journed at Seven o'Clock.

Sir ROBERT PEEL, in the House of Commons last
night, made a sort of shuffling announcement that at
some future day he would name a time to proceed
with the Irish Registration Bill. Now, the wily
Baronet in so doing, pledged himself to just nothing
at all; he did not say that he would proceed with the
Bill ; he did not state that he would carry the mea-
sure through ; no such .thing ; he contended himself
by saying, that at some future time he would an-
nounce when he would give notice of his intention to
go on with the Bill. Ile may give that notice, he,
may declare his intention ; but we believe, and nothing
but proof to the contrary will remove that belief,
that the Irish Registration Bill is abandoned. We
stated this two days ago, and we adhere to it. No
promised notice of Sir ROBERT PEEL, nor any notice
even when, given, will alter this impression. We
know that the Bill cannot be carried ; but we do
not think that the Premier intends to try to carry it.
He had quite enough of. the Irish, Arms Bill last
session ; he will not venture his chance again upon an
Irish Registration. Bill, when he has neither an Irish
nor an English law officer in the House able to explain
its enactments.

The legality or the illegality of Art-Unions is a
matter which will very deeply interest a large body
of the English people. Established now for nearly
eight years, these unions have gone on increasing in
amount, in number, and in consequent utility. A
taste for the arts has been fostered, and cultivated—.
to the benefit of the people and the encouragement of
artists. The legality of the societies has sometimes
been denied, but the first lawyers of the day have as-
serted them to be legal. Cabinet Ministers, Chan-
cellors, and the highest legal functionaries, have sub-
scribed to them, and all doubts had been dissipated
either of their propriety or their strict legality. The
drawing of the London Art-Union had been fixed for
Tuesday next, and every preparation made, when all
at once a Government edict is issued, and Art-Unions
are declared to be contrary to law. The societies
which in their infancy were unnoticed, and were not
subjects for suppression, are, when full-grown and in
free exercise of power and strength, declared objects
of the law's hate. The conduct of the Irish Govern-
ment over again—meetings allowed to grow for the
purpose.of putting them down at full maturity. The
Clontarf proclamation brought to bear upon Art-
Unions! ! Why, what ridiculous conduct is here
displayed. The law is unaltered. No change has
been made in that. No new enactment has been
placed on the statute-book. Art-Unions, illegal now,
were always illegal. But Tory legislation is al.
ways the same. No grievance is ever deemed
worthy of redress until it is unbearable—
no nuisance abated, until impossible, longer
to be tolerated—no privilege conceded, until inca-
pable longer to withhold it. And now it seems that
even good is not allowed to be done, when its effects
become apparent, felt, and appreciated by all, save the
would-be monopolists. The same class of gentry,
who attempted to put down the School of Design in
Somerset-house, because it would ruin the monopoly.'
of artists, now seek to stop the unions because.they
i give cheap prints to the public. Monopoly is. the
curse of this country, whether in the print-sellers, who
would make the people pay dear for prints ; or in
landlords who would make people pay dear for corn.
The one is a new exercise of an old principle—the
other a retention of an old abuse. 'But of this, let
the Tories be well convinced—that all such struggles
to retain monopolies are in vain. Art-Unions have
-opened the trade in their way—Anti-Corn-law Unions
will open it in theirs. Will Government declare
them illegal? We dare them to" do it,
and we would advise the Art-Unions. to .disregard
altogether the opinions of any legal officers of the
Crown who declare them. -contrary to law,
and to try the qiiestion with their would-be pro-
secutors. Let :them - remember that the opi-
nion of the Attorney and Solicitor-Generat is only
the opinion of two men, which is opposed by men
equally great and eminent -in their profession. We
assert time perfect legality of Art- Unions, such as the
London. Let Mr. TuEsiona, as his first act and
opinion, if the fact .be so, deny it. Let Mr. FITZROY
KELLY, as . lie has done, affirm the contrary. - Which
is the opinion most to be relied upon ? We know
upon which the odds would; be laid, and what they
are. It is Lombard-street to a China orange.

