DEPARTURE OF THEIR ROYAL
HIGHNESSES THE DUCHESS OF KENT AND
PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF LEININGEN.

Her Majesty and Prince Albert, with the Duchess of Kent
and Prince and Princess of Leiningen and suite, left Bucking-
ham Palace on Thursday mornine. at a quarter past 12, for the
purpose of proceeding to Woolwich', from which place their Royal
Highnesses the Duchess of Kent and the Prince and Princess of
Leiningen, intended embarking on board the Firebrand steamer
for,the Continent. The Royal cortege consisted of three carriages
and four, in the first of which were her Majesty and Prince Albert,
the Duchess of Kent and the Princess of Leiningen. The an-
nouncemant that her Majesty was expected to pass through
Greenwich, caused the streets to be lined with inhabitants,
who cheered the illustrious party as it passed in a very en-
thusiastic manner, which her bilitabtY and Prince Albert
acknowledged in a gracious manner. Her Majesty appeared
in excellent health and spirits. The Royal party proceeded
on to Woolwich at a rapid rate, and arrived at the dock-
yard precisely at one o'clock, where it was received by Lord
Blomfield, Colonel Lacy, and Colonel Coruttenden. Upon
her Majesty's alighting, a Royal salute was fired from the
mortar barracks, and the band of the Royal Marines
played the national anthem. The landing-place was
covered by green cloth, and the Royal Artillery and 61st Re-
giment, with a company of the Royal Marines, were drawn
up on each side. One of the Admiralty barges being kreadi-
ness at the stairs, the Royal party entered and proceeded to the
Firebrand, which laid a short distance off the shore. Her Royal
Highness and the Prince and Princess of Leiningen were re-
ceived on board the steamer by Admiral Sir W. Parker. Her
Majesty kissed her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent twice very
affectionately previously to her quitting the barge. Prince Lei-
ningen also kissed her Majesty's hand, and afterwards her
cheek. Upon the Duchess of Kent embarking, a salute was fired
by four six-pounders of the Royal Artillery ; another salute
was also fired upon her Majesty coming on shore, the various
military bands playing, arid the cheering of the people, to-
gether with the fineness of the day, made the scene of a very
animated description. Her Majesty left the dock-yard at half-
past one, and was received on her return with every feeling of
respect and gratification. Shortly after her Majesty's departure
the Firebrand, with her d:stinguished passengers, left her moor-
ings on her passage for Ostend.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.
On Thursday a Court was held for the despatch of business.

FA RILING DON NEW STREET.
Mr. It. L. JONES brought up the Report from the Farring-
don New-street Committee, which recommended that a bond to
the Bank of England should be signed, for the further sum of
5,0001., to be advanced for Farringdon new street .
Mr. WELLS, objected to the granting of large sums of mo-
ney by the Court, without receiving information as to the pro-
gress made in the object for which the money was required.
Why, he wished to know, was not the new street proceeded
with ?

Mr. R. L. JoNes said that it was impossible that the City
could proceed more rapidly than they were proceeding in the
matter, until the Committee of the House of Commons, be-
fore whom the plan was laid, should come to a decision.
Mr. 11. TAyr.on expressed surprise that the City Surveyor's
Report on Mr. Moseley's plan as to Holborn •hill was not laid
before the Court.

Mr. It. L. JONES said that the idea of elevating the ground
at the bottom of Farringdon-street, was quite ridiculous ;
such a plan would destroy an enormous quantity of property in
Farringdon -street, while a viaduct would not only cost less,
but afford immensely greater accommodation to the public
(Hear, hear.) The Committee of the House of Commons en-
tertained the same opinion, but as yet there were no funds to
meet the charges of so great an undertaking.
The report was then' agreed to.
The Court adjourned after the transaction of some business
of no public interest.
There are, it is stated, three candidates for the City Comp-
trollenhip :—Mr. James, the secondary ; Mr. Thomas Saun-
ders, the solicitor ; and Mr. Tyrrell, the solicitor to the Com-
missioners of Sewers. Until the office is filled, Mr. C. Pear-
son, the city solicitor, is to perform the duties of comptroller.

