NORREYS seconded the motion, which was agreed principle that things which were quiet should not be meddled with, but the object of the noble viscount seemed to be in what manner he could excite the greatest flame throughout the country. Some bills were forwarded a stage, and their lordships ad journed. HOUSE OF COMMONS-MoNDAY. At five o'clock. the house way e xoooMn g iy ornoirried wit members on both sides. Several peers occupied the en seats ; and a general expectation prevailed that some impor tant announcement was about to be made to the house. Sir Robert Peel was early in his place. Lord J. Russell, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and one or two other members of the cabinet, entered the house a few minutes before five o'clock. WANT OF CONFIDENCE IN HER MAJESTY ' S MINISTERS. Shortly after five o'clock the SPEAKER called upon Sir Robert Peel. Sir R. PEEL rose amidst tremendous cheering, which having subsided, the most profound silence reigned through out the house. The right hon. baronet said,—l rise, sir, to give notice that, on Thursday next. I shall submit the fol low* res olution to the house :—" That her Majesty's mi nisters do not sufficiently possess the confidence of the House of Commons to endble them to carry through the house measures which they ,deem of essential importance to the public welfare ; and that their continuance in office under such circumstances is at variance with the spirit of the con stitution." (The right hon. baronet sat down amidst the most tremendous cheers we ever heard, and which were several times renewed.) THE POOR-LAWS In answer to Mr. Walter, Lord J. Russzu. said he did not intend to proceed with the Poor Law Bill during the present session. (Loud cries of Hear, hear.) BUENOS AYRES Lord SANDON asked several questions of Lord Palmerston relating to the state of Buenos Ayres, but the noise in the house was so great that they could not be distinctly under stood. BRIBERY ACT. Sir R. PEEL inquired if the noble lord intended to proceed with the Bribery Act this session. (Hear.) ' Lord J. RUSSELL said he did not intend to do so during the present session (hear), but when he did proceed with that measure, he hoped to have the support of the right hon. baronet the member for Tamworth. (Hear.) Sir R. PEEL.—W hy, I have already, on previous occasions, promised to support the noble lord in any attempt to put down bribery. (Hear, bear.) _____ to. The other business was then disposed of, and the house adjourned. ELECTION MOVEMENTS AstiaunTox.—Mr. Jardine, a Liberal, is a candidate in the room of C. Lushington; who retires. 1.-;pf.r liac ApplinPti swain nfrpr himself to the electors of this town in case of a general elec tion. The Conservatives of the borough are already upon the alert, and are determined to contest the representation to the last. The members of the Reform Society have also held various meetings, and passed resolutions not to support any candidate who is not prepared to vote for the abolitition of church rates, the repeal of the corn-laws, and an exten sion of the suffrage. Mr. W. Lister, the eldest son of the retiring member, has consented to be put in nomination, and has avowed himself in favour of free trade and the fullest extension of religious liberty. The Radical Association are not, however, satisfied with this gentleman's principles, and Colonel Thompson, Mr. Cobden, of Manchester, and Mr. H. Stansfield, of Leeds, are spoken of as candidates likely to be more acoeptable to the Radical electors. The Chartists are also determined to bring forward a candidate, refusing to become the dupes of their former allies on this occasion. BARNSTAPLE.—A paragraph appeared in the Globe a few evenings since, stating that Mr. Hodgson did not intend to offer himself again to represent this borough. We are authorized to give the fullest contradiction to this report, and to state, in the most unqualified manner, that it is utterly untrue. THE SUGAR DUTIES. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER the house went into a committee of ways and means, for the purpose of passing a resolution for a renewal of the sugar duties. Sir ROBERT PEEL said, he could have no objection to a resolution for renewing the present duties. If necessary he would second such a resolution. (Loud cheers.) He and the party with whom he acted had no wish to obstruct the public service (tremendous cheering); and they could not offer opposition in conformity with their own opinions. (Cheers.) He had no wish to alter the terms of the resolu tion, or limit the period of its operation. (Hear.) A very animated discussion relating to the duty on sugar ensued between Sir Robert Peel, Mr. Hume, and Sir De Lacy Evans. Lord J. RUSSELL entered into some (explanations of the effect of the duty on sugar as a matter of finance, which was answered by Lord STANLEY observing that it was a most singular fact that during eight .nights' debate the noble lord had never made such a declaration and statement before. (Hear.) Lord J. Russirr.L.—l had not an opportunity of making two speeches during the debate. (Hear.