ONDAY M BQ th Sir R. PEEL and Lord STANLEY, On Friday eve; sing, explicitly stated that the inquiry into the Brielport case was not for the purpose of criminating any person: 'Of course, it cannot, therefore, have for Its object the dispossessing any Member . -of his seat. F rom th e w h o l e c ourse of the proceedings, it plain that the inquiries to be entered into by Mr. ROEBUCK can have no •such effect. It wou Id be monstrous for the House of. Commons to tingle out, on the representation of Mr. ROE suc r, or any other Member, five or six Members, NM a tstitute an inquiry into their mode of getting their ;seats, when it is notorious that scores of HOD.

On fiat .se reasons it seems certain that Mr. Itonnucies inqu'kriescan have no other effect than to establish the exist nue of bribery and compromise to.serve as a basis of legislation.

By the rent betwixt and between course the House will find itself at last in a dilemma, from which it can only es cape by a speedy prorogation. In the explanation which Lord STANLEY gave on the 19th of April of the condition of our colonies, in respect to their present capacity for receiving emi grants, after explaining that New South Wales was completely overstocked with labourers, that South Australia was bankrupt and pauperised, his Lordship said that New Zealand offered better prospects for emigrants, or seemed more likely to absorb labour than any of our settlements in the ,South Seas. The little hope and little consolation which the Noble Lord's statement seemed calculated to afford to the thousands who are perishing at home have been, we are afraid, entirely done away by the latest arrivals from that part of the world. The Patriot of Wed nesday published a letter from a Mr. QUAIFE, a mis sionary in New Zealand, which contains some intelli gence calculated, to excite alarm for the future pro gress of that colony, and even for the future safety of the colonists. The letter, we must remark, is without date, but it quotes a document of the 4th of December. The Patriot says it "has just come to hand," and as the latest arrivals from that colony are of the date of January the Ist, it has come, we presume, by them. Besides this uncertainty as to date, Mr. QUAIFE has been the editor of a newspaper which was suppressed, and his disappointment on that head may give a colour to his remarks, against which we must warn our readers. We shall quote his account of the matter, both in order to place him fairly before them, and in form the public of the arbitrary law, as to the press, under which the colonists are placed. After giving a• history of the up-hill establishment of his journal, of his desire to promote order and obedience, and of his growing conviction that the trimming proceedings of the Governor would require him to take a bolder Utfarnr, he £4 . 0y6--.- At length, the celebrated "Act of Council" arrived, and was published in our Gazette. The moral objects for which I had entered on my undertaking were now too manifestly at stake to admit of further dlay in taking my ground. That Act annihilates native property, and stands in direct and glaring contravention of the pub lished declarations of the Ministry, and of the promises made, in their name, to the native chiefs, both on the acknowledgment of their independence and the cession of their territory. I knew that, in other colonies, conse quences the most calamitous to the aboriginal races had resulted from the non-recognition of aborginal pro perty ; and my eye instantaneously glanced through the vista of years, pervaded by a chain of oppressions, retaliations, wars, subjugations, &c., terminating in the slavery of the New Zealanders, or their entire destruction, as in Van Dieman's Land. The prospect was appalling, but I could see nother, The only hope appeared to rest in the growing enlightenment and phi lanthropy of the age. I hesitated not a moment to adopt . my, course.; I resolved to write against the Act with all my power, and to enlist the interest of the settlers against it, by showing them how much they were in volved in the calamities it entailed. This I did ; and I flatter myself I demonstrated the iniquity and absurdity , of the Act to the satisfaction of all. When the Commis sioners arrived, they could not put it in force. The New .Zealand Government, however, took the alarm, and sent me a notice, placing me under the Sydney Newspaper Act passed by Governor Darling, requiring 6001. recogni zances, and subjecting an editor to arbitrary trial, and, for a second conviction, to transportation. The Lieutenan t Hobson, told a deputation that he should persist in applying this Act, although when he