PEEL belongs the credit of having induced the Americans and the Germans to heap additional duties on the manufactures of Great Britain. Their new restric tions are planned contemporaneously with his, if they be not their offspring. There cannot be a doubt, if the present Ministry had proclaimed the principles of free trade which science has taught and experience has confirmed, and had acted on them, by opening our markets to the wheat and flour of the United States, and to the agricultural produce of Germany, that at least those States would have waited to see the effects of the new system, before they had re enacted and extended the old one. Had Sir R. PEEL, too, instead of haggling with France about duties, lowered our duties on wines, adjusting them on the ad valorem prin ciple, all the South of France would have been in arms to resist new duties on English commodities, and the demand for higher duties on linen yarn would probably not have been acceded to. But what are the principles Sir R. PEEL has recom mended to the world? For months and years our people have begged and prayed for a free trade in food. Sir ROBERT PEEL came into office, in the midst of great public distress, and he has made it his especial business, after inquiring into the causes of that distress, to uphold the food monopoly in spite of the prayer of the people. lie denies, therefore, that this law is the causo of dis tress, and by re-enacting it he has declared to all the world that the principle of protecting native industry, as this species of legislative plunder is called, is the only safe and sound principle of national policy. He has proclaimed by his conduct, that restric tions are the source of national greatness. The same principle runs through his whole tariff. For the first time he has given a general form to the principle of protection as applied to colonies, and established a whole series of differential duties. France, Germany, and the United States, there fore, are imitating his example. They are acting on the worn•out principle of protection, which he has conse crated anew. Ours is the most melancholy suicide that ever a nation was guilty of. Great, powerful, wealthy, and glorious by trade, we have laboured to put a stop to it. We have laid violent hands on the neck of our own paver, and infected other nations with the horrible mono mania of self•destruction. The First Report from Mr. ROEBUCK'S, or the Com promise Committee, was made last night. It stated that JOHN 'WALTER, Esq., having been summoned to attend the Committee, had declined to comply with the sum mons ; and Mr. ROEBUCK moved that Mr. WALTER be called to the bar. The motion was agreed to, and Mr. WALTER ordered to attend this day. Mr. WALTER may be able to give some explanation of his conduct, which will place it in an improved light ; at present, his refusal to attend the Committee seems not to be justified. There is no difference between the constitution and powers of Mr. ROEBUCK'S Committee and other Committees, and attendance - on them has al ways been readily given, because it has always been en forced by the power of the House. Mr. WALTER can not be excused any more than others, and he will have to suffer the consequences of his refusal. He objects to the great powers possessed by the Com mittee, and if he mean to contest and try them by an appeal to the law, should the House commit him for con tempt, if he be ready to suffer martyrdom for the public welfare, we should not deny that he is animated by a legitimate and honourable ambition. But Mr. WALTER has a special objection to the Chairman, who "at one time, in his place in the House, recommended any one who might be attacked in the Times, and did not wish to have the attack repeated, to horsewhip Mr. WALTER." He declines, in truth, to submit to the tri bunal, because the Chairman " has shown undisguised hostility towards him." Unfortunately for Mr. WALTER'S reputation, and perhaps for the purpose ~he has in view, this personal objection neutralizes all the patriotism we had detected in the objection to the powers of the Com mittee. Against the Chairman's hostility he would be sure to find protection from the other members of the Committee, from the House, or, in the last resort, from the public ; but neither the public, the House, nor the other members of the Committee, will justify him for refusing to obey its summons, because he has had, at some former time, a personal dispute, which he remem bers with more keenness than the public, with its Chairman. Mr. WALTER has put himself in the wrong. At pre sent the Chairman of the Committee has only fulfilled his duties ; the violence which Mr. WALTER appre hends has no other existence than in his own imagina tion. The House and the public know nothing of it. He should have waited till Mr. ROE BUCK had committed himself, before appealing from his authority. In the House last night Major BERESFORD bore testimony to the inquiries of the Committee being conducted in a courteous though stringent manner. The world will infer that Mr. WALTER would have met with the same treatment ; and by his refusal to attend, precluding the possibility of any contrary experience, he will appear to have dis obeyed an order of the House of Commons from per sonal pique towards Mr. ROEBUCK. We do not for one moment suppose that Mr. WALTER dreads any disclosures. The apparently frank manner in which he refers to his agent, and expresses a wish to afford the Committee every information, forbids the sus picion that he has any reason to shun the searching in vestigation in which it is engaged. At the same time, the public would have been better satisfied on this head had he as readily obeyed the Committee as he frankly informed it of the name of his agent. It is not yet too late, we presume, for him to retreat, and as his personal obviously outweigh his patriotic motives,) we frankly advise 'him to prepare his apology to the House, and profess his readiness to obey the summons of the Com mittee. We are glad to see that the subject of oaths, including, we presume, the source and character of the obligation they impose on men, is to be investigated by the House of Lords. No subject is snore worthy of a solemn in qrtiry. Upon it rests the whole administration of the law; and it will not tend to the future security of either Us or property if the question, now that it is mooted, be not probed to the bottom. To have the nature of an oath clearly understood, and the obligation it imposes brought forcibly home to the conscience, so that it shall exist, and bo felt at all times and by all men, independently of any vanishing and changing forms, and