and he had upon that ground thought it his duty to
bring forward the present motion, as he conceived
the house would not be doing full justice to her
Majesty's Address, unless they took every means
in their power to obtain a decided opinion in the
great questions refered to. The honourable member
then proceeded to quote from an excellent and use-
ful " Treaties on the Rules and Orders of Proceeding in
the House of Commons," by Mr. May, one of the clerks
of the house,.the varous occasions upon which a call of
the house had been ordered. From the year 1820 to the
present • time it appeared that there had been forty-three
calls made. 'Off the Efferent occasions upon which the
call was made were Parliamentary reform in 1822 ; on
the Roman Catholic ,disabilities, moved by the late Sir
Robert Peel, in 1829; in 1832, moved by Lord John
Russell, on the proposed Reform Bill ; is 1833, moved
for by Lord Althorpe, on the consideration of the bill
for the suppression ofdisturbances in Ireland. The num-
ber of days upon which the house was called on the dif-
ferent occasions referred to varied from three to six. In
1835 there was another call of the house, upon the ques-
tion of the Church of Ireland, after 13 days' notice. Again
in 1836 there was another call of the House of Commons,
on the state of agriculture. In 1838 there was a call of
the house on the motion of Sir William Molesworth, on
the subject of Canada. In 1839, upon the motion of Mr.
Villiers, there was a call on the subject of the corn laws,
and in the same year there was anotber call of the house,
upon the question of national education. He thought it
most important for the future settlement of the question
of free trade that the opinions of every member should
be declared upon it.
Mr. R. PALMEB was not personally interested in
the question one way or the other. He, however did
not see the utility ofa call of the house. Had the hon.
gentleman the power of enforcing the attendance of
members, upon a division, then indeed he could perceive
a just reason for tie motion. There was nothing to
prevent the member who attended on Monday from being
absent upon Tuesday, although the latter day was more
Probably the one upon which the division would take
place.
Mr. HUME observed that the constituencies, if they
saw that a member was present upon Monday and absent
upon Tuesday, would require an explanation of his con-
duct, and it would not then be in his power to say that
he was abroad.

Mr. EWART said that those who were forced to at-
tend upon Monday would probably attend upon Tues-
day.
Viscount BERNARD complained of the hardship a
call would inflict upon Irish members, who could not
possibly receive notice of the intention f the house.
Mr. CARTER said that no member had a right to be
in the south of Ireland or the south of France when a
question of such importance was debated.
The CHANCELLOR of the 'EXCHEQUER said
that with reference to the author from whom the member
for Montrose had quoted, that gentleman laid down that
a call should not be made which it was intended really
to enforce unless a notice of a week or ten days had
intervened. He saw such an anxiety upon every side of
the house, that the motion of Mr. Villiers should be
disposed of that he did not think there was any necessity
for the call. For his own part, he was most anxious
that every member of the Government should attend ;
and
.although inconvenience might be occassioned t.
many members, he would not oppose the motion.
Sergeant SHEE said that several of the Irish co4nty
members could not by any possibility attend upon Mon—
day next. They had not attended, because they saw no
reason to suppose that there would be any great differ-
ence of opinion upon either side of the house. They saw
no reason to suppose that there would be any amendment
upon the address to the Crown, nor that there would be
any attempt to reverse the system introduced by the
great man whom the country had lost. A call would
operate with hardship upon them, as they could not come
over in sufficient time to be present.
• Lord J. RUSSELL considered that it would have
been better if the member for Montrose had given notice
of his motion immediately after the notice placed upon
the books of the house by the hon. member for Wolver-
hampton. Certainly, the time was very short, but the
practice was that when any valid excuse was given—
such as, " I was abroad, and could not arrive in time"—
it was permitted to prevail. He supposed it was in-
tended to pursue the same course now. (Hear, hear.)
Although he did not see any great advantage to be gained
by a call, still, as it was a practice, he did not see why
it should not be followed in the present instance, when a
question of such importance was to be decided as whe-
ther the country should adopt a free trade policy, or
whether it should give up free trade and return to pro-
tection.

The house then divided—

SPORTING NOTES.—No. CCCLI.

