      HOUSE OF LORDS .-Fbidat , Fxb . 26 . The Bishop of LOXDOS presented two petition * from places in Essex against any future grant to the College of Maynooth ; aJ » o a petition from a place in Lincolnshire- against the sanction given to snpsrstitionspracticea is India , and praying that the enactment on the subject might be carried into effect The Bill for extending tlie Bnrnrng Act to the county 8 Sd city of J > ablin was re * & A aee&nd time sad oommittvd . The Earl of MorXT EDGECCMBE presented a petition &om Falmontb , containing of the removal of the West India packet station from Falmoath to Dartmouth , asd praying that the change might not be nctioned until their Lordship * had- inquired into the matter . The Noble Earl , who supported the prayer of tbe petition , concluded by moving that the report of th * commisaeners on the snbject should be laid before the Boose .

      Viscount JlBLBOtBSE said , that the Government bad nothing whatever to do with the place from which the Tsssels were to start— -that depended upon tbe company to which they belonged . All that Government had done vraa to reserve to itself the right as to the port from which the mail should start , and they had determined that they should proceed from the port of Dartmouth . He had never heard any cpinion in fsYonr of the port of Falmouth , except from those parties who were connected with tha oounty of Cornwall . Lord Ashbcrtos thought the arrangement made by the Government was a most absurd one ,, because tie T 88 sel would have two harbours to make instead of one m > on every vty&ge .

      After a few observations from tha Earl-of Minto and Lord Melbourne , the petition wsis ordered to be laid on the table ; and a copy of the report of the eommittee on the subject of the departure of the -West India mails was ordered w be prestated to the House .

HiyDLET presented an excellent petition fr » m Ashton for a revision of the Tariff Several other petitions T 7 ere presented . In . ms ^ er to ilr . HUME , Mr . Maxle stated that an account of the expence of Lord Cardigan ^ trial might ba kid before the House . Is rd Stanley ' s Registration Bill was postponed till Monday . The Houbo went in ' o Committee on Lord Eeaae ' a Annuity BiiL In the Committed , Mi . Ewart mored to omit the voras extending the grant to the two next heirs , so as \ 3 confine it t « Lord Keaae for his life .

      Captain Hamilton , who has before exhibited symp toms of anindependent mind , though he be a Tory , supporttd Mr . Efrart . He regretted that the peop le oa t of doors should suppose that the greeting of a petrage and a pension must go haid in hand . " Sir Joh > - Cam HoBHOrss supported the original motion . After a short debate , the Committee divide . d , and the original motion was carried by 117 to 71 . " The Bill "Went through the Conunntee unaltered . Tbe E ^ st India Bom Duties Bill also went through a Committee . Tha Railways Bill w& 3 committed , pro forma , to enable iir . Labcuchere to introduce some amendment in it A "notion for a BD 1 to enable Municipal Councils to borrow money on Annuities was withdra'srn . The House adjourned .

      Monday , March 1 . Mr . Abhstko ^ g tock the oa ; h ? and his seit for Kin > , 'a County . Lord J . Russeix , in reply to a quesiion from Sir J . Graham , tsid that a pension had been granted lo Lien ; . M'G : ? rinack , fi > r wounds receiver ;• the capture of the Caroline . He was not aware of the tact ¦ when asked tbe qnesiioD on s former « -ea ' mg kj Sir IL lag-is . Lord J . Rcs ? rix then stared , ia r-: erence to the PsjhanieirarT "Vi >; ers ( Ireland ) HJi , that in the state vf ihe public tu * ines 3 it woulc be extremely inevvercient that the discussions in committee should t ? ke place before Easier . He should , Vaere fore , propose to go into commiitee ; n the first week after the Easter loliciays , and would name Friday , the 23 rd of ADril .

      Lo 73 STA . 5 TET strongly expressed his surprise at the cie ; ay prrpo ? ed by the Noble Lord in a measure of suet , importance . He gave notice that in committee h ^ would take the sen ? e of ; he House against the causes relating to tbe £ 5 iraDciiise , acd ' then commented in energetic language npon the course adopted by the Government . He ga ~ e tbe Noble Lord credit , ' or great ingenuity in imaging over no less than twelve order days before he brongh : on the coiamiuee , by which means ho might perhaps

      be enabled to defeat his ( Lord Srsnky ' s ) Bill by postponing it until a period , when la ' pse of time alone would be fatal to its success . He strongly suspected the motives which had led to this course of proceeding-, but would at present content h : m ~ elf with postponing the reidiDg of his Bill until the 24 th of March , pledging himself that within ten days before that day lie would state to the Noble Lori whether he would or not , uuder-the circumstances which might arise , press the second reading upon that day .

      ilr . Goclbcrn observed , in refer"nca to the Postoffice reveniis , that tke amount paid into the ExchequtT during the past 5 ear was stated to be £ U 7 . » CK ) , tb-os showing a deficiency of £ 1 , 200 , 000 . Ho -wished to know whether the " revenue arising from ' ¦ ffirial correspondence , which' was paid * by a vote of the House , amounting to about £ 200 , 000 per a nnum , was or was not included in tbe sum of £ - ± 47 , X . "J , and also whether the balances in the bauds of ibe collectors were not included , w hich balances being , he believed about £ 200 , 600 m ore would , xn fact , show a total loss of the Post-office revenue , wi : h the exception of some £ 40 . 000 or £ 5 Q > W .

