CHANGE OF MINISTRY. •
.1110/4 Tun THU&
We have no fait to contimisnicater with regard to the.
iambs of the Administration. But still it is an act
hip eircumbtance, and we know must be most distress-
log to his Msjesty, that there should be no Ministry
when Parliament is on the eve of meeting, and all the
projects, meAsures, and accounts should be made out—
and, in truth, were made out—which should be sub-
mitted to its inspection. It is said, that the first direc-
tions to the Duke of Wellington in the formation of
the new Administration were, to preserve certain lead-
ing members of the old, of Whig or liberal prin:iples;
but that, from some unknown, instructions have been
since given, in which no such condition was inserted or
implied. Other reports are endless, and hardly deserve
repetition—as, that the great financial Minister, the
associate of Mr. Canning, was disposed to join the
enemies of his late friend.

FROM THI MORNING ADVIRTIIIIR.

Nothing has yet been officially announced on the all•
engrossing subject of the Ministly, nor is it expected
that any public abtification of the completion of the
arrangements will be made bail Wednesday. In the
meantime the manufacture of Cabinets proceeds as
vigorously as it did two days ago; and different names
are put forward for the principal offices in the Govern-
ment, as thehopes, and fears, and interests, of the parties,
who give them wing happen to preponderate.

1/10,1 THZ MORNING{ POST.
No e of the Ministerial Arrangements have yet for.
malty taken place, owing chiefly to the temporary
abyence of the Doke of Wellington from town, it
being a matter of indispensable courtesy on the past
of his Grace to receive the Infant Don Miguel at his
country seat, on the depasture of his Royal Highness
from England to Portugal. We have, however, the
happiness to know, that every thing continues to go
on so well and so satisfactory, that we have no doubt
of being able, in a day or two, to congratulate the
Public upon the complete formation of an Adusinistra-
tion that will not fail to .ff .rd unmixed satisfaction to
every true friend of the Constitution in Church and State.

lt is not true, we again fearlessly assert, that the
question of the Finance Committee was the only or real
cause of the event at which tie Public now so univer•
sally and sincerely rejoice. On the contrary, it was
mitcly a secondary and minor cause, and, there is eves,'
reasokto believe, was resorted to by the Whigs as an
artful Sobterfuge to cover their disgraceful retreat. As
we have beady seated, the great qutstion of War or
Peace had decided the Cabinet ; and the time had
come when a-weat inefficient Minister could no longer
hold the balance between contending principles. The
I time had also come when it was to be decided whether
Whig influence should predominate by Loyd Holland's
admission into the Cabinet, or whether the Whig Party
should be themselves ejected in disgrace. The propi-
tious result is known—eternal thanks to our gracious
Monarch, whose laudable conduct on this occasion is
now the universal theme of admiration and gratitude
throughout the land.

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, Witsomunirsa, Nov. 19.
Sittings at Nisi Pettis, in Tiltddlesez, after bikkaelasag Term, before
Lout Tomas= and Contston Juries.
ELMS E. SAUNDERS, ESQ.
This was an action against the Sheriff of Bucking-
hamshire, to recover the sum of 7141.nrider the follow-
ing circumstances—The plaintiff, a -widow, had carried
on the business of a currier in partnership with a man
named Burgess. In consideration of her giving up the
whole of her business to Burgess, he agreed to make
her a certain annual allowance, and, to secure its pay
ment, he gave her a bond and warrant of attorney to
enter up judgment. Burgess did not pay the allowance,
and the plaintiff entered up judgment on the warrant
of attorney, and sued out execution against Burgess's
goods. Tne Sheriff levied under the execution, and
afterwards. sold the goods by auction for 7141. which
sum the plaintiff re ,uired him to pay over to her, but
he (being indemnified by other parties) refused to do
so, and returned nrdla bona to the writ.
This was the case proved for the plaint.ff. By the
evidence for the defendant it appeared that Burgess had
become a bankrupt ; and the question was, whether the
act of bankruptcy bad been committed while the Sheriff
was in possession under the plaintiff's execution, and
,Irefote he bad sold the goods by auction. It appeared
that Burgess had been in embarrassed circumstances,
and that a few days before the execution issued, he
bad left his shop at four o'clock in the morning, and
returned about eleven, and ordered his horse and gig
to be instantly got ready. as he must be off. He accord-
inghl went away, and did not return till between nine
and ten o'clock in the evening. At this time there was
a writ out. against him. and the quest on was, whether
be went away to avoid an arrest, or had only gone to
attend to the business r‘f a farm which he had at Stoke,
about five miles from Eton, where he resided ?
The case went to the Jury under the directions of Lord
TENTERDEN. who told them that if a person committed
an act of b tnkriiptcy white the Sheriff was in possession,
and brlme lie had s,:id and paid over the money to if e
,eredit ir who sued out execution, the goods, or the
money, became the property of the 'assignees.
The Jury, being of opinion that Burgess's object in
going from home was to avoid arrest (which constituted
.an act tf bankruptcy) found for the defendant.

