Is this struggle to be regarded in the same way as if it were a conflict for the privilege of secresy? The ques tion is not now about the exclusion of reporters and the sup pression of debates ; it is not now about the right of the House of Commons to constitute itself a secret conclave, nullify ing for the time all responsibility of the people; it is not now a warfare against publications out of doors, whether by Members of the House or others; but it is a downright and honourable effort to vindicate its own claim to the right of publishing whatever the nation is concerned to know. What in the world is there for which the people ought to support the House of Commons. if not for this ? The cause is entirely their own."—The Morning Post thus alludes to the support given by the Tories to the new Irish Corporation Bill :—" The new Corporation Bill for Ire land seems to have met the approbation of the Conserva tive party in the House of Commons on abstract grounds merely. They have not taken into account, as we think they ought, the sentiments of the Conservative people of Ireland upon the subject. Let it be granted that they believe the people have formed wrong opinions. Even these are not to be treated with cold disdain."—The Times, recurring to the late proposed patent of pre cedence for Prince Albert, says :—" It was a coarse demand upon that illustrious assembly to subvert the first principles of justice and of the constitution, by robbing the blood Royal of England of its birthright, without the consent of all those to whom that right be longesi, and superseding them in their Royal privileges and honours, on all occasions and for life, by a Prince without place or station, or recognizA existence in the monarchy, save only that of a naturalized subject of Great Britain. The Morning her aid observes, in the course of a leading article on the Privilege Question Trial by Jury is directly attacked by the proceedings of the House of Com mons. If the Sheriffs can he deprived of their liberty for refusing to refund to the defendant the money which is the fruit of the p l aintiff's verdict, though the Sheriffs are the victims, the blow is struck at Trial by Jury. The greatest and most ancient bulwark of our liberties is thereby en dangered." ~~ ~ X= as may be demandeol for the ese of Her Majesty's Ships and 'reseals at the following places—from the Ist of April, 1340, to the 31st Marsh, 1841—beth days included, viz.:— Chatham I Kingstown and Dublin .. -31 5 12 fil;Ulsl~li)rji ; '`~, )!} l ?i ce „-„` Cerk and Kinsale Leitb, Leith Roads, and Frith River Thames, from Deptford of Edinburgh to Erith, both inclusive Milford and Pembroke seal and Downs Portsmouth Palmouth Plymouth Guernsey and Jersey I Sheerness.

Last evening Mr. Sidney Smith, Secretary of the Anti- Corn-law League, concluded his lectures on the Corn.. laws in Stratford. His audience was numerous and most respectable, embracing many ladies. EBENEZER CLAILKE, Esq., Snaresbrook, was unanimously called to the Ch a i r . The lecturer was most enthusiastically cheered through out, and at the conclusion a petition in favour of total and immediate repeal was unanimously approved by the meeting, The Chairman, on both evenings, delivered a very stirring address. Mr. Ashdown then moved the following reso lution :—" That the thanks of this meeting be presented to Sidney Smith, Esq., for his two valuable lectures in favour of free trade in corn, and his strenuous efforts to promote by the principles of free trade the greatest good to the greatest number." Mr. Ashdown took occasion to observe, that he himself could corroborate the lecturer's position relative to the tendency of wages to fall with the increased price of provisions ; far chronometers, of which ha himself was a manufacturer at one time brought Mt, for which no more than 40/. could bo procured now, and the dfLrence of the price was neces sarily just taken out of the man's wages. He also agreed with the lecturer in holding that the wages of the Continent were not l ower com p ara ti ve l y than in this country. The English workman abroad got more wages than he got at horn-. The reason why wages were abso lutely less on the Continent was, that less work was done in a given time, and it was much inferior in finish. The Continental workmen would got no more here than abroad, This had been satisfactorily proved by Mr. Babbage from actual survey and experiment. _ 111. THE DIARY OF A NUN. 2 vols.

