      HOUSE OF LOBDS .-Fsidat , Feb . 26 . The Bishop of Lokdos presented tnro petition * from places in Essex against any future gnat to the College of Miynootii ; ata > a petition from a place in Lincolnshire agai&st the sanction given to superstition * practices in India , and paying that tne enactment on the subject might be earned into effect The Bill foi extending the Burning Act to the county snd city of Dublin -was read a second time and comxnitWd . The E&rlof Mockt Edgecuhbe presented a petition from- F&lmooth , complaining of the removal of the "West India packet station from Falmonth to Part-¦ joutfc , and paying that the change might not be ¦ auctioned untD their Lordships had inquired into the matter . The Noble EkI , vrho supported the prayer of tbe petition , condnded by moving that the report of the commisceners on the subject should be laid before ¦ fee House .

      Yiscowrt . Melbourne said , that the Government had nothing -whatever to do -with the place from Which the Tessela were to start—that depended upon the company to which they belonged . All that Cfoverament had done -sr&s to reserve te itself the right u to the port from which the m&il should start , and tb « y had determined that they should proceed from the port of Dartmouth . He had sever hevd any ¦ opinion in favour of the port of Falmouth , except from those parties -who were connected with the county of Cornwall . I / oid AsHBtrRTOH thought the arrangement made by ths Government was a most absurd one , because the Teasel -would hare two harbours to make instead of one man-every wage .

      After a few observations from the Earl of Minto and Lord Melbourne , the petition was ordered to be laid on the table ; and a copy of the report of the tomn ^ ittae on the subject of the departure of the West India mails ir&s ordered to be presented to the Houj * .

Hixdlbt presented an excellent petition from Ashton for a revision of the TaxiiL Serenl oiaer petitions ~ vere presented . In answer to Mr . HCiTE , Mr . Mat ; le stated th&t an account of the expence -of Lord Cardigan ' s trial might be laid before the House . Xcrd Stanley * Registration Bill was poat ^ oned tin Moniay . The Honae went in » o Committee on Lord Ke&ne's Annuity BilL In the Committee , Mr . Ewart moved to-omit the Words extending the grant to the two next heirs , so as to confine it te Lord- Keane for his life .

      Captain Hamilton , who has before exhibited symptoms of anindepeadent miad , though he be a Tory , supported Mr . Ewart . He regretted that the people ont Of doers should suppose that the granting of a peerage and a pension must go hacd in hand . Sir JOHS Cam HoBHOCSE supported the origi nal motion-After a short debate , the Committee divided , and the original motion -was carried by lir to 7-L The Bill ¦ went through the Committee unaltered . The East India Bum Duties Bill also vent through a Committee . The Ban-wars . Bill was committed , pro forma , to -enable Mi . Labouchere to introduce Bonie amendment in it A motion for a Bill to enable Municipal Councils to borrow money on Annuities was withdrawn , The House adjoumci .

      Monday ' , March 1 . Mr . Armstrong took the oa-. hs and his seat for King ' s County . Lord J . RrssEii , in reply to a . q-ie ; : ion from Sir J . Grah-. m , t - tid that a pension hao been granted to Lieut . 51 'Cormickjfor winindsiectiv-.. d in ihe capture of the Caroline . He was not aware of the fan when a . « ked the question on a former evening bj Sir R . Isglis . Lord J . Ttrssru . then staled , ic reference to the Parf-anieatary Voters ( Ireland ) Bill , that in the state 'J the public business it -would be extremely incjiiTcniem that the discussions in committee should take place before Easter . He should , there fore , propose to go into comxniuee in the first vretk after the Easter holidays , and would IUTCe Friday , the 23 rd of AuriL

      Lura Siasijst srron ^ ly expressed h \ $ surprise at tie dejay pr ; posed by the Nt > b ! e Lord in a measure of such importance . He gave notice that ia committee he would take the sense of ihe House against the clauses relating to the £ 5 franchise ,- sxd then commented in energetic lassuage ucon the course adopted by the Government . He gave the Noble Lord credi ; 'or great ingenuity in passing over do Ibes than twtlve order days before he brought on the committee , by which means he might perhaps be enabled to defeat his ( Lord Stanley's ) Bill by postponing is until a period , when lapse of time alone would be fatal to its success . He strongly suspected the motives which had led to this course of proceeding , bru would at present content hiraseif with postponing the reading of h ) 3 Bill until the 24 ih of March , pledging himself that within ten

      days before that day he would state to the Nobie i Lori whether he w .-uld or not , under the circum- 1 Stances which might arise , press the second reading [ npon that dav . | Mr . GorLBCB ?? observed , in reference to the Post- i office revenue , that tbe amount paid into the Ex- ! cneq-rsr during tie past year was stated to be ' £ 447 000 , thus showing a deficiency of £ 1 , 200 , 000 . ' He wished to know whether the revenue arising : from official correspondence , which w& 3 paid by a j vote of the House , amounting to abont £ 200 , 0 0 0 pe r I annum , was or was not included in the sum of I £ 447 . 000 , a ?; d also whether the balances in the i bands of the collectors were not included , which balances being , he believed about £ 200 , 000 more , ; would , in fact , show a total loss of the Posc-ofiiee ' revecae , wi ; h the exception of pome £ 40 . 0 C 0 or £ 50 , 000 . ' *

