INSURRECTION IN SPAIN.

MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL IIV TELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWO o'CLOCK.

The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday
were estimated at from 8,000 to 9,000 bales,
including 1,500 American taken for export, and on
speculation. The market closed with a hardening
tendency. The sales comprised 7,000 American,
300 Egyptian, at 6d. to 9d., 1,000 Surat, at 3d.
to 4id., and 200 Sea Island at 9id. to ls. 3d. per
lb. Railway Shares were dull, at lower prices.
The following report upon the silk market is by
Mr. Henry W. Eaton :

"Since the public sales, the result of which was re-
ported to you on the 22d ultimo, little or no change has
occurred in our matket.

"The deliveries of silk in June, it will be observed,
exceed those of any previous month, however uuprece-
dentedly large, and the slightly-improved position of the
trade then alluded to may be fully confirmed, a consi-
derable business having been done in Chinas during the
month.

"The unusually heavy total imports and stocks na-
turally deter consumers from buying as freely as in
previous years, but with so much to select from, the
difficulty of supplying individual requirements is almost
incredible, the bulk of the stock not being suitable
to the present general consumption.
" The last letters from China quote prices as lower,
but the advance in the exchange would more than
counteract any advantage in that to shippers.
"In Bengal silk there is no alteration ; by the ac-
counts just received from Calcutta, the market was dull.
"In Brutias and Persians there has been nothing
doing."

The screw steamer Queen of the South, which
left Southampton April 4, arrived at the Cape of
Good Hope May 21, consequently in 47 days.
Further tenders for steamers to convey stores,
&c., are invited by the Admiralty to be made to-
morrow.

The Board of Trade returns are very satisfactory,
the increase upon the month, compared with the
corresponding period of last year, being as large
as could be expected now the war is in progress.
The following is a synopsis of the commer-
cial treaty between Canada and the United
States, a copy of which has been submitted
to the provincial Parliament by Lord Elgin.
Article first throws open the fisheries of British
America, except those of Newfoundland, and
shrubs, pelts, fish, oil, rice, broom, corn,
barley, gypsum, ground or unground bar or grind
stone, hewn or rough, wrought or unwrought,
dye stuffs, flax, unmanufactured tobacco, and rags.
Article fourth throws open the river St. Law-
rence, and the Canadian canals, to American ves-
sels, the American Government undertaking to
urge the State Government to admit British ves-
sels into their canals ; both nations to enjoy the
navigation on equal terms.
Article fifth provides for the ratification of the
treaty within six months, or sooner, if possible.
Great Britain may withdraw from Americans the
right of navigating our waters, in which case Ame-
rica can annul article second.

Article sixth provides for including Newfound-
land, Is ith her consent, and salmon shod and shell
fisheries to American citizens.

Article second provides for settling fishing dis-
putes by arbitration, and also gives to the British
a right in the American fisheries to the thirty-
sixth parallel of north latitude.

Article third provides for the free exchange of
flour and breadstuffs, all kinds of animals, all kinds
of flesh, smoked and salted meats, cotton, wool,
seeds, and vegetables, dried and undried fruits, all
kinds of fish, and the products of fish, and of all
other creatures in the water, poultry and eggs,
furs and skins, undressed stone, and marble in its
under or over-wrought state, slate, butter, cheese,
tallow and lard, horns, manure, ores of all kinds,
round, hewed, or sawed, and manufactured
in whole or in part, firewood, plants, trees,
The shareholders in the Carson's Creek Mining
Company,
in conformity with the invitation of the
directors, have sent in their votes either for pro-
ceeding with or abandoning the undertaking, and
the following is the result :
Total number of votes 53,200
For proceeding 37,465
For abandoning 15,735

Majority for proceeding... 21,730
These numbers do not include the shares held by
directors.

The London Dock Company this day made a
dividend of 2/. 10s. per cent. for the half-year,
leaving a considerable balance for the next ac-
count.

