STUART presented a petition from Leo pold de Rose, a Polish refugee„ complaining of the oppressive conduct of the magistrates of (Mogen. The petitioner stated that he had served is the war with Poland against Russia, and having been a re fugee, he fur some time received • pension of 261. from the Treasury till 18.50, when it was discontinued. He had been in the habit of gaining a living by giving instruction Is languages and by selling drawings. His practice was to leave his drawings at a house and call again to inquire if any oas would purchase them, but he had never asked for any charitable donation. On the 13th of November, 18.51. he was sentenced by the magistrates at Gosport to 14 days imprisonment with hard labour, on the evidence of one wit ness, who said he had begged of him. The facts wars that he left some drawings at the house of Captain Carport& Balks, lt.N. and ou calling again was shown in, and saw Captain Ham ilton, who asked if the drawings were his, and as be was abo ut to retire he was asked to leave his Maas agil address, in case any of the ladies should be in dame le bey them.

Megan. Wingate and Smith from the Austrian dominions. It appears from this statement, that Messrs. Win gate and Smith are missionaries from the free chards of Scotland for the conversion of the Jews; that they established themselves in the year 1841 at Pestb, with the knowkdee and approbation of his imperial high ass the then Viceroy of Hungary, stud that they continued THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 30, 1852. rid with foreign government' on statements which were not warranted by the facts. The whole cormpondence was, now fr 'Ore the house, and the home, with- • the 'lightest could Odra at as fair • lc.' ay the was AMU this act of oppression was not founded as arty law of Austria, er on religious grounds; but purely oa ptgided owdOerations. (Hear, hear.) It might .bejr, suppmed, Elam reading the papers, that the Austrian was • very Intolerant government. This was not so; for there were three millions of protestants In the empire, and whims the majority of • pariah were pro. irritants, the protestant church received the stipends of the state. It was evident this had not arisen out of religious feeling, but rather from the course this country had of late pursued, particularly in reference to the Hungarian re fugees. (Cheers.) That did not make it • matter on whirl the government of this country was less entitled to demand redress ; but he hoped, now that the tbrelgn affairs of Austria were administered by Count Buol, that more courtesy would be shown to the representations of this government. Ile believed that former officials had been actuated by a spirit of resentment, founded on a mistaken view of the course taken by this country. First, in re spect to the affairs of Northern Italy ; and had Austria adopted the views of this government on her possessions there it would have been much better for her own interest, fur those possessions added nothing to her power, though they might to her extent. (Hear, hear.) Had arrangements been made for rendering the northern kingdom independent, an Ito extend the Tuscan states to Ancona, it would have contributed to the peace of Europe, without lowering the dignity of Austria, by confining her dominion to the territories north of the Alps. (Hear, hear.) He could not concur in voting for this resolution, thinking that it might interfere with the carrying out of more prompt measures by the government; but he believed great advantages would arise from the discussion, in the impression that would he produced abroad. The proper ground of complaint for the British government was, that these British subjects residing in Austria, guilty of no offence against the laws or society, were expelled harshly and summarily, and thereby subjected to harsh and severe suffering. (hear.) Mr. PLOWDEN explained that he had counted out the house on this motion when last brought on, because he thought it of too much importance to be dis tied when 40 members were not present. Concurring with the views expressed by Lord Palmerston, ho hoped the motion would be withdrawn. Mr. HUME considered the tone adopted by the present I Austrian foreign minister showed • desire on the part of the government to do justice. • Lord D. STUART was glad the discussion had taken place, and thought great credit was due to Mr. Anstey for his perseverance. Ile paid a compliment to Lord Palmeri ton for his able conduct of our foreign affairs, and remarked that it was since his retirement British subjects abroad had i been exposed to the persecuticn of foreign governments. After a few words from Sir H. Vistrrev, The motion was withdrawn.

