The Sun. — London, England, 1841-08-25 00:00:00

MORNING SUN not to be revived.—(Hear, hear, hear.) It woulrl, in 'df zd, be fatal policy in this country, if they suffered any consideration to divert their attention from the manner in which that state of things should be met and remedied. He slid not think that they had a right to protect • the landed interest as against the interest of tne • manufacturer. If trade flourisjted agriculture must flourish likewise. Let them take care of ',trade and commerce, and agriculture will take care of itself ; but if they neglected trade, the ruin of all would assuredly ensue. There was one topic mentioned in her Majesty's Speech to which he would advert. Her Majesty invited the House to consi der whether there was not a variety of the duties of trifling amount, which might be revised without any c'etriment to to the revenue. There was no difficulty in saying that an ample field of inquiry was presented to the House upon that subject. There were now upon one tarif 349 articles which produced a revenue of 8,0501. There were 147 articles which produced no duty at all, but on which there was a drawback. For his own part he could only say that he rejoiced that the time was come when the House must decide by whom and what zrson the Government of this country was to be conducted. He thought that ample time ought to be afforded to the Hoase to discuss these questions.—( Hear, hear. ) Large classes in the country would feel considerable disappointment if the orily result of their deliberations should be that they had advised her Majesty to substitute one set of persons for another in government of the country—they would feel considerable dis appointment if no opinion were expressed in that House on those subjects to which her Majesty had called their attention. Those subjects were referred to an doubtful and ambiguous language in the amendment proposed on the other side. That language, perhaps, might be made more clear before the • close of the debate ; not, indeed—for he did not expect such —by the announcement of any particular measure ; but that the House had a right to demand an tx plieit announcement of what was the line of policy which Gen tlemen opposite were prepared to follow up in the manage ment of these questions there could to no doubt.—(ol), oh, and cheers from the Opposition benches.) He certainly hoped that the discussion on the treseet occasion would not end in so unsatisfactory a manner as that to which he had adverted.— ( Opposition cheers.) He could assure the Hon. Gent:eman teat 'ae was as warns a partisan as any could be ; but, at the same time, he should say that it was the duty of all public men to consider these subjects with a view to putting them on a basis which would lead the country from its present state. He cared very little for an adverse vote of that House if it was only to have the effect of transferring donourable Gen tlemen opposite to the Ministerial side of the House provided the measures, of the soundness of which he was satisfied, were carried out. There was no question, whatever might be tie difficulties attending it, if it were founded on reason and justice, that would not ultimately prevail. Therefore it was that the principles of those moasures being founded on reason and justice would the more they were diseased throughout the country make it the more apparent that it was for the geheial good of all classes to put the Corn-laws and the other measures adverted to on a sound and practical footing. It sat 'was therefore, he said, that whatever might be the re sult of the coming division, he should with confidence look foreard to the period when those subjects would be carried by a triumpht majority. Whether it was by those persons with whom he was united, or whether it was Gentlemen opposite, as he had:frequently seen them adopting the mea sures of their political opponents when they lotted a pressure train without which they could not resist, that these, measures were carried it was to him a matter of indifference if they were brought to a satisfactory conclusion. (Cheers. ) sir. B. D'ISRA ELI said that he must declare, after all that had occurred during the last Parliament, it was with surprise he had heard the Right Hon. Gentleman who had just sat down, appealed so frequently to the Right Hon. Mernoer for :aruworth, for some developement of his future policy. The Right Hon. Gontleman had terminated his speech with a pa trietic peroration, which sounded somewhat familiar in his (Mr. D'lsraeli's ear; viz., so convinced was he of the truth of *he prtnciples which he advocated, that whatever might be the itoinion of the House, even though it might be adverse to these princ pies, yet he should support them in Opposition. Ifitd u e Rig it Hon. Gen leman torgotton the tiistingu.shed sshices or etr. Wallace as Vice President of the hoard of Teade, which had preceded the services of Mr. Hie - 'sisson. The progress of economical and commercial fseiortn had been arrested by the progress of Parliamentary reform. The Right Hon. Gentleman had spoken of the ileport of the Comreitttee on Impart Duties as if that Report had contained discoveries before unknown. He would not teittervalue the importance of that document, and he thought tie subject ought long before to have engaged the attention te' the Government, but he had yet to learn that the data on inch that Report was founded were new ; they ought to have heen long known to the Government, and he was certain that toeser os later the results arising from those dates must afford :natters for legislation. But that was not the question before the House or the country. The vote of want of confidence had been tome to on the ground that questions so momentous sou.d not be satisfactorily stiscussed if they were propounded to ti,e lioure weak and incapable, and which had suffered a series ofsieleats, which in any other reign would have heen consi thred as overwhelming. The country had ratified the' deci sien of the House, and the only question for them to consider vas whether anything had happened since that vote to induce tn. Flouts to put its eonfieence to the Government. On -chat ereutal ceuld that confidence be claimed ? Was it on tee ground of the diesoltition ? he result had shown that