—Several.members— " Yes, you made two ; you had in reply.") Mr. WARLEY said he was fearful a most serious conflict was about to take place, and that the country would be agi tated from one end to the other. (Hear.) The reason, why the present ministers had lost the confidence of parlia ment was, that their measures savoured too much of tory ism. (Hear, hear.) He hoped, however, after all, that the public vrould come to their rescue, as he saw no reason for turning out the present ministers to give their seats to others who would pursue a similar policy. He (Mr. Wakley) was delighted to hear the noble lord say that night, that he gave up the Poor-law Bill for the present session, it would give joy to thousands and hundreds of thousands of his countrymen. (Hear.) If the right hon. baronet would promise more liberal measures than the present government, he should have his vote on Thursday night. (Hear.) Lord J. RUSSELL said, if he had proceeded with the Poor law Bill in the present state of parties, the discussion must have been a very protracted one, and could not have given satisfaction, as every gentleman seemed to be under e impression that he would shortly be called upon to state his opinions on the hustings. (Long continued cheering.) With respect to the Poor-law Bill itself he had no hesitation in saying that his opinion remained unaltered, and on what ever side the house he sat when that measure came under discussion, it would have his support. (Hear, hear.) The resolution was, after some further conversation, agreed to, and the house resumed. The report on the Victoria Park Bill was brought up. Mr. HUME approved of the bill, and expressed a hope that a similar boon might be conferred on the southern dis trict of the metropolis ; and Mr. WAKLEY complained of the exclusion of the public from the Regent's Park. The Punishnient of Death Bill went through committee, and was reported. The other orders of the day were disposed of, and the house adjourned. BRIGHTON. - Sir Adolphus Dalrymple, the Conservative member for this place, came down from London on Saturday afternoon, to attend a meeting of his supporters. M. Wigney, who has declared himself as a second Liberal candidate, also arrived here in the evening, and active measures have been announced by the friends of both gentlemen. Not the slight est apprehension, however, exists on the part of the Con servatives of returning Sir Adolphus at the head of the poll. The decided split between the Whigs and the Chartists offers a very fair opportunity for this borough returning two Con servatives, if another should appear in the field. Mr. Wig ney's failure may be predicted with a certainty, for at all events Captain Pechell has given satisfaction to the consti tuency who returned him. Mr. Wigney is entirely out with the Chartists, to a man, for not having redeemed his pledges, when returned mainly by them, as they are a very strong body here, although they cannot venture bringing forward a candidate of their own creed. The Whigs are quite daunted at the front shown by the Chartists, who have avowed their intention to frustrate the objects of those with whom they were formerly leagued, and dare not hazard a meeting on the corn-law question, as they would be sure to be defeated. A report got abroad that Mr. Cavendish would not stand again for East Sussex ; but on Saturday an address was published on his behalf by Mr. Villiers Shelly, of Maresfield-park, announcing the determination of Mr. Cavendish to contest the election with Mr. Fuller, who has come forward on the liberal interest. CHESHIRE (North).—Mr. Cornwall Legh, an independ ent country gentleman, and a large landed proprietor, has consented to contest this division of Cheshire with the Hon. E. J. Stanley. Mr. Legh is confident of success, therefore the hon. secretary had better be upon he look-out for some small borough under the influence of the whigs. CHESHIRE (South).—Mr. John Tollemache intends to stand for the southern division, on the conservative interest, in opposition to Mr. Wilbraham. CHRISTCHURCH.-Sir G. T. Gervis is to oppose Sir G. Rose at the next election. GLOtTCESTER. - Mr. Phillpotts, M.P. for this city, has issued an address announcing his intention to withdraw from public life at the next election. The advance of age is the cause assigned. HULL.—The Whigs of this place have determined to bring forward Mr. Clay, nephew of the member for the Tower Hamlets, in opposition to Sir Walter James, at the coming election. The anti corn-law league have despatched agents to aercisit their friends, but the conservative party are almost heedless of their proceedings, as they consider the return of Sir Walter to be secure beyond doubt. PETERSFIELD. — Mr. Hector, it is said, will not offer him self again. Mr. E. Carter, son of the late Mr. Bonham Carter, is proposed to supply the vadancy. STOCKPORT.—Mr. Cobden, of Manchester, has been re quested to contest this borough again in conjunction with Mr. H. Marsland. The defeat which the alderman sustained at the last election was so decisive that it is anticipated he will refuse to come forward ; and in fact, should he consent the radicals have no chance to eject Major Marsland, in whose support the conservatives are united to a man, and whose return, by a very large majority, is looked upon as beyond a doubt. SUNDERLAND.—Mr, White withdraws into private life. WARRINGTON.