The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack al Five o'clock. After the presentation of several petitions and some desul tory conversation on the subject of the business of the House _ _ The Earl of ItipoN rose to move— "That the thanks of this House be given to the Right Hon. Lieut -General Sir HENRY HARDINGE, Governor-Ge neral of India, Knight Grand Cross of the' Order of the Rah, for the energy and ability with which be directed the military means at his disposal, to the re pelling of the unprovoked in-mi;ion by the Seikh army of the dominions of the British Government, and of the pro tected States upon the left bank of the Sutlej ; and also for the firmness and gallantry with which he directed the opera- Hum; of that portion of the army under his immediate com mand, in the afternoon and night of December 21, 1845, and on the morning of the 22d, upon which occasion the enemy's defences were carried by storm, the greater part of their ar tidery captured, and their subsequent attempts to regain what they had lost repeatedly defeated. "That the thanks of this Home be given to Gen. Sir HUGH GOUGH, Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath, Commander-in-Chi'-'f of the forces in the East Indies, for the distinguietied valour with which he led the ,several at tacks u'on the enemy in the battl ed o f th e 18th, 21st, and 22d of December, 1845, displaying, in conjunction with the Governor-General, a brilliant example to the troops of per severance rind courage in critical circumstances, and of ir resistible ardour in the several attacks made upon the enemy. " That this House desires to tender its thanks to Major- General Sir HAnity . SMITH', Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath, to Major-General WALTER RALEIGH GILBERT, and to Major-General Sir JOHN LITTLER, Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath, and to the several officers under their command, for the eminent services rendered by them in the recent arduous and successful operations. " That the thanks of this House be given to the non-com missioned officers and private soldiers (European and native), for the perseverance and fortitude maintained by them at Moadkee, on the 18th of December, 1843, and for the daring valour with which they forced the enemy's intrenchments at Ferozeshah on the 21st and 22d of December, captured most geat j p f h is guns, and finally compelled the Seikli army, of y superior numbers, to retire within their own frontier. " That this resolution be signified to them by the com manders of the several c° p The Nobl e Earl wenta r t - g s. reat length into the history of the of eventsßwhichzT h s a i d Na t i ke u n place in the Punjaub, from the death that in November last p the the present time. It appeared information that it was Governor-General had received intention of the Seikh army to und er t a k e an invasion of the British terH toeies at several points simultaneously, and the Governor. General had ordered the to concentrate at such a point as would ena bl e them army move at once to wards any direction to meet an invading army, at the same time Ferozepore and Loodianah w ere strengthened. Shortly afterwards the Seikhs plan of o p erations was aban doned, and they assembled in force at the S ut l ej, and or ders were given for the British force to concentrate at Umballa, and when the advance of the Seikhs took place, it was evident that Ferozepore, a a n n d d notnhaLz es weredi f anah, was threatened, and the Loodianahc ordered to concentrate at lus ean , apoint between o Loodianah and Ferozepore. The Seikhs e had in the mean time crossed the Sutlej, a part of their force had entrenched themselves in the neighbourhood of Ferozepore, and anotlierfrom portion had pushed forward to meet t he army advancing Buseean, and placed themselves between the at advancing British army and Ferozepore. The armies the Siekits were defeated, retreated, armyand c ommunicatio ns were opened between the advancing of Ferozepore. Sir J. LITTLER, with a portion of the garrison of Ferozepore, effected a junction with the army under the Com mander-in-Chief and the Governor-General. The entrenched camp was attacked great slaughter took place; n but a por tion army Hden of the camp was stormed and burned, a at night-fall kept possession of what they had taken. An attack was made by the army during the night , and repulsed. The attack was renewed in the morning ; the enemy's entrenchments were swept. Our army was in . the rear of them, and the whole of the cannon mounted in . the entrenchments were taken. The enemy renewed the at tack, but were driven back, and retired to a village, four miles •in the rear, leaving their camp in our possession, and then retired across the Sutl e j to th e i r own t err it or y, defeated and disheartened. He believed that it would be acknowledged that this was one of the most gallant actions ever performed, and thatenever had the skill of the General or the courage of the soldiers been more brilliantly displayed. With regard to Sir H. HARDIN GE , h e ordered thetroops to lie down during the night, and k eep quiet, and,finding among the troops four regiment s w h o had been old comrades of his during the Peninsula, he passed the night with them 0/1 the 6,11(1. Four of bie aides •de-camp were killed and four wounded, and he had only one aide-de camp left, a boy of sixteen, his own son, who carried his orders from one part of the field to another with the greatest courage and presence of mind. He had with him another son, not in the military service, who had been prevented from entering that service in onse quence of an accident which rendered amputation of the foot necessary ; that son stuck by him during the battle, and it was only towards the conclusion that in consequence of the commands of his father be left the field. Our losses had been great, one of the most dis tinguished in that or any other army had fallen at MOODKEE, Sir R. SALE, whom all honoured, and to whom all felt gratitude, and he was sure their Lordships would not refuse, when they should be called upon to testify their admi ration of the character of that Gallant Officer. There was another most gallant officer whose loss we had to lament, Sir J. M'CasiciLi.. It wa impossible to mention all worthy of mention, but he could not avoid mentioning the name of one whose loss was irreparable, Major BIWADFOOT, who had rendered immense services to his country, both in his military and his diplomatic capacity. Then, as to results. The object of the Seikhs was to inundate the whole country from the Sutlej to the Jumna, and to take possession of Delhi, and to drive us beyond the limits of our territory. All those objects have failed. Our objects were to drive them beyond the Sutlej, to save Ferozepore, to confirm those true to us, and coerce those inimical to our rule. All their ob jects have:failed—all ours have succeeded by the exertions by which those battles were attained, and which the Seikhs would not readily forget. Those victories had secured that important frontier for us. His personal knowledge of and affection for the Governor-General might have led him to speak much of his prowess, but he also felt bound to do the utmost honour to the gallantry and skill of the Commander in. Chief, Sir HUGII GOUGII, who was deserving of every honour that could be conferred on him. Having been forced into to oa this successfulwar i t termination.wa n ces sar T yto do everything Governor o t f B o bring om b Bombay had forwarded large forces to ICurrachee, there to be under the command o f one o f the ost gallant men that ever wore a soldier's uniform, Sir CIIARLESNAPIER. The Noble Earl concluded by formally moving the vote of thanks. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE felt it most grateful to his feelings to state that, aster an attentive perusal of the docu ments laid on the table, he felt it consistent with his sincere conviction to give to the proposed resolutions, not only his acquie:cence, but his most cordial support. This was an action most glorious to the British army, and it was owing to the zeal and devotion of that army that the natives of Asia bad been shown that the star of British glory shone with increased splendour; and those dispatches showed that the valour of the Sepoy 'troops had been displayed in as glorious a manner as those of the British, and he hoped they would know that on this occasion their claims to their Lordships' gratitude had net been for gotten. The Governor-General in his most peculiar position, being both a civilian and a military man, had shown his zeal and devotion to the service in the most remarkable manner, by passing at once from his civil to his military character, and drawing his sword, and giving an admirable example to all. He would not follow his Noble Friend in dilating upon the merit: of the Commander-in-Chief and his officers, nor in offering an opinion on the political view of the question. But when they did come to consider it, he felt assured that their Lordships would feel convinced that we had pursued a pacific and not an aggressive policy, and that nothing but necessity bad compelled us to draw the sword. The Duke of WELLINGTON could not hear a motion of this description made without stating his unqualified approba tion of the conduct of the troops, and of that of the officers, and particularly of that of his Gallant Friend the Governor- General, who, after having made all the arrangements ap pertaining to his duty asGovernor-General, for collecting all the resources of the country for the contest impending, volunteered his services and his rank in the army, in order to give his assistance to the officer conamaading in chief. in carrying on his operations. In doing this, Sir H. HARDINGE had set an example which he hoped would always be followed. He knew that the Seikh entrenchment WAS completely closed in, and ought to have been called a fortress, instead of a forti fied position. He knew also that the troops had been for four-and-twenty hours without water, and yet they perse vered and carried th e p os iti on, not w i t h out great l oss, vet not without leaving them efficient if their services shouldbe re quired. He had not heard of any action for a long time in which so much bravery was displayed. There was but one exception, and that was, that to one regiment the name of panic was attached. Now, the regiment had lost one-third of its officers, a large proportion of non-commissioned officers, and two-thirds of the men. He would not dispute what had been said of the officers, who saw the action, but lie thought that he should have stated the amount of loss in that report, and if he had in quired, he would have fund that on their advance they were absolutely mown down—that the regiment had been abroad 30 years out of 40 that it had been raised— that it had been in India 16 years, and had been recruited twice over— and that of those in the regiment, three-fourths had not been more that 7 years in the service. And in looking over the reports, he found from the general officers several reports of the praiseworthy conduct of the regiment, and he thought, looking at the returns of killed and wounded, it was impos sible to apply that word to the conduct of this regiment. He had al, o seen an unqualified approbation, written by this general officer, of the conduct of this regiment only at Christ mas last, and at this battle they were mowed down by the enemy's artillery. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY passed a high eulogium on Sir H. HARDINGE for the example he had set in going into battle as second'in command. With regard to the loss which had taken place he would ask if, considering the immense superiority of the enemies' force, they could have expected any other. They could not have great victories without great losses. Sir 11. GOUGH and Sir H. HARDLNGE had placed themselves foremost in the post of danger, and in so doing they had only followed the example of the Noble Duke under whom they had served. After speeches by the Duke of RICHMOND, the Earl of ELLENBOROUGH, and the Earl of AUCKLAND, the motion was carried nemine dissentiente. The Bills on the table were then forwarded a stage, and their Lordships adjourned. The SPEAREA took the Chair at Four o'clock. Mr. HILDYA RD took the oaths and his seat for South Nottingham. Several Railway Bills were read a second time and ordered to be committed. Dr. BOWRING presented a petition from the sisters of Lieut. WYBERG who had been detained at Bokhara, and was supposed to have been barbarously murdered there, praying for an inquiry to be instituted as to his fate. The Hon. Gentleman gave notice of his intention to-morrow to put a question to the First Lord of the Treasury on the subject. Petitions were presented for and against a repeal of the corn-laws. Petitions were also presented against the embodiment of the militia. Lord Jenne RUSSELL presented a petition from the ship owners of London in favour of the Government measures with respect to corn and timber. Mr. COBDEN presented a petition from Goatacre, praying for the total and immediate repeal of the corn-laws. Mr. C. BERKELEY called the attention of the house to a petition that he had received, purporting to come from Chel tenham, though in fact it came from Manchester; and moved that it be referred to a Select Committee, to inquire into the manner in which the petition was got up and the signatures attached to it. The motion was agreed to after a short discussion, and the Committee appointed. Lard E. BRUCE pres - ,mted a petition from Marlborough, Bedwin, and Pewsey, in the county of Wilts, in favour of the London, Newbury, and Bath Direct Railway. Sir R. PEEL then rose, pursuant to notice, to mova a vote of thanks of the House of Commons to the Governor-General of India, to General Sir HUGH GOUGH, to Major-General Sir Hanoi , SMITH, to Major- General WALTER RALEttIII GILBERT, to Major-General Sir , Jotter LITTLER, and to the non-commissioned oficers and private soldiers, European and native, for the energy, ability, firmness, gallantry, perseverance, fortitude, and daring valour displayed by them at Moodkee, upon the left bank of the Sutlej, on the MI, 21st, and 22d of Deceinleer last, when they forced the enemy's entrenchments at Ferozeshali, captured most of his guns, and finally compelled the Seikh army, of greatly superior numbers, to retire within their own frontier, The Right Hon. Baronet, in bringing forward the motion, went at some length into our relations with India, assured the louse that the policy of the Governor-General was not to extend the British Go vernment in India, thinking its possessions in that part of the worn amply sufficient, but to preserve the native Seik's Governments, as.far as it could be done consistently with the maintenance of the present possessions of Ergland in India. The attacks that had been made by the Seiks army on the possessions of England on the left bank of the Sutlej were totally uncalled fur in consequcace of an act of the Governor-General of India, who had always acted on the defensive, although every attempt had been made to bribe his soldiers, especially the native