In the course of the night several were tam__ ,ners, and a great quan tity of -muskets,, pikes, daggers, cats • (an instrument with three prongs, which is meant to be thrown on the ground to destroy the horses' feet), powder, balls, grenades,'&c. were seized. At one place the police discovered a regular store of these deadly weapons, and they were brought to the office in a coach, the body of which was nearly filled by them. The picquets on the. Glossop road met a considerable body of men marching towards the town, about half-past one in the morning,. the " shine" of whose spears was distinctly visible. The picquet approached within twenty' yards of them to makevertain, and immediately came to the Tontine and gave the alarm. On the other road bodies of men were also seen, but the preparations made evidently had the effect of intimidating them from entering the town. During the whole of Sunday the greatest excitement prevailed in the neighbourhood of the Town-hall, where a troop of the Ist Dragoons were on duty, and at five o'clock the yeomanry were called out, who continued to parade the Haymarket and neighbourhood during the whole of the night. Yester day a great number of prisoners were taken, examined be fore the magistrates, and remanded. Some of the magis trates have been in attendance since Saturday afternoon. From inquiries at the Infirmary last evening, we bear that the watchman, Howe, who has two sword-cuts in the neck and a wound in the back, is doing very well. We under stand he was also fired at several times up the Glossop-road, but without effect. Henry Taylor, who was wounded beyond the Twelve-o'clock, by a number Of slugs being fired into his side and hack, being a worn subject, otherwise in a worn state of body, is not doing so well. Taylor says he had no intimation of the attack, nor any given by which he cold conclude whence it proceeded. He is said to be a chailiSt, and that he had by some means given offence to his asso ciates. The circumstances under which this last individual was shot are curious. We understand be was proceeding to Attcrcliffe, in company with another man, to fetch a relation to attend on his wife, who was poorly ; and on arriving at the first row of houses past the Twelve o'clock, in the Wicker, he was shot in the back. His companion than left him, and has not since been heard of. The poor man contrived to get to a beer-house in the row, and having knocked at the door, he dropped to the ground. The inmates of the house, who were just retiring to bed, however came doWn stairs, and every attention was paid to the wounded man. Mr. Watson,' surgeon, of the Wicker, was sent for, and extracted a num ber of slugs from his body. At five o'clock in the morning lie was conveyed to the Infirmary. There is another rumour afloat, that he was a chartist, and was shot by one of the same class whilst running away from the main body. There are rumours in the town respecting outbreaks in Dewsbury, Mansfield, Barnsley, &c. It appears to have been a generally pre-arranged plan throughout the country to have an ourbreak should Mr. Frost be convicted. The troops at Nottingham, Stockport, &c., bad received notice to be in readiness. TOWN-HALL, MONDAY. EXAMINATION OF CHARTISTS CHARGED WITH HIGH TREASON. The following prisoners were placed at the bar :—Hol berry and his wife, Mary Holberry, Booker, Foxall, Booker, jun., and S. Thompson, most of whom had been taken with arms in their possession. The large table of the Sessions room was filled with articles taken from the prisoners and from the houses of the chartists, consisting of hand grenades, two large balls, a large quantity of other combustible mate rials, also great numbers of long pikes, daggers, swords, spears, guns, pistols, cats, and ball cartridges, giving to an observer a fearful idea of the horrible nature and extent of the proceedings of the physical force chartists in this town. Mr. Thomas Raynor, examined.-1 am superintendent of police. I am aware of meetings having been held in the rooms in Fig-tree-lane; on Thursday and Friday evenings last I saw persons going in and out; from information re ceived, I expected that some disturbance would take place in the town some way or other, but how I was not informed. About twelve o!clock on Saturday night I went to the house of Holberry, No. 19, Eyre-lane, in company with Mr. Wild and some policemen ; we saw a female, the wife of Holberry. Wild asked her if one Hartley lived there : she said, " No he did not. I know who you want, you want a person of the name of Otley." In consequence of what she said we went up stairs, leaving the policemen below. We found the pri soner laid on the bed in the chamber, dressed all but his shoes ; he rose up in bed, and Wild said, " What have you in your pocket ?" He made no answer, and Wild took a dagger front his side pocket, whilst he was resting on the bed with his hand. Wild asked him if he was one of those persons called chartists ? He said, " I am." Wild then said, " Are you a moral or physical force man ?" I then looked at the dagger, and said. " Surely you would not take life ?" He said, ' But I would in obtaining the charter, and in defence of liberty." " Mi n d, (h e said, lam no thief, no robber; I will fight for the charter, I will not rest until I have got it; to that I've made up my mind." Wild said, " - Y ou are very candid." I proceeded to search the box, and the prisoner said, " You'll not find anything there, what you want is up stairs, and I'll go with you." Wild said," You must go down stairs." He still urged to go up stairs." We took him down and left him with the police. We then went up into the garret • the first thing we saw was a hors e pi s t o l placed within reach of a person going up stairs ; it has since been drawn, and was found to be heavily loaded with shot; we found also twelve hand grenades, one and a half dozen fire balls, made of pitch and tar, three dozen of tin cases wrapped in tow or bards, three torches, (the prisoner said they were to light the grenades with) forty pieces of ball cartridge, a hundred or two of iron bullets, fuse conducters, iron pot with pitch in . it. We brought the prisoner to the Town-hall. I held the pistol in my hand and said, " Surely you would not shoot -me ? " He said, "0, yes, I would, in the charter; I will fight for.liberty and the charter." I have seen a grenade opened ; we cut the strings, and found first a coat of herds, them pitch covered with small pebble stones and a bullet ; in the centre a blacking-bottle Stopped up with a bit of wood with a hole through it ; a quill through the hole filled with gunpowder, the bottle was filled with blasting powder and slugs. Thomas Adcock, a watchman, was brought in wounded in the arm about two o'clock, and another watchman was also brought in wounded about four o'clock; his name is Howe ; he was very bad ; was brought