Orders received by all News-agents, and at Tie Sun Office, 112, Strand. intirtilii A !7')111t4 LONDON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 30, 1846. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat upon the Woolsack at 14kiTC The Toll-bars (Scotland) Bill was read a second time. The Duke of RICHMOND, in presenting several peti tions in favour of protection to domestic industry, stated, that he and they entirely dissented from the Ministerial proposition with regard to com mercial policy, and that he considered the scheme as unjust and uncalled for, and that he denied the truth of the assertions on which the plan was based. It was perfectly ridiculous to talk of this as a compro- mise. It was no compromise at all ; and, besides, he was averse to all compromise. They ought to have stated what would be the price of corn under the system before they talked of compromise. The farmers felt they had been illtreated, and it would be dangerous to pass the measure in opposition to their wishes. He hoped their Lordships would throw out the Bill, and force the Minister to appeal to the country. He had no fear of the results, notwithstanding the bribery of the Anti-Corn-law League ; but he, Lord KINNAIRD, as a Member of the Anti- Corn-law League, denied that they had bribed. He would not hold himself responsible for all the language that had been held by them, and be thought the Noble Duke would scarcely hold himself responsible for all the language made use of at Pro tection Societies. The Duke of RICHMOND would hold himself re sponsible for the language used at Protection Societies. Lord KINNAIRD congratulated the Noble Duke. He therefore held himself responsible for the gentleman who had compared a Member of the other House to Satan, and for the burning of the Times newspaper at a protection meeting. The League had not bribed— they had merely enabled persons to obtain the franchise according to law. The Noble Duke, in advocating an im mediate appeal to the people on every great question, was merely advocating Chartist doctrines, and if he were to succeed, he would merely give rise to an agitation for a further reform in Parliament. After a few words from the Duke of BucxmoHem, Lord BROUGHA3I wished to ask, with regard to Ore gon, if it were true that on a globe published under au thority, the American boundary had been drawn as laid down by the American Government? ' , '4K--tei The Earl of ABERDEEN thought his Noble Friend al luded to some prior transaction. He had no objection to lay before the House the instructions under which the party had acted. Earl GREY said t'.-at with regard to the proposals for the reform of our commercial policy, if they were to be opposed, he thought it would be better to meet - them by a resolution in favour of protection. He ap proved of the principle of the measure, but should have preferred a repeal of the corn-laws at once. The three years' duty was producing a state of indecision. and was a mere mockery, continuing the uncertainty and agitation which was the great evil of the present state of things. The real security of the landed interest consisted in granting leases ; and anything that pre vented this rendered that interest insecure. So low was the stock of corn in foreign countries, that any al teration now would be attended with little effect ; but these three years delay would dam up the current of exportation from abroad for three years, and at the end of that time would let in a flood of foreign corn, to the detriment of all parties. He trusted that their Lordships would prevent this part of the measure from passing. With regard to the mea sures of compensation, although some of theta were just in themselves, to talk of them as compensation was delu sive. The only real compensation would be to esta blish the principle of free trade completely in every thing as well as corn. If they were to sell cheap corn, they ought to buy cheap coffee, cheap timber, and cheap everything else, If the home producer would support cheap competition why could not the colonial producer, He trusted that if the experiment were tried as regarded landowners it would be carried out as regarded others, to the great benefit equally of the Treasury and the con sumer. He was sorry too to see that the fallacy which he had thought utterly exploded of making a distinction. between free and slave labour sugar, that most absurd of all fallacies, was still to he maintained. He had always felt deeply attached to the principles of free trade, and from the moment of his entrance into public life he had denounced the principles of protection as, from first to last, a mistake ; that the principles of free trade w, jre principles of common sense, and the sooner they w are adopted into our Legislature the better. Lord ASHBURTON feared that neither the Government nor the House would ever be able to carry out the prcoa• ciples of free trade, as advocated by the Noble Earl, ita country placed in such a complicated position as this country was placed in, owing to the great burdens whi ch were borne by this country. It was impossible that the British farmer could meet the foreigner upon equal tern is; and all the authorities upon this subject, such as Hr. HUSHISSON, Mr. RICARDO, and others, admitted that the British farmer was entitled to compensation on accot tnt of his peculiar burdens. As long as they bad the debt in the state in which it was, and as long n foreign countries continued in their present state, it veal, perfectly Utopian to hope to establish a system of free trade. The Noble Lord then complained of the conduct of the League in opening a shop in every town in the kingdom, for the pus . - pose of providing what he termed fictitious votes. He thought it the duty of the Government to provi (if some remedy for this evil. Lord MONTEAGLE denied that the revenue duties we re , obstacles to the freedom of trade. His Noble Friend had, in the most strange manner, confounded revenue duties—which were no obstacles to freedom of trade-- with protective duties, which were obstacles to the frc e dom of trale. For instance, neither the tea nor tobaceo duties were obstacles to the freedom of trade. Few men had been consistent on the principle of free trade ; but with one