LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27, 1844.

measure M. GUIZOT has proposed—and his reforms 1
are not few—has been triumphantly carried through
both Chambers. He has defeated every opposition to
his policy, he has also carried with him the almost
universal voice of his country ; while Sir ROBERT
PEEL can carry nothing, can do nothing, and
remains like the ass between two loads of hay.
A Ministry like this cannot last. The English are
an active people. They will go a-head, and cast off
allegiance to a Government which seems determined
to stand still, and, what is of more importance, has
no fixed principles of action. One part of the
Cabinet is hostile to the other. STANLEY, and
RIPON, and GRAHAM, thwart PEEL in all his move-
ments ; and the Prime Minister of England, at the
present moment, is possibly the roost helpless being
in the United Kingdom. The Whigs did something
—they introduced and carried many useful mea-
sures ; they unfortunately forgot the interests of their
best supporters ; but, after all, they were an active,
stirring race ; they kept the public mind alive to
questions of great national importance, and were
only deterred by the House of Lords from doing
justice to the country. What has Sir ROBERT PEEL,
with both Houses at his back, done ? He has reduced
the duty on pickles, and corned beef, and live bullocks,
and every grievance of which the country complains
is yet to be redressed !

In the House of Lords the Ecclesiastical Courts
Bill went through Committee, and the report was
ordered to be brought up on Thursday.
The House adjourned at Nine o'Clock.
_ _ _

In the louse of Commons the Earl of MARCH
moved the second reading of the Brighton and Chi-
chester Railway Bill. Colonel WYNDHAM and the
Earl of ARUNDEL opposed the motion. A division
took place, when the second reading was carried by
a majority of 51.
The Stratford and Thames Junction Railway Bill,
the Cym Celyn and Blaina Iron Company Bill, and
the Colchester and Harwich Railway Bill, were read
a second time.
On the motionthat the London and South-Western
Railway Bill be read a second time, Mr. WALLACE
objected to several clauses of the Bill, as they en-
abled the Company to act as wharfingers, custom-
house-agents, steam-boat proprietors, and in several
tither capaoitios inconsistent with their duty nq rnil-
'ay proprietors.

Mr. LABOUCHERE thought the objection of Mr.
'WALLACE was well founded, but it might be taken
into consideration on bringing up the Report. Mr.
GLADSTONE concurred with the Hon. Member, and
the Bill was read a second time.

ment, and, probably, will be resisted for a session or
two, but it must be ultimately carried, if the facts
stated by certain of the journals be correct. From these
it would appear that the Government duty far exceeds
the amount received by the proprietors. The National
gives the following statement on the subject :—" The
tax is levied on the gross receipt, and not on the net
revenue of a journal. Thus each subscriber of the
Debats pays 364 f. a year, and of all the other papers
33f. a year. So that taking the whole revenue of
the Debats to be 1,200,000 f., the State receives
550,000 f., or nearly one-half ; and admitting the
whole receipt of the Siecle, a low-priced and widely-
circulated paper, to be 1,500,000 f., the State receives
I,loo,ooo—more than two-thirds. It shows that out
of the 80f. yearly subscription, the Debuts has only
43f. to pay for paper, printing, editing, interest of
capital, &c., while the Siecle, whose annual subscrip-
tion amounts to 48f., retains only 15f. 15c. to pay the
whole outlay of its administration." This includes
the charge made at the post-office, which amounts to
about 15f. a year, for each copy. The discussion
is looked forward to with much interest, and as
the motion will be supported by the public
voice, it is probable the Chamber of De-
puties will turn upon their leaders, and imi-
tate our JACK CADE system of legislation. In a
former Number we stated that a number of soldiers,
belonging to the garrison of Paris, had been trans-
ported to Algiers for certain acts of insubordination.
A provincial paper thus describes the treatment to
which they were subjected in passing through the
country :—" Several parties of soldiers belonging to
the garrison of Paris, and who are sent to the dis-
ciplined battalions of Algeria, for having been im-
plicated in a pretended military conspiracy, have
passed through Chalons in wagons, covered in such
a way as to prevent their being seen. They are
made to travel by double stages, and to sleep in the
prisons, all communication with them being pro-
hibited."

