DENTIAL ESCAPE were , the la ed in two Ireland ; though he must not be understood as grounding that confidence on their recent propositions, which he con sidered dangerous to the latter country, inasmuch as a fixed duty on corn was calculated to transfer to the continent the Irish trade in provisions. He thought, however, that the blame of these measures was mainly attributable to Lord Stanley, because of the manner in which he had sought to carry his registration bill for Ireland through parliament. Lord C. HAMILTON contended that the present House of Commons had been called together under peculiarly favour able circumstances to the present government, for, at the last election, a most unfair use had been made of her Ma jesty's name, in order to enlarge the number of their sup porters. If, in a House of Commons so called together, they found themselves in a minority, they were not justified, according to the spirit of the constitution, in retaining any longer the administration of public affairs. Sir G. STAUNTON entered into a justification of the policy adopted by the government in respect to affairs in China, and contended that the Duke of Wellington had acquitted them of all blame regarding the war with China. He was not surprised at the delay which had taken place in bringing matters in that country to a conclusion, for he anticipated that it would be a tedious affair; and he feared the divisions in that house might have had their effect on the Chinese au thorities, and might have tended to prevent those negocia tions from having been brought to a close at an earlier period. Sir W. JAMES, in supporting the motion of Sir Robert Peel, at once admitted that ministers were very fortunate in the Chinese affair, as far as it had hitherto gone, but not withstanding their partial success in that instance, it was im possible, in viewing the whole measure. Ad tenden'ey Of these , to repose in them that confidence without which no government ought to hold power. Mr. WALLACE contended that if the Queen's name was used at the last election by gentlemen on his side of the house, it was only in admiration of her having declared that Nonld see equal justice done to all her subjects in Ire while, on the other band, her name was used by the )ply for the purpose of being coupled with was so good for the people as agitation, and the noble lord (J. Russell) deserved credit for giving to the people this great opportunity •or agitating against the tyranny of the Mr. CaEsswELL said there had been so many recrimina tions with regard to hon. members travelling out of the le cord in this debate that he should endeavour to confine himself to the consideration of the resolution which the right hon. baronet had proposed for their acceptance.: He would take up with that branch of it which his hon. and learned friend the member for Shields had said was a truism, and which declared that the government did not possess the confidence of the house to a degree to enable them to carry measures which they deemed essential to the welfare of the country. He was surprised to hear the noble lord the secre tary for Ireland say that the government possessed a fair had as large a share of confidence as they deserved, but not such a share as entitled them to carry on the government with advantage to the country, and they themselves knew it. Let the house look back to the time when they expelled the right hon. baronet from office, by carrying a resolution that no settlement of Irish tithes could be satisfactory which did not embody the principle of the appropriation clause. Were they sincere in the opinions they then expressed ? He would not be guilty of saying that they • were not sincere, for if so, had obtained power by false pretences. (Loud opposi cheers,) Yet, if they were sincere, they had remained in office for six years without attempting to carry that prin ciple into effect. In 1835 they brought in a bill which passed through this, but was defeated in the other house. In 1836 they brought in another bill, which was so delayed in this house till the vacation that it never went to the other house. In 1837, when the enemies of the church were to be E.ppeased by some measure of spoliation that would secure their sup port to the nohle lord, and he could not rob the church in the way in which he originally proposed, the scheme for the abolition of church-rates was submitted to the house, and carried, on the 22nd May by 287 against 282. What was their opinion, then, of their own position ? Did they think they had sufficient power to carry the measures they deemed essential to the country ? And if they knew that they did not possess the power to effectuate their object, why should they attempt to disturb a system which it was now ascertained had existed from time extending beyond the period of legal memory. So much for the confidence of the late House of Commons. What was their positfon in the present house? This house met in the autumn of 1837 for a short time, and again re-assembled in 1838, when they intro duced another tithe bill, and on the hon. member for Shef field proposing to insert the appropriation clause in it, they refused to allow him. Still desirous to satisfy the wishes of the enemies of the church, in 1839 they brought forward their measure for the education of the people, and, after being obliged to make various modifications in it, at length succeeded in having a majority of two in one of the fullest houses that had ever met. Then came the Jamaica ques tion, in which he did not know what party they wished to please; but their attempt to destroy the constitution of that colony having been defeated, they retired from office, and again returned under circumstances little calculated to in crease the confidence of the house in them. It would not then do to let the session close without making some effort to regain the