The whole of that immense prison was built by the prisoners themselves. In this country no means were even taken to effect this object. Besides, why not transport them ? The cessation of the system of transportation had much injured the penal colonies, and . they would now be glad to give 5/. for every convict they could send them. The yr would willingly hire the labour of the convicts, labour being so valuable. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said when they came into office they found the building so far completed that they could not abandon it, even if they had doubted its policy. But so far from disapproving of it, they thought it an experiment well worth trying. The experiment, therefore, should undergo a fair trial, and he hoetal the House and the Government would ap prove of if.

S uhieet to p ropee regulations the abases of the system . might .be rensoved,soas to render it an effieient secondary punishment. He intended that this prison should come in aid of the system of transportation, by instructing . prisoners or_skilled labourers previous to sending them to a penal colony. ' Dr. BOWRING asked whether, in the architectural arrangements in arrangements of the prison, ,there were any arrangements for central inspection ? Sir J. GRAHAM had not been able to visit the o - son, but he believed the best mod e f. pri son, construction was adopted. Mr. lIII'ME approved of a better system of prison discipline being adopted, if transportation were to be dis eontinued. A BILL FOR PROVIDING FOR THE FURTHER SECURITY AND PROTEC TION OF HER MAJESTY'S PERSON. 1 This Bill, :which was introduced by Sir Robert Peel on Tuesday and read a first and second time, consists of 'two clauses. The first provides that persons charged with an attempt against the person of the Queen, shall be tried in the same manner, and according to the same c curse of trial, in every respect, as if such persons stood chArged with murder, and none of the provisions con tain.ed in the previous Acts against high treason shall extend to the indictment for attempting her Majesty's life. The second clause makes ample provision for the pu nishment of those who may be inclined to follow the example of the wretched being committed to take his trial for the last attack on her Majesty, and is as follows: " Be it enacted, that from and after the passing of this Act, if any person shall wilfully discharge or attempt to discharge, or point, aim or present at or near to the person of the Q ueen , any gun, p i stol, or any other des ,nption of fire-arms, or of other arm s w h atsover, although the same shall not contain any explosive or destructive material, or shall discharge or cause to be discharged any expl os i ve su b stance or material near to the person of the'Queen ; or if any person shall wilfully strike or strike at, or attempt to strike or to strike at, the person of the Queen with any offensive weapon, or 1 in any other manner whatsover ; or if any person shall ' wilfully throw or attempt to throw any substance, mat ter or thing whatsoever at or upon the person of the Queen. with intent in any of the cases aforesaid to injure the person of the Queen, or with intent in any of the cases aforesaid to break the public peace, or w i t h i ntent in any of the cases aforesaid to create alarm to her Majesty ; every such person so offending shall be guilty of a high misdemeanor, and, being convicted thereof in due course of law, shall be liable, at the discretion of the Court before which the said person shall be so con victed, to be transported beyond the seas for any period not exceeding seven years, or to be imprisoned with or without hard labour for any period not exceeding three years, and during the period of such imprisonment to b e publicly or privately whipped, as often and in such man. tier and form as the said Court shall order and direct, not exceeding thrice." ,s LATE EDITIOI , B of " THE SUN" in the CITY.