Never was there a more extraordinary :spectacle
than the House of Commons presents at this moment
as regards the Factory Bill. The Genius of inextri-
cable confusion pervades it. No Whig knows where
to look for a brother Whig—no Tory for a brother
Tory. The opponents of Government sit on the
Treasury benches—and not a few of their supporters
on that bleak, inhospitable side of the House where
" loaves and fishes" are phenomena often heard of,
but never met with. The effect produced on the
spectator by this strange confounding of parties is the
most startling and grotesque it is possible to con-
ceive. He sees a Member rise just behind Sir
JAMES GRAHAM, and within a couple of inches of
the Premier's coat-skirts, for the express purpose
of denouncing the conduct of these two unhappy
Baronets ; and 10, before he has time to recover his
astonishment at this open act of mutiny, he sees
another Member rise from the Opposition side, and de-
fend the Government with a spirit and earnestness beau-
tifully inconsistent with his locality! As artists would
say, there is no keeping—no harmony in the House
on this question of the Factory Bill. The lights and
shades are all inextricably commingled. Where you
look for one particular effect of colouring, you find
another. If a gentleman would wish to get a notion
of what " Chaos" must have been before the
spirit of proportion moved over the face of
the universe, we would advise him by all
means to go down to the House of Commons on
Friday next, when, thanks to Sir JAMES GRAHAM, he
will stand a fair chance of seeing the "rudis indiges-
taque moles" of OVID very fairly and picturesquely
exemplified. As for the theatres, they will of course
be all deserted on this great night, for who would
pay to see a farce represented at the Haymarket or
elsewhere, when he can see gratis a much richer
farce enacted on the floor of St. Stephens ? But
we have no heart to continue this light vein, for the
thoughts of poor Sir JAMES GRAHAM'S dilemma
have just flashed across our recollection, and filled
our bosom with dismay. The situation of this un-
lucky Baronet—who seems to be a born-genius for
blunder—is indeed most pitiable; and he must have
a harder heart than we can boast of, who can con-
template it without emotion. No position that we
know of can be compared to it, except that of
" 80-Peep," in the nursery-tale, who, it may be re-
membered,

The Three per Cents. were quoted on Sunday
at 83f. 15c.

LICENSED VICTUALLERS AND BEER-SELLERS.—Ac-
cording to a return made to the House of Commons the
total number of licensed victuallers in England and
Wales is 57,698, in Scotland 15,449, and in Ireland
12,926. Those licensed to sell beer for the whole of
England to be drunk on the premises amount to 31,227,
while the number licensed to sell beer not to be drunk
on the premises is only 4,252. In the United Kingdom,
during the year ending October, 1843, the total quantity
of malt consumed by brewers was 17,719,938 bushels,
by victuallers 7,651,603, and by persons licensed to sell
beer 3,158,860. The amount consumed in Scotland was
831,219 bushels, and in Ireland 1,010,054.
ARTISTS' GENERAL BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION.—
The anniversary dinner of this charitable institution is
announced to take place at the Freemasons' Tavern,
on Saturday next, the 30th inst., and as the objects
which this Charity has in view are of the most liberal
and praiseworthy character, we feel that we need only
allude to the fact, to insure a full attendance of the pa-
trons of Art at its anniversary dinner.

LATER from the UNITED STATES
LIVERPOOL, MONDAY Noox.

The New York packet-ship, Patrick Henry, Captain
Delano, arrived here this day, after an excellent voyage
of eighteen-and-a-half days from New York, which port
she left on the 6th instant, and brings papers of that date.
The wind blowing fresh, she came up without being
telegraphed, and we are indebted to Captain Delano for
sending our papers ashore immediately. The news by
this arrival is not important.
Business in New York was dull. The Cotton market
had further declined, and the disposition manifested to
sell would, it was feared, lead to prices going down still
lower.

