Up, all of you, men of England, and tell your King that you will have honest men for your governors ! Advertiser. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. ( From the Hampshire Telegraph.) PORTSMOUTH, Nov. 15.—The following extract from a letter just received contains, we believe, the latest informa tion from the coast of Peru : " ISLAY (SOUTH AMERICA), JUNE 13, 1834.—The Conway, 28, Captain Eden, left Valparaiso the 21st of May last, for the coast of Peru. When off the north point of the bay, she encountered a most tremendous gale, with un common heavy and sudden squalls, termed in these parts a %Northern,' which lasted nearly the whole of two days, and but for the superiority of the ship in beating to wind ward, she must inevitably have gone on shore, having but bare room to weather the rocks. She arrived at this place (Islay, the seaport of Arequipa) on the Ist of June, for the protection of British interest, a most violent contention having taken place between the old and uew Governments of Peru, during which a battle was fought on the plains of Arequipa, which has put the revolution for the present at an end. Nearly 1,300 men were left dead on the field ; but the troops of General Gomero, after gaining the victory, actually fled, panic struck, to the Government of Arelogoso, and the General San Roman and Gomero were obliged to seek shelter in Bolivia. Though rival collisions are very frequent every respect is paid to the English and their in terests. The Conway expects to be at Valparaiso the be ginning of September, when the Samarang, 28, Captain C. Paget, leaves for England. The Challenger, 28, Captain M. Seymour, is at Callao, collecting freight for that ship. The Conway expects to leave the Pacific for England in May or June, 1835. This ship is quite healthy." Yesterday the Sardinian frigate Regina, sailed for Sheer ness. The Tweed, Captain Hamilton, came into harbour on Monday, to be paid off. At Spithead—Waterloo convict ship. In Harbour—Victory, Excellent, Royal George, Sala mander, Tweed, and Braganza, Portuguese frigate. On Tuesday the Waterloo arrived from the river to em bark passengers for Van Diemen's Land.

The College of Surgeons have recently given notice that in future they will require from all medical students design ing to pass an examination before their corporation, the in denture of apprenticeship, register of birth, certificate of moral character, and preliminary education, and attendance on public dispensaries in the neighbourhood, if such exist. These must be registered at this time for examination two years hence, or, ijfact, as soon as they commence attend ing lectures in London. — PROMOTIONS AND APPOINTMENTS.—Lieutenant Hon, P. P.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY IN THE REGENT'S PARK. On Friday evening, about five o'clock, as Mrs. Wilks, the Lady of a Gentleman of large fortune, residing in Avenue Villa, Regent's Park, was proceeding home unattended, when near the Marquis of Hertford public-house, which is situated in a secluded part of the above Park, she heard the footsteps of a person stealing softly behind her, which she supposed to be those of a female ; but scarcely had she tittle to turn round when, greatly to her surprise and terror, an ill looking fellow darted suddenly upon her, and seizing her by the arms pinioned them behind her, and thrust her person against some iron railings. The villain having thus secured his victim drew a large case knife from his pocket, which he brandished aloft, swearing that he would murder her instantly if she refused to deliver her money, adding that money he wanted and money he would have. The terrified Lady im plored him to spare her life and he should have all she posses. sed, and she instantly delivered to him her silk purso, contain ing cash to some amount. The fellow did not appear satisfied, said he would have more, and again brandished his weapon aloft, at which the Lady shrieked, when fortunately at this instant footsteps were heard at a distance, and the fellow made off with his booty, leaving the Lady more dead than alive. Mrs. Wilks described the fellow as short and thick -sot, wear ing a formidable pair of black whiskers. Information was conveyed to Inspector Jones of the S division, who has been indefatigable in his endeavours to apprehend him, but without effect. . POLICE INTELLIGENCE• or MANSION-HOUSE.
