ALARMING STATE OF CHICHESTER AND ITS NEIGIIBpUR11001), Cram oum, cutunzarEa CORRESPONDENT.) CHICHESTER, HOV. Last evening a man of gentlemanly address, appear ance, and appointments, well mounted, and in all respects appearing of the better class, was apprehended at Nut bourne, near this city, and brought here for examination Wore the Magistrates, on suspicion of being one of the 'promoters of the mischief which has lately occurred in this district. The examination Wai strictly private, and the result has not transpired, further than that a ennimu nielttioll on the subject was last night sent off to the office of the Secretary of State. The man is a stranger, and I understand that he refuses to give any account of himself, or cannot do so vatisfactorily. He is detained. (rant ANOMIR CORRESPONDIM) The state of this city and neighbourhood has consi derably improved in tranquillity since Friday evening. Yesterday (Saturday) the depot of the 52d Regiment of Infantry marched into our barracks, and this - afternoon the Dragoons are also marched into the barracks, where the troops of the 2d Life Guards have been lying idle during the whole week, the Magistrates having found the civil power quite equal to preserving the peace, and the au thorities are quite in the dark as to the motive of Govern ment sending these troops here, where they will be useless, or even worse than that, for it is well known that the ap pearance of the military oftener leads to a breach of the peace than preserving it in these feuds; for in no instance are the agricultural labourers disposed to riot or mischief if we except the destruction of machines. A practical il lustration of the great majority may be instanced in the ap prehension of a ringleader on Thursday morning last by a party of yeomanry and special constables, headed by his Grace the Duke of Richmond, who, on addressing a large party, requested they would state their grievance., when the individual in question behaved in a most riotous and insulting manner, exclaiming O No geolitl"—" No psi. owners !" &c. lee. When his Grace asked if the langu ige was fitting to be addressed to him, the whole exclaimed " No, no !" and he was instantly taken into custody, with the opposition of only a single individual out of 300, the whole of whom declared their willingness to wept any Vrrns the Duke should make in their behalf. Nor have the real agricultural labourers required more than any rea sonable nun would give, viz., from 10e. 6d. to 14s. per week. That the state of excitation in which the neigh bourhood (we may say the whole country) has been placed has been the means of bringing into action a set of most worthless characters it cannot be denied, as on Sa turduy eleven of the most desperate were committed to Petworth llridewell for trial, who, during the night (Wednesday), bad extorted money from several farmers and gentlemen at riosham, Fishboarn, &c., under the threat of burning down their houses in case of refusal ; but no fire., nor any destruction of property, has occurred ; and this day (Sunday) all is perfectly quiet, and, in short , a little inquiry would show how contemptible is the force of the rioters. On Friday morning, the parish officers of Westbourn met in vestry. The mob were drawn up in the village, when they were separately asked if they were volunteers or pressed men, when eleven only admitted they were volunteers, and on the arrival of the Magistrates and special constables, a short time afterwards, six of them withdrew their plea of being volunteers, and declared for being pressed men. Thus one of the most formidable forces, and one having done the most mischief said at one time to exceed 600, were dispersed in a fee; hours. The neatest praise is due to the authorit i es in C hichester, who have taken every precaution to preserve the peace. Up wards of 500 special constables for the county, end nearly as many for the city have beers sworn in, and every thing is now perfectly tranquil. The appearance of the military is deprecated by all, and hopes era entertained that some inquiry by the higher powers will And out at whose insti gation they were sent, far that they are not wanted all ad mit. A police-officer from London arrived in this city en Saturday morning with, it is raid, a warrant from Sir Robert Peel, against an individual who has lately been residing a few miles out of the city, and he was appre bottled, and a very private examination took Ante at the Council Chamber, before Lord G. Lennox, us late as 'nine o'clock on Saturday night, but nothing has been suffered to transpire. But whispers state the individual to be the person who calls himself " Swing." He is detained in custody wt t he inn. Mr. R. Roper, of the town clerk's office, left fur London at twelve o'clock en Saturday night, eoppois,d to be connected with the apprehension of the admeas individual, end to report the state of the city and *eight-saw hood, Not a single fire has taken Ova within milse!of air:hobo CHICHESTER. .(From the Portsmouth herald of Saturday.) Those only who are aware of the usually peaceful cha racter of Chichester, can duly appreciate the excitement and alarm into which the city has been this week thrown, by the breaking out, in our immediate vicinity, of that spirit of discontent amongst the labouring classes which ' has led to such fearful disorders in the more distant parts of the country. During the last fortnight, threatening letters have been received by revere! farmers in the neigh bourhood, and considerable apprehension was created by these and other symptoms of an impatient and turbulent disposition ; but it was generally hoped that, as the at. tension of all persons interested had been so forcibly called to the subject, some means would have been devised to check the progress of these% Unfortunately, however, the difficulties of the case were too great for speedy adjust ment, and the contagion, under the powerful influence of mischievous example, has almost reached our very walk. Since Monday bun our neighourbood, on every side, has been in a state little short of open rebellion, the discon tented labourers having risen in large bodice, and, forcing all who came int their way to join them, gone from place to place, demanding that the rate of wages should be raised. Their proceedings have net been coafined to this, for they have visited most of the gentlemen's houses, by night u well as by day, extorting money and provisions. They have destroyed all the thrashing machines they mild find, and have openly threatened to fire the premises of all who refuse to comply with their demands. In consequence of this alarming state of affairs, Lord George Lennox left London late on Tuesday night, and arrived here early on Wednesday morning, to attend a meeting of the Magistrates at the Council Chamber.