It WAS neeesouy for him to make one or two remarks respecting the other ease. flha repaistion alleged that Messrs. Wingate, Smith, and Idward had been arbitrarily . expelled 'from the Austrian dominions under circuastautes involving musk sacrifice of property and other hardship to the sufferers. With respect to the sacrifice 'of property, it was very easy to make • large demand for compensation. They remembered the case of M. Pacifico. and the large sum demanded for his furniture. Here was the suite kind of thing, but not to the same extent. There was a demand for furniture to the amount of 4721. Of course no govern ment could accede to such a charge without investigation, and it appeared there was a doubt whether the furniture which was sold was not sold under very advantageous eir eamstances ; rind no person could doubt that the original demand was of • very exorbitant character. Lord West more land took great iuterest in the affair, and he found Maul( in the painful position of having nude claims which could not be substantiated. 011 the 17th Juno Lord Stanley wrote to Mr. Moody Stuart, transmitting an abstrac tof the evi dence, and asking what he had to say against the truth of this evidence, but not one single line had b..en received in reply to that letter- Ile considered that Mr. Edward wee treated even with gentleuess. lie travelled from Lemberg to Vienna, merely on his own impulse, and ho left the coun try without being actually required to do so. Under these circumstances he trusted the house would reject this (-so lution, and by rejecting it, express an opinion that the present government and their predecessors in office had done their duty, and that the Austrian government had not been wanting in good feeling in this transaction. Lord PALMERSTON said, ,it was evident from these papers, that the discussion to which they related, between our government and that of Austria, was not yet completely brought to a close. It was obviously ueces,ary that our government should present the papers as they were on account of the approaching termination of the session, and therefore they might be perfectly right iu that, though there were points connected with the matter la dispute which were not clearly established one way or the other. One point was what was the loss, if any, sustained by Messrs. Wingate and Smith, in consequence of their expulsion from Pesth. They claimed • certain amount, herein stated, so the amount of their loss. The Austrian government, in their recent confmunication, bad assigned reasons why, in their opinion, no loss had been sustained. 'the answer of the parties had not been yet received, and upon that point therefore the house was not in a fit state to judge. Count Buol also, ho must admit with • feeling that did him honour, offered to pay the whole or a portion of the expenses incurred by these missionaries on their return home from Vienna, provided they were willing to accept it. To that offer no reply had been given, and on that matter, therefore, the house was not in a position to decide. It appeared to him, therefore, that the resolution proposed by his hon. friend could not, in the present state of things, be agreed to in that house ; and he should, there ore, re commend his hon. friend to withdraw the resolution. It contained statements which were true, and he should be sorry that the house, in declining to agro:s to it, though it could not be called on to assent to it, should negative asser tions which were founded on unquestionable facto. It seemed to him, therefore, that the best course was to with draw the motion. At the same time, he thought his hon. faked and his hon. and learned friend in who behalf he had made the motion, were entitled to the thanks of the house and the country for selling attention to this matter. lie thought there was nothing more advantageous for the maintenance et , as well as the extension of due proteetim to our follow -countrymen abroad—there could not be anything more conducive to these objects than that questions of this kind should, if necessity arose, be brought under the con sideration of that house, because it was of the utmost im portance that foreign governments should know that if they acted arbitrarily and unjustly towards British subjects in their dominion', even if there should be a government in this country not disposed from any reason to press the nutter earnestly for redress, that there existed in this house a determination to discuss the matter, and to call on the government of the day to show on its own responsibility why redress had not been obtained. Ile was hound to esti that ho thought a mast unfeeling tone bad bees adopted by the British government throughout the whole of this correspondence, and he was bound to way that he did not think that the blame rested with her Majes's present advisers. They found the matter launched, au dit wen Milkult for them to set it right. There was one thing to be learned from this correspondence—namely, how impor taut it was, not only that that house should take cognisance ' of these matters, but that the public also should take eogni- ' ✓asa of them. (Hear, hear.) He found it hie dully in slitidmatnicatiag with a deputation which called on him when Is seas ha dice on the subject of the course which bee SONO Severnment should take with regard to Hun-' etria imiteres In Turkey—he found it his duty to say that =honed* area from public discussions on subjects of set. lie said if government were disposed to do their duty they were strengthened by ezpres-inns of public opinion, butilf government wereshrinking from their duty they would I be revelled to it by an expression of public otsinion, and ho be thought it would seen from these papers how the action of the government had become more energetic in proportion 'as them subjects were discussed in various porta of the country. He had said that the whole course pursued was much to be regretted. No one could esteem more than he did the public and personal character of his noble friend who represented our government at the court of Vienna, and he was sure that that noble lord never would listen clonally have fallen short of his duties, and he had said in ono of these despatches that he would always act to the ex tent or the full effect of his instructions. If, therefore, his noble' friend on this occasion did not entirely do what he (Lord Pslmenton) thought he would be disponi to do he was inclined to attribute it to some restraint imposed ea him by those he was obliged to attend to. Bat thugs per sons, Wingate and Smith, had undoubtedly len tress cruelly treated. What was their ease ? They bad resided for ten years in the Austrian dominions, with the full Mew• ledge and permission of the government, in pervosal sow munication with the highest authorities in the provisos is which they were. They pursued their calling in open day ; they had a school, if he mistook not, under the very sum roof under which one of the high authorities of the stake resided. In short, without the slightest disguise whatever, and by full permission and consent of the Austrian governs meat, they were pursuing their vocation, when all of a sudden they were ordered to quit rho country, and at the shortest notice, and at the most inclement semen of the year, when in those parts of Europe Itravelling was a matter of the greatest difficulty, even for men, but for women and children was almost impossible, sad, is the sera of one of the children of one of theseAgen dlogaseis bed kw attended with severe suffering.

