MORNING EDITION was no case for a prosecution. He put it to Honourable Members whether they would consider it just that their characters should be injured by a formal order for a prosecution of this mi . Lure, when there was no precedent for the proceeding, " • and the present House of Commons had so nearly ter minated its existence ? He thought the prosecution, under such circumstances, would be most unjust, and he trusted that the House would not consent to the motion. Sir R INGLIS explained. It was not the Committee, but that House, which he had compared to a Grand Jury. He had adopted a comparison used by those who had preceded him. Mr. PRINGLE said a great deal had beenbronght out in the Committee which was entitled to the notice of the House. 'As one of the Committee, he thought there was good ground for the present motion. The Committee had made no special report, because they did not think they would be justified in doing so ; and they considered also that it would be much better for the House to take no tice of it in a formal way, than'that the Committee should have done so. He trusted that the vote the House would come to that night would vindicate its own pro ceedings, and punish the guilty parties. Such being his views and wishes, he would support the motion of his Right Hon. Friend. • Mr. HUTT had been also a member of the Commit tee, and, as such, he thought that the House, if it a 'opted the course it was proposed to pursue, would stultify itself and i:s proceedings. He felt convinced that the present question had been bi o ight forward, not so much for the purpose of putting a i end to bribery, as from a hostile feeling on the part of Hon. Members on the other side of the House. Mr. BRAMSTON had also been a member of the Committee, and, as such, he felt convinced that it had acted as it had done from the hest of motives.— (Cries of "Hear, hear.") He looked at the present case as if it was one that had been brought before him as a Magistrate. He looked to see whether there was enough evidence to commit the man, and it was his firm belief that there was. Such being his views, he should vote in favour of the motion of his Hon. Friend. Sir T. COCHRANE supported the motion, and said he would vote not only for a Bill to put an end to bri bery, blitOne calling upon a Member to account for every shifting of his expenditure at his election. • The ATTORNEY-GENERAL trusted the House would not expect him to take any part in that debate If the evidence to be brought forward would support a charge of bribery, he would prosecute upon fair and ho nourable principles ; but, of course, upon such a case the House would not expect him to give a vote. Mr. WYNN replied. He knew nothing of the case except from the Report of the Committee, and he thought there was evidence enough given before them to warrant the prosecution of Dr. Webster for gross bribery. Mr. WARD gave notice, that, on Friday next, he • should call the attention of the House to the Special Report of the Committee on the Cambridge and Ludlow Election petitions.—(Cheers.) Strangers were ordered to withdraw, but no division took place, the motion being agreed to without a division. • NEW PENAL SETTLEMENT. Sir C. GREY then rose to bring forward the mo tion of which he had given notice for the appointment of a Select Committee to inquire into the fitness of her Majesty's territory of Labrador for a penal settlement. The firs - i. point which he would rely upon was its proxi mity to that country, it being only about ten days' sail, while at present they were compelled to incur an enor mous expense in transmitting their convicts 16,000 miles to-lire-very-eatipodes. There was nothing in the climate prejudicial to health, and there was abundant employ ment for any number of convicts that might i.e sent there. He believed it would materially increase their trade with that country, which at present amounted to upwards . of half a million. He was glr.d t.. • had taken that opportunity of bringing the subject before the House. He would not, however, think of pressing his motion to a division ; but he trusted that nett Session some Member of influence would take np the subject. • Mr. FOX 3,IAULE could not allow the matter to pass without observing that in the present advanced stage of the Session, the appointment of a Select Committee to inquire into a subject was completely out of the question. 'He also differed from the Hon. Gentleman in his views with reference to the distance at which such an establish ment ought to be founded. Lord MAHON concurred in the inutility of appoint ing a Committee to inquire into the subject at the pre sent period of the session and the prospects of the House. He would take that opportunity of calling attention to the state of the convicts at Woolwich. The number of those unfortunate persons at present confined there was 4,000, which was 400 more than the number there last year. That continuous increase was, he had no doubt, .one of the causes which produced diseases among the convicts. Mr. F. MAULE said that both among the troops and convicts at Woolwich an epidemic prevailed, which ac counted for the ill-health that was said to exist there. Sir T. COCHRANE would defy any one to keep con • victs at Labrador, unless they kept them within four walls. The coast of Labrador during the whole of the summer afforded the utmost facilities for escape, and daring the winter it would be impossible to employ them. Sir C. GREY explained. Sir R. PEEL wished to ask the Hon. Gentleman whether he understood him rightly that the question of establishing a new penal colony had