No 15,203 PRICE 5d Mr. DEPUTY TYARS in the Chair, It was unanimously resolved,—That this Meeting is of opi nion that the present Corn-laws, are impolitic, cruel, and un just, that they have already seriously injured, and will, if suf. fermi to continue, ruin the commercial and manufacturing in terests of this country ; that they have converted those who would have been our customers into rival manufacturers, and taught them, not only to compete with, but to undersell us in foreign mark&ts. That the Co. n-laws impose an enormous tax upon the peo ple of this country, without the slightest benefit to the reve nue. That they are the fruitful source of wretchedness and want among the working-classes, and ought therefore to be forthwith repealed, in common with all other laws which restrict the face importation of articles necessary for the food of man, or the duties thereon reduced to the lowest scale which the relent exigencies of the country will permit. It vies Resolved,--That this meeting hail with feelings of the greatest delight and satisfaction the unparalleled unani mity which prevails in all classes of her Majesty's subjects on the all - important and beneficial measures now brought for. ward by Government; and they implore her Majesty's Minis ters to persevere in the good cause, and to dissolve Parliament rather than sacrifice it ; and this Meeting pledges itself collec tively and individually to support them by every means in their Power, and to vote for none but such Candidates as are the de teroodmiofned oppoeents of all monopoly, especially as it r egar d s th e f man. That Petitions founded on the foregoing Resolutions be pre sented to both Houses of Parliament, and that the Petitions low read b e a d opted and seat round the Ward for signature ; that Earl Fitz william be requested to preient the one to the House of L or d s, and Mr. Grote, and the other Members for the City, to support that to th e H ouse o f C ommons .

LIFE ASSURANCE. - - - - - Besides the perfect security to the policy holder of a large paid up capital, and accumulating funds, the following is one amongst many of the advantages which belong exclusively to the principles of Life Assurance and Deferred Annuities ori ginated by t ha Society, viz.—Power to borrow ( without de lay, expense, or forfeiture) Two-thirds of all premiums paid upon a Policy of Assurance. The annexed is a short Table, showing the Annual Premium for assuring £lOO on the Whole Life, or for a Term : FOR LIFE. A. B. Age. Without l With For One For Five Profits. Profits. Year only.

DEFERRED ANNUITIES DEPARTMENT. By the plan exclusively developed by this Society, a single Deferred Annuity is made, nut only to answer the same object, but to far exceed in amount the entire benefit of all the ad vantages heretofore only obtained by the middle and industrious classes through separate investments in Savings' Banks, Be nefit Societies, and Loan Banks. 1. A small yearly or weekly contribution will secure the most ample return for after life; thus-2/. 12s. per annum (Is. a week) at the age of 20, will give the policy holder the fol lowing option, at t h e age of 65 _ _ _ _ Annuity for remainder of life... ......... £47 16 6 Cash' ... 394 11 0 or a Policy, without further contributions, of 466 0 oat death. Other periods of life (of 50, 55, and 60) may be also taken with similar advantages. 2. Two-thirds at any time lent on deposit of policy, being a fund always available during sickness or want of employment. 3. Two-thirds of all payments returned to representatives in case of premature death. N. B. Policies, as collateral money-security, for periods of one to five years, effected at lower rates than are charged by any other Office, (See Tables A. and B.), with option of con. tinuance for Life at the usual rates.

ANDREW-STREET, EDINBURGH. And 64, FLEET-STREET, DUI3LIN. The POLICIES arc INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUT ABLE, unless they have been obtained by fraudulent misre presentations. Any important mistake, or even an unintentional omission, in communicating information, in answer to the numerous questions put by other Companies, has the effect of annulling the policy, and forfeiting the premiums —thus rendering it in general a matter of uncertainty (until the claim comes to be made) whether the policy be of any value. The London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Assurance Company, determined to obviate whas they consider injustice to the assured, satisfy themselves upon the various questions proposed by them before they enter into the contract of assurance, and frame their po.. licies in such terms as to .preclude all future questions as to their validity, and thus render them indefeasible and indisput able documents of future debt against, the Company. The po licies of this Company may, therefore, be regarded as certain available future funds, and as uninipeachab'e and negotiable documents for pecuniary transactions. ONE-HALF of the PREMIUMS MAY REMAIN UN PAID for SEVEN YEARS, Affording a greater facility for Loan Transactions and Fa mily Provisions than any other plan which has been sug gested—allowing a Policy to be dropped at one-half of the usual sacrifice—and entitling the Assured at a future period, when loss of health may prevent him from obtaining a New Assurance, to continue a Policy for double the amount of the sum for which he has paid Premiums. The usual Commis . sion allowed to Solicitors and Agents, and Medical Gentlemen arc in all cases remunerated kr their reports. ALEXANDER ROBERTSON, Managing Director.

