'" .* A Discount to the Trade. THE SPEAKERSHIP. (From the Liverpool Albion of Monday. ) The anxiety of the public to know the result of the first division in the House of Commons, on the question of the Speakership was most intense, throughout this town, during the early part of Fri day. The announcement made by Mr. Willmer, that he would receive, by express, the result of the division in the course of the forenoon of that day, caused groups of persons to congregate about his newspaper-office at an early hour, and his doors were besieged by anxious bystanders until the arrival of the express, shortly be fore three o'clock. Independent of the immense importance of the question itself, as virtually deciding the fate of the present Ad ministration, many persons, particularly the Tories, had staked sums of money,—in some instances, to a large amount,—on the result ; so that most of the hangers-on about Mr. Willmer's esta blishment, on Friday, had a pecuniary as well as a patriotic interest in the decision of the question. Many .of them became extremely fidgetty as the morning advanced, and the anxiety manifested, as well as the conversation indulged in, by these parties, must have been infinitely amusing to the few who were really disinterested, if, indeed, any such were to be found. We understand from Mr.Willmer. that the late arrival of the ex press was principally owing to the night of Thursday being so excessively stormy, which, combined with the heavy state of the roads, prevented the messenger from travelling with the same ra pidity as formerly. A circumstance also occurred, shortly after leaving Warrington, which was the cause of some delay, and might have been attended with very alarming results. Our Warrington neighbours are known to be very decided in their political senti ments, but we could hardly have imagined that the most rabid Tory among them would have descended to such an act of baseness as to take out the linch-pin from the wheel of the chaise that con veyed the express announcing the defeat of their protege, Sir Charles Manners Sutton ! Such, however, is the fact. The Tories of Warrington, or, at least, one of their number, actually caused the linch-pin of the carriage to be abstracted, and, after leaving Warrington. the chaise broke down, and the driver was thrown to a considerable distance, without, however, incurring any serious injury. The messenger inside also escaped with a few scratches. The post-boy is ready to make oath, that he examined all the linch-pins, when in Warrington, and found them perfectly secure, a few minutes before leaving. When the express reached Liverpool and the result became known, the greatest enthusiasm was exhibited, Three cheers were given by the crowd congregated in Church-street ; and, when the news reached the Exchange News-room, similar joy was manifested by the Reformers there. The Sun newspaper, to the exertions of whose spirited proprietor we, in common with our contemporaries, have been frequently indebted for information in advance of other evening papers, contained the whole of the de bate, extending to seven folio columns. Copies were immediately dispatched to the various news-rooms, and the result was trans mitted by telegraph to Holyhead, where steam-boats had been provided to carry it to Dublin. The afternoon was, fortunately, very clear, and Lieutenant Watson, the able superintendent of the telegraph, was enabled to pass the numbers of the division to the Head in five minutes after the time he was put in possession of them. An express, direct from London to Holyhead, reached the latter place at eleven, p.m., but, from the amazing rapidity of our telegraphic communication, the citizens of Dublin were in posses sion of the news an hour after the former express reached Holy head. The facilities of the telegraph enabling Lieutenant Watson to communicate the information to all the leading persons in the neighbourhood of each station, the most complimentary thanks have been returned to him, by the same conveyance, from the va rious distinguished persons who, by his ingenuity, were put in possession of it long in advance of the ordinary channels of com munication. In the evening the bells of the churches of St. Luke and St. Ni cholas rang merry peals in celebration of the event. The sound must have been rather gratifying to the ears of the Tories ; the bells, however, are strictly impartial,. and, as they rang merry peals in honour of the triumph of the Tories in the southern division of the county, so, having no " party predilections," they rang as merrily in honour of the triumph of the Reformers in the House of Commons. The Nottingham steamer carried the news from Holyhead to Dublin, and arrived at Kingston a few minutes before twelve o'clock at night. An express was directly forwarded to the Lord Lieutenant at Phoenix Park. Had the other packet waited and acted, as previously arranged, the communication would have been in Dublin from three to four hours sooner. The Dublin Evening Mail of Friday states :—" Twenty minutes past twelve o'clock, p.m. Notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather, our first express has arrived, bringing intelligence, by telegraph, that ' Mr. Abercromby has been elected Speaker by a majority of ten.' And the same paper, in a third edition, dated half-past nine, Satur day, says, "No other account of the result of the election has reached Ireland, although all our morning contemporaries delayed their publications some hours, in expectation of receiving intelli gence." And, at twelve o'clock, it states, that " the mail has ar rived, and has brought a Second Edition of The Sun, expressed by the Messrs. Johnston." Consequently, the news, through the means of the telegraph, actually reached Dublin the night before the other express arrived.