The long and interesting dispatches relative to the affairs of the Punjaub, which appeared in The Sun on Saturday, throw much light on our rehttions with that country, and leave no doubt whatever that the Indian Government was driven by absolute necessity to make war not only upon the Seikhs, but the present :rulers at Lahore. In' these documents three features appear conspicuous above all the rest—the corrupt and reckless government that now prevails, the cruelty and lawless disposition of the Seikhs, and the firm determination, we may say to a fault, of the Governor- General to commit no overt act which could give the slightest pretence for aggression. Major BROADFOOT who appears to have executed his mission with prudence and fidelity, describes the disgusting and horrible scenes which occurred in the capital before the RANEE, her paramour and Ministers, fell upon the plan of attacking the English to get rid of the Seikh army, and save themselves from certain destruction. Drinking to excess, debauchery of the most re volting character, treachery and cruelty prevailed to an ex tent perhaps never equalled at the most corrupt courts. The oT li c z baracter and habits of the RANZE, or QuEEN specimens of the rest. "The state of R, may serve as parties," Says the agent i n h. a letter dated August 6, 1845, "is seriously changed, the liaisisx's mind affecetedeausb is, excesses ; she has having become seriously is sometimes for become stupid, instead of clever and y li gh sh a e t times she days in a state bordering on fatuity ; a v n e d y t :, revives, chiefly when stimulated by drinkin o g a takestakes w t e l little concern in the public business, compared wih Tu. SUN, LONDON. MONDAY' EVENING, MARCH 2, 1846. Trte protectionists turned pale as the united voice of the peo ple,: celebrated the triumph of " their worst enemies." The "f 'arrner's friends" also received another blow in the nomina • 6 m of the Earl of LINCOLN. Mr. RIMY, of Basford, came foi 'ward to propose him, and in spite of the unseemly inter ru, otions of gentlemen on the hustings, he boldly declared thl a although Lord LINCOLN was not there, he would not onl, y nominate him " but get him in. It was not the first tim t a subaltern had achieved a victory in the absence of the gene val ; he had not expected to take part in an electicrieering contest, but the circumstances were such that any ins,i. Who had feeling left in him, must, as he did, fling himself ,into the struggle, with warm blood and spirits high, and fight for peace, and liberty, and independence." To morrow the contest will take place, and it remains to be seen whether th,e electors of the northern division wil! give their votes for an untried candidate and a worn-out cause, or range themselves unt.leithe banners of those who are now all powerful only because they are acting for the people's good, and in accordance with the wants and wishes of the people. The majOrit y of ninety-seven is decisive of the success of Sir Ros Era PEEL'S measure in the House of Commons. It is possible, it is true, that some Conservatives who voted with Sir R. PEEL on Saturday morning may fall off in future divisions, and we have heard of two or three Members likely to take this course. They would not be a party to so strong an opposition as a refusal to go into Committee to consider Sir ROBERT PEEL'S proposals; but when the several facts of the measure come to be considered in Committee, and when the Bills to be founded on the resolutions in Com mittee come before the House, they will ote against the Minister. But not many are likely to take this course ; and, on the other hand, the protectionists may make sure that some of their rank and file will fall off in future divisions. All the two hundred and forty are not animated by the same zeal in the cause as the MiLzsEs and BANnEsits and CoLgu- JIOUNS—the expectants of office under the Duke of RlCH norm. Sir T. Acta-ND declared that, though intending to give his vote against Sir R. PEEL in the first division, he would be no party to a factious and vexatious opposition, and that a decided majority in favour of the Government would determine him to keep aloof from all subsequent opposition. There are manyother moderate Conservatives—men with strong attachment to Sir R.