The progress of the free trade question during the last six years has been im mense. Six years since, and a small room in an hotel is Palace-yard was more than sufficient for the accorimodation of the corn-law repealers. Last night Covent-garden Theatre was crowded to excess by men enthusiastic in the cause of corn-law repeal ; and thou sands of staunch free traders who were somewhat lata in their attendance, were obliged to go away in consequence of the want of sufficient room for their accommodation. It was our intention to have given a short review of the progress of the ques tion of commercial freedom during this period, but we find, on reading the report of the proceedings of Last night's meeting, that the subject has been so admirably treated by the Chairman, Mr. WILSON, that we ahall not do more than refer our readers to that gentleman's opening speech. We sincerely con • gratulate our fellow free traders on the immense advance which the question has made, and we beg to urge upon every individual who is theoretically a free trader, the necessity of reducing his theory to practice, by investing himself with the franchise without loss of time. " Qualify ! Qualify ! Qualify !" When every free trader shall have qualified himself 111 au elector, the knell of monopoly will have rung out. It will be reckoned among the things that have been. The Orangemen, or Protestants, or Conservatives— or whatever other alias they please to give themselves —of Ireland are beginning to get up an active and clamorous demonstration against the Government Education Scheme. We stated some time ago in The Sun that this would be the case, for the symptoms of discontent among these impracticable partisans have long been manifest, and nothing has prevented them from breaking out into open mutiny against the PEEL AdrniniStratiOn but the disagreeable conviction which they entertain, that, by so doing, they will be weaken ing themselves, and playing the game of O'ComiELL and the Whigs. But their discontent has now reached 3uc4i height that they can no longer keep it under. Speak out,• tbarmust and will, no matter at what THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 16 1845. cost to the Conservative cause, which they pro fess to have so much at heart ; and accordingly a numerous party, headed by the Lord Primate and not less than thirteen of the Irish Protestant Bishops have just issued a declaration on the subject of, what they call, the " Education of the Poor in Ireland," the system of which, as pursued under the sanction of Government, they denounce in no unequivocal terms, objecting to it, inter alia, that it gives undue prominence to secular, to the depreciation of religious, instruction ; that it evinces a disregard of the position and claims of the clergy of the Established Church ; and that its obvious tendency is to throw the direction of national education into the hands of the priesthood of the Church of Rome. For these and other reasons, some of which they enter into at most wearisome length, the Lord Primate and the thirteen episcopal joints of };is ghostly Tail have come to the resolution of offering every opposition in their power to the Ministerial plan of Irish education ; and not only this, but they call on their " brethren in the faith" in England to make common cause with them—in other words, to embark in an energetic crusade against reason, toleration, and liberality. If the spirit of dull, idiotic—though no doubt conscientious—bigotry is thus actively roused against the education system as it is now carried on in Ireland, how much more rabid will be the frenzy when Sir ROBERT PEEL ex plains his project for the better instruction of the Irish youth, to which he briefly alluded towards the I close of the last session, and for which allusion, informed as it was with a just and liberal spirit, he received the approbation of all the more impartial and enlightened Members of the House of Commons ! That which is now merely a brisk gale will then become an outrageous hurricane. All the elements of wrath will be let loose against, the head of the unhappy Premier, and he will he the mark at which unrelenting bigotry will let loose her envenomed shafts, as was the case when he decided on the bold and equitable experiment of surrendering his own party prejudices and conceding Catholic Emancipa tion. But Sir ROBERT PEEL has, no doubt, made up his mind to bear the brunt of the battle, and will no mare be turned from his course—having, to all appearance, already made up his mind as to the course he shall pursue—than the moon will be turned from her path by the baying of the dogs. Indeed the Premier has no alternative left but to persevere in the liberal course of Irish policy to which he alluded last session. To halt or to go back, is to involve himself or his colleagues in ruin—aye, and not only this, but it is to arm Mr. O'CoNNELL with tenfold moral influence over the minds of his easily-persuaded countrymen, and give an impetus to the Repeal ques tion greater—a thousand times greater—than any it has yet received. Imagine, for an instant, Sir Ro- Tim PEEL taking fright at the long wolfish howl ot the Irish Protestant bigots, backed by their English brethren, and disappointing public expectation by entering—in opposition to his pledge—on a retrograde course of policy as regards Ireland ! 