WEDNESDAY MORNING MAY 11, 1542. The House of Commons was chiefly occupied last night with the Tariff. Sir R. PEEL employed very nearly three hours in explaining its principles and de fending some of its details. We must confine ourselves to noticing a few particulars. Sir ROBERT admitted at the beginning that the delay which had taken place since he first announced his projects to the House and the country, had been unavoidable, and of absolute necessity. He did not eompluin, as his scribes have done in his name, of im pediments thrown in his way by the Opposition ; he knew that such complaints were without foundation, and he truly ascribed the delay to the magnitude of the task, to the imperfection of his first rude scheme of a new tariff, to the propriety of consulting some of the great interests with which he was dealing, and to the neces sity of making alterations' in his own plan, in order to make it perfect. By the first few sen tences, the ungrateful Premier cleared away from the I ,ll,ige the mud and filth with which the Tory Journals: h7e,e , bespattered them during the last month. The delay is Sir R. PEEL'S own fault, and whatever disappointment the people may have felt must be exclusively attributed to him. The Right Hon. Baronet took great pains to sooth and mollify . the agriculturists, and therefore he pointed out at considerable length, the advantages they would derive from the reduction of the duty on clover seed from eos to 10. per cwt. (no less than 141,000 cwt. of that seed having being imported last year) ; on grase seed from 20s. to ss. per cwt. ; on onion seed from is. 6d. per 11 , . to 20e. per cwt. ; and on lint seed and rape seed, by which they sil l get oil-cake cheap, to Id. per quarter. But his .thief effort on that head, was reserved for the end o: his speech, when he dwelt on the prodigious nd vanteges to the feeder of cattle in being able to obtain lean :tattle at a reduced price. He asserted, to our asto nishment, that, notwithstanding the exorbitant price t. \;hieh cattle and meat have risen in the market for slit last few years,the cattle-feeders had made no profit by fattening cattle, and that they only continue to fatten ;them for the sake of the manure. At the same time the 70light . ilon: Baronet, following Mr. M'Creeoen, assured the feedersof cattle that the price would not be at all retineo by his new system of duties. He made this out n ite elaborately, by referring to the price of meat and cat tie in Belgium, France, and Holland, and came to the con .clueion that his alteration of duty would merely give a .security against any great further increase in the price. We do not know whether the Right Hon. Baronet meant it or nor, or whether he counts on the hopes of the ;town popaistion refusing belief to his statements, but he proved that the alterations relative to cattle and meat, which have hem so glowingly described, will be of little 01 ' no e*arleie to the consumer. We watt. t: direct attention to that part of his speech, in which be proved, by a series of facts, that the price of cattle and of meat had been gradually ris ing ti. roughont Eurog. at least since 1835. Itre regard .this as a v er y etee `ous circumstance, and in fer front it that the bulk o,e the population through out Europe have become greater consumers of meat, and that the supply has not kept pace . With the demand. We inter from it also that all the fears- ...which prompt the stetesnian, as the organ of the landlord; ?'etre'c ()rnlilit injustice—that free trade would cause tl Ova.: reduction of the price of corn, are wholly groundl, 'A 4 = A glenuil ' (l forme it implies a high pries, of Weed, at. vi that di. amid would keep, pace with the most enlarge al supply, i="d ;maintain the price o: core. In fact, S. .statement demote:tree-es that the people of' ail Europe Are under-fed, and that it is a cram i n ju s t i(9 ` ) in all lie Governments of Europe to put jmi edimeete in the - way of their subjects obtainine mu eh ford as possible. England,' and Europ e at lame are not s:if ficiently cultivated to supply the wants of a growing - pc - pulation, and statesmen Cannot reasonably dread auy great reduction in price. Sir R. PEEL had some crumbs of corm ;ort for classes. To the furniture makers be pro. re ised add: • tional employment by lowering the duties on ar k sods. To the shipbuilders he held 'out the great a dva stage of cheap timber, and cheap copper bolts, and el leap copper sheathing. To the fishermen he promised cheal..er and better boats. Manufacturers are to L dei lighted by a small reduction on the duty on sper JIB oil, abou t one-eighth of its price. The bulk of Vae peopl'e are to have herrings cheap, and potatoes abuntionce. To every class he threw some little piece of promised advantage as a bait, and nearly all classes seem to have been hooked. In favour of cheapness, to our delight, he exhausted his vocabulary of praise. He stoutly maintained the principle that we ought to buy at the cheapest market. If other nations would not make reduction in their tar:fi's they would suffer from it; if they would not buy at the cheapest market, we ought ; and trust that they would soon repent of their wasteful obstinacy. We re joiced at hearing this, but we ask why this principle was not applied to the Corn-law, and why the Tory jour nals, for the last two years, have, day after day, been filled with tirades against cheapness ? Sir H. PEEL was eloquent in its favour on behalf of the labourers, but his supporters in the Press have continually dafended dear corn as keeping up the rate of wages. Sir ROBERT smashed whole volumes of Tory argument by his recom mendations of cheapness, to be produced by lowering duties. • The Right Hon. Baronet was also great about the smuggler, whom he styled " almost the natural cor rector of exorbitant duties." 