TJXDER ROYAL PATRONAGE . PERFECT FREEDOM FROM COUGH , la Ten Minutes after use , and a rapid Cure of Asthma and Consumption , and all Disorders of the Breath and Lungs , is insured by DR . LOCOCK'S PULMONIC WAFERS . The truly wonderful powers of this remedy have called forth testimonials from aU ranks of society , in aR quarters of the world . The following bave been just received : — Important Testimonial from tlie Rev . Owen Thomas , Holyhead . Deab Sib , —Dr . Locock ' s Wafers do a great deal of good to niy voice . I got a bad cold from a damp bed about ^ uriy-fije years ago , and my voice had been very bad ever since , giving great pain to me when preaching or singingand I am very fond of singing . I used many different medicines , and some of them did good for a little time , but Br . Locock ' s is the best of all—it clears my voice , and stops ihe coughing instantly . I have never found anything yet to compare with it 1 have been thirty-three years a Wesleyan minister , and aU tlie Wesleyan Methodists in the principality know me ; twenty years of which I have Uved at Holyhead , and I am known personallv to all the first men of that body , many of whom have admired the effects ofthe Wafers in clearing the voice and stopping the cough —they never got such mediciue before . Mv wife , ever since Christmas , has been very well after taking two boxes . I am a witness of their power to stop a frightful fit of coughing in an instant . I , as a Wesleyan preacher , call upon all preachers and singers of every denomination to take these wafers for improving the voice and curing coughs . ITou may publish my testimonial for the excellent Wafers if yon wish . —I am , yours truly . Owes Thomas . — October 9 th , 1847 . ANOTHER RAPID CURE OF FOURTEEN TEARS * ASTHMA . From Mr . J . E . BignelL Holyhead-road , Wednesbury , ad dressed to Mr . Ledburv , Surgeon , there : — Snt , —When I had the first Sox of Dr . locock ' s Wafers from you I was labouring under one of those attacks of asthma to which I have been subject now for about fourteen years . I have had the best medical ad vice the neighbourhood could afford , including two physicians at Birmingham , and one at Wolverhampton , but with no success My breathing was so very difficult that I expected every respiration to be my last ; as for sleep that was impossible and had been so for several weeks . The first dose ( only two smaU wafers ) gave me great relief ; the second more so ; in short , the first box laid the ground-work for the cure , -which only four boxes have effected , and I am now quite ¦ welL—I remain , sSr , your most ohuceo , J . E . Bignell . September Gth . 1847 . IMPORTANT TO ALL WHO SLKG . From & PearsaR , Esq ., Her Majesty ' s Concerts , and Vicar Choral of Lichfield Cathedral Gentlemen . — A lady of distinction having pointed om to me the qualities of Dr . Locock ' s Wafers , I was induced to make a trial of a box , and from this trial I am ' jappytogive my testimonial in their favour . I find by allowing a few ofthe wafers ( taken in the course of the day } to gradually dissolve in the mouth , my voice becomes fcright and clear , and the tone full and distinct . They are decidedly the most efficacious of any I have ever used . — Sajkxl Peamall . —Lichfield , July 10 th , 1845 . The particulars of many hundred cures mar be had from raj afi * nt throughout the Kingdom and « n the Continent Dr . Locock ' s Wafers give instant relief , and are a rapid cure of asthmas , consumption , colds , and aR disorders of the breath and lungs , ia To singers and public speakers they are invaluable , as in a few hours they remove all hoarseness and increase the powerand fiexibuity ofthe voice .

