As and filiptrial Varitailient HOUSE OF LORDS.—THURSDAY The House of Lords did not sit to-day. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-T HURSDAY Mr. ROEBUCK said that seeing the noble lord the Foreign Secretary in his place, he wished to ask a question relating to the detention of Mr. M'Leod by the American govern- It was known that the reason of Mr M Leod' detention was in consequence of the part he had taken in ti affair of the Caroline steamer. He begged the house to re collect that after M`Leod had been arrested a communica tion was opened between Mr. Fox and Mr. Forsyth. He wished, therefore, toknow if, as there bad been an alteration in the American government, any change had taken place in the situation and state of affairs relating to Mr. M‘Leod's case? In short, he wished to know what communication had taken place between her majesty's government and that of the United States on the subject. He wished to hear what reasons the noble lord could offer to justify the reten tion of Mr. M`Leod. . Lord PALMERSTON considered it was very irregular to preface questions hon. members might put to the government with arguments likely to lead to a debate, He had no ob jection to state that her Majesty's government had done everything in their power to preserve the honour of this country, and protect the safety of a subject—(hear)—and he had the satisfaction of being able to inform the house, that the government of the United States had given instructions to the Attorney General to proceed in a manner perfectly in ac cordance with the law of nations. The noble lord then read the correspondence which had taken place between Mr. Fox, the British Minister, Mr. Webster, and Mr. Forsyth. Her Majesty's government entirely approved of the conduct of Mr. Fox, and they were decidedly of opinion that the attack on the Caroline was in consequence of the order of the government, carried into effect by military officers of the government, and in all respects must be treated a public and not a private act. (Hear.) The attack on the Caroline was a national act, and raised a question between nations whether an individual could be brought before the ordinary tribunals of the country under such circumstances. The noble lord then referred to several authorities regarding international rights and privileges. The hon. member said on the outset of the affair a special ambassador ought to have been sent to the United States ; he did not think so; it was better to leave the question to the good sense and justice of that coun try ; and it would now be better not to enter into any spe culation as to what the future conduct of America might be. (H ear.) In answer to a question by Sir C. NAPIER, Lord PALMERSTON said he had received a letter from Lord Ponsonby, informing him that the government of the Sublime Porte had agreed to make good all the losses in curred by the siege of Acre. - . The adjourned debate on the address was resumed by Lord SANDON, who contended that the late Parliament had not been dissolved upon the question of the import duties, but rather upon the want of confidence in the general policy of the ministers of the country. He thought they were not justified in going into the discussion of the measures pro posed by the government, until the verdict of the last Parlia ment, as to their want of confidence in ministers, was sanc tioned or otherwise, by the present House of Commons ; un til that verdict was decided upon, and if sanctioned until a change of ministry should take place, he thought they would be doing their duty to their constituents by refusing to con sider any of these questions. For these reasons he should rote for the amendment. _ _ _ _ Mr. M. GrnsoN,in supporting the address, said that so great was the distress throughout the country, and so great would become the general discontent if not relieved, that not only the repeal of the corn laws, but also the repeal of all other protective duties, would be forced upon the right hon. baronet (Sir R. Peel) soon after he should succeed to power. He was prepared to support the proposition of an Bs. fixed duty on corn, in the hope that hereafter they might be en abled to send the Bs. after the rest ; for he looked upon corn received in exchange for our manufactures as much our own produce as if it were grown in England. He deprecated the course which it was said hon. gentlemen on the other side meant to pursue, for it would be showing a want of respect to the country to decline the discussion of questions of such vital importance to its best interests ; and it would be said that the right hon. baronet (Sir R. Peel) bad given instruc tions to his supporters not to speak upon them, lest the country should get an idea what it had to expect should the conservatives accede to power. Mr. BORTHWICK supported the amendment, and said the real question before the house was, as to which party in the house could carry out these important measures, which had been so often adverted to, with the greatest likelihood of bringing them in a practical shape into successful operation. Mr. W. S. O'BRIEN defended the conduct of the govern ment, and declared his intention, as an Irish member, anxious to declare the gratitude of his country to the present ministry for nearly the whole of their conduct towards' Ireland, to oppose the amendment moved by the hon. member for the west riding of Yorkshire. Colonel SIBTHORP congratulated the house and the coun try that the period had at last arrived when the present ministry were about to meet the reward of all their vices and misdeeds, and to be drummed out of their seats to a tune which the forms of the house prevented him from more for cibly alluding to. (A laugh.) The present government had raised the cry of cheap bread and cheap sugar for the mere purpose of humbugging the