CHRONICLE.—We do not think that any of the positions o ord John Russell were shaken by Lord Sander), Mr. IJorq, or Dr. Lushington the principel speakers of the even .ma the sde of monopoly. Dr. Lushington's speech was a reaunilar . aoo of all his iermee positions with respect to slave labour and free labour. What has become of the boasted ad van ages of free labour, if the negroes of our colonies are un able to compete with ti,e slat es or• Cuba and Br zil ? It was shown by Lord John Russell that ample protection was afforded xi our colonies, so they nay have the supply of our market if they choose e e lel e ut Dr. Lushington will not he sati-lied with the prosper7W the West Indians, he will not be satis fied with the Kapp iniss of the negro, who is in a far more en viable condition than the working man in England; he insists on piaci:se the werieng classes of Ent land enti,e y so the power .of the negrees. If they cheese to affor tus a sufficient supply of sugar, well ant: good; if, not, the unfortunate people of Lug-. 1 toll may starve. iNas, he even professed, tat the yart of Chat' pe, - Iflo, that they woild rather Le reduced to live on chopped gra-s iham consent to taste any of the sugar raised by staves. phis :ert of talk comes with admiratle go ace from a gentleman • in ► eceiet «f severA thousands a year of the public money, when api lied to poor creatures to whom sugar has become a necessary :if lift'. TIM ES'...--The critical centlict of par; ies upon the questions involved in the Ministerial BnOget commenced, but, as our readers will perceive, did t.ot terminate, yesterday evening. It :might have Leen supposed that, in case of this nature, where. as every body !wows, the point really at issue is a dif ft-rent thing froth the question under debate, the country rnght have been spared the infl.ction of a tedious succession of speed!: es. What is the use of talking about financal propositions riceori .ou-ly brought forward to serve a political and riot a financial pur iposs ? What rational object can be attained by prefacing with a see iesof disser:atione on the principles of free trade and politi cal economy a. division, which cannot ltunish any test of the degree in which those principles are accepted in Parliament? Oe the other hand, we see no great advantage in expatiating fur a week together upon the hoirors of slavery, in an assembly - which - lies ready metto put an end to a political crisis by avotc of confidence or no-eoniidestee in a poor-oepresAng eltnistry. We do not, of course, mean, either that Lord John Rus sel!, when he utters sententious meNiins about the impolicy of .t.eedle:s or excessive commercial restrictions, is playing the hypocrite, or that Lord Sandon is not per:ectly nut:ere when he deprecates the :Ministerial proposal, as to the sugar duties, on the score of its tendency to encourage negro !slavery. But we feel that these topics are merely collateral to flue 1 oint at issue, and that they are, en both sides, chiefly re • sorted to foe the rake of ivine to a party struggle the imposing app , aranee of a conflict of popular principles. 'Pllre arguments de rived from them weigh,no doubt,with both parties, but they are nut she reasons by which their line of comluct has been practically determined. Ft ce trade i 3 thrust forward by the Whigsto cover the retreat of the New Poor-law, and to break the onset of its vietre ions assailants. . Unc'er ti.e shadow of a banner dear to many of her opponents, and by the help of a popular watch word, despotism hopes to gain time to rally her broken forces and to daunt her adversaries with the fear that in striking her clown they may endsnger something else which they would Ida -preserve. DERALD.—Since the commencement of the present Session, the business of no single evening ha; present ed a much more varied picture of antagonist principhs, than that of last night. M . e desire to direct the careful at:ention of the publie to these early indications of inevitable results whi c h must flow from the 'tii.eptacing, unsteady, and capricious policy of our " adhesive," Government—a Government nee e , oily settled rule of action is to stick to office instead of principles. It might be supposed that after an eight years' possession of :office, without scarcely a break in the tenure, the Queen's Ministers would have ac quired a sufficient knowledge of the exigencies of the revenue, an I of the wishes of the.peeple, in regard to the remission of any particular duties 4 e gietoma or excise, to have long since made up their own ifl l l7lrTas to what should be the series cf measures to be adopted with the view of meetin' ' 1 )se exi tem gencies, and. responding to those wish es . n tead of tAi!, however, it. was only on the 30th ult. that, through the Chancellor of the Exchequer, they made those announcements of extreme and sweeping innovations on the scheme of existing duties on colonial produce and timber, and even on foreign corn, which have astounded not a few aveng even their own friends, and have awakened in .various Meet-lets of the country feelings of the utmost in-• e le va tion. It might be supposed, too, that their measures would big based, at least, upon principles of sach general ex reeieney, .. that in the Obstract, they should be incontro- Yer eible, or even acceptable to all the parties to whom they were to be propounded. Yet su far has this been from the actual and practical reeult of their budget ma nifesto, that individuals, and Corporations, and communities, whose interests—in the very nature of things—should seem to lie identical in such matters, have, we find, in both Houses resented pe titions against and for the proposed alterations in the restricted duties on foreign sugars. Not but that the ete'at preponderance iu number, importance, and authority, is on the side of the petitions against the alterations. Not but that a rieht and generous feeling is shown to have been awakened, of a'area and apprehension for the fate of the grand experiment *we .ds the alelition of slavery. POST.-ire debate upon Lord Sanden's resolution, the feorof which must, of necessity, decide that of the Adminietra tiou. commenced esterday. 1‘;co division took place; the pub lit, impatie nce for the result will , theref ore, nut be gratified until Monday night.. 'the proceedings of last night leave no doubt, however, as to the nature of that result. Ministers will be beaten_not probable so much as they deserve—but thoroughly beaten nevertheless. Two gerelernen, who have bitecrto coesta t tl y supplied the Ad ministration, de clared in th e most vie;oriitts and manly terms that they eau support it no longer.

