ERE -SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 19, 1844. REPEAL iIEETING IN EDIN BURGH. A meeting took place in the Merchants' Hall, on I Thursday evening, for the purpose of expressing sym pathy with O'Connell, and to aid the cause of repeal by contributing to the funds of the Association. Although the meeting had only been advertised a day or two be fore the Hall was crowded, and numbers were unable to procure admission. Charles M'Caull, Esq., was called to the chair. The CHAIRMAN, in a brief speech, explained the ob jects of the meeting, and then introduced Charles Glen donwyn Scott, Esq., who was to peopose the first reso lution. Mr. SCOTT was received with rapturous applause. After alluding to the unavoidable absence of Dr. Grib ben, of Glasgow, and craving the indulgenceof the meet ing, he thus proceeded :—Sir, in the policy of the pre sent Ministers towards Ireland, they have exhibited the greatest amount of tyranny, injustice, and egregious folly of which the vilest Tory administration could be guilty. Is it necessary for me to remind you of the me morable day at Clontarf ? It was then that the first daring act of despotic power was perpetrated.—(Hear.) It was there the dearest right of the people was invaded —the undoubted constitutional privilege of public meeting and free discussion was denied and trampled on—and this too in a manner the atrocity . of which it is impossible to describe. Meetings similar to that at Clontarf had been held during the pre vious summer in every part of Ireland, and their legality had been tacitly acknowledged by the Government—the highest authorities had pronounced them legal—the most perfect peace had everywhere prevailed, and there was not only not the slightest pretext to suppose it ever would be broken, but the experience of the past gave ample assurance of the invincible determination of the people to preserve the most perfect order and tran quillity.—(Cheers.) The meeting at Clontarf was an announced for weeks before the day appointed, and yet no whisper of its prohibition was breathed or dreamt of. Hundreds—thousands —of persons, not only from all parts of Ireland, but from England also, were on their way to attend it ; when, as you are aware — on the evening of the day preceding, at an hour when darkness rendered it impossible to be read— the memorable proclamation was issued, and the meet ing was prohibited.—(Hear.) The morning came, and thousands and tens of thousands, anxious to evince their zeal in the cause of their country, ignorant of that pro clamation, or if they had seen it, very naturally consider ing it a hoax—(Hear, hear)—assembled on the plains of Clontarf. Was O'Connell there to receive them ? No ! an insulting array of military force, of mounted cannon and bristling bayonets, supplied the place of him they had travelled weary - miles to see.—(Hear, and cries of " Shame.") I can fancy, or rather I cannot imagine, the feelings of that great multitude—of that people who, keenly sensible of the many wrongs under which they suffered, then beheld the last remnant of their liberties —their undoubted constitutional privilege—torn from them by that arm of despotic power which had, for cen turies inflicted so many outrages upon their common country. It is said that Ministers must not be charged with any deliberate design of hurrying them into a pre mature rebellion ; but they cannot be acquitted of the awful , o enilt of hazarding that dreadful risk, and I myself have heard some of the supporters of Government give utterance to the fiendish, the damnable, the cowardly wish that the people had given some pretext on which, defenceless as they were, the British bayonets might have been employed in a general massacre.—(Cries of " Shame, shame.") But that people were mindful of their great vow of peace—O'Connell commanded, and they quietly dispersed.—(Loud cheers.) A prosecution followed this first act of tyrancical oppression—a trial which in the annals of law stands, I believe, without a parallel. It is not my intention to go through the details of that trial—the facts connected with it are so Universally known—they have excited such universal disgust and reprobation, that it is unnecessary for me to do so. The trickery that was so unblush ingly resorted to, the dropped list—the exclusion of Catholics and Liberal Protestants from the jury— the packing of it with O'Connell's open and avowed enemies—the indecent, the virulent speech of the Chief Justice, a speech that has never been defended even by his own party—the verdict thus obtained, which the whole world has pronounced unjust and unfounded—the monstrous decision against the motion for a new trial— the sentence, and the incarceration of O'Connell and his fellow-patriots pending upon the writ of error; these cireumstances, and many more I have omitted to men tion, all combine to render this trial the greatest legal farce ever enacted—the Most palpable mockery of jus tice ever witnessed=one of the vilest pieces of tyranny ever perpetrated.-;-(Coatinued 'cheers.) Sir, are these proceedings to be allowed to stand as precedents for the adoption of the present or future Administrations? If so, there is an end of. pur vaunted freedom ; there is - an end of free discussion, and: the, right of public meeting - and petition ; our liberties. and our lives will be at the mercy of packed-juries and reekkss judges.—(Hear, hear.) Permit all law and con stitutional principle to be thus outraged, and then no bilger dream of healthful agitation to ameliorate the sufferings of-the people. Prepare to become a degraded People ; ,to see your dearest rights and boasted liberties one by onetorn from you by despotic power, and only to be regained through all the horrors of /evolution. — (Loud • and continued' cheering.) No.! the , people of Great• Britain—not only. from , selfish motives, but for a, generous sympathy for Ireland, whose caseis -now ex citing their attention—will indignantly protest against the conduct of this atrocious Ministry. Sir, it is a sacred duty . for every friend to human freedom, to the great principles of justice, to the dearest interests of humanity, to raise his indignant voice to swell that universal shout of execration which will teach Peel and Wellington they can no longer set their heels upon the con stitutional rights and liberties of the people ; that they can no longer be permitted to endanger the peace and stability of the empire.—(Cheers.) Let Scotchmen, proverbial for their caution and their fore sight, be now warned in time.(llear, hear.) Let Scotchmen, remarkable in every age for their love of liberty, now show their sympathy for Ireland. O'Con nell is in prison !He commands peace—he is implicitly obeyed ; but who does not see that Ministers have placed the awful hazard of a dreadful and sanguinary revolution upon the slender thread of an old man's life ? Oh ! should that venerated martyr for his country's freedom die in a felon's cell—(Great sensation)—should he, the champion of universal freedom—should he, whose long and glorious life has been devoted to the happiness and redemption of his native land; should he expire through the tyranny of those who, by all the means that human inquity could invent, have cast him into prison, what human power could stay the wild, the universal outbreak that would ensue.—(Loud cheers.) Could the Ministry, then, for one moment, depend upon their Irish troops?