However much the divisions which unhappily prevail in the New World are to be deplored, we repeat that they are the inevitable result of the wretched system of Government adopted by Spain in the management of her old Colonies—thus furnishing another striking proof of the evils entailed on society by tyranny and despotism. When the facility with which our own Colonies of North America settled into freedom and inde- pendence is contrasted with what has occurred among the infant republics of the Southern Hemisphere, there is at once cause for triumph and a powerful philosophic argu ment in favour of liberal institutions and social guarantees. With respect to Columbia and Mexico, by far the most important sections of the new world, we do not for a moment doubt that those elements of greatness and pros- parity which they possess in so pre-eminent a degree, will be developed in due time. They are now, like those States which have gone before them, passing through the gradations which have, in all ages, accompanied a tran sition from slavery to freedom. Since it seems to be the wish of the Venezuelans to separate themselves from the system established by the LIBERATOR, we trust the event may pass without bloodshed, and that men will be found capable of assuming the reins of the new Govern- ments with firmness and effect. We call the particular attention of our readers to the letter addressed to PA Et by the LIBERATOR. The noble character of Botiv R, and those generous sentiments which have ever distin- guished him, breathe in every line. It is a reply and re futation of all the calumnies so industriously circulated against this great man, and benefactor of his country, whose treatment affords a fresh instance of the folly and ingratitude of mankind. There is no exaggeration in in asserting that the debate of Wednesday night on the motion of Lord PAL MERSTON, for papers relative to our negociations with Portugal, was by far the most important which has ever taken place on the subject. It has, indeed, left nothing to desire on the part of those who feel any interest in the question at issue. It only requires a cursory glance at the debate, to be convinced that nothing could be more decisive than the triumph of the Noble mover and his friends. It would be impossible to do justice by any analysis we could give to the talents displayed, and truly English sentiments expressed, by speakers who sup ported the motion. They will, like ourselves, derive infinite consolation, at this period of difficulty and distress, from the reflection that while the foreign policy of Ministers has done such incalculable mischief to the best interests of the country, there are still some men within the walls of Parliament, not in sensible to our degradation in the eyes of foreign states, nor without anxiety to apply a remedy. The speech of Lord PALMERSTON abounds in facts and argu ments which must convince the most incredulous, that it is to the policy of Ministers alone, the Portuguese nation is indebted for the destruction of the charter, and usurpa tion of MIGUEL. This fact, so disgraceful to the na tional character of England, so injurious to her political and commercial interests, was still farther corroborated by those who followed on the same side. If disposed to make a distinction where all acquitted themselves so well, we should point to the speech of Mr. Huse tssox as a model of excellence, whether as regards the line of argument adopted by the speaker, or the liberal sentiments which it breathes. There is one feature in this memorable debate, which ought not to pass without notice. Instead of attempting to mix up the question with any personal feelings against Ministers, the speakers relied altogether on the strength of argu ment derived from undeniable facts. It is imams to say how powerfully such a course was calculated to operate on the House and the public. So far as the House is con cerned, it may be seen in the number who voted for the production of papers. Indeed, when the composition of the Honourable House is taken into the account, we may safely hail the minority of Wednesday night as a virtual majority. Whatever course Ministers may pursue, we congratulate the Portuguese patriots, and the frionsis of justice generally, on the result. To the noble mover, the best thanks of his country are due. However much she may have suffered from the change which threw Lord PALMERSTON out of office, it is very doubtful, whether he would ever have displayed those high talents and exalted sentiments, as Secretary at War, which have now placed him in the first rank of her states men and patriots. As we anticipated, the public meeting of Monday last has excited great dudgeon on the part of those who are anxious to preserve " things as they are." After having been treated with silent contempt for some days, a violent tirade appeared in the soi-disant ministerial organ of last night, and has been copied into a morning paper of to day, not less devoted to the ministry. Without entering into a detailed reply to the vulgar ribaldry which per vades the article in question, we shall merely say, on somewhat better authority than the writer, that the pa triotic member for Clare never made use of the words attributed