EVENING EDITION. parishes nailer the Gilbert corporation. It was the constant i rayer of the Poor-law Commissioners thatthehsaed endeavoured p might shes ar s e brought und e r their management. They 0 persuad e th e Noble Lord and the House that it was neces s arse in order to secure uniformity. They had not shown hat the administration of relief to the per had been in udicious or improper ; but they bad stated that , they were mistaken as to their own interests as well as the interest of those who were nod. r their care . It was no torious, however, that the administr ation of relief in the Gil be rt corporation hail given the greatest satisfaction. No wmanagetnent had been stated. They simply wished not t. tWbe interfered with by the Poor-law Commissioners, and he trusted that the House would not agree to the dissolution of these unions without the consent of the guardians. On a future occasion he should be prepared to substantiate what he bad advanced in favour of these unions, and to convince the House of the impropriety of sanctioning any interference with them by the Poor-law Commissioners. Mr. W. A T TWOOD rose and said, he was one of those who intended to vote against the second reading of the Bill, and, therefore, came under the special reprobation of the Noble Lord the Member for Northumberland. It was a re markable circumstance, that scarcely a single Member had ex pressed his opinion in support of the Bill, who had not said that he looked forward to amendments and ameliorations. He would ask what hope there was of amendments and ameliora tions after the tone which had been adopted by the Noble Lord the Member for Northumberland? Upon all occasions when this subject was discussed, their had conic forward a number of Honourable Members declaring, that upon many points they disapproved both of the principle of the Act and of the manner in which it h a d b een carried into effect. But they stated at the same time that they did not intend to offer any opposition to the measure, because they hoped that in con sequence of the discussions that would take place in that House the severity of the Bill would be mitigated. Now, he asked Hou. Members whether from the moment that those discus slope first took place there had been introduced into the conduct of the Commissioners any one amelioration; whether, instead of administering its provisions with greater mildness they had not given unequivocal proofs of their determination to add to the severity of the Bill, and to carry it into operation with all the harshness it would allow. When the Noble Lord (the Member for Northumberland) taunted Members who opposed this Bill, by asking if there were any of them who were ready to support the old system, he (Mr. Attwood) would throw back the taunt, and ask if there were any Members of that House who would support this Bill without amendment? He would ask whether, if the Bill were presented to the House without any hope of amendment or mitigation, it would have that majority in its favour which he feared he would be condemned to witness on that occasion ? If they referred to the Report, they would find a determination to carry into effect all the regulations upon which the disap probation of the Committee had been most unequivocally ex pressed. The Committee had proposed to shorten and limit the powers of the Commissioners. ( Hear, hear, hem.) They recommended that there should be an ame lioration of the mode in which the law was administered, and that many modifications should take place in the law itself. None of these recommendations were attended to by the Noble Lord in bringing in the Bill. There was no hope of amelio ration by allowing the Bill to proceed to a Committee, and he hoped that the House would not allow itself to be deluded by the expectation of improvement, to consent to the second read ing of the Bill. Sir EDWARD FILMER wished to give the reasons by which he was influenced in deciding that he should not vote either upon the original motion or upon the amendment that had been moved.—(Cries of " Divide, divide.") He could not oppose the motion which professed to be for the amendment of an Act which he believed to require amendment. But on looking into the Bill, he found that itrwas not an amel ora tion of the present law.—(Divide, divide.) He was favourable to the allowance of relief out of doors to persons .labouring under temporary distress, and capable, when opportunity offered, of resuming their industrious habits, and maintaining themselves without any burden to the parish.—(Divide, divide. ) He believed that the law required amendment, he could not vote against the second reading of the Bill, nor could he vote for the motion of the Noble Lord, because he was satisfied the Bill would not effect the object professed. Mr. LANGDALE, who rose amidst loud cries of " Divide," said he would not trespass on the House, if it had not been for the course which he had taken in respect to this Bill. He had been a Member of a Committee which agreed to a strong resolution en the subject of permitting the inmates of work houses to attend divine worship on the Sabbath. He was desirous that Members of the Established Church shout] be permitted to attend to the service of their Church on that day. But he was also desirous that persons of other religious persuasions should have the same facilities afforded them, and he took that opportunity of expressing his determination to press for the in troduction of a provision in this Bill for that purpose. Being satisfied of the general utility of the measure he should vote for the second reading.