Moved by Captain Ilxsar PRESCOTT, R.N., C. 8., late Governor of Newfoundland, seconded by JAMES CAVAN, Esq. ; 2.

In the House of Commons the most important feature was the an nouncement made by Lord JOHN RUSSELL, that he will on Monday next state the scheme of the Govern ment with reference to the Sugar Duties. His Lordship figured out his general arrangement of public business, which necessarily led him to allude to several measures which have been kept in a state of suspension, as well in the Lords as in the Com mons, by the recent change of Ministry. But all of these may be hastily dismissed from our minds, to be only hereafter referred to if necessary, since it is now quite manifest, from the course enunciated and de cided on by the Cabinet, that the remainder of the session will be entirely devoted to the consideration of the sugar duties. Neither cantwe be sur,prised that such will be the cue. Looking to the maginitude of the question, the extent of the interests likely to be ! affected, the eagerness with which the public at large expect and covet an alteration that shall place within their reach, cheaply and abundantly, an article, one of the first necessaries of life—looking also to the candid admission of Lord JOHN, that his intended proposition is likely to be keenly opposed, and to the present shattered and disorganised state of parties in the Commons, it is clear from these premises, viewed in connexion with the late period of the session, that the subject which will be broached on Monday next will monopolise the attention of Parliament, to the practical exclusion of legislation, during the present year, upon all other matters, how important soever they may severally be, and undoubtedly are. Still we highly commend the course which the Pre mier has determined on adopting. It is straightfor ward, honest, and consistent. He might have spe ciously pleaded his recent accession to power, the ad vanced state of the session, the great experiment upon the revenue, about to be worked by the change effected in the corn-laws, the desirableness of caution, and such like, as so many grounds for postponing till next year any measure in relation to sugar. But, satisfied of the soundness of the principles he has for years advocated in furtherance of freedom of trade, Lord J. RUSSELL manfully repudiates any timorous or shuffling policy, and resolutely confiding in the good sense of the country, he will, undeterred by the persuasion, perhaps, that he has not a majority in the House of Commons, fearlessly follow in the wake of Sir R. PEEL, and strike down the powerful remaining barrier against the civilising influences of unrestricted commerce. We are quite certain that, in point of principle, Lord JOHN ought to succeed. The arguments used in favour of a repeal of the corn duties tell with equal, nay, greater force, in favour of extinguishing the differential duties on sugar. Should it, however, eventuate that party intrigues, inveterate prejudices, and selfish views, severally unite to defeat the Ministry, we are confident that Lord J. RUSSELL is not the man who would hesitate to appeal to the country, in order to obtain the requisite support to enable him to carry his measure. Sir R. PEEL told the Commons dis tinctly that, had he failed in passing his Corn Bill, he would have recommended the Crown to dissolve the Parliament. Sir R. PEEL would have been fully justified had he been driven to advise such a course, and Lord Joust will not be less so, should cir cumstances dictate its necessity. We hope that in the approaching discussion we shall not be nauseated with any squeamish arguments upon the " morality" of giving a preference to the produce of free over slave-labour sugar. If the distinction be a just ground for preference or prohibition, it should, to be consistent, be carried out to the full, and the result would be that the commerce of England would be annihilated in a year. Cotton, tobacco, coffee, &c., would have to be placed in the same schedule with sugar. The true way to abolish slavery in other countries is by stimulating their in tercourse as much as possible, through the medium of commerce, with civilised nations. The commerce of goods cannot be maintained without a commerce of the mind. This intellectual interchange, by virtue of reason, and not by