The English Stock market is rather inactive, and
prices opened heavily, Consols being 93* but
they have since been 93,1 to 93. i. The reported
refusal by the Czar of the Austrian mediation acts
injuriously upon the market. Exchequer Bills are

FRENCH COMMERCIAL AFFAIRS.__It appears by the
letters from France that the weather last week was,
upon the whole, very propitious and although rain fell
at a later period, it was
not to an extent calculated to
do harm. A great fall in the price of flour occurred at
Havre, amounting
to 3 to 4 francs per barrel upon
American descriptions ; but this was recovered after-
wards to the extent of Ito 2 francs. The wool-fairs in
Germany have been going off tolerably well. At Ham-
burg, there were 12,000 stone of domestic quality
offered, and 5,000 stone foreign. The sales of the for-
mer ranged from 13 up to 16 rix-dollars per stone, ac-
cording to quality, 'The English are stated to have
been the chief buyers, but the Swedish manufacturers
were also in the market.
ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS.--The following gen-
tlemen, having undergone the necessary examinations
for the diploma, were admitted members of the college
at the meeting of the Court of Examiners on the 30th
ult.:—Messrs. Henry Porter, Peterborough ; John
Evans Havard Blangcotham, Llangollen ; Charles
Quinton, Wolverhampton ; Frederick Hezekiah Har-
good' Army ; John Penfold Morris, Lewes, Sussex ;
Charles Beresford, Congleton, Cheshire ; Albert Bryan
Day, Isleworth ; Douglas Arthur Reid, Southsea,
Hants ; Joseph John Godfrey, Turvey, Bedfordshire ;
William Henry England, Leeds.
CRYSTAL PALACE.—Yesterday a number of coal-
porters in the employ of various firms in Upper Ground-
street, Blackfriars, and Bankside, with their wives and
families, visited the above building, their employers
liberally defraying the expenses thereof. One firm pro-
vided a portion of their men with new duck for smock-
frocks, fustian waistcoats, and trousers ; in addition to
which each man was presented with 6d. for himself, 6(1.
for his wife, and the same for each of his children. The
neat and clean appearance, and orderly behaviour of the
men, attracted general attention.
Roux:v.—Letters from Rouen mention that the mar-
ket for manufactures was rather firmer, the attendance
of foreign buyers having increased.
RUSSIAN Fonces.—The German papers in the into-
rest of the enemy still circulate the most fabulous state-
ments as to the numbers of the Russian forces. It
is actually asserted that 400,000 or 500,000 men are
ready to face the Austrians, together with the Turks
and their Western Allies ; but the experience of the past
year sufficiently shows the true character of such muster-
rolls. The dispirited and baffled army which has retired
from the Danube may perhaps amount, as it falls back
on its reserves, to 120,000 men, and r.n equal number
may possibly be collected in the southern parts of
Poland ; but there is no reason to suppose that a single
regiment can be spared from the neighbourhood of the
capital. The French land forces which are to embark
immediately for the Baltic will render it necessary to
guard the coast with additional care; and when the
Emperor Nicholas meets his Minister of War at Kiew,
he may, perhaps, find that the contingency of having to
bring forward his last man and his last rouble is not so
remote as his flatterers may have suggested.--losing

LATEST FOREIGN NEWS.

-----<

THE WAR.
VIENNA, Monday Evening.—The Archduke Albrecht
has joined the army.
General Leiningcn, as Adlatus, acts as Governor of
Hungary.
It is believed that General Coronini has this day en-
tered Little Wallachia, from Orsova, with 24,000 men,
and that a brigade from Transylvania has passed through
the Tomosch Pass into Great Wallachia.

All the troops in Russian• Poland have been ordered to
march towards the Galician frontier, and a levy
en, mane has been ordered in Poland. Each landed
proprietor is to supply 24 men, 12 of whom are to be
armed with scythes.