DEPARTURE OF THEIR ROYAL HIGHNESSES THE DUCHESS OF KENT AND PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF LEININGEN. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, with the Duchess of Kent and Prince and Princess of Leiningen and suite, left Bucking ham Palac e on Th urs d ay mornine. at a quarter past 12, for the purpose of pro cee di ng t o Woolwich', from which place their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent and the Prince and Princess of Leiningen, intended embarking on board the Firebrand steamer for,the Continent. The Royal cortege consisted of three carriages and four, in the first of which were her Majesty and Prince Albert, the Duchess of Kent and the Princess of Leiningen. The an nouncemant that her M a j es t y was ex pected to pass through Greenwich, caused the streets to be lined with inhabitants, who cheered the illustrious party as it passed in a very en thusiastic manner, which her bilitabtY and Prince Albert acknowledged in a gracious manner. Her Majesty appeared in excellent health and spirits. The Royal party proceeded on to Woolwich at a rapid rate, and arrived at the dock yard precisely at one o'clock, where it was received by Lord Blomfield, Colonel Lacy, and Colonel Coruttenden. Upon her Majesty's alighting, a Royal salute was fired from the mortar barracks, and the band of the Royal Marines played the national anthem. The landing-place was covered by green cloth, and the Royal Artillery and 61st Re giment, with a company of the Royal Marines, were drawn up on each side. One of the Admiralty barges being kreadi ness at the stairs, the Royal party entered and proceeded to the Firebrand, which laid a short distance off the shore. Her Royal Highness and the Prince and Princess of Leiningen were re ceived on board the steamer by Admiral Sir W. Parker. Her Majesty kissed her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent twice very affectionately previously to her quitting the barge. Prince Lei ningen also kissed her Majesty's hand, and afterwards her cheek. Upon the Duchess of Kent embarking, a salute was fired by four six-pounders of the Royal Artillery ; another salute was also fired upon her Majesty coming on shore, the various military bands playing, arid the cheering of the people, to gether with the fineness of the day, made the scene of a very animated description. Her Majesty left the dock-yard at half past one, and was received on her return with every feeling of respect and gratification. Shortly after her Majesty's departure the Firebrand, with her d:stinguished passengers, left her moor ings on her passage for Ostend. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. On Thursday a Court was held for the despatch of business. FA RILING DON NEW STREET. Mr. It. L. JONES brought up the Report from the Farring don New -street Committee, which recommended that a bond to the Bank of England should be signed, for the further sum of 5,0001., to be advanced for Farringdon n ew street . Mr. WELLS, objected to the granting of large sums of mo ney by the Court, without receiving information as to the pro gress made in the o bj ec t for which th e money was required. Why, he wished to know, was not the new street proceeded with ? Mr. R. L. JoNes said that it was impossible that the City could proceed more rapidly than they were proceeding in the matter, until the Committee of the House of Commons, be fore whom the plan was laid, should come to a decision. Mr. 11. TAyr.on expressed surprise that the City Surveyor's Report on Mr. Moseley's plan as to Holborn •hill was not laid before the Court. Mr. It. L. JONES said that the idea of elevating the ground at the bottom of Farringdon-street, was quite ridiculous ; such a plan would destroy an enormous quantity of property in Farringdon -street, while a viaduct would not only cost less, but afford immensely greater accommodation to the public (Hear, hear.) The Committee of the House of Commons en tertained the same opinion, but as yet there were no funds to meet the charges of so great an undertaking. The report was then' agreed to. The Court adjourned after the transaction of some business of no public interest. There are, it is stated, three candidates for the City Comp trollenhip :—Mr. James, the secondary ; Mr. Thomas Saun ders, the solicitor ; and Mr. Tyrrell, the solicitor to the Com missioners of Sewers. Until the office is filled, Mr. C. Pear son, the city solicitor, is to perform the duties of comptroller. THE ADDITIONAL FIVE PER CENT. DUTY —A return has just been made to the House of Commons of the produce of the additional five per cent. duty on each article subject to Excise, the Custom's duty, and As sessed Taxes. The return gives the prod uce of only one half year of this duty for England, no more having been collected. The whole year's duty for Scotland, and the second half year's duty for England is now in a course of collection. The amount for the half year ending the sth of April, 1841, for England,' was as follows:—Excise, 444,1841. ; Customs, 915,0041., and Assessed Taxes, 136,9511.—T0ta1, 1,496,139/.

THE NEW-ROYAL EXCHANGE.-011 WC& nesday the Gresham Committee assembled and gave di rections that fourteen of the principal builders in Lon don should be applied to for tenders, for the rebuilding of the new Royal Exchange. The foundation of the build ing, which was contract e d f or by M essrs . W e bb , o f Clerkenwell, is nearly completed, and it is highly ap proved of by the architect and surveyors. The tenders for the whole structure are to be delivered early in August, and it is expected that the new Exchange will be opened in a perfect state, by the 20th of June, 1844.

The researches of the scientific of the present era hare been particularly directed to the discovery of various adjuncts to personal adornment, and to this end the reproduction of the hair has occupied by far ths greatest share and attention. Of the numerous compounds professing to promote or repro duce the hair, few have survived—even in name, whilst Row land's Macassar Oil, with a reputation already unparalleled, is still on the increase in public estimation. This celebrated Oil, besides possessing the properties ab ove - me ntioned;has the power of retaining the curl, in its natural or acquired state— at the same time bestowing a brilliant gloss and silk-like softness—unequalled; and, when it is known that her Majesty and Illustrious Consort have long Patronized " Rowland's Macassar Oil," it is an authority which stamps its superior excellence and title to all attempts of a similar nature.

