To-night the other great party fight b eg i ns which Sir R. PEEL has challenged. We under stand it is not likely to end as he wishes. It is certain that the majority will not be so great against -Ministers on this question as on the hy pocritical sugar resolution ; and it is even possible that it may turn into a majority in their favour. At any rate, be it what it may, it cannot make a ' change disadvantageous to them. It will not make them, we believe, depart from their course one hair's-breadth. We are not quite sure that it would not be extremely advantageous to them to have, on this occasion, a very large majority against them. It would be a proof that the mo nopolists, the corruptionists, the jobbers, were not only firmly united, but firmly resolved to keep hold of the black mail they have seized from the people by means of the law. It would con vince the great public, which is only helpless be cause it is quiescent, that the Ministers have none to help them, but it ; and as they have now en gaged with hearty good will in the public cause, it may be hoped and expected that the more powerless they appear in the House of Commons, the more dependent they are on the public, the more zealously will the public come to their aid. Since the majority of the House of Commons have shown the cloven foot of monopoly, we are not sure that it will nct be for the credit of the Ministers to be defeated. Sir R. PEEL'S resolu tion expresses one fact honourable to them. They have lost the confidence of that corrupt assembly because they are honest. One of the great arguments of the Pro-Corn law men against the abolition of the Corn-laws is, that wages would fall with the price of wheat. The landlords benevolently keep up the Corn- laws to benefit the labourers, and make them Wealthy and independent. At the same time, they•have stolen the commons from the labour ers throughout the kingdom. The landlords have studiously endeavoured to keep the la bourers ignorant, and have put down beer.shops, to the extent of their rower, because they fos-, tered union and knowledge amongst the la- bourers. Fifty years ago the peasantry partook in most of the field sports of the landlords, and some of the distinguished cricketers of that day belonged to the working classes. Then the farm-labourers lived in the farm-houses, and masters and servants, landlords and labourers, were friendly together. Now the labourers are wholly banished from the farm-houses, and are persecuted in every conceivable way if they snare a hare or shoot a partridge. They are treated altogether as a worthless and enslaved race, and the riots of 1830 demonstrated that the landlords and farmers on the one hand, and the labourers on the other, cherish a mutual and bitter animosity. Since 1830 that animosity has been continued and ex asperated by the continued oppression of the landlords, and the continued poverty of the labourer. We call the Times with its daily diatribes against the Poor-law, which is a landlord's law, as a witness to our assertion. The whole con duct of the landlords towards the labourers is op pressive and tyrannical, and it must be entirely altered before they will convince a single human being that they have any regard for the happi ness of the labouring classes. Their assertion that they resist a repeal of the Corn-laws be cause that would injure the labourers, is only a most hypocritical pretext. . . If they had any faith in their own assertion they would follow it out. The great employers of labour, in proportion to their capital, are un doubtedly the farmers. They have compara tively little machinery, little fixed capital, while the bulk of the capital of the manufacturer is fixed in machinery. Supposing wages to fall with the fall in the price of corn, the benefits of that accruing to the capitalist would be in pro portion to the amount of their circulating not their fixed capital, or in proportion to the num ber of hands they employ. Thus the great bene fit of that supposed reduction would belong to the farmers who resist the repeal of the Corn laws, and the least portion of it would belong to the manufacturers, who most earnestly demand the repeal. In truth, the reduction of prices, which might ensue from the repeal of the Corn-laws, would reduce the-value of fixed capital. On this ac count the preSent owners of ships resist the re duction of the timber duties, because their old ships would fall in value. Not the manufac turers, therefore, but the farmers would be the class of capitalists to benefit by the reduction of wages, supposing wage 4 to fall in proportion to the price of corn. Now, why do not the landlords come to this conclusion? Because they do not believe their own assertion. They know, and the farmers practically well know, that wages would not, and never did, fall as corn fell in price. If wages so fell from the abolition of the Corn laws, as the great bulk of the expense of cul tivating land consists in the wages of farm-ser vants, smiths, wheelwrights, carpenters, saddlers, &c. &c., how can the landlords assert that the land would go out of cultivation ? The expense of cultivation consists in wages, which, the land lords say, will fall as the price of corn falls, and consequently there will be as much profit on cultivation when wheat is at 40s. as when it is at 80s. per quarter. The two assertions of the landlords that wages will fall as the price of corn falls, and that as the price of corn falls the land will go out of cultivation, are incongruous and contradictory. Neither of the assertions has any foundation in fact; they are made