LONDON, TUESDAY, MAY 26, 1846.

Prospects in the Upper House, with reference to the corn
measure, look more propitious at the present moment than
could reasonably have been anticipated at so early a period
of the discussion. All those insidious rumours which were
'recently propagated in certain quarters, to the effect that a
separation would occur among the Liberal Peers, so as not
intemly to endanger the acceptance of the Bill intact, but to
render the ultimate triumph of the protective principles
almost a matter of certainty, have now altogether evaporated
leaving " not a wrack behind !" On Saturday a eonvoeation of
between sixty and seventy Whig Noblemen (assembled in
Lansdowne House), arrived at the unanimous decision that
nncommercial policy would now suffice but one which would
ensure the full and permanent establishment of free trade ;
that any mutilation of the Ministerial measure would prove
derogatory to the interests of the community; and that their
support should be accorded without stipulations for any altera-
tion to the Corn and Customs' Bill, introduced by the
Prime Minister and sanctioned by the Commons. With this
most important announcement all expectations of a split
among the Whig aristocrats are dispelled, and the acceptance
of free trade by the other division of Parliament—perhaps
the greatest agricultural body is the empire !—assured be-
yond the most arrant scepticism. Our congratulations upon
this meeting and its consequent resolution are almost unre-
stricted. We congratulate the primitive advocates of the
great cause itself on the brightness of its futurity ; the Peers
in question upon the wisdom by which their determination
has been inspired ; the country party on their unwilling pre..
servation from a destruction for which they themselves are
striving, under a delusive impression of their own sagacity;
and the multitude generally, upon the fair promise which is
thereby given, that the proposed measures of relaxation
and abolition will have obtained the final approbation
of the Legislature before the days of " leafy June"
have altogether elapsed. Satisfied that the long-antici-
pated and long-desired victory is even now virtually accom-
plished, we can subside intts the tranquillity and the doke
far' niente tone which are usually the consequences of success
rejoiced that the labours of our legislative champions have
proved triumphant, and that the misjudging opposition of
their antagonists has proved futile. We shall, nevertheless,
be prepared to witness the furious onslaught of Lord
STANLEY upon his former colleagues. as well as a similar
exhibition of discontent from his supporters, the Dukes 0
RICHMOND and BCCIEINCHABL Still whatever may be the viru-
lence of their acerbity, and however obsolete their arguments,
a *patient hearing will be accorded to them from the moral
conviction of their impotence as opponents, and also in solemn
deference to the death-wail of an ancient system. Feeling
thus, and convinced that the boon of mercantile liberty
will be theirs at the announcement of the division,
the People can only look upon the forthcoming debate in the
Upper House in a spirit of subdued and complacent curio-
sity. Precisely as a drama will occasionally affect the spec-
tators, when their attention is somewhat deadened by the fact
of their recognising, in the opening scene of the last act, what
must inevitably be the denouement of the plot, though they
nevertheless persist in" sitting out" the piece to its termination,
for the purpose of rewarding the more successful performers
with their plaudits, and of sanctioning the morale of
the drama with their approbation. A very prevalent notion
exists, that the most eventful reigns in history are those
which are illumined by battles, and sieges, and campaigns ; and
that in the vicissitudes of military conflict exists the main in-
terest of our national records. If nothing else, the presen t session
will go far to demonstrate the fallacy of the impression, and-
will adduce to futurity the age of VlcroarA as glorious, not
for the suppression of civil wars, or the bloody conquest of
new territories, but for the suppression of a monster evil in the
Constitution, MONOPOLY, and the establishment of a mercan-
tile millenium, FREE TRADE. The records of the recent and
the pending discussion upon this noble achievement
will kindle the enthusiasm of posterity and excite their
merriment by turns ; while it will be an assurance to all after
generations that a speech may, under certain circumstances,
give evidence of as much valour es a forlorn hope; that a
Bill may be as memorable as a Proclamation penned upon the
battle-field, and that a vote may sometimes prove of infinitely
more importance than a charge of cavalry. And, notwith-
standing the spectacle be somewhat less picturesque than
the one witnessed upon Runnymede in 1215, with the Barons
in the foreground and King Joule in the perspective, the
present scene may be judiciously associated with the former—
this as establishing the emancipation of commerce, that as
assuring our personal rights as loyal subjects to the English
Crown. It is therefore with the liveliest feelings of satisfac-
tion and the profoundest sense of security, that we await the
decision of our Right Honourable Legislators, the Peers.

