SUMMARY OF NEWS

AND
Public eptuton.

" Who runs may read."

FOREIGN.
The following amendment, proposed by M. Jacques
Lefebre, on the fourth paragraph in the Address, in
answer to the Speech from the Throne, was almost unani-
mously adopted by the French Chamber of Deputies:—
"We feel confident, likewise, that the Government, in
giving its concurrence to the suppression of a criminal
trade, will take measures to preserve our commercial in-
terests, and the independence of our flag from any at-
tempt at violation."
Upon the carrying of this amendment, the Journal
des Debats, Louis Philippe's journal, says:—" We expect
that the Opposition will cry victory, as if Ministers had
received a serious defeat, merely because they have
chosen to concur in a vote which adds to the address a
paragraph relative to the Convention of 1841. The
amendment of M. Lefepre is neither a censure upon,
nor a defeat of, the policy of the Cabinet, but we will
admit that it was conceived in a spirit which was not
that of unlimited confidence in the disinterestedness of
-England, and that the French Government will act
wisely to take account of the friendly advice which it
has just received."
The Presse, M. Mole'S journal, observes:—" We are
pleased at the adoption of the additional paragraph pro-
posed by M. Lefebre. It is of a nature to show that
England deceived herself if she thought that in obtaining
the right of search for a special case, she could arrogate
to herself one of the rights which France has already
contested."
The Constitutionnel, under the influence of M.
Thiers, remarks exultingly :—" The Chamber has
clearly shown its opinion as to the right of search ; it is
perhaps the only question on which it has ever been
unanimous. Public opinion will approve of its conduct,
and will appreciate, in due course, the decision to which
the Ministry will come.
The Courier Francais, a moderate anti-English paper,
is displeased that the majority stopped half-way in their
censure, instead of boldly rejecting the Treaty, and se
tripping up the heels of the Cabinet.
The _National, a Republitan paper, says that,-..if the
vote- may not be regarded as a Ministerial defeaLinas-
much as it does not involvethe fall of M. Guizot, it is
at the least a rude correction.
The Quotidienne, a Royalist organ, hails the vote with
joy; as showing that the Chamber views the convention
of 1841 as injurious to the freedom of the trade of
France, and offensive to the independence of her flag.
The country, at large' adds the Quotidicnne, taking the
same view of the subject, will approve of the vote.
The Temps thinks it impossible that after what the
Chamber has done, the Ministry should be bold enough
to ratify the convention of 1841.
The King of the French gave a grand diplomatic
dinner on Monday, at which his Excellency Lord Cow-
ley, Mr. Bulwer, First Secretary .of Legation, several
Members of Parliament, and other Enghsh gentlemen
were present.
A Spanish Correspondent of the Paris Globe says that
great activity prevails at the present moment in the ports
of Ferrol, Corunna, and Cadiz for fitting out vessels, and
raising the Spanish navy from the state of almost total
extinction in which it now lies. A frigate, La Perta, is
shortly to be launched at Ferrol.
PUBIAC OPINION.

