At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week w as 29. 777 in. The mean temperature of the week was 59•6 Q, or about 2° below the average of the same week in ten years. On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, the dad) , mean was about b° below the average of the respective days, and on Saturday it rose nearly 4 ° above it. The wind generally blew from the west, but on Tuesday and the two foll owing days it blew occa sion Ily from the north-east and north-west. munity. We have known ourselves where, on a very recent occasion, a party was refused to be conveyed from Sloane-square to the foot of Westminster-bridge, on the Surrey side, for a less fare than three shil lings, being one shilling more than the fare from Chelsea Hospital to the Waterloo Station, as given, of course correctly according, to admeasurement, in the tables published by the South-Western :Railway. We may be sure that the cases of overcharge which meet the public eye constitute a very small portion of the " highway robberies" which actually occur. Between unwillingness, on the part of some,. to lose time in taking out a summons and appearing against a delinquent, and timidity on that of others, who cower before the thundercloud of charioteering slang, ever prompt to burst in volleys on the bead of him or her who recalcitrates against ‘, bleeding freely," these pests of the metropolis, nine times out of ten, get off scot free with the spoils of their audacity, laughing the unhappy grumbler to scorn. If the piratical lord of the whip have a smat tering of classic lore, he may with much self-com placency apply to himself the flattering unction which the miser in Horace layeth to his soul, 'UBE SHARE AILARKETS BRITISH ILAIXAVATS.

We have seen several suggestions promulgated on this subject, especially in the columns of a morning contemporary, who gave two or three powerful hits at the system ; but the iniquity is too compact and mighty to be overthrown by desultory attacks. One remedy might, in our opinion, be ap plied with a considerable degree of advantage, and that is an alteration of the existing fares. Who ever dreams of offering " eightpence," or " one-and fourpence," or such fractional parts of " the whole hog ?" Let the fare be simply at the rate of sixpence a mile, throwing half miles altogether out of account. Many a person wishing to ride a mile would wil lingly take a sixpennyworth where he is now unwil ling to spend a shilling for the purpose. The present shilling fare would be, under this system, a shilling still ; one-and• fourpence would be superseded by a shilling; one-and-eightpence and two shillings by one and- sixpence ; two-and-fourpence and two-and-eight pence by two shillings, and so on. Mode rate fares, paid thus in what we term round sums, would increase the number of cab-patronizers very considerably, and we firmly be= lieve prove in the long run a source of increased emo lument to the proprietors and drivers themselves. We would not have a man compelled to overweight his vehicle, or anything like it. The above proposition does not go beyond the freight of a cargo of two adults and a child on the knee. Any additional in dividual ought to be charged extra, say at the rate of sixpence not exceeding two miles, and a shilling it above that distance. Moreover, as those who love "to fly by night," when other people are in their quiet beds, should bethink them - that night-work constitutes a large ingredient in the wear and tear of man and horse, let midnight revellers, even as many of them are prone to see double, be taken as counting double, and a double fare be charge able between twelve at night and five or six o'clock in the morning. If some such sort of regulations as these we have thrown out were uniformly adopted, and strictly enforced on the terminal cabstands at Euston-square, King's-cross, Shoreditch, London bridge, Waterloo-road, and Paddington, by the several railway companies, the root of the present crying evil of overcharge would be struck at, and a substantial convenience and comfort rendered to the community.

FRENCII PLATS.—In drawing attention to Mr. Mitchell's benefit, announced for this evening, we gladly avail ourselves of the occasion to bear testimony to the h gh claims which that gentleman has to the support of the pub lic, for whose amusement he has for many yearn catered with a degree of spirit and liberality which must rather have a 4. vanced his fame than his interests. The bill is a moat at. tractive one, and consists of Les boraces, a little one.act piece by Ponsard, which has had great success in Paris, called Horace et Lydia and II fact qu'une Porte soit Ouverte ou Ferinee.—Times. VAUXHALL.—The gardens of Vauxhall were yes terday devoted to the benevolent purpose of aiding the funds for the relief of the suffers by famine in the Western High lands and Islands of Scotland. The fête was 'under the patronage of the Highland Society of London, and the ar rangements were made by Mr. Wardell, proprietor of the place. Everything was satisfactory. During the day Highland pipers, Highland dancers, and Highland athletes contended in their respective vocations for prizes, and af forded considerable amusement. The boys and girls of the Royal Caledonian Asylum were present, and the juvenile band pl4yed many national tunes in the best style. In ad dition to these attractions, the usual entertainments in the circus and other parts of the gardens were displayed. The appearance of the grounds was altogether gratifying, and the number of the company assembled promised an increase to the funds, which cannot fail of being acceptable. The younger visitors enjoyed the various sights with great satis faction. BALL IN MD OF THE WARD SCHOOLS AND r s ISPENSARIES OP THE CITY OF LONDON.—The ball in aid of the funds of the Ward Schools and Dispensaries of the city of London takes place this evening at the Guildhall, which will be fitted up precisely as it was on the occasion of her Majesty's visit. We cannot doubt but that the ball will be a very crowded one, for, independently of the excellence of its object, there can be no doubt but the many who were unable to get a glimp,e of the fittings up and decorations on the occasion of her Majesty's visit will eagerly embrace this opportunity of gratifying their curiosity.