We will not copy from another part of The Sun the strong language used by Mr. COBDEN yesterday, at the meeting of the Anti-Corn-law League, but we earnestly recommend it to th 6 consideration of our readers. Mr• COBDEN is a man of property, and a well-informed able writer, as well as speaker. Under the title of "A Man chester Manufacturer" he has acquired extensive reputa tion. He is by temper and inclination, as well as habit, a reflecting, moderate, liberal man. He is one of the middle classes, whose welfare is bound up with peace and order ; yet Mr. COBDEN exhorts the League to " take any, every step to force from the Government jus tice for themselves and the people." He recommends them to "embarass the Government in every possible way." He says the more they embarass such a Govern ment the more they would fulfil their duty to themselves and their country ; keeping within the law, " whatever they could do to embarass the Government they were bound to do. They owed it no respect." " The Govern .ment is based on corruption, and the offspring of vice, corruption, violence, intimidation, and bribery." He derided the notion of preserving the public credit at the expense of national suffering ; and he held up to repro bation the money classes in London, who had never gone beyond their counting-house doors to inquire if the statements of distress were true or not. Mr. COBDEN is not only all that we have described, he is a Member of Parliament, who will be called on in the House of Commons to defend his opinions, and who would forfeit by violence and untruth the confidence of those who have made him their representative. To find such a man using such language, and to know that it meets the. approbation of the numerous and powerful bodies with which he is associated, is one of the signs of the times which the public and prudent statesman ought not to overlook. At the meeting of the. Anti-Corn-law League on Tuesday, at Manchester, Mr. Alderman BROOKS, in giving an account of the interview which the Deputa tion has had with Sir R. PEEL, said that " he was glad of the opportunity of telling Sir R. PEEL that he had become a Chartist." He had been so disgusted, it ap pears, by the conduct of the House of Commons. that he had joined the movement for Universal Suffrage. Such men as Mr. COBDEN and Mr. BROOKS represent the bulk of the mildle classes in the manufacturing dis tricts, and their sentiments are an indication of the sen timents of thousands. Men only respect and honour a Government for the protection it affords them, and the Government or Legis lature which inflicts impoverishment and ruin on them ' must be despised and hated. We do not wonder, there -1 fore, at the manufacturers now turning against the Government. As Mr. COBDEN stated in the House of Commons on Monday evening, there will soon be no middle classes in the manufacturing districts to stand between the aristocracy and the outraged people. The manufacturers and the shopkeepers will be ruined, or they will turn Chartists ; and in either case the democracy and the aristocracy will come into per sonal and fierce conflict. Let not the latter flatter themselves that this can be advantageous to them. Though they should succeed by military force in sub cluing the democracy, the attempt must be ruinous to their wealth and power. The union of all classes in England, society being more closely knit together here by the authority of the constable's staff than it is in other countries by the pressure of military power, is the main source of our superiority as a nation ; break or banish the middle classes —set the democracy and the aristod cracy in fierce array—require an army in every town, to preserve peace and obedience —and the power of Eng land will dwindle below the point which is due to her geographical extent. She will then have the turbulence, without the vigour of a popular Constitution ; and will be worse off, till time has destroyer) the friction be tween liberty and arbitrary power, than the States of the Continent, which run smoothly, if slowly and con strainedly, in the well-worn channels of despotism. There is no person in the empire more cruelly libelled than her MAJESTY. Is a in , asure required by the aris tocracy to keep out food and keep up rents, they go through a solemn farce, and declare that her MAJESTY — poor calumniated Ladyl—gives her assent to it. Is it necessary, in order that the Exchequer, drained by their extravagance, and shrunk and shrivelled for want of the supplies a prosperous trade would pour into it, should be filled by an Income-tax; her MAJESTY is pomp ously put forward, by those who should shield her from unpopularity, as consenting that her in come should be taxed, and as giving, at another stage, the Royal assent to this terrible infliction on her people. We have endeavoured to rescue her MAJESTY from these foul libels, by explaining to our readers that her gracious name is usurped by her Mi nisters, and that what they and what the law, with one of its customary fictions—or, to use a better English Vocal Music—Potition of pupils of the classes at Exeter Hall, under the sanction of the Committee of Council on Edu cation, for such an alteration in the terms of the annual grant for the promotion of education, as will enal4e the QoPIIIIIItte9 of Council to appropriate a sufficient sum of money in aid of the