LIVERPOOL, soy. 49.

Come Atrium—Tuesday there were a number of country
millers at market, who; as well as our own dealers, bought to a
moderate extent of Wheat and Oats. This, added to a few specu-
lative purchases, enabled the importers (many of whom bad with-
drawn their samples) to obtain a small improvement on the pre.
wimps quotations; but the subsequent accounts oldie dull and over-
stocked state of the London market has induced the trade generally
to look for a reduction, and the transactions of the week have been
'on a very limited scale. At this morning's market the trade was
exceedingly dull; there is, however, little change in the quotations
of any grain, except Whet, which was offered at Id. to U. per
70Ib. below the rata of the previous Saturday.

CALCUTTA, 'AriuL 2s.

In consequence of the sickness and mortality which
have taken place of late years at Kaira, in Goozerat,
more particularly with reference to the European ticiops,
Government has resolved on relinquishing it .as, the
principal military station in those districts. The head-
quarters of the Northern Districts have therefore been
removed to Hursole, which has been selected, from the
general opinion entertained, regarding
.the salubrity of
the place, being most favourable. This place is fifty
miles N.E. of Kaira, the cantonments on the left bank
of the Meshwa river, a more advanced and centrieal
position, with reference to the most turbulent tract, oc-
cupied by the petty suites and Mehwassee proprietors
in the Myhee Kaunta.
We are informed, by letters received from Bombay,
of 20th April, that great sickness prevailed among the
crew on board his Majesty's ship Java. Nine men had
fallen victims to the violence of the disease (epidemic),
and others were so reduced from its effects as to render
their recovery extremely doubtful ; as a means, how-
ever, of contributing thereto, and checking its further
progress, his . Excellency the Admiral had determined
on proceeding forthwith to Trincomalee, and bad left
Bombay in consequence. The Java was also accom-
panied by the Cochin.
Through the same channel we are also informed that li
this dreadful scourge was milting great havoc among
the inhabitants, and causing the most serious alarm and
apprehension. No precaution appeared a sufficient'
guarantee against its attacks, nor were the most expe-
rienced practitioners at all times successful in their en-
deavours to check its violence and counteract its effects.
Calcutta has, at length, been refreshed by the wel-
come occurrence of northwesters. For several days
previously dark clouds had gathered in the west, to-
wards evening which promised the relief so much re-
quired, and on Saturday; about 7 P. K. after the usual
preliminary of thunder and lightning, we had a delightr
fel tall of rain. Yesterday alterobon, too, we had a
brisk shower, and the sent change in the
atmosphere will, no doubt, be great service- in abm-
ing the epidemic which has lately been so fatal among
the native population.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT—LANCASTER, MAacis 15.
SUOOTI NG A GAIIEKEEPIER.—Janes Asbloa was iQ

