ROYAL SURREY THEATRE.
UNDER THE IVIANAGEMENT OF MR. DAVIDGE

mons for a motion on Thursday, Juno 3—That Parlia-
ment ought not to separate without devising means for
alleviating the great misery which now prevails through-
out the manufacturing districts.
Mr. W. WYNN is to move on Wednesday, or the first
convenient day, a resolution to prosecute Mr. WEBSTER
for bribery at the St. Alban's election.
On the motion of-Lord Jolts RUSSELL, the House, on
rising, was ordered to adjourn to Wednesday.
Sir ROBERT PEEL graciously signified on the occasion
that he had not brought forward his resolution with a
view of interfering with the discussion of the Corn-law.
The adjourned debate was renewed, and lasted through
the whole evening till half-past twelve o'clock. The
speakers for the motion were Mr. MONCKTON MILNES,
Mr. DARBY, Lord NORREYS, Lord TEIGNMOUTII, Lord
SANDON, and Sir JAMES GRAHAM, who concluded the
debate.

The speakers against it were Mr. SANFORD, Mr.
HUTTON, Mr. 11. GRATTAN, Mr. INGHAM—the Mem-
ber for Shields, who on this occasion declared off from
his Tory friends, and was the special object of Sir
JAMES GRAHAM'S seductive eloquence—Mr. Hurl', and
Lord MORPETH. The Noble Lord spoke out boldly,
and expressly said it was not the intention of
Ministers to carry on business with this Parliament for
an extended period.
Sir JAMES GRAHAM made a lugubrious attack on his
former friends, and taught us to believe, by his tone and
manner, that the Tories have given up their hopes
of a victory. He was extremely indignant that
the dissolution is so long protracted, and that the
Ministers should have appealed to the people on the sub-
ject of the Corn-laws. Sir JAMES feels that those laws
are indefensible on political, moral, and religious grounds,
and therefore he and his friends are extremely angry that
they are touched. Again we say to the earnest, indus-
trious, religious, and honest people of England, that they
have only to persevere in demanding the total abolition
of the Corn-laws, and success will crown their exertions.
The House adjourned at a Quarter before One o'Clock.

The solemn assertion of the fact that Ministers
have been several times defeated in the House
of Commons, by a resolution of that House
as proposed by Sir ROBERT PEEL, is one of
the customary inanities of the Tories. While
society is heaved from its foundations—while, as
the Tory Mr. WALTER said on Thursday, "num-
bers had been set to war against property,"
though " property gave the stroke to crush
numbers lower and lower," and numbers have
ever since been striking atproperty,—while class
is threatening class, with as terrific moral denun-
ciations as ever were uttered, Sir RORERT PEEL
thinks it worth while to engage the House of
Commons in an idle discussion about a worthless
resolution. Does he hope to stay the war which,
begun by property, is now waging between
it and numbers, by even carrying his resolu-
tion ? If he do, he is a mere routine ninny.
He might as well hope to stay the onward flow
of the majestic Thames by sailing a cock-boat
against it, and fancy that he has succeeded be-
cause he forces his frail bark against the cur-
rent. There are many things which resolutions
of the House of Commons, and which Acts of
Parliament, though sanctioned by Queen, Lords,
and Commons, cannot accomplish, and this
healing of the diseases of society by resolutions
about the Ministers is one of them. We call
Sir R. PEEL'S resolution, therefore, inane and
worthless, supposing it to be true, because it can
effect nothing, if ever so successful, towards re-
settling the foundations of society, or assuaging
the bitter animosities engendered by class legis-
lation. Sir R. PEEL knows that if it were car-
ried it would not in the least affect the progress
of events. But this is only of a piece with the
general conduct of the Tories. They have been
for many years wholly regardless of the state
and condition of society, and have looked only
to attain party objects and party triumphs in the
Houses of Parliament.