THE METROPOLITAN WATER SUPPLY COMMITTEE. Yesterday this Committee, Sir James Graham in the chair, met for about its 15th time. Dr. Challis, Mr. Day, brewer, Bermondsey ; Mr. J. L Tabberner, and Mr. Yates Freebody, C.E., were examined in support of the ratepayers' case, and amusingly cross-examined by Mr. James. The Hon. Chairman expressed an opinion, in the course of the proceedings, that the evidence adduced did not tend to sup port the case on behalf of which it was adduced, and that if there were no further evidence to be brought forward by Mr. Vaughan to-day, it should be understood that Mr. Sergea t Wrangharn should open the case of the companies generally on Thursday. Upon this understanding the Committee ad journed to this day, the Learned Counsel representing the companies observing that they were very an ious to proceed with their case, as the cost of their opposition to the Bill could not be less than 1,0 01. a day. THE GREAT ExuiurrioN.--Yesterday the unpre cedentedly large number of 74,122 persons visited the Crys tal Palace, and 3,509/ Bs. was taken in shillings at the doors.

REPUESENTATION OF HARWICII.—It will be seen by our Parliamentary report that Mr. Crawford has been unseated upon petition of Mr. Prinsep, and that the election has been declared a void one. We understand that' Lieut.-General the Right Hon. Sir Frederick Adam, G.C.8., will receive the appoint ment of Governor of Malta, together with the command of the troops stationed in that island. Sir Frederick served many years in the Mediterranean, with the army in Sicily, and subsequently, as Lord high Commissioner of the lonian Islands from which he was removed u p on hi s appo i n t men t to the Madres Presidency in 1832.—Chronicle.

Tua STEPNEY' ABDUCTION CASE.—It will be re collected that, at the May sessions of the Central Criminal Court, a vourg man named William Day was convicted, under the Bishop of Oxford's Act, of the abduction of a young woman named Harriet Newman, whose statement was a very extraordinary one. He was sentenced to twelve months' hard labour; but since the conviction took place, a statement of facts h as b een laid before Si r G eorge Grey, through the exertions of Mr. Field, of the Society for the Protection of Young Female., and the Right Hon.

FATAL BOAT ACCIDENT ON WlNDLamErtis.—A sad accident took place on Suaday morning last, the 13th inst , abut ten o'clock, to a party of four y oung men who starte d r a sailing excursion from Waterhead, Windermere. They ',lad proceeded about two miles down the lake to nearly op posite Calgarth, when a sudden squall struck the boat which caused her to fill and go down instantly, engulfing in the deep and boisterous lake the four unfortunate occupants, who Vtogether di s appeared in a moment, and it is said that no ainZ was seen afterwards of the boat an d its crew but a thPle" hand which was for a while held u p .

THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 16, 1851. MU NE Y and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY TWO O'CLOCIr. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at -,000 bales, of whi h 600 were taken for export. The market was heavy at previous rates.—Railway Shares wtse rather firmer. In referring yesterday to the liabilities of Messrs. Rufford, we should have stated them at a quarter of a million sterling. Aecoonts of March from Port Phillip notice the fact of large subscriptions for the sufferers by the fire at Geelong. Sydney advices to a late date in March state— " In our last we intimated that a Political Association was about to be established in Sydney, and we have now the pleasure of stating that this association has been fairly set on foot, and we most heartily wish it success. " A meeting was held on Monday evening last, at which 17 persons were present, when it was agreed that a society should be then formed, to be called " The Political Associa tion of New South Wales." All the persons then present were immediately enrolled as members, and a pro visional committee of seven was appointed fur the purpose of framing rules for the government of the Association. This provisional committee is to continue in existence until fifty members have been enrolled, when a general meeting will be called for the purpose of electing by ballot a committee to manage the affairs of the Association. It was further agreed that the objects of the Association should for the present be simply as follows : "1. To watch over the civil and religious liberties of the people of New South Wales, and more especially of the citizens of Sydney. And 2—To keep a careful eye on the Legislative Council during the ensuing session; to watch their movements respecting the division of the colony into elector4l districts; and to see that the tOl. franchise clause shall not be nullified by any chicanery of the Government. " lhese objects are so simple in themselves, but at the same time so necessary to be accomplished and worked out for the good of this community, that we imagine there is scarcely any person who will not fully coincide with them. To en sure the carrying out of these objects in a manner beneficial to the community, we only require to have a good working associatien—one full of life and activity—a practical and not a theoretical body." The Overla d Mail letters have been received, and report N:nglisk •• •••• Irish •• •• •• QrB. I Qrs. 740 Foreign ...•••1 6,460 i 4,350 rather a dull state of business. The commercial intelligence recei"ed from the United States by the Arctic steamer, although two or three days later, is not of much importance. The money market at New York bad been rendered less stringent by fresh arrivals of gold troni California, and also from the large amount of the precious metal announce tto be in it ansitu. The rate of exchange continued at lA, and the export of specie on a large scale was still goi-g ou, the Arctic havi-g brought nearly a million of dollars. Further commercial failures are announced by this arrival. in consequence of the decline in the value of Cotton on both aides of the atlantic, and other firms are mentioned as being likely to succumb, unless t ey are supported by the arrival of specie from Cali fornia, without wbieh aid much disaster is anticipated. The following from the " Circular" of Messrs. Schroeder and Mummy, dated New Orleans, June 21, and published by Mr. James Irvine, of Liverpool, gives the state ot the Cotton Market : " Our last Circular,' dated the 7th instant, reported dulness in this "market, and declining prices. During the succeeding week the operations were, however, very fair for the advanced period of the season, amounting to 18,000 bales, at fluctuating rates; the market closing firm. The present week has seen less business done, owing principally to the absence of important European orders, and the suc ceeding departures ot our principal operators, still the sales have reached 8,000 bales, at a currency indicating an im provement of fully cent. per lb., on all grades from even running middling upwards—the lower sorts being freely offered at former quotations. " Even-running lists of all qualities below fair are not to he met with, and if holders submit to a selection of mid dling, good middling, or middling fair, they obtain, gene rally, Ic. above our quotations. The qualities above mid dling fair, although not to be found in large lots, are generally more even-running, and (being somewhat neglected) on that account comparatively cheaper, but it requires only a little demand to drain our market of all better descriptions. " The stock of Cotton in first hands has now become small and quite manageable, this, with the growing convic tion that toe great and steady decline in Europe has been caused more by general distrust than from particular suf ferance in any important branch of trade, must tend, we think, to maintain our preset figures, until more reason able calculations may be formed of the growing crop. The accounts thus far are of a conflicting character, though upon the whole they may be considered favourable; the plant, however, may yet be exposed to many more severe trials than it has hitherto been subjected to this season. " We quote to-day as follows : - Ordinary to good ordinary 6 1 ,4(1. to 7 d.; middling, 8 , 4 d. to 8 3 /d.; good middling, 9 , 4 d. to 94d.; middling fair, 9:j 4 d. to 10d. ; fair, 10 1 4 d. to 10 %d. Sales during the last fortnight, '26,000 boles. Receipts at this port since the Ist of September, 932,7b5 bales, against 776,253 bales last year. Increase of receipts at all the ports up to latest dates, 292,540 bales." The Funds have been rather less buoyant this morning. Consols are 96S to 97 for Transfer, and 97 to % for the August Account. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 913!'; : to 99, and the Three per Cents. Reduced 97% to 97 3 / 4 . Bank Stock is at 214 to 215. Exchequer bills are 495. to 525. premium.

No English Barley was brought forward; but the show of Foreign was tolerably good. On the whole, the demand was in a sluggish state, at unaltered quotations.

