*RN ING EDITION SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS PROM THE DAILY PAPERS Or YESTERDAY. CHRONICLE.—The debate on the sugar duties is again adjourned. The monopolists, who, as long as they thought they could deceive th e p eo pl e i n t o a high notion of their hu manity, were all eager for display, begin now to shrink from discussion. One fact cannot fail to strike our readers. Sir Edward Knatchbull, who moved the adjournment on Friday night, and who ought to have opened the debate last night, refused to speak at the commencement of the debate ! The monopolists are afraid of discussing the question, and Sir Ed ward Knatchbull of committing himself on the Corn-laws, which the Duke of Buckingham suspects Sir Robert Peel of an intention to upset. Sir George Clerk prevented Sir Ed war4 Knatchbull from speaking, as they were afraid of a se con edition of his nusquam tuta fides, which Sir Robert Peel has not forgot, any more than the old uncompromising Tories. What a combination: It was remarked last night that Mr. Muntz, who uttered many a proposition which set all consist ency at defiance, was loudly cheered by Sir Robert Peel, on those occasions when his friends were in the greatest pain on his account. TIMES.—The tactics of the Ministerial party are now be eoming apparent. Rumours were current early in last week of a determination on the part of Ministers to prolong the debate till Friday at the latest, for which various unsatis factory reasons were assigned; and when Friday came, it turned out that her Majesty had a ball for that evening, which made a division impossible, and then a further adjourn . ment took place till Monday. On Monday, her Majesty had a concert ; and Lord John Russell was seized with a new and disinterested anxiety that el the Members who represent great constituences should have an opportunity reserved to them of expressing their sentiments, which for eight long nights, it seems, they have sought in vain. So long as there re mains any single Member desirous of spouting out weari some commonplaces on a subject which he does not uoderstand, the Noble Secretary will certainly take no " steps to hasten a division." Many and great have been the questions agitated within the walls of Parliament since Lord John Russell has been a Minister of State—Parliamentary Reform, Corporation Reform, Church Reform, Slave Emancipation, Tithe Commutation, Church Ap propriation and Spoliation—Corn-l aws Ballot, Irish Coercion, Irishjite,gistration—question s about Spoliation—Corn-laws, about Jamaica, about China —many a disappointed Member there has been on all those occasions, who came down to the House with a speech in his pocket which he never found the opportunity of deliver ing. But we never heard, on any of these questions, that I s ord John Russell displayed any peculiar tenderness of consi • deration for would-be orators. What, then, we are to judge on the present occasion ? Plainly, that Ministers and their partisans are speaking against time ; every man of straw whose voice they can command is set up to prolong the debate, and all the arts and appliances which Court favour places at their .. disposal are put in requisition to facilitate the tedious manoeuvre. Under such circumstances, the course which the Conservatives must pursue is obvious. They have no reason to fear the event of a dissolution, come when it may, or whatever . may be the slap-trap on which Ministers may rely for success. The ludicrous failure of the agitation hitherto attempted, and the unmitigated contempt displayed for the Anti-Corn-law humbug and its authors by the working classes throughout Britain, at Edinburgh, in London, at Not tingham, and at S un d e rl an d, may well inspire them with un wavering confidence if they will only be true to the people and to themselves. But it is of importance that the country should understand the nature of the Whig game beyond the possibility of a mistake. Sir Robert Peel will speak this even ing ; after which, whatever may be the multitude of Ministe rial speeches, either upon the present question, or upon the amendment of which Lord John Russell has given notice, we trust no single Conservative will offer to address the House. Let it be made apparent to every man, that the Whigs, and the Whigs only, desire to obstruct the course of public business for the purposes of faction—let them have both the talking and • the credit of it all to themselves. AD V ERTISER.—There is a party among the Tories who think that the debate on the sugar question has been conducted • • by the Opposition on " wrong principles." In their secret souls they deride the hypocrisy and humbug humanity of their leaders, and take their ground upon a general view of our old colonial and maritime system. What the Buckinghams and the Inglises are to the corn and Church section, this remnant of the old West India interest, typified by the Goulburns and Gladstones, is to the present sugar monopolists. It is a pity, for • the sake of all concerned, that the question had not been argued upon this ground, were it only for the purpose of demonstrating the uiitenableness of our present course of conduct towards the other nations of the world, which is, in fact, nothing more than • a state of perpetual commercial hostility, and that, too, in the speere c-f men's most important interests, viz., their material ones. There was a time when our West India trade was re garded even by such authorities as Lord Nelson, as the great nursery of our seamen, and the cradle of our maritime su periority—a time when our Colonies were looked upon as the only necessary outlets for our manufactures, when the carrying trade and the 'unreserved supply of the whole Con tinental markets were enjoyed solely and exclusively by the merchants of Great Britain. This was an age of gold to England, but an age of iron to Europe. It passed away with the military reign of Napoleon, and left England unable to contract within the limits of her colonies the com merce which had expanded to such a vast extent, because her foreign markets had become indispensable to the existence of a surplus population, which that expansion had created. The theory of these Tories, namely, that an empire, self-sufficing. in all respects, in consumption and demand, by means of its home trade and colonial dependencies, forming one entire and perfect " chrysolite," can be maintained