      HOUSE OP COMMONS . —Tuesday , Feb . 9 . In reply to a question from Mr . O'Co > sell , Lord Pauujbsxos said that he could not lay before the House the treaty between thii country and Texas until after its Titifiration lord Szawl _ t . again drew the attention of the ** **** * ° *** dstea ^ oo ot Mr . M'Leod , in New York , wishing to know -what » tepa had been takes to procure his Mberation . ** J ? ii !^*** * " ^ *** u ? ° * ** my day tb * n 8 buctk « a of the Government had been sent to Mr . Tox , but neither the Noble Lord nor the House would expect him to sute what those instructions Lord Staslbt desired to leara whether j _ ny pre-*?! J ? S ^*? 2 *? **!?*«?* ° * on theabecl

      _ .. » . . Lord PalMEBSXos replied that the d espatches fr om Mi . Fox had only been received on Saturday , and that 4 ay { Tuesday ) was the first upon -which the final inatrucv-ona could be sent out . A former ease , however , upon which Mr . Fox had been fully instructed , was precisely similar in principle to the present 2 dr . Hums quoted an order of the day of the Lieufcenant-OroTeraor of Upper Canada , passing a hjgh eulogium on tie conduct of the parties engaged in ' the destruction of the Caroline . Bj wished to know -whether this document had eTer been transmitted to her Jlajeaty ' s viovernmeat , and whether it had been approved of by them ? Lord J . Rcssell replied that the document had been ccnununkatod , and the Tiews of the Government « pon the subject bad been ; represented to the Governseat of America . ¦ .

      Mr . T . DX 3 SC 0 XBB asked , whether the British Go-TemmeEt had approved or disapproved ol tbet-destruct _ on oi the CarolineJ Lord Palhersto . v replied that her M&jsstr ' a G > vemnisBt thought , under toe peculiar circtzmst-iicdJ ot the case , that ihe capture of the Caroline-was justifiable . This aimouncement was received "with loud cheering irom all parts of the House . In answer to another question from Mr . Huxe , Lord PALii £ E 5 ~ 05 stated tlut the opinion of her Majesty s QoTirn-htui had been communicated to the American Minister in London , and to the American ^ Government by Mr . Fax . The cheering was again renewed on hmring this declaration from the Noble Lord . Lord Mobpeih obtained leave to bring in a Bill to amend the laws relating to drainage in Ireland , and the ¦ impruTement of navigation and water power in connection with the system of drainage .

      Sir . F . K . ELLT moved for leave to bring in a bill for the abolition of the punishment of death in certain oases . The bill was nearly the same as the one he had nnsuccessfuDy introduced to the House last session of Parliament , but he had arranged it bo thaf each insUsee in which the punishment of death was proposed to be abolished was made the subject . of a aeparat *; clause . . He confined the operation of the present Bill to England and Wales , but he pledged him-¦ eif , if successful in carrying this Bid through Parliament , that he would bring in similar bills for Ireland

      and Scoiland . He was glad to find that Ministers intended at length "to bring in a Bill for the purpose of abolishing ihe punishment of death in some cases ; and V . any disclosure had been made to him as to the extent to which that Bill would go , he would have waited its Introduction . A » , however , he could not hope that it would g « to the extent he thought necessary , he then -move *! for leave to bring in his Bill , which , . however , . be wouid sot carry into committee until he should have -an opportunity of seeing the Ministerial measure . Mr . Etv ' aBT seconded the motion .

      Lord J . Kcssell said there were certainly cases of ertae now punishable with death , which onght not to be so ; and he could not , therefore , refuse bis assent bo the introduction of the Bill of the Hon . and Learned Gentleman . He could not , however , scree in the avowed object of ttw Hon . and Learned Gentlemanthat of abolishing the punishment of death altogether . Crimes , apparently of the same nature , were of tea ¦ very different in enormity ; for instance , an attempt to set fire to ships in her Majesty ' s dockyards wad . an offence which partook of the character oi high treason ; whereas , Betting fire to some ropes , or other such offences against mere property , woald be crimes very different in magnitude jfrom the former . He was of opinion that it would hja highly desirable to have a revision of the whole criminal law , bo as to render the -. punishments actually enforced more reconcilable with the punishments directed by the statutes . Leave was then given to brine in the Bill .

