We have the misfortune to differ from his Grace on many other points as well as this. The returns, except one stating what ships were building, and ordered to be built, and in what state of forwardness, were ordered to be laid on the table , and their Lordships adjourned. A considerable number of petitions were presed nexten sion of the Suffrage ; which demand w ill the Commons for extension of the Churl most favourable consideration of the House , receive an e tpres t e h n e t we do not pretend to conjecture. Mr. PAKINGTON brought Sale of Beer.

Mr. WALL f r om carr i ers A o f petitionth e squirepresented w.h complaining of Railway Companies, was referred to the Committee on Railways. Mr. GODSON postponed his motion for documents concerning the Newport case till Tuesday. Notices of motions were given by Sir Joiiw Waal'', to propose a resolution on Feb. 20, that a Legislative enact ment ought to be brought in to settle the dispute between the House of Commons and the Courts of Law ; by M r . Holm for copies of correspondence relative to o buys, byys '- - -an r d . certain monopolies abolished by the Porte ; and by Sir EDWARD SUGDEN, to draw attention to the Courts of Justice and likuity. A little further conversation took place about the Hill Coolies and the Mauritius, from which it appears that the Government will give the Houses of Parlia ment an opportunity of coasidering the subject before it adopts a final determination. Sir CHARLES KNIGHTLEY, who seems a perfect model of a country gentleman, informed the CHAN CELLOR of the EXCIEQUER that the Post-office de partment was not able to pay its own expenses, at which the CHANCELLOR expressed his astonishment, as he had net heard of it. With true Tory zeal, too, the Baronet made a complaint about letters of his, which had been posted, and had not reached their destination, as if a letter was never lost under the old regime, though we never before heard of a Mem ber of Parliament making it a matter of complaint in the House of Commons. The letter carriers must take care, or the Baronet will probably call them to the bar for a breach of privilege. Another Hon. Member complained of money having been lost which was transmitted by the Post-office. Such accidents happened before the Penny Post, and were not talked of in the House of Commons. The Sergeant-at-Arms announced that THOMAS Boa- TON HOWARD, STOCKDALE'S Attorney, was in custody. He was ordered to the Bar, and having admitted that his name was endorsed on the new writ which had been issued against Messrs. HANSARD, and that it was issued on account of a publication made by the House, Lord Join; RUSSELL moved that he had been guilty of a high contempt of the privileges of the House. Sir R. INGLIS, Sir E. SUGDEN, and Mr. SHAW, sought to ward off the blow levelled against Mr. HOWARD. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL and Mr. WARBURTON pressed it home; and the latter said that the Congress in the United States maintained the right to judge of their own privileges. Lord J. RUSSELL'S resolution was carried by 147 to 45, and Mr. HOWARD was ordered to be committed to Newgate, by 149 to 46. Mr. EMERSON TENNENT obtained leave to bring in a Bill to regulate Stage-carriages in Ireland, the Hon. Member beirr , determined, as Sir R. PEEL hinted, to take out of the hands of Government the whole task of proposing laws for Ireland. Sir JOHN HOBHOUSE, after recapitulating some of the services of Lord AUCKLAND and the Army of India, moved a vote of thanks to them, in which, after several Hon. and Right Hon. Gentlemen had expressed their approbation of it. the House unanimously concur-' ' red, and a vote of thanks was passed. Lord ASHLEY withdrew his motion on the subject of Mr. PARE, not however without expressing a determi- Cal to bring the whole question of Socialism before the Ito use, and not without throwing out some reflections or, .Mr. PARE, which occasioned some little disorder, as M r , WARBURTON for some time, contrary to the wish of the House, insisted on vindicating Mr. PARE. At length the Hon. Member gave it up, to perform that ju st office on some future occasion. Sir F. TRENCH made his favourite motion to substi tt ite wax lights for the Bude light, in the House. The gi 2neral opinion was in favour of the latter, and decidedly it favour of giving it a longer trial. What may be its of fects on the lower part of the House we cannot judge, bat it appears in the gallery to ba by far the best mode of illuminating a large building we have ever tvitnessed. Sir FREDERICK'S motion, we are happy to say .was lost by 69 to 30 ; so the House retains the soft anttibeautiful 131.0. e light. Mr. BARNEBY was refused leave, by 57 to 17, to bring in a Bill to relieve Counties from the Liability of Repairing Bridges. His project was not countenanced - ,,by the county gentlemen. Mr. Fox MAULS moved a resolution, to prevent •Surnpike Roads, by any private bills, from being ex ! etnpted from the provisions of a Bill, hereafter to be lipa.ssed, for the better arrangement of Turnpike Trusts, I. -wh:ch was agreed to . After Mr. WALLACE had obtained a return of the , - number of causes instituted in the Court of Session in 1839, and the Report of the Committee of Ways and Means had been brought up, the House adjourned a t a i 1 _few minutes past Ten.

