Proceeding shortly from persons to things, « What need is there for an addition to th e Upper House of Parliament?" We answer, with au expression of our fu'l belief, that no man in England is more alive to that necessity than Lord Grey himself, and that between his Lord ship and the ino , t zealous and eager peer-makers there is no difFerence but as to the stage of the Bill at which that right measure shall be adopted. It is true that a tone of greater confi dence has been employed within the last few days in respect of the second reading. We, on the contrary, have reason to believe that dangers will disclose themselves during that debate of a nature to prove to Lord Grey's conviction, if not touch to his satisfaction, that it might have been better for his Lordship had he taken the field at sunrise, instead of waiting for the afternoon.— Times.

That the entire complement of Shares proposed in the first instance, has been since greatly increased by the self nominated Directors, and that many more of such share have been issued than was originally intended, or than was announced to the Public; and that the Subscription Lis contains the names of many parties unable to fulfil their nngegements : and that an extensive assignment of shares of the said undertaking has been made.

That your Petitioners were especially induced to sub• scribe to the said undertaking, by reason of another and an independent project, for a Railway from Liverpool to Bir minghanr, intended to be connected with the said London and Birmingh am R a il way : that the said projected line from Lis erpool to Birmingham was repe itedly and strongly held out to your Petitioner s by the Directors in their ad vertisements and prospectuses, as an inducement to embark in the said project for a Railway between London and Birmingham. But your Petitioners beg leave to re• present to your Honourable House, that the said projected Railway b etween Liverpool and Birmingham havin been since abandoned, to the great detriment of the projected London and Bi rm i ngham line, the view', and opinion s of your Petitioners have accordingly undergone a consider able change.

Some weeks ago, in one of those many arti cles wherein our sentiments have been delivered undisguisedly with regard to the creation of Peers, we took an opportunity of adverting— not, as usual, to the proper time for making this increase to the Upper House of Parliament, but —to the classes of persons who might be pre sumed to furnish the fittest objects of the Royal selection. It was then stated as our opinion, that there existed no source whence a certain portion of members could be obtained for the House of Lords, in all respects less open to ex ception than the inert, or non-legislating, Peerage of Ireland and North Britain. if one leading difficulty in the way of such a measure has-been the aristocratical objection both of the House within doors, and of the Peerage generally, with in doors and without, that such an influx from the body of the community would cheapen and degrade their " order,"—here, in the expedient which we then proposed, and which as yet no adequate reason appears to us for aban doning,—here, we say, is a refuge for the Minister in his embarrassment, which may be well termed " a Godsend." Many among the non-voting Peers of Ireland and Scotland are heads of ancient and distinguished families in the empire. The Representative Peers for both these countries have, with but few exceptions, been chosen for the sake of their political subserviency to the Tory Governments under whose auspices they were recommended, and their pretensions encouraged. As a coun terpoise to such individuals, it would be but fair to bring into Parliament a draught of more liberal Noblemen from the existing, but now excluded, Peerage,—being at the same time men, where such can be found, of unblemished cha racter and independent fortune. That some of the Peers, by whose introduction the legislative body is to be augmented, ought to consist of those who are already members of the order, we deem but reasonable,-Ist, on a ground which is forcibly stated in the letter signed " Aristo crat," in this day's Times, namely, that however the respective Unions of Ireland and Scotland may have irritated the feelings of other classes of the community, upon the collective Peer age of both countries those events must have fallen with the severest pressure, in their dearest interests and constitutional rights. The Irish and Scotch Peers who happened not to be favourites with the Minister, were at once deprived of the privilege of legislation— the most precious inheritance of a nobleman of this empire ; and while they were degraded as Peers from their rank, they were, as ordinary subjects of the realm, disfranchised, no Irish or Scottish nobleman being permitted, by the acts of union, to sit among the gentlemen of his native country as a Member of the House of Commons. This undoubtedly forms a case of hardship, which was first, and not long ago, brought under public notice by Lord Ross more, and is now again referred to by Aristocrat," in a •letter which entitles its intelligent author to respect. But if there be a motive of justice, so is there one in policy, for resorting to such an expedient. There can then, quoad the mere introduction of pre-existing noblemen into the House of Lords (we speak strictly of affluent and reputable persons), —them e can, we say, be no pretence for the favourite, and at best but foolish, murmur about " swamp. ing the Lords by a deluge of plebeians." The " order"—the sacred " order," is