Whereas by a warrant, dated the 19th day of March, 1841, under the hands of three of the Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury, the said Commissioners, in exer cise of the power for such purpose vested in them by an Act, passed in the third and fourth years of the reign of her present Majesty, intituled " An Act for the regulation of the duties of postage," did (amongst other things) direct that on every letter, not exceeding half an ounce in weight, posted in or addressed to Hamburgh, trans mitted by the post, and passing between Ham burgh and any of the countries or places men tioned in the schedule thereto, through the United Kingdom (conveyed between Hamburgh and the United Kingdom, direct by packet boat or private ship), there should be charged and taken the rate of British postage set opposite the name of every such country or place in such schedule ; and that oh every letter, not exceeding half an ounce in weight, posted in or addressed to Lubeck, transmitted by the post and passing (either direct or via Hamburgh) between Lubeck and any of the countries or places mentioned in the schedule thereto, through the United Kingdom (con veyed between Lubeck or Hamburgh and the United Kingdom, direct by packet boat or private ship), there should, be charged and taken the rate of British postage set opposite the name of every such country or place in such schedule : And by another warrant, under the hands of three of the Commissioners of her Majesty's Treasury, dated the 31st day of August last, the said Commissioners did, in exercise of the power or authority in them for such purpose vested, direct that en every letter posted in or addressed to Bremen, transmitted by the post between Bremen and any of the countries or places mentioned in the schedule thereto, through the United Kingdom, conveyed direct by packet beat or private ship between the United Kingdom and Bremen or Hamburgh, Cuxhaven, or Hanover, there should be charged and taken the rate of British postage set opposite the name of every such country ur place in such schedule ; and in each of the said warrants, progressive additional rates of postage were directed to be charged and taken on letters transmitted as therein mentioned, exceeding half an ounce in weight, according to the scale of weight and number of rates in the said Act contained, estimating and charging each additional rate at the sum which any such letters would be charged with under such warrants if not exceeding half an ounce in weight ; and in each of the said warrants power was reserved to the Commissioners, for the time being. of her Majesty's.

Whitehall, Treasury-chambers, the 30th day of September, 1841. HENRY BARING, A. PRINGLE, J. 2IILNES GASKELL. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THU DAY. GLOBE.—Whilst it is the policy of the party now in power to deny, or at least to underrate, the distresses of the people, there is a strong tendency to exaggerate the ditlicnlties in which the nation itself has been handed over to the care of the present Government. Now it is true that embarrassments have arisen—chiefly, however, from the uncontrollable course of events, for which no human wisdom could have provided ; but, as Lord Melbourne la.st night most distinctly axtl em phatically declared, the affairs of the country have not been left to the' men now in office " in a dangerous of enormously difficult state," nor is there any barrier to the restoration of prosperity, that will not give way before a bold and vigorous, but at the same time an enlarged and liberal policy. We know that the mo tive of the Tories in overrating the extent of the ma lady is to claim undue merit for the expected cure ; and the present condition of the country is made to look very black, that it may be contrasted here after with its brighter aspect—as water is rendered unnaturally and unnecessarily dark and muddy, toshkm the virtues of a filter—or as a most rude acid illegibit scrawl is exhibited in a writing-master's show-board, foi the purpose of demonstrating the improvement that " six lessons" can accomplish by a peculiar system of instruc tion in the art of caligraphy. We shall expect that, after some few months have elapsed, we shall be asked by Sir R. Peel's journals " to look on this picture and on this"— when the exaggerated daub now painted to order, in which every object is purposely blackened to a most unsightly pitch, will be contrasted with a tableau in which the opposite extreme will be reached, and where everything will be highly and brilliantly coloured in the glaring hues of overdrawn prosperity. We shall have speci mens, too, of the improvement effected in the nation& prospects, after so many lessons from Sir Robert Peel — lessons which, from past experience, will, we have no doubt, be sufficiently severe, and may at least have the merit of finishing the education of the public in the art of properly appreciating a Conservative Government. STANDARD.