in a hackney coach ; he was cut in the back and several parts of the head. Information was given of a man being very badly wounded near the Twelve o'clock ; sent down a stretcher for him ; sent both the latter men to the Infirmary. The prisoner Booker, the elder, was brought in between four and five o'clock; he lives in Bennet-lane ; I went there with Wild, Bland, Lieutenant Nichol, and a party of soldiers arid policemen ; found there the two young men Booker and foxhall ; the house is in a yard. On searching the house ed a gun over the chimney-piece; Bland found another corner in pieces, and Wild found a loaded pistol in __. The wife of the elder Booker was in bed, there was lying at the foot of the bed 391 ball cartridges is different quantities. Found also two large bomb-shells about nine inches in diameter, two hand grenades similar to those found at Ilolberry's four daggers, and a long sharp pointed staff, down stairs. When they got to Booker's house, the two young prisoners were sitting b the fire, dressed, and appeared as if lately come in. There is no other chamber or bed in the house, but thinks there is a garret.—l went to search Samuel Thompson's house about seven o'clock in the morning, situated in the Wicker; Wild, Bland, Lieutenant Nichol, and policemen accompanied me. Found a dagger in a basket containing groceries ; Bland took it ; the father said they were his sons. In an upper room of the house saw a very long knife amongst the furniture; it was said to be the younger Thomson's. Down stairs foundin a cupboard several chartist songs. Since that time, that is, on Sunday and Monday, a great many -pikes have been brought to the Town-hall. A dagger in a case, finely got up, similar to that "found at Holberry's, along with two others, were found near the Dams ; -some of the handles to the pikes would be nine feet long. When Samuel Thompson, the younger, was brought in, two swords and two daggers were brought along with him. The soldiery were on duty the whole of the night. I was in Scotland -street between five and six o'clock, with ten policemen and a division of infantry; also in other parts • all over the,town. In S cotland -street saw several persons at a distance ; ran after three or four of them up a passage, when they jumped over a wall and threw away a pistol • went along with Wild and Bland to a p erson ' s house in St. Philip's road ; his name was Benjamin Glossop ; it was about ten o'clock on Sunday morning; we found materials for making grenades, a dagger, and ball catridges ; there was no person in the house, so burst open the door. Gregory Nance, a policeman, went on duty about ten o'clock on Saturday night; went towards the Dams about twenty minutes past four o'clock ; saw three persons in a lane past the Dams ; when he saw them they ran away ; he pursued ; two of them got over a wall ; saw something in the hand of one of them ; saw him throw it away ; it was a (leper in a stick ; the one now produced was found close to the place. When I got to Booker, he had his hand over the wall ; on the other side of which was found, at the place the first man got over, a belt; the bundle of cats and a dagger was found a little further off, and about where prisoner stood ; gave him in charge to a policeman ; •saw another dagger and a pistol which was found about the same place. John Hadcock, a watchman, was on duty near the Infir mary, between twelve and one o'clock on Saturday night; I observed a party of men coming towards me ; there were from twenty-five to thirty of them, most of them armed with spears ; I gave way for them ; they did not speak a word ; nothing was said ; they attacked me with spears ; they pre sented them to me, and 1 drew out my paddle to defend my self as well as I could ; in the scuffle I seized ope of the spears, and one of them was run through my arm, and ano ther cut my cheek. Several other witnesses proved that they saw armed par ties in various parts of the town, and found pistols, daggers, &c. in the streets after the people were dispersed. The investigation was adjourned, and the . prisoners, in consequence of the improper demeanour of the assemblage in court, were removed whilst a detachment of-dragoons, 25 in number, stood round the councillors' table and boxes with drawn swords. At a late hour on Monday all was tranquil, and the town pres ented its usual appeara nce , with the exception of the soldiers patrolling in the principal streets. a iowei• room FURTHER CHARTIST MOVEMENTS IN YORKSHIRE. (From the Morniray Herald of y esterday) DEWSBURY, Yoaxsn IRE, JAN. 12.—Last night the town was taken possession of by an armed body o f „,en , and the private watchmen, six in number, 'obliged to fly. m r. Matthew Hale, merchant, who was out as an inspector of the watch, on going towards the Leeds-road-end, was stop ped by about twenty, with muskets and daggers, and bid to stand, which he did ; and on 'finding that he would not be allowed to proceed, turned round and retreated homewards, .when he was immediately tired upon, hut fortunately without receiving any injury. The party. afterwards continued to fire their pieces off for upwards of three hours. Upwards..of 200 discharges were tired. Some trilling damage - has been done to the lamps and posts, the lights being all - put out, and stones were thrown through the windows of Mr. Mallinson's chamber. From 100 to 200 men paraded the streets, and every avenue to the town was guarded. • DEWqBtRY, JAN. 13.--'' In my hurried note,' yesterday, I forgot, to say that about three or half-past three o'clock in the morning the firing ceased, arid the chartists left the town. Almost every one-of them was armed with a gun and a bay onet, and the party parading the streets was headed by a 'fel low crying out; " Hurrah ! the town is our own. Death or glory !" The magistrates, who reside about a mile from the town, and who had not been informed before daylight (so great was the terror of the inhabitants that 'no man durst venture out), met in the morning and sent over to . Leeds barracks fOr a detachment of soldiers, and about 30 of the dragoons arrived here in the afternoon. All has been very quiet since, but rumours are abroad that to-morrow night a general attack will be made upon the town. It is surprisinr, that no more mischief was done, the whole of our police force being three—a constable (who is Strongly supected (4' being a chartist himself), and two deputies. The iphal?itaqu gene. ralir are very thankful that no attack was :made upou th e i r property, and attribute it solely to Almighty God, in not per mitting so great a sin, thatthe town was not sacked and burnt. CONTEMPORARY PRESS. THE O'CONNELLITE MEETING AT DUBLIN. (Prom the Morning Herald.) The meeting of the Ministerialists in Dublin, on Fri day last, may be regarded as one of the expiring efforts of the desperate faction which has rioted On the pa