Morning .. 34 minutes after 4. 1 Evening .. 57 minutes after 4. of ts hopeless struggle. To imagine that the represen tative of Knaresborough has hitherto escaped from his political contests scatheless and uninjured, would be one among the wildest stretches of fancy ; the fumes and the smoke of his own prodigious subterfuges have tarnished his very name, and the marks of those battles are indelible. All these circumstances appear to be thoroughly impressed upon the mind of Mr. FERRAND and in all likelihood it is the conviction of their truth which urges him on in his present mad and un reasonable career. The hull of his Parliamentary fame is just barely distinguishable, darkened and shattered from the conflict in which it has repeatedly engaged, and as repeatedly fared the worst ; the sullen waters of popular displeasure are gradually sucking that black hull into their bosom, and surging upon it from all quarters ; yet does Mr. BUSFEILD FERRAND Still defy the advance of public opinion and public indigna tion, and, by his recent proceedings at Leeds, clambers up, as it were, to the mast-head, and there nails up the last rag of his reputation, as though in very defiance. His provincial eloquence ap pears to concentrate itself upon one intolerable effort, namely, the dissemination of discontent and among the labouring classes. He addresses himself ex elusively to artizans; he tells them they are the most tyrranised and degraded body of human creatures in the empire ; he covers their employers with every epithet of ignominy and abhorrence ; and endeavours, by every possible effort of his tongue, by his insinuations, and by flagrant mis-statements, by his unwieldy meekness, and by his unflinching audacity, to rouse among the in dustrious classes a feeling of hatred and animosity against the manufacturers, from whom they receive their wages and their " daily bread." For this miserable and vile attempt the Member for Knaresborough is culpable indeed, and hence he would deserve our most absolute reprobation, but for the perfect impotence with which the attempt is accempanied. The gentlemen who potter over their protection crucibles in the grand laboratory of New Bond-street bad better bestir them. selves in the election for the West Riding, if they wish any success to attend their party in that quarter ; they must oust Mr. BUSFEILD FERRAND and mount the rostrum themselves, if they wish an agricultural candi date to be returned for that division of Yorkshire. So much virulence of tongue, so much generalism of abuse, so much essential coarseness of argument, as have been indulged in by this terrible gentleman, are, in truth, suffi cient to injure the most stable cause in the universe, but when they are actually coincident with an irre trievably unstable faction, no marvel that the conse quence is inevitable disgrace. It is a wonderful con trast to compare the epistles recently published by Mr. FERRAND and Mr. COBDEN, the former entitled " Brutal and Cowardly Conduct of the League," the latter addressed to " The Tenant Farmers of England t" the one teeming with the most rancorous malice, and the most determinate vulgarity; the other a calm, argu mentative, dispassionate, and gentlemanly production. From these two letters we may indeed estimate the relative position of the question now at issue : the stubborn though chap-fallen rage of the protectionists, with the quiet and candid self-confidence of their opponents. Britannic MAJESTY, will contribute, without hurting our national interests, to insure the benefits of humanity." IBRAHIM PACHA was expected to visit Paris soon, and the Marquis DE LAVALETTE had left that city for Vernet, to accompany his Highness on the journey. A letter from Alexandria of the Bth inst. says:—" The brilliant re ception given to IBRA.Brx PA.CHA in Europe appears to have inspired the Viceroy with the desire to take a trip there ; previously, however, he is to visit Upper Egypt." Accounts from Lucerne state that MULLER, charged with the murder of M. LEu, had been tried at that place on the 24th. This man, it will be remembered, had tried to escape punishment, by accusing Dr. PEFFER, but failed. The trial lasted only four hours and a half, and the prisoner was found guilty and condemned to death. His counsel attributed the crime to relig ions fanaticism. The prisoner himself said, that having been incarcerated for rebellion, and his application to be in terrogated being refused, he had conceived a profound resentment against M. LEU, and could not subdue the desire for vengeance. We would beg to draw the particular attention of our readers to a letter from Mr. COBDEN to the tenant farmers of England, which appears in another column. As the record of the deliberate opinion of " one who has sprung from their own ranks," it is entitled to their most mature consideration. As the opinion of the first political economist of the day, it is entitled to the at