troops. Those attempts at bribery he (Sir R. PEEL) was happy to say had been without any avail; the Sepoy troops stood firm as they had always done to the interests of England. Everything had been done that was considered necessary by the first military men in the country, by the Governor-General, in order to protect the British territory on the left bank of the Sutlej • and when it was supposed that an attack would be made' by the Seikhs, the course pursued by the Governor-General was in accordance with the wish and desire of the British Consul in India, and he could notibut think that the Governor. General and the Commander in -Chief, in the course they have adopted on that occasion, had acted with prudonce and discretion. The Right Hon. Baronet then, at some length proceeded to describe the ac tions that took place, actions which he believed, if it were possible, added fresh glory to the British army. The Go vernor-General had placed himself in every;danger, and even placed his son in it, a boy only sixteen years of age, in order to stimulate the troops to stronger exertion. They had, he was sorry to say to deplore the loss or Sir R. SALE, Major BROADFOOT and many other gallant officers and men. He trusted that the House would give its willing and unanimous thanks to every man, without distinction, who acted on the day when so glorious a victory was obtained by the British troops. It was his intention, at a future day, to propose an address to the Crown to erect a monu ment to Sir R. SADE. _ Lord JOHN RUSSELL seconded the motion. He believed that the Governor-General, when he abandoned the Councils of his Sovereign and his home, and went to India, did so from the highest motives. ' e lle believed that the policy of forbearance on the part of the Governor-General was the best he could pursue; but he was afraid that that policy had caused a greater loss than would have otherwise been sustained in the British army. He felt proud in seconding the vote of The Ho e u thanks proposed by the Right Hon. Baronet. ; t a t ! Hon. Members then addressed the House in sup port. Mr. Vittazitson m resolutions. m se o t tion, which was carried neminc contradicente.

He believed thata Leaguet body was richly entitled to the thanks of the country, but he thought the sooner an end was put to its exist ence , b y i ts objects being carried into effect, the better. Colonel SIBTHORF opposed the motion ; and the House was addressed by Lord ‘VonseEr, Mr, M. Gansos, M r . B. Escorr, Mr. R. COLBORNE, Mr. GORING, and , Ir. BRIGUT. Sir R. PEEL , said that there was much which he wished to say in answer to some of the arguments that had taken place duri g the late debat e, but h e thought that .. would . be much better said on the second reading of the 'chit, n what therefore, he should now say lie should confine himself to the gee-311°n, whether the repeal s hould be immediate or not. Looking at the question genera ll y , the immediate repeal might probably be thought the best course to adopt, but he con sidered the more politic and cautious.course was I Lee) ia , pt•o osed by the Government. He had certa inl y und( 1400 that p the gentlemen on his side of the House preferred inniiediate repeal, and if they joined with the other side they would carry it, and he would then give way, although be though the plan he had proposed was the best. As to the agitation with which they had been threatened by the Hon. Member for Durham, he doubted very much the policy or efficacy of it. Mr. G. PALMER opposed the amendment. Lord J. RUSSELL stated his intention of voting with the Government upon every stage of the mea:nre. Sir W. JoLIFYE, Mr. HumE, and the Marquis of GP.ANBY afterwards addressed the House. Upon the motion of Mr. P. BORTHWICK, that the Chair man should report progress, the Committee divided, and upon that division there was a majority of 157 in favour of pro ceeding with the debate. A desultory and rather personal discussion then took place, which ended in the debate on Mr. VILLIERS amend ment being adjourned till to-morrow (this day). The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned. The long and interesting dispatches relative to the affairs of the Punjaub, which appeared in The Sun on Saturday, throw much light on our relations with that country, and leave no doubt whatever that the Indian Government was driven by absolute necessity to make war not only upon the Seikhs, but the present :rulers at Lahore. In these documents three features appear conspicuous above all the lest—the corrupt and reckless government that now prevails, the cruelty and lawless disposition of the Seikhs, and the firm determination, we may say to a fault, of the Governor- General to commit no overt act which could give the slightest pretence for aggression. Major BROADFOOT who appears to have executed his mission with prudence and fidelity, describes the disgusting and horrible scenes which occurred in the capital before the RANEE, her paramour and Ministers, fell upon the plan of attacking the English to get rid of the Seikh army, and save themselves from certain destruction. Drinking to excess, debauchery of the most re volting character, treachery and cruelty prevailed to an ex tent perhaps never equalled at the most corrupt courts. I'he character and habits of the RANEE, or QUEEN -10THER, may serve as specimens of the rest. "The state o parties," says the agent in a letter dated August 6, 1845, "is seriously changed, but the cause is, the Raxsx's mind 'laving become seriously affected by her excesses; she has become stupid, instead of clever and lively; is sometimes for days in a state bordering on fatuity ; and though at times she revives, chiefly when stimulated by drinking, she takes but little concern in the public business, compared with what she used to do, and then is guided chiefly by her low para mours and servants. Now, the remnant of wise men left hitherto prevented convulsion by their influence with the RANEE, especially the Fakeers and BHAEE RAM SINGH ; but this influence is all but gone in the RANEE'S present state ; so much so, that BHAEE Ram SINGH lately sent me a cau tion against closing a business with the existing Government, as it was certain the troops, on their return after the Dus serab, would put to death JOWAHIR SINGH and the RANEE, with her son." In fact they did put to death this Jowarrm SINGH, brother of the RANEE, and cut his body almost to pieces. The RARER, and her drunken associates and Ministers saw that they would be next devoured, unless this terrible army, without discipline and any feeling of mercy, were diverted from their purpose. The troops, it would appear, were not at all disposed to attack the English, but everyday the RANEE and the Sirdar became more urgent for their advance to the frontier, be lieving that the only hope of saving their lives and pro longing their power was by a collision with the British forces. These facts exhibit the character of the Government, and the army, which, under certain promises, and after con siderable sums of money had been conferred on it, entered into a sort of bargain for the invasion of the British terri tory. In such circumstances, therefore, the Governor- General took all the necessary steps which he consi dered open to him fur guarding the frontier; he ordered up reinforcements, had a great number of regiments ready to march at four hours' notice, and mustered within a reasonable distance as many forces as he thought would be sufficient to repel an invasion which he had every reason to believe was not undertaken with good will. But he was mistaken as