'What will— nay, what must be, the inevitable consequences of such vacillating conduct? Why, just this—namely, that the liberal party in the sister-country, dis heartened and disgusted with the Minister's political cowardice—not to call it treachery—will turn a most willing ear to the oily blandishments of the Repeal agitators than they yet have deemed it right or dis creet to do ; and where there is now but one Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN, there will spring up at least a hundred in half-frenzied Ireland ! The Repeal question being grounded in delusion can only become really dangerous when the English Government shrink from their obvious duties, and condescend to play the part of trimmers. They have the power of putting an extinguisher upon it whenever they please—far what, after all, is Repeal, but the loud voice of land's despair ?—but when that despair is changf.al by wise and salutary measures of legislation into hope and confidence, the clamour gradually dies away into insignificance, common sense resumes the ascendancy so long usurped by passion, and the delusion of a domestic Parliament is made manifest to all Irishmen endowed with the slightest faculties of reflection. With Sir ROBERT PEEL it rests to decide whether the sister country shall be one with us, indissolubly united to us in the bonds of affection and mutual in terest, or whether she shall still continue to be— what she has been for so many ages—a thorn rankling in our side—a living ulcer preying on our vitals. We cannot doubt the course he will pursue—though we have no very lively faith in his firmness—for he has already pledged himself to a certain line of Irish policy, and he cannot back out of such pledges, but to the utter ruin of his character as a British statesman. The equivocal, temporising, timid, and in all re spects unsatisfactory letter of the Archbishop of CAN TERBURY, fully bears out our worst suspicions of the course that would be adopted at Lambeth Palace. If the letter bears any stamp whatever, it is the stamp of Puseyism. This, in fact, is the only intelligible part of it. The Puseyite Bishops are praised for their endeavours to enforce the rules of the rubric ; and the people of Exeter, Berks, and Tottenham, are upbraided for not obeying these high dignitaries. " To prevent the increase," says his Grace, " of an evil which might terminate in actual schisms was con fessedly most desirable; and the most effectual mode of accomplishing the object, it has been thought, would be found in general conformity to the rubric. Universal concurrence in this easy and obvious regulation would have combined the several advantages of securing compliance with the law of the Church and the land, of putting a stop to unauthorised innovations, and of excluding party distinctions, in their character de cidedly unchristian, from the public worship of GOD ; and I cannot but regret that measures which, with a view to these good purposes, have been recommended by high authorities, should not have been received with unanimous acquiescence, as the means of restor ing order and peace, without any departure from the principles of the Church, or offence to the most scru pulous conscience." The rest of the letter contains nothing and settles nothing. The venerable old man seems sadly puzzled between the dangers to the Church on the one hand, from the resistance of the laity to Romish customs, and the arguments of the Puseyite Bishops in favour of the supreme authority of the Church on the other. The people will now see that they must trust to them selves. Madrid journals of the 7th have been received. On that day the;Senate resumed the consideration of the Bill for the suppression of the slave-trade, and ulti mately adopted it without any material alteration. The Chamber of Deputies was engaged in discussing the Clergy Dotation Bill. The Three per Cents. closed at 31 for cash, and 31; at 60 days ; the Five :per Cents. at 23i' i at 60 days ; the Floating Debt at 76 for cash ; and the titles pro ceeding from the conversion of the Foreign Debt, 22i at 60 days. The French Chamber of Peers commenced the dis cussion on the Address in reply to the King's Speech on Monday. Count MoLs, evidently anxious to ac quit himself of the charges brought against him in reference to the coalition against the Government, com menced the debate, and denied, in