Free-trade has again been vindicated and Protec • tion crushed by a glorious majority of 119 this morning, in the Commons House of Parliament. Scarcely ever has any session opened under such bzilliant auspices as the one just inaugurated by the admirable Speech from the Throne, upon the merits of 'which we yesterday commented, and the first achievement of which has been so rapidly accom plished, and the accomplishment of which, moreover, has been one of so decisive a cllarticter. What the agricultural gentlemen will say to this overwhelming division, it is somewhat difficult to conjecture. Never was such arrant braggadocio so ignominiously ex posed. After all their-Au...pouring in the provinces, after ail their blustering vituperations against the Government, after all their sylvan rant and bucolic bombast, fraught v:ith sound " signifying nothing," they have sud , ',enly found themselves dwarfed to their own natural littleness and insignificance.% If we had I , :ad to calculate the results cf the then approachi•en g • struggle between the monopolists and the adyPocates of unrestricted commercc, guided only in our estimate by the predictions of the former, we shorArl certainly have expected nothing less than the irr4mediate reversal of the enactments of 1846, and the instant elevation of the leaders of the Country Party to the offices of adininistration. Wh:it, in fact, has been the sequel of the recent agitation throughout the agricultural districts ? What has followel directly upon the descent of these vociferous orators from the elevation of the platform to the floor of the House of res:zesentatives in Westminster ? Has Protection a larger or a smaller probability of restoration ? Is tke free-trade policy placed in a more durable or a more ricketty position P Hes Lord STANLEY a better chance than hitherto of attaining the rank of Prime Minister, or Mr. DrsnAELI a more reasonable pro bability of penetrating the political sanctuary of the Privy Council ? The record of the first forty-eight hours of this Parliamentary session will afford the necessary answers. The pages of Hansard will fur nish the multitude with the desired elucidation. It will then be recognized how completely the Friends of the Farmers, so called, counted 'without their host ; how egregiously they have been obfuscating their own judgments, at the very time when they intended only to delude those of their hearers. It has been the incident of the parturient mountain re-enacted. Large cry and little wool, is the adage most expressive of the recent fortunes of the Pro tectionists. Their elaborate preparations for the de. feat of Ministers has ended in the signal triumph of the cause with which those statesmen aro identified . Their thunder-like threats and protestations out of doors: has diminished in-doors to the " still small vclice" of petulance and irritation. They have emu lated the weaver, and " roared you as gently as any sucking dove." Even the Oratorical Ophicleide of Agricultural Monopoly has diminished in the 'louse to the veriest pen:ny trumpet. The magic of his rhetoric boa disappeared, the edge of his wit has been turned, the keermeaa of his sarcasm has been blunted beyond reparation. " Twenty more, kill 'em—twenty more, kill 'em—twenty more, kill 'em," is no longer the boast of the Protectionist Bobadils. At the appear ance of the first score of free-trade orators their souls have fainted within them, and at the merest prospect of a struggle the whole of that obsolete faction has expired from a mingled sentiment of terror and chagrin. The hearts of the English artisans, saved from ruin and privation, the hearts of the Scotch labour ers snatched from irretrievable destitution, the hearts of the Irish peasantry preserved from the impending horrors of famine have long since unconsciously and spontaneously chaunted the Te Deem of Free ..trade. At length the period has arrived when the - vast body of the people may raise their voice to another measure, and sing the Dirge of Protection. Turning to the debate in the Commons, the de bate of Thursday night, and that adjourned discus . - sion which only terminated at two o'clock A.M. this morning, it is impossible not to rcci:gnise at a glance ....;,he manifest disproportion cf the orators speaking in defence of the 'list and present commercial policy i f G rea t Britain. On the side o f the Free-traders ,10-e observed ranged, for example, such red ou bt a b' e :champions of the policy advent ure d upon by the iilus trious ex-Premier, the Right llun. Representative of Tamworth, as his noble successor in the management of the reins of Government, and the llon. Members - for - WaXiitt ptsp,. for Bradford, and for the West Ridif - iisf-Ydrirshire.. 