—There seems to he great difficulty in pro curing a candidate to stand for this borough, who is willing to go the whole length with her majesty's present advisers. Mr. W. Stubs has declined the proffered honour, and appli cation has, ionsequently, been made to Mr. J. B. Smith, chairman of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, and the rejected of Walsall ; little doubt is entertained but that Mr. Smith will stand. YORKSHIRE (WEST RIDING). — Lord Morpeth and Lord Milton will be the candidates in the liberal interest. Sir G. Strickland retires. PLAIN FACTS FOR PLAIN PEOPLE The anti-corn law cotton lords tell you that a free trade in corn will enable them to compete with the foreign manu- facturer. How can this be, unless they also reduce your wages to the wages of the foreign labourer 6d or 8d a day. Be not deluded by such humbug. The anti-corn law cottonocracy tell you that a free trade in corn will reduce the price of bread. How is this proved ? for the foreigner will, of course, get as much as he possibly can for his corn, and when he knows we arc coming to his market, he will keep up his price. In a time of war, if we have not a supply of corn our selves, which we cannot have if our land is thrown out of core-cultivation, when are we to get it from ? I cannot tell, and I never heard a manufacturer that could. But they tell you that we shall grow as much corn as ever, and our land will not be thrown out of cern-cultivation. Then how is bread to be cheaper, for the landholder does not get 3 per cent. PER ANNUM for his capital now, while the manufacturer is getting about 3 per cent. PER MONTH. Why did the cotton-lords give a bribe of £lOOO. say £lOOO. to the Irish Liar not to vote for the ten hour's bill? In order that they might screw more labour out of the bone. sinew, and muscle of the poor women and children em ployed in the factories. My friends, look well to these things, investigate them, they will bear a close scrutiny. Some will tell you that the corn-laws are a very difficult subject to understand ; but they are not as much so as people imagine ; to matter-of-fact men —remember that two-thirds of the population of the country ' is agricultural. That two-thirds of the taxes—at least—are paid by the ag riculturists. That two-thirds of the wealth of the country is in the hands of the agriculturists. These are matters of fact. A PRACTICAL MAN SIXPENNY REPEAL MEETING UPSET, Big Dan tried his hand at a bit of agitation, in London, on Friday last. He announced a repeal meeting at the Crown and Anchor, Strand, and the proceedings had scarcely com menced, when Mr. Martin, a chartist, demanded to be heard; and having declared that no confidence was to be placed in O'Connell, proceeded to charge him with having received a douceur of £lOOO. Thus the contest proceeds : A Voice.—Who gave you £lOOO ? You know you got it ; we can prove it.. (A general fight, during which several chartists were unceremoniously forced out of the room.) Mr. O'Connell.—Sir Thomas Potter declared that it was a lie ; the paper declared it a lie ; and he defied his enemies to state the time or place when he was paid that money. — (Cheers from the repealers, and cries of We don't believe you," from the chartists.)—He wonld be glad to kno w, from Mr. Martin, which of the tories promised to let the chartists out of prison ?_ (Great confusion, and cries of " Hear, hear.") A Voice.—Don't answer him. Mr. O'Connell—Oh ! wretched, deluded men, who support the Tories that perpetrated the Manchester slaughter, and would again, if opportunity offered, crimson their swords with human gore. (Cheers and hisses.) At the Nottingham election the Chartists supported Walter, who designated Irishmen as beasts, brutes, savages—a filthy, ferocious crew, and their priests as surpliced ruffians and ferocious tyrants. (Groans, hisses, and cheers.) Yes, yes, he (Mr. O'Connell) would lead 500,000 Irishmen to put down the miscreant Chartists, if they threatened the torch or the dagger. (Yells, hisses, and cheers.) Mr. O'Connell then abused Feargus O'Connor, and said that it was reported in the Tory press that he wanted separation—(hear, hear)—that was a lie. All that he sought for Ireland was, that she should enjoy those rights which she had before her connection with England, Mr. O'Connell concluded amidst groans hisses, and cheers. Mr. Cleave inflicted a very severe castigation upon his old friend and ally Dan for his conduct that night to Martin, and for his abuse and cowardly attack on Feargus O'Connor, at a time when he was confined in a dungeon, and could not defend himself. Mr. Cleave accused O'Connell with having drawn up the charter, with having been the first to sign it, and then with having deserted it. In conclusion, he told ,alr. O'Connell that he would ere long repent having called the chartists " miscreants." Mr. Cleave was loudly cheered during his address, after which the meeting broke up. RAILWAY TILATTIC, &c.—The total receipts from the scveral railroads in England and Scotland (29 in number) for the last week—that is to say, up to the date to which the returns are calculated, were £71,632 ' • of this there were £13,7,15 for m erc h and i se, and £57,887 for passengers, par cels, carriages, horses, and mails.

