YENING EDITION to call the gentlemen of the Grand Jury amt Magistrates into hi. private room, and endeavour to persuade them against. Ca the ic emancipation—that calling upon him to tamp r with the Jury upon a great political question ; yet that letter 'sac de feoded by the Right Hon. Baronet. He could not w ell ex , mse it indeed but he glozed it over, and preve.,ted any official notice of it being taken. He established a force of yeomanry 32,000 strong, 1,9t.0 of them were in the province of Ulster, and from that period down many victims Lid been yearly sacrificed on the anniversary of their orgies. It was a tact probably little known that the Ulster Yeomanry opposed the teetotal move ment ; they even fired into their meetings; so violent were they that the Archbishop of that province had requested Father Mathew to abstain from entering his province until assured of his safety. He would ask if Hon. Gentleman opposite were in power, would not every Magistrate whe had been removed from the bench be restored ? Would not the bench be again cromded witia the bigoted enemies of the people ? Five Judges had been made] during the last ten years, not one of whom could be accused of any political partizanship. But on the other side, there were Judges now upon the bench who ought to have retired long ago , one was upwards of 80 years of age ; he had gone circuit for three years, and his mind was gone, yet he remained on the bench, in order that no one should be raised to it in his place who was friendly to the people. They would have Judges placed on the bench who had publicly stated their belief that a Catholic did not think himself bound by an oath ; its what situation would a Catholic prisoner, with a Catholic witness, be placed in before such a man ?— ( Cheers.) It was said that these things could not now be inflicted upon Ireland ; but the Right Hon. Baronet could not govern without the aid of the party, and the ten years in which they had been muzzled had not tamed them —the spirit remained still. But what was the situation of things in England? Had not one-third of the gen tlemen opposite obtained their seats by uttering the most atrocious calumnies against the people of Ireland and their re ligion ? " Surpliced :ruffians, " demoniacal priesthood," " villains "—these were the epithets showered upon the min's ters of religion. He had thought it his dnty to protest against men, supported by the utterers of such vile language, coming into office, for it would destroy the last hope of the people of Ireland. They had the Chartists with them now, but how long would they keep them after they obtained power?—(Cheers. ) He would remind them that during the disturbances in this country the people of Ireland repudiated the Chartists alto gether.—(Cheers.) They refused their aid—they (the Tories) now courted it.—(Loud cheers.) Were they not all aware that they had been courted, aye, and paid at Notting ham ?—(Load cheers.) Well, they had the Chartists now ; but would they go along with the Chartist movement, or would they put them down ? Suppose they were to break out again, upon such an attempt being made, would the then Government look to Ireland for support? Would they look to Ireland and withdraw 10,000 soldiers to maintain peace ? No, they would instead have to send tens of thou sands into that unhappy country, to keep the people down. What were their prospects in this country ? There never was a period of greater distress than the present. There were small wages and lessening employment. The Government offered to reduce their burdens, and give more employment. What said the other side ? Let things alone, and they will better themselves. But before doing so, was there no danger to the most important institutions of the country ? A noble man in another place was reported to have cried out in horror, " What, tax the bread of the people !"—( A laugh.) Poor maw, he was a man of but one idea—when a second one rose to his brain, he became confused. He knew that it must be a tax when it went into the Treasury and relieved the people from other burdens; but he could not conceive that it could possibly be a tax when a larger impost went into his own pockets and those of his class. He and those opposite refused to ghee their etarviag countrymen cheap bread. Oh, they were more cruel to this country than they were even to Ireland. They refused the people cheap sugar because they discovered for the first time that they had among them ardent advocates for the abolition of slavery.—(Hear, hear.) But would Hon. Gentlemen opposite vote with him for admitting sugar at a cheap duty which was not slave-grown? No. They would not. Did Hon. Gentlemen opposite who hoped to draw out the militia in Ireland, know that in two counties of Ireland only was there a majority of Protestants, and in these counties the people who enjoyed some comforts, would not take arms against their fellow-countrymen? And yet Hen. Gentlemen talked of their governing Ireland. Perhaps they believed that the people of that country might be conciliated by the Noble Lord the Member for North Lancashire, who was to be the sweetener of their cup, their organ of peace in Ireland. No • it was from the present administration alone that Ireland could expect justice or tranquillity. He was aware he had little to hope from the people of England, who were silenced and oppressed by being placed within the range of tyranny and corruption. It was only, however, he would repeat in con elusion, by conciliation towards Ireland, that they would esta blish the security of the throne and the prosperity of the country.-(Hear, hear. ) Mr. Lle DSA denied that bribery had taken place, as stated by the Hon. and Learned Member, at the English elee flea, as far as his knowledge went ; and it certainly had not ta k en place in Sandwich fur which he had been so lately re turned. He would only add, that he should feel great plea sure in giving his vote in support of the resolution then before the House.—( Hear.) Sergeant JACKSON observed that the speech they had just heard from the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin, though alluding to so many topics, had never once referred to the immediate question then under consideration. The Hon. and Learned Member had among other misstatements in the course of his speech, misrepresented the opinions of the Right Hon. Member for Oxford—he (Sergeant Jackson) would say knowingly misrepresented.—(Cries of " Order.") He begged pardon—he did not wish to say anything personally offensive to the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, but he should ob serve that it was not usual in that House to attribute to others sentiments which they had already repudiated. On the question of the slave-grown sugar, the Hon. Gentle man endeavoured, by shifting and contrivances, to set himself eight with the advocates of negro slavery ; and, for that pur pose, he brought forward a motion for the admission of free labour sugar ; but the Hon. and Learned Member knew well that such a resolution would be contrary to the spirit and letter of treaties adopted by this country. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman had spoken of the present Government as the only one which could confer justice or prosperity on Ireland. But that very Government connived at the repeal movement of the Hon. and Learned Member—a movement, which, if it sue eeeded, would be more injurious to both countries than any mb,asure ever adopted. Itepealers were now continued in the Commission of the Peace and offices of trust, while a gallant Member of that House had been deprived of his commission because he had proposed a party toast at a political meeting. The truth was, that a more one-sided and mischievous course had never been adopted in any country than by the present Government in Ireland. But, in fact, it did not deserve the name of a Government ; for, if they had a Government, the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, who was the main spring of the repeal agitation, would be (Mee& to behave himself. and to conform himself to the laws. Then there had been an allusion to bribery and intimi- Aetion at elections, and a charge had been made by the Hon. and Learned Gentleman upon teat head against that (the Opposition) party. But it did not become an advocate of Hon. Gentlemen opposite to bring forward such an accu sation ; for it appeared from the evidence taken before the Committee of the House that the foulest cases of corruption had been perpetrated upon their side. Ho had some ac quaintance wish the raanceu:res of the party opposite, and their attempts to tamper with electors. He knew that a political agent of; the Liberal party in Ireland had gone to: the borough of Bandon—he did not say whether recognised or not by any one—but a political agent had gone down to the borough which he (Mr. Sergeant Jackson) represented, and had promised to every Conservative elector who should vote against him ap pointments for his son, and to every elector who should remain neutral a sum of money.—( Hear, bear.) He knew the anxte'y of the Ministry to eject' him, but he defied them to do so, relying as he did upon the se?port of the unpurchase *hie though humble freemen of ' s eldom. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman had also talked of the Oppression of the landlords of this country towards their tenants; but it was 'tilt known that no man in I , eland pressed more severely upon h s tenants than the Hon. and Learned Member ; no man was more ready to distrain them than he was.—( Hear, hear, and cries of "Order ") Mr. O'CONNE'LL rose to order. That was totally untrue. Sergeant JACKSON said that the Hon. and Learned M: tuber had thought fit to defame the landlords of his country, and 1:e should not be so thin-skinned as not to listen in return to certain charges brought against himself. Was it not a fact that the Hon. and Learned Gentleman had distrained a tenant in April last (as s 'e understood) for arrears of rent?—(Order.) Mr. O'CONNELIi complained that a personal attack had been made upon bins, while he had not the possibility of a re ply. He appealed to the Chair if that were in order. The SPEAKER here made some observations which did not reach us. Mr. Sergeant JACKSON said it would be an injustice to Ireland—it would be an atrocity to say one word against the uprightness of the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin. The Hon. and Learned Member had frequently put forward at tacks aga nst the landlords of Ireland in their absence, and now lie c omplained of being himself attacked in his presence. Would the Hon. and Learned Member venture to say that he maser distrained a tenant in the month of April for rent due on the 15th of March ? He (Mr. Sergeant Jackson) had been assured of the tact by a gentleman on whose veracity he could rely. With respect :o the disturbed state of Ireland, it was riot the condu it of the landlords that caused it, but the conduct pursued by Government in Ireland,—by the officials in the ;Castle of who, when applied to for protection by the : landlord, met o,C.lse latter with the sentence, " Property has its duties, as well os its rights." Two murders of an atrocious nature had been lately committed in Ireland. Both the gentle-. men differed iu polities f. ma him (Mr. Jackson). The only eause to which the murder of one of those gentlemen could be attributed was, that lie had desired to appropriate to his own purposes certain portion.; of his own land, of which some tenants bad been dispossessed. The consequence was his mur der, and why ? B ecause the Hon. b and Le removedfrom nd, They we..e now called pulesby a Jury of hi s countr y men. ed ees to support .a Government w hich allow . cur able and Learned Member to go on that disorganizing If t h e imen the country.—( Hear, hear, hear. ) who mt on the Ministerial side of the House, knew the state into which the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin brote th t Ireland, they would strenuously condemn his con d uc t.a _a. respect to the want of confidence manifestedtowauardht ' to r A ti l ow je.ty's Ministers. and the consequence whi ch the Riesht3llon. Gen from it—eamely , resignation of ine tleman, the Secretary at War, had drawn a . very Government lion. That Right Hon. Gen t leman said, if the eeaied to possess the confidence of the House of Commons they ought not to continue to h eld the reins of powet:; b_eu; the want of confidence he meant , w as not that shown ia th Inability to carry certain measures, but distrust in the mode of administering the existing law. That w as the want of confi dence which, according to ' the Right Hon. Gentleman, should cause the Government to resign office. But that was only liraoing a distinction without a difference—it was " an ingeni ous device," &plausible, but by n o means sound ar g ument. Was there any more important duty of the Executive, than to propound measures to the Legis lature, which they thought necessary for the goo.' of the people ? It was pot the law of the Constitution that they were not simple Members of Parliament. When the Right . Hon. Bare vet the Member for Tamworth retired from offiee in 1835. the Noble Lord at the head of her Majesty's Government =aid that the Right Hon. Baronet acted in conformity with the aririt of the Constitution. The distinction, then, which the bight Hon. the Secretary at War drew was but a specious argument in defence of a Government that was determined to prolong the duration of its ignominious existence as long ita it could. It was a distinction negatived by the conduct of the leaders of every Government and by the conduct of the Right Hon. Baronet ( Sir R. Peel). whom his party would ever support. The Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin had called them a heterogeneous mass, but they would be found united as one nun. They placed confidence in their leader, and would sup port him despite the tubs thrown to the whale by the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite with respect to what would be his legislative and. judicial measures. The Government had no th:ng to fear in going on with their measures but what, their contemplation, was the greatest of all evils—a resignation, and to avoid that they were determined to throw out somethinz *herewith to agitate the eountry, and they discovered that the Comelaws were most calculate d to cause a ferment in the **not', withal would suit their purpose. NNEL n L rose to explain. He said, strictly apetks°; ► .he tsar n o right again to address the House, but lie 4 ,77.1:77; d wne" X . Common justice, when personally at sto—t-Tie allowed to :lect of his own operty, too, he ought eras bound to say, fi rst,ytit.fteltre words in his own defence. He stay manner in the Re _ spa had been very much assailed in w pers for every , thing but that. He never was attacked for his conduct as a landlord. He would say, • neat, that in all the lands which he possessed, there was not a single farm that was not let at from 4s. or ss. in the pound less than farms on the neighbouring estates. except in one place, where his property was met by that of his lion. Friend be bind him ( Sir David Roche). He (Mr. O'Connell) had, be • sides, more persons on his property with houses and gardens who paid him no rent at all, thin any other gentleman he knew of.