It is clear to every man who watches the progress of events in the east of Europe, that the immediate settlement of the Greek question has become a po litical interest of the first order to the independence of the Euxine, the safety of the Turkish empire, the consequent freedom of the Archipelago and the Me diterranean, and the final welfare of Great Britain herself in her commercial prosperity, and her colo nial possessions. " The settlement of the Greek question" implies the formal acquiescence of the Porte in certain conditions required of her by Eng land, France, and (originally) Russia ; the main object of which is the release of Greece from the dominion exercised over her by Turkey. Had Russia chosen to remain at peace with Turkey on her northern frontier, the advantage to the cause of civilization and Christianity, arising from a treaty on the above condition between Turkey and the Allied Powers, would be equally apparent as it now is ; but the " political necessity ' for some pacific arrangement between them on the question of Greek independence, would by no means have been equally strong, because the ex istence of Turkey as a sovereign state would not then have beets, as it unquestionably now is, involved in the issue of the negotiations. The attack made by Russia upon Turkey has generated a new political emergency, and imposed upon France and England (at least upon the latter) a duty more imperative, and more urgent and inevitable, even than that of the solitary protection of Greece,—we mean the preservation of Turkey from the hands of Russia. The most important aspect of the Greek treaty at this moment is, in the eyes of an Englishman, its subserviency, if it can still be rendered subservient, to the general security of the Porte as an indepen dent power. It then becomes a vital question how best, and soonest, to bring about that settlement. There is nothing more manifest, than that the in vasion of the Turkish empire by Nicholas must of it self have a tendency to perplex and confound the whole plan of the contracting parties to the Greek treaty, by presenting Russia under a double, and, to Turkey, a most insulting form,—namely, that of at once a real enemy and a pretended mediator. If any thing could be added to the mischievous confusion of such an inconsistent attitudeassumed byßussia,it was the pertinacity with which she has required that Eng land and France should acknowledge her in both these characters,—that she should have the privi lege of sharing and controlling the negotiations of these great Powers, for the benefit of Greece, and at the same time that of excluding them from all in terference with her measures for the ruin of Turkey. The declaration of war by Russia against Turkey put a virtual end to the rights of the former Govern ment, under a treaty which recognised her as a me diatrix only. That declaration, and the war which followed it, substantially dissolved the alliance be tween England, France, and Russia, because from that hour the Court of St. Petersburgh must, in the nature of things, have interests directly adverse to that of the other allies, in so far as Turkey was concerned. It thence became the direct inte rest of Russia to embroil Turkey with all her natural friends, and with her most " ancient al lies," of which the Duke of Wellington allowed that England was one. We forbear to say that she acted on that interest. It then became a second positive interest of Russia, not to pro mote, but to thwart and retard the settlement of the quarrel between Greece and Turkey, that the Greek war might continue to operate as a diversion of the Turkish force. Far be it from us to assert that the Court of St. Petersburgh has acted on such a policy. But had it been her desire to prosecute that policy, she could not have devised a more ef fectual method of pursuing it than by taking advan tage of French sentimental ardour on behalf of Greece, and engaging the lu' insters of his Most Christian Majesty to co-operate with her in the de mand of such terms as it was obvious Turkey never would or could agree to, unless in the very agonies of dissolution. We have hitherto thought it de sirable that the Allies should obtain from the Porte, if possible, such a frontier for Greece as would leave her inhabitants a territory proportioned to their numbers. We were anxious, and ate still so, that Attica at least should be enclosed within the new principality or republic; and might, though to a certain compromise of the safety of our islands, have joined in soliciting from Turkey the extension of the northern frontier of Greece, along a line running east and west from the Gulf of Arta to that of Volo. But this line was not expressed in the Greek treaty, and if Turkey be resolute in withholding her concurrence from the great aliena tion of territory which is involved in the establish ment of the frontier contended for by Russia, and by the impetuous and perhaps not very considerate eagerness of French politicians (who, by the way, are rather to be found in the salons than among the official departments of Paris) on the subject. We must ask, what is to be the consequence? Ia Eng land so far to lose sight of all objects but the one, and so far set up the Greek barrier as the boundary of all British views and doctrines with regard to the common interests of Europe, that she will let Rus sia annihilate the Turkish empire, and fix herself upon the Dardanelles (which now be it said en pas sant she has, in flat breach of promise, blockaded), on no pretence but that of punishing the Grand Seig nor for his repugnance to sacrifice an ancient pro vince of his dominions, and to no end but the ag grandizement of Russia, who will then be in the Me diterranean what she already is in the Euxine,— the mistress of its keys, and of its commerce? We have not long since declared oar opinion, that the King's Ministers ought to hold language—not boisterous or offensive, but decided and becoming language—expressive of the impossibility of Europe or England looking on while Russia pushes her southern frontier into the Turkish territory at her own good will and pleasure. There is no denying that our actual relations with the Russian Govern ment are of a nature to try both the firmness and wisdom of those who advise our Monarch. We cannot avoid adding, that if the British Government, when the audacious blockade of the Dardanelles was first announced, had quietly told Russia that she had no right, under her own previous agreements, to lay such an incubus on European commerce, and on that of England, and moreover that having no right she must not exercise the power, all the difficulties of the present crisis would have been averted. But the Duke of Wellington then had Ireland on his hands, Russia ought to see that emancipation has since been carried,—that part of the army has already been withdrawn from Ireland, and that at home we have nothing to distract or employ our foree.—sTimes, SECOND EDITION.