-PEEL and who have voted against him with the greatest. reluctance—men who have given their votes against the proposal, less from strong aversion to it on their own parts, than in obedience to the feelings of consti tuents—who will follow Sir T. ACLAXD'S example. The pro tectionists -will never muster two hundred and forty again. That two hundred And forty was a convulsive effort. It is to be observed, also, that the number of absent Liberals is greater than that of absent Tories. The whole number of the absent, allowing for North Nottinghamshire, Wigan, and Bridport, as vacant, was seventy-one. Of these twenty-six are accounted for as paired. Of the re maining forty-five only fifteen are Tories, and thirty are Liberal Members. Mr. Waxson and Mr GRANGER, who were among the Liberal absentees, were compelled to go on circuit, and Mr. Ricanto, we are in formed, was compelled to go on business to Paris ; and these three gentlemen would have been in the division if the de bate had not beer so unreasonably protracted. We regret to see that so many as eighteen Irish- Liberal Members are absent, on a question of which Irish famine is a principal in gredient. However, we may infer that the Government will on future occasions have the benefit of the votes of several of the thirty Liberal Membez who were absent on Friday without Fairs. And if North Nottinghamshire is to return anot'ier protectionist recruit, Bridport is safe to return a sup porter of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S policy. We rejoice to hear, on the best authority, that the Govern ment measure is safe in the Lords, and that it will be carried in that House by a majority of not less than thirty. Our readers may rely on this statement, and disregard all the blustering of protectionist Dukes and newspapers, who blus ter the more about the House of Lords only, because they know that they have no chance in that House. Not merely has curiosity been satisfied by learning the upshot of the division on Saturday morning, but it has likewise been gratified by listening to the arguments adduced by Mr.Corinme before the termination of the discussion. Had not his con valescence enabled the Hon. Member -for Stockport to take (however tardily) some share in the debate, there would have been a manifest hiatus in the proceedings of Parliament upon this enlightened and comprehensive measure. Every one, whether free-trader or protectionist, was naturally anxious to become acquainted with the exact sentiments en tertained at this moment by Mr. COBDEN, because in him they beheld the most influential of all out-of-door political economists ; because in him they beheld, as it were, the mind aid the muscle of that great Asociationwhich had tended so much to impel the system of abolition to its accomplishment ; because, moreover, in him they beheld the most popular pri vate representative in the House as-far as the question at issue was concerned, Besides which, people were the more desi rous of hearing that Honourable Gentleman's voice from the Opposition benches, as to- some sceptics his intentions seemed to be problematical ; they clung with despairing avidity to the hope of his impeding Sir ROBEZT'S policy by persisting in his demand for an immediate and Motel repeal of both im port and export duties. It was the last straw at which, in the agonies of their destruction, these satellites of Mr. MILES grasped with spasmodic eagerness and stolid perti nacity. Mr. BRIGHT'S acquiescence with the Premier, and, in addition to this, his impassioned eulogium upon that Right Hon. Baronet, would have satisfied any dispassionate mind as to the intentions of the Hon. Member's colleague. Nevertheless, so blinded with their own perverseness were these self-legislators, that they chuckled audibly in their club-rooms at the stumbling-block preparing for the Prime Minister, quoted the epistle addressed by the Mem ber for Stockport to the tenant-farmers of Great Britain, and revelled in these fallacious notions even in the purlieus of Westmiaster. On Friday night, however, Mr. COBDEN, as the embodiment of the Anti- Cern-law League,- as the symbol of the popular voice and of the popular will, snatched this last phantom of re demption from the reach of the protectionists, and cast them for ever adrift amidst the surge of their own selfish disap pointment. His speech was a condensation of the opinions which have been battling in the Lower House during the pre vious twelve nights : the fallacies which were previously floating about haphazard, 'without any recognisable shape, were in that oration reduced to a concrete atom, a kind of existent nothingness. He was the political pentagraph with which the mammoth array of argument spreading over the past discussion was reproduced in a clear, sharp, and minia ture epitome. As such Mr. COBDEN'S presence immediately before the Parliamentary tellers were introduced, was frought with extreme utility, since with the assistance ef his clearjudg ment the Members were enabled to take a common• sense review of the measure and its consequences directly before recording their vote. Although oppressed with the languor of bodily debility, there is traceable in the manner of the Hon. Member for Stockport, during the utterance of his