By the h(rival of the ship Marmora, Captain Lew,from Liverpool, on the 14th May, thu Editors of the Courier gf. En quirer have received exclusively, London papers to the 13th May. The news by this arrival is of the great est importance. The King has refused to cieate Peers—the Grey Ministry have resigned—-all England is in n statu of ex citement—and in the language 4 of the, Lundon Times of the 1J h, Ritokm ost Revolution is inevitable. We will not attempt to describe the excitement which every where seems to prevail, but tbo few extrbett which we are enabled to give, bdd Hie movement ot 250,000 iu Bir mingham alone, speak volumes. •The Captain reports that the Cbotera 1a admitted to be in Liverpool, but he brought no papers.

The Whig Ministry is for the present dissolved. It will bo again in existence be fore a fortnight has elaped. And it is you, countrymen, will bring them back again in triumph to office. The Borough mon gers must not ,be masters of the lives and liberties of Englishmen We insert the following from the second edition of the Timet. The news will come like a thunder-chip on the people. Pray God, they moot their destiny with firmness, fortitude, but, ubovo oil, with be coming tranquility;— We sre arrived at that isstto which wc in some degree expected last night. The Ministry is dissolved I The resignations 01 Earl Grev, Lord Brougham, anti their Colleagues, his Majesty, after some con flict—real or apparent—w : th hii own miud, Anally accepted, and announced such hit acceptance this morning. We Of course have now no tune to indulge in reflection on this most important event; We shall rather briefly enumerate the fuels which have come to our knowledge, The Reform Ministry has been dis- pl iced; another—shall we call it an Anti- Reform Mmairy f is forming in Its pluco. We hardly dare use that term, “an Anti- fltrform Ministry," before our countrymen •1 this crisis; we hardly dare use it or ap ply it lo the members themselves; for whatever mav be their internal wish, they must pay so much homugo to public foel- ine as to pretend 10 be Reformers. Vet tho now Administration will proba bly ben Duke of Wuilmginn Administra tion ; his Grace no doubt at the head of it. The place ofilte Lord Chancellor Brough- are—(we give momentary reports, of the An * 1 -Reforming lawyers as wa have Ciuii'ht them)—may be supplied by Sir John Leach or a commission. Lord L.vudhuist will most likely go to the Rolls, the position thorn being moat secure. And,—wltat next among the legal ap point mental Sir C. Wothoroll to Ire- hud, for sake of peacol Sir J. Scarlett Stay step into the place of Lord Lynd- burst. Anew Ministry will be formed With more promptitude than a batch of Parrt could be made by the old one, because there is more sincerity in all quarters. Yet there was no want «f sincerity in the Members of 1I10 expiring Ministry to wards each other. Their common fate testifies their integrity. Lord Rrougham mingles bis fortune with that of Lord G. uy, from whom he will not bo separa' ted in his resignation; uud their general determination to resign, evinces their Unbending attachment to the question of •Reform.—AT.

We received our papera by her aome hours •her those by tho Marmora reached us, and when on the point of issuing au extra /which will be found on our first page) of the nows brought bv tho latter vessel. Tlte papers brought-by the Brttanniu ore lo the 15th M.iy, from London, two day* Inter than those received by the Mar m»r« and ta the 161I1 from Liverpool. The roost important addiupn.il mforma tion received by this last arrival i» (hat the Duke of Wellington has been entrust' •d by the King of England with the for Tho appointment of tho Duke of Wel lington as f rentier makes it-easy to ahti- ciputu the character, if not the arrange ments, of rthe new Cabinet. It is scarce ly m-cts-rrv to know who are tho subor dinate Mjj'ml>i-ia of ah Administration of which hi i Grucn is the head. His active mind will pervade every department-his commamf tig spirit control every decision, and stamp upon every act ot Slate the impress of his will. By his acceptance of office at the present moment he mis pro ved tltat his corn age is as high as ever; he has yet to show whether the prudence of thu Statesman tempers the hardihood of tho warrior, and whether the conse- qoencts of former obstinacy in error have taught him that wisdom, which is u better qualification for civil government than all the viriuds of the camp. Notwithstanding all this, however, it would scum fiom a debate which took place iu the House of Commons on tho same day, but which of course whs not known till tho following day, that there was still some chuuco of Lord Grey and his friends resuming tho reins of govern ment. It'was said that the anti-reformers did not mean he should reign—thut in ad vocating and voting for the postponement of tlie disfranchisement clause, thoy did not preclude its 'Consideration in u fuluie stage of the bill, and that the sovereign was willing to take any measures absolute ly necessary for the safety of the bill, when that necessity became evident, but was not willing to tesort to an extraordin ary exercise of Royal prerogative on VHgue suspicions. For our part, wo can not