net altogether devoid of interest; although very little bu-
siness can possibly be expected to be done, in the present
posture of Cabinet affairs.
Lord Gloao E BILMESTORD presented a petition from a
town in the county of Waterford, praying for a re-
peal of the Union. The prayer of this petition was,
'of course, supported by Mr. O'Cow WELL, who thought
that the landowners of England ought to pray for a
repeal of the Union, inasmuch as it would atop that influx of
Irish labourers into this country, which operated so fatally
on the rate of wages paid to its poorer classes ; and which
was in its consequences productive of those various riots and
disturbances, which were now prevailing in so many of the
counties of England. The Learned Member for Waterford
contended, that every man of talent, independence, and
wealth—not merely in Dublin, but throughout all Ireland
—was anxious to obtain a repeal of the Union. This WAS
unequivocally denied, by several Hon. Members, among
whom we principally observed Sir J. NEWPORT, Mr.
Mooaz,andSL*A. CHICHESTER. Sir J. NEWPORT, upon
whose experience and practical knowledge, great faith must
be placed, maintained, that the repeal of the Union would be
attended with the most deplorable consequences to Ireland ;
and Mr. MOORE said, that he could not hear the honorable
and learned member for Waterford make such statements as
ho had ventured upon that evening, without giving that ho-
norable and learned member, the /Rost positive and the most
decided contradiction. The opinions which prevailed in
Ireland, with regard to the repeal of the Union, were, as
every body who was acquainted with Ireland must be aware,
directly the reverse of what the honorable and learned mem-
ber had represented tbem to be. Instead of the wealth, and
the respectability, and the talent of Ireland, being friendly
to a repeal of the Union, he would venture to say,—in the
presence of Irish members, and without fear of contradiction
from any but the honorable and learned member for Water-
ford,—that all the genuine commercial activity —all that
could be fairly included in the respectability, and all that
could be properly called the talent of Ireland—were loud in
expressions of disapprobation, against agitating such a
question, as the repeal of the legislative Union between the
two countries. The honorable member concluded an animat.
ing appeal, by urging every respectable member of the Irish
community, to lose no opportunity that might occur, of
expresing their decided disapprobation of agitating so hope-
less and mischievous a project, as the repeal of the legisla-
tive union. No other business of moment was gone through;
and no allusion was made, either to the resignation of the
Ministers, or to the formation of the new Cabinet. Neither
Sir ROBIRT PEEL nor Mr. BROUGHAM were in their
seats ; and after receiving several petitions on miscellaneous
subjects of minor importance, the House adjourned at Seven
o'Clock.

CITY, ONE O'CLOCK.
At length we have a list of the new Ministry, which is
supposed to be nearly correct ; but the appointment of Mr.
Brougham, as Lord Chancellor, is not credited in the city.
There is also another singular nomination—Lord Palmers-
ton, as Minister of Foreign Affairs. Upon the whole, the
new Administration is, in general, considered as composed of
men of talent, and of the old school ; moderate in their
principles, and will do the utmost in their power to assuage
the present distress of their country, by a strict persever-
ance in economy and reform.
The Funds this morning are not so good as yesterday, as
some fears are entertained of a Property Tax ; with too
much of the cutting down principle by the new Ministry a
in consequence of which, Consols, which left off yesterday
833, receded to 82i for the Account. At present they are
82f : for next time, 83.
In the Foreign Market little doing as yet.
Liv IA POOL, Nov. 18.—The arrivals of Cotton this week
have been but moderate, and pnrchaess are now made with
more confidence, after the decline which has taken place
these few days in prices. The demand since Saturday has
been very brisk, and sales have obtained, in most cases, Ith
of a penny per lb. in advance. On Monday the sales were
5,000. Tuesday 4,000, yesterday 4,000.
