LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 19, 1851.

will be foiled in this attempt—that the Legislature
of the United lii gdom will not consent to stultify
itself at his dictation by rejecting that of which
they have v arGYed on five several occasions,
the numbs of votes in favour of the
Bill being 275, while those against it amounted to
223 only. Let every independent Member, every
lover of equity and justice, every one that recog
nises the good old principle of fair play, attend in
their places to-morrow evening, and show the Mi-
nister of Finance, that the British Parliament is not
to be dictated to by a—Sir CHARLES WooD.

Yesterday our columns contained, in the Parliamen-
tary reports, a speech delivered on the preceding
evening by Viscount PALMERSTON of a character so
elevated in its sentiments and so generous in its prin-
ciples as to reflect the highest honour upon the
Noble Lord, both as a statesman and an administra-
tor. It will not be forgotten that the discussion
which called forth the remarks of the Chief Secretary
of the Foreign Department of the Government was
provoked by the resolution submitted to the British
House of Commons by the Hon. Representative of the
West Riding of Yorkshire in favour of an interna-
tional reduction of armaments. Otherwise we
might say, that on Tuesday evening Mr.
COBDEN formally laid before the Imperial Le-
gislature the scheme so long indulged in by
himself and his associates, the originators and promo-
ters of the Peace Association. Repeatedly as we have
written upon this same gigantic day-dream of arbi-
tration, it cannot for a single instant remain a matter
of doubt to our readers whether we regard it and its
advocates with contempt or with complacency. From
the very outset of the movement we have protested
against it as a most idle and fantastic illusion, a pro-
ject not less singularly Utopian than that of M. CABET
in regard to Icarie, or than the famous enterprises ad-
ventured upon in bygone centuries for the discovery
of PRESTBIL JOHN'S dominions. So long, indeed—
such has throughout been our argument upon
the subject under consideration—so long as
human nature is marked by its present characteristics,
so long as cupidity, and jealousy, and envy,
and ambition are known as actuating passions
among nations and among individuals, so long
will it be frivolous to anticipate the arrival of
a time when war shall be impossible, when guns shall
fire only in celebration of fete days and joyful anni-
versaries, when the lion shall lie down with the
lamb, and the swords be beaten into ploughshares,
and the spears into reaping-hooks. It is all reason-
able enough to talk of the compact entered into be-
tween England and the United States, whereby the
great inland lakes of North America were rendered
the scenes of commercial enterprises, instead of re-
maining the arenas of bloodshed and spoliation. But
it should be remembered that the analogy scarcely
holds good in the present instance, seeing that the
one implies a treaty between two states, where-
as the other would necessitate an agreement of
the most complicated description between
all the powers and principalities of both
hemispheres. Already we have discovered by expe-
rience that a good example is but indifferently effec-
tual in inducing contemporary Governments to fol-
low that of the United Kingdom in any grand under-
taking in the way of improvement. Free trade has
been adopted by England, but hitherto the course
pursued by our Legislature in this matter has not
elicited a similar evidence of liberality from the other
nations of the four continents. Yet in reference to
free trade the national interests are not jeopardized
by the apathy of surrounding countries, whereas in
regard to the question of a reduction of armaments
the very existence of the empire would be at stake if
the Cabinet consented to any precipitate experiment.
Therefore it is that we rejoice to witness the resolute
manner in which Lord PALMERSTON refused to accede
in any way to the benevolent but preposterous
suggestions of Mr. COBDEN and his colleagues. In
rejecting the proposition of the Hon. Member for
the West Riding, however, the Principal Secretary
for Foreign Affairs articulated sentiments calculated
to proclaim the patriotism by which his whole soul
is animated in the discharge of his many anxious
and onerous responsibilities, and not merely the
patriotism of the Noble Lord's temperament, but
the pacific solicitude by which his entire policy has
for years been actuated.
Quidnuucs, without honesty or without informa-
tion, may talk fluently and flippantly enough of her
MAJESTY'S Foreign Secretary as a diplomatist ever
ready to plunge Europe into flames, and to bring
down all the calamities of war by way of effec-
tually impeding the progress of civilization. Mr.
URQUHART is not the only person in the
United Kingdom accustomed to talk in this idle man-
ner of the conduct of one of the wisest and noblest of
living statesmen. History tells, however, a tale very
different from this, proclaiming the skill with which
Lord PALMERSTON has during many years guided
the interests of his fatherland through the difficulties
of the most perilous crisis, without embroiling the
country with the rest of Christendom, or in any other
manner militating against the course of human im-
provement. Experience assures us, on the contrary,
that so far from being the firebrand he has frequently
been designated, her MAJESTY'S Principal Foreign
Secretary has shown himself the peacemaker and
arbiter between the rival forces of Absolutism
and Democracy, of Reaction and Revolution. In
testimony of this it is only necessary to direct
the general attention to the manner in which he con-
ducted our diplomacy through the dangers of 1848,
the bewildering and almost overwhelming perils of
the years of political convulsions, the epoch of the
great European Mindquake. Sedulous, moreover,
as have been his endeavours to secure the uninter

