Mr. HATCHELL then addressed the Court for Mr.
RAT, the secretary of the Association, denouncing
the Crown for having included him in the indict-
ment, thus depriving the traversers of the best wit-
ness they could have called to prove the object and
legal constitution of the Association. This may be
taken as the pith and substance of the Learned Gen-
tleman's address, which concluded at half-past two
o'clock.
Mr. FITZGIBBON, who was the next in order of the
traversers' counsel to address the Court, then applied
for an adjournment, on the double grounds of his own
personal indisposition, and the impossibility of the
jury, in a case of such magnitude, attending to the
views of so many counsel in such rapid succession.
The Chief Justice said he had observed the in-
disposition of Mr. FITZGIBBON for several days, and,
concluding that no other counsel was prepared to go
on, was disposed to allow the adjournment.
The Attorney-General said he would not, for a
moment, ask Mr. FITZGIBBON to proceed, but he
thought, when there were so many other counsel,
Some one of them—Mr. WHITESIDE or Mr. M'Do-
SOUGH—might proceed.
Mr. O'CONNELL said a certain order had been
agreed on, which could not be disturbed.
The Chief Justice then, in a manner that seemed
more than half a rebuke to the Attorney-General,
admitted the reasonableness of the application, and
adjourned the Court till Tuesday morning, when
Mr. FITZGIBBON will begin the defence of Dr. GRAY.

The reign of Ministerial humbug and chicanery—
as regards the corn-laws at least—is, we suspect,
drawing to a close, and, whether willingly or un-
willingly, Sir ROBERT PEEL must take an early op-
portunity of speaking out, and telling the country
manfully and distinctly, what he intends to do with
the corn question—whether to maintain the present
sliding scale, resort to a moderate fixed duty, or
abolish the impost altogether. The vague, mys-
terious course of policy he has hitherto pursued, has
had the natural effect of rendering all parties
nearly equally discontented—men's patience is com-
ple'ely worn out—and they now at length feel that
they have a right—and it is a right they
will insist on—to be put in full possession of the
Premier's views, as regards that momentous question
in which the whole country takes so deep an interest.
The Monopolists are not less peremptory than the
Leaguers on this point. " Speak out !" is the cry of
the one party—" Speak out I" is the cry of the other.
" You have appealed to our compassion and for-
bearance long enough," exclaim both in unison ; "you
have put us off with fine smooth words and plausible
sophistries, till the repetition of such inanities has
become quite sickening ; and now we demand that,
for the first time since you took the reins of Govern-
ment, you shall address us in the plain, bold, in-
telligible dialect of common sense." Are we
mistaken in attributing these feelings to the Mo-
nopolists and the Free-traders ? Certainly not,
for at all the recent meetings of the League such
has been the language held by the principal
speakers ; and at the late agricultural gathering in
Sussex we find the Duke of RICHMOND expressing
himself in this explicit style—" I think we are en-
titled to tell Ministers that the uncertainty of
their opinions is an evil of no ordinary magni-
tude. We want to know whether it is their
intention to maintain the protection which is still
left to us. We only ask theta to speak out. I, for
one, will never vote for one iota of your present pro-
tection being diminished. No threats on the one hand,
no cajolery on the other, shall ever persuade me
to stir from the position which we now occupy."
"No cajolery !" How expressive is this one word
of Sir R. PEEL'S favourite system of tactics, and how
distinctly it denotes his Grace's impressions of the
Premier's character ! "No cajolery I" We must
repeat the word once more, for it is an accurate por-
trait, true to the life, dexterously finished off by: one
single touch of the brush. But if the Duke is ex-
plicit at Steyning, Sir JOHN TaoLLorn is still more
so at Kesteven. "He had received," observed
the Hon. Baronet, "a note from Sir R. PEEL, re-
minding him of the approaching session of Parliament,
and requesting his early attendance. To that note
he had answered that, if the Government were not
prepared to put down an agitation going on in this
country, similar to that which they were suppressing
in Ireland, they would have but little support from
him, or from county Members in general." This is a
pretty little nut for our equivocating, expediency-
courting Premier to crack at his leisure ;
but Sir THOMAS LETHBRIDGE—for so many years
his unflinching supporter in the House of Commons
—hits him nearly quite as hard. " Remember," he
says, in a recent letter to the landholders of West
Somerset—" remember, there is a gentleman of great
power sitting in Downing-street, who is carefully
watching all that is going on, and he only
wants to see what you do in opposition to
League doctrines, to speak out himself, or to
hold his tongue, or to speak out in his own
peculiar manner, which few among us will,
perhaps understand." It is clear from these,
and similar demonstrations of public feeling that
have recently been evinced both at the meetings of
the League and those of the Monopolists, that Sir
ROBERT PEEL, must at length make up his mind to
speak out, and tell the country in distinct, intelligible
terms what it is, or is not, to expect from him. And
surely it is high time that he should be taught
the necessity of making himself understood by those
for whose presumed ' benefit he is intrusted with
the reins of authority! Anything is better than
the tricky, studied mystification in which he now
deals, and whose only effect is to keep every interes
in the community in a state of fever and unsettle•

