Minton, Esq. IJ. Finney, Esq. ILtxxxas—Messrs. Ladbroke, Kingscote, and Co. The above-named Company has been formed with a view to introduce to public attention a projected improvement in the construction of railways, from which it is confidently expected that the most important benefits will be derived by the country at large. It may suffice briefly to state, that the prominent advantages over the prevailing system which the new principle offers are 1. The preservation of life and property from those melan choly accidents which have lately so frequently occurred, com bined with facilities for travelling with equal speed, and in creased comfort and security, at dimixished rates. 2. A considerable saving of expenditure, inasmuch as a railway on the plan proposed (which will almost supersede the necessity of tunnelling or embanking) may be constructed in less time, and at two-thirds of the cost, of one of similar ex tent now in ordinary use, and the annual charge of repairs be reduced by 70 per cent. Entertaining a firm con►iction that this novel and truly ex. cellent invention is not only eminently adapted to answer the purposes contemplated by the ingenious proprietor, Mr. Ran geley, but to open to capitalists a channel for profitable invest ment in the promotion of an enterprise of great national in terest, the Company propose to prefer the fairest claim to encouragement and support by constructing, in the first instance, a railway only of sufficient dimensions to enable the public to judge of its efficiency when carried into more extensive opera tion; and for such purpose to limit the liability of persons de sirous of becoming shareholders to a deposit of 11. only on each share taken, beyond which trifling advance no responsibility 'can be incurred, until the success of the experiment shall have been ascertained, of which no doubt exists. Models and drawings of the proposed Railway may be seen and examined, and prospectuses, containing every requisite in formation, obtained at the Company's offices, 1, Walbrook buildings, Walbrook, London, where applications for . shares may be made.

The Work which is now presented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases'and affec tions, which far some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difference, by the el dinary practitioner. To enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement. We have no hesitation, however, in saying that there is no member of society, by whom the book will not be found interesting, whe ther we consider such person to hold the relation et a PA RENT, a PRECEPTOR, or a CLERGYMAN. Messrs. CURTIS and CO. are to be consulted daily at their residence, No. 7, Frith-street, Soho, from Ten till Three, and Five till Eight in the Evening; and Country Patients are re quested to be as minnte as possible in the detail of their cases, —as to the duration of the complaint, the symptoms, age, ge neral habits of living, and occupation in life of the party ; the communication must be accompanied by the " usual Consulta tion Fee of 11.," without which no notice whatever can be taken of their application ; and in all cases, the most inviolable secrecy may be relied en.

" The People's Charter' never will be carried, either by Whigs or Tories, and any physical-force attempt would end in military despotism, when the Chartist.' would be much worse off than at present. It is, ther3fore, their interest to assist in measureF which can be carried, and which will be of immediat( use to them. In all parts of the world, the masses, o) millions, must be labourers, whatever may be the form o: government, and all we require is, to improve their situ ation as much as circumstances will admit. It is utterly impossible for the manufacturers to raise wages higher than at present, and unless the Corn-law: be repealed, they will become still lower. The only way therefore, by which the labourers can be benefited, is t( lower the price of corn, sugar, and the necessaries of life, which will, in fact, be of the same advantage to them as higher wages. The Queen, God bless her, nobly supports the Ministers and the cause of the people, against the selfish, bigoted Tories ; therefore our cry should be, " The Queen and Free-trade, down with the tyrant Tories and starving monopolists!" The Tories (we remember the Peterloo massacre) af fect a regard for the poor, and abuse the New Poor-law. This is mere cant, trick, and falsehood. The Bill was supported and carried, and is still maintained, by the as sistance of the Tories, and the renegade Times is as fully aware of this as we are. There are no doubt some abuses in the new law which will be amended, but it is infinitely better than the old, which would have demoraliz3d aid pauperized the whole kingdom. I do not know the real motives of Ministers in their present acts ; but this I know, that tie measures now proposed by them, are the most liberal and enlightened that have been submitted to the people for many genera tions, and will tend more to promote peace on earth and good-will towards men than any measures that ever were, or ever will be, proposed by the Tories. The way to command our willing obedience is to administer jus tice in mercy, therefore I again say, God bless the Queer: and her present Whig Ministers. Your most obedient servant, May 24. A FREE-TRADER. DR. LUSHINGTON. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—lt will probably obviate further discussion re garding the alleged possession by my brother, Dr. Lushington, of property in the West Indies, if I inform you that the estate of Seven Plantations, in the parish of Clarendon, in Jamaica, does not belong to him, and that he has no property whatever in the West Indies. I hold a share in the Seven Plantations estate ; and this cir cumstance, no doubt, led to the erroneous report, which I now beg leave to contradict. I have the honour to be, Sir, your faithful servant, Chapel-place, Duke-street, C. LUSHINGTON. Westminster, May 24, 1841. WESLEYASS AND MONOPOLY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir—lf the Watchman newspaper, published by a party of Wesleyan Methodists, were to be regarded by men in authority as expressing the sentiments of that in fluential body upon the subject of the Corn-laws, Lord John Russell might fear too much, and Sir Robert Peel hope too much from the result of a general election. Happily, however, it no more represents the political' sentiments of the denomination than does any other newspaper. With respect to the repeal of the Corn-laws. I am happy to say that in this borough, where the Wes ley-ans constitute the most numerous body of Christians, they are, so far as my knowledge extends, repealers to a man. The treasurer of our Anti-Corn-law Association is a Wesleyan, the secretary is a Wesleyan, the president of our Operative Anti-Corn-law Association is a Wes leyan, and so is the secretary. When we want money for this object, no class of Christians gives more freely than the Wesleyans, and when work is to bo done we have no better workmen than the Wesleyans. Being a wealthy body, as well as numerous, they constitute a considerable proportion of the electoral body, and I dare venture to read the Watchman for the next six months. though a dreadful task, if a single Wesleyan be found voting at the next election for a bread taxer. Sir Robert had better not reckon upon the Wesleyans' I am, Sir, your obedient servant, A REPEALER. Huddersfield, May 21, 1841. THE DISTRESSED POLES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Stn,—You have always been ready to assist the endeal yours made for the relief of the distress of the exiled Poles, and you would render them, I believe, very mate-; rial service if you would, by inserting this letter in your columns, apprise the public of the effort which is about to be made in their behalf, and of the generous conduct of i Mademoiselle Rachel in reference to them—con duct which will secure to her :as fully the esteem of the public as her unrivalled talents command their admiration. Having had the honour of being pre sented to Mademoiselle Rachel, and having ventured to request of her in the name of this Association, to play on one occasion, during her stay in England, for the benefit of the Polish Refugees, she was kind enough in the hand somest manner at once to grant the request. Some diffi culty, however, occurred, because the terms of her engagement with Mr. Laporte precluded her from performing in public till after its termination, She plays in London on the 4th of June, and is obliged to be at Marseilles on the 10th, Madlle. achel, on findl inn there would be no possibility of rendering to the Poles the service asked for them on any day but the sth, with a generous disregard of her own convenience and comfort, immediately determined to defer her departure till the morning of the Gth; and on the sth she will re cite some passages from the tragedies in which she is most admired, at one of the theatres, or some of the public rooms. The public will thus have one more op porL-unity of witnessing the performance of this eminent tragedian, while at the same time they will contribute to the relief of the refugees.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, DUDLEY COUTTS STUART, May 24, 1841.

To obviate the inconve nience on future occasions, it has been suggested that, for a week or two previous to the Derby, a marquee of a sufficient size to accommodate the subscribers might be put up in the centre of the ride ; this, we imagine, might be dons at a mo derate expense, and would be a very acceptable boon to the sporting world. The betting yesterday was of a variable cha• racter, but confirmed the demonstration of the previous even ing, by raising Coronation and Van Amburgh to the head of the list. Both were backed for large sums at 5 to 1, and Coronation. remained at -that price to the . close ; Van Amburgh receded at one time to 7 to 1, rallied again, and finished at 11 to 2. Ralph was on the decline at one period, but was restored on the arrival of a Noble Lord, who laid out 6001. or 7001. at 7 and 8 to 1 ; encouraged by •so bold an example others " came out," and at 7 o'clock 13 to 2 was the extreme offering price. Marshal Soult commenced by i a retreat to 10 to 1, but obtained powerful reinforcement, and finished only a point behind Ralph. Galaor and • Belgrade as before, and Joachim and Ermengardis on the decline. The out side betting was remarkable only for the re-appearance of Po tentia, Cameleon, Cesarewitch, and Paltemon, upon whom divers small sums were " thrown away," The Oaks betting flat, as usual, and no change except in the Mystery filly, who wai backed at an improvement of four points.

He has also voted against hearing any evidence on the Corn. laws, or making any inquiry into their operation. He will neither examine the question himself n3r listen to the result of the investigations of others. Alderman Thompson has deceived and betrayed his consti tuents on every point. He solemnly pledged himself to vote for shortening the duration of Parliaments, extension of the Suffrage, Vote by Ballot, and Repeal of the Corn-laws. He has broken every one of these promises, and has shown, by his political conduct, that he is unworthy of confidence. .

