He therefore opposed the resolution of the Noble Lord, because he was himself a consietent opponent to slavery. He next op ) oied that motion because he believed it would be highly injurious to the people of this country to continue our present Custom-house regulations, which had already de- prived us of many markets in Europe and in America. Had not the blind system of monopoly adopted is Eng land forced the German States into the Prussian League, to the great detriment of manufacturers of this country ? It was non - Timis that few of our goods ever found their way to the fairs of Leipsic and Dantzic, where they over flowed thirty years ago. The resolution of the - Noble Lord would pereetuate the evil, and it could not, cense queetly- have his approval. He opposed it, again, because, if it were carried, the Irish people would look upon it as a resolution to unseat a Government which had won their attachment, and be cause it would shake their confidence in the British House of t lemmone, and would contribute more to a Re peal of tile • LTeioe than peke meaelre that had been de vised of late yearee. He said this because he knew the Irish people, and their feelings, and determination ; and he felt; it his clay to warn the British Legislature before they raised up seven or right millions of men in arms against then:.—(bear, hear, on the Opposition Benches.) He said that figuratively, but the success of the resolution would raise them up in direful opposition against any Go vernment that might succeed the present. Fourthly, he oppesed the resolution became he detested monopoly in tve:y sh sl e ; he detested monopoly in religion, but he d ,tested monopoly in trade and commerce above all things. The resolution, however, would tend to confirm monopoly in its worst form as it would affect the neces saries of life. The . West Indians had no right to coin plaia ; they had received an enormous bounty ; they were about to receive an enormous protection ; and he knew not what they expected, unless they wished the people of England to pay them more for their estates than the actual value of them. He hoped the resolution of the Noble Lord .the Member for Liverpool would be scouted by the House ; he was sure it would be by the country ; and he hoped that the Government would feel it their duty to appeal to the country on these measures cheers from both sides of the House)—and he thought that. after' the little trial which they hall al ready. seem of the popular feeling—(lmmense cheering ,eom the Opposition, which drowned the conclusion of the seetence.) He understood that cheer, and he would come to that subject presently—he meant the feeling which had been manifested by the anti-slavery body throughout the country—(Loud Ministerial chee-rs)---by those who had been ail their lives opposed to slavery— '`,lieers)—by those who had advocated the cause of negro emancipation, when there were slaves within our own dominions to 'be emancipated.—(Loud cheers.) — The people were not to be deluded by the new born zeal for the blacks of Hon.

The proposition of the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the subject of sugar would tend to increases consumputin, and therefore it must in crease the revenue.

Gentleman, after coquetting with the su,*et, raid if the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exch t squer called on him for a remedy, he would state it ; end the Chancellor of the Exchequer. good easy man, pTicked ens his ears, thinking what a good man, what a disi e iteretted patriot, he was, TH E SUN, LONDON. TUESDAY, MAY Is, 1841. to show them how to get out of these difficulties. The lan of the Right Hon. Gentleman simply was by leaving things alone.— (Hear, hear, an.' a laugh.) He would show the House thee they could not. leave things alone. The Noble Lord the Member for North Lancashire said he objected to the proposition in point of time—that they shoule not have made it except in a ease cf the most urgent necessity, or when their national existence was in peril. Ile should like to know whether such was not the case at presen'e when foreign coun tries had shown a great disUeclination to receive their manu factures when they would not receive the produce of these countries in return—when there was overwhelming distress in the country, and the labouring classes were driven almost to despair.—( Loud cheers.) He contended that the crisis had already arrived, and it was impos,ible the people could make any further sacrifices. The Noble Lord the Secre tary for the * Colonies, in his admirable speech at the com mencement of the debate, had alluded to the prosperity of the West India Colonies, and it had been asserted by some Hon. Members that these statements were exaggerated, but he would quote to the House an authority which would not be contested by Hon. Members opposite, namely the House of Assembly. They stated that they did not shrink from a com parison with the people of Great Britain as regards the social condition of their people—that among . them there was no instance known of parents putting their infants to death, to aye them from the horrors of protracted starvation—that they hid no Corn-laws to add to the wealth of the rich, nor no Poor-lads to imprison, under the pretence of maintaining, the poor.—( Hear, hear.) Such was the description the House ot Assembly gave of its new population, and he would prove that it was equally true as regarded the people of that country. The Right lion. Gentleman, the Member for the Tower Ham lets, had either through ignorance, or , apathy to the condition of the poorer classes, in a speech which hail created the greats sr disgust throughout the metropolis, stated that the poor people would prefer a dinner of herbs to the stalled ox they would set before them. Instead of going to Cuba and the Brazils to point out the wretchedness of the slaves,why had not the Right lion. Gentleman gone to Bethnal-green among his own constituents ? —( Hear, hear.) He would refer the House to what occurred the other day at the Mansion-house, when the Relieving-officer of the West London Union stated that he was obliged to escape by a back way to avoid the importunities of the hundreds of paupers whom famine had rendered almoss reckless of life. Another relieving-officer said that he had given assistance to 6,000 destitute poor in the course of the year, and that hun dreds had come to him actually famishing.—( Hear.) These were not solitary in-tances. But he would take them to the manufacturing districts ; whereas in Bethnal-green they were shown to be without furniture or bedding, all the family inhabiting one room, and: almost starving, in the district which he had the honour to represent the distress was equally great, and in Marylebone, close to the seat of splendour and fashion, the people were starving at their very doors.—( Hear, hear.) In twenty-six houses in that distract there were not less than 882 inhabitants, and, in many instances, individuals of all ages and sexes slept together in the same room and in the same bed.—( Hear, hear.) If they went to Birmingham they would find from the report of the Relieving Committee, that during the severe weather of last winter, upwards of 40,000 persons were in such a state of destitution that they re ceived, with the greatest eagerness and thankfulness, the pittance of I 4d. per head per week.