It may not be amiss to inform you somewhat of the con duct and the results which follow the practice of those,uni versa! philanthropists, called " free-traders ;" freebooters would be a more significant anti appropriate name. They have been the death - of hundreds and the ruin of thousands —they have wantonly sported with and sacrificed the high character of the English merchants, and some half score of them have become rich by practices which, in England's best days, would have ranked them with felons. There was a time—l am old enough to remember it—when Lord MonritTn would not on the part of government offer any opposition to the introduction of the bill. They were I convinced of the practical evils of the present system, but they could not leave the necessary repairs of the churches to HOUSE OF LORDS. — MONDA Y, be the result of mere chance.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE, in contending for the ne cessity of having a fixed duty instead of a sliding scale, alleged that the frauds which had taken place in the averages, by which some parties had realised enormous fortunes, proved to demonstration that the present system was defec tive as a protection to the farmer, because, owing to these frauds, the country had more than once been inundated with foreign corn, while the revenue had been also defrauded. The noble marquis concluded by declaring that, in the alter ation proposed by the government, the only object was the benefit of all classes ; and so far was he from thinking that it could be productive of injury to the agricultural interests, that he, as a landed proprietor, with estates, some of which were in the condition of those estates alluded to on a former evening, and holding also considerable landed property in Ireland, most conscientiously declared that he could not claim to himself the merit of making any personal sacrifice in advocating the proposed change. . _ The Duke of WELLINGTON said that the noble marquis ought to take some steps to prevent those frauds in the ave rages, by which he was aware that large fortunes had been made, though he had not heard that they had been recently practised. He argued that the object ought to be to legis late for the benefit of all classes, and he hoped that these discussions every night, which seemed to be brought on for the purpose of creating excitement, if one might judge by the constant personal allusions resorted to, might cease, and that a serious examination of the whole subject might take place, either upon the second reading of a bill, or in a committee above stairs. . _ . . . . _....._ , Earl k ITZWILLIAM said that this was what he was anxious for, and in order to obtain which, he had in former sessions brought forward distinct motions. Several bills on the table :were forwarded a stage, and their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-TUESDAY Mr. DUNCOMUE presented a number of petitions, one of which was signed by 1,300,000 persons, praying for the release of all political offenders ; for a free pardon to Frost, Williams, and Jones; and for the adoption of the principles of the charter by the [louse of Commons. Colonel SIBTIIORP moved that the prayer of the large petition should be read, which excited some amusement, for the House of Commons was by no means of sufficient dimensions to allow the petition to be unrolled. At the request of Sir R. Peel, the gallant colonel withdrew his motion. _ . . Mr. DUNCOMBE then addressed the house in support of the motion of which he had given notice, for an address to the Crown, praying , that her Majesty would be graciously pleased to take into her consideration the case of all prisoners confined in England and Wales for political offences. Mr. P. MAPLE admitted that the labouring classes had conducted themselves so well during a time of severe trial, that their petitions were entitled to every respect from the House of Commons ; but he thought it inexpedient to agree to an address to the Crown upon the subject. The hon. gentleman cited the cases of many of the prisoners in order to show that th e y h a d no t b een t rea t e d w ith un d ue seve rity. With respect to Frost, ;Warns, and Jones, he could hold out no hope of their . 'ardoned ; and as to the adoption of the principles of , arter, the hon. member might bring that subject • iscussion, by embodying those principles in a bill, a ` :ing it under discussion.

Mr. ,EASTROPZ then moved for leave to bring in a bill for the settlement of the long-agitated question of church-rates. Tie hon. gentleman went over the same arguments against charch-rates, and expressed a hope that the question would not be treated as one of property, inasmuch as that could acareely be considered as property which depended on the votes of the majority of a vestry. He would propose to abolish church-rates altogether, and to give power to the es tablishment to levy a rate on pews and seats, whieb he be lieved would afford a sufficient sum to supply the deficiency caused by snob abolitioP. an English merchant was an honest, honourable man, inca pable of fraud. He was then too highly-minded to take ad vantage of the poverty or ignorance of those with whom he dealt. Now, the case is quite reversed, and nothing is so common as to hear persons in trade declare—" it is impos sible to gain a livelihood, if we do as we would be done by." And who are the persons who have thus changed the cha racter of our merchants ? Look over the list of your free traders, and at the very top you will read their names! Judge, then, of their motives by their actions. It is they who, not content with one branch of trade, usurp the whole. They are like birds of prey hovering over the carcases of our ruined manufacturers in every market. They think it no dishonour to buy of sinking men as cheap as they can, know ing full well that they are thus robbing their creditors, and are " greedily gaining of their neighbours by extortion, hav ing forgotten God and his commandment,—to do unto others as we would they should do unto us ;" entirely forgetti9 that " He will smite His hand at their dishonest gain.' These men employ their harpies to seek up those who are in difficulties, and taking advantage of their necessities, they buy their- " stocks" at half their value. They