compulsion, will, in a natural way, lead to the voluntary emancipation of millions of slaves, and ultimately diffuse the blessings of civilisation to the remotest regions of the earth. Thanks to the laudable curiosity of Mr. TnoMAs DUNCOMBE and the agreeable candour of Lord Jouri RUSSELL, all uncertainty as to the abstract principles and the general intentions of the new Government are thoroughly and, we hope, permanently dispelled . We employ the expression " uncertainty" advisedly, because notwithstanding the present Prime Minister had, by a protracted and consistent Parliamentary career, associated his name very conspicuously with the most comprehe naive of all legislative policies, it, nevertheless, became a matter of no inconsiderable dubiousness whether this member of the Cabinet or that member of the Cabinet might not have become infected by that contagion of political tergiversation which has latterly been raging with so much violence. Parties were amalgamated, trodden down, scattered, and metamorphosed ; the whole arena of Parliament had lapsed into the most astonishing confusion ; the elements of Government had fallen • into their primitive chaos ; a system of legislation altogether novel in its character and proportions had to be created out of the debris of its predecessors—and hence we conceive that uncertainty was justifiable in the popular mind, and that inquisitiveness was even laudable in the Hon. Member for Finsbury. Like the phantom lady is Chi;istabei, the scattered condi tion of our representatives (a condition consequent upon the annihilation of all party distinctions), was a catastrophe that " 0, 'twas frightful there to see!" Yet was it not likewise, considering the beneficent results to the development of which it would inevit• ably conduce—was it not like that ghostly heroine of COLERIDGE, " Beautiful exceedingly ?" For these reasons we cannot regard otherwise than with sentiments of exultation, that naïve ex clamation of Mr. DUNCOMBE" Just look at the state of the House now! Nobody knows exactly where to sit." May that indecision as to the existence or the locality of partizanship con tinue; may our Legislators lose all recollection of theoretical partialities, and combine earnestly with each other to work out practical good for the empire ! Dereliction of duties would then become a. phrase to be erased from the political dictionary ; the passion for place-hunting would be forgotten in the passion for ensuring prosperity to the multitude, and the House of Commons would in reality become the Assembly of the Tribunes of the People. We acknowledge, however, that it watt salutary the precise intentions of the new Government should be disclosed ; it was salutary, on every account, that the Cabinet should predicate somewhat of its futurity. The precise groove along which the RUSSELL Administration was destined to travel might readily be conjectured, but it had never been expli citly indicated. Mr. Dinicomiiim sympathised with the anxiety of the population, and demanded some definite explanation from the Premier. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, though averse to the imp ctrittive tone of this inquiry, as altogether unwarranted by precedent, and also as a kind of imputation u . pon the con- sistency and prominence of his persona career during a continuance of more than thirty years in Parliament, nevertheless comprehended the urgency of the circumstances by which it 'vas elicited ; and gratified the prevalent curiosity by an most ela borate reply. Altogether we confes s ourselves satisfied with the explanation of Lord JOHN RUSSELL. noo rh e e grievances;iLn oorvda W . stwiy e eAe d c esm o op u uii I n; st t u d hru nd aaptvoi o eon u n b we t ti e eos d rht l eh y adian h vt a he v ee e : iel w etote ishe biktineent d th e Noble endont Lord da e himself to have spoken with more explra - •it distinct ness, and a more resolute emphasis , !Ton individual questions of impr ovement. But t ta king his explana tion as a whole, we confess ours el ves address will be perusedzy it mworheunTerastisallfiye d. That ,andwe will undertake to ° universal in terest, as the forerunn er of a legislation, than perhaps any first address everw 'era In uttered by a Prime Minister of Great Britain. Whil e t h e policy which it unfolds is of a singularly