      Capfcun Pbchell obtained leave to bring in a Bill to amend the Titae Recovery Act 15 th and 6 th Wm . IT . } , aad to take away the jurisdiction from the ec-- elesiastical court * in all nutters relating to tithes of a certain amount . Mr . F . Macle moved to bring in a Bill on the subject of eounry courts . He noticed the evil of separate Acts for the recovery of small debts in separate districts , laadisg to different practices in different places . His first proposal would be to extend the jurisdiction' of tile cosnrr courts to a larger sum than at present ; he wsnld suggest £ 20 . He would make them ambulatory within their own districts . He would have a Judge for each , to be appointed by the Government &t a fixed salary . He would abolish all written pleadings , and make a summons the only process . On any amount under £ 5 tie Judge might decide without a Jury ; on

      aay larger arneont a Jury might , be demsndable by either party . The parties themselves should be examinable , and no witness sheuld be incompetent on the score of interest . He wonld give to the court a jurisdiction also in the recovery of Email tenements . The patronage of the Government , under snch a system .,, would daubtless be considerable ; bat , in fact , it existed already , for the Chancellor , at present , appointed the Judge under every one of tae local Acts . It was not in contemplation to take away the jurisdiction of Hundred Courts < x Courts of Requests ; though he certainly did believe thai the county courts would soon withdraw their business from them . The Judge was not to practise at the bar ; and his salary was to be at first £ 300 , and to increase , as business should ircrease , until it reached & maximum of £ l , S 00 . An analogous measure had been introduced into Scotland with the best effect

      Mr . Ewasi observed , that Ireland also had a similar benefit , in her institution of assistant barristers . They , however , were permitted to practise at the bar ; and this nad its advantage , in keeping the judges f ^ mUinT -with the law . He wished to carry the principle of the measure yet farther than the Government bad proposed , by substituting throughout the kingdom stipendiary magistrates for the present justices of the peace . Mr- Wood ( of Middlesex ) deprecated this l _ 3 t suggestion , and while he approved the present measure , yet he cautioned the House against allowing tti 3 new class of magistrates to absorb the criminal as well as the civil administration of justice . Mr . B / che agreed in the views of Mr . Ewart He did no : think the money would be badly laid oat in these salaries , but he wished the limic of the jurisdiction extended to £ 100 .

      Mr . HiWES concurred is ibis wish . It " * as so important to vest judicial appointment in the Crovrn , that he trusted the patronage would not be ah objection . It might safely be exercised by the Lord Chancellor or the Lord Chief Justice . Mr . O'CJ > ' > ell considered the chief defect of the bill to be , that it did cot combine the criminal with the civil jurisdiction . It constituted a . paralytic jadge , alive on the civil aide , but dead on the criminal . Thecourts of the present magistrates were certainly not the courts of the poor man . He should bs very sorry to see any of the patronage given to judges , except the Chancellor , who was a responsible Minister of the Crown . It would destroy the political independence of the junior bar to put their promotion in the bands « f the Lord Chief Justice .

      Mr . Gallt Bright objected to the notion of substituting stipendiary magistrates for the present unpaid magistracy , and wouldfeei great jealousy of any measure having that tendency . Mr . Yilliess thought there was nothing in the pre-• e&t proposal to excite either jealousy or alarm . Mr . ClfrSSSWELL apprehended great dissatisfaction to suitors if they were forced into a court from whica there weuld be no appeal ; and great expence to them , if app « als wer » allowed , into which they could be inveigled by low practitioners . He vindicated the bar from the imputation that they would be corrupted by patronage , in the hands of the Judges . The Judges bad now for some yean bad the appointment of the revMug barristers , but no decline of independence had followed .

      Mr . Fox Mauls deemed it best to abstain for the present £ rt « n giving compulsory jurisdiction for a higher mmount than £ 30 . The County Courts had already , and would still possess , power to decide upon larger amounts , where both the parties consented . Leave having been given for this Bill , Mr . Fox MiCLE- mored the introduction of another connects with it , and enabling the Chancellor to direct there £ mtoe to County Courts of that business in ba *^ j > t * t ^ ncfc , in the country , is now devolved » pAlodrCommJ « ioneTs .

