The Report of the Committee upon the New Street Bill was brought up yesterday. It stated that the Committee had communicated with the Middlesex Magistrates on the subject of the im provements contemplated, and that the Magistrates had expressed a willingness to take the subject into consideration. The cost of the improvements was estimated at 110,0001., of which 69,0001. would he gained by leases, rents, &c., leaving 49,0001. to be provided for. The Report concluded with expressing a hope that the county of Middlesex, and the pa rishes through which the line might pass, would do all they could to diminish the expenses to the city of London. Mr. BLEADEN moved that the Report should lie on the table. Mr. Deputy WESTWOOD moved that the Court should agree with the Report. A MEMBER asked whether the nuisance of Hol born-hill would be removed by the improvement ? Mr. RICHARD TAYLOR said, that one of the con templated improvements was the removal of that nuisance. —(Hear, hear.) By law, the city invested its money in freehold property, and money could not be invested better than in the nem line of Black friars-bridge. Mr. ASIIHRST was opposed to the passing of any Act of Parliament until the line of road should be determined upon. The Committee showed by their Report, that they had not much reliance upon the c .unty of Middlesex as to a share of the expenses. It was also to be recollected, that the first parish through which the line of road must break was very poor, and it would be cruel to turn them out of their habitations without compensation.—(Hear.) Mr. PEWTRESS approved very much of the prin ciple, but said that the Court was not prepared to ewer into the details. It was a delicate matter to inter fere with property without making provision for the security of the tenants. Lord Prudhoe let his property with two years' notice to quit, and the houses were as secure to the inhabitants as if leases were granted. He was for giving to all parties the privilege pf laying their claims before a Jury, for he knew of many cases in which, although what was called remuneration was granted, the parties remu nerated sunk under the hardship.—(Hear, hear.) The poor ought not to he sacrificed, and the plans ought to be stated beforehand, as any change of plan would render property insecure in the line of road. Mr. BIEADEN said he did r►ot expect that the conference with the Middlesex Magistrates would be productive of any thing. Mr. DRINKALD said that no great reliance could be placed upon estimates in an extensive case of public improvement. The amount of the Post office improvement had been estimated at 101,000/., but it reached 400,000/. Mr. CHARLES PEARSON objected to the proceed ing altogether, and would never, while he had a seat in that Court, give his countenance to the prac tice which had often prevailed of getting an Act of Parliament for public improvements first, and sitting down to count the cost afterwards.—(Cheers.) Competition and free trade were the prevailing principles by which all the business of life was con ducted, except public business and public improve ments, and the principle must be extended to them also.—(Cheers.) From the end of Farringdon street to the northern outlet of the metropolis there were three distinct lines of road,which it was said by competent surveyors, might, with but small prefe rence for either, be adopted, and the value of the pro perty upon each was about the same. If an opening were necessary in that part of the city, arid he believed it was, it ought not to be made in favour of this or that particular line of road, but should be left to public competition. The complaints of the bad ness of trade were universal; but no sooner was an Act of Parliament passed for pulling down houses, than people found that their trade had been particularly flourishing, and large compensation was demdnded.—(Laughter.) By the plan he proposed, every man living in either of the lines of road pointed out would be stimulated by asking a rea sonable price to obtain a customer for his house and trade. Competition would be exerted, job bing would be prevented, and discontent avoided. He moved that plans of various lines of road should be submitted by the Committee to the Court, with a view of trying the experiment of public compe `Won. Mr. Pearson's motion was then agreed to.