,NING EDITION MEETING IN MARYLEBONE. COMMODORE NAPIER. A meeting of the electors of the borough of Marylebone was held yesterday at the Yorkshire Stings, Paddington, to take measures for securing the electioh of the " Hero of Acre" to represent this borough in Parliament. Long before two o'clock, the hour appointed for commencing proceedings, the son, which is calculated to hold 1,500 persons, was completely `filled; and when the time for taking the Chair arrived the greatest impatience was manifested. The call of" Chair, chair, time, tune," having become in a few minutes exceedingly loud and erngry, the Committee appeared upon the platform, and one of them, Ivisriset, came forward, and said, that by some unac ,eountable accident, Mr. Raikes Currie, who was to have taken the chair, had not arrived, and on that account Mr. Hume— ( Vehement cheering)—would take the chair.—( Renewed and long continued cheering. ) Mr. HUME, M.P., then came forward, and when the cheer ing with which the Hon. Gentleman was received had sub sided, said, that as the time of every person there present was valuable, the Committee had thought fit not to wait for the arrival of the gentleman who had agreed to take the Chair on the present occasion ; they were anxious to proceed to business. He (Mr. Hume) had come there as a parishioner, not intend ing in any way to interfere in the proceedings of the meeting, further than by offering his most zealous support to Commo dore Napier, in the hope that they would have him as their representative in Parliament.—( Cheers, and cries of " No, no," and much confusion, which lasted for some time.) At length Mr. Hume proceeded—He was in hopes that those who came there would allow the meeting to proceed orderly. They were anxious to hear the opinions of every individual in the assembly who might think fit to present himself on the present occasion. It w as not to be supposed that they could all be of one opinion ; but it was right and, fair that they should hear the parties who • addressed the meeting, and not by clamour unnecessarily inter rupt its proceedings.--( Here some disorder was again occa sioned by an individual, who was assailed on all sides by cries of " Turn him out, turn him out.") Mr. Hume went on to say that those who wished to prevent open discussion, would not be the friends of freediim, or the best individuals to be represented in Parliament. He would not make any further observations than as chairman express a hope that they would support him while in the chair an his endeavours to preserve order. It etas impossible that they could obtain credit for their proceed ings, useless they observed order and decorum. In his capa city of chairman, he would take care that every individual pre senting himself to the meeting should be heard. Commodore Napierhad offered himself as candidate to represent the borough of Marylebone in Parliament-Hear, hear, and cheers)— and it was unnecessary for himr. Hume) to say more than that the gallant Commodore's public acts and conduct had made bins as well known to the inhabitants of that borough as any one who was long resident in it. He (Commodore Na pier) had not yet had an opportunity of addressing the inhabitants of Marylebone, and he (Mr. Hume) trusted that they would allow him to introduce the gallant officer to them.—(Cheers. ) Commodore NAME here came forward, and was received with enthusiastic and long-continued cheers; when order was somewhat restored, the gallant Commodore said— Gentlemen, I can assure you I never experienced greater pleasure than I do at the present moment in address ing so large a portion of the constituency of the borough of Marylebone. I hope you will make some allowance, on ac count of my long absence from England, and my consequent want of acquaintance with passing events, in my address to you on the present occasion.—( Hear, hear.) I wish to see the 33a110t the law of the land.--(Cheers.) I was not the friend of the Ballot ; but I stood three contested elections, and I saw it was impossible for Englishmen, under the present system, to come forward to the poll and do their duty openly as elec tors.—(Loud cheers.) I have, then, thought it high time to change my mind. Gentlemen, relative to the extension of suffrage, I will merely observe, that I find there are thirty-five thousand householders paying a 10/. rate in this borough, and only 11,500 of those are regis tered, and but 8,000 come forward to give their votes ; and why is this ? not from any unwillingness to assert their rights as electors, but because they are certain that if they vote against certain parties, they may ruin their families. The next article I come to Is short Parliaments. On that topic it is not necessary to say much. When I see hew persons change every day from right to left, I think seven years too long a period to trust any body at all. Therefore, I will always vote for short Parliaments, whether they be of three, four, or five years' duration.—(" Oh," and cries of " One year.") Now we come to the greatly agitated questions of the last week in the House of Commons. The hrst is the Corn-laws.—( Hear, hear.) I need not tell you. he rause I have done so frequently before, that I am decidedly opposed to the Corn. laws. I think they are the most on statesmanlike laws that were invented they are bad for the people because they starve the people, and they are bad for the merchants. I will tell you an anec ote which took place in Egypt about a man who in this coun hry is called a great monopoliser, but he is far from it. When :I urged him to put down his monopolies he said, " Yen your selves are monopolisers. I monopolise for the good of my people —to pay my army and my navy for their protection ; but you do so to put money into the _pockets of the landowner, and to starve the pnor people. You are therefore worse monopolists than I am." It is unnecessary to go intokthe question of anger duties. Lord Palmerston has well answered the arguments brought forward by the other party with respect to the support derivable to slavery from the mea sures now proposed. Lord Palmerston told you in his excellent speech Oat he had treaties with every Power in Europe, many 'of which were &ready ratified; and that he expected every day tithe ratification of treaties with America to establish the right sit search in any vessel employed in the slave trade. That titers is a complete answer to the question that arose about encouraging slavery and the slave trade, and it is unne ceraary to say more on the subject. Now we come to the question of timber duties, which perhaps all of you eh. not sufficiently understand. I understand in London , 1 essi are obliged to rase Canadian timber in building houses, and that they are all filled with bugs.—( Loud laughter. ) (Candi= timber produces bugs in a most extraordinary de gree, and that accounts for whit I had never known before. But you have not only bugs in the houses, but they are intro ,'.need into every ship in the navy. Formerly I never saw such a thing as a bug in a man-of-war, but now there is scarcely a ship without them, and that on account of the Ca nadian umber. I think that INlioisters were wrong, so far as not taking off more than ss. from the duty on Baltic timber. Ail our ships' spars, instead of being Riga sticks, are now este& of Canadian timber ; and when a ship is on a lee-shore, instead of having a fire Riga stick, which he can depend upon, she has a Canada stick carried away, which can be no very plea sant thing, either for the officers or her men. The Poor laws are, I understand, extremely well administered in the parish of Marylebone, therefore I do not see why these Poor-laws ought to be altered.