4 more felicitous or re . eittiifil*Chailerke was : ver flung down to hisTa tibiVnii' 1:44:1a5-itr,.''C'o \ i‘. / happily declared last night 6 1 1 5 tai stitiniwial•c*--tthan the ono hurled against ; A 31 t9# l **.iiiiiia. : irotectionists by the Um Csr.irt r4iti,l4l' foremost of all the Free traders in Parliament. His speech, in proposing the answer to the Address from the Throne, must ever after this be ranked among the best vindications of the modern school cf political economy. It was as abounding in facts to the point as the speech oz Sir CHARLES WOOD was in figures to the purpose — and formed a glaring contrast to the agile evasions of argument which characterised the speech of the Hon. Gentleman the Eepresentative of Buckingham shire. During the course of the latter oration Mr. DISRAELI mentioned a humorous story about a corkscrew lost at a banquet given on one occasion by his Highness the LORD PROTECTOR — little imagining at the moment, possibly, that the thing most resembling that corkscrew was the very harangue in which it was commemorated. Of the remarks uttered by Mr. COBDEN, we can speak only in language of the highest eulogium and the com pletest admiration—expressing, as they did, so ad mirably the true feeling of the country in regard to these revived discussions upon Protection. The real gist of his observations was this :—For Heaven's sake, if the upholders of the system of monopoly entertain any notion that the House is prepared to reconsider its view of this matter, let the bold question be at once submitted to the consideration of Parliament ; if any expectation whatever is enter tained that the old policy is to be restored, let us show the agriculturists at once what are the real feel ings of the representative Legislators of England Apart from the acceptation of this challenge, super added to the challenge already made by the Hon. Gentleman the Member fur Wolverhampton; the di• vision last night of 311 over 192 is the best response to the demands of Mr. COBDEN, and the completest dissipation of all the fantastic and chimerical hopes of the Protectionists. It was greatly to be regretted that the short and pungent sentences with which the Honourable and Gallant Representative of Bradford wound up the debate could not be more distinctly heard in the reporters' gallery, seeing that even the fragmentary portions of it re corded in our columns are couched in a style so emi nently and strikingly characteristic. Little further opportunity will henceforth, however, be afforded the orators of Free-trade fur demonstrating the wisdom of that policy, or for Breaking down, with their sledge hammer facts, the brittle and flimsy filagree Of Pro. tectionist argument. The division of this morning, in short, must surely have afforded a sufficient testimony that the political adventurers in the Commons must find out some other " dodge" for acquiring popula rity, or for working out an ephemeral elevation, than the advocacy of a system as dead as feudality and as detestable as Cannibalism. Verily we live in strange times. Even among the Free-traders there exists a leaven of protection—not of protection according to the accepted terminology, but of a grotesque and distorted phantasm, which considerably bewilders our comprehension. We are so accustomed in the present day to witness unac countable incidents and marvellous transformations, that it takes no little matter to elicit from us any ex pressions of surprise, but on the occasion to which we are about presently to refer, we " confess the soft im peachment." Had another been added to the many motley banners which are wont, especially in the merry month of May, to flaunt in the arena of Exeter Hall, we should never have troubled our heads about the subject. Limitless flummery, and nonsense un controlled, are there the order of the day ; but that, in the heart of the City of London, in the year of grace ISSO, a body cf respectable and generally sensible men should constitute themselves a PIRATE PROTEC TION ASSOCIATION seems to US one of the most sin gular freaks of the existing epoch. Many, doubtless, of our readers have entertained, in the fresh and imaginative days of boyhood, an ad miration of those daring adventurers who scoured the Spanish main, revelling in the spoils of invincible valour, and striking dismay into the souls of wealthy merchants, plethoric burgesses, and the like. Such dashing heroes as MORGAN, the sacker of Panama, Captain KYD, or those fictitious freebooters, CL➢VE LAND, the RED ROVER, &c., have awakened within their bosoms the fire of emulation, and set the blood bounding through their veins at the thoughts of the swift and buoyant barque, the swarthy bravo crew, the sun, the