Tim SLIDING SCALE.—Now no scheme of a sliding scale can by any possibility be dev i s ed which will ob. viate the difficulty of expo,ing merchants to an increased loss by the ri se i n t h e rate o f d u ty in proportion to the fall in the market price of corn. Sir Robert Peel has pledged to the principle of the infernal machine; he has thus hi a m ll s,e e l d f himself to the gamblers, and declared himself opposed to ho nest.traders. He may try to moi r "ty the scale so as to reduce She fluctuations in the duty ; but long as it remains a matter of uncertainty what amount of duty a merchant may have to Pay when his foreign corn arrives at home, no prudent mer chant will engage in so hazardous a trade—no steady, re gular trade, like that in cotton, sugar, wool, or any other article, will be carried on in corn ; the trade in corn will ba confined, as it is at present, to seasons of scarcity, and will he mononnized by reckless gamblers. We have merchants in Manchester sending goods to every. part of the globe, and re ceiving in exchange tea, coffee, tobacco, ivory, and every other production of the world, except corn. We have made very extensive inquiry, and it is a rema:kable fact that we have never heard of a single merchant bringing home foreign corn. They say "there ate a hundred markets to which we send gtA where he could get corn in e xc h ange, w h en we can fre di ntly get nothing else; but the risk it so great, the rate of duty so fluctuating, and the sale so uncertain, that we dare not snedd e with it; we prefer making a sacrifice to get home our funds in some other way." Yet this is the infernal machine which Sir Robert Peel pr.-pates to perpetuate ! Anti- Bread tax Circular.

I hasten, ;n compliance with the flattering Requisition that has been presented to me, to so licit the honour of your suffrages. The political sentiments th I have ever maintained are those of loyalty to the Crown, and a fixed determination to uphold the integrity of the Constitution as by law established, in Church and State. lam an advocate for a revision of the existing Poor-laws, and for an efficient amelioration of those oppressive clauses that are variance with the best feelings of our nature ; and I am opposed to the measures of the present Government, cdnscientiously believing them to be injurious to the interests of the country, as well as to those Conservative principles which it has always been my desire to uphold. Gentlemen,—Should you do me the honour to place me in the proud position to which I aspire, I can a-sure you that my best energies and exertions shall be devoted to the maintenance of your Local Interests, with which a Residence in this Bo rough of nearly Thirty Years has identified me; and it will be the unceasing study of my life to promote by every means in my power the general welfare of our common country. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your much obli g ed and faithful servant, JAMES JOHN HAMILTON. Conservative Election Committee-Room, 53, Wigmore-street, SL blarylebode, June 9, 1841. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF MARYLEBONE. GENTLEMEN, HAVING in the early part of last year been invited by a numerous and influential body of Electors of 31arylebone to become a CANDIDATE for the representa tion of'your Borough in Parliament, awl a dissolution having bee, determined upon, I beg leave to solicit the honor of your suffrages. My principles are known to you—Loyalty to the Throne— Devotion to the Church—Zeal for the Interests of the Poor — these principles I shall ever maintain. I am warmly and sincerely attached to our excellent Con stitution in Church and State, as by law established. I shall, therefore, be at all timea anxious to make the most searching inquiries into alleged abuses of every description, and, when ever proved to exi3t, to apply sound and constitutional rem, dies, with a view to maintain, unimpaired, that balance of political power, which I am convinced is essential to the stability of the Throne, and the welfare of the people. I shall advocate a revision of the Poor-law Act, especially the clauses which operate so painfully and oppressively upon those who are necessitated to avail themselves of its provisions ; and I shall ever be a firm and constant friend to every n easure contributing to the comfort and promoting the happiness of the poor. In the event of my being returned one of your Representa tives in Parliament, let me assure you, I shall take a pain and straightforward course in promoting all measures for the main tenance of religion—the security of civil and religious liberty— and the advancement of the wealth and prosperity of the coun try ; and it will certainly not be one of the least of soy gratifi cations to be enabled to attend to the local interests of a con stituency amongst whom I was born, and of a district in which I have passed the greater part of my life. 1 have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your most obliged and faithful servant, BENJAMIN BOND CABIIELL.