—(Cries of " No, no.") Could they depend upon their gallant English ones? Do they not know that the Irish people would, to a man, i rise to the :great conflict for justice and revenge, that then, as Augustus O'Niel . has told us, O'Connell's grave would be the rallying place for the sons of freedom. — (Immense cheering) Then, Tara, thy countless thou- j sands—no longer assembled under the banners of peace longer to listen to him who preached its hallowed doctrine, but to avenge his death, warmed by their country's wrongs, maddened by the fate of him, their t chosen leader, their idol and their chief—then, Tara, thy countless thousands would nobly die in that great and . , last strife for liberty and vengeance, or plant their standard of triumphant victory, crimsoned with the blood of the:: usurper and the tyrant, upon thy summit of ancient glory.—(Tremendous and long-continued cheering.) Sir, my last proposition is, that Ministers have been guilty o f th e mos t egregious' folly—they have wished to crush repe a l—h ave th e y done 'so? Why, -the repeal rent this week is upwards of 3,200/ —(Cheermg.) Is your ardour abated ? Is your confi:, dence and veneration for O'Connell diminished ? No ;' they are increased a hundred-fold—l have never before] seen your enthusiasm so gloriously evinced. Has not' 'the determination of the Irish people placed repeal onl such a vantage ground that no Government can now con =tend against it ? Repealers, let us show onr feelings on O'Connell's imprisonment by our renewed, redoubled, "enthusiastic exertions in that cause for which he now - suffers. Persevere, for the peaceful victory is now within our reaeh. - Dr. Tvrtlx proposed the next resolution, commenting 'severely on the wrongs of Ireland, particularly . the State - Church. Hey made an allusion to the determined stand of the Covenanters, when a similar injustice was attempted to be inflicted on Scotland ; and called upon the meeting practically to show their sympathy with Ireland, by subscribing to the funds which were to be applied to work out her regeneration. Mr. AITKEN followed. In proposing the third resolu tion, he remarked on the unfair treatment extended to Ireland, eentanding that the meetings held in Edinburgh , pirious to the passing of the Reform Bill—with their ilags,'death's heads and cross-bones, their inflam• ..'lnatory-harangues and intimidating proceedings—might, perhaps, have, justified the interference of Government-4 vonlyit did not suit their purpose, hut they now attempted to ernsti the Liberator of Ireland, because he had held , meetings' the leading characteristics of which were the _ immense Multitudes which attended, and the peaceable - manner, in which the proceedin were conducted. The address t o M r . O'Connell g was then read by Mr. }LARKINS, which, with all the resolutions, was carried amid the most unbounded applause. Frequently the . speakers were interruptedly the whole of the auolience rising and joining in cheers. - • After the address jtad been: ado pted,it was announced, amidst much cheering,' that Mr. Scott would convey it • to Dublin, and present it to the Liberator at Richmond • Penitentiary. the receipt 'of the rent then com menced, and in a short time the amount exceeded 50/ which, being announced, elicited applause. - • Three cheers were then given for the Queen, th ree for O'Connell and repeal, and three groans for the Emperor oftßussia; and the meeting dispersed in the most orderly manner.—Catedonian Mercury. DEATH OF JOHN LAINEON, ESQ., LATE ALDERkAisi or 13READ-STRELT WARD.—thi M on day morning at an early hour, and after a most protracted illness, died John Lainson, Xsq, at his residence, No. 58, Euston-square.. The deceased gentleman for :'nearly 10 years filled the office of Alderman of Bread-street Ward, in which lie hid carried on business under the firm of Lainson, White, and Co., for nearly half a . century,. He succeeded the late Mr. Alderman Atkins, in 1830 ;. and served the office of sheriff in 1838. In 1842, the period (owing to the rejection of Alderman T. Wood) for his being chosen as Lord Mayor arrived, he being the senior • alderman ;. but feeling himself incompetent to perform the : duties of that office; on account of ill-health, he resigned the alderraanie own, and Alderman 'Humphery was elected , Lord Mayor I n his stead. His resignation caused one of the ,v-most Severe contests known in the City for the vacant gown, A.exininated in Mr. Hughes being elected, after a t.. , :icr,4l42lthich lasted several days.

GLOBE.—The vote of Friday night on the Sugar Duties, by which the " strong Government" of Sir Robert Peel was left in a minority of 20, in a full House, if it] did not take the country by sur prise, at least roused it from the state of apa thy in which it has too long indulged re specting public affairs. All kinds of rumours were rife during Saturday, Sunday, and yesterday, as to the course which Ministers would take under circum stances at once humiliating and embarrassing— so strongly condemnatory of their policy by their own supporters, and consequently portentous to their existence as a Government. Cabinet Coun cils were held daily. The Carlton Club was convened by special summons. Its drawing-room was crowded. Consternation was strongly depicted in the countenance of many of its Members ; by whom the possibility of a dissolution of Parliament was re• garded with dread—an event not merely fraught with the loss of legislatorial privileges, but involving an abandonment of the pleasing hopes of more substan tial advantages, by which they have been sustained. As the hour at which the House of Commons com mences business approached, the neighbourhood of the House became the scene of considerable attraction. A long double line of well-dressed persons from Palace yard to the door at which the Members enter the House, was formed early ; while groupes of ten or a dozen were seen in warm debate as to what was likely to be the result, or listening to some one who pretended to a clearer insight into things to come than those around him. An unusual number of police were in attendance—a precaution that was deemed necessary by the authorities ; but their functions were wholly un called for. The crowds were perfectly peaceable, and indeed good-humoured. Some Jokes were indulged in at the expense of the Government, which recently appeared to bid defiance to assault, but now seemed tottering to its fall, from sheer inability to keep its professed sup porters [together. Whatever might be the feelings of those within the House, those assembled without ap peared to anticipate the disruption of the Ministry rather with satisfaction. Scarcely an expression of regret was uttered for its position. All seemed to concur in opi• nion that an early termination of its career was inevi table ; and to glory in its supposed inextricable diffi culties. Within the House of Commons the scene was interesting and even impressive. The strangers' gal lery was filled immediately the door was opened. At least a hundred, who had obtained Members' orders, were compelled to remain in the corridor, where they waited, in hope that by the retirement of some who had been more fortunate than themselves, they might get 'admission before the debate at which they desired to be present had come to a close. The lobby was inconve niently crowded ; and the police in attendance had con siderable difficulty in keeping a passage for the ingress and egress of Members. The seats under the gallery were early filled with gentlemen who had obtained Speaker's orders ; among others, we observed Lord Morpeth, who, we are happy to say, appeared in good health. His Lordship took a marked interest in the scene. By half-past four the House was filled. By a quarter before five it was inconveniently crowded in every part ; the Members' galleries not less so than the body of the House. The reporters' gallery was also filled, several of the editors of the public journals having obtained admission thereto, that by personal observation of what passed they might form a more correct idea of the actual state of the Ministry, its