RESIGNATION OF MINISTERS.

Lord ALTHORP has resigned. Lord GREY, un-
able or unwilling to conduct his MAJESTY'S affairs
without Lord ALTHORP's assistance in the Commons,
has also tendered his resignation, and retires full of
years and glory from the post which he has filled as
much to the permanent advantage of his country as to
his own honour. Both these statesmen will this day

explain the causes of their respective resignations
to Parliament. It would be idle to forestall
their statements, but there is little doubt that
embarassments arising from some difference of opi-
nion on the clauses of the Coercion Bill—some
variation in the views of the Irish Government—
and still more, from the unusual and imprudent disclo-
sure of such circumstances to Mr. O'CoNNELL—
have led to the step of Lord ALTHORP's resigna-
tion. The rest seems to follow of course. The public
are as yet more deeply interested in the effects than the
causes—in the future than the past—but who can ven-
ture to foretell the consequences of a dissolution of a Mi-
nistry, which will leave the country over which it pre -
sided with increasing revenues and diminished expen-
diture, with its freedom enlarged and its commerce ex-
tended ; with peace secured and honour asserted ;

with prosperity in all its branches increased and in-
creasing ? To continue these benefits must, and ought
to be, the endeavour of all who are employ ed
in the construction of a new Cabinet ; and though we

cannot venture to speculate on the exact result, yet,
when we reflect on the aspect of affairs—on the strong
current of public opinion--and last, though not least,
on- the plain, direct, and patriotic character of our
SOVEREIGN, we are prepared to say, what will
not happen, though we dare not predict what
will. The Tories cannot return to power.—
The Crown does not wish them. The Com-
mons will not have them, and the people of
England would never more submit to their
misrule. We are satisfied that the first, and
we hope the successful, endeavour of the KING
will be to form a Ministry on the principles of
Lord GREY, to give his people a guarantee
that the same spirit presides in his councils—a
spirit congenial with that of a reformed Par-
liament and an enlightened public. To enable
the Crown so to act, it is not sufficient that it wills
it. The friends of liberty and reform must give their
aid. The various classes, sects, and parties who
really dread the revival of Tory misrule, must lay aside
" all partial affections," forget all minor differences,
and shew a disposition to confide in those in whose
general views they coincide. Let them applaud
and hail any arrangement that bids fair to proceed in
the undeviating line of improvement and reform.
The quadruple treaty will be laid before Parliament

this day—a monument of the wisdom of the retiring
Ministry, and a legacy for which the liberties of man-
kind, as well as the honour of this country, is indebted to
them.

The Tories are just now in higher spirits than they
have been for some months past. They imagine that
they have got something more than a mere Mount-
Pisgah view of the Promised band of office—that they
are actually within a stone's-throw of the tempting
region. Let them not be too sanguine. There is
many a slip betwixt the cup and the lip. But granted
that they could even take possession of the Treasury
Bench to-morrow, how long would they be able to
retain their seats there ? They would have the House
of Lords well disposed towards them, it is true ; but
how would they be able to manage the House of
Commons—a House reformed in direct defiance of 1
their opposition—a House whose chief recommenda-
tion with the country is its avowed dislike to all Tory
ascendancy ? Do they look to the Radicals for sup-
port ? The Radicals would desert them the very
instant they were fixed in the saddle. 130 they
imagine they could bring over the Dissenters ?
The Dissenters would have nothing to say to a party
which has ever been the bitterest opponent of
their just rights. Do they think they could bring
round the people to their views ? The people
are pledged to Reform. How, then, would they pro-
pose to carry on the Government ? One only mode
presents itself. The Tories must falsify all their prin-
ciples—they must forswear all their pledges—they
must eat up all their words—they must apostatise to a
man—and consent to carry on the Government on those
principles of reform which they detest, and their
hostility to which drove them from office. In a word,
they must consent to liberalize themselves—that

