EVENING EDITION ma nufacturing t o w n: , and not the a gr i cu lt ura l.—( Hear, i r e ar- ) They could no t disp.rnse with the foriegn trade. I L "es very tru e th a t th e y m i g ht go b ac k t o s h ee p- s kin s 1 and leather clothing if they pleased, but be fancied that as long as the people of Eng lend could import fine sheep weal and flax, and could depend on fereign cou itries for the suPPly, that they would not resort to coarser clothing. If they could not meet France and the other Continental testes on equal terms in the manufacture of goods, the re sult would be that a great mass of the population would be thrown out of employment, end an intensity of distress would Le cr eate d which the world had never witnessed before.—( Hear, hear.) He would endeavour to show, as far as his humble ability would enable him, what would be the effect of a repeal; and, first, he would endeavour t's demonsteate what would be the advantage of Proceeding in the, present system, supposing the com petition of the Continental manufacture was going on .increasing. They all remembered that about 60 or 70 Years ago there arose men of great inventive genius, such as Watt, Arkwright, Crompton, and others. Those men Invented steam engines, and enabled one man to multiply c ommodities. The peace of 1814 and 1815 came, and the nations of Europe began to reflect upon those circum stances that would make them great and powerful. The foreign manufacturers had by degrees gone on increasing hi skill and industry, and they were approaching us so cloi eg • • • y it, their manufactures that if we allowed the pre sent state of things to continue those bad effects would follow which he had endeaveured to point out. No one could tell them better than the Chairman what an eaten eve competition w a s s till g o i n g on u p on th e C ont i nent . It the Corn-laws were continued, and that competition increased year by year, the effect of it would be to due the price of every manufactured article, and the prices in the kingdom would consequently have to be reduced to the level of th e C ont i nenta l manu f acturers. Wh at wou l d be the next consequence? Why, either the profit of the capitalist m ust f a ll, or t h e wages o f l a b our must di m i n i s h . id at the effect would fall on the wages of labour most inevi tably,i. and nothing cou ld p reven t it. What would b e t h e et :et of di m i n i s hi ng the prof i ts of the ;capitalist? Why, he ouid no longer embark his capital in any new specula th'lla• If, therefore, the Corn-laws were continued, the foreign manufacturer would be able to accumulate capital and to purchase machinery, so that by and bye, the repeal of the Corn -laws would avail the English manufacturer i nt hing. If the Corn laws were repealed at this tim e , the progress of foreign manufactures would be stopped.— (Hear hear.) His conviction was, that if the Corn-laws had been repealed 10 years ago, there would not have been any fall in th e rate o f wages. B ut if t h e L eg i s l ature de termined to maintain the Corn laws, they might depend u p o n it, that every day that was passed over without ' their repeal, would be giving to the continental menu lectures such a power, that when the repeal did t ke Place, the advantage would be nothing. Mr. ,flint then refer red to a work entitled " British Hus erandry,” published by the Society for the Diffusion of f ormers Knowledge, for the purpose of showing that the isrmers were extremely ignorant as to the best and most Improved methods of cultivating their land. The agricul tur:sts were so stupid as to adhere to the old methods of cul tivating their land—they said " their fathers had cultivated On such a plan, and they would do the same." What he would ask w ou ld b e t h e e ff ec t o f a free competition with Goe foreign m ar k ets ? Why th a t ea ch count r y wou ld b e pelled to adopt the best method of cultivation, la ill would th us be better able to pay their ve nts; and then, instead of being, as at the present mo env, the slaves and dependants of the landlords, the formers would be free and independent men.—(Cheers.) one great effect of the repeal would be to lift the conti nental prices—it b 1 would remove continental capital from ug employed in manufactures for the purpose of agri culture, atid they would then be induced to change their c orn for the manufacture of that country, and the upshot of the whole would be that they would be placed on an r'equality with the continental nations as to the price of a 00,1 ..."-( Hear and c h eer s.) They would then be able to eempete with the continental manufactures and go on is an e qual and fair race with them instead of racing with them °"rweighted as they now were.—( Hear, hear.) He was glad , to hear the statements made by Mr. Edmonds, as to t ue efforts made by certain classes to defeat their objects, tab' though they bad separate and distinct interests from :ri• The re was no separat i on o f i n terests, or, if there pa reee, it arose f rom unequa l an d unjust legislation, which °„d the two clas ses i n an unequal position.

One other remark and he had don e. rs of He protested against the question of the re peal of the Corn -laws being c onsidered a ques tion a ff ecting a c 1 i -me m e „ as s —it was not a ' question affecting the manufacturers, or those m erely en- gaged in trade —it was a question affecting the whole com 'nullity, be they connected with trade, commerce, or re agri eeuleure.......e k -ear.) He p ro tested against its being consi `lerc 'I even a nati ona l question—it was a question affecting t heri, iaterests and happiness of all mankind.—( Cheers. ) Th ey were endeavouring not to injure the commerce or r Qs Peetty of any other country by repealing the Corn :18, but they were endeavouring to give every encourage i e t to increased manufactures and commerce at home, lel through that increase to promote the diffusion of know u.e, and civilization, and happiness.--( Loud cheers.)