THE ADDITIONAL FIVE PER CENT. DUTY
—A return has just been made to the House of Commons
of the produce of the additional five per cent. duty on
each article subject to Excise, the Custom's duty, and As-
sessed Taxes. The return gives the produce of only one
half year of this duty for England, no more having been
collected. The whole year's duty for Scotland, and the
second half year's duty for England is now in a course of
collection. The amount for the half year ending the sth
of April, 1841, for England,' was as follows:—Excise,
444,1841. ; Customs, 915,0041., and Assessed Taxes,
136,9511.—T0ta1, 1,496,139/.

THE NEW-ROYAL EXCHANGE.-011 WC&
nesday the Gresham Committee assembled and gave di-
rections that fourteen of the principal builders in Lon-
don should be applied to for tenders, for the rebuilding of
the new Royal Exchange. The foundation of the build-
ing, which was contracted for by Messrs. Webb, of
Clerkenwell, is nearly completed, and it is highly ap-
proved of by the architect and surveyors. The tenders
for the whole structure are to be delivered early in
August, and it is expected that the new Exchange will
be opened in a perfect state, by the 20th of June, 1844.

PERSONAL ADORNMENT is influenced by no-
thing more materially than a luxuriant crop of hair I To de-
prive the countenance of expression, what can contribute more
than the absence of this natural ornament—whisk enhances

been particularly directed to the discovery of various adjuncts
to personal adornment, and to this end the reproduction of
the hair has occupied by far ths greatest share and attention.
Of the numerous compounds professing to promote or repro-
duce the hair, few have survived—even in name, whilst Row-
land's Macassar Oil, with a reputation already unparalleled, is
still on the increase in public estimation. This celebrated
Oil, besides possessing the properties above-mentioned;has the
power of retaining the curl, in its natural or acquired state—
at the same time bestowing a brilliant gloss and silk-like
softness—unequalled; and, when it is known that her Majesty
and Illustrious Consort have long Patronized " Rowland's
Macassar Oil," it is an authority which stamps its superior
excellence and title to all attempts of a similar nature.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS
FROM TILE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.
CHRONICLE.—The speech of Sir Robert Peel last night
was what we declared it would be when he first announced 'ire
motion of want of confidence—a movement in a false direc-
tion. We stated then, and we now repeat, that he could not
render a more essential service to Ministers and to the coun-
try than by affording an opportunity for a discussion, in the
coarse of which it would not be in his power, by any man-
oeuvring, to prevent the great question on which parties are
now at issue, from being brought distinctly before the nation.
It was clear to every one who heard the flight Honourable Ba-
ronet, that his own judgment condemned the course he was
pursuing. He was evidently impressed by a consciouseies4,
that whatever result his motion might have, it would nll
against. himself. It is as not the speech of a leader cheering on
his troops to assured victory. A tone of hopelessnes,
pervaded it. Instead of a bold arraignment of Mi-
nisters, on clear and intelligible grounds, it was
made up of assumptions of technical grounds of jus-
tification of the course he was pursuing, and throughout the
Right Hon. Bat onet seemed to feel as if he were on his own
trial. Every now and then we could perceive that he was de-
fending himself against his own party—as if he were answering
the charges lately brought against him by the Times Journal of
nut doing enough, when out of office, to ensure his return to
power. Sir Robert act out with stating, what no one would
think of disputing, that a Ministry ought to possess the coe-
&nee of the House of Commons, and he gave himself much
unnecessary trouble to go over the parliamentary history of
the country since the Revolution, to prove that Ministers,
when they ceased to command majorities in the House of
Commons, usually resigned. But though it may be necessary
to command the confidence of the House of Commons, it is
not necessary to command the confidence of any one House
of Commons. No prerogative of the Crown is more essen-
tial for the safe working of the Constitution, than the
power of appealing to the country by a dissolution. With-
out such a power a House of Commons would, like the
Long Parliament, become a permanently supreme power.
When Sir Robert observed that it is dangerous to set up the
implied or supposed opinions of constituencies against their de-
clared and authorised organ, the House of Commons—that the
House and the Constituencies should not be brought into this
unseemly contest," he said what literally amounted to nothing.