people, and the whole of their appointments had been of the most profligate character. Mr. POWER advocated the gradual modification of restric tive duties, and supported the address. Mr. E. TURNER contended that the house could never hope for a more favourable opportunity of settling the ques tion of the corn laws favourably to the landed interests. He did not know that a fixed duty would give the people cheap bread, but he felt quite sure it would give them bread when they required it. Mr. Escorr did not consider it right to enter on the con sideration of questions of vital interest to the country, while he perceived a ministry persevering in holding office in de fiance of parliament and the constitution. The hon. mem ber for Bath had taunted the conservatives for the use they had made of the poor-law upon the hustings, and if it had been so used he was willing to join in the censure thrown out by the hon. member ; but, at the same time, it was to be re membered that hon. gentlemen on the ministerial side of the house were in the habit of holding up the conservatives as starvers of the poor. The hon. gentleman asserted that mi nisters had committed the sovereign by a course of conduct for which no parallel could be found in the annals of the country for a period of two hundred year,. He then ex pressed his confidence in Sir R. Peel, and said that he would feel proud to support him, should he (the right hon. baronet) be called by his sovereign to the administration of the affairs of the nation. (Hear, hear.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that an appeal had been made to the country on the questions of the corn, sugar, and timber duties, and yet, on the very first discus sion of these questions, it was attempted to be said that they had no right to discuss them while the present Ministry remained in office—a doctrine which, he must say, he then heard for the first time. He thought that honourable gen tlemen on the other side of the house had a right to bring the question of " Who was to govern?" to the very earliest possible decision ; but he thought it neither consistent with wisdom nor good policy to pursue the course of silence they had adopted, and to leave the country in the dark as to what were their intentions or opinions upon those great questions which agitated the whole kingdom. The right honourable gentleman then, in reply to the charges against the Govdrn ment, resorted to the to quoque argument against Lord Stanley and Sir J. Graham, as tar as they had shared in the whig measures passed while they were still members of the Administration. The right honourable gentleman, after en tering into details in order to show that the present Govern ment had been as economical as any that had preceded it, referred to some reports which had been circulated, implying that the security of the moneys in savings banks was endan gered by his measures, and expressed a hope that hon. gen tlemen on both sides of the house would avail themselves of an opportunity, in the course of that debate, of assuring the public of that which in that house they knew to be true, that the security of those funds was in no way interfered with. With respect to the proposition of altering the corn laws ' he wished it to be understood that although he believed a fixed duty would give an increased revenue, yet that question was not brought forward as a revenue question, but because the experiment of the sliding scale was proved to be a failure, and a change was called for with a view to promote the wel fare of all classes of the community. Mr. GouLnunsr said it was not his intention to have ad dressed the house, because the question before it was of so lain and simple a character that it was perfectly understood both in and out of doors ; but the allusions made to the finances of the country rendered it imperative upon him to enable hon. gentleman to perceive that the calculations of the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Baring) had not adverted to the sugar duties, because he knew that all the anticipations formed on his (Mr. Goulburn's) side of the house as to the importation of sugar, and expressed so repeatedly in their de bates upon the subject, three months ago, had, within the last three months, been more than realised—(hear, hear), the importation for the three months, ending the sth of August, having far exceeded that of the same months in the prece ding year. (Hear.) With respect to the timber duties, the Chancellor of the Exchequer calculated in his budget upon an increase of £600,000 upon the revenue of the present year arising from these duties. It so happened, however, that he had the copy of a letter from Lord Sydenham to Lord John Russell, written last April, and laid before the Cana dian Assembly, in which letter the noble lord stated that he had no doubt, if there was any proposal for altering those duties, care would be taken to render the change as gradual as possible, and thus to diminish individual losses ; but that at all events the change could not affect the importations of the present year, as that would be both unjust and injurious, as orders had been given which were in the course of execu tion, and could not be countermanded. (Cheers.) What confidence, he would ask, could be placed in a government which could be ignorant of the mischievous effects of such a measure, for surely they might know that at the distance of Canada from this country, such a measure could not be car ried into immediate operation without being productive of the greatest mischief and injustice. With - respect to the savings banks he was anxious to disabuse the public mind of the belief that anything had been done to endanger the secu rity of the savings banks, though the proceeding which had been adopted was in his opinion very objectionable, inasmuch