There were a few points in the debate on Monday
night, which we think worthy of notice. First, .Lord
DENMAN is reported, in several Journals, to have said
that no State ought to enforce within itself the laws of
another State, which it regarded as unjust. The Lord
Chief Justice instanced the case of the United States,
which refused to give up a person accused of forgery, be-
cause those States regarded forgery as a crime which
ought not to be punished with death. Now, if laws are
not to be enforced because they are not just, on account
of the moral obligation naturally imposed on every man
to be just, it naturally follows that neither ought such
laws to be obeyed. We, therefore, add the authority of
a living Chief Justice to the authority of Chief Justice
BLACKSTONE, to justify our assertion that the Corn-law
is of no validity or authority whatever.
It may be said the law-makers or law interpreters are
the only persons to decide what law should be obeyed.
This we deny, because it would place in the breasts of
the law-makers the power of making and of deciding
the authority and the validity of laws. Who shall de-
cide, then—if the law-makers are not—whether a law
be just or unjust ? We answer, with PALEY, every man
for himself. In fact, to do so is an inalienable function
of the human mind, which no tyranny can destroy. The
Corn-law is unjust, and every man who regards it as
unjust has in that circumstance a sufficient warrant, on
the authority of two Chief Justices, not to obey it, if ho
choose to run the risk of disobedience.

Another point in the debate on Monday, worthy of ob-
servation, was a remark of Lord STANLEY'S, that some-
thing must be done to prevent the ruinous competition
of planters with one another, at Demerara. That asser-
tion implies that the Noble Lord and his colleagues will
endeavour to prevent a similar ruinous competition which
takes place at home. To what degree that will extend
the sphere of the functions of the Government, is one
thing worthy of notice; to what degree the Noble Lord
implies, by his wish to restrain competition, that he is a
disciple of Mr. OWEN, or a Socialist, is another point
which cannot be undeserving of public notice. The
activity of the Noble Lord in such a direction, will very
soon place every portion of society under the Government,
and compel it to provide for the subsistence and happi-
ness of the people in parallelograms. Those who applaud
the Socialist activity of the Noble Lord, if we do not
mistake, will soon have reason to repent of their hasty
approbation. They must already begin to be aware that
there is a mischievous as well as a beneficial activity;
which is the characteristic of Lord STANLEY'S exertions,
e need not specify. He has on several occasions, from the
beginning of his career in Ireland to his Registration
Bill, established his own character.

Mr. GLADSTONE, to notice another point, was cour-
teous beyond anything to the gentlemen out of doors who
have applied to him on the subject of his proposed Co-
lonial duties, with whom he said he was in communi-
cation. To them he defers, and means not to carry for-
ward his plan without their approbation. Bravo, Mr.
GLADSTONE. But you will have to extend this defer-
ence. Do the Tories suppose that they will be
allowed to defer to JENKINS, the owner of rotten
ships, or TOMKINS, the dealer in Canadian wheat, and be
allowed to refuse the least deference to HODGE, the agri-
cultural labourer, or BROOKS, the cotton-spinner ? They
will not ? and when Mr. GLADSTONE avowed that he
would study the wishes of JENKINS, the rotten ship-
owner, he imposed the obligation on the Government
also to ask the approbation and study the wishes of
IfoncE and BROOKS. Proud as his colleagues are, they
must do the bidding of the swinish multitude, as they
and their journals have chosen to call the people. To be
the instrument of such a multitude is a degradation the
Tories have imposed on themselves.

DEATH OF GEORGE BELL, ESQ.
We regret to announce the death of this enterprising
Scotsman, who expired on the 28th of October last, at
Aeoyapa, a small town in Central America. Mr. Bell,
whoseconnection with the " Vixen" case is matter oflegis-
lative notoriety, had accompanied an exploratory expe-
dition to the river Bluefields, along the frontier of Cen..
tral America. Whilst he was engaged in peaceable com-
munication with the natives, intelligence *ached tae au-
thorities of that State, that the Governor of the Fort of
, ter
St. Juan Nicaragua (subject to its authoriV) had been
seized as a hostage by the Commandant of t,tie British settle-
nt' appears

were captured, marched for nearly seventy miles into the
interior, and put in prison. Soon after his imprisonment
Mr. Bell fell a victim to the combined effects of hardship,
i nhealthiness of climate, and vexation of mind. His
egg anions survived their captivity, and, we believe, are
now on their homeward voyage.