— While the Bench were deliberating, information was re• caved that a body of men, amounting to nearly 400, were assembled in the neighbourhood of Goodwood. This in. telligence eauied universal alarm, which was rather in. creased by the am; dad state of the streets (it being market-day), and it was seriously apprehended time mob would enter the town, particularly as it bad been remarked there were loitering about great numbers of strange men who did not appear to have any business, The Magis trates immediately adopted the most prompt and at the same time cautious measures. A communication was made to the officer commanding the detachment of Dra goon Guards at our barracks, requesting him to be in readiness to afford assistance if neeessaty—hut it was re solved in the first place to have recourse only to the civil power, and to try the effect of quiet remonstrance.— Accordingly about fifty of the farmers and other gentlemen of the neighbourhood were sworn in as special constables, and, attended by these, Lord George Lennox, and three other Magistrates, went out to meet the mob. They came up with them at Biathlon, and after sonic conversation, in which the !Magistrates pointed out the illegality of the course which the people had adopted, and advised' them to represent their grievances, whatever they might be, through their parish officers or the Magistrates, the men were prevailed upon to disperse quietly, upon an assurance that their affairs should receive immediate and coded consideration. A mob isolhicted at Pegharn was in a similar manner dispersed ; hut in the count, of the day nu. meroue bodies again collected, in various quarters, and visited the principal gentlemen's bermes in very formidable array, demanding provisions and money, which were in moat eases given them through fear. it would be an endless task to enumerate all the instances of this enuree of extortion which have been communicated to us. ()pier two of the most prominent features are sufficient. Ledy Henry Howard's house, at AltiitighOarae, was in the afternoon surrounded by about two hundred men, who pe remptorily demanded money ; there were no gentlemen in the house, anti the terror of the belies may be easily ima. gibbed At tide juncture a friend of the family, the Rev. William Sergison, happening to arrive, sod that gentle man, by reutming with the mob, induced them to depart, neon much easier terms than was expected, they having, after much parley, agreed to be content with thirty shit. lino, which sum Mr. S. gave them, with an express protect against the illegality of the proceeding. It ap pears that these wend mobs did not disperse during the night, but continued in large bodies, regaling themselves et the public-houses round the neighbourhood. About three o'elocit in time morning the bowie of Laredo, Esq. of Salt-hilt, wax surrounded by ahlAtt three, hundred mete who demanded five pounds, with a threat of setting fire to the premisee. Lorele i after in vain endeavouring to argue them out of their purpose, was induced ur give them two pundit, with which they promised to be eatiafitd. They, however, went immediately to his barn, broke it open, end totally de4toyeti the thrashing machine., sifter which they deperteth Soon after day=light inquiry cv,e, Net on- toot throughout the surrounding country, and after mane honra' search, eight young men, suspected of Wirer concerned in the outrages, were apprehended at a public-house at Ifainpnett. They were brought up in custody to the Council Chamber, where they were exa mined by the Magistrates, and after a long investigation re manded, and sent to Petworth gael, to be brought up again this day. They 'are nearly all inhabitants of Chichester. About eleven o'clock on Thursday morning, information was brought to the Council Chamber, that a large body of men were as;iembleil on, Boxgrove Common, and were making towards Goodwood. The Duke of Richmond, who had come from London on Wednesday, and was pre aiding at the Bench, instantly took horse, and set off to meet them, accompanied by upwards of fifty of the gen tlemen who had been sworn as special constables. On approaching the mob the Duke halted his party, and went forward alone to address the men, lie pointed out the mischief and folly of their conduct, advised them to rely on legal means, and on hie assuring them that the Magistrates would attend to their complaints if made in a proper man ner, his Grace prevailed upon the majority of the crowd to diverse. Some few, however, were obstinate, and it was found necessary to take into custody one who ap peared to be a ringleader. Three or four attempts were made to rescue him, without, hoWever, any actual fight ing, but he was brought to Chichester, and, after an exa mination before the Magistrates, remanded until this day. in the course of Wednesday night the farmers around Boehm were visited, and all the machines that could be found were destroyed. Similar outrages. were committed in other quarters during the night; and on Thursday all the machines in Emsworth were broken up by a nume rous mob who committed this violence in the open day, without appearing to care for any consequences. At their sitting on Thursday the Magistrates agreed to resolutions, stating their readiness to attend to any complaints pro perly laid before them, but that nothing coming from a mob would be listened to, and that it was their determi nation to take the most active measures for the punish ment is all breaches of the ptiblie peace. Yesterday a large hotly of men asiembled at Westbourne, and went about destroying machinee, and committing the most dar ing outrages. Several of them have been taken into cus tody, and brought to Chichester for examination. THE REIGN OF TEIIROII.—The following placard has been profusely posted on the walls of this town :—" Buildings wanted to hire for short periods,— Large anti spacious buildings or houses in Manchester or its immediate vicinity. References to be left with Mr. LAVENDEB, at the Town-hall." We do not exactly know wl►at this means, but we do know, that most dishonest efforts are making in certain quarters to misrepresent the state of this town, which never in our recollection was quieter.. We publicly warn the Boroughrseve and Con s►ables to beware of being duped, and we warn poor owl friendless men to beware of spies. There are some scoundrels abroad, to whom and to whore employers we beg leave to say that 1830 is not 1817 nor 1819,—Man cheater Times. WINCHESTER, Nov. 20.