HUSH WATER Al LONDON 1.111ID1;E IO.IIIORIiO W tnliuteg after 6. 1 Evening ......1i minutes after the Publication of the Evening Edition of THE SUN com• lanced at 10 minutes atter Three. a. In the House of Lords last night the Earl of DEvoi• and the Earl of AlouNTcasnEL both said a few words presenting a petition in favour of promoting railways ii Ireland. Viscount STRANGFORD inquired if any vessel had been despatched by the Admiralty to look after the President The Earl of Myna said he had taken great interest in the matter, and had consulted those best acquainted with it, and had not been able to ascertain that any measure which could be adopted would be of the least service The Noble Earl said of the report that was yesterday in circulation that he believed it had no good foundation., No exertion of the Admiralty Which could be of service should be spared. Lord BROUGUAM expressed - his regret at the loss of the Administration of Justice Bill. On some petitions being presented from, we presume, the owners of rotten ships at Liverpool and South Shields, against any alteration in the timber duties, it was distinctly stated that ships were employed in that trade which could be employed in no other. The evi dence taken before a Committee of the House of Com mons has informed the public how many of these ships are annually lost, and how many lives are sacrificed to keep these unseaworthy ships longer afloat than they ought to be. Their Lordships nad another conversation about their own consisteridy, in which korcl AsHat:T.7'3N by no means appeared to tho same advantage as Lord BB•YUGHAM, for the latter reble Lord gave a good ex.. 04 4, 4 • .• t q AUIL LONDON : FRIDAY, JUNE n, 1841. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, JUNE 11, 1841. planation of his change of opinion—about Corn-laws and Poor-laws, subjects which nightly discompose their Lordships, and disturb their digestion. Nothing further came of the conversation, and their Lordships adjourned. In the Commons, Sir R. INGLIS announced that he had given up his Church Extension motion for this ses sion, but he hoped to bring it forward next session under happier auspices. We trust the Hon. Baronet will not forget it when his friends are in power, should that dis tant event ever come to pass. _ _ An immense number of petitions for the repeal and against the repeal of the Corn-laws were presented. Mr. LANv HODGES complained that his name had been erroneously inserted in the division list as having voted for Mr. T. DUNCOMBE'S motion relative to the Chartists. He was not in the House on that evening, and if he had been, he should have voted with the noes, and . prevented the SPEAKER from being under the necessity of giving his casting vote against the motion. A copy of the Hertford Register of Elections, pursuant to order, was presented by the Clerk of the Peace, and laid on the table. A motion to print it at the public ex pense was negatived. The New South 'Wales Bill, the Western Australia Bill, the Houses of Industry (Ireland) Bill, and the In solvent Debtors (Ireland) Bill, were read a third time. On the Order of the Day for bringing up the Report of the resolution on the Danish Claims, the CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER opposed the motion; Mr. HUME, Mr. CRESSWELL, and Mr. WARBURTON, ably supported it. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL again opposed it. Mr. AARON CHAPMAN supported it ; and on a division the CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was again defeated by 75 to 64, and the Report was brought up. The Bribery at Elections Bill was committed, and some of the clauses agreed to ; but from a conversation which took place in the early part of the evening, both parties * seem inclined to give up the Bill. The House sat till Eleven o'Clock. r have given a handle to their opponents to say that they cared as little for the be nefit of the suitors, and for the administration of justice, as the Tories, and promoted the lost Bill only for the sake of the patronage it conferred. That was not their object, though the mode in which they gave up the Bill—as it were, in a pet—lent that colour to their conduct. The Tories, however, had no other object in stopping the Bill than to grasp the patronage. They avowed that. Their conduct was most un seemly and insulting. Not one of them dared to whisper a word against Lord COTTENHAM, and yet they put on him a great practical insult. It is customary that men in his situation should have the power of making such appointments. Lord COTTENHAM has exercised his power most carefully, and there was no reason whatever to insult him. Probably, since the time of Lord Chancellor SHAFTESBURY there is no other instance of a House of Commons having so be haved to the first Judge of the land. And such a Judge ? The whole legal profes sion affirm that a better or more upright Judge never adorned the Bench. It must add to the shame of the House of Com mons, if that body he sensible of such a human feeling, to reflect that it perpetrated this insult at the suggestion of an envious rival, who " hates that excellence he cannot reach." That Sir E. SUGDEN is totally destitute of all moral and physical dignity, and therefore hates them both when united in another, is not a good reason why the House of Commons should wantonly outrage the first Judge of the land. The public, however, will appreciate this arro gant, insolent conduct of the Tories, and take good care that they shall never have the power to exhibit their hateful characteristics as Minis ters of the Crown. As the repeal of the