tentive consideration of all philosophical (as contra-distinguished from party) politicians, and as the opinion of one of those political philosophers who, ac cording to the admission of Sir ROBERT PEEL himself, was three years ago right, when he, the Prime Minister of the country, was wrong, more especially is it entitled to the consideration of the Minister, who, by his own showing, is three years behind Mr. COBDEN. Out of consideration to the tenant farmers themselves, he advocates an immediate, in preference to a gradual, repeal of the corn-laws, and argues that the present mo ment, when there is a scarcity over the whole continent of Europe, is the time of all others when the corn-laws can be repealed without even temporary inconvenience to the British farmer. " I.;" says Mr. COBDEN, " you should be induced to concur in its views, you will avoid the only danger to which, in my opinion, the farmers were ever exposed from the repeal of the corn-law — that of the transition state. From the first I have always entertained and expressed the conviction that free trade, far from permanently injuring the farmers, would ultimately tend to their prosperity and independ ence. I never disguised from myself, however, the temporary evils to which they might be exposed in the change. But let us unite 14...;.i nc r I ,..ent opportu nity, and the triumph of sound principles may be achieved without the bitter ingredients of one particle of injury to any class or individual. From the most exalted personage in the realm down to the humblest peasant, all may witness, with unalloyed pleasure, one of the greatest victories ever achieved over past preju dice and ignorance, whilst each class may derive pecu liar gratification at the close of our long domestic struggle. The SOVEREIGN may gkry that her reign was reserved for the era of a commercial reforma tion, more pregnant in its beneficial consequences to the destinies of mankind than all the wars of her illustrious ancestors ; the landed aristocracy vill see in the con summation of our labours, an opening for the resumption of their social influence based upon the only sure foun dation—the respect and confidence of the people ; whilst to the middle and industrious classes will be presented a constantly widening field for the employment of their peaceful energies, together with greater means and more leisure for that moral amelioration which, I trust, will accompany their improved physical condition." The following summary of dispatches received from Algiers appears in some of the Paris papers of Thurs day:— " The Minister of War yesterday received a report from Lieut.-General de Bar, dated Algiers, the 20th, and a report from Marshal Bugeaud, dated from the Oued Riou, the 10th. General de Bar announces the receipt of a telegraphic dis patch from Milianah, dated the 12th, stating that Marshal Bugeaud would arrive about the 23d, between Tekeria and lief el Sefa, to the south of Teniet el Head, and informs the Minister that he has received letters from General Bedeau, dated the 17th, when he was at Medeah, with the troops of General d'Arbouville, who were reposing, and in readiness to proceed to any point that might become necessary. Marshal Bugeaud's report contains very little that is not already known. He speaks of several fruitless marches, in the hope of coming up with Abd.el-Bader, who, in finding the tribes of the countries of the Beni Messlems ill disposed to assist him, and General Lamoriciere near at hand, abandoned his projects on the Lower Mina, and on the 4th arrived in the Upper Mina, where he carried off the douars of the Agha of the tribe of the Sdamas, a tribe which had just submitted to the French. The Emir, says Marshal Bugeaud, had accomplished fifty leagues in two days and a night, with horses which were supposed to be exhausted with fatigue. At the date of the last accounts, Abd-el-Kader was two days distant from the Tell, to which General Lamoriciere did not intend to follow him, as it is a country in which no supplies can be obtained for cavalry. In conclusion Marshal Bugeaud says :—" Things have much improved, and we may now say, without being too bold, hat Abd-el-Kader has failed in the great enterprise that he had been long meditating. He reckoned on carrying insur rection and war to the gates of Algiers, and could only reach the south of the Ouarensenis. When he made his appear ance, the revolted tribes had all received some rude blows. Their zeal was cooled, and not seeing arrive the armies of emigrants and Morocco mien who had been promised, they soon despaired of success. There is little zeal i❑ the camp of the ex-Emir. The tribes at first supplied him with pro. visions and forage ; some of the most ardent even joined him, but soon the masses kept away, and he was compelled to look for food for his men and horses ►n the Silos. I think he will return much discouraged, and that the tribes are not less so."