He was not prepared to assent to that paefpttliea Bet Ms he was sore of, that when British sollosts ware sell to have violated the law, they were entitled to • plain and distinct statement of what the law was ; and, on the other band, what were the acs by which the law had been infringed Now that did eat appear in the present case. That being the Mstsnorint of the matter, these two missionaries went to I ler Majesty's ambassador at Vienna. They represented that they were treated in the snot barbarous manner, that they wore sed•red to travel night and day, and being ac issesemed to sea the arbitrary dictates of that government Matted oat, bad obeyed without hesitation ; and all they asked was, to be persaittod to travel by easy stages.

Well, the ease was stated to this late government, and be must say that the dispatch of his noble friend, Lord Oranville,of Feb.l7,was one which he could not regard with hidings of satisfaction. Now, he did not blame his noble friend, because the house would well remember that when his noble triend's predecessor was removed from office one ed the meow alleged in that house was that he bad too mesh seeiblease I. his own opinions, and was not eufli silently anise the direction and control of the then first minister of the mew.. It was, therefore, very natural that Lead Grenville should under these eircumstsnces of the Feseige.ellke and being new in • certain degree to the bulersee th at department, it was natural that he should have ed very much hia own judgment to that of others; sa d dip dew& to which he gave his name must be ecieeiderea the despatch of the cabinet and not the despatch of his noble friend. Ile never saw a &spat& on such a subject so abject in its tone. Had the remonstrance been ons by a poor slave against some powerful Turkish heehaw it could not have been couched in language very different. After referring to the facts of the expulsion, the government admitted the right of the Austrian government to exercise what degree of toleration they pleued, and abstained from asking for redeem because the subject" of other countries had been similarly ill treaten—leaving the question of redress to the good feeling of the Austrian government. Without saying anything to give offence to that government, the case might have been stated in a way more likely to obtain redress. The present government had taken the question up on the same ground, but the AMID of public opinion had stimulated them to press I foe redress with more becoming vigour. (Hear, hear.) It Mr. STANFORD moved for a "return of all charges actually made by the retaruirg officer, or by his deputy, or by the clerk of the peace or town clerk, or by any other °Meer employed under the provision of the act 2 Will. IV., e. 45, ofcach county, city, and borough in England and Wales, upon each candidate at the general election of 14147 for such county, city, and borough ; distinguishing charges made on such candidates as did not go to the poll, and at any time subsequently at any vacancy for any county, city, or borough, during the present parliament." The house had lately sought to pat down corrupt practices; but every hon. ' member must know that the underlings of the returning officers invariably made candidates bleed as much as possi ble. (A laugh.) He spoke nut in his own interest ; he thought the less an honest man had to do with elections the better ; and unless a man could side with one or other political party he was better out of the house. Mr. HUME said the legal charges of the sheriff were very small. It rested with bora. members to see that they were not exaggerated. It was desirable that some means should be adopted of checking the-e accounts. (heer, hear.) Members ought to be returned free of expense, coming forward as they did to fulfil a public duty. (Hear, hear.) He had made a proposal to that effect; and until it was carried out there would be no remedy for the existing charges. It would he the best course, at the ensuing elec tion, for candidates to ascertain what were the legal ex penses, and refuse to pay anything beyond. Redid not see that there would be any advantage in pressing the mo tion, The return was ordered. It was ordered that the house at its rising should adjourn till half-past one this day. COFFEE. Mr. H. BERKELEY referred to a memorial which he had presented from dealers in coffee, and expressed a hope that the Treasury minute would not be rescinded. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he had yesterday received • memorial from all the large coffee dealers in London against the rescinding of the minute. It had not yet been rescinded, and would not be so till all the interests concerned were considered, including these of the chicory_growers in this country. H Mr. eME hoped that nothing would be done till the new parliament had had an opportunity of expressing their opinion on it. After a few words from Colonel THOMPSON, the subject dropped, and the house adjourned at a few minutes before four o'cleca. PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEES. STANDING ORDERS ON RAILWAT BlLLS.—Yca terday a specially appointed committee of the House of Lords, consisting of Lords Newcutle, Exeter, Normanby, Shaftesbury, Hardwick., Chichester, Hawarden, Canning, Itedesdale, Colchester, Sornerhill, Wrottesley, and Mont eagle, met to consider some proposed alterations in the standing orders of their lordship' house, and more portico. larly with reference to standing order HO, known as Lord Wharncliffe's standing order, the object being to ucertain the expediency of so far modifying it as to prevent the effect it is at present alleged to have in introducing " corrupt practices" in voting upon bills at railway meetings. Mr. Denison, M.P., Mr. Ouch, Mr. Saunders, and other lead ing railway representatives, were examined. The standing order in question provides that at any meeting of railway proprietors the bills before them shell be approved by at least four-fifths of these .present, for which number one. fifth is proposed to be substituted. The inquiry originated out of some transactions that have recently taken place at railway meetings, consequent upon which their lordships have called for a return of the number of bills in the House of Lords this session to which this standing order applied, the number of meetings held under it, and the number of oases on which a majority was not obtained to enable such hills to be proceeded with. MIITILOPOLIS WATT' SUPPLY COMMITTII.-011 Friday this committee, miter a sitting of between seventy and eighty days, and at the termination of the 16,426 th ques tion, rose without concluding their inquiry into the case of the Watford Spring Water Company's Bill, basing, with the exception of the Wendle Water Company's Bill, pared all the bills of the established water companies, the chairman stating that the committee would merely report to the house that they bad heard evidence on the Watford Company's Bill, without offering any opinion on its merits. RAILWAY BILL.—The Lords have agreed to the Shrews bury and Chester, York and North Midland, and South Yorkshire Bills. ever sums to mid* Vivre, 'incept during a short, period in the year 1848, when they retired for • season, in girder to avoid any imputation of meddling in the folitical • which then agitated Ilungary.