then sell these stolen goods to the shopkeepers at a very low price, compared with their real value ; and thus they reduce the price of every article, and compel the respectable shopkeepers and manu facturers to lower their prices and their wages, until it is im possible to allow the artisans such remunerations for their excessive labour as will enable them to live. The 'mull:dee turer is then driven to make deceptive goods ;—hence the reason why now it isimpossible to buy any article, even down to a skein of silk or thread, which is worth using. Next fol lows the bankruptcy of the shopkeepers. Many will read this letter, who from sad experience know that all this is true, but who did not before know that the free-trade prin ciple was the cause of it. I remember once hearing, from the lips of one of the most respectable manufacturers in Yorkshire, the following anec dote, showing how these thieves commenced their operations some five and twenty years ago. He told me that he was then in London. when an acquaintance of his said, " Mr. —, you understand the quality of woollen goods, and can spare £5OOO out of your concern; I will put £5OOO to yours, and formant asked his plan, and he was answered " You shall go with me into the city to-night, and I will show you how it is to be done." They went in the dark to one of the streets running from Cheapside—(in those days the harpies were ashamed of their trade: now they sin in the face of the day, and boast of their prosperity in parliament !—they entered a warehouse—there was the poor manufacturer with his bale of goods—my friend examined them, and declared that they were cheap at the invoice price. The poor manufacturer was in distress—the bale of goods was worth £145 ; £7O must be had next morning, or a prison would have been his home. The " wholesale money-maker" satisfied himself of the just charge. He took his pen, and wrote at the foot of the in voice, "By 50 per cent. discount for cash, £72 10s." Then handing the document to the trembling manufacturer, he said, " I don't want the goods—you want the money—you can have the amount in the morning—l shall give no more." The result was, that the offer of one-halt the value was taken; and these goods were afterwards sold to the shops, and were shown to other manufacturers, in order to reduce the prices of their goods. My friend said, as he went away, " Is this the way you would teach me to make money by wholesale ? I would rather take a pistol and turn highway man ; his business is honourable and gentlemanly, in com parison with such cowardice, meanness, and cold-blooded cheating as I have seen to-night." I need not say that my informant resisted the luring bait. The other followed the unholy gain, got rich, and now calls himself an English merchant! My friend, who told me this fact, was then worth at least £40,000 ! Honesty, industry, and capital were unable to stand against this free trade monster—he lost all—.-took refuge in the Gazette, and since then, a broken heart has lodged him in an untimely grave ! But the whole sale robber has been in parliament I have known these slaughter-house masters (that is the name that they are best known by) pilfer from a needy manu facturer 1000 pieces of cloth, avowedly cheap at 6s. a yard, for 3s. 9d. a yard ! and then call it honest dealing ! If such cheating cannot be prevented by law, your estates will not long remain your own, for see what is the consequence to society of such fraud and robbery. Thirty years ago, Saddle worth was the most prosperous and thriving clothing district in the empire. The weavers then worked eight or nine hours a day, and were comfortable and happy, and earned very good wages. "In the last twenty years," says a friend of mine, who is your tenant, " I can count at least eighty respectable Saddleworth domestic manufacturers, who would now be glad to obtain a day's wages for a day's work, and many of them are reduced to pauperism I!!—Then, it was no uncom mon thing to see the miller's pony conveying to the weaver's cottage a pack of flour and of meal—then, you saw a cart load of coalS, every now and then, delivered at the weaver's door. Now, an ass can carry all the coals they buy ; and a little child conveys a stone or half a stone of flour or meal on her head in a pillow-case—this small quantity being all that they can procure; and this, trifling as it is, is too often pro cured on credit." My friend adds, "If you would seek for the names of the old, respectable, and formerly wealthy ma manufacturers of Saddleworth, and their children, you must search for them amongst the mill operatives, the paupers, or the emigrants" ! ! In the neighbourhood of your Yorkshire estates, on the moor edges, hand-loom weavers are happy to obtain carrion—yes, sir, carrion for their food, after working fourteen hours a-day ! This is not all, the domestic manufacturers and weavers are not the only sufferers by this ravenous system of free trade. A few years ago, a large mill-owner, who knew all about if, assured me, boastingly, " It is astonishing how many of the estates of Lancashire and Cheshire have their title-deeds lodged in Manchester." It is well known that the authors of so much misery—the producers of so much poverty—the perpetrators of such wrongs, are the noisy brawlers for the liberal—free trade — principle. THE FREEMEN'S MUNICIPAL RIGHTS. Prom the Norfolk Times, We have been favoured with copies of the following letters addressed to the Committee of the Norwich Freemen, on the subject of the restoration of their municipal rights, and the support, by petitions, of Mr. Fitzroy Kelly's bill on that subject, to which are appended an opinion of the present Attorney-General : " Liverpool, May 5, 1841 " Sir,—Although from a pressure of engagements, and from ill health, I have been obliged to resign the chair of the Tradesmen's Conservative Association of this town, yet I have much pleasure in forwarding your letter to Mr. Ledson, the active and able chairman of the Operative Association, and I have requested him to lay your letter before the asso ciation at its next meeting, or if that should not be soon, he will probably call a special meeting on such an important subject. I know it has engaged their attention, and I trust your communication