      Th « CHA . xcELi . oa of tbe Exchjcqueb ? ai ^ , that the Right Hon . Gentleman was correct in supposing ; ibat tbe ofBcial correspondence rercaue was includ- ( ed , as it aivvays had been , in the return of monies \ paid into the Exchequer ; but he was wroDg in ihe . amoact , as , instead of £ 200 , 000 , it was only about , £ 70 , 0 , 0 . With re-pect to the balances in ire haneu 1 of coliecwrs , ia coustqaence of recent arrangements ' I 63 paetLn 2 money-ordersj it cad become necessaj-v J to allow larger balances than heretofore to reaaSn ; in their possession . >

      Tae House then re ? olved itself into a committee of : supply , and Mr . OTeriuxl brought forward ihe navy estimates . He stated , that the number of sbips of all kinds employed last year was 239 , and tk&t the number employed on the 1 st of January this year , w » 3 242 . This gave only a numerical increase of 3 ; bnt tLere was a great increase in the strength of th 8 vessels , requiring a corresponding increase in the number of men . He . therefore , proposed to increase the number from 37 , 165 , the dbxd- j ber ks ; year , to 43 , 000 ; and the increased amount of mosey it would be necessary to vote he estimated at about £ 766 , 000 . Ihe Ri ^ to Hon . Gentleman j eonciuded by moving that a sum of £ 29 , 694 be I granted to make up the deficiency in tbe expend ! - ' ttire of the navy np to ilarch , 1840 .

      Sir G . ULEaK . condemned ihe practice of asking j Parliament fora sum of money insufficient to main- j tain ths eScacy of the navy , and be consequently obliged to come to Parliaiasat to make good ahe de- ficie ^ cies of former years . Lord J . Rcssox replied that tbe number of resgels coming home at the tima the estimatea were asked for , rendered it unnecessary , in the opinion of the Government , to ask for an increased estimate , as It was probable that some of them would be put oat of commission . Mr . Hxtmk thought the conrse pursued by the GoTernineni , in their negotiations respecting Turkey , was calculated to weaken that country , and to disturb the peace of Europe .

      After some conversation the vote was agreed to . On the next vote bsing proposed , Sir R . Pto . wished to know whether , when it was said by ths GoTeraaient that the -eastern qnestion was settled , it was merely meant that there was an absolute impossibility that Menemet All should again obtain possession of Syria , —or whether , a ? he Hoped was the eat ^ e , that too question was so settled as regarded France , that there was no reason to apprehend an } farther misunderstanding spon tie subject 1 Lord Pathbestoh replied that if the Right Hon .

      Baronet meant to ask him what was the £ ta : e of the relations between . France and England , he would say that he did not see anything connected with those matters , or likely to arise out of them , which in his opinion could tend to interrupt the good underBtaadiBg between tbe two countries . On tae vote for 43 , 000 men for the ensuing year , Mr . Huxs objected , and said , if 35 , 000 . men trere sufficient to accomplish all that h&d been recently accomplished , he could not see the necessity of increasing the naval force to the extent of 43 3 00 u den .

      Lord Pxlkkestos said that when other naval powers were increasing their saral armaments , it TFoald scarcely be prudent for thi 3 country not to place her naval fcrce upon an efficient footing also . Mr . Hvms thought £ ngland should set the exam plfi ol reduction . It appeared as if England , having « 8 insulted Franee , the only power with which

      she was on bad terms , was now disposed to defy her . The rote tor 43 , 000 men was then agreed to . The Honse , after agreeing to Borne other Totes in committee , resumed , and the report was brought up . The other orders of the day were then disposed of , and the House ad joumed .

      Tuesday , March 2 . Mr . Easthope gave 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 the appointment of a Committee to inquire into the . duties 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 nomidste deputies to perform the laborious duties of tbe County Courts of Scotland . After seme discussion , the motion was negatived by a majority of 88 to 37 .

      Mr . Colqchodn moved for leave to bring in a Bill to alter and amend the Acts of the Irish Parliament relating to the College of Maynooth . His object was not by this Bill to pat an end to the grant to Maynooth , for that would be a subject of future consideration , bat to put an end to the sanction given to it by Government , by the system of visitation , &c , which was laid down by law , but which was no longer acted npon . After some angry discussion , leave was given to bring in the Bill The House soon after adjourned .

      ( Reported by our London Correspondeat . J On Monday , the friends of Mr . Vincent , and of the cause for which he has suffered long and most oppressive incarceration , g * re a dinner on the occasion of his release , at the White Conduit House , London , for the purpose of awarding their congratulation , and publicly expressing their sense of the great services ha 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 tbe rush to obtain seats had somewhat subsided , that the ample dimensions of that noble room were insufficient for the accommodation of tbe unexpected number ti at presented themselves , and tables were accordingly spread in another apartment .

