Another of our magnificent fleet OF news clippers,
the Skinner of the Seas, boarded the splendid ship
Liberty, Captain Norton, nearly one hundred miles
at sea late on Saturday afternoon, obtained very late
and highly important intelligence from her, and
sent it by an extraordinary express to the office of
the Neic York Herald. 1t reached us early yester-
day afternoon.
The Liberty sailed from Liverpool on the 18th
ult and brings papers to that date.
The news which we have thus received, is Of
the highest importauce-of more consequence than
any we have received in the last ten years.
II mo more less than the resgnation of Sir Ro-
bert Peel-tle organization of a meu Cabinet By
Lord John Russell, and the probable repeal of the
corn lao.
The announcement Of this important fact-im-
porant to the United States, in commercial point
of view, as WELL perchance, as in political aspect
threw the whole English public into state of the
greatest excitement.
Its effect was tremendous.
In addition to this, and as a necessary conse-
quence, Parliament had been further prorogued as

Resignation Of tho Ministry.
From the London Herald, Dec III
SIR Robert PEEPS Government is al an end. All
the members OF the Cabinet yesterday rendered
their resignation, which her Majesty was pleased to
accept.
1t will be easily believed that we regret this de-
termination of her Msjesty's advisers; but we
should much more regret their unanimous determi-
nation to sacrifice the industry of the country by
stripping il ct all protection.
The important tact now announced proves how
completely wrong the Tunes was when il stated

corn laws.
From the London Chronicle, Dec. 10
An official announcement, in another part OF our
paper, confirms one part OF the statement which we
made overwhelmingly, that Parliament instead
OF being summoned for the dispatch of business.
would be again prorogued The other and more
important part OF our announcement is we believe
equally correct. The Cabinet, we are assured. re.
signed yesterday. Ii is confidently said, that 80 far
from the Cabinet having at any time come to de-
cision to recommend the repeal of the corn law n
large majority OF his colleagues have throughout
been opposed to Sir Robert PeePs recommendation.
From the London Times, Dec. III
Yesterday, Parliament was further prorogued to
the 30th instant. The namlrg of so early day
would OF itself imply that the Cabinet is not now In
which have been confidently circulated in the beat
informed quarterssince Monday, and circumstances
which have come to our knowledge since the return
OF the Ministers last night from Osborne House,
leave scarcely any reasonable doubt that the re-
wing repugnance Of the Duke to the decision Of
his colleagues has rendered it necessary for them to
tender their resignation to her Majesty An I'M
foreseen difhculty OF course there must have been
somewhere. Alter so long and close succession
OF councils, that difficulty could only arise from
struggle between the declared intentions of the
chief and the prejudice or pride of some of his col
leagues. Were the Ministry certain OF meeting Par
