The Proprietors avid Editors of this Paper are desirous, on the eve of the MEETING OF A PARLIAMENT so important to the principles of FREE TRADE, to call the attention la f their Subscribers and of the Public to the claims of the WEEKLY CHRONICLE as the Advocate of an enlightened Policy, ( n all, questions which relate to our industrial economy, and to the political progress and social happiness of the People. The Weekly Chronicle has, from tke period at which it came into the hand's of its present Proprietors and Conductors, faithfully and firmly supported these principles—seeking at once to carry them out wit)i, j ut violence or personal rancour, and to establish Itself in the respect, not only of its Readers, but even of its Political Antagonists, 'oy a strict regard for Truth and Fair Play, on which grounds alone, as its Editors feel confidant, can any well-intending party be ade quately and successfully supported. As a Newspaper, the Weekly Chronicle will be found to contain a larger quantity of carefully compiled and well digested reading matter, than any of its contemporaries ; and it has ever given, and will continue to give, the fullest digests of the proceedings in Par liament, consistent with its limits, which are of the largest size re cognised by law. . _ The importance of this in the coming session must be evident; whilst in early Intelligence of Political Movements the Weekly Chronicle will maintain its lead, possessing, as it does, peculiar and exclusive sources of information, which its entire independence from personal influences and party trammels, enable it to give without mystification or reserve. One of thd features of the Weekly Chronicle are the popular Letters of COTTON TWIST, principally devoted to questions of Free Trade and Industrial Economy, and of which a Third Series were commenced with, and will be continued from week to week throughout the present year.

The intelligence brought by the Acadia from the United States is only what we anticipated—of the most unfavourable description. Measures, on the proposition of General CAse, had been brought into the Senate for strengthening the navy, embodying the militia, and putting the country generally in a state of defence. Resolutions to that effect were laid before the House, and it was ordered unanimously that they should stand over for discussion. In the same House the annexation of Texas had been sanc tioned by a large majority. Texas is to be admitted into a full share of all the rights enjoyed by the other American states ; in other words, notwithstand ing what has been said by Mr. WEBSTER and others of the Whig party, Texas, with all the horrors of slavery, is declared an integral portion to the union. The Whigs evidently have no power to stem the tide of encroachment, aggression, and annexation, which is now the rage of the Democrats, the advocates for war, and the enemies of England. Indeed, it ap pears that tbe, hostile spirit which prevails is stronger even in the Senate, usually a calm and moderate assembly, than in the other Howse, where the Demo crats were supposed to predominate. On the 30th of December the Oregon question was brought under discussion on the following resolutions, proposed by Mr. HANNEGAN, of Indiana : "Resolved,—That the country included within the pa rallels of 42 and 54 North latitude, and extending from the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Ocean, known as the terri tory of Oregon, is tie property, and part and parcel of the territories, of the United States. " Resolved,—That there exists no power in this Govern ment to transfer its soil and the allegiance of its citizens to the dominion, authority, control, and subjection of any fo reign power, prince, state, or sovereignty. " Resolved , — Th at the abandonment or surrender of any portion of the territory of Oregon would be an abandonment of the honour, character, and the best interests of the Ame rican people." Mr. CALIIOUN proposed other resolutions as an amendment, by which it was declared that the PRE.. sum-NT has the power, with the advice of the Senate, to make treaties, and that the settlement of boundary lines is embraced in this power ; that in offering, in a spirit of peace and harmony, the 49th parallel as the dividing line between the United States and Great Britain, the PRESIDENT exercised powers rightfully belonging to him, and acted for the best interests of the country. lie was for peace, if it could be ho nourably preserved—for negotiation, if negotiation was to be had ; and if it could not be, he would still pursue such a course as would throw the onus of war upon our adversaries. Ile believed the Executive desirous of peace, and meant to co-operate with him. If war came he should be found with his coun try ; but he held those to a fearful responsibility who would rashly thrust war upon us. The mover of the resolutions, who seemed determined on war at any price, said, " For one, he