      Tbe time appointed was four o ' c ' ock , but it was nearly five before tbe arrangements were complete , when the cheers -which burst forth at the end of the roo m , and which in an instant became general , announced tbe approach of the guest of the evening . The band , stationed in the ausic gallery , joined in the greeting thus w * mily bestowed ; and Mr . Yincent passed through the company asd tool : his seat st tbe cross-table , on the right of Mr . Lovett , who occupied the ckair . The company , at thh period , presented a goodly sbo- « r of highly respectable per&ons , amounting in number to about five hundred , among whom -were

      many elegantly attired females ; and the Rev . Dr . Wade naving pronounced " Grace , " an excellent dinner was discussed , with seeniiDgly high relish , by all pre » sent Tke prevailing taste , however , appeared to be teetotaliBm , for water only w&s drunk by tbe greater number ; and , ce r ta i nly , 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 thron ^ hont the -whole of the proceedings oa this occasion , with the disjraceful upri ax , and miserable squabbling , for which the great Whig aad Tory meetings are invariably disting u is hed .

      After tbe removal of the cloth , the drop-scene of the raised stage , to tbe base of which the tables exceeded , wi 3 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 , asd gave a picturesque and imposing tfiect to the entire scene . The Chairman , in rising to propose the first toast , said they 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 o n e s cap ing a prison death- ( Cheers . ) Vincent had suffered two trials : he had been imprisoned twenty mouths ; yet he was before the assembled Chartuts cf London t j tell them that he ^ stood btfore them tbe same man—the same determined advocate of the People ' s da r ter , -which -would alike protect tbe interests of all , an'l secure \ Le happiness of the people awn ths only

      solid basis . He came btfore them to shew that the punishment of the body did not establish the conviction of tbe mind . iCbters . ) If the enemies of Uie CuaTter wlihed to convert the Chartists , they must first convince , ilan , however , would not , be man , if he did not sometimes err ; and thus some , cost up to the neck in poverty , have suffered their misery to lead them into acts -which have unhappily retarded the c&u&e they were tiesiroos of promoting . ( Hear . ) lie Would iinplere of all to avoid soy abatement of the principles of the Chait ^ r ; let them pursue tltir course with determination , but let them shew to the world that they were of opinion that their great cause was best served by sober , te m pe r ate , and prudent conduct—• cheers , ;—and s « prove that democracy was as beneficial in practice as it was just in theory . ( Hear . ) Even the middle classes , if ttey taw their own best course , . ought to juiu with them , for the present system was annually wasting their capital , and eventually must rtduce them to the leve ! of the

      labourer . They ought to join the Chartists against the common enemy . The great danger lay iu delay , and he trusted they would scon see their folly and join U > em , in order to secure tbe peace , the happine&s , and the prosperity of the country . With these prefatory remarks , he begged leave to propose the toast— " Ths People , and may they speedily obtain their political rights . " The toast -was drank -with loud cheering . Tie CHAIEMA 5 said the next toast -was— " Henry Tincent , the eloquent advocate of the people ' s rights ; health and prosperity to him . " It -was unnecessary for him te say a word in favour of that toast . The toast was drunk enthusiastically , -with three times three .

      3 Ir . Vincent said it certainly gave him much pleasure to see so many of his fnends after an imprisenment of twenty moaths , a n d he w a s ha ppy to sa y in t h e b est possible health and the highest Bpirits—( cheers )—and with increased love for their glorious cause , and he be ? ged to thank teem most warmly for the cordialthtj Radical reception they had given kim . He diu not look 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 lor , and which he stood before them to advocate . It had been his fortune or mUforttine to take part with his fellow-workmen daring a f earful agitation for the accomplishment of their political liberty , and in his advocacy he had fallen into a scare which had been purposely laid for

      him by the aristocrats who misruled the « ountry , with ¦ the yietr of stopping him from advocating those priu-! =. ples vrnich were embodied in the People's Charter , but | he pledged himself they hid totaUy deceived themi jselves . He had been placed at the bar at Monmouthi brought before a Jury , bnt not a Jary of his Peers , as ; in the case of Cardigan the other day—he was not tried ! by a Jury of working men , but a Jury of men whose | prejudices had been excited by the paltering and insidi-; OD 5 statements -which had been constantly appearing iu | both "Whig and Tory newspapers ; they found him j guilty upon garbled evidence , and sent him to the county gaol . He "was not before them to wail over his ' snfisriDgs like a pulisg child ,- ha was not about to tell : tb . * m of the soar skilly and the stinking bread , for

