WC Fee with pleasure that %Ir. Hum' is again in the House of Commons. He took his seat last night, and immediately began that career of usefulness which we hope he will long continue. The Liberal party gains no vote by substituting Mr. Hum: for Mr. CHALMERS, for the latter gentleman was a staunch Radical, but it gains au active, diligent, robust, well-informed Member: for one whose health did not allow him to be as useful as he wished. Mr. TIUME also has acquired, by his long and steady advocacy of Liberal principles, the character of a leader in that party, and his advice will be listened to and his example followed. He will do more than merely bring his own vote and speech to bear in the right place ; he will influence the votes and the speeches of a few other Members to support his own. He will serve as a rallying point for a considerable section of the Liberal party, and will give consistency and power to scattered and weak forces. On these grounds, as well as from the conviction we have that Mr. Hum: will now aga in turn his financial acquirements to good account, we are much pleased to see him restored to the House of Commons, looking as strong and healthy as we ever knew him. On Thursday week Lord STANLEY made a remark able statement in the House of Commons relative to emigration, which we noticed in our leader of the fol lowing day. The substance of that was, that all our colonies nearly were overdone with labour, acd that henceforth, unless capital emigrated as well as labour, there was little chance of labourers finding immediate employment. Canada the Noble Lord made an excep tion to the general description; but the best he could say of Canada was, that he thought it likely to become a scene of profitable employment to the emigrant. At the same time he admitted that "in many instances the emigrants had suffered severely." Such being the con dition of our colonies, we learn with much regret that emigration has begun this year with increased activity. The tide of Emigration, (says the Limerick Reporter) from the Irish ports has never been remembered to flow so strongly, so rapidly, and so continuously as during the present season. The persons quitting their " own loved land of sorrow" are generally of the better class of farmers—or the more able. bodied and active labourers—the bone and sinew of a State, and who uniformly bring sufficient means to enable them to set up inde- Wpendently in the country of their adopti on . A l e tt er f rom Waterford, received this morning, assures us that the quantity of emigrants which has lett that port within the last few weeks is almost incredible—it is computed that two thousand have already quitted their native shores in vessels from the Suir, and that one thousand more at least will leave before the season closes ! From Wexford, we perceive by the Independent, that several hundreds have left the port of New Rosa—and from Limerick, we need only observe that emigration has never been known to equal what it is at this moment, and what it has been for the past fortnight. The number entered at the Custom house to this day is about eleven hundred, and more are imme diately to follow. In our last publication (says the Glasgow Saturday Post) we drew the attention of our readers to the extent of emigra. tion going on amongst the most miserable part of our popula tion. Since then, the large ship Renfrewshire, of t:4l tons burden, has sailed from Port Glasgow for Quebec, with 540 passengers, belonging to the Glasgow and Paisley Emigration Societies. It is painful to reflect what is to become of these per sons, thus drafted off to countries where their services are not wanted—where the land is, in fact, already as completely appropriated by the Government as the land is appropriated by individuals at home, and where they can no more squat down on an untenanted common and supply their own wants by their own industry, without paying a rent for the use of land, which they have no means to pay, or without buying it, than they can squat down in the park at Drayton Manor. If they were departing to some country which no Government had seized, carrying with them provisions for a few weeks, and having a knowledge of agriculture, we might spare our pity. They could help themselves. But they go from amidst one aristocracy-ruined people into the midst of another people and another land, where the very same aristocracy, and the very same laws and regulations, will consign them to only a continuance of the suffering they have been exposed to here. We feel for them, therefore, the sincerest pity, and look forward to hear bitter tales of their calamities. In the present state of our colonies we much question the humanity and the justice of any classes in Glasgow and Paisley relieving themselves, by sending as ay mul titudes of persons on the uncertain chance of their ob taining employment and subsistence in the colonies. if they send them to the United States, they can guarantee them nothing. The people from Ireland appear to go of their own accord, carrying with them their household gods; and we can only in their ease blame the Govern ment, which, undertaking the superhuman task of beat, ing all the people who acknowl e d ge its sway, has not in formed them that most of the colonies are overstocked with lit!.;our. Such is .ts as these disprove a', once the notion that a want of land is the cause of a want of employment for the people. •Our community is not distressed because our nurnber'6_ are too great, for in all the colonies land abounds, and needs nothing but human tenants. Such facts overturn the theory, th at nature has not provided sufficient space for man, under which all modern Governments have sheltered their own errors. We are not surprised to End, therefore, that such facts are contributing to carry conviction home to the gr? . 