A statement of the charges intended to be made was delivered in by the same Proprietor at the last Quarterly General Court. That the same Proprietor has also given notice, that at the same Quarterly General Court he will move that, " Whereas on the 25th of September, 1819, a treaty of perpetual friendship and alliance was concluded between the Honourable East India Company and his Highness Maharajah Pertanb Shean, the Raja of Sattara; "And whereas, his Highness Pertanb Shean so conducted himself as an ally of the East India Company, that on the 29th December , 183.5, the following letter was unanimously agreed to by the Court o Directors : SALES BY AUCTION.

" Your Highness,— " We have been highly gratified by the information, from time to time transmitted to us by our Government, on the sub ject of your Highness's exemplary fulfilment of the duties of that elevat , d situation in which it has pleased Providence to place you. " A course of conduct so suitable to your Highness's exalted sta tion, and so well calculated to promote the prosperity of your do minions, and the happiness of your people, as that which you have wisely and uniformly pursued, while it reflects the highest honour ox your character, has imparted to our minds the feelings of unqualified satisfaction and pleasure. The liberality, also, which you have die-- played in executing at your own cost various public works of great utility, and which has so justly raised your reputation in the eyes of the princes and people of India, givos you an additional claim to our approSation, respect, and applause. " ' Impressed with these sentiments, the Court of Directors of the East India Company have unanimously resolved to transmit to you a sword, which will be presented to you through the Government of India, and which, we trust, you will receive with satisfaction, as a token of their high esteem and regard. "'With sincere wishes for your health and prosperity, we subscribe ourselves, In the name of the Court, " Your Highness's most faithful friends, " W. S. CLARKE, Chairman. "J. R. CARNAC, Deputy.' _ .

"And whereas, in 1836, certain enemies of his Highness the Raja of Sattara did conspire to effect the ruin and dethronement of that Prince, by preferring false charges against him to the Bombay Government; " And whereas, when these charges, and the evidence in support of them, had been forwarded to the Court of Directors, and had been considered by them, it was the decided opinion of that body that it was not only a waste of time, but seriously detrimental to the cha racter of the Government, to carry on any further inquiry into the matter; " And whereas this opinion was communicated to the Government of Bombay and the Government of India, in dispatches from the Court of Directors, dated respectively the 13th June, 1838, and the 20th January, 1839 ; " And whereas Sir James Rivett Carnac, on his appointment to the office of Governor of Bombay, received no instructions from the Court of Directors to dethrone, or otherwise to punish, the Raja of Sattara, but, on the contrary, was empowered to suppress all fur ther inquiry into the charges that had been made against the Raja, and to consign the matter to entire oblivion ; " And whereas Sir James Carnac did, in a minute, recorded by him on the 19th June, 1839, propose that the Resident of Sattara should be instructed to assure his Highness of the desire of the Bri tish Government to maintain the relatious of amity with hint ; and did further declare, That the British Government had nothing to fear from the Raja, and could afford to act with generosity; "And whereas Sir James Rivett Carnac did, at a personal inter view with the Raja, on the 23d August, 1839, inform his Highness that three important violations of the Treaty had been proved against him— " Ist. Of the sth Article, in having, during a series of years, held improper communications with the Goa authorities ; " 2d. Of the same Article, in having held a clandestine intercourse with Appa Sahib, the ex-Raja of Nagpoor ; " 3d. Of having tampered with the native officers of the 23d Regi ment Native Infantry; " And whereas Sir James Rivett Carnac, did, at a subsequent in terview, on the 27th August, peremptorily require the Raja to sign certain articles, to which the following preamble was affixed, viz.:— " Information having been received by the British Government that your Highness, misled by evil advisers, had, in breach of the Treaty which placed you on the throne, entered into communications hostile to the British Government, an inquiry into these accusations was considered indispensable. This inquiry has satisfied the British Government that your Highness has exposed yourself to the sacrifice of its alliance and protection. Nevertheless, moved by considerations of clemency towards your Highness and your family, the British Go vernment has resolved entirely to overlook what has passed on the following conditions, namely, &c. &c.; " And whereas the Baja of Sattara did, at these interviews, de dare his entire and absolute innocence, and earnestly implore per mission to be heard in reply to the charges which his enemies had brought against him, and in refutation of the evidence in support of them ; and did al- o express his willingness to submit to any con ditions which did not require him to abandon his religion, or to ac knowledge, in violation of his conscience, that he had been the enemy of the British Government ; " And whereas, for the sole reason of having refused to sign the articles and preamide submitted to him, he was, on the sth of Sep tember, 1839, and by the authority of Sir James Carnac, forcibly taken a prisoner and dethroned, and a proclamation issued by the Resident, declaring his brother, Appa Sahib (his bitter enemy), the Rajah of Sattara ; And whereas, by the 3d Geo. 111., chap. 52, sec. 43, it is enacted that ' It shall not be lawful for the (I.)vernment of Bombay, &c., to make or issue any order for commencing hostilities, or levying war, or to negotiate or conclude any treaty with any Indian prince or state (except in cases of sudden emergency or imminent danger, when it shall appear dangerous to postpone such hostilities or treaty), unless in pursuance of express orders from the Governor- General in Council, or from the Secret Committee, by the au thority of the Board of Control ;' " And whereas it is further enacted, in section 42 of the same Act, that' It shall not be lawful for the Governor-General in Council, without the express command and authority of the Court of Di rectors, or of the Secret Committee, by the authority of the Board of Control, in any case (except where hostilities have actually been commenced, or preparations actually made for the commencement of hostilities, against the British nation in India), either to declare war or commence hostilities, or enter into any treaty for making war, &c.;' Resolved—That the dethronement of his Highness Pertaub Shear, the ex-Raja of Sattara, under the circumstances now set forth, was a violation of the above statute, and was, therefore, an illegal act."