1L excited some merri ment in the House, by reading a letter from a notorious smuggler, offering to some house in town to supply it with various articles of blonde at about eight par cent. . _ additional on the price. lie also showed — that he had been amongst the smugglers, by producing a parcel of straw fur making hats, which pays a penny du y, inclosed within which was a roll of manufactured straw to be smuggled, which pays duty of 7s. Gd. So the Right Honourable Baronet gave a practical proof of the folly of those high duties he and the rest of our states men have imposed and maintained on nearly all kinds of commodities. We heard the close of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S speech with compassion for his infirmity. He has just passed a Corn-law, of which one striking fea ture is, that it keeps out the flour and grain of the United States. He proposes an alteration in the tariff, which leaves the duties on their tobacco and cotton untouched ; and which makes a concession to the cattle breeders and the growers of barley and oats in Europe, but by which the Americans cannot profit. lie reduces the duty on Baltic timber, evidently to be inde pendent of the supply from America, much of which, though nominally Colonial, comes from the Unit2d States. llis new Corn-bill, and his tariff, therefore, per petuate the exclusion of the commodities of the United States from our markets ; and yet he discoursed largely and bravely on the United States increasing their custom dues to collect a revenue, and expatiated for a consider able time on the benefit the example of England would confer on mankind in general, and on America in particillar. Poor blinded and besotted man, he is setting America the very worst example, and is knowingly, if not wilfully, destroying the trade of England with that free country. To be sure his scribes promise, though we place no faith in them, a compensation in an extension of trade with the Magyar serfs of Prince ESTERHAZY. We stated yesterday, that we thought Sir RonEwr PEEL'S universal charity sermon, was an awful event. We felt convinced that he would not recommend such a silly measure, but in some fit of desperation, or from some alarming circumstances. We can now state tha the Right Honourable Baronet is greatly alarmed at the reports which he has received from Lancashire. The working people have given the authorities to understand that they do not mean to lie down and die peaceably. Hence the alarm of Sir ROBERT PEEL, and honce his late-coming charity is the offspring of his fear. His alarm is an awful event. We are glad to find that many journals directly op_ posed to the principles of the Chartists strongly and em phatically condemn the decision of the House of Com mons in refusing to hear their grievances at its bar. The House assumes the right to tax the people ; to make laws to regulate their conduct throughout life ; to restrict the quantity, and keep up the price, of their food ; to compel them to shed their blood by land and si-a, at the pleasure of any Minister who chooses to plunge the nation into unholy wars ; but when millions of them raise their untuned voices and rugged hands against oppressions which they can no longer endure, they are insolently told that Parliament has no time to waste in listening to them. First among the journal., not strictly political, which have treated the refusal of the House of Commons to hear the complaints of the poor in the most enlarged and Christian spirit, may be classed the True Tablet. From an able article we quote the following : Sir Robert Peel, indeed, like a good guardian of the public time—he is a timepiece in more senses than one—cannot hear of such an obstacle being thrown in the way of the due de spatch of public business. Good Sir Robert, pray tell us, if you can, what business can properly be called public, if this is not entitled to the name. We protest we know of none. The distresses and sufferings of the lower classes are emphatically the public business of the day. There is none snore important, none more urgent, none for which it is so important to secure an early hearing, in order to settle with regularity now what, if left unsettled now, may have to be adjusted with a most un pleasant irregularity afterwards. Public business forsooth 1 The necessities of a sixth of the population, who complain that they want bread, that you govern them ill, and have no feel ing for their sufferings—depend upon it, in any honest dic tionary, in any language under the sun, heathen or Christian, these matters come under the definition of public business. The man who cannot get on with the public business if he attends to these matters, is very like the man who couldn't see the wood for the trees. Public business, indeed ! The time will come when the Members of the Honourable and Right Honourable Houses will most bitterly regret that they have not, both in their individual and their legislatorial capacities, devoted a great deal more time to this department of public business. We are entirely of this opinion. Should it never come the termination will be more dreadful still ; foe the crash will be sudden, and so conclusive, that there will be no room for regret—no time for repentance. And yet in the teeth of the vote of Tuesday night, the Tory and Whig statesmen, as they flatteringly cull themselves, would have the country believe that they think of nothing but how best to govern the people. They add hypocrisy to falsehood, and by presuming to understand the grievances of the people better than themselves, insolence to both. In what estimation re • fleeting men of Liberal, but not of Radical politics, are very generally beginning to hold the Right Hon. Member for Edinburgh, may be gathered from the following ex tract from the clever Journal above quoted. We can assure Mr. MACAULAY'S supporters that the ' True Tabiet expresses a very general growing conviction respecting the public