4 multitude, that it is class legislation, that it is Uiisgovernment, that it is the ignorant, even when well meaning, mailing of 'selfish legislators which inflict poverty and misery on the people of new countries, as Since the Ipswich Election Committee has followed the example of the Sudbury Election Committee, and re commended that the issue of the writ for that notoriously corrupt borough be suspended, we begin to form a more favourable opinion of Election Committees. It will now remain, however, for the House of Commons to do its duty, and brand itself, elected as it has been by some what similar means, by disfranchising the two guilty boroughs. If it be said that the House of Lords will not pass Bills disfranchising the boroughs, let the Bills be sent up to them, and let the responsibility of refusing to pass them fall on the Lords. It is the business of the House of Commons to act honestly, boldly, and justly, without regard to what the House of Lords may do. We call on the Commons, therefore, to disfranchise the two boroughs, and to disfranchise every borough and every place in which bribery is practised.. Let that House punish those who sell the rights of their brethren as well as their own, and perhaps the unenfranchised may learn to bear their undeserved privations with greater patience when they see thOse deprived of the elective trust who are totally unworthy to possess it. When Members of Parliament bring forward motions on subjects with which they are practically little ac quainted, common sense would dictate that at all events they should obtain instruction from others, or from Re ports of Committees, in order to meet the objections of Members, who from interest or conviction are opposed to them. Without some preparation of this kind, they not only make a very awkward exhibition, but injure the cause in which they are engaged. This result was very manifest on Friday last, when Mr. HA RDY proposed a clause in the Railways Bill, for making it imperative on the Directors to place two or more luggage trucks between the tender and the passengers' train. The motion was met by a direct negative on the part of Mr. C. RUSSELL, who took advantage of the experience he had acquired as Chairman of the Great Western Railway, and read the Member for Bradford a severe lecture for interfering with matters of which he had no practical knowledge. He then endeavoured to show, or, more properly speak ing, he asserted, that the motion was absurd, for if carried into effect an additional weight of thirty tons would be made to the light trains, thus increasing it by one-half, and thereby rendering another engine necessary. This train of deductions staggered Mr. HARDY, who merely intimated that he had got a terrible fright on the Brigh ton line, and his only object was to provide for the safety of human life. Now the Member for Reading must be aware that the greater part of his objections had no real foundation, that it is no uncommon practice to place a luggage-waggon, or eves two, immediately behind the tender, and if the servants of the Company gave their evidence correctly on the investigation into the fatal accident near Reading, it had been adopted, fur a time at least, on the line with which he is connected. Where there is a will, there is a way ; and were the managers inclined, they would soon make arrangements by which a goods' track could be placed first and last in every train. Men of practical knowledge have admitted that this is one of the best securities against fatal acciden ts. The evidence of Cap t LAWES, given before the Railway Committee last May, is very decisive on this point, and it carries the more weight, because this gentleman had been manager of the Manchester and Leeds Railway from its very commence ment. The following are the questions and answers : Have you not sometimes goods carried with passengers ? —'To a certain extent we have with nearly all the pas sengers' trains. Under those circumstances they travel as fast as the passengers ?—Yes, but it is not a great weight, and it is between two buffers. Where do you generally put those goods upon those pas sengers' trains 2—Before and behind. Upon prin ciple ?—Yes. As matter of protection ?—Yes. Do you confine those goods' carriages, that you send to a particular class of goods ?—No ; that depends on accident. But you would always be glad to mix in a passenger-train a certain number of goods' carriages ? Yes, if the train was not too heavy ; if we had spare power, we should appropriate it by putting the goods on . Is it in consequence of your orders that those goods' trucks are mixed with passenger carriages in the way you have described ?—Yes ; I have always considered it as giving safety to passenger trains. Do you feel the object of safety so much involved in it as to displace trucks and luggage-waggons, in case of the addition of other pas senger carriages for the purpose of putting them still in the rear ?