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS PAY. CHRONICLE.--The proceedings in the House of Com mons last night were of the greatest importance. About the -ime when the more important business usually commences, sir Robert Peel rose, and thus addressed the House :—" I rise o give notice that I shall on Thursday next move a resolution .o the following effect :—.That her Majesty's Ministers do not ufficiently possess the confidence of the House of Commons to , nable them to carry through that House measures which they leem of essential importance to the public welfare, and that their continuance in office under such circumstances is at ca rious with the spirit of the Constitution." And why do hey not sufficiently possess the confidence of the House of c..,ommons? What has happened in the interval between the )prming of the session and the 24th of May 1 Lord John Russell gave notice, on the night of the budget, that he in -ended to attack the Corn-law. On the same night the sugar and timber monopolies were denounced. The corn, the sugar, gad the timber monopolists constitute a majority in the present House of Commons, and their confidence was lost the moment ihat their interests were threatened. Ministers lost the confi :lence of the House of Commons, because they proved them selves deserving of the confidence of the people. In the ho lest and conscientious discharge of their duty to their Royal Mistress and to her subjects, they felt that the time was come when to keep terms any longer with mo nop ,ly would be attended with the most ruinous consequences to the country ; and, aware of the pre ponderance of the monopolists in the House of Commons, they yet did not hesitate to propose measures which they knew must deprive them of their confidence. They said to them selves, We owe it to the Queen, not of the monopolists merely, hut of the whole people of these kingdoms, to propose such measures as we conceive necessary for the general welfare, and as these measures will be opposed by a majority in the House of Commons, to afford the people an opportunity of returning to a future House of Commons representatives disposed to support us in our well-meant endeavours. From the moment that Lord John Russell proposed to invade the corn monopoly, every man of the least political discernment knew that old party connec sions were dissolved—that the representatives of agricultural 'constituencies would instantly desert Ministers. The proceed ings which have since taken place in the House must have been anticipated by Ministers as they were anticipated by all others. They are all so many steps towards what from the first was in ‘vitable, namely, a dissolution. The notice given by the Chancellor of the Exchequer on Wednesday last, that on next Monday (yesterday) he should move, in a Committee of the House, the renewal of the sugar ditties ; and the brief answer of Lord John Russell to the question of Lord Dar lington, that on the 4th of June he should proceed with his .notion on the Corn-laws, annihilated the hope with which some of the monopolists had flattered themselves that Minis ters would be silly enough to betray the cause of the people, and resign into their hands the Government, without allowing the people an opportunity to fight their own battles. What took place on Wednesday night was a sufficient announcement of the dissolution, and as such the monopolists understood it. But we confess, though we wished, we hardly dared to hope, that Sir Robert Peel would, by such a resolution as that which he gave notice last night, afford Ministers any opportunity which could be avoided of advocating the cause of truth and justice. and denouncing the iniquitous preten sions of the monopolists. The Right Honourable Baronet is himself too much impressed with the rottenness of that cause, of which the defence has been imposed on him by the evil ge nius that has doomed him to abandon every opinion he ever professed, to have voluntarily given notice of such a resolution. He must have been impelled by the Buckinghams, the Knatch nulls, and other zealots of his party, to afford an occasion that night have been withheld, to Ministers and the supporters of the good cause in the House of Commons, for exhibiting to the country, in all their hideousness, the parties who are leagued together to trample on the rights of the people, and to sacrifice their best interests to a blind selfishness. We thank Sir Robert Peel for the favour which, however reluctantly, he has confer red on the people. The vote on Thursday will be of no value whatever as a mere trial of party strength, for the strength of Ministers is not in the House of Commons, but in the nation ; but the debate will be of infinite value as a means of enabling the people to know their friends from their enemies, and to appreciate the character and vieves of the men who are seeking 'o possess themselves of power, in order to promote their own class interests at the expense of the welfare of the country. We therefore trust that all Members who wish to stand well with the people will avail themselves of the occasion which Sir Robert Peel has afforded them, and show by their pre sence and their vote, that in the approaching crisis they are entitled to the confidence of their countrymen. The people will carefully watch the proceedings to which Sir Robert's mo tion will give rise. ADVERTISER.—WANT OF CONFIDENCE IN MINIS TEES.—SO, Sir Robert Peel has signified that it is the pleasure of his party to move a vote of want of confidence in the Ali nistry on Thursday. If he succeed, which is by no means certain, what then ? He will but pronounce more clearly and decisively what was very well known, but not said, before, that the House of Commons, being for the most part. composed of class interests, is a very unfit body to determine upon the me rits of a Ministry whose measures are designed for national, and not for class objects. He will but hasten the appeal to the arbiter of the respective claims of parties—the people. But for the disadvantage of not having the Corn-laws well and tho roughly discussed before a dissolution, and thus having too the whole case opened, the motion of Sir Robert Peel would be to us,-and, we believe to the party generally, a welcome, nay, a highly acceptable proceeding. For what does it do? It puts the Whigs, indeed, upon their trial, but do the Tories escape? And how will the two parties stand in the compari son Let the ten years of the Whig reign be put in parallel with the ten years last preceding of the Tory reign. Compare the period of 1820 to 1830 with the period of 1830 to 1841— the