in the next, abusing him for bu obstinate adher

great object of both journalists is to represent the

imprudent, and calculated heedlessly to plunge the

It was thought that the Emperor’s edict of tolera

obstacles to snob a course. Tlie missionaries found
uowever, that tlie current of popular feeling against
them was so strong, and U.e customs about rent so
diffi-rent from ours, that for some tilde no suitable
building could be obtained; and they were obliged
to content themselves with. a temporary residence
only u few streets within the Walls, and near the
American and English Factories. They afterwards
succeeded in hiring a house in Pearl Street, but tho
neighbors raised a mob and it was relinquished.
Letters have bceu received here as late os the end
of Septe mber, which stale that they had taken a
house in “ Rising Union Street,” where ther were
again mobbed; but instead of giving way aa before,
they appealed to tho United States Consul for
protection, and through him to the Governor.—
Great commotion ensued, and the people held meet
ings in opposition to tho “ white devils” as they were
called; but tho Governor was finally obliged to in

commanding mu people to be quiet, and no longer

The most remarkable, if not the most importm,
item of intelligence is tho restoration of the Ptv)
Ministry, Lord John Russell having failed in hii ef
forts to organize a Cabinet The main cause of
this failure was the refusal of Lord Grey to form t

placed at the bean of tho Foreign Department. Bis
reasons for this will appear cUewhere.

According to the letters before us, Gen.

allege that he was immediately proclaim

From Wiimer j- Smith's European. Timex
Since tiio sailing o! the Acadia on the 4>h ult i
series oi the most extraordinary events hate ten
witnessed in England of which its constitutions! hi-
toty affords no puralleL The country has been,-
founded by tho sudden resignation of tbe Peri Min
istry—one of the strongest Executive Government,
tliat ever swayed its destiny; by the assumption of
power on the part of Lord John Russell and tlie
principal members of the late Whig Cabinet—fol
lowed almost immediately, by it* abandonment, anl
by the reinstallaliou of Sir Robert Peel, minus tan
or three of hi* former colleagues—the whole farm
ing the strangest anomaly in the panctiiioof“Cal>-
inet making” that has occurred in England dorm;
the present, or indeed any former generation.
We forwardi-d by tiro Garrick, on the 1 tffi ultimo,
an cxtrUg which detailed these events as far as they
hud transpired up to that time; and by the Monte
zuma, wliich sailed on tbo lllh, wo sent another
edition ol our paper, containing sill more ample de-
tails of the intervening event*. At the time wc
now write wo caunot, of course know wliethrr fill
er or both of these vessels have reached their desti
nation ; and, in tlie absence of this fact, we siren.-
pelted to glance briefly at the events in the aider in
which they transpired. Brevity in this ease, will
be more acceptable than prolixity, as ourtmmfiu-
cic readers are rather interested in the events them
selves than the cause* which either led to or grew
out of them.
To make the nnrrativo at all intelligible, it raurt
me stated that, on the day 'the Acadia sailed, the
London time* announced that the Cabinet had'de
termined to repeal the Corn Laws, for wliich pur-
pcse~Pari foment was to be called together <heT5?t