—The House of Commons did not sit last night, but the proceedings of the House of Lord: were so unusually lively as to com[ensate for tie silence of the other House of PpParliament.lianmaegnet. a s Firs. Minto commenced the b us i ness of the night with at, apology for his di s p ensat i on of Lord of the Admiralty. His Lordship mention, aurae twenty promotions which he justified by r u l e: laid down by his predecessors. This would be yen welt if the twenty officers promoted had heel, th e on ly promotions made during the five years and up wards of the Noble Lord's administration, or if tht. twenty, or any of them, had been objected to spe :hilly. The truth, however, is, that in five year, Lord illinto has made, not. ty..enty, but five time, twenty - perhaps ten times twenty--appointment::. and of those which he mentioned last nigh, if any, were the appointm en t s o bj ected to. (dui ui s'exeuse s'accuse," says the pithy proverb. Lord llinto, unchallenged—uncharged by any (mt.. came forward to startle the House with a defend wholly unexpected ; and this defence ought to hart been a complete one. When a man's conscience tell: him that he ought to defend himself against the sus picion of having atused his patronage, it will not do ti present so lame an apology as Lord Minto offerer, last night. It will not do to say that " out o a hundred or two hundred appointments that have made, see, here are a score perfectly in rule for the obvious inference is, that the tuners will not bear the light. We could without difficulty find many, very many, appointments made by Lord Minto, to which his rules will not apply, and which cannot be justified upon any grounds ; but we willingly resign the matter to our excellent contemporary, the United Service Gazette, which has a kind of property in his Lordshii, and his doings—a property paid for not only in money, but in long services, for which the Noble Lord ought now to be grateful ; for to the active vigilance of the journal in question he owes it that the schedule of charges of abuse of patronage against him, heavy as it is, is not much heavier. COURIER.—The proceedings in the House of Lords last night present a few strikingly noticeable points. It does not surprise us to find the Whig ex-First Lord of the Admiralty betraying symptoms of touchy uneasi ness at the nature and tendency of the notice fur a return of the Commissions (with the name attached) issued since June by the Admiralty, distinguishing those issued after the 30th of August, the date of the virtual extinction of the late Government, as we have a tolerably strong suspis cion that the information derivable from these returns, and the light they will throw upon the doings of the Admi, ralty in the interval between the suspended vitality of the Whig Government and its final diStolution, will serve neither to enhance the character of that department over which the Noble Earl presided for impartiality, nor to excite regret for its loss in the profession more im mediately subject to its influence. But if Eat: Minto fancies that his lame and impotent attempt at vindica tion last night will weaken the force, much . less dis prove the charge, of favouritism and partiality in its distribution of patronage, in its promotions and appoint ments, that have been publicly urged against the late Board of Admiralty, and his Lordship as its head, or if he supposes that such explanations as he gave will outweigh the evidence of the official ga zette, invalidating the returns sought for, and holding up his administration of naval affairs as a model of disinterestedness and impartiality, we must, take the liberty of undeceiving him ; as to us the studied care with which he shirked the real gravamen of the charges of which he so pathetically complained, and the eagerness he evinced to encounter and demolish twally different ones, afford confirmation strong as holy wait—not of these charges being well founded—although of that they ftirnish a prer 6 mant indication—but of his Lordship's consciousness of inability fairly to meet and refute them. If we recollect rightly, the charge against the Noble Earl was one of nepotism, of showing undue and undeserved favour to his own relatives and con nections, as well as to those who were known to agree in political opinions with the Whig Government. And certainly the number of Elliots . • appointed and promoted to offices of emolument and re sponsibility, gave colour if not substance to it ; and then the vast number of promotions that took place on the very eve of his departure from office --- the choppings and changeS that oc curred, creating vacancies and furnishing fresh supplies of patronage, looked, to speak in_ the mildest 'terms of it, very suspicious. But how has the Noble Earl attempted to explain away those ugly appearances? Whj, by citing those instances of promotion that were in accordance with the rules and precedents that usually regulate such matters. THE LONDON GAZETTE (THIS EVENING.) WHITEHALL, OCT. 2.