exception, all public men bad advanced towards; free trade. When the burdens of the country were greater than they were now, the petition of the met`. chants of London had, in 1815, laid down the broaal. principle of free trade, and had been supported by the highest authority in both Houses or Parliament. If our burdens were great, that was a, reason for leaving industry unfettered. With regard to, the clelayof three years in the repeal of the corn-laws he, considered it would be prejudicial to those for whose ad vantage it was intended, bat he accepted the measure as a whole as the greatest step that had yet been made itt regard to free trade. Lord ASHBURTON explained. The Duke of RICHMOND complained that the farmer was obliged to employ more men than he wanted. If he was to be forced to sell cheap bread, he should bo secured cheap labour. If they had cheap bread, why should; they not have cheap beer? It would be better to repeal the malt tax than the brandy duties. He was for pro— tection to all classes, and he hoped the farmers would not enter into a compact with the League. He thought that if they were to have free trade, it would bebetter to have it at once. Protection had ever existed in this country, and all the farmers wanted was fair play. The Earl of DALHOUsrichthehe proposednrosetos shouldubmitt b to their Lordships the plan which y ad ea o rpetedthile'seith Br....einigardhadto r b a ce ll n way few ßi i l n ls. numlnberfo,rmbuert SUN, LONDON FRIDAY MORNI L' G, JANUARY 30, 1816. during the present year there had been deposited 818 plans of projects in the Board of Trade, and there now stood for the consideration:of the House 687 Bills. There could be no doubt but that the number of railway Bills to be considered during this session would be so great as to render it impossible to find Committees to consider these Acts. The capital required for these I3ills amounted to 370,000,0001. of money. Now, this sum would not be all required, because many were compo. ting schemes ; but making every deduction, not a less sum would be applied for than 100,000,0001. Last year they had authorised 118 Bills, requiring 56,000,0001. ; the previous years 46 Bills, requiring 14,000,0001; making a demand; of 70,000,0001. in three years ; thus making an average call during the next three years of 20,000,0001.; and the lowest estimate of the amount required during the next year would be 100,000,0001. It was necessary for Parliament to con • sider whether the diversion of this enormous amount of capital to railway enterprise must not be detrimental t(' the interests of the country, and whether some limitation ought not to be placed upon it ? Already had the price of labour and materials been en hanced to an inconvenient degree. Neither was it for the interest of railway enterprise itself to permit this state of things to continue. It had been said that the evil would provide its own remedy ; but still Parliament ought not to invest companies with great powers, to Let p them suspended over the heads of parties intere-ted, and to permit them to indulge in reckless exi en diture. On these grounds, he thought it right that some limitation should be placed on these schemes. He thought the Executive Government was right in not taking upon itself the responsibility of not placing it check upon these schemes. It was for Parliament. to decide on the subject; Government had applied their at tention to it, and had made preparation to lay before Parliament all the necessary information. It would be useless and unprofiitable to lay that information on the table for discussion before the House, and the Govern ment thought it the more useful plan to refer the matter to a Select Committee, and he therefore begged to move for the appointment of a Committee for the purpose. Lord BROUGHAM, when called upon to increase the grants of money for railroads from ,20,600,000/. a 3 ear to 53,000,0001. a year, said it became Parliament to pause and inquire before they consented to such a grant. He would suggest some alteration in the matinee of conducting the Private Bill business, in order to secure a proper consideration of these Bills. He would never wish to take from the privileges of the House, but Parliamentary Committees were the worst tribunals to sit judicially and decide upon the disposal of millions of property, and he trusted that some more satisfactory tribunal might be established. Lord KINNAIRD trusted the Noble and Learned Lord would bring forward some measure to remedy this evil, which was undoubtedly a great one. The Noble Lord gave notice that on Monday he should move for a re turn of fees paid to this House on introducing railway Bills, and also on petitions. In one case he knew the costs of opposing a Bill had been 8001., and out of that sum 300. had been paid in fact to the officers of that House. Lord ASHBURTON supported the motion for the ap pointment of the Committee, and agreed that it was ne cessary to put some limitation on railway speculation. He was inclined to refer the prosperity of the last three years and the increased employment:given to the labour ing classes, to the increased expenditure consequent upon the formation of railways rather than to the relaxation of the protective duties. A NOBLE LORD suggested that it was important that the report of this Committee should be presented at the earliest possible period, in order to prevent the pay ment of deposits on those Bills which were reported against. On the other hand, they would do great injus tice, if they did not give the subject due consideration. There should be laid down some principle on which these were to be considered. There were great diffi culties attending the subject. It would have been better to have applied some check at an earlier date. and thus have prevented an useless expenditure of money. Earl GREY hoped they were not to be considered V. pledging themselves to the novel principle of limiting the amount of capital to be invested in enterprise. Parlia ment: ought to consider if parties had sufficient capital— if the object in view was for the public good—if it unjustly interfered with private interests. Parliament was stepping beyond its functions if it attempted to decide bow much capital should be withdrawn from