re marks, a peculiar and sunny cheerfulness, which is alone at tributable to the satisfaction with which he perceived the triumph of the cause for which, through many bitter and protracted troubles, he had been the daring and devoted champion. In the opening of his observations. Mr. COBDEN pointed out, with a :at eady finger and a laughing lip, the out rageous absurdity of the agricultural gentlemen insisting upon an appeal to the country as a means of insuring the perpetuation of the present pernicious barriers against the introduction of cheap grain ; he avouched the extension of the franchise, as now practised by the League, to be a custom sanctified by five -hundred years' duration ; and he appealed to their pradence as legislators, to their justice as Christians, to their reason as men, to deny the working classes no r ready :access to plentiful and wholesome provisions. Compared with the cant, selfishness, and party quibbles of the land proprietors in opposing Sir ROBERT PEEL'S policy, the peroration of the Hon. Member's speech has much real beauty and nobleness. He takes a capacious survey of terrestrial exigencies ; he insists upon the necessity of allowing the laws of GOD and Nature alone to regulate the supply of nourishment to tlie populace; and concludes with this simple but emphatic language :—" We have set the world the example in all great improvements. We gave it the representative system; the rules and regulations of this House have -become the - models for every delibera tive assembly. We have given the world a free press; we have given it civil and religious freedom, and every insti tution which belongs to liberty and civilisation; and now we are going to give it another example, greater than all." Depressed as Mr. ConDEsi's energies might have been from indisposition, - he has spoken precisely as be should have spoken : he has spoken exactly as the people wanted : he has spoken in accordance with the dignity of his present posi tion as an eminent and sagacious legislator. When record ing the present glorious revolution - in commercial policy, the future historian will identify with its acceptance—and that in an especial manner—the name, the words, and the in tellect Of RICHARD COBDEN. It is seldom that such victories have to be announced by the journalists—victories achieved not by the shedding of one drop of blood, not by the waving of one single sword, not by the deathful propulsion of cannon balls, but with the peaceful weapon—logic, by the divinest attribute of human nature—our reasoning faculties. When, therefore, we remember that these opinions have been maisly inculcated by one voice, and that voice Coanzie's ; when N% e remember that a vast moral revulsion in the cause of the people has been mainly produced by one man's exercise of rhetorical and argumentative powers—and that man, COBDEN; when we remember that the means of incalculable happiness to posterity as well as to ourselves, have been mainly rescued from monopoly -by one-bold and vigorous champion—and that champion CornimN—surely, for once, even the most bigoted should not become niggard of commendation ; their generous and manly expressions of gratitude should be accorded to rticitmln COBDEN without stint in length or eartnestness. With him all real lovers of their kind unite their largest and warmest sympathies, seeing (as they do) in him a man striv stcooi a t m a t ia r o y rnk i n wu o ph t o i i v nc e h t o h f t aw a t k b l a s pa sletare nightek ) n e d t . w() fe between striv ing for the general good of his f e llo w crea t ures , with o ut on e nt h o e r t hd w ei es Premieris t s o u n n i t n h t ae e n r rd e s e e t ot i tin - g e. • ha achievement le h is mainly, and w e may say paramountlmber for Stockport —men t o w h om th e present great 7, attn.- butable. 1 Madrid papers of the 22d ult. a b ound with rumours, but bring no news that can be depended up on . It was current l y reported that the new Finance Mini s t er was t o commence his career by cutting down the expenses of the army and the Royal Family. If he wishes to remain in o ffi ce he had bette r refrain from this species of economy, for Cznismu. and NAR VARZ to a certainty would oust him in a week. Another , report was, that there would be a modification of the Minis. she used to do, and than is guided chiefly by her low para mours and servants. Now, the remnant of wise men left hitherto prevented convulsion by their influence with the RANEE, especially the Fakeers and BNABE RAM SDIGH ; but this influence is all but gone in the RANEE'S present state ; so much so, that BuAxx Res Smarr lately sent me a cau -1 tion against closing a business with the existing Government, ;as it was certain the troops, on their return after the Dus math, would put to death JOWAIIIR SINGE and the RANEE, With h e e son." In fact they did put to death ithin JusysYlß SINGH, brother of the RANEE, and cult his body almost to pieces. The RANEE, and her drunken associaL'es and Ministers saw that they would be at devoured, u nless this terrible army, without discipline al id any feeling of mercy, w ere diverted from their purpo se . The troops, it would appear, were not at all disposed to al tack the English, but every day the RANEE and the Sirdare be caine more urgent for their advance to the frontier, be lie ving that the only hope of saving their lives and Brush o lonoing their power wee by a collision with eforces. 