Several railway Bills were read a second time, and or dered to be committed. Various petitions having been presented, Mr. floposox lIINDE gave notice that tomorrow he should ask if the Government intended to introduce any ----- legislative measure founded on the report of the Gauge Commissioners. Sir J. GRAHAM, in reply to Mr. WODEMOUSE, said that he would place his Bill for regulating the law of settlement on the table of the House on an early day, but that he would not pre:a it forward until the Bill regulating our commercial policy should have been passed. The County Works (Ireland) Bill was read a third time and passed. The Drainage (Ireland) Bill wa read a third time. Sir J. GRAHAM moved a new clause, authorising works to be undertaken on the consent of a bare majority of the proprietors, instead of requiring the consent of two thirds, as at present, and throwing the burden of proof upon those who affirmed that the consent of the ma jority had been obtained. The clause was agreed to and added to the Bill, and the Bill was passed. Mr. CoLurrr then rose to move for a Committee of Privileges to inquire into the causes that led to the vacation of their seats in this House, by the Members lately. representing Chichester, Newark, Woodstock, and Buckingham, to make inquiries as to the elections of the present Members for those places, and to inquire how far the standing order against the interference of Peers in elections had been infringed. The Honour able Member commenced reading his speech, and was met with loud cries of " order." He, however, con- tinned to read amidst loud cries of "order," intermingled with laughter, which occasionally rendered him in audible. The excuse for the old nomination boroughs had been, that they insured seats for men of ,talent ; but in these new nomination boroughs talent was re jetted. Why, he would ask, had Mr. GLADSTONE been prevented from coming forward as a candidate for Newark ? Why, because he was a member of the Government of the Right Hon. Baronet, and the Right Hon. Baronet was opposed to the Duke of NEWCASTLE. In the cases of Chichester and Buckingham, Sir T. FREMANTLE and Lord A. LENNOX had been compelled to resign by the Dukes of BUCKINGHAM and RICHMOND, and two inexperienced youths returned by those Noble Dukes in their places, and thus the House had bean deprived of the services of the best Irish Secretary at a most important period. Now, by their own standing orders, ,he interference of Peers in the elections of Members of bad been induced to rush into the market ; they hal been deceived ; and the farmers having found thOse pro- phecies false, would not trust his prophecies for the fut ure. Then, with regard to the lion. Member for Sunderland, who seemed to regard the prospect of a famine in Ire land with iron nerves, he had certainly said that he could import his foreign corn at 255. a quarter ; but he had been wise enough to keep his secret, and did not tell them where this cheap corn could be procured. Like a good political economist, the lion. Gentleman bought in the cheapest and sold in the dearest market. lie would advise the lion. Member to withdraw his rr- Apectable name from the provisional committee of the bubble of protection— a scheme to keep up high rents and high prices by artificial means. High prices did not benefit the farmer—they were caused by scarcity, Neither did they benefit the labourer, for the nominal high wages of England could only be exchanged for a less quantity of food than could be procured abroad for the low wages paid there. Wages were not regulated by the price of corn. In America corn was cheap and wages were high. In England the price of corn had been kept up by artificial means, and the diet of the labourer bad been reduced in consequence from beef to bread, and ultimately from beef to potatoes. The Noble Lord then traced the history of the corn-laws from 1630 to 1815. When the law of 1815 was intro duced, Mr. lioniNsort declared that the object of the measure was not to benefit the hncled aristocracy, although they now asked for compen sation for the withdrawal of protection. He 1+ as a landowner and a farmer, and he believed they had nothing to fear from competition. Believir g the mea sure of the Government calculated to benefit all classes of the community, he should give it his hearty support. Mr. HUDSON denied, in the most emphatic manner, that he had spoken lightly of the distresses of Ireland. He had said that he admitted that distress, and would support any measure that might be brought forward for the alleviation of it. Mr. Alderman THOMPSON had eat in that House for twenty-six years, and had observed the effects of the various changes which had been introduced into our commercial policy during that period. He had also wit nessed the great changes in our banking system which had been introduced, and the success of which had not as yet been tested, and concerning the effects of which men of experience entertained great doubts; and looking to the enactments of these monetary measures, and to the admission of the Right Hon. Baronet that he was not prepared to state that other countries would take our manufactures in return, he feared that the free importation of corn would greatly derange the currency. He admitted that the potato crop in Ireland had failed to a great extent. He would ask, why had not the Government taken mea sures to provide against the danger by opening the ports? The reason he believed was that there was no Anti-Corn-law League then to delude the people as there was now. It was a delusion for them to say that, under a repeal of the corn-laws, the present rate of wages could be maintained. Where was the necessity for the proposed change ? The raanufaeturers were making large profits, employment was plenty, wages were high, and the people were contented and happy. The number of depositors in the savings' banks, and the aggregate ' capital of those institutions, had greatly increased since 1841, proving the increased prosperity of the indus trious classes. Under these circumstances, what neces sity was there for proposing these g rea t Chang. s, would rtftn the best customer of the manufacturcr— namely, the agriculturist. If, as had been stated. protec tion was in every circumstance bad, he would a lc, why had the measure not