from the New York Herald.
The Liberty sailed from Liverpool oil
the 18th ult., and brings papers to tha
date.
The news, which we have thus recel
we'd, is of the highest importance-o
more consequence than any we have re
ceivcd in the last ten years.
1t is no more nor less than the resg
nation of Sir Robert Peel, and the organ
ization of new Cabinet by Lord JOIN
| Russell.
The announcement of this importan
/ fact-important to the United States, IN
commercial point of view, as well, per.
chance, in political aspect, threw the
whole English public into state of the
rarcst excitement.
Its effect was tremendous.
In addition TO this, and as a necessary
consequence, Parliament had been further
prorogued, as the following exhibits:
"At the Court, at Osborne House, lsl'
of Wight the 10th day of Dec, l845
present the Queens Most Excellent Ma
| jestv in Council. Ii is this day ordered
by her Majesty in Council, that the Par
lament, which stands prorogued to Tues
dav, the 10Th day December, instant, b.
! further prorogucd to Tuesday, the 30tl
day Of December, inst"
The Corn Law question has been tn
cause of all this.
The effect that this news will have
upon the relations between England anC
America cannot but be of the utmost con
sequence.
American cotton had improved.
The following statement is made in the
Liverpool Mercury of the 10Th:
THE MESSAGE OF PEACE TO
AMERICA.
An inquiry has been earnestly address
ed to us from London as to whether tht
news touching the expected opening o
the ports really left England by the Aca
dia, from our river, at noon on the 4tf
instant. Our reply is, and we can an
swer for the fact, it did so. We have ell
titled it message of peace, because nj
one can doubt the effect of the announce
ment, especially if followed by realiza
ton, not only upon the Oregon question
bat all other matters of discussion be
| tween the two nations.
This we know is a mistake. The an
nouncement Of the London Times dit
not come in the Acadia, although it wa
evidently intended for that steamer.
From the London Herald, Dec. IL.
RESIGNATION OF THE MINIS
TRY.
Sir Robert Peel's Government is at al
end. All the members of the Cabine
yesterday rendered their resignation, which
her Majesty was pleased to accept.
1t viii be easily believed that we regre
this determination of her Majesty's ad
visers; but we should much more regre
their unanimous determination to sacrifice
the industry of the country by strippin.
it of all protection.
The important fact now announced
proves how completely wrong the Time
was when ii stated that the Governmen
had decided upon proposing to Parlia
ment as Cabinet measure, the repeal o
the corn laws.
From the London Sun.
Should war take plac,
with America, neither Aberdeen nor Had
dington could have carried ii on with tn,
spIrit and skill suited TO such a serious
contest. The downfall Of this heteroge
neous Cabinet viii be the worst news fo
Polk that he has received since his install
ment into Office. The Syrian affair mad
an impression in America, which estab
lIshed the character Of Palmerston 70
decision and national spirit, Polk woul,
rather see any man in the Foreign offic,
than nobleman, who, since the DAYS o
Canning is the only minister that has as
serted the honor of the country in all hel
foreign relations.
The character Of the remainder NAV
be summed up in few words. Sine,
the Earl of Ripon was prime minister
and by his pusaillsnimity excited the ri
dicule Of the Sovereign that called him tc
ofhce, he has been utterly useless. Goul
burn was only the shadow of Chancel
lor OF the Exchequer, and but for the
