The noble the first reading of the Select Vest The Marquis of Cirri: day next he would pat a tention of introducing a especially as refers to ti country. The LORD CHANCELLOR then gracious speech as follows : " My Lords and Gentlemen, " I cannot mee making a public mighty God on acc an event which has co happiness, and :has affectionate attachm faithful and loyal pc " I am coat tion which d from t Ally tl7 A, pro forrnn .ice that on Mon- s to their in- nters in that ajesty's most you in parliament assembled without knowledgment of my gratitude to Al int of the birth of the Prince my son— feted the measure of my domestic Pith every demonstration of government by m ,rticipate in ti: atisfac- n this country .ing of Prussia, who at rson the office of sponsor at the of my good Brother and my request undertook in christening of the Prince I receive from Russia, a treaty of the French I have been exchanged, will be commu re laid before you a treaty which I have rue powers, together with the _Sultan, Turkish empire, and the maintenance of the general tranquillity. • " The restoration of my diplomatic and friendly inter course with the court of Teheran has been followed by the completion of a commercial treaty with the King of Persia, which I have directed to be laid before you. .. . " I am engaged in negotiations with several powers, which, I trust, by leading to conventions founded on the just prin ciple of mutual advantage, may extend to the trade and com merce of the country. V I regret that I am not able to announce to you the re e4tablishment of peaceful relations with the government of China. _ " The uniform success which has attended the hostile ope rations directed against that Power ; and my confidence i❑ the skill and gallantry of my Naval and Military Forces, encourage the hope on my part that our differences with the Government of China will be brought to an early termina tion, and our commercial relations with that country placed on a satisfactory basis. " Gentlemen of the House of Commons, " The estimates t'or the year have been prepared, and will be laid before you. _ I rely, with entire confidence, on your disposition, while you enforce the principles of a wise economy, to make that provision for the service of the country which the public ex- igencies require " My Lords and Gentlemen, '' I recommend to your immediate attention the state of the Finances and of the Expenditure of the country. _ "You will have seen with regret that, for several years past, the. annual Income has been inadequate to bear the public charges ; and I feel confident that, fully sensible of the evil which must result from a continued deficiency of this nature during peace, you will carefully consider the best means of averting it. " I recommend also to your consideration the state of the laws which affect the importation of corn and other articles, the produce of foreign countries. " Measures will be submitted to your consideration for the amendment of Law of Bankruptcy, and for the improvement of the jurisdiction exercised by the Ecclesiastical Courts in England and Wales. " It will also be desirable that you should consider, with a view to their amelioration, the laws which regulate the regi stration of electors of members to serve in Parliam " I have observed with deep regret the continue in the manufacturing districts of the country. The suffering! and privations which have resulted from it have been horns with exemplary patience and fortitud 31 distress " I feel assured that your deliberations on the various im portant matters which will occupy your attention, will be directed by a comprehensive regard for the interests and permanent welfare of all classes of my subjects, and I fer vently pray that they may tend in their result to improve the national resources, and to encourage the industry and pro mote the happiness of my people!' At the conclusion of the Speech her Majesty withdrew from the House, and retired amidst the cheers of the as sembled thousands to Buckingham Place. The Marquis of ABERCORN, the mover of the Address, then rose and said that he in a peculiar degree begged the indulgence of their lordships ; he was fully sensible of the responsibility of the position in which he stood, and espe cially as the present was the first time be had ever had the honour of addressing their lordships. The birth of a Prince of Wales was, he was sure, a case of unbounded joy through out these realms. The presence likewise of her Majesty's ally, the King of Prussia, at the ceremony of the christen ing of the Prince of Wales was the cause of much congra tulation ; indeed he felt assured that in no period of our country's history was a Prince of Wales born under such auspicious circumstances. The noble marquis then seriatim went over the various points of the speech from the Throne, observing that there was much ground for soon expecting an extension of our trade and commerce with all parts of the world. (Cheers.) The Earl of DALUOUSIE, who gave utterance to a glowing panegyric of the virtues of her majesty and her illustrious consort, said. he was confident their lordships must hail with delight the birth of a Prince of Wales sprung from such pa rents. (Cheers.) The presence of the King of Prussia, who had travelled far to act as sponsor to the young prince, was also a subject of gratulation. One greater still, however, was the conclusion of a treaty between the great powers of Europe, for the purpose of repressing the slave trade, which England had made such efforts to destroy. (Hear, hear.) After shortly alluding to the other topics in the speech. the noble lord concluded by seconding the address. Viscount MELBOURNE said, he concurred, not only in the speech from the throne, and in the address, but also in what had fallen from the noble mover and seconder. He must congratulate her majesty's ministers upon the comfortable view they took of public affairs, as compared with that which they took on the 24th of last August. It was impossible for him not to feel proud that a more intimate 'knowledge of the affairs of the country should have altered their views, and that noble lords on the other side. and more particularly his noble friend the President of the Board of Trade, should not be now so depressed as formerly—that in fact he should now perceive less cause for gloom in every part of the globe. He was glad noble lords opposite had found their situations more comfortable than they had anticipated, and that they were not so surrounded with insurmountable difficulties as they had formerly imagined. The noble viscount then alluded to the corn laws, and expressed his conviction that the sliding scale could not be retained. lie hoped that noble lords on the other side would not be afraid of changing their opinions, or of founding measures upon such changes of opinion if con vinced of the propriety of so doing. With respect to the dis tress of the country, it was idle t:.) suppose that the distress of the various branches of manufacturing labour could be re medied by any interference in the shape of legislation. As fashion changed