THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY, APRIL 29, 1841.

The House of Peers stood adjourned over yes-
terday..
The House of Commons was crowded at an
early hour to hear the expected explanations
' of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and continued crowded
through the whole evening. The Noble Lord
stated, on moving the Order of the Day for the
Committee on the Parliamentary Voters' Bill,
that he did not consider the vote of the House on
Monday night conclusive on such a subject. He
now understood the amendment ofLorct HOWICK
as an addition to the franchise, and accepted
it, in the hope that the House would adopt a fran-
chise of the nature the Ministers had proposed.
They meant, therefore, to proceed with the Bill.
Lord HOWICK then made an extraordinary
speech, a very short summary of which is, that
the question was surrounded with great difficul-
ties; that he meant to withdraw his amendments;
that he was surprised Ministers called on the
House to discuss their Bill, for they must
know it would never pass and recommended
them to postpone the whole subject till
another Session. We presume the Noble
Lord has found out, after having damaged the
Bill by his success, that his own amendments
would be quite inoperative, and therefore, how-
ever good may be his intentions, he cannot carry
them out. In fact, as Mr SHELL observed in the
course of the evening, it would completely dis-
flanchise the whole constituency.
Sir ROBERT PEEL referred at considerable
length to the former proceedings, expressed his
astonishment at the different interpretations put
on Lord HOWICK'S amendment, and gave it as
his opinion that the franchise could only be
settled by the Government.
Lord MonpETH also made a series of observa-
tions on Lord HOWICK'S amendment, tending to
show its disfranchising nature.
After some discursive remarks from Mr. Ser-
geant JACKSON and Mr. H. GRATTAN, the
House went into Committee. On clause 2, Mr.
HUME moved to substitute the tenure of one
year for the tenure of fourteen years, which was
proposed by the Bill, as the basis of the fran-
chise.

A considerable debate ensued, Lord J. RUSSELL
opposed the amendment, and explained the objects
the Ministers contemplated by the clause. There
was much reference to former opinions and
former conduct of Hon. Members touching the
suppression of the 40s. freeholders and Catholic
Emancipation. It was shown that the amend-
ment would make the tenants slaves or martyrs.
Mr. SHELL made a speech that was longer and
less brilliant, though good, than his speeches
usually are. Mr. O'CONNELL also spoke, and
rather warned than threatened the Parliament.
He said he should oppose Mr. HUME'S amend-
ment and support the Government Bill, though
it did not content him. The Tories by the mouth
of Sir. R. PEEL, declared they would follow the
same course. On a division, Mr. HUME'S amend-
ment was lost by 513 to 47.
Subsequently the Hon. Member moved that
Si. be substituted for 8/. as the sum to which the
leaseholders should be rated, and the Tories
again voting with the Ministers, while the Irish
and other Members voted for Mr. HUME, the
numbers were 434 and 126.
On putting the question that the clause stand
part of the Bill, Mr. BROTHERTON called for an
adjournment. Mr. O'CONNELL supported it.
The Tories called to go on. Lord J. RUSSELL rose
and expressed a wish to that effect. The Com-
mittee, however, divided, and the adjournment
was negatived by 429 to 98.
It was then moved that the House resume.
The motion gave rise to a short and smart de-
bate, in which Mr. WA KLEY attacked the Mi-
nisters. In the end it was settled that the House
should resume without coming to a division on
the clause, for which the Tories were anxious.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL stated that were the clause
lost he should give up the Bill. The trial of
strength, then, is to take place this evening at
an early hour.
The House adjourned at Two o'Clock.

We have heard from different quarters that
the Budget, which is to be brought forward on
Friday, will take the public by surprise, and that
some vigorous plans will be proposed for meeting
the exigencies of the Government. We profess
no knowledge on the subject, but this is the ge-
neral belief; and on an occasion of so much im-
portance to the country at large, we shall, as
usual, give the fullest report of the speech of the
CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER in a Second
Edition.

Madrid journals of the 19th inst. have reached
us, but their contents are unimportant. The
escape of CABRERA from France, and his en-
trance into Spain at the head of nine companies,
was rumoured but not credited in Madrid. The
Five per Cents. were at 26 for cash, and 261 at
60 days.