The Augsburgh Gazette mentions a report that the Aus-
trian Government intends to form a military railroad be-
tween Augsburgh and Ulm, so that, in case of any threatened
invasion, Ulm may be immediately supplied with troops.
The same journal, under the date Vienna, 16th May, states,
that the Emperor of AUSTRIA had ordered a rigorous inves •
tigation to be made into the complaints made, by M. DE
BoGusz of the atrocities committed on his family and pro-
perty by the peasantry during the late outbreak in Austrian
Galicia. SZELA, the peasant chief has, it is said, voluntarily
appeared to answer the accusation.

A letter from Cracow of the 13th, in the Cologne Gazette,
says:—" Warrants for arrest continue to be issued. The
prisons are guarded with the utmost rigour. At first the
relations of the prisoners were permitted to visit and bring
them their meals, but now this is prevented. One of the
prisoners, M. MORGENBESSER, a German ofgood family, who
had been employed at the coal mines of Zaworzno, and was
under a very heavy accusation, is said to have made his
escape while being taken before the examining magistrate to
be interrogated. Forty-two prisoners, all from Kosel, have
been given up to the Russian authorities, but their fate is
unknown. The Austrians have evacuated the fortress, and
taken possession of several private houses, expelling the in-
habitants. A great mortality prevails among the soldiers,
thirteen of whom died last night."
"The late events in Galicia," says the same journal, "will
not be witheut some influence on the relations between the
lords of the soil and their peasantry in the Danubian prin-
cipalities. By a Government decree of April 23, seigaioral
rights in Wallachia are to be submitted to revision, and all
contracts are to be signed by the village ancients, as well as
by the contracting parties individually."
The latest intelligence that has been received from Cracow
is of the 15th inst. A letter of that date announces that,
according to a supplementary convention, entered into be-
tween the three protecting Powers, Austrian troops alone
are to garrison Cracow, and, in consequence of the
distressed condition of the republic, the expense of the occu-
pation is to be defrayed by Austria. The constitution of
Cracow, the Senate, and its President, are to be suppressed,
and the Government is to consist hereafter of a Directory,
formed of three persons. It will be recollected that the three
peasants who arrested PANTALEON POTOCKI, near Siedlic,
and delivered him up to the authorities, were decorated for
that service with the medal of the order of Merit by Prince
PasxiEwrrca. They were recently all three found hanging
by the neck to trees in a forest near Siedlic.
In the Second Chamber of the Saxon Legislature the de-
bate on the report of the Committee respecting the riots at
Leipsic was resumed on the 18th. The report, which was
favourable to the Government, was rejected by a majority of
one, the numbers being respectively 36 and 37.

Accounts from Constantinople of the 7th instant announce,
that the treaty of Commerce between Russia and Turkey,
putting Russia on a footing with the other Powers who have
adhered to the treaty of the 16th of August, was signed on
the 30th of April, at Balta Liman, by M. TITOW, on the part
of Russia, and by RESCHID PASHA and Ttina Bri, on the
part of the Sublime Porte.

Dr. Cino v,z, of ga-tittez, i i‘; • Jo, 1,
has just escaped flOri assast.ivation. A simrt time q;o, iii the
middle of the night, he heard a noise at his door, and on his
asking who was there, he was told in a disguised voice that
his presence was required at the house of a patient; but his
visitors mentioned a name unknown to the doctor, who
replied that he would not attend until the following morning.
They then attempted to burst open the door, but the servants
of the house having by this time got up and come to the aid
of their master, the ruffians fled."
It is not the first time that attempts have been
made to assassinate Dr. CLAIRVAZ, whose profession renders
frequent journies among the mountains necessary. Some
time since, in the course of conversation, the
Canon RIVAZ advised him to change his opinions
or he would have cause to repent them. Dr.
CLAIRVAZ replied to the respectable curate of Arden
that had such a warning proceeded from any one else, he
should have attached no importance to it, while he
did as coming from such a source, but that, never-
theless, he must remain faithful to his convictions.
Dr. CLAIRVAZ, however, ever after, avoided being
out at night, and his assassins, tired of waiting,
have endeavoured to murder him in his own house. The
exertions of the police to detect the culprits have been un-
successful. Perhaps this would not have been the case if the
victims had belonged to the party of the clergy. It is to be
hoped, however, that Canon RIVAZ who so charitably
warned Dr. CLAIRVAZ will enlighten the officers of tustice

