Morning .. 4 minutes after 9 1 Evening .. 39 minutes after 9. aZ as— , . , SECOND EDITION. trienin 1,1 AUL LONDON, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1843, It cannot be denied that a very general feeling of satisfaction is evinced throughout the country at the return of Sir ROBERT PEEL to office, and it is a cu rious circumstance, among the many strange events which have occurred within the last fifteen days, that this satisfaction is by no means so manifest among the Conservatives and Tories, as among the different sections which exerted themselves at the last election to keep him still in the ranks of the Opposition. No common observer can be surprised at the result. A change of Ministry at the present time would have been attended with vast inconvenience—nay, it would have led to ruinous effects on trade and commerce. Business, for many months, would have been paralysed—no great commercial enterprise could have been undertaken with security, because the measures of a Whig Government were uncertain, their power was untried, and the most de termined opposition to their policy, however honour able to themselves or beneficial to their country, might have been expected from a certain portion of the Commons and by the great majority of the Peers. There success in carrying a repeal of the corn-laws in the former assembly was at the very best doubtful —in the latter it was considered impossible, without a new election, and even the effect of that would have been inoperative without a general commotion, and that " pressure from without" which triumphantly carried the Reform Bill. But a social earthquake like that (if we may be allowed the expression) cannot be got up every ten years, or every fifty years, and indeed, for the good of the country, should be avoided, except in extreme cases, such as when the lay Peers as well as the spiritual Peers forget their real position in society, look only to their own selfish interests, despise the great body of the people as serfs, fit only to obey their commands and minister to their wants, and obstinately refuse all just concessions till constrained by terror and force. Such a general rising at the pre sent time very few men would consider desirable, and all persons engaged in trade, all subscribers to rail ways, all who take an interest in our foreign rela tions, and indeed in the general welfare of the country, at home and abroad, are infinitely better pleased that the storm has blown over, and that Sir ROBERT PEEL, who has already done wonders, should be allowed to take the refractory Peers under his management, and make the at tempt to carry out to the utmost those principles of free trade of which he is the un doubted, and perhaps the most able, advocate. Lord JOHN RUSSELL and his party have, to their honour, for the lap four years, rendered him invaluable assistance in this great work; they sacrificed their own immediate interests, both personal and political, in the cause of equal justice to men of all religious persuasions; they acted as a body like true patriots, and their refusal to take office at this conjuncture, with such doubtful prospects of success and such certain derangement of vast commercial relations and gigantic internal enterprises, only furnishes another proof that they prefer the good of their country to the ephemeral enjoyment of place and the allurements of patronage and pensions. It is a matter of regret, however, to many, that Sir R. PEEL has not re constructed his Cabinet in a different manner, and that he still retains many colleagues with which both he and the public could well dispense. Lord STANLEY, it is true, is gone, but that is his own work. He and the Premier never cordially coalesced in office:; he was hardly allowed liberty of speech in the Commons, and sending him to the Lords was only a gentle method of laying him on the shelf. He possibly has been offended at last by the treatment, and seized the pre sent opportunity as the most appropriate for making his secession. By this resolve the country is benefited ; for the Government of the Colonies absolutely required modification, and while that aristocratic and obstinate Minister ruled the Colonial Department any material reform was utterly hopeless. Mr. GLADSTONE will be more pliable. From his natural habits and his peculiar education he can find excuses for change such as that he exhibited in reference to the sugar question ; and a short rusti cation, too, has its effect on statesmen as well as on conceited and refractory scholars. The Earl of ST. GERMANS will also be a useful acquisition to the Cabinet. He is moderate in his political opinions ; he conducted himself with impartiality and kindness towards the Irish nation, and, from all accounts, is a practical man of business, who can think for him self while he is not so bigoted to his opinions as to make their fulfilment, like some statesmen, the only condition is which he can remain in office. Excepting, therefore, Sir JAMES GRAHAM and Lord ABERDEEN, there is scarcely one Minister that the public care much about. The Earl of Lincoul de serves great credit, considering his family ties and position in society, for adhering to free-trade principles, and, above