—( hear.) He never turned out a tenant for the pur pose of taking possession of the farm ; whenever he did turn out a tenant it was on some other ground, and an other person was put in possession of the vaunt farm on pay ing a year's fine for getting into possession. He had never heard of it before. If his agent had done it he (Mr. O'Con ne'l) was in utter ignorance of it. There never was a diAress raised upon his land, and as long as he live.d there never should be. If the statement were correct the person who had done it and himself would immediately part connection for the rest of their lives. _ . Sir D. ROCHE said he felt it to be his duty to bear his testimony to the conduct of the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin as a landlord. He was a most forbearing landlord, and he assured the House and the Hon. Member for Bandon so muds so as to throw other landlords who were willing to do justice to their tenants into the shade. ➢lr. O'CONNELL inquired of Mr. Sergeant Jackson the name of his authority. Mr Sergeant JACKSON replied that he would give it on a proper occasion. Mr. SL ANEY was anxious to address the House very briefly on the present occasion ; and in doing so he would en deavour to avoid following the example of these who had gone before him, and not indulge in personalities. The present was a most important question; and he asked, what would the people think of the mode in which the debate had been con ducted? There had been recriminations on both side►, but they had failed to point out the mode by which, if the present Government were driven from office, the Government was to be conducted by their successors. He did not deny that the Right Hon. Baronet would endeavour to do something to re lieve the great distress which existed in the country, but what was it he proposed? He believed there was a growing feeling of indifference in the country as to the spirit of parties in that House; and that he looked upon as an alarming symptom. He thought if the people were to embody their opinions in one sentence, it would be a " plague on both your factions." His belief was that this was occasioned by great changes that had been taking place among the body of the people unnoticed by the Legislature. His opinion rested upon facts which no one could deny. The people were looking to see what great practical remedy would be applied to the evils under which they suffered. He had himself visited the eastern parts of the town, arid he found masses of people in such a state of wretched destitution as to almost exceed belief. He said this arose from the inefficient state of the law. What was the object of their allusions. To show that the great body of the people cared little which party held the reins of power ; what they were anxious about was to know by which party their condition would be most alleviated. The increase of crime at present was most alarming. It might be asked what did he pro pose? Why, it was his opinion that the balanced state of parties was a great evil, and, much as he was attached to those around him lie would rather see the Right Hon. Baronet in office, doing something for the relief of the people, than go on day after day as they did at present. One great evil suffered by the people arose from the fluctuation of employment, and it was the duty of a wise Government to prepare them for this and its consequences, by a sound educa tion. He thought the present Government had not sufficiently attended to this subject. Another great evil was the fluctua tion in the price of food.—( Hear, hear.) He said it was abso lutely necessary for the safety of the country that some step should be taken. They were bound to begin their legislation by attempts to improve the condition of the working classes. In the war of parties, in their eagerness to obtain place, these things were almost forgotten, but if it were not done he feared they would have soon reason to regret it. He was not san guine as to the result of this contest ; but he did implore the Right Hon. Baronet, after he should succeed to power, to use it, not for the aggrandisement of his party, but for the improve ment of the condition of his fellow-countrymen. One great claim they had upon his sympathies was, that they were unrepre• sented. Should he sit in any future Parliament, he should give his vote to either party that should attempt to alleviate their condition. The Earl of DARLINGTON said he had heard the speech of the Hon. Gentleman who had spoken last night (Mr. Handley) with great pain and great regret. He had long had the pleasure of knowing that Hon. Gentleman, and God forbid that he should quarrel with any person on account of a difference in political opinions. The Hon. Gentleman had read speeches delivered by eminent statesmen ten years since, and had charged those statesmen with inconsistency. Consistency was one of the most dangerous topics that conlei be touched upon in that House.—( Hear, hear.) There were few statesmen who had passed through a political career of twenty years whose conduct did not afford scope for charges of inconsistency. But why had the Honourable Gentleman confined his charge to the Right Honourable Barenet, when the Noble Lord who sat ust below him (Lord J. Russell) had, in the year 1821, deli vered in Devonshire so powerful an address in defence of the agricultural interest?—( Hear, hear.) He only referred to this to show how unfair it was to make such attacks.— (Hear, hear.) He was greatly astonished at the course which had been pursued by the Hon. Gentleman. Only a week or two ago he had expressed his want of confidence in the Govern ment; the Hon. Gentleman now retracted his words, and, without any apparent reason, declared that his confidence was restored. The Hon. Gentleman said there were passages in the Right Hon. Baronet's (Sir R. Peel's) speech, in which he said he was prepared to alter the sliding scale, and he asked his Right Hon. Friend what scale he proposed. He (the Earl of Darlington) had carefully read the speech of his Right Hon. Friend, and he could not discover the least ground for that statement. One thing the Hon. Gentleman by his speech last night had clearly proved. Whenever the subject of the Corn-laws had been brought forward, the Hon. Gentleman had boldly defended the agricultural interest; but the speech of the Hon. Gentleman was tantamount to a declaration that when the Government and the Corn-laws were at issue, be would desert the Corn-laws.