" Lost his sheep,
And could'nt tell where to find them."
Sir JAMES GRAHAM, too, has "lost his sheep," and,
we fear we must add, that he " cannot tell where to
find them." In vain he waits to hear their fond and
faithful bleat from the benches immediately behind
him ; one half of the flock has bolted, and the other
half respond by nothing but a low, sulky,
" baa," which carries anything but encouragement to
the heart of their shepherd. But this is not the Ba-
ronet's worst grievance. He finds supporters start-
ing up amor►g the ranks of his enemies—the Whig
lion lying down with the Tory lamb ; and these
are the only phenomena wanting to complete his
stupefaction, and wholly deprive him of that self-
possession and intelligence with which PROVIDENCE—
no doubt for wise purposes—has somewhat sparingly
endowed him. Poor Sir JAMES! No wonder his
feelings get the better of his judgment, and induce
him to couple Whig and Tory opponents together in
the same category, and represent them as being
neither more nor less than so many " JACK
CADES." " JACK CADES !" The term is a strik-
ing one, and calls forth many pregnant histo-
rical recollections. JACK—or Mr. CADE, as Sir R.
PEEL decorously calls him—was, it may be remem-
bered, a decided leveller, and among other little pe-
culiarities, he strenuously advocated the expediency
of cutting off the heads of the official authorities.
Now had JACK lived in these days, he would
have been the first to " turn his back"—like
Lord CASTLEREAGH—On his own doctrine, for
a three years' experience of a PEEL Administra-
tion would have gone far to convince him
that the process of decapitation would- be a super-
fluous one, inasmuch as our " official authorities"
have no heads to cut off! Sir JAMES GRAHAM'S
allusion to " JACK CADE" is, therefore, a most
infelicitous one, for it immediately suggests
a train of reflection to the reader by no
means favourable to the sagacity of the present
Government. It is a curious, and most diverting
circumstance, connected with last night's debate, that
the instant the reference to " JACK CADE" escaped
Sir JAMES GRAHAM, it was received with a storm
of indignation by all parties. Mr. FERRAND boiled over
with passion, like an old maid's tea-kettle; Sir
ROBERT INGLIS' honest, ruddy countenance waxed
three times more erubescent ; and the Prime Mi-
nister, seeing no other way left of moderating the
hurricane that now blew fiercely from all quarters
of the House, cracked just such a set of jokes as their
hearers are always expected to laugh at, when Pre-
miers condescend to crack them. That Sir ROBERT
PEEL was eminently successful in his waggery we
will not undertak, to say; indeed a conscientious
regard for the sacred interests of truth compels
us to assert that the reverse was the fact; for among
the numerous other bright qualities with which bene-
ficent Nature has endowed him, certes she has not
included those of wit and drollery. Without ex-
ception—and this is a strong term to use—
without exception, we repeat, the Premier is about
the dullest and heaviest wag we know of a
and the only means we have of arriving at the fact
that he has just cracked a joke, is by his own preli-
minary bursts of cachinnation which never fail to
usher the frolicsome stranger into existence. Would
it be deemed disrespectful or irreverent, if we were
humbly to supplicate the Prime Minister of
Great Britain henceforth not to laugh so loudly

The papers still continue to give numerous details of
the said accident on board the Princeton. The Presi-
dent, upon acquainting the House of Representatives
officially with the melancholy event, whilst expressing
his deep grief at the great loss of valuable lives sus-
tained by the country, said that no blame could attach
to the commander or crew of the Princeton :—the acci-
dent was purely accidental. The President has ap-
pointed the Hon. J. Nelson, Attorney-General of United
States, to the office of Secretary of State ; and Commo-
dore Warrington, Chief of the Bureau of Yards and Docks,
to that of Secretary, pro tempore. Both Mr. Daniel
Webster and Mr. J. C. Calhoun are spoken of as likely
to succeed Mr. Usher as Secretary the latter
probably with some chance. The appointment is at the
present time a very important one as the very first act
of the new Secretary will be the negotiation of the Ore-
gon Territory question with our Plenipotentiary, Mr.
Packenham, who bad just opened his views of the mat-
ter to Mr. Upshur, when that gentleman was so unfor-
tunately killed on board the Princeton. It is hardly
likely that Mr. Webster would take the office under
present aspects; but Mr. Calhoun, who has just merged
his claim to the Presidency in those of Mr. Van Buren,
will probably accept the office, if offered to him.

Mr. M. MILNES gave notice of an amendment on
lord PALMERSTON'S motion relative to the slave trade,
to the effect that the mutual right of search was only
temporary, and should be at all times under the con-
trol of the Governments who were parties to the treaty.
Some other notices of motion were given, and ques-
tions put to the Government, which are briefly stated
in the Parliamentary report.

Colonel WOOD moved for leave to bring in a Bill
to exempt lime from toll conveyed on any turnpike
toad in Wales. Mr. HUME opposed the motion ; the
33i1l was intended only for the landlords, and he did
ot see why they should enjoy such an exemption.
ISir CHARLES MORGAN was also opposed to the mea-
sure. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said he was decidedly
opposed to the exemption, but he would not oppose
the introduction of the Bill, as he thought it ought to
printed and sent down to Wales, in order that the
opinion of the people in that quarter might be ascer-
tained. On a division leave was given to bring in the
33111 by a majority of 26.
Mr. HUTT moved that corn imported from British
possessions in South Africa, India, and Australasia,
Le subjected to the same duty as that paid on corn
smported from Canada. The motion wag rejected by
to majority of 70. Sir G. STAUNTON then made a
motion for granting a pension to the survivors of the
Sate Doctor MORRISON, for his services in China.
After a lengthened discussion, the motion was with-
drawn, and the House adjourned at Eleven o'Clock.