tronage of Ireland for five years past. In itself, the affair was utterly contemptible. The speeches were of the sorriest description—disgraceful. indeed, they might be termed in reference to the lack of talent exhibited, to any but a congregation of . O'Connellites. The impudent cant which these pettyfogging traders in agitation_pour forth is, in itself, utterly disgusting. They talk of "oppressed Ireland," of "tort' tyranny," and of the necessity that exists for " striking a blow in behalf of Ireland," as if they really believed in the existence of some conservative plot for the extermina tion of Irish Papists ! Lord Brabazon spoke of the present Ministry in the following strain : " But, remember, at the same time, and allow me most anxiously to impress it on your memory, that it is not for any. mere empty objects we fight, but that we are entering into • a struggle for the sustainment of those sacred principles of justice which are professed, and, what is more, acted upon by the Government under which we have the happiness of living—(cheers,) which are bringing forth abundant fruits in Ireland, and in innumerable instances have conferred practi cal benefits on the empire (Hear, hear.) I think there is no man here that will not agree with me in saying that we are - bound to make the greatest sacrifices to maintain those principles ; and the man that does not agree with me is un worthy of the cause he has adopted. (Hear.) The under taking in which we are engaged is of no small moment. It is of the most vital importance, and this must strike every man who recollects that our opponents are actuated by a spirit of the most determined hatred and hostility to this country. The spirit is now far stronger than it ever was be fore ; for the people in all parts of the country, at least in England, are stirred up by a parcel of men whom I may call politico-religious crusaders, who are going about from town to town misrepresenting us, and putting forward as facts as sertions that are most essentially opposed to truth and sense, and thus gulling the people. - (Hear, hear.") What may this impudent gabble really import ? What are " the principles of justice," in reference to Ireland, professed and acted on by the whigs ? The " principles" which the mountebanks now in office, along with the mountebanks of the " tail," were wont to style " the principles of justice," were the " princi ple" of the Municipal Corporation Bill, and other " principles" of the same stamp. But these principles are now abandoned ; and it is impossible to prove that any one of those "principles," the assumed necessity for asserting which led to the establishment of the Lichfield-House alliance, has ever been " carried out." No : the whigs have pocketed public money ; O'Con nell and his satellites have revelled in the patronage of Ireland ; and both O'Connell and the whigs have laughed at the simplicity of those who expected them to redeem the pledges which they gave in 1835. In so far as " principles" are concerned, the Irish Papists owe more to the conservative government which passed the Emancipation Act than to all the whig go vernments that ever existed. The ingratitude with which O'Connell and his gang have requited the fatal " concessions" of 1829 Is a natural consequence of that great mistake on the part of the Duke of Wel lington and of Sir Robert Peel. Grapes are not to be gathered from thistles. • The following observations by Lord Brabazon prove that the whigs are pretty conscious of the dangers that surround them. If their Popish body guard shall fail them, the present occupants of office feel that all is lost : " Gentlemen, remember that the very existence of the pre sent ministry, in consequence of the nicely balanced state of parties in the House of Commons, and the country generally, depend mainly, if not entirely, on the steady support, and upon the stability of that support they alone rely, which sends Irish members to Parliament—(hear, hear). On their sup port the ministry ,alone depends at this present moment, and it is therefore necessary for the constituencies of the country from one end of Ireland to the other, to put them and their return to Parliament in such a state of security as will place them beyond the- reach of danger—(hear, hear). By a little exertion, by timely energy they may place themselves and their representatives in such a position that all attacks, no matter from whence they come, will prove fruitless and lope less—(hear, hear). I ask you, gentlemen, is not that a game worth playing for? Is it not a a game worth contending for? Is it not a game for securing that which we should be all ready to make sacrifices for, however little or great they may be ?—(hear, hear.)" Assuredly, the "game" is worthy to be played by the Popish faction. The power of mal-administering the law in Ireland is of infinite importance to the im placable enemies of England. Mr. Sharman Crawford took part in this miserable exhibition. The worthy gentleman has evidently been compelled to succumb to the O'Connell influence. He prated, accordingly, in the most approved "liberal" fashion about the necessity of "union amongst all classes of reformers." The Duke of Leinster and the Earl of Charlemont sent an address to the people of Ireland—an address which expressed nothing but the determination of these noble persons to adhere to the whigs at all hazards. It were a pity if the whigs should lose such supporters at such a time ! The hero of the day was Daniel himself, He ad dressed the rabble before him in his customary style of brutality—of stupid, unredeemed brutality. The open ing sentences of this harangue furnish a fair specimen of its merits : " Mr. O'Connell then came forward. He was received with cheers. He said lam not able to speak, because lam extinguished. (Laughter.) Sure I was extinguished by the gin -drinking vagabonds of the London press. (Laughter.) Then as I am "extinguished, will you tell me what I am to do? Then, first, hurrah for old Ireland, and hurrah for the Queen. (Cheers.) Well, these hearty cheers bring me to life again, and I believe I must make a speech, though it shall be a short one ; and if I were an orator, as you all know I am not, there never was a period, in the history of these countries when it was more necessary to raise the voice of genuine oratory in support of universal rights than the present moment. (Cheers.)" If the " universal rights" of Ireland have yet to be established, what have Mr. O'Connell and his honest whig allies been about for five years past ? The second object of this Dublin meeting—the first being to impart a semblance of strength to the whigs —was blazoned by Daniel towards the close of his harangue. That object is to put pence into the mendi cant's pouch. Daniel is not the man to work for nothing. " The Protestants and Catholics have. united in working out the