), Yesterday Sunday afternoon, learnt that The
ship Liberty, from Liverpool, was below with tou,

ed at the Herald Office TO make some inquiries on
lbe subject, and was Informed that copy Of tbs
Erha had been sent OF by mail for the Onion. as
wen ms 10 other papers IN that direction, and fo'
which favor the Herald merits, and viii no doubi
receive, the thanks Of those receiving such late and
important news IN advance of other Of infor-
nation.
The political news, YOU viii have perceived, is Of
very important character. Sir Robert Peel's min.
been broken up. His sueeessors, pledged 10
carry out Iee-lrade IN corn, will likely only
maintain brief existence. They cannot expeci 10
carry their reduction OF duties through the House Of
Lords, and not, probably, through the House of
Commons IL they fail, Parliament will be dis
solved, and new election ordered, when the great
est political excitement viii take place in England
ever witnessed.
Combined with tlle proposal for oyerthrowing the
duties On corn, viii be added discussions on the
Oregon question, nBd whatever result the people
arrive AT, will most assuredly be carried out The

ly, The conservatives slso. II seems. the propo-
sition TO open the ports 10 the free admission OF corn
was considered IA pesoe-ofering 10 this country;
and 4 Mas supposed the news hsd reached US by the
Acadia.
Strange events happen. I wac present in the
gallery Of The House Of Commons in the spring OF
i 1871, when Lord John Russellz ministry stood on
It's last legs. He had just before been out
voted on the Irish franchise bill. He, there
fore, the night referred TO, introduced ball
4 III. of
for adopting fixed duly Of &c. per quarter. In this
measure he was warmly opposed by Sir Robert
Peel aud his friends. The debate wa. long and ami
mated About OF , O'Clock in the morning Of the
third or fourth nights discussion, Lord John Rus
sells measure was defeated by large majority.
Parliament was dissolved, and new election order,
ed which resulted in favor OF the Peel or eonserss-
tire party by heavy majority.
Sir Robert came In at critical period. Trade
was PROSTATE, and The revenues Of the government
falling In arrears. some predicted his sdminisir.-
ton would not last year. But he strengthened
himself by reducing dsties TO a revenue standard
and imposing an income-tax. He succeeded 10
improving the revenue so far 10 gain sur
plus over expenditures. His party was also
favored by good haryests, which prevented any
serious disturbance Of the sding-scae. He
now leaves Office, because he cannot 20 far
Their in fee-trade in than his rival Offered to
20 in l6il, and whose measure he then SO success
fully opposed. Sir Robert 10 great statesman; yet
lhhe MT webster, mere Is ne 10 gof IL the
wings carry the day before the people can he serve
IN wing eaLinen imagine not. II the tories, or
ultra conservatives carry the day, will they again
trust him with power Hardly. Then "Where is
he 10 goi" .. H
The next important question to he asked is, what
effect Is this new phase IN the politics of England
have upon the political and commercial relations be-
tween her and the United Statesi think favorable
AS 10 usual on change OF ministry, new minister
will probably be sent out 10 relieve the present
highly respectable and worthy representative At
Washington, armed with such pacific instructions as
VIII likely lead TO the anicable and speedy settlement
Of the Oregon question, and the adoption OF lberal
commercial treaty between the two countries which
would not fail TO prove highly benehcialo the pros
perity and trade OF both.
| L viii not trespass further upon the valuable
space OF your columns.
l will write again this afternoon, giving you the
effect Of the news upon the money and produce
markets OF this city; while emain yours, very
truly, MORGAN,

Calm weather for the season has prevailed in the
Atlantic by the reports OF sea captains coming in.
One Of the magnetic telegraph wires laid ON the
bottom OF the Hudson, at Fort Lee, 10 miles above
the city, fails 70 iransm the fluid across the river
/ The news can be sent hence TO Philadelphia ON one
wire, but in returning the other il is arrested
at the river 4 believe it is contemplated to for
ward and receive news for the present time either
from Fort Lee or Newark to Philadelphia and
back Both wires work on each side of the river
without any difhcuty Some suppose permanent
communication under ground or water cannot be
relied on; and to be successful, wires must be carried
above water as well as over the ground.