intentions—the disposition of the House—and the probable effect upon the country, than a mere perusal of the debate could af. ford. Precisely at five o'clock Sir Robert Peel en tered the House. He proceeded to his accustomed seat with a slow step ; and evidently under the in fluence of subdued, if not depressed feelings. His coun tenance indicated—at least so we thought, and the im pression was confirmed by the expressed opinion of those more familiar with his appearance than ourselves—intense anxiety. Not a solitary cheer from the Ministerial benches greeted him as he passed. He took his seat in silence. After a pause, the Premier moved that the House resolve itself into Committee on t the Sugar Duties Bill. This was carried pro forma. The Speaker left the chair, and Mr. Greene, the Chairman of Committees, took his accus tomed seat. The Premier then rose, amid a silence in so large an assembly truly impressive. Every eye was fixed upon him. His manner was embarrassed and his voice tremulous. For what he said we refer to the ample report of his speech, which we give in the accustomed place. The only passage of interest, in a speech of more than an hour and a half, was reserved for its close. The oration was dull, stale, and unprofitable. It was a mere recapitulation of what had been much better said in support of the Government proposition Of Friday, which had been negatived by the House, and was now re-urged as a justification of the Go vernment, in adhering to their plan, and calling upon 'the House to re-consider and reverse its decision. The humiliation of Sir Robert Peel was not com plete when he closed his disjointed and dull oration. 'The silence with which it was listened to, unbroken by a single cheer to exhilirate his depressed spirits during its delivery—if we except one from Colonel Peel, which, though evidently given as a hint as to what was ;expected, was not responded to—was but the precursor of severe reproof's, cutting sarcasms, biting reproaches, 'and significant warnings, from , Members who rose in succession on his own side of the House, interspersed with, and relieved by, crushing arguments, and blistering reminiscences, from the Opposition benches. Lord John Russell, in a speech of no ordinary excellence, vindicated himself, and the Opposition generally, from the futile charge of combination which Sir Robert Peel had brought against the majority by which his proposition had been negatived on Friday evening. , The Government obtained a reversal of the vote of Friday night, and carried its proposition ; but in a way which has abated nothing of the sting of the defeat which its scheme originally sustained. A majority of twenty-two adopted its plan. The most extraordinary efforts were employed by the Government to gain this majority. The character of several of the Mem bers of the House has been stamped with in consistency, and has received damage, past all hope of repair, in the estimation of the coun try. Nor is this all. Eleven Members of the Op position benches—the leaders of the Anti-Corn-law League—conceiving that the Ministerial plan promised to advance with greater rapidity the abolition of all import duties voted with the Government. These eleven gentlemen, ultra free-traders, reckoning twenty two on the division, constituted the precise majority by which " the strong Administration" of Sir Robert Peel was saved from defeat, and consequent dissolution! And yet the Right Honourable Baronet had the indis cretion to talk of unnatural combinations of parties hostile to his Government! Can any imaginable com bination be more unnatural than that by which he is preserved from the necessity of putting his threat of resigning office into immediate execution? STANDARD.—In the House of Commons, last night, Sir Robert Peel stated at great length the reasons of the course which he had proposed with respect to the sugar duties, and the line which he had resolved to pur sue if the House should persevere in maintaining the vote of Friday night. It is wholly impossible to do jus tice in an abridgment to either portion of Sir Robert Peel's speech. The proof of the sound policy of the Ministerial arrangements, and of the mischief that must follow the adoption of Mr. Miles's resolution was complete. The Right Hon. Baronet's treatment of the political bearing of the late vote was not less success ful. Sir Robert Peel, as a Minister of the Crown, pro poses an arrangement in the gravest part of his duties as a Minister, which arrangement he thinks the best for his Sovereign and country; and which, as he proved last night, is in strict conformity with all the opinions that he pro fessed when a leader in opposition, and when the party to which he belongs recommended him to the favour Of the Crown. Mr. Miles, and a few of the Right Ho pourable Baronet's professing friends, fancying that this arrangement might " touch their breeches pockets," make themselves strong by an alliance with the old de clared enemies of their party, and, by a surprise, steal a vote against the Minister. The Minister declares that if this vote be not rescinded he will not remain in office ; and what unfledged biped, except a Whig, would submit to the ignominy of remaining in office without power ? Yet this is called tyranny on the part of Sir Robert Peel. Now it seems to us, that the tyranny is all on the other side, all on the side of those who, by concert and arrangement with their own and his political enemies, would compel a Minister to act according to their will. Mr. Miles and his friends they were who placed the question in the position that the minister must obey the party, or the party the minister ; and the minister would be, in deed, unworthy of his station if he should submit to them. There are a great many circumstances essentially dis tinguishing this case from the cases of the Factory Bill and the Dissenters' Chapels Bill, on both which we think the Government might have yielded without dis credit. The Factory Bill and the Dissenters' Chapels Bill were not measures necessarily within the routine duty of the Government ; any Member of either House of Par liament is free to bring in such Bills—to abandon either, therefore, would not be to neglect an official duty. The reverse, in all respects, was the case with the Sugar Bill. The opposition that the Government met with upon the Factory and Dissenters Chapels Bills was not factious, was certainly not intended for the purpose of either displacing , or bullying the Government, or working any private job. The names of the leaders of that opposition prove the perfect purity of the motives which urged it. Lord Ashley and Sir Robert Inglis are not men to soil themselves with the mire of faction ; and the hundreds of thou sands of petitions out of doors, even without the vouchers of such high and spotless names, must acquit the opposition to the Factory and Dissenters' Chapels Bills of being the effect of hostility to the Government or of any unworthy intrigue. Mr. Miles's resolution had no high names to vouch for its honesty, had no support out of doors to prove its national popularity ; and so ill concealed had been the disgraceful intrigue which led to the coalition move ment, that it was known in the early part of last week on Friday we ourselves copied from the the trick, at leas t a Morning Herald vesrixyteeanngrhyouarrstiebleefodreenoirciwnug playfd. This was a kind of hostility to which no Minister could submit, and to which no Honourable party could suffer itself to be permanently committed ; accordingly last night Mr. Miles's resolution was, upon a j ority of 255 to- 233. The debate was a nima t ed. loonesainriarditi:elselra, motion of Sir Robert Peel, in effect rescinded, by a ma clear li gh t, by a ; but Mr. Kemble We have already spoken of the sp eec h r • sLo in rd an Sta ad t e i y r ' a s bly e effect. Mr. which will not putne next t t hbee wholebest se questioneh w a made a speech few words whichh whic h pr surprised i a s ed gre s a o t m e e ff , truly appreciates this empty astonish any one who ever puffed person. He, Mr. Benjamin .1) 11 , was pleased to talk of the servility of the Conservative party—of men (as the Chancellor of the Exchequer happily remarked) "at least Mr, D'lsrael's equals in p oint of rank, station, and birth, and. in the ponsi eration of the country." They had need to be- OA 01141kah if they did not first see the light in Houndsditch, obtain their education in an obscure attorney's office, and seek to win a discreditable livelihood by writing wretched novels. But enough of this person ; we hope that last night has finished him. We congratulate the country, and more particularly the honest Conservative party, upon the result of last night's debate. The dis cussion and the explanations leave no longer any doubt of the just and free relation subsisting between the Ministers and the Conservative party. TlMES.