MESSAGE FROM THE COMMONS. Sir ALEXANDER GRANT and others brought up the Life Annuity, together with several Private Bills. Mr. Alderman WOOD brought up the London nridgen, the Covent-garden Vestry Bill, and two Private Bills. Mr. DUNCOMBE brought up several Private Bills. Mr. Danvers brought up an account of the Re venue and Pensions granted by the East India Company. The Earl of MALMESBURY moved for certain additional returns respecting corn, to what he had on a former night moved for. Lord GODERICH in presenting a petition from Upper Canada; observed that it was not connected immediately with the domestic interests of this country, yet it did not the leSs deserve the attention of their Lordships. He believed his Majesty's Government was ready and willing to give it every attention. The petitioners, it was true, did not belong to Great Britain, but they were fellow-subjects—they were inhabitants of Upper Canada, and complained of a great number of grievances under which they had laboured for a series of years. It was not his intention to enter upon those points of which they considered they were entitled to complain. The petition was presented, not with any hostile feeling towards the individuals against whom it was, but because he (the Noble Lord) considered it a duty he owed the petitioners to present it. There were opinions in the petition with which he did not con cur. There was one topic which he wished to mention. The first complaint related to the recent removal of Mr. Justice Willis, who, it must be recol lected, was not long ago appointed one of the Judges of that colony. The grounds of his removal were stated to be his declining to act, unless there were present the Lord Chief Justice and the other Puisne Judges of his Court. It was reported to the Governor that according to the manner in ..hich justice had always been administered there, it was not imperative upon the Chief Justice to sit. ' Mr. Justice Willis, however, entertained a different opinion, and in consequence declined sitting in the absence of the other Judges. With regard to the law, he (Lord Goderich) certainly was not competent to form an opinion, but he understood that there was no imperative necessity for the Chief Justice sitting before Mr. Justice Willis went there, and he should therefore be inclined to say that the law in that respect did not require any such duty from the Chief Justice. It would be necessary, however, to adopt measures for the due ad- ministration of justice there, and to adopt the principle of administration as much as possible to the principle adopted here. The petitioners also complained of the power of the Crown to remove Judges, and prayed that the law might be so constituted as to render Judges immoveable by the Crown, ex cept by the concurrence of the two Houses of As sembly there. The Government of that country was managed by two Houses of Assembly similar to the Houses of Parliament here. The Upper House was denominated the Council, of which the petitioners complained. The Noble Lord thought it would be desirable that some steps should be taken to reform the principles on which that Council acted. He thought the functions of that body could never be satisfactorily performed unless something were done with respect to it, by which the con venience of the public would be more considered. 'he other part of the Legislative body was called ...... .. . .. . the Executive Council, in which there were many Members of the other House, and this the petitioners objected to. They also prayed that the Judges might not be allowed to be Members of either House. They considered that they had no effec• tive control over the Executive Council, therefore they prayed that the Lieutenant-Governor and other Officers might be made responsible to Government. They asked for an alteration in the law as regarded Juries; but this the Noble Lord thought they could best adjust amongst themselves. They alluded to something that the Secretary for the Colonies haft last year taken occasion to say in the other House of Parliament, respecting them, and which they considered they had reason to com plain. It appeared to them, from what they had been informed was then stated, that they were not truly represented to his Majesty, whether this mention of the Honourable Member in the other House, by name and allusion to what he had said, would render the petition inadmissible, or not he did not know, but he felt it his duty to present it, and hoped that the condition of the people of Upper Canada would receive every atten tion from this Government and Parliament, that was possible to give. The Duke of WELLINGT ON was sure that nothing had fallen from the Noble Lord in which he so heartily concurred as the necessity of meet ing the views of the people of Upper Canada. Having however seen the petition, and having had in his hands for a considerable time a copy of the petition that was presented to his Majesty, he felt it necessary to say there was but little in the petition