expenses of conducting the classes now held in Exeter Hall, and towards the provision of a suitable building for t hese Schools (Queen's tteeDFnmemlatiun signified); to lie on t he table. cup of bitterness has been for the people Sloplo time brimmed, and it only wanted this mockery of their suffering in the name of the QUEEN, to make it run over. We fee by our , correspondence that the pFopo sit ion has justly excited theindignatiou of the people, Admitting that the use of Machinery throws persons out of employment, as asserted by the Pro-Corn-law Pali", can anything be more najast flan for the Legis laturp to linai!, the supply of food, and poh4rtee it 4 pi4ce, to those whom the progress of society has thrown out of employment ? The present use of such an argument by tini T9ries to account for the national distress, is entirely and Ortiii iTT*yant to the Cure}-lacy qnestion; and it is only adopted, eve 4e4PFP? fIi:VPFt the exertions of the League from the breach they have made in the Corn-laws, to resist a §ham attack on their own lines. If all which the Tories . say of 03 pire4s of machinery be tree, betwixt them and the pffec4 of the P9Fn:4T there is a atrikles t 4iffp r ence. ''h,e nse and extension of machinery is not .oyd#ingsi by the I.,egislature-7-the Corn-law Is; for the effects of the formar, therpfore ? the Legislature is not yev i on4i4, for the effects of the latter it is. Should the former reAtily begs injqpinlig tp a class of the people as the irruption of the piropaoo into America has bean fat4i. tp the Red men, the Legislature cannot help it, Its duty 4 tpr' ea ! . f:t! titr'~it s l 13 bvery individual, fu tip foli ppsipssiou of ios and the free exercise of his right,s, It is bound, there fore, equally to protect the owner ofa self:acting mole in its free nee as the owner of e. distaff or a spade. If the exertions of the former sbnnid f@PciPr the labour of the latter less useful or valuable to other persona, the Legis lature must regard it as he regards the blight which spares one man's field, and utterly destroys the crops of another. The Corn-law, however, is altogether the off spring of the law-maker, it would not exist ex cept for him, and for ail its effects, even the most remote, for the effect of diminishing still more the value of that labour which machinery has partly superseded, he is responsible. No doubt, Sir R. PEEL meant, by adopting the vulgar argument of his party, to throw off from himself and the Legislature all responsibility • for the existing distress, But that is far too widely diffused to permit of the ex planation. It pervades Ireland where there is no machi nery as well as England where it abounds ; it is felt in the agricultural districts as well as at Manchester; at Nottingham, where no improvement has taken place in stocking-weaving, as well as at Bolton. or Stockport ; in the Whitehaven coal trade, where no steamers are em ployed, and in the Liverpool foreign and home trade, in which steamers abound. The wide diffusion of the dis tress, and its long continuance, completely disprove the opinion that it has been caused by the use of improved 4 4,chiupry. Sir R. PEEL, in truth, knows that the use a m achinery, though it may change the direction of labour, #lwq.pf increases the amount of employment; and it is ;Sense than nuo4ndj4 in !lip} to ascribe the vast and general distress to OW use Of lan ehinery, He seeks, by such u futile argammt, to throw on machinery fhp, responsibility for the existing evils, which belongs to i,eo;hition. Rightly con, idered, we are not sure that his prmsl49p is not impious as well as unjust, for he ascribes the bl i mp, 40 0 !}i# own mis chievous legislation, to Nature, or Goy. We have given et lenXth the second clause of the Bill introduced by Sir R. PEEL,, fiir the !nore effectual security of her MAJESTY'S person, and our readess will be glad to find that ono of the punishments is "whipping," either print° or public. We have el cr and navy, as well been to t opposed p p n o g flogging f i o n r tilaZglnalLeny, and still more t o tii whipping of old men—a punishment which a late Chief Justice f;eluently awarded ; and, indeed, so de grading and injurious to the future prospects of the suf ferer has this species of esagation appeared, that ninety-nine persons out of a hundred would have willingly voted for its total abolition. The heartless y ag abon4§, however, who have . lately so cruelly annoyed our vietms QUEEN, and dis-, graced their country, have no doubt inatevlany altered public opinion, and not ninety. nine out of a hundred, but the whole community, will be glad to learn that the dis graceful punishment is to be continued on the statute book, at all events, for the especial benefit of this new Cass of offenders. The punishment should be made in public. Let it be inflicted in the presence of thousardis• at the old place of execution, by the common hangman ; let the miserable victims of morbid notoriety have, their fill of it in this manner, once, twice, or thrice, as cir custances may require, ;Ad then be banished from the land they have made a bye.word 'among the na tions. All pity for such men becomes extinguished, when we reflect on the anguish which the QUEEN must suf fer, who of all Sovereigns on earth is the most innocent and most ardently attached to her people, and yet is ha rassed and attacked by her own