COMMERCIAL GAS-LIGHT AND COKE COMPANY. DRURY-LANE.-NEW RENTERS SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNA f,S A meeting of the Drury-lane renters took place on Monday last, the 22d inst., at the rooms of G. Robins, Esq., (who, in the most handsome manner, granted t h e i r use, not only for the present occasion, but whenev er re quired by the renters), to take into consideratio n th e best means to b e adopted for obtaining their ri g ht s , as s cu . r he cd to them CHAIRMANby Act (G . 0 fill3oabril Robins Esq said th a t l ie t. l had for years refrained from taking any part on the sub ject, trusting that justice would have been done to all parties ; but, finding that every day decreased the ch ance an d i nc r e ased the difficulties, he had at last conceived it to be his duty to join others in calling the present meeting. They had met, and the meeting represented more than half the new renters—a , circu ms t ance hi t h er t o qu it e unexam pl e d. For years they had been under a cloud, but the bright sun pro mised once more to shine upon them,and he hoped that unanimity would mark their proceedings, and that those gentlemen wh o night address the meeting would not compromise the dignity of the renters by reflecting on particular 'parties, however they might condemn the measures that bad thus forced them to assemble. He begged to observe that, as the renters could not art but by their trustees, their attention would be directed to the position they were then in as regarded the gen tlemen who now filled the responsible situations. He (Mr. Robins) had prepared himself to expect the result of mismanagement and consequent misfortunes that now pressed. so heavily on Drury-lane, but he confessed he had not brought his mi: - .cl to believe that this once legitimate theatre, wherein Garrick, Kemble, and Siddons had lent their resplendent talents to up hold and give it the supreniacy it so long enjoyed, should be diigraced for several months by the absence of all theatrical talent, and horses, asses, and wild beasts take their places. But the worst of all was still to be unfolded, the fearful degradation was now com pleted—for Drury-lane, under the present wretched state of management, had been consigned, and in the very heart of the season, into a one-shilling theatre. Fortunately it could not sink beyond this. It was in tended to move certain resolutions, one of which was to raise a fund, without which it would be impossible to carry on the war—not that they desired to come into collision with any party, but in the present instance money was absolutely necessary, to be fully prepared for that contingency, and to enable them to establish their right and obtain their own. Mr. Cana (who had kindly acted as Secretary, and called the meeting) pointed out the difficulties they had to encounter. He said a specific principle was laid down, by which they were guided in their appointing of trustees, and also as regarded the resignation of trustees, neither of which, he feared, had been legally aett.id upon, which (if true) would have the effect of placing them in the position of a body without a head. He, therefore, conceived that their first object should be to ascertain who were in reality their trustees. This fact. once established, the course to pursue was clear enough. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. The Times of yesterday, in an article concocted eith with evident care, holds out the olive breech to the finality section of the present Cabinet; pats it on the back far re sisting what is ingeniously called the " peuptr qualifier:- tion" and " universal suffrage ;" gently cautions it ie td " forfeit all hope of future peace er friere'seip" se! ! t ee "flourishing" Conservatives; and generously depreeetes its " worldly downfall" from acceding to the desites of Reformers generally, and afferding its co-operetion in the reconstruction of the Liberal party on a wider and fleeter basis. - If anything more was needed to arouse the :litiietry to a sense of its condition, and of the desirableness of a more decisive policy, the result should be secured by this Tory demonstration. For some time the y v have herd on every side the wi s h es an d warnings of tlieir frien6 ; advice of those whose dearest purpose is to efisse th it i fluenee, wither their reputation, end destroy them rind tins Reform cause together. The Times censures the curse we have pursued ; the Times approves of Whig finality ; the Times can dream of " future peace and friendship"; the Times deprecates the yielding of " the moderate and timid section" to the proposed " union among Reformers;" finality is