_ FROM THE EVENING metals OF tiATEADAY.
GLOBE.—It is 'strongly affirmed in circles likely
to be informed of what is allowed to transpire of
Cabinet deliberations upon and differences respecting
matters of national policy, that Sir Robert Peel-sub-
mitted a more extensive change of the Corn-laws to
the Cabinet than that which he subsequently intro-
duced-tolhe House of Commons. It is further said
that . his plan was supported by Lords Ripen 'and
Wharncliffe, abut met with vehement opposition
from Sir James Graham and Lord Stanley ; sand
that the latter prevailed on the Premier to pare
down his original design to the meagre dimen -
sions of his "sliding-scale." If this be true--
and it is affirmed to be so in quarters likely fr.) know
something of what is going on behind the curtain,
however carefully its folds may be arranged, t 0 Pre-
vent the eye of the curious from penetrating
the veil—then there is vet hope that the " slidtl,g-
scale " will be compelled to give place to a sour:G er
vtithin
policy. A few more debates such as that which toc. k
place last night, and stands adjourned to Monde T /
may cause the Premier to introduce, first to tire
Cabinet, and then to the House of Commons, thee
overture which he knew so well how to play : " The
time is come !" In the meanwhile we commend to
Sir Robert Peel and his Cabinet a careful considera-
tion of the maxim, which the experience of ages has
stamped with the impress of incontrovertible truth—
, "Plus impetus, majorem constantiam pens miseros:"
The practical lesson inculcated by it is, that a wise
Government will be cautious how it provokes to op-
position or resistance bodies of men, reduced to the
verge of desperation by the extremity of misery.
Of the value of this caution no one is better able to
form an estimate than Sir James Graham ; although
he appear now utterly oblivious of the truths he
once so eloquently and forcibly urged upon the
Legislature and the country. Speaking of the
contest which the suffering caused to the labouring
classes by the Corn-laws would ultimately provoke
between the people and the landowners, the Right
Hon. Secretary, in his " Corn and Currency," thus
utters his warning, the effect of which he endeavours
to stifle at the very moment when its truth is exem-
plified, and the dangers he foresaw and. predicted,
are actually impending over the class he then endea-
voured to make sensible of the perils of their position.
" On what ground will it [the ' fearful contest he was
describing] be decided ? On the very topic which, In-
flames to madness. Hunger, which breaks through
walls, will be arrayed against them. Reason will he
heard no longer. The ,barriers of society will be
broken down; and estates, distinctions, honours, swept
away in one resistless torrent." Sir James raham
is a brave man to put in issue the truth of his own
prediction !
STANDARD.—The adjournment of the debate
affords a sufficient reason for postponing any length_
ened remarks upon it, even had we not a more co.
gent one in the want of time and room. We, can-
not, however, forbear recommending to the most
serious attention of our readers the speeches of Mr.
Attwood and Sir Robert Peel. There was more
of opposition, not to call it hostility, between the
two speakers, than we could ever wish to see
between two such men, and perhaps more
than the occasion warranted. Indeed, it seems,
to us that they are both perfectly agreed in the
causes of the existing distress, and both equally
at a loss to find a present remedy. Mr. Attwood
condemns free trade ; and does not Sir R. Peel
condemn it also, when he shows that "the corn-
mend of capital" may render the utmost exten-
sion of trade wholly unprofitable to the commu.
laity ? And is not such (to the community)
unprofitable extension of trade accompanied
by an aggravation of the tyranny of capi-
tal all that• is even promised .from free trad€, ?
The law of 1819 more than doubled the pow,,r of
money capital ; the Poor-law of 1834 aggrc,ndised,
that power in probably a greater proportion.
Knowing this, and knowing from Sir Robert Peel
that the command of capital may snatch from
the industrious all the fruits of their industry,
can we be at a loss to account for the present
distress or at a loss for the remedy ?—a recurrence
to a liberal system of Poor-laws, to temper, if
not to check, the advances of the tyrant capital.
The highest compliment ever paid to Sir Robert
Peel is the reproach of Lord John Russell, that he
has only partially applied the principles of free.
trade. The praise of the tariff is, that generally
(there are exceptions) it has no respect to free
trade doctrines. It relieves articles of consump-
fion and the raw material of manufactures',
wherever it can do so without injury too
native or colonial producers. This a wise legisla-
tor would do, if happily such an animal as a poli-
tical economist had never been produced in nature.
It is because the tariff has generally followed com-
mon sense and the teaching of experience that the
country approves of it, and the only points upon whick
objections have been heard—at least the only poi-,its
upon which censure has been just, are 4;tiose
in which the inadvertence of Ministers, e'Jd the
treacherous cupidity of those who ought to have
warned them of their error but did not, lame caused
them to be misled by a false analogy. We allude
particularly to the metallic mines.

