STILL LATER.
Since the foregoing paragraph was in
type, we have received copious files of
London papers to the 18th of May, in
ciusive-but at so late moment that we
have but little time to speak of their con-
tents this evening.
The papers were received by the pack

vessel sailed from Liverpool on the 10th
of May. Our papers were brought by
the news boat belonging to the Associa-

RESIGNA ITO OF MINISTER'S.
Earl Grey, it will be recollected, was
defeated in his first movement on the
Reform Bill in committee, on the night
of the 7th May. 1t was evident, from
his language at the close of the debate
on that occasion, that his next move
ment would be the creation of suffi-
cient number of Peers to carry the bill
in his own way. And that the King
would sanction such resort, little doubt
was entertained, since the public, in both
hemisphcres, has been made to believe
that it was the Premier who was hesi-
tating upon the measure, even more than
his majesty.
1t appears, however, SO far as the
King was concerned, this impression
was deception. The further discus
sion of the bill, was deferred to the
10Th of May. Meantime application was
made to the King for the new creations,
and the papers in the confidence of the
Ministers announced the members to
be created, viz. twenty-five eldest sons
of Peers were to have been called up
on the 10, and 25 new Peers created,
on the l4th-with as many more after
wards, as the case might require.
A Cabinet Council was held on the
9Th, at which the Ministers agreed to
require the creation Of the Peers, in de-
fault Of which they would proceed no
farther with the bill. His majesty was
waited upon with this decision, and, to
the astonishment Of the whole British
nation, latter what had transpired,)
THE KING REFUSED HIS AS
SENT TO THE MEASURE PRO-
POSED, and that refusal Of course has
ENDED THE WHIG MINISTRY !!
Lord Grey did not wait for the sitting
of the 10th, to proclaim this result (; but
ON the opening Of the sitting of the 9th,
he announced the retirement of himself
and colleagues from the government.
The King came to London on the 18th
on which day the D. q Wellington
was appointed First Of the Treas
ury, and kissed u ssty's hand on
entering upon the IS Of Premier.
The Livery of London, in the Com
mon-hall assembled, had petitioned the

and morning of the 10Th, announce that
