SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock,

THE

NEW MINISTRY.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL has arrived in town.

Lord PALMERSTON has arrived, and several other
members of Lord MELBOURNE'S Ministry were also
expected in the course of the day, to consult with
his Lordship relative to the new Administration.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL has been actively engaged,
since his arrival in town this afternoon, in the
arrangements which the formation of his Ministry
render necessary.

Lord COTTENRAM had an interview with Lord
JOHN RUSSELL shortly after he arrived.
Sir D EMS LE MARCHANT, Secretary to the,Treasury
when the MELBOURNE Administration went out of
office, has been in constant communication with Lord
JOHN this afternoon. He is acting as confidential
amanuensis to the new Premier.

The opinion gains ground that no dissolution w:

take place until Lord JOHN finds obstruction to his
measures in the Commons, in which case an imme-
diate dissolution will follow.

The QUEEN returns to Windsor to-morrow, as we
announced yesterday.
Brookes' and the Reform Club are all alive, and
the mustering of Liberal Members in London is al-
ready great, whilst the Carlton and Conservative
Clubs, are gloomy, and all parties of Tories
grumbling at each other.

EXCHEQUER.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Nisi Prins, in London, before the LORD
CHIEF BARON and Common Juries.)
CHANCELLOR V SA.MBROOK.

This was an action on the case for injuries done to a
valuable horse, to which the defendant had pleaded not
guilty.
Mr. Knowles and Mr. James appeared for the plaintiff,
and Mr. Humfrey and Mr. Woolrych for the de-
fendant.

The plaintiff was the well-known" proprietor of
the omnibuses running between Brompton and the City,
and the defendant, a coal merchant, carrying on business
at the Arundel Wharf, Arundel-street. The transaction
which gave rise to the present action occurred on the 24th
of April last. About two o'clock on that day, one of the
plaintiff's omnibuses was travelling from the City towards
the West-end, and met with no interruption or accident
till it came to St. Clement's Church, in the Strand, when
the driver, observing that a waggon was coming up
Arundel-street, and intending to proceed in a contrary
direction, drew up close to the pavement immediately
opposite the Crown and Anchor in the Strand, to give
the waggon ample room to pass. The waggon, how-
ever, which was afterwards found to be the property of
the defendant, turned so sharply round the corner of
Arundel.etreet and the Strand, that the wheels grazed
the lamp-post, then ran against the pole of the omnibus,
and finally passed ever the hoof of the off horse draw-
ing the omnibus, inflicting injuries that ultimately re-
sulted in the death of the animal. It was to recover
damages for the loss the plaintiff had sustained by this
accident that the present action was brought.
Evidence having been adduced to prove these facts,
Mr. Humrazy addressed the jury for the defendant,
and afterw'ards called a number of witnesses to prove
that the accident would not have happened had the driver
of the omnibus exercised due and ordinary caution in the
conduct of his vehicle and horses.

The jury found a verdict for the defendant, on the
ground that the occurrence was an unavoidable accident.
