THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, APRIL 17, 1835.

proposed by the Opposition. That these amendments
would be negatived by the Chamber, was regarded as
a moral certainty, so that in point of fact the Bill may
be looked upon as already passed.
On the 12th inst. Lord COWLEY had a private
audience of the KING, previous to his departure for
London. It is reported that he presented his official
letters of recal, and informed his MAJESTY that he
would be succeeded as British Ambassador at Paris
by Lord GRANVILLE. The Constitutionnel states
that Lord COWLEY informed Louis PHILIPPE, that
henceforth the Duke of WELLINGTON intended re-
maining out of office, and that Iris Grace proposed, by
placing himself more at the head of the army, to resist
for the time to come all encroachments on the privileges
of the aristocracy by the Radical party, both within
and without the House of Commons. .As Lord
GRANVILLE belongs to the Conservative-Whig party,
his presence in Paris is reported to be most accept-
able to the KING, who, in his heart, hates whatever
threatens to restrict his power.
The Moniteur of VI-edricsd,iy contained a compara-
..

tive view of the produce of the indirect taxes for the
first three months of 1833, 1834, and 1835. In the
first quarter of 1835, the receipt has exceeded that of
1834 by 6,508,000 francs, and that of 1833 by
7,340,000 francs.

-The Journal du Havre says, " that the steam-boat
Havre, which was expected from Hamburg, had been
detained at that port, to take on board Marshal
MAISON and his suite."

The French Journals bring intelligence ft om Bayonne
to the 10th inst., which is in part corroborated by pri-
vate letters to the 12th, just received. On the morning
of the 11th, Lord ELLIOT received official despatches,
and a safe conduct, from General MINA for himself
and his suite. His Lordship now only awaits the
answers to his despatches to Don CARLOS, before set-
ting out on his mission to the head-quarters of the con-
tending armies in company with Colonel GURWOOD.
Robberies are increasing to an alarming extent in
Spain. The robbers.go in bands, entering the houses
of the peaceable inhabitants at noon-day, and pillaging
them of whatever valuables they contain. All the
more respectable and opulent people are removing in
the direction of the capital, to escape the depredations
of these marauders, who indulge in the commission of
the most licentious practices to the great terror of the
unprotected.

Since writing the above, we have received the Paris
evening papers, dated yesterday, with a report of the
proceedings in the Chamber of Deputies on Wednes-
day, on going into committee on the American Indem-
nity Bill. The reporter of the committee, M. DUDION,
having concluded the reading of the general report on
the Bill, the President, after reading the first article, stated
that two amendments had been proposed upon it. The
first of these amendments was by M.B GNON, to the effect
that the Chamber would grant 12,000,000 of francs to
the Minister of Finance, to enable the Government of
France to enter into another negociation with the Go-
vernment of the United States, respecting the claims
now at issue between them. The object of this amend.
ment was to get rid of the debt altogether, by showing
that France only sought to defend herself in the con-
flicts between the respective flags on the high seas.
The other amendment was by M. DES ABE, resolving
that the further consideration of the Bill ought to be
postponed till the next session of the Chamber, and that
in the mean time, all the documents on the subject
should be printed, for the more correct information df
of the Deputies. The amendments were strongly
opposed, and although the Journals just received do
not bring us the conclusion of the debate, we are per-
suaded they were both rejected by very large majorities.
Indeed we .are surprised that they found a single
supporter.

We have received German papers of the latest
dates, in which we find copies of the addresses of the
two legislative Chambers of Baden to the Grand
Duke, in answer to his speech on opening the session,
together with his Royal Highness's answers. The
Deputies, after thanking the Duke for some local re-
ferences in his Message to them, express their deep
regret that any misunderstanding should have arisen
between the Government of that State and the
Swiss confederacy, and add that they are persuaded
nothing will be omitted on the part of his Royal
Highness to promote the renewal of a friendly inter-
course between them. They further approve of the
part taken by the Executive Government respecting
the German Commercial Union Tariff, with some other
matters of the same kind, which are of no interest to
an English
reader. The Duke's answers to the ad-
dresses were couched in the most courtly language of
approbation and pleasure. He assured the Chambers
that he would co-operate with them in their patriotic
labours, and that he rejoiced to find their sentiments
in perfect unison with his own. We believe that on
this occasion the Grand Duke sacrificed his sincerity
to his politeness. No man more dreads and detests
the movement that is now going on in the moral and
political world than the reigning Sovereign of Baden,
and no person better understands the progress which
it is making in the Duchy of which he is the ruler.
But the Grand Duke has sagacity enough to
observe that active resistance, except on pretence of
protecting his Government against enemies from with-
out, would be madness, and that the best course he
can adopt for checking liberal sentiments is by seem-
ingly to encourage them. His ulterior schemes will
appear at no distant period.

FRANKFORT, APRIL 10.—Government Exchange on London,
149i.—FraWor t Papers, April 11.

