III
New York, on Friday night last at IL o'clock,
in thirteen days and eight hours. This arrival
brings London papers to the nth May, Liver
pool to the same date. and Bristol to the leth'
The cotton market had declined: trade was
dull ia the principal manufacturing districts
and decline had taken place in yarns and in
cloths. The accounts Of short crop had been
fully counterbalsnced by the estimated decrease
in consumption.
The most important information brought BY
this arrival is the resignation OF the ministry
which took place on the eth OF May.
! The immediate cause Of this was the virtual
defeat of the Ministers upon, the Jamaica Bill
for although they stiIl had majority yet II
was not, in their opinion, so large as was re-
ouired to enable them to carry on the govern
ment, with the support and confidence of the
House. The majority on the bill was only
J Eve.
Their designations were accepted by the
Queen; aud her Majesty Immediately sum-
moned the Duke OF Wellington, and placed IN
his hands the formation of a new admnis,ra-
tion. At the suggestion Of his Grace, who adj
yi,ed that the premier should be selected from
the House of Commons, Sir Robert Peel was
sent for and the premiership rendered to him.
The Queen was deeply affected, even to tears
when the designations were rendered to her.
and she desired that Lord Normandy should
be entrusted with the formation Of the new
Cabinet but the advice of Lord Melbourne
was that the Duke of Wellington should be
sent for. The short lived Cabinet was then
constructed as follows:
Lord Chancellor, Lord Lyndhurst.
President of the Council, Duke Of Wellington.
First Lord OF the Treasury, and Chancellor OF
the Exchequer, Sir Robert Peel.
Foreign Secretary, Earl Of Aberdeen.
Colonial Secretary, Lord Stanley.
Home Secretary, Sir James Graham.
The arrangement was announced in the
morning, and in the evening, the new admins
tration, was at an end. Sir Robert Peel insist
ed upon the removal of several ladies attached
to the Royal Household. This the Queen
positively refused, declaring that she would
rather at once become a subject than be COM
PEELED to separate from those TO whom she had
been attached from childhood.
Sir Robert insisted and the Qneen persisted,
and the new ministers therefore, Immediately
rendered their designations which were accep-
ted. and the Queen sent for Lord Melbourne
and Lord John Russell, and re-instated them in
their places.
The Standard gives the following rumored
changes in the Cabinet:
Lord John Russell, Lord PamerstoD, and
Mr.. Spring Rice it is said, retire from the cab
met, and are TO be raised TO the peerage. Lord
Morpeth TO succeed Lord John Russell at the
Home office and as leader in the House OF
Commons Lord Durham to be foreign secre-
tary; Mr.. Charles Butler, under secretary; Mr..
PouIet Thomson 10 be chancellor OF the tx
chequer.
The next most important news relates to the
Chartists The resignation ofthe ministry was
the signol for tumuts and riots in different parts
of the kingdom, many of which were attended
with bloodshed. In Birmingham and Man
chester it was reported that serious riots had
broken out, as well as in the Staiiordshirc pot
teries. At the potleries there were violent COM
motions, lasting three or four days, and COM
peling a resort to the most decided measures.
The cavalry and yeomanry were called out. and
finally succeeded in repressing the rioters, but
not until they had been obliged to fire upon
them several times, wounding number OF per-
sons. Eighteen of the rioters were taken and
to a place Of safety. The troops
were firing, at intervals, nearly the whole night.
Considerable numbers of the agitators had
been arrested in London and other places
mostly leaders. On the night Of the 10th,
thirteen of the Chartists were arrested, after
some resistance. They were in conclave--six
of them armed with formidable pixies. Consid
erablc quantities of arms and ammunition had
been sent of from the Tower, for the use of the
military in various parts Of the kingdom where
the Chartists had assembled in large numbers
especially in Somersetshre, Yorkshire, Lam
cashire, Staffordshirc and Wales
