FURTHER PROROGATION OF PARLIAM ENT. The Ministry of Sir ROBERT PEEL has resigned ! The cointry at large may be startled by a circum stance so unexpected, but such is the fact. Yester day morning the majority of the Cabinet, compris• ingtbe Duke of WELLINGTON, the Duke of Bucc Lunen, Sir Roncar PEEL, Sir J. GRAHAM, the Earl of ABERDEEN, Lord STANLEY, Mr. GOULBURN, the Earl of LINCOLN, and Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT—in all, nine out of twelve or thirteen composing the entire Cabinet, proceeded by special train to Southampton, and were convaye 1 by the royal steamer Fairy to the Isle of Wight. At a Court held at Osborne House they tendered their resignation to her MAJESTY, which was graciously accepted! Here is a sudden and abrupt termination of the Conservative Cabinet ! and that, too, at the very moment they were supposed, and even demi-officially announced, to have become the converted organs of free-trade policy in all its ramified bearings ! It wece idle to speculate on the cause of this un looked for disruption of a Cabinet whose whole career has been that of fighting under false or assumed colours. But one circumstance is rather significant. It might have been ob served that the Duke of WELLINGTON did not at tend the Cabinet Council held on Monday, after the return of Sir ROBERT PEEL from Osborne Howse on that day. The DUKE had made up his mind for better for worse, and left t , e Cabinet to take its course. It sat only an hour, an 1 during that eventful hour had decided on re sign_ll4 the Government. That decision was, of gouts', C ) , .Nrs'y,d to the Duke of WELLINGTON; who, prampt to his d u t y , accompanied the doleful train to Osborne House to resign, what he had often asserted h e did not possess, his Ministerial office. The Duke h e ld no direct Mi.: nisterial office, but shared responsibility with his col leagues. As Commander-in-Chief the Field-Marshal is no Minister, but only . commands the army, respon bible to the Crown arid the Parliament. But, in his ministerial capacity as a Cabinet Minister, he wielded more negative power perhaps than Sir R, PEEL himself, from the fact that he held the majo rity of the House of Lords in his pocket ! This cir cumstance alone was quite enough, without the doubtful aid of hesitating friends, to have 2ecided Sir R. PEEL on resigning an office which had become as thankless as it was irksome. But he has re signed in a good and a righteous cause, and his re ward will be in accordance with his merits. The Pzet Cabinet, then, has come to Its end. It has evidently died hard. It was imagined last week that the disease, Which has proved fatal, had yielded to skilful treatment, and that the patient would make a new start with greater vigour than ever. But the dis ease is said to have returned with increased strength and we have now to record the decease of the old lady, of whom, wishing, at so melancholy a moment, to say all the good that can be said of her, we are free to confess that if her course has been tricky and tortuous, her tricks have been tricks to the few and benefits to the many, and that in her last moments her better feelings are supposed to have been strenuously directed to a trick greater than any of her tricks, which would more than ever have exasperated her immediate friends, but for which all honest men would have blessed her. Scme say that the Duke of WELLINGTON had yielded to Sir ROBERT PEEL'S desire to settle the corn-law question, and has since revoked his consent . ; others that he had never yielded. Be this as it may, it is understood that the Duke of WELLING'TON'S op position has caused the resignation of Sir R. PEEL and the break-up of the Cabinet. We like to take a favourable view of men's con duct, and would fain hope that the Duke of WEL LINGTON has been resisting, not the repeal of the corn-laws, but the repeal of the corn-laws by the Cabinet which set itself up to stand by them. Well authenticated rumour has asclibrd to the Duke the expression of opinions which would show him to be quite aware that the corn-laws cannot longer stand ; but his high honour may shrink from being himself the man to do the deed. He may feel that the great influence which he wields in the House of Lords may be even more powerfully used, in support of others proposing the measure, than if it could be said that he has apostatized and abused the trust re posed in him to preserve political power. A change, within so short a period as four years, from the high protection doctrines, which gained the implicit confi dence of farmers' friends in 1841, to the measures of the Anti-Corn-law League is a change, the sincerity of which cannot be warranted by less than the sacri fice of Downing-street. As to the steps which may be taken by her MA JESTY, in consequence of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S resigna tion, a short time will disclose them, and in the mean while we might safely leave it to our readers to con jecture Sir ROBERT'S successor. The