RESULTS OF NEGRO EMANCI- Her Majesty and Prince Albert honoured the Concert of Ancient Music at the Hanover-square Rooms with their presence last evening.

AVACANCY for a PUPIL is now open in the FAMILY of a CLERGYMAN of lon. - experience, residing twelve miles from London, the number of his Pupils not exceeding five or six. He can offer the most satisfactory References to Noblemen and Gentlemen whose sons have been under his care. _ PATION. I in doing so, he s a id he d es i re d t o call upon them t o ex press their sympathy with his Rev. Brother who had just sat down. They could not comprehend the extent of his labours. They could form no idea of the danger and difficulties to which he had been exposed. He (Mr. Morgan) well remembered when he was driven home to his native land by severe persecutions. He then a tale unfolded which tingled in their cars. His Rev. Brother was then what he had that evening pro fessed himself, the firm and uncompromising advocate of the unfortunate negro. Mr. M. then read the fol lowing resolution :—" That this meeting gladly avail themselves of this early occasion to present to the Rev. Wm. Knibb, Baptist Missionary from Jamaica, their hearty congratulations on his safe arrival in his native land, and to express, notwithstanding the reproach and calunin by which he has been assailed, and the persecu tion he has been compelled to endure, their unabated confidence in his high principles, and their admiration of his steady and fervent zeal in prosecuting the welfare, both spiritual and temporal, of the negro race." The Rev. TitosaAs SWANN seconded the resolution in an excellent speech, which we regret the want of om prevents us from giving. He commended, in ap ropriate terms, the conduct of the Rev. Mr. Knibb, Ind concluded by expressing a hope that the British public would never cease agitating until they effected the emancipation of all the slaves in the world. The resolution was then put, and carried with great applause. METROPOLITAN PATENT WOOD PAVEMENT COMPANY, Letters to be directed for the Rev. R. H., Post-office, Pe tersham, Surrey.

Ladbrokes, Kingscote, and Co. OFFICES-20, John-street, Adelphi. This Company has been formed for aving the Metropolis and twenty miles round, with wood. Specimens of the prin ciple have been laid down at WhitGhall, Buckingham Palace, and part of Oxford-street, below Wells-street and Newman street, which have proved its superiority over every other mode 0 / wood pavement hitherto adopted. From authent►c returns, it appears the paving-rates in the Metrop&is alone amount to 20 0,000/. annually—the repairs in Oxford.street are 5,0001. per annum. The economy of wood paving on this principle, compared with every other model, ensures to this Company an ample remunerat►on per square yard ; and, that their operations may be carried to any extent, ►t is only necessary to state that the roads in the 111etropolis now paved with stone and Mac adamised comprise between five and six millions of square yards, for which there is no doubt wood will be sub stituted, removing, as it effectually does, so many long eomplained-of nuisances. The nresent orders received by the Company amount to 20,000/. 'Negotiations are pending for other work to a great extent. Models and reports as to tne merits of the invention, by sur veyors and other competent persons, may be seen at the offices of the Company as above. To the Directors of the Metropolitan Patent Wood Pavement Company. Gentlemen—As Surveyor to the Commissioners for Paving the Regent's-park, Regent-street, and Whitehall districts, by hid order the wood pavement on the above principle has been *id down at Whitehall, and in reply to your note requesting my opinion of its merits, I have to inform you that the work has not only given me and the Commissioners entire satisfaction, but has excited the admiration of the public generally. I have no doubt but this mode of pavement will be universally adopted, as it is not only free from noiso and mud, but the wear and tear of public and other conveyances will be greatly reduced. The Wood pavement laid down at Whitehall stands firmly, and is in as good condition as the first day it was laid down. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, J. TOOGOOD, e, Dufour's-place, Golden-square, April 2, 1840. To the Directers of the Metropolitan Patent Wood Pavement Company. Gentlemen,—ln reply to your application to me for a certi- Seats of my opinion of the Wood Pavement laid down by your bearing in various parts of London, I have much pleasure in Dearing testimony to its evenness of surface, as well as to its compactness and solidity, and I am sure when it comes to be generally adopted, the wear and tear of horses and carriages will be greatly reduced. As Manager of the London Convey ance Company, who are Proprietors of Omnibuses, running be tween the Nightingale Tavern, and Elephant and Castle, I have rema r ked th a t th e d ra ft i s ess for horses, when going over Your experimental pavement at Whitehall ; and I think the Dente sort of paving would be found much superior to all others ba stable stalls and yards. Hoping to see it generally adopted, I remain, Gentlemen, your most obedient servant, ROBERT BLORE, Manager to the " London Conveyance Company." St. Alban's-mews, Paddington, April 23, 1840.

