FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. STANDARD.—The Morning Chrcnicle has a long wiseacre article in behalf of the conspirators convicted at the late State trials in Dublin. The article is a reply to an argument of an opposite character which appeared in a late number of the Times. In our opinion, the time has not yet arrived when with propriety the subject can be treated with proper freedom.. There can be na doubt that if the parties convicted have acknowledged the justice of their conviction, have borne testimony to the constitutional feeling and candour of the prosecutor, such as both merit, have cheerfully admitted what no honest man can deny—the exemplary patience and zeal for justice of the jury, and the learning, temper, and impartiality of the judges—and have shown a fixed resolution to abstain from a repetition of the practices that have brought them into jeopardy— justice may be satisfied by a lenient sentence ; and the effect of all the expensive and irritating proceedings that the conduct of these men have caused will not be thrown away. If unhappily, however, they and their friends have pursued a precisely opposite course—foully calumniating pro secutor, judges, and jury, and declaring a resolution to persist in their crime, they force on their own punishment, not as the forning Chronicle intimates by a fear, on the part of government, of being thought afraid, but by a necessity imposed upon the government to do justice to itself, and to the admi nistration of the law, and to take care that the law shall not be again violated as soon as de clared. Surely in such a cause a Government, even if it should owe nothing to its own character, or to the public peace, must owe it to its prosecu tor, to jurors and judges, not as it were to put the seal upon the foul calumnies heaped upon them for doing their duty, by treating as nothing the acts done in discharge of that duty. However, as we have said, we put the question merely hypothetically, as the time for treating it absolutely has not arrived. GLOBE.—Lord Lyndhurst has introduced a Bill to the House of Lords, to " consolidate the jurisdic tion and improve the practice of the Ecclesiastical Courts of England and Wales, and for otherwise altering and amending the law in certain mat matters ecclesiastical.' The part we took in ex posing the palpable job which was sought to be perpetrated by Dr. Nichol), by means of his Bill of last session—and which, after promising to alter, amend, and regenerate it, was withdrawn by the consent of all parties in the House, as too bad to be improved —seems to lay us under spe cial obligation to examine this new attempt. At the outset we admit that the measure brought forward by Lord Lyndhurst is an improvement on the present law, and is much better calcu lated to give general satis'itction than Dr. Nicholl's clumsily constructed and self-serving Bill of the last session. There is also some indication of good taste in changing the person by whom, and the House in which, the new measure should originate. After the unequivocal expressions of condem nation by which Dr. Nicholl's Bill was con signed to the fate it merited, it would have been dangerous, if not fatal, even to a better measure, had it been intrusted to the same functionary to in troduce it to the House of which he is a member. A recollection of the glaring demerits of the repudiated Bill would have provoked opposition to any measure emanating from the same quarter, which it was well to avoid. The Bill before us proposes that all Courts Peculiar shall merge in the Archidiaconal and Diocesan Courts. These latter Courts, in addition to the Arches Court of Canterbury, and the Chancery Court of York (with the exception of Cornwall, Leicester, Nottingham, and Suffolk), will alone, in future, have the power to grant probates or administrations, and marriage licenses. In this particular the present measure differs from, and, we think, is an improvement upon Dr. Nicholl's Bill, as well as upon the existing system. The Bill of last session proposed to abolish the jurisdiction of the Diocesan as well as of the Peculiar juris dictions ; and Doctors' Commons was constituted the place to which all the business of these Courts was to be carried—to the manifest inconvenience and injury of the public, as well as to the practitioners in those Courts. The pre servation of the Diocesan Courts removes the nu merous and strong objections which prevailed against the former Bill. As our object is the public advan tage—which we desire to see secured to the utmost possible extent by this attempt to legis late on a subject that has so long claimed the attention of the Legislature —we shall en deavour in the spirit of fairness to specify the parts of Lord Lyndhurst's Bill which appear to require re-consideration. By leaving the law of bona notabilia untouched, it perpetuates a system which creates delay and increases expenses. What imaginable objection can be stated against a clause being introduced into the. Bill by which the grant shall be taken out in the diocese, or the Court, within the immediate jurisdiction of which the party shall be domiciled at the time of death ; and that if domiciled in more than one jurisdiction, the executors or administrators shall have liberty to make election within which jurisdiction they will take out grant ? By this change, which would, we think, be an im provement in the Bill as it now stands, the local juridiction3, which are proposed to be retain ed, would be rendered more efficient, and the obvious mischiefs he removed, which frequently arise out of the practice, now sanctioned by the law, of allowing any executor or administrator to institute proceedings for grant at a distance, merely because a portion— possibly a very small portion—of the estate is in the dist int jurisdiction. The design of local jurisdictions is defeat d, if those who are principally interested in the due administration of effects have not ready access to the Court out of which the grant proceeds. Ihe bulk of the personality, and the majority of the parties interested in its distribution, will, in the great majority of instances, be found resident in the juris diction of the domicile.