—(Hear, hear.) To the Relief Committee a communication was addressed by a Committee of working men, in which they stated that they could not bring themselves to believe that the Relief Com mittee would abruptly leave off its labours, and under the cir cumstances which they knew to exist at the present rime, abandon their Christian brethren without giving them the slightest hope. In a nation which was the wealthiest in the world, the smallness ot the sum collected offered no remedy at all for the evils endured by them (the working men). He (Mr. D.) woul I call the attention of the House to the follow ing passage in the above communication :—" We remind you that there is no real difficulty in the case— that each of the distressed workmen could, if employed, produce five times more than he would consume." He would next call the notice of Hon. Members to an extract of a letter from Burton-on- Trent, which stated that four manufactories in that place, worked by Messrs. John and Robert Peel, had ceased to work, and nearly 500 persons were thus thrown out of employment without the least chance of their being re-engaged. This (con tinued the Hog. Member) surely was a state of things which called for some remedy. He hail got details of the misery and distress of the hand-leorn weavers of Manchester, with which he would not troelele the House. If Hon. Members would real the Report on the condition of the hand-loom weavers, they would find cases of individuals living at one penny per day. The condition of the. working classes in Loughborough was, if possible, still worse. A letter from that place mentioned the case ot a man who had formerly been in good cif cumstances, and who, in consequence et' his wretched condition, hung him self, in despair on the death of his wife. The writer coneiuded his letter by saving, that he would not recite ail the cir cumstances which came under his observation which were enough to make a wise man mad. A letter front Sutton Ashfield stated that the distress there was daily increas ing, and yet the poor rates were so heavy as to bring the tradespeop'e on a level with the opulent. The letter was signed William Goodacre, the curate of the parish, who was a gentleman ot high Tory principles. In the neighbourho Of Huddersfield, many of the poor people engaged in weaving were obliged to travel several miles for the material of the fabric which they wove, and, after completing their work, they travelled back with it, and yet the average amount of their wages 'vat about 4s. 6d. a week. Nothing could be mote miserable than the hovels in which they dwelt ; they were de.. void, not only of every comfort, hut of every necessary article of furniture. He would refer to one letter more, which was printed and addressed to the Duke of Wellington. It was not from a Chartist, or one who sought for the Vote by Ballot, but from a High Church and State man. The letter men tioned that not more than six miles from Huddersfield the peasantry were in such a state of want that they considered a cow which had died of dysentery, a great god-send —or, as they termed it—a green cale.—( Hear.) The writer of the same letter went on to say that he had inquired of many how of en they had tasted butcher meat, and the universal answer was, never but when they could get a " green cale." One landlord who had a cow who died of this complaint, said that he would not dispose of another to the poor for 501., for they out up the flesh before it could get cold, and devoured it al most raw. here were individuals scrambling for carrion to sustain life, and yet they had heard a Right Hon. Gentleman say that the poor people of this country would prefer a dinner of herbs to a stalled ox. Before they called upon the poor of the country to make such sacrifices, they must make their prac tice accord with principles. When Ile saw the great officers of Church and State prepared to sacrifice a portion of their reve nue, rather than take it out of the pockets of a starving people --when he saw the owners of Brazilian mines refusing a por tion of the gold raised by the labour of the negro, he would then believe that this millenium of self-denial had arrived ; but till then he said they had no right to call upon the labour ing classes of the country to refuse and reject one of the chief necessaries of life, because it happened to come from what they were pleased to call a poltuted source. — ( Hear, hear.) It was well known that the division for which Honourable Gentlemen were so anxious would be against her Ma jesty's Ministers, but he trusted that they would not on that account despond. When the Noble Lord the Secretary for the Colonies gave notice that at a future day he would call the attention of the House to the duty on corn, and when the Chancellor of the Exch, quer hid his propositions before the k ot :!e, he would venture to say that the announcements had given gre :t satisfaction to the country, yet they were received with derision in that House. lint the Noble Lord must not despond. He must rt:'member that at the time when he pro- Reform—(Cheers) — pos h e e d w h a i s s masesaasiulerdes by y er the discordant yells and the hor rible howls of the boroughmongers.—(Loud cheers and laughter.) The people stood by the Gevesnment of that day and they would stand by the present Government.—( Hear. ) And perhaps some of them might live to see another message sent to Noble Lords in another place on the swamping princ'ple, which was no doubt remembered by the Right Hon. Member for Pembroke and the Noble Lord the Member for North Lancashire, requesting them to absent themselves while a measure was passed that would be beneficial to the interests of the people. No doubt Hon. Gentlemen opposite flattered themselves there was a reaction in their favour ; but this had only been produced by the mariner in which they had evaded the Reform Bill by that bribery and intimidation which had made the Reform Bill a dead letter—( Loud cheering)— until the people had almost forgotten that such a Bill had ever passed. 'There was no reaction in the country in favour of Toryism. There was a change in public opinion, but its ope ration was against that class legislation that had been pursued for so many years. The reaction was in the minds of our countrymen who had begun to think for themselves, and to consider things as they were, not as they wore inter ! preted by prejudice and . superstition. Let them be as sured that if they persisted in this course, they would produce a state of things in which not only would there ! be no quiet to the poor, but no safety to the rich. • For ithese reasons he called upon them to vote against the amend ment of the Noble Lord (Sandon). For his own pert he had never given a vote with greater satisfaction than the e ne he should g :ee against it and he should give because he thought the amendmei:t was ealculated to keep up the injury theyhad too ' , shit of of inflicting on the industrious mil long been in the ~. , (T em lions of this country.—e • Mr. BRISCOE rose, amid "each noise and confusion, and n. said he could not give a silent vote m.es this suliject, especially as 4 with rard it formed part of a new and enlightenee system e hmitted to the to our commercial policy, for the first time so 5 ,. 1 that the House by a united Cabinet.—( Hear.)