It moreover appears that in their several ministrations they adhered strictly to all existing laws, and that their converts from Judaism were uniformly received as members of the protestant communities which are sanctioned by the Austrian government, and that they neenpulously abstained from interference with the Roman esthetic persuasion. After having thus passed ten years peaceably in the country, Mears. Wingate and Smith were, on the Vith of January, summarily, and without CALM assigned, dismissed trout l'eath, and were compelled within aix days to dispose of their property, and with their wives and families to depart in the depth of winter from their homes. Although it is not for her l'elij.ety's govern ment to suggest what amount of religious toleration should be exercised in A , and although her Majesty's govern. ment are aware that measures as rigorous as the above have at 11111CfC11. times been applied both to protestant Austrian subjects, and to faeignere not subjects of her Majesty; and although her :Majesty's government have therefore thetainelfrom making a formal demand fur redress, yet her Majesty's government cannot thick it possible that the Austrian government should have been acquainted with the particulars stated above, when they ordered the hasty expulsion of these unolfendiug persons ; and I have there fore to instruct you, in bringing the matter under the notice of Prinee Sthwaraenberg, to leave it to the good Betimes of the Austrian government to decide whether they think fit te afford any compensates to these persons for the bodily suf ferings entailed on themselves and their families by their sudden removal at this inclement season, and for the love of property inflicted on them by the forced sale, amounting to almost confiscaton, of their effects. ' He called the attention of the house to that part of the despatch in which he said lie left it to the good feeling of the Austrian government as to what course they s could pursue, and what compensation they should make. He mentioned that, because on the 20th of March another despatch was written by Mr. Addington to Mr. Guthrie, in which be said : em directed by the Earl of alai:nes bury to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 17th instant, inclining a memorial from the Commission of the General Assembly of the Free Church of Scotland, on the subject of the expulsion from the Austrian dominions of certain protestant missionanes to the Jews. In reply lam directed to inform you that it appears from a prehmiaary coaversatiost on this matter between the minister at Vienna and the Austrian authorities, that the measure in question was adopted in pursuance of the determination of the Aus trian government no longer to tolerate any interference on the part of foreign missionaries with the religious belief of Austrian Jews. lam further to point out to you, that it is not for Her Majesty's government to dictate to the Austrian government what amount of religious toleration should be exercised in Austria, and that consequently her Mujesty's government have abstained from making a for mal demand for redress ; but I have to inform you that her Majesty's minister at Vienna has been instructed, in briniting this matter under the notice of the Austrian go vernment, to leave it to the good feelings of that govern ment to decide whether they think fit 'o afford any com pensation to the missionaries in question for the bodily suf ferings entailed oa themselves and families, and for the loss of property inflicted on them by the forced sale of their effects. To this demand no reply lea yet been returned by the Austrian government, but the Prime Minister promised to give the subj ct his immediate attention." Now, when that despatch wss read by the hon. and learned member for Youghal some week or ten days are, it was held up in terms of indignant reprobation ; the house was called upon to mark the cluing° in the foreign policy of the country, the unworthy manner in which the business of the foreign department was conducted, and the present Secretary of State for the foreign department was held up to the scorn of the country, but the house would see that the letter of Mr. Addington to Mr. Guthrie was nothing more, in fact, that, a repetition of the letter from lord Granville to Lord Westmoreland, and that they had, in fact, merely adhered to the wale line of policy which Lord Granville origina•ed. Well, now he came to the answer of the Austrian government, in which Count Buol says, "The British minister is informed, Ant, that Manna. Wingate sad Smith were from the Ant only tolerated in the exercise of their calling, and that therefore the withdrawal of this tacit toleration was always in the power of the government; further, that their removal only took place in consequence of clear evidence of their having repeatedly overstepped and transgressed the existing laws and regulations ; and that the imperial authorities only adopted this measure to avoid the necessity of adopting more stringent measures against them, namely, prosecuting them according to law. Under these circumstances, the competent imperial authorities And it impossible to admit :Messrs. Wingate and Smith's claims for compensation, and the Ministry for Foreign Affairs can, therefore, only ex press its regret to his