then had no knowledge of the feeliugs of the ceuetry. Was it es the manner in which the electioes had been conducted? :he history of the country of girded no instance of a Mi oistry addressing a constituency in such language 2 What could they say to a Minister woo, after the House of Commons cad declared they had no confidence in him, and rise and defy he opinion of that House, by:saying he had the support of the Crown, which was the best support a Minister could have. What tt ould they say to the clandestine champion which the Government had sent round to every borough in the country, petfainng the name of the Sovereign, as if the Majesty of Eng land had become the second . candidate of every paltry hole. ice koala Lord doubtless recollected the words of one who vas once an ornament of that House—that the Sovereign of a faction was only the Sovereign of half of her people. He could not believe that the machinations of any men calling themselves Ministers—and why they called themselves Ministers was to him still a mystery—(a laugh)—he would not believe that they could have succeeded in making the Sovereign of this country the Sovereign of a faction, but if such infatuation should produce such miserable conseauences if her Majesty were merely the Sovereign of the Whigs. She was not the Sovereign of one-half, one-quarter, or even one-eighth of her people, but a miserable section, few in numbers: although foymidable from their name and principles, which had ever been opposed to the true institutions of the country. Pulteny had recommended George the Second not to speak of the Tories as his enemies, because they constituted two-thirds of of his people. It would be a good thing, if the Whigs would recollect the advice of Pulteney. Could they claim a renewal of confidence in consequence of the speech which had that day been delivered to Parliament? On the contrary, that speehh was the last effort of an expiring Government desirous of laying the basis for a nascent Opposition. The Ministry had returned to the vomit, by referring again to the Budget. They would have to answer one question before the debate ceased, '`icy would have to tell by wh a t t enure th ey h e ld o ffi ce. heir leader had volunteered a declaration that the opinion cf the new Parliament was averse to them. A party which cold power after it was aware that it did not possess the con fidence of Parliament was guilty of a high misdemeanour ; that doctrine had been acted on when Parliament was not re formed, and such conduct had sent Dantz to a dungeon, and Strafford to the scaffold.—( Cries of " Oh, oh," and great laughter.) There were none of the Ministers who would tot confess that they held office by the same tenure as the Ministers of Charles the First by abusing the confidence of the Sovereign, and in opposition to the opinion of Parliament.— ( Cheers and laughter.) Mr. R. BERNAL, jun., knew not if he were one of the ehindestine champions alluded to by the Hon. Gentleman who had just s at down, but this he knew, th a t h e h a d b een re t urne d to that House by a constituency which had rejected the Hon. Gentleman, who. whatever might be his free trade knew 4edge on other subjects, understood free trade in politics well. —( Cheers.) When that Hon. Gentleman attacked the Go vernment, he snould recollect the time when he went down to canvass a borough with letters of recommendation in his pocket from O'Connell and Mr. Hume, and when he was pro nosed by his friend '!'reacher, the Radical, and seconded by his friend Rose, the Tory.—(Cheers and laughter.) It would be for toe House to decide with how great farce any rebuke eattie come horn such a quarter.—(Loud cheers.) " Gentle enett," said the Hon. Member, when he was immediately 6 ,,, e ; : ted by shouts of laughter. " Well, I suppose you are 'era - n.—(Cheers.) Then, Sir, I hope the House will ex :elct any little inaccuracies in point of form into which I may f a h, "_—(Loud cheers.) The Hon. Gentleman continued—He steed, before them entirely connected with one of those great interests which could be affected by these measures— !

Sir CHARLES NAPIER would reply to the speech of the Hon. Member for the West Riding of Yorkshire, for he must confess that et.e speech cf the Honourable Member op pos te, who had just sat down (Mr. D'lsraeli), was ut terly beyond his comprehension. The Honourable Mem ;bier for the West Hiding, in speaking of the present .Ministers, after throwing out his skirmishes pretty well, had made his grand attack upon them for not keeping the promises whieh the had made, on taking office, of peace, retrenchment, and economy. The Hon. Gentleman said that they had taken o&ee in 1830, and eight or ten little wars had, eluting that time, been carried on by the Government. " Gentlemen," said the Gallant Commodore, amidst roars of laughter, in avhich he himself joined. When the laughter had subsided, the Hon. and Gallant Officer continued. If the Government .had carried on little wars, he hoped the Hon. Gentleman op ii-site would allow him to say, that if those little wars had not teen carried on with vigonr and talent, they would not have been brought to the satisfactory conclusion to which they had iieen.—(Cheers.) If Honourable Gentlemen oppreelte had been in power, they might possibly have great wars, rod with them great contracts and great loans.-2( Cheers. ) Ile doubted if any other person than the Noble Lord the Seeretary for Foreign Affairs would have preserved the peace of the country its the manner which that Noble Lord had been able to do. Ile Hon. Gentleman had accused the Govern meet of making little wars. He had told them that the Go etetiment which had held office for 18 years before the time the Government came into office had made but one war—. tie: war at Navarino ; but that Hon. Gentleman had fergotten tl that Government made war with Algiers, and also in . 11; engaged in the Burmese war, in which he be lie, :e a great deal of money had been expended. But he I. et not so ld the House that while they were in office suffered France to go to war with Spain, and to e-ch one hundred thousand troops into that country, (town a constitutional Government in that country. - bad been the results of hie little wars whic•h had been teat;' , ythe present Government.