CHRONICLE.—The speech of Sir Robert Peel last night was what we d ec l are d i t wou ld b e w h en h e fi rst announced 'ire motion of want of confidence—a movement in a false direc tion. We stated then, and we now repeat, that he could not render a more essential service to Ministers and to the coun try than by affording an opportunity for a discussion, in the coarse of which it would not be in his power, by any man oeuvring, to prevent the great question on which parties are now at issue, from being brought distinctly before the nation. It was clear to every one who heard the flight Honourable Ba ronet, that his own judgment condemned the course he was pursuing. He was evidently impressed by a consciouseies4, that whatever result his motion might have, it would nll against. himself. It is as not the speech of a leader cheering on his troops to assured victory. A tone of hopelessnes, pervaded it. Instead of a bold arraignment of Mi nisters, on clear and intelligible grounds, it was made up of assumptions of technical grounds of jus tification of the course he was pursuing, and throughout the Right Hon. Bat onet seemed to feel as if he were on his own trial. Every now and then we could perceive that he was de fending himself against his own party—as if he were answering the charges lately brought against him by the Times Journal of nut doing enough, when out of office, to ensure his return to power. Sir Robert act out with stating, what no one would think of disputing, that a Ministry ought to possess the coe &nee of the House of Commons, and he gave himself much unnecessary trouble to go over the parliamentary history of the country since the Revolution, to prove that Ministers, when they ceased to command majorities in the House of Commons, usually resigned. But though it may be necessary to command the confidence of the House of Commons, it is not necessary to command the confidence of any one House of Commons. No prerogative of the Crown is more essen tial for the safe working of the Constitution, than the power of appealing to the country by a dissolution. With out such a power a House of Commons would, like the Long Parliament, become a permanently supreme power. When Sir Robert observed that it is dangerous to set up the implied or supposed opinions of constituencies against their de clared and authorised organ, the House of Commons—that the House and the Constituencies should not be brought into this unseemly contest," he said what literally amounted to nothing. It was true, if applied le., an abstract House of Commons, but not,true, it applied to any particular llouse ; else why the power to dissolve when the Crown allows . the country to judge be tween its servants and a House of Commons? During a great' part of the period travell e d over b y the Right Honourable Ba ronet, Ministers usually resigned at once on being outvoted, because in the then state of the representation an appeal from a majority would have been an absurdity. Except under such very peculiar circumstances as those which induced Mr. Pitt to appeal to the country when the coalition between North, Fox, and Burke had excited a strong feeling of indignation against them, there could be no hope from a dissolution. So long as a Ministry were to the taste of the boroughmongers, they commanded a large majority, and the decrease of a large to a small majority was tantamount to defeat. But defective as the Reform Bill may still have left the representation, it has annihilated the boroughmongers, and it cannot niw be said that the same individuals who returned the Representatives to one House of Commons return the Re presentatives to its successor. The Reform Bill has made the prerogative of dissolution a real and substantive part of the Constitution. When it is allowed that Ministers have the power to dissolve Parliament, and appeal to the nation, the question is at an end. They have not, as Sir Robert Peel himself admits that he did, continued to govern the country with majorities against them, not only in the whole House, but in Committees, for months, in a House of Commons summoned by himself, hut all the attempts of their opponents to possess themselves of powei have been foiled. The Ministry have not, it is true, a great majority, but Sir Robert will not contend that a minority is better than a majority. TIMES.—In as far as Sir Robert Peel's motion proposes to affirm that " her Majesty's Ministers do not sufficiently possess the confidence of Parliament to enable them to curry measures which they deem essential to the welfare of the country," it only expresses, in a civil and ceremonious way, what those Ministers themselves can neither disguise nor disown. Indeed, from the night when they effected a re-entrance into Down ing -street up to the present moment they have been destitute of all the attributes of office, except its mere patronage and booty ; of real power or popularity they have none. Many of their mischievous machinations have been ignominously defeated ; but, unless with the concurrence and aid of the Con servative party (as in the Irish Tithe and Corporations Bill), not a single proposal of theirs of any importance —no, not even with O'Connell's tail at their back—have they been able to procure acceptance for, from either branch of the Legislature. Whether we recur to their home or colonial policy on matters which they have uniformly rep resen t e d as essent i a l to the public weal, we find, that so far from having commanded the confi dence of Parliament during any part of their career, their whole Cabinet history has been a series of humiliating defeats. Their factious and predatory plan fur supplanting Sir Robert Peel's abolition of- Church-rates—their vile attempt to suppress Pro testant worship in various parts of Ireland—their scandalous endeavour to discard religion from the general education of the people—the tyrannical coup d'etat whereby they sought to ex tinguish the free Constitution of Jamaica—their high-handed despotism in reference to the Canadian provinces —their nefa rious jobbery in the Newport-Monteagle affair—their guilty and alarmed opposition toMr. Herries's motionfor the production of the public accounts—their base attempt to disfranchise Ludlow for having rejected that everlasting French lacquey of theirs,. Monsieur De Larpent—their heartless profligacy in having courted Royal favour at the expense of exposing Prince Albert to the perilous unpopularity inseparable from an exorbitant al lowance—their veaal resistance to Lord Stanley's