independently of any inculcated, and perhaps erroneous religious opinions, their Lordships must dive deep into the mind of man. They ought to call before them those who have studied the question, and who can point cut the eternal and universal (so far as the globe is eternal I I and man is known) source of that obligation, which, in con junction with all creeds, false and true, and at all times and places, men have felt and acknowledged to speak the truth and the truth only. To do their work effectually, the Lords must inquire into the meaning of the word belief," and the state of mind which that word expresses must be exactly defined. As the in quiry is forced on by a desire to give re lief to tender consciences, and to those who entertain peculiar thoughts and principles, some per sons of that description will, of course, be examined, and they will be the best able to explain the source of their objections to comply with the injunctions of the law. Of its mighty arch, an oath, or something equiva lent, is the key-stone; and we feel assured that their Lordships, should they prosecute their examination fear lessly, are likely to clear up many doubts, establish some important truths, and promote the advancement of cor rect knowledge. As the distress throughout the country is becoming every day more alarming, without any prospect of relief for the season, it is the imperative duty of Parliament, before it separates, to make some provision for contin gencies during the vacation. Should the crops turn out light, and the dullness of trade continue—two circum stances extremely probable—a fearful responsibility would rest on that Government which could contemplate such results without obtaining from the Legislature the means of at least mitigating the evils. It is useless to say that the SOVEREIGN and her Ministers, and Parliament, can do little or nothing for the relief of such a vast starving population, and that they must trust to time and Providence for the alleviation of their sufferings, Parliament has interfered repeatedly under circum stances not half so afflicting as the present, or as the future promises to be ; and when it is now placed beyond doubt that the new Corn-law will effectually keep up the prices of grain to nearly the old standard, it becomes the duty of Sir ROBERT PEEL to follow the example of his predecessors, and obtain from Parliament the• power to meet any unseen emergency. The Member for Aberdeen h as g i ven not i ce of a motion on the subject for Thursday next, and will move that it be expedient to vest in her MAJESTY, with the advice of her Privy Council, power to reduce or discontinue, should cimunistances so require, the duties which regu late the importation of foreign corn. No proposition could be better timed, or more reasonable, and we cannot discover what objection can be raised to it by any party. If, fortunately, the state of trade should im prove, and the country be blessed with a favourable har vest, the authority thus entrusted to the Crown would not be brought into operation, and, even under any eir.. cumstances, it would be optional for the Minister to use it or not as he might see meet. It is true, that without such a provision he might advise the Crown to issue an Order in Council to that effect, and trust to a Bill of In demnity ; but why allow a chance for such an unusual 'jilt Oulu LONE lON ! .., TUESDAY IIORNIN( 31, JUNE - 28, 1842.

It would be some consolation, also, to the poor to learn that their sufferings occupied the earnest atten tion of their rulers, and that they were not denied the last consolation of the wretched—the hope even of dis tant relief. We cannot think so badly of the gentlemen of England as to believe that they will resist such a measure for their own personal interests, or that they will be reluctant to entrust Sir ROBERT' PEEL with power like that so often conferred on former Ministers. Whatever may be the result, however, we trust the re presentatives of the people will do their duty. Let every Member who feels for the distresses of his fellow-crea tures be in his place on Thursday, and support a mea sure which can do no harm, and which will, at least, tend to soothe the distresses of a starving population. We have before us a report of a trial in the Queen's Bench, Dublin, on Monday last, singularly illustrative of the way in which justice, or rather law, is adminis tered in Ireland, and of the necessity that exists for a speedy amendment of the infamous law of libel. The trial in question is entitled " The QUEEN V. CHARLES G. DI:FrY, the proprietor of the Belfast Vindicator," for an alleged libel which appeared in that Journal re lative to the trial and conviction of a Catholic, named HUGHES, of the murder of a Mr. POWELL. HUGHES was twice tried and acquitted for this murder. The Jury on both occasions consisted of Protestants and Catholics—the former in the proportion of two to one of the latter. His acquittal did not satisfy the law offi cers of the Crown. Ho was put a third time on his trial, and an Orange Jury packed for the purpose of finding him guilty. He was found guilty, as a matter of course, and hanged. Nearly at the same time four Orangemen were tried for the murder of a Ca tholic. The evidence of their guilt was as clear as the s un at noonday ; but here, again, the law officers of the Crown packed an Orange jury, denied to the friends of the murdered man the right of challenge, and obtained for the prisoners an instant verdict of acquittal ! Now, if ever there were cases calling for the strong reprehen sion of the public press, they were these which we have just cited. They were enough to rouse the indignation of all honest men. They revealed to the Catholics of Ireland, that the times of Lord NORBURY were revived, when there was one law for them and another for their oppressors. Commenting upon them, the Editor of the Vindicator published the following article, made the sub ject of a prosecution by the Irish Government : "Francis Hughes has been tried for the murder of Mr. Powell, for the third time, and a conviction at length obtained against him. On his guilt or innocence it is not our province to pronounce ; but we do affirm, without fear ing that any conscientious man in the empire will differ from us, that he has not had a fair and on partial trial, such as the law of England intends that every prisoner shall receive. He has not been tried indifferently, as a person under the protection of the law, for whom the Judge is counsel, and the executive an unprejudiced arbitrator ; but be has been tried as an Irish Catholic, whose guilt ordinarily ap pears to be assumed, and whose