A New Edition, in 2 vols., Illustrated with Wood-cuts, price 9s. in cloth. " In Mr. Davis's account of China we find every subject brought forward that can throw light on the laws and in stitutions of a people to whom, we think, that justice has not been rendered by foreigners which is their due. Mr. Davis brings to his task advantages which have fallen to the lot of few Europeans. He resided twenty years at Canton, where he at length rose to be chief of the factory ; he accompanied Lord Amherst's embassy to Pekin ; and he ranks as one of the few Europeans who have ever really mastered the language and literature of China. He has rendered into English several pieces from their ro mances, their poetry, and their dramatic works, of which last class, in all tongues, but more especially in the unique tongue of China, it is particularly difficult to preserve the spirit in a translation. We have a right, therefore, to consider the state ments which he has now submitted to the public as containing as full and correct a view of this singular people, of their go vernment, laws, and institutions—and, in short, of the whole frame of their society, as the many difficulties with which the subjectis beset will admit.—Quarterly Review.

SlR,—Your known impartiality, the justice you have always done to the cause of Poland, and the motion in favour of Cracow announced in the House of Commons, induce me to recall your attention to an article, pub lished by you on the 4th of this month, noticing a paper on C-acow, which appeared in the last number of the British and Foreign Review. You seem to doubt the possibility of restoring this Republic, without a pre vious re-establishment of the kingdom of Poland, and you strongly contrast the weakness of the State of Cra cow, with the importance which the author of the Me moir referred to declares to have been attached by the Great Powers to the preservation of its independence, in order not to disturb the balance of power. Per mit me, Sir, as a Pole, to point out what seems to me to be the inaccuracy of this line of argu ment, and to remark, that the question of Cracow is a much more profound and really important one than it appears at first sight ; that it involves the sacred prin ciple of national independence ; and that the commer cial interests 'of England herself are mixed up in it to a great extent. It is serving the cause of Poland to preserve the last refuge of Polish institutions and na tionality, and it is serving the cause of England to re establish with Cracow commercial relations which a few years ago amounted to no less than 140,0001. per annum for English exports. What can be easier than for France and England, who are joint guarantees of the independence of Cracow, to establish their claim to assist in maintaining that independence—to send their Ministers thither, and help to watch over the safety of the institutions which the Great Powers of Europe established by common consent ? This duty has be come the more imperative, because Cracow, in defiance of solemn treaties, and of a special ar ticle which forbade the entrance of foreign troops into the territory, has now been ever since 1830 under military occupation ; a military occupation which long ago the Ministers of England and France declared was to cease immediately, and which is maintained at the expense of the very inhabitants whom the permanent Conference of the three Residents have deprived not only of every national institution, but even of the last vestiges of independence. Cracow has at this moment neither an independent senate, diet, nor tribunals : her government reposes in a dictatorship, exercised by the Residents. How important, then, would be the pre sence of an English Resident at Cracow, whose duty it would be to watch over the interests of the people, and the commerce of this country! Must the crying injus tice done to Cracow wait for a remedy till justice is done to all Poland ? The moment is more favourable than ever for some decisive step, and the promise made by Lord Palmerston in his place in Parliament (1836), as well as the petition just addressed by the inhabitants of Cracow to the English and French Governments, fully justify the step which it is proposed to take in favour of the free town. The author of the article observed, that the importance of the question was in an inverse ratio to the impor tance of the town and territory, considered as to its extent. This is due to the geographical position of the State, which is one of the most favourable in Europe, and to the advantages secured to it by the treaties of 1815. So important was it, in the eyes of Austria, Prussia, and Russia, to maintain the balance between their States, that they, in 1815, created this free re public, placed it under the guarantee of a common or joint protection of the Five Great Powers, including England and France. Notwithstanding the first occu pation took place in 1830, and was effected by the Rus sians, the second took place in 1836, on pretext of troubles which never existed, and into this Russia dragged both Austria and Prussia, by preparing to enter alone, should they refuse to co-operate. This occupa tion •can only be looked upon as the work of Russia, intOst upoa destroying utterly Polish nationality : in this tragedy Russia plays the first part, Austria and Prussia but second-rate characters. Russia attaches the utmost importance to the possession of Cracow, and her proposals made to Austria in 1836 at Top litz prove it ; for so far from Russia having ever entertained the notion of ceding Cracow to Aus tria, she has, on the contrary, demanded the ces sion of it by Austria to herself. Tho question of Cracow is of a pacific nature. Let England and France begin their work of protection, by sending re presentatives thither : the military occupation will then cease, and Cracow really become a " free town," ac cording to the words of the treaties, " under the pro tection," not under the " dictatorship," of the three Courts. _ I have the honour, Sir, to be, &c. &c., A MEMBER OF THE LATE POLISH DIET.

