ENGLAND.
New MINIsTRy.-.One of the most important
items of English intelligence furnished by this
arrival is the change in the British Ministry.
The following is the arrangement, so far as as
ceTtained with certainty:
The Earl of Carlisle to be Lord Prvy Seal.
Mr.. Ellice, Secretary of War, to have seat
in the Cabinet.
Mr.. Spring Rice, Colonial Secretary, with a
seat in the Cabinet.
Lord Auckland, First lord of the Admiralty,
with seat in the Cabinet.
Mr. Francis Barring (son of Sir Thomas Ba-
ring) to succeed Mr. Spring Rice, as Secretary
of the Treasury.
Mr. More O'Ferrall, an Irish Catholic, sue
ceeds Mr.. Barring as Junior Lord of the Urea
sury.
We perceive no clear accounts relative to the
places Earl Grey and Lord Brougham are to
hold under the reorganization, but infer that
they are to retain the places they have hereto
fore held. At all events, We do not perceive
that they have resigned, nor that others have
been appointed in their room. A large number
of the most respectable members of the House
of Commons had preferred written request to
Earl Grey requesting that he would not resign,
and expressing the highest confidence in him.
1t was signed by very many of those who were
opposed to his administration.
The report that Lord Durham was going TO
Paris as Minister to the French Court is contra
dicted.
Lord Mulgrave, if appointed to the Post Of
flee, is not to have seat in the Cabinet.
We learn that the change Of administration
has taken place in consequence of difference
of opinion respecting the revenue of the Irish
Church, and respecting that question alone.
There is not the slightest reason to expect any
change whatever of the general policy of Earl
Grey's Cabinet.
Those who had resigned their places as Mi
nisters were Mr.. Stanley Sir James Graham,
the Duke Of Richmond and Earl of Ripon
The ratification Of the Treaty between Eng
land France Spain, and Portugal, has been re-
ceived in London.
ROYAL SPEECH-TnE CHURcH.-The following
Royal Speech, though not delivered from the
Throne, is contained in the Standard of the goth
of May. II exhibits very clearly the sentiments
of the King in relation to the Church Establish
Inent of England. The Standard says: With
a sense OF exultation and gratitude which We
cannot describe, but in which millions of our
llowsubjects will participate, we lay before
our readers the following account of the inter
view between his Majesty and the Prelates OF
the United Church which took place yesterday.

shops Of Canterbury and Armaugh, waited up
