SATURDAY MORNING, MAY 28, 1842. It was elicited last night from Sir ROBERT PEEL, by Mr. liumE, that a sum of money had been sent, or as fir R. PEEL expressed it, some temporary advances have been made, by the GOVeruinent' to Paisley, to re lieve ihe urgent distress of the people. Before the Go vernment took such an extcaordinary step, the misery must have been.extcetue. We do not blame it for re lieving a little of the distress which it causes, but that it is obliged to take on itself—havingno funds of its own, and being obliged to le'vy taxes for every farthing expends— the responsibility of providing for a consider able number of the people, is a str;king proof of the errors of its system. The whole purport and 'object of Gtivernment is changed by acting on the principle of mo nopoly, and what is falsely called protection. Instead of the whole people equally eont_.lbuting to the support of • the Government for the common good, the Government is obliged to support some ,of the people. This is the consequence of ac:ing on a false and erroneous theory. As the Government will take from the Paisley weavers to give to the landlords, it is now obliged to take f.-om the landlords, or some other class, to give to the Paisley weavers. It is thus made plain that • Sir R. PZEL'S plan of protecting one interest and another interest by high duties, con, wally involves, to a cer tain extent, a rt.-3ishibution by the Government of the property of the people. It is falsely called ConservaLve —it. is truly revolutionary, _ . • ----- - Mr. IfumE, we are glad to r2e, has given notice that he will on Monday bring the matter under the considera tion of the house. We teust that those Members who have a sincer e and thorough conviction of the justice and pulky of the principles of free tradeovi!l take the op portunity o f proving to Sir IL PEEethat the people do nut need his spurious charity, if he would give them justice. They must prove to him, also, that he is seek ing by his dishonest course and begging-letters the surest means to degrade and pauperise the people, by accustoming them to look for support to eleemosynary aid instead of their own exertions. When Sir , ROBERT PEEL refers, in the same breath, to Hamburgh, and the distress of our people, soliciting charity for both, lie overlooks the dis tinction between the two cases. The tiro at Ham burgh is an awful visitation,• which may not occur again in a thousand years ; the distress of .c our discuss people ilhal is almost a periodical visitation—a and while subscriptions to rebuild Hambuq, h i will have b . - a ‘ nu tendency to r e -ki n dl e fir e s; or make more on l t r Units necessary, subscripti o ns to relieve distress tendency to augment demands on charity, and require larger an d l arg e r contributions. This distinction must be pressed on 11. FEEL and the House of Commons on Monday, and through them on the country. Charity cannot be too much admired when she biucls up wound s and heals the broken-her-fed, When she follie.vs in theArain of just'ee, she is most lovely. ; but bilUdMtun soft and gentle, too yielding ancllind, not to inflict much injury tvlien she dispossesses Justice and takes her pact. Tile assertion of the free-traders is. that the protective system is inflicting injury on the com munity ; they point to Stockport and Paisley, and to the general distress, as the proofs of their assertion; and Sir RoBEItT PEEL is about, by the employment of charity, to suborn this evidence, and to remove the proofs of his own wrong. Justice would extinguish them. Charity can only hide them for a moment to swell forth a short time hence more alarming than at p resent. Charity can Mate no new funds, no new wealth,• no additional em- 5110 will mocely Ore of her superfluity, Let Sir R. PEEL do justice to the people, and fresh employ ment will arise, new wealth will be created, and funds be provided for a continual increase of the means of sub sistence. His plan of giving the public money to relieve distress is bribing the people with their own property to submit to injustice. From ten o'clock till two the House of Commons was occupied with the bribery practised at Bridport, and, we are happy to say, that the leading men of both parties agreed that it ought to be inquired into. There was some little difference as to the nature of the object for which the inquiry should be instituted, though it was generally admitted that it should be to lay the foundation for legislative measures ; and it was not . finally settled whether the inquiry should be referred to Mr. ROEBUCK'S Com mittee or not!; but the bulk cf the House agreed that the matter was so flagrant, that it could not be passed over. The persons who called out No to the motion, and who differed from their leaders, were Sir RonEirr 4 ,INGLIS, Mr. G. BANKES, and Sir C. BURRELL, the re presentatives of the extreme Toryism and Churchism of the House. Those, then, are the sections of the commu nity which profit by bribery, and which, consequently, wish to encourage it in other parties AV:tO are becoming ashamed of it, and are constrained to give it up. A more complete exposure of the system than Bridport supplies, it is impossible to conceive. First, the late Member, Mr. WARBURTON, by his petition, establishes both bribery and compromise ; and next, the two Sitting Members, in almost every sentence they uttered, showed that they had been guilty of bribery, and were conscious that the borough deserved to be disfranchised. Sir TROMAS WILDE'S defence of his friend Mr. 