engaged the atten tion of the Government. Mr. FOX MAULE said the Right Hon. Gentleman • must have misunderstood him if he understood him to say that the Government contemplated any new penal settlement All he meant to state was this, that as the Noble Lord had brought the question before the public he was not sorry the Right Hon. Gentleman had sug gested some particular spot, in order that the public might see the difficult y there was in fixing on any place for the object. The Government was satisfied with the present penal settlements and with the hulks, and until the experimental prison should be completed it would be impossible to iulopt any other system. Sir R. PEEL asked what were the number of convicts sent out annually under the present system? He knew they had been greatly diminished, but he wished to know the exact number. Mr. FOX MAULE would have been prepared to answer the question had he had notice of it. Convicts sentenced to transportation for seven years were de tained either in the hulks at home or sent to the hulks at Gibraltar. Lord MA HON could answer that question.—(A laugh.) In 1839 the number of convicts in the hulks amounted to 1,300 ; they had since increased to 3,650, and in the estimates for the present year, which if they had been brought forward in the regu lar *ay he should certainly have opposed, it was proposed to raise them to 4,000. The number sent abroad ranged from 1,800 to 2,000 annually. He would now ask the Hon. Gentleman when it was probable that the returns for which he had moved in last March, of the evidence taken before the Coroners' Inquests on convicts who had died at Woolwich, would be laid before the House. Mr. FOX MAL - LE said the Coroner's notes of evi dence belonged exclusively to themselves, the same way as Judges' notes, and if they refused to produce them, there was no means of compelling them to do so, and in this ease, also in the case of similar returns, moved for by the Right Hon. and Gallant Member for Lincoln relative to certain inquests in Poor-law Unions, he had requested the Coroners to furnish the notes of evidence, and that was all he could do. Sir C. GREY would certainly-bring the subject for ward again next session if he had a seat in the new Par liament.—The motion was then withdrawn. Mr. J. STEWART withdrew his motion of which he b a d given notice, to bring in a Bill to lessen the ex penses attending small properties. RAILROADS IN IRELAND. Sir R. FERGUSON presented a petition from Lor denderry in favour of the plan for establishing railroads in Ireland. Lord MORPETH, in rising for leave to bring in a Bill for the purpose of establishing railroads in Ireland, said that in the present state of the session he should not move fir leave to introduce a Bill of any importance, i h any other design than that of having it printed, so as to give information to the public generally on the subject, more especially to that portion of it mole immediately concerned. He would merely then refer to a statement which had been made on the occa sion of his bringing forward this motion. The Right Hon. lronet the Member for Tamworth, towards the conclusionof his; i speech last week, had made a slight an d ramble allusion to this motion, as if it had been brought forward with a view of propping up the Government on the eve of a general election. The fact was, that _certain private individuals had come forward and made a pro position on the subject to the Government. He would merely state what that proposition was, and not enter .at any length into any of the circumstances connected with it. Re was still of opinion that the pro osition whichhe had first brought forward on the . feet f the GOv ernmen t u ndertaking various railways in Ireland, waq the most expedient plan. But as when he •had;/ brought it forward he had reason to believe -that it would not meet with the assent of the Lea sla ture he : had withdrawn it, and had not attempted again t o i ntro d uce it, although he believed t h at persons of s/tparties had since expressed themselves in its favour. A propositi on on that subject had been submitted to the Government on the part of certain individuals of great character, ;station, and financial ability, and although in making that proposition they had doubtless imagined that they were, not entering upon; a hazard ous speculation, vet he honestly believed that they had been principally induced to take up the project, because they believed that it would be of advantage to Ireland. —(Cheers.) Those gentlemen had adopted, as the basis of their calculations, the Report of the Railway Com missioners, for which the country was so much indebted to the assiduity and energy of his late excellent and la mented friend, Mr. Drummond.—(Loud cheers.) They had proposed to the Government to raise a capital of 1,300,000/., to be applied in the first instance to the completion of the southern line of rail way, that from Dublin to Limerick, which would go quite across the island, and would unite the two seas; the works to be carried on under the exclusive superin tendence of Commissioners to be appointed by the Go vernment, and in order to obviate any jealousy as to the the selection of these Commissioners by the Govern ment, it was proposed to nominate them in the Bill, ang they would consist of Sir John Burgoyne, Mr. Ren nie, and Mr. Jones, who had been the Secretaries to the bay Commission. The sum was proposed to leln e s of debentures, and the expenditure er of seven of a Board of Con trol- consisting vernment had reas on seven members, and the Go all .yarties w ou l d be t ° hope that gentlemen of sernees