is, to wash the black-a-moor white.
We must confess—notwithstanding the various
rumours afloat—that we have little apprehensions on
this score. The same obstacles that prevented the
Duke of WELLINGTON from taking office, as an ad-
vocate of the Reform Bill, will now prevent the Tories
from taking office as advocates of liberal measures.
The country, from one end to the other, will cry shame
on such political profligacy. It will feel its moral
sense insulted—degenerated in the scale of nations--
and hurl the transgressors from the helm, amid a hur-
ricane of execrations.
What claims have the Tories on national respect ?
Did they carry the Reform Bill ? Did they emanci-
pate the slaves ? Did they propose to purify the
Church ? Did they advocate the Corporation Inquiry?
Above all, did they reduce the requisite amount of
taxation ? No, so far from doing any thing of the
sort—so far from consulting the interests of the people,
or even meeting them half-way ; they arrayed them-
selves in haughty defiance against them : and if
Ministers have not at all times gone the fitting length

in Reform, it is less from their disinclination to do so,

than from the frivolous, vexatious, and factious oppo•
sition they have met with, at every step of their pro•
gress, from the Tories.

We throw out these remarks, not because we are

friends of a party, but because we are friends of
the people. In all our discussions we have reference
only to the national interests. That party which will
do most for the country, which will go the greatest
length to serve it, is the one to which we attach our-
selves. We fight under the national banner. Look-
ing at the question in this light, we cannot possibly see
how the interests of a mighty kingdom can be furthered
by the sacrifice of all public honour. The Tories to
do good, must rat in the most comprehensive and pro-
fligate sense of the term ; and doing so, they are not fit
to be trusted with power for an instant. The people
must be in a constant state of suspicion and disquietude
respecting them. They must be perpetually on the
watch—have an eye to all their movements. Is not
this a lamentable spirit to exist between the governors
and the governed ?
And who is to be one of the main props of the
Tories ? Mr. STANLEY ! The man who though at
heart a high aristocrat and a high churchman, yet
could endure to advocate a reform, little short of
radical ; and who after keeping his Tory sensi-
bilities carefully bottled up for two years, could
suddenly turn round on his Whig colleagues ; charge
them with shop-lifting and petty-larceny ; and consum-
mate his apostacy by betraying the secrets of the Ca-
binet ! This, indeed, is an acquisition to Toryism.
But if there be one spark of manly feeling left among
us ; if national honour—national spirit—national
intelligence be not altogether extinct—be not altoge-
ther a mockery and a bye-word, the country will enter-
tain a wholesome, vigorous distrust (we might add a
stronger term), of the statesman who could apostatize
in favour of such a party, and of the party which could
sanction such apostacy with its approbation.
We say nothing of the part that Mr. O'CONNELL
has played in this intrigue. Where chicanery was to
be resorted to, we always expected to see him foremost
among the jugglers ; but let him not henceforth pre-
sume to talk of his conscience, or his attachment to
the interests of his countrymen. He has leagued with
the bitterest foes Ireland ever had, to turn out the
best friends she ever had. Let him cease, then, to
pester us about the purity of his motives. Such a
phrase, coming from such a quarter, is enough to
make one's gorge rise.
A word more, and we have done. Let who will
come into power, our part is taken. We are for mea-
sures, not for men ; though, judging from their past
and present conduct, we fear that the Tories, like
bungling tailors, will be found to have taken but an
indifferent measure of the spirit of the age.

The two extreme parties in the State have, by the
most inconsistent conduct, the most unnatural alliance,
and the most unrelenting hostility, succeeded in em-
barrassing the Government. How long they will act
together any one can foresee. The Tories boast a
great accession of strength by the acquisition of Mr.
STANLEY, but they are woefully mistaken. The
Stanleyites have all along been a drag on the Whig
Government, and will perform the same service to any
Government that canbe formed. Proud, unbending, dog-
matical, their leader can bear no brother near the throne
--
a deserter from his party, he can inspire no confidence
and still less esteem, into his new associates—a friend
of the Church, who shows his friendship by advocating
doctrines which will lead to her destruction—a radical
and a bigot by turns—a professed friend of the Irish,
yet detested by them, more than the most furious
Orangeman—the Marplot of
the Administration
he deserted, the man whose arises ocr
bigotted notions they willingtltic pride. and
soothe, in
were
order to prevent dissension, who stood in the .way of
all their liberal measures towards the isb - entors, who i

