Naples stock, however, fell • franc and a halE The Moniteur publishes a detailed account of the impale and exports of France during 1846, 1848, and 1847. The month of December, 1847, presents a diminution in the revenue from this source of more than 2,000,000 f., as compared with the same month in 1845 and 1848. Upon the whole of the year 1847 there is a deficit of nearly 20,000,000 f, comparatively ' with 1848. The report in the Monitetor upon the commercial navigation of France is also unfavour able. While the number of French merchant vessels 074 has, since 1848, been reduced by 618, those countries have been increased by 2,180. The team frigate Magellan has sailed from Toulon for La Plata, with an envoy, bearer of dis patches from the French Government The Madrid mails of the 21st have arrived. Ad dream of congratulation were salving daily from the peovinces to General Espartero. The general declined an invitation to attend at the inauguration of the new lesaista club. The question of inviting the ess of Montpensier to return to Madrid, con tinued to be discussed in political circles, but it was understood that the government would not take any step at present in that direction. The steamer Ville de Marseilles, which was so anxiously expected, arrived at Marseilles on the 23rd. As it left Naples two hours before the Sesostris, which arrived at Marseilles on the 22nd, and brought the intelligence we reported yesterday, not much that is important has been added by her arrival to the news we have already given of the proceedings in Sicily. Being, however, the regular mail packet, she has brought more ample correspondence, and supplies sow details of interest. k The provisional government Instituted at Palmlike insurgents was composed of persons of the character and influence in Sicily; as will be MR by the following list of members : —the Duke de Monteledne, who is known by his immense fortune, derived from Fer nand Cortes, of whom he is the last deltoid ant ' • Admiral Rugiero Settimo ; the Count Aceto ; and the celebrated advocate Morocco. The provi- Isional government had adopted measures to secure the maintenance of public order and the triumph of the cause ; its prudent arrangements have banished all fear of want of discipline and anarchy. Foreseeing the event of the royal troops again getting the tipper band, the provisional government had decided that, in such case, it will transfer the seat of its authority to a town of the interior, where it will continue to extend lite action over the island ; and has gone so far as to designate beforehand the members who are to succeed it if the chances of war should cause it to fall into the hands of the royal troops. The courage of the insnr- Ignite is already known; but it is gratifying to state the moderation which they have constantly manifested. Severaidetachmentsof the royal troops charged toguard the public establishments found themselves completely enveloped by the insurgents, who respected their weakness, and even left them at the posts which had been confided to them. The provisional government ratified this act of clemency, and provided daily ra tions for these soldiers. A great number of the fami lies of the soldiers, and particularly . of officers, were in Palermo. Not only did the insurgents respect them; they even forwarded to them the rations which have been sent from the fortresses. The troops en camped outside the town under Monte Pelegrino, before their retreat into forts and barracks, suffered cruelly from cold and hunger, not having been able to provide food and fuel in the town, where they found only enemies to reject them. In this state of things the; government sent from Naples 30,000 rations by the brig of war Principe Carlo, which was towed by a steamer. The insurrection maintained a purely de fensive attitude, waiting for the provocations of the enemy to reply to them. Only once the insurgents as sumed the offensive. This was at the moment when the troops abandoned their bivouac at the foot of Monte Pelegrino to enter their barracks, which the people conceived was an aggressive movement. In this attack the royal troops sustained considerable loss. The insurgents occupied all the gates of Palermo, at which were placed batteries of cannon sent from Tra pani and Termine. General Viale, military governor of Palermo, humiliated at the position in which he had been placed, made a vigorous attempt on the 14th to enter the town. For this purpose, he sent forward a strong column of infantry and cavalry, which made vain efforts to open a passage for itself, and become master of the Maqueda-gate. The people, wishing to avoid as much as possible the effusion of blood, waited for the first shock with silence. After having sustained the fire of the assailants, they replied by charges of mus ketry, grape-shot, and artillery, which made dread ful nivages in the ranks of the royal troops. The cavalry, in particular, was nearly cut to pieces in this san guinary con fl ict The son of General Vials, a captain of cavalry, was mortally wounded. The column soon beat a retreat, leaving numerous victims on the field of battle. Thus the garrison of Palermo, which, at the moment of the insurrection, was 8,000 strong, and which, by the reinforcements rom Naples, had been increased to 13,000, unable to oppose with success the progress of the insurrection. It was this desperate state of things which the Count d'Aquils, the King's brother, went to communicate at Naples on the 17th. After having received his account, the King summoned his council. to deliberate on the course to be adopted. The result of this deliberation was not known ; it was, however, almost certain that Sicily was in et position to obtain, one way or the other, the legitimate concessions which it demands. It w ould be easy for the King to disarm the insurrec tion by entering freely into the path of reform. The Sicilians desired nothing better than to sign, with the King's government, the pact of reconciliation. The Italian journals are filled with reports of the proceedings in Sicily ; but as these are generally no thing more than different versions of the events we have already reported, we need not here reproduce them. The Turin paper says that, at Palermo, the wife of a person named Peloro perambulates the town, at the head of 600 men, encouraging the citizens. The