• FLANDERS and HAMBURGH MAIL. BRUSSELS, JAN. 29.—The Chamber of Representatives bag not yet concluded the general debate on the Budget • of the Minister of the Interior. The debate to-day was animated and interesting. M. de Decker and several other Members spoke in favour of the Ministers. M. Saved Martel supported M. Osy's motion for an address to the King . against the Ministers. Several members of . the Opposition intending still to speak, it is not likely that the discussion will be concluded even to-morrow. JAN. 30.—The sitting of to-day was opened by M. Verhaegen, he spoke with much bitterness ; in the first speech, which he delivered on Friday last, his at tacks were chieity directed against the Ministers; to-day be attacked the majority in its orators. We think it right to mention this circumstance, for we perceive in it , a n important symptom. M. Verhaegen can no longer reckon on the speedy dissolution of this majority. M. Verhaegen's speech was followed by some general explanations, which proves that the combat is again be tween the Right and the Left—between the old majority and the old minority. The speech of M. Verhaegen was followed by a reply of the Minister of the Interior. But the most remark able incident of the sitting was the speech of the Count de Theux. Various conjectures had been formed re specting the part which he would take. He declared that there was no serious reason to overthrow the Ca binet, and that, without making any engagement for the future, he should vote against the motion of M. Osy. M. de Foere commenced a long speech, in which he blamed both the Opposition and the Cabinet ; he could net conclude, on account of the lateness of the hour, and will finish his speech to-morrow. We believe that no choice has yet been made of a suc cessor to M. Rochussen, Ambassador of the Nether lands at the Court of Brussels. FROM THE MAINE, JAN. 19.—1 t MU lately said that if Mr. Wheaton should propose to resume the negotia tions between the Zollverein and the United States, the proposal would probably be acceded to. We do not believe that Mr. Wheaton is authorised to take any official steps in this matter, which, besides, must be with out any result, as the Senate was adjourned on the 4th of May, and the new Senate does not meet till December. '.Ve believe, too, that we affirmed that the principle will be insisted on at Washington, that the Hanseatic cities shall enjoy, as free perts, the same advantages as for direct consignments from America to the ports of the Zuilverein, and we much doubt of the consent of the latter to such a stipulation. FRANKFORT, JAN. 21.—Mr. Fox Strangways will re turn to his post here in April at the latest, by which time the representatives of France and Russia will also return. We expect, also, not only Count Von Munch- Bellinghausen, but Prince Metternich, sooner than usual —perhaps in the spring— at Johannisberg, there to make a long stay. -ST. PETERSBURG'', JAN. 18.—By an imperial order of the day of the 13th instant, the Grand Duchess Olga is appointed chief of the Elizabeth Grand Regiment of Hussars, which is to be called henceforth the Ilussar Regiment of her Imperial Highness the Grand Duchess Olga Nicolajewna. DRESDEN, JAN. 16.—We hear that some of the Ro man Catholics here intend to follow the example of those at Tchneidennihl. HAMM:BCH, JAN. 27. —About four o'clock this morning, the tide running up strungly, part of the outer line of the-works of our harbour was carried away. The slamage is estimated at 12,000 marks. Every precaution has been taken to prevent damage to the vessels in port, and the breaking up of the ice. LORSENIIALLE, JAN. 28. Bills. Money. 113 Austrian 5 per Cents Bank Shares ........ ......

