Fellowes, the Asia, 84, Captain Fisher, and the Castor, 36, Captain Collier. At seven they cleared the harbour with a light breeze from the S. W., steering N. W., and the escorting division having returned into port on Saturday last, we are enabled to lay before the public, who from the boisterous state of the weather for the past week, have been somewhat anxious on the subject, the following particulars of the cruise, to which we have to add, that it is generally conjectured by the Officers of the squadron that the Hastings must have taken shelter in Palma, or some other port on the S. W. coast of Sardinia. At nine on the morning of departure, when off St. Paul's Bay, a signal was made from the Hastings to the effect that her Majesty commanded the company to dinner, at half-past four, of the Captains of the respocare ships in comptny, and or fr. Ifter lo- Gozo at about ten, and shortly after lost sight of these pos sessions. A t four p.m. they hove to, lowered their boats, and the respective captains went on board the Hastings, except Sir T. Fellosves, who excused himself on the plea of indisposition. Her Majesty presided at the dinner, and was very affable to her guests. On the return of the boats they were hoisted in, and they then hauled to the wind during dinner. At seven the ships again hove to, lowered their boats, and got the captains on board; during the night the wind increased, and at daybreak on Tuesday they were under double-reefed topsails and fore sail, with their top-gallant masts and yards lowered owing to its blowing very hard from the S. E. ; at eight a.m. they were off Maritimo, when the Hustings made a signal " If the Commodore wishes to part company, he can do so ; the Queen bids you all farewell, and you have her best wishes." The Commodore then signalized to the other ships under his orders to haul their wind on the star board tack, blowing at the time very strong, on which account they could not otherwise salute her Majesty than by hoisting their ensigns; at noon it blew a perfect hur ricane, such as no officer or seaman in the squadron had ever before experienced in the Mediterranean ; the Rod ney's main-deck guns were constantly under water, and the Vanguard and Asia were excessively wet; indeed, no other sail could be shown than the main trysail ; the Rodney, Asia, and Castor split their main topsails in the act of taking them in, and several other damages were suffered by each of the ships. On Wednesday the wind veered to the west, blowing so frei,b as to baffle the endca , yours of the ships to avail themselves of it, by getting to windward of Maritimo and the mainland of Sicily, and on reached their anchorag e i n M a l ta harbour Saturdayt morning at eight o'clock. Th e British squadron in are busily engaged taking i n four montles provisions, po an r d it is rumoured that the ships w ill put to sea very shortly. Lieutenant Lord Henry Russell, invalided from the Tyne, has gone home in the Hastings, and Lieutenant Davy, late of the Castor, takes his passage in the Firefly, to sail for England about the nth instant.

DEATH OF MISS BATHURST._..It appears that was residing at R ome under the Miss Bathurst, wh o protection of her unc le and aunt, Lord an d L ady Alymer, rode out with them , escorte by tire Fronds Ambassador, Monte-Imre:lca The gr oom o f Mi ss the Duc de Laval - ar Bathurst was cent b ack to the residence of Lord Ayl mer, with some message; and when th e p arty arrived neAyl mer, too Pont di Molle, the Duke proposed leading them by a path which lie had often ridden along the bank of the Tiber. The river having become swollen, portions of the bark had given way, which had rendered the path so narrow that, after pursuing it some short distance the D u k e, who was foremost, proposed retracing, their steps. I n endeavouring to turn her horse, Miss Mal urst unfortunately backed him too near the edge of the bank, and the horse and rider were lunged into the river. Not one of the party could swim ; nevertheless, Lord Ay lmer attempted to rush i n t o th e ' water, and had advanced some paces when his distracted wife forciblyseboae thisck.