All our direct measures hitherto have in no degree checked the extent of the slave trade—because its ex pansion proceeds • from causes which no such measures can prevent from operating. What we have succeeded in doing is not in checking the transportation of negroes—not in preventing the large increase of the numbers transported—but in very greatly adding to the horrors and mortality of the passage. That result is clearly traceable to our African Quixotism. Let us not be mistaken. We do not say that we have not been right in washing our hands of the traffic. We do not say that we have not been right in completing " Abolition" by " Emancipation." We think, in both cases, the coun try has done itself honour though, in the latter case, the measure is chargeable with all that pre cipitate absence of arrangement and caution, cha racteristic of measures enforced by popular zeal on unwilling parties. The nation was resolved on the grand experiment :it is well it has turned out no worse. How much better it might have turned out, if it had been directed even by such a wise Dictator of the negro race as Toussaint L'Ouverturc—who did not permit the freedom of his countrymen to mean freedom from work —how much better the thing might have been done, it is now of no use inquiring. The people of England insisted on unconditional freedom, and they have got it. They have also paid for it, and had therefore a right to what they deemed value for their money. The ques tion now is, how much more than twenty millions they mean to pay—not for abolishing slavery, for that they have done, as far as depended on them—but for the satisfaction of saying that they will consume no produce of slave labour. Even confining the qucs. tion to West Jndia produce, they must pay the price of serious privation to the great bulk of our fellow-subjects, and of certain p:ejudice to the habits of temperance, which can only be confirmed permanently by the cheapness of agreeable substitutes for spirituous liquors. They must pay the price of compulsory abstinence from cheap food as well as cheap drink, and the waste of fruit for want of means of preserving or sweetening. These are things which may b 2 thenght lightly of, but can only be so .by the unreflecting; and certainly not by Chancellors of t e Exchequer, whether they be Whig or Tory. STANDARD.—We little care what may be the effect of Lord Sandon's resolution, fixed for thin night, upon the fate of the Ministry. Our readers will do us the justice to remember that we have never been impatient for the dis missal of the Melbourne Cabinet ; and we can declare with perfect sincerity our conviction, that none, except their im mediate dependertts, more anxiously desire than we do that their political existence have a little further respite. They have alreidy eff-cted healculable good in de veloping the , chtiracter of Liberal politicians and the ten dencies of Liberalism ; and they may in the same way ef fect still more. No doubt their continuance iu office will disturb to acme extent the elements of society ' - but as it has been said, 4• liquors that do not thoroughly ferment ate never clear: " and we expect from the present disturbance such a complete defecation of the social body. that there shall be no space for Liberal Whigs or Liberal Tories; but that all shall be distributed into the two C1a5.303 of real Conservatives on one side, or unequivocal revolutionists on the other. If, then, we look with anxious hope for a decisive majority in support of Lord Sandon's motion, a wish that such a manifestation may displace Lord Melbourne and bit colleagues has no part in that hope; and we are not quite sure that such a majority as we hope to sce against Ministers will have the effect of causing them to resign, or E ven cause them to adhere to their intention of dissolving the Parliament. As to resigning, we have proof that nothing but the last extremity will urge them to that step; indeed, their organs have been lately calling for Sir Robert Peel to spare them the necessity by improvisating a budget; aml, as regards a dissolution, it is quite clear that the grcattr the rm•jority against them in this their own flouse of Commons, the less their hope cf success upon an appeal to the Fople. The flame, we are per-luta-led-3nd our opiniln we know to p.evail arnorg the parties who ought to be best informed—has, to ago e.rt degree, its own fate in its own hands. Let L..,rd Sandun's majority be a decisive one, and Lord Melbourne hill cot dare to dissolve s while Sir Robert P. el, even sbouiri kr ace that the proper time for taking GfEez has arrived, have lisle rautive fur agitating the country by a diasolutice. MONEY M,IRKE'T and CITY NEWS. FROM TIIE MORNING ?AIM OF YESTERDAY. CHRONICLE.—The resolutions of the West India mer chante at their meeting on Wednesday present a striking con trast to their lamentations ever since the great measure of ernancipatien teetarne law. Until the Ministers of the Crown boldly declared for free trade, and for increasing the revenue by alteriug the tariff,the cry of the sugar colonists has been that they were utterly ruined, owing to the diminution of the sui ply, from the withdrawal of slave labour. It hes been their constant theme that the produce of colonial, and mere particularly Jamaica sugar, had decreased one-third in come quence of the change from forced labour to free, ar.d these is no doubt that the quantity of plantation sugar grown has fallen off considerably in consequence, ulthoughltheilanters have been more than compensated by the rise of price and the 20,000,03('i. of hard money vaid them. Now, however, when it proposed to provide an additional supply, and to relieve the consumer by reducing the protective or differenti,l duty in their favour, on foreign growth, to ill's. a cwt., the tone is altoge ther altered, and they have the effrontery to declare that "this measure is net justified or excused by any alleged high prim or inadequacy of