character of that Right lion. Edinburgh Re viewer : Little as we like the adverse decision of the House on Tuesday night, we disapprove far more strongly of the reasons on which the vote was grounded. The spokesman of the House in this affair—the orator who made it his business to find both parties in arguments—the philosoper who undertook the arduous labour of furnishins Hon. Members with a plausible theory on which to act—was Mr. Macaulay. We cordess to having con siderable prepossession in favour of this gentleman, and many reasons for speaking of him with good will. We always ream his speeches and his writings with interest, and very often with profit and advantage. But with all this, we must say, that the more we see of him in the House of Commons the less does our confidence in his statesmanship become. He is a great rhetori cian, a great theorist, but, we are sadly afraid, a somewhat slip pery politician. We do not mean by these expressions to charge hint with anything like positive or personal dishonesty—far from it. But we cannot get it out of our minds that he is a man whit has no faith on any political question whatever. He may have a strong opinion that such and such conclusions are sound or unsound ; but he seems to have no firm conviction of the im portance of the conclusions themselves. He views politics as a game ; he harangues as an advocate; and he makes it his busi ness to cover whatever position his friends may occupy with a fence of dazzling sophistry. But what is it that induces him to take a part in the game of politics at all? Ambition, tin. doubtedly ; nor, as we think, an essentially dishonest ambition. What determines him to adopt the Liberal, or Whig side in politics is, we firmly believe, an honest conviction. But where are his sympathies? Whose applause does he value ? What is his public? We answer that there is about him, as far as we can discover, a hard intellectual pride, in which, as in a coat of mail, he wraps himself against the approaches of common men. He desires the Applause of coteries who form his public ; and his sympathies are not with the masses,not with the poor, not with the uneducated, but with the better-informed men of h:s own class. Ile cannot identify himself with them. A certain degree of consideration from the poorer class is necessary to enable him to keeais seat, and he strives to earn it; but his efforts in this kiriff appear, not dishonest, but laboured—task work, uncongenial to his taste. In spouting ingenious theories, clothed in a brilliant rhetoric, he is in his true element. But though, we dare say, warm-heat tedenough in his domestic relations, he has not the soul to be a great statesman and to win the confidence of the poor. He does not, and he cannot, bear the poor in his heart always; they are a weight too burdensome for him ; but he patronizes them, and, like a god, would condescendingly shower benefits upon them out of a higher sphere than theirs. He cares for them, we doubt not ; but he could not love them, live with them, and die for them. For anything we know he might die rather than do a dishonourable action; he might be a martyr to duty, but not sy t e o arr t vd h po i se e eo.ve o r rst. the ec Wh limitsei s theofman question whuo compelledc w h u h pt e yu t whether e of r odro h w e at hr w de o mb u y l a d t h s e t e w p t two yards over the limits of compelled duty to do them a hazardous service. Such is the man who was put forward by the Wlsigshazardous to oppose "the people's petition." tionaries; for frequenting theatres and other places of r I public amusement, and little time therefore is left for reading or religious duties. To put an end to this anoma!y, therefore, in France, as compared with most other countries, is the object of the present move ment on the part of the clergy, and were they to confine their application to the Sovereign for the due observance of the Sunday alone, we have little doubt that they would accomplish their purpose, with the general consent of the public. The Archbishop, however, goes considerably farther, and expresses a hope that at no distant period it it will be possible " for the Government to put an end to public labour on the days consecrated to God, and that, influenced by the example of the Court, these sa cred days will be respected by all Frenchmen." This is attempting too much, and possibly may frustrate the whole plan: _The history of France furnishes but too many inatanees of the encroaching, selfish, and wicked disposition of the priesthood, and should suspicion be excited:;,that plans are in agita tion for re:,toring irdi46dy to their former power and influence over King''and people, a universal outcry would be raised against them. Not satisfied with the observance of one day in the week, the clergy appear anxious to have all the festivals of the Church placed on the same footing. The KING had the good sense, how ever, to refuse this portion of the request, and to give a significant reply to the address of the Prelate by countenancing the non-observance of Holy Thurs day, and employing workmen on that day for re pairing the palace of St. Cloud. We have not ascertained the KING'S sentiments regarding the be coming observance of Sunday, but it can hardly fail to meet with his cordial approbation. Example, however, in an affair of this kind, would be better than precept, and were the Court to lead the way the people would fol low, without compulsion or legislative enactment. Any attempt to legislate on the subject would be fluid. The folly of the Agnewites here has been so outrageous, that it would be held up to the people of France as a sufficient cause for rejecting the measure at once. We have Madrid Journals of the Ist inst. The young QUEEN on that day was to give a grand dinner to her uncle, FRANCISCO DE PAULO, of whose removal from the Capital nothing is now said. Should that Prince