quantity of foreign corn in bond, and that when the
Bill passed the House, and received the royal assent,
the whole of this vast quantity would at once come
into market, to the total paralysation of that market,
and to the complete stoppage of the whole operation
of sales ; that the whole quantity in bond could not
be less than 2,500,000 quarters, and that there was
little chance that this immense supply would be at all
wanted, and that the average importation for the last
three years was but 550,000 quarters. Is Lord
ASH BURTON so ignorant of the characters of the
holders of the stock now in bond as to suppose that
they would be guilty of such unmitigated folly, of
such suicidal policy, as to ruin themselves for the pur-
pose of inflicting an injury on the farmer ? Does he
suppose that at the very moment of success they
would fling from themselves the fruits of that success
—the profits for which they had speculated—and
take in place thereof a considerable loss ? Even sup-
posing
• for a moment that his Lordship was
correct in all his data, and that the facts were really
as he supposed them to be, could they by a possibility
warrant such a conclusion as that his Lordship deduced
therefrom? What would be the benefit of hisresolution
to the country, if carried ? The price of corn was
stated by Lord KINNAIRD to have increased in
price no less than 4s. a quarter, and the quotation
in Mark-lane on Monday affords an answer to the ques-
tion. It is—" Wheat has gone fully ls. higher, and
steady demand. Oats Is., and Peas and Beans 2s.
higher; supplies short. Barley very scarce. No
panic, and no fear." This affords the strongest and
most conclusive proof of how little the dealers in
grain are influenced by the fears that disturb his
Lordship. But, supposing the resolution carried,
and that (as stated by his Lordship) the Bill
should still pass as originally intended, what would
be its effect ? what its utility ? Would it not, as
stated by Lord GREY, be a notice to the importers
that it was intended to bring in a Bill to amend the
present one—that now before the House? And
would not the consequence be that not an hour would
be lost in entering the whole quantity for consumption ?
and thus, instead of getting it gradually introduced, it
would be thrown on the market at once, and thus
would arise the very evil it was intended to avoid.
Would it not be like in some degree to the old tale
of an astrologer foretelling certain dangers to a new-
born infant at a particular period of his existence,
and the very steps taken by its short-sighted parent
to avoid the prediction beitig the cause of its fulfil-
ment ? Lord DALHOUSIE, however, in a most clear
and convincing speech fully disproved his
Lordship's facts ; he showed that at present
the corn in bond did not reach 1,900,000 quarters ;
that from every side accounts of a short coming her-
' vest reached us ; that nature seemed to be setting the
elements against us in that respect. It was true that
very little corn was imported in 1844 or 1845, but
that in 1842, 2,183;000 quarters had been admitted
under the present law in four weeks. He showed
that if there was mischief, it was owing
to the course adopted by the protectionists
themselves, who had intimated a strong objection to
the proposition for admitting the corn for consump-
tion, on the importers giving a bond to pay the
difference of duty payable at the time of sale and at
the 'time of passing of the Bill ; and he ably proved
that the resolution would be an ex post facto law of
the most unjust kind. The effect of his Lordship's
speech was so great, as to induce one of the most
zealous protectionists (Lord WicKLow) to vote
against the resolution. In the evening a cheering
statement was made, that the agriculturists would
not divide on the third reading, but content them-
selves with a protest against the measure, which was,
on that understanding, postponed until Thursday
evening, on which night it will receive the final
sanction of their Lordships.

Another of those cantankerous exhibitions of hos-

tility towards the Ministry, which have imparted to
this seision such a squabbling character, was intro-
duced on Monday evening by—of course—Lord
GEORGE B ENTIN Cit. Blind to the failure of his pre-
vious splenetic attacks, and unconscious, so it would
seem, of the unenviable notoriety which he has
already acquired for himself through those
vituperative ebullitions, his Lordship endeavours,
by some additional interference with public business,
to place the present Cabinet in an invidious light.
Little supposing that the sheen of invidiousness was
concentrating itself upon the noble representative for
Lynn.

" 0, wad some power the giftie gie us,
To see oursehi as ithers see us !"