FEES TO CLERKS IN PETTY SESSIONS. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE moved for certain returns relating to Fees paid to Clerks in Petty Sessions. No grievance, he said, was more heavy upon the poorer classes of the country than the demands made upon them in the shape of fees. The result was, that there was almost an absolute denial of justice to a great num ber of persons who happened to be in a state of poverty. The returns were then ordered. CORN-LAWS. The Earl of HADDINGTON presented two petitions from Haddington and other places, praying for protec lion to the agricultural interest ; in doing so, he said that a meeting had been got up by about twenty persons in favour of the Anti-Corn-law League movement ; and from them a petition had emanated purporting to be from the agriculturalists of the country, and, in conse quence, several meetings were held of those, who were all persons composed of landowners, farmers, and agricul tural servants, from which the petitions he had pre sented emanated. The Marquis of NORMANBY moved for certain returns with respect to the Charitable Donation Funds in Ireland. qte , COURT OF PRIVY COUNCIL. Lord BROUGHAM said he wished to make some observations with respect to the jurisdiction of the Court of Privy Council. Important questions relating to colonial and Indian matters were decided by the Privy Council, and therefore it was aosolutely necessary that every possible assistance should be given to that Court. If it was such an important Court with respect to our distant possessions, how much more important must it be to our British subjects at home ? He felt confident in asserting, and he was sure he would be borne out in that assertion the more that matter was considered, that nothing could be more unfair, or more unsatisfeetory than the present law of divorce, and that they were also bound not only to act upon their own judgment and reflection, but that they also should avail themselves of the experience of other countries to try and devise some mode of amending those laws. This was one of the reasons inducing him to bring forward this measure, and be trusted it would meet with the assent of their Lordships. (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS The SPEAKER took the Chair shortly before Four o'Clock. Mr. BUSFEILD presented a petition from Malton against the Scarborough Railway Bill. Colonel WYNDHAM presented a petition from Bed font against the Shoreham and Chichester Railway Bill. Sir CHARLES BURRELL pfesented similar peti tions from different parts of Sussex. ATHLONE ELECTION. Mr. Chalmers, the Clerk of the Election Committees, brought up the evidence taken before the Athlone Elec tion Committee. Mr. C. ROUND brought in the Northern and Eastern Railway Bill, which was read a first, and ordered lo be read a second time on Monday. Sir JOHN YARDE BULLEL presented a petition from persons residing on the Beach of Dawlish, stating that their property would be injured by the South Devon Railway Bill, and praying that it might not pass into a law. Mr. KEMBLE presented a petition from the Rev. Wm. Paine, against the Guildford Junction Railway Bill. Sir HOWARD DOUGLAS presented a petition from the Mayor and Town Council of Liverpool, against the Birkenhead Improvement Bill. Sir WILLIAM HEATHCOTE presented a petition from Winchester in favour of the railway from Basing stoke to Newbury. On the motion of Sir W. HEATHCOTE, the Newbury and Basingstoke Railway Bill was read a second time. SHEFFIELD, ASII'I'ON-UNDER-LYNE, AND After a few words from Mr. H. HINDE, Mr. HINDLEY withdrew his motion, observing that if any measure affecting the interests of his constituents were referred to a Select Committee, he should apply to ,that Committee, as a matter of courtesy, to receive his suggestions. The Newbury and Great Western Railway Bill was read 4- second time, and ordered to be committed. Mr. R. PALMER presented a petition - from the landowners on the line, against the Newbury and Great Western Railway Bill. The Slamannan Junction Railway Bill was read a second time, and ordered-td be committed. Mr. MAdAULAY presented a petition in favour of the North British Railway Bill, which was read a second time, and ordered to be committed. NOTICES OF MOTION.—ATHLONE ELECTION. Mr. W. O. STANLEY gave notice that when the Committee on the Athlone election presented their Report, he should move for a Select Committee to in quire into the whole circumstances attending the election for that borough. MANCHESTER RAILWAY. Mr. WILSON PATTEN moved the second reading of this Bill. Mr. ESTCOURT would just mention that there were two Bills before the House, and that an application had been made to the Committee of Selection to appoint the Committee on one of those Bills. Upon that appli cation being made he immediately sent to the agent for the other Bill, to know if he was ready. His reply was, that he should not be ready for some time—the consequence was, that a great hardship was inflicted upon the parties who were ready at once to go before the Committee. Mr. GLADSTONE said, that if parties, for the pur pose of creating delay, should be found to take advan tage of the rule of that House, which