LONDON, THURSDAY, JUN E 20, 1844.

The discussions in the Commons last evening were
brief, but full of interest. They showed the utter
helplessness of the Conservative Government in that
State which is vulgarly supposed to represent the
interests of the peole. On the order of the day being
moved, by Mr. S. O'BRIEN, for the House going into
Committee on the Vestries in Churches Bill, Mr.
HumE moved that it be committed that day six months.

Sir JAMES GRAHAM was in favour of the Bill, and
Mr. T. DtnscomßE thought that circumstance the best
argument against it, as everything the Right Hon.
Baronet touched was doomed to ruin. The effect of
the Protection afforded by Sir JAMES GRAHAM was
like that of the upas tree—it poisoned all it reached.
On a division, there was a majority of 14 for going,
into Committee.
_ _

Mr. ... TT ...UNlE,ontlis result, moved the adjournment
aI
of the House. amusing discussion followed, for
to►
which we refer the report. Sir R. PEEL and the
SOLICITOR-GENERAL
though they admitted
a piovkisei in support of the Bill,
some amendments
on would be
a necessary. Another
was took place, on Mr.
Humes motion, which
rejected by a majority
or 8.

On Mr. lIUME intimating that he
adjournment on adjournment, Mr. 14 moved
that the House adjourn, when, according to the
report, there was a roar of " ayes," and the House
broke up, amidst shouts of laughter, at Seven o'clock,

.
The conduct of the House of Commons in its two
divisions, on the amendment moved by Mr. PHILIP
MILES on the Sugar Duties Bill, has literally been
marked by "double dealing." In our paper of yes-
terday we showed that, whatever difference of opinion
might exist as to the proposed amended scale of duty
suggested by the Hon. Member for Bristol, the vote
of Friday night last clearly repudiated the scale set
forth by the Government, in the first clause of this
new Bill. Now the vote of Tuesday night as clearly
repudiated the amendment of Mr. MILES, and af-
firmed the original proposal of Government. If
in Committee of the whole House, on the
night of the 14th June, a majority of 20 Members
out 462, then present and dividing, determined
that the words which Mr. MILES had called upon
them to expunge, in order to make room for those of
his amendment, should not stand part of the original

clause, it is utterly impossible for men of common
consistency and plain understanding to conceive, to
understand, how, on the night of the 17th, a majority
of 22 members out of 488, then and there sitting—a
similar Committee—could have brought themselves to
decide that the same words should stand part of such
clause. The common sense of such self-contra-
diction is as hard to perceive as its common honesty;
and both the one and the other of these quilities—
if the proceedings adopted really possess them—
it is as hard to detect, as it would be to define the
" privilege of Parliament." Perhaps, of that lex non
seri pta —that undefined and undefinable right of
violating its own pretensions in any given number of
cases, and vindicating them in any other given num-
ber—that right which insists on slumbering at its
own pleasure in one gallery, and being alive and
militant in another—dead as to the reporters for the
newspapers, alive against all the rest of mankind—of
that right, this title to enact self-stultification nay be
part and parcel. But to any other than mere Parlia-
mentary apprehensions, it will be thought to have
resulted, as the affair under our consideration, in
one of the most pitiful exhibitions of vacil-
lating, timid, subservient, puerile, capricious
legislation, ever recorded in the annals of a de-
liberative assembly. How the 20 minority
of Friday expanded into the majority of 22
of Monday, we do not stop to inquire. It may have
been a compromise—it may have been a bargain—it
will never be thought an honest vote. It may have
been a " quid pro quo," agreed to be contributed by
one section of the House to her MAJESTY'S Ministers,
in return for the aid afforded by Ministers to that sec-
tion on some former occasion. A condition of
things the reverse of this may really account for the
strange comment of Monday's division on Friday's
debate, and its consequences. The Ministry may have
agreed to assist the section, in gratitude for former
services, by adhering to this one scheme of duty, at
the risk even of their longer tenure of office. Be
this as it may—whatever party was to provide the
" quid pro quo"—the division lists proclaim clearly
enough that the 17th of June was the " day of dupes ;"
and we are much mistaken if public opinion does not
pass upon the party comedy enacted at St. Stephen's,
a much severer verdict of condemnation than it has
pronounced on its dramatic contemporary of that
name at the Haymarket theatre.
That Sir ROBERT PEEL should have brought him-
self to the intrepid purpose of calling upon the House
of Commons to cancel, and abjure, and disavow the
solemn decision they had come to, after mature de-
bate, in the face of the country, just two-and-seventy
hours before; may astonish those who only contrast
the coolness of such a request with the usual deco-
rous propriety of the most plausible of Premiers. It
does not surprise us, who have a lively recollection of
the frolics of this factory legislator. That Sir Ro-
BERT PEEL should have relied upon the precedent of
Lord ALTIIORP'S more manly and straightforward
appeal to the Commons, to reconsider their vote for
extinguishing the Malt-tax, is intelligible enough, on
the ground that the egotistical complacency of the
Right Hon. Member for Tamworth may easily over-
look the somewhat startling disproportion of his own
popularity in the House to that of the honest Whig
Chancellor of the Exchequer ; but that the House
of Commons, not content with its perilous departure
from sound and constitutional practice, in the case of
the Malt-tax, and at the prayer of Lord ALTHORP,
s'.loulcl have been induced to hazard a similar experi-
ment, on the motion of Sir ROBERT PEEL., under the
circumstances of the debate, and the terms and
object of Mr. Muss's amendment, is an event that
must have mocked all previous anticipations of reason-
able men. We have reason to suppose that it amazed
no man so utterly as Sir ROBERT PEEL himself!
On the merits of the main question between the Go-
vernment scheme of duties and Mr. MiLss's, we do
not offer, at present, any opinion ; but we cannot
refrain from observing, that if ever a speech, by its
proverty, its feebleness, its irrelevancy ; its tone of
dictation to one great party; its attempted intimida-
tion of another, by a hollow menace of resigning
office in the event of defeat to the Ministerial project ;
was calculated to ruin the cause it was meant to ad-
vocate, it was the lamentable address of the Right
Honourable Baronet to the Committee on Monday
last. To reconcile its own concurrence in such a
sacrifice of consistency and opinion to the deficiencies
a plea that, in all respects of force, argument, and ex-
pression, has been allowed on all hands to have been
the most signal failure of which Sir ROBERT was ever
guilty, must now form the pleasing occupation of the
miserable majority of Monday night. To reconcile
the respect, the sympathy, or the confidence of the
British people, with the shipwreck it has made of its
public spirit, its moral consistency, and its constitu•
tional independence, will be the more difficult task o
the House of Commons.

