A majority that may be called without any ex aggeration overwhelming, a majority of nearly two to one, last night divided M favour of the second reading of the Militia Bill introduced by the Derby- Disraeli Government. No wonder the announcement was received with acclamations. The result of the division was not only a pp rob atory of the Cabi ne t, but , „condemnatory of the Opposition. .

His laboured orations and deliberate attacks have ended by 165 voting on his side and 315 voting on the side of Mr. Secretary WALPOLE—yielding the Government a clear and triumphant majority of 150 in a House of 4801 The moral is surely apparent. The prestige of the ex-Premier has passed away. The glory of his influence has faded. His political power has become paralysed. His reputation has been degraded into byeword. And all this —directly and imme diately, through the form of an irresistible retalia tion. Lord PALMERSTON, by the decision of the House of Commons yesterday, has wreaked a two fold vengeance. We make the assertion advisedly, because, to the late Foreign Secretary, was no less attributable the result of the recent discussion, than was indisputably attributable the result of the .memorable debate closed by the re signation of the Whig Government. But for the course pursued by Lord PALMERSTON in regard to the projected enactment . introduced to the Legislature by her MAJESTY'S Home Secretary, the Bill before Parliament could scarcely by any chance have been saved from following in the wake of its short-lived predecessor. Lord PALMERSTON spoke, however, strongly in favour of the mea sure, and a majority of 150 was at once accorded to the new Government. With perfect truth has it been remarked of the Noble Viscount, the late Foreign Secretary, that at the present junc ture he is the recognised arbiter of the desti nies of the nation. The most popular statesman in the United Kingdom —he has only to pronounce and his word becomes the guiding voice of the Le gislature. He speaks against one Militia Bill, and the Whig Cabinet is drummed out of office in double quick time, with a painful sense of their utter incapacity to withstand the authority of his condem nation. He speaks in favour of another Militia Bill and the Conservative Government—the Go vernment acknowledged by the new Prime Minister even in his inaugural address to be in a minority in the House of Commons—obtains not merely what is technically called a working majority, but a majority cf very nearly two to one, from the popular branch of the Imperial Parliament. Lord Joliet RUSSELL little imagined what would so very speedily be the conse quence of his insolent and ungrateful proceeding 'to wards the only really great and influential statesman in his Administration. That consequence has already been rendered twice manifest—first by his total defeat when the lettder of the Government ; and, secondly, by his still more disgraceful and ignominious discern fiture when the leader of the Opposition. Viscount PALMERSTON has proved the ex-Premier to be alike powerless in either of those capacities, as the head of a Cabinet or as the head of a faction. The division of yesterday is the crowning testimony of this the last proof of the insignificance to which the political influence of Lord JOHN RUSSELL has been reduced. For we regard the majority of last night as another tribute of the House of Commons to the prestige of Viscount PALMERSTON—a tribute based, it is true, upon the unanimous conviction that something must be done in the way of increasing and re-organizing the national defences—rather than as a declaration that 315 out of the 480 assembled repre sentatives are in favour of the Militia Bill, the whole Militia Bill, and nothing but the Militia Bill intro duced to the consideration of the Legislature by one of the members of the Protectionist Government. As we have all along maintained, some energetic measures are requisite in order to shelter the coasts of the United Kingdom against the peril of invasion. The Duke of WELLINGTON declared the inadequacy of the national defences according to the existing schema of arrangements. Sir Faericts HEAD re iterated at greater length the warning first uttered through the medium of the well-known letter to Sir JOHN i3URGOYNE. The danger of our situation, in fact, was recognised by all parties alike, with the exception of the few eccentric gentlemen evho are bitten by the phobia of arbitration. The late Government, through the measure vainly i n . traduced by them, intimated as much, no less distinctly than the present Government has done in its turn, through the medium of the Militia Bill laid upon the table of the House of Commons by the Home Secretary. Insomuch was this the conviction of Lord JOHN RUSSELL and his Ministerial colleagues, that they advised an al lusion to the subject in the Speech from the Throne delivered at the commencement of the pre sent session by the SOVEREIGN. Every one, indeed, with the single exception referred to (that of the Peace Congress gentlemen) agreed from the outset that a movement in the proposed direction was abso lutely essential for the stability of the empire, or at any rate for the welfare of the United Kingdom. The only difficulty all along has been to decide