in the present state of England and the world, is perfectly impracticable and visionary, whatever it might have been at one time. These Tories are forty or fifty years too late with their principle. We depend for our existence upon our foreign trade, and this foreign trade, and the millions who live by it, must be sacrificed ere we can recur to the system they desire— we must recur to the happy feudal state ardently longed for by the Quarterly Review, and pass the ploughshare over Man chester and London. If this perfect state of accord between all the parts of the empire has not been attained, the Tories have themselves principally to blame. It is not impossible that Eugland might base been so governed as to have formed a vast empire all-sufficing in itself, finding in its transatlantic and other colonies markets large enough for the utmost energies of its home population. Had George 111. so governed the American plantations as to have avoided the war of inde pendence, we might have depended upon the mutual help of the whole Anglo-Saxon race, wherever situated or belonging. At all events, our hold upon them would have been stronger than our present commercial relations were proved to be at the time of our boundary disputes. But Diis aliter visum. Nor is that the only instance in which great national advan tages have been lost by their blinded policy. With regard to this very sugar question itself, had the Tories, in 1816, at the Congress of Vienna, when Lord Castlereagh had only to ask to obtain every concession from the Sovereigns of Europe, only thought of demanding the Islands of Cuba and Java, the slave trade would never have attained its present height, nor the supply of sugar ever have failed to the pre sent extent. The supremacy of the seas and the monopoly of trade were, however, never willingly conceded by the rest of Europe to Great Britain. The Navigation Laws placed Holland, the Netherlands, and Germany, virtually without the pale of the commercial world, so far as it depended on U 3; yet, in 1667, in the Treaty of Breda, the States-General forced Charles 11. to undertake to procure their repeal. In 1787, the American Legislature passed a retaliatory Act against us, which forced us to make concessions. The Northern Powers threatened the same. Again we were forced to give way. -In -1815, more concessions were made to the United States. In 1822, Prussia, by an order in Council, struck a retaliatory blow at us which was found most effective against British shipping. Mr. Huskisson remonstrated. The Prussians replied, n Our shipowners are going to ruin—you have set us the example. hitherto we have confined the in crease of our port and tonnage charges to ships only ; b u t i t i s the intention of our Gov ernment 'next year to imitate your example still more closely, by imposing discriminatory duties on the goods imported in your ships." Once more we were obliged to give way. Finally, the Tories were forced to concede reciprocity treaties to one and all of the European Powers. But all the boons that were thus conceded have been found by these nations to be trifling and insignificant compared with what remains. The onward movement had been proceeding with increased power and Velocity, until what the Tories refused in 1n29, they cannot withhold in 1841. If Europe was tee powerful for them in 1829 to resist, shad its just demands be less powerful now ? How can they blaiee - the Whigs for yielding in 1841 to what they could net deny twelve years before ? Do they think the world has (X)d still since that time ? Or do they suppose the ques , tion,ol the abandonm en t o f t h e corn monopoly has been fel , getters by the rest of the world, or our own famishing millions? When does hunger sleep? Well aid the Anti-Corn-law Dele gates declare, on the last defeat of Mr. Villier's motion, that they retiree for that time—bnt only like the waves of the ocean, " More auful to return." Well vl ill it be for the monopolists to be wise in time. GLOBE.—The Times complains of the prolongation of the debate as a Ministerial manoeuvre. To this we may remark, firstly, that the debate will of course be prolonged se long as Sir Robert Peel declines speaking ; and secondly, that Sir B e Knatchbull himself moved the adjournment on Friday' at a quarter before twelve, and refused to open the resumed debate last night, on the pretext that, " as the debate was already ex hacsted, he did not think it necessary to trouble the House with his sentiments on the subject, the more particularly as it had been intimated that there were a dozen gentlemen on the other side who wished to speak. Now, unless the Hon. Baro net wished to get possession of the House for the purpose of making a speech, there was no good reason for having moved the adjournment at so early an hour, when there was time enough to continue the debate on Friday. The natural inference is, either that he was not so anxious as the Times is on behalf of his party,• that the debatet dto sd s e heuldllee c nde i d s an early period, or that having intended en Cornelaws, heeal h was dissuaded nd from doing on the question of - th doine so, lest his present friend (and former enemy) Si r R. o Peel might be inconvenienced by explicit statements of the duty of the Conservative p fact is, the Duke of Buckin- gahrtay at the pre s ent moment. Th e ni and his party much mistr us t Peel ; and the greatest exertions have been employed to uzzle 'their 4 tbo Tory agriculturists, anclooax them to postpone -oft-repeated pledges to their c onstituents, for the t om _ porary avoidance of embarrassment to their party. That dis like and apprehension of the continuance of the debate should be expressed by the Opposition organs, tinder these circum • stances, we cannot wonder. The public, however, will not be -apt to participate in this prudent impatience. They will be apt to- think that, however inconvenient to party, it is hi g hly_ • important to public i n t ere st s , in the present position of affairs, that the opinions of Sir Robert Peel, and of his followers, should, if possible, be ascertained. STANDARD.