Several re b erns were ordered, and the House ad journed at 0 Pie o'clock. A respectaVe deputation from a portion of the Liberal electors of W estminster waited upon us this day to com plain of som e remarks which appeared in The Sun of last evening respecting the result of the election. They considered the sit in these remarks an unjust imputation was cast on the co aduct and motives of the electors in their opposition to g 2laptain Rous, asserted that only a small number of pm tt ectionists voted for General EVANS, that the motives v it tich guided the Liberal electors were in perfect accore Lance with the principles which they had long and con sc ientiously professed, and that nothing was further from their views than to play into the hand a of the Dukes of NEWCASTLE, RICH MOND, and B GUKINCTIAM, for the purpose of annoying Sir R. PEEL, t throwing obstacles in the way of a Government t hat had introduced measures approved without except itm by Whigs, Liberals, and Radicals. We must state, Airst of all, that we never attributed to the Liberal ele It ors of Westminster any improper mo tives, and that it is impossible to draw any such We beli eve t h em to be as con clusion from our remarks. firm and consist st , t in their principles as a t any f orm e r period, when • w .es tminster stood f orward repeatedly as one of the first a ni l most powerful opponents of bribery, corruption, and ; fot ten boroughs; but, at th e same time, we blamed their poi ;icy in takin g any steps which could in the remotest d eg ree embarrass 6ir ROBERT PEEL'S Government, or c MiSnger the repeal of th e most unjust and most obnoxi. Dug of all laws' that ever afflicted the working classes of the United Kingdom. The corn law question was the one which we kept prominetly in view, but we also. had regard to the entire new tariff, and to another ix Pesaro which the liberal electors of Westminster have ;strongly supported—a repeal of the wicked and ruin‘ us system by which the navy of England has been. so long controlled and crippled. We considered t Ivo carrying of such vast Pleasures of far greater imp( I•tance than the assertion and vindi cation of principles , iat a crisis when the hands of the Minister required tvi be strengthened, in place of being weakened by a di wit tion among his supporters ; and knowing that a gerieral election +V7I.!; near, we thought it infinitely better for. :the electors to isedt for that event, and in the tneantitr te to cheer on the, Minister, and aid him in eery possil de way against the powerful resist• ance of the Home t eLords, and the general hostility of the agricultural int 3; 7est. Our object was to gain our point while we had . rthe opportunity, and not allow the Lib_ rats to waste flrue in proving what could not be disputed, their revel mance for the great principles of civil and religious Ebert) r.: There is a time for 4:verything. " A bird in the ha ad is worth two in the bash." We wished to make our great: purpose secure, to possess the object within oar r taeh o l and not endanger the whole 6 : s ~ "0 41414 It would require only a few secondly, that there is a general and reasonable expecta tion of a dissolution of the Parliament now sitting, and that this expectation arises, from the insane perversity of the gentlemen in favour of protection ; thirdly, that the admirers • of the Ministerial proposition are husbanding their vigour for that great and conclusive effort; and, finally, that the ultimate abo lition of import and export duties is as utterly beyond a doubt as that the skies of summer are blue, or that the cowslips blossom in spring. With this knowledge the nation must bide its time, in security. The millenium of commerce is not a shibboleth—free-trade will be its as defeats like that of Westminster to weaken the authority and power of Sir ROBERT PEEL. The Tory Lords re joice at it—all the high Tory journals have for days been urging the Conservatives to vote for General Evarts. Their pressing entreaties cannot have been in vain, and would the defeat produce such rejoicing in the " Church and State" camp unless it were regarded as a heavy blow and great discouragement to Sir ROBERT PEEL ? Suppose every liberal constituency had the same occasion, and adopted the same policy as Westminster, would Sir ROBERT PEEL'S weight and influence not be utterly destroyed both in the Lords and Commons ? The Lords would reject the measure with the utmost disdain, for it is his power only they fear ; they would say, "We cannot submit to the dictation of Anti-Corn -law Leaguers and Radicals ; we will force on an appeal to the country, and then it will be seen whether the affairs of this great nation are to be go verned by illegal associations and destructives, or by the principles dictated by our venerable Constitution. We admit thin is an extreme case, but still it is the duty of journalists to resist evil at the beginning, and to lend every assistance to a Minister whose plans are unexceptionable, and who has sacrificed political ties, personal friendships, and his entire authority as a Conservative leader for the purpose of carrying great measures, which that journalist has, in season and out of season, advocated for the last twenty years. Had The Sun followed any other course, it might justly be