EXTENSIVE INCENDIARY FIRE.—We regret to state that between one and two o'clock on Thursday morning lalit a fire was discovered upon a faim in the parish of Trumpington, within two miles of Cambridge, the pro- petty of Trinity College, ut.der lease to Colonel Pember- lot), and in the occupation of Messrs. John Spencer and L. Eddlestone. The barn, which, with its contents, was entirely destroyed, contained between a hundred and fifty, aid two hundred loads of superior unthrashed wheat; a stable with the whole of the harness, and a granary and bullock shed, were burnt to the ground, as also a very large stack of wheat straw, and the remainder of the nu- merous buildings are materially injured. Some quarters of good peas, and the fleeces of wool recently clipped from twelve to thirteen score of fine sheep, were also so much damaged as to render them all perfectly useless. We have much satisfaction in stating that all parties were fully insured in the Sun Fire-office, but at the same time lament that there can be no doubt of the conflagration having been the act of an incendiary; the situation of the premises from the house, where the flames were first ob- served, fully bears out this assertion, and ai.y candle or j light near the spot at this time of the year would be alto- gether unnecessary,-Cfnibridge Chron. A letter having been written to the Lords of the Trea- sury on the subject of the proceedings adopted by the Board of Excise against the medical profession, for selling spirits of wine without a licence, a letter has been re- ceited in reply, stating that physicians, apothecaries, sur- geons, or chemists, ale allowed to make use of spirits of wine, or of any spirituous liquors, in the preparation of medicines, or to sell them so prepared and mixed with medicine, without incurring any penalty but if a chemist or other person shall retail liquors in a pure, uoadulterated state without a lirence for such purpose, he shall incur the penalty of fifty pounds. A very general practice has ob- tained amongst chemists and druggists of selling spirits of wine for miscellaneous and household purposes, which has been very injurious to the licensed dealer.

REBECCA AND HER DAUGHTERS. In consequence of the continued unsettled state of South W ales, owing to the de ermination of parties known by the de. signation of Rebecca and her daughters to destroy property, and i espeCially turnpike gales, orders were received at an early hour on Sunday morning, at Woolwich, to have in readiness a six- pounder field gun and a twelve-pounder howitzer,lwhich were se- lected from the field tiain department, and at ten o'clock, a.m., they left Woolwich with the usual number of men of the Royal Artillery, required for their seivice in the field, under the corn. mand ot Capt. Taylor, with Lieut. Wodehouse. The orders were to pioceed to Bristol by the Great Western Railway, and fiom Bristol to Carmarthen with the least SIT>le delay, in case their presence migh' be required to put a slop to :he rioting and destruction of prope ty in thai quarter. The following list of gates destroyed appears in the Welsh- man :— The gates destroyed since our last publication, as well as we can ascertain, are the fol'owing :-The Fontnewydd Gate and toll house (to which the dragoons were called out, and, after scouring the country for about fourteen miles, returned without even having seen a suspicious character) the New Inn Gate. near Llandilo; the Gwarallt Gate, near Lampeter, aud a toll. bar near it, on Monday night; two gates near Cardigan the Pont-twely Gate, between Rhydfach and Llandyssil, on Friday night; the Pumpsaint Giie, near Dolecothy, on Thursday and the Bronfeldn Gate, five miles from Llandovery, on the road leading to Llanwrtyd, on Saturday. The magistrates have caused several persons to be apprehended on suspicion of destroying this gate, aud are busily employed in investigating the affair. Such was the difficulty of obtaining a person to receive the tolls at the liionfelen Gale, that fourpence was al- lowed to the collector for every shilling he received. The fol- lowing is a list of the gates, toll-liouses, and toll-bars that have been des'royed in the Three Common's District-New- bridge gate, bar, and toll-house; Troedyrhiwgoch gate, Llan- fihangel house and three gates, Castell-y-ihingil gate and house (twice), Llanedy Forest bar and toll-box, Ystillisycoed bar. Treveniy bars and house, Trefuch bar and house, Wernbongam bar, Kidwelly gate and house (twice), Llanarthney bar, Nan tygath bar, Penrhiwgoch bar, Masybont bar and house. It is a rather singular fact, that not a single turnpike gate has been destroyed on a Sunday." The Welshman contains the following The Rebecca trials excite very great interest. The busi. nesi of our assizes, which commence to-morrow, will be un- usually heavy. There are nearly seventy persons on bad charged with having been concerned in the late riots. Besides these, there are six in the borough gaol charged with rioting at 1 ullog. There are also four prisoners in the county gaol for divers offences. It is not the fact, as has been slated by some of our contemporaries, that Sir William Follett is to conduct the prosecution against the Rebeccaites, at the ensuing Carmar- thenshire Assizes. Messrs. Chilton, Q.C., John Evans, Q.C., and E. V. Williams, have been specially engaged for I the the Crown. The government will pay all the expenses of secullng the prisoners, who are to be tried for participating In 'the workhouse affair, and also those who are imprisoned for. the I a I log rio T. One-half only of the expense in every crimina prosecution has always hitherto been paid by the government.'