—Last night witnessed the seventh ad journment of the debate on Lord Sandon's resolution. This procrastination of a debate is, we believe, without precedent, we at least remember no precedent. Neither in the discussion • of the Roman Catholic Bill in 18 0 9, nor in any stage of the Reform Bill, though both were revolutions, was so much • time consumed; but Ministers have, if not fairly, it must be owned, impudently confessed that the ad journments are not designed to procure a full investi gation of the question before Parliament, but to obtain an interval in which they way try to inflame the country up to that point when they can venture upon a dissolution with some prospect of success. On Friday it was arranged that the Hone should divide ; the same arrangement was repeated yes terday, and Mr C. Wynn alluded to the circumstance upon tee sitting of the House, nhile Sir E. Knatchbull, who was in pos session of the chair, waived his right of speaking, in ord er th at h e might not obstruct the termination of the debate. Lord J. Rus sell, however, t hen announced, that he had ta.elve orfourteen men --ready to consume the public time, arid these creatures " r ee d for powder, fit to fill a let as well as better men," were „ cord. itegiv'peraded, twelve of them, it is observed by the Times, spoke consecutively, no Conservative speaker interposing Of . fuels • a night's work it would be an absurdity, and trespass upon public pitience, second in insolence only to that of which the parties concerned were guilty, t o offer- any attract or analysis. Who cares for the speeches of the Roche:and the Halls—the Gyases and the Cloamheses? Who ever thought of investigating the contents of sand-bags thrown into a stride?. -The question before the House of Com the" has been ' l ' i ntaustterstood and decided by the people —it Ir traits : -are we justifi e d ,in __ promoting crimes of the deepest dye, for the sake of a profit in tradin with the criminals ? COURIER.—Lord Clarendon was vastly indignant yester day, we see, at the imputation that Ministers hired agents to peramb u l a t e th e country and spout against the Corn-laws. 1 -Tis denial o f th e f ac t w as strongenough in language, and so r as he himself is concerned, orlikely to be in the secret, we are bound to give him all credit for sincerity. But we may re, mind his Lordship that his position in the Cabinet is much too insignificant and devoid of importance to warrant the supposition that he should be let into all the mysteries of trea sury craft, and we should rather conclude that such more im portant persons as Mr. Underling Secretary Stanley are likely to be infinitely better versed in the little intrigues out of door of his party—the heads of which, naturally enough perhaps, consider that the Lord Privy Seal should only be too thapkfu to take his salary, " eat, drink, and be merry," without being troubled with any work more dirty and unbecoming than an occasional set harangue of free trade and liberal policy common places. It might, however, have occurred to his Lordship that the same management under which the speeches of Lord John Russell, Mr. Labouchere, and the Chan cellor of the Exchequer are being circulated in pamphlet form throughout the country by tens of thousands, cost free to the receivers, although not to the Treasury, might also provide funds for itinerant lecturers and Anti-Corn-law agitators—with out the necessity of his cognizance in the one case as in the other. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. POST.—Business was again languid at the Stock Ex change, the quotations generally for the English market, and, we might add, for the foreign as well, continuing much the same as on Saturday. A good deal of speculation and conjec ture were indulged in with regard to the probable composition of the future Ministry, it being assumed as certain, and this very naturally, that the Melbourne party will be unable to resist the consequences of the approaching vote. Sir Robert Peel is of course looked to as the Statesman most likely to be charged with its formation ; but the Duke of Richmond, notwithstand ing his well-known bias in favour of the existing Corn -laws, has been named as a Nobleman to whom the Queen may pos sibly have recourse in the present emergency. A coalition be tween Sir Robert Peel and some of the men now in power has also been talked of, as among the projects under consideration. We refrain, however, from pointing out the individuals with whom it was said Sir Robert would, perhaps, be called upon to act. This sort of idle gossip seems, for the moment, to have completely superseded the ordinary business of the day. CHRONICLE.—We have had some buyers in the Market to-day, which has made the Funds a shade better. These gen tlemen of the Bull species are understood to have been sent forward as " puffers," or " family flappers, by the Tories, to give prices a start, upon the rumour, which has been again ra - ,ther rife to-day, that the Government would resign upon being in a minority on the motion of Lord Sandon. Some of the people in the house" have certainly got it in their heads that the possible accession of the " Tutzs' OwN" to office would be rather favourable to the funds ; and we have lately stated rea sons why such would probably be the immediate result. In the first flush of power their influence with many capitalists would nduce these people to make great exertions to prop up the funds to give a show of popularity, and, for a short period, pro bably with partial success; but the advance could not be great nor permanent, and would be followed, under existing circum stances, by a re-action of a very different and determined character. LOSS OF THE WILL BROWN, ( From the Havre Gazette.) The English and American Consuls have addressed to us the following letter, which establishes in their true light the la mentable occurrences which followed the wreck of the William Brown. The result is, that the frightful necessity of sacri ficing part of the passengers for the safety of the rest, is fully proved. In face of this conviction in the minds of the honour able representatives of the two nations interested in the ques tion, every injurious reflection ought to cease, and nothing re. mains but to deplore the fate which warranted this direful sa crifice, at nine in the evening, when at the dawn of the next day succour came in sight : " Sir,—As much has been said about the unfortunate acci dent to the William Brown, and as a complete statement can not as yet be laid before the public, we have decided upon communicating the principal facts. On the arrival of the Ville de Lyon with seven of the crew, it was thought right to examine them at the