nation, of course, looks to the statesman who has lately come forth with a boldness suited to the crisis, renouncing all personal, party, and class considerations, and man fully avowing past errors—who, if he had been the man to come forward at this or any other time to suit a purpose of his own would not have so long held out against the dissatisfaction—against even risk of estrangement, of his party, and whom opponents and friends alike concur in pronouncing worthy of the name of RUSSELL. Of his two otherwise likely oom petitors, the advance of years has probably rendered Lord MELBOURNE unequal to the toils and cares of Premiership, and death has robbed us of Lord SPENCER. But, whoever may be the Minister, it is enough for us to feel assured that the corn-laws are doomed. The PEEL Ministry being now extinct, a few re marks respecting their character may not be unin teresting to the public on the solemn occasion, and certainly a body, with a few exceptions we admit, less distinguished for ability, either as statesmen or ora tors, could hardly be selected, without ridicule, for the government of a great country. Sir ROBERT PEEL has been the life and soul of the Cabinet from its birth to its death ; he has maintained throughout a civic despotism of the most decided character, discharging refractory members, shutting the mouths of the indiscreet and pass ionate, assuming the work of others unfit for their peculiar depart ments, and in all respects acting, not as the nominal head of a Cabinet, like Lords LIVER. Poor, and MELBOURNE, but as the prime mover and the principal agent in every change that has taken place during the four years that the motley crew have existed. The new tariff was his, so was the Maynooth Bill, and the Irish Colleges Bill, and the abolition of Customs duty on four hundred arti cles of foreign production ;—every measure, in fact, was his, and he made no scruple of assuming the whole merit or demerit of any Bill carried through Parliament. Of the Duke of WELLINGTON little need be said. His character for firmness, or rather obstinacy, is known to all. He is justly ce lebrated for his military deeds, and has thereby raised himself to the very first rank among the great commanders of the age, but, as a politician, he has never acquired any honour whatever except by carrying measures which he long obstinately opposed, and by one remarkably short, pithy speech, which decided every waverer on the great question of Parliamentary Reform. If we ex cept Sir JAMES GRAHAM, and Lord STANLEY, and Lord LYNDHURST, there is not another member of the Cabinet who approaches even to mediocrity. LYND.• HURST is pliable and fit for any purpose; Lord STANLEY is as obstinate as WELLINGTON, and possesses great abilities, but they are of a kind not fitted for active service. lle disdains to yield to remonstrance or listen to advice ; he is confident of his power, and will make it felt even at the risk of endan gering his usefulness, and bringing reproach on any Cabinet of which he happens to be a member. He has turned out a complete failure in every depart. ment allotted to him, and, whether as Secretary for Ireland or Secretary for the Colonies, has done incal culable mischief to his colleagues. His obstinacy, and possibly selfishness, also in supporting the enormities of the Irish Church, broke up one Cabinet, and after wards rendered him the most unpopular member of the PEEL Government in the estimation of seven millions of Catholics. His dismissal from office will be received as "glorious news" by the whole of the British Colonies. Sir ROBERT PEEL evidently placed confidence in the Home Secretary, and not without reason, for according to all accounts no Minister was ever more indefatigable and earnest in his duty, or more desirous to act in unison with his colleagues. As first Lord of the Admiralty under the GREY Adminis tration, he acquired the praise of all parties, and perhaps on no former occasion was that department conducted with such impartiality and vigour. But what can be said of the rest ?—of the seven or eight lords (there not being fewer than ten altogether of that order in the Cabinet), and of the one commoner known only for his wealth ? Should a war take place with America, neither ABERDEEN nor HAD. DINGTON could have carried it on with the spirit and skill suited to such a serious contest. The downfal of this heterogeneous Cabinet will be the worst news for PoLK that he has received since his instalment into office. The Syrian affair made an impression in America, which established the character of PALMERSTON for decision and national spirit, and POLK would rather see any man in the Foreign-office than a nobleman who, since the days of CANNING, is the only Minister that has asserted the honour of the country in all her foreign relations. The character of the remainder may be summed up in a few words. Since the Earl of RIPON was Prime Minister, and by his pusillanimity excited the ridicule of the Sovereign that called him to