in danger, and the Times rushes to the rescue ! We should like to know how the Ministerial opponents of further reform feel at this sudden discovery of sympathy by the Times. Does it give them no revulsion of disgust? Does it excite in them no suspicion of mistake ? Are they so simple as to trust the old serpent, even when his venous is most visible; Well, then, we must expose the fallacy of the day. The object needs no exposure. That is, plainly, to encourage the finality men to persist; to elieeate them yet more from the main body of the Liberals ; and to draw them on towards a treacherous and self-blasting defection to the Conservatives. For the possibility of a purpose so degrading to thee: being ever seriously entertained, the parties implicated have only their own mistaken policy to thank. The Tin - c.s believes in the baseness of their minds, because it pe:ceives the tendency of their course. It is for themselves, by their acts, to rebuke the tempter' s d ar i ng , w hi c h h ave t h ey unwittingly encouraged. The argument by which the Times pursues its object is this : an union of Reformers cannot strengthen the Ministry, for Reform itself is at a discount in the country it is a "sinki ng p ower; " the " popular alien a ti on " from Ministers is owing to their going too far (instead of not going far enough) in reform e the nation is Conservative; the Government must I e ruled by the same spirit." Suppose (which we deny) the facts to be as thus stated, the inferenca which the Times would impress on a portion of the Cabinet would thee be a valid inference for men utterly destitute of patriotism and principle; for such men, and for no others. But what is the bearing of this statement on the working of the Reform Act ? Was that measure intended to reduce Reform, to a " sinking power?"—to create a " popular elicitation" from its authors?—to render the nation Conservative, and bring Government under the rule of the Conservative or Tory spirit? If not, the Bill is a total failure, and the necessity of its amendment, the justice and policy of a I reform ef the Reform Act, becomes undeniable by any class of Liberal politicians. The only fact alleged by eur Contemporary in support of his sweeping aesertions is that " the appropriation Cabinet gave up its appropriation prin ciple, confessedly because no Bill containing such a clause could have been carried through a House of Comnioes, th e successor to that which had declared that without an eppro priation clause no settlement of the tithe question could ever be satisfactory to Ireland." We admit the change here in dicated in the House of Commons. The Ministry lost ground at the last election. That is our case, The% have lost more ground in public opinion sirce. Thoy hove lost it by their non-reform policy. Their settlement of the tithe question is not satisfactory to Ireland, and their settlement of the Reform question is not satisfactory TATTERSALL'S—YESTZRDAT. THE DEMI. 6 to 1 agst Mr. G.

BRUSSELS, ArftlL 22.—Though the signing of the treaty of peace by Belgium was expected, it has made an extraordinary impression, since many persons still doubted that peace would be concluded. _ _ _ Tlie journals of this morning, the Independent. the Emancipation, the Courrier Bclge, the Observateur Beige, Journal de la Belgique, &c., insert all the news from the illoniteur, and no one of these papers oppose the condi tions of the acceptance. It is probable that this is not the ease at Antwerp, where they will exclaim that no modi fication whatever is made in the duties fixed for the navi gation of the Scheldt. I believe I can affirm that in general the people of Belgium are extremely satisfied with the pacific settlement of this great question. They now hope and ardently wish that commerce and friendly relations between the two Powers will be speedily renewed, as equally indispensable to both. he the ev, iiii - - OAKS. 10 to 1 agst Captain Williamson's Drama—taken 10 to 1 agst Mr. F.

Guizot was sure that the Chamber would give him credit for being anxious to end the debar-; still he could not avoid sa ) ing something in reply to M. Odillon B-nrot exp'anatery of his own motives of ection. He had been accused of having assumed to himself a mandate on behalf of a certain party in the Chamber; but the fact was, that he had never spoken for anybody cxcopt himself; he as sumed no mandate of the kind. Ho had been accused of trying to raise a quarrel, whereas he had thought that he had expressed himself with moderation ; he had nev, r en. tertaiaecl any thoughts but those of conciliation. If the Ll.m. Menst - }Tr who had last spoken would recall to mind his (M.