Madrid papers of the 17th have been received.
The Tiempo declares that Don LEONCIO RUBDT DE CELTS,
the chief of the late insurrection in Galicia, has been assas-
sinated in Portugal by his own followers. The report,
however, stands hi need of confirmation. The late
editor of the Espectador, Don FRANCISCO LABRADOR,
has been arrested at Cadiz, by order of the poli-
tical chief, and sent to Seville a prisoner. The Grand
Duke CONSTANTINE arrived at Algesiras on the 9th, and
without waiting to land, sailed immediately for Ceuta.
Orders had been sent to VILLALONGA to stay the execution
of the decree of banishment which he had issued against the
Countess MINA. An army of 18,000 men is assembled at

were not quoted on the Bourse, but sonic private transac-

Bank of St. Fernando sold at 370 for cash, and those of Isabel
at 200.

We have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday.
The discussion on the Budget of Expenses still continued
in the Chamber of Deputies. On Friday the discussion com-
menced on the Budget of the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Among the credits demanded was one of 60,000 francs fur a
Consul at Calcutta. M. L'HERBErrE objected to demanding
an exequatur for this Consul from England, because England
had not demanded an exequatur for her Consul at
Algiers, and that it would be impolitic by demanding an
exequatur from the Calcutta Consul, to recognise the
English conquests in India, unless England, by making a
similar demand for her Consul at Algiers, recognised the
French conquests in Africa.
M. GUIZOT, in reply, first proved the necessity of esta-
blishing a Consul at Calcutta by the following statement:—
"French commerce with the East Indies is progressively on
the increase; thus in 1839, our commerce, including
both imports and exports, which amounted to about
19,000,000, arose in 1844 to 39,000,000 •, our own
special commodities, which were but 18,000,000, rose
to 36,000,000 ; and our ships entering Calcutta
amount, in 1844, to 45. I hold in my hand the
opinions of assurance companies upon the good re-
sults which have been derived from Consuls-General, and
expressing a desire that a Consul-General should be settled
ill...lndia, giving to Culcutta the preference. The Minister of
Marine also expresses his regret that our ships did not find
the necessary succour at Calcutta, owing to the want of a
French representative. He thought 60,000 francs the least
that could be allowed a Consul-General living at Calcutta,
and he did not think there need be any apprehension that
on such a salary he could rival the luxury of the officers of
the Indian Company." •
On the subject of the exequatur he said—
" England had not yet occasion to ask for an exequatur
for her Consul at Algiers. bacAuse no new Consul had been
established in that residency since 1830; but whenever such
a new appointment should be made, either England should
demand an exequatur, or the Consul would not be permitted
to reside at Algiers."

On Saturday the Commission of Peers heard the report of
M. FRANK CARRE in the case of LECOLITE. It will be read in
the public sitting of the Court on Tuesday. The trial is
expected to commence on the Bth of June.

Accounts from Algiers of the 17th state that Marshal
BUGEAUD had entered the mountains, and that at his ap-
proach the Kabyles had fled. The Courtier Francais says
that the retirement of Marshal BUGEAUD from the govern-
ment of Algiers has been decided on, and that General SE-
pAsTurri will be his successor. Other accounts state that
the government of Algeria is destined for the Due
D'AUMALE.

There are eighteen companies who intend to bid for the con-
cession of the Lyons and Avignon Railway. The capital of the
Talabot Company is the highest, amounting to 140,000,000
francs ; that of the Debeaume Company is 120,000,000 f.
All the other companies, with the exception of that of Lecointe,
had fixed their capital at 110,000,000 f. ; the latter only
demanded 80,000,000 f. The deposit claimed by those
companies was 50 francs per share of 500 francs. The Griolet
and Chastellux Companies required 100 francs. The
amount thus paid into the hands of these companies is esti-
mated at 110,000,000 francs; and when the definitive shares
shall have been distributed, after the fusion, the surplus re-
maining to be reimbursed to the shareholders will be about
75,000,000 francs.

BIRTH OF A PRINCESS

From the London Gazette Extraordinary of yesterday

BUCKINGHAM PALACE, MAY 25, 1846.

At five minutes before three o'clock this afternoon the
Queen was happily delivered of a Princess. His Royal

Highness Prince Albert, several Lords of her Majesty's
most Honourable Privy Council, and the Ladies of her
Majesty's Bedchamber were present.

