LONDON
THURSDAY MORNING. JUNE 9, 1842.

The..flouse of Commons last night, though the guiding
nTh'ster was absent, presented a much more sober ap-
pearance than the night before. In trutlr, it was engaged
with subjects somewhat of a melancholy nature, which
probal.ily came home to the pecuniary- interests of some
of the Meniber:,. The larger portion of the evening was
employed in di -icussing thi two important questions of
the duty on cotton wool, and on sheep wool. On both,
one :rater another, it was proposed by 1)r. Bownnio tore•
du& the duty on cotton, as settled in the tarifF,
from 2s: lld. per cwt. to Id.: and by Mr. WOOD, on
from or Id. per lb. for diffil-ent sorts, to Is.
per ca
• • In nulling these motions both gentlemen, fol-
lowed by-,,others, drew some lugubrious, picture.: of the
present.;;ate of our Manilfacturc•s- , and or the effects of
thes•2 dutie. Their facts and their arguments were
throtvn :tway. Sir IioDERT PF,NT, was not present ; and,
of cour:,,e, his subordaates, the most ae:ive of' whom
was his roan, GLAte;•-rw,F., could not make any altera-
tion in his s,:heme. In both cases the Committee de.
(idea by considerable tria:orities, 53 in the first case and
57 in the second, to do as the absent Dictator bade
them. and,. in spite of the strong evidence that. was laid
her re them, that they were inflicting irreparable mis-
chk.f on those two great branches of our manufacture
they vote.] to continue the present duties on cotton wool' •
and sheep wool.

',Ort both questions some of the usual supporters of
ag=tinst; than. Mr. WILSON PATTEN
spokt:r favour of: the .reducei duty on cotton Wool,
and Mr: BECKETT strenuously advocated the reduction
"of thC- duty on sheep iwool. Mr. C. Woos proved by a
of facts-and figures, that our Woollen trade was
going to defmy, and that we -weirc. 'cut, out of foreign
markets by the French and the GerniatiS. 'Ntr. BECKiTT
c(mfirwed this, and emphatically stated that up to this

time no improvement .whatever had taken place in
the trade of Leeds. He quoted a case in which
an order for 10,000 i. of goods, for, we believer
the Chira market, had been taken from Leech Ana oxe-
cuteii at Aix-la-Chapelle, which the 'abolition of the
'duty would have enabled the parties to execute at
Leeds. Of that 10,0001.; he said 2,5001. would have gene
to pay wages. This is only a specimen of what takes
place through every part of our manufactures. High
duties and high prices prevent orders ; the mills are
stopped, and wages are lessened by several 100,0001. Here,
by a single example, Mr. BECKETT taught us the whole
theory 'of the public distress. It all had no effect either
on the absent or on the present Ministers. It- was im-
possible, Mr. GLADSTONE said, that the Government
could spare such an amount of revenue. To give up
these ruinous imposts would compel a complete revision
of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S financial scheme. So he demon-
strated that the scheme was a mischievous one ; and so he
told the suffering people in very plain language, not very
wisely we thought, that the Government and the wants
of the Government were the causes why they can get
no wages, and why they are suffering such deep dis-
tress. Such important questions ought not to have
been incidentally discussed on a Wednesday night, in
the absence of Sir ROBERT PEEL. It is not likely the
decision of the Committee will be final ; and the Go-
vernment, we believe, will have to revise that part of
tariff at no distant date,

The uproar which the contending theological factions
have been for some time keeping up at Oxford, is stilled
for the present. The Puseyites have gained a complete
victory over the Hampdenites and the Heads of Houses. By
a majority of 115, in a convocation of 553 members of the
University, who had been collected from all quarters, it
has been decided not to rescind the statute pass2d six
years ago against Dr. HAMPDEN. Till another occasion
for a contest arises, the parties will be quiet. If the
Puseyites suffered a temporary defeat by the rejection of
their candidate for the Professorship of Poetry, they
have now taken an ample vengeance on their opponents.
Then have gained strength by their former defeat, and,
as the Bishop of OXFORD in his Puseyite charge said,
the authors of the " Tracts for the Times " have thriven
by persecution. The Puseyites at present hold
the power of the University in their hands. Now,
we may look for vigils, and fast days, and all the
other popish ceremonials which still form a part of the
Common Prayer Book, though neither people nor priests
thought of practising them till the Puseyite revival,
We shall soon have them all enforced, if the people will
submit to them. Perhaps—and we mention this.that
our readers may not lose all hope—as the Church
in the south of the island approximates to Popery, the
Kirk in the north may recede from it ; and that betwixt
the two bodies of priests the public will by and by fall
into the flowery and sweet garden of mental inde-
pendence. The contentions of the clerical bodies, north
and south, must in the end have a wholesome influence
on the public mind.