'WAR ' BURTON, and his exposure of the two sitting Members' were complete; and nothing, we apprehend, but that cal lousness which comes from long usage, could enable either of them to retain, for one moment, a seat which has been obviously obtained by corrupt and illegal practices. But they only share what has hitherto been the general opi nion and general feeling of the House, which was riotous with rapture whenever a confession of bribery was blurted out, though it ought to have filled them with shame and indignation. The public will not share the mirth of the House of Commons, and will read with indignation the exposure of the manner in which the representation is made a matter of barter and compro mise, though it excited only the merriment of Honour able Members. Sir ROBERT PEEL, either for the reason we assigned yesterday, or some other as little creditable, opposed the appointment of a Committee to inquire into the bribery at Ipswich, of which a Committee of the House of Com mons, sworn to do justice, has reported that it is guilty of bribery ; and he supported the appointment of a Committee to inquire into bribery at Nottingham, which is only suspected, or rumoured to have been guilty of that offence. In the case of the convicted borough, the House of Commons orders the writ to issue —in the case of the suspected borough, that said House withholds it. To us this seems a very strong case of inconsistency in the House of Commons, and in Sir It. PEEL. The real case is still stronger. Whatever the ru mours may be, and whatever may be the evidence of notoriety, on neither of which can the House of Commons and Sir ROBERT PEEL act with any show of dignity, the charge against Nottingham does not concern the constituency at all ; it concerns the late Member and the late candidate. The charge is, that those gentlemen, or their agents by and for them, entered into a corrupt compromise, part of which is the giving a bond for a sum of money, in order to secure the seat for Nottingham for the former candi date. Now, that charge in no way implicates the con stituency of Nottingham. It is a piece of corruption confined exclusively to the late sitting Member, the late candidate, and their agimits. The Nottingham Election Committee has reported nothing whatever against the elec tors of Nottingham. The House of Commons, however— the just House of Commons—and thejust Prime Minister. who is so tenacious of the rights of the constituencies that he would, on no account, withhold the writ from convicted Ipswich, will not allow the writ to issue for Nottingham. On their own principle they punish the electors of Nottingham for the rumoured offence of Messrs. WALTER and LARPENT. Such is the con sistency and justice of the House of Commons, led by Sir li. PEEL. We are glad to find that the Licensed Victuallers throughout the country have shown a becoming spirit in opposition to the scheme of Mr. PAKINGTON for ex tending the blessings of the New Police Act to them, and the inhabitants in general. A numerous deputa tion has been commissioned by the body to come to London for the purpose of, pointing out to the Govern ment the hardships and loss of property which such an enactment would inflict on a class subjected already to more heavy burdens, and more stringent, or, - rather, despotical regulations, than any other portion of the community. An application to Sir J. GamtAst on the subject we fear would be of little use, for without exercising his own judgment, he follows the advice of the Police Commissioners, who are bent on main tainin; the military character of the new police in London, and would, no doubt, delight to see it established in every part of the kingdom. They should at once address themselves to Sir R. PEEL. Let them state their case fairly, so as to point out the injury they would sustain by the proposed measure, and their remonstrances will receive due attention. He has no interest in harassing a body of. tradesmen whom no Government can afford to treat with contempt ; and it cannot be his policy to imitate the example of the late Government who did themselves immense injury by not checking, but, on the contrary, countenanc ing a set of meddling . hypocritical legislators, whose only delight seemed to consist in annoying their neigh bours and interfering with the amusements and esta blished habits of the people. Mr. PAKINGTON, who has this project in view, is Chairman of the Worcestershire Quarter Sessions, and, not satisfied with the vast power over publicans given by law to the Justices, is deter mined to have them still more at his mercy. He can have no other object in view. If people get drunk and create a disturbance, the Justices can inflict a tine. If landlords encourage such practices, the Justices can take away their licences. The law as it exists is sufficiently strong, and the result of his scheme would only be to confer on the police more power, to encourage informations, to make the Government hated, and to annoy the public, and more espe cially travellers, by depriving them of the usual means of obtaining shelter and refreshment. It is of no use to say an exception is to be made in their favour, for landlords would have such difficulty in ascertain ing who really were travellers, and would be subject to such annoyance by informations . , that they would be driven to the necessity of shutting up their houses al together during the proscribed hours. We confidently trust, therefore, that the publicans, not only throughout the country, but in the metropolis, will unite, and resist to the last such, a wanton interference with their property and their rights as citizens. If they only act in concert, and resolve to reject all candidates at elections who will not pledge themselves to protect their interest against such meddlers as Mr. PAKINGTON, Mr. PLUMPTRE, and Sir ANDREW AGNEW, they may rest assured there will be no occasion for a second deputation to London. The Duke of WELLINGTON stated, in the House of Lords on Thursday night, that he had never treated the distress of the country with levity. We never heard the illustrious Duke's definition of levity, and therefore do not understand exactly what meaning he attaches to the word. Was it treating the distress of the country