— Adjourned. THE SUICIDE AT HAMMERSMITH. An inquest was held yesterday morning at the Cross Keys, Hammersmith, before Mr. STIRLING, touching the death, on Wednesday last, of Mr. Thomas Fowler. The deceased resided at No. 3, St. Peter's-place, Hammersmith, in the house of Mrs. Winfield, the widow of a victualler in the Strand, who died about eleven months since. The deceased had been for many yews principal cellarman to the Wirifields, and on Mrs. - Winfield's retirement from business had accompanied her, and, as ►was reported, was lately married to her. That lady died on Mon day last, from an attack of apoplexy, and Mr. Fowler had since appeared almost distracted at her death; and though by no means addicted to drink ing, had called in at the Cross Keys on Monday and Tuesday twenty or thirty times, taking at each visit a glass of wine or spirits. To the land lord, Mr. Bray, he had expressed the utmost degree of affliction at the loss he had sustained, and re peat edly said that he could not long endure it, and alluded to the pistol he had at home, as a friend who would serve him to the last. On the Wednesday occurred the melancholy event which gave rise to the present inquest. Mr. Betts deposed to the death of Mrs. Winfield on Monday last, by apoplexy. She was a thin spare woman, but he should think had formerly been quite stout. Apoplexy, he understood, to be in her family. Mr. Perfect, surgeon, on Wednesday morning last was sent fur to 3, St. Peter's-place. On entering Mr. Fowler's room, he found him lying on his back on the bed quite dead. There was a very large horse pistol, recently discharged, in one corner, arid on the table he found a paper, the ink on which was not yet dry, to the following effect (The hand-writing was tolerably firm and legible):— „ Will some kind friend peruse my last will? I cannot bear the shuck any longer. I have lost my dear Char lotte. Charlotte, I am coining. Give my watch and seals to James 'Winfield (one of Mrs. W,'s sons) ; my watch-chain to Charlotte Winfield ; my watch to Eliza beth Winfield ; my ',coaches and ring to Sarah Winfield ; my dressing-case to William Winfield ; the rest of my things to my son in 'l'etbury, Gloucestershire. " The last will of Joseph Fowler. " Pray for my soul. God bless you all—Amen." The son here mentioned is one by his wife, from MR. HUME AT STAINES. Yesterday Mr. Hume paid a visit to Staines on his progress through the county. A little opposi tion was anticipated here, which was realized by the appearance of a party, which, though miserably deficient in point of numbers, was numerous and determined enough to create considerable confusion. A dinner was got up on the occasion, which took place at two in the afternoon, at the Bush Inn, Staines; - Seymour, Esq. took the Chair, and Mr. Hume, who was very warmly received on his entrance, sat on his right hand. About 150 gm men sat down to dinner. The CHAIRMAN proposed " The health of Mr. Hume, and may he be returned as representa tive for this county." The toast was drunk with the greatest enthusiasm. After which Sir JOHN GIBBONS and Mr. HUME rose together, but the latter giving way, the former gentleman said, that he and some gentlemen around him had not drunk the last toast. He had no objection to drink the health of Mr. Hume, as a private indivi dual, but as to drinking success to his next election, he would protest against it, if he stood alone. — (Loud hisses and great confusion.) He believed there was a large number of electors then in the room, who were not friends to Mr. Flume's return—(Confusion)—and he would do everything in his po►rer to prevent Mr. Hume's re-election.— (Hisses and renewed disturbance.) He and many of his friends turned down their glasses.—(Hisses.) Mr. HUME then rose, amidst great cheers, and went over at great length all those various particu lars, which, though novel to the meeting, are not so to those of our readers who have read the reports of the previous meetings which have appeared in our columns. As to pensions and sinecures, unless for meritorious services, he ever had, and ever would, raise his voice against them. There were mothers of Dukes, sisters of Dukes, daughters of Dukes, receiving public alms, for no earthly reason but that their own extravagance or family profligacy had reduced them to the want of it, and they at the same time having near relations in the enjoyment of annual thousands. Let a poor man apply for pa rochial relief to a Magistrate, and what was one of the questions he would ask him ? He would ask whether he had no relations who were competent to maintain him ? and if he answered that his fa ttier, his brothers, and all his relations were wealthy, would he not call upon them to afford the poor man a maintenance ? Why, then, should so odious a distinction be made between the paupers of the poor and the paupers of the rich ? Mr. Hume then touched on the Currency queltion, and the necessity of Reform in the Church Establish , ment. In addition to abolishing all pluralities, he would turn the Bishops out of the House of Lords— ' (Immense cheering),—and confine them to their re ligious duties. He would do away with all clerical Magistrates.