sea, the sky of the tropics, the glittering spoil, the flash of gems, and the lustrous eye of captive beauty. But sober manhood clouds such fairy dreams ; and hence the sympathy of those middle-aged and peace professing gentlemen who congregated around Mr. Joseru STUnce, on the platform at the London Tavern, on Wednesday evening, for a bloody and barbarous gang cf sea-robbers, destitute of any of those false attractions for the romantically-minded which palliate a sigh to the memory of the bold buccaneers, smites us with unmitigated amazement. Nothing but a perverted imagination, or the crassest ignorance of the piratical prcccedings which have been of constant occurrence in the Malay waters, could influence persons of respected characters and talents to stand up in the face of the civilized world and seek to persuade their auditors that the gallant Raja of Sarawak has been guilty of a wanton massacre of the llyaks of Borneo, and that those commiserated gentry were a non-aggressive fraternity, butchered gratuitously and in cold blood. To him who seeks to stigmatize the salutary and smart chastisement so deservedly inflicted by a portion of her MAJESTY'S forces on these pestilent marauders as " branding its authors not only with cruelty but cowardice," we can only say that we envy him not the state of mind which could have induced him to fling upon his countrymen so foul and false an imputation. But the minds of certain Englishmen are, unhappily far themselves, afflicted with a monomaniac detestation of the armed defenders of England's security and England's glory. To enter upon any defence of the enterprising and chivalrous Raja BROOKE would be completely a work of supererogation. His character and conduct are too well known and appreciated in his native land to render necessary a word in his behalf. Indeed, a spirit of conscious weakness appeared to pervade these post prandial orators, if one may judge by the ready re course which some of them had to personalities. One of them let fly at those unchristian sneerers, the editors of the Times, " who did not seem to have faith in anything but butcher's bills." Another ac tually charged the gallant fellow, who, for his excel lent conduct on trying occasions in those troubled waters, had received, as the well-merited reward of his deserts, a purse from the Merchants, a piece of plate from the Country Captains, and a handsome gratuity from the Mutual Indemnity Association, with want of courage ! One Reverend Gentleman, indeed, who had formerly served as an officer in those very regions, seemed to join in the sweep ing charges preferred by his associates with a certain amount of misgiving. Things might, how ever, hare progressed with a satisfactory drowsiness to the perfect contentment of the sagacious meeting, had not a "Deus ex machine appeared upon the scene, and utterly damaged the smooth humbug of the proceeding. Honour to the straightforward enemies of tom foolery and cant on every occasion ! Honour to Captain AARON SMITH, who saluted his disconcerted hearers with a plain unvarnished statement of incon trovertible facts, which went farther to place in their true light the transactions so clumsily vilified, than could be possibly done by the most rhetorical address or laboured apology. Hi s statement was simple, brief, and crushing. He commenced by sayieg that he spoke from ocular demonstration, having navigated the China sea for thirty years, and was a living witness to the midnight gambols of these persecuted gondoliers Facts," said he, " are stubborn things ; I have been attacked at midnight by a crew of Malay pirates .;" whereupon we are informed that a sensation took place on the platform, and some confusion in th e meeting. All the beautiful frost-work of sentiment began to thaw away before the honest breath of this sturdy testimony. lie seems to have beenfavo , u , r ti,e ed by the attentions of the 0CE4,1 highwaymen, sea-attorne3 s," on more occasions than one, but spe cifi:d one instance in particular, when he found him self surrounded by twenty pralms, manned by a hundred men a-piece, and wkii.:h some dt:‘licate no menclator had stated to be " me:e baskets." Captain Salmi thereupon did what every man, note candidOte for Bedlam, nor deserving the cart's tail, would have done in a similar predicamen—the defended himself and h. good ship to the best of his ability—and after a thre e hours' engagement the cut-throats bad to sheer of:, leaving about a hundred of their ruffianly crew hors de combat. These playful innocents have likewise a happy knack of using poisoned spew, which, to a fastidiously humane antagonist, might prove that a ' scratch is as good as a stab. " If," said our captain in conclusion, " you