The commercial accounts from France, ' Germany, nung,ary, and in short, all the wool- growing countries, announce a rise of 7 to 12 per cent. on the price of that article. At the late fair . at Breslau (Ist June) the buyers were -so numerous, that the whole quantity in the market was sold before the regular opening of the fair. The Chamber; without taking. any - repose, has just passed from one vast question , which it has iettled to another equally - important, which it is going to attempt to solve in a satisfactory manner—we mean the duty on tobacco. The most serious. objection, in one opinion, to this law is, that any duty - whatever will injure a branch of commerce which is important both to our sea ports and to our manufactories in the interior, Our principal exportatioat of manufactured tobacco is: far/ France, chiefly, it is true, by smuggling. This commerce ought not to be encouraged ; but in the prcsent,stete qf things, it should be preserved as it is, because it may serve as a means to induce France one day to modify its system of duties of customs i n res p ec t t o us . TITE HAGUE, JUNE 12.—The Members of the First Chamber of the States General are summoned Ibr Thursday, the 20th of June. The sections of the Second Chamber will commence on Monday the exam:- I nation of the projects of law relative to the firsOlo , k of the penal code, so that it may be laid before the Chain , htr_very _shortly. The Government has replied to the observatiyn of the sections of the Second Chamber r••specting- the pro ject of law for the redemption and convex: o;' the public debt. The explanation given by the Gotlrt - oreLt is of very great length, and appears. to be.... highly satisfactory. The Emperor of Russia. during his short vi,s,it here, conferred on many p ersons the insignia of varlo';fs Rus • sian orders. His Imperial Majesty gave 400 ducats to the poor of the Hague, and 300 ducats to the ujit - knieu in the dockyard at Rotterdam. AniquEtivr, JUNE 12.—The Emperor of Russia and suite passed through this town to-day, on his rtstoro to his dominions. THE IRISH STATE TRIALS. MEETING AT 'LIVERPOOL. - . On Thursday evening a meeting of the friends of civil and religious liberty was held at the Royal Amphitheatre, " to take unto consideration the subject of an address to the Queen, for the discharge from prison of Mr. O'Connell and the other traversers, until the writ of error be decided by the House of Lords; and also' to sympathise with those gentle men under their late extremely severe sentence." The doors of the theatre were thrown open a little before half past six o'clock, and the capacious building began to fill rapidly. Before the business commenced ' the theatre was well filled, and amongst the audience were a number of females. • WM. BLUNDELL, Esq., was called to the chair, and briefly stated the object of the meeting. Several gentlemen thee addressed the Chairman, hut,, owing to the press of matter, we cannot find room for their speeches. The following addresses were unanimously agreed to ! " To the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty. "The humble address of the friends of civil and religions liberty,inhabitants of Liverpool and its vicinity, in pub - lie meeting assembled,— "We assure your Majesty we continue to cherish feelings of unaltered loyalty to your Majesty's sacred person and crown. "With profound grief do we inform your Majesty that several of your Majesty's loyal subjects ill Ireland are at the Present moment inmates of a prison for 'a constructive offence, a mode of accusation always deemed odious in a free State, and which, in their regard, is altogether tree of moral taint. " We feel that the law has been strained far beyond its legitimate grounds, and as interpreted by the Judges cif your . Majesty's Court of Queen's Bench in Ireland, has treoched on the rights of your Majesty's subjects to a free and lair dis cussion of political matters, and if permitted to become cur rent law, will tend to enslave your hitherto free people. ; " That State trials have generally brought the admir:lstra tion of justice into disrepute; and the late trial of ous: fellow - citizens . has inflicted a deep wound on it; for alt'aough un - pleasing to us is the t as k, we are compelled, ty imperative duty, to inform your Majesty of our opinior s on the silbject, and in which opinions we are joined by lt e vast majority of your Majesty's loyal subj ec t s in England—that the trial was not conducted on fair and just pfenciples—that the jury panel, the safety of the innocent, was fraudulently dealt smith, to the prejudice of the then, accused; and when an oppor tunity of testing that fra'ad in Court, by challenge to the array, was offered to you;; law officer, he declined. - • " That one of your l'afajesty's Justices in your own court - , the Court of Queen's,. Bench in Ireland, where your Majesty is supposed to be present, stated, on several occasions, that this dealing wit:n the jury panel was matter of grave suspi cion ; that the Crown Solicitor struck out the name of every person on tte jury who was of the same religious belief as the principal prisoner, thus wounding the feelings of your,Ma esty's faithful subjects in Englarid, and holding up, the pro fessors of that religion, which •- the one professed by t h e majority of th e inhabitants s he Christian wo r ld, as per sonsii not deemed wor th y of crec l it on their oaths. • . " That evidence was given against the prisoners which one of the Judges, on a motion for a new trial, said ought not to have been received, and which the late decision of the Eng lish Judges convinces us, your Majesty's loyal subjects, would not have been by them submitted as evidence to a jury. . " By these means has one who was deemed, and justly soy a benefactor of his fellow - countrymen,—the man who created a public mind in Ireland, and thereby coerced the great mea sure of emancipation to become law, and raised his fellow countrymen to the station of free citizens,---one of the bright est ornaments i - . your Majesty's dominions,—and that, too, pending an appeal to the highest court of justice in the land,— is now A prisoner in one o f your Majesty's prisons ',ll Ireland. " We therefore approach your Majesty, praying that your Majesty will be