provided that Bills for competing railway lines should be referred to the same Committee, he thought some measure ought to be adopted to prevent such a course being taken. After a short discussion the Bill was read a second time. NEWPORT DOCKS BILL. Mr. BLEWITT brought in the Newport Docks Bill, which was read a first time. COMMITTEES ON RAILWAY BILLS, Mr. HINDLEY rose to move the following resolu• tion - -That any Member, whose constituents are locally interested in any competing Lines of Railway, may be permitted to sit upon the Committee appointed to decide upon their respective merits, though without being allowed to vote upon any quastion arising thereon. The House, by the resolution to which they had come the other evening, on the subject of the constitution of committees on railway Bills, had, in fact, given up the representation of their constituents altogether. Be ad mitted that it was perfectly right that the Members who had a personal interest in private Bills should be ex cluded from the Committees ; but with regard to the representatives of local interests, their case rested upon a very different footing. To whom would the country look for the defence of their local interests, ex cept to their respective representatives ? The House had stultified itself by the resolutions it had come to on that subject. •Did they mean to say that a Member who represented local interests, had not sufficient know ledge or public spirit to give an honest vote. The real secret was that certain Hon. Members had not the moral courage, while they saw two parties among their con stituents, to offend either of the parties, and therefore they were exceedingly glad to shirk their duty. The presence of the local Member on a Committee u ould tend to check some of the back stairs influence that now prevailed, and that Member would act under the control of public opinion. He thought they had departed from the open English principle in the resolution they had adopted. If the constituents did not approve of his conduct they had the remedy in their own hands. He thought it would be right that the local interest of par ticular places should be consulted in such matters, and that Committees should not be deprived of the advan tages of hearing the arguments of those well acquainted with the details of the matter. Mr. P. BORTHW ICK having seconded the motion,: Mr. GLADSTONE said he thought the resolution now introduced by the Hon Gentleman was superfluous. He thought the grounds taken in support of his position by the Hon. Gentleman opposite were quite useless, and he would even say almost invidious; for in Committees, upon any other subject, no such powers were ever called for. If such a power was allowed to exist in the present instance, a great deal of inconvenience would arise, because a great many of those gentlemen who now proposed to have the right of attending those Committt es would be actuated by different and discordant interests. Ile trusted that the House would feel no hesitation in negativing the motion. Mr. W. PATTEN was extremely glad to hear what had fallen from his Right Hon. Friend. There had been a great difference in Committees as:to:whether Members were to be allowed to attend and represent the inte rests of their constituents. He thought that if it had been known at the time when the measure was introduced that Members would have the power of stating the case of their constituents who were not able to appear by counsel, many who ,supported the measure would have voted against it on that express ground. Mr. LABOUCHERE agreed in substance with what had fallen from the Right Hon. Gentleman. He was not aware, however, that any Member of Parliament had a right to address the Committee on behalf of his con stituents. His impression had hitherto been that the right extended only to attending the Committee, and there was the greatest risk of inconvenience through protracting the proceedings of the Committee unneces sarily if any other principle were adopted. Perhaps the Speaker would be good enough to state to the House what was the practice of Parliament in reference to this matter. Mr. GLADSTONE said he had not meant to state that any Member had an absolute right to address the Committee ; all he had meant to say was that practically no objection was felt to the maki ng o f a statement. The SPEAKER wished to observe in reply to the question of the Right lion.. Gentlema n , th a t no M ember who was not a Member of the Committee had any right to interfere with the proceedings. He had no right to examine witnesses though he might be present in the room. Dr. BOWRING said that regulation which prevented Members from interfering with the proceedings of Select Committees on Railroads, upon which they were not appointed, had given great satisfaction, and he thought it was desirable to extend the rule to all other Select Committees as well AS Egilway Committees, SLAVE TRADE. Sir J. lIANMER gave notice that, when the Noble Lord the Member for Tiverton brought forward his motion, he should move, as an amendment, that the House should resolve itself into a Committee of the whole House, for taking into consideration the treaties relating to the slave trade. _ _ TOBACCO DUTIES. Dr. BOWRING, on the part of the Hon. Member for Montrose, postponed the motion of which that . Hon. Member had given notice on the subject of the tobacco duties until Monday next. LAW OF DIVORCE. Mr, ELPHINSTONE moved for a return of the number of matrimonial suits instituted in each metropo litan Diocesan Court in England, Wales, and Ireland, in 1840, 1841, 1842, and 1843; also a similar return from Cowls having consistorial jurisdiction in Scotland in 1840, 1841, 1842, and 1843; also, number of matrimonial suits in Judicial Committee of Privy Council or House of Lords, on appeal, in 1840, 1841, 1842, and 1843 ; also, return of number of Divorce Acts passed by the Legislature in 1840, 1841, 1842, and 1843 ; also the average expense of such suits, in 1840, 1841, 1842, and 1843, as far as the same can be stated by the officers of the above-mentioned Courts.