conviction seems to be desired. This case of Hughes, and the monstrouis injustice which it in volves, may be full understood where the system under which we live in / Ulster is not known ; we must contrast it with that of the prisoner's for the murder of APArdle. Both are fresh on the public mind, and it is impossible that any two cases could better illustrate a system than they do the one against which w e now testify. In the case of M'Ardle, four Orangemen were tried for the murder of a Catholic; the Jury in the box, at the time the case commenced, consisted of eleven Protestants and one Catholic. The agent for the next akin to the murdered man objected to several of the jurors, but the Crown counsel insisted upon retaining them all without exception. In Armagh a Catholic was to be tried for the murder of a Protestant, and when the case commenced a Jury was also in the box which had tried two or three cases already ; it consisted of ten Protestants and two Catholics, and it was proposed to the Crown to follow the practice that had been pursued in Down, and retain the Jury already sworn ; but the Crown Counsel decided,y refused to adopt the system in the ease of the Catholic which they had adopted in the case of the Protestant. ,‘ What is the meaning of this scoundrel system? What can it mean but one or other of these two things, either the insolent and atrocious libel that Catholics are unworthy of being trussed on their oaths, or the infernal principle that it is nut desirable to do them justice? We cannot mince the matter; it comes positively to this—we care not which horn of the dilemma is chosen, but one of them is inevitable." In England no honest man could bo found to affirm that the system here exposed is not a " scoundrel system" —a system to which no body of men ought to submit. But the Irish Orangemen and the Irish law-officers of the Crdwn are of a (Efferent opinion. Chief Justice PENNEFATIIER, who presided at the trial of the Vindi cator on Monday, took care to lay down the law in such a way as not only to secure a verdict for the Attorney- General, but to establish the doctrine that the public Press enjoyed no right whatever of calling in question the public conduct of public men. We quote an ex tract from his Lordship's charge, as reported in the Dublin Evening Mad : " Gentlemen, with the truth or falsehood of these charges you or I have nothing to do here. This may seem somewhat strange in your eyes, but it is the law, and it is common sense. If a man be guilty of any crime or misconduct, by which he can be made answerable to the law, there are the proper tribunals to bring him before, where he will be tried and made answer able if he be guilty; and where he will be acquitted if he be not ; but no man has a right, because he is the proprietor of a printing press and types, to set himself up as a tribunal to pro nounce upon the guilt of his fellow-subject.. If the Queen's Attorney-General, or her Crown Solicitors, have misconducted themselves, there are, as I have already stated, the proper tri bunals to bring them before, where they will be made answer able; but I would be glad to know by what authority the author of this libel has set himself up to pronounce a verdict against them. It was open to Mr. Duffy or any other member of the community, to petition the House of Commons, if he had any means of substantiating the gross charges which he has put forward in this publication. He might have got redress if he had looked for it in the legitimate way. There is no man in the country against whom the doors of justice are closed; but who, I would ask, has made the man who printed and published this libel a tribunal before whom the Attorney-General and others concerned in the administration of law, are to be called ? No such right exists on the part of any individual, let him be ffigh or low, newspaper editor or other person ; and do you think, Gentlemen, if the Attorney-General, and his brethren, thought proper to appear before Mr. Duffy, that they would get a fair and impartial trial? You may judge of that fact from the nature of the publication which forms the subject of the prosecution. The law which forbids the inquiry into the truth or falsehood of public libel is not new—it has existed upwards of 500 years, and we cannot change it in this place." Chief Baron PENNEFATIIER told the Jury at the open ing of his charge, that it was for them to find, both upon the facts and law of the case. lie did not wish to bias their judgment in any way, and, therefore, we suppose to help them to come to an impartial verdict, be thus commented upon one portion of the alleged libel, after gravely reading it to them : Now, Gentlemen, was there ever a more diabolical libel than that ? In my opinion, never ; and yet this is said to be an inno cent publication. lam not to decide the question, but lam to give you my opinion, and that is, that this is a gross and infa mous libel. Ido not think this is mincing the matter. There is certainly no mincing of matters on the part of the Learned Chief Baron. Nor shall there be a greater mincing of matters on the part of the public Press, which has duties to discharge as high, as impera tive, and as essential to the freedom or the subject and the welfare of society as any which devolve upon his Lordship and his Learned Brethren. We pronounce the law, as laid down by the Learned Chief Baron, as law only fit for Ireland—as law every day repudiated by the Judges in Westminster-hall. Public men are public property ; and it is the right of the Press to comment upon their public conduct whensoever such con duct may appear reprehensible, provided the terms employed are not calculated to provoke abreach of the peace. The Learned Chief Baron con temptuously alludes to the impudence of the proprietor of types and a printing press setting himself up to judge of the guilt of his fellow-subjects. His Lordship treads on ticklish ground. If the most material part of the truth is thus to be kept buck in order to cast ridicule upon the Press, did it not occur to the Learned Chief Baron that, by moans quite as fair and as legitimate, the Press might retaliate upon the Bench blow for blow with still more crushing effect? Judge PENNEFATTIER'S charge has convinced us that learned heads may make impudent speeches, albeit surmounted with a horsehair covering. The Lord Mayor of Dublin made a great noise some years ago about amending the law of libel. How is it, that, amid such a persecution of the Liberal Press of Ireland, we hear nothing of it now ? We hear of no thing now but prosecutions of the Belfast Vindicator, the Northern Whig, and other Liberal