The Lords did not meet yesterday. The Commons met as usual. Mr. HINDLE! . gave notice of a motion, for Friday, on the Corn-laws, and Mr. WARD gave notice of a motion, for the same day, to the effect that the ATTORNEY-GE NERAL be directed to prosecute Mr. SWANN, and another person, for bribery at the Cambridge election, when Mr. MANNERS SUTTON was chosen. Mr. Sergeant JacasoN explained to the House that the author of the charge which he had made in the Rouse against Mr. O'CorrszLL was a Mr. ROBERT Vlore Mr. O'CoNNELL said bore the appellation Xkcii Twiss." So the Learned Sergeant took a little additional shame by his new motion. tfA,l,r. LOCKHART, Mr. Fox MAuLE said 3 ' , lied not the power to prevent Clerks of °es ofths ein Scotland from acting as politi . , efikagents. CP '. "" siently t llow(.1 his Bill against A igi nWthzt,o chop. , The House went into a Committee upon the Dog. Carts Bill, after a few spirited and proper observations by Messrs. PaYME, WARBURTON, and HUME, and after r division, on which 141 voted to put down dog-carts in the country, and 30 to allow them ,be kept up. The Liberals may see by the use that is made of their aggressions on the liberties of the people, what a fatal mistake they have committed. They were told by Sir R. INGLIS that, instead of op posing this Bill, they ought to bring in a Bill to repeal the dog-cart clause of the Metropolis Police Act. In the Committee Mr. BULLER made an amusing speech, which very happily ridiculed minute legislation ; but it was thrown away on the gentlemen with micros copic intellects, to whom it was addressed, and the Bill went through a Committee. Mr. CRESSWELL moved that the House should go into a Committee to address her MAJESTY on the subject of the Danish claims. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL made a long speech against the motion. Sir STRATFORD CANNING and Mr. HUME supported the motion. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER made a few ob servations, but did not oppose going into a Committee, as he would express his opinions, he said, on bringing up the Report. After a few words from Mr. CRESSWELL, Sir C. GREY, and Mr. P. HOWARD, the House went into Com mittee ; a resolution was agreed to ; and the Report was ordered to be taken into consideration to-day. The Charitable Trusts Bill was read a third time and passed after a division on the third clause, to which Sir E. SUGDEN objected, as having been framed for a poli tical purpose. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL assured the House that the clause was necessary, and the House showed that it was of the same opinion, by assenting to the clause. In a brief debate on the Houses of Industry (Ireland) Bill, Sir E. KNATCHBULL condemned the Government for presenting legislative measures contrary to their en gagements. It was shown, in reply, that the Bill in question was not a Goverament Bill. Colonel SIBTHORP, however, swelled out very big, and spoke of the Government being idle, incapable, and inefficient. Mr. Fox :MULE said he regarded the observations of the Hon. Member as utterly below contempt ; and Colonel Sinimoap, being thereat af fronted, walked out of the House. Then ensued a *mo tion of Mr. WYNN to order the Gallant Officer to attend in his place ; and his presence being obtained, there was one of those customary scenes of retractations and apolo gies that are neither retractations nor apologies, and there the matter ended. The Clerk of the Peace (Lancaster) Bill was recom mitted after a division; a clause adding Birmingham to the Bill, was incorporated with it, one to add Manches ter was lost on a division, and finally the Report was re ceived, and the Bill ordered to be read a third time to-day. On the further consideration of the Administration of Justice Bill being moved, Sir E. St GDEN proposed a clause to prevent the Bill coming into operation till the 10th of October, alleging that it was highly improper to allow a Government that had not the confidence of the House of Commons to exercise all the patronage which this Bill would bestow. He objected also to establishing a new Court of Chancery at this period of the year, and implied that the elections would suspend the business of the Courts. A debate ensued, in which it was contended by Lord JOHN RUSSELL that it was treating Lord COTTENHAM most invidiously to suspend the period for the Bill coming into operation. It was throwing a discredit on him which he did not deserve. It had been settled between the parties that the Bill should pass, and the present opposi tion to it was not expected. Lord JOHN RUSSELL manfully spoke up for the LORD CHANCELLOR. The Tories are quite proud of their new-found strength, and taunted the Whigs with being in a minority, and told them that to allow the Bill to pass as they wished it, and to allow them to exercise this patronage, would be a practical proof of confidence in direct opposition to the vote of want of confidence to which the House had come on Fri day. The motion was pressed to a division and the Mi nisters were defeated by 101 to 83. Lord JOHN RUSSELL then declared that he would withdraw the Bill. Lord STANLEY - threw on the Go vernment, if it did, the blame of delaying the adminis tration of justice. A good deal of conversation and recrimination passed, and in the end the Bill was with drawn. The measure has been at least two Sessions, if not three, before Parliament ; and nothing but the urgency of the case could have induced the Opposition to agree that it should pass this Session. Having sanctioned it, to prevent it corning into operation till October—for a scramble for patronage, as Mr. HAwEs expressed it— was, in our opinion, a disgrace to any party. It was, so far as the Bill is intended to promote the adminis tion of justice—a denial of justice to suitors ; and the conduct of the Tories deserves severe censure. We cannot, however, approve of the with drawal of the Bill for the same reason. It is more a denial of justice to withdraw it than to keep it back till October. Lord J. RUSSELL should, we think, have thrown on the Tories the responsibility of putting it off, and should have passed it in the perfect confidence that tfie present Ministers will have to make the appointments. The withdrawal