TORY DEFECTION.—It is currently reported on 'Change that three or four commercial M.P.s, staunch supporters of Tory principles and old monopolies, have declared to their friends their determination to a vote against any of the forthcoming fiscal changes which shall endanger the present protective colonial system. Their own interest in the West Indies and Mauritius, together with their known independence and consistency, render the probable defection the more likely. It is also alleged that their political chiefs have much disgusted them by the indifference shown to their remonstrances. Rut self-preservation is one of the strongest and most pardonable of ' our natural infirmities. A new arrangement has been made for the Northern Circuit, by which the Assizes for this town are ap pointed to be holden a month later than was at first announced, and the Circuit has been divided so that only one Judge ( Sir W. Wightman) will attend the northern pottion of it, as fol lows:—Lancaster, February 26 ; Westmoreland, March 9; Cumberland, March 12; Newcastle and Northumberland, M arc h 18 ; and Durham, March 29. Baron Rolfe and Ser geant Atcherley take York and Liverpool, the former to com mence on the Ist and the latter on the 22d of March. This change may be for the better, but it cannot possibly be for the worse. It is splitting the Northern Circuit into two ; and we trust it will have the effect of preventing the haste and bustle which has distinguished our Assize' for some years. No one will doubt the propriety of a change who recollects that a num ber of cases were regularly left untried at a ruinous expense to suitors.— Tyne Mercury, THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1842 ANTI-CORN-LAW CONFERENCE AND THE GOVERNMENT MEASURE. HALF-PAST SEVEN. The Delegates walked, about GOO in number, to the gates of the House of Commons. Only 100 obtained admittance ; the others were locked out. Those who had gained admission waited till the close of Sir R. Peel's speech, and then adjourned to Brown's Coffee house, and, after serious deliberation, judged they ought to express their opinion, as follows : " At an adjourned meeting of the Anti-Corn-law Deputies, held at Brown's Hotel, Palace-yard, at half past seven this evening—Resolved unanimously— " That, in the opinion of this meeting, the measure just announced by her Majesty's Government, on the subject of th.t Corn-laws, so far from holding out the slightest prospect of any relief of the distress of the cou n t r y, i s an i nsu lt t o a pat i en t and suf fering people; and the Deputies view such a proposal as an indication that the landed aristocracy of this coun try are destitute of all sympathy for the poor, and are resolved, if permitted by an outraged people, to persist in a course of selfish policy, which will involve the de struction of every interest in the country. " DUNCAN APLAREN, Chairman." Palace-yard, London, Wednesday Night, Nine o'Clock. At a second Adjourned Meeting of the Members of Conference at Brown's Hotel, at nine o'clock, P.M., the Deputies took into consideration the course which should be pursued in the present position of the question, and unanimously adopted the following Resolutions, as ex pressive of their opinions, and agreed to recommend them to the sanction of the General Conference : " That the Deputies now present having further de liberately considered the proposition of her Majesty's Government on the subject of the Corn-laws, this even ing announced in the House of Commons, deem it their duty, on their own behalf, and in the name of their constituents, to record their emphatic condemnation of it, and their solemn protest against it, as a total denial of the just demand of the people of this country, and as evincing a determination to perpetuate an oppressive and unrighteous system, together with all the essential evils which have hitherto resulted from the operation of the existing Corn-laws." " That the Anti-Corn-law Associations throughout the United Kingdom, and all other friends to an immediate and total abolition of all duties and restrictions upon the necessary food of the people, are earnestly requested to take measures .for expressing, without delay, in every constitutional manner, their hostility to the proposed measure of her Majesty's Government, and their fixed and unalterable determination not to relax in their ex ertions, until a measure of complete justice is obtained ; and to consent to no compromise of the sacred prin ciple upon which the agitation for the abolition of the Corn-laws is based." " That to the end that every available support may be given to Mr. Villiers in his intended resolution for the total and immediate Repeal of the Corn and Provision laws, the Deputies recommend that all petitions be for warded immediately for presentation, and that any pre tests or resolutions calculated to sustain the Deputation in the approaching contest, may be forwarded to the Office of the Metropolitan Anti-Corn-law Association, 448, Strand, London." " That it is desirable that these Resolutions be imme diately published in the Provincial Papers, and that the Committees of Anti-Corn-law. Associations be re- • quested to take measures to effect that object." SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM TEE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—The eventful day, big with the flute of the country, and probably of the Cabinet, has at length dawned. Sir Robert Peel will to-night propound his long-looked-for plan for relieving the commercial and manufacturing classes from the pressure produced by ex isting fiscal restrictions, and especially by the insane and cruel Corn-laws, upon their energies. The impedi ments to their enterprising efforts, by which alone they can be prosecuted with success, are to be removed. This achievement, we are told, is to be effected. At the same time the agricultural interests are to be satis fied, and their monopoly, protected by the " sliding scale," is to bo retained ! That the Premier's theory is to embrace these objects, as we have here stated them, is obvious, from the allusion, in the nature of a puff pre liminary, which he, in his own person, made last night. There was an evident necessity laid upon him to quiet the feverish disposition to