The first call of 20 per rent. may be divided (if re quired) into two payments, viz. 10 per cent. on appropria tion of the Stock, and 10 per cent. farther when the Chatter is signed. No further payment beyond 5 per cent. will be required until the conveyance of the land is completed. The Charter (by which Stockholders will be secured against any liability beyond the amount of Stock held by each) being in progress, the Directors are ready to receive sub.cr•p'ions for the portion of Capital still unsubscribed.

The tract of land purchased by this Company from his Majesty's Government, is very favourably situated in the province of New Brunswick (the nearest point being within eight miles of Fredericton, the seat of Government), between the rivers St. John and Miramichi, about fifty five miles in length, by eighteen in breadth; of easy access from both rivers by emigrants from the United King dom, in twenty-four honrs from the day of landing. It is understood that the lines of post-road from Fre dericton to Quebec, and from Fredericton to Miramichi, which are to be commenced by order of Government during the present season, will pass through the Com pany's purchase ; and it is expected that a new Govern ment post-road from Halifax to Quebec will also pass through the Company's tract. London, May 7, 1832. T HE FOREIGN QUARTERLY RE VIEW, No. XVIII. Price 6m. Was published THIS DAY. 30, Soho-square, May 9, 1832. 2 .. r *nit. 0e,1411.e. LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 9, 1832. The Whig Ministry is for the present dis- solved—only for the present. Countrymen, fear this in mind ! ! Think too of what you owe to yourselves, and those who have so far assisted you on the road to Reform, and who only resign when they can no longer be of assistance to you. The Whig Ministry is for the present dissolved. It will be in again before a fortnight has elapsed. And it is you, countrymen, will bring them back again in triumph to office. The Borough moigers must not be masters of the lives and liberties of Englishmen. We insert the following from the second edition of the Times. The news will come like a thunder-clap on the people. Pray GOD, they meet their destiny with firmness, fortitude, but, above all, with becoming tran quillity : We are arrived at that iasue which we in some degree expected last night. The Mi nistry is dissolved! The resignations of Earl GREY, Lord BROUGHAM, and their colleagues, his MAJESTY, after some conflict—real or apparent—with his own mind, finally ac cepted, and announced such his acceptance this morning. We of course have now no time to indulge in reflection on this most important event ; we shall rather briefly enumerate the facts which have come to our knowledge. The Reform Ministry has been displaced ; ano ther—shall we call it an Anti-Reform Ministry ? is forming in its place. We hardly dare use that term, " an Anti-Reform Ministry," before our countrymen at this crisis : we hardly dare use it . or apply it to the members themselves ; for whatever may be their internal wish, they must pay so much homage to public feeling as to pretend to be Reformers. Yet the new Administration will probably be a Duke of WELLINGTON Administration ; his Grace no doubt at the head of it. The place of the Lord Chancellor BROUGHANI—(we give momentary reports of the Anti-reforming lawyers as w e have caught them)—may be supplied by Sir JOHN LEACH or a commis sion. Lord LYNDHURST will most likelygo to the Rolls, the position there being most secure. And, _what next among the legal appointments? Sir C. WETHERELL to Ireland, for the sake of peace ! Sir J. SCARLETT may step into the place Lord LYNDHURST. A new Ministry will be formed with more promptitude than a batch of Peers could be made by the old one, because there is more sincerity in all quarters. Yet there was no want of sincerity in the Members of the expiring Ministry to wards each other. Their common fate testifies their integrity. Lord BROUGHAM mingles his fortune with that of Lord GREY, from whom he will not be separated in his resignation ; and their general determination to resign, evinces their unbending attachment to the question of Reform. The arrival of his MAJESTY from Windsor to-day was looked for with the greatest anxiety by the public. The Park in the immediate vicinity of the Palace was thronged with people, who were deeply engaged in conversation upon the the present state of affairs. . . At about five minutes before one o'clock, his MAJESTY, accompanied by Sir ANDREW BARNARD, drove up to the Palace gates, attended by an escort composed of the 9th Lancers, which joined the Royal car riage at Hounslow. His MAJESTY ap peared in good health, but seemed in deep thought, and as he entered the Court-yard