—Yes, we de that. You look upon them as a kind of buffer 7—Yes. In The Sea of yesterday we inserted some inter esting particulars respecting one of the numerous publlc dinners given to 111 r. CHARLES DICKENS, by his ad mirers in the United States. According to all the ac - counts we have received, nothing could surpass the en thusiasm with which this gentleman has every where been welcomed in the New World ; and, indeed, the speeches made at the Hartford dinner, sufficiently prove how deep is the sentiment of esteem and admiration he has excited. We congratulate him on his success, tier he has richly deserved it by Ms writings, which breathe the loftiest and purest spirit of humanity, and exhibit in every page qualities of the heart not less estimable than those of the head. The wine-growers of Portugal are exceedingly impa- ient for the negotiation of a commercial treaty with Great Britain. They have a large stock of wines on hand, for which the world offers them no market, and which they must either find purchasers for, or be ruined. Letters from Lisbon, of the 18th instant, state that negotiations about a c ommerc i a l t reaty were carried on between Lord How Ann DE WALDEN and the Duke of PALMELLA, and but fur the slanderous misrepresentations of the Republi can Journals of the capital, there is little doubt that such a treaty would have been long since established, to the mutual benefit of the two countries. No countries in Europe would benefit half so much by commercial in tercourse with England as Portugal and Spain. The staples of both countries—wines, fruit, wool, and mineral products—are in constant demand in Eng land and her colonies ; whereas, our manufac tures are essential to the comfort of the popula tion of Spain and Portugal. Let only such freedom be given to trade as will allow it, by its own action, to place itself on a proper basis, and there will be no clash ing of international interests. The Spaniards and Por tuguese have a right to look forward to the time when our Corn-laws must be altogether abolished. Now, in these countries agriculture is in its infancy. By adopting the English and Scotch systems of farming, they can easily raise double the quantity of grain required for their own consumption, and for this England will in time offer them a profitable market. The Press of Portugal is profoundly ignorant upon these questions, being wholly guided by the opi nions of the Paris Republican prints. As these Journals are daily affirming that France would be ruined by a commercial treaty with England, the cuckoo note is caught up and re-echoed by the news papers of Oporto and Lisbon. They forget, or rather they know nothing of the fact, that France does not desire to enrich them at the expense of her own wine and brandy growers. France has wines and brandies to sell; so far she has an interest in opening her ports to England ; but she has also manufactories of silk, cotton, hardware, hosiery, gloves, &c., and to their supposed interests her Journals are constantly in favour of sacrificing the profits of free commercial in . tercourse with Great Britain. This is the key to their clamours against a commercial treaty with England, and as the Portuguese Journals are without it, they blunder on in the same strain, to the ruin of the wine and fruit growers in the Peninsula. It is only by extending their commerce, by the re moval of every impediment upon trade, that Spain and Portugal can arrive at any great degree of political pros- PeritY• With trade will come wealth, and knowledge, 1314 toltration, and with these will come power and ex- well as on the inhabitants of old countries. Thus, Mr. LOVETT, in a manly and excellent speech which he de ' livered at the Suffrage Conference of Birmingham, spoke the sentiments of thousands of his fellow workmen : Our country, possessing great natural, industrial, and scientific means of prosperity, and producing wealth beyond any other nation on the earth,. has, notwithstanding, a pauperised and over-burthened population. Minions. of our industrious inhabitants are reduced to a state of physical mi sery , worse even than is found in the wigwam of savage life. Numbers are toiling like slaves, yet pining while they toil ; and those who can fly the land of their fathers, bless the means which rescue them from a life of wretchedness.—(Hear, hear.) Vast numbers of our manufacturers, merchants, and wealth-distributors, have sunk t o r i se no more, crus hi ng thousands in their fall; and the great majority, it is feared, are fast verging on bankruptcy and ruin. Our trade, sinking and emb arrasse d , i s f ast see ki ng countr i es more congenial to its development and exercise, and, despite Sir Robert's measure, will get worse and worse so long as mo nopoly shall retain it s gr i pe, or monstrous taxat i on prevent us from fairly competing with the countries of the world. ( Cheers.) Our political institutions, however lauded by aris.. tocratical writers, so far from promoting the life-giving blessing of freedom, have generated the vilest despotism in every depart ment of the State; for the confining of the franchise to a com paratively few has thrown the whole political power of the count' y into the hands of a profligate and liberty-hating aris tocracy —persons who, from the earliest records, have been war ring against freedom abroad, or liberty at home, and by whose acts and efforts our country has been reduced to its present beggared condition.