definitive, however, was declared. Even the
meagre and unsatisfactory changes alluded to were
rather faintly shadowed forth than dis-
tinctly and: positively declared. There was
the admission of something wrong and defec-
tive in the state of affairs, but no vigorous or
comprehensive view of the remedies that should be
applied. Will the community in general be satisfied
with such vague and unsubstantial acknowledgments?
We rather think not. It is for them to speak out,
temperately but firmly, and their wishes must be
respected.
The mischievous and impolitic course pursued by
the physical-force Chartists was made use of by the
Noble Premier as an argument against the concession
of the reforms demanded by the middle classes gene-
rally. Ia fact, he argued as if he thought the middle
classes and the operatives were conflicting bodies,
who had totally opposite views and feelings, and that
the latter were hostile to the four points demanded by
the former, because amendments were moved,
and perhaps in some instances carried, at meetings
convened in support of household suffrage, in favour
of the universal right of every male adult, unstained
by crime, to have a voice in the election of the repre-
sentatives of the people.
It may, perhaps, be worth while to examine
really are the points of difference between the
of the present reform movement and the honest
and conscientious Chartists, who repudiate the mis-
chievous doctrines of physical
desires by legal and
force, and who would
only seek the attainment of their
constitutional means. These differences are not, per-
haps, so great as might be imagined, and the exhibi-
tion of a little sound common sense and discre-
tion on the part of those persons would lead
them to aid with all their energies
the struggle that is now going forward, and the
success of which would give a large instalment of
what they themselves require. Mr. HOME demands
household suffrage, including therein every person
who shall have occupied a house or part of a house for
twelve months, and been rated to the relief of the
poor for that period, and that every lodger shall
have the right to claim to be so rated, and after such
rating, and residence for twelve months, to be regis-
tered as an elector. If this does not go to the full ex-
tent of universal suffrage, it would at least include
the great majority of those now unrepresented, and
the suffrage would thus be placed within the
reach of every man who thought it worth
his while to possess it. In place of their
being but one million of voters, there would,
as we showed yesterday, be from four and a half to
five millions out of the seven millions of adults ;
there would be nearly five-sevenths in place of but
one-seventh of the people entitled to the franchise.
The manner of voting—" the ballot"—is the same
as that demanded by the Chartists. The Parliament
would be triennial, and this at least would be a great
improvement on the present septennial system. The
apportionment of Members to population is to be made
more equal ; this surely bears a close resemblance
to the equal electoral districts: demanded as one of the
six points; there is also the abolition of the property
qualification, in which the aims of both parties
are identical. Surely an alliance might be
formed to carry out these objects. But as we have
already repeatedly declared, it is the violent men who
influence the passions of the multitude who are the
most formidable opponents of real reform, and of the
speedy attainment of popular rights.
We shall await with some anxiety the statement
by Sir ROBERT PEEL of his sentiments. A glorious
opportunity is now presented to him of assuming his
natural and true position—that of leader of the in-
dustrious classes—of the men who, in accordance
with the fiat of the DEITY, "live by the sweat of
their brow."

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The project of the Constitution is the subject of com-
ment in all of them, and it appears to be generally ad-
mitted that the members of the Committee appointed to
draw it up have done their duty honestly, sincerely, and,
generally speaking, satisfactorily.

The points which are likely to give rise to discussion
are the regulations with regard to the election of Presi-
dent, and the clause which forbids conscripts drawn for
the army to hire substitutes. This last clause will, pro-
bably, be modified by the Assembly.
There are six candidates in the field for the President-
ship of the Republic, viz., M. de Lamartine, M. Thiers,
Prince Louis Napoleon, M. Armand Marrast, General
Cavaignac, and M. Caussidiere. The Orleans party and
the Berryer section of the Legitimists support M. Thiers,
the Legitimists generally support Lamartine.

