The protectionists hold their meetings in the' front floors of houses in Bond-street, and if they do On' ture in the large room of a decent county, the at-• tendance is so small that "a cat can be seen walking about the room," 'mewed by the presence of that remarkably tame lion which the agriculturists dignify by the name of British. The League hold their meetings in theatres, in halls, in the open air, in all those places where men do most congregate together. Two such meetings were held last evening—the one at Leeds, in aid of the great League Fund, the other in Covent garden Theatre. This last meeting was, as usual, crowded, and Mr. GEORGE WlLson, the indefatigable Chairman of the League (who will to-morrow pre side at a great League meeting in the Free Trade Hall, Manchester) entered into details, showing the progress which the League has made simply by at tending to the registration. North and South Lan cashire, South Cheshire, and the West Riding of Yorkshire, are won, and won so completely, that the monopolists dare not venture a contest. Middlesex is won by a majority of 1,700, and it only remains with the free traders of London, by the pur chase of 40s. freeholds between this and the 31st of January, to secure them three free trade Members for Hertfordshire, and two free traders for East Surrey. Let them not trust to any Minister to carry a repeal of the corn-laws. The Minister can only carry such a repeal by the firm, unflinching support of the people, and to the people we would say, in the words of Mr. MILNER Gins(); " Remember the question is still in your hands." Yes, the question is still in the hands of the people of England, and they must insist upon the total, immediate, and unconditional repeal of the corn laws. There must be no talk of compensation; or if there be, the compensation must be paid by the landowners to that community which they have plundered for the last thirty years. If the account of the landed aris tocracy with the people were regularly drawn out, and the exemptions placed on one side and the bur dens on the other, the exemptions would be found greatly to preponderate, as we are prepared to show. But it is not in a pecuniary point of view that the landed aristocracy will suffer by a repeal of the corn laws, as was well shown by the speakers at the League meeting last evening. What they dread is the loss of their usurped power of oppressing their fellow-sub jects; and, to quote the eloquent words of Mr. MILNER GIBSON, " Englishmen will deserve to be branded as slaves if they do not throw off the ignominious yoke which a proud landed aristocracy has imposed upon their necks." The legal profession has been lately agitated by the exclusion of a Queen's Counsel from the bench of the Inner Temple by black-balling ; and all the rest of the world may fairly be astonished at discovering that elections to the governing body of a society which has important public privileges and duties, are made by the governing body itself by way of ballot, and one black ball excludes. It appears that the Inner Temple is singular in this mode of election to the bench. In the other Inns of Court the majority of the bench elect, and the ballot box is unknown. We are friends of vote by ballot for the election of Members of Parliament, but we should not dream of recommending that divisions should take place in the House of Commons by ballot. The distinction be tween the two cases is, that in the first you want to get the voter's own opinion uninfluenced by others, and, in the second, that you want to keep the Mem ber's votes under the influence of his constituents and of public opinion. The election is to give effect to his wish. The Member of Parliament has to vote in consistency with professions made to constituents, and so that constituents may be able to judge whether he is worthy of re-election. The elector is responsible only to his own conscience, and to give effect to that responsibility publicity of voting is not required. The Member of Parliament is respon sible to his constituents, and for this responsibility publicity is absolutely necessary. And for the Benchers of the Inner Temple to perform the duty assigned to them by their constituent body of electing new Benchers secretly is as outrageously absurd as it would be for Members of Parliament to vote secretly in divisions. They have to elect, not for the mere grati fication of their individual fancies and caprices, but so as best to promote the interests of the society which they govern, and of the legal profession. Secret voting takes away all check. But bad as is secret voting at all in this case, it is not only a bad, but absolutely the worst possible, state of things, when one capricious or malicious man may reject a candi date for the bench against the opinion of all his colleagues. We purposely abstain from entering into the per sonal questions connected with the recent exercise of the extraordinary power given to any one Bencher of the Inner Temple ; but we may mention that the gentleman who has been excluded is a gentleman of the highest literary accomplishments and of unimpeached character, and that the cause of the black ball which excluded him was, by the confession of the black balling party, a private quarrel, thirteen years old. Can there be a stronger illustration of the objection ableness of this mode of election to the bench ? The Inner Temple shares with three other Inns of Couit the power of admission and rejection for the bar. The possession of this important privilege makes this mode of election to the bench in the Inner Temple a proper subject for the atten tion of Parliament ; and if the Benchers do