former period one of excellent counsel and urgency and support on the part of the Whigs to good measures, though introduced by Tories ; the latter period one of dogged resist ance, on the part of the Tories, to good measures, because be neficial to the people, or, worse, because introduced by the Whigs. We do trust that the Liberals will not be sparing— that they will at once and boldly carry the war into the enemy's territory ; and fearlessly demand of the country its judgment, Peel or Russell, Tory or Whig—restriction and monopoly, or free trade and the fair interests of all. Taking this view, we are not sure that even it may not be fit to glance somewhat distinctly at the Corn-laws; for as the Tories regard the pro posed measure as one calculated to detach some of the sup porters of the Whigs, they are not likely to leave it out of their budget of charges against the Government. Our party must take care not to suffer Sir Robert Peel to play the same trick upon them, which he did on the closing night of the sugar duties debate. It was then his forte to plead his right to a patient hearing on account of having been so markedly chal lenged by the opposite side. Accordingly, when the Liberals seemed inclined to point by a cheer some of his most glaring plausibilities, he stopped and looked a look of surprise, as if a compact had been broken ; while all the time his own party cheered most vociferously every one of his noodleisms, with ad ditional courage and force too, because their antagonists were silent. We watched with some interest, not altogether of a pleasant kind, the success of this tactic, to which we believe Sir Robert Peel owed much of his temporary triumph, for if , 1 the irony which must have been provoked, had found its vent in cheers, it would have staggered the sophist, and most probably defeated his attempt. The peculiarity was more marked, as the Tory party by no means treated Lord Palmerston, who followed, with the same forbearance. Now, this practical lesson should not be lost on the Liberals during the coming discussions. Let it be plainly shown that the measures of the Government, with all their short-comings at times, have always tended to improve the condition of the people, to extend their liberties, civil and religious ; and that if they have sometimes given occasion for censure, it has been partly owing to the strength and invete racy of the Tories, and to their own weakness, compared with that of the advocates of monopoly and class-interests, who have since the Reform Act exerted themselves perseveringly in the pursuit of the same objects, which they so scandalously ac complished, at the nation's expense, by the instrumentality of the boroughmongering Parliaments. It is true they have sometimes held a wolfish tone of regard for the people, but only for the purpose of covering their had designs. POST.—Our anticipations of yesterday morning were con firmed at the commencement of public business in the House of Commons in the evening. As soon as notices of motions were called on, Sir Robert Peel rose, and amid the breathless atten tion of a very crowded House, gave notice that on Thursday next. he would move a resolution of the House, " That her Ma jesty's Ministers do not sufficiently possess the confidence of the House of Commons to enable them to carry through the House measures which they deem of essential importance to the public welfare, and that their continuance in office under ' such circumstances is at variance with the spirit of the Con ' stitution." This notice of motion was received with tre mendous cheering by the Opposition side of the House, which continued for some time. The Right Honourable Baronet has evidently given great satisfaction to his party by this constitutional, bold, and explicit course, and we feel perfectly confident that it will give equal satisfaction to the country at large. Intelligent men of all ranks and conditions will not fail to contrast this honest and manly decision of con , duct with the sneaking ambiguity of Ministerial meanness, ' which knew not how either to proceed with courage ur to re tire with dignity. It may be asked, " What but this were the Conservatives to do ?" They might have done, as their oppo nents probably would have done under similar clrcurnstances— they might have interfered to prevent the Government ob taining the ordinary sugar duties. Her Majesty's Ministers attempted a course of policy at variance with that of the ordinary sugar duties, and were beaten by the Opposi tion in the House of Commons. Instead of resigning, they then propose the very duties which they had tried 'to alter, and failed in altering. Had the opposition been a " factious opposition," it might have said that the Govern ment hasi no right to avail itself of duties on sugar, the policy of which it had disputed. But so far from doing this, Sir Rn beet Peel himself seconded the motion of the Chancellor of the Exchequer for going into Committee to agree to a resolution continuing the ordinary sugar duties, and took the opportunity to state that he would not embarrass the Government either by opposing the duties, or moving that they should be taken for a more limited period than usual. The Government has not been met by any tortu ous or vexatious proceeding, such as would have been adopted had Whig example been followed ; but it has been met, as we said it would be, by manly, vigorous, straight forward, and constitutional opposition. But the resolution of which Sir Robert Peel has given notice is as cautious as it is bold. It is admirably worded. What can Ministerialists say against it? Surely it is undeniable that the measures which Minist'rs have lately proposed to the House of Commons are deemed by them of essential importance to the public welfare. This proposition we do not think any amount of effrontery can deny ; and it is equally beyond controversy that Ministers do not sufficiently possess the confidence of the House to enable them to carry these measures. HERALD.—The sword is drawn for the cause of Conser vative principles ! .The scabbard was thrown away, at an early hour last evening, by Sir Robert Peel, with this memo rable denunciation of Whig incapacity and presumption : ,6 upon Thursday next I shall move a resolution to the follow ing effect That it is the opinion of this House that her Majesty's Government does not sufficiently -possess the confi dence of the House of Commons to enable them to carry mea sures which they deem of essential benefit to the public welfare, and that their continuance in office under such circumstaneo is at variance with the spirit of the Constitution.'

