Varlintrientittv liiroi:VOill46 fibegt OF eCEMMONS,—MONDAY. ‘4 ` I The attendance of members was very full, owing to the expected discussion on her Majesty's message. Sir R. Pl.: EL moved an address to her Majesty, thanking her for her most gracious message relative to the marriage of the Princess Augusta of Cambridge. To this he anticipated no objection, and he should afterwards move that the house should resolve itself into committee to take the message into consideration. Mr. HUME moved an amendment, with the view of adding „ that the house wo u ld t a k e th e message i nto cons id era ti ot s with adu ,ense of the state of the country in its finances its commercial concerns, and the dist ested couditic vast portion of the population Mr. WILLIAsts seconded the amendment Sir R. PEEL hoped that the hon. members would not per severe, as the motion only pledged the house to take the message into consideration, and in no way pledged hon. mem bers to any subsequent course. In committee he would make his proposition, which he flattered himself would con vince the house that ministers were by no means indifferent to the present condition of the country. Lord Howrex suggested to the government the propriety of only bringing forward its proposition on that evening, and giving some time for its consideration by not asking the chairman to report progress until a future evening. . Sir lt. PEEL said that if after he had made his proposition he should find the general feeling to be in favour of the course suggested he would at once acquiesce, convinced as he was that the value of his proposition would depend snore upon the manner in which it was acceded to by the house than by the force of numbers by which it might be carried. Lord J. RUSSELL hoped that this course would be pur sued, and that the right hon. baronet might be allowed to state the proposal of the government. Mr. llos.rit became nettled at some calls of " divide " from the ministerial side of the house, while be was speaking in redly, and said he would divide. On the division, Mr. Hume's amendment was negatived by a majority of 276 to 52. The house then went into committee, and Sir R. PEEL said that, in proposing to make a provision for the Princess Augusta, the government had no intention of making any immediate addition to the burdens of the country. It was the intention of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge to make provisionTfor his daughter dur ing his own lifetime; and he, therefore, only proposed a resolution to enable her Majesty to confer on the Princess Augusta an annuity of £3OOO per annum after the death of her father. Mr. MACKINNON moved as an amendment, that the an nuity should be reduced to £2OOO, but to be granted from the period of ber royal highness's marriage. Sir R. PEEL said that the proposed reduction was in fact ► an increase on the grant be moved for, inasmuch as it would . commence immediately; and he therefore hoped it would not be entertained by the committee. After some discussion, Mr. MACKINNON withdrew his amendmen,. Mr. WILLIAMs then adverted to the appointments held by the Duke of Cambridge, and also said that there was a Duke of Mecklenburg, the father or grandfather of the present duke, who was already a pensioner on this country, and had been so for a period of forty-five years. The sums paid to these German princes and princesses who were allied to our royal family already amounted to £200,000 per annum. This fact and the distressed condition of the country justified him in opposing the grant. Sir H. DOUGLAS supported the motion for a grant to the grand-daughter of that monarch who had voluntarily sur rendered the immense revenues of the crown to the control of parliament. Sir R. PEEL eventually consented to postpone the discus sion until Wednesday. Colonel RUSHBROOKE then moved a new writ for the bo rough of Sudbury. Mr. TUFN EL moved, as an amendment, that leave be given to bring in a bill for effectual inquiry into bribery and corrupt practices said to exist in the borough of Sudbury, the inquiry which took place before the House of Lords having been wholly inadequate. He contended that it was impossible that the House of Commons could agree to the issue of a writ after having passed a bill to disfranchise the borough. He proposed that the commissioners of inquiry should be empowered to go down to Sudbury, in order that the inves tigation might be thoroughly carried out. Mr. C. W. WYNN said that the house would scarcely do its duty if it did not inquire fully into the whole case, and he would therefore move as an amendment that a committee should be appointed to inquire into the causes which led the House of Lords to throw out the bill for the disfranchisement of Sudbury. Mr. TUFNFLL withdrew his amendment to make room for that of Mr. Wynn. Colonel RUSHBROOKE contended that the evidence did not affect the whole of the constituency, and he would therefore take the sense of the house on his motion. Sir R. Peet said that after the house bad almost unani mously passed the Sudbury Disfranchisement bill some in formation was required ,in order to explain why such very imperfect evidence had been placed before the House of Lords. This inquiry might perhaps justify the bill of Mr. Tufnell, and should therefore precede it. Colonel Rostrianoorc withdrew his motion, and M r.Wynn's amendment was agreed to. Mr. TUFNELL then moved that the writ for Sudbury should be suspended for one month, which was agreed to. On the motion for the house resolving itself into a com mittee of ways and means, Lord Howtcg moved as an amendment for a committee of the whole house on so much of the act 5 and G Victoria, c. 47 as related to the imposition of a duty on the exportation of coals. His object was to obtain a repeal of the duty im posed last year, which could not have been laid on for the purpose of economising our supply of coals, because it bad been estimated that the coal fields of Durham and Northum berland would last fur upwards of 1700 years, without taking into account the sepplies from Staffordshire and the other inland counties. As there was nu fear of exhausting the supply, there was no reason why our shipping interest should be injured to the extent to which they were damnified by that measure. It had caused the trade to fall off one-third, although that trade had for some years previously increased ten-fold under the system of free trade. In Germany and other countries they were increasing the facilities of convey ance so far that if once they were enabled to supply the de mand which we were by this duty refusing to satisfy, we might vainly seek hereafter to recover the trade by a reduction of that duty to which its loss was to be attributed. As all il lustration of such short.sighted policy as that of attempting to compel our neighbours to submit to taxation for our benefit he quoted the case of Naples, which had sought to compel this country to pay a tax which it levied upon the exportation of sulphur. The result was, that our chemists and manufacturers at home Lever rested until they had ac complished the manufacture of sulphur here, and thus after Naples had retraced her policy she found that nevertheless this country had been enabled to maintain competition with her in our own markets, and that a considerable portion of the trade in that article had been consequently lost to that country. The proprietors of the Great Western steam-ship were in the habit of sending out coals to America for the consumption of the return voyage. The duty prevented their doing so any longer, and they were now compelled to make the return voyage with American coal. The right hon. baronet had estimated the produce from the coal duty at .