not themselves get rid of the present objectionable practice, we trust that the House of Commons, which interfered before in defence of Mr. WHITTLE HARV ET from the Inner Temple Benchers, will turn its atten tion to the recent extraordinary case of black-balling of a Queen's Counsel. And there are other matters in connexion with the Inns of Court which also impera tively demand the attention of Parliament. The absence of all preparatory education for those called to the bar—the absurd and expensive forms imposed on law students, in place of education given to them—the use made by the societies of the fees which they levy by virtue of their p r i v il ege o f admission to the bar—and the religious distinctions which they keep up by privileges for admission to the bar to members of the Church of England, who can alone graduate at Oxford and Cambridge —are matters calling for Parliamentary inquiry ; and we shall be glad if the recent extraordinary incident effec tually directs the attention of the Legislature to the condition of the Inns of Court. Too much can never be said in reference to the encouragement, the emoluments, and the considera tion which should be extended—and that moreover with an unstinting hand—to every department of our naval service; from the admiral to the non-commis sioned officers, and from the non-commissioned officers downwards. Neither is it possible to insist too re peatedly upon that national truism—that British security rests almost exclusively in the hands of our is in every re s p ec t subordinate, seam en, that the army a s a defensive power, to the Royal Navy ; and this s imply from two circumstances, first, our acknowledged supremacy upon the ocean, but abstractedly from the circumstances of our being an insular , empire, Avoid ing those particular argument" beenhupont topic, which have by repetition upon repetitionthread bare, and abandoning all those redundant worn and horn- E SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY M.ORNi I'ZG, JANUARY 15, 1846 bastic allusions to the prowess of our sailors, as fitted only for the novelist or the ode •writer, it will be sufficient for our present purpose to utter a few random commentaries upon her MAJESTY'S warrant, bearing date December 19th last past, and compiled for the express purpose of affording additional encouragement to the privates and senior officers in the army. In making this especial allusion to a document, which has been promulgated now three weeks since, we are desirous of abstaining from anything like prepossession for or against either of the two professions. However much an Englishman may retain a certain innate bias in favour of his more natural defenders, a sense of ordinary justice will compel him to acquiesce in whatever beneficial ar rangements may be devised for the perfection or im provement of his military fellow-citizens, as some thing both reasonable and politic. Nevertheless, on the appearance of any extensive and organised sys tem for the moral and pecuniary advantage of the soldiery, it is but within the limits of impartiality that he should look around him for some equally generous concession towards the more important, because the more indispensable upholders of the Go vernment; that when he beholds the cuirass and the shako he-burnished and be-brushed, he shoul3 expect to find the Guernsey waistcoat and the glazed cap of a smarter fashion or more durable materials. So much indifference, so much negligence, such continuous init . I the: reco mpense of our xi_ . k b lindness to their real val forces, and such a value, have tention towards the ne cessities or severally been so rem frliable in the behaviour of our offic,f ' " ta render 115 s omewhat sensitive at any new slight upon the service, and jealous of any exclusive benefit to their brethren of the land. In the warrant to which we make this particular' illusion some very tempting rewards are instituted, with the intention of luring the soldiers into exhibitions of valour or into regularity and unimpeachable sobriety of conduct, besides investing a number of meritorious veterans with badges emblematic of former courage or excellence of behaviour. It is strange indeed, and somewhat incongruous, to peruse the eighth article of this warrant, declaring that all " soldiers recom mended to receive gratuity for good conduct shall, by the approval of the Commander-in-Chief, be entitled to wear a silver medal," when we remember that the heroes who bled in the cause of humanity and free dom at the glorious victory of Algiers have never yet obtained a recompense so trivial as an insignia of this nature, even in copper. Among the forty-four articles which constitute this military sugar-plum, various rewards are invented for their especial comfort and satisfaction. Two thousand a year for distribution in annuities, minor offerings of a lesser amount, promotion from the ranks at the discretion of the higher officers, pensions and divers other highly acceptable boons are showered upon them with something little short of profusion To this we have not the faintest inclination to . raise a syllable of objection or discontent merit in any and every grade of existence is worthy of stimulus and recompense. Still this expenditure of generosity should never be restricted to a clique, or a party, or any individual profession in the State ; like charity, it should undoubtedly commence at home, but it should penetrate every .._ corner and crevice of that home; its application should be discriminately universal. Naval or mili tary should never form an obstacle in the way of improvement : in the abstract, the deni zen of a frigate or a camp should have such guerdons meted to them without any leaning in either direction. But, as we have already remarked, more particular care should be taken of, and more particular honours lavished upon, the more necessary of the two services : while, should this arrange ment be found, for the present, completely beyond our attainment, the twin-professions should at least be placed upon a footing of equality. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGII has his own popularity entirely at his disposal ; by reforming the many abuses and oversights which had been permitted to remain by his predecessors, he may readily ingratiate himself with the nation at large, while he will be per forming at the same moment a most laudable, a most sagacious. and a most noble-hearted achievement. Nor should this re-organization be limited to any one department of the navy ; from the highest to the lowest, from the commodore to the purser, from the purser to the more insignificant, though not less honourable posts of seamanship, there are in every situation demands upon the sympathy and interference of our Legislature. Nothing is more fallacious than this indolence in regard to our champions upon the water —nor is anything more certain than the necessity for some inquiry into their well-being and some ex traordinary changes. In this instance, however, the proverb is unhappily reversed—magna est veritas sed non preevalebii. Surely if the extension of the militia be advisable just now, some exertions to remodel and, as it were, to reanimate our sea forces would be neither ill-timed or short-sighted.' Many and specious have been the arguments con cocted by the protectionists, and disseminated among their subsidiaries, with the intention not only of snaking their cause hold good, but of consigning every advocate of free trade to the abhorrence of his fellow-countrymen. All their insinuations, however, and all their inferences have verged to one prominent and obtrusive point : they have endeavoured to im press upon the mass of agricultural labourers, that an unconditional repeal of the corn-laws would inevi tably diminish their employment, by preventing the reclamation of waste lands. This declaration has formed the terrible Mons Meg with which they have attempted to annihilate the League : this is the veritable quintessence of their opposition ; and plausible enough it may have appeared to those who merely skim the surface of a controversy. Before the rigid scrutiny and unswerving analysis, however, of an impartial inquirer, the utter emptiness of this accusation becomes manifest beyond a mo ment's question. And with such a scrutinizing and analytical observation does Mr. RIGBY WASON con trovert those assumptions of the protectionists in a letter, which he has just addressed to the agricul turists of Ayrshire. His arguments, as contained in this epistle, are neither crochetty nor ingenious— they consist simply of some very plain, incontrover tible, honest, straightforward facts. His opinions are not founded upon anything theoretical—they are, in his own language, "forced upon him by practical experi ence, in the last ten years." From the summary of' that experience it appears that, although the average price of corn during the time mentioned has continued at a price " which would leave no profit to a grower either in Europe or America, after he had paid freight and other incidental charges," he had been enabled to carry on several important labours—such as building mansion-houses, constructing various farmsteads, with an allotment of from two to five' hundred acres each, encouraging many tenants of forty or a hundred acres to raise edifices for them selves, and, besides this, " carrying out one of the most remarkable improvements in the metropolis," namely, running a channel of communication between the Grosvenor property and the Parliament Houses, without the slightest detriment to his own fortune. After enumerating these cir cumstances, Mr. 'twin - WASON observes to the agriculturists of Ayrshire—" You will percei ve how much more profitable my improvements would hare been had they been directed by your superior practical knowledge, and watched over by your un divided attention." Showing, by the spirit contained in those few sentences, the improbability—we had almost said the impossibility—of any pernicious conse quences resulting from an abolition of the restrictions upon foreign grain. lirith reference to its " throwing the poorer land out of cultivation," Mr. RIGBY WASON is still more brief, and, at the same time, still more emphatic His denunciations are condensed into the following paragraph : " It, with low prices, I can profitably reclaim waste land, necessarily loaded with the extra cost of building farm-houses, making roads, &c., and also with consider ably greater expenses in the actual cultivation, how is it creditable that land which is now profitably cultivated would cease to be so 2" This is a very reasonable and rational conclusion — as ridiculous to deny as the subsequent position, namely, that though rents might in some measure be reduced as a sequence to the corn-law repeal, " both landlord and tenants would soon discover that defi ciency in price might, by high farming, be com pensated for by increased quantity," while high farm ing necessarily implies an increased expenditure upon, and a greater likelihood of, employment for the entire body of agricultural labourers. In raising these hollow and illogical accusations against the free-trade movement, the protectionists are in simple earnest leaning upon reeds—and reeds that are already snapping. We have received Madrid journals of the 6th, but