DEPARTURE OF THE C , JURT FOR CLAREMONT.—Her Majesty and Prince Albert, accompanied by the Royal Family, and attended by the Court, are expected to leave Buckingham Palace this afternoon for Claremont, where the royal party will pass a few days, and will then return to the metropolis. Her Majesty and the Prince are ex pected to take their departure from Buckingham Palace between three and four o'clock. We have received Madrid journals of the 23d, which contain a glowing description of the grand ball given by General NARVAEZ to her MAJESTY and a select party on the evening of the 22d. The QUEEN, with her sister and mother, arrived at eleven o'clock, when the concert commenced. All the fashionable society of Madrid was present. Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA took his place near his royal relatives. After the concert the QUEEN opened the ball with the Duke of VALENCIA (NARVAEZ), and the INFANTA, the QUEEN'S sister, with the French Ambassador. At three o'clock their MAJESTIES with drew. Several Senators and Deputies of the Opposition party were present. In the Chamber of Deputies Senor Mom enter ed into a long statement respecting his financial policy, and no one could deny that he had performed wonders, of which this extract from his speech gives a brief out- Hue : " The Ministry of which I am a member have triumphed. for they have extricated the country from a real chaos. For anarchy they have substituted order and morality. Has not our financial position been improved since 1844, when we took office? At that period the treasury was empty ; every department of the public service was suffering, and a bankruptcy was imminent. Nobody would lend money to the Government. To obtain 7,000,000 f. it was compelled to give I2,000,000f.; the tobacco revenue had been farmed out for ten years, and the proceeds of two months had been beforehand consumed ; no hope remained ; the active employees had received but two months' salary out of five, and the passive classes one month only. IN this year, on the contrary, a contract had been entered into with a highly respectable public establishment, and I ask whether this contract affords the said employees suffi cient guarantees for payment in this year ? LM. Llorente cried "No r] You may deny it (continued M. Mon), but the Deputies of Spain and all Europe have been astonished at such a treaty having been concluded with the San-Fernando bank. It was imagined that the Govern ment never would attain the object it has accomplised. The utmost confusion prevailed in the public service, and they who negotiated with the Government required a discount in proportion to the difficulties they dreaded in the collection of the revenue. Is this morality in the Administration ? Have those who, in two years, have made such confusion disap pear, done nothing ? Two years are a brief period in finan cial matters, especially when a Government is harassed by the press and by conspiracies. Yet, the army has been paid, And the navy improved. Under Charles 111. it was not as strong as it now is. Yes, gentlemen, the navy is now better paid than it Was under Charles 111. It may be alleged that some injustice and vexations have taken place in the collec tion of the revenue ; these details are of a secondary impor tance, and a Government which was to bestow its attention on questions of the utmost moment cannot always watch the details of its operations." - - - The 23d being the feast of St. Ildefonso, the Stock- Exchange remained cloned. The report of Sir R. PEEL'S speech in the House of Commons on Tuesday evening was received in Paris on Thursday, and created a great sensation. Every per son who turned his attention to the changes expressed wonder at their magnitude and extent. The good penple of Paris could hardly credit the news, and the only drawback on the joyful intelligence was a doubt whether the Minister would be able to carry his com prehensive and liberal scheme through Parliament. The Chamber of Deputies for two days had been occu pied in discussing the proposed alterations in the con stitution of the University. M. SALVANDY, the Minister of Public Instruction, made a long speech in defence of the new regulations, and was opposed by M. TRIERS, but their arguments possess no interest for the English reader, Another notice of motion had been given by an Oppo sition Member relative to the relations between England and France, M. PFRRVER, as has been stated, has a motion on the naval affairs 40 maritime rights of France, which will call forth many speeches, and M. MAIIGUIN has also given notice of his intention to move ay amendment on the fifth paragraph of the Address, to the following effect f .—" We hope that the union and good intelligeme of vo4r govepagiept 7/4 thf4 of !I!! THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 31, 1e46. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were about 4,000 bales. The market was very quiet. The Share Market was firmer, and there was an improvement in some of the registered shares. The Rossendale, arrived from Sydney, brings accounts of September 20. Trade was in a sounder state, and moderately active. Labour was becoming scarce again, and the propriety of obtaining a re- inforcement from 'v Dieman's Land had been mooted, and was supported in one or two districts. The points most notable in the weekly Bank of England return to the 24th inst., ate those which denote the peculiar action of the railway deposit question, and they are as follows: Notes Issued Decrease £48,885 Public Deposits Decrease Other Deposits Increase 2,953,990 Other Securities Increase 2,607,886 Seven days and other Bills Increase 19,358 Bullion Increase The actual amount of the notes issued was 26,525,0251., and of the Bullion 13,202,0841. The Funds have been very steadily supported to-day, and opened at an improvement to 95% for Account. At present the values are 94% to 95 for Money, and 95% for time. Ex. chequer-bills have been 295. to 255., being rather lower than yesterday. Bank Stock is quoted 206 to 207. The New Three-and-a• Quarter per Cents. are 97 1 / s to 97%. The Foreign Bonds are very quiet. Spanish Five per Cents. have been 28 1 / s M, and the Three per Cents 38%. Mexican Bonds are worth 301. Belgian Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are worth 55. Shares have been rather more deal in, and seem generally to maintain fully the previous rates. BRITISH FU3TDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. (From the Official List.)

