FROM TIIE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.

TlMES.—Thanks, we must say, to Sir R. Peel, lies. Diiles's
motion seems to be bringing the political world again into
" inextricable confusion." All was going on as smoothly as
a Gravesend steamer—the Conservative Ministry swinging
along with fair wind and fine weather, and suddenly we are
in the midst of a thunder storm. First comes a flash from
the House of Lords, then a clap from the House of Commons,
and now we don't know what black cloud may burst on our
heads. Inauspicious rumours of resignation are heard and
are contradicted ; mysterious meetings of the Cabinet Coun-
cil, and quarrelsome meetings of the Carlton Club, appear
and disappear, and Sir Robert Peel utters grave and signifi-
cant sentences, not wholly easy of interp:etation, but which
appear to indicate a determination to carry his measure, or
retire from office. "Be the consequences what they may,"
he says, " the Government will abide by its original propo-
sition." Sir R. Peel seems suddenly to have found out how
much more difficult it is to give up his own present will than
the past principles of a party. Twelve years ago, in spite of
the determined opposition of that Right Hon. Gentleman
and those who adhered to him, the Reform Bill shifted
the whole basis of political power in this country. Sir
Robert was among the first to proclaim and exemplify
the necessity of adaptation to the new state of things.
What others impatiently bemoaned he accepted without loss
of time as a "fait accompli." Nothing was more remarkable
than the skill and rapidity with which he divested himself
of those " old Tory" associations and rules of policy to
which less pliant spirits clung with unavailing affection, but
Which were palpably incompatible with any permanent
tenure of power under the new order of things. While
others were linhiNing dreams of reversing the past he was
engaged in adapting-himself to the future—in ridding himself
of the now obsolete principles among which his youth had
been passed—in framing his thoughts, words, and arguments
in accordance with the fresh basis of Government and the
wiltof the nuwconsti,-mennv, .Aiid.wl4,l.s this new order
of things to wLich Sir Robt-CA eP so proiniilly transferred
his allegiance? The Reform Bill has almost annihilated the
ancient battalion of pure Ministerial boroughs. The Reform
Bill supposed every voter to be a politician, and every repre-
sentative directly responsible to the judgments of his consti-
tuents. In part it has made them so, and a large frac-
tion . at least of the Nouse of Commons can no longer
plunge through thick and thin at the dictum of a party
leader. The Reform Bill has broken up and equalised par-
ties. The great Liberal and Conservative parties are, after
all, so nearly balanced in the House and in the country, and
each is composed of materials so heterogeneous, that it is
impossible to foretel what secession of a particular interest or
party the circumstances of the day may produce, or how
such a secession may affect the ordinary Ministeral majority.
This may be very troublesome to Premiers and whippers-in,
but it is an unquestionable and unavoidable fact ; and, as
such, those who administer the affairs of the country must
submit to it. They must obey to rule. They must "stoop
to conquer." This necessity of conciliating "the public,"
as represented by the House of Commons, Sir Robert Peel
saw clearly enough at a distance, and he modified his own
course of policy and compelled his adherents—very much
against the grain, to modify theirs accordingly. His conces • •
sions at the expense of his friends have been only limited by
his apprehension of losing their support. As far as their
interests and feelings are concerned he has shown a
most determined anxiety to adapt his administration
to the altered circumstances of the country and the House of
Commons. But now comes his own turn. An adverse de-
cision of the House of Commons—of that body of whose pri-
vileges he is the unfailing champion—to whose regulations
he exacts the most implicit deference—to whose service he
has consecrated his life—whose author ity he identifies with
that of the British nation—this decision comes to test the
genuineness of his devotion, and to try whether he is as ready
to sacrifice to its authority his own crotchets as the principles
and prejudices of his party. What does he say? " That, be
the consequences what they may, the Government will abide
by their original proposition." And why? Because, unim-
portant though the question may be, it may prove a prece-
dent of future independence. It is no conscientious scruple—
no generous compassion—no ancient party tie—no great
national interest which arms the hand of the Minister
against his former idol ; it is simply this—that he
will not allow the House its way now, for fear it
should ask to have its way again. He will yield nothing,
simply because he is determined to be absolute. Truly
said Mr. D'lsraeli that there was at least one slavery from
which Sir Robert would admit of no emancipation that
which existed on the Ministerial benches. He again de-
mands that the House of Commons should stultify itself. He
again demands an abject recantation as the price of having
dared to exercise against his will a right of judgment given
—nay, rather enforced upon them—by the constitution which
he recognises. He seems wholly to have forgotten all that
the last twelve years should have taught him—to imagine
himself again transported to the days of Pitt or Liverpool,
and to enact the same crouching deference that a Walpole
could fairly require from one whose constituency had its mar-
ket price in gold, and his vote in sinecures. And what is
worse, the House appears to acquiesce in the demand, and
patiently to atone for its short-lived assertion of independence
by a double portion of such penance as its master enjoins.
This may do for a moment—nay, possibly for a Parliament ;
but it is for the Members of the House of Commons to con-
sider whether their constituencies will take exactly the same
view of their docility as the Premier, to whose menaces they
are so sensitively obedient.

