ING ET:iiITION -- - we worth had declared against, a fixed dot" and in favour of . th..c.t . fluctuating one ; yet though thet Right Hon, isaronet had been very ingeninus last Session in upsetting the_ argas ments of opponents to the Corn-laws, he bad been somewhat ambiguous in the defence of the existing system. No w consi&ring the high position which the Right.. Poironet occupied in the country, and the number of tio should indi viduals who took his opinions on these grounds, _e have distinctly laid down whether he meant to stand \ by the present system as it was, or consent to any— and; if any, to what, modifications.—(Hear, hear, hear.) He put it to the Right Hon. Gentleman, whether he would suffer this year to pass without an explicit. declare_ t ion of his opinions on the subject. He thought the con dition of the farmer under the present Corn-laws was one which the Legislature should lose no time in remedying; 1 and when he had read , in the petitions presented to the ) Howse in favour of the Corn-laws, the many arguments i the petit:toners urged—hwhen he heard them say they had , entered into contracts depending on the existing Corn lawv—he did say the sooner this uncertainty and fallacious , system was abandoced the better. The Noble Lord op seosite had complained of lhe agitation on this subject, but he forgot that four or five years ago the agriculturists I were themselves agitators. In 1834, 1835, and 1836 they Iwere the persons complaining. It can be proved that the Corn-law had by no means operated in producing the beneficial results that were attributed to it; and when he reflected or, the price of corn, fluctuating as it had done from 735. to 365., he did say to make contracts under such uncertainty appeared to him a most serious evil to the 1 farmer who made it, whatever it might be to the Landlord who received it. There was much about this very grave and impnrtant question in which he was in some doubt, principwliy in reference to its bearing upon manufactures. He %%as deeply sensible that this was a most important be ,ring, but he knew there were sa many gentlemen pre- 1 I sent more co m p e t en t t o d ea l w ith that question than hhn self, he should leave it in their heeds; but ho was quite fconvinced that, by delaying the peril attending it would greatly increase from year to year. Without meaning in any way to exaggerate: the statements of those who said that all the distress of the country arose from the Cora-laws, he was still prepared to maintain that the Corn-laws did overate as a concurrent cause of that Idistress, and that. eney did operate in a degree which a more extensive range with foreign countries would modify. When he contemplated the way in which this questioe was ditfusing itself over the mines of the whole comniunite s he thought that House would not be too on .ek in removing so foul a blot as the Core-laws from a legislation, believing them, as he did, to be founded on injustice and productive of great and serioue evil and (affecting very seriously not only the p resen t h u t t h e f uture prosperity of the country. Mr. D'ISRAE LI said the Hon. Members had based the greater part of their arguments upon our foreign policy. He must protest against any principle of this importance being decided by a mere abstract principle of political leconomy. It must depend upon the circumstances in which nations were situated. The Hon. Member for Wolver hampton had announced that the Prussians were ready to deal with us on th e b as i s o f a repeal or an extens i ve modi -1 fication of the Corn-laws, but the Hun. Gentleman 1 had assumed that which he was much disposed to question. It would be necessary to bear in mind the state of Ger many at the fall of Napoleon. The House would remene ber the gre a t di s ti nct i on b etween the kingdom and enoalre i of France; that the restrictive principle of the Freech Em peror extended over a terrtiory of great extent—over Bel gium, Poland,and the extensive regions of Germany. The Germans were much e:liscontented at this restric iye policy. Senultaneous with Oen fall of Napoleon, a memoir was deli ! livered to the Catainet of Berlin, which, as it was never Feinted, perhape the House would allow him to read. The '.lon. Nleenber proceeded to say, that that extraordi nars document comprised the whole policy of the German I eir hire, and that embraced the system of education which l' ad since been established in Prussia, and which would probably be soon extended to the entire German empire. Twenty years had elapsed since the German Union had been completed, and during that period no year had elae.sed in which diplomatic communications bad not taker. place hoe tween Berlin and the minor States, which now fnrined part of the Commercial Lea cue which :wad net 'been en. tered into until the month - of Januare, 1834. [The Hon. Member here rna'de sonte assertions respecting the League, t re nature or :purpos t of which we