      tbsnks to a good constitution hs bad kept his word in ouViiving bis persecutions and laughing at his persecutors ; but he would just tell them one or two anecdotes of tte manner in which the humane p . irson of the prison attempted to break ins heart He was told that the Chartists theu in that prison , -would be hung by six at a tima ; Li > ud cries of " shame . " ) They were told that the gaol was too fall , and be , and Edwards , and Dickenson were put in the condemned cells . This -was roo good for the parson—he was afraid they niight not fcBcrw it , and tie asked them if they knew where they ¦ were ? They replied , " yes , they were in the rooms from ¦ which p ^ Mons w ere taken to be bung . " ( Shame . ) From these cells they were tat en in order to make room for John Frost aad his companions after their Illegal trial Well ,

      after having been in gaol for twelve months , he wa 3 tried again for an offence alleged to have been committed previous lo the one for which he was suffering , in the same county—they expected to have Bben him broken in spirit , weak in body , and pale in the face ; but , on the contrary , they found him courageous , hale , and hearty ; he was , however , again found guilty , and further imprisoned , a tiling almost unprecedented , in consequence of the agitawd 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 wide , where they attempted to teach him the delicate art of tailoring . ( Laughter . ) He had only been there two months -when he was remeved to Oakham , where he was allowed the liberty of purchasing his own foed , and again he lived like a Christian . Now , what was the result of &U this J He went to prison a democrat —he stood there the same man : and if he >""* not been

      active in London since his releaie , it was not owing to his having become lukewarm in the cause , but because he though * he was entitled to &t least a few weeks ' relaxation , after an imprisonment of twenty months . However , he was again before them , to v indicate the ri ght of the working classes to be repreBentfd in the House of Commons . That was the cause of their meeting ; fur he would hold any one in political contempt who coald forget that great principle out of oompairrent to hunself . He contended that every man should have a share in making tbe laws be -Was called upon lo obey ; that 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 vrho -would compromise any one of the five great principles it contained . After going at considerable length into the five great points of the Charter , the speaker denied that ce had ever been a " pike and dagger" man ; he bad always been prepared to go along with fche people in .

      any coarse they thought It proper to adopt , but he had always been of opinion , and had always advocated , tint no ether means should be used than peaceful ones . They would never ocfata their end union they became « sober and a moral people . Let them attend to their domestic duties—let them look to their own families , forsake the gin palaoe , and « o shew tbe aristocracy that they were a people worthy to be entrusted with tbe power they claimed . If they did not—if they continued to frequent the beer-shop and the publicbouae * they would be unworthy of the privilege * they sought . If they were a s » ulleaa people , they niight dethrone tbe royal family , and outlaw the House of Lords ; but they would fall back again Into tbe condition of miserable and degraded slaves .

      and , in tbe language of St . Paul > " the last » tate of that people would be worse than the first . " He was thereto pledge himself , with all theard » urof youthful enthusiasm , to a renewed advocacy of the People * Charter . ( Loud and prolonged cheers . ) In bis boyhood te had been a democrat , and these principles bad grown with bis growth ; beside the printing press he had read the writings « f Paine , and Yolney , and Cobbett , and Franklin ; he becamo an enthusiast in the cause of liberty , and he thought In tbe depth of his enthaaiasm , that everybody else was like Mm , and that the people would soon be free . " ( Cheers . ) After having been confined twenty months in a prison , whose yard be 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 as much further as the strength of the public mind will carry it . ( Hear , hear . ) Now , ( said Mr . Vincent , ) a word as to the mes « s : —tbe days of idle bombast and rant ore gone by ; the common sense of the nation is with us ; and every attempt at mere fully will recoil on our own heads . If we content ourselves with attending public meetings , and returning with congratulations on haying beard " excellent speeches ., "—if we talk about ou * readiness to < lo anything for the public cause , and yet aro offended if a sixpence in the shape of contribution be required of us ; —then , the sooner we abandon our false position , the better for ourselves and others;—but , even in this room there are a sufficient number , if their

      energies be rig ' uty directed , to effect a moral and political revi . iuion in London in two or three years . The most culighU'i'td minds and the most virtuous hearts must combinu in one large society for the erection of a Trades' Hall , and for sending forth missionaries to call the drunkard from the gia-palaoe ( loud cheers)—to point to the your brukea-htarted and wretched being -who , while her husband is on his way to the pawnbrokers , to pawn her rags for drink , is starving with htr family , porhapa , in a miserable cellar . I a such ageing -worthy the name of man ? ( Cries of " No , no . 'f ^ Then we must refoj-m him ; and if it be not possible to reform him by any other mums , I implore even the moat jovial soul among you to lend a helping hand iu tlid establishment uf

      democratic tettotal societies , ia soberising the population , in -watching indiviciala , and in putting down the cant and hunibugof ths fanatics . ( Hear , heai-. j We have the power of quietly revolutionising our couutry , if -we will but exercise that power in a proper manner ; our salvation lies iu » ur own bands , and if we are determined to free our couutry , as i for one am , let us battle with every slave till we have achieved our object . ( Great excitement and prolonged caeeriug . j Jly heart ia with you—my soul is with you—and I never felt more determined to go forward in a righteous causa I am bound to " keep the peace , " and 1 will keep it , like an honest man ; but , by ths God that made