METROPOLITAN INFIRMARY for the CURE of STRICTURES of the URETHRA, GONORRHEA, GLEETS, SYPHILIS, &c. This Insti tution is closed, but as the Surgeon of it feels assured that there are hundreds suffering under the diseases, to the cure of which it was especially devoted, who would gladly avail them selves of his professional assistance, rather than place them selves under the charge of chemists, or, worse still, have re course to any of the dangerous and inefficient nostrums daily advertised, he has made arrangements to see patients at his own residence, at the mere expense to the patient of the neees sary medicine. Thus persons of limited means have now an opportunity of securing for themselves a mode of treatment that, whilst it is based on experience, is regulated by the pecu liarities which their own cases and constitutions may require; thereby freeing themselves from the absurdities and dangers that wait upon the employment of one kind of medicine for all forms of these diseases, without regard to these essential particulars.

ONE LAW FOR THE RICH, AND ANOTHER FOR THE POOR. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR-The above saying is true in the case of a young man of the name of Evenden, who has been transported for life for a robbery cornmited by him at the branch Post office at Charing-cross a few days ago. He was a letter carrier, receiving the sum of IL per week, and if he did extra duty his pay was 3s. more, which is very hard work now there is a great increase in the number of letters. He was twenty-one years of age, had been in the office about two years. The other case which I seriously entreat your attention to is that of an inspector, who was in the General Poat-office thirty years ; he was upwards of fifty years of age. H. made away with several sums of money belonging to the aforesaid office. What will your nume rous readers think was his punishment ? Transportation for life ? No. Two years' imprisonment? No—only six months' kind treatment in the Giltspur-street prison, such as no poor Chartist received in any of the prisons. Lovett and Collins, to wit. Why there should be such a difference made in the punishment of these two men I can not tell, except it is this, that one received 50/. a year, and the other about 400/. By letting the above appear in your excellent paper you will much oblige many of the badly paid twopenny-post letter.carriers, and none more than A POSTMAN OF TWENTY YEARS' STANDING. [We have repeatedly adverted to the unfair system which has so long prevailed in the Post-office Establish ment, of paying the public servants in the higher depart ments large salaries, while some of the hard-working let ter-carriers and letter-sorters arc limited to 195., and even 16s. a week ; and others, after many years' service, receive only 20s. or 255. a week. This certainly is miserable pay for a public servant; and now that the labour is increased, it would be only just and expedient that the pay should be increased also.] BIRMINGHAM AND GLOUCESTER RAILWAT.—We can now confidently state, that the Birmingham and Gloucester Railroad will be opened on or before the Ist of July next, from Barnt Green, eleven miles from this town to Cheltenham ; and by the end of the year it is fully calculated that the whole line will be com pleted and opened to the public from Birmingham to Cheltenham.—Birmingham Gazette. Mr. Wellsted, the author of " Travels in Ara bia," is, we observe, on the point of publishing a new book of travels, which must be eagerly looked forward to by all who have read his former delightful production. The Quarterly Review observed, with justice, that Mr. Wellsted is "an officer who neglects no opportunity in the midst of his professional du ties of extending our knowledge regarding sundryportions of the Eastern World, hitherto but very imperfectly explored." His new work bears the attractive title of " Travels to the City of the Caliphs, along the Shores of the Persian Gulph and the Mediterranean, including a Voyage to the Coast of Arabia, and a 'four on the Island of Socotra."