office, he has been utterly useless. GOULBURN was only the shadow of a Chancellor of the Exchequer, and but for the timely aid and tutoring of his principal would have involved the finances of the country in inextricable confusion. He never could either speak or act, and may be said to have ended his political life in a more honourable way than he or any human being ever could have anticipated. In short, with the exception of Sir R. PEEL and Sir J. GRAHAM, the country is well rid of the "strong Ministry." Its demise will give additional impulse to the principles of free-trade and salutary reform, and rouse a spirit of resistance to Tory principles which bids fair to establish a new era in the govern ment of this vast empire. The announcement of the Speaker's intention to authorise payment of railway deposits to the Ac count-General by instalments, has considerably al -I?yed, as might have been expected, the anxiety about the transfer of the whole large sum which will have to be deposited by the applicants for Bills in the next session. We take for granted that the Bank Directors, and leading bankers of railway companies, who by concert may do much, will do their utmost to carry out beneficially this mode of payment by instalments. One instalment paid into the Bank, will be available to assist the bankers for payment of another instalment ; or the investment in Government securities of sums already paid to the credit of the Accountant General, will tend to preve n t depreia.. THE SUN. LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 11, 1845 tion of these securities, out of which companies may have to sell, for the transfer of further sum. While there is no doubt that the transfers by in stalments will be a very great relief, it is still much to be regretted that the interviews between the bankers and the Chancellor of the Exchequer have not yet resulted in an undertaking by the Go vernment to introduce, immediately on the meeting of Parliament, and carry without delay through all its stages, a short Bill to allow the Accountant- General to receive Government securities as well as money in payment of the deposits. This would set the public mind entirely at rest on this important question. There is, at least, a fortnight after the meeting of Parliament in which to pass such a Bill. Fourteen days from the first Friday after Parliament meets are allowed for presenting private petitions, and the required sum must be deposited before the petition is presented. Such a Bill, introduced by the Government, could meet with no opposition. What ever opinion individuals may entertain of the cha racter of the railway movement, every one must wish to diminish, if possible, its evil consequences; no one can wish to punish speculators, whether dishonest or honest, but foolish, by producing a convulsion of the money market. That the Act regulating the payment of deposits (1 and 2 Vic. , c. 117,) does not authorise the Ac countant-General to take Government securities, is to be ascribed, of course, only to an oversight. Such an extent of railway speculation as that of the pre sent year was never foreseen, and the Legislature has not provided for the case. There is no blame attaching to the omission under the circumstances; but, now that the evil of the mistake is disco vered, it should be rectified without delay. Consider the mischievous operation of the present regulations, where the sums to be deposited are (as now) so large as to be sure to affect materially the market value of Government securities, if there is a general rush to realise for the purpose of making the deposits, or to invest, after the deposits are made. Companies which have temporarily invested their moneys in Consols or Exchequer-bills will have to sell out at a loss, in order to make the required deposit ; and afterwards, wishing to invest the amount deposited in Government securities, as they may under the Act, on petitioning the Court of Exchequer, they will have to sustain a still further loss by buying in at the higher price, caused by the general rush to invest. We hope that, if the Government do not *quickly promise to do what in them lies, the directors and bankers of leading railway companies will combine to press them to it. In a matter of this kind any additional day's suspense ,is a serious evil. Let the Government make up its mind at once, at.d, without delay, declare it. In the mean time, we end as we began, by say ing that the Speaker's authority for payment by instalments, will do much good, and has already been felt beneficially. And we have a very strong belief that amalgamations and other causes will con siderably reduce the sum to be deposited, and that the current calculation of thirty millions is to a great extent imaginary. A short time will show. We have received Madrid journals of the 3d. The Herald°, now a Government paper, publishes the fol lowing intelligence from Buenos Ayres, but without any date :--The brig Nuevo Colon, which has re cently arrived at