The news brought by the Levant Mail from
Constantinople has not disappointed us. The
new Admiral has commenced his official career
by abolishing the Board for the Administration
of the Navy, and the Commission of Public
Utility, established by the late SULTAN, and
composed chiefly of Frenchmen of science, has
likewise been broken up, yet one of the first acts
of the new Cabinet was to address a circular to
to the European Ambassadors at the Porte,
stating that the rumours of their adopting a
retrogade policy were unfounded ! The disci-
pline of the navy is henceforth to be maintained
by the application of the bastinado to the soles
of the feet, as in the days of the AMURATHS,
the SELIMS, and the MUSTAPHAS.

The Railway Shares, though with but a limited business
doing, were more buoyant to-day. Great Western 29fr to
30i, Ditto New IQ, Ditto Fifths 7 ; South-Western 20i to
2.0 g, and Birmingham 70 premium. Brighton wrre 2to 24,
and North Midland 20 discount.

It appears that the immediate cause of the
disgrace of RESCHID PACHA was his proposing
a commercial code which some of the Ulernas
objected to as unnecessary, because not indicated
in the Koran. The Minister, chafed by the
absurdity of such an objection, declared that
the Koran could not take cognizance of -a state
of things which did not exist when it was written,
and which had grown out of an advanced state
of civilization. The Koran was not sufficient
as a code of laws now, as when it was written
there were no maritime insurances, no bills of
exchange, no steam-boats, no quarantine, and
properly speaking, no international commerce,
such as now prevails throughout the world. The
priests took fire at this, and threatened never
to enter the Council unless the Minister
was dismissed, which followed accordingly.
Nov while the Turkish Cabinet is thus com-
pelled to be guided in every act by the priest's
interpretation of the Koran, it is impossible to
maintain the integrity of the Ottoman empire.
The very principle carries within it the seeds of
the dissolution of the Turkish power. Nations
can only maintain their independence by such
continual modifications of their institutions as
may keep them in harmony with the ever-
onward movement of civilization. While the
profession of the Turks was war, and when every
purchase was made with the sword, the Koran
supplied abundant rules for the government of
such a state of society, but peace and the cultiva-
tion of the arts and sciences have produced an
entirely new order of things,
and unless the
Ulemas and Imaums contrive to twist a more
liberal policy out of it,
Turkey must, sooner or
later, fall a
prey to one or other of the more
civilized States who now stand forth as her pro-
tectors.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, APRIL 27.—The sales
of Cotton this day have again been exceedingly limited, and
the trade very flat ; 100 bales have been purchased by the
consumers, and 209 have been taken for export. In price no
alteration whatever.
LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET, APRIL 27.—A very limited
business has been transacted in the Share Market to-day ;
and the rates have for the most part evinced a declining ten-
dency:—Glasgow, Paisley, and Greenock, 24 ; Great
Western, New Shares, 63; North Midland, 80. Nothing

Queen had not arrived.

PHILADELPHIA, Aram I.—The investigation of affairs
at the United States' Bank has resulted in the discharge of
thirteen clerks. The accounts from Philadelphia state that
money matters were easy there, but business among the mer-
chants is quite dull. There was a large business in Stocks to-
day, United Bank improved ; 100 of the United States
Bank, at 19i.

The British Funds have remained inactive during the morn_ '
ing, and the prices stationary, without the least feature worth
notice. It is not expected that any business of consequence
will take place before the appearance of the Budget. Motley
continues at the saa.e rate as yesterday,. rather tight. The
Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon were most of them
lower.