--( Cries of " Divide, dii ide. ) Mr. JAMES said it was not on his own account but on ac. count of those whom he had the honour to represent, that he was desirous to address the House, in a few words upon this question. In his county the New Poor-law had worked most beneficially, and the unpopularity with which it had been at first received had entirely disappeared.—( Cries of 44 Oh," and " Divide, divide, divide.") It had been the custom of that county to give out-door relief to able-bodied labourers in the shape of money, clothing, and medical attendance to an extent which the rates by no means justified—(Hear.) There was a system of let ting oat the poor to the lowest bidder, at what was called a Dutch auction, and persons were known to receive them so low as 15d. a week per head. It was well to talk about torture and starvation, but what greater system of torture could there be than that which prevailed under the old Poor-law ? Under the present system the evils which were formerly so glaring were almost entirely remedied. The aged, the sick, and the indigent poor were better taken care of, and their children were better educated.—(Oh, and divide.) He did not mean to contend that the measure was perfect; it had improved the comforts of the poor, and had promoted in many ways their in terest. A large number of habitual paupers had been converted into industrious labourers. A reduction of from 25 to 40 per cent. in the parish expenditure had been effected—Divide, divide.) He thought the Bill good and useful to the honest and industrious, who ought not to be taxed for the support of the idle and , profligate.—(Divide, divide. ) Mr. s FIELDEN complained of the Report of the Committee of last - year, which he contended was a packed awl partial Co.umittee. It was proved to demonstration before that Committee that the rates of labour were not raised by the operation of the new Poor-law. Now if the wages of labourers were depressed instead of raised, the law must be an unjust one, and would bring destruction en its framers. He• should cer tainly vote for the amendment of the Hon. Member, and would throw all the obstacles in his power in the way of the passing of such a measure.—(Cries of " Question.") Lord J. RUSSELL said after the statements of the Hon. Member for Finsbury, who had stated that the Bill was founded of a ravage and ferocious principle, and after the stateme it of the Hon. Member for Oldham, who wished for an inquiry into the rate of wages, but would oppose the measure in every shoe, arid on every occasion, where there was so much of declam and so littleenf argument, he must be permitted to r words before the House went to a di v i s i on. The non4Yllaleienw her for Sussex had disput e d hi s ( L ord. sell's) assertion that the Bill was found' on Rus - - n the 431 of Elizabeth, and had quoted BlacketeSne on that point, but with every res p ec t for that, high le; al authority he ( Lord Joh n R usse ll) ma i ntained that such * was the fact. He held th e same princieele as the law of Elizabeth, that with regard to the old, the in - firm, and the helpless, relief was to be given by the State . ; and that with regard to the able bodied, relief was also 'to be given ; but in that case they were to ascertain whether destitution existed or not. The statute of Elizabeth poisated out the mode in which that was to be done, and th.e law was applicable to the state of society which then existed. The population was wandering and unset tled, and the wool of England was sent into Ger many to be manufactured. Now, the circumstances of the present times being extremely different, the same tests of destitution could not be applied in the present day. The very same principle had also been acted upon, in 1795, by the Duke of Wellington ' when in command in India, i n th e case of a famin e . O n that occasion the very same principles, as nearly as possible, were acted upon as were followed out by the Poor-law Commissioners in framing the present measure. Ile directed that, in all cases of great suffering and distress, relief was to be administered, and his officers carried these in structions into effect. They were divided into two classes— those who were able, and those who were unable to work ; and in the former case the parties were to be taken into hospital, and to undergo the discipline of that establishment. It had been said by the Hon. Member opposite (Mr. Darby) that the test of hard labour out of tl e workhouse was a better one than that recommended by the Commissioners, but that was a question which was in a great measure to be ascertained by ex perience, and, looking at it merely theoretically, and as the arguments had been applied, he should say that it was a test likely to be fully equal to that of the woikhouse test. Experience, however, was the °tinr way, and the opinions of men best acquainted with the subject was in favour of the pre sent system, and their evidence had produced such an effect upon the Commissioners that they had adopted the suggestion. 