upon the precise measures advisable to be adopted under existing circumstances—this diffi culty being, moreover, rather seriously en hanced by the division of parties and by the struggles between those who were suddenly trans formed from a Government into an Opposition, and from an Opposition into a Government. From the protracted character of these struggles, we are induced to regard the result of last night's division not so much as an approval of the Militia Bill of Mr. WALPOLE, as an assertion that some energetic effort must seriously be made at length for the exten sion and improvement of the national defences of the United Kingdom. Therefore, while we coincide to a considerable extent with Mr. ROEBUCK, in con sidering the proposed enactment as likely to prove, if carried into operation, eminently mischievous in its character, we cannot view yesterday's ma jority in . the abstract - otherwise than highly satisfactory. Happily, it affords us at length every reasonable expectation that the national defences may before long be thoroughly and effectually re-organized in spite of every imaginable obstruction, even of such obstructions as the one facetiously called by the Hon. Member for East Kent, the argumentum ad pocket. Then, but not till then, could we bear in remembrance without emotions of anxiety as to the future, the project formed in 1804 by that most wonderful of heroes, at once the conqueror and the lawgiver of Europe, the Emperor NAPOLEON, that extra ordinary man alluded to last night in the House of Commons by the Honourable Repre sentative of Sheffield, as one " whose mind was gigantic almost beyond the reach of conception, the first general the world had ever known, and commanding an army whose exploita had never been surpassed." Then, we repeat, we might look onward without solici tude as to the almost unlimited powers conferred by a free people on the Prince Louis NAPOLEON, I the elect first of 6,000,000 and afterwards of nearly 8 ,000,000 of adult citizens, speaking through the ballot and universal suffrage—whose name was, n cr e e v n e t t m hel a e n ss, mentioned last night by the same Hon. and ehamele cur r y (Mr. s r. ROEB UCK) in terms of such culpable Every arrival from fresh__.... Australia affords addi tional and most substantial evidence of the miracu lous produce of the Australian diggings. Accounts are transmitted fro m persons of character and p station that unexceptionable w ould appear p o r efs; incredible,but they if n a o r t e sup ported sus tained a bout gold, to the v a l ue of nearly 15 arlyone million ster the past month, or li n g, which has reached u s du e is in the coots© of transmission, worth of on, and daily ex pected. About a fortnight since w ou t that no less than 378,000 1 pointed b u lli o n bad come to hand within the pr eceding week. Since that tim e w e rece ived to the va lue of 100,0001. m o re, per the Hero ; and last week the Briliant which sailed from Port Phili p on the 21 st of January , ' b roug ht no less than two tons and a half of the pre cious metal, estimated at 217 000/ , ~ while we are told that the Statesman and Aberfoyle were to start by the Ist of February, bringing 80,000 ounces more, worth nearly 300,0001. It is also stated that new diggings had been discovered at the Muddy Creek and the Henne River, promising as brilliant returns as the most productive spots that had 'n ev i. ously been discovered. It is almost unnecessary to say that every person of sufficient physical powers to bear the fatigues of the diggings was rushing to the auriferous localities, totally disregarding his ordinary pursuits. Many motley groups might have been Been, LONDON, each inflamed by the auri sacra fames. Gold-finding like death, levels all distinctions, and queer combina tions were formed of parties very dissimilar in their ordinary pursuits and social positions. The lawyer might be discovered working side by side with the client he had formerly defended, and anxiously availing himself of the valuable assistance of his light-fingered friend ; the doctor was more in his element in " rocking the cradle " for some quondam patient ; while the parson, utrumque paratus, was ready to turn his hand, by which he could earn an honest penny, and willingly co-operated with the greatest reprobates of his flock, improving, it may be hoped, the hours of toil by useful exhortations. The average gains of each individual may be fairly estimated at four ounces, or at the inadequate price of 31. per ounce, which, in consequence of the want of a mint, can only be obtained in the colony, about 121. per week. There are, of course, instances of very ex traordinary success, where hundreds, aye thousands, of pounds may be realised within a few weeks; but we believe that the above average is rather below the mark, and that it is more than doubled whenever the workers possess even tolerably good cradles, pick axes, and shovels. What could be obtained by skilful hands, with quicksilver and all other useful adjuncts, it is impossible to calculate. But it may be said "it is all a lottery ;" there are unquestionably instances of great good for tune, but many are disappointed and return empty-banded from the mines, deploring their folly in abandoning their ordinary