confidence they had lost; and, in de. fiance of the warnings from this side of the house, they, in in compliance with the hon. member for Greenock, threw away £1,200,000 a-year of the public revenue. True it was that a benefit was thereby conferred on some persons, but it was principally on those who were best able to bear the bur den, and especially on those mercantile houses which could afford to keep members of parliament in this house for the purpose of franking their letters. On the motion of want of confidence brought forward by his hon. friend the member for Devonshire, in 1840, the noble lord won by a majority of 20, there being, he was certain, several members on both sides who thought they could not support that motion, yet would not vote that they had confidence in the government. There was next the question concerning the dignity of a noble prince. The noble lord proposed a sum of £50,000 a year. Hon. members at this side considered that, in the present circumstances of the country, £30,000 would be suffi cient for him, and their views were supported by a majority of this house. This was a proof that the house had no con fidence in the economy of the noble lord. Next, the hon. member for Harwich brought forward a motion condemning their financial policy, and carried it on a division against them ; the house thus proving that they had no confidence in the financial wisdom of ministers. Next came the motion of his hon. friend the member for North Durham, declaring that the pension to Sir J. Newport ought not to be made a precedent for future governments. In vain did the noble lord say this was tantamount to a vote of want of confidence. The house voted against him, thus proving that they had no confidence in•the economy, the financial wisdom, or the political economy of the ministers. What then was the con fidence reposed in them ? Confidence nrerely to enable them to shuffle through a session. After they had relinquished their attempts to reform the system of voting in Ireland, the noble lord, the member for North Lancashire, brought in his bill, succeeded in carrying it against the government, and was at last defeated, not by the votes of the house, but by the speeches of honourable members who were opposed to it, made for the purpose of delay. Then again, what had the noble lord done in 1841 ? He had himself brought in a bill to give to Ireland a new constitution. And at whose instance was that measure blught forward? Was it upon the noble lord's own judgment? (Hear, hear.) If so, why had it not been introduced before ? But no, it was not the strength of his judgment that indnced the noble lord to bring forward that measure ; but it was the wealcifess of his posi tion, and the necessity he found himself under to do some- ing to conciliate his extreme supporters. (Hear.) This mac that had induced the noble lord min to stir 1113 the cauldron of political mischief, to let loose upon the people the potent charms of strife and agitation, and by throwing over the anchors and the safeguards of the state, to endanger the constitution of the country. (Hear, hear.) The noble lord had recently embarked in a new species of agitation in Ireland, and, throwing over the representative system so recently established, was seeking to establish an entirely different system of representation in that country. Well, had the noble lord and his coadjutors the confidence of the house in respect to that measure? No; a majority of the house had decided aeainst its main provision. Then came their propo- sitiotis oflheap timber and cheap corn ; and why were these brought forward ? Why was a measure nuw to be pressed by the noble lord, which his colleague in another place, only two years ago, had declared it would be an act of madness in my boyern'mont, and, therefore, an act of treason again on the pared any Government to propose county (Hear, hear.) Surely the declaration of the noble viscount made in the other house was tantamount to that. And the noble lord could not but be aware that those who supported him in his proposition for a fixed duty on corn, did so not on the ground that it was proper to maintain a protect ing duty on corn, but because they looked upon it as the first step towards a total abolition. (Hear, hear.) This was clearly shown by the proceedings and the speeches at the various corn law meetings by which the country was now agitated. The noble lord obtained the sup port of the party around him, not because they had confidence in his measures, but because they hoped to be able to extort from his weakness and necessity all that they might think proper to 'demand. (Hear, hear.) The government were without any certain course, they had no chart to guide them, and were content to run before the popular gale, and to con cede whatever was demanded. The noble lord could not hope that the result of a dissolution would be to enable him to carry these measures or to give him a majority. (Hear.) Yet the noble lord thought he was entitled to stay in office merely for the purpose of dissolving the parliament, and agi tating the country. (" Oh, oh," and cheers.) Could arty one say that the government retained their offices for the purpose of carrying on the business of the country? Was not their object in bringing on the debate on the corn laws to excite agitation and turbulence in the country ? (Hear, hear.) There could be no other motive, for he would not suppose that ministers were so deficient in wisdom as not to be aware that that would be the effect of their proceedings. Could they suppose that the motive of the noble lord and his col leagues was to fight the battle of the crown—as had been stated—and to prevent the House of Commons from en croaching on its prerogatives ? Surely that would not be urged by the noble lord as the reason for the course he was now taking. It must be then that the