ZS 20 tS TO CORRESPONDENTS. The Second Letter of B. to Lord HOLLAND has been received, and shall appear on Monday. The Figaro, a Paris Paper, of the 16th instant, con tains the following paragraph :—" A house, it is said, has been taken at Versailles for the Duke of CUSHIER.. L AN D—who finds himself obliged—in consequence of the death of Lord GRA V ES—to fly from England." Although the Morning Post is better known for its inanities and its drivelling, than for any firmness and vigour even in its characteristic opinions—still as the organ of those dines denudes, of whom the leader ship may be presumed to inhere ill HORACE Tw ss, or some other equally insignificant Minis terialist—it is good sometimes to hang him upon the peg of his own productions, as a gazing-stock and example to his contemporaries. The motion of Lord BLANDFORD on Thursday night, " to restore the con stitutional influence of the Commons in the Parliament of England," has brought out this vapid skirmisher of the Peelites, in an article where corruption and effron tery are singularly blended together. " The Marquis of BLANDEORD is mistaken,"- says our contemporary, " if he thinks it possible for any man to acquire political importance in England, by advocating general and sweeping changes in the Constitution." Is the Post, in reality, the fool that this assertion would seem to proclaim that he is ? Or does he affect ignorance, for the sake of the more convenient exposition, which otherwise would not harmonise with his men dacity? What changes—we do not talk of "ge neral and sweeping changes"—but what changes at All did Lord BLANPFORD advocate ? He pro- , posed, away, Wet we should fall back upon some of the good old practices of the Constitution—that we should return to those purer usages, which through die venality of corrupted generations had gone into de mietade—and that the pristine elements and principles of our representation should be again called into their original activity and prevalence. Is this being the " advocate of innovation ?" Is this the " general and sweeping change," which the Post deprecates, as unpalatable to discreet and sober-minded people? The truth is, that our contem porary and his patrons shudder at the bare thought of a reform of any kind : they entertain an instinctive abhorrence of every sort of amelioration. And why ? because they feel that then► would be an end of the public plunder, in which they have luxuriated for half a century—because they know that the rotten in society would be the only losers, by the restoration of a pure order of things. It is this presentiment, which makes the Morning Post designate reform only as " not odious, because he believes it to be chimerical :" it is this presentiment which makes him foremost in the yelp and yell, which the CORRUPTIONIOTS-111 a body—will soon set up, more in dismay, than with any hope of maintaining longer their detested system. These considerations bring us back to the doc trine of popular interference, on which we have already spoken, so as not easily to be misunderstood. We mean that thing which is coming—if the Parliament do not , avert it, while it may—called by Lord CHATHAM, " Re form from without, with a vengeance." It is idle to suppose that the people will go on perpetually thus. Have they not already declared, in great numbers, that their burdens are insupportable—that their grievances bow them down to the earth ? Are they not forming on every side POLITICAL Are they not strengthening into power, by the principle of associa tion ? And can these things last, without superinducing important changes? We say again, that it is unavailing to attempt longer to keep down the country—if some great boon be not conceded to the suffering classes. And who are" the suffering classes ?" Three fourths of the population of the Empire! The other fourth which riots in corruption,and plunder, and privilege—is arrayed against them : one against three : a diminutive chance, if it come to a physical, instead of a moral settlement ! Will it not, then, be prudent in those who have so much to lose by violence, and so little to fear if they will but consent to equitable arrangements, to take counsel while the season is yet allowed them, and—if not for the sake of the country, yet for their own sakes—to retrace their steps, and co-operate to our social redintegration The debate, on the motion of Lord MELBOURNE, on Thursday night, was of high interest, and ought to be read with the utmost attention by all those who feel de sirous of becoming acquainted with the real state of the Portuguese question. The subject could not have fallen into hands more capable of treating it with ability and accuracy than those of the Noble Viscount, who proved, by the various facts and arguments brought forward in his speech, that he is thoroughly versed in all the bear ings of this important question. After having proved to demonstration the share England had in promul gating the Charter of Don PEDRO, and our sub sequent interference in the affairs of our old ally, Lord MELBOURNE was equally happy in his al lusions to the conduct of those among the present Ministry, who are notoriously attached, from personal motives, to the despot, and those around him. The reply of Lord ABERDEEN was precisely such as might have been expected. The old hacknied excuse of its not being yet time to grant the information required;was resorted to; and the usual fallacies and predilections of the Noble Foreign Secretary were prominently put forward. But the most important part of this reply is, where the recog nition of MIGUEL is indicated as a more than probable, and not remote contingency ! We have already said so much to prove the injustice and impolicy of the projected measure, that it would be superfluous to recur to the facts of the case in this place. We shall merely say, that in the event of the recognition taking place without the full consent of Don PEDRO, ministers will be guilty of a fla grant breach of international law. The moment has also arrived for repeating our firm conviction, that the transac tions which have marked the whole progress of our re lations with Portugal, during the last two years, furnish strong and unequivocal grounds of impeachment against the principal actors. It remains to be seen whether sufficient resolution and public spirit be left in Parliament to adopt this course, the only one—we fear—which can save the national character of Eng land from utter • destruction. At all events, we shall proceed, on an early day, to enumerate a few of the grounds on which our own convic tion has been always founded. We cannot conclude, without offering our warmest thanks not only to the Noble VISCOUNT, who brought the motion forward, but to the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, and Lord GODERICH, whose respective speeches on the occasion, are worthy of the best periods of parliamentary eloquence, whether u regards the principle, laid down, or the language in which they were clothed.

