      Mr . Roebuck , although he did not see the present Secretary of State for Foreign Affiirs in his place , wished to give notice that to-morrow he should put a question to him with respect to the relations existing between America and this country as regarded the cass of Mr . M'Leod , aHd inasmuch as that question would be unintelligable without some prefatory remarks , he hoped by the kind indulgence of the House , he would be permitted to make them . Mr . M . Phillips moved the address in answer to her _ U 3 J' ? scy's speech , aad iu doin * j so alluded slightly ind in a congratulatory tone to the foreign policy of the country . He then enlarged Upon thp state of our commercial relations , and contended that unless we a ' tered our import duties in Eome particulars , and more especially with respect to tho duties on > u ^ ar , we could not hope to renew our treaty with : he Brazils under favourable circumstances . In

      adverting to the C ) rn Law 4 , he assured the House that 'ipon no previous occasion wuhin hia receJlection had th ? re existed such depression and misery as now prevailed throughout the manufacturing districtsliepres .-ion which mitrht be removed by an alteration f > f the Corn Laws , because those laws affected manu" actur ; 3 and commerce in more waya than one . They tfnded to derange the currency by leading to tho exportation of gold , by which , as a necessary consequence , trade was completely paralysed . Ho « 'as oi" opinion that the best mode of relieving the distress of the manufacturing districts would be by throwing down all obstacles to the extension of tho manu f acturing industy of tho country , and in se doinK , the laaded interests would find that they had i-nrff-rred upon themselves the most lasting benefits . Thp Hon . Member concluded by moving the address , which was , as usual , aa echo of the speech . Mr . Di ' - Vdas shortly seconded the address .

      Mr . S . WoRTLiiY then ro ? e to more an amendment to the address . Her Majesty ' s Ministers had , he said , appealed to the country in support of their measures , and hp , under the peculiar circumstances attending hi ? return to that I louse , could scarcely be considered presumptuous in thu 3 early prpfenting himself to their notice , giving , 83 he did , by his very pre .-ence in the House an an-weron tho part of an important portion of the country to the appeal which had been made to it by the Government . Concurring , as he did , in the views of Hon . Genileaion on his side of the lions ? , and believing those Tjevrs to be in accordance with the feelings of the : _ T 8 at majority , not only of his own constituents , but

      ¦ jf the counfry at large , he felt himself called upon to ask whether it was meet that her Majesty ' s Minister ? , under the circumFtancvS in which they were placed , should be entrusted with the future conduct of the sffiirs of the couiitry , or whether they should be permitted to dictate thu answer of her Maj-sty ' t speech . Un ^ er all the circumstances surrounding ; he present Govemmr-nt , he thought it was the duty of the House to inform her MjJ -sty , before they assumed the responsibility of entering upon the business of the nation , that they had not confidence in her . V ! aJ 3 ? ty ' s Ministers . ( Ct . eero ) The Hon . Genthman concluded by moving an amendment the sm » as iha . i ia the Hou > e of Lords .

      Lord 13 ruck said that he repr ^ s a large seaoori : own , and he had no hesitation in sayine that ' in constituents adopted to the fullest extent the sentiment * embodied in tho amendment j : st moved by Iks Hon Friead . ( Cheer * . ) Unless tho decision if tbo last Parliament , as to want of confidence in ihe present Government , wore cancelled by the 'ie «; ii : on of this Parliament , it would not be con ? is : ent with the dignity of the House to canvass any distinct measures brought forward by ML-. isters placed in j = ueh a position . Tho Noble Lord conclu-ird a poinred speech agains : the Government by seconding the amendment to the address .