as it gave the Chancellor of the Exchequer power to add largely to the permanent debt of the country without the controul of Parliament. Objectionable as this proceeding was, it in no way tended to endanger the security of the savings banks. The right hon. gentleman, in conclusion, said that the ministry were not then upon their trial, for they had been tried in the last parliament and found guilty ; they subsequently appealed to a higher tribunal, the constituency of the country, and the verdict had been confirmed. They were now therefore sitting to hear judgment passed upon them to give up the administration of the affairs of the coun try. (Cheers.) Mr. WAKLEY said that the present government had not lost his confidence, for they had never possessed it. (A laugh.) He had supported them as the best he could find, and that they were leaving, he feared the radical party would have no reason to congratulate themselves on the accession to power of the right hon. baronet. The errors of the pre sent government were enormous. He prescribed for them in 1837, and without waiting for a fee. (Cheers.) tle pre scribed only three small powders, but they would not take them. (Great laughter.) And now he would like to know how they liked the 360 bitter bills they had got opposite to them. (Great laughter.) And now he would like to know how they liked the 360 bitter bills they had got opposite to them. (Roars of laughter.) The right hon. baronet should receive as hearty support from him, if his measures were good, as if they emanated from the most confirmed radical. The right hon. baronet had great capacity—he was a man of great ability. He knew more of his capacity than most men, for he had made a phrenological survey of his head. (Im mense laughter.) He had great ability, and he had also the power to do good to the country, and he sincerely hoped he would not suffer himself to be influenced to refrain from doing so. The hon. gentleman entreated the right hon. baronet to take into his benevolent consideration the poor law amendment bill, which was the most objectionable law that had ever been enacted by parliament—a law which was based ecl in tyranny, and marked by cruelty in its operation. 'n i l was the la w w hi c h d es t ro y e d the present government, an it would destroy any future government which might attempt to maintain it. (Cheers.) The debate was then adjourned. H OUSE OF LORDS.—FRIDAY. The Earl of FUSE brought up her Majesty's most gra cious answer to th e address, which was to the effect that her Majesty felt great satisfaction at finding that the House of Lords was sensible of the importance of the circumstances to which she had directed their attention in reference to the commerce and revenue of the country, especially as regarded t h e laws relating to the trade in corn; and that in deciding Lich u 4vouid bo rnoAt advtint sue, t t hey would c actuated by a desire to promote the intersi„'ts and welfare of her pep*. Her Majesty'hirther stated that she was always desirous of attending to the ad vice of her parliament, and she Would therefore take into immediate consideration the othet• important matters con tained in their address. The bill for facilitating the administration of justice in the Court of Chancery, the drainage in towns bill, the borough improvement and other bills, which the sudden close of the last session of parliamentcaused to be dropped, were brought in by the LORD ( ii.kNCELLOR, and severally read a first time. The two last-mentioned bills were read a second time and committed, and ordered to be read a third time on Monday. Their lordships then adjourned until Monday. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-FRIDAY The adjourned debate was resumed by Mr. MILNE, who contended that ministers had most impertinently and inju diciously brought forward measures in their budget which they must have known they would not be able to carry. in supporting the amendment he would observe that the diffe rence between the present ministers and those who were likely to succeed them would be that the latter would only propose measures which they knew they had power to carry into effect. Mr. RENNIE adverted to the expensive modes of agricul ture resorted to in many parts of the kingdom, and con tended that it was unjust to compel the people to buy corn so expensively raised, when, but for the laws which it was proposed to repeal, they might buy the article much cheaper. Mr. WALLACE was opposed to any article on corn, and said in his opinion a much greater proportion of the burden upon the nationol debt should be thrown upon the land than it was at present subjected to. He would support the address. Mr. HINDLEY also supported the address, and contended that the monopoly of corn was only upheld because those who profited by it were those who likewise possessed the monopoly of power. Mr. WIGNEY thought the real question was as to which party should govern, and as they all knew that sooner or later Sir R. Peel must accede to office, it would be better for the country that he should at once walk across the floor of the house, when the discussion of those important measures which were so interesting to the country might be entered upon. Mr. HAWES, in strong terms, commented upon this attack made by the hon. member for Brighton on his political friends. and subsequently attempted to grapple with the ar guments and calculations used by Mr. Goulburn on the pre vious evening. In reference to the fact that Sir R. Peel would have two whigs for his colleagues in his administra tion he declared that he would prefer having Sir R. Peel for a dictator, rather than see him surrounded by such colleagues. If the right hon. baronet should come into power, as it was assumed he would throughout that debate, if he legislated upon general, rather than upon sectional and personal inter ests, he (Mr. Hawes) would offer to him no factious opposi tion. He must say, however, that he feared the right hon. baronet would pursue a course which would compel him to rank himself in the opposition to his administration. Captain POLHILL supported the amendment, and stated his belief that Sir R. Peel would sooner have submitted to have his right hand cut off than remain in office one day after a vote of that house intimating that the right hon. baronet did not possess its confidence. Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL supported the address, and ex pressed a hope that, should the conservatives come into power, Ireland, at all events, might have nothing to do with the noble member for North Lancashire. Mr. CHRISTMAS, in supporting the amendment, treated the question before the house as being one purely of con fidence. _ _ Mr. VILLIERS attributed the success of the conservatives at the recent elections, not to their increasing popularity, but rather to the dissension of the liberals, one portion of whom made use of the conservatives for the purpose of punishing the other portion. The present ministry had also lost ground in public estimation in consequence of the poor law bill ; but the most powerful engine for their destruction was supplied by themselves in their slowness to carry out the principles of reform. The hon. gentleman then entered into a defence of the measures proposed by the government, and contended that they were founded upon the same principles as those which Mr. Huskisson maintained, for that gentleman had declared the protective system to be faulty, and that his opi nion was, that it was a mistake to have ever imposed anything in the shape of protective duties. Lord F. EGERTON said he did not think that the house was called upon on that occasion to discuss those questions of policy which ministers had brought forward, but still he found no fault with those gentlemen who thought differently, but endeavoured to give every attention to their arguments. He did not see, therefore, why hon. gentlemen near him, who felt as he did, should be blamed by hon. gentlemen on the other side because they acted upon their opinion that while the government of the country was in so anomalous a condition, it was not expedient to enter upon the discussion of such important questions. He denied that the support of the amendment by his side of the house implied the least disrespect to her majesty, because it had always been the practise to treat the speech from the throne as the speech of the ministers of the crown. The Chancellor of the Exche quer said that evasion of the discussion of these questions on that occasion was like playing the play of Hamlet, with the part of Hamlet omitted, but he (Lord F. Egerton) would tell him that he did not want to get up the play of Hamlet at all until he had the company engaged and the theatre properly arranged. (Cheers.) Mr. O'CONNELL said it was well known that he was in favour of a repeal of the corn laws, and yet he stood in that house as the representative of two of the largest agricultural counties in Ireland, returned by both without having soli cited a vote, or being present at his election in either. This proved that the agriculturists of Ireland did not think those duties on corn very advantageous to them. He asserted that the corn laws were a robbery of the poor, to whom a stone was given when they asked for bread, and for his own part, he only agreed to the 8s fixed duty as an instalment, as a step to get rid of those laws altogether. He complained that the reform bill had given an iniquitouspreference to the landed over the mercantile interests of the community, and that it was to the £5O tenant at will clause that Sir R. Peel had to attribute his majority. The hon. and learned gentle man then enumerated all the beneficial acts of the present ministry, and contended that the whips were really deserv ing of popular support. The conservatives, however, had obtained a majority, but there never was sueh gross bribery since the world began as had been resorted to in order to ob tain it. The hon. gentleman then entered upon the griev ances of Ireland, a country to which England owed much, while it owed to England nothing but execration. Sir R. PEEL said, if he felt still more acutely than he did for his party under the censure of the hon, and learned gentleman, he was not without some reasons for consolation in the reflection that the hon. gentleman's abuse of the tories fell far short of that lavished by him upon his beloved whigs. (Cheers and laughter.) The hon. gentleman, however, had reduced himself to such a position that his praise or censure was of equal value. (Great cheering.) If the whigs were the men who had conferred on Ireland all the benefits of happiness and tranquillity, what could justify the hon. gen tleman in loading them with abuse—(cheers), in designating them as the base and bloody whigs? (Continued cheering.) The right hon. baronet then proceeded to state his sentiments on the various topics referred to in the course of the debate ; and with respect to the representation of the peace of Europe, said, he thought war was much less to be feared from the aggression of any power than from constant preparations to meet it, lest it should come, thus keeping up armaments in every nation, which had better be largely diminished. He did not blame the omission of all notice of America in the Queen's speech, for he felt sure it was not inadvertent or un designed, but he did fear, from' the omission, that Ministers had nothing very pleasant to communicate. The right hon. gentleman then repeated his opinions which he had expressed last session on the measures relative to which the country had been appealed to, but he declined to state any of the de. tails of the measures which he might think it necessary to propose to Parliament. 