There, is a naive- simplicity in Mr. ATTWOOD'S
comment on the ''remarkable obliquity " of under-
standing evinced by certain Jews and,lawiere ' which
has as much of biting truth as of quiet sareasn; about
it. " At one period," he says, " they could. see no
depreciation whatever in the paper money of late
war; in the next moment they took a furious,alarm,
'and everything appeared depreciated in their' eyes."
He affects gravely to notice the inconsistency of such
conduct, without once imputing to thern,the in-
fluences under which they distinctly acted, of sordid
and selph avarice. Thus, he observes, whilSt they
were, lending 1,047 millions of pounds sterling to the
Government during.the late, war, they stoutly af-
firmed that their money was NOT depreciated. At the
very moment this lending system came to an end,
and the repayment of their 1,047 millions was to
commence, they turned round upon their victims, and

audaciously called the paper money "worthless rags."
Yet, strange to say, with this very expression—
" worthless rags"—still in their mouths, they re-
fused to make an abatement of even one farthing in
the pound from their fraudulent and swindling claims
upon the nation, and very coolly proceeded, without
the slightest inquiry, to enforce the repayment of
their " murderous bonds" in full and in standard gold.
This is substantially true. As for the landed interest,
the late Lord LIVERPOOL scarcely exaggerated when he
told them that, having, in paper money, about trebled
the value of their property, they must not expect to
keep up such rents in standard gold. Obviously they
could have no reasonable title to exact such rents
under a currency of enhanced value. But surely the
Minister was guilty of an unpardonable weakness,
seeing so clearly, as he did, the loss and ruin which
the Bill of 1819 must entail on a very great body
of their tenantry, t,te content himself with this well-
bred intimation of his hope, instead of devising some
guarantee for the fact. Now, whatever might be his
Lordship's real expectation, the result of the esta-
blishment of the legalised gold standard has been, not
to bring down rents to their natural or gold
level, but to leave the tenant in a statute-rivetted
incapacity to realise profits on his produce, which can
afford rents that are still so little below what they
were in the days of his prosperity and of paper
money. How this fatal legacy of 1819 has operated
in the successive stages of its transmission to land-
lords, (for they, themselves, in innumerable instances,
have been sacrificed lsy it), to tenants, farmers, and
others—and to labourers—Mr. ATTWOOD describes
with great distinctness and force in the fourth para-
graph of his letter. That paragraph abounds with
truths, which, inasmuch as they mark the course and
track of the mischief that has happened, all should
study who would avert the mischief which is yet to
come. If the Legislature cannot be persuaded, in 1844,
to arrest the downward course on which they launched
the monetary career of the country in 1819, we may
expect a crisis more terrible than, under any other
condition of circumstances, that which would ensue
even upon the bankruptcy of the Bank of England.
To decline administering some searching remedy
to admitted disorganisation of the most threatening
character is a weakness, a folly, a tampering, of
which we are unwilling to believe—until we shall
find that plea formally offered—even the Govern-
ment of Sir ROBERT PEEL guilty. If the lapse of
five-and-twenty years is to be accepted as a legitimate
or expedient bar to remedial legislation in such a
matter—for what enormous presumption, reckless-
ness, and guilt must these Parliaments be responsible,
who threw down the Revolution-consecrated "-Test
and Corporation " barriers, which would, else, have
excluded, to this day, all Protestant Dissenters from
the House of Commons ?—who erased, from the
statute book, the penal and civil " disabilities" that
had, in like manner, for upwards of a century closed
the doors of both Houses of Legislature upon all
" Roman Catholic " subjects of the Crown !-who
transported into the " penal colony " of a statute
against roguery (schedule A, in short, of the
Reform Bill), those rotten boroughs which had
all the claims of venerable prescription, and
of occasional practical advantage, in their
favour,—and could not, without equal " inex-
pediency," be dismantled. But the working of the
Currency Bill is too great and palpable a disease in
our social system to be much longer endured. It
demands u mode of treatment which palliatives can
no longer satisfy. 'lt has reached a crisis wherein the
sole choice lies between gradual, but certain removal,
and instant extirpation. Some fearful evidences of
this disease, and of its intensity, we pointed out in
The Sun of Saturday last, in showing the frightful
annual increase of the poor-rate, and the stationary
or retrograding scale upon which wages are now paid
to famishing scores of thousands of our industrial po-
pulation. These demonstrations we will not here re-
peat : but we must remark, in conclusion, that with the
Currency Act still in force, that population cannot hope
to be better paid : manufacturers cannot obtain more
remunerative prices, out of which to raise the scale of
those wages : and that large proportion of the landed
interest which has still to defray the principal or in-
terest of old mortgage encumbrances, and of family
settlement charges, in an artificially enhanced money,
cannot consume manufactures to that which should
be the It gitimate extent of their ample, but paralysed
means. If Ireland has been,—the state of the Currency
will be,—" the greatest difficulty" of the very candid

