The Peel cabinet of eighteen contained five Scotchmen,
five Englishmen, one Borderer, one Irishman, and one
American. There were also eleven Scotchmen in high
government offices, but not of the cabinet. The Russell
cabinet of sixteen contains two Scotchmen. eleven Eng-
lishmen, and three Irishmen.
The Chester Courant says that the pretended dissolu-
tion of the Anti-Corn Law League is all a fiction, as the
agents of that confederacy are now at work in Chester and
Birkenhead, for the purpose of renewing their unscrunu-
bons effort to obtain the representation of the county. The
friends of Sir P. Egerton and Mr. Tollemache must be
on the alert, and that immediately.
SINGUAR CASE: A CHILD COMING TO LIFE AGAIN.
At Palterton, in the parish of Scareliff, on the 19th in-
stant, an infant, the daughter of Elizabeth Glassby, was,
to all appearance, dead, laid out, and the passing-bell
rung. The child lay from seven o'clock in the morning
to eight at night, when a person, on going tip stairs, found
the child alive and crying.—Chesterfield Courier.
The heartless inconsistency of the new Government in
regard to negro slavery, and the measure proposed for
neutralising the effect of the Emancipation Act, seem to
confirm the belief that further Ministerial changes must
take place shortly. This eitfectation necessarily disturbs
the confidence of the moneyed classes, to the prejudice of
the stock markets.

DEATH IN A RAILWAY TUNNEL. On the first day of
the Maidstone Assizes, a gentleman engaged in a civil ac-
tion was proceeding by the South-Eastern Railway to
Maidstone, when, in passing through the Merstham Tun-
nel, a fellow passenger, sitting opposite to him, was asto-
nished at finding his neighbour suddenly thrown into his
lap, and apparently unable to recover his place. 'What
was his horror on emerging.from the tunnel to discover
that heswas dead !

STEAM YACHT.—A tiny steamer was in the Hull Dock
in the beginning of this week, whose measurement, ac-
cording to the old system, is only fifteen tons, and ac-
cording to the new about twenty. She has, however,
made the voyage twice from Liverpool to London, and
once, in stormy weather in winter, from Liverpool to
Bristol. She is a perfect model in appearance, schooner
rigged, and everything in proportion. Her entire length
is 45 feet. Her name is the " Fire Fly," the property of
John Malam, Esq., of this town.—Hull Paper.
BISHOP GOBAT.--With reference to the insinuations
levelled by certain Romanisers amongst us, we are happy
in having the opportunity to state, that the pious and
venerable Primate, as well as the Bishop of London, bare
expressed themselves entirely satisfied with the sound
churchmanship and orthodox views of the new Anglican
bishop at Jerusalem in all doctrinal matters. Not
only do these eminent dignitaries of the church, but the
Bishop of Malta also, who has enjoyed peculiar opportu-
nities of intercourse with him, esteem him eminently qua-
lified in every respect for the very responsible charge to
which he has been called.
The Parisian newspapers-invent strange tales at times
respecting us and our country. One of them, for example,
says quite positively, that Ibrahim Pacha has been most
coldly received and cruelly insulted at London, because it
was reported that he strangled with his own hand one of
his concubines at Paris. Another said the other day that
the Queen of England is very cruel, inasmuch as she
threatened to banish the Duchess of Buccleuch, her mistress
of the robes, to Botany Bay, for having once kept her
waiting for five minutes I Last week, all the Parisian news-
papers told a cock-and-bull story of Sir Robert Peel's
eldest son having lost £60,000 in gambling, and having
been thrown into prison on his father's refusal to pay.
At Winchester assizes, on Wednesday, Thomas Mul-
lard, was tried for shooting at Thomas Brealey, with in-
tent to kill him. The prisoner was foreman over some
works near Andover ; Brealey was time-keeper. Shur-
mar suspected that Braeley had robbed him ; and, calling
him into the clerk's office one day, he asked him for the
money he bad lost; Brealey said he knew nothing about
it, whereupon the accused took a pistol from his pocket,
and, saying—" Then you are a murdered man 1" he
fired. Brealey was badly wounded in the jaw, but not
fatally. Shurmur had been kind to the prosecutor, and
declared that he only meant to frighten him ; be seemed
to regret the disaster. The defence set up was, that the
wounding was not wilful, but accidental. The prisoner
was found guilty of an assault only, and was ordered to
be imprisoned one month.

WHOSE EXERTIONS REPEALED THE CORN LAWS.-n.i.
Mr. O'Connell puts in a claim for the repeal members,
who came over from Ireland " to die on the floor of the
House," and who were only prevented from making a
shambles of St. Stephens by the timely overthrow of the
Peel administration. " The corn-laws are repealed,"
said Mr. O'Connell the other day, "and their repeal is
mainly owing to the Irish Liberal members." Sir J. C.
Hobhouse, Sir Denis Le Merchant, and others of the
Whig placemen, say—" Who were the real beginners of
those great commercial reforms which have now, by the
instrumentality of the late Administration, happily be-
come law ? Why our decried party, to be sure. And
Mr. C. Wood, the Whig Chancellor of the Exchequer,
declares with pride that he was against protection to agri-
culture "fourteen years ago." But even Mr. C. Wood is
"distanced", by another competitor, Mr. John Smith, of
the Liverpool Mercury, who, it is timely remembered,
exactly "twenty-one years and three months ago," de-
livered a speech so conclusive and so admirably compre-
hensive (according to his own paper), that its doctrines
have supplied "the staple of the auments used in the
late great struggle."—Bollon Chronicle.
SOUTH LANCASHIRE ELECTION.—OR Tuesday last,
the election of a new member for the southern division, in
the room of Earl Ellesmere, (late Lord F. Egerton,)took
place at Newton-in-the-Willows. The affair excited no
ptaumble. ic initeeturebste,rsaanudd thhieenpdrsoocfetehdeinLegsagwueeraerrievxecd by raileedingly
about ten o'clock. The chair was taken by W. Standish
Standish, Esq., the High Sheriff, and officially announced
the business of the day. R. H. Greg, Esq., of Man-
chester, proposed as a fit candidate, W. Brown, Esq., of
Liverpool, whose character as a man, a merchant, and a
free trader, he warmly eulogized. Towards the conclu-
sion of his address he said that some gentlemen were of
opinion that there was no danger of reverting to the
ancient narrow policy in commercial and political affairs;
but he himself thought there was some danger of a partial
reaction, and it was therefore important to have such
a gentleman as Mr. Brown in Parliament, whose acute-
ness and experience would enable him to detect and ex-
plain such fallacies, or such limited views, or such short-
sighted reasonings as these—one, as he said before, whose
whole habit of life was bound up in the prosperity of com-
merce and the freedom of industry. No other candidate
having been named, Mr. Brown was declared to be duly
elected, and on presenting himself was received with loud
cheers. He acknowledged the honour of being requested

the abolition of a

corn laws, and the conversion of the
leading statesmen of the two great political parties of this
country to a conviction of the advantages of commercial
freedom. He commented on the advantages that would
result from unrestricted trade, collectively to the land-

lord, the manufacturer, and the merchant. In order,
however, to maintain the revenue, they could not do
away with the duties on some of the luxuries of life. Ire-
land, he said, ought no longer to be treated as a conquered
nation. The poor-laws required grave consideration, as
did the sanatory condition of the country. He crncluded
by proposing a vote of thanks to the High Sheriff, which
was carried with cheers, and the meeting separated.