According to report, the Marquis of BEDSiAR is the
new Royal favourite vice SERRANO, and his pretensions
are supported by CHRISTINA and NARVAEZ. A bureau
of intrigue has been established, at the head of which
are MM. GLUCESBURQH and TALLEYRAND, the avowed

ITALY

LOMBARDY.
The Piedmontese Gazette, of the 15th instant,
states, that the blockade of the port of Trieste, by the
zombined Italian fleet, has been officially announced
by the Italian Admirals to the Consuls of the different
nations residing in that city. The communication is
signed Albini, Sardinian, de Cosa, Neapolitan, Buor,
Venetian.
The Piedmontese Gazette says, that, on the 14th,
the Duke of Genoa occupied the important position
of Corona, abandoned by the enemy after a short
defence. The King, after having transferred his
head-quarters to Valleggio, was preparing to march
to Verona on the 15th.
The Risorgimente states, that all the villages
depending on Luniago wish to effect their imme-
diate union to the kingdom of Upper Italy.
Letters of the 14th, from the head-quarters of the
Piedmontese army, state that the expected attack on
Verona did not take place, though 50,000 men were
brought within three miles of the city, in consequence
of its being ascertained that RADETSIEY, after the capi-
tulation of Vincenza, had returned with 15,000 men,

MONEY and COMME lAL NEWS.

_•
CITY, QUARTER TO T
The Cotton Market at Liverpool, yesterdar, was steady,
with a fair demand. American qualities at 3% per lb. were
rather firmer, but in other sorts there was no change. Sales
5,000 bales, of which 1,000 were American on speculation.
The Railway Share Market was quiet, and prices generally
were lower.
There are various arrivals to-day from east and west.
The report of the mercantile markets in India is very satis-
factory, considering past events, and money was decidedly
easy. The affairs of the unfortunate Calcutta Bank were
still the general theme of conversation, but it is impossible
to say how the depositors will come off. There was a strong
disposition to force the shareholders to pay wherever they
possessed means, to the fullest extent.
We can hardly expect anything favourable from the West
Indies, and are consequently not disappointed at the tenor of
the accounts before us. In nearly all the islands money was
very scarce, and there was a conviction that the expenditure
must be greatly reduced. The weather generally was
favourable, but there were parts in which rain was greatly
needed. The affairs of the West India Bank progressed but
slowly, and the bad debts were found to be heavier than was
expected.
The Hibernia steamer 'is telegraphed as having ar-
rived off Liverpool, but we shall probably have no letters
to-day.
The Corn Market is steady to-day for wheat, but spring
grain is lower.
In the Funds business ii very slack to-day, and prices are
not so good. The intelligence of the reported defeat of the
Italians has an effect in checking business, but the pro-
ceedings of Parliament are not without their influence.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY

The present week's arrival of English Wheat for our market
coastwise, as well as by land carriage and sample, has been but mo-
derate. The attendance of buyers to-day was tolerably numerous;
while the demand for all descriptions was steady, at fully Monday's
advance la the quotations. The best pareels of Foreign Wheat—the
supply of which was moderate— moved off steadily, at full rates of
currency. In the middling and inferior kinds, only a moderate busi-
ness was doing, at late figures. The imports of Foreign Barley con-
tinue large. That article was heavy, on somewhat easier terms.
M alt —the supply of which was moderate —moved off slowly, but we
have no decline to notice in value. AT ea rly 18,000 quarters of Foreign
Oats have come to hand. Coastwise, as well as from Ireland, very
few cargoes have been reported. The Oat trade was very dull, and
prices receded Gd per quarter. Indian Corn, Meal, and Flour, were
quite as dear.

BOROUGH ELECTIONS BILL.
Colonel SIBTHORP inquired of the Secretary for the Home
Department whether it was likely the Borough Elections Bill
would be further considered by the house to-morrow ?
Sir G. GREY said he should not like to state positively that
the Bill would not be brought under the consideration of the
Ilouse to-morrow, but he begged to remind the Hon. and
Gallant Member that the adjourned debate on the West Indian
question would take precedence of the Bill.
VAN DIEMEN'S LAND—DISMISSAL OF A JUDGE.
Mr. ANSTEY gave notice that he should renew his
motion, which was dropped last night, on the House being
counted out relative to the dismissal of a judge in Van Die-
men's Land. He also gave notice that he should put a tiles-
tion to the Under-Secretary for the Colonies relative to a dis-
crepancy between the statement which he made last night and
that made on Monday night, concerning the recent dispatches
which had been received from the Governor of Van Diemen's
Land.