£140,000, but it had only produced £lOO,OOO, from which was to be deducted £12,000, the amount of the former duty. This miscalculation, however, was not the only evil, for he believed that the Treasury was a loser rather than a gainer by a measure which by its indirect operation affected every branch of trade in the kingdom. Mr. GLADSTONE said be should not at that late hour reply to the invectives against the Government, with which the noble lord had interspersed his speech. He admitted that a tax upon one branch of export necessarily had an effect upon all other articles connected with it, and he also admitted that to regain a trade once lost was far more difficult than was its original attainment; but these were general propositions which no one would dispute. The real question was whether the finances of the country were in such a position as to per mit the opening up of the discussion of the repeal duties. The short experience of nine months was not sufficient to test the policy of this duty, which was not adopted until after the fullest consideration. The right honourable gentle man contended at some length that the duty vas perfectly justifiable under the circumstances of the country, and that the estimates upon which Lord Howiek had grounded his opposition to it were fallacious. The tailing off in the expor tation of coals, as shown by the noble lord, was only a falling off as compared with the trade of last year; but last year's trade was unnaturally swelled by the enormous exportation which took place in anticipation of the duty. He was not of opinion that the pressure on the shipping interest was to be attributed to this tax, but rather to the general depression in trade ; nor did he think any case had been made out calling for the interference of the house. Mr. H. HINDE said that the defence of the tax by Mr. Gladstone amounted only to this, that the shipping interests were not so badly off as they might have been. Ile thought that no answer had been given to the case made out by Lord Howick. Lord HARRY VANE said that the result of the tax would be to cause English capitalists to go over to France, to work the coal mines in that country, of which there were no less than sixty one open, though not worked. Mr. BELL would support the motion, though he did not think it well-timed and had done all he could to induce Lord Howick not to bring it forward. Sir G. CLERK contended that the tax had not depreciated the shipping and trading interests as was insisted upon by the noble lord. Mr. LABOUCHERE contended that the coal and spirit du ties, which had been last year laid on, were wholly failures as measures of revenue, while they had inflicted great mischief on the shipping and other interests of the country. He should vote against the tax because the evil it was producing was out of all proportion to the amount of revenue it brought Sir ROBERT PEEL reminded the house that there was still a deficit in the revenue to meet the expenditure, and they were not therefore in a position to listen to propositions for the reduction of taxes. With respect to the diminution of our export of coals to the United States, it was to be accoun ted for hv the fact that those states had levied a duty of no less than 8s a ton on the importation of British coal. They had not sufficient experience to judge of the operation of the tax, and he therefore hoped the house would support the Go vernment in opposing the motion of the noble lord, Mr. LIDDELL said that although in point of time he thought the motion of Lord llowick injudicious, yet he should give it his support. The motion being lost on division, by 187 to 124. the house went into committee pro forma, and re sumed. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the house adjourned. HOUSE OF LORDS—TuEsnav The Duke of WELLINGTON moved that an address be pre sented to her Majesty, thanking her Majesty for her most gracious message respecting a provision for her Royal High ne►s the Princess Augusta of Cambridge, and expressing their lordships readiness to take into consideration any proposition which might be submitted to them. • Earl FORTESCUE quite agreed in the propriety of the mes sage; but called attention to the marriages of the Duke of Sussex, who had left two children unprovided for, and for whom some provision ought to be made. The Duke of WELLINGTON said that the facts were only known to him as they were to the world generally ; but at all events their case could not be considered in connection with the present motion. The motion was then agreed to. The Earl of ABERDEEN then moved the second reading of the bill for regulating the admission of ministers to benefices in the Church of Scotland. The Earl of ROSEBERRY opposed the second reading be cause not only was it not calculated to meet the present emergency, but also because it contained principles to which he could not accord his assent. The noble earl moved as an amendment, that the bill be read a second time that day six months. Lord BROUGHAM had no doubt whatever of the sincerity and honesty of the seceders, but thought the course they had pnrsued very injudicious, for when zeal should begin to cool they would find that they would separate into sects ; or, look ing at the matter in another point of view, they would expe rience the difficulty, with the exception of some few popular preachers, of maintaining themselves and their families. The bill of the noble earl was not calculated, as he had admitted, to conciliate the seceders, but it was calculated to gratify what remained of the Church, and that gratification he was not dis posed to give them by conferring upon them privileges here tofore exercised by other parties. The noble and learned lord then analysed the provisions of the bill, which bill was not, he contended, consistent with the existing law.