The hybrid kind of sport that came off in the second
day of the late races at Warwick was, in the extent of
the fields, if anything, superior to that of the first day.
The Free Handicap Steeplechase was the first event de-
cided ; for which Frank, about whom they took as little
aS 2 to 1, was the winner in a canter : my selection,
Gulnare, being disposed of rather easily than otherwise,
owing, I fancy, more to the state of the ground than
anything else. This was the only race of the day in
which my judgment was nt fault. The winner, entered
to be sold for 301., was knocked down for 60 guineas,
thus realising for the fundt 331.
The Grand Open Steeplechase was won all the way by
Maurice Daley, who had all his opponents as safe as pos-
sible, going faster, and taking his fences with greater
precision than any other. In my first remarks on this
meeting I stated that he was a first-rate animal for in-
vestment, both to win and for a place ; and last Tuesday
observed that I had a strong fancy that Maurice Daley
would run to win, and that if he did so he must be about
the mark. The Reiver—who is evidently a crack in
embryo—is gradually improving his running in every
race, and will, no doubt, do a good thing some of these
days. He managed to beat the Screw easily for second
honours. Peter Simple finished a very bad fourth.
Peter, who was the favourite at starting, managed to
upset his owner's interests some distance from home,
and, of course, was nowhere. Proceed was no better off,
and Little Charley is not of the calibre to contest suc-
cessfully with the animals opposed to him.
The Hunt Cup Steeplechase, as the Reiver did not
put in an appearance, having had enough of it in the
preceding race, was a certainty for Victress, about whom
they took as little as sto 4. She literally ran away with
the .race, winning with most consummate ease, by half-a-
dozen lengths ; Old Trust-me-not, who finished second,
not being able to make any sort of a race with her. The
Emperor was a wretched third. The Ladder, Quickstep,
and Trooper, were out of the race early. It struck me
that the day of the remaining starter, Sir Edward, had
not yet arrived.
A Match followed, of no interest to anybody but the
contending parties.
The Free Handicap Hurdle Race terminated in the
defeat of that great pot, Tomboy, who was backed in the
city and off the lists to a very considerable extent. Odi-
ham had him safe from end to end, beating him at the
finish by three lengths. The filly by Don John, who
was also supported very freely, run in a moderate third ;
Half-and-half, Presto, and Caurire dragging their weary
length along, in the rear. This race brought the War-
wick and Leamington November Meeting of 1852 to a
close. The sport on both days was quite up to the
average,. if not above it. The attendance was not so
as usual, which may be attributed to the meeting
Parliament and the late Duke's funeral. A great
drawback
back was the very rotten state of the ground.

THE DUKE'S FUNFIAL,—Much as we had reason to
believe that the Duke's memory would be revered and
respected, we were certainly not prepared to witness
anything like the excitement caused throughout the,
whole of the country. Had the period of lying in state ex-
tended to weeks, or even months, it is probable that there
is scarcely a person in her Majesty's dominions but what
would have visited London to have paid a tribute to the
memory of his Grace. This might be considered a mere
pretext for relaxation ; but as one fact is worth a hundred
conjectures, we have it in our power to state that a lead-
ing Mourning Warehouse in Regent-street has actually
disposed of more than treble the amount of mourning
than it has ever done upon former occasions of national
lament—Messrs. Jays informing us that the majority of
such purchasers are assuredly not merely for the passing
moment, but are intended for a lengthened period, mani-
festing anything but an ephemeral sorrow.—Morning

LONDON, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1852.

We had hoped that special pleading, if not
altogether abolished, was yet in course of aboli-
tion. Special Demurrers have certainly been
done away with ; and a step further in advance
is about to be taken with respect to the Superior
Courts of Common taw in Ireland, the practice
of which is to be further assimilated to that of
the County Courts, where the question in dispute
is brought to a hearing on a short and simple
plaint or statement of the actual facts. We
earnestly hope that the obnoxious and moribund
system is not to be continued in the Legislature,
that angry and protracted debates may not be
carried on respecting the verbiage or mere form,
not the substance of a resolution. Something of
the kind is, however, threatened for Monday
evening. There is no real difference between the
resolution about to be brought forward by Mr.
VILLIERS, and the amendment thereto of which the
CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER has given notice.
Both.alike recognise the great principle for which
we have so long been contending ; both express
the opinion of the House as to the improved con-
dition of the people, and the great cause of that im-
provement, and also that the principle deliberately

adopted by the Legislature must not only be main-
tained but considerably extended. It is true that
onuses the terms, "recent commercial legislation,"
while the other more briefly speaks of " recent
legislation," the former again speaks of " Free
Trade," while the latter only refers to " unre-
stricted,.(ompetition." The resolution declares in
favour of " the maintenance and further exten-
sion of the policy of Free Trade," while the
amendment announces that "it is the duty of
the Government unreservedly to adhere to that
policy"—that is, of unrestricted competition—

" in those measures of Financial *id kaministi a-
tive Reform, which under the circumstances of the
country, they may deem it their duty to intro-

duCe."

