The late differences in the Cabinet continue to
form thc leading topic of coversation in the po-
litical world It is said that the proposed proceed-
ing was projected by one who was recently caged
from the Bar to a Bench, who anticipated a seat on
thc Chancery Bench and on the Woolsack las a
reward for his ingenuity and intrepidity. Lords
S. end C. and Mr. C. are als, mentioned as having
entertained a willing belief of the practicability of
the plan, but Lord Eldon with a firmness that
eternally redound to his honour, declared that he
would have no''iug to do with it; in this he was
supported by Lord Liverpool, and after the would-
bc-t hancellor had tried in vain to form a Cabinet,
the members of which would undertake nis dirty
work, he was obliged to remain Vim himself instead
of figuring away in the Court of Chancery rice-
Eldon.

INTENDED ASSASSINATIONS.'

The Metropolis was considerably agitated the
whole of Thursday, in consequence of the arrest of
some obscure individuals. charged with a crime of
the greatest magnitude, and mast repulsive to the
fillings of Englishmen. Information had Leen re-
ceived at the Office of the Secretary of State for the
Ilome Department, that a number of persons had
conspired w make an attempt oa the lives of his
Itlajesty's Ministers, and that their atrocious project
t% as to be carried into effect on Wednesday night,
when Ministers had met at a Cabinet dinner at the
1 ,r 1 of Ilarrowby's, in Grosvenor-square. Their
eiabolical purpose, was fortunately frustrated by
to apprehension of a number of the conspirators,
but not without murder, and bloodshed on their
part, is resisting the civil power. Mr Birnie, the
Magistrate, having put warrants into the hands of
the Police Officers tbr the apprehensien of the parties,
repaired with them to a stable in Cato.street, Edg-
wnre.road, where the conspirators had assembled,
who refused to surrender, when it was found neces-
s.ay to force the door. A fierce contest ensued,
but at length the Police Officers gained the ascen-
dancy. In the contest Smithers, a very meritorious
(Aker, received a mortal wound, and almost in-
stantaneously expired. The lights were then put
out by the party in the loft, and some of the clivers
were wounded. A detachment of the Guards
havirg arrived, Capt. Fitzelarence headed the
aeldiers, who dashed into the loft, which was filled
with smoke. One of the villains presented a pistol
at the Captain, which he was on the point of firing,
when a serjeant of the Guards, named Legge,
rushing fbrward to put it aside, received a shot in
Lis arm. It is supposed that about fifteen of the
renspirators escaped at the time, and nine indivi-
tle e:s were taken into custody, who were conveyed
to 11.ov-street, and after Mr. Birnic lind taken the
depositions against the prisoners, they were con
veyed to tile House of Correction :dealt twelve
o'eleck on Wednesday nigh, to be brought up again
for re-examination. Arthur Thisilewood, who
charged with the murder of the untbrtunate
e.'elithers, was taken in bed Thursday tbrenoon, at
an o.scure house in White-street, Mooi kids, and
aonveyea to Bowestreet, and fiom thence was car-
r'2,l to Whitehall, where he was examined before
the privy Council, and also a person of the name
of Bernet, charged with being the second leader
of the conspirators. _ _

'Cho militery preserved thc., strictest discipline

va:: taken; be said, " The game is ny; I make no
resistanee.",—lt is not yet, we believe, deternzined
wl:etber they are to be tried or not by a Special
ceraninwion ; and it is reported that Parliament
will sit longer than was expected.

to destroy t nine of the C'abinet Ministers was only 11hide

wide.' were, that a gang of assassins were to assassinate
his Lordship and the rest of the Cabinet Ministers,
when assembled at his house on the evening Malta' dly
at a Cabiotet dinner, The Erl of Harrowloy, alehougis

to postpotia theCalsinet dinner. Precautions were ins-
gioteliately nee Secretary of Store's office for the
I:.• ety and apprehension of the villeins. The first
i.tti.otatoon that was given of the affair at she office in
Ikaw Street was at pest seven o'clock, when it was made
4.• t own that a number creamers, constables, and patrol,
st •teld be waisted. Ellis, who is a conductor of a party
