RUSSELL last night made his an nounced speech on the silent and reserved po licy of Sir ROBERT PEEL. After adverting to our foreign relations, and making a number of observations on the law of the State of New York, the Noble Lord, with a candour, of which Sir ROBERT PEEL took a skilful advantage, ad mitted that the appointments made with regard to Ireland gave hi m great satisfaction. Lord JOHN does not expect that Lord ELIOT will in troduce Lord STANLEY'S Bill; and that admis sion made Sir ROBERT PEEL say that the Noble Lord had now admitted that he had got over the difficulty as to Ireland, which three months ago was described as an ins;uperable bar to the Tories governing that country in peace. We pry not into Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S motives for this ami cable candour, but to the public it will appear as if Noble Lords and Right Hon. Gentlemen thought much more of their personal feelings than of that public good for which they meet to consult. Lord JOHN took exc eptions at co ns id era bl e length to Sir ROBERT PEEL'S policy for no t a t on ce meeting and discussing the Corn-law d. ques tion, and dwelt w ith much force on the great 1 S the decay of - trade, and th e tress of the people , immediate me asures to give necessity of taking relief to the suffering classes. To all hi s reasons, not supported b y which were well urged, la but any motion, Sir R. PEEL turned a deaf ear, an d entered with a more consequential air tha n usual which he thanked Lord into a pa r ty controversy, • 0- Jourt RUSSELL' for provokin g . If he were t o b e an alteration of th e taunted with not proposing Corn-law after he had been only a month in office, what could be said o f the late Ministry, who had been five years in office, and had not proposed any measure till th e y were left in a minority ? The Right Hon. Baronet also ransacked their Budget, mocked at their timber duties, though he had shown that the alteration in sugar duties would not have added to the revenue, and asserted that the free traders who now saw corn in: ported at ls. duty per quarter, would not ac cept the Ss." duty, leaving the fixed duty men without any support in the country. The Right Hon. Baronet was loud in his assertion, that he would not govern the county as the instrument Of any man's opinion, and the instant he could not freely act on his own conviction of what is for the public good he would retire. Lord PALMERSTON answered Sir R. PEEL in a very able speech, and cautioned the Tories to remember that there was a country as well as a House of Commons, and that their majority did not represent public opinion. Lord PALMERSTON convicted Sir R. PEEL of applying the argu ments which were directed against an alteration of the Canadian timber duties, to an alteration of the Baltic timber dates. The oble Lord might have added, too, that Sir R. PEEL'S calcu lations about the sugar duties omitted the im portant element of hope. When the Ministers proposed their Budget they united an alteration of the sugar duties, the corn duties, and the tim ber duties in one scheme. Had that been car ried into effect, the corn trade and the timber trade would undoubtedly have increased. A stimulus would have been given to our export trade—there would have been more employment for the people—speculation would have been rife —more corn and sugar would have been used— and a considerable quantity of foreign sugar would have found its way into the mar ket, adding to the revenue, while the price, in consequence of the additional demand, would not have sunk so low as at present. Sir R. PEEL, however, wonderful critic could see only the price of sugar in the Parliamentary papers. Great philosopher as he is, he overlooked the ingredient of hope, though to the administration of his Tory predecessors it yielded, in the shape of lottei ies, a fixed sum yearly to the revenue. It was well remarked by Mr. VILLIERS, that trade had been paralyzed by the uncertainty of commercial men as to the conduct of the Legis lature, which began in April to talk about our commercial regulations, and has talked about them ever since. Sir ROBERT PEEL reasoned concerning the Budget on the facts of this year, as if they would have been the same had the Budget been settled in May; and concluded, because trade has been dull, and the price of sugar low, that the revenue would not have been increased had trade been flourishing and foreign sugar abun dantly imported. A greater master of fallacies, a more accomplished advocate, and a less candid, less truth-seeking statesman that Sir R. PEEL never spoke in the House of Commons. One of his statements surprised us, because it was so contrary to his ordinary wisdom. He again admitted the deficiency in the revenue, and the necessity for equalising it with the ex penditure; "But I cannot take