Notification- of the Convention' between Austria and
the Porte has been sent to St. Petersburg.
Baron Meyendorff is permitted to go to Gasteen; but
must then retire to his estates in Finland.

The Ost. _Deutsche Post has every reason to believe
that the Russian answer to the summons has at length
arrived.

THE CZAR'S ANSWER TO AUSTRIA.

A telegraphic despatch, dated Berlin, yesterday, says: '
—"The substance of the Czar's answer to the Austro-
Prussian summons has been communicated, although
the document itself has not yet arrived here. The Em-
peror Nicholas expresses his readiness to negotiate with
the Four Powers on all the points in dispute, with the
exception of the privileges of the Christian subjects of
the Sultan. On this subject he will only treat directly
with the Porte, and he refuses to admit the interference
of the Four Powers. He also refuses to give any gua-
rantee for the evacuation of the Principalities. As the
privileges of the Greek Christians constituted the osten-
sible ground of the whole dispute, and the pretext for
the war, it is evident that this is equivalent to insisting
on the Menschikoff ultimatum."

The Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort, under date of
Berlin, 29th ult., says :--
"The reply of the Emperor Nicholas to the Austrian
summons, is no longer a secret, although the official text
of it has not yet reached Vienna. The Cabinet of Ber-
lin and that of Vienna perfectly well know on what they
have to calculate, as they have received positive infor-
mation on the subject from their Ambassadors at St.
Petersburg. The reply of the Emperor Nicholas may
be in the words of Count de Nesselrode :--` The Emperor
leaves to the choice of the German powers to declare
war against him ; he himself wishes for peace. The
Emperor will explain himself in an autograph letter,
which he will write to the two German Soverejns.' On
another occasion, when speaking of the additional article
of the Austro•Prussian Convention, Count de Nesselrode
said : ' This is not now the time to conceal what is
wished ; for our part we know what Austria wishes.' It
is now also known at St. Petersburg what Prussia wishes.
The autograph letter above alluded to is looked for with
impatience. Colonel de Manteuffel will, it is said, be
the bearer of that for Berlin, and Prince Gortschakoff
of that to Vienna. The latter is expected to reach
Warsaw on the 2d July. The delay in the arrival of
the reply arises, it is said, from the nervous state in
which the Emperor Nicholas is at present, and which
causes him to see things in a different light almost every
hour. It is consequently possible that the official reply
may be very different from the non-official one. No one
either here or at Vienna allows himself to be led away
by illusions. The nomination of General Hess has caused
a great sensation here, and every eye is turned towards
Austria."

The Hamburg Correspondent gives a letter from
Berlin, which states that the Emperor Nicholas has
declared that he would regard the occupation of the
Principalities by Austria as a casus belli, and that as a
preliminary to any negotiations for peace, he will require
guarantees from the powers before offering any to them.

The Moniteur of this morning contains a despatch
from Bayonne of the 3d, which states that on the 29th
the Queen of Spain appeared on the Prado, and was well
received by the troops and the populace.
Generals O'Donnell, Roe de Olano, and Messina have
been deprived of their rank, Cities, and honours.
A despatch from the Spanish Government, of the 2d,
states that on the Ist, at four in the aiternoon, the
Queen's troops attacked the insurgents and gained a
signal advantage over them ; that the latter were routed,
and that many officers and privates had demanded leave
to return to their duty.
Madrid was tranquil.
According to intelligence from Madrid of the 2d, at
6 p.m. the city was tranquil, and no bad news had been
received from the provinces. The insurgents, instead of
throwing themselves on Alcala, were marching on
Toledo.

On the Madrid Bourse of the 28th the Three per
Cents, were at 37.40.