to serve a purpose; they are mere fudge and hum bug; and the landlords who make them do not believe them. They know that a fall in the price of corn causes an extension of the demand for labour. There is more corn to give for labour, and wages do not fall as corn falls in price. They know, too, that the consequence of the demand for labour is that the demand for food increases; that the farmers will be driven by competition to improve their cultivation, and to grow more corn at a less ex pense. They know that both these assertions, to the extent they make them, are untrue and they must be conscious that they are bolstering up a system of plunder by a system of wilful falsehood. We have already stated, at considerable length, the reasons which, in our judgment, fully justify a dissolution of Parliament. They may all be comprised in one sentence. A totally new set of circumstances have arisen to divide political parties since the Parliament was elected, and both parties agree in appealing to the people to decide between them. An appeal is made daily by the press, and can only be made legally by dissolving the Parliament. The leaders of both parties re cognise the propriety of the course, and only certain journals object to it to raise a prejudice against the Ministers. It is natural that each party should desire to have possession of the Government, when a dis solution takes place; but there is really nothing in the desire of the Tories not to allow the Whigs to possess the advantage which should make that conduct unconstitutional in the latter, which the former would adopt almost the instant they were in power. Such being the facts—both parties being agreed that the new questions and the new cir cumstances which have arisen make an appeal to the people necessary—to discuss whether it be constitutional or not, as done by the Whigs or by the Tories, is wholly superfluous. At the same time there are abundant precedents to justify the course Ministers mean to pursue. We apprehend that dissolutions will neces sarily be frequent, unless public opinion can be brought directly to bear on the Legislature without going through the formalities of an election. It cannot have escaped the notice of any living observer, that political events, political changes, and alterations in public opinion, now take place with unexam pled rapidity. Railways, by bringing into more rapid and close communication many millions of people, have given their own velocity to the public mind. They have had a similar effect on public opinion to the doubling of the popula tion, and changes will be great and rapid, as if the people of the metropolis had suddenly in creased to three millions. Discussion is now in stantly spread through the land, and a new po litical opinion started, and astonishing the com munity to-day, if it have any feasibility or any truth, is ripe for decision in a few weeks or months. Such a change in society,. unless by some contrivance public opinion can be brought to bear in a recognised manner directly on Par liament, will make frequent dissolutions neces sary to decide the new questions which will con tinually arise. In fact, the Chartists, without having the Charter, seem likely to obtain, if not annual Parliaments, Parliaments of a short du- 7 , .Ic_.-S•!AYIk-' ~ .;/4 " Illik : _p r o : gi : fr o y l " l ,l l .natle acia t I, , . gtt !,--:- JAIL ration. We learnt with much pleasure from the debate on Mr. T. DUNCOMBE'S motion, that 398 out of the 444 persons imprisoned for political offences have already been released. Some, we presume, have been pardoned and liberated, and the term for which others was imprisoned has come to an end. But though comparatively so few remain in prison, we regret that the Ministers found it incompatible will' their duty to comply with Mr. T. DUNCOMBE'S well-timed motion. We regret it as much for their sakes as for the sake of the prisoners, for nothing has so exaspe. rated the bulk of the people against them as the imprisonment of these Chartists. Be they punished rightly or wrongly, the effect on the minds of the working classes is the same. They believe the Chartists were wrongly punished-- they regard the punishment as persecution, and they despise and hate the law in consequence, and hate the Ministers, under whose auspices it was carried into execution. Could Lord JoaN Rusfstia. have found it compatible with his duty to comply with Mr. DUN• COMBE'S motion it would have had a power ful effect in soothing the minds of the working classes, and predisposing them towards a union with the middle classes in order to obtain the common good. Ministers must doubt whether they did not make too great a sacrifice to a punctilio, when they saw the motion supported almost exclusively by their own friends and re sisted by every Tory in the House, except Sir G. SINCLAIR and Mr. WALTER. Sir R. PEEL and Lord J. RUSSELL voted on the same side, both being apparently more intent on upholding the prerogative, than on showing mercy or doing justice to the people ; but Sir ROBERT was sur rounded by his friends, and Lord JOHN was al most isolated from his. It is plain, therefore, inimical as the people suppose the Whigs to be to them, that the Tories are still more inimical. The Chartists have now an opportunity of triumphing over both. The Whigs do not wish, any more than the Tories, for the total abolition of the Corn-laws. They will, however, we are sure, assent to that, if the people of the towns demonstrate, almost universally, that they are heartily resolved to have the total abolition. A union of the working