Lord Derby, it will be seen, was kind enough
to receive. a deputation, at his private residence,
in London, on Saturday, to present the petition
agreed upon at the late meeting at. St. Martin's
Hail, against any interference by the House of
Lords with the repeal of the paper duty. The
inoble lord is reported to have patiently listened to
remonstrances from several members of the depu-
tation against the part he had declared his inten-
tion to pursue on that questidn; but he repeated
his determination to support Lord Monteagle's
motion against the, repeal; upon financial gEottilds,
being more than ever convinced that the country

The mail steamship Africa, from New York,
arrived in the Mersey yesterday, with four dais'
later news—namely, to the 9th instant. 'There
is no political intelligence of any interest to us on
''this side of the Atlantic. The leading politicians
of -all the different parties were still keeping'up
the excitement on the presidential election; but
nothing definite Was done as,to 'candidates, The

astronomers to some point where the pelipse can
be best observed.
An important meeting of the ti'verpoOl'6ham-
'her of:Commeree, was held on Saturday, of which
-a full report will :be found in another column.
This meeting was called chiefly for the purpose
of considering Lord Monteagle's motion for the
rejection of the Paper Duty,Repeal Bill, which,
conies on for discussion in the,House of Lards this
eN4,ening. The-requisition for thismeeting was at
the instance of certain well-known Radicals, who
got it up, doubtless, with the view of perverting
the influence of the Chamber to political party
purposes, in which, however, fortunately for the
future usefulness Of this 'excellent institution,
they signally failed. The meeting determined
that, although the'Consideration of such a ques-
tion might not, under certain circumstances, b

sent it was altogether inexpedient to take any
action in the matter WhiCh might bettnisconAirjd

bate, although eonfined chiefly te questions of
order and expediency, was characte'rised by much
calm good sense and undeniable, ability on both
sides. „
