Morning 5l minutes after 4 I Evening 7 minutes after 5. LONDON: FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1140. In the Peev, her MAJESTY'S and Prince ALBERT'S answers to their Lordships' congratulations were read. • Some petitions were presented against alterations of the Corn-laws, and for the Abolitio n of Church -rates. The Prisons Act Amendment Bill was passed. In answer to questions from Lord ELLENnononcti, VisCourrt MELsooarrn sta cd that the dispatches from the Mauritius would be produced ; and the Marquis of LANSDOWNE stated that the Government was willing to accede to a motion for referrinr , the petition fr om the East I n di a Di rectors to a Select Committee, though he thought it more advisable to wait until the Govern ment was prepared with measures relative to the sub ject of the petition.. The Committee, however, is to be moved for on Tuesday. In imswer to the Duke of BUCKINGHAM, the Earl of MINT° said that he had not received official accounts from China, but he had received private accounts, which made him believe that the published accounts were correct. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY gave notice that he wanted to know whether any arrangement had been made by the Sp an i s h G overnment for the payment of the Auxiliary Legion, and he begged he might be in formed. Viscount STRANGPORD moved for certain Repor t s made by the Revenue Board t o t h e Board of Tra de and Treasury relative to the Inland Warehousing Bill . The Noble Viscount grounded his motion on the neces. city for their Lordships to have the information, in order to enable them to judge of the Bill when it came before them. He stated that the reports of the Re venue Boards were unfavourable to the measure, and he contended that it was not unusual to grant such returns, for he held some special reports of the R e . venue Boards in his hand. The Earl of CLARENDON in a short, pithy, and busi ness-!ike speech, opposed the motion. He showed that it was not usu dto grant such returns. That the re ports w're confidential, and that the whole mode of transacting the Government business would have to bo altered if it became a practice to lay such reports before the Houses of Parliament. He compared them to the opinions of the law officers, which never are made public. The Noble Earl admitted that the report was •• - _ dtretk dm, / 'P*4 .2 . • ' aixtxx.s. THE _DUKE •OF—WELLINGTON. We are happy to learn, and so will the public be, from the Tory Journals, that the Duke of WELLINGTON is daily getting a great deal better ; and we shouZ be still more happy if the Tory Journals were not so habitually given to make false statements to serve a party purpose, as to make us read nearly all which they say the back way, as witches recite their prayers. Their statements are not confirmed by our information. His Grace has somewhat recovered, we learn, from his severe attack, but it was so severe as to cause the greatest alarm to all his friends and servants ; and so severe as yet to leave many doubts of the result. The Duke was seized, we understand, with paralysis, affecting, we believe, the greater part of one side ; and, at his time of life, exposed as he has been to much fatigue in various climates, there is much more to fear than to hope from its consequences. The Morning Post yesterday again assailed her MAJESTY, but the attack was made through Prince ALBERT. From some accident or mis understanding the PRINCE was not ready to re ceive the deputation of the House of Commons which waited on him on Tuesday with the Message of Congratulation. This was a lamentable mis chance, almost as much to be deplored as an earth quake or a short harvest. It might, however, have happened merely from the PRINCE not being fami liar with our language, or from his engagements being at once numerous and uncertain ; but it surely could not have been intended to insult the House of Commons. The Morning Post is quite sure that it was so intended. If our Contemporary, who assumes to know so much, would ascei d a little beyond the porters of the Clubs or the lacqueys of the Members-4 he would, as he continually gives us to understand he can, consult the heads of his party—if he would ask Lord ASHLEY or Sir GEORGE CLERK, who formed part of the deputa tion, lie would, no doubt, learn that the PRINCE made an ample and satisfactory apology for the mis take or mischance of the preceding day, and that those Tories, instead of supposing that any insult was intended to the House, were fully convinced that the PRINCE was not at all to blame, and were satisfied, not to say charmed, by his apology. What is gathered from eaves-dropping chamber women or door-porters suffices for an attack on her MAJESTY to that Journal which, not long ago, al most insinuated a charge of murder against the QUEEN, because one of her serving -ladies died of an old liver complaint. The Journals which employ these improper arts are very loud in their complaints of the Socialists and the tyrant majority of the House of Commons. But we venture to doubt whether the Socialist doc trines, carried out to the utmost consequences im puted to them by Mr. OWEN'S adversaries, or the tyrant majority of the Commons, can ever equal the wickedness and the tyranny of the Tory Press. To deprive her MAJESTY of public esteem by villanous lies is not merely to expose the Crown to degradation, it is, in these times, to endanger the QUEEN'S life. Society slumbers on the bed of a furious volcano, in which Chartism, priestcraft, fanaticism, intolerance, and unjust legalism, are struggling for the mastery. How it may explode, no man yet can tell, but the