The Herald of yesterday observes, in reference

to the late extraordinary divisions in the House of
Commons on the subject of the Sugar Duties :—" It
is not the least of the good consequences which we
may anticipate from the debate and division of Mon-
day night, that there can be no longer any misunder-
standing among Conservatives. The footing on which
the Ministers and the party are reciprocally to stand

in future is now clearly laid down, and it is manifestly
the wise and honourable footing. Ministers disclaim
the design or the wish to dictate to the Conserva-
tives; but in turn they declare that they will not
submit to dictation from the party ; still less to dic-
tation from any fragment of the party, whether
strengthened or not by an alliance with an old known
enemy." Our Contemporary then proceeds to
quote, with marked satisfaction, the substance of
a declaration recently made by Sir ROBERT PEEL in
Parliament to the following effect:—" I have taken
office to preserve the institutions of the country, and
to repair and adapt, where amendment and adapta-
tion may seem to be necessary to their preservation.
Combinations between those who support me and
those to whom we have always been opposed, may
compel me to resign office when I can no longer use-
fully occupy it ; but they shall not cause me to forget
what I owe to my duty and my own honour." This
leclaration of the Premier, as well as the remarks of
the Herald, are expressed in the smoothest and most
guarded language, so as to convey an emphatic hint
without shocking in the slightest degree what little
sense of independence may still linger among the
Conservative party; still their meaning is quite
sufficiently obvious, and, when stripped of the
specious drapery of words in which it is pur-
posely clothed, amounts to neither more nor less than
this—namely, that on no pretext whatsoever will the
Premier acknowledge the right of the Conservatives
to speak or vote against him on any questions which
ilmay suit his views to bring forward. As their re-
oognised leader it is their bounden duty to submit
their will to his, and cheerfully obey his behests, no
matter how irreconcilable they may be to their own
notions of what is just and polite. True, they may
eject him from office, if it so please them ; he is con-
siderate and condescending enough to concede their
right to exercise this privilege; but so long as they
profess to be supporters of his general system of
policy, so long must they accord him an unhesitating
obedience, otherwise he will take the earliest oppor-
tunity of remembering—to quote his own words—
" what I owe to my duty and my own honour"—the
plain English of which is, that on the next
symptom of disaffection, or coldness, or mutiny,
that may appear in the Conservative ranks, the Pre-
mier will punish the delinquent party by resigning
the seals of office, and thereby become the instrument
of bringing in their old enemies, the Whigs. Hence-
forth, it is clear that there can be 'no mistake as to
the nature of the compact between Sir ROBERT PEEL
and the Conservatives. The one is to issue his com-
m