to him by the treasury scribe. He did not say that " every body should be represented." His words were, that all those who paid Taxes ought to have a voice in returning Members. "It is not bullocks, nor sheep, nor insensate acres," added Mr. O'Cow I; ILL, " that ought to be repiesented ; but the PEOPLE." — The writer labours to prove that there was bad taste in the whole speech. We can only say, that so far as the loudest plaudits and most flattering reception we ever witnessed of any public man, went, there never was a more unequivocal proof of triumphant success. To this suc cess, and the orderly character of the meeting, we have no hesitation in ascribing the silence of the Times and the virulence of the Courier. The resignation of Mr. CON VMS yesterday, settled —at least for this Parliament—the fate of the county of Essex. As the House of Commons is at present con• stituted, we do not know that it signifies one straw , looking at the corruption which sits there in the aggr gate—whether one pure Member, more or lees, find his way within its abandoned walls : but we do not feel the less the particular degradation of Essex, to have been betrayed --as it undoubtedly has been—into the return of such , a man, as he who was chaired yesterday by the servile. of Chelmsford. Regarded in that light—but in that light only—the retirement of Mr. Lowo WELLESLEY has certainly left the county in a painful and humiliating predicament. Had he continued the contest, there is no doubt he would have been returned. He possessed— not less in himself than in those around him—all the " means and appliances" of success, and his withdrawment, if we understand it rightly, was as mistaken as it was precipitate. Why, look at Con- YEW! now: if—as it is affirmed—he insisted upon WELLESLEY'S retirement, because of some pledge which that Honourable Candidate was supposed to have made him at Copt Hall, how will he—Mr. COWYERS-rjustify his own abandonment of the county, which he induced Mr. WELLESLEY to relinquish, on the distinct under-* standing that the poll against Colonel Bits mwrow was to be kept open to the latest hour allowed by the law? After exacting from WELLESLEY such a sacrifice as that, what I has the 'SQUIRE of Copt Hall to urge, in defence of his own secession four days afterwards ? Financial white-fea therisni—we see plainly—overtook both these candi dates: with this difference, however, that Mr. CON TERI thought that he might buy the county too dear, whit Mr. WELLESLEY only doubted the sufficiency of that purchase-money with which he came provided. Thus, then, has the County of Essex been twice be. trayed in one election, and sold to the devil at last. The new member is the most obsequious and compliant crea ture of the ministry ; and though it does not matter one brass farthing—as we said above—whether Messer's. PEEL and Co. have five hundred tools, or five hun hundred and one to work with, still it is not less mortify ing to the pride of a great community like Essex, to see that supernumerary satellite take his place, as if delegated by their free suffrages to swell the ranks of , political prostitution. There is no doubt—we again assert it--that, had WELLESLEY maintained the contest, he would have beat both BRA stsTon and CON YERS hollow: and if he try it again at the next general election, and we trust he will, his success is certain. Such a declaration of principles, as that which he put forth at starting, would almost alone ensure him victory—and it ought to do so, for we have few public men intrepid enough to make such avowals and such pledges: but he must know his own mind, before he commences to can vass the county afresh, and—above all—he must neither flinch nor vacillate. The Paris Journals of Wednesday have just been re ceived. The Moniteur, in its official department, con tains the Address of the Chamber of Peers, in reply to the Speech from the Throne, which we shall give to morrow. The Princess Augusta visited the Duke of Sussex yes terday, at his apartments in the King's Palace, at Ken sington. His Royal Highness has been slightly indis posed for some time past.

A Cabinet Council was held yesterday afternoon at the Foreign Office, which was attended by the Lord Chan cellor, the Duke of Wellington, Earls Bathurst sad Aberdeen; Viscount Melville, Lord Ellenborough, Mr. Secretary Peel, Sir George Murray, the Chancellor of ' the Exchequer, and Mr. Harries. The Earl of Roselyn joined his colleagues about half an hour after they had assembled, having been attending a Committee of the House of Lords. The Cbuncil broke up soon after four o'clock.

In the Foreign Market little doing u yet. Accounts from Smyrna state that the Russian squadron consisting of eight ships of the line, eight frigates, with several brigs, has left Pons for Malta, from whence it is reported they are going to return to the Baltic. It is also stated that the French naval force will be reduced in the Archipelago. HALF-PAST ONE. In the early part of the morning a sale of 00,000 Consols took place, which caused a trifling alteration in the market. Consols receded from 92j to to 92 1, since whieb the market has re. sumed its former price, and may be quoted at 026 to 6. • No bust. ness of magnitude is doing.