pHARTIST TRACTS U FOR THE TIMES . ON THE FIRST SATURDAY IN KARCH , 1649 , Will be published Number One of the above Tracts . THEV WILL BE CONDUCTED BY THE CHARTIST PRISONERS IN KIRKDALE GAOL , And are intended to form a text-book for the working classes , as to the various causes ivhich produce tlie social and political degradation of the people . Although numerous writers have essayed from time to time to sympathise with the sufferings , and expose the wrongs which are inflicted on the industrious classes , by the present unjust state of society , their works have contained so much pcurile cant , and mawkish sentimentality , and displayed such total ignorance of the real position of the parties whose cause they have undertaken to advocate , together with such an amount of misrepresentation as to their ' . feelings and wishes , which makes their works—no matter how well intended—bear a closer resemblance to romance , or pantomime , than a serious statement of grave facts in wliieh the interests of millions are concerned . We , therefore , a few working men—immured in a- dungeon for the part we have taken hi endeavouring to elevate our classhave resolved to speak for ourselves , iu our own mode , and endeavour to exliibit the hideous deformity of the present uiijuststateoftliingstoourfellow-workineii ; and , at the same time , enable the other classes of society to understand our real thoughts , wants , and feelings . In these Tracts the whole machinery of misgovermnent shall be laid bare , and the mode in which it operates on the social condition of our brethren—and we wish it to be understood that we shall not imitate the example of fashionable book-makers , by crowding our pages with quotations of Greek or Lathiour language shaU be plain , and e : isy to be understood . We shall give our views on tlie errors and follies of those p hilosophers who style themselves Political Economists , and lay bare tbe evils which attach to the present system of Laud Tenure , Popular Education , Emigration , Home Colonisation , Currency , Banking , Sanatory Reform , Enfranchisement of tlie People , History , and , also , the passing events ofthe day will be dealt with , in order to show up the utter rottenness of the present Plundering System . We therefore call upon our fellow workmen to aid us in bringing their views fairly before tlie public ; we shall bestow the leisure wliieli we now possess within the walls of a prison to tlie defence of their cause , and elucidation of sound principles of Justice between Man aud Mall .

My Friends , Again I thank you for having , according to your means , evinced your love of justice . There is nothing more common than to call all solicitors rogues , which , I suppose , leads to the belief that you despise one when you find Mm honest . If , however , the millions professing Chartist principles were as honest in the defence of those principles as I was in the defence of their advocate , Mr . Vebnox , the national disgrace of allowing one to suffer great pecuniary loss in the cause of millions would not be attached to the millions of Chartists , while such dishonest treatment scares thousands from the ranks , justly enough , not believing in their integrity . Believe me to be your faithful servant , J . E . Tfixoif .
Wicked Waste Of Wixes.—Por Some Days Pas...
Wicked Waste of Wixes . —Por some days past a number of officers in the Custom House have been engaged in spilling into the river very large quantities of unredeemed champagne , claret , hock , port , and sherry wines , with brandy and gin , for which prices have not been offered sufficient to pay duty and storage rent . In many cases the rent exceeded fourfold the first cost ofthe article . The bottles , casks , and cases are returned . —Cork Constitution . St . Luke ' s Hospital for Lunatics . —On Wednesday the annual general meeting of this institution was held in the George and Vulture Tavern , Cornhill . Henry F . Shaw Lefcvre , Esq ., in the chair . The secretary read the report , from which it appears that 325 persons have been under the medical care of the hospital during the year . Of these 106 were completely cured , and twenty-two relieved . The number of deaths which took ' place during the year
was . Flight op a Banker ' s Clerk to California . —It is with pain we have to notice the flight ofa young man nineteen years of age , teller in the Clydesdale Branch Bank in this place , who went off by railway on Friday week last , leaving his employer , his father , relations , and friends , in utter ignorance of his intentions . It is stated that he has abstracted £ 350 from the bank safe , of which he had charge . The bank agent , to the time of his exit , was highly satisfied with his conduct , and had lately offered him an advance of salary to £ 70 to continue m his employment . 3 for has any other charge of improper conduct been brought against him of any kind whatever . It is suspected that he and two other lads have had their imaginations so fired by what they have read about the treasures of California , that they have set off for that new El Dorado . —Fife Herald .
Charge op Perjury against the Marquis of Chaxdos . —A pending indictment against the Marquis of Chandos , for perjury , excited much interest in . the Queen's Bench . Nisi Prius Court , during Monday , Tuesday , and Wednesday , in last week , the days on which it was expected to he brought forward : the charge arose out of proceedings in Chancery connected with the pecuniary embarrassments ofthe Marquis ' s father , which lately ended in the sales at Stowe . " Interesting revelations" were anticipated , and the court was crowded by the curious . But , at the calling ofthe witnesses on Wednesday , the prosecutor ' s solicitor was not at his post— " he was gone for papers "—and , in his absence , the prosecuting barrister did not "feel justified" in opening the case . On Lord Denman ' s direction , the jury immediately returned a verdict of " Not guilty . " On this triumphant acquittal , the Marquis rose from his seat , shook hands with his three eminent counsel , and left the court .