can civilize these pirates, do it." Now we should be very sorry to see any members of this meeting, of whose infatuation on this subject we speak more in sorrow than in anger, go out to Borneo to be first pricked with poisoned spears, and after wards boiled seeundem morem. The fact of the matter was, they found a mare's nest, and were ex ceedingly rejoiced thereat; but the weather beaten seafarer, not relishing such pheno mena, demolished it unceremoniously, and scattered its fragments to the winds. Well might a lugubrious voice exclaim "He is smashing the meeting !" It is sheer stuff to try and make us believe at home that English seamen, even under the influence of an equi noctial sun, are given to deeds of wanton massacre. They discharged their bounden duty cif the coast of Borneo, as they have ever and everywhere done when needed, and from which we trust they will never be induced to swerve. They crushed a nest of sea vermin, who were long the pest and terror of the commerce of those seas; and of the legitimate nature of the process, however we may deplore the stern necessity of shedding human blood, we entertain not the slightest misgiving, certified as it is, moreover, by the unanimous declaration of unimpeachable wit nesses de vieineto, an honourable and peaceful body cf industrious men, the British merchants of Singa pore. Those who would try to affix the stain cf unjust cruelty on "Jack Tar," must labour under a woful misconception of his real character. Captain AARON SMITH spoke out like a brave and honest man, who felt himself on sure ground, and was not to be daunted into silence, nor disconcerted into ill temper. We feel proud of such a specimen of our mercantile marine ; and as to that gallant spirit, whom his country and his age should delight to honour, the Governor of Sarawak, we shall be bitterly disappointed if, should need be, Government will not satisfactorily justify, instead of finding themselves "compelled to disavow the conduct of Raja BROOKE." On one point, and one only, we agree with the pro moters of the meeting, namely, that the existing system of granting head- money ought to be abo lished, not cut of any maudlin sympathy with pirates, but because we are unwilling that any detractors of our stouthearted sailors should have it in their power to insinuate that the British blue jacket ever drew his cutlass for the price of blood. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The report of M. PISCATORY, on the Bill presented by the Government for increasing the pay of the non commissioned officers of the army, recommends that the increased pay shall not be given to all non-com missioned officers, but only to those who, having served seven years, shall consent to continue their service. In such case, non-commissioned officers shall receive an increase of 5 sous a day; corporals, 12c. ; and private soldiers, 10c. The Opinion Publique having asked, "Is it true that M. De GriaARDIN is desirous of obtaining the post of Minister, directing and centralizing ?" M. DE GIRARDIN answers, in the Presse, that it is true that he not only cherishes that ambition, but has been long preparing himself to occupy the post in question— that he has been occupied for some time past in pre paring his programme, and that if he were named Minister to-night, that programme would appear in the illoniteur to-morrow. The French Government has received a telegraphic dispatch, announcing the blockade of the Pixrcus by the British squadron. It is said that a reconciliation h on the point of taking place between the PRESIDENT and the majority. The National, alluding to the new loan to the Pope, says : . . . . . We consider we may state positively that the treaty on this subject was signed at Paris on the 27th inst., and immediately sent off t Portici, where the Pore will see whether be can resolve to place the Pontifical seal by the side cf the signature of M. de Rothschild. We do not imagine he will refuse. The loan is for 40,000,000 f. M. de Rothschild hart not subscribed for it directly; he takes it on commission at the rate of 78f. If ho places it at 80, he will be allowed a commission of 2 per cent.; if at 82, 2i per cent.; if et 84, 3 ler cent., and so on in proportion. This is a notice to those who may be anxious to subscribe. Moreover, they will enter into a very hazardous affair, and will perhaps allow us to enlighten the - m a little on the subject. For the last thirty-five years, and doubtless in consequence of the profound contempt which the Roman clergy profess for the riches a this world, the finances of the !Oman State have been the most tottering of any in Europe—absence of all control, systenntic and unpunished waste, and dilapidations