branded as a renegade, denounced as a brawler for principles which it never expected to see accomplished, and charged with the crime of rejecting the invaluable benefits for which it had so faithfully contended, on the miserable pre tence that they were conferred by a Minis ter who was once a Tory. There would be an utter want of honesty in such a plea. What we want, and what the great body of the people want, are good measures and good Government; for this purpose we have supported Sir ROBERT PEEL, because we are fully convinced that by weakening his authority and thereby throwing a doubt on the noble un dertakings which have distinguished his Ministry, we endanger in the most serious manner the accom plishment of objects dear to every friend of his country. The loss of Captain Rous for Westmin ster is great in another respect. It is a general loss to the nation. He is put into the Admiralty as a naval reformer ; his services every sailor, and every landsman too, will say are much wanted ; and, without a seat in the House, he might contend with his colleagues at the Board, and state his reasons, but his work would only be half done. The abuses in the navy would still prevail to their utmost extent, and the Minister might, in a fit of disappointment, give up his scheme when he finds that the electors of Westminster, so determinedly opposed to flogging in the navy, and every other abuse in that great national system of defence, appear lukewarm in the cause, and have rejected the very man commissioned to investigate these frightful abuses. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 3,000 to 4,000 bales, all to the trade. There was no alteration in prices, but buyers rather had the advantage. The sales in cluded 300 bales of Egyptian at 5%d. to 7d. per lb., 200 Surat at 2%d. to 3d., and the rest American at 3 3 / 4 d. to 5%d. per lb. There was but little done in Shares, but pre vious rates were current. The Commissioners appointed to report upon the most ad visable gaue . e to be adopted in the case of all new railways, having made a statement in favour of the narrow gauge, the Great Western shares have suffered to some extent, and the lines which will obtain branches on the gauge recommended. benefit, of course, by the decision. It is some time since this matter was first debated, and it is greatly to be re gretted, seeing its importance, that Government did not two or three years ago endeavour to enforce uniformity. We say this without any reference to the merits of the broad or narrow gauge, and simply on the assumption that one general gauge for the United Kingdom is highly desir able. From the known talent of Mr. Brunel, and the excel lent working of the broad gauge, one might almost be dis posed to think that be looked more to the future, when the extraordinary increase of traffic may require the most ex tended accommodation, than to the present time. Some relief for the substantial, but at present most cruelly inconvenienced class of the commercial community, holding what are termed second-class bills, is expected to accrue from the stated intention of the Bank of England to extend the deviation of its loans to the 9th of April. By that time, no doubt, the money market will have become much easier, if indeed the pressure does not entirly subside ere then. , • The efforts making to procure an amendment a the bank ruptcy-laws, are still actively pursued in the City; and the result, it is hoped, will be to place the credit system, which is unavoidable in such a country as this, on a sounder and safer basis. The Funds are looking decidedly better to-day, thanks to the anticipated easing of the money market. Con sols have been 96% to 96% for present transfer, and 964 to 1 / for time. This is 1 ,4 to 4 per cent. better than yesterday. The Reduced Three perCenta. have been 96 1 A to 96%. Bank Stock is up to 208 1 ,4 and 209, and East India Stock to 259 and 260. The premium on Exchequer- bills has been 365. to 395. The formation of a Ministry has not improved the value of Spanish Stock, the Five per Cents. being 26% %, and the Three per Cents. 374 5. Mexican Bonds have been quoted at 31, and Grenada 23 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 69%. - Shares have been a little firmer. ONE CLOSING BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK. PRICES.

We do not ascribe any immediate importance to these po pular expressions of sentiment ; we consider them only valuable as harbingers of an inevitable, an ultimate, and a permanent demonstration: we regard them as efficacious in disseminating those doctrines of liberality and enlightenment with which the commercial and political, and even social world, must henceforth be governed ; we estimate them as of exceeding import ance, inasmuch as they are indications of that earnest co-operation on the part of the multitude, without which the admirable policy of the Premier can exer cise but a portion of its generous and benign in fluence. Any additions to the number of free traders in the Lower House is but of secondary interest at this juncture : the necessity of a general election within a very short period from the present time—possi bly within two months—rendering the advocates of the proposA measures almost indifferent to the result of =re individual