the demand fluctuated, and as a consequence particular kinds of manufacture were depressed or enlivened. This kind of distress could not be mitigated by great organic changes, to which he was strongly opposed, for if distress was to be considered a cause for such great changes, there would be a dangerous instability in all the institutions of the coun try. The Earl of RIPON said that the present Government need have no apprehension about changing their opinions, for they had always before them the brilliant example of their predecessors in that particular. (Hear, hear.) He denied the inferences which th e no bl e v i scoun t h a d d rawn f rom his speech of the 24th of August, in which, as regarded the war with China, he had only said that we were at war with a people who would not fight, and as long as they continued the retreating system, it was difficult to see the termination of the struggle. With respect to Persia, he had expressed a hope that our diplomatic arrangements with that country would be resumed, and they had since been resumed. He had never held out hopes that legislative interference could remedy the distress of the country when that distress pro ceeded from a paucity of demand for our manufactures, and he never would be a party to any such delusion. Lord BEAUMONT was of opinion that the sliding scale was the only security which the country could have against the fluctuations in the price of corn, and thought a fixed duty would have all the evils attendant upon the sliding scale. Lord BROUGHAM said the distress was lamentable; but believed it to be inevitable. His lordship ads erted to the case of the Creole, and said it was impossible that any rup- tore with the United States could arise out of that affair. The only treaty by which England or America could claim refugees, either from the other, related exclusively to mur derers, forgers, and fraudulent bankrupts ; and even that treaty bad expired. There was no international law by which they could claim, or we give up, the parties who had taken possession of the Creole; and those persons must stand or fall by our laws only. Earl FITZWILLIAM entered into a lengthened disquisition on the corn laws, and in allusion to the secession of the Duke of Buckingham from the Cabinet, said he hoped that his re tirement was entirely upon principle as connected with the • • corn law question. The Duke of WELLINGTON declined to enter into any dis cussion of the corn law question at that time, contenting himself with the declaration that when the measure of the Government should be brought forward, it would be fdund that they were acting as consistent wen, anxious only for the welfare of the country. The Duke of BUCKINGHAM was quite willing to the curiosity of the noble earl. His opinions in refer the corn laws had always remained unchanged and un While he held office he had never differed from his late col leagues on any subject but this ; and whenever the details of the proposed measure should come before their lordships he would give to the whole measure his honest opposition. With reference to the other measures to be proposed by the Go vernment he would give his honest and steadfast support to their policy. The address was then agreed to. o n the motion of Lord WHAuNctavvE an address of con gratulation to Prince Albert on the birth of a Prince of W a l e s was agreed to. • Their lordships t hen adjourned. mice to altered. SOUSE OF COMMONS.—TnuttanAy. Newwrits were moved for Leominster Bandon, Dublin University, King The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER gave notice that, t h e present month,_ he would call the attention On the 15th of S . • t give notice is ' of the house to the subject s of the late exchequer-bill frat cl 1 1 , o will move that this house resolve itself into a nesday next, I committee o f e t h e whole house for the purpose of conside r i ng the laws relating to f oreign corn. (Hear, hear, and lo ud cheers.) Sir, I would have have taken an earli er d ay f or this purpose were it not t hat th ere are some paper s w hi c h t h e house ought to be in possessiasisocnosfi,onanudpcoonnstihdiesr important maturely, before entering inlo any d question. I believe I shall no t interfere with the right of any gentleman who may entitled to Wednesday for other business; but I trust that those those honourable gentlemen who might insist on their right to have right, and give an that day met for consider ation of oth er ma tt ers will waive that opportunity to her Majesty's governme nt to submit to the house thei r v i ews on t hi s most questi on. impor-- htn - t (Cheers.) The Earl o f M ARCH rose to move an Ad dress p tiovihneer Ma- jesty in ans wer to h er most grac i ous Speec h • Pro vidence had favoured the nation with !an heir to the .that British Throne in the bi rt h of the Prince O f Wales ; and, i f v blessing could be i ncreased, it had been so b y a m ighty , e , reign—a Sovereign of true Protestant principles, having at tended at the christeni ng as sponsor to the i n f an t o f our be loved Queen. With respect to the war in China, he regretted that it was not settled, but the honour of the British nation could not be compromised. (Cheers.) With respect to the army and navy, he thought not 'much reduction could be made ; this country ought alway s to be prepared to meet foreign enemies. [Hear, hear.) The legislature ought to meet the difficulties of the country in a manful and bold manner, by proposing new taxes. (Loud cries of hear, hear.) With respect to the corn laws, he had much pleasure in knowing that beneficial changes would be made by an admi nistration who possessed the confidence of the country. (Hear.) He regretted that a proposition of gxeendiffideutt,,t, as Bs. per qr. should have been made by the late he could not support that. ' Mr. BucticErr seconded the motion. He did not deny government would abolish 'or materially alter the poor-law. What then would be the principles of the government? Why, they would act on the sound policy which had been bequeathed to them by their predecessors. (Hear, hear.) With respect to the corn-laws he must object to a sliding scale, and he trusted the government would propose a mode rate fixed duty. When the right hon. baronet's measure came before the house he would, in the words of Lord Mel bourne, do that justice to the measure of the present govern ment which they, when in opposition, had not done to his Wit- respect to the excess of our expenditure over our in come, he thought it arose from temporary circumstances, and that we should try to meet it by a modification of our import duties before we resorted to the imposition of new taxes. Sir R. PEEL was glad that the noble lord agreed to the address which had been moved, and indeed the speech had been expressly framed to avoid provoking any collision of opinion. After slightly adverting to the state of our foreign relations, and the recent treaty with the court of Teheran. he referred to the United States, and said that a person had been sent out there to endeavour to terminate existing differ ences,iby means