'With respect to the timber duties, he repeated that he would give no pledge until he knew whether there were or were not political reasons connected with the Canadas which might exercise on influence to pre vent the adoption of the principles of free trade in the article of timber. With respect to sugar, he maintained the same opinions he had expressed last session. It had been said that, after removing the present Ministry from office, he would then bring in a measure in effect the same. He would frankly own that he would do no such thing, though he ad mitted that the principles upon which he acted in respect to the sugar duties were not consistant with the principles of free trade. The right hon. baronet once more asserted his adherence to a graduated scale of duties on corn in pre ference to a fixed and irrevocable duty; but he was not wedded to the existing law relative to corn, nor was it upon the assumption that he would not change those laws that he had received the support of the landed interest. It would however, be preposterous for him to bind himself to the pre cise mode in which he should propose the alteration of the existing scale of duties. The right hon. baronet then con trasted the comparative effect, in times of scarcity, of the sliding scale and fixed duty, and asked if the price of corn rose to 905., whether the advocates of the Bs. fixed duty would maintain it. To maintain it would be impossible, al though a large manufacturer opposite to him (Mr. Hindley) intimated that he would, under such circumstances, enforce the duty. The right hon. baronet next referred to a series of documents in order to show that in America, Russia, and other countries the fluctuations in the price of corn were far greater than in this country, from which it was clear that fluctuations in the price of corn might arise from other causes than the operation of the duties. In conclusion, he must say that he could not acquiesce in the address, for to a certain extent it implied a confidence in the government which he did not feel ; nor did he think that the noble lord (Lord J. Russell) would join in the opinion that the course he (Sir Robert Peel) was pursuing was not perfectly justifiable and proper as respected the amendment proposed by the honourable member for the West Riding of Yorkshire, which contained as little of unnecessary acerbity as was possible. If power should not devolve upon him he should not feel disappointed, while if power should devolve upon him he would accept it with the confidence and the consciousness that he had acquired it only by direct and constitutional means, and by the call of the people of England. (Loud cheering.) If he accepted office it should be by no intrigue, or unworthy concession of constitutional principle, but by walking in open light and direct paths of the constitution, and he would relinquish power the moment he was satisfied that he was not supported by the confidence of that house, and of the country. (Immense cheering, during which Sir R. Peel resumed his seat.) Lord J. RUSSELL said he did not complain of this amend ment, for lie thought the meeting of the parliament was the very best time to ascertain if a ministry possessed the confi dence of that house ; but then reasons should be assigned in support of such a motion ; and yet, in the whole course of the debate, no such reasons had been assigned, until the right hon. baronet had commenced his address to the house, with the exception of some observations which had fallen from the hon. member for Yorkshire. The noble lord entered into a lengthened defence of the measures of the ministry, and of the course they had pursued respecting those measures, since they had acceded to office, after which he adverted to the speech of the right hon. member for Tamworth, and re marked that he had left them as much in the dark as ever as to his intentions ; sheltering himself un e d n e , r i t n he fa d e e t c , la h r e at w io a n s that he would not enter into detail, when, avoiding anything in the shape of an intimation as to any ge neral measure he contemplated introducing. The only prin ciple to which the right hon. baronet could be fixed, was the sliding scale, and to that he appeared determined to devote himself, and yet he (Lord J. Russell) firmly believed that all the evils of those corn laws were to be attributed to the slid ing scale. The noble lord animadverted on the calumnies to which he said the ministry might attribute the majority against them, and more particularly to the calumnies with respect to the Poor Law Bill; but as the right honourable baronet would soon accede to power, he was convinced that he might proceed to greater measures,. for he would have sufficient power to carry his intentions into effect; and if those intentions were just and liberal, of blessing m illi ons b y his acts, and all mankind by his example. (Cheers.) The gallery was then cleared for a division, and the num bers were — For the Address For the Amendment Majority for the Amendment HOUSE OF COMMONS.