Hereafter his motion, though proposed with the best intentions, may be quoted against him as pro posing and defending a partial monopoly. From his failure, and from believing that in all other similar cases when the reduction of a duty is proposed by the Liberals they will be sure to be defeated, we draw the conclusion that they should stick to their principles, and never advocate or propose a smaller protecting duty than the one proposed in the tariff. They ought to re sent the imposition of all protective duties, and, whenever they make any motion concerning them, they ought to propose their total abolition. They are sure, at present, we are aware, to be defeated, but by opposing all pro tecting duties, they preserve, by proposing to modify them they forfeit, their character for consistency. It is, we know, said that such a stubborn adherence to principle makes a man impracticable. But this is not a case of compromise with a view to bringing about the combined action of many individuals. There is no hope of effecting any immediate change in the tariff by such propositions, and to leave the lofty ground of principle, is to sacrifice it without gaining any advan tage. The interest of the community will be better served by having correct principles and important truths enunciated in Parliament, than by making a bundle of new and imperfect laws, which, after they have inflicted all the mischief the people will bear, must be superseded by other laws. When men are required to act together, they must, perhaps, compromise their opinions ; but when they are discussing a subject, it is essential, even to promote their agreement, that each individual fearlessly and honestly express his own opi nions. Above all, when one man or one party is attacking the opinions of another, it is necessary that he take truth and principle to his aid, as the only arms by which he can conquer. We must insist, therefore, that it is the duty of Members of the Opposition, in submitting mo tions which they know will not be carried, not to consult the probable or conjectured opinion of others, but fear lessly to state their own, and to make no propositions which are not in strict accordance with their convictions and their principles. F Mr. VILLIEES acted in this way when he proposed to admit cattle at a nominal duty. He carried out, consist ' ently and honourably, the doctrines of free trade, and though he lost Lord J. RUSSELL'S vote, and the votesof some of the Cavendishes, he had a respectable minority. We should not have been worse pleased had he even cast aside the nominal duty of ls., which was only proposed for the sake of the statisticians of the Board of Trade, echo delight in telling off the human race. The use of such duties is only to enable them to number and record the possessions of individuals, and put the country to an enormous expense by printing a prodigious mass of use less information. Their views, however, are, we know, not now to be slighted, and Mr. VILLIERS acted strictly according to his own principles, when he proposed the nominal duty. We hold up his conduct for the imitation of other Members. They can have no hope of modifying the tariff, and unless, therefore, a principle be at stake, they ought not to meddle with it. Protecting or discriminat ing duties they ought seldom to touch, unless it be to abolish them. Duties for revenue they may acquiesce in ; duties for protection are an abomination in the eyes of a free trader; and his business is to get rid of them, not to modify and continue them. Mr. M. PHILIPS, Lord Howicx, and Sir J. GUEST, were last night obnoxious to the censure we have cast on Mr. WARLEY. They each of them proposed a re duction on the duties on butter and cheese, intended for protection, and will hereafter have the credit of having wished to tax the butter of the people 10s. per cwt., and their cheese 7s. 6d. and ss. These are duties which, for the sake of the people, whose principal food, after bread and potatoes, is cheese and butter, ought to be abolished. That Sir R. PEEL will not make these small reductions is another proof that he cares very little for the working people. We drew attention the day before yesterday to the tender care which the Tories exhibited for the consu mers in Newfoundland, and to their equal disregard of the interests of the consumers in England. Last night brought a parallel case to that of Newfoundland before the House of Commons, and exhibited another specimen of their shameless inconsistency. As long as this coun try must import food at all, such as bacon, butter, hams, the price given or obtained fur the last portion of the ne cessary supply will regulate the price of all the bacon, butter, and hams in the market. If we require, for ex ample, butter from Holland, and hams from America, the price of American hams, and of Dutch butter, plus the duty levied oa them, will determine the price of hams and butter. Accordingly, if American hams can he im ported from Canada, on payment of half the duty imposed on those hams when imported direct, and we require, and can pay for hams directly imported, half of that duty will go into the pockets of the AMericans. Last. night Mr. MILES showed that the freight , of salted meat from New Orleans would be Is. 6d. and the duty Bs. per cwt., together, 9s. 6d. Imported through Canada, the freight would be 4s. ld. and the duty 2s. Gd., making 6s. 7d. per ewt. Similar facts apply to bacon and ham, giving a difference of Bs. per cwt. in favour of the Canadians. We are not advocating the imposition of a duty on salt meat, on bacon and hams, imported into Ca nada, from the United States ; but we cannot see in what this 7 case differs from that of American flour, on which the Ministers have placed a duty, because they would not allow the Canadians to gain 2s. per barrel by the duty when they carried American flour to the inhabitants of Newfoundland. The two cases are identical, and they show that the Ministers will not tolerate the Canadians in obtaining 2s. at the expellee of the consumers of Newfoundland, and they will tolerate them getting Bs. at the expense of the consumers in England. As we have already remarked, the Ministers think the people of England fair game to be plucked as long as they will submit to it. Lord Howler: properly stated, that if Ministers acted on their own principle, they ought to impose a duty on all bacon introduced into Canada from the United States. The Noble Lord suggested a lower rate of duty for all bacon and for all meat, but declined to press his sug gestion, though he was aware of the inconsistency of the Ministers. In one month they propose to tax American flour when it passes into. Canada, in order to prevent the Canadians from sharing the duty on flour levied in Newfoundland; and in the next month they pass a law to enable these said Canadians to share largely in the duty these very Ministers exact from the piople of England, on bacon, hams, and salt meat. A return has been laid on the table of the House of Commons, and printed, of the sums expended in the pur chase of fresh meat, &c., for the use of Greenwich Hos pital, from 1835 to 1841, and of the contract prices of salt provisions supplied to the Navy for the same period, which is well worthy of the public attention. While the working-classes cannot get bread or potatoes, while they are living on dead dogs and rotten cows, and while they are reduced to a state of actual famine, which is not to be paralleled out of India or China, Sir ROBERT PEEL and his considerate friends pretend to relieve them by a measure which is calculated to lower the price of meat, perhaps a halfpenny in the pound. The grounds on which Sir ROBERT PEEL proposes to make this poor reduction, is the gradual, and yet great rise, which has taken place in the price of meat. The public will ri,col ! lea how elaborately he proved, on the 10th inst., in order to soothe his agricultural friends, and demonstrate the necessity of allowing the introduction of foreign cattle, that the rise in the price of meat nad been very extraordinary since the year 1835. Now these returns ; do undoubtedly show a great rise in the price of meat since that period. We shall content ourselves with quoting the beginning and the end of the series, observ ing that the change between the two was gradual and successive. In 1835 the average price of fresh meat purchased for Greenwich Hospital was 40s. 7id. per cwt. ; and in 1841 it was 565. Oid., showing an increase, speaking roughly, of 37 per cent. In 1835 the average contract price of fresh beef for the Navy was 11. 15s. 4d. per cwt., and in 1841 it had risen to 2L 9s. 2d., also an increase of 37 percent. In 1835 the contract price for a tierce of salt beef, was 5L 16s. 7d., and in 1841 it was 71. ss. 4d., an increase of 25 per cent. In 1835 the contract price of a tierce of salt pork was 4/. 14s. Bd., and in 1841 it was 71. 3s. 5d., an increase of 52 per cent. ; a very considerable rise. which amply justifies the cautious Sir R. PEEL in relaxing a little the restriction which confines our people to the area of these islands to obtain their supplies of meat. Sir R. PEEL, however, did not, that we recollect, say anything at the same time about any corresponding rise in the price of wheat. At least we are quite sure that he never dwelt on any equally alarming rise in that be twen 1835 and 1841, as an all-sufficient reason for largely extending the area whence the people, who cannot com mand meat, who rarely or never see it, may procure a supply of wheat, flour, and bread. Now these returns enable us to complete that part of the picture which he left, we believe designedly, unfinished; and when we ha% e laid them before our readers, we believe they will con clude with us, that if the rise in the price of meat be tween 1835 and 1841 required Sir R. PEEL to enlarge the area of the supply, the rise in the price of flour ought to have been much more imperative on him to increase the quantity of bread corn. In 1835 the average price of wheat flour per sack as purchased for Greenwich Hospital was 31s. Old., and in 1841 it was 525. aid., or an increase of 68 per cent. In 1835 the average price of red wheat per quarter was 2/. Os. 4d., in 1841 it was 3/. 9s. 2d., an increase of more than 70 per cent. Thus we see that while between 1835 and 1841 meat rose in the proportion of 37, 25, and 52 per cent., wheat and flour rose 68 and 70 per cent. All the arguments, therefore, which Sir ROBERT PEEL has urged for admitting cattle at a comparatively low duty, tell with nearly double force in favour of extending the area whence our people can obtain wheat and flour. In one part of the Report of the Commissioners on Mines, it is stated that the food of the colliers consists chiefly of bread and butter and bread and cheese. A large number of those hard-working men cannot com• wand meat. They, however, are comparatively well paid, and we therefore conclude that the bulk 6f the labouring classes of this country now consume very little or no meat. They are far less interested, there fore, in the reduction of the price of meat than in the reduction of the price of flour ; yet Sir 11. PEEL, while he pretends to study the interests of the working classes, takes no notice of the exorbitant rise in the price of their provisions, and takes no measure what ever, except the reduction of the nuty on potatoes, to reduce the price of their food. Meat is con sumed chiefly by the rich ; and, particularly in the present circumstances of the people, the reduction caused in its price by Sir R. PEEL'S tariff; whatever it may be, which will, we believe, be very little, will be all for the advantage of the rich. At the same time, it is clear, from the far greater proportionate rise in the price of flour and wheat, the chief food of the labouring classes, than in the rise of the price of meat , t h at a reasona bl e ' and just statesman would have directed his exertions rather to lower the price of the former than the latter. That Sir R. PEEL has taken a different course, while he has pretended to feel for the p oor, is only another proof to be added to the many painful proofs we have already at different times a dduced, that he is one of the greatest deceivers that ever st ood at the head of a nation's affairs. rlhe s e statements They show thatwarrant, the present pri ces o f meat and we think, anot h er obser vation. cattle, on which all the calculations of the Premier, the graziers, and the public have been made, are parts of a general rise in the price of agricultural produce. As cattle