—Petitions to both Houses of Parliament are now in course of signature, from the inhabitants of this city, for the abolition of negro slavery in the colonies, which have been numerously and respectably signed. In consequence of the alarming state of things in this neighbourhood, a requisition, signed by the ptineipal clergy end inhabitants of this city, was yesterday presented to the Mayor, who appointed a meet- ing to be held at the Guildhall this morning at eleven o'clock, at which resolutions were passed, requesting the inhabitants to support the civil authorities in preserving the peace of the city ; also, that every inhabitant house holder should enroll himself as a special constable, to act in case any tumult or disorder should occur. The parish of Barton Stacy was last night, between eleven and twelve o'clock, thrown into the utmost alarm, in consequence of a fire breaking out on the manor farm of Sir H. W. Wu.- SON, Hart. of Drayton-park, which destroyed the whole of the buildinge, consisting of three barns, in which were about twelve sacks of wheat ; one rick of clover, one of hay, a granary, and other out-buildings. The numbrr of people assembled at Mieheldever, Stratton, and other villages adjacent, yesterday airnottoted to 14 or 1500. They visited every farm-house in the neighbourhood, where they destroyed every machine they Came in contact with, besides levying contributions on the occupier. It was generally believed, that they would have visited this city to-day, but up to the present moment, (three o'clock) we are perfectly quiet. We have just hesrd that serious riots have occurred at Andover, where several men have -beret glut* injured. It is also reported, that a fire w ee observed last night, in ,the direction of Newbury; and another in the direction of , Southampton. The farmers at Ramsey, arid its neighbourhood, having received letters threatening the destruction of their machines, they antici pate it visit shortly. Various reports arc afloat, that an ativit on the wont) , Jsridewell, is projected.— Portsmouth Herta LEWES, Nov. 19.—Between twelve anti one o'clock this morning, the extensive premises of Mr. Mounts, of Southover, were found to be enveloped in flames. The alarm was given immediately and the engines were stem applied, but not time enough to prevent an immense sacrifice of property, The roof falling in flames on a bay-rick close by, soon caused the destruction of that and another situated near it. Two long rows of hovels neat. fell victims to the flames; fortunately, how ever, owing to the great promptness and exertions used, all the cattle were led out, except one calf, which was literally roasted to death. A waggon. shed was completely destroyed ; only the four walls of the barn are now stand ing, which are expected to fall' every minute. The loss is valued at $OO/. and unfortunately the premises are not insured. The fire lasted exactly twelve hours, and it was with► no small feeling of satisfaction that we saw all classes labouring, indiscriminately, to extinguish the flames. The proprietor is by no means in affluent circumstances, and has always borne a most excellent chat acter, and es pecially as regards liberality towards his labourers. No N apa ran he imagined for this diabolical act. To-day a Meeting has bon held at the County Hall, for the ... purpose of putting a check, to these destructive proceedings. The town is at present in a complete state of fermentation, and wilk o he so, we have no doubt, until the offenders are brought to justice...4Portsmouth Herald. PETWORTH, Nov. 19.—A fire broke Mit on Monday morning about three o'clock, on the pre* ites of Mr. Jowl' SICINNIN rnallatnr and farmer, in the parish of Arrhington, and consumed about two loads of thrashed and about two loads of unthrashed wheat, and also about two loads of unthrashed peas ; the barn, aart house, a rick of hay, waggon, dung-cart, and other im plements were also totally destroyed. Had it not been for the great exertions of the people, the malt-house, with a quantity of malt, together with a wheat-rick and several stai•ks of hay, must have been consumed. Fortunately there was a good supply of water, and in a short time a great number of persons collected, who were all very ac tive and attentive in endeavouring to subdue the flames. It appears that a ball of fire was seen by Mr. StlNNEn's carter to come through the roof of tha barn and ascend like a rocket, as he came out of the stable twar the barn. Two explosions were heard as loud as the report of a gun, and the barn became immediately in flames. The pro perty burned at Watersfield, as mentioned in our last, be longed to Mr. Inc, not Mr. Neat, as stated. There has beep a great deal of excitement here in consequence of ' the near approach of the incendiaries, and of a threatening letter, addressed to the Inhabitants of the town, having been picked up, and of the poor in the neighbouring parishes of Pulborough, Wishorough Green, and fliliings• , horst, having assembled in great numbers and demanded an increase of wages. The only instance of dissatisfaction shown by the poor of this town was on Sunday morning, by two of the worst characters in the place, who after having in the course of Saturday night spent their week's, earnings, went to the overseer in abeastly state of drunken ness, and deniauded money of him. They were examined before a Magistrate, ami committed to the House of Cor•• motion. A vestry walk held hem, on Saturday last, when a liberal sulheriptien was entered into for establishing a system of guas - ding the town, and all the towns in the parish: The wages of the parish labourers have also been increased tat such a sum that ►t is thought there can be no reasonable ground for complaint. There have been no less theta fifteen persons brought to this House of Correa rection within these two days, from Chichester and other j►lades, for breaking machines, issuing seditious hand bills, Etc.—Portsmouth Herald. The narrative of Captain ALEXANDER'S recent travels to the seat of war in the East, lays D► pt? sinned much debate at the different club houses.