other than those which had been hitherto adopted. Such a termination would be for the interests of humanity and civilization, and it was felt that the person who went thither for that purpose should be a person of such con sideration as to have held a seat in her Majesty's councils. The ambassador who had gone had agreed to do so entirely from a sense of public duty, and considering his relations with the United States, and the respect attached to his name in that country, he was convinced that a more welcome mes senger could not be selected. With respect to the corn laws he had selected the earliest possible day for their dis cussion, and until then he thought it inadvisable to enter upon the subject. At the close of last session he had stated that, during the recess, the attention of the government should be directed to maturing such measures as they might deem it advisable to bring forward, and now they were fully prepared to redeem the pledge then given. (Cheers.) As soon as sufficient votes in supply had been taken to enable the government to state their views on financial matters, without detriment to the public service, they would at once do so, without waiting for the period at which it was usual to bring forward the budget. So far as regarded the conveni ence of the government they were ready at that moment to state their views ; but for reasons connected with the public interest they deemed it advisable to postpone them until after taking some votes in supply. (Cheers.) Alr. VtatußS soid he vr r o r dil take the sense of the house upon the principle of taxing food at all, at the earliest oppor tunity. Mr. ESCOTT said the agriculturists had sustained a severe loss in the retirement from the councils of the champion, the defender, and the friend of the farmer. They were not averse to any change in the system of protection they en. joyed, merely because it was a change ; but they were na turally anxious to know its extent, and he sincerely thanked the right hon. baronet for fixing such an early day to relieve them from their embarrassment on this head. The address was then agreed to, and the house shortly af terw•ards adjourned. -- ...:10.--- HOUSE OF LORDS-FRIDAY Lord MONTEAGLE gave notice that, on the lith instant, he would move the appointment of a select committee to in quire into the late forgeries of exchequer bills, and to report whether in the mode of preparing, making out, signing, and issuing exchequer bills, there had been any neglect or viola tion of the established usages of the Exchequer, which either produced or facilitated forgery or other fraud. . . . The Earl of LivEnpooi., a; lord steward of the household, intimated to their lordships that her Majesty had appointed one o'clock to-morrow (this day) to receive the address. — Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—FRIDAY. Mr. BROTMERTON gave notice that, on Thursday next, he would move that henceforth no opposed motion should be brought forward after twelve o'clock, unless there should be 100 members in the house. _ _ In reply to a question from Mr.O'Connell Sir R. PEEL said that the question which had arisen as to the illegality of marriages which had been celebrated by Presbyterian clergymen between Protestants and Presbyte rians had been under the consideration of the government, and it was felt that an immediate remedy was requisite for the immediate evil. A permanent law respecting such marriages would require much consideration ; and it was resolved, therefore, to bring in a bill immediately to legalise such mar riages as had hitherto taken place; and at as early a period as possible afterwards, a bill respecting such marriages in fu ture. Mr. CURTIS gave notice that on Thursday next he should put a question to the Secretary to the Admiralty relative to the case of Mr. Elton, a midshipman, who had been recently tried by court-martial. If the answer should not be satisfac tory he should then move an address to her majesty, praying that she would be graciously pleased to re.giit the sentence passed on Mr. Elton. In reply to a question from Sir John Eastbope, Sir R. PEEL said it was not in the contemplation of the Government to bring in a bill relating to church-rates. Mr. DUNCOMBE asked if it was the intention of the right hon. baronet to bring in a bill to put an end to the whole sale system of bribery to which he believed Ti vast majority of that house owed their seats. (A laugh.) He had inquired of the noble lord (Lord .1. Russell) if he intended to renew his bill of last session on the subject, and understanding that it was not his intention to do so, he wished to ascertain it it was taken up by the Government. Sir R. PEEL said he was surprised to hear that the noble lord had abandoned his bill. It was not the intention of the Government to take this matter up at present. Indeed he felt strongly that, while such important commercial and financial subjects had to be discussed, it would not be well to distract the attention of parliament by bringing less import ant matters under its consideration. (Hear, hear.) The Right Hon. BARONET then said, in reply to a ques tion from Lord John Russell, that he would fully state his proposition respecting the corn-laws on Wednesday next, on which day, as far as he himself was concerned, he was fully prepared to enter upon the discussion ; this, however, might be very inconvenient to others, and if it would better suit the convenience of the members, he would fix the discussion for the Friday or Monday ensuing. It was arranged that the discus - sion should take place on the Monday. _ _ _ When Lord MARCH brought up the report on the address, Mr. O'Connell took occasion to express his alarm at the allusion in the speech to a new system of registration for Ire land, but in all other respects he concurred in the address. The learned gentleman wore his chain of office as Lord Mayor of Dublin. On the motion of Sir I. PE EL a motion of congratulation to Prince Albert on the birth of a Prince of Wales was agreed to. Lord STAN LEY then moved for leave to bring in two bills, one to amend the act 5 and 6 William IV. for regulating the carriage of passengers in merchant vessels, the other for re gulating the survey and sales of land belonging to the Crown in the Australian colonies and New Zealand. The noble lord said that although there was no colour for the reports which had been in circulation as to its being the intention of the Government to propose an extensive system of emigra tion, yet he had felt it to be his duty to direct his attention to two points respecting emigrants—one to make provision for the security of poorer emigrants against the frauds con stantly practised upon them, the other to remedy the incon venience to capitalist emigrants arising from the constant fluctuation of the system of the sale of lands. The noble lord then entered into various details to show the growing im portance of these colonies, and the increase of voluntary emi gration to them; from which it appeared that the number of emigrants in 1838 was from 75,000 to 80,000, while in the first three (porters