This is the result of applying the rule of soundnesslaid down by the Direc'ors themselves, and no one can find fault when they are tried by the test of their own doctrine. The Securities in April, 1838, were £22,838,000 At April 27, 1841 22,082,000 756,000 Making a difference of Which does not affect the matter either way. But the facts thus deduced from contrasting the proportion of bullion in the Bank with the amount of her circulation as she stood at the last return, with the bullion and circulation when her position was declared to be sound and proTerous, must make the Proprietors of Bank Stock think seriously on the present state of our continental trade, and convince them that prompt and energetic measures must be adopted to give a healthy action to the foreign Exchanges, and to turn back the flux of gold to the Bank coffers. The importance of such a measure is not confined to the class interests of Bank Stock Proprietors. The Bank of England, as manager of the na tional currency, is the mainspring of public credit, and if that be snapped the whole chain of commercial confidence must be broken, and s. general convulsion and panic . in the Money Market inevitably ensue. All men, therefore, have an inte rest in supporting confidence in the Bank of England, be cause all men would suffer if the Bank were obliged to suspend specie payments. It is with the view, therefore, of inducing the monopolists to pause and to reflect upon the feeble state of this mainstay of public credit that we have illustrated, by reference to the Bank returns, bow far the position of the Establishment renders it prudent for them, with due regard to their moving principle of action, viz., their self-interest—to persist in a course of conduct opposed to the principles of free commercial intercourse with other nations—how far it is safe and prudent for them, under these circumstances, to resist the demands for cheap bread, and for a reduction in the price of other necessaries of life. It is no thing but public confidence that sustains the Bank at present. It is not her own strength, but the interest which all classes have in supporting public credit that maintains the value of the currency. Let the monopolist, therefore, beware of pressing too much upon the miseries of the people. Hunger is not to be appeased by parliamentary majorities ; and if the monopolists carry out their opposition tothe measures of relief proposed for the country, the people have the remedy in their own hands. But the truths which we have here stated as regards the Bank of England are too palpable and unquestionable to admit of a continuance in the system of monopoly. The profits which particular classes have reaped and still enjoy, from the restrictive duties' on trade, are no doubt great, and it is not to be expected that they will be abandoned without regret— without a struggle ; but when it is seen that the alternative is between concession on the one hand, and a general money panic on the other hand, and when these consequences are fairly weighed, we are satisfied that the preponderance of pri vate interest will stand so much in favour of a liberal commercial policy, that monopoly must ultimately kick the beam, Since the spring of 1841 the exchan g es have evinced something of a better appearance, but the change has not been pro duced by the legitimate operations of trade. The low state of the circulation, and the tightness of money, have been the chief agents in the work ; and, to some extent,- the bills on the Con tinent have been drawn against shipments of silver. The best part of the season is over, and yet there is no life in our ex ports, and the home trade breathes nothing but stagnation. The weather is no doubt favourable, which is a most fortunale occurrence, and with a good harvest the Bank may be able to rub on, but there is nothing in the future which presents a cheering aspect. There is no way by which fresh life and vigour can be imparted to the wretched condition of the ma nufacturing interests except by revising the fiscal duties on im ports. and displacing protection by revenue as the rule of taxation. POST.—To-morrow being acceunt-day in Consols, the de aeration of options took place this afternoon, at a quarter to four o'clock, when an extraordinary scuffle was witnessed ; speculators for the rise or fall having to establish the point whether the quotation should be determined 90 (buyers), or 90 sellers. The " bull" party prevailed. Consols were kept up t o 90 (buyers), at which price a great quantity of Stock vsas p u t." The continuation from account to account was currently done at per cent., the rate given being, however, in some rare instances, as high as %. Money for short periods was commonly to be had, on the deposit of Stock, at 5 per cent.' per annum. The closing quotations for the English market, were pretty much the same as on Saturday. An attempt was again made to stimulate the prostrate Span ish and Portuguese markets. The intelligence of a further remittance having been made on account of the Portuguese half-dividend—and what a pretty ally Portugal must be to pay half-dividends to her generous English creditors and support ers, while her home creditors continue to be paid in full— was the only pretext offered for renewed dealings, nor were they carried to an extent to produce an improvement in prices of more than * per cent. The news received of a large steam-vessel, the same sup. posed to have been seen off the Cape de Verd Islands, having been discovered progressing on her voyage towards England, has greatly revived the hope that the latter may prove to be the President. The colour of the funnel, and some other parti culars given of the vessel alluded to, seem to present a dis crepancy which should furnish grounds for caution. but the .1 whole statement is confused and imperfect, and the public wet naturally catch at the main points as correct, and such as, n m e a) , justify the conclusion to which they are disposed to com... the subject.