The Madrid journals of the 29th ult. contains details
of the military insurrection, of which some account has
already been given from telegraphic despatches. These
details are summed up in the following letter :
" Yesterday morning General Dulce, the officer wbo,
in 1841, distinguished himself in the palace of the Queen
at the head of the Haliebardiers by his noble resistance
to the insurgent troops, gave orders to all the cavalry
of Madrid to mount their horses. This he was enabled
to do, in virtue of his office as director and inspector of
cavalry. When the regiments bad turned out he cried,
Long Live the Queen ! Death to the ministers !'
Generals O'Donnell, Ross de Olano, and Merino joined
him, as did also Colonel Ehagne at the head of his regi-
ment. The rebels then left in the direction of Alcala
and Guadalajara, with, no doubt, the hope of causing
the troops stationed there to join them. The generals
issued a proclamation to the troops in which, whilst
expressing their devotedness to the Queen, they de-
clare that it is their intention to re-establish the con-
stitution of 1835. They then drew up and
signed a document by which they bind themselves
to do what .their proclamation announces. The
council of ministers, on hearing of the insurrection,
immediately assembled at the Ministry of War, and
has since been setting permanently. The telegraph
is sending despatches in all directions. Important forces
have been sent to cut off the retreat of the rebels. The
Queen, who was at the Escurial when informed of the
rising, resolved to return to the capital ; and the Council
of Ministers having approved
,of this, her Majesty set
out. She arrived at Madrid at ten o clock in the even-
ing, and the bells of all the churches were rung to an-
nounce her return to the population. Instead of en-
tering by the Barrier of San Vincento, the royal cortege
arrived at the Barrier of Atocha, which was the longest
route, and passed through all the town. The Queen
was escorted by all the garrison of the capital, including
the cavalry regiment of Villa Vicente, which had arrived
from A ranjuez just as the Queen entered the city gates.
The population greeted her Majesty with enthusiasm.
and the Queen seemed much moved by her reception,
It appears that at the date of the last news, the rebels
were between Torrejan de Ardos and Alcala. At this
moment a strong column, consisting of 400 cavalry, a
battery of artillery, and four battalions of infantry, are
leaving Madrid to pursue the rebels."

PROCLAMATIONS OF THE GOVERNMENT.
The Madrid Gazette publishes the following docu-
ments :

" MINISTRY OF WAR-ROYAL ORDINANCE.

" The unexampled disloyalty of General Don Domingo
Dulce, who, ungratefully abusing, not only his autho-
rity, but the confidence which I deigned to accord him,
has led into insurrection part of the forces of which the
direction was confided to him, must be treated with all
the rigour of the laws. In consequence, I decide that
General Dulce shall instantly be deprived of all places,
honours, and decorations, and he struck out of the list
of officers of his class ; and this without preAdice to the
trial to which he may if necessary be brought.---Given
at the Palace, the 28th June.
"THE QUEEN.
" ANSELMO BLASER, Minister of War."

" ROYAL ORDINANCE,

" Excellency—On the 22d February last. in adopting
exceptional measures in consequence of the events at
Saragossa, the Queen's government proclaimed that it
was resolved to support order and the laws at every
cost. It now repeats the same declaration in presence
of a new military revolt ; and in order to crush that re-
volt by preventing any one from seconding or assisting
those who have commenced it, or may persist in it,
the Queen has adopted, with the advice of the Coun-
cil of Ministers, what follows :-1. All the Penin-
sula and adjacent islands being declared in a state
of siege, the military authorities shall resume the
universal command, and in consequence shall have
priority over all the other chiefs of the different
departments of the State. 2. Permanent courts-
martial shall be established in the provinces in which
they do not at present exist. These tribunals shall try
all sorts of persons who may attempt on whateverground
it may be, to disturb public order, or who may speak ill
of the constituted authorities, or of the government, or
of the sacred person of the Queen (whom may God pre-
serve !) By royal command, I communicate this to you
in order that it may be executed. God preserve you for
many years.
" Madrid, 28th June. " BLASER.
"To the Captain-General of ."

The Gazette further publishes the following, addressed
by the military authorities of Madrid to the people of
the capital :

" PROCLAMATION.