Spanish is rather better. The Budget, which comes forward on next Monday, excites great interest in the City, especially as it is hinted that a new tax is going to be proposed, and other taxes taken off. This new tax will excite some curiosity, as it is said to be on landed property left by legacies, on the same principle as that which now exists on personal property; and which tax is expected to meet with great opposition in the house ESSEX ELECTION. FIFTH AND LAST DAT. The polling commenced this morning at an unusually early hour, and it was evident from the exertions used in bringing up the voters, that both candidates had resolved on making an extraordinary effort ' to decide the contest. Mr. Conyers stood pledged, through the chair. man of his committee, Mr. Towers, to close the poll, if the result of this day did not materially decrease the majority which Mr. Bran ston had been hitherto progressively increasing. At the close of the poll, four o'clock, the numbers were fimilly announced : Brsmston Conyers 661 Total majority for Bramstoo .. 1.179 Mr. Ba 4XSTON came forward and was handso.nely greeted. He remarked that this day had been a day of great exertion on both sides But exertion on the side of his honourable opponent only added a stimulus to increased exertion on the part of his friends— the event of that day had shown this assertion to be correct. He begged to renew his sincere thanks, and to assure them he stood there with perfect confidence as to the result. 31r. CHARLES Toweas then presented himself, but at firsteould not obtain a hearing as the call was general for 31t. Conyers. He said it was at the request of Mr. Conyers and the High Sheriff that he should first address a few remarks to them, which he trusted they would hear patiently. These remarks had re ference to some important statements he had made yesterday in his capacity as Chairman to Mr. Calm' committee. Mr. Conyers' had given a pledge, and such a pledge as became an honourable man and an honest politician, that the poll should be kept open to the extent of time allotted by law, or until such a majority as would faily express the sense of the country had been polled. Ile (Mr. Towers) had yesterday the honour of stating that Mr. Conyers would never permit the charge of vexatious opposition to attach, and unless numbers came forward the next day, sufficient to warrant an expectation that Mr. Bram ston's majority would ultimately be destroyed, that the contest should be abandoned. As a gurantee to the freeholders that Mr. Conyers would redeem every pledge given to them, he (Mr. Towers) had last night hurried to London and obtained the sentiments of a gentleman who they all respected, Mr. Western, as to his inter pretation of the pledge of keeping open the poll for fifteen days. Mr. Western's sentiments were, that he was bound in honour, as well as common sense, to resign the contest when the majority had been polled; but it would be indelicate towards the com mittee and gentlemen who nominated him not to have their ap. proval of this measure. Mr. L. Wellesley also was of opinion that Mr. Conyers had fairly redeemed his ple dge, and that the imputa tion of vexatious proceedings would be merited if further opposition was offered. Having satisfied himself of these gentlemen's opinions, he returned to Chelmsford; but it was with regret he stated that the result of the poll was most unfortunately against Mr. Conyers, and that he, Mr. Towers, would not be acting the part of an ho nest man, if he did not now tell them, that he thought the game was up, and that Mr. Conyers would think it his duty to bow to the sentiments of the county so unequivocally explained by the majority in favour of Mr. Bramston. Mr. CONYERS was received with great applause. He said his sentiments had been so perverted and misrepresented, that he eon ceived it necessary to put forward an address to the freeholders, which was then printing, and would shortly be in circulation. He thanked them from the bottom of hie heart for their kind exer tions, and begged to offer his cordial wishes for their individual happiness and prosperity. He had nothing more to say , to them, but only to add, that he wished happiness to his friend Brantston and his family. The HIGH &attar having declared Mr. Bramaton to be duly elected, Mr. BRANSTON said his situation filled him with the utmost gratitude. It would now become his task to undertake those duties they had so nobly imposed upon him, and he trusted he should ever be found to discharge them conscientiously, honestly, and faithfully. After the applause had subsided, a superb chair, decorated with blue satin, was produced opposite the Shire-house, inwhich the new candidate being placed, he was paraded through the town, hoisted on men's shoulders, and received the customary honours. In the following " Address to the Electors of Essex" by the Hon. W. LONG WELLESLEY, will be found a complete contradiction to that part of the statement put forth by Mr. C. TowE RS in which he makes use of Mr. WELLEBLEY'S name. Mr. WELLESLEY is justly in dignant at the course pursued by Colonel CONYERS : " ELECTORS OF ESSEX! " It is my duty to address you. You all know the reason for which, at a great personal sacrifice, I declined a contest for the ho. pour of your representation on the present, or rather I