Lord CA MPERDO - WN presented a petition from Leith, praying that measures might be adopted for the purpose of completing the Caledonian Canal. . , - The Duke of RICHMOND presented petitions from Inverness, and a great many printing-offices in London, praying for the adoption of a penny postage ; the Noble Duke also presented petitions from Elgin and other places in Scotland, praying for Church Ex tension in that country. Lord CAWDOR presented a petition from the county of Nairn, praying for Church Extension in Scotland. BEER-BILL. Lord PORTMAN wished Co know if the Noble and Learned Lord who had a motion for to-night on the subject of an alteration of the Beer Bill, would have any objection to postpone the discussion of thQ subject to-night in consequence of a notice standing on the votes of the other House of Parlia ment, for discussing the same measure to morrow night, and he (the Noble Lord) thought it would he better that Government would introduce a Bill on the subject. Lord BROUGHAM said he understood why his Noble Friend put that question to him at that moment, and he begged to say he should not answer the question then, but in a quarter of an hour hence.—(Laughter.) The Noble and Learned Lord then presented peti tions from Stockport, Chapel-le-Frith, Canterbury, Lewes, Bristol, and several other places against the .13cer. Act. RESIGNATION OF MINISTERS. Lord MELBOURNE rose amidst evidently the greatest interest throughout the House, and upon which there was profound silence. His Lordship said— My Lords, I consider it my duty to seize the earliest opportunity of acquainting your Lordships that in consequence of the vote to which the House of Commons has come this morning, and which your Lord ships may see on the votes of that House of Parliament —a vote which although not immediately fatal to the mea sure against which it was levelled, yet at the same time, to all who are acquainted with Parliamentary proceedings, we know is of such a nature as to render the final success of that measure totally impossible ; and con sidering that measure as of the highest possible and most paramount importance—that it is of the most paramount importance, both with respect to the island to which it relates, and to the working out of that great measure passed for emancipating the negroes, which has been voted by both Houses of Parlia ment with so much satisfaction, and for which so great sacrifices have been made : considering that measure to be of the utmost and paramount importance for those great objects—and considering also that the vote upon this occasion is not only necessarily ultimately fatal to the success of that great measure, but that it also does with sufficient clearness and distinctness, indicate such a want of confidence on the part of a great proportion of that House of Parliament,as torender it absolutelyimpossible that we should continue to administer the affairs of her Ma jesty's Government in a manner which can be useful and beneficial to the country, and that it renders it impossible that we should take those measures of energy and of importance which are absolutely required by the situation and circumstances of the coun try, but which, my Lords, if they are taken, allow me to say, there is no danger or peril to be apprehended to any one part of the possessions of this country : I say, my Lords, under these considerations, and under the pressure of these circumstances we have thought it our duty to tender to her Majesty the resignation of' the offices which we hold, and which her Majesty has been graciously pleased to accept. We, there fore, now only retain those offices and continue to discharge the functions of them until other arrange ments are made, and successors appointed for the carry ing on of the business of the country. Lord BROUGHAM—My Lords, after what has fallen from the Noble Lord I shall postpoae the second reading of my Bill, although I consider that Bill to be of more importance as regards the public morals than the_resignation . of any Ministry. I do not apprehend hi in- a due regard Co what I hold to tions of the Legislature, namely, superintend inn the morals and instruction and welfare of the people under their care, as to allow any mere party feeling, any temporary, and, it may be, only mo mentary gratification of those feelings, to interfere with what I hold to be the highest duty of the Senate in this country. My Lords, I hold this Bill, and the repealing of this Bill, to be of greater moment than any party question that can divide either House of Parliament ; and I shall persist, whoever holds the office of Minister of this country, in my en deavours to obtain the repeal of a measure which I be lieve to be permanently fraught with mischief to the character of the country.—(Hear, hear.) I have only to add, in reference to what has fallen front my Noble Friend respecting the measure touched, and, as he thought justly, fatally touched by the vote of this morning in the other House of Parliament—that I greatly rejoice to hear him say that one of his reasons fur lamenting the fate of that measure was, that he allowed it to inter fere with the well working of the great measure of Negro Emancipation. My Lord, that measure was confined to Jamaica—that measure if it was good for an Eman cipation Bill in Jamaica, was good for it all the slave colonies over—and I therefore take the earliest occa sion of stating, that I shall not be wanting in my duty to that great measure of emanci pation, and that whoever holds the Government of this country, I shall give that Government an early opportunity of testifying what I verily believe to be the unanimous determination of all parties, of all men, and of both Houses of Parliament, the strict en• foreement, according to the spirit as well as the letter, of the great measure of Negro Emancipation all over the Colonies, and no greater error—believe me—no greater error ever was committed by men, by parties, by assemblies, or by Legislatures in general, than the Jamaica Assembly will commit if they believe that this is a triumph of the white over the black. Men may differ as to the mode of proceeding, —m en may prefer one mode, or they may prefer another, but there is no loss sustained by the slave, who has been emancipated, in the loss of one measure, if other measures can be propounded, which will efft!etually secure the working, and enforcement in the spirit as well as in the letter, all over the Colonies, as well as i n J ama i ca, of the great measure of Negro Emancipati on . My Lords, all the Legislators of this country, and all the people of this country, are solemnly pledged to take that course ; and I do not believe that any Government can stand in this country for forty-eight hours, which showed that it was not determined firmly and honestly to execute that law.