Jan. 29. .... 1650 THE MEDICAL PROFESSION. On Friday a numerous meeting of general practi tioners was held at Exeter-hall. William Jones, Esq., M.D., took the chair, and was supported by Mr. Wakley, M.P. Mr. H. Hodson Rugg, Mr. T. H. Cooper, Mr. Hilles, Mr. M'Cann, Mr. Simp son, Mr. Hunter, Dr. Lynch, and other gentlemen. Mr. WAHLEY, M.P., after some preliminary remarks from the chair, said that at a previous meeting,he had given notice that he would move that a petition be presented to the Crown on the subject of the grievances under which the profession has laboured. The Hon. Member said he had prepared a petition, and he would now sub mit it for approval. The petition, after pointing out the alleged abuses of the College of Surgeons, summed up the grievances of the petitioners as follows; " That your memorialists are still suffering under many of the grievances, of the existence of which they have complained during the last twenty years, and thus they are compelled to allege that the go verning council are still managing the affairs of the College, so as to excite feelings of discontent and ani mosity amongst the thousands of member of the incorpo ration, who are not even permitted to assemble within the walls of their own College to address your Majesty on the subject of the injuries which they have received, and the degradatiou to which they have been subjected, or relating to any measures connected with the manage ment an control of the institution. That being strongly impressed with the painful recollection of the fact that the last charter was obtained silently and secre t ly, through the misrepresentation of the council, and with out the knowledge or concurrence of any portion of upwards of ten thousand members of the institut i on, they consider it to be an imperative obligation upon them, most dutifully, earnestly, and respectfully, to pray that your Majesty will not consent to alter or amend the existing charters of the College, in consequence of any petition which the council may again present to the Crown, until after your Majesty shall have been gra ciously pleased to give to the memorialists, and the other members of the College, an opportunity of being heard by themselves or their agents, before your Majesty and your Honourable Privy Council." Dr. LYNCH seconded the adoption of the petition, and several gentlemen spoke in its support. It was unani mously adopted. It was then arranged that a committee meeting should be called for Monday evening next, when the petition would be signed. FIRE AT VICKERS'S DISTILLERT.—On Friday, about coon, considerable alarm prevailed in the vicinity of the Eorough Market, in consequence of the sudden outbreak of a fire, which at one time threatened great destruction of property on the premises belonging to Messrs. Joseph and John Vickers, the distillers, in Stoney-street. The fire originated in the still-house, a large building, in which there were four or five stills at work. It was caused by an escape of spirit through the manhole of a still contaiaing about twelve hundred gallons. One of the workmen, on seeing a blaze round that portion of the Mill, ran forward at the risk of his life, and attempted to subdue the flames. Finding he was unable to accom fliah the object, he called for further assistance, and sent ur the engines. With all speed numerous engines arrived. The workmen having exerted themselves in drawing off the spirit, all danger of the fire extending was at an end by the time the brigade arrived, and one engine was found sufficient to cool the building. The damage done is considerable, bat the firm was fully insured. DEATH OF VIE CELEBRATED STAG HAMPTON.— This extraordinary animal, which had been hunted by her Majesty's buckhounds for the past ten seasons, and bad afforded some of the most interesting and clipping runs on record, was killed in consequence of an attack with which the noble animal was seized, immediately at the conclusion of the run on Friday, the 24th ult. Ilimpton was four years old when he was first hunted which was in 183.5; and was regularly hunted three or four times every season since. His favourite line was generally ever the grass country to Harrow, and thence towards the metropolis, having been taken, on three or four occasions, in the vicinity of Edgware-road and the Itegent's-park. his extraordinary speed and powers of endurance were first observed to fail him the first time he was turned out this season, in the early part of Decem ber. He was then upwards of fourteen years of ago; the eldest stag, we are informed, ever hunted by the royal staghounds. Foxlty, who was taken on Tuesday last, at Pinner, after being at large for upwards of a fortnight, Lids fair to prove in every respect equal to the celebrated llarnpton deer.