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) BIRMINGHAM, WEDNESDAY. Yesterday evening a most numerous and highly-re spectable meeting assembled in the Town Hall, for the purpose of receiving the Rev. W. Knibb, the well known Baptist Missionary, of Jamaica, on his arrival in this country, with Mr. E. Barrett and Mr. J. Beck ford, two emancipated Africans, as a deputation to the approaching Anti-Slavery Convention, to be held in London, for the total abolition of slavery and the slave-trade throughout the world. The time appointed for holding the meeting was seven o'clock, at which hour every portion of the Hall was filled by a most respect able audience who seemed to take a deep interest in the proceedings. The organ gallery was crowded by number of influential gentlemen, including Wesleyan, Baptist, and Independent ministers. Captain MooßsoM, R.N., on taking the Chair, was received with loud cheers, after which he opened the business of the evening in an appropriate speech. He said that they had been called together by the Bir mingham Anti-slavery Society for the purpose of giving a reception to the Delegates who had arrived from Jamaica to attend the Anti-Slavery Convention —a Convention, the object of which was to put down slavery of all kinds all over the world. The Rev. Mr. Knibb, with whose name they were familiar—(Cheers) — that burst of acclamation showed him that he need say no more of that gentleman —was accompanied by two men of colour, each of whom was a Deacon of a Baptist congregation, and they would !detail to the meeting the results of that emancipation, achieved by the efforts of the British people. They would leara from the statements made to them that evening, that attempts were being made to infringe the rights and liberties of the negroes, and to prevent them from choosing the masters they wished to serve, and the peculiar trades they wished to follow ; that attempts were being made to confine them both to place and bu siness. It would be, however, the duty of the friends of freedom in England to take care that no Bill received the Royal Assent which would in any way diminish the just rights of the people, and which would be, after all, but a repetition of the enactments of slavery. —(Hear, hear, hear.) The object of the Convention, was, as he had stated, to put an end to slavery. which unhappily was still carried on to a lamentable extent. It had been calculated by Mr. Powell Buxton that the slave trade annually consigned to misery, wretchedness, and death 375,000 of the natives of Africa, irrespective of thousands annually destroyed by Mahomedan slavery. To aid in the great work of de stroying this monstrous evil, the Rev. Mr. Knibb and his two friends had come amongst them, and he had no doubt they would give them a hearty welcome. JOSEPH STURGE, Esq., then came forward and in troduced Mr. J. Beckford to the meeting, o b serv i ng that he was deacon to a congregation in Jamaica, which he was in the habit'of addressing in his own chapel. As, however, he had never had an opportunity of speaking before so large an assembly as the present, he (Mr. Sturge) hoped they would give him their kind attention. Mr. BECKFORD, on presenting himself, was received with general acclamation by the meeting ; a ft er w hi c h he proceeded to address the assembly, but in so low a tone, that we could but imperfectly gather the sub stance of 11 . :s remarks. _ _ _ Mr. STURGE next introduced Mr. Barrett, with whom he had become acquainted in Jamaica. His history was rather interesting, and he should make an observa tion or two in reference to it. In the year 1832, when the horrors of slavery had driven part of the population of that island into a state of rebellion, the whole of the inhabitants of the Oxford Estate fled from it, !cavity, * all the property in the hands of the slaves ; but though the white men professing Christianity had doomed him to interminable slavery, and in his person had trampled on all laws, human and divine, Edward Barrett had learned from the religion of Christ, while in that bondage, that the only revenge he could take for the wrongs heaped upon him was to return good for evil ; and such was the influence he possessed over his fellow bondsmen, that he kept them quietly at work for six weeks, till the white men ventured to return. For this act, even the House of Assembly showed they entertained some value by voting him 101., and when the proprietor of the estate was informed of his conduct he offered him his freedom. Now Edward Barrett could tell them that no one could fully estimate the value of freedom, but those who had once been slaves. He, however, had a son arrived at the age of manhood, to whom the yoke of bondage was less en durable, and he therefore requested that his son might be liberated instead of himself.—( Loud applause.) This request was granted, and he had no prospect but that goods and chattles of hi s mas t er . of ending his days the But on the Ist of August, 1888, through their efforts, ' and the efforts of the British public generally, the last link of the chain which bound him and others in Ja maica was broken, he trusted, for ever.—( Hear, and cheers.) Mr. Barrett now stood before them a free man ; and while he knew they would rejoice in welcom ing him and his companions as Christian brethren, equal in all respects to themselves in the sight of God, he (Mr. Barrett) would rejoice to tell them what a glori ous change liberty had wrought for his countrymen in Jamaica.