dieted for usly shooting .t Peter Luca., at
Ecclestba. with intent to murder him; in a second
count, to disable him. or to dis6gilie him ; in a third
count, to do him some grievous bodily harm; and in a
fourth count, to prevent his lawful apprehension.
Mr. BKOVINIAII stated the case. It was his duty
- shortly and plainly to state the circumstances of the
Case. The keepers of Lord S:fton being out on their
duty, heard some shof s fired in a preserve, which they I
knew to to not by gamek, epers. They thought it pru-
dent to send far astisiance, and then they separated
themselves into two parties. They- were without fire
. arrnsiand had no other defensive n capons than sticks. The
persons who were illegally out in pursuit 1,1 game were
met by the gamekeepers, and one of the latter, named
• . Peter Lucas, was shot in the breast, and the shot entered
various parts of the bodies of several of them. It was
right that he should state that Peter Lucas was then in
Lancaster, but he was in such a state of health as miVe
it dangerous to bring him into Court to give his testi
- away, which fact the Jury would hear hoe a Medical
Gentleman who was in attendance. He then called
• witnesses to prove the facts.
The prisoner said in his defence, "My Lord, I did
pot sboet,"
Mr. Justice BAILEY pointed out to the Jury the
. bearing of the evidence io support of the law applica•
hie to the case; if men went oat for one common illegal
purpose. they were all equally guilty; they would bete
to say whether these men went-out to kill game, and to
stand by each other let what might happen; if they
should be of that opinion, the men were acting unlaw-
• fully ; they would also consider, if they did rut go out
-together for an illegal purpose, whether or not that,
common purpose had ceased, they having left the pre
serve? but then the law was, that if they had killed'
game they were liable to to taken anywhere, and are
eliding to be so
-taken was a felpny.
the Jury retired for a short time, and on their return
pronounced the prisoner tirilly. •

Yet when dwoke by Beauty's melting smile, .
How richly then each tender chord will ring ?

The while o'er bletnnon's harp they trembling fell,

Hystan'd out departing splendour's WC farewell
Jut's° my wayward Harp—it pensive sighs,
Toueh'd by the parting glance of Beauty's mien;
Forth as she gots, in one sad strain it dies,
And only wakes to Ufe when she is seen!

Bettjantin Curtis was charged with bigamy. The prisoner was
married to his brat wife some years ago, but she stated that she was
compelled to leave him about five years since in consequence of his
ill treatment. Since that time she had obtained her living as a
laundress. She had, however, been greatly annoyed by the prisoner,
who was in the habit of coming to her house and abusing her, and
he also threatened to break her windows. Sbe had two children
by him.
Sarah Roley, the second wife, stated that she was married to
the prisoner on the 29th December, 1843. About six months ago
she discovered that his former wife was alive, and she therefore
quitted him, and went to service. He was, however, in the habit
•of coming to her tor money, which she was compelled to give him,
as she was afraid be would create a disturbance. She had two
children by the prisoner. Some further evidence being required to
establish the case against the prisoner, he was remanded.

which hoolked him with the ground. The moment he fell, two

GUILDHALL.

Thomas Suggioss, a drover, was charged with wantonly
ill-
treating a bullock, in Smithfield Market, on Monday.
Mr. John Cramp, a butcher, in Whitechapel, stated that at
eleven o'clock in the morning he saw the prisoner wantonly strike
a bullock over one of its hind legs, which it lifted front the
ground in excessive agony. The fellow then struck the other leg
in the same way, and the poor animal fell on its hams. He was
looking for an officer from that time until two o'clock, before he
succeeded in meeting one, and then he gave the prisoner into
custody. In fact, the City Officers were useless, for they would
walk no where but on the footways. To prevent the mass of
cruelty that was continually going on, the officers should be ordered
to walk down the middle of the drovers. where the salesmen are
obliged to walk. The loss to the butchers, from the unnecessary
cruelty of the drovers, was equal to a farthing per poumd on all
the meat; but taking it at an eighth of a penny, the loss in the'
year would be 60,000/. to say nothing of the sufferings of the
animals. All this might, and ought to be prevented.
Mr. Alderman Caowinta said he would submit the case to the
Police Committee; and would have fined the defendant, but Mr.
Cramp interfered on his behalf, and laid his wife was in an ad-
vanced state of pregnancy.

ciency of #26 14.. and the prisoner was remanded fur future ex-
amination.