Good News for the Juveniles . —Very large arrivals are taking place of sugar candy from the Dutch ports , the manufacture of Holland , and in consequence ofthe reduction of the duty on the article a very considerable quantity of it is cleared for home use . The steamer Camilla , just arrived from Ifeiu Diep , has brought the large quantity of 918 cases of the article , in addition to 222 barrels of crushed refined sugar , as a portion of her cargo , the produce of Holland .

Parliament And The People. Lord Bolingbr...
PARLIAMENT AND THE PEOPLE . Lord Bolingbroke has truly asserted , that " England would never he ruined except by her Parliament ; " and the acts of that Assemhly during the past week , go far to convince us that the realisation of the prediction is fast approaching . The Government of England relies not more upon its brute force than upon the antagonism of class interests , to . uphold and preserve that dangerous oligarchical ascendancy , against which the industrious classes have so long contended . But passing events prove that this undefined and injurious policy must end in so complete a centralisation of power in the hands of the fortunate and privileged few , as to excite the wrath and indignation of the unfortunate and outlawed many .
The policy of every Government , since the substitution of an artificial for a more natural state of society , has been to make the thing last their time , by feeding class upon class , the weakest and powerless being selected as the repast of tlie strong and powerful ; until at length the evil has gone to such an extent as to render the national store inadequate to satisfy the appetites of expectants . There is sometimes greater danger in silence than in the most violent language , and the total absence of appeals and petitions from the
people to the Commons House of Parliament is an ominous proof of the fact—that ' ' the people no longer rely upon those means for the redress of grievances . They have at length discovered , that while the discussion upon some private bill , introduced by speculating jobbers , wnleiisurealargemuster of membersthe Assembly being constituted of that classa proposition to violate the Constitution of England can command but a sorry muster , aud requires but the appeal ofthe Minister to insure the acquiescence of Parliament .
Tho English people have been systematically arrayed in dangerous and desperate hostility against their Irish brethren , for the mere purpose of weakening that democratic power , all resistance to which would have been otherwise ineffectual , until at length the people of both countries have discovered , that though different in blood , religion , and language , their interests are identical and inseparable . It is an undeniable fact that the tourist will
make himself better acquainted and more familiar with the institutions , the manners , and customs of those foreign countries which he may visit , than with the institutions , manners and customs of his own country ; and this truism equally applies to Parliament : as a question put to the Minister for Foreign Affairs , or to the Colonial Secretary , will excite more interest in the House of Commons , than any domestic question—nay , than even the destruction of the British Constitution .
Upon such occasions , gentlemen on both sides of the House appear to be familiar with , and interested in , all foreign and colonial questions while an appeal to a Minister as to the cause ofthe deaths of one hundred and fifty pauperchildren , of national suffering , and general want , is evasively met by a flippant official , and , however inconclusive the answer , it is sure to give general satisfaction . As Mr .
O'Conxok well observed in his speech upon the Suspension of tho Habeas Corpus Actthe discussion upon the Southampton Small Tenement Eating Bill insured a large attendance of Members , while that upon the destruction of the British Constitution was looked upon as a waste of time , as it interfered with the debate upon the Jewish- ' Disabilities Bill .
If a measure to remedy an English or an Irish grievance is submitted to Parliament , the Minister sees the impossibility of adopting it , lest it may interfere with the vested rights of some honourable gentleman upon whose support he depends . It then requires the nicest consideration of that House , the review of a Select Committee , and the re-consideration of its recommendation . The anticipation of dangerous results , which may be in the distant homon , but which canno t he immediately d
contemplate , are urged as good and sufficient grounds for its rejection or postponement , while there is no such difficult y—no such necessity for revision or re-consideration—no such remote contingency , or even possible danger , when the liberty of the subject is to be destroyed . This system forcibl y reminds US of the manner in which Martial Law was administered in Ireland in the year 1798 when tho commanding officer of a district decided that a culprit should be shot to-night , and tried by Court Martial to-morrow .
