The Proprietors and Editors of this Paper are desirous, on the MEETING OF A PARLIAMENT so important to the principles of FREE TRADE, to call the attention of their Subscribers and of the Public to the claims of the WEEKLY CHRONICLE as the Advocate of an enlightened Policy, on all questions which relate to our industrial economy, and to the pilitieal progress 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 principles—seeking at once to carry them cut 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 careffilly 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 proceedinga in Par liament, consistent with its limits, which are of the largest size re cognised by law. The importance of this in the coming litie. whilst in early intelligence of Po Chronicle will maintain its lead, possessing, as it doe ents s, peculiar and }sexrieonin t be he evident exclusive sources of information , which its entire independence from personal infleences and party trammels, enables it to give without mystification or reserve. One of the features of the Weekly Chronicle are the popular L e tters of COTTON TWIST, principally devoted to questions of Free Trade and Industrial Economy, and of which a Third Series were commenced with, and will be continued from week to week throughout the present year.

BAROXETZR, 29.39.—W1ND S.W., rain. , { l l blettill Uit LONDON, WEDNESDAY, lANUARY 21, 1846. The Duke of RICHMOND'S latest speech at Brigh ton was evidently intended to inform the country of two things—that his Grace means to take his stand in the coming session of Parliament on the corn-law entirely as it is; and that, if Sir ROBERT PEEL again resigns, his Grace feels himself equal to the task of forming an agricultural Government. The speech to which we refer has all the appearance of having been made to answer Lord NORRBY'S speech at Ox ford, in which the idea of a Richmond Ministry was treated as a chimera, and Lord STANLEY was represented, as from authority, as agree ing with Lord NORREYS in viewing a pro tectionist Government as impossible. It is known that Lord STANLEY and the Duke of Rica :dorm have been in close consultation with one another since the former's retirement from the Go vernment ; and we may fairly suppose that the Duke of RICHMOND knows at least as much of Lord STANLEY'S sentiments as Lord NORREIS, who, by his own state ment, had had them only secondhand—from Lord STANLEY'S late Under-Secretary. The Duke of Ric n - MOND, then, proclaims that he has no doubt he can form a Government ; that is, he is not so indelicate as to take for granted that the QUEEN will send for him of all the Dukes, if she should think fit to try a bucolic Government, when next Sir ROBERT goes out ; but the Duke of RICHMOND is the acknowledged leader of the Bond-street bucolics, and, as it is, he goes so far as to " hope that he shall lead the Peers to victory." Well, then, we may look forward to an actual at tempt being made to make a country-gentleman Government. The Duke of RICHMOND is ready to try this ; which, assuredly, if it ever is tried, will be a reductio ad absurdum of the English Constitution. We must suppose that the Duke knows what he is about; but where is he to get his colleagues ? or is he to begin by getting rid of half the offices in the Government, having no persons fit to fill them ? He may so make a virtue of necessity, and win popu larity by retrenchment. But has he any presentable men at all in the Commons? In the Lords his diffi culties may not be so great. There are signs of Peers who have always been supposed to be of temperate character and moderate opinions rallying round the RICHMOND banner. We refer more especially to Lord CARNARVON and Lord Asusurcrox, at the Win chester meeting. But in the House of Commons, where is the efficient capacity among bucolics ? Mr. WODE HOUSE is one of them—a leader among them : see his dreadful exposure yesterday at Norwich. Mr. MILKS, Mr. BANKES, Mr. PUSHY, Mr. STAFFORD O'BRIEN, Sir JOHN TROLLOPS ; we have now mentioned all who have any pretensions to intellect in the protec tionist section of the House of Commons. AVho is there to lead in the House of Commons for the Rich mond Ministry ? It will not be possible for him to degrade a Peer, in order to get a decent leader in the House of Commons ; but this revival of the not un usual practice of making a Peer, to get a fit leader in thei U seli. Butpp.er ilo hutse,e idea of a Richmondwouldbehis only c ha n ce Ministry is chanceofsuiting hmso ridiculous, that the Duke can only speak of it in • order to incite his followers to opposition to better toSir ROBERT PEEL, and in the hope of s o getting terms for the agriculturists, as Mr. O'Cosuiam. uses the question of repeal, to keep up agitation which, though repeal is itself hopeless, will get, as it has already got, much for Ireland. In the Brighton speech, to which we have referred, the Duke of RICHMOND also throws off all delicacy in speaking of the Premier. He scouts