still untouched, though all the outlying Peers of Ireland and Scotland were made Lords of Parliament within tour-and-twenty hours. We say little of the intrinsic wisdom of this argument, with regard to " swamping ;" but, such as it is, we have fur nished an answer, which admits of no evasion. Suppose two dozen of the new batch of Peers be taken from those who have borne coronets since or before their respective unions, will the stiffest oligarch, either Whig or Tory, venture to com plain of being thereby " swamped ?" I3ut what effect must their actual exclusion from privi leges which may be called time birthright of each Peer produce upon the minds of Irish non-re presentative Members of the Peerage, under cir cumstances in the general state of Ireland which are daily becoming more awful ? Is it in human nature for these Noble Lords to forget that it was the Union which ousted them from their own House of Parliament, and that a repeal or any more irregular dissolution of the Union would at once restore them to the high station of their ancestors ? And is this a time to our- Lie feelings silted to such regrets ? By draught ting some Members of the Irish excluded Peer age into the House of Lords, England would strengthen, through a natural and easy prOessal her bold over Irish sentiment. Of course the It was strongly rumoured yesterday about the Government offices that an immediate creation of Peers was to take place. The statement of a Morning Contemporary on the same day gave countenance to this report, if it did not create it originally ; but we understand, from an authority on which we place evert reliance, that the report itself is destitute of foundation. In the present agitated state of the public mind—for it is in vain to deny that considerable agitation exists on the subject of Reform Bill—surmises will break forth which are to be ascribed rather to the de sire than to the possession of information. On looking at the evidence of circumstances, we should he disposed to argue, even had we no in telligence to give our minds that bias, against the probability of any creation taking place before the second reading. The evidence to which we al lude particularly is the delay ; for we take the tact that no creation has yet taken place to furnish a strong presumption that none is intended to take place before time Bill shall have accomplished its next important stage. If it were intended to make Peers for the purpose of carrying the second reading, surely they would have been made be fore now. It is impossible to suppose that a man of Earl Grey's capacity and attainments could take a pleasure in sporting with the pub lic anxiety up to the last moment, or that he could expect to derive any advantage from sur prising both friends and foes by departing all at once from that course which his conduct had hitherto led them to expect. The delay, there fore, which has already taken place corrobo rates, so far as probable circumstances extend, the opinion that Ministers will go to the dis cussion on Monday next, relying upon the great principle of their measure, without playing any theatrical or pantomimic trick, for the pur pose of producing astonishment. We have so often expressed our opinion on the policy or rather the impolicy, of swamping the House of Lords, that we need scarcely repeat here our satisfaction at finding that it is not likely to be resorted to. Nor do we join with those of our contemporaries who augur the most fatal consequences to the Bill from the reluctance of Ministers to exercise an extreme power on the occasion. If the Minis ters be sincere, arid who is it that doubts their sincerity ? it is but reasonable to suppose that they know more of the facts connected with the prospects of the Bill in that House than we, or any of our contemporaries. With the advantage of that knowledge, have they not a right to de mand confidence, in the exercise of their dis cretion, even from those who are least scrupu lous of appealing to the prerogative ? It is con fessed upon all hands that Ministers have a most difficult card to play ; but whet her they are more in danger from the plots of their enemies, or the exertions of their friends, is a question by no means so clear as one would wish it to be at this critical moment of their fate. All rumours and speculations, however, will soon be brought to the great test of experience, when we hope the result will prove creditable to Parliament, and favourable to the security and happiness of the United Kingdom.—Morning Herald. If a Government is to be judged of by the condition of the people, as a tree by its fruits, the present Government of France must be deemed to be extremely deficient in those quali ties of statesmanship which are calculated to inspire e s p e u sof bc confidence and make a people happy—f or p u bli c di scontent , m i sery , commotionand bloodshed t havebee l ii f ti t e le m n i i n e i l s a t t r i y cl o to i l L y ract sway.its Philippe were positively devoted to the interests of the ex-Royal Family, they could not take more effective steps than they have hitherto done to make the vices of that family be forgotten, and to reinforce the ranks of the party which labours incessantly for their recall. With short intervals of repose, Paris has been a scene of emeutes and disturbances which would disgrace a semi -civilized country, and to this sort of in termittent turbulence it has been doomed ever since Louis-Philippe ascended the throne, bu more especially since Casimer Perier was intrusted with the reins of responsible government. It is a melancholy