PRICE SD. ! try seems a matter of considerable dubitation with the political public. A dissolution of Parliament was the I first thing that suggested itself to people's minds, as the present House of Commons could hardly be expected to furnish the Whigs with a working majority; but against this measure it is urged that the most serious incon veniences to the public interest must necessarily follow on a dissolution. The locking up, for so many weeks, of the capital deposited by projected railway companies is mentioned as one point deserving of careful considera tion; and another is, that many railway Bills, that were not finished last session, must be brought forward de novo in the new Parliament, instead of being taken up at the stage in which they were left at the period of proro gation in August. This, it is argued, would not only be a cruel infliction of expense upon the companies so situ ated, but a positive breach of faith with them on the part of the Government and the House of COMMODE!. Then there is the state of our relations with America. Ima gine Parliament dissolved when a hostile mesnige from " his Excellency" Mr. Polk should arrive. Whence are to come the sinews of war? In short, there is embarrassment on all hands. Let the new Minister continue the present Parliament, and in all human probability he finds himself iu a minority; let him dissolve it, and there is an equal probability that he will be unable to " carry on the Queen's Government." But, as his friend Sidney Smith said, " Lord John Russell will undertake anything—the command of the Channel fleet, the building of St. Paul's, or the operation for the stone." It is not to be wondered at, therefore, that he feels no hesitation in facing the perils of his present position. It is so much the way of the world to forget old friends, especially when they chance to have no good things to give away, that people talk very little about the members of the late Cabinet. This may, perhaps, be owing in some sort to the habit of Sir Robert Peel, who spoke often of himself and seldom of his colleagues; but still he had colleagues, and men of "note and mark" in THE MINISTERIAL CRISIS. many instances. Of these, we believe we may safely FROM TILE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. say that the Duke of Wellington strenuously and CHRONICLE.—We cannot satisfy the just imps- successfully opposed to the last the repeal of the corn tience of our readers by any positive intelligence re- l aws .

Some friends of the late Cabinet quiesce in the rejection of their just demands, all hope of are still sanguine of its speedy restoration to office—of relief would have to be abandoned, and our interests course without Sir Robert Peel at its head. What is to would be sacrificed to an oppressive oligarchy. We become of him does not clearly appear. A correspond must carry the repeal of the corn-laws now or never. ent, indeed, last night informed us that Sir Robert Peel That it will be carried, in spite of all hostile influences, will be immediately created a peer by the titles of Baron we have not a moment's doubt.