THE SON WILL ALSO CONTAIN A FULL ACCOUNT OF THE AUGUST CEREMONY, WITH ALL PARTICU LARS APPERTAINING TO SO IN TERESTING AN OCCASION. That what we wish we are prone to believe, is a p roverbial truth. That we readily believe N;rhat pl eases us, and try to disbelieve what is displeasin.g, is an axiom of the same character. It results from 7theL , e common and general observations, that belief will, in all cases, be much more dependent on the pleasure or pain given us by any theory, doctrine, or system, than on its absolute truth or falsehood. This is an important principle, which is overlooked in most of the discussions on the merits of the Church and the Government, by those who enjoy exclusively their advantages. I'he Archbishop of CANTERBURY, for ex a;,,nple, has about 18,000 reasons a year, with all tite respect and enjoyment they can bring, for be lieving that the doctrines of the Church are perfect truth. Accordingly he never doubts it. Tile Bishop of LONDON has about 14,000 reasons, and the Bishop of EXETER about 6,000, besides all the pleasures of considerable patronage, of great worldly distinction, and indeed all the enjoy ments which this world can afford, for em bracing the same belief as their Alost Reve rend Brother. It is not for us to say whethe r t.'te belief be right or wrong, true or false ; bet.t we may be permitted to say that the bulk of the population have not the bribes of a large in eorn e and an honourable station to cherish that fervent belief in the doctrines of the Church which is professed and inculcated by the clergy. The Earl of Exam. brought down her MAJESTY'S All the Reverend Prelates who spoke in the answer to the Bishop of EXETER's address concerning debate on Tuesday evening complained bitterly of the Socialists. Her MAJESTY told the Lords that a the increase of Socialism. Now the bulk of the full inquiry should be made into the matter, and that Socialists belong to the poorer classes, and consist they might rely on her discouraging all doctrines that are dangerous to morality and reli g i on .

He offered it to the poor, and for a long time they did not understand it, nor had they the means of acting on it. But how did he offer it to them, and how have they at length come to follow it in considerable multitudes ? He went about amongst them, and he employed others to go about amongst them, to ;ireach up its advan tages. He reduced it to practice in one or two instances, and believed that he had succeeded. He made no pretence of showing men the way to Heaven ; he preached happiness on earth. He described in glowing colours the great advantages of the co operative as contrasted with the competitive system of society. He asserted that all men might live at ease, and live in enjoyment, like the Bishops. The Socialist tracts abound in representations of peace, plenty, virtuous contentment, and happiness to be enjoyed by all the members of the co-operative communities. Men have been tempted into them by the assertions that they can all be made to live at their ease and in enjoyment like the lay and spiri tual Peers. Socialism, therefore, is altogether a system for this world, and it is the belief that it can procure many advantages here which has col lected thousands of the poorer classes around Mr. OWEN'S standard. It is another illustration of the principle that belief is more dependent on the plea sure derived from any doctrines than on their abso lute truth or falsehood. It is another illustration of the fact that the physical destitution of the many makes them eager for new guides, and ready to listen to any doctrines which promise them relief. Of the religious opinions professed by Mr. OWEN we have no desire further to speak than merely to refer to what appears to be their origin. It was soon forced on his attention that the right of pro perty stood in the way of his co-operative principle, and lay at the bottom of the competition to which Le was opposed. But foolish parsons and foolish politicians have sought to connect the right of pro perty with religion, and throw around it the sanctity of an ordinance sanctioned by revelation from the Deity. They have endeavoured to bolster up political iniquities by ascribing them to a Divine origin; they have claimed the Divine sanction for the present political orders of society, which, in Mr. OWEN'S opinion, are the source of so many evils ; and hence, as it appears to us, he was led