But we do not think that Mr. THESIGER will add much to the strength of the Government. As a debater he is a failure—as a lawyer he is not above mediocrity—and why Sir ROBERT PEEL chose him`to be Solicitor-General, to the exclusion of Mr., KELLY, we cannot tell. The giant mind of Mr. KELLY is as far superior to that of Mr. THESIGER, as the stature of the latter is to the former. But Cambridge was unsafe, in fact, cer tain to be lost, and PEEL'S majority, great as it is, cannot bear reduction. Here lies the secret of Mr. KELLY'S non-appointment. Mr. THESIGER is no fa vourite of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S. Ever since the cele brated Evesham Committee, in 1838, when CocK BURN, hereafter to be one of the greatest men at the English bar, made the proud heart of THESIGER quail before his talent and energy, in the presence of Sir R. PEEL, who sat as Chairman, and unseated PETER 13ORTHWICK, TilEslGErt has been no favourite. And in the House of Commons the perpetual we of the Treasury side annoys a Premier who delights to say /do this, /refuse that. However, Mr. THESIGER iS now Solicitor-General, with a good chance for a Judgeship at no distant day, and talent has been re jected in the person of Mr. KELLY, with the promise that he shall have the next vacancy. Sir ROBERT PEEL, who has now been three years in office, has met with more defeats in the House of Commons than any Prime Minister, during the same time, that ever preceded him. Though he has, nomi nally, a majority at his back, which fills up the full complement of three figures, considered in the good old Tory days absolutely necessary to carry on business ; though he has all the talent of the renegade Whigs and Radicals, and is supported by the landed interest, the moneyed interest, and the West and East India interest; though he has all the Bishops and clergy, and mono polists of every shade—he is the most helpless Minister that ever ruled the destinies of the country. His Ministry has been called the " strong Ministry,' but the history of his Cabinet only con firms the old proverb, " That there is nothing in a name." If we except that beautiful measure, the income-tax, and the New Tariff Bill, we are not aware that he has done anything for which either Tories, or Whigs, or Radicals, can thank him. These were his own measures; but how has he sue ceded in Bills which he entrusted to his new col leagues, and especially to the Home Secretary, Sir JAMES GRAHAM? There is a fatality about every thing the once Radical Baronet undertakes, and this is only the result which might be expected from the just laws by which all human operations are 'governed. During his short reign in office he has brought forward three important Bills,which have all miserably failed; and what is the most disgraceful feature in these defeats, they were so notoriously bad that even the " three figures" had not the courage to support them. The amendment of the Poor-law Bill he was obliged to shuffle off till some more convenient period ; the Factories Education Bill was damned by the Dissenters alone; and the Twelve Hours' Factories Bill bids fair to meet the same fate, from the supporters of the " strong Mi nistry." ASHLEY, and FERRAND, and OASTLER are up in arms against the Government, and neither the RICHMONDS nor the BUCKINGHAMS come to their re lief. Another great measure has been introduced this session, which far surpasses all the rest in im portance, and for that Sir ROBERT PEEL has also to thank his new Whig-Radical allies. Lord STANLEY, when out of office, introduced a Disfranchisement Bill for Ireland; but the Whig Government, though weak, was still too powerful for him, and after some vain attempts to carry the obnoxious and most unjust restrictions on the registrations in the sister country, he was compelled to abandon it. The same measure is now introduced in a new shape, and under different auspices—under the auspices of a nobleman, who should, above all others, have been saved from such an odious task. Lord ELIOT went to Ireland with the best prospects, for a Tory Secretary, of success. He was believed to be a man of mild and conciliatory disposition. He was regarded by his party as too liberal ; but, nevertheless, a display or a deception was necessary, and a deception is the result. Ile has been made the instrument of Lord STANLEY or Sir JAMES GRAHAM ; he has roused up an addi tional cry of indignation in Ireland against the Government. Concession, said Sir JAMES GRAHAM, had reached its utmost limits ; but to oppression there is to be no limits. Twenty-five thousand county electors are to be struck at once off the roll, with as little ceremony as the old forty-shilling voters, and, according to the showing of Lord Euor,without any thing like a proportionate compensation. The Bill is exceedingly complicated, and of course is totally incom prehensible to the great body of the Irish people ; but this naturally makes them look upon it with the more suspicion, and leads them to the conviction that while renegade Whigs are in office there is no salra tion for their country but in determined resistance. Neither Sir ROBERT PEEL nor Lord ELIOT is re garded as the author of this obnoxious scheme. It is traced to a different member of the Cabinet, and that member has ever