temperance cause, and yet the orange gang say there is some horrible conspiracy on foot—(a laugh). We mean to amalgamate the two associations, the Loyal Reform Asso ciation, to which I belong, and the Reform Registry Asso ciation, which meets in West mor l an d- s t ree t , an d o f which many o f the gentlemen present are members—(hear). Every man who pays a pound will be recognised as a member of the committee ; and none who can afford the sum, you may de pend, will refuse to give it. Then, all the members of Par liament and gentlemen of fortune connected with Ireland, but residing in England, will be appointed members of a com mittee to sit in England, and then we shall be enabled, five or six of us, to go to Lord Palmerston and other noble lords to ascertain whether their agents in Ireland are bringing up their tenants to register—(hear, hear). We will write from London to every proprietor among the liberal interest in Ire land. From Donegal to Kerry we will stir them up with a long pole—(laughter). We will thus get up an association, 'in which shall be combined persons of various shades of opi nion —(hear, hear). Many causes lead to slight differences of opinion. I, myself, hold opinions differing from persons of unsuspected patriotism. I mean, therefore, to move that an association be formed in which all persons paying one pound, and all members of the two societies already formed, will be admitted. The honourable gentleman then read the names of the finance committee and the rules of the proposed society, and concluded by saying, thus we will get the screw on all reluctant persons ; for I have ever remarked that some people are never so patriotic as when their patriotism and interest run in the same channel—(hear). This association will prove a stumbling block in the way of hypocritical Peel, and it will frustrate the plots and defeat the machinations of the daring - Bradshaws and Robys--(cheers)." The " pounds" of which Daniel speaks will, we ven ture to predict, prove marvellously few. The whole affair, regarded in the light of an attempt to get up a demonstration in favour of the Whigs must be pro nounced a signal failure. On the following day, a "re form banquet" was given; and there, too, O'Connell was the leading orator. His speech at the banquet was even worse than his speech at the meeting of the previous day. The man is, in fact, a driveller, who endeavours, by the most brutal scurrility, to compen sate for the decay of powe'rs, never of a high order. THE WEST INDIES.-EDUCATION OF THE NEGROES. ( Guiana Chronicle. We have bee F n m ront uch the struck by th obse r vations of the Editor of the " Grenada Free Press," in a recent number of that journal. They call the attention of the Executive and the House of Assembly, to the immoral language habi tually indulged in, in the open streets, by the lately emanci pated classes. Obscene and ribald discourse, mingled with blasphemy and curses,-seem to pervade their ordinary inter course. Who is there here, who will not say that such con duct finds a counterpart in this colony ? Go into the mar kets, or even listen to them when strolling through our streets in the evening, and language the most disgusting to every pure mind falls continually on the ear. No parent is . safe in entrusting a child to their care, for if he do, the infant m ind, accastomed to gross expressions, gradually loses all refinement, and a moral prostitution of intellect is sure to be the consequence. How is this to be remedied ? By a LAW, says the Editor of the Free I'ress. 'We do not agree with the writer. A law may slightly check, but. cannot suppress, such immorality. We look to a higher source, and point to a system of NA TIONAL EDUCATION. 1 " Educate but do not hang them," said Mr. still l u r l e e p li t n e feignorancewto death." a i t s h g . ge nerally the precursor of crimwe,haondliv'e`dcriinnietilnieaeds not I w ith siviuuioisemsburtri a blem u essaych t that a o t n i sP worthy°r l4 w o s t. : r e w fl o e r o d t s i 0 , though : fur rude, D prre ' ic t eo v ii: e ,pe n lde a s nt o , f very fa free - government, thus expresses opinion that a people should be con tinuede so i . f ro n u o s ran j ce . , is a maxim sounding like the little si r l . a te b slt W f l y e ne:i nto i o t i l f o t l i "The a t ln. m h the principles e that is a statesman only by birth or beard, and 115 place by exactly the ingre'd' _ In no single at present in progress doms are made, and the most momentous, materially affect us.

' The maxim that seem to have place in some minds (witnessniinorance," as would in a late English paper for labourers, Wherein an advertisement that a " preference will be given to those it is announced read nor write:), will not be maintain:dw i h n o can neither where the rulers are conscious of good intentions, trustcoutry in the intrinsic value of the institutions which it is their to sustain. For they well know. that the best in•iorddut y strengthening those institutions, is to make the p eople e s of how closely their own well-being is connected With the sta bility of the state, and thus render them " wise to obedience." The tide of immigration is daily turning to this colony :' people who understand not our, nor each other's language, will ere long crowd upon us. How will the complicated rules of society be observed in this Babel-like confusion of tongues? No amalgamation with the natives of this conti nent, or the rescued African, can take place without the sympathy of a general oral communication. How can the mutual jealousies likely to arise from this non-intercourse be remedied, if the new denizens of our state have no common " store of knowledge," whence they can attain a mastery of the language of those with whom their fate is to be for ever cast? But, independent of this politic argument in favour of education, there is another as powerful, namely, the present immorality of our people, and which, we think, education would most certainly remedy. Look at the " penal gang," as it passes through our streets! Does one single man exhibit the slightest sense of his degradation, or compunc tion for the crime which produced it ? No : with him the moral effect of the punishment is lost, because he knows not shame, and the penalty he pays is only appreciated by him in proportion to the amount of labour to which he is con demned. Would this be the result if the negro were educated ? As suredly no. Instruction would produce a feeling of sensi bility, and many a crime now looked upon without a fear of mental abasement, or without reference to the opinions of his fellows, would then be avoided with horror. We have thrown out these few observations in the hope, that the subject of National Education may be taken •up by more influential persons, and in the desire that the attention of our Legislature may be directed towards it. It is a sub ject