The Proprietors and Editors of this Paper are desirous, ost 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 political 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 Conduotors, faithfully and firmly supported these principles --seeking at once to sorry then out without violence or personal rancour, and to establish itself in the respect, net only of its Readers, but oven of its Political Antageeists, by a strict regard for Truth and Fair Play, on which grounds alone, as its Editors feel confidant, can any well-intendieg party be ade quately and saccessfully supported. As a Newspaper, the Weekly Chroniele will be Pound to contain a larger quantity of careftilly compiled and well digested reading matter, than any of its contemporaries ; and it has ever given, anti will continue to give, the Rillest digests of the proceedings is 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 independenee from personal influences and party trammels, enables 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 ware commenced with, and will be continued from week to week throughout the present year.

Tie jury without hesitation gave a verdict for the whole amount. For the future this decision will be of great bv_nefit, because it will prevent all men of pro perty from embarking in speculations that are not cf an honest character, and that do not hold out fair prospects of . success. In fact, it will go far to put an end to " bubble companies," and deter most persons from entrusting their money, or furnishing articles to prolisional com mitteemen who have no means to pay. Rut the reckoning to those who have thus bought wisdom by experience will be severe, and hundreds like Mr. BURDETT will become liable for debts which they never anticipated. Notwithstanding the Learned Judge's estimate of human folly, we are inclined to think this lesson will prevent many from again " placing their heads through a halter." We have received Madrid journals of the 14th. In the Chamber of Deputies, Senor LI.oRENTE wished to know on what principle a reduction had been made on certain articles imported from France while the law was not made general, but the Finance Minister declined to give any explanation for the Present. In reference to the depUt for slaves in the island of Cuba, which was to replace the English ship kept on the station for that purpose, MARTINEZ DE LA ROSes said, the arrangement between the two Governments was, that the negroes should be guarded on a point of the coast to be fixed by the Captain-General o Cuba, that the building should be placed at the disposal of the mixed commission, and that the guards and even the servants should be Spanish. With respect to the increase of the navy, the Minister of Marine said, the Government had recently laid in a large store of timber, and had built three new corvettes and two new steamers, be sides a corvette built in the Havannah. At the present moment the Government was building at Carraca a steamer of 200 horse power, and a corvette at Ferrol, besides two steamers of 250 horse power, and one of 200 horse power, building in England, and intended for the Phillippine Islands. The discussion on the Address was again adjourned. On the 14th tha Three per Cents. closed at 34, and the Fives at 24 at 60 days. The Paris papers are chiefly occupied with the liscussion in the Chamber of Deputies on the Address, which, with the exception of a speech made by that amusing personage M. LEDRU ROLLIN, possesses little interest. Not finding any very striking grievances to complain of in respect to the Government, he fell foul of his friends, and denounced M. THIERS and M. ODILON BARROT for abandoning the cause of Par liamentary reform. " The word of reform," said he, " had reechoed through the country, and the Left was asked to join the reformist conference. The )rgan of the Left had, however, declared that no re forms ought to be supported, except such as were ac cepted by the Left Centre, and even by a part of the majority.. It was, therefore, the policy of the Left Centre which triumphed. When he spoke of the Left Centre, he ought to make some restrictions—he ought to except M. BILLAULT and M. DUFAURE, and con fine himself to the President of March 1, and the per sons who sat round him.—(Agitation.) The Hon. Deputy proceeded, in the midst of considerable move ment and agitation in the Chamber, to advance reasons to prove that the policy of M. THIERS ho:h at home Ind abroad was nothing else than that of the present Government." The National joins in the attack, and asserts that there is no hope for the country either in the Right or the Left. The writer then puts the following queries :—" What so great interest pray have we in M. BARROT and his friends ? Why should we oppose his giving himself to M. THIERS, if that pleases him ? Does M. LEDRU ROLLIN believe, by chance, that there is still an abyss between these two fractions of the Opposition ? And if they touch, why lead the country to believe that they are sepa rated? Why leave it the illusion, so long kept up, that in times of