King's voyage:- 44 Th e publication of this part of the work was intrusted to Capt. Fitz Roy, and we think he has fulfilled the trust reposed in him in a most admirable manner. The voyage abounds with interesting information. The reader will find traces of former voyages ingeniously brought to light, together with masterly descriptions of the countries and the people visited, both savage and civilised ; among which the chapter on the province and islands of Chiloe deserves par ticular notice. He will read of the natural produc tions, interwoven in the narrative in a pleasing and popular style, and more scientifically detailed in the Appendix. The Journal of Capt. Stokes will be read, too, with great interest. It abounds with useful and curious information—as do those of Lieutenants Skyring and Graves. The Journals of Capt. Fitz Roy occupy moot deservedly a con siderable portion of this volume, of which we must new reluc tantly take leave, with the observation that the Appendix, con taining the tables of latitude and longitude, varia►ion of the compass, tide, height of mountains and land, the magnetic ob servations discussed by Major Sabine, with his wontedacuteness and accuracy—the soology, &c., exhibits good work well, digested."

Great preparations are making at Mayence to make ready the Grand Ducal Palace to receive the Royal Family of Darmstadt in the course of the summer. Since May ence has been a federal fortress the presence of foreign troops has kept away the Court of the Sovereign, and no thing but the powerful inducement of the arrival of the Empress of Russia in June at Ems could have decided the Darmstadt Royalty to hare gone into its vicinity. The marriage of the Hereditary Grand Duke of Russia with Princess Maria of Hesse Darmstadt, youngest daughter of the reigning Grand Duke, now appears to be deCnitively settled. The Princess Maria was born August 8, 1824. Her mother was a Princess of the house of Baden. The most absurd stories have been current respect ing the Grand Duke's marriage with this Darmstadt Princess. The simple facts of the case are these :—'The Emperor of Russia, who prefers to allow his children to marry according to their own inclinations rather than sacri fice them to political interests and considerations, had sent the Hereditary Grand Duke last year, as you are aware, on his travels, and gave to him at the same time a list of Princesses from whom he could select a wife. The Princess Mai ia, having been considered too young, had been omitted in this list. Before the Gr a nd Duke's ar rival at Darmstadt he had visited Baden, where everybody was anxious that he should choose the Princess Alexan drine at Carlsruhe, but be did not pleat to this soft im peachment. The other small Court of Baden, who re sides at Mannheim, presided over by the Grand Duchess Stephanie (Beauharnais), had also its hopes and fears that the Princess Maria of Baden, sister of the Princess of Vasa, would hare been the happy bride ; but the Grand Duke passed, unfortunately, by Heidelberg, only a short distance from Mannheim, without visiting it. Oa the evening he arriv e d a t D arms t a d t , an d went with the Grand Ducal Family to the theatre, where a short time after the piece had commenced the Princess Maria entered, and seated herself in a corner of the Court box: The Grand Duke was smitten at once, and pointed out to Count Orloff the attractiens of the fair Princess. After the theatre he was presented to her at supper, and had a long conversation. The Grand Duke left the next day, but not before he had sent letters to St. Petersburgh, to state that he had made his choice. Every kind of rumour has been current respecting the birth of the Princess, and it is even said that an officer of the Crown, a Swiss by birth, was honoured by the favour of the deceased Duchess at the time of the birth of the Princess, and of her young brother Alexander. Count Orloff believed it to be his duty to report these rumours to the Czar, and it is said that his Imperial Majesty replied, " If my son is attached to her, that is enough ; and as to the reports in question, I despise them, and they will cease when she is my daughter-in•law." Shortly after the departure of the Grand Duke a frequent exchange of couriers between St. Petersburgh and Dramstadt took place, and for the first time a Russian Minister was accredited to the latter Court in the person of Count de Brunow, now in Lon don on a special mission. The Count was charged to watch narrowly the conduct of the Princess, and the men tion of the fact will prove this. She had recovered from an indisposition, and was yet pale, and he expressed his sur prise that she never walked. The