been made more ext. ns;ve? Was not the Cornish miner protected ? Did they intend to repeal the Navigation Laws? Had they not a right to demand the abolition of the shipowners' monopoly of the coasting trade ? He m;ght be answered that the national safety required that foreigners should not iefer fere with our coasting trade; and if so, honesty required that protectian should be continued to agriculture. Ile knew of no country in which free trade existed, and he could not support the proposition of the Government. He asked where was there a statesman who advcci.ted free trade ? that house was declared a high breach of privilege. The Hon. Gentleman then read from the journals seve ral cases in which the House had noticed the inter ference of Peers in elections. The Hon. Member would, first of all, draw the attention of the House to Chichester, On referring to " Dodd's Parliamentary Guide," he found it stated under the head of " Chichester," that the Duke of RICHMOND'S influence returned one Member for the city. Lord ARTHUR LENNOX, who had frequently represented Chichester, had accepted office (luring the last autumn ; he had been re-elected ; had taken the oaths and his seat on the 27th of January, and on the Bth of February a new writ had been moved for. The Hon. Gentleman then quoted rrom various newspapers the accounts given as to the cause of the resignation of Lord A. LENNox, and the election of Lord H. Lvexox, and declared his opinion that the privileges of the House had been infringed upon by the interference of CHARLES Duke of RICHMOND in the representation of Chichester. In Newark, it was stated in " Dodd's Parliamentary Coirpa nion," that the Duke of NEWCASTLE'S influence was great. The Honourable Gentlemen then re lated the history of the last election for Newark, and stated that he believed that in respect to that bo rough the privileges of the House had been infringed by HENRY PELHAM, Duke of NEWCASTLE, who had concerned himself in the election for Newark. He next referred to Woodstock, and related the history of the various recent elections fur that borough, concluding by declaring that it was his impression, and he stated that he verily believed the privileges of Parlia-- ment had been infrirged by GEORGE SPENCER Sir R. PEEL intimated that the Hon. Member hid signed the famous London free-trade petition in 1820. Mr. Alderman TnomPsoN admitted he had done so, but he still asked, where was there the statesman in CHURCHILL, Duke Of MARLBOROUGH, by his hav ing concerned, himself in the election of Members to serve in Parliament for the borough, all which charges, if a Committee were granted, he verily believed he should establish. He then referred to the case of Rackingham, in which the Duke of BUCKINGHAM possessed great influence, and he charged the Duke of BUCKINGHAM with having infringed the liberties and privileges of the House by his having concerned him self in the return of Members to that House for the borough of Buckingham. The Hon. Member concluded by moving for the appointment of a Select Committee, and placed ,in the hands of the Speaker the charges he had made against certain Peers, which he was prepared to prove to the Committee. Mr. W. WILLIAMS seconded the motion. He did not expect to have been called upon to do so. Ile had ex pected that the Noble Lord the Member for Chichester, or the Noble Marquis the Member for Buckingham, would have seconded the motion, in order to answer the charges against themselves and their Noble Fathers. He expected that Government would have supported such a motion. These charges were so grave that the House of Commons ought not to pass them over without inquiry. In the cases which had been brought forward by the Hon. and Learned Member for Bath, a Committee had been granted, and the present charges were of even a graver nature. These charges involved matters degrading to the character of the House, and they were bound to inquire into a matter of such grave impertanze. The charge was, that those Peers had compelled Members, who supported a measure brought forward for the public benefit by the Government, to resign their seats, and lied returned n om i nees w h o would vote against those measures intended for the public good, and ia support solely of the private inte rests of those Noble persons. The Government, which had been calumniated by these Noble ia persons,si g h rac efu,atl an int( rest in having this inquiry ma It was ro the gentlemen of England to have shown the seTish feeling they had shown in relation to the m easure pro posed by the Government. If the representation of the people was to be tainted in this way, they would raise an Agitation for a new reform, and new schedule A. The Peers should be warned by the fate of the aristocracy in the French revolution; and not set up their privatein terests against these of the public. Sir It. PEEL could see no necessity for iptrodueing the question of the corn-laws into this debate, neither was it fair to impute improper motives to those who were under charge. With regard to the imputations against himself by those noble persons, he must say he was not aware that any such imputation; of dishonest motives had been made ; and if there had, he must say that that would not influence his decision in the least. net the Peers exercised an influence in elections it was observed to: deny, and he hoped the day weu'd never arrive when the Peers would cease to exercise a legiti mate influence. God forbid that the day should ever arrive when either Peers or Commoners should cease to sxercise the influence of virtue. The less of coercion was exercised by a virtuous and high minded man the greater would be his influence. The question was , however, had any illegitimate influence been exercised by those Peers ? If they granted this Committee there oever µ ould eccur an election in the case of which a si milar inquiry might not be called for. The Hon. Gen tleman had not adduced one single fact or offered one single proof of any act of interference on the part of those Peers. The Hon. Member had read certain ex tracts from newspapers, but surely he would not condemn public men on this authority. The only reason why his Right Honourable Friend had vacated his seat was a too delicate sense of honour, which he could not blame, although, constitutionally, he