Bill for the reform of the Irish registries—their despicable project for a 51. qualification on behalf of O'Connell's myrmidons, while yet refusing the same privilege to Englishmen in a similar rank of life—their licentious registry-abortion (of which that offensive piece of Irish favoritism was a part) begotten by their Popish Attorney-General, but of which the immaculate Lord Mor peth consented to become the putative father—and finally, their last desperate sally upon British commerce, by a reckless and premature assault upon some of its principal branches—on all these important points (what others have they successfully dealt with ?) they have been arrested, exposed, handcuffed, and horse whipped —ay, to an extent unparalleled in the calendar of Ministerial degradation. Connectecrwith the preceding proofs of Sir Robert Peel's proposition, " that the Queen's Ministers do not sufficiently possess the confidence of . the House of Commons," it is necessary to bear in mind that this fact has been distinctly admitted, both by Lord Melbourne in the House of Peers, and also by Mr. Babington Macaulay, in a lugubrious harangue of his to the Edinburgh electors. The same truth was forcibly pressed upon the Whigs by Viscount Howick in the House of Commons, when, in justification of his retirement from the Ministry, he informed them, in a spirit worthy of his noble sire, that though he should still continue to give them a discriminating and independent support, he could not disguise from himself that they were rapidly losing their friends, and that neither the House nor the country reposed in them the confidence necessary to an effi cient Government. The acknowledgment of Lord Melbourne,' that " the worst possible Administration was that which could not carry its own measures," was abundantly corrobo rated, not only by Mr. Macaulay's confession of the weakness, uncertainty, and failure which night after night paralyzed their vulgar Liberalism, but by a series of Parliamentary 'discern fitures which, while ratifying in thick succession the unguard ed admissions of those Ministers, showed that their continued retention of office, in spite of such defeats, was as humiliating to their personal honour as it was repugnant to the Constitu tion of the country. Considering, then, that the first part of Sir Robert Peel's motion has been repeatedly assented to by the Ministers themselves, the question naturally arises, what are the subterfuges by which they will seek to parry the second part of it, which really contains its sting ? Why, with the view of showing that their refusal to bow to the reiterated dis missals which they have received from Parliament, how much seever it may have violated the theory of the Constitution, has at least been sanctioned by a number of weighty precedents, they will doubtless refer us not only to the case of Mr. Pitt in 1783, but to the example of Mr. Perceral in 1610, and finally, to Sir Robert Peel's owe procedure in 1838. POST.—Never was a more shameless falsehood uttered than that of the Whig-Radical Ministerialists that the senti ment of the people of England is in favour of the late and present conduct of the Melbourne Government. It neither is so, nor is at all likely that it should be. In the first place, every intelligent Englishman knows that the late advocacy of free-trade measures by the Ministry is in direct opposition to what they have advocated on previous occasions, and the English people de not like such changes. Even if they were in favour of the new policy—which they are not—they would not much approve of seeing it carried into effect by men who have hitherto given it their utmost resistance. It is no new thing to have submitted to the House of Commons measures for the more ready admission of foreign sugars, foreign timber, and foreign corn. Almost every session these measures have been brought forward, and the leading men of the Melbourne Government have resisted them. It is not because they now choose to adopt them that the English people will approve of their conduct, and desire to keep them in office. In the second place it is not believed, nor is there any reason to be lieve that these measures have been brought forward from any newly-obtained conviction that they would be for the public good. The general belief is, and it is a very well-founded be lief, that had not Ministers been very much afraid of losing their places, they would have brought forward no such mea sures. It is not for the country's good, but fur their own (qv posed) party and personal advantage, that these measures have been brought forward. They expected (but, as usual, they miscalculated) that the proposal of such measures would give them that popularity without which they were aware that a long continuance in office was scarcely possible. At all events this popularity—if by any means it could be attained— afforded the best chance. It is not because Ministers are at last driven to play a desperate game, and to plunge into the moat palpable inconsistencies for the chance of popular support, that the people of England (who see through the trick) will support them. In the third place it is not ge nerally' believed (because all ground of rational belief is quite the other way), that Ministers, when they proposed their n e w measures with respect to sugar, timber, and corn, had the slightest intention, or the remotest expectation, of carrying any one of them through Parliament. It is the gene:al, con fident, anti reasonable belief that they proposed these measures well knowing that they had no more chance of carrying them than they had of ascertaining the degree of heat in the planet Saturn by means of the thermometers hung up in the House of Commons. Now, the people of England are not likely to approve of a Government which brings forward measures which it knows it cannot carry. This is all very well fur the Opposition, whose business is merely to affect the public mind, and nut to carry on the Govern ment. B ut they who are en trnsted by the Sovereign with the carrying on of the public business, ought not to degrade the Crown by the bringing for ward of unsuccessful experiments. Indeed, when a Minister brings forward a propositiob as a part of the scheme of Go. vernment for carrying on the public service, the practice of the Constitution implies that he will carry it, or yield the Go vernment into other hands. ADVERTISER. —The vanity of human expectations was never more forcibly illustrated than in the last night's grand party motion of