Malaga, from Monte Video, brings intelligence that Buenos Ayres had been the theatre of an insurrection. The consequences of it have been the fall of ROSAS, President of the Republic, who has escaped by a miracle, and the entry into the capital of the Argentine Republic of the combined forces of England and France. This news (adds the Heraldo), which we consider possible, must have been expected from the moment Roses deter mined on struggling, not only with Monte Video, Paraguay, and Corientes, but also with England and France. The war is thus at an end on the unhappy banks of the river Plate." This news, says that jour nal, created " a great sensation " at Madrid. We only hope it may prove authentic, and are inclined to place some confidence in it,. from the statement, which i quite new, that an insurrection had taken place at Buenos Ayres. The Spanish funds continued firm. On the 3d the Three per Cents. closed at 36k, at 60 days, and the Five per Cents. at 28k, at 60 days. The accounts received at Paris from Algiers, and published in some of the journals, are of a most dis tressing character. We had thought that the almost universal indignation expressed by the French journals and French people against the massacre at Dahra had put an end to the horrid system, and that Louts PHILIPPE and Marshal SOULT, who deplored the event, had taken measures for carrying on the war in Africa, according to the rules of modern war fare, but these hopes have been miserably disap pointed. BUGSAUD, mad with a spirit of revenge for the total defeat Gf his plans, has renewed the system with increased fury and cruelty, and seems determined to trust to nothing but the utter extirpation of the Arab race for the conquest of the country. He has commenced razzias on a grand scale. Women and children, and cattle are carried off, and the men fit to bear arms are put to the sword, or shot as criminals. It is time for the French Government to look at the character which it is acquiring throughout Europe by yielding to the savage propensities of BUGSAUD, and to save itself from universal execration by putting an end to scenes of cruelty which are a disgrace to the nine teenth century. The French press is nut to blame. It has denounced the system in the strongest lan guage; and we make these remarks, therefore, not for the purpose of reproach, but fbr lending moral aid to the cause of humanity. There can be no doubt whatever of the facts to which we have adverted. They are stated by French writers on the spot, and are recorded as the ordinary occurrences of the day. One of these correspondents, who writes from Marshal BUGEAUD'S camp, on the 19th of November, says;--" The Marshal reached Bel-Assel to-day, bringing with him the spoils of a monster razzia made in the environs of the Riou. General BoURJOLLY's column is on the Alenassa, among the Flittas, where he has fixed his camp, at a placed called Dad Sidi Ben Abdallah. Prim this spot he sends out de tachments in every direction, as from a centre, to the extent of 12 and 15 leagues, harassing the people, and killing without mercy every man they meet with, On the ith 44 Bedouins were shot in the country of the Garboussas. Testerday were scoured the fright= fill ravines of the Chaufas, in the country of the Sidi Gayas, and two grottoes, in which abtut persons had taken refuge, were filieit with suffocating smoke. We are carrying on -a war in the true spirit of Attila. Women and children alone are spared. The enemy shows no disposition to surrender at discretion, the only condition oh which mercy can be granted. We are then to continue our work of extermination until we are stopped by the badness of the weather. We must also of necessity begin again in the spring, unless at that period we are called away, as there is every appearance of our be ing., to the frontier of Morocco, where the storm is beginning to lower. ABD-EL-KADBR has become more powerful ; than ever." The National has a spirited article, denouncing these horrible scenes. We give it without abridgement, and have no doubt that it will be responded to by men of all parties in France : "Two letters, from which we give extracts, bring us news, which will awaken in the minds of our readers sentiments of indignation, such as the dreadful exploits of Colonel Pelissier gave birth to some months back. M. Bugeaud recommences the barbarous war which he had the deplorable courage to cry up in his official journals. Furious at not being able to put down the insurrection which his incapacity had favoured, he takes revenge somewhat in the manner of those savages who use a victory only to proscribe and massac t re e . nAlready h h o a o r li e thirteen villages been burnt down ill t of Tlemcen. General Bou.rj&liy, in the words of one of the letters, goes on rooting out the populations, and killing without pity every man that falls into his power. As many as fifty prisoners have been shot in a single day. In fine, to inaugurate worthily the new work of extermination, the