thought it was wrong, if they were assembled there not as delegates but as free agents. Then, with regard to Sir THOMAS FREMANTLE, he had at his election given a specific pledge that he would retain the corn law, and on the representation of the majority of his constituents, those constituents not bc.sing urged by the 'nfluenced of any Peer, be had deemed it his duty to resign his seat. Let it be remembered that they lived in an atmosphere of public cpinion. Peers had a right to express their opinion in a public meeting, if they would, of the conduct of public men, and if their tenants and friends chose to adopt their advice, he would not wish to prevent it. If they could bring forward any proof of an improper and direct interference of Peers at elections, he would vote for inquiry,. but he would not vote for a fishing committee, and ho would act as be would have done if the Noble individuals had still con tinued to him their confidence, and would offer his de f owttlioeatnhne. cided opposition to the motion. Mr. HUME thought it absurd to continue the standing orders, but he would recommend his Hon. Friend to withdraw his motion, as he certainly had not brought forward sufficient evidence to authorise the appointment the nomination boroughs had not been all done away Mr. S. e —.BA.wroat? was more than ever convinced of boe eymieraits:let,itty.Rei seoe'liffeo;lmt sl however, perfectly clear that still t further reform in the representa tion, illegitimate legitimate influence maintained, what it ought to be influencea_ destroyed, and this House made people. full and fair representation of the Mr. COLLETT then withd rew his motion. Lord J. RUSSELL complained that papers l laid on the table in reference to the war war,with t and en w o i s sh Ax es threw no light on the origin of the know if any further papers would be laid on the table ? to Sir R. PEEL could not produce any further papers at present. Lord PALMERSTON asked if any convention had been entered into between this country . and France prior to the commencement of hostilities in Buenos . Ayres, for • the purpose of regulating the conduct of those hostilities? Sir R. PEEL said instructions had been issued by the two but tGhaotrenroncmoennytesnftoiornthheadrebgeuelnateionnteoref( into.tihoseoperations, then Th r e es ad u I n o e u d rn b e y d debate on the commercial policy Lord DUNCAN, who ridiculed the idea of the being deluged by foreign corn, as had be en prophesied country by the Member for East Somersetshire. On the tariff debate that Hon. Gentleman had prophesied that there would be an imense import of foreign cattle, and graziers Europe or America who was an advocate for a perfect free trade? Mr. WEBSTER certainly was not, for he had only , recently declared himself a protectionist. He was not inclined to go back or stand still in their com • martial policy, but be did not go on in the road pointed out by the Right Hon. Baronet. In calculating the in creased rental of 1842, as compared with 1815, the Ri;,ht Hon. Baronet had omitted to allude to the great quan tity of waste land enclo.;ed since that period, and there fore his conclusion was fallacious. He believed that the Right Hon. Barorict would have done far more good in r.Ttucin. the duty on tea and sugar than in bringing forward this question. lie deeply regretted that a sense of duty compelled him to vote against the proposition of the Right Hon. Bort-met. Sir W. MOLESWORTII supported the measure, believ ing that the adoption of the proposition of the Govern ment would be beneficial to all parties. • Mr. BENETT felt bound to oppose the measure intro duced by the Right lion. Baronet. Cheap corn and cheap lsbour might exist together , but cheap corn and dear labour never c ou ld. The effect of the measure would be to crush the little farmers, as the l.ttle manu facturers had been, and ultimately to reduce the wages of the labourer. He cepjected to the measure because it would have that (Met, and he firmly believed that in doing so he was supporting, rot only the landed but the manufacturing in-rest. He was convinced that when this question was carried the tall chiinnies of the manu facturer would be undermined and totter to thsir Ha had much respect for the balance of parties in the' Haase, but he did not believe that the furtherance of that object would be effected by the carrying of the pre sent measure. Mr. F. li. BERKELEY denied that the Hon. Member who moved the amendment represented the ,opinions of the constituency of the city. s.f Bristol on this great subject, and felt convinced that an appeal to the country would justify him in that assertion. He should support the proposition of the Government. Mr. J. ToeisEaraeun would vote against the free trade proposition of her Majesty's Government. His opinions with respect to free trade remained unchanged. He was afraid that this measure would not only pass this but the other House of Parliament. Mr. T. DUNCOMRE supported the measure. lie thought that it became those who owed their seats, nut to any Noble Lord, but to the people, to rescue the Right Honourable Baronet from the obloquy that was attempted to be cast upon him. He admits d the man ner in which the Right Hon. Baronet had brought for ward this question, and the determination which he had displayed to carry it out. The Recorder of Dublin bad called the Right Honourable Baronet and his Government political cowards ; he believed cowardice was on the other side. The Right Hon. Baronet had done a great service to his country in bringing this question forward, and ho would meet his reward. lie would give him his most cordial support, feeling eon vinced that his measures were sound, and his object worthy of a great statesman. The people of England were a grateful and forgiving people ; they forgot the errors the Right Hon. Baronet had for years committed, and gladly accepted from him the boon that he now offend them. He believed that the great boon that would be given to the people by thjs measure would be the determination of the l aw o f settlement. That would be. a great act of justice to the operative classes. He believed that the measure was calculated to improve the condition of the people, and he therefore gave it his support. Sir Tuomas D. ACLAND could not discover upon what grounds the present measure had been brought forward, and he should therefore give it his opposition. The corn-law was not an oppressive law, and he did not - see why it should be repealed. Mr. B. BARING urged the immediate settlement of this question, which, if suffered to go on, must become a question of classes, and give rise to an agitation dan gerous to the existence of property itself. Let them take warning by the Catholic question, and yield in time. On the • motion of Mr. C. BRUCE the debate was ad journed till to-morrow. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Twelve o'clock. Their Lordships met at Five o'clock. Lora DACRE presented s petition in favour of repeal of the corn-laws, but asking inquiry into the pro cevlings of the Anti-Corn-law League. '.Chet Earl of KINNAIRD said that the Ana-Corn-law League were only acting constitutionally, and courted inquiry into their proceedings. The Earl of ROSEBERY presente i a petition from Linlithgow in favour of the total and immediate repeal of the oorn-laws. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE r ostponed the presenta tion of the petition, o f a hich he had given notice, from the colony of Va s D iemen's Land, relative to the co; . vide of that colony. Lord BEAUMONT moved' pursuant t o no ti ce , f o r p a p e r. re lative to the interference of lEie that and France in the affairs of Rio de la Plata. believed th a t no thi n g vas more dangerous than sue t h an rthe interference had interferenc e as had H taken place. e believed h taken place for the support of aafsactgill and nothi ng e l se. The Earl of ABERDEEN w Noble Lord had left the Eastern for theto:'tonly wicked See that the Western World. ld The war in the River de la Plate was n but senseless. Eve r y thin g had been done by E, g tto put an end to such a fruitless warfare, but effect. England and France were united on this subject, having no other object in view but to unite all parties. He could assure the House that on this subject the United States disavowed the whole of the proceedings of their agents. General Roils had made fresh pro posals un this subject ; they were not admissible at pre sent, but, he thought they would lead to the settlement .of this question. Under these circumstances, he hoped the Noble Lord would not press fur the production of the papers. After some observations from Lord COLCHESTER and the Duke of WELLINGTON, the motion was withdrawn. A message from the Commons brought up the Grand Jury (Ireland) Presentment Bill and the Drainage (Ire land) Bill. In answer to a question from Earl GREY, the Earl of ST.

A respectable deputation from a portion of the Liberal electors of Westminster waited upon us yesterday to corn plain of some remarks which appeared in The Sun of yesterday respecting the result of the election. The considered that in these remarks an unjust imputation was cast on the conduct and motives of the electors in their opposition. to Captain Rous, asserted that only a small number of protectionists voted for General EVANS, that the motives which guided the Liberal electors were in Perfect accordance with the principles which they had long and conscientiously professed, and that nothing was further from their views than to play into the hands of the Dukes of NEWCASTLE, Rxcn- MOND, and BUCKLNGETAM, for the purpose of arnnying Sir R. PEEL, and throwing obstacles in the way of a Government that had introduced measures approved without exception by Whigs, Liberals, and Radicals. We must state, first of all, that we never attributed to the Liberal electors of Westminster any improper mo tives, and that it is impossible to draw any such con clusion from our remarks. We believe them to be as firm and consistent in their principles as at any former period, when Westminster stood forward repeatedly a; one of the first and most powerful opponents of bribery, corruption, and rotten boroughs; but, at the same time, we blamed their policy in taking any steps which could in the remotest degree embarrass Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Government, or endanger the repeal of the most unjust and most obnoxious of all laws that ever afflicted the working classes of the United Kingdom. The corn law question was the one r t ta v ei i n h i :nl i zoi c i nt h hat eh w nehe ekept prominetly in view, but we also had regard to the entire new tariff, and to another measure which the liberal electors of Westminster have strongly supported—a repeal of the wicked and ruinous system by which the navy of E owmf n ei g afnak l i a rse n tnge d errae h aat besyr requiredb al e n e p n doti ovr s ti : I:bit:0: i : : g controlled and crippled. We considered the carrying of such vast naeavures assertionz, in su place pa:supporters e n ordsf ;being a n i 1 vindi cation of principles at a crisis when the hands of the knowing that a general election was near, we thought it infinitely better for the elect ors to wait for that event, and in the meantime to cheer on the Minister, and aid him in every possible way against the powerful resist. ance of the House of Lords, and the general hostility of the agrictiltural interest. Our object was to gain our THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 20) 1848. point while we bad the opportunity, and not allow the Libtrals to waite time in proving what could not be disputed, their reverence for the great principles of civil and religions liberty. There is a time for everything. Lord Linea's, however, with a fervour of patriotism and a staunchness of heart most commendable, is fighting gallantly with the weapon of fact in the cause cf the proposed freedom to commerce in that nest of agricultural interest, S:uth Notting hamshire. From these circumstances we may glean some most important deductions : first, that the people art self-assured in their devotion to free-trade ; secondly, that there is a general and reasonable expecta tion of a dissolution of the Parliament now sitting, and that this expectation arises from the insane perversity of the gentlem€n in favour of protection ; thirdly, that the admirers of the Ministerial proposition are husbanding their vigour for that great and conc,usive effort; and, finally, that the ultimate abo lition of import and export duties is as utterly beyond a doubt as that the skies of summer