Can any developement of tyrannical practices be more revolting to the feelings ofa free-born C onstitution-loving Englishman than the revelations made by Mr . O'Cosnob , and not denied by the Home Secretary , as to the treatment to which the six gentlemen now confined as criminals in Kilmainham Gaol , under the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act , have been subjected by the High Sheriitf of Dublin , and , as admitted by Sir George Grey . with the entire concurrence of the Jailor-General of Ireland .
Patrick O'Higgins— than whom a more upright gentleman and sterling patriot does not breathe—is one of the remaining «« vic-
Parliament And The People. Lord Bolingbr...
tims under this tyrannical Act . No man went further to resist the evil teaching of the Irish mind and the prostration of Irish liberty , and in a perfectly constitutional way , than Patrick O'Higgixs ; and the reader will naturally conclude that these circumstances constitute his guilt . The effect of the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act will be to make every Protestant in Ireland a special constable , with license to without the
oppress his Catholic brethren power of complaint , as complaint would furnish the strongest proof of guilt . It will constitute every tyrant middleman one of the Executive Government , and prevent the possibility of the victim comp laining of any , the most unconstitutional or tyrannical assault , upon his rig hts or liberties ; and the result will be , that all fabricated representations made by interested desperadoes will supply irrefutable proof of ministerial sagacity and the Irish
gaoler ' s divination . But can we blame the Whig Government , or its supporters , for this liberty-slaying and tyrannical Act , when we find the liberty-professing Hume—one of the six who signed the PEOPLE'S CHARTER—and the freedomloving high-priest of Free Trade ( Colonel Thompson ) , not only voting for , but speaking in favour of the measure ? Save us from our friends , and we will defend ourselves against our enemies . But when the professed friends
of the people—enemies to Whiggery— -supporters of Free Trade—Financial Reformers —Liberals to the back-bone—quadrupeds , sexipedes , Chartists—and all but Republicans , owing their seats to the most liberal professions , based upon the assurance that they would resist every assault upon popular rights —how , we ask , can we censure the Whig Government , or their Tory supporters , when we find two such professors of Liberalism increasing the ranks of the Liberty-slaying faction ? We live in excited tunes . AU around us is
unsettled—all before us is in chaos ; and the most sagacious and far-seeing man cannot tell how soon those two liberty-professing gentlemen may stand before those popular and critical juries who will be called upon to decide as to their guilt or innocence—as to their faithful or faithless discharge of duty—as to their fitness for being again entrusted with the defence of their country's liberty . We cannot answer for the men of Montrose , but we will vouch for our brethren of Bradford . This vote will not bear justification , and we rejoice to find , that , while Cobden refrained from supporting the Whigs , Bkight voted against the measure .
There are not a few other liberty-professing gentlemen who will be called to account npon the day of reckoning ; but we have selected the most prominent Liberal agitators for comment , and with the people we leave the question of guilt or innocence . And again we say to the English people— " Follow the example of the people of St . Pancras : make England , now that the voice of Ireland is suppressed , the arena for discussing Irish and English grievances ; " as they may rely upon it , that the blow struck at Irish liberty will be followed by another at the little that still remains of English freedom .
Suspension Of The Habeas Corpus Act. Our...
SUSPENSION OF THE HABEAS CORPUS ACT . Our paper will be read by , and to , over six millions ofthe working classes of this country within a few hours after its publication ; and now that the struggle has commenced between the Democracy and the Whig Government and its supporters , wc invite the close attention of the working classes to the speech of Mr . O'Connok , which will bo found in our first page ; and < is ifc is tho custom of the people to have the most prominent part of the " Star "
read at their severalmectings , they will be able to judge of newspaper justice when they contrast the report of that speech as delivered , with the report in the " Times" newspaper . Up to the time that the honourable Member for Nottingham was reminded b y Sir Geokge Grey that ho had exceeded his hour , the " Times" devotes thirty-five lines to the speech , onJittle more than a line to every two minutes , while the reply of the official ( Sir G . Grey ) , which did not exceed two minutes , occupies fifty-four lines , or twenty-seven lines to the minute .