they add nothing to the intelligence of the same date published in The Sun yesterday. Considerable sen sation had been excited by the order to DoN HENRIQUE to quit the capital, and join Ms ship at Ferrol, on account of the foolish letter which he sent to the Opposition journals. The Bourse was closed on the 6th. The fall of the Barentin viaduct on the Rouen and 1-I‘vre Railroad, as account of which appeared is our edition of The Sun yesterday, had caused some sensation at Paris, and led to a considerable depression in the price of shares in that line. On Saturday they were quoted at 810 f., and on Monday closed at 755 f. The Paris journals furnish no additional particulars respecting the accident. The loss, according to the calculations, will amount to not more than 24,0001., and of course will fall entirely on the contractors. On Monday the Chamber of Peers resumed the debate on the Address, when M. GUIZOT replied to the remarks of the Count DE MONTALEMBERT on the state of the Christian population in Syria. "The speaker," he said, " had referred to the question as one of humanity, if not of elevated policy. Now he considered it to be both, and fully coincided la ith the Noble Count In his vlew4 of the necessity of af fording aid to that population, He had aiwaY'S deemed that view of the question as one that it was incum bent on France to adopt, and he could truly declare that such had been the principal motive that had actuated the conduct of the present Cabinet since 1810. But in all cases as Intgferencp in the affairs of another country, care should be taken that there was a chance of sq.:3MB, of such suceeu es w opi4 pot only sanction the act itself, but give such 4 result as would form an excuse for disturbing the general peace of Europe. In the affairs of the East th e Noble Count seemed to have taken an ex view of the I:wow:repo Ch e t th esmarked, P aggel— p°rfestehnetedlua's—ievoid of ... .sy f t. The . conduct of Frappe haq . 4---i ,ens with rtspeet but he must deny that suco t b P :e l e i n t c h Y r e e East, the case, and must assert that the acts of France had been distinguished alike for firmness and ability. The design of the French Government was to have the Lebanon restored to the ancient Christian administration. That object had been de manded earnestly at Constantinople. The violence arising from the differences of the two adverse races had been insisted on, and everything urged that could induce the Ottoman Government to yield to the demands thus made. He referred to the insults offered to France in the persons of certain of her sub jects, and declared that the indemnity demanded for such insults had been duly paid and the offending parties punished." Another Peer; the Count DE LA LOZERE spoke at some length on foreign affairs, and complained that France had made humiliating concessions to England. M. GUIZOT utterly denied the charge. France in every respect, had acted with perfect independence. Questions certainly had arisen which might have caused differences between the two coun tries, but these, by good will and mutual yielding, had been brought to a successful termination. With regard to Texas, he had looked on the question as one which, after the Act of Independence, related chiefly to the population themselves, while he must maintain that the interests of France required that the different provinces in the New World, peopled by the Spaniards, should not be merged in an universal republic. It was the policy of Europe to maintain an equilibrium among the Powers in the other hemi sphere. He was left speaking at the hour of post. We are glad to find from some of the Opposition papers that the importance of Mexico in that quarter begins to be acknowledged. It is, indeed, only necessary to represent facts in their true light to convince every party in France that the occupation of that rich territority by America would be fatal to French interests. "That magnificent country," says the National, "is just emerging from a state of bar barism, and the policy of civilised nations is no more understood than international rights by a people scarcely the eighth part of which are whites. Mexico possesses the richest mines of the precious metals whichlthe world contains, and yet it is daily plunging deeper into debt, and marching on the high road to bankruptcy. Its soil produces in abundance rice, sugar, coffee, and grain of every description ; but the agriculture, yet in its infancy, instead of furnishing such for exportation, is scarcely able to supply a suffi ciency for the interior consumption." The Committee of Deputies appointed to draw up the Address had agreed on all the paragraphs, and:on Monday the following draft, presented by M. VITET, was read by the President : • _ " Sire,—The Chamber congratulate themselves with you on the general situation of France ; and the accord of the great powers of the State, and the maintenance of our policy of order and conservation will more and more insure the regular development of our institutions, the consolidation of our liberties, and the progress of the national prosperity. Your Government is applying itself to prosecuting of great works of defence and public utility, the prompt completion of which the country requires. These new elements of force and wealth will afford us in a few years the guarantees which our security wants, spread over all parts of the territory, and through all classes, labour and well-being, and will supply the means of fertilising our industry, animating our trade, and preparing for our agriculture happier days, and prices worthier of its laborious efforts. " The Chamber will examine with solicitude, without