      Tne Cha 5 cellob of the Excheqces sai ^ thai the Right Hon . Gentleman was corr-. ci in supposing Uiit the oScial correspondence revenue was included , as it always had been , in the return of monies paid into the Exchequer ; but he was wrong iu the amount , as , instead of £ 200 , 000 , it wa = only abou * £ 70 , 0 v 0 . With respect to the balances iu trie hands of collectors , ta consequence of receat arrangements respecting money-oraers , it had become necessary to allow larger balance 3 than heretofore to reaaiii in their possession .

      The House thsa re ? olved itself into a committee oi gnpplj , and Mr . OTebsizi . bronght forward the n » Ty estunates . He stated , that the nntnber oi ships of all kinds employed last year vras 239 , and that the number employed on tbe ls » of January 4 his year , was 242 . This gave only a numerical increase o : ' 3 ; but there vras a great increase in the sirensrt-a of the -vessel ? , reqairinf a corresponding increase in the number of men . He . therefore , proposed to increase the number from 37 , 165 , the number las : year , to 43 , 000 ; and the increased amount of money it would be necessary to Tote he estimated at about £ 765 , 000 . The Right Hon . Gentleman concluded by moving that a sum of £ 29 , 694 be granted to make up the deficiency in the expenditure of the navy up to March , 1840 .-

      S . r G . Clerk condemned the practice of asking Parliament fora sum of money insufficient to main tain the efficacy of the pavy , and be consequently obliged to come to Parliament to make good the de £ ciei . 'Cie 3 of former years . Lord J . Rcssell replied that tlie number of Te 3 g els coming home at the time the estimates wer : asked for , rendered it unnecessary , in the opinion 0 the Government , to ask for an increased estimate , a it was probable that some of them would be put oa of commission . Mr . HrsiB tfconght the coarse pursued by ih GoTerument , in their negotiations resp ^ iing Turkey ¦ was calculated to weaken that country , and to dis turb the psace of Europe , After some conversation the vote was agreed to .

      On tha next Tote being proposed , Sir R . Pilej ¦ wished to know whether , when it was said by tb < Government th&t the eastern question was settled it w&a merely meant that there was an absolut * impossibility that Mehemet Ali should again obtaii possession of Syria , —or whether , as he hoped was the ease , th&tthe question was so settled as regardec France , that there was ao reason to apprehend anj farther misunderstanding apon the subject i Lord Palksestoh replied that if the Right Hon

      Baronet meant to ask him what was the state of th < relations between France and England , he wouli say that he < lid not see anything connected witl those matters , or likely to arisa out of them which in hia opinion could tend to interrupt tfc < good understanding between the two countries . On the vote for 43 , 000 men for the ensuing year , Mr . Htriot objected , and said , if 35 , 000 mei ¦ were sufficient to accomplish all tha ; had been re eeaily accomplished , he could not see the necessity of increasing the naval force to the extent of 43 . CKH

      men . Lord Palkebsto * said that when other nava powers were increasing their naTal armaments , i would scarcely be prudent for this country not I place her naval fcreo upou ax efficient fc-aung also . Mr . Huxe thought England should set the exMn pie of redaction , ft appeared aa if England , bavin , first insulted France , the only -power with whid

      she was on bad terms , was now disposed to defy her . The rote for 43 , 000 men was then agreed to . The House , after agreeing ^ 0 some other rotes in committee , resumed , and the report was broaght up . The other orders of the day were then disposed of , and the House adjourned .

      Tuesday , March 2 . Mr . Easthope gare notice , that on the 16 th of March he would move for leave to bring in a Bill to abolish Church Rates in England and Wales . Mr . Wallace moved for tbe appointment of a Committee to inquire into tbe dotiea of the . nearly sinecure offices of sheriff principal , or chief stipendiary judge , in each county in Scotland , and also into the system under which these stipendiary judges nomidate deputies to perform the laborious duties of the County Courts of Scotland . After seme discussion , the motion was negatived by a majority of 86 to 37 . .

      Mr . Colquhocn moTed for leave to bring in a Bill to alter and amend the Acts of the Irish Parliament relating to the College of ilaynooth . His object was not by this BUI to put an end to the grant to Maynooth , for that would be a subject of future consideration , but to put aa end to the sanction given to it by Government , by the system of visitation , < kc , which was laid down by law , but which was no longer acted upon . After some angry discussion , leave was given to bring in the BilL The House soon after adjourned .

      CELEBRATION OF THE RELEASE OF MR . HENRY VINCENT , FROM OAKHAM GAOL . ( Reported by our London Correspondeat . J Gn Monday , the friends of Mr . Vincent , and of the cause for which he has suffered long and most oppressive incarceration , gave a dinner on the occasion of his release , at the White Conduit House , London , for the purpose cf awarding their congratulation , and publicly expressing their sense of the great Bervices he has rendered in his consistent and powerful advocacy of the principles embodied in the People ' s Charter . The tables were furnished forth in the theatre of the Tavern above-named , but it was soon found , after the rush to obtain seats had somewhat subsided , that the ample dimensions of that noble room were insufficient for the accommodation of the unexpected number t ! : at presented themselves , and tables were accordingly spread in another apartment .