Besides the assertion that the Ministers have
been defeated in the House of Commons, Sir
R. PEEL affirms that for Ministers to retain office,
having been so beaten, is at variance with the
spirit of the Constitution. How did he prove
this ? By quoting some half-dozen instances in
which the Commons have by their votes driven
individuals from office ; but to make the proof
complete, he ought to have shown that there was
no instance of a Minister holding office in the
face of an adverse vote of the House of Com-
mons. That he completely failed to do. The case
of Sir ROBERT WALPOLE, who continued in
office after his favourite scheme of an excise, as it
is called, had failed, which, however, was a scheme
for bonding goods, and making England the em-
porium of the world,—of Lords STANHOPE and
SUNDERLAND, who did not resign when their
plan to limit the power of the Crown to create
Peers was rejected—of Mr. PITT, whose pro-
positioln to fortify our arsenals was thrown out—
and of Lord LIVERPOOL, who had the govern-
merit, as it were, taken out of his hands by the
property-tax being abolished against his views—
of Lord LIVERPOOL, again defeated on the
question of organising the Admiralty, and who
was forced to strike off two Lords--of the
Duke of WELLINGTON, defeated on the aboli-
tion of the Test Acts, and of sundry
other cases of Ministers defeated on the
most important questions, who, neverthe-
less, continued to hold office, are all proofs of the
incorrectness of Sir R. PEEL'S affirmation. Now,
when there are many more cases of Ministers
being defeated and not resigning, than there are
cases of Ministers being defeated and resigning,
it requires Sir ROBERT PEEL'S own peculiar can-
dour to affirm with an unblushing face, because in
a century he can quote about six cases of Minis-
ters resigning after successive defeats, that
resignation on being defeated is according to the
spirit of the Constitution.

In all the cases quoted there was a convic-
tion on the part of the Ministers that for
them to retain office would endanger the sup-
plies, and plunge the Crown into a contest
with the House of Commons, and would be
most injurious to the Crown. That cannot be
said in the present case, for the House of Com-
mons, in accordance with the votes and speeches of
Sir R. PEEL, himself, has granted the greater part
of the supplies, and professes a desire to throw no
obstacle in thu way of the Government. In the
other cases, the Opposition was; fierce, unyield-
ing, and ready to go all lengths to remove or re-
sist the Ministers; in the present case, Sir R.
PEEL throws so little heart into his opposition,
that which he seconds the motion for granting her
MAJESTY a supply, and does not profess that the
party he represents has a single grievance to com-
plain of.

Sir ROBERT'S own conduct is a striking illustra-
tion of a different theory of the Constitution from
that which he now propounds to suit a purpose.
Where is the difference between holding offi
ce
in the face of an adverse House of Commons,
and taking office, knowing that the House of
Commons and the country regard a Minister
something like abhorrence. That is what Sir
knewons
thatdecid-
edly ROBERT PEEL did in 1834-1835.
the country and the House of Commons
mistrusted him and his party—he knew that
he could not carry forward the public business
with the House of Commons; and, accordingly,
as soon as he took office he dissolved the Parlia-
ment, which had sat only two sessions, and tried to
pack another, to give a verdict in his favour.
He openly set both the House of Commons and
the country at defiance. Though now so solicit-
ous for the prerogatives of the Crown, he
perilled them in the contest, and was de-
feErted. The Ministers of the KING'S choice
Were turned out by the House of Commons which
those Ministers had done what they could
to pack, after they seized the reins of Govern-
ment, in declared opposition to the wishes of the
House of Commons which Sir ROBERT PEEL dis-
solved. What have the Whigs done, according
to Sir ROBERT PEEL'S own view of the Constitu-
tion, half so bad as his own conduct in
1834-1835 ? He not only continued in
office after several defeats, he took office
in the face of an adverse majority, and
he tried, by using all the prerogatives of
the Crown, to procure a House of Commons to
support - him, was
• beaten, and was forced to lay
the Royal prerogative of choosing Ministers, at

the feet of the House of Commons. Such was
the conduct of the man who moves a vote of
censure on the Ministers for not resigning before
the House of Commons has signified that it has
withdrawn its confidence from them.

