ties, the Clergy, the gentry and the Nobility of the land,
had long before passed their just sentence of condemna-
tion on a system of policy which has been characterized
throughout by gross incapacity and the most wretched
trickery and subterfuges. The anxious wishes of the
whole nation have at last been accomplished, and the
Whigs arc out With the slightest exertion, by a mere
lifting of the hand, the three seats for the county may
be secured for Conservatives. And as to the town, a
little determination, an exertion of the same spirit and
activity which carried the Municipal Elections of last
November, will rid us at once of the ex-Chancellor of
the Exchequer, and of his eloquent and talented col-
league, the formerly resident Member for the Borough.
The latter gentleman will, at all events, find the Elec-
tors of Cambridge quite as ready, on their part, to
close the connection that has existed up to this time
between him and them in the capacity of Representative
and constituents, as he has latterly, on his part, shown
himself indifferent to keeping up the slighter bond of
connexion, that of being fellow-townsmen.—Caoibi•idge
Chronicle.

Almost before the ink with which we wrote the fore-

going sentences was dry, Lord Melbourne's Govern-
ment has come to an end—that Government which has
effected for the country the rrost numerous, and the
greatest benefits of any or all the administrations for the
last sixty years—that Liberal Government which was
disposed to make public advancement keep equal pace
with public instruction—that mild and moderate Go-
vernment which was prepared to check, by means the
least coercive, those extreme and violent dispositions to
change, which unhappily beset the nation from so many
quarters.—Norwich Mercury.
Should the Tories venture to take office, a rebellion in
Ireland must be the result, and the issue of that re-
bellion it cannot be difficult to foretel. Everything,
therefore, depends upon the constituencies, to whom an
appeal must, ere long, be made ; and it consequently be-
hoves every man who possesses the franchise, to be at
his post, and to act as if the success of the cause of re-
form. and the destinies of his country, depended on
his single vote.—West Briton.

Leta Cabinet be formed of men animated b;• one
spirit to defend the National Establishments and con-
stitutional Monarchy of England—of men averse from
corruption, holding no sympathy with abuse, but united
and determined to support the great religious institu-
tions which connect Protestantism with the State in
the three countries—united, too, not less firmly to sup-
port in its full integrity the authority of the House of
Lords, as tantamount to the maintenance of the British
Constitution—let such an Executive, we say, be formed
under the favouring auspices, and honoured with the
just confidence of our Gracious Sovereign, and the
country will be saved—" The convictions, the feelings,
the affections of the people, which have long been gra-
vitating towards the old centre, in which are planted the
respect for property, the love for national freedom, the
attachment to long-established and prescriptive rights"
—all these will again rally round the government of the
country, and impart vigour by giving encouragement
to wise, and loyal, and enlightened councils.—Soifolk
Chronicle.

HURRAH FOR THE QUEEN !--After a portion of
our country edition had been sent off by post last even-
ing the glorious intelligence reached us that Sir Robert
Peel, in consequence of an insult offered by him to the
feelings of the Queen, had, by the spirit and determina-
tion of her Majesty, been relieved from the responsibi-
lities of forming a Tory Ministry. In order to wait
for the confirmation of this blessed news we have de-
layed publishing until much later than our usual hour.
The Morning Papers, we rejoice to find, do confirm it
most thoroughly.
With what a burst of joy will this announcement be
received throughout the kingdom. The Queen, bless-
ings on her name, will be held closer than ever to the
hearts of her gratefal people, and the Ministry will
re-enter upon the arduous duties of their office with a
tenfold confidence on the part of the nation. The event
that has occurred was the very thing that was wanted
to bring and bind together all classes of Reformers.
The indignity and brutal tyranny attempted on our
young and beloved Queen, afford an unerring foretaste
of what the people might expect from such a set of
rulers ; but, thank GOD, the nation is still secure.
THREE CHEERS FOR HIS LORDSHIP. HURRAH ,FOR
THE QUEEN.—Surrey Mercury
The Tories have been baffled in their attempts to
form a Ministry. The Queen has refused to expel all
her female friends from the Palace at the bidding of
the Tories, and her Majesty has called upon Lord Mel-
bourne to preserve her from the degrading bondage
which it has been attempted to impose upon her. The
loyal Tories demanded her M jesty to dismiss every
lady of her household ; but with becoming spirit she
declared :—" I would rather be reduced to the level of
a private subject, than be deprived of the society of
those to whom I am personally attached, and who have
been the friends of my childhood."