explosion seems cer- • Win ; and if the efforts of the Tories to bring odium on the QUEEN should be successful, her fate may be most disastrous. To see them, day after day, on the slightest occasion, or on no occasion at all, hunting down that young lady with all the savage ness of bloodhounds, and all the while pretending the utmost loyalty and devotion, is one of the most disgusting spectacles of ferocity, united with hy pocrisy, that. has ever fallen under our notice. We defy Socialism to produce a more revolting spectacle than this offspring of Protestant bigotry I Again, as to tyranny. The House of Commons only pretends to exert a power over the bodies of those who offend it, but the Tory Journals tyran nise over the. mind. They trample truth under their feet : they crucify principle. The Great Apostate, or as one of its own Correspondents yes terday called it, the Universal Journal, makes its gullible readers believe one thing one day, and the contrary another, and tyrannizes over their mental faculties far worse than ever the SULTAN tyran nized over his most devoted slaves. Imitating this Universal Despot, sundry lesser Tory Journals, like Turkish Pachas, gatherin g by all ki n d s o f crue l ty and exacti on t h e tribute for their head tyrants, tor ture truth and principle in the same manner as the Arch Apostate, and exercise a general and most ar bitrary tyranny over words. Disregarding truth, justice, and charity, the Tory Press at once crushes and enslaves the minds of its believers and dupes. It feeds them with gross calumnies, panders to their low appetites for slander and scandal,—on e day assailing the Socialists, the next the QUEEN,--... one day misrepresenting the representatives of the people, and next the unrepresented people themselves, till Tory readers and Tory journal ists, the seducers and the seduced, lose all appetite for truth, and live on falsehood. The Earl of MINTo announced in the House of Lords last night, that Rear-Admiral ELLIOTT, who now commands at the Cape of Good Hope, is to take the command in India, vacant by the death of Sir FREDERICK MAITLAND. According to our knowledge, there is an instant necessity for' the presence in India of some naval officer of talent, reputitiOu, and energy. Admiral ELLIOTT may possess all these qualities, but he cannot reach India so soon by several weeks as an Admiral sent over-land. It will take nearly two months to con vey to Admiral Et.r.toTT, at the Cape of Good • Hope, the orders to proceed to India. After he receives the orders, some time will necessarily be taken up in preparation, and it is nearly impossible that he can reach Calcutta in less than three months from the time the orders are sent from England. Now there are many gallant unem ployed Admirals who would be willing and ready, we are sure, to start for that command, if appointed to it, it one week. In forty days after leaving London, posting through France, steaming to Alexandria, crossing the Isthmus of Suez, and again steaming to Bombay, lie might asstane the command in India, and so save at least forty clays. We know not what policy is to he followed in re spect to the Chinese, but we presume that it is to be warlike and vigorous. If so, the sooner the better. India has immense resources—they are all under our command ; and an actin e Admiral with suitable officers, on the spot, would in forty days do much towards preparing an armament to be ready to act when the havesquadron wa a r with cli arrives from . Enoland. If, then, we are to na and if the arrangement mentioned l ast n i ght by' Earl MINTO be not car ried i n t o e ff ect, we humbly venture to suguest that an activ e , i nte lli gent, en l r teri *•- a Admiral, and suitable officers, sh ou ld be despatched isn overland to take the place of the deceased Sir F. MAITLAND, oct and I iv p e r epar operations.etofobrefuutuudreersto beg as not casting any re- unfavourable to the Bill, but that what a Revenue Board might not judge proper, a more enlarged consideration would justify. The Report for the Customs turned very much on the supposed facilities the inland ware houses would give to smuggling, and to publish that would be a lecture on smuggling by those most qualified to teach it. Lord ASHBURTON made one of his usual—that is, see-saw —speeches, so far as it could be understood. The Noble Lord puzzles the reporters as much by re fining over much and by his contradictions, as by his low voice and perplexed delivery. Viscount MELBOURNE opposed the motion, as mak ing the returns would destroy confidence. The Noble Viscount corrected a misapprehension which had gone abroad of what he had formerly said as to the Revenue. He had then admitted that the expenditure of the country was increasing, owing to many schemes sug gested for the public good, but he had not stated that the country would find any difficulty in meeting its expenses. On the contrary, he saw no symptom of decrease in the power of the country. Lord MONTEAGLE said that the same motion had been made in the House of Commons, and withdrawn, Viscount STRANGFoun withdrew his motion. The House adjourned. The Commons did not make a House. flection whatever on Admiral ELLIOTT or Lord MINTO ; but the public, we believe, will be inclined to wish that the settlement of the Chinese business should not be left to the somewhat omi nous name of ELLIOTT. We know nothing of the Superintendent ; we think he has been placed in a novel, a delicate, and a difficult situation. We are not aware that his conduct deserves cen sure ; but prejudices ought not to be disregarded, and Mr. ELLIOTT is not favourably looked on by the public. An