graciously pleased to discharrse the priStthera from all punishment, resulting from a %Potence which:we, your Majesty's loyal subjects, believe to 'oe the consequence of an unfair trial, and that measures be adopted to secure to your Majesty's . subjects in IrePand the constitutional right of freely discussing political 'subjects, as enjoyed by the people of this country." Loud cheering followed the reacting of this address. . Mr. Nicirotas Bet:srsoss,s.. then proposed the following ad dress from the frienda of civil and religious liberty, residing in Liverpool and its vicinity, in public meeting assembled, to Daniel O'Connell, Esq., Thomas Matthew Ray, Esq., Thos. Steele, Esq., Dr. Gray, Richard Barrett, Esq., and Charles Gavan Duffy, Esq., p r i soners i n the Richmond Penitentiary, under a sentence of the Court of Queen's Bench in Ireland, for alleged conspiracy : " Under the singular and unprecedented circumstances con nected with your late trial and your imprisonment, we feel it our duty to offer you our sincere sympathies. Whatever difference of opinion there may be amongst us with reference to the po litical question which has led to the present results, we have all witnessed with deep interest, and with considerable pain, the course of judicialAsroceedings which has terminat e d i n your imprisonment. We have noticed the disregard of the usual formalities of justice and the absence of that calm and. dispassionate exercise of judgment which should al7ays dig nify the judgment seat, and without which its decisions 1.06 1 3 much of their moral force. We have also noticed with as tonishment, that when you prayed for an arrest of judgment until an appeal could be made to the House of Lords, that prayer has been resisted by the law officers of the Crown, who have urged and obtained your immediate committal and im prisonment " Under these circumstances we consider the sentence which has been passed upon you to be void of moral force, your imprisonment to be without a stigma, and yourselves personally to be the victims of an undue exercise of power on the part of the law officers of the Crown. " We cannot conclude this address without noticing more especially the patriotic and laudable conduct of Daniel O'Con nell, Esq. He deservedly possesses the unbounded confidence of his countrymen, and he has shown himself deserving of that confidence by having used his influence and authority in preserving peace and tranquillity under the most trying circumstances, whi c h, w ith out his interposition, would pro bably have led to steles of bloodshed, and all the terrors of civil war." The meeting broke up with nine enthusiatic cheers for Mr. O'Connell. POST-OFFICES. —(From a Correspondent.) —By 9 Anne, persons engaged or employed in post-offices are sworn as to due performance of their duties, but this ob ligation does not extend to restraining them from dis closing the superscription of a letter passing through offices ; so that those engaged, or employed, might, to any prying friend they could confide in, make disclosures in this respect. Nor does the obligation extend to the denying any prying confidential being admitted within a post•otlice where he might have a sight of letters. No doubt, if any of these tricks were discovered, :disfnissal. would follow, but that would be poor satisfaction to those who had suffered by disgraceful breaches of confidence. On these scores the public have good ground for com plaint. _ _ The hay harvest has now become very general in this neighbourhood, and that ancient gentleman, "the oldest inhabitant," cannot remember so light a crop as is to be found on all the highlands, scare. ly a single shower having fallen on much of it since the stock were taken from pasture. Old hay continues to rise in price,, and as there is little in this neighbourhood will probably be much higher.—Cambridge Chronicle. THE MILITARY AND THE POLICE.—Vire arermo e o y f r r to hear that an ill-feeling prevails o n t h e part of some the military stationed at Exeter and the police,On Sun day last, one of the police officers was rude.ly thritst out; of the barrack-yard, whilst going there to bear the band pl a y ; and, last evening, one of the soldiers said to our informant, " only let the other two troops arlive here, and they would soon find out who were masters."-- Westo h Times. SHOCKING CASE OF FRATRICIDE.—O n Tuesday night last, Charl es B land Child, a married man with gt family, residing at Middle-row Camp Field, 'h a d hi s earthly career s u dd enly terminated' by the hand of his own brother, John Child, who resided in Pottery Field. The fearful deed was certainly committed under circum, stances of provocation, and whilst both parties. under the influence of angry passions, were engaged in an unna tural fight, The quarrel appears to have originated abvut sonletbiog the deceased's wife had said respecting Joh n Child, but little mention was made of it in the r.:vidence given at the inquest, of which we give an abstract below.. The inquest was held on Thursday morning last, in the Grand Jury Room, at the Court House, before John Blackburn, Esc,, and from the evide nce i t appeared that a quarrel and tight arose between the brothers. During the struggle Child stepped aside to a basket, took some= thing from it, whi c h p r ved to b e a k n if e, and stabbed his brother three tins .with it in the side. The unfor. tunate man f#ll and died alai ut instantly. The jury re turavl verdict of " Manslaughter."—Stafirord Paper. TWO CHILDREN STLIEFOCATED.—On Tuesday 'last, a poor woman living at Costessy, of the name of Ireson; between 44 and seven o'clock in the mcrning, left her fwohildren in bed in her cottage, and having made a fire for the purpose of heating a copper of water, she went to.a neighbour's. The fire consisted of deal apples and dead I.e.a•ve..i. In a short time, a Woman seeing some sm,4o. at the cottage, went in, when she discovered that a large quantity of deal apples and dead leaves which the woman had colleetedtogether, ignited, and the house was so filled with smoke that it was with difficulty she could make her escape, She gave the alarm, and several persons entered, the cottage, and the four children were found, to all appearance, in a dying state from the effect of : the sinolAe.