What, then, is the use of hair-splitting, or
wasting in words, therefore, the time that may
otherwise be usefully applied ; whence the neces-
sity for calling Hon. Gentlemen together at the
shortest notice, from the most remote parts of the
kingdom, perhaps at great personal inconveni-
ence ? If " the rose by any other name will smell
as sweet," if " deeds, not words," be what is re-
quired, why should there be any dispute or discus-
sion? why should not Mr. DISRAELI vote in favour
of the resolution, or Mr. VILLIERS gracefully ac-
cept- the amendment, so that there may be the
legislative unanimity so much to be desired? or, at
least, that the only dissentients be the gallant
SIBTHORP, and other equally worthy adherents of
the obsolete and abandoned policy.
What, after all, is required from the Govern-
ment? What is it Mr. COBDEN and the gentle-
men assembled at the Great Manchester Demon-
stration demanded at their hands? Was it not
the total and unconditional abandonment of
"Protection," and a deliberate and solemn under-
taking that no attempt shall be made at the
re-imposition of a bread tax, or any other charge
on human food? Will not that be attained by
the adoption of the amendment? and how would
Ministers be more firmly pledged by the one form
of words than by the other? Let any unpreju-
diced person examine them in juxtaposition, and
point out any real distinction between the two :

MR. VILLIERS' MOTION.

EXCHEQUER'S AMEND-

"That this house will be
ready to take into its con-
sideration any measures con-

sistent with' the principles
of this resolution which may

be laid before it by her 31i-

jesty's Ministers."

The latter certainly appears to be as like the thing
as possible, and should satisfy the most scrupu-
lous and exacting Free-trader. "The leek" has
been swallowed—not a fragment remains behind ;
why, then, insist on more? or complain on account
of the expression of countenance during the pro-
cess of masticating the wholesome, but distasteful,
meal?

We do not complain of Mr. VILLIERS. He
has completely and unequivocally attained his
object. He has succeeded in obtaining the dis-
tinct pledge demanded by himself and his Free-
trade brethren throughout the country. And it
was fit and proper that he, the earliest champion
of " unrestricted competition"—the general who,
though frequently foiled, gained additional strength
from each defeat, and at length achieved a brilliant
and decisive victory, should receive the sword of the
fallen enemy, and seal the terms of capitulation.
He has earned his laurels well, and long may he
live to wear them. But he should not prove
obdurate in the hour of his crowning triumph.
He should accord the " honours of war " to the
garrison, and allow them to march forth with
drums beating, and retaining their arms. The
colours have been abandoned. In place of the
Standard of Protection, they march under the
oriflamme of Free Trade. No longer formid-
able opponents, they promise to become effi-
cient auxiliaries, and have given hostages for
their fidelity. A ' generous victor would be
satisfied with such a result, and would not
seek to dishonour those with whom it is by no
means improbable that he may at some future
time be arranged in the same ranks, and fighting
side by side. If we do not suppose that Mr.
VILLIERS desires more than he professes or
that his real object is to bring forward a vote of
" want of confidence," under the guise of a re-
solution in favour of Free Trade—the Hon.
Gentleman has sufficient strength not to seek to
capture stray votes by such means. If his object
be to displace the Ministry, without allowing
" those measures of financial and administra-
tive reform which they deem it their duty to
introduce," and in which the policy of " unre-
stricted competition" is to be " unreservedly"
adhered to—to be brought forward, let him say
so, openly and explicitly. Let him declare that
his faith is in " men, not measures," and that
nothing but the return of the Whigs to office will
content him. That may be the desire of " the
family party"—of the RUSSELLS, GREYS, and
ELLIOTTS ; but we believe that it is not the feeling
of the people, and that any unfair or factious op-
position will be very prejudicial to the good cause.
Let not Mr. VILLIERS, then (to whose unblemished
reputation and high character we bear, as we have
always done, willing, nay eager, testimony), suf-
fer himself to be made the instrument for doing
the " dirty work" of the Whigs. His object--
that of the resuscitated League, and of the indus-
trious classes throughout the entire kingdom, is
achieved. Let him be contented. He was
before treated not only with ingratitude, but
contumely ; his services to the Liberal cause
were forgotten, or, far worse, slighted, and no
place in the Ministry was tendered to the
champion of Free Trade. The Whigs require a
further lesson. "Sweet are the uses of adver-
sity." A prolonged sojourn on the Opposition
benches until they have learned to abandon the
doctrines of " finality," and to recognise adminis-
trative ability, although the possessor be not a de-
scendant of, or any degree related to, SARAN,
Duchess of Bedford, the grandmother of the pre-
sent Duke, will be of the greatest possible benefit.
They must be compelled to bid for office, and
that very liberally, before it is tendered for their
acceptance. It is by such means, and such
means only, that we hope to arrive at an ade-
quate extension of the Franchise, and protection
to the voter in the exercise of his undoubted
privilege, and also to obtain those measures of
legal, fiscal, and monetary reform which are so
urgently required by the country, and which "will
most contribute to the general prosperity, iwel-
fare, and contentment of the people."