unfortunate or an unlucky name mat• produce disastrous results, by diminish ing or extinguishing that confidence in the com mander, which is the great element of success in war. The side we have taken on the privilege question will convince our readers that we are not the advo cates of tyranny in one House of Parliament. At the same time we are no more apprehensive of tyranny from the House of Commons than from the united Legislature. The worst tyranny is that which usurps the name and characteristics of law. The tyranny of privilege is unusual, almost unau thoried, and sure to excite attention. The tyranny of law is customary, authorized, and acquiesced in, almost without a murmur. What an uproar, for example, is made by the committal, for a few weeks, of Mr. STOCKDALE and the Sheriff's, while'JOHN THOROGOOD has been shut up by law for thirteen months, though in all re spects a more estimable and worthy m an than Mr. SiOCKDALE. So Mr. JONES was imprisoned by the law, and has died from th e in justice, and no public meetings are held to protest against the legal iniquity. If the House of Com mons wish to play the tyrant, its wisest and safest plan is to embody its tyranny into Bills, and how ever wide and deep it may strike, it will find a willing co-operator in the House of Lords to send home the blow. It was necessary to bamboozle and cheat the Commons by th e a ff ect i ng f a l se tales told by Sir R. PEEL and Lord STANLEY, in order to get them to pass the Irish _Coercion Act the Lords accepted it as a matter of course. So with Arms Acts, In•mrrection Acts, Six Acts, and every other measure of coercion which has been passed or been proposed within our political recol lection, the Lords have readily assented to them. The House of Commons need, therefore, ly; under no apprehension, if it wish to play the tyrant, of not finding a willing coadjutor in the House of Lords ; and to pass B lls, therefore, instead of wrangling for privilege, is the safest, speediest, and surest way to erect that tyranny the Tory Journals accuse it of wishing to establish. For almost a century, prior to 1830, the two Houses were animated by ore spirit, and acted as if they were parts of the same harmonious whole. Till the House of Commons was reformed, there was little or no opposition between the two Rises. What was the result ? Why, the esta blishment, by law, of a wide-spread, grasping, meddling tyranny—coercing our thoughts, preying on our purses, restricting and ruining our in dustry, to which the petty tyranny of privilege is as a small rod compared to many scorpions. While The Sun has not stickled for privilege, still less has it stickled for law. If privilege be, as the Tories say, the tyranny of the democracy—law, as we have described it, boroughmonger-mad e law, law made when one House was the reflex image of the other, is the embodyment of Tory tyranny. Our Liberal readers, therefore, comprehend why all the Tory Journals rant so much in favour of the Tory tyranny of the law, and rave so much against the democratic tyranny of privilege. If our readers see no reason to support an unreasonable privilege (I:::narnled by the Howe of Commons, they wi l b e s ill less inclined to join the Tories in de nanding great deference to boroughmonger-mach law, such law as that which killed JONES and keeps THOROGOOD in prison.

We refer with much satisfaction to the good conduct, unanimity, and loyalty displayed by the working classes of Bristol, at a public meeting held on Monday to address her MAJESTY. A vast proportion cf those present were Chartists, and the expressions of fealty, love, and gratitude towards • the QUEEN, for extendicg mercy to FROST, WILLIAMS, and JONES, showed that they are not, as some men describe them, an insa tiable and ungrateful sect. What a uobie contrast their conduct forms to that of the Conservative clergy and laity of the .higher ranks I While par sons, Members of Parliament, and the Tory Press, almost without an exception, lose no opportunity of reviling and insulting Royalty, the lower classes in this country, nearly the whole of the Irish nation, and the " democratical, republican, and infidel Whigs" vie with each other in rendeting homage, and testifying their unbounded loyalty to the young and rightful occupant of the British throne. By persevering in such conduct, the real and radical Reformers will in time under mine the power of the grasping oligarchy, and obtain a relief from grievances, which physical force and rebellion would only entail upon them for many years to come. Madrid intelligence of the lath inst. has reached us. The capital was tranquilly awaiting the opening of the Cortes. Little business was doing on the Bourse, but the Fives continued at 281 for c is h, and :18:" for sixty days. The following extracts include the latest news from the theatre of war : SaitaGossa, FEB. 13.—The brigade of the vanguard under Brigadier General Concha, leaves Alionza to.day, to proceed to Muniesa, where the bead-quarters arc to be established. But before it goes to the latttr place it is to secure Belchite and its road ; for this purpose it is accom panied by a squadron of Hussars. Colonel Ramon La Rocha left Nils de las Matas yester day. He is gone to take a command in the third division under General Ayerbe. On the same day General Valdez arrived, on his way to Madrid. The heavy artillery has not yet arrived, but convoys of ammunition leave our city every day. —Phare des Pyrenees. The Echo del Aragon says :—•• W e know that serious disturbances have taken place in the Carliat army ; they can but increase, and this is a proper moment to strike a decisive blow." MR.