'I he first question the House had to consider was as to the re lief to be given to the destitute, make r and the ne x t was w h et h er they could, in givi ng t h at relief, great relax a ti on i n th e mode. In the whole co urse of the discussionY of that night, though he had heard many hard terms applied, yet he had h ear d no suggestion of a p ract i cal nature which could adopt w ith a conviction that it wou ld nut brine them he kto the o ld state of thi ngs . Th e H on. M ember for thoughtKeua , in seasons of great severity the poor might be relieved in '.heir own houses, but if th e ru l e was once broken in • upon he should be glad to know where th e li ne was to be drawn, and 4iley would hare the plea of destituti on put forward thefolloa follow ing year, although there might be less se ver i ty in the season m, and the evils of the old system would again ret urn upon theoni: He argued with the Noble Lord the Member for Northum i)erland that there was great danger of such a result. He would pass over the general idleness and demoralization generated by the old system. In the original Report on that 'ystem, which received the sanction of the Bishop of London; .he Bishop of Chester, and many other Members of that Com mission of Inquiry, who were not in the present Commission, various cases were stated in which the labourers there men tioned what wore their own views on the subjeet. The Noble Lord here proceeded to read several extracts front the Report, confirming his views of the subject, and went on to say, that under the old system the honest and industrious labourer become broken-hearted. lie (Lord John Russell) asked them then not to revive that system. He be lieved that the greatest benefit they could confer on English labourers, would be to give them the greatest facility that could be possibly conferred by any law, to enable them to obtain em ployment for themselves. The contract between the labourer sad the employer was a fair one—it was a fair exchange, and the labourer felt himself independent. Every law then which enabled the labourer in this country to earn wages and obtain more employment —to find new sources of employment, and to obtain those situations which he looked to —every such law was useful; hut, on the contrary, every end eavour t h a would have f or it s object to reduce the labourer to a it state of d e p en d ence, they might depend upon , that though they might obtain some popularity by such an e ndeavour—althoueh it to would be lauded by many a s showing eat benevolence—they would treat be, in fact, but destroyi ng the ,ndependeece of the labourer.— ( Hear, hear.) If they wou ld weaken his strength, and under mine his moral force, that wa s th e course for thempursue. They would be laying the found a ti on of an overgrows lation, whom the law could not restrain—whom even refinglenn would be hardly able to awe into obedience —and they would find that they were most certainly ruining the foundatio n of society.—(Hear, hear.) He would not now, on the occasion of the second reading, discuss the details of the measure. H e would be extremely sorry to see the House adopt the sug. gestion of the Honourable Gentleman of limiting the power of the Commissioners to five years. It was quite impossible their conduct should be subject to much real blame without the Ministers of the Crown being able to prevent the recurrence of such conduct. But on the other hand, if the House weakened their authority, they would give strength to those who were opposeel to the law, and spread reports that it was no use yet awhile to obey their orders, but . put off obedi ence f rom year to year, saying in a little while they eha 11 see the law repealed—that there is universal dissatisfaction f i so ne reason - ethe- -'son they do not give ; and ill be sure to occasion the It was for the wisdom of ion of the Commission, much strengthened, and s not unduly increased He thanked the House for listened to the subject, and s su ne reason or other, which reaso that that universal disoktisf ien will repeal IMO ear. ) that II ' • durat but h ra: 't - be the ,po •._equat . t.

CUSTOMS DUTIES. Mr. LAI3OUCH ERE postponed the Corn rniVee on Customs Dutie, until Friday next, wheel he hoped to be able to bring it forward at an early hour. Mr. BERNAL brought up the Report of the Committee of Supply. After a few words from Mr. BERRIES, The resolutions were agreed to. and the Committee of Ways and Means was fixed for Wednesday. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for Ireland obtained leave to bring in a bill to abolish arrest in personal actions cdm meneed by process of subpoena at the Law Side of the Court of Exchequer in Ireland. The Learned Gentleman also ob tained leave to bring in a Bill to facilitate the recovery of arrears of Tithe Composition in Ireland, vested in her Ma jesty under an Act passed in the Session of Parliament holden in the Ist and 2d years of the reign of her present Majesty, intituled, " An Act to Abolish Compositions for Tithes in Ire land, and to substitute Rent-charges in lieu thereof." The ATTORNEY-GENERAL brought in the Adminis tration of Justice Bill, which was road a first, and ordered to be read a second time on Monday. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at One o'Clock. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION (From the P oles and Proceedings of Me House of Commons. MONDAY, FEB. 8.