—N. B. The telegraph had the news from The Sun. PRICE 7D. same constituents, and who withdrew their support on this subject from a Government to which they had given such proofs of attachment and devotion, will transfer it to and ther, of which from the former political opinions of its mem bers, they must entertain the most just and well-founded suspicions? On the other hand, the-public-papers announce that a bolder and broader scheme of reform is in contem plation than any which the former Governments would have dared to attempt. If this is so, it must go far beyond the application of church property to " ecclesiastical purposes," either to give the promise of peace to that distracted coun try, or satisfaction to the House of Commons. • The original seizure of the endowments of the national Church of Ireland, and their application to the support of an establishment hostile to the consciences and feelings of five-sixths of the population, was a grievous act of wrong and oppression, as contrary to the interests and principles of true,. Protestantism, as to those of sound policy and rational Government. The conversion of the people at least, if that was the object of their governors, has 'not followed from this act of injustice. Catholicism has flourished and increased; and a state of con fusion, discord, and anarchy, arising from religious animo sity, has followed, such as has not disgraced the Government :any other country in the civilized world. The interest andof Protestantism would have been infinitely more crew. ' extended under-the maintenance of the Catholic Church, if its pastors and profess,, s had pursued the same inexorable course in the exaction o fit ...es as their Protestant succes sors have adopted, by which Go znments have been made odious to the people, and civilization renjered nearly hopless. iild Some course between the two systems ss.: been the iwiser policy in the first instance, as it would ow, to se cure the one great end in which -all classes of Cbs:istians must agree,—the moral improvement of the people. be 2 The same oppressive measure attempted in Scotland, was h ippily defeated in that country by the bravo resistance of I.er inhabitants. A comparison of the results of the two systems probably saved Canada. on the conquest, from a similar attempt. No person acquainted with the history of that colony will be found to regret the wise and just policy which suggested a more extended liberality in her case, than might have been necessary to establish peace, har mony, and the foundations of solid improvement amongst all -classes of the Irish population, with perfect security to the interests of Protestantism, and the rights and pro perty of our Protestant fellow-subjects. No broad and bold scheme; not laslding out well-founded hopes of ef fecting both these objects, is worth the time which will be wasted in the discussion of it. The reformation of the Irish Church is not more required, than its reduction within the pre sent and probable future wants of the congregations of its esta blishment. The application of its large surplus revenue to purposes' of education and moral improvement, in such manner, and under such management, as may be accepta ble to the mass' of the population, would seem to be the least objectionable appropriation of this national fund. No measure short of this would have been accepted by the last House of Commons from a liberal Government. In their determination to enforce this principle they broke up Lord Grey's Cabinet, and while the question remains un settled, it will be the rock on which any future Government must be shipwrecked. My opinions on this subject have never varied, and. were stated, before I joined the late Administration,. both to my colleagues, and in the House of Commons, without the smallest disguise or reservation ; but I hope no person will misunderstand me as intending to support any mea sure which should interfere with the security of the Pro testant Church, much less with that of the Protestant in habitants of Ireland. There is no class of the King's subjects who deserve, or in the end, may require, more, the protection of the Legislature—nor is there any , whether belonging to the Church of England, or to the different denominations of Protestant Dissenters, for whom I enter tain deeper feelings of respect and esteem. If, in the un seemly strife which has so long been permitted to prevail amongst Christians in that unhappy country, mutual recrimi nations have been more apparent than those feelings of charity and good will, which their common faith would have pre scribed, the fault is to be attributed wholly to misgovernment, and to a system which, it is to be h o ped, is now on the eve of a thorough reformation. It is perieCtly consistent with oar views, and in every respect necessalTs to combine with the most liberal measures for the satisfacon of the Catholic population, adequate provisions against anj dan ger to be justly apprehended from a revival of the ascensl ancy of the Catholic Church. No measure will be ac ceptable to the country, which shall leave the Protestant minority