'these facts exhibit the character of the Government, and the army, which, under certain promises, and after con sictereeble sums of money had been conferred on it, entered into a. sort of bargain for the invasion of the British terri tory. in such circumstances, therefore, the Governor- General took all the necessary steps which he consi dered °pat to him for guarding the frontier; he ordered Ti.p reinforcements, had a great number of regiments ready to march at four hours' notice, and mustered within a reasonable distance as many forces as he Ithought would be sufficient to repel an invasion which he had every reason to believe was not undertaken with good will. But he was mistaken as to the people he had to deal with—the Seikhs had collected a much larger army than either Major BROADFOOT or any agent on the right bank of the Sutlej had considered possible for them to muster in such a short period, and the extent of the danger was not seen till about the Sth of December, ten days before the first battle. The Anglo-Indian army was then put in motion, and how nobly and gallantly it accomplished its work, the people of this country and of the gretater part of Europe already know. Several charge Sir HENRY HARDINGB with - neglect, and say that he was Sur prised, and had he mustered a larger force on the frontier the battle would have been less bloody and mare quickly decided. We entirely concur in the latter view of the case; but it is evident from Sir HENRY HARDINGE'S dis patches, and the communications of his agents, that he was anxious above all things to afford no grounds for war; in deed, his language on that point is so unequivocal, that we have no doubt whatever that he was acting according to the instructions of a power above him. The troops he had already collected along the frontier were viewed by the La hore Government with jealousy, and ultimately made the pretence for attacking our troops. Had he collected an army either at Ferozepore or Loodianah, he would have acted on the offensive, and fully justified the Seikhs in their invasion. As it is, the case is happily different. We have right on our side, and in a moral point of view, and as regards physical force, this is of 3 the very first importance. Nearly all the French journals admit the Seikhs were in the wrong, and they are, therefore, the more inclined to do justice to th e bravery of the British troops, which they do in the most explicit terms. But, even if the Governor-General had assem bled a large army, he could not tell at what point the Seikhs would make an irruption. By concealing their move ments they could have anticipated him by several days on a line of frontier extending for nearly a hundred miles, and, as Was the case at Moodkee, there must have been forced marches, and the troops subjected to the greatest fatigue before they could come up with the enemy. "It appears to me," says Major BROADFOOT, that the frontier is too long to be defensible on all points by any force we can move. This was evidently also the opinion of Sir HENRY HARDINGE, and if we are not mistaken, the Duke of WELLINGTON will bear his testimony to the fact. It is easy to find fault, and some men delight in throwing the heavy blame on public servants , without considering their difficulties, and not unfrequently in perfect ignorance of the real merits of the case. WELLINGTON, too, was charged with:negligence, and accused of having suf fered himself to be surprised by the French on the plains of Belgium; but these accusations have died away, and his successful stand at Quatre Bras and victory at Waterloo have fully justified him in the eyes of all respectable judges. We are glad to see Lord LINCOLN has been put in nomina tion for the northern division of Nottinghamshire. If, as we fervently hope, his Lordship will be successful, it will be more than an ordinary triumph. It will not only be a triumph for the principles of free trade, for the interests of the people, and for the Ministers who are now advocating those interests, it will be a well-earned tribute to the Noble Lord himself, who happens to be the son