Resignation of Ihe Mlnlntry.
This event took place on the 33d of October, not
unexpectedly except as to time. It waa looked for,
but not before ihe meeting of the Chambers. The
immediute csuse is said to have been a difference of
opinion between the King and M. Thbri, in rela
tion to Ihe speech from the throne. The particu
lars are tbua given by the correspond! nt of the
Times 1
On Thursdsy night a Cabinet Council waa held
at St. Cloud, under the presidency of the King, lo
consider the terms of ihe speech with which it wss
proposed that hie Majesty should open the sessions
of the Chambers. . The passage in it which referred
to the crisis that haa been produced by Ihe Ireety
of the 15th of July was couched in terms of hosti
lity, defiance, and even of menace. Ou this the
King observed, tbst it would be highly expedient
to introduce into the discourse expressions calcula
ted to altar the pacific chaacler which the Eastein
question had within a few days sssumed. Mors.
Thiers prixated in bis view of the sul j el, con
tending, vi.h much animation, that it waa necessa
ry France should as ert her independence, and
mtinta n her rank in the woild.
The King agreed with him in that sentitmnt,
but remained of opinion, that ihe proposed mode of
declaring it waa objectionable and dangerous. At
midnight M. Thieis resigneJ.

introduced in it, for a vote aanctioning a farther ad

preceded by a dissolution of the Cortes. The fol

interview Willi the Qieen, they'etatid to her' the
situation of affairs at Madrid, tne am bus exprcta-

On receiving and perusing the hole of hot- rain
stare, the Queen-Regent withdrew and sent for Eai
pertero, with whom alone ahe had a short confelertce.
Espartero quitted ihe Queen with a cpun'enance
full of emotion, brought the ministers instantly to
his appartments, and there Informed them that ahe
had already drawn ep and signed her sbdication of
the regency, which she seems determined to perse

After some consultation among thems'TfsjM.

her the diftlcol lies ahd dinegre'ableneaa of lha mo

Ferrer then observed that, if Queen Chri-tins in.
sisted on abdicating and on retiring to Naples, as
she proposed, she must leave the young Queen Isa
bella to lhe guardianship of the nation, and must
alao give up the public property vested in her a
Qiieen and Regent. Christina made no difficulties
with respect to Queen Isabella, but the demand of
her retigning'her right orer all property 'seemed to
cause her aomeheitstion. She aaid she would refl. cl
upon it until next day. The next day, however, she
was resolved upon abdication, and withdrawing to
Naples at all events ; and khe handed the set 'of ab
dication, which had len ready on the first dsy, to
Scnor Ferrer. The ministers accordingly announc
ed Ihe event to tlie nation. They theme!vee are,
by the constitution, invexted with the Regency till

At Ihe time the ves Is came in sight of each

helm for the purpose of going clear of the Pl.uenii,
which, however, ati.l kept com'ng do-tn up. n ih

fu'iHTiil Bankrupt Law.
Judging from the tone of some of the whig papers
we have no doubt but the general bankrupt law
will lie one c-f the exciting topics brought before
Congress at the commencement of ita session. In
the House of Representatives it will not meet with
much opposition, as a large majority of vthigs and
democrat are favorable to its pauage. In Ihe
Hcnste it wiil also pass by a email majority. 1'he
queation then i, will Mr. Van Buren v,to it! We
think not. Many of his warmest supporters are
in favor of the measure, and he will not interpose
the constitutional power with which he is invested,
to defeat ihe will of the people.
A National Rank.
This qucHlion is already beginning tube agitated
in some of the whig papers. Some ol the whig
members of Congress stand opposed lo it on consti
tutional grounds. The currency question will un
doubtedly be the greet bone of c intention at Wash
ington this winter. The friends of the United Stst s
Bank will make a powerful effort to obtain a char
ter fir a National Bank. If they jo not succeed in
thai, an attempt will be ma le lo repeal Ihe Hub
Treauiy. The line 1 f St, am Ships runn'ng between 11
ton nnd Liverpool, are taking the lead of the N. V.
Brbtol line. The Caledonia left Liverpool on the
4ih in t., and arrived al Boston on the 19th, ma
king the paraige in 14 days and 33 hours. The
BritUh Queen left Briatol on the 1st inst., and ar
rived al New York on Ihe 31st. Time of pus-se,
nearly 3 1 days. '1 he foreign news by there ve
si Is, it will be seen, is of a very interesting charac
tr. C:iri tina, the Queen Regent of Spain baa re
frigned, and haa retired to Itulv. The New Yoik
Signiil adds: "The Ex Regent haa departed for Ita
ly ; and mm h to the surprise of every one, she tskes
e husband with her. It seems that very ahorily af
ter ihe. death of King Fenlinand, the widowed
Quern formed an acquaintance with one Munoz,
ul the garde dt corps, to whom the waa privately
married. They have two children. The vol utili
ty removal of such a mother, who had the sole gui
dance of the yo.uig Queen, mutt certainly be es
te. rued a good riddance. She goes to her sister, the