It was true, if applied le., an abstract House of Commons, but
not,true, it applied to any particular llouse ; else why the power
to dissolve when the Crown allows .the country to judge be-
tween its servants and a House of Commons? During a great'
part of the period travelled over by the Right Honourable Ba-
ronet, Ministers usually resigned at once on being outvoted,
because in the then state of the representation an appeal from
a majority would have been an absurdity. Except under such
very peculiar circumstances as those which induced Mr. Pitt
to appeal to the country when the coalition between
North, Fox, and Burke had excited a strong feeling
of indignation against them, there could be no hope
from a dissolution. So long as a Ministry were to the taste of
the boroughmongers, they commanded a large majority, and
the decrease of a large to a small majority was tantamount to
defeat. But defective as the Reform Bill may still have left
the representation, it has annihilated the boroughmongers, and
it cannot niw be said that the same individuals who returned
the Representatives to one House of Commons return the Re-
presentatives to its successor. The Reform Bill has made the
prerogative of dissolution a real and substantive part of the
Constitution. When it is allowed that Ministers have the
power to dissolve Parliament, and appeal to the nation, the
question is at an end. They have not, as Sir Robert Peel
himself admits that he did, continued to govern the country
with majorities against them, not only in the whole House,
but in Committees, for months, in a House of Commons
summoned by himself, hut all the attempts of their opponents
to possess themselves of powei have been foiled. The Ministry
have not, it is true, a great majority, but Sir Robert will not
contend that a minority is better than a majority.
TIMES.—In as far as Sir Robert Peel's motion proposes to
affirm that " her Majesty's Ministers do not sufficiently possess
the confidence of Parliament to enable them to curry measures
which they deem essential to the welfare of the country," it
only expresses, in a civil and ceremonious way, what those
Ministers themselves can neither disguise nor disown. Indeed,
from the night when they effected a re-entrance into Down-
ing-street up to the present moment they have been destitute
of all the attributes of office, except its mere patronage and
booty ; of real power or popularity they have none. Many
of their mischievous machinations have been ignominously
defeated ; but, unless with the concurrence and aid of the Con-
servative party (as in the Irish Tithe and Corporations Bill),
not a single proposal of theirs of any importance—no, not even
with O'Connell's tail at their back—have they been able to
procure acceptance for, from either branch of the Legislature.
Whether we recur to their home or colonial policy on matters
which they have uniformly represented as essential to the public
weal, we find, that so far from having commanded the confi-
dence of Parliament during any part of their career, their whole
Cabinet history has been a series of humiliating defeats. Their
factious and predatory plan fur supplanting Sir Robert Peel's
abolition of- Church-rates—their vile attempt to suppress Pro-
testant worship in various parts of Ireland—their scandalous
endeavour to discard religion from the general education of the
people—the tyrannical coup d'etat whereby they sought to ex-
tinguish the free Constitution of Jamaica—their high-handed
despotism in reference to the Canadian provinces—their nefa-
rious jobbery in the Newport-Monteagle affair—their guilty and
alarmed opposition toMr. Herries's motionfor the production of
the public accounts—their base attempt to disfranchise Ludlow
for having rejected that everlasting French lacquey of theirs,.
Monsieur De Larpent—their heartless profligacy in having
courted Royal favour at the expense of exposing Prince Albert
to the perilous unpopularity inseparable from an exorbitant al-
lowance—their veaal resistance to Lord Stanley's Bill for the
reform of the Irish registries—their despicable project for a 51.
qualification on behalf of O'Connell's myrmidons, while yet
refusing the same privilege to Englishmen in a similar rank of
life—their licentious registry-abortion (of which that offensive
piece of Irish favoritism was a part) begotten by their Popish
Attorney-General, but of which the immaculate Lord Mor-
peth consented to become the putative father—and
finally, their last desperate sally upon British commerce,
by a reckless and premature assault upon some of
its principal branches—on all these important points
(what others have they successfully dealt with ?)
