The great question at present is—dissolution or 11 1 ; ) dissolution ; but in any case we advise all true i'Qr mers to be prepared for any alternative. To 6e forewarned is to be fore-armed. Sir ROBE RT P EEL has stolen into office by t rieicery on his own part, and by treachery on the Part of others.

Hitherto the great services whi c h some l'uLviduals have rendered in d past times to t h ese cau ses r p ively, have ma esectde the pri nc i p l es b e e ise dssed partly in s ubservience to their conveni r"eir and the contest has been one of persons than thin-s. Now, however, this respect ill be at an end, and a fair stand-up fight of prin eiples will arise. cie,Wty its e lf is e have stated moie than once of late that undergoingso continual change- and its present transitions are more rapid perhaps than ever hi7fore. In a report of Mr. CARLYLE'S lectures on Itt:voiursons, now in progress of delivery, which appeared yesterday in the Morning Chronicle, we find this truth also dwelt on with great effect. As Lord JOHN RUSSELL in his Letter thinks it seemly to sneer: at it, though the practical denial of it is the base of that Tory policy to which he has, un happily for himself and his party, apparently become a convert,—we think it worth while to quote Mr. CARLYLE'S opinion. He is described as one of the sincerest men, and profoundest thinkers now living, and being a philosophical Tory, his agreement with Radicals is a proof that his opinion is accurate. He says:— The last three hundred years had, in truth, been one revolution, " fytte after fytte" and to shift the age man lived in was impossible. In space he might move, but not in time. Since revolution, then, was inevitable, it became all men to inquire into it, and understand what it was, not with " sectarian vehemence," but in " a Catholic spirit." In this these lectures had originated. The first grand consideration was, that the gradual development of man, as of nature, depended on change. He was a being made of time—his very element mutation. " Morning was, noon is, and evening will be." With him, as with trees, a " large growth" depended on " sudden expansions." Hence arose the great truth that all "successful revolu tions" had been " needful"—indispensably precious—a good the world could not have gone on without. In the interior of them all lodged a priceless thing—a true faith. At the bottom •f every revolution lay a " divine idea of right;" not the wish for it merely, but the faith and con. viction. But there it ought to be, and was. Now there can be no question that the living generation are acting their parts in a great social revolution at present in progress, such as that of which LUTHER was the hero ; and it becomes a most important question, what is the " precious good"—" the true faith"—" the Divine idea of right"—" the conviction" which is operating this great change. Belief, Mr. CARLYLE declared, was the only ground of stability or greatness ; and we agree with him, though, perhaps we differ in opinion as to the origin of this belief or conviction, which can only be itself stable, as it is confirmed by that stable, or rather regular external world to which all men continually appeal as the only com mon test of truth. We agree too with Mr. CARLYLE, that the duty of legislators is " merely to discern what lay in the world already." A law, he says, " must lie dimly in the minds before force can call it forth." If this be true, as we believe it is, if the lawgiver has to regulate his conduct by the " convictions," " belief," and " faith" of the existing generation, in order to en sure stability, and if the battle amongst us is to be, as we say, henceforward about principles, we think the contending parties cannot too soon, and too earnestly examine the convictions, faith, and be lief, for which they are to contend. On what grounds do the Churchmen claim their arrogant dominion over others ? What is the Divine idea of right, the profound belief, the stern conviction for which they are to do battle against the Catholics, the Dissenters, and all the champions of extensive reform, and political and religious freedom ? The preservation of the pro perty of the Church. The priest clutches after gold. He imprisons THOROGOOD for gold ; he shuts JONES up in prison for gold ; he resists the claims of the Catholics to equal privileges with himself, for the sake of gold ; and for the sake of gold he refuses to set the Dissenter free from the Church-tax. Steady, powerful, unflinch ing, and often victorious is the love of gold, at least in •ommerce, where it overcomes all obsta cles, and equally penetrates through mountains, and makes new courses for rivers ; yet as it cannot, and dare not be avowed by the Christian priesthood, as it is directly contrary to the faith, belief, and con nection, which they preach as Christianity, we may at once conclude that their reasoning will be vacillating and weak, and that in the contest of principles they will be defeated. Again what is the faith of the landlords who insist on taxing our bread ? What is the Divine idea of right on which the Corn-laws are based ? Also gold. The rich landlord, who lives in opulence on the labour of other men, is not rich enough ; and the bright belief, the deep conviction, the true faith he has, is that he is deserving of more gold, and more gold he exerts his taxing power to get. Other men love gold as well as the landlord and the priest ; other men have a Divine idea that it is right not to pay taxes to enrich landlords and parsons they have an earnest and a deep conviction, a solemn faith even, that they ought not to be taxed to gratify the love of gold in other men. Theirs is one of the creeds which have got into society before they have got into our laws, which lie, as Mr. CARLYLE says, dimly in society before it can be embodied into words, and which will compel the landlords and par sons, and their political servants, to crush those who entertain that faith, or it is of that nature that it will get the mastery over them. A pretty pros pect, however, that opens fur the present ruling classes. To continue the taxing power, to main tain their arrogant supremacy, they must stifle a burning faith