LONDON, FEB. 14. THE Paris papers 'o Saturday's date have arrived. The Chamber of Deputies met on the previous day to organize the Committees for the ensuing month, when Ministers had a great majority. About 330 mem- bers were present, and out of the nine bureaux, Con- servative Presidents and Secretaries were chosen in eight —The expected courier from Madrid had arrived at the British embassy, but nothing transpired respect- ing the sta'e of the negotiations between France and Spain. A report prevailed that the Spanish Govern- ment was willing to admit that the publication of the Guteirrez dispatch was wrong, while it insists that the allegations against \1. Lesseps were true. This ap- pears very improbable. If Espartero is convinced of the allegations, he would not risk his political and mi- litary position hv offering any apology whatever. The Opposition journals, for want of a better subject, con- tinue their invectives against M.Guizot and his friends. the English. In allusion to the remarks of Sir Robert Peel, about a commercial treaty with France, one of them perwerselv asserts that France would hear with anxiety of such a measure, and would have reason to be alarmed if it were concluded under the auspices of the Foreign Minister. Nothing, in fact, will satisfy these gentlemen but the overthrow of Guizot and Soult, who speak respectfully of England-and then a war with this country.—The late nnfavourable news from Algiers still occupies public attentton in Paris, and se- rious apprehensions are entertained that affairs are worse than represented. It appears that hy letters from that quarter that Gen. Bugeaud and all the dis- posable troops were hastening againt the active Abd- el-Kader. 111 one of these letters we find the following singular admission:—"It is positive, says a corres- pondent in one of these journals, that if thiGovernor- General had delayed his operations against the Emir for a fortnight, we should probably not have been able to restrain a single tribe."—Nearly 3000 workmen of Paris had enrolled their names at the Ministry of Ma- rine, as colonis's for theMarquesasIslands. On Thurs- day thev addressed a deputation with an offer of their services to the Minister of Marine, who replied that no plan had'vet been adopted for the colonization of those islands.—There had been a contiuued fall of snow in France to" some days. In the environs of Paris it was so deep that the works, at the fortifications were sus- pended, and the diligencies were stopped on 'he Mar- seilles road, a" well as on several other roads in the south. Madrid papers 'o the 5th inst. have been received. In the Gazette of the 4th appears a dispatch from Gen. Seone, dated the 30th of January, to the Minister of War, giving an account of the resistance made at Bar- celona to the military, and the open and violent attacks made upon officers, as well as men. Last night," said be, matters assumed a more serious and alarming aspect. A number of groups disseminated on various points, but principally in the Calle San Fernando, in- sulted 'and pursued some officers who were passing, and whom they obliged first to make use of their arms, and next to seek, in such houses as were open, a shelter against the furv of their assailants A patrol that hastened to the spot was also insulted. At the moment this scene was taking place, a detachment was, at an- other place, pelted with stones from a balcony. The groups were being considerably reinforced, and their attitude was becoming more and more hostile and threatening, when the arrival of the Governor-General, at the bead of a battalion, dispersed them in several directions. Patrols moving on all sides, completed the restoration of order. By ljiese facts, and others I omit here, your Excellency will be enabled to judge of the volcanic condition in which the city is, and of the in- efficacvof 'he measures I have hitherto resorted to, in order to calm the public mind, and cool the unbridled passions that agitate most of the inhabitants. To the many elements of disorder which this population con- tains, must be added the machinations, more numerous still, of those who strive to turn to account this state of the public mind. I am, therefore, compelled to adopt efficient measures against those who, in the clubs, or by incendiary exhortations and publications, make it their task to complete the ruin of the city. I can as- sure your Excellency that I shall rid myself of them, by using the extraordinary powers which the state of singe confers on me. I hope your Excellency will com- municate this dispatch to his Highness the Regent:7- On the arrival of the dispatch, a Cabinet was held, which sat for five hours, and the result was, that Es- partero had authorised the Captain-General of Cata- lonia to use all the means at his disposal in order to check sedition, and prevent Barcelona from becoming the theatre of ano'her deplorable commotion.