MORN'IN`G iTsITION ' SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY CHRONICLE.—No contrast could be more striking than that between the speeches of Lord Palmerston and Se- Robert Peel, on Tuesday night. Lord Palmerston applied hia.s.-11 boldly to the question, which he discussed in the most fearless and un reserved manner. His positions were conceived with clearness, and his deductions were close and irresistible. His language, too, did justice to his thoughts. There was no wire-drawing —no overlaying—every sentence, every clause, was pregnant with meaning. Sir Robert Peel, on the other hand, was con stantly looking two ways. He was constantly steering between opposite principles, saving one moment and unsaying the next; sod though it was impossible to refuse him the meed of clever , ness and tact, yet the cleverness was often wasted on matters of secondary importance, and at the close of his long speech the hearer found it difficult to form to himself anything like a dis tinct idea of what the Right Hon. Baronet had been so i ously advancing. The effect of Lord Palmerston's speech, on the other hand, was distinct and unbroken. Every proposi tion went distinctly home to the hearer, and the indistinct im pressions left by Sir Robert Peel were dispelled by it, as the images of night are by the light of the morning. TIMES.—As the Melbourne Min.stry, during the last See years. have spun out a wretched existence by alt sorts of die creditable shifts, so, in the prospect of that ignominious exit which now stares them in the face, they seem determined, like other incorrigibles. to die desperately hard, or rather, if possi ble, to postpene and evade their fate. Indeed, their entire career, trim their first alliance with O'Connell down t 4 the sinlden concoction. of their panic budget, presents nothing m , ore than a un form course of mean and dishonest exped.ents, resorted to for the one sole purpose of providing for their lami lies, and of pro'onging their official subsistence. Their confede racy with the Li h Agitator was originally formed, not beceuse they approved of it on principle, but because in their noto.ious weakness and necessities it was indispensable to their selfi-h desi ins. Could they have obtained a venal English majority, equally disposed to keep them in power at the price of so many measures p r Session fa-hioned to that majority's mind, the Irish Tait would have been as much defied and scouted as, on the co:ttrary, it has been courted and caressed. Principle has been wholly out of the question. In point of fact, they mor tally hate O'Connnell, because his dear-bought connection with them is at once the badge and the usurious premium of their neediness. they detest the fellow's bullying and extor tions —but they are lain to submit to them, because without O'Connell they would have been without office, without palace favours, witliout the public purse, and without the re quisite patronage to pen-ion their rapacious clique. ADVERTISER.—Pending the solution of the question— to resign or to dissolve ?—all others lose, for a moment, their im p .r-ance. To-night will probably bring the announcement of the result of the deliberations of the Government, and an intimation of its future course. We await, with anxiety, this result, not doubting what it should be, yet tearing lest by some mischance, that which is so much to be desired may unfortu nately not he accorded. We believe, however, that the pro bability is, that the Government will persevere in laying be fore Parliament and the country the several measures which co:npose the Budget, especially the proposed modifi ratio.' of the Corn-laws, and that., if defeated on them, it will dissolve Parliament and appeal to the country. This is the course desired by the great majority of the party who have sup ported the Government, and it is at once the most just and the most prurient ; for, if a contrary course be pursued, the impu tation of the Tories, that their measures have been taken up for the occasion, will appear to have been well-founded, white it is due to the people to give them an opportunity of vindi cating their own rights, if the Government be unable to give elect to then: by any other means HERALD.—As a national agitation, the Corn-law enteutc is a most miserable piece of imposture, and is as much indebted to the inventive Towers of those whose especial delight it is to magnify it as a momentous struggle, as the siege of Troy was to the poetical geMus of Homer. Where is the gathering of the messes to be seen ? Wt here is the concentration of the ma• poindi to be heard? An Irish echo, which is proverbial for ( r i vi ng correct answers, would reply—hardly anywhere ! Meet la , g there are in abundance, which the pen of the practised repor t e r by habit (fa- we need not impute the exasperation to ane thi e ,; worse) styles numerous and respectable ;" but where are tse public meeting public in the sense that the existence of a peat national agitation would i m ply Of the few which hare been called, be it observed, the enti-Corn levi party hive been defeated 'at more than they have saceeded, ae at Sunder!. nd. Birmingham, &c., and no vender, eeerefere, that thep are extremely cautious in ru:oning the rtk of anythieg 1 ke a fair and comprehensive demonstra tio.: of public ..pinion. Their resource is to get up the sem blance of an agiettien by knots and sections—to pack the small /lining-room of an hotel as in Westminster, or to huddle to gether in a school-room as at Stourbridge, or to take refuge in a hired committee .room as at Edinburgh. But a hundred such picked audepacised meetings altogether no mo:e make one public meeti l is than a hundred black rabbits would make o t es click horse. 1 3 :1 4 .5T- —What will happen next? The Ministers have • been s.trealle beaten in the Howse of Commons urn a ques tion which immedia•ely concerns the means of earning on the Governreett, They have been beaten—not by surprise —not upon any unconsidered question—not in a House of in seeietenr. numbers to give the sense of the whole—but they have been beaten after, perhaps, the longest debate upon re s,ard—after the fullest consideretion.of the question—and in a kisouse where more than 600 out of the 6.51 Members were actuary present ! . What next ? Strange that it should be left to us to ask. It is a disgrace to the Administration that there should be anything like a public doubt upon the subject. W t.at next ? Why, what can be, hut resignation of office ? The lin isterial party have often taunted their opponents that they, even if in office, could not govern the country. That is matter of conjecture, but VI e apprehend it is nn matte,- of conjecture now, but =leer of fact, that the present Minister; esusint govern the country. How can they, when the very first of e pro posed means for raising the necessary moneys for the petblic expenses has been rejected by a decisive majority of the whole House of Corn:eons? They tnay say what they will of their opponents, but these own time for turning out has at all events come. They cannot go on with the Government. To at tempt desperately to cling to office after the power of govern ing had been thus taken away by the House of