      Mr . Hawbs wm me tt » meairare would grre gnat « Bs&cUootothe » eroMttlelatBr » fU ; and imn wm civen to introduce the BUL On the motion of Mr . Ehbbsoh TBSKENT . theHouje went into oonmittee en the Jaw * affecting the copyright of deafens ; and he tbaft proposed an extension of the tern of three month * the present limit of protection , to a term of twelve month * . Mr . M . Philips was unJ » Toorabie to the change . Mfc Laboocbbke doubted the expediency of extending the term beyond half a year . Mi . Colo , uhobii supported the motion . Mr . Moa&ison thought six months sufficient * Mr . Williaks objected to all change . Mr . Sergeant TaLFOURD continued to desire protectection for works of invention , Mr . O'Cohhbll wa » an advocate for the twelve months term .

      Mr . Home said , this was going a great deal too far ; indeed , he and Mr . Brothertox , who followed him , saw no necessity for any protection at alL Mr . Warburtok thought it haaardou to take so long a term aa twelve months . Mr . E . Tenhrkt replied ; and the Chairman was initructed to move the Howe for leave to bring in a Bill in accordance with Mr . £ . Tennent ' s proposal ; which was done , and leave granted . Mi . O'Comkell moved for various returns relating to licensed vietnaUen ; after which , Mr . Diveti asked leave to bring in a Bill for allowing Jews to make the declaration contained in the Acts 1 and 2 Victoria , chap . S and 15 , on admission to corporate offices . He thought it bat just to put the Jews on the same footing with the Quakers and the Moravians .

      Sir Robest Isglis resisted this motion . Hebeueifcd there was only one individual whom such a Bill wonld benefit—namely , Mr . David Salomons , who had petitioned the House upon the subject . His own objection was , that this concession would be used as an argument tot ulterior measures . The Jews were not to be considered as a peculiar sect but as a separate nation ; and they had , therefore , no claim to municipal or political franchise * in England . Mr . Wakbuston said , that Sir Robert Inglis , if he treated them as aliens , onght to bring in a Bill for excluding them from property in land . No evil was stated which their admission would involve . Gentlemen had complained last year of Mehemet Alifor his alleged persecution of the Jews , but really their own civil persecution of that people was just as bad . istt

      Mr . Gladstone aaid Mr . Warburto * * - «* ««« ea Sir R . ZngUt ' * oljeatiaa , in mrgning tbat because Jews are permitted to enjoy the privilege of holding Iaad , therefore Jews must be admitted to ulterior privileges . He would not , however , resist , tke introduction of the BUL Mr . Hawes asserted the right of every subject of the Crown to partake all political privileges , without respect to his religious opinions . He hoped the Bill would lead U a full discussion of the whole subject in some of the further stages . Mr . A . White said that a respectable constituent of his own at Sonderl&nd had been excluded by the existing law fiom a corporate office to which be had been elected . If we wished to convert the Jews , we ought to act on-the Christian principle of doing to them as we would that they should do to us .

      Mr . Divett said a few words la reply , andleive was given to introduce the BUL The House then adjourned till Thursday .

      ACCIDENT AT CASTLE DOUGLAS . BREAKING DOWN OF A CHARTIST MEETING

      ROOM . TO THB KDXIOS OF THE NORTHERN STAB . Dsak SiK , —It is a painful task , at any time , to announce accidents , and to appeal to the public in behalf of the Bufferers . On the present occasion , I regret te state , that a very severe accident occurred at Castle Douglas , on Friday , the 5 th of February , through which a number of working men have suffered severe injuries , and some of them , I fear , may be disabled for life . 1 shall state the simple faeU of the case , and leave the subject with my brother Chartists , who have , on all occasions , so nobly aided the imprisoned , supported the unfortunate , and upheld their character for generosity and justice .

      Ou my arrival at Castle Douglas , according to previous appointment , I learned that Mr . Maitland , of Gelston Castle , and other scrubs in the neighbourhood , had rattled in their carriages , and calling some of the magistrates together , as well as visiting the tradesmen who had the letting of the Mason ' s Lodge , prohibited my proposed zneeting in any of the public rooms in the to to . I resided , in my boyhood , many years in Castle Douglas . I hare not been there since I was publicly engaged in the political movement ; therefore there was an unusual anxiety to hear my proposed lecture .