classes with the middle classes, under the guidance of that enlightened, sincere, and earnest body, the Anti-Corn-law League, would accomplish the object, and ensure for the Chartists a complete triumph over the Parliament, and cheap bread for the people.We are happy to believe, from many communications which reach us on the subject, that the Chartists are everywhere becoming desirous to co-operate with the abolitionists. One struggle together, and that sordid aristocracy, and that arrogant and sel fish priesthood, which have so long plundered and insulted us, in the names of social order and reli gion, will be laid for ever at the feet of the people. The tone of deep sincerity which pervades the Anti-Corn-law meetings is a happy augury. Earnest men are sure to succeed. One mission ary, one fervent believer, is sufficient to make his own opinion the creed of a nation. But the Anti-Corn-law question has already scores of missionaries in every part of the land. No less than ninety Dissenting ministers in Glasgow and the neighbourhood, we are told, have signed a petition against the Bread-tax, of which the fol lowing are passages : That, although they heartily coincide with their fel low-subjects in reprobating the Corn-laws,, from th e i r ruinous effects on the industry and prosperity of the British people, they feel persuaded that the chief aspect in which it becomes them, as Christians and as Christian ministers, to regard these impositions, is their flagrant wickedness in the sight of Almighty God, to whose Holy Word they are opposed, with the benevolent ar rangements of whose Providence they are at war, and whose just displeasure, if persisted in, they cannot fail to draw down. That your petitioners beg leave to assure your Ho nourable House, that in these views they are joined by the great body of Christian ministers and private Church members who are known to them, with the ex ception of those who are directly interested, or who sup pose themselves interested, in the preservation of those restrictive statutes ; and that on no subject have the virtue and piety of the- country been more united in raising their solemn and decisive protestation. And that on these grounds your petitioners implore your Honourable House, in the name of the country, in the name of humanity and justice—above all, in the sacred name of religion, and of God ever blessed, to abolish these unrighteous laws with the least possible delay. Their fervent spirit pervades the great body of the Anti-Corn-law party, and it cannot be quelled by the cold, sordid fallacies of the land lords, or the barren formulas, borrowed from the Church of Rome, of the English priesthood. The repeal of the Corn-law is now regarded as a great moral and religious question; and if the landlords and the clergy of the Church cannot oppose it on moral and religious grounds, they will only provoke, by resisting it on sham and foolish pre texts, a more shameful defeat. The Paris papers of Monday have been re- I ceived, together with the first day's Report of the trial of DARMES and his two accomplices, DucLos and CONSIDERE, for attempting the life of the KING, on the 11th of October last. The trial excited no interest, and none of the usual precautions were taken to preserve the peace of the metropolis. This augurs well for the Govern ment, and for the state of public feeling in Paris. It must also satisfy the KING that a Government which outrages the public sense of justice by unduly magnifying offences, in order to glut its private vengeance in their punishment, is sure to provoke their almost immediate repetition. Still enough has not been done to discourage the atrocious crime of DARMES. While a villain, who has earned from the justice of his country a verdict of detention in chains and hard labour for life, can by the per petration of an additional crime make him self an object of European curiosity, and demand for his Judges, the Peers of France, that he may insult the Court and set the laws at defiance, and so act the desperado on a na tional theatre, there will exist a strong tempta tion to the morbidly vain in villainy to aim at the life of the first Magistrate. To deter from such a crime it should be punished with the utmost obscurity. No Court of Peers, no Cham ber of Deputies should be consulted, or made officially acquainted about the matter. The busi ness should be left to a common Jury, an ordi nary Judge, and the few witnesses - capable of bear ing testimony to the mere crime for which the accused stood charged. " But," cry the courtiers, " would you afford the KING no more protection than you would the meanest of his subjects?" Unquestionably we would. We would enable him to do more good than others, and so make himself more beloved than any subject could do. We would grant him such prerogatives as, if properly exercised would alle viate the sufferings of the afflicted, improve the condition of the industrious, satisfy the wishes of the virtuous, second the exertions of the benevo lent, and force even the evil-minded to respect in him the majesty of virtue. These are the true protections of Royalty. But to punish with greater eclat, and with more severity, offences against the person of a Sovereign than against the obscurest of his subjects, is but to exalt him as a target courting the bending of the bow of the hardly thought-conceived crime of regicide. DARMES, the principal criminal, when brought before the Court, presented the appearance of a rather stupid, common-place man. He is of fair complexion; and when asked if he had fired at the KIN©, admitted it