The Easter holidays commence next week, Par-
3iament of course, is to be adjourned for the usual
:period, great numbers of Members are already on the
-wing to enjoy themselves at their country seats, and
'he public may therefore justly ask what their repre-
esentatives have done during two months. Questions
sof vast importance should have been brought before
aither the lazy House of Lords or the talking House
'of Commons ; but has there been one measure in
-which the people can take the slightest interest in-
aroduced into either House ? While Ireland is
xxvaning under oppressions which no other portion
eufthe United Kingdom submitted to, which England
tand Scotland resisted as one man, and which are a
'disgrace to the age, the "strong Ministry," it is true,
sitiopt strong measures, but they are the measures of
one despot. Troops are sent into Ireland, the best
:friends of the country (for Mr. O'CONNELL, with all
}his faults, is her truest friend) are persecuted, juries
acre packed, newspaper reporters are bribed, and every
'scheme is adopted by the High Church party to
irritate that country against the Government. No
ktmedy is proposed for the evils which afflict Ireland,
rnd which are unparalleled in any European State.
:The Tories rejoice in punishment, and Ireland knows
It well. But what have the Government, during
these two months, done for England ? They have
seduced the Three-and-a-Half per Cents. They
Lave robbed certain fundholders of a portion of their
rnmnties. Have they made any compensation ?
Bave they proposed any measure which can alleviate
/the burdens of the people ? The enormous duties
on sugar, and corn, and tea, the articles chiefly
consumed by the working -classes, are to re-
wain as they are, and while the poor are
starving, the country gentlemen retire to their
seats to enjoy the amusements of hunting and racing.
4 system like this cannot prosper ; and we are glad
to find that even one of the Tory party is so con-
vinced of the iniquity of the Government that he
abakes off the dust of his feet against them. Last
Session was emphatically called the "Do-nothing
session," and the Government were named the
" Do-nothing Government." Have they improved ?
Was there ever such a miserable exhibition made by
s weak Government as has been made under that Go-
vernment which boasts of the support of the Church,
the wealth, and the intelligence of the country ?
There is not one measure of the slightest interest
which they have proposed or intend to carry. These
high Conservatives sneer at the French Chambers,
they sneer also at the French people; but what a
roble contrast does France exhibit compared with
England, in her Parliamentary legislation. Every

and stormily at his own facetiousness ? Our
supplication is urged from the kindliest motives, for
conceive the confusion and anguish that would ensue,
were the donor of that national boon, the Income-
tax, to be suddenly suffocated, like the Dutchman in
WASHINGTON IRVIRG'S " History of New York," in
an unsuccessful attempt to force a laugh at one
of his own jokes!

Madrid papers of the 18th have been received, but
they bring no intelligence of the slightest interest.
General RONCALI reached Carthagena on the 12th,
when his advanced posts were within gun-shot of the
town, and every preparation was made for the bom-
bardment. All the Ministers had arrived at Aran-
juez, to be present at the meeting of the QUEEN with
her mother.
The Three per Cent 3. were done at 341 for cash,
and 351 at 60 days, being a rise of 1 in the first,
and 11 in the last ; and the Five per Cents. at 23k at
60 days.

Three Bills of considerable importance have been
brought before the French Chamber of Deputies in
Committee—one to prevent bribery and corruption at
elections ; a second, to abolish the stamp duty on
newspapers ; and, the third, to reduce the number of
voters on any Bill before the Chamber from 230,
now required by the standing orders, to 100. The
Committees, by large majorities, sanctioned the intro-
duction of these measures. The abolition of the tax
on newspapers, however, was opposed by the Govern-

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, TUESDAY EVENING.
The Funds have been firm this afternoon, but there
has not been quite so high a value realised for Consols,
which closed at 98i 987,-. Exchequer Bills were without
alteration.
The Foreign Funds were rather animated. Spanish
Five per Cents. touched 25* to I for Money, and 251
to I for Account. The Three per Cents. were 36* to *;
and the 1843 Coupons, to be capitalised, 30i to
Mexican Bonds were worth 36 to i; and Colombian,
14/. Mexican Deferred Stock rose to 168 8.
'The additional transactions in Railway Shares have
been these :—Birmingham and Derby were 40 to 38k;
Brighton, 58; Midland Counties, 10 to 91; North Mid-
land, 8i; South Eastern, 1314; and Great North of Eng-
land, I discount. Eastern Counties New, 5; Ditto Ex-

The exchange on Hamburgh and Trieste did not look
quite so good. On Paris and Antwerp it was steady.

