Again the debate on Mr. VILLIERS' motion - was ad; • journed last night a few minutes before twelve o'clock, Mr. EWART being in possession of the House. There was a considerable number of speakers, but they were nearly all of a minor character. Mr. MaNErt GissoN, the representative of Manchester, made, perhaps, the best speech of the night, on the free trade side ; the palm of merit was divided on the Side of the monopolists hy Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, Mr. WODEHOUSE, Mr. 14 s ETT, of IViltshire, and Mr. BINGHAM ESCOTT. Lord I)crwcAm made a short and smart speech, and plainly told the proud aristocracy of England that it was un worthy of them, to scramble with the 'people for their food. . Mr. P. 3L STEWART also made a very useful ' speech ; but on the- whole the debate had not much move* or interest. We cannot, however, regret that it is continued. The . discussion will make the merits of the question better known. As yet, though the landlords have been dial lunged to substantiate their assertion that they bear par - iicular burdens, they have not done so, and have merely repeated their assertions. On this point their word - carries no weight with it; they are legislating on their own behalf, and no person gives them the credit of being either disinterested or patriotic. Of the national debt, which Mr. MILNES the night be fore hinted the landlords would extinguish if their corn monopoly were destroyed, they pay no more than any other cuss. The interest is paid out of the taxes, which are Collected chiefly 1: by the Customs and Excise. The whole amount of the local burdens of England and Wales,,of which only a small share falls on them, does Sl ot exceed 5,000,0001 per annum. If they paid every farthin g of poor -rates and highway - rates, that would - . .„ not instuy their monopoly. The truth is, that the burdens which press on the land owners are private, not public. Theit• estates are nearly all encumbered wilt mortgages,. dowers, annuities, and other debts, which' they are afraid will eat up all their rent if the trade in corn be set free. To-speak the truth, in one sentence, . t h e • corn-law i:i preserved to enable the profligate and rs travagant landowners to pay their debts. They can not, :however, any longer impose on the people ; all their actions are now open to observation ;. they are the just 0 1,3 e - 2 0 of suspk•ion, and they are now falling into the unhappy .cOndition of detected story-teller, whom nobody believes.. -Such a station, if that be the station which E pwA RD KNATCHRULL is anxious to maintain, is iccompatible with the preservation of society. We regret very much the conduct of the Whigs on the question of the Corn-Taws. Their reasoning and their votes are palpably at variance. They have not confidence in their 'own principles, and their fears master their convictions. They mistrust nature, and wonderfully overrate the good effects of laws. All their arguments, particularly ~.the elaborate statements of Lord JOHN ItussELL, Lord *AlallyritBTON, and Mr. MACAULAY, go the whole length ' l :l:, l e,atig that trade is not a proper subject for legis , •-• it ,p. • • • )t* u. t t a • ' • 4:i :a:O4 100....b0e 14,0 - c„,„ • , , ' , triit _Atat. lation. How can it be ? Legislation is confined to on e political society; it is wholly municipal. Trade is inter national, and extends far beyond the reach and bounds of law. But while the leading Whigs take this sound and wise view of trade, they will vote against their own convictions. They will not support Mr. VIL LIERS, they throw cold water on his motion, and they thereby injure their own character for consistency and sagac ity. We believe, too, that they will injure them selves as a party. The question mooted by Mr. VIL • Lizits is the popular question of the day. It concerns the prosperity of property and the welfare of industry. It emphatically concerns the millions. In our judg ment, therefore, it would have been expedient, wise, and just in the Whigs, had they cordially supportell the motion for the total and immediate abolition of the Corn-laws. Mr. MUNTZ has placed the following notice on the books of the House of Commons, for the 24th inst. : " That at future divisions of the House, neither the strangers in the gallery, nor the reporters, shall be re quired to withdraw, except by special motion for that purpose." The present practice of excluding all strangers from the House, including reporters, dates from the time when the House sought to enshroud all its pro ceedings in secresy, by making it a breach of privilege tocommunicate them to the public. In former times pa triotic Members were exposed to the persecution of the SQ YEREIGN, and there was then a reason for keeping secret the share which each individual took in the proceedings of the House. Those times have long passed away. The SOVEREIGN has lost her power, as against the House of Commons, and no Member now runs the smallest risk of being persecuted for an exuberant zeal in the cause of the people. The public are now admitted to witness the proceedings of the House, save and except divi sions; and the success of Mr. WARD's motion, to publish the names and votes of Members by the authority of the House, has removed every shadow of a pretext for not allowing the public to see the divisions, when they can learn from the papers on which side each Member votes. We are not aware that there can be any feasible objec tion to Mr. MuNTz's motion. It will remove the last remnant of the old secresy, and bring all the proceedings of the House into harmony. The motion