The pertinacious determination of the present Government to carry through its unintentionally suicidal measures, designed as they were to bear with overwhelming pressure on the present energies of the colonial, the shipping, and the landed interests, has accele rated that downfall which the daily-increasing powec and popularity of the op;iosition was securing by every constitutional andlegitimate means which the moral and intellectual inferiority of Government, as a body, had already rendered inevitable. On every side thick swarming tidings come in of defeat in one quarter, defection in another, defiance in a third, ill-dissembled disgust in a fourth, decaying influence and extinguished favour in all. The intelligence of yesterday compressed into:l4 hours a fearful aggregate of discomfiture and disgrace sufficient—(will our readers excuse the apparent exaggeration of the figure?) —to disturb even Lord Melbourne's equanimity ; to' ruffle the marble surface, as polished as impracticable, even of the Pre mier's indifference. In Birmingham, as we understand, their party, their resolutions, their promises, have been (at a large meeting) treated with so much rideness and impertinence that we should not wonder if Mr. Fox Maule and Mr. Edward Stan ley were to induce the Marquis of Normanby to forward, by the railroad, a detachment of " rural police" to repress for the fttture any exhibitions of public feeling so distasteful to noble diners out ; —so difficult for that class, notwithstanding all their transcendent powers of pleasing and conversation, to give any handsome account of to their intelligent entertainers. TlMES.—Nothing can exceed the desperation to which the Whigs are reduced, for the one sole purpose of retaining their offices till the latest possible moment. Having been defeated upo their atrocious pro-slavery proposal by such an over whelming majority as ought instantly to have produced their resignation, they have, ever since, by giving notices of motions, and by otherwise indicating an intention to proceed with pub lic business, endeavoured to keep up a dogged air of noncha lance, as if their expulsion from power were still as distant as ever. Not a week has elapsed since these degraded Ministers were signally disgraced in their own Parliament under circum stances which, if not exactly tantamount to a stoppage of the supplies, afforded conclusive proof that they are viewed by the, Legislature as a set of reckless financial empirics—yet, at this moment, were it not for their ascertained impo tence and confusion, one might almost imagine, from their manifest anxiety to resume the routine of treasury leadership, that not a single defeat had been sustained. In spite, hriwever, of all their mean manoeuvres, their weakness and trepidation are rendered every now and then quite as conspicuous as their impudence and obstinacy. Our readers will bear in mind the strong asseverations of Lord J. Russell as to the absolute ne cessity of prosecuting the Poor-law Continuance Bill without the delay of another Session. When the Ministry, previous to the Nottingham election, believed that they could tyrannize over the poor with impunity, no consideration of reason, jus tice, or humanity, could induce them to pause in their per secuting career. The studied and refined cruelties of their workhouse unionism, being elaborated to the last Anish of cold-blooded Whiggery, were to be forced down the throat of Parliament with the most arbitrary and indecent impatience. But happily the Whigs have at length been taught to know that this infamous style of legisla tion cannot be safely proceeded with. A salutary, check has been put upon their headlong inhumanity. The ordeal of the hustings is now threatening them ; and consequently, as another evidence of their vile want of principle, their Poor-law Continuance Bill, about the importance of which they have expatiated so much for months past, i 3, for the present, thrown overboard, for the sake, if possible, of saving the sinking ship. Last night Lord John Russell announced that that damning item of Whig unpopularity is postponedtill next Session. But the country will be glad to see that the contemplated escape of the Whigs, even from their immediate fate, is likely to be no less difficult than dishonourable. From this day their tenure of office is hardly worth a week's purchase. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAT. CHRONICLE.—UnIess monopoly gives_ way to free trade, it is plain, from a consideration of the state of the Foreign Ex changes, that the Bank of England cannot regain the large amount of gold required to place her in a position of stability. According to the evidence of Mr. Horsley Palmer, the Bank was in a sound position in October 1833, and in April, 1838. At the first of these dates the liabilities were 32,900,0001., and the bullion 10,900,0001. At the last-mentioned date the quarterly average en the 3d of April gives 30,249,0001. of lia bilities, and 10,126,C00/. of bullion. On the quarter ending the 27th of April last, the liabilities were 23,812,0001., and the bullion 4,538,000/.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sia,—lf it is worth your consideration, I just state to you what I know to be a fact, that very man of min British merchants residing and carrying on trade' in this country arc, to a very considerable extent, owners, in part, of Russian, Prussian, raid Swedish that a great deal of capital is employed, or rather e4.agid in shares in foreign shippinn - , and owing to the enormous duty on Baltic timber, lc., it lies prishing in our bonded timber yards. Ships can be built at less than one half the expense abroad, and sailed at two-thirds less expense on account of the difference in the prices of wages and provisions. And in Sir R. Peel's speech, although thf_Te appears an increase of tonnage every year in our 4hipping, all ships new built are entered on Lloyd's books, while ships lost or broken up remain two or three years on the list after they are totally gone. The increase of tonnage also the last three year: is merely adventitious, on account of the enormous quan tity of timber imported for the railways. This year will prove a lainentable and sad; deficiency in the imports of timber from the Baltic and America, viz. Quebec, &c. The evil of merchants in England having hares in foreign shipping- is increasing to an alarming extent. The writer of this himself is now in treaty and ar ranging for shares in three Russian ships and one Prussian, to import his own goods in, as the freight leaves a good profit. —I am, Sir, your's, &c.

