The Proprietors and Editors of this Paper are desirous, or the eve of the MEETING OF A PARLIAMENT so important to the principles Of FRK TRADE, to call the attention of their Subscribers and of the Public to the elaimm of the WEEKLY CHRONICLE as the Advocate of an enlightened Poli c the y ogress , on all questions which relate to our industrial economy, and to political pgress and social happiness of the People. The Weekly Chronicle has, from the period at which it came into the hands of its present Proprietors and Conductors, faithfully and firmly supported these prineiples--seeking at once to carry them out without violence or personal rancour, and to establish itself in the respect, not only of its Readers, but even of its Political Antagonists, by a strict regard for Truth and Fair Play, on which grounds alone, as its Editors feel confidant, can any well-intending party be ade quately and successfully supported. As a Newspaper, the Weekly Chronicle will be found to contain a larger quantity of carefully compiled and well digested reading matter, than any of its contemporaries; and it has ever given, and will continue to give, the fullest digests of the proceedings in Par liament, consistent with its limits, which are of the largest size re cognised by law. The importance of this In the coming session must be evident ; whilst in early intelligence of Political Movements the Weekly Chronicle will maintain its lead, possessing, as it does, peculiar and exclusive sources of information, which its entire independence from personal influences and party trammels, enable it to give without mystification or reserve. One of the features of the Weekly Chronicle are the popular Letters of COTTON TWIST, principally devoted to questions of Free Trade and Industrial Economy, and of which a Third Series were commenced th, and will be continued from week to week throughout the present year.

I Evening .. 48 mimites after 6. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY ErENING-3 JANUARY 20, 1846. is to the extract we wish to call marked attention " The managers would now prominently place before the members the liberal act of the Treasurer of the Benevolent Fund, JOHN ABEL SMITH, Esq., M.P., who, and his partners of the house of MAGNIAC, JAR.. nrsis, and Co., have insured with the Association the life of each clerk in their house for sums varying in amount from 1,000/. to 250/., and have presented each gentleman with his policy as a testimony of their kindly feelings towards their employes, and their con tinued approbation of, and confidence in, the stability of the Association. This act of liberality does not merely apply to the first premium, but extends to the future annual payments by the eminent firm in question, thus realising to their clerks some pro vision in case of death to their families at the cost of the house. Besides, this kind consideration, which is hoped may be generally adopted, the amount of assurance increasing, according to priority of posi tion, length of service, &c., cannot fail wherever it may be followed, through feelings of gratitude as well as self-interest, to cement clerks more closely to employers and their interests." We need scarcely add that we most cheerfully record the fact, and heartily respond to the remarks of the managers of this excellent Association. Madrid journals of the 12th have been received. The discussion on the Address was resumed, and re ferred chiefly to the negotiations with the Court of Rome, but no new facts were stated, nor does it ap pear that much progress has been made in settling the points at issue. The Funds were more firm on the 12th; the Three per Cents. closed at: 34 at GO days ; the Five per Cents. at 231 60 days ; and the Coupons at 24f for cash. The Paris papers of Sunday contain no intelligence of much interest. On Saturday the Bill to grant 93,100,000 f. for the service of the navy was discussed in a Committee of the Chamber of Deputies. Admiral MACKAU briefly stated the proposed changes, and referred Members for more minute information to the document laid before the Chamber, from which it appears that in seven years it is proposed to have a fleet of 270 sailing vessels and 100 war steamers afloat. The Committee were favourable to the plans of the Minister, and some remarks made by one or two Members, blaming him for not commencing the work sooner, met with no support from the majority. On Saturday evening a deputation of the Peers, with the Chancellor, Count PASQUIER, at their head, waited on o to f the which C h a hi e m r i A n j B r e s v p l r y ro to a d t h e e Speech the KIN G a t th e T u il er i es, an d presen t e d th e Address thes f o l following from t a h n e s T w h e r r o : ni , " I am happy to see that every new year adds fresh motives of congratulation to those which you have so long offered me, at the opening of your sessions, respecting the increase of public prosperity. We are indebted for that fortunate re sult, of which everything presages the progressive continua tion, to the co-operation you have so constantly and so effica ciously afforded my Government, and to the accord existing between all the powers of the State. I again find with a lively satisfaction in your Address the expression of the sen timents of the Chamber of Peers for my family and for me. In returning to them our grateful acknowledgments, I feel pleasure in repeating the assurance that we will ever respond to them by our entire devotedness to France." A grand review took place on Saturday, in the Champ de Mars, in honour of the Ambassador from Morocco. His Excellency and suite were mounted on Arabian horses, furnished from the royal stables, and several Moorish ladies were on the balcony of the Military Schuol to witness the manoeuvres. About 45,000 troops were reviewed