—(Cheers.) A message from the Commons brought up several Private Bills. The Bills oa the table were forwarded a stage. The Bishops' Residences Bill w::nt through Com mittee. The House then adjourned to Friday. HOUSE OF COMMONS, Me l' 7. The SPEAKER took the Chair at the usual hour. CLUN (SALOP) INCLOSURE. Mr. CLIVE, on bringing up the report of the Com mittee on the Clan (Salop) Inclosure Bill, said as tie present was the first Inclosure Bill brought, before the House since the resolution of the Hon. Member for Southwark, he would beg to state that it was proposed by the Bill to enclose 1,700 acres—the population was 860, and it was proposed to appropriate 30 acres for the use of the poor of the district, five acres for purposes of recreation, the remaining 25 for the growing of turf and other fuel. Mr. 1). W. HARVEY said the House would be gratified to find that its unanimous resolution had been carried out in so liberal manner by the promoters of the Bill. He trusted when they were doing very little in that House but quarrelling with themselves, and making such slight aqvanees in political or social improvement, that the present trlfEng evi dence of a disposition to advance the interests of the people would be received in a proper spirit.— (Hear, hear, hear.) He believed it would be neces sary to give to the resclution the permanency of a Standing Order, otherwise it would expire with the present Session. It had been stated by some com mentator in the press that the resolution was stripped of its utility because it did not impose on the parish the permanent maintenance of the inclosure, but it would be found that the resolution fully provided for that. Mr. PRYME feared that land apportioned in that way would occasion nothing but a mere scramble among the poor, and suggested that it would be much better to have it set out in small portions. The Report was then agreed to, and ordered to be engrossed. LONDON AND BLACK WALL RAILWAY. Mr. PRYME moved that the evidence taken before the London and Blackwall Railway Committee be printed. The Committee had sat tel days, and the evidence was of a very voluminous nature. The SPEAKER thought the application quite un usual, and he was not aware that the House had ever authorized the printing of the evidence on a Private Bill at its expense. Mr. PRYME said the promoters of the Bill were willing to pay the expense, but they understood it could ❑at be done without the authority of that House. The motion was then agreed to. Sir R. INGLIS presented a petition agreed to unanimously by the Convocation of the University of Oxford, in which they stated that under Divine Pro vidence, the Church of England had been the means of conferrin g countless blessings upon this country—that in consequence of the rapid increase of the population of England and Wales, there was now great spiritual destitution existing in the country ; that was a national evil, and they prayed the House to take such measures as they, in their wisdom, might see fit for putting an end to it. The Hon. Baronet also presented several petitions against the ecclesiastical Duties and Revenues Bill, and for protection to the Church in the colonies. Mr. DEN ISON said lie had a petition to present which gave him much pain, inasmuch as it reflected upon the conduct of a Nobleman from whom lie had re ceived much courtesy, the Lord Lieutenant of the county of Surrey. The petition was from Major -, who stated that his family had resided in the county since the days of Henry VIII., that he had held a Com mission in the militia for forty years, and durinc , the last thirty years bad held the rank of a Field' Officer The petitioner submitted that he wasjully qualified for and entitled to promotion ; that in 1313 S he was abroad, and was unable to make any application to the Lord Lieutenant, but that on his return he did apply, and was then informed that the Lieutenant-Coloneley bad been filled up by the appointment of an officer in an unusual manner, and, he believed, from political mo tives. The petitioner prayed that some regulation might be made to prevent the recurrence of such in justice. After a few words from Capt. PE RCE V A L, the peti tion was laid on the table. Mr. HOPE JOHNSTONE presented a petition fromKirkcudbright against any alteration in the Corn-laws. Lord DUNGANNON presented petitions from places in the County of Cambridge against any further grant to Maynooth College, and a petition from Den bigh against the Government plan of education. Mr. LIDDELL presented petitions from various places in the county of Durham praying for support to the Established Church in Canada, and also against any scheme. of education not in connection with the Esta blished Church. Sir R. BATESON presented six petitions from various places in the county of Londonderry, complain ing of the religious grievances of Presbyterian soldiers, and praying for the appointment of Presbyterian chap lains to Presbyterian regiments. Sir GEORGE SINCLAIR presented a petition from some place in Scotland, praying for a repeal of the Catholic Emancipation Act. Mr. MARK PHILLIPS presented several peti tions in favour of the plan for a penny postage. Mr. PAKINGTON presented a petition