Inspector Monckton, C division, stated that about tour o'clock this morning he was in the Haymarket, when he saw the defendant, who was very drunk, and four others, come out of the Wa'ertord Arms wine rooms. Directly they got, into the street they cum• menced creating a great disturbance, to the annoyance of the inhabitants. He desired them to disperse quietly; the prisoner's companions obeyed his order, but the defendant behaved in such a disorderly manner, and persisted in remaining where he was, that witness was compelled to convey him to the station-house. The defendant, who did not deny the charge, was fined 10'. RoBEEKT.—Mary Ann Ross, cook in the service of Madame Gellanoat, Duke-street, Grosvenor-square, was charged on suspieion of having stolen eight 101. notes, the 'property of M. le Comte Groupelli, an attackal to the Sardinian Legation. Madame Gellandat deposed that the Count occupied apartments in her house. Last night, about 12 o'clock, she and her family retired to r.st, leaving the prisoner iu the kitchen, where she slept. In about an hour after she (witness) had been in bed, she was alarmed by hear ing the street coor close with great violence. She got up and proceeded down stairs, but not seeing anyone ►he went to the kitchen and knocked at the door. Receiving no answer she opened ithe door, and saw the prisoner, who was partly undressed, lying on the bed apparently asleep, a candle was burning in the room, which was contrary to the rules of the house. She woke up the prisoner, and asked her whether she had been out, and on her replying in the affirmative she (witness) ' left her and went upstairs to her room. Bafore entering the latter she went into a room close by that occupied by the Count, and on looking about saw a box which she knew belonged to the Count open in the room. Suspecting that something was wrong she alarmed the house, and just at that time the Count, who had been out, returned, and on looking over the contents of the box missed eight 101. notes. The prisoner, who was at once suspected to be the thief, was then given in charge. Count Julius Groupelli proved that, previous to his leaving his loegiuge last evening, he saw the whole o f the notes safe in his box in his bed-room. He did nut place the box where it was round, neither did he at present know the number of the notes. The prisoner, who protested her innocence, was re manded for a week. steps to remove or mitigate the distress. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said Government were A!! possession of the report, aid therefore they could not I' f . it on the tabl. He had not heard of any loss of 1 00 from starvation iu the Highlands, but there could be , doubt that great distress did prevail there, and it not improbable that measures would be taken to r& it, by assisting the poor to emigrate. QUESTION OF PRIVILEGE. go Mr. BANKES had a motion on the paper relatieg io a question of privilege, and he wished to take the 0001 of the Speaker whether he was not entitled to pro ° with it before the order of the day? The SPEAKER replied in the affirmative. • ad . Mr. BANKES acid, then he wished to move the " a r s p pointment of a Select Committee to consider the 1 7 " 0 don of the electors of Harwich, which be presented ‘. o i other day. He was quite ready that the Commit°, a so , Selection should have power to nominate the Cotelef o f and he was as ready to submit to any other WO bf appointing the Committee which the Government tnigar suggest. He might mention that the petitioners Om plumed that undue influence bad been used by er, Government officials to prevent them from 14 0 s cising the franchise tc the last election. „4 had now simply to move that the petition be 00' to the consideration of a Select Comittee.