On Monday Major Cadogan, in the Tory interest, arrived to solicit the votes of the electors, but he did not get more than fifty votes. Captain Howard is certain of being returned. MAD ATTEMPT. --This morning, about a quarter after two, a young man of the name of Morris, with a friend, climbed round the Waterloo-Bridge Toll House on the Strand side, and madly attempted to walk on the ledge of the parapet, when his foot slipped, and he fell on the Watermin's steps—a height of forty feet. He rolled into the water, and on an alarm being raised, two bargemen ran to his assistance, and pulled him out quite insensible. Both his legs were broken. They carried him immediately to Charing Cross Hospital. MOST EXTENSIVE FRAUDS.—On Tuesday, • Hugh Parker, Esq., and the Rev. William Anderson, Magis.. trates of Sheffield, sat to hear - evidence in the case of Mr.. James Pringle, collectors' cleirk in the Excise-office for the Sheffield district, on suspicion of being concerned in a series of frauds ; to the extent (it is supisoSed) of several thousand pounds; The examination was private. Mr. Bicknell, solicitor to the Chelsea Hospital, appeared for th- prosecution, and Mr. Palfrey ' man and Mr. Bramtey for the defene... The examination lasted for two days, during which time a great number of witnesses were exam'ned, some of whom proved that the pensions of several soldiers who had been dead for many years had been paid, and that the prisoner was cognizant of their death. One o f the pensioners in whose name the pension had been obtained had been dead eight years, and another thirteen years. The declarations were forged. After Mr. Bicknell and Mr. Pal freyman had addressed the Magistrates, they retired to con sult. In a short time they returned, and Mr. Parker said that they had determined to commit Mr. Pringle for trial at York. The question ofbail would be reserved till Friday. VIENNA, FEB. 11.---Some German Papers its fro— The Barcelona Journals are to the I I th.

TnEzu., over the grave of the late Marshal MArsori occupy a prominent place in the Paria Journals of Wednesday. In the theatrical rhapsody of M. THIERS, for his oration deserves no better name, Marshal MAIsoN is repres , :nted us not more distinguished for valour than for statesmanship ; tind the lively little deputy, in taking leave of the ashes of the illustrious deceased, apostrophizes him with the originality of many a villag e t om b stone, as an illustrious soldier, a good citizen, an d a f a i thful friend. Happily for the patience of the m em b ers of the French Academy, the deceased Marshal did not belong to that learned body, and consequently they will be spared the heavy infliction of a dull oration upon him. The custom itself is exceedingly pernicious, as it constitutes an inva sion of one of the sacred provinces of contemporary his tory. Were the good sense and habitual acuteness of the French tempered with a greater sobriety of judg ment, and a wholesome contempt for mere stage eff the custom of pronouncing such orations would be in stantly abolished. The Dotation Bill of the Duke DE NEMOURS is uni versally reprobated by the Opposition Journals. The Constitutionnel states that the Mir.isters have been driven to decline making it a Cabinet question, as they at first intended. Three French ships of war have been sent in search of the two Barbary Corsairs seen off the Spanish coast. The Gazette de France, a Carlist organ, of no authority on Spanish affairs, publishes a letter from Bilhoa, of the 10th inst., which represents the whole country as in a state of discontent, and the inhabitants as again rising in hundreds, to range themselves under the banner of Don CARLOS. The writer states that 300 Carlists had appeared at the gates of that city, and that some of the QUEEN' S troops deserted to them. Half of what this Journal states is pure invention. The Journal de Frangfort states that the Oriental question will be settled without the striking of a blow, or the firing of a musket. We are very glad to bear it. Count MOLE and M. VICTOR HUGO are expected have accou. , Its from Vienna, as they say, which state that from the ..Ist to the 24th •f January there was a furious hur ricane. which unroofed hundreds of houses, and was such as the oldest people did not remember ever to have seen. I can assure you that there is nut a word of truth in this statement. METROPOLITAN ANTI-CORN-LAW Asso- CIATION.—At the first meeting of this body on Monday next at their Office, in the Strand, we are informed thai a deputa tion from the Council of the Anti-Corn-law League of Man chester will be present. The gentlemen ahosen for this office are J. B. Smith, Esq., President of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, and Richard Cobden, Esq., the well known Manchester manufacturer. • SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.—On Monday morning, a person named James Liddell, having occasion to go to Ford for coals, a distance of sixteen miles, he was not a little Surprised after reaching the pit, by the crowing of a cock be neath his cart ; on looking with a light below the body of the vehicle, he observed a cock and hen roosting on the axle, apparently quite at home.