should say the late occasion, for lam told that the contest has ended. Colonel Conyers has broken his private engagement to me, and forfeited (a matter, gentlemen, of infinitely greater importance) his public pledge to you. H ad I, by any possibility, anticipated—had I, by any distant alcalation, conce ived—so base an instance of flagrant infidelity, so gross an outrage upon all received conditions of public faith, my appeal would have been made to you, not through the columns of a London newspaper, but directly, in person, on the hustings at Chelmsford. "Gentlemen, it is now too late to rescue you from a temporary thraldom ; but the day is not far distant, nay, it is way neu at head, when I shall afford you an opportunity of redeeming dui tar nished character of your native hundreds, and of proving to pea that at least one mania to be found possessed of political ceesislwasy and bound by honourable compact. And, if in that stew le k shall perchance be my pod fortune then to gain that enviable pinkies of ascendancy to wh i chl venture to surmise your indepserhat would have even now exalted me, my prefsedses will he the practice I have the courage to adopt, and sell in the pseudo which another had the unheard-of meanness to forfeit and the an principled baseness to forget. "Gentlemen, I am yours ever at command, "W. L. WELLESLEY. " London, March 11, Eight o'Cloek." The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester honoured the performances of the French Plays, at the Haymarket Theatre, on Monday evening with their presence. The Neapolitan Minister and the Duke of Buckingham transacted business yesterday at the Foreign-office. The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester honoured Mrs. Beadon with their company to dinner on Wednesday evening, at her residence in Charles-street, Berkeley square. One of the most devoted supporters of the Noble D ur n's Administration commences a laboured defence of our po licy towards Portugal with the following pithy remarks : " That the government of this country does not stand in an enviable position with respect to the affairs of Portugal, it would be vain to deny ; it either at first took too high, or it has now taken too low, a tone ; it has either been deceived, or it has deceived others; or, perhaps (which appears the most probable,) it has been, at different stages of its career, the dupe and the impostor." THE ODDINGLEY MURDERS. WORCESTER, TituRIDAY, 111.utot 11. It was not till half past seven o'clock last night that the Grand Jury returned their bills in this case. At that hour the Grand Jury came into Court, and returned the following bills, via. -A true hill spinet Thomas Cleves, George Banks, and John Barnet, as ac. cessaries before the fact, in the murder of Mr. Parker ; a true bill against Thomas Clewes (ignoring it as to the other two prisoners), as accessary after the fact, in the murder of Mr. Packet ; and a true bill against Thomas Clewes (ignoring it as to the other two prison ers), as principal in the murder of Hemming. In consequence of the return of these bills, the trials were ap pointed to tale place the first thing this morning, before Mr. Jus tice Littledele. After some discussion respecting the order of proceeding it was bully arranged that Clewei;should, in the first instance, take his Vial alone on the indictment, the question on the Coroner's inquisi. don standing over for the present. Banks and Barnet were accordingly removed frent the bar ; and the Jury being sworn, they were charged with the deliverance of Thomas Clewes for the murder of Richard Hemming. Mr. Cuiwoon stated the case and the following is part of the evidence called foe the prosecution : Charles Burton saids.-I live in Smikehill, in this county; I was employed by Mr. Howard to take down a barn ; it is in the parish of Oddingley, in this county ; I was employed to take it down on the 28th of nher; I remember removing the foundation neat a small pool ; it was some weeks after 1 began to take down the barn. It was on a Thursday in January, at tour o'clock I removed the foundation. I found the remains of a human body, a pair of shoes, and a carpenter's two-feet slide rule. These were two feet six inches below the level of the bay in which they were buried. They were in the second bay, close to the wall, next to the pool, and about three feet from the door. 1 did not proceed with my work after finding these things. I coveted them up. Next morning 1 went to Mr. Allen, at Droitwich, and stated I had found something. 1 afterwards went to a magistrate in that borough. He sent me to Mr. Smith, the coroner. This was on Friday, the 22d of January. I returned the same night to the spot where I found these things. I took two men with me. I remember Mr. Smith and Mr. Pier point coming there on the Saturday morning. I have known this barn thirty years. It is situated on Netherwood Farm. Ido not know who occupied it 30 years ago; I remember the Rev. Mr. Parker ; he was shot on the 24th of June, to the best of my recol. lection, in 1806 ; 1 knew Richard Hemming, he was married to my sister ; he was a carpenter and wheelwright by trade; before Mr. Parker was shot, Hemming was living at Droitwich, which is nearly three miles from Oddingley ; he (Parker) was parson of that pariah ; I never saw Richard Hemming after Mr. Parker was