they have been arrested, exposed, handcuffed, and horse-
whipped—ay, to an extent unparalleled in the calendar of
Ministerial degradation. Connectecrwith the preceding proofs
of Sir Robert Peel's proposition, " that the Queen's Ministers
do not sufficiently possess the confidence of . the House of
Commons," it is necessary to bear in mind that this fact has
been distinctly admitted, both by Lord Melbourne in the
House of Peers, and also by Mr. Babington Macaulay, in a
lugubrious harangue of his to the Edinburgh electors. The
same truth was forcibly pressed upon the Whigs by Viscount
Howick in the House of Commons, when, in justification of
his retirement from the Ministry, he informed them, in a spirit
worthy of his noble sire, that though he should still continue to
give them a discriminating and independent support, he could
not disguise from himself that they were rapidly losing their
friends, and that neither the House nor the country
reposed in them the confidence necessary to an effi-
cient Government. The acknowledgment of Lord Melbourne,'
that " the worst possible Administration was that which
could not carry its own measures," was abundantly corrobo-
rated, not only by Mr. Macaulay's confession of the weakness,
uncertainty, and failure which night after night paralyzed their
vulgar Liberalism, but by a series of Parliamentary 'discern-
fitures which, while ratifying in thick succession the unguard-
ed admissions of those Ministers, showed that their continued
retention of office, in spite of such defeats, was as humiliating
to their personal honour as it was repugnant to the Constitu-
tion of the country. Considering, then, that the first part of
Sir Robert Peel's motion has been repeatedly assented to by
the Ministers themselves, the question naturally arises, what
are the subterfuges by which they will seek to parry the second
part of it, which really contains its sting ? Why, with the
view of showing that their refusal to bow to the reiterated dis-
missals which they have received from Parliament, how much
seever it may have violated the theory of the Constitution, has
at least been sanctioned by a number of weighty precedents,
they will doubtless refer us not only to the case of Mr. Pitt
in 1783, but to the example of Mr. Perceral in 1610, and
finally, to Sir Robert Peel's owe procedure in 1838.
POST.—Never was a more shameless falsehood uttered
than that of the Whig-Radical Ministerialists that the senti-
ment of the people of England is in favour of the late and
present conduct of the Melbourne Government. It neither is
so, nor is at all likely that it should be. In the first place,
every intelligent Englishman knows that the late advocacy of
free-trade measures by the Ministry is in direct opposition to
what they have advocated on previous occasions, and the
English people de not like such changes. Even if they were
in favour of the new policy—which they are not—they would
not much approve of seeing it carried into effect by men who
have hitherto given it their utmost resistance. It is no new
thing to have submitted to the House of Commons measures
for the more ready admission of foreign sugars, foreign timber,
and foreign corn. Almost every session these measures have
been brought forward, and the leading men of the Melbourne
Government have resisted them. It is not because they now
choose to adopt them that the English people will approve of
their conduct, and desire to keep them in office. In the
second place it is not believed, nor is there any reason to be-
lieve that these measures have been brought forward from any
newly-obtained conviction that they would be for the public
good. The general belief is, and it is a very well-founded be-
lief, that had not Ministers been very much afraid of losing
their places, they would have brought forward no such mea-
sures. It is not for the country's good, but fur their own (qv-
posed) party and personal advantage, that these measures have
been brought forward. They expected (but, as usual, they
miscalculated) that the proposal of such measures would give
them that popularity without which they were aware that a
long continuance in office was scarcely possible. At all events
this popularity—if by any means it could be attained—
afforded the best chance. It is not because Ministers are
at last driven to play a desperate game, and to plunge into
the moat palpable inconsistencies for the chance of popular
support, that the people of England (who see through
the trick) will support them. In the third place it is not ge-
nerally' believed (because all ground of rational belief is quite
the other way), that Ministers, when they proposed their new
measures with respect to sugar, timber, and corn, had the
slightest intention, or the remotest expectation, of carrying
any one of them through Parliament. It is the gene:al, con-
fident, anti reasonable belief that they proposed these measures
well knowing that they had no more chance of carrying them
than they had of ascertaining the degree of heat in the planet
Saturn by means of the thermometers hung up in the House
of Commons. Now, the people of England are not likely to
approve of a Government which brings forward measures
which it knows it cannot carry. This is all very well fur the
Opposition, whose business is merely to affect the public mind,
and nut to carry on the Government. But they who are en-
trnsted by the Sovereign with the carrying on of the public
business, ought not to degrade the Crown by the bringing for-
ward of unsuccessful experiments. Indeed, when a Minister
brings forward a propositiob as a part of the scheme of Go.
vernment for carrying on the public service, the practice of
the Constitution implies that he will carry it, or yield the Go-
vernment into other hands.