How the Clergy of the Established church would raise themselves in the estimation of the people under their charge were they to follow the example of their brethren thatin county ! NORTH DERBYSHIRE MOVEMENT. The Ministerial propositions, and the union of monopolists, have thoroughly roused the dormant spirit of the hardy sons of the mountains. From valley to hill, and from kill to valley, the " fiery cross" has gone forth with a speed unexampled ; and every town, village, and hamlet of the Peak is petitioning to be relieved from the crying oppression of unjust taxation. At no former period, even during the tumultuous excitement of the Reform Bill, have petitions ever been so numerously signed from this neighbourhood, the greatest number on record being about 2,590—0 n the present occasion the signatures will exceed 4,000. In several villages the whole male adult population have signed; in others nearly the whole ; in this town about nine tenths, no person under •21 years of age being allowed to sign. This demonstration is the more striking as this is an agrieul ttiral district, where very few manufactures are eftablished. The petitions are signed by landlords, tenants, and small farmers, and by many persons who are not friendly to the pre sent Ministry. The question here assumes a national, and not a party shape. It is only just to some of the clergy to say, that although On principle they usually take no part in political questions, yet on this occasion many of them have signed the petitions, prtbably feeling that their lessons on temperance will have more effect if coffee, sugar, and even wholesome bread, were brought within the reach of their poor parishioners. In no part of the kingdom have we more zealous, charitable, or inadequately ppa►d Ministers of the Gospel than some of the clergy of the Lstablished Church here. It is among wealthy pluralists that the advocates for Corn-laws, and taxes which oppress the poor, are to be found. I need not say that the two Liberal Members for this divi sion were never so safely seated as at present. If the slate of feeling here can be taken as any indication of the country generally, Ministers will do wisely to dissolve. Bakewell, May 24. ANTI-BREAD-TAX MEETING. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Pursuantjto very numerously-signed requisitions to the Chief Bailiffs of the towns composing the borough of Stoke, a public meeting took place in the Stafford-row. Han ley, at one o'clock. Edward John Ridgway, Esq., C. B. of Hanley and Shelton, in the chair. A number of flags were used, and many placards with different mottoes. The number of persons was estimated at 7,500, and just as the proceedings commenced, a waggon filled with the leading Chartists, Richards, Capper, Mart, Robinson, Bevington, and corns Aran~ gers, was drawn in front of the hustings; and although they addressed for a long time the assembly, their amendments were lost, which they proposed in opposition to others submitted by R. E. Heathcote, J H . lA. Wyse, F. Wedg woo d, J. Rid gway . C. J. Mason, Mr. uxley, of Tunstall, and several others. At different periods there seemed great excitement ; and souse mischievous individual threw a stone at the Chartist speakers, from behind the other hustings, but be was instantly seizod and conducted out of the crowd. IN the Chartistwaggon were five workmen of one of the masters in the other waggons, to whom, however, in speaking, they paid a high compliment. After much clamour, seeing that the cause was lost, Richards, Capper, and many others privately withdrew from the ground, leaving those who pleased to remain and cavil at what was offered. About six o'clock the meeting dispersed, without any of the ill consequences which some had anticipated. Stoke-upon-Trent, Monday, May 24,1841. THE CORN-LAWS. PARISH OF ST. SEPULCHRE. Last night, at seven o'cicck, a numerous and highly respect able meeting of the inhabitant householders of the parish of St. Sepulchre, Middlesex, was held in the Governer 's Room, at the Workhouse, to take into consideration the propriety of pe titioning the House of Commons in favour of the Government measure for an alteration of the duty upon corn. Mr. .1. Tongue, churchwarden, in the chair.. Mr. GOLDWORTIIY, in proposing the first resolution, " That a graduated scale of duties upon corn injures the country, ope rating as a prohibition, and necessarily causing high prices, and a great amount of gold to be sent out of the country," said that the question before them centred upon this—whether they should have cheap bread and an extension of their Manufac tures, or dear bread and the destruction of their commerce with the world.—( Hear.) Ile was glad to see the progress that. public opinion had made upon this subject. It only remained for the people of England to respond to the call of the Minis ters, and support them in the cause.