EVENING EDITION in a satisfactory state.—( Loud- cheers.) He should like to see the franchise better defined, sill stripped of those legal subtleties with which it was at present clothed. —(Cheers.) He did not like to see a man who had acted con sistently. hrovght up and bullied and badgered in the llegis tration Court, in order that he might assert his rights.—(Great cheering.) Then, with respect to the question of the Poor laws—he was prepared to discuss that question fairly and. openly. He had nester voted for the Poor-laws as they at pre sent existed, but he wished those who opposed the present Peor-laws to reflect upon the evils of the old system. He did not say that the new Poor-law had answered all the ob jects intended. It was brought lit as an experiment for the purpose of trying a new system. It might or it might not have answered the purposes intended ; but if he were returned as their representative, he should go into Parliament prepared to discuss the question and prepared also to vote against every clause in the Poor-law Bill which he thought unnecessarily harsh and severe. He now came to the question upon which he felt that he should be more readily heard—he alluded to the finances of the country. The Go vernment had been very much attacked on this subject, but it should be recollected that for the good of the people Minis ters had sacrificed millions.—(Cheers.) As an instance of that he might refer to the Post-office ; and then the expenses of our conquests in Syria were not to be kept out of view. In these circumstances what did the Chancellor of the Exche quer do? Did he come down to the Haute of Cm - smote.% and state that lie was prepared to propose a property tax (Cheers.) Did he come down and state that it was his hats-in tim, to place fresh burdens upon the people? No suet, thing. He came down prepared to propose the reduction of meatus:l. —(Cheers.) Was that proposition hailed with "Joy is the House of Commons ? No! it met with the most, tremendous opposition. The first -part of the Chaecellor of the Excle quer's project was to take off some pa .t of One duty on sugar. tie told the House that the peo',,te of Brazils and Cuba were harshly used, and that they ,had expressed their deter rninaion that if this country laid. a duty of 130 per cent. en their sugar, that they would lay a similar impost open all manufactures of this country. As to the timber duties he ha-I only a few words to say. He was prepared to sedate the duties on timber to the. Canadian level.—(Cheers.) He n tv came to the question of the Corn-laws, and upon that subject it was hardly necessary for him to state that he had voted with Mr. Villiers in every motion he had made on that subject.— (Cheers.) Corn-laws wi re inteselueed into England in the days of Edward she Third ; and lucking hack at tlose times it would be found that the price rif corn in this country was much less than it was on the Continent, and in ordet to prevent foreigners from taking the cows of this coun t r y t h e Parlia ment, in the reign el Edward the .Third, passed the Act to which he had referrel From that time down to the present various !eel ilative enactments had been introduced ure if they came dews: to the time of George the Third, and during that reign it wee stated by the agrsculturalists that the low price of corn was lea ins to their ruin, and then Ministers of that day Se troduceil a I rophsition into Parliament ef the most unexampled chat a.sten Be r ame to Parliament sue propesed bv. ais Act of the Legislature to steatiy the prices of corn. Snvh an Act of folly was met, as it ought to have been, by the results rhii la followed. The Act was passed in 1791, and between :791 and 1801 there was the greatest fluctuation in the price of corn, which was at one. time sds., and at another 1555. a quarter. Cheers. ) Then came the principle of the sliding , seats, upon ithich the leader of the Tory party had deduced ' he would !eke his stand. It was an odd thing fur such at man to say that hs woutd take a sliding and slip ; ery thing to stand upon.--(Cheers Lad laughter.) lie would taw twine to a point with eespect to the Corn-laws which was mere nearly connecte S with that city. There was a time when there was a mach greater influx of strangers into that city than there was at present. How, he would ask, had they been driven away irons it i IVhe because they found that the price of provisions on the Condsent was but half what it was in this country. Did any one thine that a man would le .ve the land of his na tivity to go to distant climes, except he was forced to do o from tinting iS income was not sufficient to erecure the necessaries of life in Orb country ? The Testes and the Cerietrvatives of late had shown great anxiety to do good for the working classes. They ha.i told them, and it was one of the most im wadent asserticns he had ever heard, that if the price of corn was reduced, wages would he reduced also. Was that the fact ?—( Cries of" Yes, yes," and " No, no.") He would unhesitatingly assert that wages were not dependent cm the Trice of corn ; all that they were dependent on was the demand of labour.