—(Tremendous applause.) Sir JOHN GIBBONS moved the adjournment of the meeting. The question, on being put, was most indignantly negatived, only four or five holding up their hands for it. _ _ _ Mr. GIBBONS (as we were informed Sir John's son) addressed the meeting, but so much tumult prevailed throughout the latter part of the meeting, that we can give only a very imperfect sketch. He thought he was not a fit man to be their representa tive for several reasons-Ist, his vote on the Rus sian-Dutch Loan—(A laugh, and hear.) His speech on the cholera question was another reason.— (Shouts of laughter and hisses.) The last charge was, that Mr. Hume, at the dinner of the National Political Union, refused to drink the King's health. Mr. HumE replied that this was a specimen of the misrepresentation of the Journals that opposed him. He was glad the Hon. Gentleman had given him the opportunity of giving the lie direct to his statement.—(Here some confusion took place, Mr. Gibbons leaping across the table, and offering an exchange of cards, or some similar proposition). The Hon. Member reprobated the haste of the young gentleman. He did not say that he would give him the lie direct, but that he should be enabled to give the lie direct to his last calumny. Mr. llume then entered into a statement of the proceedings at the dinner of the National Political Union, and stated his refusal to preside at that dinner without the health of the King was drunk—that he actually pro posed the health, and that it was drunk by a large number of the persons present. The cause of the the m i . fa l m v o o u o s D Frankfort th e n put E a d q i c u t e s s . feeling which then existed against the King was the recent. discovery of the fact of the King's signature to to whethe r he was not a membetrioonfatp olitical o U um ni e On a ? s Mr. Huai: said he was a m ember nine.— (GreatH cheering, and cheers for ‘ the tnio o ns defended the Political Unions at some length , . and thought they had been the salvation of the country. —(Bravo ! Hume, Hume, for ever !") Mr. Cox moved, and Mr. SMITII seconded, a Re solution of thanks to Mr. Hume for his past con duct, and pledging the meeting to exert themselves to return him free of expense. The resolution was carried almost unanimously, only eleven hands being held up against it. QUID PRO Quo.—A very orthodox Divine, near the sea-coast, took upon himself to enter every house in his vicinity, and examine them from the cellar to the garret, to ascertain if all was sweet and clean. Amongst others, he ventured into one belonging to a smuggler, during his absence. The wife was afraid to refuse ad mittance, and as, fortunately, there were no run goods at the time in the house, he was permitted to poke his nose into every corner. " Really, pretty well, my good woman," said the clerical gentleman, atter a most deliberate exami nation ; " a little paint here, a little whitewash in the garrets, and the yard better swept, and, on the whole, it does you much credit." So saying, he departed. The smuggler returned, and was duly informed of this inquisi torial visit. " This will never do," observed he ; "if he come again he may spy more than I wish, so I'll put a atop to it." The next morning the smuggler c tiled at the parsonage; the door was opened by a maid servant, he brushed by her, and ascending the staircase, walked into the bed-room of the clergyman's lady. The maid, horror struck and alarmed at such sacrilege, ran in haste to her master, informing him of what had occurred, and express ing her opinion that the man had come to rob the house. The Reverend Gentleman, who was rather c holeric, hastened up stairs in great wrath, when he discovered the smuggler surveying the furniture of his bed. " What do you mean, you impudent scoundrel, by coming up into Mrs. B-'s room ; do you come to rob the house ? "By no means, Sir ; only to return your visit. I have examined this room, and will now, if you please, go into all the others. As far as I have seen, you are veryclean; a little paint here, and a little whitewash on the ceiling, may improve it ; but on the whole it is creditable both to you and Mrs. P." As the Reverend Gentleman bad . no intention that people should return his calls, the p ractice was dibontinued...Atetropolitan. ..... -•- - _ His MAJESTY held a Privy Council at which Parlia ment was further prorogued from the 16th inst. to Tues day the 11th of December. The Hon. W. BATHURST attended as Clerk of the Council. The KING held an investiture of the lonian Order of St. Michael and Sr. George. Sir H. NICOLAS, the Chan cellor of the Order, and Mr. CIIAItLES DOUGLAS, the King at Arm', having been robed by Mr. HUNTER with the mantle of Saxon blue, lined with scarlet, Mr. DOUGLAS was presented to his MAJESTY by Sir HARRIS, on being appointed the King at Arms of the Order of St. Michael and St. George. His MAJESTY having been pleased to command that Vice-Admiral Sir PULTENEY MALCOII3I, K•C.B., who, pursuant to former Statutes of the Order, had resigned the ensigns of a Knight Grand Cross on quitting the com mand of the naval force in the Mediterranean, should