Last evening an inquest was held at the London Hos-
pital, on the body of William Walker, aged 13, who
died on Sunday last, in consequence of two shot wounds
received in the abdomen from a brass cannon, four inches
in length. It was discharged in the street by a lad of
the name of Radford, aged 16, and incautiously placed
by him in a position to cause the fatal accident. The
Jury returned a verdict of " manslaughter" against Rad-
ford, who is in custody.

Hops, which are now acknowledged to possess many
valuable medicinal qualities, were in the year 1428 peti-
tioned against in Parliament as a wicked weed.

The Zoological Gardens in the Regent's Park yester-
day received a valuable addition, in the purchase of a
fine male and female chimpanzee, in addition to a fine
male procured last week.

The Courrier de Lyon states that the King of Sardinia
is busy with a project of boring a tunnel through the
Alps, in order to facilitate the communications between
France and Italy. This must be a greater bore than
even Peter Borthwick himself !

Lord Morpeth was at the House of Commons on Mon-
day afternoon. On quitting the House and riding among
the crowd assembled round the door, he was graciously
received and greeted with loud and continued cheering.
A gentleman of Hull, in good circumstances, is said
have been silly enough to walk about the streets the
whole of the night before the returns Were to be made of
those who had slept in each house, that he might deceive
the Government.

A lady, of the name of Joanna Forest, who accompa-
nied Mr. Green in his late balloon excursion, represents
the appearance of the river Thames as that of " ani-
mated reptile, of ponderous growth, serpentining along.
As the lights sprung up in rapid succession like glow-
worms in the twilight, the object became more compact,
and the bridges bore the semblance of sparkling fillets
encircling spaces of gloom, while the roads looked white
and riband-like, the inlets and outlets of the great city."
At a numerous meeting of the inhabitants of Brighton,
held in the Town-hall on Monday. it was unanimously
resolved to invite the Directors of the London and Brigh-
ton Railway to a public dinner on the 14th September.
The Advertiser observes :—" It is rumoured that the
Lords and Gentlemen in waiting' (for office) are so
numerous and troublesome in their solicitations from Sir
Robert, that he already almost wishes for the re-Peal of
the vote recently come to by both Houses of Parlia-
ment." These cormorants will not rest satisfied till they
have picked Sir R. Peel clean to the bone.
The Shareholders of the Leeds Zoological Gardens
lately passed, by a great majority, a resolution in favour
of the partial opening of the Gardens on Sundays.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
(THIS DAY.)
Charles Thompson. a person very fashionably dressed,
.was placed at the bar before Mr. Maltby, the presiding
Magistrate, charged with the following unprovoked as-
sault :—His Excellency Count Dewits, of No. 15, Upper
Seymour-street, Portman-square, stated that between
two and three o'clock this morning. he was walking up
the Haymarket arm-and-arm with two friends, when he
received a most violent blow on the back of the neck,
which nearly stunned him, and on turning round saw
the defendant close behind him.

Police-constable No. 141, of the C division, stated that
he saw the defendant running across Piccadilly,
and on coming up with Count Dewits, he struck him
with all his might in the manner described.
Mr. MALTBY inquired whether any provocation had
been given to the defendant ? His Excellency said—
Not-the slightest ;ho had never seen or spoken to the
defendant before to hisknowledge.

The defendant said that he was returning home from a
party when, as he was crossing Piccadilly, he was struck
by some person, and although he could not tell by whom,
he thought he had a right to return the blow to some one.
Mr. MALTBY—Pray, in what station of life are you ?
Defendant—l am a medical man.
Mr. MALTBY—Then, I shall fine you 31., and in de-
fault commit.you to prison for one month.
The defendant immediately paid the fine and was dis-
charged.

THE MAII1;-•
CORN EXCHANGE.
T S-----TII.IS DAY.
The arrivals of English Grain this week have been mode-
rate, but of Foreign Wheat considerable. The fine weather
keeps the Market very dull. For Wheat Monday's prices were
asked, but scarcely any sales could be made. In other Grain
no alteration. Flour met a heavy trade.
NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL.
Meat was in good supply ; trade extremely dull, in conse •
quence of the close weather, and prices merely nominal. All
kinds of Poultry were in good supply. The trade brisk, and
prices rather high. Grouse, ss. to Bs. per brace ; Pigeons,
6s. to is. per dozen ; Tame Rabbits, Is. to Is. 6d. ; Wild
do. 6d. to 10d. each ; Leveret, 3s, to 6s. each ; Geese, 4s to

heavy of sale at Saturday's prices.
COLONIAL MARKET.

The transactions were on a small scale, but holders were
arm, and former rates were fully supported. The imports
were fair.

TEA MARKET.

The-e was an active demand, and a large business transacted,
at 2d. ver lb. advance. Company's Congou fetched 2s. 4id.
cash, and the market looks healthy.
TALLOW MARKET.
_ .

Prices were firm, and a fair demand existed. P. Y. Candle
on the spot at 493 and 48s. 9d. for delivery in the last three

•
ROYAL ARTILLERY.—Such was the attach-
ment of the officers and men of the Royal Artillery to
Lord Vivian, that when he left the mess-rocm on Satur-
day evening, on paying his last visit 'to the distinguished
corps over which he has so long presided, a number of
officers followed him to the door, with cries of " God
bless you, my Lord ; God bless you." Several of the
more homely of the men saluted him as ho departed with
shouts of " Good luck to you, my Lord ; good luck to
you.' kle had always been the friend of the soldier.

