THE MINISTRY.

It is with much regret we announce that the
Duke of Newcastle has beea compelled by increas-
ing ill-health to resign the seals of the Colonial
Department. In compliance with the anxious desire
of his colleagues, he continued until Saturday last
to discharge with characteristic fidelity the duties
of his office ; but his constitution, enfeebled by
several recent attacks of unusual severity, required
absolute repose, and he has been at last ineueed by
the exigencies of his physicians to seek that relief
from labour which a less energetic mind would
have claimed at a much earlier period.
Mr. Cardwell, who first entered the present Go'
vernment as Secretary for Ireland, which post he
exchanged for the almost sinecure office of Chen-
cellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, will succeed the
Duke of Newcastle as Secretary of State for the
Colonise, and will thus vacate his seat for Oxford,
The writ will be moved this evening, and Mr.
Card well will, we believe, be re-elected without
opposition.
Lord Clarendon, who first entered the Cabinet in
1840 as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, but
has since held some of the highest offices of the
State, having been five years Viceroy of Ireland
and five years Foreign Secretary, has consented
to accept the comparatively humble office with
which he commenced his distinguished career, and
will succeed Mr. Cardwell as Chancellor of the
Duchy.
One or two other changes will probably be rep"
dered necessary by these arrangements.

THAMES.

AMENITIES Or Woitwarousn RULE.—Catherine Mori-
arty, a poor woman, who looked very pale, thin, and
feeble, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with wil-
fully and maliciously breaking a large pane of glass and a
globe for a gas lamp in the Poplar Workhouse, of which
she was an inmate.
George Mart, porter at the workhouse, said that the pri-
soner refused to perform the task of oakum picking assigned
to her, and she was put into imprisonment, and out of re-
venge she broke a pane of glass and a globe. He put in a
certificate from the Union doctor that she was in a fit state
and able to do the work assigned.

The prisoner said she could not work. She was very ill.
She had undergone a painful operation in the Poplar Hos-
pital, and any independent doctor would say that she was
not fit to work.

The sub-matron of the Popular Union said the prisoner
had undergone an operation two years ago, and had been
an inmate of the workhouse at repeated intervals for 3k
years. When she came into the hou.se she would do
nothing.

Mr. Paget—ls she really able to do any work?
Witnese.—Yes, light.
Mr. Paget—What do you call light work?
Witness —Oakum picking.
Mr. Paget—ls that light work ?
Witness—it is, a littlo of it; she is not required to do
much, or to work beyond her strength.
The prisoner, who trembled very much, said she could
not do the work.

Mr. Paget said two witnesses had sworn the prisoner
could do the work assigned to her. It was a mischievous
act to break the property in the workhouse. Ile sentenced
her to one month's imprisonment and hard labour.

THAMES.

AMENITIES OP WORKFI01:8E RlTl4E.—Catherine Mori-
arty, a poor woman, who looked very pale, thin, and
feeble, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with wil-
fully and maliciously breaking a large pane of glass and a
globe for a gas lamp in the Poplar Workhouse, of which
she was an inmate.

George Mart, porter at the workhouse, said that the pri.
Boner refused to perform the task of oakum picking assigned
to her, and she was put into imprisonment, and out of re-
venge she broke a pane of glass and a globe, ae put in a
certificate from the Union doctor that she was in a fit state
and able to do the work assigned,

The prisoner said she could not work. She was very ill.
She had undergone a painful operation in the Poplar Hos-
pital, and any independent doctor would say that she was
not fit to work.

The sub-matron of the Populaf Union said the prisoner
had undergone an operation two years ago, and had been
an inmate of the workhouse at repeated intervals for 3}
years. When she came into the hole she would do
nothing.

Mr. Paget—ls she really able to do any work?
Witness—Yes, light.
Mr. Paget—What do you call light work ?
Witness—Oakum picking.
Mr. Paget--Is that light work ?

Witness—lt is, a little of it; she is not required to do
much, or to work beyond her strength.

The prisoner, who trembled very much, said she could
not do the work.