Sin,—Having been present at the Meeting of the British and Foreign Temperance Society, held at the Music-hall, Store street, and reported in your paper last evening, which states the meeting was, at intervals, of a most uproarious character, owing to the interruption of a large body of teetotallers, who congregated in gieat numbers in the Hall, allow me to say that there were not 400 persons in the whole meeting, and never could an audience have sat more quiet on any occasion—not even a single murmur escaping the lips of any present, notwithstanding the Chairman's opening speech being one continual attack on the principles of teetotalism. The disturbance was caused solely by the Chairman's refusing either to read, or to allow Mr. Miller, (who had been seated on the platform from the commence ment) to move an amendment, which he had previously submitted to the chair, and which he rose to move as the Chairman was about to put the resolution, the Chairman having intimated no dissent to Mr. Miller's proposition before he rose. Mr. Miller, in reply to a question put to him, stated he had been a member of the Temperance Society from the year 1838. The ap pearance of Boatswain Smith, so far from tending to enforce order, served only to create confusion and dis order, from the unfavourable reception he met with from all parts of the Hall. Marylebone, June 13, 1844. J. P. DRAPER. ANOTHER PEEP AT PEEL'S FRANKEN STEIN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—The monster which ee h as constructed in the churzliyards of Error, from mouldering absurdities and defunct blunders, presents a subject for almost interminable observa tion. But I purposely abstain from commenting on some of its parts, since- -with his,surpassing talent for self-contra diction—the Premierlas, in one or two, provided means, if skilfully used, for destroying every other part of his structure. In this communication, therefore, I shall confine myself to directing the attention of your readers, to the two main ob jects of Sir Robert's suicidal plan for destroying the com merce of the empire, and with it (poor compensation l) his own administration. The first object of this admirer of free trade principles in the abstract—(an admiration like that of the gourmand for a lovely turtle)—is, to give a monopoly of the paper circu culation to the Bank of England ; the second, to banish ,paper and substitute gold, to the utmost extent to which, by lunatic legislation, it can be effected. - Let us consider the effect of these measures-, First,—As to the Bank of England monopoly. At present that institution has a nullifier of breakwaters, or, to change the metaphor, outworks, in the private and joint-stock banks of issue—notwithstanding the perverse and suicidal ingenuity (borrowed, doubtless, from the matchless Premier)—with which the Directors have been labouring to destroy them, by getting the conductors of several banks to give up their issue, and take Threadneedle-street paper. In spite of their _efforts, however, there remain a great number of banks issu • ing their own notes. Upon the occurrence of a panic, or drain of specie, these outworks ate first attacked—the run upon them warns the Director! of the' Ilank.of Englisid4o prepare for an attack on their citadel. They get time for preparation ; and, more over, all the energies of the conductors of these banks are employed in collecting gold from the country at large, to meet the paper pouring in upon them. Let our prince of blunderers succeed in his object of sup pression of all paper but that issued in Threadneedle-street, and the attack is transferred at once to the doors of the Bank of England; and instead of having time to provide for a part of the paper circulation, the Directors are required instantly to provide for the whole. Oh, delightful results of the favour of an intelligent Minister. Truly, Sir Bruin, you will have killed the fly on your sleeping friend's n ose , b u t I f ear th e nose aforesaid will never recover its original formation. Now, for the second object, the substitution of gold for paper. The first slight objection is, the cost of this desiderated engine of transfer—twenty millions of gold must be paid for in goods of that value—twenty millions of paper may, possibly cost ten thousand pounds--difference against " Johnny," 19,990,000/.l—a trifle, certainly,'for the said un lucky the machinery of eprosperous times. merelynllu ti s " Chief Blunderer hs of transfer, rajunsfe g trh e , gentleman leseiumrpeaulpnoastteoi circulating thatm disburseoedairu medium is her Gracious MajestY, Victoria the First," will advise our millowners to ,exchange the wooden, iron, and brass wheels of their factories, for gold ones—the principle is precisely the same. • But the cost of a metallic currency is not the only point to be considered. _ _ At present, if a sudden demand arises for gold, (as for example, from extensive importation of corn,) no disturb ance in our circulation need arise —we have only to issue as much paper as will fill up the gap occasioned bythe exporta tion of gold. But make our circulation altogether metallic, (Peel's object), and there is no possible means of filling up the void. Oh ! sublime blunderer 1 who shall speak thy surpassing merits To the Standards and Heralds it was given only to vituperate commerce ' • to thee it is (for o ur i n i qu i t i es ) g i ven to destroy it. History has recorded the deeds of one Attila, " the scourge of God"—it has pleased the Supreme to produce and place inpower, a second. COMMON SENSE. GLEANINGS OF GREATNESS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. six,—We have been hitherto engaged only . with the grand and majestic, in considering the vast imaginings of Attila's rival. Let us give our jaded minds a little repose, by suffering our eyes to rest on the minor beauties of his work. In all we shall find the traces of his powerful mind ; and, as the mighty soul of a Nero could turn from the contemplation of a burning metropolis to the enjoyment of the agonies of an animal, so we shall find the pre-eminent destructiveness of our matchless Premier as decidedly marked in the details, as in the grand principles of a measure, to which history can present no parallel. Let us consider his rule, that no banker is to have out, in any one week, more than the average of his circulation for the last two years. The fact is, of course, unknown to the all-meddler, but ex tremely well known to thousands of others, that the circula tion of a bank, especially 'Men agricultural district, instead of being always nearly the same, is incessantly fluctuating, and the manager of such a bank can foretel when the channel of his river will be overflowed, when it will be scarcely half filled. Let us suppose that, at one period of