next day, with her Ladies of Honour, she was seen promenading. After the Grand Duke's return from England he passed a week at Darmstadt, and was a most attentive and anxious lover. He is expected to arrive to see his lady-love early in March. This marriage, which will probably take place this summer, has excited no little wonder, and many am bitious prospects have been disappointed. The Princess Maria is very handsome, her deportment is very modest and retiring, her figure is elegant, with chesnut hair. She has been well educated, and, although so young, her tact and ease are remarkable. The Darmstadt Court is one of the most ceremonious in Germany, and she has been brought up with all the severities of the ancient etiquette, to which the Grand Duke is very strict. The President Minister of the Diet, Count Munch Bel linghausen, is still absant. He received lately from the King of Hanover the Order of Guelph, sent to him richly studded with diamonds worth 1,000 louis. In the absence of Count Munch, General Von Scoeler, the Prussian Mi nister, will be the President of the Diet. The most re markable man of this Assembly is, without a doubt, Lieu tenant Colonel M. Radowtz, Plenipotentiary of Prussia, of the Military Commission of the Germanic Diet. He was formerly in Napoleon's service, and is now the inti mate friend of the Crown Prince of Prussia, and is one of the most learned men in Europe. speaks above dozen languages with equal facility, including the Arabic and Syriac, and is acquainted with ail branches of science. is a walking dictionary, only excelled by Humboldt.— Morning Post.

TIMES.—The expected notice relative to Exchcquo Bills has appeared this morning, and great surprise is ex pressed at the hardihood of the Chancellor of the Exche quer in taking his stand for the issue of new bids at the old rate. There is so little in the state of the Money Market to justify it, that the notice has only increased the suspicion felt yesterday of some collision with the Bank, of some arrangement to borrow paper from that Corpora tion, instead of capital from the public, which always has, and always will, put our finance out ot . its right course, and prods:cc mischief in the end. The current reasoning today on the topic has been something to this ef fect t —When the Treasury offer less than 2i- per cent. for twelve months at certain, at a time when the Bank ask 5 per cent. for a loan of 60 days, it is quite clear that either the Treasury or the Bank must be wrong. The presumption is against the Bank, for it is not to be pre sumed possible that the Treasury can have issued an ad vertisement at the risk of being called upon for some mil lions or money on a day's notice, without some un,lerstand ing with the Bank for assistance. That the Bank should readily fall into this arrangement, and commit the incon sistency of lending to the Government on terms so much lower than to the public, causes co surprise, as they have an obvious interest in keeping in favour with the Ministry. The policy of the latter, if they desired to preserve an in dependent position in the approaching discussion, lay en tirely the other way. The decline in Exchequer Bills whic - h has occurred to-day proves the justice of these re marks, and that such assistance, whether a matter of agree ment or otherwise, is very likely to be called for on or be fore the 10th of rext month. The experiment is watched on all sides with much curiosity. POST.—Consols and the other permanent securities left off firm this aftertnon, in consequnce of a notificatica issued by Government relative to the paying off of the un. funded debt. CHRONICLE.—The notice that all Exchequer Bills dated in the month of March, 1 , 839, would be paid off on the 16th of March next, and that new bills of even date might be obtained in who!e Gr in part payment, is adver tised tc-day ; but as the new bills are only to bear an in. terest of one penny three farthings by the duty, con stlerable disappointment has been felt by those who had invested in those securities under the expectation that the notice would have contained an intimation that the rate of interest would be increased ; and they have, in conse quence, closed heavy, at a further decline of three shil lings on the prices of yesterday. The fatness has also been greater from its being known that there is still 1,000 0001. of them to he thrown en the market under last year's vote of supply. Some people think, as no notice of raising the interest has been given, that the Chancellor of the Exchequer has resolved upon funding ; but it is quite possible that a notice to raise the interest may still appear, as he has no cause to make such an announcement so long as the bills in the market stand at a premium, amounting at present to 20,000,000/. ; and it is materiel to observe that an increase on the interest of one halfpenny per day (which would make the interest twopence farthing per day, or 31- per cent.) would add 100,000/. to the interest pa, able on the gross amount. HERALD.