I-011DM : SUNDAY, MARCH 3. --•-• With unusual pleasure do we refer our readers to the proceedings in the House of Commons on Thurs. day night—not because the motion fur a repeal of an oppress:ve tax was successful, for unhappily it was nut so—not because the opposition to Ministers included 165 members, while their supporters (in which number were of course included the votes of all the plaoemen and pensioners, who to the disgrace orthe House, are allowed to have a vote) amounted to only 169, leaving them a majority of but -1, in a House consisting of 834 members—not because we saw in array, against the continuance of this Tax, se veral of those persons who have for the last thirty years said Avs to every question which Ministers wished to carry, and No to every motion they chose to oppose—but because during the debate in question the principle was recognized that ought alone to to• lerate the continuance of any government, THE FOOD OP:NION AND APPROVAL OF THE PEOPLE. The Duke of Wellington may say " County meet ings aro a farce." The Marquis of Londonderry may treat with contempt the " idea of considering as worthy of attention the opinion without doors," but we repoat our conviction, that the sooner may government which sets itself in direct opposition to the public opinion and wishes, is destroyed the butter, forasmuch as Governments were instituted C THE NATIONAL REGISTER nut fhr the profit of a King and a Cabinet Council, but fur the good of the people at large, it is there. fore that we hail with unfbigned satisfaction the re introduction of our favourite principle into the House of Commons, and rejoice to find it admitted by both sides of the House. It is a long time since such a chawd has been heard in St. Stephen's Chapel—al most all the parasites of Ministerial influence joined in the key of the Opposition that rettenchment was necessary—that retrenchment might be effected— even Sir E. Knatchbull and Sir I'. Lethbridge dared to oppose the continuance of the Salt Tax, and what ever Ministers may say to the contrary, they know that the division of such a I louse as that of Thurs day night, yielding them a majority of only four, in point of flact, a signal detCat—may they meet many such—may they find an approaching regene ration in the House of Commons, and may they either bow to it, or be kicked out of their places.—A diminution in expenditure of all sorts must, and will be, cflected—and we had much rather it should be effected in another way than by the people themselves, but our Rulers way depend on it that it will be dune, and they had better not wait till that worst of all ways of doing a thing that is absolutely necessary is resorted to—" lanterne."—Mr. Ald. Wood moved for a Committee of Enquiry respecting the outrages at Knights ' bridge—the motion was seconded in derision, by Sir W. Curtis, who launched out into one of the most impudent Tirades we ever heard against the Common Council—and declared those " important persons" would become more ridiculous in propor tion as their proceedings were more known—our readers need not be at a loss to account fur this violence on the part of Sir William Curtis, when they remember how recently that Uentleman's shameful conduct regarding the Orphan Fund, was almost unanimously censured by the body in ques tion, and we hope that every member of the Court will bear in mind his grossness on the present occa sion, when he solicits their sufliages to send him again to the place in which he has already so vilely libelled thein.—Alderman Wood's motion was ne gatived—not on the merits of the question, fur they were all in its favour, but by the opposition of Mr. Peel, the Secretary for the Home Department (Lord Siduaouth's successor), who placed his Veto against the sought-fur inquiry—thus the Manchester and Knightsbridge affairs arc alike destined to remain as they are for a time, but a time will come when in quiry will take place. On Friday evening last Ministers were left in a minority of 54! by which decision two of tke use less Lords of the Admiralty were done away with— this ought, according to precedent, to be the signal for their resignation, but they will hold to place, under however degraded circumstances. We hear with much pleasure that a public meet ing of the Holders of Five per Cent. Stock will be called immediately, to consider of the best method of resistance to the infamous proposition of the Chan cellor of the Exchequer—our readers, however, need not be reminded, that from the 4th to the 16th of the present month is all the time allowed for the expression of dissent against a measure which will rub the Holders of 16s. pet annum on every 1001. Five per Cent. Letters dated Wednesday morning, have been re ceived from Paris, which state that accounts had reached that city of a new attempt to excite dis turbances in Saumur. A party, consisting of alit , ut 50 men, headed by General Berthon, had appeared in Saumur, where they hoisted the tri-c-. lour flag, and manifested the most tumultuous conduct.