—(Cheers.) Mr. BARRETT here came forward and delivered a , short address, in the course of which he replied to some of the charges brought against the negroes, re specting the falling off in the production of sugar, by stating that while tile planters, during the time of slavery, compelled their children and wives to work in the fields from morning to night, they now sent their children to school, and allowed their wires to fill the station for which they were intended, that of attending to their families and homes. The Rev. Mr. KNIPB on presenting himself was re ceived with great enthusiasm. He assured the meet ing it was with no ordinary feelings of pleasure he arose on that occasion to unfold, as far as time would per mit, some of those glorious scenes that had transpired in Jamaica, and which bad been brought about by the united energies of the Christian Church, and of the philanthropic portion of the land of his birth. There was a fitness (at least it so appeared to him) that one of those who had witnessed the results of emancipation should make his first report in a town, not less re nowned for its manufacturing enterprise than for its determined opposition to slavery, wherever slavery was found to exist.—(Cheers.) When he remembered the different meetings that had been hold in Birmingham in behalf of the slave—when he remembered the ur gent appeals and glowing language used by man y o f those by whom he was surrounded—he felt he was dis charging some portion of that debt of gratitude which he could but feebly repay, in coming forward and lay ing before them some of the glorious results which had taken place in the island of Jamaica, and the different colonies by which it was surrounded. They had heard of the abolition of slavery—he had seen it. They had caught the distant sounds of liberty from the Western Archipelago—he bad stood amidst all their thunders, and his heart had beat with joy, and never, while me mory held her seat, or remembrance existed in his bo son, should he forget the joyous scenes he had witnessed on the memorable Ist of Au gust, when things became men, and those who were before but as goods and chattels stood in the possession of the common rights and privi leges with which God had endowed all his creatures. These glorious results had been mainly brought about by the efforts of a band of Christian Missionaries, who had only the consciousness of duty to support them ; men who were frowned on by those in power, for ever the objects of suspicion by the lovers of tyranny and op-' pression, till, under the power of Christianity, s l avery bowed to its benign and sacred influence.—(Cheers.) lie was aware that efforts had been made, and would still be made, to impugn the character of his beloved brethren ; he was aware it had been said that the sa cred duty of a Christian ministry had been surrendered for the stormy arena of political discussion ; but it was easier to make these charges than to prove them.— (Hear, hear.) If to defend the oppressed against the encroachments of arbitrary power—if to watch with untiring energy the first breathing of liberty in the in habitants of the West—if to sympathise with the wretched and u nfricnded, and strive by day and night to give them those rights of which they ought never to have been deprived—if to succour the infirm and the helpless when in distress and ready to despair—if to se ,' cure the hard-working peasant a just return for his labour—if to endeavour to disenthral his mind from the miasma and pollution of slavery, and teach him to think of his rights as a man—if to strike from the bands of the female the chain of loondage and place in its stead the child of her affection, and tell her that her home was her place, and not the unsheltered glare of a burning sun—if these things were political, then, indeed, would he acknowledge that the Baptist Ails sionaries of Jamaica had been political.—((; reat ap plause.) He had, in the city of Kingston, in Jamaica, in the town where be laboured, amongst a people whom he loved, publicly challenged his enemies to come for ward,:if they dared, and refute a single statement which he had made respecting their guilt, or the good conduct of those whom they lied so unjustly malign e d. H e should not insult an English audience by endeavour ing to refute the slander; which, day after day, and week after week, had been reiterated against him and his brethren ; he lied brought his accusers to the bar of justice, and defied them to prove a single act against then, but, like cowards, they had slunk from the task.—(Cheers.) He hoped he would be excused if, now and then, be referred to official documents as a proof that that which they had done had met with the approbation of those who were capable of judging of the rectitude of their conduct. The Rev. Gentleman here read extracts from the ad dress of the Baptist Missionaries of Jamaica to Sir Lionel Smith, on his retirement from the Government of that island, and the reply of his Excellency, in which Sir Lionel Smith bore testimony to the good effected by the whole body of Missionaries,':iind particularly to to the efforts of those who had contributed to fit the peasantry fur freedom amid persecutions, insults, and dangers, of no ordinary kin]. He (Mr. Knibb) should not have referred to the reply of Sir Lionel Smith were it not that the present Governor of Jamaica, before ha was twenty days in the colony, had dared to traduce the character of the whole body of Baptist Missionaries, not one of whom he had ever seen.