rupted tranquillity of England in her relations with
the rest of the powers of Christendom, his regard for
the interests and the dignity of Great Britain has
been as vigilant as it has been uncompromising. In-
somuch so that the name of PALMERSTON is a gua-
rantee of security to every Englishman floating under
the shadow of the national standard upon all the seas
of the globe, whether they be " icing the pole, or in
the torrid clime, dark heaving." A watchword of
protection to his fellow. countrymen, the title of this
illustrious statesman is at the same time a watchword
of terror to the most puissant potentates of the earth
if in any instance they have tampered with the rights
or liberties of an Englishman. And all this has come
to pass under the influence of the foreign policy as at
present carried out by Viscount PALMERSTON, a
policy which it would neither be wise nor grateful
on the part of the community to abandon merely for
the sake of grasping at the shadow of this dim and
illusory boon of Arbitration.

DEATH or COLONEL JARVIS.—We deeply regret
to have to announce that the demise of this respected gen-
tleman took place at Doddington Hall, on Saturday last.
The event is a source of deep regret to his numerous
tenantry, and especially painful to those with whom the de-
ceased was more intimately acquainted, He was 71 years of
age.—Lincoln Times.

DEATH OF COLONEL GRAVATT, LATE R.E.—Col.
Gravatt, late of the Royal Invalid Engineers, died on the
13th inst., aged 80 years. He entered the service in 1792,
became a first-lieutenant in 1793, a captain in 1799, a lieut.-
colonel in 1811, and a colonel in 1821. .

His Royal Highness Prince Albert (after presiding
at the meeting held at St. Martin's-hall on the occasion of
the Jubilee of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel),
attended by the Hon. Colonel Bouverie and the Hon. Colonel
Grey, was pleased to visit the northern schools of the royal
parish of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, recently erected with the
aid of her Majesty and the Prince. The number of children
in attendance at the schools was 350; and, after seeing them
arranged in their several school-rooms, his Royal Highness
proceeded to the covered play-ground on the roof, where 120
clothed children of the parochial schools, and about 400 of
the old national schools were assembled, and by his Royal
Highness's permission, welcomed their illustrious visitor with
a song. His Royal Highness was pleased to enter his name
in the visitors' book as a permanent record of his visit. The
vicar and clergy, with the churchwardens and school com-
mittees, were in attendance.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
M. LEMULLIER, who wat accused in the celebrated
Memorandum of M. CART ax of having procured a
situation for M. LACORDAIRE, as director of
the Gobelin's manufacbry, and shared his
salary, has presented himself to the Pro-
cureur of the Republic and demanded a judicial in-
quiry. His request was granted, and the inquiry
commenced. It is said that the slight majority
inquiry was only obtained
M. CARLIER that he was in
possession
of information relating to certain say-
hagyaialossitgnaifiPoa Parliamentary etnftarormy
say-
ings and doings of General CHANGARNIER
and the other members of the party which in the
event of a Parliamentary inquiry, it would become
necessary to make public. M. THIERS, M. JULES DE
LASTEYRIE, and General CIIkNGARNIER voted with
the Government against inquiry, and General
D'HAUTPOUL and M. LEMILLIER abstained from
voting.
The Palrie announces that the differences between
France and the Sandwich Islands have been
arranged.
The Committee on the revision yesterday held its
third sitting. M. DE CORCELLES said the proposition
of General CAVAIGNAC, that the question between a
Republic or a Monarchy should be first decided on,
was inadmissible. It was in his opinion a kind of
defiance thrown out. He had, he said, accepted the
Republic in good faith, but he Vould not declare that
it was his creed. M. CHARAAAULE considered that