object of ministers in remaining in office and agitating those questions was to en deavour to render the representatives of the people odious to the represented, and to excite such a feeling of odium and throughout the country against the present House of Commons, as might be the means of substituting for it a dif ferent House of Commons, the'members of which would be more subservient to their wishes, or rather the wishes of a portion of their supporters. (Hear, hear.) The noble lord might possibly succeed in agitating the country, but he would fail in his object. In Stroud, the borough which the noble lord represented, the excitement had already com menced. The Globe newspaper of the 24th of May con tained an account of a meeting of many of the noble lord's e e supporters in that borough, as extracted from the Cheltenham and the [The Globeho n . and ne w learned spaper member nha then , giving an account of a held Stroud, L Lord John meetingat of or Russell's constituents, and the excitement that prevailed there.] And was it describing lord remained in offic e ? purpose that. the noble aafciitr to e ings in the other towns, and that the oen t e r z ni rag h e omfmLlamromcreact might be exhibited throughout England, Ireland, and Scot land, and and that we might see the revolutionary principles of Dr. LUSHINGTON felt it necessary, after the part he had taken in krecent debate, to defend the course he was about to pursue on the present occasion. He thought the Chan cellor of the Exchequer wrong to couple three great measures together—measures which stood upon different principles— and to expect the house to take them as a whole ; but on the other hand, he could not assent to the proposition that those who voted against one of those measures had thereby given a vote of want of confidence in ministers. The right hon. gentleman contended that the ministry was perfectly justified in maintaining office, and appealing to the people against the majority of the house. He then stated various reasons why he intended to support the government against the motion of Sir R. Peel, one of the principal of which was, that he could not consent to place the education of the people, a matter of the utmost importance, in the hands of an exclusive party. Sir W. FOLLETT said he would not charge the right hon. gentleman with inconsistency, because he was about to give probably his last vote in that house in favour of her Majesty's ministers, whom he had invariably supported, except on one occasion, when he thought one of their measures calculated to injure a cause which, during a long life, he had most an xiously advocated. The hon. gentleman then said that the fault he found with the government was not that they intend ed to dissolve the parliament and appeal to the people, but that they persevered in holding office, bringing forward mea sures for discussion which they knew would not be passed in this parliament—which they did not intend should be passed by this parliament—but the discussion of which they knew would serve the purposes of agitation, and tend to give a chance of a majority at the approach►ng general election. The people, however, would not be agitated to the extent expected, for they were too wise to suffer the foundations of society to be upturned, and class placed in array against class, merely for the purpose of keeping a certain set of persons in office. So little of the confidence of the house did the minis try possess, that since they had themselves declared that they did not possess its confidence, they had never been able to carry a single measure through parliament without the con currence of his right hon. friend Sir R. Peel. This conti nued inability to carry any measure without the assent of the opposition, and their continuance, under such circum stances in office, was without any parliamentary precedent, and was of itself a sufficient justificatlon for the motion of want of confidence. _ Sir GEORGE GREY instanced the case of the reform bill in 1831 as a precedent for the course pursed now. Earl Grey's government on that occasion brought forward the reform bill for discussion in a parliament by which he knew n. bart. (Sir Graham), who vow found fault with the ministry for perse vering in bringing forward the corn laws for discussion in a parliament which would not pass them, was himself a mem ber of the government of Earl Grey. The right hon. gent. then entered into a defence of the measures of the present ministry, in the course of which he said he had no doubt but that Sir R. Peel would be able to govern Ireland very well if left to himself, but that he was surrounded by those from whose influence he would find it impossible to free himself. I.llr. HANDLEY denied that anything he had ever said could be fairly construed into a want of confidence in the ministry. The utmost he had ever said was, that if their having the power to bring forward the corn laws depended on his vote, they should never have that power. He was challenged by the right hon. member for Pembroke with being inconsistent, after such a sentence, in giving his confidence to the govern ment. He might be turned out of his seat for doing so, but if such should be the case he would lose it because of his ad herence to his party and his principles, while the right hon. baronet was turned out by the honest grey coats of Cumber land because he was false to both. The hon. member then adverted to the question of the corn laws, and asked the right hon. bart. (Sir R. Peel) to give an answer to a plain question —namely, whether he would continue to the agriculturists the protection they now enjoyed ; or if he would not give an answer, would he allow an inference to be drawn ? For if he did neither, he must bid adieu to the character for candour which he was anxious to maintain with the agriculturists. Adjourned. LONDON MONEY MARKET.