We learn from. Constantinople that Sir STRATFORD
CANNING and the Baron DE BOURQUENEY, not satis-
fied with the answers to their demands given by the
Turkish Ministers, had requested an interview with
the SULTAN himself, and the request was instantly
complied with. The following is ati account of the
interview, and of the state of affairs in Roumelia and
Albania, as given in the Journal de Constantinople of
the 26th ult. :

" On the 23d his Excellency Sir S. Canning, the English
Ambassador, was admitted to a solemn audience of the Sul-
tan at the Imperial Palace of Top Kapou, where he was
treated with all the marks of the highest distinction.. A
guard of honour, composed of the chief officers of the palace,
received him at the outer entrance into the gardens, and
escorted him to the apartments of his Highness. The
interview was most cordial—the Grand Seignior giving
to the representative of her Britannic Majesty a wel-
come full of frankness and good will, and the senti-
ments interchanged between them cannot but contri-
bute to draw closer the ties
.which unite the Sultan
and her Majesty the Queen of England. His Highness
Abdul Medjid has on this occasion given a new proof of the
noble sentiments of humanity and justice which all the world
take delight in admiring in him, by declaring spontaneously,
and in the most generous and dignified manner, that while.
he reigned he would never permit reli4ious persecution, and
that the Christians shall be treated with every kindness and
a strict observance of equity. On the following day the
Baron de Bourqueney, Minister Plenipotentiary for France,
went to the palace on the express invitati,n of the
Sultan. To him were rendered the same honours as
had been paid to the English Ambassador, and; on being
admitted to the presence of the Sultan, his recep-
tion was most dist►nguished and flattering, the Grand
Seignior giving him . the same assurances as he had
given to Sir Stratford Canning (the English Ambassador).
On the same day there was a meeting of the Council of the
Sublime Ports after the weekly sitting of the Council. The
Ottoman Cabinet continues to be engaged in taking measures
tbr the most energetic and effectual repression of the afflicting
disorders which have lately disturbed several points of Albania
and Roumelia, and which have been committed by bands of
Albanian malefactors, accustomed from time immemorial to
live by violence and plunder. Politics have no connection
whatever with these excesses, but as a lengthened im-
punity or half measures only encourage these brigands,
and increase their number, the Sublime Porte has deter-
mined to use all the means within its power to put a
stop at once to a state of things so adverse to, that good
order and security which a peaceable people ought to
enjoy under a good Government.. To this end an
imposing force has been sent, partly from the capital
partly from the head-quarters of the army in Roumelia
against.the _disturbers of the public repose, and rigid orders
have been sent to the governors and other authorities of the
above-mentioned provinces to second the military power in
purging these countries of the wretches who are disturbing
the tranquillity of the inhabitants, and incessantly compro-
mising their.safety by the most reprehensible excesses. No
doubt is entertained of the efficacy of the means employed,
and we hope that we shall be able to announce in a few
days that the offenders have received exemplary. chastise-
ment, and rendered for a long time incapable of renewing their
atrocities."

The assurances given by the SULTAN to Sir STRAT-
FORD CANNING and M. DE BOURQUENXY, it is said,
were introduced into the text of the answer, which
had been rejected as insufficient ; and that the answer
thus modified was sent to the Ministers and the
Ulemas, with orders to place their seal on it.

Madrid journals of the 10th inst. have been re-
ceived. It would appear from these, as well as from'
private letters, that considerable anxiety, prevailed at;
Madrid relative to the plots of the Carlists. Visible;
symptoms of rebellion had manifested themselves ini
several places, and a report prevailed that a body of
Carlists had taken possession of Morella. General
RONcam was ordered, with all the forces under his'
command, to proceed to the disturbed districts.
TLe Three per Cents. were done on the 10th inst.t;
at 351 cash; 36i at 60 days; and the Fives at 231
at 60 days.