measures," he said, in substance, " to remedy the evil till I know the whole deficiency. There is China you have put the expense of the expedition in that country down at 400,0001., but can I be sure that it will not be four times that sum. Then there is a great Colonial expenditure. New South Wales is making a demand to the extent of 900,0001. New Zealand has drawn bills for nearly 100,0001. Canada has been promised a gua rantee for a large sum. lam sure the House will : see that I must have time to con sider all these matters before I attempt to make a financial plan that shall provide for them all.'' Very true, Sir ROBERT, you cannot provide for an evil of which you have no cognizance, but does that preclude you from providing fo.r one with which you are well acquainted ? Let us il lustrate this proceeding by a transaction in pri vate life. Suppose Sir ROBERT'S friend, the Duke of BUCKINGHAM, were out at elbows, that his ex penditure exceeded his revenue, and that he vas borrowing money every year —suppose, at the same time, that he had farms mismanaged and underlet, timber which he could fell, unworked lquarries and collieries which persons were anxious to hire—would not Sir ROBERT recommend his Grace to begin at once to make the two ends meet? Would he not urge him not to delay improving his cultivation, raising the rents of his farms, cutting down his timber, let ting his quarries and collieries, and so adding to his resources, while he improved his property? To he sure he would; and he would, moreover, treat his Grace as a great ninny, if his Grace were to say, " Oh, I cannot take these measures now, I do not know what will be the amount of my tailor's bill. My Duchess is gone abroad, and she may yet draw for 1,0001. more than I expect, and my bailiff may expend 1001. more on improvements than I contemplate. No; T must wait to see the whole amount of all the de mands which may possibly be made on me, be fore I can take any steps, except to borrow more money." Now, that which would be folly in an indi vidual can hardly be wisdom in a Statesman. Our cramped trade, may well be compared to idle quarries and unworlced collieries—our boun ties on slovenly cultivation is a mismanaged farm—our various exorbitant discriminating duties which may be easily removed, are great masses of timber which may be immediately cut down ;. but neither these nor any other thing will Sir R. PEEL do till he has ascertained what will be the extent of the demands on ac count of China and the Colonies. Well did Lord PALMERSTON observe, if the Right Hon. Baronet waited for the accounts from China, he could bring forward no Budget till 184'2, and if he waited till all his colonial Governors were so well drilled as never to draw an unanticipated bill, the Right Hon. Baronet would not propose any measures before the end, not of the next Session, but of the next Parliament. Yet these neaseries of Sir ROBERT PEEL— the arguments which, uttered by a private individual, he would treat with scorn, were loudly cheered by the Tories. Every one of them told on the back benches, and Sir ROBERT ivas praised by them for avowing conduct as a statesman, which, were Lei a private individual, they would say, " Re commend him to, the care of his friends." It seems that the old Banking-house of HOB HOUSE; at Bath, has stopped; it appears, too, by the account of the proceedings of the Bank of England, at the quarterly meeting the day before yesterday, that the Bank of England has been very prosperous this last half-year. It declared a dividend of thrce-and-a-half per cent. per annum, and at the siLme time added a considerable sum to the rest. Whatever beilds the rest of the community, and whatever befals oilier joint-stock and private LAnks, the Bank of England flourishes. Like the landlords, it seems to thrive as the people starve. Gratitude is the national virtue of Ireland, and :he magnificent display of it made by the six lundred noblemen and gentlemen who on Tues- day last were present at the national entertain ment given to Lord MORPETIT in Dublin, is as ere- ditable to that country as it is honourable to the distinguished nobleman who was the object of it. Fei,v people feel more keenly than the Irish; nor are they quicker to resent wrongs, than to ap preciate, with all the warmth of which they are cent. per cent. in the course of twenty years to the wealth of Ireland, What tht. Noble Lord was prevented from doing to improve the repre sentation of Ireland, has more than once been described by Lord STANLEY and his friends when seeking in the House of Commons to disfranchise the sister king dom. Nor are the measures which we have enu merated all that Lord MORPETH wished to ac complish for Ireland. We know that there were others which the Noble Lord was prevented by his colleagues from bringing forward, because they were