Stettin on the tOth of July, which was shipped on the 13th of August, did not arrive at Liverpool till the 13th of Sept. Hull had an advantage over Liverpool in the importation of corn from Dantzic ; but corn could be sent from America to Liverpool in less time than from Dantzic. Now, that justly defines the proposition Of the gentleman who spoke to me-- namely, it was possible to bring flour from the United States in six weeks. The Honourable Gentleman the Member for Edinburgh, whose absence surprises me— ( Hear, hear)—matte an attack on me ; the whole of his speech was an attack on the statements I made in bringing forward this measure. That Right Honourable Gentleman commenced his speech, by stating, that he, represented so peculiar a constituency, that it was incumbent upon him to speak. He assured that House that his constituency was swayed by no personal inte rests—that they were corrupted by no prejudiced views—but, as they were the concentrated es'enee of the intelligence of Edinburgh—( Laughter)—it was incumbent upon him to state his views to the House of Commons. It was unfortunate for the Right Hon. Gentleman, considering the peculiar position in which he was placed, and considering, also, the intelligence of his constituents, and the welght their opinions were calculated to have in that House—it was unfortunate for him, and it was much to be lamented, that when they ap proached the division he should have retired to his repose in stead of being in his place in that house.—( Great laughter.) What aid, I would ask, has the Right lion. Gentleman given us on this question ? He voted with the Noble Lord, but he could not assent. to my plan. Time the llon. Alember for Wolverhampton brought forward a motion for a total repeal of the Corn-laws, and the Right Hon. Gentleman has decamped from the House because he will not vote.—(" Hear, hear," and laughter.) The Right Honourable Gentletnan has not the manliness to say no to the proposition of the Hon. Member for Wolverhampton ; he says, I object to the imme diate repeal of the Corn-laws—the word now is a insuperable objection, but if I give my vote according to my opinion I shall be liable to misconstruction, and, therefore, it is I absent myself from the division.—( Hear, hear, and laughter.) Why did he say that he considered the measure precipitate, and that he was prepared to vote against it? He relieves himself from any possibility of misconstruction, but he leaves others, who come exactly to the same conclusions as himself, to take the more manly part of voting against a proposition they cannot agree to,—( Hear, hear.) The Right Hon. Gentleman stated that I maintained that cheap food was no advantage. I maintained no such thing. What I stated was that I thought it unwise and unjust to sow discontent and dis affection among the people by telling them there were others who hail their provisions at a much less charge. I said I thought the relative amount of the cost of food was not the test of enjoy.nent, but the demand of different countries. I also said, but net abstractedly, that I thought it was ill advised, arid would be productive of evil consequences, to produce cheapness of provisions by a sudden disturbance of the relations between landlord and tenant. I did state that they might produce sudden cheapness in provisions ; hue, they could not remedy the evils under which the country Idboured, by having fresh causes of disturbance, or by bringing distress among the great body of agriculturists. It was with these qualifications I said that I thought you were bound, in introducing cheap food, to regard the interests that had grown up under protection,and to regard the different laws relating to agriculture. I also said that it was not. wise that the substantial supply of this country shwa be derived from other countries. One word, and one word only, with respect to the motion upan which I trust we are now about to divide. It is en absolute declare! inn of the opinion of this House that the Corn-laws ought to be instantly repealed. The Hon. Gentleman has not moved—so deeply impressed was he with the policy of immediate repeal—that he has not moved any protective measure. The resolution he submits to tha House is, that the Corn-'aws ought at ()sea to be rei ealed. The Hon. Gentleman says that he can acquiesce. He says if they can ti! repealed they ought.—( Hear.) The Noble Lord has come forward and distinctly stated that, in his opinion, agriculture has no claim to Protection, that it is for the purpose of mere revenue, to levy duty up in the im port of foreign coin. I nut it to him whether, if you levy duty for that purnose, it wooed not be as legitimate to levy excise duty on corn, the produce of th s country ?—(Cheers.) And instead of the Noble Lord advocating a fixed duty of Bs. on foreign corn, I think it would be well to consider and propose a duty of 45., with a view to its being applied equally on corn the produce of foreign countries, and corn the produce of this ; because corn the produce of this country having no claim to protection. it plainly would carry out the Noble Lord's views, and he will see the advantage of an inland duty in England.— (Laughter.—( Lord Palmerston made some remark across the table. )—ls it possible the Noble Lord can dispute that doe trloe ? It is utterly impossible for him to deny that if it be le gitimate to the mere purposes of revenue to extinguish all protection, and to lay a duty on the importation of foreign corn that he cannot resist the argument that a like duty should be taken on corn the produce of this country. But there are those with the Noble Lord who cannot vote with the lion. Gentleman any more than those who, in consequence of disturbing the relations with respect to Ire land—of those who considet agriculture, and who are alarmed now at any reduction of the duty on oats—all those who dread the con.equence to Ireland of a sudden, unlimited, and immediate importation of foreign oats into this couutry—those who hesitate on this subject, cannot vote with the Honourable Gentleman. Those again who think there ought to be an interval of time between lie present anti a total abrogation of these laws, cannot vote wits the Hon. Gentleman. The lion. Gentleman has even given a vague intimation that he would possibly consent to something, if lie was certain of carrying his motion ; but his motion for you must vote is, that the Corn-laws should be repealed. These who are unwilling to incur that risk, cannot vote with the Honourable Gentleman. It is needless for me to say that, with my views, it is impossible for me to assent to the proposition. Sir, when I look to the proposal which I have made, and when I heard the speech of the lion. Member for Liskeard, who told us that he thought that those who voted against the agricultural in terest ought to be cautious—that he thought we ought not to excite undue apprehension amongst the agriculturalists—that the consequences would be dangerous to the existing interests of the country, by causing a diminution of the cultivation of land—bow the Hon. Gentleman can refuse to vote with me and against the Hon Gentleman, I tan hardly comprehend. Mr. C. HULLER—I shall vote with you. Sir R. PEEL—I believe' the lion. Gentleman wishes for an ultimate repeal, )et he wishes them to act with caution, and not excite apprehensions hi the minds of the agriculturists. I knew teat my propositio s would not have that effect ; and it the Honourable Gentleman had seen the communie glom I have received, I think he would think that I have advanced as far as I possibly could without raising those Apprehensions , . It was therefore on this account that I anticipated his vote to-night in opposition to the Hon. Gentleman. lam sure that if I had gone much further those apprehensions which the Hon. Gentleman fears would have been fulfilled. Sir, when I recollect what Mr. Ricardo's views were—and Mr. Ricardo was no particular friend to the agr:cultural interest—he thought the present system of Corn-laws were