Lord ELLENBOROUGH said that he had commu nicated with his Right Honourable Friend the Secretary of State for the Home Department on the subject, and expressed to him the anxiety he felt for the success of those measures, but his Bight Hon. Friend very justly replied that the Bill would have to undergo the investigation of a Committee of the House of Cora mon,;, as it hail in that House; anti us It timv oppozition had arisen to som e o f th e d e t a ils of the 13111, it, would be impossibl e t o procee d w ith it i n t h e present: Session. With respect to t h e question of the' N o bl e MarquiS, all he could say was that no member of the Government had loOked into the ]3ill, and — they were therefore not yet prepared to say whether they would be taken ,up us Go-.. , :ernment measures, but this he would promise, that the Bills should receive their consideration during the recess. _ _ _ _ _ _ The Duke of WELLINGTON said, that he had sup ported the Bill last Session, if again introduced he should support it again. The Marquis of NORMANBY said, he was quite , atisfied with the Noble Duke's assurance, and, therefore, unless the Government should .do so, he would himself bring in the Bill again, and trust to the assistance of the Noble Duke. POOR-LAW COMMISSION BILL. On the motion of the Duke of WELLINGTON, the Poor-law Commission Continuance Bill was read a third time and passed. Also the Exchequer Bills Fund ing Bill. Lord MELBOURNE presented several petitions, pray ing the House to take the Corn-laws into consideration. THE CORN-LAWS—THE PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT. The Earl of RADNOR wished to allude to the subject of the immediate prorogation of Parliament, a subject which excited the greatest interest in the country. He had last night understood the Noble Duke ,(the Duke of Wellington) to disclaim all intention upon the part of the Government of taking the subject of the Corn laws into their consideration.—(Cries of " No, no.") He would be glad . to find he had misunder stood the Noble Duke. The question was one deeply connected with - the national welfare and our commercial prosperity. Distress might exist in a coun try, although there might be plenty of food in it ; and that was now the case in England, for the people had not the means of purchasing food. That was a fearful state of things, and one which deserved, the immediate consideration of Parliament. He had by him a letter which he lately received from a gentleman in the country professing his own political opinions— for he was what was called a Radical—(A laugh)— end hiscorre:pondent stated that the feeling throughout the country was, that' the people had nothing to expect from Parliament ; that everything was to be attained by violence ; and that nothing would be granted to argu ment or common-sense. —(Bear.) He (the Earl ofßadnor) had always observed that there was a singular aversion to discussion upon the part of Noble. Lords opposite. If the Parliament, were now prorogued, and popular out rages should take place - during the winter, and if any thing should be done by the Government next Session, would not that be a repetition of the lesson taught to the people by the granting of Catholic Emancipation ? Would they not again be taught that that was conceded to violence which was refused to 'argument and common sense?—(Hear, hear, hear.) He would now read their Lordships a passage from another letter which he had received from the same individual, in which the writer stated that now the Government had got into office they were endeavouring topersuade the people that there was no distress. Now with respect to the question of distress, it was remarkable that while the existence of that distress was admitted and deplored, documents were produced which went to show that there was no distress at all. With regard to that part of the ques tion, however, he had that morning seen in a newspaper, purporting to be a petition to the House of Commons, signed „ A Member of the Royal College of Surgeons in London," which stated certain facts relating to the admissions into the Fever Hospital at.Matcheeter during the laSt ten years. During the first five years, which were years of manufacturing prosperity, the number of admissions amounted to 2,459, and the number of deaths to 309, while during the last five years which had been y ears of distress, the number of admissions amounted to 4,639, and the number of deaths to 853, being nearly 18 per cent. on the admission. Was it not matter worthy the consideration of Parliament, when such multitudes were. complaining of distress— when - medical men were' publishing books, calling on the clergy to exert themselves to assist in endeavouring to devise some remedy' for that distress, which was affecting so deeply both the corporeal and intellectual welfare of the people. Under such circumstances it was most painful to see the Government turn a deaf ear to their applications, and Parliament dismissed without having considered the subject. Ile repeated that he thought the Government was incurring a grave responsibility in advising her Ma jesty. to adopt the step of proroguing the Parliament. The gentleman to whom he had before alluded in another part of his letter stated that the Government should re collect that the greater number of the Chartist leaders were now out of prison, and that they were endeavouring to persuade the working-people that a repeal of the Corn - laws would do them no good.