The Gallant Officer did well to dazzle them with the successes of Syria, as if any man could doubt what British valour could do under a Stopford of a Napier—( L oud cheers) — or as if the successes of those operations proved the wisdom of the wars. What quarter of the globe was there in which her Majesty's Ministers did not leave the British name less re spected than they found it ? Look at the ill-suppressed rebel lion in Canada, at the Bosphorus closed against our vesseis, at our suspended commercial intercourse with Persia, at the pre sent state of the frontiers of India, at the war in China, where not even the success which had attended their arms could atone for the blunder of their diplomacy. Above all, let them look at Syria. They were all aware aware what had been the state of that conntry before it came under the power of that extraordivary man who had so recently been an opponent—the ill-treatment of his, the total insecurity of life and propeaty, and the utter cessa tion of commerce. In a very short period the whole face of things had been changed. suddenly the Goveanment deter mined to assist the Port against Mehemet Ali, and the conse quences in his opinion would be most disastrous to this country. With respect to the home policy of the Government, the coun try had already pronounced its decision, and he would not therefore allude to ir. He would only observed in conclusion that when the Noble Lord opposite addressed the House at the meeting of Parliament in 1831, he contrasted the state of his own side of the House with that of his opponents, and said that all the great cities and towns were represented by his party. That could not be said at present.—( Hear, hear.) However ninth the Government were as a Government, they would prove a formidable opposition, but formidable only as those eastern barbarians whom the Roman legions learned to tear, but feared only on account of the poisoned weapons which they hurled behind them in their retreat.—( Great laughter from both sides of the House.) Mr. EWART and Mr. ROEBUCK rose at the same time to address the House, but repeated cries being made for the latter, Mr. Ewart sat down. Mr. ROEBUCK said that if the question then proposed to the House were simply an inquiry into the character of the present Ministry he would have little difficulty in coming .to an opinion, though he might have some difficuity as it was actually proposed. His opinion was adverse to the Mi nistry ' • but on grounds sod distinctly opposite from all those which had been alleged by Hon. Gentlemen and Noble Lords opposite, that he could not reconcile to nimse f voting against those wqom he disliked only because they too much resembled them.—( Hear, hear.) But the question was not :imply as to the character of the present Mihistry, it was a comparison of character.—( Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Roebuck) did not quite understand the analogy of the Right Hon. Gentleman who had compared himselt to a physician. He would have theught that he was already called in when he was elected as a Member cf that House.—( Hear, hear.) He would never dismiss one physician until he felt assured that he could ob tain a better in his place. Ae must have some advisor, and though his present adviser might be inefficient and not alto gether trustworthy. one might find one still more inefficient, still less trustworthy. They had to find, then, whether Hon. Gentlemen opposite were, or were likely to he, better than the present Government —( Hear.) They could know nothing of the Government except by their acts • and he proposed to take such a retrospect of the past as should give them a full insight into the character of both parties, and according to the result would he give his vote on that occasion. He found at the outset of the inquiry that the preseet Administration in the year when the first Reformed Parliament met, in 1832, was predominant, having power to do elmost anything that it desired for the good of the country, and being forced into power by the strong arm of the people. He found that party day by day losing its influence until at length it had become so weak, tottering, miserable, and wretched, that it was unable to do anything either bad or good. He found the Right Hon. Gentleman,' who at that time was the leader of a broken phalanx, a party which seemed for ever annihilated. has found him now, flushed with success, at the head of a party eager for the spoil. How came this to pass? The Right Hon. Gentleman and his party contended that they bed vanquished, not only their persons but in their principles, though they were glad enough, indeed, to be able to say that the Reform Ministry, the pushing on, ad vancing, moving party, were at length conquered. The pre sent Government looked upon themselves as martyrs to their Liberal principle's. His ( Mr. Roebuck's) explanation differed from that of other parties. The ruin of the Government nor attrivutable not to their too great liberality, hut to their forgetting their own opinions.— ( Hear, hear.) Flushed with success in the year 1833, the Liberal party believed that they had intorred the party opposite ; they then believed that the only party from whom they had anything to fear was the ex treme section on their own side of the House. They became Conservatives. They were placed in power to work out Re form ; they stopped in their course, and cost contumely upon those who pointed out that they were in error. They were told that this opposite party was not dead; that it was strong in wealth and influence, that the clergy. many of the pro fession, and nearly all of the landed interests were opposed to them. But the Ministry declared that they had obtained chat they desired to effect by the Reform Bill, which was to give a preponderating influence to the landed gentry.--( Hear, hear.) '1 hat was the real course of their loss of power. They were told that unless they advanced every day would add strength to the opposite party, but they heaped scorn, contumely and hatred upon those from whom the warning proceeded.—( Hear, hear.) Deeply grieved was he to think o the golden opportunity which had thus been lost. That the Ministry had thus lost the confidence which was reposed, and justly reposed in them for introducing the Reform Bill. The result of the elections clearly show e d that they had lost the confidence of the nation; but it showed nothing more—it said nothing as to principles.—(Hear, hear.) The country had simply declared that it nid not like the present Government, but when he said the country, let him not be misunderstood— he meant the constituencies; and the Ministry complained that the trial had not been a fair one; that there had been bribery, intimidation, and corruption. He must candidly tell them that the fault was theirs who had refused to remedy the evil. Still was the conduct of the country wise in throwing off ihe present Ministry for one of an entirely opposite character. Before this question could be answered, it would be nect scary to compare the character of the two parties. This he was pre pared to do ; and in their conduct in reference to the colonies, at home and abroad, wherever the present Government was in fault, he found the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite their inge nious assailant. The Right Hon. Gentleman had been their evil genius.— (Hear. ) His compassion should extend over the last ten years, and he would take the Colonial Secretary to on the representations of the one party, and the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite as the representative on the ;other. In judging of a Ministry as a party, he thought it was just to take them in large proportions—not to look with micriscopic precision into their little divisions, but to take the whole tenor of their policy. The first step of the Noble Lord representing his party was the Reform Bill. The Right Hon Gentleman representing his, true to his nature, opposed it, and checked what he now admits to be an improvement. So far then, he was not at that time the friend of the people England. Of course he applied tht observation politically, not personally. That was the first thing on which they differed. The next great improvement was their Municipal Corporation Bill. That also was opposed by the Right Hon. Gentleman step by step. There was nothing infamous which he did not do t o i m p e d e that measure. Lt all in England who had a voice in the government of a borough recollectthat the Right Hon. Gentle man and his party would have refused the Municipal Corpo ration Bill. Was that then the party which was togovern the country ? Sir R. PEEL said a few words across the table, denying, as we understood, that he had opposed the English Municipal Corporation Bill. Mr. ROEBUCK said he would next refer to the Poor-law Bill. Here he was sorry that he could not separate the Right Hon. Gentleman from his party. Not one single election had passed in which those who had come forward on the liberal side had not bean met by vulgar appeals to the lowest passions, for passing a measure which the Right Hon. Gentleman him self had supported. The Right Hon. Gentleman had now spoken of this conduct as dishonourable ; he had now raised his countenance severely against those who had had recourse to it, although it ought to have been done.—( Hear. hear.)-- The greatest act which the Government had ever brought for ward was made use of against them for the basest purposes— ( Hear, hear.) Still that was the party whit must rule, tor it had been so decided by the elections.—( Hen., hear. ) He believed that the principles of the party opposite would work out their natural consequences; and that the people of England would rue the day when their principles came into action upon their own bidding, for they would find that they could not obtain from that perty those measures which were in dispensable to our commercial welfare. But the Liberal party in that House should submit to the necessity of circumstances, for the people of England must rule themselves.—( Hear, hear.) He found at present a wondrous assent to that opinion from the party of the Hon. Gentleman opposite.—(Hear, hear.) But when they said it was the people who had brought things to their preseut position, he denied that such was the case—it was to the constituencies alone their condition was Cr' traced. And he could not but think the Whig parte - was answerable for that result, because it was the fa itself made the constituencies what they were.