subjects as if she were the most hatefulof,tyrants. The Bill on Tuesday could have been passed by acclamation, so cordially did it meet the views of every Member, but the Government pru dently preferred the usual course. It went through Committee last night with a few alterations, was read a third time, and passed. It will proceed at the same ra pid rate through the House of Lords, and in a few days become the law of the laud. The readers of The Sun can bear testimony to the fact, that the cause of general education has had few more zealous and untiring advocates among the public Press than this Journal. When it was first proposed by the late Government to grant a pittance of 30,0001. a-year for the education of the people—a proposal stre nuously resisted by the whole of the Tory faction now in ofsce—we pointed out the notorious inadequacy of such a sum for such a purpose ; and called the attention of the then Chancellor of the Exchequer to the shame- lessness of voting 70,0001. for Royal stable., and only 30,0001. for the education of millions of her Majesty's British and Irish subjects. We premise these remarks to prevent the astonishment which we have to express at the conduct of the House of Lords last night fro.n being misunderstood, or as indicating on our part any lukewarmness on the great subject of general education: Lord WHARNCLIFFE presented a petition from Mr HuLLAR's singing classes in Exeter Hall. or ganised under the direction of the Committee of Education of the Privy Council, praying that they might be allowed to participate in the Educer tion grant—a prayer which his Lordship, the Earl of LANSDOWNE, and Lord BROUGHAM, cordially supported, and in which the House, without a dissentient voice, concurred. Nov,, with the highest respect for Mr. lIITLLAn's great abilities as a musician and a teaeher of music—with the fullest conviction of the humanising influence or that divine science upon the minds of the people generally, we cannot but regret the inappropriate as the time chosen for bringing the question of musical science before the House of Lords. It can not but increase the public indignation at tl:e conduct of that House on the preceding night, when the subject of discussion was not singing, but starvation. There are hard-hearted people who never relieve mendicants who cannot give expression to their miseries musically— in some touching street ditty or other—and the Lor,:s are perfectly willing to qualify the starving millions to work upon the benevolent feelings of this numerous class of pauper supporters. They are to be made as musical in their miseries as distracted lovers in an opera. For the appointment of a Select Committee to inquire into a state of general, appalling distress, jeopardizing the health, the morals, and the lives of mil lions of the poor, only 14 votes were given in the House one iof irls'enstoinary lies,ealls the Royai assent, is nothing in tb .e world bat the assent of the oligarqs and innnopolia s, who, by dint 'of bribery, corruption, and intiinidatiolt, have for the season taken possession of the functions o f the Government‘ It is nothing more than the assent fof Land, Church, Sugar, and Co., signified in the usurped name of the QUEEN by those who, being her, and, for our sins, our masters, are falsely called her Ministers, We Anti in the Votes of the House of Commons of the night befot'e last, great reason to be thankful for having already been enabled to blunt the • point of the libelS which the Tory Ministers are eteitinuaq heaping on the qvgrw, WWI the people are actually starving— when they dig up and beg rotten carrion for food— when those Ministers have refused them all aid and relief, ex cept that which degrades them to mendicants, and makes them seem to hold their lives at the mercy of those who feed them, we find it asserted in the Votes 4 1 9 t 114 4:4;iigi t bv ree2799ld?cl grant c , -f vaintY to MA* OP T 4 ,11t qqcf cam e'laAsei Moting at EAeter Hall to enjoy the Leneiit o' Lk instruction..

What more touching in an opera than a ragged beggar channting his woes at • some Prince's gate in strains worthy a WILSON pouring forth that most heart -thrilling and pathetic of BURN'S immortal ballads ; " wearing awa, Jean ?" We again repeat, that we are as cordial supporters of general education as any Peer in Parliament, and that too high praise cannot be bestowed upon Mr. HULLAII'S excellent system of.musical education ; but the time chosen by the House of Lords for granting money to support it, is indicative of the greatest callosity of feeling, and hard ness of heart, towards millions of our industrious fami4.ll, ing fellow-subjects. An express from "'aria taxf,),awaa us that the new Chaml. 7 . r o P 4kintiles will wear pretty much the emplexicin of the old. In the depASment of the Seine, where the fortifications have iatlised a war like spirit into the electors, Ministers lave been defeated; but in the remote provinces, 'here no ramparts are to be found, the Cabinet has achieved a victory over the Tuu..us' party. The only decided gainers are the Legi timists, and they will not coalesce with the Rupublicans. Nevertheless, the result will shake the GDIZOT adminis tration. A letter from Brest says—" His Majesty's corvette, - the Adour, Captain Touboulie, from the Antilles, arrived in the road of Brest on the 7th inst., at nine in the morning..