will have the effect of inducing them to take active steps to bring their just claims before parliament. It is absurd and insulting to the freemen of England to waste night after night in attempting to enfranchise the Popish serfs in Ireland, who will be driven up to vote according to the dictation of a priesthood, who are inimical to liberty of conscience and enemies of the Protestant institutions of our country, while the supporters of such a system would deny to the intelligence of the English mechanic the right to which they are entitled by birth and servitude. " I heartily wish you success, and shall be, glad to lend my humble assistance to aid Mr. Kelly's praiseworthy efforts in this town, in any way which my operative brethren may suggest. " I trust that the loyalty and Protestants of Britain will, with united voices, drive from the helm the present miserable government, who are doing all in their power to ruin the land, and prostrate its inhabitants at the feet of papal Rome. " The operatives of Norwich may rest assured, that their loyal efforts will be beneficial to the country, and will, ere long, be attended with success. " The horizon brightens, and a better prospect lies before us. " I am, Sir, your faithful servant, " SAMUEL HOLME. "To Mr. James Green, Secretary to the Operative " Freemen's Committee, Pope's Head Inn, Norwich." " Operative Conservative Rooms, Houghton-street, Liverpool, May 6, 1841. •g Sir,—Samuel H o l mes , E s q., ex-chairman of the Liver pool Tradesmen's Conservative Association has handed your letter to him of the 3d instant to Daniel Ledson, Esq., chairman of this society, who has directed me to reply to it by assuring you that this so c iety, which is composed prin cipally of freemen, or what is now termed old burgesses, will ren der you its most hearty ass i s t ance i n res toring freemen to their pristine rights and privileges ; and that we may the better do so, I have his directions to request that you will furnish me with a copy of your petition and such further in formation as may tend to further the objects in view. " I am, sir, yours most respectfully, " THONI AS JONES, Honorary Secretary. " Mr. James Green, Secretaryto the Freemen's Society, Pope's Head Inn, Norwich." "391, Strand, London " Sir,—l hare received your letter in London this day, and will take care to put it into the hands of the conservatives of Shrewsbury, who, lam sure, will attend to it. lam sorry I cannot myself in consequence of being obliged to remain in London for a week or more. " I remain, sir, your much obliged seryant, " JOHN FRAIL, " Secretary to the Conservative Club. Shrewsbury." " Committee Room, Pope'e Head Inn, Norwich, May 10, 1841. " Sir,—l am instructed by Mr. Edward Traxton, chair man of the Norwich Operative Freemen's Committee, to transmit his sincere thanks for the promptitude with which you forwarded my letter of the 3d instant to Daniel Ledson, Esq., and for the constitutional and excellent observations contained in your letter to me of May sth, which I shall lay before the committee this evening. " I have also to state, that at the request of the chairman of the Liverpool Tradesmen's Conservative Association, I have by this day's post sent a copy of the Norwich petition for the restoration of the municipal rights of the freemen, &c. " I am, sir, your most obedient servant, "JANIES GREEN, " Secretary to the Operative Freemen's Committee. " To Samuel Holme, Esq., Operative Conservative Rooms, Houghton-street, Liverpool." N on o , rw c ic h h air M ma a n y 0 10 f , th 1 e 8.41. " Committee Room, Pope's Head Inn, " Sir,—Mr. Edward Traxton, operative Freemen's Committee, has directed me to express his grate ful thanks for the willing and hearty assistance offered to the committee by Daniel Ledson, Esq., Ch airman of the Liver pool Operative Association ; and in obedience to his instruc tions and your request, I have enclosed a copy of the petition for the restoration of the municipal rights of the freemen of this city. " Provided the Norfolk Chronicle is filed in Liverpool, you are respectfully referred to the copies of the respective dates April 11th and May 9th, 1840, in which is recorded the whole proceedings at two public meetings, each attended by several thousands persons upon that important subject. It is desirable that you should read those reports, that you may have a full knowledge of the course that has been pursued by this committee. Lest there are any vested rights belonging to the freemen of Liverpool which may have been affected by the new Municipal Corporation Act, I have also enclosed a copy of the present Attorney-General's opinion on a case submitted by the corporation of York, in which you will see that property of that description is not now legally protected, and in fact that the corporation of York resigned the trust of all the lands, &c., belonging to the freemen of that city in consequence of that opinion. " I am, Sir, your very obedient Servant, " JAMES GREEN, " Secretary to the Operative Freemen's Committee. " Thomas Jones, Esq., Operative Conservative Rooms, Houghton-street, Liverpool." The following questions were submitted to Sir John Camp. hell, in 1836, by the corporation of York " Ist. Whether the soil and freehold of the strays and common pastures are legally vested in the present corpora• tion Opinion —" The soil and freehold of all the strays and common pastures are now vested'in the present corporation of York as trustees for the-benefit of the freemen." 2nd. " Whether the customs and usages which were in existence relative to the appointment of wardens and pas ture-masters, and the regulations of the strays continue in force, and, if they become void, in whom the regulations and management is vested ; and it in the freemen in what man ner can they exercise it ? Opinion.