shown the most bitter hostility to the sister country. Can any man then wonder that a new impulse is given to the repeal cry, and that Mr. O'CONNELL sets all the sufferings of im prisonment at defiance on the announcement of this new outrage to his native land ? Sir R. PEEL solemnly declared that the Reform Bill was not to be touched; yet he allows a great inroad to be made upon it in a quarter where there was the loudest complaints of its defects. As a necessary consequence, the whole of Ireland is against him. We are not aware that there is one journal, or one party, or even the section of a party, in that country that looks upon his administra tion with common forbearance. Catholics and Orange men and Presbyterians vie with each other in denouncing the "strong Ministry." And does it fare better in England? Of all the daily journals published in the metropolis, only one solitary organ raises iti feeble voice for PEEL. Never was there such a shameful discomfiture; but it is a just retribution. Renegades rarely succeed. Sir ROBERT PEEL took as his supporters Lord STANLEY and Sir JAMES GRAHAM, and to his sorrow he finds that he trusted to a broken reed. At the great Anti-Corn-law banquet, which took place on Friday night at Liverpool, Mr. EWART made some apt, ironical comments on the equivocal conduct of Ministers as regards the question of free trade. " If profession is to be relied on," said the Hon. Member, " the Premier is a free-trader, for to borrow an expression from a candidate for the City of London, he ' is for free trade in the abstract.' if profession is to be relied on, the Right Hon. Secretary for the Home Department is for free trade in the abstract. If the President of the Board of Trade is to be measured, not by the profession of his principles, but by what he has already published, he, too, is a free-trader in the abstract. These men only want moral courage to carry out their prin ciples ; and. I must say if they would only come forward with some comprehensive measure, such, as a bold spirit like Lord CHATHAM would have pro duced, they would carry with them all the sympathy, as well as support, of the present generation, and would command the gratitude of all posterity." There is sometimes, as has been shrewdlrobserved, great virtue in an " if," and here is a decided case in point. "If" the Premier, "like Lord CHATHAM," would come forward with some "comprehensive measure," there is no doubt, as Mr. EWART states, that he would be an inestimable benefactor to the existing generation, and "command the gratitude of poste rity;" but alas that "if"—that chilling, insuperable "if"—is a terrible. stumbling-block, and forbids us to cherish the pleasing conviction. Sir ROBERT PEEL, were his days to be lengthened even to those of METUUSALEM, would never find it in • his nature to project a measure that should in the slightest degree remind his countrymen of a CHATHAM! He would never, for instance, in the cause of the people, beard the whole power of the Court and the aristocracy ; he would never dare to throw himself on the masses for support. Such a stretch of magnanimity h far beyond his reach ; he is a mere conventional Minister—the slave of precedent and etiquette; who, if he move at all, must • move according to esteb lished forms and proprieties, and at the well-regulated pace of a trained official, who has graduated in the red-. tape school. Lord CHATHAM, though he wielded the destinies of England at a period when the people -were infinitely less powerful than at present, and the aris tocracy were infinitely more so, yet set the whole body of the latter at defiance, JlO ruled in spite of them. Sir ROBERT PEEL, on the contrary, truckles unconditionally to rank ; a single frown from the Dukes of RICIIMOND and BUCKINGHAM is quite suffi cient to scare him from his good resolutions; and he makes it a point to strengthen his Cabinet by as many aristocratic accessories as possible. Here is the great secret of his lamentable vacillation on the subject of free trade. Ile would be a free-trader if he dared ; but the cold, stern, haughty eyes of the aristocratic monopolists are on him, and he quails beneath their glances, and is compelled to take refuge in vague professions. "A free-trader in the ab stract !" Such is the Prime Minister of the first commercial country in the world—a man who sees the one great want of the age, who has more than once timidly and indirectly acknowledged it, yet who fears to act boldly on the convictions of his under standing ! Would a CHATHAM have thus humili ated. himself—thus acted in defiance of his better judgment, at the command of men immeasurably his inferiors in all the qualities of statesmanship? We are by no means sanguine, when we bear in mind the majority which the Premier has at his back ; but we do hope shortly to see the day when he will not only be a " free-trader," but a Minister also, "in the abstract"—that is to say, supporting the interests of the country, without fee or reward, except such as his own conscience may supply him with, on the front seat of the Opposition benches. At the great banquet to which we have been alluding, Mr. CoBDEN archly observed—" Some of our opponents are not very learned. The other day one of the free-trade newspapers in Ilerts, in an able