the assemblage removed their hats, a salute which his MAJESTY returned. At a little before two o'clock the KING held a levee, which was very thinly attended. The Duke of GLOUCESTER came on horse back to the Palace, where he only remained a few moments, and then left in great haste. There are strange rumours afloat respecting the intentions of Ministers ; but as we know nothing certain respecting these rumours, we shall forbear from publicly mentioning them. Meantime, we may mention that we entertain strong hopes that new Peers will be created, and that his MAJESTY will thereby earn a fresh claim to the love, respect, and gratitude of his subjects. It has once again become our painful duty to announce to the people of Eng land, Scotland, and Ireland, that the Re form Bill has been a second time reduced to a state of suspended animation by the intrigues of the Episcopal Bench. Yes, sixteen Bishops, in conjunction with nearly as many Waverers, have for the present—we trust only for the present—de cided the question of Reform against the country ! After this, who will say that the connexion of Church with State, of Religion with Politics, i , , or can ever be, otherwise than most detrimental to the public interests? The Bishops siding with the Waverers, the Trimmers with the Apostates, and both against the People ! Was any thing ever more natural ? Yet their Reverences will find ere long, we suspect, that they have played the game of fast and loose with less adroitness than ever. Their pluralities will gain no addi tional safeguards by their Jesuitry. Their conti nuance in the House of Lords will not one hour be protracted by it. It will restore no Stanhope rectory to Dr. PHILLPOTTS, no higher translation to Dr. GREY, nor, so far as we can perceive, will it secure the reversion of Canterbury to Dr. COPLESTONE. It is evident that in voting as they have done, the Bishops speculated on the return of the Ultras to power. Could this have been accomplished, they knew that their pluralities would be safe, and that the House of Lords would still conti nue to be graced by the exceeding comeliness of their presence. But miserably, most miserably, will they be disappointed. A Tory Adminis tration, acting at least on Tory principles, is henceforth clearly impossible. Such men can only come into power by means of the most un blushing apostasy, only on condition that they unsay all they have said, and undo all they have done for the last ten years and upwards. That they will readily make the attempt, we have not the slightest doubt ;—(the recent declaration of Lord ELLENBOROUGH puts this beyond a question) —and as little that they will fail ; for it is morally impossible that the country can place faith in the integrity of a party which, not three years since, refused the franchise even to such places as Birmingham and Manchester. Nothing of any importance took place in either House of Parliament last night. In the Commons, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER postponed his motion relative to the Bank Charter until to-morrow. The proceedings that took place yesterday at the Westminster Meeting, relative to the Reform Bill, which will be found in another column, are striking, and deserve attention. Many strong truths were spoken, and an energetic address to his MAJESTY, requesting him to create Peers, unanimously agreed to. In all quarters the public feeling is de• monstrating itself with a suddenness and intensity perfectly unprecedented. The people now see the necessity of looking to themselves for salva tion. Let our readers peruse the following cir cular just received from Leicester : Cadiz. object and intention of the amendment no man can mistake,—it is only a preliminary s'el towards the destruction of the Bill. " En franchisement," forsooth, according to the bo roughmongers, " should precede disfranchise ment," in other words, time Bill should advance backwards, heels first, as a corpse is carried at a funeral. The boroughmongering Lords would s - mon reduce it to a mere caput mortuum, their real object being, however bland their phrae ology, "to Burke" the Bill. BISHOP and WILLIAMS used fair words, till they felt their victims were within their grasp,—and then Nothing can save the Bill, or the country, from the conFequences that must result from its overthrow, but a prompt and large infikion of Liberal Peers into the Upper House of Parlia ment. The House of Peers must be " reformed" as well as the House of Commons,—this is the way in which " enfranchisement" must " pre cede disfranchisement." What boots it to the KING or his people, whether there be one hun dred Peers, more or less ? Will the KING be less King ?