struggles. The necessity of a general election to which we make this reference is, of course, contingent upon the perseverance of what Sir CHARLES NAPIER almost christened the "turnip-headed" Protec tionists in appealing to the sense of the country before sueh measures be passed into a decree. It is not our in- tention to comment upon this preposterous scheme of the non-suited agriculturists ; it is not our intention to stigmatise it as an alternative which must, if resorted to, prove a mot pernicious precedent—an alternative diametrically" opposed to the principles of our legislation. The naked proposition is itself, like the tatterdemalion regiment of FALSTAFF—" a troop of impotency"—their lank forms as unfleshed and as harmless as their "swords of lath and daggers of shaving." Never did a class testify such mad imufficency—such monstrous aptitude for the ridiculous ; its leaders have placed themselves in a situation of the most unenviable absurdity. They behold their stronghold Monopoly about to be committed to destruction, its innermost re cesses undermined, the train laid down, the fusee lighted ; and now, in the very frenzy of their disappointment, they become little less than de lirious—they insist upon themselves descending into the excavations—they furiously demand the power of seating themselves upon the barrels of gunpowder before those combustibles are ignited. This, in sober reality, is the sum total of their cry for an appeal to the sense of the populace ; they are enraged at their exclu sive system being exploded ; they will not remain con tented until they themselves are also " blown up " most thoroughly. In these diseased. sentiments originates the expectation of a general election ; and from that dull and stolid pertinacity which is peculiar only to Pigs and Protectionists, and to which the latter have recently ex hibited their affection, there is but a very trivial probability of the abolition principles being passed through both Houses of Parliament until they have been formally submitted to the voice of the great political under-current—the people. It is from a conviction of this circumstance that sundry con stituencies, such for example as the constituency of Chichester, have reserved their enthusiasm for the oncoming outburst of the nation ; and in this manner some two or three proteges of the landlord clique have found an opportunity of sneaking through the lobby of St. Stephen's, and seating themselves (right , worshipful and right worthy associates) cheek-by-jowl with such scape-grace unfortunates as the Member for Bristol, or the Member for Oxford. In some instances, however, the earnestness of the electors in ap proving Sir ROBERT'S very startling behaviour, has exceeded their carelessness of a mere momentary victory ; they have given their opponents a slight flavour of the unpalateable draught which they are con cocting for themselves, and with which—so sure as they clamber up the various hustings—they will be drenched and saturated. Such a bitter foretaste for these luckless sticklers for the corn-duty, was the return—the proud, the triumphant, and unanimous return—of Lord MORPETIL for the West Riding of Yorkshire. Possibly a few more simi lar demonstrations would be enough to sicken the mal contents of any further repetition of the dose : however, the endeavour is scarcely worth the trouble of making. For, although a dissolution of the present Parlia ment would be, to a certain limit, detrimental to the interests of our poorer countrymen, by delaying the settlement of the question under discussion, the sub sequent success of the free traders—a success of which no sane person can entertain the merest scintilla of a doubt—will be trebly glorious; it will impart to the Act in which those principles will be embodied a wonderful and indefinable charm—it will be gold purified through an ordeal of fire. Of that description of careless consti tuency which we have already particularised—careless of its own quiescent but Herculean strength, and indifferent to the ephemeral triumph of its antagonists— Gloucestershire promises to afford another specimen ; for, although the Hon. F. CHARTERIS, the young Mem ber who recently resigned his seat as the representative of that county, from the late alteration in his opinions, and upon whom the Prime Minister uttered, the other evening,theii such a f2rvent panegyric—although, we say, t 'or th ° a n t . Cl identicalasi Tr: division, would th ebe Liberal re serving e. serving he great strutgglie v w hiieghour i s tinti l the foreseen—and a t r h r e i v a A I o Marquis rq of the u i sof WORCESTER, the heir to the BEAUFORT possessions, e will in all likelihood be p erm i tte d , accord. to the cant cant phrase, to " walk ove r th e course." Dolt;setshire in like manner, is partially abandon by Lord ASHLEY • the Noble Lord doubtless awaiting the fitter and th e loftier opportunity. Thus again Rutland was for the present contemptuously - left to the private and obscure nomination and the private mind obscure election _of a certain Mr. GEORGE FINCH, a humdrum small- talker in favour of " protection to British agriculture." Captain HOWARD VTSE likeaise offers himself as a candidate fur South ICoribunapion- shire amidst the silence and indifference of the mass.