he reinvested, Sir PULTENEY, preceded by the Chancellor and the King at Arms, the latter hearing on a velvet cushion the Badge and Riband of the Order, was presented to the KING, and was reinvested with the insignia of a Knight Grand Cross. Lord DURHAM had an audience of the KING, on his return from his mission to the Emperor of RUSSIA. His MAJESTY also gave audiences to the LORD CHAN CELLOR, Earl GREY, Viscount PALMERSTON, Lord HILL, Sir JAMES GRAHAM, Earl of ALBEMARLE, and Mr. STANLEY. Viscount Asuuftoox and Admiral Sir HENRY 13LACK WOOD were the Lord and Groom in Waiting. The Court broke up about 6 o'clock. The Duke Of CUMBERLAND visited his MAJESTY soon after his arrival in town yesterday afternoon. His MAJESTY left town in the evening on his return to the Palace at Windsor. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.

THE SPANISH NOVELISTS.—No nation in Europe affords finer materials for fiction than Spain. The antiquities of the country—the beauty of its scenery —the character of its inhabitants—the peculiarity of its manners and the luxury of its climate, all render it the fitting abode of Romance, the very name of which is almost identified with Spain. The writers of this country are, therefore, among the choicest of those who have adopted fiction for the display of their genius ; and the interesting specimens of genuine Spanish Novelists in the forthcoming volumes of Mr. Roscoe, will attract the attention of all reAders—those who seek merely for amuse ment, and those who like to study the various aspects of mank ind, as influenced by custom and country. • It was said of an extremely unlucky man, that if he were to fall upon his back he would be sure to break his WIC. On Sunday evening last this island was visited with one of the most violent storms ever known within the memory of any of its oldest inhabitants. It blew a perfect burl i. cane from the south-west. The whole firmament glowed with lightning, and peals of thunder followed each other every moment, in terrific succession. This convulsive rage of the elements continued, without intermission, throughout the night, and at five o'clock on Monday morn. ing, the merchant vessel William, bound from Halifax to London, with a cargo of timber and rum, was discovered by the coast guard, drifted upon a reef of rocks at the back of the island, near a place called Atherfield At this time the sea was running mountains high, while its furious surges were breaking in upon the vessel from all sides. The individuals on board, seventeen in number, including the Captain, mate, and two passengers, gave themselves up as lost; for there appeared no earthly hope that they could possibly escape a watery grave, every mo ment, nay, every second, bringing with it a roaring power of water that threatened to sweep them into the deep!— Meanwhile shots were fired over their heads, to apprise them that some experiments of danger were to be made from the shore, with a view of rescuing them from de struction. Captain Manhy's plan of discharging a mortar, with a rope connected with it, was tried twice, but failed in both instances; upon the first attempt the shot struck the stern of the vessel, and upon the second it entered ber aide ; of course no rope was conveyed to the unhappy men, who were thus upon the very brink of being plunged into the foaming abyss! At this dreadful moment, when coolness and self-possession were to be preserved in the very midst of mental agony, a rocket rolled over the head of a seaman on the jib-boom, and, mistaking the object of it, he ex claimed " Well, if this a'rnt a pretty business ! Isn't it enough for us to have storm, thunder, and lightning, but we must be fired at into the bargain by them 'ere coast blockade chaps?" The poor fellow, however, was soon convinced that this discharge was the harbinger of safety both to himself and every person on board. The rocket carried with it a rope, which, falling upon deck, was re garded with feelings of joy and gratitude to Divine Pro vidence, such as words would in vain attempt to describe. This rope was at once made fast to the ship, while three others were drawn in a parallel communication with it the shore: a boat was then placed upon them, and in a very few minutes the whole party of the wreck elided on to terra firma, amidst the reiterated cheers of all who behe'd their miraculous escape. But if 17 human beings have thus been preserved to their country, their friends, and so ciety, let it never be forgot ten that, under thg Great Dis penser of all human events, they owe their lives to an in habitant of Newport (Mr. Darnett), wbo has had the merit of devising and bringing to practical perfection a plan which gives him the strongest claims upon the grati tude of humanity, and entitles him to the most liberal sup port of the people of England. Endeavours are now making to get the cargo on shore; and an agent from Lloyd's attends for the purpose of seeing what can be done. It requires all his vigilance, and that of the coast guard, to look after the number of plunderers who are lurking about in every direction for the purpose of playing the same part as their Cornish brethren. It is rumoured that nine vessels, under the sole command of Lieutenants, are immediately to be com missioned for the coast of Africa, for the prevention of slavery. —Plymouth Journal. CHOLERA IN CLEVELAND.