      T he ti m e appoi n ted w a s fo ur o 'c ock , but it waa nearly five before the arrangements were complete , when the cheers which burst forth at the end of tho room , and which in an instant became general , announced the approach of the guest of the evening . The band , BtatSoned in the n * u * ic gallery , joined in the greeting thus warmly bestowed ; and Mr . Vincent passed through th « company and took his seat at the cross-table , on the right of Mr . Lovett , who occupied the chair . The company , at this period , presented a goodly show of highly respectable persons , amounting in number to about five hundrtd , among whom were

      many elegantly attired females ; and the Rev . Dr . Wade having pronounced " Grace , " an excellent dinner -was discussed , with seemingly high relish , by all present . Tfae prevailing taste , however , appeared to be teetotalism , for water only waa druni by the greater number ; and , certainly , the advocate of total abstinence might triumphantly exclaim , " Look , upon this picture and on that , " in contrasting the perfect order and propriety of demeanour exhibited throughout the whole of the proceedings on this occasion , with the disgraceful uproar , and miserable squabbling , for which the great Whig aud Tory meetings are invariably distinguished .

      After the removal of the doth , Ihe drop-scene of the r aised stag e , to the base of which the tables extended , was drawn up , and seats being placed in the front , three or four deep , afforded accommodation , and a most commanding situation , for those who had not been enabled to procure seats in the body of the room , aad gave a picturesque and impoEing tfiVct to the entire scene . The Chairman , in rising to propose the first toast , said tht-y had assembled there that evening for the purpose of expressing their sympathies for a man who had suffered deeply in their cause , and to congratulate him on escaping a prison death . ( Cheers . ) Vincent had suffered two trials : he bad been imprisoned twenty months ; vet he ivas t * fdre the assembled Chartists of

      London ta tell them that he stood before them the same mar . —the tauJe determined advocate of the People's Ciiarttr , which would alike protect the interests of all , an . l secure tLe happiness of the people upon the only solid basis . He cam e before them to sbaw that the pwushEient of tbe body did not establish the conviction or the minJ . \ Chttrs- ) If the enemies of ihe Charter wished to convert the Chartists , they must first convince Mas , however , wmiid not be man , if be did not sometimes err ; and tfaus some , caat up to the neck in poverty , have suffered their misery to lead them into acl 3 which have unhappily retarded the cause they Ter « iie > irous of promoting . ( Hear . ) He -would iiuplere of all to avoid any abatement of the princi p le s of the Chart-r ; ltt them pursue tieir course -with determination , but let them shew to the world ths » i they were

      $ f ouiciun that their great causa was best served by sober , temperate , and prudent conduct—1 cheers )—acd s « prove that democracy -was a * benefieial iu practice as it was just in theory . ( Hear . ) Even the middle classes , if they taw their own best course , ought to join - with them , for the present system was annually wasting their capital , &n « eventual : y must rtduce thtm to the ltvel of the labourer . They ouglit to join the Chartists against the common enemy . The great danger lay in cHlay , aDd he trusted they would soon see tbeir folly and join them , in order to securu the peace , the happiness , anil the prosperity of the country . With tnese prefatory re m arks , he begged leave to propose the toa ^ t— " Tha People , and may they speedily obtain their political rights . " The toast was drunk with loud cheering .

      The CitAiKMA > ' said the ntxt toast was— " Henry Vincent , the eloquent advocate of the people ' s rights ; health and prospsrity to him . " It was unnecessary for him to s » y a "vronl in favour of that toast . The toast was drunk enthusiastically , with three times three-Mr . Vi . ncem gsid it certainly gave him much pleasure to see so many of his friends after an imprisonment of twenty months , and he was happy to say iu the best possible health and the highest spirits—icheers )—and with increased love for thsir glorious cause , and he begged to thank tttm most warmly for the cordialthe Kuuical recaption they had given him . He did not loot upon the assembly he saw before him as a personal compliment to himself , but as a demonstration made in

      favour of liberty which he had struggled for , a n d w hich he stood before them to advocate . It had been his fortune or misfortune to take part with his fellow-workmen daring a fearful agitation for the accomplishment of their political lilwty , and in his advocacy he had fallen into a scsjc which had been purposely laid for him by the aristocrats who misruled the § juntry , with the view of stopping him from advocating those principles which were embodied in the People ' s Charter , but he pledg-d himself they bail totally deceived themselves . He had been placed at tbe bar at Monmouthbrought before a Jury , but not a Jury of his Peers , as in the case of Cardigan the other day—he was not tried by a Ju ry of wo r king m e n , but a Jury of men whose prejudices had bsen excited by the paltering and

      insidions statements which had been constantly appearing in both Whig and T ^ ry newspapers ; they foun d him guilty upon garbled evidence , and Sent Mill to the aoanty saoi . iJe was not before them to wail over his Bufferings lite a puling child -, be was not about to tell tht-m of the sour skilly and the stinking bread , for thaukB to a good constitution he bad kept his word in outliving his persecutions and laughing at his persecutors ; but he would just tell them one or two anecdotes of the manner in which the humane parson of the prison attempted to break his heart He was told that the Chartists thea in that prison , would be hung by six at a time . ( Loud cries of " shame . " ) They were told that the gaol was too fall , and he , and Edwards , and Dickenson were put in the condemned cells . This was