S2 $ fig 4 SALMON.—The river Severn, in the vicinity of Shrewsbury, has lately been a source of much profit to those engaged in fishing. In addition to the large salmon noticed this day fortnigh►, as having been taken therein, several other fine fish have been subsequently caught, and sold in the town at a somewhat less price than was before stated. Wednesday afternoon, between three and f our o'clock, a dre adful accident occurred to a man named George Turner, aged 36, in the employ of Messrs. Sim mends and Co., coal-merchants, Lower Thames -street. After having delivered some coals at Islington, he got partially intoxicated, and rode on the shafts of the wag gon down St. John street, Clerkenwell. At the corner of Percival-street the wheel of the waggon struck the lamp-post; the sudden jerk threw him off the shaft, and 'he wheel went over his body. The bones of his face were dreadfully manglvd. He was immediately conveyed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital in a dying state. The annual general meeting of the Shareholders in the above Company was yesterday held at the Com pany's Offices, 60, King William-street, City, at one o'clock ; JAMES GOLDIE, Esq., in the Chair. piWilson n t s h i e ey, fo mllort.s J. g ßog gentle ers , • The following Di rectors were also present :—Mr. La enont, Deputy Ch a i rman, Mr. Butler, Mr. Lecesne, and m Ninfe r t . t e— ; Nir . of the. cnoDrew, and Mr. Fox. On the motion of Mr. BINGLEY, secondel I y Mr. ROGER, Mr. Goldie WAS called to the Chair. • The advertisement convening the meeting having been read, Mr. BUTLER, in the absence of the Secre tary, at the request of the Chairman, read the Report, which stated that J. A. Wilson, Esq., had been elected Director, and that J. H. Stuart, Esq., and M. J. Gambier, Esq., had been elected auditors ; that the t completet e the building contractors these o f t worksl e retort-house by had b een comp l eted, end the lease of the pre mises signed ; th at they had entered into a contract for h naentyd,s that osonl. and that o wasu thend e r Ist o naa f j dchimney, penalty un e im , of they were in a great state of forwardness at present. That they were a b out to enter into a contract f or t h e building of a purifying house. That -they were now applying to the different Paving Commissioners for per mission to lay down their pipes, and suggesting that advantage should be taken of this circumstance, to enter into explanations regarding the Company, with a view to induce individuals to become Sharksholders. That, as yet, the Directors had not brought the Shares before the public, but that they,. would be Ender the necessity of doing so, unless ex - eftions - were made to secure them in the locality. The Report concluded by stating the sanguine expectations of success entertained by the Diiectors, and congratulating the Shareholders on the prospect. The CHAIRMAN said he should be happy to afford any Gentlemen any information he might require with regard to any matters contained in the Report. Mr. Moan's said that with regard to the applications made to the Paring Commissioners those applications were necessary, because not even an Act of Parliament could give them power to lay down their pipes without leave of the Commissioners. Application had been made to the Ratcliffe Commissioners on the subject, and the existing Companies had canvassed them on the subject, so that although they did not refuse to let them lay down their pipes they managed to get the question adjourned until this Company should procure a requisi tion so numerously signed by the inhabitants of the dis trict as would warrant them in acceding to their re quest. Several of the Ratcliffe Commissioners were Shareholders in the rival Companies ; but if public opi nion could be brought to bear on this he thought they would not vote on a question affecting their private in terests in the way this did. The requisition had already received upwards of six hundred signatures, and he thought that before it was presented it would re ceive the signatures of ninety-six out of every 100 inhabitants of the district, and he did not think that the Commissioners would act in opposition to such a strong expression of the public opinion. He con cluded by urging the Shareholders to use their best ex ertions to promote the taking of shares. The CHAIRMAN said that the shares already taken had been almost entirely disposed of in the immediate locality. There were only two of the Directors and one of the Auditors who were not connected with the locality. Mr. BINGLEY was extremely desirous that the great bulk of the Shareholders should be consumers. The CHAIRMAN said, in reference to what had fallen from Mr. Morris, be had applied to ese Shadavell Com missioners, and had been favourably received. The subject had also been brought under the con sideration of the Mile-end Trust. The other Com panies had of course used their influence to prevent their requisitions being complied with ; but these attempts had been met by the Commissioners in a fair spirit, and he did not doubt that they would have justice done them. With regard to the Ratcliffe Commissioners they met on the occasion in question in much greater numbers than usual, and a considerable portion of them were avowedly connected with the other Companies. 