committee of government deliberates in the public square ; the town is well provided with provisions and money. The Austrian ministers and diplomatic agents hav ing refused to continue, as hitherto, to act for the Tuscan government at the different court' of Europe, the grand duke is about to send ambassadors to Lon don and Paris. Independent diplomatic agents doubtless be also sent to other places by the govern ment at Florence. The Gamlen Prieikgiata of Milan of the 16th dates that, on the 12th, the Central Commission of the pro vinces of Lombardy, named for the purpose of framing an address to the Emperor, recommending reform, adopted it unanimously, and presented it to the Vice roy on the 14th. The Risorgimento of Turin of the 22nd announces that Col. Moses has been sent to Tuscany, by the King of Sardinia, to instruct the troops of the Grand Duchy. It is stated in a letter from Turin that all the directors of the journals of that city were, on the 13th, summoned to the office of the committee of censor ship, where they were recommended to be more careful in their remarks upon foreign powers, in order that the government might not, by means of the press, be involved in unpleasant discusstons. Letters from Genoa of the 19th state that the call ing out of the contingent, which lately took place, has added 14,000 men to the military force, thereby making the total number of the army of the King of Sardinia 60,000 men. By a decree of the 15th the Grand Duke of Tus cany has ordered the immediate organisation of a new train of artillery for that purpose. Letters from Milan of the 15th supply a copy of the following order of the day, issued by M. Radeteki, the Austrian commander-in-chief : H.M. The Emperor, being fully. t ertined protect the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom, as as every to other part of his states, with all his power, and to defend it, as is his right and his duty, against every hostile attack, whether foreign or internal, has ordered me, by the organ of the president of the milk war council, to make this determination known to all the troops, now in quarters in Italy, adding that this u nshaken resoluton would meet with the most efficacious support in the bravery and faithful attachment of the army.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. Our Paris despatches of yesterday morning have arrived. After the brilliant debate of Tuesday, and veeches like those of MM. Thiers and Duchatel, the discussion of Wednesday, on the same" subject, had the flatness, and insipidity of a twice-told tale. In fact, M. Thiers bad exhausted the subject, and it were i better to have closed it. The ph on the finances which afforded the ground of the discussion, was adopted on Wednesday, as was also the third para esph, on the postal reforms and salt duty reduction. The spirit which animates the French government is indicated, in a very unequivocal manner, by the cold silence with which the noble struggle now main tained in Sicily is regarded by their organs of the press. The Debats of yesterday excludes from its columns all the details of the events in Sicily brought by the Ville de Marseilles, and gives extracts from two letters deploring the "dolorous spectacle of civil tsar." Not a syllable of admiration or sympathy is given to the generous actions we have related by the organ of the throne which has been erected by the beeves of the three glorious days. The feeling every where in Paris excited by the government is one of unmitigated disgust. The news from Naples had no perceptible effect on the French funds at the Bourse on Wednesday. The to the pesoeable and faithful citizens; woe to the mug who will dare attack with a criminal band the pesos of kepplisen of oar population.--Cotner RADIMILL, Field Martha (mean preptio).-818e8, Jan. 18, 1848. An order was issued to publish this proclamation is all the languages of the various nations composing the Austrian army. The Notional observes on this proclamation: Thai ravage reazdhsto wilt astonish civilised Europe. tau da is denims of madam sad is not even able to diet medate. We must hops that these infamous cut-throats will net have the last of it. They are blood-thirsty ; they seek kr, they provocate, murderous engsgementa. Before km& we firmly hope, they will repent of having defied jig** with this ferocious arrogance. On the evening of the 14th the municipality of Milan published a manifesto, inviting the citizens to maintain the ordinary habits of their life, end to be ware of those who, far from promoting the interests end desiring the proeperity of the country, endeavour to propagate rumours of disturbances. Due respect to the rights of every citizen in the bailie of social security, and of civil order; conditions, with out which the country could not progress in the path of ameliorations. This manifesto bears the signature of M. Casati, podestate ; of six assessors, and of M. Silva, Secretary. Our despatches from Berne of the 23rd have ar rived, but their contents have but little interest. The Zurich Gazette announces that the new consti tution for theValaii, end the degree for the assalaries don of the property of the convents, have been adopted by the popular assembly. The first, by a majority of 7,910 votes to 6,641 ; the second, by 6,622 to 1,366. A note from Austria, conceived in the same sense as that of the French Cabinet, was communicated on the 22nd to the Swiss Diet. It was decided that these two notes should be referred to the examination of a com mittee, which is to report its opinion of them. Several deputies expressed themselves on this occasion with a certain warmth on the pretension of the two Cabinets to intervene in the affairs of Switzerland, and seized the occasion to protest against the asser tions made in the tribune of the Chamber of Peers by Count de Montalembert. The assembly, with the exception of Neuchatel, voted unanimouslythe address to the army. This address, said the deputy of Friburg, will serve to refute the calumnious state ments made in foreign countries. The assembly was also to have occupied itself with the proposition of Berne relative to the amnesty ; but, the report not being ready, the affair was postponed to the next day. Since the foregoing was in type. we have our Paris letter of last evening, but it brings so domestic news of general interest.

