Member for Montrose upon the motion, it was merely
of a technical nature. As regarded her Majesty's
Ministers, he declared that they were most anxious to
extend the means of enjoyment to the humbler classes,
and that they would lose no opportunity of endeavouring
to prevail upon the directors of public establishments to
give the freest possible access to the people. Sir R.
PEEL said that the greatest advantage would result from
allowing the working classes to familiarize their minds
with our national monuments. It ,would refine and im-
prove their minds, and not only restrain them
from low vices, but afford a guarantee for the
stability of our Government and institutions.
With respect to the high charges for admission,
it was argued that they were necessary to
secure the respectability of visitors ; but he under-
Blood that it was not from_the artisans, but the vulgar
rich that injury was to be feared to public exhi-
bitions. The Earl of LINCOLN expressed senti-
ments equally liberal, and such was the unanimity
of the House upon the subject that the lion. Member for
Montrose very prudently withdrew his motion. The
age of cant is happily disappearing. Never within our
recollection did the House of Commons manifest a better
feeling towards the people, or a more earnest wish to
supply their intellectual wants than on Thursday I Ott.

Though agreeing with Mr. Hums in many of his
plans for diminishing public expenditure. and rewarding
officers of the army and navy, not according to their rank
in life, but their merit, it has been our lot to differ with him
cc every occasion when he has grudged to these public
servants an ample reward for their services. On Thursday
he complained of the great number of Captains and
Lieutenants of the navy, and in adverting to one class
said, "Of 2,000 Lieutenants, the average period
since they were last employed was fourteen years
and seven months. What finances can sustain
this ?" The question was put with great naivete,
and must no doubt have excited a smile on the counte-
nances of Whigs as well as Tories, when it is known
that this enormous burden does not exceed 200,0001. p. r
annum, and that many of these brave men had risked
their lives for their country, and that every one of them
might he called upon to face the cannon's mouth for the
small pay of los. a day. In times of peace there must
always be a great number of officers on half-pay, else
what would become Of the country in a case of emer-
gency, and what patriots even could be expected to ex-
pose themselves to death, and their families to want,
fur the mere glory of defeating the enemy ? Let him
look at the hosts of civilians in every department with
salaries from 2001. to LOON. a year and upwards, who
run no risk, who enjoy long lives at ease, in public
offices, and in the bosom of their families, and contrast their
happy condition with that of soldiers and sailors banished
from their country for years, and at the same time ex-
posed to every hardship and danger. Mr. Rusts would
be much better employed if he would turn his attention
to the extravagance of our civil departments, to
the enormous pay of the higher clergy and
Bishops, with all the useless staff of cathedrals, and
exert his laudable industry in cutting down these estab-
lishments to make up the deficient pay of the army and
navy. , We have to maintain forty Bishops and Arch-
bishops, at an expense of more than half a millon ster-
ling a year, taking into account their perquisites and
patronage ; they would live more suitably to their calling
on the one-fifth of this enormous income, nay,
the Presbyterians say they might be dispensed with
altogether ; and could not a Member of Parlia-
ment, therefore, be better employed in devising
measures of economy for this overgrown Church system,
than in attempts to diminish the already too small in-
come of men to whom all look in the hour of danger ?
The people of this country are anxious to see patronage
properly distributed, but Mr. HUME may rest satisfied
that they will turn a deaf ear to any plans for lowering
the income of the worst paid servants of the public.

The French Journals have been received. We have
quoted from their latest intellig,nce all the particulars
of the distressing death of the late Duke of ORLEA.NB.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

PARIS, JULY 14.

There is little to add to the melancholy intelligence
conveyed to you yesterday by express. The Royal
Family, as may lie imagined, are in the greatest afflic-
tion, but the fortitude of the King on this trying occa-
sion is the admiration of every one. The poor Queen
is inconsolable. Neither of them went to rest during
the whole night.

The remains of the late Duke are deposited in the
chapel at Neui/ly. Nothing is yet decided respecting
the funeral. All places of public amusement are closed.
It is understood that next Session a law will be in-
troduced respecting the Regency, which is not provided
for by the Charter.