bring ourselves to believe that Lord Grey resigued office without a conviction that thoro were insuperable objections to his retaining it, und yet equal difficulties, if uot greater, would seem to beset die Duko of Wellington, for it is confidently stated that be is pledged to the King to carry tho Reform Bill through the House of Lords. How he cun do this, after his protest nod speeches agalost the principle of the Bill, and preserve any thing liko it character fur consistency, we are at a loss to intugiuo. Mr. A. Baring ihus gets over the diffi culty fur him, iu a debate iu the House of Commons "I will suppose (hdlnn individual shosld go to the King—or rather, I should say, should come to him On his command, and thut the Sovereign should say to him, •! am sincere in my wish to curry tin- h to take into consideration’ the subject of bis majesty’s communicatwo. The eono- cil met at Earl Grey’s residence in Dow ning street, and has just broken' up. Since writing the above we bavo learn ed that Mr. Baring communicated to the House of Commons the fact that the Duke of Wellington was out minister, end that Lord Altbrop,at the time, re quested the House to suspend delibera tions until the result should be known of the sitting 0) the council to which we have alluded. The second edition of (tie Standard contains statements of the same effect. A private letter received at Portsmouth on the morning <ff the l6t)t says, that Grey is recalled.” An endorsement on the Courier of the 15th, for which we are indebted to tho ed itnrs of the Commercial Advertiser, says that Lord Allhrop announced in the House of Commons, that Euil Grey would re sume his office. MISCELLANEOUS. THE CHOLERA. Nr.w York, June 18. Since our extra of yesterday, we have received further and more startling iuforni atiun from the North. We are not dis posed to be alarmists cn this or any other topic, but as we believe ihc danger to the city is imminent, uo shall not hesitate to give publicity 10 information coming from sources ou which reliance cun be pla ced. Passengers.in tbo North Ameri ca arrived from Albany last uvuning, some of whom left Montreal on Thursday anil Friday lust, induce us 10 believe that so far from exaggeration in previously re ceived accounts, tho pestilence has outrun in progress 11ml -malignancy the most fear ful statements. , We learn Hint at Quebec 40 persons died daily. The mortality ot Montreal was said to be very , great, and (here had been no instance el’ dearly marked cholera in which tho patient -had recovered. It is stated to us that the Physicians are too constantly occupied to permit them to consult -is a body. TI10 number of deaths ut Montreal on Thurs day is said >o have been (font 75 to 125, and consternation lias seized on iho popu lation. The disenso is not confined to emi grants exclusively, lutt in M-mtrAtl is con fined thus far to them and the lower order ol the Canadians. At Quebec it is said persons in easy circumstances have fallen ictims to the unsparing ruvages of this borhood. This decision is founded, after mature deliberation, upon the unanimous, opinion of tbe medical gentlemen of the city. „ " Thirty-fbnr -deaths have occurred with ip the Iasi,forty-eight hours. The editor Of the Gazette gives the following cases, as having been reported. Ail the-Emigrant*' Hi>tpiud.—i9 cases —26 deaths— 2 convalescent. At private dwellings.—20 eases—15 deaths. On board (he steamboat in which Mr. Cone; our informant, started for Montreal, oho death occurred before sire left the wharf; four persons were attacked soon after they get under way; one person died and was thrown overboard, before reaching Sorrel, where the authorities of Montreal stopped the boat, and where cases had already broken out. In addition to the- foregoing, a gentle- mun direct from Montreal, who arrived this morning, informs us there had been 15 cases and 7 deaths at thut place; and that the disease had brokcu out at St. Johns and Lapraric. Tho Cholera at Quebec is not confin ed to emigrants, but attacks citizens and strangers indiscriminately. It is, perhaps, our duty to inform the citizens of New York, that 3 gentlemen who left Quebec on Thursday, in the boat with cholera patients, left in tho North America this morning. • • . . , . v —V J ... victims to me I stand pledged tomv people on his sub- l01 - rible rnelny . fe* nd _‘!! erefor " f »'!! n0 ‘ couse " 1 ,0 1 The last three steamboats which arrived hi Montreal had from three to eight corpses its being given up; but then I do not sen the necessity of currying it by such mo.ms ns those which have been recommendml to me, in a largo Croatian of peers. 1 wish that the bill should pass without such a large addition to tbo House of Lords, und I want your advice and assistance to this effect.’ But let me also suppose that the Duke of Wellington, us tho per son consulted, should say., *1 cannot ad vise your Majesty to consent to tha bill at all—it is one which I cannot approve.’ Is that, I ask, the advice which he, or any other person,-called to advise his Sove reign, under suclt circumstances, should give 1 Or should he be accused of po litical inconsistency if -he look uuother course t I know the high courage which on board and a number of sick.