with levity to assure the House of Lords that England was the only country in the world in which a poor man could live comfortably, provided he were industrious, and that if wretchedness prevailed, the people would find the cause in their own laziness and vice ? Was this the way in which it became a great statesman to speak of the working classes of this country, thousands of whom are perishing, not because they will not work, but because they cannot find employment. There is a painful hardihood about many of the Duke's remarks, whenever he has occasion to treat of the distresses of the poor. He has not only no sympathy, but he seems to have an utter contempt for them. This feeling is so strong as to blind him to the observation of the most obvious facts. It is nut the unwillingness of the people to work that causes the distress in Spitaltields, in Paisley, and in Burnley. They are idle and starving, because such statesmen as the Duke of WELLINGTON make laws which, by keeping up the price of food, render our manufacturers unable to compete with foreigners in the great markets of the world. More suffering has been inflicted upon the people of this country by legislation than by all the other causes of human misery put together. The very vices of the p eo ple have been tr e bl e d b y the operation of a vicious and brutalizing system of Government. - We do not, however, mean to imply that the Duke of WELLINGTON has a greater contempt for the industrious classes than the majority of the Members of the House of Lords. The great bulk of his auditors think exactly as he does, but, not possessing his Grace's frankness, they take care to say nothing about the matter. They parade a little maudlin sympathy now and then to save t appearances, but, i n rea lity, they care less for the p eop l e than they do about their dogs and borses, The Rindrid journals received. are of the 18th inst. They state that - Barcelona; was -in - a vivy disturbed con dition. In fact, a riaing in that quarto rily expected to take place. The Carlists are again endeavouring to kindle the flames of a civil war in the north of Spain. The conduct of the Northern Powers in not recognizing the young QUEEN, and so indirectly sanctioning these appeals of public plunderers to arms, is at once disgraceful and inhuman. On the Madrid Bourse, on the 18th, three bargains were concluded in the Three per Cents., at 214 for cash, and 22k at 60 days, for 3,000,000 reals. The transac tions in the Five per Cents., 46 in number, amounted to 26,000,000 reals, and were done at 268 for cash, 261 at 60 days, and with premium, 271 at , 10 days, and 27 at 35. The French journals are still without any political news of -interest. The Committee of the Chamber of Peers on the Railway Bill has voted for the adoption of that measure, as passed by the Chamber of Deputies. It is expected that the Parliamentary session of the French Chambers will close about the middle of July. The French Government has fixed the import duty on linen and linen thread at 12 per cent. The following re marks upon this augmentation of the duty is from the Conunerce:— We take note of the promise of M. Cunin-Gridaine to aug ment the duty on English linen threads and linen cloths. We are partisans neither of monopolies nor of prohibitions ; our principle is, liberty of commerce; but we do not urge it to either despotism or dupery. The English, who seek to seize on all the markets of the world, are exceedingly anxious for commercial liberty in other nations, but they grant it to no person in return. We know what we have to expect for our wines, our silks; and other manufactured objects. The protective duties in England amount nearly to prolobi tions It is in this state of things that we lay a duty of 10' per cent. on English threads imported into France, to the detri ment of our spinning-manufacturers. We keep up in a cer tain measure a whole branch of British industry, and how does England requite us ? In the face of a 10 per cent. duty on English threads in France, they put on 60 per cent. on similar articles of our manufacture. Before 1788, France furnished the English with a great part of their linen cloths, alterwards the English excluded us from their markets, by establishing the protecting duty alluded to ; at a still later period spinning machines were invented, and England seized on them first. She formed immense establishments, against which the French manufacturer cannot contend, even if nothing else be considered than the first outlay in forming establishments, which have been long since incurred by England. It is in this state of things that England maintains a duty of 60 per cent., whilst ours is only 10 per cent. Certainly, we shall be exceedingly moderate in establishing on English threads a duty equal to the British tariff, and we trust that, conformably to those ideas, the ordonnance of M. Cunin-Gridaine will raise eur duty at least to 30 per cent. on the value. There is, undoubtedly, no man of sense who can propose to us to coolly sacrifice our linen-manu facture, the natural production.of our soil, to the wealth and en croachments of our rivals at the other side of the channel. A magnificent ball was on Tuesday night given by their Ex cellencies the British Ambassador and Lady Cowley, in honour of the birth-day of her Majesty the Queen of England, to which all the leading English residents of Paris, and the most distinguished foreigners were invited—the company compris ing Russian, Austrian, Spanish, Italian, and, in fact, the re presentatives of the highest nobility of all the Courts of Eu rope. Marshal Soult, M. Guizot, and the other Ministers, the members of the various corps diplomatiques, and most of the gentlemen present were in their national uniforms, which gave a brilliant variety to the scene. The dresses of the ladies were of the most rich and elegant description, displaying a