American Consulate, and since the arri val of the Crescent we have also interrogated the mate and several of the passengers. From their evidence it appears, that in the morning, when the boats divided between them the people who remained in them, after the ship had gone down with the thirty passengers left on board, the long boat, being overloaded and deprived of her rudder, must have gone down if the wind came on to blow hard. It did in fact get up, and towards night the sea became rough, and the boat, making a great deal of water, presented the alternative of either going down with all in her, or of saving her by sacrificing one part of those who were in her to save the others. Sixteen passengers, fourteen of whom were men and two women, who happened to be nearest the crew in the middle of the boat, were thrown into the sea. The principal leak was then found, and the men were able to stop it, empty the boat of the water, and keep her afloat, which they previously could not de. This terrible sacrifice of lives commenced about ten at night, and at six in the morning the Crescent came in sight. At the beginning, the women were all placed in the stern, and at the bows of the boat, in order that they might not impede the men in managing her, and this explains why so many of them were saved. They were all severely affected by the cold, and it appears that scarcely any of the passengers who were thrown into the sea made any great resistance, most of them being previously laid at the bottom of the boat as if they were dead. Throughout the affair, we have not discovered any fact capable of drawing down blame upon any one whatever. We have the honour, &c. " A. G. BEASLEY, Consul, U. S. "G. GORDON, British Consul." VICTORIA PARK. A Bill has been brought into the House of Com mons to authorise the Commissioners of Woods and Forests to lay out all, or any part, of the money re ceived from the Duke of Sutherland for York House, in the purchase of certain lands or hereditaments con taining about two hundred and ninety acres, with the several houses and buildings thereto, situate in the parishes of St. John, Hackney, St. Matthew, Bethnal green, and St. Mary, Stratford-le-Bow, or some or one of them, bounded on or towards the south-cast by t'ae Stour Navigation, otherwise Sir George Duckett's Canal; on or towards the north-east by a lane or road called " The Old Ford-lane, or Wick-lane ;" on or towards the north by Hackney Wick ; on or towards the north west by Grove-street Lane, and Grove -street, Valen tine-corner, and by lands belonging to Sir John Cass's Charity and Saint Thomas's Hospital ; on or towards the west by lands late the property of Nathaniel Fenn, John Scott and others, and by the Regent's Canal ; and such lands and hereditaments when purchased, to be conveyed and assured to her Majesty, her heirs and successors, and when so conveyed, shall for ever there after be taken and be a Royal Park, by the name of Victoria Park. The Bill also provides that the Commissioners shall have power to lease only one-fourth part of the Park, for building dwelling-houses or ornamental buildings. The sum paid by the late Duke of Sutherland for York House was 72,000/. SCOTCH BANKS. The deputation from the bankers of. Scotland, appointed to come to London pending the inquiry of the Committee of the House of Commons on banking, have printed a Report of their proceedings for distribution among their constituents. The majority of their number arrived before the 23d of April, and their first step was to obtain an interview with the Chairman of the Committee, to learn the course of proceeding and the points of examina tion. At first there was some little difficulty in getting two witnesses examined, as the Chairman said that Mr. Blair, of the Bank of Scotland had been examined already, and that it was the intention to hear no more than two wit nesses from Scotland. The difficulty was, however, got over, and there was no further obstacle to the appointment of Messrs. Anderson and Kennedy. While in London the depritution took every opportunity of making themselves acquainted with the prevailing sentiments in this metropolis, and complain that the operation of Scotch banking is but imperfectly under stood, while they express their anxiety at the favour found by the project of " One Bank of Issue." This was the great object against which they had to contend, and although they are not at liberty to publish the evidence of their witnesses, they have printed a written paper, which Mr. Kennedy wished to read, upon the effects of over turning the present system of Scotch banking, but which he was not allowed to do in consequence of a resolution of the Committee not to receive evidence in that shape. In this paper he observes that a question nut to him, as to whether the loss of the profit derived by the Scotch bankers from the use of their currency could not easily be made up by a small deduction from the interest al lowed on deposits, seems to indicate that they form an exag gerated opinion of the value of an unrestricted command of their currency, and that a small per centage (say a quarter) upon the amount of the deposit money would form the loss sustained by an alteration. Mr. Kennedy argues that the change would require 1 per cent. to be deducted from the deposits, to the great injury of the depositors, and, going into the history of banking in Scotland, contends that by the en couragement offered to the industrious classes to deposit their savings, the country has been raised from poverty to comparative opulence, and that the system having worked so well, it would be utterly inexpedient to begin taxing deposits, to introduce a more expensive system of banking. But the most important pt ot the report is an expression of the satisfaction that tbe deputation have derived from their temporary association, and a recommendation that the connection thus formed may not be allowed to expire when its immediate object is attained, but that there may be an organised association for the establish ment of su ab e n h ena re esfis g ot u c l oi a af t tt i i o ho n ne s wbtraiolornikisma be r e enald to lcyom tim fom e rmo a n s eidt rry be condu cTihveattosntchhe seemsof S c o t t l o a n b d e . pretty generally believed alining those wh o are ;ell acquainted with the facilities far combinati on , as well as the disposition to combine, which exist in Scotl an d.