Royal Marines—Second Lieutenant Gell, from the Excellent, is ordered for the Military College at Portsmouth, to be instructed for the service of the !marine artillery : Captain Thomas Holloway, of this division, is appointed to the Excellent, at Portsmouth, snd left on Thursday, the 30th, for his division head quarters for that ship. Captain Thos. Park is under orders from this division for service at Spike Island. liajor Wilson, Assistant Adjutant-General, arrived on Tuesday last, and inspected 30 privates, who Yolunteered into the come of the amine ertallery. THE WEATHER—Sirs OFFICE, FEB. 1. NERMOMETER, Lowest, 22 ; Highest, 33 ; Noon, 33, BAROMETER, 29.85.—W1ND, N.W. NoTn—The figures which follow the words "Lowest" and Highest" denote the lowest and highest state of the Thermometer during the preceding twenty-four hours. All the other observations are made at noon. Water freezes at 32 ; 55 on Thermometers is marked "Temperate," and on Barometers "Fair" is geaerally placed opposite to 30, and "Rain" at 29 ; but there is no certainty of dry weather when the mercury falls below 30. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 3, 1845. showed a contrary conviction. What chance, then, has he now, by following a different course, and at a time when there are so many favourable symptoms on the part of the Government of a wish to redress grievances ? An obnoxious Lord-Lieutenant has been removed—another appointed, who could join in the liberal policy of Lord ELIOT. The Prime Minis ter himself has announced some important measures for Ireland, and will bring them under the considera tion of Parliament during the session. Tory hatred has abated, the vagaries of the English Church have shamed the bigots to silence, and there is every pros pect that attempts will be fairly and conscientiously made, if not to place the Irish on a footing with her more powerful and more fortunate neighbours, at least to pave the way for an event which Sir ROBERT PEEL knows can alone give peace to Ire land and security to England. This is not a time, therefore, for Mr. O'CoNNELL to hang back. His ac curate knowledge of the wants of his countrymen, his eloquence and legal skill in framing enactments, would at such a juncture be of the greatest service ; his stirring speeches, too, would be read by Englishmen and Scotsmen, while he might speak in. the Repeal hall till the day of his death, and his most eloquent orations would be scattered by the winds of the Channel and driven from our shores. We tell him, as friends, that the speeches made in the Association are utterly useless for their purpose. There is no de• bating, no opposition, no rivalry, between conflicting orators—there is only the soporific monotony of a " Hole and Corner" meeting. He ought to re member, too, that others will fill up his place. The proverb, " Vixere fortes ante 4gamemnona," does not tell the whole truth. Great men lived after him, and the history of the world turns to scorn the vanity of a leader who prides him. self in the belief that, when he withdraws from the scene, universal confusion will follow. Next day the sun still shines as brightly, events follow one another in their usual course, !new combinations are formed, a new leader springs into view, and the fertility of nature, in a wonderfully short space of time, fills up the gap which vain and ignorant men conceived to be irreparable. There are yet in Parliament great men—lrishmen, too—who have not bowed to the idol of Repeal, who will assert the cause of the oppressed, and only be excited to greater exertions by the seces sion of those who should have led the way. In one great point their advocacy will exceed that of Mr. O'CONNELL. Repeal has no supporters in Great Britain ; those who profess it address unwilling audi tors ; and either Mr. SUEZL, or Lord Howica, or Mr. MACAULAY, would produce more effect in Par liament, and throughout the country, than the great Liberator himself. Public opinion here is not de spised with impunity, for no great and lasting mea sure can be carried without it. On grounds like these, among others, we regard the new secession as inexpedient, but confidently hope that it mill not throw obstacles in the way of reform, nor, in the end, be injurious to the best interests of Ireland. class interests, and class influence, that position. Let him extend the circle of his operations, and give to his efforts for the extension, the productiveness, and, therefore, the freedom of our commerce, that unity of purpose, that singleness of action, that precision, vigour, and effect, which result from a hearty com bination of well-matured designs and the unfl;nching execution of them. Away with the puerilities of nominal, not virtual protection; away with the follies of fiscal duties, pitched so extravagantly high as to prove irresistible temptations to contraband pro duction or to smuggling; away with the monopoly of trades, of which the staples are the first necessary elements of human existence, or the comforts most universally required for social consumption. Let Sir ROBERT PEEL, whilst he abolishes