After a speech from the throne, all harshness and menace; after the disappointment from a non-fullilment of the only pro mise of concession that speech contained; after the Duke of Wellington's declaration against reform in any shape, and of his belief that our representative system is the very model of per fection; after Sir Robert Peel's refusal to say whether any re. duction of taxes was contemplated ; after the attempt to involve a popular King In the Unpopularity of his servants, by advising him not to entrust himself amongst the loyal inhabitants of his own capital; after such proofs of opposition to the will of the nation on the one hand, and of blundering imbecility on the other, who Is there that will not rejoice to hear that Ministers have resigned P (From the lialjfax Chronicle.) It was evident to every one that the Duke's popularity was on the wane, before the extinction of the last Parliament. Having concentrated all the powers of Government in his own person, he took credit for every good measure, and incurred the odium (individually) of every questionable one, which originated - with the Cabinet. Relying upon the good opinion of the country, and regarding that as altsufficient to keep the administration afloat, he selected his favourite adherents rather for their de votion to his person, than for the possession of talents and qualities which might render them independent of his power. That good opinion deserted him at the very moment when he imagined that his power was most firmly consolidated. He lost his hold both on Parliament and the nation by the very means which he took to preserve it. In his anxiety to secure his majorities he opposed the strongly expressed opinions of rational and re. fleeting men upon financial retrenchment—upon Parliamentary Reti Im—and upon other improvements in the general system of government In one word, the Duke fell under the overwhelm. ing power of public opinion. (From the Liverpool Journal.) The Duke of Wellington and his colleagues have been driven from office; and never did less regret attend the retirement of Ministers who had done so much good for the country. That the Wellington administration have been the authors of great poli tical benefits, there is no one who will be hardy, enough to deny. The questions which frightened former Cabinets into abandon ment of office or principle, they carried with a tact and decision which leave behind them a sense of national gratitude; but their subsequent conduct—their wilful blindness to the spirit of the age, leads us to conclude that the great measures of religious liberty were snore the result of a happy resolution, than the na tural of bct of political sagacity, At the moment, however, the public never stopped to investigate motives, and, in the excess of their gratitude and admiration, they attributed to the Premier mental and statesman-like qualifications, the went of which time only made apparent. Whatever good the Wellington admint. stration may have eflbcted, its incapacity to manage ttpa Whirs of the nation is no linger doubtful ; it could not furnish it financier who could make himself intelligible, and with the exception-of Sir Robert Peel, whose services, we trust, are not last to the State, there was not a tolerable speaker to be found un the Tres sury benches. The prospect of a more liberal Ministry seems to have given great satisfaction to the country. The funds con tinue steady, and it is said that even rustic courage, at the intel ligence, was suspended in its dreadful course. 'There can be no doubt that the change will prove beneficial : the age requires a liberal spirit in the Legislature, and the retirement of a Ministry wedded to exploded doctrines is an event at which this country and Europe may well rejoice. We do not deceive ourselves by supposing that the new Cabinet will respond very (Idly to the po. pular voice; but of this we are certain, that it will not despise it. (From the Cambrian.) Reetomerrox OF MINISTBRS!—To all who could read the signs of the times, it was obvious that the Ministry could not hold to gether much longer. Every movement of his Grace plunged him only deeper in the mire, He experienced the mortification of perceiving that those for whose sake he covered himself with ob loquy by his declaration against Reform, either from disgust or want of confidence in his ability to retain office, shrunk from his invitation, and left him to encounter alone the unpopularity he had hazarded. Had his Grace resigned only half a year ago, he would have received credit for higher talents and more wisdom than he really possessed. His fate ought to be a warning to poll. ticlans in those times, that it is above all things dangerous to despise the public, and to volunteer the incurring unnecessary obloquy, with a view to gratify a few individuals whose interests are at variance with those of the people, for these men will be the first to abandon him to his date, when overtaken by the Storm of general indignation. (From the West We last week stated it as our opinion, that the Duke would not retire from the helm of the State whilst he was able to secure amaloVity in the House of Commons. It was only by operating on Parliament, that public opinion could reach bun l and it is through that medium that It has reached him at last.—ln fact, It is high time that it should. The distress of the peasantry in this country has at length given rise to combinations that threaten the most disastrous consequences. The agricultural labourers have at length learned to unite, in order to operate on the fears of their employers, and they arc spreading devastation far and wide. (From the Western Times.) 'Tuna Itestowamme.