reforrogory and liberalised character, it is nevertheless mot jelled upon caution. Forethought is the very skeleton W the Ministerial principles, and beyond this ad mar able characteristic the RUssELL Administratio n is remarkable, as we have repeatedly insinuated, for a total abnegation of party. Insomuch is this conspi cuous, that the First Lord of the Treasury act= ow leges to having endeavoured to associate with hitt tself several members of the late Government, because in them he recognised most efficient and patriotic states men, and because, between them and himself he perceived a broad coincidence in' principles. That, we conceive, is a circumstance wor thy of being chro nicled ith in t r h e e fe a r n ene n e als of legislation ; with Ministry general f g t is a proceeding th many y of bei ng commemorate d i n hiistory. to the programme 4'i the pre sentitems will Ize welcomed satisfaction. For emos t among measures s as with s regard be ardto w Among a v hieh are intentions ure e n ti propounded_ is the one, of course, r e l a ti ng to the sugar &dies, the measures likewise w hi c h remained ariety of those we are rejoic e d t o find Etil, -11 E pRT -postponed until, Monday evening next . destined to be supported by th e new% ,a n at cbao and severalde p t l . e h te i sud col leagues,paoor Upon the retirement of Sir 110 the Poor Removal Bill we are to await the explications of the Home S ecre t ary , an d earnestly do we trust that nothing precipitate may be done in its rejection. The Drainage Bill —one so intimately linked with the agricultural interests, and so likely to promote the culture and reclamation of land—will next come under consideration. And, although the group of Bills recently introduced by the late Secretary for Ireland will not be proceeded with intact, we are rejoiced to perceive that the one relating to ejectments will be continued before the House ; and doubly rejoiced that, despite the modifications by which it will then be accom panied, the clause preventing distrainment upon growing crops will be pres erve d. Th e L eas i ng Bill and the Tenants' Compe n i a ti on Bill are neither of them to be o ver l oo k e d, while, among divers Bills now lying in the Upper House, the Small Debts Bill will receive every encourage ment. Previous to the interrogations of Mr. T. DUNCOMBE the Premier abstained from revealing the details of the measures which were to be intro duced either by himself or his Right Hon. Colleagues, and contented himself with promising some prepara tory measure for the improvement of waste land in Ireland. Immediately, however, the Hon, Member for Finsbury had completed his jocose remonstrance with the Noble Lord the Member for the city of London upon the continuance of his taciturnity, the latter unthreaded, as it were, inch by inch, the maze of Ministerial intentions. Alluding to the absence of party spirit in the formation of his Ministry, and the manner in which it was modelled, irrespective of class interests, he said, " I hold, for my own part, that it is not for the land, or for manufactures, or commerce, but for the benefit of the whole people, that the Go vernment of the country ought to be conducted," he solemnly engaging to aid by every possible concomitant of power the amelioration of the condi tion of Ireland ; to endeavour, by every possible means, to endow her population with the same fran chises as those enjoyed by the population of Eng land, but to abstain, for the present at least, from any sweeping measures of reform in the endowment of the Roman Catholic priesthood. One curious episode in the revelations uttered by Lord JOHN RUSSELL was his explanation of the origin of the phrase "finality," a phrase which he justly regarded as obnoxious in its common acceptation, and the origination of which he altogether and emphatically repudiated. In speaking of the Factory Bill, the Noble Lord, if we comprehend him rightly, left the matter wholly in abeyance, because of a dis similarity of opinion on that subject existing in the Cabinet : himself and Sir GEORGE GREY ap proving in the reduction to eleven hours, while that alteration met with the strenuous opposition of the Chief Secretary for Ireland, Mr. LABOUCHERE. In conclusion, Lord JOHN RUSSELL condensed, into a single sentence, the general principles of his