at once. His age is forty three. DucLos' age is forty-four; his hair and complexion black, and his eyes exhibiting in their wildness indications of insanity. The third conspirator is only thirty years of age, but his appearance manifested nothing remarkable. To the preliminary proceedings of the Court, such as reading what in England we term the bill of indictment, which occupied two hours, the pri soners manifested the utmost indifference. The unfortunate affair of the LOUIS-PHILIPPE an hundred times more iv the trial of DARMES. The lCoerlryespinontedreenstce than excites Government has been sadly at fault with regard 1 ,, to this correspondence. of forgery, which it at firstltaibnasntidtounteeddamthaeitclhstatrhgee I France—a Royalist paper. It set at liberty two Editors which it imprisoned, without daring to bring them to trial. It brought charges against six Journals, abandoned five of them, and was defeated by the sixth in a Court of Justice. At the very outset we besought the French Govern ; ment to take no notice whatever of this corre spondence. Unnoticed by the King and the Ministry, we well knew that, after serving for a nine-days' wonder, it would be thrown aside and forgotten. But the prosecution of it by the Court has acquired for it an immense importance. Already do the Opposition Journals declare that they will not be satisfied—that France will not be satisfied—with a Ministerial pledge to the , Chambers that the letters are forgeries: The fact must be proved--proved by Judges, 1, and before a court' where the originals THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, MAY 27, 1811. cannot be seized on their production by the creatures of the KING. They therefore de mand the prosecution of La Contemporaine in London, where the correspondence is offered to be exhibited, and where it actually is at present. See to what mischief the foolish vindictiveness of a Government may lead ! The KING has con trived to get himself into a very troublesome scrape. Relative to the late news from French Africa we find the following in the National:— It appears, as well from General Bugeaud's despatch as from several letters from the head-quarters of the army in Africa, that it was the precipitation with which, without orders, the Duke de Nemours charged at the head of the 24th Regiment, of which his brother, the Duke d'Atunale, was Lieutenant-Co lonel, that prevente d the complete success of General Bugeaud's plan, and the entire destruction of the Arabs under the corn mr.nd of Abd-el-Kader. It was known in Paris on Monda3 that the French Government had ordered its representa tive at the Court of London to sign the Treaty for the pacification of the East in concert with Eng land, Austria, Russia, and Prussia. We have good authority for stating that the Treaty was so signed on Tuesday at the Foreign-office, so that there is an end to the isolation of France. The influ ence of France in the East has suffered greatly, from the adoption of the puerile policy of` M. TRIERS. But THIERS was intoxicated at finding such warlike Allies as King WILLIAM, of Holland, and his eleven thousand Dutch horses. Had M. Thum added to King WILLIAM and his Dutch horses _ST. URSULA, and her eleven thousand virgins, the force against England would indeed have been overwhelming! The following extracts include what other new: there is in these papers : Orders have been sent to Cherbourg to fit out a Govern ment cutter, selected for quick sailing, and to station it in the Bay of St. Brieuc, for the protection of the oyster beds from English fishing-boats. A water-spout burst over the village of Revermont, in the Rhone, a few days since, and extended its ravages over that and several adjacent communes. A great deal of damage was done, the water washing away gardens on the sides of the valley, and swelling the streams to torrents. No lives were lost. Several Journals quote advices from Cuba of the 15th April, which state that sixty-two negroes from Jamaica had landed on the southern coast of the island, and that thirty had been immediately shot, being suspected as emissaries to excite the slaves to revolt. From Vienna we learn that, on the 15th instant, Prince Metternich celebrated the 68th anniversary of his birth at his summer palace, in the suburb of Rennweg, and gave a grand diplomatic dinner, which was attended by all the Foreign Mi nisters. The Prince, in the course of the day, received an au tograph letter of congratulation from the Emperor. Prince Metternich was expected to remain only a few days longer at Vienna, being prepared to visit his estates in Bohemia, and thence proceed to Johannisberg, where he will have the honour of receiving the King of Prussia during his Majesty's intended tour through his Rhenish provinces. Extract of a letter from Athens, 30th ult. :—" Our last arrivals from Candia inform us that the Sfaxiotes had come down from the mountains to Argrocoma, where the main body of the Christians were assembled. A corps of the latter remained in the environs of Canea that they might not lose sight of the Turks, and the inhabitants could not leave the town, even for their ordinary business in the country, without permission from the insurgent commandant. The other strong places of the island were in the same position. Mustapha Pacha had not dared to take any active steps before the arrival of the promised reinforcements from Constantinople. A report is spread that Mount Athos has revolted, and that the insur gents have beaten the Turkish garrison." BOURSE—PARIS, MONDAY, MAY 24. First Highest Lowest Lad Price Price. Pric...