were wholly unable to , catch.' He had last rear obtained a copy of a corn:- spendence which bad taken place between the Prussian Court as el the minor States of Germany, which he had, since t' ,at time, shown to several Members of the House. Ha r ,ould extract from that correspondence to show the r,e l ' tive proportions of our exports and imports to Prussia V. late years. The amount of our imports from that coun try in 1834 was 734,000 L ; in 1838 they amounted to 1,718.0004 Our exports to Prussia in 1834 amounted to 509,0001. ; in 1838, after the league had been Nur years in operation, they amounted to .584,000/. tin that both is our exports and imports with Prussia there had been a considereale increase in the period he had referred to. With respect to Abe Hanle Towns the average amount of !) 11 ( r t; eariy i m p orts was 1,500,000/. ; in 1838 it was nearly 2 YJO,OOOI. The amount of our exports to the Hansa Towns in 1834 was 4,500,0001. ; in 1835 it was 5 , 5 04,000/. ; in 1836 it was 4,437,000/ ; in 1837 it I was 4 ,487,000/., and in 1838 it was 4 943,000 There had thus been an increase since the year 1834 in our commerce with those parts of Europe I also. Our commerce had also improved with Belgium and Holland. Oar exports to Belgium in 1834 amounted to 1 3,220,0C,04 in 1838 they amounted to 4,367,0001. The \tact %sees that our co m m erce w i t h B e l g i um was never i n so heal' . by a state as at present, though that country had been , ret e resentectsby Hon. Gentlemen opposite as the great ma / r.ufacturing rival of England. They had always heard great stress laid on the development of industry in the Nether lands, and that subject bad been strongly alluded to by Mr. Cochrane, who was called " the Iron King." The truth, however, was, that the industry of Belgium was al most absolutely extinguished, and there was little demand for commercial produce in that country since its sever ance from Holland. Such was the true condition of things in a country, which had been put forward as the great rival of this country.—( Hear, hear, hear.) The Hon. Member compared the situation of Holland in i the year 1670, when England ceased to be a corn-export -1 ing c/Juntry, with the position which England held at pre sent.. In that year Holland had her Ambassadors at every lrnportant Court in th e wor ld, an d b oaste d t h at if h er own I 'soil was inadequate to sustain her population, Europe was' her granary. In a century after, he learned from a book which he found in the library of the House, in 1770 the Dutch were in the greatest distress for bread, the other countries of Europe, including Great Britain, being unable to send them the necessary supply of corn. This (we un derstood him to contend) ought to show, that however we might modify the Corn-laws, we could not secure the ve rification of the presumptuous boast that England was the workshop of the world. Do what we would, other nations would compete 'with us in commerce and manufactures. Say what you ltlce of the German League, it was the work of Russia, tir e power which governed Germany, through the medium. of Prussia. If it were not for Russsia, Prus sia would have remained all her life a third-rate power. He hoped if he had not made out, that he had indicated the mode by which his proposition might be established, that. the German Commercial Union was essentially of a political nature as regarded Prussia, and that practically $ the Tariff of the Union was not' working injuriously to wards England; and that, as regarded the League gene rally, the commerce of this country was in a prosperous state. As it regarded Holland and Belgium, he believed that the commerce of England never was more sound or prosperous than it was at present. Mr. LABOUCHERE said that on every occasion on which the present Corn-laws were not before the House, he had constantly voted for their revision ; but he had al weiss beard the arguments so much better stated than he noitid have stated them, that he did not think it necessary to trespass upon the House; and he should not do so now, if it were not for the situation which he held, connected so i so closely as it was with the trade and manufactures of the Icountry.. Holding that situation, he felt it was due from him to the House to say a few words, and he could assure the House they should be short. The Hon. Gentleman who had just sat down bad thought it necessary to warn the House against fostering and encouraging the notion among the people that England was the workshop of the world. He thought the country was well entitled to that appellation considering the indomitable perseverance of its manufac turers, and the difficulties and obstacles they bad bad to contend with.