      me , I will devote every energy to spread those principles that shall prepare the way for the greatest measure of happiness to tfce entire people . Lot not m en say , " I am for Paul , " ana " I am for Cephas , "say not I am for Lovett , and I for Frost , or Vincent , or O'Connor—but let the cry of all be , " I am for the Charte r" —iloud cheers)—and so improve the public mind that before anutb . br annual revolution bo completed , the watchword will 6 e " Lohg live the people to mako good laws ; long live liberty ! " ( Tumultuous cheering , lattiiig for several minutes , greuted Mr . Vincent ai the conclusion , as at the commencement of his addrtss . )

      Mr . John Cleave rose to propose the next toast : — " Tht ) People's Charter ; n ; ay it speedily become the law of the land . " He felt , in pioposiug this toast , that he hod a sacred dut j to perform , as an unenfranchised citizen ; and , notwithstanding all that their fritnd Vincent had eo vrtll « aid about hid ardour and entbusiaun being undiniinishwl , those who have gone a little before him might be permitted aiso to renew their declarations of energy in the cause of the People ' s Chatter . Mr . Vincent bad Vt-ry ably guue over tbe various principks embodied in tbe Charter , and though he was eloquent throughout , he foil perhaps that he was a iittle trespassing ; though at ihe same time he felt tLat be was here unfairly put upoa his trial , in rebutting the various caliuunUs that some dirty ,

      sneaking cowards , who dartd not spoak openly , hud whispered about , that Vincent had abandoned his ptincipiea . ( Loud cheers . I But he had not stopped to snarl with tbe Baarkrs ; he took up these priuciples , and showed ttut he vsas the same Ch : irf . sl at heart as before hv entered tfce WJiig tiUUgtOuK . Mr . Cleave thfen proceeded to » tato tuat the means of advancing the cum of tiit .- Charter inu * t not be negected ; he ha . d coiiaidi red these means , and hod come to the conclusion that it -Was folly to fritter away the m > ans winch a life of industry supplied , while fifty millions a year continued to be spent in spirits an ^ be < . r ; t&o man who had not stain

      his sins was a lit creature for Whig or lory despotism . ( Loud cheers , i Referring to the address of Mr . Vinceiit , ( as originally puVibhed in the S t ar , ) the speaker Slid that if the working men of this country -would act up to the spirit of tbut address , and devote that which they now spent in intoxicating drinks to their own self-elevation , the hu m bug of " moderation" would be slain outright , and ue total ism would be teetotaliy triumphant In conclusion , he urged upon all the friends of the Charter to give up tbe 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 ought to da vote- to the regeneration of hia cauntry .

      Mr . Mc 9 ns said , it was his melancholy duty , m the toait be had to propose , to refer to friends who were not there , but whose zeal for I ho cause of Chartism had maue thtm the victims of oppression , aud he trusted that equal zeal would be manifested in their endeavours to place those friends again amoDgtst them . Ho alluded , among others , to tbe venerated and aged Frost , who wus the viciim of an illegal sentence ; aud they would ncoliect that , their friend Heiheringcori was detained over the water for an eff .-nce againot church craft . He would then propose ,

      " The speedy return of Frost , Williams , and Jor . ts , aud the liberation oi 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 had been consigned by the machinations of Whig and Tory , whose votes never iailed to be blendeu togetber agaui « t those who advocated the caui » e of the people . Bat , he repeated , they had betn iliagaily transported . Tn * quibbles of iaw , so successfully urged in ihe receut c ^ e of oue wno was distinguished by the prefix of ' Lord' to his name , were not allowed to be entertained iu favour of the unfortunate men in question . The same measure of

      justice was not extendtd to them ; for he did not tieny tbe justice of Lord Cardigan ' s acquittal ; the law of evidence ought , iu ail cases , lo be strictly enforced , not only with rtspect to identity of persons , but every particular puiuc which has been subjected to legal regulation . The accused ought to have the lull beuen ; of buch law , then why was u withheld from Frost aud his companions 1 Their case was ciiniiar to thai of Lord Cardigan . An exception was made oa a point of law by their counsel , and the Judges said they would reserve the objection ; and when counsel asked if they should stand in the s&iae situation < ts > if the objection was taken , then the Judges acquiesced ; and , on the afterconsideration of the question at issue , nine out of

      fifteen Judges vvere oi opinion that the objection in favour of the prisoners was valid ; and when tbe next obstacle was raised—wiiea it was urged on the part of iho pro ^ ecutioK that the objection had not been made iu time , and that therefore the prisoners were not entitled to bv . ueiit by it , six of the Judges were of opiuiou thai it was made iu time . ( Hear . ) But tke facs was , in cases of murder such pleaa might be admitted ; but , if the fate of a political opponent wtre inw ' md , he was deprived oi everything that might save him . He would remind them , too , that the aged mother of Frost waa yet living ,

      in the hope that she might once more look upon her child ere Bbe died ; and the wives , children , friends , all who were iu any way connected with those UBhsppy exiles , aud thousands who were not , would join in workiiig out their deliverance . They ( the meeting ) would also recollect , that FroBt was of a class above them , but that he had given up all for the prosecution of their cause . Mr . Moore concluded by strongly reprehending such prosecutions as thai instituted against Mr . Hetherington , and expressing a fervent hope that Frost , WilliaTus , and Joned might be once more among them . ( Prolonged cheering . )