—( C'heers, mingled with hisses surf cries f " Explain, explain," with considerable confusion. which was increased by the falling of a table, amidst cries of Canada timber," and much laughter.) On the restoration of order the Gallant Commodore said, I believe I am misunderstood by some gentlemen. When I was alluding to the Poor-laws, I'meant those of the parish of Marylebone, which I under stand are very well aoministered, and therefore I suppose no change in them to be necessary. I will support all local laws in Marylebone, as they are well admi nistered. Relative to the Poor-law generally, being absent from England two years, I have not had time to exa mine into them, so that I cannot give you any positive opinion as to their justice. Before I went abroad, I was a guardian in a district in Hampshire, where the Poor-laws were very well ad -I=inistered ; and I think, that were they not well administered the fault lies with the Poor-law guardians, who do not carry out the law. In the district to which I have alluded, all the old persons above sixty years of age—husband and wife—were allowed out-door relief to the amount of 6s. per week. —( Hear, and cheers.) Whether we were right or wrong in carrying this out in our district, we, at all events, provided for the comfort of the posr, and I think the same system ought to be brought into operation i n e ver y union—(AVoiee—" Are you for every parish administering to its own poor—answer that.") H.re great disorder arose, mingled with cries of " Turn 'em nut." As the confusion continued increasing every moment, Mr. G. A. YOUNG, who was the former candidate in the Anti-Poor-law interest for the Borough, came forward to the trout of the platform, and by words, which were inaudible, and signs and gestures, endeavoured to prevail on the assembly to abate the tumult, and give a hearing to the gentleman ad dressing them. On Mr. Young's retiring from the front of the platform, the uproar was renewed, with cries of " Ge on Commodore ;" " He won't answer the question ;" " Turn the fellows out"— mingled with hisses, roars, and cries of " Shame, shame." Lieutenant Ackerley stood in the doorway, and contributed not a little to swell the tumult, by occasionally calling out, in a stentorian voice, distributed through thej hall by the aid of his hollow palm applied to his lips—" Agents of the devil—they stepport the Poor-laws—answer the question." 3lr. THOMAS, the barrister, as a friend of Mr. G. A. Young, entreated the supporters of that gentleman, to preserve order, and to give every one a fair hearing. A GENTLEMAN on the Platform.—Why, it is only those you brought here who have refused to hear any one. —R enew e d uproar. ) Commodore NAIIEE again presented himself; and, after a renewed uproar amongst the Youngites for some minutes, which, through the influence of Mr. Young exerted chiefly by ges tures (for his vocal appeals were utterly inaudible) a partial silence enabled us to catch the following :—Gentlemen, the oialy other observation which I have to make to you is, that if the public service should rehuire my ab sente abroad, I shall leave to the electors to decide whether or uot Ishould resign my seat.—( Cheers, and a repetition of the peevions tumult, diversified by numerous personal contests, reseal and fistic, in several parts of the room—in some instances cards were fiercely exchanged. ) Mr. You we (Sir C. Napier having withdrawn) offered him self to the meeting, and in spite of the deafening din of cheers, h h shh an d hooting, which almost split the roof, persisted for some minutes in vainly endeavouring to make himself heard. The CHaia*All thought that the best way to compose the meeting, and to restore order, was to put it to the meeting to decide by a show of hands whether Mr. Young should be heard or not.—( Chee rs.) If it were the wish of the majo rity to give that gentleman a hearing, the rest would be bound to accede.---(Cheers. ) A show of hands was taken accordingly, when Mr. HUME said that the numbers were so nearly equal that he could not undertake to d ecide, and he thought there fore that Mr. Young ought to be heard.—( Cheers and alaugh. ) Mr. YouNG—( who throughout his address was almost inaudible, more from the boisterous altercations of the two parties in the meeting amongst themselves than fom any:interruption positively directed against the speaker)— was understood to say, that he had thought it his duty to at tend this meeling in consequence of the decisions of two societies of electors in his favour ; and as, at the present meeting, convened by those whom he regretted to call his opponents, nearly one half of the electors present were his etteporters, he did not think that he was bound to retire from the approaching contest. He was as anxious for the suc cess of the liberal measures of commercial policy proposed j by the Government as_ fairly man could be ; and if time people had bee n f u ll y represented in the House of and Commons, those measures could not have been rejected or de layed. Sir C. Napier had expressed himself favourable to the centralizing principle of the New Poor-law --(Cheers and cries of " No, no," and " yes, yes.") Th e Gallant . Officer had certainly said that it was th e fault of the guardians that the law was net well administered. [The uproar became so great that we could not hear the slightest soundfrom the Hon. Gentleman although he seemed to make no ordinary efforts ] Sir C. NAPIER., after considerable exertion on the part of the chairman to still the uproar and obtain a hearing fur the Gallant Officer, was understood to expl a i n that the statement made by Mr. Young as to his opinion o f t h e totally incorrect. He supposed he had not been heard wr- rightly. After After some further confusion, a resolution t o th e effect that . Sir C. Napier was a fit and proper person to represent the borough, and should have the support of the electors present, was preposed by Mr. Horsey. M. DANIELL came forward and seconded the resolution. I Tie was received with loud cheers. " iii7K;;;;;;; theni;sentedhimself, amidst loud cries of "Adjourn, adjourn," and great uproar, which rendered the greater part of his speech inaudible. He said that nn 'oPerraa could be more impolitic with reference to theeasiesent situation o f th e b oroug h, than when they had alr two reform candidates in the field to come forward with a thir .—(Cheers said uproar. ) Wh a tever might be the de.. vision of that d a y, M r . y oung— ( Great u proar and confusion which drowned the conclusion of the sentence. ) Public meet hags were not always decisive of elections.—( Great uproar. ) The best course to pursue ores for all to unite and consider AD had the best right to be their representative Cries of " Napier, Napier," and great confusion.) The course then pursued appeared to him to be most inconsideree.—(Great uproar, and cries of " No, no.") They ought to have waited to settle their present unhappy differences. It was owing to those that they were suffering the degradation of being represented, or rather of being misrepresented, by a Tory.—( Loud cheers.) This was one effect of the pre sent unhappy differences, and it was due to the Reformers to say that they had been in the course of bringing them to a satisfactory conclusion.—(Cheers, and uproar. ) The Ra dicals ought to have the representation.—( Cheers and uproar. ) It was unwise to bring forward a third when two were already in the field.—(Great uproar.) If you decide that Commodore Napier shall be the man—( Cries of " Yes, yes ; Napier for ever; we will have him," mingled with cries of " No, no," from the-partizans of Mr. Young.) Amidst the din and con fusion Mr. Kensett retired. The CHAIRMAN then pot the resolution, but from the up roar it was impossible to hear what he said. A placard, bearing the inscription, " Napier for Marylebone," was held up amidst the most deafening applause. At that moment Mr. G. A. Young pressed forward to the front of the platform. A scene of the greatest uproar ensued, his supporters applauding ve hemently ; but their plaudits were drowned by the cries of " Off, off !" raised by the supporters of Commodore Napier., The C hands AIRMAN then put the question, and a forest of hands being held up in its favour, it was declared to be carried amidst the loudest acclamation. Commodore NAPIER then came forward and was received., with the most vociferous applause. He briefly returned thanks, and retired amidst the loud cheers of the meeting. Mr. Porren proposed a vote of thanks to Mr. Hnme for his conduct in the Chair, which was carried by acclamation, and the meeting separated. After the platform had been cleared some person in the body of the hall called for three cheers for Mr. Young. The cheers were, however, completely drowned by the hisses of his oppo nents, much to the chagrin of Mr. Ackerley, who stood by the door in a most excited state, and gave audible utterance to his feelings of disappointment. The rush to the door, on the breaking up of the meeting, was so great that it was some time before the room was cleared. WESTMINSTER MEETING [The following is the portion of the meeting emitted yester day afternoon in consequence of the lateness of the hour (four o'clock) when it terminated. ] Mr. O'Coarneer., in continuation, said—The moral force Reformers, to which he belonged, who looked to moral force alone for the advancement of civil liberty, and who would obtain for every man of 21 years of age, andunstained by crime, the right to vote (for he would be content with nothing less) —the men who would obtain the protection of the Ballot, the shortening of Parliaments, and universal eligibility, there being no other justification than the voter of an honest con stituency—that class had been smothered by the Whigs, and their paltry cry of finality—they had been smothered by the Chartists.