all, for consenting to a repeal of the corn-laws, which nearly all his " order " regard with so much horror. But, as for RIPON, and HADDINGTON, and GOUL BURN, the sooner they are out of office the better. Whatever they may have been formerly, they are now of no use. The Minister and the public anxiously desire that their places should be filled with better men. In the meantime, however, all eyes are turned to Sir ROBERT PEEL. He represents the whole Cabinet—he has it, we presume, entirely under his control, and on the manner in which he extricates himself from present difficulties, and reconciles con tending interests for the good of the nation, will depend his future fame, and his character as a statesman. Aide toi et Dieu t'aidera is the wisest of political maxims, and upon this maxim the Anti-Corn-law League have acted, are acting, and will continue to act. A meeting was held at Manchester yesterday, in the Town-hall, for the purpose of commencing the subscription towards the Great League Fund of a Quarter of a Million, and before the meeting sepa rated, 59,1601.—ye5, FIFTY-NINE THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY POUNDS sterling, were sub scribed towards the Great Quarter of a Million Fund. This is a demonstration which, in the words of Mr. BROTHERTON, is well calculated to inspire the free-traders with hope, and the monopolists with alarm. What will the "curry-powder Dukes " say to this ? Do they imagine that " the miserable monopolising minority," which they claim to represent, could raise the sinews of war thus easily ? Let them read also Mr. COBDEN'S promise, and they know full well that Mr. COBDEN never yet made a promise but he fulfilled it to the letter. "In less than three years from this time," said Mr. COBDEN, " I will undertake to unseat a hundred county mono polist Members, and place in their stead men who will vote in accordance with the interests of the people." We doubt not but that this demonstration will produce its effect upon Sir R. PEEL. The Right Hon. Baronet is a shrewd judge of " the signs of the ti me! ," and he must see clearly that the game is up with the protectionists. Should we unfortunately ha involved in war, the development of our manufacturing industry can alone enable the country to bear the heavy burden of additional taxation which must be laid u p on ga. 4 r RonExT PEEL (tannot forget tha magnificent present w hi p h his father was enabled to make to Ce 4144.7 THEATRE ROYAL, DRURY-LANE.

Does he imagine that it would have I been in his father's power to have done this had he been robbed of the fruits of his industry by an ini quitous corn •law ? The late Sir R. PEEL certainly was not of that opinion himself, for he, high Tory as he was, vehemently protested against the enactment of the corn-law of 1815, and foresaw and foretold the fatal results of that highwayman piece of legis lation. The wealth, the talent, the industry, the numbers of the country, are now with the League and Sir R. PEEL, who perfectly understands that, since the Reform Act, every Minister who wishes to retain power must adapt his mea sures to the interests of the people, and who, moreover, bath always entertained a wholesome horror of powerful bodies like the League, will not hesitate, if he possess the shrewdness and caution for which every one gives him credit, at once to throw the monopolists overboard, and by a total and imme diate repeal of the corn-laws dissolve the formidable League into its primitive elements. If he pursue this course he will have the firm and unflinching support of the League to assist him in his good work. " This meeting," says Mr. COBDEN, " gives me great pleasure, because from the first com mencement of it, not a word has been said about the changes of the Ministry that are going on every day. It will show every Minister what sup port he will receive from the country, and on behalf of this meeting I may say, with perfect safety, that Sir R. PEEL will have the support of the people of Lancashire if he will but come out and do his duty as a man and a Minister." To secure this support, however, it must be clearly understood by Sir R. PEEL that there must be no shuffling—no vanishing duty —no patching up of scales —no shift ing of taxation under pretence of compensation. The repeal—the simple, total, and immediate repeal of the corn-laws—is the measure which alone can secure to him the support of the League. On those laws the judgment that has been passed, and must be executed, is La mort—sans phrase. If Sir R. PEEL, as the executive Minister, will content himself with carrying that judgment into effect, the League—and the League is now the nation—will support him, and enable him to triumph over all opposition. If he hesitate, " the watchman " will be there, and he will keep his eye on all suspicious characters. " I beg to inform my friends," said Mr. COBDEN, " that it is not the intention of Mr. BRIGHT and myself again to attend public meetings, as we did last summer, be cause I believe we can be more useful in our places in the House of Commons." Owing to the very boisterous weather which pre vailed last night, we have not received the French papers of Monday, nor any continental intelligence whatever.