in other men, or they must crush them out of existence. It is deserving of deep consideration that the new Ministry is to be formed on the principle of gratifying this impure love of gold in the priests and the landlords. Sir R. PEEL and all his friends are pledged to the Corn-laws and to Church Extension ; they are pledged to give more gold to the priests, and to continue to give gold to the landlords, and to take gold from other people. He is to govern on their system of unjust taxation, and must follow out their conclusions of crushing the faith and crushing the bodies of other men to get gold for the parsons and the landlords. It may be a year, or it may be ten, before such a system come to an end, but it is so plainly opposed to the " Divine idea of right"—the " precious good" which lies at the bottom of the great revolution now going on in society, that come to an end it must, and Sir ROBERT PEEL is un dertaking an impossible task. We pray, that from his ideas of the supreme power, his attempts to overcome this impossibility may not overflow the land with blood. Mr. O'CONNELL has addressed a stirring ap peal to the people of Ireland on the probability of the accession of the Tories to power, and the means to be adopted by his fellow-countrymen to avert such a calamity, which will be found in another part of The Sun. The Hon. and Learned Mem ber for Dublin, calls upon the Liberals of every shade of opinion, to unite against the Tories, and he promises, on his own part, that if such men as the Duke of LEINSTER and Lord CHARLEMONT come forward, and " take their natural and prominent station in front of the Irish people," no extreme opinion shall be enforced, nor shall the Repeal banner be once unfurled during the struggle. This is fair, and honourable, and patriotic. The time has: certainly arrived when it behoves all Re formeis to unite under a common standard against a common enemy. Though convinced ourselves that a Tory Administration, conducted on high has become i mposs ibl e, we are not Tory principles, the less anxious to witness the adoption of measures on t h e part of the people which shall have the effect of preventing those evils which are inseparable from a protracted struggle for political ascendancy. The hest cure is prevention ; and it is besides much easier to keep the Tories out of Downing -street than to oust them ►after they have had time to establish themselves in their old quarters. As for the MELBOURNE Cabinet, its dissolution was a suicidal act. Had it accepted Sir ROBERT PEEL'S offer of neutrality on the Jamaica Bill, and left both that question and the Canada Constitution open to the deliberative wisdom of Parliament, it might have remained in office till the exigencies of the State would have called for a still more Liberal Administration. But whatever were its faults, it well deserves all that gratitude and that support from the Irish nation which Mr. O ' CONNELL so eloquently' and so powerfully invokes in his address to his fellow countrymen. The Madrid Papers of the 30th ult., just re. ceived, contain no news to which it is possible to attach the shadow of political importance, much lass novelty. The National Guard of Madrid was dissatisfied (when was it otherwise?) with the con duct of the Cortes ; the Cortes were displeased (a common circumstance) with the inertness of the Ministry ; and the Cabinet was of course out of humour with both. The valiant General Qui- ROGA, after learning that the Carlist bands had quitted the vicinity of the capital laden with plunder, sallied forth at the head of troops equally brave with himself, and, by keep ing some twenty leagues in their rear, chased them for several days without the loss of a single man. On the 29th he re-entered the capital covered with dust and " glory !" his illustrious sword as innocent of bloodshed as when he set out on his perilous expedition 1 When General ESPARTERO has taken Ra males, General ALAIX promises, at the head of 20,000 men, to exterminate CABRERA and his villain hordes. From what we know of EsPAX TERO, this is not likely to happen before the Greek Kalends. Amidst the confusion and uncertainty that pre vail in the political horizon of England at the present moment, it is a relief to turn to the im proved aspect of affairs in our North American colonies. Perhaps at no former period was there such a strong feeling in both countries in favour of preserving amicable relations as that which prevails now in this country and the United States ; and rarely has there been exemplified such a gratifying proof of the blessed effects of mild and conciliating policy in settling national differences. Had the settlement of the Boundary question been left to hot-headed men like the Governor of Maine and Sir F. B. HEAD, it would have been settled only by war. By the mild but firm conduct of Sir J. HARVEY, the judicious advice of General SCOTT, who rendered such eminent services in the cause of peace during the late border warfare, and the mild ness with which the English Press responded to that of America respecting the collision between New Brunswick and Maine, all hostile feeling has died away. A mild answer, indeed, turned away wrath ; and the two nations seem disposed to settle the long-contested question on rational and equit able principles. For the sake of both countries we confidently hope the forthcoming Ministry , will not neglect or mar the work so well begun : but we have our fears. The Tories are more celebrated for attempting to carry national objects by the last, and the worst of all extremities, war, than by peace. ful negociations. The Ministerial crisis continues in France. The KING is reported in the journals of Tuesday to have made an offer of the Presidency of the Council to Marshal GERARD, with permission to select his colleagues entirely from the Left Centre, but the Marshal declined the offer on the plea of ill health. In the meantime the trade of France is rapidly de clining. In the commercial world things are pro ceeding from bad to worse with a velocity truly alarming. The manufacturers of Lyons, and the merchants of Bourdeaux, have declared themselves ruined ; and should M. MAUGUIN'S address not be