Sir Robert Peel, for a vote of want of confi. dance in the Ministry. It was .brought on with so touch feebleness, and with so much coyness, by the Right Honour able Gentleman, as to produce neither excitement among his supporters nor despair among his opponents. It was empha tically a dull speech—abounding in inst ances not pertinent to the occas i o n—a speech of points, not of p r i nc i p l es — w hi ch touched himself full as much as his opponents, and which was felt by the eager adventurers of his own party to be a sore dis couragement, while his antagonists were simply amused by the ponderous incapacity of the Tory Goliath, that was to have de stroyed, root and branch, by one fell swoop, all the Ministerial farces. As we expected, Sir Robert Peel only succeeded in convincing his friends that so long as the policy of their party should be left in the hands of a leader so cautions and prudent not to say timorous and reluctant, their reversion to office mus be far distant, and if obtained, not tenable for long. He, on the other hand, it must be admitted, seemed anxious to declare off, and in several tarts of his speech, indi cated an inclination, if not a determination, to snake himself independent of all advice or control, whether it should issue from the thundering Times, or his own teasing and impracticable supporter. Upon the whole, the im pression left en our minds, and on many others of al parties with whom we have since conversed, is, that Sir Robert Peel had obeyed unwillingly the directions of his party, in a course which he could not sanction ; arid it is indeed obvious that the Tories could gain nothing, whilst they might lose all the de lusion in their favour resulting from the temporary adhesion of a few anti-slavery, and corn-law people, who for the nonce swelled his majority on the sugar duties debate. Since any majority less than that must, pro tanto, diminish its value, and show, that though it iiklicated the sense of the House upon the occasion, it was not a test of the estimation in which the Go vernment and their policy were generally held : on the other hand, if the Ministers should obtain a maj..rity, the former decision would be wholly reversed, and the Ministry would be reinstated in Parliamentary confidence, as well as in that of the people. But the speech, like all Sir Robert Peel's expo sitions, indicated more by its omission s th an b y w h at i t con tained. He avoided every matter of substance. He confined himself to the technicalities and conventional practices of Par liament ; as if the people care one jot for these, except so far as they coincide with and enforce the objects for which Parlia ments exist, viz., the wish and will of the people. It was, in short, a complete begging of the question ; of what ought to be the rule and practice of Parliament in such matters. HERALD.—It will be seen from the report which we pub lish, in this day's Herald, of the speech of Sir Robert Peel, last night, that our anticipations (as they have been recorded from day to day for some time past), have not been disap pointed. The Right lion. Baronet began by showing how great was the extent of the political imbecility of the existing Government, to which he proposed to apply a remedy (by putting on record the remarkable resolution with which he concluded), and how incalculable were the amount and the operation of the consequences to be anticipated from the affir mation of such a resolution. It may be important at another op portunity, to consider, in the first place, what were the princi pal results to be thus looked to, in contemplation of the exigen cies of our present position, and what were the remedial measures which were to be applied to it, in reference to the im mediate aspect of political affairs. And hero we cannot help remarking, that on no former occasion have we observed a more interesting or effective example of that faculty of order and arrangement which is his peculiar forte, thin Sir Robert I Peel displayed last night in his mode of bringing under the notice of all parties in the House his Bill of indictment against the (present) Government. To borrow a phrase from Southey, he fairly called " the great in office—to judgment. And it must be allowed he was no flatterer of those who rise in the mull by vehement professions, at the expense of per formance, and practical duty. It will be seen that he plunged in ngedias res. He gave himself up to his subject. There was no " beating about the bush ;" no mistake about the sort of game which he meant to put up. To preclude the possibility of any such mistake, he had worded his resolution in terms which " all who run might read." He touched slightly on that strange story of frequent defeat and humiliation which the printed lists of divisions (session 1841) have so emphatically told. He contended that they proved on the part of the House, _" a total want of confidence" in the present adviseis of her Majesty, and he claimed with reason tho credit of bringing that important question under the notice of the House, in the most direct, straightforward and manly manner. He showed (with no unnatural degree of mingled pride and self-gratula tion) the careful abstinence he had observed in not permitting himself, for a moment, to thwart the progress of measures es sential to the best interests of the commerce and industry of the empire at large, and especially in not opposing the grant of " supplies," so essential to the maintenance of the grandeur, the force, and the character of the empire. GLOBE.—When his Grace of Wellington asked " How is the King's Government to be carried on ?" if the change proposed by the Reform Bill should be effected—it probably did not occur to him that the first direct resolution against carrying on the Government on the only terms thenceforth practicable, would be moved by the leader of his own party i n th e House of Com mons. When Sir R. Peel declared his acquiescence in the Reform Bill as " a great constitutional settlement," he probably did not make the mental reservation of 2‘3- cepting the settlement., without accepting its natural and foreseen consequences. When Lord Brougham 'was told, in 1834, that the Whig Government had lost the confidence of the country, he asked whether the Tories had got it ? That was the question they asked the country about Christmas the same year. We all know what was the answer. But Sir R. Peel was not, at that time, quite so sensitive about carrying on the government without the confidence of the House of Commons. Sir