—or, rather, is he de facto King, whilst a click of boroughmongers, Bishops, and State pensioners, lord it over him ? What evil will result to the twenty-four millions of his lov ing subjects, from an increase of the Peerage ? Will they not share in the common bene fit resulting from their Sovereign's libera tion from thraldom, and their own liberation from insult, plunder, and oppression ? We have long urged the necessity of a creation of Peers, and the hour is at 'length arrived when we trust it will' take place. Lord GREY may have had great difficulties to contend with ; but to longer hesitate : to fail to advise his MAJESTY to make a large and immediate crea tion of Liberal Peers, would be little less than treason to his own principles, and to the State. Some of the opponents of the Bill have affected to doubt his MAJESTY'S prerogative to create Peers on such an occasion,—but who are the op ponents of the Bill in the Lords ? Are not two thirds of them Peers created during the reign of GEORGE the Third ? Does not his pre sent MAJESTY inherit the throne of his father and with the same prerogatives? If HE cannot create Peers, what title have those created by GEORGE 111, to sit in the House of Lords ? It had been better had very many of them never been elevated to that dignity—we know of no greater public benefit than would result from their being unmade, if it were possible to unmake them ; but that being impossible, we trust, not withstanding the dark and murky intrigues that have been going on, that the only means that remain to avert impending evils, will be imme diately resorted to, and that the next Gazette will announce the joyful tidings to the public.

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) PUBLIC MEETING. In consequence of information received this morning by The Sun express, the Political Council call upon the whole town to meet them in Humberstone.gate, to. morrow morning, at eleven o'clock, to petition the KING immediately to create Peers. Signed in behalf of the Council, Leicester, May S. W. BIGGS, Secretary. Our informant adds, that within two short hours of the news of the late division reaching Leicester, the people could only be kept quiet by a promise from the Political Union to call out the whole town, en masse, to meet and deliberate on the present alarming state of the country. This looks like earnest. But the displ a y w il l not be confined to Leicester alone. All Scot- land has yet to learn the news. Lord LYNDHURST'S amendment ►n th e Lords having been carried, Lord GREY has doubtless " considered the course he will take," which we trust will redound both to his own honour and the benefit of the public weal.

The music is pretty (so, indeed, is all BISHOP'S music) ; but, like pretty women, insipid and void of character. The music of the second act is superior to the first ; and the best compositions were two airs—the one sung by TEMPLETON, the other by Miss PEARSON, each of which received a doubtful encore. The opera was given out for repetition amidst considerable opposition. ST. ANN'S SOCIETY SCHOOLS.—The anni versary of this useful institution was celebrated yesterday at the London Tavern. The chair was filled by the Mar quess of CLANRICARDE, who advocated the cause of the charity in a very able manner, and evinced his interest in its success by a liberal contribution of 25 guineas. The contributions exceeded 900/. Amongst the number of recent exportations across the Atlantic Ocean, from the neighbourhood of Stokesley, the three sons of a labouring man at that place bad arranged to embark. The mother had persuaded her husband to give them the hard-earned savings of seve ral years, amounting to 201., and a quintity of hou.ebold apparel, and, under pretence of seeing them safely on board the vessel, had also proceeded with them to Whitby• Several days elapsed, and no tidings having been beard of his wife, the disconsolate husband very naturally became Suspicious, and on making inquiry he ascertained that she (loving her sons more than her husband) had also sailed with them, and was then steering her course across the foamy ocean.—.. York Herald. COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) Ti.e Loan CHANCELLOR took his seat at twenty minute.. past ten o'clock. Sir E. SUGDEN immediately informed his Lordship that 411 the parties were in waiting and ready in a case that bad been appointed for hearing in private today; and there. upon his Lordship with the Counsel and parties retired into his private room, where they were occupied for an hour and a half. The Loan CHANCELLOR, in returning into Court, said that he was obliged then to go el , :ewbere, and that he could not take any thing long until he returned ag,in. He would, however, take this opportunity of stating with respect to the SITTINGS AND MOTIONS, that it was his intention not to have intermitted the sit tings of the Court next week, but to have proceeded hear ing motions ; but from the state of the motions, he found ihat it would not be necessary for him to sit next wick, which sitting he had been informed would he contrary to the wishes of the profession. By an examination into the state of the motions which he had made, he fund that exclusive of those which were in the paper of to-day, they were fourteen in number down to the 29th of April. 