A FULL REPORT OF LORD JOHN RUS SELL'S SPEECH WILL BE GIVEN IN A SECOND EDITION THIS EVENING. Th. publication of THE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 15 minutes past 3 o'clock. ht LONDON. MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 30, 1835. The dinner given on Saturday by the Opposition in honour of their Leader, went off with great spirit. On this interesting occasion were assembled two hundred and sixty Members of the House of Commons—a , phalanx of Reformers, which, without reckoning the numbers absent from unavoidable causes, may well strike terror into the hearts of those who are fated this night to be exposed to the shock of its attack. Lord MORPETH presided, and discharged the duties of the office assigned him admirably. In proposing the health of their distinguished guest, the Noble Lord very justly remarked, that although Lord JOHN R us- SELL possessed a hereditary claim to the affection and respect of all Englishmen, and indeed of all men who are capable of appreciating the unhesitating sacrifice of every thing dear in this world to the cause of liberty ; yet he had claims of his own sufficient to command general respect and gratitude. The whole course of his political life had been marked by devo tion to liberal principles—he had carried the repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts in opposition to all the power of the men now in office—the great benefactors of the Dissenters l—and he had had the deserved honour conferred upon him of introducing into the House of Commons that great measure on which the rights and liberties of the people are now securely founded. Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S reply was charac terised by a strain of manly and patriotic senti ment, and by the avowal of his determination to persevere in that course of thorough reform, without which there can be no security for the maintenance of our national Institutions, and expressed a hope that if he had been instrumental in forwarding Reform, or in redressing grievances, another ,opportunity would be afforded him and them of redressing that master grievance under which the people of Ireland had so long groaned. This happy allusion to the subject of this night's debate was received with loud and long continued cheers. The only other speech which we have time to no tice is that of Mr. O'Connell, which was, as might have been expected, an eloquent effusion. In giving as a toast, " The Reformers of Scotland," the Hon. and Learned Member alluded with great feeling to the miserable state of Ireland, and appealed to the Scot tish Members for their assistance in securing for Ireland those advantages which the Irish Members had zealously assisted in procuring for Scotland. Mr. Fox M. returned thanks in name of the Reformers of Scotland, in a speech which does great credit both to his talents and his principles. The Hon. Gentleman acknowledged in the fullest manner the obligation which Scotland owed to Ireland, and trusted that the Scottish Members would now do their best to repay it. The Meeting, of whose proceedings we have now given a brief outline, has been long anticipated as an indication of the fate of the Ministry. We hope it has proved satisfactory to them and their adherents. To us it is perfectly so, for it appears to have sealed their doom. The question to be brought forward to-night is the farthest removed from anything which can be called factious, that can be imagined. It is strictly one of principle ; and as to its importance, that cannot easily be over rated, when we consider that it involves the future tranquillity of Ireland, and, of course, the future safety of the empire. That any man, having the least pretensions to the character of a Reformer, should acquiesce in the monstrous proposition, that none of the surplus revenues of the Irish Church shall be devoted, in any way, to the benefit of the Catholic population, is what we cannot believe until the division has convinced us of it. But we doubt much whether, after all, it will come to a division--we doubt whether Sir R. PEEL will oppose Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S motion. It will be the better course to give way to the almost universal feeling of the country. Let the PREMIER give up his present perilous position while he can do it with something of a good grace. It is evident that his own party—at best a forlorn hope--have deserted him. They now find that it would be better for their views were their enemies in power, whose measures they could resist suc cessfully, whereas they are now 'compelled to sanction things which they regard with abhorrence, and which they expected they would have had suffi cient power either to have prevented, or to have com pletely neutralised. May we not now ask, " What have they gained ?" The periodical election of Aldermen in the City of London, is a question of such great importance, that we feel ourselves called upon to congratulate the whole body of the freemen on the truly liberal way in which the Court of Common Council disposed