FR OM THE LONDON GAZETTE, IVou. 2.

that we should learn a lesson from this great movement
which is about to terminate, and that we ought, if we
can, during our generation, to make the course of our
children, and of their children, easier in procuring such
political amelioration and changes as the circumstances
of the country may require. (Cheers.) The patriotism
of our day does not consist in the destruction of monar-
chies or the change of dynasties. Our fathers wrested
the institution of an annual Parliament from unwilling
and despotic monarchs. Be it ours—and I speak to
those who can do it if we will it (cheers)—be it ours to
wrest a real House of Commons from a haughty no-
bility, and to secure the lasting greatness of this nation
on the broad foundations of a tree Parliament and a free
people. (Loud and enthusiastic cheering.).
Mr. BAZELEY proposed the next sentiment, " The
Irish members present ; may the industry of Ireland
flourish," which was received with great cheering.
Mr. KEOGH said it was very important on the part of
the United Kingdom to have the verdict of the Irish
members ascertained upon the questions of Free-trade,
and this fur many reasons, and not the least because of
the conduct, of the present men who now composed her
Majesty's Government ; for, at the time the great battle
was successfully fought, efforts were made in that por-
tion of the country to turn away the attention of the
people from the voice of those who advised them for
their great advantage, and no shift, or cunning, or arti-
fice was left unpractised to deceive his follow-country-
men less practised in political knowledge, by playing
upon their seeming interest, in order to induce them to
join with a factions oligarchy in a conspiracy to cheat
the people of Great Britain out of their rights. Not-
withstanding the sophism resorted to on that oc-
casion, he could proudly boast of their conduct,
and he ached the representatives of Manches-
ter and others present whether, in this great
struggle, the Irish members or people deserted them
in the contest. (Cheers, and cries of "No 1") The Hon.
Member then alluded to the arts used on the accession
of the present Government to power to form a minority
into a majority of the House of Commons, and then
asked what position the country would have been placed
in now if Ireland had returned 65 members to consider
what Mr. Disraeli called the " irresistible" claims of that
portion of her Majesty's dominions. (Hear.) But he
was happy to say that he believed three-fourths of the
representatives of Ireland wore as determined as any
men in that room to stand—(cheers)—through weal and
through woo, despite all calumny and obloquy, against
any attempt again to tax the food of the people of this
country. (Loud cheering.) This being the case, their
position was perfectly secure. After referring to the
conduct of the present Government, he said that the
Irish Members were charged with sympathizing with
tyranny and despotism, but he was there to declare that
they sympathized with no tyranny abroad, and they
obeyed no tyranny at home. (Here the whole company
rose, and the cheering and waving of handkerchiefs lasted
for some time.) Having long experienced, under the
rigime far which they were not answerable, crushing de-
spotism themselves, they must be as bereft of mind as
devoid of feeling it they sympathized with any one that
tyrannised over the bodies or the consciences of men.
(Great cheering.)
Mr. BERILELEY, M.P. for Bristol, responded, and said
he had to express the great indebtedness which the
people of Bristol felt for the exertions made by the
Anti-Corn-law League through a succession of years,
in placing a great question on its proper footing in their
ancient city. He then proceeded to show that the
repeal of the Corn-laws had so operated upon the inde-
pendence of the people of Bristol, and was of so much
interest to them that, though upon two occasions, in
1837 and 1841, ho had been returned as their represen-
tative by small majorities only—in 1841 it was only
sixty in a constituency of 10,000—yet in 1847, when Sir
Robert Peel had placed his policy before the country, he
(Mr. Berkeley) was returned as a Free-trader by a
majority of 1,700, and at the last election the son of
Colonel Gore Langton, an old reformer, was sent as his
colleague, the first time for a long period that Bristol
had sent two reformers. He advocated the ballot as a
necessity in rill free elections.
Mr. MILNER Gansuel proposed "Free Trade ; the
best interest of all nations." The Right Honourable
Gentleman said they had the satisfaction of knowing
that Free-trade had supporters now in nearly all
civilized nations, and in the United States he believed
this was the very day when he hoped a large majority
of the people of that country would elect a Free-trade
president, and thus settlo finally and irrevocably in that
country, this great question, he entirely concurred with
Cubden that some decided course should bo taken at