oppressive imposts, condemned by all sound reason and policy as well as by humanity, release from their antiquated restrictions those branches of legitimate trade which languish and decline under their restraint, but would leap into renewed life and expansive energy on being set free, to the infinite ad vantage of individuals, and the perceptible improve ment of the national resources. Doubtless he must long have felt that to give to our commerce that in creased activity and development which are so de sirable, we have only to will that it be so, in order that that object should be attained. Let him, as the first steps towards this consummation, so passion ately desired by the country, set the cur rency free by removing the fetters he placed upon it in 1819 and last year, ard thereby so distribute the representative of wealth and property among the working classes, more especially, as to breathe new life into the nostrils of operative industry, and in so renewing its wasting strength, and duly rewarding its heretofore ill-paid exertions, scatter competency, cheerfulness, and improvement around the land, in the place of bankrupt enterprise, accumulated pauperism, gloomy discontent, and ill repressed desperation. Let him take without hesi tation from the foreign customer whatever commo dity —corn, wines, sugars, fruits—he may have to offer in exchange for our surplus manufactures, our home and colonial products—our fuel, our machinery. By such a course we may defy, for scores of years to come, the attempted competition of France and other Powers with ourselves in foreign markets. Give us but room to run ;—we are first, and we will remain so. In this way we shall cease to be worried with fears arising out of the negotiation of commercial treaties or the formation of Zoliverein Leagues between other nations. In brief, let Sir R. PEEL reflect that he has done enough for himself, for his party, and their interests. Let him devote the remainder of his career to realise a condition of national vigour and prosperity in all departments of our social and commercial system, which he may bequeath to his country—to a grateful posterity—as the noblest inheritance ever consolidated by the talents and the good fortune of a single Minister. His golden for tunes offer him this golden opportunity for reaping golden opinions. He will scarcely let it pass, whether he regard with due consideration his own reputation, or with due affection his country's welfare and grandeur. patriotism, all their talents to the re-establishment of the peace of France and of Europe. It has declared that the Ministers of the 29th of :)ctober had not ceased to merit its confidence and that of the country. In pre sence of this manifestation, which does equal honour to the Cabinet and the majority, and for which we must congratulate ourselves as a guarantee for the future, and for the progress of constitutional ideas, what was the duty of the Cabinet ? As Marshal Soult has nobly declared, it would have betrayed all its duties if it had refused to yield to the urgent wish of its political friends. It has not hesitated—it has promised to remain in office, and to defend a standard which has not been van quish ed." M. TIMM' journal, the Constitutionnel, on Wed nesday, published a list of the majority, with the places they represent, who voted with the Govern ment on Monday, and to make the affair as national as possible, gives it this heading—" Lisle du Parti- Pritchard." The Globe returns the complaint by pub lishing an analysis of the minority. According to the analysis 19 of them are Republicans, five Leg timatists who performed the pilgrimage of Belgrave-square, 19 Legitimatists who did not perform the pilgrimage, 85 Deputies or the Left, 20 of what the Globe calls Left Legitimatists, 33 of the TUIERS' party, five of the DurAuaE party, seven of the MOLE party, and 44 of whom the Globe calls the party des Insal sissables, at the head of which party it places M. DuPIN, making a total of 205. We have no English word for the epithet "Insaisissables," applied to M. DUPIN and his tail, but it is exactly descriptive of the tail of a certain obstinate, self-willed, and crotchety animal, that occasionally affords much amusement at rustic sports. In reference to the meeting, the Presse says :—" It was without object, and will re main without effect, for the 213 having already given to Ministers all that they possessed; they had nothing more to give, and it is not by declaring themselves exclusive and fully satisfied that the majority of a party will ever make proselytes, or succeed in bring inz back dissenters." The National states that only 157 Conservative Deputies were at the meeting, and that with the twenty-four Deputies who announced their willing ness to subscribe to whatever might bee agreed upon, - the total number is only 191, instead of 213, which was the majority in the Chamber of Deputies. It cannot, however, advert to the subject without an attempt to rouse the national feeling against England, and comes to this conclusion:— " There is nothing extraordinary in this manoeuvre. It