1 hose Conanisioners had been appointed solely for the public good, and their only duty was to see that if they opened the p ave ments, they were in a condition to clos e th em aga i n, and he could not suppose that they would dare so far abuse their trust as to refuse the request of the great mass of the inhabitants. They had offered every guarantee that had ever been given on the subject. They had offered to light the whole dis triet—lanes and back streets, in fact everywhere that gas could by possibility be required. Mr. GOODWIN asked if the Bethnal-green Commis sioners had yet been applied to. The CHAIRMAN said that they had not yet applied to the remote districts, but that all would be applied to in time. Mr. Gconw/N was glad to hear that they had deter mined to light the back s:rects, as well as the tho roughfares. Mr. Mortals said a report hod been spread among the Ratcl.fre Commissioners that it was not tlifir inten tion to light the back str.•ets. The CIIAIIIMAN sail that it Lad been distinctly stated to those gentlemen that the Company was willing to light every back street, lane, or alley where gas could be re quired at a price less by 7s. Pd. than was now paid for it. An atteiupt had been malt to involve them in a general discussion as to the 'raking gas, he had declined entering into. Ile had stated to the Commis sioners that all they asked was that they would afford them the means of lighting the district ; that they were a liJna file substantial Corop.iny, possessed of property, and residing within the district, and therefore not to b.: confounded with any spe cu l at i ve bubble Companies. Several gentlemen corroborated this statement. The CHAIRMAN said that one of the Directors of the Badge Gas Company had sat at the Board of the Commissioners. He animadverted on the conduct of persons who pursue their private interests under pretence of pur,ming the public good. In the City the introduction of new Gas Companies was diffi cult, on account of the disturbance of the pavement in terfering with business, but such was not the case in the Tower Hamlets, and he expected that very shortly they would experience no difficulties of this de scription. Mr. BINGLEY—Many of the inhabitants of the City would be glad of the introduction of new Gas Com panies, if such a thing were possible, but the C9mmis sioners of Sewers were deeply interested in opposing it. Mr. MORRIS urged the Shareholders to come forward and enable the Directors to proceed rapidly with the works. He did not wonder the Ratcliffe Company did not like them, and as they should prove the destruction of that Company, who, by their oppressive and shame ful conduct, were assisting instead of doi 9 g as t e he o m s. I shares, as CHAIRMAN urged the.forthekripngur, second call - as it was desirous to would a not have occasion If they made an effort thavri call to addition. They were to to make more than one meet the Shadwell CaMenailissioner- en the 2d of' May, and he had no doubt t . ley would comply with their desires. the purchase of shares, as it de&res. again urged room announced would be very inexpedient that they should borrow monev. Several gentlemen in the their willingness to take additional shares, among whom was, Mr. BALDWIN, who moved that the Report be re ceived, which was seconded by Mr. Goward, an d car riesi unanimously. Mr. PILGRIM said he had received a letter from the Clerk to the Commissioners of Shadwell, appointi ng the early part of next week for a meetin g , an d he had no doubt but everything would ba done to forward the views of the Company. One gentleman had stated he would take a hundred shares as soon as the roof w as on the retort house. Mr. FRAMINGHAM moved that the thank s of the Shareholders be given to the Directors for their skill and energy in conducting- the affairs of the Comp any . This motion was seconded by Mr GOODWI N and car ried unanitnously. The CHAIRMAN returned thanks on the part of him self and his brother Directors. Mr. LAMONT proposed a vote of thank s to the Com mittee, which was seconded by Mr. WILSON, and carried unanimously, Mr. BINGLEY on the part of the Committee returned thanks, and to ik that opp ortunit y of expreg his de sire that the great bulk of Shareholders should be con sumers, so as to defea t mono p ol y , and secure a f a i r competition in gas as in any other comm o di ty. • Mr. BINGLEY moved a vote of thank s to the Chair man, which was seconded by Mr. Monals, and carried unanimously ; both gen tlemen passed a high eidognum on the Ch a i rman, who returned thanks, and tine meeting adjourned at three o'clock t o o,!tober next, the Chairman statin g that he would summon a general mee tin g o f the Shareholders before that time, should circumstances rende r it ex pedient. TEA IN TARTARY. — T h roughout the great Tartiri an di s t r i c t lying between the empires of Muscovy- and China, tea is taken with an ardour and frequency which must astonish even all European votaries of that highly -valued leaf. In the kingdom of Koendoa nothing is done without it, tea being hulled round at all times and hours, and giving a character to conversation of the most sociable and agreeable