great profusion of diamonds and jewellery, among which some of those worn by Spanish ladies were of surpassing cost and brilliancy, the effect of which was heightened by thou sands of wax lights, with which the extensive suite of rooms were lighted up. The most striking—almost magical coup (Neil, however, was the gallery which runs round the rooms, and which was on this occasion fitted up with commodious divans for the convenience of the dancers wishing to repose themselves, and filled with plants and flowers. From this gallery the effect produced by the garden, which was seen beautifully illuminated with variegated and Chinese lamps, was perfectly enchanting. At the further end of the lawn was raised a triumphal arch, hung with an immense variety of coloured lamps, and bearing in the centre a crown and her Majesty's initials V. R., with the Royal arms of Eng land. The supper, which was alike remarkable for its pro. fusion and elegance, was served at two o'clock in the state dining-saloon, which was handsomely decorated for the occa soin, and perfumed with orange-trees in full bloom. Dancing was resumed after supper, and lasted till near day-break,, when the company gradually broke up. The scale of costly munifi cence on which this entertainment was given may be pro nounced truly and specially British, and the unaffected grace of the noble hostess, with the courteous hospitality of his Excel lency towards all their guests (who numbered upwards of a thousand), which were conspicuously displayed during the en tire night, added largely to the gratification of all who were present at this truly royal fete. If we may give credit to a letter from Algiers, dated the 15th of May, the ex-Bey Achmed has advanced towards the province of Constantine, arid has even beaten out of Biscarrah our Schick El Arab Ben Gannah ; but this is very improbable. The same letter informs us that Colonel Brice, having returned among the Kybeles of Collo, with too small a force, was obliged to re treat to Philipville, after losieg in a combat 14 killed, and hav ing 50 wounded. The numbers are probably exaggerated, for it is stated that the retreat was made in good order.— Cott stitutionnel. The following letter, published by the Tuolonnais, states a very serious fact :—The unhappy sufferers by the ship wreck are not Frenchmen, but the tempest has thrown them on a coast where France has planted her colours ; and on this coast, which is now French, the protection of France ought to follow them. We therefore think that it will suffice to state the facts, in order to obtain their deliverance. In the course of last January an Austrian schooner, Captain Vianello, with a crew of nine men, was shipwrecked about nine leagues from this place, and were made prisoners by the Kabyles, with whom they still remain. General de Rumigny in the absence of the Governor, had sent a considerable sum to Gigelli to have them back, but on the arrival of the Go vernor of Algiers, an order was issued to get the mitefie, turned to Algiers. We thought that General Negries would have come to Gigelli with a column to geliver those poor pri soners, who have so much to suffer; but it appears that they were forgotten.— Commerce.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) The Temperance Hall at Ipswich was last week subjected to 4s. 2d.

MURDER 05' A SON BY HIS FATHER.—An in quest was held at North Collingham, Nottinghamshire, on the 23d of May instant, before Mr. P. R. Falkner, Coroner, over the body of Mr. George Rawerth, who was a respectable cur rier, aged between 30 and 40 years. He lived with his father, but the latter bad never spoken to him for upwards of two years. The deceased on Sunday last ha 4 pui. his horse into a cart, and was ready to start to Newark, when a neighbour, Mrs. Gilbert, called and requested him to wait five minutes whilst she fetched a basket which she wished him to take to Newark. She was not absent more than five minutes, and, not seeing him in the yard on her return, with the cart, went into the house, when she found him in an inner room in a state of great suffering, and scarcely able to speak, with blood flowing profusely from one of his ears, at the back of which he had re ceived a violent blow. His father, who is a shoemaker, was sitting in the same room at his work, quite indifferent and unconcerned, and offered no assistance, and evinced no sympathy for his son. The father at first denied any knowledge o f t h e . . injury, but afterwards confessed he had inflicted it will a thick bar of wood, with which the outer door of the house was fas tened, but alleged that his son had provoked him to it. The jury immediately returned a verdict of " Wilful murder" against the father, who was committed by the Coroner to the county gaol, to take his trial at the next assizes. — Nottingham Journal-. HORRIBLE DEATH.—On Tuesday last an inquest was held at the Snipe Tavern, Dukenfield, Cheshire, before Mr. C. Hudson, coroner, on view of the mutilated remains of James Ogden, aged 43 yea r s. Deceased was an engineer at the Victoria Colliery, Dukenfield (worked by Messrs. Swyer ar.d Lees), and on Monday was engaged, along with several other men, in making some alteration "in the rope which drew this coals up the shaft of the mine.. For this purpose the deceased was standing near the top of the shaft, holding on by the rope, when, the rope being jerked by some unaccount able cause, he was thrown down the shaft of the mine and fell to the bottom, a depth of 345 yards In descending he came in contact•with sundry pumps and pieces of timber, and on two persons descending to look for him, he was found quite dead, one side of his head being cut off, both his legs and thighs, one arm, and part of one side also cut off, his bowels dashed out, and every bone in his body broken. A verdict of " Acciden tal death was returned, and no blame attached to any party."