are.fed with.that produce, the price must always be in some degree proportionate to the price of drain. Whetherany cattle o n- none be brought into England from foreign countries will tiepend, therefore, on our harveSts, and on the price of wheat in England. We see no reason when the seasons turn, as perhaps they now will, and when the population is nearly starved down, as at pre szan, to the quantity of food produced in average y&tid by England, why prices should not, again decline till they reach the level of 1835. On the contrary, we think Mr. WA.E.LEY , InotiCoa substitute a duty of five on appl es , f ur t h e propose d d uty per cent., ad valorem, of 6d. per bushel, was lost on Tuesday night by a con siderable majority. The majority Would not have been much greater had he proposed to abolish the duty alto gether ; and he committed a mistak e by not making that proposition. He could not possibly have been in a worse .position than to lose his motion, an d then be would have appeared to every person w h o may hereafter 'consult the records of ' the house of Commons, us having propounded the genuine principle of free trade. As his motion was 4 , n 1 rHE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 26, 1842. there are many reasons why such should be the result. Two successive abundant harvests, with no exten sion of trade, of which we see no signs, would bring it about. Under those circumstances, the price of cattle: as well as wheat would fall to about the con tinental level; and the renowned tariff, for which we are to submit to an income-tax, will not introduce into the land a single head of either fat or lean kine. Which ever way our attention is directed to the commercial measures of Ministers, the more firmly are we persuaded that the whole is a great mass of delusion, and those who expect public benefit from such a complification of ignorance, inconsistency, and deceit, will find themselves egregiously mistaken. A curious disclosure was made in the House of Lords on Tuesday night by the Earl of RIPON and the Duke of WELLINGTON. It appears that they were not consulted about the emission of the QUEEN'S Letter to the Clergy, recommending a subscription on behalf of the pour. When asked about it by Lord KINNAIRD, the Noble Earl and the Illustrious Duke said that they were not aware of even the existence of such a letter. Lord COLBORNE had heard it read in church, and Lord KINNAIRD undertook the enlighten_ ment of the Noble Members of her MAJESTY'S Govern ment, by moving that a copy of it might be laid before their Lordships, which was ordered. From this it is clear that the Premier acts in the most important affairs, without the knowledge of some of his colleagues, and that he does not always take even the Illustrious Duke into his confidence. That a measure :fleeting the interests of the working classes should not lave been communicated to the Noble President of the Board of Trade is indeed surprising. But the Premier tnows that the Tories can do nothing without him, and ierefore he treats their idols as scurvily as he pleases. A less important point remains to be noticed. By their own confession it is notorious that the Earl of RIPON and the Duke of WELLINGTON have as yet sub scribed nothing. The nation expects a noble donation from persons to whom it has given so much. Well, they have it in their power to make the donation a memorable one. Let them keep their gold, but give us a free trade in corn. That is the only donation worthy of England's acceptance.

He has the reputation of too much cunning ever to pass for a fool. And yet the Right Hon. Baronet appears wonderfully solicitous to figure in that character. Unless this be so, we cannot comprehend upon what principle he would have the House of Commons and the public be lieve that he has discovered a diplomatic SoLosioN in Captain ELLIOT, of whose tea-pot exploits the world has heard so much. The Gallant Captain, it appears, has had several interviews with the Premier, and quite satisfied him that the Commissioner Las was no match for " now I a great Minister"-ELLIOT, as the modest ex-Plenipotentiary - styled himself in one of his memorable proclamations which excited such merriment at the Celestial Court of Pekin. Now if Sir ROBERT PEEL would keep the Gallant Captain at home, who cut such a formidable figure as Commissioner LiN's prisoner, he might present him with the next vacant Garter, for all the Liberal Press would care about the matter. But Sir RGBERT'S praises of the Captain's "ability," "integrity," and other apocryphal qualities, are thrown out to cover the landing in Texas of this precious diplomatist. Sir R. PEEL dues not lament the appointment of the Gallant Captain as Consul, as one of the embarrassing legacies left him by his predecessors. On the contrary, he is so charmed with the ex-Plenipoten tiary that he adopts him as his own especial pet. Sir ROBERT does not care three straws for public opinion out of doors. It gives him no concern to send a man, whose incompetency has made him a laughing stock, from the Yellow Sea to the Gulf of Mexico, to carry on our relations between this country and the rising republic of Texas. Where a man of energy, of promptitude, and of firmness, is most wanted, the Government is about to send a meddling, wavering, bombastical chatterer, the very mention of whose name the Tex ans will resent as an insult. To the interests of this country the appointment of such a Consul to Texas must prove exceedingly injurious. This is not the opinion of one part of the Press, but ofJournals the most opposed to each other in politics. That no doubt of this may be enter tained, we quote the following article upon the subject, from our venerable Tory Contemporary, the Morning Herald _ _ THE ALDERMAN AND THE TURBOT.