—Agreed to. COPPER, TIN, AND LEAD TRADE. Sir C. LEMON moved for returns of the import and export of copper, lead, and tin, and of copper ore into the United Kingdom, during the year ending Jan. 5, 1844, distinguishing the copper and copper ore ex ported from the ports of Liverpool, and the per centage of copper contained in the copper ore exported. Dr. BOWRING begged to ask the Right Hon. Gen tleman the Secretary of State for the Home Department, when the report of the Commission to inquire into Welsh grievances would be communicated to the House. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said he had received the Report to which the Hon. Gentleman reterred, only yesterday; he expected to receive the evidence on Mon day. In the early part of next week he would lay both the report and the evidence on the table of the House. STIPENDIARY MAGISTRATES—IRELAND. Lord EBRINGTON begged to ask the Noble Lord the Secretary for Ireland, when the returns which had been moved for on a former evening, respecting the Sti pendiary Magistrates in Ireland, would be laid before the. House ? Lord ELIOT said he believed the returns would be prepared by Monday next. • SINDE. Mr. MACAULAY had a question to put to the Right Hon. Baronet the First Lord of the Treasury, and in doing so he wished to correct a misunderstanding which had gone abroad respecting what he had said the other night, as to the late proceedings at Gwalior. He was represented to say that those proceedings were in accordance .with and in pursuance of a treaty which was entered into in .1805. On the contrary, what he did say was, that the proceedings were founded upon a treaty which was notoriously annulled in 1805. Was the Right Hon. Baronet (Sir R. Peel) now prepared to answer the question he put to him yesterday ? Sir ROBERT PEEL said the India mail had arrived, and in the course of the day the Govern ment had received their dispatches. He had every reason to suppose that the proclamation alluded to had been sent officially with them. In the Government dispatch, however, there were no less than 97 enclo sures, and of course he had not yet had time at present to go carefully through them. He assumed the procla mation was there ; no doubt it was. The Right Hon. Gentleman (Mr. Macaulay) had declared on his own authority that the treaty of 1804 was notoriously annulled in 1805. There had been hardly time since last evening to search into the matter, but so far as he (Sir R. Peel) remembered, there were three treaties between the Maharajah of Sinde and the Government of India. There was the treaty of 1803, the treaty of 1804, and the treaty of 1805. The first, that of 1803, was a general treaty for peace ; that of 1804, was a treaty of alliance offen sive and defensive, and stipulated that Sindia, in ease of necessity, should be entitled to call on the Anglo-Indian Government for assistance ; and the treaty of 1805 was made to correct socr•e defects in the treaty of 1803, and had no reference to that of 1804. The question, therefore, arose whether the treaty of 1804 was overruled by that of 1805. Mr. MACAULAY had no wish under the circum stances to prolong the discussion. The Right lion. Gentleman would lay the proclamation before them, and of course was not in a position at that moment to give a distinct opinion on the question just put to him. FACTORIES BILL. Sir J. GRAHAM postponed the second reading of this Bill until Friday next, when he would positively proceed with it. SUGAR DUTIES. Mr. M. GIBSON wished ß t . o re p e ta l) in q r u t e fe st r i e o n n ee to to th a e last night in the debate on the s ß ta ig te h m t e H nt on niad ß e ar b o y ne h t im (Sir sugar duties. He (Mr. Gibson) had understood him to state that the consumption of sugar in this country for the year ending January, 1844, was greater than had ever taken place in any former year.—(Cries of "No, no." He understood the Right Hon. Gentleman to state that the consumption of sugar in the year ending in January, 1844, was greater than any that had taken place in any former year, except one. Now, he (Mr. M. Gibson) had taken some trouble to look into the Parliamentary papers, and make calculations upon proper authority with refer ence to the amount taken into consumption during past sugar l in t h e c y o e n a s r u s mtt l eoe B dd 3 s o ttioai t kleBtnih3ot s l ew wa B o 3 huf s aen , ettht a rtey n r d t mht a l ha B tes 3 t 7 Rg rh , ie t ge h ahc e ttoe q nr H u st a uho n mna t n. p i t tyßit. ion quantity consumed in the year ending J a nuary, 1844. : f years, and he found , from the calculations he had made, that preceding year, with the Sir R. PEEL said that the statements he had made was e rN x oon c w e e g p th t r m i e e o e a n wa te n o a r tn f i o n n l e Br than any were from documents that he hadin his possession, and if he was incorrect it was competent for the Hon. Gentle man to correct him by moving for the documents. What he had stated was, that the consumption in the last year was greater than the consumption of any year, with but one exception, and that was the year 1842. In that year the consumption was 4,550,000 cwts., while last year it was 4,450,000 cwts. If he had made any mistake in the matter he was sorry for it, but it was perfectly competent for the Hon. Member to correct it by adopting