—(" Hear, hear," from the Duke of Richmond.) The Noble Duke seemed to be of the same opinion, would he agree with the other doc trines of the Chartist leaders, that all the land ought to be taken, immediate cultivation, that the present possessors of the land had no right to it, but that it ought all to belong to the State. The writer then went on to say that great dismay pre vailed in Manchester, on account of the Chartist meet ings, and that if i i i ustice were done to the people, it would piat - th to all those absurdities, and the people who live by promulgating then]. The letter was from a very plain man, but one who very well under stood the subject. He hoped Noble Lords opposite would lay these things to their hearts, and that some thing should be done before the prorogatione—(Hear, hear, from the Opposition.) The Duke of WELLINGTON said that the person who advised her Majesty ought to consider well before he submitted his advice ; and be (the Duke of Wel lingtoti) would do so. But ho would tell the Noble Lord opposite what he would not do. He would not allow himself to be intimidated by the Noble Lord and his correspondent—a radical, the Noble Lord called him—(A laugh)—from doing his duty—let the consequences be what they might which should follow upon the advice, which, to the best of his judgment, he should think it his duty to submit to his Sovereign.— (Hear, hear, from the Ministerial benches.) It was his (the Noble Duke's) " opinion, that there was tot a wiser order upon their Lordships' Standing Or ders than that which provided that reference should not be Wade to former , debates—(Hear,)—and thought that when Noble Lords thought proper to pay no at tention to that order, and to refer to former speakers, they ought to be correct as to what passed, and not at tribute words to other Noble Lords which never were uttered--(Hear, hear)—nor give a meaning to those words, which the Noble Lord to whom they were attri buted never could have intended to convey, If the Noble Lord (Radnor) had attended to what oeetitted last night, he would have known that it was not him, but the Noble - Viscount opposite (Lord Melbourne), who alluded to the suhject, - -(1 - 1ettr) The Noble Viscount said that if he (the Mike Of Wellington) would .give notice of bringing the fitidet the consideration of the House, he would secure a full of Members. His (the Noble Duke's) answer to that was, The ho iv bitid not announce any intention which he did nit entertain ; in order to insure a full attendance.--=-(Heere heart) ile Was sure the noble Viscount opposite would allow that ; what he allittleti It 4 itiO. the attendance of Members in the present Seision of Parlitithefitsse -- -(friear, from Lord Melbourne.) He did not think the Noble Viscount meant that notice should be given for six Months, or any distant period.—(Hear, hear.) In faot, the Noble Vistbiiht thetiht lib stith thing-- he meant now. fTH liarectly agreed with the Noble Lord that It would bring a large number of persons to the House. But whet he StatCd Was perfectly true. He was not prepared tti brink ibriiiird at the present time a review of the Corn-law. What he stated WM' ti/at it tress a large and serious question which required consideratioh its all its Parts; entl must be so considered in all its parts and all it beefitigt ih feferenee to commerce and finances, and the 'other detesting With tshieh the Corn-law was connected 14 the late Übreffitnent its different communications, as f+-d1 ritrn the F .thitilie ha froth MitilEters in both Houses of Parlietnent: It was tree he brought in the elisting law and iidVised its adoption, and he could not recollect mhOiet• it met ivi,th the opposition of the Noble Lord op posite bf tibi i hitt Ite hgd at Aiffetent times since discussed the question, gig !Ai ihfle s itVOred by petusin g important decumentS conncciA with btiheitle of the law to refresh his memory on the subject. lie I:si static ktisiteledge of the sullject, but it stood in a differen: light now k i in what t did .Nhen he brought it forward in the first instance, nonuse they had the knowledge of the last; the pfetediug, and the other sessions tti guide theft: Therefore the ques tion now stood in. a different positiofi fit& ivhsit it did some yeers age, and they must give it deep :lite-M.4m; and not enbinit . any scheme on the subject to this or the taller tense of Perliament which was not fully coneitlerefl, and considered hut billy with reference to the other qoestiolia Willi Which it had been connected in the different motions made in