exposed to the possibility of persecution, either in their religious or temporal interests. The sinecure emo luments ( f the Church Establishment, and the expected enjoyment of them, by those who consider their mainte nance of more consequence than the peace and civilization of the country, are the only sacrifices necessary to effect a reasonable settlement. On other subjects, I need scarcely refer to the opinions I have so often expressed to you. Every proposition for the redress of the complaints, and the removal of the exclu sions and disabilities, under which the Dissenters shall la bour, or which shall have for its object, the placing them, in respect to ease of conscience, and the enjoyments of civil rights and advantages, on an equal footing with their fellow-subjects, will have my cordial support. We have happily the experience of the Bill passed two years ago, for the reformation of the Corporations in Scot land, as a safe guide on that question. No person can dream of proposing a less efficient measure for England. The apprehensions of the most timid Conservative on this ssabject, may be easily removed by reference to the state of quiet, contentment, and peace, that has reigned in the towns of Scotland since the provisions of that Bill came into operation. On these and other points, all that is requir ed is, that the general wishes and good of the community, shah be preferred in our future legislation to narrow views, and the selfish clamour of parties interested in upholding a system of monopoly and exclusion. It would be too much. to expect, that in our present state of society, there should neither be visionary theorists, nor unprincipled politicians, whose schemes, if they had the power to enforce them, might threaten the safety or extend to the destruction of our best institutions. A great deal is said by one party of their influence both in and out of doors ; certainly not hitherto justified by any encouragement of their doctrines from the Reformed House of Commons, or the general constituency of the country. If we have these representa tives of extreme opinions on the one band, there are at least a sufficient number on the other to cope with them in •arliament ; and it is better that both should meet in the same arena, where, by a mutual expression of opinion, the advantages of the best practical principles may be made manifest to the country. The same correction could not be applied, while the Utopian professor of Pure-isiii, or the real Destructive, had only the means, and enjoyedihe ex clusive practice of recommending his nostrums out of doors ; and exhibited ready examples of the evils for which he proscribed ,his remedies, in the abuse of an unrer:ormed Go vernment. We may place full confidence for a security against dangers of this description, in the sound sense and intelligence of the new constituency. There are other dangers of a more difficult character to deal with, which may even be increased by the destruction of the present Administration, but which must either give way to firinness and temper on the part of the House of Commons, or in volve those from whom they are to be apprehended in greater evil, than it is in their power to inflict upon the country. We need not be scared with the alarm of revo lution, if all classes will reconcile themselves to the changes that have taken place, and their necessary consequence—a popular Administration. I know of no limit to the progressive march of amend ment, adapting itself to the wants of our ever changing con dition of society, provided it be guided by caution, prudence, and wisdom, and that. time is given for ample discussion and reflection before measures are ultimately adopted. If we will only consent to go on—it is in vain either to attempt to go back or to stand still (and we have already gone too far, if that was to be the policy)—our own institutions will pass safely through this, as they have passed through se vcrer trials in the history of the country. If, on some points, the people have been pertinacious and impatient—if there has been pressure from without—how deeply are for mer Administrations responsible for it ! No concession has been made in time or graciously—no just right has been admitted—no grievance relieved—until an irresistible array of strength on the part of the people has been resort ed to, for the enforcement,of redress, denied to their just but un availing petitions. • The unparalleled vexations of the tithe system in Ireland, aggravated by the tyrannical proceedings in the Ecclesiastical Law Courts, were only at last re dressed, because it was found impossible to persevere in them. The disqualifications of the Catholics were not re moved till the fidelity of the troops could no longer be re l. ed upon. The Test and Corporation Acts were only re p in obedience to an opposition too strong for re sistance. The great struggle for Reform itself took its im mediate rise from the refusal to transfer the elective franchise from two miserable boroughs, convicted of its abuse, to the powerful communities of Manchester and Leeds, then de prived of the smallest voice in the national coun cils. The hopelessness of the least concession to popular rights and feelings, was still further evinced by the declares the first Minister of the Crown—that the anoma ern, so long in 0:5-ctice. and so long complained of, best that could be decsed, and admitted of no bu. • [provement. In the course of the struggle, wberi , wn had recommended to ParliAment compliance prayers of the people, the violent resistance of the rchy led to the formation of Political Unions, and lay of force, which the Duke of Wellington and thg Jf Lords found it impossible to cope with, before the of the bill. What became of . the Political Unions, e agitation of the period had been allowed to sub side, during the latter part of Lord Grey's, and the whole of Lord Melbourne's administration ? If the difficulties of governing the country have been seriously increased by madly entering into these contests with the people, proving at the same time an indisposition to place the least -confi dence in them, and their ability to wring from the hands of unwilling poWer a larger share in the administration -of their own affairs, who is to blame for it ? As far as my expe rience goes, pressure from without has been generally pct.- ceded, and often justified by, an obvious reluctance within, to keep pace with the. reasonable demands of public opinion. —I do not mean to contend for the infallibility either of the public, or their Representatives hr the House of Commons. Both are liable to error ; 'Rad in the history of popular Governments, there are abund ance of lamentable instances of their acts having .been regulated, rather by the passions and feelings of the. client, than by calm reason and a sober judgment of their bearings and consequences. These defects are part of the price we pay for the inestimable advantages of governing ourselves. My point, is, that it is in vain in the present state of our representation, as settled by the Reform Bill, for any Government to undertake the management of the public affairs, which does not cordially and willingly adopt the views .of a large majority of the' representatives of the people. We are too much addicted to the use of general terms, in these- discussions. What does pressure from without mean, and how is it to . be resisted? Let us come to specific facts. The only instances in my recollection, of pressure from without, in the last House of Commons, were,—on the Irish Church, faluiry into the Pension List, and for Reduction of Taxation. an the first, the rejection of the 147th clause of the Church Teinuoralities' Bill, by the House of Lords, raised suspicions, wbich were con firmed, upon ascertaining that a difference of opinion existed in the Cabinet with regard to the principle involved in that provision. On the second, the Representati7es acted upon feelings entertained and strongly expressed, from 'John O'Groat's House to the Land's End ; a ;:d I confess, on these two points I saw nothing either wina ,.!iral or unreasonable in the pressure, and experience seareelyt,,nms to justify the policy adopted of resisting it. On the last, e,crOinl.Y, looking to the great efforts made by the Government tt; reduce the expenditure, and the snecess with which they w ere attended (for I believe in three years they had - reduced nearly a fifth of the whole expenditure within their control), the pressure did seem a little severe ; but then this was an evil o f old standing, to which Unre formed Parliaments were a; - liable as Reformed ones. There is little appearance, front what I see passing on the several hustings, of a remedy haling been found for it, in the recent dissolution. " An ignorant impatience of taxation," as the late Lord Castlereagh termed it ; an overwhelining debt, and the complaints of our beggared farmers, struggling with money prices against paper rents—with all the fruits of our paper currency, of the wisdom which dictated Mr. Vansittart's resolution ; in one year, that a pound note and a shilling were equal to a guinea —in another, that they only repre sented fifteen ; of the measure of 1819 and 1822, the last producing ath the "permanent" prosperity of the beginning of 1825, and the ruin which desolated the com mercial world in the end of that year ; all these were the inheritances of a Whig Government and a Reformed Par liament, from their predecessors. It is to be hoped the country will not be placed under deeper obligations, by the more popular Governments, which must hold the helm for the next half century. It is scarcely in the nature of things to exect that men, hitherto acting on such different principles, will now turn over an entirely new leaf, and sincerely concur in adopting a revolution effected in despite of their most strenuous op position. In Sir Robert Peel, personally, I should feel as much confideme as I do unfeigned respect for his character and abilities, if I had sufficient grounds on which to form •a belief that he would act on this feeling, lookinc , back to the past only for experience, and forward only to those effi cient reforms and amendments which can alone 'obtain for any English Minister the support of Parliament and of the nation. It is impossible to feel the smallest reliance in some of his colleagues, or in the views of a large proportion of his supporters, who belong to that class, which was said, on their return to a neighbouring country, after a convulsion which had uprooted the instituions of centuries, to have for gotten nothing, and to have learnt nothing. Every association, however, connected with Sir Robert Peel, his connection with the progress and changes which led ultimately to the Reform Bill, and with the intelligence, the advancing power, and the wealth of the country, might encourage hopes that he would take distinguished part in leadity , and