Commons, would, we imagine, lead to consequene:s which even these in fatuted 'Ministers would not like to fare. They have already alone n:uch to produce the deep disgust of the leo* of Eng lend—let them beware of that people's indignation. GLOBE. —sir ..ltobcrt Feel has thrown away his last chance of peroanently passb:g for a statesman, as dis tlnguished f..oin a party chief. For this purpose, dex terity in deb%te., and party tactics, are insufficient. There must be force of character, and directness of purpose. The L - nke of Wt lington showed these, when he linked Lis name with Emancipation. Peel allowed himself to be dragged into that measure, as it were, with reluct ance. Ihtskisson -showed these, when lie linked his name with enlarged 04mmercial policy. Peel blows hot; and cold on. that policy, with utter careless ness Of its public moment. In short, really distin guished statesmen are such by character. Peel has only been such by contrast—a "'Triton among the minnows." Nobody mistook him for a great man in his earlier • period. He could. bear no comparison with the genius of Canning, or the dauntless and decided spirit of Cas tlereagh. - In the mild decline of the orb of Toryism, _Peel twinkled forth. His mission (to borrow the phrase • of certain schools of philosophy) was to cover the decadence, and break the fall, of his party—to put the best face upon the defence, or the surrender, of pre judices—and tote ready for the one or the other, just as might seem to serve the time. With this mission he has endeavoured to combine a certain individual dis -tinction, and to take credit for the superior liberality of dais Toryism, at every surrender of its stronglu2ds which Yoe made to opinion. To maintain this distinction would, however, have required to possess that quality of mind in which Sir R. Peel has shown his deficiency—ii defi ciency the most fatal to all permanent reputation for .statesmanship.•: . No man has acquired that charac ter, who (besides Parliamentary talents) has not shtiwn a real value for great public objects, independent of party.. Will any one inform us what objects Sir Robert Peel has ever regarded except as counters in the game which lie had to play for himself and his party ? lie has missed the palm of statesmanship, less by con traction of intellect than by coldness of heart—which, indeed, is inconsistent with the greatest enlargement of mind. He has even missed the confidence and reliance of his party—for precisely the same qualities which make him its MCPC. plausible organ, snake him indisposed Jo commit himself too far, or run too great risks for it. ,STANDARD.—The attempt to enlist the country in the ..t,nti-corn-law agitation has already manifestly failed, and :he fidlare will become more rapidly progressive and .wee plainly apparent from day• to day. There is n 4) I,ithix in such cases. The people, who have re fused to lid the Ministerial sedition, give by their con duct an eibestenition to others who have not thoroughly weighed t:ie sidleets to consider the arguments by which themselves have been convipced. But reflection is a ll that is ever- required to put Englishmen in Ale right path. . Let them only give their sound un aerstanding- fair play,and they will never go wrong.Jlt is true that t e Common Council of London has decided in favour of . the Ministerial project, and true also that a meeting at Manchester has 13u"orth a similar decision. This is what eve r y one • anticipated ; but few Conservatives,_ „, we imagine, were so :sanguine as to hope, that expected demonstrations shonkl really so tiivourable to their views, so fatal to be -ofwtelie Ministers and agitators, as they the prospects wish to speak respectfully of the I.l l . A a ) l n 'e do P ri vet Common Council, but it is not to be denied, and mejority the Council will, no doubt, a boast of it, that thit body has, for more than thirty supportedie party now in office.

Ma=llM.=•Ml a►IONEY MARKET and CITY KEW& P 13.031 THE mosNING PAPERS OF YESTE RDAY. CHRONICLE.—There is a peculiar class-interest in the City, known under the appellation of " bullion dea lers," ver y much alarmed t h a t t h e repeal of the Corn-laws would have the effect 43° raising the price of gold, to send abroad in payment of the food that would then be imported. We are rather in clined to suspect that " the wish is father to the thought " with this class of gentlemen, and may, perhaps, be at the bottom of their fears for the position of the old lady of 'Threadneedle -street when the people of this country are—as relieved they certainly soon must be—from the fetters of the cursed bread-tax. There is great :allacy in the assumption that a fixed duty on Corn -would drain the Bank of England, but the heresy is neverthe less not confined to the money changers. A member of the Common Council yesterday asked, " Did honourable gentle men want to bring the Bank of England agaia to such a de graded position ai that its governors should have to go again on their knees to beg assistance of the Bank of France?" .And there are many persons who entertain the same en tinCQUS b e lief ; acme aifccc to believe it, no doubt, who know better, In order ti gain their own ends ; but others, perhaps, give a fair and honest credit to the statement. They would not do ~- so, we are persuaded, if they cor.sidered the question in its try. sense. The drain of gold in 14.39, which compelled the Bank of England to apply for a loan from the Bank of France, ass no diosibt produced by the bad harvest of 1838; but the pressure to the Bank coffers was greatly increased by their own blunders, keeping money cheap , and incre asing their notes in circulation after they saw the deficiency of the how growth attempting . in short, as usual , to fill up the gap in their gold by art expansion of the currency. The radical mistake of that system of management has been so often exposed, that it will not, probably, occur again. If the Foreign Exchanges he in future unfavourable, we shall confi dently expect to find that the Directors of the Bank of Eng_ laud will promptly reduce their circulation, and, by so ope ratiwg on prices, assist giving a f a vourable torn to the balance tcfsde. If they adhere to that rule of conduct, they ;hill find elves better able to grapple vast any similar ernefgeney sl ,4t render a recurrence of it to the same extent k SUN, LONDON, PTITDAV. MAY 2i, 1F441 almost impossible, because the ready fall of prices in this country would send back the gold for goods to the English market, or prevent it from leaving the country. These re marks would apply if the country were to be prohibited under the iron grip of the present prohibitory system, which cramps and cripples all its energies and powers of production ; but when we come to consider how the Foreign Exchanges would stand under a system of free trade, and more especially under a moderate fixed duty on foreign corn, we shall find that such a state cf things would be much more in favour of this country. The clear and natu ral result of it would be to steady the supply and demand, and to equalize prices. It might at first be supposed that when the Bs. duty came in force there would be an immense extent of orders sent out