Sir Robert Peel arrived at his resi dence in Whitehall-gardens this morning from a visit to her Majesty at Windsor Castle. It is generally rumoured in the clubs at the west end this morning that overtures have been made to Lord Ellenborough to join Sir Robert Peel's Administration. The Duke of Buccleuch has left town for Scotland. SECONDARIES.-(THIS DAY.) There was only one case tried this morning, which was not of interest, but likely to last the whole day. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) William Kean, a carman, was placed at the bar before Mr. Jardine, charged with furious driving ar.d man slaughter. _ P;iliceman F 70 said that he was on duty yesterday in Holborn, and saw the prisoner driving a cart at a very furious rate. An old woman, who was crossing the road at the time, was knocked down, and the cart passed over her. Witness stopped the cart, and took the prisoner in charge, when it was found that the wo man was quite dead. He had since ascertained that her name was Elizabeth Lee, that she lived in the Old Kent road, and that she was upwards of 60 years of age. Mr. JARDINE said that he would at present refrain from giving any opinion on the case. He would remand the prisoner for a week, but he would be liberated on his own recognisances to appear at the expiration of that time, as, in !the meanwhile, he would have to appear before another tribunal. THE LATE ROBBERY AT THE TRAFALGAR HOTEL.— The four waiters, Bowen, Lake, Dancock, and Baites, were this day brought up for final examination, when the whole of the evidence given on the two former occa sions was repeated. This case having already appeared in the columns of The Sun, it will now be sufficient to state briefly the facts:—Mr. Lewis, a clergyman, of Cardiff; in Wales, was, on the 28th Nov., staying at the Trafalgar Hotel, Charing-cross. On that day he received from his bankers, Messrs. Glyn, Bank of England notes to the value of 1501., in ten 51., fire IN. notes, and one SOL note, which he deposited in his portmanteau in the evening, and missed at night. Suspicion immediately fell on Bowen, who was taken into custody, and afterwards made a confession. Some time after Lake made a con fession, in consequence of which, he and two other persons, named Woods and Bailey, were taken into cus tody, but the two latter were discharged for want of evidence. Nearly all the stolen notes have been received at the Bank of England, and several of them have been proved to have been changed by the prisoners Baites and Dan cock. The above facts, which were not clearly shown on the previous examination, were fully established on this oc casion, and the depositions having been taken at length, the prisoners were committed for trial, Lake and Boven on the charge of stealing, and the other prisoners for re ceiving the stolen notes. MARLBRO'-STREET.—(THISDAY.) Edward Lynch, a stalwart, powerful young man, was charged with street robbery under the following circum stances : It appeared that a respectable workman, named Ed ward Wheeler, living at No. 2, Lloyd's-court, St. Giles's, yesterday met the prisoner, whom he had formerly worked with at a job, and treated him with some drink. They adjourned to another public-house, and remained there during the afternoon. Between five and six o'clock the prosecutor was somewhat the worse for liquor, and the prisoner offered to see him horse. In passing through a bye court, leading into Wardour street, Soho, the prisoner suddenly and violently thrust his hand into the prosecutor's breast-pocket and grasped the contents, a sovereign, a half-sovereign, and seven shillings in silver. The prosecutor seized his hand on the instant and called police. A violent struggle ensued, and the prosecutor was thrown on his back in the mud, the prisoner falling heavily upon him. The struggle was protracted until the footsteps of persons approaching were heard, when the prisoner forcibly broke away and escaped. The prosecutor, however, retained in his grasp a portion of the prisoner's jacket. Information was given to the police, and in less than half-an-hour the prisoner was in custody. The prisoner said the prosecutor did not wish to press the charge against him. He (the prisoner) had friends in the Court to settle it. Mr. MALTBY—Let the prisoner be committed to New gate for trial, and the witnesses bound over. CHRISTMAS Puovisiozes.