Corn-laws come on for discussion this evening, it may be proper to make a few remarks on the duty proposed by Lord JOHN RUSSELL. According to our view a protecting duty on the production of corn is wholly unwarranted; according to Mr. M'CuLLocH's view an Bs. duty is three-eighths too much, and is only considered to be expedient, because it defers to the mis takes of those who imagine corn to be very low priced abroad. The Bs. duty, therefore, does not meet the justice of the case, either according to those who declare against all protective duties, or those who, having examined the subject, con clude that agriculture should be protected to the extent of ss. per quarter. Now, as Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S proposition meets the views neither of the landlords nor the manufacturers, neither of the absolute free traders nor of compromising expedient free traders, let us seriously ask, why is it proposed? The just and proper answer to this question is, because the Ministers suppose the Bs. duty is likely to receive the support of Parliament and of the constituent body. On the one hand it is re presented that it is impossible for the country to stagger along under the present Corn-laws, some thing therefore must be done; on the other, it is sup posed that the landlords wit never consent to the total aboiition, and Bs. is selected, therefore, as the sum to which they may possibly consent, under the terror of otherwise seeing the law totally abolished. The Bs. duty is proposed, therefore, simply and purely because it is sup posed that it may receive the support of Parlia ment. If this be correct, it follows that Mini sters would as readily propose the total and im mediate abolition of all the Corn and Provision laws, as P. new scale of duties, provided they were likely to receive the support of Parliament. It follows, also, that the electors may command the total abolition, and that it will be their fault if they do not now fur ever extinguish the Corn laws. Let them only elect a majority of the House of Commons pledged to a total repeal, and resolved to take nothing less than a total re peal, and they will be as sure to obtain that as the Bs. duty. Hurrah, then, for total repeal! and if we cannot now command' that, we may always fall back on the Bs. duty, looking forward to a time when total repeal will be con ceded. There is a remarkable passage, we think, in the preface to Mr. M'CuLLocies pamphlet, to which we have before adverted, that should inspire the total repealers with fresh zeal:— " Those who are anxious," says that gentleman, " that this great question should be settled on fair and equitable principles, would do well not to neglect the present opportunity. One so favourable may not speedily occur. It is only when prices are moderate, and there is every prospect of a good crop, that this question can be properly treated. It is at once unsafe and unwise to trust too much to the public forbearance and judgment. The longer a reform of any abuse or grievance is delayed, the more sweeping it becomes in the end. Few persons, we believe, suppose, after what has recently occurred, that the Corn-laws can continue for any very considerable length of time on their present footing ; and the fair presumption is, that if they be not properly reformed and amended, they will be abolished altogether." The Corn-laws then, are an abuse and a griev ance, and the fair presumption is, that if they be not properly reformed or amended, they will be abolished altogether. And why, if they be an abuse and a grievance, should they not be abo lished? Why should we cherish abuses? Why content ourselves with half a felony? Why does Mr. M'Cum.ocx anticipate the possi bility of these laws being abolished? He does not expect or fear that the law for punishing theft will be abolished, or that the law, under which the representatives of the people are elec ted—though it may be enlarged—will be hastily swept away. Mr. M'CuLLoex's anticipation that this grievance will be abolished altogether, if not reformed, is a striking, though, as it were, an ex torted evidence of the magnitude of the abuse, and that nothing can save it but that amend ment and reform of which he is the advocate. A change, which will fix this grievance on the country for some years longer, is, on this show ing, much to be deprecated; and the assurance given us by Mr. M'CuLLocx that if the law be not reformed it will be swept away, ought to make all the constituencies of the empire at least careless about its being reformed, and re solved at once totally to get rid of it. Let them have no fear that such a resolution will injure the Ministers. We will take it on ourselves to assert that they, as well as the cause of truth and justice, will he more effectually served by the people demanding the total extinction of the abuse and the grievance than by requiring that some of its enormities should be pared down, so that it may appear a little less unsightly, and, by exciting less horror, be preserved some time longer. The case of Captain TUCKETT and Mr. WORSLEY at the Mansion-Housev which want of space has prevented us from noticing sooner, suggests the necessity of some new regulations to meet the peculiarities of railways. The English law is very strict in enforcing correct descriptions of all offences, and if an indictment 'charged a man with having corns mitted an offence in Middlesex which wa. , corn mitted in Kent, lie would escape, or at least be transferred to the county where the offence was committed, and where .alone exists a tribunal having the power to try him. Such accuracy is a great saf eguar d ag ainst false accusation, and it ought not t o b e lightly dispensed,with. Ma gistrates, on the same principle, ought not to act where they have no jurisdiction, and as Mr. Alderman PIRIE has no jurisdiction at Green wich, which is in Kent, be is rather to be praised than censured for refusing to entertain the corn plaint. But other off enc es much more serious than common assaults, may be committed in ra i lway carriages; prop er ty arrival of th e not be discovered till may .be stolen, life may be taken, and th e cr i me may , During . the transit the i notionlisso.rapid, and:the train at the end of the journey. Maeliinealtogether huge,:.that it earinOf be 0 .