found the whole colonial press against him, he relaxed his se verity; but it was too late, for our paper was then extinguished. From such laws and proceedings we are not sur prised that Captain HOBSON is not popular in New Zealand, and the danger to be apprehended from the natives, which Mr. QUAIFE thus describes, would be less alarming were the settlers united and the Go vernor respected. On the 20th of November a most atrocious murder was perpetrated upon all the members of a family living at Paroa Island, only some five or six miles from Koro rareka, and within the Bay of Islands. The family, named Robertson, consisted of Mrs. R., a widow lady, with two of her own children, a little boy about six years old, and an infant daughter eighteen months old ; a little half-caste daughter of Captain Brind, and Tho mas Bull, a servant man. The last named bad his head cleft horizontally 'with an axe, while asleep in the gar den, in the afternoon. The little boy is aupposed to have been thrown over the rock alive into the'sea. The others were -found in the kitchen, burnt to a cinder, but with deep gashes still visible on the back of the neck or the occiput. The house was plundered, and then burnt to the ground. A Coroner's inquest being called, it came out, in evi dence, that certain natives charged a young chief ; named Makatu, with the horrible deed ; and they pro duced some articles as a part of the plunder, which they alleged were received from him. To obtain this informa tion, two gentlemen, residents at Kororareka, and jurors, were under the necessity of risking their safety, by going to that island alone, and spending an entire clay among the natives, to the amount of two or three hundred, who are in a state of most equivocal excite ment on the occasion. They stated that they were seve ral times - greatly alarmed for their personal safety. They would not have gone unprotected ; but the Police Magistrate peremptorily refused to act or give orders, and; Without those orders, the constables would not pro ceed to the island. The Favourite, a British frigate, lying in the harbour at Russell, with two of h er Ma jesty's discovery ships, was applied to by the Coroner for boat's crews to aid in capturing the murderer or mur derers, but refused to take any part in the affair with otit the Magistrate's orders. If anything was to be done, therefore, Messrs. Spicer and Wilson were und er the necessity endangering their lives to accomplish it, and this they did. They could not, however, get the young man away. He was the next day brought up in a canoe, by his father, Rube, evidently with a view to reward, and then he would deliver him only into the hands of those two gentlemen, and that, on condition that be was to remain with them till the inquest was over, when, it is clear, it was expected he would be given up again to the natives. There was a reward offered to the parties who disco vered the murderer ; but it appears that the real cause of their readiness to make the disclosure, was the mur der of the little half-caste, who was the grand-daught er of the great chief, E Rewa (Rivers). This circum stance seems most providentially to have interested him; and he has not expressed regret, as far as I am informed, for any other part of the massacre. While Messrs. Spicer and Wilson were at the island, and fully expecting the aid of police, or military, or o f some boat's crews from her Majesty's ships, for the pur pose at once of protecting them, and securing the per son of the alleged murderer, those ships left the bay, and did not deem it proper to wait for further communica tions from the Police Magistrate; thus proving that they fully concurred in withholding every endeavour to cap ture the assassin. The Favourite has this very day re tinned to her post, almost three weeks after the emer gency which required her prompt interposition. Native witnesses were examined on the inquest. They all regarded him as the murderer - but there was nothing more than circumstantial proof in their state ments. Their evidence, added to a number of other cir cumstances, led me to conclude that they did not bring forth all they knew. Ile acknowledged the deed himself, described the manner of its perpetration, and stated some motives by which he was prompted. To the question, whether other parties were concerned, he would give no very decisive denial. Here the inquest failed of its point. Subsequently, at Auckland, he stated he was induced by his father to commit the horrid crime, and that he, the father, had a claim upon the island. One of the wit nesses showed a previous knowledge of his murderous intentions. . On the close of