The discussion in the House of Lords last night con cerning the appointment of Magistrates, is quite a jewel. It reflects all the virtues of our partisan legislative Judges and Government in the must brilliant light. It is a matter of history that from the lung period the Go• vrrnment had been in possession of the Tories prior to 1830, the bulk of the Magistrates, as well as of all the officers under the Government, were Tories. No man, before 1830, could get any appointment who was nut a Tory. When the Whigs came into office, and during the time they were in office, they acted avowedly on the same principle, and, as the rule, placed their own friends and partisans on the Bench, as well as in all public offices. Now, again, the Tories are in office, and tbey are again having recourse to their old practices. Last night the Marquis of NORMANDY presented a petition from Gateshead, complaining of the late addi tions made to the Magistracy in that borough, and referred to several other instances in which similar addi tions of Tory Magistrates had been made. The LORD CHANCELLOR defended the appointments, on the ground that the Tories only followed the example of the Whigs, but did not go nearly so far. Between both parties it comes to this—that the Bench is jobbed, and men appointed to administer the laws, and do justice to the people, not. because they arc fit for the high office, but because they arc Whigs, or because they are Tories. Well might Lord RADNOR, with that honest indigna tion which he so well knows how to express, say of such conduct, and say particularly of the LORD CHANCELLOR'S defence of it, that it excited his disgust. Ile stigmatised it, too, as unconstitutional ; and he told the LORD (2n ANcELLoa, if he believed what he had said of the Whigs, and thought he could substantiate his charge, he ought to get some of his friends in the House of Commons to impeach the late Ministers. Such eli mination and recrimination let in a flood of light on the purity of statesmen, not one of whom, whatever may be his professions, cares for the people, but all of whom study their party interest, even ;no appointing Magistrates to administer justice to the people. The practice dis cussed last night is bad enough, but it is infinitely wprse, as Lord RADNoa observed, to have it defended by the LORD CHANCELLOR. The Uuuse of Commons debated last night for a con siderable time Mr. RokamcK's proposition to reduce the duty on professional and trade income, from 7d. per 11. to .3A-d. The Hon. Member's motidn was lost by a majority of 146. Mr. GOULBURN'S chief argument against the proposition was, that all taxation was un equal, that is unjust, and he Would not, therefore, lessen the injustice of the Income-tax. He wishes to per petrate as much wrong by taxation as possi ble. He also urged that some incomes derived from trade, such as those of established banking-houses, were a secure as those of lauded property, and that it would only be adding to the injustice to exempt such incomes from the full weight of the tax. Mr. GOULBURN'S statement proves that the measure is more anomalous and miichicvous than was at first supposed, and no doubt the more the discussion is continued the more enormous will the anomalies app ear . Mr. GOULBURN'S argument is as anomalous as the Bill. Because, said the/Hon. Gentleman in substance, some bankers have an old hereditary business, which is almost equal to landed property, I will tax all profes sional and trade incomes at the same rate as the safe and certain incomes derived from an estate, or from an hereditary banking-house. While such a spirit presides at the Treasury, it is in vain to expect any modification of the Income-tax Bill, and it will probably be for the advantage of the public to allow the Bill to pass unim proved. It will be the sooner kicked uti: Were pro fessional men and traders spared, that would give them a strong motive for a dh er i ng to t h e I ncome-tax : if it be unmitigated, all classes will combine, we hope, to resist .tad defeat it. Among the Bills which received the Royal Assent yesterday, was the Corn- keeping -out, or, in Parliamen tary language, the Corn Importation Bill. That mea sure, which goes to inflict poverty, hunger, and starve 'Lion on the people, is now th e l aw of the land, and, like other such bad laws, will be obeyed, however much it may be execrated through the length mid breadth of the land. Though less wrongful than the law it abolished, which all parties at length admitted to be unjust, it is an unjust law, and all the decrees of all the Parliaments that ever existed, cannot alter its character. At this moment, the people are riotous in several places for want, of work and want of food. A Tory paper of last evening contained an account of a body of men at Manchester taking awuy bread from the shops. Hunger, approaching to rictual starvation, is at this moment the lot of great numbers of industrious, hard working, honest men ; and when such are the calamitous circumstances of the people, the Legislature, called too, by way of mockery,paternal, enacts a law to levy according to the present average prices, a duty.of 13s. per quarter, or 22 per cent. of the value, on the food of the people. Such an enactment at this time, and after public ex perience has condemned and repudiated a similar law, we can only stigmatise as most unjust and most impious. The authors of the old law might plead ignorance; the authors of the new law can use no such plea; and they will stand convicted and condemned to all time, of know ingly passing a law to keep out food, after experience had demonstrated that the effects of such a law are most ruinous. At the same time let us state that the new law is a milder injustice than the law it abolished. According to the averages published yesterday, the duty on wheat under the old law was 275. Bd., or nearly 48 per cent. of the price—what a mon strous iniquity, while the people are actually starving : under the new law it will be 13s. The duty on barley under the old law is 225. 