THE LATE LORD JAMES BERES, FORD. The following is a copy of a letter from Captain Sym mons, of the ship Tigris, to his 'Grace the Archbishop of Armagh : " Ship Tigris, May 13, 1841. " My Lord Primate,--According to your Grace's de sire, I have the honour to forward the proceedings of the inquest held on board my ship, on the 28th of April last, upon the body of your Grace's nephew, the late Lord James Beres ford. " I beg leave to add, that during our long passage from Ceylon, until the clay previous to his death, his Lordship , ifuoyed good health and cheerful spirits ; but early on the morning of the 27th he complained of an excruciat ing headache, and throughout the day it seemed to in crease, until it deprived him of reason, and led to the sad catastrophe deplored by every individual on board, and by no one more sincerely than by myself. "It may perhaps be a melancholy consolation to your Grace, and the other members of Lord James's family, to know that the act which thus terminated his life cannot be traced to any worldly cause whatever, but solely to a fever on the brain, and consequent temporary bereave ment of reason, not to be accounted for ; and that his Lordship's kindness of heart and amiable disposition had won him the esteem of all his fellow-passengers.—l have the honour to be, your Grace's most obedient humble servant, " JOHN SY3I.I.IONS, Commander of the Ship Tigris. -" To his Grace the Archbishop of Armagh:" The Dowager Duchess of Bedford with the Lac . li es Georgians and Raehell Russell are still passing the spring at Ramspte, but are shortly expected to return to town.

The Common Council of the City of London, which generally has the honour] of leading the way in great political and commercial move ments has unfortunately come in last in the dis cussions on the three great important questions which now agitate the entire country. We will not quarrel with them, however, abour the delay, as the independent Members have at last de cided justly, and defeated all the influence of the LORD MAYOR, six Aldermen, and fifty-eight monopolists. The Ministerial mea_ sure for repealing the Corn-laws was carried yesterday by a majority of sixteen, and a peti tion to. that effect was adopted without opposi tion. We trust that this demonstration will be followed by a full meeting of the Common Hall, and that the citizens of London will take part with the other Corporations throughout the country in putting an end to a system of re striction and monopoly which threatens the em pire with the most direful consequences. The Paris Journals of Sunday have been duly received. The debate in the British Parliament on the sugar duties and bread-tax is exciting the liveliest interest in France. Most,Of the Journals support Ministers, and recommend a dissolution of Parliament in the event of their being de feated on a division. They contend that the Ministers cannot resign without betraying The country, as the first act of Sir ROBERT PEEL, on taking office, d be to dissolve Parliament, and so bring influence of 'Government to bear against people at a new election. From the Ho se o Commons there lies an ap peal to the nation, and this Ministers ought con fidently to make before giving way to the Tories. Lord WARWICK'S taunting the poor with their ignorance and inability to sign petitions, praying for eave to fill their bellies with cheaper bread, i s severely commented upon in the Siecle of Sun day. That Journal, says very truly, that the Aris tocracy rob the poor of their earnings in the shape of a bread tax, arm then sneer at them for not being qualified to write begging letters to Parlia ment. If the tax were remitted, the people would be in a condition to defray the ' charges of a writing-master. Their Lordships, too, would be saved the trouble of rejecting so many begging letters. The French Journals are very angry with some of our Contemporaries for asserting that Louis iPHILIPPE promised to evacuate Algiers. We .regard the question with the utmost indifference. Jf France cannot live without fighting, there is no battle-field upon which she can let blood with Less injury to the progress of knowledge and civi lizatiori than the theatre of her recent struggles In Africa. A conquest which costs France 0 . ,000 men annually, and burthens her people with taxation, ought not to be grudged her by t hose who limit her will to disturb the repose of lAirope by her power. There is no domestic news of any importance in the French Papers. " Queen Christina, " save the Gazett e d e F rance , " goes daily from the Palais Royal to the Tuileries to breakfast and di tie with the Royal Family. One of the Royal carriages goes regularly, morning and evening, to convey her Majesty from owe palace to the other, and conducts her back to her apart ments Two sentinels are posted at the doors, and the guard turns out every time the Queen goes and returns, the drums boa ting a Royal salute. The same honours are paid to her at the Tuileries. The Queen passes all her leisure time in Writing, rind after dinner is thus employed till 11, and sometimes 12 at nigt it." We have received the following letter from Vienna, dated the Bth of May :—" The nomination of Baron Munch-Bell inghausen, our Ambassador in the Diet of Frankfort, and the President of that Assembly, to the dignity of Minister of State and Conferences, which is published to-day in the offi cial Gazette of, Vienna, is considered by those persons who are acquainted with the internal policy of Austria, as the pre lude to a more important elevation. Baron Bellinghausen, it s said, will soon be recalled to Vienna, to act in conjunction ~ vith Prince Metternich, whose successor it is presumed he - will be, for it is well known that though still young he is eon 7sidered