Groat Marlbcrough•etreet• THE WEEKLY CHR ONICLE. the eve The the rroprieters and Editors of th is paper are desirous, on MEETING OF A PARLIAMENT so Important to the principFles of REE TRADE, to call the attention of their Subscribers and of the Public to the claims of the WERKLY CHRONICLE as the Advocate of an enlightened Policy, on aU questions which relate to onr industrial economy, and to the political progress and social happiness of the People. The Weekly Chronicle has, from Use period at which it came into the hands of its present Proprietors and Conductors, faithfully and firmly supported these principles—seeking at once to carry them out without violence or personal rancour, and to establish Itself in the respect, not only of its Readers, but even of its Political Antagonists, by a strict regard for Truth and Fair Play, on which grounds alone, as its Editors feel confidant, can any well-intending party be ade quately and successfully supported. As a Newspaper, the Weekly Chronicle will be found to contain a larger quantity of carefully compiled and well digested reading matter, than any of its contemporaries; and it has ever given, and will continue to give, the littlest digests of the proceedings is Par liament, consistent with its limits, which are of the largest size re cognised by law. The importance of this in the coning session must be evident; whilst in early intelligence of Political Movements the Weekly Chronicle will maintain its lead, possessing, as it does, peculiar and exclusive sources of information, which its entire independence from personal influences and party trammels, enable it to give without mystification or reserve. One of the features ef the Weekly Chronicle are the popular Letters of COTTON' TW IST, principally devoted to questions of Free Trade and Industrial Economy, and of which a Third Series were commenced with, and will be continued from week to week throughout the present year.

The lines of " the interview at Rome, are very appropriate, but we cannot throw blame on the " first and fairest of the nation" for only displaying that hospi tality which was due to a royal visitor, whose misfortune It is to represent a bad system. THE WEATHER.—SIIN OFFICE, JAN. 17. THERMOMETER, Lowest, 38; Highest, 46; Noon, 43. BAROMETER, 29.79.—W1ND S., light rain. k.alt 4 LONDON, SATURDAY, JANUARY 17, 1846. Two questions are involved in the recent exclusion of Mr. HAYWARD from the Bench of the Inner Temple—a public question and a personal question ; 1l r importance, it would stand but little crlance7l en gaging attention but for the personal question which is bound up with it. A case of individual wrong goes straight to the feelings of every man, while few will trouble themselves for an abstract principle. If the gross injustice which has been done to Mr. HAYWARD be the means of abolishing the pre sent no less absurd than odious mode of electing to the Bench of the Inner Temple, that gentleman may rejoice at having been the passive instrument of a much-needed reform; and in no case whatever can he have more to regret than the inconvenience inseparable from any dispute, even where one is entirely in the right; for this incident has only served to call forth from all quarters expres sions of sympathy and respect, and journals differing most widely in politics agree to condemn, while none is found to defend or even extenuate the exclusion. A pamphlet which has been circulated, entitled Remarks on the Mode of Electing Benchers at the Inner Temple," gives the following account of the cause of quarrel, Anno Domini 1832 : —" A. complained that B. had mentioned a report concerning him. B. replied that it had been current so long, that he really could not say that he had not, though he had no recollection of the fact. A. named C. (one of B.'s friends), as his witness, and thereupon 8., supposing he must have mentioned it as C. said so, expressed his regret, and promised to contradict it ; but, on being required to give up an authority, or name some other person who had mentioned it, positively refused, and expressed himself ready to abide by the alternative. A. went away apparently satisfied. Each party had a friend present, and their evidence must be held conclusive. Both the friends, agree that B. acted with spirit and propriety, and that it was not even alleged that B. had mentioned the report otherwise than inadvertently, if at all. At this distance of time, it is quite immaterial who mentioned a current rumour inadvertently ; but C. states posi tively that he never saw A. on the subject ; that his name was used without his knowledge and much to his regret ; and all that he ever said (to a third person) was, that he had heard the report at a party in B.'s chambers." And so A., having (let us not inquire how) become a Queen's Counsel and Bencber of the In nerTemple before 8., magnanimously wreaks his vengeance of thirteen years' keeping on 8., by blackballing him for a post of professional dignity, the mode of electing to which, we venture to say, would have been long ago altered, if the use of the monstrous power now given to one black ball had been supposed possible. We may mention that the above account of