LONDON, MONDAY, JANUARY 28, 1850,

On Thursday Parliament will once more have re-
assembled. Another session will afford the Protec-
tionist minority a more available opportunity than it
has hitherto possessed of impeding the progress of
public business, and, while only damaging their own
small repute, and conducing to their own more speedy
discomfiture, throwing every possible and impossible
obstacle in the way of the Government. From the
noisy character of their recent demonstrations we
may reasonably anticipate a series of vociferous and
almost interminable discussions. For the defenders
of an obsolete policy, the apologists of an abandoned
system, the exponents of decomposed doctrines and
decaying principles, have an obtuseness of intelligence
similar to that of the fool mentioned in the
proverb, who, convinced against his will, continues
obdurately of the same opinion still, however
logical or conclusive may be the refutation of his
sophistries. We believe, on a moderate calculation,
that every Free-trader in both Houses of the Im-
perial Legislature has been required, now by one
party, and now by another to demonstrate upwards of
a thousand times the reasonableness of his convictions
---a thousand times, we mean, since the passing of
the great measure which carried confusion among the
monopolists. Yet, although the question has been
argued to very nausea, though the folly, or rather the
fatuous stupidity of Protection (so called) has been
expounded with the clearness of a syllogism, so that
not a blockhead in her MAJESTY'S dominions could
fail to recognise the justice of the deductions made in
favour of free trade, the Country Party have
dosed their ears, have shut their eyes, have
shrouded their consciences from the recognition of
truths self-evident to everybody else, and demand
again and again the repetition of reasons that are
becoming proverbial, and of calculations that are
growing most unmistakeably tedious. It is the intermin-
able rolling and revulsion, the advance and retrogres-
sion of that stony error which can never gather the
moss of common-sense under the hands of the political
Sisyphus. It is dipping for water with a cullender,
attempting anything like rational debate wi.b
men who are indifferent to the force of the most un-
answerable demonstration. And men such as these
form the tatterdemalion regiment which becomes
scattered only to rally again round the old, worm-
eaten, threadbare, faded, abandoned, tarnished, and
nearly forgotten banner of Protection.
Every one is prepared for a last and desperate
struggle for otliee on the part of the little Quixotic
squad proclaiming itself the body guard of Agricul-
ture. Evrry ono is prepared, consequently, for the
contention of the opposing forces on the floor of the
Lords and the Commons. The certainty that the self-
styled friends of the farmers will battle, so to speak,
to the life and to the death for the seizure of the red
boxes, is the reflection which mainly tends to impart

a zest to the prospect of the approaching session.
And it is possibly from their full appreciation of this
tilE-14*,,,,nrItstopthat the merokrs of the Adrainistra-
itiers-hert4tlected the most redoubtable of all the
aee trade to move in" the souse of Com-

mons the answer to the Address from the Throne.
That selection we have already commented upon as
most judicious, and as one reflecting the highest
possible credit on the discrimination of the Cabinet.
It afforded us, therefore, extreme satisfaction to observe
the echo of the same sentiments, within a week ( f
their publication, by the lips of the Hon. Gentleman
the Representative of the West Riding of Yorkshire
when addressing, on a recent occasion, the intelligent
inhabitants of Sheffield. We doubt not that the
hcnour thus conferred on the Hon. CHARLES PEL-
HAM VILLIERS by her MAJESTY'S Ministerial advisers
has carried some slight sensation at least of
dismay into the ranks even of men so self-satisfied of
their indestructibility as the Protectionists. They
cannot fail to perceive in the circumstance of the
foremost :champion of unrestricted commerce being
chosen to inaugurate the proceedings of the new
Parliamentary session a significant token of the
staunch and unalterable adherence of the present
Administration to that commercial policy which Sir
ROBERT PEEL had the unfading glory of establishing.
No act, indeed, on the part of the Government could
by any possibility be more expressive of the depth of
its resolution in regard to the detestation of mono-
poly. It is like registering a vow in the pre-
sence of the whole country to be loyal to
that cause with which the name of every
member of the Cabinet has become associated and
identified. Insomuch so, that, notwithstanding a
large amount of bluster and fanfaronade, we eon-
jecture that the Protectionists must be already medi-
tating the abandonment of their armour, and possibly
before the year 1850 has expired their rusty shields
and broadswords may be hung up for ever in desolate
halls of the agricultural Balclutha.