sensible, not that the measures were not good and requisite, but that as a Government it would be in vain for them to think of carrying them, and that their agitation would but increase the popular discontent. We have not space here to enter into any ex amination of the speech of the Noble Lord, at the banquet alluded to, which will be found in another column. The proceedings at the meet ing may, however, convince the Tories that in attempting to govern Ireland after their usual fashion they will encounter difficulties for which they are but little prepared. That it may not be suspected that any O'CONNELL partiality ap pears in the Report, we have taken the bulk of it, with some slight curtailment, from the Dublin Evening Mail—the official organ of the Orangemen of Ireland. The report, therefore— if a partial one—does not sin on the Liberal side, and may, on that account, be regarded as cor rect by the Tories. The burst of execration with which Lord STANLEY'S name was received was not less significant of Irish feeling, than the nine rounds of applause which followed the cup quaffed to the health of Lord MORPETH. • T.P 'LP !i tll2 Alk r -A4 AND #1.1&0.)Iir Opinion. " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. The Levant Mail has arrived, bringing adviees from -Alexandria of the 26th, Constantinople of the 28th, Smyrna of the 30th, Athens of the 31st ult., and Malta of the sth instant. The news is not important. Lord Ponsonby was to leave Constantinople in about a fortnight, to the joy of the Turks and the Russians, his allies and friends. Few men in such a station were ever so unpopular with those with whOm they were acting. On the 27th ult. the Sultan and all the Foreign Minis ters were present at a review of 6.000 Turkish troops drilled after the European fashion. It was the first re view attended by the Sultan since 1831. The Austrian Internuncio congratulated his Highness in the name of the diplomatic body on the soldierly appearance of the troops. _ Austria has united with France in demanding from the Porte the recal of British officers from Syria. The Sultan has complied with the wishes of these Powers, and orders for the officers to leave that country have been given. France was jealous of the influence acquired by these officers among the tribes of the mountains, who began to regard them as their principal protectors. The Porte has fixed the tribute of the mountaineers of Syria at 3,500 purses, or 17,0001. sterling. This tribute is to be both fixed by the different villages, and collected by themselves. The evils complained of in the opera tion of the commercial treaties, which are to extend to Syria, are to be carefully inquired into and remedied. The state of Egypt is satisfactory. Mehemet Ali allows the Fellahs one-fourth of the produce of their lands. Ibrahim Pacha grants a third to those who oc cupy his domains. Yhe Bey of Tunis is to escape fur the present On vengeance of the Porte. Askar, Paella of Tripoli, has incurred the displeasure of the Sultan by his cruelty towards British subjects. From France and Spain we have no political news apart of the already threadbare affair of the attempted assassination of the Duke d'Aumale. We call the attention of our readers to the brief account of the great meeting held at Man chester on Thursday. We learn from various sources that it was the most decisive demonstra tion ever made in that populous, wealthy, and influential town, and that, with very few excep tions, the united inhabitants call upon Parliament to take their great and increasing distresses into immediate consideration. The cold an nouncement of Sir ROBERT PEEL last evening will add fuel to the flame. Every independent city and town throughout the country will imitate the example, and demand as a right that the men who have forced the Free Trade Government prematurely out of office shall not mock a starving people by idle words and selfish delay. Now is the time for action. If the people do their duty the Tory Cabinet must obey them. The Tories have yielded often, and they shall yield again. PARMIAMENTI32,2% Mr. Martin, in the Hotise of Commons last night, gave notice of a tnotion for an address to put down privateering. On Sir Robert Peel moving the House into a Commit tee of Supply, Lord John Russell objected at consider able length to the policy of the new Ministers, particu larly in not making known their plans as to the Corn laws. Sir Robert Peel defended his own conduct by finding fault with the conduct of his predecessors, and seemed to think that he was exonerated for not proposing an alteration in the Corn-laws, because the late Ministers had not done it for five years.. Lord Palmerston happily exposed several of Sir Ro - bert's mistakes. The debate which ensued was animated by the bold and emphatic language of the free traders and the