If we mean to a total repeal of the corn-laws all his colleagues ex to retain a House of Lords as part of our Constitution, cept three or four, with whose co-operation, if report we must avoid permitting its members to place themselves speaks true, he might very well have dispensed. He had in an attitude of resistance to the public will and the just won the reluctant assent of the Duke of Welling public good, in the cause of the most sordid self-iii- ten, and his promise to propose the measure in the terest. Now of this evil we run the greatest risk. If Lords. It had also been settled to summon Parliament the ground which the Duke of Wellington has taken early in January for this purpose. Our readers then be that of opposing the repeal of the corn-laws, we may possessed an exact and literal transcript of the Minis anticipate the most obstinate struggle on the part of un- terial state and intentions. We had not even omitted wise Peers, _battling for their personal interests under to notice the " insignificant and doubtful" exceptions the sanction of his great name, and the guidance of his to the general unanimity.

The members of the late Government are Lords by raising them against the measure, or lift his as much interested in the success of such a measure as own voice against it. Though he will not propose it on those, whoevei they may be, who shall take office for the Sir Robert Peel's initiation, he will, we have reason to purpose of carrying it. They have not got rid of their heavy believe, offer no obstinate resistance to it on Lord John responsibility with their places. They cannot have pro- Russell's.

It was as much as the fastidious Whig could do to admit the brilliant essaist and reviewer. The notnts homo of more practical greatness will undoubtedly put his po pular sympathies to a more practical test. If the Whigs condescend to use the opening which the people hare given them. they must also condescend to follow its leading. In a peculiar sense they are now the repre sentatives of the popular will. It is their boast to carry out the Reform Bill. That Bill gave a political exist ence to the manufacturing masses. It gave to the busy and populous north its just proportion in the State. The reform of the Parliament involves a reform of the Cabinet. The one is a fuaction of the other, and there will be an endless collision till the man of the people is admitted to the secret councils of the Sovereign as well as to the public deliberations of the Legislature. ADVERTISER.—A crisis has arrived ! the Minis terial plot works : as Talleyrand said, we have now before us le commencement de la fin. What the termina tion will be, time alone will unfold ; but at present the "great fact" of the resignation of Sir Robert Peel's Ca binet is now beyond doubt. In our impression of the 4th instant, we distinctly announced that, owing to the difficulties with which Sir Robert Peel found himself surrounded, he had threatened to resign. The opposi tion he has encountered from the Duke of Wellington and the high Tory members in the Cabinet, to his meditated blow against the corn•laws, and the utter impossibility which existed of his being able to face the Parliament and to do nothing, have rendered the neces cessity of his resignation overwhelming; and be and his colleagues at present only hold the seals of office till such time as their successors shall be appointed. We have the satisfaction to state, that imme diately upon the resignation of the late Ministers, her Majesty sent for Lord John Russell, who, after having had an interview of an hour's duration with Sir Robert Peel yesterday. at Whitehall, imme diately repaired to Osborne House. His Lordship had an audience of her Majesty, and returned to town last evening with full authority to form an Administration. The leading mF mbers of the former Whig Cabinet have already communicated with his Lordship, who is actively engaged in the formation of his Cabinet. It is probable that an address from his Lordship to his constituents of the City of London, with a declaration of the principles which are to guide his policy on the corn-laws, will ap pear forthwith. The excivrnent and speculation which these important events created throughout the whole of the metropolis yesterday, may be easily conjectured. The rumour of a speedy, if not an immediate dissolu tion of Parliament, was very prevalent at all the West end club-houses,-and the conference which took place between Lord John Russ.-1l and Sir Robert Peel revived, with more than its original force, the report vi hich we gave a week ago, that a coalition Ministry, with the two Whig and Tory chiefs at the head, would be formed. Indeed, it is currently reported is the City that it is the inten tion of the Liberal party, in case of a dissolution of Parliament, to solicit Sir R. Peel to stand as a candidate for the City of London, by the side of the Noble Lord, the present Member for the City, upon the broad prin ciples of free-trade and repeal of the corn-laws. In this general dislocation of party s, it is almost impossible to predict the future course of events. It is, however, more than probable that the Tories, now that the disruption of their Cabinet has taken place, will rally round some of their leaders, and make the most strenuous defence of the protection laws. The history of the world furnishes no example of a greedy, selfish body of monopolists quietly relinquishing the advantages which they have gradually and silently usurped. But the blow is struck: the corn-laws and the protection-laws are doomed and must inevitably be placed upon a free and equal footing bearing impartially upon all classes of the community alike. It is impossible to overrate the importance of the present crisis. Upon the firmness of the people rests the future happiness and prosperity of unborn millions. It will depend upon the number of personal adherents of Sir Robert Peel who may follow his ex ample in the House of Commons, and join the ranks of the Whigs, whether Lord John Russell will be able at m hey ßil a i t . length to assume such an attitude in the Lower House as shall compel way,the Resfer The cry of " Corn," not " Curry," at an election, will the ln e t a House n t ly d i o d f i Lords o r t d h s e t e o a givee of shake the power and influence of these legislatorial r e Peers to the very foundation. No more will the alarm spread abroad that the Constitution is in danger avail them. Their efforts to curry favour with their detestable "curry," and their wretched expedients to avert the blow which is now falling upon their house, will be as abortive as they are contemptible. A long vista of happier days for the English labourer is opened to our view. All that remains to be done by the people is to persevere in their present course, and one of the greatest monopolies which ever afflicted a country will be extin guished for ever.