(Before Vice-Chancellor WIGRAM. ) !FRANK V. WALLER. The case of the Welwyn Benefit Society was mentioned this morning by his HONOUR, who said he wished to state to the parties the conclusion to which he had come on the subject of costs. He was bound to say that he could not give costs to either party. They had thought proper to enter into a contract; they had formed a club subject to the most strin gent rules. The 19th rule permitted alteration of the rules so long as there was no tendency to dissolve the club ; the 27th continued the existence of the society so long as three members were willing to support it; and the Bth said that any surplus beyond what was wanted for the current expen diture should be accumulated. His Honour said they had always contemplated an accumulating fund ; but that was no reason why they should not take into consideration the expediency of making a division of that fund. One party had pursued that course, and it .had been pressed to a Chan cery suit. The act done was perfectly harmless in itself. The other party sought to enforce an extreme right, and deprive the seven members of that money which they had been paying in for many years, and all for suggesting an act of expediency. The plaintiffs said they were excluded, but held that thy were not thereby deprived of the right over the society s fund. It had been argued on their part that they had a right to secede and withdraw their money ; but his Honour thought there was more difficulty on that point than might at first sight appear to the Learned Counsel. It was ex pressly stated in the rules that the society should not be dis solved so long as three members were willing to support it. Here appeared the contradictory character of these rules ; a member could not secede; what then must he do? He must continue to make his monthly payments ; but if he failed in these how were they to be enforced? According to one of the rules, payment was to be enforced by expulsion, so that the relief sought is at length got by an act that is im proper. But as his Honour was not giving a decision in the case at that time, he said be would reserve his opinion of the rules and the means of relief they gave to the members. As for the defendants, he said, their cause was one which no court of justice could look at. No court could enforce their act without being guilty of plunder. His Honour doubted whether the 19th rule was a regulation which any court could enforce. His Honour strongly advised the parties to have recourse to some gentlemen in the neighbourhood, and settle their case by arbitration ; for if he wound it up, and divided the unds in proper proportions, the account would be very complicated and the expenses heavy. One of the Counsel said that three of the members were removed from the locality, and there was a doubt as to how their connexion with the club would be affected by it; but his Honour refused to give any opinion. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAN.) (Sittings at Nisi Prius, Guildhall, before Lord DEN➢IAN and a Common Jury.) QUIZ NET V. DAY. This was an action taken by the plaintiff, who is a French. man and a lithographic printer in colours, residing at Paris, against the defendant for the recovery of a certain sum, as remuneration for work and labour done in his (plaintiff's) capacity as lithographic printer. It appeared from coun sel's statement that the plaintiff sent specimens from Paris of ornamental lithographic printing in colours to the defendant to London, the result of which was, that defendant wrote to him, expressing his satisfaction at the. specimens, and re questing him to come to London, and work for him, for which he was to have 61. a week while in London, and 3/. a week, if he should go to Paris, where, it was agreed upon in writing, that he should not stay longer than four weeks in any one year. The plaintiff alledged that the work was done to the defendant's satisfaction, but that defendant refused to pay him for certain portions of the work done in Paris, and also for the use of certain printing presses, &c. The defendant's executors contended that they were not liable to any claim, upon the ground that the plaintiff, when he went to Paris, was not to come back any more; and also that he had committed a breach of the agreement, and had therefore put an end to it, inasmuch, when he went to Paris he remained away several months, instead of four weeks. Defendant's counsel, there. fore, contended that the defendants were not liable, and that the plaintiff could have the presses whenever he liked; and that he did not come tack to London until after the death of defendant, and it was only then he made any claim. Specimens of the prints were exhibited in court, and some of them were very beautiful. There w, re no witnesses called for the defence. The jury found for the plaintiff 54/., arrears of salary to the 4th of February, and 65/., the value of the presses. SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY (Myr Mr. Under. Sheriff BURCHELL.) BLUNDEN V. YATES. This was an action brought to recover the sum of 201. on a bill of exchange. The defence was, that the plaintiff had accepted a machine newly invented by defendant. in satis 7 faction of debt; in reply, however, it was contended there was no such bargain, and that the value of the-machine was not more than 4/. For the plaintiff witnesses were called, who proved that the plaintiff had invented a machine for the blocking of beoz-fronts, and that plaintiff, who was a currier and blocker, sent to defendant two or three times to induce him to part with the machine. It was stated that the invention was very valuable, as twelve dozen pair might be blocked in a day, whereas not more than three dozen could be done by hand. It was particularly adapted to