"Don Domingo Dulce, the director-general of cavalry,
setting at work the projects of conspiracy, by which for
some time past public tranquility has been secretly un-
dermined, and calling out, under the pretext of manceu-
vres, three regiments of the branch of the forces of which
he had the direction, left the capital at an early hour
this morning, accompanied also by a battalion of infan-
try formed of different detachments. The Government,
in making known this scandalous sedition to the public,
o fi n
theed,
and in which another generalotonly
appears
has every confidence n
lynthetolohyaavlte joined,
e
who have
troops of the garrison who have remained faithful, but
also in the good sense of the people of Madrid,
taken no part in this disgraceful crime."

" SECOND PROCLAMATION.

At the present moment, and however afflicting it
may be to present in all its nudity to the country so
black an act of ingratitude and disloyalty, the govern.
ment does not hesitate to appeal with a noble confidence
to the plain common sense and honour of the popula-
tion of Madrid. Let every one, as a man of honour,
lay his hand on his heart and he will feel the horror
which is caused by the conduct of an authority which,
when invested with the confidence placed in it, and
abusing the influence of its position, has perfidiously
undermined and perverted the mind of its subordi-
nates, for the purpose of inducing it to commit
a most desperate attack on the most sacred laws.
The Spanish people have sufficient experience in re-
volutions to be aware that a movement commenced
by such men and such means can only prove injurious
to the progress of improvement in the country, and to
the consolidation of its liberty and happiness. The
Government, reckoning on the fidelity of the troops and
the loyalty of the population, feels certain that-the pre-
sent movement will not only succeed, but will be soon
put down, without the people of Madrid having anything
else to do than to congratulate themselves on the judi-
cious conduct employed. But if, unfortunately, any one
should attempt to interfere with public tranquillity, let
him be certain that the Government will prove inexor-
able in punishing all persons concerned in such an at-
tempt.
"Madrid, June 28. " JUAN DE LAMA."
Then comes the following decree by the Captain-Gene-
ral of the province :
" Art 1. The military district under my orders is de-
clared in a state of siege. 2. A permanent court-mar-
tial is established to try all persons who may directly or
indirectly attempt to disturb public order. 3. All as-
semblies in the streets and public places of more than
three persons will be dispersed by force after the usual
summons. 4. No person is to be allowed to carry arms
and all arms to be delivered up within a delay of 24
hours. Every infraction of these orders shall be brought '
under the operation of Art. 2. 5. Persons spreading
alarming news, or delivering or carrying papers of a
subversive character, whether in print or manuscript,
are equally to be subjected to Art. 2.
" Madrid, June 28. "JUAN DE LAnA."

PROCLAMATION OF THE INSURGENTS.
The following proclamation has been distributed by
the insurgents :
" Citizens—A corrupt and corrupting Government,
which has outraged the majesty of the laws and hu-
miliated the honour of the country, is on the point of
sinking under the weight of the national execration.
" The honourable men of all parties condem it ; the
public, indignant at its iniquities, reserves for it an
exemplary punishment.
"The days of its shameful domination do not suffice
to count by them the reckoning of its crimes. It has
broker, through the constitution of the State, trampled
on all the rights of citizens, been wanting to all the
sentiments of decorum, scorned the national represen-
tation, closed the tribune, enchained the press, sacked
the treasury, corrupted consciences, and sowed profound
perturbation in the country.
"The generals who have given to the Queen a throne,
in order to reign constitutionally—the men experienced
in political struggles, and the independent writers, are
persecuted, dismissed, or proscribed. A swarm of ad-
venturers has proposed to itself to convert Spain into!its
patrimony, and to destroy in a day the conquests of fifty
years of heroic actions and generous sacrifices. After
having torn from the people enormous contributions not
authorised by the Cortes, it has instituted a new impost,
which has spread misery and faniine in the provinces.
Its conduct has no example nor excuse. The revolution
does not spring from the masses, nor go out from the
people—it proceeds from the governing power, which
has placed itself beyond the law.
" It is not another change of persons which is treated
of, nor a !Arty revolution ; what is treated of is the fra-
ternal union of all Liberals, of all men of probity, who
seek to render the scandalous robbery which we have
hitherto witnessed impossible.
" Patriotism, union, and confidence ; with these three
elements the nation, liberty, and the throne will be
saved ; and you will banish for ever the sad legacy of
humiliation which otherwise you will leave to your
ch Wren.
" An act of energy alone can put an end to the reign
of arbitrariness and immorality. The country expects it
all from you. To arms, citizens ! Either now or
never!"