—Ministers have at length resigned—stwere well they had done so a month ago, for since that period they have sunk low indeed in public estimation, The appointment of Dr. Philpints to the See of Exeter in spite of remonstrances, and without regard to the Church's welfare ..the foreign policies, as it respects Belgium—the King's Speech—and crowning all, the Duke's uneilitivocal declaration against Refbrm, were together more than any Ministry could bear up against; and then that unfortunate declaration of weakness became the death warrant of the Wellington administration, and rendered its defeat on the Civil List inevitable. They have fallen. We do not fear now for the cause of lteform—a new Ministry must yield it, and we expect will not be unwilling to do so, (From the Devonport Telegraph.) We have reeently been astonished by a succession of extraor dinary events in the political world—the overturning of thrones —the crumbling to dust of palaces, amidst the shouts of revolu. eon—and the rise of a spirit of change which Is now bestriding the earth like a Colossus, To these signs ol'the times we have this week to add that the Wellington Cabinet is no morel It ex. ldred on Monday last. This momentous overthrow is purely this ettl.et of public opinion, which it Is astonishing so keen an ob. server as the Duke of Wellington should have mistaken or at. tempted to defy. The storm has been gathering ever sin the delivery of that unfortunate Speech from the Throne, whist agi. .4 tated all men's minds and satisfied none, It was Mar tre. mendously by the Duke's famous declaration against Reform which came like a thunderbolt upon the people, and it remained fur that tom.foolery business of the City Feast to wind up the strange eventful drama,—But though these wore the rocks and quicksands upon which their tiartunes were ultimately wrecked, it cannot be denied that other hidden causes have been long operating against the popularity of what has been styled the Horse Guards Cabinet. The peo_ple have an Innate jealousy of military power, and the Duke of Wellington surrounded himself with soldiers, The Attorney-General's insane crusade against the Press was revenged by the Journals upon the Ministry, which gained much odium by that prosecution. The last speech of I,loo rfie the Fourth, which was everywhere represented as mock. ing the distresses or the eountry, by denying the existence of the great pressure then Mt by the people, and the unsatisfactory proceedings of the Session which followed, assisted in spreading disaffbetion through the kingdom. The hopes of the people re. calved their deathblow by the declaration of the Premier in the house of Lords, that the Representative System was perfect. (From the Newcastle Chronicle.). Though this unyielding Ministry is no more, it is to be hoped that the people will not popsider the victory as gained ; the main struggle has in fact yet to come. The Ministry to be formed will stand pledged to reduction and reform. This must array against them all the enemies of reform, all the possessors of Parliamentary interest, and all who have fattened an the pre. sent System of corruption. Those form a most formidable band in the two Houses, and sunless the Ministry be heartily sup. ported by the people, may prove too many for them. It there. fore appears to Nq tri 1)# a duty which at the present moment the people owe to themselves and their country, to forward petitions frain all places for refonn and retrenchment. By this means not only will the Ministry be supported in the arduous struggle they will have to maintain, but the Sovereign and Aristocracy will from thence learn the desires and will of the nation, and the Ministry themselves receive the useful warning, that it is only whilst they promote reform and economy to the utmost of their power, that they ran ho: e for popular support. Unless, indeed, they are determined to do so, they had better never accept place, (From the Par/smoufh Herald.) We will venture to say, that considering the difficult and em. barrassing questions which have been disposed of during the time the Duke held office, and the various conflicting interests he had to consult, no Minister who has been called on to legislate in si. toiler cages, could have carried with him out of office, a greeter share of popularity than the Duke of Wellington, had he re. signed at the close of the last Session. We do not mean to say but what his Grace had, even at that period, many and bitter etlettli44, but We mean that any other man to whose lot it might have fallen to legialete on questions of similar Importance, would also have made en emir+) lumber of enemies. We are here put ting entirely out of the question the declaration which his Grace made this Session on the subject of Reform, than which nothing could be more impolitic, unjust, or uncalled for. The origin then of the unpopularity of the Duke of Wellington seems to us to be attributable to the extraordinary nature ofthe questions that were agitated, i ris his administration ; and that this unpopularity was heightened, wo will not attempt to deny, by a somewhat pe. remptory andUtniourteous bedting towards those who difflired from him in opinion"; but tbet Gm mainspring of his actions has been the honour and welfare of Ida Country, to which no ma n living has on the whole rendered linen signal services, we feel as positively convinced as of our own existenee; and, however strongly the world may, in reference to particular isolated cases, censure t certain degree of haughtiness in his manner, which, though p with patience in 444ardonable trt an old successful soldier, is seldom to be tolerated to, we are perfectly sure that when party feeling shall have given piece to a candid and unprejudiced examination of his acts and motives, the wqrki will also see in the conduct of the Duke of Wellington, as Prime Mintites, much to commend. He possessed those mea t essential and necessary quelitlefitlons of a legislator, a promptitude of decision and firm. news, to en elmost incredible degree, and few men would have had the nerve to carry them through those questions which his Grace has been destined to swe at. With regard to Sir Robert Peel, we can scarcely find words to'eaprees 01# sense of the vast obligation which we consider he has conferred on the mitten by his uncoils illff assiduity in amending and Simplifying the compli ca t e mx , eidnery of our criminal code, nor can we withhold from the Right Honoorehle Gentleman our sincere tribute of praise for the up right, honourable and (with °noway exception to which we will not n o th e i anAeleeri4stent course he has uniformly pursued during the time he haeeld office.