of 1811 the number reached 106460. To force emigration beyond this point, he thought would be im politic, and he thought it would be only advisable to adopt measures to protect the poorer class of emigrants. He should propose some alterations in the existing law, to the extent of providing a larger space for passengers in vessels going to tropical seas, and a larger quantity of water and of provisions than such vessels were now compelled to provide. With re spect to the sale of lands, he confined his bill to the Austra lian colonies, because there the Government had a freer com mand over the land fund than they had in others. Hereto fore the systems under which lands were.sold varied from year to year, which gave rise to great disapp9intments to persons who went out under one set of regulations and found another in operation on their arrival. He proposed to apply the same system to the whole of the Australian colonies by act of Parliament. He proposed that a certain quantity of land should be submitted to auction every six months at an upset price, below which none should be sold; if any remained unsold, it might be sold at the upset price at any time prior to the ensuing auction. The governor was to have a discretionary power of raising the upset price, but neither he nor ber Majesty in Council to have the power of lowering it; that could only be rliament. Many hon. gentlemen thought applicable to emigration, but done by act of I the land fund should be mac he could not go that length. It was requisite that a portion of it should be applied to defray the expense of surveying ; and the rights of humanity called for a further sum towards a provision of some kind fah the aborigines. He therefore proposed that one-half of the land fund should be devoted to the purposes of emigration, and as much more as the competent authorities might deem expedient, subject to cer tain specified conditions. He would not then enter into the details further, but had to•observe that the act was confined to the life time of her Majesty, for the present Sovereign had not the power of disposing of the property of her suc cessors. _ _ _ Lord J. RUSSELL was happy to be able to concur in all the general principles of the measures proposed. The fact that in such a short space of time 106,000 persons had vo luntarily emigrated to Australia, was a clear proof that an extensive system of emigration under the auspices of Govern ment was quite unnecessary. Mr. WARD concurred in the general principles of the measure, which recognised nearly all the principles laid down by the emigration committee. Mr. V. BMITII asked if the order in council, which ap peared in a recent Gazette, relative to the emigration of Hill Coolies to the Mauritius, was founded on any information beyond what was before the house last session ; and, if so, whether that information would be laid before the house. Mr. RoLnucx contended that th; colonies did not belong to her Majesty as property, but simply as part of her domi nions, and there was therefore no reason why the bill should be confined to the life of her present Majesty. He looked upon this bill as an additional clause to our poor law act, and thought that the jobbing which the noblelord was en deavouring to guard against by this bill might be better pro vided against by leaving the colonies to govern themselves. Sir G. (.ter suggested the necessity of extreme caution in fixing the minimum price, for it was too apt to be taken as the value of the land. M _r. S. O'BRIEN thought the bill ought to be extended to the Cape of Good Hope and New Brunswick, and indeed to all the colonies of Great Britain. Lord STANLEY said the governor of the Cape was of opi nion that the colony was not in a condition to receive a num ber of emigrants. With respect to the order in council, it was quite true that it was found inexpedient to continue the the prohibition to sending East India labourers to the Mau ritius, and it became requisite in doing away with the prohi bition to provide against the abuses whi c h f ormerly pre vat et . To allow such emigration to take place, V-- e con _urrent action of three bodies would be necessary ;—fi rs t, that of her Majesty by an order in council, then the vote of money by the colony of the Mauritius. and lastly the inter vention of the .Governor-General of India in council. Leave was then given to bring in the bills, and the house adjourned. The Queen has been pleased to present the Rev. W. Reid to the Church and Parish of Kettle, in the presbytery of Cupar and shire of Fife. By nine o'clock, the street became thronged throughout a great part of its length, and the numerous flags in the street, and banners, ribbons, &c., displayed from the windows, pre sented a gay appearance ; though doubtless the assem blage would have been much more numerous but for the piercing coldness of the weather. At about a quarter-past nine, Sir H. Douglas, accompanied by his son, Major Douglas, Sir. T. Brancker, and several other gentlemen, made their appearance, and ascended an open carriage in waiting for them, amidst the loud and re peated cheers of the assembled multitude, the nearest band playing " See the conquering hero comes !" In a few mi nutes, all being in readiness, the procession moved onwards from Leece-street, the carriage with the candidate and his friends being nearly in the middle of the line. It was pre ceded by a large, handsome flag, inscribed " Sandon and Douglas for ever!" followed by flags i and banners from Scotland Ward. Next came Jolliffe s band, playing ap propriate airs, and next gentlemen of the Conservative Cen tral Committee, and numerous friends of the gallant general. Voters of St. Paul's Ward followed, also accompanied by numerous flags and a band ; and next, in like manner, Ex change, Castle-street, St. Paul's, and other Wards, each pre senting a respectable, but not very numerous array. Then came Stubb's military band, in their handsome uniforms with brass helmets. immediately behind, amongst numerous other flags, was a small one bearing the arms and motto of Sir Howard, and, preceding the carriage, a large and splen did new silk flag painted at the establishment of Mr. Trout heck, Hanover-street, also emblazoned with the arms of the worthy baronet, surmounted by the crest— a boar under an oak tree—with the motto " Look Sicker," the whole .sur rounded by flags and warlike trophies. The carriage was drawn by four dapple greys, caparisoned in scarlet with blue, with postilions in corresponding uni forms. On each side, in front of the vehicle, was fixed a tree of evergreens, tipped with branches of red and blue ribbon. On the higher seat stood Sir H. Douglas, and on his right Sir Thos. Brancker. On the front seat sat Major Doug las, Samuel Holtne, and Nicholas Robinson, Esquiresi They were loudly and enthusiastically cheered at most of the houses throughout the whole route to the Exchange, by Bold-street, Church-street, the North Crescent, and Castle street, in all of which the flags and favours shown from win dows, balconies, and house-tops, and many of them waved by the hands of " ladies fair," gave ample and gratifying de monstration of their respect for the candidate, and their attachment to the redeeming principles of conservatism. Sir H. Douglas responded to these continuous tokens of attachment, by the most polite obeisance. Amongst the flags were several altogether new, with ap propriate mottos, besides most of the handsome ward flags. We noticed several inscribed "Douglas for Ever,"—"San don for Ever."