      A workroom belonging to Mr . Inglis , coach builder , was , at length , procured , and long before the hour of meeting the working men flocked in from all the surrounding villages . The room was packed full , but the joisU were never intended to carry such an unusual burden , and the consequence was that the greater part of the flooring gave way , and some 500 people were cast down with dreadful force on the top of eaeh other and into the apartment beneath , where a scene of confusion ensued which totally baffles-all description-I was detained in conversation by one of the magistrates , who , together with a great number of the

      middle-class , were bending their steps to the meeting room , and but for that fortunate circumstance , every one is of opinion that a difference of two minutes or Ies 3 , would have settled all matters of dispute between the Government and the '' little Doctor . " As it was , many of the shopkeepers , and one or two medical men went down in the weJee—however , with their usual good fortune , they escaped scot free . The whole mischief fell upon a number of unlucky working men , and God knows , their weakened frames , stinted in nourishment , contributed much to their helplessness , and adds to their misfortunes .

      I regret to say that some very severe injuries were sustained , from a compound fracture in the leg to a simple bruise on the head—fortunately , no lives were lost . A number of working men are , consequently so seriously injured as to be utterly unable to pux * ue their usual trades , and , I imagine , it is only necessary to mention this to secure a public subscription from the people ^—from all , at least , whose means will enable them to soothe the sufferings of the poor and put a balm -upon the wounds of the injured . Mr . Aitken , bookseller , and Mr . Blair , butcher , Castle Douglas , will be happy to receive and distribute contributions .

      I remain , dear Sir , yo urs sincerely , On behalf of the Castle Douglas sufferers , P . M'DOUALL .

      TO THE WORKING MEN OF SCOTLAND . Mr Friexds a . \ d Fellow-Cow . ntbtwe . v : —Id adiressing you at this time I need not make any lengthened apology , especially when I consider that I am about to lay before you , for your consideration , a plan which has for its object the advancement of the great cause in which we are engaged—the establishment of the Chartist movement in Scotland on a secure aud permanent basis , as well aa the upholding of the character and honour of our nation .

      At all times , whether lecturing in public or conversing in private , it has been my study and endeavour to add more to your stock of knowledge—to discover your wants—to listen to the story ot your wrongs , and to lay bare the robbery of your masters—the cruelty of your tyrants . ' I sincerely hepe . my friends , that I have sneceeded in securing at least a share of your confidence ; and if so , it shall be iny future labour to prove , by my exertion , that I deserved it I have lectured as long as my health will permit , and as often as my strength would allow .

      T wo courses lay before me : ons was to descend to the duties of my profession , and serve a locality—the other was to devote time and talent to the cause , and become the servant of a nation—the friend of the work-¦ Bian— the advocate of the rights of labour . I have chosen the latter course ; voluntarily have 1 adopted it , and I am now about to launch my bark upon the Traters of political agitation , trusting that principle will be supported , consistency respected , and the just provisoes of the Charter more securely implanted in the bosoms and affections of the people , through the advocacy of a national paper , which shall not bend to a time-ssrving policy , kneel to the enemies of the people , or lose sight , for one moment , of the prize which is gazed a : ind Joaged to be grasped by millions of panting and iuiBatieut

      slaves-My friends , this Chartist organ , Tke Saiionol , which 1 purpose to establish immediately in Glasgow , shall know no medium policy , worship no party , but serve as a sincere Chartist organ the great mass of the oppressed workmen of this land ; be devoted to the worker , not the eater—to the slave , not to the master Two things please me in deliberating upon this project First—There is an urgent necessity for creating a national Chartist organ in Scotland , which shall fearlessly advocate the rights , and openly reflect the wrongs of the labourer ; which shall speak alone to the workman—which shall place a mirror before his eyes , and a weapon in his hands , by which the deepest roguery may be seen , and the most formidable enemy

      overthrown . Secondly—There i » a national duty to be performed at this momentous period , which every Chartist ought to aim at , and every Scotchman glory in . Is it to be said , fellow-countrymen , that Old Caledonia , is to possess no national press ? It is true , Perth and Dundee have their Chronicle * —they are excellent in tkeir localities ; Glasgow has its Circular , a publication which must be as often praised as it is read . Why should not Scotland have her national organ of Chartism as well as England have her farspread and ably conducted Star ? Nay , more , the cause demands it The wants of the times cry aloud for it ; danger Eta in delay , and defeat frowns upon our path .