—The Governor of Tarragona has ordered the disarmament the National Guard of Reuss, in consequence of their b*vm$r refused to obey the orders of the authorities. Lisbon letters to the 6th inst., brought by the Lady Mary Wood steamer, state that there had been some serious disturbances at Oporto—not that any great acts of violence bad taken place, but that the people ap- peared TesoI>'e« not to pay the assessed taxes, which had been somewhat rigorously levied and it appears that the Authorities had ultimately given way and withdrawn the troops to their quarters. Oporto letters of the 3d stated that a collision had taken place on the t 2d between the troops and the people that blows had been stnick, but that the town was then quiet. It appears to have been, however, a very trifling affair, and scarcely anything was done to preveti' the tumul- tuous assemblages, which occupied the streets on the 31st nit., and 1st and 2d inst., exclaiming against the tnes; but rather that the crowds had been momenta- rily pacified by the withdrawal of the troops, and the assurances of the Authorities that their complaints had been represented to the Home Government. The enemies of the Ministry endeavoured to turn the dis- content to political account. The Government had been seriously occupied with the subject, and had despatched the Conde de Santa Maria to resume his duties there of Military Governor, with extensive powers and Senhor J. da Silva Cabral, brother of the Home Minister, had also been sent as Civil Governor ad interim. They left on the 5'11 by the Oporto steamer. Lisbon wa? quiet, but a feeling of discontent existed on account of the new taxes. Advices from Constantinople to the 181b of January have been received. It would appear that the dispute between Austria and the Porte, on the subject of stfam navigation in the Black Sea, has created some bad feeling between the two Governments. After covertly conceding the point, the Turkish Government privately took measures to prevent its subjects from embarking in the Austrian steamers. M, Kletzel, the Austrian Charge d' Affaires, indignant at this conduct, suspended his relations with the Porte, refusing to hold any com- munication on this or any other affair till he received further instructions from his Government. We learn from Prague that great distress at present reigns in the mountains of Erzgebirge, on the confines of Saxony and Bohemia. Several thousand persons are suffering from scarcity of food. and the cold had set in with extraordinary severity. The Prague Gazette makes an appeal to the public in favour of this unfortu- nate district. The inhabitants are principally miners.

The various markets in the manufacturing districts during the past week have been exceedingly limited and unsatisfactory in their trade at Manchester the depression is considerable Leicester shows a trifling improvement. It is currently reported in the leading political clubs that Sir James Graham is likely to be selected to suc- ceed Lord ElIenhorough as Governor-General of India. Lord Maryborough having resigned the Captainship of Deal Castle, his Grace the Duke of Wellington, as Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, has appointed the Earl of Dalhousif as his Lordship's successor. I Lord Londonderry, out of pique, it is said, at the appoiutmentofthe Marquis of Anglesea totheColonelcy of the "Blues," vacant by the dea'h of'Lcrd Hill, has withdrawn his name from the Carlton Club. Captain Sir Thomas Fellowes, C.B., has been ap- pointed Superintendent of the Victualling Department at Plymouth, hi the room of Cap'ain Coode, whose period of service has expired, and who takes with hi:n into his retirement the respect and esteem of all parties. The report of considerable reductions being contem- plated in this department is not authorised bv a-ny orders that have yet been received. — Plymouth Times A most formidable row" took place in Covent- garden theatre, on Monday night. The occasion was the appearance of a Mr. Gregory in the character of Hamlet. He has been knowu for some time as the -chief of a company of amateur actors, and is said to be -connected with the Satirist newspaper, which is cele- lebrated for its attacks on private character, and to the indignation of persons aggrieved through this medium the uproar of the night is attributed. The first scene was allowed to proceed quietly; but directly Hamlet was seen the audience broke out into a yell that sur- passes description, accompanied with all the oppro- brious epithets that the English language will afford, drowning eVcfY sound-of approbation from his friends A gentleman in the >fage-box addressed Mr. Gregory with vehement gestures, but he was not to be heard, And not a word that was uttered by Mr. Gregory him- .self was in the slightest degree audible. It was evi- dent, however, that Mr. Gregory preserved the most •complete presence of mind., and during his speech he ofteu pointed scornfully to thegentleman in the private box. With the second act commenced a fresh uproar, which continued until the green curtain descended, and thus Hamlet terminated before the conclus-ion of the second act The part of the audience in favour of Mr. Gregory set up a shout in their turn when the farce commenced, and which was played to the end in dumb show. 1 We underhand the marriage of the Crown Prince of Hanover (Prince George of Cumberland) and the Princess Mary of At enbourg is to take place on Satur- day next, the 18th inst. Mr. Ru'herford, M.P., at a meeting with his con- stitnen's at Lei h, on Monday last, declared himself a convert to the total repeal of the Corn-laws. It is stated that, in consequence of a representation made to the Duke of Wellington, complaining of the conduct of the mili ary (the :J',2d) stationed in Leeds, Major-General iJrotiierton has been sent to that place to inves' ignte the charges, and report to the Government dw result of his inquiries. At a meeting of the