hoped that they would never stop short of the cannon's mouth. A singular state of things existed in the course pursued with regard to Oregon as contrasted with that of Texas. Yet both these subjects had their birth at the same time, both were cradled in the Baltimore convention. For Texas there could not be too much haste. Texas we must have at once. Texas up to the Nuesces. But this was with Mexico ; the moment England is in question it is another thing, For one he never would vote for any treaty that stopped short of 54 deg. 40 min." After some speeches, not varying much in tone from other Members, the resoltttions were laid upon the table without the amendments. In the House of Representatives Mr. DOUGLAS, anairman of the Com mittee on Territories, presented a Bill in relation to Oregon, Oiich was referred to :the committee of the whole House on the state of the Union, ordered to be printed, and made the special or der for Tuesday, the Gth of January, and to remain such special order until disposed of. This Bill is in direct violation of the existing convention between England and the United States, and goes much further than. even the Message of the PRESIDENT, for it contemplates the Immediate esta blishment of a territorial governit tent over the whole of Oregon up to 54 deg. 40 min.—t he cession infuturo of land to settlers—and the establishing, both on this and the other side of the Rocky Mountains of the United States, military posts for the protection of emigrants. Another set of resoliations was proposed in the Senate by a Mr. ATCII 550 N, but differing very little in their character, and leading to the same results. In referee ace to these re solutions, one of the New York papers states can didly, that " if the Senate and House of Representa tives shall pass them, and the Conamittees to which they would respectively be referred report favourably thereon, there will be pending in be nth Houses Bills tantamount to a declaration of war, i f they shall be come laws." Mr. PAKENHAM, the Br itish Minister a t Washington, is said to have expressed: himself strongly and decidedly, as well he might, that the Bills are in direct violation of the existing treaty • between Great Britain and the United States, and will be so re garded by the former Government..

HIGH WATER AT LONDON-BRIDGE THIS DAY. AI ening .. 40 minutes after 4 I Evening .. 55 minutes after 4 the subject, his opinion as to the offensive character of the Bills remained unchanged. These are only a few specimens of the various schemes now popular in America for annoying Great Britain. Flo rida, as we stated yesterday, would, by and by, claim Cuba, as more properly belonging to that state than to Spain, and accordingly a member of the Senate, representing Florida, proposed a re solution for purchasing that island from Spain. Why did he not use the more appropriate and popular phrase "annexing " it to Florida, as Texas has been joined to the Union ? " This proposal (says the New York Courier) for the writer seems anxious to screen his countrymen, was, indeed, received with silent derision, but, taken in connexion with other things, does it any the less indicate that a spirit is at work which aims at almost unlimited territorial aggrandisement? This blurting out of every crude suggestion used to be confined to the House of Representatives. The Senate heretofore has been, measurably at least, exempt from such puerilities, but the spirit of pro gressive democracy,' in levelling down, is as fatal to senatorial dignity as to senatorial qualifications and training." But the tide is all against the moderate men. Peace is not in fashion either at Washington or in the " far west," and whatever the friends of order, and good faith, and peace may say and hope respecting the aspect of affairs in America, we are compelled to con fess that war is all but inevitable, and to call upon the British Government to be prepared for the worst. Canada must be strengthened. A new Governor- General has just been appointed, and a military Governor very properly has been selected. England desires peace, but only on honourable terms, because no other peace could be lasting, and the best way to maintain peace with such men as POLE and CASS is to be fully prepared for war. To any exaggeration of facts, with the intention of hacking up a favourite argument, we are always most scrupulously averse; nor have we any particular affection for those mawkish and romantic senti mentalisms with which the advocates of a principle occasionally attempt to enforce its truth. Neverthe less, circumstances will now and then arise which savour considerably of fiction, and an especial allusion to which might, to the superficial, subject us to the accusation of a morbid partiality for some old wife's story ; although an adherence to feelings of humanity and a sense of common justice render such allusions absolutely incumbent upon us. One of these sin gular occurrences—showing