supply." The contradict:oils between their farmer d clarions and present professions are so palpable that they have attracted general Us:l-cation in mercantile circles. Both cannot be true; and, indeed, neither is strictly so ; for although the West Indians were formerly correct in so far as that the transition from slave to free labour has been attended with a deficiency of yield, yet there was no gcod cause for their my of " euin." Now they are dearly asserting that which is false, in alleging that the redaction of the duty on foreign growth is nut called:or by the increase of price or inadequacy of supply. The tab:es which we publishrd yesterday of the quantities of sugar imported fur the last four years prcve the falsehood of their statement, and their own returns of the importations fir 1839 and 1840 confirm the accuracy of our tables. The \Vest Indians give no comparison of 1838 wi:h the two last years, because It would show a still greater deficiency, and they cunningly avoid all allusion to the great increase cf importa tion of foreign, of East India and Mauritius sugars since 1837 ; the quantities imported to the United Kingdom of these descriptions have nearly tripled, that is, they have increased from 342,700 cwt. to 805,167 cwt. ; and, notwithstanding this great addition of foreign growth, the grass importation for 1840 was 446,743 cwt. less than in k 37. Then, as to the enhancement of price, the rise within the four years in question has been from 34.7 to 49.1 on British plan tation, equal to 15/. a ton, while the sugar revenue for 1840 was less than it was either in 1837, 1838, or 1839. When these facts are considered—showing a serious falling off in sup ply—in connection with a constant increase in our population, and an enlarged demand, it is evident that means must be taken to command an additional supply, to prevent a continu ance of an exorbitant price for an article of consumption which has now actually become a necessary of life to the great body of the Foils. The impracticable and impolitic opposition raised by some of the abolition party to the reduction ot the duty on foreign sugar, upon the ground that it encourages slavery, is now very gene ally acknowledged. It is seen that, if the measure is to be opposed upon moral principles, it cannot be done by halves. The nation cannot be only partially virtuous ; we must be entirely so. and deal out even-handed justice, so as to refuse to hold commercial intercourse with any country that raises produce by slave-labour. The enforcement of such a principle would put a complete stop to trade, and ruin every one having property embarked in commerce or manufactures. Such being the palpable absurdity to which the system of exclusive dealing would bring the policy of the Crown, as proposed by the To ries, if fairly and efficiently enforced, it is said that some of the Abolitionists have given it up, and taken their stand on the less objectionable principle of calling fur a reduction of the duty on free-labour sugar. If we had not distinctly seen that the opposition to the reduction of the duty on foreign sugar, on the ground that it would support slavery, was based upon a false principle, and that instead of assisting in the work of universal emancipation, this country would rather prolong the disgraceful traffic by refusing to enter into treaties of commerce with slave-growing States, we would not have urged free trade opinions with so much determination as we have done. If the friends of abolition have now adopted a different ground, and taken their stand for a reduction of duty on free-grown sugar, we see much less ground for differing with their tactics. They would treat the subject, by so doing, in a practieal light, as a question of pounds, shillings, and pence ; and the only point then to be settled would be whether the differential duty of 125., proposed in favour of free-labour sugar, was sufficient, or the reverse, to enable it to command the market. opinionO eb u ny r enrnalr npine r h ii os a tr s t b yi eneo point t a h l e l a along rntficlrea t p h i a tn t l tehnet produced,e a d rup, v or a r tag sius and e s s k7l7 a ' n s d Pd g ld enable them to compete with p er f ect safety against pro duceforeign under the protective d u ty o f 12 5., wh i le the balance of supply required to meet the demands of our po pul t a a t t i e o s n would, be obtained from the F e ast Indies a n d foreignr States. We still hole that opinion, consid er i ng the differential duty of P.:s. ample, and shall adhere to it until we see good grounds for modifying the opinions thus expressed, and which we still en tertain in common with many others more venant in the com parative cost of production and contingent expenses. A duty of 361. per cwt. on Brazil sugar, worth enly 21 s . 6d ., gives surely an immense protection to Plantation sugar worth 495. ld., and subject only to a duty of 245. It is reported that certain loan contractors sounded last week the leading monied interest in reference to a new Brazilian loan, but that they have met with the most decided refusal on the part of the most influential capitalists to enter upon any new bond emission as long as the Brazilian Exe cutive does not carry into execution the now so long urged measure of equalising all the different Brazilian loans, and 1- calling in all the bonds of the several loans contracted for in this country, mid emitting new bonds of one and the saa e date in their place. Shouid the Brazilian Government persist in its apathy in reference to this operation, it vele], find out but too late of wha,t paramount importance the carrying out this measure is to the support of the credit of its country. There exists no doubt in the minds of those must versant in financial matters, that it would be a futile attempt to try to make a new loan without the so often receinmened amalgamation, even at It , or 15 per cent. under the present market price of 69 for the old stock.