EMPTY HOUSES.—As one proof of the depression of trade and the want of means by the people, we may mention, that in Preston there are now 1,220 houses unoccupied, and, consequently, not paying rates. AN ACT OF HONESTY.—About twelve years-ago, a person named Joseph Hall, who vi as then a hand-loom weaver re siding at Stockport, emigrated to America with his mother, who we believe was then a widow. At the time they left Stock, they were upwards of £2O in debt. Their creditors have lately been agreeably surprised by having the whole of their respective debts paid to them. Mr. William Holden, provision -dealer, of Edgeley. one of the creditors, has lately received a letter from Hall, who now resides at Baltimore. The letter contained a draft or bill of exchange for £25, with a request to Mr. Holden that he would discharge the debts owing to eight individuals, whom he named, the lowest amount being 4s 2d, and the highest, which was for rent, £7 10s. The whole amount being £22 Os 11d. The surplus he ordered to be given to on old acquaintance. The money has been applied by Mr. Holden as directed. The letter concludes with a postscript, stating the writer had overlooked two other of his creditors, for whom he intended shortly to send another draft. SUMMER ASEIEEs.—The judges of the different law courts assembled in the Exchequer Chamber on Thursday, and chose their respective circuits on the ensuing assizes. The following is the arrangement : Northern.—Lord Denman and Mr. Justice Wigbtman. Western.--Mr. Justice Maule and Mr. Baron Rolfe. Midland.—Mr. Baron Park and Mr. Baron Gurney. Oxford—Mr. Justice Coleridge and Mr. Justice Coltman. Home.—Chief Justice Tindal and Mr. Justice Bosanquet. Norfolk.—Mr. Baron Alderson and Mr. Justice Williams. North Wales.—Lord Abinger. South Wales.—Mr. Justice Erskine. Mr. Justice Pattison remains in town, and will attend business at Chambers. HINTS TO THE WORKING CLASSES.—The reason why our exporting manufacturers demand a repeal of the corn laws is, that such repeal would equalise the price of English with the price of continental labour, which is stated by the Manchester repealers as under : In France ss. Bd. per week of 76 hours Switzerland 4 5 per ditto of 84 ditto. Austria 4 0 per ditto of 76 ditto. Tyrol 3 9 per ditto of 88 ditto. Saxony 2 6 per ditto of 72 ditto. Bonne on the Rhine 2 6 per ditto of 84 ditto. Being an average of 3s. 10111. per week of 79 hours' labour. The average price of English labour in this district is 13s. a week. Will the labouring classes exchange a condition of comparative comfort and affluence for such a state of depen dence and misery ? They are the parties most vitally affected by the projected alteration of the corn laws. THE SLAVE TRAna.—The Conservatives are charged with hypocrisy in opposing the promotion of the slave trade. The charge is false, and they are hypocrites who make it. The Conservatives have been from the first the opponents of the slave trade. and if the Whigs, in their usual pursuit of popu larity, snatched the opportunity of sealing its abolition, the Conservatives were they who had prepared the opportunity for them by makingthe measure popular. Burke was a Con servative—Pitt was a Conservative—Wilberforce was a Con servative—Perceval was a Conservative—Lord Castlereagh was a Conservative—Mr. Canning was a Conservative, and these were all firm opponents of. the slave trade. On the other side, Lord Fitzwilliam, Lord Sligo, and other Whigs, opposed even their own party upon the question of abolition in 1806, when the question was carried against a minority of only fifteen in the House of Commons, and without a divi sion in the House of Lords. The Conservative Duke of Northumberland has the distinguished honour of not only having exerted himself for the abolition of the slave trade, but the honour also of having anticipated all others in at tempting to provide for the extinction of slavery itself. His Grace, in 1806, then Lord Percy, moved an amendment to the effect that slavery should cease in the British dominions in 1810—an amendment which the Whig Ministers of the day resisted with success. FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT UN THE GREENWICH RAILWAY. —On Friday afternoon, as the train which leaves the ter minus at the Greenwich end at a quarter before three o'clock, reached that part of the line which crosses Blue Anchor-lane, Bermondsey, and where the junction of the Brighton and Croydon line unites with the Greenwich, the engine came furiously in contact with a post whicmhhamfydtaebidde Br incautiously by a leapcautiouoslvyerbetehne left across the tram w ay .