      I registered a solemn promise in a court of justice , and in a prison , that I should strive through life to be a thorn in the side of that Government which persecuted you , and imprisoned your leaders ; or of any Government which withheld the sacred rights of a people . I wish to fulfil my promise . Let me have the means , then , of serving you , and of opposing the common enemy .

      I propose to edit thii projwted p * m ; and to dmti my whole energy in conducting it , foe tin benefit solely of the working men , ^ . How if it to be started ? Yon ; ny Mends , must answer me that , by your subMriptiom I ^ wopoaa to raise 800 abarea at ten shilling * each , payable on the 20 th of February , to James Moir , George Boss , and William Thompson , who have agreed to set as treasurers eonjointly for the paper . _ I would pay interest on eaeh share , not less than flve per cent nor mere than ten per eenfc per annum . I would issue the first No . of the paper on Batarday , the

      20 th of March , 18 < 1 , continuing it weekly as long as the people considered that it went the whole length in Chartist politics , and , therefore , was deserving of support . I would admit of payments by instalments at the rate of two shilling * weekly np to the 20 th of March , so as to enable working men to become shareholders ; I would suggest that all shareholders to the amount of ten snares , or representatives of ten shares , do meet in Glasgow on the 20 th of February , to enter into all necessary arrangemento for the starting of the paper : and I call upon all ChartlsU to subscribe , as readers , one quarter in advance , so u to give a fair field and a free start for Tha National .

      As proprietor of the paper , I woold be , of coarse , amenable to the shareholders ; but , aa editor , I wonld admit of no controul in my writings from companies or individuals . Those trades which desired a direct interest in the paper , conld not do better than take ten shares at onceT although I shall pledge myself to admit all official statements sent to me by authorised Individuals belonging to the various trades , whether they become subscribers or not ; and I can assure them that I have their several interests so much at heart that their communications should have immediate attention at all times . .: _

      In conducting the paper , I may say . in the werds of a vulgar , but yet expressive phrase , I would go the whole hog in Chartism , and you know it Independent of the editorial articles , I would every week give my views clearly and fearlessly upon the factory system , rural police , currency , banking , and paper money , Sc < ttifih Poor Law , Philosophy of Aristocratic GovernnieiiV rights and wroDga of labour , &c * c . ; in short , give familiar and clear illustrations of every tyrannical system or juggling humbug , all of which writings I wo » ld endeavour to present each quarter in a clear copy to each subscriber who paid ifl advance . Finally , I would record th » movements of the Cbaruats in every town throughout Scotland , . and make the paper a source of continued interest , information , and pleasure to every hard-handed son of toiL

      If I nave neglected to notice anything of importance inthia address , I will supply the deficiency £ o any correspondent , or to the board of £ 10 shareholders , on the 20 th of February . Now , my friends , I have made you a fair offer of my continued services ; will you enlist me in the grand army as an eld soldier in the cause , although a new recruit for the patriotic service of the press ? Decide at once for the cause—for yourselves—for the honour of our native land . The press you must havewhether you accept of me or not is another question . Serve your cause , servo your country , I have sworn to serve both . Therefore , anxiously looking to the 20 th of February to know whether I must stand by the press , and thenceforward to the 20 th of March to see whether you stand by the cause , I am , dear friends , Your devoted advocate , P . M . M'DOUALL .

      P . S . —All communications to be addressed , ( postpaid , ) to William Thompson , Princes Street , Glasgow , the writers stating clearly , 1 st , that they are shareholders in the National ; 2 nd , what amount of shares they will take ; 3 rd , what instalments they will advance ; 4 th , their name and place of abode , clearly written , not only so as to be read , but in tuch a manner that a letter may reach the parties through the Post-Office .