difficult, that you ought to pave the way for a better system—but he thought that when you attempt to im prove you must not destroy. The proposal Mr. Ricardo made was, that a fixed duty at 205., should be imposed upon the importa tion of foreign corn, and that a gradual diminution should take place each year by Is., and remain fixed at 10s. as a duty on foreign corn. That was fifteen years ago, and the same argument in dealing with the Core-laws would apply now. at Mr. Ricardo thought that absolute benefit would result from a sudden tamper ing with the Corn-laws, would he not have expressed that ()Own? He proposed, therefore, a fixed duty of 205., to conteme for one year, and gradually diminish till it arrived at 10s. Compare scale 1 have prepared with the proposal by that stated friend So free trade, Mr. Ricardo. Compare my scale with that of Mr. Whitmore in 1828, and then say if I have not proposed a ynaterial relaxation. Sir, let me express an earnest. hope, that ;.1 the decision of this question shall be taken as a decisive mark against the motion of the Hon. Gentleman, coupling that decision with the decision 'which was given against the motion of the Noble Larthisiat favour of ray plan—let me entreat the House tosetuan in mind, that as the commercial and manufacturing si itterests of this country are not to be tampered withsi nothing can pi oduce so much mischief with respect to the Corn- laws, as ignorance of those proposals which LereMajesty's Ministers may have to make. Let me express an earnest hope that in reference to the public weal, you wilt proceed with the utmost expedition as connected with a proper e:eliberation of those important measures, and I believe this bill will be a material and beneficial relaxation of the law of the land. Mr. HASTIE then rose to addrees the House amidst loud cries of i• Divide, divide," Question, question," and great confusion, which rendered the lio n . Gentleman's observations totally inaudible in the Reporter's gallery ; after reading some documents which were supposed to be with reference to the difficulties which arose in China in 1839, the Hon. Member re mint d his place, when the cries of " Divide, divide," and" Ad journ, adjourn." were renewed. Mr. JOHNSTONE rose to address the House, but was un able to obtain a hearing. The resolution of the Honourable Member for Wolver hampton, was then read by Mr. GREENY at the Table, and the question having been put— Lard JOHN RUSSELL rose, and said :—Sir—l know not whether there is any reason why the debate should not be brought to a conclusion on the present occasion,— ( Hear, hear, and cheers from the Opposition benches)—but if she debate ought to conclude to-night, every attention should he given to the suggestions of Hon. Gentlemen, who thought it neconary to address the House.—( Hear, hear ) I rise, Sir, for the purpose of protesting against the doctrine propounded to-night by the Right Hon. Baronet, and of protesting against the inference which will be publicly drawn from the speech of the Right bon. Baronet.—( Year, hear.) The Right Ho neurable liameet tells us that there was a proposition upon * h.ch there should be a division of this House; and when that division was made, the House has nothing to do but to pea% into a law, ae quickly as possible, the Bill which the Right Hon. Baronet meant to bring iii.—(lronical cheers from the Opowsition benches and counter cheers.) Sir, I say that that a question for the consideration of Parliament.—( Loud ,cheers.) The Executive Government were bound to give their best attention to the proposition which they were to twake—it was their duty to consider it maturely.—(Hear)-- anal it is the business of Parliament to approie or pass that motion into a law if Parliament thinks fit.—( Cheers.) What the Executive Government had to propose was merely to con sider what was best to be done; and it is for Parliament to consider whether they will agree to that measure, and in what shape they alit have it passed into law.—(Cheering.) That which Parliament has sow to decide is of the utmost importance t i the inter; sts of the country, but what time did the Executive Governmern: take this measure into considera tion? what time did they taise in considering,that which we are now told the Parliament should hasten to pass into law ? During all uncertainty as to the price of corn, all uncertainty as to foreign commerce, all uncertainty as to whether that measure should or should not relieve or mitigate the distress of the country. The Executive Government took five months to consider what that measure should be. Having taken that time, and havi ng ta k en on themselves at last to bring forward a sliding scale, differing only in detail from the present scale, which they took five months to consider, surely the repre sentatives of the people in this House, the representatives of the agricultural interest, the representatives of the commercial interest. and the representatives of the manufacturing interest, .are bound to give every attention to such a measure, and are not to he told that theyaliould hasten the matter over.— (Loud cheers. ) Think of how great consequence your decision will be. We have heard in the course of this discus siou, that there will be nothing of finality in the decision; that, Sir, I must say, is not the view the agriculturists take of the measure. The Right Hon . Ilaronet has told us of the great a hensions entertained by the landed interest ; they have been dispelled by the Right Hon. Gentleman, and I think they would have been dispelled if a much wider treasure had. been proposed. When you have passed thi s , t h ey w il l say " lhese are the tennis you required us to submit to, these are the changes to which we assented; but having made them, we call on you, the Government . , and the Parliame n t, to abide by it." That will be the langu age of the landed interest. That have Y o t u o being the case, if is more incumbe nt on y ou to cons ider what is the law you are about to pa ss —it is isnorejem,bireresuinwhiTo he incumbent o to give every attention to the Hon : address the House, and to hear their views on the question. There is only one other topic to which I will allude, respecting am Hon. Friend of mine, the Right Hon. Member for Edm biargh. The course of not voting is not the course I mean to ktiotlts myself, I mean to vote against the proposition of the Rota. Member for Wolverhampton, but I think that there . are eases whew a man may feel that it is his duty notjto vote. ti and lau g ht er .) D oes th e Right Hon. Gentle imin thhels that the present Members of the Reformed House would now sit here, had it not b een t h at Cer t a i n Of thz +WM' hers of the other House, who were opposed to the measure, who had thought fit to absent themselves—(Hear)—w ere entirely absent from the division, and in consequence allowed the measure to be carried.—(Hear, hear.) The greater number of the present Cabinet being Members of the House of Lords, were those who absented themselves.— I do hope, therefore, that if the Right Hon. Gentleman has any further censures to pass on those who may be absent on a particular division, he may have some mercy on those very considerate persons who are now his collesgues.—( Cheers. ) Sir R. PEEL said the Noble Lord was good enough to lay down some propositions very difficult to understand. He told us, first, that it was of more importance what the Legis lature should determine, than what the Minister should desire.—( Hear, hear.) He was also good enough to state that no measure can become the law of the land till it be enacted by Parliament.--( Hear, hear, and laughter.) Ex cellent information ! But it is information which those who have sat in Parliament for some time do not require. —(Cheers.) In the attack the Noble Lord made on me fir expressing a hope that the House would proceed to consider the question, he conveniently omitted the parenthesis which I used, to the effect that it should be considered with all the de liberation which is due to the question. I was speaking , after seven nights' debate, and when the consideration of the resolution had not been entered on, and I expressed a wish, which I believe to be in conformity with the public wish -( Hear, hear)—that the House should, as far as is consistent with the deliberation due to the question. approach to the set tlement of the question.