This w is greater than the Tories tspected, and would have been still more satisfactory, had all the Reformers done their duty. But there are trimmers among them—tnen who speculate on a change of Ministry, and who are conse quently shy of mixing themselves up too closely with what they imagine to be a declining Government. Now, these men should be made an example of. The Liberal consti• tuencies throughout the country should look closely to the k-t of last night's division, and call upon those who were absent from the House, to account for that absence. The Spanish discussion was one which should have rallied all true Reformers round the Ministry, for it was a question of 1;f0 or death to the principle of Reform, here, as well as abroad. Had the Tories succeeded, they would at once have ensccnced themselves in Downing-street ; Ireland would Lave been convulsed to its centre ; distrust and dis content universally rife in England ; and the flames of war lighted up throughout Europe. But, thank heaven, justice and common sense have triumphed ; and Sir ROBERT PEEL'S hopes of an immediate possession of office are ad journed sine die. Ministers will persevere in their present policy towards Spain ; Reform will still proceed ; and the Tories be compelled, as before, to wither in the " cold shade" of Opposition. If ever there was a motion detrimental to the moral in fluence of the faction, it was that brought forward so ex ultingly by Sir H. HARDINGE. Stripped of all the glozing sophistry which the Tories flung around it, what was its m.nu object ? Why, to prove that as the British Legion had met with reverses—it was no longer trust-worthy— no longer fit to represent the national 'heroism ! And who was it that insisted so pertinaciously on this argument ? One of the veterans of the Peninsular cam paign, who must himself have known—none better— that war, even under the most auspicious circumstances, is full of vicissitude, and that the vanquished of to-day, may be the victor of to-morrow. Did Sir H. HARDINGE'S great idol, the Duke of WELLINGTON, never meet with reverses? Did he never lose ten thousand men in the re treat from Burgos? Suppose, that the Opposition of those da)s had made that single disaster the peg whereon to hang a three nights discussion—suppose they had said, that in consequence of such defeat, his Grace and his brave troops were no longer qualified to represent the " national heroism"—what would have been the reply of the Tories ; what the feeling of the country ? Why, both would have repelled such an idea with indignation, and visited those who urged it with their bitterest contempt. Yet we have lived to see these same Tories insisting on this same argument, and making the sufferings of their gal lant countrymen, the ladder on which to mount to power Never yet was party so degenerated as these Tories. The old school, however bigotted, had at least manliness and sincerity to recommend it ; but the new school is re markable only for its low pedlar cunning—its sophistry— and its inconsistency. The old Tories stuck to their text ; they did not hoist false colours : but the modern Tories depart from it every day in the week ; they are Reformers, yet hate Reform ; advocates for the people, yet holding them in supreme abhorrence ; statesmen of the day, yet with their thoughts exclusively directed to the past. Is it for such men to presume to talk of the vacillations of the Ministry? Before they condemn their opponents, let them justify the inconsistencies of their own leader, Sir ROBERT PEEL. Let them explain to us how it happens, that he who is averse to every practical and intelligible measure of Re form ; who has opposed every Ministerial plan that the cointry has sanctioned with its approval ; expects to take offiec!, without eating up—digest he cannot—every syllable that bo has uttered in Parliament for the last year and upwards. When these discrepancies are explained to our satisfaction, then we will admit that the faction, of which the Right fl6.p. Baronet is the organ, have some right to complain of the inconsistency of Government. But till then, let it hold its peace. Never was there a more humiliating figure than the Tories cut last night ! Take, for example, the speech of one of their Magnates, Sir WILLIAM FOLLETT, " He had no interest whatever," said this adroit special pleader, " in the success of Don CARLOS ;" he abhorred his " de crees and acts ;" was “. neither their abettor, apologist, nor vindicator"—yet notwithstanding this, he was warmly in favour of a motion, one of the main objects of which, was to help this discarded of the Tories to a Throne ! It ,has been well said, " tell me your company, and I'll to 11 who you are," and the Tory party is a happy ex e mplification of the truth of this old adage. Their sopp k irt of Don Nltnuet. and Don CaaLos ; their sym pathy with their