GREAT BRITAIN. DISSOLUTION OF
THE MINISTRY.

The reader will probably share with US
our surprise, at the intelligence Of the
sudden dissolution, oy the King, Of the
Wing Ministry. This news is not official
but il is stated so positively by the Times
and Morning Chronicle Of the / 9Th Of No
vember, as TO leave no room 10 question
the fact. The great and unexpected
change has been produced by the death
of Earl Spencer BY that event, Lord
Athrop, who succeeds TO the peerage, OF
course vacates his seat in the Commons,
Of which he was the leader: Being thus
deprived Of his services there, il is said
that Lord Melbourne Immediately repair
cd to the King and rendered his resigna
ton as First Lord Of the Treasury, which
was accepted. The King expressed no
dissatisfaction with the ministry, but con
sidered it dissolved by the removal OF
Lord Allhrop from the Commons TO the
Lords. The Times Of the 18th simply
and gruffly announces the event:
We have no authority for the import
ant statement which follows, but we have
reason to believe that il is perfectly true.
We give it without any comment or am
plfication in the words of the communities
ton which reached US at late hour last
night. The King has taken the oppor
tunity of Lord Spencer's death to turn out
the Ministry, and there is every reason to
belive that the Duke Of Wellington has
been sent for. The Queen has done all. !"

a hint 10 The Senate ot Virginia.

Col. Benton in passing through Virginia
to Washington, is said to have thrown out
hint to his party, TO this effect: that, as
the Senate contained Van Buren, major
lty , they ought to arrest the election of
Senator this winter. Our neighbor of the
Petersburg Constellation has either heard
OF the Colonels suggestion, or, great
minds jumping alike" has been inspired
with the same thought Ia his paper of
Tuesday. he broadly recommends the ex
pedient. as follows
" The Senate has the power, and should
the necessity for its exercise arise, we
hope to see it promptly used for arresting
the election of u. 5 Senator this win
ter, and postponing it until after such
time. as the people will have had an op
portunIty, fully to express their wishes on
the subject"
We have heard much from our Van
Buren, friends Of an "olgarchicn and
irresponsible" Senate THAT of the U.
States defeating the wishes OF the PEG
pies President, and the Peoples Repre-
sentatlves. 1t would seem that the sin is
about to become virtue in their eyes

that the House will not permit the Senate
to take the usual recess, unless that body
agrees to the day above mentioned. The
object of the Jackson party is to give fur