other enterprises to be invested in railways. Individuals were the best judges of that point. They would be committing great injustice, if, upon a hasty and superficial examination, they took upon themselves to determine which df the railway schemes should be proceeded with, and which not. He would suggest, that instead of having two Committees of the two Houses, it might not be possible to have one joint Committee of both Houses. Lord ASHBURTON considered it almost impossible to ascertain whether the companies possessed sufficient capital or not. Lord MONTEAGLE considered it was impossible for their Lordships to discharge their functions with credit or satisfaction, so long as the House of Commons in sisted on treating railway bills as money bills. He hoped, in order to afford due consideration to Irish railway measures, the House of Commons would consent to an equal division of the consideration of railway Bills. Lord REDESDALE believed that it was impracticable for Parliament to deal with 600 Bills in one session, and therefore it was necessary to make some alteration in the existing system. The Earl of DALHOUSIE then nominated the Corn mittee. Lord BnounnAM proposed that it should be a Com mittee of secrecy. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH thought there was no danger of the proceedings of the Committee becomirg known. The motion was then agreed to, and their Lordships adjoured till Monday. The House of Commons met at Four o'clock. Petitions were presented for various railway Bills. Mr. BRIGHT gave notice that, on Monday next, he would move the re-appointment of the Committee on the gamQ-lawp. On the motion of Sir ROBERT PEEL it was agreed that the House at its rising should adjourn to Monday next, after a short discussion. In answer to a question from Mr. T. DUNCOMBE, Sir JAMES GRAHAM stated that it was the intention of the Secretary-at-War, at an early period of the session, to introduce a Bill for the amendment and consolidation of the Militia Act. In answer to a question from Mr. BRIGHT, as to when the militia would be called out, Sir J. GRAHAM stated that, under the present law, it was competent for the Government to call out themilitia at a fortnight's notice. Sir R. PEEL, in answer to a question from Lord JonN RUSSELL, said he had no objection to lay on the table the papers with respect to the hostilities in Rio de la Plata, as far as they had reference to the grounds on which France and England had united on this question, but the papers relating to the atrocities committed he must at present decline producing. Lord J. RUSSELL, in answer to a question from Mr. B. ESCOTT, stated that he had not yet determined whether he should, during the present session, again bring in the Ecclesiastical Courts Bill. Mr. HASTIE, on the part of the bankers of London, complained of their being compelled by the standing orders to pay the money they received for railway de posits into the Bank of England in the name of the Accountant-General of the Court of Chancery. lie thought there ought to be some relaxation of the stand ing orders in this respect, as the greatest confusion would prevail. He believed that all purposes would be answered by paying the money into the Bank of Eng land and sufficient protection afforded to all bond fide railways. He would make a motion on the subject on a future day. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the deposits, when paid in to the name of the Accountant- General, were as available for the purpose of trade as if paid into the Bank in any other way. All that was required to get it out was the order of the Court of Chancery. Mr. P. M. STEWART said that the money that was paid into the Bank of England in the name of the Accountant-General was froze up and totally unavailable for the purposes of trade. As to obtaining an order in Chancery, that, as was well known, was the work of tim • . Sometimes such a document was not obtained for twenty years. Mr. HUDSON thought that the whole difficulty would be got over by the transfer of India Bonds, or Consols, or Exchequer-bills, instead of cash being required to be paid into the Bank. Mr. MUNTZ could not see what objection the Govern ment had to receive their own Exchequer-bills. Sir R. PEEL trusted the House would not interfere in this matter, as he felt convinced that the spirit of im proper speculation would never be put an end to unless the public sustained some inconvenience. After a few observations from Mr. F. BARING the sub ject dropped. On the motion of Sir C. NAPIER, a Committee was :appointed to inquire into the manner in which the Poor ;law Couituiesionero hwro ex,erci4ed the powers for the establishment of district asylums for the houseless poor in the metropolis, confided to them by the statute of the 7th and Bth of Victoria, c. 101 ; and also to invite 11110 the effects of any asylums supported by voluntary sub scriptions which may have been formed for the same purpose ; also (pursuant to previous notice) a Select Committee to investigate the subject. Lord ASIILET moved for leave to bring 'in a Bill to reduce the hours of working of young persons in fac tories to ten hours in the day. Two years had elapsed since he brought the subject before the House ; but events had since taken place that illustrated the truth of those principles he had then propounded ; and the question was now narrowed to this—Would his proposition be carried into effect without i!,jury to trade or detriment to the sages of the labourer. The Noble Lord then went at considerable length into what had taken place during the last year in the manufac turing districts, fur the purpose of showing that the shortening of the time of labour had been attended a ith no injury to trade, while it improved the a ages and the physical condition of the labourers and their children. Their physical and mental condition had been so improved, that they did not appear to be the same race of human beings. He alluded to these statements with great satisfaction, be cause they gave him great hopes for the future. Great benefit had also been effected in the manufac turing districts from the half-holiday system. Among all these improve meats, none had been effected with respect to children whose ages varied from thirteen