the notian of compensation, and " will not treat," he says, " with a man whom he cannot trust." If the uke of R ICHMOND has been mealy-mouthed heretofore, it must be allowed that his language now comes up to the full ideal standard of agricultural indigna tion at Ministerial treachery. No wonder that Lord ARTHUR LENNOX is at last going. A place is booked : for him, of course, in the Richmond Ministry. Be will be aTriton among minnows there. We stated yesterday that several resignations among officers of the Household, and subordinate members of the Government, were expected next week. There are rumours, also, that there will be resignations yet of some Cabinet Ministers. Lord RIPON and Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET, it is said, are still going out. Lord SALISBURY, it is said, is going to throw up the Lord-Lieutenancy of Middle sex, which he received from the present Government, in disgust. We give these merely as rumours. Thera is clearly a commotion in the camp. The par ticular rumours which are in circulation may be in correct; but so many rumours of dissensions and re signations never arise without some foundation. We have but a short time more to wait for the mountain to be delivered; the time of labour fast approaches, and the throes seem very painful. What, after all, if the birth be a mouse? Nearer and nearer as we approach the momentous session which is to decide the question so long and so resolutely argued between protectionists and :free traders, more and more important become the opi nions expressed by the leaders of those two parties. Hitherto, during the continuance of this national agi tation, the League doctrines and the agriculturist doctrines have been fulminated in separate and inde pendent meetings. Auditors have been convened by the advocates of the existing corn-laws, and those auditors have been addressed exclusively by such men as Lord BEAUMONT ; other auditors have been summoned to assemble by the representatives of a free-trade principle, and those auditors have listened solely to the dogmas and deductions of such men as COBDEN : the one party having made itself individually remarkable for the' very nonsensical character of its reasoning ; the other individually remarkable for its catalogue of unanswerable facts and eqtially unanswer able inferences. For the first time, however, last night these two antagonistic forces encountered each other at Norwich, in the persons of ble3srs. COBDEN and Wonzuousu ; a circumstance of the more peculiar interest from its being scarcely two days antecedent to the period of opening Parliament. As might readily have been anticipated from all his previous orations upon the rotten system which at pre sent nominally protects, but actually cripples agricul ture, Mr.CoBDEN's speech was merely another demon stration—clear and emphatic in its application—of the absolute necessity of abolition of restrictions upon trade. One point in the address was, nevertheless, particu larly worthy of observation, and came with exceeding appropriateness to his audience ; it was in eluci dation of the perfect inefficacy of any interference on the past of Parliament to benefit the landed interest " In 1815," said the speaker, " there was a law passed to secure fifty shillings a quarter, and yet in 1822 it would appear, from one number of the Norwich Mercury, there were no less than one hundred and sixty-eight advertisements of farms to be sold.' Assuredly this was a marvellous way of affording as sistance to landlords ; assuredly it was a rare instance of sagacity, and forethought, and calculation, on the part of the landed aristocracy. Yet it is in some measure proportioned with the vast argumentative wisdom of these agricultural orators. The promoters of commercial freedom have done well in restrict ing their allusions to thole frivolous and abortive attempts to sly sarcasms and casual curlings of the lip, when a more direct exposition of their folly would have been an useless expenditure of power—something tantamount to the employment of an avalanche against the webs of a spider. If co operation on the part of the populace can be regarded as a criterion upon the merits of a question, undoubtedly the League must be acknowledged to have obtained that criterion in their favour ; and upon the present most imminent juncture it may not possibly be considered antiquarian to revive that old, and truthful, and oft-quoted ejaculation of JUNIUS—" The people are seldom wrong in their opinions, in their sentiments never." That those sentiments have been evidenced almost unanimously as coincident with the views of abolition, none but a voluntary or involuntary dunce can gain say. Even upon this Norwich meeting, a meeting convened with the approbation of the local mayor, for the express purpose of eliciting a free discussion upon both sides, , the bulk of the parties present were manifestly supporters of the Anti-Corn-law League. Nor is it surprising that a