for foreign corn, and that these orders would necessarily be paid for in gold, thus draining the Bank and turning the exchanges against this country. But the substitu tion of a fixed dui y for a sliding scale, would not produce such a consequence. It unquestionably would strengthen the Bank of England when the system had time to operate, because the corn would then be paid for by British manufactured goods. At the commencement of the new system, the amount of orders for importation would depend upon the price of the home growth. Supposing, for instance, that a duty of eight shillings was to take effect at present, when the average price being about 645. to 68s. the duty is ties. Bd., there would be a diminution of duty on foreign corn at once of 14s. Bd. But the price of best Dantzic at present at that port is about 335., and the result of the change would in crease that price considerably, so that if we add 6s. for freight and charges, and allow for factor's commis ion and other expenses, besides the fixed duty, the price at whi h it could be sold in the home market would not be under 545. ; and it is to be remembered that the best foreign wheat is in. ferior both in weight and fineness, to our English wheat. We should, therefore, have a reduction i the price, of perhaps eight shillings a quarter on our growth, or about halt the amount of the difference of duty. The 'rice, then, of Eng lish wheat would be about 565. a quarter ; and while there was a sufficient supply of it at about that price, there would be no occasion to send much gold out of the country, to import an inferior article from abroad; at least the people would not be obliged to buy it for food ; and it is not likely that speculators would run the risk of importing it to keep in bond to wait a change. The bonding trade would be materially diminished, because the "rice, being no longer subject to the fraudulent system of averages, importers would not require to keep a large stock on hand. They could at all times deliver their'shiprnents quickly to supply the demand under a fixed duty. Under the proposed change in the Corn-laws the Bank would only be called upon, even in the first instance, to find gold, in the event of a scarcity of the home supply. There could be no heavy im portation of foreign earn at the first movement of the change, if the forthcoming harvest be propitious, and before another season comes round, the increased demand for British manufac tures from the Continent, the Brazils, and the United States, consequent upon the modification of our tariff, would give such a preponderating turn to the balance of trade in favour of Eng land, that the Bank would be entirely relieved from uneasi ness on the score of bullion. It is not, however, our object or our province to follow out the subject into its ultimate settled consequences. We Con fine ourselves to a consideration of the immediate influence which the substitution of a fixed duty on corn, for the sliding scale, would produce on the bullion in the Bank of England, and have eneeavoured to show that the fears of those are fal lacious who say it would cripple the establishment by drawing off its gold. An Bs. fixed duty would be first of all attended with a fall in the price of English wheat. and arise in the price of foreign. The immediate fall would not exceed what we have stated. When the supply on the Continent and in Ame rica, however, came to find its level with the increased demand the fall would be greater. But that is a matter beyond our present purpose and our province. It is enough for us to state here that if the fixed duty of Bs. be carried, the people are sure of a cheap loaf, and plenty of employment for the manu facturing population. Consider, on the other hand, what wou'd be the consequence of persevering in the present prohibitory system. The tight , Hess of the Money :Market would necessarily continue jwith stagnation of trade. There would be constant but ineffectual endeavours to bolster up the Exchanges, and to give them a healthy feature, whip the bullion, at something und e r 5,000,0001., not half what it ought to be, and, with another bad harvest, would be totally incapable of enabling the Bank to weather •he storm. Sir. Robert Pee! must entertain a ve r y l ow o pi n i on o f th e intellect of the people of England if he suppose they will be deluded by his assumed prosperity of the manufacturing inte rests, deduced from a reference to the figures of exports. There is not a weaver in any of our manu!acturing towns who does not know that the increase is confined to arti cles in which the lowest amount of labour is expended, and that in the highest quality of manufactured goods there is a )early and a steady decline which the opening up of our Aus tralian world is unable to compensate, and which the shutting up of the Brazil and American markets would most ruinously increase. A change from monopoly to free trade is essential to the safety of the Bank of England. TiSIES.—The debate on the sugar duti..s, which entirely absorbed public attention, having at length come to a con clusion, people in the City are beginning toturn their thoughts to foreign eta rs, especially to the present position of the Regent of Spin, which is naturally interesting to the great body of creditors in this country. The great point of discussion is whether Espartero will be able to main tain his position, and whether, which is nearly the same question, Spain is to have any or no government. , The principal mercantile houses who communicate : with Spain, and are most careful in watching the opera tions in that unfortunate country, seem to agree in the opi nion, that while there would have been no possibility of main taining a Government had three Regents been appointed, there is that possibility now, though it is a possihility only, which none seem inclined to think amounts to a probability. Although he owes his political existence to a revo:ution, it is generally agreed ma that the revolutionary party will be the one which Espartero will have to dread, while to the Conser vatives he must look for sum ort, since, although prior to the events of September they were his natural enemies, they alone from their stake in the country, and the maintenance of order, feel the necessity of upholding existing authority, whatever dislike they may harbour against the person in whosehands it is lodged. The election of the Regency itself is sufficient to :how that this opinion is not hastily formed, as the more moderate party were to be, found among the Unitarians, while the Trinitarians were composed of the ultra-democrats. On the Conservatives, then, it is said, Espartero must rely, and must further resolve that revolutions shall proceed no further, riot only for the sake of the country, but for personal con siderations, since a fresh movement, while it revived anarchy, would probably remove him from power, and consign him to the fate of the many who have been by turns the leaders and victims of popular insurrections. The list of the Ministry is expected with anxiety, and much, it is believed, will depend on the choice made by the Regent, since of himself, though no one doubts his firmness, resolution, and in short