to eighteen, they were still calls/ upon to work twelve hours out of the twenty-four. He thought the House would admit that this was a subject well worthy of its con sideration, and that was the great object he had in view. Without the House adopted some such measure as that he proposed, he was sure the manufacturing labourers would never desist in their perseverance to obtain it. It was the tenth time he had brought this subject before the House, and he trusted it would be the last. It was honourable to the operatives of this country, that, endea vouring to procure justice, they had never used the words of menace, or a vindictive expression. The Noble Loid concluded by moving for leave to bring in the Bill. Sir J. Gnanasr, on the part of the Government, would not, on the present occasion, offer any opposition to the Bill. In his opinion, however, what bad passed aine Q 1844 siloWEd that there was no necessity at the present time for legislative interference between the em ployer and the employed. He thought the Noble Lori was entitled to great merit for the arrangement that had already taken place ; but he thought that some thanks were due also to the Government. By these measures no man could work in a colliery, linen, silk, or flax manufactory more than twelve hours in the day. He admitted the magnitude of the subject, and its importance to the parties interested particularly; but the pubic must also be considered. He thought the proper course would be to postpone the opinion of the House upon this subject until a decision had been come to on the question brought forward by his Right Hon. Friend at the head of the Government on the subject of corn. Sir J. STRICELAND thought the operatives themselves would be satisfied with an Eleven Hours' Bill; and if such was the case, it would be unwise, at the present moment, to interfere between _the employer and the employed. Mr. TRELAWNEY thought the BM would be of no good ; that it was, in fact, a me..tsure to rob Peter to pay Paul. Lord J. MANNERS approved of the measure. Mr. Hum: objected to the measure. He believed that all the arguments of the Noble Lord could be easily met and answered. He considered the course proposed to be adopted by the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of the Home Department was the correct one. Mr. B. ESCOTT believed that many hundreds of opera- tires had been ruined by the measures of the Noble Lord, and he should be able to prove that, when the proper time came for discussing the Bill. He believed the Noble Lord was rraintaing a mistaking philanthropy. Mr. COLQUJIOUN believed the Noble Lord was correct, and trusted that he would persevere in his honousable and humane course. After some observations from Mr. ROEBUCK, Mr. BRIGHT, Mr. FIELDEN, Mr. WAKLEY, and several other Hon. Members, leave was given to bring in the Bill. The remaining orders of the day bei.ig disposed of, the House adjourned at Half-past Ten to'Clock till Monday. On referring to the new tariff proposed by Sir ROBERT PEEL, we are only more confirmed in the opinion that it is highly satisfactory, and that it will be received most favourably throughout the country. It is of a compre hensive character ; it will afford relief to many classes, and perhaps most of all to those who gain their liveli hood by daily labour—a class, unfortunately, in former times neglected or forgotten by our aristocratic legisla. tors. As an act of justice, as well as of political policy, it therefore recommends itself to all those who prefer fair play to selfish interests, who wish to see peace and good order, and loyalty maintained by liberal institu tions and wise legislation, rather than by the musket and the bayonet, and those barbarous and despotic laws so much admired by the SIDMOUTIIS and ELDONS. The people of this country are the very last in the world to rise against their SOVEREIGN, or even resist the authority of the Executive, and seldom or never have recourse to illegal proceedings unless when driven to them by acts of oppression or the most glaring injustice. The middle classes, unlike those of a neigh bouring country, do not spend their time in billiard rooms, and in sauntering idly on the public promenades; they do not, for want of better employment, hatch plots and devise schemes of war; they are constantly engaged in some active employments for bettering their condition, or raising themselves a step in the ranks of society. And as for the hard-working population, they are unequalled by those of any country in the world. They will perform twice as much work as the same class in France in the same time, and no men are more thankful for getting employment. It is the paramount duty, therefore, of a Minister to attend to the interests of such a class, and if he will not, or cannot grant them electoral privileges like the rest of the community, he is bound by his sacred trust, as well as by the necessity of secur ing peace throughout the country, to show that their rights are not forgotten by the Legislature. In this respect, therefore, the tariff is eminently judicious and impartial. A vast proportion of those articles which are to be admitted duty free at once, or at the end of three years, are necessaries of the first importantie to the great body of the people. Should the tariff not be obstructed by the House of Peers (and no man who wishes to see that body respected will desire such a result), some ten or twelve articles of consumption will be admitted without the payment of any duty whatever. Among these may be mentioned live cattle, Indian corn, rice, bacon, beef, potatoes, pork (fresh or salted), vegetables, cotton manufactures (not being articles wholly or in part made up), linen manufactures, woollens, &c. But, in addition to these, the duty on a large number is to be greatly reduced, on many of them one half — such as butter, cheese, candles, hams of all kinds, hats, boots and shoes, soap, and some fifty more, which it is needless to enumerate. In the long list, however, we cannot discover the foreign article to which, in these hard times, a Noble Duke attached so much importance —curry is to be found nowhere in the three lists. That part of the tariff which relates to corn is of more con sequence, perhaps, than all the