THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNEDAY MORNING, MAY 20, 1846.

Lacy. What we have considered as reprehensible in the
Protectionists, has not been so much theirpereistance in an illu-
sory train of arguments, as the manner in which they trifled
with the time most precious to a commercial country, and
the manner likewise in which we regretted to perceive them
forsaking a rational discussion upon the merits of a system,
for the somewhat irrational enunciation of personalities.
For the nature of any one's opinions it is impossible
for us to condemn an individual ; and the same
reasoning is, of course, applicable to a company of individuals.
Freedom of opinion is indeed quite as desirable as freedom of
commerce : the one being as likely to fructify the mind as the
other is to nourish the body. It was not, therefore, for their senti-
ments, but rather for the unfortunate manner in which these
sentiments were propounded, that we regarded the Pro-
tectionists as worthy of reprehension. And it is be-
cause we are sanguine that their colleagues in the
Upper House will recognise, by the recent division in the
Commons, the futility of any extended opposition that we
turn to that Eight Honourable Assembly animated by
a double curiocity and inspired by a double hope.
Those amongst their Lordships who are imbued with
genuine feelings of attachment to the oldsfashioned
policy of emasculating agriculture and manufacturing
industry by a series of protective imposts, must,
nevertheless, allay their enthusiasm in its cause for their
own interests, for the interests of agriculture, and for the
general interests of the empire. They must, in the first
instance, perceive the impracticable nature of any endeavour
to sustain their own system by pertinacity of antagonism;
they must derive this conviction from experience, from the
records of all former measures, from the pages of Hansard
during the four months last past. With reference to their
own interests, the Peers must calculate the contingencies of a
rebuttal on their part, supposing that to be possible ; they
must reflect upon the consequences of this great Bill (which
has already received the accordance of the people and of the
House of Commons) being rejected by the aristocracy.
And what, according to the most rational deductions,
would those contingencies actually be ? What would be the
most probable effects of such a rejection, or which amounts
to something tantamount, of such a mutilation of the mea-
sure as would ensure the refusal of the popular representa-
tives? Would not much of their Lordships' influence among
the multitst ibe ip0n4.1170,12..... Nirm‘l.l -^` "
as the only .—. upon e Chamber of Peers . -1:: tacly o s e
between themselves and untaxed provisions? Would not the
whole onus of that rejection rest upon their sl4Qulders, and by
inference militate against that respect and that confidence
which the English people have hitherto reposed in their
councils ? The consequences of such a diminution of esteem
and of such a dispersal of confidence are too ostensible to re

quire any more explicit definition. It behoves their Lordship
to weigh these considerations well before they tamper with a
whole people. It behoves them to reflect, also, whether by the
refusal of an act which the vast majority consider as an act
of solemn justice, they may not hazard a still greater struggle
for political reformation— whether the popular mind might
not be so far excited by the contempt thus displayed &s-
-wards this Bill, as to insist upon still more mo-
mentous changes—whether a people, thus thwarted in
their demand for cheap food and untrammelled commerce,

might require not only a removal of all importation duties
upon grain, but, in the flush of their indignation, revive the
question of the franchise, the ballot, triennial Parliaments,
ard other similar requisitions. By refusing their ac-
quiescence to the present Bill the Lords would ensure the
instant dissolution of Parliament, and in conse-

queece an immediate appeal to the country. By
making that appeal to the country at this moment,

and under such peculiar circumstances, they would lite-

rally be tempting the excitement of the populace with-
out doors; and, instead of extinguishing what some amongst
them erroneously conceive to be a mine laid down for their

destruction, they would be setting a torch to a most
inflammable train, and one whose explosion is at all times
_ _ _

and seasons to be avoided. Such considerations as these, far
from being illusory or superfluous, are absolutely requisite
for the due appreciation of the juncture ; and ear-
nestly do we trust they will not be over-
lcoLed by our aristocracy. We would fain an-
ticipate, from the quiet manner in which their Lord-
ships allowed the Corn Importation Bill to be read a
first time yesterday evening, that these reflections may al-
ready be influencing them as to their behaviour during the
debate. On Monday next the second stage of the measure
will transpire in that sedate and august assembly of our le-
gislators, when the people will look to their Lordships for a
rational opposition and a rational dispatch. More is involved

in the mode by which the Peers will signify their judgment
upon this question than human sagacity can possibly con-
jecture. 'We desire neither leniency nor precipitation ; we
yearn only for justice, and for a speedy and a peaceful
decision.