as the most able of the diplomatists of Austria, next to Prince Metternich. After the death of Count Clam n Martinitz it was thought that Baron. Figuelmont would succeed the present Minister ; but since the influence exercised last year by Baron Bellinghausen in the Department of the Archchancellor during the ab.eriee of Prince Metternich. here is no doubt that the Prince has chosen him for his sue cessor." The peace of Europe i s . • again confirmed, as the Journrd•d u Frankfurt assures us, i n announc i ng t h e so l u ti on o f the Eastern question, the hon our o f w h ich result i t ascr ib es to the policy of Printe Metterni c h. As for France, i t as k s ' w h ether it has gained by its policy of separating itself from the other Powers, and it does not hesitate to declare that it does not think so. It states, in the following terms, the result sprepared by the retreat of M. Thi ers, and by the declaration of peace on any terms of M. Guizot : --" This policy has consolidated the influence of , England in the East, to the pre judice .of that of France. It has caused the Viceroy to lose, the fortress of St. Jean d'Acre, and all the ad vantage which the Treaty of the 15th July offered him , and France, as p ro b a bl y lost a friend and an ally. If the fortification ,if Paris is represented to us as a happy result of that isolation, answer only one word, as soon as the Emperor Aurelian hail caused Rome to be surrounded with a rampart, the internal city visibly hastened to its ruin ; it was, says Gibbon, a great but deplorable enterprise, for the fortification of the capital an nounced the fall of the empire."—Le Commerce. Letters from Athens, of the 18th ult., announce that the Greeks are eager to join the Candiotes in the war which these oppressed islanders are waging against th e T ur k s . i n one now before I us we find the following passage : Numbers are starting for Candia every day. A party of 1130 a few evenings ago marched down to the Pirmus, singing Rational songs, he; ded by a flag with the arms of Candia crossing the Gree stripes, so that the Government can no 1. wager plead ignorance; they calculate 'in all, that no less than 4, .000 men have left Greece for Candia ; the Cretan colonies of Nauplia, Alonamisasia, Modon, Coron, &c., are completely at a.ndoved. A small goelette also left the Piraeus a few ev,” ,ings since for Mount Athos, with 153 men and 80 barrel, of p 3wder ; the powder, however, was bought at Hydra and Spec :zia. W e have various accounts from Thessaly, but, however, thy-, all agree on one point that. about 800 men are concealed_ in the pl uses between Mount Athos and the main land, and are. well s upplied pith provisions from the two Greek villages there. They - • seem to be waiting the arrival of a chief, supposed to be G Tz r a e nf.:; g , , lS: e.r a a t l a i s y s f o e s el ( 1' 04 .1 1 3 p moment they are under the orders of a priest, .the : of Ti irkey, the really small w p ' re ho tt i y s under surveillance a t Nanplia).; Turkish hnpt population, usuajoenss,; a f n ro ci tt o hestal: preju dices of the Turks themselves, who have a prediction that their reign_ in Europe is nearly over. Against the insurgent Candiotes the Porte is sending 6,000 men, besides the military force already in the island. As such a body of troops at having such facts promulgated in Parlia ment. We heartily thank them, therefore, for attracting our particular attention to Mr. T. BUNCOMBE'S speech, and for enabling us to as sure our readers, on the authority of those Tory Journals, that it is an excellent speech, and that it deserves their attention and approbation. The attempt made by both the Post and the Standard, to deduce from Mr. BUNCOMBE'S re commendations to the Legislature to look at home, an advocacy of the slave trade, or an en couragement of slavery, such as was supplied through many years by the Tories, is merely silly. The English now sanction no slave trade, and they have ransomed the slaves at a great price. When General TARLETON resisted Mr. CLARK SON, the English carried on the slave-trade, it was sanctioned by the Legislature, and they held many hundred thousands of our fellow-creatures in bondage. General TARLETON and the Tories advocated the continuance of those enormous crimes, and they insisted that the English should not wash their hands of the guilt. Mr. BUN COMBE merely says to the Legislature " You are bound to look to your own people, who are starv ing- ; whatever you can do to relieve them you ought to do; your discriminating duties on sugar, established in favour of slave-grown sugar, and maintained to enrich the former owners of slaves, weigh heavily on your own people, and I call on you to take off some of their bur dens." If the consequence of that should be. at some distant time to give encouragement to the slave trade—which we deny, the guilt of that will be on the head of those who practise it, not on the Legislature of England, which merely relieves its own subjects. Who can tell that such will he the result? Who will believe Dr. LTJSHINGTON and Sir FOWELL BUXTON, seeing that they have been continually deceived? Who can suppose that evil will come of doing good ? If the Tories entertain such a supposition, we can only say that they are as sceptical and impious as they are hypocritical. Small, very small, is the part the wisest man can see of the consequences of his own actions, and we never could or should do right, if the possibility of evil resulting at some remote time and place were to prevent us doing at every moment all the good in our power. To reduce the sugar duties will be a great benefit to our own people ; it is doing right to them, and let us trust the issue to Providence. ROYAL SURREY THEATRE. UNDER THE MANAGEMENT OF MR.

