Member for Montrose is at length fairly under discussion in the House of Commons. It could not possibly be expected that a subject of such vixst importance—so deeply affecting the best inte rests of the industrious classes, and involving the future tranquillity of the nation—could be disposed of at a single sitting. The debate was, therefore, necessarily adjourned, and although the Premier at first declared that " in the present state of public business he could not consent to give up a Government night for the discussion," it was subsequently arranged, on the remonstrance of the Hon. Member for the West Riding of Yorkshire, who truly depicted the great anxiety entertained with respect to the question, that the discussion should be resumed on Friday next. Although there were but few speakers, the princi• pal parties in the House, with the exception of the Conservative Free-traders, as the more immediate followers of Sir ROBERT PEEL may now be termed, were w:1.11 represented. The veteran Reformer, who brought forward the resolution, and the eloquent Member for Oldham, most ably and effectively sus :tained the cause of progressive reform. The witty and sarcastic Member for Buckinghamshire, and the 'Honourable Member for West Surrey, explained the views and feelings of the ultra-Tories and monopolists, which, as might have been expected, were hostile to every amelioration of the franchise or additional concession to the middle ___.. ......,....., classes, while the First Lord of the Treasury deve loped- the Ministerial intentions, admitting the neces iiit 45pnle reforms, but being suite unprepared to .3 is t declare ' w hen those ref o r ms wou ld be intro duced, their nature, or their extent. Some faint Indications, -'indeed, were held out of Bub satuting for the present freemen some other class of voters, by whom the traders and the mechanical industry of the t owns would be represented, a s they formerly were by free men, the retention of whose right of voting the Noble Lord admitted to be a defect in the Reform Bill. The creation o f some oew varieties of suffrage was also spoken of, such •-as giving the right of voting to persons who had . pla, cad money in the savings' banks, or who might be elee,ted by guilds, that being a proof of their possess ingth vs gonfidence of their fellow-works:loci Nothing TEN NUM_ LONDONs _ WEDN'ESDAY EVEN'ING, 117 .N 3 $), - - definitive, however, was declared. Even the meagre and unsatisfactory changes alluded to were rather faintly shadowed forth than dis tinctly and: positively declared. There was the admission of something wrong and defec tive in the state of affairs, but no vigorous or comprehensive view of the remedies that should be applied. Will the community in general be satisfied with such vague and unsubstantial acknowledgments? We rather think not. It is for them to speak out, temperately but firmly, and their wishes must be respected. The mischievous and impolitic course pursued by the physical-force Chartists was made use of by the Noble Premier as an argument against the concession of the reforms demanded by the middle classes gene rally. Ia fact, he argued as if he thought the middle classes and the operatives were conflicting bodies, who had totally opposite views and feelings, and that the latter were hostile to the four points demanded by the former, because amendments were moved, and perhaps in some instances carried, at meetings convened in support of household suffrage, in favour of the universal right of every male adult, unstained by crime, to have a voice in the election of the repre sentatives of the people. It may, perhaps, be worth while to e xamine really are the points of difference between the of the present reform movemen t and the honest and conscientious Chartists, wh o repudi a te the mis chievous doctrines of physical desires by legal and force, and who w o u l d only seek the attainment of the i r constitutional means. These differences are not, per haps, so great as might be i mag ined, and the exhibi tion of a little sound common sense and discre tion on the part of those persons would lead them to aid with all their energies the struggle that is now going forward, and the success of which would give a large instalment of what they themselves require. Mr. HOME demands household suffrage, including therein every person who shall have occupied a house or part of a house for twelve months, and been rated to the relief of the poor for that period, and that every lodger shall have the right to claim to be so rated, and after such rating, and residence for twelve months, to be regis tered as an elector. If this