TriE WEEKLY CHRONICLE, during the ENSUING SESSION of PARLIAMENT, will spare neither exertion nor expense to sustain and extend the character it has hitherto obtained of furnishing to its readers, and with the greatest minuteness of detail, the EARLIEST and MOST EXCLUSIVE INTELLIGENCE of POLITICAL and PUBLIC MOVEMENTS, • from its own PECULIAR SOURCES of INFORMATION. The many interesting questions which must shortly occupy the attention of Parliament—as Free Trade, Ireland, tha Church, Taxa tion, Tariff Retbrm, with many others, give great interest, by antici pation, to the doings of the coining Session ; and the importance of a Journal which has proved, not only its intimate acquaintance with the policy of its own friends •but wits the intentions of the Govern ment, whose movements it has repeatedly announced in anticipation of the official organs, must be self-evident to all. In other respects, while the " Weekly Chronicle" is of larger size than any one of its Contemporaries, it will be found to be the best Family Newspaper extant, as it contains more carefully selected reading, as well in Genera Literature, Fashion, Science, and the Drama, as in News, Politics, and Miscellaneous Intelligence, than any other Weekly Journal.

Both Houses of Parliament met yesterday t morn ing,address. and pr oce eded to the Palace with h The Lords adjourned to Monday, but the Commons re -assembled at Half-past Four o'clock. The SPEAKER read the reply to the address ; after which, various petitions were presented, and notices of motions given. Among the last was one by Sir J. GRAIIAM, announcing his intention of bringing in a Bill to amend the law of settlement on Tuesday. Sir R. PEEL, although closely pressed by some of the Opposition Members, refused to give any idea of the outline of the measure which he intended to in troduce on the subject of the Scotch and Irish systems of banking. Sir G. Garr asked for the production of the cor respondence with the French Government on the subject of Otaheite. Sir R. PEEL consented to lay before the House the results of the correspondence, but refused to produce the correspondence itself in extenso. Sir J. GRAHAM announced that it was not his in tention to introduce any measure for the regulation of the Ecclesiastical Courts. Sir B. PEEL stated that the Governments of Eng land, France, and Brazil were mediating between the Governments of Buenos Ayres and Monte Video, with a view to bring about a cessation of hostilities be tween those two Powers. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in answer to Lord CLEMEiTS, explained the grounds on which an-1016sed'ailirmace was made to the Judges of , L 8 SOMERSET then moved for leave us for the consolidation of the laws 6p, - and said in reference to the ob govvicK on the preceding evening, 1' -- - Ittijerin - lreland• Lord_GuANVILL to bring in eix Bil rel4ting to railva3 t,ervatinns of Lord THE StN, LONDON, PRIDAY-31ORNING, FEBRUARY 7, 1545. PRIEST, Minister Plenipotentiary . at Copenhagen, has also been dismissed on account of his vote. These wretched acts of violence were regarded by all as the infallible symptoms of the last moments of the ex piring Ministry. It agitates itself in its impotence ; it attaches its hopes to expedients which are precipi tating its end ; no violent means appear to it to he proper to be neglected ; it feels itself dying. Its terrors and agonies are proved by its convulsive movements. The Chamber has judged it ;it sees clearly that it cannot escape it s sentence. It is Le dernier jour d'un condamnii:" The Ministerial Globe of Tuesday, however, places the question in a fairer light :—" M. LIIERBETTE yesterday," it says, " made a sort of demi-proposition relative to the dismisal of M. DROUIN DE LUBYS. In plane of formally demanding an explanation, which the Cabinet declared it was ready to give, he inti mated that he should return to the subject when the Bill relative to public functions was brought in. As this Bill is to be discussed to-morrow, M. LIIERBETTE will not have long to wait. Unfortunately, M. LIIERIATTE NN ill not have much to say to-morrow, unless it be that the dismissal of M. DROUIN DE LIIUYS has been too long delayed. It was, in fact, no slight scandal to behold a man attached officially to the service of a policy and an administration which he denied publicly, and which, consequently, he served ill. When the will does not go on the same side as duty, it is impossible for a functionary to properly perform his duty. In such a case, common delicacy obliges a man to quit his post. And let it not be said that a Deputy is inviolable in his convictions. Without doubt the conviction of a Deputy ought always to be respected ; but a Deputy who accepts public functions ought to accept the obligations which he contracts. The first of these is to devote himself sincerely to the service confided to him ; but how can one devote one's self to a work which one disapproves of, fights against, and endeavours to trammel ? In accepting public functions, a Deputy knows perfectly well that he will have to exercise them under various and successive Ministries. A change of policy is not, therefore, for him a matter unforeseen; he ought to expect such changes; and, if one of