the course that he had suggested. Mr. BELLEW put a question to the Secretary for Ire land (Lord Eliot) with respect to the manner in which, on a jury in arecent criminal case, every Catholic had been struck off, which the Noble Lord declined answering until he had received further information on the subject, BRAZIL. Mr. EWART wished to put a question to the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of the Government, with respect to Baazil. The Government of Brazil proposed to impose by their new tariff a duty of 60 per cent. on the value of the manufactures of this. coun try. Now he wished to ask the Right Hon. Baronet, whether the duty which the Government imposed upon Brazilian sugar was not 150 per cent. on the value. He only asked the Right Hon. Baronet to give them what was the reciprocal duty on the value of the manu factures imported into Brazil, and the duty on the value of Brazilian produce imported into this country. Sir R. PEEL said, with respect to the calculation whether a certain amount of duty would be 150 per cent. on the value of the article, he thought the Hon. Member was quite competent to make that calculation him self.—(A laugh.) The proposition made by the Bra zilian Government was that its sugar should be admitted into this country at the same rate of duty as colonial sugar. There was subsequently a relaxa tion of that condition ; and the Brazilian Government offered, that whatever might be the amount of duty on colonial sugar, the duty on Brazilian sugar should not exceed that by more than one-tenth—that was to say, if 10s. was the duty on colonial produce, the duty on Brazilian produce should not exceed 1 ls. With respect to manufactured produce, the proposal of the Brazilian Government was that the duty on cotton wool should be 40 per cent. ad valorem; that the duty on woollen goods should be 30 per cent. ad valorem, on other articles there was to be no restriction. Mr. WARBURTON said the question was simply an arithmetical one ; it was whether 275. 6d.—that was 255., plus 2s. 6d—was not a duty at the rate of 158 per cent. His Hon. Friend w ished to draw a contrast be teen the rate [of duty the Brazilians wished to put on our produce, and the rate of duty they were pre pared to submit to from us, that was 40 or 60 per cent, on their side, on our goods, against 158 per cent. on our side, on their sugar. The conversatian then dropped. POOR-LAW. Mr. TURNER asked the Hon. Secretary of State for i t n h t e o H th o e m i e ,o D or e - p l a a r w tm ß e i n ll t a wh el e a t u h s e lie clause to toap in p t o e i n n d t s ch in a t p r l odeing chaplains sto the Poor-law unions, to be paid out of the rates, to the exclusion of the clergy of the Protestant Dissenters ?

Al r o p alteration ose anof alterationthe in the law relati ng t o re li g i ous instruction in union work houses. intend ln a t n o y p EMPLOYMENT OF THE NAVY IN THE COL LECTION OF POOR RATES, IRELAND. Captain PECHELL rose to explain a statement which he had made on Friday last on the subject of the employment of the navy to enforce the payment of poor -rates in Ireland. The Right Honourable Baronet opposite, one of the Lords of the Admiralty had. practic ; an d h e ( C apta i n Pechell) had quoted from stated that h e was not aware o f the existence of such a a Irish Co un ty Paper a statement that the E ar l o f Lucan h a d, at a meeting o f th e Castlebar Union declared hi s d eterm i nation rat h e r to encourage resist ance to the poor -rate collectors, than to submit to the imposition of a new rate, while so large a portion of the first rate renAined uncollected. In - reply to the Earl of Lucan, Captain Blake was reported to have said that naval forces were coming round to the coast, and the Earl of Lucan was reported to have replied, that he had no doubt but that the Government would send forces to enforce the collec tion of the rates. He had since received a communication from the Earl of Lucan, denying that he had ever made such a statement, and he thuught it his duty to state that fact to the House. At the same time he begged to state that he had only quoted the statement as be had found it in a newspaper published in the Noble Earrslowu county. REDUCTION OF THE THREE-AND-A-HALF PER CENTS. On the Order of the Day for the House resolving itself into Committee on the reduction of the Three and-a-Half per Cents. being read, Mr. S. CRAWFORD rose amidst loud cries of " Oh, oh," and said he had several petitions to present on the subject of supply. The SPEAKER begged to inform the Hon. Member that he could not present the petitions.—(Cheers.) The motion was, that the House should resolve itself into Committee on the Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Annuities, and not that it should resolve itself into a Committee of Supply.—(Cheers.) The House then resolved itself into Committee. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the subject which it was his duty to submit to the House, was one which would be acknowledged by every one to be of considerable importance. It involved the dealing with a large amount of the public debt ; it was calculated to produce a great annual saving in the charge which the public incurred on account of that debt ; and if the House should be pleased to agree to the measure which he should pro pose, it would tend, in his opinion, to raise the character and the power of this country by evincing the extent of our great resources, and our determination to discharge with honour the national debt.