      Mr . Labouchehe said he was at a loss to nnderstaud the policy of the Amendment which had been ! 3 'jvH . I ; certainly declared a want of confidence in M . nistc-r ? , but ic ^ ave no indication of the policy ro wh ^ ch it wa 3 intended that it should lead . The Ri ^ ht Hon . Gentleman defended the conduct of the C . orernment , which had , he said , conducted the uff > irs of the country iu a spirit of economy , and > vhich had succeeded in preserving the peace of Europe with ? c .-. rce ! y the slightest interruption . Mr . D ' Israeli supported tho Amendment , and joiidemiied : he use which had been made by the pre-? ei ! t Government of her Maj-. sty's name , and tho position in which they had placed her by their very iaft s : ep , in bringing a speech from tho 2 'hrone with uo other view than that of lajiiig the basis of a nascent opposition .

      Commodore NAprER eulegised the GovernmcHt ¦ and supported the address . Lord Polling-ton supported the amendment , and > a : d that he vvoald leave the Ministry in their antic'pated defeat to th « consolations which were induljrcd in by the . r journa ' s—tba ' , if no longer a Government , they would b ? , a : all events , a formidable opposition . This he admitted , for they were like tho > e eastern barbarians who , when defeated by the Roman ? , were stilJ formidable from the poisoned weapons wh . ch they Hung behind them .

      Mr . RosBtrcK ran over the various sins committed by tho present Ministers towards tho people who had ' placed them in p" > wer , and contended that all their errors w « re attributable to their having walked too clos-ly in the steps of the Tories . They had a ? ked the country " Do you like us V And the country had answered—there was no use disguising thoujzh he regretted the fact—the country had answered " We do not . " Ho wished to ba understood , when ho said t 5 ie country , that he only referred to the constituencies—and by those constituencies the Ministry were told that its &ervkes were no longer required . When the H ? n . Gentleman sat down , a cry of "Divide " arose , and the gallery was ordered to be

      cleared , but Mr . Mu . mz presented hinuelf to the House , and said that although he thought the repeal of the Corn Law 3 weald produce a reduction © f wages , yet the people would not be suffered to remain in their present state of starvation , and something must be done to give increased employment to tho labouring classes . 31 r . Ewaet then rose , and moved the adjournment of the debate until Wednesday . S : r K . Peel said he acquiesced in the adjournment on the special ground that the Speaker had been in tho chair since twelve o'clock that day . T / : e debate was accordingly adjourned antil Wednesday .

      Wednesday , A ugust 2 o / A . Mr . T . Detxcombe presented 409 petitions from Leicester , and 19 from Nottingham , against tho present state of the representation . The petitioners declared they wore working men , and considw ^ d themselves slaves unless allowed to have a voice in * the election of their representatives , and they earnestly besought the House to present an address to her Majesty , praying she would be graciously pleased : o dissolve the present Parliament . ( Great Laughter . ) Petitioners also prayed that the House would be pleased to order tho discharge of all political offenders . Tha Hon . M-mber also presented a petition from twenty working men of Glasgow , the terms of which were not very flattering to that Hoass , which they represented as neither legally nor mentally fit to represent them , because it was eleced by a very small portion of the male classes of the comtnnnity . This petition also concluded with i > prayer for another dissolution .

      Tne adjiurned debate on the address was resumed by Mr . Ltvjlrt . who said he warmly concurred in its general spirit , and entered upon a lengthened . justification of the principles of free trade , and of the msasHre 3 founded upon those principles by her Majesty ' s Ministers . Captain Hamilton said the real point at issue in that debate was , whether or act the present Minis-

      ters did or did not possess the confidence of that house . Any difcnssion upon the Corn Laws was totally foreign to this point , and he would therefore x efia-nfroto entering upon , that topie , and confine bi ' mself to the Bianple declaration that he had no eivifidence whatever in her Majesty'a present advkvrs . ; ¦ . ; ¦ •;¦ . ¦ kV . Ward , in supporting the address , took an oppoi tunity of referring to the period when the ministi * rs were compelled to abandon the appropriation cJ » . ' 6 e and iusiated upon it that they should then hare reai ^ ned , as at that period no ministry conld be found boia enough to take office upon the principles of iucreasea expenditure , a diminution of the Irish registry , whitu he presumed would take place if the noble lord opposite ( Lord Stanley ) acceded to power , and the mMnte&anoe of that moastrous grievance , the Irish church .