are blue, or that the cowslips blossom in spring. With this knowledge the nation must bide its time, in security. The millenium of commerce L not a shibboleth—free-trade will be its as " A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." We wished to make our great purpose secure, to possess the object within our reach, and not endanger the whole by grasping at too much. It would require only a few defeats like that of Westminster to weaken the authority and power of Sir ROBERT PEEL. The Tory Lords re joice at it—all the high Tory journals have for days been urging the Conservatives to vote for General EVANS. Their pressing entreaties cannot have been in vain, and would the defeat produce such rejoicing in the " Church and State" camp unless it were regarded as a heavy blow and great discouragement to Sir ROBERT PEEL ? Suppose every liberal constituency bad the same Occasion, and adopted the same policy as Westminster, would Sir ROBKRT PEEL'S weight and influence not be utterly destroyed both in the Lords and Commons ? The Lords would reject the measure with the utmost disdain, for it is his power only they fear ; they would say, " We cannot submit to the dictation of A lip. Corn law Leaguers and Radicals ; we will force on en appeal to the country, and then it will be seen . whether the affairs of this great nation aro to be go verned by illegal associations and destructives, or by the principles dictated by our venerable Constitution. We admit this is an extreme case, but still it is the duty of journalists to resist evil at the beginning, and to lend every assistance to a Minister whose plans are unexceptionable, and who has sacrificed political ties, personal frieniships, and his entire authority as a Conservative leader for the purpose of carrying great measures, which that journalist has, in season and, out of season, advocated for the last twenty years. Had The Sun followed any other course, it might justly be branded as a renegade, denounced as a brawler for principles which it never expected to see accomplished, and charged with the crime of rejecting the invaluable benefits for which it had so faithfully contended, on the miserable pre tence that they were conferred by a Minis ter who was once a Tory. There would be an utter want of honesty in such a plea. What we want, and what the great body of the people want, are good measures and good Government; for this purpose we have supported Sir ROBERT PEEL, because we are fully convinced that by weakening his authority and thereby throwing a doubt on the noble un dertakings which have distinguished his Ministry, we endanger in the most serious manner the accom plishment of objects dear to every friend of his country. The loss of Captain Roe's for Westmin ster is great in another respect. It is a general loss to the nation. lle is put into the Admiralty as a naval reformer ; his services every sailor, and every landsman too, will say are much wanted ; and, without a seat in the House, he might contend with his colleagues at the Board, and state his reasons, but his work would ouly be half done. The abuses in the navy would still prevail to their utmost extent, and the Minister might, in a fit of disappointment, give up his scheme when he finds that the electors of Westminster, so determinedly opposed to flogging in the navy, and every other abuse in that great national system of defence, appear lukewarm in the cause, and have rejected the very man commissioned to investigate these frightful abuses. A t this particular stage of the present discussion, a cur sory surrey of the elections which are just now agitating various constituencies throughout the kingdom, can neither be uninteresting of uuinstructing ; since from these local seethings-up of the political cauldron, the different ingredients may be, inferred. We do not ascribe any immediate importance to these po pular expressions of sentiment. ; wo consider them only valuable as harbingers of an inevitable, an ultimate, and a permanent demonstration: we regard them as efficacious in disseminating those doctrines of liberality and enlightenment with which the commercial and political, and even social world, must henceforth be governed ; we estimate them as of exceeding import ance inasmuch as they are indications of that earnest co-operation on the part of the multitude, without which the admirable policy of the Premier can exer cise but a portion 'of its generous and benign in fluence. Any additions to the number of free traders in the Lower House is but of secondary interest at this juncture : the necessity of a general election w:thin a very short period from the present time—possi bly within two montht,—rendering the advocates of the proposed measures almost indifferent to the result of mere individual struggles. The necessity of a general election to which we make this reference, is, of course, contingent upon the perseverance of what Sir CHARLES NAPIER almost christened the " turnip .headed " Pres-tee ' tionists in appealing to the sense of the country before such measures be passed into a decree. It is not our in tention to comment upon this preposterous scheme of the non-suited agriculturists ; it is not our intention to stigmatise it as an alternative which must, if resorted to, prove a most pernicious precedent —en alternative diametrically opposed to the principles of our legislation. The naked proposition is itself, like the tatterdemalion regiment of FALSTAFF—" a troop of impotency"—their lank forms as urifleshed and as harmless as their "swords of lath and daggers of shaving." Never did a class testify such mad incufficency—such monstrous aptitude fur the ridiculous ; its leaders have placed themselved in a situation of the most unenviable absurdity. They behold their stronghold Monopoly about to be committed to destruction, its innermost re cesses undermined, the train laid down, the fusee lighted ; and now, in the very frenzy of their disappointment, they become little less than de lirious—they insist upon themselves descending into the excavations —they furiously demand the power of seating themselves upon the barrels of gunpowder before those combustibles are ignited. This, in sober reality, is the sum total of their cry for an appeal to the sense of the populace ; they are enraged at their exclu sive