ought, there fore, to meet with no opposition and no dissentients. We referred very briefly yesterday to the immu nity of our law-givers, which makes them, in our opinion, very regardless, considering the importance of their functions, both of what they undertake, and how they perform it. There is surely no office in society--no duty to be done by man—of such pre-eminent. and even solemn greatness, as making laws for an immense com munity, such as is now gathered under the British flag. Accordingly our ancestors, very properly in our estima tion, laid down the rule, that the preceedings in both Houses were to be begun by prayer. Like otker ordered observances, however, that has now lost all its sacredness and its sanctity, and has dwindled, like most of the practices of the established priesthood, into a mere empty form—the veriest mockery possible of the great functions of which it ought to be the appro priate commencement. Always to retain its efficiency, it should be especially adapted to the business of every evening ; every Member should be required to be pre sent at it; and the officiating person should be rather a statesman than a priest belonging to any of the narrow and exclusive sects into which Christians tire unhappily split. The present empty form, generally attended by Mr. SPEAKER and the Clerks, is suitable enough, we admit, to the multiplicity of business which is hurried through without any solemnity, or any due re gard to its importance. It is impossible, indeed, to be present and hear, in either House, the idle, and sometimes party discussions, on both ,private and public Bills, to mark the continued repeti tion of, " The question is," "The ayes have it;" to hear important forms set down by our best constitutional writers as the safeguards of liberty, mumbled over by the officers of the House ; it is impossible to be present in either House during a long debate, and notice the listless ness of the Members, their much conversation, the party and personal objects they have in view, without feeling convinced that a great reform is necessary in the mode of conducting the business of Parliament, as well as in the mode of constituting that Assembly. Above all, we desire that the Members of both Houses should be im pressed with &much more serious sense of their "awful" responsibility, if we may use Sir R. PEEL'S well known word, than they now are, Whatever may be a man's politics, and whatever enactments lie may think advis able, he must wish that they should be constructed with the utmost care, and all the business of making laws should be carried on with the deepest sense of its im portance. At present, because our law-makers are never called to account, because they enjoy complete immunity, because - they have no reckoning to give to man—and we fear few of them think of reckoning with GOD-for their Parliamentary conduct, they treat•the great work they are engaged in with the utmost indifference, and pass a law which dooms perhaps thousands of the people to misery and privation, with no greater emotion than they experience when at bretddltst they throw the grouts out of their tea-cup into a slop-basin. Young Members and old Members share this indifference, and. a youth hot froni College and a veteran in Parliament, alike desti tute of all sense of _the . importance of their task, are equally ready to heap restrictive and penal laws on the community. We need not dwell on the consequences of this want of a feeling of responsibility in our law-makers. They are equally palpable in a statute-book encumbered with fri volous vexations and contradictory enactments, and in a community almost riven asunder by distress and discon tent, for which the law-makers carelessly say that they know of no remedy. Men and things now alike cry aloud against the cruel conduct of the Members of both Houses of Parliament. And one great step towards ef fecting improvement, must be to inspire them if possible with a feeling of the awful responsibility of the immense task they have undertaken. The Whigs, with all their faults, have one claim on the gratitude of the British nation,. which, though occa sionally forgotten amidst the noise of party contests, and the " finality" fits of Lord JOHN RUSSELL and his party, can never be effaced from the public mind. The Tories of the old school ruled the people with a rod of iron. Imprisonment, flogging, banishment, and, above all, death, were their most approved means for repressing liberty, or checking crimes often committed through want, or that deplorable ignorance in which the wealthiest Church, and the wealthiest aristocracy of the world left the great mass of the middle and lower classes. A hungry man was hanged for stealing a sheep, for stealing from a dwelling-house after a certain hour, and for uttering a forged note of the value of 20s. Scarcely any offence, indeed, which amounted to a crime, was omitted in that awful catalogue which 'ended with the words " he shall be hanged by the neck till dead," During the assizes, for some three months every year, the savage disposition of the ignorant multi tude was ministered to by brutal exhibitions in every county town, while the humane Christians, the tender mothers of families, and their rising offspring were hor rified by the destruction of human life for offences which are now regarded as of the most venial description. The Whigs, to their eternallonour, led the way in effacing this national disgrace. In Parliament and out of Parlia ment; by writingS arid speeches at public meetings, they e xcited the attention of Englishmen, and