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY) (Before Vice-Chancellor KNIORT BRUCE.) POWLES V. SAENZ. his HoNoun, in giving judgment, said this case was between the plaintiffs, English merchants, who had a house in London and in the State of New Granada, and the defendants, who were citiz, ns of New Granada. In 1841 and 1842 contracts were entered into, first between the plaintiffs and the Government of New Granada, and, secondly, between the plaintiffs and the defendants. By the first the plaintiffs contracted with the Government for 100,000 arobahs of tobacco annually, to be paid for by remittances ; and by the second, the defendants con tracted to consign to the plaintiffs in London 40,000 arobahs of tobacco, the defendants having permission to draw on them to a certain amount. A third contract was made between the plaintiffs and the defen dants and the Government of New Granada, but it did not affect the merits of the suit. The com plaint was, that subsequently to that third contract the defendants had failed to fulfil the terms of the second contract, and by sending the 40,000 arobahs, or part of them, to another house, had not only deprived the plain tiffs of their commission, but had injured their character in the tobacco market. An injunction was, therefore, applied for by the plaintiffs. His HONOUR said, that various questions of law, of equity, and of fact were raised by the case on which he had not felt his mind satisfied by the arguments, though able, which had been conducted before him. He the re fore thought he would do the least injury to any party concerned if he refused the motion, and reserved the costs. BURKETT V. RANSOM. His HONOUR said that the Court would grant an action at law in this case, if the parties concerned had wished it, and the more so as he himself bad felt inclined to have the opinion of a Court of law upon it, but as both plaintiff and defendant agreed to waive that election, he had considered the merits of the claim. The claim of George Goldsmith against the estate of the testator was for 1,0001., the amount of a promissory note. His Honour thought that the mere production of the note, and the proof of the testator's signature, the nudum factum, would have been sufficient to support the plaintiff's claim. But he had to consider it in the light of the evidence 'of Mr. Ransom, who was admitted on both sides to be a neutral party, whose evidence could be received without prejudice. He alleges that the tes tator told him he had promised George Goldsmith 1,0001., and that he had given that amount to Elliston Allan, without security, considering that the money would have been safe, but he had reason for fear from the state of Allan's affairs. Allan became bankrupt, and George Goldsmith meeting with the testator, reminded him of his promise, and asked security to the amount of 1,0001., in consequence of which the testator gave him the promissory note produced in the suit. The testator and Allan had since both died. The questions raised were, whether Goldsmith, before the note had been given him, had acquired an equitable right against the estate of the testator, or of Allan, that is, whether the note was for value given, and whether the testator was liable to make good to Goldsmith the value of the note. His HONOUR having commented on these questions decided that the claim should be admitted. - .. 1. ,:1, I.

Two amendments stand for discussion in the French Chamber of Deputies of considerable importance to this country, not from their intrinsic merit, or indeed for any new idea they convey, but for the angry debates and the expressions of national antipathies to which, in all pro bability, they will give rise. They come from two Mem bers of the Opposition always hostilely disposed towards England—MM. BERRYER and MAUGUIN—and the ob ject of their motions, therefore, cannot be misunder stood. The amendment proposed by the former is so vapid and pointless, that it comes under the character of a simple truism, and were the contingency to which it refers not of the most momentous consequence, it would require no notice. His words are :—" If peace should be disturbed by the conflict of the pretensions of two great nations, France reserves to herself the pri vilege of taking care that no attack be made on the prin ciples of public law, which protect on the . seas the liberty and the dignity of international relations." M. BERRYER is a good lawyer, he is an useful member of his party, and may be a very honest and worthy man ; but can any one deny that this motion is brought for ward in a malevolent spirit, or that it is either neces sary or becoming to make speeches and excite the worst feelings of human nature on an event which is contingent ? Besides, England has no wish to violate the principles of public law—she wishes to make no inroads upon French rights and privilege s, whether by land or sea, and M. BERRYER knows that the British Government, and we may add the British nation, would be the very last in the world to give any just cause of offence to France. Their happy unani mity on many great public questions of international law, their friendly relations, and their united power, have preserved the peace of the world for more than thirty years, and why, therefore, should any French senator, however high his name and autho rity, impute to England motives which have been contra dicted by her whole policy during that long period ? We, however, are not inclined to blame M. BERRYER entirely. We believe he has been insidiously urged to the step by the bitterest enemy of England— ono who, while he