THE FANCY.
Last night a strong muster of the Fancy assembled at Jack Ran.
dab's, to be prest•nt at the 4th deposit being madegood in the ma•
between Neal and Baldwin—Neal represented himself—Tom Cr]
put down the blunt for Bob. Betting was slow in confirmati
but offers were plenty--4 to 4on Neal was fiee!y offered—Xl
to £5O-45 to £3; but there were no takers—not that the feeling
was doubtful, but that the real sporting coterie were scarce.
Young Spring was in the room, and in his usual thoughtless man.
ner, challenged Tom Gaynor for £5O a-tide, and at the same time
placed £4 of his own money down. Gaynor, with praiseworthy
magnanimity, refused to take advantage of bins, and declined ,--
cepting the deposit, unless some one else would put down money
back the Conjuror. The forfeit of Spring's money was almost
tain, and the disinterested conduct of Gaynor brought down
warmestopprobation—even Spring was convinced of his error,+
coincided.—Jmnings paid forfeit to Jem Rayner.

LISBON PAPERS.

FROM THE 2MPARCIAL OF OPORTO, OF JANUARY 8.
AMERICA.—This part of the world occupies, at pre.
sent, the attention of all politicians—being the country
of gold, silver, and diamonds, which poured these me-
tals in such profusion into the lap of Europe, raked
some nations and depressed others. All the new States
are overburdened with an enormous foreign debt, and
their finances are in the greatest disorder ; but, to com-
plete their misery, there is not a single one but what is
distracted by internal consmolions and civil wars. This
arises from the circumstance of none of them having
previously possessed sufficient strength for constituting
itself an independent State, according to the statements
of their defenders and apologists.
The new Republics of Spanish America, present us
a melancholy picture. This is the situation of these
countries, which, a few years ago, even in the oppressed
state of Colonies, were rich and flourishing. The state
o f Jalisco (Guadalaxara) impolitically promulgated a

law lately enacting the expulsion of all ostise Spa.
niards—the .same thing that had been formerly prac-
tised at Buenos Ayres, and in other Republics. Ww
is it possible for them to prosper upder such injurious
measures ? If there be any Spaniards, whether na-
turalised or not, who disturb the State, let the rigour
of the law be **forced, but never publish so barbarous
and impolitic a law.
Brazils has likewise coati in for her share of misfor-
tunes, as well as the other States of America. Having
since 1821 contracted a foreign debt of forty millions
of cruzsdos, and one of a similar amount with its own
subjects, all its gold and silver disappeared from circn-
lation. It experienced civil wars, and if Don Pedro IV.
was not the Emperor of that country, it would, by now,
be already dismembered into small strips, torn by in-
ternal commotions, and a prey to foreign countries.
This ought to be considered by all Brazilians, who
should know how much they are indebted to the mag-
nanimous Sovereign whom the put at the head of their
affairs.

We unfortunately see, likewise, that the 'lofted States
of North America, who seem to be the' most tranquil
and robust, are at present likewise threatened with the
evils and calamities of their neighbours. All the Jour-
nals of that country seem to be very apprehensive that
on Jackson becoming President, this military man may
attempt some change of Government, and commence
some war or other, for the purpose of giving employ.
meet to his active friends. They complain that the
American youth are now solely addicted to martial
exercises, this being the predominant passion, and that
they forsake for this their peaceable occupations of
agriculture and commerce, and all those branches of
industry that constituted their prosperity.
The French Generals and soldiers who lately emi-
grated into that country, have undoubtedly inspired the
Americans with these warlike sentiments, which may
shortly become the cause and occasion of their forfeit.
ing their liberty, as it happened to the Romans under
Caw, and to the French under Napoleon.