the year, the farmers connected with a particular bank are obliged to lean heavily on it ; that. at another (when their returns come in), they can reduce their debt—that each period may be roundly taken at. half a year, and that the circulation of such bank, reaching to 200,000!. in the earlier, sinks to 100,000/. in the later period. It is clear that the average of the year will be. 150,0001., and this amount the banker may keep out all the year round. Alas ! during 26 weeks the permission is valueless, since he wants no more than 100,000/. ; and during the remaining 26 the restriction cramps his powers to the extent of 33 per .cent., he having the power to keep out 150,000/. only, and requiring just a third mor e ! Now for branches. On the present system each branch keeps not only its average issue, but avoids margin beyond, since its average is always liable to be exceeded. On Peel's Procrustes system no branch can hold more than its average, because, by possibility, branches A, B, and C, might otherwise issue more; and D, E, F, just as much as their average; and thus a total excess be produced, subjecting the head bank to heavy penalties. Now every one (but Sir R. Peel) knows that an average consists of the total of a series of excess and deficiency ; if the averag:. circulation of a branch, for example, is 10,0001., this average will consist of issues rising, perhaps, to 18,0004 fall ing to 2,000/, and by Sir Robert Ruin-all's system the profit upon all beyond 10.000/. must be sacrificed. Suppose, for example, that the Bank of has ten branches, to which 10,000/. a piece is assigned, the first five may have applications for 12,000/., one with another; the other five only to the extent of 8,000/., the application for 2,000/. out of the 12,000/. at the first five branches must be refused, for the agents cannot tell the state of the iron chests of the other branches. But the want of accommodation to customers, and loss of Sir John Broadland, living at a distance from the county town, places 3,0001. with branch bank A., and enters the agent's parlour one morning, statin g that he has purchased is not all —we must look to the depositor. ainpterreesttyt to o it t t h le e f il i a l l just on the confines of his property, and has engaged a place in the mail from (the nearest town) for that evening, having promised to meet his solicitor and the seller's in London next day, to pay for the farm. The unhappy agent turns pale, and, looking like the man who " Ope'd Priam's curtain in the dead of night, and would the deposit having laid with th e i r fi rm three years un changed,- he, the agent, was n o t prepare d f or the demand— that,have t o o f ld th h e im o ,hoooalfl. allowedhis Troy w as b urn t," t e ll s Sir John that o him from head. quarters, 9,0004 was used up. He offers to mount his horse and gallop to head-quarters; but Sir J. reminds him that they are distant 25 miles, and that the mail starts in two hours I Pleasant !—Both parties consign Sir R. to a place more distinguished for warmth than comfort, and separate in ill humour. COMMON SENSE. THE EDINBURGH PROFESSORSHIP OF Music.— An Edinburgh correspondent, a musician of the highest at tainments, gives us the following account of the gentleman who • has been successful in the much talked-of contest for the musical chair in the University of that city:—" By this. time you must knew that we have got a new pro fessor of music—Mr. Henry Hugh Pearson. He is a very gentlemanly young man, of amiable and unaffected man ners, liberal education, and superior musical talent as a composer and performer. An opera of his is now in re hearsal at the Royal Theatre of Dresden, The Elves and the Spirits of Earth, and it is much for him to say, that he is the first Englishman who has been so honoured in Germany. Some of the party opposing him here got up a story that he was unable to lecture from an impediment in his speech. That is not true, for I have conversed with him repeatedly, and heard him speak quite fluently, though he sometimes pauses for a word. This you will find every day, even among the cleverest men. I hope he will do credit to our university." TREASURE TROVE.-011 Monday last, as some fishermen were busily engaged on the beach at Milton, near Gravesend, their attention was attracted by seeing a small black object washed upon the sands a few yards from where they were sitting, but before any one of them could secure it it had disappeared. They continued, however, to keep a sharp look out near the spot where they had seen it, and in about half an hour afterwards they had the gratification of again seeing the object washed far enough on the beach to be secured by one of them. It was at first pronounced to be a mere lump of wood, but upon a more minute examination it was discovered to be a small tin box, which, upon being opened, was found to contain some parchment fragments, evidently part of an ancient bond, from the fact of seals being affixed, and some traces of writing being discernible. Besides which there was a number of gold and other coins, but of whose reign they were or what date they bore it was quite impossible to say, owing to the havoc water and age had made upon them. EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERY or AN IRON CHEST.— On Monday morning, between five and six o'clock, Police constable Redmed, 179 V, who was on duty upon Clapham common, found a large iron chest ; it was locked, and had painted on it the words " Waterman 'Steamboat Company, Woolwich." No attempt if diothr thebease purposen sis m ta a n d e e e, to conceal the chest ; on the contrary, it had been deposited of attracting attention. e ina wide etig u o:Pe chest n space the To s fh t stat i on-house, gr ound t ion-ho constable,us and information of the circum stance was immediately forwarded to Woolwich. On Tues day Mr. Bythesea, the Secretary to the Waterman Steam boat Company, attended at the station, and unlocked the chest; and it was, as that gentleman expected, empty. Mr. Bythesea then stated that the Company's counting-house was broken into on Sunday night or early or: Monday morning, and that This chest, which contained the bank book, cash book, and'other documents, but no money nor sec.:346es fit money, was stolen. Since the .rcit. l ,b,en , the Directors had re p a letter from the thieves, informing them that they Wei placed tile chest in the way of restoration, and they *red to return the books and documents for a certain sum q 4 cl f 4 nß ess °ll 4 Y ug . then} partiestig h we t r ll tA ki rigile fw eQ 9 lll o - itro ull s ic iole t , ° = the l bead of oßoxiana, ' but if uo communication was entered into within three days, the contents of the chest would be destroyed, The police are making active exertions to dis cover the thieves.