—( Hear.) I am sorry that I should have excited the Noble Lord's indignation.— I was not aware that the Noble Lord would think it convenient to vindicate his friend, by the example of the House of Lords.—( Hear, hear.) I laid down no general principle, that an Honourable Member was bound to vote on every question, but when a Member comes forward, and ex presses his opinion on the question, and says—•' the Corn laws ought now to be repealed," I thought he ought to have given his vote in conformity with the principles which he expressed.—( Hear, hear. ) Sir C. NAPIER was not sure whether he rightly under stood the Right Hon. Baronet or not, when he said that a merchant in Liverpool wrote a letter to America for a cargo o corn, and that it arrived in six weeks ; and was he correct ? Sir R. PEEL—It was a cargo of flour.—( Hear.) Sir C. NAPIER would admit that if a merchant in Liver pool wrote by steam, to America, for a cargo of corn or flour, it might arrive within six weeks if the ship had a fair wind; but he would ask the Right Hon. Baronet, supposing the ship had a fair wind how long would it take her to reach Liverpool?—( Roars of laughter for some minutes.) He (Sir Charles Napier) had crossed the Atlantic Ocean many times, and he never remembered that a fast-sailing ship had ever performed the voyage in less than a month. He did not mean to say that ships had not done it in less time P • and if the Right Hon. Baronet meant that the cargo came b y steam, he ( Sir Charles Napier) would at once agree with him. But if the voyage were to be made by a sailing ship, nine times out of ten she would be much longer. The Right Honourable Baronet talked about corn com ing from America, now if an order were sent to Alex andria to bring a cargo of corn to England, how long would it take to come ? Not less than two months. From Odessa it would take three months ; nor could a cargo come from any port in the Mediterranean in a deep laden merchant ship in less than two months.—(Cries of " Withdraw, ques tion, divide, and adjourn.") Sir R. PEEL seeing that other gentlemen wished yet to speak on the question, had no desire to ask for a division that night. He was perfectly ready to accede to the pleasure of the House, either to go on with the debate, or to adjourn it.— ( Cries of " Adjourn," and " Go on.") Mr. JOHNSTONE, on behalf of himself and other Mem bers, anxious to speak on this most important question, would move that the debate be adjourned.—(Cheers, and "Goon.") The gallery, alter some confusion, was cleared for a division on the question of adjournment ; but the motion of the Hon. Member was agreed to without a division, and the debate was accordingly adjourned to this evening. EXCHEQUER BILL FRAUD. In answer to a questiol from Mr. iIiAWES7 The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that though he could not bring forward to-morrow his motion re latine to the Exchequer Bill Fraud, he was deeply sensible of the importance of the subject, and he should take the earliest opportunity of submitting to the House. his motion with regard to it. He had postponed that motion hitherto merely from a conviction that the question of the Coin-laws should take precedence of al! other business. IMPORTATION OF AMERICAN CORN INTO CANADA. Mr. LABOUCHERE wished to call the attention of the Government to a subject connected with their proposed policy with respect to articles of foreign produce. He thought it was very desirable that the House shou'd know what were the intentions of the Government with respect to the duty to be imposed upon American corn imported into Canada; and when they were ma d e acqua i nte d w i t h t h e inten tions of Ministers on the subject of the importation of cora into this country from the Colonies, he hoped the Govern ment would inform the House as to their intentions upon the subject of the duty to be imposed upon corn imported into Ca nada from the United States, in the first instance. Sir It PEEL thought the request of the Right Hon. Gen tleman perfectly reasonable, and he should certainly accede to it. The House then adjourned at a Quarter past One o'Clock. METROPOLITAN YOUNG MEN'S ANTI-MONOPOLY ASSOCIATION. The public dinner of this Association was held yesterday evening at six o'Clock, at the Crown and Anchorn Tavern, Strand. Upwards of 200 persons sat down. Mr. P. A. Taylor, jun., in the Chair. On the removal of the cloth, • The CHAIRMAN rose and proposed the health of " Her Ma jesty the Queen," which was drank with three times three, and I secondly, " Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales, and the Royal Family at present in England." He dwelt with particular em phasis on the Duke of Sussex, in whom honesty held predomi nance over political views. After a short speech from Dr. Bowring, who had only a few minutes to spare on account of his Parliamentary duties, The CitAin.mAx rose and proposed the next toast, which, he observed, was the most essential toast of the evening, inasmuch as it embodied the very principle of their Association, viz., “ Free Trade, and a Total and Immediate Repeal of the Pro vision-laws." It had been urged as unbecoming that young men should be initiated, as it was the effect of their Association to do, into the intricacies and agitation of politics, but the plain question was not alone of such an import—it was that alone of plain justice. Surely, when on all occasions France and Germany sent forth their students as patriots to the battle when necessity required, England should not be backward in prompting her young men towards a career full as praiseworthy. The next toast was—" Colonel Thompson." Colonel Tiloafrsoti, on rising said, that it was true he was the first who had struck the pick-axe into the mound and dam which kept us from the enjoyment of Heaven's bounties. it was fifteen years since he began, and from that time to the pre sent he had not ceased. He was glad to see a Young Men's Anti-Monopoly Association, which assured them of the certainty of their leaving a legacy of resistance to the wrongous laws in existence. As young men he saw in them those who were to build up families, who were to be the leading men of the king dom, and one day to hold in their hands the strings of public opinion. He exhorted them to persevere, and slacken not in energy. They were properly men who ought to rise to the top of society by virtue of their simple industry and powers, but oppres sive laws kept them down, and restrained their efforts. He would give tbem what he called his private opinion : he would adjure them not to enter into family bonds, to ally themselves to no women who would not submit to the extirpation of the Corn-laws, for in doing otherwise they were but mu l t i p l y i ng slaves.— ( Cheers. ) When deep feelings, such as these, entered into men's natures, they were sure to work effect. It was tho roughly amusing to observe the trivial shifts by which the se rious and grave attentions of the people were sought to be diverted at the present day.—(Cheers. ) First Prince Albert is supposed vastly to relieve trade by altering the cut of his pantaloons to a certain length and fashion. The next move will be to shorten his pantaloons iii order that the maker may be benefited, or probably he will finally reject them, altogether, and, getting rid of his small clothes, appear in a kilt.—( Laughter.) . Mr. COATES, and several members of the Association, then addressed the assembly in able and excellent speeches, after which the party separated at an advanced hour. COURT CIRCULAR. - - - - Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge visited her Majesty the Queen Dowager on Tuesday at Marlborough House.