more important than at first sight appears, for its effects are not only immediate, but prospective. We are too fond of living in the remembranee of the past, and not looking forward to the future. To dwell with the past is the mistake of him who, avoiding the living realities of this world, so journs in the misty region of his own abstractions. In the language of the celebrated Dr. Phelan, " To watch and pro vide for those silent influences which. time is continually shedding ; to correct irregularities, some as they arise, others in their causes ; to make every new measure a liberal ana logy from the past, and a safe precedent for the future, and thus, while the parts are in unceasing flow, to secure the continued stability of the system. These are the noblest cares of a statesman—the cares which approach nearest to the plastic energy of Providence, ' reaching mightily from one end to the other, and sweetly ordering all things.' " MR. VILLIERS ON THE CORN LAWS. (Front the Farmer's Journal.) Mr. Villiers being the recognised leader of the anti-corn law party in the House of Commons, the sayings and doings of the honourable gentleman, in regard to the great question of free trade in corn, possess at all times considerable im portance. A dinner was given to him a few days ago, by his Wolverhampton constituents ; and on that occasion he in dulged, after his accustomed fashion, in invective against the agricultural " monopoly." We desire to weigh the value of his statements : " He alluded to those silly and selfish laws (loud cheers), that proposed to regulate the price and quantity of our food, and which regulation had been made by those whose incomes depended on that price. (Cheers.) He must consider those laws a perversion of the powers of the state for selfish pur poses (cheers) ; and it was they, and not the people, who discredited the legislature by maintaining laws so selfish in object—so unsound in principle, which were, beyond all possibility of question, injurious to the community—which each year received their condemnation by the further evil which they annually produced, and which evil, annually in creasing in intensity, at length presented the country in its present condition. (Loud cheers.") Mr. Villiers proceeds to charge on the corn-laws, the re cent derangement of the currency ; and then observes : " Will they who defend the corn-laws venture to repeat the foolish falsehood that this limited territory is adequate to the supply of food for its constantly increasing people—cries of " No, no"—and will they speculate upon the results of trusting to this - untruth, when the consequences are bringing misery and ruin to every man's door, and leaving no man in doubt of their policy. (Cheers.) For what is the effect of restricting the intercourse with the food-growing countries, and being cast in utter dependence on these home producers ? Why that, in our emergency, they were obliged to send out their money to buy up at great cost other men's food. (Cheers.) And when they got the food, in what plight were they without their money ? (Hear, hear.) Why, like a car penter who had pledged his tools for bread ?—when his bread is gone how is he to earn more without his tools? (Cheers.) What then does he do ? Why he is then obliged to sell up all he has, his household goods, to get back his tools, and ha§ to endure, for this purpose, great privation and distress— (cheers)—and this is the position at this time of the country." (Hear.) Mr. Villier's charges against the corn-laws resolve them selves into the following points :—The soil of England is in sufficient to feed the population of England. The corn-laws derange the currency, by compelling, from time to'time, the exportittion of large quantities of bullion in exchange for foreign corn: The corn-laws, therefore, act upon the condi tion of the English operative, as if they should compel him to pawn his tools ! In reply '6 the assertion that the soil of England is insuffi cient to feed the population of England, it might be sufficient to advance a single counter-assertion on the subject. It might be no difficult matter, moreover, to establish that England possesses many millions of acres uncultivated—a vast amount of capital lacking profitable investment—together with a ` surplus population craving employment. Until the energies of the unemployed population, and the " fructifying" power of the unemployed capital shall be brought to bear up on the uncultivated land, it will be unsafe, especially for a " philosopher" of the stamp of Mr. Villiers, to pronounce that the soil of England is unable to sustain in comfort all the inhabitants of England! What reasoners like Mr. Villiers really mean, when they allege that the soil of England is unable to feed the popula tion of England, is—that if the land were fully cultivated, and the population fully employed at remunerating wages, our modern system of foreign trade would. be annihilated. England, in other words, cannot fully Cultivate her soil, and employ her population, unless her foreign trade, as now con ducted, shall be abandoned ! When so shaped, Mr. Villier's proposition is true. So costry to England—so destructive of national happinessis that foreign trade, to which Mr. Vil liers would sacrifice all the more profitable varieties of na tive industry ! Let us, however, place in yet another point of view, Mr. Villier's assertion, that the soil of England is unable to feed the population of England ! Does Mr. Villiers forget that he, and the other leaders of the anti-corn law party are in the habit of tauntin. , the agri culturists' of England 'with the " distress" of which farmers and landlords complained some_ years ago—that " distress" being adduced by the advocates of free trade as a proof that the corn laws do not protect the English farmer ? But was there, let us ask, contemporaneously with the " distress" in question, any complaint that the soil of England did not pro duce enough to sustain the population of England ? Or ra ther, did not the " distress" of the years alluded to prove, that the farmers of England extracted more from the soil than the people of England could afford to pay for ? And if the surplus production of the years 1833, 1834, 1835, and 1836 had been stored up, in order to meet the deficiencies of the last two hafvests, will Mr. Villiers venture to allege that there would have existed any necessity for introducing five millions of quarters of foreign wheat into England within the last eighteen months ? On the average of years, therefore, even under 'the des tructive influences of our prevailing system of foreign trade, the soil of England is proved to be sufficient to feed her po pulation. Abetter system is, it is true, required, in .order to bring the surplus of one year in aid of the deficiency of another ; but the want of that better system is, clearly enough, not