11- was very much gratified to find, on looking into the dates of the motions that had been made since the beginning of last Michaelmas Term, and since the beginning of the paper whieb the Court was now going through, there could not have been but. fourteen or fifteen motions in arrear at the rising of the Court for the long vacation in September last. There had been a question with his Honour the Vice-Chancellor, whether there should be a Seal-day on Monday or Thursday next, but his Honour had thought that it might as well be post poned till 'Thursday week; in the propriety of which his Lordship entirely concurred. His Lordship; then left the Court, which was at a few minutes past twelve o'clock. KING'S BENCH-(THIS DAY.) THE RING V. EPHRAIM BRAIN. This tv,►s an indictment against the defendant for not taking upon himself the duties of the office of a constable 'of the City of London, to which he bad been elected. Upon trial it appeared that be had been elected in the room of a person named Tunnicliffe, who had left the parish before the expiration of the year, and that notice was given in the usual form, requiring him to attend to take the oath of office, but he refused to take the oath or to acctpt the duties of the office. The Jury found him guilty. On the part of the defendant a rule had been granted for quashing the indictment on the ground of an insuffi ciency of the averments. _ _ _ Sir .lastEs SCARLETT to-day showed cause against the rule, and cited various eases to show that the indictment was good. Mr. PRENDERGAST was heard in support of the rule. He contended, that it was not sufficient to charge the de fendant generally with refusing to accept the office, but it should also have been averred that he had received notice of his election, and of his being required to attend to take the oath, and his refusal to comply with that notice. Their Lordships delivered their opinions seriatim. They held the indictment to be good. If the charge had merely been that the defendant had refused to attend to take the oath upon notice to do so, it would have been ne cessary to set out that notice and refusal. But the charge being that he refused to take upon himself the office, it was sufficient to aver that fact, leaving the facts of the notice and refusal to take the oath as matters of evidence in support of that charge.—The rule was therefore dis charged. THE KING V. W. HUGHES HUGHES, ESQ. M.P. In a former term, Sir JAMES SCARLETT obtained a rule, calling upon Mr. Hughes to show cause why an in formation, in the nature of a quo warranto, should not issue, to show by what authority he held the office of Al derman of the Ward of Portsoken. The application was at the instance of Mr. Michael Scales. Mr. Fold. Err to-day showed cause against the rule, and entered into a detail of the circumstances at tending this case, all of which have been repeatedly published. The Learned Counsel contended, that as Mr. Scales had been rejected by the Cuurt of Al dermen as unfit to be one of the body (a power which this Court had recognised when a mandamus was applied for) it was not competent for him again to become a candidate; that the electors had notice of Mr. Scales's ineligibility, and therefore all the votes in his favour were null and void. Mr. Hughes was, consequently, although he had the less number of votes, the only eligible candidate. That principle had been adopted on all similar occasions by the Corporation, and also by the House of Commons in many cases. Sir JAMES ScikLeir contended that the rule should be mule absolute. He denied the power of the Court of Aldermen to reject a person elected by the wardmotee, and cited a by-law of the reign of Queen Anne, which made it imperative on the Court of Aldermen to swear in the person returned to them. After some discussion it was arranged that the quo war rant° should issue, and that an action by Mr. Scales against the Corporation for a false return to the mandamus now pending, should be postponed until the quo warrant° was settled. ADMIRALTY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) THE RELIANCE. In this case, which is one of considerable importance, relating to the validity of a bottomry bond (in support of which the