professes to be strongly attached to the English alliance, and who was received as a friend in this country, thinks and dreams of nothing else but a war between France and England, and the realisation of those ambitious schemes of BONAPARTE which led to his destruction, and which this vain man believes he is yet destined to accomplish. His object in this measure is obvious. It would be a great point ga t juPd ontild rn,pg.v nA.vions of the pc ople .. b -inst al. UUIZOT an d the .rdignsn—it ne blikin that the islanders are still the despots of the seas, and that it is the duty of every patriotic Frenchma❑ to join America or Russia, or any maritime power, to curb or subdue a nation which he regards as an eternal enemy of his country. His object is to work upon the worst passions of human nature, in order to lead to a war with England when she is engaged in a contest with America. But, like the ge neral policy_ of this statesman, such a mode of bene fiting France (if, indeed, any benefit could be derived from it), is in the highest degree contemptible and hu miliating, for he in fact admits what the English do not, the inferiority of his country, and her inability to contend single-handed against England. France is not a third-rate or a second-rate power. She is one of the first powers in the world, and w e know only one able to enter into contest with her. Why, therefore should she degrade herself into a condition in which she virtually admits that she cannot fight alone ? But this restless and mischievous personage has no national pride or real patriotism. He forgets that America insulted France with impunity, by insisting on compensation for losses said to have been sustained by the American merchants through the Berlin and Milan decrees. America demanded one mil lion sterling as the amende honourable. The Chamber of Deputies rejected the demand, but M. 'limns, and other patriots of the same stamp, interfered. The Chamber humbled itself, yielded and voted this large sum, which they did not consider due, and to which, in fact, the Americans had no just claim. And what apology can this fighting statesman make for the result of the Syrian affair? He brought France to the brink of war, and then miserably gave up the contest. Will gallant Frenchmen trust to such a leader ? will they follow his advice in forming an alliance with a people that have grievously insulted France, and attack their near.st neighbours—their best customers— and break up a connexion which every day is beaming more profitable to France, and which will be still further improved by the liberal tariff of Sir ROBERT PEEL ? We may, however, leave the defence of his policy to M. GULZOT. He can protect himself, and the only regret is that any state ments or arguments he may advance will not counter balance the mischievous effects produced on the people of both countries by the speeches of such orators as MM. TRIERS, MAUGUIN, BILLAULT, BEREVER, and DE LameirriNE. The amendment proposed by M. MAUGUIN requires no notice, for every person must concur in his sentiments, but still it is a peg on which to hang a hostile declaration. A double excitement seems to have seized upon Mr. BUS FEUD FERRAND, goading him on to the most outrageous demonstrations of his incapacity to forward the interests of a pricciple soirreparably lost as that of monopoly ; the excitement consequent upon the forlornness of his posi tion ; the excitement resulting from his invariable and and long-continued discomfiture. Allowing, therefore, for the impulses of such frequent rebuffs upon a disposi tion so acknowledgedly irritable as that of the Hon. Member for Knareaborough, we may possibly in some measure excuse a portion of his violence and a moiety of his absurdity. It; would, however, require an acu men absolutely superhuman to discover any wholesale means of palliation for the full extent of his extravagant and unstinted license of tongue ; nor could we readily produce a reasonable explanation of the precise rule of consistency upon which his proceedings bave been re gulated. For example, a more thorough forgetfulness of the requisites which should be expected in the repre. sentative of a constituency, but especially at this re markable epoch in our commercial legislation, could not, by any chance, have been evidenced than in the circum. stance of dragging forward Mr. GEORGE LANE Fox: as a candidate for the important seat of the West Riding of Yorkshire—that gentleman being perfectly incompetent to undertake the arduous duties of a Parliamentary ses lien, from the unfortunate debility with which his con stitution is afflicted. This oversight, or, probably, this vo reckie.sness on the part of Mr. FERRAND requires no elaborate commentaries to excite the opposition —we had almost exclaimed the iddignation—of all those sticklers for activity and enterprise in a Member of the Lower House, that must undoubtedly abouCfl to the loea.. lity. A proposition so manifestly unwise as that of noel nating Mr. Fox, is clearly an insult to every enfranchised Party in the West Riding ; and, in ori g inatin g this pro position, Mr. FERRA2ND has shown his inherent contempt for anything but the advantage of a p c o l p as u s ious He an w d ould ceereoiftitaention of bolstering t o h r e ail m y o v n ill o a p i o n l o i villainous; he wiinthtertfhereemn en lightenedaerfic e the district j h up e would se h w az h a i :d l) i t s h b et t s ) I S l t a ttt w el a t I t id of ni by tampering with the afflictions of huilaauity upon he the w i o ss u ue lcl stake the last remnant of his reputation 0 THE SUN ' EXPRESSES.