excited the people to call for Parliamentary Reform,
and when obtained has the madness to refuse what an
unreformed House could not refuse--all other reform ;
who, on parting with his late colleagues, held out the
hand of friendship, and promised them his support,
only the more effectually to deceive ;--this is
the man who has joined with the radicals
and the repealers and the " remnant of a
broken faction," to oust those who confided in
his honesty, and who subjected themselves to the sus-
picions of the Dissenters and Ultra-Liberals, in order
to soothe his aristocratic pride and humour his new-
fangled and bigotted caprices. We wish the motley
party joy of their new ally, and look forward with
some curiosity to the way in which they will quarrel,
but without any doubt of the result. The Church ques-

don alone will be sufficient to decide the respective
strength of the parties, and the Liberal side will take the
first opportunity of putting it to the test. No House
of Commons can be returned that will support the
principle, that Parliament cannot deal as it sees meet
with the surplus property of the Church ; and still less
with the principle that the over-grown, the sinecure,

the anomalous Protestant Church of Ireland, is to be
maintained in all its worldly splendour among seven
millions of Catholics, to insult them with its wealth,
and upbraid them with their long-suffering and forbear-
ance. This House, and a new House of Commons would
decide by a vast majority, that no Clergy shall be paid but
those that perform duty, and that the surplus shall be
at the disposal of the State ; and the representatives of
the people would betray their trust, if, loaded as we are
with taxes, they voted one farthing of supplies till
the principle was acted on. But the Catholic clergy
would not be satisfied with this. However they
may disclaim at present any wish to participate
in Church property in those districts where no
Protestants exist, the feelings of human nature—the
example of Scotland, and the laws of justice and mercy,

are too strong to be long resisted. Mr. O'CONNELL
is not aiming at such a result ; but actually contending
for it, and contending for it, too, on the soundest prin-
ciples of justice and good policy. We have never

heard any serious objection to such a measure, because
no man can deny that the religion of the people ought
to be supported out of church property, and that
those clergy only who perform the duties of
religion, shall be paid ; and when the great leader
of the Catholics has fairly involved the Whigs
and the Tories, he will urge this as an irre-
sistible argument for the repeal of the Union and force
the Legislature to the least objectionable alternative.
Any one that has eyes to see cannot fail to perceive
that this is his great aim--that the plunder of the
Catholic-Irish Church (we use their own terms) forms
the grand cause of the discontent of the Irish clergy,
and that until their grievances arc redressed England
and Ireland never will be at peace. This is only one
specimen of the fruits of the heterogeneous alliance,
but it will be sufficient to upset any Government that
dares to resist it. On looking at the changes which
have taken place within a few weeks, our only regret is,
that they will lead to violent and dangereus animosi-

ties—retard improvement, and hold out for a time en-
couragement to the Continental tyrants to brave
England ; but our regret is much diminished by the
firm conviction that no change adverse to freedom can

take place which will not lead to the final overthrow of
a party that has ever resisted all reform in every de-
partment of the Church and State. The people of
England know well whether the Whigs or Tories
are their best friends, and come a general election
when it may, they will not be backward in recording
their sentiments.

The publication of correct lists of divisions in the
House of Commons will do more towards effecting a
thorough reform in that branch of the Legislature
than the most sanguine supporters of such a course
can anticipate ; and we are glad to add another
to the many testimonies we have borne of the
desire of the House itself to expose its con-
duct to the country. The vote of the Commons
last night on this very important question, ought
to satisfy every rational mind that the majority of the
representatives of the people seek no concealment of
their proceedings in Parliament.
_ Sir ROBERT PEEL opposed the motion of the Hon.
Member for St. Albans, who had moved the adoption
of the report of a Select Committee, approving the
publication of the votes. The Ex-Minister thought
it exceedingly wrong that Members of that House
should be prevented, by a fear of public clamour, from
voting as they pleased. He would prefer leaving each
Member to settle the fact of his voting one way or
other with his own conscience ;. and when called upon
by his constituents, to render to them, and them only,
an account of the way in which he performed his
legislative duties. Sir ROBERT, when he addressed
the House in this fashion, seems to have forgotten
that the days are gone by when the country will be
deluded by a club-house and lobby-loitering attend-
ance in Parliament. We know very well how it was
in times past. We know right well how these things
were managed, in the " high and palmy" days of Sir
ROBERT himself. Members then were too import-
tant personages to sit out a debate, unless at the
particular request of a Minister, and often then
only to blind their constituents by speaking one way
and voting another ; knowing that the liberal speech
could never be contrasted with the illiberal vote. We
believe the first Member of the House of Commons,
who succeeded in making out lists of divisions on im-
portant questions, was Mr. HuME. This, like the
publication of the debates, is at present a breach of
privilege ; but the House found that it would be dan-
gerous to assert a privilege which it could not
maintain without coming in collision with the
country. But why should the people be longer
kept in ignorance of the way in which the power
conferred by them, and for them, is exercised ?
We do not choose to embroil ourselves in a dispute with
Members of Parliament ; but we believe there is more
than two or three who make a point of contradicting