the strongest terms, that he had contributed in any way to intrigues fo r a change of Ministers. While he made this declara tion, he at the same time asserted that he entirely disapproved of the general policy pursued by M. GUIZOT, and more particularly of those parts of it which involved negotiations on the affairs of Otaheite and the right of search. On the latter subject the Ministry had deceived the Chamber and the country, which had been led to believe that active measures were in progress for altering the system, while, for ought they knew, nothing whatever had been done. He would, at the same time, state that no modifica tion—no alteration of the treaties of 1831 and 1833 would satisfy the country. They must be totally abrogated, and a total change of system take place. As regarded Otaheite, the Minister had shown the same wavering and dilatory disposition, and on every point had shown a readiness to yield to England. These are very general phrases, and M. GulzoT treated them as such, briefly announcing that, when the proper time came, he would be able to show that the statements made by the Noble Peer were without foundation. The papers are chiefly occupied in remarks on the documents just published respecting the rude treatment and expulsion of Mr. PRITCHARD from Otaheite. They have little or nothing to say against the course adopted by M. GrizoT, for indeed he appears to have come off best in the negotiations between England and France, but still the Opposition journals must find blame somewhere, and they accordingly fall foul of Count JARNAC for his English prepossessions, and the timidity which he displayed in his interviews withiLord A BERDEEN. The Courrier Francais says he leant to the English side because he had married an Englishwoman. The following are the remarks of the National:—" It is evident to any one who has read the dispatches pub lished in the Journal des Debats of Sunday, that we have not in them any of the important details re lating to the negotiations between the French and English Governments. All that is communicated to the Chambers is confined to the correspondence be tween Count DE JARNAC and M. GUIZOT. But what part does this M. DE JARNAC perform ? Read his letters. They are not diplomatic !votes, they are police reports. He writes to M. GUIZOT. M. GUIZOT does not reply to him. The t one of his correspondence is that of a man who speaks only of strong apprehensions, the impatience of the English Government, formidable extremities, &c. It is impossible not to he cruelly affected by this lan ,- wage of a trembler, who was anxious to conclude the affair, and who dilates complacently on the pre tended grievances both of PRITCHARD and of the tiglish people, demonstrating himself to be an agent more occupied with his own true or pretended alarm tt an with the rights of his nation, or with the in te rests or the dignity of hilcountry. Endeavour to frud any sentiment of nationality. Fear prevails in every one of his phrases! M. GUIZOT has in Count )E JARNAC an auxiliary worthy of him." The Presse, in reference to the critical state )f affairs at one period last summer says— 'L In those documents are to be found the explicit :onfirmation of two serious facts which the Presse Lnnounced to its readers so far back as the end of August last, on the authority of its private corre spondent at London, and which the Ministerial journals denied with the utmost obstinacy. We an nounced that the intention of the British Cabinet had ;been during some days to send back Mr. PRITCHARD to Otaheite, where he was to have been re-established by fair means, or by force of arms, and to recal Lord CowLEY. The dispatches of Count JARNAc place 'these two circumstances beyond all doubt. The - public, therefore, may perceive what little value there is to he attached to Ministerial contradictions." We find no additional information in the papers - .respecting the probable fate of the Ministry. Every -thing, it is now admitted, depends on the Court, and :as MONTALIVET has declared his opposition to the :Ministry, the Opposition naturally believe that he - would not have ventured on such a step without "being properly backed. The following are extracts from the continental lavers : The Committee on the Address in the Chamber of Deputies has terminated its deliberations. It will meet 'on Tuesday to hear the rough draft read, and it is thought that M. 116bert, who has been charged to draw it up, will present it to the Chamber in a public sitting on Wednesday, or at least on Thursday. The Phare of Bayonne of the 10th states, that several Spaniards who had taken part in the revolt of the val- Reys of Anso and Hecho, and taken refuge in France, - lave been, on their return to Spain with passports given to them by the Spanish Vice-Consul at Oleron, in virtue of the decree of amnesty published in their