If its Roman connexion be fabulous, here, at all events, was a Saxon stronghold, and here is a Norman castle. At sight of these architecturally much abused walls what names and recollections rise! this palace, prison, and fortress, "the very germ of London," aaCharles Knight calls it, is, in truth, the earl) history of England, written on stone, and in terspersed, may w e say, with many " cuts on wood." Visitors should not forget Traitors' Gate -" that gate misnamed, through which before Went Sidney, Russell, Raleigh, Crammer, More ;" or the little Church of St. Peter ad Vincula, where lies Anne Boleyn, with many other noble sufferers; or the Beauchamp Tower, with its singularly interesting records of some who were imprisoned there, cut in the atone walls. This latter will be seen ou the west side of the open space beside the keep, or what used to be called "the Green beside the Chapel within the Tower," and is now the officer.' mess room. To view this permission must be obtained, but this will not be found difficult. Many of the inscriptions are full of interest, none more so to us than the simple word JANE," which, if not written by the unto tunate Lady Jane Grey herself; probably was by her husband, Guilford. The present mess-master is apt and obliging in describing the must important of these " trivial folio records," but he is to error in pointing out the date to the inscription signed " William Tyrrel," as " 1241, the earliest inscription here.' It is 1511.— The Builder. TtiE BALLOON ASCENT FROM THE CHINESE JUNK THAT DID " NOT " TAKE PLACE.—An amusing hoax was on Monday night played off on the sight- seeing and wonder-loving citizens of Cockaigne. For some days past large placards announced for that night a balloon ascent from the Chinese Junk, lying in the river, with the further tempting novelty, as the bills had it, of " Aladdin's Aerial Palace," to be dis played from the car. From an early hour in the evening both Waterloo and Blackfliers bridges, and every availaele spot from which a view of the junk could be obtained, were crowded with eager expectants, who bore the piercing of a strong north-easterly wind for hours with most exemplary patience. A few minutes before eight o'clock, however, the top of the balloon, which had been visiole above the enclo sure around the junk disappeared, and soon afterwards, under a mimic salute of cannon, it rose above the boards for a second or two, for being now apparently relieved of the greater portion of the gas, i a ascent was but of momentary duration, as it immediately descended and tell into the river, but so close to the junk that it could be drawn under the pbeouarredd u ta o in u e ld d by boarding without any difficulty, the suspicions that w ere enter fficulty, for in an instant it disap not a few, that the " Aerial Palace of Al ad di u " prove but a castle built in the air," was fully r ea lized, w and that the whole affair was only one of those harmless jukes that choleric Englishmen are sometimes inclined to desig nate by the homely, but well understood term of "a hoax. The bridges were boot' after relieved of the hundreds by which they had been crowded, and the whole affair was passed off in tolerable good humour. FATAL SOMNAMKULIHK —On Monday Mr. H• M.