—(Loud cheers. ) Emigration will not get rid of the mass of discontent which is here pourtrayed, but it will spread discontent with suffering through the colonies. Emigration, too, will not relieve the farmers at home, because that does not arise from too many people. Emigration will how ever remove some of the tax-paying means of the com munity, and leave a lesser power to bear that accumulat ing burden, which the policy of Sir ROBERT PEEL i 3 heaping on the country. , LONDON, TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 26, 1842 SU tended political influence. No nations in the world are better fitted for becoming wealthy by means of com merce than Portugal and Spain. They have vast in ternal resources yet undeveloped; and under wise, pacific Governments, nothing is wanted but to direct into natural channels the industry of the people. Letters and the arts ever follow in the wake of national wealth. From Madrid the Journals are of the 17th inst. The only political news they bring is the arrival in the capital of the Infante Don FRANCISCO DE PAULO and his family. The Prince was kindly received by th e REGENT. The Railway - question is now the all-engrossing topic in the Paris Journals. The minority of the Committee upon Railways despair of France being able to carry on such works, contemporaneously with the walls of Paris, without a new loan. This would impose fresh taxes, and taxation is just now a sore subject in France. Twenty millions of francs are also wanted to make a harbour at Algiers, and the question suggests itself to the Fi nance Minister, " Where is the money to come from ?" When the absurd scheme of burying the wealth of France in the ditches of Paris was first broached, we predicted that a period would arrive when it would be found materially to interfere with the construction of those mighty works for the rapid diffusion of civilization throughout the world. Have we been mistaken ? What but the walls of Paris now hinder France from carrying out her vast designs for the construction of railways? Her grand schemes of human civilization and improvement are entirely frustrated, in consequence of the immense sums squandered by her in reviving one of the national bugbears of the twelfth century—a stone fortified capital:— We take the following particulars relative to the late M. Aguado from the Constatutionnel and the Memorial of Bordeaux :—M. Aguado, on arriving at Oviedo, where he was regarded by the inhabitants as their great benefactor, was ro ceived with illuminations and balls, and every possible demonstration of the most grateful welcome. On thP 14th instant, he reached Gijon, where he was met by a numerous cavalcade, which escorted him to his hotel, and, after his alighting, he received deputations from the principal corporations of the town, with con. gratulatory addresses. In fact, M. Aguado had changed the lace of the country. His mines and various manufactories had introduced a prosperity which the people duly appreciated. He had expended more than a million of francs in forming new roads. After taking a walk on the Quays of Gijon, M. Aguado returned to dinner, and it was at the moment of his sitting down to table that he was struck with apoplexy. His physician immediately bled him, and he revived for a minute, uttering a few words, but then relapsed. Further bleedings were prac tised, but he expired in the curse of the night. M. Aguado was in his 58th year. He was created by Ferdinand VII. Marquis de los Marismas del Guadalquiver ' Commander of the Order of Charles 111., and Grand Cro ss o f the Order of Isabella the Catholic, with the honours of Intendant-General of the Spanish Marine, in reward for his services as court banker. He was also invested with the Order of the Saviour, in Greece, in acknowledgment of his services in negotiating the loan to King Otho, under the guarantee of the three Powers. He has left a widow and three sons. The eldest of these children, aged 21+, is married to a daughter of Mr. Macdonald, an English gentle man, who was a Consul-General, upon which he gave up his commission in a cavalry regiment, and entered diplomacy ; be came attached to the Embassy at Vienna, and is at present , a member of the Legation at Florence. The two younger sons of the late Marquis, one seventeen and the other fourteen year s old, are pursuing their studies at the College Bourbon. M. Aguado was a native of Spain, but became a naturalised Frenchman and a Colonel in the army, in which capacity he returned after the Spanish war in 1804. Madame Aguado is a Spanish lady. A part of the Marquis's suite, with his equip ages, arrived at Bordeaux on Tuesday. The fortune left by 111. Aguado is estimated at various amounts ; some journals state 40 millions, others 66. The i%foniteur, of the 23d, has the following note:— " The Marquis de Brignole Sole, Ambassador of the King of Sardinia, had a private audience yesterday of his Majesty, at which he delivered letters from his Sovereign, announcing the marriage of the Duke de Savoy with the Archduchess Mary Adelaide Francisca, daughter of the Archduke Regnier, of Austria." " It appears decided," says the Commerce ' " that the Duke de Nemours is not to make the campaign in Africa during the present year. The accouchement of the Duchess is assigned as the reason of this change of determination. The spring will, it is said, be too far advanced at the probable period of her convalescence to make it worth his while to set out. The intended appearance of the Prince in Africa is connected with the favourite plan of Viceroyalty, which would have given an opportunity to return, by an indirect way, to the appanage. 'I hese matters may be kept in petto from the next Chamber, but good care must be taken not to let anything on the sub ject come to the knowledge of the electors."— Commerce.