What was to be done ? Their representatives were going to tell the Legislature—to tell them misery was stalking and staring them in the face. If they failed in their attempt, he hoped from every village, hamlet, town, and "valley there would arise a voice of thunder, loud as:the trump of the Archangel who is to awake the dead; a voice declaring that the accursed system shall be put an end to. . A Wortsa NG MAN got up and said he thought the object of the Delegates would not produce the effects anticipated. Mr. Beiteita, of Preston, came'forward and he would be very brief, but the facts brought forward had been so clear, that if the Duke of Buckingham had beeu here, he must have been made a convert. With respect to Sir R. Peel he had declared his conviction that the present system ought to be maintained. And as to Sir F. Burdett, he (Mr. Barker) heard Sir F. Burdett say, he was convinced that the facts stated by Mr. Vlll hers, and that the agricultural people with whom he was con nected, entertained erroneous views on the subject. Lord Howick had thought that there was no necessity for inquiry, his mind had been made up long ago, that the Corn-laws ought to be repealed, whilst Mr. Cayley and others, opposed the repeal a'together. Taking all these things into consideration, he asked whether this did not prove the necessity for inquiry. He trusted that the Delegates would be able to watch the proceed ings of the House of Commons on Tuesday next, and see how those Members voted, who said they were convinced that no inquiry was needed, for the Corn-law should be repealed. In conclusion, he declared that nothing would satisfy him but a total aild unqualified repeal of the Coen-laws.—( Loud cheers. ) The CHAIRMAN then put the resolution, which was passed. Mr. COBDEN then moved the third resolution, but would not detain the meeting, inasmuch as there ,vas a Gallant C olonel present, whose Catechism on the C-ern-laws he hoped they would not be deprived of on the prese'nt occasion. He hoped that before Col. Thompson left town he might be prevailed upon to give lectures in that room to some three or four thousand individuals,when he would, peaceably but effectively,answer the allegations of the working man who had just spoken. Besides, the Ministers owed responsibility as Representatives of the People, as well as Cabinet Ministers. First of all, there was Mr. Poulett Thomson, who sits for Manchester, but who held his seat upon honourable terms, because he gave up one seat to take the one for Manchester.--( Hear, hear, hear. ) He was brought forward by a party upon whose banners were the words" The Repeal of the Corn-laws." There then wee Lord John Russell, who had been rejected by the landed aristocracy of North Devon, whO had now taken refuge amongst the manu facturers of Stroud. There was Lord Palmerston, who had been driven from South Hampshire, and had taken refuge amongst the lace manufacturers of Tiverton. Lord Alorpeth, who had been returned by the manufac turers and spinners of Yorkshire. Lord Howick sat for Northumberland, and it was not difficult to believe that he was sent there by the towns of Newcastle, Gateshead, and other places. There was Mr. Spring Rice, the representative of Cambridge, who had been sent by the traders there. There were other members of the Government, who were not in the Cabinet, such as Mr. Wood, the Member for Halifax, who, he thought his friend Mr. Ackroyd would say, was not returned by the landed interest. There was Mr. E. J. Stanley, the Member fir North Cheshire, who had been returned by the manufac turers of Stockport, Hyde, and the neighbourhood, and not by the landed irate , s-, They must see that these Members did their duty as representatives of the people, and then they would not want their services as Cabinet Ministers.—( Cheers.) He would rather see the Ministry go before the country on this question and consult the interests of those who sent them to Parliament s Mr. HOLLAND, of Liverpool, briefly addressed the meeting and spoke against the principle of the Cabinet standing neutral on this question; and the landed interest having passed the Poor-law Amendment Act, justice required a repeal of the Corn-law. Mr. WEIR, of Glasgow, next came forward and said that the resolution recognised most important principles, declaring the fact, that whoever undertook to wield the destinies of a mighty empire, ought to possess sufficient knowledge and sufficient strength:of character to enable them to discharge the high duty and office to which he aspired. This was a question which would shew whether or not the Ministry were capable of seeing the truth,—and seeing the truth, show their desire to act upon it, or at once aelmit their incapacity to fill their high station.—( Cheers.) Well did he remember the fesment which pervaded the little provincial town in which he was bred, upon the passing of this abominable law, and increasing years h.d enabled him (Mr. We'r) to understand that there had been passed by an aristocratical oligarchy skulking behind the military living on the vitals of the people.—(Cheers.) For many years had this country groaned under the burdens of a war—a war commenced for no national purpose—a war under taken by the aristocrats of Burnie against the rights of the people. For years had the people seen blood shed like waters, and when peace arrived what was the fruit? The first step of the oligarchy was to remove, by an enactment of the Houses of Legislature, toremove the burdens which formerly rested upon their shoulders, in the shape of the property tax, on to the shoulders of the people, by enacting the Corn-laws. They were so blind as not to bear in mind the old proverb—" 11l gotten money cannot prosper ;" words of wisdom were spoken by a few only of the Members who dared to assert the people's rights in the House of Commons. They were told that if this additional burden was imposed upon the manufacturer, the country would suffer, but they killed the goose that laid the golden egg in searching for the hidden treasure, and now found out the consequences. He (Mr. Weir) was in Frankfort, in Germany, some time, where in the ;ime of war Napoleon ordered all British made goods to be burnt, and he began to wonder how the people of that country contrived to manage without the English goods, but he was informed by his friend that Napoleon himself could not prevent the introduction of the English manufactures, for the shops were again speedily supplied, but that which Na poleon with his army could not effect had been fully accomplished by the suicidal enactment of the Corn-laws, by the English Legislature. He (Mr. Weir) had spoken to some of the medical men in large towns upon the subject of the occurrence of the typhus fever amongst the pcor people, and those gentlemen were of opinion that the cause of the more fatal nature of the disease amongst the labouring clae-es was their spare diet, which did not give them strength to withstand the typhus.— (Hear.) This was one of those questions which the Ministry dare not blink under the name of an open question ; and by it they ought to stand or fall.— ( Cheers.) If a question was an " open question," it was a symptom of something being rotten in the state of Denmark.— (Cheers.) He warned the Ministry to reflect upon the course pursued by Mr. Canning, and he thought that he needed scarcely to apply this observation to any body of men more than to the Ministry on sufferance. Ministries might fade, factions might rise or fall to ruin, but truth and justice must prevail. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN then put the resolution, which passed. Mr. WHIGHAM moved the fourth resolution, which was se conded by Mr. AKROYD, of Halifax. Colonel Teromesoo came forward amidst loud cheers, and supported the resolution. He said that from the resolutions which had been passed, it was quite clear that they would be met by the perplexing question, " What is to be done next ?" In point of fact it was clear that they were to go back to Lon don to push, to the best of th'eir united ability, such portions of the question as might yet remain to be brought before the House of Commons. But after that, what next? They, of course, formed expectations according to their peculiar habits and mode of thinking. It was hard to expect of any man that he would be able to foretell, or that he should look into futurity; but it would not be difficult to say, that there must be something more. In point of fact, he would rejoice to see something like the establishment of an arrangement for a Committee—annually, half-yearly, or, perhaps, even quarterly, which should assemble in some of the principal commercial towns of the country, in the same manner as had been adopted in the scientific societies. He should hope to see troops of lecturers go fo th,—oh, how could any ardent, highly talented young man employ himself better than in fitting himself for such an occasion ! Bright and cheering was the prospect for such an undertaking, for " the harvest was large and the labourers were few."—(Loud cheering.) Neither was it amongst the manufacturing population alone that such information would be desirable. He could assure the meeting, from some small experiments that he (Colonel Thompson) had been able to make, that the first fore-knowledge of the subject was as nearly the same in the agricultural labourer as it was in the manufac turing labourers. They had began to find that they had been ,kept in the dark ; they were puzzled by the question being put whether their condition had been made worse by the operation of these laws, and they were ashamed to say " Yes." They invariably admitted that they had been brought to a state of suffering by that which we complain of as being universally unjust. —(eTheers. ) He felt proud to say that he had fol lowed in the wake of the landedinterest, and would agree with the Member for West Yorkshire, who suggested that they should endeavour to make allies and not enemies of the agriculturists. He referred to a case of a recent agricultural meeting, which, although it was held in the principal market town of an agri cultural district, the number of attendants amounted to the astonishing number of seventeen souls. So that it appeared that although the landlords could drive the farmers to sign peti tions in favour of the Corn-laws, they could not drive them to make them hear their talk. The Galiant Colonel, after other observations, censured the conduct of the Chartists, whom he termed " politicians in disguise, or disguised politicians," and replied to the remarks of the Chartist who had spoken. They tried their hands at attempting to get their demands, and had done but badly, and the best course for them to adopt would be to give up some of the extremity of their demands, and see if they could then find in the other classes a disposition to go along with them ( Hear, hear, and cheering)— and say " we must have something; if one thing is not to be had we must take something less." In conclusion he called upon all persons to unite for the accomplishment of the great object which they had in view.—( Loud cheers. ) The resolution was then put from the chair and passed. Mr. KINLOCH, of Kinloch, delegate from Dundee, moved the fifth resolution, :which was supported by the Mayor of Man chester (who was loudly cheered) the Hon. J. Erskine Murray, of Edinburgh, and a working-man, named Patrick Spence, and passed unanimously. Mr. PAOLTON having responded to tl.e call of the meeting, the Chairma i left the Chair, which was taken by Mr. John etone, of Glasgow, and the thanks of the meeting were voted to Mr. Gregg for his conduct in the Chair. The meeting separated at 20 minutes before Eight o'clock. The following are the remaining resolutions : " That the statesmen who undertake to administer the affairs of this commercial empire ought to bring to the responsible task not only a comprehensive knowledge of its interests, but also a decision of character adequate to the due application of their principles in all great emergencies. The repeal of the Corn and Provision-laves being a measure admitted, not only by its advocates but by its opponents, to be of the most vital im portance to the empire, cannot with justice or safety be made an open question by any Administration. This meeting, never theless, beheld with regret that upon the late division on Mr. Villiers' motion the Queen's Ministers declared their neutrality as a Cabinet upon this great national question, thereby abandon ing the exercise of one of its most important f unctions." " That the Delegates having received fresh powers from their constituents to adept whatever ulterior measures they may deem conducive to obtaining a total and immediate repeal of the Corn and Provision-laws, and learning th a t on T ues d ay even i ng Mr. Villiers brings en a motion in the House of Commons, the de legates forthwith adjourn to London, and that the first meeting take place at Brown's Hotel, Palace-yard, at eleven o'clock, on Monday morning next, the 11th instant." " That learning that on Tuesday evening Mr. Villiers brings on a motion in the House of Commons, the Delegates do forth with adjourn to London, and that the first meeting take place at Brown's Hotel, Palace-yard, at twelve o'clock on Tuesday morning next, the 11th instant." MANCHESTER, MARCH S.—THE COTTON TRADE.—The improvement in the value of goods, which was obtained on Tuesday still continues, but since that day the sales have been comparatively nothing, arising however from the circumstance that manufacturers are demanding still higher prices, but which buyers are unwilling to pay. The tendency for cotton in Liverpool to go still higher makes it extremely uncertain for either spinners or manufacturers to make their calculations. In Yarns, the same re marks apply ; hut a large business indeed might be done at Tuesday's rates, These, however, the spinners steadily reject, feeling quite confident that the greatly re duced production will enable them in a few weeks to com mand their own terms. 1„ STATE Or T R ADE.-WOOl is firm ; uo altera tion in yarns or labour.

EDWARD DIVETT, Chairman. AT a MEETING of the MANCHESTER ANTI-CORN-LAW ASSOCIATION, held on the Sth inst., in the Corn Exchange, and attended by upwards of 3,000 persols, t• receive the Report of the Delegates on their return from London, the following resolutions were unanimously agreed to, viz.:— That this meeting offers its cordial thanks to the gentle men of the delegation for their exertions in London, and highly approves of their resolution not to remain there after both Houses of Parliament had refused to hear evidence of the inju rious effects of the Corn-laws ; and this meeting welcomes them back, with the assurance of their determination to renew, with increased zeal, their labours for the total destruction of the monopoly of the landowners." " That this meeting, having •learned with mingled feelings of surprise and indignation the fate of the petition pre sented by the manufacturers and traders to the Houses of Lords and Commons, praying to be allowed to prove at their bars the ruinous tendency of the Corn and Provision Laws upon the commerce of the country, declares as its deliberate opinion that the refusal even to listen to the complaints of the victims of those laws is an example of unreasoning op pression unsurpassed in this or any other civilised country. Being thus repul,ed in the attempt to expose to Parliament and to the world their own individual wrongs, this meeting re com mends to the manufacturing and commercial bodies to agi tate the question of the Corn-laws henceforth, not as a sec tional but as a national question, to extend the right hand of fellowship to the suffering agricultural labourer and cultivator, to make common cause with all the town-populations of the empire, and to rouse the best enei - gies of the whole people to throw off, by a united effoi t, the most baneful and destructive laws ever• devised by a Legislature."