It was impossible that the country could go go on paying the present amount of debt, and double rental out of its present means. But he could not see how a tax of 6s, a quarter on imported corn wou'd make up the deficiency. The repe al of the Corn.laws would go to reduce wae ° e3. ( Hear, hear, from the Opposition benches.) He repeated, the only way in which a repeal cf the Corn-laws could assist the country was by enabling the manufacturers to obtain work at loner prices.—( Hear.) lie thought, therefore, that there should he further measure. , of reform, in order to benefit the nation at large. There had been la•ely a quotation in the Times of an opinion of his to the effect. that a repeal of the Corn-laws would not produce the desi!ed effect; but he had merely ,aid it world Lot p-o fuce the effect unless accompanied by other measures He had been reproached with inconsis tency on that subject , b ut Le SAW ne inconsistency in the course he had taken. F ormerl y all taxation fell on the la bouring cksses, and now it wa s attem p ted to remove it to the landed - interest ; but the landl ords were too wise to consent to the alteration. Unless they joined to a repeal of the Corn laws, a chancre in the monied system land would pass altogether out of the hands which now held it.—( Hear, hear.) He would rather impose a tax at once on preperty than repeal the existing protection of the landed interest. That appt ared to hi;n to be the fairer course. He had no object but the public good, and on that account he had frankly expressed his opinions. On the motion of Mr. SHEIL, the adjournment of the del.ate was then agreed to. Ihe other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Half past Twelve o'Clock. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. CHRONICLE.—The impatience of delay in the denoue meet of the ;rending crisis, manifested in the looks ant coevei we ion of the Tories, is very entertaining, nor is it unnatural. The English Tory lawyers, gaping for the good things which reported arrangements for the retirement of more than one English Judge, and the situations to be created by the Bill for the Reform cf the Court of Chancery, may place at the im mediate disposal of their patrons ; the Scotch Tory advocates, whose adhesion to their party, has been confirmed " iu the worst of times" by the assurance of the retirement of the Lord President, and one or two other venerable or nament; of the Scotch bench, on the advent of a Tory Ca binet ; and the Irish Orange lawyers wetting upon a simiar providence for the successor to Chief Justice Bushe and some others of his brethren, are in consternation for fear the expression of feeling from the country may become stronger with the protraction of the debate, and still lead to some :mei dent between the cup and the lip. It is said, also, that Sir James Graham is suffering severely from the agonies of expec tation and suspense, fearing that India may escape his grasp, and that the alarm.spread among the minor Tory expectants for places in diplomacy and at Court, and the 't ory jobbers of every description, both in and out of office—:he one set wailing for pensions on retirement, the other for places held by their confederates, through infirmity, inconve nience, and disqualificasitsn, for the happy advent for which they have been so lone desirous, is b •corning very serious, and likely to lead to the most fearful conse quences. We really pity them, and sincerely regret that any teeling for the wants, the miseries, and the lust claims of the suffering population should for one instant interfere with the fine castles in the air they have been building. The country knows full well their only object. The old crib and manner of their new ally, the pride of Westminster—the loaves anittishes good places for those in office—high rents for their sup porters without—what in comparison with such considerations, are the decay of trade in Leeds, Manchester, Glasgow Birming ham, and Bolton, or the starving condition of the thousands of artisans now wandering about these towns in want of employ ment or bread? and, as if to add insult to injury, in the desperate hope of covering their despicable designs, they would put on the new man and assume the hypocritical guise of the advocates of the Negro ! Of all Tory attempts to practise upon the credulity of the public this has been the losvess and the basest. An Anti- Slavery Orange and Tory Society , !I The explosion at Exeter Hall, every day's debate in the House of Commons, the meet ings throughout the country, have done much to disabuse the public, and to expose the Tory conspiracy against the interests of the -people. Delay and discussion are, therefore, most es sential, although necessarily disagreeable to the vultures, ho vering over their prey, as they suppose, within their reach. Everything tends to encourage in us the hope that the Miiiis : ters will not disappoint our reliance on their energy and deci sion, if their opponents should drive matters to extremities. When the time should arrive for the solution of the question of resignation or dissolution, no reason short of the impossibility of dissolution will satisfy the country that it should be delivered over, bound hand and foot, to Tory domination, without, at all events, giving the people an opportunity of making the best fight they can against monopoly and restriction. We know the difficulties either way. When we urged this course before, we did so without regard to cal culations made by either party, as to the chances of the returns to a new House of Commons. We know the opposi tion the Liberal party will have to struggle with in the coun ties, and against T3ry gold in the smaller boroughs. Still, we believe those most capable of forming a correct judgment see no reason to doubt as liberal a return as at the last election ; and think there are considerable chances of some improvement in it. Much, of course, depends upon the combined efferts of monopolists on one side, and upon the additional exertions which the hope of relief from their exactions may excite on the other. Rut we own that there are, in our opinion, even graver considerations, eh:eh would