the inquest, Makatu was committed by the Coroner's warrant, and not given up into the hands of his father ; and from that circumstance has arisen the i excitement above mentioned, which has nearly spread 44tself over the whole of this island, north of the Thames. Now, there is every reason—l speak deliberately, and from a twelvemonth's observation—to believe that this miserable state of things arises out of the absurd en deavour of Captain Hobson to set up British authority in these islands, without being furnished with physical means, or intellectual capacity to do so. Trade has been everywhere crushed ; prosperous settlements have been ruined • his own capital is perishing ; British law cannot be enforced ; the native mind is roused to a most dangerous state of irritation ; the missionaries them selves are full of apprehensions ; and all, I believe, attri bute the crisis to the Government follies. And it may be safely affirmed that Captain Hobson and his Colonial Secretary have not a single friend, native, English, or foreign, in the whole country. The gloom which rests, both on public and private affairs, is appalling ; and where the scene will end I do not know. Let it be remarked, that the inhabitants of the Bay of Islands are, at the present moment , indebted for their safety to a most providential and singular occurrence. had taken a threateonfingeii One day last Week- tribe to which Alakatti belonged position at Waitangi, or Ma- There they expressed their determination tarva, on the side opposite to Kororareka. thation to be avenged on the white people for the native evidenec a to prove the fact, as a decided And I am particularly informed detentionby of the young chief. gentleman, .who evening the French frigate plankill, plunder,to ma ke that, ayts, that n at one he ecvaenn i bring there w an immediate rush upon Kororareka, to ocameinw ith a v i by . k.n u , b a e n , destroy. d com m and Commandant a v v e a ry u d , 22 gun s , distressed and damaged whaler, and the sight of that ship has operated too powerfully upon the native ft ars to permit them to put their plot into execution.

Theinhabliants of Port Nichol son have petitioned her MAJESTY to recal him, and the Netv Zealand Gazette, published there, uses this language ':—= It appears, then,, that, large_ sums of money are col lected in Port Nicholson, and remitted to Auckland.

As long, there fore, as the present men are in office, and the existing system is upheld, we must be expected to be victimized. Shall the wrong be quiety endured ? Has the spirit of resistance to injury, cherished in England, become ex tinct in New Zealand ? There is that on the pages of our journal which forbids the supposition. The consti tutional right of petition for redress of grievances has been exercisek and the removal of a Governor viru lently prejudiced against this settlement, has been re quired from the Queen. Nothing has occurred to show that the colonists acted unwisely or precipitately on the occasion referred to. On the contrary, they took a just measure of the man they had to deal with. We see the necessity of again petitioning for the recal of Captain Hobson, and for responsible Government.

This will enable passengers to leave London two hours and a half later (the last day train starting at eleven), and arrive at Liverpool or Manchester by a quarter pat t eleven at night. The only wonder is, that an improve ment so obvious had not occurred to the Directors long ago. Possibly the new line of Railway from Manches ter to Crewe has quickened their praiseworthy appre hensions. Of course a corresponding train will leave Manchester and Liverpool at the same time for London, otherwise the advantage will be all one way. The change takes place on Wednesday, the Ist of June. The collection of Oriental literature, collected by Jas. Bruce, of Kennard, extending to near one hundred vo lumes, and announced for sale by auction in our columns of to-day, is probably the finest MS. that ever was pre; sented to public competition. A LETTER-CARRIER'S FUNERAL.