The speculators and brokers are anxious for a loan, as it will

neral is to be solemnised with great pomp and attempted to employ against the royalty of July, the origin, du-
ceremony. These Papers bring no account of
ration, and strength of *which irritate and drive them to des-
pair. Yes, you have obtained a certain degree of success;
the President steamer. you have given cause for sadness by your successful impudence
as you have given food for indignation by your insolent perfidy
to all the honest me;, who, wishing for the maintenance of our
institutions. know that royalty does, and must always, hold
among them a prominent place. You have been able to do this
—we confess it, and with sorrow; but do not think for all this
that you have changed anything in the fundamental impotency
of your conditions. You are still the party which has been
conquered by the nation, condemned, and rejected by it a
thousand times within the last 50 years. You were a party only
of recollections, and miserable recollections. You are the
party which finishes its boastings by displays of fear, and its
menaces by ejaculations of entreaty. This is what you were
esterday, and what are to-day, only with a little more cynic-
ism, and a little more cause for shame than you had before.
After all, it must not be that this party, which is so little to be
feared in itself, should be allowed to assume so much confi-
dence ; it must not be that it should be suffered to dream of a
future career to which no penalty can be attached. Govern-
ment has in its hands laws which will be sufficient for recalling
to order and calmness the madheadedness of lovers of disorder.
It cannot hesitate to make use of them for punishing whoever
may be culpable, and for guaranteeing public security with the
respect due to the constitutional throne. A whole nation will
not allow itself to be crossed in its feelings, and opposed in its
will by a factious coterie. The present Ministry, not less de-
voted to the King than to the institutions of the country, will
not be unmindful of its duty."
AN ARAB ORPHAN.—During the expedition to Medeah,
and in the midst of one of the engagements, a poor little Arab
girl, only eight years old, was on the field, and was going to
be shot by the French soldiers, when Lieutenant-Colonel Beg-
nault rushed forward, caught the child in his arms, and carried
her behind the ranks. " You shall be my father," said the
little thing ; and since his return to Algiers this officer has
taken measures for her proper support. Her parents were
killed by mistake during one of the razias, having been sup-
posed to be enemies, while in reality they were allies of the
French.— Gazette du Midi.
We extract the following from a letter dated Adrianople, the
26th ult. :—" A frightful event has spread consternation among
the inhabitants of the city. It is customary on the day of the
Forty Martyrs, which in the Greek calendar falls on the 21st
of March, for everybody to leave the town and walk through
the adjoining country, in order to celebrate the return of
spring. In order to repair to the place of general rendezvous,
it was necessary to cross the Marizza, but the stone bridge not
being finished, the local authorities had caused a temporary
wooden bridge to be thrown across the river for the accommo-
dation of the pilgrims. The latter, however, wanted solidity,
and gave way under the weight of the passengers, 75 of whom,
mostly Greeks, fell into the river. All, with the exception of
three, who could swim, were drowned in presence of 25,000
spectators, who were unable to afford them any assistance.
The Univers says " The following passages of a letter, per
Porto Bello, dated 15th February, 1841, has been communi-
cated to us :—.You know that the English possessed for about
80 years this country, known by the name of the Musquito
shore. They abandoned it in 1777-78, but as it seems not
without regret. Now they are the masters and legitimate pos-
sessors of it. The King of the Mosquito Indians inhabiting the
ancient province of Honduras, in ancient America, who died
lately, has left a will, in which he declares Queen Victoria his
sole heir, and gives to her and her successors all the rights
which he possessed to the sovereignty of this country.
" Thus the English at e masters of 125 leagues of coast on
the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Honduras, and this impor-
tant acquisition has cost them nothing but the expense of the will.
This is a secure step to the acquisition of the isle of Penance, so
greatly coveted by England, which will establish itself there, by
fair means or foul, sooner or later, but infallibls, being wonder-
fully a, conded by the state of anarchy with which the provinces
of South America, formerly belonging to Spain, are plunged;
a situation which forebodes, in less than a century, a second
conquest of America by England."
The fortifications are scarcely begun, and we have already
to announce that a contractor who had undertaken a military
road, has become bankrupt and absconded.
The journals which advocate the fortifying of Paris daily
labour to the utmost to deceive the public respecting the
direction given to the execution of the works. It is
in vain that Marshal Soult declares they are making every
positive promise respecting the simultaneous execution
of the rampart and the bastilles ; in order to con-
ceal their aefeat they announce that the works of the
continuous wall are proceeding with extraordinary activity.
New the following is correctly the degree of activity with which
the works were going on yesterday at the Bois de Boulogne,
where 10,000 workmen, as they say, were employed. (Then
follow the details of the number of workmen at each section
of the line, of which the following regimen is the result:—
Total 564 workmen employed on the continuous wall, on the
west of Paris, to the extent of above 8,000 metres, while there
are 1,000 or 1,200 at the Citadel of Charenton. )—Le Commerce.
ITALIAN FRONTIERS, APRIL 13.—The King of Sardinia
is resolved, in company with the Duke of Savoy, to travel in
various directions through his dominions, in order to examine
in person any thing that needs correction, and to provide
means to remedy it. His Majesty intends to pay a long visit
to the island of Sardinia in particular. As the apprehensions
of a war with France are daily abating, the King has given
orders to reduce the army by about 6,000 men (300 from each
regiment) ; the chief motive for this is the King's wish to pro-
mote agriculture, which he is unwilling to deprive of so many
hands without necessity.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
The Funds were all up again to-day, the public by their
purchases having shown that they do not participate in the in-
clination of some of the jobbers to speculate on the mad scheme
of a change of Ministry. For Money Consols were worth 894
in the morning, and before the close, had got up to soi and
; for May the quotations were firmer at 904 to 90i ; Ex-
chequer Bills were marked 13s. to 15s. premium ; and India
Bonds 2s. to 4s. prem.; Bank Stock was at 1714 to 170, a
decline of nearly 2/ per cent. It is difficult to state the pre-
cise reason of this tall, but it appears to be the uncertainty
which prevails as to what decisiou will be come to by the Com-
mittee on currency affairs, whether the issue of notes will be
recommended to be taken entirely into the hands of a Board of
Commissioners appointed by Parliament, or whether one bank
will have that power conferred on it under certain restrictions.
The value of India Stock was 254/ ; the Reduced Three-and-
Half per Cents, were 974 to ; and the New Three-and-a-
Half per Cents. 988 to /.
The settlement in the Foreign House takes place to-mor-
row, and hence we have had but few bargains. Spanish Ac-
tive Bonds were at 238 to /, Portuguese (New) Five per
Cents. at 34k, and the Three per Cents. at 20/, being a
slight improvement. Mexican Bonds of 1837 were at 30 to
29/, and Colombian Bonds at 224, which is but a fractional
alteration on the previous rates. Brazilian Bonds were 69 to
Buenos Ayres 23/, and Peruvian 17i. French Five per