THE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND THE BILL INTRODUCED ON THURSDAY EVENING BY THE DUKE OF ARGYLL TO REGULATE THE EXERCISE OF CHURCH PATRONAGE IN SCOTLAND. Whereas by an Act passed in the tenth year of the reign of her late Majesty Queen Anne, intituled " An Act to restore the patrons to their ancient rights of preserving Ministers to the churches vacant in that part of Great Britain called Scot land," the rights of patrons to present to vacant parishes in Scotland, which by an Act of the Scottish Parliament passed in the first year of their late Majesties William and Mary, had been discharged, annulled, and made void, were restored to the said patrons. Arid whereas the exercise of the said rights of patrons, in the manner and to the extent in which the same were restored under the said Act of her late Majesty Queen Anne, has at various periods occasioned great dissensions in the Church and among the people of Scotland, and has given rise to sundry evils and inconveniences whit h it is expedient for the future to obviate by certain modifications of the said rights of patrons as hereinafter provided. May it therefore please your Majesty, that it may be enact ed ; and be it enacted by the Queen's most excellent Majesty, and by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons in this present Parliament assem bled, and by the authority of the same, that if, at the meeting held for moderating in a call in favour of a Presentee to any Church or parish in Scotland, the major part of the male pa rishioners s.r members of the congregation to which the minis ter is to be appointed (being of the age of twenty-one years complete), who, at the date when the then existing vacancy in the said Church or parish occurred, were in full communi cation with the Church of Scotland, shall not concur in the s t aid call either by subscribing the same, or by not expressly dissenting therefrom (all who do not so dissent being holden as concurring), but shall appear before the Presbytery, and state in its presence their dissent from the call ; and if, after the Presbytery shall have endeavoured, in the manner here inafter provided, to remove :any misapprehensions that may appear to them to exist in the minds of the parties so dis. senting, their number shall not, by withdrawal of their dissents, be reduced to less than a majority of the whole male communicants as aforesaid, and the Presbytery or superior Church Judicatory reviewing its judgment, do not find that the said dissent proceeds from factious or malicious motives, or otherwise than from a conscientious regard to the religious in terests of the congregation—all right competent to the Pre sentee under his presentation shall therefere cease and deter mine ; and upon a final deliverance by the Presbytery or supe rior Church judicatory to that effect being pronounced, the patron shall have power to issue another presentation to a dif ferent Presentee, provided the same be done within the period of six months allowed by law to patrons for pre-enting, it being declared always that, in computing the said period of six months the interval which elapses between the lodging of any presentation with the Presbytery and the final deliverance pro nounced thereupon by the Presbytery or other Church judi catory, shall in no case be reckoned or included ; and failing of the patron issuing another presentation within the said period, so computed, the jus derolutum shall take effect in manner hereinafter provided. _ Provided always, and be it further enacted, that the indivi duals composing, in each parish or congregation, the body of male communicants hereinbefore mentioned as entitled to dis sent from the call shall be ascertained, and the mode of stating their dissent before the Presbytery, shall be fixed and regu lated in such manner as the Church may direct ; and it shall in all cases be incumbent on the Presbytery, before pronouncing any final deliverance on the said call, to take such means as to them shall seem most expedient to ascertain that the dissent of the major part of the male communicants as aforesaid, does not proceed from factious cr malicious motives, and further, if they see cause to take such means as they may judge suitable for removing misapprehensions from the minds of the people, and obviating thei r obj ec ti ons to t h e presentee; and it shall in all cases be competent to the patron or the presentee, who may allege that the said dissent proceeds from factious or ma licious motives, to establish the same before the Presbytery o superior Church Judicatory by evidence, competent accord ing to the law of the Church in the judgment of the said Ju dicatcries. And be it turner enacted, that in no case in which, in virtue of the provisions of this Act, the right of any presentee under a presentation in his favour shall have ceased, as afore said, shall it be competent for the Presbytery of the bound -t, in any event, to claim sr exercise any right tanquam jure deco into to present to the said Church or parish for that vacancy, any law or practice to the contrary Lotwithstanding ; and if thereafter the patron shall fcil within the time by law pro vided, and computed as aforesaid, to issue a presentation which sha'l prove effectual to fill the vacancy, the right to pretext to the sJitl church or parish for that vacancy, shAl thereupon de yell? upon and be exercised by her 3lajesty and her heirs and successors, as fully and frcely in all respects the right to pre rent tauquanzjure devoluto is at present used and exercised by Presbyteries of the Church ; the presentations or successive presentations so issued by her Majesty and her heirs and suc cessors, being always subject to the provisions of this present Act.