10d. ; under the new law it will be 10s. Oats, tinder the old law, 19s. 9d. ; tinder the new law, Bs. Rye, under the old law, 19s. 9d. ; under the new law, Os. 6d. The law comes into opera tion from the time of its receiving- the Royal Assent, yesterday; and these diminished duties, collected under the old mode of taking the averages, till a sufficient number of averages by the new method has been col lected, will henceforth be payable. The declaration of duty on Friday next, we presume, will be the re duced sums we have just mentioned. What will be the immediate effect of the law coming into operation, we will not venture to state with any positiveness. The average price is 595., the duty is 135.; for the importers to sell with a profit, therefore they must have imported their wheat, and paid all ex penses, for 455. We should suppose that very little or no wheat has been imported at that price, and conse quently, great as the reduction of duty appears, it will not be worth one straw to the consumer. If such be the case, Sir R. PEEL'S law, even before his system of averages ha 3 come into operation, will be of no advan tage whatever to the public; and his Corn-law is, we fear, a type of most of those other mock reforms in the Tariff, with which he has bribed many people to ac quiesce in an Income-tax. • In the debate of March 9, Sir IL PEEL says— But what, I again ask, will be the consequence of rejecting this measure ? In proposing it I offer a great mitigation of the evils complained of in the present system. Reject it, and what other arrangement can be made ? Is the Noble Lord strong enough to carry his Bs. duty ? Is any other party strong enough to maintain the existing system, or to give a Corn-law more favourable to the agriculturist? The only alternative 4, leaving this question the subject of prolonged agitation and discussion, interrupting all commercial intercourse, disturbing the relations between landlord and tenant, and making it im possible for any man to know upon what terms he holds his land. This law, therefore, is nut described by him as just ; it is a mere compromise between parties at the moment, the relative strength of which is varying every hour. He proposes the law to mitigate the evils of the old law, which no party, he says, can maintain. He plainly avows that there is no alternative but to accept his compro mise, or submit to that prolonged agitation and discus sion which has made the old law untenable. He pro.- muted the compromise to put au end to agitation and discussion. lle has not succeeded ; he cannot succeed ; the whole Parliament, pass what laws it may, short of total repeal, cannot put an end to agitation and discus sion. His compromise, therefore, is worthless, and his unjust law will not be even momentarily expedient. By his allusion to agitation and to the impossibility of maintaining the laws, he acknowledges a master; but at the same time he will not carry out what that master pres:ribes. Agitation will again force him, or some other Prime Minister, to take the question up, and will ultimately be obeyed. To bow to agitation as capa ble of overturning the law, and yet not to take the law which agitation dictates, is showing a refractory temper, not a discerning mind. Influenced by such a temper Sir ROBERT PEEL has reduced the Legislature to enact an injustice, and to degrade its own character in the eyes of a discerning people, for no other object than to effect a momentary balance or compromise between fluctuating parties. He and his supporters may call that wisdom— to us it appears the folly of a very cunning man. Irish disturbances and Tory Government appear to be inseparable. Lord DE GREY was scarcely seated in his Vice-regal Chair, when the old animosity of Orangemen against Catholics displayed itself in all its hateful rancour ; the most opprobrious epithets were used almost in the hearing of his Excellency, and but a faint attempt was made by the Ex ecutive to convince the offended party that the New Government was resolved to administer equal justice to all classes of the Irish people. What has been the result? Insolence on one hand, and distrust of the law on the other, with every appearance of disturbances which when suffered to reach a certain height, can be put down only by an armed force. In the county of Tipperary, even Tory Journals admit that the people are in a more discontented and dangerous condition than during the Government of Lord NORMA.NBT, black as they were wont to picture his Administration. A Coercion Act they say is indispensably necessary, and the Lord Lieutenant of the County is callei upon to convene the Magistracy and appeal to the Government for protection to life and property, " for which at pre • sent there is no security." This is certainly a dismal description of the state of the country, occurring too within a few weeks after Lord DE GREY boasted of the tranquillity produced by the vigorous adminini3tration of the laws. The laws, which under the late Lord Lieutenant and his predecessor were found suffi ciently strong, even with all the indiscriminate gaol deliveries and wicked leniency of Lord Non- MANBY, are now,; helpless, and the Irish must, according to the good old Tory practice, be put down by coercion Bills, Insurrection Acts, and all that hateful, unconstitutional machinery which distin guished the worst periods of the CASTLEREAGH Govern ment. For the peace of the country, we confidently an ticipate that Sir ROBERT PEEL will discountenance any such dangerous experiment. Why have recourse to brute force, when past experience proves that the Irish are much more easily governed by mild treatment and equal laws, than by hosts of policemen and standing ar mies ? This is not a time to begin a furious crusade against seven millions of Catholics