—( Applause. ) Mr. DRAPER seconded the resolution. Mr. BRADEN moved the second resolution, to the effect that the meeting approved of the measure proposed by Go vernment, as tending to promote commerce and give an im petus to trade, which has been seriously injured by the unjust operation of the existing Corn-laws. Mr. PYE seconded the motion. Mr. TANSLEY, in supporting the resolution, said that this was but the beginning of a series of meetings upon the subject ; but by a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether, he was confident of final success. Mr. COATIS next moved, and Mr: Puxox vec.onded, the adoption of a petition to the House of Commons, founded upoa the resolutions. The petition and resolutions were agreed to unanimously ; and it was further resolved that the Borough Members present it to the House of Commons; when thanks were voted, neae. con., to the Chaiiman, and the meeting broke up. HACKNEY. In accordance with a requisition, very respectably signed, the Churchwardens have convened a meeting of the itshabitauts at the Parish-house, this evening, at six o'clock.

PADDINGTON.. . _ The churchwardens of this parish have convened a public meeting of the rate-payers and inhabitants of Paddington, which will take place at the Vestry-room, Paddington-groot,, this morning, at eleven o'clock, in support of the proposition of her Majesty's Ministers for the alteration in the Corn-laws and the Sugar and Timber duties. . BETHNAL GREEN. At a meeting of the members of the Bethnal-green Reading room and Mutual Instruction Society, held at their rooms, the following resoluti ons were, a f ter an an i mate d discussion of three nights' duration, unanimously agreed to. Moved by Mr. Joux Duce, and seconded by Mr. Samosa. SULLY :—" That any law which gives exclusive protection to one class, at the expense of the people, is unjust in principle, mischievous in its effects, and incompatible with the interest and prosperity of the country. " That the laws which restrict the fr:e importation of the first necessaries of life have in their effect diminished the de mand for labour, erected obsta , Aes to free intercourse with ether nati ons , an d are d estruct i ve to our commerce w ith t he world ; therefore this society is of opinion that all such laws ought to be repealed, more especially the Corn-laws ° HULL.

Mr. ThoursoN• concurred in the observations which h 4 fallen from the last speaker. Mr. WADE t hought there was one point in which the ques tion affected ibis town p a rticularly—he meant th e a l terat i on in the duty o would be , the last to ad vocate a mea sure, if were one calculated solely for the benefit o f a s i ng l e locality . it bnu er. but w hen advantage to such l oca l ity was combined with benefit to the nation at large, it then became their boun den duty to use every effort to obtain it. Liverpool had keg been called the turnpike-gate to America, and just in the same way would Hull be called the turnpike -gate to the Baltic, pro vided the measures under consideration were once passed. Be tween three and four hundred cargoes of wood came here per annum, two hundred of which were deals. Let gentlemen re flect on that. Then as to the sugar duty, it had been said that_ by taking that produced in Brazil they would he encouraging slavery ! This was sheer nonsense and hypocrisy. Under the circumstances. therefore, he seconded the motor,. Mr. LEYETT should vote for the petition with great pleasure. Mr. FOSTER remarked that it had been asserted that if a free trade in corn, or a trade approaching to free, were once established, we should be dependent on other nations, and such a thought had influenced Lord Wellington and others similarly situated; but what were the facts? Why during the contests in which he and others were engaged, we con tinually got corn from the Continent.—(Cheers.) There waS no fear, therefore, need be entertained on that head, fur some part of the continent would always be open to us. Mr. krxxxsox cordially agreed with the sentiments et. Pressed in the petition of Mr. Squire which they had heard read. It was then moved and carried, That a petition founded upon Mr. Squire's resolution be prepared, submitted to the members of the Chamber of Commerce, and then trans mitted for presentation to the Houses of Parliament. The CIIAIRMAN would jurt remark that the measures pro posed by Lord John 'lessen were the wildest measures ever proposed by any man in any country. Nothing but madness could have induced him to bring them forward, knowing, as he must have done, they could not pass. Mr. TuosieSOK regretted the Chairman had not given ex pression to his sentiments before the debate was closed, for one of two things must be true—either Mr. Watson was mash, or FOR THE RAIN.