There is nothing so utterly repugnant to every well-con-
stituted mind as any degree of cruelty perpetrated on those
who are unable to protect themselves, who, from their posi-
tion, are dependent on the person by whom his power has
been abused. This is greatly increased when the victim is
an orphan, without friends or relatives to whom he can com-
municate his wrongs, and from whom he may hope for sym-
pathy and support. We fear that there are too many cases
in which masters oppress and deal hardly with the appren-
tices entrusted to their care, whom they have undertaken
to maintain and educate, to communicate their skill
to, and to render useful members of society. The future
welfare of the apprentice in a great degree depends on the
manner in which he is treated, the line of conduct he sees
adopted by his master: if treated with injustice he becomes
sullen, and revengeful, broods over his wrongs in private,
and looks anxiously for any means by which he can annoy
or injure in return ; hence mutual dislike arises between
them. Neither will act cordially with the other; a system
of violence and brutality on the one side occasions indiffe-
rence, negligence, and annoyance on the other. The
master complains, probably with reason, of the conduct of his
apprentice, not considering that he himself has sown the
the seeds from which such fruits have sprung up, that if he
had been kinder and more considerate in his treatment
the other might, and in all human probability would, have
acted very differently. A fearful tragedy occurred this very
year, in which the master fell a victim to the revengeful
feelings excited in the mind of his apprentice, and that
apprentice himself, most justly, expiated his offence by a
shameful and ignominious death on the scaffold. We had
hoped that this lamentable occurrence would have acted
as a solemn warning to parties who were so connected
with each other ; but a case has recently occurred
that shows the imperative necessity of some steps
being taken to watch over the rights, and to protect
the interests, of the weaker class, and to convince the mas-
ters that they shall not be permitted to outrage every feel.
ing of humanity with impunity. On Friday last a master
tailor, residing in the neighbourhood of Islington, was
brought before a magistrate, charged with having most
cruelly beaten his apprentice, a lad 'aged about sixteen
years. It appeared that the boy had been brought up in
the Foundling Hospital, and that he had been apprenticed
from thence, a fee of 10/. having been paid with him to his
master on the occasion, who then undertook to teach
him his business, and to provide him with every neces-
sary, clothes included, during his term of servitude.
At Easter last the master sent the lad with a certifi-
cate of good conduct to the hospital, the authorities
of which, in pursuance of a most excellent and praise-
worthy rule, are accustomed to give small presents to lads
who have been brought up in the institution, and who con-
duct themselves properly after they have left it. A sum of
fifteen shillings was then given to the lad, as a reward for
his past behaviour, and as an encouragement to him to
proceed in a similar course. This small sum was at once
taken by the master, who said that he would apply
it in clothes for the boy, although he was himself
bound by the indenture to provide him therewith. It is

natural to suppose that the lad must have felt this injury
deeply, and that it might have been the primary and ex-
citing cause which induced the dislike and led to the outrage
which afterwards took place. In the course of the last

due advantage of the eituatioz which they are placed, of
the power entrusted to their bid.

The IVeser Gazette gives the edit of preserving the inde-
pendence of Cracow to M. GurT, "On the 18th of April,"
says that journal, "a dispatch is sent from Vienna to Paris
calling on the French Govetnent either to banish the
Polish exiles from France, or nfine them to some one par-
ticular department. M. Gum., in reply, declared the Go-
vernment could not do either and, on the part of France,
protested against any infringennt, by the three Powers, of
that portion of the treaty of Anna which guaranteed the
independence of Cracow."

In the Chamber of Peers, on Friday, the Marquis DE
BOISSY complained of the conduct of the Government in pro-
moting a colonel to the rank of major-general merely be-
According to the statement of the Marquis DE Boisst tiis
colonel, who was desirous of promotion, could not obtain
the necessary recommendation of his superior officers, and
applied to the Minister of War, who refused to grant him

I his promotion, as being contrary to the rules of the service,
whereupon certain Members of the Chamber of Deputies
waited upon MM. GUIZOT and DUCHATEL, and declared to
them that the officee in question must be promoted to the
rank of major•general, as the price of his promotion was
thirty votes at the approaching elections.
The Minister of War indignantly denied the accusation
and enumerated the services of the officer in question, who
had been in the army forty-three years, which he considered
quite sufficient to Entitle him to his promotion. A very
animated debate appeared likely to ensue, but it was cut
short by the Due DE BnoumE, who declared the whole dis-
cussion irregular.