—( Hear, her.) He knew it was right to speak of dignitaries with respect ; but the time was come when, if they were to respect those placed in authority over them, such men must at least respect themselves. The Rev. Gentleman here read extracts from a despatch of Sir Charles Metcalf, written twenty days after he had as• smiled the Government of Jamaica, and before (to the best of his Mr. Knibb's knowledge) he had visited a single estate, or come in contact with a single individual belonging to the body whom he so foully denounced,'eharging the Baptist Mis sionaries with entering into political partizanship, and being influenced by pecuniary considerations in the course which they adopted in reference to the negro population. Having vindicated himself and his brethren from these charges, the Speaker gl tneed at the results of emancipation, which had more han realised the ex pectations of their most ardent friends. It had been said, and truly said, that there iiad been a falling off in the produce of the sugar crop since the emancipation of the slaves ; but it had also been said, and most untruly said, that it was owing to the influence of the Baptist Missionaries that this result was to be attributed. It had been his (Mr. Knibb's) happiness to be called upon to form, in connection with an attorney in the island, the first scale of wages on a Jamaica estate, to which not the least exceptions were made by the people. But this was not all. They did not fix the price of wages—the planters had done this themselves. During the time of slavery, then the negroes applied to their masters with the view of purchasing their freedom, the latter were obliged to swear to the value of their daily labour before the price of manumis sion could be settled, and this they valued at four bits per day. Now, was it to be supposed that a man, hearing his master swear that his labour was worth four bits a day, would be disposed to place a lower value upon his work. But, yet, such was the desire of the Christian freemen to act justly, that they struck off ene third of the sum which their masters had sworn was their due, and cheerfully worked for two-thirds the sum.—(Cheers.) Not content with this noble conces sion, a meeting of planters was held to sec if they could not reduce the rate of wages still lower, but here the Missionaries felt it their duty to protect the people, and here they made a final stand.—( Hear and cheers.) They told the planters if the labour of sugar cultivation was not worth one shilling a-day, that it was time they turned their hands to something else. Another cause of the diminution of the produce of the estates in Jamaica referred to by Mr. Knibb was, that the plan ters refused to cultivate the land, under the impression that the negroes would not work. Another cause of the diminution in the produce was the unjust manner in which it was attempted to force exorbitant rents from the peasantry ; and lie regretted to say that by a law passed with the sanction of Sir Charles Metcalf, the owner of a house had the power of raising the rent every week if he pleased, and ejecting summarily by a written notice.—(Hear, hear.) To show still further the oppression to which the negroes were subject, if a father wished to work on another estate, or to send his children to school, he was charged tenpence a-week in the shape of rent for each child. But it might be said, "We want facts to prove these things." These facts and these proofs he was ready to produce. He held in his hand the following document, for the ' genuineness of which he pledged himself. It was a receipt from " John Spencer," for the sum of 11. for rent up to the 25th of January, 1840. The receipt was signed, " Edward Sedgwick." Appended to the document was the following notice :—" Every first-class labourer who has been working off the pro perty will be required to pay Is.8(1. per week, and all above ten years old 10(1. per week, and must work five days in the week, otherwise Is. Bd. will be charged to the first class, and 10d. to the second, for every day they absent th e ms e l ves w ith out a sat i s f actory reason. " --( Hear, hear.) Did they call this freedom ?—(" No, no.") This, however, was what was called freedom in Jamaica, and it was political agitation when they en deavoured to put down a system based on fraud. cruelty, and oppression.—(Cheers.) But this was not all. Another cause of the diminution of the produce, end one which the planters could not get over, was this, that the women had gone to their proper station in their families, and their children had gone to their schools. Time meeting was doubtless well aware that in the time of slavery the mother was obliged to surrender her child when a month old to some mercenary on the estate, and return themselves to the gang in the field, where they were compelled to labour from morning till night. And did they suppose that the agents of freedom in Jamaica would have done their duty if they had not attempted to prevent this ? No, no ; every one would be delighted to answer, in whose bosoms glowed the feelings of human beings, and he confessed that he for one was delighted to find these women attending to their domestic duties, and the chil dren hastening to their schools to receive that instruc tion which, he trusted, would make them wise unto salvation. Mr. Knibb here referred to the rapid pro gress which education was making amongst the people, and added it was impossible to deny that the amount of the sugar crop had decreased, but if they re ceived in this