SIIPISPENDED WRITS.—CHELTENHAM.
Mr. STAFFORD moved that Mr. Speaker do issue his
warrant to the Clerk of the Crown, to make out a new writ
for the electing of a burgess to serve in this present Parlia-
ment for the borough of Cheltenkam, in the room of Sir
Willoughby Jones, Bart., whose election has been determined
to be void. The Hon. Member stated that the total popula-
tion of the boroughs with respect to which writs had been
suspended, amounted to 147,103 persons, and that the total
number of registered electors in those boroughs was 10,122 ;
and he was of opinion that it was most unconstitutional and
unfair that so great a number of persons should be disfran-
chised as they were at present, in consequence of the illegal
acts and proceedings of only a small portion of the electoral
body.
Mr. ANSTEY seconded the motion.
Mr. MOWATT hoped that before going to a division,
the Government would give the House some idea of the
course they intended to pursue, for at present they were quite
in the dark. He held that it was most unconstitutional that
this House should take on itself the functions of the three
estates, and keep;several constituencies unrepresented in Par-
liament.

Sir GEORGE GREY said that the Honourable Member
called upon him to state what the intentions of the Government
were with respect to suspended writs. He could not afford the
Hon. Member the information he desired, because these were
cases in which every Hon. Member should follow that course
which his own judgment prompted him to pursue. With re-
spect to this ease, he found that the Committee bad not re-
ported that cases of bribery had extensively occurred here, and
although he was not prepared to lend his voice to the con-
tinuance of that system, until the opinion of the majority of
this House should decide upon the subject, still he would not op-
pose the issuing of this writ. The Bill which had reference to
these cases would shortly be brought before the House, hut in
the meantime, therefore, he saw no reason why a writ should
not issue for the election of a Member for the borough of
Cheltenham at this time.

Mr. GORING gave notice that, in the event of a writ being
issued for Cheltenham, he should to-morrow move that a writ
issue for the borough of Horsham.

Sir J HANDIER said there were many precedents for the
non-reissue of the writs for boroughs where these offences were
proved to have been committed. These had been cited as occur-
ring in the reign of William 111. He would referthe House to
the reign of Charles 1., when Parliament were op-
posing all aggressions on their liberties, and then
the House decided that the Lord Keeper had
not the power of issuing his writ until the sanc-
tion of the House should have been obtained. He
thought that the House should lay down some rule in cases
like this, and until that were done, he thought this writ ought
to be suspended.
Mr. ADDERLEY hoped the Hon. Baronet would not
oppose the issuing of thia writ, because the offences, trilling
as they were, might be alleged against every borough.
Mr. S. CRAWFORD said that although he had formerly
opposed the issuing of these writs, yet until he saw some inten-
tion on the part of the House to Lying in a Bill to amend the
matter he should not be a party to the depriving so many con-
stituencies of a voice in Parliament.
Mr. SLANEY rose, and was

CITY Or LONDON TRADE PROTECTION SOCIETY.—
The anniversary dinner of this society took place on
Monday at the London Tavern, and was very numerously
and respectably attended. The Lord Mayor presided,
supported by Alderman Copeland, M.P.; Mr. J. P.
Gassiot, Mr. G. M. Dowdeswell, Mr. T. A'Beckett, Mr.
S. Ridley, Mr. S. H. Lee, and other gentlemen closely
connected with the trade and commerce of London.
The society, which has existed for more than 70 years
under a different name, has recently given a great and
important extension to its operations, and bids fair to
supply a lamentable hiatus in the social wants of the
metropolis. The want of a public prosecutor, and the
undue facilities which have been given under our insol-
vent and bankruptcy laws to fraudulent debtors, have
imparted to the City of London Trade Protection
Society a fresh stimulus, and it now assumes the form of
an association among the tradesmen of London for the
suppression and exposure of swindling, in the thousand
forms which the facility of credit has enabled it to
assume. No better illustration of the value of such an
institution could be required than a fact mentioned by
Mr. Brewster last night, in the course of a humorous
speech made by him while responding to the
toast of " Prosperity to the Society," which the Lord
Mayor proposed with great good feeling and sound
sense. Mr. Brewster mentioned that the very room in
which the company was assembled had very recently
been engaged by a set of swindlers for their nefarious
purposes, and that it was only by the intervention of the
society that the proprietors of the tavern had been pro-
tected from countenancing a project which would, by the
respectablility thus acquired, have made many victims
throughout the country. The society contemplates the
publication of a circular containing accurate lists of all
matters connected with the Bankruptcy and Insolvent
Courts, and putting in an available form the fullest in-
formation upon all subjects calculated to protect the
trade and commerce of the metropolis. To all who
know the value of such a society, if properly conducted,
it will be interesting to know that an opportunity now
exists of obtaining by the great principle of association
those benefits which are denied the mercantile commu-
nity