these systems of policy ap pears to him to be contrary to his principles, his conscientious duty orders him either to keep his opi • - pions and retire, or to sacrifice his opinions to the place which he holds and remain. No casuistry_ will enable a man to get out of this dilemma. The Journal des Debats contains the following reply to the animadversions of the Opposition press on the appointment of M. DE SALVANDY " The appointment of the Count de Salvandy to be Minister of Public Instruction has surprised and annoyed the Opposition, insomuch that its journals have not been able to suppress their spite. We can easily account for this spite, and as easily conceive that the coalition can not see without dissatisfaction that the Cabinet should be thinking of its completing itself, and of rendering its existence more stable, when it was believed to be on the verge of falling. The adhesion of a man of so much im portance as the Count de Salvandy is a happy event for the Cabinet, and that the coalition should comprehend and be vex:,.d at this is most natural. But what we can less imagine is the surprise of the coalition. Does it not seem to indi cate that it had acquired rights over M. de Salvandy ? Does it not seem to say that he had entered into a com pact with M. Thiers and M. Billault ? No ! M. de Salvandy has never given any right to the coalition to rely upon him ; he never has entered into any engage • ment with it. We will say more : M. de Salvandy has never tampered with any coalition, an honour, by the way, in these times, too uncommon. This is a homage which we. more than nay one else, have the right of rendering to the firmness of his convictions and the noble . probity of his character. The coalition well knows that M. de Salvandy has kept himself completely aloof from all its mauosuvres. It cannot be ignorant that, fn the debates on the Address, he voted against all the amendments, and associated himself without reserve or hesitation with the policy of the Cabinet. Since the discussion of the Address, he has taken the most open and active part in rallying and re organizing the Conser vative party. A conduct so loyal and patriotic gives un doubtedly no claims to the good graces of the coalition, and we can easily conceive its chagrin." The Railroad Police Bill passed the Chamber of Deputies on Monday. In the course of the sitting M. LIIERBETTE alluded to the late dismissal of M. DROUIN DE Laura, which he declared to be a violent attack on the independence of the Deputies. M. GUIZOT, in reply, stated that he was ready to give explanations on the subject whenever the Chamber might deem it proper to demand them. The discus sion was, by common consen., postponed to the period when the Secret Service Money Bill is under delibe- ration. Galignant s Messenger contains the following re marks relative to the affairs of Monte Video : " The Cowriatioitne/ has a long arti2le on the affair of Monte Vit:eo, in which it attacks M. Guizot with much severity for having so long tolerated the infamous cruelties of Rosas towarJs French subjects, and suffered 'the interests of French commerce to be compromised. From some of the remarks on this article we may regard it as the preliminary of a I mai notice of the subject in the' Chamber by M. Thiers, who has probably strengthened his case by some new and important facts which have reached him through an authentic channel. The Consflutionnel seems to think that M. Guizot has in this affair been guilty \S the most culpable apathy, and observes that a sing:e word from him would have put an end to the attack upon Monte Video, and de livered that place for ever from the persecutions of its enemy. On this occasion, however, and the circumstance is really a novelty, no attempt is made to impute the conduct of M. Guizot to any fear of offending England. On the contrary, it would appear from the general bear ing of the article of the Consrt funnel, that M. Guizot has ratht r resisted than complied with the w'shes of the Government on this question. We have reason to believe, however, that some unlerstanding has been come to between the Earl of Aberdeen and I. Guizot, and it is not improbable that the visit recently paid to the French Mini:ter of Foreign Affairs by General O'Brien, who • aine to Europe for the purpose of repre senting in their true light the atri.city of Itosas, and the necessity of again placing the Banda Oriental under the protection of some of the great Pt.wers, may have ad vsncedthe arrangements which had alrea ly b!en come to between the French and Eng li s h Governments." The Revue de Paris states that letters were received on Monday by the Government from Captain BauAT, Governor of Otaheite, in which he states that he had adopted measures for operating without any unplea sant complication, the transition from " absolute pos session" to the "protectorate." That journal adds:— " We have not heard if M. BRUAT mentions having completely succeeded in the accomplishment of hia moderate and pacific intentions ; but we apprehend that such has not been the case, for a report prevails that fresh scenes of revolt and collision occurred at Otaheite after the receipt of the dispatches en joining the immediate restoration of Queen POMARE."

