TUE MINISTRY.—A greater proof 'of the
lively interest taken by the country in the present unsettled
state of its Ministry cannot be given than the great de-
.mand for the two able pamphlets lately noticed by us, via.,
" The Result of the Genera Election t or) What Las the
Duke of Wellington gained by the Dissolution ?" and
" The Country without a Government:" both of which,
we see, have reached the Third Edition in a leff days.
Workmen are now beginning to take down
the low wooden shed which has so long disfigured the in-
tenor of Westminster-hall. Nearly the whole of the Be.
dords of the Courts of King's Bench and Common Pleas
therein temporarily deposited Are already removed to the
upper story, at the east end of the King's Mews, where
suitable apartments have been prepared for the reception
and preservation of these important documents. .
An Evening Paper,-with a dishonest mean-
ness scarcely conceivable, copies the letter of Count MOLE
to the South American Envu3s, which we published ex-
clusively yesterday morning, as part of its French extracts.
In what French Paper did it appear ?—Tintes.—Why
does not our cotemporary name the Gffending Journal?
The words " an Evening Paper," mean nothing.
On the night of Wednesday, the 29th Wt.,
some barbarous fiends cut the throats of ten hea,l of cattle,
on the lands of Genoa, on the borders of this county anti
the county of Tyrone. We have not heard any cause
assigned for this diabolical net, but we trust the vengeance
of the law will fall upon the guilty heads of the base
wretches who perpetrated it.—Ennishilkts Parket.

On Tuesday evening last a beautiful celestial
phenomenon was observed at Edinburgh, eonsi•ting of a
long stream of light, which presented an appearance similar
to that of the Aurora Borealis, and formed a 1 irg►• luminous
arch, in a direction nearly from west to east. The phe-
nomenon was visible in various parts of Scotland, and con-
tinued so for about two hours.
THE REFUOE FOR DESTITUTE SEAMEN.—

- -
This building is now rapidly rising on the site of the late
Brunswick Theatre, under the auspices of the Reverend
Boatswain S3IITII. The workmen employed have
prayers every morning at six o'clock, but for all this the
piety iif some of them is rather questionable. A person
passing that way saw an Irishman listening very wen-
tivi ly ; the stranger asked him if he were not a Catholic?
" Yes," was the answer. How, then," inquired the
other, " can you join in prayer with these people ?" " Oh,
by J—s !" replied the labourer, " its asier work than
cleaning bricks."—Sunduy Times.
MILITARY. FLOGGING...—. Many of our
readers will be glad to learn that petitions to Parliament
are now in course of receiving signatures in this city
against the brutal and degrading punishment of our owl-
diers and sailors by the whip. This mode of correction'
may be very proper fur dogs; but, to have an intelligent
being—a man who has been professedly engaged as one of
the defenders of our laws and liberties, subject to he tied
up to a post for the most trifling offence, and whipped till
life is nearly exhausted, must destroy every manly feeling,
and produce an effect the very opposite to the one which is
desirable. The soldier is a citizen, and should be heated
accordingly, and not like a brute.— York Herald.
TILE NEW POLICE.--A meeting of the
parish of St.. Pancras was held yesterday, for the purpose
of taking into consideratioo the necessity of petitioning his
MAJKSTY to do away with the " New Police Act," and
" The Turnpike Bill." At least two thousand five hen_
deed persons assembled. In the midst of the proceedings
the Chairman announced that he had been robbed of his
gold watch, seal*, chain, keys, and all the money he had
in his pockets. The doors were closed, and every exer-
tion made to detect the daring plunderer, but in vain.
A reWardt.f2ol. was instantly offered. After several pa-
rishioners bad addressed the meeting, various resolutionv,
deprecating the Acts of Parliament, and a petition to the
Kura, founded upon them, were unanimously agreed to.
ALTERATION IN THE NEW POLICE.-...In
the 'parishes of St. George, Hanover square, and St.
James, Westminster, the day duty of the police Las been
mat,rially re-organised both as to the number of men
employed in those two districts, and the length of time
they remain on duty—they arc now a separate body front
the nightly watch, and are employed on no other occasion.
They commence duty at six o'clock in the morning, and
continue till one o'clock in the afternoon, when
oanrealgieafino,f
the same number comes on, and remains till seven o'clock
in the evening, when the morning party comes
and stays till nine o'clock, and the nightly watch then
proceeds under the former regulation. Only half the pre_
sent number will be required under the new system, so
that the remainder will augment the force at niAht.

LAUGHABLE JOKE.—Since the late out-
rages in the vicinity of Dover, by the breaking of thresh-
ing-machines, a great excrement has prevailed evertamong the friends and relatives of the farmers residing in
that town. Last week a tradesman, who has >a brother
in the farming business, received an anonymous letter, in
a similar strain to what the depredators have been in the
habit of sending, threatening that he might expect his
house to be fired if he did not put away the thrashing-
machine he kept on the premises. In consequence he
became much alarmed, as well as hit lodgers and neigh-
bours; the former left his apartments, and a vigilant
watch was kept throughout the following night. On the
succeeding day the wag who sent the letter caused it to
be understood that the sturdy spouse of the tradesman,
who in a recent domestic renctintre with her Benedict
proved herself the better half, was the machine alluded
to—which eclaireissement turned all the serious appro.
hensions into merriment.

MOTHER AND CHILD DROWNED.—On
Thursday forenoon the body of a child, about ten months
old, was found drowned in the water adjoining Swann's
Mill, near this town. The infant being recognised as
belonging to a person named /tutus', whore mother bad
left home with it some days before, and had not since been
heard of, apprehensions were entertained that the parent
would in all probability be found to hive shared a similar
fate. Persons, were therefore, employed to drag the
Canal, when they succeeded in finding her body also. On
Thursday evening an inquest was held before Mr. Alder-
man YATzs, at the Bowling.green public-house, Oxford,
street. It appeared in evidence that Jon:. ALt.apt, jun.
with his wife and child, came to reside with his father,
who keeps the County Bridewell, some time ago, and that
they appeared to live together on the most affectionate
terms. The mother was extremely fond of her child, and
there was no reason to suppose, from her manner and
conduct, that her mind was affected. On Saturday,
the 25th of Eeptembert she left the Britiewell to take
walk with her child, and appeared in her usual health and
spirits, In letting her out the turnkey saw nothing in her
appearance to excite observation. JOHN ALLLN, the
father of the child, hail, at the request of his father, gone
to London and Bristol, in the hope of hearing something
respecting his wife and child, as he had no suspicion of
their deaths. The following is a copy of a letter found
in her pocket, *Without either name or address :—" If any
thing happen to me, which I am afraid of, I hope your
father will not blame you for it; but I cannot live here—,
lam wretched. lam sorry for you, for you always have
done every thing before ire came here to make me coin-
fel table, but I believe yet; did not study me in coming,
as you know I never was used to hard work. I cannot
do much, and perhaps you will do better without me ;
but I feel I Canna...4 is not from any guilty motives that
1. wish to die—but I cannot live without my dear mother
—Gon bless her, and you, and every body ; and I hope
the Loan will receive my soul. If you will let my MO-
ther and sister have my olothes and things, I shall be
much obliged to you."—Lisit this letter should produce a
filet in:pre:Won on the minds or the jury, Mr. Am..)l
and another witness stated that the deceased never did any
hard work while there.---Verdict of " Temporary de-,
rangement."—Leicester Override.