Papers, and yet Mr O'CoNmELL is as silent as the grave. In what way are we—in what way is the Press of Ireland, to interpret this strange silence ? Rumours have reached us with re ference to it, but at, present we forbear to give them utterance. We will allow Mr. O'CONNELL time to ex plain his own conduct upon this matter. We have Madrid Papers, by Express, to the 20th inst., but they contain no news. On that day the Mi nisters presented their programme to the Cortes. Madrid Bourse of the 18th—Five per Cents., with 11 Coupons, 30} for cash. The whole of the French Journals have been receivo3, but with the exception of one incident, which may operate to the prejudice of the Ministers at the ensuing elections, they contain no news of political importance. This is the arrival at Bordeaux of the Captain of the Deux Sceurs, from the coast of Africa, where he complains that his vessel was detained, and searched in a very in solent manner, by a British cruiser engaged in the suppression of the slave-trade. lie adds that some of the British sailors employed in assisting the officers to search his vessel, stole a quantity of wine, for which he obtained no redress, although he complained of it the next day to a British officer. Of course the truth in this case is grossly exaggerated, but the fact that such a statement gains credit in France, ought to put our Go vernment on its guard how it exercises this right of search. Why are not French officers kept on board our cruisers to search French vessels ? Such a suggestion was made so early as. January last in this Journal, as the only way of preventing international quarrels. The Semaphore• has the following letter:— 1414aNDRIA, JUN; 6.—lt is positively aeSrvied here that the English post-office ha; resolved that the India mail shall cease to pass through rirance, and take another route. The route by Trieste, Cologne, and Ostend to England,,is spoken of. On the arrival of the mail from Suez, aat amer will be dispatched, it is said, to Corfu, from the e two steamers will be despatched, one to Malta, the other to Trieste. It is asserted, tt.at by the way of Trieste the mail will be re ceived in England four or live days sooner than by way of Marseilles, and that arrangements for the execution of this plan are now making in England. By these means, say the English, the delay which the Paris Post-office has caused in the delivery of several despatehes will be prevented." On the remonstrance of the English Consul, Meheinet Ali had ordered the officers of the Custom-house not to demand in future the additional duty of two per cent. on goods imported between the 23d of November, 1841, and the 26th of May, Its4l. The merchants are rejoiced at the conclusion of this Conatitutionnel. SUMMARY OF NikaWS AND public 49inlittOn. " Who runs may read." roa.ExGw. The leading articles of the Paris Journals are, with one exception, on the approaching elections, and on this subject, the Debats is almost the only journal that treats it in a gene ral way. The others confine themselves so much to person ality asagards the merits of the different candidates, that the articles Us scarcely readable, except by those who take an im mediate interest in these personal conflicts. Some of the Opposition journals publish a letter from the owners of a trading vessel, the Deux Sours, which has just ar rived at Bordeaux from the coast of Africa, complaining of what they call a violent outrage by the English ship of war Mada gascar, and enclosing a report of the ocurrence by the captain of the Deux Sours. Asthe treaty for the right of search is one of the great guns of the Opposition against the Ministry, this communication has been eagerly laid hold of as an additional means of excitement, and the electors are assed whether they will send to the new Chamber can didates who support a Cabinet which had signed such a treaty, and which has seen restrained from ratifying it only by the force of public opinion? The report in question states, that the Deux Sieurs, whilst on the coast of Africa, was boarded by the first lieutenant of the Madagascar, who came witn not less than live boats' crews, and pistol and sword in hand, ransacked the vessel, examined her papers, and with great violence and insolence demanded information as to the use of certain ar ticles, such as muskets, &c., which came under his eye. When the English had lett the vessel it was found ghat twenty cases of preserved meats, some clothing and other articles, had been stolen, and that on the following day the Captain of the Mada gascar, having sent on board a surgeon to prescribe for a pilot of the Deux Sosurs, who was ill, the Captain complained of the theft to the midshipman who accompanied the surgeon, and instead of meeting with redress received for answer that the thing was possible, as the best sailors were sometimes the greatest thieves. It is reported, says the Courrier Francais, that the Belgian Government is about to submit to the Chamber of Repre• aentatives a• proposal for a loan of forty millions, to be em ployed in the exec u ti on o f th e Z e l zac t e ca n a l, the establish , ment of a line of steamboats between Ostend and Dover, and the completion of the railroads. The Commerce gives the following as an extract of a letter from Monte Video, March 19 :—" An English Company, hav ing in view the appropriation of the trade of Paraguay, has obtained the exclusive privilege for 15 years of the steam navi gation of the rivers of that country under the British flag, and without the payment of any duties. It is negotiating a similar treaty at Buenos Ayres." Letters from Madrid of the 20th inst. state that Ministers had communicated their programme to the Cortes, the chief features of which were adherence to the law of September, and the rigorous repression of all disturbances at the point of the bayonet. A private letter from Madrid gives the following rather favourable account of the Spanish Ministers Before the affair of La Granja General Redd was supposed to be an abso- lutist, but since that time his conversion to the popular side has nut been doubted. Count de Almodovar is a perfect noble gentleman, his manners aro grave and dignified. He is de votedly attached to his country, and will never sacrifice her in terests to any consideration whatever. He is supposed not to be actuated by any hostile feeling towards France. Senor Zumalacarreguy is a man of integrity, but more fitted for a Court of Justice than for the Cabinet. Don Ramon Cala trava, on his appointment as Minister of Finance, assembled all the persons who transact money matters with Government, and the explanations he gave were