under the Command of the Duke DE NEMOURS, who was accompanied by the Prince DB JOINVILLE, the Duke D'AUMALE, the Duke of WIRTEMBERG, and the Prince of SALERNO. Some of the journals publish two petitions from Havre, one to the Chamber of Deputies, and the other to the Minister of Public Works, praying that after the warning furnished by the fall of the Barentin via duct, the other viaducts, and tunnels, and bridges on the Rouen and Havre Railroad be subjected to a " solemn examination," the results of which shall be published. They have been anticipated, however, by the Minister; for it appears that he has just entrusted M. FRISSARD, divisional inspector of the Ponts-et- Chausseks, and attached to the service of the first in spection of the Havre line railways, with the im portant mission of ascertaining the circumstances that have caused the fall of the Barentin viaduct. M. FRIssARD will, moreover, have to visit the works finished or proceeding on the Rouen and Havre Railway. It is now arranged that the expedition to Mada gascar will sail from Brest about the 15th of February. _ _ The French Funds were more firm on Sunday. The Three per Cents. had advanced 10c. and closed At M. Nothing was done in railway shares. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT T/IL LONDON STOCK EXCPIANGE, JAN. 19.

Her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the Court, will come to town to-morrow from Windsor Castle. It is expected that the Duke of Buccleuch will be appointed Lord President of the Council, and Lord Haddington Lord Privy Seal, at the Privy Council. We state, on good authority, that Lord Delawarr, Lord Chamberlain, has resigned, but his resignation is kept back for the convenience of the Government till after the formal announcement of the Ministerial plan. The same is rumoured of the Marquis of Exeter, Groom of the Stole to Prince Albert. We believe that three or four more resignations will take place, on Tuesday next, among subordinate members of the Government. It is understood that Lord Arthur Lennox, among others, retains his office only till after Sir Robert Peel's statement. The working men and trades' associations of the metropolis assemble to-morrow evening at the Crown and Anchor, in honour of Mr. Thomas Duncombe, who will be present. " Honour to the People's Champion" is the appropriate heading of the tickets whi•h have been issued. there MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO TAKER. The Cotton market was quiet yesterday at Liverpool, but alteration in nrices. Sharp. .vets (lull some remarks ii t a i.ettbr or alessrs. Railton and Son, of Manchester, upon the Share market, afford a little light in the matter. They state— " After the experience in railway affairs afforded by the last session of Parliament, it was quite evident that the large capital employed in that department of our national industry ought to have been protected by some legislative appoint ment that would have watched over the interests of that por tion of the public, who, on sound principles, devoted attention to its enlargement, against every interference of a contrary tendency ; and that no new scheme should have been permit ted to solicit general support which had not been previously so sanctioned. " In February last, and at various times since, we pointed out the mischief that must inevitably ensue in the share business, by the great influx of persons becoming share spe culating brokers, having little or no money, and dealing with each other through half-monthly reckonings to a most astounding extent. The break-down, however, overtook them, and spread ruin, not only amongst many of themselves, but also among many persons of capital ; teach ing to all reflecting men, that it is a fallacy ever to depart from the closest cash settlements in their transactions through brokers. All dealings in shares should be like money given for a bank-note. This rule ap plies particularly to Manchester, where there is no scarcity of surplus capital for any object to which it can be profitably and legitimately applied. If our view of the case be correct, it is evidently the bounden duty of every discreet person to support cash settlements to the utmost of his power, in order that the wild flights of corrupt and random enterprise may , be kept in such a position as not to endanger solid and bona fide interests. At a meeting of the St. Katherine Dock Proprietors held just now, a dividend of the usual amount was declared out of the profits. An important commercial fact was noticed— that the deliveries of goods from the warehouse have, since the new tariff came into operation, increased greatly. The accounts by the West India steamer are expected to be delivered to-day. The meeting of Parliament is likely to throw everything into the shade this week, and Thursday will be quite a dies non in the City, either as respects public sales or general business. The difficulties into which a mercantile house has been thrown have attracted much attention here. The Stock market opens better to-day, and the rally is i% to % per cent. Consols have been marked 93% to 94%, for present transfer, and 94% to 3 / 4 for time. The premium on Exchequer-bills has been steady at 17. Bank Stock has ruled at 203% to 204%. The New Three-and• a• Quarter per Cents. have been 96% to 7, and the Three per Cents. 94 1 / 2 to 94%. The Foreign Investments have been rather gayer. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 28 to %, and the Three per Cents. 38% to 1 ,4. Portuguese Three per Cents. have been 59%. Brazilian Bonds have been worth 83. French Three per Cents. have been at 83 francs, with the exchange, at 25 70. Shares are rather firmer. !mum FUNDS THIS DAT iier ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.) Bank Stock 203% 204% 3 per Cent.