implied, we think, a conviction in Lord John RUSSELL that he will not be in office in October. Why should he express in any manner such a suspicion? Neither party did itself any honour by its conduct, and both parties brought, as Mr. B. WOOD remarked, the administration of justice into discredit by making the appointment of the Judges an obvious political job. After this matter was at an end, several measures were brought forward, and at One o'Clock the House adjourned. THE DANISH CLAIMS. We have noticed the proceedings in Parlia ment on these claims in our summary, but we deem it necessary to enter more at large into the conduct of the Ministry on this particular, and, in reality, very peculiar question. It is an old adage that men who live in glass houses should not throw stones. Now we sus pect that the present Government has been carrying on in a glass house fbr some con siderable period, and that lately their house has been rather damaged by the weather of public opinion, but more especially by their own incon siderate conduct. The present Government are working out, or professing to be working out, the principles of the Reform Act—the principles on which Lord GREY'S Government came into power. And , where are they now? Why, Lord GREY had a majority of some two hundred and fifty, after the Reform Bill was carried ; and where is it now? Where is the bright assemblage of gentlemen whose mirror-shining faces reflected the glories of the Reform Bill ? All smashed into a broken pane number one below zero in public opinion, so far as that opi nion is represented by the present House of Commons. Can all this be the result of accident ? Surely not. Because the present Government, and the willing Members who have supported that Government (many it is to be hoped for the last time), have been told and warned that such pro fession and mock-perfbrinance would ulti mately find its level, and meet its due reward. But, acting on the old folly that neither Kings nor Ministers grow wise by experience, the Reform (?) Ministers laughed the counsel of their true friends to scorn, and have acted on the insidious, but possibly more pleasing, advice of their political enemies. Now, we would not quarrel with men acting on their own, or on the opinion of their friends, in matters of private judgment ; but when public men are elected to a high, trust-worthy, and responsible position —a few men, for the ac knowledged benefit of many millions—Nye say that they have no right, moral or otherwise, to sacrifice that cause, and trust, to their own private party, or other predilections. Here we are in the eleventh year of the Re form era, and every man naturally asks what i s our position? The Tory, or turn -coat Conserva tive, exclaims, We are all right ! (Three cheers for Tory-Whigs!) The Reformer bangs down his head, and, mourning with subdued bitterness, exclaims, We are undone! And by W h om ? Why, by the very men who have stepped up the glowing ladder of public opinion to blast con fident Reformers in their dearest hopes. Our readers, we know, will not be surprised at the apparent harshness of these observations applied to men who have been honoured with the support of Reformers hitherto, and by none more honestly or energeti cally than by The Sun Newspaper. But when we find men tripping in the last stage of their political existence, by foolishly and obstinately opposing a question of justice,— a question FOUR TIMES acknowledged by the Commons to be due to poor people, and yet being conceded last night by the organ of the Government, because he knew, and expressed his belief, that, he would be defeated; he allowed it to pass that stage, in order that he might beable, by intrigue, to perpetrate his wrong to-night—we ask, is such conduct worthy of a Liberal Minis try ? If it be, The Sun shall support such Ministry no longer. If the perverse obstinacy of one man is to rule and commit the Cabinet, let the Cabinet take the consequence. We care not for the Cabinet collectively, though we respect several individual exceptions, and we only wish that they had more power or more heart to assert the great principles on which their political power is at present founded. Our cause—our party, is essentially that of the people—we are in the same boat with them, and we must swim or sink together. But that time will be doomsday ! Men are not to be eternally the cat'..- - daws of ethers merely because they have been once or twice duped. The more deceived, the more determined. Men are just the same in political as in private life—if they forfeit character once, they forfeit it for ever. To the admirable speeches of Sir STRATFORD CANNING, Mr. HUME, Mr. CRESSWELL, Mr. O'CONNELL, and other gentlemen on the discus sion of the Danish claims, the justice of which they have long and uniformly supported, we have much pleasure in directing the attention of our readers. As to the speech of Sergeant WILDE, it was quite unworthy of his abilities, if not of his repu tation. The ghosts of many poor claimants, who have perished while their money was lent or given away for political purposes by former Admini strations, may yet meet some recreant Members at the hustings. Let them remember that the race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong. "We shall meet at Phillippi !" If the Tories come into power on the principle of maintaining monopoly, how do they mean to govern the country ? The electors are bound to ask themselves that question before they resolve to vote for the Tories and monopoly. If' they can see a reasonable prospect of quietly conduct ing public affairs on the principle of making laws to plunder one another, they may venture to vote for a Tory ; if they cannot, let them not precipitate the country into anarchy by esta blishing a Ministry on an avowed principle of injustice. Since the Reform Act was passed, if not be fore, to govern by prescription was at an end, From that time forward every institution was to be tested by reason, and if it cannot be on this ground defended, it is not likely to be main tained. Since prescription is at an end, it is now more than ever necessary to make the opinions of the people the chief consideration. They are the persons to be governed, and to dis regard them, while Ministers and