COBDEN. The decision of the Chamber, come too after much discussion and deliberation, is therefore as solemn as possible, and speaking, as it does, the sentiments  of tho-ie who carry on the most important manufacture of the empire, must have great wei4ht with the Legislature. However blind that hody of la.downers, hoodwinked by their extreme selfishness, may be to the visible signs of the times, they will not be deaf to the startling notes of the great Manchester manufacturers. The speeches delivered at the Chamber---..the curious facts brought forward, proving the comparative decay of our trade, and threatening the wealth and power of the Aristocracy, will have mote weio-ht with the unfeeling and arroL!ant CILA N DOSES ,laid KNA TCII B ULLS of the Parliament. than Cie voice of reason or the demands of justice. Mr. J. B. SM ITEI proved that our exports had not kept pace with those of other countries :  " In 1815," he said, " we exported 51 millions; in 1846, 53 millions, en increase of four per cent. The United Stm! CS exports in 1815 amount, d to 28 millions of dollars; in 1836 they had rrached to 60 millions of dollar:, h.-ing an increase of more than 200 per cent. Prance, in 1815, exported to the value of 23 millions of francs, but in 1836 she exported to the value of 74 millions of francs, which was an increase of nearly 400 per cent. ; so that, whilst our exports had increased but four per cent., those of France had increased 400 per cent. 1 Was not this an alarming fact ? And the increase of the manufactures of foreign countries in different articles was another interesting fact."  We refer to his speech for the illustration of the last statement ; and also to the excellent addresses of Mr. It. H. GREG and Mr. COBDEN, for some equally startling statements on other points. We have not room for comment to-day—which is not indeed needed— but recommend the whole of these gentlemen's statements to the serious and earnest consideration of our readers. If they cannot move the landowning lawmakers to alter their anti-national and murderous policy, nothing will but the crash of a Revolution tutnWing into ruin property as well as political institutions. But though all the other Members of the Legislature should be deaf to their warning, Mr. Poo L ETT THOMSON will, we are sure, be awakened by it. Mr. COBD EN read him a lesson which he will not -forget; and he may make up his mind to retire at once into the obscurity of private life, giving up all hope of ever again sitting in Parliament, or he must, as Mr. COBDEN said, be a bona fide and staunch representative of the free trade interest of Manchester. The Right Honourable Gentleman must cease to fill the disgraceful office of a mere toady to the most heartless and selfish Aristocracy that was ever suffered, for purposes of decay and ruin, to sway the councils of a great commercial and manufacturing nation.  We have authority to contradict the report inserted in the Dublin Evening Mail and other Papers, that the Marquis of No RAIANBY is not going back to Ireland. The Tory Papers invent all kinds of falsities to excite dissatisfaction with the Ministers, and encourage the hopes of their friends ; and this report is one of them. The Noble Marquis intends, we can state positively, to return to that country the first week in January, and the ladies and gentlemen who have made arrangements to be present at the next levee and draw. ing room will not be disappointed by those ceremonies not taking place.  The Paris Papers of Thursday, have been received, with those of Madrid of the 13th instant. Their contents are of no political interest. ESPARTERO is using all his influence to have CORDOVA and NA RvAEz tried and shot by command of a courtmartial. If treason were to meet its deserts ESPARTERO'S head is the first in the QUEEN'S service that ought to fall.