During the greater I TO MERCHANTS, BROKERS, AND OTHERS The largely increased and most respectable circulation which the Tuesday's Edition of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD has now obtained amongst the mercantile body in Manchester affords its proprietors the gratify ing power of urging this, amongst the other undeniable claims which it possesses, upon the favor of that portion of the mercantile community of Liverpool who desire to bring their advertisements before the notice of buyers in the neighbouring manufacturing districts. In most of the surrounding towns of Lancashire the circulation of the STANDARD is steadily increasing. In Manchester, however, the centre of the manufacturing district, our publication of Tuesday—occurring upon the most im portant market day of the Cotton Trade, when its Exchange and Hotels are thronged with country manu facturers, spinners, and calico printers—is firmly es tablished in circulation, and is perused with increased and increasing interest. Under these encouraging circumstances, we trust to receive an increased measure of support from the mer chants and brokers of the town generally ; and it affords us great pleasure to assure those of our friends amongst those classes, who have hitherto bestowed their adver tising favours liberally upon us, of our increased ability to do justice to the interests committed to their care. EA)r Libel 00l 'tanbat•b. FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 16, 1843 We insert elsewhere some further announcements of the . " progress of repeal," and amongst them will be found a few particulars of a " formidable demonstra tion" at Mallow, in county Cork, on Sunday last, at which, according to the statement of the Cork Exa miner, upwards of four hundred thousand persons were present. Such enormous assemblages of misguided men are not the only alarming symptoms connected with the repeal agitation, though these are sufficiently dangerous ; and yet, if we are to credit the London correspondent of the Dublin Evening Mail," no step is to be taken to repress the Irish agitation." Our , readers are already aware, from a paragraph in our last paper, that a cabinet council was held on Sunday last, very unexpectedly, and this fatal determination was then, according to the authority we have men tioned, resolved upon. We will, however, give this extraordinary statement in the language of our contemporary. " LONDON, MONDAY.—No step is to be taken to repress the Irish agitation. A "cabinet council was held yesterday (Sunday), and after a very stormy debate the fatal decision was resolved upon. Sir R. Peel's vapouring in the House of Commons was, it is now manifest, properly characterised -b Mr. O'Connell as a mere brulum fulmen. At the very moment that her Majesty's ministers were sitting in delibe ration, the leaders of her Majesty's opposition were, by a curious coincidence, also assembled in conclave at Lord John Russell's residence. Ireland was there, too, the subject of deliberation. Several assaults are to be made in the present month on ministers ; and the result, it is anticipated, will be further concessions to the Irish party 1" " LONDON TUESDAY.—I t he rumours to-day in the differ ent political clubs were more numerous than usual, and all of a conciliatory tendency. The result of the councils held lately by the ministers is said to be this—that a series of mo tions will be submitted to the House of Commons, which, it is anticipated, will extort further concessions from the go vernment in favour of the so called liberal party in Ireland. Some say that Sir Robert Peel is prepared to sacrifice what remains of the established church, in the hope of propitiating Mr. O'Connell and the priests. Others, that a federal union is to be conceded, and the rumour to-day at Brook's and the Reform Club is, that the Queen will be advised to hold a parliament occasionally in College-green. Be these rumours true or false, it is now agreed on all hands that the conser vative party in Ireland has nothing to hope from the govern ment." We know not what truth there may be in these rumours, or in any of the other statements of this gen tleman ; but we have had frequent occasion of noticing his accuracy, and he has given many proofs of the opportunities he possesses of arriving at important in formation. On the supposition that his correspondent is correct, the Dublin Mail of Wednesday makes the following remarks on his letter : " It is not for want of knowledge of the true state of things that ministers thus falter. They know what has gone for ward in public already—they know what is meditated for the future. They know that the mayrnent of rents is even now systematically withheld, and that the non-payment which is now partial, will soon be ordered for universal practice. They know that the assizes are approaching when the intimi dation of juries, and the corruption of witnesses will render the administration of justice a farce—they know that so ciety is resolved to its barbarous elements, and become once more a;chaos ; that the gentry are flying the country—that the magistracy, Protestant and Roman Catholic, are on the point of destruction—that capital has been withdrawn from busi ness—that except to the coffers of the Corn-Exchange, and out of them again, the currency of money has entirely stopped —that the hand of industry has been paralysed—that even the agricultural pursuits of the peasant and the labourer are abandoned, and that of all the works, public or private, going on some weeks ago, there is hardly one in progress but the new temporary Parliamentary House on Burgh Quay. These are portentous signs of the times, and they are all known to mi nisters, or they ought to be. We will tell them something more. We will let them into a secret, which, if they know not, they are not only the more culpable, but perhaps the only persons in the kingdom ignorant of the fact. The loyal and peaceable inhabitants of this country—mark it, Sir Robert Peel—the friends of the British connexion in this country are beginning to ask one or two significant questions : First—Why arc they thus abandoned ; and, secondly, when thus abandoned, are there no reasons why, or no means by which, they could provide for their own safety and interests ? We can assure Sir Robert Peel, that many sober and honest men begin to question whether such terms could not be made with the repealers as would render a parliament in College -green— with a House of Lords as it was constituted before the Union not only a glorious thing for Ireland, but very safe .also for all her inhabitants. They argue from the supposed enlight enment of the times for the safety of their religion, if not for the toleration of their church ; and seeing the interest which Roman Catholic landlords have in the permanence of their titles, they infer that their properties might be made secure enough." We feel that we ought to be under no necessity of apologising to our readers for the somewhat unusual space which we have devoted in our present publica tion to the proceedings of our excellent Collegiate In- stitution. Setling aside the fact that this institution has, so far, proved its capability of conferring vast benefits upon the young, whilst, by its valuable lec tures, it affords large sources of instruction and delight to the adult, there is something in- an examination such as that which has just taken place, which will not permit us to resist the temptation of recording its eventful results. There is a pleasure, even to men wearied with the toil of literary exertion, in witnessing the dawning scholarship of those, who may perhaps be destined to fill higher and nobler paths in life than their own—to win trophies and honours forbidden to themselves. In the young candidates for scholarships at such institutions, we may be gazing upon the poets, the statesmen, the divines, of another age; 'and where even the claim to the possession of eminent talent may not exist, there is certain to be an amount of merits in the candidates which, even in the columns of a thing so ephemeral as a newspaper, some fond parents eye may dwell wfth satisfaction, and the future man, as he takes it occasionally from its sanctum, may gaze with a pride which is sum ely not to be brought against him as an unpardonable offence. We have, therefore, given the results of this exam nation, so honourable to many of the young aspirants, and we may add, to their teachers as well, at fs much length as we could afford ; and we shall on future oc cesions do so, in the conviction that even the humble meed of fame within our power to afford may not be without its uses, in inciting to new exertions and fresh victories, in a field where the trophieb are inexhaustible. And here we may, not unappropriately, record our admiration of the manificent spirit in which some of the Conservative gentlemen of our town, and one ex emplary nobleman—we refer to Messrs.

