DEAR BEsSkrr:-Just arrived in England, iron Pa
and have met with any thing bat amiabe recep-
ton from the weather, which 10 wet, gloomy and
uncomfortable English climate only can be. don't
wonder at the unsociable appellasion given to the
English Grumbers, indeed il is matter OF astonsh

they have few sunny ones-I will tell you directly
Of some of the these snvious clouds have
been pcrpetraag, iate but let me employ the short
half hour allowed me in touching FIRST more
important matters.
The changes IN the ministry arc all the talk, and a
great cal has been excited by the designations and
changes and elevations and appointments that have
followed each other with rapidHy and vaIiety that
engage all minds and have actually forced the apa
thetic En-, llsh into some lively demonstrate Of
feeling. The newspapers are all up in arms; content
and dissatisfaction praise and censure, Defence and
abuse rule the hour by turns; and amidst all din the
lllustrious little lady,, who has done il all, has
taken her flight to Windsor AID left them 10 fight il
out among themselves. BM let what has
really happened-Sprlng Rice has flown to the House
OF Lords with the appropriate title OF Meunteagle.
Mr. Barring has taken his place as Chanc elior al
the Exchequer--Poulet Thomson has left the Board
of Trade to be governor general OF Canada,this APP
pointment was expected and has been greatly cam
vassed; but as trade has become quite unn,anage
able, Mr.. Thomson hopes to have a more quiet
berth among the pac fled Canadians hope the same
i'll luck may notsfollow him. Lords Russell and Nor
MANLY have changed places; no satisfactory reason
is assigned for this; but opIne the made mar

upon him from the Rrougham and Lynlhurst Bate

suit warrants could h. have endured It any longer:

Commercial affairs look gloomy enough. Mo-
ncy the best security is at lS IL per cent
in many instances higher; the struggling tn meet
gagements is severe and constant; the bank accom-
modatons limited 10 the smallest humble AN! the

tunate results. believe, however, the distress To be

The grand Wellington festival took place yester
day at Dover; Lord Brougham toasted the gallant
Duke, and made a brilliant speech, worthy both Of
himself and the occasion. O'Counell has hoisted at
length the standard Of repeal, separation Of the
legislative union betweeN England and Ireland; he
has dicloscd his views in able speech, 10 which l
refer you--he will meet with stern opposition from
every shade of English party but nothing daunts him
he must have something 10 talk about. and this
will be his last grand effort at agitation. The man,
unprincipIed and vulgar he is, has yet done his
country right good service; he deserves well Of her.