ORDINATION. At a general ordination, held in the Cathedral Church of Lincoln, on Sunday morning, by the Lord Bishop of the diocese, the following gentlemen were admitted into Holy Orders : DEACONS.—Of Oxford.—Henry Neville, 8.A., Trinty College; Edward Shepherd, 8.A., Exeter College. Of Cambridge. —Richard Eaton Monins, 8.A., St. John's College ; Stephen Lea Wilson, 8.A., St. Peter's College ; Richard Baldock, B. A., St. John's College ; John Teague, B. A. , Emmanuel College.

TIM KENT STEAMER.—Further accounts were on Tuesday received in the City relative to the Kent steamer, the property of the Commercial Steam Navigation Company, which Tan ashore on the Hampshire coast, between Hurst Castle and Christ church Point during the heavy fog on the morning of Saturday last, while on her passage from Torquay to Southampton. It ap pears that immediately after the crew had safely landed the passen. gers, they set about saving the cargo, in which they were successfirl, but the vessel was so firmly imbedded in the sand that it was im possible to more her, and in the course of Saturday night and Sunday morning heavy seas broke over her, and she became a total wreck. Early on Monday morning the brig Edinburgh Castle, Goodridge master, arrived alongside of the wreck, having on board a party of engineers and seamen from Lymington, for the purpose of breaking her up to get at her engines and machinery, which are stated to be nearly new ; but that cannot be effected in the present boisterous state of the weather. BALL FOR THE RELIEF OF THE SPITALFIEDS WEAK E RS. —On Tut sday a grand dress and costume hall, in aid of the distressed Spitalfields weavers, took place in Willis's Rooms, King-street, St. James's. The destitute state of many hundreds of the Spitalfields weavers rendered some effort on the part of the general community necessary for present relief, and the success which attended the recent ball in behalf of the Poles suggested the probability that a similar entertainment for the relief of our own perishing countrymen might be pro ductive of a similar result. Under this impression, a number of the more opulent tradesmen at the West-end formed them selves into a Committee of Management. The Committee comprised the names of Mr. Burn, of Sackville-street ; Mr. Cobbett, of the same place; Mr. Firmin, Strand; Mr. Pores, Piccadilly; Mr. Peat, Piccadilly ; Mr. Pearce, Long-aere ; and upwards of a dozen other gentlemen , equa ll y respectable, and i as warmly actuated n the praiseworthy cause . H a d t h e ball been under the most aristocratic patronage, we doubt if it would have succeeded better—certainly the ball-room could not have presented a more elegant-looking company. Some of the dresses were magnificent in the extreme, and the coup d'ceil must have been as cheering to the more active promoters of the ball as it was gratifying to the mere seeker of enjoyment. Between f our an d fi ve h un dred persons attended, and kept th e ball alive till art early hour yesterday morning. It is prolr.7 le that, in consequence of the acceptance of the G overnor - Generalship o f Jama i ca by th e E ar l of Elgin (late Lord Bruce), the question which was about to be raised as to the right of a Scottish Peer to sit in the House of Commons for an English borough will not in the present instance be pressed to a deeisioa,— To r y fuer.

It had no smack of statesmanship in it, and he will have that the Parliament is not responsible for the distress of the people. We must now conc!ude by saying, that when he resumed his seat, a little before one o'clock, there was, for a considerable time much noise and confusion in the Ilouse, between the calls for an adjournment, and for a division. Lord JOHN Rus- SELL recommended that every gentleman should be allowed an opportunity of expressing his opinions ; at length Sir ROBERT PEEL acquiesed, and the motion of Mr. JOHNSTONE for the Rouse to resume, and the de bate to be adjourned, was agreed to. The annual official accounts of the trade and naviga tion of the empire have recently been published, and, feeling much interested in the reputation of Sir R. PEEL, we turned at once to the article " TEA" to ascertain to shat extent the public distress had been caused by the interruption of the trade with China, to which it has been mor?than once partly ascribed by the great teacher and head of the nation. To our satisfaction, but not to our surprise, for we knew the man, we found that the tea taken into home consumption in the year 1841, 36,396,078 lbs., exceeded the consumption of 1840, 32,262,892 lbs., by 4,133,186 lbs. At the same time we must state, that the quantity imported in 1840, 28,021,882 lbs., exceeded the quantity imported in 1841, 17,242,106 lbs., by 10,779,776 lbs. This appeared some confirmation of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S statement ; but it was stated in the Times of Feb. 2, in its City article, which is generally good authority for such matters, that the ships entered inwards from places within the limits of the Company's charter in 1840 were 592, tonnage 235,440, men 12,764, while in 1841, the number of ships entered inwards was 788, tonnage 318,980, men 16,304 ; being, says our Con temporary, an increase in favour of the year just closed of 196 ships, 83,540 tonnage, and 3,540 men. Of this in crease 23 ships were from China, 19 from Penang and Singapore. A similar increase took place in the ships cleared out wards for places within the Company's charter, which was in 1841 above 1840, 74 ; tonnage, 49,040 ; men, 1,438 ; the number of ships in 1840 being 932, tonnage 359,567, men 19,954 ; and for 1841—ships 1,006, ton nage 408,607, and men 19,954. The increase, says the Times, comprised: seventeen ships for China, seven for Ceylon, and five for Singapore. So much for the inter ruption of our trade with China in the year 1841, which Sir R. PEEL, in his zeal to uphold the Bread-tax, insisted was one of the causes of the distress of the people. We may add that the increase of the East India and China trade during the last year with the port of London, is more than the whole increase of that trade in the year, showing that some other branches of trade must have fallen tiff considerably. Another part of these returns points out a more fea sible source of our distress than the falsely presumed interruption of the China trade. The tonnage entered inwards in 1840 was 4,105,207, and in 1841, 3,982,129, showing a falling off of 123,078 tons. The 'tonnage cleared outwards, however, was in 1840, 3,392,626, and in 1841, 3,543,456. So that our imports were falling oft; while our exports were increasing, or more was going out of the country than was coming in. It must not be said that this does not show actual values, nor actual quantities ; we know that ; but, presuming that the relations of value continued nearly the same in 1841, as in 1840, and the number 'of vessels which came and' went away empty were, in both years, about the same, the fact we have quoted is valuable as an indication of the change whioh is going on. According to the old commercial theory, it would have been considered an advantage, as the ex cess of comforts, it would have been said, would have to be paid fur in the precious metals; but we are better in formed, and know that it is the imports and not the ex ports which are the realisation of the merchant's venture, and the means of enriching the nation. Prosperity consists in continual increase, and when we find the quantity of cotton taken into home consumption, falling off from 531,197,8171b5. in 1840, to 440,297,1011b5. in 1841, the quantity of timber imported diminishing, the quantity of dye stuffs diminishing, no great increase in our home trade, and a positive falling off of our foreign trade ; we say that it is high time that the nation placed its interests in the keeping of other hands than those who insist on taxing its bread, and are not ashamed to make false but plausible statements in de fence of their injustice.