PEEL'S NEW MEASURE.— We beg pub licly to express our obligations to Mr. Rutherglen, bookseller, Glasgow, and likewise to the proprietors of the London Sun. for their kindness in forwarding to us, this morning, copies of the Extraordinary Express (third) Edition of that paper, containing the full Ministerial Statement of Sir Robert Peel, thus enabling us to present to our readers a more complete summary of the proposed measures than we would otherwise have been enabled to do.—Ayr Observer. The provincial press is greatly indebted to Mr. M. Young, the spirited proprietor of The Sun evening newspaper, for the exertions made by that gentleman in bringing the Par liamentary intelligence down to the latest possible period. The greater portion of Sir Robert Peel's speech, delivered in the House on Tuesday n'ght, was received at our office by daylight on Wednesday morning, although we are at a dis tance of 100 miles from London, and railroad communica tion being completed between us and themetropolis not more than two-thirds of the distance. Although we are opposed to The Sun in politics, yet we must be candid enough to state, that we can get later intelligence from this paper than flom any other of its evening contemporaries.—Lynn Advertiser. THE QUEEN'S SPEECH.—A third Express Edition of The Sun of Thurday last was handed to us early on Friday morning by Mr. T. Horn, bookseller and news-agent, of this town, containing a copy of the Queen's Speech, with copious reports of the speeches in both Houses of Parliament up to the latest possible moment. In this instance, as on all im portant occasions, the reports of The Sun were both longer and later than those published in any of the other evening papers.—Newcastle Courant. EARLY NEWS.—The Express Edition of The Sun, contain ing an admirable report of Sir Robert Peel's speech on Tues day night, was received by Mr. George Graham, chief clerk of the post-office in this city, at twenty minutes past one o'clock on Wednesday afternoon--or seventeen hours and a half after the delivery of the speech ! Such a feat of report ing and expressing was perhaps never surpassed, and is most creditable to the enterprising proprietor of The Sun, Mr. Murdo Young. The speech came by extraordinary express to Newcastle, and thence to Carlisle by the ordinary train. We are indebted to Mr. Graham for supplying us with an early copy.—Corlisle Journal. TILE PRESS AND THE EXPRESS.—An Express Edition of The Sun reached our office before daylight on Wednesday morn ing, containing ten columns of the debate. This was an ex traordinary instance of celerity, but " nothing new under the Sun" management, which has been so long noted for the effort 3 of dispatch made by i s public-spirited and most able proprietor, Murdo Young, Esq.— Western Times. ASIMURTON.—Great anxiety prevailed here with the Re formers on 'Wednesday morning last, waiting the result of Sir R. Peel's speech on the intended alteration of the corn laws, &c. About seven o'clock, A.M., the Third Edition of The Sun newspaper arrived per mail, which contained a great portion of the Premier's speech.— Western Times. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SU.I7: Sin,—l trust to your justice for the insertion of this com munication. A most unfounded charge was brought against Mr. C. J. Cahill at ➢farlborough-street Police-office, where I attended on his behalf, and the case was finally dismissed by the magistrate, notwithstanding an earnest request on the Part of the geetleman and the numerous friends who accom panied him that an adjournment for three or four days might be granted, in order to obtain the most conclusive evidence as to the nefariousness of the charge. It has been since dis covered that this was the result of a conspiracy to prevent that gentleman's attendance at a most important meeting, and nothing could have prompted the measure but motives of the deepest malice, for which the parties concerned will be most certainly and forthwith proceeded against.

A Lovia QUARREL.—Yesterday afternoon consider able amusement was created on Westminster-bridge, by the extraordinary conduct of a young man and woman, who, seemingly without any apparent cause, commenced throwing a quantity of edibles and wearing apparel with which they were loaded, over the parapet of the bridge into the Thames, having accomplished which, they both took different direc tions, seemingly very well satisfied at what each had done. From what could be gathered from a mutual friend, who in vain attempted to dissuade them from the destruction of their property, it appears that the young man, whose name is Wilmot, residing at Milbank, was about to be married to the young woman to-morrow, and that they had been out together making purchases for their wedding, and in crossing the bric'ge, Miss Brown, the bride elect, insisted that her in tended should wrap a worsted comforter round his neck to keep out the cold. He positively refused, a quarrel ensued, and the result was that they threw everything they had purchased, even to the ring and keeper, into the Thames. THE LATE FIRES IN DRURINLANE.—Last night Mr. Bedford concluded the inquiry which had been thrice ad journed, touching the origin of the three fires which lately and at different periods broke out in the premises, 90 and 91, Drury-lane. As on the former occasions, the inquiry was held at the Duke of Wellington. Evidence having reference to the insane woman, Harrison, brought to Bow -street Police-office yesterday, was taken, and the jury after being engaged for three- quartet s of an hour in deliberation, found the following verdict :—" That the premi ses N o. 90 and 91, Drury-lane, took fire respectively on the 11th and 14th of January, but how such premises so respectively took fire there is no evidence to satisfy the jury." The foreman, in the name of the jury, stated that no suspicion was attached to any one but the unfortunate woman alludedto.