We have received files of the Italian journals, and letters from various parts of Italy, through the Ger man mails, but they are all antecedent in date to the advice. we have already published, and supply but few additional particulars of interest. The ground of the report mentioned by our correspondent at Rome of the expected visit of the King of Naples to that capital, appears to have been the fact, that the King had charged the Duke of Serra Capriole with • mission to Lord Minto at Rome. These letters mention general reports of disorders and revolt invarions parts of Sicily and the Neapolitan provinces. The Italia, a journal of Pisa, of the 20th, mentions • report that Austria, on the refusal of the Pope to allow troops to be marched through the states of the church, made a like demand of the Tuscan government, which that journal trusts will meet with a like reply. The Patri a , of Florence, of the 20th, mentions the reported arrival of two estafettes with the news that Naples had risen, and that the King had retired from that city. As we have letters direct from Naples to the 18th, this report must be at least premature. The Italia of the 20th says, that the commander of the British fleet stationed at Palermo had signified to the commander of the Neapolitan steam flotilla, which was moored before the town, that, at the first cannon fired on the town, the British vessels would fire on the Neapolitan squadron, assigning as his reason the necessity of protecting British property and /ob jects in the city. A letter from Genoa, published in the Turin papers, affirms that the insurgents at Palermo were supplied with muskets from two British vessels which were anchored in the harbour. delivered *ma tip Wand Ito the hanis. of g= Tare, graham, an aneetuogisig in no swathes! guffiselar, I recut is my, the condition of pear country appear to me to differ from diet of the treaties of Limed* and Clan.

We have been engaged for nearly throe weeks in administering the criminal law in the counties of Limerick and Clare, and dude; that tiou_with very, very few steeptions, the soma wired ltasmm imam dthe lower have not been persons of rank, or opulence, or power, t they have been persona of the very clue sad rank by whom these arociations, these conspiracies, have been supporti end they themselves have become the victims of the power which they created for the destruction of =ken. say, with deep regret, that the scenes which we have wit nessed lumeimpressed upon my mind the melancholy truth that demoralisation exists to a greater extent end to a much greater degree than I had anticipated when I opened this commisaion. It can answer no purpose to go into details— they can be read by those who wish to be informed upon the subject in the reports of the trials that have taken place under this commission ; but I will shortly, and in few words, say that, however life has in seme places become the subject of barter and price fixed for it, we have witnessed the attack upon human life—we have witnessed the preparation for that attack, the consummation of the outrage, the escape of the murderer, and the conspiracy—with scarcely an attempt at secrecy. We have seen a conspiracy to murder plotted and planned, many persons present, women, children, whale families privy to it. We have seen the assassin hived and brought from a distance ; we have seen him and his com panions stalk abroad in daylight, in a populous country, armed, scarcely disguised, and perhaps known to every man who saw him. We have seen the victim approach to the place where the assassin lay in ambush—no voice to warn him—no hand to protect him—the bloody deed itself per petrated in the eye of human creatures ; yet, after all that, the remain has walked off unobserved, undetected—nay, u if to consummate the foulness and infamy of all this horrible mans of turpitude, the murderer has been housed, protected, and preserved for further deeds of destruction. I scarcely can trust myself with giving you—but I will give you one ease in the simplest words I can convey it to you. A man's house was attacked. He prosecieed the assailants to conviction, and his life being known to be in danger he was afforded the protection of the police during the night. The police left his house at eight o'clock =the morning, and he causually, fortunately, went out, leaving in his house his wile and daughter, and a child in a putrid fever. Three amerias walked in the broad day, observed by the whole world, entered his house—their victim was not there—they shot the wife—they battered her brains out with a musket— they threw her on a burning fire. This is bad enough ; but will you believe that after it occurred they went into the sick boy's room, raised him from the bed of sickneu in their arms, put him against the wall, and shot him dead. Gra cious heaven ! would that these things were not, or that we could expunge them from our memory ! Yes, there seems to be the spirit of demons let loose upon the land. The spirit of vengeance rages without control and without limit ; and no wonder, because these crimes are extenuated, and pallia ted, and excused—nay more, the saying has gone forth, "The wild justice of revenge," which has now obtained credit and