—Since this was written, we have heard Sir ROBERT PEEL'S lame defence of his statement about China, and Mr. HASTIE'S reply, and we think the Right Hon. Baronet has not come off with flying colour s. dons, which exists in England, is solely owing to the popular impression that it is not so rituch the SOVEREIGN, as her Lieutenant, that governs Ireland, and that the something in its social condition, which requires it to be thus treated as a colony, sufficiently accounts for the discontent and misery of the inhabitants. Besides, in this age of steam, Dublin is but twelve hours distant from Buckingham Palace, so that the voice of our gra cious SOVEREIGN can be heard sooner in the . Irish capi tal than in her good city of Edinburgh. Ireland has been too long go; 'rued by deputy, and nothing surprises us more than the little support which the pro position of that steady and consistent friend of Ireland, Mr. HUME, received when he moved in Parliament the abolition of the Vice-regal office. A temperate, but firm Government ; impartiality in the administration of the laws ; and the adoption of some extensive system for the construction of railways, the clearing of waste lands, and the improvement of the general husbandry of Ireland, is all that is wanted to make it one of the best and happiest countries of Europe. But the remedies, to prove effectual, must be applied without delay. The clever and impartial writer of the pamphlet before us admits that two-thirds of the population of Ireland are now Repealers. So long as Ireland remains in her pre sent state, their numbers must go on increasing. Here is more work for Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Cabinet. The Madrid Papers are of the 14th. The public mind seemed very much agitated by the news from Portugal. Three per Cents. on the 14th, were done at 21 for cash, and 22* for 60 days ; Five per Cents., 30 for cash, and 30i to 311 at GO days. The French Minister of Justice has yielded so far to the repeated demands of the Opposition, as to bririg for ward a Bill for the Amelioration of the Criminal Code. No measure could be more wanted. The mode of ad ministering justice in France is disgraceful to a free country. It is not uncommon for persons arrested for offences against the State, or at the instance of officers of the Crown, to remain from four to eight months in prison, the daily and nightly associates of convicted felons, and then to be told that there is no evi,dence of their guilt, and therefore they may go about their business. Even if a Court ad judge them innocent, they have no remedy for a period of incarceration, which may have utterly ruined them in fame, in property, and in respect for personal character, They enter their prisons innocent and honest men, and they frequently leave it outcasts and vagabonds, without the shadow of any legal redress for their cruel injuries. Many offences, too, which are of a comparatively venial character, are not bailable in France ; and this is another evil which the Ministerial Bill promises par tially to remedy. The French army in Africa is engaged in carrying on nightly razzias, or marauding expeditions, against the adherents of ABD-EL-KADER. Horses, mules, cows, sheep, women, and children are the usual spoils of the Gallic conquerors. The Presse treats the account of the plot, formed in France for revolutionizing Spain, as a comedy got up by England. Let us try if we cannot make a farce of it. We know that when put in rehearsal at the Tuileries it was intended for one of the sternest tragedies acted upon the bloody theatre of the Peninsula since 1812, But the eclat given to it by the Press, and the announcement of Sir ROBERT PEEL in the House of Commons of the "sym pathy felt for ESPARTERO by the English Government, have doubtless put some of the intended actors out of conceit with their parts. If Louis PHILIPPE de cline his share in the business, then we may indeed ex pect a farce instead of a tragedy ; and his MAJESTY is too wary a politician to persevere in an infamous pro ceeding against a neighbouring State, after all Europe has got an inkling of his designs. As he can no longer aim a deadly blow against Spain in secret, he will hardly be sO rash as to raise his arm. Great stress is laid by the aristocracy and the country gentlemen on the burdens pressing exclusively on the land, and assuming that this is. a matter beyond all doubt, they insist that a tax be levied on the people to compensate them for contributing more than any other class to the revenue. If this is a fact, it certainly can be ascertained, and Sir ROBERT PEEL'S agents might have been better employed in collecting evidence on the subject, than in wandering over the Continent to find out inhabitants more poor and wretched than the English. This, however, would not suit his purpose. These " exclusive burdens" are to be shaded in mystery, and therefore magnified far above their real amoufit, as an excuse for benefiting a particular class. When the Member for Manchester asked him' to specify these burdens, the only answer was, that opinidns were divided on the subject ; and when pressed for his own opinion, he could, or would give none, and excited the laughter of those around him by attempting to turn the Hon. Member into ridicule. He will find, however, that the question cannot be thus evaded, and that before the Committee has settled the new sliding scale thee heavy burdens will be brought to light. Mr. P. STEWART last night cleared up the matter a little, and showed that the landlords, instead of being taxed more than others, have an annual exemption to the amount of nearly a million and a half sterling. The special burdens said, amount to 1,200,000/, while e h to which personal property is liable, amount specialt on 2, lu :O rnd O de ,oo lls OL The monopolists were silent'for a good reason. The burden on land, in fact, is a mere bugbear: Poor-rates are paid by all, and on no class at present do they press more heavily than on the inhabitants of towns where the people are starving for the good of the landlords. Tithes never belonged to them. They have been, since the days of the Levites, the property of the Church. For hundreds of years land has been devised, purchased, occupied by powerful freebooters, like Scow of Buccleucb, or handed over to favourites by spendthrift Sovereigns, on the express con dition that Mother Church was to havJ her full share. We trust Mr. STEWART and Mr. COBDEN will not suffer