—" The same difficulties and disputes which are above described, have occurred at Beverley and other places, and the case of property vested in a corporation for the ex clusive benefit of the freemen has not been distinctly con templated in framing the Municipal Corporation Act, and is not sufficiently provided for. " There must be some new legislation on the subject, as the freemen have no power to - .rake by-laws or regulations for the management of such property, and it is very doubt-. ful whether the power to make such by-laws and regulations which belonged to the old corporation, or particular parts of them, can be transferred to the new. " In the meantime I would most earnestly recommend to the corporation and to the freemen of York to come to some amicable arrangement for the management of their strays and pastures, and as the freemen have exclusively the bene ficial interests, their wishes ought to be attended to, and such appointments and rules as they reasonably submit to the Town Council should, I think, be adopted and sane- tioned. " In this way litigation may be avoided, and the property turned to the best advantage " Aprill4, 1836 " J. CAMPBELL, Temple." The Bromsgrove clergyman, a Sunday or two ago, missed his spectacles when he was about to commence his sermon. He thrust his hands into all his pockets—searched every corner of his pulpit—it was all in vain—his " helps to read" could nowhere be found. He had therefore no alternative but to descend from his elevation, and request one of the officials to go to the parsonage for the forgotten spectacles. The man smiled, and whispered in the good priest's ear. He blushed—looked confused—and returned to the rostrum — quietly pulling his spectacles down from his forehead as he mounted the steps, and beginning to preach with a resolute appearance of unconcernment. But the joke could not be concealed from the congregation, who tittered all round at their pastor's.absence of mind. SHAKSPEREIANA.---011 Tuesday there was a large assem blage (at Evans's auction-room, London) in consequence of the sale of a deed with Shakspere's signature ; the Shakspere Cup; &c. Mans , attended to examine the deed, the authen ticity of which was rendered indisputable by the fact of its it was eventually knocked down to Mr. Elkins for £165 15s. (1,444) The " Shakspere Cup," made from the mulberry tree planted by Shakspere, beautifully carved 'on the sides with a medallion of Shakspere and his arms. It was nearly thirty years in the possession of the late Mr. Munden. £2l. A FIT SUBJECT FOR CLEMENCY. — BIondeau, whose capi tal punishment was remitted by the king, on his majesty passing through Melun on his late visit to Fontainebleau, was exposed on the pillory on Wednesday last in the market-place of the former town. Two days before, as he was being brought back from Paris, where he had been to have the commutation of the pain of death into hard labour for life and the pillory recorded, he suddenly broke the cords by which the gendarmes were leading him, escaped into a wood by the road side, and was not secured again till after a des perate struggle. On being brought into the prison he con tinued his extreme violence, breaking every piece of furniture in his cell, striking and abusing his gaolers, and compelling them at last to put fetters on his hands and feet. In the night preceding his exposition be contrived, by means of a file, which he had succeeded in concealing from the minute search of his person, to saw through, and relieve himself from, the irons by which his feet were bound, and in the morning was found free, and more furious than ever ; inso much that, before he could be again fettered, it was necessary to call in the aid of the guard. It was not till his hands and feet were loaded with the strongest irons, and he was further bound with cords, that he could be concluded to the pillory. During the whole time he remained there he was silent, but his countenance displayed his ferocious and malignant mind. The crowd, which was immense, could not refrain from loudly expressing regret that such a malefactor should have escaped the penalty of his crimes. On being searched again, when he was led back to prison, the file with which he had cut through his fetters was at length discovered.—Galignani's Messenger. - - - A QUEER TESTIMONIAL.—A sailor, who has been cured by " Baron Spolasco" of some disorder, presented him the other day with his cast-off crutches! Nor BAD.—The Cincinnati Daily News tells the story of an editor who recently got married, and being somewhat con fused he headed the mariage notice with—" Dreadful Cala mity." The next day his wife gave him a proof of the mis take by boxing his ears, and nearly knocked his form intopie. REPRESENTATION OF LONDON. — This morning the requi sition to Lord John Russell is in circulation. The following is a copy of the requisition :—" We, the undersigned electors of the city of London, hereby request that you will, in the event of a dissolution of parliament, permit yourself to be put in nomination as a representative of the city of London in the ensuing parliament." --Government Evening Print. ORIGIN OF BLACK MONDAY. — BIack Monday was OIL Easter Monday in the year 339, and derived its name from the following circumstance : " When Edward 111., of Eng land, was in France, and on his march, within two leagues of Chartres, there blew a cold and piercing wind, which soon became a furious tempest, accompanied with lightning, rain, and hailstones of a size so large as to kill 6000 of his horses, and 1000 of the flower of his army." THE MAILS TO MALTA, THE lONIAN ISLANDS, AND GREECE.—A notice has been issued by the Post-office au thorities, stating that henceforth all letters for Malta, the lonian Islands, and Greece, not specially addressed "via Falmouth," or " by French packet," if posted after the de parture of the overland mail of the 4th of every month, will have to be forwarded by the Mediterranean mail of the middle of the month. LAMENTABLE ACCIDENT NEAR CIIESTER.—It is with the deepest pain that we have to record a most lamentable accident which occurred on Sunday night. It appears on that day Mr. John Eaton, brewer, of Chester, with his daughter, Ann Maxwell Eaton, a little girl six years of age, Mr. Henry Thomas, draper, and his two sisters, Mrs. Ray, and Miss Charlotte Thomas, had been at Parkgate, in a phaeton, on a visit. They returned home rather late in the evening, and reached Mollington about ten o'clock at night. On passing Mr. Fielden's gates, the horse, a very spirited animal, took fright, and ran into the gutter by the road side. Mr. Eaton, who was driving, had partially managed to get the horse out of the gutter, when the wheel of the phaeton passed over a stump of hawthorn bush, and overset it. Mr. Henry and Miss Charlotte Thomas were thrown over the hedge and the remainder of the party were pitched under the phmton , which rolled upon them, the splash-board falling on Miss Eaton's breast. Mr. Thomas immediately ran to the lodge to procure assistance ; and Lancely, the porter, with his wife and a person named Croft, went directly to the phaeton. It was removed as speedily as possible, but Miss Eaton was quite dead. Mrs. Ray, we are afraid, is injured internally, but we are happy to say no bones are broken.