RESIGNATION OF MINISTERS.

The Duke of WELLINGTON—I have to an-
nounce to your Lordships that her Majesty's servants
have tendered to her Majesty their resignation of the
offices which they have held in her Majesty's service.
In consequence of that, her Majesty has sent for a
Noble Lord, with a view to form an early administration
of the Government of this country. As the affairs of this
country are now, my Lords, this information will probably
induce your Lordships to think that it will be desirable
to suspend the discussion of those measures which are
likely to become measures of controversy in this House
until those who have the honour of being her Ma-
jesty's servants shall have an opportunity of forming
their arrangements, and shall be able to come down to
this House to transact the public business. One ques-
tion has been voted for the consideration of this lions,
on Thursday next. My Noble Friend near me
has
given notice of his intention to move the second reading
of the Bangor and St. Asaph Bishopric Bill on Thurs-
day, and I submit to my Noble Friend the necessity of
postponing the second reading until her Majesty':
servants can come down to this House to atteno
to the discussion upon it, as her Majesty i•
interested in this measure. There are other measures
which will require your Lordships' immediate attention,
and one of them may be laid upon the table thi-
day—l mean the short Sugar Bill for the con
tinuation of the duties on sugar for one montl
from the sth of July next, and which it is
desirable should pass this House without delay, whoever
may be her Majesty's servants. It is desirable that,
under these circumstances, I should propose to
your Lordships not to adjourn, but to con
tinue sitting from day to day for the con-
sideration and the passing of this measure ;
but the consideration of those measures, which must be
matters of controversy, should be postponed until the
new Government shall be in a position to attend to
them.
Lord BROUNAM signified his readiness to postpone
his :notion.

_._ .._
The Earl of PONVIS also signified a similar inten
tion.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE entirely subscribed
to the propriety of the course proposed by the Noble
Duke, of postponing for the present all business
likely to involve public discussion, and he
thought that the Parliament was indebted tc
her Majesty's Government for keeping in office
till the measure respecting the sugar duties be passed.
He would suggest also to the Noble Duke the propriet)
of dispensing with the standing orders for the purpose of
expediting the passing of the measure.
METROPOLITAN TER lID.71".

The Report of the Commi,:sioners of the Metropolitan
Termini was laid on the table.

SUGAR DUTIES BILL.

After some delay, the Bill for continuing the Sugar
Duties for one month longer was brought up and read e
first time.
The Duke of BITCCLEUCH gave notice that he
should move to-morrow the suspension of the stand-
ing orders, in order that the Bill may be read a second
time.
Their Lordships then adjourned.

On the motion for the third reading of this Bill,
Mr. CAVENDISH moved as an amendment that the

Lord ARUNDEL seconded the motion of his Hon.
Friend, as the decision of the Committee had caused the
greatest dissatisfaction amongst the coal owners of the

the e4untrY, and the coal districts in the north.

RESIGNATION OF MINISTERS.
The private business having been disposed of, the

of Sir Robert Peel. The House never on any occasion

pt.esentcd such a thronged and animated appearance,
and we observed that several ladies were in the

'lokiAtei'liast five o'clock Sir Robert Peel entered the

eurfaultatkii+ with Sir James Graham, he rose and ad-