--It always giyes us pleasure to see legislators employed on themes suited to their capacity ; thus when certain agricultural mem bers undertook the other -day to defend the interests of their foreign brethren, the colonial asses, we encouraged them in their dutiful task, well knowing that such a sub ject could not possibly be in better hands, and that from the strong inherent force of sympathy, one ass would be sure to do justice to another. For similar rea ons, we feel that we cannot sufficiently applaud Alderman Hum phery's strenuous advocacy on Tuesday night of the interests of turbot and salmon. An Alderman em ployed on such a theme, is strictly labouring in his vocation ; he is doing that for which nature and education alike eminently quality him ; and his opinions, therefore, are deserving of the utmost respect and deference. That Ministers think as we do, is evident from the almost reverential deference with which Mr. Gladstone listened to the worthy Alderman's suggestion respecting the importation of turbot ; he saw that it was the result of profound wisdom and experience, and con ceded the momentous point with the readiest and most engaging suavity. Henceforth, turbots will run no risk of being damaged by the transportation from one vessel to another, and for this inestimable blessing we are in debted to their natural protector—a London Alderman ! In taking leave of this important matter, we must not omit to notice the characteristic burst of gratitude with which the public-spirited Humphery hailed the reduc tion of the duty on salmon! "If ever Sir Robert Peel," he observed with unfeigned emotion, " had granted them a boon, it was upon that article !" The Alderman is right. Compared with such a boon, the Repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts sinks into utter insignificance; and when the Right Hon. Baronet is gathered to the great and good of past ages, we trust that Alderman Humphery will erect a monument to his memory, with this inscription, " Here lies the patriotic and enlightened statesman who reduced the duty on salmon !" --- - Captain Elliot has. then, to go out as Consul-General to Texas. Sir Robert Peel will quickly find out the mistake he allows Lord Aberdeen to unwillingly commit. The represen tative of Queen Victoria will be received at Austin, Houston, at Galveston, whichever may be the seat of Government, when he lands in the new republic, with laughter. 'there is already a contemptuous curiosity , --oommingled wi►h not a little indig nation—in Texas. we learn, to see so rare a diplomatist. sir Hobert Peel, alleges, in defence of his confirmation of Lord Palmerston's appointment, that the intercourse he has had with Captain Elliot leads him to place confidence in his ability to discharge the duties entrusted to him, and that there is noling in his official correspondence which shows that eon ; fidence could not be placed in the recalled Plenipotentiary. lAll that we can say is, that Captain Elliot must have the tongue of an angel if he can charm away from Sir Robert Peel the odium which he has universally inspired, and that his correspondence must be something very diffe rence from his acts if it beget confidence. Captain Elliot may carry from England the confidence of the Cabinet, but he does not possess the confidence of tue nation ; and to reward a public servant for degrading the national reputation is not what was anticipated from Sir Robert Peel and the Duke of Welling ton. We trust, however, that this appointment will yet be formally brought under the consideration of the House of Com mons. Can the appointment of a Consul-General be legal when it is made to a State as yet unrecognised? The Texan treaties are still unratified, The sooner, however, there ism some representative of the British Crown in Texas the better ; he will find plenty to do when he is there ; much that requires great ability and no little tact. President Houston has declared the coast of Mexico to be in a state of blockade, and has established, to some extent, an effective blockade ; already have the combined Texan and Yuca tan navies, amounting, we believe, to about eight small ships of war, eaptured one or two Mexican vessels. Will this block ade be recognised by England? This is a question of great importance to British commerce. is it one on which Captain Elliot's " great abilities" can be of any service? The question, too, of annexation to the United States is not disposed of. There is a powerful party at Washington more desirous than ever that Texas should be admitted into the Union, and divided into two States—one a slave-holding, theother a free State. The coarse that England will pursue will probably decide this ques tion. Can the course of British po'icy be safely trusted to the " great abilities" of Captain Elliot ? AWFUL AND HEARTRENDINIi SCENE. (PROM A CORRESPONDENT.) CHESTERFIELD, MAY 24.—Yesterday evening the peace ful and romantic village of Ashover became the scene of one of the most deplorable and heartrending tragedies that ever oc curred in this, or perhaps any other, country. Mr. Richard Eaton, a gentleman in independent circumstances, about sixty years of age, in loading his gun in the house, to go in pursuit of a mad dog, accidentally shot his son, a youth about 16 or 18 years of age, and immediately after, in the phrensy of the moment, took a pistol and shot himself through the head, and fell dead upon the spot. The gun was loaded with slugs, and its contents first struck the young man's arm, and, after pass ing in an oblique direction and shattering the hone, entered his side. He of course instantly dropped, but he did not expire till about seven o'clock this morning. On seeing his son fall, the father was seized with an agony of grief, and exclaiming— " My dear son ! What shall I do? what shall I do? Nly dear, dear son !"—he took a loaded pistol, rushed out into the gar den, applied the muzzle just below his right ear and fired, when the bullet, after penetrating the head, passed out a little above the left ear, causing instantaneous death. Inquests were this day held over the bodies before Mr. Hutchinson, the Coroner for the Hundred of Scarsdale, and verdicts returned to the effect that the son was accidentally shot, and that the father put an end to his own existence in a fit of phrensy consequent upon the previous accident. Mr. Eaton was a gentleman very highly respected by an extensive circle of acquaintances, to whom his urbanity of manners and his known worth had greatly endeared him. Ht melancholy end will be a subject of unfeigned grief to all who knew him. He has left a wife and daughter who resided with him at Ashover, and a son who is in business in Nottingham. The younger son, who has lost his life as above described, was also an apprentice with