blocking very stiff leather, which other machines would scarcely affect. A smith, who had made part of the iron -work, had offered 251. for the in vention. The only one at all similar was brought out in 1840 by a Frenchman, who obtained 80/. each at the tithe. De fendant's was not made of such expensive materials, and was valued at 301. For the defendant, the principal witnesses were a person in the employ of Messrs, Robertson and Co , successors to Bramah and Co., with whom be had been twenty years, and a machine-maker, named Green.' The former said he had never seen a machine like the defendant's before, but although he did not understand blocking, he considered that it would not answer the purpose 'intended, and, as a piece of machi nery, it was valueless. Green said he had sold more than 120 machines; his charges were 71. and 91. One on defendant's construction, made of brass instead of iron, would be worth 10/. 10s. Witness's was on the lever, defendant's on the screw principle. The latter had mon. power. Defendant's was made of iron, which would stain the leather, when damp. H. Smith, a bootmaker, .aid that defendant's wachine was only worth 3/. 104. Mr. IN. 03IAS, for the defendant, contended that the ques tion of value could nut arise on a bargain to take the article in liquidation of a debt; but, even if it could, there could •be no doubt it was at least 201. The UNDER-SIIERIFF left it to the jury to say whether there bad been a contract for sale, a fixed price, in liqui datim of the debt, or whether the plaintiff had taken it without such an agreement. The jury gave a verdict for the defendant. CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY) John Williams. a well-dressed young man, was placed at the bar, charged with having attempted to commit a robbery at Messrs. Clarke and Massans, linen-drapers, of 29, High street, Islington. _ _ It appeared that on Wednesday evening, Wright, of the N division, was in High-street, Islington, in private clothes, when he saw the prisoner and two other well-known thieves looking in at shop windows, and following ladies to pick pockets. He (Wright) concealed himself in a door way, until he saw the prisoner and his compa nions stop at the shop - window of the prosecu tors, when the prisoner broke a pane of glass. Wright immediately came from his hiding place, and on being seen by the thieves they raised a cry of " Bobby's a coming," and they ran off. They were pursued, and the pri soner was taken into custody, after a resistance. John M'Gregor, shopman to Messrs Clarke and Co., proved having heard the glass break, and seeing the prisoner with his hand through the window. Several officers identified the prisoller . as a known thief. Mr. Vaun, the solicitor, questioned the witnesses, but at length said that he would not combat with such strong evi dence—it would only be wasting the time of the Court. Mr. GREENWOOD inquired what the cry of " Bobby's a coming" meant? Wright—They call the policemen Bobby, after Sir Robert Peel. The prisoner was committed to the House of Correction, with hard labour, for three months. WESTMINSTER ELECTION. (THIS DAY.) DECLARATION OF THE POLL. Two o'clock having been appointed for officially declaring the result of yesterday's polling, at that, hour the High Bailiff of Westminster, accompanied by the successful candi date and Captain Roue, appeared on the hustings. The Man BAILIFF then stated the numbers. They were— For General Sir De Lacy Evans • 3,843 For Captain Rous 2,906 Majority. .. ... 937 It was his duty, therefore, to declare General Sir De Lacy Evans duly elected. The Gallant GENERAL then came forward and thanked the electors for the honour they had confered on him. In a somewhat lengthy speech, embracing no great variety of topics, he condemned the policy pursued by that portion of the public press which had supported Captain Rous in the election. He complained also that the oath of identity had been tendered to every voter, not even the venerable Mr. Byng, Member for Middlesex, being excepted. The speaker concluded by again thanking the electors. Captain Rous then came forward amidst great uproar and partial cheers. He said it was not his intention to enter upon the discussion of the topics his Gallant Friend had ad verted to in his address, but simply to express his thanks to those who had recorded their votes in his (Capt. Rous's) favour. He hoped his Gallant Friend, now that the electors had re turned him, would give them more satisfaction than he had done. Now that the battle was over, he (Captain Rous) de clared that he had no ill-feeling, but that he wished the electors every happiness and prosperity, and that h is gallan t antagonist would live long to enjoy their sympathy and support. Though he (Captain Rous) was down now, he hoped to rise soon again in some other place, and in the meantime he would beg leave to bid them adieu.—(The Gallant Captain, who was assailed with every manifestation of ill feeling, as far as uproar- and noise were concerned, and whose remarks, in consequence, were most imperfectly heard, then retired.) After a short speech from Mr. Healey, a farmer from Rut landshire, in support of free trade, on the motion of General Evans, a vote of thanks was given to the High Bailiff, which being duly responded to, the assembly separated.

EXTENSIVE FAILURE.—LIVERP OOL , WEDNESDAY.— A most extensive failure is publicly announced here to-day, the firm of Rockdale, supposed to be the most extensive soap-boilers in Eng lam'. Rumour speaks of their liabilities as being immense in amount; it is said to the extent of nearly 200,000/. Such a failure as this must, of necessity, involve many other houses dependent upon it. eleveral firms are mentioned, but we abstain from mentioning names. We may state as a fact that Messrs.