—(Cries of " No, no," and " Yes, yes.") But they would ultimately prevail.—(Cheers.) Every rational Chartist would join in battling for these measures—they would have a new party—a real Convention of Reformers.— ( Hear, hear, and cheers.) The public spirit of the country was on its march the public mind was aroused, and the tyranny of the aristocracy must be put an end to. Was it not well known that there never was such bribery as at the late elections.—( Hear, and a cry of " St. Albans.") He did not want to screen any party. But was there not bribery at Canterbury ?—and at Cambridge and at Sandwich, where the Duke of Wellington sent in 81 out of 82 votes; and was there not bribery at Nottingham, where Mr. Walter came? He had received a letter from Nottingham, stating the very price at which votes had been purchased. ( Groans.) He was against all parties who bribed, and against the perjury which was produced by bribery. He was for the honest ballot. How was it to be obtained? By the people throwing, off the fetters and shackles of sectional parties. He would put that to every honest Chartist. They com plained of the other classes of society, but how could they be honest if they demanded exclusive legislation for themselves? Did not the Chartists exclaim against the middle classes as if they did not belong to them, when they had ob tained some standing and position in society?—( Loud cheers.) He rejoiced at the multitudinous meeting assembled before him, and he augured from it better days for England. He held in his hand a map of the manner in which corn had risen in different years, and there was scarcely ever a period when corn was substantially dearer than at present, while there never was a period when wages were so low, or so many unemployed. —( Hear, hear.) Day after day they heard of mills and fac tories being at work some only four, some only three, and others only two days in the week, while others were entirely closed. Distress and poverty was among the people, and he implored them to listen to this fact. In the year when corn was highest, there were the greatest number of committals, and executions, and transportations. Why was that? because the people were driven to crime by the pressure of unrelenting cruelty. The people were as moral before ; but a starving wife and children moved many men to a violation of the law, and spolia tion of other person's property. There was another fact connected with that subject, that by the returns of the deaths, births, and marriages, it appeared that during the dear corn years, the marriages were fewest—that was a misfortune in itself—the children were the fewest, and the deaths were nearly two to one of the other years. Crime and mortality were increased in the dear corn years ; but what did the Duke of Buckingham or the Earl of Winchilsea care for that? The people were hunted into their graves, and the aristocracy stood over them, and said, " Oh, it is only the canaille—they are the lower orders ; what care we for them." Let Englishmen, then, rouse themselves.—( Cheers.) Let them not look at small or paltry divisions. A new division had taken place among the people —the monopolists on the one side, the grinders of the faces of the poor and the poor-starvers—and on the other the people, the friends of large loaves and plenty of food, of high wages and of popular l.berty, and of freedom of conscience. —(Much cheering.) Who were against them? The aristocracy, and let them not think he was bigotted when he said the parsons were against them.— ( Hear, and a laugh)—most of the law yers were against them—every raven that fattened upon the public plunder was against them.—(Cheers.) He did not doubt but that Lord Cardigan and Lord Hill were against them.— ( Hear, hear, and a laugh.) Lord Waldegrave was very angry with them—( Groans)—and but for the public Press he would have got off scot free, for what a poor man had been a short time previously transported. Shame upon the law, and the law makers—shame upon the law distributors—and shame upon the people who slid not rally one and all for constitutional liberty. He had already said that they could not get all at once. He had been all his life an advocate for instalments, and 10s. in the pound would give them courage and strength to demand the remainder.—( Hear, hear.) Let the popular mind be roused throughout the country. :Here Whig finality Ministers could never sit again.—(Loud cheers.) Their only means would be to join the movement, the great and glorious movement that was now afoot.—( Cheers. ) They had arrived at a moment when one party was tottering while the other trembled on its approach to office. Had not the Tories added thousands of millions to the public debt.— ( Cheers.) Yes, the people were not now blind to the perjury the bribery, and hypocrisy of that party, and the people would net now suffer them to ride rough-shod over them again.— ( Hear.) The public voice had gone abroad so loudly, that it had reached even to St. Stephen's.—( Laughter)—the that were fur finality only a year ago, were for the movement now.—( Cheers.) Let ail join in the present movement. Some might blame him for supporting a fixed duty he did not support it, but he knew that let them once obtain a fixed duty, they would soon send the Bs. after the rest.— ( Cheers.) He therefore called upon them to rally for English liberty—to rally for constitutional freedom—to rally for the extension of the franchise—( Cheers )—to rally for the Ballot, but above all let them rally for cheap bread—( Cheers) —cheap bread for the poor—to give more meat to the poor man, and more food to his infant. Although the Whigs were at the head of the present movement, let the people, as they said in Ireland, form the tail. He was told the Tories had bribed a large section of the people, but their money was run out— they wanted to get in again to enrich themselves, but the people had found them out—their triumph would be short. They had tilled the prisons with persons against whom no offence had been proved.—( So did the Whigs.) No, they had not. He was for opening the prison doors to every political offender, he would not care whether the inmate of the cell was an O'Con nor, or an O'Brien, or any one else ; but had they forgotten Oliver—had they forgotten the Manchester massacre ? -- ( Cries of Hear, hear,) Did not they suspend the Ha beas Corpus Act? Had they not greatly increased the tax ation of the country? He therefore called upon them to rally, in order that a great and noble principle might be established. The demon Tories deeply taxed the democracy, in order to support in splendour a rich and insolent aristocracy. Would the country stand that any longer.—( Cries of " No, no.") He was never more grateful than upon that occasion, for from, some symptoms, he had been afraid he would not be allowed to speak, for a few might have prevented him.—(Cheers.) They had allowed him to enunciate his principles, and those were their own ; then he called upon them to follow out their own principles, for they bad now been adopted by the Whigs. The Govern ment had taken up the principles of the people, then let the people assist them, and help them to overcome their enemies, who on this, as on all occasions, were the enemies of the people. He remembered a saying of Horne Tooke, who being remonstrated with for acting with a party who did not go far enough for him, said, " If they take the waggon of Public Liberty so far as Hounslow I shall go with them, because I shall be so far on my road to Windsor. '—( Cheers. ) Now, then, let the people go with the Whigs so far as they would go—get what they could from them, and then try others from whom they would get more. Scotland was up upon the question ; the working population of England was roused, and Ireland would not be backward in the rightful agi tation._( Cheers.) For forty years he had worked for an often betrayed, and therefore cautious and suspicious people, but they gave him their entire confidence, and he would use eer s .) oFullftthe e liberty Government, the and he ho it in the prom o ti on o f civil Cl i and religious liberty to all.— poor man w ed as th in a v t ol es ve ,e d ry inthe propositionpoor man's friend would su p port them.—(Cheers. ) Dr. Bowat ttc th en came forward to propose . the next reso lution, and was most enthusiastically cheered.