—( Hear, hear.) Sir C. GREY thought nothing could be more inapplicable to the speech of the Hon. Gentleman the Member for Lincoln shire than a charge of tergiversation and want of straightfor wardness.—( Hear.) To him it appeared as explicit as a speech could possibly be made. The debate had that night taken a singular turn. Two of the speeches consisting of an attack on the Hon. Member for Lincolnshire, and another, that of the Hon. Member for Bandon, of an attack on the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin. He had heard nothing that night in the speeches of Hon. Gentlemen opposite which had anything to do with the question. He regretted exceedingly to see the Right Hon. Baronet in the position in which he was placed by bringing forward the present motion. He had attempted to reduce to a formula a part of the unwritten law of Pa liament, and in doing that he had gone further than any of his predecessors, leaders of an Opposition. The Right Hon. Baronet had not stopped short at representing to the So vereign that the .Ministers did not possess the confidence of the House, but he had pee a step further, and said that their con tinuing in office was contrary to the spirit of the Constitution. Did the Right Hon. Baronet consider to whom those words might be said to be addressed? If it was an imputation on the Ministers was it not also an imputation on that part of our threefold Government which, having the power to dismiss them, retained them in office ?—( Hear, hear.) The motion was trenching upon dangerous ground, to say the least of it, and ought only to have been brought forward on the most ur gent necessity. At the beginning of last session only, the House had decided that they could not come to a vote of want of con fidence. Since then the only measures brought forward had been the Irish franchise, the Poor-law, and the present mea sures—the most important ever propounded. They announced the commencement of an adoption of the principles of free trade, and an abandonment of those principles of prohibition which had hitherto formed the foundation of our commercial and financial policy, and, as a commencement, the three im portant a titles of sugar, timber, and corn, had been selected. The other party selected the reduction of the duty of sugar as the ground of their opposition. and the Noble Lord the Mem ber for Liverpool brought forward a resolution most art fully worded, so as not to bind his party to anything, stating the House was not then prepared to reduce the duty on sugar. The very word "prepared" insinuated that they might be at some no distant time prepared to do so, and on a resolution so artfully worded, they obtained a majority, and then called upon the Ministers to resign their places. He knew not by whose advice the Right Hon. Baronet had placed such a resolution on the Journals of the House, certainly not by that of the Hon. and Learned Member for Exeter. He thought it would be the most unfortunate thing that could occur to the Rieht Hon. Baronet to have a majority on this resolution, and to take office on such grounds. He believed the days of triumphant majorities were gone, and he was glad they were so. He should like always to see parties so nicely balanced, as to prevent any measures being passed without due consideration. If the Right Honourable Baronet came into office upon such a resolution, lie would find it a more slippery resting place than even his sliding scale. —( Cheers.) It was impossible now to act upon precedents of a century, or even half a century back. The in terests of this country were now so vast that it was impossi'de to do so ; and he would ask the Right Hon. Baronet if he were to bring forward in his budget any financial measure affecting any of the interests of even the City of London, whe ther lie might not usexpectedly find himself in a minority, and then ts ith this resolution recorded on the Journals of the House how could he hold office? The Right Hon. Baronet, if he succeeded, would have prepared a deadly weapon, by which the legitimate power of the Crown would be destroyed, and the Minister would only subsist at the pleasure of any one of the great commera ial or influ ntial bodies of the country, instead of at the pleasure of the Crown, according to the spirit of the Constitution.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") If carried it would prevent the Right Honourable Baronet, if he were to take office, from taking the sense of the people upon any im portant measures he might bring forward. It was a source of regret to him to see the Right lion. Baronet's position before the public so damaged as it had been by his bringing forward this resolution.--(Hear.) The speech of die Right Hon. Baronet in bringing forward the resolution, contrasted favour- ably, from the absence of personality, with the speeches of his supporters; but this spoke but little for the boasted unanimity party.omfeathsuereshid ar Tthiveetr ate f,l Ministers bringing bad been to free-trade l bring them forwird by events which no party could control— by the increase in the population— a nd the increased production of our enataufactures--and by the constant and prolonged state r of misery which the thousands without l e f m a plo t rent wereitt o h f e s a Lr " v ) ation from — abit C en i t e s s in of ' a ' Hear,sta e em ployment, yet surrounded by a fertile count:, wn w anw o t u e l r d eof itllebedfbeyriningh. tolerated that the inhabitants should be prevented by their Town Council from trading with the inhabitants of that county, who were willing to employ th em , and to trade with them, because some of the Aldermen p ossesse d estates in distant counties and insisted on having th e monopo l y of the supply of the Won ? The real question was n o t w h et h er these measures should be carried—they must be carried—but whether they should be carried fully, freely, and fairly by those who had brought them forward, or reluctantly and slowly by the Right Hon. Baronet. Long as the present di-cussion hail been, it hail not been too long to in'o,m the people sufficiently on all the points involved, especially that with respect to the Corn laws. Upon 64 subject he would venture to say that not twelve months would pass away before the landlords would have come to the conviction that far the safety at their prospe r i ty the Coin.laws should b e re p ealed in uniors with other Ineesures of a restrictive nature.—(lleac , ) Mr. C. BRUCE supported the resolution of the Right H on . Baronet the Member for Tamworth. He had listened with attention to the various speeches of Right Hon. Gentlemen on the opposite side of the House, all of whom . h had mystified and qeestien, erni totally failed ed in answering argumentstebveadedth e e ral of the Right Hon. Ilareeet he Member for Tamworth. 'The speech of the Bight Honourable Ba ronet the Member for Pembroke had excited in no small Whig as degree Jim bile of sHaiodn. of A b l im ern , b b e e t s ( opposite i‘ir.c..