the published lists, as regards their votes, through the
press, some days after their appearance, not because
they were misrepresented, but because the acknow-
ledged incorrections that occasionally occur, furnish the
means of getting rid of many prospective annoyances
out of doors, and especially on the hustings.
The abolition of the old system of private voting
will put an end to the jobbing in the House of
Commons. Formerly, Members of Parliament had no
interest but their own to look to—no power but that
approved of by themselves to fear—and, as a matter
of course, only themselves to satisfy. The people
were mere mere playthings, to be flung aside at plea-
sure. The House met when it pleased the Minister ;
said whatever pleased the Sovereign, and did what-
ever pleased itself. Laws were made which were

only heard of in their despotic operation ; taxes
imposed first heralded by the collector ; and offices
were created and filled, of which the first announce-
ment was the signature to some public document.
Sir ROBERT PEEL has fears that the country would
not be able to understand the tendency of the votes of
Members of the House of Commons. It is un-
doubtedly desirable that a glossary of the language of
Parliament should be published ; but we are greatly
mistaken, if there be a man in the United Kingdom
who would fail to understand that absence from divisions
is no sign of close attendance ; that declining to
vote is no proof of extraordinary zeal, or love of prin-
ciple ; and that the publication of forty names, for and
against a measure, is not the way to satisfy the coun-
try that Parliament is watching over the interests of
the people. Besides, the publication of the votes of
any Member is not a matter which only concerns his
individual constituents. His votes affected the interest
of a whole nation ; he took his seat in Parliament as
the Representative of the Commoners of the United
Kingdom ; and to all ought lie to be made responsible
for his public conduct.

A respectable Morning Contemporary seems ap-
prehensive of Lord LANSDOWNE being proposed'
as the head of a new Government. Such a
thing is not at all probable ; Lord LANSDOWNE is an
excellent man and a good speaker, but he is too modest
and unassuming a person to think of filling such an
arduous post in times like these. We answer our
contemporary, that his apprehensions are perfectly
groundless.

It gives us much pleasure to announce that the
Tory meeting in Berwickshire, at which the Earl of
HOME presided, to address the Crown against the
Commission for inquiring into the Revenues of the
Irish Church, has been most signally defeated.
Counter resolutions having been proposed expressive
of entire confidence in Lord GREY, and carried by a
large majority. Lord Provost SPITTAL, of Edin-
burgh, has performed good service on this occasion.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT,

THIS DAY, WEDNESDAY, JULY 9.

HO USE OF COMMONS.

The SPEAKER took the Chair at twenty minutes past 12 o'clock.

Upon the motion of Mr. FIT Z SIMON, the Kingstown Im-
provement Bill was read a third time, and passed.
Mr. F. POLL OCK presented a petition from the parish of
Godmanchester, in Huntingdon, in support of the Church.
Mr. W. DUGD ALE presented a petition from Birming-
ham, in favour of the alterations in the Beer Bill.
Mr. B YNG presented a petition from Kensington, in sup-
port of the Church ; and a similar petition from the parish of
St. James.
Mr. PLUMPTRE presented a petition ,from the Rector
and inhabitants of Winchelsea, in Suffolk, in support of the
Church ; and similar petitions from St. Dunstan's, near Can-
terbury, St. Mary, Lambeth, and from Nettleby ; also a peti-
tion from Brighton, upon the subject of the petition cf Capt.
Achieson, and praying that he might be restored to his rank in
the army ; and a petition from Fulney, in the West Riding of
Yorkshire, to the same effect ; and a similar petition from

Exeter.
BANKRUPTCY (SCOTLAND) BILL.