—Thanks, we must say, to Sir R. Peel, Mr. Miles's motion seems to be bringing the political world again into " inextricable confusion." All was going on as smoothly as a Gravesend steamer—the Conservative Ministry swinging along with fair wind and fine weather, and suddenly we are in the midst of a thunder storm. First comes a flash from the House of Lords, then a clap from the House of Commons, and now we don't know what black cloud may burst on our heads. Inauspicious rumours of resignation are heard and are contradicted; mysterious meetings of the Cabinet Couu cil, and quarrelsome meetings of the Carlton Club, appear and disappear, and Sir Robert Peel utters grave and signifi cant sentences, not wholly easy of interpretation, but which appear to indicate a determination to carry his measure, or retire from office. "Be the consequences what they may," he says, " the Government will abide by its original propo sition." Sir R. Peel seems suddenly to have found out how much more difficult it is to give up his own present will than the past principles of a party. Twelve years ago, in spite of the determined opposition of that Right Hon. Gentleman and those who adhered to him, the Reform Bill shifted the whole basis of political power in this country. Sir Robert was among the first to proclaim and exemplify the necessity of adaptation to the new state of things. What others impatiently bemoaned he accepted without loss of time as a "fait accompli." Nothing was more remarkable than the skill and rapidity with which he divested himself of those " old Tory" associations and rules of policy to which less pliant spirits clung with unavailing affection, but which were palpably incompatible with any permanent tenure of power under the new order of things. While others were indulging dreams of reversing the past he was engaged in adapting himself to the future—in ridding himself of the now obsolete principles among which his youth had been passed—in framing his thoughts, words, and arguments in accordance with the fresh basis of Government and the will of the new constituency. And what is this new order of things to which Sir Robert Peel so promptly transferred his allegiance? The Reform Bill has almost annihilated the ancient battalion of pure Ministerial boroughs. The Reform Bill supposed every voter to be a politician, and every repre sentative directly responsible to the judgments of his consti tuents. In part it has made them so, and a large frac tion at least of the Mouse of Commons can no longer plunge through thick and thin at the dictum of a party leader. The Reform Bill has broken up and equalised par ties. The great Liberal and Conservative parties are, after all, so nearly balanced in the House and in the country, and each is composed of materials so heterogeneous, that it is impossible to foretel what secession of a particular interest or party the circumstances of the day may produce, or how such a secession may affect the ordinary Ministeral majority. This may be very troublesome to Premiers and whippers-in, but it is an unquestionable and unavoidable fact ; and, as such, those who administer the affairs of the country must submit to it. They must obey to rule. They must " stoop to conquer." This necessity of conciliating "the public," as represented by the House of Commons, Sir Robert Peel saw clearly enough at a distance, and he modified his own course of policy and compelled his adherents—very much against the grain, to modify theirs accordingly. His conces • sions at the expense of his friends have been only limited by his apprehension of losing their support. As far as their interests and feelings are concerned he has shown a most determined anxiety to adapt his administration to the altered circumstances of the country and the House of Commons. But now comes his own turn. An adverse de cision of the House of Commons—of that body of whose pri vileges he is the unfailing champion—to whose regulations he exacts the most implicit deference—to whose service he has consecrated his life—whose authority he identifies with that of the British nation—this decision comes to test the genuineness of his devotion, and to try whether he is as ready to sacrifice to its authority his own crotchets as the principles and prejudices of his party. What does he say? " That, be the consequences what they may, the Government will abide by their original proposition." And why? Because, unim portant! though the question may be, it may prove a prece dent of future independence. It is no conscientious scruple— no generous compassion—no ancient party tie— no great national interest which arms the hand of the Minister against his former idol ; it is simply this—that he will not allow the House its way now, for fear it should ask to have its way again. He will yield nothing, simply because he is determined to be absolute. Truly said Mr. D'lsraeli that there was at least one slavery from which Sir Robert would admit of no emancipation that which existed on the Ministerial benches. He again de mands that the House of Commons should stultify itself. He again demands an abject recantation as the price of having dared to exercise against his will a right of judgment given —nay, rather enforced upon them—by the constitution which he recognises. He seems wholly to have forgotten all that the last twelve years should have taught him—to imagine himself again transported to the days of Pitt or Liverpool, and to enact the same crouching deference that a Walpole could fairly require from one whose constituency had its mar ket price in gold, and his vote in sinecures. And what is worse, the House appears to acquiesce in the demand, and patiently to atone for its short-lived assertion of independence by a double portion of such penance as its master enjoins. This may do for a moment—nay, possibly for a Parliament ; but it is for the Members of the House of Commons to con sider whether their constituencies will take exactly the same view of their docility as the Premier, to whose menaces they are so sensitively obedient. HERALD.