In tl te Chamber of Deputies, ea Saturday, ➢I.VrvIEN brought
forward his annual motion for depriving magistrates of the
right of naming the journals in which legal notices should be
advertised, inasmuch as the power had been abused in the
departments, for the purpose of corrupting the provincial
journals. The Keeper of the Seals denied that the power
had ever been abused, and the motion was rejected by 194
to 154.

of Public Works, instead of adjudication by public

members of the Committee are opposed to the measure,
three of them are favourable to it, and that the seventh had
moved the adjournment of the Committee until Monday,
which was agreed to, on which day the Committee will
examine the Minister of public works and the members of
the Council of Administration."

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of last Night.)
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 5,000
bales, of which 500 were for exportation, and on specula-
tion. The market was drooping, and closed rather heavily.
American and Surat were easier to buy, but other descrip-
tions were without alteration. Shares were dull.
The Share Market, as represented at' the public sales, has
shown within these few days a great tendency to improve-
ment, and some of the lines have risen nearly 50 per cent.,
but in almost all a considerable rise has taken place, particu-
larly in the Indian shares. Messrs. Wickham and Co.'s sale
was yesterday exceedingly well attended, and a large number
of sales was effected to members of the house and others, all
of whom find it good policy to buy in a market where the
stock is open to public competition. We quote a few of the
prices for the information of our readers :—Wexford, Water-
ford, and Valentia, 10s.—Rugby and Huntingdon, 225. 6d.—
Goole and Doncaster, 51s. 6d.—Madrid and Valentia, 21s.

The result of the important meeting of the Mexican bond-
holders, which was held yesterday, was just as was antici-
pated. The new terms offered were indignantly rejected by
a majority of; at least, twenty to one. Capitalists in this
country and on the continent of Europe have be-
come heartily tired and disgusted with the oft-
repeated attempts to cajole bondholders of all Ce •
scriptione, whetter for loans raised for Spain, Portugal, or
for the South American Republics, and P pretty unanimous
determination is evinced not to submit to such schemes for
the future. The Committee of the Spanish American bond-
holders, we are sure, have done the best in their power to
advance the interests of the general body of their consti-
tuents, whether Active or Deferred Stock proprietors, and
we cannot but think that some remarks made at yester-
day's meeting, by a few of the persons entitled to be
present, would, upon cool reflection, be withdrawn, and, in-
deed, apology offered if necessary. To non-paying States
(we cannot except America) a salutary lesson was read by
the decision of yesterday afternoon. John Bull is a most
ready party to tender aid, by cash and in person, to throw
off the yoke of despotism (in his private capacity, of course)
when under improper control ; but when money for
beneficial purposes is advanced, whether to continental or
to South American, or other countries, the strict principle of
honour must be enforced,. or dire obloquy await those who
seem desirous of tampering with solemn obligations.
There are not any very late colonial arrivals announced
this morning. Some accounts have come in from the Cape
of Good Hope, but the advices are void of interest.
relative to""—'*;""
The increase of vessels and tonnage arriving at Chicago,
this reason is astonishing. The whole number of vessels that
arrived there from the commencement of navigation, 6th
April to Ist November, was 151 steamers, (the Champion,
which makes tri-weekly trips to St. Jeseph's, included, we
suppose,) 80 propellers, 10 brigs, and 142 schooners, making
a total of 1,078 vessels, and a like number of departures,
independent of numerous small craft engaged in coasting
with wood, staves, &c. Notwithstanding this array of
vessels, there will remain over, unshipped at that place this
fall, more than 300,000 bushels of wheat."
Consols for the Account have been heavy at 9614, but for
immediate transfer at from 96% to 96%. The premium
upon Exchequer-bills is at 225. Bank Stock has just been
done at 205, and India Stock at 264.
Mexican Bonds have fallen this morning from 321, to
311, the result, of course, of the proceedings of yesterday.
The Deferred Stock is also a fraction lower; Portuguese Four