as members miind wiling to give their The debentures, when signedsuch Board gratuitously. ! ' two Commissioners and ' by two Members of the bY of Control, to bear an interest of 4 per cent-, and .in rtatt should not be . made gcod by the profits of the teed to be paid by the countries which Tvo.tuirbertrabn; the railwly pfming thrsugh them. In addition to h the interest of 4 per cent. the holders of the debentures would be entitled to one-half the surplus profits. The Commissioners named in the Bill were to have the sole direction of the works. The lands neces sary were to be taken in the manner to be pro ' vided by the Act. The Bill contained further powers enabling the directors to extend the line to Cork, and also to enable other parties to make lines in other parts of Ireland at the same time. A deposit of 10 per cent. on the capital to be paid up before the Act should come into operation. Such were the main features of the proposal which these gentlemen had made to the Go vernment ; and as at present it was not his intention to elicit the opinion of the House as to its merits, but merely to lay the Bill before the House, in order that it might be considered fully both by the House and by the people of Ireland, he should not enter into any dis cussion as to the merits of the scheme. In bringing for ward the measure at the present time, his only object was to give facilities to the present Government, or if it should be displaced, to any other that might succeed it, for bringing forward a measure calculated to benefit the population of Ireland. Mr. SHAW, in seconding the motion, was glad to bear testimony to the great attention which the Noble Lord had paid to the subject. In answer to a question from Lord STANLEY, Lord MORPETH said the same plan would be adopted in taking land as that in the Shannon Naviga tion Bill ; and in answer to Mr. Sergeant Jackson, he would state that the counties would be assessed in pro portion to the benefits they derived from the railway. Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN approved of the measure. He thought there could be no objection to the principle of rendering the counties liable to a four per centage on the expense of the undertaking. He was sure that even a larger per centage would be realised by the profits from the lines. He therefore approved of the measure, although he reserved to himself the right to object to any of its details hereafter, as he might think fit. Mr. F. FRENCH regretted that his Noble Friend had not followed the recommendations of the Railway Commissioners ; but he would willingly support the mea sure before the House as the next best plan. Mr. LUCAS approved of the measure of the Noble Lord, and he thought the thanks of the House were due to him for the pains he had taken upon the subject.. Mr. LITTON gladly hailed any measure which, by giving railways to Ireland, would increase commerce and intercourse in that country. Leave was then given to bring in the Bill. On the motion of Mr. MARK PHILIPS it was or dered that the Clerk who attended the Committee on the Copyright of Designs in the last Session of Parliiament, had leave to attend at the next Summer Assizes at Liver pool, and give evidence in a certain action now pending between William Ross, plaintiff, and Edward Wording ton, defendant, and to take with him and to produce to the Court and the Jury the Minutes of Evidence, and all other proceedings whatsoever had and taken under and appertaining to the said Committee. Sir J. Y. BULLER moved that the Committee on West India Means be instructed to send for and exa mine the Committee appointed to inquire respecting the port to be selected for the arrival and departure of steam vessels conveying mails to the West Indies. After a few words from Mr. Freshfield, Captain Pechell, Sir Thomas Cochrane, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir J. Y. BULLER said he should not press the mo tion against what appeared to be the sense of the House. The motion was then withdrawn. Mr. WYSE brought up the Report of the Committee of Supply, and the several resolution , were agreed to. The New South Wales Bill and the Western Australia Bill severally went through a Committee. The reports were ordered to be received on 'Wednesday (this day). The Houses of industry (Ireland) Bill went through a Committee. 'The Report on the Insolvent Debtors (Ireland) Bill was further considered. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Half-past Twelve o'Clock. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. CHRONICLE.—It is very idly argued that Ministers ought to resign on the vote of Saturday . moraing, and not advise her Majesty to dissolve Parliament. What justifica tion could there be for such a course? Three hundred and twelve Members have voted their want of confidence in the present Administration ; but, by the very same process, three hundred and eleven have voted their want of confidence in the candidate administration ; and to these must be added all the voluntary absentees, without pairs, for the Tory party avowedly voted to its la-t man. Now, if the voluntary ab sence of eight Members indicated a want of confidence in the present Ministry, et more strongly did the fact indicate their want of confidence in those aspiring to be their suc cesears. So that if 312 Members lack confidence in the Whig leaders, 320 (including the Speaker), lack confidence in the Tory leaders. Adding pairs and tellers, makes the num bers 333 ; and is it fitting that the reins of Government should be assumed by a party from whom 333 Members of the House of Commons withhold