the quarrel is founded on a printed statement of facts which has been widely circulated by Mr. HAYWARD, with his name appended, and to which no answer has been made. in print, feeling that the object which they had in view might be seriously impeded by the prema ture publication. We presume that this will be made known to the Benchers, who will then have no excuse for feeling offence._ In the recent appointment of Mr. SMYTHE to the Under-Secretaryship of Foreign Affairs may be seen, we hope, something more than the mere nomination of a young aristocratic Member of the House of Com mons to a subordinate office in the Government. Sir ROBERT PEEL'S appointments have hitherto made him open, in a most marked degree, to the reproach of discouragement of the rising talent of his party, preference for manageable mediocrity, and subservi ence to the aristocracy. Let us hope this is a be ginning of a better system. The Duke of RICHMOND'S and Lord SOUTHAMPTON'S recent manifestoes have probably convinced the Premier, that the only object 1 for which he could have been in3uced to saddle him self with their brothers in the Government has not been gained ; he has choked up his Government with aristocratic dummies, and the Dukes and Lords, whom he thereby hoped to muzzle, bark and growl not withstanding. The course which Sir ROBERT PEEL has hitherto taken, of seemingly deferring to the pre judices of the bulk of his party, and gradually forcing from them small concessions, as op portunity served, may have had much to do with his allocation of places. Talent and independence will not submit to play a part in such policy. So it has happened that all the rising talent of the Con servative party has been found, not only beyond the pale of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Government, but in a position of quasi-hostility towards it. Its leanings have been all towards a more liberal policy, which we trust that Sir ROBERT PEEL is now about to embrace cordially and entirely; and we hope we may look on Mr. SMYTHE'S appointment as the precursor of others, which could not fail to strengthen public confidence in Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Government. We may, without being invidious, more particularly men tion Mr. MONCRTON MILNES and Lord JOHN MAN NERS as having gained for themselves a position with the public which would give more strength to Sir ROBERT PEEL than all the conciliation which all his adroitness could effect with all the great protec tionist Dukes and Lords by whose connexions he is surrounded. To any exaggeration of facts, with the intention of backing up a favourite argument, we are always most scrupulously averse ; nor have we any particular affection for those mawkish and romantic senti mentalisms with which the advocates of a principle occasionally attempt to enforce its truth. Neverthe less, circumstances will now and then arise which savour considerably of fiction, rnd an especial allusion to which might, to the superficial, subject us to the accusation of a morbid partiality for some old wife's story ; although an adherence to feelings of humanity and a sense of common justice render such allusions absolutely incumbent upon us. One of these sin gular occurrences—showing for the nine hundred and ninety-ninth time the inherent rottenness and cruelty of the existing poor-laws—took place on Sunday last, at the union workhouse, in Norwich. It will amply correspond with our intention to glance hurriedly over the particulars of the case, such as they were yesterday described to be before the bench of local magistrates. In the abstract the tale is an old one, but there are mixed up with it several incidental facts that clothe it with a new interest. An old soldier, a pauper in the poor-house, obtains permission from the authorities to visit his wife and child, who are con fined in another ward : after, however, the half-hour allotted for this interviewlas expired, he is possessed with a sudden feeling of rebellion against the matron, and a wild resolution that he will be separated no longer from the former partner of his home, his hearth, and his bed. Upon this a policeman is called in to remove the insubordinate veteran against his inclination. The old soldier clings to his wife, offers no other resistance whatever, uses no language of abuse or passion—and what does the constable do in return ? Beats the old soldier on " the elbow" with his baton, then upon " the bone of his leg," and finally drags them —man, wife, and child—" all three hanging together, to a dungeon, where they are locked -r •• unntp inmate of the establishment is seized with the , resolves to be no longer parted from his wife, who is in her last month with child ; and seeing them both " clinging together," the same policeman (having now settled the other couple) beats them violently with his staff. Surely these simple facts afford ample op portunity for the eloquent remonstrances of a phi lanthropist. In the hands of a skilful romancist, much that is pathetic and much that is horrible might he conjured out of the details: the old campaigner, fired with an abrupt and almost child-like recurrence to the affection of many years, the