FR &NOE.

It is asserted in Paris that the prospects of the new
Turkish loan are very favourable. M. Durand left yes•
terday for London.

Yesterday morning a soldier, named Masson, sen-
tenced to death for having killed his corporal, was shot
at Vincennes, in presence of detachments of all the corps
of the garrison.
The trade of Paris for the last week exhibited
little or no variation from the preceding one, busi-
ness altogether having been very dull, owing in a
great measure to the inclemency of the season. The
accounts from the manufacturing districts are not
either satisfactory, an almost complete stagnation
prevailing at Rouen, Mulhouse, Rheims, Amiens,
Roubaix, and Turcoing. The few days of fine
weather of the beginning of the week have re-
assured the most timid as to the result of the
approaching crop, which everywhere promises tobe over-
abundant.

The Bourse rose to-day, notwithstanding the faU in
English Consols. The 'Puree per Cents, closed 73f. 40c.
for the end of the month ; the Four-and-a-Half per
Cents. at 98f. 40c. The New Loan was not quoted.

THE CAPE AND MAURITIUS.

The General Screw Steam Shipping Company's mail
packet Calcutta, Captain Goodhall, arrived yesterday
afternoon. She left Calcutta April the 15th, Madras
the 23d, Ceylon the 26th, Mauritius May Bth, Table-bay
the 20th, St. Helena June 3d, Ascension the 7th, and
and St. Vincent the 19th.
Lieutenant• General the Hon. Sir G. Cathcart,K.C.B.,
late Governor of the Cape, came by the Calcutta, and
having landed at Plymouth, proceeded at once by the
South Devon Railway to Exeter.

On the 19th of April, near Clarkenburg, a sharp fight
occurred between Kreilis Caffres and the Tambookies,
when the latter suffered a loss of 50 men. The Caffres,
who outnumbered their opponents, were severely pun-
ished. With this exception the Cape colony was per-
fectly tranquil. The elections were not finished.
Her Majesty's ships Hydra, Penguin, and Juno were
in Simon's Bay. The Juno was to leave on the 26th of
May, supposed for New South Wales. His Netherland
Majesty's steamer Soembing. Cammander Febias, left
Simon's Bay on the 21st of May for Java. The steam-
ship Queen of the South left Table Bay, for Australia,
on the 23d of May, taking several passengers ; the
Silver Cloud on the 26th. The screw steamer City of
Hobart Town, from London April 2d, St. Vincent the
21st, and St. Jago the 24th, arrived at the Cape on the
24th of May, and was to sail for Hobart Town on the
27th. At St. Helena there was a condemned slaver,
prize to her Majesty's brig Linnet, a bark of 260 tons,
named Millando. A large Russian ship, with 70 men on
board, from China, with furs valued above a quarter of a
million sterling, had sailed from the island for St. Peters-
burg a few days before the Calcutta arrived. Her
master was a German, and had procured double sets of
papers to make for America, if necessary. The declara-
tion of war was not then known at Ascension. It was
reported that a Russian frigate had put into Porto Prays,
under English colours, about a month before (May 20) ;
her name and destination unknown. The barks Pene-
lope, Marquis of Chandos, and Wilhelmina, and the
schooner Caroline, were at St. Vincent. The Lady
Jocelyn arrived on the 16th, and left for Australia.
On the 17th of June the Calcutta experienced heavy
weather in gales off Algoa Bay, and was compelled to
lay to. From the 16th to the 22d of May, from Table
Bay to Ascension, very light trades and frequent calms
prevailed ; from the 23d of June contrary winds from
the north-east were experienced. She has a full cargo
of saltpetre, indigo, raw silk, piece goods, &c. The
Calcutta brings in all 175 passengers, among whom are
Major Mercer, from Calcutta ; Colonel Millar, Colonel
Neill, Major Bower, and Captain Jacob, from Madras ;
Captains Henderson, Hall, and Corfield, from Ceylon ;
and Colonel Seymour, Colonel Penckeney, D. A. Com-
missary-Generals Power and Robinson, and the Hon.
G. Elliot, from the Cape.