regulating measures of a oelioration, rendered difficult of arrangement., by a re ,k.ta„ce 100 long and too successfully opposed to the wants and wishesreflecting the and instructed portion of the community. On ; he other hand, the first act of his Go vernment, the dissolu,:on of the Parlia men t, i s a severe drawback from these expec,!ations. That must have been decided by influences hostile to any real reconciliation with the people, and in utter ignorance of the general feelings of the country. The changes in the returns hitherto an nounced are principally from the old constituencies of some of the larger towns, and in smaller boroughs, where the conversion of a lesser number of voters was Officient to effect the object, and can deceive no one who has the least experience on the subject. These alterations have been as much regulated by public opinion as the nomination of a large majority of the Cabinet. The addition to the Tory ranks will only make the Administration of future govern ment more difficult, and possibly lead, from the transactions connected with the elections, to further claims for Reform. It cannot in the least affect the march of political events. No Parliament now elected, or hereafter to be :lected, in England, will, in the sense applied to that word by one party, be more Conservative than the last one. Whatever may be your judgment of the views stated in this let: ,thened address, either with respect to the past, the present, of the future, I know you will at least belies a that they are the roult of a deliberate and conscientious ..consi deration of the cirezzmstances of the country. Having acted for manjyears zea!ously and devotedly in the ranks of one of the two great political parties in the State, I cannot expect credit in this rest ct from those who impute to all public men the adaptation of their opinions to the ob- ject of obtaining power and place. So far from seeking office on my first appointment, I con siklered the acceptance of it the greatest sacrifice I could make to strong personal f:iendship and attachment. When the Reform Bill was I resigned my situation, certainly with no intention of returning to the public service. .A se cond appeal, on the same grounds, overcame any repug nance (increased by experience) to official employment ; aml the loss of health entailed by the labours of the last session, would have compelled me again to retire, if subse quent,events had left me an option on the subject. No considerations of this description can therefore in fluence my feelings or my conduct ; and I know of no event likely to interfere with my desire to devote such attendance as it may be in my power to give in the House of Commons excluslvely to your service. In the proceedings of the present Parliament, I shall feel the greatest interest in protecting the public in the impend ing conflict of parties ; and my conduct will be directed by the hope, that we may yet be able to - find some means of averting our present dangers , and securing the constitution in the crisis to be appreended from recent events. The only reward I shall look for, will be in the continuance of that approbation, which you have hitherto expressed, of my execution of the trust you have so long confided to me. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your faithful and humble servant, EDWARD ELLICE.

It appears that the father and mother had gone out and left two boys in the workshop, where a quantity of shavings were lying about : one of them procured a light and set fire to a few of the chips, and in a minute or two the sparks communicated to the shavings. The utmost alarm prevailed for some time, and before any assistance could be rendered, the stock in the shop was entirely consumed. Several engines and firemen were in attendance shortly after the alarm was first given, and after the application of an immense quantity of water on the flames, the fire was got und,r and the upper part of. the house, with tho furniture, &c. saved. The children received /Jo injury. Mr. Walker is insured in the Glbe Fire office.

GENTLEMEN, -- I have just learnt, through the public papers, that in my absence you have again conferred upon me the honour, and entrusted me with the duties, of your representation. I know, as yet, none of the circumstances or occurrences of the election—none of the causes which led to Mr. Bulwer's retirement , fro m an y other source than that which has informed me o f my own.return. My grati tude is, however, wholly due to those friends whom it has been my good fortune to preserve through the various and difficult contests to which they have been exposed on my behalf; and to the large body of electors who have uniformly and consistently supported them in maintaining those prin ciples which have so long connected us as constituents and Representative. Had it been their pleasure to place their have relieved me from its ;."". creasing duties, I should have representation in Ot,l.ier and more efficient hands , and t o felt satisfied that their deeision been dictated by a full sense of the emergency under which they tverecalled upon to make it, and have acknowledged my oblth-:.!ions for their past unvarying attachment. I will now return England with as little delay as possible, to attend to those duties your good opinion has again imposed upon me, and trust that I may arrive nearly in time for the commence ment of the business of Parliament, during which my at tention will be