Our worst apprehensions in relation to tins dreadful disease, are painfully real ised. its ravages at Quebec am must ap palling. We this morning saw Mr, Cone, of Charleston, S Carolina, who left Que bec on Tuesday, and is one day in ad vance of the mail. He permitted us, a few minutes before the North America loti, to see a copy of -the Quebec Gazette of the Hill iust. from which we make a hasty extract. From the Quebec Gazette of June II. . The Asiatic Cholera.—\\ e announced the existence of the Cholera at Grosse Isle on Friday. It is now in this city. Its effects in uu Amnricau climate arc likely 10 do more injury than io Europe. it becomes the duty of all to be vigil ant in repelling tjje ravages of this Com mon destroyer. Cleanliness, temperance, tegularily of habits, moderate eating and exercise, and cxeniptiou from all excess, are the best preventives. The greatest number ol deaths are from Champlain street. Three 01 four deaths have occurred in the Upper town. Deutlis havo been caused in five or six hours! Four o'clock, P, M. The Board of Health have just made e report, from which the following*is an extract;-* Board of Health. Qestcc, Aon 11(A 1832. It becomes the painful duly of the Board of Health to announce the existence of CIVIL WAR IN GEORGIA. Carroll County, Ga. June 20th, 1832. " The statement in the Macon Tele graph, relativo to tho civil war in this county and those adjoining, is inaccurate in severid particulars. Iu tho first in stance, the Sleeks, not slcckcrs or slickers, are, with few exceptions, Gootgian by re sidence and organization: their object is the protection of person and property on thu frontier of Alabama and Georgia against the systematic violence und de predations of the Pony Club which our laws 1inve been unable to reach—they number about four hundred -members; and iu Alabama, seven thousand-dollars have been raised by subscription towards defraying thu expenses incurred in their retributive operations. “ The circunisiuiices tlmt led to the death of the poney clubman, are these: A respectable uld gentleman iu Alabama had his horses, one after another, stolen from him, until his suddle horse, a valua ble animal, only romuiued—ho could not run a plough. The saddle-horse and thirty head of cattle one morning soon af ter disappeared.—Tho quarter whence the marauders came being notorious, he crossed into Carroll, and, though unsuc cessful in identifying the thieves, ascer tained the person into whose possession the horse and cuttle had been transferred. By the assistance of the Sheks, thut per son was secured, tied up, nud ou the poim of undergoing (be summary process of tbe lash, when, on paying two huudred dollars (the sum for which he had sold the horse) to the owner, und promising to re store tire cattle next day, but chiefly at the intercession of bis brother, a.worthy man, he was loosed, and pardoned.. Next day, the old Alabamian wont to the place agreed on; but instead of receiving bis cuttle, was taken into custody by a poney club constable at the head of un armed posse of the same description. It was first the intcution of thu gang not to take but <0 murder him. One of them had levelled u gun at him and was on tho poim of firing, when Mr. Goodwin, who hap pened le be present, drew u pistol, the only weapon lie had, and declared thut lie would shoot the fellow if he did not in stantly bring bis guit -to a shoulder.— Be- ing obeyed, he assured the party, that lie would put the first man to death that again attempted to level a firelock; und they knew hint too well, to distrust his sinceri ty. lie is an Ahibumiiin, but lias been lor some time un inhabitant of Carroll county, and is interested in und resides at 11 gold mine about half a mile from the spot at which this transaction was passing. Though not more than twenty four years old, he is deetily read iu human nature, and a considerable proficient in law : he is besides, a man of herculean strength and undaunted firmness.— The old Ala bamian, followed by Goodwin^ w;ts con ducted into the house, in which n poney club justice of peuce was in roadiness 10 proceed in the examination. In the pro ceedings, tlte justice departed, most fla grantly from the statute, with the evident determination of committing the prisoner. Goodwin opbruided him for the malversa tion, and declared he would shoot him lit hie place if he did not adhere to the fetter, at the same time making the armed band keep at a respectful distance. In tho mean while, ope of die Sleeks accidentally rode past, with whom Goodwin communi cated hy signs. In a short time n number of armed Sleeks appeared, and the jus tice, constable and posse fled with preci pitation, ono of them leaving his gun, which Goodwin shouldered. So highly exasperated at the