LONDON LATEST NEWS.

• - City, Wednesday Evening. Half-past Seven o'clock.
There is an-evident symptom of a break-up, and that an early
one,.in the cabinet; and MT. Daniel O'Connell, as we, and all
who took the tronble to look upon the matter iu a common sense
way, predieted, has swamped the popish cabinet. There arc
meetings and re-meetings here, summonses and couriers, tribu-
lation, long faces, and all those other evidences of alarm in the
camp of disagreement, not perhaps the less potent when the visi-
the satisfaction evinced in certain high quarters is admitted intol
ble scale. No one here thinks for a minute that the ministers wit
meet the parliament, from the "untoward" predicament they
would• be in were they to do so. They must, then, either avow
their coalition with O'Connell, or they must disown him—both -
would be fatal to them. They must either support the Carlow
inquiry, or oppose it—either course is destruction. They will
have to answer for the lives offered up by the employment of
rotten ships to transport human beings who the law has sen-
tenced to banishment and to death—carelessness or corruption
must result from such inquiry; and, more than these, there is
question upon question of shame, of incapacity, of disgrace,
to be met, and how answered? We give the present cabinet
credit for a pretty considerable quantity of assurance; but, •
hang it, even they cannot stand against the monstrous cata-
logue of
.mis-government arrayed against them.

bour Company, to which we briefly alluded in our last, has been
• issued this day, and places•the project fairly before the puhlit. :
it-is, as it ought, to be, a plain matter of fact statement, depend-
ing alone upon the evident facility with which the undertaking
can•be effected, and the undoubted advantages to be derived
from it. The capital is to be raised by 10,000 bonds of £5O
each, the first instalinent•being payable on the Ist of February,
and the remainder at fixed intervals. It appears that Thacke-
ry's•Creek, at which it. is proposed to make the harbour. is
sheltered by high land on either side ; the station is healthy,
there is every facility of access, and the course projected by the ,
new route.sbowi such
.a contrast, when compared with- that now,
adopted, as to put it beyond the slightest scepticism, that, both
as regards Use preServation of life and property, -as well as of
facility of access„ expedition, comfort, security, and ecdnotny,
the undertaking is worthy of the support of all connected, with

the prosperity °Lour possessions there.
In the c,iisol.niarket.very little has been done since our last,

scarcer during the last day or tso; but, considering the period
of the year, there has been nothing worth calling a pressure',
the readiness with which the •flank of England continues to
make its advances on slack and• approved securities, having