the earliest possible period of the approaching Parlia-
ment to bring the Ministers to an emphatic avowal of
their present opinions, and their future intentions, upo❑
that question; and as Mr. Cobden and his friends were
about to be declared to be in the right, he thought they
should have some hand in dictating the terms of the
apology. Ho would be satisfied with nothing less tha❑
that the Minister of the Crown should avow that the
admission of foreign corn into this country had been a
great and beneficial policy, and ought to be maintained.
(Cheers.) They had a precedent to protect them in
me course which it was expected Mr. Cobden would
take, at an early period in the coming Parliament,
of moving a distinct resolution which must bring
Ministers to book; for when an appeal was made to the
country in 1841, upon the question of Protection, and a
Protectionist majority was returned, an amendment was
moved on the address to the Crown, pledging the Com-
mons to act in harmony with the wishes of the people.
Let Mr Cobden tell the House what Mr Stuart Wortley
told them then. Let him Pay, " You have appealed to
'he, country upon the question of Free-trade. I am the
Member for the largest constituency in the country, and
I call upon you to declare your principles on that slab-
ket." (Cheers.)
Lord GODERICII responded to a sentiment asserting
the universality of the application or Free-trade prin-
ciples. He proceeded to say that our Government might
say they wou!d not interfere with the policy* of Free-
trade, and some of the constituencies might believe them;
but what would be the feeling of foreig❑ nations when
they saw a Protectionist Government in office? Why,
it would be impossible to persuade them that this country
adhered us firmly as ever to Free•trade principles
(Hear, hear.) Again, it was said by apologists of the
Ministry that they did not intend to reverse Free-trade.
But that vi as not enough. (Hear, bear.) They must
not only not go back, but they must be prepared to go
forward before the people could trust them. (Cheers.)
Mr CHEETIIAM, the new member for South Lanca-
shire, next brit fly addressed the meeting, after which the
proceedings terminated.

retang.
To-day there was firmness in the West India Sugar
nalrket, the rates obtained being fully equal to those of
Friday for both grocery and refining qualities. There
was, however, only a limited demand, and purchases
amoubt?d to 500 hhds, including at auction 270 hhds
Barbadoes, which went at the full worth—low to mid-
dling yellow at 34s to 363, good to fine 378 to 393 per
cwt. _ _

REFINED.—There is much firmness in the market for
Refined Sugar, and the home trade demand has been 11C-
tivp, brown lumps at 45s to 45s 6d, tittlers, low to fine 45s
6il to 49 6i, double 50s to sk, flambro Loaves 46s to 51s,

gar, and rates closed firmly at 45s to 46s 6d for brown
lumps, 46s to 483 for low to fine grocery lunar. Crushed

advance. _ _ .

The Assemblee Nationale, in an article on religious
liberty, notices as follows the recent condemnation of
Madiai and his wife in Tuscany :

" The Catholic Governments of the South of Europe
are right in being on their guard against the mem:cures
of the revolutionary spirit, but they should take great
care that public opinion in Europe cannot mistake
the veritable character of the repression to which
they have recourse. They must not subject
themselves to being accused of violating con-
sciences, and on that account we deplore the judg-
ment of the Court of Florence ,which condemns Tuscan
subjects to hard labour for the simple fact of having em •
braced the Protestant religion. We cm understand the
caution which this condemnation has produced in Eng-
land and Protestant countries. Prussia and England
have, it appears. complained to the Government of the
Grand Duke of Tuscany. It is true that this Government
might have replied to England that it had not demanded
from it account of the iniquitous condemnation of Dr.
Newman in the Achilli case. But the iniquity of the
judgment of the Court of Queen's Bench does not excuse
the judgment of the Tribunal of Florence. These two
sentences wound the sanctity of Christian truth, and the
sentiment of honour of all honest people."
The warmest friends of the Elysee profit by every
occasion to remove the idea of any warlike inten-
tion on the part of the President, not merely with
reference to the Turkish question, but with refer-
ence to European affairs generally. They seem
to be quite certain, that, with respect to questions
of European interest, the more or less absolute
maintenance of the treaties of 1815, &c., they
will have sufficient influence for the convoca-
tion of an European Congress, when, they add, all
such matters may be settled a l' aiwable ; but they
seem very earnest in repudiating hostile intentions.
Such is the substance of their contr./nation on all oc-
casions when the topic is started.
Notwithstanding the extensive repairs now going
on at the Palace of the Tuileries, it is believed that
the President even when Emperor will not give up
the Elysee ; it will continue to be his residence when
in Paris, and the Tuileries will only be used for
State occasions and official receptions. In the new
Corps of Guides in course of organization, Captain de
Toulongeon will, it is stated, enter as Chef d'Esca-
dron. There are, or were very lately, only 60 vacan-
cies for officers, and for these places I am assured that
not less than 600 demands have been sent in.