does not go to the full ex tent of universal suffrage, it would at least include the great majority of those now unrepresented, and the suffrage would thus be placed within the reach of every man who thought it worth his while to possess it. In place of their being but one million of voters, there would, as we showed yesterday, be from four and a half to five millions out of the seven millions of adults ; there would be nearly five-sevenths in place of but one -seventh of the people entitled to the franchise. The manner of voting—" the ballot"—is the same as that demanded by the Chartists. The Parliament would be triennial, and this at least would be a great improvement on the present septennial system. The apportionment of Members to population is to be made more equal ; this surely bears a close resemblance to the equal electoral districts: demanded as one of the six points; there is also the abolition of the property qualification, in which the aims of both parties are identical. Surely an alliance might be formed to carry out these objects. But as we have already repeatedly declared, it is the violent men who influence the passions of the multitude who are the most formidable opponents of real reform, and of the speedy attainment of popular rights. We shall await with some anxiety the statement by Sir ROBERT PEEL of his sentiments. A glorious opportunity is now presented to him of assuming his natural and true position—that of leader of the in dustrious classes—of the men who, in accordance with the fiat of the DEITY, "live by the sweat of their brow." THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The project of the Constitution is the subject of com ment in all of them, and it appears to be generally ad mitted that the members of the Committee appointed to draw it up have done their duty honestly, sincerely, and, generally speaking, satisfactorily. The points which are likely to give rise to discussion are the regulations with regard to the election of Presi dent, and the clause which forbids conscripts drawn for the army to hire substitutes. This last clause will, pro bably, be modified by the Assembly. There are six candidates in the field for the President ship of the Republic, viz., M. de Lamartine, M. Thiers, Prince Louis Napoleon, M. Armand Marrast, General Cavaignac, and M. Caussidiere. The Orleans party and the Berryer section of the Legitimists support M. Thiers, the Legitimists generally support Lamartine. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT TIIE LONDON STOCK-EXCHANGE, JUNK 20. Boulogne and Amiens, 6 L4—Sambre and Meuse, 33/4. SPAIN. Madrid papers of the 15th have arrived. A change of Ministry was considered imminent. The KING had threatened again to separate from the QUEEN, and NARVAEZ has threatened him with banishment to the Philippine Islands should he dare to leave the Palace. According to report, the Marquis of BEDSiAR is the new Royal favourite vice SERRANO, and his pretensions are supported by CHRISTINA and NARVAEZ. A bureau of intrigue has been established, at the head of which are MM. GLUCESBURQH and TALLEYRAND, the avowed agents of the Orleans faction, to garble foreign intelli• gence. If we take the report■ of the debate on Mr. BINKES'S motion, as given i❑ the Herald°, as a speci men, M. GUIZOT has reason to be proud of his pupils; even he never carried the system of " enormous lying " to such a monstrous extent.

ITALY LOMBARDY. The Piedmontese Gazette, of the 15th instant, states, that the blockade of the port of Trieste, by the zombined Italian fleet, has been officially announced by the Italian Admirals to the Consuls of the different nations residing in that city. The communication is signed Albini, Sardinian, de Cosa, Neapolitan, Buor, Venetian. The Piedmontese Gazette says, that, on the 14th, the Duke of Genoa occupied the important position of Corona, abandoned by the enemy after a short defence. The King, after having transferred his head-quarters to Valleggio, was preparing to march to Verona on the 15th. The Risorgimente states, that all the villages depending on Luniago wish to effect their imme diate union to the kingdom of Upper Italy. Letters of the 14th, from the head-quarters of the Piedmontese army, state that the expected attack on Verona did not take place, though 50,000 men were brought within three miles of the city, in consequence of its being ascertained that RADETSIEY, after the capi tulation of Vincenza, had returned with 15,000 men, a and it w place li with dispatchas n s o o t considered l argeh aasga pruden t rrreisaocnheidn to a nriarrria ttack irregular g ufl from a fortified aor m manner.