M. Duroux said that, as the recision offered a chance
of averting the dangers of 185 S it ought to be voted,
sovheardeigantryighitn
to its
choose widestaa it was the duty of the Assembly not to neglect any
means which might tend to the safety of the country.
General CAVAIGNAC repeated the opinion which he
had before expressed. He said le had never invented
the words "divine right" as applied to the Republic.
The party of order, as it was called, in his opinion
only sought for the means of musing anarchy. M.
BERRYER repeated his former arguments in favour of
a total revision. If the form of Government were
not changed, Art. 45 must be maintained. M.
CHARRAS could not conceive why so many words
should be thrown away on the 'ubject. The Consti-
tuent Assembly would have no other rights than those
defined in the Constitution, and within the limits of
the wish expressed by the Legislative Power. M.
MOULIN said that the Committee had not to come to
any resolution on the Constitution itself ; it was uni-
versally admitted to be defectite, and that it must be
revised.
The Committee on the Bill tgainst clubs met yes-
terday, and instructed M. Jtmss DE LASTEYRIE to
draw up a report in favour of the Bill.
Messrs. Bounzir, Durostr (de Bassac), and
seven other Members of the Mountain, have laid be-
fore the Assembly a proposition for a negotiation to
be opened with the Holy See, for the suppression of
eighteen of the thirty diocesan or metropolitan sees,
established in execution of the law of July 4, 1821.
The Journal de l' Oise announces that the PRE-
SIDENT of the Republic has accepted the invitation
of the Municipality of Beauvais, to be present at the
inauguration of the statue of grEANNE HACHETTE, on
the 6th of July.
There were several fluctuatiozs observed in the price