consecrated and in a manner rewarded—:his is what has been shown to exist in the financial reyina of the Popes by M. d'Az glio, the presort chief of the Piedmon tese Cabinet, in his book on the everts cf Romagna. Before the revolution of 1848 the public debt of the Pon tifical States was 230,000,000 f. (interest at five per cent.) In adding to it the 40,000,000 e. now demanded, and about 40,000,000 f. of paper money, 23,000.000 f. of which being of Papal origin cannot under any pretext be annulled, and of which only 17,000,000 f. mai ated from the Republican Government, have been in part cancelled, we have a total debt of 210,000,000 f. Such are the charges. The resources easy be easily enume rated. The revenues of the Roman S:ates furnish an nually from 35,000,C00f. to 38,000,000 r. The ex penses alwas s exceed 55,000,000 f. It is easy, therefore, to calculate the result. There is also church property valued in a mass at 250,000,000 f. ; but, if this is touched, what be ccmes c f the convents, the churches, public worship, &e a the material existence of which is founded on this pro perty? This resource, which would be excellent in a secular state, is cf no avail in the hands of the priest prince. Let him only just think c f laying his hand on ,t, and it will be seen whether he would cc me well out of the attempt." The Conditutionnel tays— " It is states that the departure of Cardinal Dupont is fixed for to-day. He proceeds direct to Portici, where he is to fulfil a non-official mission to the Pope, with which he is charged by the French Government. A person who is related to Pius IX., and who has lately made the journey from Paris to Rome and to Portici, has been attached to the mission. Much reliance is placed on the intervention of the Cardinal to facilitate the solution of the Roman question." The Ordre says— " We have already spoken, with all the reserve be fitting such an important subject, elan ultimatum which had been, or was to be, presented to Switzerland on the subject of the refugees, whose demagogical pro ceedings caused uneasiness to the neighbouring State?. From more recent information which has reached us, we find that no officiel communication has yet be en made to the Federal Government. Prussia and Austria, behind whom appears to be Russia, have thought it their duty to previously consult France on the subject, in order to ascertain what her conduct would be in case the two great German Powers should, after unavailing representations, bo compelled to interfere. It appears that the same question Las not been put to England, whose interest is less pressing and less direct in the matter than that cf the nations whose frontiers join Switzerland. On this account Piedmont was to be consulted, and we are informed tLat that has been done, and that she has manifested her intention to co-operate in any measures of repression which the provocations of the demagogical party may rentier necessary." The Semaphore de Marseilles, of the 28th ult., quotes the following letter, dated Bona, the 22d : " The column of troops, operating in the Auzee, catered the valley cf the Oued-Abdy, which is remarkable for its fertility and high state of cultivaion. It is covered with numerous vil lages, built like . those of France. The prin cipal towns are Nenna, and Nara. The latter re fused to surrender. It was, as it were, suspended on the summit of an immense mountain ; and tar more con siderable than Zeatcha. Oa the sth the assault was given. In less than four hours oux troops occupied its streets and terraces, and at night it was reduced to ashes. Its defenders evinced the same courage as those of Zsatcha, and the women fought with more obstinacy and fury; some of the men fled, but they died with arms in their hands. They are the descendants of the women of Cal thage. On the 7th the column was still under the walls of Nara." PARIS BOURSE, FEB.

The Cologne Gazette, of the 30th ult., publishes the:following from Berlin:— " In its sitting last night the First Chamber adopted, by a large majority, all the resolutions of the Second Chamber on the proposition of the Royal Message, one after the other. M. Von Arnim expressed his doubt whether the Crown would take the oath, iu consequence of the: e resolutions; and the Minister, Von Manteuffel, reverted to the promise made 0 the Central Commission, in case the First Chamber should adopt the resolution of the Second." The Prussian Staats Anzeiger announces that, after the Ist of February, the telegraphic line Le tween lierlin and Aix-la-Chapelle will he opened to the public. It is now stated very decidedly from Kiel, that the proposed negotiation of Schleswig-Holstein with Den mark may be considered as abandoned. IIOLLAN1).