MONEY and COMME lAL NEWS. _• CITY, QUARTER TO T The Cotton Market at Liverpool, yesterdar, was steady, with a fair demand. American qualities at 3% per lb. were rather firmer, but in other sorts there was no change. Sales 5,000 bales, of which 1,000 were American on speculation. The Railway Share Market was quiet, and prices generally were lower. There are various arrivals to-day from east and west. The report of the mercantile markets in India is very satis factory, considering past events, and money was decidedly easy. The affairs of the unfortunate Calcutta Bank were still the general theme of conversation, but it is impossible to say how the depositors will come off. There was a strong disposition to force the shareholders to pay wherever they possessed means, to the fullest extent. We can hardly expect anything favourable from the West Indies, and are consequently not disappointed at the tenor of the accounts before us. In nearly all the islands money was very scarce, and there was a conviction that the expenditure must be greatly reduced. The weather generally was favourable, but there were parts in which rain was greatly needed. The affairs of the West India Bank progressed but slowly, and the bad debts were found to be heavier than was expected. The Hibernia steamer 'is telegraphed as having ar rived off Liverpool, but we shall probably have no letters to-day. The Corn Market is steady to-day for wheat, but spring grain is lower. In the Funds business ii very slack to-day, and prices are not so good. The intelligence of the reported defeat of the Italians h as a n effect in checking business, but the pro ceedings of Parliament are not without their influence.

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY The present week's arrival of English Wheat for our market coastwise, as well as by land carriage and sample, has been but mo derate. The attendance of buyers to-day was tolerably numerous; while the demand for all descriptions was steady, at fully Monday's advance la the quotations. The best pareels of Foreign Wheat—the supply of which was moderate— moved off steadily, at full rates of currency. In the middling and inferior kinds, only a moderate busi ness was doing, at late figures. The imports of Foreign Barley con tinue large. That article was heavy, on somewhat easier terms. M alt —the supply of which was moderate —moved off slowly, but we have no decline to notice in value. AT ea rly 18,000 quarters of Foreign Oats have come to hand. Coastwise, as well as from Ireland, very few cargoes have been reported. The Oat trade was very dull, and prices receded Gd per quarter. Indian Corn, Meal, and Flour, were quite as dear. Datil. 1 Flonr. 900 qrs. 1 1,670 ski. 3,000 1 -- 17,890 I -- IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair shortly after Twelve o'clock. THIRD READINGS. The following Bills were read a third time and passed:— Burntisland Harbour Improvement. Edinburgh and Northern Railway (Roscobie, Keltyhead, and Glencraig Branches, &c.) Fleetwood, Preston, and West Riding Junction Railway (Burnley and Colliery Branches). London and North-Western Railway (Branches and Exten sions from Leamington, &c.) Paisley, Barrhead' and Hurlet Railway. CONSIDERATION OF REPORTS. The following reports were considered and agreed to : Aberavon Market Bill. Truro Turnpike Roads Bill. PARLIAMENTARY REFORM. Mr. H. BERKELEY presented 18 petitions from Bristol in favour of Parliamentary reform. Sir GEORGE STRICKLAND presented several petitions from Preston, praying for an extension of the suffrage, and for a reduction in the national expenditure. ELECTION OF BISHOPS. Mr. GLADSTONE presented a petition from several bodies of clergy residing in the West of England, praying for an alteration of the law with respect to the present mode o electing bishops. NAVIGATION -LAWS. Mr. CARDWELL p resente d several petitions from Liver. pool against any alteration in the navigation-laws. BOROUGH ELECTIONS BILL. Colonel SIBTHORP inquired of the Secretary for the Home Department whether it was likely the Borough Elections Bill would be further considered by the