It brings home 119 soldiers and sailors as passengers, among whom there is a great many sick. " At the time when the Adour left, the sanatory state of the colonies was improving. The yellow fever had ceased to be epidemic in Martinique and Guadeloupe. The crews of the Chips on that station were in excellent health. "At Fort Royal, besides the vessels belonging to the local station, there were the Nereicle &late, and the Alerte brig; at Besse Terre only the Jouvineille schooner," A letter from Leghorn at the 30th of June says— ,t The ;lay before yesterday we saw on the offing the French squadron under the command of Admiral Hujon, consisting of twelve sail.

" Who runs may read." roziGN. There is little l oss or gain n in the French elections. The only gainers are the Legitimist party, and they are likely to support the Ministry. Of the result of 336 elections known in Paris on Monday afternoon a majority of ele were Alinisterial. The Opposition papers of Alunday are in ecstaciee with the result. Al. Miens' organ, the Constitutionnel, exelainis rap• turously—" The. electors of- the department of the Seine have replied walla to the appeal which has Just been made by the Crown to the country. Twelve colleges out of fourteen have Made their returns ; ten of them are for the Opposition. All the old Deputies who declared themselves against the Ministry have been re-elected. In 1639, the Oppoation obtained in the elections for the Seine, a total advantage ef1,,647 votes. It has now a majority of 2,891. It is thus that the electors of Paris have expressed their opinions as to the dispute between the Ministry and the Opposition." The Courrier Francais says—" The electors of Paris have nobly answered the appeal of the country, and have given a great example to France. Not only almost all the Deputies of the metropolis were Opposition candidates, but the Opposition has seen its majorities increasing, whilst, on the other hand, the Ministerial candidates have been either altogether aban doned, or have seen their best triends drop off from t..em in vast numbers. Three years have been eutlicient to effect this im poi tent change —three years of an unpopular and anti-national Ministry have considerably increased in Paris the Opposition forces. The political grand jury of Pat has pronounced a solemn verdict against the Ministry; the electors, with their hands on their conscience, before God and before men, have inaieted on the Ministry an irrevocable condemna,ion." We read in the National—" 'I he victory is complete, de cisive, and tar exceeding our hopes. The whole country will thank the capital ten having shown itelf worthy of its tame. Whatever may be the general result of the elector al ballots, the city of inteliigence—the city where the Government it•elt holds its seat--the place where persons can see most clearly the morality of public men and the working of the system — the spot, in fine, where all grand questions are decided—Paris, where the great mass of the electors escape corruption, has pro nounced its solemn judgment, anti the Al 'nisiry of For, ign Powers has been struck to the heart—its course is run. This wretched Cabinet, which for two years has b een oterwhelm bag France with horotliations and insuits—which knew nit how to protect any tease of interests, respreted no liberty, awakened all the reactionary enactments—this Cabinet tiVategi to stupid calumnies to deceive the intgent populetian of Pars. The result has been its defeat, as no altaistry has been i defeated since 1830." The Quotidienne . I.„as the following:—" It is the a revearat opinion to-day elitat M. Guizot is a dead man, absoltetely de funct. Nome person s assert that he was so beforo tke election, and perhaps the Conservative candidates were weevily informed of the fact. At least it is cm fain that t, .y. ail disavoseed him befere the electers, and in the preeaeatory meetings, circulare, and professsons of Unto ne aexaon would be Ministerial," The Debuts doel. tine attempt to conceal that the rettit of the Paris elections is not such as the Conservative Tarty had poi ed for, but it finds consolation in the fact that the old Con iervative majority has nut }et sustained my toss upon the total of the elections known, " The reaedie of the Paris elections (says the Debuts) will, lei dmeles, produce tries of joy from the Opposition Journals. We are the eery first to acknowledge that this result heeenat answered our expectations. The Con servate any baa lost two votes in Paris, and into at Etampes, ;Anil this is the whole extent of their loss, Hut we see at the same time that they have patted three votes on the total of the returns of the deitarttacetts as yet known.