      Mr . M . Svrtov contended that the lot * of the confidence of the country in the piesent ministry was to be attributed to the lwng visia of broken promises which their administration presented . He should vote in favour of the amendment * Dr . Bowaiaa in the eourse © f a long speech against the amendment , said that the Cora Laws were an enormous drawback npoa our comatercial intercourse with other countries . He bad himself been the bearer of mauy messages from foreign powers , proposing commercial relations , which were invariably refused , because tho Ministry dared not to propose any alteration of the Cora L * wg . Mr . P . M . Stewajtc said he had a deep interest ithe lauded

      n prosperity ; but , upon broad principles , he would advocate a liberal system of com mercial legislation . Mr . S . Crawford and Mr . Cobdkn supported the address . Ihe latter gentleman contended at great length that the aristocracy of the country Were not taxed in anything like a proper ratio in proportion to the heaviness with which the burden fell upon the poor and labouring classes of the community . He also insisted that the abrogation of the Corn Laws would create an increased demand for manufactures , and of course for labour , to that instead of low wages tha resalt would be cheap oread and increased wages . In faot , wages depended not on cheap or dear bread , but simply upon the supply and demand for labour . He likewise adverted to the

      meeting of dissenting clergymen in Manchester , and iaid that tho question of the abolition of the Com Laws , having been once taken up by the pastors of thecommunity , must bo considered , a . t was said by the Noble Lord opposite ( Lord Stanley ) in reference to the Slave Trade , to be virtually carried . Mr . Bailey denied that the distress prevailed through the manufacturing districts was in any way attributable to the Corn Laws . On the contrary , during tho last twenty years the manufactures of the country had been trebled , whilo the distress of

      : he operatives had been continually on the increase ; and while the manufacturers were realising fortunes the operatives were starving , a clear proof that the interests of these parties were not identical ; and ia his opiuion , though the repeal of the Corn Laws might be advantageous to tho latter , a great deal of the distress was occasioned by tho manufacturers therjn 3 olve 8 , who reversed the order of nature by contracting with union workhouses and using every means to procure infani labour , and thus throw ainlt labour out of employment .

      Mr . Brotherton defended the manufacturers , ami su'd if the manufactures were destroyed , the agriculturists woul-i be irretrievably injured . Mr . H . Grattan supported tho address . Lord WoRSLtr said that although he disapproved of the proposal of tho government as respected the corn laws , yet as the right hon . bart . ( Sir K . Peel ) intended to make some alterations , of tlie nature oi which he was not aware , and as upon most other topics ho dificred from tho right hon . ban ., while ho ad ; airtd the general policy of tho present ministers , he thought himself justified in supporting thorn in prefereiii e * -o the ri ^ ht hon . baronet . Mr . U . tST / K supported the address .

      ENORMOUS LYING OF DAN OCOXNELL . TO THE EDITOR OF THE NOltTHEUN STAR . Sin , —AI ' ow me through the columns of your widely circulated Ji-urcA ] , to s ; sy a few words in answer to some of ihu most barefaced and unfuuudtsd statements ever put forth by a public character , and wbich havo appeared in the Dtibtin Register oi August 21 st . I shall first give the tsstiactdfrom Mr . OConnell ' s speeches , as they appuiif in ihat yiaptr . The first is ftta " Great Repeal Meetiug in Drogheda . " Mr . O'C'jnnell ears" I wiil toll yo-. i something of the conduct of the Chartists iu Eiitland during the late election . I will

      toll yuu how th » -y acted in Carlisle . Mr . Hoirard , a man cf ancient family , is one of tho members , and Mr . MaTssliJiU is the other member . What did the Chartists lo at the late election » Did they join tho Reformers ? Xo , they joined tha brother of that swivelled-eyed fellow who was Secretary for Ireland , and who let uo inan get into fflk-ce while he was in Ireland , but an Orangeman . There is the rasn whose brother the Chartists support agaiiiit the Reformers . During tbo election ono of them killed a man , ar . d ¦ was tran . < -p : rted fifteen years . ( 11 tar , hear . ) It ttm not liltrty or Universal Suffrage they wcra supporting . They were doing tlie revtTisa—thi-y wxro supporting Toryism there . "