still more the gen tle feelings of English women, till with one voice the nation cried "Shame" on our barbarous, land, jurymen. forgot their oaths in the course of mercy, and twenty or thirty bloody statutes became obsolete, before the stern dispositions of our lawgivers were moved to abrogate them. This noble trait in the character of &MILLI', MACKINTOSH, BROUGHAM and JEFFREY, with many others of the same party, covers a multittide of sins, and will be remembered by a grateful nation when their eloquence and their political deeds are forgotten. A return just made to the Ilouse of Commons, moved for by Mr. EWART, places the result of their labours in a striking point of view. This return gives the total number of persons executed in London and Middlesex for the last twenty years, divided into triennial periods, and though con tained in only one small sheet, furnishes greater subject for congratulation than ninety-nine out of a hundred Parliamentary documents. For, the three years ending 1821, ninety-eight persons were executed in the metropolis , alone ; and during the triennial period ending with 1839, the number was reduced to three; and for the three preceding years the return is marked—nil. But this is the least gratifying result, for it appears that the humanity of the law has humanised the public mind. The number of persons committed for murder from 1821 to 1833, was about 14 every year, while for the remaining periods up to 1842, it averaged only five. What a noble contrast these returns furnish ; and were they carried farther back the con trast years w w o t il t e d n b e i n s t i 0 1 I n g e r e c a o t e l d r ; totalvfhoi hanged nt t egn l kr o rn u eei l n( d xi goi n e i us c f r l e u q d u e e t n h s e g ‘ a v t e e n , t exceeding x human e eed ingby beings fi v ewtei the e e te a d t for N e ti vY ie : t last nine years! Mr. MONCKTON MILNES is a better poet than debater, and if he were to write more and speak less, it wou ld , we think, be greatly to the advantage of his reput a : tion. He should remember that loose, haphazard aser dons are not arguments, and that flowers of fancy, how ever pleasing, are but sorry substitutes for facts. On Mon day night, in his speech on the Corn.law question, he had the r - shness to assert that the whole discussion was a mere battiing about a shadow—or to use his own more ornate expression—" a vain and fruitless sciomachy." So a d e b a te involving in its issue the best and dearest interests of the THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 23, 1841. people—which is an absolute matter of life or death to thousands—which vitally concerns the two great national powers of commerce and agriculture—and which goes far, to determine the question whether there shall be content or discontent, distress or prosperity, peace or convulsion throughout the country ;—a debate of this substantial, paramount importan,e is, according to Mr. MONCKTON MILNES, a mere empty talk about a shadow ! Now if the Corn-law question he in truth a shadow, it is at any rate a most ominous one, for it is thrown from thunder clouds, which, if not seasonably averted, will ere long burst in storm and tempest far and wide over the face of the country. We believe the Hon. Member is the only man in England who would thus flippantly ex press himself respecting a question, the vast conse quences involved in which have not been equalled since ' the days of the Reform Bill. A shadow, indeed ? Is Mr. MoNcxTow MlLivEs deaf or blind, that he can neither see the tokens, nor hear the warnings, of the coming tempest ? Is the stern, deliberate, progressive agitation in the manufacturing districts, a mere trifle in his estimation ? Is there nothing signi ficant in the hints lately thrown out about " passive re sistance ? " We tell this very superficial gentleman, that the materials of combustion are slowly but surely collecting in all quarters of the country ; that deep and bitter discontent is eating, like a cancer, into the very heart of the community ; andthat nothing will allay this discontent, but the total overthrow of that gigantic mono poly, to discuss which is—according to Mr. MILNES— to battle about a mere shadow ! But not content with this flippant assertion, the Hon. Member proceeded to observe that he " had the consolation to know that scarcely one clergyman of the Established Church had degraded himself hy taking part in the agitation of the Corn-laws !" What, does a Protestant clergyman de grade himself by endeavouring to procure cheap food for the people ? Is it to his discredit, if he endeavours, by opposing an iniquitous impost, to bring peace and plenty into the cottage of the poor man ? This is any thing but apostolic doCtrine. The early pastors of the Church would never have countenanced a notion of this sort, but deemed it their first and most imperative duty to be the benefactors of their flocks, in deed as well as word. Lord ABERDEEN in the House of Peers, and Sir B. PEEL in the House of Commons, on Monday night, stated that France had declined for the present to ratify the Treaty for the suppression of the slave trade. Of course there was a careful abstinence from assigning the motives for this conduct on the part of France by the members of the Government; but as no such discretion is imposed upon public journalists, we may state that it is entirely owing to the feeling that prevails throughout France against conceding a right of search. Jealousy of the honour of their flag, not sympathy for slavery or slave-dealers, actuates the French people in protesting