We must return once more • to. Walsall.
There are, we believe, in the borough many
little tradesmen, nailers and locksmiths, who
are necessarily, in some measure, dependent
for accommodation on bankers and iron-
masters, and who are likely to suffer if they
honestly vote for Mr. SMITH. To force
men, who are made dependent by the Corn-
laws, to vote against their convictions by any kind
of pecuniary coercion, is a scandalous tyranny,
and the members of the League can employ
themselves no more usefully than in ascertaining
the names of those persons who use this kind of
compulsion, and of those who are exposed to it.
The former, if indeed,any men can now dare to
affront the honest enthusiasm of the people by
such conduct, and risk the personal consequences,
should be held up to general opprobrium. The
latter may be assured that the public will throw
its shield over them. Their associates in this
good cause will come to their relief from every
part of the empire, and save them harmless from
the consequences of doing their duty.
It was suggested sometime ago that a subcrip-
tion should be entered into, to ensure the electors
of Walsall against personal loss for the votes
they may give. Such a subscription will, we
trust, be set on foot, so that the electors may rely
on being protected against the injustice of any
overbearing monied or landed tyrant who may
pretend t 4 command their votes. Let them, then,
fearlessly -do their duty, and rely on receiving
not only protection, but applause from their
countrymen.

The Tories show the respect in which they hold
the electors by. the candidate they offer to their
choice. Mr. GLADSTONE, a young naval officer,
has never acquired any distinction either in his
profession or out of it. He is conspicuous only as
the representative of his father's purse, heavy with
the sweat, and tears, and blood of toiling slaves.
He is the type of a double monopoly, that of corn
and that of sugar, and his supporters vote to enrich
West India planters, and English landowners,
by levying a tax on the sugar and the bread of
the people. To constrain men against their con-
sciences to vote in favour of such a double iniquity
is a species of tyranny scarcely to be surpassed.
To resist it is the bounden duty of every man.
Throughout the empire, accordingly, there are
many throbbing hearts anxious to be placed in
the post of honour like the men of Walsall ; but
they alone can fill that, carrying with them,
however, to the contest the sympathy and the
prayers of millions of their fellow-creatures.
GOD grant success to the righteous cause !

We have received the whole of the Paris Jour-
nals of Thursday. It appears from them that the
French Government expected that a paragraph
in the QUEEN'S Speech would refer to our rela-
tions with France, and its omission has inflicted
a wound upon the sensibility ofour Gallic neigh-
heailne healed by the pe-
liament.

The Court organ, the Debats, has the following
significant remark upon this omission :
" In the paragraph of the Speech of the Queen, which re-
fers to the relations of Great Britain with foreign Powers, no
mention is made of the name of France. That is %circum-
stance the force of which we have no intention to disguise.
We accept this silence without exaggerating or lessening its
signification. These sorts of national courtesy should be alto-
gether free. We have no right to complain of their omission.
fhe debates already opened in Parliament, without any doubt,
will throw a light on the consequences of the events which have
occupied Europe. We wait for them before we judge definitely
of the dispositions which the discourse of the Crown abstains
from speaking cf."
The Chamber of Deputies was still occupied
on Thursday with the Fortifications Bill. Gene-
ral SCHNEIDER had proposed a whole strin of
amendments, which were supported by MM.
LAMARTINE and MAGUIN, and opposed by MM.
DE BESSIERES and DE REMUSAT, who spoke en-
thusiastically in favour of the original Bill. M.
°DILLON BARROT was ascending the tribune
when the mails left Paris. The speeches have
no interest whatever for English readers.
The following extracts include all the news of
any interest in these papers:—
On Wednesday evening the first grand ball for the season
was given at the Palace of the Tuileries. The invitations
amounted to 4,001, and carriages continued setting down till a
very late hour. All the Ministers, znanyef the members of the
corps diplomatique, numerous foreigners of distinction, includ-
ing many English, and most of the Members of the two Cham-
bers, were among the guests. The supper was given as usual
in the theatre of chateau, and the effect produced by this
hall, when the ladies were all seated, was very dazzling. Danc-
ing was kept up to an early hour.
A letter from Pau says The return of the Carlist
refugees to Spain by way of Oleron, continues to take place
with all desirable regularity. Three or four hundred refugees
are forwarded every day. In Spain, too, the regulation
for their route appears to be very satisfactory. The neces-
sary provision and pay are allowed with equal humanity and
judgment. The Government of Jaea has given notice that
all the refugees sent to that place have arrived without one
being missing.
" On the 20th of January, 2,794 refugees had recrossed
the frontier by the road of Urdoz."—Moniteur.
The Messager of yesterday having said that the first three
letters published by the Gazette are fa/sifted, appropriating
to itself the article of the Morning Post, which it quoted
some days ago, we cannot suffer a violation of the truth hr
that Journal, and a calumny so odious as that which tends
to excite a belie( that we have published falsified letters, and
that we knew that they were falsified. Censequen`ly using
the right which the law gives us, we are resolved to-day to
bring an action for calumny against the Messager.
We have repeatedly declared that the letters published by us
were authorised. We have required that they may be sub.
mated to a legal examination. The Messager is really not ex-
cusable in repeating that they were falsified. There are two
contrary assertions before us, and we desire public opinion to
decide between its assertion and curs with full knowledge of
the fact. It must be known whether it er we aro calumniators.