to the people he had to deal with—the Seikhs hal collected a much larger army than either Major BROADFOOT or any agent on the right bank of the Sutlej had considered possible for them to muster in such a short period, and the extent of the danger was not seen till about the Bth of December, ten days before the first battle. The Anglo-Indian army was then put in motion, and how nobly and gallantly it accomplished its work, the people of this country and of the greater part of Europe already know. Several charge Sir HENRY HARDINGE with neglect, and say that he was sur prised, and had he mustered a larger force on the frontier the battle would have been less bloody and more quickly decided. We entirely concur in the latter view of the case ; but it is evident from Sir HENRY HARDINGIS dis patches, and the communications of his agents, that he was anxious above all things to afford no grounds for war; in deed, his language on that point is so unequivocal, that we have no doubt whatever that he was acting according to the instructions of a power above him. The troops he had already collected along the frontier were viewed by the La hore Government with jealousy, and ultimately made the pretence for attacking our troops. Had he collected an army either at Ferozepore or Loodianah, he would have acted on the offensive, and fully justified the Seikhs in their invasion. As it is, the case is happily different. We have right on our side, and in a moral point of view, and as regards physical force, this is of the very first importance. Nearly all the French journals admit the Seikhs were in the wrong, and they are, therefore, the more inclined to do justice to the bravery of the British troops, which they do in the most explicit terms. But, even if the Governor-General had assem bled a large army, he could not tell at what point the Seikhs would make an irruption. By concealing their move ments they could have anticipated him by several days on a line of frontier extending for nearly a hundred miles, and, as was the case at Moodkee, there must have been forced marches, and the troops subjected to the greatest fatigue before they could come up with the enemy. "It appears to me," says Major BROADFOOT, that the frontier is too long to be defensible on all points by any force we can move." This was evidently also the opinion of Sir HENRY HARDINGE, and if we are not mistaken, the Duke of WELLINGTON will bear his testimony to the fact. It is easy to find fault, and some men delight in throwing the heavy blame on public servants, without considering their difficulties, and not unfrequently in perfect ignorance of the real merits of the case. WELLINGTON, too, was charged with negligence, and accused of having suf fered himself to be surprised by the French on the plains of Belgium ; but these accusations have died away, and his successful stand at Quatre Bras and victory at Waterloo have fully justified him in the eyes of all respectable judges. We are glad to see Lord LINCOLN has been put in nomina tion for the northern division of Nottinghamshire. If, as we fervently hope, his Lordship will be successful, it will be more thaa an ordinary triumph. It will not only be a triumph for the principles of free trade, for the interests of the people, and for the Ministers who are now advocating those interests, it will be a well-earned tribute to the Noble Lord himself, who happens to be the son of one of the most exclusive and arbitrary of the whole exclusive race. Himself early imbued with the doctrines of intolerance, anti recently a member of a pro tectionist Government, has now, at the sacrifice of all party and personal considerations, come boldly forward to proclaim the great principles of free trade, to assert the rights of the people and the interests of commerce, with an eloquence and an energy that have taken all by surprise. The election of South Nottingham is remarkable as a striking example of the disgraceful spirit that, happily in mare instances, still pre vails. It is one of the last triumphs of the evil genius whose funeral knell was rung en Friday night,—a triumph of prejudice over principle—of intimidation over conscience. Lord LINCOLN was placed in a most trying situation; manfully he stood the trial—gallantly he faced the danger. His conduct during the whole canvass elicited universal applause. His opponents found reason and argu ment useless, and resorted to every species of contumacy. They could not assail his principles or his political cha racter, he defended them too effectually from their attacks; they turned their weapons in another direction, and repre sented him as an undutiful son, a renegade and a Papist I By such means they won their triumphs—by such means they deceived the ignorant, blinded the unwary, end led away even the well-meaning and the good. Had the whole truth been rightly understood, how different had been the. issue ! The conduct which earned for Lord laNcoz N these opprobrious titles in reality is deserving of the highest honour. Of the disgrace attending the open contest between a father and son not one particle can fall on him. It cannot be said he " went against his father," because that father had no right to be there. The Duke of NEWCASTLE may call himself a constituent, but the law gives him no voice in the matter. The question at issue was solely between Lord LINCOLN and the electors, and if the Noble Duke chose to interfere, if he came voluntarily for ward to oppose his sea, his was the fault, and his be all the disgrace. It must have been a severe trial for the son of the Peer, and the representative of the people; but the latter triumphed—weighed in the balance he was not found want ing. He preferred the dictates of his own conscience to the commands of his stern father—the good of the country to his personal welfaie. Yet, for this self-abnegation, this resolute sacrifice which in old times gained the name of heroism, Lord Luccotx has been bitterly reviled. Equally futile are the charges of apostacy which have been daringly brought forward; because he is appointed a visitor of May nooth College, it is inferred that he must be a Papist! One of Mr. lIILDTARD'S friends, endeavouring to win over an elector, urged this plea : " then," exclaimed the elector's wife " the county magistrates must be lunatics, for they are visitors of the asylum." And such must have been the feelings of all who thought on the matter; but, unhappily, all could net, or would not think. Prejudice veiled the truth, the tenants obeyed their master, and after his strenuous exertions and unanswerable arguments, Lord LINCOLN was rejected I— rejected in spite of the justice of his cause. On Friday he took leave of his former constituents ; his powerful and im pressive language affected even his opponents. He acknow ledged his mortification ; but he was firm as ever. " I regret the issue," he exclai me d, "b ut I have no other regret. One consolationthe I bitterestfeel and moment know of l his h v d e i s t r a e c s t s e , d — t b on a t thiscan in yet rem a i ns t o me,—one that is able to cheer a ray of co m f or t on the darkest spot of his mansexistence.he da occasion from a single motive, from a paramount sense of public duty. Every interest of a private or personal nature would have counselled me not to stand this contest, every thing of a selfish nature would have prompted me to take a different course. I might, at this moment, be the repre sentative of South Nottingham, I might retain your con fidence, but my own conscience would smite me. I prefer his defeat, which now stings and pains me, than to have fHE SUN LONDON, TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 3, 1846. m.w..