ands, and the others are to obey them without
hesitation. Anything like an adherence to conscien-
tious principle, on the part of the latter, is to be
wholly out of the question. The old, hacknied system
of governing by party—and by party exclusively,
without reference to higher considerations—is still to
be maintained in all its pristine rigidness. Now, we
had hoped that the Reform Bill, which created such
a revolution in polities, would have had the
gradual effect of doing away with this worn-
out system ; and that, warned by the failure of
the Whigs, who were too often influenced by mere
manly party prejudices, Sir ROBERT PEEL would have
adopted a more and comprehensive course of
action, and in bringing forward his public measures,
have trusted for support solely to their efficiency, and
not to the mere votes of his Conservative supporters
But, instead of adapting himself to the altered cha-
racter of the times, he hue preferred to continue the

old system, and rely on the blind obedience of a
party, rather than on the free suffrages of the people,
for support. The consequence is, that he has re-
duced the Conservatives to the humiliating alternative
of either becoming the abject tools of his will, or else
of hurling him from office, and so running their heads
against the brick-wall of Whiggery.

Madrid papers of the 11th state that the conferences
between the Finance Minister and certain loan con-
tractors still continued, and some of them add that
the parties were not likely to come to terms. The
fact is the Government is bankrupt, and can give no
security either for the payment of interest or princi-
pal without annulling some previous contract, and
thereby lowering still farther public credit. Letters
from Barcelona announce that the French Minis-
ter was urging the Government to reduce the
tariff duties, and that he would probably be suc-
cessful. Mr. BuLwEit had a long conference with
the Marquis of VILUMAL on the 10th, which was
said to refer to the same subject. The Court still
remained at Barcelona, where the Turkish Ambas-
sador had an interview with the QUEEN, and presented
his credentials.

The Three per Cents. were done at 27 26i for cash
and 27i at 60 days, and the Five per Cents. at 20i al
50 days.

We learn from the Paris papers that the differ-
' ences between France and Morocco will in all pro-
bability be amicably arranged. According to accounts
from Algiers of the 10th instant, the EMPEROR had
disavowed the conduct of the chief who had at-
, tacked the French troops, and the affair was con-
sidered at that place, as settled. The French Go-
vernment however intend to demand something more
than an apology, and will require the EMPEROR to
give a guarantee that he will no longer afford a
refuge to ABD-EL-KADER, when driven from Algeria.
This, we believe, was the main object of the expedi-
tion to the frontier, under the command of General
LAMORICIERE. The Journal des Debats contains an
article on the subject, which, from all accounts, ex-
presses the sentiments of the Government. " War,"
it says, " has not been declared by either party. A
corps of Morocco troops has, it is true, committed
an act of aggression on the French territory, but there
is every reason to believe that this act will be fol-
lowed by the most prompt reparation. The chief of
that empire cannot have the presumption to provoke
hostilities, the issue of which cannot be doubtful.
If he should fancy that he can rely upon the aid of
other forces than his own, upon the support of a
foreign Power, we are convinced he will very quickly
be undeceived. However this may be, even though
the aggression upon the French frontier, may prove
to have been no more than an act of indiscipline, com-
mitted by fanatical soldiers, the Government of the
country to which they belong is responsible, and must
bear the consequence. A provocation of this nature
cannot be suffered to remain unpunished, and the
Consul-General of France at Tangiers has been in-
structed to demand the most complete reparation.
This, we do not doubt, the Government of Morocco
will at once grant, knowing well that it cannot resist
its being enforced. France does not wish to make
reprisals, being sufficiently assured of her own
strength to render any such useless exertion of it
necessary. When demanding reparation for this ag-
gression, the French Government will also take mea-
sures to prevent a renewal of such acts. It will not
suffer its frontier to remain exposed to the incursions of
bands of fanatics, whose chiefs cannot restrain them,
and will insist upon the recal into the interior of Mo-
rocco of those troops which now occupy the province
which adjoins the Oudjah. But the principal com-
plaint France has to make is against the protection
which AIiD-EL-KADER finds on the frontier ofMorocco.
France will no longer tolerate the making the fron-
tier of a neighbouring country an asylum for the
most dangerous enemy to her domination in Africa.
She cannot—she will not suffer that the EMIR should
after every defeat find not only an inviolable refuge
in a neutral territory, but come forth from it again
after every defeat with renewed forces and other
resources, under the abusive protection of an inter-
national right daily violated. The French Govern-
ment will insist upon the Emperor of MOROCCO,
entering into the most unequivocal engagements, to
repel ABD-EL-KADER from his territories, and the
Morocco Government will find this the surest means
of avoiding that war which France does not seek, but
into which she may be driven."
This is all very fair no doubt; but if the French
Government had acted towards Spain on the same
principle, NARVAEZ and the other refugees, including
Queen CHRISTINA would not have overturned the
Government of ESPARTERO. The Prince DE JOIN.
VILLE left Paris on Monday morning for Toulon. A
letter from that place of the 12th, says a telegraphic
dispatch, "has been received to-day at the Maritime
Prefecture with orders to recal immediately from
the Islands of Hyeres the Suffren, of the line, and
have her fitted out with all dispatch for the reception
of a Rear-Admiral and his flag. This Rear-Admiral,
we learn, is the Prince DE JOINVILLE, who is expected
at Toulon about the 25th, to take the command of the
squadron destined for the coasts of Morocco."
On Monday a discussion took place in Committee
on the Education Bill, which the Government intend
to press forward this session. There seems, however,
to be a strong feeling against it in the Chamber, as
being too favourable to the Church, for of the nine
Members selected to report upon the Bill only two of
them are supporters of Government, and seven are
determined friends of the University, namely, MM.
TRIERS, ST. MARC GIRARDIN, SALVANDY, RE-
MUSAT, QUINETTE, ODILON BARROT, and the elder
D vriN.