for the nine hundred and ninety-ninth time the inherent rottenness and cruelty of the existing poor-laws—took place on Sunday last, at the union workhouse, in Norwich. It will amply correspond with our intention to glance hurriedly over the particulars of the case, such as they were yesterday described to be before the bench of local mlgistrates. In the abstract the tale is an old one, but there are mixed up with it several incidental facts that clothe it with a new interest. An old soldier, a pauper in the poor-house, obtains permission from the authorities to visit his wife and child, who are con fined in another ward : after, however, the half-hour allotted for this interview has expired, he is possessed with a sudden feeling of rebellion against the matron, and a wild resolution that he will be separated no longer from the former partner of his house, his hearth, and his bed. Upon this a policeman is called in to remove the insubordinate veteran against his inclination. The old soldier clings to his wife, offers no other resistance whatever, uses no language of abuse or passion—and what does the constable do in return ? Beats the old soldier on " the elbow" with his baton, then upon " the bone of his leg," and finally drags them —man, wife, and child—" all three hanging together, to a dungeon, where they are locked up for three hours." Another unfortunate inmate of the establishment is seized with the contagion ; he resolves to be no longer parted from his wife, who is in her last month with child ; and seeing them both " clinging together," the same policeman (having now settled the other couple) beats them violently with his staff. Surely these simple facts afford ample op portunity for the eloquent remonstrances of a phi lanthropist. In the hands of a skilful romancist, much that is pathetic and much that is horrible might he conjured out of the details: the old campaigner, fired with an abrupt and almost child-like recurrence to the affection of many years, the woman within a few weeks of her confinement, the storm of weepings and the bludgeon of the law. Out of these materials a harrowing and startling picture might be produced. In speaking as we have done we are far from wishing to countenance disobedience to legal regulations, how ever harsh or stringent they may appear quite the contrary. Nor do we purpose uttering any diatribe against Mr. STACY, because he merely "gently re proved the officers for their improper use of their slaves;" though whether such leniency be advisable is a matter for question. We are only actuated by a desire to direct particular attention to this recent proof of the over-rigour generally displayed towards paupers by the subordinate officials throughout the country. There is a blight elsewhere than among the potatoes—and a blight still more worthy of analysis and eradication. It would be a very great mistake to suppose that all or nearly all of the 879 railway schemes which have been published as " defunct " have failed to comply with the requirements of standing orders, after having raised money. We venture to state that considerably more than half of the names in that list have never been more than names. The five pound note, which is all that is required for provi sional registration, was always ready, while the railway mania was raging, as soon as the want of railway communication, or of shorter railway com munication between any two places on the map flashed upon the creative brain of a railway projector. To " register provisionally " was the first thing, and very often, indeed, the only thing done. To have " registered provisionally " gave, or was imagined to give, the projector a right over the country. Not a moment, then, was to be lost about "provisional re gistration ;" secure the country, and then consider the merits of the scheme, or rather (for the considera tion of the merits ; was often longer postponed) consider the chances of beating-up a provisional committee, and getting an allotment paid upon. Then perhaps, after a scheme had been registered, some mo dification of it occurred to the projector as desirable ; it might be advantageously cut short or extended ; it might go round to take in some other town, or there might be a branch. Immediately there would be a new " provisional registration." Another five pound note and another would fly to the registrar, winged with hopes of boundless premiums on shares yet untreated, and a price untold for the project. Then, perhaps, all came to nothing. The projector would perhaps go off to some other totally different scheme, and compound for the sinking of the five pound notes which had gone by expectation of greater gains elsewhere. This is no imaginary tale ; and in this way it may easily be conceived that the regis trar's list will be swelled with a large number of names which never got beyond the peculiar process of christening, now known as " provisional registration." If any