-SATURDAY Mr. S. Wortley brought up the report on the address. On the motion that the report be agreed to, Mr. SHARMAN CRAWFORD, after laying down what in his opinion the representation of this country ought to be, and contending that it was the want of a proper representation of the people that gave rise to unjust and unnecessary wars, as well as unjust legislation and monopoly, of which the corn laws was the most grievous instance, moved that an amamieler..t fo the following Pleat fihontLi ha added to the cidOress:—" That we further respectfully represent to your - Majesty, that, in our opinion, the distress which your Ma jesty deplores is mainly attributable to the circumstances of your whole people not being fully and fairly represented in this house ; and that we feel it will be our duty to consider the means of so extending and regulating the suffrage, and of adopting such improvements in the system of voting as will confer on the working classes that just weight in the representative body which is represented to secure a due con sideration of their interests, and which their present patient endurance of suffering gives them the strongest title to claim." General JOHNSON seconded the motion. Mr. WARD, while concurring in the observations of the honourable mover, must, notwithstanding, decline to support his motion, while in point of fact there was no Ministry in existence. The whig Ministry were at an end, and their successors were not appointed, and though for his own part he feared he should never feel confidence in the right hon. member for Tamworth, yet he thought he ought to have such a trial as was due to straightforwardness and candour. Mr. ROEBUCK, also, thought Sir R. Peel entitled to a fair trial, though he feared that upon that trial the right hon. baronet and his party would be found wanting. He would therefore decline voting upon the question at all. The hon. member then quitted the house, followed by Mr. Ward and a considerable number of the liberals, amidst loud cheering from the opposition benches. Mr. WALLACE, Mr. T. DuNcomuE, Dr. BOWRING, and Mr. W. WILLIAMS supported the motion, which, on a divi sion, was lost by a majority of 283 to 39. The address was then agreed to, and on the motion of Sir R. PEEL, the house adjourned to Monday. The only Minister in the house was Mr. Macauley, but the conservative benches were crowded. SECOND EDITION. Standard Office, Ten o'clock -.112...- HOUSE OF LORDS.-YESTERDAY RESIGNATION OF MINISTERS. Viscount MELBOURNE rose and said—My lords, in con sequence of the vote come to by the other house of parlia ment early on Saturday morning last, and which was pre cisely the same in terms to the vote which your lordships had come to early in the week, I, on the part of my col leagues and myself, waited on her Majesty, and tendered to her Majesty the resignation of the offices which we hold, which resignation her Majesty has been graciously pleased to accept ; and we now continue to bold those offices only until our successors are appointed. The noble viscount then re sumed his seat. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-YESTERDAY. HER MAJESTY'S ANSWER TO THE ADDRESS Lord MARCUS HILL appeared at the bar, and stated that her Majesty had been waited upon, pursuant to the resolu tion of that house, and he was desired by her Majesty to read to the house the following most gracious answer to the address of her faitnful Commons " It is with the greatest satisfaction that I hear that the House of Commons is deeply sensible of the importance of the considerations to which 1 directed their attention to the commerce and the revenue of the country ; and that, in de ciding upon the course it is desirable to pursue, they will consult the interests of all classes of her subjects, and the laws regulating the trade in corn. Her majesty assured the house that she was ever anxious to listen to the advice of her parliament, and that she would take immediate measures to form a new administration." RESIGNATION ON MINISTERS Lord J. RUSSELL said, her Majesty's answer to the ad dress having been read, it now became his duty to state to the house, that after the division on Saturday morning mi nisters considered it their duty to advise the terms of the answer just communicated. (Hear.) They had advised her Majesty to form a new administration, and consequently he and his colleagues had tendered their resignations, which her Majesty had most graciously been pleased to accept, and they now only held office until such time as their successors were appointed. He then said he trusted the house would allow him to state one or two matters in connection with the subject now before the house. The government deemed it right to propose measures which they deemed essential to the prosperity, to the trade, and commerce of the country. (Hear.) On being defeated on one of those measures, they had advised her Majesty to dissolve the late parliament ; that dissolution having taken place, and a new parliament having assembled, they hail again advised her Majesty to submit the same measures to the consideration of the house. (Hear.) This was done, and it having been the pleasure of the House of Commons to declare their hostility to them, and want of confidence in ministers ; they bad no other part to act than tender their resignations to her Majesty. (Hear.) He would not use any arguments to show why they had for such a length of time prolonged the struggle. (Hear, hear.) But possess ing the confidence of the Sovereign, and from a persuasion of the justness and propriety of the policy they had propounded, together with the belief that their continuance in office was calculated to promote the people'sinterest ; all these matters combined, tended to induce them to prolong the struggle in the manner they had done. (Hear.) He had already on previous occasions justified the course they had adopted, and he should be ready to justify them on all future occasions. It had been the fate of their government to hold power for a number of years, and they had resigned at this period because holding office without power was not calculated to give satis faction to the country, as it was impossible for them to carry measures beneficial to the country. (Hear.) He did not speak of this or that particular measure, but he might be allowed to say that the government to which he belonged began their official career by introducing and carrying the Reform Act, and indeed by proposing measures calculated to prove-eminently advantageous to the trade