support should be accorded without stipulations for any altera-
. tile Co' id Cr -0 Bill, introduced by the

ton to ern any —..oms-
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 in the empire I—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 into the tranquillity and the dolce
fur' niente tone which are usually the consequences of success
rejoiced that the labours of oar 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 df Lord
STamay upon his former colleagues. as well as a similar
exhibition of discontent from his supporters, the Dakes
RICHMOND and BUCKINGHAM. 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 soon 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 present session
will go far to demonstrate the fallacy of the impression, and
will adduce to futurity the age of VICTORIA 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, MoNoroLy, 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 JOHN in the perspective, the
present scene may be judiciously associated with the former—
this as establishing the emancipation of commerce, that as
assuring our persenal 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 fate of the Ten Hours' Bill was decided by the divi-
sion on Friday night. A majority of 10 obtained by the
Government may be regarded as a virtual defeat, and no
prudent Ministry would venture a second time to oppose on
their official responsibility a measure which is supported by
men of such weight and numbers in the House of Commons,
which has the general voice of the country in its favour, and
is sanctioned by the laws of mercy and justice. We find the
leading statesmen of the Whig or Liberal parties voting
in the minority, not from any selfish or fac-
tious purpose, nay possibly with regret that at the
present moment they should be found on any division by the
side of the Protectionists, but from a firm conviction that
the measure is desirable for the safety of the health, morals,
and the good conduct of the persons employed in factories,
and that the experiment can be made without any mis-
chievous results. The names of Sir GEORGE GREY, Lord
rAL.ILERSTON, LOrdiplitiDON, Lord JOHN RUSSELL, Mr. MA-
CAULAX, Mr. CHARLIES BULLER, and many others that could
be adduced, all appear in the list among the "Ayes." Such
an accumulation of authority, whether we regard the abilities
of the parties, their political station in life, their earnest
application to the subject, their practical experience, and
their knowledge of what is called political economy, cannot
fail to make a deep impression on the country, and direct the
attention of all who have hitherto remained apathetic or
neutral to one of the most important questions of the day.
In the arguments on the other side we can find nothing de-
cisive or calculated to make an impression unfavourable to
the Bill. They abound in doubts, and fears, and misgivings,
for which no reasons are given except the uncertain results
of any great change, which might have been used with equal
effect against the Catholic question, the Reform Bill, and in-
deed all the numerous remarkable measures which have re-
ceived the sanction of the Legislature within the last 20 years.
Sir R. PEEL seems to admit that he is groping in the dark
while he anticipates, at the same time, a voluntary agreement
between the masters and the employed. " I intreat the
House," said he, at the conclusion of his speech, "to post-
pone taking this irrevocable step, for irrevocable I think it
will be, until you have better ground than you have at the
present moment for drawing safe conclusions as to the effect
of the measure." And the concluding argument of Mr.BRIGHT
against the Bill was in our opinion strongly in it
favour. He looks forward, and very justly, to the working
of free-trade principles, and the abolition of the corn-laws,
as remedies for many of the sufferings that oppress the
operatives—nay, he anticipates that they will work the
very cure for which the Bill is intended, that the manu-
facturers would become more kindly and gentle to their
labourers, and both would feel the conviction that they
could gain by a voluntary arrangement all they could
gain by legislation. The speech of Lord JoaN RUSSELL
was very brief, but it contained not a few striking
arguments, and showed that, under all circumstances, the
master manufacturers were the last that should oppose
this boon to the working classes. The abolition of the duty
on raw cotton had caused them a saving of not less than
thirteen
Per cent, and Mr. ASHFORD admitted that the tax
on corn absorbed the labour of two hours a day, equal to at
least fourteen per cent. loss ; and cannot, therefore, the ca-
pitalist, with this twenty-seven per cent. saving, afford to
risk a change which, according to the widest calculation of
Sir JAMES GRAHAM, will not endanger his property beyond
sixteen per cent.? In the opinion of many it will not en-
danger it at all. We lean, therefore, to the side of mercy,
and encourage the hope that some measure of the kind will
yet be carried into effect, and that, among other blessings, it
will substitute for the present stinted race that fill these
great national workshops, men possessing the bodily strength
and the healthy appearance of Englishman.

One of those extraordinary and lamentable occurrences
peculiar to Ireland lately took place at Bird Hill, in the
county of Tipperary, when two human beings lost their lives
in a resistance to the execution of an habere, under which the
sub-sheriff was about to deliver the possession of lands from
which the tenants had been ejected for the non-payment of ren t.
The circumstance was chiefly remarkable from the fact that
the tenant whose interest had been evicted was of a better
class than those who ordinarily are the victims to a similar
process, and it strongly exemplifies the deep-rooted antipathy
which exists throughout Ireland to any interference with the
soil by driving out the present occupant, w hen a number of the
people can be found readily to undertake au organised re-
sistance to the execution of a legal process attempted by the
sub-sheriff in person, backed by a strong force of military
and police, and to persevere in that resistance, although
requested to abandon it by the very persons on whose behalf
it was undertaken, until fatal results had occurred. The
case is strongly illustrative also of some of the evils incident
to the relationship of landlord and tenant in Ireland which
peculiarly attracted the attention of the Commission, at the
head of which was Lord DEVON, and for which we hope to
see ere long a legislative remedy.
Both the principal parties in this case were what is termed
in Ireland "middlemen"--that is, persons who take large tracts