Merchant Seamen's Orphan Asylum, held on Monday at the London Tavern, the Report sta'ed that the expenses during the last year had amounted to 2,35S/ and the receipts in subscriptions and donations to 2,So3/. THE IH DI.KY M\GIS IIIVTF.S — In the Court of Queen's Bench, on Saturday, in the case, The Queen v. Badger and anetker," Dudley .Magistrates,—rule nisi had been ob- tained, calling upon the defendants, the Rev. T. Badger and the Rev. W. Clotwoi tliy, to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against them for unlawfully and illegally refusing to accept the bail tendered for Arthur O'Niel, the Chartist lecturer. The case was argued at great lpngth, during the comse of last term, by the Solicitoi- General against the rule, and bv Mr. Erie in support of it, a'td the Court took time to consider its decision. —Lord Denman this morning delivered the judgment of the Court, and said, that, in conformity with the rull's laid down for their guidance, the Court did not think it right to interfere by crindal information, and that, therefore, the rule must be discharged but that. inasmuch as the conduct of the Ma- gistrates had been such as to justify the application, they must pay all the costs of if. THE CH AKTIST TRIALS — The trial of Feargus O'Con- nor, and the other Chartists connected with the Manchester Conference and disturbances, will take place at Lancaster on the 25th inst which is a month earlier than they ex- pected that they wou'd be tried, and a Special Jury has been struck for the purpose. Mr. O'Connor has given di- rections that Sir James Graham, Mr. Bailey, iniil-owner and some others of similar standing, should be subpoenaed to give evidence in his favour. Mr. Roberts, a relation of Chief Justice Tindal is the attorney for the 59 Chartists in- cluded in the indictment. Mr. O'Connor, in his address states that he has expended upwards of 20001. in law ex- penses, and that, as the "Victim Fund" is exhausted, 59 innocent men will be tried and sacrificed," unless the Chartists come forward and.contribute generously towards their defence. THE GOVERNMENT CURRENCY PI.AV.—A good deal of interest has been excited by a plan that has been produced, called "The Government Currency Plan," the teading features of which are, that Government take the issue of all the paper money into its own hands, and make advances of it at the rate of two per cent. to such an extent as mav be required to ensure the amount in circulation being neither excessive nor deficient to all pe sons depositing double the amount of real security, in place of allowing bankers to issue it without any further cost than an annua) iicense of a few pounds. As it is calculated that a paper money thus based on the real property of the country would be as "sound and safe" a currency as any foreign metal that was ever pro- duced, and thus lender gold unnecessary for any other than our foreign trade further, that as by thereby making our- selves parti-.illy independent of foreign gold, in place of establ shing for it a fixed or "monopolly" price of 31. 17S. lOtd. per ounce, Government might be enabled to repeal 5,000,0001. of taxes, and provide for the gradual and honest liquidation of the national debt within one hondred years the matter begins to assume a somewhat serious aspect. At the first blush of the thing, people thought the project somewhat Utopian. As, however, three of the leading mer- cantile daily journals in the metropolis have concurred in recommendiug it to consideration,—the Times saying that 'the main principle" is "sound;" the Sun, that "inme measure must be adopted for reforming the currency of the country;" and the Shipping and Mercantile Gazette pro- nouncing the plan to be the most rational and practicab)p and the "least objectionable that has been issued," and entitled to consideration from the world of commerce and finance and the public; it is clear that our monetary laws: cannot be much longer deUyed.— Worcester Journal. DEATH OF RICHARD CAHLHE—This notorious cha- racter expired on Friday last.-Of the former opinions and doctrines of the deceased there are, and will be, bnt few admirers, hut for the last ten years these (both theological and political) had become gradually modified; and as they lost their asperity and bitterness, so he seemed to lose his former supporters. About a month ago he returned from Enfield, where for the last five years he had resided, and started a weekly periodical, cal:ed the Christian Warrior which only reached three numbers, the third being finished only the day before his death. In it he draws a striking summary of his present position; he declares that on ac- Count of his attempts to make the great truths of the Bible harmonious with those of nature, of physical and moral science, this course has brought me more frowns than in- fidelity brought, more than even nominally avowed Atheism. I have now iost the support of all sects and parties. Incon- venient as it is in worldly commercial affairs, I am proud of the position, and feel myself a giant towering over and frightening political and theological pigmies." But the character of Mr. CarFle is not to be drawn from his theolo- gical notions. His political opinions, if extreme, wet e always conscientious, honest, and manly, and the nine years' im- prisonment he sustained, and total ruin of his business, show his sincerity and indomitable con-age in fighting for the liberty of the press. His circumstances at last were very bad, and but for the benevolence of a few, would bne been of the most necessitous kind. As it was, the want of com- forts of life and medical aid, no doubt, hastened his death. Friday he rapidly sunk. His last declaration to a friend was to the effect that his life had been one continued struggle for truth, and mental and physical liberty, and that his conscience approved his efforts." He had only just entered on his 53d year. WRIGHT'S BANKRUPTCY.