Kewley, for the purpose of calling the attention of the public, and especially of Members of Parliament, to the liant of labourers in our Sugar Colonies, and urging them to devise some comprehensive scheme of immigration into the Colonies. It states that the production of sugar in British Guiana has fallen off from 65,000 hhds. in 1836, to 34,900 in 1839, and that from all accounts the crop of 1840 will be much less than that of the preceding year. It states also that the falling off in the whole of the West India and Demerara Colonies has amounted to 75,200 hits. of Sugar in 1839, as compared with the average of the six years previous to .1835, and to 42,300 Idols. as elm pared with the average of the three years preceding 1838. As a remedy for this deficiency of production, Mr. Ke ley recommends the encouragement of immig-ati9n from India and other places of a climate congenial with that o+ . the West Indian British Colonies. He considers Gui ma peculiarly applicable to a national experiment of this sort, there being not less than sixty millions of un sold Crown lands capable of producing almost any pro duction, and sufficient to render Gre it Britain inde pendent of foreign slave colonies for supplies of tobacco, cotton, indigo, rice, &c. We have no doubt that there is plenty of Crown land in that colony, and the richest allu vial soil, but the great drawback is the unhealthiness of the climate, at leact as regards Europeans: if,.howeve,r, it is more congenial to natives of India, who have diffi culty in many parts of that extensive country of find ing food and employment, it would become a question whether this country ought not to encourage emigra tion from that quarter, to enable the West Indian planters to compete with the slave-holding colonies of other nations. CITY, TWEL O'CLOCK. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, THURSDAY. —.The sales to-day are estimate,' at about 4 000 bags to the trade, with rather a dull fet•ling in the market. Our arrivals this morning are the French and Ostend mails—no ship iettnrs. ( From the Journal of Antwerp of yesterday's date.) "6 It appears that the Belgian Government are going to establish the running of steam-packets between Antwerp a-. 11 New York. Already the Minister of the Interior has made known, to a certain point, the proposed plan. " The Belgian Moniteur of this day publishes the law which fixes the Budget of the Interior Department for 1840, at 8.513 504 francs, and the law which gives a pro visionary credit to the Minister of War is 1.500,000 francs. ANTWERP, FED. 1 9.—There was a general calm in the market this day for Colonial produce. Th (THIS DAY.) Here a scene of great confusion ensued, and" Mr. WAMWRTON again proposed that Mr. Hume take the chair, as it was one o'.-lock, and as no objection could afterwards JO made to the proceedings of the meeting. The motion was carried amidst deafening uproar ny a large majority. Mr. WALLEY continued to say, that he ought in truth, as the Sheriff was not here, to be in the Chair—it was his duty; but he was delighted to see their old friend there— (Cheers)—a man who had spent his life in the service of his country, and whose exertions reflected upon him the highest honour. Now, if the little clique on his right hand would but subdue their feelings for a short time, he hoped a discussion would take place useful to the cause of order and justice —(Cheers.) No man could deplore the sittia,ion of the Sheriff mere than he did, no man valued liberty more than be did, or could be more reluctant to place any restriction on his fellow-subjectS that was not called for by law and justice. He respected the Sheriffs, be believed them to have acted under an im pressive sense of duty, and if any man complained of their conduct he said he was guilty of a gross injustice. (Cheers.) It was their impression that they had only con formed to the law ; and he would ask whether any man, who, from a sense of duty, had violated the law, was not equally entitled to respect? The Sheriff was not the only person in prison. The attorney, his son and clerk, were there, but who could say they had been placed there from any vindictive feelings ? No ; they were sent there from an overwhelming tense of public duty.--( Cheers and groans ) The Hon. Gentleman then adverted to the case of the Dorchester labourers, and proceeded—Whoever violated the law must take the consequences. He would now confine himself to the question before them, and state the circumstances of the case. The Honourable Gen tleman then entered into a narration of the cir: cumstances which led to the Report of the Com mittee upon which the action of Mr. Stockdale was founded, and the subiequeut proceedings, which are so well known as not to need repetition, and proceeded. He said the Judges loud by their decision endcavoured to destroy the liberty of the people, and were the parties who ought to have been brought to the bar of the House.