reverses, never shown to their own brave countrymen of the Legion ; their gentle deprecation of these 'Princes' errors ; and their avowed approval of their ,beneficent policy ;—these things prove, beyond a doubt, " who" and what the Tories " are:' Despotism trium phent is their idol. Despotism in reverses, the object of th,•ir fondest commiseration. Their lips, it is true, repu diate. ,Don CARLOS, but their heart yearns towards him. 11, i, e.he impersonation of Toryism. Hence the motion of Sir h'ENRY HARDINGE. Hence the wish to obstruct publi • business, and to embarra ss Ministers b y a debate of three nights' duration. It is: with deep regret that we come to the consideration Of Mr_ ROE - eta:es speech. It was impolitic—which is tad. It was ungenerous—which is worse. The Hon. G en t e/ Imi evidently fancied that Ministers were in ex ros ; be was resolved, therefore, to show his valour by giving them the last kick. It is somewhat singular that the only two occasions on which this Gentleman has made a dead-set at Government have been, first, at the open ing of the Session, when he knew nothing of their plans ; and secondly, in the Spanish debate, when he fancied that they could not do without his support. We cannot commend such conduct. There is a want of magnamity about it, irreconcileable with our notions of a manly, strait forward Radical. Has Mr. ROEBUCK more hopes of a PEEL, than of a MELBOURNE, Cabinet ? Does he suppose that the former will go on, where the latter would shrink back ? That the cause, of which he is unquestionably an able advocate, will gain more by the retirement, than by the continuance, of the present Government in office ? The secret of Mr. ROEBUCK'S conduct may be found, we sus pect, in his exceeding love of notoriety. He is ambitious of moving in a sphere of his own—of being a great, and unapproachable Unit. And so he is ; and so, we have the pleasure of assuring him, he is long likely to be. The Re formers in the House evince, as yet, no symptoms of coming round to his way of thinking. They stand by the Ministers, who, take them all in all, are unquestionably the best set of men we have yet had. They do not shift to all points of the compass, like the Tories ; or run, like Mr. Rornucx, afterAthe first Will-o'-the-wisp that catches their eye ; but move steadily onward—not perhaps so quick as we could desire, but still at a pace quite sufficient to sa tisfy the rational expectations of the country. Lord PALMERSTON'S speech was incomparably the most effective that has been delivered this session. It left no thing unsaid—no argument unanswered—no sophistry un exposed. Sir ROBERT PEEL attempted a reply, but it was a very so-so affair, as he himself felt, by the soreness and ir ritability that occasionally characterized his remarks. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, who closed the debate, con trasted the situation of the country when the Tories threw up office in 1830, with what it was at the pre sent period, in. his most pungent and sarcastic manner. His MAJESTY, he said, need not be afraid to dine at Guild hall now ; and a farmer might go to rest, without fear of being roused from his nap by the sight of his barns in a state of conflwiration. Let the Tories. but resume office, and the farmer will do well to sit up all night ; and his MAJESTY to decline the next invitation to dinner he may receive from the Lord Mayor. The very circumstance that a motion such as that of Sir HENRY HARDINGE should be brought forward in a Bri- tish Parliament must excite deep regret in the breast of every freeman, and call forth the indignation of the ene mies of despotism against the man who was placed on a throne to defend liberal institutions, and is now the first to trample on them. Had LOUIS PHILLIPPE remained faith ful to his engagements, such a motion never would have been made by any Member of the .House, if we except Mr. GFOVE PRICE ; nor would the powers of Europe have so long lavished their money in support of Don CARLOS. In 1834, when the King of the FRENCH was believed to be sincere, the Duke of WELLINGTON avowed his determi• nation to maintain the Quadruple Treaty, and one of the first acts of his Government was to send stores and arms to Spain in support of the QUEEN ; that treaty was to be maintained at all hazards, and ths, foreign policy of the MELBOURNE Administration strictly adhered to. Whiit is his policy now ? To recall the British Legion, to limit i❑ every posskle way the services of the British navy and marines, to leave Don Carlos to march on -Madrid, and satiate his revengeful spirit in the blood of those men whose cause the Duke but two years ago engaged to defend. That is the policy now, however the party may conceal their real sentiments. Louts Pill LIPPE and the Northern Powers have come to an understanding on the nature of the support which he is to give