The Morning Chronicle, after stating that nothing is
to be expected from such a Ministry as the present, goes
on to observe :—" We are far from charging Sir Robert
Peel with malevolent feelings towards the great body of
his countrymen. But Sir Robert Peel has not a heart,
in the true old English sense of the world. He is not a
man who stands on his own legs. He is an adjective.
He may be cleverer than many who
.yet are able to lead
him by the nose. For want of a portion of the strength of
resolution which belongs to the Duke of Wellington, he
will always be the mere tool of a party---a man who de-
rives his consequence from the skill with which he works
out its objects. '
The Herald returns to the question which it cligeussed
yesterday, of the expediency of England continuing t)
maintain friendly relations with Germany, observing
" an alliance between England and Germany cannot,
however, rest on sympathy alone ; the realities of com-
merce must be its foundations. What commercial ad-
vantages can England give to, and receive from Ger-
many? This is a serious question, but its difficulties,
we think, have been overrated. A little forbearance
and a few concessions on either side would lead to ex-
tended commercial intercourse hereafter between Eng-
land and Germany, and that without the sacrifice of any
national interest on either part."
The Post
.contains an article on the subject of free
trade, wherein it remarks that it is not true that an
import of corn must encourage domestic labour to pay
for it ; first, because it may displace domestic labour,
which would have been employed to produce the corn
at home, had it not been imported ; and, secondly, be-
cause the imported corn may be paid for outi.of accumu-
lated capital, and not out of the produce of contempo-
raneous or future labour.
The Advertiser says of Lord de Grey's • interference
with the Dublin election :—" Grievously and grossly as
Ireland has been misgoverned under former Lord-Lieu-
tenants, we know-of no instance in which so open, we
must say impudent, an identification of the representation
Irfajty with party politics as has been made by
Lord de Grey. If he was so eager to-play the part of an
Ultra-Orangemen, by doing what he could to secure the
return of his juvenile nominee, why did he not, before
appearing in that character, abdicate his official func-
tions ? What we quarrel with is, that he should have
interfered in the capacity of representative of the Queen,
and conSequently involved her Majesty in his degrada-
tion."
The Times congratulates its readers on the peaceable
termination of the contest for the Oxford Professorship
of' ractry, and adds, " on the whole, we hope on the
one hand that the minority may be sobered into a some-
what less startling mode of expression, than some of
them have been pleased to adopt of late ; and on the
other, that we shall hear no more of these blind cries for
their expulsion from the Church and authoritative con-
demnaticni, which we have lately seen in letters, leading
articles, and petitions to the Archbishop of Canterbury."
The Chelmsford Chronicle observes, in allusion to the
Royal Christening :—" Something like regret has been
expressed at the grafting of a new name upon the line
of our Kings. By many, the title, when he comes to
reign, of Edward the Seventh would have been preferred."
The Sherborne Journal says :--" Whether an amelio-
ration of the present duties, or a fixed amount charged
for the importation of corn, would be best for the country,
can only be proved by experience ; but we think to the
landed interest it will be a Matter of slight difference ;
both measures will, to a certain degree, open a new
source of trade for British manufactures, and, to a cer-
tain degree, admit a competition to British corn ; but
neither will be so effectual as to give a strong impetus to
manufactures, nor cause a great depression in the price
of corn."
The Nottingham Review makes the following remarks
on the Rural Police in that country:—" It is well known
we always disapproved of the new system. It is a farce
to set thirty-three men, besides superintendents, as a
police force for the prevention of crime and the appre-
hension of criminals, in the extended and populous
eounty of Nottingham, containing nearly 200,000 in-
habitants, exclusive of the town, which has a police of
its own. 'From Carside in the north, to Stanford in the
south of the county, is a distance of fifty miles. To
place the men on this line would be only one for every
mile and a half, and then the greater part of the county
wouid be five or six miles distant from any policeman.'
The Scotsman thus speaks of the case of the crew of
the Creole :—" The acts of which these men arc accused,
the American laws condemn as mutiny and murder
but the attempt of individuals to regain those rights and
that status of which they have been unjustly deprived,
Must be viewed by the British in a widely different
light. Persons cannot be held in a state of slavery on
any other principle than that of force, and we are at a
loss to see how Great Britain can, consistently with her
free laws and institutions, deny the right of any man to
escape, if he can, from unjust bondage." '
We quote the following from the Dublin Pilot :
" There is an end of all pretences of fair play from the
present Government. It has unmasked itself on this
election, and proved itself Orange, factious, unconstitu-
tional, and partisan. The insolent attempts to coerce
Liberals in office, - and cause them to vote contrary to
their principles, are shameless to a degree of temerity."
MONEY—TRADE —COMMERCE.

Symptoms of improvement are visible at Paisley, but
they are Tet very faint. Several buyers from London
have been in the market, and have been purchasing to a
limited extent, and some also from Manchester.
