RESIGNATION OF THE
MINISTRY.

MEETING OF MEMBERS OF

PARLI AMEN T.-(THIS DAY.)

A meeting of Members of Parliament, suppor-
ters of the present Government, took place to-day
at Downing-street. About 160 were present.
Lord John Russell addressed the meeting. He told
them that if Mr. Hutt's motion for this evening,
relative to the slave-trade, were carried, he would
certainly resign the office he held.
_ _

Mr. Hume did not see the necessity of Lord
John Russell giving up office, even if Mr. Hutt car-
ried his motion.

Lord Palmerston repeated what Lord John Russe
had stated as the course he should himself follow.

Lord Harry Vane and Mr. E. Denison both spoke
in favour of Mr. Hutt's motion.

The meeting then separated, the general feeling
being that it would form matter of grate :considera-
tion how to vote on this occasion.

CHRIST'S HOSPITAL.—Her Majesty has given her
presentation to Christ's Hospital to a son of the brave
and lamented Brigadier
.Pennycuick, who fell, with
another of his sons, at the head of his regiment, on the
fatal field of Chillianwallah. Prince Albert has givers
his presentation to a son of the Rev. Mr. Ward, of Ten-
terden, who marriel the daughter of Lord Nelson.
THE WEATHER. —During the week which has
elapsed since our last the weather has been generally
fine and seasonable. On Tuesday the skies were bril-
liant and the fields were bathed in sunshine, whilst

from the north-west a breeze, brisk and exhilarating,
swept delightfully over the gloomy town. Subsequently,
however, the wind went round slightly towards the east,
and the atmosphere became dull and chilly. Daring
the early hours of the morning, indeed, the frosty breath
of winter ruled again, but at midday the heat became
almost oppressive. From the agricultural districts, how-
ever, in almost all quarters, we continue to receive ac-
counts of an agreeable character; and it is observed
that a more auspicious seed time has scarcely been ex-
perienced for some years put. The operations of
ploughing, harrowing, sowing corn and epriug wheat,
and planting potatoes are accordingly proceeding
briskly ; and the labours of the early morn are ia some
quarters cheered by the notes cf the lark and the
thrush. Yesterday was superb. Daylight broke in rosy
resplendent beauty; and throughout the unclouded
heavens shone brilliantly. The atmosphere, under
she breath of a keen breeze from the S.E., was de-
lightfully pure rand pleasant.—Liverpool Albion of yes-
terday.
CATHERINE HAYES. The departure of Miss
Hayes from Limerick on Wednesday exhibited a scene,
of tumultuous excitement never exceeded in that laity.
The hotel was surrounded from an early hour with
crowds anxious to do homage to their fair fellow-citizen;
and it was with difficulty she was able to proceed to the
carriage in welting to convey her to the rails ay termi-
nus. Husidreds of the poor, to whom she gave liberal
charity, blessed her as she departed; and amid the fare-
t 11 salutations of large groups of ladies anti gentlemen,
the letter uncovered in her honour, she at length drove
ae ay, bring offtcted almost to tears by the enthusiastic
favours hesp,d upon her. At the railway terminus
another scene took place. Hundreds here too were
esaitirig to take their leave of this charming vocalist,
end not the least fervent, in their heart-uttered faret ells
were crowds of poor emigrants, among whom money
was lib rally distributed by Miss Hayes. Amid loud
cheers, and the waving of hats and handkerchiefs, the
train at length got in motion, and the amiable and
beautiful songstress departed. The pasty reached Cork

