t Metaengii nw wore thao teo Vfecelved the king's administration; wid r'tthkliy vutobe 4s nearly ?mjKM?U>l? in the Iom and ?eftbitof which lord Liverpool that Mr. Canning who he may have, lias never Mfd is wanting In manliness and < was no sooner honored by thisdis- | mark of htaaovereign'scouAdeaoe, | * to carry the royaliittco I tifcet, and with mntt; Mi\ Canning, we are I enabled to nay* had no sooner tendered thei first place tn thccablnet to him, than be im mediately signified hia acceptance to his col- ? leagaes, and requested them to act with him ( in th* attaint of the country. The friends of) Mr. Canning confidently state, that it was ' Mr. C's intention to make as few changes in ; th* existing cabinet as possible; that he wasi anxious to proceed in the precise course of i policy marked out hy tho earl of Liverpool, and to conduct himself towardshis colleague* i as he had hitherto done; that he had not I "? the most distant intention (u.t indeed the *hing'? command would not suffer it) to make Up, what is called a catholic cahinct, but to leave that difficult, entangled and turbulent question, as it hitherto had been, to the free an4 unlettered conscience of every indlvidu-} al member. Mr. Canning was ready to uct f ?ith the lord chancellor, Mr. Heel, and the ; dnke of Wellington, and did not as we arc > /tfiven to understand, contemplate a change ? even in the minor offices of the adininistra- i tion. In ether words, lord Liverpool'* ap- . probation and choice were to l?e deemed sut- j no (cat for the continuing sanction and coua-j . ilettance of Mr, Canning. Tlio king had offered him the conduct of tflhirs, and Mr. Canning, trusting to hi*own ; undoubted powers, and the universal confi dence of the Country in them, had no hesita tion in accepting the office, and reasonably expected that his colleagues would concedc to him that right hand of fellowship which his talents justly entitled him to aemand.' What, therefore, must have been his sur prise, his regret, and mortification, when, upon signifying his acceptance of the high post offered to hhn, six of his colleagues im? mediately sent in their resignation; that is to say, the lord Chancellor, Mr. Peel, the duke of Wellington, lord Melville, and lord Dathurst. It has been stated that lord Bexlcy had also sent in his resignation; but this i* not trne. It appears that he never made, nor intended to make, any resignation. Un doubtedly however, there is enough to sur prise any man at this conduct of Mr. Can ning's late colleagues. It seems a contuina Clnus opposition to the king's just preroga tive, that of chasing his own first minister; tnd we arc at a loss to know upon what principles these noblemen mi l gentlemen hare acted. Upon what principle, let us ' ask, have thev refused to concur with Mr. Canning, as first minister, following in the - line ami policy of lord Liverpool, wiUi whom . ' they did not objeet to co-operate when he / field the seals of the foreign olllrc* It has been said that pcrsonnl resentment and dis like have influenced nil, cxccpl Mr. Peel. That all of them with this exception, were Jealous of the superiority whielt the first place In the cabinet would give to Mr. Can ning, and Imagined that they could discover -an intention in him (ill-dissembled) speedily, to supplant them, and todueplicc them in office by his own friend*. With regard to Mr. Pe^l, H is tnld, and we believe justly, that Ills motive for resigning was more constitu tional and pure than the motives of his other colleagues. He dreaded the authority Which his ? dhcrencc to Mr. Canning's ad ministration might give to the views of those who were opposed to our church govern* ' rnent* and Were for throwing down all the fenccs against every species of religious dis sent. But let us consider the character and ?Cation of those miniitcrs who have now actu ally resigned. The Lord Chancclinr, who seem* to have tod the way by withdrawing hfa iminc from Mr. Cannlujrs administration, only with draws a wekht of odium and unpopularity ' Under which tl. t late government coult!: . scarccly stagge* >n. tie was opposed to nil j improvement ard reform, and was no less an impediment to the course of business in hin own courts as a judge, than he was opposed as a statesman to all liberal and enlightened policy whatever. His place, therefore can easily he sdpplicd by a better; and it will be difficult to say where we can find a worse. Wilh respect to the duite of Wellington, hta retirement i? aiueh to be regretted, n?, ; in hisown department, the military depm t gt, he was beyond all question without a ? His talents, his authority, and his j reputation wift be. much minted. Hut respett to lord Westmoreland, lord fhthurst, and lord Melville, their retire ment is not a mutter of any moment what ever. I#ord Melville (whose resignation very much astonishes us,) is a man of very little ability, at no influence, and stood at the head of * high office, in which the active - genius, the mind, and hands, were supplied, by others. He whs surrounded by a large, grredv Hootch connection, which we hottc, will fall o!f with him?to the great joy of t|?o nation. With rcgnrd to lord llithurst, the " lie scarrcly considered Mm in any otier t than as an amiable and well-intentioned equal to the discharge of the offi -routine of publle business, and capable of nothing beyond it. As to lord West more land, nobody seems to care about him. He to $atur eonvtva. A .