Their LORDSHIPS delivered judgment this morning in the present case, which was a motion applied for a few days ago by Sir Thomas Wilde for a rule for a new trial, on the ground of misdirection. The action was one for libel, and was tried before the Lord Chief Justice in the last sittings after term. It arose out of the defendant having received a letter from the mate of the vessel, of which the former was master, charging him with drunkenness and other improper proceedings. The de fendant communicated the contents of the letter to Mr. Ward, the owner, in order that he might take such steps as he thcught expedient to protect the crew, the ship, and the cargo. The plaintiff was in consequence dismissed from the command of the vessel, and accordingly he brought the present action. A verdict was found for the defendant, on the ground that the letter complained of came under the head of privileged communications, and that he was morally bound to make such to the owner, if he had good reason to suppose danger to the property and crew; as otherwise the ship, and those in it, might be placed in great danger. Counsel showed cause against the rule, and the judg ment of the Court was delivered by Lord Chief Justice TINDALL, who declared that the letter complained of was a privileged communication, and that the rule ought to be discharged. Mr. Justice COLTMAN dissented from the judgment of the rest of their Lordships, and said, that after the most careful consideration he could not lot,k upon the letter as a privileged communication.— Rule discharged. CRIM. CON.—CLARKE V. DUNSFORD. Mr. Sergeant CHANNEL was heard this morning against a rule obtained by Sir Thomas Wilde a few days ago (a report of which appeared in The Sun) for a new trial or to enter a nonsuit. The point then raised by the defendant was, that the plaintiff had engaged to pro. duce material evidence on the trial relating to what took place in the county of Middlesex, whereas the only evi dence adduced was a letter from Mrs. Weekes, of Bath, to the defendant, relaecting the taking of lodgings in that city, which Counsel on that side contended was not at all material to the case, and was not at all necessary to the verdict. Yesterday, shortly before the rising of the Court, Mr. Sergeant Talfourd was heard against the rule, and this morning Mr. Sergeant Channel followed on the same side. Their LonDsliirs, on reviewing the whole case, were of cpiniou that the letter formed a connecting link in the proceedit.g, and that they had not heard sufficient to warrant them granting the application. Their decision, therefore, was, that the rule be discharged.—Rule dis charged accordingly. F'EROGATIVE -(THIS DAY.) (Before Sir HERBERT JENNER FUST. ADAIR V. SWETE. This was a proceeding to admit additional articles to revoke a codicil to the will of the late Sir Robert Adair. The allegation stated in 1839, at the time of the making of the codicil, the testator was wholly incapable of execut ing any testamentary document, and the articles averred that at the time the testator did not know who he left ex ecutors, whether he had any sons or not, and he would get up at night and walk about and think it was day. Sir lIERBERT JENNER FUST, in giving judgment, said, this proceeding must be rejected, as it now came too late, the case had been previously before the Court, and it might have then been pleaded. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) Mr. Joseph Ninch. of Fleet-4reet, paper-hanger, ap peared this day before Mr. Twyford for final examina tion upon a ehargeof forging a receipt for the purpose of defrauding Mr. Fitzpatrick, a solicitor. The evidence has already appeared in the columns of The Sun. The case had been adjourned from this day fortnight, at the prisoner's own wish, in order that the statement of another witness might be heard, and that he might not be taken by surprise at the sessions, but as Mr. Fitz patrick had determined not to call this witness, the prisoner was now committed to take his trial. Mr. TWYFOBD took bail for the prisoner's appearance at the sessions. SHREWSBURY and BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY COMPANY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—We have by many parties had our attention called to a report in your paper of a meeting of the shareholders, in Manchester, of the Dudley and Madeley Company,' in which the Secretary of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company is represented to have made various statements without a correct knowledge of the facts to which he was speaking. We should be wanting in our duty to the shareholders in the Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, and South Stafford shire Junction Company, whom we represent, did we not endeavour to prevent the public being misled by that want of information on his part. He, in the first place, is reported to have stated that the line proposed and introduced into the House of Commons last year, and lost on standing orders, was only a branch of tho Grand Junction Company when that rail way was proposed by the Grand Junction Company. The offer they made to the inhabitants of Shrewsbury was, that they might take the whole of the shares tor raising the required capital, and that the Grand Junc tion Company would take a lease of the line, guarantee ing 4 per cent. on the outlay, with an equal division of the profit afterwards, or that they might take what pro portion of such shares they might think fit, the remain der to be offered to the public generally, and if not by them taken, they, the Grand Junction Company, would, as a Company, retain them. Such arrangement was acted upon, and more than half the shares were taken in Shrewsbury, and by the public generally ; the remainder were taken by the Grand Junction Company. In the latter part of last year it was pro posed to the Grand Junction Company that the Shrewsbury Company should be remodelled, and that Company, with the greatest liberality, placed in the hands of the committee the whole of the shares retained by them in the