HERALD.—Sir Robert Peel' last night explained in full
the course which Ministers' 'Mead 'JO take With- regard to the
sugar duties. It is, in a few words, to leave the colonial
duties to be discussed next year, when the Property-tax
Bill shall have expired. Sir Robert Peel, when he asked for
the property-tax as necessary to restore the finances of the
country, and to secure public credit, asked fur the tax for
three years only. The limitation implied a promise that, as
far as should depend upon Ministers, the Parliament would,
at the end of three years, be in a condition to dispense with
the property-tax, if it should think fit; any measure, there-
fore, on the part of the Government calculated materially to
diminish the revenue of the country, so as to render a renewal
of the property-tax indispensable at the three years' end,
would be a gross violation of faith ; the reduction of the
tariff does not come under this description only because the
tariff and property-tax were proposed and adopted together,
making parts of one financial system thoroughly understood
in all its parts when the implied pledge was given. This is
quite plain and indisputable as regards the pledge and its
accompaniments. Now the vote of Friday night is a direct
surrender of 600,000/. per annum of revenue, and, to deal
impartially, a surrender of equal amount must be
made to each of many other interests. What,
then, would become of Sir Robert Peel's pledge
not to cause the renewal of the property-tax to be
indispensable in 1845? Men may complain that the resist-
titmice of the NI inisters to the vote of Friday is arbitrary and
imperious ; but every one has a right to be arbitrary and
imperious in resisting a call to sully his personal honour, and
' the Minister who would break faith with Parliament and
with the country must sully his personal honour. Sir Robert
Peel, no doubt, compassionates the condition of the West
India planters, and would gladly relieve them; but justice is
due before generosity, and to keep faith is an essential part
of justice. And what are the claims of the West India
planters to a surrender of 600,000/. per annum of revenue?
They were paid 20,000,000/. sterling for their slaves, and if
this payment was inadequate, it was not the fault of the
British Government or of the people of England, but the
fault of the planters themselves; and since the passing of the
Emancipation Act they have largely participated in every
relief extended to the distress of the people. No
class of the Queen's subjects benefited so much as
the West Indians did by the provisions of the tariff. To come,
however, to the true cause of the decay of West, India pro-
perty. Up to the period of the abolition of the slave trade in
1807, the plantation trade of the West Indies was carried on
upon the hypothesis that any quantity of slave labour might
be had for money. Little care, consequently, was bestowed
upon the lives and health of negroes, and none upon their
morals. The abolition of the slave trade struck the first
blow at the plantation trade. The produce of the islands
began to decline, and in a few years after the abolition it was
necessary to admit East India sugar into competition. This
ought to have warned the planters, that as they were de-
prived of the foreign supply they must endavour, by reform-
ing the morals of their slaves, to provide a native increase of
labour. They, however, neglected the warning, and things
had become so much worse, that in fact when they received
20,000,000/. ten years ago, it all passed into the hands of cre-
ditors. Let it not, then, be pretended that the Emancipation
Act caused the ruin of the West Indians—the seeds
of ruin were sown long before. One fact is decisive. In
1832 the West Indies exported about 450,000,000 cwt. of
sugar to Europe; in 1842 but 250,000,000 cwt.; this decline
occurring when the West India trade was protected to a
complete monopoly by a differential duty of 635. the cwt.
Now, we ask every man of common sense what reduction of
duty can save a country so circumstanced.? Sweep away
the last farthing of duty, and the progress of decline must
continue, recording to the present tendency of the popula-
tion, until the West Indies shall not send a single hogshead
of sugar to Europe. -The strangest part of the late coalition
is that some agriculturists seem to make common cause with
the West Indians, though the case of the agriculturists is not
merely different, but a contrast. The agriculturists claim
protection, and justly claim it, because in their case protec-
tion is proved to promote both population and production ;
and the very moment when, by the accident of the seasons,
their produce becomes insufficient then protection disappears.
For the agriculturists to make common cause with the West
Indians, is to embark their stock wantonly and knowingly
in a sinking ship.
POST.—Last night the Government proposition, which
was negatived on Friday by a majority of 20, was virtually
affirmed by a majority of 22. The numbers were-233 for
Mr. Miles's motion, and 255 against it. This decision%;il!
create no astonishment. It appears to be the. established
rule, that, when the Minister threatens to resign,
of theen-
lightened men who compose the present House Commons
shall on Monday vote that to be white, which,
pre-
vious Friday, they voted to be black. This rule on the
lhasofbetra
followed now, and the fact settles the consistency
House of Commons as satisfactorily as Sir R. Peel did his
own in his speech oflast evening. What the constituents of Hon.
Gentlemen may think on the subject is another question.
In the natural course of events they will, at no very distant
period, have an opportunity of expressing their opinion;
and it is just possible that their consistency may also be
shown in a reversal of their former votes. We are quite
satisfied to bide our time; we have not the vanity to think
we can say will be half so effective as what
electoral hody can do. In the mean while, the fate of
the
eat anything
the West Indians is sealed by the triumph of the Minister.
They have no longer the poor-satisfaction of thinking that
4i another such triumph will ruin him." The deed is already
done.