—III Islington, yes terday, a letter-carrier, of the name of Greening, re cently deceased, was followed to the grave by a consi derable number of his brother letter-carriers, dressed in their uniform. Such a mark of respect must be gratify. ing to the deeeased's widow and family. It is a proof that he was esteemed, and his loss regretted by his use ful brethren. In these circumstances, and having a much less fa vourable opinion of New Zealand as a place for settlers than is generally entertained, which makes us infer that the colony may be filled with disappointed and discontented persons, we see considerable cause for alarm. The mischief has, to a great extent, been caused by Government appointing a Governor, and a whole host of officials, who seem to have nothing else to do, than to harrass the settlers. Lord STANLEY is not the man, we are afraid, toremedy the evil ; he will be for interfering still more, when, in truth, besides affording to the colonists the general protection of sending a ship of war, now and then, to look after them, they cannot be too much left to themselves. At this vast distance from the spot, we will not think of saying what ought to be done—we will only express our fears, that more mischief is likely to ensue from the rash interference of the Colonial-office than from its forbearance. LIVERPOOL, SENDAY MORNING.—We have Ju st re ceived a telegraphic comm un i c ation reporting the Cale donia steamer to be off Point Lynas, at half-past six o'clock this morning, in company with the Cambridge, New York packet ship, of the lst instant. The steamer was to take her departure from Halifax with the mails on the 18th instant. It is really astonishing what an amount of ignorance, as respects bribery and corruption at elections, prevails among those whom the world slanderously presumes to be specially conversant with such matters. Few are the Candidates who have the slightest knowledge of corrupt, electioneering practices; still fewer the Constituencies who are not as pure as unsunned snow. When it is ob jected either to the electors or the elected that they are by no means paragons of innocence, the objection comes upon them like a thunderclap ! They are bewildered — electrified —stunned. - They never heard of such a calumnious reproach in . the whole course of their lives, and are shocked at the moral depravity that could have originated it ! Assess a Parliamentary candidate or representative at his own valuation and never was there a more spotless, incorruptible' being. He is a diamond without a flaw—a pearl above all price. Even though he may represent an Ipswich or a Beverley, he thanks GOD he is not a WARBURTON, whose naive confessions of bribery strike a chill through all his veins ! From the speech which he de livered last Thursday at Nottingham, we gather that Mr. WALTER is a representative of this pure and spot less character. He knows nothing not he ! of illegal electioneering practices ; no lamb new-dropped on Sherwood Forest was. ever more innocent than himself ; and if he object to have the question of his innocence discussed on trial, it is only because he objects to those who are to try him. Messrs. RoEnucx and HAWES have such an odd, perverse way of looking at matters ; they are, besides, so notoriously his personal enemies, that they might actually confound innocence with guilt, and deliver a verdict against him, when the verdict should be strongly in hiS favour. In these days of wholesale electioneering corruption,it is refreshing to know that we possess such a sturdy patriot as Mr. WALTER, who, with his hand on his heart, and his eyes piously uplifted to that Providence who knows and will reward his virtue, can thus address the Nottingham electors : " With respect to Mr. ROEBUCK'S charge of a sale of this town, I can only say, that much money as I have spent in honourable contest, here, none has gone out of my pocket, nor shall go, for such a purchase !" Exem plary man ! How black does a WARBURTON show beside a WALTER ! But not only is the latter gen tleman a model of :political purity, but the whole Conservative party at Nottingham is equally immaculate., "We know nothing," says one of Mr. WALTER'S staunchest supporters, " of the flagitious practices alleged against this town—we know nothing of them—we re pudiate them." We can imagine the face with which this virtuous Tory declaration was made, and are no longer at a loss to understand what lloitacE means, when he talks of a certain individual's countenance being cased in " triple brass ! " The effects of Lord Lichfield,• in St. James's-square' are to be sold in a fortnight, and will Occupy a whole week. The service of gold and silver plate is said to be magnificent ; and, in August, Mr. George Robins announces a sale, extending over eighteen days, at Shug borough Hall, of the same Right Hon. Peer, which will create a sensation little short of Strawberry-hill. The gallery of pictures and the statues are accounted of the first order. The furniture is throughout splendid, and within the cellars ure 20,000 bottleS of wine of a quality most recherche. GENERAL ASSEMBLY.