Baronet to the appoin' men t o f one , a n d it now only remainer, to B know whether it would not be better to extend that inquiry further, as it applied to the vote of Mr. Rockett. The House was com petent to appoint a Committee to make any inquiry they con sidered necessary under such circumstances. Api ima facie case had been made out of gross bribery and treating, and it was the duty of the House to appoint a Committee, and he should, therefore, give his vote for the motion. Sir W. JAMES was of opinion that these Committees, involving in their nature the character of a judge with that of inquisitor, were not strictly unbiassed tribunals. He should vote in favour of her Majesty's Government. Sir DE LACY EVANS believed that this was the third time in which the borough of Bridport had had charges of bribery brought against it. Under the present circumstances, to meet the motion for an inquiry by a mere technicality of law was giving protection to abuses. It was a serious inquiry. Sir ROBERT PEEL was unwilling to* throw any obstacle in the way of preventing any inquiry where a charge o: bribery was brought before the House. The question was whether or no a S e l ect C ommittee was to be appointed to inquire into th barge of bribery at the late Bridport election. The only con HOUSE OF edit! MON 3, May 2i3.

The report of the Committee of Supply on the Miscellaneous Estates was then brought up and agreed to. Mr. HUME was desirous of disabusing the House of an im pression which was spread abroad in reference to the salary of the Lord Chancellor. From certain information which he received his salary from his office was 10,0001., and as Speaker of the House of Lords 4,0001. On the reading over the item for the Colonial-office, Mr. VERNON SMITH wished to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer a question retative to the recent appointment of a Mr. Rogers to an assistant-under-secretaryship at the Cdonial-office. He wished to know whether the office was in addition to the colonial staff, er whether the appointment was in place of another gentleman who had previously filled that situation, and if so why he was 'placed over others of greater experience in that estahlishment ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEHUER said, that if the Hon. Gentleman had given him the slightest intimation of his intention to ask the question he would have made inquiry upon the subject. He could state, however, that be was quite correct as to the appointment referred to. The great pressure of business in that department, and constant inspection and supervision of colonial acts, pointed out the necessity of appoint ing an additional person Ito discharge the duties. A new arrangement was contemplated for reducing the number of those who filled the situation of chief clerks, whose salaries would go to the payment of the salary of the assistant-under secretary. Mr. HUME expressed his regret that any addition was made to the colonial staff. He wished to see the colonies placed in such a way as that they could manage their own affairs. The present system ought to be done away with, and the Colonial Government entirely remodelled. The CHANCELLOffoIiheEXCHEQUER said that be would be extremely sorry to deprecate the services of the gentlemen in the Colonial-office, but the duties required to be discharged by assistant under-secretary, required considerable legal knowledge and acumen ; and many gentlemen in the Co lonial-office were not well versed in law. Mr VERNON SMITH—Is Mr.liOgers a lawyer? TheICHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—He is. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Twenty Minutes to Eight o'clock. HEr.

WAR BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND MEXICO. By the arrival here this evening of the Royal Mail steam-ship Cambria, commanded by Captain Judkins, we have received New York papers to the 15th instant inclusive. This splendid steam-ship has made an expeditious passage, and has brought upwards of seventy passengers. The news by this arrival will be deemed very im portant, hostilities having commenced on the 26th of April, on the Texian frontiers, between the Mexican and United States forces, in which the Americans have suffered the loss of thirteen killed, six wounded, and 460 taken prisoners ; in consequence of which great excitement prevailed throughout the States ; and, in New Orleans, Mobile, and other cities near the seat of war, great efforts were being made to enlist men to pro ceed to the relief of General Taylor, whose position, it would appear, is deemed to be critical. At Washington also, the ferment was very great, and a Bill had passed both Houses of Congress, and received the sanction and signature of the President, appropriating 10,000,000 dollars for carrying on the war, and authorising the enrolment of militia to the number of 50,000 men, together with an augmentation of the regular fcrces by 7000 men. General Taylor had made requisitions on the governors of Louisiana, Alaama, Mississippi, and Texas, for