      THE PROTECTED CAPITALIST AND HIS CAPJTAL , AGAINST THE VNPHOTECTED LABOUHEH AND HIS LABOUR . Droylsden is at this time one scene of poverty , misery , distress , starvation , aud / want , inconsequence of the late turn-out of the power-loom weavers . A few years ago , several gentlemen ( save the mark . ' ) from tbe town of Stockpoit , built a large factory in this village ; their original intention was to have made it into a hat manufactory , but finding it impossible to bring the men into bo close a compass as that , they thought they might just do as they thought proper with them ; they took a second consideration , and converted it into a cotton-hell , ' to fill which , with a sufficient number of hands , they 'the masters ) made great promises , and

      held out great hopes to tha work-people , which had the desired effect in procuring them . People came thither from almost every town aud village in Lancashire and Cheshire . But , mark the sequel ! No sooner had they got them there , than the misters began to practice all aorta of tyranny , making good the old adage , we have you fast now , and we can do what we like with you . " About three weeks since , the masters gave notice of an abatement , to the tune of five shillings , from every four loom weaver . The hands whispered among : themselves , and resolved to resist it by turning out , which the masters got wind of , but took no notice until a few hours before the expiration of the notice , when the hands were surprised by the sudden stoppage of the engine ; and , upon inquiry , they were

      told something was amiss with it This Is a trick which has beun repeatedly resorted to , under similar circumstances ; the main and sole object of which was to prevent the weavers from getting in their cuts , and in the event of their not returning to their work at the reduced price , to cheat the hands out of some two , some three , and some / our each , which according to Cotton Law would be forfeited . The masters , in order to carry out their robbery and villany , sent for a band of blue bottle police , to guard , to be sure , the master ' s property , and intimidate the turn-outs ; overlookers , lickspittles , and understrappers , were sent to sceur the surrounding towns for the surplus people , who were out of employment , to bring in as knobsticks . Not satisfied even with that , they used their influence

      on every occasion , where they had any , in preventing the turnouts from procuring work at other mills . In one instance , two young women went to Ashton , and got a shop , but no sooner did the masters hear of this than they sent one of their tools in the shape of a man , but who is certainly a disgrace to human nature , to Ashton , who saw the females , aud promised them if they would but return , the condition would be , that they would have their looms again , and should , in addition to that , have the best work . The unsuspecting lasses took them at their word , and left their situations , and returned to Droylsden with the full expectation of having their looms again according to promise , but alas ! it was all delusion ! Oa approaching their old masters , they were told to co about their business :

      after persuading them to leave the place they were then at , and not only so , but they have forfeited what work they had done at the Ashton shop , and rendered themselves less liable to procure worjt any where else ; being , no doubt , set down in the black book , with a full description of their persons , names , and ages . This is a species of superlative rascality , treachery , and black-hearted deception . By the exertion of the tools , nearly the number of hands have been procured to supply the places of those who turned out , and the consequence is , that the rest are now walking the lanes , not knowing what to do . The masters have declared never to have them again , and what aggravates the thing more is , the whole families worked at this mill , and , of course , they have all met the same fate . The spinners

      and dressers were compelled by the masters to send their wives and children into the factory ; all who were able , till others could be fetched , or otherwise they must likewise be discharged . Those overlookers and lickspittles , who could and did practise most spite and malignity towards the turn-outs , were best received by the masters ; while , on the contrary , those who had hearts and could feel for their fellow-creatures , and could not act the rogue , fool , and knave , were sent about their business—hunfanity and sympathy being commodities unknown to these factory tyrannical cotton lerds . The work , before the abatement , was very bad , and the poor people were only able to get as much as kept them living from hand to mouth , at this very inclement season of the year , and what they will do now , God only knows . The heads of the families will have to wander up and down the country , in search of work , leaving their poor wives and children at the mercy of providence and chance

      , and perhaps for months before they will succeed , to say nothing of the expence of removing their goods . Will it be believed , ' , that these masters are celebrated av promoter * of religion , temperance , and morality ; subscribe to the various charitable institutions ; and that their names are blazed about in the different reports , as though they were the most Immaculate saints in Christendom ? These greedy , grasping , grinding , robbing , ( plundering villains , are as mealymouthed , and make as much profession as though they were the moat pure , virtuous , and harmless creatures in the world ; but , by their conduct , ' they prove themselves the most odiOm wretches , and are guilty of cant , hypocrisy , brutality ; hard-heartedneM , cruelty , and blasphemy . They laugh , jeer , sneer , and exult at the triumph they have achieved over their helpless dependants—a disgrace to religion , to humanity , to society , and to every thing virtuous , honourable , and praise * worthy . The hatters and colliers are yet out , and are no ^ nearer coining to a settlement .