an open rupture, which was sufficiently present among his supporters, in the sym pathy expressed by several Members on the Ministerial benches with the remarks of Mr. George Palmer, one of the Members for South Essex, on the pro posed alteration in the duties on Colonial timber, which are essentially the same with those proposed by the late Government. "He (Mr. P.) wished it to be distinctly understood, that he had not changed his opinion with respect to the measure, though he had changed his seat from one side of the House to the other." Lord John Russell having expressed his general approval of the measure, it became the more necessary for Sir R. Peel to remove the impression which was evi dently deepening and extending itself. He thereupon said : He trusted that the House would not attempt to draw in ferences with respect to the other portions of the commercial policy of the Government from this measure, but that it would wait until the other measures were brought firward. lie should to-morrow introduce one of the most important of them, and he would take the earliest opportunity of pursuing the game course with respect to others. He trusted that the har mony which had hitherto prevailed with respect to this subject would not be disturbed. He would only add, that he did not think that the Noble Lord would taunt him with adopting all his views and measures, when he had heard his (Sir ft. Peel's) proposition to relieve the country from the great financial em barrassments under which it now laboured." This announcement was hailed with 4' cheers" from the somewhat discontented adherents to the Premier. Even the Duke of Buckingham's band of Cori -law champions, whose obligations to the patron for their seats bind them to support his views, and to resist any substantial change in the system to which the land owners are generally and strongly attached, and to evince his devotion to which his Grace has 'seceded from the Cabinet— even these joined in the " cheers." COURIER. —The morning press leader of the Anti- Corn-law crew has not hesitated to assert that the Con servative party long denied the existence of great dis tress in the country, which is falsehood the first, inas much as that distress was never questioned in any quarter, although on more than one occasion its wilful and mali cious exaggeration, and in sonic instances, its pure invention, by the Radical 'speakers and papers, were justly held up to opprobrium and ridicule. Falsehood the secon d i s , the hardy statement that the distress (never denied) is now for the first time admitted ; and falsehood third—the crowning lie of all—imputes to the Government and the Conservative party the broad unre served admission, the extraordinary apostacy of opinion, that the present Corn-laws are the cause of the present distress. The Conservatives can well afford to deal with, and dismiss at once, these various atrocious fabri cations almost in one word—they are each and all devoid of truth as their makers of common honesty. STANDARD.—The proceedings of the House of Commons last night are calculated to exercise an in fluence upon the interests of the empire far more exten sive and beneficial than might be expected from the modest and unpretending manner in which the Mi nisterial measures, forming the groundwork of these proceedings, were introduced. First, in real tempo ral importance, as well as in the sacred cha racter of its objects, is Lord Stanley's proposed Bill for multiplyin g th e means o f re li g i ous i nstruction in. the West Indies. " Religious sympathy," says M. Lamar tine, in his interesting Travels, "is the only sure bond of political union, the only solid basis of national strength. Were the Christians of the Levant united, they would constitute a mighty empire." Attach the British colonies to the metropolitan State by a bona fide par ticipation in the national religion, and you will build up an empire inseparable and irresistible—an empire which in its progress will contribute to your preaperity and wealth, as in its completion it must place your security beyond the reach of danger. Civilisation, and the tastes ever attend upon religious improvement ; awl for innocent luxury inseparable &DM civilisation, what ever may be the fate of British trade with foreigners, an ample compensation will, by civilisa sation, be ensured to her in her own colonies. The next measure proposed by Mr. Gladiitone, is a happy accompaniment to the foregoing, pointing in thi same direction ; it is a Bill for relieving . the colonies from all imposts which can be truly regarded a s either burthensome or vexatious—a fair and full application of' the principles laid down in the Colonial Act of 1778—the principle that no impost shall be toe posed by any authority, save the local Legislature, for the sake of revenue, or for any other purpose but the regulation of commerce. Wo have not room to particularise the number of cases to which this principle is to be applied, And. it is unnecessary, for few will deny themselves the gratification of reading Mr. Gladstone 's speech; but it is enough to say, that the application will be universal a recognition of the rights of the colonists which will flatter their just pride and command their gratitude, while the practical effect of the concession must infinitely promote their pros perity. If we were at liberty to indulge our s el ves , we could say much upon the glorious consequences which, humanly speaking, must necessarily follow the measures referred to ; but we cats scarcely hope that many will adopt our views of any measures that do not promise immediate results ; for the seeds of what is great in social policy, as in nature, are almost always sown in obscurity and comparatively slow to germinate ; and, besides, the public has other objects of more urgent attraction, to engage its notice. On Monday last, a noble ship of 600 tons bur then, was launched by Thomas Swift, Esq., from his ship 3ard, at Brockweir. She was christened " Jeremiah Jar rett," by the lady of the Rev. Mr, West, Moravian minister, of the place, and went off in gallant style. This-is the largest vessel ever b u ilt IV the Wye, above Chepstow-bridge; she has been purchased by a h o us e at Liverpool, and is destined for China.—Monmouthshire Merlin.