reinforcements, to which Louisiana had immediately re sponded by voting 100,000 dollars. At New Orleans 1500 men wers enrolled in a few days, and 500 more were hourly expected from the vicinity, and would proceed immediately to the seat of war. This state of affairs has had a very depressing effect on the stocks, and trade generally. The Oregon question seems to be lost sight of, and the tariff for the present laid aside. It is also doubtful whether the Sub-Treasury Bill will be further proceeded with at the present juncture. Nothing whatever can now prevent the triumphant settlement of Me Bill. Not all the oratory of STANLEY, the wit of DISRAELI, the assiduity of BENTINCK, the ac clamations at Willis's Rooms, or the official edicts from Bond-street, have been successful in damping the ardour of one single Free-trader ;—the Protectionists are de fenceless, their Damascus blade has shivered off at the hilt. Whatever bile may have been excited amongst individuals by bitterness of recrimination or acrimony of censure, must be allayed, so far at least we are fain to anticipate, immediately upon the close of the discus sion. When the excitement consequent upon discom fiture has become somewhat abated, and when the subse quent calm affords them an opportunity for reflection, e are prepared to witness a sequel of change in the sentiments of those who have most violently opposed the measure—a sequel almost as gratifying, though scarcely of such naticnal importance, as the con versions antecedent t o th e Mi n i ster i a l proposition. Much as' certain among the agricultural landlords have inveighed against the abolition policy, incessantly as they have stigmatised and traduced its advocates, we are more than sanguine of their ulterior adhesion to its cause, and of their permanent satisfaction at its working. We are convinced that the charges of unconstitutional intimidation against the League, of inconsistency against the Premier, of revolu tionary recklessness against the representatives of the people, and of subserviency against the present Govern ment, will all become dissipated before the sun-burst of emancipated commerce. Those who have hitherto been foremost amongst the antagonists of the innovation will merge into the most enthusiastic of its admirers, because we entertain a solemn conviction that the landowners will prove the chief recipients of benefit from its opera tion. Such are our anticipations, and those anticipa tions are based upon experience ; they are inspired by a remembrance of the Ed.nburgh manifesto from Lord Jousr RUSSELL ; of the candid avowals made by Sir ROBERT PEEL ; by the more recent acknowledgments of the Earl of ESSEX, as well as of other Legislators, but above all by the memorable majority of ninety-eight, by which the Lower House of Parliament approved of that measure which, year after year, within those very walls, had met only with derisive opponents and a COD_ tumelious rejection. Nor do those anticipations resolve themselves they are deduced not merely from; modern into a dwtaon s ttodero p anpwshr veeeciwgni Christendomoa regions ei nothingness—until s ogngi oun h mts y h p e iu COLUMBUS globe,htsfiehurs:si reminiscenses, they are accordant with the les sons inculcated by history and antiquity. Whenever any Great Truth has been propounded seriously, and for the first time, among mankind, whether it be a truth in science, in natural philosophy, in legislation, in tary tactics, or even in more heaven-born themes of con templation, their reception has always been accompanied with similar vicissitudes, similar causes of tardiness,sirnilar first i c broachedd ot i incredulity, an b d y si o m n i e la m r baint,teronress by o f a antagonism. ranaonsmgec fareoreinistogmsyfi progression, hrntephe:oet popula tion until ttrri l i ull t thst j os : few are treated either with indifference or with obloquy; circumnavigation, oa t indhlnrrddveced advanced m insignificance, persist, eegit e cadn ihlr r eiva s kyt iaidh i ge: s nel sa t i foloahnfneyrnodgaooody:ssirmipaeobeatnrrfvhi insignificanceneel e e iededeet r dny: smedyoi encountering bofu Fnni the nccna tird: se indomitablercitp he.jurnssume t t cessively treated him as a visionary, and the children used to mock at the old man in the streets of Spain as the " mad sailor." WATT; in like manner, when endeavouring to perfect the steam-engine, was de srptdeeedimaesnas ofd Mechanical ream e e e r. T e heoriginator of those wonderful ingenuity by which the labour of our factories is so marvellously simplified, was, upon their introduction, scouted by the artisans as Benefactor was never scouted before. Yet, in spite of this uncouth r 'f:')F I', • 7,1.1 y 9S, 1846, .1. 