—Sir Robert Peel last night explained in full the course which Ministers mean to take with regard to the sugar duties. It is, in a few words, to leave the colonial duties to be discussed next year, when the Property-tax .Bill shall have expired. Sir Robert Peel, when he asked for the property-tax as necessary to restore the finances of the country, and to secure public credit, asked for the tax for three years only. The limitation implied a promise that, as far as should depend upon Ministers, the Parliament would, at the end of three years, be in a condition to dispense with the property-tax, if it should think fit ; any measure, there fore, on the part of the Government calculated materially to diminish the revenue of the country, so as to render a renewal of the property-tax indispensable at the three years' end, would be a gross violation of faith ; the reduction of the tariff does not come under this description only because the tariff and property-tax were proposed and adopted together, making parts of one financial system thoroughly understood in all its parts when the implied pledge was given. This is quite plain and indisputable as regards the pledge and its accompaniments. Now the vote of Friday night is a direct surrender of 600,0001. per annum of revenue, and, to deal impartially, a surrender of equal amount must be made to each of many other interests. What, then, would become of Sir Robert Peel's pledge not to - cause the renewal of the property-tax to be indispensable in 1845? Men may complain that the resist tance of the Ministers to the vote of Friday is arbitrary and imperious ; but every one has a right to be arbitrary and imperious in resisting a call to sully his personal honour, and the Minister who would break faith with Parliament and with the country must sully his personal honour. Sir Robert Peel, no doubt, compassionates the condition of the West India planters, and would gladly relieve them ; but justice is due before generosity, and to keep faith is an essential part of justice. And what are the claims of the West India planters to a surrender of 600,000/. per annum of revenue? They were paid 20,000,000/. sterling for their slaves, and if this payment was inadequate, it was not the fault of the British Government or of the people of England, but the fault of the planters themselves ; and since the passing of the Emancipation Act they have largely participated in every relief extended to the distress of the people. No class of the Queen's subjects benefited so much as the West Indians did by the provisions of the tariff To come, however, to the true cause of the decay of "West India pro perty. Up to the period of the abolition of the slave trade in 1807, the plantation trade of the 'West Indies was carried on upon the" hypothesis that any quantity of slave labour might be had for money. Little care, consequently, was bestowed upon the lives and health of negroes, and none upon their morals. The abolition of the slave trade struck the first blow at the plantation trade. The produce of the islands began to decline, and in a few years after the abolition it was necessary to admit East India sugar into competition. This ought to have warned the planters, that as they were de prived of the foreign supply they must endavour, by reform ing the morals of their slaves, to provide a native increase of labour. They, however, neglected the warning, and things had become so much worse, that in fact when they received 20,000,000/. ten years ago, it all passed into the hands of cre ditors. Let it not, then, be pretended that the Emancipation Act caused the ruin of the 'West Indians—the seeds of ruin were sown long before. One fact is decisive. In 1832 the West Indies exported about 450,000,000 cwt. of sugar to Europe ; in 1842 but 250,000,000 cwt. ; this decline occurring when the West India trade was protected to a complete monopoly by a differential duty of 635. the cwt. Now, we ask every man of common sense what reduction Qf duty can save a country so circumstanced? Sweep away the last farthing of duty, and the progress of decline must continue, recording to the present tendency of the popula tion, until the West Indies shall not send a single hogshead of sugar to Europe. The strangest part of the late coalition is that some agriculturists seem to make common cause with the West Indians, though the case of the agriculturists is not merely different, but a contrast. The agriculturists claim protection, and justly claim it, because in their case protec tion is proved to promote both population and production ; and the very moment when, by the accident of the seasons, their produce becomes insufficient then protection disappears. For the agriculturists to make common cause with the West Indian is to embark their stock wantonly and knowingly in arl ing ship. POST.—Last night the Government 'proposition, which was negatived on Friday by a majority of 20, was virtually affirmed by a majority of 22. The numbers were-233 for Mr. Miles's motion, and 255 against it. This decision will create no astonishment. It appears to be the established rule, that, when the Minister threatens to resign, the en lightened men who compose the present House of Commons shall on Monday vote that to be white, which, on the pre ' vious Friday, they voted to be black. This rule has been followed now, and the fact settles the consistency of tha House of Commons as satisfactorily as Sir R. Peel did his own in his speech oflast evening. What the constituents of Hon. Gentlemen may think on the subject is another question. In the natural course of events they will, at no very distant period, have an opportunity of expressing their opinion ; and it is just possible that their consistency may also be shown in a reversal of their former votes. We are quite satisfied to bide our time ; we have not the vanity to think that anything we can say will be half so effective as what the electoral body can do. In the mean while, the fate of the West Indians is sealed by the triumph of the Minister. They have no longer the poor satisfaction of thinking that " another such triumph will ruin him." The deed is already done. ____ LAUNCH OF HER MAJESTY'S STEAM-VESSEL PORCUPINE. The interesting event of launching the Porcupine, the first vessel built at the royal dockyard, Deptford, since its re establishment, took place yesterday afternoon, at half-past two. There a large assemblage of spectators, and a great number of ladies were launched in the vessel. She was named with the usual ceremonies, by Miss Lucy Hill, the daughter of the gallant Captain Superintendent of the dockyard, Sir John Hill, and went off the stocks in easy and graceful style amidst the prolonged cheering of the company. Imme diately after she was afloat she was warped from off the slip wherein she was built into dock, where, from the excellent accommodation provided, the ladies were enabled to walk ashore. As the construction of the Porcupine is on a novel and peculiar principle, the following account may be interest ing to our naval readers. In appearance she is clean and handsome for a steam-vessel, with the unsightly paddle-boxes, and presents no remarkable difference from other vessels of her class. The frame of the vessel is on a new plan, introduced by Mr. 0. Lang, the master shipwright of Woolwich Dock yard, similar to that on which he is constructing the Prince Albert, 120; and the Porcupine is the first ever completed on that principle of " dowling " and bolting the timbers in separate pieces instead of one solid block. Her planking also is on a new plan—a modification of the diagonal plank ing of boats (brought forward some years since at Devon. P O 4. by Ur. Johns, late foreman of that yard) by Mr. 0. Lang, jun., the acting master- shipwright of Deptford Dock yard, under whose superintendence the Porcupine has been built. Instead of the old plan of fore-and-aft planking, with a single three-inch thickness, she has three one-inch planks, two of which are diagonal, dossing each other at:right angles, and the third or outside one is longitudinal. She has been exactly six months building. The following are her princi pal dimensions : ft. in. Length between perpendiculars ..... 141 0 Ditto of keel for tonnage .. 