kind. The Usbees, who, above all, are extravagantly attached to this beverage, drink it with such delicate adjuncts as salt or fat, instead of sugar, inva riably exclude milk from the mixture, and when the pot i has been duly drained by a party, divide the leaves, and chew. them like tobacco. AGENTLEMAN observed that Sir T. Turton must be considered as a trustee, for he was recognized as one by the Act of the Ist of George I V., cap. 10. Mr. GREGORY, a member of the General Committee of proprietors, then rose to congratulate the renters on their brilliant prospect of success. He had been pre sent at a meeting of the proprietors on Saturday last at Drury-lane Theatre, when a resolution was passed to appoint a Committee to meet the renters, and endea vour to arrange affairs amicably. One thing he said was certain—the eyes of the proprietors were opened at last. They were tired of the present lessee, who he thought would not be many days longer connected with the theatre.--(Great applause.) Captain CARPENTER bad no hesitation in saying that the renters were grossly abused. They had wil lingly reduced their 25. 6d, to Is. 3d. per night, inde pendent of which they had subsequently relinquished no less a sum than 25,8001. to secure their future regu lar payments ; and yet for the last three years they had not received one penny. Mr. WARING, in proposing the resolutions, referred to the Act of Parliament. That of 1793 pointed out their rights, and how those rights were secured to them ; while the Ist George IV., c. 10, empowered them through their trustees to demand their money nightly, and, if not paid within three months, to proceed by dis tress to recover the same. He concluded by moving— " That a committee of ten be appointed, and that the renters be called on to advance, by way of loan, 11. en every share ;" which was seconded by Major JOHNSON, one of the trustees. Mr. ARDEN, a brother of one of the sub-committee of proprietors, opposed the propo s ed subscription. Major JOHNSON (also' one of the trustees) answered the of of the last speaker, and in an able manner proved that the case was, not so bad as he imagined. He at the same time called upon the - meeting not to be lukewarm, but, to obtain a great right,'to he content to sacrifice for a short time the sum required. The resolutions were then adopted without a dissen tient voice, a Committee appointed, and every person present (except two) paid their amount into the hands of Mr. G. Robins, who was appointed treasurer. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman and Mr. • Carr, who severally returned thinks, and the meeting adjourned to Monday, Ma s y 6, when it will again as semble to receive the report •f the Committee.

The Premier it would seem, to carry his point, invented a " Personal Wish," which he stated came from her Majesty to the Earl. He was however so pressed by the searching inquiries and cold bearing of the saturnine Lord, that be took fright, and to set all right, galloped off to Windsor, much perplexed, touching the " best method of making her Majesty's wishes known to herself."

This singular personage has not shaved his beard, cut or combed his hair, or changed his clothes during s period of upwards of twenty years, having a " vow in heaven" to that elf,:ct, in consequence of alleged injustice done him in a lawsuit in which be was engaged. Thomas says he is resolved to perpetrate this revenge upon him self till justice is done him by the laws of his coun try. At the period of the Queen's coronation this strange character resolved to demand fron► her Maksty in person that justice which he alleys was denied to him in the Courts below, but while passing through Edinburgh, which he had chosen as his route, his attention was arreeeed by some friendly advisers, who sent him back again to his so litary retreat in Ayrshire. While on a visit to Glasgow on Thursday, Thomas transacted business in the Royal Bank, where, it is said, he has a cash account to the amount of about 2,0001. _ On Wednesday evening an inquiry was gone into before Mr. Higgs, at the George, Drury-court, on the body of Eliza Payne Townsend, aged eleven years. It appeared from the evidence of sewral witnesses that on Thursday, the 12th inst., the deceased, while crossing the road near Blackmoor-street, Drury-lane, was knocked down by the horse in a gentleman's cab, the cab not p ass i ng over her. She was taken into the shop of Mr. Walker, sur geon, of No. 101, Drury-lane, who on examination found that the left ear was very much lacerated, and there was also a severe laceration of the inside of the right thigh. She,continued to go on well until Saturday last, when symp toms of a dangerous nature appeared, which terminated in violent spasms and lock-jaw, and she died on Tuesday morning. In answer to a question from a juror, Mr. Walker said there was no cure for lock-jaw. Verdict— " Accidental death," with a nominal deodand of Is. The horse and cab Here the property of J. W. Empson, Esq., a gentleman stopping at the Union Hotel, Coekspur-street, who has done everything in his power to alle‘inte the misery of the deceased's family. No blame whatever was attributable to him, the deceased having run completely under the borse's feet.