SINIPSON has the honour to an nounce that he has surveyed, by order of the Noble Pro.. prietor, and intends to offer for SALE by AUCTION, in the ensuing spring, at the Royal Hotel, in Belfast, The GALGORM or GLENAHERTY, the Braid, and Kells ESTATES, in the county of Antrim. A large portion of these estates is rich and very productive land, lying in the valleys of the river Main and the Braid and Kells Waters. The Galgorm Estate includes the fine mansion of Galgorm Castle, on which a considerable sum has been recently expended in valuable im provements. Attached to the castle is a demesne of about 150 acres of superior land in hand. On the property, which embraces a great volume of water power, there are many ex tensive bleach greens, beetling and corn mills, in the occupa tion of wealthy and respectable manufacturers, and several of the tenantry are engaged in or connected with the various branches of the linen trade; the majority are Protestants, and in the highlY.favourfti Prgermeor-Ulistec are remarkable lot their In -;42l,7aftatsigtelligence. e'e;ttensive - iiica iliettittnialtr easily reclaimed mountain lands abundantly stocked with game. The property is is the immediate neighbourhood of Ballymena, and approaches within a quarter of a mile of this the largest inland town in the county, and is only '2O miles distant from Belfast; the entire of the estate, include a surface of about 50,000 acres. The Belfast and Ballymena Railway, the works of which are contracted for, passes through the property, as well as also two other railways in contemplation. Particulars are in preparation, and may, in due time be obtained of Messrs. Reeves and Sons, solicitors, Mer rion.square, Dublin; at the place of sale; and of Mr. W. W. Simpson, 16, Bucklersbury. Mr. Simpson, while drawing the attention of capitalists to the above valuable estates, wishes to state that a second edition of his pamphlet has been published, on which the " Times " newspaper made the following review : " Mr. W. W. Simpson, the well-known and deservedly re spected auctioneer and land valuator, has recently published a pamphlet entitled ' A Defence of the Landlords of Ireland, with Remarks on the Relation between Landlord and Tenant.'" The " Dublin Evening Packet," in reviewing this work, gives the following character of its author:—" Mr. Simpson, we scarcely need remind our readers, is an Englishman of vast experience in mat ters re'ating to the improvement and value of land in his own coun try. He is, moreover, a gentleman of most comprehensive views, and possesses an understanding naturally strong, and a stock of practical knowledge and sterling sense which falls to the lot of very e s t a p l e c r o so n n d s itio in n h of is lre w la n nd ohre any m o t a n d e e r t rank b o u t . i l n i a W I i o t s h t t s h matter of necessity, to make himself thoroughly acquainted. He feels for her wants, and has contributed a s much perhaps as any man in his time to improve her resources, by encouraging the in vestment of British capital in every department of Irish industry. Such a witness as this we therefore hold to be beyond the reach of suspicion on the score either of interest or partiality. His tes timony must be regarded as invaluable, as it is unquestionably un impeachable." LOW ESTOFT, SUFFOLK. BREWERY, INNS, PUBLIC AND BEER HOUSES. R. W. W. SIMPSON has received directions to SELL by AUCTION, at the Mart, London, In the month of Jo:wary. (unless an acceptable offer be previously made by Private Contract), The FREEHOLD BREWERY, with Spirit Trade attached, situate in the High street, Lowestoft, and carried on successfully for many years by Messrs. G. and W. Everitt, but in consequence of the death of Mr. George Everitt the property will be sold, and offers an eligible opportunity for investment, as skilfulness and industry only would be required in the management to realise an extension of the free and private trade, which is at present considerable. The home premises comprise an excellent residence, brewheuse, with tun rooms and stores, yard and stabling. The fixed plant, which will be included in the purchase, consists of a 15 quarter tun, two brewing coppers, one of 38 and the other of 19 barrels, and all other requisite plant in proportion. Also 14 inns, public and beer-houses, which are all freehold, with the exception of one copyhold ; six of the houses are in Lowestoft, and those in the country are generally at convenient distances from the brewery ; a malthouse with 15- quarter steep, two working floors, &c , maltster's cottage and yard.