124 7i Breadth, extreme Ditto, for tonnage Moulded Depth in hold Burden in tons,, old measurement Ditto ditto, new ditto 293 In launching she did not break a quarter of an inch, and her light draft of water was afore 4ft. 1 lin., abaft sft. 1 lin. She was originally intended as an armed sloop, for service on the coast of Africa : but subsequently it was ordered that Captain Bullock (who very . much liked her appearance) should have her as a surveying vessel for the Thames, in which operation he is now engaged in the borrowed mail steam-packet Myrtle, from the Dover station. She will be coppered and sent to Woolwich, where it is expected she will be fitted in about six weeks. She is to have the engines which were taken out of the Black Eagle steam-yacht, of 130 horse power, with new tubular boilers. The Spitfire, steam-vessel, is ordered to be laid down im mediately on the slip whence the Porcupine was launched, and is to be 50 tons larger than the latter. The Spitfire and the Terrible steam-frigate, the largest in the service, build ing on the adjoining slip, are both to be launched before the commencement of the next financial year, April 1, 1845. Deptford Dockyard has much improved in appearance since its re-commission on the Ist of April last. We under stand, among other improvements, it is in contemplation to build a new roof over the large slip whence the Queen Char lotte was launched, and a new mould loft, to replace the old sheds with new ones, to repair the two slips, in such dilapi dated condition, and to convert the small dock into a slip. LAW INTELLIGENCE. HOUSE OF LORDS, June 14 EDWARD RAILTON, APPELLANT, AND THOMAS GADD MATTHEWS AND OTHERS, RESPONDENTS. This was an appeal from the judgment of the second division of the Court of Session, in an action at the suit of the appellant, for setting aside a surety bond for 4,0001., which he had granted to them for the fidelity of their agent or clerk at Glasgow, a person of the name of Hickes. The cause was tried by the Lord Justice Clerk, at Edinburgh, in August last, under the issue, " whether the pursuer, Edward Railton, was induced to subscribe the said bond of caution or surety by undue concealment or deception on the part of the defenders, or either of them ;" and the Judge having directed the jury, " that under this issue the concealment must be, Ist, of things known to the defenders, or which they had strong and grave ground to suspect ; and, 2dly, that the concealment, therefore, being undue, must be wilful and intentional, and with a view to the advantage they were thereby to receive," ex ceptions were taken to the charge, and they being disal lowed by the Court, the cause was brought up here by , appeal, which, being heard, was sustained, and the fol lowing opinions delivered : Lord COTTENHAM—My Lords, this is an appeal from a judgment of the Court below. Entertaining an opinion against the judgment pronounced there, if I had felt any doubt upon the subject, or had considered it a case which required more investigation of the facts than it has received, I certainly, should have been unwilling to dispose of it without: taking time for further con sideration ; but the facts are so simple, and the points are so free from doubt, that I see no reason why the the House should not at once dispoSe of this case. My Lords, thi.real question is, whether the way in which the arkiTe'cl Judge put this _case to the jury, and described to theta the duty they had to perform, was or was not consistent with, and properly applicable to the question and the issue raised for their consideration. The issue in my opinion very clearly describes the point which the Court wished to have investigated. The terms of the issue must of course be construed as they stand, but it is not material to look to the points raised in the pleadings for the . purpose of construction. If there were any doubts upon the meaning of the terms used, I would look to the summons for the reduction of the instrument of suretyship, and I find several facts ap pearing as having passed between the party who was the subject of the suretyship, and those by whom he had been previously employed, and I find the matter stated in these terms :—" That the parties totally failed to communicate the said circumstances, or either of them, or the existence of any balance on the agency accounts then standing against the said George Hickes, to the prisoner, or to the said Henry William Ilickes, and on the con trary, while they accepted and took possession of the said bond, they fraudulently suppressed and concealed the said whole facts and circumstances regarding the conduct and irregularities of the said George Hickes." There is an imputation made of direct fraud, or fraudulent intention, influencing the acts of the parties, and there is a direct statement of such con cealment. It has not been contended, and it is impossible to contend after what Lord Eldon lays down, in the case of " Smith v. the Bank of Scotland," that a case may not exist in which mere non communication would invalidate a bond of suretyship. Lord Eldon states various cases in which a party about to become surety would have a right to have communicated to him circumstances within the know ledge of the party acquiring the bond, and he states that it is the duty of the party acquiring the bond to com municate those circumstances, and that the non-commu nication, or, as he uses the expression, the concealment of those facts, would invalidate the obligation, and release the surety from the obligation into which he had entered. Now, when the issue in this case was tried, such being the points raised between the parties, we have nothing to do with the evidence in the cause, or the facts proved, _or the conclusion to which the jury might or might not have come under the circumstances; hut with the question whether the charge which was made them was such a charge as we conceive ought to have been made to them. The issue for their consideration was as a matter of fact, "whether the pursuer, Edward Railton, was induced to subscribe the bond of caution or surety by undue concealment, or decep tion, on the part of the defenders, or either of them," raising these two propositions, which were raised on the pleadings in the cause, either f which, if found in the affirmative, would lead to the conclusion of the the cause. The question, looking at the terms in which the matter was . left to the jury, and the mode in which the Learned Judge informed the jury they ought to perform their duty, is, whether there may not have been a ease brought before the jury for their consideration, of improper and undue concealment, which I understand to mean a non-communication of facts which ought to have been communicated, which would lead to the relief of the surety', although the non -communication might not be wilful and intentional, and with a view to the advantage which the party was thereby to receive. That which I find here extracted from the charge of the Learned Judge, I understand to be one proportion. The Learned Judge lays it down distinctly, that the concealment to be undue must be wilful and intentional, with a view to the advantage they were thereby to receive. In my opinion there may be a case of improper concealment, or non-communication of facts which ought to be communi cated, which would affect the situation of the parties, even if it was not wilful and intentional, and with a view to the advantage the parties were to receive. The charge, therefore, I conceive, was not consistent with the rule of law. I think that it narrowed the question for the consideration of the jury beyond the limits which the rights of the parties required to have submitted to the consideration of the jury. Without going further into the law which regulates the rights of these parties than that which was stated by Lord