PEF.r.-„ I can only say, in conclusion," said his " that I see nothing in the state of affairs of ii ecuury either at home or abroad to induce any Mix Aster to retire from office." None but men panting for dace could see anything to cause his resignation ; but 'every friend of liberty abroad, end peace at home, can e,r mueh that ought to induce Lord MELnourtxr. of to resign. Ever since the detection of Lours f_ll-1r the return of the Tories to power was alone --.-an.ing to destroy the germs of fret institutions in • Pcni:istila, and bring the whole of Western Europe • within the pale of the Holy Alliance. Great .;ritain under a Liberal Government is now the only -power to whom the oppressed of every country can !had,: for sympathy and aid, and on that account the MuLnoun NE .'idininistration would by deserting their mist incur fearful resnen,ibility. But tint . is little. compared with our domestic peace, an..l the security of our own imti!ntions. The people • Ireland are in a state of alarm at the very idea o' .orange misrule. Their inajorit,..' of their liTresentalivcs have repeatedly declared, that their only hope of' ...safety is in Lord MuLGRAvE's Government, and the continuance of the present Ministers in power. The kie!r:rdl Association (hot the other day) unanimously ,‘amc to a similar resolution ; and 2.fter the effective at1;l determined suppoit which Lord NTEunoun.sc. has received from both the Representatives and the people of Ireland, it would be something worse even than I ase ingratitude, because of some temporary difficulties, to hand them o cc, evEm for a time, to the tender mercies an 0 an4e faction. Three months' misrule would do inca'culable mischief in that cou:itry. A liberal Government obtains additional strength every day £hat it remains in office. It gets ranged on its side more men of influence and power, more liberal judges, more liberal bishoos, more liberal Lords Lieufenant and Magistrate.; ; and, by showing a determination of purpose and a resolution not to yield, it will in a very short periol draw over all those, and the number is not • who do not support a Government fot nothing. To resign because every good measure cannot be carried at once would be an act of political suicide, and a tacit admission that the Lords, and not the representatives of the people, can alone govern the country. The people of the United Kingdom are not inattentive to the contest that is going on between the two Houses, and the support which they will give to the Government in the day of need will depend much on the spirit with which Lord MELBOURNE stands forward in their behalf. We have no reason to doubt the course he will pursue—he has never yet flinched or truckled to the House of Lords—he declared last Session that while the representatives of the people stood by him, he would stand by them—and he declared on Friday night that, notwithstanding the clamour of the party, he would not incur the responsibility in a moment of temporary defeat or disaster, to withdraw that assistance from Spain, to which, by every dictate of good faith and every principle of honour he was pledged. These energetic declarations have damped the spirits of his opponents, and the unanimous approbation which they have received from the great body of the public, is only an earnest of .the support which an upright, determined, and patriotic Minister may expect for the people.  tuners connected with them, as well as sowing the seeds of distrust among the mercantile community generally. The last advices from America, which come down to the 3d instant, state the measures adopted there to arrest the mischievous results of former imprudence. There had been commerc:al crisis, and several large flilnres had taken place, principally among parties deeply implicated in land speculations in the Western States, which have been for soul time chaining the eastern and commercial districts of specie. The Bank of t'ic U States had however come forward at the solicitation of the principal merchants of New York, and interposed its powerful arm to ward off the blow which threatened the commercial interests of the Union. The Bank proposes to " substitute for the private credit of individuals, the more known and established credit of the Bank, until public confidence in private stability has time to revive." In accordance with this enlightened .:den, of the question, the Bank is to issue its engagemcits, payable in London, Paris, and Amsterdam, which engagements will be remitted to Europe instead of private bills. The result of this important operation cannot fail to be most beneficial. T!!c Bank of England cannot refuse to discount the paper of the National Bank of America—indeed the proposal may be %;aid to have originated With the Bank of England—immediate relief will be afforded to the merchants trading with America, and general confidence may be anticipated. We may add, that the resoluti.'n of the Bank had given the greatest satisfaction at New York. Time deep gloom which had prevailed had, on the fact being made public, been succeeded by sudden cheerfulness and universal joy.  The Paris papers of Friday and Saturday have 'Leen received. Th 2 Moniteur contains copies of the congratulatory addresses of the two Chambers to the KING and the Duke of ORLEANS, on the approaching marriage of the heir apparent to the French ' throne, with the answers of his MAJESTY and Royal Highness. There is nothing in these documents worth extracting. They are a string of complimentary common places—nothing more. In the Chamber of Deputies, on Friday, M. DuPIN, the President, presented the Report of the Committee on the Bill for granting an additional allowance to the Duke of
