Affairs were th'Ui situated when tie Nhole coun
try was astounded by the resignation of :he Mul- ;
bourne Cabinee - Sir Robert Peel was called on by
the Queen„to form a Tory Cabinet, which after a I
few hours was thus constituted :
Duke of Wellington,
Lord . Lyndhurst,
Lard Ellenborough,
Earl Aberdeen,
Sir James Graham,
Lord Manly,
Sir Henry Harding,
Mr. Go'bourne,
Sir Robert Peel,
Sir Robert, made, as a primary procedure. a de
mand, that the Queen should change her domestic
female household. She refused to comply, asserting
that she•would rather be reduced to a sehject than
acquiescence. This produced a blow up—Lord Mel
bourne, was solicited to resume office, which with
his coadjutors he accordingly did.
On the first-new intelligence of the dissolution of
the Whig Ministry, serious disturbances broke out
in several of the manufacturing towns, and blood
was shed at the Staffordshire Pottenes in an affray
between the armed Chartists and the troops of the
Queen. Every thing seems to portend a sudden
and great change. The Bank of England, under
the unsettled Earths, has suddenly raised her rate of
interest to 5-per cent. The corn !ass and the di
minished supply have contributed to this inquietude.
Brazilian Blockade.—W e ate daily receiving in
tklligence of - fresh diffieulties accruing from the
Fi'ench blockading system in South America. It '
is really time to mike some decisive move on this
subject; one quarter of the money, time or spirit
uselessly expended on the
„pine log war of the Aroos-
Lock, would bring matters to a close. Two Amen
can brigs, recently sailed from Monte Video, for a
port in Patagonia, belonging to Buenos Ayres, but
not included in the limits of the blockade, proclaim
ed by the French_Admiral towards that republic.
The vessels al-rived at their place - of destination, dis
charged, and were taking in a return cargo, when
they were, captured by the Corvette Pearl. under the
orders of Admiral Leblanc, and taken into Monte
Video as prizes ! The Atnericanconsignees deman

Which never existed, the American Commodore pro-1

against so gross an infringement of neutral rights,

These blockades which have bacome so prevalent
with the marine of France, are without precedent
in
.the annals of international history—they have
been protested ogainit by all commercial nations;
and are not tolerated, and we trust will not be sub

come to an 'explicit understanding on the subject

prompt retribution has been exacted from the Ma- .

our great and powerful nation, hate beim' variously
argued. We are.not of • that class, whe''wisb to
throw indiscri min ate censure on the Department of
win., or refuse to palliate the failure of their• plans
and.erertions. •We allow that the numerical weak
ness of the Seminoles, is more than compensated for,
by their wily warfare, the intricacies of the country,
and the tilmost itiipostaibffity ofscouring' the numer
ous hammocks of the FloridaTeninsula. We have
regretted to witness the sacrifices of worthy officers
and gallant soldiers, which have been made, In pros
ecuting this war, and the vast expenditure of mon
ey has been•a secondary, but still a powerful cause of
similar feeling.
- With such views. we must conies:, that a recent
statement in the Albany Evening Journal, on the
authority of an officer engaged in the Florida war,
has filled us with astomishment and regret. This
is neither more or less, than the appalling assertion,
that the Indians are f.atively supplied with muni
tion of war, and other necessaries, by Government
contractors, and speculators, who are thus prolouging
a contest, in which theyfind the opportunity of ama
sing fortunes,! Dreadful as this charge is, and un
willing as we are to believe it, circunetance bears
i i strong upon its. plausibility". Where can the Indians

This tardiness, to say the least, is blameable, and .sa
vors much of unpardonable remissness. We shall

The Governeur C ase.— It is a subject of congrat
ulation, that of the many sub-treasurers, who have
been suspected of dishonesty and peculation, one. at.
least, has passed through the trial, with honor to
himself. It is fortunate for the Treasury, that amid
atrthe bad book-keeping and carries. management
at Washington, the large amount of funds in Mr.
Gouverrieur's hands, had a faithful custodian. He
of course will be disclaimed by the Globe, as belong
ing to its party, and must be a whig, according to its
logic. We hope he is. for he is an honest man, and
has resisted the temptation, which has proved too
powerful f.•r many others. The deposites fell in
good hands, or New Yoik might have been degra