      tjo good 101 the parson—he was afraid they might not know it , and he asked them if they knew where they were ? They replied , " yes , they were in the rooms from which persons were taken to be hung . " ( Shame . ) From these cells they were taken in order to make roomfor John Frost and his companions after their illegal trial . Well , af tf-r having been in gaol for twelve months , he was tried sgaia for an offence alleged to have been committed previous to the one for which he was suffering , in the same county—they expected to have seen him broken in spirit , weak in body , and pale in the face ; bnt , on the contrary , they found him courageous , h a ! e , and hearty ; he was , however , again found guilty , ; and further imprisoned , a thing almost unprecedented , in consequence of the agitated state of the country , he

      was removed to the Penitentiary , where he was confined in an airy stone room of four yards long by twe w ide , where they attempted to teach him the delicate art of tailoring . ( Laughter . ) He had only been there two months when be was remevea to Oakham , where he was allowed tbe liberty of purchasing his own foed , and again he lived like a Christian , Now , what was the result of all this ? He went to prison a democrat —he stood there the same man ; and if he had not been active iu London since his release , it was not owing to his having become lukewarm In the cause , but because he thought he was entitled to at least a few weeks ' relaxation , after an imprisonment of twenty months . However , he was again before them , to vindicate the

      right of the working classes to be represented in tbe House of Commons , That was the cause ol their meeting ; for he would hold any one in political contempt who could forget that great principle out of compliment to himself . He contended that every man should have a share in making tbe laws he was called upon to obey ; tii&t was the principle of the Charter , and he would for ever advocate it to its fullest extent , and denounce any one as a public enemy who would coir-promijse any one of the five great principle it contained . After going at considerable length into the five great points of the Ckarter , the speaker denied that ne had ever been a " pike and dagger" man ; he had always been prepared to go along with the people in

      any course they thought it proper to adopt , bat be bad always been of opinion , and bad alw ^ rs advocated , that no ether means should be used than peaceful one * They would never obtain their end unless they became a sober and a moral people . Let them attend to their domestic duties—let them look to their own families , forsake the gin palace , and bo shew the * ri * tocracy that they were a people worthy to be entrusted with the power they claimed . If tbe / did not—if they continued to frequent the beer-shop and the pnblic bouse , they would be unworthy of tho jwMlegea the / sought . If they were a s * uUess people , they might dethrone tbe royal family , and outlaw the House of Lords ; but they would ( all back again into the condition of miserable and degraded slaves ,

      and , in the language of St . Paul , " the last state of that people would be worse than the first . " He was there to pledge himself , with all the ardeur of youthful enthusiasm , to a renewed advocacy of . the People ' s Charter . ( Loud and prolonged cheers . ) In his boyhood he had been a democrat , and these principles had grown with his growth ; beside the printing press he had read the writings * f Paine , and Volney , and Cobbett , and Franklin ; he became aa enthusiast in the cause o ? liberty , and he' thought in the depth of his enthasiasm , that everybody else was like him , and that the pe » ple would soon be free , ( Cheers . ) After having been confined twenty months in a prison , whose yard he walked in solitude , with no book to cheer him , and ao friend to speak to , he came out with the

      settled conviction that a change must be made not LESS than the People ' s Charter ; but aa much further as the strength of the public mind will carry it . ( Hear , hear . ) Now , is&id Mr . Vincent , ) a word as to the meaas : —tbe days of idle bombast and rant are gone by ; the common sensa of the nation is with us ; and every attempt at mere folly will recoil on our own heads . If we content ourselves with attending public meetings , and returning with congratulations on having heard " excellent speeches , "—if we talk about our readiness to do anything for the publio cause , and yet are offended if a sixpence in the shape of contribution be required of us ; then , the sooner we abandon our tulse position , the better for ourselves and ethers;—but , even iu this room there are a sufficient number , if their

      energies be rigUiy directed , to effect a moral and political revolution iu London in two or three years . The most enlightened minds and the mo » t virtuous hearts mu ^ t combine in one large society for the erection of a Trades' Hall , aad foe aeniiiag forth missionaries to call the drunkard from the giu-palace ( load cheers )—to point to the yoot broken-hearted and wretched being who , while her husband is oa his way to tho pawnbrokers , to pawn her rags for drink , is starving with her family , perhaps , in a wiserublo cellar . la such a being worthy the naino of man ? ( Cries of " No , no . " ) Then we must reform him ; and if it be not possible to reform him by any other means , I implore even the most jovial si * ul among you to lend a helping hand in tho establishment of

      democratic teetotal societies , iu sobciiaing tho population , in watching iudividals , aud in putting down the caut and humbug of the fanatics . iHear , hear . ) We have the power of quietly revolutionising our country , if wo will but exercise that power in a proper manner ;' our salvation lies in » ur own hands , and if we are determined to free our country , as I for one am , let us battle with every slave till we have achieved our object . ( Great excitement and prolonged cheering . ) My heart is with jou—my soul is with you—and I never felt more determined to go forward in a ryjhttoua cause . I am bound to " keep the peace , " and I will keep it ,

