RESIGNATION OF LORD JOHN RUSSELL
SIR ROBERT PEEL AND HIS MINISTRY
ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THE PRES
DENTS MESSAGE-NEWS DECIDED
LY PACIFIC-THE FLOUR AND COT
TON MARKET-OVERLAN MAIL, &c.
The amount Of the information is that
Lord John Russell sought TO form ministry
of Wing members opposed TO the corn laws,
but in looking about he found himself who'll
ly unable to obtain support, was compelled
TO requst the Queen of England TO restore
the direction oft Government TO the hands
of Sir Robert Peel. This was done at once
and Sir Robert assumes the Premiership with
many of his old colleagues.
The change in The affairs may be regard
as favorable 10 the cause of peace, inasmuch
as every man Of Lord John Russell's ministry
supposed to be hostile TO this country, has
retired. The news, is therefore entirely
pacific, and the character Of the commercial
news show it to be. We refer our readers
to the Commercial and the Money mark
cts.
The news may therefore be considered as
favorable to an amicable settlement of the diff
fculties between this country and England, las
well as TO modification, If not repeal OF
the Corn Laws. The old Peel ministry is,
we believe, not 10 be entirely reinsiated, but
an effort has been made so 10 form it as 10
produce harmony in the settlement of the
various domestic and foreign difficulties
with which government is surrounded.