The children of the National Schools of Lon lon assemblea in the Fgyptlan Hall of the mansion-housc. on Thursday, for the purpose of undergoing the annual examination before the Lord Mayor, several Clergymen, and other friends of the In- stitution. 'I he friends of the National Schools afterwards dirind at the London Tavern. Alderman and Slit riff Gibbs in the Chair. The Chairman was supported by his brother Sheriff* (Mr. Farncomb), the Bishop of London, Mr. Pownall, Sir C. S. Hunter,. Doctor Russell, the Rev. G. Croly, &c. &e. After the usual loyal toasts were drunk, The CrIAIRMAN proposed—" Success to the National Schools." For the thirty 3 ears which had passed away since their eAablisliment they had rendered indescribable benefits to the community, and he trusted that it would be soon in the power of the Committee, through the benevolent contri butions of the public, to establish a fourth school in the Eatern part of the Metropolis.—(Hear, hear, and cheers. He felt convinced that the friends of national education would respond to the call, and vigorously promote the vic►ps of those who were constantly labouring in the patriotic cause. It was, he declared, particularly aratifying to hear the oi inion so warmly expressed by the Right key. Prelate the Bishop of London, as to the superiority of the progress of the last year over any former examination of the children. His Lordship had stated that the test of advancement which he had that day witnessed exceeded not only his expectations but any evidence of past experience —that in fact of all the examinations at which he had been present, th it which he had just witnessed was the best, and bore the strongest marks of efficiency._ (Cheers.) The Committee and the ( hairman were deeply in debted to the Rev. Dr. Russell for so ably superintending the examination, which had called forth such valuable praise. The toast was drunk with the highest applause. The CHAIRMAN next proposed the health of the Bi,hop of London, whose exertions in the cause of national education, and in the spread of religious knowledge by the erection of churches wherever religious ignorance prevailed, would hand down his name to posterity with an effect compared with which labours for the promotion of other objects would be insigni. ficant.—(Cheers.)_ The Bishop of LONDON said that what their Honourable Chairman had attributed to him as a merit was nothing more than the mere performance of a duty which it would be culpa ble in him not to perform to the best of his capacity. He assured the Company that all the powers of his mind should be directed to the advancement of the spiritual good of the com munity.—( Cheers.) He thought the present a proper occa.. sion on which to state that an inquiry was proceeding under the King of Holland which additionally proved the high claims of that sovereign to the love and admiration of his subjects and of surrounding nations. His Majesty had appointed a Com mission to investigate the causes of the fatal effects of what was culled general education in England, and he (the Bishcp of London) had scut over to the King the whole of the publi.. cations on the subject.—(Cheers.) '1 he CHAIDMAN then proposed " The Clergy." The Rev. GEORGE CROLY returned thanks, and urged the necessity of snaking every effort for the diffusion of national education. He assured the company that 100,000 children we:e in the habit of wandering through the streets wholly des titute of the means of acquiring education. One-fourth of that number would, in his opinion, supply an adequate argu ment for the vigorous efforts of the friends of humanity. Several other speeches were made in favour of the national schools, and it was suggested by some of the Committee that great advantage might arise from appealing to the parochial clergy to sr:licit contributions to forward the treble objects of the friends of the rising generation. SEWERS COURT. The Commissioners of Sewers for Westminster and part of Middlesex met yesterday, at their offices, Greek-street, Soho. The minutes of the last special meeting having been read, The SECRETARY drew the attention of the Board to several Bills now before Parliament affecting the Commissioners of Sewers throughout the country. Certain correspondence between the solicitors of this Board and of Chelsea Hospital were also read, the upshot of which was that the Commissioners of the Hospital would enter into no compromise, but would proceed Aid' their action against the Commissioners of Sewers for illegal distress, the course pursued by the latter having been pronounced by the Solicitor General as wrong, both in form and substance. Several persons, who were summoned for non-attendance on Juries, appeared, and on their excuses were exempted from the fine. Mr. Charles Tylee pleaded his age (62 years) in excuse. Mr. C. BANE (Commissioner)—Why, I am ten years older than you, and I don't think myself disqualified from acting as a juror. Mr. Tylee—A h ! but I do.—(A laugh.) The COURT, having a.:monished Mr. Tylee to attend to the ummons in future, remitted the penalty on this occasion. The wife of Mr. Samuel Winward appeared to a summons to explain the cause of her husband's non-attendance on a Jury She said he was out of town at the tins at which the ury was to sit. Being required to swear to that. fact, she declined, g i v i ng 03 her reason, t h at h er h us b an d b e i ng serrsnt to Lord Cardigan, was so often in town and out of town, that the could not swear positively as to where he taas at a particular time. • The COURT ccnsidered her contumacious, and fined the hus band 61. by a majority of 7 to 4. Mr. BRA NscomuE (Comm;ssioner) remons!rafed with the Board on the severity of the decision, and bo.e testimony to the truth of Mrs. Winward's statement, that her husband's stay in London was at all times irregular and uncertain. The CHAIRMAN thought there was no reason why she should not swear to her evichnce as any other witness, and the majority of the Board concurred with him that the Tice should be enforced. The principal business of the day was to consider the exec- dieney of i,suing warrants of distress fur rates upon churchei and vestr , -rooms. After a short conversation the question was put, whether the warrants should be signed, and no handi , eing had up in the affirmative, the negative was taken as carried. The Court sat until four o'clock. .A fatal accident recently took place on the railway betwoen Paisley and Glasgow. One of the guards, named Barclay, contrary to instructions given to him, was amusing hims,ll cuttirg capers upon the roof of one of the arriagt s, with his back to the engine, which