He trusted th at the people of be alive to their own interests , and support the measurespe would posed by her Majestys Ministers.—( Cheers.) The resolution he had to propose was—" That when measures were propounded by her Majesty's Ministers for the abatement of monopoly in corn, sugar, timber, &c., those interested in upholding hi g h prices of the necessaries of life combine to frustrate such an object."— ( Cheers. ) Mr. Peoue seconded the resolution. They could not h e told too often that wages did not depend upon the price of food, The labouring man was bowed down to the earth by the mono polies and tricks of those who had governed the land, and it was for the purpose of putting an end to, such monopoly that. the Ministers of the Crtlyn had introduced the present mea sures, and, as they we good, it mattered not to him what had caused the Ministers to bring them forward,—( Cheers)— and this he would say that, the people must be mad if they did not support them. The people must be up and stirring, and do their duty, by adopting such a course as he had pointed out.—( Cheers. ) Dr. WADE supported the resolution. He was proud as a clergyman of the Church of England to take part in the dis cussion of this most important subject.—(Cheers.) He had always stood forth against his owninterest to advocate that of the poor and needy, and for this he had been frowned upon by the landowners, but he was proud to see that which he had been working for all his life was coming to pass.—( Cheers.) He considered this question one of humanity.—( Cheers.) He was in principle fur a total repeal of the Corn-laws.—( Cheers. ) He was for perfectly free trade, but he was also for unanimity. —( Cheers. ) The Government had got in the edge of the wedge, and he trusted the people would take care that that wedge should be driven home. (Cheers.) The tree of monopoly was the tree of corruption, its fruit was poison, and its shadow was death.—( Cheers. ) He would say, then, hew it down, why cumbereth it the ground? — (Great cheering.) The Corn-law was an infernal law.— Cheers.) Holy Writ denou nce d it, H o ly Writ advocated free trace..(Cbeers-).—sa well as no prohibition of Corn. It said that all the fruits on the face of the earth were for the use of man.-.( Cheers. ) It said that not only had the labourer a claim upon the land, but that he was to be the first partaker of its fruits.—( Cheers.) The Scriptures denounced thosewho deprived the nation of their corn, as those who were robbers of Jehovah himself.—(Great cheering.) Lord John Rus sell had moved the straw, and the land-rats and the water-rats did not know where to go.—(Cheers and laughter. ) The people must send in their ferrets among them, and rout them out—(Laughter)—and he trusted they would lend their aid to the Ministers, to stop up the holes through which those rats had got into their granaries.—( Great laughter.) Before he sat down he must say a word or two to his friends the Chartists. He only wished they would co-operate with them, and not be led away, as they appear to have been. The Charter was only a means to an end—one end was to obtain plenty and abundance for the people.—( Cheers.) This was one of the ends they were advocating that day, and it was an end, too, that would enable the people ultimately to ob tain the Charter.—[Here the figure that bad been placed on the top f the house of Mr. Burnett to repre sent the Duke 'of= Buckingham, fell down, and caused much amusement]. He was glad to see that, it was a good sign, for it. - showed that the landlords were on their last legs.—.(Great laughter.) - The Chartists wanted the release of Mr. O'Con nor sind.tbe other members of their body, who were incarcerated, .bntlhetklig not proceed in the way only by which they could Akain It- lire:rai as anxious as any man for their release, but ire iftst74l'k.4l::that when the people wanted anything from 1 0 ' , Vs* ;lib tee in power, the way to obtain it was not by r r atittitig; i ' face of those from whom they asked a favour. . 4Cheeri: t,' HA would lay it down as a principle for the f t artiitsCtkot it was base and foolish to join the Tories inst Ilse' 'Literal measures that had been proposed the ,Gc4yerninent.—(Loud cheers.) The Tories were n to be:believe/I, they were like the Thugs, for under the pretence'of benefiting the people they would put the rope about their necks one destroy them.—( Cheers.) He would conclude with saying, Peace to our Queen and her Throne, and plenty to the labourer in his cottage.—( Great cheering.) The resolution was then put to the meeting by the HIGH BAILIFF, and declared to be carried unanimously. Mr. TROTT then proposed the presentation of petitions to both Houses of Parliament, embodying the resolutions that had been agreed to that day, and praying for the repeal of all laws affecting the necessaries of life.—( Cheers. ) Mr. TTIaELL seconded the resolution. He hoped, at the next election the people would extort a pledge from every candidate to support the repeal of the Corn-laws, and that if they would not give that pledge, that they would have nothing to do with them.—(Cheers.) The petitions were then adopted by the meeting, and it was also agreed that Earl Fitzwilliam should be requested to present the one to the House of Lords, and the Members for Westminster the one to the House of Commons. A vote of thanks was then unanimously carried to the High Bailiff for his impartial conduct, and the meeting separated, after giving three cheers for free trade, cheap sugar, cheap timber, and which was the longest and loudest of all, for cheap bread. 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 any oc casion when the Corn-laws were touched on before. This is a good ign. 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 proposition, but that it comes pretty 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 south of Exeter, that he did not think the landlords would be required to lower the rent 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 from 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. Thomas Baring, son of the Corn-law rat Lord Ashburton. Sir William Follett will be down soon to look after 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 seat.

GLOBE.—Sir Robert Peel has thrown away his last chance of permanently passing for a statesman, as dis tinguished from a party chief. For this purpose, dex terity in debate, and party tactics, are insufficient. There must be force of character, and directness of purpose. The Duke of Wellington showed these, when he linked his name with Emancipation. Peel allowed himself to be dragged into that measure, as it were, with reluct ance. Huskisson showed these, when he linked his name with enlarged commercial 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 to be 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 his Toryism, at every surrender of its strongholds which he 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—a defi ciency the most fatal to all permanent reputation for statesmanship. No man has acquired that charac ter, who (besides Parliamentary talents) has not shown 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 he had to play for himself and his party ? He 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 most plausible organ make him indisposed to commit himself too far, or run too great risks for it. STANDARD.—The attempt to enlist the country in the anti-corn-law agitation has already manifestly failed, and the failure will become more rapidly progressive and more plainly apparent from day to day. There •is no reflux in such cases. The people, who have re fused to aid the Ministerial sedition, give by their con duct an admonition to others who have not thoroughly weighed the subjects to consider the arguments by which themselves have been convinced. But reflection is all that is ever required to put Englishmen in the right path. Let them only give their sound un derstanding fair play, and they will never go wrong. It is true that the Common Council of London has decided in favour of the Ministerial project, and true also that a meeting at Manchester has put forth a similar decision. This is what every one anticipated ; but few Conservatives, we imagine, were so sanguine as to hope that these expected demonstrations should be really so favourable to their views, so fatal to the prospects of the Ministers and agitators, as they have proved. We wish to speak respectfully of the London Common Council, but it is not to be denied, and a majority of the Council will, no doubt, boast of it, that that body has, for more than thirty years, warmly supported the party now in office. We may instance its offerings to Colonel Wardle, its sub mission to the late Mr. Hunt, its partisanship with Queen Caroline, its re-elections of Sir Matthew Wood and Sir John Key—in short, every remarkable step that it has taken within the period referred to ; the effect was, that until very lately men of Conservative politics de clined a seat in the eivieParliament—a resolution on their part not tending much to exalt the rank of the Assembly. i WESTMINSTER ME ETING .—The following s a description, sent by a Correspondent, of the figure al luded to by Mr. O'Connell at the Covent-garden meet ing yesterday :—The effigy in Covent-garden represents an aristocratic landowner in Court costume of ancient fashion. He is treading upon the cap of liberty, whilst at his feet is placed a loaf, into which his sword is thrust, emblematical of the power he possesses of withholding the supply. The motto, .‘ Homo Homini Daemon" (Man to man is a very devil), extended across forty feet of the front.