The tenacity to office nn the part of the present Ministry, after their repeated defeats, had already gone farther than any former pre cedent, and they appeared determine d, notwithstandin g the y h a d L•at the confidence of that and the other House of Perlia= still to hang on the strings of the Ladies of the e c ment, retying ,iii support of the So v e rei g n to ment, areber, office, and call themselves a Whig Ministry—( Laughter)—although Under such circumstances, that thpy should ha ve b e en a ble t g they were abantloned the leading Whigs of the countr y . usurp the government of the country 'for so many years, :o . 'as only to be accounted for by the weakness of the body - p olitic. The present Government had brought the country into a state of difficulty and danger, from which it was the duty of the Members on that side of the House to rescue it. What was the causes of the financial difficulties that had brou2•ht hind to its present condition ? They were, first, constantly meddling with other States, by which they had brought the country into little wars, and thereby drained it of its re sources; next, they had abandoned the real duties of a Go vernment, and by that means csus-d the present consmerc:al distress of the country. The course of policy that had been pursued by this c,iuniry towards Holland and Belgium had 1 , -(1 to the setting up of a shadow of a kingdom, and had lost this country an old and faithful ally. What had been the result of the interference of this country with Spain? Why, the setting up ...o£. a military despotism. The non-success of the Legion in that country - was not attributable to the Gallant Officer who commanded it, but to the Noble Lord the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. What had been the policy of this country with re gard to France ? hat country had been carrying on for some years a most unjust war of aggression on the southern shores of the Mediterranean. Had the Noble Lord taken any steps to put an end to the war France was carrying on against the Moors and the Arabs ? If he had not, then the Noble Lord had not done his duty. But the Noble Lord might say that the war was a source of weakness to France. If he did so, he had altogether forgotten the cause of humanity. He would say that the war which was now being carried on by France in Num idia was as bad as that of the former Spaniards in Spanish America, or as that now carried on by the Ame ricans, so much to their shame, against the Aboriginal tubes. He knew very well that wherever our army or our navy was sent they would reap fresh glories ; butthat was no recommen dation to the policy of the Noble Lord, whose delay in nego tiations had been the cause of war between this country and France hanging tremblingly in the balance for many months. Neither would what we had done in Syria and Egypt prove of any service either to the Egytian ruler or to the Turkish Government. The annexation of the Syrian provinces to the Turkish empire would add to her no elements of strength to resist Russia. Not to dwell longer on foreign policy, he would make a present of the final settlement of the Boundary question, and congratulate him upon his successful endeavours to procure the release of Mr. M'Leod. He would now advert to what had fallen from the Right Hon. Member for Edinburgh, who said the Government were determined to carry the law into full effect. He would ask whether they had done so in regard to the present un happy disputes in the Church of Scotland? The people were now threatened with a loss of the blessings of the Establishment because of the inefficiency of the Government, or their inability to carry out the law. if the Lord Advocate had interfered at an early period and enforced the law, they would have heard little more of these unhappy disturbances in the Church. He must say that the conduct of the high Church party in Scot land had been—he was going to say, but would not—most shabby conduct; however, he would contend that the conduct of the Government with regard to the Scotch Church, if there was nothing else to go upon, would be sufficient to induce the Scotch Members to vote in favour of the Right Hon. Baronet's resolattion. The present Ministry had plunged the country into great financial distress—they had come to a dead stand, and they brought down to the House a set of projects— he could not call it a regular Budget—calculated to create agitation throughout the country, to set one interest against another, and to distract attention from the real cause of those evils which they had raised and were now afraid to face.—(Hear, hear.) He wished ' to ask the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer did be mean to go on with his Budget respecting the timber duties and the corn duties. when he knew that he had no chance of carrying them, and was only forcing Hon. Members to re main there during the dog-days of June ? It was said that the Corn-laws was a landlords' question, but the Government would find that it was not the landlords alone they would have to contend against. In Scotland most of the land was let upon lease, and these leases were generally for nineteen years. The tenants, relying en the faith of their leases, in most cases laid out their own capital in improvements and buildings ; and he asked the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who he believed to be as humane as most Chan cellors of the Exchequer, whether there would not be some injustice in sacrificing the capital of that valuable and useful class of men, the farmers of Scotland? On these grounds he should give his support to the motion of the Right Hon. Baronet. Sir W. SOMERVILLE would not attempt to follow the Hon. Gentleman who had just sat down in his extraordinary flights of imagination ; but he should claim the indulgence of the House while he shortly stated the grounds upon which he should vote against the resolution of the Right Hon. Baronet. He thought that there were no representatives in that House more deeply interested in the issue of the present motion than those of that portion of the United Empire of which he was one of the representatives. With them it was a question, he had almost said of life and death, and he should therefore in the few remarks with which he would trouble the House not touch upon the constitutional part of the question, which had already been treated of by gentlemen whose legal knowledge enabled them to do so far better than he could. He would then merely speak to the practical part of the question, which related both to the past and present Government of the Empire.—( Hear, hear.) They might with draw their confidence from the Gove-nment for the part they had acted, or in anticipation of the course they were likely to pursue ; but in the present state of parties, and the state in which parties were likely to be for some time to come, there was no Government which would not be obliged to mo dify many of their measures. Irish questions were now made the stalking-horse of the party to which he (Sir W. Somerville) belonged—continued allusion was in particular made in the course of the present and other debates to the ap propriation clause in the Irish Tithe Bill. If Hon. Members on the other side of the House were aware of the dangerous state in which that country was at present, they would not be continually taunting and twitting the supporters of Ministers. The Noble Lord the Member for North Lancashire charged Ministers with the exciting the hopes of the people without any intention of realizing those hopes. The Noble Lord should be the last to hold that language. It was that Noble Lord who first proposed the appropriation principle, When the minds of the people were raised to the utmost on the subject, the Noble Lord as a member of the then Govern ment, declared he would extinguish tithes altogether, and in a few days afterwards he came down and said that by extinction of tithes he did not mean extinction of tithes, but something else. Did the Noble Lord mean after that to taunt the Government with exciting the hopes and expectations of the people.—(Ministerial cheers.) Then there was the Noble Lord's Bill for amending the Registration of Voters in Ireland, which would render all government in that country impos sible. If the choice were given to him (Sir William Sommerville) between the adoption of that Bill, and having no representative system at all ' in Ireland, he I should prefer the latter, for under it they might have some chance of fair treatment, but under the Bill of the Noble Lord, the old ascendancy would be re-established ; and, if so, the Noble Lord would be the first to be frightened by the monster of his own creation, and shrink from the evils which he had called into existence.