-- ( Cheers.) The House of Commons, he believed, had no other course to follow but the one it had adopted. They could not, he thought, have appealed for protection to the House of Lords, as they had themselves the means of de fending their priv leges. He remembered a story of an old couple in Devonshire who never could agree. At length the husband said to the wife, " I shalt go to the brink of the river, and you will throw me in." He stood tied at the brink, she ran to throw him into the river, but he stepped by and his wife fell in herself; she called for his assistance, but he told her she had tied his hands.-- ( Hear, bear, and laughter.) It would be so with the people and the Lords, ai,d they should not run the risk of sharing the fate of the drowned woman.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. Wakley was proceeding to address other observa tions to the meeting, when the Sheriff entered with a few friends, and chimed to take the chair. Mr. Hume, how ever' refused to leave it, an d a scene o f d isorder and uproar such as we have never before witnessed, then ensued. The Sheriff vainly er.deavoured for some time to obtain a hearing. An attempt was made to dispossess Mr. Hume of the chair. A large party, however, stood by and sup ported him. Mr. Under-Sheriff FRANCE then proceeded, amid tre mendous uproar, which rendered it impossible to catch two consecutive sentences of what he said, to read the requis , .. Lion After which we understood him as condemning, in the strongest manner, the conduct of the par ty who lied taken possession of the chair, and to say that he had told Mr. Wakley that he never would act under his direction—( Cries of" Hear, bear")—and he repeated to this meeting that ho never would. It was a base subterfuge by which Mr. Hume had taken the chair.— ( Tremendous uproar and rush towards the chair, in which the Shcriff was knocked doe..n, and a scene of indescrib able confusion ensued, which haling continued without intermission for some time, the Riot Act was real, alter which the Sheriff and his party left the room. The up roar, however, still continued, and there were loud cries for Mr. Hume, who we understood had left, after which Mr. O'CONNELL came forward amid loud cheering, and said—l should like very much to make a speech to you, but one blockhead can make noise enough —you (pointing to some uproarious individual) are worse than two block heads. You know empty things make most noise. —(Great uproar, after which Mr. O'Connell pro posed " Three groans for the Tories ; three cheers for liberty, and three cheers for the honest people," which were heartily responded to, and then moved that Sir John Scott Lillie should take the Chair. —( Cheers.) Sir JOHN SCOTT LILLIE having taken the Chair, said he was an elector of iddlesex, and it was not the first time that he had addressed ill- m. He had come to the meet ing without any intention of taking part in it, or making it a party question—but to hear what those who had called the meeting together had to say. lie had called at the Committee-room, where he met Sir Peter Laurie. who asked him whether he was for the liberation of the Sheriff or not, and upon his saving he wished to hear the arguments on both sides before he de cided, he was told that no one would bo admitted unless he would vote for the liberation of the Sheriff. Was that free discussion ? It was not a party question but one which regarded the liberty of the people, and a Re formed Parliament, and the steps they had taken on this matter could hare no other end, but that of the public good. He thought Sir Robei t Peel and those who had acted with him had no other object than that of mainteining the liberty of the people (Great uproar, cheers, and groans.) He said Sir Ro bert Peel had given an honest vote on this question._ (No, no, and groans.) Therefore, he told them, they should give a fair bearing to all parties. They were now called upon to say whether they would support Stockdale, the publisher of " Harriet Wilson," and such works—whether they were the advocates of obscenity or the privileges of the House of Commons.—( Cheers and groans.) Mr. O'CONNELL then proposed the following resolution : —" That it is the duty of the House of Commons, which ought to be the representation of all the people, to publish to the nation at large all the delinquen.. cies, oppressions, grievances, and crimes of the Tory faction, and of all bad hien ; andi we pledge our selves to protect such just and necessary publications ;" which was received with tremendous cheers and uproar. He then again proposed three groans for the Tories, and three cheers for the Queen, three cheers for the majarity in the, House of Commcms, and various other similar demonstrations of popular feeling, which were heartily responded to. Mr. J. PALMER having proposed a vote of thanks to the Chairman, which was carried amid loud cheers, the meeting separated. We are informed that on leaving the room a violent attack was made upon Mr O'Connell by the opposite party, by which be would have been severely injured, but fur the exertions of his cousin, Mr. Wm. John O'Connell, and other gentlemen who surrounded him. A more tumultuous assembly was never witnessed, than that