the other House of Parlia ment, and discussed in that House, but considered oleo in reference to treaties with other Powers, and the treaties of other Powers with each other; and combining with those considertitions that general relations connected with the social systelti of the countryi tle agreed With the Noble Lord that it was a most serious Etiltetibt4 and net, to be taken up in a hurry, but must be maturely eolitidered. The Noble Lord had mixed up with the debate of last night some conversation which occurred two nights before and hed taken erroneous views on that occasion also. What he said was, that in come parts of the country great distress existed, but that the distress did not arise from any want of food in the country. W hat he said was that there was no tidnget of itant of provisions. The Noble Lord himself had stated that ' there were 1,700,000 quarters of corn in thq country, and be (the Plli{e Af %hilltop) knew that there heti bcvn yo j inf) quarters iu litt , tY tat. 114 tbintnence ioeht of the ptesbnt Session b! Pitrliament, Malting in all nearly 6,obo;bbb quatteta: He thyrefore concluded dast, ;lob ebuld hb dißtiOki iitisifik Mtn the absolute want of corn. There was distress, to doutr, tittmg to went Of . work, deficiency in the wages of labour, and itith the nonsideration of which he would Tot at present enter; out he never herd from any one whatever of any practical measure which could relieve such evils, They were the consequences of a variety of causes which Parliament, if it sat till next February, could not remove. Be was sorry to have a-chilled their Lortlthips, but he thought it right at least to state e hat hnd aetvally gassed u former occasion. Lor.l KINNAIRD was glad of the Noble lakes ex-. planation, because it removed an erroneous impression which had gone abroad. The present. Government was brought into' power by monopoly, and it could hardly be expected that any effectual measure for the alteration of the Corn-laws would be passed by them. They called for tinie and he believed they required it . for the materials of which the Government was formed, were of so heterogenous a nature. that a considerable time must elapse before they could concur upon any one measure, or perhaps it would be required to turn 61; , ., or two of the Members out of the Cabinet, in order :to 'bring it to a proper mind. Ho had pertainly thought, after the speedh of the Noble Evl, and the speeche=s Which had been extracted from , this Thu. Baronet at ' the head of the Goveminent; that they were prepared to state to the House the principle upon which that Government was formed. Like the :Noble Lord who had preceded him, he would warn theii Lordships of the clanger of delay. He had received daily accounts of the great distress which prevailed, and of the danger of postponing the consideration of measures of relief. The Government was taking upon itself a heavy responsibility ; and it • was nothing more nor less than burkinu the question to prorogne Parliament with out considering the starving condition of the people. The Duke of WELLINGTON said that with re ference to the prorogation of Parliament the Noble Lord .must be aware- that he had asked a most improper question. He did not know what the Noble Lord meant by the word " monopolists 2" The Duke of RICHMOND said the Noble Lord mil,' have been after the stag-hounds when he (the Duke of Richmond), had made the speech referred to. What he had said was, that if Sir Robert Peel came into office and was mad enough to support the Bs. fixed duty, he would tell him and those who supported him that the landed interest, who had helped him into power, would not have the slightest hesitation in turning him out. He had myde use of no threat, but he only answered the arguments of his Noble Friend. He would not be led on that occasion into a dis sion of the Corn-laws. He was not one of those who thought that the Corn-laws ought never to be altered, but if they were altered, protection should be: afforded to the agricuttural interest His Noble Friend had been reading the productions of the Anti-Corn-law Committee at Manchester, and no doubt thought he had correctly stated his (the Duke of Richmond's) sentiments; but he thought it would be best to make this application. Lord CLIFFORD (of Chudleigh) was happy to hear from the Noble Duke that there was no fixed time to which Parliament was to be prorogued, and therefore that the • people might entertain seine hope that-their distressed condition would be taken into consideration much earlier than was generally sup posed. He had no fear for want of food on the country, but what lie dreaded was increase of discontent, fea which he saw no remedy except a temporary coining forward, on the part of the aristocracy, especially that part that had shown themselves the richest at the last elections. This country was burdened with a debt of 800 millions, and while it was so, it would be impossible for them to frame a Corn-law such as they might do if it did not exit The very