nettled retorts of Lord Sandon and an unknown county representative. It was shared by several Members and lasted the whole evening. Lord John Russell made no motion, he only made a speech. Mr. Fielden moved a resolution, setting forth the distress of the manufacturers, and declaring that Parliament ought not to be prorogued without inquiring into it. His motion was negatived by 149 to 41. The House went into a Committee of Supply, and agreed to several votes. It was then adjourned. The ordinary French Journals of Wednesday have arrived. Punlac OPINXON. The Morning Post calls upon the " tyrant majority " to laugh down Lord John Russell this evening when he urges the Government to take steps without delay to re lieve the alarming distresses of the people. Was lan guage so atrocious as this ever used by any Radical print, or even by any of the heartless nobles and im moral priests of France, at the outbreak of the Revolu tion ? These are the words of our Contemporary, who prides himself on being the representative of the gentler sex in the' high walks of civilised life :—" We perceive by our report of what took place last night in the House of Commons, that Lord John Russell intend; to make a speech to-night. But we fear' we must infer, from the lan guage of the Noble Lord, that he does not intend to con clude his threatened speech with any motion which he will venture to submit to the test of a division. This is matter of regret. We should like to see Lord John taking the sense of the House of Commons upon a mo tion in unison with the notice he gave last night, so far as that notice is intelligible. • It is pretty clear, however, that the leader of the Opposition will not do so, unless he should find that Ministerial Members, from overween ing confidence in the strength of their own party, should have overlooked the constant necessity of watching the manouvres of the outs, and, by their absence have given Lord John a chance of dividing without incurring the ridicule of the country.E very supporter of Sir RlPeel's Go— vernment who has not a pair ought to be present to-night, if it were only to show Lord J. Russell how insignificant a person he is, and of how insignificant a party he is now the leader. Upon the merits of the question which the Opposition leader means to submit to the House to-night, it is unnecessary that we should say a single word. He is' to find fault with the Members of her Majesty's Government, and with their distinguished leader, for that they having been in office something less than a fortnight, during which time they have had to obtain the renewal of their representative characters as Mem bers of the House of Commons by an appeal to the suffrages of their constituents, are not prepared now during a necessarily short Session of Parliament to bring forward permanent measures of domestic policy, upon which it took Lord John Russell and his colleagues eleven years to make up their minds—if any body is generous enough, to pay them the gratuitous compli ment of supposing that they ever made up their minds at all. We expect that Lord John will be laughed down to night, as any person exhibiting the effrontery of which he has given notice, ought certainly to be, in an assembly of respectable and intelligent men. The Morning Chronicle has the following remarks on the same fearful subject :—" The manufacturing districts are all in motion to prevent the prorogation of Parlia ment until some measure shall have been adopted for relieving the distressed state of trade. We find by the communication of our Birmingham Correspondent that a requisition to the Mayor to memorialise the Queen not to prorogue Parliament has been signed by man y o f t h e most respectable and influential merchants and manu facturers in that town. There, as in every other manu facturing town, the worst consequences are anticipated from the indifference to the distrevses of the people, implied in the abrupt prorogation of. Parliament. At Walsall a numerous meeting was held on Wednesday, at which a petition to her Majesty was agreed on, praying her not to prorogue Parliament till both Houses shall discuss the free trade recommendations in the Royal Speech, and especially the foreign trade in corn. Upwards of one hundred signatures were yesterday at tached to a requisition for a meeting of the great ward of Farringdon Without, to prevent the prorogation. These are but the precursors of the coming storm. Sir Robert Peel will find that millions of starving people are not to be trifled with. It may suit his convenience, and gratify the inclinations of his followers, to postpone till the spring the consideration of the measures to which the people look for their salvation, but dearly will he purchase the convenience. The capital of the manufac turers is rapidly disappearing.. Their "all drags down one