currency, as if it were a great moral truth. Now not to dwell upon the audacious impiety of prompting men I to arrogate and to exercise that which belongs only to man's Maker—without stopping to dwell upon the profanation of the sacred name—the spirit of justice issuing with the idea of ge--see what that precept means, and is understood to mean. It means this—that murder is jest —that rapine is just—that cruelty is just—that crime, every crime is just—provided only that revenge be the motive, and its gratification the object. Just think that such a precept as this should have been issued to our ignorant, tur bulent, excitable, fellow-creatures—how do they under stand it ? They understand it as it was intended it should be understood. Every man becomes the judge of his own wrongs and the avenger of his own wrongs, and truly the consequences are what have been expected. The inno cent falls by the arm of an assassin ; and the assassin, and the aseasesory, and the conspirators, in their turn, fell by the arm of the law. Now, gentlemen, why is it that I have addressed you ? First it is because, although I hope matters are not AO bed with you, I fear that in many places they are so ; and, being so, I would impress on your minds, u preliminary to what lam about to suggest—l would ask you whether this state of things is not absolutely intole. Table ?—whether it can be endured ? and I would then ask you, is there any exertion too great, any sacrifice too great, any price too high to pay in order to get rid of this dreadful evil and to subetitute the permanent blessings of tran quility and order I know you will answer that no price h too greet, no sacrifice excessive, provided that import ant object can be accomplished. Now, gentlemen, as far as regards the administration of the eriminal law, and as far as regards the prevention of crime by the terror which its punishments inspire, nobody has a stronger degree arum= and confidence in the administration of the leer and in thou means than I have. And further, nobody can doubt the necessity of vindicating the law by the utmost exertions of his power. The exertion which is now being made, and which lam happy to say, as far as our experi ence goes, has been proved to be attended with encore. But I am perfectly confident of this—that even if the law by itself, and the terror of its punishments, were adequate to the complete superthin of these outrages, you could not calculate no more than a temporary 061111141011 of them ; and' the experience of your own country, and this county in particular, tells you th at, no matter how exemplary may have b een the administration of the law, from time to time, as it a flame but smouldered, crime has broken out in renewed and increased vigour and violence. There fore, in my judgment, the effectual suppression of; these mischiefs at this moment, and the preven tion of these recurrences, require the association and co operation of those who are the friends of peace and order. You re what the power of combination is for evil. Yon should try what le the power of combination for good. I would humbly suggest the formation of associations to pre serve the peace in parishes or lesser districts, and that to those aseociatians every man should be admissible who chose to become a member of them. I enter not into the details of their operation, the mode by which they may be auxiliary to the police, and the manner in which they may be brought to bear on the suppression or prevention of crime; but of this I am perfectly enured, that there are no mum immediately within your power, and of those of the friends of order and pore, that are so i mmediately capable of being put in execution, or are so likely to be effective=g ,in execution. I dare say I will be told there are ' and I admit there are difficulties. It may be said *Ma in some prose, the farmers, and people of that elem, rota be prev a iled on to unite and associate for the of the peace. At all events, the trial can be maciT, lmr anr i tre remit of the trial will be this—that it will be known who an the fronds of place and of order, and who are its enedies, and who are neutral. And let me tell you that there Is at this moment a law of peculiar cogency, and cal colleted to give peculiar effect to the exertions of the kind which lam suggesting ; for it should be known that, if the people of a district will not preserve the peace themselves' by their own exertions, that it is in the power of the Lord- Lieutenant to send into such a district any polies force he thinks proper, and the expense of maintaining that force must be defrayed by the payers of grand jury ere • so that, if men will not come forward to preserve th e peace, they must pay to have it preserved, end pay largely. But there is another matter connected with the same subject that may now properly be adverted to. It is perfectly well known in other places, and I dare say it is the case in this county, that the disturbances of the public peace acquire a great deal of their influence—and certainly the means and power of coatinuing their outrages—by the protection they receive from farmers and people of that class. Now, let it be known,. that, to give protection and Ruppert to criminals , is