Excellency the Earl of Westmoreland at being unable to return any more favourable reply to his application." And, again, in the despatch fro:u the Earl of Westmoreland to the Earl of Melmesbury, dated the 2Sth of May, in answer to the statements of the Rev. Moody Stuart, who advocated the case of these gentlemen, his lordship observed. " With respect to the statement in Mr. Stuart's letter, that the missionaries distributed Bibles and other books in Hebrew and other languages, but that they adapted their proceedings to alt existing laws, Count Buol remarked that as early as the 12th of March, 18.51, the application made to the Minister of the Interior to sanction the publication and distribution of Bibles through protes tant ministers and bookseller had been refused; and he conceives Messrs. Wingate and Smith must have been aware of this decision, which had been come to with no view of p ing the distribution of the Bible—for there is no restraint in Austria to its publication or sale by persons authorised to that effect—but to pre vent its being carried on by foreign agency, as it inter fered with the rights and privileges of their own subjects. ' Now, that was different from the observations of the hon. baronet that the distribution of the bible was looked on in Austria as so heinous an offence, that they would do every thing they could to prevent it. On the contrary, Count Boot said there was no restraint In Austria to the distri bution by persons authorised, but only to its being carried on by foreign agency. The hon. baronet had particularly called their attention to the case of Mr. Edward, which be said was more tyrannical and hard than the others ; that he had been compelled to leave the country at a short notice, and under circumstancesof considerable aggravation. Now, on reading these papers, he could find nothing which war ranted that statement of the hon. baronet. but that which led him to infer results of a vary digesting charac ter. What were the facts ?

The following letter ham been published : Charlwell, Westerham, June 24, 1852. "My Lord Archbishop,—l ask your Grace's permission to communicate to you i Mention of resigning my place in the committee of the National Society. It was at your Grace's suggestion that I first joined the committee; and it is only consistent with the deep respect that I bear to you that I should give you the first intimation of my purpose to withdraw. " This purpose has not been hastily formed. For the last two years—ever sines the exclusion of one member of com mittee, endeared to the society by years of faithful service, and recommended by his abstinence from all church par ties, and by the pollen's' and moderation of his views; and since the addition to the committee of other members, whose opinions seemed to me decidedly to lean to the extreme party in the church—l have felt my_ position within the committee painful and embarrawring. The addi tion, at the last annual meeting, of Mbar members, estimable and respected, but all whose sympathies are I pre aphend, with the same party, has increased these diffi culties. " My final decision, however, has been fixed by two recent acts et the committee. On the on. hand I wit nessed a memorial, in all the sentiments of which I did not concur, but which was expressed in temperate and respectful terms, and whose manifest object was to ex tend the inauenee and correct the defects of the Na tional Society, which was signed by nearly 3,000 names, of high mark and various opinions peers, members of the House of Commons, Secretaries of State, Vice- Presidents of the Society, eminent and earned mem bers of the church ; yet this, when presented to the committee, was by them coldly received, sharply cen sured, and dismissed without the hope or promise of ro dress—while, on the other hand, a memorial signed by a single name (a name which I can never pronounce without feelings of affectionate regard), the name of Mr. Keble, but taken as a symbol of a party, and as such accepted by the I com mittee—a memorial demanding inquiry into the coo -1 duct of the clergy which your grace did not judge to ho rea sonable, but for which, at least, no evidence was alleged was hailed and adopted by the committee and the grave advice on it, that the bishops should institute an investigation into the conduct of the clergy. When I sew this, I felt that the course of the com declared—that all hope of improvement rz was . society was vain, and that, as my position these wile be no longer useful, it became me to withdraw. "If I hays delayed announcing this decision, it was si l ly because I felt it due to myself to take suck a step with the utmost calmness, and after time allowed for mature mffieetion. " In withdrawing from the committee I must be allowed tet tender to your grace my grateful thanks for much un merited kindness, and to express, I trust without offence, a hope that the committee may one day be constituted so as fairly to represent the church, composed, like the episco pate, of persons of various shades of opinions, and that the National Society may thus ripe to a position worthy of its charter and its name, and be fitted to discharge the duties which that charter contemplates and enjoins-1 have the honour to be, my lord archbishop, your grace's most obe dient faithful servant, " J.