multitude of men, thoroughly convinced of the truth and correctness of their views, should testify some impatience at the repetition of the sound of those phantom arguments which have recently issued, like another Minerva, from the brains of the protectionists, clad in the panoply of assurance. That Mr.WODEHOUSE should hare called down upon himself the disapproba tion of a number of sensible persons cannot be matter of astonishment, when we find him deserting the track of controversy—neglecting the production of any one single fact wherewith to sustain his posi tions—and contenting himself with the idle and self opinionated assertion, " That what is called free trade is nothing more than a beautiful vision, existing only in the imagination of philosophers and theorists, and practically repudiated by all nations." Is this logic —is it common sense—is it, in shcift, worthy of ob taining listeners ? Mr. Wontnousa declares, then, that what the inhabitants of tilt; kingdom are now struggling for so vigorously and so manfully is a de lusion and a dream. Does Mr. WODEHOUSH call the annihilation of import duties upon cotton, a dream— the expunging of four hundred foreign articles from the Customs-book, a dream—the abolition of excise on glass, a dream ? and yet all these are things already accomplished, as we yester day had occasion to remind the public, and all these are but sections in the stupendous volume of fi ee trade. In, this, as in divers other points, the argu ments advanced by the representative of Norwich were misrepresentations of the question in the most extravagant manner conceivable. Is not such a system of proceeding on the part of the agri culturists a misprision of sound judgment ? For within a very brief time, what they proclaim to be a chimera will prove a great, incontestible, and colossal reality. The days of the corn-laws are numbered ; the landed interest is aware of it, and, with the desperation of the knowledge, is endeavouring to eke out its existence, yet a little while, by pretexts that are scarcely specious. Accounts from Athens to the 3d instant state that the COLETTI Ministry, notwithstanding strong efforts on the part of the Opposition, had been successful in securing majorities in the Chambers. For a week after the opening of session great confusion prevailed, and the different parties that generally support COLETTI demanded a reconstruction of the Ministry. On the other hand a coalition was proposed between the Metaxas section and that of which AAAVROCORDATO and ZOGRA.I.HAS are the leaders. As one of the conditions, M. METAXAS wanted to be supported for the office of President, whilst the others demanded that he should unite with them in getting General DELLYANI, a friend to Eng land, elected. In the end, the majority desisted from their wish to have the Ministry reconstituted, and the alliance between MM. MAYROCORDATO and MRTAxAs could not be brought about. The Minis terial candidates were returned in all cases on the first ballot. For the office of President, RHIGA PA LAMEDES obtained 66 votes, METAXAS 32, DELLYANI 42. It thus appears that the French party has pre vailed. We have accounts from Madrid to the 13th. In the Chamber of Deputies the discussion on the Ad dress relative to the negotiations with the Court of Rome led to explanations on the part of the Govern ment. MARTINEZ DB LA ROSA, Foreign Minister, said the Government had done all in its power to ad just the differences, and with some success, for the Porß now addressed her MAJESTY as ISABELLA 11., Queen of SPAIN. The Finance Minister also de clared that all that could possibly be done for the clergy had been accomplished. The Madrid Gazette of the 13th announces that the Minister of the In terior had received a communication from the political chief of Guipuzcoa, stating that a bottle had been found floating in the sea near Motrico, containing a paper, of which only the following words were legible :—" Ship President.—We are blocked up in ice, and we can't live much time our We are dying of hunger I am fainting ..... . If, if " The bottle had been picked up by some fishermen, and delivered to the Alcalde of Motrico, a small town eighteen miles west of St. Sebastian. A copy of the paper had been sent to Mr. BULwER, the British Minister. On the lath the Three per Cents. closed at 33i for cash, and 344-, at sixty days; and the Five per Cents. at 24i at sixty days. In the French Chamber of Deputies, on Monday, the debate on the Address was commenced by M. CORNE, an Opposition Member, who was followed by M. LEYRAUD, but their speeches contained nothing of the slightest interest. Nearly all the journals con tain articles cn the news brought from the United States by the Acadia, which they regard as of a war like character. The Government journals state truly that Congress have proposed certain Bills so outrage ous that, if they pass into a law, war is inevitable. The Opposition papers seem to be more occapied about a