CONDUCT OF HER MAJESTV's

THIRTEENTH FOOT.

(From the Bombay Times of April G. )
The conduct of her Majesty's 13th 11 egirt.ient, in
their progress from Caubul to Jellalabad, was se-
verely handled two or three months ago by some of
the correspondents of our Contemporlunes, who went
so far as to advance a charge of cowardice. The re-
putation of that distinguished corps was warmly de-,
fended in several of the journals. We embrace f:ne,
opportunity afforded us to lay before our readrAss
clear statement of the whole transaction from tl,te pen
of one who was on the spot, and which has 'been for
some time in our possession.

The enemy were in very considerable force in the
front and on both flanks, and the rear of the 13ritish.
The advanced guard and main column won its way,
slowly but resolutely, through a long valley, ovey:-
shadowed by lofty hills and precipices. These were
scaled under a very sharp fire by the skirrnislictrs of
the 13th and 35th ; and to enable them to do. this,
successive reinforcements were pushed up to them,
until at length only one entire company of the firs;:,..
named corps was left around its colours, the 8-111,s,
and the Commander of the force. History rccords
how Napoleon forced the pass of* - b'i push-
ing forward a body of Polish Lancers at fnefpfilop up
the road, whilst both flanks were envelor?ed Ir. the fire
of French and Spanish Tirailleurs, A similar ma-
noeuvre was here executed with company of light
infantry. Whilst the skirmis);ers on either hand
were brought to a halt, by eltLer inaccessible heights
or formidable entrenchments, and tlre guns in the
hollow were found to produce but little impression
as they sent forth bullets against so lofty an eleva-
tion, this handful of foot pushed on and won the pass
without the loss of a man. The Ghilzies had not
guarded it, and probable with the view of reinforcing
their flanks, had left void an old fort at its inlet. The
cavalry and guns followed, and occupied the table
land. The day was in fact won. It was only neees,
my to have disposed the force on the top of the
mountain, to have permitted the cumbrous ba:ggage
to pass on through an interval in our line, and, to have
fixed the ground of encampment, not at thia yet dis-
tant' point of Soorkhab, but at the nearest stream of
water, not three miles from the head of the pass.
There is little doubt that this would lurve been done,
if our CoMmander had that day been on his
gooti
grey charger; but he lay in a litter,suffering a de-
gree of bodily pain, the sense of which few could have
concealed like himself. He had only an imperfect view
of the ground and the operation ; and whatever those
around him might have seen, and thereupon thouVift
and des'ired, in a conflict the General alone cr,i•
the General's part. • The force moved forward.ifter a
considerable delay indeed, during which inrial of the
baggage also passed ore, but time was not anowed for
the rear-guard to fall back on the slar.imit of the
mountain. In the meantime it had IYee-a fiercely at-
tacked from the very moment of its resF,aying to quit
its encampment. An untoward incident occurred in
the recal of an officer who was roat-ing excellent dis-
positions at the time, to perform another duty near
the outlet of the, pass. Captain Broadfoot, however,
of the 'Shah's force, a soldier of talent and bravery
equal to every crisis, sustained with a small body- of
his mixed corps of appers the desperate onset at an
enemy bold and numerically syerior. He reCred,