FATAL ACCIDENT IN THE BRISTOL…
FATAL ACCIDENT IN THE BRISTOL CHANNEL. WIth deep regret we announce the "death of Captains Drew and Jones, two of the elder brethren of the Trinity House London. It appears that they had been engaged, with others of Ihe brotherhood, whose lives were provi- dentially saved, in surveying the lighthouses in the Bris- tol channel; and when off Trevoise Head they attempted to land in a boat on the Quies Rocks, but owing to the heavy surf they were unable to do so. On rerurning the boat came in contact with the steam yacht, and all in the boat, we believe nine in number, were thrown into the water, by which the unfortunate gentlemen named, were drowned. Our correspondent states that the boat cap- sized but our Bristol correspondent, whose letter we sub- join, says that the boat was cut in two. The steamer put into Padstow on Friday from Penzance, and sailed the same tide for Bristol I. BRISTOL, JULY 15.-The Trinity-house surveying steamer, Argus, arrived at Cumberland basin this morn- ing, with the remains of Captains R. Drewe and J. Jones, two elder brethren of the Trinity.house, who were unfor- tunately drowned yesterday morning, at ten o'clock, off Trevoise-head, Padstow. Several ol the elder brethaen had been surveying the light houses in our channel, and yesterday morning five of them, with four of the crew, attempted to land at the above place but, inconsequence of there being a very heavy sea on, it was considered un" safe to attempt a landing, and they returned to thesteamer. On nearing her the engines were stopped, and in attempt- lug to cross her bows, the boat came in contact with the steamer's stern, while site was heavily pitching, and she w<is cut in two; aud all were immediately immersed in the sea, and melancholy to relate, Captains Drewe and Jones met an untimely death. The other seven were pro- videntially saved. the bodies were secured, and every means adopted to restore animation, but all proved inef- fectual, and their remains were brought here this morning. A coroner's inquest has been held, and a verdict found accordingly. We understand that not the slightest blame is attached 10 any one it was one of those unfortunate accidents which cannot be accounted for. Sir J. H. Pelly was on board the steamer, and left for London this morning per the ilie first traiii.Shil)plng Gazette.
HOUSE OF LORDS.
HOUSE OF LORDS. MONDAY, JULY 17. Lord Brougham gave notice that on Monday next he would move that the printer and publisher of the Kendal Gazette be called to the bar of their Lordships' House for a libel against him, implying that he had introduced a Declaratory Bill into the house for selfish purposes. The Earl of Aberdeen moved the third reading of the Scotch Church Bill, when Lord Cottenham moved that all the declaratory words should be omitted. The motion was negatived without a division, and the bill was passed. The house adjourned to Tuesday.
HOUSE OF COMMONS.
HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY, JULY 17. After some petitions had been presented, An Honourable Member gave notice that he would next session, move for a committee to inquire into the crime of dog stealing. Lord John Russell gave notice that he would this day move an address to her Majesty, praying that her attention might be directed to measures for the improvement of education in Great Britain, and at the same time parliament would heartily concur in any measures to that effect which did not interfere with the rights of conscience. Mr Hinde moved that a new wiit be issued for the city of Durham. The motion was opposed by several members. On a division there were For issuing I he writ. 145 A ga ins tit. 17 128 In answer to a question from Lord John Russell, Sir Robert Peel said instructions had been sent out to the Governor-General of India, explanatory of the views of the government with respect to Sinde. These instructionit would, of course, be contingent upon the state of affairs in that country, but he could not lay them before the house. The Sergeant-at-Arms announced that on Saturday evening he was served with a notice of action for trespass, by Thomas Burton Pearce, clerk to Burton Howard, for taking him into custody in 1840. The Attorney-General said he should move this day that the Sergeant-at-Arrrs do appear and defend tbe suit. On the order of the day for going into committee on the Irish Arms Bill, Mr Wallace asked Sir Robert Peel what were his intentions with regard to the Church of Scotland, and especially as to the bill before the other house. Sir Robert Peel said it was the intention of her Majesty's ministers to use all their influence to carry that measure. The house then went into committee on the Irish Arms Bill, when several clauses were agreed to, and the chairman reported progress—the committe to sit again on Thursday. Mr C. Wood moved for a committee of the whole house, to take into consideration the expediency of reducing the duly on wool, and entered fully into the statistics of the trade in that article. The Chancellor of the Exchequer and Sir R. Peel opposed the measure. On a division, the motion was rejected by a majority of 70. The Coal Whippers Bill was read a second time, the other orders were disposed of, and the house adjourned at a quarter to two ol clock.
FRANCE.
FRANCE. The Paris papers are still filled with comments on the state of Ireland, which appears to create almost as great a sensation in the French capital as in London. The National gives a report of the toasts and speeches made at the banquet held in Paris to celebrate the destruc- tion of the Bastile, as well as the sympathies for Ireland expressed as an episode of that banquet. M. Ledru-Rollin proposed a subscription for Repeal, in a very waim speech, to which, the National tells us, a general movement succeeded. Late in the evening, M. Marrast invited M. Ledru-Rollin, to proceed to Ireland, and acquaint the association committee "how much French hearts were moved" in their behalf. M. Ledru-Rollin accepted the mission. SPAIN. PARIS, JULY 16.-The side movement of the Spanish Regent to Balzole is considered as a retreat to And&lusia, although it is possible to march on Madrid by that road. Three armies, according to the Debats, approach the capi tal-the troops from Burgos, under Urbino; those of Nar- vaez besides from eight to ten battalions led by General Aspiroz, from Velladolid. The latter is the most formida- ble, as also he nearest, advancing by the Guadarrana. A private letter tells us that Van Halen left 500 men at Cor- dova, and 1,500 at Andujar, himself advancing on Seville whither he had begged Gen. Carratela to send a park of ar. tillery from Cadiz. This stationing of troops and keeping some of the towns on the road to Cadiz, shows that the Regent is retreating thither. Lopez is proceeding to Barcelona. An inter- cepted dispatch of the Regent, published by the Barce- lona journals, aunounced his intention of retrograding from Albacete to Ocana, but thick coming events have made him prefer the route by Balazote. The Levant Mail brings Constantinople and Alexandria news of the 26th and 27th, and Malta papers of the 5th. Nothing important. CANADA. Advices have come to hand this morning, from Canada, of the 17th of June. The monetary affairs and trade of Canada aae in a very haH rnnftilinn. Thp Montreal bank, with a paid up capital of £ 500,000, has in circulation less than half that amount, which is mentioned in the Canada papers as a proof of the embarrassed condition of the whole internal trade of the country. The Montreal Mor- ning Courier, of the above mentioned date, alludes to the riots amongst the workmen on the Beauharnois canal, in a manner which leaves cause to fear that the disturbance is of a more serious character than was first imagined, and that it had not been effectually surpressed. The Mon.. real paper blames the Government for the absence of all authority to protect the peaceable inhabitants of the parts infested by the rioters," and adds, "things must have come to a pretty pass when bodtes of armed men set regular troops at defiance, and when a petty warfare is carried on by in surgent workmen against the regular authorities." The cause of the riot was a strike for wages. The pay previ- ously received by the men was 2s, 6d. per