The French frigate Jeanne d'Arc, and sloops of war
Eagle and Estafette, from Reunion, arrived at Port
Louis on the 2d of May. The frigate which carried the
flag of Rear-Admiral La Guerre put in to replace some
sheets of copper. She was to sail immediately with the
sloops for China, despatches having been received from
Admiral Stirling, in the East Indies, requesting their
co-operation to effect the capture of the Russian force ill
those seas.

The sugar crop at the Mauritius was fast drawing to
a close. It will reach 100,000 tons, of which 77,000
have been shipped to the United Xingdom, 11,000 to
Australia, and 2,100 to the Cape. The last heavy winds
were favourable, and the coming crop is estimated at

ALL'S LOST.-INTOLERANOE FOR BVER I

MAYNOOT—H GRANT.
(From the Morning Herald.)
We do not profess to disguise either our disappoint-
ment or vexation at the result of Mr. Spooner's motion
last night. With a very few words, we must dismiss
this must disheartening subject.

A large majority of the-house, it is perfectly plain,
were ready to vote for the motion of Mr. Spooner. But
a large number of members had left the house En the be-
lief that there would be a protracted debate. By one Of
those dexterous pieces of management in which all per'
sons admit the Government " whips" to be pre•eml'
nently skilful, these gentlemen managed to obtain their
own supporters in the house, and, taking advantage of
the state of the Protestant benches, Ministers hurried
the division, and succeeded in defeating Mr. Speener'e
proposal by a narrow majority of H.
It is useless to deny that there must have been sad
mismanagement in all this. Mr. Spooner did all that
courage and high principle could do. Mr. Newdegate
ably seconded his efforts. But why, let us ask, was no
one found to protract the debate, and prevent the Minl-
sterial artifice from succeeding ! Mr. Butt, at the last
moment, gallantly came to the rescue, but was met by
the Speaker with the intimation that there was an lin'
derstanding that no one was to speak after the glass was
turned. Amid a storm of opposition from those eager
for a division, the hon. member succeeded in establish'
ing his right to be heard, and having carried his point
both with the Speaker and the house, very unwisely
we cannot help thinking—waived it in deference to the
feeling of the house. So it was, however. Mr;
Spooner's motion was negatived without debate, and
this while there were members enough within a quarter
of a mile of the house to have carried it by a triumphant
majority.
There is in all this, let us say, a lamentable proof of
want of concert. We will not stop to apportion blame•
The heaviest part of it must probably fall upon those
who would not sacrifice their dinner at their club to
watching an important debate. But why were not
arrangements made to secure a succession of speakers
to prevent an abrupt divisio❑ ?
The new " understanding" intimated by the Speakers
and of which the great majority of members were per-
fectly unaware—like all these new rules and under-
standings— shackled the freedom of discussion in the
house. But account for it as we will, the fact is, that a
great opportunity has been lost—and this in itself lin'
plies that arrangements were neglected which, we trust,
will never again be similarly overlooked.
This solitary success of Ministers is gained, after all,
by a division carried by a surprise.