statesmen act on what are called constitutional .maxims, is like a builder setting about to con struct a house on some ancient model, without considering the materials which are at his command. Statesmen who defy the opinions of the governed, like Lord STANLEY, are manipulating chemists, who scrupulously watch their measures, weights, and retorts, with out troubling themselves to investigate the nature of the substances contained in their vessels. It is, then, above all things necessary that the statesman of our day should consider the opinions of the living generation; and there is one opinion in which all men agree. They affirm that Government is established to promote the good of the whole community. That is a theory universally adopted. But the Tories are to take the Government on the avowed principle of sub- , stituting class legislation for the general benefit. They are to maintain sugar duties for the plant ers, timber duties for the London capitalists en gaged in the Canada trade, and corn duties for the benefit of the owners of rent. They are, therefore, to establish the Government on a prin ciple which they, in common with all men, con demn, and in direct defiance of their own de clared opinions. Moreover, as the opinion that government is established to promote the general good, is just and wise, it must every day acquire more and more force and consistency. Daily, then, the Ministry which is established in defiance of it, must become weaker, and must speedily be de stroyed. It will not do to say that government was practically conducted on a defiance of the general good in former times. When prescrip tion came to an end, that argument ceased to have any force. The multitude are now aware of the object and intention of government, and to be quietly governed they must be convinced that the laws they are required to obey are for their own good, as well as the good of the law makers. The practical question then is, do the Tories expect, or can they hope, that all the manfuc turers, that all the artizans, that the great body of consumers will obey a law to enrich sugar planters, by taxing them ? Can they rationally expect that the multitude will put up with short commons and deficient employment, with poverty and starvation, to swell the rent rolls of law-making landlords? These are such manifest violations of the general principle on which go vernment is founded, that it is unreasonable to expect that men will obey such laws. Their sense of justice, their hatred of lies, their want of food,—moral rectitude and self-preservation, the strongest sentiments, and the strongest pas sions, will urge them to resist such laws• To establish a Ministry, then, on the principle of supporting monopoly is a sure way to bring government into peril, and introduce anarchy into society. To us it seems a fearful experi ment to attempt to establish a Ministry in oppo sition to the general principle of all govern ment, and in opposition to justice, inviting and directing against it the strongest passions of the great multitude of the governed. We know it is said that the landlords and the parsons, and those they can dupe, are in favour of their injustice, and zealously support this class legislation; that they constitute a large and en lightened body of the nation, and that by their support a Government founded on monopoly may be maintained. Do not believe it. In 1834 the landlords them Selves required their class, legislation to be altered. Another such year as 1834 will come with the first abundant harvest, and the classes on whose support the monopoly depends, will then fall out, and the Government and the country will be a prey to anarchy. What a lesson, too, does this Tory system read the multitude. It says, that by legis ption men may enrich themselves, and it tells them to acquire legislative power as a means of engrossing wealth. It is a direct bounty on revolution. The Chartists have learnt the lesson of the Tories. They imitate the Peers. They want to get hold of the power of law-making, that they may tax other people to support them. That is the abominable precept the Tories teach, that is the abominable example they set, and both are followed. They are the very essence of plunder and anarchy, and in the ensuing election all who wish to give complete ascendancy to plunder in order to bring about confusion, will vote for a Tory. Some cunning and unprincipled men sup port the Tories because they know that to install them in office is to ensure the destruction of go vernment and the dominion of anarchy. Mr. HINDLEV last night gave notice that he would, on Friday, on the Order of the Day for going into a Committee of Supply, call the atten_ tion of the House to the injustice done to th e lower and middle classes of society by the exist ing system of taxation, and especially by the pre sent Corn-laws. The Tories may, therefore, be unable to escape the discussion they dread. on the bread-tax. Mr. VILLIERS, to whom the sub ject properly belonns, could not perhaps bring it f,irward, because, as lie said in tire House, the Ministers had taken the task out of his hands. We uudeNtood that to imply that he had at the THE SUM LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 10, 1811. request of Ministers waived his own motion to allow them to undertake the questio;l, and though they were unable to bring it forward, he might feel himself precluded on that account from further moving at present in the matter. But Mr. HANDLEY and other Members are un der no such obligation, and we cannot see why they should not make, after the manner of the To ries, appeals to the hustings through the House of Commons. We are quite aware of the technical and formal difficulties that prevented Lord JOHN RUSSELL from provoking a debate on the subject by a motion but they only stand in the way of Ministers, and it is the duty of other Honourable Members not to allow the subject to sleep. Mr. HINDLEY'S intention was excellent, the wording of his motion implies an admirable principle, and, well followed up, it may much contribute to the success which we believe awaits the anti-bread taxers. A long correspondence has taken place between Sir ROBERT PEEL and the Members of the Chamber of Commerce of Manchester, which