Very extensive improvements are now proceeding at Windsor Castle, under the direction of Mr. Blore, the architect; 200 workmen, at least, are employee! at the present moment. Yesterday was the festival of St. Mark. His parents were' of the tribe of Levi : his original name was Mordecai, changed to Marcus, or Mark. After finishing that portion of Scripture known to us by his name, he travelled into Egypt, and while preaching in a church there, was brought out by the Egyptians, his feet tied together, and -then dragged through the streets till dead. Yesterday was the anniversary of the birthday of Oliver Cromwell. We learn from the Edinburgh papers that the Mar quis of Bute has been appointed Commissioner to the General Assembly. He is said to support Sir Robert Inglis in the scheme for Church extension, but is opposed to the Non-Intrusion scheme. It matters little, however, what are the politics or religious doctrines of the Lord High Commissioner, for he has only to read a speech at the opening of the Assembly made for him, and listen with imperturbable patience to the long speeches made by members of Assembly, and we believe the Noble Mar quis will display as mich serenity on those occasions as any one of his predecessors CURIOSITY.—Some English people were visiting an elegant private garden at Palermo, in Sicily, and among the little ornamental buildings, they came to one upon which was written, "N on aper i te, " t h at i s , " D on 't open.

The firmness with which the market for the funds closed on Saturday has been maintained to-day, and prices of Consols are again a quarter per cent. higher, being 92 92a for money, and 94 92i for the ac coun t. Bank Stock 166 167 ; lddia Stock 245 246 ; Exchequer Bills 38 40 prem. The effect of the late numerous and extensive purchases for investment is being shown in the scarcity at present existing for all kinds of stock, which is really difficult to be obtained; and the strange contradiction appears of the almost utter im possibility of exchanging the present superabundance of money for funded security. However this may tend to prove the deplorable stagnant state to which trade generally is reduced, it is satisfactory to perceive, that it is our own stocks, and Rail ways which have absorbed this superfluity of capital, to the exclusion of Foreign Loans or speculations in Foreign Bonds. Monetary men aro looking with some anxiety for the measures which will be adopted by Congress to relieve the Treasury of the United States from its financial embarrassments, and great feat s are entertained lest any portion of the loan should be con tracted for here, or that experience should not prove sufficiently strong to deter our capitalists from advancing the money for it. It will, doubtless, be put forth under the strongest feelings and intentions of keeping faith with the lenders, but America, as at present constituted, can offer no security which the next gene ration, or the next Congress may not, if it think proper, abro- gate. Under such a state of affairs too much caution cannot be exercised, previously to advancing money to the States, either collectively or individually. Indiana, Illinois, and Mississippi are illustrations of this position ; the respectable part of the community being anxious to redeem the State credit, while a small majority carry on the repudiating system. With the exception of Dutch, which are better, the foreign securities remain as on Saturday, and the prices were, Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 5'44 53; the Five per Cents., 1001 101 ; Belgian, 1031 l 041; Danish, 801 811 A, ; and Brazilian, 67 68.

(Front The Sun of Last Night.) It is satisfactory to find by the letters from the manufactur ing districts, received this morning, t hat the abundance of un emploNed capital, has to a smal degree, benefited this descrip tion of property. In the cotton trade, both the demand and prices have improved, but still scarcely sufficient to cause any very great difference generally. The extremely stag nant state in which this branch of industry has been sfor a long time, forbids the hope of any mate rial change for the present. The speculation which has been going on in cotton will, it is to be feared, militate against any immediate change for the better; and it must be added that the intelligence from America and India appear to lead to the conclusion that this speculation has not been founded on a sure basis.