Madrid journals of the 22€1 have been received. A
general belief began to prevail that there would be a
partial change, at least, in the Cabinet, before the
arrival of Queen CHRISTINA, as she cannot forget or
forgive the attacks made on her by GONZALES
BRAVO, in his journal. The Gazette contains a docu-
ment which shows the deplorable state of the navy. It
consists of only one ship of the line at sea, two re-
quiring repair, four armed frigates and two disarmed,
two corvettes, nine brigs, three large and three small
steamers of war, fifteen schooners, and nine vessels of
a lesser size. " These vessels," says the Minister of
Marine, "are manned by only a small number of
brave and well-disciplined seamen, but badly clad,
badly paid, and badly organised, groaning under the
weight of their misery, and exposed to the imminent
danger of witnessing the extinction of those valiant
qualities which are only to be found in well-organised
bodies." He denies that the ruin of the navy was
caused by the battle of Trafalgar, for, after that de-
feat, Spain had still seventy sail of the line and
frigates, with forty smaller vessels. The object of
the Minister is to restore the navy, by establishing a
naval school, increasing the number of vessels of war
in the colonies, and encouraging commerce.

The Three per Cents. were done at 254 for cash,
and 261 for the 9th of February. The Five per
Cents. were not quoted.

nlawful Sovereign of the country With his advice. The
charge, therefore, make against him is, not just, and
that his opponents know. The real cause of th•
uproar was not GUIZOT'S loyalty in 1815, but the
recollection of that memorable battle which decided
the fate of Naporatos, and brought 'a million of
armed men to Paris. We have no reason to find
fault with this feeling, honourable to an independent
nation, but if we praise the patriotism of these
men, it must be at the expense of their sense
of justice and discretion. We here • subjoin ex-
tracts from the papers in reference to the party
who made such an unbecoming attack on the Minis-
ter. " To give an accurate idea," says the Journal
des Debats, " of the violence and oppression with
which the sitting of yesterday concluded, would be
very difficult. As one
.of the Knica's Ministers, as a
Deputy, the honour of the Chainber and the country,
his admirable speech, with all these claims, M.
GUIZOT could not obtain permission from the Left to
speak freely. During a whole hour his voice was
drowned under disgraceful clamours, miserable quib-
bles, false semblances of an indignation previously
concerted and conned by heart during fifteen days.
There was not even one of the most obscure occupants
of.seats on the Left bench who, seeking after a paltry
popularity, did not take advantage of the occasion to
heap outrages upon the great orator—the intrepid
Minister! They were able to interrupt—they could
stifle the voice—they could violate, in the person of
that illustrious man, whom they detest because he is
greater than themselves, all the rights of a Minister
and a Deputy ; but to subdue his fortitude was, and
ever will be, beyond their power. They may wear
out his life, as they did that of M. CASIMIR RIMIER,
but his name will survive, as honoured as theirs is
despised!"
The Globe another Ministerial paper remarks :
"We beheld with shame the degradation to-'which politi-
cal rancour conducts honourable citizens, and every body
must have thought with us, on hearing men without name,
without influence in the country, without. authority in the-
Chamber hurl forth their jealous hatred, that it was be-
cause they were incapable of speaking. And what have
these thirty cokes, which Mirabeau would have overpowered
with the thunder of his voice, and which M. Guizot has do-