weigh in the decision of the question. The Government must have foreseen the extent of the present opposi' iou to their measures ; they could scarcely have calculated upon the assistance of the landed Aristocracy in the repeal of the Corn-laws of the East and West Indians, or Canadians, in interference with their monopolies. They must have looked to the people, solely, for support to carry plans intended for their advantage; and to the effect of the expression of public feeling and opinion for the removal of the pretudie. a and spprehensions of classes, whose interests might be partially affected by the proposed changes. If they refuse to give the people the opportunity of expressing their opinion, and of throwing their weight into the scale at. another election, they may have done greater harm than good to the cause of reform, whether in trade or in our institu tions, by the course they have taken. If we are to be delivered over to Sir Robert Peel, and it be left to his discretion when to dissolve this Parliament and call another, what must be the inevitable consequences? A large unmet ical majority in the House of Commons, brought together by a combination of class interests with the Tory party, or rather brought in opposition to the general interests of the community, by the joint purses of monopolists and the Carlton Club ? Vie feel confident that the G•werninent has too much good sense, good feeling, and patriotism, to subject. the Quern or the people to the oppression and danger of snch a state of things. We say more—if they do so, the day of the refusal of their liberal and well-meant budget will be one of annual mourning for some time to come, for the whole commu nity. Furthermore, we would impress upon Ministers the dangerous consequences to which a dissolution by the Tory party must lead. We understand the smooth march of Sir Robert Peel's administration for the remainder of this session—possibly in another session of the pre sent Parliament, until the questions of taxation, or Lord Stanley's Irish Bill should be forced upon him. But then would come the difficulties of his position. He must either go with the country, or with his party. The principles of the present budget, now fairiy mooted, will be insisted upon by the country. The Duke of Buck ingham, Lord Darlington, and their adherents will scarcely be more reconciled to them, even if supported with all the hypocrisy which has distinguished the opposition to the sugar duties. sit Robert will, probably, be governed by his tail in this case, as he was governed during the earlier part of his career in his c. , nst.int opposition to the removal of re ligious di-qualifications by the bigots of Oxford. In fact, he knows front some experience, what the slightest. deviation trot* a system of 'l'oryism and Orangt-ism must lead to. He can not reckon on support from the Whigs, nor would the Whip, without the 'tactical section of the Liberal party, be sufficient to sufficient to counterbalance the desertion of his l'ory allies, on the slightest symptom of concession to the people. His necessi ties would, therefore, drive him to a dissolution, for greater numerical power in the House of Commons, to enable him to govern against the principles of the budget. Be may find it from the sources we have stated ; and what are the consequences ? Nho desires to see the battle fairly begun, between the masses, aggrieved by monopoly, possibly suffering the greatest privations fyom further decline in trade, their interests represented and supported by the members of the great towns of the empire, and urged and en forced boldly by a hostile press on the one side, and the Tory landed aristocracy, banded with class interests, contendin g for exclusive advantages on the ether ? And yet this may seem to be the condition of the country, if the present crisis is not dealt with calmly, prudently and with determination. Tory gentlemen, lawyers, and plat e-hunters—patience we pray you. Your prey may still fall into your hands. We hope not ; but at all events, do not quarrel with those who feel deeply the gravity of the cir cumstances in which we are placed, and who are more con cerned in finding bread for the hungry, and employment for the distressed, than in pandering to the lust for place or power in any party of the State. We pray, in spite of your impa tience, for a little delay, and much more consideration, befere it is deeded that no other course can be taken than to drliver the affairs of the country to your benevolent and disinterested administration. ADVERTMER.—There is but one opinion, we perceive, among the Liberal press as to the course which the Govern ment ought to take in the too probable event of the Tories ob taining a majority on this debate. It is true that the Tory , ournalists hold a different I 'nguage, which makes but a stro.ger reason in fivotir of it. The feeling of the country too, which is daily becoming stronger on behalf of the Minis terial measures, constitutes another reason for taking the bold, the honourable course of a dissolution, in preference to the questionable one of a resignation. We agree well our Contemporary the Examiner, that there is ne reason to believe that the Ministry contemplate the reverse, and that there ought to be question about the matter; but the voice of the charmer may not be without its influence, and there fore we venture our deprecatory growl. It is enough that the crooked and the wrong course has been suggested by the enemy ; it would he a foolish thing to abstain from utter ing our sentiments thi owl' any feeling of delicacy, for by one of those caprices of honour, which sometimes dictate the wrong line of action, the proper line may not be taken, and there may afterwards remain nothing but lamentation for the general si lence on the subject. To the country, to the Queen, to them selves, the dinistry owe a dissolution, as the only means of obtaining -treneth to carry out their excellent measures. Till now a revisal of our tariff, the modification of cur Corn-laws, and the abolition of monopolies, have been a dream, which it was pleasant' enough to hope to see realised, but tar beyond any present expectation. The