from Won, cester in favour of scriptural education. Lord IN G ESTRIE presented petitions in favour of a penny postige. Mr. ELLIS presented a similar petition from Newry. Serg?ant TALFOURD presented a petition to the same effect from Reading. Mr. AGLION BY presented a petition from Cock ermouth, praying for a uniform rate of Postage. Mr. BRISCOE presented similar petitions from Riegate and Chertsey. RESIGNATION OF MINISTERS. At five o'clock their being upwards of five hundred Members present, Lord J. RUSSELL rose and said—Sir, I wish to make a communication to the House, in conseqaence of what took place last night on the motion of the Right Hon. Baronet opposite for the rejection of a Bill to provide for the Government of Jamaica. Sir, it will be evident to this House that that was a Bill requiring more than ordinary support and more than ordinary confidence, and that it met with less support and less confidence on the part of this House I than that usually given to her Majesty's Ministers. It has therefore become their duty to consider in what position they are placed. with respect to that Bill. It would undoubtedly be in their power to proceed to ano ther stage of the Bill, and again to ask the opinion of the House upon the question, but we see no reason to suppose that the jodgment of the House on a second ,trial would be different from that already given. We migiit likewise, - with the support of a majority no greater than that which we received last night, send that Bill to the House of Lords, . and leave it to the House of Lords to deal with it as they thought proper. But this course, Sir, on a Bill which certainly vests in the Government, and the Governor and Council of Jamaica, unusual powers, would have an appearance of throwing upon the House of Lords, a responsibility which I do not think we are fairly entitled to throw upon them, after the vote which has been come to by the House of Commons. There seems, therefore, no option but to give up the Bill, which it was our duty to bring forward. Sir, it is then a question, whether, having brought forward a Bill of that impor tance, we shall leave the state of affairs in Jamaica, in the West India Colonies, and in our colonies in ge -1 neral, in a state in which a Minister of the Crown ought to be content to leave these Colonies. It is obvious that in Jamaica the authority of the Crown would be greatly weakened by the support which a vote of the House of Commons would give, in effect and in impression, to the contumacy—for so I must call it—of the House of Assembly, against the proposition of the Minister of the Crown. Sir, I think it is obvious, likewise, that the effect would be, that with regard to other Colonies, where hitherto there has been, if not an eager, yet an ultimate compliance with the wishes of the Crown. there would be a disposition rather to imitate the resist ance which has been made by Jamaica, than a perseve rance in the course they have taken. But there is this further question, that it was our intention and our duty to have brought forward, within these few days, another question relating to the Colonies—relating to the important provinces of Upper and Lower Ca nada, whose affairs have repired, and do still require, the most deliberate consideration of Parliament. Now it is evident that the measure with regard to Jamaica having been so opposed—opposed by such large numbers in this House, that we could not calculate upon the support which was necessary for the settle ment of the affairs of Canada—therefore, Sir, in continuing in the administration of affairs, not having, as I think we have not, a sufficient degree of the confidence and support by which we could carry on those affairs efficiently, we should be exposing to jeopardy the colonial empire of this country—colonies which I will not say are in a state of hazard, but in which questions of considerable importance are pending. Sir, hitherto her Majesty's Ministers have thought themselves justified in continuing in the administration of affairs, supported as they were by the confidence of the Crown, and by the confidence of the House of Commons. But after the vote of last night, Ido not think I am entitled to say that, in the very great and important affairs on which Government were obliged to come to a decision, they have such support and such confidence in this House, as to enable them efficiently to carry an public affairs. It has therefore, Sir,been the duty of her Majesty's Ministers, in consideration of all these circumstances, humbly to tender their resignations. Sir, with regard to the course which is to be taken to night., I shall take the usual course in such cases, to move the adjournment of the House for a short period, in or der to (liable her Majesty to form an Administration which may carry on the affairs of this country. But I cannot, Sir, close what I have now to say without expressing on this occasion, as I shall be ready to ex press on every occasion, and as I shall feel to the latest hoer of my life, my gratitude to those who have supported the Government during the four years in which they have held the arduous situa tion in which they have been placed, under no slight difficulties, under circumstances of no ease or facility—to those who have supported the Govern ment in such a manner, that altksugh they have not at • any time had the confidence of the majority of the House of Lords, they have felt it consistent with their 1 notions of duty to carry on the administration of affairs. Sir, I say, that to those who have given us this efficient s upport, and who have been always ready to show in ' this House, their willingness to do everything in their power to promote the great principles on which we aro agreed, to them we shall ever feel the deepest gratitude. Sir, I now move that the House at its rising do ad- THE SIXTH EDI TION. Now ready, with ColOureiill;tes, THE LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS. By the Editor of " The Forget-me-not." IL THE BOOK OF FLOWERS.