In the produce markets to-day there is a remarkable fea ture- to notice, a declaration of very nearly 13.000 bags of Mauritius sugar, and which under all circumstances has gone off much better than was anticipated, the more especially as many alterations are looked for in the tariff. In several quarters doubts were entertained whether Sir Robert Peel really intended to bring forward the whole of the Budget on the 14th instant, but the declaration last night in Parliament has set this question entirely at rest. An anxiety, great in de-ed;•is exhibited to learn what the alterations are to be. The holders of British Plantation Sugars, as well as of Mau ritius, are pressing sales, under the expectation that there will be a liberal alteration of the duties upon foreign free labour produce. There has not been any late arrival announced from tLe BritiSh colonies to-day.. There has been a. heavy market for the Three per Cent. Coasols to-day. Sales.have been made for immediate trans fer at 99%, and for the Account at 991, being a fall of % to 54 per cent. on the highest value paid yesterday. Bank Stock has receded from 215 to 213%. The Reduced Three per Cents. have fluctuated from 99% to 100, and the New Three-and a-QUarter per Cents. from 103% to 54. India Stock is 2 .per 1 coif. lower than it was yesterday, namely, at 282. Exchequer-bills are at 60s. to 625. premium. In the Foreign Funds not a great deal of business has been transacted this morning. Austrian Bonds have been done at 115 ; Chilian at 101 ; Mexican at 361 ; Portuguese at 86 ; Russian at 119%.

The match was to run four miles for 201.; and the ground selected was from the Angel pulilic-house, at Kingston, to the Marquis of Granby, at Ditton Marsh. The day was most unpropitious, the ground being very heavy from the breaking up of the frost arid the rain. ' Th e men came to the starting post ap parently in excellent health ; and, upon a signal being given, they'went away at a slashing pace, keeping well together to t eat exertion, contrived the second mile, when Batter), by g to head his opponert a short distance. Mills, however, soon gained upon him, and it was evident that the condition of Batten could not stand the pace. When about half a mile from home, Mills shot ahead, and kept in that phsition to the end of the race, ac'comoli6hing the four miles in a few seconds over twenty-two minutes. THE BUCKINGHAMSHIRE LACE TRADE. —During her Majesty's recent visit to the Duke of Buckingham, Mr. Viccars, of Padhury, had the honour of submitting specimens of. Buckinghamshire pillow lace for her Majesty's inspection, from which her Majesty was graciously pleased to select several pieces. that he could see no objection to fourteen days being allowed, after the reports of the Board of Trade had been made, for parties to determine whether they would proceed with the Bills or not. Lord HowicK did not think fourteen days suffi cient, and he also thought that where there were two competing lines reported, both reports ought to be submitted to a committee, and those which bad been unfavourably reported should have precedence of the S oth kers. After a few words from Mr. Hopcsozi an.! Sir G GREY, Sir R. PEEL explained that the proposal he should make was, that parties might present their peti tions whenever they pleased, but they should not be obliged to do so until fourteen days after the making the report. It was the intention of the Board of Trade to present the reports in classes, and next week he would propose to take the Kentish lines. It was never contemplated that the board should fetter ;he control of Parliament. Colonel SUITUORP asked whet her an y of the gen- Jemen composing the Commission were connected with railways. Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET was unable to answer the question. Mr. `VARLET complained of the delays caused by the conduct of barristers before Committees, and urged on the Government the necessity of providing some remedy. He a!so suggested the propriety of the discussion before the Board of Trade being con- ducted with open doors. Mr. W. E. GLADSTONE defended the conduct of the Board of Trade, and contended that practically the experiment had worked well. After a few words from s Ane other Hon. Mem bers, leave was given to bring in the Bills. Mr. WALLACE postponed his motion on the sub ject of the Scotch Sheriffs' Court Small Debt Act. Various returns were then ordered to be made on the motions of different Hon. Members. On the motion that the answer of her Most Gracious MAJESTY, to the address of the House of Commons, be read, Mr. COBDEN called the attention of the House to the omission of all allusion to the subject of agricul tural distress in the speech from the Throne, and urged the agricultural Members to join him in caning, fur a Sehct Committee on the subject. Mr. MILES did not think the farmers were much inclined to trouble the House with a recital of their grievances. He was sorry to say that, generally speaking, the farmers did not trust much to the House of Commons for an alleviation of their con dition. -------- Mr. M. GIBSON urged the necessity of inquiry, and asked Sir R. PEEL if he had given any assurance that he would not meddle with the existing corn-law. Mr. BANKES thought some allusion ought to have been made to the subject in the speech, but would not vote for a