In the French Chasober of Peers on Monday the
Prince DE LA MOSCOWA (son of the unfortunate
Marshal Nay) made a long speech on that inter-
minable subject, the deposition of Queen POMARE.
On the motion for a vote of one million of francs for
secret service" money, he took a review of the policy
pursued by the Government, and of course did not
omit the resolution come to by the Cabinet, by which
the QUEEN was restored to her former position, and
the brave Admiral DUPETIT THOUARS re-called.
This he condemned in strong terms, and after a
similar speech from M. DE LA REDORTE, the Minister
of Instruction (M. ILLEMAIN) spoke in de-
fence of the Government, when the debate
was adjourned. From all accounts, it was a
very heavy affair, and it is needless to advert
to it any further than by giving the following brief
and pithy arguments from the Journal des Debats in
favour of the policy adopted by the Cabinet :—" In
our quality of conscientious chroniclers," it states;
" we are obliged to declare that the long speeches of
Prince DE LA MOSCOWA and Count MATHIEU DE LA
REDORTE do not appear to us to change the state ce
the question. The point still to be ascertained is
whether Admiral DUPETIT THOUARS had a right to
pronounce the confiscation and deposition of Queen
POMARE, in order to punish her for having displayed

tectorate, transformed somewhat abruptly into
a taking of possession by our Admiral, in
a moment of impatience sand ill-humour. As
to our rights, the protectorate assures to us all that
we have seriously any interest -in holding ; as to our
flag, it floats and will continue to float over Otaheite; as
to Queen POMARE, it does riot appear absolutely neces-
sary that she .should come and die wretchedly in France ;
and as to Consul PRITCHARD and the English mis-
sionaries, as
.their Government has acknowledged our
protectorate, they will be obliged to recognise it too.
That is the whole affair, at least for those who 11 rm
their judgment of it by itself. Is it, on the
contrary, a subject of rupture with England that is
sought for, and a pretext to excite the seamen of-
the two countries to a disastrous colliion ? That
is another matter. The question then grows extensive.
Treaties of July 15 can be produced everywhere, and
on any occasion. France knows what that of 1840
cost her, and the Chambers have not, without doubt,
forgotten it. The Count DE GABRIAC replied in a few
precise and clear words to Prince DE LA Moscowa's
speech ; and an animated reply from M. VILLEMAIN to
COMA MATHIEU DE LA REDORTE terminated the sitting.
Frankly, M. VILLEMAIN'S remarks came very oppor-
tunely to indemnify us a little for this long and heavy
discussion. They do not listen enough in the Cham-
ber of Deputies, and too- much in the Peers." The
debate was resumed on Tuesday, when vio-
lent attacks were made by opposition Peers
on the Government, but up to the hour
of post M. GUIZOT had not replied.. In the
Chamber of Deputies, M. BILLAULT brought the
same subject forward, and called upon the Go-
vernment to fix a day for the discussion. N. CUMIN
GRIDAINE said the Government were anxious to
answer all questions, and he should, therefore, move
that Friday be fixed, calling the attention of the
Chamber to the question. - " This," says the Journal
des Debats, "is to be the finishing

iee on Friday: There have been now, if we reckon
them all up, six or seven times attempts during the
session, on the part of the Opposition of all shades of
colour, to crush the Cabinet ; and yet the Cabinet is
still standing, and we can assure the Opposition that
it waits for this new attack with the utmost. confi-
dence. The Opposition thinks itself strong and
well armed in this affair of Otaheite; but there is
something stronger than the eloquence of Messrs.
THIERS, BERRTER, BARROT, BILLAULT, Ducos,
and Cuasiumex ; there is something more effec-
tive than all their declamation—it is the declara-
tion, which has not been changed since it was so-
lemnly judged by the Chamber. The report of Ad-
miral DUPETIT THOUARS has arrived, and is in the
hands of the Opposition.; but, do what it will, it will
not find what it seeks—an arm against the Cabinet.
We defy them, to it. The question is now what it
was two months back, when a majority of forty-five
votes decided that the conduct of the Cabinet allowed
no room for cavil, and, in our opinion, that is the
whole affair. Intrigue may, therefore, display its
manmuvres and open its batteries. We shall see what
will be the result." According to some journals, At
Tams, and his heterogeneous body of supporters,
will be satisfied with nothing less than the impeach-
ment of the " foreigner," M. Gums'. ,