Field, aged 78 years, was buried at St. Nicholas Ash, next
Winghani. Fur many years he carried on the business of
collar and harness maker in Ash-street. Forty-six years
since he planted a slip of elder in his garden, and, in his own
words, had " lived to see it grow to a large tree," under
whose shadow he oft. enjoyed himself with his pipe and cup
of wine, vinted from its berries—and this was his only me-
dicine. But, " man must and as Michael thought he

of Waterloo during the engagement, there are now connected
with our regiments comparatively few Waterloo officers. The;
regiments composing tli cavalry on the occasiorOdgether
with the officers present at the battle, and now connected
with them, are as follow :—The Ist Life Guards now com-
manded by Viscount Combermere, at present numbers but
two Waterloo officers, viz., Adjutant Anderton, and Quarter-
master Falconer. The 2d Regiment of Life Guards, which also.
figured at Waterloo, and during the Peninsular war, does not
now contain amongst its ranks a single Waterloo officer.
.The
Royal Horse Guards (Blues) are now commanded by the
Marquis of Anglesey, who was present, as also were the
Major of the regiment, E. W, Bouverie, Esq., Captain G.
Smith, and J. Siddall, Esq, the veterinary surgeon, The
other cavalry regiments were the Ist Dragoon Guards, the
Ist (Royal) Dragoons, the 2d (Royal North Briton) Dra-
goons, the 6th (InnAilling) Dragoons, the 7th (Queen's
Own) Hussars, the 10th (the Prince of Wales) Hussars, the
11th or Prince Albert's Own Hussars of which the Colonel,
the Earl of Cathcart and Major Joseph R. Rotton, were pre-
sent; the 12th or Prince of Wales' Lancers, the 13th Light
Dragoons, the 15th Hussars, the 16th Lancers, and the Royal
Regiment of Artillery.
The infantry was composed of the Grenadier Guards, now
commanded by his Grace the Duke of Wellington, the Cold-
stream Guards, now commanded by his Royal Highness the
Duke of Cambridge; the Scots Fusilier Guards, now com-
manded by his Royal Highness Prince Albert; • the Ist
(Royal) Foot, now commanded by Sir George Murray; the
4th (king's Own); the 14th (Buckinghamshire); the 23d

the 52d (Oxfordshire) ; the 69th (South Lincoln); the. 71st
Highlanders, the 73d and 79th Cameron Highlanders ; the
92d Highlanders, and the Rifle Brigade.
The only officers (now in the service) of the Ist Dragoon
Guards who was present at Waterloo is, the Adjutant,.
Richard Hollis, Esq.. who was appointed July 8, 1836. The
officers present of the Ist Royal Dragoons, and now con-
nected with the corps, are Colonel Sir Arthur B. Clifton,
Lieutenant-Colonel T. Martin, and Quartermaster Partridge.
Although the Inniskilling Dragoons bore a prominent part
in the battle, there is not a single officer now in the regi-
ment who was present. Such is the case also with .the 7th
Hussars. Sagan ..-Winterscale and Quartermaster' Nelson
are the only gentleino belonging to the 2d, or Royal North
British Dragoons, present. The Waterloo officers of the 10th
Hussars are Lieut.-Col. Vandeleur, Major J. C. Wallington,
