can be changed for the worse. The Leeds Times,

paid on wheat since the present law wa, in forec,
frays, " Surely this is not a thing to run mad
about." The fair...consideration, then, shown by
the Ministers for the protected interests, damps
the zeal of journalists and of the people, and pre-
vents the Ministers from attaining due and effi-
cient support.

We sincerely wish it were otherwise. We wish
that Ministers would adopt a lower protection
if they cannot be induced to abolish the Corn-
law. We wish that they would lower the duty
on Colonial sugar as well as on Foreign sugar,
and lower much more than they propose the dis-
criminating duty on timber. The people would
then have before them objects more worthy of

their exertion. We by no means despair
of seeing the Ministers embrace these views.
Lord BROUGHAM, three years ago, was in
favour of a fixed duty; he now only ad-
vocates it as a step towards repeal. When-
ever that point comes to be disciissed it may be
satisfactorily proved that a fixed duty, as a step
towards total repeal, would be much more inju-
rious to the landed interest than the total repeal,
which justice and expediency alike demand. States-
men are slow to adopt that enlarged and wise mea-
sure, because the people are indifferent. Ifthey had
been energetic in demanding the total repeal, the
Whigs, instead of now proposing an Bs. duty as
a fair consideration to the protected interests,
would have boldly come forward with a measure
for the total repeal of all the taxes on provisions.
Though we restate our objections to the Minis-
ters' plan, there can be no question that Lord JOHN
RUSSELL, as a candidate for the City of London,
far overtops all his Conservative rivals. They

have nothing apparently to recommend then;,
more than the cuckoo cry of, " I am strongly
attached to our Constitution, but will not op-
pose substantial improvements." But the Con-
stitution will not fill the bellies of the
hungry people, and to enable them to subsist,
they must now be relieved from the burdens
which press heavily on them without yielding
any thing to the Exchequer. With Lord -J.
RUSSELL we cannot doubt the truth of the prin-
ciples on which the Ministerial measures are
founded, and it will speedily depend on the citi-
zens to signify their hearty approval of those
principles, and at the same time to inform Lord
JOHN RUSSELL and his friends that they
must carry them further. To determine

the fate of the people for the- next few years
will speedily be the duty of the electors ; and
as they act, so will the nation be prosperous or
decaying, so will it advance in freedom, virtue,
and happiness, or sink deeper into thraldom,
crime, and misery. Even the supporters of
Lord JOHN RUSSELL must give their votes to
the cry of " Down with all monopolies."

The Liberal electors of the borough of Mary-
ebone are to decide at a public meeting, at the
Colosseum, Regent's Park, on Wednesday next,
whether they are to be represented in the bread-
tax abolition Parliament by Commodore Sir
CHARLES NAPIER. or by Mr. YOUNG—by a
stanch Radical of the right stamp, Or by one Of
those numerous friends of the people, whose Li-
beral principles are clogged with so many re-
servations as to puzzle the acutest metaphy-
sician to define correctly to what party
they really belong. To the result no man
can be indifferent. When the country is
called upon to decide whether the body, atte-
nuated by hunger and distorted by disease, shall
be restored to fulness and beauty by an ample
supply of food—whether the naked shall be
clothed in comfortable garments—whether the
idle shall be supported with remunerating la-
bour, and so preserved from the vices conse-
quent upon that physical want whith drives the
best-intentioned to desperation, it is the duty of
every elector, at whatever sacrifice of time or
fortune to himself, to come boldly forward, and
prove himself worthy of the rights and privileges
vested in his person. In Marylebone the class
of non-electors suffering the greatest privations
is too numerous to allow any of the electoral
body to remain unmindful of what is due to
them during the present crisis. The elector
who would leave to a Parliamentary repre-
sentative of doubtful sentiments upon the Corn-
laws, the settlement of a question which
is to give or withhold from them cheap bread,
would deserve one day or other to feel in him-
self, and to witness in his famishing offspring, the
horrors of starvation in a world teeming with
superabundant food. Mr. YOUNG has no chtims
upon the gratitude of the electors of Marylebone,
unless four rejections by the electors be construed
into a claim. That he does not possess the confi-
dence of many of the Liberal electors, is neither
denied by himself nor his friends; they merely
contend that the majority is not opposed to him.
This the meeting of Wednesday next will better
decide than it becomes us to do. Of the result
of that meeting we entertain not the shadow of a
oubt. The Liberal electors of Marylebone are
not so indifferent to the exercise of their politi-
cal rights as to fail in their attendance at a meet-
ing which shall determine whether Commodore
NAPIER or Mr. YOUNG be chosen to represent
them in Parliament. Now, a full attendance oi
Liberals—stanch, honest Reformers—is all that
is required to decide the question in favour of the
Gallant Connnodore. In fact, if the suffrages
of the electors at twelve several public
meetings held in different parts of the
borough be taken as a test—and there can
be no better one-,the question is already
virtually decided. At these meetings which
were attended by hundreds of electors,
the show of hands averaged more than fifty to
one in favour of Sir CHARLES NAPIER. We
have, therefore, no apprehensions as to the result
on Wednesday. But a simple majority will not
satisfy us. We want an overwhelming majority
—such a majority as shall read a lesson to the
electors throughout the kingdom. Let only
Marylebone be among the first to set a right
example, and the good work of choosing none
but Representatives enjoying the Rill confidence
of Anti-MonopOlist Constituencies will go on
most triumphantly.