horrible drama of the Dahra has been renewed—two grottoes have been smoked out, and God only knows how many poor wretches have been killed there ! All this is very fine ! M. Bugeaud commits fault on fault. He permits Abd-el-Kader to get up a revolt, and to depopulate the centre and the frontier of the province of Oran; he exhausts himself in useless efforts, and when he sees the Emir, profiting by his strange aberrations, come and brave him in the neighbourhood of the Flittas, he finds nothing better to do than to decide on frightful reprisals, to order heads to be cut off, and to stifle his enemies by hundreds iu the asylums to which they have fled. It is a war worthy of Attila,' says the writer of one of the letters. Was it thus that General Lamoriciere acted when he also could abuse his victory over the insurgents of the western frontier? No. Every where the campaign was commencing *nen the massacre of Commandant Montagnac's heroic column took place The blood of our murdered brethren cried for ven geance, and it might be supposed that a vigorous blow struck at this moment would retain the wavering tribes in their obedience. General Lamorciire knew how to stop the arm of his soldiers, because he comprehended that a French army ought never to forget that it fights in the name of a nation marching at the head of the ci vilisation of the world. M. Bugeaud is not of the same way of thinking. His incapacity has contributed to keep the Arabs from us, and his violence drives them into the army of Abd-el-Kader—nothing will be wanting to the African glory of Marshal Bugeaud. In place of burning men and villages, M. Bugeaud would do better to direct his attention to our enemy, who profits wonderfully by the delays of our army ; it was necessary for the Emir to advance as far as Loha, near Tiaret, for the Gene ral‘in-Chief to;.consent to send after him one of his lieutenants with some:battalions ; and, to come up with this antagonist of such known activity, he placed at the disposal of General Joussouf a column composed principally of infantry It was with 1,100 foot soldiers and 300 cavalry that this officer went in pursuit of the Emir to the skirts of the desert of Sahara ! Infantry to act against a man almost unapproachable, well served also by innumerable spiv, and surrounded by the best cavalry in the province of Oran ! M. Bugeaud, however, deems it more useful and more glorious to renew the lamentable success of the Dahia ; he is sure to be in every spot where Abd-el Kader is not. Yester dayhe was lost in inextricablemouwains, whither no real cause invited him to go ; to-day he has quitted Sidi Bel Assel, where he arrived with a column, harassed with fatigue ; now he triumphs in the country of the Flittas, where the absence of the most enterprising partisans of Abd-el-Kader leaves him ample opportunity to extermi nate by fire and sword what remains of the tribe. We do not hesitate to declare that this new fault of M. Bu geaud gives the finishing stroke to our cause in the in surgent province. The blind vengeance of the Governor will be the most powerful auxiliary of the Emir, and all hope of coming to a lasting pacification appears to us indefinitely adjourned. We say nothing of the moral prejudice which may result to our army from the atro cities of which they are found to be the instruments." The articles in the other journals are without in terest for the English reader. Prayers for the con version of the British nation to the Catholic faith commenced in the Paris churches on Monday, and are to be continued for eight days. The following notice has been posted in the principal churches : " At the request of the bishops of England, expressed to the Archbishop of Paris by the Bishop of Mittello polis, prayers will be offered up to God during eight days, reckoning from the present day, on the occasion of the holy immaculate conception of the blessed Virgin Mary, for the entire return of the English nation to the Catholic, Apostolic, and Roman faith. " On Monday the Bishop of Lucox, assisted by several prelates, commenced the holy work, by preaching a sermon on the subject at the church of Notre Dame des Victoires.

Report says that Sir ROBERT PEEL'S resignation was received by her MAJESTY without hesitation, although Sir ROBERT PEEL'S line of intended policy would have had her MAJESTY'S warm support. Lord JOHN RUSSELL was at once sent for; but, as the Noble Lord is at present in Edinburgh, some days must elapse before he can obey the summons. Par liament cannot now meet so early as was expected ; and upon the course taken by Sir ROBERT PEEL, will depend the prospect of a dissolution. It is believed that Sir ROBERT will support Lord JOHN RUSSELL in his general policy. The Premier was almost alone in his views in his own Cabinet. i le und e rstandin consequence of the resig nation W o of Ministers, that, rs,he MAJESTY will leave Osborne House on Saturday next, in order to be in nearer comtnunication with those who are to become her NEW ADVISERS.