to gratify the wicked passions of Orangemen. The nightly squabbles of the House of Commons about the business of Election Committees, must con vince every man of any reflection, who troubles his head about the matter, that the time has arrived when public convenience demands the establishment of a fixed and regular tribunal for deciding upon all contested elections. It is clear that the Horse of Commons enjoys privileges which it cannot enforce, and which, if it could, would not meet the objections which are constantly made to modes of proceeding so clumsy, so ill-defined, and so entirely under the control of individual prejudice, caprice, or party feeling. As the House of Commons is not a judi cial tribunal, it can merely commit to prison for contempt of its authority— an offence more likely to give popu larity than to excite any feeling of public indignation against the offender. Now it is essential that the tri bunal trying contested elections should possess all the judicial functions of a Criminal Law Court, and that its authority should be entirely independent of the House. What are called the privileges of the two Houses of Parliament were valuable in feudal times, when the ad ministration of justice was regulated by the pleasure of the Court. But as civilisation advances, law rightly oc cupies the place of privilege. In fact, privileges become absurdities, unless defined and protected by laws. It is unnecessary to remind the House of Commons that no tribunal in Great Britain is regarded with more universal contempt than an Election Committee. As soon as the political complexion of the majority of such Committee isknown, there is not a door-keeper or porter about the House who cannot tell with certainty whether the Member petitioned against will, or will not, be un seated. It becomes a mere party contest. The judicial forms observed are intended only to blind the public to the farce going on within doors. The rejection of Mr. WALLACE'S motion for leave to bring in a Bill to reduce the number of the Judges of the Court of Session in Scotland, does not surprise us. The House of Commons is filled with lawyers, and every lawyer in the House of Commons looks for ward to a Judgeship. The more seats there are on the Judicial Bench, the more chances there are of speedy preferment. Judgeships, moreover, are a source of patronage to the Government, and every Mi nister finds in patronage a security for continuance in office. Still the labours of Mr. WALLACE will not be unproductive of immense advantages. Already exten sive reforms have taken place in the administration of the law in Scotland in consequence of the publicity which he gave to the abuses existing in the several law Courts; others will follow, and thus the fear of exposure will operate beneficially upon the judicial bench of Scotland. Mr. WALLACE proved, by a refuence to the Parliamen tary documents that the Court of Session does not sit more, on an average, than two hours daily for about six months in the year, and that of that two hours one third is occupied in disposing of orders and mo tions of no .importance. Then the form of plead ing from written papers, instead of viva voce, imposes immens e labour upon the adv oca t es , an d i mpe d es every .motion of the wheels of justice. But these evils, though deep-roote'd,' 'are not immovable. Mr. WALLACE has only to persevere in his exertions to reform the admi- nistration of the law in Scotland, to be sure of ultimate success. We have Madrid Journals of the 20th instant, but their contents are uninteresting. We therefore merely subjoin the state of the Madrid Stock Exchange MADRID BOURSE, APRIL 20.—The basiness done to-day amounted, in English money, to about 213,4021. The market has experienced but little variation, prices being much the same as on Tuesday. In the Three per Cents. ten opera tions were effected for a sum of 8,900,000 reals, at 22/ and 23/, at sixty days. In the Five per Cents., 18,800,000 reals were negotiated, in thirty bargains, at 27/i 13.16, 28b, and 28, also at sixty days. In the Debt without interest there were two transactions for three millions of reals, at 6*, at sixty days. Not a single bargain was done for eash throughout the day. Exchange on London, at ninety days, 37a to %, but there was little or no demand for this paper. There is no news in the French Journals of any in. terest to English readers. The Railway Bill was the subject of discussion in the Chamber of Deputies on Tuesday, but the debate was carried on in the midst of conversations, (Alen loud enough to prevent the speakers from being heard. The impression out of doors seems to be that the Government proposes to do morn than it has the means of accomplishing. This is a very common error with all Governments, as well as that of France. Ministers, for the time being, always fancy themselves omnipotent The following Royal ordinance is published in the Moniteur Algeriene of the 20th April:— " No execution to death, by whatever jurisdiction it may have been ordered, shall take place in any part of the French possessions in Algeria, until a report has been made to us (the King), and we have decided to give a free course to justice. Nevertheless, in cases of extreme urgency, the Governor- General may order execution, making an immediate commu nication to our Secretary of War of the motives of his decision, which he will make known to us. This power granted to the Governor- General cannot be delegated.'' We learn from Berlin that a favourable change had taken place in the health of the ex-King of Holland. _ _ _ _ _ A letter from Wanaw, dated April 13, in the Frankfurter journal, states that the army of Poland and Lithuania is almost immediately to be placed on a peace footing. The Muniteur of the 27th has no official part. It gives no tice of the hours on the 30th of April and Ist of May at which the King will receive the several public bodies, deputations, &c., on the occa-ion of his fete.—Constitutioanel.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS' - CITY, FRIDAY EVENING. Some sales of Money Stock at the commencement of busi ness caused a decline after the great rise yesterday. The Mar ket left off firmly.