He reseed over to N ew y or t and there was arrested and cornttAtted for trial. A true btll was found by the grand jury. and 31•Leod had to take his trial. The House should itrrow that there were two Courts in Arne rica—the Federal Court, which belonged to the other States, and the State Court, which belonged to the State of New Yorks The Federal Court could not, by common law, take cogoizsnce of murder • everything of which they take cogni zance was by statute:law, and they could have cognizance of murder in those cases only in which it had been committed within the peculia. districts assigned to them ,• but in the State of New York, as a State, they had no jurisdict:on what ever, the entire jurisdiction being in the hands of tha State Court. The peculiar result of that system was that the power of pardoning a person found guilty in the State Court lay in the Government of the State, incependently of any other power, while a person convicted by the Federal Court might pardoned by the President, whose jurisdiction reached him. Mr. Forsyth, in his answer to ?dr. Fox, stated that the Government could not reach the case of 111'Leed, and that it was entirely in the hands of the authorities at New York. There might be a deficiency in the legislative system of the United States, but they could not now remedy the evil. A similar case might have occurred some years ago in New York. A woman might object to an appeal in favour of the murderer of her husband; and the King could not afterwards interfer e for the purpose of par doning the prisoner. Now, let them suppose that in Prince Louis Napoleon's late attempt at Boulogne, he bad been ac companied by an English citizen, and that citizen had been murdered, while the persons who had killed him had been taken up, if the: widow objected to their pardon, they would had a case under the former English law precisely similar to the case of M‘Leod. He (Mr. Roebuck) did not think tha THE SUN, LONDON, wEDNESDAY, AITGITST 25, IR4I. Mr. Fox had been aware of the real state of the case, or that he had properly dealt with it in the first instance. The man might now be found go:lty, and might suffer capital puni.hment. 'The case had thus be come one of great difficulty ; but the authorities of the United States would take no course but that which they had followed. For his (Mr. Roebuck's) part, he could not but admire the decision of the American Judges upon the subject. The Judges said that with political expedients they had nothing to do ; their only business was to administer the law. Extrinsic cir cumstances were brought forward by Counsel in favour of the prisoner, to the effect that he was acting under the direct orders of a superior officer, and that those orders had been sanctioned and adopted by the British Government. The Judges said that of circumstance they had no cognizance ; they might be pleaded elsewhere, but they could not be pleaded in a habeas corpus. But besides the two countries not being in a state of war, and both deprecating war, England could no more justifythat murder byher orders, than she coutd any other crime. Such was the state of the case between this country and Ame rica, as regarded M'Leod; and he (Mr. Roebuck) would in treat of Hon. Members to speak of it with the caution which it deserved. To return from that digression, he would put it to Hon. Gentlemen opposite whether there had been anything in their conduct upon that or any other questi.en which would justify them in bringing any accusation against the Govern ment for the policy they had pursued. They had neither pointed out a better course ; and they had never done any thing to smooth the difficulty we were placed in. He would ask any one to put his finger upon any single thing which had been done by the Right lion. Baronet opposite, or any of his party, which could justify them in casting any censure upon the foreign policy of the present Adrninistrution. There was one topic upon which he would not dilate : but he would content himself with observing that Canada was a blot upon both par ties.—( Cries of " Hear, hear.") They had acted with the most un-heard of injustice to a very large class in that country, while they had already ennobled an indivi dual for his services in carrying out their views. —( Hear. They had given him his reward before. he believed, it had been earned. 'They had been successful, no doubt, but his tory would show whether they had noa been guilty of injus ice, and whether they hail not committed an act of grievous folly. Divide et infera, was the rule ; they had united, but he be lieved they had not strengthened, He was sure the time would come when they would one clay repent of the course they had taken. They were now bound, hand and foot, to the united Legislature; and whoever may hereafter be placed into the Colmial.office, he would find himself powerless before that Par.iament. In discussing the foreign policy of the Govern ment, he should observe that he did not think the Ministry could be reproached with driving the country into war. He thought that he had acted honourably and ably for the policy they had professed. They had been reproached with a want of economy ; but such a reproach could nut properly came from the party opposite, who had constantly compliined of every at tempt at economy. The truth was, it would have been vain for Ministers to attempt them, who had never yet ben circulated. He had now done with the respec tive merits of parties. He found Hon. Gentlemen opposite constantly rejecting every attempt at improvement, stead fastly, any but the narrow interests of party. He found them now in a majority of that House ; and the people of England had to wait the consequences of the change of opi nion, to which he believed they had come too precipitately. ( The Hon. Gentleman who had, throughout his speech, spoken in a very indistinct tone, concluded amidst the cheers of the Ministerial party. ) Mr. MUNTZ (who Twee amidst loud cries of " Divide divide," and could riot obtain a hearing for a considerable time) said that it was not his intention to take part in the debate, but that his came had been flippantly used all over the conntry during the late elections.—( Laughter. ) Indeed, he did riot know what some gentlemen would have done, if they had net had him to talk about.