ALBANS.--The nomination for this borough took place yesterday s when Lord Listowel, the Liberal candidate, was deck red to have the show of hands in his favour. A poll, of course, was demanded on behalf of Mr. Cabbell. Tht ':Marquis Camden last week paid into the Exch-equer the sum of twenty-four thousand and fifty Pr•ands one shilling, which sum, added to former payments by tbo late Marquis, forms an aggregate of 366,1161. 14s. freely surrendered to the State. UNEQUAL TAXATION. -- Tile railway pro prietors pay one-eighth of a penny per mile, the stage coach proprietors one-fourth, and the postmasters three fourths of a penny for every passenger they carry—in other words, the individual coachmaster is taxed twice as heavily, and the individual postmaster six times as heavily, as the great joint-stock companies. THE ARMY.—During the last two years there have been thirty-seven promotions from the ranks. A correspondent of the Naral and Military Gazette com plains that none have been promoted from the Ordnance corps, in which there are a great number steady, intelli gent men. The commissions have been given chiefly to Sergeant-Majors and Colour-Sergeants. Four common Sergeants are in the list of promotions. MURDER AT IioRFIELD. -- Since the boy Budge has been conveyed to Gloucester, his coat has been examined, and it is now discovered that it contains a great many distinct spots of blood which arc not to be mistaken : the sleeves are particularly marked, and the lining of one of them has been torn out: the lining of the pocket of his trousers was also bloedy.—Bristol Times. Yesterday morning, at a (palter before six o'clock, an explosion took place at the extensive distillery belong inu to Messrs. Seeger and Evans, situate at Milbank, Westminster. It appears that the large still became over charged and exploded, forcing off the extensive roof of the still-house ; a quantity of spirits became ignited, and the utmost alarm prevailed for the safety of the extensive building and stock. The fire-engines, with a large body of the brigade-men, were promptly in attendance, and by great exertions succeeded in arresting the progress of the flames. Considerable damage has been sustained to the building, but fortunately not any person received injury. TIIE HABERDASHERS' LECTURESHIP.—The , election for the lectureship of the Haberdashers' Company took place yesterday morning, when at the close of the troll the numbers were—The Rev. Mr. Dale, 21; the Rev. Mr. Gurney, 15 : majority fur Mr. Dale, 6 A COOL Excusk.—A gentleman was, the other day, looking attentively at some amusing caricatures, in the window of a print-shop, when, on a sudden, ho felt some one at his pocket. As there was only one person standing near him, he instantly turned round upon him, and, looking him full in the face, said, " Your band, S:r, was in my pocket 1" " Was it, Sir ?" the other very calmly replied ; " I really beg your pardon if it was; but the weather is so very cold, one is glad to put one's hands, anywhere !" RAM3GATE, FEB. 7, WIND E.N.E., STRONG GALE AND HARD FROST.-At half past ten a.m., his Ma jesty the King of Belgium and suite landed here from her Mnjesty's packet Widgeon, from o.tend, which place they left about a quarter-past three o'clock this morning, but were nearly prevented from getting to sea by the ice.

A message was brought down to the Lords from her MAJESTY by Lord MELBOURNE, re questing their Lordships to enable her MAJESTY to make some provision for Lord KEANE on ac count of his great services in India. The message is to be taken into consideration to-day. Lord REDESDA LE'S Copyhold Commutation and Enfranchisement Bill was read a second time. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY presented a peti- Lon from the Earl of CARDIGAN to have Sir W. FOLLETT, Mr. Sergeant WRANGHAM, and Mr. ADOLPHUS, as his Counsel. The Noble Earl also presented another Report from the Committee on Precedents, recommend ing that th e E ar l of CARDIGAN should ' be allowed to sit on a stool at the bar uncovered and without professional four Ti e ticketsEarl a rl his robes at the trial, . and that he be allowed his a f u :i fl r ismelosu. friends, and admission for case of Mr. M‘LEon authorities of N N T I CASHEL referred to the New ir, v )rk io has been seized by the insurrection. said, a T l American m , and imprisoned on a The i n Noble itheinee r( 1, , charge rica o i f i steam-boat Caroline, d concerned, iau hl f au b r e i c n a g us t e he li c e a l n v a a: destruction c s ti t o a n ted of ti t l l a ie t had s understood rr that Mr. M LEOD was not one he of the party concerned in capturing destroy ing the Caroline. He inquired and MELBOURNE whether Government of Viscount had received any information on the subject? Viscdunt MELBOURNE relied that the Go vernment had received information of . M'Lron's arrest; and that Mr. F ox 7 our Mi nister at Washinkcton, had demanded his libera tion. The American Government ep i r 1* ed that i t had no power to order his liberation, as he wa s in the hands of the authorities of New York. The Noble Viscount declined to state what steps her Majesty's Government meant to take, but l ie assured their Lordships that everything should be done to save the life of a British subject, and up hold the honour of the nation. Their Lordships adjourned. In the Commons Mr. SMYTHE for Canterbury, ,00k his seat. Our former announcement that he had taken his seat at the same time as Mr. GLAD STONE was premature. A new writ was issued ,for Richmo n d (York shire) in the room of Mr. SPEIRS, accepting the Chiltern Hundreds. Several petitions were presented, chiefly against the New Poor-law. Sir F. BURDETT gave notice that 11.