The meeting at Kennington Common yester-
day was highly favourable to free trade, and
the Ministers. It was addressed by more than
one gentleman in a religious spirit. The Corn-
laws were denounced as contrary to the word
and ordinances of GOD. So to assail them is
most effective. It will be seen by a reference to
the Debates in the House of Commons that Sir
JAMES GRAHAM described as most improper and
revolutionary the language of Lord MORPETH
and Lord J. RUSSELL, who spoke of these laws
as being contrary to the Lord's Prayer,
and as contravening the designs of Provi-
dence. As long as it suited the purposes
of Sir JAMES GRAHAM and his friends
to excite the religious feelings of the people in
favour of a political party, there was no vile use
religion could be put to for which the Tories did
not employ it. It has long been a standing
practice to foment discord by its name. A large
army of priests is paid to employ it, in order to
make men contented with wretched, ungodly
slavery. Now that it is directed against the
bread tax—now that the Bible and the Prayer-
book are invoked against the landlords, Sir
JAMES GRAHAM and his friends cry out against
the agitation as traitorous and revolutionary.
Their cries show that they are deeply
wounded ; and we trust, therefore, that Anti-
Corn-law meetings throughout the empire will
continue to ply the moral and religious view of
the question, as most effectual in kindling agita-
tion against the worst law that ever a pretended
paternal Legislature employed to starve an in-
dustrious and skilful people.

Semlin letters of the 13th of May announce
the arrival of the Constantinople mails of the 4th
instant. The news of Bulgarian insurrection
created a great alarm in the Turkish capital, and
at first the SULTAN proposed sending HUSSEIN
PACHA, the destroyer of the Janissaries to quell
it. But after some deliberation the GRAND
VIZIER thought it best to send a deputation of
Bulgarian Christians to the insurgents, with the
strongest assurances of pardon and a full redress
of grievances. TAHIR PACH A, who commands
the expedition against Candia, is a man of a most
cruel and ferocious disposition, and is more likely
to foment than to suppress rebellion.

Brussels Papers of the 26th inst. state that
such is the scarcity of sailors in Holland, that an
entire crew was hired in that city to proceed to
Batavia, and that as an encouragement to the
men three months' wages in advance were paid
them. In France, Belgium, and Holland, the
usual amount of wages in advance is two months.

A letter from Amsterdam of the 24th an-
nounces that an enormous quantity of the Bank
notes of that city are in circulation, and that
they have been received in London in payment
of the Dutch funds negotiated here. The Bank
knew for some time past of their being in circu-
lation, but rather than alarm the merchants here
paid such of them as were presented. This only
increased the confidence of the forgers, who
have thrown such an enormous quantity of them
into the market that the Bank can no longer re-
main silent. The forged notes are executed in a
most masterly style, so that it is almost impossi-
ble for foreigners to detect them.
BRUSSELS, MAY 26.—The average price of wheat last week
was 18f. Olc., and that of rye 10f. 87c. per hectolitre.

The Paris Journals of Wednesday, contain no
news of any interest. The Debats was of opinion
that on that day or the day following, the Minis-
ters would come down to the Chambers with a
message from the KING, relative to the forged
correspondence, and the alleged conversational
pledges given by his MAJESTY to the British
respecting the evacuation of Algiers.
The trial of DARMES is a dull affair, and so
early as Wednesday the Peers appeared to be
sick of it. The lawyers only exhibited signs of
animation and bustle, as vultures are only roused
by the fetid odour from some carcass in a state of
decomposition.
The scarcity and dearness of butchers' meat
continues'ito be loudly:complained of by the work-
ing classes, who cannot be made to comprehend
the patriotism of starving to increase the wealth
of the monopolists. The poor are everywhere
an ungrateful race. Every day we find the
rich troubling themselves about them, and
yet they are neither thankful nor contented.
For them the wealthy provide mendicant
asylums, and prisons, and threadmills, and
silent systems. To keep them in order, and
that they may famish with silent resigna-
tion to the will of Heaven (i. e. the will of
those who think the popular blood is best kept
from fermenting by careful abstinence from the
exciting stimulants of bread and beef) are there
not hosts of Bens d'armes provided with autho-
rity to breathe the veins of the turbulent with
such lancets as no horse-leech ever applied to
the hide of a quadruped ? It has been said