country less sugar, they exported to their West Indian Colonies a much larger quantity of their manufactured goods ; and if they had not enough of sugar to supply the home consumption, there were other countries to get. it from. He would, however, mention one fact, that would speak for itself, as a proof that emancipation had not operated injuriously on the cultivation of sugar. Before leaving Jamaica, he called upon a proprietor of an estate, named Daniel Hart, an Israelite, and informed him that he was going to Eng gland, and wished to know how the people got on, and how his estate thrived, and the reply was, " I get on capitally, I give the people four bits a-day, and I charge them nothing for rent, as I wish to keep them on tho property." On Mr. Bowden's estate in St. Thomas in the East, the people received 2s. 6d. a-day currency, as he could show by the overseer's books, and yet the pro duce had realized within the last two years the sum of 4,0001., the original cost of the property. Mr. Hoskins, a gentleman residing on another estate, told him that the manufacture of the rum paid all the contingencies, and that he was enabled to send all the sugar home as clear profit.—(Cheers.) In referring to the conduct of the people themselves, Mr. Knibb said it was above all praise. It was a fact that there was not a labouring- population on the earth so free from crime as the labouring population of Ja maica. He could prove this from the records of the Courts of Law in Jamaica. At the last Assize Court of Montego licy, amongst a population of 125,000 indi viduals, only nineteen were charged with offences. Of this number six were white men ; of the remainder thirteen were acquitted, and there was not a female amongst them all.—(Cheers.) In the parish in which he himself resided, containing a population of 35,000 persons, only one prisoner was committed for trial in the space of three months.—(Loud cheers.) He went to the House of Correction at Trelawney be fore he left the island, to see all that could be seen, in order that he might be enabled to tell all that could be told, and asked permission to go on the treadmill, when the Governor said to him, " Mr. Knibb, there is no use concealing the truth, but ever since the Ist of August we have never been able to muster hands enough to turn it, and the mill has become rusty, and is going to pieces."—(Loud cheering.) In the parish of St. Anne's the gaol had been shut up for the last six months, and the keeper had been put on half-pay till ha was again required.—(Laughter and cheers.) In the parish of Westmoreland, in which a deacon of his own Church had been flogged for praying to God, the prison was in ruins, for there was no one to tenant it. These were facts which he should resound through out England, and let his enemies deny them if they could. Out of the whole number of those professing Chris tianity in the Baptist Church—and they had 50,000 at least ou t o f t hi s number ; and it was equally true with respect to the professors belonging to other deno nainations—only one individual had been brought to the bar of his country since the Ist of August, 1838, and he was acquitted of the crime laid to his charge.— (Cheers.) Mr. Knibb, in conclusion, called the atten tion of the meeting to the Vagrant laws recently enacted, co c u o l n d yie st t i io ll n b o e f w a •or s k in ec g l ie in i‘ c i l a i g a i i s n t s ra f t o e r , a s b i y xty wh d ic a h ys, rem on ale t s he %v n is d do t m hei o r r m th ag ei i r str i a n t t e e s lli w g e en re ce. not i c ,:i el s eb i r n a iri te u d ito fo u r s their A .ct had been passed since Sir Lionel Smith left the island ; and he trusted all who heard him would join heart and hand in denouncing these unjust and iniquitous enactment s , and urging on the British Govern:neat the policy and the justice of getting rid of them.—(Loud applause.) The Rev. Gentleman closed his address by an able and powerful appeal to professing Christians and ministers of religion in America to renounce the holding and traffic of slaves, and wash for ever from their hands a stain which was alike disgraceful and inoonsistent to thew as ea and Christians. The Rev. Mr. MORGAN then came forward to pro pose a rosolution which had been entrusted to him, and, FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. ( From the Morning Chronicle.) Sir Robert Peel supported the Bill, and Lord Morpeth opposed it, after which the House divided, when the numbers were—. For going into Committee Against it _ _ Majority for going into Committee --2-13 The House have thus decided, by a majority of three, that they will go into a Committee on this most insulting measure; and Lord Howick, and his brother-in-law, Mr. Charles Wood, will have the satisfaction of being able to say, " We, by our votes, did it." They may rest as sured that their services, at this critical moment, in aiding the Tories to regain the ascendancy in Ireland of which the Reform Bill deprived them, that through this accession they may in turn regain in England what they lost through the measure with which Earl Grey's name has been identified, will be remembered long after last night. We cannot look into Lord Howick's heart, and we V 6 ill not impute motives to him, but his heart can only be defended at the expense of his head. If he meant to strike a blow at Ministers, all we can say is, that he himself will sensibly feel the recoil. We can only say that we lament this decision. It has been said that the objectionable