administration. "Those principles," said he, " are to increase the commerce, to set free the industry of the country, to promote the union, not the mere legislative Act of Union, but the union of hearts and affections between this country and Ire land." A n d no bl y an d j ust l y did t h e P r i me Minister chara c t er i se th ese principles as " calculated to promote, maintain, and advance the principles of religious liberty, which, together with civil liberty, have made this country conspicuous as one of the greatest nations in the world." Those are sentiments worthy of Lord J. RUSSELL, and not unworthy of this generation ; and, inasmuch as his pertinacity tended to divulge those sentiments, we are grateful to Mr. DU:WOMB& The Venice Gazette, of the 3d instant, announces that the POPE has published a general amnesty for 01 political offenders since 1836 up to the present time. The appointments of Cardinal AMAT and Car dinal Gizzi as Secretaries of State had given great satisfaction to the people of the Roman States. Madrid papers of the 10th have been received. The Heraldo mentions .a rumour that an intrigue was on foot for the formation of a new Ministry, with CASTRO Y ()Immo at its head, and of which GONZALES BRAVO, SEIJAS SALAMANCA, and CONCHA should be members. The condition on which this coalition Ministry would be permitted to take office is understood to be the immediate conclusion of the marriage of the QUEEN with a Prince of the family of Coburg. It would appear from the statements in this paper that a conspiracy against the Government has been discovered in Valencia. The Heraldo has the following on the affairs of Portugal : " The Portuguese Government has received a telegraphic dispatch announcing the dissolution of the Miguelite band near Chaves. The Revolucao of Lisbon, of the 4th, states that a conspiracy has been discovered at Vizea, and that a Miguelite faction had risen at Condeixa, and rendered it ne cessary for the authorities of Coimbra to adopt energetic measures to prevent new disturbances. At Palmeira and Braga there have been collisions between the troops and the populace, and blood has been shed on both s id es.

We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday. The Messager of the preceding evening says, in allusion to the assertion made by the Courrier Fran cais, that the Minister of Public Works had autho rised the opening of the Northern Railroad in oppo sition to the opinion of M. DE BEEVILLE, the Govern ment engineer of the road : ~ Before the opening of the road was authorised, the Go vernment consulted MM. de Breville and Busche, the engi neers in chief of the two sections of this road, as to whether it could be safely opened for passengers, and it was upon their respective reply in the affirmative that the service was authorised." The Minister of Public Works arrived at Arras on the 11th, and immediately afterwards proceeded with the Mayor and other authorities of Arras to Fam poux, to visit the scene of the late railroad disaster. It was reported, on the return of the Minister to Arras, that he considered it necessary that the peat bog over which the embankment has been made should be drained, and had given orders to that effect The Tribunal of Aftas has taken up the affair of the 9th on the Northern Railroad, and has ordered a rigid investigation, with the view of prosecuting any persons to whose negligence the injury inflicted upon the soldiers and workmen by the striking of the crane may be attributed. Since this second accident, says a correspondent, great precautions appear to be taken by the Company. Among other things the rate of speed has been so much reduced that the train from Amiens to Paris is sometimes five hours and a half on the road. r M. DUCHATEL the Minister of the Interior, has authorised the legal constitution of the Association pour la liberte des Echanges of Paris. The ordon nance is dated the Bth instant. Colonel MOUTON, a French officer in the Seikh service, has arrived at Marseilles from the Punjaub, by way of Alexandria. He took an active part i n the late campaign on the Sale.), and was present in all the battles. H e h a s placed himself at the disposi tion of the Mini s t er o f War. General M ONTHOLON , who is now at liberty, is waiting at H avre f or hi s passport to proceed to Aix la-Chapelle.

