ENGLISH CORN LAWS.

Upon the defeat Of Ministers on Sir Robert Pees
motion Of want OF confidence" Lord Russell gave
notice that an early dissolution Of Parliament would
take place, and the question Of the repeal of the
Corn Laws would he submitted to the county,
That IS, in voting supplies at present, the proposed
mobilization Of those laws is abandoned now, and
deferred for future consideration.
As this and other exciting questions will enter
into the general election, England will be shaken to
her centre by the most animated canvass Of modern
times. 1t IS Idle TO indulge conjsctures to which
party will succeed. Bat as the Conservative Party
has been increasing for the last few years-the pro.
liability is, unless Reaction takes place, that
that party will ob!.n the ascenJancy in the new par
liamest- which, Of course, will lead to a change Of
Ministry.

A NEW INVENTION

We observe in the deJatssof the House Of Com.
mons, that some individual has submitted TO the Br
tIsh Ministry some new invention Of vast power,
which throws powder in'o tho shade. The gentle.
men who spoke upon the subject, preserved gren
reserve les. the secret should como to the know.
ledge Of the world. Sir f. Burdott, who went for.
tner than others, thus spoke Oft: lie stated,
"That ho h,d seen the experiments, and that al
though be was no authority on tho subject nor
could my one who had not been IN service duly mp.
preclite the effect Of this discovery, yet this he
could say, that what he had seen was, IN his mind,
the most astonishing sight that could be conceived,
nod the Instrument being 80 small aud tuning COM
pared with the effect produced, II appeared quite n
marvel. " was clear hat some means Of eEpIo-
son more powerful tkangun poWdor had been DIS.
covered. The hon. bart then proceeded 70 give a
description u tho effects Of the explosion, which
shattered large and solid pieces Of oak fastened to-
gether IN the strongest manner with iron clamps,
shiyored them from distance u 200 Or 800 yards,
rs II they had been struck by lightning, and carr
ed some of the fragments over large grove Of high
trees. lie hoped, as attention had now been cal.
led 20 the subject, that some means would be n
ken 10 secure 70 the country power Of such mag
/ ntudo, go fir beyond anything that had ever beer
seen Or heard Of, and 90 infinitely beyond anj
means now used for the same purposes"
Ths object Of the discussion was TO stimulate
Ministers to hasten negotiation with the invonto
with view TO secure to Great britain the eIclu
siVe benefits Of the discovery.

ference TO this matter it within the province oil
the Department.
MIR KING expressed n hope that this matter
would be referred, for the purpose OF making a
written report, which would not merely vindicste
the action of our diplomatic agent, but mako MS
conduct the subject OF commentator.
MIR PRESTON acqulesced IN the proprety oil
the report but he did not go the length o Justiyng
a course which might lead to an Irregular MODE OF
acting in the body. lie thought that our diploma
tic agent had perhaps himself shared too much IN
tn panic which had spread on the subject oil nos
Titles. He knew nothing more than commodore
Hull knew from the papcrs-nothng more lhan
we knew here-and VIC knew nothing 10 justify the
expectation of war. MIR. Il. said he was satishei
with every par oil this affair, except the return oil
the BrIndywine.
MIR MANGUM said the return of the Brandy
wine had been referred TO the Department 10y the

hips had already acted, by removing the Captain
OF the Bfandywino from his command. lie regret
ted that no did not take precisely the view taken by

proved. The committee saw no reason for taking