places him in the same position, with reference to them, as Lord STANLEY is placed in with reference to Mr. HANDLEY. "We shall have more to say of this correspondence hereafter. At present we must content ourselves with stating, that Messrs. J. B. SMITH and HOLLAND HooLE have convicted the Right Hon. Baronet of having sought " to obtain a temporary triumph of party interests, not only at the expense of the character and reputation of the Chamber of Commerce at Manchester, but also at that of truth and justice." The Right Hon. Baronet is convicted of having re ferred to documents, as emanating from the Chamber, to which the Chamber never called his attention, and which it disowns ; and he is convicted of having styled a gen tleman a champion of the Chamber, to give force to his arguments, who had no connection with it, and had never been put forward by it. He is further convicted of hav ing admitted the accuracy of a report in which he is made to accuse the Chamber of declaring that it would abide by the book of its assumed champion, and yet of having ex punged that passage from a report of his speech cor rected by himself, as if he were conscious of its incor rectness, and ashamed of what he had said. The two great Conservative leaders stand then in this position before the public, of having calumniated and mis represented individuals to gain a temporary party triumph. Of the two, Sir ROBERT PEEL is less sincere than Lord STANLEY, for the Noble Lord has not persevered in his error, while the Right Hon. Baronet has wriggled himself deeper into the mire. We had occasion yesterday to contrast his language as an assumed free-trader, with the violent language of the anti-free-trade Standard. But though in words the Tory Baronet supports the manufacturers, by deeds he tries to crush them. He maintains the Corn-law, and submits therefore to be the tool of that rabid party which actually attempts to extinguish our manufacturing population. A greater degradation than thus to be the instrument of executing the wickedness he pretends to abhor, and of strik ing down the origin of his own and his family's greatness, we cannot conceive ; except, indeed, it be that of submitting to make misrepresentations in Parliament, and to calumniate his opponents, in order to attain the ends of the destroying party, of which he is the head. Lord .MoaPETH has many strong claims upon the gra titude of the Irish people, and upon no question of great national interest has his Lordship done more to strengthen these claims than upon that of the necessity of establishing railroads in Ireland. Men of a less san guine temperament, and of more contracted sympathies than the Noble Irish Secretary, would have abandoned the question of Irish railways in disgust, had their labours met with half the opposition from aristocratic selfish ness and popular ignorance, which his former exertions experienced. But temporary obstructions only increase the zeal cf those who have really at heart the welfare of their fellow-creatures ; and in the House of Commons last night Lord MonPETH obtained leave to bring in a Bill for making railroads in Ireland, which if not so extensive as his former measure, has the merit of oeing eminently R*tieable, and every way calculated to facilitate the mot ysical, and commercial improve ment of Ireland. se outline of the Bill, as detailed in the speech of the, - Noble Lord, is very simple, and may be easily comprehended. Some large English capitalists, whose names we omit for the present, have offered to raise a capital of 1,300,0001. sterling in debentures, bear ;:tg an interest of four per cent. for completing, in the first instance, the great line of railway between Dublin and Limerick. The construction of the works is pro posed to be under the management of three Commis sioners, which, to avoid all favouritism and jobbing, are to be named in the Bill. The Commissioners proposed by the Government are Sir JOHN BuncorsE, Mr. RENNIE, and Mr. JONES, who, being Secretaries to the Irish Railway Commission, are conversant with all the details of the presumed advantages of conflicting lines. These Commissioners will of course be paid for their trouble, but the Bill proposes that the expenditure shall be under the management of a Board of Control, com posed of seven members, to whom no salaries will be al lowed. The Bill empovvers the Commissioners to extend the line of railway from Limerick to Cork, after the completion of the line . between Dublin and Limerick, and likewise permits private companies, who may construct pri ' vate or cross-lines, to unite them with the great trunk in tersecting the kingdom. Nothing can be simpler or fairer than the proposed plan for paying the interest upon the debentures. Where the line is profitable the interest is to be paid out of the profits, and where for a time no profits are realised the amount will be levied upon the counties through which the railway passes, in proportions commensurate with the ad vantages which they derive from it. In Ireland this can be felt by no party as a grievance. There roads have been constructed and repaired from time immemorial by means of county-cesses, or road-rates, imposed by the Grand Jurors. The railway tax will, therefore, be but an old tax under a new name, with the advantage of not being liable to be increased through the obstinacy of some thick-skulled country squire, or the dishonesty of some landed proprietor eager to improve his own es tate by a rood at the expense of the county. But, speaking seriously, it is not to be supposed that a line of railway, connecting the capital of Ireland with the mouth of the Shannon, and with a city of such im mense commercial capabilities as Cork, would prove, even for a single year, an unprofitable speculation. The immense impulse which such a line would give not only to the interior traffic, but to the external corn ritere of Ireland, would be immense. Cork and Limerick would become great depots of the trade between Great Britain and the United States. The cost of the transit of agricultural produce of all ch scriptions from the interior of Ireland to the best markets in England, by means of railways and steamers, would not be greater than the present charges for carrying them, to increase the