unremittingly directed to promote and pro tect your local interests. In the meantime, as it has not been in my power to offer these explanations on the hust ings, which' "ne due on similar occasions from a candidate to a conseitiency, it is my duty to take the earliest oppor tunity of assuring you, that my political opinions have un dergone no change, and that I shall be guided in the future performance of my Parliamentary duties by the same prin ciples which must have secured for me this last and greatest proof of your oonfidence. My best efforts will continue to be directed to the removal of every just grievance, to the suppression of all abuses in the administration of public affairs, to the enforcement of the most rigid economy, and to the decided march of such judicious and salutary re forms in our various institutions, .as the admitted abuses and defects in many of them, the progressive changes in society, and the advancing spirit of knowledge and infor mation, require. I will support the repeal of the Septen nial Act, rendered ridiculous except for party purposes, by the recent most unnecessary and indefensible dissolution. Although I do not so clearly see as others, who profess to have inquired more deeply into the subject, the advantages of substituting the ballot for open voting, I fully admit that the people have a right to the best protection that can be devised for the independent exercise of their elective franchise ; and if proofs are adduced that it has been in vaded by undue practices at the recent elections, or sufficient arguments are offered in discussion, to convince me that the ballot will secure that protection, I shall have no hesitation in voting for it. It has always appeared to me that the advantages expected, and the dangers appre hended, from such a deviation from our long-established practice are equally over--ated. If I entertain grave doubts on the subject, they arise from a reluctance to ex change the protection against the influence of wealth, and the intimidation of power, which the action of public opi nion on the open exercise of the franchise now affords, for the uncertain security, against practices of bribery and cor ruption, which the ballot would give us ; we must be cau tious in our endeavours to find a remedy for one evil, not to incur the danger of another. With respect to other points connected with the Re form Bill, I am perfectly Willing to assist in removing such defects and imperfections as experience may have shown to exist in the first enactment ; but I shall be equally reluc tant to depart from the great landmarks on which that measure was originally introduced. My chief desire is to see a government prepared to act with firmness and decision up to those principles which would have found ample sup port from a vast majority of the last House of Commons. It is difficult at this distance, and with no other information _.. _ than the papers give me, to state so explicitly and can didly, as has been my custom at our elections, my general views on the existing state of affairs. No events, in my opinion, could have been more disastrous for the country than the late change of Government and the dissolution of Parliament. The first probable result of the agitation and excitement occasioned by them, may be the defeat of the pre sent Administration, on the first vote in the new House of Commons. Unless public opinion has undergone an entire revolution, this Ministry cannot have been successful in obtaining the election of a House of Commons with which it will be possible for them (perhaps not for any other Government, from the closer division of parties, and the struggles it must produce) to carry on the ordinary public business of the country with facility and dispatch, if they should even succeed in getting into that state of probation, which they only profess to desire. The reaction in public feeling, on which these measures are said to be justified, exists only in the minds of men who either do not under stand, or cannot appreciate, the occurrences of the last four years. A great revolution has taken place in the distribution of the power by which the Government of the country is con ducted. Up to the passing of the Reform Bill, including the short period of the Administration of the Duke a Wellington, who made the unsuccessful experiment to ceinbine a great reduction in patronage and the means of corruption, with the administration of public affairs in an unreformed House of Commons, the whole power of the Government was in the aristocracybf the country. The smaller boroughs, the whole representation of Scotland, and a large proportion of that of Ireland, were entirely in their hands. Their landed possessions gave them a para mount influence in the county elections. The small por tion of members returned by the large towns were sufficient only, with the assistance of public opinion and the press, to prevent greater abuses of that power than those of which the public so loudly complained. It is useless to re-enter upon the discussion of the Re form since effected, or, according to the different views of parties, of the merits or demerits of those who assisted or opposed the people in that great contest. All now agree in submission to the main principles on which the question must be considered to be settled. But are all equally ready to abide by the necessary consequences of that settle ment ? It has transferred the power of the Government from