LONDON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1851.

THE MINISTRY.

SUN OFFICE, Three o'Clock.

We were able to announce in our last Edition of
yesterday evening the fact which we had anticipated,
that Lord STANLEY was unable to form a Govern-
ment, and had given up the attempt. He resigned
the power which had been entrusted to him into the
hands of her MAJESTY, and, amidst the wailings
and lamentations of the Protectionist party, gave up
the ghost of a Ministry which may now, probably,
never again be heard of. Lord JOHN RUSSELL and
his late colleagues have this morning met in de-
liberation at Lansdowne House, and the result of
their deliberation, if sanctioned by the QUEEN,
will be announced in both Houses of Parliament
this evening. We sincerely trust and be-
lieve that the result of the late crisis will
be of unmixed good to the whole Liberal
party. A Protectionist Government is now confes-
sedly out of the question. By a re-modelling
of the Budget a careful improvement of
the Popery Bill a show of onwardness
on the part of the Government—and by more seal,
more temper, and less personal rancour among the
Radicals and movement party, the cause of liberty,
of free trade, and of progression, will be served and
secured.

The excitement at the Clubs last night exceeded
anything we have ever seen. The Carlton and
White's, Brookes' and the Reform, were crowded,
and as news arrived, or was concocted at each,
it was transmitted from the one to the
other with the utmost celerity. Lord WIL-
TON first announced Lord STANLEY'S abandon-
ment of office at White's. It was hardly credited
at the Carlton, and fell like a shot in the camp—but
it was too true !

ALLEGED STARVATION OF I WIFE BY HER HVg-
lIAND.--A rumour was extensively spread in Bath on Tues-
day aft.rnoon, that a woman named Harriet Sparing, living
in Sams's-court, Bathwick, had died of starvation from the
neglect of her husbaud. Inspector Goldsworthy, of the
police force, immediately proceeded to investigate into the
truth of the report, and found that she had been left for
days together without any toed or fuel. The husband, Wm.
Sparing, was a groom in the service of a gentleman resident
in the city, but since his wife's death and his conduct be-
came known, he has not been found. A coroner's inquest
was held upon the body yesterday, when from the medical
evidence it appeared that the unfortunate woman had long
suffered from destitution and neglect. The inquiry was ad-
journed.

It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the
different Established Companies have not been proportionate to the
amount of annual Premiums received by each.
It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers,
that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the
true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu-
rance Company is established.
The true rate of Premium for Fire Insurance can only be ap-
goached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto
been sufficiently acted n, or systematically applied.
Whatever be the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to
the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as
security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the Insurer
is largely interested in this ouestion, and will consult his Interest by
supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica-
tion and Aver ge, the Premium, will be proportioned to the risk.
The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant anal, sIA of its own
experience, from time to ti -e, adopt such rates of Premium as the
nature of the risk may Justify, and will decline to enter into arrange-
ments as regards tariffs with other offices.
With this view an annual inyestigalon will be made into each
class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fitty per cent. of the nett
excess will be mode to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have
been in force for three years. . _ _

Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon
every description of Property on moderate terms.
Farming Stock insured at 3s per cent, without the Average Clause.

tion at the Office, or to any of its Agents.

LONDON, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1851.

THE MINISTRY.

SUN OFFICE, Three o'Cloch

We were able to announce in our last Edition of
yesterday evening the fact which we had anticipated,
that Lord STANLEY was unable to form a Govern-
ment, and bad given up the attempt. He resigned

the power which bad been entrusted to him into the
hands of her MAJzsrr, and, amidst the wailings
and lamentations of the Protectionist' party, gave up
the ghost of a Ministry-which , may now, probably,
never again be heard of. Lord JOHN RUSSELL and
his late colleagues have this morning met in de-
liberation at Lansdowne House, and the result of
their deliberation, if . sanctioned by the QUEEN,
will be announced in both Houses of Parliament
this evening. We sincerely trust and be-

lieve that the result of the late crisis will
be of unmixed good to the whole Liberal
party. A Protectionist Government is now confes-
sedly out of the question. By a re-modelling
of the Budget a careful improvement of
the Popery Bill a show of on wardness
on the part of the Government—and by more zeal,
more temper, and less personal rancour among the
Radicals and movement party, the cause of liberty,
of free trade, and of progression, will be served and
secured.

The excitement at the Clubs last night exceeded
anything we have ever seen. The Carlton and
White's, Brookes and the Reform, were crowded,
and as news arrived, or was concocted at each,
it was transmitted from the one to the
other with the utmost celerity. Lord WIL-
TON first announced Lord STANLEY'S abandon-
ment of office at White's. It was hardly credited
at the Carlton, and fell like a shot in the camp—but
it was too true !
London, England, 1851-02-28

ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.

