at sea late Saturday afternoon, obtained very late
and highly important intelligence from her, and

day afternoon.
The Liberty sailed from Liverpool on the 18th

The news which we have thus received, is of

Lord John Russell, and the probable repeal of the

The announcement of this important fact-im-
portant 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.

Resignation OF the Ministry.
From the London Herald Dec III
SIR Robert PEEPS Government is at an end All
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 de-
termination of her Majesty's advisers but we
should much more regret their unanimous determi-
nation to sacrifice the industry of the country by
stripping ii OF all protection.
The important tact now announced proves how
completely wrong the Times when it stated
that the Government had decided upon proposing to
Parliament, as Cabinet measure, the repeal OF The
corn laws.
From the London Chronicle, Dec lol

paper, confirms one part OF the statement which we
made yesterday-namey, that Parliament instead
of being summoned for the dispatch of business.

cislon TO recommend the repeal OF the corn law,

Yesterday, Parliament was further prorogued TO
the Both instant. The namirg of early day
would OF itself imply that the Cabinet is not In
state to meet Parliament. The rumors, 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 scarcely any reasonable doubt that the re-
vlying repugnance Of the Duke to the decision of
his colleagues has rendered it necessary for them to
tender their resignation TO her Majesty. An un-
foreseen difficulty OF course there must have been
somewhere. After so long and close a succession
OF councils, that difficulty could only arise from
struggle between the declared intentions of the
chief and the prejudice pride of some of his col
leagues. Were the Ministry certain OF meeting Par