day, hours from five in the morning to seven in the evening; they deman- ded 3s. a day, and hours from six in the morning to seven • the whole number employed being about 3000. When' the conflict took place the workmen assembled are stated at 2,000 men. The troops were drawn up under the gal- lery of Grant's hotel, at St. Timothy, about 100 paces from the road, and within sight of the line of the canal, the in- fantry in tbe centre and the cavalry on either flank. The rioters were led by a man dressed in a blue frock coat and straw hat, and they advanced flourishing their clubs within twenty paces of the troops. After being IWlce warned to disperse, the troops were ordered to "fire," and "simulta neously the dragoons chargtd through them." Eight were killed eight or nine besides, pursued by the cavalry, leaped into the St. Lawrence, and being carried down the rapids, were lost. About Iwenlywere wounded, and many more it is expected have died in the woods. The rioters are Mill standing out, and are said to be "drilling in compa- nies," organized by some men in The Upper Canada bat. lalions of infantry. They are represented to be possessed of 600 stand of arms, and 10 barrels of gunpowder. An attempt had been made to decoy a party of troops, and to destroy them, which was frustrated by the prudence of Major Campbell. No less than 147 men, well armed, lay in ambush, ready to overpower th? troops, had they come by the route and at the time expected. A further reinforce- me,, of miltary liad been sent, and the troops are kept under arms with loaded pieces day and night. ARRIVAL OF THE NEW YORK PACKET-SHIP GARRICK. LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY JULY 18.—The steam-ship Columbia, so anxiously looked for, has not arrived, but, in herabsencf, the New Yoik packet-ship Garrick, Captain Skiddy, has brought papers and advices to the 24th lilt. The Hon. Hugh Swinton Legare, Attorney-General of the United Slates and Secretary of State ad interim, ex- pire at Boston unexpectedly, a day or two before the packet sailed. The deceased is described as having pos- sessed eminent talents as a poet, an orator, and a scholar. He was a native of Charlestown, and a member of an an- cietitfrencti tamily. The accounts fromYucatan state that Santa Anna anxious to sellle his differenees with that Republic and with Texas, ha suggested that two commissioners should be chosen by C^/r ° •' 0SiC f°r l'*e purpose of settling, in the city ol i exicot ie> preliminaries of peace.

The matter has been referred to the tribunals. Sir Colman O'Loghlen. Bart., has been elected junior counsel to the Dublin corporation.

SIR ROBERT PEEL, BART., FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY, &a., &c. SIR,-The minds of men in power are generally so warped and perverted by the incense of servile adulation, and so inac cessible to the language of honest truth, that it is probable what I am now about to address to you will be received with little favour or credit. The time, however, is arrived when truth, however unpalata- ble, must be spoken, and when you, Sir Robert, however powerful, must patiently listen to it. "Therefore. be prepared to hear: And since you know you cannot see yourself So well as by reflection, I, your glass, Will modestly discover to yourself That of yourself which yet you knew not of." You are now, for the second time, Prime Minister to the Sovereign of the greatest empire ever known in the history oi nations. When, by the senile caprice of his late Majesty King William IV., you were first advanced to this proud and dis- tinguished position, you obeyed, I believe reluctantly, the commands of your Sovereign, and would gladly have declined a honour which the state of political parties in the House ol Commonsdid not then afford you a fair prospect of being able satisfactorily and constitutionally, to retain for any great length of time. During the whole of your short administration in 1834 5 your conduct was firm, manly, and dignified You defended with active vigour and distinguished ability the system of po licy you had proposed to yourself, and you evaded with admi- rable dexterity the assaults of your political opponents. When forced at last to succumb to the powerful phalanx arrayed against you, you retired from office with graceful propriety, and left behind you a name which, if not distinguished by any great statesmanlike achievements, was, at all events, unsul lied by the charge, or suspicion even, of any great administra- tive incapacity. A peerage was offeled to you but your ambition was not content with so brief an enjoyment of ministerial power, knowing that in the House of Lords you would be a mere cy- pher; in the House of Commons the acknowledged leader of a powerful party, through whose instrumentality you might again be enabled to leach the object of your ministerial aspi- rations, you resumed your seat amongst the representaiives of the people, carefully organised your party, conducted skilfully its operations, and led it ultimately to victory. Your opposi- tion was at first conducted under an appearance of unusual candour, an affectation of the most patriotic regard for the in- terests of the nation, and a constant disclaimer of all ambitious and interested motives. As the late government became more feeble, you grew bolder in your hostility, and