--( Great cheering.) It was not denied, even by the Conservatives, that the manufactures of the country would be consider ably increased, and that increase could not take Tfat -e without *an additional dr mand for labour. —( Cheers. ) he agriculturalist said he was placed in a different situation teem other men ; that he was not dependent on the people of any conetry for his food. Was such the case ? Follow the man who made such an assertion to his breakfast, and there you would see him with his coffee arid sugar—follow him to his dinner, and there you will find a nice linen cloth on the table—you win find him shaking his pepper-box—(Laughter)— and probably you would see him windup the goon things ef this life with, perhaps, plum-pudding, and a ehtss f sherry to r eboot.—( Great laughter.) He believed hiat'he had now nearly stated all that was necessary for him. He had no doubt that he shout' be told he was an agitator, an:, his lion. Friend Mr. Roebuck, whom he had heard state that he believed the Con etitutioa of this country to be the best in the world. lie bad heard him attacked, and called; a revolutionist. Ebel been stated by the Tories that they must disunite the Liberal party 'He was sure that such would - net be the ease in Bath, because lie felt. convinced that the enlightened electors of that _city were well exam that union was strength. Such as he had stated were his sentiments upon the different questions which he had brought before the electors. He had been born and bred a Whig ; he hail been educated in Liberal principles, and his opinions were before the public. He had daring the short course of his political life been ergawed in more than one con teet, but he had never yet been beaten either in Perthshire or Southampton.—( Great cheering.) In those contests he was engaged alone—in the present he lied the advantage of having - a .gentleman associated svi h him whose abilities no one could deny. There was no man whom the Tories were so much afraid of meet ing inth s' House of Commons as his Hon. Friend whom it was in tended to pet in nomination with him. In the present contest they were engaged hand in hand, and he could only say, as far as he was concerned, that the more equal the numbers were on both sides on the day of the pull, the more honestly should he think that the people had voted.—(Great cheering.) He had now only to thank them for the kindness with which they had heard him, and to assure the electors of Bath, that if they did him the honour of returning him to Parliament, they would always find in him a steady friend.—( Great cheering.) Mr. ROEBUCK then came forwari to address the meeting, and was received with loud and enthusiastic cheering. It had often been said that the people were fickle, but he would ask those who had had personal experience of the people of Bath to say whether they had ever seen any fickleness among them ? He had known the electors of Bath now for about nine years, and after the lapse of that time, he would confess that he had seen nothing approaching to fickleness in them.—(Hear.) The people were not fickle, but they were often deceived.— ( Hear, hear.) The people of Bath. were still his friends— ( Cheers, and cries of " Yes")—and the reception he had met with since he bad lately conic among them, was highly gratify ing to his feelings. He was sure that so long as the people were dealt fairly and honourably by, they would never be unjust to their true friends. Ile was pioeil to call the peoelit of Bath his friends, arcs he was cqu,.li Freud en the presena eceasion to show thee Le deserved the's, coefidence. ten the resent oecedon he stead i.t . iweenar position. Bath, at the present time, he mieht alteeet shy repre sented the lib era l seate o f Eitel Lee. Alt th e Liberals e ere. teuding to flee Rime fete —I hey had itifferenet s sometimes, but they trait all the same noble object in view. He was there represer tang one of those opinions, and his Noble • Friend represented the other. Such was the state of the libe ral populetion of England; for he was vet going to make it a :Ministerial measure. All ha. wanted to do was to work out the cause of the people.---(Hear, hear, and cheers.) He would now ask the meeting fee a moment to run back with him a few years, and then they would understand the cond tion in which he was placed. He thought he should be able to conciliate some whom he believed to he mistaken, but who, no . doubt, thought him so. A liberal Administration hail given the the Reform Bill, and for that alone they owed them a debt of gratitude. But it had been said that they were going too fast. Now, far his own part, he did riot believe that I e could go too fast • for in England they had th e most clan eerous aristeserecy that ever ruled a country. Therefore it was that - he thought they could not go too fast. He had been thought to be crazy, and it had been stated of him that he was a revolutionist ; but he had said that the day would come when it would be said that he was right. That day had come—that banded mower had reared up its crested front, and they wet e banded together to oppose it. They were there Ii Wilting • the battle they had fought 'before.— (Cheess. ) They must fight as a united body, and there must be no tie arrelling between them. Beth must fight for Bath.