The singular fact, that the important information of Lord
LivEnrooL's resignation has not transpired through any of
the public papers, although it was tendered so long ago as
Tuesday last, is an abundant proof of the want of correct Intel_.
ligence on the part of the daily papers, and of the superiority of
our own sources of information.

We have the happiness to state, that It is his
MAJESTY'S intention to visit this his favourite
place of residence early in October, and to re-
main at the Pavilion throughout the autumnal
and winter months.—(Brighton Herald.)
THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.--MS Grace,
who has been indisposed fora few days, we are

happy to state was yesterday considerably re-
covered, His indisposition arose entirely from a
severe cold, caught from sitting in a current of
-air when he was hot. It was the ear-ache which
confined him to his bed ; the-pain.was intense.
A Gentleman who 'arrived in town on Friday
evening from Vienna; states tli4t 'the, Marquis of
LONDONDERRY is inconsolable for the loss of his
truly amiable brother.
Lord GEORGE WILLIAM RUSSELL arrived yes-
terday evening in town from the Duke of BED-
FORD'S seat, Woburn Abbey. Ills Lordship was.
expected to set off this day for Vienna,
A. short time before the Royal visit to Scot-
land, Sir T. LAWRENCE painted at Buckingham
HOuse a full-length likeness of his MAJINTv,
which is considered a master-piece of the kind.
His MAJESTY took so great an interest in the,
execution of this picture, that on one occasion he
has been known to sit to the artist for four hours
together.

BERLIN, AUGUST 27.—The house of M. A.
MOSSIER, in this city, has stopped payment;
the failure is stated to be for 400,000 rix dollars.
Some measures, it appears, are in contempla-
tion at the Bank, for reducing their capital, or
the annual amount paid for interest. Different
plans have been proposed for the consideration
of the Directors. One of them is to reduce the
interest at once from 10 to 71 per cont. and to
tender to the Proprietors in return for their ac-
ceptance of that diminished rate, a bonus of 25
per cent. on the capital. The other is, to employ
the surplus capital of the establishment in buying
up 'and cancelling Bank Stock, until its total
,amount is brought within the prescribed limits.
The Magistrates at the different Police Offices
had no small portion of their time occupied,
during the last week, in receiving the affidavits of
male and female candidates for conjugal felicity.
A CORONER'S INQUEST was held on Satur-
day night, at St. Thorrias's Hospital, on the body of Sarah
Saville, a girl seven years of age, daughter of Mr. Saville,
of Zoar-street, Gravel-lane, Southwark. The deceased;
who was a very little child, was, very improperly in the
opinion of the Coroner and Jury, ordered by her mother,
while the latter was lying in bed, to light a fire in 4 room
underneath the bedroom, and while she was in the act of put,.
ting a kettle of cold water on the fire, she fell against the bars
of the grate in such a position that she could not move her-
self; her face and bosom were dreadfully burnt, her throat
was scorched shockingly, and her cries brought her mother to
her assistance, who enveloped her in a blanket ; but all the
clothes were burnt off the poor little sufferer's body, and
she lingered in the utmost agony for about 48 hours, when she
expired. A surgeon who attended the deceased stated, that
he applied the usual remedies generally used in such a case.—
Coroner—Were you informed how the accident happened ?
Surgeon,—Yes ; and from the
watery!njuries she appeared to have
been dreadfully scalded by Coroner.„-Would burning
have the same appearance ? Surgeon.—Yes. The Coroner and
Jury begged leave to dissent from the opinion of the witness :
they thought the appearance of 'a burn very different from a
Ocflift verdict —" Accidentally burnt to Death,"