of it, in its sitting on Saturday. As the debate was not closed when we went to press, the close of it will be found in T/u Sun of this day, and no doubt will be read with lively interest. The abuses arising from the impunity of a life-election on the one hand, and the subserviency of a continual canvass on the other, have been carefulh avoided by the Court in its wise and equitable decision. We are persuaded that most of the abuses which crept in to the city of London, would never have had an ex istence were it not for th• system of appointing the Aldermen for life, and then opening to them a doo) for every evil, by permitting them to exercise legis lative and judicial functions. We were sorry to ob serve the distorted view which Sir PETER LAURIE, himself an excellent and upright magistrate, took of this plain question. He insisted that the Aldermen were Judges, and that the fact of a Judge being subject to re-election, was contrary to the spirit of the British Constitution. Now this is not quite correct. The Aldermen are only known to the law as Justices of the Peace, the statute declaring the two offices co-existent. We shall return to this subject the first favourable opportunity. The vote of the Court of Common Council of the City of London, offers a salutary lesson to the Trou'g.e of Peers. In The Sun of Monday last, we directed the attention of our readers to one of the greatest improvements of modern times—Rail-roads. We then stated that we were not aware that any Legislative provision had been made for the erection of a standard by which every rail-road should be constructed as to specific and well defined width. We have, however, since learned, that although no Legislative enact ment exists on the subject, yet, for some years past, the Earl of SHAFTESBURY, the Chairman of the Committees in the House of Lords, has taken care that a clause is in serted, requiring that the width between the rails should not be less than four feet eight inches in the clear of the rails, and not more than five feet one inch from the outer side of one rail to the outer side of the other. The rails being usually two inches and a quarter wide at top, no greater variation than half an inch can now possibly occur in any two rail-roads ; and such variation, should it exist, is of no consequence in practice. From this it appears, that an uniform standard width is obtained ; but as it depends on the mere discretion of a single individual, we still think that a Legislative provision should be made on the subject. We have received the whole of the Paris Papers of Friday and Saturday. On Friday evening the prisoners from Lyons arrived at the capital in eight diligences, escorted by strong detachments of Lancers, Chasseurs, and Municipal Guards, both horse and foot. " They were lodged," says the National, " in the Conciergerie till the prisons of Luxemburg shall be ready for their reception. At the moment of their alighting the passage over the Quai de 1' Horloge was interrupted." The Messager adds, " Extraordinary measures were taken by the police against the arrival of the prisoners from Lyons. Orders were sent to all the Chief Officers of the Police and Commanders of the armed forces. The troops of the garrison were assembled in their barracks, and several companies are to remain there constantly., with their knapsacks on their backs, and cartridge boxes ready to march. Part of these measures - will be continued to the end of the trial." It is not asy to discover the grounds of this extraor dinary precaution in the case of men who are eager to be brought- to trial, unless we admit that the KING dreaded an. insurrection in the capital ; and if such ap prehensionla were entertained by his MAJESTY, does he imagine: that he is now secure ? The bar 'of Paris has come to a determination not to force its ;services on any prisoner who protests against its interfere r ice during the ensuing trials. The non compliance 'of this body with a command to the con trary, issued by the Court of Peers, will cast additional odium an Ihe public prosecutors. The bar, after taking the o bjections made by the prisoners into con sideration, 11 as resolved that a compliance with the order of the Court of Peers would be an act of mean ness which w ould imprint an indelible stain on the re putation of that learned body. This declaration on the part of the bar will place the Court of Peers in an unpleaa.,ant position. Neutrality is defection in a case of this kind ; and so without the countenance of KING, or Go , vernment, or Bar, the Peers are com pelled, as it wt re, to destroy themselves for ever as a constitutional b (:.(1y in France. One thousan d francs have been granted by the Go vernment for the relief of the sufferers from cholera at Marseilles. Ti to number of deaths is decreasing, and it is hoped that this scourge will shortly disappear al together. The report on the indemnification of the American claim ►t ; has not yet been presented to the the Chamber of Deputies. FR! ',INCH FUNDS.-PARIR, MARCH 27. Five per U 107 f. 55c. 60c. 55c.

