French people, rather than pay more taxes, the Courrier
Francais bellows against a reduction of the army, and
the National execrates any attempt to reduce a naval
force one half greater than is required fur the interests
of France.

A meeting of the masons who were employed in build-
ing the New Houses of Parliament, and who struck last
Saturday in consequence of the conduct of their fore-
man, Mr. Allen, was held yesterday, and from the re-
presentations made through Lord Ashley to the Com-
missioners of Woods and Forests, it appears that the
grievance they complain of is to be removed, and they
will re-commence on Monday morning. They are highly
praised fur their peaceable and forbearing conduct.

Mr. D. Barclay, in the house of Commons last night,
gave notice of a motion fur au address to put down priva-

On Sir Robert Pea moving the House into a Commit-
tee of Supply, Lord John Russell objected at consider-
able length to the policy of the new Ministers, particu-
larly in not making known their plans as to the Corn-
laws.

Sir Robert Peel defended his own conduct by finding
fault with the conduct of his predecessors, and seemed
to think that he was exonerated' fur not proposing an
alteration in the Corn-laws, because the late Ministers
had not done it for five years.
Lord Palmerston happily exposed several of Sir Ro-
bert's mistakes. The debate which ensued was animated
by the bold and emphatic language of the free traders
and the nettled retorts of LordSandon and an unknown
county representative. It was shared by several
Members and lasted the whole evening. Lord John
Russell made no motion, he only made a speech. Mr.
Fielden moved a resolution, setting forth the distress of
the manufacturers, and declaring that Parliament ought
not to be prorogued without inquiring into it. His
motion was negatived by 149 to 41. The House went
into a Committee of Supply, after Mr. Greene had been
appointed chairman of Committees, and agreed to several
votes. It was then alit:gulled.

PII3X.IC OPINION.
The Post, ashamed of its atrocious suggestion yes er-
day to laugh down Lord John Russell, thus changes its
tone after the debate of last night:—" If we thought
that the distress which exists in some parts of the manu-
facturing districts, were likely to receive any effectual
mitigation from Parliamentary debates, we should be
sorry to say one word against prolonging the present
session in order that discussion might go on. But we
cannot perceive any ground for such un opinion. We
have looked into the very wordy statements of those
who advocate Parliamentary discussion, but we can find
nothing in them which has the slightest claim to the cha-
racter of sound argument. As soon as there is anything
of importance to say, let it be said; but he must be a
singular glutton of discussion who does not believe that
enough of mere argumentation pro and con upon the ge-
neral question of the policy of the Corn-laws has been
presented to the public.

CITY OF LONDON.
A point having been argued yesterday as to the
elegibility of pensioners on the Haberdashers' Company
to vote,
The Revising Barrister on taking his seat this morn+
ing, said he considered that the law as laid down ill
Roger's Book of Elections, p. 107, established that right.
It was then said that—" What amounts to the recipience
of such alms, in the strict interpretation of the law of
Parliament, becomes a question not easy to decide.
In many old boroughs, the usage, place, and direc-
tion of Committees, have decided this point. In
those old boroughs, where the usage is not clear, and
in all new boroughs, it seems to be a general principle
that, with respect to all charitable foundations and en-
dowments, those persons only are disqualified who are
recipients from parish resources, available for the relief
of paupers, and which are at the disposal of the over-
seers or other officers, whose duty it is to provide for
paupers. In support of this opinion the Learned Re-
vising Barrister cited the Bedford case, the case of
Harpur's charity, 3d Douglas, page 123, and page 235,
Eiliot's Treatise, where, under the head of " Per-
sonal disqualification of voters," it said, concerning
Harpur's charity—" the point under consideration arose
from the fact of certain estates having been granted to
the Corporation of Bedford by Sir William Harpur for
certain charitable purposes, namely, to be distributed
among the poor of the said town, and fcr the relief of
poor decayed housekeepers residing therein. It appeared
that this charity had been given to the middle classes,
and many who paid taxes, and that it always had been
distinguished from parish pay. The Committee resolved,
Persons receiving Sir William Harpur's charity are not
thereby disqualified within the meaning of the determi-
nation of the 12th April, 1690."' The names of such
persons, he thought, were therefore entitled to remain
or the List.