against the ratification of a Treaty which aims at one of the noblest purposes of combination among Go vernments. The French King and the French Government would gladly ratify the Treaty of Which Lord PALMERSTON assigns them half the honour of the conception, but the national will is opposed to it, and the Ministry is not strong enough to cope with it upon this question. Those who have attended to the debates in the Chamber of Deputies upon the address and to the opinions of the public press of every shade of opinion can have no doubt of this. The French people , entertain the erroneous impression that our Government only promotes the suppression of slavery with a view to increase our naval superiority ; and it was to remove this error that Lord BROUGHAM so elo quently and so earnestly asserted that the sole and single desire to suppress slavery, was the only motive of the Government, and of every individual in this country, in calling for the ratification and faithful execution of. this Treaty. We greatly deplore whatever may have the etfeet of delaying the total suppression of slavery by a single hour ; but, at the same time, we are bound to admit that the French Government was called upon to pay the deference which it has done to the strong expression of public opinion. On the motion, of Mr. MILNES, the copy of the war rant for the committal of WILLIAM CARLTON to prison for neglecting to attend Divine worship at Butterworth, in the county of Lancaster, watt.on Monday night laid upon the table of the House of Commons. The warrant states that Wm. CARLTON was convicted of not attending church on the 28th of June, being Sunday ; that the Magistrates, Mr. C. ROYDS and Mr. JAMES 'TAYLOR,' sentenced him to pay a fine of one shilling, and fourteen shillings costs, and that having neither money nor goods, the poor man was ordered to be kept in New Bailey prison, Salford, tilt the fine and costs were paid, which was virtually sentencing him to im prisonment for life. Atter being kept several weeks in confinement, the case was reported to the inspectors of prisons, by whom he was releases'. This 'monstrous act of oppression will lead to one good result—the law under which this victim of hypocrisy and cant was con victed will now be repealed. Nothing accelerates the abolition of bad laws_ko much as their rigid enforce- . ment. The only thing to be regretted is that the victims of their injustice are not selected from among the law-makers. Were all the Peers sand Members of the House of Commons, who were absent from public Worship on Sunday last, sent for a month to Coldbath-fields' House of Correction, it would be an easy task to count the divisions on the Corn-laws. But though the law of cant is in danger, the age of cant is notyet gone. On moving for the copy of the warrant now before us, Mr. MILNE/3 gravely apologised for raising a levelling hand against the legal sanctuary of humbug ; and Sir JAMES GRAHAM, with a gravity equally intense, but ten times more ridiculous for its insincerity, talked of the serious deliberation with which the Government would approach a subject of such great responsibility. The people out of doors are not to be imposed upon by such nonsense as this, The cant of Parliament is now universally treated with derisive contempt by the country. There is a complete dearth of news in the French Journals. We quote the only extracts from them of any general interest : Several Journals have announced that the valiant Count of Morella had arrived, or would shortly arrive at Paris, to place him. self at the head of a new military movement against the present Government of Spain, by a union of the two great parties which that Government has successively combated. There is no truth in this report. Cabrera is still at Lyons, and is net at all engaged with the projects which several of the Journals and public reports have attributed to him:—Gazette de France. The Journal du Havre says," We have received by the Ajax accounts from New Zealand, dated the 3d of September, 1841. At that time the colony of Akarve, under the direction of M. de Belliguy, was in a satisfactory state of improvement. " The Aube corvette, Captain Lavand, which had rendered the most important setvica" 3n - these seas, was preparing to return home in November."—Conslitutionnel. According to accounts from St. Petersburgh of the 27th of last month, it had been decided the day before in the Council of the Empires that an iron railway should be made between St. Peters. burgh and Moscow. It is added that the expense of this undertak. ing is estimated at forty millions of silver rubles. The funds re. gutted will be furnished by the banking house of Messrs. Heerkert and Dufour, at Leipxic, with the guarantee of the Russian Govern. ment, and at four percent. interest. The Keeper of the Seals, the Attorney-General, M. Hebert, and several magistrates were in conference at the Palace from twelve tar two o'clock to-day. Count Mole had a long conference this afternoon at the Pavilion Marsau, with the Duke of Orleans. The Portuguese Ambassador, after having had a long conference yesterday with M. Ouizot, went to the Palace, which he did not quit till a very late hour this morning. This afternoon there have been numerous visits between - the several legations. The Portu. guese had a conference between twelve and one o'clock with Lord Cowley, at the Hotel of the British Legation.—Commerce. We received last night Hamburgh Papers up to the 18th instant, but they do not contain any news of im portance. The King of PRUSSIA left Hanover on the 15th for Berlin.