      Air . Peat , in supporting the toast , observed , that Frost was , in every respect . an upright man , and the poor man's friend ; and it one mau was aware of those facts more than another , it waa their little enthusiastic friend Viocent . But Frost was in a penal settlement , while Lord Ca&digan was pro * Bounced "Not guilty , upon my honour . " Away with Bueh honour—the honour of these king-made cobles ; but Frost was a noble of nature , and carried with him into exile the impress of superiority . ( Applause . ) It had beeu said that the case of Frost

      and that of Lord Cardigan were parallel cases : he was not of that opinion ; he thought ( hem widely different . In Lord Cardigan ' s case , a foul design was manifested ; a de&igu upon the life of & fellowcreature ; need he tell them , that in the case o Frost nothing of the kind was exhibited . The wrongs that had been inflicted upon the people—the insults that had been heaped upon them by refusing their petitions ; these working upon minds not so intelligent as they ought to be , had induced tbe commission of acts whicfi were deeply to be regretted

He trusted the ; woold never cease from their exertioruu nntil placed in tbe position which they were entitled to by the laws of God and the laws of reason . The toast was then put from the ohair , and received with , general applause . Mr .

      "Theladies who have honoured us with their presence . Ah they are alike interested with as 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 to them ) on a particular o-jcasion , received an . order from the Court of Queen ' s Bench to appear , as he understood it , peraoBaUy before the Queen ; but they would anticipate what his feelings were when he found it was all a hoax . —( Laughter . ) The first office of the Sfate was now filled by a woman , aud one , too , not of the greatest experience ;

      but they must support the dignity of their chief 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 thm it would be hotter that the opinion of the Turks , who held that women have no souls , should obtain iu this country , than that they should remain as they were ; but he trusted that tuo time was not far distant when education would render them better wives , better mothers , and place them in that station in society , to which they were eo nobly entitled ; he trusted that the time was not far distant when ignorance would be swept from the gentler sex like chatf 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 aa kings , priests , and lords , must give way to the growing intelligence of the people . ( Applause . ) He hoped , too , that the time was not distant when meetings of this sort would Be crowded with women . He again emphatically dwelt on the necessity of enuobhug the female aud raising her from the station of a mere domestic menial , by education , but he adviacd them to educate their daughters themselves , and not hand them over to church and state schools . Let their education be duly attended to , and women and children would soon join the cry for Universal Suffrage .

      The Rsv . Dr .. Wade said , he perfectly agreed with the sentiments expressed by Mr . NeesOQi , With respect to the ladies ; but , as to the Sovereign , he rather pitied her , as she evinced the possession of qualities which only required a more genial atmosphere th&u a court . He was , in hiB youth , entrusted with a petition to William the Fourth . He was sent up with it , and he 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 i" in a tone and manner not at all flattering to hia feelings . The Queen had acted very differently . He had also been entrusted with a petition to her Majesty , on behalf of Frost .

      Williams , and Jones , wnich he happened to take for presentation , on a day especially appointed for the reception of addresses only ; and her amiable conduct oa that occasion , and the manner in which she expressed herself , even in the presence of her courtiers , waa such as convinced hisa that , if any fault were to be ascribed to her , it was imputable to a corrupt Court , and not to the natural uisposition or inclination of the Queen . He went , as he said , on a day exclusively appointed for addresses , and was told that his petuiou would nov be received ; but ho told those who endeavoured thus to put him off , that he had a duty to perform for those who had seat him , and that he should persist in his purpose . He did so , and her Majesty eventually received his

      petition in a most gracious manner , lie adverted to the bright prospects which awaited us Chariists , " and F | aid , ho was what was termed a middle-class man ; and , aided by them , he could do much ; but consistently with his cloth , he must press for the employment , of moral force only . Ho agreed with the sentiments uttered by Mr . Vincent , and contended that no one need bo ashamed of being a Chartist . In this ago of inventions , nothing had been found out at all comparable with Chartism ; it meant a reformation of the democracy . They hai formerly a Magna Chavta ; that was for the nobles ; but they resolved now to have a Reform Charter . Taey had obtained a Reform Bill , but that was a humbug . Those who carried it hallooed ou the people , as huntsmen do th « ir hounds ; but they ( ihe huntsmen ) took the hare , and then lashed back the hounds

      that hud aided them to their kennels . ( Applause . ) But would they be suffered to do so now ? Would such treatment now ba tolerated ! No . The Charter they sought for was such as every Christian should advocate ; it involved what every Christian should strive to obtain for his country—equal rights , and equal laws . He would pay to them , as Washington said to the Americans , when they were trying their great Chartist plan—be discreet , be moral , and show that you are worthy of the boon you a ? k for . This country was in a state of transition—things could no longer stand still . The Poor Laws must be amended , and measures adopted which would render the people free and happy . He , for one , should make every possible effort to promote tho advancement and eventual success of tlie cause in -which they were all embarked . ( Loud cheers . )