A report was current at the close of the Bourse that another acci• dent had occurred this morning on the ill-starred Northern Railroad, and that the Minister of Public Works had or dered it to be closed for a month. It is more than probable that this report has originated in t he accident re p orted in the Cou rr i er Francais, for had there been much credit given to it, the shares would have in all probability been more seriously effected, w h erea s the fall in the m has not been more tha n about five francs. .For cash—Paris and Orleans left off at 1,270 f ; Paris and Rouen, 990 f. ; Stras burg and Bale, 2171.; Boulogne, 45f. ; Northern, 7 13 f. 75 c. ; Bordeaux, 562 f. 50 c.; ision tereau, • 3751 , • Paris and Lyons, 523 f. 75c.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 5,000 bales, at steady rates. Shares were rather more dealt in. One marked effect of the abrogation here of the duties upon provisions will undoubtedly be, as has always been con tended, to throw into the hands of our merchants a very fair proportion probably, or at any rate some proportion, of the trade with foreign ports as regards supplying them with provisions. Strange as it may appear, our facilities, by means of machinery for the grinding of corn, the manufacture of biscuit, &c., are so extensive as to warrant the expectation of England becoming one day a vast depot of foreign corn, while, with a liberalised tariff, we shall doubtless become extensive carriers of sugar, coffee, and the other important staples with which, in return for British manufactures, our merchant vessels are so richly freighted. Ready to take advantage of every promising market, our enterprising ships will ever be on the alert. Iv► e may, there fore, usefully indicate from time to time the existence of dis tress abroad where there is a chance of British enterprise affording relief. By a decree of the Governor of French Guiana, the duties of entry on alimentary substances, spe cially intended for the sustenance of the blacks, are to be immediately abolished, and on the important grounds thus explained in the official document, dated Cayenne, in May last : We, the Governor of French Guiana, having seen the 22d and 31st articles of the royal ordinance of the 27th August, 1828, respecting the Government of French Guiana; having seen the embarrassment of the colony for want of food for the sustenance of the blacks, and whereas, the drought which has overspread the country since the month of November, 1845, until the month of April last, basso much retarded the sowing of the crops of the earth, at the same time that it has checked the growth of those already sown ; Considering that this distress will necessarily be prolonged until the first months of the season of 1847; It being, in consequence, necessary to encourage the tem porary importation of foreign food, to ensure means of sub sistence for the workmen, and to facilitate to commerce the means of affording food at the smallest possible cost to the inhabitants; having seen the urgency of the crisis, at the suggestion of . the Governor, by the advice of the Privy Council, we have decreed and do decree as follows: Article 1. Food specially desie:ned for the sustenance of the blacks—flour of cassavi, rice, maize flour, and maize in grain, that shall be introduced into this colony, from this day until the 31st of December next, shall be exempt from all entrance duties. Article 2. The Governor is charged with the execution of this decree, which shall be published in every place of business, and shall be inserted in the official bulletin of the colony. By the Governor, PARISET. CADEOT. The Funds Lava been rather more animated to-day, but there is no alteration in the quotations.

The present week's arrivals of English Wheat have been on a very limited scale ; yet the stands were fairly supplied with Monday's un sold samples. All descriptions met a very dull inquiry, and previous rates were with difficulty supported. The show of foreign Wheat was again large, owing to Which the sale for that article was exces sively heavy, at almost nominal figures. Grinding Barley, and the best parcels of Malt moved off at late rates, but all other kinds were quite neglected. Owing to the continued influx of foreign Oats, the Oat trade was heavy, and the quotations had a downward tendency. Beans, Peas, and Flour as last advised. ARRIVALS. Barley.