—Another lengthened debate took place on Tuesday, respecting what the Non-Intru sions call the encroachments of the civil power. A de claration signed by 160 members and elders was pre sented, in which they prayed the General Assembly to adopt resolutions setting forth the rights and privileges of the Churel, as secured by the statutes of the realm, and the manner in which they had been assailed by the Court of Session, in the cases of Strathbogie, Aucht,r arder, Dario:, and many others. Dr. Chalmers accord ingly moved resolutions to that elfcct, and in a long rambling speech, adverted to the ignorance of Sir Robert Peel, Sir James Graham, and the Engiish generally, respecting the condition and pi ivileges of the Scotch Church; attacked the landed proprietors of East Lothian and other counties, for excluding the wandering Non-Intrusionist preachers from the pulpits of the parish churches; expressed his determination to maintain to the last the supremacy of the Church, in spite of the deci sions of the Court of Session and the House, of Lords ; and foretold in forcible language that unless the Govern ment and the law yielded to the clairns of the Church, the -.:ountry would be thrown into confusion and anarchy. Dr. Cook moved various resolutions as an amendment, and contended that the Church, being the first aggressor, should show signs of repentance, by repealing the Veto Act, which infringes on civil and patrimonial rights, annul the depositions of the Strathbogie ministers, and continue, as she had hitherto done, to listen to the objec tions of the parish to a candidate, w ith a view to reject him if the objections were well-founded. A division took place at two in the morning, when 241 members voted for the motion of Dr. Chalmers, and 110 for the amend ment of Dr. Cook, giving a majority of 131 for Non-In trusion. This, therefore, settles the question as far as the Assembly is concerned. Sir J. Graham stated on Friday. evening, that, as the subject was before the As sembly it would be premature to maka any decla ration as to the proceedings, or say whether her Majesty's Government would make, themselves re sponsible for a .measure to heal the divisions in the Church of Scotland. The Assembly. has now spoken out, and the Rig!st Hon. Baronet therefore may try his hand at healing measures. Should lie succeed in satisly ing both ministers and people, his name would be im mortalised in Scotland. COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen and Prince Albert attended Divine Service yesterday morning, in the Chapel Royal, St. James's. The Sermon was preached by the Hon. and Rev. B. Eden, from Psalm xxxiii., verses 10, 11, and 12 ; the Prayers were read by the Rev. Mr.Barham; the Lessons by the Rev. J. Haden; and the Communion Service by the Rev. Messrs. Barham and Haden. The Musical Service was Rogers in D, and the Anthem, " 0 grant the King a lone- life."

Whatever language may be held in the House of Com mons relative to bribery, it is evident to us that there does not exist the slightest wish, on thepart of the majo rity of its Members, to put an end to an abuse which reflects discredit ,upon the character of this country. On the contrary, we are persuaded that there is not a privilege of Parliament which Hon. Mem•- hers prize more highly than that of screening those who are guilty of such mal-practices. As we said a few days ago, bribery is the means by which honest men, of small fortunes, are kept out of the House of Commons. This endears the practice to the aristocracy, and hence we find Whigs as eager to support it as Tories. To put an end to bribery, we must educate the people, and extend the suffrage ; to punish it wo must establish a tribunal to inquire into it, quite distinct from either House of Parliament. Lord BROUGHAM'S Bill would not diminish the evil one , jot. A jury of five Lords and seven Commoners would return a verdict as little de serving of respect as an Election Committee. We find the following statement in the Irish corres pondence of the Morning Herald " The town of Bally:Clanton presented the appearance ofa fair during the past week, from the number of families passingto Donegal and Derry for emigration. They chiefly came from the county Fermanagh, where, it is said, whole tow nlands are deserted by the industrious and peaceable teliants, who have resided there from their infancy. They had a respectable ap pearance, and seemed to be well supplied with every necessary requisite." The people of Fermanagh are among the most peace able and industrious in Ireland. Their pursuits are agricultural, and they are much attached to their coun try. Yet they desert in scores to people the wilds of Canada, or locate in the great valley of the Mississippi. Even life in the wilderness has fewer terrors fur them