We were in hopes that. this week we should
I have been- enabled to commtwicatf to our readers the final ar-
rangements in the Cabinet. We are sorry, however, that those
arrangements are not yet completed. „ It was understood that
his Majesty's Ministers had come to an agreement, as stated in
our paper of this day fortnight, that Lord BATHURST should
be Secretary for Foreign Affairs, and to be succeeded in the
Colonial Department by Mr. 'ROBINSON,• who.. was to be suc-,
ceeded in the Board of Trade by Mr. Hu stuasoN, with a seat
in the Cabinet. However, the Earl of LIVERPOOL, whose
superior penetration is universally allowed, is of opinion that
the business of the House of Commons cannot be conducted
without Mr. CANNING ; for however splendid the talents of
Mr..-PEEL and Mr. Ronrxsox, it cannot be supposed, as they
are yet young in office, that they can be so adroit, or so emi-
nently qualified for the management of the House of Commons,
as Mr. CANNING, who, in addition to talents of the first order,
has had nearly thirty years' experience, and that, too, during
the most arduous and important period ,of our history. - The
following facts have come to our knowledge. They are de-
rived (not, it is true, as may well be supposed, from a Cabinet
Minister,) but still from such a quarter as enables us confident-
ly to give them the stamp of authenticity :
Soon after his MAJESTY'S arrival last Sunday at Canton
Palace, the LORD CHANCELLOR had the honour of an au-
dience, which lasted some hours ; and humbly represented to the
KING the possibility of carrying on, the affair§ of the Govern-
ment, with the few trifling changes as above stated, and espea
cially the business' of the House 'of Commons, with Messrs.
PEEL, ROBINSON, HUSKISSON, and VANSITTART. On
Monday, however, the Earl of LIVERPOOL also had an au-
dience of the KING, when the Noble Earl humbly represented
to his MAJESTY, that in his judgment it' would by impossible
to carry on the business of the House of Commons, without an
accession of experienced talent; and, thalif such an accession were
not obtained, he would feel himself under thenecessity of humbly
tendering his resignation. On Tuesday, the Noble Earl had
the honour of another interview with his MAJESTY, at which
he persisted in the same opinion, and again tendered his resig-
nation, which, we are happy to say, WAS NOT ACCEPTED.
From that day to the present hour, however, the Noble,Earl
has not been with his Majesty ! On Wednesday there was a
Cabinet Council, and the result of the, deliberations was com-
municated to the KING, not by Lord LIVERPOOL, but by
the LORD CHANCELLOR. The Earl BATHURST was on
Thursday afternoon, from four to seven, closeted with the
KING, and afterwards went to dine with the Earl of LIVER-
POOL at Coombe. The LORD CHANCELLOR is daily with
his AIAJESTY, and also with the Earl of LIVERPOOL..
Lord BATHURST is likewise daily with Lord LIVERPOOL.
But with the exception of these two Noble Person-
ages, the Noble Earl , has scarcely seen any of' his
Colleagues since the day of the Cabinet Council—
We indulge a hope, that matters will still be arranged to the
satisfaction of all parties, from the circumstance of the LORD
CHANCELLOR and Earl BATHURST being thus in daily com-
munication between his MAJESTY and the Earl of LivER-
POOL. It is generally understood that the KING has private
reasons for his objections to Mr. CANNIN a's coming into of-
fice. Without entering into the nature of these reasons we
humbly take leave to remind his MAJESTY, that the late KING
had very strong public and private objections to Mr, Fox ; and
still, Mr. Fox, was twice Minister during his late MAJESTY'S
reign. The resignation of Lord LIVERPOOL would produce
a very unfavourable and injurious impression upon the public
.mind ; for although, with the exception of the Premier, the
Ministry would be the same,--still, if the present Premier, the
Earl of LIVERPOOL, should retire,' in consequence of his
conviction of the inefficiency of his colleagues, scow is it pos-
sible that the Ministry, as it would then be composed. should
possess the confidence even of their own party ? The KING, ever
since he has ekercised the functions of Chief of the Execu-
tive Government, 'has made a choice of excellent. Ministers;
'and we hope that now, his MAJESTY will not accept the resig-
nation of such a man as the Earl of LtvEnpoor.. It may be
supposed, that because we generally support the measures of
the Ministry, we are,particularly biassed in favour of Lord 1.1.
VERPOOL ; but we believe that his MAJESTY well knows, that
we have no personal or interested motives for such bias, and that
what we now say is nothing more than the echo of the disinte-
rested voice of the majority of the eople of this country. We

will go to India.