rest. The impost is ' to last for three years (but whether for the good of :the farmer and landlord is a doubtful question), and then, in the language of Parliament, " cease and determine." In the meantime, however, it is very light, and can make only a very trifling difference in the price of bread, for at the present price of wheat three-fourths of the duty will be at once remitted. All these articles are consumed chiefly by the middle and lower classes, or, speaking more correctly, they form a much larger proportion of the outlay of these classes than the rich, and a fall in price, therefore, cannot fail to afford material relief. But the rich are not forgotten, for the import duties are to be greatly reduced on carriages, silks, brandy and Geneva, mounted canes, crystal, cut or manufactured, lace, perfumery, velvet, and even that Russian delicacy, caviare, is not forgotten. Altogether, the selection has been judiciously made ; and the public cannot justly complain that, as a quit for such material changes, some burdens on land are to be reduced. The landlords would well to accept the offer, and not provoke further in roads upon their exemptions, which are still sufficiently oereerous and large. The money saved by the exemp tion of entailed estates from the legacy duty alone is enormous. Anxiety upon the abstract question and the practical developement of an unrestricted purchase of food being now in a great measure allayed, the attention of both people and Legislature is directed to the alleviation of the distresses arising from the dearth of the potato crop in Ireland. Because the wan and withering evidences of destitution are not visible in our immediate neighbour hood ; because our metropolitan markets are plentifully supplied with vegetables, and because the cries for help are comparatively weakened by the distance of the sup plicants, we are not to moderate our interference under an impression that the calamity does not require such immediate measures of amelioration. No extravagance hes beim resorted to in the rnmonrs which have already er.foreLd the existence of this evil upon the public. It would be absolutely worse than voluntary obtuseness —it would be cruelty to deny the reality of this ter rible ordinittion of PROVIDENCE and the necessity there is for some instant intefferente, whereby its poig nancy may be removed. Far from such piobeedinge beet:Anil - 1g less requisite in proportion as the season ad ietnete, every eticeessiee week tends to increase the scarcity of provisions lie districts already subjected to the privation, and to extend it over thei parishes whit h have hitherto escaped. Statistics have been oft; cially collected, and those only render the actuality of the fact more apparent. Nor is there anything to impede the assistance of Government : an iteportatit surplus in the revenue has accumulated during the past year--=the application of that surplus, or at least a portion of it, is ostensible. The actual necessity of Settee movement being made has indeed become too self-evident for the local authorities or for Parliament itself to treat the matter any longer with indifference - =the channels have already been mapped and dug out, the barren land will be irrigated. On Wednesday, in the course of a stiniewhat animated discussion upon the second reading of the Public Works (Ireland) Bill," this truth was insisted upon in a manner both emphatic and unanimous, So imminent and prevalent did the wants of our fellow• countrymen, in that naturally fruitful island, appear, that the Bill in question was stigmatised, not for its unnecessary character, but for its insufficiency. Instead of expressing gratitude for the sum proffered to their afflicted constituencies, the representatives of Irish interest, in the persons of Mr. O'CONNELL and Sir H. W. BARRON, declared the utter inadequacy of the loan proposed. That loan, being simply fifty thousand pounds, and the estimated number of people unem ployed somewhere about four millions, it was calculated that the share to each individual would be precisely THREEPENCE, and this, be it especially remembered, as a means of obtaining sustenance during three months. With perfect truthfulness, therefore, did the Hon. Mem , leer for Waterford exclaim that this " would be like a drcp of water to the sea l" Nevertheless, we regard the proposition with something like affection, re garding it as the skeleton upon which some more substantial form of relief may be mo defied. It is the germ of a more favourable and equitable generosity; still, to compete at all with the advancement of famine, its germination must be most rapid. This is not a moment for the sticklers about eco nomy to occupy with their theories or their axioms— it is the time for shipping off money or provisions. It is not a moment for ingenious arguments upon a clause that may appear slightly questionable—it is the time for dispatching food to " the needy by the way side." It is nut a moment for the cautious adjustment of some subtle detail—it is the time fur assuaging the pangs of the direst penury. Hence Mr. O'CONNELL acted with the most discriminating justice towards the inhabitants of Ireland when he declared that " he would give his support to the measure under the protest that the Government was not to consider that they were doing all that was necessary for the Irish people in their present melancholy state." Far other wise ; the present must be regarded as merely an instal ment of a much more bountiful amount. Not, however, that we would imply this appropria tion of the public money to be a gratuity or a largesse. As Ireland shares in the pressure of taxation with ourselves she is assuredly, in an hour of emergency, entitled to some pecuniary assistance. The money, therefore, being disbursed in return for manual labour at public works, according to the Act of 1 Vic.. chap. 21, is but a piece of ordinary political distribution. Still it would be fallacious and preposterous to expect that Government would sustain the whole burden of such a casualty: such a supposition would be contrary to all reason. Among the parties adjacent to a scene of des titution like those now visible in so many quarters of our sister island, there are always personages of suffi cient