—Yesterday the various metropolitan markets exhibited a most extraordinary and abundant supply of all descriptions of provisions which have been imported from the country for the entertainment of those who have the means to enjoy themselves at this season of festivity; At no previous Christmas have Leadenhall and Newgate markets presented so fine a show of poultry, the fowls in general being in the best possible condition. Many of the trains had with them between five hundred and six hundred parcels; and one, the Norfolk train, which came in in the early part of the morning, had eight hundred parcels. Several wholesale doalers have forwarded between two thousand and three thousand geese, the supply being required' in consequence of the numerous geese clubs in the metropolis, in some of which there are above five hundred members. Turkeys fetched from 3s. to 255. each ; geese from 3s. 643. to 12s. each ; fowls, from 2s. 6d. to 13s. 6d. per pair ; porkers, from 6s. to 18s. and 18s. each ; hares, from 2s. 6d. to 6s, each, _ . PEPESTRIANISM. Yesterday the race between Patterson, of London, and Hartshorn, came ofF near the Roade station of the Birmingham Railway. The distance was over 180 yards, and the stakes were 25/. aside. At the start Patterson took the lead, which he maintained but a Short distance, when his opponent challenged him for the gpai. Both men struggled ter the victory, which Hartshorn obtained, yfiliniu b e yafd r • • MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE WS. CITY, QUARTER To TRREE. There was a fair business transacted in Cotton at Liver pool yesterday at firm and steady, prices. Sales, 4,000 bales, all to the trade. The Share Market was very firm, with a good demand for Grand Junctions. Yesterday's sale, by Messrs. Lamond and Co., went off at better prices, and much more business was done. In fact, there were decided signs of improvement:— Description. Paid Sold for.

There is little or no dispute, that as respects the Oregon dispute, the way is paved by the President for its adjustment, by throwing the onus directly upon the Legislature. And thus he will keep friends with those who brought him into power, and be enabled to plead a fair excuse for not going the " whole hog" in recommending war with Great Britain. Thus delicately does the President Polk shift the respon- sibility as to the question of hostilities upon the shoulders of Congress. It is worth while to bring this para graph prominently to notice. After recommending that the twelve months' notice should be given to England for the termination of the treaty of 1827, President Polk says : " The recommendations which I have made as to the best manner of securing our rights in Oregon are 9abtnitted to Congress with great deference. Should they in their wisdom devise any other mode better calculated to accomplish the same object, it shall meet with my hearty concurrence." That there are very remote ideas entertained of a war with the United States is pretty apparent from the fact that there is not a particle of speculation in saltpetre and other warlike stores. At a large sale of saltpetre held this day, there were no biders, all (about 3,000 bags) having been bought in. The accounts received in town to-day from the colonies are not of the least interest. The state of the markets for the Public Securities has been very satisfactory this morning, an advance having occurred of full 1% per cent., as compared with the lowest rates of yesterday. Consols for the Account opened at 944, and they have since advanced to 94% buyers, which is the price at the present writing. Bank Stock has advanced 4 per cent. on the lowest rate of yesterday; the Three-and-a -Quarter per Cents, 1% per cent. ; and Exchequer-bill s f rom 21s. to 235. premium. A considerable increase of business is to be n o ti ce d i n t h e Foreign Funds this morning, and at advanced p r i ces. S pan i sh Consols have reached 30 ; Portuguese Con verte d , 61 for the Account ; the Mexican, 31%; the Def erre d , 18 ; Pe ruvian 41; the Spanish Three per Cents. have b een at 40%; the Chilian at 96; and Grenada Bonds at 211/, Altogether the demand is good. Great Western Railway Shares have advanced from 152 to 160, the Hull and Selby from 1004 to 102 and 103, and all the other investments of this description, in which bargains have been made to-day, are firm.

During the present week the arrivals of English Wheat for our market have been on a very moderate scale, and of inferior quality. The show of samples of that description of Grain here was small; hence the demand for most qualities was steady, and Monday's advanced prices were well sup ported. Scarcely any free Foreign Wheat was on offer ; nOtertheless, the sale for that article was inactive, at previous quotations. The best malting Barley moved off steadily at full currencies. In other kinds, exceedingly little was doing. Malt, the aupp,ly of wbich was by no means large, sold slowly, and prices ruled about stationary. We have had a fair average supply of Oats on offer, while the Oat trade was tolerably steady at late rates. Beans, Peas, and Flour moved off in retail quantities, at but little alteration in value.