occupations for the pursuit of a phantom. This, however, is not in accordance with the facts ; for we are told that every one who has been to Mount Alexander is perfectly satisfied, and contemplates a speedy return. Every hazard, however, can be avoided, for any able bodied man can easily obtain 31. per week, be sides being provided with every necessary of life, aye, and all attainable luxuries. Labour has, of course, risen materially, and many ordinary employments are abandoned because the masters can not afford to pay the minimum wages which any working man will condescend to accept. The great complaint of the colonists—the universal de mand, is for more labour. They are pre pared to receive with thanks and gratitude any parties (unstained by crime) whom we may send to their shores ; men, women, and children are all acceptable, a decided preference, however, being given to the fair sex. The emigrants themselves will benefit as largely by the change. From the very hour of their arrival they find themselves surrounded by a degree of abundance, which, if not unknown among persons of their class in the mother country, is unhappily of but rare occur- It is not merely the necessaries, but many unwonted comforts that are placed within their reach. With a slight degree of prudence, too, they may hope to materially improve their position, and to be enabled, ere long, to work on their own account, and to become employers in their turn. rence. And yet we have at this moment myriads of able-bodied paupers compelled to submit themselves to the tender mercies of the union work houses, wasting their time in unprofitable idleness, without a single enjoyment, who could by being transmitted to Australia become happy and respectable members of society. Even if the entire expense were defrayed out of the poor's-rates, it would prove a profitable speculation ; but, as has repeatedly been shown, every' man might be bound to repay the entire outlay. It is absurd to say that no con tract entered into in this country could be enforced in Australia. It would, by a moderate degree of precaution, be made as available there as it could be here. And whether it be to make an emigrant li quidate the expenses of his passage and outfit, or to compel a miner to carry out his agreement, the law is as powerful there as it is here, and the consequences of opposition just as unpleasant, There is no Lynch law in Australia. The QUEEN'S writ could be more easilj executed at Geelong or Ballarat than in Connemaia, and it is one of the most frivolous pretexts that has yet been put forward by the ursine fraternity, that miners would deliberately violate every engagement into which they had entered the moment of their arrival. The fortunate hour has at length arrived—" the tide" has set in, " which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune." Let us not let slip the golden opportunity which, once lost, may never be recovered. VICE-CHAIN CEKY.—(T HIS DAY.) (Before Vice. Chancellor PARKER.) LUMLEY v. WAGNER. The court this morning was crowded long before the usual time for the commencement of business by per sons anxious to hear the result of this case. On his Honour taking his seat, Mr. BETHELL, addressing his Honour, said that on the part of the defendants it had been found impossible to complete the evidence so as to bring the case imme diately before the Court in a satisfactory manner. Under these circumstances he would ask the Court to allow the matter to stand over for a few days, while the evidence was being completed, for by one of those sin gular accidents which sometimes occurred a letter had just been received by the defendants giving a clue to a discovery which no doubt would enable him (Mr. Bethel!) to rebut completely and fully those misrepre sentations by virtue of which this injunction had been obtained. _ _ His HoNouß inquired to what day the injunction must stand over. _ _ Mr. BETHELL said he would ask for it to stand over to acme general day. He would take care that a com munication was made to the other side in full time for them to be prepared, but at present he could not state any definite day. His Hoznorat said that if the:other side did not object to this arrangement he should not, as in matters of this kind he thought it the duty of the Court to afford every fain lity for the matter being heard as soon as possible. Mr. BACON said the position in which he stood was this. He had obtained on Friday an injunction which could scarcely be called an ex parte injunction, as it was granted after a full argument on both sides, and leave was given at the same time to move to dissolve it on Saturday, or as soon after as counsel could e 'be heard. Notice was given on Friday sight of such a motion beim... intended. All Saturday passed, and all yesterday, without any such motion being made, and in fact up to ' the present moment no affidavits had been filed. Now all he wished was that ho might have an opportunity of seeing the evidence which they meant to produce, before it came before the Court. Mr. BETBELL said that he could promise his Learned Friend that he should have an opportunity of examining the evidence at least 24 hours before the motion was made. If it should be necessary to make the motion on