—(Laughter.) He could scarcely take up a newspaper, whilst the elections were going en, without finding that some gentleman or other had s.'id that " Even Mr. Muntz, the Radical Member for Bisming - ham, says that the repeal of the Corn-laws would lower wages." Now, Gentlemen, should tell the whole truth when they went about it. He did say that one of the effects of the repeal would to lower wages; but he did the. less s , v that the Corn-laws were an evil and ought to he repealed. What he said was that the whole state of the coun try ought to be looked to, and that it would not be sufficient to re peal the Corn-laws without revising the currency. Who ever might he in power, the present Ministers or the party of the Right Hon. Bsronet opposite, the whole subject ought to be gone into, and no person should be allowed to live at the expense of another. Mr. EWART alio rose amidst loud cries of " Divide, divide," which prevented his being heard for some time. He thought he should best consult the feelings of the House by moving that the debate be now adjourn —( Loud cries of " Go en, go on.") He must appeal to the good f cling of the opp.)- site side, and remind Gentlemen that there was a strong feel ing on that (the Ministerial side) that this debate might nut be hastily brought to a conclus'on.—(Cries of " Go on, go on.") Gentlemen opposite were conscious of the power which they had contrived to obtain, through the defective st a t e o f the con stituencies, and not Isy the voice of the people.—(Cheers from the Ministerial benches, and derisive cheers from the Oppo sition.) He would conclude by simply moving that the debate be now adjourned.—( Great confusion. ) Dr. BO WRING seconded the motion. :grangers were ordered to withdraw, but the House did not divide. On our readmission to the gallery, we found Air. BROTHERTON, addressing the House, who said the Sr. eaker had been on his legs nine hours, and that ought to be a reason for adjournment. Besides, the representatives of many large constituencies were expected to speak on this question, and an adjournment ought to take place. He did not agree with an Hon. and Learned Gentleman opposite ' that adjourned debates were useless. On the contrary, he thought that they were very popular with the country. Sir R. PEEL thought that the Speaker's being nine hours in the Chair, wsa a sufficient reason for the adjournment. '1 he case was a special one, and could not well be drawn into a precedent. _ _ Lord J. RUSSELL Nought that, under the circumstances, and in the present state of the House, when there was no like lihood of a division, there would be no objection to an smme diate adjournment. He did not agree with an Hon. and Learned Gentleman opposite, thot adjourned debates were an evil. But there was an evil sometimes attending them, far while the House might find a remedy, namely, that in the early part of the evening on an adjourned debate, very few Members came down, and the discussion did not really commence until a ►ate hoar. ( Hear, hear.) The debate was then adjourned, and immediately afterwards the House adjourned shortly before Twelve o'clock. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS, (From The Sun of Last Night.)

AT LONDON 13RIDOE THIS DAY. miputas altar 7 1 Evening )5 minutes after S. no violence is used, and the opposition is purely inert, em ept that in one quarter, where the agents wished to persist against a closure of doors, some dirt was thrown upon them. This occurred in front of some stables. An extraordinary display of the armed force has been made. Loaded cannon have been posted on the Place Royale. Trade suffers ; for all the warehouses are shut up. Fresh loaded cannon are at this moment traversing the town towards other points ; the artillerymen attending them with their matches lighted. We are not at all alarmed at these warlike demonstrations." This is no pleasant view of the boasted tranquil lity of France, or of the willingness of the people to pay war taxes. Of a different character is the following letter from Toulon of the 17th, pub lished by the Commerce:— " Orders and counter-orders have been sent down here in extraordinary rapid succession. Yesterday there was a question of laying up a part of our fleet in ordinary. To-day it is rumoured that all our naval force is to put out to sea as soon as possible. Yesterday, at a very :ate hour in the evening, despatches were forwarded to Ad miral Hugon, the contents of which were secret ; but to-day it has been ascertained to a certain degree what is the nature of the instructions transmitted to the Com mander-in-Chief of the French naval forces in the Medi terranean. " All the ships at present in the roads, to the number of 16, have received orders to be ready to sail imme diately. The dock-yards are in great activity. A tele graphic despatch has given rise to all this bustle, for the cause of which it is difficult to account. "It is rumoured in town that the French squadron is to proceed to the Dardanelles, where it will be stationed. and unite with the British fleet, in order to be ready for any event, serious fears being entertained for the Sul tan's health, in consequence of the news from Constanti nople." The following is the Courtier Francais' ver sion of this intelligence : " It is positive that twelve ships of the line are to put to sea, but their destination is not known. The officers do not expect to go to the Levant: they suppose that they are to be sent to the coast of Spain. M. Guizot, who will not intervene in the affairs of the Peninsula, does he hope, by the presence of a dozen vessels in Spa nish ports, to effect a reaction favourable to Queen Chris tina's cause ? Or is it for preparing France for this event that Espartero has been signalised for some time pastas the enemy of our country." The probable destination of the French squad ron is Vourla Bay, where it will watch the movement of the Turkish ships destined to act against Tunis. -The Wallachian Government has officially announced that the troubles, caused by Bulgarians at Brailow, have been put down. A Servian officer, named Tatisch, was the chief, who mustered first forty, then two hundred Bulgarians, in order to make an incursion into Turkey. Robesko, aide-de-camp of Prince Ghika, dispersed the insurgents. ".News from Greece mentions the arrival of the English ships, with the Candiot insurgents on board. The sum mer was exceedingly hot and sultry in Greece. " The Univers has a letter from Athens, of the 15th, announcing the disorganization of the Greek Ministry. This journal states Never has the opposition of King Otho evinced greater tenacity or violence. Repu diating all his promises, and disregarding all rules, he is