Notwithstanding the secresy with which Sir ROBERT PBEI carefully guards his plan on the corn-laws, symptoms are occasionally manifested which may lead to the belief that it is of a compre hensive character, and that it will not materially differ from the proposition which, in the words of Mr. Hunts, was " so large and so complete, that his colleagues were terrified, and resigned." From every quarter where the influence of Tory Peers prevails, the most decided hostility to the Minister is shown. He is denounced as a renegade—as a man in whom no confidence can be placed, and as a betrayer of the party who placed him in power. In two or three instances a limited con fidence is still repwed in him, but even that is conditional, and all that the interceding parties ven tured to propose to their unwilling hearers was not to condemn a man before trial, and to wait patiently till they knew what he really intended to do. The symptoms, however, altogether are of a very unfavourable character for the friends of free trade, taking for granted that the House of Lords can control the Minister. Parties are dropping off daily. Earl DaLawaaa, the Lord Chamberlain, we are assured, has resigned, the Marquis of EXETER is going, and many others probably will follow in the train. Several of the seceders belong to the Court; they have access to her MAJESTY or her Royal Con sort, and may thereby have obtained some insight into the mysterious secret which now causes so much anxiety to millions of her MAJESTY'S subjects. In fact, it is impossible to account for these defections on any other grounds than the conviction that the Minis terial scheme is large and complete, though not imme diate in all its operations. A general belief now prevails—indeed there is hardly any doubt on the subject, that Sir ROBERT PEEL proposed to the , Cabinet in December a total repeal of the corn-laws. Mr. Hume, usually well-informed on Ministerial movements, says, "The resolution of the Minister was so fixed on the measure that he risked the long cherished connexion with the Duke of WELLINGTON, and was certain of breaking up the party of which he himself was the head. Neither of these conside rations (weighty always with men seeking place and power) deterred Sir R. PEEL from persevering ; and he resigned, because he saw that he could not carry his measure without all the influence of the Duke." The Duke has returned to the Cabinet, it is true, and with him a number of inefficient colleagues, but Lord STANLEY would not yield. He joined, probably led the dissentients, in opposing the plan, and has de serted them altogether rather than be a party to a measure which will touch the landed interest. If Sir R. PEEL had made any material concession, pro posed anything much short of total repeal, it is not probable that the Minister for the Colonies would have stood out alone, especially after he had announced to Sir R. PEEL that he was not pre pared to form a Cabinet on the principle of non relaxation of the corn-laws. This result and the events that are daily manifesting themselves in cer omensof taiu quarters may, therefore, be regarded as favour ablell em b ody n 1 what is intended, and can scarcely leave an that ( y measures e n n to unison nn proposedw i th on Monday y will doubt the principles of free trade of reasoning or c a l cu l a tion.W e comecannot e any yy otherany incoonde elusion. Since PEEL came into office all his ten dencies have been in that direction. The Bill for ad mitting foreign cattle, the Canada Corn Bill, the magnificent sweep of four hundred articles of foreign manufacture or productions from the statute-book, the abolition of the duties on cotton, the excise on glass, and many other acts of the Minister, all declare that he is a determined supporter of free trade. The greatest difficulty, hdwever, and the most material step of all remained—the repeal of the corn-laws. Without th a t all the rest would be incomplete, and are we to imagine, therefore, that a Minister who had deliberately pro- Posed a large and complete measure, who has again and again declared that it is the policy of this country to buy in the cheapest and sell in the dearest market, who glories in having already made such important changes, and rejoices in seeing them succeed beyond even his expectation, and who resigned rather than be thwarted in his fixed policy, would resume office to announce that he had been defeated? Sir ROBERT PEEL knows the advantages, nay, the absolute ne cessity, of making great plans ample and complete; and now that he has undertaken the task, and finds no other party able to form a Ministry, he will not ruin his character and defeat the hopes of his country men by half-and-half measures, merely to please those who claim exclusive advantages, and yet have not the courage or the power to form a Ministry for their ac complishment. That he will be opposed vigorously in the Upper House we confidently anticipate, but the Upper House is only one of the three estates. He has the people of England, and Scotland, and