We have intelligence from Madrid to the 11th inst. The Chamber of Deputies met on that day, when two royal ordonnances were laid before them—one accepting the resignation of General NARVAEZ as Minister of War, and the other appointing General Emmet,' to his post. The President of the Chan.ber then announced that, a, the new Ministry was not completed, he would adjourn the sitting, which.accordingly took place. Communica tions have since been received at Paris, which announce the formation of a new Cabinet. The following are the latest particulars :—The Marquis DE MIRAFLORES is appointed President of the Council and Mi nister of Foreign Affairs ; General RONCALI, - Mi nister' of War ; M. IsTURITZ, Minister of the Interior.; M. TOPETE, Minister of the Marine; the Marquis DE CASA RIERA, Minister of Finances. The Minister of Justice is not yet named. The Mar,- qtiis DE MIRAFLORES was Ambassador at London. and Paris at the signing of the quadruple alliance. -General RONCALI was the defender of General LEON before the court-martial which condemned him to death. M. ISTURITZ was President of the Council at the time of the revolution at La Granja. M. TOPETE is one of tha members of the Supreme Tribunal of War and the Marine, and is reckoned one of the best efficers of the Spanish navy. The Marquis M. DE CA.s.s. RIERA is one of the richest bankers of Spain. He has never been tried as a statesman, but all men do homage to his probity and independence of character. He is at this moment in Paris. The QUEEN had charged General NARVAEZ to form a new Cabinet. He em ployed the 10th and 11th inst. in executing his mis sion. He applied to several senators and various Members of Congress, and particularly the Marquis DE MIRAFLORES and M. ISTUP.ITZ, the chief of the Opposition, formerly President of the Council; but he everywhere met with such difficulties as he found im possible to surmount. The QUEEN then summoned the Marquis DE MIRAFLORES and General RONCALI. They undertook, it is said, to form a Ministry, in which none of the old Ministers should be included. The other intelligence from Madrid is not important. Considerable anxiety, however, prevails as to the real cause of a change of Ministry, and the object of NARVAEZ in giving up his place as Minister of War. The Funds were depressed in consequence, the Three per Cents. closing at 31 for cash, at 313 at GO days, and the Five per Cents. at 233 at GO days. The Paris papers are chiefly occupied with the debate in the English House of Commons and the change of Ministry in Spain. They give rather long extracts from the speeches, with running comments, possibly amusing to 'Frenchmen, but of little interest to the English reader. We give a few remarks from the Can stitutionnel as; a sp. imen :—" It is impossible to imagine anything more pitiable than the arguments used by the agriculturists. , One predicts, as a consequence of the repeal of the corn-la :•, the loss of Cana is, the Antilles, and, in the end, lliiidostan. Another represents Russia, including even. Siberia, as covering herself with bread corn in order to inundate Great Britain, who will have nothing more to pay for it than the cost_ f the transport. A third, in order to prove the necessity of the corn law, occupies whole hours in gravely reading petitions which the manufacturers o:' France, England, or America, may have talciresAA to their respective Governments in sup port of their claims to protective duties. All these fine speeches resemble each other, and it is very rarely that any parth:an of the :Ministry condescends to rise and leduce these iricoherenees to their real value. Thus the &bet( h (hag on to a tedious length, witheut any interest to the jublic, or exciting in the Douse of Commons are) thirg more than the petty personal ques tions which the intestine wsr of the Tory party gives ground for at every moment." The Ministerial crisis in Spain appoars to be as much a m) story at Paris as here. The .i\etienal thus adverts to it : " A very unexpected piece of news has arrived from Spain. Narvaez has given in his resignation, his colleaolie. have followed his example, and the Queen appears to have consented without difficulty to the dissolution of this Ministry. It is added that she liss charged General Roncali and M. Mi raflores to form a Cabinet. What is there under all thi-? We cannot say, and eve have not the slightest curiosity to know. We have seen this eillagiug, sanguinary counter-revolution Cabinet attack the ei , nstitution and trample it under loot; claim and obtain arbitrary power; exercise for a leenth of time the most atrocious acts of violence; condemn to death without trial ; imagine conspiracies in order to get rid of troublesome opperents; proscribe, es the fancy seized it; confiscate when it pleased; destroy municipalities and the national guard ; suppress the jury, arrest journalists, and keep them for months under the menace of transportation give up the whole of Spain to pillage; substitute the edge of the sword for law ; and this Cabinet, thus sullied with to many political crimes, we have beheld honoured avith the good graces ofthe Queen. An intrigue at present trips the Government up, and mites it Lathe ground !Noble spectacle! Great morality of the Monarchy ! How holiest it renders society! how happy the populations! how glorious the na tion I Bow lofty and resplendent Spain is under the conduct of the widow and daughter of Ferdinand !" It appears from some of the journals, that the great victory obtained by the Anti• Corn-law League in this country has caused great excitement in the south of France, where monopoly does so much injury, and that a scheme has been proposed for establishing a Free-Trade Association. We suspect, however, that the laws of France, as well as the' well-known sentiments of the Court, will effectually obstruct delaying such plans. These associations are not of much use without public meetings, and these the Court and Cabinet might think dangerous. The Coutrier Francais, we believe, takes a correct view of the question:— "Meetings have been held at 'Bordeaux with the intent of establishing a Free-Trade Association. A young man of talent, M. Eastia, who has been the first to make , France acquainted with the organisation and labours of the English League, has communicated to these meetings a plan for an anti-protectionist league, which' several journals have quoted. The ideas elicited by M. Bastia have had already numerous adherents, and we hope they will be still more widely adopted. It must not, however, be disguised that a Free-Trade League will meet in this countryan almost insur mountable obstacle at the threshold. What, in fact, has been its great means of action itt England ? Agitation by meetings—conversion of the masses of the people to free trade principles by freedom ofispeech. But do we possess this right of agitating the masses by freedom of speech, by disseminating among collected bodies of the people the grand and pacific lessons of liberty ? we are not free to speak. We are scarcely free to write. The English monopolisers have indeed been guilty of one grave and irreparable act of oblivion, they have forgotten to gag those upon whom they prey. Ours haVe been more prop dent, they have deprived us of even' the means of complaining. It may be said, perhaps, what does this signify? . If the law takes from us the means of enlightening the messes upon whom this de plorable system of protection weighs so heavily, we may it • will be said do without them, and convert the higher classes of society, the larntholders, tl3e great manufacturers, the owners of forests, &c.; in a word, convert the privileged men themselves. Can it be believvd, however, that this is an easy WIC; Can it, we may rather say, be believed pos sible? Where would the Anti-Corn-law League be now, if it had only the cla:sl3 of landlords to act upon? Can it be be lieved that it would have met with numerous adherents, and collected atunclant .subscriptions from this privileged class? No doubt it has ends d in converting the most enlightened men of the aristocrat iC party. But let it be well observed, that these conversions! have been extremely tardy; they may be said to have been n tide in extremis, when it - became evi dent to the clear. sight ed (we do not talk of the blind) that the idea of freedom we. stengthened in the country, when it became visible to all ey es that a longer resistance to the in vasion of this idea could only end in a catastrophe."