This step decisive and firm on the part of the king, and In a proper compliment to the presump 1 Uve heir of the crown. It it a just rebuke of Jofd Melville, and shut* the door of office completely against him, It Is, moreover, an indicMtion that no recourse la to be had to the whig benches. Indeed, all the proposed arrangement* seem to |mt lord Lansdowne, Mr. 'i'icTocy aad Mr. Brougham out of the reach n4 speculation as to the vacant potts. The home ottcc it may be more difficult to supply; but we think Mr. Robiaaon, follow* Ing in the track of Mr. Peel, would give great satislactioit la this pott; and when mis* ed to the peerage, would greatly aid Mr. Canning in the house of lords. Lord Dudley wilt be a good successor to the earl of West moreland; and the duke of Cambridge must lie recalled from Hanover, and placed at the head of the army. With respect to the great seat, our own opinion is, that It should be given to sir John Copclys we know no other man to whom it can be offered. The re|K?rt thut.it is to be offered to Mr. Scarlett is without foundation, though we think it highly probably that that gentleman will succeed Charles Wcthercll us attorney gene ral. Upon the wht/lc, we consider Mr. Canning to be in little danger of having bin adminis tration broken up. His strongest opponent will be Mr. Peel, who divides the popularity of the country with him, and who has th? church to assist and back him. Of the two perhaps, Mr. Peel has more of the public confidence than Mr. Canning. To conclude, we consider the present to be the commence ment of a contest between two eminent persons, Mr. Canning and Mr. Peel. The duke of Wellington most strongly supports Mr. Peel, and the friends of his grace seem to think that Mr. Canning's administration will | be a mere rope of sand."

STEAM NAVIGATION. We give from the Albion the following letter on steam navigation: to which we would add na a preface, that our countryman, Vf.rkins, has st length succeeded in com pleting his Stesm Engine, on his original prin ciple. The London papers contain adver tisement*, that he i? ready to contract for his high flreuure tafrty steam engine, on the following terms, viz: that for equal power hit engine sliall be of one fourth of the weight, *hall occupy one fourth of the space, shall be worked with half the fuel, anil khall cost one third 1cm than the first quality London made high pressure engines: hi* remunera tion to be. an annual charge of one third of tiie saving of the fuel that hi* plan effect*. Order* received nt Perkins & Heath's, No. CO, Fieri stn et. His engine is now publicly goinj*, it ha* been nubjccted while In opera to tlvc scrutiny of scientific engineers, his imtents are completed, and hi* triumph also is complete. -To say that hi* fortune it now made and secured, we t:h?i?ld have no tem ple to as??:rt of any man in Perkins' kituu tion hat a man of genius like him; whose ' mind witl ever he* as It has been, intent not on ( making money, but on making improvements ' by which the world will be benefitted, if he ! be not. i Mr,M*Curdy, of New York, who carried j out Hawkins' patent, has failed in his pro* ject. llrown's Vacuum g^s engine has failed. 1't* kins' has l?ecn nt work publicly ever slncc the middle of Murch last, and all dif ficulties have been surmounted, and ?I' doubt removed. He proposes to apply for a patent in the United States: we fear the terms of tf?e patent law prevent him. He is now under contract with the French gov ernment to supply steam artillery. His experiments for this purpose were attended by a c^mmittec of French engineers, who met at Woolwich: the Duke of Angouleme. and one of hia aids also attended, and the Prim e Pnlignac. The piec es of ordnance con tracted for, are each to throw sixty balls, of four pounds each, per minute, with the cor rectness of a rifle musket, and to a propor* t ion ate distance. One pound of coal, is cal culated tt> produce the effect of four pounds of pin-powder. His musket is to threw from one hundred to one thousand balls per min ute fur any length of time. The Duke of Wellington declared that a country so de fended would never he invaded. The French commissioners, after witnessing the experi ments, closed the contract. The British gov ernment have been pursuaded by some of their military engineers, that Perkins* experiments Here calculated only fur temporary effect, and have as yet made no contract, though the experiments admit of neither doubt or denial; but those who know how things are managed there, express no surprise. Suppose|IVrlcln?* experiments were made here, Is there w member of Congress?aye, is there tut, who would understand the theory ami be able to decide on its efficacy, even if they were te see the fact for hours together? Ami yet Mr. Canning can talk ye by the hour, a ad Mr. Clay by the day to gether: .they can shoot mat words in their war of eloquence, as easy as Mr. Pvrkias can discharge bullets. How very, very true it Is, that empty vessels sound most! Mr. Perkins has a1v? ascertained com ply. that whether in a high or in a low pressure engine, if the water lie permitted to fall Mow the line where the boiler is ex posed to the ire, so that the liodfcr become* red hoi, the Misty valve Is no longer of but an exptatkm will ensue. Hence the only useful precaution, Is, to Have a funnel ?hoped tube opening at It* widest part on the outside of (he boiler, de Mend Into the water inside to the depth of ''M ?team escape* ft an opening two hundred ?Ml tftjr timet larger than -the diameter of the steam pipes he cart have a prtwure ot cm tVfwinl piimit to tha square inch, on one side of the piston, and on the othef a vacuum, produced without oft air pump. He usually work< with eight hundred pounds pressure on the square Inch, stopping off at one eighth, and letting the steam expand to below one hundred pounds to the square inch. An engino with a piston eight inches diameter, an4 a twenty inch single stroke,, is equal to a seventy horso power. STEAM NAVIGATION.