subject, and argues that the alteration of the Corn-laws
proposed by the late Government would raise the price
of provisions. Sir Robert Peel is, therefore, acting
mercifully in maintaining the sliding-scale. Dotage
could no further go. "Lord John Russel," says this oracle,
has great reason' to believe that the new Administra-
tion will make no considerable alteration in the Corn-

laws. Lord John has become a prophet; he is a second
Daniel come to judgment I' Why, the general election
turned on this very point, and the kingdom, by an im-
mense majority, has decided that no considerable alte-
ration' shall be made ; at least no alteration that would
place a permanent tax on bread, such as the Noble Lord
proposed, and would, at the sama time, deeply injure
native agriculture ; fcr the Whig plan was possessed
of a most perverse ingenuity ; it would have raised
the price of bread to the consumer, while it in-
flicted irreparable mischief on the home grower. The
Noble Lord appears on the Corn-laws incapable of look-
ing at anything but the wants of the Treasury ; increase
of revenue is the object for which he would impose a
fixed duty on foreign grain. Now, happily for the
country, Sir Robert Peel has repudiated all such grovel
ling views on this subject ; he will not lay a permanent
tax on the prime necessary of life, even to make up the
deficit left him by the Whigs. Lord John Russell con-
cluded by disclaiming all responsibility in the proposed
delay. Nobody asked the Noble Lord to assume any.
responsibility ; the country has, on the contrary, relieved
him of responsibility ; and he may henceforth comfort
himself that the post of honour is a private station.' "
The Times jests on this serious subject in the following
strain :—" Her Majesty's Prime Minister having given
the brief and business-like statement already alluded to,
it occurred to Lord John Russell, as the prime oracle of
Opposition, that it might be well to take a night to think
of it, and frame his response accordingly. He has done
so, and last evening the first shrill trump of the Noble
Lord's foemanship was formally sounded. Before his
Lordship's bugle was fully winded to its proper party
pitch, it seemed to emit a few generous and amicable
flourishes. Sundry little militant airs were very sweetly
played. In particular, Sir Robert Peel's Irish appoint-
ments were honoured with a grand fuge. But in a
very short while the noble band-master's esprit de corps
got the better of his chivalry, and ere all was done,
' He blew a blast so loud and dread,'

THE MARKETS-THIS DAY.
NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL.
Town and country killed meat was in moderate supply, the

TEA MARKET.
Little business done but the principal holders were firm, and
the trade were compelled to pay stiff prices to meet their wants.
TALLOW MARKET.
Very little disposition to buy. Prices were little betizr than
nominal, at 46s on the spot and 48s to arrive.

that the whole Conservative ranks must have been
thrown into utter consternation, only his Lordship as-
sured them that the thing was done, not as betokening a
serious onslaught, but merely as the make-believe of a
private Parliamentary trooper. There was, therefore, no
mischief done. It did not even end in smoke—mere
sound was all that came of it."
The Chronicle thus exposes the grasping selfishness

and deceitful conduct of gir Robert 'Peel, in forcing Lor
John Russell to hasten the meeting of Parliament, on
pretence of the urgency of public business, while he now
secs no necessity for doing anything for six months :
" What makes the present conduct of Ministers yet more
glaringly disgraceful, is the energy with which, three
months ago, Sir Robert Peel insisted that the new Par-
liament should be assembled now, for the express
purpose, amongst others, of settling the Corn-law
question. Having carried his No-Confidence reso
lution, having driven the then Ministry to a disso-
lution of Parliament, and having enforced the early
meeting of the new Parliament, by refusing more
than a fraction of the Supplies, he also urged it, with
reference to the immense advantage which it must be to all
persons engaged in commercial specubtions, or enterprise
of any kind, to know what was to be the state of the law
affecting the importation of corn.' Such was Sir Robert
Peel's professed conviction no longer ago than the 7th
of June last ; a conviction backed by the refusal of the
year's supplies for carrying on the Government. Under
the constraint which he applied, Parliament is sitting.
The settlement which he so imperatively demanded has
been recommended from the throne. The powers of
office are in his hands. He can carry his own mea-
sures.' He can bestow this ' immense advantage ;' or,
b) withholding it, inflict an immense injury.' • But the
real purposes of the party are gained, and commercial
speculation' may malt till next year. The pretence
stands exposed in all its hollowness ; the professed be-
lief and anxiety in all their falsehood."
The Dublin Evening Post considers that the Reform
party was never so powerful in Ireland as now, and for
proof points to the dinner given to Lord Morpethi—
" We have said that the meeting of Tuesday night Whs
calculated to raise high hopes for the Allure, and we ,
said truly; for it was impossible to witness that mani-
festation of the increasing strength and the cordial union
of the Reformers of Ireland, without being convinced
that she possesses within herself the power of protecting
and extending her rights against any confederacy of
bigots and monopolists, whether they attempt to delude
by fair n ords, or openly assail her liberties by coercion. •