of one of the most exclusive and arbitrary of the whole exclusive race. Himself early imbued with the doctrines of intolerance, and recently a member of a pro tectionist Government, has now, at the sacrifice of all party and personal considerations, come boldly forward to proclaim the great principles of free trade, to assert the rights of the people and the interests of commerce, with an eloquence and an energy that have taken all by surprise. The election of South Nottingham is remarkable as a striking example of the disgraceful spirit that, happily in rare instances, still pre vails. It is one of the last triumphs of the evil genius whose funeral knell was rung en Friday night,—a triumph of prejudice over principle of intimidation over conscience. Lord LirscoLn was placed in a most trying situation; manfully he stood the trial—gallantly he faced the danger. His conduct during the whole canvass elicited universal applause.is His opponents found reason and argu ment useless, and resorted to every species of contumacy. They could not assail his principles or his political cha racter, he defended them too efectually from their attacks ; they turned their weapons in another direction, and repre sented him as an undutiful son; a renegade and a Papist ! By such means they won their triumphs—by such means they deceived the ignorant, blinded the unwary, end led away even the well-meaning and the good. Had the whole truth been rightly understood, how different had been the issue ! The - conduct which earned for Lord LLNCOLN these opprobrious titles in reality is deserving of the highest honour. Of the disgrace attending the open contest between afatber and son not one particle can fall on him. It cannot be said he " went against his father," because that father had no right to be there. The Duke of NEWCASTLE may call himself a constituent, but the law gives him no voice in the matter. The question at issue was solely between Lord Luscous and the electors, and if the Noble Duke chose to interfere, If he came voluntarily for ward to oppose his son, his was the fault, and his be all the disgrace. It must have been a severe trial for the son of the Peer, and the representative of the people; but the latter triumphed—weighed in the balance he was not found want ing. He preferred the dictates of his own conscience to the commands of his stern father—the good of the country to his personal welfare. Yet, for this self-abnegation, this resolute sacrifice which in old times gained the name of heroism, Lord Lixeous has been bitterly reviled. Equally futile are the charges of apostacy which have been daringly brought forward; because he is appointed a visitor of May noot h College, it is inferred that he must be a Papist! One of Mr. Hitnxann's._ friends, endeavouring to win over an elector, urged this plea : " then," exclaimed the elector's wife, " the county magistrates must be lunatics, for they are visitors of the asylum." And such must have been the feelings of all who thought on the matter; but, unhappily, all could not, or would not think. Prejudice veiled the truth, the tenants obeyed their master, and after his strenuous exertions and unanswerable arguments, Lord LLNCOLN was rejected ! rejected in spite of the justice of his cause. On Friday he took leave of his former constituents ; his powerful and im pressive language affected even his opponents. He acknow ledged his mortification ; but he was firm as ever. " I regret the issue," he exclaimed, " but I have no-other regret. One consolation yet remains to me,—one that is able to cheer a man in the bitterest moment of his distress,—that can shed a ray of comfort on the darkest spot of his existence. I feel and know I have acted on this occasion from a single motive, from a paramount sense of public duty. Everfinterest of a private or personal nature would have counselled me not to stand this contest, every thing of a selfish nature would have prompted me to take a different course. I might, at this moment, be the repre sentative of South Nottingham, I might retain your con fidence, but my own conscience would smite me. I prefer this defeat, which now stings and pains me, than to have been returned for adopting a course that would not ad vance my country's interests." The electors of South Nottingham have rejected the representative whose only fault consisted in preferring their interests to his own. It is left for the men of the north to repair the injury, to do honour to themselves by honour ing him. The very day after his rejection in the south Lord LINCOLN was nominated on-the hustings-of Mansfield. The protectionists had anticipated an easy triumph ; Lord HENRY BENTINCK was to " walk over" the course. A young and untried man, he was powerfully supported because