house to-morrow ? Sir G. GREY said he should not like to state positively that the Bill would not be brought under the consideration of the Ilouse to-morrow, but he begged to remind the Hon. and Gallant Member that the adjourned debate on the West Indian question would take precedence of the Bill. VAN DIEMEN'S LAND—DISMISSAL OF A JUDGE. Mr. ANSTEY gave notice that he should renew his motion, which was dropped last night, on the House being counted out relative to the dismissal of a judge in Van Die men's Land. He also gave notice that he should put a tiles tion to the Under-Secretary for the Colonies relative to a dis crepancy between the statement which he made last night and that made on Monday night, concerning the recent dispatches which had been received from the Governor of Van Diemen's Land. SIIPISPENDED WRITS.—CHELTENHAM. Mr. STAFFORD moved that Mr. Speaker do issue his warrant to the Clerk of the Crown, to make out a new writ for the electing of a burgess to serve in this present Parlia ment for the borough of Cheltenkam, in the room of Sir Willoughby Jones, Bart., whose election has been determined to be void. The Hon. Member stated that the total popula tion of the boroughs with respect to which writs had been suspended, amounted to 147,103 persons, and that the total number of registered electors in those boroughs was 10,122 ; and he was of opinion that it was most unconstitutional and unfair that so great a number of persons should be disfran chised as they were at present, in consequence of the illegal acts and proceedings of only a small portion of the electoral body. Mr. ANSTEY seconded the motion. Mr. MOWATT hoped that before going to a division, the Government would give the House some idea of the course they intended to pursue, for at present they were quite in the dark. He held that it was most unconstitutional that this House should take on itself the functions of the three estates, and keep;several constituencies unrepresented in Par liament. Sir GEORGE GREY said that the Honourable Member called upon him to state what the intentions of the Government were with respect to suspended writs. He could not afford the Hon. Member the information he desired, because these were cases in which every Hon. Member should follow that course which his own judgment prompted him to pursue. With re spect to this ease, he found that the Committee bad not re ported that cases of bribery had extensively occurred here, and although he was not prepared to lend his voice to the con tinuance of that system, until the opinion of the majority of this House should decide upon the subject, still he would not op pose the issuing of this writ. The Bill which had reference to these cases would shortly be brought before the House, hut in the meantime, therefore, he saw no reason why a writ should not issue for the election of a Member for the borough of Cheltenham at this time. Mr. GORING gave notice that, in the event of a writ being issued for Cheltenham, he should to-morrow move that a writ issue for the borough of Horsham. Sir J HANDIER said there were many precedents for the non-reissue of the writs for boroughs where these offences were proved to have been committed. These had been cited as occur ring in the reign of William 111. He would referthe House to the reign of Charles 1., when Parliament were op posing all aggressions on their liberties, and then the House decided that the Lord Keeper had not the power of issuing his writ until the sanc tion of the House should have been obtained. He thought that the House should lay down some rule in cases like this, and until that were done, he thought this writ ought to be suspended. Mr. ADDERLEY hoped the Hon. Baronet would not oppose the issuing of thia writ, because the offences, trilling as they were, might be alleged against every borough. Mr. S. CRAWFORD said that although he had formerly opposed the issuing of these writs, yet until he saw some inten tion on the part of the House to Lying in a Bill to amend the matter he should not be a party to the depriving so many con stituencies of a voice in Parliament.