ADVERTISER.—The vanity of human expectations was
never more forcibly illustrated than in the last night's grand
party motion of Sir Robert Peel, for a vote of want of confi.
dance in the Ministry. It was .brought on with so touch
feebleness, and with so much coyness, by the Right Honour-
able Gentleman, as to produce neither excitement among his
supporters nor despair among his opponents. It was empha-
tically
a dull speech—abounding in instances not pertinent to
the occasion—a speech of points, not of principles—which
touched himself full as much as his opponents, and which was
felt by the eager adventurers of his own party to be a sore dis-
couragement, while his antagonists were simply amused by the
ponderous incapacity of the Tory Goliath, that was to have de-
stroyed, root and branch, by one fell swoop, all the Ministerial
farces. As we expected, Sir Robert Peel only succeeded in
convincing his friends that so long as the policy of their party
should be left in the hands of a leader so cautions and prudent
not to say timorous and reluctant, their reversion to office mus
be far distant, and if obtained, not tenable for long. He,

on the other hand, it must be admitted, seemed anxious
to declare off, and in several tarts of his speech, indi-
cated an inclination, if not a determination, to snake
himself independent of all advice or control, whether
it should issue from the thundering Times, or his own
teasing and impracticable supporter. Upon the whole, the im-
pression left en our minds, and on many others of al parties
with whom we have since conversed, is, that Sir Robert Peel
had obeyed unwillingly the directions of his party, in a course
which he could not sanction ; arid it is indeed obvious that the
Tories could gain nothing, whilst they might lose all the de-
lusion in their favour resulting from the temporary adhesion of
a few anti-slavery, and corn-law people, who for the nonce
swelled his majority on the sugar duties debate. Since any
majority less than that must, pro tanto, diminish its value, and
show, that though it iiklicated the sense of the House upon the
occasion, it was not a test of the estimation in which the Go-
vernment and their policy were generally held : on the other
hand, if the Ministers should obtain a maj..rity, the former
decision would be wholly reversed, and the Ministry would be
reinstated in Parliamentary confidence, as well as in that of
the people. But the speech, like all Sir Robert Peel's expo-
sitions, indicated more by its omissions than by what it con-
tained. He avoided every matter of substance. He confined
himself to the technicalities and conventional practices of Par-
liament ; as if the people care one jot for these, except so far
as they coincide with and enforce the objects for which Parlia-
ments exist, viz., the wish and will of the people. It was, in
short, a complete begging of the question ; of what ought to
be the rule and practice of Parliament in such matters.
HERALD.—It will be seen from the report which we pub-
lish, in this day's Herald, of the speech of Sir Robert Peel,
last night, that our anticipations (as they have been recorded
from day to day for some time past), have not been disap-
pointed. The Right lion. Baronet began by showing how
great was the extent of the political imbecility of the existing
Government, to which he proposed to apply a remedy (by
putting on record the remarkable resolution with which he
concluded), and how incalculable were the amount and the
operation of the consequences to be anticipated from the affir-
mation of such a resolution. It may be important at another op-
portunity, to consider, in the first place, what were the princi-
pal results to be thus looked to, in contemplation of the exigen-
cies of our present position, and what were the remedial measures
which were to be applied to it, in reference to the im-
mediate aspect of political affairs. And hero we cannot help
remarking, that on no former occasion have we observed a
more interesting or effective example of that faculty of order
and arrangement which is his peculiar forte, thin Sir Robert
I Peel displayed last night in his mode of bringing under the
notice of all parties in the House his Bill of indictment against
the (present) Government. To borrow a phrase from
Southey, he fairly called " the great in office—to judgment.
And it must be allowed he was no flatterer of those who rise
in the mull by vehement professions, at the expense of per-
formance, and practical duty. It will be seen that he plunged
in ngedias res. He gave himself up to his subject. There was
no " beating about the bush ;" no mistake about the sort of
game which he meant to put up. To preclude the possibility
of any such mistake, he had worded his resolution in terms
which " all who run might read." He touched slightly on
that strange story of frequent defeat and humiliation which the
printed lists of divisions (session 1841) have so emphatically
told. He contended that they proved on the part of the House,
_" a total want of confidence" in the present adviseis of her
Majesty, and he claimed with reason tho credit of bringing
that important question under the notice of the House, in the
most direct, straightforward and manly manner. He showed
(with no unnatural degree of mingled pride and self-gratula-
tion) the careful abstinence he had observed in not permitting
himself, for a moment, to thwart the progress of measures es-
sential to the best interests of the commerce and industry of
the empire at large, and especially in not opposing the grant
of " supplies," so essential to the maintenance of the grandeur,
the force, and the character of the empire.