to ques tion the utility of the right of property, and led to examine and condemn the prevalent systems of re ligion, because they interfered with his social ar rangements. His form of society does not grow, like that of the Monks or the Rappites, out of his religious opinions, but his form of society, which was altogether dictated by worldly consider ations, led to his conclusions as to religion. Now this explanation of his system makes it, as it appears to us, entirely a subject for the reflec tions of the politician—for the deep, profound, meditations of statesmen on the condition of the poor, with which the priests, as such, as the guar dians and preservers of a particular species of knowledge which only bears incidentally on the re lations of this life, and is chiefly intended to show mankind the way to life everlasting, have nothing whatever to do. They, however, have taken up the subject of Socialism, and the Right Rev. Bishop of EXETER, in the House of Peers, supported and followed by some bigoted pupils, we suppose of his own, amongst the Tories in the other House, has called, or is to call, for a persecution of the Socialists, not be- cause they claim to be the authors of a new revelation, conflicting with Christianity, but because certain earthly principles which they have adopted lead them to deny or doubt the doctrines teaching a be lief in which confers such immense advantages on the priesthood. Some time ago the Bishop of EXETER persecuted in his own diocese the Me thodists and other Di ssen t ers . W e b e li eve he was beaten in the contest, though aided by the Tories. The whole Church party, in fact, within recollec tion, were as outrageously violent against the Dis senters as they have of late been courteous, hoping for their aid to crush the Catholics. Latterly the Catholics have been the objects of the Bishop's persecuting hostility ; and the Catho lics having grown too powerful to be assailed with impunity and success, the Bishop and the ' clergy now fall foul of the Socialists. They think that the Socialists are yet so weak, that over theni they can achieve a great triumph. They are equally cowardly and mischievous. We trust, however, for the sake of perfect toleration, that the priest. hood will be defeated. Let them now be encou raged, by the law being directed against the So cialists, to persecute men for a difference of opi nion, or a difference of faith, and where can they stop ? If A theism be a crime, surely Deism, in the eyes of the Bishops, must also be a crime. In fact, they and their journals denounce the Socinians as worse than Atheists. If the Socinians may be punished, why not those who persist in seeing in the win e and the bread, not symbols of salvation, but the actual body and blood of the Saviour? If the Catholics may be oppressed for their opinions, why not the Methodists, or the Baptists, or the Puseyites, or any sect of the Anglican Church, by any other sect which happens to have a pre dominance of politicr! power? The Dissenters and Catholics were excluded from office on account of their opinions ; of late, a furious attempt has been made to turn out the Ministry because they appointed a Catholic to office, and now they are to be censured for having given a place to a Socialist. Such an uncharitable system ought to be univer sally decried, as equally contrary to good policy and sincere Christianity. The Standard says that the Ministers and their friends are far from being satisfied with the result of the debate and the division on Sir JoHN YARDE BULLER'S motion. If they be not they are a most unreasonable set of men, for both the debate and the division turned out much more to their advantage than they anticipated. The same Standard which contains what we have quoted, also contains a letter blaming two Conservatives for voting with the Ministers, which shows a balance in favour of the Ministers of four more than they expected. The greatest majority, in fact, which their friends anti cipated, was 16 ! The Tories set the Ministerial majority down as extremely doubtful ; they would not have brought forward the motion without a great probability of success ; and as the majority was 21 against them, it overtopped all the hopes of the Whigs and esually* disappointed the Tories. So much for the division; as to the debate we have already pointed out some very important particulars, in which all its advantages were on the side