is not the first time that ambitious men have caused themselves to be entreated to retain or accept office. Without going back further than 1830, our history'is full of acts of devotedness of this kind As to the manifesto which the Pritchard meeting has proposed to put forth against its adversaries, France will judge. She will say wether loyalty and patriotism are on the side of those who make us pay an indemnity to Mr. Pritchard, or whether they are not ii:trigans, because we have refused to humble our country to the man who assassinated our fellow-citizens at Otaheite." The following are miscellaneous extracts from filo papers :—. " A letter from Copenhagen of Jan. 19, says The Board of Admiralty has just presented to the King their annual report on the state of the Danish navy. From this document it appears that it consists of the following vessels:-8 ships of the line of 84 guns, 8 frigates of from 40 to 48, 4 corvettes of 20 to 22, 2 cutters of 20 guns, 4 schooners of 16 to 18, and 4 steamers of 4 to 6 guns — giving a total of 33 vessels and 100 guns.' " Another from Christiana, in Norway, 14th inst., states that the King was expected to arrive there on February 6th, accompanied by the Prince Royal and Prince Gustavus, who in April will go to the University of Upsal. According to etiquette, the King's Swedish Court will leave him on his arrival in Norway, and re • turn to Sweden. _ . . The rumours of Ministerial resignations, to which we on Friday alluded, have strangely broken in upon that torpid lull of news in the condition of domestic politics which usually precedes, by a week or ten days, the re-assembling of a Parliament for the business of the session. In our present state of uncertainty it would be idle to speculate on the results of events which may have occurred, as yet, upon the authority of report, only. These rumours are a species of game, which, once put up, secure a numerous and eager field at their heels—hot upon the scent, and staunch in the pursuit. Our brother journalists, of course, in such_a field, take the lead; and it is an object of keen competition among them, as it is with others interested in such pursuits—to " be in at the death ;" or, to speak less figuratively, to ascertain whose selection of rumours approaches nearest to the realised facts which they finally " run into." We have already quoted the conflicting specu lations of the Times, Chronicle, Herald, Morning Post, and Standard. These, under our present imperfect knowledge of the actual intentions of the Crown and its Prime Minister, we do not here attempt to pursue. But we are authorised to assume that Mr. GLAD STONE has resigned his connexion with office by retiring from the Presidency of the Board of Trade ; and this, we repeat, is a very important event in its bearing on the moral power and constituent strength of Sir ROBEICT PEEL'a Administration. But in our view of the matter its main interest is derived from the possible scope it may give to that Administration for a far more healthy, intelligible, vigorous, and beneficial action, than any which itself or its prede cessors have been able to exercise for very many years past. We shall not be suspected of a desire to go out of our way to say civil things of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Government; still less of him, personally. But our support is ever challenged by measures, not men. Our solicitude is extreme for principles, whilst we are indifferent to party. We hare always felt a high respect for the character and the ability of Mr. GLAD STONE ; but we have never blinded ourselves to his deficiencies, even as a Minister of Commerce, and to his pernicious example and writings as a polemical layman. He has contracted his vast sphere of useful ness by an obstinate adhesion to anti-Brazilian pre udices ; and be has shaken the foundations of the Church by his Tractarian tamperings with their massive simplicity. He dies the official death—a mar tyr, we are told, to Manilla sugars, and a victim to the progress of Puseyism. In both instances his own pinions have supplied the shafts which have brought him down. The one has been feathered by his " certificate of growth," or nationality, which was to secure the ad mission of foreign sugars into our markets free from the taint of slave labour—the other, by certain Oxford Tracts, and by an article in the Quarterly, which, not disavowed or recalled, connected the Administration whereof he was so prominent a member, with his own lkornish prepossessions and his jesuitical casuistry in 'indicating them. Of the latter, we recorded in our impresssion of yesterday, and at large, the opinions we have never ceased to hold, since this affliction was first visited upon the Established Church. Of the certificate of growth we could only now repeat, what we have so often urged before, as to the ab surdity of an attempted compromise between the literal and rigorous construction of the responsibility assumed by this country to abolish and repress negro slavery, by every act dependent on her own volition; and the necessity of increasing the