CITY Or LONDON TRADE PROTECTION SOCIETY.— The anniversary dinner of this society took place on Monday at the London Tavern, and was very numerously and respectably attended. The Lord Mayor presided, supported by Alderman Copeland, M.P.; Mr. J. P. Gassiot, Mr. G. M. Dowdeswell, Mr. T. A'Beckett, Mr. S. Ridley, Mr. S. H. Lee, and other gentlemen closely connected with the trade and commerce of London. The society, which has existed for more than 70 years under a different name, has recently given a great and important extension to its operations, and bids fair to supply a lamentable hiatus in the social wants of the metropolis. The want of a public prosecutor, and the undue facilities which have been given under our insol vent and bankruptcy laws to fraudulent debtors, have imparted to the City of London Trade Protection Society a fresh stimulus, and it now assumes the form of an association among the tradesmen of London for the suppression and exposure of swindling, in the thousand forms which the facility of credit has enabled it to assume. No better illustration of the value of such an institution could be required than a fact mentioned by Mr. Brewster last night, in the course of a humorous speech made by him while responding to the toast of " Prosperity to the Society," which the Lord Mayor proposed with great good feeling and sound sense. Mr. Brewster mentioned that the very room in which the company was assembled had very recently been engaged by a set of swindlers for their nefarious purposes, and that it was only by the intervention of the society that the proprietors of the tavern had been pro tected from countenancing a project which would, by the respectablility thus acquired, have made many victims throughout the country. The society contemplates the publication of a circular containing accurate lists of all matters connected with the Bankruptcy and Insolvent Courts, and putting in an available form the fullest in formation upon all subjects calculated to protect the trade and commerce of the metropolis. To all who know the value of such a society, if properly conducted, it will be interesting to know that an opportunity now exists of obtaining by the great principle of association those benefits which are denied the mercantile commu nity by the existing imperfections of the To the pro mote the objects of the institution by held increasi ng last night; number of its supporters, the dinner was n London b o e n e n Tavern, supplied hopedthatl sumptuous t he expo_ style of an d th nav ioeLriment has been so far successful.

The Government of Grisons, fearing an invasion of the ♦alley of Munster by the Austrians, had adopted precautionary measures, and demanded that the dis banding of the troops, ordered by the Diet be ad journed. The Directory had approved the conduct of the Grisons, and directed that those troops should remain 'Limier the command of Colonel Gerwer until further orders: GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES " The determina A U STRIA. n of the ti. pay a visit to his Hungarian capital is placed stirri s, that be yond a doubt by t h e STEPHEN:— following letter to Archduke " My dear nephew, A r h theiresed to me in the name expressions of the deputactidounkaedSdtrePhen,—Convinced by the loyalty and fidelity i n u g h times, I authorize heart, those senti ments my beloved Hungarian all events on es abitants of my land remains unshaken in the present at all that I am you, in my name, to announce to th, of Hungary- and the adjoining territorihe ments have found a true echo in my fully determined, as soon as possible, but the occasion of the opening of the next Diet, to e midst of my loyal Hungarians, accompanied by o l v e in the and by a lengthened stay with them to respond to tA:,anl family NA. of the nation."

Prince Licallowsla has arrived at Berlin. The portfolio of Foreign Affairs has, it is said, bee❑ offered to him. BOHEMIA. The German Universal Gazette, of the 16th instant, announces that the insurrection in Prague had con cluded on the 14th, by the triumph of the Ger mans over the Sclaves. The Congress of Sclaves is dissolved. and its partisans have been sent across the frontiers. Sclave troops fought against their coun trymen. SER V lA. The Breslau Gazette of the 15th instant announces a serious insurrection in Servia. The insurgents had entered the Hungarian territory and had burned some steam-boats. A battalion of the garrison of Peterwaradin had marched against them. It is added that the Greek Archbishop of Carlowitz has urged the Wallachians to revolt against the Hungarians. A MONSTEZ Lo TER.