(From the Times.) So Mr. Miles has carried his amendment upon the Govern , ment proposal 'by a majority of 20. This is the fourth oc casion within the last three months on which the Govern ' ment has been beaten by . its usual supp or t ers; an d it ' be comes a grave fluestion how it will support these repeated discomfitures. On the Factory question it contrived to ex . tricate itself with considerable loss of credit, both to itself and its friends, by throwing its own existence into one of the scales. It commanded. the House to decide between accept ing its Bill and losing its somewhat imperious services. Sir Robert Peel would not consent to hold office, if a measure were passed destructive, as he declared it to be, to the very existence of British 'trade. This answered its purpose for the nonce ; but such a mena ce , if a t a ll capable of repetition, is plainly inapplicable to the two questions by which he is a t present embarrassed. Deeply mistaken as we consider the Premier's views of the Factory question to have been, they at least had the pretence of being "important if true." With the convictions which he professed on the question of industrial freedom or slavery, we can understand, though we grievously lament, his having staked the being of his Government on his ability to enforce them upon the Legislature. Not so with regard to Welch bishopricks or West Indian duties. We have here a pair of questions, important indeed within their sphere, deeply interesting to those who are Immediately concerned in them, but obviously confined in their effect— obviously inoperative on the general course of Ministeris2,, policy. To constitute them matters of life and death would be the mere undisguised despotism of office—would proclaim a determination that what is called the Conservative party, and every section of it, shall be allowed no word, or act, or motion, but subject to the summary ve t o o f th e P r i me Minis ter. This might he pardonable in a man who had contrived to unite half a nation in defence or development of a great and overpowering principle, Mr. O'Connta may with some plausibility require, as he does in fact obtain, such implicit obedience from those who feel that his words and deeds are the exponent of the one great idea in which their political , thoughts and aspirations • are one and all centred. But our present Premier has always cautiously shrunk from committing himself to such a position as this. The great problem which he has most ingeniously solved has been to weld together a mass of very heteroge neous material, without merging individual preferences, an tipathies, and theories in the absorbing pursuit of any one great and common object. He has succeeded in creating the opinion that he is himself a good man of business, an inde fatigable Minister, a respectable dispenser of patronage, a dexterous Parliamentary_ leader, and that a Cabinet formed and guided by him would'be a valuable check and modifica tion of the tide of, innovation which so many apprehend; but he has not identified himself—he has never attempted to identify himself—with the feelings or sympathies of his sup porters—he has used no arts of attraction —no efforts at ap-. proximation. On almost all points he•has cautiously avoided declaring himself; and when he has any - measure to carry, he shrouds himself in impenetrable mystery till the moment when he lays,it en the table of the House of Commons, and tells his supporters that they must swallow it. From such a position as this he has formed what is called the Conservative party—a party united in the first instance by hostility to the Whig Ministry and their Radical supporters, and kept toge ther we don't quite know how. He taught them to use their strength in turning out their enemies. That purpose they accomplished in 1841. Iu that triumph the original principle of union was exhausted; and we find some difficulty in de fining the feeling or principle which, after nearly three years' tenure of office, preserves to the party its present amount of coherency. It does, however, in some measure cohere; and Sir R. Peel's Ministerial capaciti es cons ti tute him (at least) its most eminent member. We do not mean this for praise or blame. We apprehend that with some verbal alte rations, it would be admitted by the Premier himself as a fair account of his own policy. But we say that a Minister who has chosen to himself such a leadership as this, has no right to claim from his followers that sacrifice of indivi dual feeling and interest which is due to one who shares their leading idea, or who has contrived to inspire them with his. We sacrifice our opinions to those who are more ex perienced, wiser, more influential than ourselves, only when we know ourselves agreed with them in prin ciple, and because we trust their power and judgment more thoroughly than our own in carrying those principles out. Sir Robert Peel does not teach—nay, does not allow, his followers to assume such an agreement. He does not en courage them to rely on his sympathy—he shows none for them—and he therefore must expect them to exercise their own judgment. Men will not serve one who is himself un fettered. They will give him what he gives them—alliance and co-operation, but not service. The very necessities of human nature require, that he should preserve their union by showing in the details of his administration unusual ten derness for their wishes, consideration for their opinions, re spect for their principles, and anxiety for their interests. And now what has taken place in these two late instances of Parliamentary mischance ? Ministers, regardless of the nature of their position and the composition of their party, have in both attempted to ride over a body of their supporters who had justice on their side. They seem to have supposed that the malcontents were uninfluential, and, right or wrong, could be put down. We cannot, indeed, yet charge upon the Premier the full responsibility of what has passed in the matter of Bangor and St. Asaph. " In discreet" things are, we kilo*, sometimes said and done in the Upper House, which he would scarcely adopt in full. Ob stinacy there has probably been somewhere among the heads of Church or State; but it cannot well be called consummate till we have seen what happens in that Assembly which is, after all, the moving force of the nation, and where the Premier will have to take the field in person. But the later case of the sugar duties is embarrassed by no such ambiguity. With this Sir R. Peel has made hi mse lf mos t di st i nct l y chargeable. The case has been brought before him clearly —urgently—dispassionately. Men who may, if such a con sideration be allowed to weigh on a financial question, have been the zealous and unvarying supporters of his party, and (which is a more unimpeachable ground of argument) who have been ruined by the legislation of the last few years, have pleaded for justice to 'themselves—have petitioned for no very extravagant modification of the blow which he has announced his intention to inflict upon them ; but Sir Robert Peel, it seems, unlike Sir John Falstaff, will concede nothing to his supporters, o e w .r fh c a e i p cph t r : hm ‘ ase up on on cce Ministero been p tuol Ministeriallysi compulsion"—he n withdraw' ' h f e thinks o : m any i t fractionf euannl promulgated.i e de a na t a h toTei tofnhhnatel purpose andduai ergo went n nprggdo i e ts t er : e i and again brought f b t l e a ero h t-- n i rt s e n o fhro e w i mm n i n .. p c_ i a o n n rt j s u y t e i La h b e l edhaaanldgedeirtbsieooenindt again vgitashijonen " Sed nullis ille movetur Fletibus aut voces ullas tractabilis audit; Fata obstant, placidasque viri Deus obstruit cures." Demanding, as he does, everything from them, he will yield nothing to their wishes. "The fates forbid." But in this instance the fates have been unpropitious in their de crees. The experience of Lord Ashley's case has