His Majesty's schooner Pike, by whom our arrivals were conveyed, reached Falmouth on Friday evening—two days later than she would have done, had she not been delayed to learn the termination of the debate in the Palace of the Cortes on the amendment proposed on the Address in answer to the QUEEN'S Speech from the Throne. T e Address was moved and the Amendment thereon ' proposed, in the sitting of the 13th, but no division took place till the 17th. The Amendment stated that the Cortes had no confidence in the present Ministry, and recommended the Chamber to address her MA JESTY, praying its immediate dismissal. The Minis ters defended themselves with much warmth against :he several charges that were brought against them by ;he leaders of the opposition. After a debate, more unmated than any which took place in the Chambers ;ince the accession of her MAJESTY, a division took place, the members voting by ballot, when the num bers were : gt For the Amendment, 25 Majority in favour of Address —so For the ori, in al Address, The Ministry may, therefore, consider itself secure for the present, notwithstanding the extreme violence of the Opposition. On the 10th, a motion made in the Chamber for an address to her MAJESTY, praying the dismissal of all MIGUELITES from the public service, which was carried by a small majority. The Opposition have accused the Duke of PAL NIELLA of having permitted Great Britain to violate the commercial treaty of 1810 ; and of granting to British merchants privileges injurious to the interests of Portuguese subjects. They insist that by equalizing the duty on French and Portuguese wines, the Govern ment of this country violated the treaty of Methuen, which guaranteed certain advantages to the wine growers of Portugal. Ministers took no notice in the Chambers of this attack upon them, but con sented to the appointment of a Committee to examine all the treaties, commercial and otherwise, entered into with Foreign States. The Duke of PAL NIELL A has likewise proposed a number of queries on the subject of Portuguese trade and commerce, to a Board consisting of nine of the principal merchants in Lisbon. These queries are to be discussed separately, and the answers thereupon to be reported to the Go ♦ernment. If any Member of the Board differs in opinion from his colleagues, he is to draw up his own report, and present it in his own name to the Foreign Secretary. The QUEEN and Prince AUGUSTUS are in excel lent health, and frequently appear in public. Great improvements are being made in every part of Lisbon and the adjacent country. The Government is prin cipally engaged in advancing the progress of public works, and the improvement of the roads throughout Portugal. General MINA has addressed two dispatches to the Spanish Ambassador at London ; the first bearing date the 13th, and the second the 17th instant, giving an account of his recent operations against the Car lists. The contents of these documents are not im portant, as they have already appeared in detail in most of the public journals. In the engagement of the 11th, before Elisondo, MINA was slightly wounded by a musket shot in the shoulder, but the injury he received has not prevented him from keeping the field at the head of his troops. He defends the harsh measures which he has latterly adopted, particularly his recent Proclamation addressed to the inhabitants of Navarre. On these documents we will offer no observation. We know enough of MINA'S despatches, to receive the assertions contained in them with caution ; and we just place as much reliance upon his statements as we have respect for the mercifulness of his disposition. Advices from Constantinople to the 4th inst. have been received. The Paella of EGYPT has at last given a proof of his desire to propitiate the favour of the SULTAN, by transmitting the whole of the tribute in arrear to the Porte. The sum thus forwarded amounts to 140,000/. sterling, and will be of the greatest service to the Sultan in the prosecution of his present plan for the equipment of the Turkish fleet. Va rious causes are assigned for this sudden submission on the part of the PACHA, of which the most probable is, that he became alarmed at seeing the preparations for war now going forward at Constantinople. The con dition of trade in the East is very favourable , owing to the recent termination of the Civil War in Persia. We regret to learn that Dr. Maton died this morn ing, after an illness of three weeks. We are sorry to say that the greatest a pprehensions are entertained for the safety of the Bristol Packet, Captain Pill, which left Bideford for Bristol on Friday se'nnight, laden with grain. It is feared she has sunk in the Channel, and the crew, with three pavengers, perished, no intelligenco having lately been received of her.

These arc classed as, first, nobles; secondly, men of unknown descent; and, thirdly, peasants. _ _ _ Large quantities of Mackerel have been caught and brought into this port during the past week, and have been retailed at a shilling per dozen.

BARBAROUS CRUELTY..—Last week, some mis screants cut off the ears of a pig and then with a sharp instru ment, cut the shoulder from the body.

