The admissions, too, of the Minister'S that more

Lord John Russell and the wings to lay violent hands

The motion of Mr.. Ward for appropriating the

almost curious in its details it is remarkable
and important in IT'S general features. A close anay
sis of the list shows that the Ministerial proposition
would have been negatived, if submitted to the con-
sderahon of the unfettered portion of the Conser-
vatve party. The motion of Sir Robert Peel was
not only carried by the votes of opposition menu
bers, but ne actually marshalled under his banner
upon this occasion less than l65 wings and radi-
GALS while he could only retain the services of I58
conservatives; and even from the latter number we
are bound In justice to deduct the mere pace-hold

only muster upon this question l2S unpaced conser-

ing ON the grant to Maynooth had been left in the
hands of the conservative party, the motion would
have been negativcd by majority Of Is; for the
supporters of the amendment were las conserva-
tves and 81 wings radicals. This division is not
only the most remarkable that has taken place dur

that the votes OF opposition members carried the

CoMMERcIAL.--The demand for almost all
kinds OF produce has received great Inn
petus by the relaxation Of duties, the plen
tifulness of money, and general employment and
prosperity of the country generally In Sugar,
Coffee, and other great staple articles the demand has
been very great and although the market has not been
quite so brisk during the last week, yet we believe
there will be at present no great reaction The Cot
ton market has been buoyant OF late, and, in some
descriptions, the Improvement has reached farth-
ing pound. The threatened rupture with America
has caused this advance, and as the share market
has been pretty well cleaned, parties, specuatng
the rpturs, disposed to invest their capital in
the staple If President Polk will listen to reason,
staring them in the face, will assuredly burn their
fingers; but if he will not, their gain will be great
and as the affair seems pretty much like game at
chance, they reckon that the risk is worth
market, and with the e&citable topics that have
been recently before Parliament and the country,
the least move in the right direction--right, we
mean, for the spectators, deeply injurious as the
result, whatever form ii might take, would be for
both countrics-woud send up the cotton market
with unexampled rapidity. Every account from the
United States most anxiously looked for, and will
continue to increase until II is seen whether the
"little cloud in the West" has grown bigger, has
disappeared.
Parliament is now fairly engaged in the railway
Investigation. The committee are up to their eyes
and ears in business, counsel learned in the law are
making rapid and golden harvest, and engineers,
clerks, and Others throng the lobby and rooms of
that most inconvenient of all public buldings-the
House of Commons. A committee of the House
have investigated the atmospheric principle of rail-
ways and the result is hattering report to its
practlcablllty.
The news that Brazil has advanced the duty on

The PREMIER's SoN IN TRoUBLE.-The Clamor
Pubiico of Madrid tells this anecdote under date of
Toledo 18th April. yesterday, in the afternoon,
the son of the celebrated English Minister, Sir Ro
bert Peel, of the Attaches of the British Embas
sy at Madrid, arrived here. just the carriage
passing before the post at the gate of Acanara, the
carabineers duty approached it TO ascertain whom
il contained. The son of Sir Robert Peel, without
any more ceremony, presented to the carabineers
brace of double-barrelled pistols. The latter, wish
ing to acknowledge that delicate attention, ran to
their arms, in order to repay the young foreigner in
the same coin, and to make him understand that
der such circumstances Spanlards are not people TO
remain in the background. This friendly interview
might have had fatal consequences but for the inter-
ference Of some civil officers. The Political Chief,
on being informed of the occurrence, summoned be-
fore him the Englishman; who told him, with the
candor that characteristics his nation, that he did not
understand Spanish, and that he had merely shown
his pistols to the carabineers to know II they were
subject to duty The Political Chief, deeming the
renly satisfactory allowed the innocent foreigner to