      The toast was theD formally submitted by the Chairman , and drunk with three times three . Mr . Cameron 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 hope that the rights and dignity of woman would , ere'long , be more generally acknowledged . The Chairman now intimated , that the graver portion of the business of tbe eveuing waa at an end , and that the remainder of the time they were together would be devoted to dance and song . He then quitted the chair , when

      Mr . Vincent rose , and , after apologising for again presenting himself to the meeting , Baid his purpose was to propose the health of the consistent and lungtried Radical who had bo ably occupied the chair that evening—he meant their modest and amiable friend , William Lovett Ho ( the speaker ) had known him during a period of four years i ha had been much with him , at his own home , and in walks In the green nelde , and it -vraa l > y that sort of communion only thnt a man could be truly known . Throughout this intimacy , he had ever found William Lovett the most consistent and determined supporter of Democracy in all its bearings . He bad suffered much from imprisonment and persecution in consequence , but it would be insulting to moat present , -who bati known him for a much longer time , to say more than to propose tho health of their worthy friend , William Lovott Drunk with great enthusiasm .

      Mr . Lovett , in shortly acknowledging the toast , observed , that although the excitement ef a public meeting was painfully unpleasant to him , he had unwillingly acceded to the request of his 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 addresaed them . Under each plate was placed a copy of the address , ¦ written by Mr . Vincent , in Oakham Gaol , with the name * of the Kev . Mr . Hill and others , attached thereto ; this furnished a "luncheon" for the assembly , for the address was eagerl y "devoured . " An excellent band was ia attendance tho wnole evening , and enlivened tbe proceedings with popular airs .

The authorities at the " Union" told the officers to take tbe poor sufferers to the " straw-yard , " * place unknown to the law , and one to which Mr . Harvey has resolved no policeman shall ever conduct the houseless poor under his management . The officers of this union actually muffled the bell , to prevent the poor creatures who bought reliel from annoying them , during the late severe weather ; the case was far different in the East London Union , the relieving officer of which ( Roberts ) ia justly entitled to great credit for the humane and indefatigable manner in which he has administered to the necessities of oil who have come under his cognizance .

      The " City" News . —The Money Market this week has been very much straitened , and considerable temporary pressure is 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 the " 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 is a favourable sympttm . While the rate of discount is upwards of five . per cent ., the value of money on

      change has not exceeded turee and a hair or four percent , for loans upon stock or Exchequer Bills , thus affording a curious eentrast between the two markets . There is very little stock at present in the hands of jobbers , so that speculators can produce but a momentary effeot upon quotations . The following are the closing prices of to day : —ThreepetCent . Reduoed , 83 J ; Three per Cent .

      The Poob Law Commission Continuance Bin . —Scarcely an independent provincial journal of th « past week an be found that has not one , two , or more 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 by whom it was thrust upon the country may speedily bo " kicked out of tbe station whicu they so unworthily occupy . ' * Hue result of the debate on Lord Morpeth ' s Bill was , we understand , looked anxiously for at Paris , as it involves , according to the French 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 be telegraphed from Calais .

      FROM THE LONDON PAPERS OF FRIDAY . HOUSE OF LORDS . 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 Edgecuhbe put some qvieatioHS on the subject of Mr . Snow Harris , and his plan for applying lightning conductors to tho vessels of her Majesty ' s navy . The Earl of Minto stated that the Admiralty had written to Mr . Harri 3 , admitting his title to compensation for tho time which he had devoted to tho subject , and for calling the attention of the Admiralty to the practicability of applying a well-known principle to so important an end . The Admiralty , however , had added , that the sum demanded by Mr . Harris was unapproachable , aud 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 tho Governor Fenner , by which upwards 120 lives had been l # 6 t , and asked whether it Was iruc-nded to bring forward any measure to prevent similar misfortunes hereafter . Mr . LABOuciir . RK said that the authorities most competent to judge had been consulted , and the result was a belief that it would uot be adviseable to apply the rule of the road to the sea , as respected the management of steamers . The debate on the Parliamentary Voters ( Ireland ) Bill was then resumed by Mr . J . M . Gaskell , who said lie thought the simple fact oi' Mr . Shell ' s rising to address the House from the Treasury bench , was a sufficient justification for Lord Stanley and Sir James Graham in abandoning the present administration .