Mr. 'WARBURTON wouhl put it to the Hon. and Learned Member whether in the present stike of the House, and of the public business, be would attempt to proceed with a Bill of so much importance. Mr. Serzeant TALFOURD said most certaly. Sir ROBERT INGLIS 'trusted y that his Learned Friend would take the sense of the House upon that Bill. If any question could be free of party it certainly was that one. He hoped every Hon. Member would remain and divide upen the question. No Government whatever was required to watch over such a Bill. Sir ROBERT PEEL certainly considered the Bill as one of immense importance. He had given his strenu ous support to the Hon. and Learned Member the other evening ; but in the present state of things he would certainly advise him not to proceed further with it at present.—(Hcar, hear.) He would find it impos sible, after the excitement in which the House had been, to get Members to apply themselves with such delibera tion as such a Bill required. Mr. Sergearn. TALFOURD said, after the appeal that had been made to him by the Right Hon. adrenet, who was the best judge of how far it was proer to pres any bill under such circumstances, he would decline to press his motion. He would therefore postpone it till this day week. At the suggestion of the SPEAKER, it w,:.s ordered that the Orders of the Ddy for the present week should stand for corresponding days in the neat.

THE UNITED SERVICE JOURNAL FOR MAY is unusually interesting and valuable. It opens with an " Examination of the Law of Storms," tracing the gradual progress of that important branch of science to the recent discoveries of Mr. Redfield and Colonel Reid, il!utrating the statements by diagrams and tables. The next article is a letter by Captain E. Chappell, R. N., " On Acci dents to Steam-vessels," which will be found of great service' in the forthcoming investigation in Committee of the House of Commons on the disasters to vessels navigated by steam.—" Reasons for a warlike attitude in Peace," is followed, appropriately enough, by " Notes on the Military Esta'ulisliments of the United States," which, besides a brief history of the American armies, points out the means taken by our Transatlantic brethren to furnish their army and militia with efficient officers, &c.—" A brief Survey or the Routes by which Russia may march to the frontiers of British India," points out the difficulties of the project and the means for surmounting them.—Major Bert gives an entertaining account of " Adventures from Gibraltar."— Lieutenant Sabben has an article on the preservation of Ships from Lightning ; and Captain Ramsay a Paper on " Connecting and Disconnecting Paddle-wheals."—The Correspondence, 4c., embraces the astral variety of useful subjects. THE LIFE AND ADVENTURES OF 'MICHAEL ARMSTRONG, rim FACTORY BOY, BY MRS. TROLLOPR..—. The third number of this iotcresting tale is now before us, and is equal to its predecessors. Poor Mike seems as little re conciled to his new abode and fine dress as ever; his bed-rid den mother, and Teddy, occupy his thoughts continually; the interview between the latter, a poor little ragged fellow working in Sir Matthew's factory, and his brother Mike, is very affecting. The vain and overbearing character of the Cotton Lord, and the disgusting m o a b n s y eq i u )a io i u nt s .u n l es i s linu f st t r l a le . Doctor, are finely pourtrayed, and Lions of the working of the odious factory system, which is 80 undermining the health and prospects of the working people, are afforded by our warm - hearted and accompli s h e d authoress. May success attend her studie3 and philan thropy.—Parthenon. THE CHARTISTS IN WALES.