carried, or fail to produce any effect upon the KING, a movement more danger ous than any yet attempted will take place among the bankrupt merchants and dis tressed manufacturers, and the workmen employed by them. If we trust the opinions of a « Recent Visitor to Paris," who has just published a clever pamphlet on the crisis in France, the difficulties of the KING'S position, and his inability to put an end to the present alarming state of things, must continue hourly to increase. According to this gentleman, the Crown is in a position so false that, whether the KING yield or resist, he has reason to apprehend the most serious calamities. He says : " The King is fully aware of the critical position in which he stands, and all his secret resources, his private fortune, and his public patronage, are employed to neutra lize the influence of public opinion in the Chambers. In so doing, he is not merely struggling for the predomi nance of his political maxims, he is fighting for the ex istence of his throne, and the permanence of his dynasty. The King fears that, once overborne by the opposition ar rayed against him in the Chamber of Deputies, no effectual restraint will be left on public . opinion, which will then rush in upon him with all the resistless - Ado-- fence of an overwhelming flood. Should the Gauche (the ultra-Liberal party) obtain the reins of power, he fears that his personal influence will be annihilated, that all the diplomatic relations he has so laboriously established, will be scattered to the winds, and that he will be left, unsupported from without, in the midst of a nation opposed, almost to a man, to the interests of his dynasty. Electoral reform, and the legislative alterations, likely to be adopted by the men of the Gauche, would, he fears, have the efft ct of di,arming power, and of transferring the Par liamentary franchise to the classes most inimical to his throne ; the consequence, he apprehends, would be, that instead of 100 or 150 Deputies notoriously desirous of de throning him, 300 at least would find their way into the Chamber. His present resistance, therefore, to a coalesced Opposition, is a question of political existence to him, rather than a struggle in favour of any distinct political maxim. For awhile he is known to have contemplated audicating in favour of his son, but this scheme he speedily renounced. He was made sensible that such a measure would in no way prevent the transfer of political power; that, on the contrary, such a step would only encourage faction by betraying the weakness of the Throne, and by substituting for the King, who enjoys a high reputation for personal ability, a young man whose talents and cha racter inspire no confidence. Thus the conviction has been forced upon the King, that he must either triumph in the struggle in which he is engaged, or be prepared for the downfall of his dynasty. " Another circumstance tends to augment the difficulty of the King's position. The Chamber of Deputies, though firmly bent on nullifying the Royal authority, is divided on the means for attaining that end. This circum stance produces two disastrous impressions on the King's mind. In the first place, even were he disposed to yield, it makes him uncertain on which party to lean for sup port. Secondly, the division among his opponents en courages him in a system of resistance, by which he hopes to fatigue all parties, and in the end to rally a ma jority of his own. This position, however, is preg nant with the most imminent danger. The Chamber, divided into various hostile factions, can constitute only a wavering, ephemeral, and contradictory majority, sometimes in favour of one principle, sometimes of ano ther. This makes it improbable that the present crisis should be brought to an early close, by the complete triumph either of the King's system, or that of the Opposition ; and the consequence will probably be, that France will continue for several months exposed to all the ill effects of a crisis that will every day penetrate more deeply into the recesses of the social system—will inflame fanaticism, and heighten the virulence of party ; while all commercial transactions will be suspended by the instability of public affairs; the commercial, aggravated in the same ratio as the political crisis, will every day become more general and more menacing, till at last some trifling occurrence, some ill-considered act on the part of the King, or on the part of the Chamber, some event, in short, unexpe c t e d and insignificant, will act as a spark to fire this combusti ble accumulation—and the explosion will ensue I" The KING has himself to thank for all the dan gers by which his dynasty is threatened. He pro voked the contest and must abide by the issue. His intrigues, instead of weakening the opposition, have only exposed the arts by which he would baffle the just expectations of the nation. The accounts from the French frontier are so contradictory that we can give no credit to any of them. Letters from Constantine, of the 23rd ult., men tion the arrival of the Bishop of ALGIERS, and seve ral Sisters of Charity in that city, from Stora, under a military escort of 700 men. The " sisters," who were to remain there, at once entered upon the Christian duty of visiting the sick without regard to creed, colour, or place of nativity. The Bishop left Constantine for Algiers on the 19th. Subjoined are extracts fi cirri the French Jour nals : Among the expenses included in the project of law for au extraordinary and supplementary vote of credit, which is asked for the year 1338, is a sum of 2,309,315 francs, for the departm(nt of the Marine, for the increase of the armaments on the coast of Mexico and Buenos Ayres. The Doputies, when they consider this demand, will have to examine whether the prolongation of our diffe rences with Mexico was called for by our digr.ity and na tional interest, and whether it was worth while to bear for a year the expense of a fleet to obtain in the end conditions less advantageous than those which the Mexican Govern ment had offered us at the outset.—Le Commerce. _ _ - Le Corsaire says—" Our Number of Sunday last has been seized to-day at our office.