- te'd by a.eonstablei if One could. bt gotat, complain' of an offence on. tAispot:s9leT4-Iv* committed. jt must De very often lunpVAVlt' for persons to appeal to the Magistrates in whose jurisdiction an offence may be committed, even if it were possible to ascertain it when inclosed in a railway carriage. Such circumstances sug gest an alteration ; and Magistrates who have jurisdiction at either end of a line, or at any of the intermediate stations, should probably be authorised to take cognizance of all the offences committed in the carriages at any part of the line. The persons who travel by railways must have, as well as other persons, the common and general security given by law. With respect to the particular case, about which communications have been sent to us, we beg to decline offering any opinion. Mr. Alder man PIRIE evidently supposed that Captain TUCKETT would net make a wanton assault, and probably he placed more confidence in the asser tions of Captain TUCKETT and his friends than in those of Mr. WORSLEY and his witness. The charge of a wanton assault committed from that insulting, overbearing spirit which is sometimes fnind in young military men, requires to be fully inquired into ; and we should hope that Mr. %VORSLEY will be encouraged by the support of his friends to institute an investigation. Such rudeness as he describes ought not to pass un punished. But giving no opinion on the parti cular case, we refer to it in order to draw atten tion to the peculiarities of railroads, in respect to the jurisdiction of Magistrates, as it must, in many cases, be impossible to fix the commis sion of an offence, during transition, in any one C 01111137. We anticipated in our afternoon impression of yester day most of the news contained in the Paris journals of Wednesday. In the Chamber of Peers on that day the Keeper of the Seals read a Royal Ordinance for the withdrawal of the Recruitment Bill,rwhich is thus aban doned fur another year. The Constitutionnel contradicts the absurd statement of the Gazette de France about the existence of a partition treaty, but adds with more gra vity than common sense What may be readily believed is that a secret understanding exists between England and Russia to allow the Eastern ques tion to remain unsettled, and to retard indefinitely the signa ture of the final protocol. We believe that these Powers un derstand each other marvelously well as to the profitable use of the time Mhich they thus gain ; England, in exciting Mehemet Ali to fresh acts of resistance, and Russia in raising against the Turkish Government all the Christian population of Asia Minor and European Turkey. There certainly is an Anglo- Russian provocation in all these insurrections. It is probable that England and Russia are occupied in entangling the ques tion more and more. But the time is not yet come for. draw ing the sword to cut the gordian knot." The nonsense of this view of the cause of the troubles in European Turkey is so ably exposed by the Ministe rial journal La Prcsse, that we have pleasure in making the following extract from its columns : " It is perfectly true that Lord Palmerston did not attach his signature at the last meeting of the conference, but to this fact, well founded in itself, have been attached fantas tical explanations which have completely changed its bear ing. It is, therefore, wrong to attribute to the English Cabi net the intention of prolonging for its own pleasure the diffi culties of the Eastern question. It has nothing to gain and much to lose by such a course. In the critical position in which the English Cabinet now stands before Parliament, and will soon stand before the electors, it must really be anxious to make a merit of bringing to a complete, serious, and official solution, an affair which has much disquieted the public mind in England, which has been attended with much expense, and which has caused the loss of the French alliance, the most useful and most profitable which Great Britain has ever en joyed. Lord Palmerston has been especially the object of at tacks, on account of his connivance with Russia. He would, however, wish for nothing better than to be able to prove to his adversaries that the line of policy ke• has pursued has been really efficacious towards the settlement of the Eastern question, and to confound their accusa tions by showing ihem a definitive tr ea ty. H e wou ld rea dily have signed the final act which has been spoken of. But in the position in which the negotiations stood, this signature could not have been given. Frat ce, in tact, while manifes.iog a legitimate and reasonable desire to see the causes removed which placed her out of the European compact, declared from the commencement that she would not rejoin it until the Treaty of July 15 had disappeared, and the Powers who had signed that Treaty had themselves notified the dissolution of their temporary coalition. It will be readily understood that this dissolution cannot take place until the Pacha has signified his adhesion to the new conditions offered him by the Porte, and which he may accept without compromising his honour." 