less scrupulous in the manner of conducting it. Urged on by the impatience of your more eager partisans, you at last discarded your habi- tual prudence, opposed every measure of the government, severely censured its policy, and declared your unqualified dis- trust of its ability to conduct the administration of public affairs. In the simplicity of my political education I had learned that the people of this country have a claim to the gratuitous advice of those whom they send to represent their interests in the great councils of the nation. It was reserved for you, Sir Hobert, to teach me a more thrifty lesson. When taunted with the concealment of your views upon the great political questions of the day, you enshrined yourself in the mysterious and mercenary reserve of a Delphian priestess, and made the extent of your revelatious for the public good to depend upon the piice that was offered for them. 1 am the physician able and willing to cuie all maladies, moral, social, and political; but I must first be called in, and receive my fee." Such was the language you held out to your constituents of Tamworth. Credulity is one of the peculiar infirmities of the English cha- racter. There has never been a peiiod of our history in which 'he conjuror, the astrologer, and the charlatan have not suc- ceeded in obtaining easy victims to their deceptive practices. Omne ignotum pro magnifico" was a maxim of antiquity. It had not escaped your classical research. You made a dar- ing use of it, and attained your object. At the general election of 1841, the people, allured by your affected professions of su- perior wisdom, had determined that you should be their ruler They gave you a large majority in the House of Commons, and they looked forward with anxious bope to the realisation in your person of an Utopian government. You have been nearly two years at the head of an adminis- tration, comprising men of business habits and undoubted ta- lent, supported by large majorities in both houses of Parlia- ment, and opposed by those who are more anxious to assist you in carrying measures for the good of their country-now on the brink of ruin-than to supplant you in a position which, under such circumstances, would be anything but a bed of roses. I know not, Sir Robert, whether the people have been more deceived in you, or you in your own opinion of yourself. At all events you have been tried and found wanting. The whole of your administration has been a failure, and you exhibit to the world another melancholy instance of vaulting ambition, that 0 er-leaps itself. How grating to your feelings must be the FUTRE?'1008 ^OW dispiriting your hopes of I shall take another opportunity to examine in detail the va- rious measures of your government. Its sins of omission and commission. In the mean time I submit for your perusal the character of an administration drawn many years ago by the celebrated Lord Bolingbroke. It convinces me that there may P^phets without inspiration for every word of it is as ap- plicable to your conduct as if it had been written at the pre- sent hour. The minds of some ministers are like the sanctum sancto- rllm of the temple I have read of somewhere. Before it a great curtain was solemnly drawn within it nothing was to be seen but a confused group of mis-shapen and imperfect forms- heads without bodies-bodies without heads, and the like. 1 0 develope the most complicated cases, and to decide in the most doubtful has ever been the talent of great ministers it is that of others to perplex the most simple and to be puzzled by the plainest. No man was more desirous of power than the minister here intended, and he had a competent share of cun- ning to wriggle himself into it; but then his part was over, and no man was more at a loss how to employ it. The ends he proposed to himself he saw for the most part darkly and in- distinctly and if he saw them a liltle better, he still made use of means disproportionate to them. The Toiies with whom and by whom he had risen expected much from him. Their expectations were ill answered. The minister had evidently no bottom to rest his administration upon, but that of the party at the head of which became into power. If he had rested it there, if he had gained their confidence instead of cre- ating, even wantonly, it I may say so, a distrust of himself in them, it is certain that he might have determined them to every national interest. But this was above his conception as well as his talents. He meant to keep power as long as he could by the little arts by which he got into it. He thought that be should be able to compound for himself in all events, and cared little what became of his party, his mistress, or tbe na- tion. For this purpose he coaxed and persecuted Whigs, he flattered and dissappointed Tories, and supported by a thousand tricks his little tottering administration." You profess, Sit Robert, to be a patriot. Look around you, and behold to what a depth of misery and degradation your unfortunate incapacity has reduced this unhappy country. You must acknowledge that the British vessel of state is in the extremity of danger. Quit, then, the helm, I beseech you; for you are not the pilot who can weather the storm. I have the honour to be, Sir Robert, Your most obedient and very humble servant, London, July 15, 1843. REGINALD J. BLEW ITT.