this question to rest till they have proVed, beyond dispute, that of all classes the landed gentry are the most lightly taxed ; and that in every instance, except one, when they were frightened to death by BONAPARTE, they have taken the most tender care of their own pockets. on relative'Tuesday o n t i h g e h t r , g a n n i s t ‘ i v o e o r o t o f t A h l e r. . p H r e t s N o u n The observations made by Sir B. PEEL in the Houge o• L f Commons v"s uest question tt t Government of Spain by the Great Northern Powers, will cast another damper upon the intrigues of the French Court. Sir ROBERT PEEL stated that all the influ ence which the British Cabinet could command had been employed to induce the Great Continental Powers to recognize the Government of which Es. PARTERO is the head, •and that England desired nothing more ardently - than to see Spain independent of all foreign interference. The King of the FRENCH will be at no loss to understand this allusion of the Tory Premier. His MAJESTY and Madame Muxoz will learn from this that there is no party in this coun try favourable to the claims of CARLOS or CHRISTINA to the sovereignty of Spain. U p on this question the Tories have, very wisely and prudently, come round to the opinions of the Whigs ; nor is there any fear that even the Morning Post will longer put itself forward as the champion of CARLOS, though for so many years his devoted slave. 'There is no longer any mystery about the disposition of the English Cabinet towards Es- PARTERO'S Spanish Administration. Of Spain, as now go verned, Great Britain declares herself the faithful friend and ally. Her influence at other Courts, her good . offices at home, are officially declared to be at the disposal of ESPAILTERO. Taking the deep interest which we do in the triumph of constitutional liberty in Spain, we feel grateful to the Premier for taking so debided a course upon this question. That it will utterly confound the machinations of the Paris conspirators, we have good reason to regard as a moral certainty. The agitation of the Repeal question by the LORD MAYOR of Dublin has recently given birth to a number of clever pamphlets on the social, commercial, and poli tical state of Ireland. Of these, one of the most sen sible and most practical is by a Fellow of the Dnblin Law Institute, entitled " Ireland and Irish questions considered ; " in which an ex tensive ac quaintance is show n with all the errors and mistakes of past Govern ments in the administration of that country. The writer is opposed to the Repeal of the Union, which he proves, instead of benefiting, would entail immense misery and dependenc e upon Ireland ; and he contends that one of the first duties of the British Government ought to be . to make the Union more perfect than itis, by assimilating as much as possible the Institutions of the two countries. To effect this, he would abolish the office of Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, which imparts a sort of colonial character to the Administra tion of the Irish Government. We do not think that he could begin with a better step. The office of a Lieu tenant is exceedingly injurious to Ireland.

We are afraid that the public will learn with no satisfaction that the debate was not concluded last night, though Sir 11. PEEL spoke, and did what he could to bring on a division. He even at the close of his speech expressed very emphatically a hope that after the division, and after the motion was negatived by a large majority, the House would proceed as quickly as possible, with a due regard to proper deliberation, to pass his measure into a law. He urged this beeause commerce would not be settled till it knew what those other. measures were which her MAJESTY'S - Government were prepared to bring forward. We are not ourselves convinced that this is not a proper wish. It is now quite clear, we are afraid, that from the Parliament nothing more is to be got than the measures proposed by the Government. Success must be obtained, not by proceedings in Parliament, where right prin ciples are deserted by the Whigs, but by proceedings out of Parliament ; and probably the sooner attention is now diverted from that assembly to the means by which public sentiment can be brought efficaciously to bear on the aristocracy, the nearer we shall be to the attainment of justice. Besides, whatever of settlement and improvement the measures of the Ministers can give to trade, should as speedily as possible be brought about. We are, therefore, more inclined to adopt the view which the Times took of the scheme yesterday. That Journal, after showing that it was without any jus tification whatever, concluded by . expressing a hope that it might, as speedily as possible, become a law. Delaying it may add to the distress, passing it can have no such immediate effects, and, there fore, probably the best plan will be to look, in the first instance, beyond the Parliament, to obtain that justice which the Parliament steadily and obstinately denies the people. Sir ROBERT PEEL'S was the great speech of the evening, and though we cannot now examine it, we must say that it made out no defence whatever for the existing law, and showed no good reason why it should not be repealed. In fact, Sir ROBERT PEEL has • come completely over to our opinion, and admits that the law has done no good to agriculture. We have stated more than once, that the growth and success of manufactures con stitute a greater stimulus to agriculture than all the laws that ever were passed since the days of MINos. We stated that expressly, to show that agriculturists had no reason to dread the abolition of the law. To our sur prise, and to our infinite satisfaction, we heard Sir R. PEEL almost use our words last night, and say, th . at the growth of manufactures was of more importance to the success of agriculture t,hitn any Corn-laws. By that he gives up the whole question in dispute. There is not the shadow of a doubt that the Corn-laws injure manufactures ; by injuring manufactures they must in jure agriculture. In fact the stimulus, as we have before said, given to agriculture by the increase of population, and the growth of manufactures, is so great, that the influence of laws, however contrived, is as nothing compared .to it. Under the shadow of manufactures, then, and not under the shadow of the law, have the great interests involved in agriculture grown up. As they are not caused or even protected by the law, to repeal it, which would increase manufactures, would also stimulate agriculture, and be the best means of increasing and protecting its complicated interests. Sir ROBERT PEEL boggled • indeed at the effects of the law, and concluded that it must be beneficial, because the Legislature passed it for that purpose. lie inconsistently said he would not repeal it, while he admitted that it does no good. We can assure him and his party that he has given up the whole case in stating that manufactures are more useful to agricul ture than a Corn -law. ~ We shall return to Sir ROBERT PEEL'S speech, which was a mere piece of special pleading be tween manufactures and agriculture, if the whole community consisted of cotton lords and BOURSE—PAius, MONDAY, FEB. 21. . .