his qualifies as a soldier, it is believed lie would not act without able assistance, the want of that mental cultivation which his arduous military life, commenced in his earliest years, has precluded. In 'a few words, the soldier is thought superior to the statesman. Even with a powerful Cabinet, it is believed he will meet with the strongest opposi • tion in both Houses of the Legislature, especially the lower one, and the only expedient course will be to prorogue the Cortes for a while, testing the disposition of the Members before they are allowed to act, and, in the event of discovering that all chance of working with them is utterly hip-less, to come to a dissolution, and use what influence he has at the elections. The army, fortunately for Espartero, seems to be to his favour, and in this and the Conservatives his strength will depend, while the formidable opposition will be found in the various municipal authorities, and all those who are more or less imbued with the republican spirit. Thus, the mer ehants whose opinion is here set forth agree that reliance can be placed nowhere else than on the firmness and intelligence of Espartero and his Government, though whether reliance can be placed even there all seem inclined to doubt. The unwill ingness of .Spaniards of property to settle in their own country is an important index of their real view of the present state of things. POST.— fhe result of the debate of the last eight days in Parliament has been considered here most decisive. It is thought impossible that, after se signal a demonstration of the public feeling, the Melbourne party can pretend to cling to office a moment longer. The Committee of the Stock Exchange have passed a reso lution that will, we should think, be found to operate very inconveniently for brokers and others having business to tran sact in the public funds; but such is the wisdom of the gentle men of the Committee—such the solicitude they manifest upon ad occasions for the interests of the public, and for the maintenance of the institution over which they preside in its primitive and immaculate purity—that we doubt not they must have some unanswerable argument to o ff er in jus • tification of the measure. ' th ey have just decreed that the quotations contained in the official lists published at one and four o'clock respectively, may, in future, be added to, or altered, at the pleasure of members requiring it, up on the authority , of their written representations. A num • ber of reports of the movements of the House, founded upon the prices recorded in the o ffi cial tables , g o forth at irregular intervals. - At twelve o'clock, for instance, lists are made uii, and despatched to all parts of the metropolis, the contents of which are embodied in the correspondence preparing for the country, and the foreign mails, soa.e of which close early in the day. Nuw, as any alteration made in the official lists between twelve o'clock . and one goes direc ly to falsify the advices pre viously given of the state of the funds, it is quite evident that bankers and others residing at a distance will find a diffi culty in reconciling the discrepancies which they can not fail to discover, from time to time, between the quotations forwarded to them by their brokers or agents, and those eventually introduced into the official publication. Parties sitting down at three o'clock in the af ternoon with the lists before thern,to give their friends in the country, or on the Continent, a fair and detailed statement of what would appear to have passed at the Stock Exchange up to that hour will often find, on the distribution of the printed document at four, the whole of it invalidated by subsequent interpolationi.

The opinions upon the Corn-laws to which we have given expres,ion since the recent Ministerial announcement upon the subject, have been precisely the same as we have always maiotamed, and with which, from frequent repetition, the readers of thi. Journal have been long familiar. We advocate a fixed du'y. in preference to the present fluctuating and gam bling system, because we are thorougly convinced that it would be much more advantageous, permanently and in the long run, to the Irish farmer. But our present purpose is not to discuss the question. We have now to place before the pub lic—and we claim for this important document the attention of all partie?—a litter from the venerable Sir John Newport to .Mr. Purcell, the Honorary Secretary of the Irish Agri cultural Society, in which he declares that he infinitely pre fers a moderate fixed duty, such as that proposed by Ministers, to the uncertain system, founded upon the fluctuating average prices of grain. The sentiments of such a mart, especially on the Corn question, are entitled to the deepest attention " Newpark, Bth May, 1841. " DEAR SIR—I aught sooner to have requested your being so kind as to insert my name in your list of annual subscribers to that agricultural improvement fund—owing so much to your valuable and successful exertions for its establishment, and to the prudent foresight of the Committee for its permanent con tinuance, by the judicious division of its funds, resting its an nual expenditure solely on its annual subscriptions only, so long as they shall be found adequate to the object in view. I would now request my name to be inserted fur three pounds in that list, which I will readily increase as occasion may require. I wish to know when the first payment is to be made. I have paid to the generrl fund ten pounds; and from the whole urea• sure anticipate, being thus conducted and placed under such direction, incalculable benefits for Ireland. _ _ " Will you now allow me to add a few lines on a subject a hick long before the corn intercourse act of 1806 was introduced by me, has very closely received my attention, and is now about to call for a renewed Parliamentary decision, in which Ireland and Irish interests are seriously involved—l mean the question of a duty fluctuating with averages in the price of corn in the home markets, or moderate and fixed, as proposed by Minister:, on the admission of foreign corn into our markets. To this question 1 have during several years, after watching closely the operation of the present laws, become firmly con vinced of the infinite preference of a moderate fixed duty for the advantage of the agriculturist, as well as the artisan and ma nufacturer ; and if this is the case as it respects Great Britain, we of Ireland have many more decided reasons for adopting an alternative which will no longer leave us at the mercy of the unbounded efforts of wealth, speculators on the greater or lesser produce of the lands, and the various effect of the weather on the corn crops of both islands, to admit or exclude foreign corn at their pleasure, of which speculation the Eng lish capitalist, from superior wealth and nearer approximation to foreign markets, must have that advantage over the Irish agriculturist which over more fertile soil and less costly ma nufacture of it would otherwise ensure. " I will not trouble you further with my statement of opi nions, which I have for several years decidedly entertained; and now feel myself bound to express to you.