We want a phalaux of right honest, practical,
out-and-out Liberals in the next Parliament. Of
the namby-pamby school the nation has had
a surfeit. We want none of those Parlia-
mentary Reformers, who talk big upon the hust-
ings about bringing forward measures of Re-
form, but who carefully contrive to strangle
them, by giving a hint to • the Opposi-
tion either to count out the House, or
to decline making one whenever an op_
portunity occurs for the redemption of
,uch pledges. Of such schools—and they
are rather numerous—Sir CHARLES NAPIER and
Sir BENJAMIN HALL are assuredly not disciples.
They will give no pledge which they will not re-
_

(leers in the sincere spirit in which it shall be
:nude by them and received by the electors.
they will not be guilty of the mean dishonesty,
but too common, of making the very work of
legislation an electoral juggle. They will resort.
to no trick to evade a pledge or to violate a prin-
itiple. In the great struggle for giving the na-
tion cheap bread, and fur opening fresh fields for
the products of our industry, they will neither be
unwitting nor inefficient combatants. They will
faithfully do their duty when the season arrives,
it the electors will now have the manliness to do

heirs, as becomes freemen and patriots.

Among all the political Renegades of the day,
we know not one so every way deserving ofdeep
and lasting contempt as Sir JAMES GRAHAM.
What others may have done from momentary
spleen or the stern pressure of events, he seems
to have done from the strong necessity of his na-
ture. le is an Apostate, not from the uncontrol-
lable three of circumstances, Taut from the utter
absence of any sense of public virtue or propriety.