provisions of the Bill may be struck out in Committee. To be sure they can. But if this is ground for going into Committee, the House ought to show that favour to every absurd or pernicious Bill laid upon their table. The Sabbath Bills of Sir Andrew Agnew are capable of being amended in Committee by expunging their pharisaical enactments. But the sound doctrine is, that the House of Commons ought not to waste the public time, or degrade itself, by discussing masses of preposte rous or mischievous details ; and certainly there never came before it a tissue of enactments, in the shape of a Bill, more imperiously requiring to be dealt with by the summary power the House possesses for the abatement of Legislative nuisances. ( From the Morning Advertiser.) Though it would undoubtedly be a gross dereliction of duty in any Member of the House of Commons truly re presenting the people of Ireland, to omit any legitimate means of defeating the Irish Disfranchisement Bill of Lord Stanley, yet we can by no means approve the evasion of an issue on the question by repeated motions of adjourn. ment, in defiance, not only of overwhelming majorities of the Members present, but of a majority embracing more than two-thirds of the Members of the whole House. It is, even in a good cause, a &lige:oes precedent, and one of which a factious minority may subsequently avail itself for the worst purposes. At best it is an indecorous trifling with the /louse and the country, for the postponement of a result which it cannot ultimately avert. (From the Morning Herald.) Lord Stanley's motion that the House do resolve itself into Committee on the Irish Registration Bill was, last night, carried by a majority of THREE. Never did Minis ters resist any motion more strongly; never was there offered to any motion opposition more factious, more un principled, than has been offered to Lord Stanley's motion by the habitual supporters of Government. Yet, despite bluster, and shuffling, and impudent trickery, Ministers, backed by their Irish brigade, have been signally discom • fired—on a question, too, which they have proclaimed to be of vital importance. This fresh defeat will, of course, only induce the Queen's advisers to cling more closely than ever to office. (From the Morning Post.) We heartily congratulate the country on another triumph gained by the friends of genuine representation over those who desire to perpetuate the dominion of fraud and perjury over the elections of Members of Par liament. The division on the motion for going into Com mittee on Lord Stanley's Bill, for the registration of vo ters in Ireland, took place last eight in one of the fullest houses ever known. The numbers were-- For the motion Against it Majority against Ministers —3 An attempt, we perceive, was made after this division to induce Lord Stanley to abandon the measure. We would earnesly dissuade his Lordship from listening to a suggestion at once so cunning and so audacious. The noble cause in which he has embarked is worth fighting out ; and if fought out, as his Lordship is capable of fight ing it, at the head of the zealous and indefatigable phalanx of patriots whom he has thus far triumphantly led, it will assuredly be won. It is of the utmost importance that the Bill should go to the House of Lords as little mutilated as possible; and even should it be considerably impaired in Committee, still it is in the highest degree desirable that it should go there. (From the Tunes.) The dull debate, worn threadbare on Tuesday night, was then opened by Mr. Hume, who opposed Lord Stan ley's Bill in a tiresome speech on Irish affairs in general. He compared the number of Irish with the number of English electors, complaining that the proportion of Irish is tco small. He repeated the often-disproved allegation that the object of this Bill was to disfranchise the people of Ire land, He entered upon the Catholic question, and con demned the opinions of a party who, he said, were trying to restore the obsolete penalties against the Papists. During the whole of this speech a large body of Conser vatives, wiih truly patriotic patience, sat fast on their benches, and defeated the object of those Radicals who had hoped, not perhaps without some reasonable ground, that the speech of their Kilkenny comrade would rdduce the House to a state in which it might be counted out. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. (wEnsEsnAr xvENINo.) HERALD.—The people engaged in speculations for the rise, arc not so sanguine to-day as even yesterday. Consols declined to 92y to 1 for Money and for the Account. Exchequer Bills went down to 21 to 23 prem. Bank Stock 176 to . Money still continues in de. mand, and is worth 4 per cent. on the Stock Exchange for short periods, which is equal to a larger rate out of doors. There is no doubt the Bank of England begins to be alarmed, and therefore is curtailing its discounts, v,ith a view to diminish its liabilities in respect of the circulation. The reason is said to be, that the tendency to speculations in Shares and Foreign Funds has alarmed the Directors ; upon which it may be observed, without impugning their superior means of knowledge and ability, that capital, in the shape of deposits, upon which they are presuming to act, will seek beneficial employment in one way or the other, with or without their consent. Bank action must be confined to deposits, for in respect of bills there is little latitude allowed. SUN.—We have just received the Amsterdam Pa pers of yesterday's date.
