The imeiigr.uic by these arrivals is highly important and it-ter esting it is also altogether unexpecu-e. In House of Commons 00 the 15th of opposition manifested to ii,« M ..r Wellington, in the House of Lords, and Sir Robert Feel, in the House of Com mons on the following day, announced that his Majesty's Ministers had r esigued, and iliat their resignation was excepted by the King. Arrangements were properly ta ken for the formation of anew Cabinet, which was effected as follows: L»r:d '0 dates of 22d Novomber—For mation of the new Vjiuistry. Lord Guy, First Lord of the Treasory. Marquis ol Ltosdown, President of Council. Mr. Brougham, Lord Chancellor. Lord Ahhrop, Chancellor of the Ex chequer and Leader of tm House < I Com mons.

Attorney General of Ire land, Mr. Edward Ellice and Mr. Sj ring Rice, are to be joint Secretaries of the Treasury. Mr. Paulett Thompson Treasurer of tho Navy and Vice President of the Board of c f Trade. Ponsonby, a Lord of the Treasury aDd Insli Vice Treasurer Lord John Russell is to be Pay master of the .irmy. • Sir James Mr Intosh, according to some of ttio papers, is to be Judge Advocate. The Ministers kiss hands to day at 1 j to 2 o’clock, and the Lord Chancellor takes his seat at 5. Tfius <has fallen one of the most popular British Ministers, by a simple resistance to a necessary retrenchment, by a heedless disregard or the popular will clearly ex pressed. AH his service*—all the good he has hitherto done for his country—'he mil hary set vices of the noble Duke —the Cath olic Bill, the dissenter’s Bill—the reduction of the Beer Tax, seem in one moment of excitement to have been forgotten by his countrymen. We cannot view the charges and the commotions *hat are transpiring io England, without the most intense interest and anxiety. It may be inappropriate to take a view of the panic in London, and of *h e * m mf*- diate cazses that led to the re-ignntinn of the Wellington Cabinet. As we are, how ndever, anticipated in thix design hy the «a-