their confidence ? Would it have been right, just, or honourable, for Ministers, by resigning, to hand over the powers of office to a party in this predicament ? Would it have been fair towards the majority of the House ? Would it have been honourable towards a Sovereign who has . already, single-handed, resisted the fraudulent influence of which that party would have made her the unwilling agent? Would it have been honest towards the nation, which would . thus have been delivered over, bound hand and foot, into the power of those whom it so long struggled to dispossess ? Would it have been true to the principles of that wise and beneficent policy for which the Government has en countered this infuriate hostility, and by which alone the prosperity of the country can be secured ? A plainer obligation cannot be conceived than that by which Ministers are bound to give the people an opportunity of speak ing for themselves, and practically making their option between the opposing systems of monopoly and anti-monopoly. It , could not have been avoided but by a gross dereliction of duty. They owe it to themselves, to the Sovereign, and to the nation. Nor will the cause of the Queen, the country, and no mono poly, be reineuished as hopeless by any honest man while there is yet a battle to be fought fur them at the hustings. The ensuing polls will be taken on the largest and most inter esting set of practical questions that ever came before a com munity. Every vote will tell, ay or no, upon some great public interest, now sacrificed to class cupidity and power. To blink this fact, recourse will be had by the Tories to all sorts of mystification' and falsehoods; but still the truth must come out, that the constituencies are deciding, not merely on men but on measures, not upon a party but a policy, and on a policy which involves consequences of daily and hourly importance. TIMES.—The vote of Saturday morning has produced its effect. Every one knew that Ministers were too far committed with their supporters to resign without dissolving, and there fore no one can be surprised that they do not now adopt that course. The result which we expected from the success of Sir R. Peel's motion was that which has followed—an aban donment of the threatened conversion of the House of Com mons into an arena for electioneering agitation about the Corn laws, and a resolution on the part if Ministers to appeal immediately to the country. We were fully persuaded that they would not insult Parliament by bringing forward any public business of importance after the House hid empha tically declared them to be retaining office in violation of the sprit of the Constitution not because we gave them credit for any sincere respect for Parliament, or aany reluctance whatever to govern by coups d'etat, but simply because we knew that in their case the attempt, if made, would be certain to fail, and the personal consequences of failure might be serious. No men were ever more entirely of Colonel Butler's opadon in the play, that " after all, the dearest thing that a man has is himself," than her Majesty's present advisers. They have given way, therefore : the Con stitution has bsen saved the blow, Parliament the humilia tion, and the country the unseemly exhibition of a " discus , sion without any final result," anti " speeches intended for the hustings rather than for any usetul purpose of legislation." The squibs and crackers of the Government Press will receive no echo within the walls of St. Stephen's ; the Anti-Corn- law League must reserve the miserable garniture of its shrunkeu coffers for some better purpose than that of publishing and distri buting inflammatory pamphlets, purporting to be speeches deli vered by Cabinet Ministers from their places in Parliament. Lord John Russell's Anti- Corn-law oration, which was to h ave produced such wonderful effects, has seen the light still-born, a dead unshapely thing, with the dimly-described lineaments of arguments that were to have been, much like that disagreeable phenomenon which offends the eye and turns the stomach, when we break open an egg in which the process of incuba tion has been prematurely interrupted. Anything more com pletely chapfallen than the Noble Lord's speeches of last night, in one of which he admitted that " he felt deeply the diffi culty of remaining i n o ffi ce a ft er th e vo t e o f th e o th er even ing," it would be impossible to conceive. Almost inaudible in tone, confused in manlier, and prevaricating in substance, he gave evident proofs of a mind ill at ease, discontented with itself on account of the past, and despairing of the future. It was the gamester who had staked everything, and was just beginning to realize the knowledge that everything was lost. HERALD. —Lord Melbourne, Lord John Russell, and Lord Morpeth ; Mr. Macaulai and the Marquis of Normanby ; Sir John Ilobhouse and Mr: Sheil have steeped themselves over and over again to the very ears, in the most troubled waters wars of party, i n t h e i r pursuit of popularity • and those waters in which th e y h ave so much delighted are' now rising upon and threaten to annihilate them, The Liberal Premier who coquetted,---as Earl Grey (to be sure) had done before him—with th e d emocratic asso ciations of Birmingham, and Westminster, and even with the high priest of Socialism it self,—the Noble Secretary for the Colonies who made the unforgotten and unfor givea h b a le ve by turns c our t e d pool,—and all th e i r co ll ea g ues speech at Liver and been courted by,—invoked and received the in ta t assistance and comforting & of Ul tra- R