— (Cheers- ) There must be no compliance ; there must he a thorough understanding en both sides. No fixing upon any man's forsehead that he is a had fellow; only let him be a Libel desiring all that you desire, responsible Government, and then you must join heart and hand. A Government 4manating friene the people is responsible to the people, and would look to the interests of the people, Such being the present condition of England, here andeveryehereh‘evhweotineldr Ask of all wh o called themselves thorough Reformers, they though ,t they would be best able to obtain a liberal and re sponsible f trovernment by union or by separation. The peo ple of Bann had, in large masses, welcomed the Noble Lord, who, he was happy to say, was to be put in nomination with himsetr, with voices high and hats in the air. He had no doubt that that Noble Lord bad not forgotten Saturday night, and it vrould be long ere he did so. If disunion did not take piece in their ranks—they were certain to gain the vic tory ; bait if separation did take place among them, let it be en the betels of those who sowed dissension, and they, he would venture to say, would not be found among the masses, for they wore with hi'm and the Noble Lord. If disunion did take place the result would be that enthusiasm would be put clown and discord raised in its place. They were ready as one man to hold out the hand of fellowship to all, and there could be no doubt whatever about either his friend or himself. They had come forward to fight the people's cause. If they were beaten, the people were beaten, and if the Tories suc ceeded, the people of Bath would suffer.—(Great cheering.) He was sure that he need say but very little as to his own opinions. The electors of Bath hnew theta all—all the world knew them. He came there again after nine years' knowledge of him, on the part of the electors of Bath. Nine years ago they liked him, and they told him that they liked him now. tie trusted that the present contest would be carried. on with perfect good humour. He was sure that it would be on the part of his Noble colleague and - himself. He was sure that, on their part, it would be carried on with truth and sincerity ; and h e could assure the electors that wherever he found an un fair proceeding during the election, he would denounce it. If they had the Ballot, as the Noble Lord had stated, they could not be terrified out of their votes ; but there not being that safeguard, tradesmen were imposed upon, and compelled to give th e i r votes where they otherwise would not. What he wished the electors to recollect was, that the Tories were not content with employing intimidation, but they were trying ; h tohtork upott the baser pas sions of the people their want s an d th e i r ver y i g norance snare they have creat e d a l . to degrade them. They were about to open, from one end of Bath to the h other, the beer shops. 4:Cheers. ) You will find many of or names c of the parties who call themselves Blues, or Tories, r se t r h Y e a Conservatives, at the ' head of Temperance Societies and societies fr: the fteOpie in the principles of the national Church ueati" of would find them go to Church with red morocco Prayer Book, irhey and on the Monday, or even on their return from Church, r they would whisper that the election was safe, for they had opened e the beer-shops.—(Cheer.) honest? Was it 'common sense ?--( Cheers. ) It was a base purpose, joined to base means, to be used .to base ends, ard, as they debauch them with drink, so they weed seil them for gold. • The two Tory candidates had claimed for themselves tweedier religious coraiderations. He would leave them to be dealt with as the electors of Bath knew Ito .v to deal With such sun. Let them manfully express their detestation of such proceed. ings. e Let them act upon it. Let them tell it to their neieh hoof', and let it be known far and wide: He thought that he need hardly trespass on their time further. He was sive that the electors knew well the battle they had to nd sure that they wfully aware of ere . e was the means they had in their Ithaitarid:oto..ye,artttonwthhe warfare, and it was a pleasing thing for there they found theirrefvr they found the people improving. ; moveni . oet . was goino.needs, and wherever the temperaece enthere they nun& Their friends... i n ehortehhay had vitt& be snee ess e e i in the and right on their side, acid were - Sui - e to ployed the moss ewers - The Tories as a party had and thaepa e s ye e elen .,P" means to carry out, thir view?, It hid hehts't (Great cheering. .3 m. e lhakYo° are her!, in Bath ?" Lord had thought fit to answer that question. All that I shall say is, that my answer is here.—(Great cheering.) " Why," it was again said, " are you in Bath again, sowing dissension ?" His answer was, " If you can show me that I am really sowing dissension—if you can show that lam standing in the way of a better man, or one more likely• to conciliate all parties, do so, and I will not stop here another hour." He, however, - could not find a man but who had stated, " If you leave us, so far from dissension being avoided, your friends will say that they had been deceived, and disunion would be inevitable." That was his answer to the qnestion.—(Cheers.) In Bath, he Lelieved, union svas of great benefit, as it would enable ti.em to'obtain good ands and good laws. He cared not by whom lie got these gezed things, but they might depend upon it, that without Lib e ral Parliament, they could not have Libe• ral i‘linisteess.