There is no do u bt i t was the work of an incendiary, 0 . Irilird has been offered f or th e o ff en d ers.— ?Sunderland Herald. - Some friend; of mine said they were quite certain that the de bentures would come out at a great premium, but we said that if they yielded 100 r er cent. profit we would have nothing to do with them. We stand on the principle of having no desire to make money by the concern, and I hope we stand ex cused, although the course we have taken, in some instances, may not have been acceptalle. For those who have sufkred in their fortunes; according to their investments, I feel sorry, and I should feel equally sorry at any postponement of any thing that was advantageous to them. I have no wish to say anything to give offence, and I hope that nothing I have said will bear that interpretation. Mr. RATHBONE—I think that if the Honourable Proprietor had not been very little acquainted with railways, he would have known that such a doubt as that he has expressed with reference to the declaration of a dividend, could not have been entertained. There has been hardly any Company that has been able to carry out its entire object without making a divi dend. It is the practice of all railways in England, and I hope the Honourable Proprietor will satisfy him self on that point. Nothing has so much impeded the progress of this railway as those vexatious and harrassing le ' proceedings with which we ha ve b een connected, but which have turned out contemptously and unsuccessfully to the parties bringing them forward, in every Court of Law to which they have been carried.—(Cheers.) he'l resolution was then put and carried unanimously. It was then agreed that the following Gentlemen, viz. Samuel Aralersta,, Esq. ; Robert Crosbie, Esq. ; Robt, Mather, Esq. ; and Theodore W. Rathbone, Esq., be re-elected Direc tors of tie Company. Mr. CATCHPOLE (Colchester), asked if the site of the sta tion at Colchester had b e en fi x ed up o n? Mr. BRAITHWAITE replied that there was no intention of crossing the North River. Mr. CATCHPOLE then stated that a meeting of the inhabi tants of Colchester was about to be held on the subject, and he wished to know whether, in the event of a deputation from the Board of Directors being invited to attend that meeting, the request would be granted? Mr. BRAITHWAITE replied that the question had been mooted several times, and he had, he thought, said sufficient to show the impracticability of carrying out that object. With respect to the North Bridge, Colchester, there had been for some years a great difficulty, amounting almost to an im possibility, of raising . the amount of 2,000/. to put it into a state of repair. Now it would cost 230,000/. to carry the railway over the bridge; and if so much difficulty oxisted as to the raising 2,0001., how was it likely that the greater sum of 230,0001 could be raised ? It would not be long before the railway would be carried to Harwich, and that would be suffi cient to supply the town of Colchester, the terminus being at Harwich. Mr. CATCHPOLE—Then, if such a requisition was to come from the meeting, it would not be entertained by the Board ? Mr. BRAITHWAITE—I shall be happy to attend and give any information in my power if it is the wish of the Directors. CHAIRSIAN—It will be our wish also.—(Cheers.) Mr. STOKES said, that on two of the contracts close to Col chester, he understood, from information he could not doubt, there was a system adopted of paying the labourers by tickets. Mr. Braithwaite, on being informed of it, had given notice for it to be discontinued, but he (Mr. Stokes) had been assured than no longer ago than last week the practise had been con tinued, and the workmen thereby deprived of one-fifth part of their wages, the consequence of which was, that the good workmen became disgusted and dissatisfied. He wished to know whether the practice was continued with the knowledge and approbation of the Directors ? Mr. BRAITHWAITE regretted in common with the Honour able Proprietor that the practice he complained of did exist, but he had done everything he possibly could to suppress it, by bringing the parties forward, and exposing them before the Magistrates. He was sorry to sa y th a t t h e Directors had not the power of putting the system down, owing, he feared, to the deficiency. of the law. On that point there had been a correspondence with the Home Secretary, but it still appeared that the law was inadequate. When the parties were taken be for the Magistrates for punishment, all that could be ob tained from the the Justices was, " Gentlemen, we do not see how we can interfere." Mr. STOKES-4 regret the Directors have not the power of stopping this most iniquitous practice, which is doing great injury to the Company. Mr. BRAITHWAITE—There is no contractor who is not bound by most stringent