'TIE LONDON JOURNALS• June 7. [MORNING HERALD.] ,RE.SI.GNATION OF CABINET MINISTERS.--It - was understood yesterday evening, at the west end of the town, and we have been assured it is fact, that Lord Harrowhy, Viscount Me - ..;11e, and Viscount . Sidmputh, have. resigned. Mr. Canning was mentioned as the successor of Lord Melville at the .Admiralty.--We did not hear, with any certainty, who were to succeed Lords Harr9wby and Sidmouth, in the Presidency of. the . Council, and in the Home Department. [MORNING. POST.] .The most contradictory reports have, hitherto . prevailed on the subject of the Coronation; we . areglad that it is at last in our power to set them at rest. The Coronation is definitively .. fixed for. the 16th of July ; and shortly after his 'Majesty certainly intends to visit Ireland, Pre . parations for the important and august ceremony have been resumed with increased activity, and it will require no small exertions, however ad vanced the internal decerations may be, to finish the exterior repairs of 'Westminster Hall, by the time appointeu. With respect to the public mind,.it has been long prepared for this grateful and necessary accomplishment _of the, rites of . Sovereignty. Never, indeed, Was the state of the. country more propitious.. Universal peace and good-will have succeeded to the unnatural agitation created in various parts by the arts of the disaffected ; the pressure of distress, that greet ally-of popular disturbers, is consider, ably diminished, if not altogether removed the increasing demands of trade hav e rev i ve d the-activity of our -manufactures; the cheapness ' of . provisions, th oug h cons id ere d as a gr i evance 4y a particular class, is felt as a blessing .by the people at large.; the-restoration of a me tallic currency, whilst it has-put to shame the prophets of national ruin, has added to the ,soli dity of our national credit; and, to crown the whole, the large reductions already effected in cur public expenditure, together with the dis position .evinced by_ his Majesty's Government to adopt every means of further economy, and to encourage every mode of salutary reform, have produced, a general feeling of confidence and gratitude, which'promises .the happiest results to the peace and prosperity of the . Country. The Coronation of his Majesty, which at all titnes• would .be gratifying to his' subjects, will derive a still deeper interest, ,and excite more genuine satisfaction, from the flourishing nature of the circumstances under which it will' take place. will not only afford a triumph to indiVidua loyalty; it will remain connected in the mind O the. country and of posterity with a season of na tional peace and happiness. I - MORNING CIIRONI cm.] The Marquess of Londonderry gave notice last night that he should to-morrow submit a proposition to the House, for a Grant of six thousand pounds to His Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence. This gave rise to -some observa tions with respect to the claim of another branch of the Royal Family to a similar Grant, and to the Aare- of the property of the late King, to - which the Duke of Clarence might have suc ceeded. The Marquess of Londonderry, -in an swering Mr. flume, contended that these subjects would come with more propriety before the Iheuse on Friday. We know not whether we a.7e, to infer from this, that his Lordship will then clear up this mysterious affair. • [NEW TIMES.] . Attacks of various kinds continue to be made or the Constitutional Association: The most atrocious is that contained in a letter *by one .Edward King, inserted' in .2.'he Times, with saan ilaions and libellous remarks by the Editor.-- 7 :Among the infamous publications of 'the day, . there is a work called—Corruption's Glossary, a , Political Dictionary, which work has been found by a - Grand Jury to .be a , seditious libel„ and which' indeed. if any -Englishman can peruse vrithout feelings of the utmost disgust and indig ration; he must be destitute of all regard for the 'Laws and Constitutinn of his country. King, the under of this abominable libel, however, has the hardihood to assert that ho " was utterly ignorant. of the existence of such 'a work, ex •Cepting from the advertisement in the public .Papers,", until he was solicited to procure it by a 'Clerk of the Constitutional -Association).— .This story is, upon the' 'face of it, ;a most .irripn(lent_ falsehood. .But the Society have very :properly resolved not to leave it.:to :the effect of its own gross improbability.— Tliey'haVe called upon their clerk to state the 'trial: on .oath.