difficulty Ministers would be found in reserve with large views, popular principles, inde lependent of the present system, capable of ruling ? Why be indignant that the Left aims at taking power ? For our parts, we do not see the slightest utility in preventing them. We should like to see them there to-morrow ; for all other experiments being made, this one is wanting for the complete instruction of the country." The Legitimatist Qttotidienne joins the hue and cry against both parties, and can see no hope for France, but in the opposition of a very different race )f senators—meaning such men as POLIGNAC and PEYRONNET• That journal says : , "It is useless to dwell on the speech of M. Ledru Rollin. The Hon. Deputy proved that the Left was rielling to pieces every day. lie exhorted the faithful to hold firm ; but where are these faithful to be found ? Ali the activity of parties is collected round M. niers, end M. 'Tiers, as the deputy of the Sarthe truly de clared, is the present system as entirely as NI. Guizot himself ,In the face of such avowals it certainly be romes us Royalists to repeat what we have been main taining for the last fifteen years—that the opposition is r►ot in the Left ; it is a fragile, illusive hope, which is °laced in a party without fixed and well-defined princi ples, and which every day becomes fewer in number, to the profit of the persons governing. Another opposition is required : the point of attack against the Government which consumes us and humiliates us must be made elsewhere. The liberty, the honour of France demand something else besides the impotence and vain recrimi iations of the Left." The Atoniteur publishes two curious letters, ad dressed by the Ambassador of Morocco, after the review of the 17th, to the KING and to the Duke DB NE3IOURS. We know not whether to admire most his devout piety or his skill in flattery. The letter to his Majesty Louis PHILIPPE is as follows : " In the name of God, the Sovereign of Sovereigns, " To his Majesty, the most powerful of Sultans—he ,vho possesses the real force—the great King of the great French nation. " On the part of his dear Ambassador of Morocco, " I come to thank thee for the signal honour thou bast conferred upon us to-day. " Thy children, whom may God protect, have rejoiced, n us, and given us the greatest mark of esteem, by col lecting under our eyes a portion of thy powerful armies, infantry, artillery, and cavalry. " We were astounded at so much obedience, so much )rder, and so much strength. Yes, thy nation deserves that thou shoullst be its Sultan, and thou art well entitled to command such a nation. " Repose, on the one hand, on such a force ; repose , n the other, on justice ; and thy dynasty will rise to the 'ugliest pitch of power. We will daily implore God to increase thy glory, and cover thee with His blessing. " When we tell thee that we pray for thee, we also nean that we pray for thy noble children. . . " Oh, Almighty God ! accomplish even the slightest vishes of the great Salmi' Luuis Philippe. Render his itmerous armies the safeguard of France and Morocco, is well as the terror of his enimies and ours. "Deign to listen to those wi►hes which are conform %hie to justice. " 17th January, 1846." The letter to the Duke of NEMOURS is no less characteristic : " Praise be to the only God ! " Gud is the source of all force and power. " Thanks to thee who thought of causing us so much i..y, and giving us so high a mark of consideration, in showing to us to-day a portion: of your armies. That was the greatest sign of thy friendship for us. Our astonishment and our admiration exceeded all the limits of the sensations of man, when we beheld the troops under thy command—their order, their discipline, and their formidable aspect. " Seeing thee before that army, and amidst thy brothers, I fancied I saw young trees growing round an immense tree, to serve as a support for its branches laden with fruit. That tree is your father and your lord, the great Sultan of France. Continue to aid him, and sup port his long branches, bending under the fruits of justice and glory. " 1 wilt pray God to open for thee the treasures of His b )unty, Hi s to thee a p art i n w hi c h th ou s h a lt need all those gifts. justice, and wisdom; - for futurity reserves Mayest thou follow the footsteps of thy father. Thou and thy brothers keep in your recollection the counsels which this powerful Monarch gives you ; imitate his example ; guided by them, and followed by this splendid army, you will give a new eclat to the glory of France. May God bestow upon you, upon your father, upon your virtuous mother, and upon your children, His favours and benedictions. This writing is much below the im pressions which have filled our hearts and minds in pre sence of the order, the power, and the justice which dis tinguish your army and your Government; nevertheless, wo &sire that France should be made acquainted with this expression of our sentiments, so that those who yet entertained any doubts respecting our friendship should be made thoroughly convinced of it.