generally satisfactory. Admiral Capaz is the most stirring and ambitious of the Cabinet, and perhaps the only good speaker among the new Ministers. Senor Torres Solaro is a barrister, and of a mild and conciliating character. The Sentinelle of Toulon, of the 221 inst., says:—`= The Prince de Joinville will lease Toulon to-m irrow, in the Belle Poole. The squadron will proceed to the coast of Italy, and remain out about two months. On its return into port, several ships will be commissioned in the roadstead, and the Belle Poule will receive a special mission." The Journui de Frankfort says that the Emperor of Russia, willing to signalise the anniversary of the marriage of the Grand Duke Cwsarevitch, and heir to the Empire, by an act of clemency, has granted commie ations of punishment to 75 exiles sentenced to hard labour for life in Siberia, but favour ably spoken of by the Governor-General for good conduct, and various immunities to 85 colonised criminal!, of whom 13 had already obtained permission to enter the army in Siberia. A German paper announces the arrival at Berlin of M. Schmid, burgomaster of Bremen, for the purpose of entering into negotiations with the Prussian Government on the subject of the accession of the three Hanseatic towns to the German Customs Union. Should this accession take place, the Princes, who are members of the Union, have declared that they will guarantee the loan of thirty millions of crowns, re quired by the city of Hamburgh for rebuilding the portion which was lately burnt. A letter from Mannheim, June 21, announces the arrival in that town of Count d'Appony, the Austrian Ambassador at the Court of France, with his family. The King of Bavaria arrived at Florence, from Rome, on the 16th inst., and on the same day proceeded to Modena. PARLIAMENTARY. The Public Houses' ii;if was read a third time, in the House of Lords last night, and passed. Lord Denman moved the second reading of the General Affirmations B.il, and explained that the object of the Bill was to enable persons who, like the Quakers, conscientiously de cline to take an oath, to give testimony on affirmation. The Noble and Learned Lord gave a succinct history of the triumph of the persevering Quakers over the persecution they had been exposed to on account of refusing to take oath•, and de scribed the temporal consequences of false swearing as the true source of the responsibility which a man, in a witness-box, felt to tell the truth. Lords Wicklow, Galloway, and Abinger opposed the Bill. Lords Campbell and Brougham supported it ; but the latter suggested it should be referred to a Committee, to investigate it. On that the Bishop of London proposed that the whole subject should be referred to a Committee, which was acceded to, and the Bill withdrawn. The Rev. Prelate is to make a motion on the subject this day. 'their Lordships adjourned at Half past Seven. In the Commons the first business of ar.y interest was a re port made by Mr. Roebuck, from the Compromise Committee that Mr. Walter had declined to attend it on summons, and an order made by the House, on Mr. Roebuck's motion, that Mr. Walter attend at the bar of the House this day. From the con versation which ensued it appears that this Committee carries on its inquiries with closed doors, having only the witnesses under examination present, and rarely giving in formation to any party against whom anything was deposed in the Committee. Mr. Bailie Cochrane and Major Here=ford tioth stated that they had wished to be present in the Com mittee, but had not been permitted. Mr. Roebuck laid down the principle that as the House had entrusted the Committee with power, it should rely also on its discretion in condncting the inquiries. In reply to Mr. Hawes, Lord Stanley explained that there existed in Canada an Act of Assembly, authorising the Go vernor to give up to the United States authorities all fugitives from justice charged with specified crimes, and that under the authority of this Act a man of colour named Nelson Haggett, charged with robbery, had been so given up. The papers in the case are to be laid before the House. In answer to questions, Sir James Graham stated that he had declined to receive a deputation on the subject of the Poor laws from Plymouth, and he would state to-day whether or not he had declined to receive a deputation from Brighton. 11r. Milner Gibson was anxious to have the tariff proceeded with before the Poor-law, as the latter subject could not be fairly discussed under the charge that by discussing it Members were delaying the tariff. It was settled on this account that the tariff should be proceeded with the first thing tiiis clay. The debate on the Poor -law Bill was resumed by Mr. Fiel den, and after he and Mr. Lawson had spoken, the House di vided, and agreed to resolve itself into a Committee by 156 to 37. In the Committee Mr. Wal:ley objected to the first clause, and moved that it be postponed. This motion was opposed by Sir J. Graham, and lost by 206 to 74. There were two or three other divisions in the course of the evening, though, in the end, the Committee got through the first clause. The debate was like the other debates on the Poor-law, distin guished for some personalities, and we recommend to the readers the amusing exposure of Sir E. Knatchbell by Mr. T. Dun combo, and of Mr.l.errand by Sir James Graham. Shortly after twelve o'clock the House resumed, and at a Quarter past Twelve o'Ciock adjourned. Puraac . The Times says:—" Among the remarkable events of the present session of Parliament has been the development of a strong sympathy between Mr. Roebuck and Sir Robert Peel. Upon the income-tax, upon the tariff, and new more than ever upon the Poor-law, the Premier has been fortunate enough to meet with the most decided support and the most encouraging commendations from the somewhat un-Conservative Member for Bath ; while the assistance which the Member for Bath has received from the Premier in the establishment of his new Par. liamentary inquisition has been equally cordial. This peculiar and unexpected conjunction is certainly not the least striking among the signs of the times ; whether it is observed with the most satisfaction at the Carlton Club or at Bath is more than we can pretend to say. Mr. Roebuck distinguished himself greatly in the debate upon the Poor-law on Friday, proving by the extent of the encomiums which he lavished upon the New Poor-law the truth of the observation, that your pretender to extreme liberality is always a tyrant in hisheart. He flatters the people to oppress them ; he would sacrifice every thing above himself for no other purpose than to trample