This Committee met to-day a little before one o'clock, Mr. Strutt, chairman. CLXTHEROE JUNCTION. Mr. COATES appeared for the promoters of this line, which was unopposed. The proofs of having deposited the plans and sections and books of reference were then put in, and the standing orders were declared to have been complied with. 1 LANCHEST3S7L AND SOUTHAMPTON. Mr. ELLICOMBE appeared for the promoters. Several petitions were read by the clerk for which no ap pearance had been entered. Mr. Bui appeared in support of several petitions against the Bill. Mr. ELLICOMBE called the witnesses to prove the unop posed formal points of the petition in favour of the scheme. Sub-Committee No. 4. On the nreeting of this Committee at twelve o'clock the following Members were present—Sir W. lleathcote (Chair man), Mr. Shirley, and Mr. Acland. MITCHAM AND SOUTH-WESTERN. This was a Bill to make a line from the South-Western Railway at Battersea to Mitcham. The estimated cost is 50,000/., the length of the line being three miles thirty-one furlongs. Mr. Alexabder Ross is the Engineer, and Messrs. Gregory the Parliamentary agents. One of the witnesses, who was to provo the service of a notice, being absent, the case stood over. • SOMERSETSIIIRE MIDLAND. It will be remembered that on Friday last this case came before the Committee, and stood over on account of the absence of certain witnesses who were to prove the service of notices. These witnesses being now present the case was proceeded with. It was found, however, that the datum line was not referred to any fixed point, and the Committee were of opinion that in this respect the standing orders were not complied with. - There being no witness present to prove that the owners, lessees and occupiers of property, upon whom notices were proved to have been served, were all the owners, &c., with whose property the line would interfere with, the further consideration of the Bill stood over till Monday next. LANCASHIRE AND NORTH YORICSHIRE. This case, which stood over from last Friday, on account of the absence of certain parties opposing the Bill, again came before the Committee this day. Messrs. Dyce, Hall, and Co., were the agents for the petitioner, William Marley, of Blackheath, who opposed the Bill on the ground that the plans were not correct. Sub-Committee No. 5. The Sub-Committee met at twelve o'clock. The members present were, Mr. Home Drummond, Chairman ; Mr. T. Egerton, and Mr. Compton. NEWMARKET AND CRESTERFORD. TheTHAtamAN announced that the standing orders had been complied with in this case. MIDLAND AND EASTERN COUNTIES (CAIVIDRIDGE TO WEEDON). The object of the petitioners in this case is to obtain a Bill to enable them to make a railway from the Eastern Counties Railway at Cambridge to the London and Birming ham Elie at Weedon. The length of the proposed line is fifty-three miles, and the estimated cost 750,0001 The Company were provisionally registered on the 29th of July, and the local agent, Mr. John Chinery, proved through the witnesses the usual preliminaries. This line was opposed, and the first allegation was, that a gradient described as level should have been one in five hur.dred and fourteen. This point and sever al others were then abandoned on the suggestion of the Chairman, that the agent against the line should go to amore important objection. The next allega tion was that a gradient described as 1 in 330 should have been described as 1 in 445. Mr. EGERTON said he hoped he (the agent against the line) would not go on with such objections, as it was a waste of time and money. The agent said if he had to consult his own judgment he would not proceed with them. ZILMAELNET ZITNCTION. This case, which came on yesterday, was adjourned until this day by the Committee, to consider whether they would entertain the objections of the opponents to the Bill. The opinion of the CHAIRMAN was, that it depended on the importance of the objections raised. The petitioner was a Mr. Murrell, who is engineer to a com peting line, as we stated yesterday, and it was objected to hearing his petition, on the ground that he was not a share holder or sufficiently interested in the case. It was also stated that a petition could not be heard, on the ground that in a petition the public should be interested. The Committee decided that the petition should be heard. The objection that widows were th,t so designated in signing the subscription contract was overruled, and the second ob. jection, that all the shareholders had not signed the sub scription contract with their Christian names in full length, one having signed F. Burke, was also considered invalid. The Committee then decided that the standing orders were complied with. THE SUN" EXPRESSES. We were this morning again,indebted to Mr. Rutherglen, Buchanan-street, for a copy of the Express Edition of The Sun of Thursday.— Glasgow Saturday Post. We have again to return our acknowledgments to the Commander of the Rose, Captain Gilmore' for the early re ceipt of our parcel containing the London journals of Tuesday morning, which we received at seven o'clock on Wednesday evening.