111L.ELA RADotkowinn, Member of the Bulga rian Senate, has forwarded to the Porte a report of the origin and progress of the insurrection in that quarter. From this document we learn that the Turks were guilty of the most feightful atrocities. Men, women, and children were indiscriminately massacred ; and poor wretches flying from their burning houses were seized by the ruthless soldiery, and cast alive into the flames. They burned 225 Christian villages, pillaged and de stroyed 16 churches and monasteries, and impaled 31 Christians at one time on the bridge of Nissa The Toulon journals received to-day contain no details of the op,ra.ioto of our army in the province of Oran.. We only find the flowing particulars in the Sektinelle of the sth inst. "A Metropodtan brig which left Mostaganem on the 24th of May, and arrived in our port yesterday, gives us some news from that place. A letter which we have received by this channel informs us that the expedition was to set out on the 17th of Mav from different points, and to effect its junction on the 20th. On the lust day a brisk cannonade in the distance was heard at Mostaganem. Before and after the departure of our troops the Arabs did not cease to supply the market of Mostaganem. Not a day passes in which they .do not bring 200 or 300 head of cattle. They appear to be very tired of the general state of things, and the system of permanent war which Gene ral Bugeaud has conceived, and which he has all the means of carrying into effect, has greatly discouraged them. Several tribes of ae interior have manifested their repugnance to fah low the standard of Abd-el-Kader. This chief is fully aware of the sentiments of his countrymen, and in order to have their assistance, he has promised them, that after thecampaign, it he .shauld not succeed in beating the French, he will retire into the desert, to live in peace, and leave the Arabs at liberty to act as they please with respect to the French.

It app.2a,s from certain circumstances that her disorder has not abated ; since yesterday evening the access to Leinstrasse (the street which passes by the Royal Palace) is stopped, so that only pedestrians can go through it ; and the evening patrol of tbe military band is suspended, in order not to disturb her Majesty. However, though her Majesty, as we hear, has had a restless night, the physicians have expressed some hopes to-day. It is generally reported that Professor Schin leln, at Berlin, has been requested to come here and give his advice. May all turn out wed. The celebration of his Majesty's .birth-day • was very re. shicted, on account of the melancholy situation of the Queen. The King appeared on the Parade, where he made a sFeeoh to the officers from the provinces who are now here, and was re ceived with acclamation by the troops. It is expected that orders will be conferred on a great number of persons, and that there will be a considerable promotion in the army. HANOVER, JUNE s.—His Majesty has been pleased to re solve that there shall be henceforth five classes in the Royal Guelphic Order, viz.:-1. Gland Cross; 2. Commanders of the Ist. Class; 3. Commanders of the 2d Cla=s ; 4. Knights; and 5. l'ossesors of the Silver Cross. STOCKHOLM, JUNE I.—The Archbishop has announced in the Chamber of the Clergy, that his Majesty intends to close the Diet on the lOth of this month. It this is dune a great number of important matters cannot be completed, fur it is thought that they would take sixteen or eighteen days. The res , lutions relative to changes in the civic and criminal law still watt for the Royal sanction ; and it is expected that a de lay of seven or eight days will not be regarded, in order pro petly to close a act which has been sitting above sixteen months.—Haniburgh Papers, June 8. IiitUSSELS, JUNE 9.—Their Majesties will return to Laecken from their seat at Ardenne on Friday neat. Count llippolyte Vilain KUL6;i; d'Affaires of Bel gium at the Court of Sardinia, has met with the most toter no. reception, as well from the King as from the Diplomatic Body and the persons of diAtinction in that capital. TURKISH FRONTIERS, MAY. 27.—The last mail from Con stantinople, of the 19th, brings no particular news. Notice had been received from Candia, that the Provincial Govern ment set up by the insurgents had applied to the King of Greece, requesting him to intercede with the Powers. which had so much influence on the emancipation of Greece, pray ;rig them to intervene in their favour that Candia may be re lieved from Turkish despotism. To this petition was addedu detailed statement of the grievances which the Candiots -suffn from the oppressive rule of the Turks. It is not knmin haw King Otho has received this petition, but he will doubtless communicate it to the Allied Powers. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, accompanied by the Pr:ncess Royal, are expected to leave Windsor Castle for ButAingi.am Palace this afternoon. --- - NEW SOUTH WALES.—The followma extracts from a Sydney journal show the increasing prosperity of the co lony. During the year 1840, 21,863 bales of wool were shipped from Sydney for London, 5,410 for Liverpool, 70 for Bristol, and 344 for Boston, United States. The number of ves*els which arrived at, Port Jackson was 331 ships, 123 brigs, and 72 , chrioneri, exclusive of those from the different ports in Aus tralia.