upon everything below." _ . The Chronicle remarks, with reference to Lord De Grey's dismissal from the Irish Viceroyalty :—" There is no longer, we believe, any doubt that Lord De Grey has been dismissed from the Lord Lieutcnantcy of Ireland. The Tory papers have already raised a cry of mourning. The Dublin Evening Mail protesting that' the removal of the Noble Lord is a curse to the country. This break-up of the Irish Government does not surprise us. It is a result inevitable from the system upon which Sir Robert Peel determined to administer the affairs of that country. Placed in the difficult position of being obliged either to propitiate the ultra-Tories, and employ the old instru ments of the Orange party as his tools, or, discarding these, to govern in the spirit of moderation, that we do believe is more consonant with his own sense of justice and sound policy, the Right Hon. Baronet determined upon making the experiment of endeavouring to reconcile both. He sent Lord Eliot, as a pledge of his moderation, to Ireland; he selected Brewster to calm the apprehensions of his partisans in Ireland . Ever since the appointment of Lord De Grey the effect of this timid expe riment has been a perpetual conflict o f the different elements of which the Government was constituted—Sir Edward Sugden and Lord Eliot supporting a more liberal administration of affairs in opposition to the extravagance of Blackburne and Brewster. Poor Lord de Grey chose to take part with the latter, while a greater than Lord De Grey— Sir Robert Peel—. favours the former." The following observations are from the Herald :—" Mr. Thomas Duncombe's motion for the adjournment of the Poor law Continuation Bill until next session—for such, we pre sume, is the amount of the Hon. Gentleman's somewhat ob • scurely worde d ex i st i ng proposal—seems to u s , i n the con dition of public business ut Parliament, and considering the present advanced period of the session, a very reasonable pro position ; and so we are convinc e d Si r R o b ert P ee l hi mse lf would think, were it not that his compliance therewith might be construed and tortured int o an expectat i on t h at next ses sion the Bill would be Produced in a state much •less offensive and repulsive to its opponents. Sir Robert Peel will not ac cede to Mr. Duncombe's re quest after the slanderous charges and ill-tempered insinuations of that most acerb and atrabi linus pair of legislators, Mr. Roebuck and Lord Howick, whose daily food seems to be gall and wormwood, and whose only certain rule of conduct is to differ from and abuse every one else." The Post remarks as follows on the recent change of opinion among the Tories on the New Poor-law question :—" We believe the Poor-law question to be one of the most extreme difficulty, and we are unwilling to assert a very confident judg•. ment upon the merits of the new system, taking it as a whole. This, however, we know, that whether the new system be per fection or be not, the general tone of the gentry when addressing the constituencies last summer was not favourable to the new system. And knowing this, NI e regard with far more alarm the impression which may be created among the constituencies that their Conservative Representatives are not true to them, than we do the necessity of postponing the legislative approba tion of the system under a Conservative Government. We feel a far deeper interest in the character of the Conservative gentry of this country, than we do in the success of any mea sure or of any Administration. Uphold the character of that gentry for high honour, and incapability of swerving from their promises, expressed or implied, and all will be well, in spite of temporary clouds; but impair that charactec, and give the people reason to believe that the gentry are not to be depended upon when a party interest interferes, then indeed farewell to England's greatness !" The Advertiser thus alludes to the present distressed condi tion of the country :—" The distress of the %%hole labouring classes of this country has now arrived at such a frightful climax, that it is more than beginning to be admitted by all parties even by the landlords themselves—that something practical must be done for the alleviation of that distress, and this, cer tainly, before the setting in of the rapidly ensuing winter. Luxury is not such a positive good as starvation is a positive evil, and for whole bodies of men, agricultural as well as manu facturing—ploughmen as well as mechanics—strong, active, energetic-minded men to live with the prospect of finding no market for their industry, or of being inadepately requited for their industry when employed—of finding that themselves and wives and families are famishing in the midst of an apparent plenty, and this obviously iecause of the institution of evil-laws and their bon- substitution by good ones—this, we say, is a state of things not the ❑:ost pleasant to look forward to, as cir cumstances to be productive of their inevitable consequences in the course of a few months, and least pleasant, of course, to those possessing property." MONEY— 'X'AZADE —COMMERCE. The Brighton Committee appointed to watch ilia progress of the Poor-law Amendment Bill, met in that town on Thurs day. Captain Pechell, who voted against. the second reading, signified his intention of dividing the House at every stage of the Bill, however factious it might appear. Lord Hervey said he was not opposed to the whole Bill, but should support a motion of Mr. Darby, Member for East Sussex, to exclude towns go verned by local acts from the operation of the Bill. There were about 400 persons present. Arrangements are now makinc , in the Earl of Balearras's coal mines, near Preston, whereby the working of females will be discontinued altogether. In answer to the memorial of the Chairman and Com mittee of the Steam Shipowners' Association, representing up wards of 80,000 tons of London British steam-shipping, and which prayed for an exemption from the proposed duty of 2s. a ton on all coal exported to foreign countries, the '1 reasury Commissioners state that there appears no just cause in the reasons assigned for granting or further considering the appli cation, which would undoubtedly result in great loss to the re venue. At Bolton, Huddersfield, Halifax, and Manchester business is slack and limited. At Leeds and Padiham trade is in a worse state, and at Leicester sales are at the lowest. At Rochdale there have been good markets. At the anniversary dinner of the London Institution, held last week, the Report stated that more than 3,000 patients had been relieved since its establishment in 1840.