—( Cheers.) The manufacturers of the country bad placed England in the highest station among the nations of the world. He believed that the prosperity of this country depended in a very great degree upon its foreign commerce, and he was sure, notwithstanding what hadbeen stated byithe Hon. Gentleman who had just down, that the great majority of thsn House would agree with . \him that it was their duty to foster and encourage the ma nufactures o f th e country by every possible means in their power. He would now come to the question immediately before the H ouse . li e was opposed strongly to thee Y system of the C orn -l aws as they at present exist d because he thought th ey h ad kept none of their promises ' Those promises wer e stea di ness of price and uniform, i trade.—( Hear.) Now h e t h ought he need not tell the fMuse, that during the twelve years previous to the present law, the greatest fluctuation of prices took place. Mr. Canning, although he did not actually pro- pose the Bill which they were now called upon to consider, was in a great measure responsible fur it, and under it he , did not expect that the price of corn would oscillate more than from 555. to 653. Now, what had been the fact? Why, he held in his hand a return of the fluctuations th a t had taken place under the Act of 1828, and he found that during the eight yeas succeeding the passing of that Bill, that wheat sold, upon the average, under 40s. during seventeen months of that time ; between 40s. and 50s. during twenty-three months of that period; between 503. and 60s. for forty-eight months ; between 60s. and 70s. for eighteen months ; between 70a. and 80s. for sixteen months; and between 80s. and 90s. for one month. It was clear, therefore, that the Corn-law had not answered the expectations ofnhe framers of it. Sir R. PEEL wished to know what were the results of what had been stated by the Hon. Member. Mr. LABOUCHERE said he had not calculated the results.—( Hear.) He would note pass to the next point. \ Mr. Canning had said that the great evil of the old law was, that under it we were sometimes suffering front a dearth, and at others from a deluge, but that under the new law the supply was to be always equable —we were never to have a deluge, and always a sufficient supply. No he would read a return of the number in each year during which the new law tioe. The number of quarters imported in 1829, in round numbers, amounted 1830 1831 18,32 There came a great change ;in of b q a u d ar - ter; imported been in opera to 1.360,000 ............. ..• 1,701,000 ......................... 1,491,000 1833 the quantity amounted to ... ... 1934 82,000 64,000 1835 1836 • • 30,000 I 1837 And then came another great fluctuation. Theimporta tion amounted in 1838 to 1,800,000 quarters—(Cheers) --and in 1839 to 2,200,000 quartcrs--(vve believe, but the vociferous cheering from the Opposition benches prevented our catching the exact numbers.) He could not held tay'ing thA it would be more for the convenience of the House, if Hon. Memberswould reserve their cheers until the statement of figures had been'concluded, and he could not help saying that whatever else those cheers might indicate, Hon. Gentlemen would not ventore to say that that return demonstrated that the effect of the law had been so to regulate the importation freni foreign countries, as to procure a regular and equable supply. They would find also, that this law at the time it was precaaed, was not proposed a% the part of the Govern ment as a measure as to the operation of which they were at all sanguine, bat as the best compromise that they could make with existing prejudices. This was a remark. able fact, and was stated by his Noble Friend Lord Glenelg, the President of the Board of Trade, in intro ducing the measure. lie stated tiret, he proposed the measure on the part of the Goeernment as the best the, under existing eircumstancee could be propoiei, email the minds of men were metes awakened to the ttab,lect ; and that whoa they chanestal the notions thee then entertained on this subjecn it might be altered l'or the better.— (Cheers.) Now, Ire contended that the time was come when that carsege had takers place, a great change was going on in the opinions of the country on the subject of the Corn lawa, and the time was not far distant when some alteration most necessarily take place.—( Cheers.) He hoped the friends of this change would not be discouraged—( Loud cheers) --that they would not give up the cause in despair —( Loud cheers from the Ministerial side, caused by cheers from the Opposition benches)—and that they would 'net think it necessary to resort to violent means of agitation, or to inflammatory topless.