clauses not to practise such a system. Mr. SroK ES—Then why do you not interfere ? Mr. BRAITHWAITE—W e have dismissed the parties, and taken them before Magistrates. Mr. SToKys—Will you dismiss the contractors? Mr. BRAITHWAITE—DecidedIy so, if we trace it to the contractors. The CuA TAMAN—We have done all we can. Mr. RATILBONE—If the Magistrates say there is no law to stop it, what are we to do ? In reply to a question from Mr. Wilkes, Mr. C•PLAND said the tithe due to the parish of Shenfield had been paid, and that none had been paid to the parish of Springfield, because none was due. A vote of thanks was then unanimously awarded to the Chairman and Directors, and it having been acknowledged by the Chairman, the meeting separated. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Feb. 9. IN RE HILL ♦ND BROOKES. It will be recollected that on the last examination of these bank rupts, proof was tendered by Mr. Rees, on the part of Messrs. Nicholson, Messrs. Nix, and others, upon five bills of exchange accepted or endorsed by the bankrupts. On that occasion Mr. Kearsley objected, on the testimony of the bankrupts, to some ex tent .corrobarated by Mr. Maise (recently a bankrupt), that the bills were accepted er endorsed solely fur the accommodation of that person, without any consideration ; and next, and principally, the bills were illegal, having been drawn on un stamped paper rn England, and dated as if drawn in Guernsey. It was argued in support of the bills that although there was no probable evidence that the drawer was in London at the date of the bills, that was not proof that they were drawn on the day of their date, and that the onus was on the objectors to prove the af firmative that they were drawn in England. It appeared also that there existed no such firm as Douglas and Company, Guern sey, confectioners, whose names appeared as drawers; that the house under their name was that of Maise, who also wrote the signatures and endorsements. Mr. Commissioner FA Ahs gave judgment. lie said the question in this case is, whether the bills were drawn in Guernsey or in Eng land. The bills are unstamped, and if they were drawn in Eng land, that would be a fraud on the revenue. and they could not be received in evidence in any Court of Justice in this country. The slate of a bill of exchange is prima facie evidence of the day on which it was drawn, and therefore it lies upon the parties who claim upon these bills to prove that they were not drawn at the dates they bear, and that they were drawn in Guernsey. The bills are drawn in the name of Robert Douglas and Co., and it is proved by Mr. Maise that there were no sach+eisons, and that he both drew and accepted the bills. The Solicitor who put in this claim called Mr. Glegg, who was clerk to Maise before his bankruptcy, and, indeed, he was not a witness very anxious to give evidence against his employer, but his evidence has convinced me that Maise was not in Guernsey on the day of the date; and if the holders thought it would serve them to show that the drawing took place on a different day and in that place, it was for them to prove it. 1 The gentleman who appeared for those creditors cited the decision of Lord Ellenborough in the case of Abrahams v. Dubois, when his Lordship was of opinion that the objectors were bound to prove that the bill was drawn in England. But that was a nisi prius decision, and cannot be supported. Ido not think it ought to go vern me in this case. If the person who draws a bill is proved to be in London on the day of its date, no rational person can suppose that it ie drawn in Paris, or In Guernsey. if the mere writing the name of a foreign place on a bill was sufficient, there would be plenty of foreign bills drawn in London on unstamped paper. The case of Byning v. Moroe (2d Carrington) put the matter in the proper light. If the bills in question were really drawn in Guernsey, the holders could find plenty of proof. But it rests with my conscience to say whetber the evidence satisfies me that they were so; and as, on the contrary, I atn satisfied that they were drawn in London, I must reject the claim. Mr. Hobson, the principal creditor, complained to his Honour of the manner in which the balance sheet was made up. The offi cial assignee had, in the course of the day, discovered several in. accuracies in it, and even erasures in the books; and he (Mr. Hob. son) applied to his Honour to allow him an opportunity of examin. ing tin in thoroughly, before the bankrupts passed. M. Commissioner EVANS said that Mr. Hobson should have every facility in ascertaining the truth of every particular; and he (Mr. Commissioner Evans) saw some things in the balance sheet which required explanation, such as a claim of 1,3104 from the father of one of the benkrupts. Atter some discussion, the case was adjourned till this day week, the friends of the bankrupts undertaking to pay the expenses of a meeting. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian.) We regret to have to report, without any immediate prospect of amendment, the same flatness in demand, both for goods and yarns, which has so long prevailed in our market. Perhaps the feeling was rendered somewhat more depressed by the un favourable news from India. Wo believe the commercial accounts from Calcutta were anticipated to be pretty good ; but the private letters have not yet come to hand. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, FEB. 7. There has been another dull market to-day, and the sales have been limited. Those who have purchased have obtained them to •day at reduced prices. There is no change in the woo market. HUDDERSFIELD MARKET, Fsts. B.—The same misera ble tale must still be told of the state of trade in this market. Not a sympton of improvement was seen to day. In short, it was truly a bad market in every respect, without a prospect, or almost the hope, of improvement Prices are nominal and the demand accidental. All is a lot tery, with few prizes. Warehouse business is little if anything better, excepting in a kW' instances. The Duke d'Auinale has given a prize of for the Nantes races of the present year. ACCIDENT TO THE BRIGHTON MAIL.,—.The Brighton clown t tail, mi arriving at Preston, about a mile and a half from Brighton, .yesterday morning, met with a serious accident. While proceeding at the usual speed, one of the horses suddenly dropped down dead 1 two of the other horses were thrown down in ppequence ; the splinter-bar broke, and bgth the poacliman and guard r ece i ve d some damage, by being thrown from their seats. SUICIDE.—About half-past seven o'clock on Tuesday morning, as some labourers were passing along the road to the eastward of Duddingstone, they observed a man hanging by the neck to the branch of a tree in a field, a short distance from the road. They immediately proceeded to the spot and took him down, when they found that life was quite extinct. It is supposed that the unfor tunate man had got on the top of a dyke under the tree, and having fastened the rope to the branch, threw himself off. The following delcription may perhaps lead to the identity:— He appeared 26 years old, b feet 7 high, ro un d f ace , li g ht h a i r , and whiskers, and hazel eyes. He was dressed in an old black coat and vest, moleskin trousers, a blue Glengarry bonnet, and had a Guernsey frock over his clothes. The deceased, iu whose pockets were only found a tobacoc pipe and a penknife, had the appearance of a mechanic.—Scotsman. THE QUEEN V. LORD ASHBURTON AND OTHERS.—It has been already stated, that on Thursday after noon, just before the breaking up of the Grand Jary, is bill for conspiracy against Lord Ashburton and three others, was re turned to the Central Criminal Court. Since that time up to Monday, the bill remained in the office, and no application was made qr 4 behalf of the prosecutors for the usual certificate of the Court of the finding of the bill, upon which, in ordinary cases, the defendants, under such circumstances, are called upon to find bail. On Monday an application was made • on behalf of the Noble Lord, to Mr. Justice Patteson, for a wit of certio rari, to remove the indictment from the Central Court to the Queen's Bench, and the fertiorariw4s ac cor di ng l y issued ; and the case, if ever it should come to trial, w ill consequently be ' disposed of in that Court. The amount of bail fixed by the Learned Judge was a recognizance of 500/, for each of the principals, with two sureties of 250/. each. M R .

MARKET INTELLIGENCE. ( From the London New Price Currant of February 8.) Sucaa.-There has been an increased disinclination on the part of the trade to operate in West India Sugar since this day week, and the market has been in a very dull state, both grocers and refiners purchasing with much caution, and only 150 hhds and tierces have been disposed of during the three market da . )s, although importers have submitted to a reduction of Is 6d to 2s per cwt for all descriptions ; the trifling quan tity sold may be principally ascribed to the Trade being enabled to supply their wants with other sorts of Sugar on more ad vantageous terms. The arrivals have been trifling since this day week. The quantity imported this year has been rather less than in 1841. The stock held by the Merchants is small. To-day the market for all descriptions of Raw Sugar pre sented a flat appearance, the Trade having for the most part ceased to operate, in consequence of its being expected that Government will make known their intentions in the course of the week as to the measures they intend to adopt with re spect to Foreign Sugar. The purchases in West India are net worth enumerating, and the public sales of Mauritius and Bengal were postponed. IiEFIMD.