Bank Shares 1 64 Wo have seen an account in a Sunday paper of a gross insult passed upon the Queen by an officer bearing her Majesty's commission, who, it is said, was lately made a Commander of the Batk and Aide-de-Camp to the Queen for his gallant conduct in Canada. The account is confirmed by a Morning Contemporary, in which it is affirmed that the language used was even more offensive than that attributed to the officer. Notw►thstanding these authorities, however, we must be permitted to doubt that the son of a highly respected Nobleman, and one holding such a high rank at Court, could so far forget the usual gallantry of a British officer, and his duty to his Sovereign, as to be guilty of conduct so disgraceful. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS • CITY, MONDAY EVENING. The Funds, which had been very steady the whole day, but without any transactions of moment, suddenly became ex tremely fiat ; and although the last official price for Consols was 91i, sellers for the opening, ex dividend, some sales were made, after business hours, at 91 ; Reduced, 924 91/1 ; Bank Stock, 1664 1674 ; Exchequer Bills, Old, 44 46 ; New, 40 42 premium. Foreign Securities are also dull, but prices, except for Bra zilian, were not materially varied. The accounts from the latter country are not such as would appear to warrant a de cline, although some unpleasant feeling was stated to exist on the subject of the slave question, which was solely caused by the Anti- Slavery Society. The propositions sent out from this country, offering to make concessions in the rates of duty now payable if a relaxation were granted in the slave trade, had not conic on for discussion, but they would doubtless be granted by the Exe cutive, though the tone of the lira er classes appeared to be ini mical to them. The closing prici s wore :—Belgian, 1 02 103; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 52a 524; the Fire per Cents., 1(04 1014 ; Danish, 804 814; Brazilian, 64 66; Mexican was quoted 37% 37a.

All the Bonds are quoted lower, and after the lists were pub lished time bargains were made even below the quotations an nexed. Colombian, were last marked 224 224; Peruvian, 17 18; Portuguese Five per Cents., 354 36 ; the Three per Cents. ' 20-C214 ; Spanish Five per Cents., 21 214; and the Three per Cents., 22j 22 1 . The produce markets were more animated than is usual on a Monday, and a greater disposition, for business was evinced. From the uncertainty in which this description of business has been for some time, in consequence of the discussions on the tariff being now at au end; it may be expected that a decided im provement will take place, as the generality of dealers must necessarily be very short of stock. (From The Sun of Last Night.) . , The English market has been extremely firm the whole morning, and Consols are 91i buyers for the opening ex dividend ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 911 91a ; Three-and a-Half per Cents. Reduced, 1001 1001 ; Bank Stock, 164 167 i ; India. Bonds, '23 ; Exchequer Bills, Old, 44 46 ; and New, 40 42 prem. Dutch Five per Cents. have been sold at 100 i, 101* ; and Brazilian has declined from 66 to 641 A, but without any other reason apparently than the great disinclination to deal. Mexican is quoted at 37k. In Shares business has been very limited, anti confined to Great Western Half-Shares, 61i 614 ; South Western, 60i ; Eastern Counties, 9 1 4 ; Brighton, 35k; and Edinburgh and Glasgow, 46i. Colombian Bonds are quoted at 224 ; Portuguese Threes, 21i ; Spanish Five per Cents., 2l ; and the Three per Cents., 22g. The Express packet has arrived, with accounts from Rio to the 28th of April. The demand for European goods had somewhat improved, but the stocks of them were still far too heavy to admit of any advance in prices, and there being no certainty against fresh importations, merchants could not be induced to enter into transactions by the present low-rates, but would only purchase for their immediate wants, conse quently the largestpart of them was held on consignees' account. The state of the weather having been extremely favourable, it was expected that the forthcoming crop of coffee would be much larger than usual. The last showed a great increase over those of former years, but the exces sive rains so deteriorated the quality, as to resider the larger portion of it unfit for exportation, to the serious loss of the planters. This article was extensively introduced here, by the way of the Cape of Good Hope, and although not a very great favourite for consumption by itself, on account of its de licate flavour, which by many dealers was denominated " weak ness," yet it has been gradually gaining ground in public esti mation. The operation of the new duty will doubtless affect this description, and allow much of it to be used, by which the prices of all kinds will be materially kept down. The rate of Exchange , which had been materially depressed, had somewhat recovered, being 27 V z 27i, or a trifle below what it stood at for a long time. There are numerous arrivals from all qrarters, but of old dates, especially from the Australian colonies. Letters from New Zealand do not give such satisfactory ac counts, as the last would have led to the anticipation of. The colonists were still going on favourably, and rapidly forming new settlements ; but the natives, who hitherto had been ex ceedingly quiet, and apparently inclined to be peaceable, had lately shown a feeling of hostility to the Europeans. It is stated they do not understand, or approve of the lands, which they have always considered to be their own, being appropriated by foreigners, and seemed disinclined to abide by the arrange ments entered into by their chiefs. Alt hough this cannot pre vent, yet it may greatly retard, the progress of the settlers ; but it was expected that the differences might be shortly arranged.