      like an honest man ; but , by tbe God that made me , I will devote every energy to spread those principles that shall prepare tub way for the greatest measure of happiness to thu entire people . i . et not men say , " I am for Paul , " ana " 1 am for Cephas , " — say not I am for Loveit , and I for Frost , or Vincent , or O'Connor—but let the cry of all be , "I am for tho Charter "—iloud cheers;—und so improve the public mind that before another anuual revolution be completed , the watchword will be " Long live the people to make good laws ; long livn liberty ! " ( Tumultuous cheeriug , lasting for several minutes , greeted Mr . Vincent at the conclusion , as at the commencement of his

      address . ) Mr . John Cleave rose to propose the next toast : — " The People ' s Chatter ; may it BpeoUily becoaie the law of tbe land . " He felt , in proposing this toast , that be had a sacred duty to perform , as au uugnfranchised cuizen ; and , notwithstanding all that their friend Vincent had so vvtil mid about his ardour and enthusiasm being undituinushtd , those who have gone a little before him . might be permitted also to reDvvr their declarations of energy in the cause of tho People's Chatter . Mr . Vincent hiul Very nbly gone over tho various pr inciples embodied in the Charter , a n d tho u gh he was eloqueut throughout , he Jell perhaps thut he was a httie trespassing ; Cough at the miuu time he felt . ti . at be was here unfairly put upon his trial , iu

      rebutting the vniious caiun . nits that some dirty , sneaking cowards , who dared not sptufc op « nly , tvavl -wbiapered about , that Viucen ; had abandoned hia principles . ( Loud cheers . > But he had not stopped to snarl with tho « uarl > jrs ; he took up these priuciples , and showed th . it hu wa * ihe same Chart'st at henrc as before ho entered the Whig ilungeons . Mr . Cleave then proceeded to stale U . at the means of advancing the c :. use of tho Cuuj ter must not be nugected ; he had conndtred these means , and had come to the coaclusion that it wiis folly to fritter away the uu-ans which a life of industry supplied , ¦ while iilty ruuliuiis a year continued to bo spent in spirits an ^ . b *; rr ; the mail who had not sluin

      his sins was a ht creature for Whig or Tory despotism . tLoud cheers . ; Iteftrring to the address of Mr . Vincent , ( as originally j . ul < iis : he < i in the Star , ) the speaker 8-iid that iftiie working men of this country Would act up to the spirit of that address , and devote that which they now spent in iutcxitating drinks to their own self-ekvation , the humlwj of " moderation" would bo slain outright , and ttelotnlism would be teetotally triumphant . In conclusion , he urged upon all the friends of the Charter to give up the pot and the pipe , which formed a dead weight upon the working man ia this country . No friend to the People's Charter would spend that upon poison , which he ou ^ ht to dwote to the regeneration uf hia country .

      Mr . Mc&re said , it was his melancholy duty , in the toa . ^ t had to propose , to refer toiriouds who were not there , but whose zeal for the cause of Cliartism had made them the victims of oppres-sion , and he trusted that equal zeal would be manifested in their endeavours to place those friends a ^ ain amongst them . He ailuded , among others , to the veneruied and aged Frost , who wus the victim of an illegal seiitoueo ; aiid they would rtcoliect that the ' . r friend Hsiherin ^ ton was detained over tho water for an cff < : ace agninht cliurch crafc . He would then propose ,

      " The speedy reiurn of Frost , \ V 1 Hiam 3 , and Jones , and thd liberation of all imprisoned victims of political and religious persecution . " —( Great applause . ) He trusted they would indeed soon be brought back from their distant banishment , to which they hau been consigned by the machinatioua of Whig aud Tory , whose votes never failed to be blended together against those who advocated tho cause of the people . But , ha repeated , they had bec-n illegally transported . The quibbles of Jaw , so successfully urged in the recent case of 0110 who was distinguished by the prefix of " Lord ' to hia name , were not allowed to be entertained in favour of the unfortunate men in question . 'The same measure of justice was not exteuded to them : for he did not

      deny the justice of Lord Cardigan ' s acquittal ; the law of evidence ougnt , hi ail cases , to bo etrictly enforced , not only with mpect to identity of persons , but every particular pom : which has been subjected to legal regulation . Tnc accused ought to have the . iull benefi ; of such law , then why was it withheld from Frost aud his companions Their case was similar to that of Lord Cardigan . An exception was made oa a point of law by their counsel , and the Judges said they would reserve tho objection ; and when counsel asked if thoy should stand in the same situation a * if the objection was takep , then the Judges acquiesced ; and , on the afterconsideration of the question at istue , nine out of fifteen Judges were of opinion that the objection in favour of the prisoners Mas valid ; and when the next obstacle was raised—wiiea it waa urged on the part of tho prosecution that the objection had not been made in time , and that therefore tha prisoners not entitled to benefit b

      were y it , si * of the Judges were of opiui . n that it was made in time . ( Hear . ) But the fact was , in cases of murder such pleas might be admitted ; but , if the fate of a political opponent were involved , he was deprived of everything that might save him . Ho would remind them , too , that the aged mother of Frost was yet living , in the hope that she might on . ee more lonk upon her child ere she died ; aud ibo wives , children , friends , all who were in any way connected with those unhappy exiles , aud thousands who were not , would join in working cut their deliverance . They ( the meeting ) would also recollect , that Frost was of & class above them , but that he had given up all for the prosecution of their cause . Mr . Moore concluded by stroDgly reprehending such prosecutions as that instituted against Mr . Hetherington , and expressing a fervent hop © that Frost , Williams , and Jones might be once more amoDg them . ( Prolonged cheering . )