Madrid Journals, of the 17th instant, have reached us. Senor OLOZAGA had failed to form a Cabinet, and the REGENT had charged Count ALMODOVAR with powers to try what he could do. At a Cabinet Council it had been resolved that the title " Highness" should be prefixed to the name of the REGENT. Letters from Corunna of the 14th inst., state that Madame Mina had been appointed governante of her Majesty Queen Isakella, and of her sister the Infanta, at the special entreaty of their mother, Queen Christina, ex-Regent of Spain. El Castellano of the 17th states that the Commander Don Miguel Matan had surprised the famous Carlist Chief Jose Canela in a farmhouse near Agramont. He had come from the valley of Andoura, with a commission from Tristany to raise guerillas in the Segara. Before he was executed he made some important confessions, which might serve to defeat the plans of several other Carlist Chiefs, who purpose making similar attempts during the summer. Canela suffered death with resignation ; but to the last moment he besought an in terview with Espartero. The business transacted on the Madrid Bourse on the 17th inst. was but trifling. The Five per Cents. closed at 27 3-16 A cash, and 28i at sixty days. THE LORD MAYOR.—It must be highly gratifying to the citizens, particularly those who never enjoy any of the good things of the Mansion-house, and are verging towards decay by the prostration of business in the manu facturing districts, to find the Chief Magistrate, at this season of financial and commercial crisis, chiefly intent on feasting the . Bishops. He probably hopes that he may ward off the impending evils by their prayers ; the citizens, however, take a different view, for they are to meet in Common-hall, to petition against the corn mono poly, which the Bishops support. Their Chief Magis trate may perhaps derive the hostility which he pro fesses to Corn-law repeal, from his close connection with the Bishops. Were Alderman Harmer now in the chair, we persuade ourselves that in the present crisis the City would play a part worthy of her most illustrious days. LONDON DISTRICT POST.—The annual gross revenue already obtained in the London District Post, equals that produced in the same department so late as 1835, provided that in the last mentioned year the necessary reduction be made for the charges on General Post let lers.—Mr. Rowland Hill's Postage Paper, read before the Statistical Society, on 17th May. COURT CIRCULAR. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent visited the Queen and Prince Albert yesterday at Buckingham Palace, and remained to lunch. Her Majesty and Prince Albert walked in the garden of Buckingham Palace yesterday. Viscount Melbourne had an audience of the Queen yesterday. The Royal dinner party, at Buckingham Palace, last evening, included her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, their Serene Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Leiningen, the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, Lady Elizabeth Leveson Gower, Lady Anne Maria Dawson, Baroness Spaeth, Earl of Surrey, Earl of Morley, Vis count Melbourne, Sir George Couper, and Mrs. George Edward, and the Hon. Mrs. Anson. The Band of the Coldstream Guards attended at the Palace during the evening. The Marchioness of Normanby has succeeded Lady Portman as the Lady in waiting on the Queen ; and the Earl of Aboyne, and Major the Hon. George Keppel have succeeded Lord Poltimore and the Hon. W. Cowper as the Lord and Groom in waiting on her Majesty. Her Majesty the Queen Dowager visited the Duchess of Gloucester yesterday, at Gloucester House. Her Ma jesty, attended by the Hon.