supply and cheapening the price of sugar, to the British con sumer, by admitting foreign sugars into consumption here. To imagine that in the Southern States of the Union, or in Cuba, sugar is not raised by slave labour, would not be more at variance with fact than to suppose that slave-owning growers in foreign Eastern colonies will not transmit their produce to Manilla, for example, under circumstances that will secure them their certificate of having been raised by free labour, from some British functionary who, in five cases out of eight, will not be able to testify,' of his own knowledge, to anything at all about the matter :If our Abolition and Emancipation Acts invested us with the authority or power to put down the offence of slave_ h ►lding i❑ America, in the Archipelago, or elsewhere, these certificates of free growth would have been super fluous. But we have neither that authority nor that power. After all the incalculable sums we have expended in the work of Negro Emancipation, are we to be still further taxed, by reason of the diminished produc tion and increased cost of sugars grown on our own West Indian possessions, to eat less of, and pay more for, this important commodity than many of our Continental neighbours, who have made no such sacrifices at all ? This, it is admitted, it would be too monstrous to require ; and so we have the certifi cate scheme of free labour growth, to be deluded with. The real effective operation of the system is to give to slave-grown sugars, after a voyage of a few weeks from the Antilles or the Main to some other country, a statutable purification from the taint of Slave Manipulation, on their re-export, so as to en sure their admission into this market. Madrid journals of the '24th ult. have been re ceived. In the Chamber of Deputies the report of Senor PACIIECO, upon the abolition of the slave trade, had been presented to the Chamber of Deputies. Upon a demand of M. Ds LATOGA for the publication of papers, the Foreign Minister replied that he could only partially comply with such a demand ; adding, that two objects alone were sought to be accomplished by the hill— the first was the acceptance of the treaty of 1835 ; the second to make it evident how profoundly was their conviction that the slave trade was infamous, and ought to be abolished. The Editor of the Eco del Commercio and M. CALvo MATEO, who • have been in prison since the attempt on General NAB VAEZ, have been let out on bail to stand their trial.

The Ministerial journals consider it an event of great im portance, while those of the Opposition regard it only as an additional proof of weakness, and as a vain attempt to prop up a Cabinet condemned by the re presentatives of the nation. Joined, however, with the return of Court influence, the complete adhesion of SALVANDY, BUGEAUD, and BRoGLIE, the violence of the Republican and Radical party in the Chamber, and especially with the strong expressions used by the KING in his reply to the Address, with regard to the importance of the English alliance, it has given new life to the Ministry, and as a proof of this the Constitutionnel, which regarded the return of TRIERS to power as certain, displays the greatest bitterness and violence at the disappointment. The speech of the KING is remarkable at the present time for the stress laid upon the preservation of peace with England, and fully shows that his MAJESTY is not deterred by the anti-English mania of those who have conferred the epithet of the " Pritchard party" on the supporters of his Cabinet. On Wednesday evening the Deputation of the Chamber of Deputies, and the greater number of the Conservative party, proceeded to the Tuileries with the Address. The Salle du TrOne was thrown open, and the KING took his seat, surrounded by his Lords, the Duke of NEMOURS, the Prince DE JoiNvna.r, the Duke d'AustALx, and the Duke DE MONTPENSIER, with Marshal SOULT and M. GUIZOT on his right. The Address was read by the President, to which the KING made the following reply " Messieurs the Deputies, " I thank you for this loyal Address. It will con tribute, with that force which attaches to everything that emanates from you, to guard the future against the dangers which the blindness of passion too often draws upon the people. A mutual regard for justice and for peace presides over our relations with all foreign Powers, and the agreement so happily and so honourably re-established between France and England attests the spirit of wisdom and of conciliation which animates the two Governments. Thanks to your concurrence, to the support that you have lent my Go vernment, thanks to the stability that the union of the powers has given to our institutions, our coun try, protected by Divine Providence, enjoys that al ways-increasing prosperity which constitutes the glory of my reign, and, if I may be permitted to say it, b m o y u r p i e n r g s o n a a a t ocnosn fearsol a t thatio ion . the A n f d o r , c i e n sat and d a d p o o f w s e e r e in o g f nei g h France may be employed in the ravages of war or propagation of revolutionary anarchy, we