glut in the market of the nearest provincial city. The whole of the people of Ireland are therefore most deeply in terested in the success of the Bill now brought forward by Lord Monporn, but which will not be proceeded with before the next session of Parliament. They have ample time for reflecting upon the advantages of this measure, and also for getting up petitions in support of it. We trust they will not be wanting to themselves in ably seconding the patriotic labours of the Noble Lord. Let United Ireland put her shoulder to the wheel, and every obstacle to her improvement must give way before the application of a strength irresistible, if she knew but how to employ it properly. The most contradictory statements are made in the French papers of Monday respecting the Ministerial crisis. The Presse assures its readers that Marshal SouLT only talked of resigning, but that he does so no longer. The Constitutionnel, on the contrary, states positively that the Marshal's resignation was complete, and that the most earnest entreaties of the KING failed to cause him to withdraw it. The Marshal was reported to be somewhat recovered on Monday. His complaint is irritation of the stomach. On Sunday he was visited by the Duke of ORLEANS, who remained closeted with him for some hours. The KING came to Paris on Sunday and presided at a Cabinet Council, which sat till four o'clock. The deliberations of the Council were upon the question as to whether it would be advisable to summon the Deputies to Paris to adopt the amendments of the Peers upon the Recruitment Bill. Marshal SOULT had recommended such a course to the KING, as the only condition upon which he could think of resuming office. Those Members of the Cabinet who at heart are tired of the yoke imposed upon them by the illustrious Marshal, offered various objections to such a course, but they were overruled by the KING and by their colleagues. Before the Council rose it was gener ally understood that the proposal to summon the Depu ties to Paris had been adopted. If this be so the Minis terial crisis in France is over for the present. The following paragraph, upon which we lay no stress whatever, appears in the Commerce of Monday : " It is reported that the friends of M. Thiers have already invited him to return to Paris, whil,t others pretend that M. Guizot has within his reach parties to replace Marshal Soult and M. Teste, for the retirement of the two would be simulta neous. It is added thst M. Dufaure would accept the depart- ' ment of Public Works, and that M. Guizot, who would re serve for himself the Presidency of the Council, would hesitate ' as to the War department between General Schramm and Marshal Valee, but the chances are said to be in favour of the latter." Under no circumstances whatever do we regard M. THlElis's immediate return to °like as possible. His po litical charlatanism has disgusted all parties, and for the present the BOBADIL of French statesmanship must re main upon the shelf, Nylwre the KING, M. GUIZOT, and Lord PAL3IERSTON jointly deposited him. There are various articles in the Pis Journals of Monday on the domestic policy of England, and the pro bable results of the approaching elections. All approve of the immediate dissolution of the present Parliament. M. Humann I.as just addressed a circular to all the Prefects, calling upon them to give the necessary orders, in their respec tive departments, for the proper collection of the different taxes, adding, that although the Government feels the most lively interest for all establishments for the comfort and in struction of the poorer classes, yet it must require the laws re lating to till taxes with which they are chargeable to be pro perly carried into effect, and urging the Prefects to guard against improper exemptions being granted. A Naples letter, May 23, say +—" The Honourable Mr. Temple was occup,ed in bringing the treaty of commerce be tween England and Naples to a conclusion. It is said that by the terms of this treaty vessels under the British flag will ob tain an advantage of 10 per cent. in the" entrance duties over the-most favoured nations, in all the ports of the kingdom of Naples. The reports which had been spread as to the prujected journry of the King and Queen of Naples to Vienna, ai e un founded. Their Majesties will this year confine their tour to Sicily. In the night of the 13th, a la , ge porilen of the rock above the rue Ce.tamone, one of the most frequented in Naples, became detached and fell down with a tremendous crash. Fortunately it hapiiei,ed in the night, or many lives would, in all probabi:ity, have been sacrificed. FRENCH AFRICA. We have the following letter from Oran, dated the 15th of Nlay : " Two proclamations written in the Arabic language have been sent into the interior; one of them, addressed to the soldiers of the Emir, guarantees to them in case they submit, the confirmation of the rank which they hold in the army of Abd ed-Kader, and of the pay attached to that rank. The second circulates among the Arabs, and informs them that the war will be vigirously carried on against the rebe's, but that such of them as desire to live at peace with France, have only to come to our camps, where they will be well received and well treated. The two proclamations say that the war is carried on only against Ahd-el.Kader and his part.sane, that the King's Government is resolved not to cone ude any treaty with that insolent chief, and that he will be at length compelled to submit to our discretion ; they farther give the Arabs the assurance that their manners and their religion shall be respected, and that proofs shall he given them of the good will and generosity of France towards them. It is believed that these proclamations, which are very conciliatory, will produce an excellent effect on the soldiers of the Emir and the tribes of the interior. The Toulon squadron is on the point of sailing for the Hyeres islands. After all the vessels have joined, Admiral Hugon will put to sea to practise evolutions. '1 here will remain in the road only two ships of the line destined for the Levant, those which are to convey to Africa the battalion and some sharp-shooters, and the Andromede frigate, lately arrived from the north. —Le Constitutionnel.