Ireland, at his back ; he can repose confidence in our gracious SOVEREIGN. The measure is necessary for the salva tion of the country ; and with such aids, and a firm and courageous spirit, he has nothing to fear. Frequently as we have recently bad occasion to particularise the various meetings convened by the agriculturists, we must candidly avouch that no single assembly of this nature has afforded us so much entertainment as the one which took place on Saturday evening, in the Borough-hall, at Tam worth. Its predecessors may have numbered many more influential names ; they may have blown, as through distant trumpets, the tidings of party wrath into the ears of the Premier; they may have sounded to him like a tumult in some remote street ; but the present demonstration, swollen out with the tongue-bubbles of a smaller rhetoric, bears a visage of a yet more threatening expression. As far as the Conservatives are concerned, Sir ROBERT PEEL has been heaping barrels of gunpowder round his threshold, and the present meeting is not unlike a lighted cracker tied to the door-knocker. It must undoubtedly, if nothing has hitherto accomplished such an achievement, force upon the First Lord of the Treasury a knowledge of his relative position with his nominal supporters. Cambridgeshire, or Willis's Rooms, may re-echo with anathemas upon the League, and vituperations upon its adherents, without in any especial manner startling Sir ROBERT PEEL from the seclusion in which he is concocting his redoubtable proposition for the consideration of Mr. GREENE and the Committee of "Ways and Means;" but here a party of infuriated protectionists come forward in the very Borough-hall of Tamworth, and actually lavish upon the head of its landlord every possible epithet of dissatisfaction and displeasure. In addition, of course, to the ordinary catalogue of agri ' cultural arguments—that interminable catalogue of indigence to farm-labourers, destruction to landed property, &c. &c.—several personalities, in allusion to the Premier, are introduced, throwing over the trans actions of what might otherwise have proved a very hum-drum assemblage a delightful and unexpected gleam of novelty. The Chairman, a certain, straight forward, blunt-spoken Mr. Pre, is the mouthpiece of these anti-Peel and anti-free-trade sentiments. With an extremely agreeable style of banter, which ma terially sharpens the subsequent declaration, he an nounces himself as inspired with a Personal reverence , for Sir ROBERT PEEL, but he adds that this personal reverence is accompanied by a Ministerial antipathy. , Then follows the most sledge-hammer blow yet ad ministered to the Premier :—" Ile would tell them that they must tell their representatives (explicit Mr. PrE !) that they must fearlessly do their duty— they must tell them that they had entrusted to them their dearest interests, and that although they did not bind them to the adoption of any specific measures, they did not at the same time bind them to the constant support of the leader of a party." And this announcement was received, be it particularly remembered, with " applause," and this applause sounded in the Borough-hall of Tamworth. As suredly it is an unmistakeable symptom of cooling on the part of the Conseil atives ; it is a symbol, moreover, that if, like the satyr in 2Esop, they do not positively blow hot and cold to- gether, they are undoubtedly growing very frigid towards their former favourites, and very warm in deed respecting the abolition of restrictions upon commerce. Correctly dui the Uhaisu... .Frah when he declared, that in the event of a repeal of the corn-laws, a mighty revolution was in store. And assuredly it must be from the trepidation inspired by this propinquity of a revolution that such death agonies and incoherent death-cries are blurted forth by the advocates of a falling principle. Saving for this spirit of benevolent palliation, we should be un able, with any patience, to listen to a gentleman like Mr. SPOONER—who seconded the resolution against free-trade--coming forward with the hoary language "unaccustomed as I am to public speaking," and then endeavouring to prove by a series of imaginary suppositions, that no agricultural system but the pre sent was tenable or healthy. In good sooth, the protectionists are driven to such desperation by the stern and determinate movements of the League, as to excuse any ebulitions of frivolity or inanity such as those we have already specified. It is, indeed, by merely looking upon them as a party now in the last stage of delirium that we can dismiss them with a smile of quiet commiseration. On one or two recent occasions we have had to re cord acts of munificence performed by merchants and bankers towards clerks in their service, but the follow ing extract from the fifth annual report of the Provi dent Clerks' Association, the reading of which, at the meeting last evening, called forth immense applause, we think speaks volumes, and which we heartily wi.,11 was generally adopted in preference to temporary presents.