banker after another; and the people, without em ployment and without food, are to be deprived also of hope! As Mirabeau said, when a national bankruptcy was mooted, the yawning gulf will be filled up. Let the millions be true only to themselves, and he must abandon his intention." The Moniteur contains the following:—"By an ordon nance of the 9th instant, the King has appointed the Count de Sainte Aulare Ambassador Extraordinary to her Britannic Majesty; the Count de Flahaut, Ambassa dor to the Emperor of Austria, King of Hungary and Bohemia; and M. de Salvandy Ambassador to the Queen of Spain." The Count de St. Aulaire has already set off. The 7 emps says :—" Marshal Soult has returned from Meudon to reside for the moment at the Ministry of War. The Duke d'Aumale and Lieutenant-Colonel Levaillant left by the Garden of the Tuileries, in uni form, and on foot, arm in arm, to pay a visit to the Marshal yesterday morning." Of the miscreant PAPPARD we find the sub joined account in the Gazette des Tribunaux : Pappart, who is only twent y -seven years of age, has already undergone more than four years' imprisonment for various offences, and, therefore, it is highly impro bable that he has served the usual period either in the 17th or any other regiment. In 1834, Pappart, who is called the Albinos, from the whiteness of his hair, eye lashes, and brows, received his first sentence of confine ment for a robbery at Sarlat, in the Dordogne, and again for a similar offence, being detained in all five years in prisOn. He did not come to Paris till 1839, and was ent ployed by . several masters by all of whom he was re marked tor his extreme irascibility and brutality. During a quarrel in a public-house, at Bercy, he wounded a man with a knife, and suffered in conse quence another imprisonment. The woman with whom he lived, and who has a child by him three months old, had suffered so much from his violence that, when she heard of his arrest and its cause, she said, am sorry for the Duke d'Aumale if he is wounded, but I shall at last get rid of this wretch.' The preliminary examina tions are going on. Yesterday, Baron Pasquier and the Duke Decazes went to the Conciergerie, and remained more than an hour." The National publishes a letter from Clermont, of the 12th inst., in which it is asserted that the rioters having, in the affair of the 9th, thrown stones at the troops, a squadron of dragoons, which had received . orders to charge, sheathed their swords; but that the voltigeurs of the 16th Light Infantry, on the order of a Commissary of Police, fired upon a crowd, in a great measure com posed of women and children, and that three of the per sons on whom they fired were shot dead. The Morning Advertiser animadverts in , the same strain to this wretched and wicked attempt to put off the evil day:—",Now, therefore, is the moment for the people to support the late leader of the House of Commons. He. calls for immediate attention to their claims ; let that call be supported by addresses to the Throne from every city, town, parish, and borough in the kingdom, praying her Majesty not to prorogue•Parliainent till the complaints and sufferings of the people receive the due consideration of the Legislature. When Sir Robert al leges that he has not made up his mind on such subjects as the Corn-laws, the Poor-laws, the Factory-laws, and the means of providing for the financial wants of the State, he at once acknowledges his incapacity as Premier? A little while since he refused to prescribe until regularly called in, and now that `he is called in, he delays the ex pression of his opinion on the plea of not having made up his mind. Quackery itself could not require a more perfect illustration. Let any impartial man answer to himself the simple question: —;ls the man wh o h as not yet made up his mi n d on the Corn-laws, the Poor Laws, the Factory Question, or the mode of providing for surplus expenditure, fit to be the Premier of Englund?' Sir Robert must have come to some conclusions on these subjects, ana his silence can proceed only from the fear of the storm of indignation which he knows the expres sion of his opinions must excite. By postponing his day of trial till February, he merely, like a conscious crimi nal, speculates on the theory of chances. It is now for the people to exert themselves against the possibility of their rights and interests being at that time made thoroughly subject to the oligarchic dictation which the Peel Ministry is about to prepare for them." The Herald describes the plan of the Premier as ab solute wisdom :—" Sir Robert Peel has realised our ex pectations. He has acted as a wise and prudent Minis ter ought to act. To have rushed on the consideration of all those great topics of excitement raised by the Whigs to save themselves from the indignation of the country, without