—On Saturday, in the Banruptcy Court, John Wright, of the firm of Wright and Co., bankers. Henrietta-street, Covent Garden, applied for his certificate, ind was not opposed by any of his creditors. Mr. Commissioner Holroyd, however, refused the applica- tion in consequence of his great abuse of the .rt)st reposed in him as a hanker, having embarked sums to a very large amount in wild and uncertain adventures, risking the moneys of others without their consent, with the chance of gain only to himself, o. to the house of which he was a member, and at the hazard of logs, and perhaps ruin, not only to himself, but to those whose moneys be bad unjustifiably staked. He had drawn upon the house, of which he was the manager, above 160,0001., exclusively of his share of profits, leaving the firm without security of any kind for upwards of 130,0001. of this amount. The Conrt considered this a case of extreme delinquency, and that it would not be consonant with justice that a person reduced to bankruptcy by such a course ofdeating should receive, at the hands of the Court a release from debts and liabilities so unwarrantably incurred. Having anxiously weighed all the circumstances, the Court considered that a due regard to the interests of creditors and to the preservation of good faith in commercial dealings as well as to the injury and misery the conduct of the bank- rupt was calculated to produce, rendered it imperative that this case should he made an example and especially to those in whom confidence and trust were necessarily re- posed. The judgment of the Court therefore was, that the certificate of John Wright must be refused. THE LATE LEvY S.HOMONS,- This benevolent mer- chant, emulating his brethren of the Jewish persuasion gone before, has left by will legacies for charitable purposes amonnting altogether to the sum of 6850/. —viz., 2000< 300! 500l., 500L and 10001. to the Synagogue in Leadenhall-street; 1 Got to the Great Synagogue in Duke's-place; 1001. to the Society in London for distributing Bread, Meat, and Coals amongst the Ge, man Jews; 1001, to the Sabbath Society in London for distributing 5s. weekly in the winter to the poor; 1501. to the Hamburgh Society in Fenchurch-street; 1001. to the Portugese Synagogue in Bevis Marks; and 20001. to be applied for the benefit of the poor Jews at Jerusalem, Tiberas, Shebron, and Safat, all free of legacy duty. Surely this sympathy (which is common among the Members of the most ancient Religion") is worthy the imitation of Christian professors. Should it not remind them of the command, Go ye and do likewise," and awaken their charitable feelings also towards their poorer brethren ? ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAIL- WAY.—An accident, attended with loss of life, happened on the London and Brighton Railway on Friday. A loco- motive engine, driven by Goldsmith, was proceeding np the line with a train of ballast-waggons, at one o'clock, just as a number of labourers, who had been to dinner, were return- ing to their work, near the seven-arch bridge, between the Redhill and Horlev stations. As the train appioached at the usual speed, Thomas Andrews stepped in front of the engine when only about ten yards off, and his companions immediately called out lustily to him; but, in an instant before there was a possibility of stopping the engine, lie was knocked down, and the whole train passed over him completely severing his head from his body and mutilation the trunk in a fiightftil manner. The deceased was a man of extraordinary penurious habits, and had contrived, from his wages as a common labourer, to amass a considerable property for his station in life. He has often been seen making his dinner from the beans given to the liorse,. He was conversing cheerfully with his companions just before the accident, and the only way in which his actions can be accounted for is by supposing that he was suddenly taken with a fit, which caused him to stagger on to the rails in front of the train,

ffogtacripfc LONDON, WEDNESDAY, FEB. 15. Accounts from Paris announce the termination for the present of the differences between the French and Spanish Governments. It would appear that the British Minister at Paris had taken an active part in the arrangement, and that both parties had consented to yield a little of their pretensions. We learn also from another telegraphic dispatch from Perpigna, that an arrangement had been come to between General Seoane and the inhabitants of Barcelona, and that he had consented to remit the remainder of the contribution. UOD.MIV ELECTION.—The nomination of candidates to supply the vacancy occasioned in the representation of this borough, by the death of Lord Vivian, took place on Wednesday, when Mr. Sawle, Liberal, and Sir Samuel Spry, Conservative, were nominated, and a poll was fixed to take plrtce on Thursday, which terminated in favour of Sir Samuel by four votes, the numbers being 165 to 161.