—" Speed the Plough,. the Ship, and the Loom,"—" Church and Queen," surrounded by the Crown, —" Fair Trade ; Live and Let Live ; Good Wages and Eng lish Comfort." We also observed, with allusion to the new poor-law, " No Union Bastiles ; Those whom God hath joined let no man put asunder." And on some small flags were inscribed, " Plenty in the Land, and Loyalty in the People,"—" Scriptural Education," &c., &c. On passing establishments at which parties appeared with flags, &c., to welcome the candidate, those in the procession gave repeated cheers, whish were heartily returned ; and we are proud to record, that the office of our journal was espe cially honoured by loud acclamations of friendship and respect. _•... . . . . The usual formalities having been gone through by the mayor and town-clerk on the arrival of the candidate, they proceeded at once to the nomination. Sir THOMAS BRANCKER rose to .propose :Sir Howard Douglas as a fit and proper person to represent the borough of Liverpool in parliament. After a few remarks, which our reporter could not hear from the distance at which he was placed, Sir Thomas said that the gallant general. had just returned from one of the most important situations that could be given to him by government, and he had not only given the utmost satisfaction to his own govern- rneiit but all the sovereigns of Europe have felt satisfied with his conduct whilst administering the government to which he was placed. He was a firm supporter of the glorious constitution, a stern upholder of the crown, and a firm supporter of the just rights and liberties of the people. He would advocate those principles which supported all just reforms, but not those which desired reform for the sake of change. It was so very cold that he would not detain them longer, than just to propose Sir Howard Douglas as a fit and proper person to represent the borough. NICHOLAS ROBINSON, Esq. said it was not his intention to enter into details of the qualifications of Sir H. Douglas. He was satisfied that whenever he was called on he would discharge his duties with satisfaction, and devote his atten tion to the utmost of his power to the interests of this town, in conjunction with his noble colleague, Lord Sandon ; and after an absence of ten years, it was gratifying that he would be returned in sueh a triumphant manner. (Cheers:). The MAYOR asked if there were any other candidate to propose. No one appearing, The TOWN-CLERK declared Sir Howard Douglas duly elected Sir HOWARD DouGLAs Bart., M.P., next presented him self to the assembled crowd, by whom he was greeted with the most enthusiastic cheers. He said. Gentlemen,—hi the course of a rather long and difficult public career. I have al ways found till now that I could hold in subjection all my finer and more tender emotions, and that I could call up the " sterner stuff" of my composition to meet any difficulty, however arduous, and to engage in the exercise of any un dertaking to which I might be called. I have only to add my good friends, that if we bad been called upon to buckle on our armour for a contest, I should have felt so upon this occasion. (Cheers.) I most sincerely confess and lam not ashamed to conies.; it, that I do for the first time in my life feel overpowered at the stupendous and magnificent sight, and at the glorious manifestation of spirit that I see before me. I do so upon viewing them now at the moment. (Cheers.) Upon viewing conservatism here in a state of triumph, seeing po s itively what I see, all the emotions that are possible to swell a patriotic bosom are now within mine ; but when I con t ras t our p resen t movement with periods now gone by for ten and seven years, when I remember the scenes in which I have acted here, I attended then the defeated candidate, all the feelings of disappoint ment and mortification which I then felt, are washed, glo riously washed away by this triumph now. (Cheers.) If any personal feelings may mingle in those magnificent feel ings which actuate us all here, if an honest ambition may have found indulgence, th e n I will say that no public man, in any undertaking in the world, ever was embued with, ever felt sentiments more powerful, more gratifying to his personal feelings, and more so to his fondest ambition. (Continued cheers.) You have assisted me, with the triumph of conservatism here. Allow me to congratulate you most sincerely upon that triumph, allow me to congratulate you most sincerely upon the example that this good and loyal town of Liverpool has held out to the conservatives of Liverpool—upon the effect which that ex ample has produced upon the parliamentary representation, and I am glad to say on the municipal representation also. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, it affords me great and peculiar pleasure that we here " walk over the course." We ought to be very thankful for the tender mercies of certain persons, who in consideration of our morals and our pockets, forbear to oppose us ; but, gentlemen, I do not mean to taunt them with holding back,—(hear, hear,)—l do not mean to taunt them with our proud triumph. (Hear.) It is not the prac tise of the procession to which I have the honour to belong, to prow over a vanquished enemy, or to trample upon a fallen foe. (Hear, hear.) I consider, by the position in which I am placed, whatever the motive may have been, we have not here " divided the house ; "—hear, near.)—they had not gone to the poll. (Cheers.) I do consider myself therefore not the representative of a party, but the repre sentative of all the constituency of Liverpool. (Cheers.) And I will faithfully and impartially do all in my power to act in conformity with the position in which your favour, and their forbearance has placed me. (Loud cheers.) I feel convinced that it would be out of place to say one word more of those principles for which my friends have answered, and with which you appear to be satisfied. I shall lose no time in taking that high place which you have given me ; I hope to have it in my power to support the conservative administration to which the now elected House of Commons has given its confidence—(cheers)—to the conservative administration which has ever possessed the confidence of the other branch of parliament, and which is in possession of the confidence of the Sovereign. (Renewed cheering.) I shall do all I can to support—provided they 'carry out those principles that we have every reason to be lieve they will—an administration that has to perform the most difficult and important task of remedying all those monstrous evils which the whig-radical administration has brought upon this country.