IRE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY MORNING, MAY 28, 1842. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND public eptntott. " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. The Univers, a French religious paper, gives the following results of the operation hitherto of the right of search :—" The number of negroes liberated from 1828 to 1835 has been 8,312, taken in 29 slavers, and liberated by the mixed Committee sitting at Havannah, 3,193, from 10 slavers, and liberated by the Committee of Rio Janeiro, 27,686, taken in 142 vessels, and set at liberty by the Committee at Sierra Leone, betides those who have been liberated by the special tribunals of each contracting nation. For France alone the numbers are 525 at Martinique, 702 at Guadaloupe, 800 at Guayana (Diana), and 465 at Bourbon, making in all 41,683 negroes, whom the right of search, such as it is exercised at present, has set at liberty in the space of eight years. For ail those, whom the senti- ment of human dignity has not abandoned, this is undoubtedly something." The grand fete given by Lord Cowley, at the British Em bassy on Tuesday night, to celebrate her Majesty's birthday, passed off most brilliantly, and was pronounced to be one of the most splendid entertainments .ever given in the French capital. The Commerce says :—" M. Olozaga will, it is understood, soon return to his post, as Ambassador at. Paris. It is pro bable, therefore, that Count Salvandy will rstkdelay returning to Madrid, for he still preserves the title of Extraordinary Ambassador of the King to Spain." The Sentinelle de Toulon of the 22d instant states, that the Veloce steamer, which arrived on the preceding day with 18 sick, had left the squadron of Admiral Hugon at the islands of Hyeres. On the 20th the frigate Medee came in collision with the Ocean man-of-war, carried away her stern boat, and re ceived considerable injury in her rigging. Several persons were wounded on board the Ocean, and amongst others Admiral Hugon, who was struck on the head. A letter from Beyrout, April 28, in the Echo de 1' Orient, states that the plague was raging at Der-el-Kamar, and that some cases had occurred at Saint Jean d'Acre, but Beyrout was, up to that period, free from the disease. The same letter informs us that Colonel Rose, the British Consul, had narrowly escaped assassination. Whilst riding on horseback he was at tacked by an Albanian, who snapped a pistol at him, but it for tunately missed fire, and the Colonel rode off. Our accounts from Athens are of the 10th inst. They state that French influence was all powerful in Greece for the pre sent, and that Russia on the other hand was actively labouring to get up, by working on the religious fanaticism of the people, a powerful opposition to King Otho. PARLXBAVICENTAR,Y. The Lords received a few unimportant petitions, and read the Customs Duties Drawback Bill a second time. They for warded one or two other measures a stage and then adjourned. In the Commons Sir A. Leith Hay gave notice of a motion anent the minutes of the General Assembly of the Kirk, and asked Sir James Graham whether it were the intention of the Government to bring forward any measure to settle the dis graceful differences in the Kirk ? Sir James Graham declined to give any answer till 4 lllr. Campbell's Bill comes on for second reading on June 15. Before going into Committee on the tariff, Mr. O'Connell pointed out that the result of the temperance movement in Ireland had been to decrease the Excise revenue, but increase the whole revenue of Ireland. The House in Committee got through the tariff as far as the timber duties, with one division on blubber, provoked by Mr. Lyall, the Member for London, and which resulted in confirming the Government proposition by 108 to 41. Mr. C. Buller moved, by agreement, at ten o'clock that Mr. Warburton's petition be referred to Mr. Roebuck's Committee. Thereupon Mr. Bailie Cochrane made a spirited, though not a satisfactory defence of his share in the Bridport transactions. Mr. Mitchell made a weak and wordy defence of his, leaving no favourable impression on those who heard him. Sir T. Wilde defended Mr. Warburton, and overturned Mr. Cochrane's and Mr. Mitchell's defence. Sir R. Peel, Lord J. Russell, Lord Palmerston, and Lord Stanley, all spoke, though Lord Palmerston's language was very qualified in favour of an inquiry. Sir R. Inglis Mr. C. Bankes, who was quite vehement, and Sir. C. Burrell, were thq voters against inquiry. On a division, it was agreed that an inquiry should take place, by 156 to 37 votes. But a doubt was raised by Sir R. Peel, whether the inquiry should be trusted to Mr. Roebuck's Committee or some other, and the debate on that part of the proposition was adjourned. The House sat till Half-past,Two o' Clock. PUBLIC OPINION. The Chronicle thus alludes to the ignorance of some of the members of the Cabinet, as regards the Queen's Letter : " But if they knew that it had been determined on that a letter was to be written, was it not monstrously imprudent, to 'say nothing of the indecency of the thing, to question the existence of the letter, upon the mere chance that it might not have been written? Why speak of the thin in such a manner as to beget a suspicion in the public mind- that imposition might have been practised? What man of any sense would allow himself to speak lightly on such a serious subject as the over whelming distress of the people? Many persons doubted the genuineness of the letter when Cabinet Ministers spoke of it in a manner to create an impression that no such letter was in existence. They said, however little the Earl of Ripon way take to heart the distresses of the people, it is impossible, if such a letter had been determined on, but that he must have had some recollection of it, and he would not surely be such a chatterer as to express a doubt whether it had actually been issued, on the mere chance that it might not possibly have been issued. We must say that the whole proceeding evinces much disrespect towards her Majesty, and indifference as regards the distresses of the people." The Herald observes, with reference to the Queen's Letter : —" When starvation stands on the working-man's hearth, when every shilling subscribed must alleviate some pang ; Lord Kinnaird, as appears by last night's debate, is desirous of knowing why the letter should be issued just at this parti cular tune,' and adds that he does not think it will do any permanent good,' as if--supposing for an instant that his con jecture be right—that were a reason for withholding immediate relief from starving people. Earl Pitzwilliam also doubts the • efficacy of the measure proposed, and would legislate' for famine by prospective, or, as his LOrdship terms it, permanent assistance, when the call for temporal aid is so imperative ! The Marquis of Lansdowne, on the other hand, believing that the letter is well-timed and