more resolved than ever to persist •in his absolutism. The new Ministry is completely disorganized. M. Ma vrocordato is very determined upon tendering his re signation, and upon returning to private life, pending better times.' " _ _ The AugAburgh Gazette of the 16th instant furnishes details relative to the Russian loan of 30,000,000 rubles of silver. The banks are authorised to issue succes sively notes to the amount of 30,000,000 rubles silver, with a stipulation of guarantees for the same on mort gages. It is said that the new financial measures an nounce a change of Ministers, which intelligence is the more agreeable that it may be supposed the commercial policy of Russia will be modified. It is even affirmed that Russia has hinted the conclusion of a treaty of com merce between herself and Prussia. Little or no business was done in the Corn-market of Paris on Sunday. The few sales which took place were made at a fall of a franc or two. The intelligence from the departments announced that the price of wheat had undergone a new increase at Altkirch, Caen, Chatelle rault, Coulommiers, Chalons-sur-Saone, Laudernau, bli rebeau, Neubourg, Sable, and Valencay. It had decreased on the other hand at Abbeville, Bourges, Charleyille, Dammartin, Lille, and Laferte-Gaucher ; and continued firm at Bordeaux, Rouen, and Senlis. In Nantes and Bordeaux extensive purchase had been made for Eng land, particularly in wheat of 1840, which had advanced from 18f. and 19f. per hectolitre to 22f. 50c. and 23f. EXTRAORDINARY SUPPLEMENT TO THE MONITEUR UNIVERSAL. The Journal Le Temps announces this morning that the census is withdrawn. This statement is totally des titute of foundation. The Government has not taken any such resolution on this subject. The census con tinues, and the Ministry is determined to finish it. The plan of suppressing two companies of every bat talion appears to be decided in the mind of Marshal Soult. It is said to be likewise intended to disarm a great part of our fleet, in order to acquire the good graces cf the future Tory Cabinet. We hope that Admiral Duperre will not disgrace the close of his career by a measure which nothing can justify.—Le &ale. ESPARTEtieS manifesto against the despotical and absurd pretensions of the Papacy has been well received in the Spanish capital. The mob, ever the last to desert the ecclesiastical standard, insulted several priests in the streets of Madrid, who were supposed to be favourable to the Papal Alloetitioth in several other sties of the kingdom, in which plots for the downfal of the Regent were suspected to eltisti the populace evinced no inclination to espouse the MO of the priests and the Holy See. This shows that Spain is as ripe for ecclesiastical as for civil reform, and if too much severity be not employed against the refractory priests, a conformity in improvement between the Church and the State Will be very easily effected. All the reports which made such a noise in Paris about the outrages committed by British naval officers upon the Spanish Custom-house officers, in attempts to screen English smugglers, turn out to be mere calumnies. We suspected as much from the first. The Spanish authorities are about the last persons to quarrel with the smugglers, except the latter refuse to pay them a fair share of the profits. The smuggler has no better friends than the officers of the Spanish customs. EXPRESS FROM PARIS FRANCE. We hare received I;l;iees from Paris of Monday's date. The majority of the French Journals of Mon day are taken tip veitli observations on the census, and on the erroneous statement given yesterday by Le Temps, of the abandonment ot the meastire by Ministers. The official papers positively state that the Cabinet is determined to go through the measure in spite of all opposition. Meanwhile the riots at Lille had been very serious, and some slight dieturbance had taken place at Niurt and at Roubaix, which were soon put down ; but at Lille it required a great military force to repulse the rioters, who thatched in a body to attack the Prefecture, and to destroy the te legraph: Nat succeeding, they then went to the ci tadel; tifid pefettliWtll2( claimed the release of the prisoners thfit iffid been confined there. A company of light infantry charged dri dispersed the mob ; but the rioters formed again in the gfent square, whefe they ettecked the troops h a desperate manner • two cuirassiers ii•ae wounded. An attempt was made to raise it batrieede in Effie Grande Chaussee, but was prevented i it ebttiptni of fl)ot. It was whilst employed in arresting some IJ:diet's that the Commissary of Police received his wounds. The National Guard mustered in force . , and contributed much to restor 3 ord er. The Toulon fleet, which is about to sail, still repre sented in the French papers as destined for the 17,4 . r" - nelles, to act in conjunetion with the English fleet in the event of the Sultan's death ; but we still believe it is in tended tO intvreapt the Turkish squadron in its passage to Tunis.

The debate which ensued lasted till nearly two o'clock, Earl Fitzwillitun, Lord Lyttleton, Lord Melbourne, the Duke of Welli►igton, the earl of Coventry, the Marquis of Northampton, and Lord Brougham took part in it, the speech of the latter IsToble Lord being the best speech of the eliciting. Their Lordships divided, and the amendment moved by the Earl of Ripon was carried by 168 to 96, The Peers have set an example which, no doubt, the Commons will follow, and their Lorships' vote will pro bably give energy to the long speeches. In the Commons Me. MARK PHILLIPS, in a speech replete with facts and good feeling, moved the Address, which was saconded by Mr. J. DUNDAS. Mr. S. WORTLEY moved an amendment, similar to that moved in the Lords. Lord BRUCE seconded it in a forcible speech, which proved that his Lordship, though a new Member, is an old debater. Mr. LABOUCHERE defended the Ministerial. policy. The debate lasted till nearly Twelve o'Clock, when it was adjourned, after a brief squabble, till this day. The speech of most note and mark was delivered by Mr. ROEBUCK. Commodore NAPIER spoke for the first time in Parliameut. Both Houses were very much crowded through the whole of the evening, and iu both the Mem bers seemed to take a more than usual in terest in the debate. It was so warm lit the House of Lords that during the time the Duke of WEL LINGTON was speaking some Noble Lord was obliged to by Tcnicveti tv the open air, The rtgi* Journals of Sunday have all reached us.