      The next txtratt is fro ;; i a speech ot Jlr . O'Connell ' s delivered at the " Loyal National Kcpeal Association , " held nt the Corn Exchange . It is as follows : — ' Their conduct at the late election was atrocious—Mr . OHiggins comes forward on their behalf , and would fain veciwmend them to tha favour and friendship of Irishmen . But does he fancy we ci . n forget the conduct and character of the party he upholds ? What was thti course pursued bj the Chartists at CatHslo during the late election ? Mr . Howard , a . high-minded and pntrioUc gentlemen , n Rom-iu Catholic Liberal Reformer , and Mr . Marshall , of Leeds , were tho candwatcs on the popular side ; but tho chivalrous Chartists , instead of allowing thesa gentlemen to get tho votes of the e ! ectoi 3 , for they ( the Chartists ) bad

      bnt few votes am .-. ng themselves , turn tbeir backs traitorously on inn frieuds of liberty , the Queen , and the ptople , use every unholy influence that could bo devised to deter the Liberal electors from supporting them , and gave vrnatevor votes wero at their disposal to to Surgpant G ; ulburn , brother to that immaculate gentleman , who had been Chancellor of the Exchequer to Peel , and who actually sant in , bi 3 resignation rather than give a vote in favour of Catholic Emancipation Yes ! this was the man of the Chartist ' s choice , he whom they enshrined in their heart of hearts , and In forwarding whose interests they , not conJent with having given him their votes , actually killed a inan in a despcrato ^ rush made against the liberal party . " I have bean thus particular in making

      these extracts from the Dublin Rejfi * ter , lest it might be said that I had dealt unfairly by Mr . O Connell . In answer to those assertions of Mr . O'Conneil ' a , I have to state , that thi-y are nothing but a tissue of the grossest nnd most barefaced falsehoods ever uttered by a public man . Mr . O'Connellhas long striven to keep up a division between the English and Irish working men , evidently for tho purpose of carrying on his horrible and tricked delusions ; but ho may depend upon it , that tfce spell is about to be broken , and that he will not be ablo much longer , even with the aid of the Catbolfc clergy , to keep the people ot Ireland in a state of tbraldom . But to come more immediately to the above extracts . As Secretary to the Chartist

      Election ComroiUee , I most solemnly declare , that -we took no pa . tt whatever with eitUet tho Whig or the ToTy party ; and that the few Chartist voters , so far from giving their votes to Serjeant Goulburn , did not vote at all , though urgently requested to do bo by both parties . The Chartist Election Committee canvassed for another gentleman , of much more liberal principles than either tho Whiss or the Tory ; and when they found tbere was tie chance of suefceeding with their candidate , they mad « an opeu declaration to that effect , and left those who had promised them support to act as they thought proper : anil the result was , as already stated , that scarcely any of the Chartists voted at alL

      These are facia which scores cm bear testimony to ; and how Mr . O'Connell could state such gross and glaring falsehoods I know not , except for the purpose of keeping up the delusion which he has so long practised on his poor and unfortunate countrymen . All the sensible aud honest portion of the ChartiaU here despised both parties ; nor did they lend themselvesas somo of tha Catholics did—to the support of a faction who had imprisoned some of their best friends for no crime ataii , but merely for advocating those principles -which alone will svcuie good &nrt honest government , both to England and Ireland . Mr . O'Connell wishes to m * ke it appear that the Chartists killed a man in an attaok which they made on the Liberal candidates . Nothing could be more untrue than this statement , for the facts are flJJ follows ; and I appeal to any man , of whatever party , to contradict what I am about to state .