Saturday, and he:(Mr. Bethel!) were to give notice to his Honour on Friday, perhaps, having regard to th e groat importance of the matter, his Honour would have no objection to take it on Saturday. Vice-Chancellor PARKER—Certainly not; as I said before I think it the duty of the Court in matters of this nature to give every facility far the hearing to take place as soon as posssible. Mr. Becos said that be should certainly have pre. ferred having some day fixed definitely, because in the mean time advertisements were being issued daily by the defendants, announcing that Mdlle. Wagner was about to make her first appearance, which could not but be in jurious to his client. However, if he could not get a fixed day, he must consent to the proposition of his Learned Friend. His HONOUR said that he could not see that these ad vertisements could be injurious to the plaintiff. The matter must stand over as proposed. The motion was then ordered to stand over until far ther notice. EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) GIBBS V. FREMONT. Mr. WILLES moved for a rule calling on the defendant in this case to show cause why an order obtained from Mr. Baron Alderson, for the production of certain bills of exchange, and letters and documents rel a ti ng t h ereto, suSee d should not be set aside. The defendant o bt a i ne d the order from an a ffi davit, in which he stated th a t h e was an officer in the United States army, and also G overnor of California, and that the b ills on was c w a h p i a c c h ity he on the c w r e e r t e ary dr o a f w S n ta b te y a h t Wsh im a inh i i n his politicaligten, and in favour of certain parties who had furnished the army under his command in California with the necessary supplies, and that in drawing the bills he did not incur any personal respon sibility. Mr. Willis stated that the p laintiff had no ob jection to produce the bills of exchange, but ho con tended that he was not bound to produce the letters transmitting them, and the other documents mentioned in Mr. Baron Alderson's order, unless the defendant showed they wer e of importance to his defence to the action.—Rule granted. and, if nece ssar y, SITTINGS IN ERROR.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 7,000 bales, of which 1,100 American were taken for export and 500 for speculation. The market was firm, American and Egyptian being a shade higher. The sales comprised 5,500 American, 200 Pernam and Maranham at Sid. to 6yd. ; 100 Bahia, bid. to 6P.; 400 Egyptian, at 6d. to 74d.; 700 Surat, at 3d. to 4d., and 40 Sea Island, at is. Lid. to Is. 4d. per lb.—Railway Shares were at rather lower prices. The reports from the Stock Markets of the Continent still notice rather a heavy tone, and at Paris, the ac count being Bullish, causes a depression. A new loan was also again rumoured. The Committee of Spanish American Bondholders have received a letter from their agent, Mr. Lord, dated " La Guayra, 26th March," of which the following is an extract:—" I have now the pleasure to enclose copy of another note from the Finance Minister ?sated the 27th inst., transcribing copy of one under the same date, addressed to the Provisional Agency, the original whereof I forward with the present, it having been sent to me for that purpose. This will, I trust, enable the agency to make distribution of the two divi dends on receipt of the remittances alluded to, the amount of which the Minister has not stated, It was not until the 18th instant that the Committee to whom the agreement (of 12th September, 1851, on the arrears of interest) was referred, presented their report to the Chamber, and on the 20th it was taken into con sideration, the Minister of Finance being present by in vitation. The report (a copy whereof I beg to enclose for the information of the committee) is unfavour able to the agreement, and recommends its rejec tion. However, in the debate upon it that ensued, in which the Minister took a prominent and decided part in defence of this act of the Execu tive, it was finally determined not to abide by the recommendation with which the report concludes, but to refer the whole to another committee of seven mem bers, to be selected from those who voted for the agree ment, for them to draw up a fresh report, and with it to present a project of decree in appro bation of the agreement. My advices from C a r acas lead me to expect that this report will to-day be pro sented to the Chamber, and with every probability of a satisfactory result, so far as this branch of the Legislature is concerned. In the Senate the agreement has its op ponents, but they, I trust, will also be overcome, and by the arguments that will appear in the counter-report of the second Committee of the Lower Chamber, backed as they will be, according to present appearances, by the might and influence of the Executive. The following is a translation of the Finance Mi nister's letter to Baron de Goldsmid, and the other Members of the Provisional Committee for the Vene zuelan Bondholders in London, dated Caracas, 27th March, 1852: " The Government, in compliance with its engage ment towards the holders of their bonds in London, has already ta k e n the necessary measures to pl ace i n that city an a mount in cash that s h a ll cover the balance wanting to complete the last dividend, and punctaally meet that which falls due i n April, and anxious that not a moment should be lost in placing the respective claimants in pos session of these funds, has resolved that instructions be given to you desiring that so soon as the amount that h as been drawn in bills reaches your hands, the same ma y be paid to the parties interested, that is to say, to the holders of its bonds.