Mr. H.

Mr. GILLON would give his support posed by the government, though he vi • • to the measures pro- Measures of financ ould Le insuflicier imposition of a property=tax. Mr. J. GRATTAN gave to the ministry his entire confidence, whether he viewed their policy in China, the colonies, or in the French sans culottes established in this country ? (Hear.) He hoped the noble lord would pause before he took that course, and that he would be saved from the ignominy which must attend it. He hoped the noble lord and his colleagues had some regard for posthumous fame. Already had they obtained a name by the assistance of the honourable member for Finsbury, which they would find it difficult to shake cff. They had heard of whig administrations, they had heard of tory administrations, and they had heard of broad bottom They had had also heard of a reform admi ustration, but now (as the hon. member for Finsbury had administratic said) the reform administration had dwindled down to a squeezable administration. (Hear, and a laugh). The title might sound ridiculous, but better be ridiculous than worse ; but if the principles of the sans culottes of revolutionary France were to be resuscitated and prevail in this country — if democracy was to be in the ascendant, then the noble lord and his colleagues would not escape with such a name as the squeezable administration, but they would richly merit, and . . . would assuredly obtain the name of the wicked administra tion. (Hear, hear.) He should, with these views, most cordially support the motion of the right hon. hart. the mem ber for Tamworth. _ . EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY.—The works of the Eastern Counties Railway Company are now in progress at Hatfield Peverel, and a fine supply of brick earth in the lane opposite the mansion of A. Johnson, Esq., will be speedily converted into bricks for the various adjacent bridges. The road leading from New-street, in this town, to the rectory, has been diverted, and men are employed in digging the foun dations for the New Bridge at that part of the line. An ac cession of hands has been put into the Springfield cutting, and the embankment formed from the soil is rapidly length ening, nearly fifty yards, comprising between 5,000 and 6,000 loads of earth, having, we are informed, been completed within a week. The Widford cutting is also progressing, and fast nearing the high road.—Chelmsford Chronicle.

TO THE LOYAL PEOLPE OF ENGLAND It is now nearly four years since (when the country was, as it is again, on the eve of a general election), I presumed to intimate an opinion that a trick upon the people of En gland was contemplated by her Majesty's ministers. I told you that " an administration which had obtained office by means politically dishonourable, which by an tundisguised alliance with professed revolutionists had forced itself upon the late gracious monarch, and that on the pretence of carry ing measures it had not carried—an administration which, with economy on its lips, had squandered hundreds of thou sands of the public money on useless commissions at home, and on worse than useless contests abroad—an administra tion which had become contemptible from impotence, and hateful by its tyranny, which had stigmatised poverty as a crime worthy of the bastile and its coarser food allowance— that that administration was about to attempt, by a new juggle, to re-invigorate its expiring energies." I told you that their " cry would be The Queen and the Ministry, the Queen and Reform, or some other phrase equally calculated to delude." I added, that if you " could once more be gulled, the seat of the minister was safe," but that " if you were awake to the delusion, it would crumble from beneath him." And I concluded by expressing myself confident that " the trick would utterly and ignominiously PAIL," Was I right or wrong ? I was correct in every particular. The Queen's name was paraded with the most indecent fami liarity in every whig newspaper, "and upon every hustings in the country. It was openly insinuated that to vote against a ministerialist was to vote against the wishes of her Ma jesty. But what was the result? You paid no attention to hints so improper and unconstitutional. You had too much respect for the sovereign to permit yourselves to inquire into their truth or falsehood. You had a great duty to do, and you did it. In spite of all the trickery of the most unscru pulous faction that ever struggled for ascendancy, you sent into the new parliament a greater number of conservatives than you had returned to the former. You had been asked to strengthen ministers, and you replied by weakening them. You left them no stay—nothing upon which to lean, but the great Irish impostor, and the serfs whom he deludes and lives upon. But you did more. You sent such a phalanx of good men and true into the house as rendered even the stay of that impostor unavailable to them. They have been repeatedly . and disgracefully beaten, with him and all his serfs at their back. And what is their resource now ? They have the audacity to threaten another appeal to you!