to be assumed as an objection against the prin ciple of the corn laws. _ _ _ 'lf, again, as we have already shown, the capital and the industry of England could be fairly brought to bear upon the uncultivated soil of England (and the only obstacle to such an arrangement is our system of foreign trade !), England might, with ease, sustain a population twice as dense as her present population ! But the corn laws have, according to Mr. Villiers, derang ed the currency ! The charge may be safely denied. The currency has been deranged because we have been called on to pay for foreign wheat in gold ; and if a free trade in corn were established to-morrow—and if the basis of that trade should be an ex change of English manufactures for continental wheat—still, whenever a dearth should make itself felt in the country with which we might deal, then, as now, would arise the necessity of sending abroad English gold in exchange for the wheat of some country on which we should not, even on the assump tions of the advocates of free trade, habitually depend for food. A free trade in corn, therefore, would obviously not pre serve our currency from occasional derangement ; nor will any other system than that which we have hinted—the system of storinr, up the super-abundant produce of one year to meet the deficiencies of another—the system, in short, of elevating England above dependence on the harvest of each successive season—prevent the recurrence of such an exportation of the precious metals, as that, from the effects of which, the trade of Englang suffers at the present moment. If, when wheat should fall in the home market to a certain price, it became the business of government to buy ; and if, on the other hand, when wheat should rise to a certain price, it became the business of government to sell, England would be ren dered absolutely necessary and at all times independent on foreign countries for her supplies of food ; and the currency of England would be preserved from that ruinous derange ment to which it is now liable. Mr. Villiers, as we have seen, waxes figurative, as he dis cusses the Corn-law question. lie alleges that the Corn laws, by driving gold abroad, act upon the operative, as if they should compel him t o p awn hi s t oo l s f or b rea d —the gold of England representing in Mr. Villiers's simile the tools of the operative ! _ We have already shown that the Corn.laws do not drive gold abroad : and, as to the metaphorical reasoning of Mr. Villiers, it seems to us liable to the charge of being confused ! When Mr. Villiers alleges that money represents the tools of the operative, and describes the payment of-money as the infliction on the operative of a severe hardship, does Mr. Villiets mean to insinuate that the operative ought to receive bread 'wit hout,paylng for it 1 Or does Mr. Villiers mean to prove, that the hardship in question consists in the payment of money to the foreign gro wer , ra th er th an to t h e English ? Such is, undoubtedly, Mr. Villiers's meaning ; but that meaning being admitted, Mr. Villiers's argument resolves itself into an argument in favour of home trade, rather than of trade with foreigners ! • Mr. Villiers is a person of respectable talents ; but let him avoid reasoning by the aid of rhetorical figures. The figures of arithmetic, he will find to press with severity enough against his arguments in favour of free trade ! THE ARCHBISHOP. OF DUBLIN AND THE REV. T. D. GREGG. The public have learned, with some surprise, that the Archbishop of Dublin has, by an ecclesiastical inhibition, prevented the Rev. T. D. Gregg from preaching in the parish church of Lucan on Sunday last. This inhibition has led to the further proceeding, on the part of Mr. Gregg, of resign ing the Chaplaincy of Swift's-alley, which he had occupied, without episcopal molestation, for above three years; mid where, though not licensed, yet by the tacit permiision of the Archbishop, he.has lawfully preached the Gospel, accord ing to the ritual of the Established Church. Proceedings of such a kind are always harsh and repugnant to the good feel ings of society ' • in this case they are aggravated by th e l eng th of time in which, without censure and by acquiescence of his ordinary, Mr. Gregg has discharged his pastoral functions in the diocese. There is no motive assigned ; but as it is known Mr. Gregg was to have preached at Lucan a controversial ea s sermon,ona l o y hale nthe doctrines imputed rineso fPotopearyn, unwillingness il th g ib n i e t s io s n o m n t ig le h i t part of the Archbishop to have such topics discussed, had not his Grace himself been amenable to Roman Catholic ' censure for a similar offence, and become by his writings a standard controversial authority on the errors of Popery. The correspondence laid before the public on this discus sion is too meagre to justify repetition. The ac t o f di sm i ssa l ,is purely arbitrary ; the absence of episcopal license," though a good ground of power will prove but a bad apology for its abuse, if such should appear to be the case. To the credit of Mr. Gregg we mention, that in honest adherence to his principles as a churchman, he has submit ted, without reservation, to the authority of the diocesan or dinary. Under such a censure as implied in the inhibition to preach at Lucan, he did not conceive he could consistently with his vows and duty, or with benefit to his congregatio n , retain his appointment to the church in Swift's-alley —and he has ac c o r di ng ly resigned his chaplaincy.—Dub lin Even_ mg Mail. SECOND EDITION. Standard Office, Eight o'Clock, a.m MEETING OF PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS-YESTERDAY. Her Majesty opened the Session of Parliament yesterday with a Speech from the Throne. At an early hour the carriages of the nobility and those who had obtained orders of admission into the body of the House of Lords and the Painted Chamber began to arrive in rapid succession. The ladies were all in full court dress. Parliament-street and the whole line of road leading from Buckingham Palace, prcsented the usual animated scene, and shortly before the Royal procession passed, the streets were much crowded. Shortly before two o'clock her Majesty entered her state carriage, accompanied by the great officers of state and the household, and proceeded to the House of Lords in the usual form. The road was lined with the First Regiment of the Guards. A discharge of cannon announced her Majesty's arrival, and a few minutes afterwards the Queen, attended by all the great officers of state, entered the house, and took her seat on the throne. The house at this time presented a brilliant spectacle. , Her Majest y having desired the Peers present to be seated ordered the Usher of the Black Rod to summon the Conn mons. In a few minutes the Members of the Commons headed by the Speaker, appeared at the bar, when