IMP ERIAL PARLIAMENT.
IMP ERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LOHDS. MONDAY, FEB. IS.—The Lord Chancellor having taken his seat on the woolsack, the. Duke of Wellington laid papers on the table relative to the AfFghan war, and postponed his motion for a vote of ibaoks to the Governor-General and the Army of India until Monday next. I" answer to a question from Lord Monteagle, the Duke of Wellington said that there was no intention on the part of Govern- ment to alter the Bank Charter till 1844, and if any alteration was contemplated, due notice would be given ;-that there was no in- tent ion of proposing an alteration in the law respect ing the Bankrupt Trade;—and that the Government intended to continne the Act relating to Usnrv. DEBTORS' COMPOSITION.—Lord Brougham brought in a bill for the amendment of the law relating to debtors and creditors' composition when the Lord Chancellor said the Government had a bill on the same subject, and suggested that the two bills should he referred to a Select Committee.—The proposition was agreed to. DEFAMATION AND LIBEL,-Lord CamplleU rose, according to notice, to bring in a new bill to amend the law relating to defama- tion and libel. Lord Brougham seconded the motion. The Lord Chancellor, Lord Cottenham, and Lord Denman con- curred in the motion, which was agreed to. SOLICITORS AND ATTORNEYS.—Lord Longdate moved the second reading of the Bill for the regulation of solicitors and attorneys. The system of examination introduced in 1831 bad worked very efficiently, and its results were obvious in the im- proved state in which persons have of late presented themselves before the examiners. But the present measure was intended to make some alteration in the regulations relating to certificates and enrolments. After a few words from Lord Wharticliffe, the bill was read the second time, and the House adjourned. TUESDAY, FEB. 14 —The Lord Chancellor took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock when the Committee on the law of Libel were nominated. VOTE OF THANKS TO THF. ARMY AND NAVY EMPLOYED IN CHINA.—The Duke of Wellington, after directing that the para- graphs in the Royal Speech which related to our victories in China should be read by the Clerk, proposed that their Lordships should express their approbation of the services of her Majesty's fleel and army in the course of the operations by which such im- portant success had been attained. He narrated with exlrerne particularity, but without adverting to any subject of dispofe, the places at which the forces had been engaged, and the circumstances of their achievements from the first commencement of hostilities, comparing, as tie proceeded, the relative difficulties whieh^ tlie troops had respectively lo overco ne, and especially specifying the series of operations by the united services Iroin Ihe attack of the heights of Canton, of the conclusion of the war, as unprece- the series of operations by the united services Iroin the attack of the heights of Canton, of the conclusion of the war, as unprece- dellted in the naval and military history of this country, and attended with wonderful success." The excellent arrangements by which ships and soldiers had been in each instance so combined as to co-operate most effectually, and the good understanding which suhsisted between the commanders of the naval and land forces deserved particular commendation, as it was to this that their uniform, rapid, and almost bloodless victories were to be attributed. He enlarged upon the advantages to be expected from the treaty which our success had extorted from the Emperor the admirable discipline, forbearance, and humanity of the troops and concluded by requesting their Lordships'unanimous concur- rence in the resolution be proposed. Lord Auckland hid the more satisfaction in expressing his per- fect Hccordance with the high praise which had been bestowed upon the forces, as he bad selected Sir H Gough and Sir W. Parker for the service. The Noble Lord then drew attention to the claims of the Native Indian Army, which appeared to have been somewhat overlooked: but the omission was instantly supplied by the Duke of Wellington. The Marquis of Lansdotvne regretted that the name of Sir H. Pottinger, who had acted as her Majesty's Plenipotentiary, was omitted from the resolutions. The Duke of Wellington explained, that as the vote was one of thanks for military services alone, his name could not with pro- priety be included. Lord Brougham, Lord Haddington, and Lord Minto shortly ex- pressed their entire concurrence in the vote and after a few words of high eologium upon Sir H. Pottinger from Lord Aberdeen, the resolutious were carried unanimously. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY, FEB. 13.