subject, too, is in itself so com plicated, that the public is only just acquiring a glim e;ering notion of all the advantages proposed. And the Teeete i skilful humbugs ! know so well how to appeal to the prejudices of the people, and to take hold of their most amiable feelings—in. 4 . selling direction, that it requires a little time and opportunity gl.posc them. This debate will do much— in spite of the soft i4.wder of sir Robert Peel—to open their -es but it %via not do enough. Every man in the country eye - --de to feel that the question is put to himself per must be U. end not his representative, incurs the ye, sonally ; that he, • liesides 4 , n h v o u w t : t el_i e s m h t i: t g oo, it t h r e " t . q i h i u r i e e b s e -: sponsibility of tee result. to meet the Tories on the hustings—. lion, and it may be to the pledge. tne., - ctanley, with the subtilty of Peel, or the assurance or ... may encounter, scatheless, the ordeal ; but the lesser fry wilt wtithe under the torture, and mar their loaders' cautious tactics. These are important advantages, which would be lost if we did not give battle to the enemy at once. Resign, and let Peel dissolve at his own time. He would con trive to interpose something between one event and the other, which would damp the credit of the Liberals, and mend his own case. Strike while the iron is hot. Give the enemy no advantage. Let the public see by the promptitude, the energy, and the uncompromising manner in which the battle is fought, that those snarlers who pretend that the present measure is dhertothe that the Government intend a tome. shafts of calumny by which the offiLergilwblhyet causeataparresr.atyd ds l ih : : i e g h it as 'a h n a a on v bt e watched for several years the steps of been so foolishly injured during the last y the Government, lamenting, indeed, at times the feeble. ness of their movements, but compelled afterwards to acknow - - leitge that they saw their occasion, and took advantage of it. Still we must be permitted to observe, that the present is not one in which they can indulge in too great nicety of demean. our. Th e c alm and aristocratic bearing that suits the palace and the drawing-room, is inapt for the battle-field ; nor is it a time to act according to the mere etiquette of party. It is a nation's cause, whim must be fought with zeal and enter . prise, as if the very fate of the country depended upon the 1 " ,10 , as in truth it does ; fur without our manufactures and our commerce, our proseerity is lost, and the maintenance of them depends upon the success of the Government mea sures. The Tories ( who, by the by, do not crow so loudly as they did a week ago, before the Anti-Slavery party had repudiated the false tactics of their Committee, and the country had had time to pronounce at all on the question) say that the Duke has threatened, if he come into power, to dissolve again if the Whip dissolve now. Be it so; on him be the responsibility. This is nothing but a ruse to induce the Whigs to forego their opportunity. What eould he do if he were in power? Why zs he did in the Pen nsula, and every v:here e se, fight when he could, and be prepared for the next battle when it came. So must the Whigs act. Dissolve and tieht. Ir is not among impossible things, but very probable, that many Tories, when put to the question, will shim their own policy, and that many others will be beaten. We say again that the case is new—that when the people know it in all its bearings, they will decide rightly, and that if we conquered in boroughmongering times, there are more than ten chances to one that we shall succeed now, and that we shall have a more liberal Parliament than we have had fur many years. TIMES.--II a plain man were desirous of understanding the question nhich has now occupied the House of Commons for the unexampled period of seven nights, and for that purp ose were to wade thr o u g h th e dreary desert of tedious debate which those seven nights have produced, he might p robably rise from his task with a ll his ideas of truth and talsehood ute terly confounded. whether he regarded the strange manner in which the sreak.s , on both sides of the House (for we teel it our duly to be impartial), have shifted their ground in argu ment, replying in effect to themselves and reasoning as if two con tradictory propositions criu►d stand together, or whether he contrasted the pompous magniloquence of the premises ad vanced, on one side at least, with the miserable inconsi'quence and imbecility of the conclusions derived from them, he would be equally disconcert , d. And it he happened to know some thing of the lives and characters, of the former professions, or of the present conduct and language on collateral subjects, of the actors on this motley stage, he might perhaps view the whole discussion as a political game of blind-man's-buff, or a rhetorical exercise of that peculiar school which teaches that language is the instrument for concealing thoughts. Under this description we rio not, of course, mean to include the speech orLord Stanley, which had the exclusive merit of stating and arguing with fairness and ability the real question at i , sue, or to deny the praise of sincerity to such men as Mr. Glad. stone, Dr. Lushington, and several others who might be named on both sides of the House. 1 t looks odd, to say the least of i t,to see the champions- of the, West India interest arguing a sugar question upon purely philanthropic principles, from an abstract horror of the slave trade. But it is odder still to him. Messrs. Hume, Hawes, Ward, and James, the champions of the New Poor-law and of infant labour in our factories, pathetically descanting► upon the horrors of white slavery at home, and to be told by a Whig Lord of the Treasury (Mi'. J. Parker). in the very S:ssion wren the Whigs have been straining every nerve to carry out the extreme principles of the Poor-law Commissioners, that "in pre,erving the rights of the negro ) oputation, they do not at the same time forget the rights of the people of England,"—that " they are advocates of humanity, but their humanity is of a large character,"—that '• they are as much advocates of humanity for the people of England as for the negroes of the West Indies." 