• would in a Committee of Sup - ply, move that a statue be erected to Sir S. SMITH at the public expeuse. Lord J. RUSSELL brought down to the House a message similar to that brought down to the Lords, relative to Lord KEANE. It is to be taken into consideration to-day. Lord STANLEY gave a neat and succinct his tory of the transaction concerning the Caroline, in which he stated that the question was still the subject of negotiations between the two countries, that the Caroline had been destroyed by the orders of our Government, and that Mr.M'LEOD, a Sheriff of one of the counties of Canada, was not actually present at the destruction of the Caroline, though his life wasat this moment, per haps, in jeopardy. The Noble Lord asked Lord PALMERSTON, as the negotiations on the subject had commenced in June 1838, whether lie would lay on the table the correspondence relative to the destruction of the Caroline, on the night of Dec. 20, 1837—whether the Noble Lord had received the despatches from Mr. Fox r3ferred to in recent accounts from the United States-- whether the Government had taken any, and what steps, to protect Mr. M'LEOD, and whether the Noble Lord would lay all the correspondence on the table ? Lord PALMERSTON admitted that Lord STAN LEY had handled the subject delicately and cor rectly, but stated that, pending the negotiations, he thought it not expedient to lay the correspon dence on the table, but it should appear when ever the affair was closed. Her MAJESTY'S Government, the Noble Lord said, had received despatches from Mr. Fox ; and such of them as had already been made public through the Ame rican papers he had no objection to produce, though lie considered it contrary to all rule to lay papers on the table concerning a negotiation while it was in progress. The Noble Lord also confirmed Lord STANLEY'S statement that Mr. M'LEOD was not present at the capture of the Caroline. He further stated that the American Government had elected to treat this matter as one concerning the two Governments, and therefore was debarred from treating it as an offence against its laws. The Noble Lord further stated that instructions had been sent to Mr. Fox, in anticipation of a simi lar case, eighteen months ago; that it would send further instructions, conformably to its duty, but lie was not prepared to state what they would be. In reply to Mr. HumE, Lord PALMERSTON added that the American Government had dis avowed the acts of the Americans who invaded the Canadas, and left them, therefore, to be dealt with by our authorities. He repeated that the American Government had treated this as a question between the Governments, and was not at liberty, therefore, till the transaction was dis avowed by our Government, to change its ground, and treat it on a different principle. The American Minister had been ordered not to press the matter. In reply to Sir R. PEEL, Lord J. RUSSELL said that he had understood that officers of her MAJESTY'S navy and army were employed at the destruction of the Caroline—that some of them were wounded, but he had not heard, as the Right Hon. Baronet implied, that some of them had received pensions on account of their wounds. Sir R. PEEL rose to put a question about Per sia, and in the midst of it was interrupted by Mr. O'CoxNELL, who said, amidst great cheering, that Mr. M'LEOD'S life was at stake, and that whether he were right or wrong, the House ought to declare that it would assist the Govern ment in preserving him. Mr. O'BRIEN would have followed on the same subject, .but the SPEAKER insisted on hearing Sir R. PEEL, and the affair of Mr. IVI'LEon was at an end. In answer to the Right Hon. Baronet, Lord PALMERSTON stated that on account of individuals the satisfaction tendered by Persia had been ac cepted, but that there were still some points about territory in dispute. He would lay the communications before the House. The subject was dropped. Lord STANLEY'S Irish Registration Bill was read a first time, and appointed to be read a se cond time on the 24th inst. On the question that the Poor-law Commis sioners Continuance Bill be read a second time, Mr. D'IsRA ELI opposed the motion. He described the New Poor-law as a great social revolution. There was nothing of any value in our social con dition for which we were indebted to Govern ment, but it had destroyed the parochial consti tution of England for a sordid consideration. In two years he computed that the expense of the poor would be as great as it was two years before the present law came into operation. He ob jected to the Poor-law because it immured po verty in a prison, and compelled it to submit to treatment fit only for criminals, and concluded by moving to read the Bill a second time in six months. Mr. WAKLEY seconded the motion, and in a long speech enforced very ably hi► objections to the Poor-law. He contended that the new law had made a very small saving ; that it had passed on false statements; that the poor -rates had not increased under the old law in proportion to the increase in the population, and the wealth of the country; and that the present law was harsh and cruel, and was and would be attended with the most frighful consequences. Mr. G. KNIGHT and Mr. BUCK supported the second reading, and stated that they should expect alterations in Committee. Mr. MUNTZ and Mr. LIDDELL supported the amendment, the latter gentleman objecting chiefly to the length of time it was proposed to continue the Commission. Sir