FRANKLIN PIERCE may now be regarded as de
facto, if not yet actually de jure President of
the United States. Already 246 votes have been
recorded in his favour, while the most formidable
of his opponents (SCOTT), has obtained only 42
altogether, and these merely from Tennessee, Ver-
mont, Kentucky, and Massachusetts. The con-
test may, therefore, be regarded as virtually
brought to a conclusion. Against such enormous
odds, the Whig candidates cannot hope to be suc-
cessful. The. four years' power has slipped from
their grasp—and not only the four years' power,
but, in the opinion of many competent observers,
the influence they have hitherto preserved
in their hands over a very considerable part
of the population. This is not merely the
opinion entertained by the systematic antag-
onists of Federalism—it was the conviction ar-
rived at upon his death-bed by DANIEL WEBSTI
the most illustrious advocate of the system, and,
omonc_alla its favourite representative. The

Whigs in England are at this moment not more
entirely divested of their ancient prestige with the
community than their namesakes on the opposite
shores of the Atlantic. The latter have fallen,
however, more by reason of their divisions amongst
themselves than because of their political incapa-
city. In their instance, another " house divided
against itself' has tumbled into ruin, according to
the Divine rule inevitably observable under those
circumstances. Out of their defeat has grown
up the victory of the Democratic party as
above indicated. The principles of JACKSON -
have, in truth, become at last predominant
throughout the vast majority of the States con-
stituting that great Republican confederation.
JEFFERSON has left behind him an influence -which
has altogether eclipsed that maintained by his
Whig contemporaries. SCOTT and GRAHAM have
been totally vanquished in the course of the re-
cent election, even according to the candid ad-
mission of one of the principal organs of their
party—the New York Tribune. There can 10
longer be any doubt whatever as to the ulterior
consequences of these remarkable and memorable
proceedings. Insomuch may we count with con-
fidence upon the result already announced, that
we may even now regard it as certain that the
United States has a PIERCE as a President, and e)
KING as a Vice-President.
, It is an extraordinary coincidence, that at thia
' particular juncture the cause of Free Trade has
received an unexampled triumph almost sinlll.-
taneously in both hemispheres. Scarcely has it
been decided by the Protectionist Cabinet of
Great Britain that the old, effete, worn-out, 610;
lete ideas of commercial monopoly must be at
length and totally abandoned, when we receive
intelligence from America that- the cause of unre-
stricted tariffs has obtained a signal victory iii
the United States by the selection from among the
various candidates of a thoroughly Free-trading
President. We shall hear no more, therefe
in the United Kingdom of any attemPw'
change in the enactments of 1846, or in the
United States, of any proposed increase Of 1,,,

same year at Washington. The coincidence °f
these two events, coming to us as they do so 01°5°
upon each other, and connected as they are 1)4, Y
the similarity of their tendency, and the' alln°",
identity of the character—cannot too sedulousu
be borne in the popular consideration. Thel
indicate the close of that terribly prolonged strug-
gle which was, in a manner, predicated by Al
SMITH, commenced by WILLIAM HUSKISSON,
tinued by CHARLES VILLIERS, advanced by Rrogn
COBDEN, and brought to a climax by BO '4
PEEL—that redoubtable contest which embittervr
the life of the great statesman last-mentionev;
embittered it so very grievously immediately' Prif,,,
to his dissolution—the struggle maintained,.',
GEORGE BENTINCK to the hour of his preinan-
demise, but which may now be considered as
finitively closed by the wise concession and pa"'
admission of BENJAMIN DISRAELI, in his three' ~6
fold capacity as Cabinet Minister, as Leader of On
House of Commons, and as CHANCELLOR of th
EXCHEQUER. The simple truth is this; 'the Pre':
tectionists, if they have still failed some of thent-
to recognise the error of their ways,. have aline:,
without one solitary exception, perceived the fe'
of continuing a contest so manifestly hopell
because so glaringly opposed to the spirit °
the times and the wishes of the populati°°.
They perceive at last, that in this directsoUpi
as in so many others, " what can't be Orel
must be endured." Levius fit patientia qui4ol,t