DEATH CAUSED BY TWO STEAM-VESSELS COMING IN' CONTACT.—On Wednesday night, about 10 o'clock, the Queen of the Isle steamer, out wardbound for the Isle of Man, came in contact with the Irish man steamer, inwardbound from Drogheda. The accident took place about two miles from the Rock-porch Lighthouse, at the entrance of the Viers ey. Both vessels had lights up at the time, and the people on board of both state that they took the usual precautions to prevent them from coming in contact. The precautions f:ailed however. A dreadful con cussion ensued. The Qtteen of the Isle struck the Irish• man just before the paddle-box, carried away the houses on the deck, the paddle beam and engine, and caused a deal of damage on board the vessel. The cook-house, which is im mediately before the paddle-box, was smashed to pieces, and the cook, James Bourne, a boy about 15 or 16 years of age, killed on the spot, and the leg and the thigh of a passenger were broken. The Irishman, though seriously damaged in her upper works, did not make any water. The Queen of the Isle took her in tow, and brought her into port in safety. On Friday 'an inquest was held on the body of the deceased, James Bourne, before Mr. Bailiff Pownall, one of the Coroners for this borough. Captain Heaney, of the Irishman, and several of his crew, were examined touching the deceased's death, and the unfortunate cause which produced it.—The Jury, after consultinr , about ten minutes, retu rne d a ver di ct o f " Ac cidental Death," ' and laying a deodand of 101. on the Queen of the Isle. THE FEMALE SAILOR.--The " female sailor," who lately excited so much • interest in the metropolis, is now in Liverpool, on her return to the residence of her friends in Ireland. She arrived by one of the London coaches on Wednesday, and sails to-day by one of the Irish packets. In the meantime, she has been stopping in Temple-court , at the house of Mr. Evans, irormerly of the Rock Ferry Hotel. —Liverpool Chronicle. DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK. New 5 per Cent.

Sir, your most obedient sPrvant, March 24, 1835. AN OLD SUBSCRIBER. Newport, Monmouthshire. DUBLIN. " Points obscure are of small use to learn ; But common quiet is mankind's concern." Express editions of The Sun Newspaper have been of late looked for and received in this country with that intense anxiety and gratification which must always attach to matters of national interest. Since the accession of his present most Gracious Majesty, however, no event has excited so much ex pectation in Ireland, as the result of Lord J. Russel's motion on Monday next, in which seems to be involved the future re pose or further distraction of this long agitated country. All parties here agree, that on this question depends the common quiet of the community, though each expects and promises that consummation,;from means diametrically opposed, and inconsis tent with each other. The ascendancy faction contend, that the defeat of the opposition is essential to our peace and tran quillity; while the Liberals and Whigs are beginning to think that if the Ministers should have a majority on this question, we must be prepared to submit to the entire catalogue of misery and oppression inflicted on us for so ninny centuries past. In this state of feeling, therefore, you may judge how deeply concerned we arc in all the efforts you can make during the ensuing week, to uphold the character of your Journal, for the diffusion of early and useful knowledge. From the co lumns of The Sun, we expect to learn, not only of a contem plated change of Ministry, but of an important change in the Constitution, as regards the Church Establishment in this country. " The Constitution of England," says Paley, " like that of most countries in Europe, bath groWn out of occasion and emergenc: , , ; from the fluctuating policy of different ages ; from the contentions, successes, interests, and opportunities of different orders and parties of men in the Community." Sir Robert Peel himself admits , impliedly, that if he be left in the minority on this occasion, the settlement of the tithe question in this country must be made on the principle here laid down, which is that con tended for by Lord John, and every other advocate of the appropriation measure. And even if he should have a majority, it cannot long sustain him in attempts to legislate differently from the interests of these "orders and parties of men" who call for the total abolition of tithes, contormally to the emer gency of the times. The Dissenters in Ireland are admitted on all sides to be at least six times the number of the members of the Established Church; and thus another proposition of Paley forces itself on that common sense of justice which every Statesmen should listen to in preference to the sugges tions of faction and monopoly. " If," says that eminent divine and philosopher, " the dissenters from the Establishment be come a majority of the people, the Establishment itself ought to be altered or qualified." And yet is it possible, that in the teeth of such authority, Statesmen would uphold the mono poly of the temporalities of the Irish Church ? Surely no ties of party feeling or esprit de Corps, can justify any rational mall in opposing the tide of common sense, public opinion, and the rights of the subjects of these realms as laid down by our best Jurists, the more so when such opposition must entail dis affection, distraction, and possibly disunion among his Ma jesty's subjects. March 28, 1835. THE TRUE SUN. ( From the Times.) The late editors of the True Sun present their compli ments to the editor of the Times.