R. PEEL spoke in favour of the second reading. He reminded the House of the con dition of the labourers before the present Poor law was passed. He contended that the present scale of wages proved nothing unless that was brought home to the Poor-law. He reserved to himself the right of opposing clauses of the Bill. Ite objected to the long pe riod for which the Commission was to be established, and lie disliked attaching burial grounds to workhouses, for the poor preferred to be buried in consecrated ground, on which point the Right Hon. Baronet was. elaborately great and lengthy. He wished the unions also not to be enlarged. He professed himself an enemy to abuses, and desirous to consult the feelings of the poor. Mr. DUNCOMBE objected to the Bill that would repeal all the local Acts for the govern. meat of the poor of the metropolis. Mr. Fox MAULS defended at some length the conduct of the Commissioners. Sir EDWARD KNATCHBULL, while he pointed out one grievous effect of the law during this severe weather at Ashford, said he would support the second reading of the Bill, but thought its pi °visions, to s ome o f w hi c h h e was opposed, pre ferring that the Commissioners should be con tinued for only three years, would best be dis cussed in Committee. Viscount HowicK cordially approved of the Act of 1834, and strenuously supported the Bill. Captain PECHELL objected to the Bill that it contained a clause to - bring GILBERT'S unions under the Poor-law Commissioners. Mr. W. ATTWOOD complained of the severity of the law, and the refusal of all amendment. He despaired of introducing any amendment in Committee, and he should vote against the se cond reading. Sir E. FILMER believed the law required amendment, but that the Bill would not effect what was necessary; he, therefore, should not vote for either the second reading or the amend ment. Mr. LANGDALE would vote for the second reading, but would in the Committee take means to procure for the members of every religious persuasion the same facilities for the exercise of their religion. Mr. H. JAMES said the new law had worked well in Cumberland, and the poor were better taken care of than when they were put up to a Dutch auction. Mr. FIELDEN of course opposed the second reading, and objected to the Committee of last year that it was partial. Lord JOHN RUSSELL wound up the debate, and defended the law against the obsertations of Mr. WAX LET. He contended that the efficiency of the Commission wodilVe impaired by limiting its duration to five or three years. The House supported the NOble Lord's views. On a divi sion, '2Ol were for the second reading and 54 against it. Mr. \VAKLEY gave notice that on going into Committee, he would move to divide the Bill into two parts. The Committee on the Customs Act, to take into consideration the d u ty on E a st India Rum, was postponed till Friday. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for Ireland obtained leave to bring in a Bill to abolish arrest in per sonal acti ons (Ireland) ; and a Bill to facilitate the recovery of Tithe Composition Arrear (Ireland). The Administration o f Justice Bill was brought , n . by the A TTORNEY-GENERAL, and read a tint une.—The House sat till One o'Clock. Th- )f .te part of Mr. O'Co r ---q1 77 1 ; /J 2 B speech. on Lord MORPETII 7 B Bill which was most effective) was that in which he reminded the House that the country might be plunged in war, and might want the assistance of Ireland. The discussion in the House of Commons last night, in reference to Mr. M'LEOD, must have awakened, we appre hend anxieties that have long been slumbering. The language of Lord PALMERSTON appeared to us of ominous import. Lord STANLEY and the Orangremen may be assured that the em pire cannot afford just now to throw Ire land into rebellion. Mr. O'CONNELL struck the right string when he made the fears of English gentlemen vibrate, and we are not sure that a similar string, were there a master hand to touch it, might not be made to vibrate to the very heart of England. Here there is at least as much, we believe there is great deal more, political discontent than in Ireland, though it may want an English O'CONNELL or a modern `VAT TYLER, to organize it into a power formid able to the Government. Look, says Mr. MARSHALL, in an excellent letter to Earl FITZWILLIAM, published in the Leeds Times— Look at the condition of the agricultural labourer : enter his bare cottage ; iee him striving to maintain himself and family on the pittance of seven shillings a week. Consider what are his sad prospects in life, on the very verge of absolute death by hunger ; a single step, if so much, out of the poor-house no hopes of amendment, of better or happier days ;—as has been his youth, so will be his comfortless old age, Look again at the crowded streets of our great manufacturing towns, peruse the various statistic accounts by impartial ob servers of the terrible destitution, the feerful want, disease, de- gradation, misery, physical and moral, in every shape, that reigns there. Look at the wan and haggard faces of the work people that come into our Courts of Justice, that attend at our public meetings. See how the very race of Englishmen is dwindling down and degenerating under the effects of the un remitting labour, the insufficient and unwholesome food that their country's laws allow them to enjoy. Then adverting to the growth of democracy in Europe, the onward movement of. which is