-The home trade has operated with caution in Refined goods since our last report. Refiners have sub mitted to a reduction on last Tuesday's rates of is 6d to 2s per cwt. Standard lumps at 79s to 79s 6d, brown lumps 72s to 78s, Tittlers, ord 78s to 795, mid to fine 80s to 90s, Hambro' l oaves co 79s to 81s, m id to fi ne 82s, to 925, and double in loaves 98s to 116 s per cwt. Treacle common at 27s to 27s 6d, patent, 28s to 30., golden Syrup 31s to 32s per cwt, being rather cheaper. Pieces low to mid at 61s to 68s, good to fine ti9s to 72s per cwt. Bastards, common 40s to 445, mid to good 45s to 535, fine 54s to 585 per cwt. For bonded crushed Sugar prices are rather lower, 28s 9d to 29s having been accepted for first sort; loaves at 3ls to 33s for 101bs and 141bs. Treacle at 12s to 12s 3d per cwt. Bastards and Pieces at 14s 6d to 23s per cwt. Dutch Crushed Sugar at 27s on board for the best. To-day the demand was dull for refined goods, and 78s 6d to 79s the value of standard lumps; Bonded Crushed 28S 9d per cwt. MAuerrius.-Prices have further given way Is. per cwt ; at auction 6,726 bags have been offered, a small proportion only of which found purchasers ; at and after the sales, fine bright yellow went at 67s to 6956 d, good 64, to 665, mid 62s to 63s 6d, low 60s to 61s per cwt. EAST IfiniA.-For Bengal prices have suffered a farther de pression of is to Is 6d per cwt. ; good to fine white 69s 6d to 70s 6d, mid to good mid 65s to 68s, low 63s to 645, ord to good brown 43s to 495, low to fine yellow 56s to 66s per cwt. .Slanilla at 15s to 173 for low to fine brown, and 17s to 21s for low to good yellow. Java 1556 d to 21s for brown and yellow. EOM-JCL -Yellow Havannah at former rates ; low to mid yellow at 19s to 2:is 6d, good and fine strong 21s 6d to 22s per cwt ; since the sale, however, 200 boxes hare been sold at 21s 6d for fine strong ; for white 29s to 30s is the value of fine quality ; Brazil of brown quality is wanted ; prices have been sully sustained ; white at 20s to 24s 6d for low to good. AIOLASSES.-Prices have been firm for West India, and a fair amount of business has been transacted ; the sales have been 250 puns. Demerara good and fine 27s 6d to 28s, Anti gua ordinary 275. St. Kitts fair 255, ordinary St. Lucia 24s per cwt. Bengal Syrup has been selling in small parcels at 23s to 255, but Foreign Molasses is dull of sale at 6s 6d to 8s per cwt.

Tea was arriving down in large quantities, and it was estimated that the new season's supply would be about 33,000,000 lbs ; the crop of Congou was expected to be 450 chops. Prices have opened high, 33 to 39 taels being paid for Congou. The total pur chases made in Tea is stated to amount to 60 chops : at Can ton the Chinese had s ho wn some i nc li nat i on to infringe the truce. The above caused holders of Tea yesterday to require ad vanced rates; buyers likewise were more disposed to operate, and a fair demand of business was transacted at id per lb ad vance ; still the market was not excited, several of the trade keeping in view the estimated supply.

Sir ROBERT PEEL then rose and said, Sir, I b eg leave to move that the paragragh in her Mkjesty's graeions Speech at the opQning of Parliament, relating to, t h e Corn-laws, be now read. The Clerk (Mr. Lev) then read the part Of her Ma. jesty's Speech, in which her Majesty recommended to the consideration of the House, the Male or the laws affecting the importation of corn and o th er Art i c l os, the produce of foreign countries. Sir R. PEEL—Sir, I now rise to move that the /lowa do resolve itself into a Committee of the whole t consider the laws relating to tl3.- importationot: f o r* . corn. The House having re!',olved itself into a Co•.amittes, and Mr. GREENE having taken the chair. Sir ROBERT PEEL rose and said, Mr. Greene, I rise in pursuance of the notice which I have given, to sub. mit to the House the views of her Majesty's Government with respect to the modification of, and the amendment of, those laws which relate to the importation of foreign corn. I should consider it a reflection au the House, if I attempted to excuse myself from entering into details. Whatever may be the dental* I have to prefer, and however unqualified I may be to ra• lieve a subject necessarily of details, necessarily abstiusa„ by any illustrations of fancy, yet I am convinced tbat the paramount importance of this subject will indlicv the House to grant me that patient attention which; und,fif other circumstances, I should have deemed it unnecessary` to prefer a claim to. I atu aware of the difficulty that encompasses the sul.i?,‘,'•Ci I am about to bring undai consideration. A matter with respect to whieb such adver'e opinions prevail, it is difficu}t to die-' cuss, wit.itout making statements or admissions witir ; i l will.