LORD CARDIGAN.—The late Adjutant of the
11th Hassars has contradicted the statement of the United
Service Gazette, that he had resigned in consequence of Lord
Cardigan having required him "to make memoranda, pri-
vately, of officers who absented themselves from evening
stables." Lord Cardigan, he says, never required him to re-
port officers in the manner alluded to.
EXTRAORDINARY INVITATION.—" Mr. Rich.
Shackell very kindly invites those persons who have already taken
a part of his turnips from a field, known by the name of Townsend
Field, to attend on the said premises between the hours of ten and
twelve o'clock this day, when he will be there for the purpose of
delivering the remaining part. Only the persons who ht.ve taken
the others will be expected." The above was Published by the crier

Grande Voirie, and M. Solet, a clerk in the same office, both of
whom are in arrest, have been repeatedly examined. Marshal
Gerard, as Commandant of the National Guard of Paris, has struck

DESTRUCTION OF OK EllAhf CHURCH BY
Fittz.—We are sorry to have to announce the all but total
destruction of this ancient and venerable fabric, on Sunday
the 13th instant. The church is situate on a hill, little more
than half a mile from the town ; and in less than a quarter of
an hour after the congregation had left the church in the fore-
noon, it was discovered to be in a blaze in the organ loft.
Such was the rapidity of the flames, that in less than half an
hour the fire raged from one end of the building to the other.
The roof fell in. We regret to state that every monument
was destroyed. The Tower. was preserved from the general
wreck. Devonshire Chronicle.

posed to the beneficent intentions of an all-wise Providence, and is
calculated to despoil the toiling millions of the fruits of their hetuet
industry, and reduce them to starvation, for the benefit of a grasp,
ing and rapacious aristocracy.
"That all men have an undoubted right to secure to the:delves

unit to your Honourable House their most forcible remonstrance
against the monstrous propositions for the perpetuation of a tax

may be immediately and totally repealed.

So alarmed are the Tories, that a certain lawyer has had a leap

(FROM •NOTFIER CORRESPONDENT.)
Nobly have the working men of Derby responded to the can,
and done their duty. In eight days a petition for a repeal of*,
Corn and Provision laws, received only 4,534 signatures; em eleven
hours this spirited remonstrance received 6,336 signahtres from,
the honest, toiling sons of industry I—Hurrah for Corn.law Repeal,
and the Rights of Industry !! !
•In the speeches delivered, the speakers said the working classes
were not such fools as to destroy property. They knew ho* to
achieve their first rights without having recourse to such violence: as that ; but they expressed their determination to make the aria..
tocracy concede justice.

PEEL BURNT IN EFFIGY.

LEICESTER, MONDAY EVENING, FEB. 14.—The iittifignation and

with the velocity of lightning. The public fair ow

the Market-place, of Sir Robert Peel was ushered into
v..ttile the welkin refounded with the execrations of the multitude" who thronged the spacious area. After reeeiving
the universal and solemn condemnation of this mighty assemblage
of human beings, and made to perform sundry evolutions in deri-
sion Or. the sliding scale, it was consigned to the flames amidst the
corraningled jeers and anathemas of the surrounding concourse of
lipectators. Scarcely had the devouring element performed its
office, and ere the ashes of the firit effigy were reduced to their CH.
ginal constituents, and vanished into " thin air," a second imus
heralded forth, accompanied by still stronger manifestations of isoh.
pular disapprobation from accumulated numbers. This, however,
was doomed to a more summary vengeance, being torn to stony
and scattered to the four winds of heaven. The utmost alarm was
created in the neighbourhood of the scene; the shops were closed
and a large body of the police called out. Happily no mischief
seemed intended, and none was emnmitted. The populace Mitt
nearly all dispersed, and the town is again comparatively calm.
A meeting of the " Working Men's Anti-Corn-law Associati on..
has just been held. in the Town.hall, John Biggs, Esq. (late Al Aim).
in the chair, and which was unanimous in its censure of Sir R.
Peel's Bill. From all appearance the crafty Baronet bas given the
deathabloto to his awn official existence. The scattered and di:
vided forces of the Liberal party are uniting and marsharling their
ranks for the overthrow of all monopoly. A requisitir,ia is new in
course of signature to the Mayor, calling upon bin'• to convent a
meeting forthwith of the inhabitants of the totra, to be held in
the open marketplace, to petition the Queen to
Ministers. A demonstration it anticipateu dismiss her present

never before witnessed, not even in the *agitating day' of the Re-

turned out to be the same, and was restored to her, when the
