RESIGN ALTON OF THE MINISTRY.
| From London Herald Dec. IL.
| Sir Robert Peel's Government is at an
end. Al the members of the Cabinet
yesterday rendered their resignation,
which her Majesty was pleased to accept.
| II will be easily believed that we regret
this determination Of her Msjesty's adj
visers but we should much more regre,
,heiI unanimous determination TO sacri.
fee The industry Of the county by strip.
ping il of all protection.
The important fac: now announced
proves how completely wrong the Times
was when it stated that the Govesnme nj
had decided upon proposing to Parlia-
ment, as Cabinet measure, the repeal
OF the corn laws.
From The London Chronicle. Dec H.
/ An official announcement, in another
part Of our paper, confirms one part oil
The statement which we made yesterday
namely, that Parliament, instead of be-
ing summoned Cor the dispatch OF busi-
ness, would be again prorogued. The
other and more important part OF our an
nouncement is, we believe, equally COR
rect. The Cabinet, we are assured, re.
signed yesterday. Ii IS confidently said,
that 50 far from the Cabinet having al any
time come to decision to recommend
the repeal Of the corn law, large major
lty Of bis colleagues have throughout
been opposed to Sir Robert Peel's recon-
mendailon.
From The London Times, Dec II.
| Yesterday Parliament was further pro.
rogued to the Both instant. The naming
oil so eprly day would of itself imply
that the Cabinet IS not now in stale to
meet Parliament. The Iumors, however,
which have been confidently circulated in
the best informed quarters since Monday
and circumstances which have come to
our knowledge since the return OF the
Ministers last night from Osborne House,
leave scaicely any reasonable doubt that
the reviving repugnanee Of the Duke 10
the decis on Of bis colleagues has render.
ed it necessary Tor tnem 10 tender their
resignation to her Majesty. An untcre-
seen difficulty Of course there must have
seen some here After so long and close
succes sion of councils, that difficulty
could only arise from a struggle between
the declared intentions Of the ci1f and
The prejudice or ptlde Of some OF his col.
1 leagues. Were the Ministry certain OF
meeting Parlamen Mt as the servants of The
Crown, it would have fixed The dav, and
our prediction would have been to the let
ter fulfilled. That is no longer possible.
Some minor changes, as we inumatcd a.
| first, there would undoubtedly have been,
but il is to the graver difficulty that this
new and unforeseen delay must be sscri-
( bed. 1t is said TO have been by the most
unqualified expressions Of opinion that the
leaders OF the cabinet gained the unwilling
coppi ance OF the only considerable dis.
scnteht. There can be no doubt that
what vas AL along to be opprehended--
the representative general Of the Lords
has sCce ie.t with returning anxiety the
weigh, Of numerous proxies not less tasn.
I y unde taken shan rasbly confded TO his
care. The head of 80 a:istocracy de-
mpuds. it may easily be imagined, Little
more tune to act ii not to resolve. Il is
not, however, always possible to adjust
the interest q Cabnei, much less those
Of q nation, TO tue convenience, tho dign-
iy, or the humor ofan individual.
An obsunacy which is assumed with
IS serious intention, may be maintained
day TOO long TO the ruin both Of cot
leagues and cause. Meantime whatever
may happen, whatsoever may be IN next
uooth, very few hours can pass without
proving to The nation the substantial truth
of our FIRST momentuUs announcement
VIZ: that the leasers Of The cabinet were
resolved upon proposing a total repeal OF
tho corn laws, They were resolved TO
the utmost Of their power. They were