conduct himself with discretion, there will be no necessity for his . removal from the Capital ; but he has an ill adviser in his wife, the Infanta Donna CARLOTTA, one of the most inveterate political intriguers in Europe. This Princess would be ten times more dangerous than she really is but for her violence of temper, which can brook no contradiction. The Spanish Deputies are occupied with the Bill for granting a new loan of 160 millions of reels. So many amendments were offered upon the Bill, that it was expected the debates upon it would last a fortnight. The Expectador, a Madrid Ministerial Journal, repu diates the idea of the Five Great Powers undertaking to dispose of the hand of the young Queen of SPAIN. That journal is perfectly right. The marriage of the young QugEN is strictly a question within the province of the Spanish Government. The insurrection of the 2d of May, 1808, against the French, was ordered by the Municipality of Madrid to be celebrated with great pomp. The families of the victims who perished on that memorable occasion were invited to attend. On the Bourse on the 31st ult. three bargains were done in the Three per Cents. for 23i at 60 days, with i premium, and 17 in the Five per Cents., with 11 coupons, for 261 27 at 20 days, and 28 1 / e % at 60 days, with i premium. There is not much news in the French journals The Government was busily employed sifting the details of the conspiracy discovered in the capital on Thursday and Friday, for killing the KING. The news papers say little upon the subject, Ministers wisely re solving to make no unnecessary noise about the affair. Now that the walls are in progress, the less that is said about crimes so enormous the better. Nothing is more dangerous than to familiarise the public mind with the possible commission of such an enormity as the murder of a Sovereign. The ensemble of the first article of the Railway Bill has been adopted by the Chamber of Deputies. It esta blishes the following lines :- 1. From Paris to the Belgian frontiers. 2. From Paris to the Channel. 3. From Paris to the frontiers of Germany, by Nancy, and Strasbourg. 4. From Paris to the Mediterranean, by Lyons, Marseilles, and Cette, 5. From Paris to the frontiers of Spain, by Tours, Bor deaux, and Bayonne. 6. From Paris to the Ocean, by Tours and Nantes. 7. From Paris to the centre of France, by Bourges. 8. From the Mediterranean to the Rhine, by Lyons, Dijon, and blulhausen. 9. And lastly, from the Mediterranean to the Ocean, by Toulouse and Bordeaux. The French Government has authorised the establish ment of several nunneries of Sisters of Mercy and Sisters of St. Theresa, who devote themselves to the education of the poor and rich. The following are extracts from the French Journals : The tailor in whose house the incendiary bombs were seized at named Orit. The number of persons arrested is twenty :wo. Among them is said to be Piegard, who was condemned ror the affair of the Rue des Prouvaires, and pardoned. Jourdain, the examining Judge, continues the investiga ion into the affair. The Commerce publishes a letter from a Captain Williams, dated Havre, the 6th instant, complaining of the conduct of a collector at Sydney, New South Wales, in having seized a French whaler, called the Ville de Bordeaux, under the pre tence that she had violated some local regulations. The let ter further states, that " the British Government offered to restore the ship, on condition that the owner paid the expenses of the capture. The owner refused, and brought an action against the English Government." The action is pending, but " the owner says he expects no redress unless a French ship of war be sent on the station." The Phare says—" The accounts which we receive, by pri vate letters from Catalonia, are rather serious. On the 25th there was a disturbance in the Theatre of Barelona ; seditious cries were uttered. On the following day there was some agi tation in the city ; the Captain- General, Van Halen, had thought it necessary to double the posts, and to take other mea sures to prevent any disorder. The cause of all these demon strations is said to be a letter which M. Villarregut, Deputy to the Cortes, is reported to have written to his constituents, to acquant them with his apprehensions respecting the Treaty of Commerce with England ; the preponderance of that rower in Spain, and the credit which M. Arlen enjoys at Madrid, makes the Deputy fear that it will be speedily signed. All these re ports, which sensible people consider to be exaggerated, make a surprising impression on the mass of the people. Already sever al manufactories at Manresa and Borga are closed. The workmen are discontinued." The Barcelona Journals of the let of May, announce, in fact, that for the last two days energetic measures of precaution had been taken to prevent any disturbance.— commerce.

This is, we believe, considerably above the average price, duty included, at which they sell their hops. If the foreigner, therefore, could grow and import hops for nothing, he could not undersell the Kentish hop-growers. The re duction of the duty will bare the effect of discouraging unfounded hopes, and restrain the cultivation of hops within due limits. People will not expect to make for tunes, and so they will be prudent. SIR R. PELL'S MASQUERADE. We understand that, in the event of his scheme of the General Charity Sermon failing, it is Sir Robert Peel's intention to get up a Masquerade, on a magnificent scale, at Covent-garden Theatre, the proceeds of which are to be devoted to the benefit of the starving Operatives in the manufacturing districts. The scheme is generally approved of at the Clubs, and we ' , earn that the follow- french The .i c k .,, r i e tt l i t ici arebisthop litn ofl ti ' u A i n ) it; exertingand tlie themselves Dignitaries n o t pftrhee ing gentlemen have kindly consented to take part in it.