PARKER'S fleet is confirmed. It ap pears that on the 18th Mr. WYSE, our Ambassador, sent in a demand that certain claims of the English sub• jects or proteges on the Greek Government should be paid within twenty-fuur hours, or in the event of re fusal we should proceed to hostilities. On the day following (19th) no answer having been given, Mr. WYSE was preparing:to go on board the flag-ship with all his employes, leaving Mr. GREEN, the consul, to represent the commercial interests on shore. At the time the last accounts left Athens it was said that Mr. WYSE had agreed to accept the media tion of the French and Russian Ministers. The French fleet, it is said, has been ordered to the Piraeus. The following are the claims made by the British Minister : " Is ,- . Indemnity for Monsieur Pacifico, ex-Portu guese consul, whose house at Athens was sacked in 1546, during the Holy Week, "21. Indemnity for an English ship, thrown by a tempst on the ccast of Magte, and by the in habitants of the place. " 30. Satisfaction for the insult offered to the British flag at Patras, in the Meriditi affair. " 4th. Satisfaction for violence offered to an lonian subject in the same city. sth. Indemnity fot the English travellers, plundert.d last year by the bligands. " 6th. The immediate restitution cf the islands of Sapienza on the coast of the Peloponesus, of which Eng land claims possession, its appertaining by right to the lonian States." The amount of the claim on behalf of M. PACIFICO is hid at 800,000 drachm), and that of the pillaged merchant vessel at 47,000. TUNIS. We have been favoured with the following extract of a letter from Tunis, dated the 18th ult. :—" The cholera has been making great ravages in Tunis. The Hebrew population are the greatest suf ferer?, proceeding, it is supposed, from their association, or from their mode of living. From the 4th to the 18th the number of deaths among the Israelites has been daily from 20 to 25. Tne Bey, deeply impressed with the mis fortune which has so seriously attacked this class of his subjects, has distributed amono. them 400 camel-loads of wheat, 300 goat sk i lls tilled with fine oil, and 10,000 piastres in money. He has also established, from his private purse, three cholera hospitals, dividing the Maho metan, Catholic, and Jewish religions. The Ca tholic and Hebrew merchants have made a collection among themselves, which, in the short space of three days, produced 18,000 piastres.

A letter from Rome of the 19th contradicts the news of the departure of General Cordova from Rome, and adds that the remaining Spanish troops are not to embark for their country. Mopes were entertained, according to this account, that a Catholic army would soon be organized for the security of the Pon tifical States, and thus allow the Supreme Pontiff to return to his capital.

(Sittings at Nisi Prius at WestniinSter before the LORD CHIEF BAnoN and a Conn - ion Jury.) DE MINORSKI F. GLASS. This was an undefended action, brought by the plaintiff, a Pole, resident in London, to recover •compensation in da mages from the defendant for having given him into custody on a false charge of forgery. The plaintitl; it appeared, put a distress upon the furniture and goods of the defendant, who was a lodger in his house, for arrears cf rent, and the charge made against him was simply for having signed the name of Bennet to the warrant upon which the distress was made in stead of his real name, Do Mikorski, the reason fJr his as suming the cognomen of Bennet being, it was stated, to avoid the discovery or detection of some Russian spies who were supposed to be in London, • but on the plaintiff being taken to the station-house the inspector on duty refused to enter the charge, and he was consequently discharged. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for 101. AIISERGATE, NOTTINGHAM, BOSTON, AND EASTERN JUNCTION RAILWAY V. CO U LTHA RD. This action was to recover 471. 10s., with interest, for three calls and one instalment, in respect of twenty shares which were held by the defendant in this railway company. A verdict was found for the plaintiff for the lull amount, liberty being given to move to reduce the damages by the amount of the instalment, which it was contended could not, under the company's Act, be rteovered. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prius at Westminster, More Lord Chiel Justice WILDE, and a Common Jury.) - 110X/FERMAN V. BELL. This was an action to recover damages for the false impri sonment of the plaintiff by the defendant. Mr. Prentice was counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. Ser geant Wilkins represented the defendant. The plaintiff is a porter in Covent-garden Market, living at 3, Vere-street, Covent -garden, and the defendant is a fruiterer in the same market, and living at 26, James-street, Covent-garden. It appeared that on the 30th of August lsat, the plaintiff was taken to the Bow-street policestation, and given in custody there by Richard Moore, the beadle of Covent-garden Market and the defendant, on a charge of stealing 112 lbs. weight of potatoes in Southampton-street, the property of the defendant. After having been confined at the police-station for about a quarter of an hour, the plaintiff was taken before Mr. Hall, the police magistrate at Bow street, by whom he was acquitted of the charge which the defendant kad attempted to establish against him. It was under these circumstances that the plaintiff now brought his action for false imprisonment. Witnesses were called on behalf of the defendant. From the evidence of a man named Joseph Williams, who was employed by some of the greengrocers in Covent-gar den Market, to watch their carts, it appeared he had seen two sieves of potatoes; that he had inquired of several parties in the market to know to whom they belonged, but could not ascertain that they,belonged to any enc... The plaintiff subsequently shot the two sieves of potatoes into a basket, which the witness Williams helped him to put on his head, and he took them away. When the plaintiff was given into custody, lie denied that it was on the 25th of August, that he had shot the two sieves of potatoes into his basket, but subsequently admitted the fact. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff on the first issue, which was whether or not the defendant gave the plaintiff into custody;- and for the defendant on the second and third issues, which were whether or not the plaintiff stole the two sieves of potatoes, and whether or not the defendant had reasonable cause to suspect him of the felony. This was substantially a verdict for the defendant. THE QUEEN'S SPEECH. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—A copy of 7/se Sun newspaper, containing her Majesty's Speech, was received here this evening at six o'clock; it was immediately read in one of the largest rooms in the town, and gave the greatest pleasure and satihfsction to all present.—Your obedient fervour, Portsmouth, Thursday evening. WM. GRAY. ARRIVAL OF THE QUIEN'S SPEECH IN DERBY.— We obtained an early copy of the Queen's Speech by electric telegraph, but owing to the hurry necessarily attendant on the translation, several awkward errors occurred, especially one in the last paragraph. In the telegraphic dispatch the word " wan ton" convulsions appeared for " wars and convul sions;" and in one passage " Ergland" was miswritten for " Ireland." We were, however, enabled by the kindness of Murdo Young, Esq., to correct these and other errors before many hundred copies were struck off. An express edition of The San arrived at our office in the evening, and we beg to tender our thanks to the spirited proprietor of The Sun for his proverbial courtesy, energy, and zeal. A party of sixty Frec-traders were dining at the Royal Hotel in celebration of Free trade—a noble baron of beef having been provided for the occasion—when the Speech arrived. We lost no limo in conveying a copy to the dining-room, where the Speech was read. The passages in reference to free trade, the repeal of tire navigation-laws, and the concluding sen'ences were vo ciferously cheered, especially the former. " The Proprietors and Editor of the herby Reporter" having been drunk, " Murdo Young, Esq., arid the Free Press of Great Britain" was drunk with all the honours. —Derbll Reporter.

F.I.I.RINER, BART.—We have to ar.nounce the demise of the above baronet, which took place on Thursday. Sir Riggs Fa!kiner succeeded his f.ther, the second baronet, in 1825, ald was in his 62d ear. The late baronet was unmarried, and the ba ronetcy and fsmily est rtes descend to his brother, Cap- I ain Charles Leslie Falkiner, R.N. The present baronet is well known in the national n aval records for his dis tinguished gallantry at the memorable engagement be tween the Shannon and Chesapeake, in 1813, when the gallant officer was a lioutn ant on board the British frigate. We regret to learn that Lady Morgan lies dan gerously ill at her house in William-street, Albert-gate. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, yesterday, were about 8,000 bales of which 3,000 were taken en speculation. The market' closed firmly.—Railway Shares were dull , and prices tending downwards. The weekly statement of the Bank of England to the 26th inst. is only worth particular comment in respect to the Note Circulation, which is higher, althcugh the advances upon other securities were diminished. The further with drawal of deposits will account for the extension of issues. The bullion decreased but slightly. Compated with the previous week, the results are as follows : Notes Issued . Decrease . ... £30,060,500 ... 3,165 ... 3,229,097 .. 5,492 ... 64,990,42 ... 1C0,719 ... 10,805,883 ... 264,811 ... 1,171,320 9,229 Increase ... Public Deposits ... Decrease ... Other Deposits ...