apparently misled the Premier. He has been mistaken in supposing that if he•would not yield, his followers would. He has pushed the question to a Parliamentary trial, and has been beaten— fairly beaten. What may be the effect of this disaster we cannot foretell. But it will not be useless to Sir Robert him self, if it teaches him that he will sometimes provide better even for his own dignity by consulting the feelings and opinions of those on whom, after all, he is much more depen dent for support, than they on him for guidance. (From the Chronicle.) A great deal of excitement prevailed in political circles throughout Saturday and yesterday, in consequence of the defeat of Ministers on the Sugar Duties Bill on Friday night. A rumour was very current on Saturday that Sir Robert Peel had determined to resign. And we believe at that time there was some ground for this report. Two of the Minis ters, however—Lord Lyndhurst and the Duke of Buccleuch —were absent, and it was determined that they should be summoned to town to attend a Cabinet Council, appointed for yesterday. The Council met at four o'clock, and shortly after its separation it was known that Ministers had deter. mined not to resign. One of two other courses remained for them to adopt. They might either propose to rescind the vote of Friday night, or propose to re new the present sugar duties for another year. The former was known to be hopeless. Even the threat of resig nation has lost its effect. " Let them resign and be Cob dened," is now the exclamation of the exasperated squire and West India proprietor. Thore was no mistaking the cheer that greeted Sir J. Rae Reid's honest denunciation at the Downing -street meeting the other day. The only course that remained was to propose the renewal of the present du ties for another year. Against this Mr. Gladstone is said to have warmly protested. It was only on Friday night he said in his speech—" The Government might have ventured to propose to Parliament again the renewal of the sugar duties as they stood in the Bill of last'year. Now, he did not think they could, in justice to the consumer, have made that pro position, and if they had done so, they would have taken a very short-sighted view of colonial interests." In the face of such a declaration, how could he support the proposition ? We can easily fancy the derisive laugh with which his objec tion was met.. It was unceremoniously overruled, and at the Council last evening it was resolved to propose the renewal of the duties for another year, and to accompany the proposi tion by a Ministerial explanation. (From the Post.) During the last eight-and-forty hours the town has been agitated with all sorts of rumours, for which we feel justified in saying there is, up to the present moment, no other ground work than the fertile imagination of those who originated the reports. Not only has it been confidentially stated that Sir Robert Peel has tendered his resignation to the Queen, but that her Majesty was graciously pleased to accept it, and to open communications with the nobleman destined to suc ceed the present Premier. Indeed, the imaginative portion of the political world have been so industrious that we have ourselves received more than one list of the new Cabinet, We need hardly say that these stories are mere inventions-- mere experiments upon public credulity. We believe we inky state with some confidence that, at the late hour this morning at which we now write, the Minister has not tendered his resignation. The hostile division of Friday night of course rendered Ministerial consultation neces sary; and a Cabinet Council was therefore held en Satur day at the Foreign-office, and remained in deliberation fur a period of three hours. The Members present were Sir Robert Peel, the Duke of Wellington, Lord Wharncliffe, Earl of Aberdeen, Lord Stanley, Sir James Graham, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Earl of Haddington, Earl of Ripon, the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, Sir Edward Knatchbull, and Lord Granville Somerset. It will not be expected that we should bg Maja) to say what passed in the Council; but wi; Lave reason to believe that during the evep.ing.a. Watiaay, a Cabinet Minister de clart4 position 'of' the Government to be "very serious." Ttiit nothing definite was resolved on up to that time MAX not only be inferred from the declaration just nRe44OllO, from the fact that another meeting 01 ;04 Minotesa t.ooik place yesterday 4NI 1 19Vo Ow EArl of Aberdeen.

The question was virtually'made a Ministerial ques tion ; but the combined forces of the Liberals and of the West India Planter S--the latter influenced solely by. per sonal considerations—proved more than a match for the Government troops. It is supposed that Sir Robert Peel will endeavour to persuade the House to rescind the vote of Saturday morning, and thus again stultify itself as it did' On the Factory question. Sir Robert had better not try this game too often; and above all; not in this case. The present_ is a question which touches the pockets of the entire country. The result of the vote of Satrrday morning will be to make . sugar a penny per pound clraaper—which to the labouring classes is a boon of no inconsiderable magnitude. • To attempt, therefore, to rese_and the vote which the House has come to, and thereby snatch that boon from their hands, the moment it was given them, would be one of the mos t inju •dicious things whie: f i could be imagined. We are surptised to find in the list, of the minority the names of several free traders. Every reduction of duty is a move in the right direction, consequently ought to be en courage d by the free tradlr. The more the amount of duties is diminished, the nearer we approach the gaol of their entire extinction. The debate and division of Saturday have given another heavy blow to monopoly. THE • SPY SYSTEM. (From the Times.) The conversation which took place on Friday evening, re lative to a petition presented by the Member : for Finsbury, has been described by some of our contemporaries as most damaging to the. character of the Ministry, It was so. , It was damaging to their character; and, as things have now turned out, it may also be ruinous to their stability. If they have determined on dissolving Parliament, this occurrence is the most unfavourable by which their appeal to the hustings could be preceded. When other taunts have been exhausted, other accusations answered, and other recriminations ex changed, this reproach will still be urged against them, and urged with effect—that they were the first Ministry of late years that had resorted to the meanness ofespionage, and con descended to pursue a policy at once unconstit u ti ona l, un-Eng lish, and ungenerous. Si r J. Graham—the Minister solely im plicated in the transaction—did not affect to deny that he had issued a warrant by which the letters of a Mr. Mazzini were detained at the Post-office. He pleaded guilty to this charge. He avowed the issue of the warrant, but justified it by the necessities of State policy and two statutes. His adherents then attempted to suppress any further discussion of the matter; but the House proceeded to express its general and severe condemnation of such a system. And, truly, there was cause for indignation. The Home-office was arraigned for a treacherous breach of faith. which it was hardly credible could be charged upon the English Executive. Hitherto, it has been the peculiar boast of England that she is not as other countries, that her citizens are not liable to the same petty persecutions, the same rigorous police, the same insidi ous and incessant watching, the same dogging of their foot steps, opening of their letters, and prying into cabinets as harass the subjects of continental States. But this boast cannot now be uttered with justice. The national prestige has gone. The Home Secretary has not scrupled to order that the