The editors who have been associated with them in conducting their journals will be succeeded by others after to-day ; and those who have hitherto been responsible for the opinions and sentiments of the True Sun will be responsible for these no longer We shall be excused for saying that we do not take leave of our readers without emotion; but the feeling is mitigated by this reflection—that we have never shrunk from danger or difficulty—that we have never compromised an opinion—and that we do not regret either the course we have adopted or the sufferings we have endured." ELECTION COMMITTEES. DUBLIN ELECTION. This Committee met to-day at eleven o'clock in the Court of Chances y, but in consequence of the indisposition of Lord Albert C mynghame, certified by his medical adviser, were obliged to ad journ until they obtain the leave of the House to proceed in his Lordship's absence. A motion to that effect will be made by the Chairman this evening, when his Lordship's physician will be again examined at the bar of the House. An How. MENIBER suggested the propriety of adjourning till 12 o'clock to-morrow, as the debate on Lord John Russell's motion to night would, in all probability, be protracted to a very late hour. Mr. O'CONNELL was of opinion that there would be an adjourn ment of the debate, and therefore thought the usual hour (11 o'clock) of the Committee meeting would be more convenient for all parties. The Committee accordingly adjourned till 11 o'clock to-morrow. The Windsor and Ipswich Election Committees are proceeding with the scrutiny of the votes. THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY.) CITY. TWELVE O'CLOCK. The public attention in the City this morning still relates to the important debate which is expected will take place this evening in the House of Commons on the motion of Lord John Russell ; and the greatest anxiety is experienced by . all parties in regard to its result. This grand national contest is the general topic of con versation; and the opinion is, that Ministers will be defeated by a majority of from 30 to 40. This moment we have a report at Lloyd's that Lord Grey has been sent for by his Majesty, but as yet we cannot vouch for the correctness of this desirable' event, and which is anxiously expected. The British, as well as the Foreign Markets, closed heavily on Saturday. Consols at 914 for Money ; and for the Account 91i to 92. Three-and-a-half Reduced, 993—opened at this morning 91 1 g ; for Money, 91a 4 ; Eichequer Bills, 37 39 ; India Bonds, 21 22 ; Bank Stock, 210. The foreign market, which was in the early part of the day on Saturday heavy, experienced a re-action towards the close of the market, owing to information being received that Lord Elliot was on the eve of his departure for the north of Spain, to Don Carlos's head-quarters, to endeavour to put an end to the civ;l w ar f are now existing ; and H e are further informed that he piweeds with full powers both from the English and French Governments, to demand immediately an armistice, to take place between the two contend ing parties. Foreign Securities, which closed on Saturday at lower prices, opened this morning at—Spanish Bonds, 64i 4; Spanish Scrip, 3 / 4 ; Portuguese, 94% %. Busy making up against to-mor row, settling day. The Express from Paris brings the French prices lower. 5 per Cents., 107 45 ; 3 per Cents., 80 35 ; Cortes Bonds, 48 ; Cou pons, 274 ; Differes, 19a. . - The Report of the Committee of the American Indemnity Bill had not as yet been presented, but had- been ready for some days past. It is a document of great length. It appears that the French Government have received the President's Message of the 25th of February, and it is supposed that an alteration will take place in the document. The Dutch Mail brings the Funds —2i per Cents., 55a ; 5 per Cents., 1011. The American Packet is off Liverpool ; papers and letters not as yet received. HALF--PAST ONE. We are informed that intelligence is in town, by express from Paris, that the Committee, which have been sitting for some days on the treaty of indemnity , to the United States, have unanimously come to the resolution to pay the American claims, with the ex ception of the interest on said debt, and which there is no doubt that the American Government will accede to ; thus the American war with France will be prevented. Up to the present hour we have no farther intelligence respect ing Ministers, with the exception of reports which we do not deem worthy of mentioning. The letters and papers by the South American Packet from New York, are not received as yet. We hear they are not later than the last arrivals of the 2d inst. in the early part of the morning Consols had a heavy appearance, since which they assumed a brighter aspect, and may be quoted at present, 9l 92, for the Account. In the Foreign Market Spanish Scrip has reached 8 to 1. THREE O'CLOCK. _ _ _ Consols for the Account, 91i 92. Miss Birkett, of this town, fell a victim, after lin