The ordinary estafette from Calais has not yet arrived, but
the Speech of the Queen of England, which wo subjoin, has
been brought by an express.
Admiral blackau arrived at Paris on Wednesday morning,
and immediately waited on the President of Councl and the
Minister of Marine and Foreign-office.
The Toulon Sentinelle de la Marine of the 24th instant has
the annexed article:—

" The British packet Hydra has arrived at Marseilles from
Marmorice direct, and it is supposed that it brings despatches
of the utmost importance for its Government. But this packet
had but one despatch for Lord Palmerston, which was sent off
by enafette ; and as the vessel is in quarantine, there was no
means of obtaining any information from the officers, who have
received orders, no doubt, to ,ay nothing. Therefore the,
greatest uncertainty prevails with respect to the affairs of the
Levant, the usnal post not having yet arrived; besides, it will
only bring news to the 7th. There is a vast field for conjec-
tures. Admiral Walker, left Constantinople on the 29th Dec
in the Stromboli • he was the bearer of Mehemet Ali's pardon,
and the hope of being recognised hereditary Pacha of Egypt,
under the quadruple condition of restoring the fleet, evacuating
Syria, reducing his laid and naval forces, and of proclaiming
the fundamental laws of Turkey in his pachalic. Admiral.
Walker must have arrived at Marmoriae on the 31st of Decem-
ber, and at Alexandria on the Ist or 2d of January. What
has passed from that period to the 13th, the day of the depar-
ture of the Hydra, is not known."
The Augsburgh Gazette of the 23d has the annexed letter
from Beyrout of the 21st December:—
" In a very short time four Governors of Antioch have been
changed. One expelled the other, and this catastrophe has
created reports tending to compromise the authorities. At La-
takia the Christians are treated in the most revolting manner.
The priests have been beaten and insulted most grossly. There
was a meeting in broad day, before the British agent's hotel,
and there a native of the Levant, named Elias, uttered excla-
mations which resounded, aWe will give up our Ananeas,' said

peace with France, have given very general
satisfaction. They have been everywhere read
and admired, particularly the noble assertion
which the speech of Lord BROUGHAM excited the
Duke of WELLINGTON to make. To us they were
doubly welcome, because they not only assured
us that peace would, if possible, be preserved; but
they gave a complete contradiction to the many
sentiments of indignation . and wrath against
France to which the Tory journals have lately
given utterance, and which they have endea-
voured to make common throughout the land.
It is now plain that those journals were speak-
ing without communication with their leaders,
and no more expressed their opinions, and were
no more in their confidence, than is the Standard
respected by the Duke of WELLINGTON. They
may he displeased with this public rebuke, but
the nation at large is comforted and assured by
learning that the Tories, not less than the Whigs,
desire to preserve the peace of Europe, and to
continue the most friendly relations with France.
The Tory leaders have not only done honour
to themselves by their declarations, but they
must have strengthened the Ministers in their
determination and desire to cherish, if possible,
the good understanding between the two coun-
tries. That Sir ROBERT PEEL might take a '
somewhat different view from the lqinisters, as
to the courtesy due to M. GUI,ZOT and the
French Monarch, seems to us no matter of re-
proach; nor do we see anything in the language
in which he expressed his difference of opinion
deserving of censure. It is at the same time
true that the incorrectness of his view was ably
exposed by Lord PALMERSTON, who demon-
strated that to have communicated the Treaty,
with a view to obtain the concurrence of France,
would have been an insult, by implying a doubt
of her sincerity and truth.
Resting satisfied with the success of Lord PAL-
MERSTON, and seeing much to admire in the decla-
ration of Sir R. PEEL, we not only have not joined
our Liberal Contempories in carping at what Sir
R. PEEL said, but we have thought, and continue
to think, that their attacks are unjust. It is
also doing an injustice to our own cause—the
cause of peace, and the cause of the Ministers,
when Sir R. PEEL and the Duke of WELLING-
TON spoke so strongly in their favour—to dwell
with pertinacity on the very small difference of
opinion which Sir IL PEEL Manifested. We will
freely confesS that we were too much pleased
with the honom4able, humane, and statesmanlike
declarations of both, to look for little hooks of
discrepancy on which to hang carping objec-
tions and quibbling censure.

this infuriated individual, ' to Arab soldiers, rather than sub
mit to the dominion of Christians,' and the people applauded.
The most bloodthirsty songs were repeated with frenzy, the
dogs of Christians were to be subjected to the vengeance of the
people; Ibrahim is no longer here. Those cursed dogs of infi-
dels shall be trampled under foot by us. At Aleppo, Tripoli,
and everywhere the Mussulmen are very numerous, the same
excesses are renewed. At Damascus only tranquillity prevails,
that city still acknowledging Ibrahim's authority. It is to be
hoped t hat Mehemet Ali's enemies, who have so much ex-
claimed against him, will repair to Syria in order to form an
idea of the prosperity which a change of Government has
effected in this country. Assuredly Mehemet Ali's despotism
is better than anarchy !"

Madrid Journals of the :21st inst. have reached
us, but they do not contain a syllable of political
news of the slightest importance. The following
extract from a private letter is of some com-
mercial interest :

There is some rumour in the financial world of a combina-
tion which Safont, the capitalist, is said to have proposed to
the Government, by which he purposes to place at its disposal
100 millions of reels in money at different periods, and 500
millions in paper ; the latter to be negotiated at 25 per cent.
The capitalist requires as a guarantee the revenue arising from
the saltwerks. No reliance can be placed on these rumours,
which einariate from parties interested in stock-jobbing opera-
tions. The elections are said to be entirely at the mercy of
the Exaltalns. The Moderados resolved to keep away, and
they have fulfilled their promise.
According to a statement published by the Madrid Gazette,
933 of the national domains have been sold during the mi.nth
of November; they were valued at 10,251,188 reals, and sold
for 27,179,166 reels. By adding these figures to those of the
domains sold in the preceding month, there have been 35,159
domains sold, which were valued at 62.3,082,691 reels, and re-
alised a nett sum of 1,375,347,543 reals.
The Fives were at 30 for cash on the 21st.