It is calculated that the Commons on the occasion
of their re-assembly will muster more strongly than
could reasonably have been expected, not a solitary
seat being actually vacant. Six vacancies during
the recess have been filled up with new representatives :
Kidderminster abandoning Mr. GODSON for Mr. BEST;
Cork accepting Colonel CHATTERTON in lieu.of Mr.
CALLAGHAN; West Surrey exchanging Mr. EVELYN for
Mr. DENNISON; Shoreham replacing Mr. GORING
with Lord ALEXANDER GORDON LENNOX ; Boston
selecting Captain PELHAM as the successor of Sir
JAMBS Dusz ; and Reading, on the elevation of
Mr. Serjeant TALFOURD to the judicial bench,
taking Mr. STANFORD as its representative. Such have
been the alterations made in the character of the
House of COMMODs since the prorogation of Parlia-
ment, four of the above vacancies having arisen from
deaths, and the remaining two from other casualties.
With a modification so minute in the actual; position of
parties in the popular branch of the Legislature, it
cannot be difficult to estimate the preponderance of
votes upon any one of the different questions already
submitted to discussion. Hence, therefore, we . are
enabled to form something more than mere conjec-
tures as to the probable labours of the session now on
the `eve of its commencement. The public are not
inexperienced in the political creed of their present
representatives, and hence they may conamenCupon
the proportions of the division lists without much
hazard of labouring under a delusion, either
in the way of despondency or of. over-
confidence. During three years the Prime
Minister has been unremitting in his efforts
to marshal in something like order and compactness
the mass of his supporters. It is consequently with
no unpractised hand that he adventures upon the
direction of the new Parliamentary -campaign, but
rather with a sense of his own greater aptitude for
the conduct of affairs, and with a larger confidence in
the consistency and vigour of the Liberal majority.
From his experience, moreover, of the general irrita-
tion caused by the short-comings hitherto conspicuous
in the course of the ruling Government, we are san-
guine that a beneficent impetus has been imparted to
his ambition to secure his popularity yet further by
the evidences of his enlightened statesmanship and
the tokens of his undeviating patriotism. Hence it
is that we look with hope, if not with, implicit re-
liance upon the approaching labours of our hereditary
and representative legislators.

The advocates of monopoly are taking full advan-
tage of the holiday season. In every practicable in-
stance the Protectionist leaders are endeavouring to
induce their dupes to neglect the care of their re-
spective farms in order to attend meetings, and listen
to the plaintive Jeremiads poured forth by the chosen
orators. If we are to believe these sagacious and
longheaded gentlemen, the sun Of England's
prosperity has set for ever. No hope
remains for a country where the blighting
influence of free trade has been suffered to prevail.
Nothing can be expected but a national bankruptcy,

in which all classes, the manufacturer as well as the
agriculturist, will be involved in one common ruin.

The only advantage which the former can anticipate
is, that his destruction may not take place for a brief
period after that of his rural brethren is accomplished.
He may obtain the privilege of Ovnr, and be the

" last devoured ;" but the fate which inevitably awaits
bim cannot be averted. He must make up his mind to
submit to the common lot. The proprietors of the soil
may farm their own estates, while the farmers go to
the workhouse and the paupers to —, a place not to
be named to ears polite, but the factories will speedily
be closed, and the operatives deprived of employment.
The millowners will appear in the Gazette, the
columns of which must be enlarged to make room
for the increasing numbers who must make up
their minds to undergo, the " whitewashing " process,
and the cotton spinners and other hands, who—
short-sighted and deluded individuals—now rejoice in
the possession of " cheap and untaxed food," and that
greatest of all popular fallacies, "a large loaf," will be
unable to obtain funds to purchase bread, although it
may be at a merely nominal price, and all bat given
away.