Eldon, in the case of " Smith v. the Bank of Scotland," we find that in a judg ment of this House, in the case of an appeal from Scotland; and, therefore, one peculiarly valuable in the case now under consideration, that has been declared to be the law. The terms used by the Learned Judge in directing the jury, having limited the question for their consideration much more than the rule of law would justify, it appears to be quite clear that this case has not been properly tried, that the exceptions were properly taken, and that the House is bound to pro nounce such a judgment as ought to have been pro nounced by the Court of Session. Lord CAMPBELL—My Lords, this case has been very satisfactorily argued on both sides with great brevity, but everything has been urged which could be for the advantage of the clients, or the assistance of your Lord ships; and having listened to all which has been urged on both sides, very attentively, I, without the smallest hesitation, come to the conclusion that the bill of excep tions ought to be allowed, and that there must be a new trial. The question really is, what is the issue which the Court directed in this case—" whether the pursuer, Edward Railton, was introduced to subscribe the said bond of caution or surety, by undue concealment or deception on the part of the defender, or either of them." The material words are "undue concealment on the part of the defenders"—what is the meaning of those words? I apprehend, my Lords, the meaning of those words is, whether Railton was induced to subscribe the bond by the defenders having omitted to di vulge facts within their knowledge which they were bound, in point of law, to divulge. If there were facts within their knowledge which they were bound in point of law to divulge, and which they did not divulge, the surety is not bound by the bond—there aro plenty of decisions to that effect both in the law of Scotland and the law of England. If the defenders had facts within their knowledge which it was material the seunrdeetyrsshdoiudlsi not te disclose,ac quainted in w m it y h, aonpdinwiohnichthtehe de-con cealmentf of those facts, the undue concealment of those facts, discharges the surety ; and whe ther they concealed those facts from one motive or another, I apprehend is wholly immaterial. It certainly is wholly immaterial to the interest of the surety, because, to say that his obligation shall depend upon that which was passing in the mind of the party requiring the bond, appears to me preposterous ; for that would make the obligation of the surety depend on whe ther the other party had a good memory, or whether be a w t a t s h a e p m e r o s m o n e n o t f good i nhis ss mind, o , r o whether e h r e h h e a d w a t s h e a f w a c a r t e s that those facts ought to be disclosed. My Lords, the liability, of a surety must depend upon the situation in which he is placed, upon the knowledge which is com municated to him of the facts of the case, and not upon what was passing in the mind of the other party, or the motive of the other party. If the facts were such as ought to have been communicated, if it was material to the surety that they should be communicated, the motive for upholding them, I appre hend, is wholly immaterial. Then we come to the direction given by the Learned Judge. The Learned Judge says, " The concealment, therefore, being undue must be wilful, and intentional with a view (that is, with reference to the motive) " to the advantage they were thereby to receive." Now, according to my notion of the issue, that is an entire misconception of it according to this direction, although the parties acquiring the bond had been aware of the most material facts which it was their duty to disclose, and the withholding of if they wilfully had i w n h t e i n e htiewn d ally w a i v th o h i d o l t d h e t h h e o m n_d , t i h f a t t h is y t d o id s n ay ot , forgotten them, or , if they thought, by mistake, thq in point of law or morality, they were not bound to dis close them, then, according to the holding of the Learned Judge, it would not be a concealment. But the Learned Judge does not stop there ; but he goes on " with a view to the advantage they were thereby to receive, introducing those words conjunctively, and in effect saying, it was not an undue concealment unless they had their own particular advantage in view. That appears to me a misconception. I will suppose that their motive was kindness to Hickes, to keep back from those who it was material to him should continue to have a good opinion of him, the knowledge of those facts, that it was a pure kindness on their part to preveLt those parties entertaining a bad opinion of him, and not from any selfishness this concealment took place ; although that might be the motive, yet the fact that he was in arrear, and had been guilty of fraudulent conduct, and that he was a defaulter, were facts which it was most material for the surety to be acquainted with. If those were held back merely from a kind motive to Hickes, and not at all from any selfish motive on the part of those to whom the bond was to be executed, the effect, in point of law, would be the same as if the motive were merely the personal benefit of the parties to receive the bond. It appears to me, therefore, that the Learned Judge has misunderstood the meaning of the issue, and that having told the jury that a concealment to be undue must be wilful and in tentional with a view to the advantage which the parties were to receive, that was a misdirection, and that it had a tendency to mislead the jury, that it was wrong in point of law, and that the exception to the direction ought to be allowed. Interlocutor complained of reversed, Bill of excep tions allowed, and a new trial directed. For the A ppellan t—Mr. Sergean t:Tal fourd and Mr. Fle ming. George Parsons, 4, Manchester-buildings, agent. For the Respondents—Mr. Kelly and Mr. Anderson. Deans, Hope, and Dunlop, Fludyer-street, agents.

The Court was occupied the whole morning in trying the case of Busher v. Gibson, an ac tion brought to recover the value of certain carriages, al leged to have been illegally seized under an execution by defendant. The case presented no features of any public interest. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, June 18. (Sittings at Nisi Prius.) NEWTON V. ROWE AND NORMAN. At the sitting of the Court this morning, Mr. Cockburn addressed the jury at great length, for the plaintiff. Chief Justice Tindal summed up the evidence. The jury retired to consider their verdict, and, after an absence of several hours, returned into Court with a verdict for the plaintiff on the first issue, damages one farthing; on the second for the defendant; on the third for the plaintiff, damages one farthing; and on the fourth for the defendant. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, June 17. (Sitting at Nisi Pritui, before Baron ROLFE and a Special Jury.) THE ATTORNEY GENERAL 20. JOHN DEANE -THE CUSTOM-HOUSE FRAUDS. (Continued from our paper of yesterday.) Several witnesses were examined on behalf of the defen dant, to establish the case stated by the defendant's counsel; which was in effect, that, under the denomination of " plain silk," the defendant had imported ribands of an inferior quality, made of in cartoons, which occupied the whole space contained in the three cases, and on which he had paid the full duty. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL. in reply. commented on the un satisfactory nature of the defendant's evidence, and the facility with which, if so minded, he might have called per sons who could have explained the real nature of the trans action on which the charge was founded. Baron ROLFE left it to the jury, upon a careful investiga tion of the evidence, to say whether the defendant was a party to any fraud upon the Customs in the importation which was the subject of the information. After a short consultation the jury found a verdict for the Crown, and assessed the single value of the goods imported at 2,8401., which renders the defendant liable to penalties in three times that amount. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COUR7'. (Before the RECORDER.) Daniel Dearlove, aged 35, chemist, was indicted for felo niously breaking and entering the dwelling-house of James Dearlove, and stealing two bank notes of 1001. each, eight sovereigns, and other moneys, his property. • Mr. Wilkins conducted the case for the prosecution, and Mr. Clarkson defended the prisoner. The facts of this case had very recently been before the public when the charge was investigated at Lambeth-street Police-office. The prisoner was the prosecutor's nephew. The jury returned a verdict of guilty, and the prisoner was also proved to have been before convicted of felony. The RECORDER inquired whether there was any clue likely to lead to the recovery of any portion of the pro perty? The officers said they believed not. Mr. PAYNE suggested that if judgment was respited, possibly the prisoner might give some information upon the subject. The RECORDER said that the robbery was wanton and mischievous, as the bonds and deeds were of great value to the prosecutor, while they were perfectly useless to the thief. Mr. PAYNE then exhorted the prisoner to give such information as would lead to the recovery of the property. The prisoner remarked that he knew no more about it than the table that stood before him. Mr. PAYNE remarked that no one could believe what he stated. The prisoner was called up for judgment, and sen tenced to be transported for fifteen years. The Court then adjourned to Monday, July I. His Majesty the King of Saxony, attended by his suite, and accompanied by the Lord Mayor, Lord C. Wellesley,Baron Gersdorff, and other gentlemen, entered the Court during the above trial, and sat for some time upon the Bench, apparently a good deal interested in the proceedings. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) CLERKENWELL. Two young men, named Downan and Hooker, were charged with the following outrageous conduct : The prisoners went into the upper gallery of the Sad ler's Wells Theatre on the previous night. The per formance had hardly commenced when they began to make noises of the most offensive description, and so loud as to be heard in every part of the house. Not withstanding the repeated cries of*" order," the pri soners became more vociferous, and the actors were unable to proceed with the performance, which was brought to a stand. The check-taker, Vincent Simpson, remonstrated with the prisoners, upon which they used such language as to disgust every body in the theatre. He attempted to remove them, but they attacked him, and beat him so, that the blood flowed from his mouth. At length the police arrived, and the prisoners were re moved to the station-house. In default of the payment of fine, they were committed to prison for seven days each, Two young men, named Andrews and Pratt, the one a potman, and the other a lodger in the Hare and Hounds public-house, Bloomsbury, were charged with stealing 41. and a watch, the property of Mr. Stedden, the landlord. The prisoners broke into the bar on the night of the 9th instant, and abstracted the money and watch, which were in the till. They immediately decamped, but were arrested some days after;--Pratt, the lodger, at the Queen's Theatre, in Tottenham court-road, and the pot man in St. Giles's. The prisoners admitted their guilt, and were com mitted for trial. Thomas Murray was charged with assaulting John M'Dermott. On that morning, between one and two o'clock, the complainant, one of whose arms was in a sling, and quite disabled, was standing in Church-street, St. Giles's, when the prisoner came up and accused him of being a "smasher" (aa utterer of bad coin). APDermott indignantly denied the charge ; whereupon a quarrel ensued, and blows were struck on both sides. It was proved, however, that the prisoner, a powerful man, struck the first blow, and afterwards beat the complainant so violently that the blood flowed profusely from his mouth. Police constable Allen came up and prevented further violence. The complainant is a musician, who ekes out a precarious subsistence by playing the violin at the humblest class of public-houses, but it appears sufficiently well to enlist the sympathies of a numerous body of sweeps, costermongers, and ladies of the pave, who accompanied him to the Court, and seemed to take a lively interest in the legal proceedings.—The prisoner was fined 7s. UNION-HALL. Thomas Hart was charged, before Mr. Traill, with gambling on Peckham Race-course. Policeman 262 P stated that on the preceding day the Peckham Races, near the Rosemary Branch, took place, and that he was stationed there by orders of the Commissioners of Police to prevent gambling. He had not been long there before his attention was called to a crowd, collected at a short distance from the temporary stand, and on going up he observed the defendant at a small table. There was nothing on the table at the time, but the defend ant was busily engaged in depositing something in his pockets, which, on being examined, were found to contain the articles for playing at the games of " thimble rig " and " prick in the garter." The defendant, however, declared that he had not had a single customer, and that he had not played at either of the games. In reply to Mr. TRAIL, the policeman said the race-course was private property, that it was inclosed ; but that a number of fellows intruded themselves by getting over the palings ; the defendant was one of those who got into the ground in the above manner. The defendant said that he had only just arrived from Leicestershire, and that being out of employ he tried to earn an "honest penny," not knowing the law forbad the old games of " and prick in the garter" on race courses. Mr. TEAILL told the defendant that the above games were unlawful, that on the present occasion he should not put the law in force, but warned him not to exorcise his vocation again on race courses. This advice the defendant said he should adopt, and he was therefore discharged, his apparatus being forfeited. We regret to say that Mr. Monypenny, W.S., died at his house, Moray-place, on Saturday last. Mr. Monypenny was brother of Lord Pitmilly, and long known in this city as one of the most upright and emi nent members of his profession.—Caledonian Mercury. IMPORTANT TO GROCERS AND OTHERS.--A fire, which might have been attended with very disastrous con sequences, broke out on Sunday night, in a warehouse be longing to Mr. Benny, of Winchester. It was discovered by the policeman on duty, who aroused Mr. Benny, and that gentleman, aided by his shopmen, succeeded in extinguish ing the flames, though not before considerable damage was done. The origin of the fire deserves to be generally under stood, as a warning to dealers in lamp oils. In the ware house where the oils were kept, the floor for sake of cleanli ness, was spread over with sawdust. This had been swept together on the preceding Saturday night, near to the door, which was found ignited, and there is little doubt that this heap of oil-moistured saw-dust had spontaneously taken fire. This opinion is confirmed by the experience of the South of England Insurance Society, who found from experiments leed,maantdteor.n_nk:lzirte c it o ( vz e r r e t t ei w . i . th sawdust, among the West of England clothiers, that even wool mois tened with fish or lamp oil, was capable of spontaneous com bustion when heaped together.