criminal to a high degree. In the county of Limerick three persons were convicted of the crime of being accessories after the feet, or, in other words, harbouring felons, knowing them to be so ; and the consequence of that conviction has been that one of them, whose moral turpitude in the transaction exceeded that of the others, has been transported for life, while the others have, under the merciful interference of the crown, been sentenced only to imprisonment for a considerable period. They submitted to the charge and put in affidavits in mitigation, end the Attorney-General considered that they entitled him and warranted the court in mitigating thew punishment, and they were only sentenced to long imprisonments. The other, who was tried and convicted„ has been transported for life. Let, therefore, the fate and name of William Frewen, that transported convict, make, es it ought to de, a deep end lasting impression upon persons of this des. Let It teach them that their duty is to unite for the support ofjite law, and not to withhold from the law the persona wrahave violated and made them selves' amenable to its punishments ; and I cannot help thinking that this state of the law, now distinctly ascer tained, and the punishments thus publicly recorded, may have some influence upon the minds of thou who I th ink ought to join is the preservation. of peace ; and es they can no longer continue the Illegal peaches of harbouring parties amenable to the law, it as high time, I think, for them to stand span the part of law, order, td &nth= and their sahty preseribee the ono emu. whir* duty usher.

SPECIAL COMMISSION. COUNTY TIPPERARY. CLONMEL, JAN. 24. The grand jury having been sworn, the Lord ChiefJuatioe addressed them as follows :—Geatlemen of the grand jury for the county of Tipperary, I regret that the state of ton nes' in the eounty of Limerick prevented us from meeting you at the hour originally appointed for opening the com mission. We have done all in our power, and with moues, I hope, to avoid personal inconvenience to you by the alter ation of the hour at which we have been able to meet you. The duties you have now to discharge are those which ordi narily are peformed by you at the assizes ; but each bills only as her Majesty's Attorney-General shall think proper to intrust to you will be brought under your consideration ; and in disposing of those bills I have only to repeat, what you must have so often heard, that it is your duty to find the bills upon such evidence as,. if un oontradicted, would warrant a special jury in finding the prisoner guilty. This is the last county in which, as I un denten& it is proposed the powers of this special commis. mission shall be carried into execution. The delay in coming here I trust will be compensated by the publicity which the proceediags in the counties of Limerick and Clare have already obtained, and by the ample time there has been allowed for serious and salutary reflection open those pro ceedings. Indeed this commission has attracted such intense interest, that there can be no doubt that the disturber of the public peace, and those who have aided them, or who are the authors of those disturbances, are already very well aware of what has been done—of how much has been suf fered, and of how much remains to be suffered. Hardened, indeed, must they be in guilt, irredeemably abandoned to wickedness—if they can view without consternation and dis may the irresistible power of justice in the terrible punish ments of those in whose footsteps they are treading, and whose fate it is now for them to decide whether they will follow or avoid. But amongst the delusions which wicked men have practised on themselves, or which have been pro tisol on them by others, the hope of impunity or escape, which rested on the belief that through terror juries would not do their duties, enough, and more than enough, has occurred to show how utterly vain—how utterly groundless is such expectation. In the counties of Limerick and Clare the constitutional tribunals of the country have dis charged their duties with firmness and conscientiousneee— unmoved by for—unexasperated, as if all around them was repose and peace. In almost every case that has been tried there has been a conviction. And why ? beano in almost every case the charges were supported by . a mass of evi dence which made the conviction of . the prisoners a matter admitting of no doubt—evidence given by witnesses who spoke the truth, and spoke it fearlessly. And from three eases it augurs favourably with respect to those counties and to their prospects, became in the conduct of those witnesses I think at last I see a returning confidence in the power and authority of the law, and also a resistance to the opus- Sion which We at least boom* so intolerable se to awake and to arouse men to self-preaction and self-defenn ; and circumstances of the same kind have transpired in numbers of the trials I have adverted to, where in many of those eases it will be found that families, with intrepid bravery mod complete succor, have rained the atones of assaidaate upon their habitations—have detested tholes attache—hoe is 90.1111 balsams sada pciessai of the similista, Yd "~~, fsw wards.