This was an action brought to recover the sum of 121.105. for wages. The defendant suffered judgment to go by default. Mr. ASHLEY, the plaintiff's solicitor, stated the case. The plaintiff had been engaged as secretary and clerk to a pro jected company, of which the defendant was a director, called the Rock Steam Mining Company. The company was 'formed in 1844, but only existed a few months. The plaintiff claimed for one quarter's salary, at 50/. per year. He would call one of the other directors to prove the engagement and terms. Mr. John Pym was 'called, and submitted that be was no bound to give evidence, as he might involve himself in Ea. bilities. The SECONDARY considered he was bound to be sworn, but need not answer questions rendering himself liable. The witness then distinctly proved the engagement of the plain tiff and his services. Defendant was one of the directors. He declined to produce the minutes, and the Secondary did not consider it necessary. Plaintiff was only engaged about an hour or two one day a week ; it was agreed that the salary should be 501. a year, to be increased if the concern prospered. It was to raise tin from amongst the rocks. Mr. WILKLNSON, fur the defendant, proceeded to cross examine the witness as to whether plaintiff had not been paid since the action was brought, but The SECONDARY said that the defendant having suffered judgment to go by default, he could not give evidence ,of payment. He would gladly assist in such an inquiry if he could, as he had no doubt in many cases actions were going on against five or six different parties. Mr. ASHLEY said it was not so in this case ; the plaintiff had received a bill which was dishonoured, and ample notice was given to Mr. Richardson that the amount could not be recovered from the other parties, and that the writ must be executed unless the action was settled. The jury, therefore, gave a verdict for the amount clainrd. RAILWAY COMMITTEES. (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. Room B. The Committee met this morning at eleven, the Earl of Lonsdale in the chair. ZEICESTER AND MEDFORD. Some formal evidence from the land valuers closed the case for the promoters of the line. The CHAIRMAN intimated to counsel, that evidence had not been laid before the Committee to show that there would be sufficient passenger and particular traffic to support the line. Mr. PAGET said he had only abstained from calling evi dence more in detail, that he might save the time of the Committee. He then proceeded to call Mr. Robert Smith, who said he had taken the number, of passengers from London to Derby, who would travel by the Bedford and Leicester Railway as the shortest route, and found it to be 606,000 of th e fi rs t c l ass, an d 728 , 500 of the second class. The witness produced detailed tables of traffic of persons, horses, and carriages, and agricultural produce, which were put in and proved by other witnesses. TRATIONS.

EDINBURGH ; WEDNESDAY.—The declaration of the poll took place to-day at twelve o'clock, on the hustings in High street. There was an immense crowd present, not less, we should think, than six or seven thousand. The SHERIFF having taken his place on the hustings, said —I have now, in terms of the statute, to declare the result of the poll for the election for the city of Edinburgh, which was held yesterday. The number of electors who polled for the Right Hon. Mr. Macaulay was I,73s—(Cheers. and hissel)—and for Sir Culling Smith, 832—(Cheers, and hisses) —making a majority in favour of Mr. Macaulay of 903. (Cheers, and hisses.) I accordingly make this declaration and proclamation, that, according to the result of the poll, Mr. Macaulay has been duly elected a Member of - Parliament for the city of Edinburgh.—(Cheers, and hisses.) Mr. MACAULAY then presented himself, amidst mingled cheers and hisses, and proceeded to address the meeting at some length in a strain of his usual fervid and effective eloquence. Sir CULLING SMITH followed, and during his efforts to ob tain a hearing, a scene of the utmost confusion prevailed. Mr. GIBSON CRAM, M.P., then came forward amid great cheering, mingled with hisses, which lasted for several minutes. When order had been in ROM degree restored, the Hon. Member proceeded, in a vigorous and effective speech, to reply to the remarks of Sir Culling Smith, and to comment on the mixed and motley character of the party supporting him. In the midst of the uproar the Sheriff left the hustings, after a vote of thanks had been moved to hint by Mr. Logan, advocate. Sir C. E. SMITH then came forward and attempted to ob tain a hearing, but finding it in vain, bowed his farewell. The multitude then quietly dispersed.

Thomp son, Mr. R. Cobden, M.P., Mr. Bright, M.P., Lord J. Rus sell, and Sir R. Peel, Bart., M.P." Mr. Coppeck moved the resolution without offering any remarks.

Nubar ae follows : " The Pacha begs to thank the mayor and aldermen for the trouble they have taken to call on him from Southall; ton ; but inde e d h e did not wonder at that, because, from very arrival i n E ng l an d t i l l the day of his departure, lie had received nothi ng b ut attent i on and kindness from everybo d y Ti in England ; a n d f or hi s own sake he would never be tire d returning thanks,which always would be less than the grandeur 4 of the kindn ess h e b a d noticed towards him. He assure d them that his f a th er wou ld endeavour always to keep Pea c o ful intercourse with this great nation; and if England , they told him, received a great plait from Egypt, EgYP s t : interest was also comprised in being on terms of friendse'Pd with England.