wealth to alleviate the sufferings of their poorer brethren ; and such an alleviation is absolutely incum bent upon them as true Christians and true citizens. If the Ministry have been awaiting some demonstration of this nature to spur them forward in their laudable undertaking, they must by this time he amply satisfied. The Special Sessions Court, con vened in Nobher, county Meath, on Monday last, merits our most decided approval: it was for the purpose of providing employment for the destitute in Morgallion and Lower Slane, in the same county, and was conducted with laudable earnestness. Let the other districts, which are suffering in like manner, imitate these philanthropists of Meath ; let Government vie with them in their exer tions of charity, and the malady will be purged away. Such measures as we have already seen proposed will indeed bring a golden harvest: plenty will come of dearth : " Nox habet suas voluptates ;" and a most beneficent freedom of trade will arise from a murrain among the potatoes. Accounts from Madrid of the 21st leave little doubt that the marriage of the QUEEN with the Count TRAPANI has at last been sanctioned by the Govern ment, and that it will meet with serious opposition from a variety of quarters. NARVAEZ will, however, in his usual vigorous way, soon put down all opponents. Fifty Members met to draw up a remonstrance against the marriage, with a view to get some explanation from the Government; but Ministers declared that they would give no explanation, and NARVAEZ added that if any manifestations should be made in the Cortes on the sub ject, they should be immediately dissolved. It appears this had the desired effect; and all, except a very small number, gave up the project. In the Deputies, on the 21st, Senor AGUAYO . poved an amendment to the para graph in the Address relative to the new system of taxation, condemning the financial plans of Senor Motc. That Minister showed that his plan had been most suc cessful; that the income for the year 1845 amounted to 1,200,000,000 reals (12,000,0000, and covered the expenditure. The amendment was rejected by a majority of 100 to 45. The Funds had declined. On the 21st the Three per Cents. closed at 32i, and the Fives at 23k, both at 60 days. The French Chamber of Deputies have been occupied chiefly for two days in discussions on the abuses which have taken place in the Government department of rail ways, but we find nothing in them that requires any re marks. M. BERRYER is expected to make a speech on the Oregon question, or rather on the policy that France ought to adopt in case of war between England and America, and has given notice of an amendment on the Address to the following effect :—" If peace should be disturbed by the conflict of the pretensions of two great nations, France reserves to herself the privilege of tak ing care that no attack be made on the principles of public law, which protect on the seas the liberty and the dignity of international relations." An interesting, and probably violent, debate will be the consequence. Ac counts had been received from Algiers of the 20th. Ac cording to these the cavalry under General YUSUF had been completely broken up from the fa tigues it had suffered in pursuing AnD-EL KADER, and the General had returned to Algiers. The Moni teur Algerien has an account of the disaster of ti e column under General LEVASSEUR, but it is very meagre as compared with that'which has been already published. According to this statement, the number of men who died on the march was only one hundred and fifty. The Moniteur publishes returns of the duties paid on imports into Frame during the month of December, 1845, which, we trust, may not be without a good effect. These returns show a considerable decrease in the amount of duties collected. Thus, while the customs in England are yearly increasing, those in France, under the restrictive and prohibitive system, are constantly diminishing. As compared with those of 1844, there is a falling off of 1,264,608 f. The re ceipts of the entire year amounted to 151,795,160 f.; they had been, in 1844, 152,114,261 f, and, in 1843, 143,776,723 f. The principal articles of import in 1845 were coffee, 257,135 metrical quintals ; corn, 1,929,317; cotton, 728,731; copper, 96,171; hempen and flaxen yarn, 73,109; cast-iron, 561,153; linseed, 434,060; sesame, 3,174; coal, 21,325,691; olive oil, 300,666; indigo, 21,134; wool, 275,019; nitrate of potash, ,028. 10 nitrate of soda, 48,894; lead, 234,563; • colonial sugar, 1,023;910 ; foreign sugar, 195,913; linens, 31,050; zinc, 137,524, &c. The following article, comparing the constitutional system in France with that of England, appears in the Reforme, and amply illustrates some remarks on the same subject which appeared lately in The Sun :- 1 " Let us avert our eyes from the shameful spectacle offered during the last eight days by our Chambers, and look at that which is passing on the other side of the Channel. There, also, we behold two Chambers, a Ministry, and an Opposi tion, contending not to corrupt and degrade the country more and more, but to devise means of extricating it from the difficulties into which its own constitution and external events have embroiled it. Every time that the annual return of the session leads us to compare our situation with that of our neighbours, we invariably ask turselves how it happens that two institutions, apparently cast in the same mould, pro duce results so widely different? The superficial observer too lightly ascribes the contrast to a difference in the character of the two nations. There is another cause. The English people have themselves framed their institutions and mar vellously adapted them to their character. France received hers ready made, prepared, and modified by royalty. We have only the mask of the representative regime, the framers. of our institutions having carefully suppressed that which constituted their soul and life. It is said, that in England that regime is vivified-by the power of p u bli c opinion. This is true; but how comes it that that opinion, so efficient in Great Britain, is unavailable in France? It. is because that its liberty of action and expansion exists in the former. The English have a right to associate—to