In order that the people may judge for themselves , as to the accuracy of newspaper reporting , we extract the "Times '" report , which will be found at tbe foot of Mr . 0 ' Connor's speech . We have laboured zealously and continuously to prove that the prostitution of the English Press is the greatest difficulty against which the English people have to contend ; and never was it more aptly illustrated
than in this instance . A member of the Government , or a partisan of the Government , delivers a rambling rigmarole of unconnected rubbish , it is received—or at all events reported —with " // eflrs , " and " cheersj" is pertinent , analytical , and to the point ; while that of an independent Member—which never strays from the subject under discussion , and is pertinent in every point—is discursive , rambling , and cannot be analysed .
AVhen the working classes read the speech of their Representative , they , as shrewd and discriminating men , will bo able to distinguish as to whether a single passage in that speech was foreign to the subject , and their English spirit will rise when they understand that the greatest bulwark ofthe English Constitution was destroyed upon no hotter grounds—or , rather , pretext—than the most flimsy , lame , weak , incoherent , discursive , inconclusive , and rambling speech—if speech it could be calledof the English Home Secretary . And when they read the debates , they will find that not
one single speech , with the exception of Mr . O'Connor ' s , was at all pertinent to the subject . One party launched into Protectionanother into Free Trade—another into Foreign Policy—anotherinto an attack upon the Prime Minister , upon the Appropriation Clause and the Arms Bill—another dilated upon agitation and its consequences—another indulged in an incongruous attack upon the policy of Ministers—another indulged in a modicum of remedial measures , to ensure the successful
working of which the suppz-ession of public opinion was necessary—and they were , one and all , connected , pertinent , coherent , analytical , and to the point . We ask , then , if the working classes of this country can require more positive and conclusive evidence ofthe position of an independent Member of Parliament , and the venality , prostitution , and corruption ofthe English Press ? But , though foreign to our subject , let us establish a proof upon a fact ,
We select the following passage from the " Dispatch" of last week , extracted from the " Cheltenham Journal . " Here it is : — . We hear that the effect of the O'Connor Land Scheme is beginning to be felt at Bromsgrove , Worcestershire , three ofthe located families being in the greatest distress , and iurciuly applying for parochial aid , —CAeltorttatn Journal , Now , what is our answer ? That not one single individual has yet been located upon this Estate ; and what will our readers say to the veracit y of the Press ?
Parliamentary Review. The Event Of The W...
PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW . The event of the week has been the virtual condemnation ofthe Colonial policy of the Government . On Tuesday night , Mr . Baillie , the Member for Inverness , brought forward a motion for the appointment of a Select Committee of Inquiry into the grievances of Ceylon and British Guiana , with a view to recommend measures for the better administration of Government in these Colonies . The speech by which that motion was prefaced , and the still more able one by which Sir W . Molesworiii supported it , embodied a mass of facts
Parliamentary Review. The Event Of The W...
of the most painfully interesting character , and quite conclusive as to the case against the Colonial Office . j ,. .. Lord Torkington , a relation ot the " governing family , " being a needy man , w » " pitchforked" by his friend , Lord Grey , into the lucrative office of Governor of Ceylon , with a salary of £ 7 , 000 a-year . Of course , he was as ignorant of Ceylon as he is now about the of
geography , inhabitants , and language Satvks , and in his case he did not carry with him . the small counterbalancing condition of official aptitude—even to the extent of redtapeism—his highest appointment , in this country , having been that of a Lord of the Bedchamber . This new-fledged Governor , by the grace of Lord Grey , on arriving at the seat of his power , found himself , in fact , elevated from a mere Kentish farmer , aud
Director of the South-Easteru Railway Company , into an Oriental Despot . A large and fertile realm was subject to his rule—there were no representatives of the people to annoy himthe parties by whom he was surrounded were all of the same kidney as himself , quartered upon the revenues ofthe Colony—the only responsibility and subordination to which he was liable was his " relation , " Lord Grey , and , of course , under the circumstances , the burdens thus imposed wore of the lightest kind ,
The despotic and taxing propensities of the new Governor throve amazingly under such influences . He found that the Colony—ruined to a great extent by the policy of the Free Traders—was suffering severely , and that the income , consequently , was not equal to the expenditure . Thereupon , like a true Whig , he resolved to -increase the taxation—not diminish the expenditure . He , however , was better off iu one respect than his " relations " at home . When they propose a new tax , it has to run the gauntlet of Parliament ; but in Lord Toiuungton ' s case , all that was
