A se Way this of splittine the difference between the manufac r wers an d t h e l an dlor ds—a t kind of bidding for whosoever shalt turn out to be the strongest. The Duke of Welling -1 du ti's attack on the omissions of the Speech was spirited and tudicious. His Grace, after a feeble in terval, tottet c a over by Lord Melbourne was followed by Lord B roug ham in one of his most hitting speeches, who ein he put the Indian policy of his own cousin in no very fascinating light, as an attempt to dethrone the King of Caleal because the King of Persia had done something to dis nblies him. Lord Brougham further pounced upon the corrupt and tisgracetul omission of O'Connell and his incendiary and in sureent measures in the very same public document, which held tip the far lees malignant mobs of the north of England to the venees.nce or the Legislature.- We can forsee that Ireland, Canada, and India will be sore subjects for her Majesty's Minis ters ere long. Previous to the discussion, Lord Durham ex- Prened an &aloes; wish that the Canada question might be broleht (messes 27 soon as possible.— Times. Tee Parliaments, y campaign has commenced. The speeches on "ceing and seconding the address in the House of Lords de part in some sesecets Irene the established practice, which is tlre they should it •ep as closely as possible to the text of the see , ' On thi. occasion Lord Lovelace adverted in a very mare ed mantle: ti the effect of the Corn-laws.

Lord Wire:Linea endeavoured, by connecting the Ministry with the sentiments uttered by the noble mover and seconder, to -taunt. them into a declaration of the course they intended to pursue with regard to the Corn-laws, and proceeded to attack Lord John Russell for the letter to one of his consti tuents, which we puleished some time ago. Lord Melbourne having been thus 4:hallengetl, said that "the Corn-laws had been, ever since the formation of the present Government, an entirely open question--a question on which all the various members a the Government had formed their own distinct Opinions, and had ever acted according to those opinions. Unquestionably, ray Lords, 1 believe that the majority of these gentlemen are yavourable to a change in the present system"' Lord Melbourne then proceeded to say— " I am not willing to go into any debate on the Corn-laws on the present, occasioc. 1 wish to avoid it, but I have no reluc tance to state my individual opinion on the Corn-laws ; and this, my Lords, is the; which I stated in the few observations which I made last year ; observations which attracted considerable no tice, more oi comee worn the eminent station which the indivi dual who delivered them happened to possess, than from any in trinsic force cl their own. The opinion, my Lords, which I then expreesed, and to which I now distinctly adhere, is that though I am nail rrepared to pledge or bind myself to the maintenaw c the present system as the best possible, lam not at the trete time prepared, either as a member of the Go vernmenf, s rats a Member of Parliament, to pledge myself,from any inii ) r ) ^lion which I have, to a change or alteration of the law as it s , ,in,k.--(11 - car, hear.)" It hapeses, fortunately, that there pre now in London, at tie§ time, es sera] men anxious above all things to have an oppor tunity to enlighten his Lordship on this momentous subject, by • the.produeti, it of unquestionable evidence. We regret that it should ben nessary to have yet to enter on the task of converting the Prim: minister to sound opinions on the subject of the Corn-laws; as he professes to be open to conviction, we trust that he is riot in the state which the Catholics describe as luvincible In the Iletee 01 Commons, Mr. G. Wood, the seconder of the Address, t;hairman of the Chamber of Commerce of Man chester, entesed into various details, with a view to show the state of the :eels) and shipping of the country, and, adverting to the exertises 1107/ prevailing with regard to the Corn-laws, observed-s. " That the :neouragement foreign countries had given to those of then. imbitants who were engaged in manufactures, was now nen- „i t ig to produce its effect by a successful competi ti"walabia' ,;. , )•,ntry, not only in the nations of the old world, but in th e rceseser markets, where our exports were seriously interfered wit o . A due alarm was entertained by our manufac turers, that Gut' •,Tosperity as a manufacturing country would thus be seriously'endangered. If such apprehensions were well founded, the tire lufacturers felt that there were no means of amending thine elondition but by an attempt which, even if it were practienies, at all, all must deplore, to depress the wages of labour. What; sr that became necessary or not it was the duty of the Legislatere, in his opinion, to place the manufactures of this country on a footing as nearly equal as it was possible to that on wheel the manufactures of other countries stood." Sir Robert ?eel craftily availed himself of some of the state ments, of Mr. 13eorge Wood, and thanked the Hon. Gentleman for the views which he had taken upon that important topic, and which h e believed would carry the greater weight, from the high authority which, the Hon. Member was known to be upon such a subject, from his knowledge of the facts connected with the matter, and he was exceedingly obliged to him for the clear manner in which lie had expressed himself, and certainly for the very able speech which he had delivered in favour of the exist ing system." Sir Robert's speech was that of a partisan, not that of a statesman viewing the subject coolly and dispassionately, with reference to the interest s o f th e coun t ry and justice to all classes. We are sorry to find that Lord John Russell endeavoured to hymn cold water on the demand of the merchants and manu facturer, to be heard at the bar of the House in support of their c h laim. "H e was not prepared, at the present mo tnente he s a id, " to enter into a discussion o f the sub lence te; but he thought that the respectability and import of the interest calling for the repeal of the Cor n -laws, entitled them, not p erha p s to be heard at the bar of the House, but to th e most patient investigation on the part of the House, of any facts w hi ch they might bring forward." Why should the inquiry demanded by the delegates of the great towns be refused? Assertions are met by counter asser tions, and even Right Honourable Statesmen endeavour to ex tort from statements a meaning which they cannot fairly war rant. In such a state of things the question can only be satis factorily determined by evidence. Why do the landowners wish to stifle inquiry? They either believe the facts to be in favour of their own views or against them. If the former, why do eneY !dine the manuracturers and merchants the satisfaction of learning the cogent arguments to be derived from the evidence in favour of a centinuantes of the present system : If they b e li ev e in quiry wpuld show tha'...iw laws ought to be repealed,do they imagine that the Country sviil eliew itself to be mocked by such a mean at tempt to escape trom tin , course which impartiality prescribes?- They know nothing o: aee spirit which now actuates the mer chants and manufactuse. s, and indeed all the respectable classes in this country (with, 'he exception of the agriculturists), if *they think that these classes wilt suffer so great and momentous a question to be put tr; est after Mich a fashion.

IRELAND. LAW A PPOISTMENTS, Mr. Sergeant Curry, the Member for Armagh, has, with becoming spirit, and with a feeling of what is due to his own station and to the character of his profession, protested against 311. Richard Moore, ex-Tory, being placed over his head. The story new is, that Mr. Pigott will try Clonrnel on the O'Con nell interest, and that Mr. Moore will turn his attention towards Carlow, the thing having been settled between Messrs. French, O'Connell, and Healy. It would be rather an awkward move in Mr. Moore to attempt Clonmel—for, if we be correctly informed, there is extant from that gentleman an address, or the heads of art address, to the electors of that borough, soliciting their suff'rages upon Conservative principles. Mr. Moore has hereditary claims to the representation of the town ; but of this hereafter. Judge Moore does not retire until after the Circuits ; and Mr. Ball, the Attorney-General, is certainly to be the Judge.—Dublin Even. ing The Pilot refusn to pin its faith to its adversary's statements, which are believed to be premature, if not untrue. "Judge Moore, we believe, hasnot resigned, and if he should, we suspect Mr. Moore would not be Solicitor-General. Mr. Pigot, who could not fail of obtaining a seat in Parliament through any independent Irish con stituency—whose legal acquirements are of the first class, and whose principles are unquestioned—would, in our opinion, be looked to by the government and the country." FICTITIOUS FREEMEN.—We congratulate our readers upon the security we now have that for the future the intentims of the Re form Bill cannot be defeated amongst us by the unrestrained poser assumed by the Corporation to create Freemen. The Twelve Judges have declared that the certificate of the Town Clerks is not conclusive of the right of the claimant. He must enter upon his proofs to show he has not been admitted to the Corporation roll by " grace especial." In justice the law ought to have a retrospective opera tion, that the e'ec'oral body might be purged of all pretenders. This, however, is a matter not to be looked for—unless indeed the decision of the Judges were made the groundwork of a Parliamentary pro ceedini. Put be this as it may, the best thanks of the public are due to Mr. Seton, through whose means an invasion of our rights is guarded against for the future.—lbid. THE AS,ASSINATION —The Mail unblushingly fabricates the fol lowing paragraph :—" Not only was it insinuated, but stated, in the Liberal and Government papers, and by Mr. O'Connell, that this hor rible murder was committed by the son of the late Earl; and as the false and most unfounded story upon which the villainous accusation rests namely, that of the neat- fashioned boot,' first made its ap pearance in the co!umns of the Register, we should have expected a more manly and straightforward course from its conductors." O'CONNELL AND THE CORN LAWS.—On Saturday at the Precursor Society Mr. O'Connell in the course of his speech said—" In the re port of the speech de'ivered by me at the Circus In Abbey-street, on Wedr.e.dzy last, which appeared in the Freeman's Journal, I said on that occasion, that I'd vote against the Corn-laws (and, by the b 3 e, lam glad to inform you that my son, the Member for Meath, is author cal by his constituents to do so likewise), and the sentence to which I have alluded added that I would vote against " a fixed dtry bnause it was a fixed injustice." What I said was, that I'd vote against the Corn-laws, and that I would propose " a fixed duty because it was fixed justice " The Pilot puts forth the following extraordinary paragraph : " All England rings with the Corn.laws. Our principles arc fixed —we hope they are based on justiee to all. The interest of the debt must be reduced, collateral with the reduction of the duties on foreign wheat—otherwise the cheap takes in Inland will go by the board. If we wrote twelve co'umns of - our Paper on the subject, to this conclusion should we come—notional abatement nd equ table adjustment must be the watchword of Ireland—Tile Dear I Tun Deur!" THE SULPHUR MONOPOLY. The Mowing important mercantile intelligence has been received by an eminent house in the City, under date of Palermo, Jan. 17 : The sulphur monopolist, M. Taix, has this morning de posited at the public Bank the thirty thousand ducats duo to Government, on account of the four hundred thousand ducats payable annually, as the price of the monopoly. On the 31st ult. the fusion ceased, and our letters from the interior mention the production of the whole island to be only, canters 550,000. We have written for a con firmation of the intelligence. We are persuaded the quan tity cannot exceed 650,000 cantars, including all the old sulphur of 1837 still in the country. Next fusion is likely to be still less, owing to the want of confidence in Taix and the Government p•evalent everywhere. Mine pro prietors cannot get money advanced them to work with; the little they have is already locked up in sulphur, which they cannot sell. The whole trade in this island at pre sent is perfectly paralyzed, and lays prostrate at the feet of the Government and Mons. Taix. At the end of each fusion the stock on hand has generally been from 900,000 to 1,000,000 cantars. Those who have money to dispose of amongst mine proprietors always employ it in excavat ing sulphur, so as to be ready on the Ist of July to com mence burning. At this moment only about one-third of all the mines in Sicily are at work, and others are perfectly idle, their owners not having the means of going on. We know our charge will oppose Taix with his new scheme, and much time in consequence must elapse ere any per manent measure will be concocted, delay will decrease production, and increase pecuniary wants. Stocks in fo reign countries are daily decreasing, and must ere many months elapse require to he renewed from this side. We reckon the consumption of England annually to be 37,000 tons, and it is on the increase, that of France to be 20,000 tons, conjointly 57,000 tons, equal to 741,000 cantars. NATIONAL CONVENTION. MEETING OF THIS DAY. Mr. FRosT was appointed Chairman for the day, and Mr. LovETT Secretary. The SECRETARY having read ever the minutes of last day's proceedings,a desultory conversation took place upon the propriety of having the National Petition got ready as soon as possible, in order that it might be present to Parliament on an early day. It was moved by Mr. DoucEws, that the Secretary be em powered to advertize in such papers as are deemed advantageous for the purpose of calling on the people to have their petitions ready against the 28th of this month. The resolution was seconded by Mr. O'BRIEN. A DELEGATE said, that as the petition was to be presented en the meeting'of Parliament, his constituency, although a rural one, had contributed 2,000 signatures, and would be much disappointed at the delay, if for only one month. In support of this delay he had heard no argument put forth to prevent that disappointment. Mr. DOUGLAS said, that from the great number of petitions that are yet in a state of preparation, it would be much better to await the result, of the advertisement. If we present the petition immediately, we shall not have more than 300,000 sig uatures, out by delaying a few days they will be increased to one million three hnndred thousand. Another DELEGATI said that delay was necessary, as he was convinced that the portion of the country which he represented, namely, Devonshire and Cornwall, would in a few (lays do their utmost to swell the numbers. Resolution passed. Dr. WADE said that care should be taken to give, through the Press, the proper designation of the gentlemen who addressed the meeting. He was induced to make this remark from seeing his friend, the Bailie of Kilmarnock, named Mr. 'Raily. It was important that this should be noticed, as the public should be made acquainted with the station of those who composed their meeting, for instance, the Chairman was a Magistrate of North Wales. It vms resolved that the Secretary do read the ;lames of the members each day at 11 o'clock. It was also resolved that Mr. Carpenter be added to the pre sent treasurers, and that the treasurers be Messrs. Rogers, Car penter, and Craig. It was then moved by Mr. MATtiEws—That a Committee be appointed to ascertain the best means of disseminating poli tical information throughout the kingdom, and more especially in the metropolis, and to report as speedily as possible. Dr. TAYLOR seconded it. Upon the question being put that it do pass, a very warm de bate took place between Messrs. Hadley, Bussey, Whittle, J. P. Cobbett, Collins, Pardue, &c., on the legality of appointing this Committee, as perhaps it would come under the unrepealed Act of 37 Geo. 111., under which the Dorchester labourers were transported. Mr. DOUGLAS, in support of the motion, said that the clause under which the Dorchester labourers were transported was a clause against illegal oaths and secret meetings. He said that if Committees ,emanating from this convention were illegal, they had already committed themselves, as they had ap pointed two or three Committees before this. Resolution passed and a Committee appointed. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.) DEAL, FEE. s.—Wind S.S.

The streets were thronged, and the two Houses were crowded. The Speech, which appeared in our Evening Edition, was delivered at two o'clock, and afterwards the Houses adjourned. At five the House of Lords met again, and before the Address was moved, Lord DURHAM inquired when the papers relative to Canada would be laid before their Lordships ? Viscount MELBOURNE replied, immediately after Ministers had had an opportunity of examining their contents. Lord Durham's Report was only received yesterday at the Colonial Office. The Earl of Lovelace then moved the Address, and Lord Vernon seconded it. Both speeches were respect able, but neither are remarkable for ability. The Duke of WELLINGTON went through all the topics of the Speech. He was glad it contained nothing of importance, and therefore he had nothing to object to in it. Pie made, however, a few observations on the Ministry. The Duke of RICHMOND took the opportunity of Lord Vernon having alluded to the Corn-laws to declare that the repeal of those laws would ruin the agricultural interest, which, on the showing of the Noble Duke there fore, now represents the baronial interest of old, and can only thrive by levying a kind of black-mail on the people. The Earl of WINCHELSEA took the same side. Lord COLCHESTER was surprised that the state of the Navy was not adverted to, and Lord MINTo ex cused the omission as proper at that time. Viscount MELBOURNE stated that the Corn-law question was an open one in the Cabinet, and repeated his statement of last Session, and defended himself with some zeal against the suspicion of ever having encou raged Precursor or Political Reform Meetings, regard ing all such as hostile to the Constitution. They give Ministers trouble. Lord BROUGHAM wound up the debate in a fine speech, which requires rather to be read than commented on. His Lordship's observations on the Indian war, in which he appears nearly to coincide with the Duke of Wellington, and his thrilling and severe, yet personal remarks on Ireland, will astonish some readers and de light many more. After a short speech from the Mar quis of Lansdowne, the Address was carried nem. con. In the Commons, new writs were moved for Sand wich, the Tower Hamlets, Clonmel, Buckingham (County), and Cavan. On the part of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, notices were given relative to measures for better ordering Prisons, improving County Courts, enlarging the jurisdiction of Justices, relative to Education, and carrying into execu tion the Fourth Report of the Ecclesiastical Commis sioners—all matters of detail, which have no interest for the people. On the part of Mr. VERNON SMITM, a notice was given that be would move for a Committee on Church Leases ; and on the part of Lord MORPETH, that he would, on February 14, move for leave to bring in a Bill for the better regulation of the Corporations of Ireland. ....--..... Lord MAHON, the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, and Sir R. PEEL, severally gave notice of measures to amend the jurisdiction and the law in cases of Controverted Elections. . On the 19th Mr. VILLIERS is to move to hear evi dence at the bar on the subject of the Corn-laws. A variety of other notices were given, the zeal of the Members for legislation having much accumulated by the vacation. The Address was moved in the Commons in a very bungling manner by Mr. E. Buller, and seconded in a manner, not very suitable for a Manchester man by Mr. G. R. Wood, who obviously prefers serving his oppo nents to serving his friends ; and, therefore, candidly brought forth some truths that were cheered by the farmer's friends, and might perhaps convince the Chamber of Commerce of Manchester that he had not forgotten nor forgiven, his recent defeat. If her Majesty's Speech had nothing to please the Corn-law Abolitionists, the speeches of the mover and seconder of the Address gave them no satisfaction. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE followed Mr. G. R. Wood, and moved the amendment relative to the representation, which has already been announced. His motion was seconded by Mr. WARD, and both gentlemen took a sensible view of the consequences of the Reform Act and of the Tory inclinations of the Ministers. Mr. HANDLEY opposed the amendment, and lauded Mr. G. R. Wood's candid statement. Mr. HOME replied to Mr. Handley and Mr. Wood, and, adopting the theory of the late Alderman Waith man, that men will carry on a losing trade, made it ap pear that though our exports had increased our profit able trade bad declined. The Hon. Member made a just attack on the Corn-laws. Mr. BROTHERTON supported the amendment. Mr. HEATHCOTE defended the Corn-laws, affirming that all classes in the country were for them, and expressing his satisfaction that Ministers had not alluded to them in the Speech. Mr. JAMES, though for reform, objected to t4e amend ment, as showing a want of respect fur her MAJESTY. Mr. O'CONNELL was in favour of the amendment, but the principal part of his speech was directed against the intended dismemberment of Belgium. Sir ROBERT PEEL entered at considerable length into our Indian policy, of which he disapproved, and required that something more should be done to make the Ame ricans respect our frontiers. Sir ROBERT, like Mr. G. R. Wood, was prepared to show that our exports had increased, and therefore the present system is not to be altered, and the people aro to starve. He made a severe attack on Lord John Russell for his speech at Liverpool, an attack on all reform, and declared stoutly against the Amendment. Mr. Villiers laughed at the Right Hon. Baronet for talking on all subjects but those which interest the community, and assured the House and the Ministers that their conduct would be extremely satis factory to the Chartists and ajustification of their opinions. Lord JOHN RUSSELL concluded the debate. He de nied that Belgium was injured, in reply to Mr. O'Con nell ; and he touched on the affairs of Canada, in reply to Sir Robert Peel. He spoke favourably of the repeal of the Corn-laws, and strongly against Mr. Duncombe's amendment, and referred nith some asperity to the acrimony of that Gentleman. The House divided on Mr. Duncombe's amendment, which was supported by 86 votes—the strength of the extreme Radical party, and opposed by 4.26, the force of the United Tories and Whigs. We say nothing of the judiciousness of Mr. Duncombe's motion, but we lament to see both parties combining against the people as if it were determined to oppose, provoke, and sub due them. Alluding to the subject of the Corn-laws last night, and to Ministers' declaration that the question was " an open one" in the Cabinet, Lord BROUGHAM observed— " If he liked the nearer approach of the Noble Viscount to his opinion, he was far from liking his mode of deal ing with the subject, for above all things did he abomi nate what were called open questions." Those who re member the long and arduous struggle for Catholic Emancipation, when one-half the Cabinet was pulling for years against the other half, and parties were balanced with such exquisite nicety, as most ingeniously at every turn to neutralize each other's efforts, like one set of horses pulling at the head of a waggon, and another pulling at the tail—those, we say, who remember this state of thins and remember also for how long a time it was pursued,. with *o other advantage than that of keep ing Ireland in u constant state of insurrection—will feel strongly disposed to coincide with Lord BROUGHAM in his great distrust of " open questions." " Open ques tions" indee d ! Is this all the satisfaction we are to re ceive on tht subject of the Corn-laws ? When we ask for a decisit ►n, be it favourable or be it adverse, are we to be put off with an " open question ?" When the country is in agitation from one extremity to the other ; when the ;topic of the Corn-laws is in every one's mouth, and every ,one has formed some strong, decided opinion upon it ; to y, when Delegates from all parts of the king dom are at this very moment assembled in the me tropolis, ft ►t- the purpose of endeavouring to bring the questi.on to a crisis—is the Prime Minister of England' to be the only one who has not yet made up his: mind on the matter ? It is with bit ter re gret that ore ask these questions ; but Lord MEL BOURNE'S snscillation leaves us no alternative. We say " vacillati on ," but perhaps the more fitting word would be " indiVer once," for no one can read his Lordship's re marks on. Om (at present) all-absorbing question of the Corn-laws, and not perceive at a glance that he is in ro very particular hurry to trouble himself with the details of the subj ect, but prefers rather to trust to the chap ter of accit tents, and leave the question to shift for—and if needs be —to carry itself ! Like Lord FITZWILLIAM, we had 'some faint hopes that the Parliament, alarmed by the general expression of distrust; and discontent amongst the millions, would have take a. the earliest opportunity of declaring that it meant—%" liether they asked for it or not—to do them justice, a ed set them a proper example of " keeping their hat Ids from picking and stealing." Lord FITZ WILLIAM,. in his recently published pamphlet, says,— but, alas: Lord FITZWILLIAM is only one generous, honest-n - tiuded man—and if three were found, peradven ture the. :guilty might yet escape " There is still a noble and patriotic course open to you; you may, by a dispassionate consideration of this great question, convict of injustice 'those who have accused you of selfishness, and exhibit a convincin4 proof that, if you have erred, your error has arisen from the desire,. of protecting those classes With whom you are more im mediately connected, and whom you have erroneously supposed to be interest cd in the maintenance of the system. If, on tl , c other hand, you: continue to cling to a system, from which tha agricultural labourer it; suffering more than any other section of the community, you wil Ea ve a sanction to those ungenerous suspicions which hang over your • tbonduct." Thost! to whom Lord FiTzwu,LlAm thus appeals have sh own themselves dead to those noble feelings which c; us alone lend titles a lustre. We a re less surprised than mortified to find that Mr. G. W. Woof.), who obviously derives his information from the :Board of Trade, supplied the Corn-law advo cates last night with weapons and cheers to attack his friends. 'We have not time to examine tho matters further to-day, but Mr. `Noon's quotations look to us as if be had been put forward to make out a defence for bis friend the President of the Board of Trade. Our x , eaders will see with surprise and grief, the speech which Ministers have placed in the mouth of her MAJESTY. The most interesting public topics are wholly .omitted, as if the Government and the people belonged to different countries. At the moment when the people are agitated from one end of the land to the other with apprehension of distress and with actual starvation, not one word of sympathy can Ministers find for their sufferings. Wheat is, or has been, at 80s., it has doubled in price in three years, and the Ministers are silent. The harvest is short, the people are on very short commons, and the harvest is passed over. At a time when the sufferings of the 'Working Classes, and, let us add, when no inconsiderable degree of in sult, of exclusion from rights enjoyed by the rest of their fellow-citizens, have almost maddened them, when they have met in great multitudes and under the influence of exasperated feelingi, have used improper and violent language, and have refused to petition the Parliament, because they mistrust it, — at a time when, as Mr. WARD said, two other Parlia ments—the emblems of the suffering and exasperation of the people —are sitting within fifty yards of the House of Commons—the Ministers, deeply do we regret to say, have not a single word of commisseration, or pity, or of soothing for the bulk of the people ; but make her MAJESTY refer to their meetings with an implied threat that she will call the law into force against hungry, suf fering, and therefore indiscreet men. It is, in our humble judgment, very ill-advised not to place one word of kindliness in the mouth of her MA JESTY—not one expression of sorrow for the numerous provocations of her people which they have borne most loyally ; and neglecting that, it is most injudicious, we must boldly, but honestly affirm, to assign to her MAJESTY the ungracious task of threatening her sub jects. If the law had not sunk in general esteem, and the law-makers were not openly branded as corrupt, profligate, unworthy men—if the very source of all authority had not run dry, and the stream had not stag nated in fetid pools, such language might have become a masculine warrior, or rigid Monarch ready to carry out his threats by the sword ; but when the Legislature itself has fallen into contempt, to put such language in the mouth of a young and gracious QUEEN, as long as the people are starving, is a sort of outrage both on her MAJESTY and her patient subjects. It smites dead at one blow all their hopes. It separates her at once from them, and plainly invites them to rely on their own prudence for safety, and their own energy for redress. He is a most ignorant or most conceited man who denies that the hard worked and poorly paid people of England have many very serious grievances to com plain of. He must be blind to the working of political systems who is not aware that a population suffering like ours, and tantalized like ours, by continually hearing the accents of liberty, and being continually excited to seek it even by those who snatch it from them, is peculi arly dangerous ; and the Ministers who, being sensible of this danger, instead of redressing the grievances of the people, slight or threaten them, peril their own reputation and the peace of their country. We had not lost all hopes till we read her MAJESTY'S Speech, and heard the debate ; but now we begin, like the Chartists, to fear that nothing good can be obtained from the Ministry and the Parliament. The allusion to the torch-light meetings, and violent language of the Chartists, is the more extraordinary, as no mention is made in the Speech of the state of Ireland, which, as Lord BROUGHAM showed, is far worse than that of England. Unfortunately the English have suffered patiently so long that they seem now to court oppres sion at the hands, both of the Ministers and the Parlia ment ; while the Irish by their vigorous resistance have taught the Government to respect them. If it were unwise not to allude with compassion to the sufferings of the English, it is ungenerous to reprove them and say not one word in reference to the outrages which are committed in Ireland. In the course of the debate we could but remark that it was curious to see the Ministers attacked by their own friends. Their opponents, bespeaking a divided House, sat on the Ministerial Benches. It was terrifying too, also, to hear the landowners yelling out their dis probation when Mr. Hums spoke of the people, who receive 75., 95., or lOs. a-week, as slowly perishing of hunger. If the Ministers are at once powerless to the great, and severe to the poor, the country gen tlemen refuse even to allow the distress of the people to be mentioned, and are resolved to close their cars against complaints. No public benefit can possibly arise from an exasperated people and an insulting Legis lature, and the opening of the second Session of the first Parliament of her Majesty fully justifies the language we borrowed yesterday from the Times—eventful days are at hand. The whole of the Paris Journals of Monday, have been, received this morning. They are occupied prin cipally with the preparatory movements to a grand election struggle. As usual the National is in the thick of the strife ; and as usual plays all sorts of vagaries with prin ciples, in order to aim a blow at England. In this Jour nal, more than any other in France, has the King been denounced for centering in his own person all the attri butes of the Monarchy, executive and deliberative ; and now the Editor says :—" We have never un derstood that in France the King could be reduced to play the part of an automaton—a part to which the English Oligarchy attempts to condemn its Sovereign. It may have suited a King of the Brunswick race to fatten in his palace, and brutalize himself in the midst of disgraceful orgies, without taking any part in the Government, except to sign a few Ordinances, but France will never put 1119 with a slothful Sovereign—her Monarch must think and act, at the risk of sometimes incurring, like CHARLES X., a responsibility not written in the Charter." It is quite clear from this that the National is equally ignorant of the history and the Constitution of this country. Had the writer of the above condescended to inform himself —what French newspaper writers very rarely do—of the facts upon which he was theorising, ne would have discovered that England has had more cause to regret the self-willed determination of her Sove reigns of the Brunswick line, than to complain of their indolence or their vice—aye, and so even has France. Had GEORGE 111. never played the Royal game which the National deems so worthy of a French Sovereign, England would have been spared the disgrace of an American war, fraught with the seeds of a fright ful French revolution. An electoral Committee has been formed by the op position electors of the twelve arrondissements of Paris, which is to put itself in communication with the Electoral Committees about to be organized in all the several de partments of the kingdom. The Ministers and their friends meet daily at General JACQUEMINOT'S. The opposition is divided into five fractions, the members of which assemble severally at the residences of MM. THIERS, GANNERON, ()DILLON BARROT, JOSEPH PERIER, and BERRYER. The leaders, however, are acting in concert, and their extreme differences of opinion, ■o far from being a source of weakness, as the Court party assumes, is, in reality, the great secret of their strength. They address them selves to men of every shade in politics, so that, what ever be the creed of the discontented, they unfurl a banner under which there can be no inconsistency in marching against the Cabinet. Our Paris Correspondent mentions the prevalence of a rumour on the Bourse on Monday of the sudden disso lution of the Belgian Chambers ; but up to the hour at which we go to Press no confirmation of it has reached us. Wo trust it will prove unfounded. A dissolution of the Belgian Chamber of Deputies might lead to serious inconvenience at the present moment. • Letters from Berlin announce the adoption of mea sures of a warlike tendency by the Prussian Govern ment. The officers on furlough have all received orders to join their regiments. FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, MONDAY, FEB. 4.—This being settling_day at the Bourse, the fluctuations in the French Funds are owing snore to the wants of the brokers in liquidating their accounts than to any effect excited by the dissolution of the Chambers, an event which, as far as inflnenc ing the public credit in France, has already been duly appreciated. The Five per Cents. for cash opened at 110 f. 35c. The Threes were slack at 78f. 45e., and closed at the same price. We are all on the qui vivo regarding the results of the approaching elections, and there is an evident tendency to induce the Carlists to persevere in the system of coalition, and it is not at all improbable that to promote their ends they may affect to join in the intrigue. Many of the French Papers regard the Dissolution as a coup d'etat, more hardy than that which cost a crown to Charles the Tenth, whilst the Ministerial organs are vehement in their professions of the preroga tive having been lawfully and seasonably exerted. The result of the elections will be the test. At Four o'clock the Three per Cents. were 78 50, end of February. N.B.—A report on 'Change of the Dissolution of the Belgian Chambers. The bankruptcy of Cockerill confirmed. We have the following from our private Correspondent : EaroNNE, Tam. 30.—Don Carlos was still at Ascoitra on the 26th. It seems that the late movement of Espartero from Miranda, in the direction of Orduna, had not led to any result. Maroto has re sumed his position in Maya. Pants, Fan, 4 —The had success of the expedition, for the pur pose ot attempting to establish a communication by land between Constantine and Algiers has already produced fatal effects. A letter from Algiers of the 24th January says that the carriage leaving Stora belonging to Messrs. Duteit and Company had been stopped by the Kabyles between Larouche and Dueemendi. Five persons who were in it were massacred and cut to pieces. A letter from Toulon of the 31st January, says that the extraor dinary levy of registered seamen is proceeding with much activity.

The MASTER of the ROLLS, sat this day in his Court, in the Roll's yard, for the purpose of hearing Mr. Temple's reply to the argu ments addressed to his Lordship in this case. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) THE POOR LAW COMMISSIONERS AND THE STRAND UNION, This was a case argued during the Michaelmas Tetrn for the pur pose of quashing an order of the Poor Law Commissioners directing the Guardians of the Strand Union to appoint a collector: and i was resisted by the parish of St. Paul's, Covent Garden, on account of a local act which gave them the power to appoiht collectors with peculiar privileges. Lord DENMAN said the Court had entertained consi derable doubts on the subject," and had at length come to the conclusion that the order of the Poor Law Commis sioners could nct be sustained. They thought that at least until the union was made perfect,they had no power to call upon the Guardians to make an appointment for a separate parish under the circumstances stated. The Court had thought it right to deliver this opinion as soon as it had been formed, on account of the incon venience that seemed to have arisen from the state of uncertainty in which parishes were placed. The ATTORNEY GENERAL said there was another case where there was not a local Act. He presumed their Lordships had not given an opinion on that. Lord DENMAN did not give any opinion on that case. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) Martin Smith Metcalf, publisher of the Morning Chronicle, was brought up for re-examination, charged with embezzling various sums of money, the property of his employers. Mr. Easthope, ➢I.P., was in attendance. Mr. Amin URST, the Solicitor for the prosecutors said the prisoner was charged with embezzling various sums of money belonging to his employer, and since the charge was preferred against him en Sa turday last, it appeared, upon looking over the books, that several small sums were unaccounted for; he, therefore, as the embezzle. ment was of a considerable amount, requested, with the approbation of the prisoner, that he be remanded for a fortnight. Mr. Mibrstinta. (to the prisoner)—You hear what has been said ; have you any objection to make ? The prisoner (faintly)—l have no objection to such an arrangement He was then removed from the bar. THE MARKETS.--(THIS DAY.) MOINE AM.) COmmEttUIAL vv CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Arrivals this morning—French and Lisbon Mails, the latter by the Iberia which sailed on the 28th of Jan., from Gibraltar, 24th of Jan., from Cadiz, 25th Jan. Oporto, 30th Jan., Vigo. Also a mail from Brazils, by the Lap wing, which sailed from Rio Dec. 16th, Bahia 14th Nov., Pernambuco Nov. Bth. No ship letters. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, TVERDAY.—The demand for Cotton to-day has been to a moderate extent, the sales 3,500 bags, without alteration in prices, 1,500 on speculation. We have received Gibraltar Chronicles to the 24th of January ; as usual, the news from the theatre of war in Spain anticipated by the French Papers. We have received the Buenos Ayres papers of the 25th November. Financial matters at present occupy a considerable por tion of the public attention; the Committee of Finance pre sented a project upon the subject to the House of Represen tatives, and Seniors Mannella, Lahitti, and Garrigas also presented each a project to the Committee of Fi nance, all of which were published in the Gaceta Mer cantile of the 17th inst. On that day the Government forwarded a note to the House in tenour, that the projects in question, so far from meeting the present difficulties, would augment them, and therefore requested that the House would suspend all discussion upon the subject, until the Government should present a project of their own, which perhaps might conciliate all opinions, and meet with the approbation of the Representatives; but should the House of R-presentatives not think proper to agree to the proposed suspension, the Minister of Finance had orders to attend the discussion to which he had been cited. The House agreed to the solicitation of the Government, and things thus remained. It again assembled yesterday, to take into consideration a note from the Executive upon another subject. ORIENTAL STATE.—We have received she Monte Video Journal of the 17th inst., and perused several others which have sprung up in that capital since the new order of things. " Amongst the decrees issued by the new Govern ment, one proscribes the Ex- President Oribe, depriving him of his grades and citizenship, and forbidding him to set foot on the Oriental territory. The same applies to those who followed him to Buenos Ayres, unless they return within forty days. There is also a decree of amnesty for political opinions, and one establishing the liberty of the press. Extract of a Letter from Monte Video of the 16th inst. : " Are yon aware that at the Theatre hero on the evening of the 4th inst, the box opposite to that of the Government, in which sat President Rivera, was occupied by French officers, and that the said box was ornament, d with the tri-colour of France. This was a bad taste. Rivera's flo tilla, consisting of several vessels, in junction with a num ber of French craft, great and small, will assist the French Admiral. Lablanc has purchased the schooner Relampayn, and is about to arm her; and it is stated he is in treaty for tao others. There are now 150 foreign merchant ves sclsin the port of Monte Video, and 50 coasters." Extract of a letter at the North and South American Coffee-house, from Rio Janeiro, Dec. 15 :—. " In addition to the foregoing, I have principally to in form you that our Stock Nlarket is exceedingly flat, and I believe that if 75 were offered for 100 Bonds, it would be gladly accepted. It is now generally believed that the new credit of 3,780 centos, will not be issued in London, but here." (From the Rio Janeiro Price Current of the 14th Dec.) STOCKS.-The transactions since our last have been very considerable, the greater part at 76, and for small amounts 77, which is one and two per cent. lower than our last quotations; during the present week the Market has been rather heavy, however there appears to be no in - clination to sell under the present prices. The Treasury have taken but a small amount to discount this month, and owing to higher rates being obtained on private bills, money has not conic forward freely at the reduced rates, at 7i to 8 per cent. Specie has been in great demand, chiefly for the River Plate, and prices of dollars, ounces and silver. have risen considerably in consequence, being now for all descriptions of specie much above the par of Exchange. P. S.—Saturday no alteration in the exchange. Some business has been done both at 28idol. and 29d01., but chiefly at the former rate. Coffee sales to-day 3,000 bap, at a reduction of 50 reels. The intelligence by the Lisbon mail is not of much im portance. Things remain much in the same situation as by the previoui accounts. It was reported at Lisbon that the young Remichedo died from the wounds he had received three or four weeks ago. The Lapwing, froin Rio, has brought a small freight of 3.000/. Our Minister, Mr. Mandeville, at the request of Rozes, offered to act on the part of the British Government to settle the question, by its being submitted to the arbi tration of Great Britain, and M. Rogers said he would not consent to it without the sanction of the French Govern ment. TUB FUNDS. We have arrivals this morning of Brazil and Buenos Ayres mails, as well as a mail from Luben ; by the former there is no political news:of consequence. but the the funds come lower. The blockade by the French squadron of Buones Ayres still continues with vigour. At Lisbon all was tranquil, and the state of affairs remained much the same as by the previous intelligence from that country. The Queen's Speech to the present hour has not bad any effect on the Funds. Consols opened at the closing prices of yesterday, 924 I both for money and time.

Captain Anselmo Ferreira has taken a second time the town, and declared he would maintain it until he received counter orders from the central overnment. His troops are getting stronger daily ; the crimi nals:in the environs join his banners; lately he issued a pro clamation toihis men, declaring he had assassinated the Jus tice of Peace, Pambo, which he executed with gr e at cruelty, and will soon act th e same w i th the Judge of the Law. President, and Secretary of the Chamber. Must of the families are leaving the town; the greatest consternation prevails in that district." NEWCASTLE MURDER.—We tdnderstand that her Majesty's Judges of Assize have sent fur the depositions in this case, and they have been dispatched. A rumour has been going the round of the London papers that the trial was to be removed to York, but we know that this is not true, and we believe there is as little truth in the report that it is to be removed t• the County Courts of Northumberland. We are, however, of opinion that the removal of the trial at all would be injudicious, and the very opposite of benefi cial to the accused party, though at the same time we believe there are few of the inhabitants of this town liable to serve as jurymen who weu►d not be exceedingly glad if the onerous responsibility of the case was deputed to other parties. We have seen the model of the Savings' Bank premises, which is very complete, and must be of the utmost service to those whose lot it will be to sit in judgment upon this most barbarous murder. Mary Walker, Bolam's house keeper, will be brought up for examination on Thursday next, when it is fully expected that she will be committed to take her trial as an accessory to the fact —Tyne Mercury of yesterday.

TIMES.—The Royal Speech was known in the City before the ter mination of business, and underwent more eager discussion than usual among the little knots of politicians collected for that purpose. The general feeling respecting it, so far as our observation went, was one of disappointment and uneasiness—first, because it is without the usual consolatory reference to the " prosperous" state of the country's resources; and next, because indications of danger are given in such vital points of our colonial and foreign policy. There seems to have been some expectation that the Speech would have al luded to the Corn-law question. A new loan would appear to be in evitable in the course of the Spring, from the passage of the Speecd which recommends that " adequate provision be made for the exigen cies of the public service;" and, in that case, the earnest desire of the monied interest would be to have Mr. Spring Rice fairly among them, placing his reliance upon the real capitalists of the country, and abandoning all his jugglery with the Saving-banks' money and the Bank of England, which must bring him and the countrry into a state of perplexity from which it cannot escape but by some great and painful (flint POST.—The Stock Markets were both heavy again to-day. The ceremony of opening a new session of Parliament by the Queen seems to have engrossed the chief attention of our moneyed men. Theelarm which has been kept up in some quarters about the exportation of specie and gold bars turns out to be purely imaginary. Bills on Paris were freely offered, but purchases were by no means numerous. The rate may be expected, therefore, to take another start in favour °Mils country in the course of a post day or two. Considering the increaseddemand that has existed of late for drafts for remittance on account of corn purchases, it is perhaps rather to be wondered at that there has not been some trifling derangement, but, hitherto, the exchanges have not been sufficiently depressed to afford the exporter the necessary compensation for the trouble and expense of shipment, the loss in interest, and the charge for insur ance at the comparatively high rate of premium demanded on win ter risks. HER A LD.—Her Majesty's Speech to Parliament has of course excited some interest here, and it is considered, though longer than usual, by some to be of a favourable character ; on all hands, how. ever, it is admitted to be rather more of a lady-like address than a political one, treating boldly of the public affairs of this empire. It appears by the United States papers, receivedhere yesterday, that the United States Congress has commenced to set our legislature the important example of preventing, by powerful enactments the. great hazard and sacrifice of human life which has constantly arisen from the dangerous qactice of steam-boat racing. It also appears, fristh a statement of a New York paper, that the total arrivals in that port during the year 1838 amounted to 1,700 vessels. Of this number 1,361 were American, 230 British, 20 French, and the rest from ether countries. During the same year 25,581 passengers arrived at that port, being less than half the num ber which arrived out in 1637. The troubles in Canada account for he latter incident. The Public Recorder of Sunday last, in alluding to the Royal Speech, predicted that we should be " congratulated on the conclusion of important commercial treaties with Turkey and Austria, and on the probable settlement of the differences between Holland and Belgium; that the state of Spain would be deplored ; that our relations with America would be considered satisfactory; and, above all, that No mention would be made of the Corn-laws." This is almost as lucky a guess as that made by Murphy on the du. ration of the last )ear's frost. TREMENDOUS FALL AT SIIA KSPEARE'S CLIFF. —A few days ago, a tremendous fall of chalk took place at the facing of the ruck forming the entrance of the west Tunnel through Shak. speare's Cliff; and, had not some warning been given by particles falling, no less than seventy-eight men must have been crushed to atoms, so lofty was its pitch, and forming as it did a mass of several thousand tons. By this fall, however, the geologists have a treat, as the vertebra of an immense animal have been laid bare, and it is ex pected that the remaining parts of the skeleton will be found on the removal of the fallen rubbish. The works of this undertaking are progressing rapidly. The east tunnel is cut through the intended line; and the shafts are being steamed up to the surface of the mound, to avoid accident to the workmen below. In short, the whole of the road from Dover to Folkestone is one scene of bustle and energy. A tram line is laid down to expedite the removal of materials, &c., for the prosecntion of this great nation a l un d erta ki ng. Canterbury Journal. THI I LOBivING u ." I * TO OUR READERS AND THE PUBLIC. (FROM OUR MORNING EDITION.) This morning The Sun appears in a new, but in I t. proper character. The natural sun rises in the morn- • ing-, and the artificial, affecting to be natural, ought to' be the reflection of its prototype. For the last ten or ' twelve years The Sun newspaper has been the 0n1Y,., Journal that advocated the promotion and extension of that very principle which now compels itself to alter itsf. course and adapt its conduct to the sweeping m arch o events. The Sun has had the merit of calling ra ilroads on a large scale into existence, and now, to preserve its own being, it is compelled to follow the magic c ourse of that wand which it was the first to summon Into action.. The extraordinary change which the ramification of, railways over the country has produced in the mode ofil(: rapidity of communication is apparent to all---oclea so is the necessity of being prepared for the conseqnenees' Recent circumstances have sufficiently indicated tbe course to bo adopted by those Newspapers whos e els tence depends on promptitude of conduct and eneio of action. To these The Sun owes its present charac•-• ter ; and to swerve or hesitate now in that oare e.r. were suicide. The endurance which has hither , triumphed over difficulties of no ordinary charactt s't will still support The Sun in its apparently more ardut endeavours. We boast not—they only boast who • sr e d fearful of success—we have passed the Rubicon, shall do our best. We want no favour—the discern tit t Public only favour themselves. So far we art' on e' terms. -,We As to politics, we are of no recognised party is hold the mirror up to faction—for we are the hlicrb e party of the people—the party which pays for all tb extravagance or folly, or it may be, the goodnature one faction towards another. We have said that we are of no recognised party-' and )et we support the present Ministers—not for thet inherent virtues—but as a choice of evils. We suPP °l° the Whigs in preference to the Tories, because Whigs pr(fess to have the welfare of the people rte heart :—the Tories, perhaps more honest, advto their own. Hitherto the Whigs have been E n t dured on account of their past conduct, 11 the day of reckoning is at hand. They must eith 6 do better or worse. Which alternative they may eW s t e i. remains to be seen. They say the Reform Bill is 5 0 was a final measure ; if so, why did they disturb the t.shes of their ancestors ? On what principle is finality founded—knowledge or apprellegsion? Are the masses to forego their acquired knowledge seeing that they hau l nothing to apprehend ? In their lowest depth h a lower can they fall but in the mockery of hope 01 quickened to be blasted ! If men in power were wise they would be ho ne t Candour to their true friends and supporters o w not but sound as the note of hearty defiance to their enemies. But why should the paramount interests of a grea t people be at the mercy of party ? The secret is to ld the memorable results of the last fifty years. Pe ll ; cal parties are like actors on the stage fighting all the mock fervency of noble ambition—behind t.ev, scenes bandying personal complaisancies, and laug h !n at the gullibility of the spectators :—in officefructOy e in the sunshine of summer delight—and out of p lace growling in the bitterness of wintry discontent. But what care the people of Englaral for faction , e it Whig or Tory ? Are the vital interests oe.l a nation to be jeopardized for the erroneous and g rev a ii ling predilections of party ? And yet what d o the Legislative enactments of the counts y tend to, ''? for the interests of the few at the expense .of the 11 08 1 1 Let any honest man, be he Whig or Tory , e ° ,., ask himself—ought such things to be if he had no il s rest in their continuance ?

II i r:of everything you want next Session—only just de ;be - for the present." o blie Why should Irish questions engross all the ,P ie p time ? Simply because it is the interest of party to l l, - i e sS them in a state of abeyance. Is this just to ther who have suffered so much and endured so long ?- " 4 ,11 d it fair to the country at large, who are made misty' to t participators in such left-handed legislation ? Is it ' O s notorious that something is wrong in the ricketty balatid of parties ? That some revolting spirit finding the vi°` getting tired of any more cuckoo notes in his behalf, te r round upon his own friends, and like the dying Glacii tor, endeavours to crush whom he cannot convince. We have for a long time supported Ministers, ---v c. in 'Ra% must support them still as a choice of evils. Tn. have sonic good points in their composition ; " e „, their ship Icaks irremediably ; and unless the rotael planks be speedily cut out, and their places suppl ee " with sound timber, there is an end of the concern. We are no traitors to the cause of the country ; b el l ; ing a large stake in the publi c we lf are , we are deep '' interested in the national safety. But where is th e guarantee for that safety, if plausible hopes are to scr ee as the decoy ducks to party ambition ? Our Radicals, or Liberals if they please, are l e arni' s f r too fast to be duly wise ; they drink b e y o nd th ei . depth, and are t o o phil os ophical f or a ll prac tical Pl i c poses.

The people will " t sgst made the t oo l s o f p ar t y ; an d part i es, f i nd i ng their v .- t chance to be in conciliation, will endeavou r e a length to come to terms.