was moving with great rapidity, when his head tame so violently in contact wit a briOgo as to vatne instantaneous death. • CORN LAWS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sta—Your noble exertion in the cause of reform, anti the wide circulation of your Journal in this county, causes me to request an insertion of this letter in your next Paper. The duty on corn having now been made a " Cabinet Question," it behoves every well-wisher of his country. to exert himself for the repeal of these abominable laws. With the exception of one Noble individual the landlOrds in this country are for the most part a set of infa mous Tories who oppose to the full extent of their power everything which has for its object the good of the country. I have no doubt, therefore, that the re peal of the Corn-laws will be strenuously opposed by the aristocracy and landlords of this county, more especially to those who, having small incomes, aro fearful lest their rentals should decrease; for example, the Earl of Warwick, who, it is expected, will use every means in his power to procure petitions from his tenantry against the Repeal. I beg to say a few words to the farmers of this county. Yeomen of Warwickshire—Come forward and express your opinions on this great question—appoint a day to dis cuss the question. The repeal of the Corn-laws is not a poli'ical question ; it is one which affects the interest of all classes, and one of vital importance to you. The present high state of provisions cannot exist long. The depression of trade, which every day in creases, will cause the mechanics to emigrate to coun tries where they can obtain a better remuneration for their labour. English manufactures will then be shut out from the Continent, and then farewell to the glory of Old England. Yeomen of Warwickshire, be assured unless you now step nobly forward and assist in the repeal of the Corn-laws, your fate is inevitably sealed. Come forward then and chew yourselves inde pendent Englishmen I Fear not the persons of your landlords ! Send petitions for the repeal to Parliament, and oblige the nominee of the Earl of Warwick to present them. Remember the words of Mr. Huskisson—" It is my unal terable conviction that we cannot uphold the Corn-laws, now in existence, together with the present taxation, and at the same time increase national prosperity, and preserve public contentment." I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, Warwick, May 6, 1841. H. H. F. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Mar 7. RATNE V. BENEDICT. This case, which was reported in our Paper last week, was again brought before the Court this morning, by an applica tion for an injunction to restrain the defendant, who is Captain of the brig Armadillo, bound for America, but now lying at Cowes, for the purpose of refitting, from selling a portion of the cargo, but leaving it open to him to prosecute his voyage. His LORDSHIP said the present application was substan tively the same as the last, which he had refused, because it did not appear that any proceedings had been taken by the plaintiff to restrain defendant from prosecuting his voyage. It waa a hard case for the plaintiff, but at the same time he had had ample opportunity of showing the Court whose property the goods were, instead of which it was still uncertain that the plaintiff was the owner of the cargo. Under these circum stances the application must be dismissed with costs, but he might be disposed to interfere if it were shown that the Captain was relieved from liability, and that the property was that of the plaintiff. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, MAY 6. (Sittings at Nisi Prins at Westminster, before Mr. Baron PARKE and a Special Jury.) DUNN V. ALEXANDER• Mr. BAILEY, on the part of the defendant, moved to make a rule absolute which called upon the plaintiff (the notorious persecutor of Miss Burdett Coutts) to show cause why judgment should not be entered up, notwithstanding the issuing of a writ of error. Mr. Baron ALDERSON—I have to state that I received a lever ftom the plaintiff yesterday asking this motion to stand over, on the ground that he could not obtain a day rule, Mr. BAILEY--.1-lo has been in Court durirg the morning. A person who sat on the floor said Mr. Dunn had not been in Court all day. Mr. BAlLEY—Several persons in Court assure me that they have sren him, and that at this moment, if utt in Court, he ii in the immediate neighbourhood. Mr. Dunn's friend gill denied that he bad been out of Surrey that day. (Mr. Dann is 2pi isener in the Queen's Becch. ) Mr. 13,..iley's clerk affirmed that be bad seen him within a very short time. Mr. BARON PARKE —You ore all speaking without affi davits, but we nil! be inclined to think the patty secm,7 another is the more correct. We will make the rule ale: so!ute on the understanding that it nill be opened to morrow if the plaintiff has any cause to show. Mr. Baron ALDERSON—I thought it my duty to mrnti..n the roe( iet of the letter. I thi .k it is very improper fir any suitor to write to a Judge, and was the more , urprised in the present instance on accout.t of the plaintiff t e:. g a ba-rister. I - le must have known it was highly improper. Rule absoluta, upon the above understanding.

HANOVER, APRIL 30.—1 t is said that the Duke of Bruns wick was so ill during the whole of the King's visit, that it was not possible to speak on matters of business. It is said, how ever, that on a direct application of our Government respect ing the Customs Union, it was answered, on the part of 13runswick, that the negotiations at Berlin for the accession of Hrunswick to the German Customs Union were too far advanced. There is, therefore, no doubt that Brunwick will se parate from our League. It is however, affirmed in many quarters that the loss to our treasury will be extremely small, and that an increase of our taxes, which is talked of, will not be on that account, but in consequence of the intended aug mentation of the military establishment. BltUas wic x, APRIL'", —The visit of his Majesty the King of Hanover on th e D u k e ' s birth-day, was quite unexpected, at least by the publi c i n general. He arrived i n t h e a f ternoon, and returned to H anover on the following day. The shortne s s of the visit entitle us to conclude that there could be no im portant discussions, tending to interrupt the negotiations with Prussia for our accession to the Customs Union, and so we may hope, with undiminished confidence, that the negotiations, which are to begin on the 3(1 of next month, will lead to the long-wisbed-for accession to the Prussian League.