Mr. EWING presented two petitions in favour of the
Bankruptcy (Scotland) Bill, from the Chamber of Commerce
in Glasgow, and from certain merchants of the same town.
Colonel LEITH HkY presented a petition from the
Provost and TOwn Council of the burgh of Banff, in favour
of the same Bill.

Sir W. RAE presented a petition from the Dean and Fa-
culty of Advocates of Scotland, praying that the Bill might be
postponed till next session, in order that its provisions might
be more fully discussed and understood. He thought that
these petitions did not ask too much, considering that the Bill
made so many and such important alterations in the laws of
Scotland.

The LORD ADVOCATE said that no one could enter-
tain a higher respect for the opinion of the bar of Scotland
than he did, but it unfortunately happened that those gentle-
men, whose opinion and aid would be of the greatest use in
such a measure as the present, were, during the course of the
session, unable to devote their time to the consideration of the
matter; and then, when the period of vacation came, they said
let it be postponed till next session. Now this was the time
when those Learned Gentlemen were disengaged, and he
hoped they would have their aid and assistance in pointing
out the defects of the Bill, and amending it. This Bill had
been, however, delayed too long ; the people of Scotland were
daily sending petitions to demand it, and he hoped these peti-
tions would be attended to.
Lord R. STEWART expressed a hope that the Bill would
be pressed forward this session, as the people of Scotland were
extremely anxious for it.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that, in his opinion,
the Bill was a most salutary one ; and he hoped also it would
pass this session through that House.
Mr. WALL ACE said that this Bill was a question between
the people and the Advocates of Scotland. The people
anxiously desired this Bill, while the Advocates, who were in-
terested in throwing it out, petitioned against it. He hoped
the cause of the people would prevail.
Sir G. MURRAY supported the prayer of the petition.
Mr. EWING said this Bill had the entire approbation of
the mercantile portion of the people of Scotland.
After a few words from Colonel GORDON, the petition
was referred to the Committee on the Bill.
Colonel LEITH HAY presented a petition from Elgin, in
favour of the Bill ; also a petition from Newlands, in Peebles-
shire, in support of the Established Church.
Mr. WALL ACE presented a petition from Greenock,
praying for the repeal of the Corn Laws, and a petition
from the same place against the impressment of seamen ; a
petition from the same place in favour of the Dorchester
Unionists, another in favour of the alteration in the Game
Laws, and a petition from certain electors of Kilmarnock, in
favour of the Vote by Ballot.
Sir E. KNATC HBULL presented a petition from Chat-
ham andvarious other places in the county of Kent, in support
of the Established Church.
Mr. H. PELHAM presented a petition from Overton and
other places, in support of the Church ; and from a Dissenting
congregation in Devonshire, in favour of the Admission of
Dissenters Bill.
Mr. MILDMAY presented petitions from Wisbeach and
various other places, in support of the Church.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL presented a petition from
the Solicitors of Scotland against the AnnuityTax,also a petition
from the shawl weavers of Edinburgh, praying for relief, and that
the reciprocity ditties might be carried into full effect ; also a pe-
tion from the schoolmasters of St. Andrews, praying for an
increase in their salaries ; and a petition from the same indi-
viduals in favour of the Church ; and a petition from his old
constituents of Dudley—( A laugh)—with 5,000 signatures,
against the Friendly Societies' Bill ; and a petition from the
retail beer sellers of the same place, against the alterations in
the Beer Bill.
Sir W. RAE supported the petitions from the solicitors of
Scotland, as also that relative to the protection of the Estab-
lished Church.

After a few observations from Mr. Gillon, Mr. C. Bruce,
and Colonel Gordon, the petitions were laid on the table.
Mr. WILK S presented several petitions against the New
Beer Bill, from New and Old Sleaford ; from Cambridge,
and from other places in the county of Chester, and the
neighbourhood of Manchester ; also a petition from New
Broad-street Chapel, in the City of London, against the
Church Rate Bill ; also a similar petition from Dr. Bennett,
of Silver-street Chapel.
Mr. HERBERT presented one hundred and fifteen peti-
tions from parishes in Wiltshire, praying that the House
would adopt no measures for the separation of Church
and State.
It being three o'clock, the SPEAKER left the chair.