' The! industriel of Rheims, in a postcript to its last number, says---" We stop the press to announce that the operation of the census is suspended." The Echo du Nord asserts that great numbers were wounded by the cavalry at Lille, and that one young man was thrust through the heart by a bayonet. Several were arrested and deposited in the citadel, Shouts of " down with the census," " down with M. HUMANN," resounded in every street. In the Commerce we find the following from Toulouse, dated the 164 h hkst,:--,. - "'The censnswns recommenced this morning,buith out any result, as the agents of Government are not suffered to enter any of the houses. At the same time SPAIN. We have received the Madrid mail of the 17th. It does not contain much news, but it is positively stated at Madrid that the Spanish Government will not renew the lease of the Isle del Rey to France. The Cortes will be prorogued or dissolved about the 25st instant. They refuse to discuss this year the project of law for the sale of the islands of Fernando Po and Annabon to England.

A Correspondent writing from that city says :—" The pub lic debt of Austria amounts to 600 millions of florins (55,000,0001.), so that each inhabitant (the population of the country being 35 millions) pays 17i florins, whilst in Prussia each pays but 94 rix dollars, in Bavaria, 121 E, in Hanover 104 E, in Saxony 7E, and in Wurtemberg 9f. In Austria the public debt is increasing instead of diminishing ; and to avoid a national bankruptcy the financial system must be modified, or changed. Her re venues are 155 millions of florins, and there are 950 convents possessing 500 millions of florins capital. The monopolies and the excessive number of functionaries cost immense sums to the State : and whilst the late fail ures show a deficit of 30 millions of florins, the assets amount to but one-third of that sum." A letter from Kirchberg of the 10th says, that the health of the Duke of Bourdeaux inspires his attendants with the greatest confidence. He sleeps well, and there is no longer any danger of inflammation. A telegraphic despatch, received at Toulon on the 17th inst., ordered all the ships in that port, amounting to sixteen in number, to put to sea immediately. A rumour prevailed that they were destined for the coast of Spain to excite an insurrection in favour of Queen Christina. The French Government cannot surely have lost its senses. Trade throughout France is suffering greatly in con sequence of the disturbances occasioned by the census.. During the riot on Thursday last at Lille, a young man was run through the heart with a bayonet. PUDLXC OPXWION. The Morning Herald, discussing the very ticklish ques tion of Tory loyalty, observes :—" Nothing is more cer tain than that the Conservative party in these kingdoms has manifested—out of Parliament, at home and abroad —the most unbounded loyalty and attachtnent to her Majesty ; and that domestic disaffection and Chartist menaces, rebellion tampered with in Canada ; and the seditious proposer of the repeal of the Union with Ireland, upheld, abetted, entertained by her Majesty's Govern• ment in London and its representatives in Dublin—have been among the most remarkable of the Whig manifesta tions of regard fur the Royal person and authority." This is a fine specimen of what the Times—a good judge of the mendacious—calls " enormous lying." When and where was it that the Tories evinced the " most un bounded loyalty and attachment to her Majesty ?" Was it at Exeter Hall, when they compared her to the woman Jezebel ? Was it at Canterbury, when they insulted her in the most outrageous manner ? Was it in Parliament, when from party, not patriotic motives, they thwarted h, l• wishes with respect to Prince Albert's income ? Was it when the melancholy case of Lady. Flora Hastings was before the public ? Or was it when they attempted to take advantage of her youth and inexperience, as respects the Bed-chamber appointments ? If these were proofs of Tory loyalty, then we grant that the Tories were loyal to the back-bone ; but we demur to that sort of loyalty , which will not bear consideration. We quote the following significant remarks from the Chronicle :—" Whatever Tory leaders or county majori ties may do, or strive to do, every prudent observer sees what is coming. The elections have not silenced the voice of truth, justice, and humanity. It rings yet louder and louder throughout the land. The symptoms of in evitable change in the Corn-laws may be abated within the walls of the House of Commons, but they are as visible everywhere else as the most obvious phenomena of the heavens or the earth. It comes on with a force like that of the laws of nature, against which it is useless for parties to win victories. The people 'do object to starve.' You cannot outvote their objection, or put it down by a resolution. It will either outlast the land lords' Parliament, or it will prove too strong for the landlords' Parliament. One or the other is as sure as fate ; which i= much more sure than any body can be of what the new majority will do with its victory." To attempt to check the current of public opinion that is now setting strongly in, in favour of a Repeal of the Corn-laws, is as rediculous as would be the attempt to roll back the waters of Niagara. The tide must have its way, and will assuredly sweep to destruction all who strive to oppose, or divert its course. Least of all, is Sir Robert Peel—the most undecided of statesmen—ca pable of thwarting the public wishes on the subject of the Corn-laws. The celebrated Mrs. Partington once tried to stop the encroachments of the Atlantic with her mop ; but even this was not a whit more Quixotic than the effbrts of the Tory faction to prevent the people from having cheap bread. The Times says :—" The baited Whigs, being resolved to die as gamely and gallantly as possible, are reported to have elaborated the address into a form, which, if their craftiness be not thwarted by superior dexterity, I will impose the necessity of responding to it with one continued negative from beginning to end. Fain would they put the House of Commons into a n apparent attitude of complete hostility to the Crown. Fain would they lay a train for a debate which they might industriously and malignantly misrepresent as a positive disrespect to the Sovereign. Fain would they inveigle the representatives of the people into an indecent wrangle with the Royal prerogative. Fain would they strain their successful practisings upon her Majesty's confidence into