( Loud cheers) ...rut that they would trust entirely to reason end argument, and they would find that its every succeeding year their argements would be attended to more and more, and the result would be that, at no very distant day they must succeed in attaining their object --(Loud cheers.) There was also the opinion of another person, who was new a Member of that House, and whose absence on the present occasion he regretted as much as any alembee of that House, and whose authority was of considerable weight, more especially with Han. Gentlemen opposite, he meant the Noble Lord, the Member for North Lancashire. In 1828, on the occasion o f tat? 13111 bein g intrceleced - , Mr. Stanley said that he was abstractedly of opinion that a fixed permanent duty was the best, but that if that were not acloated, the beat Scale of duties to adop would be that which, while it would give a remencrating profit to the farmer, would prevent the prices from ever falling too low or rising too high, l-le quoted these opi nions to show that the it,_ neleeters of the Bill had no very sanguine expectations 4,s to its operation. —( Hear, hear. ) He had heard ....it'll some surprise the Noble Lord, the I :Member for Shropshire, complain that this question had been brought forward. That Noble Lord said that the ' entertaining of this qucstioa was only encouraging popular delusion, that the agitat,on had been got up by spreading delusions among the people who were ignorant ma the subject. He was surprised to hear the Noble Lord make such a statement, and he thought when the manufacturers came forward and stated that thee tem aggrieved by the operating ef these laws, it was to'O much for the Noble Lord to say that this demand far a repeal of the Corn-lawa yees confined to persons who came under the deem-le:lett of ignorant. He did teet know any striter ef i'epute on the subject of political economy who had nut recorded his opinion in op position to these hal, He would ask Hon. Gentlemen opposite to paint out one writer of note who had ventured to stake his reputation on the support of such a system of Corn-laws? And when they found that the com mercial and manufacturing interests of the country came forward and said that they felt Eeverelv the pressure of these laws, and when they found that those who deeply considered this eisbject with a view of theoretically investigating it, 'concurred with them in opinion, he would say that such a state, of things required the clearest mid most convirming arguments to induce the House to refuse to erseeider the subject. A good deal had been said last year as to whether our manufactures were in a state of peril or not, and from whet he had heard to-night he was induced to think that A great deal would be said upon the subject dorina- the present discussion. The Hon. Member for Ileseeo: last year had adduced the state of our exports a a Convincing proof to his mind of menu ftteturieg prosperity, and if he considered that a sore proof, he would undoubtedly refer to the re tarns for the present year. It was true that in all the great staple articles, the exports this year had exceeded the last, but he (Mr. Labouchere) could I not help saying that that very increase gave him some ground for apprehension. He did not wish to hold the lays urge of despondency, and he had the greatest faith in the energies of the commercial interests of this country. He believed that British enterprise and British industry could accomplish anything.—( Loud cheers.) But from the present etate of our manufacturing interests, as shown by these returns, he had good reason to call upon the House to take care that toey should do nothing which, in the race of competition which our ma nufacturers were now running with foreign capitalists, that !amid impose any burthen on them that was not ne cessary for the great interests of the State. The subject e hien had been alluded to by the Noble Lord had been treated of in a most able and intelligent manner by a rela tive of his Hon. Friend the Member for Leeds—(Cheers) —in a speech to which the Noble Lord had alluded. In the conclusions of that speech, it was impossible not to agree. They showed that although our exportation had increased our home consumption had diminished, and that a diminution in our manufactures had been the consequence. He found these results most clearly stated in a very able pamphlet which he held in his band, written by Mr. Wil son. He wished he could induce Hon. Gentlemen oppo site to read this pamphlet, as it placed all these arguments in a very clear light, and no person could read it without deriving a great deal of useful information on the subject. ( The Hon. Gentleman then proceeded to read the account of the imports of cotton wool, wool, flax, &c., from Mr. Wilson's pamphlet, which appeared in our Paper of Thurs day last, in Mr. Baines, jun.'s, speech at the Anti-Corn law Delegation, showing a great increase in our exports, and a decrease in the imports of the raw material.) This increase in our exports was, therefore, no sure indication of our manufacturing prosperity—on the contrary, they showed the necessity of looking narrowly at the injurious P Her Majesty and Prince Albert, according to resent arrangements, will leave Buckingham Palace on Wed nesday the lath inst., for Windsor Castle, to pass the Easter effects of our Corn-laws , in order to see whether they were not unsafe.