The excitement which has prevailed in political
circles at the " West End" for the last few days, in
consequence of the unparalleled interregnum in the
constitutional government of the country, has been
followed by a lull to-day, owing to the abandonment
of Lord STA.NLET'S exertions to form an Administra-
tion. his Lordship's residence in St. James's-square,
hitherto a scene of continual bustle and excitement,
occasioned by the arrival and departure of numerous
members of the Protectionist body, now wears a quiet
and orderly appearance, and affords unmistakable
evidence of the abortive nature of his brief but active

campaign.
At the " Carlton" and " Reform" Clubs, however,
there is no diminution evinced in the anxiety to
catch at every rumour afloat, and to glean some intel-
ligence of "the last political movements." The general
impression appears to be that, since Lord STANLEY
has resigned the commission given to him by the
SOVEREIGN, an Administration formed by a coalition
of a portion of the late Government and several
members of the Peelite body is inevitable, but how
such an Administration is to be composed at present
is involved in impenetrable mystery. The state-
ment that the refusal of Mr. GLADSTONE
to join Lord STANLEY arose from a decided
objection to re-impose a protective duty of
ss. on corn is unfounded, as it is well known
his Lordship at the outset abandoned such an idea;
though it is possible, if he had come into power, he
would have proposed to relieve the agricultural in-
terest of a portion of their burdens. The real diffi-
culty in the way of Lord STANLEY, as well as in that

THE HUMAN HAIR.
ROWLANDS' MACASSAR' OIL is justly
renowned throughout the world for its remarkable virtues,
in nourishing, preserving, and beautifying the human hair. Its
operation in cases of baldness is peculiarly active; so that, in
numerous instances wherein other remedies have been tried in vain,
ROWLANDS' IsIACASSAR OIL has superseded the ornaments of
art, by effecting a complete restoration of beautiful hair. In the
growth of whiskers, eyebrows, and mustachios, it is also unfailing
in its stimulative operation. For children it is especially recom-
mended, as forming the basis of a beautiful head of hair, and
rendering the use of the fine comb unnecessary.
Price 3s. 6d. and 78. • or family bottles (equal to four small) at
10s. 6d.; and double that size, 21s.

CAUTION.—On the 'wrapper of each bottle of th• genuine article
are these words in two lines, "ROWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL."
The same are engraved on the back of the wrapper nearly 1,500

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

Intelligence from China reports the death, at Hong-Kong,
of Commander J. M. R. Ince (IM6), of the Pilot, 12. Com-
mander Ince was appointed to this ship November, 1849, on
the promotion of Captain Lyons. This is the third comman-
der's vacancy that has fallen to the patronage of the Admi-
ral since his appointment.
Commander Thomas Coakley (1340), on the retired list,
died on the Bth instant, aged 73. He entered the navy Ja-
nuary, 1798 ; was at the capture of Le Mentor, 14, privateer ;
was acting Lieutenant of the '1 emeraire in the battle of
Trafalgar ; and was in Lord Gambier's operations against Co-
penhagen, 1807, and at the reduction of St. Paul's, Isle de
Courbon.

Commander Soady (1822), lately retired from the service
of the Ordnance department, died last week in the 64th year
of his age. He entered the navy September, 1800, and served
afloat 19 years during the war. He was in Sir R. Calder's
action, was made a lieutenant in 1807, served in the defence
of Rosas and Cadiz, and was in the North American expedi-
tions. His last gallant service was at the battle of Algiers,
in the Nymphe, in which action, when the Captain and se-
nior Lieutenant had been placed hors de combat, he com-
manded the ship; notwithstanding, he was not promoted
until 1822. He held the appointment of Superintendent of
Shipping belonging to the Ordnance Department, from July,
1830.

IVOTTINGHAMSIIIRE ELECTION.

---
TO THE _EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sza,—llisraeli's minority, and the result of the South Notts
election, are evidences of the distressed state of the farmers.
Disraeli's motion also proVes how unable or unwillirg he is
to point out the real cause of the evil anything more wild
and visionary than Disraeli's remedies cannot be imagined.
Sir James Graham again puts his finger on the blot---" I
tell the country gentlemen that if they seek to operate
through the medium of the currency, they must go much
farther than the Bank Act of IS-14."
Will neither of these men speak out? Then the people
" out of doors" must make them. And this, with the diffi-
culties daily rising up in increased magnitude before one, it is
my humble but sincere endeavour to urge upon the people.
Many thanks for your continued and patriotic support of
our unpopular cause. It is advancing, it will prevail. But
what unnecessary accumulation of suffering, distress, and
ruin must this country go through before it can be brought to
see where the remedy is to be found!
A farmer naturally regards his landlord as the greatest
man in the county, and in ordinary times will do anything
for him. What pressure of distress, therefore, must there
have been to force the tenants to join the small freeholders
in this county in resisting the Dukes of Portland and New-
castle, the Earls of Chesterfield, Scarborough, and Manvers,
Lord Middleton (all very large landed proprietors), Earl
Howe, and nearly every county gentleman in the division,
sad to prevail!
I intend to try to batter down the bugbear of " Deprecia-
tion of the currency." We don't wish to injure the credit or
interest; it might be affected in some degree, but I believe
that all interests would ultimately be greatly benefited.

South Notts. Not at all—the Harrownial interest has pre-
vailed,