R. Peel presented himself cap in hand, to be taken on trial—" salary no object ;" what was desired being " permanent situation," with every expression of willing ness to make himself "generally usefuL" Sir H. Peel adhered to this intention with wholesome humility, through a series of Parliamentary kicks and cuffs, which would sicken a servant of all-work. We do not say he was wrong. We do not think lie was. Having ventured to assume office, we think he was bound to the Sove reign, at whose invitation he had undertaken it—to the party whose interests were entrusted to him—to the cause which he sought to strengthen—we think he was bound to fight his battle to the uttermost—to persist in his experiment to the last constitutional limits.. But what was that experiment ? It was that of governing on new terms. It was that of dispensing with the support hitherto deemed indispensable to enable any Minister to hold his position for an hour. It was the strongest prac tical acknowledgment possible of the change which the loss of the means, which had previously been at the dis posal of every Minister, to secure a certain body of ad herents in a new Parliament, had created in the tenure of official power. Sir Robert Peel held office five months, not only unable to carry measures—but unable to carry through obnoxious appointments, or prevent hostile resolutions. Again, we do not blame him for it. He did the best tier his party and principles. lie acted, with considerable applause and effect, the part of " the good man struggling with adversity, a spectacle worthy of the Gods "—a part which he ascribes with much less circumstantial evidence to the present Ministers. It; however, it was lawful for Sir Robert Peel to keep his F round, not with majorities doubtful but against majorities nowise doubtful, how can it be un lawful for the present Ministers to keep their ground against the non-concurrence of the House in parts of their policy ? It seems that non-concurrence is a tacit indication of want of confidence. But Sir Robert Peel kept office against indications neither tacit nor equivocal. Six years ago, then, Sir Robert 'Peel acted on different principles from those which he now propounds to be en forced on his successors. Six months hence, if his new doctrine should help him back again into power,' he might find himself compelled to fall back on his former creed of reform-conformity. STANDARD. The question of the Ministry is now happily out of the less worthy hands of the press, to occupy the attention of the Representatives of the people. The debate upon Sir Robert Peel's reso lution was last night opened by the Right Honour • able Baronet in the most triumphant speech ever deli vered even by him. The address was marked by all the characteristics of Sir Robert Peel's style—the pure but unaffected diction, the clear arrangement, the strict logical sequence, the sincere though unostenta tious candour above all, the serene power, which forces without sensible pressure the qualities, in a word, which exalt the great Conservative leader above, all living orators, and place him in the same rank with the most eminent of the illustrious dead. The effect which this extraordinary manifestation of intellectual vigour will have upon every reader is the more remarkable, because the speech presents nothing new in fact or opinion, or even in its combinations. Nearly every argument of the Right Honourable Baronet has been forestalled, and all the facts upon which he rested are facts long familiar to the public. Such will be always the c ase when men discourse ingenuously upon public affairs ; but this is the privilege of genius of the first order ; it needs not to borrow aid from fanciful perversions of language, or reasoning from startling paradoxes ,or wild theories ;, truth is enough for it, and, by some inconceivable process, analogous to the great operations of Nature, it can convert the painest and best known truths into that by which men are delighted, amazed, and irresistibly carried away. Sir Robert Peel's speech of last night will be long regarded as a model in our language, and reverently consulted, in future centuries, as the manual of a British statesman. We give honestly and plainly, but without fear, the impression which the speech has made upon ourselves, and in giving th a t i mpress i on, we offer a satis factory apology, as we trust, for not attempting to analyse tmhdeidSt shapean drd, an argument, nearly every l ea di n g reason of which has onealreadye vr (lof which appeared lieh in t the the columns of ofialld these reasons take we cannot displace without the greatest injustice. COURIER.—Sir Robert Peel o pelted out his no con fidence" motion in an oration of most remarkable t ance, force, and dignity. It was alike free from e d ini I - excitement of manner as of matter; un yt ordinary vitii pie; ration , ungarnished by declamation, it was marked throughout -r.oughout by a quiescent, but lofty and sustained ele vation of style and.sentiment, relieved with a power and felicity of argumentative contrast, and calm, but cutting sarcasm,filt which justly ent i t l e i t to be described , as it was' % to be, th e very su b limity of ratiocination. No thing equal t o i t h as been heard since the days when the immortal Pitt, whose mantle has so becomingly descended upon the great statesman of our times, towered with like grandeur of mind and still more haughtiness of deportment over the lesser lights of his firmament. lie passed is review the constitutional history of the country, from its origin with the house of HanoVer, and from numerous instances, in which the Ministries of the day found themselves in circumstances at all analo gous to those of the present, deduced and established the irresistible conclusion, that never before was an example to be found of a Government despotically persisting to rule in defiance of a House of Commons, by which substanti ally and repeatedly stigmatised as undeserving of confi dence ; never a Government before which had dared so boldly and flagitiously to violate the spirit and trample on the forms of the Constitution. For the proofs, reiterated and reinforced with ever accumulating power, we can only refer to the admirable argument itself, of which we should vainly seek to convey any adeq ua te conception of the whole in this respect by the citation of the whole in detached parts. ....---,..-----,----__ AFFLICTING ACCIDENT. —A very heart-rend. ieg occurrence took place in the River Blackeater, on Thurs day last.