The SPEAKER took the Chair at the usual hour. On the seats appropriated to Members of the other House, we observed the Earl of Belfast, Lords Ellen borough, Wharncliffe, Lyndhurst, Abinger, Hatherton, and several other Peers, evidently in waiting for the ex pected Ministerial announcement. The Sheriffs of London and Middlesex presented a petition from the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Corpora tion of the city of London, against the-graduated sliding duty on foreign corn and other provisions, and praying instead therof a fixed duty. On the motion of Mr. NEELD, the Church of Eng land Life and Fire Assurance Trust and Annuity Com pany's Bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. H. BERKELEY presented a petition from the brass-founders and cotton-spinners of the city of Bristol, and from certain inhabitants of St. Mary's Raelcliffe, ex pressing their gratitude to her Majesty's Ministers for their intention to abolish the Corn-laws, and praying the House speedily to abolish those laws, as being unconstitu tional and unjust. . _ _ Mr. JAMES presented three petitions from Cumber land, and one from Scotland, against the present Corn laws. _ _ Sir M. WOOD presented a petition from a ward of the City of London, expressing thanks to her Majesty's Mi nisters for striking at the root of monopoly, and praying the House to adopt the measures of which notice had been given, for substituting a fixed instead of a graduating duty on corn; also a petition from the Trustees of Lin coln's Inn-fields, praying that the new courts of law might not be erected there. Mr. BIIOTHERTON presented several petitions from places in Lancashire, signed in all by 16,000 persons, against the Corn-laws ; and a petition from a place in Lancashire in favour of the commercial policy of the Government. Mr. HUGHES presented a petition from a place in Carnarvon, praying for Church Extension. Mr. SHEPHARD presented petitions (we could not learn from what places), against the present Corn-laws, which the petitioners considered opposed to the Word of God and the laws of nations.—(Hear, hear, on the Mi nisterial benches.) Sir C. KNIGHTLEY presented a petition from Dun church against the proposed commercial charges, which the petitioners considered the most desperate measures ever introduced by a Government.—(Hear, hear, on the Opposition benches.) Mr. WYSE presented a petition signed by several Peers, Roman Catholic Bishops, Magistrates, and others, in Ireland, praying for the early establishment of pro vincial Colleges in that country, with a view to the for mation of a General Irish University. Mr. P. HOWARD presented a petition from the Mayor, Aldermen, and Common Council of Carlisle, in Council assembled, in favour of the plans of the Chan cellor of the Exchequer, and especially that which related to the importation of foreign corn ; also a petition from the Roman Catholic Pastor and Congregation of Carlisle to the same effect. Mr. LITTON presented a petition from Dublin against lay patronage in the Church of Scotland. Mr. GREENE presented a petition from a place in Lan cashire against the proposed alteration in the duty on foreign timber. Mr. THORNELY presented a petition from Ham lingworth, in Cheshire, in favour of the commer cial measures of the Government ; and a petition from Marylebone, in favour of an alteration in the Corn-laws. Mr. WILBRAHAM presented a petition from a place (the name of which we could not learn), signed by 46,000 inhabitants of all classes, praying for the total and immediate repeal of the Poor-laws. Mr. CLAY presented a petition from Shoreditch in favour of the commercial measures of the Government. Mr. BAINES presented several petitions to the same effect from places in Yorkshire. Mr. SCHOLEFIELD presented a petition from Bir mingham in favour of a property tax. Mr. GOULBURN presented a petition from Cam bridge, praying for Church Extension. Mr. COL QUHO UN presented eighty-six petitions from Wesleyans against any further grant to the College of Maynooth. Mr. HUME presented petitions from a farmer and land-agent in Suffolk, praying for the repeal of the Corn-laws. Also nine similar petitions from Bucking hamshire. Also a similar petition from 183 leaseholders of Faversham. Also fifteen similar petitions form York shire. Sir G. GREY presented a similar petition from North ampton. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE gave notice that, on Tuesday next, he should move that an humble Address be pre sented to her Majesty, praying her Majesty to dis charge all persons from prison who are confined for poli tical offence. Mr. WOODHOUSE gave notice that he should move for sundry returns relative to the price of corn in Great Britain, the only one we were able to hear the Hon. Member mention, was a return of the average price of wheat in Great Britain in each year from 1792 to 1804. THE LATE DIVISION. Mr. FIELDEN said he was •sottiewhat in doubt if he had any right to a seat in that House, but it would be in the recollection of Hon. Members, that, yesterday morning, after the resolution of the Noble Lord had been put to the - Honse, he had proposed an ad journment of the debate ; that motion had been seconded by the Hon. Member for Finsbury. and since he had come to the House that evening he had been told that the Hon. Member for Ashburton, who was in the gallery at the time, had also seconded it. Now that motion ought to have been entertaina. He had been asked by his Honourable Friend, the Member for Kilkenny, to withdraw his motion, on the under standing that at some future time he should have an opportunity of stating his opinions on the subject. What he complained of was that his motion for adjourn ing the debate had been disposed of without his consent. — (A laugh.) The Speaker had never asked him if he would take the sense of the House.—(A laugh.) He had not put it to the House if they would divide on it. He thought he had a right to complain. It was a question affecting the privilege of his consti tuents.—(Cheers and much laughter.) He thought it probable that the House might have rejected his motion, but he complained of its having been rejected without a division. His Hon. Friend the Member for Kilkenny, could bear testimony that he had been asked to with draw his motion, on the understanding that he should have an opportunity given him on some future occasion of speaking 'on the subject of the previous debate, and he had risen to speak when the Noble Lord, the Secretary for the Colonies, had pro posed his amendment. " During the course of the pre vious debate," said the Hon. Member, " I was not per mitted to speak, not having obtained your Ileye, Sir."-.(Roars of laughter, occasioned by the peculiar aspiration, which the Hon Member thought it right to prefix to the word eye.