Such, according to these modern Solons, are the
calamities that await the nation, in consequence of the
grievous mistake in legislation that was committed
in the session of 1846—calamities from which
nothing can preserve once fortunate and happy Eng-
land but a rapid retrogression in her commercial po-
licy, and a speedy re-establishment of protective or
prohibitory duties on the importation of foreign
corn and of every description of agricultural produce.
The remedy is plain and simple nothing, in fact,
more easy. The landlords, poor innocents I have no
personal feelings or motives in endeavouring to
restore the national prosperity. It is solely
for the benefit of the community in general
that they are induced to labour, for the farmers and
agricultural labourers, nay, even the manufacturers
and operatives, are included within the scope of their
comprehensive and disinterested philanthropy, and yet,
" 0 email me= :mortaliunt," the besotted and deluded
victims cannot discern who are their real friends and
what is best calculated to promote their own welfare
and happiness, but still obstinately cling to the
" cheap loaf," and " heed not the voice of the
charmer," charm he never so wisely.

The proceedings at the various gatherings are so
similar, both in the conduct and results, that one may
be taken as the type of all. An attentive perusal of
the report of a single meeting will render the reader
completely au fait as to all. If then we allude to the
transactions at one assemblage, a general insight will
be obtained as to all. Some may be possibly ren-
dered a little more racy than others. It is not
every county that can boast a Mr. BUS-
FEILD FENRAND, nor can we hope to hear
on many occasions such graphic and vigorous nar-
ratives of sanguinary encounters, ending hi the igno-
minious execution of one of the rebel generals by the
hands of an associate who had volunteered to fill the
office of " hangman," in order to preserve his miser-
able existence. No. Greece knew no second.llosiba,
and England bath no other " FERRAND." We, there-
fore, pass by the gathering at York, as being in some
.
respects sui generis ; and if we select the meeting of
the South Derbyshire Protectionists for special notice
we are influenced by no invidious motive*, but because
it may be considered a fsir average specimen of the
general lot, and partly because the clear and able
commentaries of an esteemed Contemporary, the
Derby and C4esterfield Reporter, have already exhi-
bited the entire affair in its true light, and exposed the
secret machinery by which similar " demonstrations"
are got up, and the voice of public opinion (public
opinion indeed ! GOD save the mark !) is to make
itself heard throughout the length and breadth of
the land.

We shall not notice the outpourings of the noto-
rieties that appeared "starring" on prOvinciai

boards—we hare already had quite enough of the
" Poles," the " Freshfields," the " G. F. Youngs,"
and the " Mundys." The lugubrious howlings of
these distinguished individuals are stereotyped by
every journal that may deem it expedient to record or
chronicle such pure and unadulterated " humbug."
They indeed may exclaim—
" Qum regio in terris, noetra non plena laboris."