adical, Republican , Socialinst demagogues,—anybody, in sho r t, prov i ded only that he would be their liege man, their active and uncompromising partisan. What happens ? That these bad inst. uments of " bad eminence," tee those who fi rs t pave d the way , by their own reci procal dissensions, by their unrea s o na bl e demands, and by uncompromising pertinacity in enfercing them,—for the down_ fal of their former patrons; and who now turn round,—if not to exult over, vet at least to taunt and rebuke them for their overthrow ! A righteous catastrophe for those, who, called on by their own private station and character, but still more loudly called en by . the responsibilities, the claims, and the dignity of their offices, to keep the strict and even line of constitutional duty, have deviated into crooked and dark and slippery paths, in order to unite secretly in inauspicious " compacts" with men who, having the "cause cf freedom" inscribed on their flags—and with the name of " liberty" breathing from their lips, have ever proposed to themselves only the accomplishment of the ends contemplated by their own reckless selfishness, or their sordid ambition! Let us pause one moment, to consider who they were, on first en tering the ranks of office, who are now, it may be said, scat tered in ignominious route and disorder in a conflict at which the whole empire has been looking on with intense eagerness. We ask what arc the benefits they have reaped for the people-- what the additions to their own reputation, from their concur rence in the " solemn compact"entered into at Lichfield Howe —that political Council of Trent of which Mr. Sheil has come forward on several occasions as at once the champion and the historisn ? GLOBE.—If the question now about to be submitted to the decision of the country, by an appeal to the electoral bodies, were to be placed before any impartial person, or number of persons, in its abstract form, and without relation to the po litical or chess interests which are mixed up with its discussion, it would be at once settled as one on which but one verdict could be pronounced. The prosperity, the very existence, of a nation like that of England is obviously, in no small measure, dependent on commerce and manufactures. To persist in a course of fiscal policy which tends to exclude our manufactures from the markets of the world, and offers a bounty to other nations to become the fabricators of the very articles on the production and disposal of which our own capi talists and population must depend for employment and suste nance, would, to such' an observer, be abundant evidence of fatuity in the Statesmen who would introduce or persist in up holding such a system, and would be held decisive of their un etnees to govern the nation. Yet this is the very ground on 1 which the Tories rest their claim to the confidence of Parlia ment and of the country ! A majority of the present House of Commons has voted that a prohibitory duty on the importation of corn is essential to their intetests. The land owners thus modestly assert that they must be protected by the Legislature at the expense of the other great interests of the country. In other Words, that as they cannot live as they would like to live, on the fair market price of their land, the deficiency must be made up to them, whatever it may cost the rest of the nation--at the expense of driving the manufat - turers out of the kingdom, with the fearful aggregate of mi sery which must inevitably be entailed on the manufacturing masses by such a result. The attempt of the advocates of the present restrictive duties to fasten upon the Government the imputation, that it proposed the measures which the house of Commons has refused to sanction, for the purpose of getting up an agitation for party objects, is as false as it is futile. Is it like:y that, even if the subject had net been forced upon the Govern meat by its own intrinsic importance, the great manufacturing communities would have submitted much longer to the mono poly—would have quietly looked on, while they saw their trade diminishing, their capital decreasing, their workmen idle and clamorous for bread, and, in short, certain ruin to their pro spects and their property inflicted, in order to gratify the craving cupidity of the landowners, whose interests were re presented as of paramount importance to every other, and to which, therefore, the entire population must be sacrificed, that they may be aggrandized ? STANDARD.—Had the motion of Sir Robert Peel been productive of no other result than that of defeating the inten tion of Ministers to use the House of Commons as the medium of their electioneering addresses, and of compelling them to make their long-threatened appeal, before they have time to organise the several conspiracies they had premedi tated against the most important interests of the country, there would have been ample ground of congratulation. It was not, however, to be expected that men who had already violated both the letter and spirit of the Constitution, by re maining in office after successive defeats had satisfied every one save themselves that they no longer posses-ed the con fidence of the House of Commons, would abandon their tenure so long as it was possible for them to flatter them selves with the chance of some new and happy diversion in their favour. But we firmly believe, that but fir the determined and business-like conduct of Sir Robert Peel last evening, a new trick was intended to have been added to the many sleights of hand of these political juggler., and that, could Lord John have escaped