the result of mature deliberation, expresses his approval of the course proposed. Who is there, we ask, unwedded to a system, who will temporise with such a question, and not at once come forward with hand and heart to follow the example already set by the Queen, the Queen Dowager, her Majesty's Ministers, and other noblemen and gentlemen, whose subscriptions are appended to the statement." The following is from the Post :—" We observe in the Whig papers a great deal of very disingenuous trash, with re ference to the observations which we offered on Wednesday morning as to the fair, common•sense state of the bribery question. We then maintained, what all persons conversant with society know to be true, that buying votes at elections is popularly regarded as no moral offence at all, and that men do not stand any worse in society on account of having been popu larly known to have bought votes at elections. Because we have stated this as a fact, our candid critics quote this part of what we have said, and this part alone, adding certa4 remarks of their own, by which their readers are led to understand, that in stating this fact, we regarded it as a very light matter, and one to which no particular notice should be given. But the truth is, that had these critics been honest enough to state the substance of all we said, their readers would have found that we not only strongly condemned that insensibility which we re corded, but proposed that the Legislature should interfere to correct the grievous popular error which exists, and also to prevent the commission of such bribery as far as may be pos sible, and to provide a punishment for it where means of pre vention fail." -7 11 e Tintes, alluding to the bribery and corruption practised 'at elections, says :—" We do not underrate the practical diffi culties of these questions; we do not overrate the advantages to be derived from any one act of severity or of justice. We know (with Mr : Bernal) that the evil is too deeply seated in the constituencies of our great towns to be expelled by any sudden discipline or any vaunted legislative nostrum ; that among these constittu-ncics bribery and treating, like smug- . gling or poaching, are not looked upon as crimes, and that it is vain to legislate when you have no public moral sense with you to back and enforce your laws. Yet we cannot but think that what bears the appearance of indifference to this great stain on the character of our voters is an important and absolute evil ; and therefore, without saying what could have been done, we must express our regret that the House of Commons should have sent out to the world what appears very much like a care less refusal to do anything at all." IVIONEY — TIZADZ—COMMERCE. Not less than 1.100 salmon have been caught in the Tay ; near Perth, during the past week. The South-Eastern Railway was opened as far as Tunbridge yesterday, and four trains are to run daily. IMPROVEMENTS. A new bridge was last week thrown over the piece of orna mental water leading from the inner circle in the Regent's park, across to Macclesfield-gate. Two other bridges are also in formation. . . _ The contemplated improvements which were to have taken place in Piccadilly have been postponed till the autumn, on ac count of some difficulties that have- arisen relative to the parish boundaries. . The Rev:Mr. Sibthorp, who has recently created so great a sensation by his desertion of the Church of England for that of Rome, was on Saturday last admitted to priest's orders at the Roman Catholic College at Oscott. '"' ZALVT:aIiTZIP POLICE. At the Surrey Sessions on Thursday Samuel Rosamond was convicted of stealing from his father, a policeman in the M division, two coats, and other wearing apparel. It appeared he had been tried at the Central Criminal Court for embezzling the wages of his fellow-workmen, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment. The Court sentenced him to be transported for seven years. The case of " Lady Galmoy," who has lately sought an allowance of alimony in the Prerogative Court, at Dublin, was determined on Tuesday last, when the Court ordered her 50/. a-year, pending the suit for a divorce with Sir Thomas Staples, LL.D., commonly called Lord Galmoy. In the C ommon Pl eas en Th urs d a y, th e case o f C raws h ay v . Thompson came on again for hearing. A rule had been obtained for a new trial on the ground of misdirection, or of the verdict being against evidence ; but the Court thought the question had been properly left to the Jury, who gave a verdict for the defendant, and accordingly discharged the rule. The action, it will be remembered, was brought for a supposed imi tation, by Alderman Thompson, of the initials "W. C.," stamped on the iron manufactured by the plaintiff. FINE ARMS. A tine statue o f Ki ng G eorg e 111., sculptured by Turnerelli for th e l a t e G eorge IV., has been presented by Mr. Henry Pownall, of Spring Grove, to King's College, where it will be placed in th e M useum. The new bust of Alderman Lucas, which is to be executed by Mr. Behnes the sculptor, will be placed, when finished, in the Royal Naval School, an institution of which the Alderman has long been patron. A valuable bronze cast of the far-famed shield of Achilles, the composition of Flaxman, has been presented by Messrs.

" Lady Keane, married in 1814 to Sir Richard Keane, Bart., the brother to Lieut.-General Lord Keane, of Ghuznee, died at Cappoquin House, the family seat, near Waterford, about ten days since. Riley-house, a handsome brick-built Seat, in the occupation, of a gentleman named Weekes, situated at the village of Hin flock, in Devonshire, was totally destroyed on Monday last by fire. The amount of property destroyed is considerable, and, it is feared, attended with loss of life. COURT CIRCULAR. - - ---- --- The Duke and Duchess of Saxe Meiningen, accompanied by Prince George (th• Hereditary Prince), and a numerous suite, arrived soon after two o'clock yesterday afternoon at Marlborough House, Pall-mall, the residence of her Majesty the Queen Dowager (the sister of his Serene Highness), from the Continent. In the afternoon the Queen Dowager, the Duke and Duchess of Saxe Meiningen, and the Duchess of Saxe Weimar, took an airing together in the Parks ir. an open carriage and four. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Kent and the Duchess of Gloucester afterwards paid visits to the Queen Dowager and her Illustrious relatives. Soon after six o'clock the Queen. attended by Lady Port man, Lady in Waiting, arrived at I%lirlhorough House in an open barouche and four, preceded by outriders in scarlet live ries, Colonel Arbuthnot, the Equerry in Waiting, being ea horseback. Her Majesty remained near an hour with the august party. His Serene Highness Prince George of Saxe Meiningen and his Preceptor, and part of the Suite of the Duke and Duchess, occupy the King of Hanover's residence in St. James's Palace.