ilt• has evi,ientiy no i)dif:r notion of a principle,
than that it is a something to buy and sell. Its
in,!rkct price raises or depresses its value in
. to al! appearance, the Whi.2-
p; rty was strong ;n thco favour of the people,
who so staaach a Whig as Sir JAMES GRAHAM
When the Tory faction, by dint of its consummate
electioneering tactics, seemed likely to regain
its old ascendancy, who so. quick to desert what
appeared to him the falling cause, and embrace
the rising one, as the Right Hon: Baronet ?
Fancying himself wondrously expert at inter-
preting the signs of the times, he became im-
pressed with the conviction that they indicated
the restoration of, Toryism ; and true to his own
interests as the needle to the pole, he seized the
first favourable opportunity of joining the ranks
of a faction, against whom he had so often
launched the thunders of his heavy eloquence.
Something, however, was due to appear-
ances ••• a show of consistency, though
the substance was wanting, must still for
a season be maintained; and accordingly
when Sir ROBERT PEEL came into office,
.Sir
JAMES GRAHAM met his advances with an ex-
quisitely hypocritical air of reserve, alleging as
his reason for holding aloof, that he was not yet
quite satisfied with his political declarations.
But as the Tories, even after their ejection from
Downing-street, continued slowly to gather
strength, Sir JAmts's Toryism strengthened in
the same degree; and now that they divide the
suffrages of the House of Commons, he is as
thick-and-thin a Tory as he once was a Whig.
The last tattered rag of consistency is now thrown
off, and the Apostate stands revealed in all his
naked deformity !
What, to a politician of this stamp, is the scorn
—.the loathing of every honest man ? What
cares he for the indignant sarcasms of his betrayed
friends ? Should the Tories once again come
into power—and his last speech in Parliament
shows how fondly he speculates on this event—
he knows well, or believes he does, that he will
have the means of feathering his own nest; and
seems equally assured that with them, he will
have a far longer lease of power, than ever he
could have had with the Whigs. This it is that
compensates him for the contempt of all the just
and conscientious. This is the true secret of his
apostasy. He fancied himself insecure with the
one party—he fancies that he will be perfectly
safe with the other. For continuous power with
continuous salary to correspond, he has unhesi-
tatingly sacrificed every public principle that a
good man holds sacred. The Corn-laws, free
trade, reforms in Church and in legislation—all
have one by one been thrown overboard; and
Sir JAMES GRAHAM can now most sincerely
thank God that he has no longer a conscience to
embarrass his movements, or intercept the sun-
shine of place!
Such is the man, who, kicked out with con-

tempt from his native county of Cumber-
laud, and aware that he can never again
show his face at Pembroke, has now the
assurance to aspire to the representation
of Westminster ; and who—in the probable
event of his getting an awkward hint in this
quarter—has the still more insufferable audacity
to dream of making a second experiment on the

ignorance or credulity of the North ! Electors,
whether of Westminster or Cumberland, the
very idea of such a man presuming to represent
you, is an insult to your intelligence and your
sense of honour, which you are bound to resent
in the strongest possible terms. Elect him, and
you instantly become sharers in his disgrace.
By countenancing the traitor, you show that you
approve of the treason. Reject him, then,
promptly, and for ever. Have nothing to do, not
even for an hour, with an Apostate of his deep
dye. As you prefer cheap Government to
dear; plenty to want; tranquillity to discontent;

peace to war ; well-regulated liberty to
systematic oppression ; free trade to trade en-
cumbered with shackles ; Reform to no-Reform;
mitigated taxation to taxation without end or
limit;—in a word, as you respect your duties as
men, as citizens, as patriots, declare "war to the
death" against the pretensions of this surpassing
Renegade. But should he, despite your invete-
rate hostility, be so ill-advised as to stand pub-
licly before you on the hustings, then press him
close on the ticklish subject of his apostasy.
Probe him to the quick. Give him no quarter.
Ask him what has become of all his old prn-
ciples; why he has falsified all his pledges on
the Corn-laws; why—having once been a
Whig and " something more" you now
find him voting with the Tories ;
ask him these, and other such embarrassing ques-
tions as may suggest themselves, and we will
venture to say, he will very quickly show you as
clean a pair of heels, as ever poor devil of a debtor
showed when hotly chased by an inexorable
bailiff: Sir JAMES GRAHAM for Westminster!

Sir JAMES GRAHAM for Cumberland ! Why, the
most infatuated Chartist that ever stuck like a
leech to the five points of the Charter; the most
enthusiastic Socialist that ever advocat, d, iu the
earnestness of his conviction, the doctril.e of the
general community of goods, would be a rcpr•e'
sentative a thousand times more eligible, be_

cause more respectable, than this matchless
Renegade!