The monopolists are at a heavy discount in the City, and daily sinking lower in public estimation. The public are quite satisfied that, whatever men may form the Ministry, they must speedily proceed to a revision of the tariff to restore the de pressed condition of trade and manufactures. They perceive perfectly that this course must,have been adopted before now it we had not been able to open new markets in South America. and the Australian colonies. Those sources are found to be insufficient to postpone the recourse to this remedy any longer, the falling off in the Continental demand,and the drain of gold for Foreign Corn—beirg much too, heavy for the counterpoise—and no alternative re mains, except to take a decided step iu favour of free trade. The objections raised by the monopolists now fall dead from their press. The argument so often raised by them that foreigners will not take our manufactures in exclisnee for corn and timber, has lost. efficacy, because it is known that it was our refusal to take their corn and timber on fair terms that compelled them to turn their attention to, and to invest capi tal in, manufactures. To pere;st in their past bee sif coer cive policy would therefore only oompel the Germans to con tinue in the same line of rivalry, whereas, if we should open our ports to the produce of their soil on the payment of mo derate import duties, they would apply themselves assiduously and permanently to the cultivation of it, while our manufae ; turers would in the same wsy reap the benefit ensuieg from . a greatly ineeeased demand for their goods. • I is the view now taken by every impartial man here. We believe it is the view taken by niariy peeseni of all shades of pelliisalopinlons., and that it is useless to attempt to conduct tile Government cf the country n any o'her principle. Every one we speak to pre fers a moderate fixed duty on corn to a siding ssale, because it will steady prices, and relieve the market from the flue tuat ons produced by the averages which expose the home grower and consumer to the mercy of speculators, who make fictitious sales to raise or depress prices, as may best suit their emu views at the time. While a sliding scale exists the averages must exist., and while they do the eorn trade can be nothing but gambling. A fixed duty is looked upon as the only practical remedy fir this enormous abuse. It is considered not only the sole effectual remedy for that abuse, but also the only way in which the piece of corn may be kept at a price of about 50s. to 55 s. per quarter for English wheat, quite enough to keep land at a fair value, and to give the tenants a remu nerative price, while it will protect them from the ruinous consequences that follow from a glut under the present aye tent. Indeed, it is thought that in the course of time the supply and demand will so find their level, that the home market will never suffer either from scarcity or superabun dance of supply, for the deficiency in one country would be made good by the supply in another, and thus all will enjoy the benefits of free intercourse, and a choice of markets. Three facts arc palpable to the people, and they fully understand them. The City monopolists are thus driven to a coiner, and in their defeat are glad to catch at straws, indeed at any thine likely to assist them even for a moment. Thus we find them raking up obi s:ories, founded upon letters from correspondents regarding the claims ot ceetain owners of transports during the war for restitution of light-house dues, from which they erroneously claimed exemption. The amount in question was retained by the Board of. Transports, and ulti mately, it seems, paid by the Treasury to the Trinity House, on bond to the Crown, that it might be made. forthcoming to the parties who should be found legally entitled to it by the opinion of the twelve Judges. That opinion has never been (Attained, but we have no doubt ,:they will de cide against the exemption ; for, although - freighted ere cially fot the purpose of carrying troops transports clearly do not come under the description of ships exempted from light house dues. The Monopolist Journals; Floe ever, repre sent this very sample matter as one . " deeply affecting the character of the present Administration regarding their en gigements with the shipping interest of the country." More perfect twaddle could not be penned. The law is open to the owners of these transport ships, if they be not satisfied to abide by the case of Clarke. We do not know. whether our Contemporary has given the facts correetly.or not. But we have been content to take thorn in his own way. and having done so, this is alllse make of it. TIMES.—The notice issued at the Bank of England this morning calls for no remark which has not frequently been made before. As a banking operation, it is net ot a very legi timate character, being adapted rather to the Stock Exchange thin to the transactions of commerce, but the late general pressure for money, which it is calculated, at least for a time, to relieve, has rendered the measure a very opportune one to a large class of persons. The Commissioners of Sewers resolved, at the meeting they ' held last Tuesday, to enforce 'cMichael Angelo Taylor's Act, ( and to remove, if possible, the deformity which the Bank of England has thrust in the way of the City improvements, by allowing the Sun Fire-office to pass the proper boundary in the erection of their new building. The solicitor is probably by this time instructed to proceed, and tho first step is a notice to the opposite parties that a jury will be formed to assess .the value of the ground prior to a purchase. Haring once began the attack on the encroachment, it is to be hoped the City prosecute it with rigour. CORN-LAWS. (FRoM A CORRESPONDENT.) Duur.iN, MAY 25, 1841.