      FROH OUR LONDON COHBESPONDENT . Thursday Evening , Feb . 4 . Thr Money Market , thb Com Laws , and Commercial Prospects , &c—Auxious to ascertain the eiiect which the recent Ministerial exposition of affairs might have produced , upon that index of mercantile feeling , the " long heads upon 'Change , " we this morning paid a long-deferred visit to the vicinity of the Old Lady ' s mansion , in Threadneedlestreet ; and the " notes" we picked up , are hereby presented for circulation . In the first place , the " league , " and its semi-Ministerial countenance , has operated in a remarkable manner upon one section of investment-makers , ( that is , men who "invest" other neonle ' s money in the various stocks , composing the

      national debt ; taking the profit themselves , if the transaction prove lucky , and leaving all losses to fall upon the dolts who entrust their cash to the keeping of these "investers , " )—these , believing that the repeal of the Corn Laws would totally destroy the landed interest , and Bubvert the whole condition of British property , by rendering the produce of the land actually valueless , have refrained from any u operations ot consequence , until the cabinet weathercock should have been thoroughly stationary on tbat point . A second party , relying confidently on the strength of the landed and Conservative party , to resist the " repeal / ' even should Ministers u come out" ou that subject with all their strength , have taken advantage of the unwonted supineness of their brother jobbers , to "do a little flimsy" on the strength of it . The result is , that what is termed " money "—* , e ., bank rags , and bullion—has never

      beea remembered so " easy" as at the present time ; as , notwithstanding that tho rate of discount has fallen even as low as four per cent ., the bankers and capitalists fiud some difficulty in procuring their usual supply of ** stiff . " Consequently , the former class prefer holding their money , to making investments for a fixed period . A change of this state of things , must , tthe knowing ones aay , ) take place before long ; and a renewal of activity , on the commencement of the spring trade , is expected to create such an increased demand for capital , as to cause a total re-action in the value of money after its present state of relaxation . It is clear , therefore , from this state of things , that trade at present is dull , and that the" medium " is going a-begging ; aud when trade becomes brisk , the jugglers will take care to have their own price for the temporary use of some of their rag and dross " counters .

      Fire at the Standard Office . —Last night , just as my ° letter was posted , ( i . e . half-past seven ) , afire broke out in the engine department of the Standard newspaper , which was providentially discovered by a female servant belonging to the dwellinghouse ; the machinists , having quilted the premises for the night . An alarm was immediately raised , abundant aid was speedily at hand , ( the Norwich Union Office being nearly next door , all the apparatus for extinguishing fire were promptly applied , )

      and the element was subdued after doing some comparatively inconsiderable damage . It is a remarkable circumstance , that fires have broken out in twelve different London newspaper offices , within a period of as many months ; in consequence of which , the offices have unanimously raised the premiums on such policies from double to treble hazardous . There were , as we heard , several other fires raging last night , in various . parts of the metropolis ; but our informant was unable to direct us to the precise localities .

      Mr . Henry Vincent arrived in London on Monday last ; and has published an address " To the Chartists of Great Britain" in the English Chartist Circular of this week , in which be exhorts his brother Chartists not to allow their societies to degenerate into mere" talking clubs , " but to render them "Normal Schools for the eduoation of political teachers .

      In tho House of Commons , last night , Lord J . Russell moved for leave to bring in a bill for the registration of parliamentary electors , which in no essential respect , differed from that of last year . He proposed that fifteen revising barristers should he appointed by the Speaker , from forty-five barristers nominated by the judges , and that when once appointed they should hold their offices independently ,

      being removable only upon an address from both Houses of Parliament . He also proposed a court of appeal , consisting of three barristers ; and instead of an annual revision he should propose that the first revision should establish the right for life , under the same circumstances as those under which it had been originally conferred . Mr . Liddell hoped there would be some clause in the Bill to prevent the personation of voters . At the late Walsali election three deceased Conservatives were personated by three persons Who voted in their names for the Liberal candidate . Leave was then given to bring in the Bill . Lord John Russell moved for a select committee on Acts relating to South Australia , which was agreed to . Shortly after the House adjourned .