gering suffering, to the English disease, a confirmed phthisis. The deceased young lady possessed a strong and clear under standing, which enabled her, though almost self-taught, to master any subject to which her reading was directed. She was the authoress of the original sketch of the Iron Shroud, which appeared in Blackwood some years ago, and of several other popular papers in other periodicals. Sh e h a d prepared s ome time ago, for publication, a work, w hi c h may, perhaps, be published. —Liverpool - Chronicle. An elopement took place recently in the neighbour hood of Bristol. The young lady, a ward in Chancery, is understood to hive been taken off from a boarding school— the gentleman is a druggist. By a parliamentary paper just published, it appears that notwithstanding the immense reductions of taxation made by the Whig Ministry during the three years they were in office, the surplus public income for the year ended the sth of January, 1835, applicable to the reduction of the national debt, was no less than 1,608,155 12s. 4d. OUR FIRE-EATING PREMIER.—We would have Mr. Pease look to it, and be very cautious of his words—nay, of his very looks ; for we are no prophets. if he he not doomed to be the object of Sir Robert's bellicose propensities.— Examiner. • LONDON AND GRAVES ND ,RAIL_ ROAD TO THE EDITOR OF THE, SUN. SIR—A paragraph has appeared (from a errespondent) i n the Albion, which has been going the round 1f the newspa pers, condemn itory of the intended plan foi ontinuiog the Greenwich Viaduct, which it is assumed will , jii a ques tionable shape, " directly across one of - its mos beiautiful and much frequented lawns, and within fifty or sixtyyards of the new church—the Observatory, and the Royal Nail Asylum." I apprehend the sagacious " Reporter" of these ionginary in novations, who is under so much alarm that the loyal Park will he placed " in jeopardy," and its " precincts b violated" and disgraced by an unseemly structure, cannot ha% seen the lithographed design of that part of the r a ilr oa d w h h would pass through the Royal domain--a design of the mi t perfect architectural beauty, entirely in char ac t er w ith t .

It will neither interfere with, nor interrupt te quiet retirement or recreation of the " weather beaten vetehns," nr the visitors who resort to the Royal Park. In my 'tumble judgment the railroad, as proposed to be carried throu r h the Park, would be calculated to create greater attractioi, and give additional splendour to the surrounding scenery, elides that of affording a promenade—unequalled for extent —.y any in the kingdom.—l am, Sir, your obedient Servant, Greenwich, March 27. FAIR PLAY. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY). CORN EXCHANGE. _ Last week the suppli( s of all kinds of Grain were tolerably gtod, and there was also a fair return of Flour. The trade throughout the week was dull, at the previous Monday's prices. This morning , }to fresh supplies were moderate. Most of the Wheat samples were bri der ; such as were dry sold readily at last week's terms ; sales of otter sorts were extremely difficult to effect. The Foreign Barley lately imported being fit for malting, has mostly paid the duty; the trade for this article continues steady, at our late quotations. Beam and Peas meet a slack sale, and are unaltered in value. The de mand for Oats continues good, and rather more money has b en obtained than this day se'nnight. ratcEs ON BOARD OF SHIP. vVheat, Red old —s.

ATROCIOUS MURDER.—Chi Saturday evening last, as a man named Edmond Keoghery was returning to his home in the parish of Dysart, front the fair of this town, he was attacked by a party of ruffians, and murdered in a most revolting and inhuman manner. They knocked out his brains, and dislocated the vertebrx of the neck, which left him the saddest spectacle we have ever witnessed ; and this, too, in the populous village of Brideswell, long before the inhabitants had retired to rest. We under,tand that four of the party have been arrested, and that active inquiry is being made by the pol ce after the others. who, it seem, have absconded.—Athlone Independent. The Stock Exchange, on Saturday morning, was the scene of a regular pugilistic contest between two members of the establishment. It originated in some misunderstanding relative to a transaction in Redruth shares, when one party, considering himself aggrieved, pronounced the other a cheat, whereupon he received a blow in the eye which laid him pros trate. A regular scuffle then ensued, and blows were given and received until the standers-by, who at first thought it was merely a " lark," interposed. 'I he Committee of the Stock Exchange very properly took the matter up, and held a meet ing on the subject, but their report did not transpire. Sir John Campbell, M.P. for Edinburgh, was pre vented from attending the dinner given to Lord John Russell on Saturday, by his absence on a special retainer at the As sizes for the County of Cornwall.