TIDE WATER CANAL.
If the citizens of Philadelphia had an eye to the!r
own interests, they would not long hesitate about
Ihe propriety of making aome arrangementa for the
purpo-e of lowing boats fiom Havre de Grace lo
Black Creek, bound fur that city. Th completion
of the Tide Water Canal haa clearly demonstrated,
that the great trade of the Susquehanna is destined
to flow in'o that channel, on its way lo market. The
enterprising citizens of Baltimore are well aware of
thia fact, and are using every exertion to divert the
trade to that city. All the boats now constructed
on the Susquehanna, are designed for the naviga
tion of the Pannsylvsnia and Tide Water Canals.
Some of ihem are magnificent vessel', more reaem
b ing "abipa that ride at sea," ihan Ihe onlina y ca
nal boat. A few weeka since snother of these fine
boats was launched, and immediately loaded at thi
port with eighty tone of Shamokin coal, destined
for the Baltimoie market. A Union canal boat sel
dom ca ries more than twenty-five tons. The ex
penses in running the boats are, we believe, nearly
Ihe ume. These are sdvmlagia in favor of the
Tide Water boats, th.it are too obvious to be over
looked. A great pari of the merchandite brought
to this 1 lace from Philadelphia, during the fall tiade,
has been carried by schooner to Havre de Grice,
and thence by Tide Water boata lo the place of des
tinntion. The expenses of toll and fieight are leas
thsn by way of Ihe Union Canal. The only ol jec
tiou Ihul can be urged againat thia route is, the tem
porary delay frequently occasion! d between Phila
delphia and Havie de Grace. We repeat, that in
lesa than three years, nearly the whole of the im
mense trade ol ihe Susquehanna will be carried
through the Tide Water Canal. Whether lo Phi
ladelphia or Bultimore, will depend wholly upon
the facilities afforded by the respective cities.
INDUSTRY vs. HARD TIMES!
The complaints of hard limes have become so fa
miliar lo our eaia, that we began to marvel a few
dsys rince whether Ihere ever was a period when
the times were not hard, and we came t the con
elusion that at every peril d of the world people
have alwaya looked forward for bet'er limes. We
are well aware that there are perio la of what is
termed pressure and commercial ditUe-s, when mo
ney is temporarily scarce. But ao long, aa a people,
we enjoy health the bleshinga of free govern
ment and an abundance of tho necessaries of life,
we should nut complaiu of the tim x. In this coun
try every man may l e considered Ihe architect ol his
own fortune, and we may safely affirm, that in
nineteen out of twenty cases, where persons are un
successful in their plans, Ihe fault is wholly attribu
table lo a want of indualiy, economy or pru
dence. . The great deaire of ra iking a fortune in a thort
time, instead of pursuing the olj-ft.hionedand ut
most certain way of acquiring wealth, has been the
ruin of thousands whoie projects were all that
could have been de.iiej. By grasping st loo much,
like the dog with bis shadow, we fuquently lose all
that we have. We have ecldom seen a sober, iu
nustriuus and prudent young man, poascstlng ordi
nsry intelligence, who has failed to establish him
self well in life. Industry is Ihe main spring of all
our actions. Without it no individual nor commu
nity can prosper. Everyman is bound to pursue
some business, some lawlul calling to which he
should deote his time and attention. The great
Author of our being haa emphatically declared