The following moves will take place during the sum mer, viz.:-47th depot, from Jersey to Cork ; 67th depot, Gosport to Cork ; 73d depot, Cork to Chath-im ; 60th depot, 2d battalion, Portsmouth to Cork; 93d depot, Cork to Glasgow,- 74th depot, Glasgow to Cork : 71st depot, Cork to Glasgow ; 27th depot, Dover to Cork ; 94th depot. Cork to Liverpool ; 52d depot, Carlisle to Belfast : 95th depot, Belfast to Carlisle ; 30th depot, Car. lisle to Belfast ; 77th depot, Belfast to Carlisle ; 83d de pot, C:rlisle to Belfast ; 53d depot, Dublin to Devon port; 43d depot, Dover to Dublin; 75th depot, Dublin to Devonport. Per Mission has been granted to the East India Com pany to raise two European regiments, in consequence o f the reduced s t a te of her Majesty's army not admitting of two regiments being sent to India. The recruits for the East India Company will be taken at b feet 5 inches, and up to the age of 30 years. The regiments w ill not be em bodied in thi s countr y, b u t recruits will be sent out in de tachments, and formed, on arrival in India, into corps. This augmentation is in addition to the 600 men previously or dered to be enlisted.—Pavel and Military Gazette. The recruits to augment the 20th Infantry Regiments in India from 740 to 976 rank and file are coming in but slowly. It is, however, to be hoped that the very judicious change in the order regarding the age of recruits, which is now from 18 to 25, instead of from 20 to 25, may render the facility of enlisting greater than it has been. We believe that the recruiting department is ve r y a bl y conducted, and that the fa u l t d oes no t lie with the officers and non-com missioned officers, but in the low rate of bounty, the very rigid and rejective orders to the medical officers who exa mine the recruits, and to the vast length of foreign service, ' particularly in India, which deters men from entering the army.—lbid. The Queen's Bays, or 2d Dragoon Guards, left Hahne, for Glasgow, the last troop on Monday. They are suc ceeded by the 6th Dragoon Guards from Dorchester, all of which regiment has arrived, except two troops, one expected to-day, and the other on Wednesday. The Staff and the ether troops arrived on Wednesday. The Colonel of the regiment is the Hon. R. Taylor. We bear that the Ist or Royal Dragoons is expected here shortly, though probably not to be stationed in Man chester. Of this regiment Sir H. Vivian is the Colonel. In addition to the 20th Infantry, which has been in the Re gent's. road barracks since October, under Major Hutchin son, five companies of the 79th, which would arrive at Li verpool from Dublin yesterday, are coming by railway this morning from Liverpool, and for the present are to be bil letted in the town. The staff and the remaining five com panies are to remain at Liverpool for the present, as the head-quarters of the regiment. —Manchester Guardian of Saturday. 'APE HANIBURG, Area, 26.-We now learn that our Senate has made an offer to the States included in the German Commercial League, to reduce the tonnage duty on their ships, and excise on their brandy, which is not incon siderable, if they will accord to us the same advantages that the Dutch Government has obtained for its subjects in the commercial treaty lately concluded. The negocia tions are said to Le already far advanced. VIENNA, APRIL 27.—His Serene Highness Ernest, the Reigning Duke of Saxe Coburg, lately arrived here, and resides in the Palace of his brother the Field Marshal, Prince Frederick of Saxe Coburg. He means to make but a short stay here. A courier from London arrived here yesicrday, who performed the inirney in the very short time of six days, and a few hours. He brought the treaty, which is at length confirmed by the signature on the part of Belgium. It is confidently reported that his Majesty the Emperor has given his sanction to the lately proposed enlargement of the city of Vienna, on the side next to the Canal of the Danube. BRUSSELS, MAY 3. —General Buean Evain is gone to Paris on leave of absence for some weeks. Count Le Hon will not resume his functions at Paris till after the return of the King from Ardenne. The fourth battalion of the Bth Regiment of the Line left Brussels this morning. Letters have been received from Rome, which say that Bishop Von Bonmel is to be raised to the dignity of Cardinal.

HORRID MURDER AT HENLE Y ON THAMES.—About 7 o'clock yesterday morning, it was dis covered that the dwelling -house of Mrs . Phillips 8i y e ars of age, living near W o odcot Hou se, n ear Henley on Thames, had been broken open during th e n i ght, and its inmate murdered. The deceased lived by herself and was attended by the wife of a f armer ' s servant near , the spot, who left h er th e previous evening i n bed, b etween eight and nin e o ' c l oc k, a nd on going to get h er up this morn ing, discovered the house had been broken open and robbed. On entering the bedroom she found the bed clothes saturated with blood. and the unfortunat e woman ' s brains exu d ing f rom her skull, which h a d b een beaten almost t o a mumm y. She went immediat e l y to Adam Duff, Esq., of Woodcot House, a ma g i strate, who has been most indefatigable in his endeavours to discover the murderers. The arms of the old woma n b ore evident marks of h av i ng b e en severely pinched. A sawy..rs bar , with two files, a line, and a pair of compasses were left by the villains, but no instrument has yetbeeri f oun d b 5 which the act was perpetra ted. A gold ring was taken from her finger, and some money from a chest of drawers in the room in which she slept. In the drawers th us ransacked, on old f as hi one d b ox , with eight sovereig ns , an d a roll of calico, w i t h thi r ty-fi ve pounds in Bank of E ng l and notes, were overlooked by the parties. A coroner's in quest was to b 9 h e ld on t h e b o d y at twelve o ' clock this day. The tools found left on the premises were stolen from a sawyer in the neigbourhood, about a month ago, and th e part i es supposed to have stolen them, resided in the neighbour hood of Mrs. Phillip's cottage._Since the former part of this parai,.; - raph was written, we have be ar d some slight Clu e h as been obtained to the discovery of the perpetra tors of the diabolical act. THE LATE DIVISION TO THE _EDITOR OF THE SUN. I observe a letter