one looks through the list which appeared in The Sun of the 14th, he will see a number of mere varieties of names, clearly indicating a series of mo difications of places ; and if he compares that list with the list of schemes for which plans have been duly deposited in the Parliament-office (in The Sun of the 7th), he will find still more signs of successive modifications. Then, again, many schemes have merged in others by amalgamation, and the money raised is still to be applied to the object for which it was raised, but under another name, and, it is to be presumed, with brighter prospects. We should indeed tremble for the consequences, in pecuniary loss to individuals, in litigation, in wreck of character, in injury to credit, were we not able to offer the above explanation of a list of 879 " defunct schemes." As it is, we have good reason to believe that the number of cases in which, after money has been received by provisional com mittees, the plans, &c., have not been deposited, will not be much more than may fairly be accounted for without want of due care and diligence, and greatly less than, taking all the circumstances of the late railway mania into consideration, might have been expected. It appears by the list published in The Sun of the 7th of January, that 721 railway companies hare duly deposited the required documents in the Parlia ment-office. But it is yet to be seen in how many of these 721 cases the plans will bear the scrutiny of the Standing Orders' Committee, and in how many the necessary funds are in hand for deposit. The latter point will soon be known. We have always thought that there has been in many cases a disposition to bear - too hard on provisional directors—that some peculiarities of their position had not been sufficiently estimated—that all their pro ceedings were preparatory to the meeting of Parlia ment—that till then they should be allowed the benefit of every possible presumption in their favour, and every aid which could be fairly given as against shareholders who might be unreasonably impatient and unjust under the influence of disappointment. But the day of reckoning is at hand ; and in all cases in which it shall be established that expenses have been incurred in order to keep up a delusive appearance, after ascertaining that the plans could not possibly pass muster, or after a failure on an allotment which left no hope of raising the required capital, we shall be the first to say that the provisional directors de serve no mercy. And it will be no excuse that they have been controlled by solicitors. We can easily conceive, and we have heard of cases in which soli citors, having been allowed their own way, have gone on after only a few hundred pounds had come in on an allotment, and success was hopeless, depositing plans, serving notices, Sm. These solicitors will be sufficiently punished by non-payment of the long bills which they have been running up, and for the sake of which only, of course, they have been going on. But provisional directors, who have committed their names and characters to the public for the proper management of heavy undertakings, and have allowed their functions to be usurped by their own servants — and these servants having a direct pecuniary interest in mismanagement—cannot expect to escape uncen sured by their shareholders, or at the bar of public opinion. We have received Madrid journals of the Bth, with the continuation of the debate in the Chamber of Deputies on the Address. It possessed rather more interest than has been displayed in the Cortes for some time. Senor LLOaENTE, Member for Cadiz, made a vigorous and eloquent speech against the policy pursued by the NARVAEZ Government. He denounced the dictatorship which had been established, and condemned altogether their foreign policy, espe cially that with the Court of Rome. Senor MoN, the Minister of Finance, replied, and in a good speech answered the arguments of his opponents. In speak ing of the Opposition, he said it was not so mild and prudent as was pretended, of which the vehement language of Senor LLORENTE was sufficient proof, and he let fall the words, " a conspiracy of 30 Depu ties to upset the Ministry." This expression produced bursts of indignation from the left benches, and the President was frequently obliged to call to order. BRAVO MoluLLo followed and defended the Go vernment, which, he said, was sincerely anxious to introduce reform into all the branches of the public Administration, but that it had considerable difficul ties to overcome. The debate was adjourned. Don HENRIQUE was to leave Madrid on the evening of the Bth, for Ferrol, and his brother, two days after wards, to join his regiment at Pampeluna. The fall of one per cent. in the funds, is attributed to this paltry affair, but there must be some other reason, though not assigned, On the Bth the Three per Cents. dosed at 34 at 60 days ; the Five per Cents., at 23! at 60 days.