'I he people of England will never forget, that in 1833 these same Vs higs increased the permanent burdens ti the country by a loan of 20,000,00 A. for negro ernanci l a. ion, and that iu 1834 they passed a measure for suspending the con stitutiorial rights, and filching away the legal inheritance, of the English poor. And it. has a singular sound, when Ministers, who do not suffer an ounce of sugar to find its way into the union wsrkhouses, represent that article as one of the necessa ries of life. POST.—Everybody asks why this debate in - the House of Commons is dragged on to such a tedious and wearisome length? The answer is threefold. First, that. Ministers ex pect. to be beaten, which is a very disagreeable thing, and to which even custom has nut reconciled them; they, therefore, keep back the division as long as they can. Secondly, that Ministers are very apprehensive that the division, whenever it does come, will have the effect of turning them out, wi h very little chance of getting back again through so clever &Palace trick as they , managed two years ago; and that, as every day's salary is something, they wish to prolong to the very latest hour possible their claim upon the Trea sury for pecuniary competition. Thirdly, that they have persualed themselves that by degrees something like an agitatinn for " free trade in everything," as Joseph Iluirie says, may be got up in the country, and give them a sort of ex cuse for pretending that the country and the House are not. of one opumn. Very probably all three motives .re operating together, aid as they are all of them very worthy ofV.e pre• sent Administration. But, whatever be the reason of the de lay, the thin.. ' itself is very wearisome, and we had almost said disgusting. We hope that, whatever trick or stratagem may be at the bot om of this Ministerial policy, the Conservatives will no longer submit to it, but compel the Government to take a vote of the House upon the question which has now been be fore it since Friday week, GLOBE.—The effect upon the Tories of the popular movement now in progress throughout the land, is seen in the careful suppression by the Tory Journals of an allusion to the meetings, and to the petitions which ema nate from them, in favour of the measure for a moditiration and material reduction of the fiscal duties which the Government has proposed to Parliament. Except where a company of Chartists, prompted by Tory instigations and paid by Tory gold, have been found base or mad enough to disturb the proceedings of a meeting convened for the purpose of petitioning in favour of these measnres, not a hint is found in the Tory Metropolitan Journals of any such meetings. They would leave it to be inferred that the country cares as little for the great question which has occu pied the House of CoMmons in close and earnest debate during the whole of the past week, and is still pending, as it would for the fate of a turnpike Bill. This silence speaks, more forcibly than words could express, the deep mortification under which the recently elate Tories are now suffering, produced by the irre pressible consciousness that her Majesty's Minister.; have succeeded in raising tot interest in the public mind, which is sufficiently powerful, because it is based on measures sound and salutary, instinct with the elements of true national prosperity, to carry theta through the crisis which threatened them with defeat. The House of Commons will probably negative these measures, as the resolutions which embody their principles are,, in succession, subniitted to its decision. But the ultimate appeal is to the country. The corn monopoly—the timber monopoly—and the sugar mono poly—that Mammon-trinity which the class interests agree to worship and to serve, in order that they may respectively secure their individual gains at the cost of the nation's weal, will combine their energies to defeat the free-trade advocates at the hustings, as they have com bined to defeat the free-trade measures in the House of Commons. That they will be able to effect their purpose, we have no apprehensions. They Will fight the battle of their class-interests under circumstances less favour able than any contest for the ascendancy of a mere poli tical party ever presented. The long endurance of deep and widely-extended physical sufferings, from which the people saw no prospect of relief from either of the two great parties engaged in conflict with nearly equally balanced powers, has led to a distrust of both. The Government has roused the country from this apathy, by proposing a prize worthy of its exer tions, to secure which nothing is requisite but a calm, firm determination. Mere political changes may be doubtful in their results on the public weal. They may be counteracted by fraud and force, or rendered in , effective by public apathy. But untrammelled commerce —the deliverance of trade from the fetters in which the mistakes of legislators have bound it for centuries, now attempted by the Government, and to enable them to carry out which the. electoral bodies of the country will he appealed to, is no problematical matter—no mere airy speculation, but a solid, substantial good—a prize worth contending for with energy. The people feel that it is their I?fe ; for it comprehends the means by which life is to be preserved, and rendered worth possessing, to those who live by labour. COURIER.