ANARCHY AND DESPOTISM.—The nature of anarchy has never been sufficiently understood. It is un doubtedly a horrible calamity, but it is less horrible than de spotism. Where anarchy has slain its hundreds, despotism has sacrificed millions upon millions, with this only effect—to perpetuate the ignorance, the vices, and the miseries of man kind. Anarchy is a short-lived mischief, wl.ile despotism is all but immortal. It is to despotism that anarchy is indebted for its sting. —Godwin. RUS:;IAN STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY. — St. Petersburgh, March 13.—Last Monday there was a gene ral meeting of the members of the Steam Navigation Company between St. Petersburgh and Lubeck. The account was ex tremely favourable. The number of passengers during the season was 2,100, being 400 more than in 1833. The net pro fits for the year were 283,860 rubles. Of this sum 80 rubles per share, or ten per cent., are to be distributed to the pr3prie tors. The remainder, 123,860 rubles, to be added to the re serve fund, which now amounts to 365,591 rubles.-:--St. Peters burgh Journal, March 14. FIRE.—A fire broke out on Saturday night at the mansion of Lord Dinorben, 75, South Audley-street, in which the whole of the costly furniture in the Drawing-room was consumed. The flames mounting to the ceiling, notwithstand ing its loftiness, and its having a three inch coat of plaster, soon penetrated through and seized fast hold of the flooring and joists above, and spread far and wide. Although there were, besides six engines of the fire establishment with a full complement of the men, four large engines of the County and West of England, it was long before any impression could be made on the fire, so greatly was it fed by the strong draught of air which rushed up the wide staircases and along the passages. The damage done is very great , an d must a t l ea st, independ_ ently of th repair of the building, amount to many thousands of pounds. - TO THE EDITOR -OF. THE SU.N. Sta. — Notwithstanding the House of Corninons has twice spoken out—notwithstanding the plain language of the pre',?' and the no less unequivocal sentiments manifested at P uh ' ic t meetings— , he !Ministers still cling to offie.p. and assure us it is not a trifle which shall induce them to relinquish it. Tae) ask—and prima facie with some plausibility—why should retire, if they bring forward salutary and -popular measures With the Dissenters' Relief Bill in our hands, backed by other temporal and ecclesiastical_ reforms, what motives but those springing from faction can be adduced to defend the OpPo r tion against us ? You demand reform, and we respond to %yyise° our, call. What more ou'd you have ? What benefit is prom to the country by our dismissal? What have we done,Y 6,etei to merit disapprobation? and why, at all events, are r acme a fair trial ? • •• •s, These are questions Which I hear daily put, and not alwaY I confess, judiciously answered. y When pressed by shrewd opponent, men are too apt to forget the point in q, tion, and parry the awkward thrust by indulging in individnac; vituperation. The loss of temper is generally accompafflet by a correspondent loss of reason, and hence the subi e f e which was at. first fairly proposed for argument, becomes'''. vehicle for vulgar. invective and intemperate express ion Careful, myself to avoid an error which I condemn in others, I will preface the few observations I intend maki"r:, b the following reasons, any one of which, I contend, is sufficie nt to refuse Ministers the-trial they so pertinaciously seek. 1. Because the Ministers were educated in that school, the oppressive and resisting discipline of which urged our Amt." rican Colonies to rebellion. 2. Because they aro disciples of those who calumniated the French Revolution, when, at its dawn, the cause was spoilt's!' 3 Because they resisted the just claims of our Catholic, brethren, and thereby caused bloodshed, insurrection an disaffection. ••• • fo 4. Because they they have ever courted the friend shill Despotic Powers. 5. Because the consequences of the olicy adopted by di: t o': 41 selves and partisans for he last fifty years have been a p ro- ra m . tion tion of the national strength—an accumulation of de bts-- crease of taxation—famine and civil war in Ireland. 6. Because they voted against Earl Grey's Reform Bl', ic b 7. Because their speeches and writings are extant , i n wi t they, more or less violently, denounces: that bill as ciesoucee' unnecessary, and revolutionary. 