system being exploded ; they will not remain con tented until they themselves are also " blown up " most thoroughly. In these diseased sentiments originates the expectation of a general election ; and from that dull and stolid pertinacity which is peculiar only to Pigs and Protectionists, and to which the latter have recently ex hibited their affection, there is but a very trivial probability of the abolition principles being passed through both Houses of Parliament until they have been formally submitted to the voice of the great political under-current—the people. It is from a conviction of this circumstance that sundry con stituencies, such for example as the constituency of Chichester, have reserved their enthusiasm for the oncoming outburst of the nation ; and in this manner some two or three proteges of the landlord clique have found an opportunity of sneaking through the lobby of St. Stephen's, and seating themselves (right worshipful and right worthy associates) cheek-by-jowl with such scape-grace unfortunates as the Member for Bristol, or the Member for Oxford. In some instances, however, - the earnestness of the electors in ap proving Sir ROBERT'S very startling behaviour, has exceeded Weir carelt ssness of a mere momentary victor ; they have given their opponents a slight flavour of the unpalateable draught which they are con. coning fur themselves, and with which—so sure as they clamber up the various hustings—they will be drenched and saturated. Such a bitter fort taste fur these luckless sticklers for the corn-duty, was the return—the proud, the triumphant, and unanimous return— ogeord MeRPETH for the West Riding of Yol kahire. Possibly a few more simi lar demonstrations nculd be ertou e: h to sicken the mal contents of any further repetition of the dose : however, the endeavour is scarcely worth the trouble of making. For, although a dissolution of the present Parlia ment would be, to a certain limit, detrimental to the , interests of our poorer countrymen, by delaying the settlement of the question under discussion, the sub sequent success of the free traders —a success of which no sane person can entertain the merest scintilla of a doubt—will be trebly glorious; it will impart to the Act in which those principles will be embodied a wonderful and indefinable charm—it will be gold purified through an ordeal of fire. Of that description of careless com-ti tuency which we have already particularised—careless of its own quiescent -but Herculean strength, and indifferent to the ephemeral triumph of its antagonists— Gloucestershire promises to afford another specimen ; tor, although the Hon. F. CHARTERIS, the young Mem ber who recently resigned his seat as the representative of that county, from the late alteration in his opinions, and upon whom the Prime Minister uttered, the other evening, such a fervent panegyric--although, we say, the Ilon. F. CHARTERIS would be unanimously elected for that identical division, the Liberal party are re serving their vigour until the arrival of the great struggle which is foreseen—and the Marquis of WORCESTER, the heir to the BEAUFOkT possessions, will in all likelihood be permitted, according to the cant phrase, to " walk over the course." Dorsetshire, in like manner, is partially abandoned by Lord .ARECLEY ; the Noble Lord doubtless awaiting the fitter and the loftier opportunity. Thus again Rutland was for the present contemptuously left to the private and obscure nomination and the private and obscure election of a certain Mr. GEORGE FINCH, a humdrum small-talker in .favour of " protection to I British agriculture." Captain HOWARD VYSE likewise offers him-elf as candito for South Northampton shire amidst the silence and indifference of the mass. surance. We have intelligence from Madrid to the 11th inst. The Chamber of Deputies met on that day, when me royal ordonnances were laid before them— one accepting the resignation' of General NARVAEZ as Minister of Warp and the other appointing General RONCALI to his post. The President of the Chau.ber then announced that, a the new Ministry was not completed, he would adjourn the sitting, which accordingly took place. Communica -dons have since been received at Paris, which announce the formation of a new Cabinet. The following are the latest particulars :—The Marquis DE MIRAFLORES is appointed President of the Council and Mi nister of Foreign Affairs ; General RONCALI, Mi nister of War ; M. ISTURITZ, Minister of the Interior ; M. TOPETE, Minister of the Marine ; the Mi.rquis DE CASA RIERA, Minister of Finances. The Minister of Justice is not yet named. Tne Mar quis DE MIRAFLORES was Ambassador at London and Paris at the signing of the quadruple alliance. General ltoNcam was the defender of General LEON before the court-martial which condemned him to death. 1%1. ISTURITZ was President of the Council at the time of the revolution at La Granja. M. TOPETE is one of the members of the Supreme Tribunal of War and the Marine, and is reckoned one of the hest officers of the Spanish navy. The Marquis M. DE CASA RIERA is one of the richest bankers of Spain. He has never been tried as a statesman, but all men do homage to his probity and independence of character. He is at this moment in Paris. The QUEEN had charged General NARVAEZ to form a new Cabinet. He em ployed the 10th and 11th inst. in executing his mi. - sion. lle applied to several senators and various Members of Congress, and particularly the Marquis DE bIIRAFLORES and M. ISTUaITZ, the chief of the. Opposition, formerly President of the Council; but he everywhere met with such difficulties as be found im possible to surmount. The QUEEN then summoned the Marquis DE MIRAFLORES and General RONCALL They undertook, it is said, to-form a Ministry, in which none of the old Ministers should be included. The other intelligence from Madrid is not important. Considerable anxiety, however, prevails as to the real cause of a change of Ministry, and the object of NARVAEZ in giving up his place as ,Minister of War. The Funds were depressed in consequence, the Three per Cents. closing at 31 for cash, at 31i at 60 days, and the Five per Cents. at 231 at 60 days. The Paris papers are chiefly occupied with the debate in the English House of Commons and the change of Ministry in Spain. They give rather long