At the present moment the stack of foreign wheat was exhausted; no change they could now make would produce a great im portation from abroad. He believed the present state of the price of corn, both here and abroad, afforded many faci lities for making any alteration that might be thought desir able. He should rejoice if, contrary to his expectation, they acceded to the motion of his Hon. Friend to go into com mittee. He believed by so doing they would afford great satisfaction to the country, and put the corn-trade on a sounder footing than it now was, or ever could be under the operation of the present laws. On the motion of Mr. BR OT HERTON, the debate was then adjourned till to-morrow. INSURANCES. Colonel SIBTHORP gave notice that immediately after Easter he should call the attention of the House to the Reduction of the Duties on Insurance. ... .... ._ The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and he House adjourned at a Quarter before One. HAYMARK.ET THEATRE. It vas expected that her Majesty would have visited this house last night, privately, to witness the performance of Alacready in Richelieu, and the theatre was crowded to suffoca tion, but her Majesty did not come. Intimation to that effect was sent to the theatre in the afternoon. Mr. Webster, the spirited Lessee, had made every preparation for the reception tir the Royal Party, who will no doubt honour the Haymarket with their presence shortly. The performance went off with great applause. COURT CIRCULAR. The following was issued yesterday : " Lord Chamberlain's Office, Apr:l 1, 1840.

" Colonel Torrens, who, several years ago, wrote by far the ablest pamphlet which has yet appeared upon the Corn-laws and Corn Trade, has just published a short volume or pam phlet on Wages and Combinations.' In giving to the world this acute arid ingenious publication, Colonel Torrens has con ferred areal benefit on the working and manufacturing classes, and through them on the community at. large. Though it con tains nothing particularly new in point of doctrine or illustra tion, it subjects some received opinions to a more rigorous analysis than any through which they have yet passed, and establishes acknowledged principles on a surer basis of reason ing and de.nonstration. At the same time, its language. though rigidly strict a nd scientific, is so perspicuo us as to be generally intelligible."--Times IRELAND anl, ITS CIVIL wAus By CAPTAIN ROCK.

" Dr. Peithman has developed a more rational method of Classical Education than that w'lich is pursued in the public schools of this country.''—Athenaeum. The chief arrival this morning is the Philadelphia racket ship, from New York, with six days later intelligence fron: the United States. On perusing the papers, we cannot find that they are of much importance. Commercial affairs continue much in the same state as in the previous accounts. The news from Mexico is of a very contradictory character ; at one time it is stated that the Federalists are triumphant ; at another, that the Centralists are all-powerful. The accounts from Matam of the lbth January, state that an express had arrived from General Arista, bringing the intern.. -ence that the Commander of the Texans , ur der Canales, had P ' been ado a prisoner, and had been taken to Monterery, where he will, no doubt, be shot. Our readers who are well acquainted with the character and designs of the priesthood, call be no [note surprised at the arrogant conduct of the Bishops of EXETER and LONDON in the House of Lords on Tuesday night than at the coli . tg-lkion between Colonel PERCEVAL and the Kiig of HANOVER. It is proper that the ex-Grand Master of the Orange Lodges should be represented England by Colonel PERCEVAL, and proper that the Church should speak as the Bishop of EXETER spoke of the constituted authorities of Canada, and as the Bishop of LONDON spoke of the Clero Reserves Bill. The former Prelate, w ith a tune and in a manner which would well become "FORQUE MADA, when he laid aside his hypocritical humi lity, denounced Mr. POULETT THOMSON in the same sort of language that he used to Mr. HEAD. He was not, the Bishop implied, worthy of belief, He had no confidence in the Right Hon. Gentleman, and would place none in him. So the Church, which is paid and bribed for the purpose. upholds the authority of the State in these perilous times. The Bishop of LONDON, acting as a Peer of Parliament, saw in Alr,THo soN's conduct—who, in , ranting a property to the Monks of Montreal, and in forwarding a measure for the sale of the Clergy Reserves, has deferred equally to the Catholic inha bitants of Lower, and the Dissenting inhabitants of Upper Canada—nothing but enmity to the Church of England, and the Bishop proposes to legislate for Canada on that feeling towards Mr. THOMSON. Without the least regard to the in terest of the distant colony, or the wishes of the people, these arrogant Churchmen will be guided wholly by their sense of personal dignity. They will use the power which the people of England foolishly give them in the Legislature to maintain a sort of Church of Ireland, but even more iniq chievous, in Canada. The Archbishop of CAN TERBURY seems to be completely led by his two ambitious inferiors, and he lends himself cordially to their scheme of establishing, at any cost, a dominant priesthood in the continent of North America.