and commerce of the country. The first was a large and important measure as regarded the franchise and privileges of the people : the last was a large and important measure connected with the trade and commerce of the country. At the government to which he had the honour to belong, Lord Grey and Lord Melbourne presided. Lord Grey enjoyed during the period of the discussion of the Reform Bill the most unbounded popularity. Lord Melbourne, having been minister at the period of the demise of William IV., became the adviser of the Crown : neither of these noblemen had abused the confi dence that had been placed in them either by the sovereign or the people ; both had shown the greatest desire to preserve the constitution in all its forms. (Hear.) Having said so much, in reference to the two ministers at the head of the new go vernment, he trusted he might be allowed to say a few words in reference to himself. He would not say some other person could not be found to fill his situation in a more effec tive manner, but this he could say, no consideration of enjoyment or amusement ever prevented him from attending to his public duties, either as a member of that government or a member of that house. (Cheers.) After a few other observations, the noble lord said in any position he might hereafter occupy in that house, his desire would be to advance the honour of the house, support the institutions of the country, and promote the advantage and benefit of the peo ple. The noble lord concluded by moving that the house, at its rising, do adjourn until Monday next. LORD STANLEY bore testimony to the talent and ability of the noble lord just sat down, and he felt confident that no one entertained any feeling of personal animosity or bitterness towards that noble lord. (Cheers.) He could not, however, ,approve of the policy suggested by the noble lord and his colleagues, a policy which had lost them the confidence of that house, and the country at large. (Hear.) The noble lord proceeded to state that the house last session had not pledged itself to the measures of the noble lord. The Address was supported by those gentlemen who usually gave their support to ministers ; it was also supported by those members who were commonly opposed to ministers; so that the address being carried did not, in itself, show that the ministers had the confidence of the house, but on the contrary, that ministers were not justified in pro posing the measures which they had. (Hear, hear.) He did not wish to revive any topics of discussion likely to excite angry feelings, seeing the noble lord had paid that homage which was due to the house and to the people, every feeling of hostility to the noble lord had given way to the feelings of personal respect, and to give the noble lord and his col leagues credit for believing that they would not offer any factious opposition to the progress of measures which may redound to the honour of the parties proposing them, and to the credit and influence of the country. (Hear.) Lord J. Russell intimated that the speech from the Throne was ad vised by the ministers, and that they were responsible for it. THE MINISTRY.--SIR ROBERT PEEL SENT FOR BY HER MAJESTY. (From the London Standard of last night.) Last night, shortly after eight o'clock, a special messenger arrived at the residence of Sir Robert Peel, in Whitehall Gardens, with directions from her Majesty requiring the at tendance of the right hon. Bart. at Windsor Castle to-day. This morning, precisely at half past-twelve o'clock, Sir Robert left Whitehall Gardens, in an open travelling-carriage and post-horses, for Windsor. The right hon. baronet passed through St. James's Park and up Constitution-hill. He was attended by only one servant. No one accompanied him in in his carriage. . Until the return of the right hon. baronet nothing positive can be known of the new administration ; and as only a few hours (in all probability) will elapse before we are able to announce the formation of a new government with certainty, it would be idle to enter into any speculations. In the course of the morning the Earl of Haddington, Lord Eliot, Sir Thomas Fremantle, Mr. Goulbourn, Lord Stanley, and several other leading conservatives, visited the right hon. baronet in Whitehall Gardens. _ . The resignation of the present ministers will, no doubt, be announced in both houses at fiv e o ' c l oc k. .... Lord Melbourne arrived in town this morning from Wind sor Castle. It is expected a Privy Council will be held at Windsor on Wednesday next, when the ministers will resign their seals of office to their successors. THE DIVISION ON THE AMENDMENT TO THE ADDRESS.

Standard-office, Three o'clock NISI PRIUS COURT.—Tms DAY (Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.) VIGNOLLES V. LEFROY At the opening of the court at nine o'clock this morning, Mr. Justice WIGFITAINN commenced summing up the evi dence in this case. His lordship went most elaborately through the entire circumstances, and concluded an admi rable summary of the case a few minutes before eleven o'clock. The Jury then retired for consultation. At one o'clock they returned into court, with the following verdict : we find that the defendant was originally liable, and that the plaintiff went io work upon such liability of the defendant ; second, that the plaintiff ceased to be engineer on the 21st Septem ber, 1836, on the appointment of Mr. Nimmo ; third, that the plaintiff has not been paid the value of the work done by him previous to the 21st September, 1836 ; and that he is entitled to the further sum of £l9BO ; and fourth, that the plaintiff was not employed by the defendant to do any work for the purpose of the second application to parliament. On the application of Mr. DUNDAS, the plaintiff's counsel, the learned Judge certified that the case was one for a special LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—This DAY (From Messrs. I?. MAKIN Sr SONS' Circular.) The arrivals into this port coastwise, from Ireland, and abroad, since the 24th instant, include a large supply of Wheat, Oats, Beans, and Oatmeal; while of Flour and other produce the present imports are only moderate : during the week ending Thursday last, however, 14,669 qrs. of Ca nadian Wheat and 71,816 barrels of Flour, previously in bond, have been released, which increase the show of sam ples to-day ; and as the stocks of foreign Wheat and Flour, still under lock, will shortly become free, with the prospect of supplies of new Grain, and the further decline in Mark lane, all serve to render the trade extremely precarious for the moment.