•.•ONiii been returned fer adopting a course that would not ad vance my country's interests." The electors of South Nottingham have rejected the representative whose only fault consisted in preferring their interests to his own It is left for the men of the north to repair the injury, to do honour to themselves by honour ing him. The very day after his rejection in the south Lord LINCOLN was nominated on the hustings of Mansfield. The protectionists had anticipated an easy triumph ; Lord HENRY BENTINCK was to " walk over " the course. A young and untried man, he was powerfully supported because he be lOnged to the PORTLAND family and the protection party. Mr. MILNER proposed him as a fit and proper person, and calling himself "an old student of the science of political economy," he gave a proof of his wisdom by the following extraordinary declaration :—" As an honest man and an Englishman, he would sooner buy his hats in Mansfield or Worksop, or Nottingham, than of a Dutchman or a Frenchman, though he had to pay dearer for them." Now this may appear very honest and English to Mr. MILNER, but it is totally at variance with the principles of political economy. It i 3 a poor patriotism that would only en courage home manufactures. If every one, like Mr. MieNEs, were to buy everything at home, notwithstanding the cost, would foreign nations not follow our example, and pay dearer for their own goods rather than take ours, and where would be our commerce, the source of all our wealth and power? Mr. Mit.Nes had possibly not considered the subject, neither had he considered the present state of the country when he pro posed a young Lord, whose chief recommendation was his zeal for protection. Lord HENRY BENTINCIe, the new can didate, made a speech, hie first public speech, in which he proved his sense and judgment by speaking of the Ministers as " our, present worst enemies." On the eve of a battle, NAPOLEON turned to a youth, who was urging him to proceed, " When you have commanded in thirty pitched battles, presume to advise me." And with like presumption this young Lord dares to speak of Minis ters, who have been taught by experience, and who are now at every cast, proving themselves the true friends of the country. While Lord HENRY was speaking shouts were heard in the distance, and amid general cheering the glorious news of the division was announced The protectionists turned pale as the united voice of the peo ple celebrated the triumph of " their worst enemies." The "farmer's friends" also received another blow in the nomina tion of the Earl of LINCOLN. Mr. BAILY, of Basford, came forward to propose him, and in spite of the unseemly inter ruptions of gentlemen on the hustings, he boldly declared that although Lord LINCOI24 was not there, he would not only nominate him " but get him in. It was not the first time a subaltern had achieved a victory in the absence of the general ; he had not expected to take part in an electioneering contest, but 'he circumstances were such that any man who had feeling left in him, must, as he did, fling himself into the struggle, with warm blood and spirits high, and fight for peace, and liberty, and independence." To morrow the contest will take place, and it remains to be seen whether the electors of the northern division wilt give their votes for an untried candidate and a worn-out cause, or range themselves under the banners of those who are now all powerful only because they are acting for the people's good, and in accordance with the wants and wishes of the people. The majorityofninety-sevedecisive of the success of Sir RostEra PEEL'S measure in the House of Commons. It is possible, it is true, that some Conservatives who voted with Sir R. PEEL on Saturday morning may fall off in future divisions, and we have heard of two or three Members likely to take this course. They would not be a party to so strong an opposition as a refusal to go into Committee to consider Sir ROBERT PEEL'S proposals; bat when the several facts of the measure come to be considered in Committee, and when the Bills to be founded on the resolutions in Com mittee come before the House, they will tote against the Minister. But not many are likely to take this course; and, on the other hand, the protectionists may make sure that some of their rank and file will fall off in future divisions. All the two hundred and forty are not animated by the same zeal in the cause as the Mit.asEs and BANKESES and Cor.Qu- HOURS—the expectants of office under the Duke of RICH MOND. Sir T. ACLARD declared that, though intending to give his vote against Sir R. PEEL in the first division, has would be no party to a factious and vexatious opposition, and that a decided majority in favour of the Government would determine him to keep aloof from all subsequent opposition. There are manyother moderate Conservatives—men with strong attachment to Sir R. PEEL and who have voted against him with the greatest reluctance—men who have given their votes against the proposal, less from strong aversion to it on their own parts, than in obedience to the feelings of consti tuents—who will follow Sir I'. ACLAND'S example. The pro tectionists will never muster two hundred and forty again That two hundred and forty was a convulsive effort. It is to be observed, also, that the number of absent Liberals is greater than that of absent Tories. The whole number of the absent, allowing for North Nottinghamshire, Wigan and Bridport, as vacant, was seventy-one. Of these twenty-six are accounted for as paired. Of the re maining forty-five only fifteen are Tories, and thirty are Liberal Members. Mr. WATSON and Mr. GRANGER, who were among the Liberal absentees, were compelled to go on circuit, and Mr. RICARDO, we are in formed, was compelled to go on business to Paris; and these three gentlemen would have been in the division if the de bate bad not been so unreasonably protracted. We regret to see that so many as eighteen Irish Liberal Members are absent, on a question of which Irish famine is a principal in gredient. However, we may infer that the Government will on future occasions have the benefit of the votes of several of the thirty Liberal Members who were absent on Friday without Fairs. And if North Nottinghamshire is to return anot;:er protectionist recruit, Bridport is safe to return a sup porter of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S policy. We rejoice to hear, on the best authority, that the Govern ment measure is safe in the Lords, and that it will be carried in that House by a majority of not less than thirty. Our readers may rely on this statement, and disregard all the blustering of protectionist Dukes and newspapers, who blus ter the more about the House of Lords only, because they know that they have no chance in that House. Madrid papers of the 22d ult. abound with rumours, but bring no news that can be depended upon. It was currently reported that the new Finance Minister was to commence his career by cutting down the expenses of the army and the Royal Family. If he wishes to remain in office he bad better refrain from this species of economy, for CHRISTINA and NAR VA= to a certainty would oust him in a week. Another report was, that there wculd be a modification of the Minis try, and that IsTURITZ and MmAFLortEs would give place to RobleAm and NARVAEZ• The English Ambassador gave a splendid ball on the night of the 21st, which was attended by upwards of 800 persons. - On the 21st the Three per Cents. closed at 32% at 60 