State Church, but he always thought it.was ina an Wk-
ward predicament.—(Cheers.) He "thanked them fur
the, patience with which they had heard him, and he
would assure them .of his sympathy and: best
exec tions, and he only regretted that he. had not
more power to be serviceable, and he could say that no
human heart could throb with greater anxiety than his
did to be uscfuLto the people.— (Great cheering.)
The CR.-AIRMAN said that before they separated they
must recollect that the meeting of the Conference would
be held again at 11 o'clock on Monday, at the same
and hoped that as many as possibly could re-
main in town would be present.
The meeting then adjourned at four o'clock.

THE ANTI-CORN-LAW
DELEGATES.

INTERVIEW WITH SIR R. PEEL

This morning a large body of Delegates had an
interview with Sir Robert Peel. Ten gentlemen
addressed the Premier on the decrease in the
trade and commerce of the country —on the
extent of idleness and destitution—and on the in-

crease of crime and disaffection. Their state-
ments, which were most solemn and important,
were listened to for an hour and a half. At the
conclusion, Sir Robert Teel said—" You will not
expect from me any communication on the matters
you have brought before me—matters which have
frequently been under the notice of her Majesty's
Government and the House of Commons. What
you have communicated shall be taken into
consideration. I have nothing further to say—
(after a pause)—except that I deeply Byrn-

pathise in the distresses of the country, and thank
you for the testimony you have borne, which I fear
is incontestible."

Her Majesty and Prince Albert, attended by the Royal
Suite, left Buckingham Palace this afternoon, soon atter
three o'clock, for Claremont Park, where the Court is
expected to spend a few days.
Mn. WALLACE'S RESOLUTIONS.—The Parliamentary
Votes published this morning do not contain the
" division" on Mr. 'Wallace's resolutions. We mention
the fact, as the reason for its nbn-appearance in our co-
lumns to-day.
Q BRISTOL SUGAR-MARKET, JULY B.—Our market has
become exceedingly depressed and inanimate. The flat
state of the country demand is seriously felt by the
buyers, who are not disposed to add to their stocks, and
the sales have been very trifling. Arrived, from Barba-
does, 570 hhds. and 185 hhds. from Jamaica.—Bristol
Mercury.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM TEE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
GLOBE.—The debate on Mr. Wallace's motion
was brought to a close last night, or rather this morn-
ing. On the division; there appeared for the motion,
49 ; against it, 174, An attempt was made to carry
over the debate to next week ; but the House refused
to sanction the effbrt to prolong the discussion. It
seemed to be agreed, on all hands, that the form of the
motion precluded all hope of reducing it to any prac-
tical object. Hence, ;the leaders of Opposition,
while they availed themselves of the opportunity thus
afforded to deliver their sentiments at considerable
length, and with manifest advantage over the Govern-
ment, on the important questions which the resolu-
tions placed on the table of the House necessarily
raised, were unable to support the motion, which,
from the commencement •of the debate, they expli-
citly stated they would vote against upon a division.
From this circumstance the organs of the Govern-
ment have derived an argument against the course
adopted by Mr. Wallace, as an unnecessary inter-
ruption of the business of the Session—a waste of the
public time, by originating a protracted debate, with-
out the possibility of effectuating any practicarad-
vantage ! We cannot adopt the conclusions, even
though we may admit the premises,
.pf such of our
Contemporaries as thus reason. From whatever point
we view the melancholy scene of increasing national
distress—whether it be considered as resulting from
defective or erroneous legislation, or as originating in
causes over which legislatimi has, at best, but a very
limited control—we must approve of the policy of the
Opposition in forchigits immediate consideration on the
Government, through the House of Commons. Some
may think that debates, similar to that of the pre-
sent week, in which such serious and often contra-
dictory views are taken of the origin, nature, and
proposed cure, of the evils admitted by all to exist,
are of little or no practical utility. We are far from
participating in such sentiments. Though no specific
system of relief is likely to be evolved out of the
miscellaneous mass of opinion that a Parliamentary
debate on general topics must necessarily call forth,
yet the accumulated results of individual experience
are thus brought to bear on this one , 11-engrossing
subject of national interest, from which a subsequent
examination, separating the prejudices and party
feelings of the hour, may discover data on which to
found practical measures of alleviation, if not of cure.
STANDARD.—And now, again, we ask, what is
the importance of any question about the evidence ?
Lord Ashley's Bill merely goes to forbid the em-
ployment of women and infants in subterranean
labour. If no women or infants are so employed,
or likely to be so employed, then surely, in
Commons, which has
courtesy to the House of