GLOBE.—When his Grace of Wellington asked
" How is the King's Government to be carried on ?"
if the change proposed by the Reform Bill should be
effected—it probably did not occur to him that the first
direct resolution against carrying on the Government on
the only terms thenceforth practicable, would be moved
by the leader of his own party in the House of Com-
mons. When Sir R. Peel declared his acquiescence in
the Reform Bill as " a great constitutional settlement,"
he probably did not make the mental reservation of 2‘3-
cepting the settlement., without accepting its natural and
foreseen consequences. When Lord Brougham 'was
told, in 1834, that the Whig Government had lost the
confidence of the country, he asked whether the Tories
had got it ? That was the question they asked the
country about Christmas the same year. We all know
what was the answer. But Sir R. Peel was not, at that
time, quite so sensitive about carrying on the government
without the confidence of the House of Commons. Sir
R. Peel presented himself cap in hand, to be taken on
trial—" salary no object ;" what was desired being "
permanent situation," with every expression of willing-
ness to make himself "generally usefuL" Sir H. Peel
adhered to this intention with wholesome humility,
through a series of Parliamentary kicks and cuffs, which
would sicken a servant of all-work. We do not say he
was wrong. We do not think lie was. Having ventured
to assume office, we think he was bound to the Sove-
reign, at whose invitation he had undertaken it—to the
party whose interests were entrusted to him—to the
cause which he sought to strengthen—we think he was
bound to fight his battle to the uttermost—to persist in
his experiment to the last constitutional limits.. But

what was that experiment ? It was that of governing on
new terms. It was that of dispensing with the support
hitherto deemed indispensable to enable any Minister to
hold his position for an hour. It was the strongest prac-
tical acknowledgment possible of the change which the
loss of the means, which had previously been at the dis-
posal of every Minister, to secure a certain body of ad-
herents in a new Parliament, had created in the tenure
of official power. Sir Robert Peel held office five
months, not only unable to carry measures—but unable
to carry through obnoxious appointments, or prevent
hostile resolutions. Again, we do not blame him for
it. He did the best tier his party and principles. lie
acted, with considerable applause and effect, the part of
" the good man struggling with adversity, a spectacle
worthy of the Gods "—a part which he ascribes with
much less circumstantial evidence to the present Ministers.
It; however, it was lawful for Sir Robert Peel to
keep his Fround, not with majorities doubtful but
against majorities nowise doubtful, how can it be un-
lawful for the present Ministers to keep their ground
against the non-concurrence of the House in parts of
their policy ? It seems that non-concurrence is a tacit
indication of want of confidence. But Sir Robert Peel
kept office against indications neither tacit nor equivocal.
Six years ago, then, Sir Robert 'Peel acted on different
principles from those which he now propounds to be en-
forced on his successors. Six months hence, if his new
doctrine should help him back again into power,' he
might find himself compelled to fall back on his former
creed of reform-conformity.