VARIITADIMICTART. The Lords did not meet yesterday. • Mr. Mackinnon postponed in the Commons his motion to issue a writ for Southampton to the alth instent. In reply to Mr. Grimsditch the Chancellor of the Exchequer said the Exchequer Bill Commission had sat four %seeks, and had eaamined 190 witnesses, and the inquiry, he believed, was drawhig to a close. On the motion for the }P"duse to go into a Committee on the Queen's Protection 1 .:;11, Mr. Hume thou g ht t h e mot i on was for a Committee of Supply, and made an attack on the expen diture of the Court, which was unseemly on that occasion. The Hun t Gentleman apologised for his mistake, leaving the truth of his observations untouched. The Bill for her Majesty's protection went through Com mittee, and in the coui re of the evening was read a third time and passed. In reply to Lord Palmerston, Sir J. Graham said he had no doubt that Lord Wharncliffe's declaration of neutrality on the Collieries Bill applied only to its details. In reply to Mr. Hawes, Sir Robert Peel said the Govern ment did not intend to make a grant for extending the Church, and to-day he is to explain the course which the Government will take on Sir Robert Inglis's motion. The House was emplayed fir the greater part of the evening in voting Fusee - alai, and a considerable portion of that pleasant letesinessexae p aformed. Mr. Hume was at his post, and dili gently endeavoured, but without success, to resist a few extra vagant votes. The House adjourned at a Quarter to Two. te Setae OPIATMOItii. The Herglci says of the recent debates in the House of Commons on the subject of national distress --" It is indeed quite impossible for any conscientious man to rise from an at tentive perusal of the recent debates withon' vexation of spirit —without coming to the conclusion that, if human - wisdom have to emancipate this country from its present din serous and dangerous condition, such wisdom is not yet patent to she nation, aid that the necessities of the times remand a States man such as we have net. The country yearns fir a great Minister; and it is because of the immeasureable superiority of Sir Robert Peel over his opponents that. the country clings to the present Premier. Sir Robert Peel would be a great Minister in tranquil and prosperous times ; it remains to be seen whether he will be a successful Minister in ' days of unparalleled difficulty and devastating (-eternity ; whether he can rise to the en ergency into which come mereial disaster and political misrule have plunged the country. The Minister of England is held accomitable—too matter with what measure of justice—for the national prosperity or adver sity which accompanies his Administration; and if he cannot remedy distress and relieve suffering, his reputation suffers and confidence in his capacity is shaken. No man knows this better than Sir Robert Peel, and his knowledge thereof is the best assurance the countra , can hare, that if he sees any broad, wholesome, enlarged, or permanent means of reviving pros perity, he will, at all sacrifices of party, at all risks of hostility, careless of offence, and resolute in good intent, summon toge ther the Legislature, if a deficient harvest should be added to our present misfortunes, and propound any plans which tranquil reflection may suggest. after the prorogation of the . present session," The Times says—," The attempt of Ministers to persevere in carrying through the Poor-law Continuance Bill in its present shape (if, indeed, that attempt is seriously to be made, which we very much doubt) cannot he too much regretted. It will fail of its object, and its only result will be to embarrass the Government, exasperate the people, and organize into syste matic action those obstructive tendencies which have of late shown themselves with so much activity in the House of Com mons.. We speak now, not in the character (which we shall always most strenuously mantain) of opponents of the New Poor-law, but as well-wishers to the peace and good order ol the community, as friends, uporethe whole, to the Conservative Government, and as enemies to every disturbance of the settled order of Parliamentary proceedings. Were we to reeard the mat ter as mere factious opponents of the New Poor-law, we should say, let Sir Robert Peel go on by all means ; let him run his head against this millstone; let him weary out Ws Menai, and the country by an idle endeaveur to do what in tae nature of things cannot be done ; let him propose this new concessien to the Somerset-house tyranny at a time and under ei rcum . stances which giye us tha leesi possible chance of defeating i,t ) let him injure himself and the cause he patronizes by I.4al ate ing for it in so indecent a manner as to product~eeeirg the poor the feeling- of insult as well as th a t