OMAR PAcHA, AND LADY AT THE OPERA
On Friday last, an incident occurred at the opera
here which has excited considerable sensation,
and is the talk of the town, bucharest Omar
Pacha made his appearance in his box, accompa-
MED by the wife of his nephew, Tefwik Bey -
The lady was completely unveiled, and sat thus,
listening to the music with the utmost compos-
ure. This is, believe, the first instance on re.
cord III which the wife Musssulman has display
ed her features before men. and above all before
giarous, and is, consequently, a tremendous in
novation, of which | am very anxious to see the
result 1t displays great courage on the part of
Omar Pacha, but will. am certain. when the
news reaches Constantnople excite the fiercest
ire among the old Turks Mussar Pachar came
into the box soon after, and entered into conversa
ton with Madame, and while this was going on
ismal' Pacha mot he of Kalfat) arrived. and took
MS place on the opposite side Of the house. Glanc-
ing across, he saluted Omar Pacha, but. on see.
ing the lady he become deadly pale, remained mo-
u0nless for two or three minutes, and then rose
up, saluted again, left the box, and returned no
more. On the same evening, Mussar Pachar dis
tributed ticke,s to twelve English twelve French,
twelve Wallachsan and Turkish soldiers who
took their places in the stalls, and enjoyed the
spectacle highly to the great rage of the Austrian
officers, who complained bitterly of it the next
day.--Corr London Daily Ne,os.

English papers of Saturday, containing Lord
John Russel's explanation of the causes Of his
resignation, aud the commencement Of the de.
bate on Mr.. Robuck's motion Of want of con-
idence in the ministry. On Monday evening
30th, the debate upon Mr.. Robuck's motion
was resumed in the House Of Commons. II

Aberdeen Cabinet only hold office until new
ministry can be formed.
On Tuesday evening, Both, the Queen sent
for the Earl of Derby, leader of the conserv-
ative party, and had a conference which lasted
two hours, at the conclusion Of which he drove
hastily to the residence of Lord Palmerston,
where heightened conference took place. The
public have not been informed of what occur
red there, but the general rumor liz that Lord
Palmerston would not assent to the terms pro-
posed by Lord Derby. Consequently, the lat
ter was unable to form sufficiently strong
cabinet. Various rumors ensued, pointing to
Lord Palmerston, Lord John Russell, and
finally to Lord Lansdowne, as the probable
head Of the new ministry.
Both Houses of Parliament adjourned from
Tuesday to Thursday. On re-assembling,
Lord Aberdeen briefly announced the resigna-
tion of the ministry, in the House of Lords.
The Duke of Newcastle entered into ex-
plantations in defence of Lord Derby. He in
formed the House that he had been invited by
the Queen to form Cabinet, but could not
do SO. m
The friends of the Aberdeen Ministry are
rabid against Lord John Russell for breaking

We had suggested the name of limo. P. Red

count of his having been member of the

no risk on that point We readily yield our
preference, and, if our contemporaries support

place, we shall cheerfully join in his support.

Mr.. EDITOR Il notice that the question Of
altering or amending the Constitution of the
State is being discussed in the newspapers and
by individuals. So far as have observed, the
principal amendments proposed, are, first, to
district the State, and lessen the number of rep
resentatve. To accomplish this object, it is sug-
gested to abolish our system of to,on representa-
ton, and put the basis upon population. The
second suggestion is, to have biennial instead of
annual sessions of the Legislature.
The most vital and important question which
can be put to people is:--shall the Constitution
upon which their government is founded, be al
tered or amended! Our fathers considered this
subject SO sacred that they, virtually, prohibited
its agitation oftener than once in seven years.
They believed that stable government would be
more likely to secure the blessings of liberty to
themselves and their posterity, than an unstable
and fuctuating one; hence this important guard
which was then thrown around the Constitu-
ton.
propose, briefly, to examine the Constitution
as it now stands, also the evils complained Of,
and the remedy proposed.
] find, in referring to Thompsons History
of'Vermont, that the first Constitution of the
Stateswas adopted in III. The first part of
the preamble recognizes the great Democratic
principle that constitutes the first plank in the
platform of free government. Tho preamble
declares " that all government ought to be insti-
tuted and supported for the security and pro-
lection of the community, as such, and the
blessings which the Author of existence has be-

A CHANGE IN THE VERMONT PATRIOT. Major
Eastman, of the Patriot, announces that he has
taken in, as assistant editor, cousin, of the
same name, who was formerly publisher of a
paper in Llttleton, N. H: From the character
OF the editorials said to be written by the new
assistant, we should judge he was of the East
man family, and present appearances indicate
that the cousins will not be likely to fall out for
want of congeniality of tastes, either in politics
or morals. This is Small Change in that con-
Germ, to be sure, but common courtesy required
us to notice it,