As for himself, he could declare that ho had never wished to ecmc into power, except in the name of his own party, and to cause the prin ciples of that party to prevail ; he never would accept office except in the name of the opinions he professed, and with out any personal ambition whatever. He was aware that he and M. Odilion Barrot wished different things; he him self was for the maintenance of the policy of the Juste milieu ; M. Barrot, on the contrary, disapproved of that policy; nothing, therefore, was changed between them. M. Barrot had attacked the laws of September as well as the disjunction law. Now, even M. Thiers had expressed himself for the former, thereby showing that the Doctrinaires and Centre Gauche agreed at least on that point. As for the disjunction law, it had never been passed, and was therefore out of the limit of the debate. M Odil lon Barrot, he knew very well, if he came into power, would endeavour to get the laws of September repealed ; and it tv as therefore very natural for him (M. Guizot) to wish for a majority, and a Cabinet consonant to his own political opinions. He would again protest that he had entertained no wish of promoting discord in the Chamber; he was sure of the purity of his own intentions—( Hear, hear)—all he demanded was to find a majority that should coincide with him in the opinions which he had ever faith fully maintained.—( Prolonged sensation.) M. Cunin Gridaine—l am happy in being able to an nounce to the country a fact that has resulted from this de aate, and that is, the fact that a spirit of conciliation ha; never ceased to prevail in this Assembly.—( Lou I and long_ continued laughter.) I took no part in any Ministerial combination, but I read the programme, and found it so con formable to my opinions and the wants of the country, that I was ready to sign it with both hands. The Honourable Deputy, after attributing the nos-formation of a Mid )try to certain personal susceptibilities, exhorted those likely to be called upon to form a new Ministerial combination to re collect the wants, wishes, and interests of the country. M. Mauguin—lt is time to bring this debate to a close. It has been proved that since the 23d of March, the Crown conceded every point both with regard to men and mea sures ; Ike rupture, then, must be attributed to hun who was charged with the formation of the Ministry. Much has been said of a programme. For my own part, lam no friend to programmes ; but this was allowed to be a very innocent one, and proved agreeable to all parties, even to the Doctrinaires. The reason of th's was, that as it spoke of electoral reform it pleased the Gauche, though the re form was to be postponed for the present, which was the reason that it was not disliked by the Centre Droit. It acknowledged the principle and the necessity of a conver sion of the Rentcs; but it was said that a favourable mo. meat must be waited for, and then nous verrons.—(Flear, hear.) IVith regard to Spain each held fast to his oxn opinion. After seine other observations in a similar strain, the Honourable Deputy added—" Oar programme is a Government for all and by all ; let a Ministry be f,rmcd according to this programare, and the entire of the Oppo sition will support it. True conservatism, that of p-o -gressive improvement, is in the programme of the Oppo sition ; but there a•e among our opponents a great many partisans of that retrograde Conservatism which leads the way to revolutions. Ido not think this the fitting moment for moving an address; but if the country should remain four or five days more without a Government I shall move a project of address." M. Girod (de l'Ain), Minister of Justice—Bat there is a Ministry. M. Mauguin—No doubt. But there are questions upon which you cannot cuter, because they concern the future ; such, for instance, as the sugar trade, the railroads, M. Girod (de l'Aain) reminded M. Manguin that the mission of the provisional Ministry would last as long a+ the crisis. They were Ministers in this sense of the word, that they were ready to transact the business of the country, and that they would perform their duty openly and firmly.—( Hear, hear. ) M. Alauguin explained. M. Teete was far from wishing to revive the debate. A programme had been drawn out which had obtained unanimous assent.—(Exclamations of denial from the Left.) Ho would say that all the individuals called on to rally under the banner of this new C.6:net adopted it, and he could not assent to what the Member who had just spoken had said of the secret articles of this programme; what was stipulated for by AIM Thiers and Dupin was but the expression of the truest principles of the Government. No one ought to be accused for the unfortunate issue c f these laborious negotiations ; there had been misunder standings and distrusts between men made to esteem and understand each other. There was no blame to 1:e at tached to any one.