Mr. Hicklin, the bookseller in that town, anti had returned to spend a few weeks at home, in consequence of indisposition. What adds, if possible, to the deplorable character of this sad catstrophe, is the circumstance that the elder son was to have been married this day, and the wedding party were to have visited Ashover, in commencing the; tour of pleasure, and preparations were made to receive them, but, alas ! how changed the scene ! . .. _ Ashover is about six miles to the south-west of Chesterfield ; Overton-hall, the seat of the late Sir Joseph Banks, is within about half a mile of the residence of poor Mr. Eaton. Mr. E. was formerly Governor of the County Prison, Derby, and had retired with a comfortable independency, and purchased a pretty little property in Ashover, and was, as it were, the leading man in the Flace. The Railways Bill now before Parliament has been drawn up in such a slovenly manner, and is admitted to be so defective by all parties who have the safety of the public in view, that it would be infinitely better to reject it at once than endeavour to patch up such an abortive piece of legislation: It hardly coil tains one clause that will materially protect the lives of passengers, and has been drawn up, it would seem, to make the public believe that something for their benefit was intended, while absolutely nothing has been done. The few remarks made by Lord RIPON last evening, fully bear out these statements. In answer to a question respecting the locking of carriages on the Great Western Railway, he said inquiry had been made on the subject, and he had learned from the Inspector-General of Railways that it was a most dan gerous practice, and ought not to be continued. He stated further that the Government had no power to interfere ; yet here is a Bill passed through Committee without any clause to remedy the defect, or in any way to modify or abolish a regulation which a paid inspector describes as a dangerous practice. Now, we should like to know what is the use of such a functionary, if he do not point out to his employers the evils of the system, and, above all, such a glaring evil as that which has thrown a gloom over the whOle of France, and which, for aught that Sir J. Cattuar4 or General PASLEY has done, may in a moment afflict this country with a similar calamity. It is" singular, too, that the useful motion of Mr. HARDY received no aid from the Home Secretary, and was knocked on the head by a brief but very illo gical speech from the Chairman of that very railway on which the dangerous practice still prevails. The French Government, aware from sad experience of the fatal conse quences of running passengers' carriages immediately be hind the engine, have decreed that on every line there shall be a luggage waggon between the engine and the car riages; and when the number exceeds five, a second shall be placed, in order to lessen the risk, till some other better remedy be devised. This was the object of Mr. HAttov's motion, which was described as imprac ticable, and rejected with insulting haste, without the slightest allusion to the evidence given before the Railways Committee, in which it was distinctly proved that this precaution had been adopted on one line at least, and, so far from being impracticable or absurd, had been found eminently effective in preventing fatal accidents. The Government, therefore, would do well to reject this Bill, and introduce another, more strict and comprehensive. The time, too, is favour able for such a measure. The scientific men and prac tical engineers of France have for some days been engaged in investigating the causes of the late catas• trophe, with a view to discovering a remedy. Several English engineers and directors of railroads, have pro ceeded to France for the same purpose, and itis therefore reasonable to conclude that, within a very short period, such a mass of information may be obtained as will jus tify the Government in rejecting the present Railways Bill, and enable them to introduce another, based on sound principles, and really calculated to prevent the re currence of such terrible disasters. • AND " Who runs may read," FOREIGN. THE 11 - 111Lticki BUDGET. (From the Constitutionuel of Monday.) M. Etienne, reporter of the Committee charged with the examination of the Bill for definitively regu lating the estimates of 1840, has laid his Report on the bureau of the Chamber. This document, drawn up with a conscientious sagacity, belongs to that class of State papers which put us into possession of the real situation of our expenses and our receipts. Budgets are now becoming merely vague estimates, and the laws of finance, which fix befbrehand the expenses and receipts, are in general so little respected, or so badly combined in their elements, that at the moment of the closing of the estimates, they are always sub jected to important modifications by the creation of supplementary credits. Thus, at the moment when the Chambers voted the supplies of 1840, the budget presented not only an equilibrium between the re ceipts and expenses, but, in addition, a presumed excess of about sixteen millions, the expenses being esti mated at 1,099,913,4871., and the receipts at 1,115,765,222 f. But special laws soon added, in the sessions of 1839 and 1840, further credits amounting to 68 millions, so that the bases of the budget were disarranged, and the equilibrium was already de stroyed at the period when the Eastern question forced the Government to increase its military and maritime forces. The total resources of the year 1840 amounted to the sum 1,242,980,600 f. These receipts were com posed of 1,115,765,222 f. of ordinary resources, of 73,985,0001. appropriated to public works, of 8,847,948£ brought forward from the estimates of 1838 and 1839, of 11,632,871 f. of excess realised from the departmental resources, and of 32,749,558 f. the excess of produce over the original expenses. From these sums must be deducted 17,274,027 f. carried on to the following estimates for de partmental expenses, leaving for 1840 1 ,225,706,5721.; and as the payments effected amount to 1,363,716,102 f., the deficit of receipts of the esti mates of 1840 is fixed, by the Bill presented to the Chamber, at 138,009,529 f. This deficit affects the ordinary expenses