(From the Carlisle Journal.) DEFEAT AND RESIGNATION OF MINISTERS.-With the entire concurrence of the whole nation, the Duke of Wellington and his awkward Squad of Imbeciles have ceased to direct the coun cils of this nation ! Their retreat from office was certainly ex. pected, for it has been perfectly clear to all men of common die. cerement, since the delivery of the King's speech and the inso. lent declaration of the Duke against Reform—that either they must resign or a 'evolution must ensue; that the nation would continue to be insulted by suffering its affairs to remain its the hands of men so inadequate to the circumstances of the times, was utterly impossible. But it was not expected that they would haVe been driven from office in a manner so disgraceful—in attempting to uphold a system of extravagance, on their avowed enmity to which they had alone been tolerated for such a length of time; nor did any one anticipate that the House of Commons would have been surprised into an act of virtuous opposition to any Minister. It was generally understood that the opposition were reserving all their strength for the question of Reform; but the Members stole a march upon themselves, and, we dare say, very much to their own surprise, found they had defeated the Minister, when they only meant to terrify him. The last two acts of the reign of the Duke's Ministry were in exact accord ance with most of their deeds ; they gave a sinecure place worth 2,5 W a year to the son of the Earl of Bathurst (their President of the Council), a man sodden in public wealth ! and they ap pointed Dean Philpotts to be Bishop of Exeter ll—an appoint ment execrated by men of ali parties, from one end of the king dotn to the other. No wonder the working classes of Carlisle re joiced at the" Destruction of the Wellington Administration." (From the Dublin Morning Register.) Tac Mimisray.—The Wellington Cabinet is signally over. thrown. This is an event which Is certainly important to liberty and good government all over the world. What special benefit It will render to Ireland, remains to be seen. Worse men than the vanquished cabinet, we cannot have ; but the people who are looking for places, have to unlearn a great deal of mischievous and even stupid errors, with regard to our condition and our claims upon Englandfor an ample pecuniary retribution. We may fairly indulge hope—but we must be watchful! We do not think it unlikely that Lord Anglesea will be appointed to the Chief csovernorship of Ireland. (From the Cork Chronicle.) rieNIONATION OF MINIST242.—The packet of Tuesday has brought us accounts of the resignation of Ministers. Joy be with them. They sought to destroy the Press of Ireland : but that Press lives to laugh at their humiliation, and to humble all who will have the hardihood to imitate them. (From the Durham C'hroniele.) We congratulate the country. The career of the Duke of Wellington as a Minister is at an end. His Grace and his Majors-General have been cashiered by Parliament.—We pre. dieted, in our last, that his infamous declaration against Reform had ensured his downtnl. The result has shown how correctly we foretold his fate. We did not, indeed, expect his destruction would have occurred so soon ; but justice is becoming swift of foot. His example will be a caution to future Ministers not to insult common sense, nor scout with disdain the claims and ex pectations of the people. We wonder what his Orace will now think of his best possible Legislature. Like Caligula of old, his favourite steed has tumbled him in the mud—has soused him In a slough from which he can never emerge, Well it would have been for him had he resigned before. He ruled over-long, both for himself and the country. His tactics have been less success- MI in the senate than in the field ; and the dotage which has marked the close of his Ministerial life will go far to obscure the glory of its brighter days. With respect to his partners in mis. !brim)°, we must pass them briefly over. Sir Robert Peel, who is in laid odour with all the world—distrusted and despised in every quarter, will fall unrnourntal ; while he of the Exchequer, who was vain enough to dare the Opposition to a trial of strength a week ago, and would not then leave place because It would be " cowardly" to quit his Royal Master in difficulties, will now be convinced of the impotence of his boasting—though he will have the consolation, in his misery, of knowing that the abandonment was not spontaneous but compulsory—that he and the squad, of which Its was Paymatter-serjeant did not desert, but were drummed out of the regiment. Thank God I there Is at length a hope of the country being governed on right principles. This, in filet, must be a tine qua non with all future Administrations. Public opinion has been too powerful for the Duke of Wel. lington, and it must be respected for ever hereafter. The people will no . lo»ger take crusts for mutton. They will not be satin. fled without as a just and impartial system of government ;" and it will be idle for any set of men, however highly gifted in talents and statesman-like qualities, to think of maintaining their ground without keeping pace with the spirit of the age, and in troducing measures really calculated to improve the condition of the country. (From the Glasgow Free Press.) The Press and the people of this country have not laboured in vain. Public opinion is at length triumphant It has become more omnipotent than the aristocracy, and all the powers of cor. ruptlon that surround them; and has actually driven from their places a Prime Minister and his retainers, the most uncompro. wising, the most opposed to the progress of liberty, and the most determined to cling at all h muds to office, that ever, perhaps, held the reins of executive power. The say species in revolu tion desired by the prudent and intelligent, because known to be the most safe and the most in accordance with our national character, and the spirit of our still noble though now deformed institutions, has thus been accomplished : we mean by the moral power lodged in the people having now gained the ascendant. From the period of the first French Revolution, the Aristocra tical and High Church Patsy, tearful of the spread of freedom in this country, and wielding until now the whole influence of Government, have made it the consistent rule of their policy to exert all their energies for the suppression of liberty, in what. ever country it arose; and hence the long wars into which they plunged us against France, end out of which we emerged, crowned it Is true, with the barren wreath of victory, but bur. with an amount of *dual debt and ether illeumbrance*, which, In the lapse of only sixteen years, have sunk the country to a depth of wretchedness, seldom, perhaps, equalkal, either in ancient or modern times. The Government must now be con. ducted by such men only as understand the character of the age, and are disposed to move along with it in the necessary course of reformation,..in which case confidence will succeed to distrust, good.will to disaffection, and perfect peace to incipient