Lord ELLENBOROUGH inquired whether the Colonial Secretary had not some further information to lay before their Lordships relative to Canada, particularly in rela tion to Crown lands and emigration. The Marquis o NORMANBY bad no other reports, but he understood there were two-one on the state of the Clergy, the other on education—which he expected to receive, and which would be laid on the table. The Earl of Dust- HAM here said he had a report from the Bishop of MONTREAL on the state of the Clergy. That on edu cation bad not arrived. He had drawn up a Bill for a general registry, and for the commutation of feudal tenures ; and all the materials in his possession should be placed in the hands of the Government. The Earl of RADNOR, at the request of Earl Fitz- WILLIAM, fixed the 14th for the discussion on the Corn laws, but intimated that it might not take place on that day. _ _ Lord BROUGHAM moved for some returns to show the working of the Bankrupts y Court, to the efficacy of which the LORD CHANCELLOR bore his testimony. Lord LYNDHURST again adverted to the insult offered by Prince de JOINVILLE to the British flag, and made a statement on the subject that will be read with painful interest. Unhappily the explanation given by the Earl of MINTo was not calculated to put an end to that painful interest, and if it were quite clear that there had been sufficient time for the present Government to have received information on the subject, we should be prone to form an un pleasant conclusion. Both at the Admiralty and at Vera Cruz our authorities appear not to have formed the same opinion of this important subject as has been formed by the people of England, and have not, there. fore, been so prompt and decisive as they probably ought to have been. At the same time no haste should be used ; and the statements of Lord MINTo, that he is not in a condition to demand satisfaction, because he is not officially acquainted with all the circumstances of the case deserves to be considered. When this conversa tion was at an end the Lords adjourned. In the Commons Sir JOHN HoauousE laid on the table the treaties connected with India. He took the opportunity of pointing out an inaccuracy in a state ment of the Duke of WELLINGTON relative to the military force in India, which Sir JoHN said was greater than it had been for some preceding years. Sir JOHN also stated, in answer to Mr. HUME, that the Deccan prize-money, except 7,0001,, had all been distributed, and that the Burmese prize -money had been distributed by the Bengal Government to the claimants in India in 1836. Lord PALMERSTON stated in reply to Sir ROBERT INGus, that Portugal had not ratified the treaty for suppressing the slave trade, and that it was his inten tion to propose a Legislative measure to give our cruisers the same authority on the south side of the Line as they had on the north. Mr. JAMES, referring to atrocities committed in Canada, asked if the Government had any information on the subject, and was answered that all which the Government had was on the table of the House. In reply to Lord SANDON Lord PALMERSTON stated that the Commission appointed to inquire into the claims of British subjects lately in the service of Portugal had suspended its labours, but he hoped it would soon resume its duties. Mr. go oNNELl:ii;qurreTwhether the Government had n y information of the outrage said to have been committed by Col. PRINCE in Canada; and the answer was, that the information was not yet received. Mr. THOMAS DUNCOMBE gave notice that he will on the first Supply day, move a resolution against Mi nisters for interfering to di rec t the Lord Chamberlain to restrict theatrical performances in Westminster con trary to a resolution of that House. The House-of Commons, which cannot inquire into the effects of the Corn-laws, which wasted the whole of Thursday night listening to the tirades of Messrs. SHAw and JACKSON, employed very nearly three pre cious hours last night in discussing a question of breach of privilege, which Mr. WYNN declared was no breach of privilege at all. On the debate in the House of Commons on the Judges' Salaries Bill for Scotland, Mr. BANNERMAN and Mr. ELLICE spoke very slight ingly and disrespectfully of some of the Scotch Judges, particularly Lord G LENLEB . I n c on seque nce of that Lord BROUGH AM on Monday last in pronouncing a judgment, alluded to what had been said in the House of Commons, and said the Scotch Judges had been foully, falsely, and unfairly attacked. Mr. BANNERMAN wrote to Lord BROUGHAM for an explanation ; which Lord BROUGHAM refused. Last night Mr. BANNERMAN brought this question under the notice of the House, and moved that the printer of the Tines be called to the bar. Lord JOHN Rus- SELL, Sir ROBERT PEEL, and several other persons en gaged in the discussion, and it was rather curious to hear Lord JOHN assailing Lord BROUGHAM, and Sir R. PEEL defending him. There was no disposition to press the motion fur calling the printer to the bar, which was' only manic, we presume, to allow Mr. BANNERMAN to defend himself, lie would have withdrawn it, but having given notice of a motion for a 'Commission to inquire into the state of the Scotch Judges, Sir R. INGLIS objected to the motion being Withdrawn, and it was negatived without a division. After some little squabbling about the order of pro ceeding, Col. VERNER wishing to go on with the ad journed debate, and the Ministers desiring to proceed with the Municipal Bill (Ireland), the motion was made that this Bill be read a second time. Lord STANLEY supported the motion, and took his friends to task for opposing the second reading on a former occasion. Sir ROBERT INGLIS moved that the Bill be read a second time that day six months, of course under the pretext that the Bill would endanger the Protestant Church. Sir ROBERT PEEL supported the second reading of the Bill; thus giving his refractory followers a slap on the face. They wasted a Parliamen tary night by their opposition to the second reading in his absence a week ago. Finally toe House divided, and the second reading was carried by 300 to 39. The Committee of Supply was postponed against the wishes of the Minister. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL proposed to introduce a Bill for the amendment of the Insolvent Debtors' Act without having obtained leave, bat his motion was re sisted, and he ilithdrew it. The Lords' amendments to the Poor Relief Ireland Amendment all were agreed to, and the House ad journed at Half-past Twelve. Ti:e which took place in the Commons last evening, relative to the physicial infirmities of the Scotch Judges, left the question exactly where it was—the one party affirming that they were all fit for their duties, the other reiterat ing the extraordinary charge made three weeks ago ; and, in order to put the subject of dispute at rest, the Hon. Member for Aberdeen has given notice of a Motion for inquiry. A person looking impartially on the evidence already given, -however, could have no diffi culty in coming to a conclusion that some of them are not in a state to administer justice as it ought to be adminis tered. One of them, it is admitted, is quite deaf, and if the faculty of bearing is not considered indispensable in a Judge of what use is Coun-el, or why should that Judge come into Court. at all ? The argument that. Sir SAMUEL SHEPPARD, though afflicted with the Same infirmity, presided over the Scotch Court of Exchequer for years, and that Lord-GLENLEE, therefore, is equally fit, only makes good Mr. WALLACE'S case, that the labours of a Scotch Judge must be small indeed. It is well known that the office of Chief Baron, for many years befo , e it was abashed, was considered a sine cure, and also that the appointment in question was made because the faculty of hearing was considered in England a necessary qualification in a Judge. But for that he would have been raised to the English Bench. It is mere trifling, however, to contend that a Judge, however great his acquirements and abilities, (and in these few excelled Lord GLENLEE) at the age of four score, having performed his labuors for nearly half a cen tury, and now'fleaf, can be competent for an office that re quires more than any other, perhaps, the use of all the faculties. But there is another feature in this question. Lord JOHN RUSSELL consulted the Lord Justice CLERK, and received an answer with which he appeared to ba as much satisfied as with that given by the Bishop of LONDON, relative to theatrical performances in Lent. Why was the LORD PRESIDENT ❑ot consulted as was the practice formerly? We believe if the inquiry is instituted it will be found that the statements made both by Mr. BANNERMAN and Mr. ELLICE are sub stantially correct, and that the people of Scotland will consider they have done a service to the country by bringi3g the subject before Parliament. We direct the attention ofour readers to a meeting of the Anti-Corn-law Delegates at Manchester, which took place yesterday, and which is fully reported in our paper. The resolutions were of a bold character, and the whole proceedings were obviously intended to impress on the Legislature the importance of attending to the prayers of the people. They declare that the late decision of the House was calculated to impair the confidence of- the nation in the wisdom arid justice of the Le gislaturethat they see with surprise some pseudo friends of freedom opposing their claims ; but they call on the people to come to no definite con clusion against them till after Mr. VILLIERS'. substantive motion of the 12th ; that the QUEaN's Ministers, by their neutrality on this great naional question, have a bandoned the exercise of one of the most important functions of the Cabi net, and that the Delegates, increased in number and power, shall repair to London, to be on the spot when Mr. VILLIERS makes his motion. All this is aimed at the Legislature, and comes most appropriately to strengthen the-hands of Mr. VILLIERS. His motion will be - the most important of the Session, unless out of that should arise treasures of Legislative anarchy fearful to contem plate. Too soon the right-minded and peaceable people cannot impress on the Legislature the neces sity, the imperious necessity of laying aside selfishness a sb dd facts unlessy c justice oTuonsof a ctt e leillt t c:ahla i e rg on itev i noebgeferaet h stzhf refused easweal were Legislature, tibreoicer(ltiglik,qtai known, n n abolition er a lwtyten,lo c or : ofel plain principles e the oenowcsn eclooyionly y Corn-laws thedam of jus tice. etvvpfaei;asl dradl toeni defended will be wholly destroyed. The manner in which the Delegates spoke of her MAJESTY'S Ministers—and nothing but old recollections checked the use of much stronger language—must at once convince them, that if they do not grant the prayers of the ma nufacturers, they will become, by the town population more scorned and hated than ever were the Tories. Their previous conduct has fixed on them the hopes of the people, and not now to gratify them will add treachery to the hostility which the Tories openly and honestly profess. We read with no surprise, but some apprehen sion, accounts from all quarters that the people are arming, and that the apprehension or rumours of their proceedings are begetting, as in Nottingham shire, a series of silly proceedings on the part of cer tain Magistrates, well calculated to accelerate the e c . o p min res g crisis. sour fo A re t bod the same ingswe timee cannot we tiat join those who, like the Morning Chronicle, express regret at the people arming ; nor would we dissuade them from it. - They have hitherto sent petitions and remonstrances, and the result is, them not to arm is to they arc- treated as slaves.