ex ceeding the limits of prudence, the measures that will be proposed to it for completing their great ensemble of works. " Your Majesty gives us the assurance that our financial situation has become more and more satisfactory. We shall strive to improve it by making a vigilant and wise economy preside over the employment of our resources' " The various Bills the presentation of which your Majesty announces shall be the objects of our serious consideration. We are happy to learn that you continue to receive from all the Foreign Powers peaceful and amicable assurances—peace must henceforth be the first and most pressing want of all nations, and it behoves those who are endowed as largely with courage as with power to proclaim the benefits which result from its continuance. The policy which, by the as sistance of the powers of the State and public reason, has maintained a general peace in the midst of tem pestuous trouble, has excited the gratitude of the people, and in the page of history, Sire, it will be recorded as the honour] and glory of your reign. The reiterated proofs of friendship which have been evinced towards you by the Queen of Great Britain, and the reciprocal confi dence which exists between the two Governments, will happily ensure the continuance of friendly relations between the two nations. Your Majesty has announced to us that the convention which has recently been concluded for put ting an end to an odious traffic, is now being carried into execution ; and thus the Chamber is enabled to congratu late itself on the realisation of that wish which it has so re peatedly expressed. The rights of humanity will be effica ciously respected, and our commerce will be replaced under the exclusive superintendence of our flag. We would ex press a hope that France and England, by their communi cation and unison, whose only object will be the desire to stop the flow of blood, and the re-establishment of commer cial relations on a more certain and substantial basis, may at length succeed in restoring peace on the banks of the river Plate. Faithful to the engagements which she has con tracted, France has a right to invoke respect for treaties ; she reminds the whole of Europe of those solemn guarantees which have been stipulated for in behalf of a generous people. "We deplore with your Majesty the events which have disturbed our possessions in Africa, and we share with your Majesty those sentiments which the heroism of our soldiers has inspired. France follovis them through their perils with grateful solicitude. France applauds the promptitude of those measures which you have taken to maintain her power and sway in Algeria. Our perseverance shall not be over come, and our energetic efforts shall ultimately succeed in founding and establishing a fruitful and prosperous security en that land which we have proclaimed to be French. Sirs your wisdom and your .courage have enabled us, in the midst of great difficulties, to fulfil the noble mission with which you have been entrusted by the national will. Our duty is to afford you loyal assistance, and to establish with you, on an imperishable basis, the Government and,the dynasty of our choice. Providence has blessed our efforts, and has vouchsafed to us consolations which we would consi der as guarantees. Your grandchildren will follow the example of their fathers, those noble Princes who, whereso ever they have appeared, have done honour to the name of France. Sire, all your aspirations have been realised. You have acquired the lasting affection of the country, and each succeeding day renders more indissoluble the bonds of union which bind your family to your country." The debate on this address was ordered to com mence on Friday. _ _ --------- - - The Gazette ail Midi, a Marseilles journal, of the Bth inst., states positively that a case of plague had appeared in the lazaretto of Marseilles. We are glad to find that Lord COWLEY has reco vered from his severe accident. His Lordship and Lady COWLEY had the honour of dining with the KING and QUEEN on Saturday evening.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 3,000 bags. The market was quieter, but there was no change in prices: 250 bales Egyptian sold at 64d. ; 250 Maranham at 4 1 ,4 d. to 5%d. ; and 2.500 American at 3%d. to 6d. per lb. Shares were dull in general. A case was decided yesterday in the Admiralty Court, upon a bottomry bond, in which the Learned Judge (Dr. Lush ingtoo) gave some very sound advice to the owners of ships in this country, and, indeed, elsewhere, as to the selection of competent and trustworthy captains, put in command of ships destined for long voyages. In the case et the Hebe, the master, it would appear, had exceeded his orders, but still as the representative of the owners, the ourt was compelled to give a sentence in favour of the bond, and with costs. The advice of Dr. Lushington was good, and worthy of the most earnest atten tion on the part of the shipping interest. Very manyowners of ships have lost largely by selecting, either through family favouritism or for cheapness, inefficient men, and have been compelled to "pay the piper." There are dates from the Cape of Good Hope to Nov. 15. The farmers who had flocked in such numbers to Colesberg, in order to hear the trial of two settlers, who shot a country man of theirs in the course of a dispute, were disappointed of the anticipated gratification, as, in consequence of the pre vailing excitement, it had been found necessary to move the proceedings into a superior court. Affairs on the frontier were tranquil, and there was a prospect of the authorities continuing to exercise due vigilance.