In the Lords last night, the Marquis of BREA.DAL BANE, on presenting petitions in favour of the Minis terial propositions, declared his approbation of them. That the, enemies of free trade are also the foes of liberty, and the dire foes of Ireland, is plain by the Earl of WINCHILSEA presenting petitions, in conjunc tion, to preserve the Corn-laws and to exclude the Ca tholics from Parliament. The bigots know that they must starve the people to attain their object. After a few more petitions had been presented against the Poor-laws by our indefatigable friend Earl FITZ WILLIAM, their Lordships adjourned till Monday next. 'Wednesday is a usual holiday, Thursday is Ascension-day, Friday is kept as the Queen's birthday, and therefore their Lordships will not meet till next Monday. In the Commons the adjourned debate was again re newed by Mr. SHELL, and brought to a close, after a series of superior speeches by that gentleman, Mr. HERRIES, MT. VILLIERS, Mr. C. BULLER, Sir ROBERT PEEL, and Lord PALMERSTON, at three a:clock when the House divided. We shall only say now of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S speech that it was completely jejune and unsatisfactory, so far as his determination to vote with Lord SANDON on the Sugar Duties went, though he gave a slap to the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, clear and explicit, on the subject of the Corn laws, on which we will make none, or but some petty al terations of a few pennies in the sliding scale, vigorous as a personal defence, and as a personal attack on the Ministers, for he provoked some hearty laughs against the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER seated on an empty chest, and fishing for a budget in bottomless defi ciencies—but sadly unsatisfactory for the country as to what he would or could do in the present difficulties. He made rather light of them, admitted commercial dis tress, but thought it might blow over as credit in America recovered. The Right Hon. Baronet spoke for nearly two hours and three-quarters, and rivetted the at tention of the auditory through the whole period. Lord PALMERSTON gave an admirable account of the policy which the Ministers have zealously pursued in suppressing the slave trade and slavery ; and he showed that the Ministerial plan of lessening commercial jealousy would enable the Government more effectually to suppress the slave trade. We recom mend his admirable speech to the attentive perusal of all the anti-slavery men. The Noble Lord clearly laid down the basis of the Ministerial policy as hostile to monopolies, and advocated in the boldest language the noble doctrines of free trade. Lord JoaN RUSSELL explained that he should cake no second debate on Ms resolution, but only a division. He repelled Sir ROBERT PEEL'S- attack on the Ministers for holding office contrary ti the spirit of the Constitution, after they had lost; the confidence of the country, and proved by his language that the Ministers have deeply con sidered their situation, and have fully made up their minds to bring forward the Corn-law question and then dissolve. With reference to this question, the Noble Lord made some adMirable remarks, to the effect that Providence, by its univem al bounties, had made all mankind the partakers of the same heritage, and by distributing plenty at one time to one country, and at another time to another, had provided against a general dearth, and for the general fellowship of .mankind. The Noble Lord concluded by emphatically telling the House, a word in which will find an echo in every heart; , that if the people suffer from want of food, it is not . to be attributed to Providence, which is ever bountiful, but to bad and unjust laws. The Noble cause of free trade and honest policy, in contra distinction to restrictions and roguery, is now fairly launched, and we trust will come speedily to a. safe haven. The Noble Lord spoke for a few minutes only, and the House then divided. On the motion for the Speaker to leave the Chair, A y e 5. ................................ ...................... 281 Noes ...................................................... 317 Majority i n f avour of Lord SANDON ' S resolution —36 Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S resolution, an amendment on Lord SANDON'S, was then put, and negatived without a division, and Lord SANDON'S resolution agreed to ; so that the Tories have resolved that the starving people of England shall not have cheap sugar, lest that, perchance, might work some injury to unborn Africans. The House having come to this vise decision, adjourned. Mr. T. DTTNCOMBE'S speech on Monday night has roused the fury of the Tories. Till we read the remarks of the Post and the Standard we were not sensible of its great value. Scenes similar to those he described are familiar to us. We have continually laid before Four readers afflicting accounts of the destitut tof our popu lation at Bolton, in the suburbs of London, and in our manufacturing and agricultural districts. Mr. DIINCOMBE'S speech did not, therefore, make the same impression on us that it made on our Tory Contemporaries, who are filled with dread . is not greatly disproportioned to the number of the disaffected, the contest will be dreadful, if the Great Powers decline to interfere in favour of the unhappy Christians. But the revolt of the Candiotes forms but a tithe of the troubles of the Porte. A letter from Constantinople, dated the 27th ult. says :-- g , A Government