STANDARD. The question of the Ministry is now
happily out of the less worthy hands of the press, to
occupy the attention of the Representatives of the
people. The debate upon Sir Robert Peel's reso-
lution was last night opened by the Right Honour •
able Baronet in the most triumphant speech ever deli-
vered even by him. The address was marked by all
the characteristics of Sir Robert Peel's style—the pure
but unaffected diction, the clear arrangement, the
strict logical sequence, the sincere though unostenta-
tious candour above all, the serene power, which
forces without sensible pressure the qualities, in a
word, which exalt the great Conservative leader
above, all living orators, and place him in the
same rank with the most eminent of the illustrious

dead. The effect which this extraordinary manifestation
of intellectual vigour will have upon every reader is the
more remarkable, because the speech presents nothing new
in fact or opinion, or even in its combinations. Nearly
every argument of the Right Honourable Baronet has
been forestalled, and all the facts upon which he
rested are facts long familiar to the public. Such will
be always the case when men discourse ingenuously upon
public affairs ; but this is the privilege of genius of the
first order ; it needs not to borrow aid from fanciful
perversions of language, or reasoning from startling
paradoxes
,or wild theories ;, truth is enough for it,
and, by some inconceivable process, analogous to the
great operations of Nature, it can convert the painest and
best known truths into that by which men are delighted,
amazed, and irresistibly carried away. Sir Robert
Peel's speech of last night will be long regarded as
a model in our language, and reverently consulted,
in future centuries, as the manual of a British
statesman. We give honestly and plainly, but without
fear, the impression which the speech has made upon
ourselves, and in giving that impression, we offer a satis-
factory apology, as we trust, for not attempting to analyse
tmhdeidSt shapean drd, an argument, nearly every leading reason of which has

COURIER.—Sir Robert Peel o
pelted out his no con-
fidence" motion in an oration of most remarkable t
ance, force, and dignity. It was alike free from edini I -
excitement of manner as of matter; un
yt ordinary
vitii-
pie; ration , ungarnished by declamation, it was marked
throughout -r.oughout by a quiescent, but lofty and sustained ele-
vation of style and.sentiment, relieved with a power and
felicity of argumentative contrast, and calm, but cutting
sarcasm,filt which justly entitle it to be described, as it was'
% to be, the very sublimity of
ratiocination. No-
thing equal to it has been heard since the days when
the immortal Pitt, whose mantle has so becomingly
descended upon the great statesman of our times, towered
with like grandeur of mind and still more haughtiness
of deportment over the lesser lights of his firmament.
lie passed is review the constitutional history of the
country, from its origin with the house of HanoVer,
and from numerous instances, in which the Ministries
of the day found themselves in circumstances at all analo-
gous to those of the present, deduced and established the
irresistible conclusion, that never before was an example
to be found of a Government despotically persisting to rule
in defiance of a House of Commons, by which substanti-
ally and repeatedly stigmatised as undeserving of confi-
dence ; never a Government before which had dared so
boldly and flagitiously to violate the spirit and trample on
the forms of the Constitution. For the proofs, reiterated
and reinforced with ever accumulating power, we can
only refer to the admirable argument itself, of which we
should vainly seek to convey any adequate conception of
the whole in this respect by the citation of the whole in
detached parts.

as the last, it bad rather a favourable influence on the Money
, Market, Consols for money having advanced to
90, buyers
the closing price, however, was 90, rather sellers.
The monopolists are at a heavy discount in the City, and
daily sinking lower in public estimation. The public are quite
satisfied that, whatever men may form the Ministry, they must
speedily proceed to a revision of the tariff to restore the de-
pressed condition of trade and manufactures. They perceive
perfectly that this course must,have been adopted before now
it we had not been able to open new markets in South America.
and the Australian colonies. Those sources are found to be
insufficient to postpone the recourse to this remedy any
longer, the falling off in the Continental demand,and the drain of gold for Foreign Corn—beirg much too,
heavy for the counterpoise—and no alternative re-
mains, except to take a decided step iu favour of
free trade. The objections raised by the monopolists now fall
dead from their press. The argument so often raised by them
that foreigners will not take our manufactures in exclisnee for
corn and timber, has lost. efficacy, because it is known that it
was our refusal to take their corn and timber on fair terms that
compelled them to turn their attention to, and to invest capi-
tal in, manufactures. To pere;st in their past bee sif coer-
cive policy would therefore only oompel the Germans to con-
tinue in the same line of rivalry, whereas, if we should open
our ports to the produce of their soil on the payment of mo-
derate import duties, they would apply themselves assiduously
and permanently to the cultivation of it, while our manufae;
turers would in the same wsy reap the benefit ensuieg from.