In the debate on the Address, Count MATHIEU DE LA REDOUTE objected to the paragraph, which asserted that by the new treaty the commerce of France had been placed under the surveillance of their own flag. He considered, on the contrary, that their commerce, instead of being placed by the new convention under the surveillance of its own flag, had been deprived of its national rights. This charge, though very ab surd, called up the Duke DE BROGLIE, who gave a succinct account of the construction of the treaty, and proved that the charge was utterly unfounded. The example of America had constantly been held up for imitation, but there was no difference in the instructions given by that Government to their cruizers from those given to the French and English vessels. " The principle of responsibility was there plainly laid down in the sense adopted by the other powers." He then read the instructions issued by the American Govern ment in 1843, and expressed his surprise that the Noble Peer could have fallen into such an error, which he could only have done by seeking informa. tion amongst the objections started by the Americans before the convention of 1842 was signed. He had contrived to fill his head with polemics instead of with definitive treaties. The Noble Peer then, touch ing on the conventions relative to piracy, main tained, in the first place, that the slave trade was almost always connected with that offence ; and, next, defended the instructions given on that head by the Minister of Marine in 1845 to the French cruizers. They were, he declared, pefectly in conformity with the laws of the kingdom. He had taken part in drawing up these instructions, and he could aver that every imaginable precaution had been taken to have them perfectly regular and legal. On that occasion he had consulted naval officers of great experience, who had cruised on the coasts of Africa. It was according to their sugges tions that the details of the instructions relating to merchant vessels had been determined on. But that was not all ; he had carefully examined all the judg ments of the tribunals on the matter in question, which were deposited in the department of the Marine ; he had also had search made in the archives of the council of State, sitting as a council of vessels taken, and had consulted all these documents. The instructions had afterwards been examined in the offices of the Marine, so that he had every reason to believe that they were regular and exact. He was neither a jurisconsult nor a naval man, but he had called to his aid all the authorities he could find, and believed that he bad conscientiously performed the duty imposed on him. On this subject the Journal des Dehats makes the se remarks:— We supposed that %re had done with the question of the right of search, but we find that we were mistaken. Count Mathieu de la Rs dorte who, lately publi , hed a work, the end of which was to prove that, notwithstanding the solemn declaration inserted in the discourse from the Throne, French cot amerce was not replaced under the exclusive protection o:f her flag, in his discourse yester day attempted to prove the convention of the 29th of May last, which abrograted the treaties of 1831 and 1833, and the reciprocal right of search to be an unworthy deceptions, and having for effect to substitnte in place of the right of search a regime yet more oppressive. He tried, moreover, to prove, that the convention signed with England, and Lb. instructions destined to regulate the execution of it, have tended to , violate all national as well as maritime rights, Het Sven only knows upon what grouds he founded his thesis. The duty of replying to this dis • course naturally dev °lived upon the statesman who had the honour to attach his name to the convention of the 29th of May, 1845. .All the scaffolding of the subtle ties which the orator had so laboriously erected, im mediately gave wia.y before the arguments, simple, though teeming with reason and sound sense, used by the Duke de Bro glie. The convention never had violated the principles of the rights of men and the sacred rules in French leg islation. The illustrious orator clearly justified the co nvention of the 29th of May. It is in conformity with all laws, and all received tra ditions in practice amt mg civilised nations. None of the Opposition attempted to reply to the lucid and sound arguments made use, .of by the Duke de Broglie, and which produced as very lively impression on the Chamber. The Illoniteur contains official dispatches from Marshal BUGEAUTh respecting the late affair with Ann-EL-KADER, but they add not one word even to the brief telegraphic dispatch. BuGEAuD is sadly puzzled what to do. with his restless and skilful an tagonist. In spea'ti.ing of this contemptible affair, the Courrier Francais.e says:—" Our soldiers performed prodigies of valour., but our horses were knocked up with fatigue, after a forced march at night, and the men fought as one to two without having had either rest or food. Thu s, whatever the Marshal may say, if the physical advraltage has been on our side, it maybe affirmed that this is, not the case as regards the moral results. And shal7l we give a proof of the truth of this affirmation ? .AI3D-EL-KADER, instead of pro ceeding towards ithe south-west—instead of effect ing a retreat—Al 3D-EL-KADER, who is represented by Marshal BuGEA. - 17D as dispirited and discouraged, has, on the contrary, advanced into the very heart of the province of Algiers, even to Milianah. This, at least, is what we are told by an Algiers journal. Thus, between the 24th and the 30th, whilst M. BUGEAUD could only reach Orleansville, from which place he d.ite: ,!.*.art, the vanquished and hunted Ann-EL-KADER had got before him towards the north-east, and the intelligent Governor-General was 28M 17 38% Dividends on the above payable in London.