The Protest of Sir F. PALGRAVE, one of the Com-
missioners appointed to inquire into the Municipal
Corporations of England and Wales, against the Ito-
port made by his colleagues, will be found in another
part of this paper. We scarcely know whether the
spirit of justice which induces us to insert this docu-
ment will be considered by our readers as a sufficient
reason for thus filling our columns. After reading
this Protest with attention, we cannot perceive that
Sir F. PALGRAVE has adduced sufficient grounds, or
proved any necessity, for resorting to so serious
a species of remonstrance. Many parts of his
Protest appear to us to be mere quibbles, which
will be much more likely to establish his repu-
tation as the advocate of close Corporations than as
the champion of truth and candour. It is somewhat
singular that Sir F. PALGRAVE should, out of twenty
Commissioners, be the only dissentient from the Report,
and that circumstance, added to the nature of his ob-
jections, will not discourage the idea that the Protest is
got up for the purpose of counteracting the effect of
the Report. For instance, Sir FRANCIS gives it as

his opinion that popular suffrage is no check upon
incompetency, corruption, jobbing, or despotism of
the ruling body"—" that municipal suffrage must not
be surrendered to the people as a right which they
are entitled to demand, but treated as a free gift be-
stowed upon them out of a spirit of conciliation' !
Such doctrines require no comment, and are quite
sufficient to show the bias of the individual who pro-
mulgates them. As an instance of the nature of the
objections made by Sir F. PALGRAVE to the conclu-
sions of the Report, we may adduce his Protest against
receiving the opinions of the witnesses, respecting the
unpopularity of the Municipal Corporations, as any
evidence of the sentiments of the inhabitants at large,
and his gravely proposing to arrive at that informa-
tion, by means of a general declaration book at the
Guildhall, and of sending " round from house to
house, to collect-the contents and non-contents"! I

Our readers will perceive from our report of the
Middlesex Magistrates' meeting, that the investigation
into the expenditure of the County Rates of Middlesex,
wl.lir,ll the Vestry of St. George, Hanover-square, has
for some time been in-suirz, produced yesterday a
most important result to the various parishes in t!i:s
county, as the rate of one penny, or 21,9971., which
has usually been made at this period of the year, was
reduced to a. rate of one half-penny, or 10,9981.
A reply to the Vestry of St. George's report on the
extravagant expenditure at the County Lunatic Asy-
lum was read, but not adopted by the Magistrates in
Quarter Session, but by them ordered to be printed
for the use of the Magistrates, and to be considered at
the county day of the next General Quarter Session in
July next.

We regret this delay, because we had hoped that
the direct charges brought by the Vestry of St. George's,
as to the illegality of the proceedings of the Visiting
Justices of the Lunatic Asylum, would at once have
been either refuted, or an immediate expression made of
their intention to alter their course, and rectify, as far
as possible, the alleged mistakes they are charged with
having committed.
Another important point has also been gained, inas-
much as the estimated expenditure of the County is
ordered to be sent, with the order for the payment of
the rate, to each parish officer.

The horrors committed by MINA are a disgrace to
civilization, and every government tolerating them becomes a
party to them, and incurs the responsibility of these ferocious
acts.—Journal do la Haye.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, APRIL 15.
Our Market has been very bustling to-day. Speculators have
been active, and a further advance is booked as certain. Since
Friday last prices may be quoted ;id. higher. With the ex-
ception of 150 bags Pernambuco, which brought 14/d., and a
small parcel of New' Orleans, for which 140. was obtained,
the sales consisted exclusively of American, 91d. and 11 id.
CONVICTS IN NEW SOUTH WALES.--The Lon-
don pickpockets are considered to make the best shepherds in
the colony, as it suits their naturally idle habits ; the indus-
trious labourer cannot endure the very wearisome and lazy
employment of looking after sheep.

The cause of the poor oppressed factory child still
congregates the humane of all parties on the ground of Chris.
tian effort. Another meeting on the subject, was held at Hud-
dersfield, on Friday. In proportion to the magnitude of the
evil must be the zeal and the perseverance of those who seek to
reforni it. These we are convinced will not be wanting, and
ultimately that Providence which owned and crowned with
success the labourers in the cause of \Vest-Indian emancipa-
tion, will smile upon this, its twin work of mercy, and bring
down the blessings of them who were ready to perish, upon the
heads of those who have been instrumental in rescuing them
from their mental debasement and their physical and moral
thraldom. York Courant.

ADVICE TO LADIES SEEKING HUSBANDS.—
If your lover is cold, proud, selfish, arid fancies himself
learned, and you like him, let him talk his talking, and don't
be familiar, or laugh at him—he may make a good husband
though he is a stupid lover. If your intended be sensitive,
refined, and intellectual, be a vestal in your deportment, and
keep yourself sacred from the touch and conversation of other
men ; if he is gay and a man of the world, never inquire as to
his out-goings; and if he is a parson, listen to no old maid's
story, nor inquire among the females of his flock, as to his
amatory propensities. In fine, conceal your natural character,
blind yourself to the faults of your admirer, and take him as
he is, if you can catch him.—Old Maids.
A WHITE LARK.—A very fine specimen of the
alunda vulgaris or common sky lark, was shot at Chorlton on
Tuesday last. It is of a dun white colour all over, with a very
slight tinge of brown in the middle of the back. This variety
is common enough in Denmark, Sweden, and the countries on
the northern shore of the Baltic, bnt has never before (that
we have heard of) been found in England.—Chester Chron.

KINGSTON CAVERN.--Through the indefatigable
exertions of the proprietor of this wonderful cave two lately-
discovered apartments are ready to untold their stupendous mag-
nificence to the wonder-loving visitor. About one month
since as Roger German was traversing that part of the cavern
called " The Seotchman's Cave," he perceived a fissure,
through which, ascending by five or six steps, another splendid
apartment, to which he has given the name of " O'Leary's
Cave," opened on his astonished vision. The cave extends
over an area of at least four acres, decorated with columns,
galleries, stalactites, stalagmites, and substances of a more
brilliant description than any hitherto discovered in this stu-
pendous cavern. The other newly-discovered cave lies imme-
diately over the river, and equals O'Leary's Cave in the splen-
dour of its crystallized ornaments, to which the proprietor has
forborne to give a name, reserving that honour for the first
person who shall visit it.— Tipperary Free Press.