      Mr . V . Stuart contended that there was nothing in the present measure inconsistent with the Reform

      Bill . Col . Conom-y would resist strongly & 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 vanished as the people oecame better acquainted with its provisions . Mr . Lascelles opposed the second reading of the Bill . Mr . Gi 8 Borne supported the second reading . Mr . Gholmondeley opposed the Uill , and deprecated tho 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 their weak point if this Bill were not passed .

      Mr . M . J . O'CoNNELL supported , and Mr . E . Tjjn . veat opposed the JiiJJ . 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 , f or which reasons he wonid vote against its second reading . Mr . O'CoNNELLsaid that the existence of 4 , 000 , OQ # of paupers in Ireland was of itself a sufficient anBwer to all that had been ever said in praise ot Irish landlords . As to tho Bill before the House , and that of the Noble Lord ( Stanley ) the people perfectly well understood tho 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 they would not feel deep dissatisfaction and discontent ? The Hon . and Learned Gentlenmu alluded to the disiranohisement of the forty-shilling freekolders , and said it was never thought that they ought to be disfranchised until they be ^ au to act independently of their landlords . ( Hear . ) Tho Hon . and Learned Geutiemau tUen proceeded to show that though the noble lord repudiated population as a basis of the franchise in Ireland , ho had adopted it in the Reform Bill for England , by which an iucreased number of representatives was given to thoBe counties possessing the largest amount of population . In Ireland ' the franchise was going out—it was dyin ; j away—the landlords were extuiguifrhin ^ it , and he thanked the noble lord for rousing tho people of Ireland to their danger , and giving them a timely summons to the field . The Hon . Member concluded by calling upon the House to pass the Bill .

      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'Conneil . 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 perfectly new one upon ita ruins . The Right Honourable Baronet then proceeded to quote from the evidence of Mr . O'Ctmnell before the Lords' Committee , with a view to shew that it was the evidence of th » Catholics themselves which had sacrificed the 40 a . freeholders , Mr . O'Connell himeelf having described them as the live stock of an estate . The Right Hon . Baronet , before sitting down called upon the Noble Lord ( J . Russell ) to declare if

      this principle of franchise was to be applied to England , for nothing could be so injurious as to establish this precedent without making a public declaration that it waa not to be considered or acted upon as a precedent for England . Lord John Russell said that with respect to extending a similar franchise to England , he must say that the cases were yerj different , and that of Ireland was go very peculiar , that he could scarcely conceive a possibility of a case equally peculiar and equally Btringent being ever made out either for England or Scotland , ., At tho close of the Noble Lord ' s speech the House divided , and the numbers were —• For the second reading ......... 299 Against it . 284 Majority .. ——5 Bill to be committed pro forma on Monday .

London Wool Market , Monday , March 1 st . — Since oar report of this day ea'unight , there has been a trifling reaction in the inquiry for most kinds of British Wools , and previous rates are well supported . The accounts from our manufacturing districts are , on the whole , favourable . During the past week the imports of Foreign Wools , from all quarters , have not exceeded 18 U 0 packages .

      Liverpool Corn Market , Monday , Mahch l . ~ With ; a change of wiud we have had increased arrivals fr « m Ireland during the last two or three days .

The receipts coastwise haveJbeen small , and we have nor had any arrivals of either Grain or Flour from abroad . Since this day so ' nnight , there has beeu a moderate demand for Wheat for consumption , and our last quotations for free foreign have been very fully maintained The increased supplies of Wheat and Oats from Ireland already noticed , have rendered purchases of both rather easier to efiect . At Friday ' s market , some middling qualities of Wheat were offering Id

      to 2 d per bushel cheaper , and some very choice mealing Oats were sold a trifle under 3 s 3 d per 45 lbs . Oatmeal was held at full prices , bui didnot meet a free sale ; 27 s 6 d to 28 i per 240 lbs . may be considered fair quotations for Irish manufacture . Flour has been in tolerably fair request ; United States duty paid at Ms to 37 s ; Canadian at 363 to 36 s 6 d per barrel ; Eiiglish superfine at 50 s to 53 s ; Irish at 44 s to 60 s per sack . Upon a small Bupplvj malting Barley has sustained the rates of last week . No change in the value of Beans or Peas , bat the latter have met rather more inquiry . 25 s 6 d to 263 per barrel has been paid for two or three thousand barrels United States Flour in bond , and there ia none now offering under the latter price , at which , however , buyers hesitate .

The weather has beeu favourable during the past week for field work . Much of the English Wheat offering this moruiug being in poor condition caused a slow sale , and for such , lower prices were taken , in some instances the decline was Is to 2 s per qr , whilst the few dry samples at

      market were taken at last week ' s currency , and for all descriptions of foreign there was a fair steady demand at about the rates of this day se ' anight . > lour was without any material variation in , value > ^ , ° marks ex ship meesiDg a moderate inquiry .

Although the supply of malt has bean very iar ^ e since this « ay so ' nnight , yet most of it having goue direct into tke hands of the great brewers , the trade was not materially affected therewith , and good qualities brought full aB much money .