A Mr. Markham, one of the parties im plicated, confesses to having received money for his services at the Nottingham election, from a leading Tory, and confidential friend of the Duke of Rutland ; and Mr. Cooper, another Chartist, states, that at the con elusion of an Anti-Corn-law meeting in the market-place of Leicester, he received from " a Conservative gentle man" the sum of twelve pounds, ten shillings everyfarthing of which lie paid to the working-men f or the services they rendered on that day. Truly these are edifying disclo sures, but they reflect far more disgrace on the wealthy and unscrupulous Tories, who offered the bribe, than on the poor working-men whose necessities tempted them to accept it. Not that these last are to be held justified for what they did ; far caerwise ; their conduct deserves to be severely reprobated ; but, after all, it may be con sidered venial, compared with that of the Tories, who had no stern, stringent necessities to pleftd in excuse for their behaviour ; and who were quite shrewd and enlight ened enough to foresee its demoralizing consequences. We consider a genuine Tory, in his political capacity, as the most unmitigated rogue in existence. Not only is he deficient in public principle himself, but he seems actually incapable of appreciating its value in others. In fact, he appears to be wholly destitute of what maybe called the moral sense. To promote his own party in terests, he will not hesitate to sacrifice—as in the flagrant instance before us—the peace, the self respect, the happiness, and the integrity of hundreds of his poorer fellow-countrymen. And yet when a question of bribery is brought before Parliament, who is so loud in his denunciation of it, as your thorough-going Tory ? Who so shocked at the flagrant character of the crime ? Who so forward to suggest measures to prevent its recurrence ? In a word, who combines the most drivelling cant with the most un- , blushing effrontery in so disgusting a manner, whenever circumstances compel him to deliver an opinion on the subject of bribery and corruption ? There are Metho dists in politics as well as in religion, and we consider a Tory to be a political Methodist of the.first water. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Pttbttt Optutoit. " Who runs may read." posizioar. The Railway question excites a good deal of interest in France. The Debuts says :—" The want of financial foresight in the Minister of Public Works has been no ticed by most of the Deputies who have spoken on this subject in the bureaux. It would appear that he has not even reflected that the proposed lines would cost from 700 to 750 millions of francs. The cost of the works fbr 1842 and 1843 are to be charged to the account of the floating debt, the r ema i n d er to . t h e reserve of the sinking fund. These resources, however, are, illusory ; M. Duchatel says that F rance may expend annually upon railways sixty millions a-year without suspending other public works, but where are these sixty millions to be found?" The National thinks that the Minister of Public Works has issued .a programme, which he will not be able to realise, and says that if the 120 or 130 leagues of railway, which it is proposed to construct, were on a single line either from'Paris to Lyons, or Paris to Stras burg, France would, in two years, have a really national work; whereas,says the National, by the plan of the Minister of Public Works, which is to have portions of railways scattered over different portions of the territory, there will be just enough done, and th a t slowly, t o in spire general disgust for an undertaking yielding such insignificant results. Very little more is said in the French capital respect ing the forthcoming Spanish revolution, and it is now supposed, as the Carlists will not act as long as Don Carlos refuses formally to abdicate in favour of his son, and sanction' their operations, that the Christinos find themselves unequal to successfully compete with Espar tero, and consequently the intended rising is adjourned sine die. La Patrie . contains th e f o ll ow i ng :—" It appears that fresh difficulties have arisen to increase the embarrass ments of our Government. We have been informed, from undoubted authority, that General Cass, the American Minister, has just placed in the hands of the Minister for Foreign Affairs an official note, in which he protests in strong terms against the treaty. Amongst the important documents an nexed to this note, we shall cite an exact ro turn of the ordinary trade carried on by the United States in the seas now divided into zones. It results from those returns that the shipping obliged to traverse those zones amount altogether to 828,583 tons, whi c h g i ve a sum total, including their departure and return, of 2,157,166 tons. Those returns do not include the ships from New Orleans and the ports from the Gulf of Mexico trading with the north of Europe, which may be estimated at 500,000 tons, form ing altogether 2,157,166 tons. The note adds, thatrather than renounce her trade. the American Gevernment would a thousand times prefer having war, on which she is determined, and will not h es it a t e f or a s i ng l e i n stant. In fine, it is observed in this note, that in case of a rupture, France would find herself necessarily engaged as one of the belligerent parties, inasmuch as she is by the terms of the treaty obliged to exercise the right of s earch. Authority h as recent l y b een granted f or t h e establish ment of a natio na l b an k i n Hungary. The capital is to be two million s o f fl or i ns , or fi ve millions of francs, and the rate of interest on advances is fixed at 5 per cent., which will be a great accommodation to the trade of the country. Several hundred capitalists have taken shares in this undertaking. A 'Turin letter, in the Augsburg Gazette, says that negotiations have been opened by the Court of Brazil for the marriage of the two young Princesses, sisters of the Emperor; with two Princes of the House of Savoy. According to advices from Athens of the 3d inst., in the Augsburg Gazette, M. Mavrocordato's nomination as Ambassador to the Ottoman Porte has been definitively settled. He was holding daily conferences with the Ministers. The Turkish Government is stated to have ordered accurate observations of all cases of plague in its domi nions to be made and registered, with the view of throw ing light on the important question concerning the limits of contagion from that malady. The Amsterdam papers state that the project of a rail road from St. Petersburgh to Moscow received the Impe rial sanction on the 26th ult. ; that the expense is esti mated at 40 millions of silver roubles, or upwards of 160 millions of francs ; and that the money will be furnished by the house of Heerket and DLrfour, at Leipsic, under the guarantee of the Russian Government, at 4 per cent. interest. PARZXAMENTARY. The Lords did not meet yesterday. In the Commons the petition of the Queenbdrough burgesses was ordered to be printed, after a short de bate, for the use of the Members only. Sir James Graham, we gather from his answer to Captain Pechell, means to put an end to the Gilbert unions, by his new Poor-law Bill. Lord Stanley is to state what he knows, to-day, about a massacre which has taken place in Jamaica. A debate took place on a motion of Mr. Anson to call Sir Thomas Cochrane to the bar of the house to answer the allegations of Mr. Ashurst's petition re lative to the Ipswich Election, but in the end, the