The Prince and Princess Lieven are making their
anal arrangements for quitting England. They embark on
board a Government steamer for Hamburgh, on the 16th inst.,
after a residence here of twenty years.

The recent accession to the Stamp duties arises not
from any increase in the legitimate source of that branch of
the revenue, but from the mileage duties paid by the nume-
rous stage-coaches and omnibuses, and from the revenues which
were formerly under the charge of the Hackney-coach Office
in Essex-street having been transferred to Somerset House.

The society of pigeon-fanciers at Louvain sent last
year to Paris 24 pigeons, 22 of which returned, and of that
number Mx reached Louvain in less than four hours and a
half. This society recently sent to London (an extremely
difficult flight) 45 pigeons, which were let fly at 8 in the
morning of the 26th ult. ; six returned to Louvain in the
course of the same day. Upon this occasion, three gold me-
dals and five silver ones were distributed. The first medal
was given to the owner of the pigeon which returned at 2
in the afternoon. The other returns were as follow :-1
minute after 2, 17 minutes after 4, 19 minutes after 4, 5.5
minutes after 4, and 5.--French Paper.

EAST INDIA HOUSE.-(THIS DAY.)

A special general Court of the Proprietors of India Stock
was held this morning, for the purpose of having the case
which was laid before Counsel, and his opinion thereupon,
relative to the power of the Court to grant pensions above
600/. under the new Charter, laid before them.
At twelve o'clock H. St. G. LUCIIER, Esq., took the Chair,
when the case and opinion were read by the Secretary.
The case, after citing all the Acts regulating the Company
put the question, " Whether a grant, pension, or gratuity to
the amount of 600/. or upwards, made by the Court of
Directors, and approved of by the Board of Control,
was valid, it not having been submitted to the consideration of
the Court of Proprietors. Mr. Sergeant Spankie's opinion,
which was dated 24th June, stated that, in his opinion it was
so, under the 7th section of the new Act. The compensations
now to be granted under it were on a very different footing
to those previous to the passing of the Act. They were
granted in the nature of compensations for just and moral
considerations. He also further stated his opinion that the
powers of the Court of Proprietors were not inter-
fered with, further than was compatible with the powers of
the Court of Directors as the organ of the Company—they
could still bring forward any question of the kind, and fully

discuss it at a general meeting.
Mr. WEEDON then rose and said it was with great regret
that he had felt it his duty to bring forward the question of
what privileges that Court enjoyed, at the very first meeting
after the new Act came into operation. A great mistake had
been committed, and as he was well aware the worthy Chair-
man hadnothing so deeply at heart as the welfare of the India
Company, he trusted that he, along with his colleagues,
would that day come forward and join those on the other side
of the bar in order to have it rectified. The opinion of their
worthy and Learned Counsel which had just been read, Was
not at all satisfactory to him—neither did he think the age
that had been laid before him was full enough. Their
solicitor had made a very material omission, in not having
stated in it that it was a fact that upon all former occa-
sions the Court of Directors had considered it their duty
to submit any grant they intended to make to that court, even
before they thought of sending it to the Board of Control.
The opinion was clearly at variance with the case that had
been laid before the counsel, as was plain to him, though he
was not a learned man. It was also contrary to all former
practice, and to the express words of the charter. It said
that the Directors were to act according to the bye-laws. He
would, however, cite some instances which would clearly
prove the position he had taken up. In 1819, when the Com-
pany abolished the office of General-Assistant Warehouse.
keeper, the Directors intended to make up his pension to 10001. F
but before even taking any step in the matter, they came to that
Court and submitted it in the shape of a motion. Again,
before the addition was made to the salaries of the Judges in
India, before it was even hinted to the Board of Control, a
vote of that Court was taken upon the subject,-40
fact, there was not an instance on the other hand to bring forward.
And would the Learned Counsel, or any other gentleman behind
the bar venture to say that these grants were not for just and
and moral considerations, or what grant had the India Com-
pany made for other considerations. Let him, howeverLdraer, '
their attention to a solemn resolution come to in that Court,
on the 3d of May, 1833, after seven days debate, and decided
by a ballot, when nine to one voted for it. It declared that
the Company would give up their assets alone, upon the con•
dition that they were to hare a sufficient power over the com-
mercial and other assets as to defray any and all charges for
compensation to their commercial officers Could any 11101 '
say that that condition had been complied with—or might he
not say that having been broken, the company had a perfect
right to re-open their trade with China. Their Bond Wee
unsealed.