As the hour of trial approaches in which the strength of rival parties and opposing principles is tube put to the test, the importance of concert and union on the side of enlightenment and progress becomes more and more obvious. In many former struggles at the hustings, the popular party have been in the attitude of assailants. They are now on the contrary driven to take rather a posture of defence. Every point which has been gained in the onward march of the last ten years is now menaced by the present reckless usurpers of power. Liberty of trade and liberty of thought are alike hateful in the sight of tor . psm ; and both are accordingly threatened by its insolent chiefs. Protection for corn alone may be equivocally disavowed ; but in crealed import duties on the great articles of consumption in lieu of direct taxes upon property are the fixed object and aim of the juggling ilium cicrs who now sit at the receipt of imperial custom. It may suit a momentary purpose to pretend that, this is not the revival of protection in its ancient I form. But it is plainly intended to extinguish the vitality of free trade. The intention and the effect, were it accomplished, would be the same as the re establishment of monopoly in its most naked tbrin. It would paralyse enterprise, benumb industry, abridge the demand for labour, and limit the invest ment of capital, in order that land might be raised in value, and rents be further enhanced. Under the Disraelitish name of " a revision of taxation," the old oligarchic purpose would be as effectually at tained of making the rich richer, and the pour poorer. This is one of the gnat points of tory attack and of liberal resistance. But it is not the only one. The liberty of education is likewise openly assailed. The cabinet of Lord Dminv arc the pioneers of An glican priesteratt, that is, of priestcraft in the only form in which the people of this country have any real cause to apprehend its encroaching spirit. Shu ing and scheming about Maynooth, and mani festoes about Roman catholic processions, will not succeed in blinding the common sense of the commu nity to the real danger. itomish doctrines had never less hold of the national intellect or the national heart. It is not the aggrandisement of foreign eccle siastics we have need to watch with jealousy or to note with fear. The only conspirators against the liberty of the laity in this country are the certain priests of our own church, whose designs and schemes for the enslavement of thought and the establishment of a system of monopoly in education, have hitherto been held in check by the wisdom and firmness of those who have presided in the councils of the state. But other meu now occupy the seat of rule. The pious LONSDALE and the orthodox DISRAELI are now the chief shepherds of the flock. What sort of guardians they are Pkely to make, Archdeacon DENISoN and Mr. KEDLE say. With a majority in the new parliament it cannot be doubted that high church principles would be carried out in their full amplitude by the present administration. The freedom of the laity would be set at nought, and society would once .alts be rent to its very foundations. The spirit oP priestly domination is untaught and unteachable,— unsatisfied and insatiable. At every hustings in England the battle of the laity as against domi neering ecclesiastics and intolerance in education must be made the rallying cry, as well as freedom of industry and enterprise. To fight this two-fold battle as it should be fought, and to win it as alone it can be won, it behoves all sections of the liberal party "to close their ranks, " to proclaim a truce as to all minor or loc al feuds, and to combine cordially together for common safety and defence. We cannot too frequently reiterate the seeming that for the present our antagonists are the assailants. In such circumstances, division is defeat. Our ene mies know this, and are everywhere busily engaged in fanning the flames of petty and personal discord. In places where otherwise they would confessedly have had no chance whatever, they are endeavouring to set Whigs against Radicals, and Radicals against Whigs; and there are stupid or dishonest men in both sections whom they desire to make use of as their tools. Let such beware. They are playing a perilous part. Public opinion will not enter into the minute history of pique and petty provocations. Great interests and principles are in jeopardy ; and at such a crisis the man, let him call himself by what name he may, who is found parleying with the enemy, to say nothing of deserting, on some un worthy pretence, to his camp, must expect to hear the adhesive imputation of treachery and corruption associated with his name. Into county squabbles and municipal controversies we make it a point never to enter. Difference of opinion, expressed with warmth and maintained with tenacity, is the natural, if not inevitable concomitant of free institutions. Very often these differences are carried much further than they ought to be ; and impartial lookers on see grave cause to blame the intemperate zeal of upright and able men. But such troubles can only be left to settle of themselves. Interposition from without is an intrusion and is sure to be felt as Jrach, and is thus likely to do more harm thad good. For ourselves we carefully eschew the remotest semblance of it. But for that very rea son we feel that we are all the better warranted, and still the more bound to remonstrate openly when the occasion calls for it, with those who seem in danger of forgetting the cause of country and of 'onscience in the heat of their local contentions. The division of the Liberal party iu Westminster