-13e it.observed, King says, that ..on the sixteenth of.Mair.he was ignorant of the existence of the . Roliiicd/ . ...Dictionen://: -pow .the clerk swears that on the fifteenth he went'to iiingts shop to purchase a , caricature • that be then. saw' the rst . part -of th e Dictionary :lying upon the - counter; and that King then obL ,served "it was a work whiCh . contained very -correct observations:" 'King' therefore not only .knew of its existence butof its contents, before had.any conversation with; the .clerk about.it - ; 'he was not only not ignorant of the work on the MI), but he knew it very well on the 15th..Th4 transaction instead of Passing wholly on ,one day occupied two days. Every other part of King's story is in -like .manner falsified ; ; and he.it served, the 'contradiction is upon oath! BRITISH PRESS. We should very much regret if the apposition which we , have. thought it our duty toexpress to wards the - Society which has vain&-and unwar trantably assunred - the specious'lltle of a " Con- Ititutional Association," should be confounded with any intention , or desire upon 'our part to .chew a personal disrespect to . -any of the indivi duals who have enrolled their names_in - the listaf .its members.. We have not looked through the Joist .with much attention, Abut in a 'hasty glance :which we threw over it we saw-many names that merit and enjoy the esteem and regard .pf_all parr I`, AirT EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS, [THE TIMES.] The proceedings on the Mock-constitutional Association are various, and begin now to obtain a degree of interest which the more respectable members, we learn, would be glad to decline. Of the persons prosecuted, or attempted to be prosecuted, we know nothing ; and therefore, so far as personal motives are concerned, our judg ment is unbiassed : indeed, were we to speak our opinions freely—though, like most impartial people, we tnay.give double offence—we should say, that between the original concoctors of this Soctety t 'we exclude their dupes of course) and those against whom they profess to wage war, there is not " one chip to choose." However, as some from e ith er side may be b roug ht to take their trials before a Jury of their Country, we press this matter gently. The Public will have seen the letter which we pub lished yesterday from Mr. King, whom this Society attempted to prosecute, and whom one of its agents (as Mr. K. stated) endeavoured to seduce into the offence for which it was intended to at tack him. This was a very dark transaction, as desCribed by Mr. king ; and its blackness is not diminished by the affidavit of Orton, the boy-informer, published in this day's jour nal. Was not this youth aware (or if he was not, were not his employers aware) that even the most practised Bow Street Runners :shrink from the employment of entrapping a man into the offence, :for the commission of which they are afterwards to become his accusers? and how much less is this a befitting duty for a solici tor's. clerk ? The celebrated Lord Hard wicke was articled to an attorney in Shire-lane, we be lieve; and his mistress wanting only to employ him on some .menial household errand, the boy hired a coach, and charged his master with the fare, saying it was improper that . one bred to a respectable profession should - be seen bringing home a leg of "mutton and turnips :" and the attor ney acquiesced in the propriety of the clerk's con. duct. But in what way must the career of a boy ter minates.whose early life, like that of Orton's, is dedicated to employments such as are de scribed in the affidavit,and who has the means of acquiring a certain degree of technical knowledge in an Attorney's office ? We are-of opinion, that if this youth, Orton, has parents, there is. suffi tient ground in this affidavit for dem an di ng hi s . indentures of his master. CORONATION.—The dress allotted to the Band of Gentlemen Pensioners for the Corona- lion is particularly gay. The original picture exhibiting the dress was painted by VERTUE, re presenting Lord HUDSON in the dress, and is now at Sherborne Castle. His MAJESTY has been very particular in ordering 'theirs to be ex actly like it. The jacket and short breeches are of scarlet cloth, covered with several hun dred yards of narrow gold lace, and have be sides twelve thousand small sugar-loaf buttons on each dress.* The puffs or sashes are of light blue velvet; scarlet silk stockings, black.shoes, with rosettes ; straight antique looking sword; a short mantle, edged with gold bullion, and fastened by an immense bow of gold cord on the left shoulder, something like an aiguillett ; EDi- ZABETIS'S ruff round the neck, and a bonnet with three white feathers, with scarlet satin puckered round the crown, and turned up in front with a gold loop. The dresses are all ready, and it is said will 'cost 2001. The above dress is to be worn on State occasions only, and the 'present uniform at levees, &c. which is a full dress of a Captain, of the Guards.