The Foreign Exchanges, with the exception of Amsterdam, which declined to 12 44, 12 44, remainedas on Tuesday. (From The Sun of .Last Night.) A slight re-action has occurred in the English market, owing to some large sales having been made by the Chancery broker. Although the various stocks are reported " heavy," still the alteration in prices is extremely small, which, taking the great rise of yesterday into consideration, may be viewed as indicative of firmness. Consols are marked 924 to 93 for Money, and 93 to 934 for the Account ; New Three-and-a. Half per Cents., 101 to 1014 ; Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cents., 100 to 4 ; Bank Stock, 1673 to 168 ; India Stock, 246 to 248 ; the Bonds, 20 to 22 ; Exchequer Bills, 38 to 40, premium. In Foreign Securities the only business has been in Dutch, the price of wheat is 534 53 1 4 for the Three, and 1014 for the Five per Cent. Stock. Scarcely any thing doing in Shares, and the only alteration is in Brighton, which appear to be rapidly improving in value, and in public estimation, the price now being 374 ; South Western, 63 634; Northern and Eastern, 434; Birmingham Quarter Shares, 374 ; Cheltenham and Great Western, 184 i ; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 54 55. Although this is settling day in the bonds of the insolvent States, there is only one quotation to each of the following, which is Columbian, `26k ; Portuguese Five per Centt., 384 ; the Three per Cents., 23 ; Spani s h A c ti ves , 244 ; the Three per Cents., 24g. The unprecedented circumstance of the quantity of West India Sugar on show in the Colonial Market, not ex ceedingso hhds., was noticed yesterday. If the wind continued adverse it may be ex pected that the weekly return of the stock on hand, will on Tuesday exhibit but a few hogsheads, perhaps not more than four hundred, should the deliveries have been equal to what they were in the last week. It is satisfactory to be able to add that this causes no alarm, neither have prices been affected in consequence, the quantity of Mauritius and Bengal being suffi cient for the immediate wants of the trade. The consumption of the latter description has wonderfully increased since the equalization of the duty, having been 270,000 cwt. in 1837, and upwards of 1,000,000 in 1841—a strong argument in favour of low rates improving the demand. Private accounts frian Jamaica, and some 'other of the West Indian colonies, state that the condition of the negroes is im proving, and that an increased willingness to work has been manifested on those estates, where kindness was shown them before, and after emancipation. It would appear from these, that the gloomy forebodings of the cultivation of sugar in the colonies ceasizig, are in reality without foundation, and this opinion is strengthened by a despatch lately received from Sir C. Metcalfe on the subject. He writes " with respect to the labouring population, formerly slaves, but now perfectly free and more independent than the same class in other free countries, I venture to say that in no country in the world can the labouring population be more abundantly provided with the necessaries of life, more at their ease, or more secure from oppression than in Jamaica." Papers one day later have been received from the Cape of Good Hope, bet which contain no colonial intelligence, being filled with extracts from European Journals which had just arrived. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, APRIL 28.—The market was quiet, the sales not exceeding 3,500 bales, of which 250 American were for export, and 300 on speculation, without change in prices.

The French Railway Bill is the leading subject discussed irs the Paris Journals of Wednesday. Their comments are un important. The appointment of M. Lacave Laplagne to the post of Mi nister of Finance furnishes the Opposition prints with a handle for some observations on tne conduct of the Government. They maintain that the position of the Cabinet is seriously affected by the death of M. Humana, and they aver that the latter will not be efficiently replaced by the new Minister. • We learn, from Madrid, that anything approaching a treaty of commerce between England and Spain, is viewed in the worst light by the Catalonians. These gentry are busily employed in devising means for thwarting the go id intentions of the Govern ment, and though their Deputies have declared in favour of a protecting duty on all cotton goods from abroad, still they feign to consider that their interests are at stake. Barcelona Journals continue to be filled with details of the ravages which are committed by the factions who infest the mountains. It would appear that Felipe, who is the most formidable of the bandit chiefs, was on the 16th in the vicinity of the Angeles, near Girona, and 'that he had 150 men under his orders. A sum of money has been offered for his head by the political chief of Girona, as well as for those of his Lieu tenants Pinone and Geronela. The German Journals publish a circular sent by the Turkish Ministry to all the Governors of the provinces, alluding to the appointment of a Commission to inquire into the complaints of ill treatment made by some Christian subjects of the Porte at Smyrna, and ordering that, in future, the Christian subjects of the Porte, in all parts of its territories, shall have justice so fairly and equitably administered to them, that they may be no longer compelled to place themselves under the protection of foreign Ambayadors and Consuls, under the impression that justice is not otherwise to be obtained from the Turkish authorities. A Bavarian Journal of the 16th inst. says :—" It is affirmed by some dignitaries of the Church, that his Holiness has posi tively determined to visit during the summer some spa in the Austrian empire. It is generally believed that his Eminence, the Prime Archbishop Cardinal Schwarzenburg has induced the Pope to take this resolution." FARLIA - atENTART. The Royal assent was given to the Corn Importation Bill, Spirit Duties ( 1 reland) Bill, and some private Bills. The Marquis of Normal-)y drew the attention of the Lords to the case of Mr. Bidduleh, a Magistrate of Ireland ; but as Earl de Grey said he had written to Irel ind for information on the subject, the Noble Marquis did not press the matter. A petition from Gateshead, complaining of the appointment of Tory Magistrates, gave rise to a good deal of elimination and recrimination amongst Noble Lords relative to appoint ing justices for party purposes. For some time the House was quite agitated with the subject. Both parties seem on this point to have acted on the same principle, and the crimination and recrimination of each is the condem nation of both. The Marquis of Normanby, the Lord Chancellor, the Marquis of Londonderry, Earl Radnor, and the Earl of Warwick, were the principal speakers. The Earl of Winchilsea made a statement on behalf of the Kentish fruit growers, and against the alterations in the tariff, which will limit their so• called pi otection. The Noble Earl said, it is not just to take away protection from the production of a particular commodity ; but is it just then to take away the property of other men to give that protection ? The Legis lature can give nothing of its own; it merely takes from one portion of its subjects to give to another, which, if it be pro tection for some, is spoliation for others. The Earl of Radnor showed that protection had injured the apple growers. Lord Brougham drew the attention of their Lordships to the Bribery Act, passed last Session, which prescribes that Members accused of bribery should be reported, and expressed his, astonishment that this part of the Act had not been com plied with. Their Lordships adjourned at Seven o'Clock. A new writ was moved for Brighton in the room Mr. Wigney. In reply to Mr. Thesiger, Mr. Redington said he was not prepared to move for Mr. Mabson's discharge. Sir J. Yarde Buller, however moved for the discharge of Mr. Gibbons, which was agreed to. In reply to Mr. Milner Gibson, Sir R. Peel said that the question when the treaty with Brasil expires was still the sub ject of dispute. Mr. Wynn, like Lord Brougham in the other House, called attention to the Bribery Act, and to the fact that it was not carried into execution by the Committees. The House was occupied the greater part of the evening in Committee on the Income-tax. Mr. Roebuck moved an amendment on Schedule D, to tax professional incomes one half, but it was lost by 258 to 112. After such a decision and division, we may . safely conclude that the Bill will undergo no important alteration. Mr. Sharman Crawford subsequently divided the Committee on his amendment, to exempt all industrial incomes from tax, which was lost by 50 to 259. The Committee also divided en Sir C. Napier's motion, to exempt all naval and army officers, who have no incomes but from their profession, and are below the rank of a General or Flag-officer, which was also lost by 205 to 32. The House then resumed. Mr. Gibbons was brought to the bar, reprimanded by the Speaker, and discharged. At a Quarter to Two o'Clock, the Commons adjourned, but meet at Two o'Clock this day, to allow Mr. Thesiger to move for the discharge of Mr. Mabson, on the ground that the Speaker's warrant fix his attendance on the Southampton Election Committee is invalid. P LTI3 LIC OPINION. The Morning Herald predicts, as will be seen by the fol lowing passage, that the Income-tax will not be abandoned at the end of three years, but that, on the contrary, the per-centage on income will very shortly be raised :—" We do not believe that, at the termination of the three years for which the Income tax is about to be imposed, it will be abandoned. Many rea sons beget this scepticism; there is, at present, but an indif ferent prospect of such a surplus three years hence as will enable any Minister to propose the dispensation of this tax; if, indeed, the present eastern policy of England is to be persisted in—if the Affghan war is to be renewed—if the Chinese war is to be indefinitely waged, the people of England must be pre pared for an early increase of the per-tentage which is about to be imposed on income." The Post says—" Supposing it were demonstrable, that, by granting universal suffrage, the party now called Conservative could obtain a majority equal to that which the Whigs pos sessed in 1833, it would not be the less contrary to Conserva tive principles to concede universal suffrage. We do not pre tend, however, that if every man had a vote, without reference to station, property, or any other qualification, that the Conser vatives would obtain a majority of such votes. If the right of representation rested upon numbers alone, no party could stand against the tide of revolution. The immense majority would be composed of those who have nothing to lose, and who would therefore be sure to try whether something might not be gained by change." The Times observes, in an article on the present state of affairs in Affghanistan :—" We were wrong at the outset: granted. And if matters remained now where they stood six months back, we have little hesitation in avowing the satisfac tion with which we should have heard that all the supposed advantages of that unjust advance were to be simply abandoned. But it is not so. A fresh state of things has sprung up. The relations of parties are reversed. The balance of injury has fearfully changed sides. And a withdraw al which would then have been an act of high justice, which might still be an act of generous compensati , n in an individual who has none but him self to care for, would be now, in a Governmeat, a betrayal of the interests and of the principles which are intrusted to its keeping." We take the following from the Chronicle:—" The Income tax Act cannot, of course, be carried into effect without an ex pensive machinery, and where the carcase is there will the eagles be gathered togetter. How much may not the hopes of par ticipating in the good things under the Act have contributed to moderate the opposition to it? It is true, all cannot have offices, but each busy personage may, nevertheless, have flat tered himself that he will be the fortunate candidate." MONEY — TRADE—COMMERCE. An Anti-War meeting was held at Worcester last Monday, of about 100 of the householders, when a petition was finally adopted to be presented to the Hou.e of Commons, praying for a discontinuance of the warlike operations in China and Aff ghanistan. The Proprietors of the South Eastern Railway held their special meeting on Thursday. The Report stated the balance in hand to be 62,4611. 55. Bd. The distance that would be opened in the month of May would be 40 miles; 8 to Croydon, 12 on the joint or Brighton line, and 20 miles on the South E as t ern line. In the m o nth o f August b miles further would be opened, in November 11 miles further, making the whole dis tance from the metropolis of 66 miles. PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS. The Royal Exchange and Gresham Trusts Committee have concluded their Report, agreeing to negotiate with the Bank of England for the advance of the sum of 70,0001. for the City's expense of rebuilding the Exchange and Gresham Col lege, and for sealing.a bond for 5,000/., part thereof. LAW AND POLICE. The investigation into the murder at Merthyr-Tydvil was re sumed at the beginning of the week, when the Jury returned a verdict of " Wilful Murder" against Richard Edwards, who, on good evidence; is believed to have strangled his mother, Tamar Edwards, but up to Wednesday last he has eluded the vigilance of the police. LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC. Blue glass has been discovered by a French scientific horti culturist to promote vegetation in a most extraordinary manner, as it admits none but the chemical rays of light; red passes only the caloric, and yellow and green only the luminous par ticles, both of which, without the chemical, kill the plants; white glass has no influence at all. The body of M. Humann has been embalmed by M. Gannal, and is to be removed to Alsace for interment in the same vault with his deceased wife. His death was caused by aneurism of the heart. PINE ARTS. Mr. Hope gave a splendid ball at Paris, last Monday, to cele brate the completion of his magnificent hotel in the Faubourg St. Germain. COURT-PASIIIONAZILE. Lady Harriet Clive gave her second ball and supper last evening in Lower Grosvenor-street. Sir Robert Peel has caused invitations to be issued for a grand state banquet on the 19th of next month, in honour of her Majesty's birth-day. Lord Hill has derived so much benefit from his late sojourn at Brighton that he intends to return in a few days. The Dowager Lady Lyttelton had a soiree on Wednesday night. lady Howard's first ball in Be !grave-square takes place on the 16th of May. MISCELLANEOUS. Yesterday, in 1794, died James Bruce, the celebrated tra veller to the s ources o f t h e Nil e, at hi s fam i ly seat in Scotland. H . death, his 64th year, occurred thus :—A l arge party had dined h a i t Kinnaird, and while they were about to depart, Bruce was gaily talking to a young lady in the drawing-room, when suddenly observing that her aged mother was proceeding to her carriage unattended, he hurried from the room to the great staircase. In this effort his foot failed him; he fell down several of the steps, broke some of his fingers, pitched on his head, and never spoke again. ' PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION.

SIR,—As your paper is the a ivocate at all times of the poor and the oppressed, I think it right to correct what appears to me a gross mis-statement in your paper of yesterday, of the nature of the dispute between the colliers in the neighbourhood of Hawarden and their employers. The colliers, as far as I am able to know, by no means wish to dictate to their employers who shall or shall not conduct their business, but Mr. Staley is supposed by-the workmen to have suggested and carried into practice a scheme fur reducing the colliers wages from 18e. to about 12s. per week, by enlarging the meshes of the screens that screen the coals, so as to admit one-third of the coals, for which they were used to be paid, to pass through them as slack ; their strike is, in fact, to prevent an actual reduction of wages of 33 per cent., and no man of feeling will say they are at present overpaid for risking their lives in a coal-pit. Mr. Editor, I do think it is high time that the higher and middle classes took the situation of the poor working people into serious consideration, anti at once put a stop to this insane system of reducing the wages of labourers. The working classes, it is well known to all, are at the present time totally estranged in sentiment and feeling from the higher and middle classes, and that they look upon their employers in all parts of the country as their worst tyrants and oppressors, and how can they feel otherwise towards them? When they see the nail makers in Staffordshire, who at present cannot earn more than 43. 6il. per week, reduced 20 per cent. ; when the hosiers have suffered reduction after reduction till they can scarcely earn 4s. 6d. per week ; that weavers are earning no more ; that the working men in Liverpool have been reduced 50 per cent. since 1835 ; and that this reducing system is still going en in all parts of the country. And of what use is it to masters?