The Duke of WEL LINGTON gave them some aid on Tuesday night. Like the Bishops, the Tories, we know from past experience, have no repugnance to throw a colony into convulsions for a party triumph. We anticipate, therefore, that the Tories will coalesce with the Bishops in addressing the Crown to re ject the Clergy Reserves Bill, and so render the settlement of this troublesome question impossible. Be it so. The empire is already aware that the Tories are the enemies of the national prosperity.' By opposing the settlement.of.tlie Canada question, they will only confirm their character. Though for the immediate peace of the colony it would be most alarming, for the ultimate good of the whole empire, enabling it the sooner to get rid of the priest and Tory faction, it would be most desirable that the Tories should support the arrogant priests in keeping alive strife in Canada. ‘ .

The French Ministers who are Deputies have all been re-elected by overwhelming majorities. Only one vote was given against the return of M. THIERS ; four against M. DI!: REMUSAT, and seven against M.

The Jury of course returned a verdict of " Temporary derangement." Sir Wm. Thornton was a bachelor, and a very fine looking man. CHURCH EXTENSION BILL.—A correspon dent in Sheffield informs us that a meeting, got up by the clergy, was held in that place on Monday, to pass resolutions in favour of this justly obnoxious Bill. The result was rather a curious one. 'the Vicar of the parish, the Chairman, when a resolution was put, simply called upon those in favour of it to hold up their hands, without putting the other question to the vote ; and when the Chairman had gone through the rout ne, the meeting of itself called for those of a contrary opinion, when every motion except one (the numbers on this being about equal) was lost by considerable majorities.

THE POLICE.—A Correspondent complains bitterly, and with reason, of two policemen intruding themselves into a room in the neighbourhood of Holborn, where a com mittee was engaged in devising the bes t means of procuring a pardon far Frost and his companions. They might as well force themselves every night into Brookes's or the Carlton, or into a private house without a warrant. It is wanton interfe rence with the liberty of the subject like this that makes the people dissatisfied with the law, and those who administer it. An accident of a serious nature occurred on Tuesday morning, upon the King's-road. A little before seven o'clock, the wheelers of the Times coach had just been put-to at the bottom of Middle-street, and the ostler was standing at their heads, waiting for the coachman, when, from some cause which does not appear to be known, the horses took fright, and started off towards the Cliff. The ostler attempted to check them, and ran at their heads to the King's-road, where he lost his hold, and the wheels passed over one of his legs. The horses then dashed into the Middle-street gap, the pole striking aCainst one of the posts. One horse ran through the opening of the steps leading to the beach, where he remained some mi nutes, suspended by the harness. Several persons who had witnessed the accident prcceeded to unloose the traces; and the horse was by this means lowered to the beach, without re ceiving the slightest injury. The coach also was not damaged; and both it and the horses soon afterwards proceeded on their journey. The ostler, whose name iss Edward Mitchell, was immediately attended by Mr. Rueg, who, finding the poor fel low's thigh fractured, recommended his removal to the County Hospital, where it was found necessary to amputate the He lies in a very precarious state.—Brighton Gazette.

The Ambassador demands the absolute revocation of that decision. The Barcelona Journals are to the 20th of this month. At that time the Captain-General, Van Haien, bad set out again to join the army.