coalition of America and France than the merits of the point at issue. "It is impossible," says the Siecle, "to terminate our summary of the ac counts from the TJnited States without expressing a wish, that in the solemn diseussion which is about to be commenced in the Chamber of Deputies, the policy of France with rls t iect to the United States may become the object of a most profound examina tion. In a war purely continental, France and the United States might preserve their mutual inde pendence; but in a contest in which the liberty of the seas and the rights of national flags are necessarily engaged, there is between the United States and us a complete and consolidated alliance." The Constitutionnel, with the most glaring injustice, attacks M. GUIZOT for asserting the rights of France and even attributes to him the annexation of Texas. M. GUIZOT could not possibly have anything to do with that deceitful transaction. France acknow ledged the independence of Texas in 1838—the real cause of the annexation, when we believe Count MOLE was Minister and M. TRIERS was very power ful. M. GuizoT had nothing whatever to do with the affair, and his object, which is truly a French ob ject, is now to guard against similar encroachments ; " if the imprudent words spoken by M. GUIZOT,' says M. TRIERS' paper, " be known sufficiently early in - the United States—words which the English journals so greedily seized upon—they may create the same irritation throughout the country which his speech of last year excited, and cause a complete change of public opinion. Is M. GUIZOT, after having accomplished the annexation of Texas, destined to accelerate the occupation of Oregon ?" The National says, "It appears by the accounts from the United States, beyond all doubt, that public opinion in the Union is in favour of the occupation of the contested territory without any concession to England. At present the solution of the discussion cannot be distant, and even admit- ting that it may be adjourned by some Parliamentary tactics, it will be impotent to prevent the wishes of the nation from being accemplished. Oregon must belong sooner or later to the United States, and if England refuses to yield it, it is war." The Courrier Francais is of opinion that an opening will be found for an arrangement, and notices the fall in the American funds under the dread of war, as a proof that there is a strong feeling against it amongt those without whose aid it cannot be carried on. The intelligence from Berne is important, and leaves no doubt that the constitution of that influ ential canton will be remodelled without delay. The following is an outline of the proceedings which took place in the Grand Council, at the sitting of the 15th ,nst. : " The proposition of the Government was first put to the Tote in thea• words :--' The Grand Council decrees a total revision of the Constitution, and charges a Committee to draw a new one up, as well as to revise specially Art. 96 of the present Constitution, so that should the new Constitution prepared by the Committee be rejected, Art. 96 might be so altered as to render the establishmentof a constituent assem bly possible by legal means.' Out of '2ll Members, 112 voted for this proposition, and 99 against it. The latter de sired a law to be passed forthwith, and ordering the revision to be confided to the care of a constituent assembly, or that the primary assemblies should be consulted on the question of ascertaining to whom the work of revision should be entrusted. This victory of the Government received a check by the adoption of an ad ditional proposition thus worded-' After the nomination of the Committee, the decree of revision shall be presented to the acceptation of the people in the primary assemblies, and there shall be submitted to them, in proper form, the question if they sanction the decisions come to. The Executive Council is charged with the task of communicating the result of this operation to the Grand Council, and of taking such ulterior measures as may be suitable.' This was adopted by 152 votes to 44. The Radical party has gained 40 votes since the ses sion of September. All the Foreign Ministers sent off dis patches immediately after the vote of the Grand Council. The Second Chamber of the States of Saxony adopted by a large majority, on the 14th inst., the proposition of the Committee for a Bill giving to the members of the German Catholic Church in Saxony the right to perform divine ser vice according to their creed in the Protestant churches. A considerable fall took place in the French Funds on Monday, and Railway Shares were also generally lower. The Tin ee per Cents. closed at 82f. 75c. ; the Five per Cents., 121 f. ; the Orleans Railroad Shares, 1,255 f 50e. ; Rouen, 1,020 f. ; llavre , 757 f. 50 c. ; Avignon, 97if. ; Vier zon, 6 1 9 0 0 n f e ; r B o a o u r , d 4 e s a sf u x . 6 B 4 as i fle2, sc. 25. ; Great;f3°uiegtle'Nsosr°fthe Troyes and blontereau, Northern, 746 f.