disorder. Of whatever individuals the Executive may be com posed, this alone is the principle on which they can act. The people have laid it down,—and they dare not deviate from it, (From the Edinburgh Evening Courant.) The immediate cause of this Ministerial revolution wits un questionably the division on the Civil List. But from whatever cause, it is evident the popularity of the Duke of Wellington has for a considerable time past been on the decline; and It is somewhat singular that his chief Opponents have been among those who lauded his measures. The great act which stamped a character on his administration was the repeal of the Cathoiic disabilities in Ireland, which was so highly approved of by a large and influential party; and yet it is certain that this mea sure contributed to weaken, rather than to strengthen, his Mi. Mary, because it did not secure the support of those by whom it was approved, while it decidedly alienated the High Church and Tory party, , whose intinettee in England is still so extensive anti powerntl. rho impenetrable reserve and hauteur of the Duke of Wellington's manners; his overbearing demeanour in the Cabinet, and his decided aversion to any new political al. Helices, by which he might have strengthened and extended his influence, are also stated, with what truth we cannot take upon ourselves to say, as among the other causes of the unpopularity of his Ministry. (From the Limerick evening Post,) The London . Journals of Tuesday bring most interesting intel. ligence, no less than the beating, and resignation, of Ministers! (From the Caledonian Mercury.) Whatever change takes place, three points may be regarded as those which will be the leading stars of any Administration— non.inlervention in foreign aillairs—Reform in Parliament, to a greater or less extent—and strict economy in the national expen diture. If any Administration should attempt to run counter to these, It will be assuredly shipwrecked much quicker even than the Duke of Wellington's. „ „ (r tom th e txrratliaa „ R oya l Gazelle.) Thus ends an Administration under which more has been done to alienate the feelings of the people from Parliament than was ever before ceded in so short a time. We are convinced that the resignation of the Duke of Wellington will be of service and tend to allay the irritations of the country. (From the Berwick Adverater.) DEFEAT AND RESIGNATION OF MonsTitite.---Our readers will rejoice to hear of the resignation of Ministers, who notwith standing the urgent calls of the country for a diminution of the public expenditure, and their own professions of economy, have on all occasions shewn no serious inclination to economise. Their successors, whoever they may be, have now a lesson before their eyes, that unless they seriously introduce a system of the most rigid economy and retrenchment they cannot have the support of the House of Commons. Hence the public may with some confidence look forward to something like reform, and at least gradual retrenchment; but they must not be too sanguine in their expectations, because no very great reduction can im mediately take place without a violent change, which, if pos sible, ought to he 'voided, lf, in future, Mietatops s h ew a disposition to economise, to abolish sinecures, Useless places, and unmerited pensions, and to extend the elective franchise by an. withri ih i I a t t t i , n e s d t j o t n l e n (); It' district,bor oss g a t: or b y et amalgamating h l e ea b s y t egoiv innscgiconsc i ous soof them idr a real representation, they will secure to themselves general s al so rob to at wi len sh . co T a h lu e s pe to ot r e o le d ofi so hi r s o oo r. ti o n u tr t y b r ip s g sess too much good rights as men they naturally murmur if deprived of them.

Will Mr. hathurst have a pension ? Now this is one of the last acts of the late Ministers, and which, if the circum stances of the country can be taken into account, will cover the parties concerned with indelible disgrace. This, added to the weak attempts to alarm the King and Parliament, by the farce got up on Lord Mayor's Day, places the late Ministers in almost unenviable plight ; but neither their love of place nor their silly cry of danger, could save them from the most humiliating defeat, (From the Glasgow Herald.) RESIGNATION of MINISTERS..-The Welling:Oß administration is at an end, and if a better succeed it we shall be pleased at the change ; but in the hopes of this being the case we are net san. guine. Coalitions never draw well together, nor are they of long adherence; and we know of no one party In the late opposition that can possibly carry on the affliirs of the State, unless the Wellingtons kindly lend them a lift, —or that there be such a general state of alarm In the reflecting part of the nation as to throw the whole of the public men into the support of Govern. ment. It is not to be denied that the resignation of the late Administration will serve as a temporary quieter to that portion of the people who are calling loudly for reform : they will no doubt rest a little to see what is to be done, and may probably in the mean time hug themselves in the fancy that the great Duke and his party have been forced out ofoffice by the force of popular opinion ; but we suspect they will be disappointed In the long-run. (From the Glasgow Chronicle.) The profuse and lavish scheme for the Civil List, with which Ministers meant to follow up the deplorable King's speech, has given the coup de grace. Never did a Minister more disappoint public anticipation than the Duke of Wellington. Instead of the vigour and decision which were every where assumed to be his peculiar characteristics, his administration, both in foreign and domestic affairs, displayed a helpless and passive weakness—a dis. inclination to wh ,t he practically performed--a hankering after what he eared not attempt. The great measure of his Govern. raent—. what is called Catholic Emancipation," was a marked exception to its general tenor; and may now, without any want of charity, we regarded as a matter of necessity, not of choice.— In his public argument he never admitted the right of mankind to worship their Maker according to the injunctions of con. science, without pains or penalties. He rested the issue on ex. pediency alone. Relief, he said, could not be withheld without lighting up a civil war. It has recently appeared, by the accounts of Mr. Coke and others, that in private he strengthened his plea, by stating that in such a contest, from the number of Catholic soldiers, the army could not be trusted. The liberal public, ever credulous of coining improvement, shut their eyes to the imper. feet reasoning of the Duke; made large allowance for the feel. ings of the new convert towards his old associates who despe. rattly cleaved to their prejudices; and looked forward with hope and exultation to other measures suited for the urgent exigen. des of the country. This fond expectation was greatly damped during the last Session of Parliament ; during which nothing of the least moment was attempted either* En retrenchment. or amendment of the law (both of which were promised in the King's speech), or in any snore direct scheme of practical good for reinstating the working .orders in some degree of comfort. On the contrary, every thing corroborated the statement of a Member of Parliament that the Duke had said that his object was to tide the Session over."