Sunt, MAY 16.—The requisition convening the meeting, though prep tred in a very short time, obtained the signatures of the gentry, clergy, merchants, and traders of the town and neighbourhood, who, with the exception of a few sticklers fur Toryism, came forward, notwithstanding minor differences, to exhibit their firm determination to oppose, by every constitutional means, the return of the Tory faction to power, and to proclaim their confidence in her Majesty's pre sent advisers, who have shown themselves to be the devoted friends of the people of Ireland. The meeting was held at the public news-room, John Fitzgerald, Esq., M.D., was called to the chair. JOHN POWER, Esq., Mountrichard proposed the first reso lution, and said—The return of the Tory faction to power would let loose all the wor.t passions of the nation, stir up strife and discontent, pave the way to universal commotion, and give a blow to the rising prosperity of their native laud, from which it would take centuries of good government to en able it to recover.—( Hear, hear, and cheers. ) JAMES CANTWELL, Esq., in proposing the next resolution, dwelt for some time, and with much energy, on the hors ors conneeted with Tory Administrations in Ireland.

RIVERS, Esq., in proposing the next resolution, said, there should be no jealousies or biekerings—but a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether, should be made to keep out the 'furies, and lay the foundations of the country's permanent peace and prosperity.—( Cheers. ) The remaining resolutions and the address having been agreed to, The SECRETARY said to expect justice at the hands of the Tories would be to look for honour, decency, and truth from the Robys, the Bradshaws, and the M‘Neiles —tho , e men who tes tify, beyond the power of contradiction, the real sentiments of the Tory faction.—( Hear, hear.) To those men the people of Ireland should never consent to entrust their lives or liberties, or the person of their beloved Sovereign, who had exhibited herself so true a friend of Ireland. The meeting separated amid loud cheers for the Queen and the Ministry. A FEW FACTS. " The people of London," said Si: Thomas Potter, at the great meeting at Manchester on Monday, " were ignorant of our condition here," arid in order that the grasping monopo lists in the metropolis and elsewhere may learn a little know ledge on the subject, without much reading, we extract the following from the speeches made on the occasion :—I was told, said Sir Thomas, there were 4,000 or 5,000 horses in Hyde park every day with splendid equipages." He afterwards as sured the meeting, in confirmation of what had been statt d by Mr. Alderman Kershaw, that in certain districts of Manches ter ' 4 there wene 2,000 families without a bed to lie on ;" ant it appeared from the evidence of those who had visited these districts that the distress was indiscribable. Some idea of it, however, may be formed from the statements of the same worthy Magistrate. In one district were 2,000 families, consisting of e,366 persons, who had only Is. lid. per head a week to li%e on ; in another were 2,000 families who had only ss. 34d. a week for each family ; in a third was the same num ber of families, whose weekly ineome amounted to only 6s. 3id. for each family, and in consequence of the utter inability of these poor people to pay. 200 provision dealers had made bad debts to the amount of 23,6441. The last tact stated by Mr. George Hadfield, however, is worth all the rest. In 1634-5, when wheat was 395. the quarter, the average amount of the fever cases was between 400 and 500 per annum. In 1839, when wheat was nearly double, the number of fever cases was trebled, being upwards of 1,200 !

Wednesday's performance of Figaro's Hochzezt afforded an other proof, if proof were wanting, that an English audience will enjoy, and do justice to Mozart's music. A more than usually crowded house received this beautiful opera with en thusiastic applause, and we cannot give the performers a higher meed of praise than by saying that they did justice to the composer. This was evidently the opinion of the audience generally. The overture. Figaro's great aria in the first act : " Dort vergiss leises Wehn, susses Wirnmern," the duet be. tween the Countess and Susanna " Wenn die sanften Ahen dlufte," and the concluding chorus, were all encored. There were, in fact, too many repetitions for an opera, which at all events draws largely on the powers of the singers; the more so as the• promiso given in the bills, that all the mas'c written for this opera was to be performed, was faithfully kept. Cherubino's air in the first act, " Tha, die ihr die Triebe des Herzes Kt nnt," Figaro's recitative and air, as also Susanna's, both in the third act, have been generally left out when the opera was performed in this country, most likely for the best of all possible reasons, that the singers were not sufficiently vigorous or skilful to undertake these additional exertions. Last night justice was done, more or less, to all the music. Heinefetter and Staudigl stood out boldly in their now acknowledged excellence, as Susanna and Figaro. Mad. Schodel and Herr Dellinger, as the Couut and Countess, were neither of them very welt fitted for their parts; the former, if she be intended as a substitute for Madame Von Hasselt, who was promised us in the beginning of the season, and whose reputation as a good singer stands deservedly high in Germany, is by no means a sufficiently goad one. She is, we believe, an excellent musician, and has good taste, but nature has denied her the one great requisite for a prima donna at a theatre like Drury-lane ; the volume of sound which issues from her throat is, notwithstanding her most- painfully evident exertions, insufficient to fill the house. She is exceedingly well calculated for a singer at chamber concerts, but can never satisfy the audience at Drury-lane. We were pleased, nevertheless, to perceive that she was received with great kindness, and had the advantage of the most perfect quiet during her great airs. To any lady, the singing and acting with Heinefetter must be a severe test, and, accordingly, the interiority of Madame Schodel was most perceptible in the duet which we mentioned above. Mellinger, as Count Almaviva, sung as well as usual; but he has no idea of the character which he under took3vorluties, gay, biem se ductivea to represent. His German stra i g tforward honest y totally that dis a unfits him l t a f l o i a r then, and therefore, heo of „rantedthe wil y, which ,sce is indispensible to good acting. Madame Schaman n , ever the favourite of the public, sang beautifull y , but her acting wanted that set.uctiveness which ought to characterise • the scapegrace Cherubina, and she was not we ll dressed. No one could ever for a moment have taken her for a boy , and y et some attempt there ought to be to create an illusion. All the subordinate parts were well performed, and the whole went off w,th eclat. The Royal box was empty. The funeral of the late John Thomas Barber Beaumont, Esq., will take place to-morrow, at his own cemetery at Stepney. It is now full three years ago since Mr. Beaumont caused a tomb to he prepared for himself in front of the chapel of the cemetery, two immense pedestals of ganite, p..inting out the spot as the last resting-place of him•ell and family, and a tomb contiguous as that of his friend Dr. Fel lowes.