Whether the agriculturists of Essex, the
farmers of Surrey, or the sturdy yeomen of
Kent be invited, the indefatigable FRESBFIELD7
whose legal lore must be exceedingly valuable in
teaching the most approved modes of culture, and the
omnipresent "G. F. Yonne are at hand to en-
lighten and direct the gaping multitude. We cannot,
however, pass over an admirable specimen of that rara
avis in terris, a " PROECTIONIST-MA.NUFACTURER."
Mr. JOSIAH LEWIS (silk manufacturer) appeared
on the stage. That astute individual informed his as-
tounded audience that "one of the strongest arguments
against free trade was found in the fact, that Derby
was prosperous 1! " He discovered " that the staple
trade in Derby enjoyed a certain amount of protec-
tion, and if that were withdrawn in the slightest de-
gree, every loom in Derby would be stopped, or they
would have to reduce the wages of the labourer one-
half !" The Honourable Gentleman seeing the
astonishment which his erudite discovery occasioned
in the minds of the auditory, found it necessary to
make some modifications of his statement. He added,
"He did not mean to say the whole of
the silk trade was protected. Thrown silks were not
protected, and what was the consequence ? Why
the throwers were obliged to withdraw from that de-
partment of the business which had keen entirely
abandoned to the foreigners 1!" Now this is a dis-
tinct and definite assertion, perfectly capable of being
sustained by evidence, and we readily join issue with
Mr. JOSIAH LEWIS thereupon. We believe that the
great majority of the manufacturers of the district
repeatedly petitioned Parliament for a repeal
of the corn-laws, and stated in their petitions
that " they required no protection for themselves."
In fact, they always disclaimed protection, as their
late representative, Mr. STRUTT, declared, on their
behalf, in his place in. Parliament. It is admitted that
the silk-thrown trade is not protected, but so far from
being " entirely abandoned to the foreigner," we have
it, on the most unquestionable authority, that it was
never in a more healthy or prosperous condition, and
that all the mills are not only working
full time, but that it has been found ne
cessary to give orders for work elsewhere-
Let Mr. Limo deny these assertions if he can ; and
if not, how can he get out of assertions such as
FERDINAND MENEZ PINTO might blush to father.
The mode in which " unanimity" is secured at the
reactionary meetings may be gathered from the fact
that Mr. SAMUEL ROBINSON, a highly respectable and
intelligent tenant-farmer, holding .more than 400
acres of land, was hustled out of the meeting, and
ejected, vi et armis, by these bludgeonists in the dis-
guise of decent.yeomen. To those who desire an
accurate account of such transactions we heartily
commend the unsparing exposures contained in the
columns of our talented and esteemed Contemporary,
the Derby and Chesterfield Reporter.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of Saturday
and yesterday.
The Afoniteur of Saturday publishes the following
circular, on the subject of passports, addressed by
the Minister of Foreign Affairs to the French Consuls
resident in Great Britain :
" Monsieur,—The numerous complaints rased in
England by the obligation imposed on Englishmen on
their landing in France to exchange at the port of their
arrival the passports which they bring with them, and
which were delivered to them by our consuls in the
United Kingdom for a provisional pass, have excited the
particular attention of the Government. It has thought
proper, while maintaining the dispositions prescribed by
the law relative to public safety, to modify in practice
with regard to England the state of things now exist-
ing. It has, theref,re, thought that there would be no
inconvenience in substituting for the ;present passports
a titre de voyage, under the name of pass, a model of
which you will find annexed. These passes, which will
be valid for a month, will serve to go and return between
France and England. It is this pass which you will there-
fore henceforward deliver to the English who may
apply at your office previous to their leaving
for France. You will not deliver them withcut de-
taching from them the marginal check, which you will
preserve and fora and direct at the end of every week to
the Minister of the Interior. You will be pleased to
take the proper measures, in order that all the consular
agents p'aced under your orders shall be prepared to
corf,ros immediately, like yourself, to these new ar-
rangements. For this purpose you will send them a
sufficient number of copies of the new passes, with the
necessary instructions. Yon will recommend to them
the greatest_ exactitude in immediately delivering the
passes when demanded, in order that at the places of
embarkation a traveller may always be able to procure
that document between the arrival of the railway train
and the departure of the steamer. As it would be nei-
ther just nor proper that Frenchmen should be treated
less favourably than English subjects, the present in-
structions will naturally apply to such French subjects
as may wish to return from England into France. The
charge for these new passes will be the fame as for the
old passports—viz., 61. 25c., or ss. I, moreover, authc-
rise you to give the present circular all the publicity
which you may think proper.
" Accept, &a.,
" General Div LA. Ffmra, Minister of
Foreign Affairs."
The Moniteur also states that the Minister of Fi-

nance, in order to avoid the delays caused in the sea-
ports by the inspection of the luggage of travellers,
has given orders that that examination shall be made
at the termini of the railway at Paris on the arrival of
the trains.