—( Hear, hear.) The Noble Lord the Member for Lancashire said the corn grown in Ireland was so much worse than that imported by the duty imposed. The meaning of that was, that Irish csrn was to be protected and brought into this country because it was bad. He believed the introduction of foreign corn would have the effect of doing away with the slovenly system of farming that at present prevailed in Ireland.—( Hear, hear.) He knew that on this question, as an Irish Member, he stood alone.— (Hear, hear)—but if this were so, his opinions were not adopted for the occasion.—( Hear, hear.) He had eceived letters on the subject from friends in Ireland, inquiring if he was mad? and perhaps Hon. Gentlemen op posite might think, not withltit reason.—( Hear, hear, and laughter.) Nevertheless, these were his deliberate opinions. He had always opposed the policy of the Right Hon. Baronet towards Ireland, and he was surprised to hear the Noble Lord (Lord Stanley), who was formerly so strong . a Whig, the other day pluming himself upon his success in obstructing Irish legislation, and in adding a few pounds to the amount of the franchise.—( Hear, hear.) How could he have confidence in such men ? How could he have confidence in men who joined in the " No Popery" cry when one or two Catholics were appointed to civil offices? How could he have confidence in the government of Ireland by men actuated by such a spirit, and professing such principles? For these reasons he must op.. pose the resolution. He believed the measures proposed by the Government would succeed, for they were founded in jus stice. As to the Corn-laws, he should he a loser by the change ; but that would be nothing, and he should not, on that account, oppose a Government who had had the boldness to bring forward a measure which they and he believed would be for the benefit of the country.--( Hear, hear. ) Captain HAMILTON said he could not understand what the Hon. Gentleman (Sir W. Somerville) meant when e said that low prices would not affect the wages of the agricultural labourer, neither could the people of England understand it. The people of England knew the true state of the case. The House had decided by its late vote that the Governme t did not possess their confidence. The people now read the speeches of Hon. Gentlemen on the Conservative aide, as well as those of Hon. Gentlemen opposite, and the real nature of the pre sent discussion could not escape them. The Noble Lord the Member for Lincolnshire had expressed his determination to vote on that occasion with the Government, notwithstanding the deep interest which his constituents felt in the maintenance of the present Corn- laws. The time, however, would come when they should all appear before their consti tuents; and for his part he should say that the sooner an ( l ess . tion came the better. —( Hear, hear, on the Ministerial henches. ) I-lon. Gentlemen opposite cheered him, but he would venture to say that the result of the new e'ections would bring about an alteration in their feelings.—(l-sear, hear.) With regard to a repeal of the Corn-laws he did not think it could possible benefit the working classes, inasmuch as if it lowered the price of food it would also lower the amount of wages. The present a,sitat ion might serve a party purpose, but it could not promote the interests of any class in the community. Mr. MUNTZ did not think that the only question before the House was whether the Government had the confidence of the House or not. There was another question, namely, whether Hon. Gentlemen opposite had the confidence of the House. Now they certainly had not his (Mr. Muntz's) confi dence. He acknowledged that the Ministry did not possess much of public confidence— (Hear, from the Opposition benches)—but the reason of that was that they imitated but too closely the conduct of Hon. Gentlemen opposite.--( Hear. ) He had heard no declaration of principle from the Right Hon. Baronet or any Member of his party, either as to the mone tary or commmercial affairs of the country, which could induce him to vote with them ; and he could not bring himself to re move olio set of flies which had settled upon him for the pur pose of bringing on another still more troublesome.—( Hear. ) Colonel CON OLLY could not understand how it could have been possible for the Right lion. Baronet the Member for Tamworth, having characterised the Budget in the terms he had done, and having demonstrated the financial incapacity of Ministers, to refrain from bringing forward thepresent motion. The Ministers had got the county into difficulties, and con fessed they could not get it out of them. How could any con. fidence be placed in them ? And then because the Right Hon. Baronet refused to state his intentions until he was in full possession of the requisite information, the Gentlemen opposite arrogated to themselves the prerogative of the Crown, and said that he should not be Minister. He believed the present Ministers to he destitute of all principle. They had given up their appropriation clause, they had given up their colonial policy, they had, with Conservative principles on their lips, brought for ward a measure dictated by the agitators of Ireland. How could any Confidence he pieced in men whose actions were so eontradsetmiy to their words ? They were not, at least the Present Ministry were not, entitled to any credit for the abo lition of slavery, and they attempted to interfere with that great experiment by bringing forward a miserahle, dilapidated measure of finance, the good to vise front which was doubt ful, the evil certain ; They had thrown every branch of our mpufactuets over, simply because they had been beaten in the late divisions. They were setting fire to a th p e pre p n r t e ie rn e i s s h e i s pl b: n o d re w :h e ey were ejected.

What se curity had they that the Ballot, Universal Suffrage, and every thing might not be granted? The Ministers had administered the affairs of the country in ass execrable manner.—(Cheers and langhter.) They had got the country into a state of in solvency, 4$ regarded the year, and the Chancellor of the Ex chequer had completely demonstrated his incapacity. What private gentleman would continue in his service a steward who had acted as the Ministers had done ? Their incompetency had been fully demonstrated, and their imediate ejectment vaane,.

TIE SUN, WICDON. FRTD k JrNE, 4. 1811 COMMODORE NAPIER. The following letter, addressed to a Morning Contem porary, we understand gives a very fair account of what Sir diaries Napier said at the Naval Club respecting Sir R. Stopford and the operations on the coast of Syria : Sir—Having just read in a Mornin g c , Paper of the 27th ult. the report of a speech delivered by the Gallant Of ficer commanding in chief in the Mediterranean (Sir R. Stopford), on the occasion of his health being drank at a ball and supper given to him by the officers of the fleet under his orders, I cannot but regret that the speech of Commodore Sir Charles Napier, at a dinner given to him by his brother officers of the Naval Club, in Bond-street, on the 10th ult., should not also have found its way into the papers. I take the liberty, therefore, of sending you the substance of that speech, as far as my memory serves. The health of our distinguished guest having been pro posed in energetic terms by the Gallant Chairman, Ad miral Sir Philip Durham, the Commodore rose, and spoke nearly as follows :—" To the Gallant Officer who now fills the chair, and to you, Gentlemen, I beg to re turn my thanks for the very handsome and flattering way in which my health has been proposed and received, and I do assure you that although I have had similar compli ments paid to me lately both at Liverpool and Manches ter, I place a much higher value on that paid me this day by my brother officers; and I will take advantage of this occasion to correct some misrepresentations and omissions in the reports of my speeches at those places, made by two or three of the public papers. lam said to have taken to myself the merit of all the successes obtained on the coast of Syria, and to have forgotten every one else. Gentlemen, I am happy now to repeat here what I did say there, viz., that I never saw more zeal, energy, and ability, than were displayed by the officers and men, collectively and indivi dually, when detached under my orders—and I can assure you that there were many officers there who would have &me the business equally well with myself ; and in the event of future emergencies requiring their services, I am happy to state my opinion that there will be no want of good and able officers to lead our fleets to vic tory. As to the efficiency of our ships, as far as atten tion to gunnery and internal arrangement, it cannot be surpassed; and. I do say, as it was displayed before Acre, whether the garrison had been British, French, or Turkish, instead of Egyptian, the result must have been the same, for no troops could stand before the fire of the fleet on that day. I must take this opportunity to cor rect an expression I inadvertently used on one of those occasions, viz., that on the coast of Syria I had to do the duty of general as well as admiral, making use of the word admiral instead of commodore, merely meaning that I was doing the duty of senior officer on shore as well as afloat, being at the time in a separate command. I am also accused of having taken no notice of the ser vices of the Royal Marines. Now I believe no officer entertains a higher opinion than I do of that distinguished corps, and since my return to this country I have been busily engaged in advocating the claims of those officers who served with me there. Now let me again thank you for the honour you have done me, as well as for the op portunity it has given me of setting myself right with my brother officers on points on which I have been misre presented." The above, though not verbatim, gives the substance of Sir Charles's speech, and had the greatest admirer of the gallant and respected Commander-in-Chief of the Mediterranean fleet been present, he could not have felt otherwise than highly gratified by the en thusiasm with which his health and that of the officers serving under him was drunk (previously to the health of the Commodore), prefaced by a very handsome eulogy by the Gallant Officer who pro posed it, an enthusiasm only surpassed by that shown to our guest, by all who were assembled to do honour to him to whom they thought honour was due, for profes sional merit and distinguished services, unmixed with a particle of political feeling, or the slightest wish to de tract from the merits of others. As an act of justice to the Commodore I send you this report without his know ledge, and hope you will give it insertion. I have the honour to be, Sir, A MEMBER OF THE ROYAL NAVAL CLUB. Royal Naval Club, Bond-street, June 1. REPRESENTATION OF MARYLE- BONE. A very numerous meeting of the electors of Marylebone re sident in the district of West Pancras, was held last evening at the Standard Tavern, Frederick-street, Hampstead, convened by the supporters of Sir Charles Napier, for the purpose of giving the Gallant Commodore an opportunity of explaining his political opinions to this portion of the constituency, as he had already done, with almost universal satisfaction, to several other districts of the borough. This portion of the parish of St. Pancras is known to be the stronghold of that knot of professed Radicals, who succeeded so mischievously in dividing the Liberal interest at the last election as to cause the representation of an important metropolitan borough to be neutralized by securing the return of a Tory. It was, therefore, expected that there would be a great muster of the factious, and, certainly, whatever they wanted in num bers, they made up for in noise, disorder, and indecency. Long as the Reporter has been in the habit of attending public meet ings, he never saw anything to equal the unfairness and auda city with which a minority did, in this meeting, prevent even its own supporters from expressing intelligibly their opinions. Mr. COOPER, having been unanimously voted to the chair, explained, amidst much discourteous interruption, the objects of the meeting, and having expressed his determination to dis charge his duties as Chairman withl strict impartiality, be sought the electors present to give a fair hearing to every gen tleman who should present himself to their attention. Sir C. NAPIER, who was loudly called upon, and enthusi astically cheered by a large majority of the meeting, then made the same frank and manly exposition of his sentiments as at the previous meetings elsewhere. After a long time consumed in boisterous and unseemly in terruption on the part of the united Chartists and Tories, Mr. Ross, who had supported and voted for Mr. Young until he saw that gentleman would never obtain the confidence Gf the electors, an.: that it could only serve the purposes of the Tories to put him forward again, moved a resolution declaratory of the satisfaction with which the sentiments of Sir C. Napier had been heard, and pledging the Reformers present to use every exertion to secure his return as the colleague of Sir B. Hall. Mr. GELL, who had also been friendly to the return of Mr. Young, seconded the resolution. Mr. HOPKINs then moved, and Mr. HARTLEY seconded an amendment, to the effect, that for the sake of union amongst the Reformers, Sir C. Napier should be requested to resign in fa vour of Mr. Young. The amendment was received with hisses, groans, and every possible expression of scorn and derision, which almost drowned the feeble attempts of cheering and applause which were made in its favour. After a vast deal of indescribable confusion, the Chairman succeeded, by a great exertion of patience, in taking a show of hands, which he declared to give 57 in favour of the amend ment, and 97 in favour of the original motion. Several of the supporters of the Commodore assured the Chairman that their majority was much greater, and that he must have over looked a number of hands held up in favour of the resolution. A division was called for ; but it was impossible to carry it into effect in the crowded state of the room and stairs adjoining. A prodigious crowd which had assembled in front of the house now became clamorous for the Commodore to address them from the window, and Sir C. Napier having expressed his willingness to yield to the persuasions of his friends to do so, the opposite party made a rush to the windows, and completely blocked up all approach to them. Sir C. Napier then withdrew, and on reaching the street was hemmed in by the crowd, who would not allow him to pass until he should have addressed them. A great number called out that they were electors of the district, that they could not get into the room, and that they wished to hear him where they could. A chair was at length procured, upon which the Commodore stood so as to be tolerably well seen and heard, at least by a portion of the vast crowd. We were, however, driven so fir to the out skirts, that we could hear nothing but the vociferous che=rs, which, in the course of his harangue, were sufficiently frequent and lengthened to give him ample breathing time. At the conclusion he was followe.l by the multitude cheering and huzzaing the whole of the way along the Hampstead-road and the hew-road, to his house in Baker-street. LIST OF NEW PATENTS, MAY 1841.

The Ball was attended by the Diplomatic Corps arid by several hundreds of the nobility and gentry, the ladies in new and elegant dresses, and the gentleme n i n th e i r respective Court costumes and uniforms, the Members of Orders of Knighthood wearing their respective insignia. The arrangements for dancing were similar to those at the last ball. The Throne-room and the Ball-room were prepared for dancing, with orchestras erected in each room for the Quadrille Bands. The canopy in the Throne-room for her Majesty and the Royal Family had even a more magnificent and imposing effect than at the former fete, additional orna ments and draperies having been introduced of gold and crim ,,en velvet, corresponding with the splendid drapery in front of the orchestra. Bath Ball-rooms were most brilliantly illumi • nated with large cut-glass chandeliers and candelabra, and also with a number of branches with wax lights. The Grand Saloon and the Picture Gallery were opened for the reception of the general company, and the Yellow Drawing room for the reception of the Royal Family. The Grand Hall and the principal staircase were most taste fully decorated with a great variety of the choiest flowering shrubs and plants. The Yeomen of the Guard lined the Grand Hall. The Officers of the Corps present were Sir George Houlton, the Ensign, and Sir Samuel Hancock (in waiting), and Captain Seymour Sadler, the Exons. The company began to arrive at the Palace at half-past nine o'clock. Her Royal Highness the Princess Sophia Matilda arrived early. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester was attended by Lady Georgina Bathurst and gir Samuel Higgins.