      After the nomination , a large crowd ot people , made np of all parties , followed the Liberal candidates to the ifc ^ Fde-house Hotel , hooting ' and throwing bits of sticks an ^ stones . After Mr . Howard and his party had entere \ the hotel , Mr . Grahame , the Superintendent of P-jlicV deemed it necessary to order hi * men to drive btck fee people . They did so ; the people fljing in all directions as fast as they could get away . When the late Thomas JardJne , one of the officers , rushed among tha people , striking in all directions , paying no regard to age or Bex , when ho was struck a blow by some one ; he fell down , and i \ is said died next morning in consequence . These are the simple facts of the case . I now leave your readers to judge how far this mountebank , for he baa really become little better , is to be credited , and in what way be oujht to be treated by a people whom he has thus basely belied and misrepresented . I hope the day is not far distant when the good-hearted Irish people will see through his juggling aud join the English . Chartists in their call for universal freedom .

      THE BE J VTY OF THE POOR LAW . TO THE EDITOR OF THS HOB / THKHN STAB . Sib , —I have just been looking * orer the columns of the Nottingham Review ot last Friday ' s date , in which I find that the Nottingham Board of Guardians 0 ) have had their weekly gathering , as per cnMora , and tha following is part and parcel of the dotogn of . the said philanthropist * :- * ¦ .

      "PAUPRB . LISTS . " Mr . Soars referred the board to » flat of pMrpen published In 1811 , and inquired whether fiste of persona receiving parochial relief weekly could not Again be printed and hung up in conspicuous places ,.-wr he thought information might be obtained in confeownce from the rat * payers , of imposition , if such were prastised . " Mr . Barnett produced the quarterly lists , rea < rr prepared for publication ; and , if necessary , the board might order one weekly . " Mr . Williams inquired whether any Instances had occurred of rate payers coming forward and detecting imposition ? " Mr . Barnett replied . Chat he eonld scarcely recollect an instance . The quarterly list hangs up st the workhouse-door , two or three weeks after it Is published . "

      Now , Sir , it appoara ttat Mr . Sous feels somewhat sore at the paupers ' not having their names printed and exposed to public gaza "in conspiensus plaoes , " to avoid , as ho alleges , tho practice of " imposition . " It appears that the quarterly list had been prepared for pnblication , and toe board might , if necessary , order one weekly , yet it is still affirmed that scarcely an instance ofimposition could be rtcotteeted . Then what does the thing amount tot Why , manifestly to this . The indigent have been plundered of their jnat inheritance ( a subsistence from the soil ) by our modern Heroes , the Whigs , because my Lord Brougham dreamed that those " insatiable wild beasts , " the poor , " would eat up the estates of the rich , and that he himself would ultimately become a Westmoreland pauper , " for which he had b » zest , though he felt no reluctance to be quartered on the parish of the United Kingdom .

      WeH , the poor have been robbed of their Divine legacy , and left entirely ta the tender mvrcie * of the Devil-Kings and their imps ; bat tbis will not suffice the 8 % ueez- ) -gnts— they must publish the names of tho needy recipients of paroohial relief "in conspicuous places ; " not to detect " imposition , " though that i * the ostensible object , but in reality to shame the poot dependants , and induce them to discontinue their calls for the weekly pittance . But I would advise every applicant to present a more bold front to their Guardians than they have hitherto done , and let the petty tyrants know that they are not ashamed to receive the fraction ot their due , though they may blush while they think , that in a Christian country and in a land of Bibles the right of the poor has been taken away , and that such spoliation is the work of a " liberal" government , who lavishes the hard-earnings of the people upon titled indolence .

      Mr . Soars » ntl his coadjutors ought to know that there is a sere , a very old and galling sore , in the body politic , which , though not noticed by them , is nevertheless noticed by others , many instances of whreh are recollected , but which will , ere long , be healed by the applisation of that severeign remedy , the Charter , when such proud-flesh as theywilt epeedilydisappear . We have paupi'rs of " noble extraction" who are undisguised " impostors ; " these eat up our estates , yea , and tho clothes from cur backs , and " in conspicuous places " their names are and shall continue to be posted , until the sore is healed . Then , Mr . Soars , adieu to your craft . Yours , truly , Wm . Rider , Leeds , August 25 th , 1841 .