to the amount of 48,597,732 f., and on extraordinary expenses for 89,411,790 f. In 1839 the budget presented an excess in receipts of more than three millions, and the last report on the bill of accounts has announced that the expenses had been completely paid with the ordinary revenues laid apart for that purpose, without there being any necessity for applying to such funds of the other estimates as might be free. It is to such a position that we ought to return, but unfortunately the budget of 1843 does not present , itself in such a way as would lead us to hope for such a result. It shows at the present moment a deficit of 33 millions, without our foreign policy im posing on us the same sacrifices as in 1840. Besides the deficit already stated, the Committee on the bud get specifices certain necessities which will absorb considerable sums. Already 1,800,000 f. have been de manded for the Valais de Justice at Rouen; the effec tive force of the army in Africa is only put down at 38,000 m en — a number altogether below the most favourable probability. No credit has been provided for the transatlantic steam packets. The interest to be paid for the emission of a further portion of the loan are not comprised in the credits which have been demanded, neither have the expenses of the central prisons, nor the premiums on the whale and cod fishery, Btc., been provided for. Supplementary and extraordinary credits will reveal to us all the chasms in these estimates, and will show, as to the expenses, an enormous difference between the finances and the estimates. Almost all the committees give proofs of these anomalies, and that on the accounts of 1840 gives also, through 1. Etienne, salutary warnings to the Government. We desire with all our heart that the Government may take the warning, and be more exact and regular for the future in its calculations. The Droit gives the following as a communication made to it, but declines vouching for its truth :—" During the late catastrophe at Meudon, a child, five years old, who was in one of the burning waggons, was put out of the window by a lady who sat beside it, and held until a man, dressed as a coun tryman, received it in his arms, and carried it out of danger. The parents have since made every search and inquiry for it, without being able to discover it. All they have been able to learn is, that the man was seen with it in his arms crossing the fields at a distance from the fire. The concea.ment is the more extraordinary, as the child was very intelligent, and could give the names of its family, with every particular that might be required. I n f orma ti on h av ing been given to the Prefect of Police, officers'are by his order actively engaged in all direc tions in endeavouring to recover the child." The_i popularity of her Majesty's Ministers is so great n rt. Pancras, that a petition has been prepared, to be presentedla.he r Majesty, praying her Majesty to dismiss them from hersouneils. From what we have heard of the petition, we Piave nn doubt it niil be numerously signed by - great num bers of that class wham the Ministers have tried all they could to bribe into supporting them, There - is no political news in the Paris journals, save what is contained in our Foreign Summary. It is afErmed that Count Mole intends to .publish the - speech which he delivered or. the 17th of Alay; - in the - Cliawrber Peers, on the right of search. The Noble Peer, it is said, will add notes which will throw great light on this question. In a coneistery held at Rowe on the 9th of May, M. de SUMMARY OF NEWSY public eptuton. The leading articles of the Paris papers of Monday possess no general interest, being on subjects with which the public is already acquainted. We may, however, make exception to one in the Constitutionnel, on the Budget. It will be found in another column, under a proper head. The Minister of the 31arine, says the Commerce, has sent express orders to all the ports at which steam-vessels are on the stocks, to have them finished with the utmost expedition. 'The Constitutionnel, considered the special organ of M. Thiers, contains on the subject of the right of search a long and most violent article against M. Gu'zot, who is held up as the only French Minister, who, to remain in office, wilfully sacrifices the honour of his country. The Moniteur Parisien, having stated that it is the inten tion of the French Government to raise the duty on linen threads imported into France to 20 per cent., as soon as the present session shall have closed, the Courrier Francais has an article in which it strongly condemns the conduct of the Government on the subject. The Minister of Marine then brought forward a Bill for determining the strength of the navy of Spain, which is to be fixed as follows :—One line-of-battle ship, four frigates, one corvette, nine brigs, eight schooners, four steamers, nine ves sels of smaller dimensions, making a naval force of 36 vessels. The crews are to be fixed at 3,260 men, and the marine artillery at 2,400, making altogether 5,660 working hands. Barcelona papers of the 17th represent that city as being in a state of great uneasiness. The Carlist bandit chief Felip, who was supposed to have taken refuge in France, had re-ap peared in the mountains of Upper Catalonia with more nume rous forces. The Constitutional says that it is able to announce, from a good source, that the French authorities lately captured four of those brigands who had arrested Luis Plantes de Tortilla, and conveyed him to France. Our accounts from Madrid are of the 16th inst. The ban quet givr n by the Regent on the preceding evening commenced at seven o'clock and terminated about midnight. Mr. Aston, the Duke de Glucksberg, the Ministers of Mexico and Bel gium, the Captain-General, the Military Governor, the Poli tical Chief, the Presidents of the Supreme Tribunals, the Queen's Guardian, the Intendant of the Civil List, the Pre ceptor of the Queen, the Patriarch of the Indies, the Duke of Baylen, M. Olozaga, and a number of other notable persons were among the Regent's guests. In the Madrid Chamber of Deputies the report of the Com mittee on the Bill relative to the ►evy of a contingent of 25,000 men was brought up and read, in which it is proposed that CCM scnpts in the infantry