The new Ministerial arrangements form the topic of
a great deal of unnecessary comment. Those that have
already taken place. and those about to take place, are
equally animadverted upon by one party, and advo-
cated by another. The Cabinet. however, proceeds in
the even tenor of its way ; and brings out its appoint-
ments and re-appointments withoot any body being'
previously the wiser. The Earl of ROSSLYII is now
Keeper of the Privy Seal ; Colonel Timor is Lieute.

rant General of the Ordnance; Sir JAmss Scaatarr
is re-appointed Attorney General; and Sir N. TINDAL
is Chief Justice of the Common Pleas.
A Petition from Mr. oVosjnntisilk manufacturer, of
Milk•street, was presented last night in the House of
Commons by Mr. Wain, and led to an interesting die-
cussion upon the subject of the disturbances in Spital-1

fields. The speech of Mr. Pait on this occasion, at the
same time that it clearly shows the weavers to be com-
pletely in the wrong, affords the prospect of a speedy
termination of the outrages that disgrace the vicinity of
this city. Mr. Past, by the evidence of the Petition,
showed that the workmen were earning from 20s. to
3,51. a week—none under 15s. and 18s. and he took
that opportunity of saying that they have been con.'
ducting themselves in the most shameful manner.—
If they supposed that they could, by their present
misconduct, carry their object, or promote their
owls interests, they would find themselves most
miserably mistaken; they would involve themselves,
their families, and the whole district in one com-
mie ruin. Mr. Past then announced that yester-
day be directed seventy nine of the Police to be sent
into the disturbed district of Sipitalfields, to enable the
Magistrates to enforce the law; and in case of that

proviag insufficient. ha hkewita addressed a letter to
the Commanding Officer at the Tower to furnish Mili-
tary aid if it should be necessary. This he hoped would

uot prove to be the case; but, at all events. the law
must be enforced. In the meantime. we lament to
say. that the destructive system of cutting the work in
the looms continues. if that is possible, with increased
violence. Monday night last, no less than the works

of eleven looms were entirely destroyed.
Mr. Faaouson presented a Petition last night in the
House of Commons, praying for the continuance of the
bounties no ibe Herring Fisheries of Scotland, which
expire in Apt/Wiest. Mr. Holmium' was averse to
the continuance of bounties; and Mr. YURI Fax-
canars said that he could hold out no expectation
that they would be mewed. If the Petitioners had
any thing to suggest for the benefit of the fi.heries, it
stust.be of a different nitore from bounties—a sugges-
tion irhicli was against the principle adopted by Perlis-

.. _.

' meat for carrying on the trade of the country. We
regret to find that this is the present deterMisatios of
Ministers, and hope that they will be induced• to depart
from it in this- case. In 1827, there were neatly
500,000 men employed in these fisheries on the coasts, to
which were added 50,000 sailors employed ip the deep-
sea fisheries, and in conveying the herriags io.dissant
parts of the world. Now, as it is notorious, that these
persons are uot possessed of capital to carry on the
fisheries on their own account, it is much to be dreaded,
that to withdraw the bounties would not only reduce
the poor industrious fishermen to the deepest distress,
but would ultimately prove ruinous to the trade itself
in this country. At present, out fishermen have enough
to do to compete with the Dutch and Norwegians:—
were the bounties withdrawn they would be no matches
for them. Mr. BRIGHT doubts much, whether the
application of the principles of free-trade to our
fisheries would prove beneficial.

From the complexion of the debate last night on the'
ancient topic of Parliamentary Reform, we have a dig.
tent glimpse of the probability of this great question
being agitated in downright earnest. The Marquis of
BLANDFORD brought the subject under the notice of
the House of Commons in a speech of great ability—
his object being the extinction of close and decayed
boroughs, and to transfer their representations to places
of greater importance: I' Can there be any thing more
monstrous, Sir, than that seven electors, headed by the
parish constable (I allude to Gatton), should send two
Honourable Members to Parliament, and that two
more should represent the interesting ruins and well-
peopled sheep-folds of Sarum r The Noble Marquis
then proceeded to show that, according to a calcula-
tion taken in 1315, one half of . the English and
Welsh Representatives were returned by about 11,000
persons, and the other half by above aiae salons f In
reply to the Marquis of BLAND7OIIIi, we have to direct
particular attention to what fell from Mr. Parc. He
.said that consideringthe nature of the subject, all must
agree that it ought not to be brought forward when
there was no time for deliberation, when the House was
thin, and when it would have no opportunity of fol.
lowing up the motion by any practical measure. By a
negative at preient, the measure would not be lost—
for Lord JOHN Roseau, had given notice of 's motion
for the next Session, that the towns of Manchester,
Birmingham, and Leeds, should be represented in
that House. It was, he said, ,4 hardly hvatisig the
subject with due consideration" to introduce' it at
such a period of the Session. Mr. O'NEILL and Mr.
J. C. Honuouss took part in this interesting debate;
and Mr. W. Smut was glad to find that a late great
event bad bad the effect of turning the highest Tories of
the land into something like Radical Reformers I In
the meantime the Marquis of BLANDIPOID'S motion for
entertaining the question was lost by a majority of '74;
there being 40 for, and 114 against, it. Mr. FANS
moved that a new writ be issued for the election of two
Represehtatives for the borough of East Retford. No-
thing novel occurred in this debate; and the motion
was lost by a majority of 195 to 44.

The Ifgatuitar Zaftig received this day does not costal' a
single uNcle of intelligence from soy part of t►e theatre of war;
but letters front Vienna to the 93d May, throw discredit ow the
reports lately la circulation as the defeat of the Russians.

By his Majesty's brig Rinaldo, Halifax Papers bare bees re-

44 The Spring thaws, assisted by frequent rains, have occasioned a
lamentable destruction of property in New Brunswick, the swollen
rivers having carried away mills, bridges. and rafts of timber, the
teaks and toils of years ; and which has caused, in a few days, rain
to many who were in good and easy circumstances."

Yesterday afternoon, as the maid servant of Mrs.
Bartlett, pawnbroker, of Cromer street, Brunswick
square, was preparing a mixture of turpentine and bens'
wax on the kitchen fire, the vessel in which the hips.
clients were boiled over, and the flames communicated
with her clothes. She ran into the street. and perms
passing by made every exertion to remove her e
which were in one entire blaze. The unfortunate

parts of her body. She was conveyed to Middleeria