PARLIAMENTARY OPPOSITION.
PARLIAMENTARY OPPOSITION. To the Editor (f the Morning Chronicle. SIR, I was very much pleased to observe in your leading article of yesterday, a recommendation that there should be more of union and concert amongst the Opposition members r in the House of Commons. It is an object which I have most especially at heart, and which I have done all in my humble power to accomplish. Let those who are so apparently indif- ferent on this subject, give ear to the sagacious councils of one of the greatest statesmen of the last century. Lord Boling- broke, in a paper on the spirit of patriotism, says, Look about you, and you will see men eager to speak, and keen to act, when particular occasionfl press them, or particular motives ex- cite them but quite unprepared for either, and hence all that superficiality in speaking for want of information hence all that confusion or inactivity for want of concert, and all that disappointment for want of preliminary measures. They who affect to head an opposition, or to make any considerable figure in it, must he equal, at least, to those whom they oppose. I do not say in paits only, but in application and industry, and the fruits of both, information, knowledge, and a certain con- slant preparedness for all the events that may arise. Every administration is a system of conduct opposition, therefore, should be a system of conduct likeivise-an opposite, but not a dependent system. I shall explain myself better by an exam- ple. When two armies take the field, the generals on both sides have their different plans for the campaign, either of of. fence or defence and as the former does not suspend his mea. sures till he is attacked, but takes them beforehand on every probable contingency, so the latter does not suspend his till the opportunity of attacking presents itself, but is alert and con- stantly ready to seize it whenever it happens and in the mean time is busy to improve all the advantages of skill, of force, or of any other kind that he has, or that he can acquire, independ- ently of the plan and of the moiians of his enemy. According to the present form of our constitution, every member of either House of Parliament is a member of a na- tional standing council, born, or appointed by the people, to promote good, and to oppose bad, government and if not vested with the power of a minister of state, yet vested with the superior power of controlling those who are appointed such by the Crown. It follows from hence, that they who engage in opposition are under as great obligations to prepare themselves to control, as they who serve the Crown are under to prepare themselves to carry on the administration, and that a party foimed for this purpose do not act like good citizens, nor honest men, unless they propose true, as well as oppose false, measures of government. Sure I am they do not act like wise men unless they act systematically, and unless they contrast, on every oc. casion, that system of policy which the public interest requires to be followed, with that which is suited to no interest but the private interest of the prince or his ministers. Cunning men (several such there are among you ) will dislike this conse. quence, and object that such a conduct would support, under the appearance of opposing, a weak or even a wicked adminis- tration and that to proceed in this manner would be to give good counsel to a bad minister, and to extricate bim out of dis- tresses that ought to be improved to his ruin. But cunning pays no regard to virtue, and IS but a low mimic of wisdom. It were easy to demonstrate that a party who opposed systema- tically, a wise to a silly, an honest to an iniquitous scheme of government, would acquire greater reputation and strength, and atrive more surely at their end, than a party who opposed occasionally, as it were, without any common system, without any general concert—with little unIformity-little preparation -little perseverance, and as little knowledge or political ca- pacity." I will not incur the risk of enfeebling, by any remark of mine, this admirable illustration of the duties of a patriotic op- position. I only hope that it will have the effect of rousing to vigorous action those whose abilities, station, and experience, entitle them to take the lead on the anti-ministerial side of the House of Commons. I have the honour to be, sir, your most obedient servant, REGINALD J. BLEW IT I', London, July 8, 1843.
THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON'S POSITION…
THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON'S POSITION IN THE CABINET. From the Giasgow Post, July 8. The new, suspicious position held by the Duke of Welling. ton to the cabinet, in addition to being commander-in-chief of the army, has long been a matter of surprise to the country, and on Tuesday evening was made the formal subject of in- quiry by Mr Blewitt in the House of Commons. In answer to ,he questions of this gentleman, Sir Robert Peel stated that the Duke of Wellington was a member of her Majesty's cabinet, J as well as commander of the forces, and that, at a cabinet I minister, he was responsible for any tduce which h, might I give. The country has most certainly a good right to know the character and position of its rulers, and Mt Blewitt conferred good service by calling for an explanation of the anomalous po- sition held by the Duke of Wellington, who, on every occca* sion when applied to as a minister of the crown, denies his po- >ition, or that he is in her Majesty's service. On the occasioo referred to :— Mr Blewitt called upon Sir Robert Peel to explain to tle Ilouse and to the country, what was the political position of bis Grate the Duke of Wellington—whether his grace was or was not in the political service of the crown, subject to ministerial responsibility, and possessed of any and what controul over the administration of public affairs. The hon. member read—a* Ilis reasons for this question -some recenl leliers of the Duke of Wellington to Mr Muloch and Mr Espey, in which the Duke of Wellington disclaimed responsibility on public matters, •is he was one of those who never meddled in matters over which he had no controul.' With his usual evasion, Sir Robert Peel passes over tbe gist of Mr Blewin's question regarding the Duke of Wellington's political service but even with this shift, Sir Robert admits enough to commit the Duke of deception, as well as of penning nisstalements, for the purpose of saving himself from trouble, or his immense income got from the public, from being lessened 10 the smallest, by any draught therefrom for the benefit of the poor. Sir Robert Peel's reply was — "The Duke of Wellington was a member of the cabinel, and, as such, responsible for any advice the cabinet might give 10 the crown. He was sure his noble friend did not disclaim his personal responsibilty as an adviser of the crown, but Tierely referred parties making applications to him 10 the de- I partments more immediately connected wilh the matter on which questions were put to him." In writing recently to Mr Mulock and Mr Espey, the Duke denied all controul or authority, and in his celebrated corres- pondence with the Paisley deputation in 1841, though then also a member of the cabinet, he went further, and, to our sense of the term, denied both his position and his possession of authority. In the correspondence referred to, the Duke begs the de- putation to observe that he is not in the Queen's political ser- vice, that he does not fill any political office, and exercises no power or authority." Sir Robert, in the answer to Mr Blewitt, positively contra- dicts this written statement of the Duke, by asserting that he is a minister of the crown, that as such be exercises authority, and that he is responsible for the authority which he exercise. Sir Robert Peel adds, that I. e is certain his noble friend the Duke will not disclaim his peisonal responsibility as an adviser ot the crown." We have a curious cabinet, therefore, most certainly, and, in Sir Robeit Peel and the Duke, a pair of singular minis- len. One of them must be blundering grossly. If, according to the Duke, he has no power, how can he be responsible and if he hold no political office, how can he have power ? Yet Sir Robert Peel holds the Duke responsible, though he will not venture to say he is in political service. The nation was indeed astonished when the Duke of Wellington, for the first time in 1841, informed the people in hia learned epistle, that a seat in the cabinet was not political service, and that, while he had come to London to attend the Queen when she was confined," he filled no political office, and exercised no power or authority under her Majesty. With such advisers, it need be no way wonderful though 'he Peel Cabinet should soon have run themselves into difficulties.