It Is upon this prlncl|?te that we offer you the following observe tlons and ttetemenU inspecting Slum .Navigation, andtho fhaoges to which It must, sooner or later, leed in the system ol naval warfare. Notwith standing the prejudices of early education, and the pride natural to every Englishman on consideilng what the valor of our seamen, under the present system, bes achieved, we have been Irresistably led to believe, that tbe superiority of the Brills* ncvy.faadua/ceq/ti'cf, Is not to be maintained by the ineees hitherto to efficaciously employed; nnd ae the subject Is one of tbe deepest Importance to the security and welfare of the nation, we feel a corresponding nnalety to lay tbo grounds of oar conviction befoia tbo public. ft is not our Intention to animadvert upon, throw out aay reflectloas against the naval espe* rlmeutt which are now en eaaloutly puisued. C 'public. inlmadvert upon,or] .. ilnst the naval espe*' ... eaaloutly pursued. On the contrary, it has nflorded us tho most unqualift* ed satisfaction, to see tbote who are at the bead of our naval administration esorting themselves In so laudable a pursuit as the Improvement of the royal navy, which has been Justly called the bulwark of the empire*, but as oAcers, who have, during tbe late war, faithfully served our kiag and country?we feel ourselves colled upon, respect fully, but firmly, to stole ouropinlonson 0 subject which we In lieve to lie of vital Impoitsnce, and essentially neee?*ary to tbe safety of the nation. It may be pro|ter then, first. Io mention, that the writers of this letter have, from a tense of duty, made it their butluess l?otb to study the principles and nature of the steam eugiue, end to make assay voyages lu sUarn vessels, for lite esprest purpose of obtaining i^farmmtion; and therefore 4hair opinions are not formed on hearsay or hypo thesis, bot on the sound busts of practical and theoretical knowledge. We bore been on board of them In stormt. aad in all sanations; and have positively ascertained what thoir qualities am of every dascrip?loB; nnd although like others, who have lookt-^ forward to see their flags displayed at tue matt hned of a first rate, we have regarded steam vessels as something beneath the character of the British navy, we new find It our duty to, discard tiirvi selfish prejudices, and declare what wc have by csperiooo* found to be the truth. We believe no person conversant with naval, tactics will dilute, that tho etenm vessel has in velocity n decided advantage over sailing vessel*, under every circumstancc: It mast therefore lie ad* milted that the can obtain without difficulty any nimtltc position', nnd alto thai she can maintain H in spite of her soiling oppoocnt. Tho stenm vessel, depending on only one element, and being moved by machinery. Is not impeded in her velo city by any additional weight, added to strengthen her construction, or to render her proof against shot at a particular distance* while shot thiown from her at this dlstonec would bo effectual against a sailing vessel, whkh cannot be to pro tected without Injury Io her soiling qualities. We have ascertained that steam vessels can be made Ci?of against shot) and tbut even tbe puddles ecu lully Iiroteeted; there fare, tbe objection, that ?'a shot in tho boiler.'' or In nny other |aut of the machinery, would disable them, Is completely done away, aad they are thus rendered sacare from damage, whatever amy bo tbe fon:e of their opponents. The soiling veesol Is much mora de pendant on trim nnd symmetry nf construction, than the steam vessel, In which, ncting by momen> turn, whan once pot in motion, tbo rfs intilim is lucreesud by her solidity. The advantages are to perfectly a videbt nnd undnnieble, tbut It migh I Hi fairly asked, why do uot all naval oillceri agree at once oa this important subject? But it is not ditteuH to understand ilm reason. Officers who are high in rank do not like to took forward to this apparently iMteoiufortaltla mode of warfare; and they straw n roiuctaace to study n new system of naval tactics. They cannot ensily or willingly abandon the near protpeel they havn of proudly displaying their flag* *t tbe mast bead of a Irst rata ship of war, one nf tho UM>st beautify! and splendid objects ia the world,and when compared, even in imeginatioo, with lha smoky streamer? alas! what a getting humiliation Can we aspect those who have been so long prejudiced in favor . of n tytlaia which hne led the nation to thn pin-1 naclo ut glory, and who hnvn no op|tortuahy or aveo dsst/s, of inquiring Into the true stale ot thn easti, should at oueo abandon what haabeen d? ar-i est to their hearts for forty yaart/ Bot it is <#e J/Ms-?no longer can the British ftrtt rate man of war lie considered the monarch of tbo ocean, or the gallant aditofral nod commander In ehivf ef the British (ret, pie# the qunrter deck of suek a ship, even in ?eeuritjf trom Ilia attack of a little stemi ship With only ene gun/ l'??r it thn tleein-restel Is inedeelfeetuelly proof again*! the battery nf Iter opiranrnt at tbn distance of tltiu yard*, and can maintain lhat distance, which nra facts now beyond n doubt, It matters IMlle ? wh? ihar Ike * ailing ship has one gun or ooe hundred, since they cannot prodaee any serious consequence*!