Our present moon was ushered in with high tides, which were in creasing till the fourth, fifth, and sixth days, to a degree unprece dented in the memory of the oldest inhabitant. The streets of Can ton were perfectly navigable by boats, the only means of commtuti cation, the houses being under water ; a complete stagnation of busi ness ran the consequence. Two boats, in conveying some theatri cals, were upset, 140 persons lost; also three passage-boats were sunk, and out of two or three hundred persons only a few have been heard of. In the adjoining villages the floods were so high, and the current so rapid, that from two to three thousand persons are sup posed to have perished. The destruction of property is very consi derable. The sick districts have suffered materially, and in some places the houses were entirely swept away. The general calamity has been most distressing. Much interest has been excited lately amongst the Chinese, by the arrival of one of the frigates belonging to the King of China, she being of the European model. ItZMIARICS. Our Cotton Market has not yet experienced any further improve. ment, and no sales since our last.—The stock of old Cotton bas bees 1 1 considerably reduced. The late inundations, which have proved so destructive to lives and property. have a most material influence on trade, and the Opium dealers have been severely checked in their speculations. About two lam of new dollars have been received from South America, which soon found purchasers at a premium of and 1 per cent. according to their description. The quaality of new Malta opium is very good, butthe demand trifling. A spirit of speculation has shown itself amongst the dealers in Petrie, and considerable purchases have been made. From the Price Current at Singapore. Opium : a few chests of Petrie have been sold at 926 dr. per chest.—Saltpetre, of an inferior quality, is in request. Piece Goods, Europe—Several sales have been made in Cotton Twist : a few sales have taken place. To the SPEAKER of the HOCISE‘of COMMONS. MR. SPEAKER,—I read in the Evening Sear a strange account of Lord BLarrnroan's amendment not having been moved, after that of Sir EDWARD KWATCHIULL WY disposed of, AS his Lord. ship intended, and though I am not a Member of your Honourable House, and am at present a "resident north of the Tweed," yet I am an Englishman born and bred, and have not been an in. attentive observer of the conduct of Members of the House of Com. mons for more than forty years, or, in the words of the royal psalmist, I may truly say, " forty years long have I been plagued with this generation," and therefore I feel entitled to give you a line of my mind. You are, no doubt, or at lost you ought to be, acquainted with the conduct, on various occasions, of our old uncorrupted lawyers, judges, and Speakers of the House of Commons; and you may re. member that when CHARLES the FIRST entered the House of Commons, and, sitting in your chair, asked whether certain itlem. ben, whom the King named, were present, we are told, " The Speaker, from a presence of mind which arose front the genies of that House, readily answered, that he had neither eyes to are, nor tongue to speak, but as the House was pleased to direct him.' " Now, the inference that must be drawn from the account in the STAR, above-mentioned, Is that though warned publicly, and per. l haps privately, as I know was formerly the practice, of the intention of the Noble MARQUIS, you " /rad neither ego to see nor ears to ear" the Honourable Member, when he was standing up, and using his utmost efforts to obtain the attention be had bespoke; and yet I am told his person is good, his voles clear and strong, and his manner most gentlemanlike and prepossesidng. That he does not want firmness, courage, and perseverance, beyond the run of otdi. nary men, we have proof positive from his conduct ; and if he did, it would strangely belie the blood that flows in his veins. Are we, Sir, then to conclude from this strange contrast of your conduct with that of the famous Speaker in the time of CHARLES the FIRST, that your's arose like his, "frost the geodes of that House," If so, what chance is there in the great discussions that are approaching—such I will venture to say as you have never . . heard—that the People will derive that benefit they are entitled to expect from the bold, independent, and patriotic conduct, of those Members who truly represent their feelings and opinions, if theme shall happen to be in direct opposition to the feelings and opinions of " that House." Believe me, Sir, these matters are at this moment worthy of your most serious attention. The time is come when it will not do to have one coat, or one face, or one language for ia-doors, and an other for oat-of doors ; and whatever may be your likings or die. likings of the hot-bed of corruption, you ought to recollect that though in the time of your Immediate predecessor rest-selling was avowed and jtutilled upon the notoriety and universality of the practice, Mr. Speaker AIDOTT declared that " such language would have made the hairs of our ancestors to stand on end ;" and another member (Sir FRANCIS BURDETT) ' still more strongly in spired with the " genius of the olden time," declared that such lan guage would have made "our ancestors' swords to leap from their scabbards."