Sir ROBERT PEEL is the Atlas upon whose shoulders
rest the entire weight of the Government. His nominal
colleagues can do nothing without him, and when he
happens not to be in his place in the House of Commons,
which is but seldom, that House presents more the ap-
pearance of a village school in the absence of the school-
master, than a grave Legislative Assembly deliberating
upon the affairs of a great nation. The Right Hon.
Baronet dined at the Palace on Tuesday, and his friends,
taking advantage of his absence, got up an enter-
tainment for the evening, the account of which
cannot but delight and edify the country.
Mr. CHARLES BULLER quoted the old proverb,
" When the cat's away, the mice will play ; "
and the House, acting upon it, exhibited a scene of up-
roar, which was kept up with great spirit till one o'clock
yesterday morning. The House of Commons' balcostume—
fur Mr. COBDEN tells us the figurantes appeared in white
waistcoats and white neckeloths—was opened by
that pink of veracity and discretion, Mr. FERRAND,
and Dr. BOWRING, and was continued by Lord
HOWICK, Lord STANLEY, Mr. T. F. BARING,
Mr. WALLACE, Colonel PEEL, Mr. C. BULLER,
Mr. COBDEN, and Mr. HumE. Mr. FERRAND, it appears,
is a gentleman of extensive foreign travel, for he told
the House on Tuesday night that he had been as far abroad
as Switzerland. There ho had the good fortune to
make the acquaintance of the Mayor of some little
town in some small canton, who asked him to dinner ;
and, among other funny atter-dinner stories, told him
that when Dr. Bowarso was collecting commercial in-
formation in that country, he refused to receive evidence
opposed to his free-trade theories. The Hon. Member
for Bolton, with great simplicity, and Lord Howica,
with still greater, called hastily for the name of this
" high. and mighty Swiss Mayor, who had been giving
dinners to, and bandying badinage with, the Hon. Member
for Knaresborough, or as its representative will soon
baptize it, Knavesborough. The story being the coinage
of the fertile brain of the Parliamentary story-teller,
no name, of course, was given. It was manufactured
to slander a private man in his private and personal
character, and an explanation was refused, on the dig-
nified ground of shielding from the 'fury of the ireful
Member for Bolton, one of the most poetical of the off-
spring of Mr. FERRAND'S teeming imagination—the
dinner-giving Mayor of a certain town, in a certain
canton of Switzerland. Pity Mr. FERRAND's travels
did not extend to Africa, as then he could have named
ABD-EL-KADER as his informant, and let Dr. Bow-
RING make the most of it.

Lord STANLEY spoke as if he were annoyed at the un-
founded charge made by Mr. FERRAND against the cha-
racter of Dr. Bowl:a:sic, but in reality he was well
pleased with it. The Members of the Government
could not appear to be idle, and they knew that it was
their master Sir ROBERT PEEL'S pleasure that they
should not proceed with the tariff in his absence. Mr.
FERRAND as usual was thrust forward to make a diver-
sion to distract the attention of the House from the im-
potency of Ministers. Their supporters were glad of a
night's sport, and cheered as lustily as if they believed
every word uttered by the Harlequin of the agricultu-
rists. The grave mood in which Dr. BOWRING re-
pelled the charge, was perhaps excusable in him, but
Lord Howtcx's disrelish of so good a juke rather annoys
us. Instead of gravely reprimanding Mr. FERRAND forin-
venting spicy personal anecdotes for the amusement of
the House, the Liberals ought to join the Tories. in the
more sensible course of laughing at them. The Punch
performances in Parliament, are as well worth laugh-
ing at as the Punch and Judy exhibitions in Seven-Dials.
The leading performers in both have a predilection fiur
mingling mischief with mirth ; but in extenuation of this
cruel practice, it may be pleaded that the blows of one
of them never take effect, and that the other cracks only
wooden sconces. Of the two we think the Parliamen-
tary Punch by far the more amusing, because he is
always varying his performances.

The French Journals devote their columns to comments
upon the news brought by the Overland Mail from In-
dia. In general they take the same view as, or rather
they borrow their views from, the London Journals.
" A letter from Algiers, May 30, in the Commerce, says—
We are without news from the army. Whilst it is march-
ing in the mountains, our mowers in the plains are frequently
exposed to attacks. from the Arabs, and it is impossible to go
from Algiers to our nearest camps without a powerful es-
cort. This shows clearly that we have made no real progress,
and that we-have not solved the -problem of security even at
our own gates. On the evening of the 27th, great sensation
was created here by the visit of the police to the shop of Messrs.
Brachet and Bastide, booksellers, where there was posted a
placard announcing the publication of a work entitled—"L'Al-
gerie prise au serieux," with the addition of the words " The
destruction of an Arab costs us 33 men and 15,000 francs. "
This placard was instantly torn down by the police. fhe affair
of the persons charged with fraud in the supply of the hospitals,
&c., has been just concluded. Two employees have been found
guilty, and condemned to five years' imprisonment.
The following letter from . Tlemcen, 14th ult., is given by
the Constitutionnel The Emir is at his last shift—all the
money he lavishes can only procure "him a few raw soldiers.
Our contingents, on the contrary present a striking contrast,
and there is reason to apprehend a gout:het of jealousy among
the chiefs who join us. Zinn, the chief of the Beni Amers, who
marches with us at the head of 1,000 horse, is a rival of old
Mustapha, who shows a resolution to maintain the position of
supreme commander of the allies, in which we have placed
him. Zinn pretends that he has submitted to the French
alone, and will not acknowledge the General of the Douairs
and Smelas in any other character than as a friend and fellow-
counsellor. General Bugeaud, to prevent any collision, keeps
Mustapha Ben Ismael with him to assist Lim on his grand
expedition, and leaves Zinn with the corps acting in the
west. The light troops of Abd.el-Kader no longer approach
our out•posts and fire upon 'them. At Oued Bommida some
of his regulars got surrounded by the Beni Amers, and his
Bachi-Schidough was taken prisoner. Abd-el-Kader himself