of the Ministers, and will not now repeat them. If the Tories had the ad vantage of mere eloquence, which their scribes claim, and we deny, it is impossible to withhold from the Ministers the praise of superior honesty and superior sagacity. The Tories proved them selves hypocrites—the Ministers were only charged with a want of discretion. The Tories proved themselves, by their own statements, totally in adequate now to govern the empire, and they only accused the Ministers of incapacity. The House of Commons decided that the charge was not proved ; and while the Ministers were exonerated, the brand remains on the Tories with which they stamped themselves. There is one statement made by the Tory Journals in which we are disposed to concur. They say, that had the question been, " Has the House confidence in the Whig Ministers ?" the majority would have been the other way. It is supposed that there are many Members who, while they voted to keep in the Whigs as far better than the Tories, are by no means satisfied with them, and would vote, if the question were asked, that they had not confidence in them. But all those and many more would, if a similar question were asked as to the Tories, vote that they had no confidence what ever in them. If such a question were put as to a Ministry composed of Sir IL PEEL, Sir .J. GRA HAM, and Lord STANLEY, the whole body of the Whigs and Radicals, and not a few of the Ultra- Tories, if they are as honest as the Radicals, would vote a negative. Now this shows a somewhat re markable coincidence between the opinion of the House of Commons and the opinion of the public. Not o n e twentieth of the people profess confidence in the Tories —a very s mall, though noisy and bust.. ling, minority indeed, who, being maintained in idle ness out of the annual produce of industry, devote themselves to getting up a semblance of public ()pi- ! nion, b u t t h e b u lk o f t h e na ti o n are decidedly anti- Tory. A l arger proport i on , but perhaps not above a fifth of the whole people, profess confidence in the Whigs. Out of the House of Commons, therefore, as in the House of Commons, the naijo.. rity has not confidence in the Whigs, and has a inot determined distrust of the Tories. So far as the Tory Journalists perceive this general want of confidence in the politicians of both parties, and assert it, we agree with them, and consider it to be one of the more remarkable circumstances of our age— very remarkable as that is on account of the poli tical opinions entertained—which cannot receive too much attention. We are not now going to account for it, but it is palpable, from the strong opinions recently ex pressed on public questions, at public meetings of all parties, that the bulk of the community, whether consisting of Tories or Radicals, Agriculturists or Manufacturers, Chartists or Ultra-Protestants, con siders itself wiser than the Government, and far wiser than Tory statesmen. Political discussion and the wants of individuals have, in fact, made the great public as well acquainted with the mode of promoting the general welfare as the little knot of statesmen who engross the management of public af fairs. Men only repose confidence, however, in those whom they regard as skilful and wise, or superior to themselves. At present it is generally asserted that the statesmen of neither party are more skilful, wiser, or more sagacious—so far as their conduct seems to prcmote the public warfare—than the bulk of the community ; and the consequence is a general want of confidence in all statesmen. When it is said that the majority of the House of Com mons has not confidence in either Tory statesmen or Whig Ministers, it is asserted that the House, to a certain extent, faithfully represents public •pinion. A brief report of the proceedings in a Church rate case will be found in another part of the paper. It will be seen that the Ecclesiastical authorities have got a sturdy Non-conformist to deal with in Mr. BUTLER, the present being the sixth attempt to saddle him with the payment of Church -rates, which he, to use his own forcible expression, has upset. One of the quorum, who sat in judgment in this case, a gentleman of the name of WALMSLEY, re marked " that objections to Church-rates were mor e matters of the pocket than of principle—that every country ought to have some religion established by law, and whatever that was it ought to be sup