The Courrier Francais states that M. MARTIN
(du Nord) and M. LACAVE LAPLAGNE are to leave
the Ministry, the one to become President of the
Court of Requests, the other " Procureur-General du
Cour des Comptes," and that their removal will give
rise to the following changes :—M. DUCLIATEL, the
present Minister of Justice, to succeed M. LACAVE
LAPLAGNE as Minister of Finance, and M. DUMON,
the present Minister of Public Works, to become
Minister of Justice. M. VITET to be Minister of
Public Works, and M. DE MONTALIVET to be Mi-
nister of the Interior.

MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—The total
number of deaths during the week ending June 15,
was 855—average for the last five years, 946. In the
first class of diseases, called zvmotic, which includes
small-pox, measles, scarlatina, &c., there is a consi-
derable increase, the number being 194, while the
average is 178. In nearly all the other cases there is
a decrease. Deaths from small-pox are unusually
great, the average being 15, while last week they
amounted to 47, and of these 46 had not been vacci-
nated. Among the unvaccinated are reckoned a fe-
male, aged 11 months, who was " vaccinated only 10
days before death ;" a female, aged 3 years, who had
been " vaccinated 3 times without effect;" and a male,
aged 6 years, who had been " vaccinated with doubt-
ful success." Among the vaccinated are included a
male aged 25 years, who " had been vaccinated young
—one indifferent cicatrix ;" and a female, aged 23
years, who had been " vaccinated when 6 years old—
one small cicatrix scarcely perceptible." The deaths
from this disease, occurred at the following ages :
Eleven under 1 year; seventeen, 1-3; three, 3-5 ; seven,
5-10 ; one, 13 ; five, 20-30 ; and three, 30-40 years.
Deaths from consumption,' 136—average 147. The
fallowing is an analysis of the violent deaths
:
Fracture or contusion by falls, 4 cases ; drowning,
7 cases, of which 4 were accidents, 1 suicide, and 2

manslaughter; hanging, 3 cases (suicides) ; suffoca-
tion in bed, 1 case ; and at birth, 1 case. In the re-
maining cases, respectively, "injury," "manslaughter,"
" murder," the means by which death was caused are
not stated—total, 19 cases. The thermometer was
highest on Thursday, the 13th-83.1 ; and lowest on
Tuesday, the 11th, 47.5 degrees. The total amount
of rain for the week is marked at the unusally low
degree of 00"2.

PRESENTATION OF THE DUBLIN PETITION ON THE
LATE STATE TRIALS.—The Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, and
Corporation of Dublin proceeded in State yesterday,
to the House of Commons, for the purpose of pre-
senting the petition of the Dublin Corporation on the
subject of the late State trials in Ireland. Having
presented the petition, his Lordship and the other
members took their seats under the strangers' gallery,
where they remained for about an hour, at the end of
which time they left the House, and returned in pro-
cession.