A file of the Polynesian, issued at Honolulu, to the 10th of October has been received at New Bedford, in the United States. A sum of between eleven and twelve hundred &liars has been raised for the benefit of the Oahu Charity School, by the sale at auction of donations received from Europe and the United States. The Polynesian of July 4 says :—Since the arrival of the King and his suite at this place we have been grati fied to learn that his Majesty and most of the chiefs of the island have spent considerable time in consultation, for the purpose of forming new laws, and effecting a revi sion of the laws enacted about a year previous. The new code is intended in some degree to limit the power and define the duties of the King, governors, and all other chiefs. The form of trial by jury, - which heretofore has been adopted 'in capital offences, we understand is to be extended to all high crimes and to some civil actions. There are to be different classes of courts, though it is said the higher court is to have no jurisdiction except in cases of appeal. The art of engraving appears to be practised with suc cess at the high school of Mr. Andrews at Lahainulana. Several views of Hawaiian scenery, executed on copper plate by pupils of the seminary, are spoken of as mani festing strong native talent fir the art. _ . The bark bark Flora sailed from Honolulu, Aug. 3. for New York, with a cargo of upwards of 200 tons of sugar and molasses of Sandwich Island produce ; some of which was raised by and shipped on account of the natives; 16,000 goat skins, and the first shipment of raw silk, from the plantation of Peck and Co., Koloa, were also freighted in the same vessel. A plantation had been commenced by Pikoi, William Harebottle, and some other young Hawaiians. The plan tation includes, at the smallest calculation, two thousand acres, including mountain land, and is secured for them for fifty-five years. They first planted sugar cane, but the soil proving , too dry and not rich enough, they have now turned their attention to raising corn, beans, 8.x., and live stock. Coffee also thrives well. The Polynesian of Oct. 3 contains an account of the trial of Kamanawa and Lono, captain of the schooner Kooikaika,,for the murder of Kawakuiki, wife of the for mer, by poisoning. Gov. liekuanoa was the presiding Judge, the King and high chiefs being present. The accused were al lowed to challenge the jury, which consisted of twelve of the most inelligent Hawaiians, all of high rank. They were also allowed to select counsel. Kamanawa and his accomplice confessed their crime. Lono also confessed a; previous murder, that of .the former commander of the Kooikaika, whom he poisoned in a similar manner, a few years since, at Hawaii. Be sides their (mil. confessions, the testimony of the wit nesses was full and ample. The jury brought in their verdict against the two, as guilty of wilful murder,' and they will soon undergo the penalties of the law. Such deeds are said to have been quite common in the days of heathenism ; but, since the introduction of Christianity, this, we believe, is the first case of convic tion. Kamanawa is one of very high rank by blood, and trial and condemnation by his Peers show in them a commendable determination to assert the supremacy of their laws, however high the rank of the offender. The trial throughout was conducted in a very respectable and dignified manner, and made a favourable impression upon the minds of the strangers present. .

Honolulu, Oahu, Oct. 5, 1840. [TRANSLATION.] Law prohibiting'the manufacture and use of intoxicating drink. In our inquiries after the best means of promoting the interests of the kingdom, it has appeared to us that an increase in the production of food is of great importance. Scarcity of food is,_ of course, a great evil to the country. It is said that the present is a time of scarcity, and we therefore have been searching for the cause of it. One reason we ascertained to be the following. Articles of food, potatoes, sugar cane, melons, and other things, are taken and transformed into intoxicating drink ; the people remain in idleness, without labour, in consequence of their lying drunk ; wherefore the land is grown over with weeds and is impoverished. In consequence of our desire to promote the order and welfare of the kingdom, we have assembled to re flect on the subject, and now enact this law. 1. If any man take potatoes, sugar cane, melons, or any .other article of food, and transform it to an intoxi cating liquor, and drink it, he shall be fined one dollar, and if he do the like again, the fine shall be two dollars, anti thus the fine shall be doubled for every offence, even to the utmost extent. 2. If any one make an intoxicating liquor such as is mentioned above, and give it to another to drink, he too shall be fined, according to the first section of this law. 3. Whosoever shall drink that which another has pre pared in order to produce intoxication, as mentioned above, he too has violated this law, and shall be fined in the same manner as he who prepared the drink. 4. If a man be fined according to the above require ment, and have no money, he may then pay his fine in produce, or, if he have no produce, he may pay it in la bour, the labour being proportioned to the amount of the fine, or, if he d o n o t l a bour according to the require ment, the punishment may be increased, or he may be confined in irons. 4. When this law is proclaimed by a crier in any vil lage, the day of the proclamation shall be the day that it takes effect at that place. But if it be not prccLim2d, it shall take effect on the last day of November. at all the places at these Hawaiian Islands. Enacted by the Government of these Hawaiian Islands at Honolulu, Oahu, this Ist day of October, in the year of our Lord 1840. (Signed) KAMEHAMEHA 111. KEKAULUOHI. —New York Commercial Advertiser. CROYDON POLIcE. A young man named Scriven attended before Messrs. Warington and Currie, the presiding Magistrates at the Town-hall, on Tuesday, to answer a charge of assault pre ferred against him by a person nam e d F reeman , a member of the Society of Friends, arising out of the following circumstances. It appeared that the complainant, who is a stanch tee totaller, had resolved upon giving a lecture to the inha bitants of Croydon upon the subject of teetotalism, and on Thursday last he sent a bellman round the town to give notice of his. intention to do so a t th e ba c k o f the Town-hall, and, accordingly, at the appointed hour, a number of navigators from the railway and other loise characters assembled, and Mr. Freeman having mounted upon a tub proceeded to harangue them. The people appeared .to give very little credence to what he said, and at length a navigator got on the shoulders of one of his companions and held up a shovel, and asked the lecturer whether he thought a man could use such a tool if he drank nothing but IVater. This was the signal for a general row, during which the lecturer was very roughly handled, and his clothes were nearly torn front his back, and he was obliged to run into a tradesman's house for slicker while the police were sent for, and they escorted him out of the town. The defendant was stated to have been one of the parties who was concerned in the attack upon the complainant. The Magistrates asked Collier, the inspector of police for this district, how it was that such a meeting, which was almost sure to result in a breach of the peace, was permitted to take place in the public highway? The inspector replied that he had not the least idea of any such meeting or lecture being intended. He was absent from Croydon on other duty, or he should most certainly have prevented it. from taking place. The complainant here exhibited his coat, or rather the remains of it, and assured the Bench that he had been most shamefully treated. The Magistrates told him he had no one to blame but _ . himself. if he had minded his own business instead of getting a mob together in the public street the occur rence would not have taken place. The Bench then said that under the circumstances they should order the defendant to pay a line of one shilling and the costs.