—(Morning Paper.) The Select Committee. of the House of Com mons appointed to -take into consideration the existing Laws relating to Vagrants, have made their Report. They suggest the expediency of revising an& consolidating the different Acts upon Vagrancy ; and for this purpose, and various others connected with the subject, they recom mend the revival of the Committee in a future Session. -In the mean time they have directed their •Chairman to move for leave to bring in a Bill for amending the present Laws relative to' the apprehension, punishment, and passing of Vagrants. This Bill has, in consequence, been brought in by Mr. CHETW Y/CD. The Report; among other suggestions, recommends that the practice of passing vagrants to their places of settlethent be suspended for one year from the Ist of September next. POPULATION RrrunNs.---The population of the City of Gloucester, according to the return, made last week, amounted to 9771 souls ; in 1811, •it amounted to, $lBl souls; the increases in ten years, having been 1590. Woofer, Edmunds, and Maddocks, who were sentenced on Friday last to different periods of imprisonment in Warwick Gaol, were on Tues day removed to that place from the King's Bench _prison. Martin and Turner both shewed yesterday, and both bear marks of a hard combat. Martin is hit the worst about the head, but Turner has suffered - severely by right-handed body hits. Martin has challenged R j andal to a second combat. "ties in the commuisity. For these persons we profess the sincerest respect, and although with many of them we have the misfortune of differing in opinion Upon the greater number of those poli tical questions which for some years have em ploye4 the public mind of this country, we can yet esteem the purity of their principles, and give them credit for sincerity and integrity. We hope, in return, that our motives and principles will be treated with the•same candour and indul gence. But in the view which we have taken of this Society, it matters nothing who may have sanctioned it by the authority of, their names ; it is with the principle of such an AssOciation that we quarrel, and not with its particular mem bers. The respectability of many or of all of them does net relieve them from the imputation of having committed an error in judgment ; and we doubt not that the greater part of them sub scribed their names to the conditions or terms of the Association as they would to a kmple avowal of loyalty, &c. without having prhiously con sidered with attention the injurious effects which such a Society may be calculated to produce when "put into active operation.

MARCH 16.—The p . arty in the State of New York, denominated -" Republican,' is now enjoying a trio. wlnom.S.he.aelberents of the Governor. By. the Con Stitu.. tion of the State, the House of Assembly yeaily selects'one Se nator from each of the great tO",getlier, fotm a Council of Appointment, with the Governor as President, and,- accordingly, have .power .of nomination to niost offices ih the State... The party, hostile to Governor Clinton, having obtain ed a majority, both in the•Senate' aced "Haase' of AsSeinblv, have.formed a Conrail, favourable to their vieWs, which has been actively engaged in depriving of their situations all the friends of the Governor, and putting in staunch ‘‘ BucktailS " the supporters of Mr. Temilcine.

An-office, therefore, ,on a tenure so preeaxious, would seem an object scarce ly worth contending for; and vet inn country is there such eager scrambling, for the loaves'and fishes. It is true, the form of Government is eminently ,a pepti- Jar one, as each man has thus a chance . to'" strut his hour". in office, but the changes which the continually occurring serve also to unhinge mean principles, and make ihen . nunsteatly in • their political attachments andopinions. The rule of ,conduct in most general repute, 'among the one, is that for which the Vicar of Bray is immortalized in song--,and on the eve, of art election much shrewdness 'of calculation is often displayed in voting with the party whose cause is-likely to preponderate. The more, indeed, that we kink into the system of. government so boasted of by our neighbours, the greater cause have we to be satisfied with our own happy condition under the mild sway of the British sceptre—for, 23 the Ar2htleacOn of -Noinvich . on. serves, in a sermonintended to have been preached at St.-Paul"s before her MajestY, " Say what we will, and think what we will, in a moment of spleen, the decent and temperate Snlentlonr of monarchy takes away from the rough edge of republican vir tue, polishes integrity, and gives a slinility and fi41225 to many things, Whkh on 211 extensive scale of society, cannot frern any rn.her form of government be derived.