The Gazette des Tribunaux states, that a number of persons were arrested on Thursday and Friday last in Paris, charged with a conspiracy to kill the King. The police discovered a vast number of incendiary bombshells at the residence of a tailor, in the Passage Violet. A • quantity of gunpowder and eartouches, just made, were discovered in other quarters. Amongst the persons arrested are said to be Considere, who had been twice tried and acquitted before the Chamber of Peers, and Poncelet, who was convicted allaying been engaged in the conspiracy of the Rue des Prouvaires and amnestied. The judicial investigation was proceeding with the utmost activity. The Moniteur announces that Counts De Grouchy and Houdetot, Camp Marshals, are to be promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Generals, in place of General Delon, admitted into the section of the reserve, and Lieutenant-General Terlet, deceased. Colonels Dulern bert, Devaux, De Blocqueville, Locqueneatix, Audoy, La fosse, Tillery, and Gentil, are appointed Camp Marshals. The Gazette rlf Upper Germany of the 4th instant states, that when M. Pugeot applied to Prince Metternich to enter into an arrangement relative to the Queen of Spain's marriage, the Prince replied-Ist, that the northern Powers would not interfere with respect to the Queen of Spain's marriage until the favourable moment should arrive ; 2dly, that they would not interfere in the internal affairs of Spain, nor would they acknowledge the existing Government ; 3dly, that neither the French nor English Government could induce them to alter their determination. "We have been assured," says the Semaphore de Marseilles of the 4th instant, "that Charles Albert, King of Sardinia, has lately adopted a measure worthy of the worst times of the middle ages. He has ordered the expulsion of the Israelites from the town of Savona, within three days, and the re-union in one of the filthiest streets in Genoa (which will thus have its Ghetto) of the Jewish population of that city." The Prussian State Gazette states, that in pursuance of an ordinance, dated the 23d of March last, the Vice roy of Poland was about to issue a third series of Trea sury bonds, to the amount of 60,000 Polish florins, bearing interest at 5 per cent. PAMLIAmENTAIVE. Several Bills were forwarded a stage in the House of Lords last night, and, amongst them, the Copyright Bill was read a second time. The discussion is to take place on the Bill being committed. Lord Brougham moved the second reading of his Indemnity Bill, and warmly defended the conduct of the Lords in muti lating the Bribery Bill sent up from the Commons last session. He did not press his motion, on its being pointed out to him that he ought to have given notice of his intention to move the se cond reading of the Bill. Lord Clifford of Chudleigh drew their Lordships' attention to the condition of the Catholics in the Presidency of Madras, but declined to move for a Committee to inquire into the sub ject, because he believed the Government would pay proper at tention to it. In the Commons, Mr. P. Howard moved that a new writ should be issued for Nottingham, Mr. Roebuck opposed the motion. Sir Robert Peel havieg also declared against it, the motion was withdrawn. Mr. Redington moved for leave to bring in a Bill to disfran chise Sudbury, and gave a description of the bribery and cor ruption in that borough. There was no opposition to the motion, and the Bill was ordered to be brought in. In an elaborate speech, which lasted two hours and a halts, Sir Robert Peel explained the principle, and justified many of the details, of the tariff. Mr. Labouchere followed, and stated, at some length, why he preferred the Whig commercial reform to that proposed by Sir Robert Peel. At the same time, he gave his approbation to many parts of the tariff. From the Opposition Sir Robert received a good deal of praise, from his own side very cold support. There was a little dispute, too, as to who were the best free-traders. Lord Howick withdrew for the present his motion about colonial duties, to renew it on the next opportunity. Major Vivian moved for the suppressed passages of Mr. Aleek's Report. It was admitted that there were suppressed pas sages, but the Tories insisted that the fact could only have been known by a gross breach of confidence. A warm, though a short, debate ensued, Mr. Matthias Attwood and other Tories supporting the motion, which ended by a division, when the motion was lost by 67. The House went into Committee pro forma, and it was settled that the tariff should be proceeded with on Friday week. Ihe third reading of the Income-tax Bill will not take place till after the Whitsun holidays. Pursiac OPINION. The Chronicle says, in reference to Mr. Roebuck's motion : " It was impossible to listen to the debate last night without being strongly impressed with the necessity of great vigilance upon the part of the Liberal party, to prevent the object of this inquiry being defeated by their opponents. While upon the one hand the Government refused to take up the subject themselves, there was an evident disposition among their party to restrict as much as possible the limits of inquiry. It would be manifestly but a mockery to enter upon it without such powers as are essential to enable the Committee to go to the very root of the evil. For this purpose, an Indemnity Bill must be passed, and when it is proposed we trust we shall hear none of that canting respect for the principle of our law that protects all men from the necessity of criminating them selves, and which we have recently heard lauded with much constitutional fervour. By all means, let protection be