CHURCH OF ENGLAND TRAINING SCHOOLS AT CHELTENHAM. A public meeting, in behalf of the New Training Schools at Cheltenham, was held on Thursday last, at the town-hall in that town, which was crowded by a highly re spectable and numerous auditory. Henry Rayne, Esq., having taken the chair, the Rev. F. Close ad dress ed the meeting at great length. He expressed himself in favour of government inspection, and stated that the friends of the school had succeeded in obtaining promises to the amount of 6,0001. towards the building, and they would be obliged to obtain 2,0001. or 3,0001. more before next June, or the go vernment would not advance the 3,0001. which they bad pro. mimed. Mr. Close concluded by moving the following reso lution : `• That this meeting has heard with deep interest the details of the plans and prospects of the Church of England Training School established in this town, cordially concurs with the design, and pledges itself to promote its complete accomplishment by all desirable means, in dependence on the blessings of that (Sod whose special providence appears, iinngs. • remarkable manner, to have watched over its proceed- Twomas BODLEY, Esq., seconded the motion, which was adopted unanimously.

FREE TRADE BANQUET AT MANCHESTER. BY EXPRESS. (From the Daily News.) A great free-trade demonstration took place lut evening, at the Free-trade Hall, Manchester, " to celebrate thp return to parliament of those distinguished advocates of r ecdnenercial freedom who have been members of the National Anti-Corn-law Lesgue," and a large and most brilliant as sembly was drawn together on the occasion. Upwards of 2,500 ladies and gentlemen were present. Ate few minutes put seven o'clock the chairman, George Wilson, Esq., entered the Hall, accompanied by the t i r;- ciptl guests, among whom were Richard Cobden, M.P., the Right Hon. Thomas Milner Gibson, M. ~ Thos. Thornely, Esq., M.P., J. P. Pilkington, Req., hI.P., Wm. Bereft, Esq. M.P., John Dixon Esq., M.P., B. A.

Brotherton, Esq., M .P., G. Thom 7, Esq., M.P . .,!J. Williams, Esq., M.P.. R.Gardner, Esq. .P., and the Mayors of Manchester and of Ashton, besides many gentlemen who took a distinguished part in the agitation of the corn-laws. These gentlemen were received with pro- longed cheering. William Brown, Esq., M.P. ' Alexander Henry, Esq., H . P., James Hey w ood , Esq., and J. A. Roebuck, Esq., were expected to be present soon after ten o'clock, which was after our express had left. The CHAIRMAN—Ladies and gentlemen, In rising before this vast amiably, I cannot refrain from expressing my re gret that the committee had not chosen some other and more fitting person to occupy the position which they have called upon me to take this evening. (No, no.) I trust, however, to your kind indulgence for support. Gentlemen, the chief object of this meeting is , uyou are all aware to celebrate the return to parliament of those gentle men: who have brought this great seta. tion to a successful termination by the Anti-Corn-Law League (cheers), and I think no one who reflects for one moment upon the character and composition of this audience can say that it is unworthy of them, am they are most worthy of it. (Cheers.) In the first plops, this is not merely a local meeting. I see gentlemen upon the platform honourably known is their respectiee lambdas for services rendered t their fellow-con trymen whose names will be found in the list of vice-presidaita (Hear.) It is not a movement due only to one man; we do not meet here to celebrate a victory obtained by one constituency, but by • number of constitheedee— not to record a triumph, carried to a seseessful issue, in a small pocket boroath—bat to record the triumph obtained by the people of England—one unexampled in the history of any previous election. Gentlemen, these has not been an election more remarkable in the mere selection of candidates. Why, we have been told that all the forms and usages of election have been set at de fiance in the return of many of the chief candidates. My answer to that is this, that if all the established customs were made absolute, no earthly objection can be advaaoed to ear improving them at the first opportunity, so far as we are concerned, if they are bad. Then it has been said, " Did any person ever hear of anything so discreditable as that two ennmercial representatives should be chosen to represent a county ? " Why I have looked through the Reform Bill, from the title. page to the printer's name at the end, and I have never seen any clause which said that any person whom the people chose to return should not be their representative. I see nothing in the Reform Bill which says that we must have agricultural representatives. We take them as we find them ; and they are placed in that position because the people like them. (Applause.) Well, then, it is said you have selected men whose great-grandfathers were (Laughter.) It is quite possible such has been the ease—l dare say that it is so. The men who have been so honoured b their fellow-countrymen may not have been dis•ngahhefl by their birth—that is quite pos sible—they may ass have bean monsated by a long lineage with the aristocratic Oaf of representatives of this country. It is very likely that they are not connected with those families from whom ee.didates have been usually selected. But it is a poor GOmpessilion for a coustitheney to found their claims for rstaming a representative, on his being connected with ems peat family in this country. (Hear, hem.) It is se mespensation to Immr that one man, or any one reprammativit, rate his qualification upon the culture of manisi-eatnel nod turnips—(laughter)—for many iweYsas The men the have made choice of rest sum =z s at ups Vika, for their qualification. a ?1: 1 8. lowa bean sub that the wisest and beet this very seh eseiney Wes led when the names of than man have Won menthes' belies than.

