Iacenty-taco Days Later from Europe.


The steamer Hibernia was detained by a
series of unfavorable weather. She brings
information that Lord John Russell sought
to form ministry of Whig members op-
posed to the Corn Laws, but in looking "a
bout he found himself wholly unable to
obtain support, and was compelled to re-
quest the Queen of England to restore the
direction of the Government to the hands
of Sir Robert Peel. This was done at once,
and Sir Robert assumes the Premiership
with many of his old colleagues.


The change in the affairs is regarded as
favorable to the cause of peace, inasmuch
as every man of Lord John Russell's min
istry, supposed to be hostile to this country
has retired. The news is decidedly pacific,
and may, therefore, be considered as favor
able to an amicable settlement Of the diff
cuIties between this country and England,
as we'll as 10 a modification, if not repeal,
of the Corn Laws. The old Peel ministry
is, we believe, not to be entirely reinstated,
but an effort has been made so to form it
as to produce harmony in the settlement
of the various domestic and foreign diff
culties with which the Government is sur
rounded


The Duke and SIR Robert Peez.-It is
no secret that the dissensions between the
Duke and the Premier have been so frequent
and violent as often to place the Sovereign
in very disagreeable position, and make
her regret the more tranquil days of the
Whig Cabinet. During the many councils
that have been held within the last month,
the Dukes violence has been so great, and
his voice so loud, that the attendants in the
outer rooms have caught the sound-and
have learned secrets not intended for their
hearing.