to Constitutional Government ; and the frequent visits of some of our Tory statesmen to Paris since the spring of 1835 and the period at which the motion has been brought forward, leave little doubt that they have been parties in the conspiracy to suppress liberal institu tions in the Peninsula. If we look for a moment to the effect of Louts PHILIPPE'S conduct on the Carlist troops, and also on those who profess to serve the cause of the Qu EEN, but are ready to join the successful party, we can he at nojoss to account for the present posi tion of affairs in Spain. But the friends of liberty have not mile!) to fear. Though Loris PHILIPPE and the Northern Powers combine to put down liberty, and though they are secretly abetted in that by the Tories in England, the spirit which animates the great portion of the people of France and England, is too powerful to be conquered. The leading statesmen in France, and the greater part of the French people, are friendly to the cause of the QUEEN ; and but a short period nsust elapse, before the King of the FRENCH is compelled to accept a Ministry entertaining the samq sentiments, and ready to support the Liberal party in England against Don Calmos, and the despotic Powers of Europe. la another part of The Sean will be seen some extracts from a letter addressed by Mr. O'CONNELL to the Secre tary of the General Association of Ireland. The Hon. Gentleman hesitates not to state his conviction that the restoration of Tory domination would occasion a convul sion, and be a signal for the commencement of civil war. To avert so dreadful a calamity he advises Tiis countrymen to reiterate the cry of agitation from Cape Clear to the Giant's Causeway—from Connemara to the Hill of Howth. " Call (be says) upon your gracious Sovereign to save the high-minded, the generous, the brave, the loyal people of Ireland from the prospect of scenes at the sight of which human nature would shudder—seek the shield of the be neficent Monarch who now happily rules these realms, to protect his faithful people of Ireland from the machinations of their and his enemies. "Especially pray the representatives of the British nation to rally round the first Ministry which ever showed them selves the real friends of Ireland, and to declare their entire confidence in the policy which has dictated a course of conduct equally wise and useful to the entire empire." The course which Mr. O'CONNELL recommends his countrymen to adopt is not only strictly constitutional, but seems best calculated to secure the integrity of the empire, and to save us from the horrors of that civil war at which the Hon. Gentleman deprecatingly glances as an alterna tive within the limits of possibility. The Paris Journals of Tuesday have all been received. They bring a report of the proceedings in the Chamber of Deputies, up to the departure of the mails. On Tuesday, Count Mor.E, the President of the Council, attended by his colleagues, occupied, for the first time since the last re construction of the Cabinet, the Ministerial benches. The business of the day was commenced with the reading of a document by the President of the Council, which might be indifferently called a Royal Message and a Ministerial Manifesto. It commenced with informing the Chamber that the marriage treaty between the Duke of ORLEANS and the Princess of MECKLENBURG-SCHWERIN had been concluded ; and that, as a matter of course, the Chamber _would be called upon to provide an establishment for the DUKE and DUCHESS, commensurate with their future ex pectations. The KING left the Chamber to fix the amount. The President of the Council next informed the Chamber that the KING had given his consent to the withdrawal of the NEMOURS Appanage Bill. This is a great triumph obtained by the people of France over both the KING and his Ministers. The KING saw that the Appa nage Bill would be lost, and therefore he consented to with draw it, to escape the consequences of so disgraceful a de feat. Respecting their own conduct, Ministers refused to offer any pledge. They were known, and would be judged by their acts, not by their professions. So be it, say we. When the PRESIDENT retired, Marshal CLAUSEL delivered a long speech on the Supplementary Credits' Report, in which he denounced the conduct of the Government towards him in depriving him of his command, without allowing him an opportunity of wiping off the stain which the defeat before Constantine had cast on his military reputation. He in stanced the liberal treatment that the Duke of WELLING TON had received from his Government when driven from before Burgos, and maintained that he himself was not less worthy of similar indulgence. The debate had not terminated up to post hour. FRENCH FUNDS.-PARTP, APPIL 18. Five per Cents., 106 f 90c. 80c. Ssc. 90c. Four per Cent., 98f. 25c. 15c. 10c. three per Cents., 79f 79f. sc. 79f.