The July Fetes will not take place this year.

BELGIUM.

BRUSSELS, JULY 13.—The average price of Wheat
last week was 23f. 88c., that of Rye 12f. 45c. Wheat is
therefore exempt from import duty ; and the exporta-
tion of it. for the present, prohibited.
The King and Queen will go on Saturday by the
railway, to be present at the fetes at Liege.
The following reflections of the Commerce Beige draws
the attention of our Provincial Council.

There are at present 37 persons (33 men and 4 women)
confined for debt in the prison of the Petits Carmes.
This number is quite enormous for a population of
120,000 souls, including the suburbs. It is in the pro-
portion of three to 1,000. The House of Clichy; at Paris,
contains, at present, 142 prisoners, which is only 1i to
1,000, in a population of 1,300,000 souls. Comparing
the two cities, Paris should have 330 prisoners confined
for debt. Among the prisoners at Brussels, there is the
mother of four children, and one of them at the breast,
and an old man 72 years of age. When will the Legis-
lature abolish the penalty of imprisonment for debt in
the case of women and old men ?

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
LIVERPOOL JULY MEETING.
Tit trasnaY.—lt has never been our good fortune to witness
a more successful " Cup Day," every thing, in fact, tended
to make it attractive—the list was plethoric, the race was cer-
tain to bring out a large field, and the weather was uninter-
ruptedly fine. Crowds, therefore, flocked to the ground, and
every imaginable description of vehicle was brought into play ;
the stands were full to an overflow ; the betting inclosure is as
thronged, and both sides of the course, from the stable turn to
below the distance-post, were lined six deep. The great event
of the day was the Cnp, and it would have afforded unmingled
gratification but fear the non-appearance of the Knight of the
Whistle. The reason as.igned by public rumour for his
withdrawal is, that " the stable" had been anticipated
in the market by certain persons, who having obtained early
information of the trial, had made use of it to such an extent
that forced the horse up in the betting, and prevented his party
getting on upon favourable terms; hence, that in order to
punish the offenders, it was resoved not to run him, but to
trust to Black Beck and Rhodanthe ' • so goes " public ru-
mour." Whether a trainer having five horses in a race beling-
ing to declared confederates, is bound in honour to start the
one which " the public" may think proper to make first
fisourite, is " an (ien question;" but as that "one" hap-
pened to be on the spot, and well enough to be quoted at 5 to 1
for the Goodwood Stakes, it is clear that the aforesaid " public"
would have been much better pleased had his number been tele-
graphed as a starter; in that case his backers would have had no
excire for giving vent to their chagrio in such angry terms.
The racing began, as advertised, at two o'clock precisely,
and did not finish until late in the evening. The Cup gave an
unexpected increase to the sport, in the shape of a dead beat,
which was not run off until long after all the evening trains
had depa!ted.

The start was beyond c mparison one of the most perfect ever
seen on this or any other course. Under the personal direction
of Lord Geo. Bentinek, twenty in number were wheeled round
and got off at the first attempt so completely abreast that it was
almost impossible to say which was leading for the first
twenty yards. Prince Caradoc then took up the running,
at a moderate pace, followed by Thirsk, Retriever, Cham-
pagne, Una, and Forester, the others in a custer, Vulcan arid
Bhodanthe being in the rear. With scarcely any change they
ran to the bridge turn, where the pace quickened, and Vulcan
and Rhodanthe drew towards the centre, Prince Cara.. oc con-
tinued the running to the last turn, where he resigned it to
Champagne, who was followed cleverly by Pagan, Bellona, and
two or three others, with Vulcan and Rhodanthe
at their heels. At the distance Rhodanthe took the
lead, Vulcan waiting to the stand, where he caught her,
arid it became " heads or tails " for choice. The struggle
home was interest-ng in the extreme, and ended, to the de-
light of the beholders, in a dead heat. Pagan was a mo-
derate third, and Champagne fourth ; Miss Stilton and Bel-
lona were next, but beaten off. The favourite made a sorry
figure in the race. The decidirg heat was run after the
last heat for the Queen's Plate, Vulcan being the favourite
at 2 to 1 ; he made all the running, and, after a splendid
race from the distance, won by a neck, the mare never having
got quite up.