IISFORTUNES AND FAILURES OF EXPEDI- T TO THE PRESENI TIN (From the Dublin Evening Of the undiscovered trac and countries which form the area of Interior Africa, though centuries have gone Arabs, Portuguese, and English have en to their circuits, yet it is astonish- by, and Romans deavoured to penetrate it Xll that %V ay be almost contained d priest of wick' given by the mallarn or lea the Sultan hello . , - who, when Clapperton asked him, an swered, that " of the great river, we know not its source, nor of any one who has seen it. It rushes and precipitates itself through - the country front left to right,..and contains many islan ds inhabited by fishermen, herdsmen, husband men, and settlers. As to the variety of its animals, birds, and fish', it is only knoWn to the Lord Creator." Among the more formidable difficulties in this country to travellers, there are none more alarming and insuperable than those arising from climate. Imminent dangers arising - from the presence of savage men or animals are of a tran sient nature, and capable Of being guarded against by vigi lance and strength ; but the secret and devastating operations of a pestilential climate are too subtle and deadly to permit in almost any shape of device for counteraction. The treachery of the tribes of Africa has done little towards de stroying travellers and explorers, compared with the destruc tive and exterminating influences of her noxious clime •, and it is almostsolely to this that the slow progress of African discovery is to be attributed. The banks of the Joliba, Quarra, or Niger, seem invisibly sentinelled by an ever-re pelling power. In the ensuing paper a -brief recapitulation of all former and modern attempts to discover the source of the Niger, and the misfortunes, failures, and partial successes that have attended upon the travels and investigations of inquirers, will show the absolute fatality attending in some shape or other all expeditions of a similar nature to what has just de spatched homeward its new addition to the catalogue of ca lamities which have already been its precursors. The first notice in history on this point appears in Here dotus, who states, in his " Geograhy of Africa, " that some young Nassamonians, a people who dwelt on ie borders of the Mediterranean, travelled in a westerly direction from Egypt until they came to a large river full of crocodiles, and, flowing towards the rising sun, and they were conducted by the natives to a considerable city situated ou the banks. The difficulty of determining the expression due west at this pe riod of time leaves the passage doubtful. Colonel Leake, however, in a recent letter read by him in the Geological So ciety, considers that they travelled along the Nigel-, and the city to which they were conducted was Timbuctoo. Strabo speaks little of the Niger, but Pliny largely ; he traces it through Mauritania, but falls into the error of He rodotus, who considers the Nile and Niger one river. Mela was the most reasonable geographer, and coincides as to the general opinion of the source of the Niger, but with proper candour acknowledges that no one knew what became of it at the centre of the continent. Ptolemy, whose account of the Niger is very vague, closes all that the ancients knew of it. From the Arabians some fuller accounts of the geography of the country are to be gleaned. Abulfeda and Adrisi knew it until it reached:the Atlantic Ocean, or " Sea of Darkness," and to distinguish it from the Nile, called it the" Nile of the Negroes." The maritime enterprise of the Portuguese led them early into the interior ; but though they obtained a considerable store of information respecting the Niger, they turned it to but little account. In their maps a remarkable circumstance is observable regarding the position of Tirnbuctoo. This city is placed so near the sea as to excite suspicion of its being the same as that on the Niger, and another place called Tamnou cane, on the Senegal, is mentioned as ans►vering their Tim buctoo. The source of the Niger, however, as well as it-course, re mained in obsuritv till English geography and travellers took the field. With treat Britian, a new era in the progress of African geography commenced, and in 1788 a number of wealthy and philanthropic individuals formed themselves into a society for the express purpose of promoting discovery in that country. Mr. John Ledyard was the first person despatched under the auspices of the " African Association" upon the mission : he had already been round the world with Captain Cook, and had undergone hardships and privations in a journey through Russia, which, as the exploits of a single traveller, stand un rivalled. In June, 1788, he departed and reached Cairo in the month of August following—when becoming impatient and vexed by the delay of the caravan with which he was to have travelled, his anxious mind sunk under disappointment, and death quickly terminated his career. His instructions were, to have penetrated into Africa by way of Egypt, and to traverse the continent in the latitude of the Niger. Mr. Lucas was the next who went to expliire the Niger. The journey of this traveller is remarkable for the additions he contributed to African geography, but he did not penetrate further than to the south of Mesurata, five days' journey from Tripoli. In his account of the Fezzan merchants, who crossed the Niger at a ferry two miles south of Cassena, may propably be discerned the ferry of Comie, below Boossa. Major Houghton, on the part of the African Association, next undertook the task. Travelling as tar as Jarra, he was plundered and deierted by the Moors who accompanied him, and he died, after several days' wandering, from hunger and exhaust!on. Mungo Park, in 1795, next took up this hazardous enter prise. The terrible sufferings that Park underwent are related in his own journal. In his first - journey he nearly fell a prey. Having encountered all the horrors of the rainy season, and being worn down with fatigue, his health had, at different tunes, been seriously affected. But soon after his arrival at Kamalia, he fell into a severe and dangerous fit 'of sickness, by which he was closely confined for upwards of a month. His life was preserved by the hospitality and be nevolence of Karfa Taura, a negro, who received him into his house, and attended him with the kindest solicitude. In Park's second expedition, arranged with the Secretary for Colonial Affairs, the plan was to send him with a detach ment of soldiers, and a few seamen and carpenters, to con struct vessels for the navigation of the Niger. With these thirty-five soldiers, their lieutenant, and the others, he ar rived at the wished-for point, ready to embark on the Niger, but the rains destroyed his men with a fatal rapidity. Ile lost the whole of his companions, except Lieutenant Martyn and three soldiers, of whom one was in a state of mental de rangement. The death of his friend and brother-in-law, Mr. Anderson, affected him m ost deeply. "No event," says he. "ever threw the smallest gloom over my mind, till I laid Mr. Anderson in the grave ; I then felt myself as it were left a second Lime lonely and friendless amidst the