—every reduction in wages produces immediately a corresponding reduc tion in the price of manufactured articles, reduces the value of the stocks in the hands of capitalists, and disables and disinclines them to purchase again till goods are actually wanted; whilst the reduction of wages makes it impossible for the mass of the people to purchase the articles that should give them employ ment. The consequence of all th s is, that the working people are compelled to produce more goous to get a living, whilst the demand is lessened, competition is increased among the mas ters, and their profits are reduced at every reduction of wages. If there be no demand for the goods, let fewerogoods be made, but no man with the feelings of a man, and especially of a Christian, will be instrnmental in reducing the cages of the poor, till they can no longer, even when fully employed ; pro cure food and clmhing fur themselves and families. Your insertion of my letter in your valuable paper will much oblige my bri,ther work .tier,, and, Sir, your friend and admirer, Liverpool, April 27, 1842. A WORKING MAN. [We have inserted this at the request of our Correspondent, but he must see if there be little or no demand for goods, the masters must either reduce wages or throw out of employment a number of their men.] SIR 6. COCKIIUitN and SIR H. PEEL General Sir G. Cockburn, of Shangunah, near Dublin, has addressed a letter to Sir R. Peel, which will be found in another column, suggesting that all the paper currency, as well as the metallic currency, should he issued under the authority of the Government alone, and every other description of p •per issues gradually put an cad to and abolished. As this is a doctrine which is making way in the city, where it finds a great number of intelligent advocates, it may be worth while to set forth the details of Sir G. Cockburn's plan, which is evidently the result of great care and consideration, and which will repay perusal. He begins by adding tog,ettier the sums due by the Govern ment to the Banks of England and Ireland, to Saving's-banks, the amount of outstanding Exchequer-bills, and the defi ciency of the present financial year, making in the aggre gate 30,000,0001. He then takes the amount of notes payable on demand, by whatever source in the United Kingdom issued, and sets them down at 44,000/., which is increased to 52,000,0001., if the deposits in the Banks of England and Ireland are to be considered as cer rency. The amount of bullion to meet this immense quantity of paper he estimates at 6,421,0001., or less than 2s. 6d. in the pound, if immediate payment were required, which is, indeed, now an under estimate. He then proposes to destroy at once the partnership between the Governments and the Banks of England and Ireland, and to effect this an Act is to be passed, enabling the Lords of the Treasury to issue notes•to the extent of 30,000,0001., which would pay off the amount set down above for liabilities, and would, in fact, be a " loan of the nation to itself" (to use Sir George Cockburn's own expression), without in!erest. The same Aet would render it ills gal for any banking Company to issue notes payable on demand, and the Treasury notes would, of course, be a legal tender, and receiv able for taxes. As this 30,000,000/. might be thought insuf ficient for the purposes of currency, when 50,600,004. is re quired at present, he thinks that 20,000,0001. might be advan tageously issued to pay off part of the national debt. Part of his scheme, according to which he would force the fundholder to take 80 per cent. under a penalty of reduced interest, is rot worthy of serious attention, as it could not be effected without a compromise of public faith, but this might be easily amended by using the Treasury notes to purchase stock in the market at the ruling price, since th ere i s n o reason w h y t h ey shou4sl not be so use as well as the present Bank notes. The great ad vantage which Sir G. Cockburn promises by this scheme is a steadiness in the currency, for all that ability of coining at pleasure, which is virtually enjoyed by the Banks of ng land and Ireland, would be at once removed, and a provision would be made in the Act under which the Treasury notes would be issued against any increase of circulation without the consent of Parliament. The smaller notes, amounting to five pounds or ten pounds, would be re deemable on demand at the Treasury in specie, but it does not seem that this would be the case with those of larger amount, nor is the reason of assigning the particular limit to convertibility as yet sufficiently elaborated in Sir G. Cockburn's scheme to admit of close investigation. That there must be a paper money of some sort or other he assumes, and likewise that the present amount of bullion in the country is lamentably deficient if compared with the present amount of circulation. Such paper, then, though stilt insuffi ciently represented, had better be in the power of the Govern• ment under legislative authority than in that of private indi viduals or corporations, since, at all events, if the whole dan ger of a paper currency were not removed, the fluctuations in the circulation wouldoccur under legislative sanction alone, and not be subjected to individual caprice. Whatever may be thought of this plan, it is certain there is no part of Sir Robert Peel's future policy to which more earnest attention is directed in this place than to his course with regard to the currency, and the opinion is general, that if it is thought right to attack that ancient monopoly of the paper issues which is po.sessed'by the Bank of England for tt e metropolitan dis trict, he is the man to conduct that attack, and to carry it through with safety to the country. It is not to be doubted that in the change of the sort here recommended, they might become formidable and dangerous opponents of the Govern ment. The name of Peel may keep them in awe, but the late Ministry, had they had the courage or the judgment to mak such an attempt, would probably in a very short time have been laid prostrate by such an antagonist.