in The Sun of yesterday from Sir J. E. E. Wilmot, in reference to a paragraph in the Morn ing Chronicle, which animadverted upon his pairing off with Sir E. Kerrison, on the division on the Jamaica Bill on the 6th instant. As he refers to me in corroboration of his statement, I consider it but an act of justice to publish the following note, which I received from him previous to the first night's debate an the question, when, as Sir E Kerrison was then in town, and has since left, it may be presumed he was well enough to attend the House : Athenaeum, ad May. " Dear Sir,—ln consequence of an important meeting in my parish on Saturday, which the Tithe Commissioners have appointed at my request for that day some time ago, I have paired off, on the Jamaica question, with Sir E, Kerrison in favour of Government. I mention this to you, to account for my absence to-morrow night, with a request that, should my absence be remarked by our friends, you will be so good as mention the circumstance.—Believ e the yours most faithfully, ." J. E. EARDLEY WILMOT. " To Jos. Sturge, Esq." Whilst a number of the advocates of freedom joined with those who have been uniformly opposed to its extension, in defeating a measure, the object of which was to protect our unrepresented black fellow-subjects from the oppres sions of a white oligarchy, it appears rather a hard mea sure to make such an attack upon one of the very few individuals who, though politically opposed to the Govern ment, had the independence to support Ministers in their humane but unsuccessful effort to secure to the negro population their rights, which the British nation purchased at so great a national sacrifice; and I trust that the can dour of the Editor of the Morning Chronicle, and others wbo may have copied the paragraph, will induce them to correct the erroneous impression which it was calculated to produce.—l am, respectfully, JOSEPH STURGE. Birmingham, sth Month, Bth, 1839. SHERIFF'S COURT.-(THIS DAY, DAVIS AND ANOTHER V. QUICKE, ESQ. This was au action brought to recover the sum of 781. for wines and spirits supplied to the defendant. It appeared that the defendant was a young gentleman of highly respectable connections, but had been obliged to go into the Queen's Bench. The debt had been incurred in less than ten weeks, and immediataly afterwards the de fendant went to prison, and the plaintiffs had obtained a vesting order under the new act. The plaintiff charged 16s. per bottle for champagne, and lOs. for cherry brandy. The Under-Sheriff left it to the Jury to say whether the charges were fair. The Jury found for the amount claimed. A County Court of the Sheriffs of Middlesex was holden this day, when the customary business was gone through. Only five persons were called on notice of out lawry, being about one-fourth the number generally called. All the old names of the Lords and " Honourables" are missing from the list.

The rain fell in torrents, and the lightning, which was terrifically grand, kept the streets in a continuous blaze of light for many minutes together. The heavy peals of thunder and violent gusts of wind ap peared to threaten general devastation. Some idea may be formed of the violence of the rain, by the fact that the water-pipes, not being large enough to admit its progress, it in many places filled the gutters and overran the parapets. The storm commenced about ten o'clock, and continued with unabated violence until nearly four o'clock this morning. Most people agree that so violent a storm has not occurred at this time of the year since the year 18°0, and previous to that in the year 1802. MAIDSTONE HOP INTELLIGENCE.—The last week's fine weather has produced a considerable im provement in the bine, and a large number of planters will commence tying this week, some having done so on Fri day and Saturday last.

TYRONE ELECTION.----Lord Claude Hamilton, Major Humphreys (agent of his Lordship's brother, Lord Alx.;reorn) , and Mr. Boyle, was put in nomination on Friday. On Saturday the polling was—Lord Claude, 218 . ; Major Humphreys, 81. Mr. Boyle did not persevere. METROPOLITAN POLITICAL SUMMARY. The Morning Chronicle , after st a ti ng t h at t h e " general beli e f i s th at Sir Robert Peel will not dis solve Parliament till after the new register is complete," says—" We greatly doubt whether the Tory leader shares the exultation which pervades the ranks of the party. The cause of the eagerness for place of some of his confederates is sufficiently obvious. But the rCB angustce donti do not blind him to the difficulties of the task on which he is about to enter. It is not in the House of Commons, as he well knows, and still less in the Lords, that these difficulties are to be expected. He is aware that his measures will be carried by the assistance of many of those who supported the Mel bourne Administration. But how long will the calm last ? The Tories talk very big ; but the people of these kingdoms will teach parties an important lesson ere long." Our Contemporary, in another leading article, sets forth the reasons which, in hic opinion, have brought the Melbourne Administration to an end. These all merge in their refusal to advocate Household Suffrage ; Triennial Parliaments, and Vote by Ballot, which small points of reform he thinks the present a favourable op portunity for obtaining. " The late Ministry," he re marks, " has been unable to survive the repudiation of this object ; the next, if in hostility thereto, cannot stand permanently." Our Contemporary may, perhaps, find that if the next Ministry cannot stand " perrna dently," which is a word of very convenient vagueness, it will stand long enough to do an incalculable deal of mischief, and that, too, by an uncompromising hostility to the very reforms which he is anxious to obtain. Op position to further organic changes will be the ruling principle—the bond of union—the soul of the Tory Ad ministration, and thanks to the extravagant conduct o the ultra-Reform party, there is now little doubt that such an Administration will find all the support it wants, even among the elective body. The Ministry of Lord Melbourne is no more. The ,reachery of the ultra-Radicals to the principles of Re form, and the want of common honesty in their conduct upon the anti-slavery question, have aided the Tory