Lord Melbourne cannot resist the appeal of our youth-
ful Queen at such a moment, nor will he. lie has only
to call together a genuine Liberal Cabinet and appeal
to the people to rescue his youthful Queen and country
from the fangs of the Tory faction, who, to serve their
vile party purposes, spare neither sex nor age, name nor
condition.—Dover Chronicle.

THE TORIES FROWNED OUT.—Since we wrote our
leading article, which appears in another column, a
obangeijaacorne over, the spirit of the world's political.
dream. Sir Hobert Peel and his newly-nominated al-
lies, have resigned. Why—our readers will ask ?
Because they showed their teeth too soon, they got
rampant too early—the tyranny they intended for the
people showed itself first in the Palace, and Royalty
duly and nobly rebuked it at once.

Sir Robert Peel required of her Majesty that which
a washerwoman in her cot would not submit to. This
man (is he a man ?) required. of the Queen to discharge
every personal female friend she had about her. The
Queen most properly offered to discharge her official
attendants, but absolutely refused to dismiss her private
friends. She claimed the right of a subject. Debarred
that right, she would in resigning her friends resign the
Throne also. She hinted to Sir Robert that one must
resign, and on the hint Sir Robert gave up his office.

Now it will be in the recolletion of - our readers,

that the Court of William the Fourth was a Court
decidedly, openly, and actually hostile to Lord Mel-
bourne. Lord Melbourne is a gentleman—no one will
gainsay that. He never attempted to interfere with
the private friends, nor yet with the official personages
who surrounded his Royal Master ; and why should
Sir Robert Peel have attempted to interfere with those
surrounding his Royal Mistress ? Oh, Tyranny, how
clear, distinct, undeniable are thy features ? They
will show even in the sunniest climes.—Hampshire in-
dependent.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—I shall feel exceedingly obliged if you will per-
mit me, through the medium of your journal, to inform the

grim," which was honoured on the first and subse-
quent nights of its representation at Covent-garden Thea-
tre with enthusiastic applause and unequivocal success, is
withdrawn until the commencement of the ensuing season.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your obedient servant

WHAT IS DUE TO THE QUEEN.—HOW pecu-
liar were the forbearances due in this case,
upon which Sir Robert Peel made the utter-
most, and the hardest, and harshest exactions. The
sex of the Sovereign, her extreme youth ; the
strangeness and embarrassment of change to her, un-
practised in such mutations ; the natural desire to
retain some familiar faces about her, some accus-
tomed services, some proved, and believed in at-
tachments ; all these considerations might have
dictated a remission of Sir Robert Peel's peremp-
tory exactions, but the Tory leader felt nothing but
his own power. He probably thought he had to
deal with the timidity and inexperience of a girl in
circumstances of novelty which double the hesi-
tations of timidity and inexperience, but he has
found to his cost that he raised against him a spirit
and a courage far higher than the level of his pre-
sumption, soaring as it was.,---Examiner.

The Rev. Mr. Stephens addressed a very nume-
rous auditory yesterday morning, at eleven o'clock, in
Shepherd and Shepherdess' Fields, City-road. The new
Poor-law Bill was the subject of his most vehement de-
nunciation. After an eloquent and impassioned discourse
of upwards of two hours, to a most attentive and decorous
auditory, chiefly of the working classes, the Rev. Gen-
tleman proceeded to Primrose Hill, where, at three o'clock,
he again preached to a large assemblage. There was a
very formidable police force stationed in the neighbour-
hood, and an attempt was made by the representative of
Mr. Rhodes, the gentleman who rents the field, to prevent
Mr. Stephens preaching, on the ground that the grass
would be injured, but it was not persevered in. During
Mr. Stephens' second address the rain fell in torrents, but
it did not appear to have the slightest eff_et in shortening
his arguments, or eliciting any symptom of impatience
from his auditors. In the evening he preached a third
time on Kennington Common, and notwithstanding the
driving rain and chill blast, there were several thousands
around the pulpit when our reporter left at nine o'clock.

AN OLD CALr.—On Thursday last, at Ayton
cattle market, Mr. Hood, sold a cow and a calf, bred by
him, for the sum of 521. The calf was one year and four
days old, was sucking the mother in the market, and was
considered to weigh 42 stones !—Berw!c!: Advertiser.