principal delegate, was announced to preach in the
several Presbyterian churches in the city of New
York.

Murders for the sake of plunder are on the in-
crease in the United States. In Providence, Rhode
Island, Mr. Ainasa Sprague was found about a mile
from his house, having been beaten to death about the
head in a horrid manner. A reward of 1,000 dollars
had been offered for the discovery of the miscreants.
The demand for money," says one of the papers,
" which continues very abundant, is slowly increas-
ing ; but the banks find it still necessary to resort to
loans on stock, and other than strictly legitimate busi-
ness, for the purpose of making their regular divi-
dends.

Stocks were quiet. In Foreign exchange nothing
of importance had been done. The rate on London
is quoted at 109 to 109+.

In Ashes little had been done. Pots are quoted
nominally, at 4.50.; Pearls, 5.12+. Flour was inac-
tive. Genessee held at 4.621 to 4.682. Prime yel-
low Bees-war sold at 29 cents.
There is no news from Canada of interest.

minated by his courage, and by his contempt succeeded in
stifling ? Absolutely nothing. M. Guizot said all he
thought, and the effect remained when the tumult had
ceased. Ah ! what a noble thing is intelligence contending
against brutality! A single man, of almost feeble appear-
ance, enclosed in a circle of invectives, calumnies, and in-
sults, preserving unchanged the serenity of his ideas arid his
language, ever dignified, ever respectable, constantly victo-
rious iu his subdued anger, and assuming, in the intervals of
silence, the attitude of an accuser, and the authority of a
Ydke ! Santerres of the tieY.o,Wtion,of tinlyote thank you!
ou have shown to us the' full measure of your designs, and
how we are to proceed to put down your tumult. We must
oppose calm language to your fury, and France, which listens
as the immense majority of the Chamber did yesterday, will
declare in favour of good sense against clamour.'

The National finds nothing to censure, but much

to admire, in the conduct of the Left of the Chamber.
The Opposition was " majestic in its tumult, and im-
placable in its justice."

FOUR DAYS LATER FROM
AMERICA.

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY EVENING.
The Ashburton, Captain Huttleston, has just come
up the river, bringing eight papers to the 10th inst.
inclusive. The kngland packet-ship had arrived out
at New York, also the George Washington, whose
Captain (Burrowes) had died on the voyage.

" We are still palpitating," says that journal, "from the
emotions of this admirable sitting. Nothing similar has oc-
curred for thirteen years, and we cannot hope to describe in
writing the moving drama which was performed before our
eyes. Everything is Wanting to our powerless
.pen—the im-
mense movement of the Opposition, majestic in its tumult,
implacable in its justice, inspired solely by the energetic sen-
timent of nationality, the indignation, in short, which, fired
by the same electric current, exploded like thunder, and
hurled its bolts at the voyageur de Gand,' whilst he was re-
counting his treason at the tribune, which had become for
him a pillory.",

Foreign exchanges were dull, at a downward ten-
dency in rates. London is at 1081 to 109 ; Paris, 5.281;