Aware that the CANNING retrospect had proved
altogether abortive in rendering the Premier,
and, by inference, his Administration unpopular,
and aware, likewise, that the consequences
of a similar nature which were expected to
be derived from the division upon the Coercion Bill
were essentially very dubious, if not entirely inac-
cessible, Lord GEORGE seized upon the much-
talked-of Sugar Duties as the readiest in-
strument for the execution of his most che-
rished project. Nothing could be more suitable
for his purpose, he imagined, than the Ministerial
proposition for the extension of those duties for
another month ; it afforded him the opportunity of
inveighing against the unseemly dilatoriness of
Government in "allowing 3,500,0001. of revenue to
run within fourteen days of expiring before
a Bill was introduced for its renewal,"—
the annual expiration of the duties dating
itself on the sth July, and their renewal
for merely another month (viz., to the sth August),
belag brought forward for the first time ye,terday
evening by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. Here,
indeed, to the sanguine imagination of the protec-
tionist leader, appeared to be a delicious medium of
invective. What legislative incompetency did not
these circumstances display—circumstances by which
upwards of three millions of revenue might be placed in
jeopardy ! What a calamitous want of forethought
did it not imply in the Ministers; what an egregious
absence of anything systematic or prudential in their
arrangements ! Did not the very procrastination of
the whole affair, did not this feature of the circum-
stance alone evince the total incapacity of
the present Administration, and the com-
mercial profligacy by which the councils of that
Administration were regulated ? Such were the in-
sinuations levelled at, and the inferences drawn from
the behaviour of Government in reference to the
sugar duties. Lord GEORGE BENTINCR either could
not, or would not, see that, however much the pro-
position of the Chancellor of the Exchequer night
bear the appearance of tardiness, that that tardiness
originated in the extraordinary character of the
session, that it was rendered almost necessary by the
thousand considerations of mercantile reform which
had occupied the unceasing attention of the legislators,

undiminished love for protection by demanding a re-

but for the customary period—namely, for one entire

ity of the Ministry.
year. Now, first, as to the incapacity
Surely it is rather an anomalous coincidence to
find a charge of this nature cast upon a Ministry
under whose auspices the revenue has flourished
almost beyond all precedent, certainly beyond all
anticipation ! And it is an anomaly—a
most
wonderful anomaly—to discover in the utterer of
this accusation a legislator but barely fledged into
statesmanship, though undoubtedly one of a most
" speculative" mind ! It is impossible, moreover, not
to observe that the accuser rests this charge of in-
capacity upon nothing but conjectures, that the
malign consequences which he anticipates are alto-
gether supposititious. The delay might prove pre-
judicial—the present Government might be ousted
and another might be unformed when the
sth of August transpired ; and by this possible occur-
rence three million five hundred thousand pounds of
revenue money might actually be perilled! These ideal-
isms of future events may be ingenious enough, but
the mere ingenuity of idealisms are insufficient to shake
fir F4bli2 C 011001173 ia 21, Oabinet which has acAived

—not merely idealised, but literally achieved so
much in aid of the national prosperity. Secondly,
as to the removal of the sugar duties for another
year, from the approaching sth of August. Such a
proposition is worthy of the intellect of Lord GEORGE
BENTINCK. It is a proposition so utterly incom-
patible with this anti-taxation age. Besides
is it reasonable to suppose that a Parliament
which has so sweepingly annulled all imports
upon foreign grain would allow themselves
to be cajoled into a whole year of antiquated
impost of foreign sugar? The mere conjecture is
preposterous. And even if the colleagues of Lord
GEORGE co-operated with him in demanding the
usual annual renewal, and persisted in the de-
mand, the discussion would, as the Chancellor
of the Exchequer asserts, extend beyond the
sth day of July, leaving the revenue without
any sugar duties whatever. With the renewal for a
single month, we can reconcile all the involved cir-
cumstances of this particular species of protection.
That additional month will enable the Ministry and the
Parliament to consider'the question of its continuance
without precipitation: it will afford the Government
an opportunity for propounding some permanent
scheme for the importation of foreign and colonial
sugar—a scheme more accordant with their present
commercial policy, and more acceptable to a nation
which has obtained free trade. Besides which, the
interval will give time to Lord J. RUSSELL to bring
forward his project upon this phase of our commerce.
For these reasons, therefore, we conceive that Lord
GEORGE BENTINCK would have displayed more wis-
dom in conceding to the motion of the Chancellor of
the Exchequer, and more courtesy in candidly
avouching his antipathy to the Government, and in
boldly moving an address of " want of confidence."

Intelligence from Constantinople to the 7th, and
from Smyrna to the sth, has been received. Owing
to the intervention of the English and Russian Am-
bassadors, it h supposed that the difficulties which
stood in the way of the immediate conclusion of the
treaty between Persia and the Porte had been got
over. In Smyrna several bankruptcies had taken place.

Athens papers of the 10th June have been received.
They contain no news of importance. The Ist June
was the anniversary of the accession of King OTIIO.
His Ministers proposed to make various promotions in
honour of the occasion, to all of which he refused his
sanction, as he was anxious not to entail additional bur-
dens on the treasury.