Ma) 3—" Inv. of the Cross, ORE' ACS. nat Bishops are a..icairers tf Papacy there can be no doubt, and it ought not to excite "especial wonder," or great amazement, that they should be so, or that they should have a hearty (though secret) desire to return to that communion from which their predecessors, some three centuries ago, professed to dissent; and against the vain ceremonies and ordinances of which Church their prede cessors protested, and against which they, the Bishops, now profess to protest, although it is self-evident to all reflecting and unprejudiced minds, that they have a hearty and sincere, though secret, longing after that which their predecessors protested against. If these things be not so, how is it that certain amongst them have sent forth, or caused to be sent forth, a feeler, in shape of the Oxford Tracts ? You have done much to weaken the vain, absurd, ridi culous trick ; of which timely interference and check, you will, at no very distant period, see the fruits. . - It would be well at this time to set before the people at large, in its true colours, the cause of the original rupture between Mother Church of the Continent, and her daughter-in-law of England ; but it is not my purpose to enter more fully now into this subject, I merely wish on the present occasion to ask these natural men (1 Cor. chap. ii. vtr. 14), the admirers of Papacy—Puseyitea— sticklers for the traditions, alias the inventions of men, when, where, in what age of the world, under what cir. cumstanees, and for what purpose, did Mother Church of Italy hold the first Feast of " the Invention of the Cross ?" and for the celebration of which this day (May 3) is sane tified e., set apart, in the present year? The Pusey ites are very learned in this legendary lore,", and can, no doubt, give us a full, true, and particular account of this wonderous invention ; to which I would most earnestly call the attention of the people, as there is more hidden under this " Invention of the Cross," than the admirers of Papacy ever dreamt of in their vain philosophy, and which shall be made apparent when the proper time arrives. 1 Cor. chap. 13 ver. 10, 11. BEN MELEE. Lyons-holt, Devon, May 3, 1841. i` Church Histery ; or, the History of the Church. ROYAL AS YLUM FOR DESTITUTE FEMALES, MANOR HOUSE, CHELSEA. The first public anniversary of this admirable restitution was celebrated at the London Coffee-house, on Wednes day, the Marquis of Normanby in the chair. The objects of the Society are the reception and reformation of young females who stand exposed to the fearful consequences of vice and ignorance, and who may be enumerated under the following heeds —The3 young offender who has been convicted and imprisoned for her first offence ; thoeo dis charged from service for dishonesty, but not prosecuted; the ignorant and destitute, who, although not guilty of crime, are incapable of obtaining their livelihood. The Institution thus aims at assisting immense numbers of poor creatures whose cases are not recognised in the regulations of other establishments. Upwards of seventy gentlemen sat down to dinner on the occasion. After the formal public toasts were drank, The Noble CHAIRMAN rose to propose success to the Institution, which was he said a most promising specimen on a small scale of what might be done hereafter upon . a most extensive plan. He had felt great satisfaction is visiting the asylum, and he viewed it as an institution connected in no small degree with the subject of secondary punishments, which engaged the attentive consideration of the Remit:ye at the present moment.—(hear, hear.) That subject he begged to say was one on which the public opinion seemed to be less fixed than upon any other relating to the morel advantages of the community. It was one upon which, under the circumstances in which he was placed as a member of her Majesty's Gear( rnment, it would not become him to speak particularly. Whatever steps, however, it might be deemed necessary to take as to secon dary punishments, a great deal must depend upon the ,means taken to effect the subsequent reformation of offenders, and the Royal Asylum appeared to him to supply the means, by the salutary control and example which its sys tem exhibited, in rescuing females of tender age from those who originated the crimes which made them the ob jects of the charity.—(Cheers.) Mr. Yruotens, M.P., proposed the health of the Noble Chairman, who had, by countenancing it in his public ca pacity, rendered great service to the Institutior. which was a entrain means of alleviating a vast sum of human misery. The toast was drank enthusiastically. The CHAIRMAN in returning ilenika regti tted that he had been prevented by very weighty engagements from taking the chair last year, for be had heard touch is praise of the Institution front a lady, whose virtues were well known to the world. He meant Mrs. Fry_( Loud cheers)—while he was the Governor of the sister country, that excellent woman hod rendered great assistance in ea tablishing the female part of a large institution for the re formation of offenders, and when ho was appointed to the situation which he had now the honour to fil', he was led by her representations to visit the asylum, and he recommendel it to the patrol:age of her Majesty.-_( Cheery.) Mr. HILL, the Queen's Counsel, proposed—" The Lord Mayor and Corporation of tire City of London." That great body had, he said, not only extended its patronage, but its munificent bounty to the Society by a vote of 200 guineas. It happened that befcro he sat down to enjoy the present party, be had occupied himself in reading an account of the City of London, in which it ens add that the Corporation in former days thought the only mode of diminishing crime was to exercise punishment, and th,t no more than a century ago that body called for the infliction of more revere punishments then were then in use. The experiment was tried, and the company be addressed were now near the spot where the alteration was tested with the most unrelenting sever ity.