ambush, and the Liberal party is for the present out of power. Do these gentry think that thcy have served the Liberalism they profess by their preference of a Tory to a Reforming Government ? Do they suppose that the country will give them credit for principle in so acting, or even for common sense? We tell them no. With what duplicity soever they may attempt to palliate their actions, they are branded as factious opponents, for factious purposes, of the Melbourne Ad ministration, and upon the very question of all others which they were bound to support, they have opposed the measures of the Government. On Wednesday last, at a dinner given to one of these worthies, the misrepre sentative of Kilkenny, union was strongly insisted upon —the plate, raised by subscription of Reformers, was given, carried home, and on the very first occasion the man whose declamation on a former day that he was prepared to vote black white, iu support of Reform, abandoned it. Private interest does not well assort with public duty. We do not insinuate such a thing against Joseph Hume, but we state the bare fact. The parties who gave that dinner and presented that plate feel that they have been deluded--they feel that they have been deceived, and they are anxious to testify their sentiments. Arrangements are now in progress for calling a public meeting at the same place—the Crown and Anchor, where lately Hume was feasted —to declare the opinion of the people of Westminster, and to proclaim their determination to support a Reforming Government in opposition to Tory Machiavelis:n. The Radicals have accomplished what they have threatened—the removal of Lord Melbourne's Minis try from power. This consummation, which they have declared was so devoutly to be wished, is perfected ; and yet we perceive none of those manifestations of po pular rejoicing which attends the triumph of liberal principles, or the defeat of unpopular men. We ask those rash and inconsiderate men what advantage they have gained for the onward progress of Reform mea sures by their vote on the Jamaica question ? They have displaced a Whig Ministry to be replaced by a Tory Administration. They have gone the whole hog of folly. They have been mainly instrumental in placing in power men who have been all their lives opposed to everything liberal, who have been equally the enemies of civil and religious liberty, and who, by their opposition to the measures of Lord Melbourne's Adminis tration have prevented the Cabinet of which he was the chief of carrying out the principles which the Radicals consider beneficial to the country, and by a perverse ness unexampled have put the reins of power in the hands of the very men who were obstructives in the way of improvement. A Tory-Radical has been hitherto a mere appellative—a term of reproach—an ideal cha racter. These gentlemen have given the term a reality —they have personified the idea which was attached to the word. As they have sown so shall they reap. In a few months (should the Tories continue so long in power) they will have ample reason to repent their folly. What chance is there that any one of the measures which the Radicals advocate will be effected by the Ministerial agency these misguided persons have called into political authority ? They have shown, indeed, what their enemies often asserted, that they were effec tive for mischief. Can they prove to the country or to their constituents that they possess the means of repair ing the injury -which they have done ? We leave them for the present to settle this matter with their own con sciences—they have time for reflection. Repentance comes too late ; and when they regard the effect of their conduct, we ask them to test its utility by the em phatic interrogatory of the Roman pleader, " Cui boner—Morni ng Advertiser. The Morning Post, by way of corroborating, we suppose, the assertion of the Times about the progress of the new Ministerial arrangements, tells its readers that, " up to a late hour last night, nothing had been definitively concluded as to any offices in the new Mi nistry, except the highest," which, it states, will be filled by Sir R. Peel, as if that was not as much a matter of course, as that the Whig Administration should be fol lowed by a Tory one. "In the formation of his second Administration," observes the Post," there is no reason to apprehend that Sir Robert Peel will have any im portant obstructions to remove or any serious difficul ties to surmount ; nor is it probable, when formed, that it will encounter in Parliament an opposition so inve terate or so factious as that which assailed and over threw the former Ministry of this accomplished states man. The first question by which the disposition of the House of Commons to support the Queen's Go vernment will be put to the test will probably be that of the election of a successor to the chair vacated by the resignation of the present Speaker. It is understood that Mr. Goulburn will be proposed by the Conservative Minister; and the rejection of a gen tleman so well qualified by his great experience and knowledge of business, and by his intimate acquaintance with the forms and practice of the House, to perform the duties of the office, or resistance to his election by a very powerful minority, would naturally be understood to intimate the necessity of an immediate appeal to the people of England for adequate support to the Admi nistration of the Queen's choice." The Times of this morning informs us that " the necessary steps towards the formation of a new Minis try have been in regular, and by no means dilatory, progress" since the publication of its last number, a piece of information, the latter part of which we beg our readers to receive with a certain cautious degree of incredulity. Sir Robert Peel may be an expert Cabinet maker, but it is not a piece of hasty patch-work that will answer his purpose, and it will require all, and perhaps more than all, his skill to con struct, out of the materials at his disposal, a great part of which is rotten to the core, a machine adequate to the exigencies of his present position. After magnify ing the power and union of the Opposition with a more than usual disregard of truth, and misrepresenting the comparative numbers and objects of the Reformers, whom it divides into British