her Ma. jesty delivered the following most gracious Speech : THE QUEEN'S SPEECH. " My Lords and Gentlemen, " Since you were last assembled, I have declared my in tention of allying myself in marriage with the Prince Albert of Saxe Coburg and Gotha. I humbly implore that the Di vine blessing may prosper the union, and render it conducive to the interests of my people, as well as to my own domestic happiness, and it will be to me a source of the most lively satisfa . ction to find the resolution I have taken approved by my parliament. " The constant proofs which I have received of your at tachment to my person and family. persuade ~ m e that you will enable me to provide for such an establishment as . may. appear suitable to the rank of the Prince and the dignity of the Crown. " I continue to receive from foreign powers assurances of their unabated desire to maintain with me the most friendly relations. " I rejoice that the civil war which had so long disturbed and desolated the northern provinces of Spain, has been brought to an end by an arrangement satisfactory to the Spanish government, and to the people of those provinces ; and I trust that, ere long, peace and tranquillity will be re established throughout the whole of Spain. " The affairs of the Levant have continued to occupy my most anxious attention. The concord which has privailed amongst the Five Powers has prevented a renewal of hosti lities in that quarter, and I hope that the same unanimity will bring these important and difficult matters to a final settlement in such a manner as to uphold the integrity and independence of the Ottoman Empire, and to give additional security to the peace of Europe. " I have not yet been enabled to re-establish my diploma tic relations with the Court of Teheran, but communications which I have lately received from the Persian government inspire me with the confident expectation that the differences which occasioned a suspension of those relations will soon be satisfactorily adjusted. " Events have happened in China which have occasioned an interruption of the commercial intercourse of my subjects with that country. I have given, and shall continue to give, the most serious attention to a matter so deeply affect ing the interests of my subjects and the dignity of my Crown. " I have great satisfaction in acquainting you that the military operations undertaken by the Governor-general of India have been attended with complete success ; and that in the expedition to the westward of the Indus, the officers and troops, both European and native, have displayed the most distinguished skill and valour. " I have directed that further papers relating to the affairs of Canada should be laid before you, and I confide to your wisdom this important subject. " I recco►nmend to your early attention the state of the municipal corporations of Ireland. " It is. desirable that you should prosecute those measures relating to the Established Church which have been recom mended by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners of England. " Gentlemen of the Howie of Commons, " I have directed the estimates for the services of the year to be laid before you. They have been framed with every attention to economy, and at the same tinle with'a due re gard to the efficiency of those establishments which are ren dered necessary by the extent and circumstances of the 1 empire. ". I have lost no time in carrying into effect the intentions of parliament by the reduction of the duties on postage, and I trust that the beneficial effects of this measure will be felt throughout all classes of the community. - " My Lords and Gentlemen, " 1 -learn with great sorrow that the commercial em barrassments which have taken place in this and in other countries, are subjecthig many of the manufacturing districts to severe distress, ." I have to accitutint you, with deep concern, that the spi rit of insubordination . has in some parts of the country broke out into open violence, which was speedily repressed by the firmness and energy of the magistrates, and by the steadiness and good conduct of my troops. " I confidently rely upon the power of the law, upon your loyalty and wisdom, and upon the good sense and right feel ing of my people, for the maintenance of order, the protec tion of property, and the promotion, as far as they can be promoted by human means, of the true interests of Europe." The house again met at five o'clock. — The LORD CHANCELLOR read her Majesty's most gracious Speech. It was afterwards read by one of the clerks at the table. The Duke of SOMERSET that moved the address to the Crown, which was seconded by Lord SEAIORD. The Duke of WELLINGTON said, that he entirely con curred with the observations of the two noble lords who had addressed the house respecting the marriage of the Sovereign; and he was certain that a proper and liberal allowance would be made by parliament for the Prince. He could not help saying, however, that the country ought to know something more of that Prince than his name. (Hear.) He was one of the privy council when the Queen announced her intention of allying herself in marriage with that Prince. The prece dent of the marriage of George the Third was adhered to in every respect save one (hear); no mention was made of the Protestant religion. (Hear, hear.) 'He was satisfied that the illustrious 'Prince alluded to was a Protestant (hear); but why was it not stated? (Hear, hear.) If he is a . Protestant, why was it not so stated? Lord MELBOURNE then proceeded to reply to the noble lord. lIOUSE OF COMMONS.-YESTERDAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at a quarter before four o'clock. The attendance of members at the commencement of business was not very numerous, but the house was crowded before five o'clock. NEW MEMBERS. The following Members took the oaths and their seats : Mr. Manners. Sutton, for the borough of Cambridge ; Lord Claude Hamilton, for Tyrone ; Mr. Gregg, for Manchester ; Mr. F. Baring (Chancellor of the Exchequer), for Ports mouth ; and Mr. Wyse, for Waterford. NEW WRITS. New writs were ordered for the following places :—Daven port, in the room of Sir E. Codrington ; Birmingham, in the room of Mr. T. 'Atwood, who has accepted the Chiltern Hundreds ; and Edinburgh, in the room of Mr. Macauley, appointed Secretary at War. On the writ being moved, Mr. D'IsRAELI rose and said, that on the day of the pro rogation of the last session of parliament. he had upon what principles of the new Cabinet would be constructed, and he now begged to ask upon what principles it herd been construct ed. (Hear, hear.) He thought the present a very proper opportunity for giving the required explanations. Since the Reform Act passed 12 members of the Cabinet had left it, and lie was really at a loss to know who were her Majesty's ministers. (A laugh.) Perhaps the Cabinet ministers would hold up their hands. (Laughter.) He now repeated the question, and hoped he should get an answer. The SPEA KER then put the question that the writ be issued, which was agreed to without opposition. New writs were also ordered for Penryn, Newark, South wark, Meath, Denbigh, and Beverley. WANT OF CONFIDENCE IN MINISTERS. Sir J. Y. Bur.t.mt gave notice that on Tuesday, the 28th inst., he would move a resolution declaring the want of con fidence on the part of the house in the present administration. (Loud cheers.) BREACH OF PRIVILEGE.