4 'o!' , ' i',t• Nlne o'clock A.M empires, has imparted a in sil stimulus to the intellect and trade of the old world, and has proved a mine of in exhaustible wealth to the nations of Europe. The steam-engine has been brought to a point almost beyond the reach of improvement, it has become the administrator of comfort and luxury to mil lions, performing the utmost diversity of labour, and promises at length to draw the most remote places into familiar intercourse, The spinning machines have su perseded hand labour almost entirely, and yet offer greater facilities for employment. Such invariably and inevitably is the fate of every great innovation when that innovation is based on truth ; spite of rancour, or abuse, or misrepresentation, it ever ultimately triumphs : it is not to be retarded by misapprehension or chicanery— it is germinated in the human intellect, and consequently has a sympathetic chord for its appreciation in the po• pular mind—it is evoked for victory. Everything tends to demonstrate the speedy advent of that victory to the Great Truth of Free Trade. Let the Lords expedite the triumph which the measure is des tined, sooner or later, to achieve, and let them facilitate, as far as Parliamentary decorum will permit, the dis comfiture of Ignorance and Prejudice. A private letter of the date of the 14th May, which has been received from Lisbon, says that the accounts from the provinces are not of so favourable a nature as the official journals of the 13th would fain induce the public to believe, and that such is the excitement exist ing in Coimbra, that the Government, as a measure of precaution, has closed the University. The Augsburg Gazette publishes a letter from Berlin, which states that the protocol of August 15th, agreed on between the commissioners of the conference of the three protecting powers relative to the measures to be taken concerning Cracow, had received the sanction of the King of PRUSSIA on the 16th. The exchange of ratifica tions was to take place shortly. According to the Vienna correspondence of the Uni versal German Gazette of the 23d, a conspiracy had just been discovered at Rzezow, and several persons arrested. It is said that the conspirators had plotted the murder of all the officers of the garrison. From the Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort we learn that Russia has again applied to the Porte to prevent Turkish subjects from assisting the Circassians. Madrid papers of the 20th have been received. M. MoN was sufficiently recovered to resume the ac tive discharge of his duties. Public works, the esti mated expense of which will be 84,791,370 reels, are to be immediately undertaken. They relate principally to the formation and improvement of high roads. The Minister of the Interior has sent to the Director- General of the Public Works a - list of the works to be un dertaken. The Tiempo publishes a letter from Orense on the sub ject of the murder of Don RUBIN DE CELIS, at Oporto. That unfortunate officer was not assassinated by the companions of his flight from Galicia, but by two Por tuguese, who had been hired to commit the act by persons of high station who would have been compromised by the disclosures which Don Rums had threatened to make. These persons, it is said, had urged Don RUBIN to com mence an insmrectionary movement, and had then aban doned him. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS The Herald° states that General Pim SAMPER has been ordered to Corunna, to be tried for breach of duty in not being sufficiently active in putting down the late insurrection in Galicia. The same jour nal complains of the great extent of the contraband trade carried on with Gibraltar, and calls the attention of the Government to the subject. We fear the worthy writer in the Her aldo has yet to learn his first lesson in political economy, or he would know that the only way to put a stop to smuggling is so to reduce the import duties on the articles smuggled as to enable the fair trader to compete in the market with the contrabandist. The heavy import du ties of Spain are as great a protection to the en couragement of the smuggling interests of the country as the heavy import duties on corn (now happily about to cease for ever) in England, have been a protection of, though not an encouragement to, the landed interest in England. There is no quotation of the prices of Spanish Funds in these journals. We have received the Paris papers of Tuesday. The meeting of the Court of Peers to receive the re• port of M. FRANK CARRE, in the case of LECONTE, which vs as to have taken place on that day, was post poned no the day following. The Chamber of Deputies was occupied on Monday with the discussion of the Budget of Expenses of the Minister for Foreign Affairs. Various questions were put by different Members of the Opposition on the sub ject of the foreign relations of France. With re gard to French settlements on the Gambia M. Guazor said, that the only point at issue between the English and French Governments was to regulate the right of France to pass the waters of the Gambia to get at, her possessions. lie thought a spe cial convention would be the most advisable method of regulating this matter ; the same opinion prevailed in London, and the subject was under the consideration of the two Governments. The Chamber voted the Budget without a division. "There is some idea," says the Piesse, "of the speedy nomination of General Tiburce Sebastiani to the command of the National Guard of Paris, in place of General Jacque minot, who, it is said, has asked leave to retire, on account of his he; slth. It is also said that General Baron de Lascours, now in command of the Lyons division, is to be appointed to the co amend of the first military division, in place of General l>ebastiani." The population of Arriege is in a state of the greatest misery ixt consequence of the failure of the potato and maize cr , : , ps. Algiers journals of the 20th have been received in Paris. 