The aspect of both stock and produce markets in the City was dull in the extreme to-day, and although the quotation of the English Securities did not give way, it was as much from pure inanition as any thing else. For money Consols remained all day at 894. For the opening on the 16th of next month, the current value all day was 89 to 881. Exchequer Bills brought a premium of is. to 9s. , and East India Bonds were at par to 2s. premium. The Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cents. were at 97,4 to a, and the Three per Cents. Reduced at 88L to Long Annuities were at 12,-1 to 13-16. How long the present depression in Foreign Stocks is likely to last is a question that really becomes of serious import, when we reflect upon the large class of holders in this country, the value of whose property is actually dwindling before their eyes, in consequence of the shameless apathy and wretched impoverishment of their creditors. What with these adverse circumstances, and the prospect of one or more of the States of North America failing in the payment of the interest due upon their debts, the capi talists of England have been finely plucked within the last few years, for no other purpose than that of exalting the bor rowers into manufacturing, if not political rivals. If money is to be loaned, we trust hereafter it will be towards the im provement of the resources of Ireland, or of our own colonies, the prosperity of which is bound up with our _own. The Ac tive Spanish_Eonds were at 23* to 23 ; the New Portuguese Five per Cents. at 33* to a ; the Colombian Stock of 1824 at 20.4- ; the Alexican of 1837 at 27 ; the Old Brazilian at 64 ; the Peruvian Six per Cents. at 15; the French Three per Cents. at 77f. 25c. ; and the Dutch Five per Cents. at 9974 1 to 100.

The non-arrival of the Britannia excites a lively feeling of solicitude and anxiety, and every day of delay brings with it an increaEe in the pre mium of insurance on her. The produce markets all wear a heavy appearance, and money in the City, generally, is not obtainable on the best Fe - curity under 5 per cent.

Baker, at the Coventry Cross, Bromley, on the body of Robert Bengough. aged 17, a fancy toymaker. Thomas Bengough said that on Sunday morning last he was passing the end of the river Lea, near that place, when he saw his son, the deceased, about to bathe. Witness advised him not to do so, as the weather was then rather cold and the wind high; but his son persisted, and went in. He had not remained on the bank long before he heard the deceased cry out that he was entangled in the weeds and was drowning. Witness could not swim, and we.= therebre unable to render him the least assi.,tanoe. but he 4;41 d loudly for help. A mau came is a few seconds and jumped into the mater, but could not suc ceed in finding him before he was quite dead. Verdict—Ac • eideutal death. , MARYLEBONE ELECTION. TO THE EDIT 01? OF THE SUN. SIR—As you have published the Correspondence between Sir Charles Napier ,•nd Air. Young I shall feel obliged by your adding the further Correspondence between Mr. 13. Wall, :Ur. Young's Secretary, my , elf.—l am, Sir. your obedient servant, JOSEPH IVIMEY, Hon. See. Jtwe 9, 1841. Nu. I. 28, Nort, June , 181. Sts,.—The resolutions adopted by o the n-street Warren-stree 9 t Soc 4 iety, and forwarded to Mr. Young, have been submitted to the As sociation ; and I am desired to state that they would con ider a requisition, signed oily by the Reformers who voted at the last two elections, as a most unsatisfactory test of public opinion. The annual migration of electi,rs amounts to many hundreds, and the registered Reformers of 1837 must be a mere fraction of the Reformers registered in lti4l. I am, therefore, instruc ted again to press upon the attention of Sir C. Napier's friends the necessity of a public meeting, as the only means by which the peril the Reform interest is now plated in can be averted. 1 am authorised to add that persons shall be stationed at the doors of the place of meetio,i, with strict lists cf the electors, to ascertain that every individual who presents himself is an elector, before he is admitted, I am, Sir, your obedient servant, (Signed) BENJAMIN WALL, Hon. Sec. Joseph Isimey, Esq. No. 11. 62, Warren-street, Fitzroy-square, June 9, 1841. SIR,—I am directed to acknowledge the receipt of your letter declining the offer of Sir Charles Napier's Committee to test the preference of the constituency for himself or Air. Young, by a canvass of the Liberal electors of the borough. You must allow me to observe upon the impropriety of charging Sir Charles Napier with declining to abide by the decision of a public meeting, when lie has in fact attended no less than ten public meetings, 4 ' at all of which a vast majority has declared in his favour. On the other hand Mr. Young has not called a singe public meeting since the certainty of a dissolution of Parl,ament has been manifest. But he did attend the great meeting of the electors at the Yorkshire Sting°, where, not ithstandivig the profuse distribution of circulars inviting Air. Young's friends to be present, a large majority held up their hands for Sir Charles Napier. Since therefore the evidence of so many meetings has proved the decided preference of the electors for the Commodore, and since Mr. Young's Committee decline the only ceher test, viz. a public canvass, it remains f or Si r Ch ar l es N ap i er to pursue the same straightforward course he has hitherto adopted. He will therefore continue his district meetings, and conclude them with one general meeting of all the Liberal electors, of which full notice will be publicly given, of which also you shall have the earliest possible information, and which will of course be open to Mr. Young and his friends. The Committee have ne doubt that on this, as on every previous occasion, Sir Charles Napier will be received with that enthusiasm which has already characterised his progress through the borough. I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, JOSEPH IVIMEY, Hon. Secretary. Mr. Benjamin Wall. 1. The Yorkshire Stingo, New-road. 2. The King and Queen, Paddington Green. 3. The Royal Oak, Bayswater. 4.