—(Great cheering. ) A name was nothing, but principle was everything. Principle went a great way, and be !IrIllgb!.. that if he and his friend were long together, they vroo l .d go a little further than was expected from them at the present moment. Ile was sure that he should be among men who, when they knew what he was at, would act upon the old proverb, and say that the devil was not quite so black as they ; hought him.—(Laughter.) He had come there to tight the ha.'stles of the electors of Bath, and not that of party. They viere of the people's party, and no ether. He had never called .himself of any ' , arty but that of the people, and in proof of • that he might refer to his present deeds. He called upon any of the electors present to point out if they could a single in stance in which he had opposed civil or religious liberty. 'through his whale life he had advocated the cause of freedom in every sense of the word. No man had a more humble opinion of himself than he hal. No man had perhaps committed greater errors than himself ; but all that he asked was, that when he dirt err, he should he turned round and told that such and such a thieg was his foul deed, because he did not see why one false step should mar a whole life.—(Cheers.) When the people thought long upon a thing they generally thought right, and they might depend upon it th.t the people would not take up the fragment of any man's cl-,eracter and le °flounce their o r inion upon it; but they would jud!,.e him by his general econact, and not by any pir;ieular act. His Hon. Friend t4d, spoken about the Corn taws, anti some one had asked him if he was for a total aboli tien. He thought. it was unnecessary for him to state that he was in favour of total ab,:lition.—(Loud cheers.) He bad no doubt that. the slicing scale and the fixed duty would soon dis aprear. They would find that a free trade in corn was a trade without any shackles. Lard DUNCAN s.id, al:hough he advocated a fixed duty he did not In , an f.sr a moment to !ay that it should be final. Mr. ROEFIUCII lIUMIRhI would be great difficulty in car rying through the fixed duty or a total abolition ; but if it was shown hint that they could not carry the total abolition, but that ihey would carry a small fixed duty, he would take that in preference to nothing. Everything was to b: ac complishe.i step by step. All the great revolutions that had taken place had been accomplished step by step. Even the Refocus Bill and the ether great measures that bad been pas7ed by the pre,ent Ministry had been accomplished by degrees. So with respect to civil liberty—that had not been brought about at once. lie trusted that in all the great questions which he had adverted, the people of Bath would Lear and forbear.— (Cheers.) He trusted that they would never give up that which the:. were entitled to—civil and religious liberty for themselves and their descendants. If the people adopted that cou-se, he thought the battle of freedom would soon be won. and this country would become what he believed God intenried it to be—a 'great, a powerful, and a happy natien.—(Cheers. ) 'f he CHAIRMAN then put the question that Mr. Roebuck and Lord Duncan were fit and proper candidates to represent the city of Bath in Parliament, and declared it to be carried unanimouly.. Three cheers were then given for the Queen, and throe for Lord Duncan, and three for Mr. Roebuck. . . Lotd DUN ,t 1 .4 proposed three cheers for the example that had been set by the eketors of Bath in the union of himself and Air. Rocimck, and may, continued the Noble Lord, that ex ample be foilowel by the other constituencies of the kingdom. A vote of thciaks ~ vas thee unanimously carried to the Chair man for his impartial conduct in the chair, and three cheers havitrz be,n given for the :Mayor of Bath, the meeting sepa rated. Lord Duncan and Mr. Roebuck were enthusiastically chez red on lervi!.g the Hall. COURT CIRCULAR.

HONESTY.--On Wednesday week, a legal gen tleman passing alang the streets in Glasgow, dropped four notes for 100/. etch, which for a considerable time were missing.

THE ANTI-CORN-LAW MEETING ON WED reesnay.—We give, in another part of our present number, a pretty full abstract of the proceedings of an immense meeting of the working classes of this town, held in Stevenson's-square, on Wednesday last, to consider the propriety of petitioning against the Corn-laws. It will be seen from this report that the strange delusion Which so lung prevailed amongst a cer tain portion of the working classes in this neighbourhood, and which induced them to oppose a demand for the re dress of any grievance, however manifes4 until their own impracticable demands were complied with, has at length been diesipated. Indeed, the larger and better part of the working classes in this town—the men who mind their own business, and take care of their 'Dan families—never joined in it • but there were idle sa d di scontented spirits who were disposed ' to listen to the exhortations of trading agitators,. and who were could not control. From this t . sufficiently numerous to disturb those bz!eeetl imagine which they the delusion is at an end ; and ` n i whatever the the working classes may think about the "fire points," they will be qui`e satisfied to al iow others to seek thetore,insovabl of acknowledged grievances, without interfering confident, their proceedings.