that there is one law for the rich and another for
the poor. In France we should say that all laws
are for the poor for the benefit of the
rich. Wealth knows no law, just as law knows
no guilt in the conduct of a constitutional King.
Unhappily, however, the victims of hunger in
France, are loudest in their denunciations of the
only effectual remedy fur its removal—free
trade. They are famishing, and yet cry aloud
against a system of reciprocity, which would
supply them with abundance of excellent beef
and mutton from Germany and England.

M. Cochelet, French Consul-General at Alexandria, and M.
Gaulthier d'Are, French Consul at Barcelona, have arrived
in Paris.

The Temps states that the house of Balaydier of Lyons has
stopped payment ; and that the house of Messrs. J. Laffitte
and Co., of Paris, are holders of 2,800,000 f. worth of bills of
that firm; but that they have all been accepted with such gua-
rantees that the latter house hasno fear of being losers.
The Queddienne states that Deutz, who betrayed the
Duchess de Berry, has just destroyed himself. " Some time
since," it says, " this man last most considerable sums in spe-
culations on the Stock Exchange. Treachery had enriched
him, rambling has ruined him. Reduced to the most extreme
misery. Deutz has thrown himself into the Seine."
e have received the following letter from Algiers, of the
18th of May :
As soon as General Flugeaud and the Prince set out for Mos-
taganem, increased efforts were made here to prepare every
thing for the immediate opening of the campaign. On the
15th an immense convoy was organised, which set out.on the
following day, taking the road to Blidab, with the expeditionary
column which served as its escort.

The Arabs appear to be disposed to trouble us again. Groups
have again shown themselves at Torre Chika, and the enemy
seemed inclined to venture an attack on the flock belonging to
the Government, which was sent back to the plain of Staoueli.
The enemy appeared at other points, particularly in the environs
of Dovera, the day before yesterday, in the morning, and we
have again to regret some losses on that side. Six colonists
have disappeared, and as no dead body has been found, it is to
be supposed that these unfortunate persons have been taken
into the mountains. We much fear that Abd-el-Kader, instead
of opposing the march of the expedition, will send a consi-
derable force into the Aletiilja, which may do us much injury.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY.-A long discussion took plaec
at the meeting on Wednesday, on the Non-intrusion
Bill introduced into the House of Lords by the Duke of
Argyll. As we foretold some fifteen days ago, when we
published the Bill, the dominant party in the Church
approved of the measure, as it afforded them, in the
words of Mr. Candlish, " somewhat of a hope of deli-
verance." The Rev. Gentleman, in a long speech,
moved a long string of resolutions in favour of the mea-
sure, and was opposed by Dr. Hill, Professor of Divinity
at Glasgow, who proposed that previous to any appli-
cation for legislative enactments on the subject they
should rescind the Veto Act ! On a division the num-
ber for the Duke of Argyll's Bill were 230, and for the
amendment 105, leaving a majority of 125 in favour
of Non-intrusion. The only symptom of common sense
evinced in the discussion, by the men who have thrown
the Church of Scotland into such disorder, was the con-

viction, rather strongly expressed, that the Duke of Ar-
gyll's Bill would not pass. When the Bishops give their
support to such a measure (and the lay Tory Lords will
be guided by them), then shall we be prepared for a re-
form in the House of Peers, and for a vote from the
Right Reverend Bench, that clergymen should be alike
excluded from both Houses of Parliament. Both
parties, as they well might, spoke with great despond-
ency of the present condition of the Presbyterian Esta-
blishment. The discussion on the Strathbogie Presby-
tery was to commence on Thursday last, and if the Non-
Intrusionist party act up to their principles, they must
depose the seven clergymen who obey the law of the
land. It will then be seen whether the Church or the
State is the strongest power.