—to you, who gave such an answer to their last, which was made at a juncture more favourable to their hopes than any that can ever occur again. What then ? Do they think that you have, in some de gree, relaxed your hostility to their principles ? and that you are ready to reverse your former verdict ? By what, then, do they hope to have soothed you? With what " juggle" are you about to be—if you are not already—gulled? CHEAP BREAD! This is trick the second ; and, if you are the peo ple I take you for; it will be trick the last. I shall not now enter into any examination of the present corn-bill. Whether its alteration or abolition might, or might not, be advantageous to the nation, is nothing to my argument. I contend that you ought not to intrust the decision of a question so momentous to a Government com posed of Quacks and Incapables. Just glance with me over a few of their acts during the last ten years, and you will not think my epithets too harsh. They gave you the _Worm Bill, which they assured you would cure all your ills, physi cal and political. A vast majority of you, for a time, believed and supported them. But who now boasts of its healing virtues ? It is a failure, and its own authors confess it ! They gave you next the Corporation Reform Bill. What did it do ? 'lt threw, for a year or two ' all the civic power into the hands of their own partisans, who have proved them selves as incapable as their leaders to occupy any station of trust, and who have been already discarded, in most places,. from the stations they occupied. The Corporation Reform Bill is a failure, and its authors confess it ! Another speci men of Whig legislation was their Poor Law Amendment Act, or what is uturally termed the New Poor Law. That the old generous Elizabethan Act had been greatly abused, or that it needed amendment, nobody -ever denied. But to amend has not so magnificent a sound as to abolish, and to produce something new. Accordingly the Whigs were deter mined to produce something new, and they did so. They produced a measure which has neverl yet been worked out— which never can be worked out—because the feelings of Eng lishmen will not endure it. "No relief but in the work house," which is the stern mandate of this new tyranny, is not, and cannot be, enforced ; and if so, their New Poor Law, too, is a failure! During these changes, the expenditure began to exceed the revenue of the country • and by the way, I suppose of increasing the latter, they reduced the Postage duties. They gave you, lastly, the Penny Postage. This was, they asserted, a boon to the poor. The hypocrites! they talk of being friends of the poor, who had covered the land with Bastiles for their reception ! But to pass this over, has their Penny Postage succeeded? Not it. indeed. The deficiency caused by this change, is four times the amount they expect to raise by a scheme which will peril, and may ruin, the agriculture of the country ! And this brings me back to their " trick the last"—the Corn Laws. Whether they are sincere in their professed intention of substituting a fixed duty for the present fluctuating duties— whether the announcement is a mere fraud, an electioneering manoeuvre—or whether it is made for the semi-traitorous purpose of embarrassing the future government of the Queen, I shall not stop to inquire. I care as little about their motives as, I trust, you do. I maintain that, be their motives good or be they evil—be their inten ions honestly entertained or be they not—be they the most patriotic, or be they the least patriotic ministry that ever graced or dis graced the land of their nativity, I maintain that they are incapable, utterly incapable, of carrying any view into effect. Incapable, not from the opposition they meet with, not from the impracticability, in every instance, of their designs, b u t from sheer want of legislative ability. A majority of you trusted them long, supported them long, believing them ho nest, and hoping that they would learn the art of government from experience. But you have seen measure after measure held forth as a panacea, and you have seen them successively fail. In seven years you have seen more than seven millions added to the national debt ,• and that they call retrench ment. You have seen hundreds of thousands lavished on commissioners ; and that they call economy. You have seen expeditions to Spain, to Egypt, to China ; and that they call peace and non-intervention. To use a vulgar but ex pressive phrase—you have been LIU MBUGGED ! You have been humbugged for ten long and disastrous years. But if these men give you the opportunity they threaten to give, you will, I am persuaded, take ample RE VENGE. And revenge, in this case, will be a virtue ; it will be one of the greatest of human virtues—it will be TRUE PATRIOTISM. This revenge you will begin at the hustings, and achieve in the polling-booths. You will tell the Whigs, wherever they appear, that you have given them a long and patient trial ; that your verdict is adverse to any renewal of confidence in them ; and that you will choose men who will neither be the vassal slaves of O'Connell, nor the betrayers of a young, an innocent, and unsuspecting Q UEEN !