An elderly man, attired in the draw of a sailor, whose
name did not transpire, was charged before Mr. Jardine
with creating a disturbance in front of the shop of Mr.
Clarke, butcher, Long-acre.
The foreman of Mr. Clarke stated that for some time
past the prisoner had been in the hali t of coating to his
master's house and asking for Mary, the housemaid; the
young woman, however, would I ave nothing to do with
him, anti to he revenged, he had more than once. written
to Mr. Clarke, traducing her character and accusing her
of having been discharged from her former situation for
theft-, and of occasionally frequenting houses of ill-fame;
but Mr. Clarke, having satisfied himself that there was no
truth in the statements, threatened to give him into cus-
tody if he came again. This threat produced no effect
upon him, and ultimately the prisoner was handed over
to the custody of the police and sentenced to fourteen
days' imprisonment; but even this punishment did not
diminish the ardour of his passion, and yesterday he
presented himself again at Mr. Clarke's door, and began
stamping with his feet on the grating over the kitchen
window. He was reminded of his former fate, and told
to go away, but he refused to do so, and ho was there-
tore a second time placed under the care of the police.
His conduct appeared so strange and irrational, that
Mr. Clarke fancied he was not in his right senses,'and on
diet account he was anxious that he ;should not be pu-
nished this time.

ThQ police-ccnstable who had him in charge said he
hari been drinking.
lAr. JARDINE askel the prisoner what he was. The
prisoner replied that he was a ship carpenter.
Mr. JARDINE—WdI, what have you to say to this
charl;k•?

The prisoner said he had been grossly ill-used
both by Mary and Mr. Clarke. The, truth was Mary
had a shawl in pawn which she prized very much, and
unon which he had from time to time paid the interest.
Another twelvemonth was about expiring, when the in-
terest would again become due, and yesterday he went
to Mr. Clarke's to remind her of this. He saw her
washing in the kitchen, and he stamped his foot on the
grating to attract her attention, and she nodded to him.
lie then took a turn up the street„ fancying that she
would come cut to him; but finding that she did not
corns he wail“.d by the shop again, when Mary opened
one of the bedroom windows and threw a bucket of hot
wator over hi-r, which scalded his fact and saturated him
to the very skin.
Mr. JARDINE—But you have been -told that you must
not go to this place.
The prisoner—lib, your Worship, how can I stop away
when I have been so shamefully used? I respects this
young woman, indeed I does; but since she has been at
this place she treats me with contempt. Before she had
got it I pawned everything for her. but I did not com-
plain, because she promised to get my tools out again
and marry me directly she had saved up enough money.
Since she has been at Mr. Clarke's this foreman has
robbed me of her affections. She has taken up with
him, and they goes gallivanting about together. She is
now a bad woman, and in return for my kindness in
keeping her while out of place, she and her sister ap-
pointed to meet me one day, and when they came they
brought some fellows with them, who knocked me down
upon some paving-stones and inflicted such injuries upon
me that I hare been ruptured ever since.

Mr. JARDINE told him that he had no business to go
after the young woman, as she wanted to have nothing
to do with him. A man at his time, of life ought to know
better.

The prisoner—I have two motherless children to take
care of.

Mr. JARDINE said that had no-thing to do with the
case. As the complainant did not w=ish to punish him this
time, ho should let him go, but with this warning, that if
he repeated his conduct, or wrote any more letters, he
would be sent to gaol, not for fourteen days but for six
months.

The prisoner, who bad been snivelling and crying
during the whole examination, was then discharged.

MARLBRO'-STREET.(THIS DAY.)
STEALING A GOLD WATCII.-2l2ary Churchill was
brought before Mr. Bingham for final examination,
charged with having stolen a gold watch and chain,
value 201., the property of Mr..Aicide Leroy, a French
gentleman, staying at the Prince .of Wales Hotel, Lei..
ceEtrr-place, Leicester-square.
The evidence adduced went 0 show, that on last
Saturday week the prosecutor snot the prisoner, and
accompanied her to a house in Leiontcr-square. While
h© was there he lost his watch and chain, and as the
prisoner was the only person with -whom he had been, he
telt convinced that she had stolen the watch, and he ac-
cordingly- sent for a constable and gave her in
charge. The prisoner was searched at the station
by a woman kept for that purpose, but tlk-

watch could not be found. Since the last examination
Mr. Bingham has received a letter from a woman who
was confined in the same cell with the prisoner, wherein
the writer states that, previous to the arrival of the
van which was to convey them to prison, the sister of
Churchill had an interview with her, and that she (the
writer) distinctly saw Churchill take the watch from
some part of her person and hand it through the bars to
her sister, who immediately left the place.
Police-constable Gray, of the C division, stated that
he had made every effort to trace the watch, but without
success.