is likely to be most mischievous, for the a ce of Mr. CoNINOUAM as a candidate has ed forth Lord MAIDSTONE. Here a Liberal has effectually done Tory duty. At Brighton, Mr. FFOOKR is doing his best to send Lord A. HARVEY into parliament; at Greenwich, that self-seeking barrister candidate Mr. MONTAGUE CHAMBERS IS practically holding • brief for Mr. Hour ; whilst at Plymouth and Winchester similar political follies are being committed. It is bad enough for Liberals to quarrel anywhere, but to quarrel when the strife gives earnest of success to the opposite party is political suicide. We printed a list of places where Derbyites stand unopposed, and the catalogue included the names of more than a hundred towns and counties! Surely amongst the numerous constituencies so enumerated there are many where Liberal candidates are warmly desired. In such fields, the aspiring reformers now struggling one with another might much better have striven to win their parliamentary spurs, than in contests that can bring no real gain to them, whilst it endangers the cause to which they profess alle giance. Tux City of London hugged its darling abomina tion, Smithfield market, even while being torn from its embrace, with the frantic tenacity of a Spartan mother, whose hideous, but no less beloved offspring, was doomed to be removed from public sight for the public good. When tears and furious anger failed, cajolery succeeded. Every art that cunning could devise was employed to prevent the stench, and filth, and cruelty and blasphemy of the disgusting prolfgel from being removed from amidst the most densely populated spot in the world. If Smithfield were only allowed to stand where it did, the idolised nuisance should, it was promised, be enlarged and newly attired ; the city architect should be employed to convert it into a perfect Champs-Elysks of cattle-pens and slaughter houses. There should be model market houses, ele gant fountains, and a steam-engine to carry off foul air, the very existence of which had been theretofore denied. Tt:e mere quarter of a million of money to be thus expended was nothing compared with the agony of separating Smithfield Market from the City. Notwithstanding, however, every sort of argument and appeal, and intrigue, the Smithfield Removal Bill was passed; but, that the prospect of separation should be mitigated as much as possible, the City authorities were indulged with six months to consi der whether they would remove that Monster Nuisance themselves or get the government to remove it for them. At the last hour of the last day of grace they elected in their own favour ; and the supply of animal food to the whole metropolis still remains in the hands of the chief priests of the Smithfield Nui sance. As might be expected, therefore, the si'e they have chosen to which to remove the market is as near to the City as possible—is in a crowded London suburb, and is a spot where a veiy sma ll nuisance on the eve of being abated, will --if City schemes be allowed to prevail—be replaced by the more gigantic nuisance of a cattle market under City management. Few Londoners do not know, and few provineia:s have not heard of, Copenhagen-fields. 'flay lie at about a mile of direct distance north west of Smithfield. They were celebrated in the days of duck-hunts, badger-baiting, and do.. fighting—fur being, on Sunday mornings, the arena for those defunct latish'. At present the locality—although not wholly deserted by the sport. ing world,—is not nearly so much desecrated. h is pertly div ided off into cricket grounds; and one enclosure attached to a celebrated tavern has been converted into the beaten path of pedes trianism. It is at Copenhagen House that the Stunning Tramper, who challenges any man in Eng land to walk against him for fifty pounds a side, to be heard of." It is at the bar of that tavern that Dick the Dart's money is ready to run Jack the Lamplighter for any stake above twenty pound,, if Jack is " game" and can find backers. (tut, what. ever happens, even this arena will ' , Wm be closed in by a rapid invasion of bricks and mut i 21'. Doubtless the Market Commissioners will claim the credit of replacing this bearable and in any use short-lived sort of nuisance by a rattle market. but such a disclaimer must be disallowed, berana: a the leases of Copenhagen-fields and of other Aye tionable districts near to it arc fast expiring, and the ground upon which they stand has been plantad out for the occupation of villa residences; hun dreds of which—built and inhabited—have already swallowed up all but a narrow slip of these fields. The chance of perpetuating, in the midst of a thickening population, a vast nuisance in the place of a small nuisance on the eve of dying a natural death, the admirers of old Smithfield dared nut neglect; especially when they knew they had the power of doubling the abomination, by adding to a happy and contented neighbourhood, besides their congenial cattle market, the unendurable trades of slaughtering, gut spinning, t: ipe dressing, and other odoriferous branches of industry'. So eager have they been to secure a freehold in these nuisances, that they have not only been obliged to offer a great pric, 1.4 ground mai ked out for first-class building pure..,;., but have thought fit to offar to the present propri. etorl surveyor a handsome compensation—fur loss in having his plan for an elegant addition to an already respectably tenanted suburb superseded by a cattle-market. In other respects this site will be destructive and subversive of all those beneficial objects which the Smithfield Removal Bill contemplated. In order to keep off pestilence and to provide healthful