days, and the Five per Cents. at 239 at 60 days. The French Minister of Finance has at last introduced into the Chamber of Deputies a Bill for the reduction of postage on letters. He proposes fer single letters that the charge shall be two sous, when the distance does not exceed twenty ), four sous, the distance not kilometres (121 4 - English mil es exceeding forty kilometres, and increasing in the same ratio up to ten sous for a single letter, the maximum postage pro posed for the whole of France. The Bill did not appear to meet a favourable reception in the Chamber, as a more radical change, something like our penny postage, was ex pected. Some of the journals contain further remarks on the late battles in India ; and we may say all that have commented en the results have done full justice to the bravery of the British troops. The Constitutionnel, the organ of the ex-Minister, who has such a cordial antipathy to England, is even com plimentary, and blames Sir HENRY HARDINGE, not for hay ing too small an army on the frontier, but for provoking the contest by assembling along the frontier sense 17,000 men. "The General-in-Chief in India," says that journal, "is cer tainly right to congratulate himself on the victory, which, however, was dearly purchased, although, after the official reports, the number of killed and hounded is not so great as the private letters had represented it. But as to the term criminal given to the incursion of the Seiks or: the territory of their brethren, protected by the Company, it is not in any way justifiable, if it be borne in mind that the concentration of English troops on the frontier of the Punjaub had continued for several months, without any explanation being vouchsafed to the Government of Lahcre. That the Seikbs, when menaced with an armed intervention should have made the first movement, and fallen on the divisions separated from each other by con siderable distances, and should have thus endeavoured to anticipate the blow destined for them, is nothing but a good piece of strategy. The epithet of criminal must not there- fore be given to the combinations of the enemy, which only aimed at defending its independence with greater chances of success, and displayed more courage and cleverness than was expected. With this reservation, we join completely in the eulogium which the army of India, as well European as na tive, has merited on the part of its General, and of the mother-country." The Special Committee appointed to examine the extraordinary vote of a million sterling for Africa, after some discussion, bad resolved on maintaining the limits proposed in 1830, which include the territory lying between the sea, the frontier of Sahara, and Tell, Morocco and the Regency of Tunis. According to accounts from Bordeaux, the free -traders in France are imitating the ex ample of the League in more ways than one. On Monday last they held a meeting in the principle theatre of that town a very large building, when the Mayor and some half- a dozen members of the Association made speeches suitable to the occasion. The Mayor proposed to raise subscriptions for carrying out their views. At the conclusion, he an nounced that the members of the Association present had subscribed 11,000 f., and that subscriptions bad already been received to the amount of 50,000 f. We copy from the Journal des Debuts the following impartial remarks respecting United States : the probable results of a war between England and the " It is for the advantage of the Union to remain at peace with England.

Lastly, the prizes made by the privateers would not repair the injury which the American regular commetce would experience. And in a country thus impoverished, what market would the national manufacturers find, even when freed by war from the competition of the English productions ? The convention of 1827," concludes the Journal des Debate, " will doubtless be adhered to by the United States; notice of the cessation of the treaty will be given ; but, instead of being a signal for war, it will be the preamble of a solution which will satisfy the United States as completely as the rational citizens of that Republic can desire, which will preserve entire the honour of England, and which will preserve that which the enlightened men of all countries should endeavour to maintain—the peace of the world being, as it is, the first benefit conferred by civilisation, and the first guarantee of liberty."

IrtiLL, SATURDAY. —The Express Edition of "TILE SUN," with the whole of the debate last night, and the division at three o'clock this morning, was received here at three this afternoon, anticipating the other morning papers upwards of three hours, and those received in due course of post by not less than eighteen hours. The great majority was considered as a settler for the Lords, and all classes are anxious for the speedy completion of the measure. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) ASIIBURTON.—The Reformers have, through the inde fatigable exertions of the spirited proprietor of "TILE SUN" newspaper, Mr. M. Young, received a copy of that paper at the public news-rooms on Saturday morning last at half-past 10, A.M. The express papers contained the full report of the corn-law debate, with the glorious majority of 97. The dis tance from this town to London is 214 miles, which was per formed by railway and post carriages in about six hours. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) NORTH NorrumnAm.—During the nomination of the can didates on the platform at Mansfield, and while Lord H. Bentinck was speaking, " THE SuN" express (from Notting ham) arrived with bills announcing the division in the House of Commons. The moment this "great fact" became known in the room, the pro-corn-law party became almost dumb stricken (the protectionists having a few minutes before as serted that the repeal of the corn-laws would not benefit the working men). The shouts of hundreds of the working classes, however, when the express arrived, fully proved that they considered protection to native industry anything but a boon to themselves. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) GATESHEAD, SATURDAY.—We were entirely taken by sur prise this afternoon when a special engine reached;this station, at half-past four o'clock, bringing the division in the House of Commons this morning, in an extraordinary edition of "THE Surr." Your exertions by this express anticipated every other newspaper by nearly two hours, and adds another proof that "THE SUN " is really not to be surpassed in sup plying the latest and best news—but I cannot omit to inform you that a most grievous injustice was perpetrated at the railway station to the people of Newcastle ; I learned that your Newcastle parcel, which I suppose was directed to the agents, was actually handed to a person at the station who sells newsvapers, opened, and so'd by the same person in Gateshead, whilst the merchants and tradesmen of Newcastle, were entirely deprived of what you no doubt intended for them. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) WAKEFIELD, SATURDAY.—I received the Express " Sux' , at half-past twelve this mooning, which was the first paper that communicated to this town the glorious division. I immediately presented a copy to the principal news-room, the newspaper-office, and. made other copies as public as possible. (From a Third Edition of the Manchester Guardian.) GUARDIAN OFFICE, SATURDAY MORNING.—The arrival of an Express Edition of" THE Sux," a few minutes before eleven, brought the debate and division of last night.

