ladies in question, as on the only hope that had not
departed from them. The. scheme of these miserable
intriguers has succeeded for the moment—and little car.e
the framers of that scheme for the injury which thenr
fleeting success may ultimately inflict on their Royal
victim."

The Morning Advertiser thus alludes to the causes
of Sir R. Peel's resignation :—" The negotiation for a
new Ministry is at an end. The cause is a personal
insult to our young Queen by Sir Robert Peel,
and strange to say, authorised by the Duke of
Wellington. Every office in the State—every place
in the Household, held by any Member of Parlia-
ment, or any person of political influence, was
placed at the disposal of Sir Robert Peel. But not
content with this sacrifice, sanctioned by our constitu-
tional principles, though never freely or completely
granted by her grandfather and uncles, and in truth
never exacted from them to its full extent—the Queen
was required to sacrifice to the vanity of the Tory
Ladies, or to the rapacity of their lords and husbands,
all the ladies in attendance on her person. In other
words, a young Queen, twenty years of age, who has
lived for two years with friends whose affections she had
gained, and to whom she was warmly attached, was ab-
ruptly called upon to ensconce herself among persons
who have shown, particularly of late, no affection to her
person, and who, for anything she knows, may be secret
friends and adherents of her uncle of Hanover, the heir
to her throne There could be no political motive for
this attack but a desire to degrade her Majesty, and
make her life miserable."

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, Mar 10.

The news of the resignation of the Tory Administra-
tion, which was circulated with the greatest rapidity
this afternoon, occasioned a large number of persons to
assemble in Palace-yard, near the entrance of the
House of Lords. Within the House, also, there was,
an appearance of unusual excitement. The strangers
gallery was completely filled, and the space below the bar
was crowded with Members of the House of Commons.
There was a goodly array of Tory Peers on the Op-
position benches, including the Duke of Wellington,
the Earl of Aberdeen, Lord Wharncliffe, Lord Roden,
Earl of Winchilsea, the Earl of Haddington, &C. 84;:
There were no Peers on the Ministerial beach
till after the proceedings had commenced, when
Lord Holland and Earl Grey entered the House. They
were followed shortly afterwards by Lord Glenelg, with
whom Lord Brougham shook hands in the most cordial
manner. The Marquis of Lansdowne, Viscount Mel-
bourne, the Marquis of Normanby, Viscount Duneen;
non, and Earl Minto took their seats on the Ministerial
Bench in their usual places. They appeared in high
spirits, while on the contrary, the Duke of Wellington,
from the time he entered the House, seemed extremely
thoughtful and abstracted. Behind the Woolsack we
observed Lord Morpeth, Mr. Fox Maule, and several
other elder sons of Peers, and while the preliminall,
business of presenting petitions was going on groups °_'
Peers were congregated in various parts of the House'
engaged in earnest conversation.
Previously to the opening of the strangers'
gallery the
Earl of Essex took the oaths and subscribed the Par'
liamentary roll.
At twenty minutes past five o'clock there were er,
wards of two hundred Peers present, when his Royal
Highness the Duke of Sussex entered the House and
took his seat on the left of the Lord Chancellor.
The Duke of Argyle, Lord Radnor, Lord Haddialr
ton, Lord Brougham, the Duke of Richmond, the
Marquis of Lansdowne, the Duke of Rutland, Lord
Portman, Lord Bandon, Lord Zetland, and several
other Noble Lords presented a great variety of peti-
tions from different places, principally in England and
Scotland, all praying for the adoption of a penny postage.
Lord DUNCANNON laid on the table certain re"
turns of committals in Ireland.
The Earl of RIPON said it was not his intention to
proceed with the motion of which he had given notice
for to-night.
Upon the motion of Earl SHAFTESBURY, the
Archbishops and Bishops' Residences Bill was reported,
and read a third time.
Upon the motion of the LORD CHANCELLOR'
the order that stood for Monday, for the second reed-
ing of the Church Bill Discipline Bill was diseharged
moving
The Earl of SHAFTESBU RY, previous to
the adjournment of the House, addressed a feword
in a whisper to Lord Melbourne, who touched his bat
and bowed, intimating that he had no communication t°
make to the House. ed
The LORD CHANCELLOR having adjourn
111:
the House in the usual form till Monday,
Lord Brougham rose, and after looking at the vas!
crowd below the bar and in the gallery, shrugile s
.a
his shoulders two or three times and laughed. Thi
significant allusion to the disappointment they had ex-
perienced convulsed the House with laughter.
The House adjourned at HALF-PAST FIVE o'clock'