letters of certain persons should be detained and opened at the General Post-office. No man's correspon dence is safe. No man's confidence can be deemed secure; the secrets of no family, of no individual, can be guaranteed from reaching the ear of a Cabinet Minis ter, and, worse than that, of a Minister's officials. The apprehensions of commercial failures, the impending losses in the share market, the anticipations of a rise or fall in prices—everything which to a mercantile community ren ders security, no less than facility of correspondence, a matter of grave import—all these may at stated times , be no tified to a Minister, and published to the world. But it is said that great emergencies demand the occasional exercise of a power which, however despotic when carried to " excess, is nevertheless acknowledged by the statute law of the land. True. It may happen that such emergencies require the tension of executive authority. No one doubts it. And when such emergencies do arise, and are recognised by public opinion, they justify the application of harsh mea sures. But this constitutes the very gist of our complaint. s s a No such emergency has been demonstrated. N o case h as been stated. The Home Secretary contented hi mse lf w i th declaring, in general terms, that there were reas ons f or hi s conduct. But the House was not satisfied with this, nor the will course hi o c m h e Shecoreta pursued. was morallyThe j t w: h a e n c t ou su n c trz e b v e id s e o n . ce W as 'e w w o a n n i t d fh s c a ts tis ranciyrcureaonnacbels. We reasonable man in ans:set of men that the ; Home whole question is one of consitutional rights, and nothing else. Mr. Mazzini's character and habits and society are nothing to the point, unless connected with some certain or probable evidence of evil intentions or treasonable plots. We know nothing, and care nothing about him. He may be the most worthless and the most vicious creature in the world. But this is no reason of itself why his letters should be detained and opened. The only reason by which such a harsh proceeding could be explained and defended—the be lief. of some criminal design on his part—was not assigned. The Minister deprived Mazzini of his letters and his character at once ; but offered neither reparation nor explanation. The world, therefore, is left to imagine every conceivable ground of suspicion against a man who has been subjected to treat ment which nothing but the most extraordinary circum stances could palliate, and the most dangerous precedent has been established of a Cabinet Minister stretching the prero gatives of his office even to the violation of honour and of liberty, and then sheltering himself under an arbitrary con struction of a constitutional act. Such are the uses to which responsible government may be turned. Sir J. Graham must have been studying Vidocq and Fouche. (From the Advertiser.) The country is under no ordinary obligations to Mr. Dun combe for the spirited manner in which, on Friday night, he brought the conduct of Sir James Graham, in authorising tke opening of private letters at the Post-office, under the notice of the House of Commons. The parties complaining of the opening and detention of their letters were only four in number; bukit is not improb a bl e th a t ot h er s i milar cases have occurred. The admission was wrung from the Home Secretary, that in the case of Mr. Mazzini he had issued a warrant to the Post-office authorities to open his letters. Now, this individual being a foreigner, that circumstance constitutes a material aggravation of the offence committed by the above-named functionary. It places this country in the degrading position of playing the part of a spy and in former to a foreign Power. In this individual case the Home Secretary appears in the enviable character of a police agent to the Emperor of Russia. It is not pretended that the letters of Mr. Mazzini were opened at the Post office in con sequence of a suspicion that something treasonable towards this country would be found in them. The supposition was, that they would be found to contain treasonable matter in reference to the Government of Russia. Sir James Graham thus becomes the spy of Nicholas. It may be doubted whe ther Europe could produce two more kindred spirits. For the credit of our country—for the honour of the English name, let it be everywhere known that there is not another man in her Majesty's dominions who would be guilty of whit Mr. Hume called the "disgraceful," and Mr. Duncombe the "dirty" work, which the Home Secretary has thus performed to the Emperor of Russia. It has always been the boast of England, that the friends of freedom, when driven from other countries by the bloodhounds of despotism have ever found a refuge in England. Hence the exiles of all countries flock in crowds to our shores. If the espionage t sy io s n t e e d m o i r nt w ro in d k u e c d ed at b b y; . P Si a r J rli a a m m e e s nt ?r t a h h is am wo s o v l e d re he to be sa so no moue. We should no longer be able to boast of offering an asylum to the proscribed patriots of other lauds. The only vindica tion which that functionary offered of his conduct was, that he had the authority of an Act of Parliament for what he has done. The assertion is unfounded. No Act of Par liament confers any such authority on the Home Secretary or on any body else. It is true that, in the reign of Queen Anne, an Act received the sanction of the Legis lature, empowering Government to cause any particular letter to be opened by the Postsoffice authorities, pro vided Government were in possession of specific In formation which justified the belief that such letter contained treasonable matter. But the present is not a ease in point. Sir James Graham did not, and could not, pretend that lie had in his possession any information respecting the letter of Mr. Mazzini. It appears to have been a case of purely gratuitous suspicion, and ; consequently, an act of wanton tyranny. To open any letter in the Post-office, is declared by express statute to be, except in the particular circum stances to which we have alluded, a misdemeanour. It would be a novel spectacle, and one as gratifying in this in stance as novel, to see a Home Secretary standing at the bar of the Old Bailey. We should then have a practical proof that Ministerial responsibility is something more than a name—that it Is not, as has 'hitherto been supposed, a mere fiction, but an actual positive fact. That Sir James Graham should have acted as he has done, can surprise no one who has watched his career. There is not within the confines of Europe a man in whose composition there is more of the genuine despot. Our free institutions have prevented the full development of his real character. In Russia he would have eclipses) Nicholas himself. Ho would have been the prince of despots. As it is, he has gone great lengths. What h as hi s a d m i n i s t ra ti on o f aff a i rs in the Home Department been, but an uninterrupted series of ty rannical acts? This last is the boldest of the series. It is so gross and glaring, that not one solitary individual in the ouse of Commons ventured a word in his favourTheree he stood like a criminal i n th e pillory, exposed to the pitiless peltings of every Member who spoke. Nor is the matter ended. He has but received a portion of his punishment. t w taught with impunity b e ale e Mr. Duncombe is to drag hihima second time before the bar of the House and the public, when the school - boy remark, " Hit dou t b h t o n t not, be again system oc s h tr im ihi h n a g r is d \l }tan no nd iHe s mustsdsa , a will, be nn tempted to be introduced into this country. He IVitist be made to feel that the bare endeavour to engraft any of the more odious features of the despotic systems which• pre va il in foreign countries, on the free institutions of Engl an d, w i ll be to incur a responsibility of the gravest kind.