The Funds, which had been very firm during the whole of the day, with an upward tendency, experienced a sudden de pression late in the afternoon, and Consols left off at 925 for Money, and 935 for the Opening, an eighth per cent. lower than yesterday. The cause assigned for this decline is a sudden demand for money for commercial purposes, bat this scarcely appears probable, from the limited extent to which business has of late been carried on ; the more likely reassn is perhaps to be found in connextion with some continental operations in the exchanges. Exchequer Bills advanced is., the old bills being 38 to 40, and the advertised 35 to 36 prem. Bank Stock, 167 168 ; India Stock, 249 251.

The foreign exchanges were lower than on Tuesday, Am sterdam, 12 44, 12 45 ; Rotterdam, 12 45 ; Hamburgh, 13 10, 1 ,-, 13 105 ; Antwerp, 12 45 ; Frankfort, 1514, 151 i; Paris, 2.5 f. 775 c., 25f. 824 c. ; Vienna, 9 525, 9 535 ; Trieste, 9 54, 9 55, all at three months. The quotations of the Bends were—Colombian, 26i 27k ; Peruvian, 19 20 ; Portuguese Three per Cents., 224 23 ; the Five per Cents., 38 38i; Spanish Five per Cents., 221 23, and the Three per Cents. 224 23k. The proposals made to the ,Bondholders by the Chilian Go vernment for arranging the over-due interest, were unani mously adopted at the meeting to-day. Many of the holders are even now very far from being satisfied of the inability of Chili to do more than they . have offered, considering, from the flourishing state in which she is, that in the course of a very few years the revenue would be in a condi tion to pay all the claims in full, and that, instead of waiting so long for the first payment of the Deferred Stock, it would have ben preferable to have kept the negotiation in abeyance. (From The Sun of Last Night.) _ _ _ _ Transactions in the English funds have to-day been only to the smallest possible amount ; prices, however, remain firm with an upward tendency. Consols are 92i, 92i for Money, and 93 931 for the opening. Three per Cents. Reduced, 91a 911- ; Three-and-a-Half per Cents.

Nothing done in Foreign Securities. Mexican Bonds bear the quotation of 37 for the Account. Business in the Share Isilrket has been extremely limited, and confined to Midland Counties, 70 71 ; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 521; South Eastern and Dover, New, 7k; Black wall, 11i ; and Brighton Scrip, 78. The shares on the latter line have scarcely anything doing in them, in consequence of the arrangements between that Company and the Dover being likely to go off. Spanish Bonds only are quoted in the official lists to-day at 23h for the Five and Three per Cents. It will be observed that this quotation of the Spanish Three per Cent. Stock is gradually creeping up after a long interval of depression ; and it is much to be feared that strenuous efforts are being made to endeavour to induce the idea that it bears a real instead of a nominal value. It has been frequently sup posed, and the proceedings of former finance ministers of Spain would lead to the conclusion that such supposition is correct, that the dividend lately paid, and such as are to be paid, if the event should ever occur, were to be provided for by the sale of a quantity of over-issued Stock. This view has been corroborated by some late changes made in the Cortes, in which it was openly stated thrt the contractors had been put in possession of coupons to the amonnt of seven millions of reals, which it was conjectured had been, or were about to be converted into the new stock, and these charges remain yet officially uncontradicted. In conse quence of these reports and of, some misgivings on the pa t of the holders, the quotations have been gradually declining, and it is thought that, the matter having now blown over, the time has arrived to create a fresh speculation, the more necessary now inasmuch as a further loan is about to be attempted; much caution on the part of the public is necessary in order to avoid purchasing these worthless documents. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MAY 26.—The Market was not so brisk this morning as during yesterday prices, how ever, were firm, and 4,000 bales were sold, inclusive of 250 for export.

ROBBERY IN A !LIVERPOOL HOTEL.—A robbery was committed on Sunday in one of the hotels in this town by a Prussian named Gripper, alias Ullrieh. This individual had been staying at the hotel for a month, representing himself as a wool merchant. On Sunday he contrived to take a cash-box from the bar, containing 411. 10s. in gold, and 60/. wrapped in papers of 5/. each, without observation. He immediately pro ceeded to another hotel, where he requested to be shown to a bedroom, under the pretence that he wanted to wash his hands. Whilst there, he broke op en t h e box, took out the cash, and having concealed the box under the bed, went away.