The blame of these inundations of corn was attributable to reckless speculators •, but speculators, he hoped, there always would be ; and if they were sometimes reckless, it was to be remembered that it was the law which made them so. Our corn laws were not so restrictive prior to 1804 us they were at the present time, and the law since an latter 1815 had not only been more s t r i ngent, b ut i t carr i e d w i t h it the oni yp proposed population.p additional osedT a o m evil l of being applied i evil ed sliding a ne gseal largely-increased governmenta nd a had i a im small e t this hg in the to permit the importation of corn from Canada, as soon as it had been ascertained that no corn was likely to be obtained from thence. The noble lord then quoted from Mr. Web ster's recent speech at Baltimore passages to show how all important it was to commercial men to have certainty in le gislation ; and he also quoted Adam Smith and other autho rities to show that it required extreme caution to change even from a bad system to a good one. Aware of this, he did not purpose an immediate and total repeal of the corn law, but should submit for the consideration of the house the adoption of a moderate fixed duty, and he proposed to go into committee to ascertain the precise amount which would be the fairest compromise between existing interests. He still thought that in times of scarcity the government should have power to suspend the fixed duty if certain occur. rences took place, which occurrences were less likely to arise under a fixed duty than any other circumstances. It was impossible that the present system could be maintained, and he therefore hoped the house would accede to his motion. Mr. GLADSTONE said there appeared to be but little dif ference between the noble lord and himself as to the consi deration to be extended to existing interests, but he entirely differed from him as to the propriety of disturbing those interests by proposing a new change in the corn laws before the recent one had had any thing like a fair trial. The noble lord could scarcely flatter himself that the magic of his oratory would induce the house to agree to his motion, and by so doing reverse decisions which had been so repeatedly affirmed after lengthened debates during the present session. It was contended that the adoption of a fixed duty would lead .to a large extension of our foreign trade ; but •this theory was destroyed by the practical result of what had been already done in the adoption of free trade principles ; for as we adopted those principles we were met by hostile tariffs on the part of foreign nations, who did all that in them lay to enforce a system of restriction. He was of opinion that the present corn law did not afford the same temptations as was given by the old law to import corn in a mass at a parti cular period of the year, as might be proved by a reference to the amounts of delivery. The great fluctuations of price under the old law could not be alleged against the present one, for under its operation there had been no sudden action on the currency—the coffers of the Bank were full, while the complaints of the British shipowner hed been removed. lie was sorry to see a disposition on the part of Englishmen to represent the corn law as a question of rent, founded upon no other principle than that of the selfishness of the land owners, when, in fact, it was justified on the score of pecu liar burdens pressing on the land. No reduction of rents could take place without throwing large portions of land out of cultivation, and thereby injuring both farmers and la bourers. Much stress had been laid upon the necessity of settling this question ; but how was it possible to obtain a settlement between the advocates of a fixed duty and the ad vocates of a total and immediate abolition of all duty on corn? In fact, to accede to the motion of the noble lord would be only unsettling the question. It would be dis honourable on the part of the Government if it disturbed the virtual contract entered into with the agriculturist by the passing of the existing law, and he wished it to be distinctly understood throughout the country that it was not passed with any latent intention of repealing it. Nothing had yet occurred to justify a change, and notwithstanding the active attempts to disturb the minds of the agriculturists he was convinced that a great portion of them were satisfied with the law as it now stood. Mr. Laßoucnene supported the motion of Lord John Russell, arid regretted that a measure so recently passed as the existing corn law should have given rise, owing to the nnsound principles on which it was based, to incessant agita tion and a probability of indefinite danger. Sir R. PEEL said, that even if the motion of Lord J. Rus sell should be carried, the noble lord could still have no hope that he could make any proposition in committee which would be agreed to by those who support his motion for going into committee. The differences between the advocates of a total repeal and of a fixed duty would then become at once appa rent; and the whole proceeding, therefore, must necessarily terminate in nothing. He had no doubt but that the pro position of the noble lord would be moderate enough, but fixed it could not be according even to his own apprehension of future circumstances. The right hon. baronet replied re rialim to the chief arguments of the supporters of the mo tion, and said lie considered the measure of the last year a compromise between all the interests concerned, and which was assented to by the agriculturists on the faith of its being adhered to. Believing that it was most mischievous to be constantly tampering with the corn laws, and believing also that it was impossible that any settlement of the question could be arrived at in consequence of the motion of the noble lord, he should at once, in opposing the motion, avow his determination to maintain the law of last session. Lord J. -Russm.t. replied, and said that hopelessness of immediate success was no ground for not bringing forward such motions. If such a reason were admitted as valid, the questions of parliamentary reform and of Catholic emancipa tion never would have been carried. He had often divided on the question of reform with far less support than he ex pected to receive on that occasion. After a few words from Sir R. PEEL in explanation, the house divided, and the motion of Lord J. Russell was nega tived by a majority of 244 to 145. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-WEDNESDAY Mr. HumE gave notice that on Tuesday week he would bring forward his motion respecting the discontinuance of the pension to the King of Hanover. Mr. M. GIBSON asked if it was the intention of the Go vernment to persevere with the Factories Bill and the Eccle siastical Courts Bill, a general feelisig' being prevalent that the former measure would be abandoned for the present ses sion, in consequence of the frequent postponements which had taken place ? Sir R. PEEL said that the postponements were attributa ble to the frequency of adjourned debates. llis right bon. friend (Sir J. Graham) would however make a statement on the subject of these bills last evening. The house then resolved itself into committee on her Ma jesty's message, and Mr. II oats: objected to the grant of a dowry to the Princess Augusta of Cambridge, although he admitted that the con duct of the Duke of Cambridge in his private as well as pub lic life, as compared with that of the other members of the royal family, was deserving of the admiration of the house. He condemned the motion as emanating from the ministers of the crown, and as calculated to render the princes of the blood dependent upon the minister of the day, an evil of great magnitude when it was considered what influence those princes necessarily exercised over a considerable portion of the public. He thought it right to grant pensions to princes of the blood, but he was opposend to extending this to the remote branches of the royal family, for if it were ne cessary to pay all the Princes well and liberally, they ought to be made to provide for their own offspring. He referred to the pension to the Prince Mecklen burg Strelitz, the father of the prince about to be mar ried to the Princess Augusta. That pension was granted on the ground that he was the nephew of the Queen of England, and as the money was borrowed by the country at £5 per cent., the pension had already cost the country £335,000 at compound interest. Wirere were these things to end—where was the line to be drawn—or was the country thus to be called upon to pension every branch of the royal family, however remote? According to calculations he had made, assuming that her royal highness should live forty- • five years longer, this pension of £3,000 per snnum would cost the country no less than £500,000. If her Majesty was told that this grant might entail such a charge upon the public, he was convinced she would never sanction it ; and the ministers, therefore, were the parties to blame for not stating the case fairly to her Majesty. The hon. member several times complained of interruption, and at length said lie would name the parties causing the interruption. There was a party growing up in that house which called itself " Young England," and though he might be running counter to the feelings of Young England, he would still persevere in stating his opinions. The payments to the royal family exceeded £700,000 per annum, exclusive of parks, palaces, &c., and this while the country was in almost a state of bankruptcy, for it was unable to meet its engagements with out borrowing. The hon. member concluded by moving "That it is the opinion of this committee that the ample allowance granted for a lengthened period to his Royal High ness the Duke of Cambridge should have enabled him to make provision for his children ; and that it was neither wise nor just, in the present state of distress of the manufacturing and labouring classes of the community, to propose any dowry for her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta of Cambridge." Sir R. INGLIS contended that the crown had lost 47 millions, which sum the people had gained by the bargain which it had made with the crown for the surrender of the crown lauds. Having thus lost the means of making such grants as the one before the house, the crown had a right to call upon the parliament to enable it to do so. Mr. F. BARING did not think the bargain a had one for the crown. but he did not think that that had anything to do with the question. He was of opinion that as the crown had given up its means of making provisions such as the present, it was but reasonable that parliament should be called upon to do so. This grant was no extension of the line to which former grants applied, and he thought it vas not un reasonable that parliament should be called upon to do so. This grant was no extension of the line to which former grants applied, and he thought it was not unreasonable to give £3OOO per annum to the granddaughter of a king. li e thought, however, that the grant should not come into ape_ ration until after the cessation of the pension of the Duke o f Mecklenberg Strelitz. Sir ROBERT PEEL said it was the wish of the Government to make to the house such a proposition as would be deemed reasonable by every honourable member. There could be no doubt but that the ihcome of the Duke of Cambridge was a large one, but then the demands upon it for charitable pur poses were also very large; and it was for the interests of the public that means should be given to enable royal prin ces to promote by their example the numerous charitable in stitutions with which this country abounded. The line was not in this case extended, and the house, therefore, in agreeing to this proposition would not be establishing a new precedent. In deed in the case of the Princess Sophia of Gloucester the grunt was £7,000 a year, while, in the present case, which was not so remote in blood, the grant proposed was only £3,000 a-year. With respect to what bud fallen from Mr. El ume as to the blame attributable to Ministers for not informing her Ma jesty that this pension might be equivalent to tli sum of £500,000, he must say that if he had done so he feared her Majesty would not have credited the statement—(much laughter)—even on the high arithmetical authority of the hon. gentleman. (Increased laughter.) Mr. livmE replied ; and on a division the motion of the hon. member was defeated by a majority of 223 to 57. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the house adjourned. We beliere it is quite true that the Vice-Presidentship of the Board of Trade, vacant by the promotion of Mr. Glad. stone, was offered to Mr. Hogg, M.P. for Beverley, an East India director, and chairman of the late Nottingham Election Committee which unseated Mr. Walter, sen. Mr. Hogg declined the office, and Lord Dalhousie, who married a daughter of the Marquis of Tweeddale, and sister of the Marchioness of Douro, was appointed to the vacancy.— Argus. rth4 Tiort4 Frotioid rietttoti, who h 414Prd. prtaco a aunt AF ropnay to be yoarly diet books for the most deserving—h Ave come forward in aid of the objects of the Institution ; and we may also refer to the very praiseworthy efforts made by the mas ters in the distribution of books to their most deserving scholars. In addition, we are compelled to notice, as amongst the most pleasing of the features attendant upon these examinations, the most expressive and pa ternal manner in which their results were conveyed to the different you ng gentlemen by our worthy senio Rector. The advice, as to their future life and the commendation bestowed upon the past, will, we trust, be remembered as tenaciously as it was faithfully and sincerely tendered. We cannot conclude these few remarks without ex pressing our sense of the able manner, and spirit: and zeal, with which the affairs of the Collegiate Institution are conducted. And at the same time we must appeal to the leading conservative ladies and gentry of - our town to co-operate with them more heartily than they have done hitherto. In particular, we refer to the lec tures which have been given. These have been, thus far, of a very superior character for talent and interest. They have been presented with every aid to the com fort and convenience of the audiences. And yet, on more than one occasion, we regret to have observed a somewhat slender attendance of those classes whose presence would most conduce to the welfare of the In stitution. 