There is no public man more deserving of honour from the people than Mr. DUNCOMBE ; and the meeting held last night at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, by the working classes and the members of the trades' associations of the metropolis, to do honour to their champion, was a fitting tribute of gratitude and respect, su,itably rendered on the eve of the day on which he will renew his Parliamentary labours. If we look back through the four years of the Peel Ministry, we find Mr. DUNCOMBE standing out in bold relief, and proudly distinguished by the persevering pursuit of definite aims, and by services actually conferred on the people, in the general apathy of the Liberal Opposition. The Sun will not be accused of being insensible to the great services of Mr. COBDEN and Mr. Vu.mans ; but what they have done since the Whigs went out of office, in 1841, has been done much more out of the House o' Commons than in it, and it must be said that in the House of Commons the champions of the Anti-Corn law League have shown generally an indisposition to take part in any questions besides their own. We do not say this reproachfully, and it is by no means neces sarily a reproach. " One thing at a time " is often a good rule; and if Mr. COBDEN had scattered his energies on other questiona besides the repeal of the corn-laws, we should not be where we are on that question—within reach of victory. But there is no question in which the great bulk of the English peo ple feel an interest—no question of individual wrong, any more than of public grievance—which has not had the aid of Mr. DUNCOMBE'S eloquent, bold, and untiring advocacy. Early in the life of the present Parliament, on the occasion of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S first gift, the income-tax, Mr. Durecoarns wrested, by his tact and perseverance, from an unwilling Government and Parliament a power for the people of petitioning against taxes about to be imposed. If Mr. DUN COMER had done no more than what he has done against the immoral and unconstitutional practice of letter-opening at the Post-office, the people of this country would still owe him a great debt of gratitude. We hope that the Hon. Member for Finsbury, cheered and stimulated by last night's demonstration of gratitude and affection from a most crowded meet. ing, will return to the charge this session, and not rest content till the odious power of seal-opening is entirely swept away. And on another ques tion to which The Sun has lately endeavoured to direct public attention, the state of the representation, Mr. DUNCOMBE is almost the only Member of the Legislature who has continued from time to time to show up the abuses that still exist, and protest against finality in Parliamentary reform. Honour, then, we say heartily with last night's meet ing, to the people's champion. The meeting of last night had for its especial and principal object to honour Mr. DUNCOMBB ; but the series of resolutions passed and spoken to shows it to have been also a meeting chiefly of Chartists. To desire further Parliamentary reform is one thing, and to subscribe to every item of the Char ter is another. We cannot advocate payment of Members of Parliament, which would give the con stituents a power over their Members quite irrecon cileable with deliberation and free action by the latter. We think there are many valid objections to a division of the country into equal electoral districts, apart from the difficulties attendant on a change from the present old established system of constitu encies ; but we entirely go along with Mr. CHRISTIE, one of the very few Members of Parliament present at this meeting, who said— " He did not come there to pledge himself to a particular set of opinions, but he was prepared in the House of Com mons to endeavour, in the words of the resolution, to de s t ro y class legislation—(Great cheering)—by giving more power to the people and less to the dukes in elections—by having larger constituencies and a much wider distribution of the franchise, and by giving the poor voter, whose circumstances made him dependent on the rich and the great, the prote‘7,- den of the ballot." The presence of so few Members of the Legislature on such an occasion is deeply to be regretted. Our legislators do not know, and do not try to know, what is going on among the working classes. The result of the action BARNETT v. BURDETT, tried in the Court of Exchequer, before Mr. Baron ALDERSON and a common jury, is of Test impor tance to the community, and will cause deep regret to many that they were not wise in time, and that they embarked in dangerous speculations without counting the costs. The action was brought by a stationer and printer, in the City, against Mr. JONES BURDETT, nephew of the late Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, to recover the sum of 1191. 