former Company, and which shares were distributed with scrupulous care to parties locally in terested in the line (now caled the Shrewsbury, Wolver hampton, and South Staffordshire Junction Company), not one being given to the Oxford, Worcester, and W ol hampton Railway Company, to the South Staffordshire Junction Company, or to the Grand Junction Company, as stated by the secretary of the Shrewsbury and Bir mingham Railway Company. It is also necessary for us to state that the three Companies named, as holding so large a portion of the capital of the Shrewsbury, Wolver hampton, and South Staffordshire Junction Company are in no other way connected with it than by runnlng into the same station at Wolverhampton, which station is to be erected at the joint expense of the four Companies. We also avail ourselves of this opportunity of contra dicting another statement—viz., that the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company had .the support of the London and Birmingham Railway Company. We can confidently say that such is not the case, either directly or indirectly.—Your obedient servants, CHARLES CORSER, JAMES WHITNEY, Secretaries to the Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton, and South Staffordshire Junction Company, 38, Parliament-street, Jan. 30, LORDS' COMMITTEE ON RAILWAY BILLS.—In the UWASe of Lords, on Thursday, the following Peers were appointed to form a Committee "to consider the mode i n which the House shall deal with the railway Bills proposed to he submitted to the House during the present session," viz. : The Lord President of the Council, L or d P r i vy S eal, the Duke of Richmond, Marquis of Lansdowne, Earls Devon, Shaftesbury, home,Clarendon, G rey, an d S t.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUS. d ip Sin,—As there exists is strong probability that the e _ ferential pertion of the duty on sugars will, with all othot; of a like evil character, be speedily swept away, it i 9 ° charitable to suggest how this great a teration can be L fected in the best manner—that is, with justice to . I' s West India proprietors, the sugar consumers, and, sl oe same time, to the safety of the revenue. It is a matter of notoriety to those who frequent the sugar market s the bulk of the quantity imported from the West 111 0 i7j is much inferior to the various kinds which are prochrj, in other quarters of the world, being the result ; of tif long enjoyed monopoly ; in fact, the British West ee possess the unenviable fame of producing, with the ception of Peru, sugars of the lowest description s. l to This is not attributable to climate or soil, becsuier French islands of Martinique and Guadaloupe haltads actly the same, and the sugar produced in those is be is comparatively of good quality ; it is, ther efore, le op " • manufacture of the article that our colonist s fail. uniform rate of duty has hitherto been imposed Oboe British Muscovado sugar—of late that rate bits fo i r if 14s. per cwt. ; this arrangement has operated ec, to on some of the producers, while it has been prefita.!J, others ; for example, the sugars manufactured let_pn maica, St. Vincent, and Barbadoes, have all alongoTel, very superior to those sent to Europe from the mo r West India colonies: the amount of duty oug h t !' o ast. quently, to be apportioned to the worth of the l e is During the many ages the West India colonists we_rej the enjoyment of a pernicious monopoly no person to draw public attention to these inequalites--i,astihat ttl; verbally considered to be a black job altogeth er West Indians were classed as one favoured h° 42l Y, rest of the world ; but now that they are abeil`," ° ,sitit the protection of their monopoly, and to comP e 7, o tber all other producers of sugar, the affair assume s 6 4 1 0 00 aspect, and a distinction ought to be made in — be fore amongst them in imposing the duty, which , it ha cm s ssde' been stated, is 14s. per cwt. on good and bad Mel,. tie Now, what is Muscovado ? Can any person de' p gst, term beyond telling us that it is a n3ixture of 5 ,0 treacle, and dirt ? But in what exact proportions 'ior are the one to the other no one can prete nd to ll' less the sugar be analysed, and then that preevrosj only indicate the one sort tested, all the other kilwitooef contain very various proportions. A sug ht hieb buys, in his estimation the Muscovado sugar, I st usP the least quantity of treacle and dirt; but even i s fry as he is to the appearance and taste of the artivie,boot quently deceived: it follows, then, that the 'welt, gs o method of assessing the duty would be to tax at 50 per cent. ad valorem, which closely aPPrclitesashl the present rate, letting the ' purchasers pay t he d r Oct of their want of judgment; but then comes the (1- , e i vitV how is an ad valorem duty to be carried into effef'lt out subjecting the revenue to considerable risit h ' n" ve rte true there may be a juggle between seller and...Ambc the injury of the revenue, if the sale be effect'hui vale contract; but if all sugars are sold at Pu":,,pper tion that chance ceases, for it is impossible te that two or three hundred buyers - would ec cj " defraud! The Government should, therefore, woo that all sugars should be sold at auction; t he to r this mode be anything new to the practice a 'a i .odf; kets, for many sales are made in such a man ner so so for instance, nearly all the Barbadoes sego! jfit'it sold, a large proportion of the sugars from ° l •f o reir the Mauritius, the East Indies, and (NM e ar settlements, are in a like way put up to Pu blic an ° petition ; in fact, the sale of sugar bl, ee li ptiT A is s the general rule—the private sale the e - b e the trouble of apportioning the duff t ° would occasion some expense at the ustobrootlis that expense might be defrayed by a small ste l lbreli e f i original catalogue—the one on which the eell' e feteb marks down the prices which the vrrious lase, meant; this, after the sale has closed, might he as Pee' and transmitted to the Customs for the officers gels!" rs and then returned to the broker.