" THE SUN'S" EXPRESS.—By the courtesy of Murdo Young, Esq., proprietor of " TILE SUN" daily paper, we are enabled to lay before our readers a synopsis of the debate, and the result of the division on the important subject of the eorn-laws. When it is considered that the House adjourned at a quarter past three o'clock this morning (Saturday), and that " THE SUN" contains a full report of the debate, toge ther with a synopsis of the same, such exertion certainly claims and ought to receive its due meed of praise ; we, there fore, willingly accord it. We believe that only three copies of the Express Edition were allotted to this town, with one of which we were kindly favoured. Mr. Young expressed the paper himself down from London to the North; our towns man, Mr. Wiley (a well-known caterer for news), having a messenger in attendance at Masbrorough, and forwarding the papers destined for Sheffield and this neighbourhood, where they arrived soon after half past eleven.

To the Proprietor of "THE Sus" paper we ale indebted for this early communication of the debate and division (un paralleled, we believe, in the annals of Parliamentary re porting), by which an event, which took place in We,tinin ster at three o'clock this morning, was known in Norwich by seven ! In order duly to appreciate this triumphant effort of the press, it must be remembered that the communication did not consist in the mere announcement of the numbers, but was s full report of the evening's debate, which did not con clude till nearly three o'clock, and comprised eleven columns of densely-printed matter!

The New York packet ship, Patrick Henry, Capt. J. C. Delano, arrived here this afternoon after a voyage of 20 days, bringing pipers to the 9th ultimo, inclusive. The President made a very important communication to the House, on the 7th, viz., a message pointing attention to the official correspondance which has taken place between the United States and the British Government on the Ore gon question since the opening of Congress. (From the New York Cauriv and Inquirer.) THE Ougoort QUESTION. —ln the letter of our Washington corre spondent will be found a brief statement of correspondence that has recently taken place between our Government and that of Great Britain, both at Washington and at London, in reference to the Oregon question. This correspondence is of very high importance, and diminishes very much the grounds upon which we have been hoping for a peaceful solution of pending difficulties. It will be seen by our correspondent's. letter that our Government has declined to accept an offer of arbitration, made in two different forms, by Great Britain, and that too upon the very offensive ground that to accept it would be to admit that Great Britain had rights in Oregon—and that the British Govern ment has informed our Minister at London, that her military prepa rations, though not commenced with special reference to this coun try, the condition of the Oregon question proves their expediency and that they il l be continued, in reference to that question. The whole matter, not only with reference to pacific settlement but with regard to the honourable and defensible positions of this country, seems now to be in the worst possible position. (Corespondenco of the Courier and Enquic•er. WASHINGTON. THGBSDAY NIGHT, FEB. s.—The whole 'of Oregon or none-men in the House were successful in getting the resolution adopted to close the debate on the Oregon question on Monday next at three P.M., when the voting will commence ou the 'various propositions submitted. It is impossible to predict what the result will be, but it is probable that a resolution throwing the responsibi lity of giving the notice upon the President will be successful. It is worthy of notice that Mr. C. J. Ingersoll, chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, *as forced to admit, to-day, on the floor of the House, that negotiations had been resumed on this ques tion. This being the fact it is difficult to see with what propriety Congress can act in the matter while they are kept in ignorance of the true state of the question. In the Senate, Mr. Speight presented the credentials of his colleague, Mr. Chalmers, elected to fill the unexpired term of Mr. Walker. Mr. Barrow presented a memorial praying Congress to provide for the adjustment ofclaims to Mexican indemnity, as awarded. Mr. Bagby, by leave, introduced a Bill to authorise the President to increase the naval establishment of the United States by adding thereto the naval establishment of the republic of Texas—provided that the proportion of personal to material in the Texas navy shall not exceed the same in the United States navy. Mr. Yulee submitted a resolution that the Secretary of War report what progress is making in the public construction at Key West. The special order, being the consideration of the War Steamer Bill, was then taken up. Mr. Westeott made an exceedingly sensible expose of the relative maritime force of the various commercial nations as compared with that of the United States—of the necessity of an increase of our navy, (especially if we were to possess Oregon and California) —of the defenceless condition of the Atlantic and coast, Gulf, &c. lie was not satisfied precisely with the form of the Bill before the Senate, and hoped It would be amended; but he should vote for it with the distinct qualification that it was a peace measure, as con tradistinguished from a measure required by any anticipation of war. If he really apprehended war he should vote for quadruple the in crease proposed by this Bill. (From the New York Herald.) THE OREGON NEGOTIATIONS. REFUSAL OF THE PRESIDENT TO ARBITRATE. THE REJECTION OF TWO FRESH PROPOSITIONS FROM . THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT. WASHINGTON, FEB. 7, 1846.—The truth is out at last. We have finally received the long-looked for Message from the President, with the recent correspondence between our Government and Great Britain. We give you the substance to-day, for Monday's paper—you will have them in full for Tuesday's paper. I. A note from the President, inclosing the correspondence. _ 11. A note from Mr. Buchanan, to the same:purport. 111. Mr. Buchanan to Mr. M`Lanc, our Minister to Er gland, dated Washington, December 13, 1845, requesting Mr. M`Lane to inquire into the object of the warlike preparations being made by Great Britain. IY. Mr. M`Lane to Mr. Buchanan, dated London, January 3d, 1846, stating that an interview had been had keetween himself and Lord Aberdeen.