It is stated that his Excellency the Governor• General was sufficiently well yesterday to transact. business. His Excel.. lency and all the public officers are expected to have Montreal for Kingston in the course of the ensuing week. Port of Quebec —At noon yesterday we counted about a hundred ships under sail, coining into the harbour, besides a great number at anchor in the stream or alongside of the wharfs, giving a sure indication of the encouragement of every sort of industry, after the long interruption of six months winter. We have received Newfoundland papers to the 38th ult. On the preceding day his Excellency the Governor prorogued the Legislature with the following Fp ee eir " Mr. President and Honourable Gentlemen of the Council, " Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the House of Assembly, "As a Committee of the House of Commons has been ap pointed to inquire into the state of Newfoundland, before which Committee I shall have to appear, I will, on the present occasion, give expression to my regret that such a proceeding should have become indispensably necessary to the tranquillity and welfare of the colony." CANADA COMPANY.—The statement of the amount for the year 1840 shows an increased sale of 8,418 acres over the year 1839 • and an increase in the amount for which land has been sold of 5,425/. currency; at the some time the money col lected for instalments due on former sales has considerably de creased, amounting in 1840 to 21,7001., and in 1839 to 27,450/. currency,. . _ _ _ " The Directors have to inform the Proprietors that, with a view to provide for the payment to Government, for the year 1841, and to meet the other immediate engagements of the Company, a further sum of 30,0001. has been raised upon de bentures at 5 per cent. interest, whereby the necessity of making a call for capital, referred to at the last meeting, has been avoided. We have received the Journal of Antwerp of yesterday's date. BOURSE OF ADISTERDA M, JUNE B.—The vote of the House of Commons having produced but little sensation on the Bourse of London on Saturday, our National Funds have re covered from the weakness of yesterday, and were in general more sought after, but without any active business. The dividend of the Society of Commerce was done at 7i. In the Foreign Funds there was nothing doing. Up to the present time of writing we have no further ac counts of the report which prevailed yesterday, received from Bristol, of the large steamer being seen in distress off the Soulties. THE DANISH CLAIMS. Well! the cause of justice has at length pre vailed. And where are now Mr. BARING'S ob jections—his senseless obstinacy, merely be cause he was wrong—in opposition to claiths, the justice of which was acknowledged but a few years after he was born ? The public will naturally wonder at such in ordinate folly, and ask, in their simplicity, how it is that men who have come into public consideration and confidence should so far forget themselves as to oppose a claim sanctioned by repeated votes of the House of Commons. The answer is this—a mock Liberal, Mr. SPRING RICE, of notorious memory—a Shannon jobber, who contrived to worm himself into place, and eventually to saddle the country with 10001. a year or more, contrived to bamboozle Mr. BARING to follow in his steps, which were the steps of political shuffling. And, acting on these slippery counsels, Mr. BARING opposed the Danish Claims, which Mr. SPRING RICE would not have done if they belonged to the Shannon River instead of the Copenhagen Seas. We acquit Mr. BARING of any animus in his opposition but that which he derived from the whisperings of Mr. SPRING RICE—a gentleman whose especial merit it was that his best friends were at a loss where to find his counterpart, so slippery and statesmanlike were all his evolu tions. Mr. SHANNON RICE was the rock on which the present CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER split, and in working out his pilotage he brought the Cabinet vessel into shoals and shallows. It were well if she rested there, but she has floundered and backed astern so much that they are in danger of backing out altogether! Well, wilful pilots must take the consequence of their own improvidence; but why should the passengers suffer? Simply because they row in the same boat with the pilot who misguides them. This is a safe text