Though re peatedly desired to remove this obstruction, they contemptu ously refused to do so; and when some of those who stood near attempted to pull it down, tie Chartist bludgeon-men immediately drew out their concealed weapons, and ma d e a fierce attack upon all who stood near them. .This savage onslaught at first confounded the .Anti. Corn-7aw men, wha were entirely unarmed, and in no condition to resist the attack ; but, having broken up the staves cf some of their Own banner:, they provided themselves with weapees frono the frag ments, and a tierce conflict ensued, the issue of which at first appeared doubtful, as the Chartist?, though only a handful in comparison with the perti , s to as horn they . were opposed, had the advantag,s' of preparation and organteaticn.

The Noble Lord referred shortly to the outlines of the arguments he should have used had he brought forward the question, in order to show that agitation of the public would more likely be lessened than increased by discussing, the measure in Parliament. The Noble Lord also adverted to Sir llonEwr PEEL'S charge, that the Ministers had two budgets, which he po sitively denied, and ridiculed the imputation as unworthy of belief and unworthy of receiving any countenance from Sir ROBERT PEEL. lie proposed to take the esti mate:. for Canada and China, and a vote of credit for the miscellaneous estimates for six months from the month of April.

He declared more than once that he wished to take no advantage of his present position ia impeding the Government. He thought the dissolution should be speedy ; he asked the Ministers fora declara tion that the new Parliament should be speedily as sembled, and having obtained it, contributed to promote the business for the rest of the evening, with a view of hurrying on the dissolution as much as possible. MI. VILLIERS observed that he and his friends had been reproached with going too far on the Corn-laws ; but , now, Olen the Government had taken the Com law question out of his hands, and proposed a measure extremely favourable to the landlords, they would not al low it even to be discussed. He thought, however, suelt a course would . promote the success of the cause, and he would encourage the country by reminding it that no good cause ever succeeded at first. The land lords looked forwarg to a majority in the next Parlia ment and intended to stop all discussion. Mr. WAKLEY addressed the House at some length on the dissolution, and asked Sir .11. PEEL what he meant to do about the Poor-law. , • Sir ROBERT had stated that he would support the law with some modification. Mr. LABOUCHERE defended the Government at some length, and explained that they meant to bring forward other modifications of the Commercial Code. He thoug: - .t no contest would be more fearful than that of the pro tected interests ou the one side, and the hungry people on the other ; and the Government had taken no extreme course in endeavouring to avoid that. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER proved that the Tory history of - the finances was not correct, either as to the presumed deficiences of the Whigs, or the assumed economy of the Tories. Sir R. PEEL and Mr. HERRIES both replied to the CHANCELLOR. Mr. HOME and Mr. Got LBURN followed, and then the House went into a Committe of Supply. Sums were voted for Canada and the war in China, and the House resumed. The Ecclesiastical Commissioners Bill and the Bribery Bill were read a second time, and some other Bills were forwarded, as if the House could not. give up the ruling passion even when it is at death's door. It would be better to leave such work to its successor. The House was for some time engaged with the Clt.rk of the Peace fur Lancaster Compensation Bill, and ad journed at a Quarter before One o'Clock. Every day brings us nearer a dissolution. In the House of Commons last night Lord JOHN RUSSELL gave up his intended motion on the Corn-laws, because it would be disrespectful to the House to bring it on after the vote of censure. Probably some of the Noble Lord's own friends tcok a similar view, and he feared, if he mooted it, a double opposition. The Noble Lord an nounced the intention of Government to take a vote of credit, and Sir ROBERT PEEL distinctly stated that be would throw no obstruction in the way of Government. He expressed an opi nion that dissolution ought to take place as soon as possible, and that will be the result. Thcßight Hon. Baronet is also of opi :ion that the new ParliaMent should be assembled as soon as possible, and he made it a condition of for warding the measures necessary to a dissolution that Lord Joux RUSSELL ShOUli state that the Ministers meant to. call the new Parliament to gether as speedily as possible. Though Lord Jour; admitted that as a general prin eiple it was wrong in Ministers to state what advice they meant to give, he had no' hesitation in assuring Sir ROBERT PEEL that the Ministers would advise the Crown to call the new Parliament together as soon as possible. The Noble Lord