—The Honourable Gentle man continued.) He had risen more than a dozen , times during the debate to make known his sentiments, but had not been able to do so. He did not complain of that. He knew how difficult it was for the Speaker to see every Member who rose. But yesterday morning, between three and four o'clock, he had risen to move the adjournment, as he wished to enter into explanations as to the reasons which would influence him in giving his vote. He had been asked to proceed with his speech, but he refused to do so, and at that hour of the morning it could hardly have been expected. He wanted to know why his motion for the adjournment was rejected—why it was not put from the Chair—and a division taken on the question of adjournment. Before he said anything more, he hoped to have an answer to that question. The SPEAKER felt that he could give the best answer to the question of the Hon. Member, and he could state, that if the motion had been seconded, he should certainly have put it from the chair. After the Honourable Member had put the question, he (the Speaker) asked who seconded the motion, and he paused two or three seconds for an answer.—(Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") No Hon. Member in his view seconded it, and he had then proceeded to read the question to the House. As he was reading the question he saw the Hon. Member for Finsbury rise, but he did not under stand him to say a single word, or to second the motion. He appealed to lion. Members near him if he was in error, and they concurred with him that the Hon. Mem ber had not addressed the House. He concluded, there fore, that the motion was not seconded, and he cer tainly did not see the Honourable Member in the gal- i lery ; he had only heard that since the adjournment, and was not aware of it at the time. If he had been aware of it, of course it would have been his duty to put the question.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. WAKLEY could easily understand that the Speaker was in doubt and difficulty as to what was passing in the House. There was certainly noise and con fusion in his (Mr. Wakley's) part of the House, as well as near the Chair. He recollected the Speaker asking who seconded it, and he (Mr. Wakley) had risen from his seat, and said, " I do, Sir"—(Cries of " Oh," and " Order")—but he could easily believe that the Speaker did not hear him, for there was considerable noise in his part of the House, and several Hon. Mem bers cried " Don't second it." Sir R. H. INGLIS saw the Hon. Member for Fins bury rise, but did n o t h ear hi m s ay a single word. Mr. FIELDEN rose, but was received wit h loud cries of "Chair, and s p o k e .") The SPEAKER had omitted to state why the question was not put, when the Hon. Member rose a second time. The Hon. Member did not rise until after the voices had been given in the negative, and it could not then, ac cording to the practice of the House, be put. He would also state that when he observed no Hon. Member to rise and second the motion, he had said in the hearing of several Hon. Members near him, " There is no se conder."—(Hear, hear.) Mr. FIELDEN, not having had an opportunity of speaking during the debate, would send the speech he intended to make—(Roars of laughter from all (reat laughter)— parts of the House)—to the newspapers. — ( Renewed laughter.) A n d h e would te ll th e m more, that what he sent he h a d wr i tten be f ore --- and if Honourable Members wo uld write before hand what th e y i nten d ed to sP eak ' G they would save a great deal o f th e t i me o f t h e House.—(Cheering and laughter.) That would enable Hon. Members to see what w ere hi s sentiments o n the subject. THE SUGAR DUTIES. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER--Sir, I give notice that, on Monday next, I will move that the House shall resolve itself into a Committee of Ways and Means, with a view to move the usual annual Sugar Duties therein.—(Cheers.) Lord JOHN RUSSELL ro se amidst the utmost silence, and s a id " Si r, I move that this House, at its rising,he do adjou rn t ill Monday ne xt." The House House which was crowded, and the Members of the other House, who had congreg a ted under the gallery, seemed lost in astonishment for a few moments, and then burst out into loud cheers on one side, and laughter on the other. The Earl of DARLINGTON said, that after what had just taken place, he was relieved from all suspense as to the intentions of the Noble Lord, notwithstanding the division against him the other evening • and he (the Earl of Darlington) might be allowed to add, with a tenacity unparalleled—(Loud Opposition cheers)—after the deci sion which the House of Commons had so unequivocally delivered against him.—(Cries of "'Hear," and " Order.") He might, however, be allowed to ask the Noble Lord on what day he intended to bring forward the debate on the Corn-laws.—(Hear, hear.) Lord J. RUSSELL—On Friday, the 4th of June. — (Cheers from the Ministerial benches.) Colonel Sibthorpe, Mr. E. Tennent, and Captain Pol hill, here rose almost simultaneously to address the House. The SPEAKER, however, said that as there was then no question before them, they should proceed with the motions for the day. NAVAL COMMISSION. Lord GEORGE LENNOX, in bringing forward the motion of which he had given notice, for a Committee of the whole House to take into consideration so much of the Report of the Naval and Military Commission as relates to the recommendation relative to the Royal Marines, said that he meant to address the House but for a very short time. The Commission to which his motion referred had sat for two years, at the close of which period they furnished their Report. It was not for him (Lord George Lennox), to impugn, nor did he mean to impugn the Report of that Commission. — (Hear.) But what he complained of was, that the recommendations of the Commissioners respecting the officers of the Army, Navy, and Ordnance, had been attended to, and carried out by the heads of these several departments, whereas that which related to the marines had been neglected. As we un derstood the Noble Lord, who was all but inaudi ble from the great noise that prevailed in the House, the Commissioners recommended that the marines should have a larger number of field-officers, and a more rapid promotion. This (as we un derstood) had not in effect been attended to. He hoped that the marine officers would soon be put upon an equal footing with the officers of the Navy, and that the day was not far distant when a marine officer would even act as a Lord of the Admiralty.—(Hear.) He trusted that he should be allowed to say a word as to the honours and rewards of marine officers. He be lieved no one would say the Marine officers had not done their duty to their Queen and their country, but he be lieved that the same quantity of justice had not been granted to them as to the officers of the Navy. He hoped earnestly the House woud agree with him in the motion he was about to make. When he had moved for a Committee, he was told that he ought to have moved an address to the Crown, and when he moved an address to the Crown, he was told he ought to have moved for a Committee.—.(Hear, hear.) Under these circumstances, he did not know what to do. He re gretted that the Noble Lord the Secretary for Foreign Af fairs was not in his place, for no one knew better than the Noble Lord the value of the Marine corps. He now begged leave to move for a Committee of the whole House, to take into consideration so much of the Report of the Naval and Military Commission as relates to the recommendations relative to the Royal Marines. Sir H. VIVIAN said he could assure the House, and he felt sure he need not assure the Marine officers, that the Government were disposed to do every thing in their power for the benefit of that distinguished corps. It was impossible, however, that the same system could in all cases be pursued towards the officers of the Ord nance and the officers of the Marine as the duties of each were so different. He firmly believed that the Military and Naval Commission had conducted its proceedings with an anxious desire to do justice to allparties._ Sir A. DAL•RYMPLE said that he had for merly voted for an address to the Queen for the appointment of the Naval and Mili tary Commission; but as he believed that Commission had fairly discharged its duties, he could not vote for bringing the subject again under the consideration of the House. Admiral ADAM said that the matters to which the motion of the Noble Lord referred, were of such a nature that it would be attended with great incon venience to investigate them. The Commission itself, with regard to retirements, had recommended that they should not be Ailed up, unless the Admiralty should see it necessary, and he did not think it right to place men in the full enjoyment of health upon retirements that others might be appointed in their place. Lord INGESTRIE would give a decided negative to thg motion, at the same time that he entertained the highest feeling of respect for the corps whose cause the Noble