due consideration as a Government, would have been the most unwise and foolish expedient his Administration could have adopted. Sir Robert Peel and his colleagues are in power because the nation confides in their ability and integrity ; but haste and precipitation on their part would have shaken that con fidence. They have saved the empire from the curse of Whig legislation ; that is ample service for one session. The Times, though not so heartless as the Post, ap proves of the dilatory course proposed by Sir Robert Peel not, however, w thout evident misgivings as to its consequences. The s neers i n t ers persed throughout its r mark refers to a speech made by Mr. Macauley,in which he described the deplorable condition of the country when the Tories fled from-office in 1830. "Let the British nation read the statesman-like declaration of his future policy which Sir R. Peel has of late frequently made, and never more cautiously and prudently than last night, and decide how far this portion of the pre diction is in progress of completion. But he went on, filled with the present God,' and' predicted, that they would return to a situation, in which they could stand only by crushing and trampling down public opinion,'— they, who have been returned by the omnipotent force of public opinion, which has been at •once the cause of their success, and is, thank God, the reward of their victory. And the second-sighted seer concluded his awful denunciations—never were words more full of I ad —by declaring, that if they fell from that situation, they might in their fall drag down the whole frame of THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER IP, 1841. society.' What mischief they may thus accomplish is beyond our power, for we were born south of the Tweed, to divine ; but it is a consolation for us to know at pre sent, that the fundholders are not yet in dismay —the peasantry are not yet in insurrection—and our. most fer tile counties are not yet lighted up with the fires of in cendiaries.' Whether the lovers of license and enemies of order may not deem it necessary to have those fires re-lighted, with a view of getting up the steam' against the present monopolists' of power, is a ques tion on which some doubt may be entertained by those who look to the recent proceedings at Manchester, and to the threatened proceedings at Southwark and other populous places. But, though there may be room for doubt, there is none for ap prehension, much less for dismay. The groat bulk of our population is too thoroughly imbued with the con viction that liberty is peace, that liberty is order, to be seduced into acts of outrage by self-seeking professors of patriotism, who proclaim in our market-places, like Jack Cade and his rable rout, that there shall be in Envland seven halfpenny loaves sold for a penny.' But if by any turn in public affairs, which it is impossible at present to anticipate, the . evils of insubordination and anarchy should appear to threaten the country, it is en couraging to reflect that we have statesmen now at the helm who know how to protect and how to defend our beloved Sovereign, and all the time-hallowed institutions of the land, against the desperate assaults of their reck less violence." The Kent Herald urges that, if the Liberals do not bring forward an opposing candidate to Sir Edward Knatchbull, of which at present there is only a rumour, list they will nevertheless not fail to attend the nomina tion and require from the would-be representative of Kent on what principles the Government, of which he is a Member, proposes to rule the country. It will be worth while to witness the Paymaster wincing from the test. We hope he will he asked whether Ministers pro pose to adhere to the sliding scale and the present rate of " protection" to agriculture, or will follow on the doc trines of free tram commenced by Huskisson under a Peel and Wellington Administration. He must be asked too what will the Tories do with the New Poor-law ? Will they mitigate its severity, and by consequence in crease the Poor-rates which fall mainly on the land oc cupier, or will they, now they are in office, uphold that which in opposition they, for a factious purpose de nounced ? An inquiry may also be made as to the mode in which the Right Honourable Paymaster, the great op ponent of Catholic Emancipation, proposes to deal with the Emancipated Catholics. Will he act on his own Anti-Catholic opinions, or succumb to Sir Robert, the emancipator, whom he formerly opposed ? Will he, the professed champion of the Church,, act cordially in unison with Lord Stanley, the demolisher of ten I r ish Protestant Bishoprics ? Will his answers satisfy his clerical friends in East Kent ? In short there is no limit to the torture which the applied question might put him to. COIV/111.7jRCIA.Xe Emronnx.