Across the lane leading to the river is a spacious store room, large yard approached from Albert street by folding gates, an excellent malthouse with 16-quarter steep, two working floors, kiln, and screening room, with barley chambers •f ample dimensions, waggon and dray shed, coal-house, &c. ; also a well-house, in which is a well affbrding an abundant supply of excellent water to the brewery and malthouse. These buildings are brick-built and slated, and in a very perfect state of repair; they ' ,mess a commanding frontage of nearly 260 feet to the river Welland, which communicates with Stamford, and is navigable to the sea, thus the property must always be exceedingly valuable from their great extent and the facilities afforded by the cheap transit of water carriage, and the brewery buildings and yard at a very moderate outlay might be rendered available for any other mercantile business; together with twenty-five inns, public and beer houses, &c., situate in Spalding, Pinchbeck, Gosberton, Donington, Thurlby, Weston, Moulton, Whaplode, Holbeach, Fleet, Gedney, and Crowland.

EXTENSIVE SEIZURE OF ILLICIT SPIRITS OF NITRE. TO THE EDITOR OT THE MORNING HERALD.

This, sir, is perfectly correct, and no difficulty could be experienced, for each of the carboys of spirits at the carriers in London were directed to my client in Birmingham, and were sent to him at his warehouse at Birmingham , without the least attempt at concealment, and which directions were found on the carboys in his possession, so that no fraud could have been anticipated or thought of by Mr. Harris in the transaction ; and so fully were the officers of Ex cise aware of the bona fide nature of the transaction on his part, that upon being shown the invoices and other documents sent by Bailey and Company to him, they did not remove the goods from the ware house, where they have remained until a few days ago. With espect to the price paid for the article in ques tion, that at which my client purchased was the then market price, deducting about 2i per cent. for immediate payment. And further with respect to the quantity, except one carboy sent as a sample, only nine carboys were ordered by him, being the quantity seized—a small quantity compared to that which he is in the habit of buying in the ordinary course of his business. As the goods had only arrived in the possession ofMr. Harris two days prior to the visitation of the officers of Excise, and they had not then been paid for, he had no motive for disputing the seizure, as no pecuniary loss could accrue to him in consequence, and he is advised to leave this question to be settled between Messrs. Bailey Brothers and the Excise.—l am, Sir, your obedient ser vant, SAMUEL DANKS, Dec. 9, 1845. 3, Waterloo-street, Birmingham GLASGOW PIG IRON TRADE.—TO-day and yes terday no iron has been offering under 60s. per ton ; but at this price no transactions have taken place. From the num ber of sellers to-day, at the above figure, we consider the rise from 725. Gd. to 80s. as temporary, and caused by oue or two buyers appearing in the market on the intimation of the Times on corn-law repeal. In the face of a stock at pre sent considerably over two hundred thousand tons, and makers now in a position for making fresh contracts, we cannot see how prices can advance, but will decline. It is to be expected that tightness of money will increase for a month at least; in which case, consumers' wants will alone require to be supplied, which is a trifle compared with the present daily production, which is ten thousand per week.— Glasgow National INCENDIARY FIRE REWARDS.