than a longer residence in their own beautiful country. This fact speaks volumes for Irish misgovernment. Great must be the wretchedness, and hopeless the lot of an Irish cotter, who deserts his cabin to cross the Atlantic in search of the means of subsistence. The Right of Search question is again discussed in the French Journals. The Constitutionnel says that France was slow to discover the dangers and abuses to which the Right of Search would lead, but now that she has taken alarm she will for ever persist in opposing the recognition of such a right. The Constitutionnel praises .the 4'nglish nation and Govern ment, but contends that they are insincere in their en deavours to have it believed they are wholly influenced upon tblA question by a religious detestation of slavery. We are charged with the ambition of seeing our flag float over every part of the ocean, and the wish to ex t2ud our trade in whatever . we do to abolish slavery. If the indirect advantages of suppressing this horrible traffic . are so obvious, it is rather surprising that France should not be eager to participate in them. But there is no longer any use in the discussion of the question. It is enough to know that France will not ratify the treaty. There is, therefore, an end to the business. The French Government is determined to push on the various projects for making railways, and to shrink from no expense in the early completion of these gigantic undertakings. France cannot incur debt more usefully than in works so beneficial to all classes of her people. We find the following article in the Gazette du Dauphine : " Jean Boudrier, of Pont de Beauvoiser, was tried on an ac cusation of parricide, accompanied' svith horrible circumstances, by the Court of Assize of the Isere, the sittings of which closed on Sunday last. " According to the public prosecutor, Jean Boudrier had set fire to a barn, in which his father, a paralytic old man, eighty sears of age, slept. On the following morning a few calcined human bones could scarcely be 'distinguished amongst the ruins. " The circumstances of this drama, which terminated with so terrible a scene, are spread over a period of 15 years, for it is so long since Boudrier, flying from his father's house, had taken leave with these atrocious words, ' I should like to sce my father ro:sted like a toad in a frying-pan.' " The Jury found Boudrier guilty of the crime of which he was accused, but with MITIGATING CIRCUMSTANCES (CIACUM. STANCES ATTENDANT'S.) In consequence, the parricide, Jean Boudrier, has been sentenced to hard labour for life. We say, without hesitation, that such a verdict is a public scandal, and proves in the Jury mho delivered it a shameful weakness and incapacity, unworthy of the high, office confided to it by ociety. "In this cue only two verdicts were possible ; a verdict of acquittal, or one of unqualified culpability. " But to allow mitigating circumstances in favour of an act of r arricide committed after fifteen years' infamous meditation is more than a fault, it is a crime against public morality, against society, since the protection t.f virtue, d a il y b ecomes wea k er i n p Gtt ro a p z o e rti e o d ri e to the t r h a e e_ indulgence so fatally giv en t o cr i me ." — L a _i On Saturday Lord Denman gave judgment in the long-disputed case whether bliss I3urdett Coutts should be rated to the relief of the poor in respect of a -box which she held in Drury-lane 'theatre, and the Court decked that the box in question was a tenement, within the meaning of the Act of Parliament, and that, therefore, Miss Coutts was liable to be rated.

Scarcely a bargain has been made in Foreign Securities. Some purchases have, however, been effected in Dutch Two end-a-Half per Cents. at 54, and in the Five per Cents. at 101/. The market generally is firm. The intelligence from Mexico by the Solway, which appears in another place, has had a favourable effect on the quota tions of the Bonds, which are 374 for Money, and 374 for the Account. The absence of the ex-President from the country will doubtless do much towards restoring tranquillity; but the report that Banta Anna is about to attempt to raise a fresh loan, argues badly for the bondholders, since he has not, in previous eats fp ricks, scrupled to use the money set apart for them exclu sively. It must, however, be allowed that the present Go vernment have shown the greatest disposition to keep faith with the foreign creditors, and from all appearances will not fail to do so as long as it is not hardly pressed. No reason exists for legitimate holders parting with their bonds, but every circumstance forbids time bargains.