unquestioned with his six months' estimates, he would have been in no hurry to re assemble a new Parliament. He had, however, no alternative but to consent to the pledge extorted from him by Sir Robert Peel, and was thus deprived of the power of further equivocating on the subject. In the course of his speech Lord John Russell offered as an excuse for a dissolution of Parlia ment at the present juncture, the assumed fact, that the two great parties are so equally balanced, that were Sir Robert Peel to succeed to the Government, he could not hope to carry on the public business ; eight members having by their ab sence evinced their want of confidence in both parties. His Lordship appears to have overlooked the fact, however, that whilst Lord Melbourne and his colleagues have had large majorities against them on several vital questions of their policy, and would have been left in repeated and still larger minori ties on others even more important, but for the timely aid sf Sir R. Reel and his friends, the Conservative majority, small as it was on Saturday, may be considered the lowest estimate of Sir R. Peel's strength. But no one knows better than Lot d J. Russell that the influence of the Government would of itse4 supply an additional number of votes to Sir R. Peel abundant for all his purposes. Had the majority of one been on the side of Ministers, it would have supplied them with no pretext for an ovation, seeing that on most other great questions they would be certain to have considerable majorities against them. COURIER.—Lord John Russell's denial of the double budget—that is, of the " fair and foul weather budgets," as appositely characterised by Sir R. Peel, will hardly satisfy the country, even with the certificate of its truth attached by Mr. La! ouchere. For ourselves, however, we will not be so un courteous as to refuse credence to the denial, so far as it can be construed to extend. But it extends clearly no further than the disclaimer of a double budget, both concocted at the same time, whereas it may have been the fact—and we believe was so— that the new sugar duties, timber duties, impost duties, and Anti Corn-law budget, was a scheme never seriously thought, nor the heads of it thrown together at all, however loosely, until Lord John's Irish Registration Bill had been hooted out of the House, and Mr. Baring's final conviction, from the financial returns then made up for the year, of the frightful deficiency which had grown against. the Exche quer under the penny post blunder and miserable hand-to mouth shifts of Vast fiscal system of himself and his predecessor. And we are, moreover, satisfied that, to this very day, no scheme for a new budget is actually drawn up in any order or detail fit for presentation, or exits as such, either in the Trea sury archises or those of Lord John's own department The clap-trap announcement of a new and forthcoming scheme was resorted to only because the wretched Government found itself at a dead lock, and therefore, as a desperate expe dient for retrieving so much popularity as might help it to a majority in a new Parliament, cast forth this random firebrand scheme as the means of a new agitation among the constituencies. We are here judging Lord Juhn Russell more charitably than what we should be justified in doing from his own recent antecedents ; for we cannot forget that within the last few weeks he formally stated in the House that Lord Poulett Thomson had been duly, officially, advised of the intention of Government to bring forward the timber duties; whilst we have it under the hand of the Cana dian Governor himself, in a letter of reply, given some days since in the Morning Herald, to certain. memorials of the merchants and inhabitants of Quebec and Montreal, requesting information 'and condemnatory of changes in those duties, that, to that date—April 18th, mark—he had had no " official " intimation of any such intention on the part of her Majesty's Govern ment. There is, therefore, a strange contradiction and misin telligence between the Colonial Secretary and his Canadian subordinate on the subject, but on which side the equiv-ocatiese to use only the mildest term, may rest, we shall not decide, but leave the Lone of contention fur amicable digestion betwixt those - noble persons themselves. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. CHRONICLE.—The funds have been fiat to-day, and bu siness limited. 'fhe chief cause of the drooping state of Spanish Stock is the fail in Paris and Hamburgh, and the wretchedly low po sition of the Spanish Exchequer. It is surprising that the lie. gent has net by this time evinced some proof of his usual judg ment, by adopting some practical curse of financial reform. The premium given to-day on the Britannia at Lloyd's was, we understand, seventeen guinea per cent. POST.—The tea market assumed to-day a more important and intelligible position than it had done at any time since the arrival of the last overland mail fr3m India and Canton. The trade have now had more time to digest and reflect on the news, and to see pretty clearly the dilemma in which the weak agent of a weak Administration has placed them. The advance of the British forces to Canton has proved, as we find from Sir G. Bremer's despatch, the signal for the removal of the tea and silk collected there; and, as it is quite evident that our troops will not venture into the interior of the empire, or the natives dare, to judge from their late conduct at Chusan, to violate the laws by bringing down supplies, an indefinite time must elapse before the first shipments can be calculated upon. The dealers who have kept oat of stock in the auticipatiun of an amicable arrangement are, accordingly, now running the gauntlet with the speculators who have been beforehand with them. They were to-day buyers of the common black leaf at 2s. Id. to 2s. 2d. per lb. The speculators have been active also, and a very extensive business was done at a general ad vance of Id. per lb. on Saturday's prices. CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN MR. HANDLEY AND LORD STANLEY. COPY.