that could be carried into execution by the Govern• merit or Parliament. Many of the measures alluded to by the petitioners could be carried into execution by the Colonial Parliament itself, and the expediency of the adoption of others of them could not but lie doubted. The Noble Lord had stated only a part of the case with respect to Mr. Justice Willis having disapproved of the absence of the Chief Justice from the Court of King's Bench, thought proper to protest against that absence,and to state that the absence was improper, and to absent himself in consequence of that absence, but to state that all the proceedings of that Court were illegal, in conse quence of the absence of the Chief Justice. For this he was suspended in the first instance, and afterwards discharged by the Lieutenant-Governor, sir. Justice Willis then presented a petition to his Majesty against that order. The petition was re ferred to the Committee of the Privy Council to inquir e into,and the result of the inquiry was that his Majesty approved of the conduct of the Lieutenant- Governor in the dismissal of that Judge. — This was the state, and he believed unless their Lordships were prepared to find fault with the Committee of the Privy Council, they would ray this was a proper proceeding. The next subject he would advert to was the last referred to by his Noble Friend, namely, the desire which the pe titioners :expressed, that the Lieutenant-Governor should be responsible to the House of Assembly for the acts of the Government. The persons who made this demand had altogether forgotten that this was a colony situated on a foreign frontier, and that those principles which suited the Government of this country, might not be exactly suitable to them. Under these circumstances though it might be expedient at some future period, under any circumstances to render the offices of the Government liable to the House of Assembly. Yet he must say that it would not do to compare their situation with that of the servants of the crown in this country. The executive council probably was something in the nature of a Privy Council in this country, and gave advice to the Crown in the some mariner as many in this House did. He trusted that their Lordships would be of opinion that there was nothing in the present application which deserved the attention of their Lordships. The measure had already received the serious CPnSir deration of Government. (LEFT SITTING.) HULL MARKET.-May 12. The supply of Wheat from the farmers diminishes weekly, and our stock of free Wheat in granary is very materially lessened ; during the week we have had a moderate demand, and several parcels have been taken fur consumption on terms fully equalling those noted in our last. To-day we have again a short supply, and the prices of last week have been fully maintained, and in some instances a trifling advance has been realized. We have a very slender attendance of buyers down, and the business passing in foreign Wheat is only trifling, but on what is done late prices are maintained, and the best runs are held for more money. Bond Wheats still continue in request at our quotations. Oats are held with more firmness, and lase prices supported. Lock Oats continue as last noted. The season is nearly over for Bar ley, and we scarcely ever meet with an inquiry after it, our prices are therefore nominal. There are speculation buyers of Bonded Barley at 14s. to 16s. per quarter, but few sellers at these prices.

DOUGLAS presented a petition from the merchants and other traders of Glasgow, in favour of opening a trade to India. Mr. STANLEY presented a petition from the province of Upper Canada, complaining of the man ner in which the Government of that Colony is con ducted. The Hon. Member stated at great length the particular grievances set forth in the petition. Mr. LABOUCHERE said that he had no hesi tation in supporting this petition, which was well entitled to the serious consideration of the House. Sir GEORGE MURRAY regretted that the petition was not more definite than it was, as his Majesty's Government were at all times anxious to afford redress when grievances were pointed out to them, but he did not conceive that it was on the presentation of a petition hat the House could properly go into the merits of any great question.

There could b e 1 . 12 1 reason why a system that had been found suc cele be in the case of the Dublin University, should n et i e r acted upon here. In conjunction w i t h the O professors of the London Univ er sity, he bad rs vowed to devise a plan of religious instructless; which, he was happy to say, was now pretty completion, snd which he trusted would be fe,'" e a calculated to satisfy all parties. He was auth oris o to say, that it was intended to establish a he r e , in connexion with the University, wt e ' r e system of residence would be adopted, and o e te d ligious education of the pupils would be condllieeol upon the same principles of discipline as at t of and Cambridge.