From Demerara, on the contrary, the accounts were of the worst character, and the planters it would seem are fast reaching ruin, owing to the greatly depreciated value of their property if offered for sale, and the h:gh cost of the produce if cultivateff. Considerable anxiety existed for the meeting of the " Combined Court," which was to take place on the 30th April, and it was hoped that the investigation which would then be entered into as to the cause of the distress, might lead to the adoption of some measure of relief. No alteration for the better had been mach in the method of managing the s e steam-vessels, and the intercolonial communi cation was as bad as ever. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MAY 26.—A fair amount of business was done in Cotton, and about 4,500 bales were sold by private centrar,t, the last quotations remaining unal tered ; 1,683 Sea Island, and 369 stained, were offered by auction. but only 220 of the former and 150 of the latter were sold; the rates obtained were similar to those realized at the last public sale.

The carriages on the Dever line do great credit to the judgment and taste of the Directors, both in mechuoism and finish. For the first time on an Lnglish line whole trains composed of carriages on Air. Adams's Low springs, and fitted with his elastic. buffer arrangement, are in daijy use. Hitherto these carriages have been mixed up with others on the common plan, marring their perfect action, but now. that they constitute entire trains, the result is uniform motion. It is only needful to ride in both kinds of trains—the bow-spring and one on the common plan—to be satisfied of the immense superiority of the former. Not merely a blind man, but a paralytic man, or one with nerves like cart•rope6, would find out the difference. In the et tiannai carriages there is a con stant hard a iiiration, accompattied by uoisc to.d mcessalit lateral shocks, from the action of the flange on the rails. These effects disappear in the bow-spring carriages, the motion of which is soft and easy, analogous to that of a sailing-boat, while the starting and stopping is free from all startling movement. One carriage that we tried was even still superior, being fitted with wood wheels, appeared to absorb the sound generated between the N% heel tyres and the rails. This wheel, we were given to understand, is also a plan of Mr. Adams's. The colour of the carriages is navel on railways, and will well distinguish them from those of the Brighton, Croydon, and tirecnwieh. It is a rich brown, known as the Wellington brown ; in fact, i t i s t h e famil colour of the Duke of 'Wellingt on , ' with whose peculiar c arriage, on four . equal-sized wheels and how-sprint- s most carrage . connoisseur s are f am i liar. With the ex ; eeption of . the lurg. Dover arms en tl:e panel, the. , gene ral painting of the Dover carriages resembles that of Iii:; Grace on a large scale. We hope that all these circum stances combined will have the effect of induche;. the Duke to become a patron of railways in general, r at least of this line, of whose seaward terminus he is the Warden. It would be a novel sight , to see his equal wheeled bow-spring iroad-carria ge on an equal-wheeled bow-spying railway truck, which we have heard a rail way engineer remark, "is the perfection of all travel ling." We trust his .Grace will try it, if only as au ex periment calculated to give edit to a line over whose terminus he claims jurisdiction.—Railway Times. We hare been requested toate that r.