extracts from the speeches, with running comments, possibly amusing to ,Frenchmen, but of little interest to the English reader. We give a few remarks from the Con stitutionnel as a specimen :—" It is impossible to imagine anything more pitiable than the arguments used by the agriculturists. One predicts, as a consequence of. the repeal of the corn-law, the loss of Canals, the Antille , ', and, in the end, Hindostan. Another represents Russia. including even. Siberia, as covering herself with bread corn in order to inundate Great Britain, who will have nothing more to pay for it than the cost of the transport. A third, in order to prove the necessity of the corn law, occupies whole hours in gravely reading petitions which the manufacturers of France, England, or America, may have addressed to their respective Governments in sup port of their claims to protective duties. All these fine speeches resemble each other, and it is very rarely that any partisan of the :Niinistry condescends to rise and lettuce theie iecohereeces to their real value. Thus the debates drag on to a tedicus length, without any interest to the public, or exciting in the House of Commons anything more than the petty personal ques tions which the intestine war of the Tory party gives ground for at every moment." The Ministerial crisis in Spain appears to be as much a mysteryt aria as here. The 1t thus adverts to it :—/ 41 i / " A vsry iinexpects piece of news bad tcea from .' Spain. Narvaez has given in his resignation, his colleague have followed his example, and the Queen appears to have consented without difficulty to the dissolution of this Ministry. It is added that she has charged General Roncali and M. Mi raflores to form a Cabinet. What is there under all this? We cannot say, and we have not the slightest curiosity to know. We have seen this pillaging, sanguinary counter-revolution Cabinet attack the Constitution and trample it under foot; claim and obtain arbitrary power; exercise for a length of time the most atrocious acts of violence; condemn to death without trial; imagine conspiracies in order to get rid of troublesome opponents; proscabe, as the fancy seiz ad it; confiscate when it pleased ; destroy municipalities and the national guard ; suppress the jury, arrest journalists, and keep them for months under the menace of transportation ; give up the whole of Spain to pillage; substitute the edge of the sword for law; and this Cabinet, thus sullied with so many political crimes, we have beheld honoured with the good graces of the Queen. An intrigue at present trips the Government up, and smites it tothe ground !Noble spectacle! Great morality of the Monarchy ! How hottest it renders society! how happy the populations! how glorious the na tion! Haw lofty and resplendent Spain is under the conduct of the wid.rsv and daughter of Ferdinand!" It appears from some of the journals, that the great victory obtained by the Anti-Corn-law League in this country has caused great excitement in the south of France, where monopoly does so much injury, and that a scheme has been proposed for establishing a Free-Trade Association. We suspect, however, that the laws of France, as well as the well-known sentiments of the Court, will effectually obstruct delaying such plane. These associations are not of much use without public meetings, and these the Court and Cabinet might think dangerous. The Courrier Francais, we believe, takes a correct view of the question:— "Meetings have been held at Bordeaux with the intent of establishing a Free-Trade Association. A young man of talent, M. Bastia, who has been the first to make France acquainted with the organisation and labours of the Engiish League, has communicated to these meetings a plan fur an anti-protectionist league, which several journals have quoted. The ideas elicited by M. Bastia have had already numerous adherents, and we hope they will be still more widely adopted. ' It must not, however, be disguised that a Free. Trade League will meet in this country an almost insur mountable obstacle at the threshold. What, in fact, has been its great menus of action in England ? Agitation by meetings—conversion of the masses of the people to free trade principles by freedom of speech. But do we possess this right of agitsuing the masses by freedom of speech, by disseminating among collected bodies of the people the grand and pacific lessons of liberty ? No, we are not free to speak. We are scarcely free to write. The English monopolisers have indeed been guilty of one grave and irreparable act of oblivion, the; have forgotten to gag those upon whom they prey. Ours have been more provident, they have deprived us of-even the means of complaining. It may be *aid, perhaps, what does this signify? If the law takes front us the means of enlightening the masses upon whom this de plorable system of protection weighs so heavily, we may it will be said eo without them, and convert the higher classes of society, the .landholders, the great manufacturers. the owners of forests, &c. ; hi a word, convert the privileged men themselves. Can it be believed, however, that this is an easy task ;,- Can it, we maw rather say, be believed pos sible? Win re would. the Anti-torn-law League be now, it it. had only Ow dais of landlords to act upon? Can it be be lieved that it would have met with numerous adherents, and collected eumiant subscriptions from this privileged class? No doubt it his ended in converting the most enlightened men of the aristocratic party. But let it be well observed, that these conversions have been extremely tardy; they may be said to have been made in extremis, when it - became evi dent to the clear-sighted (we do not talk of the blind) that .the idea of freedun was stengthened in the country, when it became visible to all eves that a longer resistance to the in vasion of this idea could only end in a catastrophe." Beu-Achache, Ambassador; of the; King of Morocco, has left Paris, with all his suite. His baggage was taken to the Orleans railway, where the Ambassador found a diligence prepared expressly for the accommodation. Tee Gazette de France says :—" The break up of the Left. and the Left Centre is so complete, that M. Thiers, it is reported, is aboutto accept an embassy." - The French Funds were very firm on Tuesday.