This great and important news was immediately
!lade known to the town by the firing of the Park
and Tower guns ; and the Privy Council being
assembled as soon as possible thereupon, at the Council-
Chamber, Whitehall, it was ordered that a Form of
Thanksgiving for the Queen's safe delivery of a Princess
be prepared by his Grace the Archbishop of Canter-
bury, to be used in all churches and chapels throughout
England and Wales, and the town of Berwick-upon-
Tq,ed, on Sunday the 31st of May, or the Sunday after
the respective ministers shall receive the same.

Her Majesty and the infant Princess ark, God be
praised, both doing well.

On Sunday, the artillery division of the Honourable
Artillery Company, under the command of Captain Iselin,
celebrated the anniversary of her Majesty's birth• day, by
firing a double royal salute. The division paraded at half
past ten o'clock, and were marched to St. Paul's District
Church, where an excellent sermon was preached by the Rev.
Lewis Marcus, M.A., on behalf of the Church Extension
Society. After Divine service, the division were marched
back to the Artillery Ground, and fired the salute, after
which a liberal subscription was made by the artillery divi-
sion,_ and handed over to the minister for the charity.

BECKY:NCI/AM PALACE, MAT ftei7:• ~ , ve minutes
before three o'clock, the Queen was sately delivered of a Princess.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of last Night.)
The Cotton Market at Liverpool on Saturday was again
heavy, and prices were 118 d. per lb. lower. The sales were
30,000 to 40,000 bales, including 800 for export and on specu-
lation. Shares were dull.
The result of the meeting held at Lansdowne House on
Saturday afternoon, at which between seventy and eighty
Whig Members of the Upper House were present, and at
which it was unanimously resolved to support the Corn Bill
of Sir H. Peel, without any amendments whatever, has been
the subject of universal conversation in all leading
circles this morning. Congratulations have passed that
this great measure may be now considered as be-
yond the chances of defeat. Parties unconnected with
trade or commerce know little of the impediments
which have been placed upon the interchange of
commodities by the protracted debates in the House of Com•
mons, and fervently is it hoped that in the House of Lords
the decision may be " speedy and soon," as the late Sir
William Curtis was in the habit of desiring business to be
transacted. The current rumour is that the Duke of
Wellington has still proxies at his disposal on Conservative
grounds, amounting to 70 or 75. Adding_ to these the
Whig Members of the House of Lords, who met Lord
Lansdowne on Saturday afternoon, and who agreed to take
tine measure, there can be little doubt that the Bill is safe,
and that following in the wake of the long period
of depression there will be a degree of anima-
tion in the trade of the country, which has
not been witnessed for many years past. The quotations of
the public securities are too high to permit of any material
advance, even were the Corn Bill passed; besides which, it
is certain that money will be required very extensively for
fresh commercial operations, should the Lords not reject the
Bill.

A document arrived by the last mail from Canada, and to
whi:h publicity has been given this morning, signed by Earl
Cathcart, and addressed to the Colonial Secretary. Upon
the face of the document the opini-ms expressed by Earl
Cathcart, savours strongly of the Richmond and Bentinck
policy, i. e., protection. Very broad assertions are made
by the Representative of her Majesty in Canada that the
alterations in the corn laws will not only destroy the carry-
ing trade between this country and the colony, but that it
may even tend to alienation of the people there, and
lead to annexation with the United States. But few
of the merchants here—ultra-Tories they are—have any faith
in results such as predicted. On the contrary, the mass of
merchants believe that all parties would be benefited by the
corn-law question being settled, as then fair competition
would be induced,' and the resources of our own colonies
brought more prominently forward.
There have been several commercial arrivals to-day; but
they are singularly barren of information, excepting to parties
interested. The trade of the port of London is at present ex-
tremely brisk, as far as respects the warehousing of all sorts
of produce that has arrived from colonial or foreign ports.
The Public Securities have been rather firm this morning,
but there has not been any considerable amount of business
transacted. Cash is more in request than it was a week back.
The payment into the Treasury and the Bank of England
on account of duties are daily on the increase, and
this will for a time, at least, tend to make the money
market rather tight. Consols for the Account have advanced
this morning to 96% %, and for Money 963/4. Exchequer-
bills have fluctuated from 17s. to 225. premium. India Bonds
are at 30s. premium, and Bark Stock at 205%.
The only bargains in the Foreign Bonds have been in
Mexican, at 31% 34 ; in the Deferred, at 1714 3/4 ; in Peru-
vian, at 394 ; in Spanish, at 24%; in the Three per Cents.,
at 37% ' • and Dutch Four per Ceut. Certificates were in re-
quest at 9 1%.
The Railway Shares still continue heavy. There are now
some hopes that the large amount in the hands of the Ac-
countant-General in Chancery, deposited on account of rail-
way projects, will soon be returned into circulation. Orders
were given in the Vice-Chancellor's Court on Saturday last
for paying out deposits upon ten or eleven schemes, the pro-
moters of which have not complied with the standing orders.