The accounts from Jamaica, received via New York, a few days back, of the fire at Kingston, is fully confirmed. The taking of Comona's fleet in Zispata, on the 15th of De cember, is also confirmed. The following is an extract from a proclamation by Senor Tono, addressed to his fellow-countrymen : " Her Britannic Majesty's brig Charybdis, with the object of avenging the private wrongs of her nation, happily found her self with us at the time that, on the 15th December, we at • tacked the federal fleet at Zispata. Her intrepid Commander, De- Courcy, engaged and captured the enemy's brig Marceline, with the gallantry worthy of an Englishman ; and 1 have, in the name of my Government, ceded to him the said vessel as his prize, since it is no more than just." 'I he Jamaica papers contain accounts from Venezuela up to the 30th November, at which period all was tranquil and prosperous. The Trinidad agricultural report of December states, that the past month has been unusually dry, so much so, that in many places there is great apprehensions of the plants failing. The canes for the ensuing crop luok exceedingly well, and from the prevalence of dtought appear very ripe, and will, no doubt, make superior sugar. The labouring population is improving in every way, espe cially since the abolition of allowances, and the introduction of moderate wages. MONEY and tOIVIMERCIAL NEWS.

The gallery of the public buildings, adjoining the official apart, ments of the Governor, is described as being crowded with labourers, and it is believed that there are but one or two estates within the counties of •Demerara and Essequibo on which all the gangs, with the exception of the Portuguese immigrants, have not struck work. On some plantations violence had been threatened to the gentlemen owning or in charge of them. The cause of this outbreak is nothing more or less than au at tempt on the part of the employing or planting body to bring down wages to a rational proportion to the market prices of produce. The Stock Markets towards the close of business yesterday became depressed, in consequence of various rumours of further failures. Consols declined per cent. upon the opening quo tations, closing at 884 89 for Money and the Account, at which price they opened this morning. Three per Cents.

There is an entire absence of news in the City just now, and all e} es are turned to Parliamentary affairs. It is the opinion in most quarters that Sir Robert Peel has his plan for the import duties already matured, and only awaits the decision upon the Corn question to bring it forward. As there is natu rally a very large number of persons interested in the repeal and medificatitur of duties, some impatience and anxiety is ma nifested for the denouement, for the delay acts in the most prejudicial manner upon every branch of commerce.

CORN AND CURRENCY.—We are importing from 40,000,0001. to 50,000,0001. of goods every year, consisting of silks, cotton, coffee, and the like, and yet we never hear of a drain of gold to pay for these articles, because we export our manufac tures in exchange; but when we have to import corn we hear of large draws of gold fro . - n the country, the effect of which is to em barrass our manufacturers. The law for importing corn, differing from the law which regulates every other article, produces these convulsions,-- The Struggle.

SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Vubitt 14: lotritosi. " Who runs may read." PO7iLEIGN. On Sunday the King of the French presided at a Cabinet Council, at which the American Ambassador's protest against the ratification of the Treaty of the Five Powers, for the suppression of slavery was discussed. The result has not yet transpired. The Christinos have proposed to Don Carlos that his son shall wed Queen Isabella, but that he shall have been previously proclaimed King of Arragon, and the Queen Isabella Queen of Castile—an arrangement which would secure to them equal rights, alid be at the same time a step towards the re-establishment of the Salic law. But this has been rejected by Carlos. A marriage between the Duke D'Aumale and Queen Isabella is the great hobby of the Tuileries ; the protest of Queen Christina against the decree of the Cortes de priving her of the guardianship of her daughters, was advised by King Louis Philippe, to entitle that Princess to dispose of the hand of Queen Isabella at pleasure, and to furnish to his Majesty (when he shall deem the moment propitious for invading the country) a plausible pretext for marching a French army across the Spanish fron tiers. Accounts from the Hague announce the retirement of M. Van Manaan, Minister of Justice, after fifty-five years of service. Madi-id letters of the 13th inst. speak of the probable retirement from office of the Minister of Finance, Senor Surra. It would appear that he had recommended his colleagues to admit the importation of cotton manufac tures into Spain on paying a duty of 25 per cent, but that the other members of the Cabinet wished to increase the duty to 35 per cent. PARLIAMENTARY. The Lords met last night, but transacted no business of the least importance, and adjourned till Thursday. In answer to Mr. Labouchere, Mr. Gladstone stated that it was the intention of the Government to make even per cent., or whatever sum might be determined on as a protection for our manufactures in the colonies, un der the Colonial Bill, a real bona fide protection to that amount ; and not allow the Colonial Legislature to set it aside, though they are to be allowed to continue any differential duties they may think proper in addition to the seven per cent. In answer to Mr. Ilindley, Sir Robert Peel stated that the Government had used its influence to induce the Northern Powers to recognise the present Government of Spain, but he could not tell when the recognition would take place. The Right Hon. Baronet stated that, under the present Government, Spain was making consi derable progress. Mr. Cobden gave notice of a resolution, that as Par liatnent admitted it would not regulate wages it ought not to pass a law interfering with food, without first inquiring into its effects on wages. Mr. Murphy moved for papers to elucidate the de plorable transaction which cost Mr. Bell his life in Central America, as already narrated in The Sun ; but withdrew his motion on Lord Stanley explaining that the Government had as yet only ex parte information on the subject. In answer to Lord John Russell Sir Robert Peel ex pressed himself anxious to have his Corn duties passed as speedily as possible into a law, and that he should, at the earliest opportunity, explain his financial views in a Committee of Ways and Means. The. Chancellor of the Exchequer announced, in an• saver to a question, that the Government had a measure in hand to correct the state of the coinage. The adjourned debate on Mr. Villiers' motion was again resumed, and occupied the House for the evening. It was again adjourned. PUBLIC OPINION. The liforniniAdTeTt7Ter;a7s that the anti-monopo lists have reason to congratulate themselves upon the strength and soundness o their cause, when they find the Times 4. the great master of unscrupulous perver sion and of specious sophistry d riven to the sorry expe dient of resisting the claims of the manufacturing and trading interests—comprising more than GO per cent. of the gritss population of the kingdom —upon the ex ploded, as well as the inconsequential ground that the agriculturists bear peculiar burdens, and therefore re quire peculiar privileges and immunities." The Times, in alluding to an action brought against it yesterday by a Polish emigrant, takes the opportunity of paying the following deserved tribute of respect to the memory of the late Mr. Barnes :—" A gentleman con nected with us, who died last year, and whose valuable services we must ever most highly appreciate, among the many excellent qualities which commanded the goodwill of his friends, was characterized by one which, though peculiarly amiable in private life, yet occasionally ex posed him to some little inconveniences in the particular circumstances of his position —extreme good-nature and kindness of disposition. He was quite unable to with stand a tale of distress ; and in a very public situation in London this inability, when once found out, exposes a man, not only to expense, but to no small amount of im position." The Herald is of opinion that the " poverty and pe riodical distress of British India are the results of Govern ment neglect to the material interests of that dependent empire, and devotion to war and bloodshed, ever justi fied by the miserable plea of. necessity. The great want of India is capital, and capital has not flowed thither, because there have been so few attractions in the shape of good laws, efficient police, and extensive public works and improvements." The Chronicle observes in reference to the refusal of France to sign the Slave Trade Treaty :—" It was very well observed by Lord Palmerston that the draft of the treaty originated as much with the French as with the English Government; and, in fact, the refusal to ratify comes at such an advanced stage .of the negotiations as to be a violation of the usual practice of governments. It is only where a Plenipotentiary has acted without in structions, or has gone beyond his instructions, that it is at all usual for a government to refuse to ratify what he has signed." The Post says :—" Some weeks ago the wise, modest, and very argumentative personages of the Anti-Corn law faction, shouted to the four corners of the earth that foreign trade was destroyed by the Corn-law. Sud denly a new light has broken in upon them, and now, front Brotherton the portly, down to Cobden the lean, they all protest that the home demand it is which has fallen off, so that they really do not sell more than five or six times as much as they did a dozen years ago, although they want to sell ten or twelve times as much."