EVENING SUN

THE CABINET.

The Times and Morning Post, now jealous
rivals for priority of information respecting the
movements in the Tory camp, give different ver-
sions of the new list of Cabinet Ministers. The
former journal states that the Duke of Welling'
ton is to be President of the Council and the
Duke of Buckingham Privy Seal, while our more
polite Contemporary gives the first of these ap-
pointments to the Duke of Buckingham, and the
second to the Duke of Richmond. Besides the
list in the first journal is very defective. One
of the parties, of course, must be in error ;
and though - the Times yesterday de-
clared that they would not, •by adopting
any rumour, however plausible, lend thein-
selves to the dissemination of a report which
may ultimately prove to be incorrect, we confess
we have more confidence in the intelligence fur-
nished by the favourite of the fair sex in
.high
life, which is thus published in magnificent type
this mornino-:—.
Ministerial Leader of the House of Lords, without
office, the Duke of Wellington.
Lord Chancellor, Lord Lyndhurst.
President of the Council, the Duke of Buckingham.
First Lord of the Treasury, Sir Hobert Peel.
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, the Earl of
Aberdeen.

Secretary of State for the Colonies, Lord Stanley.
Secretary of State for the Home Department, Sir
James Graham. Bart.

First Lord of the Admiralty, the Earl of Haddingion.
Privy Seal, the Duke of Richmond.
President of the Board of Trade, the Earl of Ripon.
Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, Lord Wharn-
clitre.

Little doubt is entertained as to the three last-men-
tioned offices being filled by the three Peers we have
named, but there is some discrepancy in the statements
we have heard as to the specific distribution. The,
stronger current of information seems to be in favour 01
the arrangement as we have given it.
Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Goulburn.
Secretary at War, Sir H. Hardinge.
NOT IN THE CABINET.

Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Earl De Grey.
Irish Secretary, Lord Eliot.
Master-General of the. Ordnance, Sir George Murray
It had been generally supposed that, in conformity
with. tile arrangements of the last Conservative Adminis'
tralion, Sir Robert Peel would hold, as Mr. Pitt, 10
Perceval, and Mr. Canning did, the united offices of First
Lord of the .Treasury and Chancellor-of_tha _Exchpauer,
We believe it is now felt that the duties of the Finance,
Minister, and the minute acquaintance with the details 0'
financial accounts which it is expedient he should Fos'
sess, render it politic to leave that department to the 101"
divided attention of one Minister. Mr. Goulburn, there'
fore it is understood, will be appointe4 to that office.
Since the above was composed, the Times has
admitted that the list published in the mornia
was incorrect, and has put forth in a third editiou
the following new exhibition, which we suppose
is the real Simon Pure—
The Times Office, 12 o'Clock.
In confirmation of the announcement we ventured , •
lay before the public this morning, we are now enabled
to give'the following authentic list of the new Ministrl..l
which Sir Robert Peel has probably by this time sub'
mitted for her Majesty's approbation.
It will be observed that in assigning to the Duke
Wellington the Presidency of the Council we were raisbri
formed. The Noble Duke would not, indeed, withhom*
from his friends the aid of his great name, but with 00
absence of self-interest for which he has always beell
remarkable, he will only occupy a seat in the Cabinet/
without office, and of course, without emolument.
Sir R. Peel, First Lord of the Treasury.
Right Hon. H. Goulburn, Chancellor of theExchecrier*
Lord Wharncliffe, President of the Council.
Lord Lyndhurst, Lord High Chancellor.
Duke of Buckingham, Privy Seal.
Earl of Aberdeen, Foreign Secretary.
Lord Stanley, Colonial Secretary.
Sir James Graham, Home Secretary.
The Duke of Wellington, in the Cabinet without office'
Lord Ellenborough, President of the Board of Control,
The Earl of Haddington, First Lord of the AdmiraltP
The Earl of Ripon, President of the Board of Toxic'
Sir F. Pollock, Attorney-General.
Sir W. Follett, Solicitor-General.
Lord Lowther, Postmaster-General. ,
Sir H. Hardinge, Secretary at War.
Sir E. Knatchbull, Paymaster-General.
Earl de Grey, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland.
Lord Eliot, Secretary for Ireland.
W. E. Gladstone, Vice-President of the Board of TY lide'
The remaining appointments are not yet finall- I fir:
ranged, but there is no doubt that the following 1•1;
men and Gentlemen will hold office in the Ministr rl
Lord Mahon, Lord Liverpool, Lord G. Somerset,• Es
of Chesterfield, Lord F. Egerton, Sir G. Clerk, Si r
Rae; Sir E. Sugden, &c.
It affords us much gratification to hear that his I
Highness Prince Albert, in conjunction with her .11'
jesty, manifested an earnest desire to act in strict
cordance with the spirit of the Constitution, and to
ford to Sir R. Peel every facility in the formation of
Government. The reception which the Right,Hon. B i'a„„
net met with from her Majesty was most gracious and k If*
Her Majesty expressed her determination to extend to a
R. Peel's Government her most implicit confidence
support, under the firm belief that no measures would: .0
proposed to Parliament that would not tend to maint*,/
the dignity of the Crown, to conserve the institutions.",
the country, and promote the happiness and prospeeo,l
of the people.