the aristocracy to the electors qualified under the provisions of the Bill, and the only Administration that can maintain peace and give satisfaction to the country must march in accordance - with - their opinions. No person can deprecate more than myself the conti nuance of agitation. There was none at the time of the dismissal of the late Government. The advisers of the measures which have led to a revival of it, must be respon sible for the consequences. He must be a wiser person than I pretend to be, who can foretel the extent of them. There is only one - point on which there can be no difference of opinion. If it appears, from the character of the re turns, and the preponderating feeling in the new House, that neither the individuals, nor the measures of the Admi nistration (for it is impossible to separate them), are likely to obtair, sufficient support to enable the Government to conduct our affairs with efficiency and confidence, nothing can add more to our already overwhelming difficulties, than what is called "a fair trial," or, in other words, allowing them to totter on from day to day, to their certain fall, wasting the public time, and aggravating still more, in una vailing discussions, the bitterness and rancour, of which the first symptoms are evident in the elections. Can they, or will they, govern on the principles entertained by the last House of Commons, for there cannot be the slightest doubt that a great majority of the present will entirely sympathise in, if they do not go beyond, them. This may soon be ascertained on their promised measure for the reformation and reduction of the Irish Church Establishment. This question has occasioned the greater part of our embarrass ments since the return of the first Reform Parliament, and has, either directly or indirectly, led to the destruction of the two last Governments. In this respect an useful lesson may be at least derived from past experience. Why was it necessary that Lord Stanley and Sir James Graham should retire ? And why did their friends, agreeing with them on all other subjects, most reluctantly consent to the sacrifice of their personal feelings, in being obliged to sepa rate from them ? Because it was ascertained that the prin ciple, insisted upon by them, of restricting the appropria tion of the Church revenue of Ireland exclusively to " ec clesiastical purposes," was in opposition to the views of the House of Commons, and that it was impossible to conduct an Administration, goaded day by day with notices of mo - tions to affirm the principle of a different appropriation, withdrawn several times from a fear of breaking up the Go varnment ; and at last persisted in, in despair of an agree ment in the Cabinet on the subject. Sir Robert Peel's declaration distinctly affirms the prin ciple contended for by Sir James Graham and Lord Stanley, and is the only very explicit statement in his address to his constituents. Can those members of the late Government, or Parliament, who consented to sacrifice their friends, now turn round and support an Administration with whom they I have the same difference on this vital question, and as far as . Can be yet seen, little agreement on any other? Or is it ex pected that a majority of representatives, elected by the DEPARTURES. •The Rev.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The discussion was resumed last night. The speakers in support of the address, were Mr. Robinson, Lord Stormont, Lord Stanley; Mr. Praed, Colonel Chatterton, Colonel Pereeval, Mr. Goulburn, and Mr. Baring; those who spoke in favour of the amendment, were Mr. Ward, Captain Berkeley, Dr. Lushington, Mr. Sheil, Mr. H. Grattan, Lord J. Russell, and Mr. D. W. Harvey. We direct attention to the speech of Lord John Russell, who made an attempt to persuade the House that there existed no difference of opinion among the members of the Melbourne Cabinet on the question of Irish Church Reform, but the noble Lord was unlucky enough to state the nature of his own opinion on that subject, and Mr. Goulburn immediately demonstrated from the reported speeches of members of the Melbourne Cabinet, especially from one of Lord Brougham, that Lord John Russell's opinion was at variance with that of some of his late colleagues. Mr. Goulburn, too, exposed the weakness and the disingenuousness of the whole harangue, in framing which, the chief end of the ',me Lord anneara to have been to obtain the " sweet voices" of his new allies and former opponents. We ihall, if we have room, notice the debate to.morrow at greater length.— Times. The second night's debate on the Address to the Throne in answer to his Majesty's Speech proceeded most triumphantly for the cause of good government, and social security and peace, in Great Britain, which the public indeed must know from the momeirt that we have mentioned the names of Mr. Secretary Goulburn, Mr. Baring, and Mr. Praed, as among its advocates. These distinguished senators proved themselves to be the fit and worthy auxiliaries of Sir Robert Peel, not merely by overthrowing the arguments of their opponents, which was comparatively an easy task, but by encountering what may be considered the greatest difficulty by which the talent of an orator can be tried, and achieving in this hazardous encounter the most splendid success—the difficulty, we mean, of following upon the same subject a consummate master of the art. Of the magnificent oration of the Premier on the first night of the