shot ; there was a great deal of inquiry made afterhim ; I never saw Hemming since Mr. P. was shot ; at the time Mr. P. was shot, T. Clewes occupied Nctherwood farm ; Hemmings was five feet three inches high; he usually carried a basket with tools; I do not know whether he carried any thing on his person • the barn is 16 yards from the farm-house on Nethcrwood farm; I do not know particu. larly how long Ckwes occupied this farm after Mr. Parker's death ; it might be four or five years ; there was no floor on the bay of the barn; Hemmings was a short stiff man ; there was much stiff clay on the bay of the barn ; it was loose marl where I found the re. mains ; found three halfpence, a sixpence, and a knife, in addition to things already mentioned ; there were no remains of clothes, ex cept part of a cord breeches and some buttons ; 1 showed the remains of Hemming as they were to Mr. Pierpoint, the surgeon. Elias Newbury—ln the year 1806 I was the wife of Richard Hemmings ; we then lived in the Borough of Droitwich, in the pa. rah of St. Nicholas ; he was a cupenteer and wheelwright ; lilt Parker was shot on the 24th June, 24 years ago, next Midsummer. day:; I saw my husband that morning r he left home about half put five in the morning ; he was dressed in a dark blue long tor coat, and, to the best of my recollection, corduroy breeches ; he car. tied a rule in his breeches pocket at all times ; there was a mark at the top of the rule; it was cracked on one side, near to the rivet; my husband was a short thick man, with a tall mouth and teeth, and he stood one inch under the standard of the militia ; his teeth were very sound and strong, and tolerably white ; his shoes were low, nailed in the heels, and tied in front; he trod very ' much back on the heel, which wore that part of the shoe ; I do not remember any thing particular in the manner of his tying his shoes ; I heard that Mr. Parker had been shot about ten o'clock in the evening; I never saw my husband sherwards ; Mr. Richard Allen came in search of my bus. bed that night ; he came three times to look for him. [The shoes woe shown to the witness.] I firmly believe those shoes to have hem my husband's [the pointed particularly to the nails in the heels, asst the wearing away of the toes as corroborating her opinion.] I skis believe that this rule [the rule was shown her] was my hus. head's rule ; I described the marks upon it before it was shown to me; the mouth of the skull is like my husband's ; I could swear to the teeth having been my husband's teeth ; I know the prisoner se die bar; he came to our house three times to inquire for him this was some time before the death of Mr. Parka; I knew of no muse of enmity between my husband and Mr. Parker. Joseph Colley—l am a little farmer, sad am 77 years old ;in the year 1806 I lived in the parish of Hinley, the adjoining parish to that of Oddingley ; I have worked for the prisoner ; I have seen Hemmings and Clewes in company together at Droitwich and at the Chequers public-house; Cletus was drinking with Hemmings, and drinking "to the death of Buonaparte of Oddingley ;" Han. mings said, I have a nasty job to do at Oddingley, but it was too late to go to do it then ; he said this generally to the company in the kitchen ; this was about five o'clock in the afternoon ; I remem lber the death of Mr. Parker ; the conversation at the Chequers was before the death of Mr. Parker. Cross.examined.—l did not hear Hemmings say that he was going to draw some black mud from a pool, when he talked about a nasty job ; there were other persons it the room when this conversation took place ; the Chequers is no: saun b Red . lic-house now ; the Chequers oleo had the name of the Sarah Rogers—l am 44 years old ; I lived at Oddingley till within these eight years ; I remember the time when the Rev. Mr. Parker was shot; it was Midsummer-day ; I then knew Thomas Clewes ; there was apiece called the Pigeon.house upon 31r. Bars ten's farm ; there was • cellar under this pigeon-house, in which the cider was kept. I heard a great noise, and my sister and I were sitting up late—about twelve o'clock ; I sat under the trunk a a On not lofty yards from the pigeon.house ; I could hear what was there; there were five people there ; I knew their voices well to know who were there; Mr. T. Clewes was one of them ; I hoed them drink one another's health ; and to the parson's health the drank to him kft.handed ; a dog then made a 111. Mebane., and I went away ; two of them came out, and I followed one to my fatha'sloor ; Clewes was not one of those; this might be about a month before Mr. Parker was shot. A number of other witnesses were then examined, whose evidence was to the same effect, and Mr. Clifton being sworn, was examined by Mr. Sergeant II trs sne.—He is a county magistrate. He signed the warrant for the committal of Clewes ' • he saw Clewes several times in jail ; he has a distinct recollection of seeing him thrice; no ore was present at these interviews; has had a correspondence with the Secretary of State on this subject ; he thinks he told Clewes he would commur i. este with his majesty's government; he certainly tol4 him he would use all his endeavours and influence to prevent any ill consequences from falling on him, if he would disclose what he knew respecting the Oddingley murders.