recreation fur the dense population packed within the limits of the boroughs of Finsbury and Marylebone, certain active and benevolent inhabit ants of Islington—aided by Prince ALUERT and Lord CAULISLE, and the Finsbury members of Parliament —have succeeded in getting the sanction of the Legis lature for cmparking a tract of picturesque land stretching from llighbury to Stoke-Newington. Their intention was—besides keeping this large urea open as a sort of air-reservoir fur the supply of the crowds already encroaching upon it in new dwell ings—that this new Finsbury Park should remain connected with the Regent's 'Park by the broad and handsome road known as the Camden Villa-road. The proposed new cattle-market is to be placed ex actly between these two parks, and will effectuaily defeat all the sanitary good already effected. The main roads to each of them will be continually blocked up with cattle, in spite of a promise that ail the beasts aro to be brought to the new market by railway. But how will they be driven away ? As suredly by the good old system of goading, tail twisting, and dog-hunting through the best of the north-western thoroughfares of this busy metropolis. If the intention of the Smithfield Removal Act was to prevent the diseases occasioned by foul air from being generated amidst a swarming population, then the choice of Copenhagen-fields—so crowded it is on every side that some of the houses will hale to be taken down to make room for the spacious market—is a clear evasion of the act. Probably the adoption of the Islington Cattle-market—which is already built, and can (according to a plan published by its proprietors) be enlarged to $2 acres of extent—would be equally an evasion of the spirit and intention of that measure; but to spend:loMM. in planting a new market so close to one already existing, and in a locality almost as populous as Smithfield was at the beginning of the present cen tury, would be a wanton waste of money, a gross injury to existing property, and an unjustifiable de ception of the public. FRANCE. PARIS, TVEADAT EVENING. You may remember the sensation excited here some time ago by the refusal of the Porte to allow the Charlemagne, a French ship of war of 90 guns, provided with the screw-steamer apparatus, and I believe the largest vessel yet worked on this prin ciple, to proceed up the Dardanelles. A letter in the bebots, (the substance of which we published yesterday) explains the whole course of the negotia tions held upon this subject, and informs us that the Porte has ended by withdrawing its refusal. This result appears not to have been obtained without ex ercising much pressure upon the government of the Sultan. It seems that soon after the French admiral, ptomain-Desfosses, reached Constantinople, he intro duced, in a conversation with the Capitan Pasha• the subject of steam applied to ship: 0; war, and told that minister of the Sultan that he had an excellent opportunity now of ex amining the finest ship which had ever been bui:: on the screw principle, as the Charlemagne routi easily be brought to Constantinople. The Capitar Pasha no doubt pointed out the little difficulty tha: lay in the way of this proceeding, as it was impossi ble that he could beignorant, any more than the French ex-minister of marine, of the treats- of July 13, 1841, which excludes from the Dardanelles armed vessels of all nations, a treaty which cancelled the exclusive advantage obtained by Russia through the secret treaty of Unkiar Skelessi in her favour. The Capitan Pasha communicated the proposal to his col leagues, and Admiral ptomain-Destesses, according to the Debuts, experienced no difficulty on the part of any member of the Turkish cabinet to whom he mentioned the subject. In the meantime, the French government having Con sented to allow the Charlemagne to proceed to Constantinople, M. Sabatier, the French chug' d'affaires at Constantinople was instructed to applY for a firman to allow the ship to pass the Dardanelles The answer to this application was a note of th e Turkish government, refusing. upon the ground of the treaty of July 13, 1841, to grant the permission solicited. As the Charlemagne was already on her way out, expressly to get through the Dardanelles , the French government was vexed in the el creme at this disappointment, which was attributed to the suggestions of Russia and England. Therein, indeed, little doubt that the ministers of both those powers were consulted by the Porte on this question and it is equally clear that neither M. deTitott nor Sir Stratford Canning would counsel the infraction of a treaty of the greatest importance as regard , the maintenance of the integrity of the Ottoman Eimarc. Count Walewski in the meantime received instruc tions to demand from the British secretary of 1 . 0 7 reign affairs explanations as to the objections said to have been urged by the English ambesra dm Constantinople against the entrance of the Charle magne into the Dardanelles. What answer au given to the French government does not appal' It is, however, certain that every effort was 114 4 h eN to urge Prince Callimaki, the Turkish aruba•KaP. to use the most cogent arguments with his govern: ment for yielding on this point. Count Turgot 1041 . him plainly that instructions were on the of being sent to M. Sabatier, the charge d'affaires at Constantinople, to ne f mend in the meet pressing manlier the entranc e !' the Charlemagne, and in case of a refieal, inimetlistO to break off diplomatic relations. Prince Camas, despatched, without delay, a courier to his gore'''. ment, who arrived on the night of the I Ith et s at Constantinople. On Sunday morning, June M.