Ur. Paget said two witnesses had sworn the prisoner
could do the work assigned to her. It was a mischievous
act to break the property in the workhouse. He sentenced
her to one month's imprisonment and hard labour,

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

The show of foreign stock in our market, to-day, was
only moderate, yet the demand for it ruled inactive, at
barely late rates.

From our own grazing districts, the arrival of beasts
fresh up this morning; were on the increase, and the
quality of most breeds was prime, especially the Scots and
crosses from Norfolk and Scotland. The beef trade was in
a very inactive state, at last Monday's quotations. The
general top figure for beef was 4s 8d ; but very prima
arrivals realised 4s 10d per 81b.

The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam-
bridge, amounted to 2,200 Scots, shorthorns and crosses;
from other parts of England, 600, various breeds; from
Scotland, 266 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 100
oxen and heifers.

We were fairly supplied with sheep for the time of year,
and nearly all breeds came to hand in good saleable condi-
tion. Prime Downs and half-breds in the wool, sold
slowly, at late rates; otherwise, the mutton trade was
dull and heavy, sheep declined 2d per 81b. The best
Downs, in the wool, sold at 6s; ont of the wool, 4s 8d to
4s 10d per 81b. The top quotation for clipped Lincolns
was 4s 4d per 81b. Lambs moved off steadily at from
6s 8d to 75 4d per 81b. A few very superior lambs pro-
duced 7a 8d per 81b. The supply was only moderate.
Calves—the show of which was moderate—were in slow
request at lates, namely, from 4s 4d to 5s 4d per 81b.
The demand for pigs was in a sluggish state, at last
week's currency,

THE ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA,

Our instant impression as to the brilliant success
achieved on Tuesday last by Mdlle. Lagrua upon
the occasion of that, her first, appearance before a
London audience as Norma, has since then been
fully and triumphantly confirmed by the great
soprano's double repetition of that same cha-
racter, namely, on Thursday and on Satur-
day. It is no passing success, therefore, as we
felt satisfied upon the first impression would prove
to be the case, that we have, in this instance, had to
record. It is a resplendent and a secured victory
over immense difficulties—paramount among those
obstacles to Mdlie. Legrua's triumph as Norma the
certainty there was before her of being brought into
comparison—it was feared (erroneously) into invi•
dious comparison—with her renowned predecessors,
one of them still her great popular contemporary
at the rival opera house : Madlle. Titiens, and that
perennial Queen of Song, "la Diva," as she is still
tenderly called by her host of admirers, Madame
Grisi. The event has preyed, however, that
Mdlle. Lagrua need fear no comparison—even
in Norma. On Thursday, and again on
Saturday, the gifted prima donna elicited
from large and appreciative audiences at
the Royal Italian, still more earnest plaudits
than those which greeted her impersonation of the
love-lorn Druidess upon the occasion of her first
performance. An advance of cordiality, on the
part of her audience at Covent Garden, attributable
probably to her own increasing confidence in this
fresh arena, for her, of victory over all competitors.
To-moerove evening, Mario's first appearance this
season—a first appearance delayed from Saturday,
the 2d, until Tuesday, the sth instant, by reason
of the remarkable success of Madlle. Lagrua as
Norma—will be enhanced in interest by the Great
Tenor's then and there impersonating Massaniello.
On Thursday, both .Madlle. Destinn and Signor
Wachtel will make their first appearance—not for
the season alone, but their first appearance at all,
before a London audience—in Verdi's Il Trovatore
Mario appearing for the first time these eight
years—and perfectly well do we remember his
doing so then—as Fernando, in La Favorite, of
Donizetti.

To the Editor of " The Sun,"

Sin,--Supplementary to the interesting extract headed
" Dimples," in your Saturday's impression, permit me to
add a few remarks :--

The only word the Romans seem to have had for dimple,
elasinus, was of Greek extraction," and is thus used by
Martial—

" Nee grata est facies, cui gelasinus abest."
They also sometimes expressed the word by an elegant
periphrasis ; and one of their writers called it " Sigittum in
mento impressum Amoris digitulo ;" which Lord Byron
adopted in the line—

" The seal love's dimpling finger has impress'd,"