'The following appears in the Moniteur Algerien of that d !.te : " The G overnor-General, on his arrival in the Onarensenis, immediate ly proceeded against the hostile populations as sembled the ravines surrounding the principal mountain. It may be remembered that it was in these retreats that thek had collected c n the occasion of our first invasion towards the end of 1842. The march of Colonel St. Arnaud on the Oued-el-A.rdlem had been ordered with a view to cut off their passe ge when the Marshal's troops shall have driven them front their positions. General Yusuf, after his affair ?f El-Gharan., found himself obliged to desist from his pursuit of Abd-el-Kader, to obtain provisions. On the 7th inst., hav ing joined the Duke d'Aumale at the camp of El-Brida, he again left his Royal Highness to enter the Djebel-Amour, where his adversary had taken refuge ; but, understanding that the 11:mir had retreated much farther west near Stit ten, tie det ermined to stop short in the Djebel-Amour, and there strengthen our authority. The chief of these moun tains, lljell otil, whose conduct has been exceedingly suspi cious, did rs of come to the French camp, pretending that he was ill ; bu t all the populations have placed themselves in our power. They have been subjected to a fine of 28,000 f. and 3,000 o xen, which was paid at once. These cattle are intended to furnish provisions for the province of Algiers, where much i want has been felt for some time past. General Yusuf intonds profiting by the complete prostration into which all tt .e southern tribes have fallen to go and collect from the Os led-Nayls the large fines which they deserve to have impose don them. Letters which arrived last evening from the Ms sshal's column, announce that his operations are proceeding most successfully. Neither Hadj. Seghrir nor Bou-Mazy t 'aye been able to organise any serious resistance, and the trilbes were submitting without striking a blow. There is, tb erefore, reason to hope that this expedition will be completeily terminated, and the Marshal back at Algiers by the begin uing of June." ONE O'CLOCK. FOREIGN FUNDS.

Sales, 5,000 bales, all to the trade. Shares were better, all good scrip and stock being on the advance. It is not an uninteresting circumstance to those who watch carefully the progress of commerce, that the arrivals of pro du,e have been recently very large from all parts of the world, and that, although under ordinary circum stances they ought to come to a very good market, gull the demand for actual consump tion, were it in plenire viguer, would probably be sufficiently large to absorb the whole, yet, from a combina tion of adverse causes, our merchants and importers have long had just reason to complain of the inadequate return upon their trading capital, and the slack business even at the prices current. That the passing of the Corn Bill may alter this we have fervently to hope ; for matters, otherwise, from bad will be very likely to get to worse. The English Stock Market has been very firm to-day, though not active, because of the attention necessarily be stowed upon the settlement of the Account. The continua tion to July has been 1 4 to per cent., Consols being 96% % for present transfer, and 97 to 97 1 % for Account. The pre mium on Exchequer-bills has been 20s. to 155., being an im provement upon the previous values. The New Three• and-a- Quarter per Cents. have realised 97% %, and the Three per Cents. 95% %. Bank Stock is worth 206%, being very firm. East India Bonds under 1,0001. are 225. premium. ' The bargains in the Foreign Market have been more limited even than yesterday.

For Railway Shares there is rather a firm market, the ac counts from Liverpool being more satisfactory, but the busi ness done is still comparatively circumscribed. BRITISH FUNDS.

THE DERBY.—The similarity of the jackets worn by the riders of Tom Tulloch and Grimstone, led us into an error in assigning a forward positiod to the former Grimston was well up with Tap, and Fancy Boy, an d T o m Tulloch must have been about eighth, certainly not nearer. Fancy Boy, we hear, is very seriously injured, that he should have run so forward under the circumstances gives countenance to the opinion expressed in all quarters that had he run on equal terms with his com petitors, he could not possibly have lost. Mr. Gully and his friends win a good but not a large stake, and the settling, unless the Oaks should disturb it, be harmless.