tee proceedings of which we have endeavoured to describe. The scene was at one time most painful, and at another most ludicrous. Here was the Sheriff haranguing the audience with as much effect as Demosthea nes cid the waves of the ocean ; and there was Mr. Hume who seemed perfectly at ease upon the subject, dragged on both sides by opposite fusions partizlll3, who thus con trived to keep him, when he wished to be 'n the chair. The paling of the platform and the tables was broken, the chairs overturned. Some cried for the police, and some for the military, while the great majority stood looking on and appeared to enjoy what, but for the want of shalt/labs, was iLore like a fight at Donnybrook fair than the proceedings of a meeting assembled in the metropolis of England on a great and important subject. (FURTHibIt PARTICULARS.) While Mr. Wakley was addtessing the meeting, about to lea d hi s resolution, Mr. France, the De y uty and p- Sheriff and hi s attendant, accompanied b a fn., other individuals, passed up the side of the room, and moved to the front of the hustings, plac ing himself ' , teen the meeting and the Chair. Mr. Wakley thereupon desisted, and Mr. flume requeste that the meeting would hear Mr. France, who then addressed Mr. Hume, stating that the meeting was not legal, as he had not constituted It, and some of Mr. France's attendants thereupon aquired Mr. flume to leave the chair. Mr. flume said the Sheriff had not kept his time, 112 /o'clock being the bout appointed, mid as the meeting 110 placed MIDDLLSEX COUNTY MEETIAG. A meeting of the Magistrates, freeholders, and electors of the county of Middlesex was hell a. the Freemasons' Tavern to-day, for the purpose of taking into coniidera tion the condition of Mr. Sheriff E‘atis, and the m...ans which should he adopted to effect his liberation. The me-.tieg wis convened for twelve o'clock at the Free. masoies' Tavcrn. The doors were opened at a f'w minutes after twelve, an ! on our entering the room, we perceived on the platform the followin g gentlemen : —M r . O'C onne ll , M P., Mr. flume, M P., Mr. Wakley, M. P., Mr. Warburton. M. P., Mr. Vigors, 11. P., and some friends of theirs. We did not, however, find any of the city authorities present, nor any person who seemed to belong to that party. Mr. WARBURTDN proposed that Mr. Hume should take the Chair.—( Cheers, hisses, and great confusion.) Mr. times then took the Chair, and proceeded to say, amidst great uproar, that the question which they had been assembled to consider was one of great importance, and one which must interest the freeholders of C , les of " He,r, hear.") Their ebject would be to determine how the House of Commons had conducted itself in defence of the liberties of the country.—(Great uproar, and cri sof " Off off ") Mr. flume continued to say that the meeting would have to express its opinion as to the best means of maintaining the rights of the people; and it would be for them to say whether they should lay their privileges at the feet of the. House of Lords, or any other body, or . ..het h'ir they would not rather defend those rights which for centuries belonged to them.—(Cheers and uproar. ) Mr. WA MAY, who was received with loud cheers and a few partial hisses, then proceeded to address the meeting. Their worth) Chairman had said the question before them was one of great importance. It had been asked if there were any person present who had a resolution to propose to the meeting, and in the absence of any other person, he should answer in the affirmative. He had a resolution to propose. him in the chair, he could not leave it without the question b-ing put to the vote, whi-•h he was ready to do. He then put the question whether he or Mr. France should take the Chair ; whereupon Mr. France, ad. dressing Mr. Hume, said, t , You have no right what ever to take the chair, end yell know it." Mr. Hume replied, that if Mr. France could show his right he would leave the Chair. On referring to some legal friends near him, Mr. Hume was assured that the Sheriff by law had t o such right. During this commotion the meetirg in front of the hust ings continued to cry out, " Hume in the Chair ;" but some 40 or 50 individuals pressed forwari tumultuously towards the chair, in order to remove Mr. flume forcibly, Mr. Home's friends resisting the pressure, whilst Mr. France in vain endeavoured to check the tumult, and was ul timately pushed off the hustings, amidst roars of laughter, cheering. g - oaning, and greet uproar. flaying recovered his place, Mr. France said to Mr. Hume that he would indict. him and Mr. Wak.ley for a riot.. The nressure increasing, Mr. France took a red book from his pocket, gave it to his qtendant, and desired him to read the Riot Act. The attendant thereupon read something from the book, not a word of which was heard, but which was or was supposed to be the Ribt Act. Mr. Hume then immediately left the Chair, having informed those around him that the Riot Act had been read, and ad vised Mr Wakley and his other friend, to disperse, and with many of them forthwith quitted the room.