King's Advocate and Dr. Nicol were heard on last Court day), Dr. Ann Ams and Dr. MATenam were heard at great length this morning on behalf of the owners, and contended that the House of Gilmore and Co. had aided and abetted Capt. Hayes in his proceedings abroad without the sanction of the owners, and that the advances made on the bottomry bond were at the instance of the Captain, and he alone was responsible, and that Messrs. Gilmore and Co., of Calcutta, had advanced the money on the bond for 1,0001., before the Court, after they had declared that they had lost confidence in Captain Hayes. Dr. Addams contended at great length that as the vessel had been under the control of Gilmore and Co., and used for their advantage, the bond could not be pro nounced for. Dr. MATCHAM followed on the same side. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, T WEL VE O'CLOCK. Every thing is at a stand-still—the Funds are in a stag nant state, and the speculators are afraid of each other. This state of affairs, we have every reason to believe, will be of a short duration. Consols, which left off yesterday at 84i for the ac count, opened at the same price, were done at 84,,}—at present they are S4-$ ;1. We have no arrivals this morning of the least conse quence. The Foreign Market is in the same state as that of the British—nothing doing as yet. This moment we have a report from the West-end that Earl Grey has gone out of office, and that an attempt will be made to form an Adminstration from the two parties. HALF-PAST TWEL VE. We have just heard that Ministers have resigned, and that Mr. Peel is coming into the Administration. An express has arrived from Paris, bringing the French Rentes '7of. 25c. The express also brings intelligence that M. Perier is considerably better, and that great hopes are entertained that he will recover. HALF-P.AST ONE. The City is still in a state of confusion and anxiety. Same accounts state that all will be settled at the Levee this day, and if the King refuse to create Peers, Ministers will tender their resignations. On the above accounts reaching the city, Consols im mediately fell to S 4, at present they may be quoted Sq-. The express from Paris brings the Rentes 70f. 25c. ; M. Casimir Perier's health has much improved. The prices of Foreign Stocks are much the same as yesterday—little or nothing doing. 7RREE 0 CLOCK. Console for Account 84i. FOUR O'CLOCK CLOSING PRICES.

Sir JAMES CAMPBELL, of Ardkinglas (for merly Major CALLANDER), whose Memoirs are just now attracting so much attention, was grandfather to the Bon. Mrs. NORTON and Lady St. MAUR. It is a singular fact, that, within about a twelvemonth, three generations of the same family should have sent forth works from the same press ; " The Memoirs of Sir James," " Carwell," the novel of his daughter, Mrs. SHERIDAN, and " The Un dying One," the last poem of his grandaughttr, Mrs. NORTON. CREATION OF PEERS.—The following ex hibits the increase which has been made to the House of Peers since 1790, at which period Mr. PITT sent four Barons to the House of Lords. In 1792 he sent one ; in 1793 he sent one ; in 1794 five; in 1796 eight; in 1797 eight; in 1799 one; 1800 two--total, in eleven year•, 30. In 1801 and 1802 Lord SIDMOUTH created eleven. In 1806 the late Duke of PORTLAND created eleven.— Between 1806 and 1820 the creations were more sparing. they amounted only to 15, of which five were military, and one the Speaker (Lord COLCHESTER.) In 1821 Lord LivEaroot, created 14 in one d,iy, all political Peen. In 1823 there was one; in 1824 there were two; 1826, in one day, nine creations by the same Minister CANNING sent up five Barons in 1827. The Duke of WELLINGTON has created nine since. The creations hy the present Ministry are 29. It will be seen from th statement that there have been in the course of the last 41) years no fewer than 135 creations of Barons, not includ• ing higher titles, the whole House of Peers amounting to only 370, and that only 36 of these have been created by the Whigs. IMPORTANT TO MAR INERS.-A new system of telegraphing by night is about to be adopted in his MAJESTY'S navy, which, from simplicity, and efficacy, will, it is believed, at once supersede the complicated and ineffective method now in u'e in the service, and vessel,' at sea will be enabled to communicate with each other at night, with even greater facility than they can now by day. The inventor is a Mr. WEST, formerly of the navy, the same gentleman who was the means of saving the liver, a few years since, of several individuals at Deal. The celebrated Lady B- wrote one daN to a poet she bad never seen :—" I love you as I love the pupils of my eyes." "Ah !" replied the Poet, " I will I coul , l sly the same of you."