On the Madrid Exchange, on the 19th, twenty bar-
. gains, to the amount of 1,400,000 reals, were done in
the Fours at 213 to 22, for sixty days ; forty-two, for
23,200,000 reals, in the Fives, for 26- 15-16 for cash,
,5c 28 to ti for various dates. In the Old Debt
without interest, two bargains for 3,000,000 reals were
done at 8, for sixty days. One bargain for a million of
reals in the Modern Debt, at 6k, for sixty days.
MADRID, MAY 22.—A telegraphic despatch has been
received in Paris from Madrid of the above date, an-
nouncing that the Regent had decided on not dissolving
the Cortes. A reduction in the army was to take place,
and a better system of finance was to be introduced,
which appeared to give general satisfaction.
Mr. Scholefield, we are informed, voted with Mr.
Thomas Duncombe for the release of persons confined
for political offences, although his name was omitted,
doubtless accidentally, in the Division List.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, FRIDAY EVENING.
Sir Robert Peel's display last night, had no injurious
effect upon the value of the public securities. On the
contrary, they improved upon the previous quotations
about * per cent, and were more dealt in, even at the ad-
vance: The increased ease felt in the Money Market
was doubtless not without its favourable influence on
prices, since the Bank notice appeared yesterday, for
accommodation in the Stock Exchange has been prof-
fered, and in some instance refused at the rate of 3 per
cent. Out of doors also there is less reserve in
idis-
counting,
and the brokers take n prime mercantile paper
at from 5 to 6 per cent. Consols for immediate
transfer were worth 898 to 90*, and for the Account
901 to 1. The market closing at the highest of these
rates, which exhibit a slight improvement on those of
yesterday. Exchequer Bills touched Bs. and lls. pre-
mium ; India Bonds were at par to 2s. premium ; Bank
Stock advanced from 169 to 1691 ; and India Stock rose
to 2524 and 2531. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cent.
Annuities were worth 988 to 99* ; the Three per Cents.
884 to 89 ; and the Reduced Three-and-a-Half per
Cents., 971 to ?t-.
It is difficult, under all circumstances, to give any
opinion upon the state of the Foreign Market. Such an
obstinate and decided case of dullness in the Foreign
Securities has not existed for a long time past, as we
have had now for several consecutive days. Spanish
Bonds were a shade better to-day, though still very
little doing. The Actives were 234 to 8 for money, and 238
to 24 for Account. The New Five per Cents. Portuguese
Stock was at 34 to *, and the Three per Cents. at 20f.
Colombian Old Bonds were at 211-, Mexican Deferred
at 91, and Dutch Five per Cents. brought 994 to 100.
The pressure in the Share Market still continues, and
this keeps down prices. The Great Western Railway
are to-day marked 261, the New 124 to 13, and the
South-Western 16* premium. Brighton ware 44, and
North Midland 32 discount. Provincial Bank of Ire-
land Shares fluctuated from 18 to 171 premium.
The Foreign Exchanges were generally steady this
afternoon. The most current rates were these :—On Paris
25f. 60c. to 621 c., a trifle lower, on Amsterdam 12 31,
on Antwerp 12 3tol, on llamburgh 13 101 to on
Frankfort 1494, and Trieste 9 59 to 10, which last is an
improvement.

(From The Sun of Last Night.)
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MAY 27.—Very limited
business has been done in the Cotton Market this day, the sales
only amounting to 1,500 bales. All the trade prices continue
steady.
LIVERPOOL SHARE-MARKET, MAY 27.—A moderate
business has been done in the Share Market this day, the fol-
lowing comprise the transactions :—Eastern Counties, 8; Grand

still very limited. Manchester and Birmingham, 244 25 ;

Bank of Manchester 71.