In the House of Lords last evening, The Earl of DERBY moves that the papers laid be fore the House during the present and last session re specting the representative institutions granted to the Cape be referred to a Select Committee. The Noble Earl, although he censured the course which bad been pursued by the Colonial Secretary, denied that he was actuated by party or personal hostility in bringing for ward this motion; his only object being to aid the Go vernment in escaping from a great difficulty by legis• iation. --- - Earl GREY defended the policy which the Govern. =lent had pursued at the Cape of Good Hope, de precated any attempt at interference on the part of Parliament as calculated to weaken the authority of the Crown in the colony, and declared that it was impos sible to imagine what could have induced the Noble Earl to bring forward such a motion, except a desire to secure a party triumph. Toe Earl of MALDIESBURY and Lord LYNDHURST supported the motion, w hich was .opposed by Lord C RANWORT H and the LORD CHANCELLOR. The Duke of ARGYLE expressed his approval of the conduct of the Noble Earl the Colonial Secretary, and oppose d t he motion, as one calculated to invalidate the authority of the mother country and impair the powers of the Crown. Lord WHARNCLIFFE thought it inexpedient to refer such questions to a Select Committee. The Duke of NEWCASTLE would abstain from support ing the motion if he thought it involved a vote of cen sure on the Government. The Earl of DERRY replied, and The House divided—Contents, 68; non-contents, 74 ; majority in favour of Ministers, 6. In the House of Commons, at the morning sitting, The Harwich Election Committee reported that Mr. B. W. CRAWFORD had not been duly elected, and that the last election for that borough was a void election. The House was occupied in Committee with the detail of the County Courts further Extension Bill during the whole sitting. At the evening sitting, Mr. EWART moved certain resolutions, the objects of which were to reduce the number of Members and im prove the composition of Select (public) Committees of the House, and to prescribe three instead of five as a suf dent quorum of Members for a Select Committee. The motion was, after a short debate, withdrawn, upon an intimation from Lord J. RUSSELL that he would not oppose the appointment of a Select Committee next ses sion to consider the subject. Lord NAAS moved a resolution, pledging the House to resolve itself into a Committee on a future day to consider the present state of the milling interest in Ire land. Mr. LABOUCHERE said that the effect of agreeing to the motion would be to revive the corn-laws; for Eng lish millers would demand the same protection that was given to Irish millers, and the protection that was given to the millers could not be refused to the farmers. Mr. J. STUART and Mr. ANSTEY supported the mo tion, which was opposed by Mr. RUCHE. Mr. NEWDEGATE, in supporting the motion, made an attack upon the principles of free trade generally, and was replied to by Mr. J. WILSON. Colonel DUNNE would have every interest in Ireland protected. Lord Naes having replied, the House divided, when the motion was negatived by 128 against 93. Certain Bills were advanced a stage, and the other orders being disposed of, the House adjourned at a Quarter to One o'clock. Majorities have latterly become so scarce with her MAJESTY'S Ministers, that even the trivial one of six, obtained last evening in the House of Lords, is really to them a matter of serious congratulation. It will be observed from the discussion provoked upon this occasion by the Earl of DERRY'S motion condemna tory of the policy of the Colonial Secretary, that against the almost despairing weakness of the Cabinet was brought to bear all the spite, the virulence, and the audacity of a resolute and factious Opposition. These considerations should not be over looked by the people, if it is desiredithat justice should be done by them to the latest and not least remark able of the few triumphs achieved by the Govern ment. In the instance specified it was the unpopular head of the Colonial Department of the Administra tion against whom the whole fury of the attack was directed. Consequently the danger impending over Ministers was proportionately greater than that formerly originating in the attack upon the popular chieftain of the Foreign Department, as the Earl GREY'S diminutive corps of supporters is eclipsed by the " troops of friends" ever attendant in such emergencies on Viscount PALMERSTON. Added to the violent hostility evinced throughout last night's debate by the Earl of DERBY, the originator of the discussion, was the deliberate enmity of Lord LYND• HURST ; the indirect support accorded to the argu ments of both those Peers by the Duke of NEW.. CASTLE ; and the earnest encouragement of the assault by the Earl of MALMESBURY. Meanwhile it must be remembered that Lord CRANWORTH insisted strongly upon the legality of Earl GREY'S proceedings as Colo nial Secretary; that this opinion was, moreover, most cordially coincided in by the LORD CHANCELLOR himself; that the Duke of ARGYLL objected to the motion as to one altogether without signification; and that it was with equal emphasis deprecated as ill- timed by Lord WHARNCLIFFE. Such were the Peers who participated in the discussion of yesterday, besides the Noble Statesman who himself endea voured to ward off the deadly blows of his antago nists by a maturely-considered and explicit counter statement. From tha arguments ad vanced upon both sides it may be perceived what is really the situation of affairs in the Cape Colony, and bow far the head of the Colonial Depart ment of the Government is responsible for the diffi culties which have stood in the way of establishing representative institutions in that quarter of our trans-marine possessions. Every feature of the sub ject was yesterday closely examined into by the one or other of the different speakers. So that no doubt can any longer remain in the public mind upon the position of political matters in Cape Town after last night's debate in the Upper House of the Imperial Legislature. Referring to the convict question, to the secession of the four councillors, to the acceptance of their with. drawals by the Governor, and to the dispatches of the Colonial Secretary, the Earl of DERBY contrived to make out a very plausible case against her MAJESTY'S Government—plausible, we mean, to all those indivi duals who have not scrupulously examined into the rights of the matter themselves. Insomuch was this the case, that we find some among our contemporaries designating the speech of the Noble Lord as one cha racterised by its exceeding fairness, although in reality than it no more party speech was ever delivered within the walls of the British Parliament. Other wise than for factious purposes—otherwise than to further the , cause of the Opposition—otherwise than to encourage the hopes and foster the interests of the various aspirants for the good things of office, the motion of the Esrl of DERBY cannot but be regarded as altogether idle and objectless—as was, indeed, observed pleasingly enough in the very sen sible commentaries uttered by his Grace the Duke of ARGYLL. According to the opinion of the last-mentioned Peer, such a motion as the one intro duced by the Earl of Daanz was calculated not merely t o impair the authority of the Crown in the colony, but must, if carried, necessitate the addition of two or three months to the session for the purpose of enabling Parliament to supply the Cape with another constitution. Recognising and appreciating these things, it is impossible not to regard both the speech and the motion o f th e N o bl e E ar l th e l e ader of the Protectionists as of a most factious and disin genuous character. Therefore it is that we rejoice the more c ordially in the success obtained by her MAJESTY'S Ministers over their antagonists, a success the snore deserved from the integrity of the policy pursued, in this instance, throughout by the Noble Lord the Principal Secretary in the Colonial Depart ment. His defence, last evening, of his own adminis tration, in regard to the Cape colonists, must be re garded as, perhaps, the most brilliant evidence of hi s abilities y et a ff orde d s i nce t he formation of the pie. sent Government.