'We hope this will not continue to occur, as by that means the sterling value of the lectures—their talent—must for the future be very sensibly deteriorated. We may remark that the attendance of the pupils and members has on all occasions been excellent; and, for their sakes, we hope that nothing will intervene to lesson the value of a boon which is sought after with such avidity. We have this day the painful task of recording ano ther of those disastrous conflagrations, which have of late conferred so injurious a notoriety upon our town, Another extensive and valuable property, affording employment to a considerable number of our indus trious population, has fallen a sacrifice ; and there is too much reason to suspect that the calamity is attri butable, alone, to the act of an incendiary. A. refer ence to our report, elsewhere, will afford evidence, little short of conclusive, that no mere carelessness— no spontaneous combustion—no accident of predis posing causes—has occasioned the destruction of the premises of the Messrs. Crofts. The buildings them selves were of the most perfect construction. Their management was of the most careful description. They were safe up to the last moment at which they could be examined by the servants of their owners ; and, most striking fact of all, the locality, in which combustion appears to have commenced, was one en tirely removed from any reasonable probability of acci dental ignition. Coupling these facts with the very strong suspicion which has attached to the origin of the recent fires at the Duke of Bridgewater's warehouses, and indeed of other recent fires in Liverpool, it cannot but strike any reflecting man that it is time, and full time, that a searching examination should be entered upon, and resolutely followed up, for the purpose of arriving, if possible, at the sources of destruction of property so deplorable—destruction, too, so injurious to the welfare of the town itself. Incendiarism the most wicked and deliberate can scarcely be denied to exist. It is almost weekly occasioning the sacrifice of valuable property — not that only which the devouring element consumes, but of the very reputation of the - port, as one safe for the warehousing within its limits of produce of any description. We have been told of loose management. Vie have been amused with accounts of the almost maniacal. practices of warehouse owners and ware housemen, porters, and others, employed in this de partment of our trade. These, however, can have nothing to do with the existence of incendiarism. The case before us is not that of a warehouse at all ! And we must, therefore, cast our eye much beyond such mere paltering—and spiteful paltering it is—with the question at issue, and endeavour to reach, what is the only material subject for inquiry, the cause and the in struments of this demoniacal crime. Wherever we have hitherto traced the career of the incendiary, we have ever found hits some moody, sullen maniac, or some brutalised and senseless being, worked up to the commission of his deeds of destruc tion by private injury, or fancied injury, or by some political delusion. The outrages of Ribbonism, or Whiteboyism, in Ireland, are distinctly traceable to a distinct cause. We can conceive readily the inducing motives of a " Swing." We can as readily conceive the motives which have induced the turn-out workmen in our manufacturing districts to burn the very factories in which they were earning their bread. But where have we the same ground of reasoning to go upon in the cases before us, and in many recent cases which have occurred in Liverpool ? How can we trace to any of these inducements or ptilses the cases of the Duke's 'Warehouses or Messrs. Crofts' Soapery ? We have no evidence, and none, we believe, exist, that there is any misunderstanding be tween either of these parties and their workmen. Passion, then, or misguided conviction with respect to the character of the act, can have had no portion in inducing the crime; and here appears to be the diffi culty of attaining even a guess at the persons or de gree of the perpetrators. We must go, therefore, beyond this beaten track of investigation ; and humiliating to human nature it is to have to do so ! We must ask are there no classes in this country, and in this town, sufficiently debased to rush upon even the crime of incendiarism, for the profit, for the additional employment, which the oc currence of calamity affords ? And, more than this, are there not employed in some departments of our multifarious industry, men so bitterly hostile to every thing which bears the name, or upholds the strength, of England—so fatally in the power of secret treason, lurking in the very heart of our large towns—that they would scarcely pause at the precipitation of a calamity however certain to be widely spread, to ask themselves any more than the question whether or not they could do so with impunity ! We feel imperatively called upon to throw out these few hints, for the consideration of our local magistracy, who will no doubt be induced by this new instance of the spread of incendiary crime amongst us, to use in creased activity and vigilance for the detection of the perpetrators. We would not for a moment fasten a stigma such as this upon any class of our fellow -towns men, or fellow -countrymen. But when we look at the miserably ignorant, and degraded, and, we may add, fuelled and inflamed men, who are to he found occu pying, in this great town, departments of labour which bring them into the position to do the very mischief which is going on around us, we may surely ask, is that proper precaution used in that selection, which is consistent with the magnitude of the power to injure placed in their hands ? At.tbe next council meeting Mr. Parker intends to bring forward a motion for rescinding a resolution re cently adopted for the erection of the new gaol on the site of Wavertree Hall. As a general principle we are opposed to the re-opening of questions which have been discussed, and upon which a vote has been taken ; but there may be, and sometimes are, occasions when it is advisable no; to adhere too closely to such a rule, and as there is a strong feeling out of doors against the appropriation of this land for the intended build ing, grounded upon several forcible reasons which we need not enumerate, an opportunity will he afforded to those who are desirous of carrying out the resolutio of the council, of answering the various arguments which will he brought forward against carrying it into effect. Of course we are bound to defer to the strongly expressed opinions of the scientific men who have been consulted, that the situation can be thorougly drained ; but it is confidently affirmed that sufficient cannot be accomplished in this way to secure the health of the inmates. We publish in another column a full report of the speech of Sir Howard Douglas in the House of Com mons on the 15th May last, as we find it in Hansard's Reports. We are induced to do this, as affording our gallant representative an opportunity of explaining fully his reasons for recording the vote against which exception has been taken by the Anti-Monopoly Asso ciation of this town, and which that factious and med dling body has so modestly " denounced." Of course we do not expect that the arguments of Sir Howard, plain and unanswerable as they are, will carry convic- tion to thi rn4n44 of man t)!!nd y coneAt end posing that body; but those busy-bodies form , a mare fraction of the community to whom we are desirous that our zealous and talented member should have an opportunity of addressing himself.