Madrid papers of the 16th have arrived. The
Alcaldes of the Province of Badajoz had received a

notice from the Political Chief to the eff!ct that it was
her MAJESTY'S desire that every attention should be
raid and every assistance rendered to COSTA CABRAL
nd his brother SiLva, the ex-Ministers of Portugal.

The Three per Cents. were done at 3.3% for cash, and
3:31/2 fur paper ; the Five per Cents. at 20.78 for cash ; the
Debt without Interest, 67,8 for cash ; and the Shares of the
Bank of San Fernando at 285 ; and those of Isabel at 96.

We have received the Paris papers of Sunday. They
all refer to the unt-xpectedly sudden election of the new
PopE, who has assumed the name of Plus IX. The
new Pontiff is Cardinal JOHN MARIA MASTEI FER-
RETTI, of the family of the Counts of that
name. Ile was born at Sinigaglia, in the Roman
St.t.,A, on the 13th of May, 1792. He was Archbishop
of Imola,. had been reserved Cardinal in petto on the 23,1
December, 1839, and proclaimed on the 14th December,
1840. Ile was a Cardinal of the order of the priests.
The Conclave of the Sacred College has lasted but two
days. It commenced on the 14th of June-and ended on
the 16th. Seldom has a Conclave bee❑ so short. This
election appears to have given great satisfaction to France.
The new POPE is a man of liberal principles, and it is
probable that he will grant those concessions, and intro-
duce those raorna, which are so absolutely required, and
the refusal of which has occasioned so many insurrec-
tions in the Papal States.
The Debuts gives the following account of the elec-
tion:—

" The, Conclave of the sacred College only lasted two days.
It commenced on the 14th, and terminated on the 16th of
June. Rarely has a conclave been so short. It is said that
the political position of the states of the Church, and the ne-
cessity of putting an end to the agitation which might have
ended in disorder, hastened the determination of the car, i •
nals. The new Pope has the reputation of being moderate
and conciliatory, and his domination has been generally
favourably received. Cardinal Mastcti Ferretti, in mow-ring
the throne of St. Peter, takes the title of Pius IX. Ile is
one of the youngest Popes (being, as we stated yesterday,
only 54 years of age) that has ever been nominated.
This circumstance ought to be considered a good
augury. The cardinals have often been rerroached
with fixing their choice on men whose age pre-
vents them from displaying much activity. On the present
occasion this taunt is fortunately not borne out by the fact.
There is in Italy a proverb which says of the Popes, ' .Non
videbis annos Petri'—(You shall not reign so long as Peter).
St. Peter reigned twenty-five years, and as the saying is not
an article of faith, it is no heresy to express a hope that it
will now not be realised. Trusting that Pope Pius IX. will
consecrate the influence which his high position gives him
to the maintenance of the spiritual peace of the Catholic
world, and to the furtherance of that amelioration of which
the states placed under his temporal guardianship have so
much need, we sincerely hope that he may see the years of
Peter, and that his reign may be prolonged for the good of
the church of which he is the head, and that of the people
of whom he is the sovereign."

The Presse say's:—
"Cardinal Mastei Ferretti has been elected by acclamation.
There are three modes of electing The most usual
modes are by ballot and by accession. As to the election by in-
spiration or acclamation, the words which serve to designate
it shows how it is practised. It is this mode of election that
takes place when, by a sudden inspiration, which is con-
sidered as coming from Heaven, the cardinals name a Pope
unanimously and by acclamation. The use of this mode of
election is less rare than might be supposed. History men-
tions thirteen or fourteen instances of it. The most memo-
rable is the election of Gregory VII."

The Chamber of Dquties voted on Saturday the
budget of rcct-ipts, and the session may be conaiderid as
virtually over.
The Presse states that the Electoral Col-
leges will meet on the Ist August, and
the new Chamber will meet on the 17th August,

for the purpose of verifying its powers and forming its
Bureaux, after which it will be prorogued.

Marshal BUGEIUD and the Due D'AUMALE ar-
rived at Oran on the 10th, and set out imme-
diately for Djemma Ghazaouat. General GENTIL re-
turned to Algiers on the 15th for the valleys of the Isser
and Ameuraouas. A convoy from General RANooN's
division, proceeding from the country of the S,)ukaras
to Bona, with twenty-five sick and wounded,
was attacked at Ras-el-Gasseur by 600 Arabs, the escor
put to flight, and the sick and wounded massacred.
Among the latter were three officers—M. NoEL, Captain
of Hussars ; M. CASTELLI, Surgeon-Major ; and an Arab
named HONARAOUI, Sub Lieutenant of the Spahis.
General RANDON, on hearing of the occurrence, marched
to Rus-el-Gasseur, killed 200 individuals of the tribe
guilty of the massacre; burned all their villages, and cap-
tured 12,000 head of cattle.