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 10,000 bales; of which 1,000 American were
taken for export, and 1,000 on speculation. The sales
comprised 7,000 American and 300 Pernam and Maran-
ham, at bid. to 71d.; 150 Bahia, at bid. to qd.; 700
Egyptian, at 6}d. 9id.; and 2,000 Surat, at 3id. to
4id. per lb. The market closed very firmly with prices
of American id. and Surat id. per lb. higher.—The
market for Railway Shares closed extremely heavy at
the lowest prices of the day.
From the Circular of Messrs. Schrcnder and Mummy,
dated Now Orleans, May 24th, and published by Mr.
James Irvine, of Liverpool, we extract the following re-
lative to the Cotton•market:—" Since our Circular of
the 10th inst. our Cotton market has been in a state of
great fluctuation, during the first week the sales reach-
ing 28,000 bales, at a rate establishing a decline of ic. to
ie. per lb. on the lower grades. The telegraphic dis-
patches, received early this week, per Franklin, from_
Havre, imparted more firmness to holders, and the sales
made were at gradually improving rates for a day or
two. When the arrival of the Africa from Liverpool
was announced, with dates to the 10th inst., her advices
checked the ameliorated spirit of operations—the market
relapsed into dulness, but the transactions since show
that the improvement previously gained has not been en-
tirely overcome. For all descriptions, from even run-
ning strictly middling upwards, the currency has not
deviated materially at any time, and is now the same as
the Africa's news found it. Our receipts at all the ports
have continued in the aggregate on the increase, the ex-
cess being now 281,815 bales; this figure it is believed
will be diminished progressively hereafter, but too late,
we apprehend, to effect seriously the European market
for the better; and while we incline to the opinion that
our own markets will hereafter, for this season, main-
tain themselves nearly, any positively untoward news
from your side may thwart present prospects in this
particular. For the time being, however, the decline in
freights tend to strengthen prices, and induce buyers to
enter the market. The weather is warm, and favourable
to the young plant, which has been spared by the cold
weather and frosts. Ordinary, 7te. to 74c.; good ordi-
nary, Bc. to Sic.; middling, Sic. to 9c.; good middling,
91c. to 9ic.; middling fair, 9,ic. to 10e.; fair, 11c. to
1 lic. Sales during the last fortnight, 52,600 bales.
Receipts at this port since Ist of September, 914,798
bales, against 763,371 bales last year. Increase of re-
ceipts at all the ports up to latest dates, 281,815 bales."
Late yesterday afternoon the letters and papers by
the steamer Baltic from the United States were deli-
vered. The New York commercial reports state that
"the activity of the spring season has passed away, but
enough demand remains to keep the market from list-
lessness. Some few goods are shipping, and the clothiers
are buying to a moderate extent. Brown sheetings and
ahirtings have been in some request for export, but with
a very heavy stock prices are not firm. Bleached goods
are in a very limited demand, and are heavy. Brown
drills at Sic., have been exported to a small extent, but
blues and bleached are quiet, and all are heavy. Osna-
burghs are quiet and prices drooping. Denims are
in better request at fair prices, considering the large
sales effected at auction within a short period.
" Stripes are dull and heavy; ticks are being pressed
on the market not to the improvement of prices. Cotton
flannels are without animation. Printing cloths are in-
active; holders are anxious to sell, but dealers are hold-
ing back for lower prices; at Providence prices have re-
ceded one-eighth, and the market closing unsettled.
Prints have been very dull, the season being over.
Ginghams are quiet but steady. Lawns show consider-
able activity, and aro very firm. Cotton pantaloonery
is offered freely on the market, but without effect; prices
are heavy. Delaines are inactive. Cloths are in request
for the clothing trade to a small extent; the selections
made are for the fall trade; prices are more steadily for
these goods than for spring and summer styles of goods.
Cassimeres are dull. Satinets are without material de-
mand, and prices are heavy. Linseys are in better de-
mand, but prices are not buoyant. Sheep's greys are
firm but quiet. Jeans and tweeds are inactive. Flannels
are dull, with a considerable stock. Blankets are firm,
but without active inquiry. In foreign goods the ac-
tivity is confined to lawns and to clothing articles.
Serges are in good inquiry, but the general trade is dull,
and prices are unprofitably low. French goods show
extreme depression. The consumption has been unpre-
cedentedly large. Never in any year previously has
such an enormous mass of French goods been sold; and
though the prices have been ruinously low, the advan-
tage has been great to the numerous consu-
mers. The country has not suffered from it.
There needs no idle lamentations, as individual
losses will not deprive the market of a future supply.
Indeed, this has been the great feature of the spring
trade; great activity, excessive supply, low prices, large
losses, which may, before the year expires, become more
manifest, but with general public gain. We are now
between the spring and fall seasons, and business is con-
fined to staple articles, which are more or less even in
aredemand. The markets generally are falling. All staples
al do The
wool, silk, tobacco, flour, grain, and
provisions. In the autumn we shall have increased
plenty, and at low prices. We may be confident then in
an active business for the fall season, but under circum-
stances that require great prudence, 'foresight, and cal-
culation, to realize a profit. Without great trading tact
and skill individuals run a chance of losing money; but
the great public cannot fail to derive benefit. Plenty
will exist to be diffused, while there is pretty certain
grounds for supposing that means to purchase will be
widely diffused. Bad crops would be the only bane;
but of that present appearances do not favour."
One curious circumstance mentioned in this elaborate
statement is that the French manufacturers have been
forcing off their goods at such enormous sacrifices. In
this respect they appear to act precisely the same as
the French agriculturists, and may have yet to buy
back raw materials at least at a higher value than they
obtained relatively in their late sales.
A notice has been issued by the Committee for pro-
moting the formation of Tribunals of Commerce that
a meeting will be held next Tuesday at Willis's Rooms,
and it is stated regarding the want of such tribunals
that " in view of this fact the Committee for the promo-
tion of Tribunals of Commerce in this country have de-
termined upon the furtherance of a cause confessedly
moat important, agreeing as they do with their Noble
President that it is not enough to say that an opinion
unfavourable to our present mode of adjusting commer-
cial differences prevails, but also that gentlemen who
would reform that mode must express their opinion, other-
wise they cannot hope to see the movement carried to an
effectual conclusion."

TUE SOCIETY or ARTS.—A converzatione of the
members of this interesting society
• took place last evening.
There were some beautiful specimens of various works in
art, embracing almost all its departments, laid before the
assembled visitors. The superb series of enamel portraits of
Cromwell, Bolingbroke, Lord William Russell, Algernon
Sidney, &C., were again exhibited. A fine painting by Lucas
Cranacb, from the collection of the Duke of Lucca, the sub-
ject of which was "Judith bearing the head of Holofernes,"
excited general attention. It is a perkct exemplification of
the mariner in which the portraits of living historical per-
sonages were transmitted to portraits by the German school
of art as ideal creations. Some exquisitely beautiful speci-
mens of Talbotype, contributed by Messrs. Henneman and
Malone, were amongst the most attractive objects exhibited.
The baud of the Royal Artillery was in attendance, and per-
formed selections from 11 Crociato, La Gazza Ladra, and
Lc Domino Noir. Amongst the literary and scientific gen-
tlemen who graced the evening's amusement with their pre-
sence, we recognised Mr. 11. T. Hope, M.P., Sir Win. Ross,
Sir Thomas Wilson, Sir William J. Newton Professor John-
son, and a number of titled and distinguished foreigners.

having recently sent some goods to "the Abode of Love,"