given against the legal penalties of confessed delinquencies; but beyond this protection should not be given. It it be, Mr. Roe buck's motion will terminate as it began, by a short-lived sen sation in the House of Commons and the clubs. Let us avoid this as we would avoid inquiry by another tribunal, one of last resort, to the exercise of whose jurisdictions upon such questions we should look with the most serious apprehensions. The Post sass—" Those modern luminaries in politics and politeness, the Marquis of Normanby and Mr. Hutt, of Gates head, have certainly not been quite so successful in their Par liamentary on-sets respecting the Borough Magistracy as their admirers, no doubt, expected. They have invited an exposure of the misdeeds of their own party, which otherwise need not have been made. Though to help a lame dog over a style is not very glorious work, yet this have some journals essayed with respect to the unlucky failure of Messrs. Normanby and Hutt. They seek to add to the logic and eloquence of these great senators such arguments as further thought has suggested, and such as may, perhaps, be considered to soothe the disap pointment of those who expected some victory—alas ! how vain the expectation !—from the united exploit of the Noble Lord and Ilunourable commoner.,, The following remarks are from the Times:—" There have been few matters of greater importance since the present session of Parliament opened, none of greater interest and curiosity, than the Member for Bath's motion, respecting com promises in Parliamentary elections, bribery, venality, and the host of mischiefs attendiag the present state of the represen.. tation. Those who delight in a high-flavoured meal may of the Roebuck and of the hHart.'feed finall uhPn business,u however, was settled last n w e trnst, but f or th e presen t, by w h a t we may call a general Tycorrption as acquiescence, for general ac commodation, that the business of inquiry had better be confined to narrower bounds. Alas ! and is the grand Parliamentary .Reform come to this ? Yes ; and we will tell the nation, what perhaps it very well knows already, that corruption has extended up to the very bounds to which the Parliamentary franchise has been extended : and to whatever limits you stretch the franchise farther, sedet atra cure behind it, an equal stretch or extension of corruption will follow. We cannot alter human nature. U n d er th e o ld s y s tem, corruption was comparatively snug, quiet, and tranquil. Men of genius, virtue, and talent got into Parliament by it. How many of such have started to light, to distinc , ion, arid eminence under the present system ? We fear to answer the question. Lower the franchise, and you will of course get more ut a coarser article." nicrivEr-TEADm-c 0 WINCEIRC M.

A melat.choly accident had occurred on the Versailles Railway. Forty-two persons were killed, and a con siderable number wounded. LONDON and CROYDON RAILWAY. A special general meeting of the Shareholders in this Railway, was held yesterday at the London Tavern, Bishops gate-street, for the purpose of receiving from the Solicitor to the Company a draft of a Bill about to be introduced to Par liament, for the purpose of extending the railway to the West end of London. From the prospectus submitted to the meeting, it appeared that the object of this measure (promoted by the South Eastern and Croydon Railway Companies), is to afford better accommo. dation for the merchandise, cattle, &c., conveyed along the Croy , don, Dover, and Brighton Railways, from the counties of Surrey, Kent, and Sussex, and also to provide for the convenience of the pubic residing at the western parts of the metropolis, tra velling on these Railways, especially those who have with them their own carriages and horses. Already serious complaints are made by passengers on the Brighton Railway, coming from the West-end of London, of the inconvenience and loss of time to which they are subjected by having to proceed to and from the present station, through the crowded streets of the City and Borough ; and it is scarcely necessary to add that such station neither is, nor can be, adapted to the accommo dation of the whole of the extensive traffic in cattle, hops, and general merchandise, from the counties of Sussex and Kent. The present application to Parliament is, therefore, made to provide for these important objects. It is intended to form a roadway or approach, from the Grange-road (near the Green Man turnpike, in the Old Kent-road), to the Croydon Railway. near Corbetts-lane. The length of the proposed road is about one mile ; it proceeds through an open district, interfering with but one or two buildings, and those of a very inferior description. The line has been carefully surveyed under the direction of Mr. Cubitt, the engineer of the South Eastern Railway Company, The Solicitor to the Company having read the Bill to the meeting, the following resolution was proposed and passed : " That this meeting approves of the object of this Bill, and of the same passing into a law, subject to such alterations as to Parliament may seem meet." The meeting then separated. STRAWBERRY HILL.

Sir William, who was a gentleman dealer in articles of vertu, sold them, with a fine cameo of Augustus, and a fragment of an intaglio of Hercules, to the Duchess of Portland, for '2,000/. On her death, the greater or more bulky part of her collections were sold in May and June, 1786, when the Duke of Portland bought in the Barberini Vase for 1,0291. and Walpole purchased the head of Jupiter Serapis for 173/. 55., and, as he observes, "It was a mere head ; Mrs. Dancer in 1789, added the bust in bronze."