We . said yesterday un dertaken on the ordinary principles profit and loss, and on those principle s are neither constructed nor carried on. It is the that essential cha racteristic of trade, and of all real commercial en terprizes, that they can he and are undoerrtpakoleincewaitihl: t l h .eg s is a l n a c tu ti r7 with out e revenue ; it profligately sold lican and the Maltster, for purposes a monopoly to the Bank ; it pretends to secure a remunerating profit to the cultivator of the soil; but the essential principle b o a r s i t n h t e erf a e i r d cd of all commercial enterprizes—taking these as t h e illustrations —is, that individuals could cultivate the soil, establish banks, and carry on the trade of ma l t _ sters and publicans withon,t asking the Legis lature for leave or assistance. Shipowners and coach-masters ma y do the same, an d if Some Steam-Nevigation Companies have gone to Parliament for Atli of Incorporation, they did that for their own convenience in rela tion to a particular state of the law; but the enter prize of running steam-boats to all parts of the world, could be engaged in without asking the Legislature for leave or help. Su c h t ra d es an d businesses as can be carried on with out the aid of the Legislature, it should not meddle with, and should impartially protect the undertakings of all. But a railroad is no such business. All the land is private property, and no road can be carried through it, against the will of the landowners, ex cept by the authority of the Legislature. Before a railroad can exist the Legislature must act. It i s the effyring of legislation. The Legislature not only authorises the land to be taken, but it confers privileges on the Railway Proprietors, and at the same time prescribes rules for their conduct. One of the conditions on which it in sists is, that a certain sum of money shall be paid up ; and another generally is, that the profits shall not exceed a certain rate. In none of the trades we have mentioned does the. Legislature interfere to prescribe the quantity of capital which shall he embarked in it, or the rate of profit which shall be made. None of them, ex cept where the State interferes with them for the purposes of revenue or police, are in any form or degree regulated by the Legislature, while the rail road speculation is in all its parts, sometimes.even to the amount of tha fares to be demanded, regu lated by the law-maker. These different circum stances make the distinction between railroads and commercial enterprizc palpable; and while we are strenuous advocates for the perfect freedom of those trades and businesses which grow up without the aid or help of the Legislature we feel ourselves at perfect liberty, nay warranted, to re quire a very different rule for those speculations which, like railroads, are the offspring of legisla tion, and by legislation are in a great measure re gulated. Such undertakings, we repeat, are not conducted on the ordinary principle of commercial enterprise, and if other circumstances require it, there is no departure from principle in the Govern ment or Legislature taking the formation and ma nagement of them on itself. What happens now is this : An enterprising or speculating engineer gets hold of one or two spe culating capitalists, and come City attorney, a n d they together concoct a railway scheme. He sur veys the ground, and lays down the plans, and then publishes a prospectus, which obtains many sub scribers. The shares of the Company are made transferable ; all which the projectors require is to act a premium on thorn, and if that be accom plished, those who purchase the shares may or may not carry the project out to its completion. In all this one thing is certain, namely, that neither the scheming engineer, nor the scheming capitalist, nor the purchasing shaieholder, thinks for one moment of the public advantage ; what they study is their profit ; and that is achieved, not when the railway is completed, not when the line of communication is established, not when the Com pany divide large annual profits, hut—when the shares fetch a large premium in the market. It supposed that the enterprize would not be engaged in unless it were likely to be profitable ; no more it would ; but the profit is made -on the Stock Ex change. Those who buy the shares with the con ditions attached by the Act of Parliament, have very often •found that they have only bought the privilege of expending their money, without the chance of ever reaping in their lives a farthing profit. Are such schemes the proper basis fo - r what should be a most extensive public convenience? Are they the secure and certain foundation for Acts of the Le4e,lature: we mean those Acts wilich create rail roads ? Is there in such circumstances a colourable pretext even for the Legislature invading private property, and giving the speculative engineer, the City solicitor in great practice, and one or two scheming capitalists, the power of establishing such monopolies as railroads must become ? We at least think not; and as there must be railroads, as they must be constituted by legislation, we call on the Legislature, if it have not altogether lost its reason, to lay down a wise, a general, and a con- prehensive scheme of railways, for the whole of 1 England, as it has done for Ireland; and we call on it to make proper regulations for carrying such a scheme into effect, and for preserving the control and management of railroads in the bards of the Government, responsible to the nation. To con vert them into private property, by private Acts of Parliament, is in fact to make laws and grant 1110110- polies to the injury of the many for the benefit of a few. The Post inquires yesterday morning whether Lord JOHN RUSSELL did not intimate before Parliament assembled a wish to retire from office, and whether he were not dissuaded from it by an assurance that his retirement would break up the Government. It further asks whether Lord JOHN RUSSELL, continually annoyed by the opposition on the back benches of the Ministerial side, and •by the cross tire to which he is ex posed from the smile quarter, has not re cently reiterated his wish, and , expressed an opinion that he is unable longer to carry on the QUEEN'S Government in the House of Commons, We have no authority or power to reply to. these questions, but the situation of Lord JOHN Rus- SELL must have become so irksome since he openly separated himself and the Ministers from the great body of their supporters on the Ballot anti seeravl other questions,that we are not at all surprised at his wish to escape, by any means, from the difficulties in which he has involved himself and his party —difficuties which must be immensely increased by his late desertion of his own friends to serve under the banner of the Bishop of LONDON, when a majority of the House of Commons equally put down the Bishop's hypocritical cant, and Lord JOHN RUS soLL's devotee support of it. Nor has the timid, undecided, feeble conduct of the Ministers, on the vital question of the Corn•laws, contributed to make Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S task easy. Here again the Whig Ministers have deserted the great body of their supporters, and have also, which is infinitely worse, failed to advocate and support the hal lowed cause of justice. Holding in their hands the power of the Government, which is constituted for the general protection, they have, instead of pro tecting the people, and instead of knocking off; from the great interests of commerce and manufac tures, the shackles of the landlords, !lauded them over, bound . and fettered to be pliin dered and devastated by the landed aristocrAcy. A Ministry which stakes its