for honest electors, to look out for good Liberals—men who will do their duty to their country, their conscience, and their GOD. It is not our purpose to damage Ministers be cause they have done many things wrong—our object is to convert them! But we shall not en large on these matters now; we promise them a safe deliverance—lF they deserve it. The country gentlemen seem resolved to profit by the confusion of " breaking up," to slip un perceived and unopposed some of their favourite measures through Parliament. Yesterday morn ing, as soon as the day began, or rather, before the Parliamentary night had expired, they laid on the table two Bills, one to provide for repair ing, improving, and rebuilding county bridges, for which Lord ELIOT and Sir E. KNATCHBULL stand sponsors, and the other, " to authorise, for a limited time, the application of a portion of the highway rates to turnpike-roads," which owns the respectable paternity of Sir C. BURRELL and Mr. DARBY. Both Bills were read a first time on Thursday morning, and both were appointed to be read a second time on Thursday evening. Quick law-making that; and as it is not said that all the county bridges of Cornwall and Kent are tumbling down, or all the turnpike-roads of Sussex are under water, there must be some strong reason for, this urgent haste to introduce new measures, when scores of those which have been previously considered are cast out. The title of the first Bill, which is all that we know of it, does not imply anything objection able, but the title of the second carries with it a perversion of public funds. Turnpike-roads are, in the majority of cases, private specula tions; individuals advance money to make them, in the expectation of being well paid by the tolls which Parliament authorises them to levy; highway rates are public taxes, levied by the authority of parish vestries and Magistrates. To apply those funds to turnpike roads seems to us to be improving the property of private indi viduals by the public taxes. That such is the real object of the Bill, that there is any line of turnpike road bordering on the Rape of Bram ber, forming a convenient access to some ancient castles, owned by certain Sussex esquires, we do not know ; but if there be such a road, it may, we apprehend, be partly maintained at the public expense, under the provisions of such a Bill, and the pockets of the said squires be spared, by taking money out of the pockets of the rate payers. The • title of the Bill makes us regard it with the greatest suspicion ; and we trust that Mr. HUME, Of Mr. WARBURTON, or some other ,leterrnined foe ,to Parliamentary jobbing, will take care that a gross and flagitious job is not perpetrated under the guise ofpromoting commu nication. Our country readers, too, would do well to look sharp after the Bill, or they may find thernSelves compelled to pay out of the highway rates the interest of the money which certain gentlemen have advanced for making roads on speculation. As they tax the people to (nake good their rent on unproductive land, we can see no reason or principle why they Should not tax the people to make good the interest on their turnpike-road bonds. Both these Bills were read a • second time last night, and the County Bridges Bill was also passed through a Committee, and ordered to be reported to-day. The other Bill is to be committed to-day. Such haste is very suspicious, particularly as similar Sills have been rejected on former occasions fir some good and slflicient reasons. The manner in which the Tories have ;dread: begun to use thei.• rower ii the House of Cons ' nvius, is art indication of what they will do in Oice. We haseheard during the last six years a great deal about the tyrant majority, but 'the Whigs, L the utmost pleatitude of their power, never used it so wantonly as did the Tories on Wednesday evening their majority of ONE. On the faith of that single vote did Sir R. PEEL and my Lord STANLEY then taunt the Ministers with having lost the confidalce of Parliament. On the faith of that single vote did Sir EDWARD SUGDEN assume that the Whigs will be out of office in October,and, relying on that, he stopped the Bill for improving the administration of jus tice. If they behave so now, what will they do f S r h e o q u u l e d nt t l h y sacyeyls-,er be placed on the Treasury Benches ? " D epen d u p on i t, " as Si r R.