10s. for stationery, printing, and other articles, furnished to the Irish West Coast Rail way Company. Mr. BURDETT was a member of the provisional committee, and the plaintiff, knowing pro bably that he was able to pay, and not placing much confidence in the pecuniary abilities of certain others of the provisional committee, sued him for the whole amount. Mr. BURDETT, it further appears, did not consider himself at all liable, for in a note to an appli cant for payment of the account, he replied " that he had no connexion whatever with the Irish West Coast Railway, and had forwarded the application to the solicitors of the Company, as he knew nothing at all about it." The Learned Judge, however, and even the counsel for the defendant, took a different view. The latter admitted that he had no defence to the action as fur hack as October 16th, the period at which the defendant became connected with the Company, Mr. Baron ALDERSON'S words are precise on the point, and ought, therefore, to be generally known : " No possible doubt," said he, " existed as to the liability of the defendant. The defendant became responsible from the day when he consented to act on the provisional committee, and that was on the 16th e o t efrr.o frown that defendant day w h which was h a liable e tno enteredal l o co f nt O ra ct into for thP purposes of the company, whilst the party who made those contracts for the Company was in the position of the agent of the committee, For an? , debts inctirred before the 16th of October Lyons and Avignon (Talabot), 5121.; ditto (Lecointe), 5071. ; ditto (Coiepsguie Meridionale). 503 f. 50c. ; Bordeaux and cette (Mackenzie), 502 f. ; ditto (Espeleta), 507 f. 50c. ; Caen, (Delamarre), 504 f.

Mr LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, It gives me great satisfaction again to meet you in Parliament, and to have the opportlmity of re. curring to your assistance and advice. I continue to receive from my allies, and from other foreign Powers, the strongest assurances of the desire to cultivate the most friendly relations with this country. I rejoice that, in concert with the Emperor of Russia, and through the success of our joint media tion, I have been enabled to adjust the differences which had long prevailed between the Ottoman Porte and the King of Persia, and had seriously endan gered the tranquillity of the East. For several years a desolating and sanguinary warfare has afflicted the States of the Rio de la Plata. The commerce of all nations has been in terrupted, and acts of barbarity have been committed, unknown to the practice of a civilised people. In conjunction with the King of the French, I am endeavouring to effect the pacification of those States. The Convention concluded with France, in the course of last year, for the more effectual sup pression cf the slave trade, is about to be carried into immediate execution by the active co-operation of the two Powers on the coast of Africa. It is my desire that our present union, and the good understanding which so happily exists between us, may always be employed to promote the interests of humanity and to secure the peace of the world. I regret that the conflicting claims of Great Britain and the United States in respect of the ter ritory on the North-Western Coast of America, although they have been made the subject of re peated negotiation, still remain unsettled. You may be assured that no effort consistent with national honour shall be wanting on my part to bring this question to an early and peaceful termination. GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS, The Estimates for the year will be laid be fore you at an early period. Although I am deeply sensible of the importance of enforcing economy in all branches of the expenditure, yet 1 have been compelled, by a due regard to the exigen cies of the public service, and to the state of our Naval and Military Establishments, to propose some increase in the estimates which provide for their efficiency. Mr LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, I have observed with deep regret, the very frequent instances in which the crime of deliberate assassina tion has been of late committed in Ireland. It will be your duty to consider whether any measures can be devised calculated to give increased protection to life, and to bring to justice the perpe trators of so dreadful a crime. I have to lament that, in consequence of a failure of the potato crop in several parts of the United Kingdom, there will be a deficient supply of an article of food, which forms the chief subsistence of great numbers of my people. The disease by which the plant has been affected, has prevailed to the utmost extent in Ireland. I have adopted all such precautions as it was In my power to adopt for the purpose of alleviating the sufferings which may be caused by this calatnity ; and I shall confidently rely on your co-operation in devising such other means for effecting the same bene volent purpose as may require the sanction of the Legislature. I have had great satisfaction in giving my assent to the measures which you have