article on the Anti-League movement, spoke of the defection from the right cause of Lord DACRE, and quoted the well-known phrase, 'Et tu, Brute ! ' Next day a long letter came from his Lordship's land-steward, denouncing the editor for calling Lord DACRE a brute!" Ignorance like this is by no means confined to the land-stewards of the mo nopolists, for we have read, of late, not a few Anti-League speeches delivered by titled and wealthy Protectionists, which abound in proofs of block headism quite as egregious as that which we have just quoted, and which would really seem to have been delivered with no other view than to exhibit in full, luxuriant perfection, the amazingly long ears of the speakers. The time is probably not distant, at which, owing to the improved machinery adopted in the collection and arrangement of statistical facts, we may arrive at modes of determining many political problems of extreme interest, with more celerity and certainty than have yet been attained, under less perfect facilities, for arriving at authenticated economical data. If the scheme and working of the New Poor law have effected no other good, they have, at lea:4, by degrees, organised a test of singular efficiency in estimating the relative increase, from time to time, of the value of real property—and of its liabilities— in England and Wales. And, inasmuch as, of such liabilities, none is so extensive or so permanent as the poor-rate itself, it is well that the fluctuations of the amount of that charge can henceforth be measured by an index, pari passu with the fluctuations of this value, of which it is the common indicator. We can scarcely form an adequate estimate of the enormous importance of which such digested information must prove, in future times, to those who may have under taken to trace the domestic history of this nation in its social and civil progression, and of its agricultural capital and rental more especially. They will not be left to the task of deducing unsatisfactory theories, by labourious and protracted investigations, pursued through disconnected channels of very various and Uncertain authority, into the obscure effect of a few darkling hints or accidental allusions (such as the modern commentators on SUETONIUS or TACITUS are compelled to rely upon, in guessing at some meagre particulars connected with the Imperial revenues, for example, or the value and taxation of land under the Empire—such as -TACITUS and SUETONIUS them selves were under the necessity of resorting to in touching upon the same topics, in their rela tion to the earlier ages of the Itepublic). The art of :printing will probably perpetuate to the remotest posterity distinct, intelligible records from which the future annalist may cull with the certainty of correctness and authentication, the elementary principles :and the statistical details of our wealth— its investments and its administration. We have already hinted that the returns con nected with the Poor-law Amendment Act will not be among the least valuable of the contribu tions to history, which the practice of our Legislature, in oidering all such documents to be printed, will have secured to those who are to come after us. We have just received a "Blue Book" that will corroborate (we think) our an. tieipation. It is entitled "A Return, showing the total value of property assessed to the Poor rates, for the year ended Lady-day, 1840; with ' the amount of money levied for Poor-rates for the years ending Lady-day, 1839 to 1842, on each parish in England and Wales." This exceedingly important paper appears to have been supplied for the information of Parliament, on the motion of Mr. G. PALMER. That gentleman is entitled to the thanks of the having so shaped his mo tion, because, country for the" summary " or "abstract" into which its explicit and well-considered terms have permitted of the results collected being reduced, pre • seats, at one glance, on a single page, in six celumns, the substance of the whole detailed reports- com prised in the subsequent 230 folio pagei,': from all the many thousands of parishes comprehended within England and Wales. We have felt it our imperative duty,. in many arti cles devoted to that subject, to direct public attention to the fearfully deteriorated condition and prospects of our industrial classes. It has been the endeavour of these articles to point out the cruel, the invidious, Position in which our monetary system has placed that vast and meritorious community —to show that the operation of such a system has been, and must Continue to be, to exclude fr.,m theft; fair share of the distributive benefit which all classes ought to derive from the multiplication of production and its commodi ties, and the reduced prices of our manufactures, the very body whose wonderful labour has mainly and permanently achieved those national advantages, from the benefit of Which they alone continue to be ex cluded. The Sun has repeatedly demonstrated that among other effects of the Currency Bill of 1819, this produc ing body is made to bear, annually, the burden of some thirty millions of taxation, which, on every principle of common sense, justice, and policy, ought -to be —and in the original contemplation of the Legisla ture it was clearly intended they should be—borne