—At this day's market, therefore, English and Irish Wheats were offered 6d. cheaper, with little effect, but the general descriptions of foreign, receding 6d to 9d per 701bs below the rates of Tuesday last, sales to a moderate extent were made to consumers at the abatement ; and Wheat in bond to deliver free in the course of next week might have been bought on still lower terms. English and Irish Flour, upon a very limited enquiry, must be noted ls. to 2s. per sack lower ; and Foreign, duty paid, was the turn cheaper. In bonded Wheat and Flour no transactions ware reported to -day. Barley was difficult of sale at a decline of 3d per 60 lbs Malt, Beans, and Pease continued to rule much the same as last week.

Tea.—ln consequence of letters received via America by the Great Western, with dates from Canton to the ltith of April, giving accounts of a partial treaty having been concluded, and that a few ships had commenced loading, this market has been very much depressed, and prices have given way fully 3d per lb, and at this decline very few sales can be effected ; our quotations may be con sidered merely nominal. Indigo.—Ahout 6o chests have been sold at full prices ; and for Shell Lac there has been some inquiry, but little offering on the market. 30 boxes of Tincal sold at 50s, 10 chests of fine Gum Arabic at 50s, 12 serous of Cochneal, silver at 4s 3d, and black at 5s 5d per lb, 20 cases of Cassia at 95s per cwt., and 150 quarters of fine East India Linseed at 55s per quarter.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, AuG. 28 Rather more demand to-day, and price's rule much the same as early in the week. Holders do not offer their stocks freely, the loss upon them is so ruinous, and the tine weather makes them sanguine of a dawn of better days. The sales to-day amount to 3500 bales, those of the week to 23,610, of which speculators have taken 500 American, and exporters 1700 bales. The market closes steadily. COTTON MARKET, A 'Jo usT 28. The sales to-day are estimated at 3500 to 4400 bales, at yesterday's prices, with a steady market, if any change we may remark that holders display more firmness, or mayhap their loss at the present rates is so ruinous that they are determined to hold off as long as they possibly can. COTTON MARKET, AUGUST 30 Our market opened very quietly this morning and continued so throughout the day; few buyers making their appearance, so that it has appeared tamer than for some time past. The American in telligence is calculated to give greater firmness, yet every thing is so paralized by the badness of trade, that nothing extraneous will move it, and except some relief appears in the shape of general good trade, even the almost cessation of import will not enable holders to support present prices, which for the good of all parties concerned are acknowledged to range low enough. COTTON MARKET-WEEKLY REPORT, There has been a fair inquiry during the week, both from the Trade and for exportation, and, on the whole, there is little altera tion in prices; the market, however, is dull, and the change, if any, is rather in favour of the buyers, particularly for the common qualities of American and 100 Surat have been taken for export, and 500 American on speculation.

(food Wethefs scarce, and sold from Bid to 7d; Ewes Sid to 6d; Lamb 5d to tiid per lb. sinking the offal. and a good clearance at the LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, Auo. 28 Since this day se'nnight our imports include a fair quantity of Wheat and a large supply of Oats and Oatmeal coastwise and from Ireland, but of other articles of the trade from these quarters the receipts are small. There have arrived from Canada 2260 quarters of Wheat and 15,184 barrels of Flour admissible at the lowest point of duty on colonial produce,-6d a quarter and 31d per barrel. From foreign states there are reported 5,110 quarters of Wheat, 1,004 quarters of Barley, 1,127 quarters of Beans, and 430 barrels of Flour. Since Wednesday the weather has been very fine, under the influence of which, and the certainty of low duties on foreign produce, the dealers and millers have restricted their purchases as much as possible, and prices generally have given way. Free Wheat must be quoted fully 6d per bushel, and Flour Is per sack and barrel cheaper than on this day se'nnight. Rather lower rates have also been taken for both articles in bond, gs per 70 lbs for Baltic red and American Wheat, and 33s to 345 per barrel for U. S. Flour, at which, however, several thousand barrels of the latter have changed hands. The increased supplies of Oats and Oatmeal have quite outfaced the demand. At yesterday's market best mealing Oats might have been bought at 3s 3d per 431bs, and 26s per 240 lbs was the top price for Oatmeal, these being 3d per bushel and 2s to 39 per load below the rates current a week ago. Barley must also be noted somewhat cheaper, and Beans and Peas have scarcely maintained their previous value. In the southern counties harvest has made considerable progress, and is going on favourably around us.