presented to me from time to time, calculated to extend Commerce, and to stimulate domestic skill and industry, by the repeal of prohibitory, and the relaxation of protective, duties. The prosperous state of the Revenue, the in creased demand for labour, and the general im provement which has taken place in the internal condition of the country, are strong testimonies in favour of the course you have pursued. I recommend you to take into your early consi deration whether the principles on which you have acted may not with advantage be yet more exten sively applied, and whether it may not be in your power, after a careful review of the existing duties upon many article; the produie or manufac ture of other countries, to make such further reduc tions and remissions as may tend to insure the con tinuance of the great benefits to which I have ad verted, and, by enlarging our commercial intercoursel to strengthen the bonds of amity with Foreign Powers. Any measures which you may adopt for affect ing these great objects will, I am convinced, be accom panied by such precautions as shall prevent perma nent loss to the Revenue, or injurious results to any of the great interests of the country. I have full reliance on your just and dispassionate consideration of matters so deeply affecting the public welfare. It is my earnest prayer that, with the blessing of Divine Providence on your councils, you may be enabled to promote friendly feelings between dif ferent classes of my subjects, provide additional security for the continuance of peace, and to main tain contentment and happiness at home, by in creasing the comforts and bettering the condition of the great body of my people. THE Hzau WIND.—The wind has been blowing in gusts all this morning, and occasionally with considerable violence. A ludicrous accident was occasioned . by one of th ese gusts about eleven o'clock. Three of those enormou s ly high perambulating advertising carriages which ann ounce to the world the fact that M. Jullien s concertsper forming are now per forming at Covent Garden, were being driven slowly over Waterloo Bridge in procession, when a sudden gust of wind upset them all at the same moment, prostrating the horses and drivers in the mud. Fortunately no injury occurred, but we hope that these narrow-wheeled, high unballasted carriages will not be driven out again on a windy day. had they blown over on any:vehicle Passing at the time serious consequences might have resulted. PAYING THE ENEMY IN THEIR OWN COIN.—In a few days, the enemy's fleet being reported to be on the move Captain Durham sent to Lord Nelson t o rem i nd his Lordship ' that there were 750,000 dollars on board the Defiance, which he had brought out from England, and to inquire what was to be done with them. Lord Nelson answered, "If the Spaniards come out, fire th e d o l lars at them, and pay them off in their own coin."—Naval Life and Services of Admiral Durham. DARING ROBBERY IN TM& VICE-CIIANCELLOR'S CoveT.—About noon, on Saturday last, some daring thief stole from the Court of the Vice-Chancellor, Lincoln's Inn, a boxwood thermometer, which hung against the wall in a most conspicuous part of the court. EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DA'Y (Sittings in Banco.) DOE DEM RUSSEL V. LAMBETH. This was an actio.i in ejectment, brought by the Cor poration of London to recover possession of certain land and premises at Hampstead, occupied by a company, called the Harap-tend Water Company. The corpora tion had leased the land to the company some years ego, and the latter not having complied with the terms of the lease it was at an end. Th'e defendant was the sur viving trustee of the company. Mr. ASHLEY applied for leave to enter up jugdment against the casual ejector, the defendant having allowed interlocutory judgment to pass by default. The LORD CHIEF BARON—Take a rule to show cause. NORTON V. EDGELY. This was an action of assumpsit brought to r, , cover 2681. 55., the amount of a bill of exchange, drawn by de fendant upon a Wm. Memos, and endorsed by the for mer, and paid to Joseph Raleigh and Co., of Manchester. who gat the same discounted by Joseph Norton, the plaintiff. The action was tried at the spring assizes held in York, before Mr. Justice Cresswell, when the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff on some of the 'issues, and for the defendant on other:. In Michaelmas term following, Mr. Martin, for the plaintiff, obtained a rule nisi to show cause why a new trial should not be had, on the ground that certain material evidence had been rejected on the trial, which, if it had been received, the plaintiff would have obtained a com plete verdict. Mr. WATSON now appeared against the rule, and con tended that it ought to be discharged. The Learned Counsel stated the facts of the case at some length. It appeared that the bill was an accommoda tion bill in favour of Raleigh, who was at the time the bill was given a partner of the plaintiff's in a house in Nottingham. The