—1 t gives me great pleasure to in form you of the result of two County Meetings held )ester day on the subject of the Corn-laws. You are aware that the Tories calculated on a reaction in their fiTeur in Ireland, in consequence of the proposed change in the present earn duties, and accordingly that party convened the counties of Roscommon and Galway, by a requisition to their respective High Sheriffs, to petition against the Ministerial plan. But the attempt was defeated, and in both plaeek resolutions were passed in favour of the Government policy, though not pledg ing themselves to the exact amount of a fixed duty. The amendments to the monopolists' propositions were moved in Roscommon by Oliver Grace, of Mantua, and seconded by Daniel Ferral, of Beechwood ; and in Galway, by Sir Mi chael D. Bellew, and Andrew Browne, men holding property in the agricultural districts to the amount of 40,0001. per an num. This fact shows that in Ireland there is no hope for the faction. DETERMINED SUICIDE. On Thursday an inquest was held before Mr. Wakley, M.P. Coroner, and a respectable Jury, at the King's Head, Moscow road, Black Lion-lane, Bayswater, on view of the body of Je-. , seph Whittacks, aged fifteen, who committed self destruction by shooting himself through the heart, on Monday last, under the followine. circumstances Jane Broadbridge deposed that she was a single woman. and was living in the service of Mr. Grimstone, an artist, siding at No. 1, Petersburgh-place, Bayswater-hill, in the eb pacity of housemaid. The deceased was page to Mrs. Grim stone, and was between fifteen and sixteen years of age. lie was the son of a labourer on the metropolis roads, and had been living as an out-door servant to Mr. Grimstone two or three years, but within the last eight or nine weeks had been , in-doors as page. On the afternoon of Monday last witness way ' about five o'clock at the gate of the house, having gone there to call some person in, as the deceased had said he would shoot himself, when she heard the report of the-discharge of a pistol on the premises. She immediately called Uri man who was passing, and returned with him into the house, and running up to issaased's bed-room, on the stairs leading to which she had just before lett the deceased sitting, when stae found him lying across the bed, with a wound in his breast, front which the blood was flowing fast, having shot himself with a pistol, which was in his hand, or near it. Deceased was quite dead, and his clothes were on fire, which were torn off with a pair of tongs by the strangers whom she had called in. Deceased had Just before come in from the garden, where he had been out to play, as was frequently his custom when he could get at his master's pistols or guns. No one was it the garden with the deceased, but some of the dogs. About foie o'clock the same afternoon, deceased had knocked at the don] of witness's bedroom where she was dressing, no one hit wit ness and the deceased being in the house at the time. Witness would not open the door, but he repeated his desire to come iii. After witness would not let him in, deceased went (loon stairs, and then came up again in about five 'minutes, when witness saw him, and he sat on the bed. Witness brushed out his kir for him, after which he left and went tutu his master's room again. Witness again warned him not to touch the pistols. In a minute or two he came running up again . ..led asked kir a piece of paper, and caught up a book called "The Comp 'lion to the Sacrament," when witness s l id, "Oh ! Joseph don't tear that." Deceased said " I want a piece of paper, as lam going to load master's pistol." Witness immediatel y urged him for Heaven's sake not t o d o soi w h en b e sa id h e di d want a piece of paper to load it with, for he thought he should shoot himself. Witness told him if he would read that book, he would never again think of shooting himself. Witness did not think the deceased was serious, as he bad so often talked about it before. He then caught up one of witness's cc.: papers, and ran out of the room, and went down to the cottage in the garden with the dogs. Witness did not fellow him, but deceased soon came up the yard and flung up a stone at wit ness's bed-room window, at the same time playing with one of the little dogs in th e gar d en . D eceas ed then came in, leaving the pistol, witness believed, jn one of tl., green-houses. He repeated that lie should, lie thought, shoot himself, but he would like to shoot witness first, and with that he caught her kindly round the neck, and also by the hand, and said " I certainly mean to shoot soy self." Witness replied, " You never mean it, surely." De ceased had often before said to witness and the other servants, that he should like to be in battle, where there was nothing but bloodshed and killing one another, and where the streets wee. moistened with blood, and that he should like to shoot some one die first, and himself afterwards. Deceased then went . to the green-hou se , an d brought back theistol, and dropped Ija I I bullet. Witi..ss believed he had charged it with po wder in s witness if she knew where there were any mor e 'Master's room, as the powder was kept there. I l e the n asked witness p bullets . Wit ness replied she did not know, and if she as him, and she dared him to go into hism Jane, as •ou won't cam , . t tl e i r d s tzt r i a ld in n o te ou ll after that deceased said, "Good bye, 00 ,3 t shoot yourself.