Radicals with 150 votes, Whigs with 130 votes, and O'Connellites with between 60 and 70 votes. The Times concludes its leading article with the following appeal to the what-will-you get principle, which shows clearly enough the solidity of the foundation and the breadth of bottom, on which the new Administration is to stand : " The facts and considerations above enumerated will modify of necessity the future relations of the parts composing the actual House of Commons. The Mi nistry having burst from its own internal discords, all pledges to it as a Ministry are now terminated, all the parties engaged to it are henceforth free. The Whigs did not, as we said before, fall in battle ; they fell asun der from intrinsic weakness and decay. We put it, therefore, to any one or more clear-sighted Members of Parliament, what will they get by opposing the Ministry of Sir Robert Peel ? What alternative is there ? here are the materials for any other Government ? Whiggery, Radicalism, and depraved Popery, each ar rayed in its utmost strength, formed the elements of the Melbourne-O'Connell Ministry. What, we ask again, has come of it ? Scattered to the winds. Never was break-up of a forced and repugnant system of machi nery so consummate as this. The blow is irretrievable. As to the arrangements of the new Ministry, which are committed to Sir Robert Peel, nothing was known at midnight, except that the Right Hon. Baronet was busily engaged in forming them."— Times. The Morning Herald descants with its usual sense lessness and perversity on the personal qualities of some of the leading political men of the day. "No Prime Minister," says our Contemporary, ‘: d ur i ng the last forty years, has enjoyed. the opp or t un i ty o f se l ect i ng coadjutors from a wider circle of able and accomplished statesmen. It is a strange fact—yet a fact that few Whigs or Whig-Radicals may venture to deny—that nearly all the available talent in Parliament is Conser vative. In the House of Lords,it were vain to look along the Ministerial benches for political leaders, whom the rankest Whig vanity would venture to place in the same category with the Duke of Wellington, Lord Aberdeen , Lord Rip on , L or d Wharncliffe, Lord Ellenborougb, ,„-_,-._ -.,-, -....,„ AK -- ....; , ' -,i,iii --__ - AZ' , ~..,... F•? - EVENING ED and Lord Lyndhurst.

Why, had such a piece of information reached them from any other quarter, it would have absolutely turned their heads. Lord Aberdeen, too, a man who can never open his mouth but in a prepared speech, and then is the most prosing and tedious of twaddler*. Lord Wharncliffe, we believe, never made above two speeches in hi s lif e ; an d as f or t h e D u k e o f Wellington and Lord Lyndhurst, if the one brings weight of cha racter to the new Administration, he brings no ora tory ; and if the other brings oratory he brings no character, or, what is worse, a very bad one. The Herald having exhausted its eulogistic powers on the galaxy of talent which surrounds Sir Robert Peel, asks the rather interesting question—Whether, v ith all this talent, the Right Hon. Baronet will be ably to carry on the Government with the present House of Commons? And then proceeds, after the following fashion, to harp upon the same string as that touched by the ntzes " In considering this question, we must bear in min that every House of Coinmons contains a certain nem tar of trimmers ; and that the trimmers of the pret-e4i !louse will lose no time in ranging themselves on the side of Sir Robert Peel, as they hove, till now, done on the side of Lord John Russell. In the next place, many supporters of Lord John Russell's Govern ment have, of late, exhibited symptoms, that their tendencies are decidedly Conservative ; and but fur the not unnatural unwillingness to renounce the claim's of party, Sir Robert Peel's ranks, it can scarcely b e doubted, would, long ago, have been swelled by the accession of nearly all the Parliamentary representatives of the old Whig families throughout the country. The Whigs proper—the Contitutional Whigs —may now, almost to a man, be expected to join Sir Robert's banner ; nay, more wonderful things have come to pass than would . be presented to the world if Lord John Russell himself should head the detachment, and take his place in the rear of the new Minister. If, however, a factious spirit of op position to the Conservative Government should display itself in the House of Commons, Sir Robert Peel has, in his hands, the means of subduing some of the most refrac. tory amongst his opponents. A dissolution of Parliament would banish from the House of Commona, for ever, at least one-third of the Whigs and Whig-Radicals, who new swagger in that assembly. A dissolution of Parliament would, in all probability, secure to Sir Robert Peel an ad dition of at least ono hundred to the list of his present sup porters in the House of Commons. The fear of a dissolu tion will operate, undoubtedly, to the repression of factious opposition to the government of Sir Robert Peel. A new House of Commons mast, of course, be summoned, at no distant period, to grapple with the difficulties which Lord Melbourne's Government has created ; but the present re presentative body may easily (according to ordinary calcu lations) be managed during the remainder of the present session." We think it would not be easy to find a better speci men of self-stultification than that which is contained in the above extract. GOLD•DUST ROBBERY. On Tuesday, at Lambeth-street Office, after the other charges had been disposed of, Henry Solomons, Lewin Caspar, Ellis Caspar, Henry Moss, Amelia Moss, and Sa rah Levy, who bad been remanded on a charge of stealing two boxes of gold-dust of the value of four thousand six hundred and forty pounds, together with Emanuel Moses, or " Money Moses," as he is more familiarly called, land lord of the Black Lion public-house, in Vinegar -yard, near Drury-lane Theatre, and bis daughter, Mrs. Alice Abra hams, both of whom were taken into custody that morn ing, were placed at the bar for further examination. Previously to the examination being entered on, Lea, the officer, unlocked a small deal box which he had a short time before brought to the office in a hackney-coach, and took from it five large bars of gold, weighing within six ounces of 