existence on refusinu to open the play-houses in Westminster on Wed nesdays and Fridays in Lent, and leaves the Corn laws to be decided by the chances of a famine or a popular riot, may well find itself placed in a most embarrassing situation, if it -even escape general ridicule and contempt. We, therefore, looking at the facts of the case, are inclined to believe that the inquiries of the Post must be answered affir matively. Let the electors be on their guard, lest another general election come suddenly upon them. The Ist of May next promises to he a grand day for the Railways. Extension of the lines of some will take place, such as the Southampton, Great Western, &c., and several will then be opened for the first time to the public. Among these is the Manchester and Leeds, and nearer home the Croydon Railway. A full report of the proceedings which took place yesterday at the seventh half-yearly Meeting of the latter Company will be found in The 'Sun of this OM% We are happy to see that the prospects of the Company promise so well. In fact this Railway will form a grand trunk line for the South and South-East of Eng land, as the Birmingham does for the North, and must, consequently, greatly profit by the confluence of traffic pouring in from all the other lines—Brighton, Dover, Hastings, Chichester, Portsmouth, &c. When the line is ' completed as far as Brighton, one half the po pulation of London will be constantly travel ling to the seashore performing the journey in about an hour ! Many a Cockney who never saw the broad ocean before, will then feast his eyes on the wonders of the mighty deep—and *ash his sallow face, for the first time, in the invigorating salubrity of pure salt water. The benefit of railroads will then be - duly appreciated. The outrage offered to the British Flag in the Gulf of Mexico was again brought before the House of Lords last night, by Lord LYNDHURST. The First Lord of the Admiralty pleaded, as before, ignorance upon the "sOject ; but, as the Govern ment has been driven to something like a decision at last ; and as the necessary information is to be laid before Parliament the moment it arrives— which.. it is expected, will be in the course of _a few days—we Oran await what discloEures there remain to be made, before offering a decided opinion. The circumstances, as. Lord BROUGHAM truly observed, look suspi cious—the delays are altogether unaccountable ; but while there is a possibility of their being satis factorily explained, it would be unfair roundly to charge the Government with betraying by their passiveness the honour of the country. For once • we entirely concur in the opinion of Lord LYND unsT, that had there been a British squadron in the Gulf no French officer would have dared to take such a liberty with our flag. To the neglect of that necessary precaution on the part of the Government is this unfortunate occurrence solely ascribable. Mr. WAGRORN'S establishment in Egypt has put us in possession of Bombay Papers to the 19th, Madras to the 1:20, and Calcutta to the 7th of January. It appears that a change has COMO over the Affghans, and the Chief of Herat has joined DOST MOHAM MED, and his brothers against us. Mit. CAMP .DELI., who was formerly in the Est India Com pany's service, and now in that of DosT MOHAM MED, is busily cecup'ed in fortifying the passes on our proposed line of march to fiandallar. Russian intrigue appears to be as actively at work as ever. These circumstances taken in conjunction will account fur the conduct of Persia towards our Ambassador, Mr. M'NEIL, and the recent decline of British influence in Central Asia. A considerable force, under the com mand of Major General BOWEN, was taking the field against Jhansee, which it was expee!ed would he shortly reduced. An Envoy from Hydrahad had arrived at Sir JOHN KEANE'S camp, with the avo:-.-ed object of arranging for the peaceable ad vance of the British imps to that city on their way to Cabool ; but it was more than suspected that his ob ject was to reconnoitre the strength of the British army. As, however, his arrival at the English camp was followed by no perceptible •change in the previous arrangements of the Commander•in-Chief, an impression prevailed that his real object was discovered, and his mission therefore rendered unsuccessful. The Msdras Papers state that the probabilities of a war with Burmah increase fast. TIIARRAWADDIE shows increased obstinacy against our Resident. Au exten sive manufactory of gunpowder and bullets was carried on at Rangoon, Martahan, and Biieng, arid 1,000 " invinciblcs" had arrived at the firmer place ; as had also, happily fur the British residents, her MAJESTY'S ship Favourite. Another account states that a rebellion of rather an extensive nature was sprraiino- on the mountains N.W. of the c api ta l o f A va, headed' by a cousin of the Usur per, end that THARRAWADDIE bad so far become civil as to allow the !Voorighces to meet Colonel Ronson at the Lootaw, or Vale of Justice. Her MAJLsTY's sloop-of-war Fav:.urite was to re main at liAngooa until th; result of Colonel BENSON'S first interview with the KING is known. About the end of November three of a party of seventy conspirators, who were taken a few leagues below Procne, were crucified at Rangoon, having their' mouths cut from ear to ear, and a stick thrust down their throats. One lived about six hours, the other two about twelve hours. Their bodies re mained on the cross three days. Oa the Bth December five more were crucified ; they all dying like martyrs to their cau,;e. Everything appeared quiet on the Nepaulese frontier, although it is alleged Ghoorkha emissaries were busy in every quarter of Hindostan, exciting the native chiefs to disaffection. -From Jeypore, accounts state that matters at that cite had be -n settled 'satisfactorily. The mutineers (from 4,000 to .5,000 in number, with IS pieces of cannon) alter standing their ground till ar rangem:Jnts had been made for attacking them in position, laid down their arms, gave up their guns and other materiel, and had been disbanded, selections of them having been received into the now levy to be incorporated with Foster's brigade. The transportation of Indian labourers had been put an end to at Calcutta, agreeably to the instructions for warded from England. Accounts from the Red Sea state that the expedition which sailed from Bombay on the 31st of December, had taken possession of Adel), after storming the place, the loss on the part of the Beitish being 13 killed and wounded, and on that of the Arabs about 1.50 killed. Sir PEILLGRINE MAITLAND, late Commander-in- Chief at Madras, embarked for England in the ship Columbia, on the 4th of July. The ships Berkshire and Toy had arrived safe at Bombay, from England. The Malabar sailed for London on the 4th of Jarman'. The Aurora was to sail on the 24th of the same month, for England, with invalids from the several British Regiments in India, under Lieutenant POORE, of the. 4th Light Dragoons. The next overland mail for England was to be despatched from Bombay on the 25th ult. The Mail sent from Bombay on the 19th of Ja nuary, via Falmouth, will not reach Landon before the 26th inst. Tile public nil' thus percuive the great advantage whieli.the country derives, in the obtaining early intelligence, from WAnuonN's unpaid services. The latest accounts from Madrid are of the 28th ult. The REGENT continued in a state of severe in disrosition. On the 27th, tlia TarifF's Committee de cided, by a great majority, in favour of the reduction of duties on foreign vessels, recommended by England. ESPARTERO has lost one of his creatures, by the death of Don ISintANDA, Under Secretary of War, who ex pired on the 27th, in the Spanish