A more brilliant day, in every respect, it has rarely been our
lot to record; the assemblage of all classes was immense,—the
weather, as bright and warm as if it had been July instead of
April,—the sport excellent, and the 2,000 Guineas Stakes one of
the most interesting races ever witnessed. During the whole
of the morning the town was thronged, and the procession to
the heath, for such it was in appearance, reminded us of the
" golden days" of Newmarket. The grand event of the day
proved as important to the sporting world as it was interesting
to the spectators—it brought out a formidable field of public
and dark horses, and had a marked influence on the Derby
betting.
The following are details of the day's races, the results only
having been forwarded from the heath :
Queen's Plate—Maid of Ipswich made all the running at a
steady pace,Currency lying next, and Barbakin third ; they
retained these positions to the New T. Y. C. post, where Bar-
bakin made an effort for the lead but failed, and was passed
at the plantation by Currency, who challenged at the top of the
hill, and after a splendid race won by a neck.
Match, 200—Capote made play to the cords, where he was
collared, and after a slashing race was beaten by a head.
TWO THOUSAND GUINEA STAKES.

This was a fast true run race, and might be described in a
few words, Ralph having made his own running, and son very
easily ; its importance, however, not only as a great betting
race, but as an event affecting the speculations on the Derby,
requires that we should enter more fully than usual into de-
tails. Ralph, . then, took the lead at a strollg pace, followed
fur about two hundred yards by Cesarewitch, and then
by Mustapha, Mobarek, and Joachim, Eringo and
Arundel, overpaced, lying in the rear. Without any
material change of position they ran to the cords,
where Mustapha and Joachim headed Mobarek, and made a
gallant struggle, for second—for the race they had no chance,
' as Ralph maintained his lead to the end, and won easy by a
length ; it is not too much to say, indeed, that he had won at
the bushes. Joachim beat Mustapha by a head, and Arundel
and Mobarek by nearly two lengths, but which was fourth,
the crowd at the post prevented us from ascertaining ; all that
we could make out was that it was a very near thing between
the two, and that Eringo was handy with them. Metternich
and Cesarewitch were beaten off.
Immediately after the race 2,100t0 300 was taken about Ralph
for the Derby. Mustapha ran on unfavourable terms, having
met with an accident in his journey down, by which his hind
legs were cut. (We were intormed that the floor of the van
gave way, and that he was dragged on his hind legs several
yards. )
Three Hundred Sovereign Stakes.—Stamboul made all the
runnings to the Duke's Stand, where Black Beck went up,
headed him m a few strides, and won by two lengths, with no•
thing to spare.

On Saturday, March 27, 1841, President Harrison,
after several days' previous indisposition, was seized
with a chill and other symptoms of fever. The next
day pneumonia, with congestion of the liver and de-
rangement of the stomach and bowels, was ascer-
tained to exist. The age and debility of the patient,
with the immediate prostration, forbade a resort to
general blood-letting. Topical depletion, blistering, and
appropriate internal remedies, subdued, in a great mea-
sure, the disease of the lungs and liver, but the stomach
and intestines did not regain a healthy condition. Finally,
on the 3d April, at three o'clock P.M., profuse diarrhoea
came on, under which he sank at 30 minutes to one o'clock
on the morning of the 4th.
The last words uttered by the President, as heard by
Dr. Worthington, where these : " Sir, I wish you to un-
derstand the true principles of the Government. I wish
them carried out. I ask nothing more."