Prince Callimaki, the Turkish Ambassador, has
received his letters of recal.

GERMANY.

The deputation from the Prussian army sent to
attend the funeral of the Duke of Wellington will
consist of a General who commanded a corps at Wa-
terloo, two Adjutants, the Colonel, and several officers
of the 28th Regiment of the Line, of which the late
Duke was the chief. Many other officers who were
present at Waterloo have offered to attend the funeral,
even if not appointed officially, but it is uncertain
whether it will be permitted; it is understood that
both the English and Prussian Governments wish to
avoid anything that might appear a national or po-
litical demonstration, or convert a solemnity into an
expression of hostile feeling.
A court-martial at Schleswig has found one of the
Danish officers who entered the service of the Pro•
visional Government in 11-18, Captain von Wasiner,
guilty of high treason and rebellion. The Criminal
Code of the Duchies has not been revised like that of
Prussia and other German States, and retains many
of the ancient penalties of the Code of Charles the
Fifth ; the sentence on Captai❑ von Wasrner, there-
fore, appears very inhuman, though only a degree
more so than the punishment the law of England
awards to the same crime. The accused is con-
demned to be degraded from his rank, to have his
right hand cut off while living, to be then beheaded,
the body to be quartered and exposed on the wheel ;
the head and hand to be fixed on a pole near it. The
King of Denmark has commuted the sentence into
imprisonment for life.

IRISH MANUFACTURES...-.WO continue to receive the
most favourable accounts of the state of manufacturing
enterprizl in Ulster. In the cotton trade the improve-
ment is still more decided than in linens; and it is stated
that the only drawback is the want of weavers, although
the wages now paid are from 5 to 10 per cent. higher
for plain goods, and from 40 to 50 per cent, for cloths to
be printed on, than they had been twelve months ago;
and in many instances a premium of Is. 6d. to 2s. is
given to the weaver who finishes his web within a given
time. There is also great briskness in the sowed muslin
trade. and immense numbers aro employed.
AUSTRALIAN EICP iRTS.—IC the exports to the Aus-
tralian colonies, during the past week, there has been a
great falling off, which is likely to continue for the next
few months, as vessels now dispatched would arrive too
late to got cargoes of wool. The clearances were two
vessels to Sydney of a joint capacity of 991 tons, one to
Oporto cud Sydney of 175 tons, and one to Port Philip
of 546 tons.
SHREWSBURY AND HEREFORD RAILWAY.—The
portion of this line now in course of construction from
Ludlow to Hereford, will be ready by the commence-
ment of June next for opening for traffic. Tho works
aro being pushed forward at those points where the
greatest delay is likely to occur. It is expected to be
opened before the Newport and Abergavenny, or the
R els and Gloucester line, which aro not anticipated to
be ready for a year from this date, in consequence of the
heavy work, in the form of tunnelling, on some portions
of the line.

CHIEF JUSTICE OF CALCUTTA.---It is rumoured in
Dublin that Mr. Robinson, of the Connaught bar, a con-
nexion, we believe, of Mr. Whiteside, has been appointed
to the very lucrative office of Chief Justice of Calcutta.
We understand the salary is about 6,00 e/. a year. The
Chief Justice of Calcutta, as part of his patronage, has
the appointment of an examiner, at a salary of 1,600 L
per annum.
THE MURDERS NEAR STAFFORD.—The sons of Mr.
and Mrs. Bleckland have been arrested, charged with
the murder of their aged parents. Tho eupposed parri-
cides have been arraigned before the magistrate, and
remanded. As a matter of course, the painful cknoit-
meet has created the utmost horror in the village, where
the family were much re•Tected. The murdered couple
were buried ut Penkridge churchyard, each coffin carried
in a four•horso hearse, amidst un immense concourse of
villagers, who witnessed the solemn ceremony with the