The West India planters seem to have asser tions ready for every use. Scarcely a year has elapsed since they were dinning the public with complaints of the idleness of the labourers, of the deficiency of the crop of sugar, and of the ruin of their estates. They contemplated then making another attack on the purse of John Bull, on the ground that the compensation awarded them was wholly insufficient. As soon, however, as the question of reducing the dis criminating duties was raised, the West Indians found out that their estates were amazingly pro ductive, and that they could, with the help of their brethren of the East, whom they had a few months before treated as the vilest instruments, supply plenty of sugar for the utmost possible consumption of the people. Now we have been favoured with the following extract of a letter from Tobago, which makes us suppose that the assertion of abundant crops was made to suit the purpose of the moment:— I must give you a few words of the commercial pros pects of our islands. The fact is—relying upon a vast influx of money into the market after the Emancipation, the merchants have imported so enormously, that all the West India markets are thoroughly gorged, and recourse is obliged to be had to the smaller islands to dispose of the surplus goods of the larger. Tobago, St. Lucia, and Dominica, have formed the principal outlets ; on the other islands, goods are being sacrificed at cost, and at Barbadoes and Jamaica considerably below it. The crops will not realise early hopes formed of them. " Long drought," and " unseasonable showers " will greatly curtail their prosperity, and mortgagers and merchants, in debt, will rue this year deeply. I have been disposing of much, merchandise (British manufactures) here, greatly to the annoyance and anger of my narrow-minded, grasping fellow merchants, who have hitherto been ruling with most infamous prices, which my arrival has tended in a great measure to dimi nish. The poor inhabitants gaped with wonder when they saw me sell at a price which their merchants quadrupled in disposing of their articles! The inhabitants of this island are taxed to their very bones—poor women who live by huckstering have to pay a tax of 51. for their license to sell. It may be inferred, too, from the last para graph, that the planters have the same kind of regard for the labourers as our landlords have for white labourers, from which it follows that the resistance given to the reduction of the Sugar Duties, on the ground that it would injure the negro labourers, was a mere pretext. It would appear, too, that the local authorities have a much better means of promoting the welfare of the poorer classes, by abolishing taxes and re strictions, than by taxing the people of England in the price of sugar to enrich planters and mortgages. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE WS. CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING. Although the far-famed attractions of the Derby took the majority of the speculators from the Stock Exchange, there was a very good business done in the steadier securities to-day, such as the Three per Cent. Reduced, and the Three-and-a- Halt per Cent. Annuities, each of which supported the im proved rates of yesterday, the former being at 88/ the New Three-and-a-Half at 98 3 / 4 to 99, and the Reduced Three and-a- Half at 97} to 3 / 4 . Exchequer Bills bore a premium of Bs. to 10s. again, and East India Bonds were at par to 2s. premium. Consols for present transfer brought 90i to 89h, and for the opening they were done at 90% to h. The bargains in the Foreign market did not exceed, nu merically speaking, one dozen, altogether, and the quotations were barely supported. Spanish Active Bonds realised 23h to 23h, Colombian Stock receded from 22h to 22, Belgian from 100% to 100, and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. from 52h to 52i. French Five per, Cent. Rentes, however, ad vaneed to 114 f. 50c. The dealings in Railway Shares were as circumscribed as they have been for some days past, but there was a partial rally upon the heavy quotations of yesterday. Great Western were 27 ; the New, 121 ; and the South Western, 16i prem. Bristol and Exter were 25, Brighton 4i, Croydon Northern and Eastern 21, North Midland 32, and South Eastern 18 dis count. National Bank of Ireland shares were 1 discount. The attention of every one in the City is now attracted to the probable course of the proceedings in Parliament, when Sir Robert Peel brings on his resolution► respecting want of con fidence. In the meantime, the preparations for securing the election of Lord John Russell as the representative of the city of London have been commenced in earnest, and as it is thought by many that, in the event of a dissolution, no other Liberal would command such extended support, and compete so successfully against Conservative influence, it is hoped his Lordship will stand. (From 77te Sun of Last Night.) LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MAY 25.—The demand for Cotton to-day has been extremely limited ; the descrip tions purchased by the trade consisted chiefly of American, about 1,000 bales, without any material change in prices.

Yesterday A as settling day in the British Market, and to day is pay day, which will also go off w(.11, as the differences to pay are not to any great extent, and there is no doubt that all drafts will be honoured. Great excitement begins to prevail in the City on the impor tant event which is to take place tomorrow night in the House of Commons, on Sir H. Peel's notice, that the Ministers do not possess the confidence of the House of Commons. We have no arrivals this morning, with the exception of the French mail, and ordinary express from Paris, not even a single ship letter; such an event has not happened for a month past. The Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon were much the same as last post day, with the exception of Hamburgh, which was rather better. ERRATUM.—We stated yesterday in our City article at half_ past one, that it turned out to be a Bear account, which was the reverse; in the afternoon it was a strong Bull account. Consols opened this morning at 89 7 / 8 90 for Money, and for the 16th July 90/ a, same as they left off. Exchequer Bills, 8 10 prem. ; Bank Stock, 168 169 ; India Stock, 251, 253.