wilds of Africa." _ _ Of this melancholy affair, be writes to Lord Camden thus —"Your lordship will recollect that I always spoke of the rainy season with horror, as being extremely fatal to Euro peans; and our journey from the Gambia to the Niger will furnish a melancholy proof of it. We had no contest with the natives, nor were any of us killed by wild animals. or any other accident ; and yet, I am sorry to say, that of 44 Europeans who left the Gambia in perfect health, five only are at present alive." Dated Sandansiug, Nov. 17, 1805. . At this most trying moment, however, his habitual con stancy did not forsake him. Though about to embark on a vast and unknown river, through the midst of savage nations, 7nd a long succession of rapids and extracts, this voyage, one of the must formidable ever. attempted, was to be un dertaken by him in a crazy and ill -appointed vessel, which, principally by his own labour, he had constructed of two old patched and worn-out canoes, manned only by a few negroes and four Europeans. From Sandansing, Park embarked with the intention of 'descending the river to its mouth ; but, on reaching Boossa i was attacked by the natives and killed, after having previ ously suffered imprisonment more than three months. The strong determination of Park to persevere in his de sign of tracing the course of the river to its termination, is thus expressed in one of his letters from this place : " Though all the Europeans who are with me shall die, and though i myself were half-dead, I would still persevere ; and if I could not succeed in the object of my j ourney , I wou ld at last die in the Niger," H. Hornemann, a German traveller, was sent out by the association, but he contributed little to the.knowledge on the Nizer. At the same time, and by the same parties, another German, M. Roeutzen, set out, but he is supposed to have been murdered by his servant, a man of suspicious character. The next person who is supposed to have visited Timbuc too was an American seaman, named Adams, but his narra tive throws no additional light on the course of the Niger. In 1816 Captain Tuckey, of the Royal N av y, w ith an ex .... • - - pedition under his direction, was sent out to penetrate into Africa by the river Congou, and so to arrive at the Niger. The fate of this expedition was the counterpart of its follow ers ; 280 miles from the coast was the extent of its progress, and the question was as far as ever from being decided. At the same time, another party, consisting of 100 men, were placed under the direction cf Major Peddle, to reach the Niger by Park's route from the Gambia ; this party ascended the river Nunez, but were equally unfortunate with the Con gou expedition. Captain Clapperton's expedition was disastrous at its very outset. Himself, Captain Pearce, and Dr. Morrison, had the imprudence to sleep in the open air for two successive nights, on the swampy and unwholesome coast, by which they were all attacked with fever, and the two latter fell vic tims in the course of a fortnight, leaving Clapperton to pro ceed alone. Clapperton, accompanied by Lander, visited Boossa, the place of Park's death. He had imbibed a strong aversion to descending the Niger, and made no secret of it to Lander. His firm conviction was, that whoever attempted to go down this river would fall by the attacks of the natives. Clapperton crossed the river at Comiex, below Boossa, and arrived soon after at Socatoo. The successful progress of Clapperton through the interior thus far is well known ; but, sad to say, the first lesson that ought to have been taught him by his two friends was unite disregarded. lie lay in a damp spot in the open air, and his disease becoming nazi avated, he exclaimed, 'Richard, I feel myself dying." He then delivered his papers to Lander, with directions for his guidance, and shortly after died. M. Lacaille's safety; who, inspired by the premium pro posed by the French Society of Geography, has since pene trated to Timhuctoo, and thence to Morocco, appears to have been insured by his following the example of Hornetnann and Burckhardt, in assurhing the character of a Mahometan. Major Laing was another victim to these expeditions; and he met with a more tragical fate than any of his predecessors. The bigotry and rapacity of the Moors first put him in peril of his life. Laing was first surprises in the desert by a party of Tuaricks, who plundered him and left him for dead, hav ing inflicted twenty-four sabre wounds on him, from which he almost miraculously recovered. At Timbuctoo he found a kindly reception from the Sheik Boubokar, so long as he had power to protect him, but the fortune of war had thrown this city into the hands of another chief, to whom Boubokar was obliged to act viceroy, and who despatched him an order which compelled him to send off Major Laing as expelled from the country. The good old chief accordingly put Major Laing under the charge of Barbooski , an Arab chief, who undertook to condu c t him in safety as far as Arawan ; but that traitor on finding M a j o r Laing completely in his power , murdered him, and took possession of his property. The spirit of intolerance displayed by some of the African tribes is not, however, unrelieved by instances of genuine pity. Once, when Lander was lying at the foot of a tree, almost expiring with fatigue and thirst, he implored nume rous passengers for a drop of water, but they said to each other, "Heis a Kaffer—let him die." Yet there was found at last a good Samaritan, who, amid the reproaches. of his countrymen, relieved a suffering fellow-mortal. The Lander expedition is of too recent date to need our entering into particulars. The mournful assassination of Richard Lander was coupled with strange circumstances, " white man will never reach Eboe this time," was an excla mation that greeted his ears from King Jack, a relative of King Roy, and one of the heartless and sullen chiefs who ruled over the marsh country on the banks of the Brass River, uttered while his eyes sparkled with malignity. The subsequent ambuscades of the natives lower down the river, and the murderous discharges of musquetry while the boats were pushing off, fully showed the meaning of the threat, and, from the effects of the musket-wound he received, Lan der died on his arrival at Fernando Po. The last expedition, the lamentable accounts of which have just reached us, adds to these records of fatality perhaps a more frightful instance than any that have preceded it. In former cases, a single and valuable life has been sacrificed, or in cases where numbers constituted the expedition, the largest average of lives sacrificed was in the second expedi tion under Park ; but when souls, exceeding more than half a hundred, have been rashly hazarded and sacrificed, as in the present case, it is to be feared that so appalling an in. stance will, from its alarming nature, be the strongest pre ventive, both on the minds of individuals and the feeling of this or future government s , towar d s attempting a similar un dertaking. The Duke of Sutherland is about to erect a church at his sole expense in the colliery district of the parish of Lilleshall. THIRD EDITION.

Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease continued to rule nearly as described on Friday. Of prime Oats, a few parcels have been sold to-day, at former rates, but ordinary descriptions, being wholly ne glected, were the turn cheaper. Oatmeal, upon a very li mited inquiry, hardly sustained its previous value.

From Scotland we received 200 Scots. by ,teamers, Very few Sheep were brought, forward, while the de. mand for them was slow, at late rates. Scarcely any Calves were offered, owing to which the sale for them was brisk, at an advance of from 2d to 4d per 81b.

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, FEB. 4 Of English Wheat there is little left over from Monday, and that consists of inferior qualities, prices may be considered the same as on that day of free Foreign there has been a pretty good sale during the week for consumption, and of bonded there are buyers at reduced rates-, but holders will not give way. Barley, Pease, and Beans are a dull sale, but not cheaper, and the Oat tra e continues flat. The discussion of the Corn Laws, and the probability of less restrictive measures being introduced, has not produced any sensation► here, but parties arc waiting quietly the result of Sir Robert Peel's determination on Wednesday next. LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET. FEB. Since this day se'nnight, the transactions in Butter have been to a most trivial amount, and a serious decline in price having taken place in London, the trade here is in a most unsatisfactory state. It is pretty generally supposed, that if Sir Robert Peel should suc ceed, by the soundness and genuine liberality of his measures, in stifling the agitation of the humbugging Anti-Corn law league,— matters will he speedily ameliorated with us :—and the expose of Wednesday evening next is consequently looked for by the trade with the most intense anxiety. LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, FEB. 4 The only alteration in the duties for the ensuing week is an advance upon foreign Pease to 16s. 9d. per quarter. With the exception of a fair supply of Oats and Oatmeal from Ireland, the arrivals of British produce continue very limited, and from abroad we have to notice only one cargo of 1200 qrs. Mediterranean Wheat reported since Tuesday last. Though the transactions in free Wheat and Flour, within the last:ltwo days, have not extended beyond a moderate amount, and altogether for immediate consumption, the steadiness of the trade mentioned in our last, has conti nued, and in the sales made, our quotatons there stated have been fully supported : in other articles nothing of mo ment has been done. The announcement of Sir 'Robert Peel to bring before Parliament the consideration of the Corn Laws next week, appears to have produced a check to all extensive business at our Corn Exchange to-day: waiting the discussion of this question, buyers have again acted with caution, and the purchasers of wheat have been to a very limited extent : on the other band holders have been far from pressing sales, and the late currency for all descriptions of this grain, therefore, remains unvaried. Flour, also, has been restricted to a merely retail demand on the terms last noted. Having very little Malting Barley at hand, such is Is. per qr. dearer, and grinding samples are more saleable at former prices. —Malt and Pease, dull but not. cheaper.— Beans, with rather more inquiry, fully support their previous value. Oats, in the absence of country demand, were in very slow request, and barely maintained our last quotations, and oat meal, with the exception of a few speculative sales, met very little notice, without any material change in prices: The only transactions reported in bond, comprise part of a cargo of Ancona Wheat at 7s. per 701bs. and about 900 barrels of 'States Flour at 275. 6d. to 28s. per barrel. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. FEn,.4 On Wednesday and Thursday we bad a decidedly better demand for Cotton, causing transactions to the amount of 5000 on the former and 4500 on the latter day, inclusive of 1500 for export. To-day the demand is not so great, yet the tone of the market is firm and healthy; prices having of the two an upward tendency. The business is estimated at 3500 bales. The week's sales amount to 29,710 bales, in cluding 3000 for export, and 2500 on speculation account. Prices of all kinds without any material alteration. COTTON MARKET, FEBRUARY 5. Our market has had a very animated appearance to-day ; con sumers, exporters, and speculators, all purchasing freely at the full prices of. yesterday, making about id advance on business done early in the week ; altogether we should say that &WO bales have changed hands, and the market closes with firmness. COTTON MARKET, EmmyAter 7. The general and good demand noticed on Saturday have been maintained throughout today by the consumers, who has pur chased to the extent of 5000 bales at last week's prices, in some instances on rather easier terms, owing to the circumstance of the improved demand having caused many holders to show heir stocks, who would otherwise have' kept back. The market is healthy and steady. COTTON MARKET.—WEEKLY REPORT. In the early part of the week the demand from the trade was moderate, and, with a good assortment of American offering, the the market was rather heavy; but during the last few days Ex porters and Spinners have come forward freely, which has given more confidence to holders, and with decidedly a better feeling, prices of American and Surat are now steady at the prices current last Friday. For Brazil and Egyptian, however, the enquiry con tinues limited, and no improvement whatever has taken place. 2300 American have been taken on speculation, and 1800 American, sea La Gnayra, 130 Maranham, and 150 Surat for export. There have forwarded into the country unsold during -the last month 1 tide American, '220 Fenian', 20 Bahai and 400 Surat. There are declared for auction on Friday next 750 Sea Island, 100 Stained, 700 Carthagena and 330 Peruvian ACCOUNT OF SALES AND IMPORTS OF COTTON, From the 28th ult. to the 3rd instant, inclusive., Prices paid 1 31P0RT$ 9,11.