favour, thrown into prison on their arrival in their own country. The Alyerie gives the following account of treatment, by the Emperor of Morocco, of the Moors who betrayed his cause after the defeat of Isly :—" The Emperor has inflicted a degrading punishment on the chiefs who took an active part in the pursuit of his army after the battle of Isly, and in the plunder of Souirra, after the bom bardment of that city. He has ordered their beards to be shaved off; and, do not let us be imagined to speak figuratively, this was done with the razor of the barber, and not with the yatagan of the executioner." We learn from Berne that, on the 9th instant, Count tie Pontois, the French Ambassador in Switzerland, left Berne, on a temporary visit to Zurich, in order to make diplomatic communications to the new Directory. The New Zurich Gazette of the 10th inst. states, that the Council of State of the Vorort (Zurich) assembled , on the 9th in consequence of dispatches received from the canton of Lucerne. According to those dispatches ' much excitement prevailed. Alarming accounts had , likewise been received from the canton of Argovia. The Government of Lucerne was continuing to fortify Gutsch at the point where it commands the city. Three batta ' lions of the militia had likewise been called to arms. The Bask Gazette states, that in the canton of Argovia a force of 14,000 men was collecting to make a new ex pedition into the canton of Lucerne. At the sitting of the Grand Council of Lucerne, held on the 7th, a decree was passed whereby all the ex penses of the Government in securing the arrest of the authors of the late revolution, and in carrying into effect the measures resolved upon for its suppression, are to be paid out of the property of the delinquents. All persons implicated in the revolt are declared incapable of dis posing of any part of their property. THE BOURSE—MoNDAr, JAN. 13. First Highest Lowest Last Price. Pile*. Price. Price.

From , Mexico, however, the accounts received by commercial houses in the City are distressing. The revolutionary movements there had all but suspended general transac tions. The following is a graphic version of the " doings" in Mexico, as sent to us from that city. Con gress was suspended by a proclamation of several of the principal Ministers, and Santa Anna appointed a Dictator, with full power to act without:appeal ing to any council; but, on the 6th of December, the Congress assembled in defiance of the Dicator, and appointed Don Jose J. de Herara as President of the republic. The new President instanter issued a decree, calling on the inhabitants to uphold him. The palace was taken possession of, and the Ministry took to flight. The fate of Santa Anna would be sealed if arrested ; but, up to the latest dates, no blood was shed. Advices of Nov. 23 have been brought by her Ma jesty's ship Pelican from the Cape of Good Hope, but there are only one or two papers in town from the fron tier to the 14th. Matters were quiet there, and agricul tural affairs were going on prosperously. At Natal the Volksraad seems as good at a debate as our own senators are, and as regards the British Government, many of the members exhibit decided disaffection, and a determination to take none of the responsibility of the treaty with Colonel Cloete. A slight retrograde movement has occurred in the Funds this morning. Consols for the Account opened at 1001-, and are now at 100 A, ; but Consols for immediate transfer are at 1004. Reduced Three per Cents. have been quoted at 1001 and at 104 The New Three-and a-Quarter per Cents. are 4 per cent. above par. 'l'he premium on Exchequer Bills has fluctuated from 595. to 61s. Bank Stock for the Account is at 21.21. Very few bargains were made in the Foreign Funds this morning. Mexican Five per Cents. have been done at 341 for the Account. The Portuguese Converted are rather heavy at 591, Spanish Five per Cents. at 264 8, the Three per Cents. at 37i t, and the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 63k. It would appear that a contest is likely to arise for the contract for the Great Northern of France Railway, the Messrs. Rothschilds Brothers having undertaken the formation of a list. Numerous applications lusve already been made. In some quarters a belief is entertained that a junction between the contending capitalists would be a most beneficial circumstance, and probably such an operation might be brought about. The shares of the Great Northern of France have just been done at 1:1 premium. The market for the English railways is very buoyant to-day ;in almost every instance prices have advanced, and'an immense amount of business has been transacted. Those new lines that have been re ported in favour of by the Commissioners in last night's Gazette, have been in good demand. PRICE OF BRITISH FUNDS AT ONE O'CLOCK (From the Official List.)