The. Captain reports the following news :—A united forc,t of Texans and Campeachians had taken the fort and bar of Tanwico. General Samara had advanced within forty miles of Vera Cruz, at the head of 1,500 men, from Toba..co and Yucatan. A severe gale of wind from the north had been experienced on the Mexican coast, and several vessels had suffered severely. A Texan ve.s,l of war was %% reeked thirty macs to the leeward of Velaseo, and all hands lost. It was likawise reported that the New York packet ship Uncas had been cast away near Vera Cruz. A conducts of 1,209,000 arrived at Vera Cruz, from the interior, on the 29th of April. • Money is plentiful, there being no demand at present in the House.

Gonzales, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, in reply to M. Sagasti's vehement speech on the invasion of the Spanish territory by the French inhabitants of the Aldudes, occasions a very painful impression in this city, and blood would doubt less have been shed had it not been fur the positive orders issued by the Spanish authorities to avoid all chance of collision. The feelings which animate the Navarrese may be seen by the following letters from Elisondo and Pampeluna : " ELISONDO, MAY 26.—Yesterday was a day of mortifica tion and humiliation for the inhabitants of the Bastan. At an early hour in the morning the heights of Azaldequi and of Veodin andthe•pass of Urquiaga were occupied by the Custom houce officers of Bigorre, Trulegui, and La Hance, amountingto 2,000, accompanied by three companies of troops, who mounted the heights amid the beating or drums and the flourish of trum pets. The troops remained till two o'clock, at which hour they withdrew. It is expected that they will repeat .this de monstration to-day ; and yet• we are obliged to rem: in quiet while thus insulted and braved, thanks to the orders of our mi litary and civil authorities. PAMPELIJNA, MAY 17.—Public tranquillity is greatly dis turbed in this province. lam afraid that the Navarrese and the French Will come 10 blows. Thu latter, 1,500 strong, sup . - ported by three companies of Stoop', and authorised by the sub p: efect of Maubion, have invaded our territory and insulted us. Our authorities have ordered us to be prudent, and tu avoid being the first aggressors. Despatches have i;een sent to Madrid, urging the Government to adopt energetic mea sures, to.the Captain-General, for him to send a cmsiderable force to keep' down the peasants, and to show that our army will come to the asistance of the people, and also to the Spanish C6nsuktat Bayonne, for him to make ener getic remonstrances to prevent aggression on the part of :he French. It would really Le a public and deplorable calamity if the Navarrese and French should come to blows . on a boundary question, for the common enemy would not fail to turn the conflict to account. Firmness and prudence must be employed to preserve peace in this interesting province:" This, however, was by no means considered as a Cabinet question. M. Arguelles is spoken of as being likely to be charged with the guardianship of her Majesty. The health of the Queen inspires serious uneasiness, and it is very probable . that her Majesty will be shortly removed to the I:scurial or the Prado, to follow up the treatment prescribed by her medical attendants. DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY IN A GAM iso-notiSE.—WINDOR, Tit ues naT.—Yesterday evening there was a lar2e party, consisting of the officers of the 60th Rifles, and !event' of the Ist Life Guards, at the mess at tie infantry barricks, in Sheet-street, in consequence of sever a 1 prombtions which have recently taken place in the Rifles, occas'oned by vacancies caused by the decease of the Honourable Colonel Molyneux. The festivities of the even ing were kept up till past 12 o'clock, when a large party sallied forth for " a spree." They first proceeded to the ex tensive canvass amphitheatre of Mr. Van Amburgh, in the 13acheior's• acre, but there they were fortunately kept at bay by several of Mr. Van Amburgh's men, before they had commit'ed any excesses. The knockers, bell-handles, and bras-plates from several doors in the neighbourhood were then wrenched off; the whole party then made for a well known gambling house (which has been tolerated in this town for upwards of twelve months) at 4, Augusta-place, where they were admitted Here - the noise, havoc, and confusion they created, caused terror and alarm around the entire neighbourhor , d, and on the police being sea for, and entry made into the house, th ey found scarce a piece of furn.ture whole. 1 /ones were brrken. lamps smashed, chairs and tab:es dislocated, and damage uni versal. With the exception of one of the gambles, who had secreted hirriself; every one had disappeared; and even the pro prietors of the eaming-house had gladly effected their escape, ;s.tra.,ge to say, no complaint was duriitg the day lodged against the : Tgressors . 1 ri TL I.