We would earnestly recommend all those who may
still entertain doubts as to whether or not the Anti-

Corn-law League is a "great fact," to attend one o
the weekly meetings of that national confederacy, and
jndge for themselves of the extent of its moral influ-
ence, instead of taking their notions second-hand from
others. Let them attend at Covent-garden but once;
let them exercise but ordinary faculties of observa-
tion ; and most assuredly they will come away with
the impression that the League is not only " a great
fact," but incomparably the greatest that this age, so
fertile in movements of all kinds, can exhibit. It is
not that they will be struck with the bustle—the vi-
vacity—the entertaining character of the proceedings ;
they will find no brilliant fashionable audience to delight
their powers of vision ;they will hear no clap-trap, or.
namental appeals to the mere passions, neat, clever so-
phiitry calculated to bewilder, while it amuses, the
fancy—they will see and hear nothing of this sort;
but, what is far more impressive—far surer to leave an
indelible impression on the mind—they will see a
crowded assembly, calm, earnest, thoughtful, and in
dicating by its demeanour the intensity of its interest
in the cause which it has met to forward ; and they
will hear strong, persuasive, practical reasoning, that
goes, straight as the crow flies, to its mark, and
that defies all the jugglery of the expertest saphist
—even of Sir ROBERT PEEL himself—to con-
trovert. When a popular body is really in earnest,
it has neither leisure nor inclination to resort to
tricky, superficial, common-place expedients in order
to pack an audience ; and accordingly the League
trusts to the justice of its cause—and this only—to
obtain hearers and ensure attention. And its confi-
dence is not thrown away. Week after week the
number of its proselytes increases; and those who on
Wednesday witnessed its proceedings, who heard the
subdued hum of heartfelt approbation given to the
clinching arguments of its speakers, and the stern,
indignant bursts of scorn that arose from the au-
dience, as from one man, when the selfish sophistries
of the Monopolists were exposed ;—those, we say,
who heard all this, must have been hopelessly
prejudiced indeed, if they did not leave 'Covent-
garden with the impression that the Anti-Corn-law
League is as._" great a fact," as the circumstance of
the Duke of. RICHMOND being a Tory is a small
one. The League a " great fact !". Aye, verily is it,
and the greatest, the most triumphant of facts—a
fact destined, ere the world is two years older, to
shake the rotten fabric of Monopoly to its centre—a
fact destined to re-model the whole commercial system
of the country—a fact destined to scatter far aad
wide the blessings of intelligence, happineas, and
prosperit/—a fact destined to raise the moral and in-
tellectual character of the vast masses of our working
population—a fact destined to make its influence
felt at the remotest regions of the earth —a fact des-
tined to bind adverse and distant nations together in'
the bonds of one common brotherhood ;—in a word, a
fact destined to supply the one great want of the age„
and leave posterity its debtor to remotest genera-
tions ! So surely as the handwriting on the wail pre-
figured the fall of Babylon, do the weekly meetings of
the Anti-Corn-law League indicate the fast approach-
ing doom of Monopoly. Vain, henceforth, is all the
opposition that may be made, whether within or with-
out the walls of Parliament, to this mighty national
movement. The strong propelling impulse is given—
the irrevocable determination is made—the fie t, which
may not be disputed, is gone forth—and the w hole false
system of Protection must, ere long, come d own with
a crash on the heads of those who support it. Oa
the exertions of no one public-spirited indivqdual does
the League now depend for success. The days of its
comparative weakness are passed ; and were Mr.
COBDEN—which may Heaven, in its mercy, forbid !
to be removed from the stage of life to-n aotrow ; were
even the entire Council to be .cut off by- the scythe of

between the English sailors and the French soldiers, but
adds, that the French and English officers lived in per-,
feet harmony. The French were bumly engaged in for-
tifying Papeiti, and were already at work upon five
batteries and a fortress. The Governor had taken possession
of the house of Queen romare as a palace for himself, and the
Queen was residing with Mr. Pritchard. An extensive fire
took place on the 26th of November. It destroyed the ware-
house of four French merchants, and caused a collective loss
of 150,000 fr.. The writer of this letter states that the popu-
lation of Papeiti amounts to -6,300, viz., 3,500 natives, 800
guropean, residents, including the garrison, and 2,000 of the
shifting population of sailors and others in the port."