meet on the public square, or in a field when the town does not contain a space sufficiently capacious to accommodate tbe meeting. In France twenty persons assembling periodically in a saloon are regarded as conspirators. Young men proceeding to the house of a professor to compliment him are charged by gendarmes as if they were rioters and revolters. Public life is everywhere stifled. The engine for coining is the only thing we have borrowed from the tnglish insti tutiond. Let us , suppose for a moment that what has lately occurred & England was tried in France; and that, to effect the reform of a political or coin- , mercial law, an extensive association:wee organised, hav ing its acknowledged chiefs, its orators, its treasurer, and its budget. Let us suppose that the association had con voked; at Paris and in the provinces, in the great cen tres of population, monster meetings of 20,000 and 30,000 persons, and levied publicly on its adherents a contribution of 7,000,000 f. or 8,000,000 f., with the avowed object of creating agitation and procuring the repeal of the law, or the overthrow of the Cabinet which supported it. Would riot, We ask, all the attorney-generals, the gendarmes, sol diers, and tribunes in the country be called out in such case to prosecute, disperse, imprison, and condemn the delin quents ? The noise f the fusillade and the fracas of re quisitorles would have drowned the voice of the popular orators, and all the courts of justice in the empire, including the Court of Peers, would hasten to save the State by con fiscating first the funds of the association, and afterwards sending its chiefs, leaders, and adherents to rot in the dun geOns of Mont St. Michel and Doullers. In England, the Government sees in these demonstrations of public opinion mere advertisements, of which it knows how to avail itself. It resists as long as it can, but it yields when it considers re sistance likely to prove fatal to it. England thus reformed the rotten boroughs, which France has inherited, and is now preparing to modify the corn legislation." We subjoin some miseeiiioleous extracts from the papers are warranted in The Journdl de la Somme says :—" We stating that the MiiiiStry has rejected the &nand of Prince Louis Napoleon for permission to go to Florence t 0 attend the deathbed of his father, under a pledge that he w‘luld return to prison at the first call. The Council conceived fhb a compliance with the demand was only within the royal prerogative of the King. It remains therefore for his Majesty to decide " The foolish young man, it is said, will not make a direct request to his Majesty. Ibrahim Pacha will leave Vernet-les-Bains on the 4th of next month. He will remain at Perpignan till the Bth, after which he will proceed to Paris by Toulouse, Bordeaux, Nantes, lee. A.letter from Berlin states that the differences of opinion amongst the delegates of the Protestant churches, now as sembled, is great enough to prevent the deliberations from having any result. Some of them are even on the point of quitting Berlin, and returning home before the termination of the deliberations. The Courrier Francais publishes the following intelli gence, without, however, vouching for its authenticity " It was reported to-day, in the diplomatic circles, that the King of Prussia had been obliged by a popular movement to quit Berlin and seek refuge at Potsdam. Nothing precise has yet transpired on the subject, but such an event would not be improbable in the present• agitated state of the public mind, roused to the highest pitch by the religious congrega • tions now assembled in council at Berlin, and by the provincial diets, which were displeased with the reply returned by the King to their reclamations." A letter from Lausanne of the 22d says :—" The state of our unfortunate Canton de Vaud is getting worse every day. The Conservative party in it is completely disorganised and discouraged. When the last communal elections at Lausanne took place, upwards of fifty electors were wanting, for all of them had emigrated to foreign countries. The dismission en masse of the majority of the clergy leaves several of the parishes without public worship and religious education for youth. At the Christmas festivals many of the churches were without the celebration of the Last Supper. In some, the magisters of the villages were appointed by the authori ties to officiate instead of the dismissed priests. In different places the religious services were disturbed by acts of pro fanation, notwithstanding the presence, and, perhaps, in some instances, encouraged by the presence of the gendarmerie."

THE SUN" EXPRESSES. We are indebted to the spirited proprietor of The Sun evening newspaper for a considerable portion of our second edition, which, but for the extraordinary dispatch used on that journal, could not have reached our readers at so early an hour. Our publication of the speech of Sir Robert Peel commenced at twelve o'clock this day (Wednesday).—Essex Herald. We have peculiar satisfaction in laying before our readers this morning an outline of the greater part of the financial exposition made last night in the House of Commons by Sir Robert Peel. It was exactly five o'clock when Sir Robert commenced his address, and our report brings it down to some minutes past eight. We are greatly indebted to the ahem' and spirited proprietor of The Sun for the kind and prompt assistance rendered by him on this occasion. With his accustomed energy and enterprise he had arranged to publish a fourth edition of The Sun, containing the whole of Sir Robert's speech, for the purpose of forwarding it by special train to the manufacturing districts; and we have no doubt that hundreds and thousands, throughout the great northern counties, owing to his exertions, will be in posses sion of the whole of the Ministerial plan regarding this most important national crisis, by seven or eight o'clock this morn ing.--Cambridge Advertiser. NEWSPAPER EXPRESS.—We are deeply indebted to the exertions made by the proprietors of the Daily News and The Sun, for being furnished with the Parliamentary pro ceedings down to Sir Robert Peel's speech of Tuesday even ing. The Daily News arrived here at ten yesterday morn ing, and the The Sun shone forth at 8 A.m.