Nearly the whole of the space usually devoted by our Paris Contemporaries to original articles is taken up with remarks on the Report of the Railroad Committee. We have already ob served that the view taken of this Report is not sufficiently general to render it of interest, except to the parties immedi ately affected by the proposed lines. When the discussion shall come on in the Chamber of Deputies, there will probably be the same conflict as to what lines the Government should undertake, for the Deputies, whatever may be their spirit of independence, cannot divest themselves entirely of local influ ence ; but the discussion will be of interest, as it will elicit the opinions of financiers and political economists on the extent to which the resources of France will permit expenditure for great public works. The following from Paris, 17th inst., is published by the Cologne Gaulle. We give it as a specimen of the absurdity which frequently finds a plane in the German journals, under the head of Paris correspondence :,--" There arrived here, a few days ago, an English agent, who is charged, it is said, by the British Cabinet to watch the electoral intrigues, and ascer tain the intentions of the different parties in the struggle for which they are preparing. This agent is to go through the French departments, and to transmit to his Government all the information that he can obtain." The Minister of Finance has given explanations to the com mittee on the Budget, relative to the simultaneous existence of railroads and Post-office mails. He informed it, that this question had already been the object of deliberations in the Council, and that there was but one opinion on the subject, viz., that the Post-office department was to be preserved and protected against anything that might threaten its existence. The Minister added, that a Committee would be appointed on the subject in a short time. The King and Royal family leave the Tuileries this day, to pass a part of the summer at Neuilly. The King and Queen of the Belgians, and the Prince of Wirtemberg, will also be of the party, and will remain at Neuilly until after the accouche ment of the Duahesse de Nemours. The will made by M. Aguado previously to his departure for Spain having been opened on Friday, it appeared that the executors named were his friend General San Martin, his steward (M. Convert), and his architect. Madame Aguado was appointed guardian to her children, with a jointure of 72,000 f. per annum, and the residue of the property is to be equally divided between his three sons. The Infant Don Francisco de Paulo and his family arrived in Madrid in the eventng of the 15th. The Captain-General, the Political Chief, and the members of the Ayuntamiento had gone to meet. the Prince on the confines of the province. The next day the Infant waited on the Regent, who received him in presence of the Minister for Foreign Affairs. The Leo del Coniercio states, that demonstrations of the most perfect cor diality had been manifested by those two personages. The In fant and his wife afterwards repaired to the palace, and had a long interview with their nieces, at which the Guardian and the President of the . Council were present. The Madrid Gazette publishes the law voted by the Cortes, lroviding that an indemnity be granted by th e na ti on t o a ll oyal Spaniards for the damages their property might have sus tained during the late civil war. PARLIAMENTARY. The Duke of Wellington, having ascertained since Friday that the Spirit Duties (Ireland) Bill will not promote smug gling, and having found out that it would he convenient to omit the drawback clauses of that Bill, moved that it be read a third time. Lords Monteagle, Clanricarde, and Cloncurry, regretted the passing of the Bill, which would do great injury to Ireland for a very trifling revenue. The Bill, however, omitting the drawback clauses, was read a third time and passed. Their Lordships, after receiving a few petitions, adjourned. In the Commons Mr. Hume took his seat, amidst much cheering. Mr. Pakington presented the Report of the Ipswich Election Committee ; and, on his motion, the writ for that borough wa s ordered not to issue for three weeks. Mr. Redington, Chairman of the Southampton Election Committee, reported that the Committee had given John Renn into custody for not answering questions. John Renn was brought to the bar, and, in excuse, said he was afraid his answers might criminate himself. A considerable discussion ensued as to what was to be done to the contumacious Renn, but he was finally sant back to the Committee, with an admo nition that the Committee was a legal tribunal, the questions of which he must answer. On the motion that the House resolve itself into a Com mittee on the Income-tax Bill, Mr. Wallace made a speech against the Bill, but withdrew the motion to substitute an issue of Exchequer bills for the day, of which he had given notice. Mr. Hume also made a speech, pointing out means by which the public money might be saved, and the necessity of an Income-tax probably done away. The Hon. Member admitted that Sir R. Peel had undertaken an arduous task, and compli mented him on the boldness with which he stood up against his own friends. The House went into a Committee, and agreed to Schedules A and B. On Schedule C, Mr. Ricardo moved an amendment to apportion the tax more fairly on terminable an nuities, OR which the Committee divided, and retained the clause unaltered by •.a3 to 117, there being a majority of 136 for fleecing the holders of terminable annuities at a somewhat greater rate than the holders of perpetual annuities. On Schedule D being put, relative to trades and professions, Mr. Roebuck, who has an amendment to move to the Schedule, suggested, as it was past twelve o'clock, that the further consideration of the Bill be postponed. Sir Robert Peel acquiesced in this, after some little bickering, with an understanding that he is to proceed with the Bill this day, though it is not an Order day. The House then resumed, and at Half-past Twelve adjourned. PUBLIC OPINION.