THE POWER OF THE PEOPLE. Well I we learn now, after years of silence or mystifi cation, that beyond the boundary wall which encloses the aristocracy, there exists a people—swarming, indus trious millions—pinched by want—burdened with taxa tion—at whose sufferings, borne with wondrous patience, it is safe to laugh no longer. Silent though they have been—silent and inactive, we may mark how our rulers spontaneously move towards them for power. The late unlooked-for change in policy was not born of clamour— it is not a boon granted to noisy supplication, or sulkily given to appease threatening wrath. No'. but just a confession wrung from aristocratic governors, that a fresh gain in power must be sought at the hands of the people—that right can purchase might. Not much is offered—but the offer itself, though it were ten times less, is a concession that carries in its bosom all other concessions. In letters of burning light recent events have written the truth—that power is with the people, and that justice is the key to it. This lesson, it is for the people to con and to improve. If they can put up with little things, things little enough will be given, they may rest assured—less, marvellously les; than what is promised. They owe the Ministerial note of hand to necessity, not to good-will. It is for them to make the most of their advantage. Ministers ask power—give them a vast deal more than they want —more than they can manage, except by doing justice. " Moderate protection," say they, ".help us to give you molerate protection." The true policy of the people is not to refuse the help, but to give it in greater abun dan-;e, for much greater objects than their rulers desire. " Abolition of monopolies" should be their response. " Yoa shall have power to put an end to all monopolies." The ruling party are now in the hands of the people. Let them . trust nothing to the aristocracy of either section. Something must be done—the principle of class legislators is to do the least possible—that least can only be done by the people, who can do ()Teat things much easier than little ones. The terms of the bargain rest with them for decision. If this great notion is again cozened it will be through the treachery of the middle classes. We will not suspect them of it. Famishing millions look up piteously into their face and cry, "give us our own bread—we ask no more—whip us for idleness—shoot us if you like for trespass, but do not starve us, and then punish us be cause we cannot live." This is the earnest agonizing prayer of pining multitudes, though they utter it not — though in pride they turn their backs upon the middle classes and utter nothing. Within, their sufferings, and without, their haggard features, emaciated frames, and tears that will not keep down at the bidding of stern re solve, articulate this cry " give us our °SYR—let not the exclusives rob us of our own." What will the middle classes do, we mean the electors ? Will they respond to Ministers or to the people ? Will they carry PROTEC TION or REPEAL ?—ffon-Confornzist. THE MINISTERIAL MEASURE. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) EXETER, MAY 19, 1841. The Ministerial Measure has not excited so much feeling in this district as might have been apprehended. It was thought at first that the agriculturists would be roused into violent opposition, but. I never saw them so quiet on hny oc casion when the Corn-laws were touched on before. This is a good sign. The farmers feel that they have nothing to gain by a continuance of the present law. Give us a fixed duty (they say) and don't let it be too low, and we would prefer it to the sliding scale. Ido not believe that they are satisfied with the eight shillings propo,ition, but Vat it comes ret , y near the mark I gather from their easy indifference. Indeed I heard a gentleman say who has the management of a large property, some few miles to the so u th of E xe t er , t h at h e did not think the landlords would be required to lower the lent at all on estates that had been fairly let. Those who have been squeezing their tenantry at every increase of prices will, of course have to come down, and we see no good reason why they should not. _ With respect to the sugar question, that is universally po pular. A petition signed by the wives, sisters, and mothers of the working classes, for cheap sugar, is about to be sent up to Parliament. I have no doubt frogs the feeling of the City that it will have a vast number of signatures. We are to have a contest here. The Tories are about to bring forward Mr. 'fhomas Baring, son of the Corn-law rat Lord Ashburton. Sir William Follett will be dawn soon to look alter his interests, and Mr. Divett is also on the alert. I cannot believe that the Tories have the slightest chance of affecting Mr. Divett's scat.

We do not recollect any occasion upon which the smallness of the room was so much felt as it was yester day ; the crowd was so great, until long after seven o'clock, that, although a great deal was gone into in the way of comparing and squaling books, many parties were unable, from the mere want of space, to transact any business at all. This being the case, we cannot be expected to guarantee that the subjoined -statement con tains all that was done ; we can only recommend it as being substantially correct. The E 0( rby engrossed nearly all the betting, but did not exhibit such important fluc tuations as usually occur at this period. Ralph was a worse favourite than on Monday, 11 to 2 having been laid several times, and currently offered up to the close. Scott's two favourites were in nearly the same position as before, Van Amburgh having the call. 3 to 1 was repeatedly offered against them jointly. Coronation was a little on the decline at first, but rallied, was backed for a large amount at 10 to 1, and closed fourth favorite. Galaor was supported at an improvement, but Belgrade, after standing a long time at 10 to 1, fell a couple of points and closed with a very feeble party. Ermen gardis was backed at 25 to 1, and Sir Hans repeatedly at 30 and 33 to .1 without making any advance, and although the odds were taken frequently about several outsiders, Mustapha, Muley, Monsieur le Sage and Hereford were all that left off in any force. 100 to 1 each was offered a g ainst each of Scott's three outsiders—Satirist, Duke ofWel lington, and Knight of the Whistle. It is generally ex pected that there will be a very large field, the numbers guessed at ranging from 22 to 27 ; upon this point, how ever, it will be impossible to speak with any confidence until Monday or Tuesday ; and to say who will ride (if riders can be found for ail that are thought likely to run) is quite out of the question.