capital. The whole of the Palis — Journals of Thursday have reached us, but their contents are uninteresting. The Journal des Debuts claims a majority of one out of 431 election returns in favour of Ministers ; while the com merce contends that the Cabinet is already in a minority of thirteen votes. A very few days will, however, settle this point, which, while in a state of abeyance, is of no importance to our readers. The following news from Russia includes all that is of any moment in the Paris journals : We have the following letter from Odessa:—" Au express received yesterday from Moscow brings orders to Gen. Count bliss immediately to send a. division of the cavalry in the Colo nies to the country of the Don Cossacks. The courier states that Lieutenant-General Nayhurt has left Moscow for the rtme destination with two brigades of infantry, two regiments of hussars, and some artillery. Though the Government still endeavours to conceal it, there is no doubt that great dis content prevails among the Don Cossacks ; it is even affirmed that a military insurrection has broken out at Nova Tcher kusk, the capital of the country, and that it is daily spread ing. This insurrection is entirely caused by the Ukase, which has just been promulgated, and which abolishes the privileges which the Don Cossacks enjoyed of not being obliged to do military service for life, nor liable to .be transported to Siberia. What is certain is that General Wise, Hetman of the Cossacks ad interim, as soon as he was acquainted with this Ukase quitte t Novo Tcherkusk, because lie foresaw a fer mentation among those under him, and feared that in that case they would seize on his person. It is said that the principal nobles in the country of the Don Cossacks, such as the Jelowajski, Geffremat, Schermazabef, Dinytrsf, &c., incessantly exhort the people to defend with energy their ancient privileges. The event is of great im portance to our country. General Baron Ven !or Osten Sacken left Odessa to-day to put himself at the had of a division of Lancers, and to march to the Don, at the same time Count Rzewowski is gone to give orders to another division of Lancers, to proceed to the same destination. " A let ter from St. Petersburgh informs us that before trans mitting the Ukase abovementioned, to Need Tcherkusk, the Emperor ordered Count Orloff Denisoff, the real chief of the Don Cossacks, not to leave St. Petersburgh. This proves that it was expected that the Ukase would give occasion to disorders, and that it. was feared that the Nobleman who is loved by the Cossacks, but not in favour with the Emperor, would go and organise a general insurrection in his country. We expect im portant news ; as soon as it arrives I shall hasten to communi cate to you."—Le CCM: merce. OU SE.—PARIB, ZIIYRSDAT, MARCM 7. t'irst Uighest Lowest Last, Price. Price. Price. Price.

No further art ivals, with a great scarcity of news in the City. MONEY MA.ItKET and CITY NEV TIMES —I f an opinion were asked in the city of the state of money at this moment, the general reply would be that it is scarce, and yet the rate varies so much under different circumstances, as well as ac. cot ding to different degrees of credit, that no just cent..lusion as re gards tile market at large can possibly be drawn. 121 mercantile transactions rather high terms are submitted to, except amcng bor. rowers of the first class;y et it is quite evident that this wrists trout real scarcity, but n'orn a prererence given to other modes otemployin.7 it. The limited dernandS of trade would alone serve to estabtisli arid if( tic exact truth could be ascertained, it would probably turn out tii..t discounts note lied faun a far lc...portion than usual of the floating capita! of merchants and ()alike.. The rest finds its way into stocks end sharer of vat lass descriptions, or into loans to those who camie+. contrive to hold them with money of their own, but are weilinz rer a fit occasion to close with a profit. At the' Stock-Exchange very singular fluctuatihns have occurred in the value cf money during the present week. On some occasions it was a mere drug, and at others, to t• here the emergency arose in a sudden and unexpCeted manlier; and for allay or two only, it was hardly to be obtained en the best security and the highest terms. This arises probably from the paralyzed stale of tho market, which prevents the leading job, hers front ke",png, as In.retofore, large sums of money .always rt counnald, and provided only that the demand is sudden, nearly the same consequel.ce follows whether it is for money Cr, stock. No inference is to be drawn f:ooa it with respect to the permanent va!ne of either. • If the state of polities is considered, the prices of all descriptions.of Government securities must appear unnaturally high, but the ab.. Fence of all new loans for several years past has causcd more and more of the permanent debt to be absorbed for investment by that class of savings which can only be disposed of in securities of the bat description. Nothing but Consols or Exchequer Bills will do for settlements, endowments, and trast-money of all kinds. or late some sales, rather ui:usual in amount far such a market, have been made, and have been followed by some depression ; but the tone of the tnirket has generally been restored as soon as the sales had ceased. HERALD.—Speculation still continues in the Cotton Market, the advicea from Liverpool of yesterday stating that 10,000 bales were taken at full prices ; and, under the impression that the mar kets of Europe will be fed wit the eatton staple of the United States, merely to suit the views or the banking hypothecators rf that material, it is anticipated that this mania for buying the raw material, at rates which cannot ensure profits when manufactured, will last for some time. The subject, however, is one of sleep import to monetary and banking interests, and has already obtained much attention, with them, sinbe it appears that a large amount of bills, founded upon these cottsti speculations have been tendered for discount in the London Money Market, but as this Paper li,s been brought here with a view of enabling certain parties to extend their cotton speculations, it has been looked at with a good deal of caution, which we hope will be r;gidly continued Money fur commercial discounts commands from 31- a 4 per cen t . currently, and in some instances, according to ci rcumstances, higher . rates have been given. On the Foreign Stock Market it has also been in more demand. There has not been much doing in the Continental exchanges to. day. Money has been rather more plentiful than bills, and the rtes are generally lower than they were on the last post day. On Paris they are quoted at the reduced rate of 25f 421 e. to 47i-c. On Am sterdam they were 12 2i. On Rotterdam at 12 2 1 T , as. On Ant werp 12 1# a On Hamburg at 13 9 a ; and on Frankfurt at 1504 a The British Funds have been very inactive to-day, and, until nearly the close of business hours, the quotations were precisely the same as they were yesterday. Consols, however, left off at the slightly-improved rate of 92. f a 93 for Money, and at 93 buyers for the Account. The Three-and .a-Half per Cent. Reduced Annuities are now 1013 a fot the opening, and the New Three-and a Half pr Cents. 1001 a g. The premium upon Exchequer Bills is 64 a 66, and on those advertised GI a 63. The dealing w the Foreign Bonds continues very limited, and those of the "flourishing" Peninsular States left off at declining quotations. Most of the transactions in the Railway Share Market, in which business has been effected, have te:n marked by a further decline. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) COVENT-GARDEN.