irre sistible, he says— .. • Stand aloof from it with unmanly fear and suspicion, refuse to speak to it or understand it, treat it with mixed hostility, contempt, and dread ; then expect war, and the result, a little sooner or a little later, that aristocracy and monarchy, with hi deous confusion and fierce violence,will be overwhelmed and swept away. Aye, stand aloof from it nobles, deride it To ries, go on plundering it landlords, tell it to be patient with starvation, as the work of GoD, priests, but do not expect its aid when you get involved in difficulties and war. When that time comes, and the Tory Press seem anxious to hasten it on, then will the Chartists, and all the half starved, openly plundered, and discontented mil lions arise in their might, then iron-hearted and iron-headed leaders will not be wanted, and then the priests and the landlords, the Tories and the nobles, will cry out for help, and there will be none to save them. Then will they wish, but wish in vain, that they had been righteous, just, and honest, that they had made timely con cessions to the demands of the multitude, and treated them like equal and free men. Depend on it, whenever a foreign war is forced on Eng gland, a civil, or rather, a servile war will be its accompaniment, unless justice be done to the masses, and those who will not now share the franchise, or abstain from making laws to plunder the people, will then have to contend for their property and their lives. Either the disfran chised and injured multitude, if they receive no redress, must be reduced to complete slavery, and kept in awe by whips and swords, or they will bring about, as Mr. MARSHALL says, a vio lent revolution. May GOD inspire the hearts of the aristocracy with fear now, and make them speedily do justice, in order to save them from destruction. The nomination for East Surrey took place yesterday, and the show of hands was triumph antly in thvour of Mr. ALCOCK. In the evening a meeting of that gentleman's friends was held, and the reports from several quarters were most encouraging. A considerable degree of enthu siasm prevails throughout the county, and in fluential men are everywhere exerting them selves to secure Mr. ALCOCK'S return. Mr. AL COCK cordially seconds the efforts of his friends, and has announced his determination to give the electors of Surrey a full and fair opportunity of recording their votes. It will be their business to take advantage of it, and elect him. We trust they will. These are critical times. We have too many youngsters in the House of Com mons. The public needs the services of mature well-informed men, and the electors of Surrey will not be true to themselves if they do not pre fer Mr. ALCOCK to Mr. ANTROBUS. Copies of treaties between her Majesty's Go vernment and the Argentine Confederation and the Republic of Hayti, for the suppression of the Slave Trade have been presented to both Houses of Parliament. The zeal with which the Govern ment labours to unite the civilized world against this infamous and inhuman traffic is deserving of the highest praise; but we have doubts whether it ever can be suppressed while domestic slavery exists. When France, Spain, and Portugal have abolished slavery in their colonies, and when domestic slavery is abolished in . the United States, then, indeed, we may hope to realize the objects of the great and good men who devoted their lives to the enfranchisement of the coloured race. To prevent entirely the exportation of slaves from Africa, there must be no soil to re ceive a human being in a state of bondage. We can only utterly root out the traffic in slaves by the abolition of domestic slavery, and this will only be accomplished by it being proved to the satisfaction of slave-holding States that free la bour s cheaper, and consequently productive of more profit, than slave labour. This proof— better than a thousand abstract arguments on the injustice of depriving men of their liberty by brute force—England, we trust, will, be soon in condition to supply from the example of her own colonies. The Paris Journals of Saturday and Sunday have been received. On Friday the Chamber of Deputies was engaged with the Customs' Bill. In the course of the debate M. VICTOR GRANDIN had the peculiar French !mob patriotism, and the French mob refinement of taste to oppose all commercial intercourse with England, alleging that if a treaty was concluded with us, a repeti tion might be expected of our conduct towards China, to whom we say, " Receive our opium or we will murder you. Take your choice ; the poniard or the poison." The Constitutionnel and the Journal des Debuts do not report these ex pressions, which we regret to add called forth no manifestation of disgust in the Chamber, but they figure very distinctly in the report of the debate which appears in the National of Saturday. The man who could utter them after the perusal of the first night's debate in the British Parliament, mustbe too contemptible for serious notice on this side of the Channel. We leave this man and his. speech to the chastisement of the Journal des Debuts, and the reflections which every honour able mind in France must make upon an out rage of all decency, truth, and international good feeling. The Journal des Debats of Sunday publishes the following letter, addressed by Admiral STOPFORD to the Governor• of Malta dated the 14th of January : " Sir,-1 have the honour to make known to you that