have inspired them with just confidence that our resources and our power shall be for them as far ourselves a pledge of peace and security. "I feel much touched with the sentiments that you have expressed towards my family and myself. Always devoted to our country, the happiness of my sons con sists in being able to serve it ; and their devotedness, like mine, shall have no other limit but that of our ex istence." His MAJESTY pronounced these last words with emotion, and a loud cry of Vire le Roi I imme• diately arose. The KING, at this manifestation of feeling, advanced towards the circle of the Deputies, and added, " I am exceedingly touched with these acclamations, and with the sentiments you express towards me. Mine have sprung from my heart, where yours will remain always engraved." We have already stated that, on the same day, a de putation from the Ministerial meeting, held in the Rue Richelieu, waited on Marshal SoULT, to express their determination to support the Government. The Journal des Debats gives the following report of the reply made by the veteran warrior, who, according to his own words, has been in the service of hie country for sixty-one years. We doubt much if any one man in France, except SoULT, could say the same :—" The Marshal replied, in the name of the Cabinet and his own, with his usual firmness. He assured the deputation that his colleagues would no more desert than himself. The illustrious Marshal added, that the weight of affairs and of years would be lightened by the sentiments of a party such a s that which had just given him proofs of them ; that lie was in the sixty-first year of his service, and that his glory consisted in devoting to Conservative opinions all that remained to him of strength and life." On this reply the Journal des Debats m a k es these remarks : But we trust that Sir ROBERT PEEL, in respond ing to the glorious opportunity which now presents itself to him for untrammelled action, will not stop short at putting the trade in sugar, and the peace of the Church, on more permanent and on broader bases. The opportunity for developing those liberal views of commercial and general policy which we give him full credit for really entertaining, is one such as may not offer to another English Minister for another century. He has fairly won his own position ; hitherto his efforts in it have been thwarted, not aided, by those whom he helped up the steep which he had climbed. Let him now call around him the mtn who will maks good against the united force of " The striking and spontaneous demonstration which the Conservative party has just given to Marshal Soult, President of the Council of Ministers, has decided the question which engrossed every mind. In simplifyi rg the position of the Ministry it has fixed its resolution. The Cabinet will not retire—Marshal Soult has solemnly pledged himself, in his own name and in that of h i s colleagues. The Conservative majority has exercised its rights, and done so constitutionally. It has declared itself without hesitation, and in an unequivocal manner. It has solemnly declared that there has been no diminu tion of its confidence and sympathy for the men who for four years have devoted all their efforts, all their IVlAriNiii.Y and U 0 VIMEMAAL NIL S.' (From The Sun of Saturday Evening.) A fair business was done in Cotton at Liverpool yes terday, and the market closed steadily.

There are not any arriVals in the City this morning of interest from the British Colonies. It is a matter of satisfaction that the settlements of the accounts in the Share markets have gone off so satisfactorily—not a single defaulter having been, as far as we are able to ascertain, announced. The amounts paid as differences were immense—indeed, so enormous, that money was raised to a compa ratively high point as to value ; notwithstanding there is a most abundant supply in the market for all purposes, commercial as well as speculative. There ap pears still a very strong disposition on the part of the public to invest capital in the various home, as well as in the French projected lines. We learn that satisfactory engagements have been made for carrying on the Bordeaux and Cette Railway, which the Government of France will, there is little doubt, be most ready to grant, as the names of the French as well as the London Board of Directors, are unexceptionable. There are reports of an amalga mation of the rival Companies for the Great Northern of France. The decisions of the Board of Trade re specting those English and Irish railways which are to be reported on favourably to Parliament, have, as may be seen by a referef.ce to the official list of prices of shares, induced a considerable amount of business, and at advanced quotations.

The transactions in the Railway Share Market have been conducted upon an animated scale to-day, and in almost all instances the values have advanced. The rise is really becoming somewhat fearful, at least should there be a reaction. The French lines are pretty sta tionary. ONE CLOSING PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK. PRICES.

