" However, we have many documents-to collect, for
we must show to the Jury all the manifestations of the
opinion
of France, and of the European press, on the
subject of the requisition of Al. Habert. We are already
engaged in collecting these materials, and we shall appear
if our defence is ready. We shall not ask for an ad-
journment, unless the short time allowed us should not
have been sufficient."

The Committee on the Address asked the Government
to communicate the treaty on the right of search. This
communication (says the Constitutionnel) has been re-

DEATH OF THE DOWAGER LADY LEIGH..
TON.—We have to announce the demise of her Ladyship,
which took place at Bath on Saturday last. Her Lady-
ship, who was fourth daughter of the late Sir John
Thomas Stanley, Bart., of Alderley, was sister of Lord
Stanley, of Alderley, and the resent Bishop of Nor-
wich, and aunt of the Hon. E. J. Stanley, the late Se_
cretary of the Treasury, and the Hon. W. 0. Stanley,
ALP. The deceased lady married on the 25th of No-
vember, 1802, the late General Sir Baldwin Leighton,
Bart., by whom her Ladyship had issue the present
Baronet and several other children.

Corn-law movement, because they have gone
beyond it, and have become alienated from all
our institutions. Scotchmen must have much
changed their character if words be not with
them most important things, and if they be, let
the reader seriously reflect, whether such men
will long submit to be starved by a great na-
tional sin, to sustain for a few years longer the
doomed, the bankrupt, and worthless aristocracy
of Ireland and England. There is, we repeat,
for the tenth or twentieth time, great danger of
a commotion, which will prostrate in the dust
all our institutions, even the present right of
property, should justice not be speedily done to
the suffering and starving people.
Having said so much to direct public attention
to the general character of the meeting, and its
general indications, we must expressly direct the
attention of all Corn-law advocates to the speech
of Mr. HOPE, a farmer of East Lothian. We
apprehend that he is a somewhat better autho-
rity than my Lord WILLIAM RUSSELL, or the
Editor of any London Journal, for the influence
of the abolition of the Corn-laws, particularly as
he gives the data on which his opinion is
founded ; and we learn with much pleasure, but
without surprise, that he believes the abo-
lition would throw no land out of cultiva-
tion. We know that there are other in-
telligent agriculturists -who take the same
view of this matter as Mr. HOPE, and maintain,
with him, that competition is necessary to get
the English agriculturists out of very slovenly
and expensive habits of cultivation, We believe,
too, that such opinions are gaining ground
amongst intelligent men, and that a great num-
ber agree with him, that no class of men would
gain so much by the abolition of the Corn-laws
as the actual cultivators of the soil.

The Puseyites, alarmed at the flame which
they have kindled in the University of Oxford,
by putting forward Mr. WILLIAMS .for the Pro-
fessorship of Poetry, are now anxious to with-
draw their candidate, and are using every
means
,to induce the Garbettites to come
to an amicable arrangement on the subject.
A requisition to this effect has been drawn up and
signed by 244 non-residents, among whom are
five Bishops out of the seven who are members
of Convocation; but Lord As EILEY, the Chairman,
and Mr. GREGSON, the Secretary of Mr. GAR^
BEres Committee, properly turn a deaf ear
to the insidious scheme, and will admit no impu-
tation on the religious principles of their can-
didate.

" Let the galled jade wince ; our withers are unwrung."
The excitement now existing, has arisen
from circumstances over which they had,
and can exercise no control, and should
they withdraw their candidate, they have
no security against the recurrence of similar
difficulties. They, in fact, treat their opponents
as rank Jesuits, who have some sinister purpose
in view, but which they dare not reveal.
What a triumph to sincere Roman Catholics,
who, when " railed at" by these men,
" railed not again," to find them distrusting
one another, like the treacherous leaders of bar-
barous armies. The watch-word of the Gar-
bettites is "No surrender;" and a contest,
therefore, must take place. The names of „the
five Bishops are—R. OXFORD, H. EXETER,
C. T. RIPON, E. SARUM, and T. V. SODOR and
MA N.

With the French Journals of 'Wednesday we
have received a report of the proceedings, up to
post hour on that day, in the Chamber of Peers,
on the Address in answer to the Speech from the
Throne, of which an interesting summary will be
found in another part of The Sun. These pro-
ceedings are remarkable, as showing that
not a single Peer raised his voice against the
domestic tyranny of the Government. On the
contrary, all parties seemed to agree that the
Press could not be too much restrained; that
public opinion could not be too tightly restricted ;
that the dungeon and the guillotine could not be
too often called into requisition to crush the
murmurs of the discontented; and that the
Government had nothing to fear, so long
as it sacrificed the poor to the interests
of men of property. As compared with
the Peers generally, M. GUIZOT and his col-
leagues are patterns of moderation. Not a
Peer ascended the tribune who did not appear
eager to convince France, that, if in office, his
little finger would be thicker than the loins of
the GUIZOT Cabinet—that if the Ministers chas-