I The eleventh half -yearly meeting of the Proprietors of this undertaking was held yesterday, at the Company's offices, Shoreditch. Henry Bosa.nquet, Esq. (Chairman), presided. The common seal of the Company having been affixed to the register of Proprietors, The CIIMRMAN opened th e proceedings of the meeting by saving that this was the elev ent h t i me the Directors had h a d the pleasure of meeting their brother Proprietors in this under taking. This meeting was a most important one, inasmuch as it had become requisite at this moment to look their pecuniary matters boldly in . the face, and to come to a resolution to em ploy some determined plan of raising the rest of the money required in sufficient amount for carry i ng t h e ra il wa y to its desired destination—the town of Colchester. The Directors had given the greatest possible consideration to the plan about to be submitted to the meeting, and which he believed to be an equitable, just, and ea s y p l an of raising the money required. There was only one other subject which he would take the liberty of alluding to at t hi s time, and he felt bound to notice it because he had suffered individually, and the Company as a body, mare than any body else; and that was the extreme ignorance under which the public laboured as to the nature of the traffic of the Eastern Counties Railway. It was necessary to be well understood that the profit to be obtained from the railway was not supposed to be derived from the direct line alone, but the intermediate traffic was to be taken into consi deration, as well as the advantages of coaches now on the road being brought on to the line —as he firmly believed they ul timately would. People, generally, were apt, from pre conceited prejudices, and other causes, to come to a conclusion on certain matters, and then to predicate effects from supposed causes, and if the legitimate effects of an undertaking did not immediately show themselves, other con clusions were supplied in their stead erroneously. The pro duce of the last half-year had been 40,000/., and it would be only right to judicate when the railway was opened to Colches ter, when the Company would be able to show an immense amount of receipts. In conclusion, he"trusted the Proprietors would find by the Reports that would be read this day, that the officers of the Company had all endeavoured to do their duty in their respective capacities. The Directors had indi vidually laboured to do their best, and the Manager had done all he could to save all the money possible, and in every way to reduce the expenses of the concern. —(Hear, hear.) He trusted, finally, that it would be seen that the engineer had also exerted himself to the utmost, in his peculiar department, for the welfare of the undertaking.—(Cheers.) The Reports of the Directors and the Engineer were then read. Mr. DENNEY (Coggeshall) then rose, and asked how it was that Mr. Braithwaite, the Engineer, had been going round in the county of Essex to condemn the brieks used in the viaducts, and afterwards allowed them to be used?—( Hear.) It was, he considered, a disgrace to the managers of the railway to allow the work to be proceeded with when such bricks were employed. MI. BRAITHWAITE, in answer to the question, stated that he had condemned a great many bricks, as he considered it his duty to do, as regularly as any party supplied them.—(Cheers.) He was exceedingly obliged to Mr. Denney for having called his attention to the subject as he had done; and on receiving information that such bricks were being used he went to the spot, and found that the bricks he complained of were not actu ally employed. All the bricks that he hadcondemned had been carted away at the price of fifteen shillings per thousand, and in many instances when any objectionable bricks remained, they had Is, en, by his desire, broken ustpinitho._rde(rAthlaatugthhe..y) might not be used. It was known that a ll contractors would employ bad bricks if they c ould do so by ea However, to prevent any cause of complaint in this respect, he had exercised a constant vigilance ; but still he could not entirely prevent the practice. The question to which he was now replying, would have come better from a different person than the gentleman who had put it; for it had appeared upon an investigation that had been made, that tkere was some difference of opinion between the contractor, Mr. Wise, and Mr. Denney. Mr. DENNEY—I never spoke to him in my life. Mr. BRAITHWAITE continued—And he was exceedingly surprised to Lind that it arose from Mr. Wise's refusal to take the bricks from that gentleman.—( Hear, hear.) He had dur ing his connection with the Company endeavoured to employ his time to the interests of the undertaking---( Hear)—and he had never compelled the contractors to purchase bricks of any one party in particular, who might send an inferior material, which the contractor would be compelled to use. He had been compelled to condemn n any thousand bricks, and he regretted that Mr. Wise had not been ab'e to come to terms with Mr. Denney for his bricks. Mr. DENNEY—I am a brick-maker, not a seller. Mr. Wise came to me about some bricks, and I told him I never made any bricks to sell, but to use. I believe that not one thousand condemned bricks have been carried away from the place to which I allude, near Colchester ; and if these bricks are em ployed, the whole viaduct will before long have to come down again. I have gone by the place every week, and seen thou sands of bad bricks there. Mr. WILKES (Shenfield) was confident that the Direc tors had done their duty—( Hear, hear)—and he believed that if Mr. Braithwaite's own brother had offered to the Company any bricks unfit to use they would object to them.