      Bradford Markets , August 26 th . —Wool—There is no new featiiro in this department . We have sfcili to record a fair amount of business in the shatty sorts of combing Wool at steady prices ; but Djwn sorts , and tho higher qualities of English growth , are still dull sale . The sales of Colonial Wools in London are proceeding very satisfactorily to the importers ; and notwithstanding the unprecedented amount in this seTica of Bales , prices are fully maintained .

Tho Piece Hall was dull , and but little doing in the fancy goods ; yet strange to say a great . quantity of poods seem to change hands . The trade appears mystified and incomprehensible . . Wools , Sco keep up in price as ' usual . ^ Leeds Ciath Markets . —Therq has not been any large share of business done at eithor of the Cloth Halls , on Saturday and Tuesday last , bnt this , it

      is supposed , docs not form any criterion of the amount of business done in the town . Most of the goods aro now takes direct from the manufacturer to tho warehouses , without coming near the Cloth Halls ; so that , whiJst stocks are gradually getting less , as tho better portion finds purchasers , there is no enrrecponding increase , and tho demand at the Cioth Halls , consequently , does not adequately show tho real btate of trade . Necessity compels the niarjiifactuTers to find the readiest markets , even at a . reduced figure .

      Richmond , August 21 st . —We had a tolerable supply of Grain in our market to-day ; the sale was heavy . There were a few samples of New Oats .

Newcastle Corn Market , August 21 . —The weather has much improved here , and during the week , with the exception of an occasional shower , it has been remarkably fine , and although wo had but a small supply of Wheat at market this morning , our millers snowed little disposition to purchase ,

      and the trade rulod dull at a decline of la . to 2 s . per qr . In bonded nothing doing . Rye maintains its value . Barley , Beans , and Peas , are without change . The demand for Malt is improving . For the season of the year , we had a large Bupply of Oats this morning , and the sale was dull at a decline of is . per qr . A sample of new appeared of fair quality , but in veryindiffere « t condition , which sold at 28 s . per qr . We have fair arrivals of Flour this week , and up to this day 57 s . has been got for households ; but as our millers determined on reducing their price next week 2 i . per sack , we alter our quotations to 563 ., at which we anticipate a fair sale .

      LivEi ' . rJOL Cattlk Market , Monday , Aug . 23 . —The supply of stock to-day has been very large , and the quality in proportion io the quantity middling good . The market was tolerably well attended by buyers and dealers , but sales w « re rather flat ; the first quality realised about the same prices as last week , but the middling and ordinary qualities were on the decline .

On Friday , however , the duty on Canadian Wheat and Flour receded to the lowest point , 6 d . per quarter and 3 ^ d . per barrel , and the stocks of these articles previously in bond were brought upon the free market ; this , in conjunction with several days' fine weather , had tho effect of depressing our prices ; Free Wheat was sold at 4 d . to 6 d . per bushel , Flour at fully 2 s . per barrel below our last quotations ; both Wheat and Flour iu bond were also cheaper—the former 3 d . per bushel , and the

      latter Is . por barrel . Oats and Oatmeal participated in the decline to tho extent of 3 d . per bushel , and 2 s . per load respectively . Barley , Beans , and Peas , unaltered in va ' . ue . Several cargoes of Egyptian Beans in bond have changed hands at 303 . per 480 Iba . Salford Cattle Market , Wednesday , August 25 . —Although there waa rather a better show of beasts to-day , yet good beef could uot be bought for loss money than it was last week , and all prime qualities were readily 6 old . Of sheep , too , the supply was fully an average , yef the same remarks apply to mutton as to Be&f , and prices did not vary from those of last market-day . Of lamba the supply was fair , chiefly from Yorkshire and Ireland , especially from the latter , and which found buyers at last week ' s rates , A few sheep and lambs unsold .