THE ILtGuE, FEB. 13.—The section of the second Cham ber was engaged yesterday in examining the following pro jects of law :-Ist, relative to ships under the Russian flag ; 2d, to the extraordinary grant to the Benevolent Society ; `ld, to the indemnification for the military inundations. 'to day the section has been engaged in examining the pro jects of law relative to the criminal code. The official journal publishes a royal decree of the 14th of this month for the calling in and exchanging of ducatoons, and the nieces of 2 florins, as well as the subdivisions of this coin. The decree is followed by a resolution of the Minister of Finance, dated the 15th February, announcing that an office at the Bank of the Netherlands will be open .from the 3d to the ith of March, to receive these pieces, and to give in exchange other kinds of coins now current. The First Chamber of the States General met yesterday (the 16th) to recommence its sitting, but there not being a sufficient number of Members present, no business could be done. Wansaw, FEB. B.—Count Nesselrode arrived here yes terday, on his return from Italy. The Government of Warsaw publieled the following notice on the sth inst. : " On account of the prices of all kinds of corn in the kinz dom, and which assures satisfactory profit to the landowner, and in the apprehension that the exportation of corn may increase the distress of the inhabitants, caused by the failure of the crops in 1845, the Council of Administration has re solved that the exportation of the following articles shall be prohibited till the Ist of July, 1846, viz. :—Rye, barley, flour, Muck-wheat, pease, oats, potatos, hay, and straw, along the whole frontier line of the kingdom of Poland, on the one side, erd of Prussia, Cracow, and Austria, on the other side; and the importations of the same articles into the kingdom shall be allowed free of duty." iIItUSSEI,s, FEB. 16.—The Chamber commenced to-day the discussion of the budget of the Department of Justice. The first seven chapters were adopted, without any important &trite. Two important reductions proposed by the Centre! Section, were not adopted. M. suctions, opened the discussio of the Bth chapter, containing the sums alloted to religious w , rship. He complained of the increase of certain beim:, and was answered by the Minister. To-day there was a !mincil of Ministers, at which the project of law en secon dary instruction was discussed. The Council will meet age'' , tn-morrow to take a final resolution. We hear that from the month of April next all th.. steamers with mails from the continent, and which now de- D'art from London, will take their departure from the port of Harwich, which will shorten by four or five hours the voyage :o end from Antwerp, Rotterdam, and Hambnrgh.

The following has been picked up on the French coast, and been forwarded to Lloyd's, by the French Consul : " Jtalr 27, 1845.—Brig Bravo, of London, from Ham bound to Jamaica, lat. 46 15 N., lon. 9 15 W. My object for trying this experiment is with the hope I may some dz:y learn when it is picked up. For the past tw , . days I have bad the wind varying from N.W. to W., squally weather; have found tremendous strong currcnts— in fact, similar to those in . the Cut of Gibraltar. This »igbt, at 12h. P.m., to 12h. 30m., we passed through a cur rent just like a race. By observations both for lat. and chronometer, I have found myself difkr thirty miles each day, so that will account fhr the past two drys. I have often been told of the existence of a N.W. current, and which is stated in the' Chart,' and Directory.' I have found it going to the S.E. • " Whoever picks this up, I hope will duly report it.

Carter, at the Bricklayers' Arms Tavern, Southampton-street, Camberwell, as to the deaths of Mr. P. lloreau, and H. and W. Horeau, his sons, murdered by him on Monday morning, previous to his own suicide. The three bodies were lying aide by side, on. a mattress in the room where the dreadful acts were com mitted. The father and eldeet son presented a ghastly spec tacle, from the tremendous wounds on the threats, while the infant seemed but in a sleep. Mrs. W. A. C. Horeau, the widow, produced the folloWing . letter which she found in her husband's pocket-hook after his death. It was addressed "Mrs. Smith, 2, Duke's-court, Bow-street, London," but had no date My dear Eliza—l gratefully thank you for what you have done for me and my poor family. When my little ones are grown up, explain to them that the sight of their suffering was too much for me. Perhaps when you go the long journey whence no traveller returns, my family may do something for them, as they have done for poor Jules (another son who went abroad), who perhaps is no more alive by this time. As for you, my good girl, prosper in life as you de serve, is the most earnest wish of Piet.." After the produc tion of some further evidence, the jury returned the following verdict :—" We find a verdict of evilfhtinurder against Philaret Horeau, as regards the death of Helvetius and Wm. Horeau, and we find that the said I'hilaret Horeau destroyed himself while in a state of temporary insanity, produced by extreme privet ien and want." The inquiry lasted nearly six houre, and the room was much crowded. MORE RAILWAY DISTURDANCES.—The lehenrers em ployed on the Kendal and Windermere Railway, following the example of the labourers on the Lancaster and Carlisle line, at Penrith, mustered together on Saturday for the pur pose of expelling six Irishmen from the works.