-4 am, &c., (Signed) ` 1 PEDRO C. GELLISSEAU." In addition to the above, the Committee beg to state that n o remittances have been received by the present The large majority in favour of the Militia Bill, w ould, it was expected, have improved th e t one o f t h e Coned Market, but very little effect has been produced, and the quotations have been 994 4 for Transfer, and 99 1 for Account. Exchequer-bills, dated March, have been 71s. to 73e, and East India Bonds 84s. pre mium. Bank Stock has been firm at 2204, and India Stock at 266. The New Three-and-a -Quarter per Cents. have realized 1004 to I. Foreign Stocks are weak, principally from the limited business doing. Mexican Bonds are a little better. being 344 to a for the Old, and 274 4 for the Now Spanish Five per Cents. are about 21 to 4, and the Three per Cents. 21 to 4. The Committee's Certificate has been at 24. Peruvian Deferred Stock has been marked 634, and Grenada Deferred 94 to 104. Bra zilian Old Bonds are worth 99A 4. Dutch Four per Cents, are 924 to 93. Venezuela are flatter. Railway Shares have all been materially depreciated, and the French Shares especially. North-Westerns are down 1 to 14 per cent., and Brazilian, South- Western, Midland, Caledonian, Great Western, and South- Eastern aro cheaper in the same proportion. Northern of France have dropped about to 4, Rouen and Havre 4, and Western of France 4, and others are heavy. Gold Mine shares are all but generally at former prices, unless sales are forced, which there does not ap pear to be a disposition to do. The new companies not yet officially quoted mostly bear premiums varying from 1.16 to 4, including Lewis Hill Range, &o. South Australian Copper are 4 4 premium. The advices of Jan. 10 from Adelaide are much more favour. able as regards the supply of labour. QUARTER TO THREE. ... 994 4 ... 994 4 ONE PRICES OF B RIMS?" FUNDS O22O%'CLK. OC Bank Stock 3 er Cent.

The annual general meeting of the subscribers to the Art Union was held this morning, in the Lyceum Theatre, for the purpose of receiving the report of the Council, and distributing the prizes. The meeting was very fully attended, the dress and upper circles of the theatre being chiefly occupied by ladies. Previous to the opening of the proceedings the lottery tickets, nurnbercd from 1 to 12,289, were deposited in the wheels. Lord Monteagle was advertised to preside, but owing to the Noblo Lord being summoned on a Parliamentary Committee, he was unable to attend, and in his absence the Right ion. Lord Londesborough was called to the chair. The Noble CHAIRMAN having briefly expressed bis regret that Lord Monteagle, who was so much more competent to fill the chair, was not able to be pr esent, proceeded to call u p on M r . Godwin, the honorary secre tary, to read the annual report of the council. The SECRETARY then read the report. Sir CHARLES LEMON moved the adoption of the report, and declared that its contents bad given him unfeigned satisfaction.—(Hear, hear.) He congratulated the meet ing upon the manner in which the business of the society was managed. As to the society itself, he could liken it to nothing but the militia—it was, in fact, the militia of Science—(A laugh)—and he was rejoiced to find that through its exertions art was daily becoming more than ever appreciated.—(Hear, hear.) Sir GA.RDNER WILKINSON seconded the motion in a few words. Tho Noble CHAIRMAN in putting the question that the report be adopted, took the opportunity of ex pressing his pleasure at the success which had attended this society. It proved that the country was alive to the importance of art. The Queen and the aristocracy might smile upon art, but the prosperity of the artist depended upon the country, and he was glad to know that the possessors of some of the choicest gems pro duced by British artists were chiefly merchants or mem bers of the liberal professions.—(Hear, hear.) This fact, he thought, spoke volumes in favour of this so ciety, and again he congratulated the meeting upon its prosperity.—(Hear, hear.) The motion for the adoption of the report was then put and unanimously carried. On the motion of Professor ITESKIN, seconded by Mr. ARNOLD, thanks were voted to the Council for their past services. Sergeant THODIPSON moved a vote of thanks to the Honorary Secretaries, which was seconded by Captain VERNON, and carried unanimously. Mr. GOODWIN briefly acknowledged the compliment, and mentioned that the association had in contempla tion a scheme for encouraging art by devoting a portion of their funds to the employment of sculptors. He moved a vote of thanks to Mr. Charles Ilathews for his kindness in lending the use of the theatre for the meet ing, and wittily remarked that the letter in which Mr. Mathews communicated his willingness to lend his theatre formed an additional act of grace to his Chain of Events.