Sza,—On looking over the division in the House of Com mons on Mr. Ward's motion for the introduction of the Ballot, I cannot perceive the names of the Members fur Plymouth ort either side of th. question ; can you inform the electors of Ply mouth if they paired off with any other Members, or give their reasons for not voting am, Sir, AN ELEC i OR OF PLYMOUTH. [We cannot answer the questions.l THE GENERAL DISTRESS. TO THE EDITOR OF TUE SUN. Sin,—ln times of distress like the present, surely it is the imperative duty of the Bishops, who are enjoying large incomes from the country, and seats in the House of L ords , to step for ward like men and Christians, if they expect it should be be lieved that they are sincere in their religious professions, and do their own duty, and also boldly point out to the aristo cratic part of the Legislature, ns that they are acting contrary to their duty to Goci and man, in rnataining those cruel and wicked laws by which the poor man is deprived of a market for his labour, and cannot obtain the least sustenance till the rich man has levied a heavy tax upon it to increase his enormous wealth. Nor are the clergy, in their respective parishes, less blameable for not lending their assistance to endeavour to re move such destructive enactments. If the dignitaries of the Church, blinded by what they consider their own interest, still choose to neglect their duty, th e ti me may s h ort l y come when the Almighty may make use of the People to call them to strict and just account. By inserting the above you will oblige a constant reader of your excellent paper, who is, Bi - r, your obedient servant, W. IL GERMAN OPERA.—the present week is the last of the performance at Covent-garden of the German company, which numbers among its members names of such eminence as Lutzer and Staudigl. The excellence of these artistes is too well known to render comment necessary. It will be enough to say that Meyerbeer's linguenots will be , ' performed on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, Beethoven's on Tuesday, and the Frieschutz on Thursday,—while on Saturday a variety of entertainments is promised. With so much talent as this company possesses, and with musical attractions of so high an order, it is much to be regretted that public patronage has not hitherto been commensurate with its exertions ; but the opportunity still exists of evincing that German music and German singers are appreciated and understood in this country. Great praise is cue to the efforts of Herr Staudigl, on whose sole responsibility rests the undertaking of the present week, and who voluntarily incurs the risk of great loss, rather than witness the suffer ing of the numerous perions dependent on the success of the theatre. The example of self-sacrifice, so nobly set by Herr Staudigl, has been followed b y most of the principal performers, who, in rendering their services, seek no personal advan tage. The p u bli c w ill d ou b t l ess sympathise with this feeling, and make the l as t wee k o f th e German Company as memorable for its success as those which preceded it for the reverse. REMOVAL or TIIE UNEMPLOYED.—We understand that nearly 2,000 persons are now on the Leeds overseers' books for r emova l t o th e i r res p ec tive parishes in the agricul tural districts. This is found to be the only method of re lieving the poor-rates, and throwing the responsibility of sup porting the poor on the landed interest, whose oppressive legis lation has reduced them to their present state of appalfin distress. —Lead Times, SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY. The betting yesterday was not heavy—on the con trary, the amount laid out in the course of the afternoon was small ia the aggregate compared w ith former years, but it ranged over, all the events now on the tapis, and promises to mend. Several changes were made in the prices of the principal favourites ; for instance, for the Liverpool Cup, Forester, an Irish horse, trod closely upon the heels of Heslington, whose victory la Newcastle, although apparently achieved without difficulty, was far from being a bloodless one ; nevertheless he s tands at an improved quotation, and is in force. Rhodanthe and Prince Caradoc are also backed for this race. For the Goodwood Cup the Squire, having qualified at NeA castle for the 51b. allowance, and run a good race, has a string party, and is fist in the throng; nei:her Aliddleham, Nautilus, or Ileeswing are in muchdemand at present. The Goodwood Stakes, betting el confined to five horses, whose prices will be found b elow; all of them were in favour with select parties.