debate it is impossible to speak in terms of adequate praise. It has produced upon the temper, feelings, and opinions of society, the greatest and most immediate effect that, per. haps, ever flawed from any single effort; and has literally left the Whigs without the shadow of an apology, or pretext for the .fac. tious, disloyal, and reckless course upon which they have entered. It is impossible, we will venture to say, for any man to have read that speech without being convinced of these three propositions :—First, that the present Government mean to bring and to urge forward with promptitude, sincerity, and zeal every measure of improvement in the institutions of the country that is necessary for its welfare, or capable of being carried into effect in the present state of the public mind without such a struggle between conflicting portions of society as would produce evils more than equiponderant with any benefit which the most sanguine advocates of these changes can affect to anticipate from [heir immediate adoption. Secondly, that the present Government pos sesses in a greater degree than any other that can be constituted the neces sary influence and authority to secure the willing acceptance of the re. forms it has determined to propose by the three branches of the legislature. And, thirdly, that the banded confederates of the Opposition are, from the essential contrariety of their principles, and from the mutual opi nions of and feelings towards each other which they entertain, and have recently expressed, in a state of moral and political incapacity to furnish the materials of a consistent and harmonious Government, to replace that which it is their common purpose, the single purpose which they have in common, to overthrow. These propositions have, we af. firm, been established by the unanswered and unanswerable speech of Sir Robert Peel in a manner which may defy refutation, and which cannot fail to set the mind of the nation completely at rest upon the whole of them. The effect upon the national mind is already manifest, and it is now universally acknowledged by moderate and reflecting men of the most opposite political and party predilections that the main. tenance of the existing Administration and the defeat of its factious and spiteful assailants have become a public interest of the most vital im. portance.—Morning Post. HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.—Yesterday morning as the House of Commons was about to adjourn, the Chan cellor of the Exchequer presented, by command of his Majesty, copies of the report of the Lords of the Council upon the evidence taken respecting the destruction by fire of the two Houses of Parliament ; and of the evidence taken there upon. They were ordered to be printed. These proceedings were not heard in the gallery, owing to the noise made by Members quitting the House. The Chancellor of the Ex chequer at the same time intimated that on Monday next he should move the appointment of a Committee respecting " New Houses" of Parliament. The houses taken in Parlia ment-street, Great George-street, &c., for offices for the House of Commons are engaged for three years certain, within which time it is hoped that new houses and offices may be provided. The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland arrived, on Tues day, at two o'clock, at his house in Berkeley-square, from Dublin. His Lordship left the Castle, at Dublin, on Satur day, shortly after the arrival of the mail, with the result of the division on the choice of the Speaker of the House of Corn nr:ons. His Lordship had a most dangerous and tempestuous passage across the Irish Channel, which materially delayed his arrival in London. It was the intention of his Lordship to have visited his Majesty previous to the delivery of his Speech to the two Houses of Parliament; but with the utmost dispatch in travelling, he only reached London at the instant the King was entering the House of Lords. His Lordship was in ex cellent health. THE STRANGER IN AMERICA.—The writer of these volumes is the editor of the " Encyclopedia Americana," and is probably the person most fitted to perform the task of being commentator on the political institutions and social state of America, of all those who have figured in that character. Besides being a man of high talent, of most extensive general information, and of habits of philosophic investigation, he has acquired extensive experience as a traveller in Europe. In truth, we have read no work but one on the same subject in which there is so much interesting matter. It is presented to us in the form of letters, which, if not so methodical as those of Washington Irving, contain an equal quantity of matter, with rather more variety, and are written in a style vet more vivacious, and abounding in illustration.---Morning A melancholy accident recently occurred at a village in the North of France. A countrywoman returning home about half-past six in the evening, was stopped near her own house by a figure dressed in white and disguised by a mask, who stretched out his arms to impede her progress. The poor creature, frightened to death, cried out for help and ran away as fast as she could. She reached her own door, but was im mediately seized with the pains of labour, and shortly gave birth to a child, perfectly black, from the fright which too mother experienced. The unfortunate woman died alrest im mediately, leaving a family of six young children.