701b5., and of the value of over 3.6001., and which formed a part of the produce of the two boxes of gold-dust that had been stolen. This exhibition ex cited a considerable curiosity among all present, and on observing the treasure before him, Mr. Pnillips remarked to Mr. Hartley, the prosecutor, " Mr. Hartley, that's an old friend with a new face," which remark excited a good deal of laughter. Mr. Clarkson said, that it was with much satisfaction he had to inform the Bench, that since the last examination the prosecutor and the gentleman engaged in the present prosecution had received such information as enabled them to place the five bars of gold now produced, and which it would be most satisfactorily shown were part of the stolen treasure, before them. He (Mr. Clarkson) held in his hand written statements of considerable importance as connected with the proceedings ; but as the disclosure of their contents, at present, might materially impede the ends of justice, the course which he purposed pursuing was, to place these documents in the hands of the Magistrates for their private perusal. After the Magistrates had read them over, it would be then his (Mr. Clarkson's) duty to apply to them for warrants for the apprehension of those parties to whom he had before alluded. The following witnesses were called and examined : Mr. W. D. Haggett, the chief clerk in the Bullio u office of the Bank of England, stated that in March last he had received by post a letter from Falmouth, apprising him that three boxes of sold were coming by waggon, and that six others had arrived there, but with no direc tions as to how the latter were to . be brought to town. Four out of these six boxes has been subsequently delivered to kim, and the remaining two were to come through the agency of Messrs. Carno of Falmouth, and would in duo course arrive in town on the 23th of March. These he bad never received. Mr. J. Hawkey said—l am pay-clerk in the . Batik of England. On the 2d of April last a Bank-note for 3001. was presented me for change. [A 3001. note was here produced by Lea, and identified by the witness as the same.] It was presented by a person who represented nhainmiseell, Henry to be Solomons,named po S r o e l i o g rn n o x n i s o ,neyanFxedlang i 3 tbo e r_e otfie th e e 53, Strand," on it. H e ( w i tness) gave in change for it' twenty notes for 10/. and t wenty f or 5/. each, as th change. [The witness here read over the numbers and dates of each of these notes, and identified two Si. and thirteen 10/. notes, which were produced by Roe, the officer, as forming part of those he had specified.] These notes Roe had round on or received from the prisoner Moss. The next witness called was John Dame, who was exa mined by Mr. Clarkson. The witness, who was well dressed, and had the appearance of being a respectable young man, stated that in the early part of the present year he was in the service of the prisoner Solomons. Re collected Easter Tuesday, the 2d of April (the day after the robbery), and his being sent out on business to Messrs. Cook and Johnson's, in Hatton-garden, gold refiners, and on returning to his master's about two o'elock with some money, he found the prisoner Mrs. Abrahams there. She and his master were in the back workshop in the Strand, where there were then furnaces and crucibles for the purpose of it elting down gold and silver. He observed that there were two crucibles on the fire, and saw Mrs. A. give Mr. Solomons some lumps of gold which he put into the crucible and melted down in the ordinary way. Mrs. Abrahams left the workshop after the quantity of gold which she gave Mr. Solomons was melted, and went into the front shop and returned in about half an hour with more. This she did four or five times, bringiiig gold each time, which was also melted in like manner. She (Mrs. Abrahams) carried the gold in her bosom and a sort of pocket in front of her person ; and the last time she came she turned the pocket out, and shook the small rem nants of the gold on a piece of paper, and this was aim melted down by him (witness). The prisoner -took the result of each melting into the shop, where Mr. Solomons, his master, was, but what had passed be tween them he did not know. The last time she went into the shop she returned to where he (witness) was, and gave him half a sovereign. On the same evening witness melted about 70 ounces of silver with a part of the gold, none of which had been taken away by Mrs. Abrahams, but could not say what was the proportion of silver to the gold. Before the melting of this he melted a bar Which was mixed with silver gilt lace, which was seat by Mr. Solo mons, son., to Messrs. Cook and Johnson, and on the next morning melted six bars more with which be seized some pieces of Russian copper coin, which bad the effect of , changing their colour. This was on the Wednesday. Two of those bars so mixed with copper were sent by Mr. Solomons, one to Messrs. Bult and Son, Cheapside, on the same day, and another bar, which was alloyed wish silver, was, with the four alloyed with copper, put into an iron chest; but on the following day they were removed from there by witness, and placed in a boa belonging to himself in a top room in the house, where they remained until that (yesterday) morning, when he delivered them to Loa, the officer. The bars p oduced are the same. On the Friday after the Tuesday on which the bar of gold was sold to Messrs. Cook and Johnson, witness, by the directioi of Mr. Solomons, went to its purchasers to tell them that . unless they were going to refuse it he was to pay money they had given for it and take it away, b▪ ut was e that it could not be got back, as it was the banke r at the time under si the process of being refined. The witness furothses a t st t isatehd, that he had seen the prisoner Emanuel me master's shop about the Tuesday previous to his daughter taking the gold there. He was in the shop, he Solo mons was at the time, but he could not take ▪ t on say what passed between them, as be wasthe'w back h mto shop in o at f l t a h r e g t e i m notes,e . bHye direction t said io n t o h f a h t s h he h a a s t d e r e_ , h i a n n t g o e a d o v a e r number ere being aga s i e n v several wit l o t e b s e se in a g to aft b e the offi amin c e e d, h t o h u e rs mended.
