IMPORTANT NEWS.

(From the York Courant.)
We have just heard from most respectable authority, that
the general aspect of the Election Returns has already so for
alarmed the Tory Administration, as to have effected a chalet
in the mind of his Majesty relative to the future Ministerial
arrangements. -
A certain Roble lord, high in the Cabinet, is said to bare
been commissioned by the King to wait upon Earl Grey, ani
to express the Royal wish that his Lordship should imme-
diately resume office, and act in unison with the wishes of the
people.
This message was delivered to Earl Grey, and we are too
that the answer given was, that, though feeling highly gat"
tered by the confidence of the King, the Noble Earl woo"
never again enter into office, unless with a carte blanche as i°
every arrangement connected with the Cabinet.
A second message to the Noble Earl is, therefore, fully ex-
pected, and that, no doubt, will be in full accordance with hi'
Lordship's manly declaration.

John Davidts, Esq., surgeon, examined.—Attended 5,1
first mortent examination. Found a rupture of a blood-fe.,o
on the brain ; there was no external mark on the head to ee,
such ; it was a mere congestion, and congestion might pro ,fit,
all the symptoms of an actual rupture. That rupture co,

have taken place subsequently ; and if it took place at the t
he might not have recovered as he did. A rupture could PI
have taken place by a blow or fall without leaving a mark;
attribute congestion of the brain to a great excess of drinlils so
and that the rupture of the blood-vessel was subsequen
the fall, and owing to the congestion.
Other evidence was adduced, after which a verdict was xi.
turned—" That deceased on the 13th inst. was greatly i°,,toth,