CHARGE OF ASSAULT AGAINST A SCHOOLMASTEI;i Evan Claytor, a schoolmaster at Liscard was charged, at the petty sessions there, with cruelly beating one of his pu- - pils, a little boy, son of Mr. Leicester, butcher, at Seacombe. From the statement of Mr. Ellis, surgeon, and the appear ance of the boy, it appeared that he had been very severely beaten with a cane, and had had a narrow escape of being lamed for life. The magistrates, after expressing their opi nion that the conviction of the defendant would materially the defendant in his profession, and therefore it was cessary to inflict a heavy penalty, ordered him to pay of 10s., the expenses of the medical attendant 155., and the costs of the case. injure not ne a fine THE WEATHER.—The weather has now undergone a most beneficial change, and we entertain the hope that it is at length decidedly settled.

TUTION ADDAMS'S LECTURES AT THE COLLEGIATE INSTI r.—On Tuesday evening, Mr. Addams delivered, at the theatre of the institution, the concluding lecture of his series of seven, on voltaic and pagnetic electricity, before a highly-gratified audience, amongst which were many ladies. He commenced by stating, that he had now to submit an interesting portion of his subject, namely, Thermo-magnetic Electricity, which implied that heat had an influence in pro- clueing electric currents; and thence he would deduce the fact that currents of electricity must be passing over the earth itself from east to west—the sun being a primary cause, and the motion of the earth another—and these currents acted upon the needle as we found them. The magnetism of a bar of steel was effectually destroyed by submittina it to a red heat, as in that state it lost its power of maintaining the order of electric currents, and this alone proved that heat prevailed over electricity. 11 . 1 r. Barlow and others had com pared the influence of heat upon the magnetic condition of various kinds of iron, and found this fact. The magnetic influence of cold cast iron, and cold carburretted or malleable iron, was very different. Cold beaten iron -possessed 30° of magnetic power, and cast iron only 21°. A cold bar of the former attracted the needle 40° out of its bearing, and a cast iron one only 21° ; when heated to a white temperature they had no effect, but when at that heat called by smiths " a red heat," cast iron had a power of 62° and malleable of 45°. When the bars were about to melt they had no power over the magnetic needle, however near it was placed, but as they began to cool magnetism became evident, and its power was at its maximum when the iron had cooled to a blood-red heat, scarcely visible by daylight. To show the influence of heat in directing electricity in metals, be produced a small quadrangle or square, resembling a picture-frame, two of the opposite sides of which were of bismuth and the two others of antimony, mitred together and soldered at the corners. The electricity in either metal had no particular three tion.• But by heating one of the metals at one of the corners or joints, and leaving the rest in a cold state, the electricity began to circulate. Ile placed a small and delicate magnetic needle within the frame, and applying the flame of a small lamp under one of the joints, the electric current passed from the bismuth into the copper, and moved the needle round in one direction : but when he heated the opposite corner (of the other metal) the effect was reversed, and it turned in the opposite direction. So long: as the tempreature of the joint was greater than the rest of the metal, there would be a current of electricity. When the frame contained a number of elements the power would be increased, but there was a limit to this, for if they were in creased in proportionate size to the frame, nothing was gained. The same effect was shown by a great number of metals, and tables of them, in the order in which they stood as conductors of electricity (as we understood him), had been arranged. He called attention to these, the first of which was in the following order:—bismuth, platinum, tin, lead, brass, copper, zinc, iron, antimony. Electricity set out from the -bismuth down. The copperrewas liera the recipient from the bismoth, and the deliverer of it back. tie then showed a very beautiful thertuo-electric'experiment, by means of -a very small but sensitive instrument, which, on being but breathed upon at one end, had, through two pieces of copper wire, so great an effect upon a fine magnetic needle within a glass case that it drew ithr a different direc tion, and when slightly heated in a like manner at the other end produced a reverse motion. By thus beating a piece of metal more in one place than another a sort of telegraph could be made, or it might be indicated how the temperature was going on in a stove-house, or in a furnace. This thermo electric machine, consisting of alternate little bars of bismuth and antimony, each 12 inches long, and nth of an inch square, the one metal communicating with the other at the ends by copper wires. After showing some further experiments, he explained voltaic electric induction, or the effects of currents of electricity coming against each other. Metals had an electric effect if moved to and fro, or in any direction. He showed- that by putting a small plate of zinc and another of copper into acid and water, and applying them to a fine magnet, the direction of the electric current could be ascertained. One pleasing experiment was shown by a vertical copper wheel with a magnet placed on each side, but not touching it. If the wheel be placed with its axis east and west, and turned round, the earth's magnetism will act upon it, and occasion currents of electricity to run from the circumferences into the axis, and vice versa according as it is rotated, one way or the other, as was manifested by the galvanotneter. This was an import ant experiment, for the wheel being of matter not ordinarily magnetized it might be considered an