—The Advertiser, which, it is only fair to say, is shooting far ahead of its Ministerial coadjutor of the Chronicle in the quantum of Ministerial confidence received, and Ministerial revelations made by it, has a tale this morning about Mr. T. B. Macaulay and Lord Alinto, from which it would appear that those Right Honour able persons are the only two members of the Cabinet entertaining conscientious scruples respecting the con stitutional right of the Ministry to dissolve their own house of Commons in the coming conjuncture of a de feat. Certainly nobody did suspect sentiments so right minded in the exclusive quarters referred to, and we shall be well satisfied to find the report confirmed. Time was when the principles of constitutional law were so much bet ter understood and practised than in these latter days, even by the Whigs and in unreformed Parliaments, that a Ministry daring to dissolve a Parliament of their own calling before its term of service was completed, would not only have been held to deserve, but would have been formally visited with, impeachment. There is, and there can be no Lgitimate pretence for a dissolution. Neither the Ministers nor the Journals in their employ venture the slightest expression of hope of a possible majority in a new Parliament; even summoned by themselves ; but, on the contrary, it is admitted, with unblushing effron tery, that the majority must be the other way. The only object, therefore, to be achieved—and that object is boasted of as a meritorious piece of tactics, in stead of being what it really is, contemptible trickery —is, by the dissolution and summons of a new House of Commons, whilst still in command of the public purse, to make a last convulsive effort, by the un shrinking and unprincipled alliance of every possible res6urce which Government influence. corruption, and prodigal expenditure can supply, to obtain the return to e new Parliament Of the strongest minority possible, so as the better to be enabled to embarrass, and ultimately to oust, the Ministry by which they shall be succeeded. Such are thepure and patriotic aspirations of these official desperadoes: STANDARD.—It is asserted positively to-day, and what is much more extraordinary, it is almost universally believed, that, at the Cabinet Council held on Saturday, Ministers ' came to a definitive resolution to resign, in the event of an unfavourable division on the Sugar Duties. The discussion is said to have been long and animated, and the advocates for a dissolution were ear nest and warm in their endeavours to bring over to their opinion the more discreet portion of their col- leagues, who recommended an adherence to the old constitutional practice of tendering their resignation to their Sovereign, when themselves unable any longer to carry on the Government.

TIMES.—By the New York papers it appears that the scheme of a National Bank, which many believe •to be a favourite project with the present Government, i 3 still much iscussed. Formerly the notion was prevalent of an entirely new and gigantic institution, to be raised by the subscriptions of the States, while now there appears to an inclination to believe that one of the existing banks would he selected. and there are several conjectures that the New York Bank of Commerce would be preferred. The State stocks have ge nerally improved, principally because of the abundance of money ; and with respect to the State of Illinois, on ac count of the renewal of a loan due on the let inst., which it is expected will render possible the paymmt of the July divi dend. The New York market is altogether in a healthy state. The Revenue Bill that has passed the senate of Pennsylvania and at the date of the latest intelligence, was under discussion in the House of Representatives by the name of '• The Relief Bill." contains a clause which provides that the stockholders of the United States Rank shall be enabled to authorize the President and Directors to assign all the effects of the bank, each shareholder voting according to the number of shares entered in his name, in the ratio fixed by the old charter. The object of this enactment would seem to be to enable everybody concerned in the bank to make a general disposkl tor the benefit of c,editors. POST.—The permanent funds improved a fraction this morning, a change which is imputable to the nocesity always existing day by day for the investment of moneys under every aspect of our national affairs, and, as far as we can learn co judge, to that alone. Exchequer Pills, as well as India Rends, again declined. The former are, in fact, rapidly run ning, as the latter had previously done, to a discounr, and, apart from political considerations, without any intelligible cause. 'I he value of such securities ought, however, in pro priety to be referred to, rather than that of Consols, as a crite rion whence is to be derived an idea, it not a positive know ledge, of the popular feeling and popular expectation on mat ters connected with the legislative movements in progress and in prospect. The commercial letters brought by the Great Western steamer from New York speak more encouragingly of the state of trade in the United States. European manufactures were in some demand, and we understand that the orders which have come forward for fresh supplies from England are more liberal than hail been looked for. This is no doubt owing in a great measure to the fact that the 111‘Leod affair was pretty sure to be ansicalAy settled. CORN-LAW CRISIS. (From the Liverpool Albion.) - • As far as words can effect it, the ReforMers of Liver pool are supporting the line of policy announced by Lord John Russell to the very uttermost. But, at a crisis like the present, they should act upon the maxim, " Deeds. not words," or, at all events, prove the sincerity of their professions by following them up with a prac tice in accordance. It is of no use to meet anti talk eloquently and energetically about the blessing: of plenty and the beauty and advantages of cheap bread, sugar, and timber, unless they are prepared to express the same opinions at the hustings also, and to drive from the representation of the borough the men who are opposed to the interests of the great bulk of the electors and the public at large. At present, how does the case stand ? We are, by our talk ing loudly and doing nothing, the laughing-stock of the whole country. We have constantly been urging Lord Melbourne's Administration to make advances in a Liberal policy, while we have not given them the least , support when they have • done so. We have paralysed the exertions of Manchester, and the manufacturing districts, in behalf of free trade, by practically telling the • Legislature, that the people of Liverpool are not desirous to remove any of the restrictions which now impede the commerce and trade of the country, but quite satisfied to maintain