The Money Market, which daily goes on from bad to worse, in consequence of recent advices from Europe. is the only important topic dwelt upon in these journals, Several important failures have taken place in New York, New Orleans, and other commercial districts throughout the Union. On the I ith ult. some stocks bad fallen ten per cent. in New York, and others were threatened with a decline equally rapid and ruinous to the holders. The want of money was so extreme, that the great commercial house of Messrs. JOSEPH and Co. bad been compelled to suspend payments ; and to add to the pressure, advices were received, which were afterwards found to be too true, that the firm of HERMANN, BRIGS, and Co., of New Orleans, had failed to the amount of three mil lions of dollars. Several Banks had united to sustain the credit of this House, but up to the date of live pa pers nothing had been done in the way of a eedaite ar rangement. Letters from Vera Cruz announce the arrival of Ge neral SANTA ANA in Mexico, where he was received with great coolness by the people, and still gre ate • by the public authorities. On the 25th of February t►e Mexi can Congress had nominated General BUSTAMENTE to the Presidency, and it was expected that he would be re turned by an immense majority. It is expected that the new President will formally disannul the treaty signed by SANTA ANA, recognizing the independence of Texas. Want of space prevents us from inserting to-day the ob servations which we had prepared on the Finsbury Reform dinner. But the subject is so important, that a reference to it at any time cannot fail to command the attention of all honest Liberals. Nothing of any importance took place in any of the Courts of Law up to the time of our going to pross. ROCHDALE ELECTION. CLOSE OF THE POLL. J. Fenton, Esq. C. Royds, Esq . 383 339 Majority for Mr. Fenton This makes a difference of two votes in favour of the Liberals. The result as to Rochdale is, that out of 695 votes in 1835, the Tories had a majority of 43; and now, of 722 votes, the Reformers have a majority of 44. If it be said that the Re formers have carried this election, as the Tories did the last, by the gin-shop and beer-barrel, we may answer that, while there were a great number of open houses for the other party, the Reformers had not one open house throughout the borough ; that the Committee set out with the declaration that they would sanction none but lawful expenses, and they possessed no fund out of which to defray any; and that, during Monday and Tuesday, tl:e great majority of the persons to be seen stag gering along the streets, either wore blue favours, or shouted " Blue for ever," or gave some other equally strong proof of their having been in the strongholds of the Tories.—illanches ter Guardian.

IRELAND. DUBLIN, APRIL 18. GENERAL ASSOCIATION.—The meeting held this day derives its importance chiefly from a letter which was read by the Secre tary, to whom it had been addressed by Mr. O'Connell. In this communication Mr. O'Connell strenuously calls on the people to agitate from shore to shore. " We are threatened (writes the Hon. Gentleman) with a restoration of the execrable dominion of the Tories—a restoration which, in Ireland, would be fertile in tears and in blood, and, in England, would hazard convulsion, if not promote, in the existing condition of the operative classes, actual revolution." It is the duty of Irishmen, therefore, to exert every faculty " to prevent so horrible a catastrophe as must ensue from the assumption of power by the Tory . party. In another part of his letter Mr. O'Connell writes, " My advice is, that every county, city, town, and parish in Ireland, address his Majesty the King, and petition the House of Commons, praying that the mild, the paternal, the conciliatory, the peace-producing, and, above all, the impartial and the just administration of the af fairs of Ireland, by the present Ministry, should be continued and perpetuated." The Hon. Gentleman then states in detail what objects should constitute the substance of the petitions the adoption of which he suggests, intimating that it is highly expedient that as many of such petitions and addresses as possible should be transmitted, without any the least delay. Mr. O'Connell continues—" I do not fear a Tory invasion of power. Peel is, to be sure, ready to take power—aye, and to re tain it upon any conditions. But the Reform Bill, short as it is of its proper dimensions, renders his present seizure of that power impossible. His only chance is some fastidious or punctilious abandonment of office by the present possessors This we must guard against." In conclusion, he exhorts the people "to rally for the continuance of the present Government. In our great ex periment, respecting the value of the Union, it is absolutely neces sary that we should, on our part, do everything we can to place the Union in the most favourable point of view to the Irish people."