shall serve eight years, and those in the cavalry seven. Some disturuances took place at Seville on the 10th, 11th, and 12th, among the workmen employed at the tobAcco manu factory. The cries of " Death to the Regent! " and " Viva la Republica ! " were shouted by some of the rioters ; but the prompt and energet►c measures of the local author sties soon re stored order. Also, at Chiclana, near Cadiz, serious disturb ances broke out on the I th, occasioned by a tax imposed by the ayuntamiento, for fitting out the provincial militia. A troop of cavalry was sent against the mutineers, who had several wen killed and a great number wounded. A letter from Alexandria, 26th ult., in the Leipsic Gazette, states, that the chief of an Abyssinian tribe, at war with Egypt, having been taken prisoner in a conflict with some Egyptian troops, Mehemet Alt has ordered that he shall be retained as a hostage unfit M. Blonde!, the Belgian Consul, who, whilst tra velling in Abyssinia, was made a prisoner by this tribe, on the pretext of his being a spy, shall have been released. The Cologne Gazette states that the Dervish who has ac companied the Turkish Ambassador to Vienna was lately pre sented to the Princess de Metternich. At his entrance into the drawing-room, he flung a rose in the face of the Princess, which caused some surprise. This was, however, speedily dis sipated when he declared that it was the custom of his order to salute ladies of distinction in this manner. The famous Hurseff Pacha has got a pension of 30,000 piastres per month, with liberty to move about freely, instead of being cooped up in his country house. The ex-Grand Vizier, Rana* Pacha, has also a similar pension, and some people judge from this that the present Vizier, lzett .ilehmed Pacha, will, at no dis►ant period, require such an allowance, by being placed on the retired list. His zeal ter ieligion amid firmness have mad,: him many enemies among the Franks, but he has been an ad mirable Minister to the Turks. PAAL.I.A. ENTARY. The House of Lords did not meet yesterday. The House of Commons met as usual, and was engaged the whole evening with the Tariff, in which, we are happy to say, they made considerable progress. Three divisions took place, the first on a proposition of Lord Howick, to reduce the duty on butter from 20s. per cwt. to 108., which was lost by 115 to 50; the second, on a proposition of Sir John Guest, to reduce the duty on cheese from 10s. tid. per cwt to 55., which was lost by 82 to 37 ; and the third on copper ores. Mr. Palmer brought forward his amendment, to keep on all the present duties on vegetables, exhibiting the Conservatives as anxious to withhold food from the people; but his proposi tion was too monstrous, and met with so little support, that the Hon. Member did nut press it. 'the House sat till a quarter past One o'Clock, and get through the tariff as far as the metals. PUBLIC OPINION. We take the following from the Chronicle: —" An analysis of the division on Mr. Miles's motion on Monday night gives the following results:— Against. 212 Tories 168 Liberals For. 86 Tories `27 Liberals 113 380 Tories who voted for Mr. Miles Liberals present Supposing the whole Liberals present had roted with the 66 Tories, Sir Robert Peel would have been lett in a minority of Sir R. Peel, as all who have paid any attention to the de bates in Parliament must remember, never omitted, Oh all oc cassions, taunting the Whig Mintstry with their obagations to him for supporting them against their own friends. It happens, oddly enough, that, thus early in his Government, he should be reduced to the predicament. of owing his saf , ty to his oi po• rents. The fact is the more striking, as it is nut on an ~ 11i1111. portant question he has teals been indebted to his political op ponents, but one which he deems the boast of nis administra tion. The measure which he has dwelt on, affording to the country a conTensation for the Income-tax, is the one which would have been thrown out but for the sup port of the Liberals. It may not be amiss here to notice, in connexion with this circumstance, the avowal made in Mon day night by Mr. Golly Knight. He did not hesitate to admit that the Tories did not see anything objectionable in the free trade principles of the Whigs—had no fault to find with their budget—but, disliking the Whigs, opposed their measures merely to displace them. '‘ When they were taunted by Hon. Gentlemen opposite with their sudden conversion to free-trade principles—(Loud cries of Hear, hear,' from the Opposition) —he would take leave to inform those Hon. Gentleman, that it was not of those principles they had been afraid ; it was Radi calism they dreaded They had never been afraid of coffee or sugar—( Hear, hear)—or any such minor considerations."—(Laughter.) In short, the opposit.on to the Budget was founded in no hostility to the Budget. The Tories viewed the Budget merely as aftbrding them an opportunity of trying the strength of their party. The farmers were, no doubt, under a contrary impression. They were taught to be lieve that the Tories really viewed the Whig measures as fraught with ruin to the agriculture of the country, and in that belief they gave them the most strenuous support at the last election. This may have been very deter; but the worst of these experiments on general credulity is, they do not bear re petition. e have never failed to notice with satisfaction the liberallanguage held by Sir Robert Peel and Mr. Gladstone in the course of these discussions. The conversion appeared to us complete, in as far as srincipies were concerned, however much the application might fall short ; and we only regretted that the conversion had not been effected prior to the Budget of 1841, that the country might have been spared the infliction of the long delay which has taken place before receiving the benefit of measures for the relief of trade. The Times says :—" The much-expected motion of Mr. Miles has at last come on, and gone off. It has, of course., proved what every one knew it would prove, a demonstration of displeasure et nihil amplius,' Sir R. Peel finding himself, at the end of the debate in a majority of 267. We are glad to see the temperate tone taken by those who opposed the Govern ment measure, and not less glad that