      Mr . Peat , in supporting the toast , observed , that Frost waB . in every respect , an upright man , and the poor man ' s friend ; and if one mau was aware of those facts more than another , it waa their little enthusiastic friend Vincent . But Frost was iu a penal settlement , while Lord Cuadigan was pronounced "Not guilty , upon my honour . " Away with such honour—the honour of these king-made nobles ; but Frost was a noble of nature , and carried with him iuto exile the impress of superiority . ( Applause . ) It had been said that the case of Frost

      and that of Lord Cardigan wero parallel eases : he was not of that opinion ; he thought them widely different . In Lord Cardi gan ' s case , a foul design was manifested ; a design upoa the life of 1 fellowcreature ; need he teii them , that in the case 0 Frost nothing of the kind was exhibited . The wrongs that had been inflicted upon the people—the insults that bad been heaped upon them by refusing their petitions ; these working upon minds not so intelligent a 8 they ouglit to be , bad induced the commission of acts whicn were deeply to be regretted

      and for these Frost had suffered , and was suffering ; and that man , whose mind was as little as his body Lord John Russell , was at the bottom of it . ( Cheers and ¦• pprouse . ) He set engines to work for entrapping the best of men . The outrage which formed a plea for severity might have been prevented if proper meaps had been adopted ; but it certainly was , in a great measure , justified . H « trusted they would never oease from their exertions , tmtil placed in the position which they were entitled to by the laws of God and the laws of reason . The toast waa then put from the chair , and received with general applause . Mr . Nbesom then rose , and observed , that in having the toast he was about to submit placed in his hands , he considered himself more highly honoured than any of the company , as it was one which no individual whose mind was properly regulated would fail to approve . It was

      "Theladies who have honoured ub . with their presence . As they are alike interested with us in good government , may they still lend us their powerful influence to ' obtain it , ¦ ' . '"¦' All who were there present , would well remember the time when the ladies were not held in such high consideration ; but they knew that they were now the dominant party . —( Laughter . ) He had ( and it might be news Co them ) on a particular occasion , received an order from the Court of Queen ' s Bench to appear , as he understood it , personally before the Queen ; but they would anticipate what his feelings wero when he found it was all a hoax . —( Laughter . ) The first office of tho State was now filled by a woman , aud one , too , not of the greatest experience ;

      but they must support the dignity of their ohiei magistrate , who , being a woman , rendered the propriety of this toast the more strikingly manifest . He adverted to the reprehensible neglect of female education , and contended that it would be better that the opinion of the Turks , who held that women have no souls , should obtain in this country , than that they should remain as they were ; but he trusted that the time was not far distant when education would render them better wives , better mothers , and plaoo thorn in that station in society , to which they were so nobly entitled ; he trusted that the time was not far distant when ignorance would be swept from the gentler sex like chaff before the wind—when they would no longer be

      infatuated with the charms of a tawdry dress , or filled with envy because a neighbour exhibited a finer riband than themselves—when women , as well as kings , priests , and lords , must give way to the growing intelligence of the people . ( Applause . ) lie hoped , too , that the time was not distant when meetings of this sort would bo crowded with women . He again emphatically dwelt on the necessity of ennobling the fema ' . o aud raising her from the station of a mere domestic menial , by education , but he advised them to educate their daughters themselves , and not hand thorn over to church and state schools . Let their education be duly attended to , and wom « n and children would 6 oon join tho cry for Universal Suffrage .

      The Rev . Dr . Wade said , he perfectly agreed with the sentiments expressed by Mr . Neesom , with respect to the ladies ; but , as to the Sovereign , he rather pitied her , as she evinced the possession oi qualities wbioh only required a more genial atmosphere than a court . He was , in his youih , entrusted with a petition to William tiie Fourth . He was sent up with it , and i . e would assure them that , in its presentation , he was most roughly handled ; and he overheard his Majesty enquiring of the Lord Lieutenant of his ( the speaker ' s ) county , " What ' s the meaning of this petition V in a tone and manner not at all flattering to his feelings . The Queen had acted very differently . He had also been entrusted with a petition to her Majesty , on behalf of Frost ,