MISCEZZAT.JECEITS. On Monday an inquest was held at the Brown Jug Inn, between Ramsgate and Broadstairs, on the body of E. Williams, found dead cn the strand, his head deeply emlmlded in the sand under one of the steep cliffs. It appeared that the deceased in wandering from Broad stairs towards Ramsgate, late at night, had fallen over the cliff, which is about forty feet high, and fractured the vertebrze of his neck. The bad accommodation of the City Law Courts for the Judges, barristers, &c., has been reported upon by the Committee appointed some time since for the inves tigation. A new Court will now be built between the present Court of Queen's Bench and the Court of Com mon Pleas, and these two old ones re -constructed under a new system of ventilation.

The failure of Hohhouse at Bath, though the subject of regret and conversation, has still not created any very uneasy feeling in the City. It appears now pretty cer tain that all the banks not perfectly sound have had too severe a trial by failures and derangements in the mer cantile world to stand their ground. We have much pleasure in stating that during the last feiv days the wholesale Manchester houses in the City have been much busier than for some time past. • This applies both to the home demand and that for shipping.

ROGUE PARLIAMENT UNTIL THE CORN. LAWS HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED. EXTRACT FROM A PRIVATE LETTER RECEIVED YESTERDAY MANCHESTER, THURSDAY. The meeting to-day went off in glorious style, the Town-hall was crammed to sufibcation, and quite unanimous. The Tories issued circulars yesterday to all the voters in their interest, call ing on them to attend and oppose the proceed ings, as the meeting was called for unconstitu tional objects, and only got up to annoy Sir Robert Peel. But the great body of the Tories here are as much opposed to the Corn-laws as the Radicals are themselves, and they did not answer to the whip of their leaders. The Char tists were also plied with the usual substantial arguments, but they refused to join in obstruct ing a meeting, called for the purpose of giving bread and employment to the starving operatives. The result of all the efforts of the Tories was, that when Mr. G. Clarke (the Chairman of Sir George Murray's Election Committee) attempted to propose an amendment, the meeting refused to hear him, and no seconder had the courage to make his appearance. When the Memorial to the Queen was put to the meeting by the Mayor, only two hands were held 'up against it —one of them belonging to the said Mr. ,Clarke, and the other to that well-known politician, Mr. Flintoff. Whatever falsehood the Tories may invent to cover their discomfiture, I assure you I never saw so numerous, so respectable, and so enthusi astic a meeting. Manchester may he said to be united as one man against the bread-tax. The Memorial to the Queen will go off this evening to the care of Mr. Mark Philips. THE RE-ELECTIONS. SUNDERLAND. SUNDERLAND, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 15.—The nomina tion took place this day. The Mayor, Rowland White, Esq., acted as returning officer. WALKER FEATHERSTONHAUGH, Esq., proposed Lord Howick, and the nomination was seconded by M. H. CLAYTON, Esq. Dr. MILLER proposed Wolverley Attwood, Esq.. and his nomination was seconded by R. SCARFIELD, Esq., one of the shipowners in the borough. The -speeches of the proposers and seconders were inaudible, in conse quence of the tumult which prevailed. Mr. WILLIAM MOWATT, a Chartist, and Mr. ALFRED CARLISLE, another Chartist, proposed and seconded Co-' lonel Peyronnet Thompson. Lord HowicK then stepped to the front of the hust ings. His Lordship proceeded to say that the great dif ference of political opinions between Mr. Attwood and himself might be resolved into two points. They dif fered, first, as regarded the commercial policy of the em pire ; and, next, as to the degree of confidence which it was necessary to repose in those who had recently as sumed the reins of power. With respect to commercial policy, Mr. Attwood had avowed himself what he called the friend of protection to home industry. He (Lord Howick), on the contrary, appeared before them as the advocate for the removal of restrictions on trade.