—(Cheers.) If he were the first time calling upon the House to deal with a subject of this nature, he might think it necessary to enlarge upon the motives which justified him in making suck a proposition. But lie was not the first Finance Minister of this country who had had the pleasing task of recommending similar arrangements to the House ; and the principle- upon which those arrangements proceeded was one so universally acknowledged by statesmen of the greatest financial ability, by men of every shade of opinion ; it had been so fre quently recommended by Committees of the House of Commons, and so frequently acknowledged and con firmed by Parliament, that he felt himself relieved from the. necessity which on such a subject might otherwise be imposed upon him, of showing to the House the cor rectness of the principle upon which his proposal was founded. His task was of a different nature. The pro priety of affording relief to the public being acknowledged, the duty that devolved upon him was one to satisfy the llouse that the time was arrived, and that circumstances was favourable for accomplishing a reduction of the debt hich would produce a great annual-saving. It was in the discharge of that duty that he presented himself to the House ; and he begged their attention, for a short period, while he stated to them the grounds upon which he conceived himself called upon to propose, and upon which he trusted the House would adopt the measures which he had now to submit. The alteration which he was about to recommend to the House was one dealing with a large amount of debt— an amount of debt absolutely, larger than that.with which any House of Parliament was ever before called upon to deal. It was no less—or only a few hundred pounds less—than 250 millions of the na tional debt. If it were considered relatively, in the pro portion which it bore to the whole amount of the debt, he could not say that in that respect it was unprecedented ; because when they looked back to the first occasion in which a reduction of the annual interest was proposed to the House by Mr. Pelham in 1749, they would Lind that that Minister had to deal with a sum inferior in amount to that which he had mentioned, but still a sum which compared with the existing debt of the country at the time exceeded by one. third the propor ti on which the present amount bore to the whole deN3t of the country. But then that really able man relied upon the character and credit of the country, and the willingness of all men to contribute to its welfare, and he carried the reduction into effect with success and with universal applause. Ho (the Chancellor of the Exchequr) had alluded to the magnitude of the amount ; for lie thought that on an occasion like this the House ought to have the whole of the facts before them. It was his duty to state to them that, while in the eye of every considerate man was a main element in the ope ration. He would say that the time had arrived when the operation would be effected, and when he thought it ought to be effected. It had been long the opinion of the public that the Government ought to undertake this reduction ; it had long been declared by the organs of public opinion that the time was not distant when the interest of the debt should be reduced ; and this opinion was confirmed by his oe n attentive consideration of the money market of the country. He believed that there never was a time when the amount of capital seeking employment was greater than at present. That resulted from various causes. There was a large amount of capital accumulated by the industry of individuals, which was greater in this country in recent years than ever had been known in any other country in the world. Another cause was the want of security in foreign investments, from which not even the interest could be obtained, and the firmness of the security in the funds of this country which induced not only her own children to invest their capital, but drew also the capital of other countries. The evidence of the abundance of money was to be found in the price which securities bore at present ; and it was notorious that the holders of Consols at present derived little more than 3/. ls. per cent., and upon Exchequer Bills little more than 2/. 4s. per cent. It was true that private securitios gave a greater interest ; and as it was natural for the security of the nation, was necessarily greater than that of a private individual. But notwithstanding the favourable state of the money market, there might be circumstances arise to cause this facility of acquiring loans to be one that might turn out only.of a temporary character. But when he looked around him, and saw the good understanding which existed beeween this country and all foreign nations, when he saw the continued influx, day by day, of the capital of other countries into this—when he saw the revival of trade, industry, and commerce, in all parts of the world—when he thus saw all countries pacified, and reflected on the un tiring energy of his own—he would not anticipate anything which should forbid the attempt which he called upon the House to :assist him in enabling him to reduce the burthens of the country. There was another essential element in the consideration of this matter, and that was, the time at which the change was proposed to be made, a time when the revenue promised them so . much-assistance. He felt, what he was sure every Member in that House felt, that that State which had not the means of defraying its current expenditure by its current means within the year, was not in a state to deal advantageously with its burthens and obligations. Its measures would be greatly crippled, and a Government so situ ated must be compelled to forego advantages which, under another and a better state of things, it would be right and expedient to avail themselves of. He was happy to say (happy was