ENGLAND.
The change in the ministry of England had
occasioned a general suspension OF business,
and that stiffness so natural on sudden and mo-
mentous events. The London Courier OF the
18th has the following account OF the new MIN
istry:
"The Ministerial arrangements are compiet-
ed-Lord Melbourne is first Lord OF the Urea
sury. in the room of Earl Grey. Viscount Dun
cannon is to be Secretary of State, for the Home
Department, in the room OF Lord Melbourne.
Lord Duncannon is to be called to the House OF
Peers. Only two Secretaries OF state can, IN
the terms Of Mr.. BuIke's Act sit in the House
of Commons The Right Honorable Sir John
Cam Hobhouse is to be Chief Commissioner OF
Woods and Forests in the room OF Vlscount
Duncannon. Sir John is, We are glad TO hear, TO
have seat in the Cabinet. II is expected that
he will be candidate for the representation of
Nottingham, vacant by Lord Duncannon's pro-
motion to the Peerage. No other change, so far
as we have heard, is to take place in the Admin
istration, as constituted while Earl Grey
was Prime Minister. The Marquis wellesley
remaining Lord Lieutenant, and Mr.. Litteton
Secretary for Ireland We presume thatif any
explanations are required respecting the way IN
effected, they will be afforded this evening in
the Houses of Parliament"

and described the loss of that assistance as near

The Noble Lord at some length passed the

The return of Lord Althorp to the Ministry,
does not please the Radicals. Hunts Exami-
ner discourses thus upon the subject:
The House of Commons cannot exist without
its lord Althorp-he is the tortoise upon which
our world reposes-if We had him not or if
Northamptonshreh had him entirely, chaos would
come again. He is the one thing needful in the
House Of Commons. In the East they put an
ass at the head of caravans, in order to regu-
late the march at pace easy to the most slug
gish, and thus to hold compact troop. In a
caravan having few of this leisurely gait, we
can imagine the value Of one of the most de-
liberate; but this is not the case of the House
of Commons, and amongst the requsitionists of
lord Althorp, we are sure that many men of his |