— A few days before the concession of the Beer Duty, the Duke proclaimed any reduction of taxes to be impracticable. The new Ministry cannot but be aware that commonplace mea. cures are no longer fit for the country. They cannot but see the necessity of large reductions in the Government establish. menu a great lightening of the people's burdens ; of Par.. lianientary reform ; and of serious efforts to give a profitable set. tlement to those who, able and willing to work, cannot find em. ployment. No important improvement can take place in Ireland, without the interference of Government in behalf of the ne. glected poor; nor can the poor rates in England properly Mill , 1 their end, without public undertakings, at which the able. bodied may earn their livelihood by their labour. If the dill. culties of the country are not now fairly met, and redressed by law, the conviction will gain ground that they will go on aug menting till they are surmounted by violence. We trust that the diffh.rence did not arise either on the subject of reform or retrenchment, or in a rational improvement in the measures of Government generally. We will venture to predict that any Administration which adopts principles opposite to those of Mr. Brougham, will go to pieces with still more rapidity than the last. It is anticipated that the aspect of her MA JIESTOI drawing-rooms will assume a character wholly different from those of the late reign. The immense crowd necessitated on such occasions by the rarity of their occurrence induced the expression of a wish on the part of GEOUGE IV. that those officers and gentlemen who had an opportunity of paying their respects at the levee would refrain from augmenting the crush which proved so disad vantageous to the comfort of his female guests. On occa sion of the lust drawing-room held at St. James's, the prevailing fashion of seduisante sleeves gave rise to many ludicrous incidenta; a considerable number of the ladies of the Court being rescued from the struggle at the head of the stairs with long streams of ragged lace hanging from their arms. All this will now be very differently arranged ; and the brilliancy of the circle will doubtless he considerably augmented by a more equal admixture of knights and dames, of uniforms and flowing trains. We understand there is no truth in the report that the hoop will become once more the Rational costume of the English Court.--- Court Journal. On Thursday, the news arrived of the resig nation of Ministers, and so much satisfaction does it ap pear to have given the working classes that they resolved upon testifying their pleasure by another public proces sion. Accordingly, about hall-paet eight in the evening all immense concourse of people walked in proce.sion from Caidewgate, and through all the principal streets in the city. They were accompanied by music and banners— one a tri-colour, another inscribed the " Rights or Man," and another with the motto of "Universal Suffrage." In front of the procession were eight or ten lighted torches, and three placards fixed upon poles—the first having upon it " Peace to the City"-the second " Destruction to the Wellington Administration"—and the third " Radical Reform." Behind there were at least a thousand men linked arm in arm ; and by the time they returned to the Market Cross, front Botchergate, the number of persona present as spectators or actors in the scene must have been at least six thousand. Having paraded through the prin cipal streets, they marched three times round the Cross, gave three cheers, and then returned to Caldewgate, and almost immediately separated.-- Carlisle Journal.

CONJUGAL AFFECTION.—After the heat of the late contests in the streets of Paris had subsided, a woman was seen running about and eagerly examining every dead body in her way—she was looking for her hus band. A gentleman who bad watched her progress for some time, endeavoured to console her with the hope of his being yet alive. " No, he must be killed ; I have not set eyes on him since the morning; I hope in God I shall find his body, for he has got the key of the street door in his pocket." ANECDOTE OF MS PRESENT MAJESTY. —As the Duke of CLARUNCE was passing over Westmin ster-bridge on the 23d of July, 1'791, he saw a poor man and a woman run over, when his Royal Highness imme diately drove to the stand of coaches in Parliament-street, returned with a hackney-coach, and had the poor couple placed in it. He paid the hire, and gave the poor woman money for necessaries, and sent them to St. George's Hos. pital.

SOLUTION OF THE PHENOMENON OF THE SEA SEIPSNT.—The public were amused for some time, a few years ago, by the tale. of brother Jonathan, respect. ing the huge sea serpent. Without at all disputing the existence of creatures of that nature in the ocean, 1 have little doubt that a sight I ,witnessed, in a voyage to the West Indies, was precisely such as some of the Americans had construed into " a sea serpent, a mile in length," agreeing, as it did, with one or two of the accounts given. This was nothing more than a tribe of black per. poises, in one line, extending fully a quarter of a mile, fast asleep ! The appearance, certainly, was a little singular, not unlike a raft of puncheons, or a ridge of rocks ; but the moment it was seen some one exclaimed (I believe the Captain) " Here is a solution of Jonathan's enigma!" and the resemblance to his "sea serpent" was at once striking. ......United Service Journal.

THE NEW BISHOP. The ordinary process by which men climb to the Bishop's Beach; if not the most dignified, is upon the whole inoffensive. If a Lord of - powerful connections, or a commoner of great influence, !dial!, instead of a polio" from his own resources, impose the remuneratiog of thbis tutor on the country, whatever may be raid of e Lord or the commoner, this much may be pleaded for the object of their bounty, that he had filled an bumble but not an unimportant station-will; before he was collet to fill a digni fi ed station.

We speak of that gentleman in his public capacity—of his private character we pintos to know nothing—but who is the Dr. Phillpotts of Old public? And this is a most essential question; for it is not enough that a Bishop "rule his house well," he mot , also " have a good report of them which are without.' The Bishop of Exeter is the author of some tracts against the Edinburgh Review; he is known to have been long ch a bitter railer against Roman Catholic Emancipation, and t a le r Lu ot k te w n ' pn iul! p l he is known to have voted for and canvassed for Sir Robert Peel, when an attempt was made to return him for Oxford for the purpose of supporting Catholic Emancipation; in a word, he is a man who has travelled from party la party, zealous is turn for all, constant only to that in power.