their opposition has been ineffectual. Indeed the motion never had the appearance of a winning horse. Even if it had been carried, it would have lett the fanner in a state of most complete uncertainty whether his protection was to be increased or diminished—it merely pro posed that' the duties to be levied on all live stock imported from foreign countries, for the purposes of food, be taken bq weight.' They were to be charged at so much the hundred weight, instead of so much the head. It is clear, however, as was pointed out in the course of the debate, that the question in which the farmer is really interested is, that of the amount of duty, not of the manner of its levying. He could not pos sibly know whether Mr. Miles's proposal were to be a gein or a loss to him, till he heard whether the duty of 20e. a head now proposed by Sir R. Peel, were to be superseded by one of Is. or of Bs. a hundred weight. The Members of the Government, however, who spoke on Tuesday evening, rightly addressed themselves, not so much to the terms of Mr. Miles's motion, as to the feeling which it is understood to indicate, and laid down in a clear, manly, and convincing way, the grounds of their proposed Change. ' The Post thus pithily comments on a remark let drop by Sir Robert Peel in the House of Commons on Monday last : " Sir Robert exclaimed on Monday evening,' I wish we could make a considerable reduction in the price of meat.' It might, perhaps, have been not less patriotic to e x p ress a wish that the means of consumption enjoyed by thy labouring closes might. be increased. The two wishes are by no means identical. A lowered price of meat by no means involves increased means of consumption by the labourers. to whom meat is now, in many cases, a forbidden luxury. When Sir Robert. Peel wishes that he could make considerable reduction in the price of meat,' he might, not unfairly, perhaps, be teqrsted to specify in wiiat element in the price of meat he would desire to see the reduction effected? Would Sir Robers rejoice to see the reduction in price effected at the cost of :the grazier ? The grazier gene rally loses by fattening stock. He is enabled to su,tain that, loss, only in consequence of the increased facilities for farming which the fattening of stock places at his disposal. " Would Sir Robert rejoice to see a reduction in the price of meat effected at the expense of the labourers, to whom the rearing; and fattening of stock furnishes employment? Scarcely—for Sir Robert laments the diminishing means of consumption now at the disposal of the labouring classes? Or, finally, would Sir Robert Peel rejoice to see a reduction in the price of meat effected at the expense of the owners of land? If so, then it might be well, if sir R. Peel would inform the landowners of England, that he deems the returns which they now receive from their investments in the soil exhorbitant. These returns may be equivalent to two and a half .per cent." The Herald cursorily remarks, in a leading article on the subject of the tariff:—" Mr. Miles professed an intense admi ration of the principle of comeensation which Sir Robert Peel's commercial proposition offered for his compulsory aug mentation of public burdens; but from such compensation he was proposing to strike out the most important item. Chea;i coffee, butter, bread, and cheese, are all very good things ; but cheap meat is, we venture to ,think, a much better thing. Sir R. Peel's Scotch correspondent thought cheapness of all sorts of provisions—save herrings —very desirable. Mr. Miles opines that dear meat is the only exception that ought to be in ado to a general reduction in the cost of living. The shoemakersapprOve of every reduction save that of boots and shoes. Major Beres ford's Channel clients loudly demand that the present prices of cod and turbot be supported. The cork-cutters allege that it' is a monstrous injustice to lower the price of British cut corks ; while some of Mr. G. Bankes' constituents protest against the freer admission of foreign stones. The same vice runs through all these objections ; the interests of the con sumer is wholly overlooked that high prices may be maintained. We shall be told that push this argument to its full extent, and the Corn-law is indefensible ; but this is not se; bread is . the basis of food, and its price -.the regulator of wages e these considerations remove the Corn-law from the application 'of this principle ; law trite of bread cannot compensate A people fbr deptfidesce ; but the same proposition cannot be predicated of any othei cotiinindity;' MONEY—TRADE — COMM ERCE.

To say that the Derby of 1842. re'''' sessed, in the eyes of the sporting world,. an interest c'` - inensurate with the Derbys of former years, would be '''' palpable exhibition of ignorance as tcre hat sportingA people feel with respect to the disreputable otrcuerj, etanees attendant on the memorable race,- in whir,'„, Coronation was the wiener, of 1841. Every Alee'''' 7 ,, anxious or interested he the continued and h o nourable", prosperity of the terf, will see, at half a - gleec e f i l the untoward (we use any thing but a harsh -• er, : '', Chet) matters to which we allude.

This has been fully` i evidenced in what, we iney teem " the turf moll . : ,:. market."

The thousands who annually r Epsom, are quite careless about the settlements at le,,c tsrsall's, and whether Mr. So and So beetnne a detiatatt or not, simply furnishes them with small talk for a •vi t , • or two, and is then fiirgotten.

With these observations we will rapit'? sketch the leading features of the Derby of this )ear. .., It is a very evident filet that horse-racing is becoreq`; every day more and more a favdtirite amuse-19qt r' of the English public, and particularly with the 101 tropolitan portion of it ; and in order to render it ree l .; interesting to themselves, they have established !. ( 1 almost every public parlour—we had almost tap-room—far and near, Derby and St. ,Leger Cl l _,'''''-• by means of which, and small - weekly snbscriptie"; they have a slight pecuniary stake dependent ''''' those races. In consequence of this, an exteoeit though not deep excitement is kept alive ; and all Ott who have drawn a horse, or horses, at one or more these Clubs, are anxious to see them run.