The festivities at the chateau of Thursday evening were kept up till an early hour on Friday. There was a dance in the theatre after the play, and a grand supper concluded the enjoyments of the night. The presents given to the performers this evening by the Duke and Duchess of Orleans ere very handsome. Mdll e . D oc h e and Mdlle. Balthazar received brooches set with stones. Arnol was paid 500 f. for the evening, and his expenses. The cost of the drainatic representation of this evening, and the same for the other day, is estimated at 4,000 f. On Friday evening, after the dinner given by the Duke and Duchess of Orleans, the Gymnase company per formed Bocquet Pere et Fils and Les Vieux Peches. Some elegant presents were made to the performers by their Royal patrons. Mdlle. Nathalie received a rich bracelet, Mdlle. Jullienne a gold pin, and Mdlle. Maria a gold chain. On Saturday there was a stag hunt in the forest, in which the Prince took part ; and a stag, which was driven near the chateau, was killed in the presence of the Duchess of Orleans, and the ladies who Were his Royal Highness's guests. The animals were brought into the grand court, and reckoned over by torch-light. The Constitutionnel gives the following particulars of the Duke of Orleans's hunting establishment:— " Hunting is out of date ; our customs and the divi sion of estates are contrary to its continuance ; nor does it find in the higher classes the opulence necessary to its maintenance. The Duke of Orleans piques himself, and with some show of reason, upon his taste for the chase ; in this he does not bow to prejudice, but to wise considerations. Nevertheless, he to this pleasure de votes only what a Prince may - devote. His principal hunting establishment is at St. Germain's, under Firmin, his first whipper-in. The pack is not numerous, but suf ficiently well broken-in to catch a stag in two hours or two hours and a half, the mean time. Generally the runs take place without the Prince, M. de Cambis being his representative. MM. de Nicolai, Beranger, de Caumont, de Laigle, and God e f ro y Jaden, often attend them, for the purpose of choosing subjects for their tableaux. " The pack accomplishes its four runs or five a month, and the result is honourable enough and positive enough to merit some attention. A recent fact will give an idea of the quality and ardour of the dogs. The pack was one morning at play upon the terrace of St. Germain's, a promenade which it patronises twice a day regularly ; the dogs started a hare, which was a-squat at the foot of the palings, and hunted it right outside of the forest, through the gate Dauphine., In the evening Mr. Birkett, an English gentleman, came by the pack on horseback, and accompanied by a mongrel cur, of a size and colour likely to remind the dogs of the hare they lost in the morning. Scarcely had; our horseman passed the pack than, abruptly turning round, he set off at full gallop without calling his dog, which was playing very prettily with a few leaves a short distance off. Bow-wow turning about to look for his master.: saw him already far enough away, and took to his heels after him ; but by this precipitate departure edged on the pack, which forthwith set off full speed too, and, in spite of the efforts of the whipper-in, and of the hounds' yak's, who, in consequence of the mishap of the morning, were more attentive than before, the poor wretch of a dog was hunted full cry, and with unparalled obstinacy to the bridge of the Picq, where he was caught and torn to pieces, • , MURDER ON BOARD AN ENGLISH VESSEL. —So far back as the evening of AVednesday, the 6th of January last, while the schooner Lorina Thompson, of Liverpool, Captain Bettes, was in the port of Algiers, a quarrel arose between one of the seamen named Elias Enough, a native of Jersey, and the cook, an Irishman, named John Rein, during which the latter,' as is alleged, seized a large ham-knife, and plunged it into the chest of the seaman, which penetrated to the back bone. The seaman died in a few hours afterwards, and Reid , was immediately secured, and put in irons by order of the British Consul, who issued strict orders to the Captain of the Lorina Thompson to have . him conveyed to Eng land. The vessel sailed for the Clyde, and, after per forming quarantine at the Holyloch, arrived on Satur day at the Broomielaw, when the prisoner was trans ferred from her to the charge of Captain Richardson of the Gorbals police. where he will be detained until in structions are received from the Secretary of State as to his ultimate disposal. If the usual custom is follo'wed, Reid, we believe, will be brought to trial before the Court of the High Admiral of England. The prisoner is about 20 years of age, and the depositions and post mortem examinations have been sent along with the vessel. THE CHARTISTS AND PHYSICAL FORCE MEN DEFEATED WITH THEIR OWN WEAPoNs,—A meeting was held, on Monday evening last, at Carpenters' Hall, convened by a Chartist placard, to consider the propriety of electing Dr. • M'Douall to the Convention, for another fortnight ; and it was announced, that that true friend of' the people, C. J. Harney, would address them. There were various prices charged for admission to the platform, the body of the room, and the gallery. The Chartists assembled and commenced ; but it appears, that some scurrilous attacks on Mr. O'Connell; in the Northern Star, had so aroused the feelings of his country :nen in this town, that they determined on meeting the Chartists on their own ground. They mustered in great numbers, and succeeded in displacing the Chartist chair man, and putting in the chair one of themselves. , They carried, by a very decided majority, a resolution in favour of a repeal of the union with Ireland ; and the Chartists, endeavouring to disturb the proceedins work, twice or thrice ejected in a body from the h a ll they have looked upn as their own peculiar and exclusive ground. They were driven down the stairs with the greatest pre cipation ; and showed themselves almost as good at run ning away, as at shouting and brawling, when practising on the forbearance of public meetings.---Moivehester Guardian.