— (Hear, and cheers.) . He appeared before them to con tend that, what was termed protection, to British in dustry- was, in the. sense in which it was used, a great delusion. There was one protection, and one only, which British industry required. Britain required that every man should be protected in the produce of his own labour—(hear, and cheers)—that he should not be liable to be deprived of the fruits of his industry by open violence or secret fraud, and that he should not be liable to extremes of any description, and that was the true and onlyprotection which British industry required. All the duties said to be for the protection of British industry were neither more nor less than taxes in dis guise. They were taxes not the less onerous because they did not brine. money into the Exchequer. These duties were all bad in principle, and he thought that Cus tom-house duties ought not to be imposed for the purpose of raising revenue, and that there was no justification for refusing to the people of England the liberty to purchase what they required wherever they could get it. But although he was the advocate of the general prin ciple, he would, as he had. always wished to do, proceed with cautious steps. --(Hear, and cheers.) Mr. Atwood had told them that their views were theoretical. Now, he (Lord Howick) said, that instead of having anything to do with theory, they were founded in the simple dictates of common sense and experience. Ile had had proofs of the distress which existed in Sunderland ; and the same distress existed in all the great commercial and manufacturing towns. He asked them, what remedy was to be provided for this state of things ? The only and obvious remedy was to give increased facilities for exchanging the produce of this country for the pro duce of other countries. With America our trade was languishing, because they could not pay for our produce unless in produce of their own. The French market was also shut to British industry, because both nations had foolish protection tariffs. Were pro per steps taken, the exports from this country to France in iron and coals alone would more than equal the whole of the present exports. But more than this—the treaty with the Brazils was about expiring, and the market in that country would be destroyed if relaxations were not made in our restrictive system. Unless, then, they were allowed to send goods in return, our trade with fo reigners must cease. All indirect taxes were naturally affected by th e. pr i ce o f bread.—(llear They were aware that of late years they had had a filling re venue, and that was owing, in a_great measure,i the totth p the ef fect of the pr e sent Corn-laws.—(Hear.) u 7ing pre sent autumn about lowest duty of pe 2,000,000 ofquarterus of wheat ar h te a r d . been imported atthe asifitlsarefimthpeoertetuttrnpbeynddeedtilatioldidneg-. an core e export b ae o ni f hnucg, b fna i ce i bullion, t i itorhneee,:ds i a ffi, t i e ,ch d ui for by a regular demand fur TI consequent upon the demand for i g s e a tli d e monetary aall other had overrun the com p l s ti e es xp w o h r i t c o h f t ß ra ri d t e is , h an rn d country.—(Cheers.)

Had the fixed duty been adopted, the gain to the revenue would have been the former sum. By the present plan, the ac cess to the revenue was only the latter.—(Cheers.) He now came to the second point on which Mr. Attwood and he differed—as to the degree of confidence to be placed in the present Ministry. It appeared to him, looking to Sir Robert Peel's past conduct as a Minister and as a statesman, that he had given no evi dence of possessing that foresight or that discri minating judgment, which, above all other qualities, were requisite in a leader of the Government. But, above all, he (Lord Howick) withheld from Sir Robert Peel his confidence, because he had avowedly taken his stand on the principle of a fluctuating duty on corn, and because he had included in his list of colleagues persons whom it was impossible that he (Lord Howick) could re gard otherwise than with feelings of distrust.--(Loud MORNING ST) N Lheers.)