—We regret to state that the Asiatic cholera broke out last week at Hut ton Rudby, a manufacturing village, near Stokesley. A linen-weaver, just returned from Newcastle-on-Tyne, was attacked with this dreadful malady, and in a few hours was a corpse: instead of immediate interment, the body was washed, laid out in due form, and kept till next day, numerous persons being admitted to the room where it was. Up to Sunday night,lhere were, we hear, seven deaths ; among them three out of four of the family of Catch-i:side, who kept a publiellionse, the fourth being in a state of extreme danger. On breaking into Ole bouie, which was not opened as usual, the master and mistress were found dead, one near the fire, the other in the passage. Mr. PALMER, the surgeon of the village, was another victim : we understand there were sixteen cases in all up to that time. Hutton Rudby is one of the dirtiest villages imaginable; and its inhabitants, generally, very dissolute. At Stokesley, the greatest precautions were taken to pre vent any communication with the infected village, con stables, &c., being stationed at the various entrances to the town. We do not hear of any fresh cases at Stockton or Hartlepool.—Leeds Intelligencer. THE ORIGIN OF TITHES IN ENGLAND. " About this time (A. D. 855) ETHELWOLF conferred a donation on the clergy, for which they had been contend ing for several ages. The Jewish Law, which bestowed on the Levites the tenth of the produce of the land, wa• regarded by the clergy as obligatory on Christians ; and, notwithstanding the obvious absurdity of this application of the law of MOSES, they were inclined to extend it to a tenth of all merchandise, industry, wages of labourers, and pay of soldiers. They preached with great warmth and sincerity this indispensable duty; but the interests of the laity bad hitherto been too powerful for their eloquence. At length ETHELWOLF granted their request; and the states of the kingdom consented to the establishment of tithes. The English, doubtless, imagined that this bene. volence would procure them the protection of Heaven against the Danes. This way the epocha of clerical opu• lence in England.—Abbe de Milot's Elements of En glish History. A PERILOUS SITUATION.—A correspond ent of The Rochester Observer relates the following ac count of a wonderful escape from almost certain destruc tion .—" Mr. Editor—l had just arrived at the Falls of Niagara, when a canal boat was discovered to be floating down the centre, probably two miles above the cataract. It was soon discovered that there were persons on board, who gave evidence of distress and alarm. The facts, as obtained by the writer from two of the persons on board, were very nearly as follows :—The boat belonged to the Welland canal, and received freight from the Canada shore, two or three miles above the Falls, and was towed up b, a horse on the shore. The master of the boat, Captain CooN, was sick on board, and entirely unable to take charge of her. The management was entrusted to anethei man, a boy of seventeen years old, and a young woman of the same age. From some deficiency in attaching flu tow-rope to the horse, it gave way, when the boat wa s about three miles above the Falls. They soon discovered that they were not only floating fast from the shore, but rapidly downwards. Tt.ey could not reach bottom with their setting poles, and had no means of making a suc cessful effort to reach the shore. Consternation seized the crew as they saw on the one hand the American shore, at the distance of two miles, and on the other the C triads shore, at the distance of one mile, fast receding ; and a mile and a half below they saw the smoke of the dreadful cataract, which they of one accord had now concluded would form their common grave. All was excitement— nothing was done, nor could be done with hopes of suc cess ; till at last the man,—the only efficient band in thi management of the boat,—concluded to make one exertior. to save himself, plunged overboard, and swam for the Canada shore, one mile distant, taking a diagonal course downwards, hoping to land above the Falls. He was dis covered from the shore, and at the great risk of the dis coverer was taken from the river just at the breaking of the water. After he left the boat, the boy and the young woman concluded to make one more effort, which they di d by raising a sail, hoping