—(" Hear," and laughter.) The motion was unanimously agreed to, and the pre liminary business terminated. The drawing was then proceeded with when our re port left. THE City STAL PALACE. (THIS DAY.) A public meeting was held this afternoon at Exeter Hall, in favour of retaining the Crystal Palace. The Earl of Shaftesbury presided in the chair. There was a very a large attendance, but the hall was by no means well filled. The Duchess of Sutherland and her eldest son, the Marquis of Stafford, and two other members of her family occupied seats in one of the reserved galleries. On the platform we observed the Earl of Harrowby, the Duke of Argyll, Mr. J. Hume, M.P., Mr. Aglionby, M.P., Sir George Sartorious, Mr. Oliveira, Sir Joseph Paxton, Culonel Sykes, Mr. D'Eyncourt, M.P., Mr. W. Williams, M.P., Dr. Cumming, and others. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY, on rising to address the meeting, was received with loud cheers. He commenced by reading a letter from a working man in Dorset to himself, approving of the meeting as a step in the right direction, and enclosing a bank-note for 201. in aid of the movement.—(Cheers.) They were now assembled to consider whether the magnificent edifice that had served a great purpose should be determined to be useless, and should finally be destroyed. There were few who would question the magnificence or beauty of the building, or that it would be beneficial and human ising in continuing those effects which had happily been produced on the mind of the vast masses of the people, by contemplating those prodigious works of art which were collected together by the natives of every land.-- (Cheers.) There were few who would not desire that those great benefits should be perpetuated.—(Cheers.) The questiont shouldhey ha d extended nowo nlyby a tno be a p continued , e ea o n e sd e t rwas,bthe u pt whether übhcf o r thosehey h benefits soul d be not adequate funds.—(Hear.) He conf esse d that at first whetherhe had great misgivings as to the purp ose for which the building was originally turned, but they had since been removed and converted into something like confidence by the circular of the sub-committee. That committee pro posed that the building sh ou ld be vested by an Act of Par liament in trustees, who should have the power of leasing it under certain conditions, so as to give a guarantee that it should not b o appropriated to any other purpose unworthy Committee,ibition He thought both as to its beautio"e fti ” l ,,h isite or of the object of the Great E thet pthuerparseeca of theommendabtiaoinldsinogf and the mode in which it should be maintained and governed, were perfectly safe. At any rate, however, he con tended amnbdeeedthee scheme was worthy of experiment.—(Hea r. ) a . great, free, and enlightened peopl e, and though it might fail, there would be some compensating results, because the fact of wealth and station engaging on the side of the people would allay much discontent and tend to unite those classes who had hitherto looked upon each other with no kindly sympathy.

The objection that its retention would injure the property of priv.ee individuals in the neigh bourhood, was only one of those old women bugbears which he had hoped were obsolete.—(Cheers) Every reason combined in f ec , oue the prejete, Ben he hoped the meeting would give an: unanimous :expression of opinion in its favour.—(Cheers.) Mr. J. HUMS, M.l'., who was received with en thusiastic cheers, in seconding the resolution , said the question as to maintaining the Palace was one of vital and primary importance. It had been has great object throughout his public life to re' move the stigma resting on England, that, with all its means of instruction, it was strictly an exclusive coun try, and that nearly all our valuable collections were closed to the people,—(Cheers.) In requesting that the building might not be destroyed, tney asked 0 0 more than they were entitled to. for the parks were not private but public property.—(Cheers.) They wer e royal domains held by the Crown for the benefit of the people. He thought that if her Majesty were in formed of the wish of the meetinq, and that the building might be mainteined without any vote of public money, they would not be unsuccessful in their object. —(Cheers.) Ouse the consent of the Crown was ob tained, no Minister would venture to stand in the way -- : (Hear, hoar.) He held that it was as much the duty 0 ' the Government as of the people to support the move ment. Among Whigs and Tories there had been ° natural dread of the people, but he considered the mor e the people were tru,ted the better they would behave, and it was gratifying now to find that this opinion role no longer entertained by the aristocratic class. The Duke of ARGYLL moved the next resolutionl That it was the opinion of the meeting that the Crr tii , Palace could b e ma i n t a i ne d on th e self•supporutt principle under a great trust, calculated to afford t he highest guarantee for the uses to which it would be applied. He confessed that, like the Noble Chairing), his conviction h a d been arrived at through the ordeal 01 doubt.—(Hear. hear.) (The meeting had not terminated when our report lefo NEWMARKET RACES.