Insurrection at Paris.—We stated a few weeks
since, that the population of Paris were like a smoth
ered political volcano, and recent events have shown
that the flame has already broken out, even sooner
than we expected. On the 12th of May, several
hundred workman, attired in blue smock frocks, pre
sented themselves before the gunshop of Lepage in
the Rue St. Denis, - broke down the doors and arm
ed themselves. They then proceeded to the Quai
aux Fleure and Patina de Justice, firing on the sen
tinels at the first, but were repulsed from the latter.
Barricades wore formed by overturning carriages
and oninibusses. The National Guard soon rallied
under command of Marshal Gerard, but the insur
gents being reinforced, made a demonstration upon
the part of the Louvre.
In the mean timer intimation had been given thit
the departments were in arms, which subsequently
proved to be unfounded.

THE UNION COLLIERIES
On the 30ib ultimo the first car of Coal was hois
ted by the Engine from 'the /shaft on the Spolm
vein, at the same time that a car of coal was wound
up the Slope from the Lewis veia, by the same pow
er. Each car contained 16 cwt. of Coal, and weigh
ed, with its wheels and axles, about as much as its
contents. The pressure of steam on the boilers, was
seventy-five pounds to the square inch—and from
the apparent ease with which the Engine did its
work, it. was evident that Iwo ears of 'Coat might be
brought up by each chain, with the same 'pressure
of steam on the boilers. The length of the plane on
the Lewis vein hit 10 feet, and the perpendicular hoist
of the cars in the shaft is 110 feet. They are dis
teni from mich other ;go feet—the parallel distance
of the Spolin and other _
veins, at that point,, as
measured b lift.. T. 8, Ridgeriay, is 426 feet, , The
sinking of he draft aim begun on the 2nd of Janu
ary lank- thn vein , was perforated on the 18th of
isi.s.fixt and slight inthei irs-'2134k1261!,
with five feet Of Coil. Thedimensions oFthe shaft
are 9by 12 feet cutting, and by 10 feet in the
dear-Vvithiitinkplanking and frame worki • with di
vision longitkiduielli with the course the vein;
for the cart, the western end beilig enclosed distinct
and separate for the pump and ladder-way, which is
thus protected from any possibility of accident to
the miners in entering or leaving-the mines. The
height of the chain sheaves - from the botiom is 120
feet-414th from the coriunenderiieht of the sinking
101 feet 3 inches-4nd below •the Adit BO feet 3
inches. These collieries have recently received their
present name from the circumstance of those veins,
for the first time since , the discovery of Newcomen'a
Engine, connected by the lame piaton.: . —and this
is something new under •the sun. " it also
be obseried that at the time the said cars were as
cending, both pumps, Shaft and SloPie, were going,
and no descending ear its the shaft, the' weight of
which with its chain would have,greatly assisted the
Engine in overcoming its toed. • •The Pump in the
slope is 9 inch working barrel and that in the shaft
is 7 inch working barrel, both with 4 feet stroke.
The drum for the shaft is 7 feet 4 inches in cir
cumference, while that of the-slope is 14 feet in cir
cumference, being thus precisely graduated to wind
up respectively, in 15.revrilutioes of the drums, (30
revolutions or the crank,) 110 and 210 feet of chain,
causing both care to attain their summit point of ele
vation at the same instant—and oce, or either can
be thrown out of gear in ten seconds, so 'as to work
either mine, wind up from either, or both, or only
pump from either, as may be desired. The novelty
'in this engine is that The Piston-rod eitends from
both ends of the cylinder, with two distinct sets of
guides, one being attached to the Slope pump-rods
by the crank, and the other attached directly to the
pump-rods of the shaft. Thus the weight of each
pump, in its descending * action, actually assists and
relieves the engine in elevating the other. Messrs.
Haywood & Snyder," who made the Engine, also
made this new addition and alteration to it, and did
all the iron work connected with the shaft. The
Engine, with its two boilers, is calculated to work
safely with a steam pressure of one hundred and fifty
pounds weight to the square inch on the boilers,
t and thus it could do all the work that can be requir
ed of it, for both these mines, pumping and wind
ing, with its present tux , boilers ; but there is a third
boiler ready on the premises to be added, which will
advantageously increase the volume and stock of
steam, whenever required, and diminish thereby the
bxpense of fuel by a moderate but regular heat.
The whole 'of this operation was conceived and
planned, as well as executed in ail its details, by
John liren, the foreman of the Collidies, who has
not had occasiou to change or alter any part of his
first plan—nor has he gained a new idea by the op
eration. The result has solved a problem, difficult
iii the estimation of some of your readers, although
skilled in the craft and mystery of Coal mining—
and it it prove advantageous to our region in general
it will be gratifying to its well Wisher.