stated, that after the vote of Saturday morning, he should be anxious not to hold office a day longer than was neces sary to ascertain the opinion of the country. We are on the eve, therefore, of a dissolution, and ere lonc; a new Parliament will represent the nation. A fortnight may perhaps elapse before the prorogation, but that will, we believe, be the extent of the delay, and those who mean to have a voice in the elections must at once bestir themselves. We must again then remind the electors, that on them now depends the future fate of the country. They must answer to posterity, they must answer to the Most High for their conduct and their votes. A most important principle is at stake. Hitherto commercial legislation, under the mask of protection, has been a great system of cunningly devised fraud. It is nothing , but plunder in the solemn disguise of law. So ciety cannot prosper under such a system, and the misery which arrests our attention in every condition of life—the poverty and crimes of one class, the riotous luxury and dissipa tion of another, the want of employment and the want of food which meet us every hour, attest the evils of this system. At length it has reached the Government. The revenue feels the effects of restraints on industry and of mutual plunder. The Ministers have been obliged to declare against the system of fraud in disguise. Their opponents openly advocate the system of plunder. Between these two systems and two parties the public will speedily be -called on to decide. Political expediency, of which few can judge, must now make way for higher principles, and all who respect virtue, all who.prefer honesty to Ivaud, all who wish to see the law based o❑ jus tice, and be worthy of moral and Chr.stian men, must unite to put down a vile system of plun der, of which, for the first time, perhaps, in the history of mankind, a great nation is asked by the Tories to give a so lemn approval. But the electors can only do that by sharing the crime. A law cannot con vert wrong to right ; and those who vote for the. support of robbery by law, will be as much the accessaries to theft, as if they were to arm and equip a highwayman, and share his plunder. dread it because they know they are wrong. It must be for the people to strengthen their con- viction. The people must take - up the question the more warmly, since the House of the Mono , - polists has put it down. We rejoice, indeed, to know that they are doing so ; and the question is mooted in every town of the empire. Those who look to the House of Commons for a final decision will be deceived. The public is a far higher tribunal than Parliament, and a reference to it can not be prevented by the landlords. Though" the subject is not to be brought forward in Par-. liament, it is our happiness to know that it will be heard at every hustings. Cheap Bread and No Monopoly will resound through the land. The Ministers are with us, the QUEEN is with us, the people are with us, justice is on our side, and though the lanftiords say the subject shall not be mooted in Parliament, they must by and by set their seal to the solemn and just de cision of the public, abolishing the Corn-law. The Hanover Gazette, of the 2d inst., has just reached us. On that day King ERNEET was graciously pleased to open the General Assembly of the Estates of his Kingdom in the following Speech from the Throne, upon which we are prevented by the crowded state of our c3lumns from offerink a syllable of comment : " Gentlemen,—l am ha,,py 'at having been able now to summon the Estates of my Kin4dom. Circumstancea alone, which were out of my pow: r to control, caused the .delay. Many cf you may, perhaps, be inconven,enced tho cenvoca tion.having been do ferred, but your attendance in such num bers in this Assembly at the aovato ed sea.on of the yea. most give general siti-factioa, for it is a proof of the patriotic feclirg prevailing in the country, my confidence in which I have never lost ; this confidence has always cneouraeed me in the many and fit eat difficulties with which I have had to contend in order to accomplish the dearest wish of any heart, the regu lation of the Constitution of the kingdom. 1 shall not tcquiee. your Session to be prolonged beyond the time necessary for the settlement of matters which the good of the country will not allow to be dehyed. The events which. for nearly a year past, have seriously clouded our political prospects, are well known to you. I was obliged to take those steps, which my duty, as a ;Member of the German Confederation, imposed on me. I am happy, however, to add, that no increase of the burdens of my faithful subjects has been required. The ex penses could not be avoided. You will all jaia with me in imploring from Heaven the continuance of peace, which is th e greatest blessing that nations can enjoy ; bet to ensure peace it is necessary to be always ready to make a vigorous defence. Yon are all aware of our inviolable duties to the German Confederation for this purpose, and in order to