the state quo which exists. We furnish the monopo lists with arguments that no ingenuity, no sophistry, no expenditure of words and talk can cope with in the least. - They say, and ! they have a right to say it, while we return . men of their mind to Parliament, " Pooh ! Pooh ! These meetings, these cla mours do but, after all, emanate from a disappointed and feeble minority. The proof of the pudding (to use a homely proverb) is in the eating.' If, therefore, the people of Liverpool are really opposed to the Corn laws and would have the duties on sugar and tim ber reduced, why do they send to • Parliathent two men who are stanch advocates of monopoly Let us see them expel Lord Sandon and Mr. Cresswell from the representation of the town, and then we will believe that a change has taken place in their senti ments. But, until then, if you please, we must be al lowed to class Liverpool amongst the bulwarks which support the present system and prop up monopoly and legislation for class interests." Tits is all very fair, and not a word can we say against it. But, turning to the electors of Liverpool, we ask them, whether they will allow such a reproach to remain ?' Will they, by a continued display of apathy and indifference, sacrifice their •own interests and mar their own prospects ? We feel confident, that, if the steam could be pro perly got up, two advocates of free trade might easily be returned for Liverpool. At the two last elec tions there were hundreds of voters, professing Liberal opinions who never went to the hustings at a ll. S ome were disgusted because the Ministers had adopted what they called a do-nothing policy, whilst others, without so strong a feeling on the subject, yet found in the same policy a reason for shrinking into a neutrality which might screen them from giving effence to patrons or customers. But all this has passed away now. 'the very end for which the Re form Bill was carried is now set before the people as the prize of victory. No one can now hang back from the want of an object of sufficient magnitude to contend for. No one can remain in neutrality under the plea that there is no line of distinction between the two great parties which are struggling for the govern ment of the country. That line has suddenly been widened into an impassable gulf. The rival States men who, at one time, certainly did appear to be approxi mating to something very like an identity -of have, all at once, hoisted hostile colours, and plunged into a state of warfare more bitter and desperate than they were ever engaged in before. " For the People" is the motto which we once more see embla zoned on the banner of Lord Melbourne and his friends ; while " Against the People," and " War to the Knife," are the battle-shout of the Tories, as they press forward to the encounter. And what will the electors of Liver pool do at this most momentous crisis ? Will tlley de clare for or against dear bread, dear sugar, and dear timber ? Will they again send men to Parlia ment who will not only • maintain all these necessary articles at their present high prices, but, to enable them to do so, must lay on at least two millions of taxes ; must, moreover, diminish, to an incalculable extent, the trade which we at present carry on with the Brazils, and provoke fresh duties upon our 'ma nufactured goods both in Germany and the United States ! 'These are points which especially interest the merchants of Liverpool. But every tradesman, every. shopkeeper, every working-man is equally interested in carrying out a system which will increase demand and employment in every branch. What will they do ? We shall soon see. The leaders of the people have proved themselves true to them. Will the people be true to their leaders and to themselves ? If they will not, then will they sanction and will deServe every pri vation and every misery which Toryism can inflict upon them. Elector's of Liverpool, what say you ? We wait your verdict with much anxiety. '' '''' LAW INTELLIGENCE. HOUSE OF LORDS May 17. The House sat to-day to hear appeals. The Peers present were the Lord Chancellor, the Duke of Bedford, and the Earl of Beverley. CANTER V. PALMER, The arguments on this part-heard case were resumed this morning. The case came before their Lordships upon appeal from the decision of the Court of Chancery in Ireland. The question in the case related to the amount to which the appel lant was entitled for certain incumbrances on the estats of the respondent. which he had purchased. Sir W. FoLtirrr to-day addressed their Lordships on behalf of the respondent, following Mr. I inney, and having closed his arguments on behalf of the respondent, :11r. R. Bauc E replied, and 'I he LORD CHANCELLOR postponed giving judgment. PRIVY COUNCIL, May 17. WOOD AND OTHERS, t 7. noonLAicE. The arguments in this long litigated cause were resumed this morning before the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, when their Lordships heard Sir Frederick Pol!ock on the part of Air. Hitchens, one of the next of kin of the testator. '1 he Learned Gentleman contended that it was the duty of the other executors, when acquainted with the circum stances, to have told Mr. Chadwick that his conduct had been so strange, so irregular, and so unprofessional, that they could not consent to be even tacit parties to: it, but would impound the document, and take the opini m of this Court whether or not under the circumstances, it was entitled to ttrobate. Sir FREnEtticx POLLOCK having concluded his address, Mr. Sergeant Bourns briefly followed on the same side. Mr. WIGRAM (with whom was Dr. Phillimore) then rose to address their Lordships on behalf of Mrs. Goodlake, one of the next of kin, and was speaking when their Lordships ad journed.

For a copy of the homilies of Haimon, Bishop of Halberstadt, she is re. corded to have given two hunched sheep, twelve measures of wheat, a similar quantity of rye, and as much millet; several marten skins, and eight mares of silver. in another place, we hear of a mona.ter y having been built w;th the price of a fa mous lui-sal, which a Viscount of Thouars compelled the monks of St. Florent to give up to him in the year 1069.