epitome of the rotation of the earth itself. By turning it as the earth tut ns the elec tricity came out of its equator, and entered its poles. By moving it in the contrary direction, that is from east to west, the electricity would come out of the axis of the wheel and enter the equator. Here the current of electricity was very great in quantity, as he would show by another similar appa ratus, used in a different mode. He took a circular copper plate, placed on a vertical axis, and which might be turned round by a wheel connected with it. All iron was avoided in its construction. He suspended a bar of iron about an inch over the wheel, by a thread and a little stirrup- of paper, and the wheel being rapidly turned the magnet also turned round rapidly, in either direction, though not touching it; but a bar of iron, not magnetized, placed in the same position, re mained quiescent, however quickly the wheel was turned. He next showed a magnet revolving on its own axis, and afterwards the extraordinary, but only momentary, electric effect of suddenly thrusting a bar magnet into a wooden cylin der, wrapped round with a coil of copper wire, and communi cating by wires with a fine needle. The instant it was put in with the poles in one direction the needle moved round, and when put in on the other it moved in the opposite direction. This rtpppeared to be caused by an instantaneous wave or shock, which as instantly died away. The lecturer then showed some beautiful experiments with a magneto-electric machine, working with a wheel, the construction and action of which he fully explained. It was, however, too complex (in large magnets, &c.) to be described here. By this a con tinuity of electric sparks was kept up, similar, to those pro duced by an electrical machine, and capable of giving electric shocks, sufficiently powerful even for those of rather strong nerves. By this he ignited paper dipped in spirits of wine, and other combustibles, and also warmed wire to a visibly red heat. It showed, too, the influence, by means of coils of wire one within the other, of one current of electri city upon another, and the wonderful effect (demonstrated by the sparks) of making and breaking their conduction. He also decomposed water by the apparatus. Towards the close he adverted to the various sources from which we might ad duce the magnetism of the earth and its motion, one-half heated at a time, and the other not ; the minor influence of light upon it; its stratification and components of rocks, granite, slate, and the water lodged in its cavities,- operating as plates of a voltaic pile, and so producing electricity. it was be sides to be observed that the veins of 'Metal found in this country run from east to west, and that was the direction in which the currents of electricity themselves went round the globe. These things would have a tendency to move the earth on its axis, and there was reason therefore to believe that electricity was one of those mighty agencies, fundamen tally beyond- human comprehension, by which the Divine Architect regulated the revolving world of matter, the motion of which being made upon its axis could be perpetuated even though it had to pass through a resisting medium. He had now brought the subject to a close, and included every in) . portant illustration available within the limits of these lec tures, and thereby redeemed the promise he had made in the outset. He cordially thanked his auditors for the marked attention with which they had listened to his instructions, and the kind feelin g man if es t e d throughout amongst g them., And he could not re ti re w ith out expressing thegreat plea sure be bad felt i n a dd ress i ng so h i ghly respectable a body in that magnifice n t i ns ti tu ti on, an d the gratification he should feel, if they, on a future occasion, required his services in ex plaining that branch of science to which he had addressed ethxepehroimuseenatst,tahretdciwoeses. respeeavteertalllylacdlireeseraenddfrgoennitiaelali himself.—lle w as l ou dl y app l au d ed in his several interesting wards " partook" of shocks from the magneto-electric tfsmt of ma chine, the varied effect of which upon their nerves was pro ductive of considerable amusement. We cannot take leave of Mr. Addams on this occas i on w i t h out tendering him 'e gour humble meed of praise, for th e general clearness of his ex planations, and the beauty of his experiments, accomplished by a large quantity of costly and superior apparatus. In en deavouring to give even a sketch of each lecture, we have laboured under some difficulties, and may p oss ibl y have fallen into some slight mistakes—first, from our own inade quate acquaintance with' this peculiar and extraordinary sci ence ; and secondly, from the impo ss ibili ty of hearing dis tincty all that the lecturer stated, owing to the reverbera tion of the voice in the theatre, which, though well atteuded, is of such capacity for an audience that it was on no one occa sion sufficiently fitted to counteract this, if we may so call it, defect. We have also been necessited to pass Over many ex periments from not being provided with diagrams. We know, however, of no more rational. mode of speeding an agreeable hour or two than in attending to such expositions and illustrations, which blend solid information with amuse. ment, and shall be glad when in the general routine of sub jects, Mr. Addams is again invited to appear amongst us, assured as we feel that he will avail himself of all the novel ties and improvement's iu the science which may in the inban while be developed. ti.necohrni ei,e:. . , . • „ iiiislif 1 _ CINVICTION 'ollolert Txr , tosooro Avr,--•-,--jsis It P4g,Polioe•oourt, a young roan oho mune out al M o d Lelt,waaV , after !serving three months for bacilli °; 1 010 mfirmity on enlisting, was again committed for the period, for having enlisted on Monday at Warrington, CAUTION TO M ARINE-STORE MIALE j f as. --On Vie.denes t: he C d w ß e a r u s?