—STOCKDALE V. HANSARD. Lord J. RUSSELL felt great regret that it should be his duty to interpose between the Speaker reading her Majesty's Speech and the house taking it into consideration, but in the discharge of his duty as a Cabinet minister, and a member of that house, he could not avoid it. A petition from Messrs. Hansards had been placed hi his hands, which was of so im portant a character that, without at present going into other details, he should at on c e move that it be read. The 'petition from Messrs. Hansards, setting forth the whole of the' proceedings in the action brought by Mr. Stockdale against Messrs. Hansards for libel, was then read at length by the clerk ; and, on the motion of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, Mr. James Luke Hansard was called to the bar, and deli vered in certain papers connected with the proceedings. Lord J. RUSSELL then said it was incumbent on the house not to lose any time in coming to a decision on the impor tant question, the importance of which every member must be aware of. In whatever way the house treated the ques tion, one thing was quite clear, that the house could not re main in its present position. They might proceed-in various ways ; but the course which he apprehended would be the best was; that which had been taken on former occasions with great effect, viz. the committal of the parties who had invaded the privileges of the house. (Hear, hear.) The noble lord, after some further observations, moved that to morrow the following persons be summoned to appear at the bar of the house.:—Mr. John Joseph Stockdale—(hear, hear)- . ---Mr. J. Burton Hayward, his • attorney ; W. Evans, Esq., and J. Wheelton, Esq., Sheriffs of London and Mid dlesex (hear) ; Mr. T. Clarkson, and Mr. Burchell, Under Sheriffs (hear); and Mr. Kemp, the bailiff, who executed the whit of execution against the goods of Messrs. Hansards. (From a Correspondent of the London Standard.) This morning a numerous meeting of the Conservative members of the House of Commons took place at the re sidence of Sir Robert Peel in Privy Gardens, and it is gene rally reported amongst well-informed persons, that it has been determined upon not moving an amendment to the Ad dress, unless some event at present unforeseen should occur in the course of the debate to render 'such a proceeding necessary ; but it is supposed that Sir Robert Peel will give notice of a motion during the evening; which must shortly test the strength of ministers in the House of Commons. &hipping Intelligente.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JAN, 15. The Cotton market has to-day been very dull, and the sales only amount to 2500 bags. Holders continue to offer freely, even at a decline of fully 4d per lb on last week's prices, and still the trade, whose attendance has to-day been very small, are reluctant buyers at the decline. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET, JAN. 10. (From the Circular of Messrs. James Scott and Son.) By a minute investigation into the imports of Grain and Flour in the three months ending 31st ult. compared with those in the same period of the year 1838, there is a great deficiency in the im ports of Wheat, Flour, Barley, and Oats from Ireland—the Wheat Coastways is about 3-4ths Foreign from London and Hull; of Flour from America our supplies have considerably increased. Our stocks of free Grain are much less than at this period last year, estimated at this date at about 50,000 quarters Wheat,•abont 18,000 barrels and sacks of Flour, about 45,000 quarters of Oats, and 40,000 loads of Oatmeal ; in bond here, about 35,000 quarters Wheat, and about 95,000 barrels of Flour; of all other Grain, free or in bond, very trivial;—although quotations in our circulars for Wheat are nearly the same, the averages in the Gazette are about 15s per quarter lower than in this week last year, chiefly owing to the very bad quality of the new; of other articles not much difference. The weather for winter seed time has been very bad all last month ; constant rain, no frost or Snow up to the sth instant, since which we have had six days of severe frost, without snow, which im mediately succeeding a very wet clay, cannot be favourable for re cently sown Wheat, and a vast deal of winter Wheat must be sown farther on in the season, the consequencei of which render pros pects for another harvest not very satisfactory. The new Irish Wheat is very bad, and although we may expect large supplies of Wheat and Flour from America, and also from the ports of the Baltic and Mediterranean in the spring, we must remember that the ac cumulated stocks of previous years In Europe were pretty well exhausted last year, and we shall require large supplies of Foreign Grain to prevent an advance, greater than we anticipated, before another harvest:—we believe this season will prove as favourable as the last for Importers of Grain from Foreign ports ;—more sanguine expectations appear now generally to prevail that some material modification will be made in the Corn Laws early in the present Session of Parliament; on this subject we have often expressed our ideas—particularly in our Harvest Letter of the 12th November last, to which we steadily adhere. During the past week, notwithstanding the prevalence of easterly winds, the import of Oats and Oatmeal from Ireland, and of Wheat, chiefly Foreign, from Ports Coastwise, has been rather considerable, and the demand has been so languid, that purchases might have been made of any article in the trade at a small decline.—The only alteration iu the duties this week is an increase on Oats and Beans of Is ad per quarter.—Some parcels of American Flour, in bond, have changed hands at a decline of 3d to ad per barrel, and the recent account of a reduction of half a dollar in America may cause a temporary depression here. The supplies to this day's market have been very considerably increased by arrivals yesterday of Wheat and Flour from America, and also Coastways and from Ireland;—our demand here having thus been so greatly exceeded, sales were very languid, and to a very moderate eiteut, at'd decline of sd to 4d per 701 b on Wheat, 6d to Is per barrel on Flour, Id per 451 b on Oats,—and every article in the trade participated in this temporary depression ;—it is not possible to state prices correctly.