he to pay so just a tribute to the House of Commons he was now addressing)—he was happy to say that by their exertions in the year 1842—by their energy, foresight, and determination—they had been able to place the revenue of the country on a footing to meet the exigencies of the service. They had now got a revenue more than equal to their expenditure, and they were thereby enabled to reap the advantages which a firm adherence to a principle ofthat nature was ever sure to give—and thus realize to the country the benefit not merely of a temporary reduction of a few taxes, but 2f the permanent obligations of the state. He had said that the income of the present year was more than suffi ciency to meet the charges of that year. So far as the two last quarters were concerned the excellent state of the re venue was shown by documents already on the table of the House. The House would find by the papers that had been laid before it, that, at the commencement of the last year the balance in the hands of the Government was 1,400,0001., while, at the termination of it, it was upwards of 4,700,0001.—(Hear, hear.) lam happy (continued the Right Honourable Gentleman) to inform the House also that, speaking at the present moment, I can state to them that there are no deficiency bills of the Bank unsatisfied. We are free at this quarter from repaying those advances made by the Bank for the purpose of meeting the demands for the public service. can also state that, since the sth April last, it has not been necessary to apply to the Bank for advances in an ticipation of the votes of the House of Commons. So far as these things are concerned,however useful they may be in themselves, yet they are calculated to cripple the Government. I can assure the House that from those encumbrances we are at the present moment free. I will also point the attention of the House to this fact, that the amount of the unfunded debt at this moment is less than it has been for many antecedent years ; that the amount of Exchequer-bills is only between eighteen and nine teen millions—that they bear an interest tsf 2/ 4s. percent. and that, at the p resen t momen t, th e y have a premium of 735. Looking, therefore, at the growing wealth of this country, looking at its capital, considering its vast re sources, looking at the continuance that exists of its friend ly relations with foreign Powers, considering that the re- i venue had recovered from the temporary difficulty under which it laboured—considering 1,/tat we are free from unfunded and floating debt, S think that I have made out a case to this ;louse, to shew that the time has arrived when those ivho have the management of the financial affairs o. the eterntr; should make an attempt to reduce the interest on the National Debt. The debt we have to-deal with on this occasion amounts to nearly 250,000 4 00/., - and consists of four several kinds of stock. TheArst is the Three-end-a •Ilalf per Cent. Stock, origimatily created in 181 b, which is the foundation of stock "this description, and amounts to 10,000,000/ The nit is the reduced Three-and-a-Half . per Cents , being a stock which was first establi s h e d in t h e yea r 17 originally as a hour p,r Cent. Stock, added to at various periods, and Reduced to Three-and-a-Half per Cent. in 1824, when Lord Ripen was Chancellor of the Exchequer. It amounted to 67,500,0001. he next is the Three-and-a-llalf per Cents., originally founded in 1784, at 5 per Cent., ann which has, in the gradual progress of the country, the growth of capital, and con fidence in our own resources, had undergone two several reductions—one in 1822, when Mr. Van sittart was Chancellor of the Exchequer, from five per cent to four ; and the other in 1830, when I had the houour of holding the office I now fill, and when it was further reduced to Three-and-a-Half per Cent., at which it has ever since remained. The last stock is the one called the Old Three- and-a-Half per Cents., which was an Irish Stock created in 1787, and had been from time to time augmented to the sum of 14,600,000 L ; the whole amount of these stocks was 249,600,0001., or, in round numbers, nearly the amount lat first stated. Now it might, certainly, have been legally correct td have dealt separately with these sepa rate branches of the Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Stocks; but I conceived that this course, though legally correct, would be essentially unjust. I thought it would not be be coming in a great oountry like this to take advantage of one or two particular branches of stock being of small amount, and to call on the proprietors who have invested their money in these funds to submit to a re duction, which, from their being small in num ber, they could not resist. I have, therefore, recommended that the same rule should be applied to all these stocks, and that the reduction of interest shall be made at once upon the whole of them. After a few more observations, the resolutions were read and agreed to. REDUCTION OF THE THREE AND-A-HALF PER CENTS. The plan of the Chancellor of the Exchequer is— To reduce the Three-and-a-Half per Cents. to 31 until the 10th of October, 1854, and to 3 per cent. to the 10th of October, 1874 (without any addition to the Debt), being a period of twenty years, during which the interest would not be reduced below 3 per Cent. During his speech he stated that three plans were open to him, but that they would all add to the existing debt. If the Three-and-a-Halfs were reduced to Three per Cents., it would add 10 millions, and if reduced to Two-and-a• Half per Cents., it would add upwards of 50 millions to the debt. He, therefore, preferred a more gradual and a more equitable plan, which would not relieve the present generation too much at the ex pense of their successors. 'TIE LONDON GAZETTE (THIS EVENING.)

We have received an immense number of inquiries during the week touching the anticipated reduction in the tea duties. The subject certainly seems to have been made the most of by interested parties since it was first mooted in our market. The various inquiries seem to resolve themselves into the following :- Ist—When is the anticipated reduction to take place. 2d—What will be the future duty. 3d—Will Government give previous notice. 4th—Will it materially affect the first cost of tea. In the absence of everything like official information, we can only give the opinions which are entertained by the ma jority of merchants and dealers, viz., that if a reduction in the Tea duties take place, it will probably be during the next session of Parliament, and that the future duty will be Is. 3d. or Is. 6d. per lb. To the 3d query we reply, that the ordinary practice of Government is not to give any previous notice of a reduction in duty. Such reduction usually comes into operation the morning after its official announcement. 4th—We do not think that the alteration will either mate rially or permanently advance the first cost of tea, looking at the anticipated arrivals from China. The expectation of a reduction in the tea duties arises from three causes :—first, from a prevalent feeling that we ought to reciprocate the liberality of the Chinese tariff, and thus improve our trade With that empire—secondly, be cause the increased consumption of tea, resulting from its reduced price, and the additional consumption of sugar arising from the augmented use of tea, would eventually increase the revenue beyond its present amount—and thirdly, because our surplus revenue at present would allow such reduction without any inconvenience resulting from a slight temporary deficiency. Beyond these three general reasons for expecting a reduc tion of duty, there seems to be no foundation for the preva lent rumour. Certain it is that the deputation which waited upon Sir Robert Peel received no encouragement to hope so, beyond a courteous reception and an assurance that the sub ject should have his consideration.—G. G. Cummings, in " Brokers' Circular." THE INFANT ORPHAN AsyLum.—On Thursday the friends and supporters of this establishment celebrated the anniversary of its creation by dining together at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, and partaking of the hospitality provided on the occasion by the proprietors of that well known gathering place of the benevolent and the festive. It bad been announced that Lord Morpeth would take the chair, but his Lordship not being able to attend, his place was supplied by Lord Robert Grosvenor, who was supported by Sir George Carroll, Mr. B. Bond Cabbell, and many other gentlemen of rank and fortune. The company consisted of upwards of 160 persons, and the gross amount of the contri butions was about 1,500/, including 10/. from her Ma jesty, 25/. from the Noble Chairman, 25/. from Mr. B. B. Cabbell, and 251. from the Pacha of Egypt, through Mr. Waghorn. Upon the removal of the cloth "Non nobis," was sung by Messrs. G. F. Taylor, G. Rennie, R. F. Smith, and G. George ; after which the healths of the Queen, of Prince Albert, of the Prince of Wales, the Queen Dowager, and the other members of the Royal family were drunk with the accustomed honours. " The health of the Duke of Wellington and the Army" was also drunk with every demonstration of respect and enthusiasm ; after which the children nurtured and educated at the new building at tir /instead were brought into the room, and after having sung an appropriate hymn, marshalled in procession between the tables. This was the most interesting part of the festival, and certainly, if the merit of an establishment is to be estimated by the appearance of those who are the objects of its intentions, nothing could exceed the claims of this asylum to public patronage. The children were' fine specimens of what good treatment, good air, and kindness in their guardians and preceptors, could pro duce. As soon as they had retired, the noble Chairman made a short but forcible appeal in support of the institu tion by which they were protected to the company, and the appeal, as the amount of the contributions showed, was not in vain. Several other toasts, viz., the health of the chair man, for which Lord R. Grosvenor returned thanks, of the vice-presidsnts, for which Sir G. Carroll returned thanks, and of the clergy, were then drunk ; after which the noble chair man retired, to be present, as he said, at a division in the House of Commons, and Mr. B. B. Cabbell took the chair. The company remained fur some time after the retirement of his Lordship, and having drunk several toasts more inant6. diately connected with the charitable purposes of tlre'asylum, and heard some good glees from the professionals present, separated a little before 11 o'clock. THE COTTON MARKET.--During the last week not less than three New. YorTi packets have arrived, bringing advices from that city to the 16th ult. The state of the cot ton market, in-the various part of the Union, has been watched with 0 , 4 - ix-eyed curiosity by the commercial world here. On 'this side the " short croppists" have recently showed symptoms of drawing in their horns, which may be attri buted to two causes—first, the recent accounts show that the estimate of 1,860,000 bales for the present year's crop will be tolerably near the mark, which, with the stock now on hand in Liverpool 'and elsewhere, exceeds by nearly 200,000 bales the stock of the corresponding eriod last year.— Willmer and Smith's.