THE FUNDS.-(THJS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE OCLOCIC. Very disastrous accounts in respect to commercial affairs have been received this morning from the United States. Two Hebrew houses of the first respectability have failed ; also a house in the fur business in New York ; and the house at New Orleans, of which we had previous notice, who stopped payment for seven millions of dollars, it appears that their affairs had not been settled by the last accounts. These unfortunate events we have great fear will tend to create great alarm in this country, particularly with the mer chants connected with the United States. One of the above houses it is reported, has stopped for 11 millions of dollars. For further particulars of these events we must wait the arrival of another packet from New York. At present it causes a very great sensation in the City, fearing that it will be the cause of more extensive failures both in this country and the United states. - - THE FUNDS.

(From the Mercantile Advertise, and New York Advocate.) " NEW YORK, SATURDAY MORNING, MA R.CH lt;• " Great excitement was caused in this city on Thursday evening, and yesterday forenoon, on the arrival of the express mail, which brought the news of the suspension of several extensive mercantile houses in New Orleans, some of which had large commercial trans" actions with several houses in this city, among whom is the hous e of J. L. and S. Joseph and Co., whose liabilities are so large with some of the New Orleans houses that they thought it prudent ten , " porarily to suspend their payments yesterday morning. " NEW ORLEANS, MARCH B.—The failures continue. To-dal two more houses went by the board. What the effect is to be upon stocks we cannot say ; but, so far as the general business of the ell is concerned, we do not apprehend any serious results. TemP° - rarily a slight check has been given to that briskness in business fo r which our city has been so remarkable, but a few days will bri4 all right again." (From the Courier and Enquirer.) " NEW ORLEA Ns, MARCH B.—FAILURES.—The reports this head were so contradictory even at the office of the notary, oh ° protests for the different banks, that I have abstained from writing until I have been able to make the fullest inquiries, the result 0 f which is ; " The stoppage of the old house of Hermann and Son father). " Ditto ditto of Hermann and Brigs (the son). " Ditto ditto of Thomas Barrett and Co., in which there is a ir other son of Mr. Hermann, senior, in partnership. " That is to say, that the three houses of Hernial who were closely connec t e d, h ave d e fi n it e l y stoppe d ; of T. Barrett and Co. to-day, when Mr. Barrett resigned 5 situation as Director of the Gas Company. Great exertion have been made to support thi s h o u se , but their cennel i e,, with the other two rendered useless and insufficient the means pla ce ': at their disposal. The liabilities of the thr ee es t a bli s h m ents sf ° variously stated at from 9,000,000 dollars to 10,000,000 dollars' but it is expected that T. Barrett and Co. will be enabled to re" sume their payments next month. " The house of Lee, Maddox, and Wood, after a short 'We n . ; sion of one day, have resumed their payment s a nd o p era tions, se it was found that they had ample means to m ee t ever y d e mand uP °— „ them, anti their credit is unimpaired. " The reports that are in circulation concerning two more re; spectable houses are destitute of foundatio n , an d cons equently " abstain from givinc , you their names. " The amount of bills drawn by upon the houses of mann, and which will be returned protested to New York, is riously estimated at from 1,200,000 dollars to 1,500,000 dolls" but it is generally supposed that they must be secured by the alln u t % of shipments of cotton effected by the Hermanns, and consigned is the agent of the New York house at Liverpool. I hope that t h is the case." Ninv ORLEANS, MAl:xi' 9.—We learn that the Messrs. P d . sephs have received a letter from Messrs. Hermann, Briggs, $1 .4 Co., dated " New Orleans, March 10, a t 11 a . m ., which, 0 ti sent by express to Mobile, wh ere it was ma il e d on th e 12th, ic says, all the banks have come into the arrangement to earl through." to " DEATH or GOVERNOR YATES.—We understand that letters were received in town yesterday, stating that Ge v j e e ' o - c e Yates expired at three o'clock p.m. o n S un d a y l as t, a t his resid er in Schenectady.