Lord opposite (Lord George Lennox) had un dertaken. Captain BOLDERO said it was a most just matter of complaint that whilst the recommendations of the Commissioners had been carried into effect in every other department of the service, the important corps in question (the Marines) had been uniformly neglected. Mr. C. WOOD said that all the recommendations of the Commission had been faithfully fulfilled. The pro motion given by the Lords of the 'Admiralty to the offi cers of marines, in proportion to their number, was un exampled in any other part of the service. Mr. HUME said that he had voted for the appoint ment of the Commision, under the impression that the Marine corps had been neglected ; but this was a diffe rent case from that which he contemplated, and if it went to a division he should vote against the motion. He thought the Marine officers under Commodore Napier had not been fairly treated, and he hoped the Govern ment would take their case into consideration. Lord A. LENNOX said he hoped his Noble Relative would not press the motion to a division. He trusted that what had been stated would induce the Lords of the Admiralty to adopt a different course with regard to these officers. Captain PECHELL was ready to support the Noble Lord in any motion which would benefit the corps of Royal Marines. He would, however, recommend him to withdraw the present motion, in the hope that what had been said would influence the treatment of that body. Lord G. LENNOX said, owing to the small attend ance in the House, and being convinced that he would not be so successful as on a former occasion, he would withdraw the motion. The motion was then withdrawn. On the motion of Lord J. RUSSELL, the Order of the Day for the Committee on Ways and Means was read for the purpose of being postponed till Monday. REGISTRATION ACT. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE said, as he understood that the resolutions founded upon the petition to which he in intended to call the attention of the House would be agreed to, he would simply move " That, under the pro visions of the Act , for amending the Representation of the People of England and Wales, it is incumbent on the Clerk of the Peace of every County to write or print the Register of Electors annually, and to furnish copies of the same at the most reasonable price. That the omission hitherto to print the Register of Electors for the County of Hertford, and to furnish copies at a rea sonable price, has been productive of great inconve nience, and is an infringement on the rights of the Elec tors of the said County in the exercise of their fran chise to return Members to Parliament. That a copy of the Register of Electors for the County of Hertford, for the year 1840, ending 1841, be forthwith laid before this House." The motion was agreed to. ANATOMY ACT. Mr. M‘LEAN moved for returns of the number of in spectors appointed under 2 and 3 Will. 4, c. 75, com monly called " The Anatomy Act," and the district under their separate inspection. Of the amount of salary paid to each inspector, and allowance for travel ling expenses, in each year from 1836 to the 31st day of December 1840. Of the number of visits made by each inspector to the several schools of anatomy within his district ; specifying the name of the school, and date of each visit, from 1833 to 1840, inclusive. Of all subjects sent to the several colleges and hospitals, and schools of anatomy, specifying the number to each, and the date thereof. Of each inspector's Report to the Home-office, of all contraventions of the Anatomy Act by teachers or students, from the year 1833 to 1840, inclusive ; and also (if any), what proceedings have been taken thereon. After a short discussion all the returns except the third were granted. Mr. M‘LEAN said he should take another opportunity of moving for the third set of returns, and also for the appointment of a Committee to take the subject into consideration. Lord J. RUSSELL hoped the Hon. and Learned Member would not adopt any course that would prevent the Anatomy Act from being carried into effect. Mr. M‘LEAN said if it was shown to him that the Act was working well, he should not trouble the House further upon the subject. The subject then dropped. On the motion of Mr. HINDLEY, a return was ordered of the names of the barristers who were appointed, for the first time last year, by the Judges, to revise the list of voters in England, and of the standing at the bar of each such barrister at the date of his ap pointment. Mr. BEAMISH obtained leave to bring in a Bill to provide for the payment of debts, charges, and incum bra,nces affecting houses of industry and workhouses, and of advances made, conformably with previous usage, for the lawful purposes of such houses of industry and work houses, in certain cases in Ireland, which was read a first time. On the motion of Lord J. RUSSELL, the further con sideration of the Report on the Poor-law Amendment Bill was postponed till Monday next. _. The Mad-houses (Scotland) Bill, the Charitable Trusts' Bill, and the Victoria Park Bill, went through a Com mittee. . VACCINATION BILL. The House then went into Committee on the Vaccina tion BilL Mr. FITZSTEPHEN FRENCH proposed the follow ing clause :—" And be it further enacted, that it shall be lawful for the guardians of every parish or union in Eng land and Ireland, and the overseers of every parish or union in which relief for the poor shall not be adminis tered by guardians, and they are hereby directed to em ploy any legally qualified medical practitioner or practi tioners for the vaccination of persons resident in such parishes or unions respectively; and to appoint and pay such reasonable annual stipend or remuneration for the same as to the said guardians or overseers shall seem fit, and to defray the same out of any rates or monies which may come into their hands respectively for the relief of the poor, anything in any other Act contained to the contrary notwithstanding.' Mr. FOX MAULE objected to the clause, and after a few words from Mr. WARBURTON, the clause was withdrawn, and the Bill went through a Committee. On the motion of Mr. LAW HODGES, the Paro chial Assessments Bill was read a second time. The Copyhold and Customary Tenure Bill was re committed. After the insertion of a clause extending the Bill to Ireland, the Report was ordered to be brought up on Monday next. The Court Houses (Ireland) Bill passed through Com mittee. On the motion of Mr. B. WOOD, the Turnpike Roads Bill went through Committee, and the Report was or dered to be received on Monday. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House Adjourned at a Quarter before Nino o'Clock till Monday. THE GERMAN LEAGUE. The prolongation of the German League for twelve years was signed the day before yesterday, at Berlin, by the representatives of the ten States composing it. As at this critical moment any thing bearing on the working out of the great principles so opportunely adopted by the British Ministry (and which, as respects their influence on the welfare of the whole human race, come next in importance to the introduction of Christianity and the Press) will be interesting to your readers, I will give you the substance of a conversation I have just had with one of the representatives. To my question, what would be the effect upon the League were our Ministers able to carry out their inten tion of substituting a liberal for a prohibitive system of commerce ? he replied that it would put a stop at once to the remark always made, and hitherto with justice, that John Bull professed liberality, but practised monopoly, and that his actions not belying his words, more confi dence would be created ; that a check would be given to he constantly-progressing tide of increasing duties on the part of the League ; that by-and-by this tide would turn, and the duties on English goods be lowered, for that Prussia, who has the most to say in the business, is very anxious to find a vent in our market for her corn and wool. The German League, as is well known, has a political as well as a commercial unity of action in view, and is gradually and slowly, though certainly, enlarging its circle and its influence. Brunswick is on the point of joining, though there are difficulties which may postpone the arrangement for awhile, such as her frontier, which dovetails very much into Hanover, not being easily protected against the smuggler. The Hanseatic Towns would next be drawn into the vortex, and the temptation offered by the League would be, that they should retain the same