The fear of a backward spring has caused the price ofhay to Ilse from 16 to 20 dollars for a hundred bundles, about 100 lbs. The price .that hay and every tort crfonge • bearain the markets of this Province, is usually above what' ought to be ita price, compared with other agricultural predr.:ea ; for instance, an arpent of land in wheat, may produce on •an. average 'IS bushels, which at sa, the average price, is only 16 &liars. The. labour which the raising of wheat requires, beyond that which is necessary for the produ c tion of h a y, is ':core than the yahie of the wheaten straw. An arpent of hay, at the average price of ten dollars per 100 bundles,- and taking 200 as the avenge produce, gives 20 dollars. or 1-4th more than the average value of an arpent in wheat.;--Last year, from the dryness of the summer, was unfavourable for hay ; but the high price of food for cattle, generally, is owing chiefly "to the imperfect state of our agriculture. It is the scarcity of Toed that keeps our stock Of cattle comparatively few in number, and - unprofitable, and has enabled foreigners to come into competition with us in our own markets, notwithstanding the great encouragement to the raising of live stock in th e country, from the hip,h-price of meat during the last 12 years, and the advantages of proximity,which our own agriculturists must always .epioy.—lt consolinghow ever to know that the evldepends neither on our soil nor on our climate. In respect to the former,; it is generally superior to .that of our neighbours, and in respect to the latter, in as far as ' cattle is concerned, we know that the difference in the time that they can procure their fcod. in the fields, is very little between this Province and the -adjoining parts - of this - Confinent, We' .lie under no:cliSadrantages in respect to raising and. suppoating cattle, which may not b e removed by the same means th a t th e food for cattle,!and •conseqUently their number have been in creased more than one. half in other countries within the last 30 years, And which has increased the whole produce of the land in those countries in the same proportion, without any material addition of labenie-The intreiluetion of. the petatoe into this Province .within the last 60 years, has increased the annual pro duction - of 'food for•man, mare than would readily at first have been admitted.

To insure the full advantages to be expected' from their, they however require the perfected drill culture, and a rotation of crops, Which are -nearly unknown thranghont the country, excepting in Et few instance. where they hav e heenim perfectly applied- to potatoes, and ground on •which •they have .been raised. The . experiments which have been made .about Quebec, give the 'fallo w i n g results of -turnip crops as'foodfor 'dads cattk, compared with hay : . , • The averaese of an arpent of turnips on light lard, is about 40f) ininots, . which is not half of what ..has actually been pro diked on an arpents Each bushel of turnips contains fully as n,uch -food .fir cattle as two hnnelles. of hay ; with a small .por tion el Coarse hay or straw, cattle thrive better on this Mod, than - with a •frill alloysance of-the best hay. :Thus an arpent cialtivate'd in turninS gives a produce equal to 860 hundies of hay, or tine average; produce ..of four arpents ; and the:. superior Onelity of the mailing grain crop, 'owing to the cleaning. or the land of both the roots and seeds of weeds .by. the drill , culture. throughout the summer, more than compensates for the greater q - aantita pf labour employed for the turnip crop than fur a hay crop..

Rivmt OTTELLE, 19fin 7 - 1821.-alt appears from the report of several travellers, that the body of a Man was 'found frozen to death near the middle of Lake •Teinisconata, • and has.been lying there for these! two months, to the disgust Of all who were obliged to pass that Way.