SOULS' COURT.—(Tnis His Lordship resumed the hearing of the remaining pen lions. r a ster, This was a petition impugning the decision of the 1% with reference to the taxation of a bill of costs of 165/. 115. S( 1 ! t and praying for an order to that effect. It appeared tha the petitioner, Mr. Alford, had employed Mr. Bolton, the respondent, a solicitor, as agent to conduct some law pr e ' ceedings, and item of bill of costs of 251. was objected to by Mr. Alford, on the ground that it was'an unnecessary el pense, and that the case had not been properly conducted. Lord LANGDALE, in giving judgment in the case,, s aid . was content to make the order, though he considere d thaD Mr. Bolton was placed in a situation of areat hardsh i p . had no doubt that the decree referred to was defective, t u f consequence of Mr. Bolton having relief on the promise s ° a gentleman to do something which he had failed to execute. He would now make an order for the payment of the sea fuund by the Master, deducting the sum of 251. IN RE This was a petition on the part SA3IE. of Mr. Bolton, praying for the costs of the petition as well as the costs of tasation. Loiti LANGDALE considered the petitioner entitled to r order to the effect required, which he would accor diagli make.

BAIL COURT.-(T HIS DAY•) (Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.) 13 , TILE QUEEN V. THE TOWN COUNCIL OF TILE CITY AND ROUGH OF LICHFIELD. Sergeant TALFOURD moved for a rule to show cause v lll an attachment should not issue against Charles Simpson for , disobedience of an order of this Court. This was a P r°66 , 4 0 , tion, by way of mandamus, on the part of Mr. S irnP— te against the Town Council of Lichfield, commanding diet? ed make compensation for the loss the applicant had sustl e j, by being deprived of his office of town-clerk. It apPea however, that he had been dismissed for misconell.le. and was not, therefor;, entitled to any compe nsate !: The rule for a mandamus was made absoln; and the return to it alleged a disobedience of order. The claimant had traversed the return, and the e;7 3 came on for trial at the last Stafford assizes. Befor e es , period appointed for the trial the order on which this (ILO tion arose had been made. Although the claimant had ,0 dismissed from his office, he had thought proper to retni n t bs his possession all the memoranda and books belonging to de' Town Couneil. As it was considered necessary for the er,j, fence of the mandamus that an inspection of these P $P s e with the view of making extracts, should be allow ed, application was made to Mr. Justice Wightman, who ordgbcii that full opportunity for inspection should be allowed. iyl order had been so worded, that when the case came fo r t , r oe Lord Denman had postponed trial in conseq,',.. until the following assizes. Since that time various en"e 10 11 yours had been made to persuade Mr. Simpson to co with the Order, but without success. An applications Wet, therefore, made last term to Mr. Justice Matteson fora tics tachment against Mr. Simpson, but, although Mr. ol o t Wightman's order had been made a rule of Court, it had de r been served, and Mr. Justice Patteson thought that, n a rti iii the circumstances, an attachment could not issue. Th e e cl, had since been served, and as the order was still disobey the present application was made.