We publish some further correspondence be-
tween the Manchester Chamber of Commerce
and Sir ROBERT PEEL, and the Right Hon. Ba-
ronet by no means gets out of the scrape in
which his baste to enjoy a triumph, at the ex-
pense of truth and justice, plunged him. All the
writing in the Ivorid would not wipe out the fact
that he made a statement in the House of Com-
mons with a view of making that House believe
that the deputation of the Chamber of Com-
merce had solicited him to read Mr. GREG'S
book, and declared that they would abide by his
decision after reading it, when he knew at
the time that the deputation had not called his
attention to that book, and had never, in the
most remote manner, intimated an intention of
being bound by its contents. No writing can
wipe out the fact that he represented Mr. GREG,
the author of the book, as the champion of the
Chamber, when the Chamber had never elected
him to the office. Sir ROBERT PEEL stands con-
victed belbre the country of having sought and
obLiined the ready cheers of his roarers by a
dishonest artifice. Nor is it the first time in the
annals of Parliament that the Right Hon. Ba-
ronet has been convicted of a similar offence.
In the present case, it has been clearly brought
home to him, and he evinces in his letter how
very sore he is—not at having committed the
offence—but at having been detected and exposed.

We are glad to see that Captain PECHELL has
begun an opposition to the Highways Bill. As
he is a Sussex Member, and the Bill is forwarded
by Sussex Members, it looks as if the Gallant
Officer knew that it was intended to promote
some nefarious local job, and therefore he opposes
it. But if it be to serve a local purpose, could not
gir C. BURRELL and Mr. DARBY bring forward
a Bill to enable them to keep up the particular
turnpike trust they favour at the expense of the
rate-payers of their own neighbourhood, without
introducing a general Bill, placing such great
power in the hands of the Justices all over Eng-
land ? It is bad enough that Members of Par-
liament should use their 'legislative functions to
subserve,their private purposes, but it is qui e
abominable that one or two Members, in order
to cover a job of their own, should inflict a tyran-
nical Act of Parliament on the whole cotnmu-
nity. It will be seen by our report of the pro-
ceedings in the House of Commons on Saturday,
that Captain PECHELL resisted the Bill, because
it confers great power on the Magistrates, and
that the debate on the bringing up
the Report on
the Bill was adjourned till this day.

The metropolitan borou.,;hs, we are glad to see,
are putting forth tio-ir ,irength on the great ques-
tions which are now agitating the country. Lord
Jmiri. RUSSELL has nobly come forward to con-

he City of Londo,l against the monopolists ;
Mr. Alderman WOOD, the long tried friend of
the City, has also announced his intention of
fighting the battle of free trade; and Mr.
PATTISON and Mr. CUA W FORD have de tor-
inioed to support them. The borough of Lam-
beth, we believe, • is secure. We have heard
that Mr. BALDWIN intends to lose money
in that quarter, and we wish him success. Mr.
TOOKE is anxious to represent the bigots of
Finsbury, and to turn out Mr. DUNCOMBE, the
enemy _of all bigotry, and, next to Mr HUME,
the most useful Member of the House of Com-
mons. The electors of Finsbury are not to be
deceived by the professions of a man who hay
been rejected by his own party. Sir BENJAMIN
HALL and the Gallant NAPIER will be returned for
Rlarylebone ; and the Tower Hamlets will suffer no
monopolist to represent them in Parliament. For
the county the venerable, the consistent, and the
staunch friend of Reform, on every occasion,
Mr. BYNG, again comes forward, and is certain
of success. Perhaps no man in the House of
Commons is so universally respected and be-
loved—he is the fitther of the House, and
we only regret that he has not more
obedient and dutiful children. lie is de-
termined, however, to the last, to set
them a good example, and, as he has often said,
to " die in harness" in the cause of liberty. All
these circumstances lead to the belief that the
county of Middlesex, which has such an influence
on the country at large, will lead the way in this
great question of commercial reform, and be
followed by every liberal community throughout
the kingdom.