Alluding generally to the sitting, the Presse says':
—" What a sitting ! What a tumult! What a de-
plorable discussion ! What violent recriminations !
What a passionate assembly ! What a President !"
And then proceeds at enormous length to show that
the absence of dignity, the want of moderation, the
incessant interruptions, and almost hootings of the
Opposition—resembling rather the violence of the
mob at an English election than the conduct of men
strong in the conviction of the goodness of their
cause, and listening with attention and without fear
to the arguments of their opponents—were in a great
measure due to the incapacity of the President.
We extract the following passage from the article
of the Constitutionnel

" Never were we present at such a tempest never did we
witness in the Chamber such a frightful ttiinult. In other
times, and when another affair Was under consideration, we
willingly expressed, and without even remembering our
political differences, some sympathy for the speaker standing
up intrepidly against the storm, and declaring boldly, in the
face of interruptions, that his strength might be exhausted,
but not his courage. It is not possible for us now to give
this satisfaction to M. Guizot. He struggled obstinately
against the manifestations which burst forth from all parts,
but it was in a deplorable cause, which is condemned by the
feelings of the nation as energetically as by the Chamber."
The Courrier Francais blames the Minister for
accepting a discussion on a personal fact which oc-
curred thirty years ago, but at the same time praises
his firmness. The Carlist Qeotidienne thus winds up
its attack on the pilgrim of Ghent :
" The Minister attempted to explain his journey to Ghent,
and was so unfortunate as to try to justify it, on the ground
of the probable return of the Bourbons. It results from this
doctrine, that if the Duke de Bordeaux had at this moment
any chances of a restoration, the journey to London could not
be blamed. During an hour and a half the Minister sus-
tained a painful struggle against the impressions of. the
Chamber, and exhausted every means of compromising him-
elf. ' I have assisted you in preparing the revolution,' was
his language to the men of the Left—' I have defended the
constitutional monarchy,' was his excuse to those of the
Centre. The fact is, that M. Guizot went to Ghent, where
no one sent for him—where Ho one wanted his advice. • He
went there, not with that faithful guard which, by following
the King into exile, subjected itself to all the chances of a
new emigration ; but, according to his own avowal, when the
cause of Napoleon seemed to be lost. He went when the
armies were in presence of each other. If, therefore, there is
any man in France, whom the public voice can con-
scientiously condemn for taking the journey to Ghent, that
man is M. Guizot. The truth is, that this man, so pure, so
austere, had advanced towards revolution on the eve of the
ordonnances, since on the following day he was placed in the
Ministry by the-insurrection, in spits of the oath which
bound him to the King, whose imprescriptible rights M.
Guizot had declared in his writings."
The Journal des Dibats of Sunday publishes the
following articles of the new constitution of Greece,
as drawn-up by the Commission of the National As-
sembly :
" The reigning religion is that of the orthodox church of
the East. The Greek Church with regard to doctrine and
spiritual affaira is united to the Christian Church of Con-
stantinople, but on civil matters it is independent, and will
be governed by a holy synod. There is, nevertheless, liberty
of worship.
" All citizens are equal before the law. Individual liberty
is inviolable.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.
Thanks to Mr. Webster, the English playgoing
public have at length an opportunity afforded to them
of hearing the most original comic singer that Eng-
land has ever produced. Mr. John Parry last even-
ing commenced an engagement, of four nights only,
and gave us two of his exquisitely humourous—songs
we will not call them—but musical comedies ; for
which we live, then are Mr. John
Parry's if a comedy be a delineation of the manners of the
ti
performances comedies, albeit they
may be in five stanzas instead of five acts,
and although the dramatis person are repre-
sentedamrers,s in
by himself and his piano, for the piano on
which he accompanies himself becomes a most ex-
completely gentlemanly comic singer we
pressive and humorous coadjutor in his hands. He
hisaNt'lleeele only
have with—he possesses the richest vein of
humour with the most polished manners imaginable.
To those who have never seen or heard him we
scarcely know how to convey an idea of his singularly
original style—he iR a true English buffo,
as
a b
thoroughly English as Lablache is Italian, and yet
as perfect uffo. Let our readers imagine a musical