—NO. I. MR. HANDLEY TO LORD STANLEY. " 30, Pall-mall, June 6, 1841. " My Lord,—Your Lordship will recollect that, in the re marks you addressed to me in your speech on Friday night, you observed that when Sir Robert Peel came into office I consulted you as to my vote on the Speakership, and the course I ought to pursue, not liking to give an absolute refusal to support the Right Honourable Gentleman.' " I at the time contented my self with an expression of dis sent, thinking it of little moment to the House or to the ques tion what was my course on that occasion. Finding, how ever, that the circumstance has been commented on out of doors, I take the liberty of ade:ressing )our Lordship on the subject. " Your Lordship's charge against me, of having been uncompromising and devoted adherent of Lord Liverpool's Government,' will be contradicted on a reference to Hansard by those who may take the trouble to ascertain the votes which I recorded in opposition to that Government ; but the state ment, as to my having sought your Lordship's advice, having been made on your own authority, I mus t b eg t o recal to your Lordship's recollection the following facts. " I had no communication whatever with your Lordship previous to my vote for Mr. Manners Sutton ; but on the following morning I received a note from Lord George Bentinck, purporting to be written by your desire, and stating that, judging from my vote •on the Speakerahip, I was not prepared to go ail lengths with the Opposi tion, your Lordship had requested him, as a mutual friend, to invite me to meet a few members at your Lordship's house, to consult on the course to be adopted as to the Address. Itly reply was, that having made up my mind to vote for any amendment to the Address that implied a want of confidence in Sir Robert Feel, I could not, in fairness, join in the consul tation. A subsequent communication, however, was made by Lord George Bentinck, urging my attendance, which, he said, would be in no way binding upon me, with which I complied, and after remaining some ten minutes, during which you did not address a syllable to me individually, I found that , your Lordship's views and mine were totally different, and I at once quitted the only conference, if such it can be called, ever held between us, and which your Lordship will now perceive was not of my seeking, but your's. " I leave it to your Lordship's sense of justice to give such explanation as you may think fit, either in the House or by letter, reserving to myself the right of giving publicity to this correspondence.—l have the honour to be, " Your Lordship's obedient humble servant, (Signed) " HENRY HANDLEY. " The Lord Stanley," &c. COPY.—NO. 11. LORD STANLEY TO MR. HANDLEY. " St. James's-square, June 7, 1841. " my return to town this morning, I have had the honour of receiving your letter of yesterday. It would be a matter of sincere regret to me to find that in the observations which I made in the House of Commons on Friday night, 1 had misrepresented any part of your political con duct. My own strong impression was, that I had seen you at my house in 1635, together with other gentlemen who were not prepared to place implicit confidence in Sir Robert Peers Government, but who, at the same time, declined to ' commit themselves to active opposition against him. My impression was confirmed by the recollection of others ; and it appears from your letter that on one occasion you were so present. Your memory is much more likely to be accurate than mine, as to whether that occasion was pre vious, or subsequent to, the vote which you gave in favour of Mr. Manners Sutton against Mr. Abercromby ; and if I mistake not, I distinctly admitted on Friday, that your attendance at my house was not long continued. The po sition which I occupied at that time was not one of my own seeking, but was pressed upon me by several gentlemen, some of whom, I believe, previously attemied a meeting in Palace yard, of which number I understood that you were one : and I am not aware of having invited the attendance of any one at my house. I can, of course, have no objection to your making use of this correspondence in any way you may think proper. " I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, (Signed) " STANLEY. " To H. Handley, Esq." No. 111. "30, Pall-mall, Monday evening, June 7, 1841. "My Lord,—l beg to acknowledge the receipt of your Lordship's note, and shall avail myself of your permission to snake it public. " I will only add, that I was not at the meeting in Palace yard, and most certainly should nut have intruded myself at your Lordship's house, but for the communication to which I have already alluded. " I have the honour to be, your Lordship's obedient, humble servant, " HENRY HANDLEY. " Right Hon. Lord Stanley."