" No MONOPOLIES" should now be the rally ing cry ; and, under that cry, we hope the Liberal con stituencies of England will be prepared to put forth all their strength in the approaching contest. The county, at p 1 sent, returns a mere measuring cast majority of Reformers. If, in the next Parliament, as in this, there be returned a dozen Tory opponents of commercial re form, it is hopeless to expect that that great object will be accomplished. In fact, the policy, either of the Whig Government, or that which is to succeed it, will necessarily be to a great extent determined by the issue of the Lancashire elections.---Manchest& Guardian.

TUE HAGUE, MAY 24.—The French frigate Belle Poule, commanded by his Royal Highness Prince Join vile, accompanied by the Calfard brig, arrived in the Helder on the 21st of this month, On his arrival his Royal Highness was saluted by the men-of-war in the roads—the Belle Poule, as usual, returned the salute. His Excellency Baron de Bois Le Comte, the French Minister at our Court, and the Consul-General of France at Amsterdam, received the Prince on his landing. We find in the Handelsblad that his Royal Highness, accompanied by the Governor of North Holland, arrived yesterday morning early at Haerlem, and, having visited the gallery of pictures in the Pavilion, set out at eight o'clock for Amsterdam, where he arrived an hour 'after wards. A letter from Maestricht of the 19th of this month, says, "The Members of the Commission for determining the frontiers between Holland and Belgium have been again assembled here for some days past, to continue and conclude their operations. We are as sured that the boundary line between Luxemburg and Limburg is entirely settled, and that there remains to determine that between Flanders and Zealand, on which point the negotiations appear to be very far advanced. On the 22d of this month the King gave an audience to Monsignor Cappacini, Ambassador Extraordinary from the See of Rome, who had the honour of delivering his credentials. In the sitting of the second Chamber of the States General, on Saturday, the 22d, a Royal message was re ceived, accompanying the new draft of the project of law, relative to expropriation for the public benefit. ST. PETERSBURGH, May 13.—The Moscow Gazette gives an account of an affecting scene which took place on the 28th of last month. The Governor, accompanied by the clergy, and many other persons, proceeded at noon to the common apartment of the persons confined for debt, who were there assembled, to the number of 45, and announced to them that they were all free, his Majesty the Emperor having thought fit to distinguish the happy day of his son's marriage, by discharging all their debts, which amounted to 30,000 silver roubles. All of them, deeply affected,by this favour, went imme diately to the chapel of the prison to implore the bless ings of Heaven on the• members of the Imperial family, and immediately afterwards. returned to celebrate this happy day at their own homes." • PETERSBURGH, MAY 14.—Prince Butera, the Sicilian Ambassador, Baron Schimmelpewninck, the Netherlands Ambassador, and the Marquis of Clanricarde, the British Ambassador, who are going to leave their posts for some time, have had their•final audiences of the Emperor and the other members of the Imperial family. On the 13th of May fifty-one ships had arrived at Cronstadt. We learn from Pernan that the navigation was opened there on the Ist of May by the arrival of seven English ships in ballast. On the sth of May the number of arrivals was fifteen. ST. PETERSBURGH, MAY 15.—Our Journals publish the following Imperial Ukase:—" Already on the intelli gence of the Chinese Government having forbidden the importation of opium into China, we, in order to confirm the long existing good understanding between Russia and the Chinese empire, and for the interests of the inter course on the frontiers, and the trade of both countries, ordered Instructions to be given to the respective autho rities to exercise the strictest vigilance that no opium should be sent across the frontier to China, but as that prohibition has not yet been published, and it is our wish that it may be duly observed in the whole empire, we order the directing senate to take the necessary mea sures for the execution of our will." VIENNA, MAY 15.—The Constantinople mail of the 28th is not yet arrived. The insurrection at Rumelia seems again to have extended to the high roads between Adrianople and Nissa. The accounts from Servia throw but little light on the situation of the provinces, because the centre of the operations has been removed, by the victory gained by the Turks at Alexinizza, to a consi derable distance from the Servian frontier; and Mustapha Paella of Nissa endeavours, with unmitigated rig our , t o prevent all communication between the Christians and other countries, while the Pachas of the adjoining pro vinces have adopted similar measures. Should the Turk ish mail, as is generally believed, have taken the road through Bucharest, this will prove that the insurrection has extended to the east part of Bulgaria; as the Walla chian mail, which arrived yesterday, has brought no news from Constantinople. We are anxiously expecting, from day to day, accounts which will put an end to this painful uncertainty. DUTCH FUNDS.—AMSTREDILM, MAY it . Money.