The state of trade continued very much de pressed, and no prospect of improvement was held out, owing to the largely accumulated stock. The custom-house, whole sale warehouses, and even the retail shops are represented as being " crammed" with European goods. The importation of these in 1839 had been 33,660 packages 1 in 1840, 38,241, and in 1841, 47,846 ; while the value of exports bad declined eight per cent.

At Maranham the stock of Raw Cotton was excessive, and a very great scarcity of money prevailed. Intelligence from Buenos Ayres to the 16th of January has also come to hand. The Message of the President to the House of Representatives occupied the chief attention. It is very congratulatory upon the late victories over the Unita rians, and expressed the strong determination to pat down the " impious rebels." Under the head of finance the English debt is thus alluded to :—" The solemn pledge, a • it regards the loan from England, occupies the attention of Government. It is anxious that an opportunity should arrive for a satisfactory arrangement, which, retarded by no torious and insurmountable circumstances, may bear in itself the guarantee for its punctual fulfilment." The real value of these professions may be gathered from the estimated revenue for 1842, which is put down at 42,854,538 dollars, while the expenditure will amount to 56,385,321 dollars, leaving a de ficiency of 13,530,782 do lars, or about 35 per cent, of the income.

RECOVERY OF HER MAJESTY'S CELEBRATED DEER " SULKY."—The celebrated deer " Sulky," which was uncarted at Knapp-hill, in Surrey, on the last day of the season of the royal stag hounds, and lost at Hardlestone, after a short run, was safely secured on Friday last. The hounds left the kennel that morning, and after drawing that part of Surrey for upwards of two hours, the lost deer was found on Mr. Church's farm, at Chobharn. It immediately made towards Chertsey (skirting Ottersham and Botley's park) where it crossed the Thames, and, after a beautiful run of an hour and a half, it was taken at Shepperton, and safely conducted to its old quarters in the paddocks of the Great-park, ..t Windsor. THE IMPROVEMENTS, &C., IN THREADNEEDLE STREET.—The architectural improvements now beiug made in Threadneedle-street are rapidly progressing, and bid fair to be completed in a comparatively s hort s p ace o time. Indepen dently of the widening of the street, which, however, is only partial, the new building in course of erection on the site of the old French Protestant Church is rtipidly drawing towards its final completion. It is likely, we are informed, to be ready for opening about the commencement of the month of June. The architectural ornaments and devices in the interior of the building are exceedingly chaste and elegant. It has already been mentioned that there arc two immense rooms, or rather halls, on the ground floor ; the larger of the two is still blocked up, to a great extent, with the scaffolding and wood-work, but a partial glimpse at the ceiling may, nevertheless be obtained ; the result of which serves to give a tolerable idea of what the tout ensemble will be when the scaffolding is finally removed. The height of this gigantic hall is immense, and the length may be conjectured, when it is stated, that it extends from Thread • needle-street as far back as Cushion-court, Old Broad-street. The second and smaller room is lighted by a handsome sky light at the further extremity, the ornamental designs of which are much to be admired, as are also the rich Corinthian capitals of the pillars. Many persons believe that the new building is intended for a sort of auction -mart, whilst others imagine that it is to be devoted to gerietal purposes. All their conjectures, however, are at present quite premature. At a meeting of the West Middlesex Reform As sociation, recently held at Brentford, the thanks of the Asso ciation were unanimously voted to the electot s of the Montrose District of Burghs for returning Mr. Hume to Parliament; and the Secretary was directed to congratulate Mr. Hume on his return. MEETING or THE NORWICH BOOT AND SHOE MAKERS.— On Wednesday last a numerous body of the above trade met at the White Hart Inn, to take into consideration the financial scheme of Sir Robert Pet 1, as applied to the " amended tariff of the leather-trade." A series of resolutions were passed condemnatory of the Int ome-tax, which in its ope ration acted so di•proportionately t wards propping up the revenue of the country, being principally at the expense of the already depressed body of the manufacturing and commer cial inte eats; that inadequacy of protection was afforded to the trade by the reduced scale of dutir:s in the tariff ; and that the meet ng, while at the same time it repu diated all idea of party feeling, believed that poorer men far ft om being relieved, would be ultimately ruined by the new measures. On the following day (Thursday) petitions were drawn up in pursuance of these resolutions, and printed copies ordered to be forwarded to the Chronicle and Sun papers. Petitions drawn up upon these are to be addressed to the Queen, Lords, and Commons. In a clause of the last the petitioners claim attention to the fact that unless three-fourths of the ori gi-al protection be allowed to remain, the prosperity of the home shoe manubetures must become a dead letter. Lord Altemarle, Benjamin Smith, Esq., and the Marquis of Douro, are to present the petitions. Several hundreds have already signed. Accounts have been received from New Zealand, of a banquet which took place on the shores of Tasman's Gulf, to celebrate the colonisation of that part of the world by Euro peans. he guests consisted of French, English, and natives; and over the President's chair floated the English flag in con junction with the tricolour flag of France. The health of the King of the French was drunk with great enthusiasm, and M. Lacoet, a Fren-h gentleman, replied to the compliment by proposing the toast of " Union hetween France and England."