a greatly ineeeased demand for their goods. • I is the view
now taken by every impartial man here. We believe it is the view
taken by niariy peeseni of all shades of pelliisalopinlons., and
that it is useless to attempt to conduct tile Government cf the
country n any o'her principle. Every one we speak to pre-
fers a moderate fixed duty on corn to a siding ssale, because
it will steady prices, and relieve the market from the flue-
tuat ons produced by the averages which expose the home
grower and consumer to the mercy of speculators, who make
fictitious sales to raise or depress prices, as may best suit their
emu views at the time. While a sliding scale exists the
averages must exist., and while they do the eorn trade can be
nothing but gambling. A fixed duty is looked upon as the
only practical remedy fir this enormous abuse. It is considered
not only the sole effectual remedy for that abuse, but also the
only way in which the piece of corn may be kept at a price of
about 50s. to 55 s. per quarter for English wheat, quite enough to
keep land at a fair value, and to give the tenants a remu-
nerative price, while it will protect them from the ruinous
consequences that follow from a glut under the present aye-
tent. Indeed, it is thought that in the course of time the
supply and demand will so find their level, that the home
market will never suffer either from scarcity or superabun-
dance of supply, for the deficiency in one country would be
made good by the supply in another, and thus all will enjoy
the benefits of free intercourse, and a choice of markets. Three
facts arc palpable to the people, and they fully understand
them. The City monopolists are thus driven to a coiner, and
in their defeat are glad to catch at straws, indeed at any thine-
likely to assist them even for a moment. Thus we
find them raking up obi s:ories, founded upon letters
from correspondents regarding the claims ot ceetain owners of
transports during the war for restitution of light-house dues,
from which they erroneously claimed exemption. The amount
in question was retained by the Board of. Transports, and ulti-
mately, it seems, paid by the Treasury to the Trinity House,
on bond to the Crown, that it might be made. forthcoming to
the parties who should be found legally entitled to it by the
opinion of the twelve Judges. That opinion has never
been (Attained, but we have no doubt ,:they will de-
cide against the exemption ; for, although - freighted ere-
cially fot the purpose of carrying troops transports clearly do
not come under the description of ships exempted from
light house dues. The Monopolist Journals; Floe ever, repre-
sent this very sample matter as one. " deeply affecting the
character of the present Administration regarding their en-
gigements with the shipping interest of the country." More
perfect twaddle could not be penned. The law is open to the
owners of these transport ships, if they be not satisfied to abide
by the case of Clarke.
We do not know. whether our Contemporary has given the
facts correetly.or not. But we have been content to take thorn
in his own way. and having done so, this is alllse make of it.
TIMES.—The notice issued at the Bank of England this
morning calls for no remark which has not frequently been
made before. As a banking operation, it is net ot a very legi-
timate character, being adapted rather to the Stock Exchange
thin to the transactions of commerce, but the late general
pressure for money, which it is calculated, at least for a time,
to relieve, has rendered the measure a very opportune one to a
large class of persons.
The Commissioners of Sewers resolved, at the meeting they'
held last Tuesday, to enforce 'cMichael Angelo Taylor's Act,(
and to remove, if possible, the deformity which the Bank of
England has thrust in the way of the City improvements, by
allowing the Sun Fire-office to pass the proper boundary in the
erection of their new building. The solicitor is probably by
this time instructed to proceed, and tho first step is a notice to
the opposite parties that a jury will be formed to assess .the
value of the ground prior to a purchase. Haring once began
the attack on the encroachment, it is to be hoped the City
prosecute it with rigour.

CORN-LAWS.
(FRoM A CORRESPONDENT.)
Duur.iN, MAY 25, 1841.—1 t gives me great pleasure to in-
form you of the result of two County Meetings held )ester-
day on the subject of the Corn-laws. You are aware that
the Tories calculated on a reaction in their fiTeur in Ireland,
in consequence of the proposed change in the present earn
duties, and accordingly that party convened the counties of
Roscommon and Galway, by a requisition to their respective
High Sheriffs, to petition against the Ministerial plan. But
the attempt was defeated, and in both plaeek resolutions were
passed in favour of the Government policy, though not pledg-
ing themselves to the exact amount of a fixed duty. The
amendments to the monopolists' propositions were moved in
Roscommon by Oliver Grace, of Mantua, and seconded
by Daniel Ferral, of Beechwood ; and in Galway, by Sir Mi-
chael D. Bellew, and Andrew Browne, men holding property
in the agricultural districts to the amount of 40,0001. per an-
num. This fact shows that in Ireland there is no hope for
the faction.