Why, we find that those *nei ghs. eqpnwied so often in this hall, weregenerally believed may, sontrally admitted and adopted, by very many who peesented theinaelves for re-election. (Applause.) The woes' of the free-trade tariff of Sir Robert Peel was ad mitted by almost every one, except the mast extreme moto r:diem, whose little notes ware scarcely reported in the public papers. (Hear.) The success of the free trade tariff of America has been equal to that of Sir Robert Feel in this country. (Hear.)

I do not think that they will even doe to blame Lord John Russell much if be does that which I think he ought to do—suspend the oorn laws until they are finally abolished in 1849. (Great applause.) Bat they will fight us upon the navigation laws. Well, we will fight them upon the navigation laws ; and, as with the corn laws, so with the navigation laws, our friends will meet them, and, with a long pull and a strong pull, we will defeat them. Then they will tight us on the West India interests, and our friends will meet them upon that, too— (applause)—and, defeat them upon that, u upon other questions. (Cheers.) The CH&IIIIIAN, after a brief interval, again rote and said—Ladies and gentlemen, the first toast I have to propose this evening is "'the Queen : may her reign be long, peace ful, prosperous, and happy •." and I propose that we give it heartily, and with three cheers. (Duly honoured). ELYANLIL AILKITAGE, Esq., the mayor of Manchester, then, at the 101 l of the chairman, rote amidst cheers, to pro pose the next tout. He said—The country is deeply in debted to the gentlemen whose holths I am about to pro pose. I will not detain you by attempting to describe in what manner we are indebted to them. lam lure you will cordially agree with me , for their works already accomplished, have convinced every one, as they have con vinced me, of their invaluable labours. (Cheers.) I will give you " The Free Trade Members of both houses of par liament: sinew to them in their endeavours to complete the overthrow of all monopolies." (Loud applause.) The tout having been duly honoured, The Right Hon. T. MILNER 0311130 N, M.P., rose to return thanks. He was received with reiterated cheering. After the applause had subsided the hon. gentlemen pro ceeded. He said, Mr. Chairman and ladies and gentlemen, as one of the free trade members alluded to an the tout which has been submitted to you by our worthy mayor, I beg leave to return my warmest acknowledgments for the honourable and kind manner in which the toast was given, and for the reception which it has met with; and in expressing myself in these words, I feel that on the part of my colleagues, the other free trade mem bers in the House of Commons, I am but stating to you what, if they were now addressing you, they would state themselves, that they feel deep ly the kind manner in which the sentiment has been received. (Hear, hear.) I feel, ladies and gentlemen, not altogether nee from diffidence in attempting to address so im posing an assemblage as is now gathered within this spacious hall. I ought perhaps to feel some thing like the old hunter dog, when he hears the sound of the born, as on the first tame I had the honour of addressing a meeting in the Free-trade Hall. (Cheers.) But I can assure you when I reflect that there are persons here who, from experience and from reflection, have possessed themselves with an intimate acquaintance with the im portant subjects we have met here to discuss to-night, I can not but once more express to you my full. ngs. no 4 however free from tome embarrassment, for which I an sure I shall receive your indulgence. (Hear, hear.) I have felt it my duty to be among my constituents to-day, upon this important oocuion. (Cheery.) I hare felt it a duty paramount to all other considera tions ; for although the Anti-Corn-law League is now dissolved, and many of its members have been re turned to parliament, and in honour of whose return we have assembled here to-day—l say, though that league has been dissolved, I can look back with satisfaction to having been • member of that great intelligent combination of men —(loud applause)—which, by the force of reason and instruc tion, formed the instrument namely, public opinion —with which the minister of the day was able to abolish that odious monopoly, the monopoly of corn. (Applause.) I look back, I say, with pride and satis faction at having been a member of that associa tion, and to having aided, in whatever humble manner it was is my power, to aid those efforts ; and still I glory that those efforts were crowned with success. (Applause.) Ne vertheless I cannot but feel that at this moment I am ad dressing an assemblage in Manchester daring • time of great depression of trade—during a time, no doubt, of great anxiety among many engaged in commercial pursuits, and at a time when a greet struggle has