—Near the Britannia-bridge, Chester, a lobster, weighing fourteen pounds two ounces, was caught this week. ROME. The last accounts received from Rome, to the 10th inst., by the Castor steam-boat, are of con siderable importance. She has brought the de claration of principles announced to the Roman Chambers on the first day of their sitting, by which the difficult problem of the separa tion of the spiritual from the temporal power has been solved. The deputy Bonaparte having asked whe ther the declaration read to the Assembly was merely the expression of the Ministry, or whether it was the expression of his Holiness wishing to recognise the sacred and imprescriptible rights of the people, Signor Mamiani, the Minister of the Interior, replied as follows :—" The programme is the introduction of the entire Ministry, of whom all the members have participated in its composition, I consequently pro claim loudly that the declaration is the unanimous expression of the Ministry, ratified and approved entirely by his Holiness." TRIESTE. A letter from Trieste, of June 9, says— " On Tuesday evening, the 6th instant, the Sardinian fleet weighed and stood in for the town, with a very light wind, keeping the English men-of war between them and the batteries, until, at the request of the Trieste people, the British ships, accompanied by the Asmond►e (French frigate), weighed and stood over to a little bay to the right of the town. Shortly after they anchored out of gunshot. Just after sunset, a brig belonging to the Sardinians drifted in and was fired at by the batteries. Two steamers advanced to tow her out, and they came in for a share of the pepper ing also. They likewise, I suppose, in the excitement of excessive valour, contrived to run foul of each other, and in the morning both appeared without bowsprits, and one without figure-head or cutwater. The figure has been picked up, and now figures as a trophy in the centre of the Exchange here. " The promise given by the Sardinian Admiral that Lloyd's steamers should be permitted to run was broken on the first attempt. A packet started from Corfu on Tuesday, and was sent in again, the Admiral refusing to look at the certificates, and threatening to fire on her if she was not off with all speed. " On the evening of the 7th there was some firing between twelve and four. A Sardinian steamer re connoitered near the town; what doing no one knows. " A report existed yesterday that forty-eight hours' notice of bombardment had been given by the Admiral, but I cannot find there is any truth in it." The Neapolitan fleet has not separated from the Sardinian. WEST INDIA MAIL. The Royal West India mail packet Tay, Captain Sharp, from the West Indies, &c., arrived at Southampton, and landed her mails, under the charge of Lieutenant Densten, R.N., Admiralty agent. The Tay brings 80 passengers, among whom are Sir Henry Light (late Governor of Deme rara) and family. Her dates are—Vera Cruz, 16th May; Tampico, 9th ; Havannah, 28th ; Jamaica, 23d ; Bermuda, 6th June. The freight on board consists of 742,686 dollars from Vera Cruz. After a long drought copious showers had fallen, and were likely to continue, at Jamaica. Jamaica papers say that no crops of sugar will be grown this year nor evermore, if Ministers resolve not at the last moment to modify the pre sent scale of duties. Some American slaves have claimed their freedom by touching at Dominica. The schooner Vigilant had arrived at Jamaica from Belize, with dispatches from the superintendent to the i governor, requesting a reinforcement of troops, that settlement expecting an attack by the Indians, who, it ap pears, had fallen upon Bolacar and burned down all the houses. The inhabitants were obliged to take refuge in Be lize, which is in a state of excitement. Families are arriv ing every moment; within the last few days 700 persons had come into that place for protection. Five thousand pounds had been voted at a public meeting, to be placed at the dis posal of the superintendent and council, for taking the neces sary steps in protecting the town. TO' THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD REFORM ASSOCIATION. Sir,—On Monday, June 19, the debate was on the Sugar Duties. Though continued to a late hour before it was adjourned, it did not accomplish the throwing of light on the course by which either good or evil was to be done by voting in either of the ways before the House. Strange fallacies and misapprehensions abounded on all sides. One, on the Government's, was most extraordi nary, and was loudly cheered by the party it is customary to call the political economists. This was, that the quantity of sugar in the whole consumed in Europe, is a given quantity, and therefore it is indifferent to a nation 'a or an individual's conscience, whether slave-grown or free labour sugar is consumed; because to consume the one, is only making room for consuming the other in some other place. Always suspect these given quantities; we have heard of them before. Try this argument by ap plication to common things. Say then, the quantity of goods stolen and unstolen, is together a given quantity; therefore it is indifferent to you and everybody whether you buy the stolen or the other. If you pretend for con science sake to prefer the latter, you are only making room for the stolen goods being bought by somebody else. Therefore buy them yourself. This is the argument. Everybody in the last case sees where the fallacy lies. Even if it is true that the quantity of goods on the whole is at two successive times a given quantity, it is not true that