PETERSBURGII, DEC. 31.—1 t is affirmed that the chief direction of the war against the moun taineers will be confided to General Yerrnolaw, who has not been employed since 1826, and who formerly distinguished himself in that command by his energy and success. _ _ _ BERLIN, JAN. 6.—Accounts just received from St. Petersburgh speak of a very serious indisposition of the Emperor, and a very extraordinary movement in the Russian Legation here seems to confirm this re port, which has also come from other respectable quarters. According to the accounts, the national Russian party is gaining more and more influence in the Government, and comprehensive plans are sa;d to be contemplated not only to exclude foreigners from all important posts in the public service of the State, but alsO to limit as much as possible the German element in the Baltic provinces. It is not to be expected that this plan will soon succeed ; the most powerful protection of the German interests is the Imperial Family itself, in which a national inclination to the country of their ancestors will never be wholly extinguished, notwithstanding all patriotic sentiment respecting Russia. FROM THE DANUBE, JAN. 2.—We learn that the Russian Government has at length given the assu rance that in the course of next year the channel of the mouth of the Danube shall be deepened, that the largest ships may pass without danger.

We have late accounts from Canada to-day, brought by the Halifax and Boston steam. ship, which, in refe rence to the health of Sir Charles Metcalfe, we may state with some confidence that the return of his Excel lency to this country is all but a settled point. At the same time, it ought to be mentioned that the ru mours so freely circulated in this country that Sir Charles's life was in most imminent danger, is not founded in fact. By this arrival we have a return exhi biting the nett revenue of the province of Canada for the last financial year; also, an abstract of the expendi ture for the same period; all of which appear to be of a very satisfactory! nature. On January 31, last year, there was a balance in favour of the Consolidated Fund of 115,505/. 2s. 104 d. The interest payable upon the public debt of the province is now not far short of 100,0001. per annum, exclusive, we believe, of the amount due for the loans raised here, and guaranteed by our Government, for completing public work in the colony, and to pay the expenses of fresh roads, canals, &e. It may be asserted with confidence, that the Canadas are in a very healthy state. In general the position of the emigrants who reached Canada last year, amounting to 20,000 men, women, and children from Europe, was good. The markets for agricultural produce in the Canadas appear to be well supported. From the United States the present advises, in a mar- FLANDERS - MAIL. BRUSSELS, JAN. 12.—His Majesty presided in a Coun cil of Ministers, and attended Divine worship in the chapel of the palace. The Minister of the Interior has just appointed a com mission, of which M. Kindt is president, to inquire what are the best means of preventing fires, or of checking their progress. The shares of the General Society have experienced, in the last six weeks, a rise of nearly 150 f., which does not seem likely to stop there, for every day there are applications for shares, which cannot be purchased at the quoted prices. M. Dethuin, a notary, of Mons, has just acted with a degree ;of disinterestedness which deserves to be made known. Madame Herendal bequeathed to him her whole fortune, amounting to 50,000 f., to the prejudice of her brother. M. Dethuin has declined this legacy in favour of the lady's brother.