— Cheater Courant. FAILURE OF A BANK.—We regret to learn that the bank of Messrs. Price, Jones, and Edwards, called the Salop and North Wales Bank, at Shrewsbury, has stopped payment. This bank drew on Messrs. Barnetts, Hoare, and Co. We have to communicate the total destruction by fire of Tetcott House, the property of Sir W. Molesworth, Bart., on Friday afternoon last. The house, which was built about seven years since, cost upwards of £5OOO in its erection. A report was spread, ascribing the fire to be the work of an incendiary, but it has been ascertained to have been purely accidental, resulting from an accumulation of soot in a crack of the flue taking fire. The furniture and papers were saved. — West of England Conservative. STATE OF THE LIBEL LAW.—When the simple rules as to libel were first established—that is, when printing was yet unknown, when few could read and fewer still could write— the offence of publishing a libel was of rare occurrence. The vastness of the change which a different state of education and society have wrought in this respect may be in some measure estimated by the consideration that there are few, if any, of the higher or middle classes of life who are not, in legal strictness, amenable for transgressions of these . rules. Every one who delivers to another any book, magazine, or newspaper, containing any libellous matter, is, in point of law, guilty of an illegal publication. The libraries of the universities and of numerous persons of literary attainments usually contain many books, ancient as well as modern. of a very libellous description. It is true that many reasons may be urged for allowing books or engravings to be contained in such depositories for the purposes of study, or of literary or scientific research, although much mischief might result to religion or morals from their more public exhibition. The law, however, knows no such distinction, but subjects all who are concerned in the publication of the same illegal matter to its scope same penalties. A law which thus includes within cope the subjects of the realm by thousands, which would, if rigidly enforced, consign to the flames and subsequent ob livion many works, ancient as well as modern, which not uh frequently find a place in distinguished libraries , would, if so enforced , be scarcely tolerable. The reason why so indis criminate a law is less 'oppressive than might have been ex pected seems simply to be this, that it is but rarely put in force. In stating this, we of course confine the remark to the criminal branch of the law, for undoubtedly instances have occurred of civil proceedings of a very harassing nature, where successive actions have been brought against mere vendors of newspapers in respect of the very same personal libel.—P. 68, Sixth Report of the Criminal Law Commis sioners Report. MELANCHOLY MARRIAGE.—On Sunday, Mr. Nathan Coope, a shopkeeper, in Westgate, Bradford, married a fe male, of the name of Hannah Newell, living in the same neighbourhood. The parties were married at the Leeds parish church. After spending the day at Potovens, near Wakefield, the wedding party were on their return home in a gig, about eleven o'clock in the evening. On the road, the horse became unmanageable, broke off at full gallop, and on reaching the Wheat Sheaf bar, ran with its head against the gates, and was stopped. Coope jumped out with the intention of seizing the horse's head, but did not succeed, and the animal again set off. His wife and sister, who were along with him, being alarmed, jumped out of the gig, and we regret to state, the bride was killed on the spot, and her sister so dangerously injured that her life is despaired of. — Leeds Mercury.

(From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott 6. Son.) The imports of Grain, Flour, and Oatmeal, have been very mo derate since this day week, and the demand has continued steady for Wheat, and Flour, at fully prices last quoted, and in some in stances a little exceeded by Id to 2d per 701 b for fine sweet fresh qualities of the former, and 3d to 6d per sack and per barrel on the latter article ; duty has been paid last week on about 5000 quarters of Foreign Wheat, fine fresh qualities being scarce; for all other articles in the Corn trade the demand has been very limited, and prices barely supported. .There is no alteration in the duties payable on Grain from foreign ports this week; a small cargo of Odessa Wheat, in bond, has been sold at 4s 6tl per 701 b, but no more can be had on such low terms ; some parcels of Flour, in bend, have changed hands at 22s to 235 per barrel for the finer qualities from the United States, and at 20s for New Orleans ; and a small quantity of bonded Oats has found sales for,export at 3s to 3s 2d per 451 b. At this day's sr arket, the advance above noted was obtained for fine fresh English and Foreign Wheat and Flour, to a limited ex tent ; but all other articles in the Corn Trade were very dull, and purchases might have been made at a small decline.

We have had an exceedingly flat market for Cotton to-day, with very little doing, and the total sales do not exceed 1500 bags, all of which have - been purchased by the trade. Prices are in some in stances rather easier, although there is generally speaking no ma terial alteration from the quotations of last week. COTTON MARKET, MAY 27, We continue to have a very limited business doing in Cotton, the trade buying very sparingly. The . sales to-day are 1500 bags, all to the trade, and consist principally of American descriptions.

Lamb in very brisk demand, and all sold off early in the day at from 8d to iod as to quality. A few beasts unsold, and all the Sheep and Lambs cleared off.