RESIGN ATI ON THE MINISTRY. (From the Morning Herald.) Sir Robert Peel's Government is at an end. All the members of the Cabinet yesterday tendered their resignation, which her Majesty was pleased to accept. It will be easily believed that we regret this de termination of her Majesty's advisers ; but we should much more regret their unanimous determination to sacrifice the industry of the country by stripping it of all protection. The important fact now announced proves how completely wrong the Times was when it stated that that the Government had decided upon proposing to Parliament, as a Cabinet measure, the repeal of the corn-laws. (From the Morning Chrcnicle.) An official announcement, in another part of our paper, confirms one part of the statement which we made yesterday—namely, that Parliament, instead of being summoned for the dispatch of business, would be again prorogued. The other and more important part of our announcement is, we believe, equally correct. The Cabinet, we are assured, re signed yesterday. It is.confidently said, that so far from the Cabinet having at any time come to a decision to recommend the repeal of the corn-law, a large majority of his colleagues have throughout been opposed to Sir Robert Peel's recommendation. (From the Times.) ,Yesterday Parliament was further prorogued to the 30th instant. The naming of so early a day would of itself imply that the Cabinet is not now in a state to meet Parliament. The rumours, however, which have been confidently circulated in the best informed quarters since Monday, and circumstances which have come to our knowledge since the return of the Ministers last night from Osborne llouse, leeve scarcely any reasonable doubt that the re viving repugnance of the Duke to the decision of his colleagues has rendered it necessary for them to tender their resignation to her Majesty. An un foreseen difficulty of course there must have been somewhere. After so long and close a succes sion of Councils, that difficulty could only arise from a struggle between the declared intentions of the chief, and the prejudice or pride of some of his col leagues. Were the Ministry certain of meeting Par liament as the servants of the Crown, it would have fixed the day, and our prediction would have been to the letter fulfilled. That is no longer possible. Some minor changes, as we intimated at the first, there would undoubtedly have been ; but it is to the graver difficulty that this new and unforeseen delay must be ascribed. It is said to have been only by the most unqualified expressions of opinion that the leaders of the Cabinet gained the unwilling com pliance of the only considerable dissentient. There can be no doubt, that—what was all along to be ap prehended—the representative-general of the Lords has since felt with returning anxiety the weight of the numerous proxies notless rashly undertaken than rashly confided to his care. The head of an aris tocracy demands, it may easily be imagined, a little more time to act, if not to resolve. It is not, however, always possible to adjust the interests of a Cabinet, much less those of a nation, to the con venience, the:dignity, or the humour of an individual. An obstinacy which is assumed with a less serious intention may be maintained a day too long, to the ruin both of colleagues and cause. Mean time whatever may happen, whoever may be in next month, very few hours can pass without proving to the nation the substantial truth of our first momentous announcement—viz., that the leaders of the Cabinet were resolved upon proposing a total repeal of the corn-laws. They were resolved to the utmost of their power. They were resolved to do this, or nothing—to repeal the corn-laws, or be no Ministers. If the Duke sees peril in that measure, or feels reluctance to undertake it, he will have to realise the dangers and disagreeables on the other side of the scale —the dissolution of the Conserva tive Ministry, and the interposition of a rival, and in some respects a more suitable agency. He will be assured that his own punctilios, so far from im peding the measure, may perhaps only render it the first of a series still less to his taste and convenience. Whatever amount of distrust he may feel in his pre sent (if not by this time his late) colleagues, he will be only too sure of the statesmen and the policy he will help to inaugurate in their stead. If he has not the heart to solicit the Lords in behalf of friends, he will, nevertheless, not escape the still more arduous task of conducting his little aristocratical troop against the close and serried phalanx of an unanimous people headed by inveterate foes. SUPPLEMENT TO THE LONDON GAZETTE OF TUESDAY. At the Court at Osborne House, Isle of Wight, the 10th day of December, 1845, present the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty in Council,—lt is this day ordered by her Majesty in Council, that the Parlia ment, which stands prorogued to Tuesday, the six teenth day of December instant, be further pro rogued to Tuesday, the thirtieth day of December instant. MORtALItt- IN THE METROPOLIS.