—( Lard cries of " Hear.") He would instance in pal - fouler one crime—that of forgery. No one could say that the experiments to abate that offence were not abundent, and what was the result ? That forgeries increased as the punishments increased. At last a Let•cr feeling came forth. The penalty was mitigated, and the crime decreased. That was a powerful argument in favour of merc:ful infliction. While capital punishment awaited conviction, all the Crown could do was to inflict that punisinteat after conviction; but how m an y escape d in consequence of the awful severity of the sentence pronounced upon the de linquent? Witnesscr, prosecutors, and juries, all shrank from the thought of a verdict which consigned a aictim to death, and would net do their duty even when impelled to do it by the sanctity of an oath.—( Cheers.) It was now known that death could not be inflicted except in cases of the very deepest criminality, and secondary punishment, therefore, was become a subject of great importance. So much being dependant upon a system of reformation, he wished to see asylums like that which the company were celebrating multiplied over the country, in aid of the plan of secondary punishments in progress. He had visited the Royal Asylum and seen the operation of the admirable system of kindness united with firmness, which dis;in guished the management.—(Cheers.) He had found that numbers of those who were snatched from destruc tion by its means had become moat useful members of society. By kindness, firmness, and perseverance, every thing was capable of being accomplished upon the minds of young persona. He wished that all who still were in favour of severe punishments, were aware of the feeling 3 of a judge in assing sentence upon a youthful and ig norant fellow-creature, brought up perhaps ucdar these who derived a profit from the vices in which they in structed him. He wished that they could feel as the Judge felt, who knew that the only chalice for the poor boy was that he should be brought to the bar again and again, until condign punish. ment finished his career.—( Cheers.) What their could be more noble than the institution, the benefits of which they assembled to perpetuate? Th e L earne d G entlemart concluded an admirable speech, of which the above is but a faint sketch, by propeeiag "the Lotd Mayor and Cor poration ofthe City of London." Alderman JOHN JOHNSON returned thanks. He b 4a known the Institution for twenty years, and he had rece al l y visited it with Miss Neave, its excellent founder.—( ;;rest cheering,) The operations were admirably carrier. on by a Committee of ladies, who would, he was convinced, with the assistance of the Queen arid the Noble Marquis, taost largely extend its utility. He begged leave to recer ainenn i to the same patronage another institution of r, similar nature, wLich had been established for boys. He meant the House of Correction in St. George's The CHAIRMAN then more particularly alluded to Miss Neave and the other ladies under whoa,, constant superin.. tendance the Royal Asylum was coir:P.teted, and by whose exertions it was likely to become un institution cf vast public utility.—(Loud cheers.) These ladle; had visited the gaols of the metropolis, and had come to the direction of the Asylum with all the advantages of their philanthro pic experience. He considered it tecessrry to stare, that whatever steps might be taken with regard to secondary punishments, the imprisonment, of criminals should never be perpetual, therefore all therm wk,ose lives should be spared by the clemency of the Snverelg n or the law, would be open to the benevolent exertions, of individuals who, like theses ladies, criginated and eir , ,mted insttutions to reform the guEty.—( Cheers.) Hiv, Lordship liegged to state that the ladies were assisted in their great work of charity by several gentlemen whorn he saw around him ; he shc,iild therefore propose the health of Mr. Charles Pearson and the Committee of Mane gement.—( Cheers.) Mr. Citarcus PEArso N retu rne d thanks !n a speech ad.. mirably adapted to 1:no occasion, and stated that he was particularly instrucf,ed by the ladies to impress upon the company the necessity of obtaining a large amount of annual subscriptions. The healtt i of the Ladies' Committee was then drank with great enthusiasm, and Mr. Par returned thank!. A list of subscriptions was then read. They amounted to 3001. Sevc.al other toasts were drunk, and the evening's en tertair..ment was much enhanced by the comic effu s i ons o f the celebrated Tom Hud son , and the very fine singing of Messrs. Ransford, Robinson, &e. The company did not separate till twelve o'clock. LONGEVITY. --.Died on 'sunday morning last, at the patriarchal age of at least lot years, Mr. Francis Wilding, of the Sheppen Fields Farm in this county (Salop). He was born at Betcheott, on the estate of the Honourable H. W. Powis, of Berwick House, near Shrewsbury, and was from his teens to manhood in the service of the Fowls family; after which, about 80 years agcy, ha became the tenant of the Sheppen Fields Farm. near the place of his birth, and alio belonging to the Pee is estate, and continued tenant of it down to his death. He was christened at Smethcott, the parish in wbicb, Betchentt is situate, on Christmas-day, 1740, but boa! old he thin was his friends have. not the means of Inioving. He was no disciple of the Cornaro school, but on, the contrary, all his life indulged in good but not lux -I,ll'd ant living, and on fes.tivo occasions always took his 111.'41 share of Shropshire ale, and was a declared oppor.ent of fasting and teetotal notions—his last cup of ale having b een taken so late as the 14th ult. He has long been, f corn his great age, and the good-natured qualitics of his %ilia, an object of veneration and respect; and down to about three years age, took his daily wtlh on his farm, and was in possession of his mental faculties to the last, It is believed by his surviving relations that his real age was 103; some say that he was 106. —Salopian Journal.