—We see in the Tines of yesterday a long article on the " Chartist Insur rection in North Wales," which is an excellent specimen of a penny-a-liner gathering up all the lie.arseys and pos sible mischances of a neighbourhood, and dre6sing them up into an imposing story. For example wo are told it was "rumoured that a large reinforcement of Charaists would arrive from Merthyr Tydvil; but they have not ventured, and all at present is quiet." The rumour is mentioned five days after the occurrences at Llanidloes, and or. it the scribe implies a wicked design in the Merth‘ j r Tydvil men, and want of courage to execute it. Again, " it was anticipated that the Chartists would have stopped and robbed the Aberystwith mail, which passes through Llanidlces ; but they satisfied themselves with placing a pike at the coachman's breast, and exacting from him a promise that lie would not convey the policemen from the town." Out of such tales, almost a week old,• t e penny-a-line Correspondent of the Times weaves an article of a column and a half teeming with absurd accusations of the unfortunate and excited people and of tho Alinisters. We beg to b 9 excused from copying it, like some of our Evening Contemporaries, for it contains nothing new. We except the announcement that the yeomanry of the sur• rounding counties are ordered to be in readiness, or are called out; and at the same time it is stated, that trade is bad in Lianidlocs, and provisions dear. The unarried cr partially armed Chartists, whose bread is taxed, are to be put clown by the armed yeomanry who receive and enjoy the tax.

POOR-LAW AMENDMENT.—A Bill is in the course of preparation in one of the Government Offices, for continuing the functions of the Puor-law Commis sioners for five years longar, and in this measure tcveral' important amendments uf the system will be included. Provision will be made for the more effectual collection bf the Poor-rates under the direction of the Guar-liens. Orphan schools will be established for large district upon • the plan of one which has recently been farmed at Norwood for the children of the metropolitan parishes. It is also proposed to give the Poor-law Commissioners porrjr to dissolve Gilbert's Unions. The Local Acts (which affect about 375 parishes) it is not, we believe, proposed to repeal. An improved system for auditing the Un i on accounts will also, we believe, be introduced. The Bill expected to be on the table of the Hours; of Commons dour: ing the present month. —Her ford 1'45 boner. BELGiUM.—The following :s the plan for the payment of the Scheldt tonnage duties, as stipulated by the 9th article of the treaty with Holland :—" Leopold, • &c.—Seeing that a navigation duty is tqs be levied on the Scheldt by the Nethorlanda 'G ove rnment, and that it must be considered, at least for the time being, as a common charge, it is jest, therefore, that this duty s hould be reim bursed by the public treasuty, and that the befs means of equitabiy , :iivlding this charge is by augmenti* the tariff of the customs duties, in order that they may serve as the basis of payment. Considering, however, that as the pay_ meat is made for the sole profit of Holland, there would be a, (l a mbi,. use of the same sums , were the duties to be repaid to Dutch vessels, we have decreed-1: The d ut i es to be paid to the Netherlands kingdom by ali vessels ow_ ward or inward bound, from c,r to the Sonelu cr the canal of Tsetneust!, shall be reimbursed to the ships oral nations, exciapt to those of the Netherlands. Au extraordinary erec it of 300,000 francs is opened to this effect, & c . &c. 2. I ;gore the Ist of January, 1839, art examination shall take place, in order to see whether the betetits of the rho re disposition shag or shall not continuo to be extended to t I.oso nations with whom no commercisl or navigation err angemcnts shall have been made. 3. IhOrder to meet thi a reimbursement for the year 1839, the additional een tie BeS on all the duties cf customs, transit, and tonnag , :s. sh all be augmented from 15 to 18, from such tine as ishall bet sletcrminedby the Government." _ _ - • HYDROPHOBIA.—A mare belonging to I , Dr. Porter of the Regent's-park, which was bitten by a I dog' supposed to be rabid, was killed yesterday on the Aunt sup position. The death of a policeman who died at ,rletina is also laid at the aforesaid dog's door. "'"" 1"1- Wlll3lll 1 - 1 - UVCCLUSGS way uv nau. BIRMINGHAM and DERBY JUNCTION RAILWAY. T h NINTH CALL--£lO.