INDIA. --- The following is a correct copy of a letter received from Captain John Hoppe, brother of the undersigned, 16th Ben gal Native Infantry, and adjutant of Shah Soojah's 2d Regiment Infantry. J. H. led the storming party, and was wounded at Khcht i-Ghilzie. It will be read with interest by all who have friends at Canuahar (co.) " Candahar, February 14, 1842. "My dear Father,--We are, thank God, all safe at this place, although in daily expectation of the people in the town rising against u , and the enemy, only twenty-five miles cif, are threatening to attack us. Our communication with Caubul and the provinces is cut off, and report says that Sir W. 111'Naghten, the Envoy and Minister, is murdered, with several other officers. It is to be hoped in the spring troops will be pushed up from India—for we can do nothing at this season—when, please God, we will give them a lessen they little think of. General Nott, with a large force, went against the rebels, collected only eight miles from Can dahar, and killed and wounded 700 or 800 of them, but they are increasing in numbers every day, and one of Shah Soojah s sons (Safter Jung) at their head. It is said they dined in their shrouds the other day, and swore upon the Koran that they would either murder us all, or be killed in the attempt. You may rely upon my writing whenever an opportunity occurs, and should you see any of :planning's people or Hol royd's, you can tell them that at present we are all safe and well at Candahar. I have not heard from England for the last three months.—With my brat love to all, believe me, my dear father to be, &c., "JOHN HOPPE." " To Charles Hoppe, Esq., Withycombe Hanleigh, Exmouth, Devon." ANOTHER FATAL BOAT ACCI DENT ON THE MERSEY. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY EVENING.—An accident attended with fatal consequences happened on the Mersey this after noon, about two o'clock. it will he recollected that a fatal ac cident occurred on this river a week ago, by the swamping of a pleasure-boat, by which three young gentlemen were unfor ttn• lv drowned; and although a handsome reward h a d b een offered i ae. for the recovery cf their bodies, they have root yet been found. A Runcorn flat running up the river at about half -past one to-day, saw a corpse floating in the water, Beirq; under sail, she could not make a successful attempt t o recover it, but hailed a boat off the George's Pier, and having told them the circumstance, they immediately went in pursuit ; another boat also went off for the same purpose. In the contest which occurred who shoeld reach the part of the river where the corpse was supposed to have floated, it is feared the boats in question hoisted more sail than was prudent in the squally state of the weather, and in the short sea that occurs in our river, when the wind meets the tide. They were about the middle of the river, when the boat caps i zed, and four hands were instantly immersed in the water. The Egremoat steamer fortunately witnessed the accident, and steering for the scene, picked up William Woods, a married man ; another, William .llartin, was very fortunately carried by the current athwart the chain cable of a brig, lying out at anchor in the stream, and held on until he was assisted on hoard; but the two other men, named James Taylor, a single man, and Owen Griffiths, a married man with a family, were unfortunately drowned; and in the confusion caused by the accident, the corpse which had been the cause of the pursuit, was not found. The hexagon wood paving in the Old Bailey, about which so many complaints have been made, is to be forthwith removed, by order of the Committee of sewers for the City of London, and the metropolitan wood paving sub• stituteth TREMENDOUS FIRE AT HAMBURG. By the arrival of the General Steam Navigation Con:- patty's boat Caledonia, off the Tower, last evening at five o'clock, Captain H. Cheeseman, news has been brought of an immense conflagration which took place on Thurs day morning last, at one o'clock, in that city. The district in which the fire broke out consists entirely Of wood tenements, chiefly of five and six stories high, and covering an area of ground of about thirty to forty • acres. The whole of the buildings on this large space have been totally consumed, to the number of (to our in formant's best supposition) more than 1,000. Tice tire ori ginated in the street known by the name of the Stein Twite, in the warehouse of a Jew, named Cohen, a cigar inanufae , turer, and who, upon good grounds, has been taken up on suspicion as the incendiary. The wind at the time blew a stout north-west, which caused the flames rapidly to spread ; and proceeding in the direction of Itodings market, and from thence to Deich-street, entirely con sumed the whole of the following streets, among which is the Hoppen-market and St. Nicholas Church, a fine stone fabric, and the hand . somest in • Hamburgh Gratz Twite, Cressnon (back and end), Grosser Burstah, Muhlen Brucke, Alto Borse, Bohnen Strasse, Mankedani T ite, Altewall Strasse, Grosse and Kleine, Johannes Strasse, Neue wall, (partially), Alter and Neuer Jung• f,,rstieg Berg, Neue Berg Strasse, St. Petrie Kirke, Kunigs Strasse, Geerhoff a Grasskeiler (partially), Ratlihaus, Borsenhalle, Zuchthaus, Spinnhaus, and De tenwinshaus, Schmidt Wassenkunst, (Niue Bose), Zilch hauss Strasse, Kunst, Paulstrasse. liolzdain, haus, Sperort, and Steinstrases. Tho flames were nut subdued till tea o'clock in the morning of May 7. - A body of one thousand Prussians were immediately marched into the town, and waggons and ammunition from the King of Hanover were brought do% n the Elbe to blow up the houses and to stop the conflagration. The principal h ouses an d h ote l s , among which were the Exchange, Strait's Hotel, St. Peter's Church, the Post-office, the Bank, Spinnhauss's Hotel, and several others, with their costly property, have not a wreck left. The whole presents a mass of ruins, fallen into the dykes which intersected the streets. Upwards of 100 lives have fallen a prey. Owing to the inadequacy of the engines, little could be effected, and the strenuous efforts of the people themselves were of no avail. At the time of its occurrence no water was procurable, owing to the tide being low, so that the street-canals were dry. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, TUESDAY EVENING. Some sales which were effected during the day caused a decline in the prices of the British Stocks; Consols leaving off at 921 92% for Money, and 921 921 for the Account; India Stock, 167, 168; Bank Stock, 248 249; and Exchequer Bills, 38 40 premium. In Foreign Securities business was principally confined to Dutch Bonds, the prises of which were, for the Two-and-a-Hall per Cents., 53 53*; the Five per Cents., 101 1011 ; Belgian, 102 103 ex-dividend; Danish, 801 811 ; and Brazilian, 64 681. Railway Shares generally were better, The last prices were, London and Birmingham, 90 92 ; Great Western, `2B 29, and the Half Shares, 144 14-i prem. ; Birmingham and Gloucester, 52 54; South Western, 63 64; Gosport, 63 64 ; North Midland, 65 67, the new Shares, 32 33 ; Eastern Counties, 91 9%; Blackwell, 11/ 12 ; the New Shares, 91 10; and Brighton, 36/ 371 per share. The quotation of Mexican advanced upwards of one per cent. upon the receipt of the intelligence by the Clyde. The invasion of Texas has proved to be, what it was from the first expected it would, in reality nothing—the hostile demon strations having been confined to some marauding expeditions over the frontier, without the Government in the slightest degree interfering. The Exchanges generally were rather higher than on the former post day. Paris was a solitary exception, being 25f. 50c., 25f. 821 c.; Amsterdam, 12 4*, 12 41; Rotterdam, 12 41 12 4i ; Antwerp, 12 ; Frankfort, 1511 151; Vienna, 9 52, 9 53 ; Lisbon, 53i ; and Madrid, 361. On Elamburgh scarcely a bill was negotiated, the intelli• gence of the disastrous fire there, arriving immediately before 'Change. It will be impossible, for some time to come, to ar rive at anything like a correct estimate of the damage caused by this calamity, but this much is certain, that the amount far exceeds what the shareholders in the various insurance offices will be able to pay; and merchants here are perfectly willing "to get off with a mere scratch." The confusion appears to have been so great, that scarcely a letter is in London which can afford information as to the probable extent of the ca lamity ; and many who for years have never been without a mass of correspondence by each packet, are now, for the first time, without a single communication. (From The Sun of Last Night.) The English Funds have been slightly checked in their up ward tendency by a sale of 30,000/. Reduced, and some few others to a small amount for Money.

The only Tondo of the insolvent States which find a place in the official lists to-day, are Spanish Five per Cents., which are marked 231, and the Nevv . Three per Cent. Stock at 221. Money continues plentiful on the Stock Exchange, at 2/ to 3 per cent., according to the time for which it may be re quired, and the securii y. The West Ind,a letters by the Clyde present rather a more encouraging accoant from Jamaica, and the other islands, than those previously received. The weather had been most propitious, and the crops generally promised to be abundant. The labourers had returned to their employments, were peace able, and apparently well satisfied, to conform with the new arrangements. Ihe departure of Sir Charles Metcalfe was greatly regretted, and it had been proposed to erect a statue as a testimony of the esteem in which he is held. The accounts from Demerara are still unsatisfactory, the negroes on many of the estates were yet standing out, and although the managers had offered to comply with their demands, they would not work, preferring idleness to employ ment; it is evident that some bad management has existed, this being the only colony in a similar state. Trade also was much depressed, and great stress is laid upon the fact of a parcel of coals having been reshipped to England. This would cer tainly prove that commercial distress was great, but still it may arise from some particular circumstances which obliged this course to be adopted. Trinidad, on the contrary, appears to be in a flourishing con dition ; the island, it is stated, is doing well, and will make a large crop. A private letter states, " All the estates in the district will greatly increase their produce this year—a rare event in the West Indies in these times. Our owe crop of sugar, a better one we hope it will prove to be than we have had these three years, is now advancing, though not with rapi dity, owing to the frequent showers, and the canes not being generally ripe." By the packet- ship New York, intelligence from New York to the 20th ult. has been received ; the vessel has made the passage in the short space of eighteen days. The information is of no great importance, neither does it add much to the former accounts. In addition to the details in another column, an extraordinary fact is to be noticed of the Americans ship ping cotton direct to Canton. This cargo had been purchased at from 4to 5 cents. per lb., and sanguine expectations were entertained that a market would thus be opened, rendering them independent of England for the consumption of the lower qualities. If this be continued, it will doubtless interfere ma terially with our East India trade, but no great alarm need be felt for some time at any rate.