      Williams , and Junes , wiiich ho happened to take for presentation , on a day especially appointed for the reception of addresses only ; and her amiabl e conduct on that occasion , and- the manner in which she expressed herself , even in the presence of her courtiers , was such a 3 convinced him that , if any fault . wero to bo ascribed to her , ic was imputable to a corrupt Court , aud not to the natural disposition or inclination of the Queen . He went , as he said , 011 a day exclusively appointed for addresses , and was told that hia petition would not bo received ; but he told those who endeavoured thus to put him off , that he hud a duty to perform for those who had sent him , and that he should persist in his purpose . Ho did so , and her Majesty eventually received his petition in a most gracious manner . He adverted to tho bright profpects which awaited " us Chartists , "

      and said , ho was what . was termed a middle-class man ; and , aided by them , he could do niuch ; but consistently with his cloth , he must press for the employment of moral forco only . Ho agreed with tho aeniioicnts uttered by Mr . Vincent , and contended that no one need be ashamed of being a Chartist . Iu this age of inventions , noihing had been found out at all comparable with Chartism * , it meant a reformation of the democracy . They had formerly a Magna Chavta ; that was for the nobles ; but they resolved now to . havo a Reform Charter . They had obtained a Kei ' crm Bill , but that was a humbug . Those who carried it hahooed oa the peopie , as huntsmen do thtir hounds ; but they ( the huntsmen ) took tho hare , and then lashed back tho hounds that had aided them to their kennels . ( Applause . ) But wouid they be ^ tuTe re d to do eo now ? Would such treatment now bo tolerated I No . The

      Charter thoy sought for waa such as every Christian should advocate ; it involved what every ChrLtian should strive to obtain for his country—equal right ? , and equal laws . He would say to them , as Washington said to the Americans , when thoy were trying their great Chartist plau—be discreet , bo moral , acd show that you are worthy of the boon you ask for . This country was in a state of transition—things could no longer stand still . The Poor Laws must be amended , aad measures adopted which would render tho people free and happy . He , for one , should make every possible effort to promote tho advancement and eventual success of the cause in which they were all embarked . ( Loud cheers . ) The toast was then formally submitted by the Chairman , and drunk witlr three times three .

      Mr . Camukon next observed , that a most unexpected and pleasing duty had been imposed upon him , that of returning thanks in the name of the ladies . He proceeded accordingly ; and , after the expression of some suitable compliments , concluded with the hopo that the rights and dignity of woman would , ere long , bo more generally acknowledged . The Chairman now intimated , that tha graver portion of the business of tha evening was at an end , and that the remainder of the time they were together would be devoted to dance and song . Ho then quitted the chair , w hen

      Mr . Vincent rose , and , after apologising for again presenting himself to the meeting , said his purpose vras to propose the health of the consistent aud longtried Radical who had so ably occupied the chair that evening—he meant their modest and amiable friend , William Lovett He ( the speaker ) had known him during a period of four years ; he had been much with him , at his own home , and in walks in the green fields , &nd it was by that soit of Communion only thut a man could be truly known . Throughout this intimacy , he ban ever found William Lovett tlie most consistent and determined supporter of Democracy in all its bearings . He had suffered much from imprisonment and persecution in consequence , but it would be insulting to most present , who had known him for a much longer time , to say more than to propose tho fawalth of their worthy friend , William Lovett . Drunk with great enthusiasm .

      Mr . Lovett , in shortly acknowledging the toast , observed , that although the excitement of a publio meeting was painfully unpleasant to him , he Lad unwillingly acceded to the request of hia friends on the present occasion ; and he warmly thanked them for the kind support they had given him , and the attention they had ( Uniformly bestowed upon those who addressed them . Under each plate wn » placed a copy of the address , written by Mr . Vincent , in Oakham Gaol , with the names of the Rev . Mr . Hill and others , attached thereto ; tbizJ furnished a " luncheon" for the assembly , for the address was tagerly " devoured . " An excellent band was iu attendance the waole evening , and enlivened the proceedings with popular airs .

The authorities at the "Union" told the officers to take the poor sufferers to the " straw-yard , " a place unknown to the law , and ono to which Mr .

      The " City" News . —The Money Market this Week has been very much straitened , aud considerable temporary pressure ia experienced . Bankers and capitalists are so reluctant to "do a bit of stiff , " that the presenters of " flimsy" are for the most part entirely dependent on tbe " old lady" herself , even for the ordinary accommodations . Great hopes are entertained that this scarcity of money has arisen from the increased demand for capital , for employment in business undertakings , as in that case it id a favourable symptom . While the rate of discount is upwards of five per cent ., the value oi" money on

      change has not exceeded three and a half or iour per cent , for loans upon stock or Exchequer Bills , thus affording a curious contrast between the two markets . There is very little stock at present in the hands of jobbers , so that speculators can produce but a momentary effect upon quotations . The followipg are the closing prices of to day : —Threeper Cent . Reduced , 83 | ; Three per Cent . Consols , 818 ; x \ ew Three-and-a-half per Cent , S 7 ; Reduced Three-and-a-half per Cent , 98 £ ; Bank Stock , 166 $ ; Consols for Account , 88 i ; Exchequer Bills 4 ; India Bonds , 10 .

      Thb Poor Law Commission Continuance Bill . —Scarcely an independent provincial journal of the past week an be found that has not one , two , or moro reports of meetings against the above Bill . With the denunciation of its unconstitutional , arbitrary , and cruel character , there is almost invariably coupled a fervent hope that the unprincipled Ministry b y whom it was thrusi upou the country may speedily bo " kicked out of tho station vvhicn they so unworthily occupy . " The result of the debate on Lord VIorpeth ' s Bill was , we understand , looked anxiously for at Paris , aa it involves , according to the Freneh politicians , not only the dissolution of our House of Commons , but the resignation of the Melbourne Cabinet . The French Government , we are told , ordered a courier to be sent off with the division , and his despatches to bo telegraphed from Calais .