that the almost imperceptible breeze might float them so far towards the American shore as to land them on Goat Island. Their mast consisted of their setting pole set into the stove pipe, to which they attached blankets for sails. They floated so far towards the American shore that they were taken from the boat by six men who ventured in a small boat to their relief, although they were so near the Falls that the water had become very rough. The boat passed on the American side of Goat Island, on the rocks, in the rapids, just above the Falls, where it remained when the writer left, on Wednesday. The whole circumstances as related by the young man are most deeply interesting and affecting, and although too deeply affected when he told the story nex , day, to give a connected chain of the event, yet he mani fested during the transaction, a presence of mind in erect ing sails, closing windows, &c., which would have been creditable to riper years, and no doubt saved them from the destruction that awaited them below. The boat had a horse on board, which they forced over-board during the time of their greatest peril, hoping he would read:the Canada shore, but the poor animal made hi s grave . the vortex belew.".../Yew York Commercial Advartsur. Affairs. M. Humann (Member of the Chamber of Deputies), Minister of Finance. M. Thiers (Member of the Chamber of Deputies), nister of the Interior. M. Guint (Deputy), Minister of Public Instruction. M. Barthe (Deputy), Keeper of the Seals, and Admi nistrator of Ecclesiastical Affairs. M. de Rieny remains Minister of the Marine—and M. d'Argout of Commerce. In addition to this nomination of Ministers, the Moni tor contains other ordinances by which the Chambers are convoked for the 19th of November, and Baron Lewis, and M. Girod de l'Ain, are cre ited Peers of France. The latter is also appointed President of the Council of State (a tribunal resembling that into which our Privy Council resolves itself to hear appeals). THE MINISTRY. (From the National.) Behold, at last, the Doctrinaires in power ! Three of the new Minis era belong decidedly to that party, and M. Thiers has assumed their mask to come in with them. M. Guizot and M. Thiers counselled and enforced the adoption of the measure of the state of the siege for Paris, although 24 hours had elapsed since order had been com pletely restored ; and Messrs. Soult, d'Argout, Itigny, and Barthe, participated in that violation of the Charter, by affixing their names to the ordinance. Thus will six Ministers out of eight have to answer for the coup d'etat as their own work in the discussion of the Address. This is all as it should be. The respective positions will be better seen—the Chamber will find itself placed in presence of its real adversaries, and the country will see to whose hands its destinies are intrusted at a mo ment when the Holy Alliance deems it. expedient to put an end to the long mystification to whic:2 we have e" timely submitted, and no longer even takes the trouble of concealing its intentions. (From the Temps.) Eleven o'clock at night' Every thing appears to have been concluded ; the country is to be set at defiance; the most unpopular names will probably be proclaimed to-morrow by the Moniteur. The direction of public affairs is about to be entirely con tided to men who have so often endangered the safety of the country by their deplorable counsels. Those who advised the state of siege are now joined to those who ordered it to be carried into execution with so cruel an emulation. They have coalesced to justify from the tri bune the military instructions, the preventive arrest (ar rest on suspicion) of literary men, and the retro-activity stigmatized by a decision of the Supreme Court ; they come to vindicate before the representatives of the nation the attempt against their inviolability, by an essay of a 31st May in petto upon three Deputies, against whom the Court discovered no charge to warrant a prosecution. The Journal des Debats, the organ of the Doctri naires, and their isolated defender, again called out yester day morning for the immediate convocation of the Cham bers. We think, like our contemporary, that the safety of France depends upon that measure. Let them dare to convoke the Chamber ! We await them at that grand trial, which will be productive of a Ministry in harmony with the wishes of the country, or, perhaps, a revolution, according as Royalty thinks proper to yield or resist. It would be exceedingly painful ior us, and we would sin cerely regret, to see a dynasty so young in its existence, the offspring of a source so noble, disown the principle to which it owes its creation, and repudiate and cast off its popular origin for a deceitful legitimacy. Who then, we ask, would dare to hesitate between the King and the country ? But every hope has not entirely vanished. The King has con-ented, but