COMPROMISE COMMITTEE.
SOUTHAMPTON.—CLOSE OF THE INQUIRY.
The Committee met yesterday at three o'clock, for the
purpose of considering their Report. When the door
was opened at four o'clock we understood that the Com-
mittee had agreed to their Report, but it was not pub-
licly read.
The substance of it, however, is, that the evidence was
not sufficient to justify the Committee in recommending
the disfranchisement of the borough of Southampton.
No recommendation is to be made as to the issuing or
suspension of the writ, that being left to the discretion
of the House; but the Committee think it might be de-
sirable, if ally measure is to be introduced for the pre-
vention of bribery, that the writ should be suspended
till then.
The Report is not to be brought up till Monday.

SIR R. PEEL AND THE ANTI-
CORN LAW DiJ,EGATES.
TO THE EDITOR (IF THE SUf

Srit,—When I applied the term "sinister " to the manner of
Sir Hebert Peel, during his audience of the Anti-Corn-law
Delegates, I meant to speak of manner only, and to assert that
the beating of Sir Robert. Peel had not the frankness and
singleness with which a deputation of British merchants shou d
have been met by the Prime Minister of this great commercial
country; that, on the contrary, there was a mournful and
constrained consciousness of all this in the bearing of the Min-
ister, and a dissatisfaction at his own position, which firmness,
and impassiveness, and seriousness of countenance, even if they
had been quite maintained, could no more have hidsen, than
the impress of a coin can hide the metal of which it is com-
posed. We admired the command of countenance which the
Morning Chronicle has complimented Sir Robert Peel for
having preserved during his audience of the Anti-Corn-law
Delegates, but we appeal to every Delegate present, whether
the firmness of the impress concealed from any one the colour
of the metal—whether, in a word, Sir Robert Peel did nut
look as if be were pia, in, a part with which he was morally
dissatisfied? That dissatisfaction was not merely the pain of
refusing chrity to a starving beggar, knowing that he may
wink, and need not starve, but it was the pain of-refusing jus-
tice le.:starving operatives and ruined merchants, who only de-
mand to he allowed to work, and sell the produce of then
lab.,Ur for the food they are craving. It was this conviction
which grieved Sir Robert Peel to the conscience, even mire
than to the heart. And when we employ,' the term " sinister "
to describe the impression which all this produced. we b -lieve,
that independently of its being a correct, it is a lair descrip-
tion of tiir Robert Peel's manner. For to have supposed
him to ha‘e received the Delegates of the manufasturieg and
commercial districts with haughty condescension or affected
plausibility, would be to confound his bearing with that
of inferior men. On the contrary there was nothing in Sir R.
Peers manner which was unbecoming his position. It was the
mournful and unsatisfied bearing of a man of sense and feeling,
who has undertaken to refuse the just demands of persons
he both respects and likes, and in whose judgment he desires to
stand well. Lord Stanley might have dismissed the Delegates
haughtily ; Sir James Graham would have received them plau-
sibly ; Sir Robert Peel did neither, and we like hisn ad the
better. And though we felt something of the hysterica passio
when we heard sad accounts of starving operatives and ruined
manu'acturers, and could , of repruss a rising inchgnation at
the policy which refuses obvious and man:fest justice, we were
conscious of never losing sight for a moment of respect for Sir
Robert Peel. We may be blamed for this confession by our
Whig and Radical friends, but the c nviction was strong
upon us, this man understands and feels our commercial dis-
tresses—he cannot, he will not sacrifice the great commercial
interests of the country to the haughty insolence, or cold sel-
fishness, or thoughtless folly of the landowner. And, still as
we looked on that anxious care-worn face, we said, to our-
selves, these details of • the ruin of the manufacturer, and the
n in-ry of the operative, are cutting him to the heart--there is
the impassive feature, but the shade is darkening—unless party
jealousy and party tactics prevent it, Sir Robert Peel will do
justice to the mercantile interests of this country yet.
Well does the pour, dying, Mercurio exclaim—" A curse on
both your Houses !" It is to tie good and true man of all
parties that we look for justice to the merchant and opet alive.
We deprecate their inter, sts and influence bring considered to
belong to any party. We heartily wish this principle were
curried farther. \%'e object. equally to the corrupter amongst
the higher orders, the indifferent amongst the middle orders,
and the corrupted amongst the lower enders. Is the union of
all that is sound in the State impossible? What has
hunger, and wretchedness, and poverty, and despair to do with
party ? It is the fair representation of each of the three great
divisions of society, as well as of the three great parties in the
State, wh:ch we desire to see.