ISir ROBERT PEEL and tile 311 monopolists who
conspired to stop the discussion on the Corn-laws
reckoned without their host. The great question
comes on to-morrow evening, when, we trust,
every Liberal Member will be early in his place.
The Tories fear the discussion, and will try every
means to defeat it, either by not making a House
or counting it out on the first opportunity. They
are ever at their post. Will the friends of the
people be outdone by them, when the following•
important resolution shall be made by Mr
SCHOLEFIELD :—" That the extreme suffering of
the industrious classes, from low wages and want
of employment, renders it the imperative duty
of Parliament not to separate till it shall
have devised some means for the allevia-
tion of the great misery which now per-
vades all the manufacturing districts of
the country ?" This resolution, coupled with
the motion of Mr. HINDLEY on the present
system of taxation and the Corn-laws, will allow
Members full scope for discussing the question
of " monopoly" or "no monopoly." The eyes
of the country are now on the Representatives of
the people—a day of reckoning is at hand—and
let the watchword of electors be, " He that is
not with us is against us." The accounts of the
distress in the manufacturing districts are quite
appalling; the people have hitherto submitted
patiently to the greatest deprivations, but pa-
tience has its limits ; and if by any side wind from
the Tories, or the lukewarmness of the Liberals,
their prayers be rejected, no man can answer for
the consequences.

The whole of the Paris Journals of Friday and Sa-
turday have been received. In the Moniteur of Friday,
we find the following telegraphic despatch from French
Africa :

" MOSTAGANEM, JUNE 4, TOULON, JUNE 10.
" THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF THE FRENCH POSSESSIONS
IN THE NORTH OF AFRICA TO THE MINISTER OF WAR.
" After eight days' painful march, and several slight com-
bats on our flanks and rear guard, all in favour of our arms,
on the 25th, after a conflict honourable to the Zouaves, the
column occupied Tekedempta, which it found destitute of in.
habitants, and of every article of value. We blew up the
fort, and demolished and burnt the town, which was begin-
ning to become of importance. From Tekedempta to Mascara,
where we arrived on the 30th, we were constantly surrounded
by the Emir's army, which, however, kept at a distance, and
avoided fighting. We put it to flight at Fortassa, and before
Mascara. On June Ist we quitted Mascara, leaving three
battalions with provisions for fifty days. In the defile
of Akbel Kredda, our rear guard was warmly attacked by from
5,600 to 6,000 Arabs, the three battalions of which it was
composed under the command of General Levasseur, and to
which, considering the nature of the ground, it was impossible
to give close aid, behaved with great firmness. The rear-
guard caused the enemy a loss of between 300 and 400 men,
having themselves only 10 killed and 54 wounded. After this
ortunate campaign the enemy re-entered Mostaganem on the
3d, having only 22 killed and 82 wounded, bringing back 116
sick. I have great praise to bestow on the steadiness and firm-
ness of the army. The cavalry carried havresacks for fourteen
days' march, and only laid them down when it had to fight.
The Duke de Nemours is in good health. We are arranging
our convoy, and we hope to march on the 7th or Bth, to act in
front of Mascara, and perhaps take Saida, which is a fort rather
more strongly constructed than that of Tekedempta."
A second telegraphic despatch, interrupted by night-
fall, appears in the Moniteur of Saturday. It is one
day later from Toulon, and runs as follows :
" TOULON, JUNE 11.
" THE MARITIME PREFECT TO THE MINISTER OF THE
MARINE.