—This announcement has, of course, had a depressing influence on the Exchequer bill market, as it bad been fully expecied, by every capitalist of the least in telligence, that the interest of lid. per diem would have been advanced to 2d. What the Chancellor can mean by continuing the same rate, with the tendency of the quota tions so decidedly against him, we are at a loss to conjecture. SUN —Up to the close of the Tea sales the bid dings were languid. The reduction in prices, as com pared with yesterday, is Id. to I,id. per lb. The Colonial markets were not quite so brisk. There was again an appearance of firmness in the English Stock Market, although money was rather scarce. Consols closed at 904 to for money, at.d 90i to 91 for time. Exchequer Bills, in consequence of the official notice, establishing th rate of interest on the new Bills to be given in exchange (whore desire 4) for those expiring in March, at lid. per cent, per diem, were heavy to the close of business at 3s. to ss. prem. B ink Stock left off at 1781 to 4, and India Stock at 2484. There was a little speculation in Mexican Bonds, which fluctuated this afternoon between 28i and 291 for the 28th instant. It is said that in an interview with the Committee of South American bondholders, the Secretary for Foreign Affairs promised every assistance it is in his power to give, in enabling the English cre ditors to obtain justice. Portuguese Three per Cents. were heavy at 23A ; Colombian 251 to 1. The other Foreign Stocks did not vary in price after the middle of the day. The 11ii1way Shares gave way just before the market closed. The London and Birmingham were done at 63 prem. ; the Great North of England at 18 discount ; the Southampton at .5i prem., and the Great Wi'_s tern 1-1 premium. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Brighton Gazelle.) PORTSMOUTH —Sailed, yesterday, from Spithead, her Majosty's ship Blenheim, 72, Captain Sir H. Senhouse, for the East Indies. The Blonde, 46, Captain Bour chier, destined for the same quarter, left for Plymouth on Friday, where a party of men await her. The ships are laden with warlike stores, to act against the Chinese, and have been detained by strong adverse gales. Several au. pernumerary Lieutenants, to join the Wellesley, 72, and strung detachments of Royal Artillery and Marines, have proceed,d in these ships. The Nimrod. 20, and Pylades, IS, are araitinr , the arrival of the Blonde at Plymouth, to accompany thesouadron to China. Sailed yesterday for Rio de Janeiro, where she is to be stationed as a depot for captured negroes, the Crescent, 42, in command of Lieutenant Donellan. She took out despatches for Rear-Admiral Ross and Commodore Sul livan, also a draf of boys for the squadron. Lieutenant Nott, appointed to the President, flag-ship, likewise took a passage in the Crescent. The beautiful ship, the Magicienne, 24, is commissioned at this port by Captain William Burnett (1834), and the rvette Pearl, 20, at Sheerness, by Commander Chatles Frankland (1825). The Andromache, 26, Captain Baynes, C. 13., is nearly ready in the harbour, and will shortly follow the squadron to the West Indies, touching at the Mauritius. The steamer Glearrier is cormaissioned in the river by Lieutenant John Jeayes, of the Coast Guard Service, for service on the Irish station. The Columbia steam-transport, Mr. A. Thomson, mas ter commanding, has proceeded to Plymouth and Cork, w i t h a great portion of the late crew of the Pembroke, 72, paid cff at this port. The Inconstant, 36, Captain Pring, is gone into Ha moaxe, from Barbadoes, to be paid off, it is understood, all standing. She left Carlisle Bay on the 12th January, with General Sir S. Whittingham on board, having been relieved in the command at the Leeward Islands on the previous day by Lieutenant-General Meister. The In constant has experienced tremendous weather, but has fully maintained the reputation of her projector and builder the late Rear- Admiral John Hayes, C. B. By the lamented demise of Rear- Admiral Sir Frede rick Maitland in the East Indies, the command is vacant. Rumour assigns it to Earl Minto's brother, Admiral Elliott, now commanding at the Cape. - lIE JULY REVOLUTION.—T he column on ths Place de la Bastille is so far advanced that the names of the combatants who fell in the three days of 1830 *rc now engraving on it.