question then was, whether there was a sufficient consideration be tween the plaintiff and defendant to enable the former to recover from the latter, as endorser, the amount of the bill. To settle that point, a declaration of Raleigh, who soon after getting the bill discounted became a bankrupt and afterwards emigrated to New South \Vales was rej, cted at the trial ; it was requested by the plaintiff to have a new trial at the Spring Assizes at York in 1846, where the evidence of Raleigh would be put in under a commission sent to New South Wales, for the purpose of obtaining it. The evidence of Raleigh, it was said, would prove the consideration, and show that the defendant was a debtor unto the plaintiff. Now he, the Learned Counsel, denied this, and also contended that the judge was right in rejecting the de claration of Raleie,h, as he was not a competent witness in the cause, being an interested party. Mr. MARTIN contended that the rule ought to be made absolute, on the ground that the evidence of Raleigh was receivable and important to enable a jury propsrly to decide the ease. The COURT took time to consider the case. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) Their Lordships were engaged all the day in hearing registration appeals, but none of the cases argued in volved anything beyond disputes about technical corn plian !es with the statute, and of course of little or no interest except to the parties concerned. SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY. (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCIIELL.) BAIGENT V. GRAY.-FRUIT TREES V. CORN• LAWS. This was an action brought to recover damages for waste in the destruction of fruit-trees, &c. Defendant suffered judgment to go by default. Mr. BALL, who appeared for the plaintiff, said the facts of the case were very simple, and not denied by the defendant, who had suff ere d judgment to go by de fault. The plaintiff was the proprietor of a cottage and garden at Wimbledon, Surrey, which he let to the de fendant as tenant from year to year. When defendant took possession there were some favourite apple and pear trees, but defendant from some cause cr other, per haps having some remote reference to the corn-law question, rooted up the fruit•trees, although he was warned not to do so, and sowed the land with wheat, whether with profit or loss it was not the pr-sent object to inquire, but the plaintiff had been deprived of hie favourite fees, which he now sought compensation for. Witnesses were who, however, could only prove that the trees were venerable, but could not at tach any particular value; they, however, considered the trees ornaments to the garden. The UNDER-SIIERIFF said it was very loose evidence of damage, and the jury must form:their own estimate ; in his opinion a very small amount would meet the justice of the case.—The jury gave a verdict for 31. lILBRO'-STREET.-(T HIS DAY. William Johnson was charged with stealing nine shill lings, under the following circumstances :—Last evening the prisoner went into the shop of Mr. Copps, of No. 34, Norfolk- street, Middlesex Ilospital, and ordered a shil ling's worth of wood, to be sent to No. 30, Howland street, Fitzroy-square, with change for a half-sovereign. The errand boy. who was sent with the wood and change, was met by the prisoner, who, giving him a counterfeit half-sovereign, received the nine shillings. The boy dis covered that it was a bad one. and gave him into custody. Inspector Clement, of the E divi-ion, said that he had received inforissation from every division of the metro politan police force of a person, answering the descrip tion of the prisoner, having passed counterfeit sovereigns and half-sovereigns under similar circumstances. Mr. HARDWICK ordered the prisoner to stand com mitted for trial on the present charge of stealing the nine shillings, but to be brought up this day week, in order that the other charges may be brought against him. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS, • CITY TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool 'yesterday were 7,000 bale including 1,000 on speculation. The market was steady, and prices were pretty firmly supported. Not much was done in Shares, but they looked firmer. The failure of the extensive diamond merchants, Messrs. Emanuel, and the stoppage of a very large firm in the Irish and American provision ti ades, has excited some anxiety, and an apprehension that the shyness exhi bited in granting discount accommodation until the railway deposit question is settled—that bugbear in the money mar ket—may, by shutting up the usual channels, lead other houses into temporary difficulties. The City is but thinly attended to-day, and not much, business is doing, which is usually the case on the day of Parliament opening. The Funds have been quiet, and parties abstain from dealing BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.) Bank Stock 205% 3 per Cent. Reduced Annuities 95% 95 95% 3 per Cent.