he be longed to the PORTLAND family and the protection party. Mr. Milan's proposed him as a fit and proper person, and calling himself "an old student of the science of Political economy," he gave a proof of his wisdom by the extraordinary declaration :—" As an honest man and an or Englishman, h e w o u ld sooner buy his hats in Mansfield Worksop, or Nottingham, than of a Dutchman or a Frenchman, though he had to pay dearer for them." Now this may appear v er y honest and the English to Mr. MiLsrEs, but principles at of political e it co i n s o t m o y ta . lly h at is v a ar p ia o n or c patriotismwitht wouldkeMr. only en courage home manufactures. If every one,MILNES, were to buy everything at home, notwithstanding like tanding h WOW d foreign nations no t fo l lo w our example, and pay dearer cost, their own good s rather than take ours, and w here would be r our commerce, the source of all our wealth and power? Mr. MILNES had possibly not considered the subject, neither had he considered the present state of the country when he pro posed a young Lord, whose chief recommendation was his zeal for protection. Lord HENRY EN BTLNC , then ew can his first publi speech, i d n idat w e lieh made he a provedspeech' his sense and judgment r r ned pr es e n t to worst o e t s h e7 w ie s h . o " Onby speaking theeve o o f f a th h e at rt t i l i e n , is N te Ar rs was urging him to proceed, " When you have commanded o sul Lfro " N ou t in thirty pitched battles, presume to advise me." And with like presumption this young Lord dares to speak of Minis ters, who have been taught by experience, and who are now at every cost, proving themselves the true friends of the country. While Lord HENRY was speaking shouts were heard in the distance, and amid general eheerinF the glorious news of the division was sallow:lced try, and•tbat Istuturz'and MittAvuitEs would give place to ItoNcArA and NA RVAEZ. The Engish Ambassador gave a splendid ball on the night of the 21,t, which was atteukd by upwards of 800 persons. . . On the 21st the Three per Cents. e.osed at 32 1 ,E at GO days, and the Five per Cents. at 23% at 60 days. The French Minister of Finance has at last introduced into .he Chamber of Deputies a Bill for the reduction of postage on letters. He proposes fer sing'e letters that the charge shall be two sous, when the distance does net exceed twenty kilometres- on -English miles), four sous, the distance not exceeding forty kilometres, and increasing in the same ratio up to ten sous for a single letter, the maximum postage pro posed for the whole of - France.. The Bill did not appear to meet a favourable reception _in the Chamber, as a more radical change, something like our penny postage, was ex pected. Some of the journals contain further remarks on the late battles in India ; and we may say all that have commented on the results have done full justice to thebravery of the British troops. The Constitutionne/, the organ of the ex-Minister, who has such a cordial antipathy to England, is even ce' i n.. plimentary, and blames Sir HENRY HARDINGE, not for has. ing too small an army on the frontier, but for provotkiDg the contest by assembling along the frontier some 17,000 men. "The General-in-Chief in India," says that journal, "is cer tainly right to congratulate himself on the victory, which, however, was dearly purchased, although, after the official reports, the number of killed and t\ounded is not so great as the private letters had represented it. But as to the term criminal given to the incursion of the Seiks on the territory of their _brethree, protected by the Company, it is not in any way justifiable, if it be borne in mind that the concentration of English troops en the frontier of the Punjaub had continued for several months, without any explanation being vouchsafed to the Government of Lahore. That the. Seikbs, when menaced with an armed intervention should have made the first movement, and fallen on the divisions separated from each other by con siderable distances, and should have thus endeavoured to anticipate the blow destined for there, is nothing but a good piece of strategy, The epithet of criminal must not there • fore be given to the combinations of the enemy, which only aimed at defending its independence with greater chances of success, and displayed more courage and cleverness than was expected. With this reservation, we join completely in the eulogium which the army of India, as well European as na tive, has merited on the part of ifs General, and of the mother-country.", The Special Committee appointed to examine the extraordinary vote of a million sterling for Africa, after some discussion, had resolved on maintaining the limits proposed in 1830, which include the territory lying between