The rates of the Foreign Exchanges were a shade lower yesterday afternoon on Antwerp and Paris, but rather higher on Trieste and Hamburgh, and without alteration on Frank fort and Amsterdam. The following report upon the state of trade in the manu facturing districts, sent horn Manchester by Messrs. M'Nair, Greenhow, and Irving, is both interesting and encouraging:— " The demand during the month has been very general, and has extended both to the home and export trade. Con siderable purchases both in cloth and twist have been made on speculation. Stocks of every description, as you will have observed, are now very light, and many of the pro ducers are under contract for some time. It is this which so far not only renders prices very firm, but in many in stances nominal. At existing rates, and with expiring con tracts, the extreme prices cannot be maintained, unless to • reign markets so improve as to afford corresponding ones. It is said that with regard to the country trade, the advance cannot materially interfere with the price of a garment or a piece of shirting. We think rather differently, for though the consumer may not be able to estimate the difference in price, yet in first hands the advance now necessary will in terfere with purchases. Both at home and abroad, though prices do not rule so high as they , have done in former years, yet, the fact of the low prices, as in IS4B, will not so soon be ft rgotten. That period will be referred to and remembered until a permanently higher range of prices at home and abroad shall have induced practical forgetfulness. We find upon reference that since October, 1848, an advance equal to the following per centage has been matured ; for in stance :—Upon 7-8 and 9-3 Printing Cloths from 35 to 50 per cent. ; 9-8 Maddapolans 15 to 52 ; 36 and 40-inch Shirtings up to 72; Reed 20 to 40; Tangibs 25 to 40; India jaconets 30 to 50; low and inferior qualities of Domestics 15 to 45; medium and best ditto 5 to 20; 'F and Long Cloths 10 to 25; Water Twist 40 to 50 ; Mule Twist G's and 60's 45 to 50 ; Ditto 70's and 100's 16 to 35, advances which speak for themselves. During the last week little or no new business has been done. The market is very inactive, and buyers for export, unless for actual wants, prudently refrain from ope rating. Our immense production requires a corresponding outlet; an object in our opinion which the present prices are not likely to aid in effecting." We have been furnished with further particulars bearing upon the present position of the Mexican debt, and first we must notice a letter from the committee of Spanish American bondholders, which until lately administered the affairs of the Mexican bondholders, and in which they state very na turally that the money remitted and already in the Bank of England was entrusted to them, and that they ninst call a public meeting to explain their proceedings. It matters little, as long as the amount is ,duly handed over when the time arrives, that a full dividend can be paid; and as to the promised account of Mr. Robertson's proceedings, it ought to have been given periodically, as he communicated them,fre quently during a period of fourteen mouths. The old com mittee is quite entitled to explain, but any mere personality will certainly not be countenanced, if intended, as rumour asserts, though we hope untruly. That there is every pro spect of the new committee working harmoniously with the Mexican authorities the following letter will attest : • " 32, Great Winchester-street, Jan. 30, 1850. " Sir,-1 have the hocour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of yesterday's date, in which you are pleased to inform me that by virtue of the resolutions adopted at the general meeting of bondholders on the •s 3d inst., and of which you enclose me a copy, a new committee had been formed composed of the gentlemen elected, and whose names appear in the 4th resolution, and that the said committee had nominated you as their chairman, Mr. Francis Mills, deputy chairman, and Messrs Thornton, Rhodes, and Guedells, as sub-committee of finance, to confer with me on various important points connected with my mission, and for the interests of the bondholders. _ _ "You are also pleased to inform me that the committee at their first meeting had unanimously resolved to request you to pay me a visit,--and to assure me of the cordial co operation of the said committee in all matters connected with the agency, and that is consequence you intend to call on me at two o'clock. "It will give me much pleasure to be ready at that hour to receive you, and in the meantime I hasten to request you will communicate to the committee that I recognise them as the representatives of the bondholders legally appointed by that body, and I flatter myself that the most entire harmony will subsist bet Ween the said committee and the agency. "I have the honour to be, (Signed) "F. Liao. "`V. C. Parish Robertson, Esq., Chairman of the Committee of Mexican Bondholders." The Committee of Spanish American Bondholders having recently applied to Senor Osma, the Minister from Peru, on the subject of certain bonds sent in for conversion, which (for reasons given to the holders at the time) were rejected, have received from that gentleman an assurance that he had some months since informed the Peruvian GoVernment of the cir cumstances connected with these bonds, and that he has not yet received the final determination of his Government on the matter. Senor Oma adds that he will acquaint the com mittee as soon as that decision shall be made known to him.