The trial of M. EstiLn DE GIEARDIN, for having
republished in the Frew an article from La Beforme,
for the publication of which the gerant of the latter
journal had been tried and convicted, took place on
Friday, and terminated in the acquittal of M. EMILE
DE GIRARDIN. The Presse has the following obser-
vations on this trial :

" The att. actlr of justice is impassibility, that a li-
berty is mobility—passion. The court' of law which
judges liberty may strike it, but the blow which the court
gives is always less violent than the counterblow which
it receives. The court which judges liberty ceases to be
justice in all the majesty of that simple word ; it be-
comas political justice—that is to say, uncertain, versatile,
suspected, which all parties are entitled by turns to dis-
trust, for thtre is not one which has not by turns abused
it, and caused it to fall into excesses. Will it be said that
political justice, which pronounces on the crimes and of-
fences of the press,escapes the reproaches which we mul-
-1 tion, by the institution, so essentially variable, of jury-
men? Whoever says so is mistaken. To choose the jury
to intervene in political matters is to weaken its autho-
rity in civil onus. The juryman who pronounces on
the innocence or fruit of a robber, has only his consci-
ence to interrogate; it is not the same with him who
pronounces on the innocence or culpability of a doubtful
doctrine; in that case he must distrust his opinion, mast
fling it aside, must impose silence on it, in order to be
sure that it will not speak more loudly than his consci-
ence—a formidable trial, to which it would be more
prudent not to submit the juryman. What we asked be-
fore the decision which has acquitted the Presse, and
what we ask now after that event, is the absolute sepa-
ration of what is in the domain of justice from what ap-
pertains to liberty. May this deciSion be the last in
press matters. Let the law officers of the Republic be-
lieve us, and henceforward cease to prosecute journals;
let them leave to them the care of contradicting and
neutralising each other. They will perform the duty
better than can do it all the substitutes who desire to
become Advocates-General, all the Advocates-General
anxious to become Procureurs-General."

The Constitutionnel publishes the following semi-
official announcement of the intentions of the Govern-
ment with regard to La Plata :
" The most contradictory reports have been in circula-
tion for the last few days with regard to the intentions
of the Government on the question of La Plate. We
are able to declare that the Government is, and has
always been, firmly resolved to execute all that it pro-
mised when it accepted the amendment of M. Rance, to
guarantee the honour and the interests of the Republic;
to seriously protect French subjects against every even-
tuality that may arise, and at the same time to maintain
the independence of Monte Video, as stipulated in the
Convention of 1840. The negotiations opened by
Admiral Le Predour have not been broken off; they will,
therefore, serve as the starting point for the new nego-
tiations, as the Government clearly explained to the As-
sembly. In this state of things it is natural that the Go-
vernment should wish Admiral Predour to continue the
mission confided to him. The Government sends to that
general officer such reinforcements as will enable him to
defend French subjects, and which, while permitting him
to secure their safety against every possible eventuality,
will furnish him with that moral liberty of which he
stands in recd as neg-otiat )r. This arrangement—
simply protective of the interests of French subjects and
completely independent of the eventuality of a rupture—
will give that weight to the negotiations which they
bef)re wanted; and, on the other ban-1, if they should
be broken off, these ()roes will serve to occupy the city
of Monte Video and the island cfMartin•Garciairlorder
I to maintain the status quo until ulterior decision. bl.
Goury du Roslan, First Secretary of Legation, who has
long resided in Spanish America, where he successfully
filled the functions of Charg6 d'Affaires under very
difficult circumstances, has been sent out to Admiral Le
Predour. He takes out to him detailed instructions,
and is prepared to complete, in case cf need, by verbal
explanations, the expression of the idea which has in-
spired the determination of the Government:7
• The Napoleon states that the naval force about to ,A