the sea, the frontier of Sahara, and Tell, Morocc27 and the Regency of Tunis. According to accounts from Bordeaux, - the free-traders in - France are imitating the ex ample of the League in more "ways than one. On Monday last they held a meetingin the principle theatre of that town a very large building, when the Mayor and some half-a dozen members of the Association made speeches suitable to the occasion. The Mayor proposed to raise subscriptions for carrying out _their views. At the conclusion, he an nounced that the - members of' the Association present had subscribed 11,000 f., and that subscriptions had already been received to the amount of 50,000 f. We copy from the Journal des Debate the following impartial remarks respecting the probable results of a war between England and the United States : " It is for the advantage of the Union to remain at peace with England. The first interest of a people before whom a question of war is placed is, to avoid certain defeat. To all men of sound sense it must be evident, as well at Washington as in London, that the first campaign must turn to the advantage of Great Britain, for that power has for several years past been making immense preparations. Ships and steamers, stores, sailors and marines, are all ready in her arsenals. America, on the contrary, has nothing to oppose to her for midable adversary. The agricultural commercial, and manufacturing interests would suffer immensely from a war. Cotton, which forms the principal article of American exportion, would, by a rigorous blockade, be kept in the ports of New Orleans, Mobile, Charleston, and Savannah. War would prove the ruin of the greatest part of the capitalists in the twelve or thirteen states who cultivate that precious article. The commerce of the ports of New York, Boston, Phila delphia, and Baltimore, which have dispensed so much capital throughout the country, would be destroyed, seeing that England is in a position to blockade all those ports, for her immense navy will en able her to do so. The only retaliation which America could inflict would be by means of her cruisers and her privateers. Those would doubtless cause much injury to British commerce, but it would be trifling when compared with what America would suffer. Lastly, the prizes made by the privateers would not repair the injury which the American regular commerce would experience. And in a country thus impoverished, what market would the national manufacturers find, even when freed by war from the competition of the English Productions ? The convention of 1827," concludes the Journal des Debats, "w ill doubtless be adhered to by the United States; notice of the cessation of the treaty will be given ; but, instead of being a signal for war, it will be the preamble of a solution which will satisfy the United States as completely as the rational citizens of that Republic can desire, which will preserve entire the honour of England, and which will preserve that which the enlightened men of all countries should endeavour to maintain—the peace of the world being, as it is, the first benefit conferred by civilisation, and the first guarantee of liberty." On Saturday the Paris Bourse continued firm throughout the day. The market closed as follows : Three per Cents., for Cash, 84f. 95c. ; for Account, 84f. 90e. ; Five per Cents., tSr Cash, 123 f. 55c. ; for Account, 123 E 60c. ; Bank of France Shares, 3,445 f.; Neapolitan, 101 f. 25c.; Spanish and New Loan, not quoted. - The Share Market was alio good, and closes at an advance in all the leading lines.

NORTH Norriwonam.—During the nomination of the can didates on the platform at Mansfield, and while Lord H. Bentinck was speaking, "_THE SUN" express (from Notting ham) arrived with bills announcing the division in the House of Commons. The moment this " great fact" became known in the room, the pro-corn-law party became almost dumb stricken (the protectionists having a few minutes before as serted that the repeal of the corn-laws would not benefit the working men). The shouts of hundreds of the working classes, however, when the express arrived, fully proved that they considered protection to native industry anything but a boon to themselves.- (FROST A CORRESPONDENT.)

" That the thanks of this House be given to General Sir Hugh Gough, Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath, Commander-in-Chief of the Forces in the East Indies, for the distinguished valour with which he led the several attacks upon the enemy in the battles of the 18th, 21st, and 22d of December, 1845, displaying, in conjunction with the Governor General, a brilliant example to the troops of perseverance and courage in critical circumstances, and of irresistible ardour in the several attacks made upon the enemy.

