LONDON :
MONDAY MORNING, JULY 25, 1842.

Mr. COBDEN alluded, on Friday night, to the veto
lately pronounced by Mr. President TYLER, to the
ordinance recently issued in France, relative to the
duties on linen-yarn, and to the convention which that
country has formed with Belgium, as good reasons
why the House of Commons should now inquire into
• the distress of the country, and the means of relieving
. it. On all hands the distress is admitted to be great;
on all hands it must be agreed, as we have an abun-
' 'dance of manufacturing power, that the distress arises
from the want of markets ; and by no person can it
be denied, that our protective system, by the example
it has set, and by the immediate effects it had on the
United States, Prussia,.and France, has limited and
curtailed our markets. By now inquiring into the
effects of our laws, in excluding us from
foreign markets, we should probably arrive at
the conclusion, that to open our ports to the
raw, produce of the United States, would be the
.certain means of securing that market for our manu-
factures. All the Western States, which have a pre-
•,
▪ ppnderatmg influence in Congress, would be favour-
fr,;, ~able.to a low tariff on manufactures, were their agri-
cultural pro Ince admitted freely into England. That is
WhiCh is susceptible of proof, and as Mr. TYLER'S
veto leaVei the whole. question open, it would be only
y;•)1-11-
• I..prudent in England now to make such alteratious in
her laws as would insure a revision of the United
Mates tariff favourable to the trade with this country.
We hope that Mr. COBDEN, who has started this topic;
will not lose sight of it, but will take other means and
opportunities of bringing it before the House of Coin-
mens. The Parliament of England has yet a noble
opportunity by doing justice to our own people, of
promoting the prosperity and civilization of the western
world, its well as the happiness and glory of Britain.

It is rikmoured that the resolutions to be proposed
by Mr. Roebuck on Thursday will not affect the
seats of John Hobhouse, Mr. C. Russell, Major
Beresford, Mr. Attwood, Mr. B. Cochrane, &c. ; but
certainly, if ever mcri deserved to be expelled the
House of Commons, they deserve it. They have
done all they could •to make representation a mere
farce. • They have bartered away the rights of the
people. We are afraid, however, that Mr. Roebuck
will not go the length of trying to make an example
of them, but will content himself, as we hear is to be
the case, with bringing forward next session a Bill to
reform the representation, grounded on the cases of
grom bribery which the' Hon. and Learned Gentleman
has most distinctly brought before the public.
Mr. Vincent is still going about, we see, promoting
the cause of popular representation. "On Tuesday
evening," says the Derby Reporter,;" the Lecture Hall,
Derby, Was crowded by the middle and working
classes, who were anxious to hear Mr. Vincent, one of
the champions of the Complete Suffrage movement set
a going by Mr. Sturge, and other middle-class pro-
perty men. On and about the platform we noticed
many middle-class men, who joined heartily -in the
applause which many of Mr. Vincent's arguments
elicited. The meeting seemed to excite great interest."
Meetings of the distressed shopkeepers continue to
be held throughout the reanufa:Auring districts. At
such,a
ineetipg, held at Burnley, on this day week,
when the suffering shopkeepers, who have, heretofore
stood:4oof from the suffrage question, came to a reso-
lution to exert themselves to procure for their unrepre-
serned. -fellow, countrymen an organic change in the ,
rep, esentative system. So out of distress will grow

Yesterday morning, about seven o'clock, a fire was
discovered to be raging with great fury, in the fore
cabin of the Jasmine steamer, Capt. Bagott, lying cff
Searle's boat-house, Stangate ; every assistance was
rendered, and with great exertions the flames were
got under ; the whole of the cabin was, however, burnt
out.

FIRE AND EXPLOSlON.—Yesterday morning, about
nine o'clock, a fire, caused by an explosion of some
, chemicel preparation, broke out on the premises of
Messrs. Reece and Co., Chemists, No. 168, Piccadilly.
It appears that a lad was engaged in the front kitchen,
compounding somechemical preparation, when it suddenly
exploded, by the force of which the windows of the kit-
chen were blown out, and the place set on fire, which
was, however, fortunately extinguished, before any very
great damage was done. The boy was severely injured
by the violence of the explosion.
HORRID AND WANTON BARBARITY.—On the night

tails cut off, and having their backs and sides inhumanely
mangled. One of the poor sheep had a shtalder completel
separated from its body, as cleanly and dextelfilltsly es although
an experienced butcher had been at work. A short time before
this barbarous occurrence, it is supposed the same individual
endeavoured to burn the farmer out by setting his premises on
fire ; but the incendiary managed to escape so as not to leave
the slightest trace by which he could be detected. Decisive
measures are in operation for the apprehension of the offender,
and it is to be hoped a reward of 20/., which has been offered,
will ensure his detection.

Mr. HAwES is, undoubtedly, a very rising man,
but we believe he has not, yet been in the Cabinet.
The House of Commons was somewhat surprised,
therefore, on Friday night, to see him rise after Sir
ROBERT PEEL had appealed to her MAJESTY'S late
Ministers, to express their disapprobation of motions of
adjournment, and hear him do as Sir R. PEEL wished, COURT CIRCULAR.

WINDSOR, SUNDAY.—Her Majesty and Prince Albert,
the Prince and Princess of Saxe Coburg, the Prince of
Wales, and the Princess Royal, and the Royal Suite, ar-
rived at the Castle a few minutes after four o'clock yes-
terday afternoon, from the Slough station, escorted by a

illustrious party afterwards went out in pony phaetons
and on horseback into the Great Park.
This morning her Majesty and Prince Albert, the.
Prince and Princess of Saxe Coburg, and the Royal
suite, attended Divine service at the dhapel Royal, St.
George's. The Rev. Mr.. Knyvett took the first part of
the service, and the Hon. and Very Rev. the Dean and
the Rev. Mr. Canning officiated at the altar. The Dean
preached an excellent sermon front the 60th verse of the
119th Psalm, "I made haste, and prolonged not the
time to keep Thy commandments."