by the rich or competent consumers. Finally, we have warned our readers not to infer,• from the oc casional increased activity of trade in given localities, and the consequent temporary action upon the market for labour, that to that action any degree of permanency might safely be anticipated ; or that any considerable diminution of the grinding distress now weighiag down our industrial community, could be safely, calculated upon. We grieve to add that the " Return" fatally confirms these gloomy forebodings, so far as the increase of poor-rates may be taken as a criterion of their truth. The total Annual Value of the Real Property, assessed to the Poor-rate, 'for the year ending Lady-day, 1841,. was (England and Wales) 62,540,0001.; an enormous rateable Capital no doubt. But, on the other hand, the total amount of money levied for • Poor rates, for the years ending respectively on Lady-day, in 1839, 1840, 1841, and 1842, in creased 'in the proportions indicated in the following corresponding aggregates for these several years, namely, 5,613,9391., 6,014,605/., 6,351,8281., and 6,552,8901. So ,that. the increased charge for the poor-rate of all England and Wales, in 1842, was nearly one million upon the same charge for 1839. This is a disgrace, that on many accounts more than countervails the increased productiveness of. the Property -tax, •as will be evident to a ll who consider how large a displacement of labour, and what multitudi, nous sacridce of minute capitals must antecede the addition of one million per annum to the poor -rates of England and Wales alone ; besides the elements of this inauspicious increase appear in the detailed re turns for the very manufacturing districts in which trade is said to be most ..active. Can any facts more j strongly affirm the soundness of the propositions we have - advanced as to the inadequate wages of industrial labour, and that overruling cause—the vicious prin ciples of our monetary system—which, whilst it exists, will keep them still inadequate, and accelerate the march of pauperism and misery. Madrid journals <sf the 6th and 7th instant have been received, but they bring no news. The Bourse still remained closed on the 6th. in the French Chamber of Peers on Friday, the Duke de BROGLIE brought up the. Report of the Committee on the new Education Bill, and read it at length. The Committee agreed in recommending the adoption of the measure, with a few slight altera tions, and the Chamber seemed to be of the same'opinion. On leaving the tribune the Duke was loudly cheered. The debate on this important measure was fixed for Monday, the 22d, and a number of Members had an nounced their intention of speaking; among others, MM. DUPIN, CAUSIN, DE MONTALEMBERT, and BARRENTE. The Report extends to great length, the reading of it havirg occupied the Chamber for two hours, and is spoken of in high terms by all parties, except those who side with the rebellious clergy.. The first paragraph, which lays down the principles on which the Bill is founded, runs thus : " In entering upon the examination of the project of law submitted to their consideration, the Committee has found two decisive questions solved :—The State gives and should give instructions ; the State offers, to the public an instruc tion suited to their wants ; but the State does not exclusively exercise the right of instruction ; private individuals • have the right delegated to them ; what is done by the State may be done by. every Frenchman, qualified by his acquirements and his character. Such is the public right as laid down by the Charter. It is the duty of the State to spread far and wide the advantages of instruction, and to satisfy the solici tude of parents for the welfare of, their children." In the Chamber of Deputies, on Saturday, Marshal SOULT brought in a Bill for granting a sum of 6,880,000 f towards improving the fortifications of Havre. On the same day AVLEDRU ROLLIN was to bring on a motion, of which he had given notice, relative to the dispatches brought by M. R.EINE from Admiral DUPETIT Traouexs. • Up to the hour of post, however, no discussion had taken place, owing to the absence of Ministers. We are glad to find that some of the Paris papers are showing a just indigna tion against the Court, though they nominally throw the blame on M. GUIZOT, for conferring the Order of the Legion of Honour on such men as BRAY() and NARYAEZ. We extract from the Siicle the following just remarks on this shameful prostitution of an Order which Frenchmen had hitherto regarded with such veneration : " We refused before now to believe the news which we find confirmed to-day in the dispatches from Madrid, and by the testimony of our Ministerial papers. The Grand Cordon of the Legion of Honour has been sent in the name of the King, by M. Bresson, the Ambassador of France, to General Nar vaez and M. Gonzales Bravo. Thus our Government ren ders itself officially responsible for all the violerices by which , these political adventurers had signalised their dictatorship. M. Guizot ought, in fact, to feel a lively sympathy for a Minister who has brutally practised in Spain the same sys tem of intimidation that he himself, it will be remembered, glorified among us. It is not enough to characterise as the French party, a party which, after having glided into the rank of the Spanish Liberals, from whom it asked an asylum on the ground of being an auxiliary and of amnesty, all at once threw aside the mask, dismissed the Cortes, proscribed the men whose plain dealing it had deceived, and multiplied military executions, but the chiefs of that faction are to be decorated with the Cordon that Massena, Ney, Brune, Da voust, Montebello, and their rivals in glory, paid for, with their blood,, and acquired by scores of victorious campaigns. To honour perjurers, to recompense servility—audaciously to replace in the ministry of public affairs magistrates who had been turned out of it'after a solemn investigation—these are the acts which characterise the system."