T" 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, the Church, Taxa tion, Tariff Reform, with many others, give great interest, by antici pation, to the doings of the coming Session ; and the importance of a Journal which has proved, not only its intimate acquaintance with the policy of its own friends but with 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 he the best Family Newspaper extant, as it contains more carefully selected reading, as well in General Literature, Fashion, Science, and the Drama, as in News, Politics, and Miscellaneous Intelligence, than any other Weekly Journal.

Morning 17 minutes after 10 1 Evening .. 3 minutes after 11 l ari LONDON, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1845. The resolution to which the Irish Repeal Members have come of absenting themselves from Parliament during the session, is not likely to lead to any useful result, and, at the present time, is peculiarly inju dicious. Secessions of this kind have generally, perhaps always, proved failures, even when there ap peared to the defeated party no other chance of rousing public opinion or placing their oppressors in the wrong. The secession of Fox and his friends, when they had good reason to rebel against the tyrant majority of PITT, and had tried in vain every expe dient to arrest the progress of fatal measures, had no result. It was a nine days' wonder, soon forgotten by the public ; and the seceders, too, would soon have been forgotten, had they not repented of the rash act and returned to their duty. When Tory hatred of Irishmen was most rampant ; when the Catholic Church and her priests were abused and stig matised by the Tory press ; when the Lords threw out or mutilated every good measure car ried by the Commons for the relief of the sister island, and scarcely a ray of hope was left for that afflicted country, did Mr. O'CoNNELL believe that, by de serting his post, the oppressors w ou ld have halted ?

TILE EARL OF MORNINGTON.—We feel much pleasure in stating that the Noble Earl has rallied a little since Friday. His Lordship's physicians were in attendance early on Saturday. The reply to in quiries was, " His Lordship has passed a tolerably good night, and is rather better to-day." The calls of the nobility in Grosveaor•square on Saturday were unusually numerous. Mr. Mark Boyd and Mr. Samuel Browning, from Australia, had an interview on Saturday with Mr. Lefevre at the Board of Trade. There is reason to believe that the reports of the experimental trial of the screw propeller on board the Great Britain are so satisfactory to the Admiralty, that all steam-vessels to be constructed for the Royal Navy in future, will be propelled on that principle instead of the unsightly paddle wheels.—Hampshire Independent. We understand that Mr. Cobden, with a deputa tion of the League, have pledged themselves to visit Exeter next month, at which time the testimonial to Mr. R. R. Moore will be presented.— Western Times, Jan. 31.

The Lords Commissioners of her Majesty's Trea sury having communicated with the Board of Trade on The subject of the admission of oil scraps at the tallow greaves duty, and the Lords of the Committee for Trade having stated that oil scraps are not available for any other purpose than the manufacture of prussiate of potash, therefore recommended that the article should be admitted at the same duty as dog greaves. '['heir Lord ships have approved thereof, and have authorised the Commissioners of the Customs to give the necessary directions to the officers of the revenue to govern them , selves in future accordingly. ASHBURTON.—A MODERN WONDER.—One of the most extraordinary prodigies of railroad and printing dispatch has taken place this week that has ever been recorded from this town, viz., the working men's ad• dress to Mr. Matheson, relative to the silver snuff-box, together with Mr. M.'s answer, were sent off from the post-office here at half-past six o'clock on Sunday even ing last for insertion in the daily Sun, London news paper, and, wonderful to relate, on Tuesday morning, about seven o'clock, both documents, and a highly inte resting loading and appropriate article appeared in that journal, and arrived here, thus having traversed upwards of 400 miles, in addition to the process of composing, printing, &c.-IVe9Sern Times. DEATII or THE MARQUIS OF SLIGO.—The Dublin Evening Pos., announces the death of the Marquis of Sligo, an account of which reached Dublin on Thursday afternoon. The deceased was born in the year 1788, and married, in 1816, Lady Hester Catherine do Burgh, eldest daughter of the thirteenth Earl of Clanricarde.