fact of the delay so strenuously insisted upon by the present Government, showed that the work of governing this country was one of considerable difficulty. This country bad a right to expect their Lordships to come forward with that assistance which would be necessary for the suste nance of the poor during the time which , her Ma jesty's present Government delayed their measures. While he was on his legs he begged to give notice that early next Session he would move for the appointment of a Committee to inquire whether it was not in the power of the Governor of Madras to protect her Majesty's subjects according to the laW as set tled in 1833. That inquiry was rendered necessary because the Noble Lord, the President of the Board of Control, appeared to be as unable to understand that law as his (Lord Clifford's) speeches.,-(Hear.) 'The Marquis of NORMANBY did not know whether it was necessary to trouble their Lordships with a rather extraordinary letter he had received from a Mr. Lecom, idio had charged • hiM with having taken steps to suppress the production of certain papers with reference to proceedings that had taken place in the borough of Ureat Yarmouth. The letter was written in complete misapprehension of the facts, for their Lordships were aware that the correspondence was nut produced, because the Noble Earl who had put the .question to him had not moved for it. SLAVERY. Lord BROUGHAM rose to call the attention of their Lordship's to a subject of very great importance, and on which, as their existed happily no difference of opinion in this House or the other House of Parliament, and as there indeed was a singular unanimity on the question in every part of the kingdom, it would be the less necessary for him Ito trouble their Lordships at any very considerable length. The subject was the slave-trade und slavery, and he believed there existed in no `part of either House of Parliament or the country any description of persons who felt otherwise than the strongest and most intense desire to see that traffic extinguished, and to' see the state of slavery as universally as with all prac ticable expedition extinguished. The grOund upon which he felt it necessary to trouble their Lordships on the present occasion, was, that great misapprehen sion, he understood, had gone forth on the stare of the law respecting both Slavery and the slave trade, as it at present existed in that country. He had presented a petition to their Lordships, ten or twelve days ago, containing a variety of allega tions upon that subject, and he had distinctly stated at the time that the truth of the allegations and the responsibility for the accuracy of these statements must rest upon the respectable petition ers who had brought the matter before the House. It would would appear that a large amount of the capital of the country was embarked not cnly in maintaining slavery in foreign settlements, but actually in supporting and maintaining the slave-trade itself. He deemed it to be expedient in going over the different settlements to specify those parts in which he understood it, from the best attention he could give, not to be contrary to the law as it now stood—those settlements which he deemed to be of doubtful chaeacter, and those set tlements in which it was clearly and distinctly prohibited. Now, as the first class, those things which were alleged in the petition to have been done by British subjects, and which he took to be clearly contradictory to law. The law was that any British subject, in any part of the world whether in that part of the world the slave trade Wl3 lawful or illegal—that any .British, subject even in a part of the world where the slave-trade was not only allowed, but encou raged by law (if there were such it country)—that that slave-trading, if partaken of by a British subject, was a felony. Liable to transportation fur life was that British subject if he committed that felony on the high seas, or within the jurisdiction of the Admiralty. (LEFT SPEAKING.) MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London Mercantile Journal of October 5.) SCOAL—The demand for West India Sugar has increased, but it is still almost limited to The middling bright grocery, anti strong grey and yellow descriptions for refining, and a good business has been done in these sorts, but not to the extent that it might have been, had the supply afforded a better assortment of samples ; the prices realised are a shade higher than last week in most instances. Of the lower qualities, however, the market presents a good show, but they are still com paratively neglected, and in most instances have been sold 6d to is lower. Good Antigua has sold at 66s to 66s 6d, middling and good middling Jamaica at 64s to 65," 6d, low middling St. Vincent's at 59s 6d, low mid grey Trinidad at 655, and brown Tobago at 54s per cwt.

About . half-P .re d 7 o'clock on Friday evening an alarming accident eceto in Chatham. place, Blacktriars, occasioned by tile GI sion of a cab with an omnibns.