Last evening a meeting of the parishioners of St. Mary's, Lambeth, was held at the National School-room, George street, Lambeth-walk, The meeting was called under the fol lowing circumstances :—The Churchwardens of the parish of St. Mary, Lambeth, having refused to accede to a requisition, numerously and respectably signed, to convene a meeting of the rate-payers and inhabitants of the parish, to take into con sideration the propositions of her Majesty's Ministers for the reduction of the protective and prohibitory (tulles on corn, sugar, and timber, and thereby render unnecessary the imposi tion of new taxes, we, therefore request a meeting of the rate payers and inhabitants of the parish, at the National School room, George-street, Prince's-road, opposite the Workhouse, on Wednesday next, 9th of June, 1841, at, five o'clock in the afternoon, for the purpose of taking the above-mentioned pro eoseions into consideration, and agreeing upon the most ex pedient mode o f carrying the same into effect. Signed by up wards of 400 rate-payers. At a few minutes past six o'clock the chair was taken, at the unanimous request of the meeting, by Mr. William Hawes, brother to the Member for the Borough. He said, unless the measures proposed by the Government were speedily carried into laws, there wood be less employment, less wages, and, of course, increased discontent; in tact, he thought the se mea sures were the inevitable result of the Reform Bill ; the ques tion was whether they had been brought forward soon enough (Cheers, and " Teat's the question.") That was the ques tion, but when they saw that after the public mind had been prepared by the public press, they were scarcely able yet to say that they could pas the measures, what cou,d have been done before ? Sir R. Peel, from the whole tenor of his public life, must naturally be the friend of the Monopolists, and backed as he was by the agricultural interests, the people had a battle to tight that would require the whole of their energies. The question before them was ene of monopoly and place, against free trade and a Government who, he fully b e li eve d, deserved well of their country.—( Cheers.) Their great opponents were not Sir Robert Peel, but Lord Stanley and Sir James Graham, who formerly were the great friends of " No mono poly ;" but it was well known that the estates of the latter were deeply mortgaged, and it was from that class of landlords only that they met with the most opposition. The Fitzwilliams and the Radnors, all whose estates were. their own, were in favour of the measures of the Government, which were those of free trade.—(Lheers. ) He requested that all persons who offered themselves might have a fair hearing, whether in favour of the resolutions to be proposed or not.—( Cheers. ) The two Members for the Borough here entered the School, and were loudly cheered. Mr. Ric HA itnsoN proposed the first resolution. They were obliged to meet in that room. because—not that women were the cause of all evil—but because, in that ease, the clergyman was the party who had prohibited the Churchwardens from call ing a proper and legally constituted parish meet ing. —( Cheers. ) He moved—" That the propositions of in r Alajesiy's Mini,ters, having for their object the reduction of the protective and prohibi tory duties on corn, sugar, and timber, are calculated to raise the drooping commercial interests of the United Kingdom, by throwing open the respective sources of each nation's pro ducts and wants, to be reciprocated by the d e mand s an d sup . ply of the others, thus following our the great law and action of nature. That British capital, skill, and industry, unfettered by impost on the man and the material, can suc cessfully compete with the capital, skiil, and ineustry of aey nation of the earth; and that a means whereby a mat ket fur British manufactures can be obtained is eminently necessary, in the present distressed state of the national resource s, and the wretchedness and debasement of the great bulk of the people. That all taxes, direct or indirect, upon human sus tenance, are opposed to the Divine law, and socially impolitic, and that every approach towards the abrogation of such taxes, by whomsoever proposed, or maintained, deserves, and is entitled to our best, untiring, and most zealous support ;" and supported it by relating that at a time whet, the poor theu ar.ds in the north of Scotland were starving, hundreds of thousands of quarters of wheat were thrown into the river. The poor might starve, but the pockets of the landlords must be tilled at the expense of the multitude. He stood there e s a member of the Corn-law League, as an agitator, because he could not see why the landlords of the country should live in luxury, while the thousands, nay, the millions were starving. The measures of the Government were calculated to benefit the country, and he hoped they would receive the support of the whole working population. The Hon. Gentleman read a petition presented from a Birmingham artisan, in 1838, show ng that he paid taxes to the amount of ss. 34d. ueon his neces saries every week, and praying for a property tax. He called upon the meeting to study that petition, and they would find that the Corn-laws were not only creel and unjust, but im pious. He hoped every one present would resolve to support the present Government in their . endeavours to ameliorate the condition of the poorer classes. Mr. MILES seconded the motion, and proved from the census that the population of the parish of Lambeth had doubled within twenty years, and was now rot less than 120,000, and the parish, in consequence of the provision lees. were taxed to the