woman within a few weeks of her confinement, the storm of weepings and the bludgeon of the law. Out of these materials a harrowing and startling picture might be produced. In speaking as we have done we are far from wishing to countenance disobedience to legal regulations, how ever harsh or stringent they may appear—quite the contrary. Nor do we purpose uttering any diatribe against Mr. STACEY, because he merely "gently re proved the officers for their improper use of their staves;" though whether such leniency be advisable is a matter for question. We are only actuated by a desire to direct particular attention to this recent proof of the over-rigour generally displayed towards paupers by the subordinate officials throughout the country. There is a blight elsewhere than among the potatoes—and a blight still more worthy of analysis and eradication. The Moniteur Grec of the 30th of December gives an account of the opening of the second_ Par liamentary session on the 22d. The KING opened the session in person, with a speech from the throne, but we find nothing in it worth extracting. It is the most vague production of the kind we ever read, and shows that COLETTI has great skill in using words without conveying ideas. The attendance of Mem bers on the occasion was very small, and even up to the 29th a sufficient number had not arrived to elect a president. We have received Madrid journals of the 9th. On that day the Chamber of Deputies resumed the dis cussion on the Address, which terminated in a violent scene. On the Minister of the Interior announcing that a Bill for the better regulation of the press would be introduced in the course of the session, the object of which was to place the press on a more indepen dent footing, Senor ORENSE made a violent at tack upon the general policy of the Go vernment, and declared that it was nothing but a tissue of illegalities and acts of violence. Ile denounced the conduct of RENJIFO, the police spy or agent, who got up the unfounded charges against CORTINA, but blamed still more that Government who, according to RENJIFO'S admission, had sent a person in their confidence to him to say—" Get up a conspiracy, and place yourself at the head of it, for an opportunity is wanted of shooting some persons." This produced a storm in the Chamber, during which the Minister of the Interior demanded that M. ORENSE'S words should be taken down. General NAEVAEZ rose in a violent passion, and after re butting the wicked charge, called Senor ORENSE a calumniator, and vowed to take effectual steps to stop such attacks. This only increased the con fusion and the violence of the parties, and the PREM.- DENT, after vainly trying to restore order, adjourned the assembly. A general belief now prevails at Madrid that the marriage of the QUEEN with Count TRAPANI is finally arranged, and that an announce ment to that effect will soon be made to the Cortes. If Parliament once begins to inquire into legal abuses, there is no saying where it may stop ; and the transition will not be difficult from the election of Queen's Counsel to be Benchers to the prior process of manufacturing Queen's Counsel. Many a time has public feeling been outraged, and an injury in flicted on professional prospects, by the refu sa l o f th e rank of Queen's Counsel to a political opponent of the Government, whose professional claims are undis puted. There is no defence of this system of mak ing the distribution of professional honour dependent on politics. Yet it is no Lord Chancellor's fault : established custom binds each succeeding occu pant of the Woolsack to follow in the path of his predecessors. But discussion must seal the fate of so objectionable a system ; and as we have said before, if discussion of legal abuses begin, there is no saying where it may end. There would, indeed, be something of just retribution in the late insult to Mr. HAYWARD leading to inquiry into certain recent appointments of Queen's Counsel. We regret to learn that the appearance in the pub lic papers of the requisition to the Benchers of the Inner Temple, which we printed yesterday, some days after its first appearance, is thought likely to be of some disservice to Mr. HAYWARD'S cause; the docu ment having been published in the first instance, to the great surprise of the gentlemen who have signed it, before it was presented to the Bencher s . We trust, however, that th e Benchers will be above allowing this extraneous accident to affect their de cision in a case of individual hardship. We are assured that none of the promoters of the requisition published it, and that all greatly regretted seeing it On the 9th the Three per Cents. closed at 34 at 60 days ; and the Debt without Interest at 7i at 60 days. The debate in the French Chamber of Peers on the Address, according to appearance, would occupy the whole of the week, so that it could not commence in the Chamber of Deputies till Monday at the earliest. On Thursday the usual annual paragraph in favour of Polish nationality was unanimously adopted ; and at the hour of post the paragraphs relative to Algeria were under discussion. In the Chamber of Deputies nothing was done, but the Committees appointed