ported." We say nothing of the truth and charity of the first of these remarks, but we think the worthy and worshipful Justice WALMSLEY is not alto gether aware of the consequences which follow from his second and third propositions. Would this gentleman, then, become a citizen of the world in matters of religion ? Would he be a Protestant in England, a Catholic in Italy, a Mahometan in Turkey, a Buddhist in China ? Is not his prin ciple a little too latitudinarian ? He reminds us of a speech which Lord Chancellor THURLOW once made to an old Presbyterian friend, who rallied him on a vote which he had given in the House of Lords on a religious question, in opposition to his previously professed sentiments. " I voted," said the Chancellor in his usual gruff manner, " for the Established Religion of the country, and if your d—d religion had bean established, I would have voted for that." Letters from Constantinople and Alexandria, both of the 17th ult., represent the renewal of the war between the Viceroy and the Porte as highly probable. Should they come to blows the Porte will be backed by Eng land, Austria, and Russia, who are said to be united in a determination to oppose by force, if necessary, the claims of MEHEAIET Au. The VICEROY, on his part, relying upon his own good fortune and the support of France, has refused to yield an iota of his pretensions ; and it is reported that he is organizing an immense army throughout every part of his dominions, to enforce his claims by the sword. Smyrna letters state that the British fleet had been ordered to return to Malta. On the 17th the Asia, Vanguard, B en b ow , B e ll ero ph on , and Ganges, s a il e d from Vourla for that island, and Admiral Stopford followed them on the 18th in the Princess Charlotte. The Echo de l'Orient states that these ships would return to Ourlac immediately after being revictualled in Malta. The Paris Journals of Wednesday state that the King of the FRENCH has been constrained to submit to the Committee of the Chamber of Deputies, to whom the Duke DE NEMOURS Appanage Bill was re ferred, an account‘, of his income from private sources, with a view to satisfy France that he was not able to provide for his family. According to this account the KING'S annual income as a private individual amounts to 140,0001. from which must be deducted charges of collection, management, and the like. This is a hand some sum ; but as it is proved that his MAJESTY ex pends very large sums in public works and for the bene fit of the nation generally, and as the submitting such a statement respecting his private affairs to the Depu ties is an act of great condescension, it is believed that very little opposition will be henceforth offered to the proposed grant to the second son of his MAJESTY, on the occasion of his marriage. It was rumoured in Paris on Wednesday, that the KING was about to appoint the Duke DE BROGLIE, Minister of Foreign Affairs ; SOULT to remain in the Cabinet as President of the Council and Minister of War. No man in France, with the single exception of M. TRIERS, understands the question of Foreign Policy better than M. DE BaoaLtE. MAZATLAN, Nov. li- - \Ve learn by the b r i g J osep h Peabody, corning from th e Uussian possessions in the north west coast of America, and from California, that in the month of itugust last a French frigate had anchored at the Sandwich Islands, for the purpose of obtaining either a reparation or an indemnity from the Government of those islands, for having, in 1837, expelled the French Roman Catholic missionaries. The Captain of the frigate de manded:- 1. That 20,000 dollars should be delivered on board his vessel, to remain in the hands of the French Government as a securit) for the good faith of the islanders. 2. A treaty stipulating the importation of French goods free of duty. 3. Permission for the R.oman Catholic missionaries to reside in the island, and to continue their evangelical Mission. The Captain gave notice likewise that, if his demands were not complied with in 'l4 hours, the frigate would fire on the town of Honolulu, and that every arrangement had been made for that purpose. Before the expiration of the time fixed the treaty was signed, and the 24,000 dollars on board the frigate. Several Roman Catholic missionaries who were waiting for the result of the negociation imme diately landed, and have already begun to build a Chapel. —Le Con4titutionell.