been passing on, and which we have not yet entirely escaped hem. (Hear, hear.) But my allusion to this depression of trade is with a view of expressing my opinion that the free trade policy his nothing to do with producing this depression—(Applause)—but that it would be much greater had not these free-trade measures been carried. (Loud applause.) It is to be hoped that, although the present moment is one in which confidence is much shaken in the commercial world, yet that there are apparent certain elements upon which we have • right to calculate in reference to future prosperity. (Hear, hear.) If I am rightly informed, the stocks of manufactured goods are moderate. We have • low price of all raw material of manufacture; and we have, I hope, a prospect of a moderate price of provisions. We have all these things before us, and with the restoration of confidence, it is, I trust, no toe sanguine an expectation for me to ay that there will be a restoration of prosperity. (Loud applause.) But let me ask those who impute to free trade policy that the distress has been caused thereby—that the late distress has been caused by the adoption of the free trade measures which have passed through parliament,—let me ask them to speak in intelligible language, and indicate any one tax, or any taxes, which, had they not been taken off, would have prevented the misfortunes which have lately U r t d b:e i n ? reitintehdewonpoitte to any w du o t u y ld w t z i . a c ti tended to mitigate in the least the late dinner. Is it the repealed duty on cotton, the repealed duty on wool, or the repealed duty on glue ? And during • time of famine would it have been wise to retain the duty upon articles of subsistence ? Let them, I say, point out the articles upon which the former duties ought to have been retained. (Hear, hear, hear.) We are accused also of having advocated a policy which has impaired the revenue. Can gentlemen who make these assertions have drawn a comparison between the income of the country now, and the income of the country before the free-trade policy: commenced—namely, in 1842—taken in connexion with the alterations which have been made in the taxation of the country ? What are the facts ? The income of the country, as made up to the sth of January, 1842, the last statement which was submitted so the country under the protective system, amounted to something like 47,500,0001. The income of the coun try, similarly made up to the sth of Jan., 1843, amounted to the BUM of 44,300,0001. ; and what was done with the system of taxation in the mean time ? Why, it ie true you put on an income tax, in 1842, amounting to 5,500,0001. a year ' • but, on the other hand, you took o ff custom and exams duties amounting to upwards of 8,000,000/. Yoe on 5,500,0001., and you took off 8,000,0001., leaving a of reduction to the amount of 2,500,0001.; and yet you returned in 1843 • rester income by 2,500,0001. ins In 1842 (Hear, hear.) There can be nothing very telten in a policy which, by the reduction of duties, Us immured the revenue of the country ; and let it be remembered that this policy was commenced in 1842, dee you had tried the p olicy of attempting to raise the income of the country by adding to the custom and OWN duties. By direct taxation instead of indirect taxation you will develops the trade and industry at the country. There is another charge which has been brought against us with reference to the imports and exports of the country. It is said that we have imported to a far greater extent than we have exported. I reply, so meth the better. It shows that there is so much the more profit derived from it. Bat really, when we have been so much abused by the organs of the protection party—and we have been told that we are such wretched prophets that we have let out many expectancies that have ended in disappointment—l cannel restrain myself on this occasion from saying a few words in defence of the policy of which I was, and am still, the ar dent supporter. Talking of prophets, are we to forget the propheaes which took place amongsttkie protectionists,ttutt all the fair lands of England were to be thrown out of cultivation, that the hest estates would be reduced to rabbit warrens— be tenanted bywild fowl and grams Are we to forget them prophecies 1 Do you forget the alarming menace let out by a noble duke, which menace I related to you when I bed the honour of sneering before you in the Free-trade Hall in 1839 I- do; you forget that alarming threat—that when the torn laws were repealed he for one would leave his native land nevermore to return--(litagliter)—that if the corn laws were abolished Ragland would not be worth living in But let us tengratelatis ourselves that we still have that noble deka stmonget es, sad that be has set yet left We who ahem I aodl bops he milling Ave within then hp disc mercantile sag s 'sentry.