to examine the Budget in - detail were actively engaged, and five of the Com mittees had finished their investigations. The de partments which came under consideration were chiefly those of War, Marine, and Finance. For the first, the expenses are fixed at 325,693,957 f. (13,000,0001.), those for Algeria being 75,992,211 f. (3,030,0001.) The estimates are calculated for 279,765 men and 66,249 horses for France, and 60,000 men and 15,241 horses for Algeria. This gives an augmentation of 2,305,744 f. for France, and 2,901,7841. for Algeria. The augmentations relative to Algeria were objected to in some of the bureaux. For the Marine, the ordinary expenses are estimated at 117,863,654 f., and the ex traordinary ones at 8,240,000 f. The augmentation for the former is 658,000 f. for 1847. The number of vessels is maintained on nearly the same footing as in 1846. For that year they were 170, and for 1847 they will be 188. It is announced in the documents laid before the bureaux, that in 1847 there will be 64 steamers on active service, comprising eight re quired for the western coasts of Africa. As to sailing vessels, there are to be employed in the year 1847 one frigate and two corvettes less than in that of 1846, but a greater number of cor vettes of the second class. Nothing is to be changed in the vessels in commission de rade, and in commis sion de port. A sum of 61,300 f. demanded for the es tablishment of chaplains for the naval divisions was opposed by several members of the Opposition, who declared that they did not wish to behold a recurrence of the abuses witnessed at the time of the restoration, when priests were established in the regiments. For the Finance department the expenses are estimated at 633,626,2401., being an augmentation of 10,482,2131. It is on the service of the public debt that the aug mentation principally occurs. The new charges inscribed on this part of the budget amount to 6,776,7811., but reductions bring it down to 5,238,280 f. The sum placed aside for the Five per Cents. is 146,753,9351.; for the Four per Cents. 26,507,375 f. ; and for the Three per Cents. 65,150,5421. The interest of the floating debt is fixed at 18,000,000 f. But little discussion took place in the bUreaux on the demands of this department. Additional dispatches have been received from Al giers, which announce another victory over ABD-EL KADER, but it is a singular kind of victory. That chief had ventured boldly into the heart of the country occupied by the French, and committed ravages on the territories of all who remained faithful to them. General JUMP came up with him, hav ing under his command 450 horse, while ABD-El• KADER had 700, and the Arabs were completely dis persed, but the loss on both sides was trifling. Al together, BUGEAUD'S position appears hopeless. He cannot repel the aggressor, and his own troops are worn out with fatigne. The National, on this sub ject, says : We learn, in fact, that the column commanded by Marshal Bugeaud in person is in the most deplorable condition. Forced marches, the rains, the bad state of the roads, and privations, have put a great number of both officers and soldiers hors de combat. As for the cavalry, it may be said that it no longer exists; the horses having nearly all sunk under hunger and fatigue, insomuch that the Marshal has been obliged to transmit orders to General Lamoriciere to send hm in all haste the whole of his cavalry. This general, who occupied Frenda, a post of the utmost importance under present circumstances, has been constrained, by complying with this order of his superior, to replace his squadrons by calling in those of General Korte, who, that he might not leave without defence the southern frontier towards Daia and Saida, has caused himself to be replaced by Colonel Walsin d'Esterhazy, who was operating in the north. And this is not all. On the eve of the battle of Temda, Marshal Bugeaud had pro visions for no more than twenty-four hours, for his entire army, and was obliged to obtain some from General Lamoriciere ; who, thanks to his humane and prudent policy, has so firmly re-established the security of the subdivision of Mascara, that he was able to bring up a large convoy of provisions, and afford the Commander in-Chief a share. This, however, was but a feeble relief, and the column of the Marshal was then at too great a distance from the towns by which he could be completely re. victualled. Thus is the military system of the Hero of Isly decidedly characterised. Marshal Bugeaud may boast of having, by his own fault, aggra vated a situation which was already sufficiently critical. We should rejoice with all our hearts if we had less reason to cry out against him ; for God knows what sacrifices we shall still have to make to get finally rid of an enemy whose skill and resources set at defiance the common-place understanding of the adversary whom the Government persist in opposing to him, as if for the purpose of rendering his task the more easy of accom plishment. The Moniteur publishes the following returns of the indirect taxes and revenues for 1845, which show an increase of 16,038,000 f. over those of 1844, and of 39,329,000 f. as compared with 1843.