The late hour at which the debate concluded on Satur day morning would, no doubt, be the cause of the delay. —Edinburgh Courant, of Monday.—The Sun was pub lished by six, and the Times at half-past nine on Satur day morning ; and 7 1 / 2 e Sun gave fully one-half more of the speech of Lord John Russell than the Times. Tho Times gives the following reason for curtailing the speech :—' If we were to attempt to do justice to-day to the speeches of Lord John Russell and Sir Robert Peel our Paper could not possibly be published till late in the afternoon. We understand that the dinner of her Majesty's tradesmen to celebrate the happy event of the Royal nuptials, is to take place in the great hall of the Free mason's Tavern, on Monday next. Mr. Leslie, of Con duit-street, has been unanimously appointed the Chair man of the day. We are happy to find that an invita tion has been sent to every tradesman (in each of the departments) who has the honour to serve her Majesty. - , - PRINCE ALBERT AND THE HOUSE OF SAIONY..PubIic curiosity, we are glad to observe, may now be fully j, , ratified on t h e su bj ec t of our Gracious Queen's Con sort. 111 r. Colburn has just published a milli volume, entitled, " Paince Alb ert and the House of Saxon)," which we under stand has been written on tho first authority, and contains the most accurate information respecting the origin, history, and present state of the illustrious House from which Prince Albert, and indeed her Majesty herself, are descended. Be sides furnishing the most authentic, historical, and genealogical iletails relative to the ancestors of her Majesty and the Prince, it contains a fund of interesting biographical particulars and curious anecdotes, such as are rarely seen collected in so small a compass. As a proof of the ability of the writer for such a task, it may be mentioned that he was on a former occadon hr noured by the presentation of a gold medal from the King of Saa,r,y, mm as a ru* of his Royal approbation. As are are other publicatio ns ox t h e su bj ec t, Ow public should b e care f u l in ordering the M emo i r published by Me. Colhurn, THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE.

LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKE.T, THURSDAY.—The sales this day are 4000 bales at steady prices. The New York packet-ship Louis Phillippe has arrived at Havre, sailed on the 18th of January, brings a distressing ac count of the loss by fire of the Lexington steamer, going from New York to Boston, having on board one hundred and seventy five passengers ; all the efforts of the captain to save the above vessel was useless, and we are sorry to announce that all on beard, with the exception of three, perished. In respect to commercial affairs there was a tolerable busi ness done in Stocks on the 17th, but the prieesireceded, with the exception of the United States Bank Shares, which were done from 84i to 841. We have to relate that another steamer took fire. The Belle of Messaurie, going from New Orleans to Saint Louis, which took place on the 2.5 th of December, in the evening. ' The flames burst with such rapidity that the passengers had scarce time to save themselves, being obliged to abandon all their baggage ; in all probability the Whole on board would have perished had not the vessel been near the shore when the fire took place. A few minutes after the alarm was given the names communicated to a great quantity of gunpowder on board. The explosion was dreadful, and the vessel went to pieces. The only arrival this morning worth notice is the express from Paris, which brings an account from Havre of the arrival there of the French packet from New York, which sailed on the 18th January, four days later than our last arrival from the above port.

We have received the Journal of Antwerp, of yesterday's date, but it does not contain any intelligence worth notice. From Amsterdam, of the 4th February, it is stated that the 'Change on that day was entirely different to the preceding one. In Dutch Stoeks there were several sellers, which caused a de cline; with the exception of the integrales, business was animated. The actions of the Society of Commerce, in consequence of realizing, fell from 1741, and 175 fell to 1731. In the Foreign Funds little was done.

We have heard very favourable reports respecting it, and cordially hope that its success will be commensurate with the merits of it amiable and talented author. Sir George Crewe, Bart., has directed his agent, Mr. Muirclarke, to distribute the sum of 1001. among the clergy on his Staffordshire estates, to be expended by them in nothing. FlRE—Great confusion and alarm were caused here on Sunday evening by a cry of " Fire" in various parts of the town. It was soon ascertained that the cause of alarm was in the stable yard of Colonel Wyndham, where the chimney of the "boiling house" had caught fire. The fire-engine of Pet worth House, and also that of the town, were instantly on the spot ; and we are happy to say that the flames were suppressed without extending further. A report prevailed a few days back, in Paris, that M. Jules Janier, the celebrated wrilitr of the feuilleiens in the Journal des Debats, had been killed in a duel. In Mon day's feuilleton M. Jules Janier begs to assure his readers that he is not dead, and trusts that they will credit his assertion. THAMES T UNNEL.