(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The transactions in Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
again limited, only 2,000 bags having been sold. Purchases
were made on rather easier terms, and the market had still a
downward tendency. The sales comprised 300 Surat at M.
to 44d. ; 150 Egyptian at 70. to 74d. ; 50 Pernambuco at
64d., and the rest American at sd. to 64d. per lb.—A
fair business was done in Railways, but prices ra-
ther receded. Birmingham and Gloucester were 86, Chester

The private mercantile advices received from the United I
States to-day are not of much interest. The supply of Cotton
was coming forward with very considerable activity. The
crop is estimated in round numbers at 1,700,000 bales. Spe-
culators for a rise were all at fault, the news from the country
having been bad as to prices. Trade was steady. There are
no advices of importance by the Patrick Henry, from Canada.
After all it appears that the capitalists of this country are
to be asked to advance further sums to the Spanish Treasury.
Indeed, so sure does Senor Carrasco seem of raising a new
loan that, in the budget, published in some of our Morning
Contemporaries, an amount of revenue is absolutely set aside
to provide for the interest of the fresh loan to be created.
Under date of Madrid the 17th the following information
upen this topic is given :
" Senor Carraso has drawn up and handed to the British
Minister a sort of eaporti of the affairs of Spain, intended to
set forth her pretensions to such a state of credit as will give
her a good footing with foreign nations, provided recourse
should.be had to them to assist her with a new loan.
" The tenor of this document may be thus described :
' Suppose that we strike out the annual charge of 249,000,000
reals for the interest of our debt, which it is useless to talk of
paying ; suppose that all pronunciamentos are at an end ; sup-
pose that we can reduce our army, and strike off from next
year's estimate of the Minister of War 140,000,000 reels—
suppose, further, that I am allowed to remain in office to
mature my plans, keep up the funds, and levy a new land-tax
of 300,000,000 reels, then Spain will go on swimmingly,
paying, as usual, 30,000,000 reals interest on the Three per
Cents. • 20,000,000 for new capitalizations in progress, and
30,000,000 more on the proposed loan, leaving in the trea-
sury a surplus of nearly 1,000,0001. sterling.' "
After the experience that the public in this country (for the
rieh and the middle classes in numbers have cause to repent
buying Spanish Stock) have had of what Castilian honour'
means, surprised indeed shall we be if Carrasco succeeds in gul-
ling the moneyed interest any longer. It is in fact a monstrous
absurdity to suppose that Spain can with all the reductions
and the increased revenues anticipated, pay even
a reduced interest upon the internal and foreign debt,
and have a surplus of income over expenditure of a million
sterling. This we do know, that there are scarcely
any men in the City to be found who will
take the scrip of the proposed new loan. Those
who do will act upon the principle of the fable of the " Fox
and the Goat." The fox fell into a well ; the goat came to
drink; and the former advised the latter to jump down (the
water being low —as are the finances of Spain)
and taste the refreshing beverage, which the goat having
done, the wily fox used the back and horns of the befooled
animal to escape from his predicament, leaving the goat in
the lurch. So with those who would aid the Spanish Mi-
nister to raise a new loan in this country. Most assuredly,
the public, who may follow them, will be dupes of those who
are only anxious to get out of the well.
A slight depression has taken place in the value of Stock
to-day. For Money, the price of Consols, after touching 99,
is now but 984 to 984. Consols for Account have remained
at 984. The Commissioners took about 30,000/. Consols this
morning at 984. The Three per Cents. of 1726, have been
quoted at 974. For Exchequer Bills the premium has
receded again to 68e. Bank Stock remains at 2004, and
India Stock at 292.
In Spanish Stock to-day the variations have been slight,
The Actives have improved to 254 4, and the Three per
Cents. for the Account to 364 4. For Portuguese Converted
464 has been paid. Dutch Stock has rallied a shade. Bra-
zilians have receded. Mexican Deferred have advanced to 16,
but are now 4 per cent. lower ; and Venezuelan are at 114.
Scarcely an average amount of business has been trans-
acted in the Railway Share Market to-day, and prices have
but slightly varied. Provincial Bank of Ireland Shares have
just realised 18, premium.
MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, MARCH 25.—There has
been a very limited business done to-day, but prices are steady.
Bolton and Preston, 304 ; Bristol and Exeter, 71 to 72 ;
Dublin and Drogheda, 65 to 66 ; Manchester and Birming-
ham, 47 to 474; Manchester and Leeds, 115 to 116; Paris
and Rouen, 364 to 364.