result was the pony club man who had caused the whole affair, that he resolved to assassinate Goodwin that night on his way home lo the geld mine. ■In company with another choice spirit, he stationed himself on the road ; and, on thu appearance oY a wan about Good win’s sice nnd wearing a hnt of the same color, levelled his gun, uud would have shot him, had not the man opportunely called to him and convinced him of his mistake. A second with a white hat was approaching, and .the assassin’s gun was apa'in pointed. Goodwin, who was be hind only a few stops, su(v the uclioo, di- viked the motive, end shouted to the wretch, whp, recognizing the voice, brought the muzzlo of his piece to a line with the object of his vengeance—but too late shot, two ef which penetrated the side of his head. He felt apparently lifeless, but after throe quarters of an hour, revived, and for Several days was thought to bo re covering, but at the end of two or three weeks, died, the victim of his feH passions and bad company. " The day after this tragic contact, the poney cVib constable, who had officiated at the capture of the old. Alabamian, ap peared with' eight armed poney club men, at the gold mine al-which Goodwin resi ded. The latter, on seeing them, leisure ly loaded his gun, walked out, and told them .that-he would kill the first man that crossed a line which he pointed out. They were confounded, and without during to advance or rctroat, stood like steers in a thunder storm. He stepped up to the constable, (who was encumbered with a gun, brace of pistols and two daggers) told him he was loo contemptible for his re sentment, but us he had been for some time a fugitive from justice, be most go into the house and watt until process could be served. The constable in mute hu miliation obeyed. Goodwin dispatched n messenger after the officer holding the criminal writ, to tvhom lie delivered the constable, who is now safely lodged in the jail of tins couuty for trial. “ The extent of the -depredations com mitted by the poney club, as well us iho mode -in which justice is evaded, is faith fully delineated by the Tele-graph; but all of the poney club men subjected to tho lush, have not emigrated. More than a dozen, now iu this county, have, since being regenerated by stripes, quit laziness and theft for a livelihood, and hired them selves to labor for the vei v tnen that ap plied the thong to their bucks. Flogging is howevet followed in most instances by immediate emigration, and flogging is practiced whenever the Sleeks full in with poney club men. The lash has been of uieat service both to the property and morals, of this section of country. The whippiug-sysiem has however boon per verted iu some cases, nnd the innnconl havo received mul-trealment. This has been caused by the Sleeks relying too itn plioiily on the confessions of the scoun drels while under the whip. A most re spectable citizen of Hull county was ill this way accused of bemg an accessory, • nd has in consequence been mos: shame fully abused. Such evidence should bn received only in cases in which collateral testimony is strong; otherwise the poney club, acting 011 the principles of preserva tion and revenge, will implicate the best men in the country, and bring the Sleeks iuto danger and abhorrence.

Colton, the auther of .“LaCon.” It will bo remembered that this gentleman disap peared suddenly from England abont tbe period of tlte Thurtell murder, and it was generally supposed that he had fallen a victim to that notorious criminal. It was soon ascertained, however, that Mr. Col ton’s disappearance was caused 'by pecu niary embarrassments, but for a long time the place of his retreat Was a mystery. He was ut length seen in Raris, where, for a time, he mixed in good society, but soon afterwards became a confirmed g«ni* blor, and fell into all sorts of dissipation. During the last lew months, his excesses had reduced him to great poverty, and brought on a disease, to semovo which tt surgical operation became indispensable. The dread of this operation produced such an effect upon Mr. Colton's mind, that lie beerroe almost insane, and a few days ago blew out his braines, in ordet to avoid tiro pain of the Operation. A letter from Washington, received at Richmond, speaks iu very high terms of two speeches delivered iu the House of -Representatives on Wednesday last, upon the Turiff Questions-—tho first, by Mr. Wilde of Georgia, in opposition to tbe Protective System—tho second by Mr. Ciioate, a new and young member, from Massachusetts, in defence of the Tariff. —Charleston Courier.

Selling a Wife.—On the 7th ult, ctre of those whimsical sales, which are not easily rcconcileable lo that English rever ence for law of which wo so often boast, took place at Lancaster.