fulfil them 1 rely the more confidently on your faithful suppo,t and sour serious co-operation, as you must know that no one has more at heart than myself the real welfare of all. May Gud protect this happy land, for with feelings ofjov and gratitude to Providence 1 may justly call it so, in comparison with many others. I hope and trust that i n ever y t hi ng re l a ti ng to the public affairs of Germany, I shall find in you the same views and principles by which I have always been animated and guided. These are, that Germany, as one whole, will al was sbe strong and powerful ; able to defend its rights. That it will not have cause to fear any dangor, so long as we remain united. That this may always be the case is my most fervent wish. I declare the General Assembly of the States to be opened. The MinisLrial crisis in Fiance, and the want of eon fitlenee vote of the House of Gammon; in England, afford ample materials for the occupation of the Paris journals of Sunday. The Mouiteur Parisien, the ex-Government evening journal, thus speaks of the rumoured resigna tion of Marshal SOULT In consequence of the indisposition of the Marshal, and the adoption of General d'Ambrugeax's amendment, which seems to adjourn to the next Session the dtfiuitice adoption of the project of law of recruitment by the two Chambers, the report was spread that. the President of the Council had given in his resignation. This rumour has no foundation. The Marshal will not certainly deprive of his great expel ienee the Cabinet, at . ti,e head of which he has been placed by the confidence of the King. . _ _ T 1 e Presse, which is the organ of Count MOLE, and equahy well informed upon what usually passes at Court, says : Rumours of resignation eh - ciliated this day at the Bourse. The Afoniteur Pariszen , whilst it had the air of contradicting these reports; exprk , sse 3 its&l in terms more calculated to con firm than to contradict them. We believe, in fact, that they were well foundA during a etrtain part of the day ; but on Saturday evening the friends of the President of the Counci! hoped that he would depart from•& resolution - justified by no serious motive. The ilfessagcr and the Moniteur, the two official jonr nals, are silent upon the subject of what the Government has done or intends to do. 'This shows that no decision had been come to Sunday morning. The Constitu tionnel, the oracle of M. TRIERS and his Mends, gives the following account of the reported resignation of the Pre sident of the Council : " It appears certain that after Friday's sitting the President of the Council, much affected at the vote of the Chamber, went to the Tuileries to give in his resignation to the King. The interview was long, and it is affirmed that in despite of all the entreaties made to him the Marshal maintained his re,:olution. What, ably° all, made the deepest impression on his mind was that the Duke of Orleans, who made use of his right as a peer, and conscientiously judged • the law, rose twice in favour of General d'Ambruge,&s amendment. It was after his visit to Netully, and on returning home, the Marshal was so seriously attack, d." The Univers, the Commerce, the Courrier Francais, the Temps, and nearly all the other journals, with the excep tion of Debats, give similar accounts of the occur rences which followed the vote on Friday. There is, -therefore, no doulet WhateVer'' but, that Marshal SOULT did place his resignation in the hands of the KING, although he may since have been; prevailed upon to re main in office. The obServations of the French Papers on the Want of Confidence Vote in the House of Commons, are not of sufficient interest for a place in our columns. They all anticipate a dissolution, and a new Parliament which shall have sufficient confidence in the MELBOURNE Cabi net to unite with it in abolishing the Corn-laws. The following official news from Africa appears in the Atuniteur of Sunday : TELEGRAPHIC DXSPATCH. "THE MARITIME PREFECT TO THE 3IINISTF.R OF MARINE. " Toulon, June 5.

In the House of Lords last night an interesting con versation took place on the subject of the Corn-laws ; and we are happy to see Lord BROUGHAM back in his place, and taking his share in the good work. His Noble Friend, the Earl of RADIson, that untiring advo cate of justice and truth, took 'Ow lead in it, and demon strated that the introduction of foreign corn would by no meami displace au equal quantity of home-grown earn, and that wages would not fall as corn fell in price. Lord Asi;nuirrox contradicted the Noble Earl, without refuting him, and failed to prove that any labourers were so badly paid as the lumper-fed Irish. 'The Earl of HAREWOOD admitted the existence of manufacturing distress, but ascribed it to ovcrtrading, as if that were not another name for the want of a market, of which the Cora-laws deprive the manufacturer. Lord "BROUGH.I3I said be was ready, two years ago, to prove at the bar that low wages would not result from low-pricedsorp, but he was so much -c)posed that lie gave up his motion..