CITY IMPROVEMENTS.—A step has at last been taken in the formation of the new street which is to connect Farringdon-street with Clerkenwell and Islington. A sub stantial road-way with foot pavement on each side, and about half the width of Farringdon-street, with a circular entrance from Holborn-hi idge, has just been laid down, and completed as far back as West -street. Beyond this street no houses have yet been pulled down, and the work is stationary.

Dr. Johnson's Tavern, Fleet-street. The Toole° extremely full and many ladies were present. • Mr. •UNCAN took the Chair. The minutes of the hat meeting were read and confirmed' ty Several Reports were received of meetings respecting Charter, held in the metropolis, since the last meeting. Mr. LOURIE proposed a reso l ut i on t o th e e ffect that 0 members of the Conv en t ion s h ou ld wr i te to their conditl ejl e for information upon the truck system, and its bearing n the interests of the working classes. Mr. O'CONNOR seeonded the resolution. Few wereawer!,4 the evils inflicted by this syitern on t h e W or ki ng Cl a sses, ' i ; he thought it the duty of the Conve n ti on t o ren d er to the C° mitten all the evidence which lay in their power. The resolution was carried. Mr. PnILP then rose to ,propose the following resolutict e:' " That with a view to the most speedy enactmen t o f the neo.. pie's Charter, this Convention recommend th e peop l e of , Britain totally to abstain from the use of all intoxicating d r ; c k also to abandoa the use of tobacco and snuff an d re f r ain ssu l as possible from the use of all cxciseable articles, thstly I these means the revenue may be affected, the people b e proved by sobriety, and the funds of the Chartist sociation be made more ample ; and the Convention ;7 1 not refrain from expressing its opinion that e kao man enlisting in the army, or the police, Wl - 0, the present corrupt institutions exist, b e c omes a s l av ish ti* J4 . the hands of tyrants, is a disgrace to his country, and en I honour to the name of man." The effect of the temperance in Ireland had been to deprive the Governen_ o the power of enlisting soldiers. Not a man could be foe!, enlist, and he trusted the Convention would unanimouslYr the resolution. Mr. O'CoNrroit said that nothing could give him el; pleasure than to see the practice of temperance universe" 0 he could not agree with Mr. Philp in mixing the sobjert with the agitation fur the Charter. He thoughor would be better to form a Committee to Ono,' the subject. He moved, therefore, as an amend " That we, the Delegates sitting in this Convention, in eff, set an example to the people at large, and to prove our sPr of the principles of temperance, do hereby pledge onrsel abstain from the use of snuff and tobacco, and tins reo°, l° , we adopt, in order that we may set an example persons which we trust the people generally will e s worthy of adoption, and that both the reco r nmendatioe amendment be submitted to a Committee who shall ree f/ the Committee." Mr. ROBERTS, of Bath, seconded the amendment; he was almost afraid that the latter part of the rose°, would subject them to a charge of sedition, seeing tha t cording to the laws of the land an ignorant jury wet% judges of what constituted sedition ; but still be must oWo m he thought that the man who took a glass of grog yvas Si t a man as the man who refrained. After a lung conversation, Mr. WHITE moved that the subject be adjourned until's', the presentation of the petition to Parliament. I Mr. O'CoNNon, having withdrawn his amendusetot motion of Mr. White was carried. Messrs. Philp, Beesley, Bartlett, Stallwood, and Tbo voted for Mr. Philp's resolution.