a perilous. provocation of her Majesty's susceptibilities of resentment. But, unless )-;'e are grievously mistaken, their plot will be balked with even more cleverness than they have shown in hatching it. The details of their ad dress will, we trust, be Dever entered on." It is to be inferred from the aboVP, we presume, that the great questions in which the people are now so greatly interested, will not even be " entered on." The Tories will put a veto on them, as things of no account. They will check all discussion with lofty disdain. This is indeed carrying matters with a high hand. The Post endeavours to show that the Tories arc closely identified with the people in their political views, observing—" The Conservative party is the slow growth of nine years. It derives its strength from the gradual pro cess of nine years' public experience. The public have found that they want steady, careful government, and that it is more safe td have a Government composed of men who are themselves intimately concerned in leading na tional interests than to have a Government dependent upoii disreputable schemers and agitators, whose whole lives have been, and are likely to be (whether cut short by the public executioner or not) continued scenes of popular excitement, and public fraud, and desperate ad venture. The British public desire a Government whose power rests upon a respectable foundation," We should be glad to know upon what " respectable foundation" the Tories stand. Is it on their principles ? They have none. Is it on their upright, undeviating consistency ? Here their deficiency is equally glaring. Is it on their known sympathies with the wants and wishes of the people ? They have scarcely a sympathy in common with them. Is it on their loyalty to a high minded and popular Queen ? Here, too, they have shown themselves as wanting in tact as decency. In a word, the Tories stand on no other foundation than that of busy intrigue and corruption, aided by the working of the Chandos clause. Let these be cut from under their feet, and they would not exist a month. EVIONEIif—VItADE—COIVILDTERCE.

SPEECH OF LORD J. RUSSELL. In pursuance of a summons from Lord John Russell, a meeting took place on Monday, foR the purpose of hearing from his Lordship an explars ltion of the course which Ministers intend to pui -sue. The meeting was a very numerous one. It inchi ded, with scarcely an exception, every Member belongini ' to the Ministerial side of the House of Commons nols • to London. His Lordship addressed the meeting to the follow i DI; effect : It was usual, he said, in the Speech from the Thro on the opening of a session of Parliament, to ay. id as much as possible any topics of an irritatin nature, or which might be calculated to produi differences of opinion. But he thought it his dut to inform them that, in consideration of t 3O peculiar circumstances connected with the presf ,nt meeting of Parliament, it was the intention of her 3 fa jesty's Government on this occasion to deviate from the usual course, and to introduce into the Royal Speec h topics as would completely develop the policy th e y - had determined to pursue, and as must inevitably ler A l to a full. discussion of that policy. From this discussion he: teal his colleagues in the Government were deters sin'-3d not to shrink, and the Speech had been so frin 'ea a s t° afford every Member an opportunity of : p ressing his sentiments upon their policy, and the • House an opportunity of recording its o p iniol t • The Speech would contain the usual topics, Ft 1 ad verting to which her Majesty's Government would, 1w was happy to s a y , be enabled to refer witt satis faction to ninny parts of their p olic y .

He did not conceal his belie;' that an amendment to the Address would be moved and carried by a considerable majority. But while- , be expressed his persuasion that this would be the last occasion on which they would meet as a party in possession of the Government of the country, ho could not refrain from expressing, at the same time„ his conviction that the political principles which united tiu were wise and just., and his confidence that, in whate;'s er hands the Government might be placed, they must u %ti mately prevail. This speech was of course loudly applauded, and t meeting separated without discussion.—Morning Post. MRS. TROLLOPE'S New WORK, "CHARLE S CazsTrenslELr " Genius, undoubtedly, affords one of the mo. it interesting subjects the imagination can dwell upon, and the ca reer of one of those " very promising" youth so frequently to be • met with, attempting to realise their ambitious hopes, is rival ing Lord Byron, when "he woke one morning and found himself: famous" in the hands of so vigorous and natural a writcr as Mrs. Trollore. cannot fail of being made as interesting a s in structive. It:is allowed that her forthcoming novel, " as Chesterfield, the Youth of Genius," is likely to be more eagerir sought after by the reading public on this account, than anref its admirable predecessors ; and as it has been stated, on thr best authority, that the pictures of the literary society of the? metropolis—an important feature in the work—excel even diet , very cleverest of her clever delineations, we are not surprised. at the eagerness with which its pui)lication is already inquired after. One of the most singular works, b o th as to object and treatment, ever put forth in the garb of a nossl• is about immediately to appe ar under the name of " Wed lock." Contrary to the time-hallowed practice of works de- of fiction, marriage, instead of being he ld u p as the grand sideratum of Young ladies, is shown to be oftener an unhapri than happy state ; and old-maidism is accortUngly elevated. into enviable dignity. The Authoress's " living instances" 0! infelicitous marriages are very numerous and very striking, Ina she seems determined they should be held out as beacons. " This," says she, " shall be done for my and not before they want it- Are they not sacrific.`ng selves by myriads? Crying down single ladies, the l ueer.s the or creation, who ought to be canonized as saints, ana tip ping over them instead—a poor set of slaves, once as free to Ct loose as themselves." ter- A numerous meeting of Tories took place yk r h o fair couv.trywoin en, ing at Sir Robert Peel's house, Privy-gardcßs, where. tactiCS were agreed to which are to be followed, if p sible, by that combination of (so called) gentlemen ra noblemen wliS) are resolved to expose the people contim ally to the perils of starvation.