—(" Very well I" Loud cries of " f,lues• tion.") The debate was then unanimously declared to be closed. M. Passy resumed the President's chair. The Order of the Day, he said, was the interpellations relative to the affair of the English packet Express. M. Mauguin demanded that the Minister of Foreign Affairs should lay on the table the documents of the neg.). tiation relative to the English packet Express. The Duke de Montebello—There has not been any ne gotiation in this affair. The English Government has made no application on the subject, and consequently we have no paper s t o p ro d uc e. It was in the British Parlia ment alone that any question VI3; raised ; and, asthe Ministers repli e d i n t er m s the most friendly and conciliat ing-, we considered that it was but just and consistent with our good understanding with England to send spontaneously an explanation, which was tie more simple as the question arose out of a mere mistake. I will read to the Chamber the instructions I addressed to our Ambassador at London : , t M. la Cornte_The King directs you to testify in ex press terms to the English Government the lively regret which he has felt at the taking the Mexican pilot from on board the Express packet. This incident is the effect of a mistake, and by no means a failure in respect for the Eng lish flag. I can assure you that when Admiral Baudin gave the order, he was not aware the ship belonged to 6,7! English navy. You will give these explanations to Lord Palmerston, expressing, at the same time, your confidence that they will appear to be satisfactory." Here I might conclude ; but I will add a few words on the subject of a letter which has appeared in the public journals, and which is represented to have been written by our Ambassador at London. This letter has not yet been oflicially communi. cated to us. Ido not mean, by saying this, to avoid the question, because I am ready to defend it whenever it may be attacked. M. Mauguin reminded the 'Minister that, at the time of the engagement before Sin Juan d'Ulloa, the corvette La Creole received permision to take what part in the action it pleased. his was not at present, he said, going to criticise tint measure Baron Tupinier (Minister of Marine)—No one in the action received any such permission. Erery one futight fcr France, and according to orders is-ued by the Admiral. M. Mauguin—l do not at present intend to make any reflections on this measure. You are aware that when a vessel goes out of port, she ought to hoist her colours. At the moment the Express left the harbour, she displayed hers. The Creole, instead of having, according to custom, b Tun by firing a blank c.irtridge, as a signal for the packet to heave to, cornin , mced by discharging a b al. The Express stopped in her course, and a boat went car to her, with an officer from the Creole, who insisted upon having the Mexican pilot, notwithstanding the remon strances of the Captain of the packet. This act placed us in every serious position. The Minister cf Marine—This affair has been made of much greater importance than it merited. The com mander of the Creole believed that the Express was a merchantman. As soon as it was known that she belonged to the navy, Admiral Ban din made explanations to the Commander of the 11,ilish squadron, and the matter was so sati,factorny settled,, that the Captain of the Express made , no report of i t to t h e Ad m i ralty. The a ff a i r was only revived by a Tory Member of the House of Lords, who r. fished to seek a cause for censuring the First Lord of the Admiralty. Besides, the Commander of the Creole aid no more than obey the orders of Admiral Baudin, and either to Great Britain or Ireland. If, as the Time's ' affirms, the nation be Conservative, the Ministry ought to hive been gaining popular favour through the very pried, and by the very process, during and by which it hts been losing. There is a slight flsw in our Contempoiarv's logic. Government retires front what he calls " revolt!. tionary ground," and becomes less popular. " That is right, my brave boys," cries he, "continue to retire, till you rest in the embrace of Tory peace and friendship ;' the alienation of your followers proves you are in the true path to universal popularity." The imitation is obvious; and how can Ministers resist this ingeeieus version of the Soren song. ' Ducky, ducky, ducky, ducky, come and be ?" If the " nation" be Conservative," why are the Times and its masters inveterately opposed to letting the nation say so? Why do they obstruct, with all their might, the Extension of the Suffrage, and its frequency, end its freedom? Why not trust the nation? It is sad for a Conservative people to be allowed to give the world no better evidence of its Conservative principles than the unauthenticated assertion of the Times Newspaper. Judg ing sue more the Times ascribes some Cabinet intrigue to Lords Normanby and Durham, which it supposes to have had the t fleet of stimulating a portion of the Press to the more earnest advocacy of representative reforms. truly there must be some strong tenons for any portion of the Press to ensure its own immediate ruin by pleading fir further reform to a nation of Conservatives ; and some yet stronger reason for its ex pressing ai.proval of such very offensive persons as