8. Because they broke the first Reformed Parlianseet. ~s These are eight notorious facts which how disagree. a t 7 soever it may be just now to revive them, admit of no doutiost no dispute. They are a portion of history, and as such can be glossed over for party purposes. sa d But I am reminded that all this belongs to the 7) 4 ' 8 7 ti . s . that no one, at the present day, attempts to defend or .' n i t s duce _political maxims which flowed from peculiar eircile, stances. A revolution of opinion, lam told, has taken pla c .: differ e we are beginning de novo, and however persons may M m e to the exact measure—all are agreed on the necessity 0f : to reform It is remarkable that this did not shine r‘ e- „.. the Patriarch's memorable Bill—it is strange that wha t l a d, peered so clear and natural after that measure became . 0 0 should have offered so directly contrary an aspect at th e of discussion. But I will not stop to exam ine tkese Ow" mena, nor will I now inquire " What drug, what charms, What conjuration, and what mighty magic" i t it conspired to effect this much-to-be-desired ebange• t he sufficient to assume, for argument's sake, the reedit)? of the metamorphosis. Setting aside, therefore, all causes, and tTot ing only with effects, I will suppose that Ministers se e s o el• the necessity of yielding, and are determined to act sc ingly How does the matter rest upon this fairest of eti v ' e ot sumptions ? They give way, it is true—but at the el e be st, hour ; and Falstaff fashion, "by compulsion :" or, at i t see they are only repentant sinners who acknowledge their a l. is and promise to behave well for the future. Is it u se the se common life, to entrust places of great confidence t°, l t it who have atoned for a life of evil by a moment of regret ',Ake customary to give them precedence to the neglect and pre.lt";eo of others whose whole conduct has been one continued anti re ic e to their's ? I think that in all cases of this kind, even when.essi unhesitatingly believe the sincerity of the conversion , " e Toe ourselves, on many accounts, from over-caressing the ne11.001: It is not an easy matter to recover that most precious ,Ji j etl reputation, when it has once been lost. The laws o f ' hat iie are, in this respect, positive, and sterner even than be d bo might expect from the general tone of its morals ; Ye t .", ere infringes them must undergo a long term of purifien : t lo t oce'i be can attempt to resume his former station, and, in ° be ori' not a few, time never, perhaps * entirely washes awe , ' t a ieti ginal mark. These are the links which bind togethe r„ lt collectively, and, therefore, affect all the parts into to i . ss th e divided—not the least important of which is that for tni ls government of a people. Let us apply this code of r t g r eri our subject. The present Ministers, adverse to the lette s - ers e ' spirit of Reform. succeed those who are exactly the c a n ii sse' Lord Melbourne is unceremoniously dismissed—untr ie cused. His adversaries come into office, and so fal l* , But what line of policy do they profess to adopt ? very same which, in opposition, they loudly een",,,`,. They state that upon no other principles can they t° - f . roe ° they take and claim credit for following in the tra ck %jot' whom they yesterd y loaded with every epitiiet that dis 3 r i d ' ed ment and indignation can supply. The change if i n o 4 ' —this is the enigma. That Tories should adopt til`idtlol, measures would be honest and apparent enough ; it sve t ' ot rbe become a matter of honourable controversy whether nr113„0„ were the most expedient ; but for Tories to come fo ot to exult in borrowed plumes I—this is m ystery indeed, reversing the established order of things, and shoschtieod the too glaring a faithfulness, th e i nan ity o f a ll principles , 3 hollowness of all professions. sic situ' Divesting, then, this exceedingly i m p or t an t but, to - ile question of all the sophist r y w hi c h o f l ate has surged 14' t, I come to this conclusion : the men who stigtna t '. l ,:i s ee ° ; form are now pursuing it, and this m a tt er - o f-faet s-sbsors naturally produces the inquiry— Why was Lord .ib e „l3o 3 " dismissed? We, as yet, have had no attempt at an % l e ce e tY tion : his Administration was daily gaining „pentstrh aVlfr fidence. It is no answer whatever to retaliate p the r; by charging them with a greedy appetite for pow l e ee lf; worst, although the commonest, means of justify inF to blame others. lam willing to grant that the pn i ' e ff,; a course is to disregard men, and look only at princ i P `W I still, not the coldest calculation can shut our eyes tedroget and ungenerous treatment.