The Royal Family were received in the Grand Hall by the Maids of Honour in waiting, and also by the Groom and the Equerries in waiting, who conducted their Royal Hignesses to the Yellow Drawing Room. The band of the Scots Fusilier Guards, who were on duty in the Marble Hall, and also the Band of the Queen's Guard, who were on duty on the Palace lawn, received their Royal Highnesses with the usual honours. After the arrival of the Royal Family the Queen and Prince Albert were conducted by the Lord Chamberlain through the Grand Saloon into the Ball-room, the Steward and the other principal officers also preceding hPr Majesty and his Royal High ness, the members of the Royal Family, and after them the general company followed. Sets of quadrilles were then formed, and the Queen opened the ball with his Royal Highness Prince George of Cam bridge, his Royal Highness Prince Albert dancing in the same quadrille.

The Supper was served in the Dining-room ; the range of tables being ornamented with a number of epergnes and can delabra of the precious metals, embellished with designs of the most admirable execution. The beaufet of gold plate at the end of the apartment dis played, as usual, a collection of some of the most beautiful specimens of an ornamental character, having in the middle the large epergne known as the Prince of Wales'. The beau • fet was lighted by candelabra or sconces of gold, which were reflected in the large mirror which formed the back.

The friends of free trade in this town have deter mined to invite the distinguished statesman whose name stands at the head of this article, to allow himself to be put in nomination at the next general election, as one of the candidates for the representation of the borough of Liverpool. The requisition to his Lordship, though only publicly announced on Saturday, is already most respect ably signed, and includes the names of as large a portion of the property and intelligence of the mercantile body as we have ever seen to any similar document. Its progress hitherto has been extremely gratifying to those who ori ginated it, and in no respect more so than in this, that it has received the names of many gentlemen of Conservative principles, who have taken thi2 method of showing their concurrence in the commercial policy of her Majesty's Ministers, and their gratitude to them for bringing it forward. The number of signa tures of this description far surpasses our hopes, and encourages us to believe that the politics of the coun try are about to assume a more healthy and prac tical character than they have possessed for some years. In addition to the Conservatives who have signed the requisition, we are in possession of the names of many gentlemen of the same principles Who are determined to vote for Lord Palmerston if he should allow himself to be put in nomination, and these names, we are convinced, are only the representatives of a large class favourable, in the main, to the political principles of Lord Sandon and Mr. Cresswell, but not disposed to sacrifice the obvious interests of themselves and their families to mere party convenience. Indeed, the more we see of the state of public opinion in this town, the more we are convinced that the battle of commercial reform may be fought here with signal success. Of the many hundred names already attache I to the requisition the greater portion are those of merchants, shipowners, brokers, and professional men. We trust, however, that in the course of the present week it will be numerously signed by the shopkeepers and tradesmen of the town. Great numbers of them signed it yester day.—Liverpool Times. EARL FORTESCUE.—We are glad to learn that the statement which appears in one of the morning papers of to-day, relative to the supposed death of Earl Fortescue, the father of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, is without any foun dation. The venerable Earl has been rather seriously indis posed at his seat in Devonshire, but letters have been receive at his mansion in Grosvenor-square this morning, which bring the gratifying intelligence that his Lordship is now in a state of convaleseence.—Evening Paper. The matters at issue between the Aggregate Committee and the Committee of Dissenters have terminated, we are happy to say, in a very satisfactory manner. Mr. Hume having accepted an invitation to stand for Leeds, the Dissenters have not thought it necessary to bring forward any other candidate ; and we have now no doubt that our present Members will receive the undivided support of the Liberal party.—Edinburgh Paper. EVENING RDITION. MEETING OF MIDDLESEX G STRATES. Yesterday a very numerous body of the County V qidra met at the sessions-house, Clerkenwell-green. Mr. Pow in the absence of Mr. Sergeant Adams, took the Chair. THE HOUSE. OF COR.RECTION. Mr. EDMONDES read the Report of the Visiting Justicesere a th the House of Correction, whicli stated that at present es were 1,10:5 prisoners, exclusive of 24 children, via., sot real and 304 females.

The Deputy Clerk of the Peace stated, in answer to -1 (lit • tion by Mr. Wilson, that the name of the Magistrate who ' c d inculpated by Medhurst was Mr. Henry Marston Dyer, an that his name had been struck out of the Commission. 0 , After some discussion about certain alter:lions in the ner's Court, and the present state of Hanwell Lunatic AsPe"' the Court adjourned.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. Julia Roach and Mary Roach were brought UP b f sry ore Mr. Twyford, charged with violently assaulting Flemming. It appeared that the complainant, in company With he t sister, was passing alon g L ong - acre , w h e n theY l , l3l o o, the prisoners. The fi rst p r i soner came u p to and said, " This is th e woman t h at r obbed —", cousin, and I will have her life." She then ee ir menced a violent attack on the complainant, an d flitted a severe blow on her mouth, which bled pro as she was giving her evidence. The complainant nri Glared that she had never before seen either of the r e r soners, nor had any connection with them. The pris° ll o Mary Roach was not so violent as the other, bu t 5 struck the complainant's sister a blow on the m outh. bo This evidence was corroborated by th e po li c eman Iv took the prisoners into custody. During the time the evidence was being taken, the P o , soner Julia Roach conducted herself in so violent a l ot , ner, that the Magistrate ordered her to be held at th cose ; Mr. TWYFORD said lie considered it a very had t wo and he should sentence the prisoner Juli a Roach to months' imprisonment. 00 When she heard the decision of the Magistril' e u '„sl exclaimed, " I am much obliged to your Worship, will have her b y life yet !" and, springing fr° ln Azi r officer who held her, across the office, she seized the c ;ol plainant by the throat, and bore her to the ground' bS would have inflicted some serious injury upon ke r not several officers interfered, and secured her. Sn e ho again placed at the bar, and became more violent 0J ever, when Mr. Twyford ordered her to be put I) , c__,lcs a he would consider what further puni s h men t he woiu flict upon her in the course of the day. 4 , 0 0 1 The other prisoner was fined 10s. or t o be iml 3l - -- fourteen days.