JTERTISEMENT —Dg. DE DASSEL, OF VAN DU-
MEN'S LAND, AND OLLOWAY'S PILLS.—EXtraCt of a letter from
John Knight, Esq., dated Launceston, the Ist of March, 1845:
" Professor Ho loway.—Dear Sir am authorised by Dr. de
Dassel, of this colony, to inform you that, having witnessed here.
in several instances, the extraordinary effects of your pills, he is in
consequence induced to say that you may make use of his ri..me as
attesting their efficacy. (Signed) "JOHN KNIGHT, Carr Villa,
late proprietor of tte Launceston Advertiser.' " hese Pills lid
upon the foundation of the system, thus curing the mist deeply-
rooted complaints, even when every other treatment has tailed.—
Sold at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 214, Strand, and by
11l rokectatie yeacl9rm 9f Illedicinee throughout the kingdom.

spoß TI 4G INTELLIGENCE.
Several charges arose out of the Derby betting yesterday after-
not n, and at one time it was doubtful whether, Tom Tullock, the
Peri colt, Fancy Boy, or Humdrum would leave off premier ; Lord
Maidstone's horse ultimately obtained that honour; Fancy Boy,
against whom 9, 10, and 12 to I had been laid, taking the second
place ; the Peri colt receding from 8 to 1 takers, 9 to 1 layers, and
Humdrum closing at 10 to I. Pyrrhus the First was in favour at
13 to 1, Crown Prince at 16 and 17 to 1, the Conjuror at 22 to 1, and
Ingo at 25 to 1, to which price Sting was also driven before th e
c'ose of the room, Sir Tatton Sykes gave way point by point, and at
the close was friendless at 20 to 1. Several outsiders were backed,
and the general prices at the break up shewed that, as for the
Chester Cup, the ewners of the horses are not very saw/nine.
Mendicant was backed freely at 4 to 1 for the Oaks, and dowering
at improving prices until she reached 18 to 1, taken. The last quo•
tation.s were as follows :

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sra—Tbe most interesting and exciting week in the year to the
sporting circles has at length anived, and with it the doubts and
difficulties attendant upon the decision of the first race in the world.
I will not dwell for an instant on the smaller races, for who cares
anything about them when the Derby is undecided. This is the
sixty. sixth anniversary of this important stake, and the number of
entries far exceed any on record, but of these entries four-fifths are
very trash—mere platers—without the most distant chance of win-
ning ; in fact, the value of these animals vary from 15 to 4,000
sovereigns. Just imagine what chance can an animal value 20 sous.
have against a flyer value 3,000 or 4000 guineas ; but, to the point,
out of 193 nominations, from thirty to thirty-three will come to the
post, and as far as I am able to judge at the present time they will be
the following ;—Tragical, Joinville, Tom Tulloch, Poynton, Spithead,
Crown Prince, Sir Edmund, Fancy Boy, Maid of Hampton, Hum-
drum, lago, Holloway, Sotades, Widred, Pyrrhus the First, Malcolm,
Premier, West Countryman, Peri colt, Sir Tatton Sykes, Traverser,
Nutleaf, Brocardo, Cantley, Conjuror, Sting, Ginger, Blackie, Me-
tilla, L'Hirondelle, Cynynion, and one of Sir Gilbert Heathcote's,
which he don't seem to know himself yet. To begin the filtration
we may dispose of the following as not having the shadow of a chime.,
Viz., Tragical, Joinville, Poynton, Spithead, Sir Edmund, Maid of
Hampton, Widred, Malcolm, Premier, West Countryman, Traverser,
Cantley, Blackie, Motilla, L'Hirondelle colt, and Cynynion. The
above disposed of, there remains fifteen which I will form into two
classes—first and second rates—and append their riders names. As I
have taken into consideration the' trash first, I will follow up the
same line of proceeding, and take the second rates next, leaving the
first rates to wind up with :

SECOND RATES.
Jockey. Remarks.
Tom Tullosh Nat A ditch miler
litoirwn Print. Wakefield A game two miler

Conjuror Winteringham Can't stay
Ginger W. Abdale Splendid blood.
I have in my remarks stated either the favourite distance of the
animal, or otherwise some quality for which it Is celebrated. I Will
now review the