By the Washington, advices have come to hand one day later from Boston. There is nothing tnew to report connected with the Oregon debate in the ♦tn,xican - Legislature, if we except the con tents of one letter. It is stated in this communication, that in all the agricultural sections of the Republic, the prospect of a repeal. of the British torn-laws has had a niosLcecided influence in checking the war-cry on the " paltry Oregon question," as our correspondent calls it. Further he states it as the concureut opinion of all but the Polk party—that should the Cortes agree to give the notice of a dissolu tion of the joint occupancy of the territory hi question, an amicable arrangement " will and must" ho come to. There has been an improved market for the British Securities to day The political antagonism 111 the Stock Exchange—the Change, "where merchants most do congregate," and in the City generally, is rapidly softening down," and with a serious degree of earnestness are people looking out for the ;wonderful change in the commerce of the country occasioned by the prospective repeal of the corn-laws.

MARKET NEWS. 7 (THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE.-(MONDAY.) The past week's arrivals of Wheat of home produce, coastwise, as well as by land carriage and sample, were on a very limited scale, though of fair average quality. Or all other English grain the receipts were, comparatively speaking, small. From Ireland and Scotland the sup plies of Oats and ether grain were short ; but of Foreign' Wheat the import was seasonably good—viz., about 12,500 quarters, the whole of which passed fete the bonded warehouses. Fresh up, the supply of English Wheat from Essex and Cambridgeshire was somewhat more extensive than war reported on this day se'nnight; neverthe less it was by no means extensive, though of fair average quality. The stands being rather scan:ily filled with samples of both Bed and White, and the attendance of both town and country buyers on the increase, the demand for all kinds - of English Wheat was steady at fully, hut- at nothing" quotable beyond, the currencies obtained on this day se'nnight, and at which a good clearance was effected by the factors. The show of free foreign Wheat was again small ; yet, as the holders evinced no disposition to sell except at higher figures, the actual amount of business doing in that description of produce was small. However, we may cell the demand for most qualities-steady, and, in the sales effected, very full prices were again realised, especially for the finest descriptions of white. For grain in bond there was rather more inquiry, and prices were well supported in every instance. The stock of Wheat under lock new exceeds one million quarters ; of flour 600,000 cwt., nearly, or quite the whole of which will be released for home consumption on the passing of the measure now under Legislative consideration. Notwithstanding several cargoes• of Barley were reported fresh up this morning, the number of samples on offer was limited. For the finest malting quality we had a very steady demand, at 'idly last week's prices ; while the value of grinding and distilling sorts was well supported. Most of the late-arrivals of Barley have been now cleared off. Since our last report very few parcels of Malt have come to hand. Season-made qualities sold to-day at extreme figures ; while the sale for other hinds assumed a firmer tone - at late rates. At the close of the market a fair clearance of the- samples was effected. The arrival of Oats from all - parts reported up to Saturday evening was small, but since then several cm goes have come In from Ireland and our own coast. The quantity on offer to-day was rather Hafted, hence the finest parcels moved off freely at a trifle more money, the valise of the middling aid Inferior kinds being well supported. Al thousch the qeantity. of Beans was-not large, the trade was in a very sieggish state at barely last week's prices Orgy and Maple Peas steady, but Hog were a trifle lower. The FlQur trade was heavy at last week's prices, ERIAL MEASURE M t —Ch e yalior .• • ... 64s to 6 5 . )k , - 4 -- ;1:"h,1 -, ire and Lincolus h., Feed. 22 to 96 2 Po tatoe .•• • • • .... 30s Tougher and Cork, Black . ..... . 135 11!"°, Cork, White. 4 Scotch, Feea,... v: 'l6l 39° Beans.—Tior: 3411 4" l'igeone ". • • .• 43s 49° Pease—Grey .•• .. •-• ; . 33s 4 15 Maple ..... 41s 45 White •.•• • .. .488 °_3° Boilers ••• • . .• • 44s ar Ylour--Toven-made • 558 4,5 S u ffolk ...... . • Stookta & Norfolk 46s 41 FLOUR IN BOND.