amount of 60,0004 a year. The offered protection of Bs. a quarter was, he was convinced, equal to all the Poor .rates, tithes, &c., which were imposed upon land, anti theiefore our farmers ought and would be Ale to compete with the foreign grower. Suppose it were to throw some little land out of cultivation, it would enable the grazie r t o g i ve beef and mutton to the working classes at rather less than a famishing price. Including the timber duties he calculated that the measures of the Government would relieve the parish of Lambeth of at least 100,0001. a year, all of which would give increased employment to operatives. The Corn-laws were in operation in Ireland, yet the wages of the labourer were stated to be only 2d. a day. He accounted for that by the fact that manufactures were not extended in Ireland, but contrasting it with the price of labour in America, it was evident that the Corn-laws did not maintain the price of wages. Let the manufactures of England be annihilated, and it would not be long be fore the artisans even of London would find it ruinous to them. He cordially seconded the resolution, and pressed upon them the necessity of keeping up the agitation upon the whole of the propositions.—( Hear. ) Mr. SOUTH WELL strongly supported the resolution, and de precated any Chartist or other interruption to the unanimity which was so essential in such a strait as the country had now arrived at. The people of this country would see better days, when they were wise enough to have no taxes but for the pur poses of revenue. lie trusted that every man asnongst them would be active—that each would put his shoulders to the wheel, and the great political machine must work according to their will. No roe er could withstand the united will of 'a people un led upon sound principles. The auti tree traue principles were the cau e of unspeakable misery to thousands of their fellow-citizens. Let them think on what Lord Bacon said, " that know edge is power " Let them be lieve that doctrine, aid act upon it, and the Poor-law anti the Corn-law would not stand one hour. The Duke of Rich mond, beaming with benevolence, threatened, if these laws were r epealed, that he would go abroad with all his property. They had then to make their choice—either make up their minds to have no import of corn, or they must have an ex port of Dukes.—( Cheers and laughter.) But he, for one, would prefer to have an import of corn, for although they could do without Dukes, they must lean upon the staff of life. —(Laughter.) There must be something essentially wrong in our legislation, whet e thousands were allowed to starve and wallow in rags, when nature had been so bountiful to this coun try. The usual organs of the Tories showed what their mind was, and the Standard one of the most honest of the lot, a few days ago said that the country would be as rich if the whole manufacturing towns were annihilated and ploughed over—those were the sentiments of the Tories. Then if the working classes chose to support them, they deserved to re main in that bondage from which the Tories would not re lease them. He supported the resolution as an instalment; lie looked forward to free and unrestricted trade in all things. --(Cheers.) To do any good they must agitate, agitate, agitate.—( Loud cheers.) Mr. Hem, supported the resolution, and called upon the working classes not to support the Whigs, but above all things to shun a Tory, not as one suspected of having the plague, &e. but es one a •treelly having it.—(Loud cheers.) Afti r re futing the fallacies respecting our being independent tin foreign couturier, by showing that at the hottest time of the war in 1809 anti 1810 we were liberally supplied notwithstandieg the edicts of Buonaparte. It was a well-known fact that trade would at all times force itself—we even sent muskets to France for the purpose of fighting ourselves—we would at all times command muskets enough for a full supply. Mr. Witeraets, the Chartist baker, then came forward, and argued that a repeal of the Corn.laes could only reduce the price of the 41b. loaf two-pence ; that might be a saving to a working man, wills a family, of four-pence per day ; but he would lose from eight-pence to a shilling a-day in his wages. (The speaker went at considerable length into this line of ar gument, amidst the utmost impatience of the great majority of the meeting.) ";Another Chartist, a mere boy, wished to address the meet , ; tot t €,T g it !-,er :i rate-payer, nor an inhabitant of the part n, the n ee ing almost un edinously refused to t. ar him. Ihe re,,olu io i was t hen, put, anti c. r. ie Mr. 11PLEon n o ed the next resolutiou— "That her Majesty's present Ministers having declared in MORNING .EDITION. pose, and carry into effect, measures in accordance gee Parliament their adherence to, and their determination t° lry ' principles expressed in the preceding resolution, this r_l7l pledges itself, individually and collectively, to aid in..et u using all jut and reasonable influence within the cons tn o ; of their own borough, in returning fit and proper men t_ o r ti , liament, by stimulating and exciting tuencies to imitate their example, and by affording t he i rv e et,, such means of information and deliberation upon the s_ by meetings, petitions, discussions, and lectures, as WI effectuate the purposes of this meeting." their pre' those of other Iwo He was not a Whig ; but he would support them 4 0 c od sent measures because he thought they would sue ' o w taxation and benefit the trade of the country, and , a' B _ o ol of course, increase the employment for the workinge_ and, under such circumstances, it would be impossib in duce wages.