" The column of General Baraguay d'Hilliers returned into
Blidah on the '2d, after having visited Metleah and Milianah,
destroyed Bog.har, and ravaged the country it passed over. At
no point was it interrupted by the enemy. Several hundreds
of Arabs contented themselves with following its movements at
a distance, and there were only a few shots interchanged in
one insignificant rencontre. Two estabishments of import-
ance were destroyed at Boghar, where there was a foundry for
gun-barrels, the loss of which will be sensibly felt by the Emir.
The column will enter upon another campaign on the 10th.
The Duke de Nemours arrived at Algiers from Mostaganem
on the 6th.—( Interrupted by the night. )"
The most remarkable part of this despatch is the an-
nouncement of the return of the Duke de NE3IOURS to
Algiers on his way to France. The Quotidienne is the
only Journal that attempts an explanation of a circum-
stance so very extraordinary. As this explanation is
quite a curiosity in its way, we shall make no apology
for introducing here an extract from it :
It appears that General Bugeaud, after the combat which
took place under the walls of Milianah, assembled the general
officers who had taken part in the affair, to give them, as
usual. a les-on on military tactics. The princinal point in his
remarks was the malapropos charge executed by a part of the
division of the Duke de Nemours, a charge which had, he said,
prevented the total destruction of the Arabs.
Gin. Changainier took upon himself to defend his absent
Lieutenant-General, and maintained that the movement which
was blamed saved the French army. The discussion between
the two Generals became very warm, and Gen. Bugeaud de •
seended to personalities as impudent as trivial, and forgot
himself so far as to compare the brave officers of our African
army to the " mule of Marshal Saxe, which had made war for
twenty years and still remained a mule."
He afterwards turned the conversation on politics, and failed
not to enlarge on his long and devoted services to the reigning
family, and threw out some offensive allusions to the s.rvices
of those of later date. This conversation was naturally re-
ported to the Duke of Nemours, who waited for an opportunity
to show his feeling.
On returning from Mascara the Duke sent one of his aides-
de-camp to demand orders from the General-in-Chief. The
officer returned without, an answer. The Prince, piqued, went
himself to the tent of the General, who received him with a
familiar tone, saying, " Sit down, mon cher, I am at your ser-
vice in a moment." The Duke retired and announced
his intention of returning to France immediately.
He was to embark on the 6:h.
kA third telegraphic despatch from Perpignan, dated the
11th instant, announces that on the 7th a disturbance,
which threatened to be very serious, took place at Bar-
celona. It appears that 400 weavers of that town endea-
vottrA to obtain possession of some confiscated goods
advertised for auction, and the authorities being unable
to restrain them, purchased the goods, and gave them to
the workmen to be burnt in front of the town-hall, which
the mob caused to be illuminated.

Joseph Bonaparte arrived at Genoa on the 6th by the Hi-
beinia, with his suite, composed of fifteen persons.
Advices from Cologne, of the 4th, announce that 1,000 of the
most respectable citizens of that town had addressed a petition
to the Rhenish Diet, calling on that body to remind the King
of the promise made by his father in I tll5 to give a national
representation to the States. The Diet adopted on the 4th a
proposition having for its object to invite his Majesty either to
liberate the Archbishop of Cologne, or send him fur trial be-
fore a Court of Justice.

Three English fish,ng boats were captured on the 11th off'
Granville, within the French limits, and their cargoes con-
fiscated by the authorities.

The Courier de I' Isere (Grenoble) of the Bth of June, con-
tains the following article :
" Just as we are going to press we receive notice of a requi-
sition addressed by M. Simon Didier to the President of the
Civil Tribunal of Grenoble, desiring that we may be summoned
without delay to hear ourselves condemned even by imprison-
ment, to pay damages to the amount of 100,000 francs to M.
Didier, for an article of the 20th and 22d of April, relative to
the couspiracy at Grenoble.
" To this requisition is annexed a summons to appear before
the Civil Tribunal on Saturday, the 12th of June."
In consequence of his nomination as Delegate of Guadeloupe.
M. Granier de Cassagnac obtained from M. Jubolon, Go-
vernor of the colony, the corvette Perle, Captain Segreties, on
board of which he is visiting the Spanish and English islands,
and ir tends to proceed to the United States. He i, accompa-
nied by his friend M. Capo de Feuilledo. They both repres,•nt
them.elves as intrusted with an official mission by the Govern-
ment.