NOVEL MODE OF CONVEYING A TE.A'Af• ENGI NE.-It is but a short period that the steam-engine has been used to convey post letters on land ; and now, for the first time, a post letter is made the means of carrying a steam-en. gine. Messrs. Newton and Berry, of the Pwent-office, Chars. cery-lank, London, received on the 29th of J anuary , per pos t a. from Messrs. Chadburn, Brothers, Sheffield, a perfect working steam-engine, constructed on the oscillating cylinder, with its fly-wheel, framing, boiler, and fire-place complete. The whole - was inclosed in a case wrapped in paper, secured with string, and accompanied with a description of its construction and mode of working. The total weight being under lour ounces, was charged as eight letters, which sum being pre-paid at Sbef+ field, cost eighteenpence postage, and came safe to hand with its fellow penny travellers. We understand that Messrs. Bai slieoyo, of f f f re c eivedH an ol e b m or b n o , sse,im,tl a l ast plate, week, which ek , per being d post, a npnroeor half f im p r e: n • ounce, was directed on its surface, pre -paid at Birmingham, and delivered as a penny post letter. Query—How did the post master pus the post-office stamps upon it ?—.Manchester Guardian. The reputation of the Bishop of Exeter is by no means confined to this country. The Journal des Dcbats i speaking of the discussion on Socialism in the House of Lords, observes---" 'The Bishop of Exeter is the too illustrious Dr. Phillpotts; that is to say, all that intolerance in any country, in any time, in any worship, has produced —most violent, most bitter, and most incorrigible." It is something to be on an eminence, even though it be a bad eminence. THE MURDER IN CORNWALL.—The mur derers of Mr. Nevill Norway, of Wadebridge, confessed their guilt on Monday night. They are two men, named William Lightfoot, aged 30, and James Lightfoot, aged 24, brothers, and living at the villag e of Burlawn, in the parish of St. Breock. According to their own account one of them at tempted to shoot Mr. Norway with a pistol, which did not go off. They then had a st ruggle, and several blows were given with the pistol, which soon deprived him of life. One of them, was lodged in Bodmin gac , l some days on suspicion, and both are now fully committed for tl se murder. 1 , W . —IIE EATHER..Winter has ret urne d.

TII e BRADFORD CHARTISTS.—The final examination of the ten men committed to York Castle for safe custody, took place in the magistrates' room at the Castle of York, on Monday and 'Tuesday. The Magistrates present were H. W. Bird, Esq.. 111. Thompson, Esq., the Rev. W. L. Hird. and Barnard Fhigh, Esq., of York. After an exami nation which occupied nearly two days, the whole of them were committed on a charge of high treason. We understand that the authorities of Bradford will be enabled to substantiate similar charge's against some other individuals implicated in the transactions of Monday s.norning, the 27th of January. Mt. Clarkson, of Bradford, was specially retained on behalf of sono of the prisoners at York.— Yorkahireman. CORN EXCHANGE. • This week's arrivals of Grain have been tolerably good, and of Flour considerable. The Wheat trade firm at Monday's prices. Barley met a heavy sale, and middling quotations were rather lower. Beans, Peas, and Oats as last quoted, with a fair demand. The Flour trade shows no inttication of improvement. SMITHFIELD. A short supply, and a brisk trade, but little variation in prices, the priinest Scots and old Downs being freely taken off at a slight advance. Veal and Pork steady at Monday's cur rency.

The bulk of the trade, and all the principle holders, are indifferent to the sale, and most of them absont. In the real Tea trade prices continue firm, there being nothing altered in our position and the Chinese to cause any decline. The sales made now are nothing more than the squeezings of the marker by the pi essure of p:ompts. COLONIAL MARKET. There was not much bu•inesi, the public sales not being heavy. British Plantation Sugar—Bengal and Bahia realized about. their previous value. But one parcel of Coffee in the market, viz., 608 bags Ceylon, which brought firm prices for the good sorts. Saltpetre firm, but not much in the market. LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(TIIIS DAY.)