ver, have a different opinion. The claim of thi
elate are too strong lo be thus overlooked. Beside,
there are loo many officc-hunicrs in the party, who
hsve been anxiously, though patiently waiting their
turn for twelve years past, to be thus unceremoni
ously shoved aside. The name of Charles B. Pen
rose hss been mentioned aa Post Master General.
If we miatake not, Gen. Harrison will have mora
d fficulty in distributing the. "spoils of the party"
among hia numerous expectant, ihan ha ever fal
len to the lot of any ether President:
" On one appointment, the public mind seem to
be pretty well settled. The office of Postmaster.
General is generally conceded to Mr. Ewing, of
Ohio. A belter, aud ft more bon et man cannot be
found.
The Secretary of the Treasusry will be John Da
vis, of Mamachusetls, if he will accept the place
and Mr. Webster should decline to take sent.
Otherwise, Mr. Verplanck will answer admirably
well no one better. The reputation which he
hia won e a financier, both in congress, and the
Senate of this atate, has elevated htm to a distin
guished place in the estimation of the public, and
New-York would be highly gratiified by Ihe ap
pointment. Having disposed of thia office, we a-e at a loss lo
keow whom to mska Secretary of the Navy Mr.
Southard is talked of, but we cannot apare all our
at le men trom the senate. Bestdea, Southard has
had the offke once already, and we see no eapeci.il
rcsson why he should have it again.
The Secretaryship of S ate ia considered ihe head
of the Cabinet. For the fi-st twelve year of our
history, the 'Chancellor of the Exchequer" wis
the fir.t men; but Mr. J ff-ron determined to
change the order of things, because he had been
mort .fied by the precedence given to Mr. H miilton.
At the first dinner of Mi. Jifferaon after his iusng.
uia'ion, he took Mia. Madison by the hand end
conducted her lo the table, thus iut miting the pii
orily of rai.k which he waa dixpoaed to asign to
her hu-bsnd, then Secretary of State. From that
time to this ihe presidency has leen conceded lo
the State d parlrrent. We are not quite prepared,
to make the appointment to this place. Mr. Pred
ion would do tonor to i'. He ia wed versed in for
eign affair, acquainted with European politic,
and is moreover en accomplished genilera ,n, well
calculated lo receive and entertain ihe diplomatists
resident at the metropolis. His talents aro of the
highest order ; and if it was not for his pre-emrmmco
as a rhetorician, better justice would be rendered to
his great abilities as a politician and statesman. He
is a man of tact, intelligence, liberal views snd ele
vated character. We can designate no one who
would fill ihe station with more credit to himeell
and honor to the country.
Mr. Bell of Tcnnratee h is been suggested fir tkt
War department. We do not know that a better
man ran le named. Mr. Ciiltendenof Kentucky
would fiuro as a firet rate A torney General and
thus our Cabinet is complete."
The Board of Canal Commissioners now in so,
sion in this cijy, have appointed Thomas Tustin
of the county, to be Superintendent of Monv.
Power on the Philadelphia and Columbia Railroad
in the place of James Cameron, lesigned. Mr. Tus
tin ha filled the pla.-e of Supervisor on ihe Colum
bia Railroad for a tao limit pas'.
United States Gazelle.
The arduous duties attached to the above office
must render it a most unenviable station to an
one who valuee hia own peace and omfort. Mr
Cameron has, we believe, performed Ihe duties o
hia office in a faithful and fearless manner, but i
tlie dincharge of which, he haa encountered mor
aevcre and bitter opposition Ihan usually MU I
the lot of a public servant. Some of the moat m:
lignant of the partisan pre.-sea, were ever ready t
huil al him their shafts of cslumny whsntver a
opportunity offered.
The Editor of the Boston Tost who ha sufftr. .
considerably in purse, aa well as the Iomb of hi
commission of Colonel, by the election of Mr. Davi
as Governor of Masssc'iuselts, beer up again