On the 17th of April, 1841, they landed at Port-au-Prince,
where they asked for the good offices of M. Levasseur, the
Consul-General. They hoped to be invited to the tables of
principal persons of the country. M. Granier de Cassagnac
probably supposed that the blacks had not read his writings,
but on his arrival the journals of Port-au-Prince printed some
extracts from the articles which he published in the Revue de
Paris, in 1835 and 1836, and to which his signature was
affixed. The effect produced by the printing of these passages
may be conceived. A journal, of the 18th of April, says that.
a charivari had been given to M. de Cassagnac. On this oc-
casion six Haitians were put in prison, by order of General
Boyer ;but the journal says that in such a case imprisonment.
is no disgrace. We have before us the Haitian journals.
which give an account of these that facts.
It seems that on the following day Al. G. de Cassagnac.
seeing the reception that awaited him, returned with his friend
on board the corvette, that there a challenge. was sent him,
which he refused, disavowing his written opinions, attributing

them to hi., y,,lith, ai,ti protesting his sympathy with the Hai•
dans, whose manners he was desirous of studying—La Ga.
zette de France.

PARIS, JUNE 12.—The Gazette du Midi of the Bth June
says—Yesterday evening the travelling carriage of the Duke
of Nemours, and two of his baggage waggons, arrived at
Marseilles from Algiers. The Prince himself is expected by
the 15th. —Le Commerce.

Madrid journals of the 4th, sth, and 6th inst. have
reached us. On the 4th the Five per Cents. were at
26 for cash. The number of bargains was 37. On
the following day no cash transaction took place. T.
Fives closed, however, at 27i at 60 days. We subjoin
the only general news of any interest in these papers :
A letter from Carthagena of the 29th ult. announced that
the Spanish guardacosta Longaniza captured on the preceding
day, off Cape Palos, a smuggling vessel under British colours,
which had already landed on the coast one half of her cargo,
valued at 25,000 or 30,000 piastres.
The tower of the clock of the cathedral of Valladolid gave
way on the 31st ult., after a frightful storm which broke over
the town, and lasted nearly two hours. Fortunately no lives
were lest.

General Don Demetrio O'Daly, Governor of Carthagena,
had arrived at Valencia, where he was to await the result of
the affair relative to the rescue of a smuggler by two English
vessels of war.

General Alcala had been appointed Captain-General of the
Basque provinces.

MADili), JUNE 6.—The Deputy Munoz Bueno announced
to the Ministry, that if, previously to the 12th, they did not
give some information respecting the Carthagina affair, as to
the satidaction obtained from the British Government, he
should call again upon them for an explanation. The Com-
mission appointed to report upon the question of the guardian-
ship of the young Queen has requested a final interview pre-
vious to laying their report before the Cortes. The proposition
made by DegoHada for the demolition of the fortifications
of Barcelona has been adopted by 98 against 28. To erect
these fortifications, under Philip V., it was necessary to remove
3,697 edifices, and to sacrifice thirty-three fine streets.

Letters aid Papers from Lisbon of the 7th inst. state
that the Duke of PALMELLA did not succeed in forming
a Ministry. Portugal, therefore, continues to be go-
verned by an ad interim Cabinet.

The following late intelligence from Candia is from
the Algemeine Zeitung of the 9th instant received this
morning
TRIESTE, JUNE 2.—We have the following letter from
Canea of May 18 :
" The state of things in our island is not changed, the number
of the insurgents increases daily, and they seem resolved to
let things come to extremities. The communications be-
tween the sea ports and the interior are quite inter-
rupted, and we are looking forward with anxiety for
the steps which will be taken by Tahir Pacha, who
has been for these three days at anchor with his squadron
in our harbour ; for it may be foreseen that he will
not be so much disposed to yield as the good-tempered Alll3-
tapha Pacha, and if rigorous measures are adopted the worst
consequences may be feared. Everybody who is able to do so
endeavours to leave our island : many of the principal families
are already gone to Syra and other parts of Greece. Since
the 15th the island has been strictly blockaded, except the
parts of Canea, Candia, Sinda, and Rettimo.