The HatiThurgh Mail of the 25th inst., has arrived, bringing
papers of the same date. Exchange upon London, 13 6A same
as on last post day ; Gold, 430 lower ; Metals, 108} ; Bank
Actions, 1,645.

We have seen a gentleman just arrived from Hamburgh, who
informs us that commercial affairs there arc in a very bad gate,
also in several other parts of Germany.
We have received the Cape of Good Hope shipping list of
the 16th March, and papers to the 17th. The ship Orestes,
Cook, from Liverpool to Sydney with emigrants went on shore
on the evening of Snnday last, 14th inst., on the east side of
Table Bay, crew and passengers saved.
BOURSE OF AMSTERDAM, MAY 25.—The National Funds
are very firm to• day, and the prices are generally higher.

The British funds opened this morning at the leaving off
prices of yesterday 90 fl for 16th of July ; Money, 89/ 90 ;
Exchequer Bills rather better, 7 10 prem. ; Bank Stock, 168
169 ; India Stock, 251 253 ; India Bonds par 2 premium.
It is generally expected that money will soon become more
easy since the issue of the Notice of the Bank yesterday.
In the Foreign Market Spanish Active left off 23a I, at pre-
sent, 23a ; Deferred, ll# ; Passive, 51A ; Portuguese a

We hear that Wakefield has this day surrendered to teh
Court of Bankruptcy ; also that a banker's clerk in the City,
who has been speculating in the Funds, has made a faux pas
in the house.
Although there is a slight improvement in the British Funds,
there is not the slightest spirit for speculating to the present
hour.

Consols may be quoted at present, 908, buyers for the Open-
ing, 16th July; Money, 904. The house is thinly attended, as a
great many of its members have proceeded to the race for the
Oaks. Exchequer Bills have improved, 8 11 prem. ; Bank

LITERATURE.
YOUNG'S POETICAL WORKS.
Smith, London, 1841.
In the present Number of Smith's Standard
Library, we have the whole of Young's poems,
printed in a distinct and elegant type, on excel-
lent paper, and priced •at only five shillin4s.
Such a cheap and compact edition will, we hope,
cause the works of one of the finest poets in the
language, to be more generally read than they
are at present; for though highly popular half a
century ago, there is no question that of late
years Young has been undeservedly neglected.
We are surprised at this neglect, and can
only attribute it to that rage for the homely
and the simple—that for some time past
has been gradually creeping in among us. Un-
doubtedly Young is very often a stiff, formal,
monotonous writer, too fond of spoiling his
noblest passages by point and antithesis; but he
abounds in beauties of the highest and rarest
order; and, when he pleases, can be as natural
and unaffected as could be desired. No man,
not even Shakspeare himself, has penned more
quotable single lines, or struck out more original
ideas. his pathos, for which he used to be
praised by contemporary critics, has never struck
us as remarkable; but his moral reflections
evince great vigour and depth of thought, and
are expressed in language worthy of them. As
a satirist, Swift very justly said of him, that he
should either have been more malicious or more
good-natured; and as a dramatist, his " Re-
venge"—whose chief character is a cold, stately,
scholastic imitation of lago—still keeps possession
of the stage.

THE BISHOP.
How and Parsons, London, 1841.
This is a series of prose letters addressed, as
we are informed in the preface, "by a lay friend
to a recently-appointed bishop," and containing
many sound and serviceable hints on the subject
of the duties of prelates. The idea of the work
was suggested by Mr. Taylor's " Statesman,"
and islikely to be popular among clerical readers.

ROKEBE
Smith, London, 1841.
We have here a republication ofWalter Scott's
poem of Rokeby, complete in one cheap octavo
Number. The edition is one of the handsomest
we have yet seen of this poem.

CHAPTERS ON CHURCHYARDS.
Blackwood, Edinburgh and London, 1841.
A republication, in one neat duodecimo vo.
lurne, of a series of prose tales and sketches, that
appeared several years since, in the pages o
Blackwood's Magazine. The author is Mrs
Southey, late Miss Caroline Bowles.