Literary BRUSSELS AND GERMAN PAPERS. (RECEIVED THIS MORNING.) BRUSSELS, MAY s.—The day before yesterday the King gave private audiences to General Desprtz, General Baron Evain, and Sir R. Adair. His Majesty after wards transacted business with Messrs. Caghen and Murle naere, Ministers of Finance and Foreign Affairs. Co:onel Krezewski, of the Polish cavalry, has just entered the ser vice of Belgium with the same rank. It is affirmed that other Polish officers will shortly be received into the ranks of the army. It even seems that a Polish offieer, who has lately been appointed Lieut.-Colonel on the staff of the atmy, is intrust, d with a mission to Paris, the object of which is to recommend his countrymen to the Alinhcer of war. The 200 pontoons of copper which the Government has had made in France are expected to-day at Bcussels. A letter from Arlon informs us (the Independent) that General Dumsulin h id caused the brigade of Custom-house officers at Hesperange to be carried off by a squadron of cavalry. Before committing this act of violence he sent a superior officer to the spot to inquire if the brigade was armed. The officer found five carbines at the s'atioa, and demanded that they should be immediately sent b-yond the line of the territory of the fortress ; but before the Cut tom-house office' could make his report the carbines and the men were seized and carried into the fortress. They were released a few hours afterwards. General Chasse has within these few days commenced the construction of some new works on the bastion situated to the north of the citadel of Antwerp.—Brussels Papers, May 6. HEIDELBERG, APRIL 2b.—We have hitherto been purposely silent with respect to a lying article, dated Brunswick, April 13, stated to be from a Polish officer of high rank, which appeared in the Freisinnige, of the 20th April, imagining that its monstrous improbability would defeat its object. It is stated in this letter that Thrive 83,b00 Poles have been ordered to Siberia, and already t►ken to that ceuntry —that they are deprived of heir names, and designated by numbers only—that they have been compelled to form second marriages with prostitutes, and that their first and lawful wises have been distributed among the Russian soldiers. In the Russian Journals we find the most exact statements of the number and quality of the Poles banished to Siberia, with the causes of their banishment. Some of the exiles are curtain y tepanted from their families ; but the latter, for the most p.rt, receive support at home. As for compulsive second mar riages, r r giv,ng the wives to Ruasian soldiers, such a thing is nut to be thought of. In Russia nobody is compelled to marry at any time, and the Russians would naturally prefer unmarried Russian girls to old Polish women—the Government would, therefore, do no favour. to the army by such a present: It is equally false that the Govern ment marries the exiles to prostitutes. With respect to the numbering of the prisoners, the fact is correct s this is for the sake of regularity, they being all entered on a list which contains their names. Every prisoner is at liberty to ad ipt a new nano., which in the original list is added to his real name. This latter, however, is not made known to the comman.ler of the escort, who has only the numbers with the newly adopted tame. This is, therefore, a measure of considerate delicacy in the Russian Government, not to huts and disgrace the fami lies of the unfortunate exiles. Every one on returning from his exile is at liberty to resume his real name. Such is the explanation of the article alluded to, which was dictated not by ignorance of the mode of proceeding in Russia, but by studied virulence against Russia, in the consciousness that prejudiced minds can be easily main tained in this manner, in hatred to Russia and sympathy with her enemies. —Manheitn Gazette. SPIRES, APRIL 29.—The Journal of this cilee con tains the following notice from the local Government :-- "In the name, &c. In No. 82 of the Spires Gazette ,12. re is a warning, intimating that the system of employ— ing spies and infornhrs is to be introduced in the circle of the Rhine. This statement is hereby positively and officially contradicted. This will suffice to relieve the inhabitants of the circle from any such apprehensions. " The undersigned is, however, obliged to the Spires Gazette for giving him an opportunity openly to certify to the public the honourable and strictly legal intentions of the Bavarian Government. With this view he publishes the following passage from the confidential circular ad dressed on the 20th instant, to the Commissioner• General of the kingdom, by the Prince of Octtingen Wallerstein, Minister of the Interior, and leaves it to the public to ap— preciate the contents of the object of the warning alluded to :--- Extract, &c.