the two Noble Derdrarndescribed to be by the Times. • The efrelt is misteken for the cause by our Contemporary. The Press is more decided, for it is the organ of public opinion, and • puhl.c Opinion demands the renunciation of that finality po licy ;I ith which the Times inqdicusly ecticets. Lord Nor.. inanby 'r accession to the Cabinet was matter of gratulation to million , , on account of the moral courzgo with which ho bearded Toryism in its Orange den. Lord Durham's name is retro ful, because it is associated with an Exteeded Soff•age, &tester Parliament s , a n d the protection of the B itiot. By making these allusions, our Contentperary up sets his own theory. He seems to rcekon on some Key personal feeling in this part of his appeal, as in the pre ceding portion he assumed the absence of public principle. The two grounds which lie has thu s l a id f or his " future peace ant friendship" with the finality politicians, are fife, that they arc knaves, and, secondly, that th ey are fools. W O leave this b cis of a treaty of alliance to those whom it may concern. It is satisfactory to fitvi the diFeussion of a closer union of Reformers, for the purposes of redeeming past failures, and insuring further reforms, already exciting a'arm in the enemy's camp. The apprehensions of filction are the encouragements of honest men. The outstretched hand of Toryism to see, the sinking policy of finality is an edifying spectacle. The warning is obviens to every Liberal, that he should leave it to the Times and the Tories. We are not accustomed to defer to their judge merits ; but we believe in them thus far—that when they arc hurt they cry out :—a lying cry, it may be, to avert the repetition of the blow ; but the indication may be taken wiLhcut the assertion. Of all things in the world, no thing ar.pals them like the union of Reformers for sub stantial reform. We tell them it is coming; and that not all their attempted cajolery of the " timid section" can prevent its realiz•ttion. What course should timidity itself prefer, but that of security ? And amid the collisions of factions and of sinister interests, a nation has no secu rity for any reform at all but in the progress of reform, nor any means of progress but in the cordial cc-operation of ail classes of Reformers.—elforning Chronicle. METROPOLITAN POLITICAL SUMMARY. of the r The Times of this morning speaking o Already n t l l e i; u c i a s t i ! h i g 6 i ß p r i i !s d n s d e n a s t att' pec a t r ( cl f t part m i e a s ;te s t a s y , s backers of ,Nlinis!ers, arc clamouring for the price of last Friday night's support. Pro :.pt payment,, say they ; ' Ballot at mace; no trust. A vote of confidence indeed we have given you; but t o g i ve you cosficienco is One thing ; to f; T.; you credit is another. We Will take none of sour three' month s ' Bill s . O ur execution is 011 your premises, aad we shall proceed to sell you up, unless you give us an immediate instalment. Give us the Ballot, or walk out.' Now, ail this difficulty is occasioned by the obstinacy of the Tory leaders, who don't choose to help their adversaries by making a push for office. They take no step to give the Radicals and Whigs a chance of making a good bargain together for a defensive alli ance. Whatever the Radicals can get from the Whigs, they have to get, as they would get it from a walnut tree—by hard, heavy beating I Now, say we, Ist the Conservatives adhere steadfastly to this policy. The Go vernment which professes to exist no longer upon sufferance, exists upon nothing else. The piles of its foundation are loose in the crumbling earth, and the first high wind will ' shake them out ; but if you strike with your sledge hammer, you will drive them in fast again. Let the suf ferance work a little longer —a little while, and it will effect your end for you in a way in which you never could effect it for yourselves." This is an ingenious attempt to back out of the embarrassing consequences of the late des feat of the Tories. Every one knows that this faction banded together and tried its utmost to oust Mini=sters; and now, because its efforts were unavailing, the Times gravely assures us that it made no struggle at all—in fset, was utterly ildifferent whether it displaced Ministers or not ! The cool impudence of this assertion is scarcely less to be admired than its ingenuity. Both are matchless. The Morning Post, commenting on the Ministerial treasure respecting Jamaica, remarks as follows :—" It may be very necessary for the purpose: of Government in Jainsica, that the Liberals should do that which prove s their own dogmas, about which they have been wont so of- fe.nsively- to thurish, to be as vain and idle as their oppo_ nents have ever contended that they were. SVe ho therefore do not say that the Bill should not pass ; but we the public—if it b© found necessary' to pass the B:ll—will draw from it a useful lesson as to the advantage which practical liberty is likely to derive from the cperstiou liberal policy. We have always held that the tendency of liberalism in politics is directly towa rds Despo!ic , C; o v ss „. mem.