The following are the new quarantine regulations
about to be issued by the French Government :—Pas-
sengers arriving from Constantinople in Government
ships with clean bills of health, and having a medical
man on board, shall be at once put in " libre pratique,"
if nine days shall have elapsed from the day of sailing,
or, in other terms, the quarantine will commi•nco from
the day of sailing. The same rule applies to mer-
chantmen having a medical man on board. Passengers
on board a merchantman not having a nu dical man on
board, shall be subjected to five days' quarantine.
Goods will follow the rule of the ships in which they are
carried. With regard to Egypt, all arrivals from
Alexandria are at present considered under the category
of " foul "or " suspected." For the future these arri-
vals may have " clean bills," like those from Constanti-
nople. In that case, the passengers of Post office packet-
boats,nzari with a medical man on board, shall be admitted to
libre pratique twelve clear days after their departure
from Alexandria. Passengers by the merchant ships

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was dull.
Sales, 5,000 bales, including 700 American, at 51,4 d. to 61/0.
for export. There was no alteration in prices, but buyers
had au advantage. Shares were quiet.
There are ship letters but by one arrival to-day, viz., the
Great Britain. These are considered to be favourable in re-
ference to mercantile and monetary matters, and are certainly
satisfactory to the Americans in respect to their warlike
operations against Mexico. Referring to the Oregon matter,
which is likely to be of revived interest. a New York con-
temporary states that there must be great concessions made
by each—perhaps greater than either will be disposed to
make---and all for a territory which, at a meeting in New
York, Mr. Buchanan, if our memory serve right, thus
graphically, arid, no doubt, honestly, describes:—
" Mr. President,—The thought which is deepest as well as
uppermost in my mind, which pervades it entirely at all mo-
ments' which I am sure occupies your minds as well us mine,
must have vent. The dark clouds we have so long seen
rising from the west—do I now meet you for the last time
before they are to burst in thunder and lightning, and to
scatter us? Are the hands of brother to be raised against
brother, like those of Cain? Are the land and the sea to be
stained with blood shed by kindred? God forbid! Oar last
accounts from England give us the oft-repeated assurance
that the British Government entertain a moot earliest desire
to preserve peace. The meeting here this evening of so
many respectable persons of both countries evinces the na-
tural sympathy which exists amongst us. All of Oregon is
not worth half the loss which the apprehension of war re-
specting it has already produced. Were I not afraid of be-
coming tedions, I might, from personal experience,
give you some idea of the value, or the value-
lessness (if I may use the word), of the country
beyond Lake Huron.—(Go on.) Then you must pardon the
appearance of egotism. Gentlemen—it was my honourable
task, after five years of exposed service, about the upper
great lakes and beyond them, to superintend the establish-
ment of the now much-talked-cf 49th parallel of north lati-
tude, at the lake of the woods in the year 1825, and there to
erect a monument. I tell you, as a fact, that for a distance
of 1,000 miles, before 1 reached that point, though I visited
numerous posts and forts, as they are called, of the fur-
traders, between the months of May and October, which
are the most favourable to vegetation, I never could ob-
tain one single vegetable—a potato, carrot, turnip, or even a
sallad, to check the stringent thirst which our salted meat
produced, or to allay the appiehensiou of scurvy. I leave
it for you to imagine what luxuries are to be expected by
going further. May the AlmighLy dispose the hearts of the
rulers in both countries to the consideration of their con-
sanguinity and identical interest, and to the preservation of
family peace. And the Consul closed by giving this toast—
, Anglo-Saxon blood too good to be spilt? '
The British Plantation Sugar market, owing to the post-
ponement of the duty question, has been rising lately, and is
expected to keep firm with such unfavourable accounts from
the West Indies.

The Public Securities rule steadily for the most part, but
they exhibit no buoyancy, and the only improvement is in
Exchequer-bills, now quoted at 8. to 13s. premium. New
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have bken 96:11 to 96%, and
the Three per Cents. Reduced 95 to 1/2. Batik 'Aock is marked

The Foreign Investments have been dull. Spanish Five
per Cents. are 2414, and the Passives 514. Portuguese Four
per Cents. are 491/2 to 501/2. Mexican Binds have been at
2714 to 1/2, being a little flatter, but otherwise exhibiting
scarcely any alteration compared with yesterday, even in the
face of the interesting advices received to-day. Chilian
Bonds are at 96A ; Brazilian have been at 84.
The demand tnr Rulway Shares has been limited, and the
quotations, as the list will show, have not varied much.