— Times. MEMOIR OF MARSHAL CLAUZEL Clauzel was born at Mirepoix, in the department of the Arriege, in the year 1773. He entered the army in 1791, and soon obtained a sub-Lieutenancy in the army of General Lafayette. In 1792, he became a cavalry Captain of Chasseurs, in the legion of the Pyrenees, a newly-created body, in which he made the campaign of 1793 in the Eastern Pyrenees. When the enemy blockaded Perpignan, Gauze! was taken prisoner. During night, however, he dashed through the Spanish posts, and rejoined his regiment. For his bravery, on subsequent days, he was created a Staff-Major of General Perignon's di vision, which formed the advanced guard of the army in Spain. During the last-mentioned year Clauzel was engaged in no less than five battles, and more than sixty combats or partial en gagements. In 1794 he distinguished himself in the victories between La Jonquiere and Figiuerss, and shortly after he was charged by Perignon to carry home and lay before the Govern•. ment sixteen of the enemy's colours. Honoured at length with an Adjutant-Generalship, he was successively employed under the orders of General Grouchy, in the armies of Mayence and Italy. In 1797 he was commissioned to manage the affairs which were then in agitation with the King of Sardinia, and it was into. his hands'that the King finally delivered his abdication. The gentlemanly and urbane conduct of General Clauzel on this occasion se gratified the King that, on Clauzel's refusing to accept of other recompenses, he forced on him the acceptance of a very splendid picture in his gallery, " The Dropsical Woman of Gerard Dow," for which Catherine 11. and Paul I. had offered an enormous sum, and which Clauzel finally placed in the Louvre. At the battle of Novi, General Clauzel commanded the in fantry of reser7e of the left w,ng. At the period of the peace he made part of the expedition to St. Domingo, where his own guard in the first instance amounted to 50 Poles and 600 reserve, while the black Gene rals at the Cape were at the head of 30,000 armed negroes. During the interval occasioned by the death of General Leclerc, and the anticipated arrival of Rochambeau, General Clauzel assumed the whole of the command. At a subsequent period, he discomfited the black insurgents, and made himself master ofall the plain of the North. On his return from St. Domingo, he was employed in Ilol land, under Louis Bonaparte, and in 1806 sent into Italy under the Prince Viceroy. In the following year, he was ordered by Napoleon with a division of the army of Italy to Ragusa, and commanded in that country till 1809. After the battle of Wagram heltook the command of the second corps, and in the absence of the Duke of Ragusa, took command, by the Em peror's order, of the army occupying the Illyrian provinces, ceded by the treaty of Presburg. He was next dispatched to Spain, where he commanded under the Duke d'Abrantcs, General Junot, three brigades of infantry and two of cavalry. With this force he blockaded Astorga, and besieged Ciudad Rodrigo. He made the cam paign of Portugal under INlassena's orders, during which he was severely wounded. On the return of the Emperor from Mos cow, Clauzel was made General-in-Chief of the army of the north of Spain, and moved in counter operations to the Duke of Wellington. Fouche, on one occasion, had the hardihood to denounce him to the Emperor. Clauzel answered imperiously and indignantly. Napoleon approved of the General's answer, and the denunciation was without effect. After the battle of Waterloo Claim.' was comprised in the first list of the ordonnance of the 24th July, 1815, but quitted his command at the end of the same month, to undertake the command of the army of the Loire ; he afterwards embarked in the November of the same year, for the United States, where he took refuge, owing to the state of parties in the kingdom. For some time, in quietude and retirement, he established himself on the bay of Mobile, and, in 1817, formed a planta tion there, where be resided as a cultivator till 1820. He then returned to Europe, to provoke the judgment which he had so licited. He travelled back in the July of that. year into France, when he was acquitted of all charges brought against him by the Government. The scene of his next labours was Africa, where he was sent agains` Abd-el-Kader, with :12,0i'0 men under his command. He destroyed the Emir's capital. of Mascara, and shortly after returned to France. Having again resumed the command in Africa, he attacked another enemy of the French, Achmet Bey, who had garrisoned himself in the city of Constantine, which at the present day is remarkable for the ruins of many ancient Roman buildings. This citadel with its scarp an d counter _ scarp of perpendicular rock, equally inaccessible by miring and bombardment, was besieged, but the French finally were com pelled to make a disastrous retreat, and Marshal Clauzel re turned to Bona, where he dictated a dispatch beginning with these words—" The expedition against Constantine has not h a d cum plete success." Count Clauzel was a Lieutenant-General of the French army, wearing the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour. and a Chevalier of St. Louis. A writer, who was well acquainted with him, draws up his character by adducing the testimony of the two greatest Generals of the age to his merits as a man and a commander. 6, The grand master of our wars," says he, Clause! as on e o f th e fi rs t leaders Naple of en his raalfter such a s u ff rage , t h at o f our o regardedarmie, and G e n i f e , enemy can have equal weight, the English commander Wel lighton, declared during the w ars i n Spain, that he had always regarded General Clauzel as his most redoubtable adversary." History will justify these two opinions.