o f di sappo i ntment. But these are lengths to which we canna go; we should grieve to carry our point at so unnea ssary an expense of character to the Conservative lareniier. We shall be far better content to gee him, deliberately and of his own free judgment, defer the consideration of this subject till a period when there will be time and opportunity to do it justice, even though ho may then enter the field against us with a greatei wiainty of success." The Post, after taking laohert Peel gravely to task for his politeness towards his political opponents, goes on to ob serve—" Notwahstanding the urbanity of the Minister to the mob calling itself the Anti-Corn-law League, which did him the honour to call upon him on Saturday—notoahstand ing his thanks to that mob for the representations, which it matte to him concerning the distrees—,wo can scarcely doubt that the Minister was by no means in want cf any information which that mob could afford, and that he thought its visit ra ther intrusive than otherwise. It is said there is no d sputing about tastes, but, as a matter of judgment, we must presume to doubt that any advantage whatever arose from the reception by Sir R. Peel ef the mob calling itself the Anti• Corn-law Li ague. The manners of the no,b—judging from the reports ip the newspapers of what; it said—were rather familiar and Konsive, a d— considering what was notorious of its proceed.. ings—we think scar ely anything else could have been expected. We humbly submit that if such a body as this Leapt.' weee not to be treated with stern contempt (which is the eonese OF which we should have most approved): It certainly wor• n o t worthy of being received by the Minister, and attentively heard by h'111•9 We Mae the following from the Chronicle:—" It is a very. odd idea, which the Duke of Wellington seems to entertain, that the evidence collected by the Commission of Inquiry into the employment of children in mines and collieries, would awe I been improved had it been takes upon na , h.

THE HAGUE, JULY 11.—The session of the States- Qeneral was closed to-day by his Excellency the Mi nister of the Interior with the following speech:— " NOBLE AND MIGHTY LORDS— " The affairs which have been intrusted to your con sideration during this session are now terminated. " cqn§tantly relying on your readiness to co-operate in promotin g the interest of the country, and aiming at the improvem'nt of the several branches of the administra tion, the Government has successively laid before you some important projects of law. You have gladly given your assent to the intended marriage of her Royal High ness Princess Wilbelmina Maria Sophia Louisa of the Netherlands, to his Royal Highness the Hereditary Grand Duke Charles Alexander Augustin John, son of his ROyal Highness the Grand Duke of Saxe Wiemar Eirenach. 4 law fixing the expenses of the Department of Fo reign Affairs, completed the Budget for this year and next. " The transfer of the register of mortgages effected be fore the instructions of the civil code has been regulated in a satisfactory manner. " Provision is made for the wants of the home colonies for the current year. The public' credit has been supported by the pay ment of part of the foreign l'yndleate. " Tho French law on the National office has been re placed by an originally Dutch law,' and another step has been taken in the consolidation of our national legislation." 'His Excellency then mentioned several points of law which had not been agreed to by the Second Chamber, such as that on civil pensions, and that on the appli eation of the surplus re venue o f the East India colonies.) He then added, " A considerable portion of the fresh code would have been laid before you during this session, had not the appointment of a new Minister of Justice prevented its being completed in time. As the other affair has terminated, and the season is so far advanced, it has been thought that it would be best to defer this matter till the next session. " After the important political, events of these latter times, fizctuation of opinion has arisen, which .in a sedate nation like ours, will gradually give way to a regular course of things, and to a %veil-considered ad vance towards the common object. The preceding ses sion was the commencement of a new political era, The present session has been characterised, in the midst of the operations above alluded to, by the preparations of enactments, which are the result of our public laws. " Strong in the pursuit of purposes, and in the inde fatigrble zeal with which we desire to promote the wel fare of the eonntry i we may look forward with confidence to the future. "In the name of the King, f declare this ordinary session of the States-General closed." The Chamber then broke up. BELGIAN .UNDa—Bßussns, it/LT S.