(From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott $. Son.) Since this day week the imports of Grain and Flour from Foreign ports have been pretty considerable, but quite trivial from Ireland, and from ports Coastways ; — the demand has continued steady, and although duty has been paid on about 6000 qrs. of Foreign Wheat, sales have continued at fully the prices of Tuesday last for fine fresh Wheat and Flour, and in some instances at a small increase, but all other articles in the Corn Trade have experienced a very limited demand at about our last quotations. The duty on Barley, Indian Corn. Buck Wheat, Oath, and Beans, from Foreign Ports, is this week increased i s 6d per quarter; on other articles no alteration, but the duty on Wheat will in all pro bability be Is higher next Friday ; some few parcels of fine fresh Baltic Wheit have .changed hands at about 6s per 70Ibs. and of American Flour at 225 6d to 23s per barrel, and of Oats at 3s to 3s Id per 451bs. in bond. At this day's market we have had a thin attendance, and sales only to a very moderate extent effected at a small decline on almost every article in the trade ; and although we have little or no. alter ation in our prices current, a reduction of Id to 2d per 70 lbs. in some instances was submitted to on the finer qualities of Wheat.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JUNE 1 The sales of Cotton to-day are:soo to 1000 bales, with a very dull and flat market, but without any general variation in price ; although holders have great difficulty in making sales without some concessions from previous rates. COTTON MARKET, JUNE 2 There has been a very moderate extent of business done in Cotton to-day, the sales being scarcely 1,500 bags all to the trade, comprising 50 Pernams, Sid to Sid, 40 Maranhams, lid to 7id, 20 Egyptians, gid to led, 30u Surats, id to sd, and the rest Americans, chiefly from Sid to 7d. Prices are without much perceptable alteration, although the tone of the market is decidedly heavy and flat. COTTON MARKET, TUNS 3 The Cotton market still continues without the least improvement either in the demand or in pticeg. The business to-day is again very limited, the total sales not exceeding 1.100 bags, consisting principally of American descriptions, but including 100 Surats 4d to 4id, and 100 13razils, 84d to 84d. LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, JUNE 2 The ar►ivals are moderate, except of foreign Wheat, which amounts to 6,380 quarters. The Wheat trade is very dull on Monday's terms. All other articles are unaltered in prices, with a very slow sale. DUBLIN CORN EXCHANGE, JUNE 1 LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, JUNE 3 There has been less business doing in our Butter market during the last few day's ; and prices are the turn cheaper. Indeed, there is no confidence in any branch of the Irish trade, neither will there be any, until the country be restored to a state of quietude, by the expulsion from power of men, who are so recklessly idiotic in their endeavours to ruin the agricultural community. If there is to be free trade in Corn,—why not in Butter, Beef, Pork, and Bacon ? Answer, ye countless thousands dependant upon the staple produce of Ould Ireland ;—what faith can you place in your unprincipled legislators ? BELFAST MARKET The weather has been very fine during the week, and our crops have a most promising appearance. Farmers' Wheat in very scanty. supply, and selling slowly at former rates, and for parcels, ex-ship or store, there is but little inquiry. Foreign Wheat in but limited request at former rates, and several cargoes have arrived during the week, so that our stock is considerable at present. Flour without change. Barley is more plentiful, and a cargo of light west of Ireland barely, is now selling out at .e 7 15s per ton, cash. Malt 25s to 27s per barrel of 1701bs. Oats are in good sup. ply, and prices are again rather lower. SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, MAY 31 Owing to the supply of beasts offering to-day, being on the whole extensive, the weather very unfavourable to slaughtering, and the attendance of both London and country dealers limited, the Beef trade was in a sluggish state, at a depression in the currencies noted on this day se'nnight of from 2d to 4d per 81b., while upwards of 400 head were turned out unsold at the conclusion of business. Sheep came freely to hand, yet the inquiry for them was by no means so heavy as might have been anticipated, and last week's quotations were well supported. The sales for Calves and Pigs was heavy. HULL CORN MARKET, JUNE 1 There has been another week of remarkably fine weather, and the appearance of the country is most luxuriant and promising. This, in addition to the dull reports we continue to receive from the large consuming market, causing the demand to be quite confined to retail purchasers ; although the prices cannot be quoted lower, yet the business passing, either in bond or free grain is of the least possible character. This day's market is again met with only a supply of farmer's Wheat, the best runs of which bring last week's prices, but all the secondary quality barely support the prices of last week ; the trade, however, in every department is almost ex clusively confined to the millers, and they only buy for their im mediate wants. No alteration in the prices for free foreign, and nothing doing in bonded Wheat.