— They were attacked Ly the municipal guard, and a conflict of some ob. tinuey took place between them befia e they could tie expelled. Several of General Berthon's party were killed. Of the remainder the greater portion were apprehended and lodged in pri son. Their leader made his escape, but almost un accoirpanicd; this even:, which, if the authority of the private letters may be relied on, was of' no im portance, and only a temporary interruption to the tranquillity of Saumur, had been made use of by a party of speculators on the Paris Exchange, to cause a panic, and induce sales of stock. The renles bad in consequence fallen about one per cent., but as the letters were despatched in the early part of Wed nesday, the actual effect on the prices could nut be ascertained. The attolidienne(Paris paper) of WeC nesday has the following paragraph on tho subject : " Pius, FEB. 26.—Many reports were in circu lation this evening respecting an assemblage of di.affected persons in the town of Thuoars, and who, after having committed excesses worthy of a troop of genuine friends of Eberly, intended to have made an attack on the city of &tumor. But the gates being shut, this baud of wretches are wander ing about the country, and it is announced that ono of the regiments of the Royal Guard of Orleans has been detached in pursuit of them. We publish this intelligence without being able to, give any exact details. They will arrive without doubt to-rr.cr row, and if the facts shin Id prove to agree with what has been circulated this evening in the capi tal, it may be added to the proofs already known of the degree of fory with which sonic men may be animated when they see the public peace secured by the support of the laws." Sin R. WILSON'S SuascRIPTION.—WIII. Oru, Esq. and G, Phillips, Esq. M. P. have each sent the sum of 211. to the Committee for conducting Sir R. Wilson's subscription ; and Lord Suffield has sent 501. enclusee in the tbllowing excellent letter: • Galata), Feb. 23.

" 1 enclose an under tot .'Ol and all, Sir your most obedient, ~S UFFIELD." On Tuesday were married by special licence, at the Earl of Albemarle's house in St. James's-square, by the Bishop of Norwich, T. W. Coke, Esq. of Holkham, (M P. for Nortidk), to Lady Ann Keppel, second daughter of his Lordship. After the ceremony the bride and bridegroom left town for the Dowager Lady De Clifford's cottage, Dudley Grove, Paddington. The Countess entertained a select party of fashionables: among them were the Dukes of Sussex, Norfolk, &a. AGRICUOTURAL DISTRESS.—.k very respectable and numerous meeting of owners and occupiers of land in the Soke of Peterborough, in the county of Northampton, was held at the town-hull at Peter borough, on Saturday, the 23d ult. pursuant to requisition, for the purpose of taking into consi deration the distressed state of the agricultural in terest, and propriety of submitting the same by petition to the House of Commons. The venerable Earl Fitzwilliam took the chair, and opened the business of the meeting by expatiating on the utter inefficiency of the relief proposed by ministers to the extreme distress of the agi.,:ultural interest. Lord Milton followed, and admirably exposed the absur dity of the Bank Loan to the parishes, and the fal lacy of making the Sinking Fund u pretence against the reduction of taxation. A strong petition, in conformity with these general views, was warmly and unanimously passed, and is to be presented to the House of Commons by the Members tbr Peter . berough. Wretched State of the Poor in Ireland.—Potatoes rose in Mayo, on Saturday, to the alarming price of 61. per stone.—The wretchedness and poverty which exist at present in and about this town exceed Wief, anti the prospect fur the spring and sulmucr is dismal indeed. It is not uncommon to see a man spending the greater part of a day in re-digging ground from which potatoes had been dug in the season, and taking home in the evening the few that, in the second search, he discovers in tho earth, as the only sustenance which he can provide for a famishing fitatily.—Perhaps a more persuasive proof of the poverty that prevails could not be advanced, and it may be seen in almost every potatoe field around us. The Bank of Ireland will shortly commence to dram Bills, at '2l days sight, on London ; or issue Post Bills, payable in London, for sums tvitliih certain limits not yet, we believe, finally determined on. The Exchange fur there Bills will be tilted at Si. " -~- P ill CE U. t .~