We received at one o'clock to-day, by the Cork Steam- Ship Company's splendid vessel the "Ximrod," Captain Pile, files of the Liverpool papers of yesterday, and an Ex press Edition of The Sun of Tuesday evening, bringing, the adjourned debate on the Corn-law Bill to a late hour.—! CQrh Southern Reporter.

Mr. Young has been par ticularly fortunate in his expresses, and we trust his ener getic exertions will meet with due encouragement.—Carlisle Patriot. A committee of the Treasury was, it appears, held at the Bank yesterday morning, at which it was settled that the period of accommodation by loans shall be extended to the 9tia of April, a period of seven weeks. This is a well timed and judicious measure; and it will unquestionably en oourage the private bankers to deal more liberally with their customers. In all descriptions of trade, ho wever , pru d ence will prescribe-the drawing bills for some time to come at no longer dates than can possibly be avoided. At the period to which Bank loans are now extended the dividends will be in course of payment, and assist, as far as they go, in restoring the equilibrium to the money-market. DEATH OF GENERAL SIR WILLIAM H. CLINTON, G.C.8., LIEUT.-GOVERNOR OP CHELSEA HOSPITAL —We have to record the decease of this gallant officer, one of the oldest, as well as one of the most distinguished generals of the British army. The melancholy event took place on Sun day morning, at the family seat near Royston, Herts. Sir William was the son of Sir Henry Clinton, G.C.8., -Com mander-in-Chief of the land forces in America against Wash ington and the other Republican commanders. lie married, in 1797, the daughter of the Ist Earl of Sheffield, by whom he leaves a large family, including one son, who is Lieute nant-Colonel in the Grenadier Guards. The deceased officer entered the army in 1784, and was present at twelve sieges and encounters. In 1842 he was presented to the office of Lieutenant-Governor of Chelsea Hospital (salary 4001. per annum), now at the disposal of the Government. In 1826 Sir William was returned as representative for the borough . of Newark, by his kinsman the Duke of Newcastle, 'and con tinued in possession of the seat till 1829. It should be added that the late Duke of York was for many years on terms of intimacy with Sir William, who had the honour of being one of the aides-de-camp to his Royal Highness. MURDERS AND SUICIDE AT CAMBERWELL.—Yester day an inquiry took place before Mr. W. Carter, at the Bricklayers' Arms Tavern, Southampton-street, Camberwell, as to the deaths of Mr. P. Horean, and 11. and W. Horeau, his sons, murdered by him on Monday morning, previous to his own suicide. The three bodies were lying side by side, on a mattress in the room where the dreadful acts were com mitted. The father and eldest son presented a ghastly spec tacle,from the tremendous wounds on the throats, while the infant seemed but in a sleep. Mrs. W. A. C. Horeau, the widow, produced the following letter which she found in her husband's pocket-book after his death. It was addressed "Mrs. Smith, 2, Duke's -court, Bow-street, London," but had no date :—" My dear Eliza—l gratefully thank you for what you have done for me and my poor family. When my little ones are grown up, explain to them that the sight of their suffering was too much for me. Perhaps when yon go the long journey whence no traveller returns, my family may do something for them, as they have done for poor Jules (another son who went abroad), who perhaps is no more alive by this time. As for you, my good girl, prosper in life as you de serve, is the most earnest wish of Pim." After the produc tion of some further evidence, the jury returned the following verdict :—" We find a verdict of wilful murder againstPhilaret Horeau, as regards the death of Helvetius and Wm. Horeau, and we find that the said Philaret Horeau destroyed himself while in a state of temporary insanity, produced by extreme privation and want." The inquiry lasted nearly six hours., and the room was much crowded. CASE OF' STABBING AT CRIPPLEGATE.—This case of brutality was yesterday morning examined at Guildhall, be fore Aldermen Farebrother and Hunter. The culprit, a man named Feacey, about 50 years of age, was charged with running a carving knife into the left side of a man named Martin, between the 11th and 12th ribs, penetrating to the lower part of the thorax, within the cavity of the chest. According to the evidence of Susannah Emberse, the quarrel originated in jealousy. Martin was subsequently examined, though in a very precarious state. The prisoner was con veyed in a cab to the Compter, to await the fate of Martin. DEATHOF MR.