—Lord Aberdeen said that England had the most friendly feelings towards the United States, but they were obliged to be ix readiness for any emergency. The warlike preparations had no particular reference to a war with America. They were com menced before any difficulty with the United States w as apprehended; and their extent was exaggerated. Mr. M`Lane, however, thinks that these preparations are made in view of a dltt'culty with the United States, and that these preparations are made with the view of doing the greatest injury in the shortest time, if a war should come. V. Mr. Pakenham to Mr. Buchanan, dated Dec. 27th, 1845, offer ing arbitrations, and giving reasons for this offer, which is made in the spirit of kindness. The value of the (I,puted point is small, when compared with the maintenance of peace. VI. Mr. Buchanan to Mr. Pakenham, Jan. 3, 1846, declining the offer, and giving reasons for this refusal. Arbitration would seem to concede that Great Britain had t ights in this territory, which was the question in dispute. In this conn..xion, he referred to his former arguments on this subject. The President claims the whole. VII. Mr. Pakenham to Mr. Buchanan, January 6, 1846, stating that he had sent Mr. Buchanan's reply to his Government for its consideration. VIII. Mr. Pakenham to Mr. Buchanan, January 16, 1846, in reply to Mr. Buchanan's note of January 3d, stating that England had rights, but she wished to have this controversy settled. If objections were made to referring this to a sovereign, he proposed that it might be referred to a mixed commission of citizens and subjects, with au umpire, or to a board of jurists and distinguished men. This pro position he submitted again, to show the desire of his Government to settle this long pending controversy. IX. Mr. Buchanan to Mr. Pakenham, February 4th, 1846, giving his reasons for again declining the offer. This is a long dispatch, and points out the difficulty of selecting a fit board of arbitration. But there is one reason above all others for declining arbitration which is, that the President does not feel himself at liberty to submit to arbitration the disposal of the territorial rights of this country.— This closes the correspondence. The general opinion among members of Congress seems to bo tha war is more probable than it was before this correspondence. WASHINGTON, FEB. 7, 1846. —The whole truth is out. The Ore gon diplomatic correspondence, called for by Mr. Collamer, was brought in by Mr. J. Knox Walker to-day. The impossibility of getting it transcribed for the mails (Mr. Ritchie having carried it off), compels ns to the briefest outline. The first letter from the President, enclosing the correspondence upon the Oregon question since his late annual message. AIL BUCHANAN TO MR. M`LANE. WasUin,gton, Dec. 13, 18 15. - Asks information of our Minister in reference to the warlike pre parations going on in England, while at p.ace with all E unpr: Desires him to inquire of Lord Aberdeen. The President infers that these preparations look to a rupture with the United Mates on the Oregon question. Of vast importance to have the information as early as possible, as to the true character of the military preparations in Great Britain. The President also desires the individual opinion of Mr. 3PLaiie, in reference to these warlike demonstrations. MR. M'LANE TO MR. BUCILANAN. - London, Jan. 3, 1846. Mr. M'Lane acknowledges the receipt of Mr. Buchanan's letter of the 29th ult. Mr. ➢l`Lane acknowledges his fear of oaalning categorical answers ; and that he had resolved without hesitancy, that the best mode was frankly to call upon Lord Aberdeen, and ask of him, in obedience to instructions upon the subject. He did so : stated what the President had inferred from these preparations. Lord Aberdeen frankly responded that the military preparations of England, while they did not look directly to a probable rupture with the United States upon the Oregon question, were regarded as being useful, in the event of such a contingency. They had no direct re ference to such a rupture. Lord Aberdeen also stated that these pre parations were commenced before the present crisis, which had grown out of the Oregon terrPory, between Great Britain and the United States, and that, therefore, they could not have arisen front the aspect of this controversy in any way. These preparations had also been exaggerated. The most formidable are the defences erecting along the more exposed points of the island, and these could not be construed as looking to a rupture with the United States. The other preparations were the erection of steam-vessels to fill the places of the old worn-out sailing ships of the navy ; a policy which Lord Aberdeen doubted. The general policy of England was, that it was wise in peace to prepare for the exigencies of war. Lord Aberdeen disclaimed any distinct application of these warike pre parations to a probable rupture with the United States, upon the Oregon question. Mr. M'Lane expresses his own opinion to be, that with the fullest confidence in Lord Aberdeen, it could not be assumed that the present warlike attitude of England did not look incidentally to the prospect of a rupture with this country upon the Oregon question. The steam-vessels being erected by the British Government were eopecially adapted to such a rupture. If such a war arises, England will he a. fully prepared as if her ener gies had been directed especially to this end. The Government of England world be found in complete armor; and her policy would doubtless be to inflict the greatest possible injury and the heaviest possible blow at the commencement of the struggle, with the view of shortening the duration of the war. MR. PAKENHAM TO MR. BUCHANAN Washington, 27th Dec. 1845. Proposes the arbitration of some friendly power or State, and under instructions tom his Goverment. Speaks of the advantages of the early settlement of the dispute in the plan proposed ; and of the small value of the strip of territory really in dispute between the parties. MR. BUCHANAN TO MR PAKENIIAM. Washington, 3d Jan , 1846. The President declines the offer of arbitration. Mr. Pakenham had assumed that the title of England was valid to at least a portion of the disputed territory, whereas, the President had assumed the title of the United States to be clear and unquesPonable to the whole of Oregon. This was a sufficient reason to decline the overture. Besides, arbitra.ion, so tar from leading to happier consequences, would but create new difficulties. The President expresses the hope that the controversy may yet be adjusted, without disturbance of the peace between the two countries. MR. PARENHAM TO MR. W BUCHANAN. ashington, Jan. 6, 1846. Has received Mr. B's note of the 3d. Will take an early opportu nity of intorming her Majesty's Government of tke fact. FAKENLIAM TO MR. BUCHANAN. Washington, Jan. 16, 1846. Mr. Pakenham renews to Mr. Buchanan the offer of arbitration. On the question of the title, Great Britain had as explicitly as serted her rights to the Oregon terr itor y to the United States. Does not propose now to review the title of either party. Proposes to submit the title itself to arbitration, and if a friendly sovereign or ktatb is objectionable. to the United States, then to. a mixed com mission of eminent jurists, civilians, &c. If the title of neither party shall prove clear end satisfactory, then the arbitrate. at may divide the territory. Invites th e S ecre t ar y o f State to a C0n516 tion of this proposition. MR BUCHANAN TO MR. PAKENHAM. u 046. Washington, F e b. 4t h , Reviews this second proposition of the Btitish Minister. faith in arbitration.