The number of foreigners present was great, th• invitations having been issued on an extensive scale. Every day (says the Constitutionne/) the Govern ment offices are deluged with applications for employ ment. There are, it is said, this year, about four thousand candidates, all supported by recommendations, for the places of supernumerary in the direction of en registrement and domains of the Ministry of Finances. On the report of M. Calmon, Director-General of this department, the Minister of Finances has decided that these places shall in future be given upon competition as to merit, and not by recommendation, and that the number of candidates shall be limited to one hundred. Some agitatio i is still manifested in Switzerland, particularly in the Canton of Berne, where the people are holding meetings with a view to bring about a radi cal change in the constitution. On Sunday last there was a meeting at Arberg of 4,000 persons, and a resolu tion was come to, to send an address to the Grand Coun cil, calling for the creation of a constituent assembly for the proposed revision of the constitution. A similar but still more numerous meeting was also held at Givatt, at which the same resolution was come to. In both in stances it was resolved, that if the Grand Council should not comply with the application a popular meeting should be convened in the capital. We understand that Ibrahim Pachis is expected in Paris about the middle of next month, if the weather should not be so severe as to render his removal from a warm climate injurious, and that apartments have been prepared for him at the ElysZte-Bourbon.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were fully 4,000 Wilts, all to the trade. The market is steady. The following are the results obtained from a comparison of the Bank of England returns to Jan. 17, with those to January 2:— Notes issued Decrease 134,725 Public Deposits .... 5,191,017 Decrease Other Deposits Increase Notes in Banking Department 5,672,855 Decrease Bullion 13,193,383 Decrease For a considerable time past the Post office authorities have had very good grounds for the belief that a system was going on of issuing spurious letter stamps, and that to a very considerable amount. Measures were taken to discover in what quarter of the country the fraud was committed, but, until a few days since, without effect. A clue having been found, a seizure took place yesterday of a considerable number of forged stamp, and the mistress of a post office in the vicinity of London was apprehended, and no doubt the police reports of to-day will show to what extent the practice has been followed up. It may be, however, that for the present there will not be any facts entered into, as the Post-office is prosecuting inquiries in other directions, under, as we ars informed, the full belief that the scheme of robbery has been carried on with impunity in more quarters than the one to which peculiar attention is now directed. We are in formed that the plan hit upon by the Postmaster-General, to discover the fraud, was a novel cne, and which, when fully matured, mast lead to a speedy detection of other offenders. The Funds are on the decline again, and as the Account is polished off, the American news, of which the tenor is con sidered, upon mature reflection, as unfavourable, will tell more upon prices than was the case yesterday. Consols are 94% to 94 for Money, and 94 1 % to 14 for Account. Bank Stock is worth 203% to 205. The New Three-and-a-Quar ter par Cents. are down to 97 and 96 1 / 2 . Exchequer-bills are worth 17s. to 14s. premium. Spanish Five per Cents. are flat at 28%; Portuguese Four per Cents. 59% • and Equador Bends, ; Belgian Four- and-a-Half per Cents. have been 97%; and butch Two and-a-Half per Cents. 59. Many of the Railway Scrips are better to-day, and we still hear of parties picking up what they conceive to be bargains in lines which they can rely upon. The Boston, Grantham, and Lincoln Company have set an excellent example to other concerns which have not yet got their deposits. They offer, if the amount paid by applicants be not sufficient to provide the Parliamentary deposit, they will return the whole without any deduction for expenses. This relieves parties of any apprehension as to whether their fellow applicants may pay up, though the respectability of the Committee in such cases must be the best guarantee. Messrs. Lamond and Co. had a fair sale of shares yesterday, but we have not room for prices. In shares a steady business had been done, and the market had a better appearance : ONZ CLOSING PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK. PRICES. Bank Stock 3 per Cent.