—Rule granted, EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY•) (Sittings in Banco.) THE 'MARQUIS OF BUTE V. SIR JOHN GUEST. This was a special case sent by the Court of ChancerYor, the opinion of the Learned Barons of the Court of Excheqo let It would appear that the Marquis of Bute some time °fi tte st, on lease a piece of land, in Staffordshire, to Sir John the the defendant, for the term of 61 years, and a covenant t he lease provided that the lessee was to erect premises 0n.07, piece of land suitable and proper for carrying on the Ni s ! es' of a glass manufactory, and gave him power to alter or large such premises so often as the exigencies or necessytbs the trade might require. The lessee took possession its property, and in due course built the glass nia nufactOlS o g strict accordance with the terms of the lease. Tile bitu t t he had a frontage to a canal, which was also the propertY„°; the noble lessor, and the canal was made available t„tioa, conveyance of the glass to the market. The spec however, turned out to be a failure, and the lessee ahan., oo c• the manufacture of glass, and the premises were now;, d ivg cupied, and fast falling into decay. The noble lessor, P' ep t of that the traffic on his canal fell off after the abandont9 ocr the premises, applied to Sir John Guest to resume then . ' he facture of glass, alleging that, by the terms of the lerise 4 ol had no right to give it up till the term of his tenors, the expired; but the lessee controverted this constructio n o eej instrument, and the result was, the parties mutuallY agave to refer the matter to an eminent conveyancer, wh o s . quently gave his decision in favour of the noble lessor, awarded that, by the terms and provisions of th e leaseu,rir lessee was bound to ca r ry on th e t ra d e o f A glas s man st turer, whether he lost or gained by it. The ill lesse e, being of his original opinion, carried the case into the, theCl3urt Chancery, and equity referred it to the Barons 01 chequer for their opinion. v g , t, sP,; Mr. WOOD, of the Chancery bar, accordingly no peared to support the case of the Marquis of Bute , and 7. 0 - that as the lease was granted for.the express pun:losloi abling the lessee to build and carry on a glass man be 0 on the piece of land in question, there could hardlY..tye doubt that it was intended that the lessee should carry tap trade of a glass manufacturer till the expiration of the 's7ol, In the cases of Webb v. Plummer, Samson v. EastburP Sol; ton v. Houston add others,,it was ruled by Chief Aletl ee , avd royd and other eminent judges, that when the terro'.,. t iel covenants of a lease lead to the impression that the 1 3 'i r ipg contemplated at the time of granting the lease the c. sr !;,, on of a particular trade or business, and although this Iv tion was not expressly stated in the insts i d or the lessee was bound to carry on such tra (s of business. Now when this lease was made, i t t osit evidently contemplated that the land would always bee gleo, aud without any interruption, for the purposes et a manufactory, and therefore he contended that the leS6e` fheo been guilty of a breach of covenant in a bandoniqpet works. The land was let at the reduced rate of 3° t be' annum, not because that was the real value of it, L b. ° go t cause the carrying on of a glass manufactory en th e i e so would increase the traffic on the lessor's canal, and th oteil never could have been granted had it been conte nlP 4 s that the lessee was to be at liberty to abandon the '- before the sixty-one years expired. Mr. Cnomprow rose to address the Court for the other 046 but he was stopped by t° 1 The Loan CInEF BARON, who intimated that he W ll O 4 see by what rule of construction the terms of the lease be said to bind the defendant to carry o n th e mantlf 3ct 10 .ii glass during the whole period of sixty- one y e ars, if - f ; manufacture was an unprofitable one. The intention ° s od parties was that the concern should be a profitable 04 0 0 if it was not it was absurd to suppose that the defendaltatt bound to carry it on for the t erm o f s i x ty- one years et.'" fh tb° The case must be remitted back to the arbitrator Yi l ` instruction of the Court. 0 61 ' Mr. Baron ALDERSON and Mr. Baron PLATT cone:, and the case will be sent to the arbitrator for hi s r e sideration.