EXAMPLES. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. OXFOHD, JUNE 13.—The following paper has been issued by the Regius Professor of Divinity : Disputations will be held in the Divinity School for the degree of 8.D., on the following days, in the ensuing Michael mas Term :—Tuesday, November 12 ; Wednesday, 13 ; Tues day, 26 ; Wednesday, 27 ; Tuesday, December,3 ; Wednesday, 4 ; Tuesday, 10 ; Wednesday, 11. The Regius Professor of Divinity requests that candidates for the degree will give him an early notice of their intention to offer themselves, in order to a previous arrangement of the questions on which they are to dispute, and that they may be assigned their respective parts, as opponents and respon dents, in the disputations. Candidates must be of the degree of M.A., and, subsequently to their regency, must attend the lectures of the Professor, to be qualified to dispute in the Divinity School. The Rev. William Courthope, 8.A., of Christ Church, to whom Mrs. Denyer's theological prize for 1844 has been awarded, will read his dissertation in the Divinity School to morrow (Friday), at two o'clock. THE RETENTIVE MEMORY OF ISIS MAJESTY THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA.—When the present Rear-Admiral Thomas Brown was Captain of the Talavera, 74, in 1826, he had the honour of taking to St. Peters burgh his Grace the Duke of Northumberland on a spe cial mission. On this occasion Captain Brown was presented to the Emperor, who did him the honour to converse with him on several occasions, particularly inquiring in what part of England he, Captain Brown, resided, and desired that when he, the Emperor, visited England, Captain Brown would not fail in paying his respects to him. On his Ma jesty's recent visit to our gracious Queen he did not forget his old acquaintance, and the consequence was, that on Friday Admiral Brown was honoured by a Queen's messenger being sent to his residence at Southsea, desiring his presence at dinner that day at Windsor. The Admiral proceeded im mediately to town, but did not reach Windsor in time for dinner ; however, he had the honour of joining the illus. trious circle in the evening, of receiving a gracious recep tion from her Majesty the Queen, and a cordial recognition from his Majesty the Emperor of Russia. LYCEUM THEATRE.—The following distinguished persons have visited this theatre during the week :—Earl and Countes Bruce, Lord Gardner, Lord Wrottesley, Lord Lennox, Lord Hill, Lord Vivian, Lord Sherborne, Lady M'Donald, Lord Dillon, Lord Ranelagh, Admiral Stopford, Sir Edwin Stanhope, Hon.

Grant, Mrs. Egerton, Hon. Mr. Ramsay, Hon. George Knox, George Wombwell, Esq., Capt. Mitbrd, Villebois, Esq., Dyce Sombre, Esq., &c., &c. LAUNCH OF Tun IRoN SHIP QUEEN.—On Wed nesday, a fine iron vessel, built by Messrs. Thomas Wilson and Co., North-shore, was launched from their building yard, amidst a large concourse of spectators. She is for James Hartly, Esq., London, and is intended for the London and Exeter line, for which she appears to be admirably adapted. She is 140 feet in length, 22 feet in breadth (or beam ), 13i feet in depth of hold, and admeasures about 330 tons. Her model was much admired by the nautical gentlemen present. We lave seen no iron vessel, of whatever size, more strongly built—her thinnest plates being half-inch thick ; and, though very sharp at the extremities, such are her bearings that she is suited for a light draft of water. We need scarcely add, that in fidelity of workmanship she is excelled by no iron vessel yet turned out. A handsome figure-head of her Majesty ornaments the bow, with carved work on each side, and on the stern to correspond, representing sea-nymphs tritons, marine trophies, &c., boldly thrown out in relief: A number of ladies and gentlemen were accommodated on a scaffold at the bow. At about a quarter to one o'clock, all being in readiness, the word was given, the "daggers" were knocked down, and she almost immediately glided sublimely and steadily into her destined element, amidst the enthusiastic cneers and good wishes of the multitude on each side. The ceremony of christening was gracefully performed by Miss Wilson Green. She floated very lightly, and presented a very rakish appearance. She will, we learn be fitted with engines of 140 horse-power, on the most ap proved principle, and we have no doubt will turn out a re markably swift vessel. We may add, that the Duke of Lan caster, the splendid wooden ship (to which we alluded last week), also built by Mr. Wilson, will be launched next spring tides.— Liverpool paper. SHAKSPEARE'S JUG.—This relic of the immortal bard has found its way to Gloucester, having been purchased at Mrs. Turberville's sale by Mrs. Fletcher, the wife of Mr. Fletcher, gunsmith, of Westgate-street, in that city, who P urchased it for nineteen guineas and the auction duty. The jug is of cream-coloured earthenware, about nine inches in height. It is divided longitudinally into eight compartments, and horizontally subdivided, and within these the principal deities of the Grecian Mythology are represented in rather bold relief. It was demised with other effects of the immortal bard to his sister Joan, who married William Hart, of Strat ford-upon-Avon. The Harts subsequently settled in Tewkes bury, and the jug was preserved by them through several generations with religious care ; but a few :ears ago it passed out of their hands. Mrs. Fletcher is a direct descendant of the Harts, and by her spirited competition she has again brought the i n t e rpstillff rPIiP into tlip possession of her family, WIUW 'fiad f 94: `BO yenrsiireS4'vgd it.