Her Majesty and Prince Albert left Buckingham Pa-
lace shortly before 10 o'clock this morning, on a visit
to his Grace the Archbishop of York, at his seat, Nune-
ham, Oxfordshire. Her Majesty and his Royal High-
ness are expected to return to town on Wednesday next.
THE CITY ELECTION.—Mr. Horsley Palmer, the Chai-
rman of the meeting to promote the election of Conserva-
tives for the City of London, is the same person who
moved resolutions in the Guildhall about nine months
ago in favour of a fixed duty on corn. He is, therefore,
at one and the same time favourable to the Conservatives,
who are for a sliding scale, and favourable to the fixed
duty. What influence ought such a weather-cock to
have on public opinion ? Or is it that the Conservatives
in London' re obliged to show free trade colours, in order
to seduce the electors to follow them ? If such be the
case, our cause must be nearer success than we dared to
anticipate, for our opponents are obliged to come with us.
EXPENDITURE OF THE TORIES AND WHIGS.—The
Tory Journals have of late been boasting very much of
the reductions made by the Tories previous to the Whigs
getting into office. That, however, is an old story;
but, singularly enough, that very circumstance which is
now used to detract irom the merit of the Whigs, was
formerly stated to their honour. It was not only that
they made great retrenchments, and abolished many
taxes, but they did both to a great extent, after the eco-
nomical Government of the Duke of Wellington had, it
was said, left nothing for them to retrieve, and no taxes
to abolish. It was precisely because the Whigs came
after the Tories, who had made some retrenchments, and
were able to make more, that they are so meritorious.
The more, therefore, that the Times and its compeers
now enlarge on the reduction made by the Tories, and
greater is the merit of the Whigs who came after and
went much beyond them.

EXCHEQUER COURT (THIS DAY)

FAIVRE V. COLLINET.

Mr. HUMFREY having opened the pleadings,
Mr. PLATT said the defendant in this case being in Paris,
solicited the plaintiff, who was much engaged as a musician in
that city, to come over and play in the orchestra at Concerts
to be given by Mr. Eliason at Drury-lane. Plaintiff consented,
and they entered into a contract that plaintiff should come
over and commence his engagement from the sth of October,
1840, to August, 1841, at 600 francs, to be paid weekly, each
to perform their part of the contract under a penalty of I,ooof.
The plai„tiff, however, before coming to a foreign country, re-
quired to have some security for the due payment of his salary,
when the defendant gave him a guarantee, upon which
the action was brought. He came and performed in
the Concerts, but Mr. Eliason was not so successful
as he anticipated, and the plaintiff was soon put on half allow-
ance, and then upon no allowance at all, and eventually Drury
Lane was shut up. At that period there was 101. 12s. due to
this poor man, and for that sum he was obliged to sue upon the
guarantee. He would prove his case as shortly as he had stated
it, and he had no doubt, under the direction of his Lordship,
they would have the pleasure of giving a verdict for the plain-
tiff. He then called

Mr. Jacobs, who proved the handwriting of the defendant in
the agreement entered into between the parties. Witness knew
that the plaintiff played the trombone at the concerts given by
Eliason.

By the Jvnos—Witness signed the agreement, but he did
not consider hinbell as a guarantee for %Ir. Eliason. He was
one of the parties.

Air. V. LEE had no question to ask. He submitted that
upon the face of the contract the defendant was acting, when
engaging the plaintiff, as the agent of Eliason, and if so, then
no consideration had been given for the guarantee.
His LORDSHIP overruled the objection. The agreement
was made as agent for Eliason and others, and the consideration
was that the plaintiff should come to this country and perform
at the Concerts.

Mr. LEE would then take his Lordship's opinion whether
the plaintiff ought not to have set out the agreement first in
French (the original being written in that language), and then
again in English ?

-HIS LORDSHIP said No; they ought not to do anything of the
kind. He doubted upon the point in a late case—he reserved
the point, and the Court decided it according to his opinion.
Ile Learned Counsel would not wish him to reserve the point
again. His Lordship then directed the Jury to find for the
plaint iff, damages 10/. 12s. _

Upon the application of Mr. Platt, his LORDSHIP certified
that it was a fit case to be tried before the superior Court, but
reused to give speedy execution, the defendant being merely
guarantee for another. Had the action been against Mr. Elia-
son he would have had no hesitation.