—Yesterday the Dundee steam-ship, on her way down the river, about ten o'clock in the morning, the tide having nearly run out, grounded upon the Thames Tunnel, and created the greatest alarm to the spec tators on both sides of the river, both for the safety of the ves sel and the arch of the tunnel. The alarm on board the Dundee amongst the few paasengers was also very great, from the wind, shortly after the vessel had struck, heeling her over on her starboard quarter; shortly before eleven o'clock, however, the tide began to low, and the magnificent vessel was observed getting her steam up, and shortly after slowly moving onwards, when she preceeded on her voyage, without, it is believed, sus taining any serious injury. The crown of the arch upon which this ponderous vessel rested is not supposed to be in jured, although the workmen in the Tunnel state that they could hear her grating along the top of it. The Dundee is a steamer of the largest class, and draws thirteen feet water ; and the propriety of her proceeding down the river at low water may be questioned, especially as it was only last week she went on shore at Limehoase, and was not got off for nearly an hour. ALBERT BOOTS.—Messrs. Llewelly and Nash, of Bristol, have recently manufactured a magnificent pair of boots for Prince Albert. The legs are of morocco, turned over with purple velvet, and elegantly embroidered with gold : in the centre are the royal arms, surrounded by the letters V. A. underneath are the words nous SeTVOII3, "we serve," on either side the arras are wreaths of the rose, shamrock, and thistle, which are ecntinued round the leg. The inside lining and straps are of gold, and the lower part of the boots of patent leather, beautifully stitched with white silk; the sole is most exquisitely finished, and the heels are of silver, secured with gold plugs, in the centre of which is a crown and the letters P. A. in gold. The box in which they are to be pre sented is of the handsomest mahogany, lined with crimson cloth, and bears upon the cover the royal arms. .1 Wheat._ s. to s. 74 86 63 70 60 78 64 76 70 80 50 81 50 85 56 77 '72. 78 56 84 ARRIVAL OF PRINCE ALBERT (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) DOVER, FE➢. 6, 1840. His Serene Highness Prince Albert, accompanied by the Duke of Saxe Coburg and the Hereditary Prince Ernest, and attended by Lord Torrington and the Hon. Colonel Grey, arrived from Calais this after noon, in her Majesty's steam-packet Ariel, 3. Hamil ton, commander, convoyed by her Majesty's steamer Firebrand, commanded by Lord Clarence Paget. They landed under a salute from the Western Heights, and were received by Colonels Munro and Thomson, Ma jors Slade and Stopford, and the other officers of the garrison, and by Captain Boteler and the officers of the Navy. A guard of honour from the 90th was in at. tendance. The Prince and his illustrious relatives proceeded immediately to Payn's York Hotel. The piers and wharfs were crowded, and the very best feeling seemed to pervade the multitude. Enthusiastic cheer ing and loyal shouts seemed the order of the day, and Prince Albert appeared highly gratified at the cordial reception he met with. The Prince had suffered from sea-sickness, and has therefore deferred receiving the Civil and Military Authorities until to-morrow morning. He is expected to leave Dover about noon for Canterbury under an eoeort of the 11th Light Dragoons. THE QUEEN'S MARRIAGE. CEREMONIAL.

EVENING EDITION. PRICE OF SUGAR. EFFECT OF —MONOPOLY. Table showing the ex-duty price of West India Sugar in Mincing-lane, and comparing the same against that of foreign sugars:— London, Feb. 7, 1840. The Gazette of this evening will quote the average price of British Plantation Muscovado Per Cwt. Sugar, exclusive of duty, at The actual quantity of West India Sugar sold on ac count of the importers, in the week ending the 4th in stant, according to the returns made upon oath by the West India sugar brokers, in conformity with the Act of Parliament, and on which quantity the above price is com puted, consisted of 3,15te hhds. 241 trs. and 98 barrels. Manilla Sugar, raised by free labour, may be quoted at from 19s. to 225. per cwt., being about 16s. 6d. per cwt. cheaper than West India Sugar. The British refineries, which work foreign Muscovadoes for exportation only, supply the foreign markets with refined Sugar, equal in quality to the standard double loaf at, deducting the ship ping charges, 325. 