" Travelling around Bolton," says a correspondent, " for ten, twenty, and forty miles, I have daily, nay hourly opportunities of feeling the pulse of the faro ers, and knowing how it beats toward Peel and his coadjutors, and I find that, even amongst those who supported the Tories at the last election, their confidence in the present Ministry is wholly gone." PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS. The plan for a French asylum in London, originating with the Comte d'Orsay, for the relief of such natives of France, as circumstances have reduced to a state of destitution, since their sojourn in our metropolis, is now making progress ; a committee has been appointed, and subscription books opened, both in London and Paris. MAW AND POLICE. On Saturday a Welsh girl of the name of Jones, ap peared at the Marylcbone Court, to complain of an out rage committed upon her by a man who had arrived in the same coach with her from the country, on the pre vious Wednesday. According to her account, the un known gentleman made several attempts on her virtue. but finding her proof against his wickedness, he blind folded her, tied her hand and foot, a n d b un dl e d her into a cab. The driver, after conveying her some dis tance out of town, at length took pity on her and un bound her hands and legs. Mr. Talbot, the Secretary of the Society for the protection of young females, has been making active search after the " unknown," but without effect. The girl says she comes from Tyny Colym Dolgelly, Merionethshire. On Monday four Sc )tehmen, named Miller, Anderson, Walters, and Brewster, three of them stokers, and the other engineer on board the Perth steam-ship, were charged at the Thames' Court with being drunk and dis orderly, and while in that state forcing a policeman over board, and assaulting Richard Day, an old waterman.

BRISTOL-FRIDAY NIGHT. A great excitement has occurred here to-night. The dis cussion on Peel's " sliding humbug" and the attempts of Lord John Russell to insult the c.nintry with his "fixed duty" pro ject has excited the indignation of all the liberal-minded citizens. All parties were astonished that the wealthy Re formers did not call a meeting, and were glad to find that on Friday there was an announcement that the Chartists were about to take the matter up, and that a meeting would be held on Brandon-hill, at seven o'clock in the evening. It was ru moured that a deputation had been sent to Bath, to invite the attendance of Mr. Henry Vincent. Nothing could exceed the enthusiasm that prevailed. Groups of men were seen peram bulating the streets at four o'clock in the afternoon, crying " Vincent on Brandon-hill at seven o'clock." Hundreds of persons were assembled in the central part of the city, a band of music and several flags were,provided, and the multitude hav ing been joined by Dr. M'Dowal (one of the Chartist Exe cutive), moved off in the direction of the railway station to meet Mr. Vincent. In Temple-street Mr. Vincent was recognised and was most enthusiastically cheered ; a coach was provided in which Vin cent and M‘Dowall were seated, and at the appointed time the procession moved off towards 13randon.hill, through the prin cipal streets. Thousands thronged the streets ; tt e immense crowd were extremely excited, cries of " Down with Peel and the Corn-laws"—" No Russell fixture"—" No Monopoly"— " Universal Suffrage as a means to repeal the Corn-laws," and the " the Charter for ever," rent the air. The residences of noted Tories were greeted with the most discordant yells, while cheers were repeatedly called for and given for " Vincent and M'Dowall, the repeal of the Bread Tax, and the Charter." On reaching Brandon-hill the meeting, which consisted of all classes, among whom were recognised many Corn-law re pealers of this City, and which was composed of from 10,000 to 12,000 persons, was addressed by Mr. Simeon in a very judicious strain, who was followed by Dr. M'Dowall in a very animated speech ; after which Mr. Vincent ad• dressed them in a spirited and eloquent manner for nearly two hours. The speakers all denounced Peel and his Corn-laws, and at the same time declaring that the time was come when all classes should unite in favour of popular repre sentation, so that all monopolies may be abolished. Mr. Vincent very earnestly appealed to the Anti-Corn-law party to join in an attempt to remodel the representative system, so that an end may be put at once, and for ever, to class legis lation. The