It is said that an action is about to be instituted
against the Minister of the Interior by Madame Letitia Buorol
parte, the Emperor's mother, and by the brothers and sister 0,
the latter, in the name of the heirs of the late Princess no;
line, their sister and daughter. They claim the sum
1,518,052 francs, the amount of arrears of three dividends du
to the Princess before the law of the 12th of January, 1816
which pronounced the expulsion of the Buonaparte family frees
Paris. The plaintiffs contend that this law not being retro'
active, the arrears could not be confiscated by virtue of it'

TOKEN FLOWERS.—The few leisure hours which
the votaries of fashion can obtain from the gaities of a Loud°
season have this year been devoted to the acquirement of 6
new and very ingenious kind of amusement ; we allude to the
art of conversing and corresponding by means of flowers ; t$
the jasmine, the helistrophe, the scented honeysuckle, invert°
tulip, twine them together with the ivy, and in lieu of Pre'
senting an unmeaning nosegay, you are offering a delical
compliment, spoken, 'tis true, in perfumed silence, but we,.
understood by the initiated. To attain a knowledge of tiT
simple language, we refer our readers to the little book lately
published, entitled The Language of Flowers, with coloure

plates.
IRON VESSEL.—There is now making at tlie
steam engine boiler manufactory of Mr. John Harrison, losti
St. Mary's Bridge, in this town, perhaps the largest Yes°

The dimentions are as follows :—Diameter, 47 feet ; dept-
feet 3 inches ; weight, between 50 and 60 tons. It will el
tain 218,947 imperial gallons, or 980 tons of water, which s,
be a pressure on the bottom of 881bs. on the square inch'

A PUZZLING QUESTION.—In the time of Lord,
George Gordon's riot, the magistrates were not, as 120Vh
fessional gentlemen, but unlettered natives, exerting tbr4
selves as little as need be, and that only on the days when UV,
were obliged to do so. It was on a Tuesday night that ago
stable, rushing into the presence of one of those wortiio
panted forth, Pleaze yur worship the mob ha set the Gatb
chapple a vire, what shall us do ?" "Do I" repeated his Or,
rior, " why, if it had happened isterday, while we Woreo
zittin, I'd a told ee—but, as tiz' " he added, scratching
head, " I'll—l'll caal a Haal o' Mundee."

THE LATE LADY MACKENZIE OF GAIRLO-

—A gentleman who has recently been visiting the picture 10
shores of the North Highlands informs us, that he was lotii
struck with the deep and universal feeling of melaotts
which was spread over the country by the death of the 03.
Lady Mackenzie of Gairloch. This amiable and ace •p(
plished English lady died on the 11th of May, after gov•or
birth to a still-born son. In the midst of those remote
litudes, where, though the scenery is wild, rugged, ri%
precipitous, the climate is soft and mild, and among Ala)
pie faithful. people, Lady Mackenzie was received Al
great kindness, hospitality, and devotedness. Her 81100, ;

A few months only have clawed, since a correspondent
nounced in our columns the kind and charitable deeds of to
Mackenzie during her residence at Gairloch, in terms o'o
however just, her unassuming and shrinking delicacy, id

behalf of the Infant Schools, her youth, beauty, and pieol
is impossible not to be impressed with the uncertainty off,el
or to refrain from dropping a tear of sympathy over the 050
of one whose loss is not only a bereavement to her relativetd
to the country which she had adopted as her own. The follo4
of Lady Mackenzie called forth the warm and noble fOefot
of the people. Though distant above seventy raiLrelle

ranged in companies, the tenantry formed with almost tol'lo°
precision around the body, followed by a body of child
in number, being scholars who had lost their generetl:gefri:
