LONpON,,VRIPAY, JUNE 21, 1844: In the Commons forty-nine petitions werepresented in favour. of the - Repeal of the, Union. In answer to question from 'Mr. MASTERMAN re lative to the pperation of ,the , Bank, Charter. Bill and Joint-Stock Banks, lir. GLADSTONE said it was ,not not the intention of the Government to apply the pro , visions of the Bill ,to these banks at. present, except• with' regard to registration. The Government recog nised all tile privileps of these.hanke up .to the pass ing of the 13111. . " • . C aptE9I : I44YARD asked 16 • Government whether there was any truthin the report th 4 P‘rl DE GREY tiO resigned his:Ciffice as Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland.. Lord ELIOT 'could give no answer, and referred the Hon: Member to Sir ItonERT PEEL. At a later period of the evening Sir R. PEEL ob served that he had mistaken Captain Leirsiizi's= quek tion respecting Lord DE Games resignation—he had resigned, but solely through ill health, Mr: s it/EL L goe.notipe that he would this evening put a question.,..to Roßta'r P,AEL, to ascerta i n whether he :had issued anrorderktoi the Educati on Committee, relative to Church patronage -in Ireland., The'llouse went into' Conunittee the Sugar Duties Bill,. when . : a very.amusii*- dist, 11881 9 n took place, about.slave-labour sugar and free?labour. sugar. The only answer relative to ih - eir 4,lippctiost was given by Mr. iILAIMITME, wha:Said 41* slavery of Java was different from the slavery 4,,? Br ski . This. was no answer at ally anclnotwitlistitkilug spaio able remarks made by Lordt.PAEXERSA'OI4, Ministers could not adduce another 'argunietit in favour of their differential duty. Mr. Hints stated, evidently with the' apprObation of, tbe House, that the . Government itself did nat„kno*Ayliat the distinction meant. A lengthened; towveritatlon- fol• lowed, when Mr. GLADS4VNE, beYiedrivelYinto a corner, declared that. he ,did_oot know-whether the . i sugEw raised in ‘Cochin-China was the produce of free labour:- Nearly the. whole of the evening was o&u i - pied n the discussion of the different,elauses:of this Bill, and no'Government certainly ever made such a tame defence for a- -' • - treasure of ouch vast importance, GLADSTCriawho .hail .t o bear , the brunt of. the battle, had recourse to mere shuffling—to the logic practised in debating clubs, and Sir Itoszat Pan now and then came to his relief, but, unrortunately, he lent him no aid. Taking it altogether, this Sugar Bill is the most bungling measure ever introduced into Parliament. Government pretend a hcrror of sugar raised by slaves; they insult the Brazilians, among the best of our customers ; and they give a preference to some miserable islands in the East, where, according to all accounts, slavery is more ram pant than in South America. On the fourth clause being read, which referred to certificates respecting the countries from which sugar was to be imported, a division took place, on the motion of Lord PALMERSTON, when there were, for the clause, 114 ; and against it, 60. Several other clauses were agreed to, -and the House resumed. The report was ordered to be re ceived this day. The Parishes (Scotland) Bill was read a third time and passed. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at half-past One. ' At the usual weekly meeting of the Anti-corn-law League, which took place on Wednesday evening in Covent-garden Theatre, Mr. COBDEN, alluding to the approaching debate in the House of Commons on the bread-tax, observed :---" Before we meet again in .this place for the promotion of the objects of free trade, our friend Mr. VILLIERS will have submitted this question to the consideration and decision of Parliament. I will not now stay to inquire as to the probable manner in which the Members of the House -may treat that motion; it is sufficient for us to know that, after their election to Parliament forthe pur pose of upholding and continuing monopoly, the rank and file of the monopolists, who think it . right to .sacrifice every interest , of the country ,to , their own, are not likely to make any concessions noi:v' The „ probability unquestionably is, as the Member for Stockport says, that the Con-, servatives will vote to a man in favour of the continuance of the corn-laws ; but it is by no means a matter of certainty that they will , do so, for after their late extraordinary and unhesitating changes and tergiversations, at the command of their Corypineus, Sir ROBRRT PEEL, it is impossible to speculate on the course of conduct they will be likely to pursue on any public question of moment. That they will look pretty sharply after, what they,•con, sider to be, their own interests, may be predicated of them with great safety ; still, as their blind, cringing obedience to their despotic chief, and their horror of embarrassing him by any decided manifestation of independence, are apparently stronger feelings with them than even their own selfish interests v there is little doubt that if the Premier was to de l clare hitn.self a corn-law repealer, , the Conser-, natives would instantly declare themselves to the same effect. Whatever measures he thought fit, in the' plenitude' and profundity of his • po-t litical wisdom, to• bring - forward, his sycophantic adherents would be sure to stamp with the seal of their approbation, no matter how absurd or ruinous it might be to the welfare of the community' Were he even to cashier Lord LYNDHURST, and make thC Devil the keeper of the QUEEN'S . COnSCIOICO, wi firmly believe that 'the ConservatiVes would hail the ,appointment as one of the most moral and virtuous that could possibly have been'made ! As it is not at all • likely, however, after his formal announcement at the commencement of the session, of his intention to make, just at present, no further alteration in the corn-law 4 that Sir ROAERT PEEL will support Mr. VILLIERe motion on that question; we may fairly presume that his obsequious party will exhibit equal determination ,to make no concession on this point, •so that nothing more will be obtained by the discussion Than an additional proof that the House of Commons represent the sense of the country to no greater extent than - did in the days of the boroughinongers. Mr. COBDE nett proceeded to' give an explanation of the reaso which induced him to give his late vote on the Spg , _ . . question ; and remarked - , in 'reference to 'the present aspect of affairs in Parliament:—" He was sorry tO say - that such was the opinion of political partie throughout the. country, '"that his belief - was that people cared very little for one party or the other, and that there was very little to - choose between ihem." There is but too ranch truth in this'obser vation. Both Whigs and Tories have long lost the confidence . of the country—the latter, hoWever, 'to ii much greater degree than the former—and what is k still more discouraging sign of the timei, is the daili increasing conviction among the people, that there ' scarcely a public man of any note whose consistent and disinterestedness may be relied on. For th general distrust we have, in a considerable tneasur4, to thank Sir Itontat PEEL, whose indifference tp principle and resolute adherence' to the expediency - system of 'government, which have infected a gretit 'majority of the House of•Commons,' have at lengli fully opened the eyes of the public, and •taught theM what they may expect—or rather what they may not expect--from their representatives in Parliamen. We have, however, one consolation. Things cannet continue much 'trier in their-present stide;for it is the nature of'an evil, when once it has attained la certain height, to generate its own remedy: I Lord MOTTEAGLE, on Thursday sennight, moved, in the House of . Lords, for the appointment of la ‘‘Select Committee on the Import . Duties, with t view of con4ldering the effect produced by protecti duties' do the foreign commerce, the home .industry, the revenue, and the general prOsperity of the British Empire." The speech of the Noble Lord, whigh occupied more than three, hours in its delivery, !mid obviously been prepared with extraordinary care mid reflection. It is lOng since we have perused any effort of this kind, which was more remarkable for its indtchtion of these qualities—so esseutial tothe impres sive effect of an address to the House of Peeos; - • replete with fiscal and cO minercial statistics, aiid devoted; in the Main,' to the distaSteful object Of pstablishing, against the legislation of the present acid of former GOvernments, a ease of signal iniseoneep- Itionus to the true interests of trade, and of deplora ble failure in the policy adopted in dealing with theini by British . Administrations, The speech was not less truly than emphatically characterised by the Earl 'of DAtaionkE, on whom devolved the task of rel:4l4g to it, as " a very able and admirable" one. ! Those of our readers who - would desire to avail themselves, of the rapid, but well-arranged and coin prehensiVe summary of the follies involved: in oiir long . fostered policy of protecting duties—their effects upon foreign commerce and their reaction upon our sebires.Ve 'epTestly - refer, to the report of Lord ;MONTEA4LE'S speech. If we were. to attempt any thinglike an abstract of ' its 'various and 'important details, Ave should' only do great injustice to a 'state-, . ment Which had'been already carefully - considered by • it,s - noble author. We 'Should bd most, sorry to' dete 'zriarate - the value and effect 'of so well digested; Se perspiduousi and so - eXceliently:reasoned an. eiposi, tion . of the grounds on Which his Lordship cal,led• tor the doinmittee in lquestion.

Should the 'result of such an inquirras he ' sOlicited'hei as undoubtedly' it . .would be, a present ,ostensible reduction of revenue, the incre as i n g pro d uct of the gm would enable the Go vernment to begin tine of reduction, without that danger whisk a more unfavourable condition of the public 'finances - might seem to.threaten. On the 'other hand, to . ,.put :these. duties on dbetter and correeter - footing would undoubtedly 'expand, to a point beyond 'belief, , tife i energies‘ and the, beneficial rOtnrps - of the con ~ move of ihnnnuntry. He witlied, to consider the hip* autietitis' bearing' paitiCiflarlY: c 4 'th e ,; it protection. Now, so far ficZni l ll;i) — tecling o u r he would take the liberty of showing that they held out the most delusive hopes, which were injurious to the interests, in particular, supposed to be protected; and, in general, to the interests of the whale commu nity. Then he explained what were the views on which a State ought to proceed in the management of its commercial and financial administration, namely, to obtain the largest amount of revenue for the public service which it required, and which should be taken in a manner the least burdensome to the public at large. National should be dealt with, as nearly as possible, in the same manner as private interests ; and, as to the latter, all individual action should be left free. With these notions, the well-known definition by Mr. RICARDO of the true principles of free trade, perfectly harmonised. Lord MONTEAGLE, with great clearness expounded the three classes of duties with which commercial legislation had to deal. The first, —a duty for the purposes of revenue—if rightly admi nistered, was one which every class ought to derive a a direct benefit from ; for it was meant to maintain the honour and establishments of the empire. The second one was called a countervailing duty :—" If it could be shown that any class in the community had burdens peculiar to themselves, it would be the greatest of all acts of injustice if the State were to allow articles similar to those produced by this over burdened class to be introduced into this country without payment of duty." He instanced the case of hops. A fair protection to the British grower, who paid it, demanded that French or Belgian hops should `not be 'admitted, except at a higher duty. But the third and most indefensible duty of all, was a "pro tecting duty," as it was, by a sort of solecism, called ; for, granted to one interest or class of our agricul tural or productive industry in particular, it was ne cessarily an oppressive or fraudulent duty, charged on other classes or interests to the same extent. But not unfrequently it operated to the serious prejudice of the very party in whose favour it had been created. The Noble Lord quoted very cogent and apposite extracts from two eminent fiscal authorities, the one a public servant of the United States—the other of this Go vernment : Mr. CALHOUN, of the United States, and Mr. DEACON HUME, who for thirty-eight years sate at the Board of Customs, and for eleven years at the Board of Trade, equally denounced them in two re markable passages, which the Noble Lord read at length. Having laid these large and solid foundations for his motion, the Noble Lord incidentally noticed the "sliding scale" of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S law as being obnoxio - ua to all the reproaches of inefficiency and ab surdity to which other protecting duties are so largely open. He also. contended that, with the exception of some seven or eight articles out of the 11,000 or 12,000 comprehended in • the new tariff, Ministers had not adhered, io settling that document, to their own prinriples of_ commercial policy, as avowed by them selves. Thus, the duty on cotton imported (raw ma terial), which was not to have been quite six per cwt.,,is kept up at eight, to say nothing of the larger indirect taxation on yarns and manufactured goods for export, into which this new material enters. He gave abundant credit, however, to the Government for the large advances they had made in the right course in reducing the duties on woollens and coffee. The examples of Spain and of France supplied him with powerful illustrations of the hand-in-hand march of smuggling with protective duties ; and he forcibly illustrated the hypocrisy and imbecility of the grounds- assigned by us for prohibiting all slave grown sugar by dales, ivilich seemed, to have been calculated on a 'forgetfulness, of the fact, that if we did not permit the importation of such sugars direct, we indirectly, but Most efficiently encouraged the further production of slave-grosin sugar ; as by admitting,lor example, the sugar of Brazil or Cuba, for re-exportatien,- and', 'emPloying it in our consign , Malta tO,St. P4o6biirgh. ' From the case of timber, he argued that the operation of protective duties'was to substitute an inferior ,article for a better ; and he condemned the. Ministerial policy of remitting, to so; large an , extent, the duties on colonial timber, as a vast but ineffective' sacrifice of revenue—not beneficial to any extent to the colonists themselves, and involv-' ing the gradual but fatal decay of our trade with Norway, Sweden, and the Baltic ports. We , room to pursue the subject further but wo must again remark that this speech was one of the ableatwhich the session has produced ; and we; ate dispOsed to, think that , it will not be without its' effect on the future commercial and colonial policy of Ministers. The discussions in the bureaux of the French Chamber of Deputies on the Education Bill, have excited much' interest at Paris, and leave little 'doubt that the ob noxious measure will either be materially altered, or rejected altogether. Most of the journals are opposed to it,' and it does not find even one supporter among the members of the Committee appointed by the Chamber to draw up the report. In the debate .which took place in the Committee on Monday, M. THIERS made a strong attack upon the Jesuits—in other words, the Church—defended the claims of the University, and announced his determination to op pose the. Bill in every legitimate way. Other Mem bers also spoke against the Jesuits. Possibly this result . may convince the clergy that they have disclosed their scheme prematurely, and . that they must make more - converts among the people, before they can contend against the State,: and also public opinion , throughout France, Qn this subject the Presse has the-following remarks The ultra-University spirit yesterday carried off a signal victory, in the nomina tion of the Commissioners on the Secondary Instruction Bill. The nine Commissioners are thus distributed—for' the liberty of instruction, more or less extended, - Messrs. DE TOCQUEVILLV, CARPE, and ODILON Manor; for the University monopoly, Messrs. ST. MARC GIRARD/N,'•DE REMUSAT, THIERS, QUINETTE, and DUP-IN. ; M. DE SALVANDY - attacked the Bill in general, without declaring to which side he leant. ' The question will, therefore, behold in the opposed camps the Left Centre, represented by Messrs. TRIERS and REMUSAT, and on the other the Left,. represented by Messrs. ODILON BARROT atld Toccruivmr. This result is equiva lent to an indefinite adjournment of the solution, of the 'question ; and we are firmly convinced would • have been altogether different had the clergy—corn prehending that all agitation on its part must inevit ably 'have the effect of raising up against it old dis trusts badly extinguished—abstained from interfering-. in the question by means of the daily press." The quarrel between the French bar and the Pre sident of the Courßoyale still continues. M. Szama will 'make no apology, and the barristers consequently refuse to plead, so that public business is en tirely at a stand, The subjoined account of what took place in the Court on Monday appears in Ga. lignanis Messenger of Tuesday : " Several conferences having taken place between the Pro cureur-General, M. Hebert, the Judges of the Cour Royale, 'and the Batonnier of the Order of Advocates, with the hope of bringing about a reconciliation between M. Seguier, the President, and the bar, of the difftweaces which we have no,. tired, there was great agitation yesterday morning at the Palais de Justice, and the first chamber. over which M. Se-, ,guier presides, was full of advocates in plain clothes, anxious learn the result of the - steps taken by their council. Messrs. Chaix d'Estange the Batonnier, Marie, Bethmont, and Lion 'vine, were the only Ministers' who appeared in their official - costume. • At half-vast nine the Court eat, and the President called the first cause, without taking any notice of what had passe d. O n this M. ,Peean, the avoue, moved that the hear ing might be postponed for a week, on account of the absencis of his advocate. This was done, with an announcement that if there were no pleadings on the part of the suitor, the law officers of the Crown would be heard. Two other .causes were called, and put off, in like manner, to be judged• on the .zeport of the counsellors of the Court. All the rest of the causes on the list were afterwards deferred for a week, and " the Court broke up." The Messager publishes two dispatches from the Duke iiikumALE, giving an explanation of the un fortunate affair of Biscara, and casts some blame oir the officer who hadcommand of the small garrison ; While the .National attributes the calamity entirely te. .the negligence or imprudence of the Duke himself* "Before accusing M. PETIGAUD," says that journal, "the Duke D'AUMALE should have begun by justify inihimself from the fault which he had previously committed, in allowing himself to be surprised in an attack'Which he neither knew how to foresee nor pre ventomd in which - a great number of our soldiers, were killed through the want of skill of their too : young general.

The Swift brings the mails from Rio de mien,, with dates to the 29th April, and from PernambuciSiotthe first fort night in May. The Brazilians do not aptltogr-tn the least to trouble themselve s concerning the treaty ivith 'this country, which expires in the course of the present - year, conceiving probably that with oar present scale of duties they are on the best side of the hedge if they allow it to lapse, and throw themselves open to the general trade of the world : not that our custom is a matter to be de spised, but that the terms upon which we give it render it of less moment, in comparison with that which might arise from the establishment of a livelier trade with other Powers of Europe. After haying so long received in-* different advices from Rio, our merchants are gratified at the improved tone of their letters by the last and present arrival, and which it is hoped may continue, as, upon the prosperity of the Brazilian traders themselves depends not only the extent of our intercourse, but, perhaps more than with many other countries, the punctuality of the remittances, since it must be admitted that on this ground, if not at present, at least, not many years since, there was great cause of complaint. The ship arrivals bring no late letters. The public securities have been firm again to-day, business being, however, rather slack.

Por- , tuguese Converted Stock has been at 46/ to 47: Mexican Bonds have been steady at 34j to /. The next West India mall will not bang any news from that quarter ; and, consequently, the Bonds will be left to mere local influences. The Spanish dividend, it is now 'confidently stated, will be . paid in due course, though not yet advertised, and it is apparently upon this presump-- tion that the purchases of the' stock have been made.

The late,eicessive drought, which continued foripwards 'of eleven weeks, has caused the most serious inkiry,to the hay crops throughout the county of Berks. Mr. Cantrell; au 6:K611BI-re farmer at Old Windsor, mowed eight acres r-of -grass land on Monday list, , and the Whole , produce ! i was carried off the ground at once in -a- cart, which, Wits not above three-parts loaded. Tha same quantity of land upon Mr. Cantrell's farm last year yielded: ,upwards of sixteen loads of bay. The grass land upon the farm of Mr. Stroud, at Clewer, will yield this' year, upon the average, not more than from two to three trusses of hay per a c r e ; and this, it is much feared, will be the general average throughout a great portion of the county of Berks. The Armers are naturally looking forward to a good second crop, should the weather prove favourable ; but upon many landathnlong-continued drought and snitrtclays have so completely injured the Mai.:and destroyed vegeta tion, that a very trifling improvement in that.lute• crops. is expected to be the result. Hay, within the last two months, has risen in price from 65 to 75 per cent. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND iiittibity 14) ptitton. " Who runs may read." :( rOXIIIGN. • OkAloriday, the King and Queen of the French, the Duchess of Orleans, with the Count of Paris and the Duchess of Nemours - , again visited the Exhibition of National In dustry. On this occasion the King examined with great ' attention the machinery and some of the most important products, and did not leave until between five and six o'clock, when the Royal party returned to Neuilly. The Marseillesjournals announce the arrival, on the 14th instant, at the Hotel d'Orient, in that city, of the new Governor-General of British India, Sir Henry Hardinge, with his son and his aide-de-camp. The Suffren-ship of tho line, on board of which was Rear- Admiral the Prince de Joinville, arrived from the islands of Ilyeres, at Toulon, on the 13th instant. The Archbishop of Bruges, according to the Brussels papers, ordered prayers for rain to be put up in all the churches last Sunday, and in the afternoon of that day a terrible hail-storm came on, which did much injury to pro perty. In sone of the fields the hail lay four inches deep. The Courrier Francais states that the Parisian merchants interested in the trade with Morocco, having applied for in formation on the subject to the Alinistry of Foreign Affairs, had been answered, that " th . ere was no probability of a war between France and Morocco, and that all would be arranged diplomatically. The Moniteur contains the official returns of the produce and consumption of domestic sugar, from which it appears that on the Ist of April last there were 325 manufactories in operation, or 59 less than in April, 1843. The Bulletin des Lois publishes a convention, concluded on the 9th of November, 1843, between France and the United States of America, for the mutual extradition of malefactors. The receipts of the Belgian railroads in 1843 for passen gers were, 5,482,259 f., and the carriage of goods 3,512,280 f., giving a total,of 8,994,539 f. The expenses of working them were 5,000,000 f., so that the profit has been 3,994,539 f. ; after deducting 3,594,539 f. for - the interest,. of the capital employed, which was 137,573,077 f., there remains a sum of 400,000 f. for dividend. Ina recent duel between'a professor of a military school. of the Netherlands and a lieutenant, the former was killed. The survivor his been tried before a court-martial, and sen tenced to five years' imprisonment.. The two seconds were, conderiined to thiee years of the same punishment. The Memorial de la Sambre records two calamities by ex-. plosions of gas in coal mines list week,' at Marchienne-au- Pont. By. one of, them, seven men were killed, and eighteea more or less injured. In the other, two persons were killed, and five others severely wounded. LAW AND POLICE.