OAKS-YESTERDAY. There are a great many soft folks, pretending to exquisite sensibility, who are continually flinging themselves into eve , cies at the sound of a name. " The Derby," they exclaim, " there's magic in the name—it is truly talismanic ! ' Yes, to those who delight in a picture in which " the toe of the peasant comes too near the heel of the courtier." In a name certainly there is a great deal—when it is coupled with pleasant, honour able, or glorious recollections—and we know not among the 36,000 words or more that compose our nervous arid comprehensive language one that touches cur feelings more satisfactorily than the word " Oak." Apart the beauty of that noble tree, we associate with it—what? It would be long to tell our terr.ble triumphs on the bounding back of old ocean, since the days of the Drakes and Howards of Effing ham, down to those of the Camperdowns and Nelson and Broute. That word is the staple of one of our most commen national songs; it furnishes us with numberless comparisons as to our qualities, and nobody could pass a higher compliment upon us, as a people, than to describe us as " Hearts of Oak." In the " Oaks, then, even when applied to a racing prize, there is something of a warm, stimulating, yet tonic nature— not feverish, but something calm, quiet, fresh, and invigo, ating. Arid yet for this prize, bearing so stout a name, the founder of it (one of the noble Derby family callin g it after a mansion of their's, near B ans t ea d, name d " Th e Oaks,") ordained that it should be run for by fillies. Did he thereby mean to slyly insinuate that " the gray mare is the better horse ?" The insinuation often turns out to be just, and many times the fillies of the " Oaks " prove themselves better horses than the colts of the " Derby." Be that as it may, the Oaks is —we had almost said invariably the pleasantest day of all the pleasant ones that compose the Epsom week. It is more classical—more aristocratic —more genteel ; it is stripped of all the ignobile vulgus, and their low habits, practices, and manners, and it presents an English race-course what it ought to be ; to wit, a gathering of the quintescence of our capital city. The Derby day puts us in mind of one of our national theatres on the first night of pantomime—the Oaks of the same theatre when some sound sterling tragedy or comedy is played, unaccompanied by show or spectacle, or anything represented for the specific purpose of propitiating the " gods." Epsom Downs yesterday were not over-run by an immense, confused, and multiform multitude—they were not almost denuded of the " human face divine," as on Thursday—but they were tolerably thronged with the very best specimens of that people of whom the poet said in his review of nations, " I see the Lords of human kind pass by." The weather all through yesterday was remarkably fine— not a drop of rain fell upon the course, and a gentle breeze that blew across the Downs prevented the heat from being oppressive. There was abundance of sport of a fair average quality, and the principal race having been extensively speculated upon was thereby rendered highly interesting. Altogether the race, though of course less important in the eyes of the Toiling men than the Derby, was better contested, and, consequently to the many, proved a source of greater amusement and excitement. The first race having been appointed to take place at half-past two, half an hour later than it ought to be, and its nut having commenced until three quarters of an hour after that, all that followed were thrown back, and when they did come off it was hurriedly, as if to make up the loss of time. This bad arrangement, as to time, gave rise to general complaint (and justly), since the sports of the day did not conclude before seven in the evening. The distinguished personages present yesterday being nearly identical with the attendance of Wednesday, to name them would be needless repetition. The sports commenced with, — The Oaks Stakes of 50 soya. each, h ft, fur three yrs old fillies, Bst 71b each; the last mile and a half; the second to receive 100 sovs. out of the stakes.

NOTTINGHAM ELECTION.—We have nothing fur ther to report relative to the representation of our vacant seat in Parliament, except that Mr. Walter has arrived, and was to address the electors yesterday ( Thursday), in the Assembly Rooms, and Mr. F. O'Connor was to eo the same in the Market place the same evening. There is no telling when the writ will be issued, but we can assert, that the reports of Mr. Sturge having retired from the field are utterly groundless. .He is de termined to fight the battle of liberty and purity of election. his address to the electors, as well as Mr. Walter's, appears an our paper of this day..—Nottingham Review of this day. Thursday morning, between five and six o'clock, as Thomas Timms, one of the fire-brigademen belonging to Watling-street Fire-engine station, was proceeding in a boat from Southwark-bridge stairs, he discovered the body o f a young lady, elegantly attired, floating in the River Thames. He, with assistance, got the body into the boat, and it was con veyed on shore, and afterwards to Christchurch Workhouse, where it lies to await a Coroner's inquest. There were no papers or other documents found on the deceased's person, so as to lead to a discovery of who she was. The body appeared to have been from five to six days in the water.

DUBLIN, MAY 25.—MURDER IN TIPPERARY.—A most appalling murder was committed on Saturday last at a place called Loughane, near Cloughjordan, in the northern division of Tipperary. The Nenagh Guardian gives the fol lowing particulars !—" On Monday last James Carroll, Esq , Coroner, held an inquisition upon view bf the body of Rody Kennedy, of Loughane, who was found murdered in a field con tiguous to his osn house, on Sunday, the 2:2t1 instant. The cause assigned for this murder is not exactly known, but it has not arisen from the taking of land, which is well known to be the fruitful source from whence have sprung those fearful crimes of which it has been the unpleasant duty of this journal tc be the chronicle. The deceased was a man of excellent character, and was much esteemed and respected by his neighbours —as was evinced by the peasantry assembling from various parts about Cloughjordan, to pay a last sad tribute to his memory. He was a. widower, and has left five young and helpless children. The Jury found the following verdict : That the deceased came by his death in consequence of wounds inflicted as above de• scribed, by some person or persons at present unknown.' We understand that seven persons have been arrested as being im plicated in the commission of this murder.