ARRIVAL OF THE DEE, IN ''.ST INDIA STEAMER. A telegraphic communication w 'as received at Lloyd's this morning, at half-past nine o'cioc If of the arrival of the Dee, West India steamer, at Southamridton, at an early hour this morning. UNIVERSAL CODE OF SIG ri\TALS ON THE COAST FOR THE GUIDANCE OF \ rIESSELS IN DISTRESS. A resident at Boscastle has at lc tressed a, letter to Lloyd's i.e. , . LI o.Aux ,, f t} , . • mu u """"11 code of Signals on the coast of England for LI te guidance of vessels in distress, and refers to the loss >f the William and Ann, of North Shields, at Mellook, ix Bu .d e Bay, on the 20th ult., as one instance out of many that , k ad come under his notice, where the want of a recognised 33 e item had misled the vessel to destruction and severe loss n life. Mr. Langford, the writer referred to, inquires " wb a .ther some uniform signal could not be devised whereby v , st sels in distress and dis abled on a lee shore might and a rstand whether the place where such signal is exhibited - , is a place where lives could be saved, or a placer to be avoided." In the instance of the William and 414 in, she was running for Crackington Haven, but upon a . fire being lighted on the beach, she hauled her wind ; anoil er fire, made a few miles to the eastward, with the same rams ult; the crew, consider ing the fires a signal to keep off, nd she, in consequence, went on shore soon after; mas 4 er and six of the crew drowned, two only saved. The an ite stated, that in the North of England, a fire is understoi id as a beacon to keep off, but a flag, or colour of some sort,, as a place to run for. The loss of the vessel, therefore, is , ascribable to the mis interpetration of the signals used ta I the occasion, and the directly opposite meaning of the semi signals upon two parts of the English coast. It is remarksi ble, however, that a tire should have been lighted in the day time, when the vessel was in a direct course for a safe harps Jur. The want of an efficient and uf 33 form code of signals in cases of a similar kind has long b; .!en felt, and the danger attending the present variety of pla n s calls for reform. The Committee of Lloyd's, so f. a r back as 1821, had the subject under their notice, so far as r. espects vessels, and they recommended, by public notice, t, h. at all vessels should be supplied with rockets and blue lights). ; and, in case of distress, to fire a rocket in the first instant and then burn blue lights until relieved. The Committ ex of the Shipowners' So ciety, in concurrence with Lloyd's, its tried a notice, recom mending, in the strongest manner, that vessels should be provided with a dozen rockets and t 132 ee dozenblue lights, to be used in the manner before noticed,. The establishment of an universal a de of distress sign al for the coast appears to rest with theA ~oast Guard Service. PORTUGUESE QUARANTINI REGULATIONS.

Extract of a letter received at Llo yc l's, from Gibraltar : ‘, I beg to inform you that the ro, vs monopoly in respect to the importation of iron and steel to the dominions of the Emperor of Morocco, has lately bet .n rescinded, but an enormous duty is now levied, say 5 (Jo liars per cwt. on iron, and 7 dollars per cwt. on steel, being; equivalent to 200 per cent. (ad valorem) on the former, and 100 per cent. on the latter article. Previous to the late nz onopoly the duty on both was only 10 per cent., so that the present rates are almost equal to a prohibition ; still td te present measure is considered better to mercantile inter et ts at large th an th e ex . elusive monopoly of the Sultan." inima m wmirmo..