Adopting the fa-hion, we must place the immense assemblage witnessed yesterday afternoon on Epsom Downs to the credit of that great sporting event yclept " The Derby," alth oug h, were it worth while to travel out of the beaten track and look a little into motives, we might, perchance, discover, that with the " trifling" proportion of nine out of ten, the dominant feel ing was simply a desire to see and be seen. An abstract love of the sport might have been gratified at an infinitely smaller expenditure of labour and money at the Hippodrome, but the excuse was wanting ; cheap pleasures are ever h e ld so, and John Bull would rather pay a guinea to see a field of donkies run for " The Derby," than half-a-crown for the quiet enjoy ment of first-rate sport at his own door. To those who were really attracted by a race which for so many years has given importance to the day, it must have proved less exciting than of old, albeit the field was, numeri cally, the best ever known ; public running, however, had thrown out nothing very extraordinary, nothing making any approach to a Priam, a Plenipo, or a Bay Middleton—in fine, as far as the ascertained merits of the performers contributed to its character, it was looked upon only as an average Derby. The speculation, too, on it had been of an anomalous character, the fluctuations unprecedented in frequency and extent, and immense sums had been dropt on horses without the negative gratification of a start ; the betters round far exceeded the backers of horses, very few books were completed, and some were squared on the day at an expense which must have made their authors wince. Matters were not mended by the extra ordinary pertinacity with which some of the favourites were betted against, or by rumours, even up to the day of starting, that some of the favourites were to be made safe—rumours, by the way, that led to the adoption of precautions which, if trickery was contemplated, must have had the effect of defeat ing it. Such as it was, heweve-, " The Derby" served the purpose, by inducing a re-union of all classes of her Majesty's subjects, and filling the pockets of the good people in the town of Epsom, and of their " cotlaterals " in the Downs ; it, more over, gave such a fillip to trade, that the inn keepers, postmasters, milliners, and dress-makers have it in contemplation to place at the disposal of the Stewards for next year's races an " Anti-Hippodrome Plate"—the South Western and Croydon Railway, no doubt, go with the stream, and contribute their quota to the the amusement of their pa trons. We might here enlarge upon the various topics per tinent to the day, but as they have been written threadbare we shall content ourselves with stating, briefly, that the throng on the road was greater than has been witnessed for many years, the heat and dust intolerable (notwithstanding the gross imposition of a double toll at the Epsom trusts on the plea of a water-rate, and the consumption of stimulating fluids extensive enough to ensure a sensible addition to the next quarter's revenue. The stoppages were unceasing, and the anxiety of the toll-keepers to prevent any thougtless person from paying twice so excessive that all the inconve niences which we had anticipated would have been ameliorated by the railway were felt in their full extent; the good conduct of the police alone prevented serious accidents ' • to prevent quarrelling and confusion was beyond their rea c h. The race was fixed for half-past two, long before which every part of the Downs available to carriages was appropriated. The Stands were as full as the ingenuity of their proprietors could stuff them ; and the scene, heightened as it was by a brilliant sun and a cloudless sky, one of the most vivid ever beheld. With so vast an assemblage, the Stewards had a hard task to perform; but aided by the A police, under Inspectors Hughes and Pearce, it was performed quietly and with entire success. Our time was so much engrossed by the racing, that we were unable to obtain a complete list of the fashionables • the following, therefore, must be taken only as a small sample : Dukes of Rutland, Beaufort, and Bedford; Marquises—Exeter, Westminster, Normanby, Titchfield ; Earls— Chesterfield, Ux bridge, Jersey, Verulam, Errol, Scarborough, Oxford ; Earl and Countess of Albemarle; Lords—Maidstone, Paget, W.