Committee. Mr. BRIGHT accused the landlords of being hollow in the professions which they made of commiseration for the distress existing in the country, inasmuch as that distress was attributable to their own legislative measures. Mr. S. O'BRIEN defended the conduct of the land , lords, and said that, so far from opposing the motion for a Committee, he would himself be willing to serve upon it. Mr. VILLIERS denied that any of the charges brought against the landlords by Mr. BRIGHT had been answered. Sir It. PEEL deprecated the discussion of such a subject without notice. He had been asked by the. Hon. Member for Manchester whether he had given any assurance to any one that no further alteration should be made in the corn-laws. He did not think the Right Honourable Gentleman had any right to put such a question to him without giving him notice. He had given no assurance incon sistent with the declarations which he had already made in the Home. As to what had been said of agricultural distress, he regretted it must be admitted there was considerable distress in some parts of the country, and he felt sincere sympathy with the suf ferers. But he did not believe that it could be as serted that there was general agricultural distress. He thought that the restoration of protection (as it had been) would be impostible ; and he thought that if it were possible, it would not be a remedy for 1 ; agricultural distress, which arose from causes which the Legislature could not control. After a ft , w words from Mr. BRIGIST, Lord J. MANNERS, and Mr. BROTHERTON, the motion was agreed to, and the House adjourned at a Quarter be fore Nine. --- We think Lord HowicK. is entitled to the thanks of the public for the able manner in which he has brought under the notice of the House of Commons some of the inconveniences and hardships that may result to parties legitimately interested in schemes for the construction of new railroads, if the Stand ing Orders with regard to the presentation of peti tions for leave to bring in the necessary Bills to give effect to such schemes, be allowed to remain in their present shape. His Lordship shewed very clearly, that after the new Committee of the Board of Trade have decided on reporting against a particular Bill, the parties are not allowed, at pre • sent, anything like an adequate period for making up their minds on the grave question whether or not it can be worth their while, whatever the merits of their scheme of railway, to attempt to carry it through Parliament in the face of an adverse reFort from the Board of Trade's Committee. This dilemma, which it now appears is so probable, is the very re sult that we anticipated in the several arti cles published lately in The Sun, in which we have expressed our serious apprehensions as to the prejudicial working of the large discre tion, and too invidious influence on all such clues \ I tions that have been devolved on this Committee. In some respects the anomalous indirect authority of the official body we speak of is really greater, i at present, than that of a Parliamentary Committee. ____ We have received Madrid journals of the 29th ult, The Chamber of Deputies was engaged in discussing the Bill for the abolition of the slave trade, and after some progress, adjourned till the 31st. General PRIM, who had been restored to liberty, was expected to arrive from Cadiz in a few days; and it was said the General SERRANO, who had been exiled from the capital, had been sent for, and that an important command was to be conferred upon him. General CONcUA had also been ordered to come t 3 Aladrid, and re-organise the cavalry on a new plan,'after which he was to resume the command of the Basque I'ro- vinces. The Three per Cents. closed at 32+ for cash, and 324 at 60 days, and the Five per Cents. at 23 . 1-16 at 60 days. The Paris papers are chiefly occupied with the appointment of M. DE SALVANDY to the Department of Public Instruction, and the dismissal of the two Members to which we adverted yesterday. M. TRIERS'S journal is highly indignant at these steps taken by the Ministry, though, strsnge to say, it re gards them as omens of their speedy downfal. Were the writer sincere, he would be the last man in the world to blame M. Guizor for a line of policy which roust be so gratifying to the leader of the Opposition. The Constitutionnel regards the subject, however, iu such a serious light, that it devotes two columns to abuse of the Ministry, and concludes the article in these words :—" The fury of the Cabinet against the dissentient Conservative-; produced yesterday a deep irritation a 1 the Chamber. 111. Duours DE LRUYS was surrounded by Deputies protesting against his disgrace. The Ministers were publicly questioned as to their intention of dismissing M. Duets, the Pro cureur- General at the Court of Cassation, and whether they would carry to its extreme lengths their ex treme political extravrgance. Remarks were made on the strange contrast of this violence with the pro found epee, a e l a m France, which reigns in with the public and with the remarkable moderation of the Opposition. It is no longer against the Left or the Left Centre only that war is proclaimed ; it is against measur e t moderateh o e ftt,e ot Ministerse s. It w strangelyas Conservatives,also remarked who maintain the liberty of their v that this still more entry of M.