Farneomhe, as Alderman of the Ward of Bas=i sh,w, in the room of Mr. White. who resigned. Mr. WARD, the surron, of Basinghaa-street, whose father, 33 years ago, intr , duced Claud:us Stephen Hunter, thy' present father of the Court, to the Court of Aldermen, pre sented Alderman Farncombe on the present occasion. The Alderman was accompanied by a number of the most respect anle and influential men in the Ward. Mr. Wano said that he felt high gratification in presenting to the Court a gentleman of high character and attainments, and of considerable property, :is the representative of the Ward of Bassishaw. In proceeding to elect, according to the terms of the precept, a fit and proper person to the station of Alderman, the constituency had selected the most fit and proper person they could find, and although other very respectable men were named as candidates the esti mate formed by the great majority of the Ward of the merits of Mr. Farncombe was such that all niea of competi tion was speedily dropped, and the result was the unanimous choice of that excellent individual—( Hear, hear.) It was most creditable to Mr. Farncombe that he voluntarily pledged himself, upon being elected, to bestow his patronage upon the Ward ; anal the constituency felt convinced, that if any cir cumstances arose which would be likely to call for great exer tions on the part of the Magistracy, as was the case in former times, when Alderman Cornbe and Sir James Shaw acted with such energy and resolution, the new Alderman of Bassishaw would not be backward in distinguishing himself.—( Hear.) Alderman Farncombe then took the oaths and his seat. The Court, after some preliminary business, proceeded to the consideration of an application relative to the alienation of the office of one of the attorneys of the Mayor's Court. No business of public importance was transacted. POLICE INTELLIGI.:NCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A cabman named John Lambert was brought up for final examination on the charge of having stolen the sum of 38/. 145., the property of Mrs. Yates, which was left in his cab by that lady. Mrs. Yates, the wife of the owner of the Crown and Cushion public-house in Page's-walk, Bermondsey, stated that on Saturday the 22. d of May she went to the flank of England, and received there three 10/. notes, eight sovereigns and a half in gold, and four shillings; that she planed the money with several private papers, two silk handkerchiefs, and a pair of gloves, in her reticule ; called a cab, of which the prisoner was driver, at the City side of London-bridge, and directed him to drive her to Bermondsey Old Church-gate ; that he drove her accordingly, and that very soon after she departed she missed her reticule; that she returned, accompanied by a friend, to the cab stand, where she was informed the prisoner, was not come back, but that after a long search she found him at half-past three in the afternoon of the same day, when he declared that he knew nothing of the property, but that he had taken up a gentleman immediately after he set her down. 'the witness also stated that she gave the prisoner into the custody of a policeman, and ascertained the numbers of the bank notes from her stockbroker, and put a stop on them at the Bank. Henry Jackson (City policeman No. 615) stated that the prisoner u, on being taken into custody gave as his address a place which he had left two months. Subsequently the pri soner said that he would show witness where the pi oserty but soon after declared that he knew nothing at all about it, and that they could but transport him for it. Jane Mary Pilgrim, who was taken into custody by George Dewar, a Metropolitan policeman, said that she had been for the last four months living with the prisoner as his wife, at No. 21, Three Ton -court, Iledeross-street. About one o'clock in the afternoon of the 22t1 of May she met the prisoner in Alliersgate-street. in his cab, in company with another mar., and was told by him that he had got some money, and that she must return home. She did so, and he gave her a 101. note, and fold her to go and change it. She went soon afterwards to a straw bonnet-shop in Aldersgate-street, where she bought two straw bonnets at 25s each, for which she offered the 101. note in payment, and received the difference. When she returned h - was out, anti she did not see him again until he was in cus tody. She then w,ilked with him to the Compter, and was tt , ld by him that they were on the mantel-piece behind a shell, where she found the other notes and the gold. She changed one of the notes at a public-house, and threw the other over iars-bridge by the persuasion of some persons, and she expended and lost the remainder. The prisoner, when be first returned home on the Saturday, burned a black reticule and some papers which were in it, and, after he was in custody, witness wrapped up two silk and one lawn handkerchiefs in paper, and threw them into the street. The LORD Ma volt asked her whether the people who changed the notes for her put any questions to her as to where she got the notes? . . . _ The %% itness replied that nobody asked her one word about the matter. Mr. nobler, said several tradespeople made it a rule never to ask any question, All they were desirous of knowing was whether the bank-notes presented to them were genuine, and they wished to be known as tradespeople who gave change to customers without exercising any curiosity. 'I here were, it was to be regretted, tradesmen of high character who acted in the manner described. The LORD MAYOR said that the practice was most disgrace ful, and he hoied it would fall under the condemnation of the Judge. Mr. John Bullock, stockbroker, of No. 39, Lothbury, stated that on the 22d May he paid Mrs. Yates three 101. Bank of England notes, eight sovereigns and a half, and four shillings, and that the 101. note produced was one of them. 'The prisoner wap then committed for trial.