On the other hand, letters from the Lombardo- Venetian kingdom announce that several regiments have re ceived orders to hold themselves in readiness to march, in case an intervention should_be deemed necessary." In a letter of the 2d inst. from Milan, quoted by the Cologne Gazette, it is said— " The negotiations fora marriage between the Duk e d e Bordeaux and Princess Maria Carolina of Naples, are so far advanced that their union is now beyond all doubt. The ill ness of the Duke d'Angotileme is the only cause for delaying the nuptials. The two sons a Admiral Bandiera have gene from Corfu to Malta, where Mazzini, the Chief of Young Italy, was expected from London." " IVe learn from Munich that the Bing of Bavaria has published a decree, in virtue of which Protestant soldiers are to be no longer forced to be present at the service of the Roman Catholic church, or Catholic soldiers to attend on the occasion of religious ceremonies in Protestant churches. In cases of religious processions, however, they are still to be called upon to form the line, that being considered a service of public order, and not identifying them in .any way with the religious character of the proceeding."

BURNING OF A COTTON FACTORY AT HACKNEY.— On Saturday, at about half past twelve o'clock, a great deal of alarm and excitement was manifested amongst the inhabitants of Hackney and its suburbs, by the cotton and wadding manufactory belonging to Mr. Duprey (of No. 60, Aldgate, and also No. 23, , Norman street, St. Luke's), situated in Weymouth-terrace, in the Hackney-road, being discovered on - fire. The fictory stood by itself, in the rear of the houses in Weymouth- terrace, and was in extent between 50 and 60 feet in, length, 30 in depth, and about the same in height, the building, having formerly comprised three 'dwelling houses. There was a great quantity of machinery in different parts, which was propelled by a ten-horse steam engine on the basement of the factory, and at the outbreak of the flames the works were in full operation. As regards the origin, it is impossible to form the slightest idea, for it appears the workmen were sud denly alarmed by a body of smoke issuing forth from one of the machine rooms, and before there was sufficient time to ascertain the cause, the flames rose with extraordinary violence, and all were necessitated to effect an instant escape ; many, in fact, had to Jeap out of the first story window. The alarm having been given to the police, immediate intelligence was sent off to the various stations of the brigade in the east end of the metropolis, and in the City, but before any engines - reached the spot the fire had burnt throughout the factory, and was in a vivid blaze from the lower floors to the roof. On the arrival of the first engine, which was that of the parish of Hackney, it was conveyed up to the entrance, and got into play from a supply of water near the premises. Soon after, two horse-engines of the brigade, from Jeffrey-square and Whitecross street stations came, and were subsequently followed by eight other engines and about forty ,firemen ; many of them were directly got into operation, the plugs of the East London and New Rivei Compa nies emitting an excellent supply •of water, but notwithstanding the efficient exertions of 'the fire tnen, who were under the charge of Mr. Braidwood, the superintendent, the flames were not subdtted until the factory and its contents were all but burnt to the ground. Oa the ruins undergoing inspection, the folly of covering wood with sheets of iron, to prevent the ex tension of fire, was fully exemplified. One of the prin cipal rooms on the ground floor had been lined with iron throughout, even the doors and ceiling included, yet, strange to say, the damage here, though.the fire com menced in another part of the factory, was greater than in any other . portion of the ruins. The loss is stated to be very heavy. „ MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—Lord Francisßussell 'Was married on Saturday to Miss Peyton, at St. George's Church, Hanover-square. Immediately after the. ceremony Mr. Peyton gave a b. eakfast at his house in Chesham-place, to the following'members of the respective families :—The Duke and Duchess of Bedford, Lord and Lady John Russell, Lord Wriothesley Russell, Ladyllenry Rassell, Lord Charles Russell, Mr. and Lady Georgiana Romilly, Countess of Tan kerville, Lady Charlotte Fitzwilliam an d her two y oun ger sisters (who acted as bridemaids), the Earl of Orford, Lady Pollington, Lady Maria West and the Misses West, Hon.