—The number of deaths during the Week ending December 6, was 920, showing a decrease of 25, as cotilpared with the previous week. We regret to find that the deaths from measles and diSettste of the organs of respiration are on the in crease: The number of - violent deaths was 27, of which 11 *ere frottt fractures and contusions and 6 from burns. The others *tete eattskid by hanging, drowning, and poison, or medicines improperly tidmitustered, %e find only 3 suicides. LIDPIPOP; MARITIME INSTITUTION.—The dnni versary of this Wry old and excellent institution was cele brated yesterday evening in the usual manner at the Lon don Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, in the lafge dining-room of which establishment the patrons and supporters of the society sat down, at six o'clock, to an hospitable banquet, provided by Messrs. Bathe and Breach. The chair was taken by Mr. Henry Barkiy, M,P., supported on his right hand by Mr. J. Locke, of the Trinity. house, attd , on his left by Mr. G. Fa Young. There were present manycaptahis Itt the mer chant service, and gentlemen connected with the shipping and colonial interests. The musical arrangements were con ducted by Messrs. T. Cooke, Hatton, and Mr. Hawkins, of the Chapel Royal. The cloth havitig been removed, and the Non Nobis sung, the Chairman protsised the health of her Majesty, which was drunk with all the honours and good feeling with which it is invariably re ceived. This toast was followed by the healths of Prince Albert, of the Queen Dowager, and the rest of the Royal family, to which the company responded with cheers. The toasts, the Army and Navy, the Trinity House, &c., ware also given and received with cordial good-will. The Chair man then gave success to the institution the company were assembled to support, and made some brief but pertinent remarks on its peculiar claims in a commercial country. This toast was received with cheers, long and loud; and shortly after the secretary announced the subscriptions of the contributors to the funds, viz.—the Trinity House, 105/.; Mr. W. Curling, 20/. ; the Chairman, 10/. ; Mr. Foster, M.P., 51 . t Captain Locke, Si.;• Lieutenant Waghorn, &c., making a gross amount of subscriptions of nearly 400/. Mr. Fowles then proposed the health of the chairman, and in doing so, amongst other observations, remarked that the society was, from the good it effected, entitled to much more general support than it received from the masters of mer chant ships in the port of London. They were a very numerous body, and might, by their co-operation, produce most beneficial results, and by subscribing to the funds of the institution which the ;company were met to celebrate, enable it to extend its advantages. He hoped they would come forward liberally, and by their assistance render the London Maritime Institution able to do more extensive good. Mt. 11. Barkly having returned thanks for the way in which his health was received, several other toasts were drank, and the festivity kept up till late in the evening. • OPE MENT.—The town of Stowmarket wa s a ` small excitement on Wednesday last, by the thrown no tthe fair and accomplished daughter of the inform a ti on ti, Henniker, of Plashwoods, Haughley, had Rev.

Bridge 2% 117 0 Quite a sensation was produced in our City circles this morning by the announcement of the most important fact, that the Cabinet of Sir Robert Peel is at an end, temporarily as is most ardently hoped, as of late the general feeling has been that the Right Honourable Baronet has been making rapid strides in favour of free trade, or perhaps, more correctly speaking, an approximation thereto. Who will be sent for ? This is a question not very easily replied to. The Duke of Richmond is talked of—but lie could not get a Ministry together that would stand a week's debate upon the corn-laws. Will the Queen not request Sir Robert to re-constitute a Cabinet ? The general impression is that her Majesty will call upon Sir R. Peel to take the helm again ; and if a dead set is made against him on the great question, that a general elec tion is all but inevitable. The result of such an appeal to the country at the present moment, and under the circumstances of the nation, would, without a question, be in favour of free trade. There are not any later arrivals in the City from the colonies to-day.