6d. per cwt., being about 6s. per cwt. cheaper than the dirty moist sugar imported from our West Indian Colonies ; and being 6d. per cwt. less than the price the poor man is compelled to pay for duty-free treacle. It has been demonstrated by an eloquent advocate for a repeal of the injurioas Corn-laws that a fixed duty of one shilling per quarter upon imported corn would be equiva lent to an annual tax of three millions, not three millions towards assisting the Chancellor of the Exchequer to satisfy the demands legitimately made upon the public purse, but three millions actually extracted from the con sumers' pockets and put into the landowners', a sum which, in fact, fortifies them with the means to enact arbitrary and coercive laws, which despoil the poor man of the fruits of his industry ; in like manner, we will demonstrate that an additional duty of one shilling per cwt. on imported Foreign Sugar, for the purpose of protecting British Plan tation Sugar, would operate as a tax of 200,0001. a year, which sum, like the three millions, would not go in aid of revenue, but would be distributed amongst British Sugar Planters. The annual importation of all kinds of Sugar admitted to home consumption, taken on an average of five years ending the Ist January, 1839, exce e d s 200 ,000 tons(; a duty of o ne a dditi ona l y shilling per cwt. would consequently have the effect of maintaining the price of British Plantation Sugar at 20s. per ton above its Continental market value, in other words, the con sumers of Sugar in this country would be robbed of a shilling per cwt. on all the Sugar they used, in order to add to the wealth of the West India interest. If these annual sums of 3 millions and 200,1001., the first being the proceeds of Is. per quarter tax on corn, and the last the proceeds of Is. per cwt. tax on Sugar, were to be disbursed for the good of the public, either by com pensating any loss which may arise out of the alteration of the Post-office laws ; or were to be applied towards defraying the costs of vindicating our national character and honour, whether the Chinese or any other foreign power were the aggressors—the people of the United Kingdom would cheerfully contribute towards the amount required. But when the money is wrung from them to be lavished on agriculturists, with whom, through their per petration of a grievous a..d long-continued wrong against the welfare of the community at large, that community has ceased to sympathize, and on quondam slave-drivers, , whose pretended rights to the bodies and limbs of their fellow-men have recently been purchased at the tremen ' dons price of twenty millions, entailing on the mother country an annual charge of interest, which, at 5 per cent., is equivalent to one million, and who, as far as practicable, have endeavoured ever since they received the money to evade their part of the agreement. We say, that when the money is disbursed in channels such as these, the grievance becomes intolerable ; and we are not surprised that the ruled have no confidence in their rulers. The nation is positively stung to madness by these abuses ; but alas l giving the present Ministers full credit for a sincere desire to moderate these grie vances, what hope can we entertain of their possessing the power to carry out their views, when we read the bragging determination of the banded Tories, dedstred by an influential man of their party, amidst their vetlement cheers, " That no consideration should restrain 4 ...nem from observing the Ministers' measures, from:canvassing their bills, from obstructing, if they please —ay, and from throwing out, when necessary, as they had heretofore done, measures which they believed to he detrimental to the best interests of the country; and while, from the commence ment of the Session to the end, they performed this mighty feat they would leave to others the name, while they were content to wield the authority of Government." We repeat, alas ! what hope have the people of escaping pillage while so much power as this boast displays remains in the hands of the Tories, who were the ingenious con cocters, and are the potent upholders of all the pernicious monopolies with which our laws abound. Tory, Conserva tive, and monopolist, are synonimous terms—a class who have robbed all other classes to enrich their own. We again remind our readers, that strict economy in their use of sugars is the surest mode of undermining the nefarious sugar monopoly.

DINNER TO GEORGE BYNG, ESQ., M.P.-- The public dinner to be given to this veterans Reformer by his constituents will take place at Drury-lane Theatre, on Wed nesday, the 11th of March. The great enthusiasm displayed by all parties on this occasion, and the sincere desire to evince their gratitude shown by the constituency of Middlesex, will render this one of the most interesting of modern meetings. A great number of Peers have notified their desire to be pre sent, and the application for places is great beyond precedent. Besides the object of the dinner, the fact of its being the first great public dinner after the Queen's marriage, and the attend ance of several of the Ministers, give it claim to notice as an important political demonstration. All the theatres in London now performing will be opened gatuitously to the public on Monday next, the day of the Queen's Marriage.