freedom of trade within themselves which they now enjoy. The advan tage to the League would be, that, unconnected, they would be smuggling depots ; united, they would assist in checking contraband trade. Holstein, Oldenburg, and Mecklenburg, would soon follow ; and in five years, it is calculated, the union would be complete. It is for us uow to decide whether we will be enemies or friends with them. Had the King of Hanover any attachment to England, he would have it in his power to negotiate an excellent treaty for us, by stipulating to join the League, which his people wish for, on condition of the duties being lowered considerably on our goods. Our past policy has not only been iajurious to our selves, but also to those German manufactures which owed their existence to it, and which, as our system is now to be changed, will be ruined. The manufacturers here see this clearly, and are crying out already bitterly in their periodical, the Gewerbe Blatt. In articles made of short wool they will stand their ground better, but their power-loom cotton works will be sacrificed. Less twist and more pieces will come from Manchester, to the great advantage of ear weavers, dyers, printers, &c., whilst the poor Germans will suffer in a corresponding degree. Some of our people argue that the change has come too late—that the League will not lower their duties and take more of our goods, and, consequently, that we shall not part with more. Granted, for argument's sake, tluit the League so acted, I will just show how, if we took an extra quantity of corn from them, say to the amount of one million sterling, our goods must go somewhere in payment of the same. As the duty in the League is reckoned by weight, the finer the quality the less the duty, and, consequently, on some of the finer sorts the cheapening of them 5 or 10 per cent., would turn the scale and admit of their introduction. Now, so soon as the said quantity of corn was shipped, there would be a great many bills on London for sale, and the exchange would fall ; that is, you might buy a pound for 195., and, of course, a piece of goods worth 1/. might be had for 195., which would be the same as lowering the price 5 per cent., and, be it remembered, that in 1814 the value of the pound here was only 15s. A further reduction in price would arise from goods being manufactured cheaper in England in consequence of the lower price of food, and in this way an extra quantity of our goods would find their way directly into the League in payment for the extra quantity of corn. And now for the balance. As the pound could be bought for 195., the German merchant would buy our sterling and send it to London for coffee and sugar, which he would thus get 5 per cent. cheaper than at Hamburgh. With this coffee and sugar we pay the balance to the League, and the account is settled to the satisfaction of all parties by merely sending our goods to the Brazils in exchange for the coffee and sugar, instead of to the League. Thus, as I stated, goods, or home produce of some kind, must go in payment. _ _ Perhaps the — old - stumbling-block of our gold going in payment may be started ; but let those who do not understand that gold, like every other article, will find its way to the dearest market, and as we could not carry on our trade without a certain quantity we must give such a price as would bring it back ;—let them consider that Great Britain is importing at the rate of 40 millions annually, consequently 400 millions in ten years, 800 millions in twenty years, and so on ; and let them ask themselves how this quantity could be paid for in any other possible way than by home produce, seeing tnat there is now within a trifle as much gold in this countay as ever. The ten representatives who have been engaged at Berlin since last September, and have now separated, have not had the tariff under consideration, but merely the terms of union. The League are at all times open to negotiation as to duties, and were England to make a proposition to Prussia she would communicate with the other States by correspondence. Each State has the pow.er of a veto, but Prussia, has exacted written pro mises that in certain cases that power shall not be used, thus giving her the opportunity of backing out if her wishes were not attended to ; and as, in a pecuniary point of view, she is a loser, and the others gainers, there is no doubt she can have her own way. The Americans have had their agent here, a Mr. Dodge, threatening to raise the duty on German goods unless their duty on tobacco was reduced, and he has carried his point. He is from Virginia. I trust our Ministers will be up and doing, and not al low negotiations to be interrupted for months, as my friend said was once the case, because Mr. Labouchere was gone to his country seat. In order to ascertain the change in the consumption of English goods within the League since its formation, I inquired of the first shopkeeper in Leipzic, one who buys of all nations the articles most in demand, and his reply was that formerly nineteen-twentieths of the goods he sold were English, but that now the case was reversed, one-twentieth being English and nineteen-twentieths the manufactures of other countries. The experience of a shopkeeper is a truer test than that of a merchant, who pays the inland duty on a great proportion of goods which are aftarwards smuggled into Austria. A MEMBER OF THE ANTI-CORN-LAW Leipzic, May 10, 1841. LEAGUE. MONOPOLISTS AND ANTI-MONOPOLISTS.--- One very remarkable feature of parties at the present mo ment is, that the Tories are becoming more and more in sulated. Their interests are becoming more clearly de fined in opposition to the People. Their monopolies and unjust privileges are brought into a more direct contrast with the failing revenue and ruined manufactures of the country. Monopoly and distress stand face to face— shown plainly to the least observant as cause and effect. Still more, it has been made evident by Ministers that the comforts and rights of the people are not the only things at stake. The greatness of England and her in fluence as a nation are proved to be endangered, and that is the true ground on which they will appeal to the coun try. It is not the question of Whig or Tory ; it is one of freedom or the rule of a mere faction—interests perti naciously upheld, by every corrupt engine, for a small party at the expense of the prosperity and happiness of the entire nation. The Crown is with the Ministers, the people are with them, the justice of a good cause is with them ; there need be very little anxiety as to their ulti mate success. But there should be neither apathy nor indifference on the part of the people, even in the mi nutest detail of this all-important reform. The policy of Ministers, as explained by Mr. Labouchere, is not in tended to be confined to the measure now introduced ; it is to extend to an alteration of the principle of our whole trade, and will, therefore immediately ailect the entire community.—Cork Southern Reporter, MURDER ON BOARD AN ENGLISH VESSEL. —So far back as the evening of 'Wednesday, 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 followed, 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. A NTIQUI TIES. Certain improve m e nts were lately commenced round the woods of Drumceultran, the pro perty of Mr. Heron, of Duncow; and the contractor, James 'ergusson, while engaged iu forming a sunken fence, to his surprise came upon a whole posse of ancient swords, curiously formed, of a brittle material, and very unlike the weapons of the present day. Most of them are small, and more like ra piers than either a hafted or Damascus blade. One of the num ber appeared to have been a halberd, the handle of which had been broken off in the act of raising it, or by the corrosion of time. An old peel or keep is still habitable at Drumcoultran, and the traces of a Roman camp are distinctly visible about a mile off.—Dumfries Courier. THE QUEEN AND THE TORIES:—We have it on very excellent authority, that her Majesty has again, and very recently, expressed in the strongest terms her ex treme reluctance to accept the resignation of Ministers under any circumstances; and there is every reason to believe, that though a dissolution will in all probability take • place, that nevertheless, the present Ministry will remain in power at least for some months longer. The people have every reason to stand by the Queen, for she has most zealously stood by thom...Cheltenitam Examiner. .~ THE MARKETS. COUNTRY MARKETS. ... Wheat. Barley. Oats. Beans. s. to s.