motion was withdrawn. Sir Robert Peel, in reply to Mr. C. Buller, expressed his determination to proceed with no other business till the Corn-law question was settled. The Marquis of Normanby's two Bills to regulate buildings and to make improvements in boroughs were put off for six months by Mr. Fox Maule, because they trespassed on the privileges of the House, and are to be brought into the Commons hereafter. We gather from what Sir James Graham said that the Government will "support them. The debate on the Corn-laws was resumed by Mr. Ewart, and occupied the House the remainder of the evening. There was a considerable number of speaker..:, but the impatience of the House hardly allowed them to be heard. The House rose at One o'Clock. PUBLIC OPINION. The Times has no great opinionof Sir James Gra ham's statesmanship as regards his proposed amendment of the Poor-law Bill, observing, "we only hope it may not turn out to be something more positively mischievous than we were prepared for. We should be betraying our duty to the poor if we did not advise them to abandon all hope of good from a Minister who deals thus with the people. Sir James Graham is evidently doing his best to ruin the Government with which he is connected. From the sample of his intended measure which he has thought proper to disclose, we augur the worst of what remains behind." The Chronicle remarks that, as the chief of a new Mi nistry, Sir Robert Peel has made a great blunder ; as the agent and champion of the food monopoly, he has made a greater blunder. Both ways his error is irre trievable. But he can neither recall the past, nor avoid the future. He must go on. He has to work through the Legislature a law which the people are publicly dis cussing previously how to render of no effect as law. It is doomed to contempt, hatred, and' resistance, before it is enacted. _ _ _ The Adveriiser has an article on the subject of certain treaties entered upon between this country and some of the Courts of the Continent, wherein our Contemporary observes that Denmark will no doubt benefit herself by these modifications of her Tariff, but that it will be equally to the advantage of Great Britain, to meet that Northern Power in the ports of this country in a spirit of equal liberality. To lower duties on, is to cherish commerce - _ vv The Post. comments as follows on some remarks about "the dependence of man upon man," made by Lord Pal merston in his late speech in the Commons:--" The de pendence of ' man upon man,' may, we repeat, be a very delightful thing when the dependence' is mutual. and the conditions of the dependence' honest. But the ' dependence' to which free-trade must always lead never can be mutual—its conditions never can be honest, The very object of free-trade is cheap production ;' and cheap production involves; of necessity, a low re muneration to the labourer. The more widely, there fore, the principles of free-trade shall be acted on, the deeper must become the misery of the labouring classes —the more extensive must become the power of capitalist and of idle consumers over the humble order of pro ducers." The Herald observes in an article on the affairs of Portugal.:—" The abrogation of the ultra-liberal Con stitution of Portugal, and the restoration of the charter of Don Pedro, is an affair which is of itself of little in terest. Portugal can scarcely be worse governed under the one than she has been under the other. The abne gation of the necessary power from the Executive under the Constitution, and the personal restraint and subser vience which is imposed on the Sovereign, sufficiently account for its unpopularity in the Court of Donna Maria—for the Royal desire to return to the charter of her august parent. If such only be the provocatives to the recent revolution at Lisbon, it is, we repeat, an affair of little intrinsic importance." MONEY—Tnambr.--cowwERCE. At West Bromwich nearly all the men are out o: work, and the utmost destitution prevails among the poor COMMERCIAL REFORM. A great out-door meeting was held at Manchester on Monday evening in Stevenson's-square. There were no less than 7,000 men assembled on the occasion under the full moon, and a larger meeting has not taken place within the last ten tears. A report will be found in anu ther part of The Sun. An important meeting took place at Wolverhampton on Tuesday, composed of tbe leading men of the town and the Chartists, between whom a common union nas made, and both joined in resolutions for the removal of the Premier from office, and petitions to the Queen were carried to that effect. ECCLESIASTICAL. The Roman Government, it is said, has authorised the Bishop of Algiers to build 10 new churches there, and to have his own cathedral enlarged. The Latter Day Saints assert"that out of 600 religious creeds now upon earth, all are in the dark but themselves. One of their apostles declared last week, at Manchester, that their preachers could take poison without injury, could heal sick by touching of hands, handle serpents without hurt, and speak and interpret in unknown tongues.

At Clerkenwell, on Tuesday, a Russian, of the name of Bowmski, was charged with stealing, on the 4th inst., a gold watch, value fifty guineas, ,the property of Mr. W: Tooke, the solicitor. it appeared the prisoner had called on Mr. Tooke at his chambers, in Bedford-row, and had taken advantage of his absence to steal the watch. On being arrested, be attempted to stab the po liceman with a pocket knife ; anti, failing in that, he wounded himself severely in the left side, and has been since, in the London Hospital in= a dangerous state. There being some suspicion that he . had already been convicted, the Magistrate remanded 'him till the truth could be ascertained. Tuesday, at Greenwich, nine labourers employed at the Croydon Railway were fined in sums varying from ls. to 20s. each, for an unprovoked assault upon a police constable of the name of String.

M. d c Clateaubriand's M.S. and copyright works were sold on Friday by auction to M. de Saint Esprit for 15:3,000 francs (6,0001.) One thromfacturer has, it is asserted, within the last 15 years exported upwards of 1,500 printing presses to all parts of the world—so great has been the spread of printing. SPORTING. Prince Albert has added Hamlet to his valuable hunt ing stud. THEA7'II.XCAL. Among the novelties of the Promenade Concerts at the English Opera-house, on Tuesday, was a fine solo on the flute composed and played by Mr. Richardson, with great elegance ; and a concerto on the ophicleide by M. Pros pere, remarkably round and full of tone. A new one-act comedy, entitled the Woman-Hater, from the pen of Mr. B. Bernard, was produced at the Hay market on Tuesday night. Thepiece turns upon the dreams of a Baron Ravensburg, who entrenching himself in phi losophical biasses against women and a marriage -state, is led by a train of circumstances to adopt the opposite theories, and to reject Seneca for the solace of a wife.

Lord Cowley, the English Ambassador, despatched a courier last Monday to London, who was doubtless the bearer of the last answers of the French Cabinet on the question of the Right of Search. The man who is said to have carried the head of the Princess de Lamballe on a pike, named Chariot, and who had been himself one of the chief butchers in Paris, died a few days ago in the Faubourg St. Antoine. TAFF VALE RAI LW AY.—The iron-works in the neighbourhood of Merthyr constitute a most important section of the mineral basin of South Wales.