' BRITISH BENEVOLENCE.—Mr. Wakley, M.P., h as received several letters from different parts of the country, containing remittances for the relief of Brown and his family, whose case appeared in the papers of last week. The police man on duty at Allsop-mews, where the wretched family re side, states that humane individuals constantly drive up in their carriages to the place to assist them. Mr. Wakley says that it is impossible to give even a remote idea of the amount of charity that is privately distributed in the metropolis.

A great many per-. sons of distinction attended the ceremony, and among them were the Russian Chargé d'Affaires and his Excellency Lord Cowley. The body is to be ,conveyed to St. Petersburgh, and afterwards,to Moscow. A letter From Copenhagen, April 2, says :—" Railroads are beginning to excite attention here, and within the last month the King has authorised different Societies for the construction of the following lines :-1. One from Copen hagen to Elsinore, about thirteen French leagues in length. 2. Another to cross the island of Zealand in its whole length, running from Copenhagen by Rothschild, Ringsted, and Slagelsee, to Corsocr_, the length of which will be about thirty-one leagues. Brthis line all communication between Copenhagen and the east of Denmark, as well as the rest of Europe during the period that steamers cannot ply in the Baltic, will take place. 3. Six branch lines in the Duchy of Holstein from the, main railroad now in construc tion between Kiel and Altona, which will unite the principal towns of Holstein together, and the North Sea with the Baltic." A letter from Berlin of the sth inst., in the Universal Ger man Gazette, says :—" The French and English Commis sioners who are at Berlin, for settling the Portendic affair, cannot apparently come to any satisfactory agreement, and Prussia will probably be obliged to name an umpire between Lem." According to accounts from Stockholm, the Queen Dow ager of Sweden intends to visit France immediately after the funeral of the late King.

The surmises lately entertained relative to the fate of this splendid vessel are-too -well founded. She was engaged in the late unfortunate Niger expedition, and it is stated that no vessel in her Majesty's service was more commodiously fitted up then the Wilberforce. Since the failure of that expedition, she has been com missioned to the service on the coast of Africa, under the command of Lieutenant-Commander , Richard O'Moore, and was, we believe, engaged surveying the river 'Gambia when she met with - the disastrous acci. dent. The letters received are dated September 6th, from which it appears that on the 2d of that month the Wilberforce was proceeding on a cruise along the Gambia, when, at about ten o'clock at night, the air bright and clear, the officers - and crew were alarmed by the vessel striking heavily _ upon apparently a sunken rock, which subsequently proved cor rect, it being situate oh the east side of the Dog Islands. As a precaution to save the lives of all on board, Lieutenant Moore-had the paddle-box life boats got afloat in case of necessity,. and every exertion was directed to get the - ship off the rocks ; her guns were thrown overboard,.also her cables, an chors, shot, and stores; but notwithstanding she be came a fixture, and by the following day it was found that the vessel was completely settled on the island, and the edge of the rock was protruding through her bottom, and she was half.full_ of water.