not yet signed. A game in which a Crown is at stake deserves, at least, 21 hours' conside ration ere the derisive trick be played. In one night, therefore, what a field for reflection presents itself to the imagination ! We know the Sovereign likes to consult his family under such ominous circumstances. Let hint hearken to the voice of that pious Queen, yet se moved with high and recet.t misfortunes; let him consult his sister, whose strong and exalted mind so well understands the fa•ality of revolutions; let him call on the young Prince, the hope of his throne, to repeat the lively com plaints of the people he lately visited, and he will, no doubt, hesitate to cast that firebrand amid parties now ar rayed against each other. But if, contrary to all the dic tates of wisdom and expostulations of prudence, the advo cates of arbitrary measures shall have obtained the upper hand in the Monarch's Councils, wo be to them !—wo be to us all, who perceive the abyss of civil discord ready to open again under our feet ! (From the Courier Fr•ancais of Thursday.) Since last evening the Ministerial thermometer has un dergone many variations. The Doctrinaires had again been set aside, on account of M. de Broglie's haughtiness and exigence. He went so far as to say that he repre sented two inseparable persons, himself an I M. Guizot, and that neither would enter the Ministry without the other After breaking off with the Doctrinaires, the former Ministers had determined on meeting the Chambers as well as they could, by taking in an orator or two to plead their cause. In this combination it was only necessary to find a substitute for M. Sebastiani, who voluntarily retired. M. d'Argout was to have taken charge of the portfeuille of Foreign Affairs, and to be replaced in the commercial department by M. Thiers. It was hoped that a reconciliation might be effected between M. de Monte livet and Marshal Soult, but this was found impossible. The altercation they had had together was of so warm and so serious a nature, that they could not well form part of the same Cabinet. DI. Montalivet, being the younger, was obliged to yield ; but every attempt to bring him to make any advance towards a reconciliation proved ineffec tual. The difficulty of finding a substitute for that Minister—. not, as may be supposed, on account of his talents and capacity, but because there is little inducement to enter a Ministry so completely lost in public opinion—that dif ficulty, we understand, has brought about a new change, and overtures were again made in the afternoon of yester day to the Doctrinaires. At first, Messrs. de Broglie and Ilutnann consented to enter the Cabinet without M. Guizot; and M. de Rigny promised to withdraw the re signation he had offered for the second time. Such was the state of things at six o'clock yesterday evening ; but Loan, ed; orid9 since then the Doctrinaries manoeuvred and managed n matters so skilfully that M. Guizot was admitted into the new Ministerial structure, and M. de Rigny was prevailed upon to remain. The definitive list of the Ministers was, in consequence, shortly afterwards presented to the King, who already knew and approved of its composition. The combination to which we refer, however incredi ble it may appear to some, does not surprise us, because, from the moment when the Doctrinaires came forward, we predicted their success, and gave our reasons for it. We now possess the patriarch of the doctrine ; we have the advisers of the state of siege ; and in order to ensure their concurrence in the consolidation of the repre sentative Government, so well understood since the charte vjrit6, we have at the head of the Council the man who gave us already the measure of his respect for Constitutional principles, in his instructions on the state of siege of Paris, Lyons, and Grenoble. On that account, do the friends of that Cabinet smile when you speak to them of a majority in the Chambers. They care much, indeed, about the majority. They are strong, they say " they know how to bring to a sense of its duties a Chamber that would dare oppose them." Pitiful brava does, by which no man is affected. The Chamber will come and compel the Government to carry into effect the condi tions of the Charter—to strengthen that Charter so vio lently shaken by the attempt of the 7th of June. It will grant its confidence to none but Ministers opposed to vio lence, coup d'etat, and to a Camarilla Government. Since there are men to be found who volunteer to renew all the follies of the restoration, a Chamber will also be found to resist them, and devise measures which the wis dom of a nation deserving of a better treatment will suggest. The Constitutionnel only says—" We learn with a deep feeling of pain and terror that the Doctrinaires have just gained over public opinion one of those victories which ever prove fatal to the conquerors."