sail for the Plata will consist of two frigates, eight
corvettes, brigs, gun-boats and steamers. Admiral
LE PREDOUR is to keep command of the station.
There are at present in the Plata one frigate, two
corvettes, and a brig.
The same journal contains the following attack on
General DE LAMORICIERE, who, it will be remem-
bered, proposed to vest in the Assembly the exclusive
right of pardoning the insurgents of June :
" General Lamoriciere has presented an amendment
to the Assembly which is an open violation cf Article
55 of the Constitution. That article, as is well known,
gives the President of the Republic the right to grant
pardon after the previous advice of the Council of State.
The General wishes to invest the Assembly with the
exclusive right of setting at liberty the 468 insurgents
of June still in custody. This attempt has caused deep
surprise in a twofold point of view. No one, in the first
place, is ignorant that General Lamoriciere belongs to
that fraction of the Assembly which professes an extreme
admiration for the Constitution. In the next place we
cannot comprehend how a man who, only a few days
since represented the President of the Republic at St.
Petersburgh, could make the first use of his Parliamen-
tary initiative to bring forward a proposition which is
an act of mistrust of the President. 'I he small number
of votes given to it is a significative mark of tt eypinion
of the Assembly."
The report on the Bill relative to the civil list
and private property of the ex-King Louis Pniurrs
and his family has been distributed to the Assembly.
It appears from the report that at the time of the re-
volution, on the 24th of February, the debts of the
KING amounted to 33 millions of francs, but the
value of his property, independently of his claims on
the civil list, was 100 millions, supposing that it
could be realised at once at nominal prices. The
amount already paid to the creditors by the sales
which have been effected, and the money in band
from the civil list, is 8,900,000 f. The Committee are
unanimously of opinion that, in order that the liqui-
dation may be continued without an improper sacri-
fice of property, the liquidators should be allowed till
the 31st of December to complete the settlement.
The Committee propose to maintain temporarily the
decree of sequestration on the property of the ex-
Royal Family, with the exception of that of the Duke
D'AUMALE and the Prince DE JOINVILLE, indepen-
dently of the dotation of August 7, 1830.
The Bill introduced by General BARAGUAY
D'Hiwaas repealing the decree of 19th July, 1849,
by which education in the Polytechnic and Military
schools was ordered to be gratuitous from the Ist
Oct., 1850, was on Saturday ordered to be read a
second time by a large majority, notwithstanding
the opposition of General LAMORICIERE.
The Estafette of Sunday publishes the following
important communication :-
4A frequent exchange of dispatches has for some
time been going on between the Cabinets of Vienna
and Turin and the French Government. These dis-
patches relate, it is said, to a negotiation of high im-
portance. Austria, whose financial resources are en-
tirely exhausted, and who foresees fresh insurrectional
movements in Lombardy, would be very glad to relieve
herself from such dangerous eventualities, and at the
same time replenish her exhausted coffers. In conse-
quence Austria feels disposed to cede to Piedmont a
considerable portion of Lombardyfor a large indemnity.
Should this project succeed, the boundaries of Sardinia
would be pushed to the Mincio. The French and
English Governments have received communications on
this subject from Austria and Sardine, with a request
that they would give us their opinion what sum Sardinia
ought to pay for the ceded territory ?"
Lord BROUGHAM has met with a slight accident in
his eye. AR instrument which he was carrying home
in his carriage struck him on the ball of the eye and
injured it slightly, but there is no danger to the sight.
His Lordship was to have left Paris for London to-
night, but in consequence of this accident he has
been obliged to postpone his journey. He however
hopes to be able to leave to-morrow. _

A very large portion of the space usually devoted
to original articles is filled, in several of the journals
of this day, with very long extracts from the intro-
duction to the fourth edition of the two first volumes
of. the " History of the Revolution of England," by
M. Guizor.

The Napoleon says, " The gnglish journals still
speak of an intention on the part of the French
Government to contract a loan. We can assure the
public that the Government is quite decided not to
contract one."

The same journal announces that Dr. A.cathm has
arrived in France, having succeeded in making his
escape from the dungeons of the Inquisition at Rome.
Letters from Cherbourg of the 24th state that the
steam-frigate Caffarelli arrived there from Brest to
take on board three companies of the 2d Regiment of
Marine Infantry, destined to form part of the expedi-
tion of La Plata. It will sail from Brest in the
course of next month.