Mehemet Ali, having restored the Ottoman fleet, recalled his army from Syria, and accepted all the conditions which the Sultan had: offered him ; the port of Alexandria and the coast of Syria are no longer exposed to any hostility on the part of the Sultan or his Allies. (Signed) " ROBERT STOPFORD." The Moniteur Parisien denies that there is any truth in the report that Marshal SOULT wanted to get rid of MM. GulzoT, UUMANN, and MAR TIN du NORD. The harmony of the Cabinet is undisturbed and complete. _ The following - paragraph appears in the Na tional of Saturday :- 011 Friday morning M. Montour, proprietor of the France, and M. Lubis, the principal editor of the same journal, were arrested at their dwelling-houses, and after having been examined before M. Justice Jourdain, they were committed to the prison of St. Pelagie, on a charge of forgery. A private letter from Naples, dated Jan. 29, contains the following passage " A frightful land-slip occurred in the commune of Gragnano, aeari Castellamare, about 14 miles from this city, on the night of Friday, the 22d instant, when the inhabitants, who were almost entirely agricultural labour ers, were in bed. That part of this p o p u l ous commune which lies nearest the mountain which overhangs it, was suddenly overwhelmed, and 113 persons perished in one grave. The King immediately sent a large body of pioneers, and went himself to superintend their work, As yet only 65 bodies have been dug ont, and five persons were found still alive, who, although in great danger, may yet be recovered." The Venus frigate and the Veloco steamer sailed on the 1 2. d from Brest for Toulon. The Suabian Mercury, under date the 28th ult., states the Austrian army was on its full war footing. At a mo ment's notice the Austrian Government could bring into the field 300,000 men and 600 pieces of cannon. The Cologne Gazette publishes a letter from Frankfort, stating that the Austrian Government was about to borrow 40.000,000 or 50,000,000 florins of the houses of Roths child and Bethmann. The Malta Times of the 28th of January says— " Soliman Paella has arrived at Cairo, with all the artillery of the army of Syria, 8,000 cavalry, and 8,000 ii friary. " Ibrahim Pacha was at Jaffa, where the Viceroy's ' steamer, the Nile, was to convoy him to Alexandria." We hear th at t h e nomination of General Bcrthon, aide de-camp to the King, to thri - post of Chief of the Staff of the Army of Africa, has just been signed by the King. We have frequently remarked that England, always so ready to complain of what it calls the spirit of conquest, neglects no opportunity to extend its oval influence in all parts of the globe. At this moment it is towards central Africa that it directs its investigation, and ❑o doubt w( shall soon sec her established there. The following details are given by a London Jeurnat. respecting the expedition preparing for the Niger, of which we have already spoken —( Here follows a quotation which has already appeared in The Sun.) What io the meantime arc we doing ? Are we taking advantage of the position of Constantino to establish a communication with Timbuctoo, which may become the route of a caravan as important, perhaps, as that of India? No ; we shall wait till the English have obtained a pre ponderance in these countries and exclude us from them, when we might have anticipated them. A letter from Luneville, of the Ist of February, says it is decided that the Duke of Nemours is to go to Africa, as soon as he recovers from the effects of a violent sore throat, but will return to Paris, and proceed to Toulon as soon as General Bugeaud has re-organised the army of Africa. The Duke of Aumale will command two of these detached battalions, and perhaps lead the vanguard in the division commanded by his brother. Numbers of sailors have passed through Paris to-day, on their way to Toulon, Brest, and Cherbourg.—Le Cont. coerce. Beussu.s,rFßß. 6 —His Royal Highness the reigning Duke of Saxe Coburg arrived at Brussels from Liege to. day by a special train. Some of his Majesty's carriages were sent the day before yesterday to Liege to fetch his Royal Highness, who was received at the station by the officers of his Majesty's household. His Highness will pass the night here. The King and the Prince of Saxe Coburg have gone to Ostend to-day by the railway. He will set out this even ing for London, where he will spend a fortnight. A letter from Maastricht of the 3d inst. says, " that n letter from the Hague mentions the nomination of Mr. Brandes as: Clerk to the Provincial Assembly of Limburg as very probable. The Maestricht Journal says, it hopes the statement is unfounded, because this nomination would not be agreeable in Limburg. BERLIN, FEB. 3.—Major-General Von Hess has arrived here from Vienna.—Prussian State Gazette. QUEEN CHRISTINA.-Our private letters from Naples of the 25th ult., deny that the King had sent an invita tion to his sister, Queen Christina, to come to Naples. It appears, on the contrary, that his Majesty had Notified to the ex-Regent of Spain, not to presume to appear at his Court, and had expressly forbidden the Dowager- Queen going to Rome on a visit to her daughter. Oar corres spondent adds, that the Roman Court, usually so gallant towards ladies, received Queen Christina with much cool ness, notwithstanding the pressing recommendation of King Louis Philippe, and the officious interference of his representative at the Vatican.
