THE RESIGNATION

Immediately after a brief sitting of the cabinet council,
on Saturday, Lord Derby repaired to Buckingham Palace,
to tender to her Majesty the unanimous resignation of
ministers, which the Queen was graciously pleased to
In the afternoon, Lord Granville and Lord Pal-
merston had 'audiences of the Queen. It is believed that
Lord Granville is interested in the formation of the new
cabinet, with Lord Palmerston and Lord J. Russell as itg

most prominent members.—A grand banquet was given on
Saturday night, at the Merchant Tailors' Hall, to her Ma-
jesty's ministers. Lord Derby, in his speech, announced that

ministers only held office until their successors were
appointed. Ile expressed his radiant hope that, in -the
present 'crisis of affairs, no time would be lost in com-
pleting the formation of a new administration, and
he pledged himself and his party to offer no
factious opposition to the government; He admitted
that the course taken by the proposers of the amendment in
the Commons, was straightforward and manly; " while T am,''
his lordship added, "not conscious of having deserved that
want of confidence, I yet bow to a verdict which, in point
of fact, would render it impossible for me, satisfactorily, to
conduct the business of the country." Referring to foreign
affairs, Lord Derby said, " If we have not been successful in
preventing other countries entering into war and causeless
hostilities, ive'have, at least,,been successful in keeping this
country out of the turmoil of war ; we have protected her
from all embarrassing and entangling .alliances,. and we are
enabled •to leave to our successors a state of things which

they may use either for peace, if it be possible to maintain-
it, or for war, if driven into it."

LIVERPOOL POLICE INTELEIgENOE.—Saturday.

BEFORE MU.. MANSFIELD.

" UNFORTUNATE MARY .',IITART."—Mary Stuart;.a well-
known female " garotter," and who keeps-no less than six
"bludgetters" to follow her at night through the streets,
and who has committed many depredations about Lime-
street on infused gentlemen going 'home at night, was
brought up by officer 765, on the folio-Wring charge. Mr.
"Ruck appeared for the prisoner: The Officer said, at one
o'clock in the morning, I saw the prisoner running along
Roe-street; and thinking she had committed some depreda-
tion. and knowing her to be a female sort ofJack Sheppard,
I made a grasp and succeeded in catching her. She
flung something from her, and I 'brought her back
to the place, when I found this pocket-book, with
some documents and a five-pound note in it. When
taking her to the station this gentleman came up, and said
the woman had robbed him of a pocket-book and a five-
i)nnd note. In reply to Mr. Bluck, the officer said he did
not see her " do the deed," but he'knew she had done some
one when he saw her running, _as he knew her well. Mr.
Charles, the prosecutor, `saidlie lived in Lime-street, and
was going home at the time stated. The prisoner followed
him for some distance, when he pushed her. away. She
-caught him by the coat, snatched his pocket-book out of his
side-pocket, and ran away. He was about to follow her,
when two or three big men suddenly appeared, and
'obstructed him—so he ran round the other way, and
'met the officer with the prisoner in custody. Mr. Bluck's
argument went towards the identity of the prisoner, but
Mr. Charles and the officer-swore positively to her, and the
latter swore positively he saw her fling something away,
which proved to be the pocltet boa. The prisoner was the
terror of Limo-street and the' locality, although she had
been convicted several times before. His Worship said,
Mary Stuart seemed to be an unfortunate name. He sent
her for trial.