fact that, under the revolution ized Government of France, more blood has been shed in conflicts between the people and the military, than during the fifteen years of the restoration, if we except the three - days of r T e e si l s it t h an . c e to the ordinances in Paris which ended i n t h e d et h ronement o f Cha r les time Y c e a t r ss n ' a e ge d knowo of n t ohtose three if w da e ys, fur t w t recollect having seen a communicati,n from Lyons, sown except th e soon af.er the con - motions in that cit, i" which it was stated that a greater number (A persons, both citizens and soldiers, fell in the conflict between the workmen and the military than were slain during the memorable three The ruin with which our sugar colonies are threatened, and the extensive interests bound up with them in this country, could hardly fail to obtain for the meeting of yesterday a large and respectable attet.dance. It is, however, much easier to enlarge on the distress in our sugar colonies than to point out how that distress is to be remedied. The distress has a far deeper source than the Order in Council so much ani madverted on at the meeting. We are ready to admit that the Order in Council attempted what never can be done without injury—an inter ference of a third party between the slave and his master. We detest slavery ; but if it be suf fered to exist, uncontrolled power must be left to the master. The knowledge that he is en tirely in the power of the master will lead the slave to be anxious to possess his favour, and he will he cautious of giving offence to one who has in his hands the means of making him miserable. But the moment the slave is taught to look for protection elsewhere, he naturakv feels less disposition to seek the favour of his master ; while, on the other hand, the jealousy of the master will render him sensitive to every thing like an approach to questioning his autho rity. The causes of quarrel are thus multi plied, and the interference of the third party cannot supply the master with a succedaneum for the power of coercion of which he has been deprived. No man would think of re taining in his employment a servant with whom he was so touch at variance, that the interposition of a third party, as umpire between them, was necessary. The servant must feel that it is his interest to continue in his service, and the master can only rely for obedience on that interest. But the connexion between the toaster and slave is indisputable, and, as far as the mo tive to exertion, whatever diminishes that mo tive is irreconcilable with slavery. But with out dwelling on this, or on the objections which have been started to many of the regulations and allowances, it is admitted on all hands that the sugar colonies are threatened with ruin from other causes. The quantity of sugar raised in the old and ceded colonies exceeds greatly the consumption of this country. The monopol) of the home market can be of no use to the West Indians so long as they are obliged to look to a foreign market for the disposal of a great part of their produce. The price of sugar in the foreign market determines the price in the home market; for no man would sell sugar abroad at a lower price than that which he could obtain at home. The question, then, with the West Indians is simply this—can they afford to cultivate sugar for the remuneration obtained in the foreign market, in which they have to compete with foreigners? They cannot. The continuance of the slave trade enables the planters of Cuba and Brazil to have a larger pro portion of working negroes than can be had where the labour is carried on by a native popu lation. Mr. John Irving stated yesterday, at the meeting, that " One of the reasons why our colonies could not, since 1807, compete with foreign colonies was, that in those co•onies the slave trade existed, and consequently the pro portion of their labouring slave population to the plane and to the aged was much greater than in our own. Th, calculations which he had made exhibited the following results :—ln our colonies the labouring slave population was only thirty-three in a hundred, whilst in those where the slave trade was still carried on it amounted to sixty in a hundred. It was, therefore, impossible, until thi. odious and abominable traffic was in reality. and not nomi nally abolished, that the British eolonies could compete, in point of cheapness, with those of other countries." Canadians ; But there is another reason why the British Colonies cannot raise sugar at so low a rate as foreigners, though it seemed, by a sort of under standing, to be kept back yesterday. We allude to the monopoly given to the shipowners and our North American colonies, for the supply of lumber and various productions required in the West Indies. All these can be obtained by the planters of Cuba directly from the United States, and consequently cheaper than they can be ols.: tamed by the British planter. Yesterday, how ever, the mortgagee, the planter, the shipowner, and the Canadian, all appeared blended in a har monious union, seemingly eager to repel the idea, that there could he anything like a division of interests among them. This is all very well for the groundlings; but if the cost of pro d t(l.3.)lhh i ouo i eeb c u t tlipf i iiio o cirtiyri i se i cs,eih? w gaobis i luD l y l ,lid.) r otol iot allow the planters to compete with the planters of Cuba and Brazil, Sec., hoa tyer l b e x:otitleile t tialr i eni i st ; ittyto p ,hoa l eauf a tl r r i :Bhd t sd e oure r rmicr s tahsiemse t ,, o hli: is this evil to be remedied?