Pt/MLIC OPMION. The Times has an article on the subject of the Queen's letter, in which after stating that "the conduct ut the Go vernment in throwing the reiief of the pour upon the voluntary charity of individuals, is censurable in the ex , reale," our Con temporary goes on to say he whole proceeding of issuing the letter appears to have been peculiarly that of this Minister; for lour Members of the Cabinet the House of Lords, in cluding the Duke of Wellington and the President of the Board of Trade, knew nothing about it when the subject was first mooted by Lord Kinnaird. % hat signifieancy dues this give to the whole affair ! 'Has Sir J. Graham introduced any Bill to give a bona fide Pour-law to t-cotland? No. Has he made any proposition for mitigating the restrictions which in tercept legal relief from the poor in England ? No. But Sir J. Graham was among the most active of those who, in 1b:34, took away the rights which the poor till then possessed in the property of the country ;' Sir J, Graham has ever since been a dogged supporter of that measure of spoliation ; and the same Sir J. Graham has now a Bill before the house of Commons for carrying out - with increased stiineeticy all its oppressive principles. This is the Nfinister who would tax the pious and the charitable to enable him to be generous to the hardhearted and the rich." The Herald says:— . .." The House of Commons was most industriously occupied on Thursday evening iu degrading itself in eublic estimation. The popular breech of the Legislature refused to prosecute the bribed or the briber s at the last Ips wich elecnou, voided on the greund of cerruytion ; it retused to institute further inquiry into the state a the constituency of that venal borough; but it did not refuse that constituency an; ether typos tunity of again indulging in its habitual impurity. We say habitual impurity, tor ti' lee within the last six years have Ipswich electioas been vended iii consequence of proven corruption. True it may be that there is tin ',soot that the usajoilty of Ipswich voters are litirchasit able ; but the result oi Parriamentary investigations establishes that there is on either side of politics in that notorious borough swim a number of votes to be bought as will at any election enable candidates to purchase their return. Away then with the miserable fallacy that the majority 01 Ipswich electors being pure, ought net to remain unrepresented. They are nut represented; venality turns the scales of Ipswich elections; and vencity alone is therefore represented." '1 he Post expresses its displeasure at the recent conduct of Ministers in the following terms :—" We are far front wishing to be alarmists, or from desiring to ere& e apprehension w.th out abundant and pressing cause for the same; bin this cause we think we see in some of the language lately used by those whose influence we acknowledge, and whose talents we re. spect. We shall explain ourselves by quoting part Of the ob servations of Mr. Labouchere upon the statements lately made by the Prime Minister and the Vice-President of the Board of '1 rade. 'f he inconsistency of hem Majesty's Ministers,' said Mr. Labouchere, • lies in this : that in blinging forward their measures with regard to Wile - they adopted the languag e of those who advocated free trade on the broadest piniciples. 1 hey insisted on the necessity of buying in the cheapest mar kets, and that the eeople should obtain provisions wherever they were able to be procured.' We have not observed that either Sir R. Peel or Mi. Glatistoue, who, it after wards appeared, were the Ministers specially referred to by Mr. Labouchere, took any opportunity trecorrect that bight lion. Gentleman,. or to deny that they had adopted the lan guage of those who advocate free trade on ttse broadest prin ciples.

The lett Sir Walter Scutt, fur instance, as Mr. Lockhart informs us, had not been long In Leland when he became convinced that justice hau nut been dune Its the people. Lord_ %harm:l4e last night, w hen - a question was put to him on the subject of the outrages in the county of Tipperary, said that he had ob-er%etl the prevalence of a better feeling among the tallied gentry of Ireland towards their tenants. • There, however,' said his Lur. ship,. ' still remained evil dispositions productive 01 crime, that were the growth of former bad feelings and wicked inisleatangs, and which nothing but .e continuance of generous treatment and conciliatory conduct on ti e past of those who possessed in fluence, could electut,by remove.' And, added his Lords:tip significantly, while admitting that a very beneficial change had taken place generally in the feelings of the lantiloitis, yet he was compelled to confess that there were some who exer cised the rights of property in that country in a manner which could not be justified Those parties were nut con fined to anyone class of i.olitical opinions ; there were ametigst them not only Tories, but Liberals, at least Liberals in speech, whatever they might be in practice. The system generally, however, has much mitigated.' • Propel ts/ has its duties as well as its rights.

We take the following from the Advertiser.—" One wise and liberal measure regarding cern wood have been worth all the peddling reiluctions upon the innumerable at tides Loin prised under the twill's twill - ) heaps; but the peo l le ale nut so silty as to be idiposed upon by the otter el many trifling ad vantages, while the one substantial biessaig of cheap bread is cruelly withheld front them.