"OCR FATHER WHO ART IN HEAVEN."
As I mused on the beauties that nature bath lent
To the green leaf, and blossom of each budding
tree,
I eghed for the hours so foolishly spent,
W hen in boy hood, I joined my companions in glee.
It was not for the cottage, o,r garden of green,
Where buoyant with youth, I would bound to her
side,
As my mother would call me ; though strange it
may seem,
That such retollertions I now will deride.
'Twee not in regret for the friends of my youth—
'Twits trot for the change that is markt d upon me—
Nor the precepts received, to "adhere to the truth,"
Though I sunk in despair, or was joyous and free,
I haye gazed with delight—as the evening breeze
Gently fanned my warm brow—ou the glittering
stars,
And thought that the Power who compassed the seas,
Brought Peace to the nations, or plunged them in

And felt that His POWER, could rive it asunder;
And bring in thb millions He MADE TO REJOICE!

And thought of the deep chilling crystalline pillow,

As it swan-like appeared on the blue distant wave.
And my heart in its gratitude, cherished the duty,
Of trusting in HIM, 'litho is able to save ! "

.with the "leetle bit" came the uncontrollable desire
of tasting more—and Betty tasted and tasted, until
she had- tasted all the. skin off the turkey. Now,
what was to be done?—the skinned turkey struck
horror to her heart—what would her mistress say—
what could she say ! In the horror of 'ner soul, she
p%ced to and fro in the kitchen—but in every nook,
in every 'corner, the figure of the skinned turkey
presented itself to her vision. In her despair, she
came to the conclusion that she might as well dig
as incur the anger of her mistress, and, recollecting
the poison in the cupboard, she seized the jar and
drained it of its contents ; lying on the -fluor, she
cried and sobbed, until her mistress, aroused at her

The Virginia Election.
The result of the elections in Virginia is deeply
important to the country, and. most gratifying le
the opponents of corruption and inordinate Etter
live power.,
- From the earliest times of the revolution, Virgin•
is has held the position of advanced guard to the
Southern States, which have in general lollowedhe

Statesmen, whose names adorn the historic page Of
their Country, and whose comprehepsive, liberal, ind
w e ll.stored minds stamped their own character upon
her institutions, she has ever commanded the rev
pect of her .eteter States, even when they lamented
• that slot was no longer guided by the - counsels 1 1
wisdom, but had been deluded by the cunning bet
'false professions of artful and ambitious men.
'I he mists of delusion are now clearing away
the people have already begun Co inqoire into tk
actions and motives of those who have led them w

it
with tbose'principles of Republicanism which they
inherited from their fathers, the architects of var
glorious but perverted qonstitution.. This Benito)
has developed real nature, and shown that it
the antagonist of liberty in disguise: That im ed.
•

porters of an Executive who seeks to grasp onlimit :

oppose his ambitious projects,
The ;Wale in the late contest was SOO'
to the people, whether the Executive she be' lo **