—East* n Counties Herald. Aware of the intense anxiety felt by the public respecting the financial and commercial propositions of Sir 'Robert Peel, last night, in the House of Commons, we have, at a very considerable expense, by the aid of an extraordinary express from the The Sun, for which we are considerably indebted to Air. Wheeler, of Manchester, in conjunction with our own special messengers, prepared an extraordinary edition of the Guardian, which contains a verbatim report of the Premier's comprehensive and momentous announcement. By this effort, scarcely twelve hours will elapse between the delivery of this important speech in Lcndon last night, and its perusal in our own sheet by the public of Preston, the speech of the Right Hon. Baronet having been twice committed to type dining that interval.--Preston Guardian. COURIER OFFICE, WEDNESDAY MORNING, HALF FAST Fount o'cLocx.—The publication of the Courier is delayed a little beyond the usual time this morning for the purpose of awaiting the arrival of the report of Sir Robert Peel's speech, which was delivered at four o'clock yesterday after noon. Our report brings the debate down to half-past eight last night. For this extraordinary expedition we are in debted to the express arranged between Mr. Wheeler, the enterprising and indefatigable news-agent of this town, and The Sun newspaper.—lllanelrester Courier. THE GOVERNMENT MEASURES. —Since the meeting of Parliament the utmost anxiety has been manifested in this town to learn the precise nature of the Government inten tions. On Friday morning, shortly after nine o'clock, a Third Edition of Tire Sun brought the Queen's Speech, and the proceedings in Parliament up till half.-pest eight on the previous evening. The Sun, as might be expected, was con sequently at a great premium. Yesterday, the same paper brought Sir Robert Peel's railway speech on Monday even ing, and the anxiety to see this was equally great, the Cen tral Exchange being crowded with visitants, who seemed quite impatient to learn the Premier's intentions. The opinion throughout the town, so far as we have had oppor tunities of learning it, is that of unqualified satisfaction with Sir Robert and his proposals.—Tyne Mercury. THE SUN.—An express edition of The Sun, containing a report of Sir R. Peel's speech last night, at the length of nearly eight columns, reached Leeds before six o'clock this morning. We are indebted to it for much of our report.— Leeds Mercury. From the Third Edition of The Sun we have a considerable part Of the discussion in both Houses on the Address.—Leeds Intelligencer. (FROM A C , ORRESPONDEXT.), NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, WEDNESDAY.—An Express Edition of The Sun, containing the important speech of Sir Robert Peel, in the House of Commons on Tuesday evening, was re ceived by Mr. Horn, of this town, about ten o'clock this morning, by the usual mail train, and was immediately cir culated in the News-rooms and principal places of public resort, where it excited the most extraordinary interest. About the same time a special engine brought copies of the Daily News, which had published a special edition, which was dispatched from London shortly after twelve o'clock on Tuesday night; but this new competitor for public favour had been in all its mechanical arrange ments anticipated by The Sun, the Daily News, with the ad vantage of three full hours in London, bringing no more than the speech of Sir Robert Peel, which The Sun had accom plished apparently without an effort. The proprietors of one of the local papers, who had been waiting without their breakfast from eight o'clock in the morning, with a coach and four, to take on the News to Edinburgh and Glasgow, had the mortification of witnessing The Sun dispatched from Newcastle northward nearly three-quarters of an hour before their extraordinary ( I) ex press ! The Sun has thus accomplished one of the most surprising feats in newspaper history, and thrown completely into the shade the laborious effort of a morning Contemporary to outstrip its rivals. DEVONPORT INDEPENDENT OFFICE, JAN. 28. We received the copies of The Sun, by mail, at ten o'clock to-day, and, just as we had sold them, a coach and four passed our door with an express from the Daily News, with two persons from the office. They left London by a special train at one o'clock, and reached here at half-past ten—about two hundred miles to Exeter by special train, and forty-five miles from thence to us, with a coach and four and post-horses—in all nine hours and a half from London. They presented papers to most of the leading persons. We could have sold double the number of The Sun if we had had them. They sent out the Daily News from the hotel ; twelve were sent to us. I never saw such anxiety to get paper FREE TRADE INVESTMENT ASSOCIATION.—A public meeting to take into consideration the principles and ad vantages of the society, was held last night at the London Mechanics' Institution. The lecture-room was crowded by a most respectable audience; amongst whom were several ladies. The meeting was addressed by Mr: S. Smith, Mr. G. Thompson, Col. Thompson, and Mr. Gibbs, on the advantages pecuniary and political, which would accrue to all, and especially to the working men who connected themselves with the Society. Mr. Smith, on stating the system on which the affairs would be conducted, said that a man paying in 10s. a month would realise at the end of ten years not 661. merely, the amount paid in by him, but 1201. That sum, however, might be given to the shareholder at the outset, and then, besides 10s., to liquidate the principal he paid 4s. a month for interest. All seemed interested in the details, and in the eloquent speech of those gentlemen who addressed them. At the close several questions were put from the body of the meeting, which shortly after broke up. THE GREAT LEAGUE FUND.—The Manchester sub scriptions to the quarter of a million League fund, which on Friday evening last amounted to 80,5361., have since been augmented by subscriptions amounting to 1.6751. In these are included 4001. from Messrs. Thomas Harrison and Sons, of Stalybridge, and six subscriptions of 1001. each; one of 70/., three of 501., and various smaller sums.