With regard to the health of Mr. Tyler, there need be
no fears. Ile is not exceedingly robust, but he is very far
from being too feeble to attend to the duties of the high
station to which he has been ca'led. He will be the Pre-
sident; and under his auspices all the cardinal measures of
our party will be carried into full effect, to the glory and
happiness of the country. His qualifications for the Pre.
sidency are beyond all question. To talents of the first
order he unites great prudence and firmness, and is a
high-toned gentlemanly Virginian in conduct and bearing.

WASHINGTON, SUNDAY, APRIL 4, one o'eleck.--The
Hero of North Bend is no more. At twelve meridian, the
city was all alive with the joyous intelligence that the
President was convalescent. I saw several of the teculty,
who assured me that he was out of danger, and that the
disease had reached its crisis. I had my fears at the
time, because the recovery, I thought, was too sudden to
be decisive. At five, P.M. the disease took a fatal turn,
having fallen on the bowels—the President sank rapidly
from that hour, and all that medical skill could do was
exerted in vain. There has been the most intense anxiety
all the evening, and the mansion has been crowded Kith
the citizens of the district and visitors, all desirous to
learn what hopes were to be entertained.
The bulletins of health in the papers were, for the most,
part favourable ; indeed too much so. The President ex
hibited symptoms to his surrounding nurses, which inti-
mated a fat 1 termination, three da3 .go; such as pick
ing the bed clothes, and such like. He said esterday to
a female attendant—" Ah. Fanny, I am ill, very itl—
much more so than they think in ."
What may be the melancholy result to this country,
time alone can determine. The time was when a day
was big with the fate of Cato and of Rome—this hour is
indeed big with the fate. of this nation.

The railroad line from Philadelphia, arrived last night,
brought the afflicting intelligence of the death of the Pre-

deeply to impress us with the vanity of all human expec-

was the railing cry of patriotism, and under his banne,
ranged themselves all that was great and good in th.
nation. Their fervent wishes accomplished, their ardent
aspirations gratified by his election, they looked forward to
the fruition of the wise and beneficent plans of public
polity, which he bad declared should be the landmarks of

EXPRESS FROM LIVERPOOL

LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY.
We have another arrival at Liverpool
this morning from the United States. The
British Queen, Captain Franklin, reached Li-
verpool, bringing New York papers to the
12th, Baltimore, Boston, and Philadelphia to the
11th. The arrival of the British Queen puts us
in possession of•the important announcement of
the death of General Harrison, the new Pre-
sident of the American Republic, after the short
reign of one month in the high office to which
he had been elected by the citizens of the United
States.

The Gallant General breathed his last
on the morning of the 4th, and the Vice-
President (John Tyler) was installed in the
Presidential Chair of his predecessor on the
6th. The prevailing opinion at New York is,
that . President Tyler will carry out the views
of General Harrison's foreign policy, hut that
the question of a National Bank will not meet
his encouragement.
The political and commercial news from the
United States is unimportant.
The latest arrivals at New York and Boston
from Liverpool had a tendency to make the
holders of cotton demand higher prices.
The rates of exchange on England were 61
to 7 ; and at these quotations for the best
paper a large business was transacted for the
British Queen. This arrival has not fur-
nished any news of the missing steam-
ship President, it is therefore pretty clear
that she cannot have reached Bermuda, and the
only hope now is, that she has succeeded in
reaching some of the distant Westlndia Islands.
The news from Canada is not important.
CITY OF WASUINGTON, APRIL 4, 1841.
An aq-wise Providence having suddenly removed from
this lire, Wiliam Henry Harrison, late President of the
United States, we have thought it our duty, in the recess
Congre, and in the absence of the Vice-President
from the seat of Government, t 6 make this aflcting be.
reavertient known to the country, by this declaration,
under our hands.
He died at the President's house, in this city, this 4th
day of April, Anno Domini, 1841, at thirty minutes be-
fore one o'clock in the morning.
The people of the Unites, overwhelmed like
ourselves, by an event so unexpected and so
melancholy, will derive consolation from knowing
that his death was calm and resigned, as his life has
been patriotic, useful, and. distinguished; and that the
last utterance of his lips expressed a fervent desire for the
perpetuity of the Constitution, and the preservation of its
true principles. In death, as in life, the happiness of his
country was upermost ir. his thoughts.