—( Hear, hear.) He believed that both Mr. Braith waite and the managing Director were men of integrity and honour, and as such he would rely upon them ; but when he could no longer do so he would be ready to give his vote the other way. It was then moved and seconded that the Report of the Di rectal* with the balance sheet annexed, be received and adopted ; and that it be printed and circulated with copies of the Engineers' Report. J. C. CoesoLn, Esq., of Ipswich—There is one very im portant point I wish to refer to with respect to the Report. You know,. Sir, that I, as well as several others in the district to which I belong, have taken great interest in the railway on former occasions, but I find that in the Report you do not advert to any intention of carrying the line beyond Colchester. I may fairly ask that question now, because this is if very important period, when you are about to declare a dividend. The Company have given notice of a deviation line, or branch line, which would diverge the line from the originally contemplated line. Now I may fairly ask, whether the Directors have abandoned the intention of going beyond the originally projected line to Colchester? It is not mentioned in the Report, but at a former metting it was stated that the money then to be raised was for the purpose of completing the line to Colchester. It is well know n that many of my friends became interested in the railway, solely became it was to go beyond Colchester ; not for any private er pecuniary adt , antage of their own, but with a view of improving the particular district to which they belong. T. W. RATHEONE, Esq.—The time for the conside ration of that question will be when we are in a con dition to take the line to Colchester.—( Hear, hear. ) Our anxious wish is to extend it far into the eastern coun ties, and our best endeavours will be directed to promote that object. We now propose to complete the line to Colchester, and then to consider the propriety of raising any further sum, which, at present, is entirely out of the question.—( Hear. ) Let us reach Colchester and realise a dividend ; let us establish ourselves in the estimation in which we now stand ; and then surely, it will be time to consider what we shall do further. Mr. CORBOLD—I shall perhaps meet with very little sym pathy here—( A laugh) — nevertheiess, I trust I shall stand ex cused for asking the question, not on the part of myself, but on account of the district with which I happened to be connected. A Driteeroa—No doubt of it. Mr. COBBOLD —I have no right to expect an answer,but still I trust it may be considered that I have a right to ask the question. I should not have asked the question had it not been somewhat confidently stated that the Directors had aban doned the intention of goii g beyond Colchester, and I only ask whether such is the fact ? Mr. RaTireoN E—l can answer that question decidedly in the negative.—( Cheers.) Mr. COBIsOLD—That is so far satisfactory, but I believe there was a very general impression in my district, that they had done so. There is only one other remark I wish to make, though not with any desire of raising a discussion. '1 he sub ject to which Iwish to allude, involves a very important ques tion connected with the carrying on of the line. It is a ques tion at present undecided as to the legality or liability of the Directors to carry on the line, or as to the power of the Com pany to divide the profits until they have completed the under taking. Now, the Directors propose to make a dividend, not having completed the undertaking ; and a portion of the un dertaking, I gather from the answer of the Vice. President, it is very probably their intention to abandon.—(No, no.) They have not expressed so much, but we have heard nothing to encourage us to suppose that they will not do so, by the faint manner in which that gentleman has expressed himself. Now, it will be rendered necessary to bring that question to issue. 1 will not willingly, .or knowingly, he a party to any proceeding whatever, fairly , stating that such a proceeding might ensue, and I trust 1 may be excused from whatever consequences may arise in the event of the Directors proposing to go on with the declaration of a dividend under the circumstances in which the line is placed. I have the honour of knowing several gentlemen who sit around the table, and when the project was broached in my immediate county, it was stated by the gentlemen in that dis trict who agreed to embark in the undertaking, that they did so without any view of making it a speculation for their own pri vate advantage, but solely because it opened a prospect of ad vantage to their locality, to which they believed the railway was likely to be beneficial ; as lam sure it will be to whatever locality it goes through.—( Loud cheers.) It was our anxiety to see the work carried out. We are not -railway proprietors or adventurers, but we said we had no objection to give one thousand pounds or two, without any hope of reward, except that which should fairly accrue to the undertaking. It is not to be supposed that we are unabl e t o form a judgment as to the probability of, its success, but we did not join it at all for any advantages except to our locality. Fortunately, probably, for our district, our suWoription is every small. Ido think that the Company, whether they have or have not any fair hopes of carrying the line through, ought, at all events, to put those Proprietors in the district with which I am eonnected, in the same position in which they found them. That is all I ask for, I know I may be mixed up in I have attended this some odium with other parties, who have published proceed ings which I altogether condemn ; but whether it is so or riot, I will say that I have never been a party to stated tq what extent 1 meeting quite by accident, for when I came to t own i t was with no intention of being present at this meeting. I say now, p an ar y ti P c r i o p e a u te e d din ft: e , 010, I think the Directors ought to put . the Proprietors of our district in this same Witten . 1 ° ;_ r iliV 4 goy fano them, by r w ei i a th . _ lt H ha e v a i e , h fa e i a r r l . y ) taking their shares out of their Banns,— 1, ( .inghter.)