THE DIFFERENTIAL DUTIES ON…
THE DIFFERENTIAL DUTIES ON COAL. From the Gateshead Observer. A few weeks ago we informed our readers, that by the stipu- lations of the reciprocity treaty between this country and Swe- r den, no higher duty can be charged on the export of coal by Swedish than by British vessels, whether the shiproenl be in tended for Sweden or not. The practice has been—and the present law, indeed, requires it 10 be so—to charge the high duty on all shipments of Swedish vessels for other than Swe- dish ports. We stated at the same time that there was one other country at least, namely, Russia, which was entitled to the same privilege. Events have proved the correctness of our opinion, so far as Russia is concerned.. The present go- vernment have been made to understand that Russia is en- titled to the privilege, and that she insists upon the letter of the bond. Prussia, too, it seems, has made a similar claim, and has had her claim allowed. Sweden, of course, being a weaker country than either Rus* sia or Prussia, will have justice done to her last. Bul that justice will be done, however reluctantly, we have no doubt, because the language of the Swedish treaty is as strong as it is possible to make it, in justification of the most perfect equality between Swedish and Biitish vessels in the export trade. We shall be glad to hear what our Tory shipowners have to say upon this, to them, doubtless very agreeable intelligence —* Russia and Prussia, it appears, have ministers who can obtain from neighbourhing nations a due fulfilment of treaties and conventions whilst the most contemptible despot upon the Elbe is permitted to set ihe British cabinet at defiance. Nay, we not only yield to Russia and Prussia their just rights, but we pay the King of Hanover a pension on the one hand, whilst permitting him to plunder us in the shape of Stade duties on the other! Such is the statesmanship of Sir Robert Peel.
IRELAND:
IRELAND: INVESTMENT OF THE REPEAL RENT. The money transmitted 10 the Repeal Association is periodi* cally invested in the Govornment securities. Last week the sum was invested in the New Three-and a.Halfpef Cents., by the broker of the Repeal Association. If tbe re- pealers had any idea of rebellion, or contemplated any of the project with which they have been charged by Lord Lyodhurat, • it is not very likely that they would trust their money in the Go- vernment securities. The Drogheda Argus, of Saturday last, reports progress in a very wide district:— CASTLEBELLINGHAM.—A correspondent informs us that a gathering and procession of Orangemen took place in Casllebel. liughara 00 Wedoesday eveniug, the 12th of July, between nine and ten o'clock. They were of the lowest class, led on by a cobbler named Bungem. These fellows and their degraded followers, endeavoured 10 get up a row by shouting To b-I with the Pope'—' Down with Popery'—' Down with nell'—• No Repeal,' &c. To disappoint the ruffians the peaceable and well-disposed inhabitants of the village retired at once to their respective dwellings. Another correspondent in- forms us that a. man named Morgan was severely beaten by the Orangemen." ORANGE ADHESIONS TO REPEAL. Last week a number of Orangemen from Stewart's-town* county of Tyrone, had joined the Repeal Association, and for- warded an address to Mr O'Connell. This appears but the commencement of a movement. THE LANDLORDS OF IRELAND. England cannot afford to coerce Ireland because the land- lords of that country think it just and honest to take in exchange for a dry potato the poor man's daily labour from sunrise to sunset; Protestantism cannot afford the overthrow of the Irish Ecclesiastical Establishment, that the landlords may continue to misuse the land of that island The fate of Ireland is 10 the hands of the landlords and if they will not or can not do their duty, Parliament must sooner or later interfere in the re- lalions between them and then tenants. The safety of the people is the supreme law, and it would be an abnegation o{ the highest functions of government for the legislature, al* other means failing, to permit Ireland to remain in its presenj social and economical state, on the miserable insufficient that legislation for that purpose w< uld disturb the rights of property. The root of the people's sympathy with MI. O'Con- nell is their misery that misery is the consequence of the abuse of the soil both by landlords and tenants and the onlf hope for Ireland is the removal of that misery through a bet* ter use of the land. By its removal only can the church es- tablished by law be saved, or the apparently impending triumph of Romanism he averted.