the quantity of stolen goods and of un stolen is each a given quantity; and this, and not the other, is what is necessary for the truth of the Minis terial assertion. On the contrary, both stolen and un stolen goods have their respective markets and oppor tunities. Some people like the one and some the other; and if you refuse to take the stolen goods, it no more follows that the holder shall therefore rind an equal market for them somewhere else, than it follows that a tradesman should be comforted by your withdrawing your custom, at the same time assuring him that you only make room for him to sell to some one else. Such fallacies pass in Parliament and elsewhere, when they suit men's purposes. On Tuesday came on Mr. Hume's motion on the suffrage. It was preceded by a storm of petitions, in dicative of non-assent to the Ministerial assertion that the people did not care. One of the mover's first inti mations was, that he had by mistake omitted the word " all," and that his object was to give the suffrage to " all" householders. It is pity but this could have been found out before; or that it could have been known it was to be found out then. The replies of the two fol lowing speakers (Mr. Drummond and Lord J. Russell) wore rich studies tor all the petitioners upon the subject; and as such I recommend them. The stock objection to Mr. Hume's motion appeared to be, that it did not go to Universal Suffrage. The Minister further stated, tha t he greatly preferred annual Parliaments to triennial. It is to be hoped these two points will be remembered an other time. A Communist petition, presented by Lord Ashley, was ably appealed to ; and it was inferred that to listen to the proposed reform would be to esta blish the Noble Lord's petitioners in the seat of govern ment. The Chartists were skilfully played off, and de clared to he the majority among the Reformers. It is very hard that the Ministers' ally in the City meeting, should be obliged to give bail. The inequalities in the electoral divisions were defended as pleasing varieties; of the nature of what a man discovers when one debtor pays him ten shillings in the pound, and another three aed-sixpence. And the commotions on the continent were pointed to, as reasons why nothing should be done to take down popular dissatisfaAion here. The Member for Oldham (Mr. Fox) made a powerful reply for the working classes. It must be the fault of the working classes, if with the men of acknow ledged ability they have among them, they do not make a harvest out of this night's debate. The Member for Bu ckinghamshire made such a speech as is to be desired fromrea a n opponent s a mus i ng enoug h t o ensure b e i ng _anti carrying ever y w h ere t h e conv i ct i on o f t h e soundness of the other side.

The Chartists and the working classes are clearly to,:be the cat's pave if they will. The debate was adjourned at half-past one o'clock. On the whole no damage was done; and the word in the country should be to go on for the next appearance of the debate. It was nominally adjourned to Friday; but there are great odds against its resumption on that day, so there is no need to stop for want of time. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, T.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) THE LATE WESTMINSTER ELECTION. (Before Lord DENMAN and a Common Jury.) COCHRANE •. YOUNIII. This was an action against Mr. Murdo Young, the pro- prietor of The Sun newspaper, by Mr. Charles Cochrane, the unsuccessful candidate for the representation of the city of 'Westminster at the general election, to recover compensation in damages for the injury which he had sustained by the publication in The Sun of four letters in February, 1847, stating that he was the author of an immoral book, which he had written under the assumed name of Don Juan de Vega, that he had violated the hospitality and the confidence of the families into which he was admitted, and collected money for the Spanish refugees, of which no account had been given, and that, therefore, he was a 'most unfit person to represent the city of Westminster in Parliament. The damages were laid at 5,000/. Sir F. THESIGER was for the plaintiff, and stated the case to the jury. He objected to the production of the book, on the ground that it was not pleaded in justification of the letters. ➢lr. COCKBUILN addressed the jury for the defendant, in an elaborate speech, in which he contended that the defen dant was perfectly justified, as a public journalist, and as an elector for Westminster, in publishing the letters ; and that looking at the character of the plaintiff, at the objection to produce the book, and the high and influential character of The Sun, which was conducted upon honest and temperate principles, the very smallest amount of damages would be amply sufficient. Lord DENMAN expressed his opinion that it would have been better for the parties if the book had been produced, and left the matter to the jury, who retired, and after an ab sence of upwards of an hour, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 40s. EAST INDIA.