speeches were of a nature calculated to do much good. At the conclusion the dense multitude formed in pro cession, and returned to the city, displaying the greatest en thusiam in favour of democratic principles and free trade. In the centre of the city Mr. Vincent dispersed the people by calling upon them to retire in quiet to their respective homes. The Chartists and other Liberals appear to be actively united in their denunciation of Peel and his brother conspirators against the starving millions._ WOOLWICH-SATURDAY. The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, with the view of satisfying themselves and the service generally of the effici. ency and comparative strength of the chains and anchors used in her Majesty s navy, ordered one of the best and largest anchors, weighing 96cwt. 3qrs. and 51bs., suitable for a first rate ship of war, made at Woolwich Dockyard on Perring's principle, to be attached to a chain Q inches in diameter, the usual dimensions, and have both tested by Bramah's hydraulic machine, constructed for that purpose. Thursday being the day at first named for the proofs being made, Rear-Admiral Sir James Gordon, K.C.8., Lieutenant- Governor of Greenwich Hospital, arrived at the Woolwich Dockyard, and a great number of naval officers, celebrated engineers, and scientific men, from various parts of the country, attended ; but owing to the non-arrival of some of the Lords of the Admiralty, who were expected to be present, the testing was postponed until yesterday afternoon , when their Lord ships other duties still preventing them from being present, the experiment was made in the presence of Captain Sir Francis A. Collier, Knt., C.B. and K. C. H., Superintendent of the Royal Dockyard; Captain Mingaye, Captain Rideout, Capt. Denison, Captain Denham, Commander Tresahar, Lieutenant Lawrence, and a number of officers of the Royal Navy. Amongst the military officers present were Lieutenant-Col. Dundas, C. 8., Lieutenant-Col. Sabine, and Lieutenant-Col. Chalmer, of the Royal Artillery, and Captains Blythe and Herrick of the line. Amongst the engineers were Mr. Howard, Cornhill ; Mr. Bremner, Edinburgh ; Mr. 4thiiiiPson Glasgow ; and M r . Seeward, Limehouse. Mr. Oliver fang, Woolwich ; Mr. John Fincham, Chatham ; Mr. J. Atkins. Sheerness ; Mr. T. F. Haw Ices, Plymouth; Mr. R. Blake, Portsmouth; and Mr. Roberts, late of Devonport Dockyard, forming the Com mittee of Master Shipwrights, appointed by the Lord Com missioners of the Admiralty to examine suggestions for the im provement of vessels employed in her Majesty's service, were also present, and a number of private gentlemen, apparently anxious to know the result. On the order being given and the power applied, Mr. Ewart, Chief Engineer of the Woolwich dockyard, examined the progress of the strain, and found that, with a weight of sixty tons, the point of the fluke had been drawn forward a space of two inches and three quarters from its usual position with the ring end of the shank. At this period of the experi ment the hydraulic pressure was withdrawn, the anchor having been found incapable for the service for which it was intended, as it ought not to have yielded so much with a power of 66i tons, the full weight it would have to resist before it could have been passed as perfect. Capt. Sir . F. A. Collier ordered that the power should be again applied, to as certain the utmost strain the anchor or the chain would bear before breaking ; and when the full pressure of 664 tons was put: on, the anchor was found to have yieled 4} inches from the point of the fluke to the ring-end of the shank, and the mo ment the strain was equal to 68 tons, or 14 tons above the proof, the shank broke completely through, and the parts en tirely separated from each other, at about eighteen inches from the fluke end. The usual test for the chain of an anchor of 96 cwt. is 81i tors, consequently the chain had not the full power upon it, and did not appear to be in the least strained ; bur it will, on a future occasion, have the full power applied to it to ascertain its capabilities. It was intended to have tested one of Porter's patent anchors of 28 cwt., which Mr. Honiball, the patentee, felt confident would bear an equal strain before breaking as the large anchor of 96 cwt. ; but the time requisite to remove such a heavy mass of iron as the broken anchor, and the breaking of a small portion of the stretching frame, caused the trial to be postponed until the middle of next week.