      Opposition to the Isew Poor Law Amendment Bill . —The unpopularity of this measure * becomes every day more apparent . Within the last few days several influential meetings have been held in the metropolis to petition Parliament against the Bill . In the parishes of St . George-the-Martyr , Southwark , and St .

      The Bill for facilitating the administration of justice at petty sessions was read a second time last night in the House of Lords . The Earl of Mount Edgecumbe put some questions on the subject of Mr . Snow Harris , and his plan for applying lightning conductors to the vessels of her Majesty ' s navy . Tho Earl of Minto stated that the Admiralty had written to Mr . Harris , admitting his title to compensation for the time which he had devoted to tho subjec t , and for calling the attention of tho Admiralty to the practicability of applyiug a well-known principle to so importaut an end . The Admiralty , however , had added , that the sum demanded by Mr . Harris was unapproachable , and no answer had yet been received from that gentleman .

      HOUSE OF COMMONS . Lord Sandon drew the attention of the Government to the calamitous shipwreck of the Governor Fenner , by which upwards 120 lives had beea i # st , and asked whetker it was intended to bring forward any measure to prevent similar misfortunes hereafter . Mr . Labopchibj ? said that the authorities most competent to judge had been consulted , and the result was a belief that it would not be adviscable to apply the rule of the road to the sea , as respected tho management of steamers . The debate on the Parliamentary Voters ( Ireland ) Bill waa then resumed by Mr . J . M . Gaskell , who said he thought the siniplo lact of Mr . Shell ' s rising to address tho House from the Treasury bench , was a sufficient justification fox * Lord Stanley and Sir James Graham iu abandoning the present administration .

      Mr . V . Stuabt contended that there was nothing in the present measure inconsistent with the Reform Bill . Col . Conolly would resist strong ] y a Bill like this , which went to perpetuate the empire of the Hon . and Learned Member for Dublin . Mr . Howard stated his belief that , in the first instance , Lord Stanley ' s Bill was popular throughout the country , but that its popularity vanibhed as the people oecame better acquainted with its provisions . Mr . Lascelles opposed the second reading of the Bill . Mr . Gi 8 D 6 rne supported . the second reading .

      Mr . Cholmondeley opposed the Bill , and deprecated the idea that Hon . Members were to be acted upon by fear , or that they were likely to yield to the intimidation held out , that , in the event of a war , Ireland would be : heir weak point if this Bill were not passed . Mr . M . J . O'Connell supported , and Mr . E . Tennent opposod the Bill . Mr . William Roche supported the second reading . Mr . Shaw said that the Irish Members were at pres entrather the representatives of numbers than of property , and the present Bill would carry that principle infinitely farther , for which reasons he would vote against its second

      reading-Mr . O'Connell said that the existence of 4 , 000 , 001 of paupers in Ireland was of itself a sufficient answer to all that bad been ever said in pj'ai > 'oot Irkh landlords . As to the Bill before the House , and that of the Noble Lord ( Stanley ) the people perfectly wtll understood the objects of both ; they understood that one was to extend and the other to curtail the franchise , and if they found the Parliament of England supporting the latter measure , was it likely thoy would not feel deep dissatisfaction and discontent 1 The Hon . and Learned Gentleman alluded to the disfranchisenient of the forty-shilling freeholders , and said it was never thought that

      they ought to be disfranchised until they began to act independently of their landlords . ( Hear . ) The Hon . and Learned Gentleman tken proceeded to show that though tho noble lord repudiated population as a basis of the f ranchiee in Ireland , he had adopted it in the Reform Bill lor Englaiid , by which an increased number of representatives was ^ iven to those counties possessing the largest amount 01 population . In Ireland the franchise was going out—it was dying away—tho landlords were extinguishing it , and he thanked the noble lord for rousing tht people of Ireland to their dauger , and giving them a timely summons to the field . The Hon . Member concluded by calling upon the House to pass the

      Sir R . Peel , amidst the continued cheering of the House , condemned in the strongest language the intolereut spirit displayed throughout the speech of Mr . O'Conueil . The Right Hon . Baronet then proceeded to analyse the bill , which he contended was an utter destruction of the existing franchise , and an erection of a perfeotly new one upon its ruins . The Right Honourable Baronet then proceeded to quote from the evidence of Mr . O'Coucdl before the Lords' Committee , with a view to shew that it was the evidence of the Catholics themselves which had sacrificed the 40 s . "freeholders , Mr . O'Connell himself having described them as the live stock of an estate . The Right Hon . Baronet , before sitting down . oaii

      ea upon the . Noble Lord ( J . Russell ) to declare it this principle < rf franchise waa to be applied to England , for nothing could be so injurious as to establish this precedent without making a publio declaration that it was not to be considered or acted unon as a precedent for England . . *> »» . Lord Johk RU 08 EXI . said . that with respect to extending a similar franchise to England ne ^ must say that the cases were very different ' and that of Ireland was eo very peculiar , thai ne could scarcely conceive a possibility of a ca « e equally peculiar aud equally stringent being ever made out either for England or Scoiland .

Since this day se'nnight , there has been a moderate demand for Wheat for consumption , and our last quotations for free foreign have been very fully maintained .