—" The Government of Bavaria will never suffer a system of secret information and inquisitorial police to be introduced in our fine country. But it is the business of the Ministry and the Magistrates vigilantly to watch all intrigues that threaten danger to public order, and whenever any attempt of this kind is discovered, to counteract, it l y public and honourable interference, and by the strict application of the laws. "Administration of the cirul of the Rhine. " Spires, April 26. Baron V. ANDRIAN." RE FORM. (From the Times City article.) The vote of last night in the House of Lords may literally be said to have unhinged the whole system of business in the city, whether in reference to the funds, to banking, to commercial affairs, or to any kind of transactions between one Englishman and another, or be tween the English merchant and the foreiener. We have met with no individual sifted with the habit of reflection on p opting events, who could say that he stands in the same position as he did yesterday, before this vote was re corded. This is the feeling of course with respect to the danger which may be said to hang over the country (until our merchants and capitalists are quite sure the alts rna tive will be resorted to) of a dissolution of the Ministry, the loss of the Reform Bill, and a Tory Administration, the concomitants of which would be, to quote the senti ments of a very large majority, war on the continent and revolution at home. This is a predicament in which the leading members of the commercial world will feel them- T s n e ei lv ve e esxtuol creationtl et exultation afe Peerse d manifested , until t o aatlnol extent tye r n n bty a deegu alagainpartiestoi itkh s ee e l y c o t e t r te e ta, by n a' pro fit by such a change, was as conspicuous as the despon dency of those who Itment the comecpiences to the country at large. There are no political qui stio is en which it so immediately bears as those affecting Holland and Portu gal. It was perfectly obvious that Dutchmen already an ticipate the abandonment of the treaty, an unmolested invasion of Belgium, and the re-annexation of that country to Holland; while the Miguelites could as little conceal that they considered the Latent a death-blow to the expedition of Don Pedro. The advocates of arbitrary principles, and of crusades against liberal opinions on the continent, evinced equal gratification. Of the clnsequen ces to the country if the threatened danger shall really fall on it, men entertain different notions, suited to their re spective views, but nearly all foresee that the crisis will be terrible. Steps are taking on all sides to convene meet ings, and prepare addresses to the K;ng and to the House of Commons suited to the emergency, and the full action of them is only suspended until it has seen if new Peers are created, or the Ministers tender their resignation. We need not repeat the various rumours circulat-d to-day re lative to the course which Lord Grey intends to pursue, as a few hours must now place that beyond all doubt; nut the eagerness with which every statement, however vague, was caught at and repeated. proved in a degree more striking than we have ever known it on any similar occasion, what an intense interest and anxiety this unex pected stop in the proceedings has created. It would be imagined, perhaps, at a distance, that sufficient warnings have been given to the commercial world to prevent this shock from taking them by surprise, but the case was far otherwise. The most sagacious were, it seams, wholly unaware of and unprepared for danger. One consolation, however, they possess, and it has been reiterated to-day in all quarters—that the evil of uncertainty, which has been so long impending, will at length be removed ; that the safety of the R-form Bill will be secured, or the country h e fairly committed in the struggle to obtain that or something better from the Government. The Lords of the Treasury, on the applica tion of Mr. ROBERT PRESTON and others, have just issued an order to remit the duties on deficiencies of sum, when taken out of the bonding warehouses for consumption, fur longer from the bth of April last.—Liverpoo Courier. Several suspicious cases of cholera, one of which proved fatal in a few hours, occurred on Friday and Saturday last, at Liverpool, but which, on being in vestigated, were pronounced by the Board of Health cases of common and not of Asiatic cholera.