If we had this would either the land, the capital, or the
labriur of the country be sacrificed ? But, if there be not such
union on fair principles of the good men and true, of all ranks
mid parties, for a great and good purpose, it is plain that a
fearful struggle between srlfisb, pat tial, and party interests is
at the eve of occurring. from which no good can possibly come,
but only changi.s of evil.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
A DELEGATE OF THE ANTI-CORN-LAW LEAGUE.

MONEY and COIVIAIERCiAL. NEWS
CITY, FRlllay EVENING
The weak parties having been got rid off, the market, now
that the account has been closed, has again become firm, and
Consols left off at 90/ 903 for Money, and 90i for the Account,
rather an extensive business havirg been done. Bank Stork,
165/ 1661 ; India Stock, 247 249; Exchequer Bills, Old,
48 50 ; New, 46 48 prem.
The prices of Foreign Securities were—Belgian, 101 102 ;

Cents., 1001 1011; Danish, 81 82; and Brazilian, 6.1 66.
Mexican was quoted 351 361.

Great Western 86 87 ; the Half Shares, 61 611 ; South
Western, 601 611; North Midland, 59 60; South Eastern

A communication appeared in The Sun of last evening,
complaining that several fruitless applications had been made
at the Money Order Office for the cash for a post-office order,
in consequence of the country postmaster having neglected to
send " advice" for the receipt of the money to London. If
there be any consolation to be found in the fact, that this par-
ticular party does not stand alone in the grievance, it may he
saSely used, inasmuch as not a day passes without numerous
answers of a similar tendency being received by applicants.
'lsere is no branch of the public service which is more
calculated to benefit the community, and especially the
poorer orders, or the details of which are so badly managed as
this. Much personal inconvenience and
.great loss of time
have to be ensured before the individual in possession of the
order can make his way to the small window, at which it
is to be presented to ars invisible official ; after his ordeal has
been passed, more time is wasted in searching if it be cor-
rect, and ultimately it may be, that owing to the neglect of
persons its the c. untry, whose duty it was to acknowledge
the receipt of the money, the applicant is sent back with the
loss of, generally, nearly an hour consumed in waiting his
turn, with the prospect of a similar occurrence on the text day.
A most ingenious contrivance also has lately been addsd,
apparently for tie sole purpose of adding to the annoyance, in
the shape of a long wooden box, into which those requiring
orders, as well as those wanting payment, are aiike confined;
an open room, with two counters, would have afforded far
greater facilities for business, and done away with the liabilities
of robbery, for the furthering of which the box is so admirably
adapted. When it is remembered that this loss of time falls
chiefly on those parties to whom time is money, the necessity of the
alteration will be clearly seen. Some plan surely might be found
by which all these orders would be payable at any post •office with-
out the necessity for " advice;" any banker's clerk who has been
sufficiently long at business to understand the mere routine of
the office, would be able, in the course of half an hour, to make
such changes as would completely do away with the cause
the present complaint.
The Hibernia packet-ship has brought New York papers, to
the 24th ult., two days later than that previously received, the
chief extracts from which will be fiaind elsewhere. The steam
packet from Boston is now expected hourly.