Tatar, who arrived in Constantinople on the 25th, was the bearer of the alarming intelligence of a ge neral insurrectio n of th e peop l e i n Albania and Bosnia. Sixty thousand men were said to be in arms against the Porte and its authorities, and there was every appearance of deep and extensive organisation in the plans of the insurgents, which are in all probability connected with the outbreak in Candia. The amount of troops to be embarked for the present expedition will be from 5,000 to 6,000, a force which, it is thought, will be quite inadequate to the task of crushing the rebels, whose numbers, thanks to the foolish interference of the European Consuls, have, though originally not more than two or three hundred, swelled to fifteen thousand. A Turkish steamer arrived here the day before yesterday from Ileyrout, bringing rather unsatis factory accounts with respect to the state of Syria. Amongst other causes of discontent there, was the establishment of the quarantine, which the more bigotted Mussulmans, who abound in those provinces, declare to be quite at variance with the pre cepts of the Koran." Whatever be the result of the present insur rectionary movements in European Turkey, it requires but little sagacity to see in them the germs of a great revolution, the accomplish ment of which cannot be much longer delayed. It is in this light that European statesmen ought to regard them. It is in this light that Russia considers them ; and therefore it is that all her policy is directed to attach the disaffected to herself, in the hope of inducing them to re place the yoke of ABD-UL-MEDJID for the iron despotism of NICHOLAS. Now it is the interest of England and France to prevent this. The crescent is rapidly waning in Europe. The ter ritory which it ceases to overshadow ought to form an independent barrier state, limiting Russian aggression on the side of Constantinople. Coax-Laws.—Meetings in favour of the Ministerial measure of Corn-law Reform were held on Monday at St. George's, Southwark, and in the wards of Aldgate and Bishopsgate. Stirring meeting also, in furtherance of the same object, were held at Greenwich and Wands worth. In the provinces, public meetings are daily taking place in all quarters. REPRESENTATION OF CORK.—Mr. Beamish having signified his intention of retiring from the representation of Cork, the Liberal electors of that city have properly held a meeting, and have decided on offering the repre sentation to Jeremiah J. Murphy, Esq., of Lota Park. This is at it should be ; we wish other constituencies would imitate the example, and then they would not misrepresented. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TUESDAY EVENING. There has been a certain degree of tightness in the Money Markets, and the rates of discount keep up high. Under Five per Cents. very little commercial paper is at present nego tiated, and it is hoped that the Bank of England will shortly afford more accommodation to the general mercantile interests, in the shape of loans or bills of exchange, and Exchequer Bills, as well as merely accommodating their own customors. Some imagine that the circulation has been reduced to some extent, and that to this circumstance is ascribable the pressure for money ; but more probably the real cause is the apprehension of a dissolution of Parliament. If trade did not happen just now to be in a dull state, we should almost have• a scramble for temporary loans. It is well known, however, that most branches of commerce are dull, and as fortunately the ap pearance of the corn crops is most luxuriant, there is no serious inconvenience felt. In Stocks, whether foreign or d omes ti c , th ere i s a t presen t very little king, and the quotations remain pretty steady. Consols have been to-day at 891 to 90 for Money, and 90 to 901 for Account. Exchequer Bills have been at Is. to 3s. premium, and India Bonds have been down to par at 3s. dis count. Bank Stock took the range from 167 1 ,4 to 168*, and India Stock receded from 2514 to 251; the Reduced Three and-a-Half per Cents. were at 97* to it, and the Three per Cents. were at 88% to %. Long Annuities were at 12%. The transactions in Foreign Stocks were still, generally speaking, at a reduced value. Spanish Active Bonds were at 234 toe for the Account; Portuguese New at 34A to 331; the Three per Cents. at 20* ; Mexican at 28%; Colombian at 221 to a ; Brazilian at 68 to * ; Belgian, 1001; and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 52%. Scarcely a dozen bargiaos were effected in the Share Market altogether, and these could hardly be said to establish any cer tain rates. The foreign exchanges were much the same this afternoon as respects all the Continental cities except Hamburgh, on which the rate was a shade higher. (From The Sun of Last Night.) LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MAY 17.—A rather better business has been done its the Cotton Market to-day, and the market in one some degree firmer. The sales comprise 3,000 bales.

The master-cotton spinners of this neighbourhood feel fully assured that if the Corn-laws were abolishsd, or materially modified, the cotton trade would re ceive a wonderful impetus, as the produce of ' the , fields of foreign region might be profitably exchanged for ent-matu--'; factured goods.—Bolton Free Press. - -- - • --- Viscountess Vaughan, Forbes and Mr. accom_ j I panied by the youthful Earl of Granard and family, are ex- petted in town to-day, from Castle Forbes, Longford.