LADT CECILIA FARRENCOURT.—The new novel from the pen of Mr. Milton (the brether of Mrs. Trol lope), entitled "Lady Cecilia Farrencourt," has just appeared ; and it cannot be better characterised than by saying that it manifests an equal amount of humorous power and strong life-like .portraiture of character as distinguished the productions of the author's. celebrated sister. It is full of truth and reality. There is genuine comedy in some of the scenes of the latter part of the work—that, for instance, where the Earl of Farrencourt tries to break off the match between his niece and Alnutt, and that at the way-side inn, after the elopement, ' where the country apothecary mistakes the antiquated virgin for a wife. " Lady Cecilia Farrencourt" is cer tainly 'the most amusing novel that has appeared for a rug time. EXTE/ISIVE FIRE.—On Tuesday morn ing, between the hours of three and four, a fire, attended with it con siderable destruction of property, broke out in the spa cious coach and carriage manufactory belonging to Mr. John•Waude, at the corner of the' New and Old Kent roads. The premises, - which were three stories high, were composed principally of wood, and at the time of the outbreak contained property to the value of several . hundred pounds. The discovery was made by a Police-constable, who perceived smoke issuing from one of the painting lofts. Mr. Waude, with his family, who were sleeping in an adjoining house, were instantly aroused. It then became apparent from the strong hold the fire had obtained, that nothing could prevent the complete destruction of the manufactory. The po lice and neighbours, therefore, set to work, and by great exertion, they succeeded in removing from the show-rooms a large number of coaches, the fire at the time was falling through the floorings upon their heads. The engines soon arrived, and, being well supplied with water, copious streams were thrown upon the blazing pile, in spite of which the fire continued to sp rea d most fearfully, so much so, that at one time it was appre. hended that the flames would reach the King's Arms, and other contiguous buildings, they having already fired the back part of one of the houses in Pitt's-place. By five o'clock, however, the flames began to assume a less frightful aspect, and in the course of another half es:tinguished. By th l t period 11 , :er the fire was sP , fel. , the store-room, the three painters' lofts, counting-house, and show-room were entirely consumed. Fortunately Mr. Waude was insured.

HER MAJESTY'S VISIT to STOWE. • BUCKINGRAM, TUESDAY EVENING. Here, and all along the line of road from the Wolverton station, at the villages of Stony Stratford and Deanshangar, and indeed at every hamlet and farm-house, everybody seems to be in a perfect fever of bustle, preparing for the great doings to-morrow. • At Wors'erton tO-day crimson cloth was being laid down upon the platform, and the usual preparations making throughout the station tor the. royal reception.. lip wards of,a dozen of triumphal arches, in various stages of progress, some nearly fleshed with evergreens and ivy, and others still only ske etons of . poles, spanned the road from Wolverton to Buckingham, at various.points. The loyal citizens of Stony Stretford were as busy as bees wreathing sign-posts' and lamp-posts, and windows, and doors, with green garlands, and displaying, to the best advantage, painted mottoes and escutcheons. The Bucks Yeomanry, which is to form the escort from Wol. verton to Stowe, are already under arms, and quartered some here and some at Stony Stratford. The good folks of Buckingham are working away manfully to deck out their town to the best advantage. The principal street is a perfect litter of ivy and evergreens—there are as many loyal mottoes as signs —green arches meet your eye at every turning—flags are suspended from the windows of the principal hotels and houses—from the Town-hall and steeples, and all the raw materials for to-morrow evening; illuminations—namely; lamps and oil, are being arranged in the forms, and to produce the effects, usual upon these occasions. The town is already much crowded. The peasantry from the neighbouring districts have flocked in, and are parading wonderingly about the streets—their smock frocks, and little round white hats, contrasting pleasantly with the gay uniform of the yeomanry, who are also sauntering here and there and everywhere. A number of stands have been erected for spectators, and about I,BOR charity children from the surrounding country have had places provided for them to see the show. Shops,.&c., are to be shut to-morrow at twelve o'clock. The procession toJneet her Majesty will form at: one. In the evening the town will be illu minated, and on Thursday night there will be a great display of fireworks. At Stowe everything is ready for the reception of her Majesty. The state apartments have been duly fitted up, and are gorgeous in the extreme, studded with every article of luxury, art, and vertu. About one half of the house, or rather palace—the west wing--will be exclu sively set apart for the accommodation of her Majesty and the Prince. Among the guests expected to be pre sent are—Sir Robert Peel, Lord Aberdeen; ' and Sir James Graham. With the exception of one night, the number of the party to be invited, will not exceedfOrty. There is to be no ball. Prince Albert will probably enjoy some battu shooting in the Duke's preserVeS. M.