—The Speaker took the chair at the usual hour, when several petitions against the act for the union of the Dioceses of Bangor and St. Asaph were presented. On the motion of Lord Granville Somerset, a Committee was appointed, to which all Divorce Bills shonld be referred. Sir R. Peel, after presenting some papers relative to the war n Atfghanistan. postponed his motion for a vote of thanks to Lord Ellenboroiigb and the army of the Indus till Monday, so as to enable Members, he observed, to read the whole oi the papers connected with that war. THE FORGED EXCHEQUER BILLS.—The Chancellor of the Exchequer submitted the views of the Government with reference W» the mode in which they intended to deal witii Ihe hnlden of the Exchequer bills which had been so extensively forged and circulated, and it was to the following effect that out of forged j Exchequer bills to the amount of 377 ,0001. the holders of bills to the amount of 262,000f. were entitled to the favourable con- sideration of Parliament, and to that amount Government were bound to make good the losses. Interest would be paid on that so in from the time of the issue. -Mr. Williams expressed his disapproval of the measure. He did not think that the evidence upon which it was founded was of » sufficiently searching cha- racter to enable tbe House to make these immense grants of the public money.—A long debate ensued, which, however, presented nothing new in Ihe details of this nefaroas transaction, and the Hoose resu-ned. DISTRESS OF THE COUNTRY.—On the motion of Lord Homck, that part of her Majesty's speech relating to the distress of the country was then read by the Clerk, at the table. Lord Howick then rose, to bring forward his promised motion on the subject of the distress of the country. His Lordship, in a dispassionate speech, showed that the agricultural and the manu- facturinc interests are alike labouring under the greatest depres- sion that no immediate symptoms of improvement are visible; and that in many towns last summer there was the greatest pos- sible difficulty in collecting poor-rates, in consequence of their increased pressure, and the frightful diminution in every species of business. He next alluded to the late serious falling ofT in the Excise, which he justly described as an unerring index to the state of the waking population and drew a forcible picture of the sufferings experienced by thonsands or the indnslrious and 'S intelligent individuals, who, from the iron pressure of inexorable ne -essity were compelled by degrees to increase the seventy or their household retrenchments, until at length they found Kallnt Starvation sitting, an unbidden guest, by their cold, cheerless hearth and themselves and their families with scarce ;r a rag left to cover them. "This distress," continued the Noble Lord, "cannot continue much longer without extreme danger to the institutions and the peace of .he country. And it must be owned that when the people suffer genera) poverty and privation, it mllst be occasionsd by some fault of their rulers. I do not mean that occasional visitations of nation* d.stres.. can he averted by human prudence; but I beheve thata great part of themare oo- casioned bv the errors of mankind themselves, and I, therefore, think that'the long dnration of the present distress oflers in it- self a strong presumption that there is something wrong in our social organization. If there be not something wrong .n our social condition, something i» wrong in the political machine. Lord Howick then spoke of competition as being one great cause of the existing distress of the operative classes and added, If there is this immense competition, to what is it to be "«"ha'ed ? Msinfv in m> opinion, to the want of a sufficient field for the employment of the industrv of the country. It is therefore to extend this lielil, to make new openings for the employment of the industrv and capital of the country, that all our attention ought to be directed." His Lordship conclcded by impressing on the House the necessity of relaxing many of the restrictions under which commerce now languished, and moved a resolution to the efleet that it should resolve itself into a Committee of the whole House, to consider so much of her Majesty's speech as re- ferred to the depression of the manufacturing interests of the C°Mr7Gladstone asked, why had the Noble Lord proposed to go into a Committee without being prepared to produce any measure for their consideration? It should seem that he must have cal- culated upon the rejection of his own motion. Even the measures of last year, specific as thev were, had, during their dissuasion, the ill effects of unsettling the public mind. What, then, must be the inconvenience and disadvantage of originating a Committee for reconsidering and reconstructing the whole system of last \ear, without the suggestion of any thizig to supply its place? The great object at the back of this motion was, no doubt, the Corn Laws. But gentlemen opposite did not agree about (bat law; some were for total repeal others, with Lord John Russell at their head. were for a fixed duty. He did not say, after the experietxe of so many changes in the laws respecting corn, that the present Corn Law must be immutaite; but be did say that the principle of protection for corn must be maintained so long as protection sb >uId be continued to the produce of the country. NA-lial he objected to was, that an increase of trade to be pro- duced by the relaxation of restrictions on the import of corn was only assumed, and not demonstrated; while the displacement of agricultural labour at home would be certain and immediate. But it was said we ought to give to Foreign States, at least, an indication of our willingness to remove restrictions. We had given such indications in our tarin'of fast year; but while France, and Germany, and America should continue to adopt an adverse or an uncertain policy, we should not venture to increase these indications. „ Mr. Labonchere supported the motion.—Mr. Ferrand was as absurd as ever, and moved that the proposed Committee should inquire into the effects of machinery, ficc. The debate was then adjourned. „ TUESDAY, FEn. 14.—On the Speaker taking the chair, Mr. T. Buncombe presented a petition from Liverpool, complaining of LOJd Abinger's charges at Chester and Liverpool, and praying an address to the Crown to remove him from the bench.

— »■> ><!< — LORD HOWICK'S MOTION.—The Noble Member fOr Sunderland brought forward the motion of which be had given notice on Monday last. The motion wag, that the House should resolve itself into a Commits0* of the whole Hoase, to consider so much of her NI", jesty s Speech as refers to "that depression of the I manufacturing industry of the country which had !lO long prevailed, and which her Majesty has so deep 1/ lamented." His Lordship proceeded at first to sub' stantiafe pro forma (for unhappily evidence is too pro' miuently before us all to render any thing beyond necessary), the basis of his argument, viz., that tM country is at present suffering from an extensive de pression of its manufacturing industry, by statistic*' information referring: to the town of which he is th* representative. In Sunderland, it appears upon questionable authority,that the consumption ofbutchef' meat was, in 1842, but one half of what it was in 18411 The poor-rates, too, had increased in 1842 to jUg" double of what they were six years before. A vd' riety of other information relative to the totvn Sunderland, and most accurately establishing the mt" lancholy proposition, was likewise adduced. evidence was brought forward applicable to the couol/ of Northumberland, for the integrity of which tOo Noble Lord vouches. Yet. this town an l county, Lord Howick confesses his belief, are in a more prosperoo position than other parts of the country. Another il^i in the Noble Lord's evidence was derived from rapid diminution of the excise-a diminution so co'l siderable, tuat no champion of Ihe Government, H sanguine friend of the Ministerial policy, has bH hardy enough to gainsay it. The falling off in ,1 branches of the revenue, Lord Howick contended, most conclusive testimony to the truth of his assert'0"! that the condition of the productive classes of the munity is worse by far than it ever was wont to he.. night his Lordship contend that the state of things 1101 111 accordance with the will of that Being who 'nan and the sentient part of the creation not to end11' uiinii igated evil, but for the enjoyment of happio^ Concurring most fully as we do in this just reflectl We shall dismiss Lord Howick's speech on this imf 'ant subject, and betake ourselves to the reply wb'' 'he Government, through Mr. Gladstone, besto^ upon a demand which was as jnst in its nature as it vj temperately and judiciously preferred. Lord contended that remedial measures ought tobeimDi^J ately adopted by tiie Government to ameliorate 4I condition of the coyntry. Mr. Gladstone excuses 'j Government from adopting this course and how arO apologies shaped ? It may be supposed that he wO" either show that the country is not in the forlorn dition to which, if Lord Howick's statements be cort^J it certainly is reduced or lie might prove tha' 'jf policy pursued by the Conservative administratiol,j|i calculated to renovate our system, and remove the e j of which we complain. He embraced neither of |j alternatives. The fearful picturings of Lord Ho^i were too notoriously jnst to admit of any contradic''( The Vice-President of the Board of Trade, too» knew, and knowing, doubtless deplored, that and most lamentable falling off in the fareign e