This, then, is the. 'secret or the ',,.. And 'rid 'llion of all these dtfferent bodies. Why, says he shipowner to the planter. should VV! qtrirrel ,hout increased cost of products ,n, tivb..ni John 3ull will make all good ? And Mr. Colville's irgurnent for John Bull taxing himself to enable h e British planter to sell che.:per sneer ahroad ban can be afforded by the Foreign planter, eliereby the price will also he rei•sel at home, s, that , without some remedy of the kind he elouted the colonies will he abandoned, aryl the .)rice of !war will ultimately become , r) high that the British public will he unable to purchase it. Things are confounded in the resolutions, vhich are by no means identical. It doiN not ior certain reasons follow, that. because a revenue of seven millions sterling is raised on the pro- Ince of the colonies, that that revenue is paid ')y the colonies. The truth is, that that revenue is raised from the people of Great Britain. If Cuba or Brazil, or any other country, supplied us with produce, that produce would be taxed it the same rate. With respect to the exoec .ations of manufacturers the case is different. We are ready to admit that, with a population uiperabundant, as ours is, denied the means of exchanging the produce of its industry fur food, ind, consequently, impeded in its foreign trade, lay sudden destruction of our West Indian mar ket might be injuriously felt at home. We could not or course buy sugar without selling iremufactures; and in proportion as we extended or purchases of colonial produce elsewhere, we should extend also the sale of our manufac tures; but, in the mean time, we admit that any sudden derangement woull he inju riously felt. Besides, the 5 widen impoverish .nent of numbers of rich individuals i:i this . •ountry would be felt most severely in the corn- . ,oercial world. We are certain, however, that the British people, however unwilliog to prod , o itate the ruin of the West Indian interesta, will never consent to bolster up by a system of boun- . ties, , ahich we see is the object aimed at, a mode of cultivation rendered unnecessarily expensive by absurd monopolies and restrictions. The Government may have cone too far in interfering with the slaves, and well-meaning men may have erred in believing that sugar could he cultivated by free labour in the West Indies at. a rate af fording an adequate return to the capitalist; but it is one thing to avoid interfering too much with the Colonies, and another to subject the people of Great Britain to a ruinous taxation to enable the colonists, and shipowners, and Ca nadians, to continue an unnecessarily expensive 'node of cultivation. 'We 1 with je i lousy on this unholy alliance.---Morrie g Chronicle. We know not what is the precise nature of the power iistrusted to Earl Grey. Of this, however, there can he no doubt, that if he have the power of creating Peers, and go to the second reading of the Reform Bill without availing himself of it, he most unnecessarily hazirds the Jeace of the country. No wife man, where such mighty interests are at stake, would leave any hing to chance. Where the safety of a fit eat nation is concerned, the confidence which in a private case might be magnanimous may be criminally rash. Alexander been extolled fir his confidence in his physician, after the information of his intention to poison him ; but a Minister, though he may expose himself to peril, has no right to exotse the nation to any that can be avoided. Believing that Ministers would not fight the enemy with inadequate means, if adequate means were at their com mand, we were led to attach confidence to the information, which we received from more than one source, that they intended to create one batch of Peers before the second reading. It will soon be seen whether or not we have been ;nisinforined. We are sure that Peers ought to be made ; and if the Bill be read a second time with out them, we shall not the less be of that opinion. A general who unnecessarily exposes himself to the chance of defeat is not the less blamable no cause chance favours him.—Mornin-! Chronicle. A Nlinisterial Paper of yestecduy gives a list of fourteen persons whose advancement to the l'eerage is to -be announced in the Gazette of this evening. For this statement we have reason to nelieve there is not the slightest foundation. Whatever Earl Grey's ultimate intentions may be in this respect, we are welt assured that be has not yet determined upon the odious meisure of creating New Peers, for the accomplishment of what he has himself unequivocally admitted to be a grossly illegal and unt•onstitutional pur pose. The following paragraph from the Globe gives a quietus to the statement of our Morning Contemporary : At a late h iur, and after writing what appears else where, we are enabled to say that our re.pec:ab e Contem porary, the Morning Chronicle, generally well inf firmed and cautious, is certainly mistaken on the subject of a erettion of Peer.. The Gazette of to-morrow is not likely to contain the IIaMOM of any new Peers, nor have we the sli 4 htest reason to believe that there will be any creation before the second reading of the Reform Bill. Wsien such an event does take place it will not be to the limited extent which our Contemporary imagines. To create so few would only be in fact to insure the destruction of the fill, as we have reason to believe that a mirth greater number of proxies has been given conditionally —th,t is, to be used against the Bill, instead of for ir, if Peers are created before the second re ding. One or more of the names in the lust furnished by the Chronicle are those of persons who are understood o he untriendly to the Bill; and certainly many are !milted who would, from their taleets asd public spirit, as well as fortune, do honour to the brit of those whom •is Majesty could not distingu'sh mnre satioactnrily than by enabling them to assist in the completien of the great and necessary work which cannot be much longer delayed without danger to all the ituititiatio.ts ef the oauntry. It for the existing House of Peers to determine whether to t•-em in their present state shall belong the high and die. inguis!ied honour of restoring peace sad harmony to the country, by doing that freely and speedily which all re- Electing persons know must b- done at no distant period. So far as the second reading goes, there is, we hear from he best authority, no reason to doubt a satisfactory result of the debate and division. Beyond this we believe all is t present uncertainty, except as the country can rely on , he King and the Government, who can have bat one de ,ire, as they have but one interest; and that is, to .dept he most decisive and conclusive measures, if their just ex. d ectatious should in any respect meet with disappoint tent "—Morning Post.