BANKS OF ISSUE.—A short Bill haa just been brought into Parliament, making it imperative on. all bankers in the United Kingdom to keep accounts of the amount of their promissory notes in circulation, and to make re turns thereof monthly. The Bank of England is to make similar returns monthly, together with a sta' e went of the amount of the bullion in the Bank during the preceding month, and these returns shall be pub lished in the Glzette in every month. The Bill was prepared and brought in by Mr. Cherles Wood, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Sir Robert POJ. DEaTa or Sin DAVID WILKIE.—We 2.:11101111i!E! with groat regret the death of this celebrated Painter, wltion took place at Gibraltar on the ist of this month. It would appear •.lut.t his death was sudden, as no account had been receiveci of his previous illness. He was on his return from Egypt, where be had pawed some time in ve2erable ruins of that ancient country— net e - e!y with a to gratify a laudable curiosity, but ek e to ena bl e him, a t fature period, we believe, to lay the result of his labou,.:' before the public, but they have been speedily cut short the hand of death. Du ring his visit he had frequent I th ,erviews with Mehemet Ali, with whom he is said to have bre'll a great favourite, and had taken one of the best likens:3o 3 a his High ness, with a view of having •it engrave°. in England. We trust the painting was in such n state of h e awardness as will enable an engraver to cerry the original i l esigil into effect. The loss of'Sir David Wilkie will be felt, pot only in this country, but throughout Europe and Ame ritta. His Rent Day, Blindthan's Bui7, Penny Wedding, Chelsea Pensioners, and many other now standard works of art, are as • well known and as much admired in foreign conntries as in his native land, and will render his name immortal. Like a countryman of his own, who is as w:•11 know throughout the civilized world, Mr. Thomas Campbell, he completed most of his c.ilebrated works when he was young. He came to London when he was about twenty years of age, and exhibited for the first time at the Royal Leadenly, in 1305. One great painting followed another in rapid succession, and in a few years he reached the - heiieht of his fame. Latterly his productions have been far Igor to those which brought him so justly into notice. Sir David was 56 years of age at his death. lie was the son of the Rev. Wilkie, minister of the parish of Oults, in Fifeshire, and was born in 1785. He was knighted in 1836, elected an Associate of the Rove?. Academy, in 1810, and a Royal Academician in 1812. Ile was lately appointed principal painter in ordinary to her Majesty. SLAVE-GROWN PRODUCE. A writer in the Anti-Slavery Reporter puts " the inquiry to all, whether we should continue to sutThr ourselves, however unwill ingly, to be a party to the great crime of slavery ; and whether we are doing what we can in the cause of aboli tion, whilst we continue to be, as consumers of the pro duction, the great supporters of the system." It is clear tliat the gentleman is not_doing what he can to aid in the cauz:e of abolition, while he woars cotton or:uses tobbacco, or is in any way contaeninated by slave-grown produce. He ought to go naked, or wear woollens—taking core that it .is not contaminated by cochineal or indigo gathered by slaves. If he, and such as he, will only confine their philanthropy -to themselves, and not play the tyrant over others, while they serve the slaves, their conduct may be most praiseworthy. We do not object to their abstain ing from using slave-grown produce, but we have a hor ror of their interfering to make other people abstain. THE "MODESTY OF THE BREAD TAXERS is as remark able as their sense of justice. They tell the labourers that for every quarter of foreign corn brought into the country a quarter of home-grown corn will be displaced. At the same time they say that importing foreign corn will lower the prices one-third. and they expect to be be lieved when they affirm that more bread will not be eaten when the loaf costs 4d. than when •it cost 6d. At the, same time they solemnly andin printed papers assure the labourers that if the price falls frOm 60s. to 40s. the la bourers will receive then less wages. They do not mean, therefor a, to abate their rents nor lessen , their tithes. Whatever may happen they are resolved to have as large a share as they now have ; and while they pretend to be the friends of the labourers they doom them to bear all the loss, if any, of repealing. the bread tax. The labourers, however, are already ground down to the lowest stage of poverty, and any change - in their condition must be for the better. They will not allow the bread taxers to throw on them the loss caused by the repeal, as the bread taxers have had all the advantage of the tax. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

QUARTER TO THREE. Whilst trade in all branches is carried on to se limited an ex tenf,,, even consumptioe being materially checked by high prices and manufacturing ciistiess, it will excite no surprise that the stocks of produce should be on the increase As an article of leading importance we may take the case of British plantation sugar. The imports this year have not exczcded I'y snore than 30 hhds. 300 trca. those of last year . up to the corresponding date ; and yet the ,stock is 8,562 hauls. against only 6,526 hhds., at this time last year. This evidently points, therefore, to an increased consumptien; and, induce, upon referring to the returns before us, we find that" up to this time in 1840 it amounted to 38,668 . h , gsheitds, while this year it h as been only 23,086 hogsheaes. This at once shows the serious privatiorik of the poorer classe , ., and at the same time appears to indicate that even the West India planter barely makes a good exchange in realising ex travagant trices, while he sells lull one-th'rd less. :limey is light in the City again, owing to the nearer ap pose's of a ckssolution of Parliament. The steaWness of the Funds,.not withstanding this, shows tLe confidence of the ple be at large. Consols, Account, bbd 89 ; Mexican, 27z , Portuguese, ; Spanish, 231 4. . .