The Mont' teur, in fact, informs us that Count DE ST. SUMMARY OF NEWS .t;t t tt I a Who ruts• may reld: VOILIiSZOU The approaching meeting of the Swiss Diet is ex pected to excite considerable ferment. According to the Const;tationne/, the Government of Lucerne is making preparations to meet whatever may happen, and a cou • rier has been dispatched to Naples to recal immediately the regiment of the Canton, which is in the service of the King of the Two*Sicilies. " It is to-morrow," says La Presce, in commencing a long article upon the situation of our Cabinet, " that the session of the English Parliament is to begin. In the very first sittings Lord Brougham, who has just spent a week at Paris, and attended the last debates on the;Address, is, it is affirmed, to deliver a speech upon the relations of France with England—a speech from which the best effects ar expected here, fur our Ministry are, Morehand, acquainted with what he will say. In two days all the world will be enabled to judge of this coup d tiratre." On Wednesday a ballot was to take place in the Cham ber of Deputies for the eleotion of a Vice-President in lieu of the new Minister of Public Instruction, Count de Salvandy, to which it was understood M. D'Aulnay would be elected without opposition. The Brussels Gat lie states that the net receipts of the Belgian railroads for the month of December laat amount( d to 860,000 f. Upwards of 250 houses were last week burnt down in the village of- Luc (Switzerland). The clergyman's re sidence and the town-hall were also reduced to ashes. The total damage from the fire is estimated at 100,000 f. Pro visions and necessaries have been sent in by the sur rounding villages to the sufferers. Madrid journals of the 28th ult. contain a long account of a review of the troops by the Queen, who was on horseback, in a riding-habit, and wearing aiguillettes of a Captain-General. The Clamor Puttro gives from I ogia no the following account of the last moments of Zurbano :—" Zurbano died like a hero ; to the last mo ment he displayed admirable courage and serenity. When desired to turn his back to the soldiers, who were about to shoot him, he took of his cap, threw it is the air, and said, It is not fur a disloyal act that I die I die for Isabella 11., and in defence of the Constitution of 1837: " The Correctional Tribunal Of St. Omer was occupied on the 29th ult. with an appeal ease, in which a grocer of Baulogne, named,Delapierre, was plaintiff, and Mr. Franklin Kerr, responsible editor of the Bouldyne Guar dian, defendant. It appeared from the evi fence that an advertisement had appeared, on the sth of Sep:cipher, in the defendant's journal, declaring that " a debt due from the plaintiff, amounting to Something under 150 f., as a to be sold at a los 90 per cent., and that full particu lars could be obtained on applying to the Commissary of Police." M. Delapierre brought his action fur libel be fore the Correctional Tribunal of Boulogne, and de manded I,ooof. damages. A verdict was given against him. Delapierre, not considering this veraict satisfac tory, appealed, and the Tribunal of St. Omer reversed the former sentene - d, on the ground that to announce the sale of a man's debt at 90 per cent. loss, was greatly calculated to lessen his credit, and do him injury. It condemned Kerr, in corvequence, to five days' imprison ment, 50f. fine, and 300 f. damages to the plaiatiff. Zikallir AND POLICIS Mr. Commissioner Goulburn gave judgment in the Bankruptcy Court, on the application of the assignees of Detosio, late of the Royal Hotel, Slough, to inspect the lease of those premises, which was in the possession of Mr. Blackmore, a solicitor, he refusing such inspec • tion, on the ground of having a lien on it. The judg ment was that the assignees had a right to inspect the lease, and Mr. Blackmore agreed to furnish them with a copy of it. Samuel Cantelo, Isaac Hurley, Matthew Clarke, and AV. Johnson, convicted of breaking and entering the warehouse of the Lonlon Dock Company, and of stealing therein 1471b5. of tobacco, were each sentenced to ten years' transportation, at the Central Criminal Court. 'At the Surrey Sessions, Robin Pratt, for cruelly ill using his son, a boy five years of age, was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment. Mary Hall, alias Monro, alias Weare, about 30 years of age, charged with Ataining charitable contributions from Mr. C. Bruce, 5, Lowndes-street, Beigrave-square, under fraudulent representation . , was committed for two months from Queen -square. At Marlborough-street, on Wedge day, Benjn. Brown, a cab-driver, was charged with having, while in a state of intoxication, driven against a cart belonging to Wm. Sexton, postman. of Kinsbury-green, and done much damage to the vehicle, besides injuring the owner.

Mr. Maltby fined him 31. in addition to the other fines, or thia e months' imprisonment. Angus Gillics, formerly a police-constable of the A division of the metropolitan police, and also a constable in the Edinburgh and Glasgow Constabulary, was brought up for final examination at Hammersmith, on a charge of having stolen the sum of 165/. in II ink of England notes, the property of Mrs. Mary Lewis, and committed for trial.