necessary was to issue an ordinance , and right royally he fulfilled that part of his duties . In the beginning of 1848 , he issued " ordinances , " imposing a variety of new taxes . An annual tax of one shilling on every dog , and two shillings and sixpence on every gun , was ordered to be levied , and all guns and dogs—not registered—were ordered to be destroyed . Those in any degree acquainted with the state ofthe island Avill know that dogs and guns are necessary to defend the natives from wild beasts , and that the average earnings in money of these persons is not more than thirty-three
shillings a-year . A tax of throe shillings and sixpence on these necessaries was , therefore , a very heavy one . Butthat was the least onerous , harassing , and disagreeable part of the matter . They had to go long distances to get their aims registered ; and when they got to the place , the staff of officials was inadequate to the effective performance of the duty . The natives had either to remain for days waiting the convenience of the persons appointed to register , or tramp home again , having to repeat the journey another day . Another " ordinance" compelled every adult male , under
sixty years of age , to give six days labour on the roads , or to pay three shillings annually . Taxes were also imposed on boats , carts , palanquins , and other conveyances , and , at the same time , a census was taken of the population , which gave rise to a general apprehension that it was to be made the basis of new exactions . While these unpopular " ordinances" were being attempted to be enforced , an " insurrection" •— at least , an emeute dignified with that title—broke out in the district of Matelle among the natives . It might have been put down by half-a-dozon policemen , but the Colonial Government wanted an excuse for displaying its teeth , and hence , though warned in time , they refrained from meddling
in the matter until something was done by the tumultuous assemblage of natives which would warrant them in interfering with the strong hand . Thus encouraged the natives declared their leader King , attacked and plundered the Government offices in Matelle , and some four or five plantations , the owners of which had deserted them ; but did not venture to attack those who remained to defend their property . The most exaggerated reports do not give more than four thousand persons engaged in these riots , some say not more than one thousand . The only personal injuries they inflicted were , to tie a Government Agent to the railings of a verandah , and very slightly to wound one soldier . Two hundred soldiers
suppressed the "insurrection , " in a few hours , almost without a scratch . A similar outbreak took place at Komegalle , about twenty-five miles distant from Motelle , where also the rioters proclaimed a King , and were equally summarily put down . It is clear that there could have been no concert between these two parties , and the documents show that none of the most influential and leading men of the island Avere implicated ; yet , upon such a paltry affair as this Lord Toihiingtojt declared martial law . A considerable number of persons were shot , and a great number of estates confiscated , and sold with breathless haste . One man was shot by mistake for one of the
socalled Kings ; the other was ordered to be shot , with many others , but the CHIEF-JUSTICE revolted at the bloody tragedy , and recommended mercy , to which Lord Torrington most reluctantly submitted . By way , however , of compensating himself for the enforced humanity , he caused the King to be publicly whipped before transporting him , which was the commuted sentence ; and transported the others for life , and fourteen years . One priest , who w as accused of being in communication with the pretenders to royalty , was , in despite of every remonstrance , shot in his priestly vestment—an indignity which was deeply felt by the natives , who are devotedly attached to their faith—that of Buddh . Here is the
language—we might justly term it ferocious—in which Lord Torrington speaks of the trials , even after the first paroxysm of angry fear has passed away : — " I regret to have to state that before the Civil Court the convictions have been fewer than I could have wished , and certainl y less numerous than the clearest evidence appears to warrant ; but I have taken every reasonable precaution to prepare a fair and respectable
jury beforehand ; and , as the actual juries empanelled have shown a disposition towards extraordinary leniency , I can only conclude that either they did not entirely comprehend the importance of the cases brought before them , or that they we ' re scarcely satisfied as to the credibility of the witnesses . On the other hand , the cases brought before the courts martial have always led to conviction , "
Lord Torrington seems to have formed his ideas of constitutional Government on the model of Whig government in Ireland . . Packing juries is a common practice there , but his lordship frankly avows a preference for the shrift , and Turkish celerity of a Court Martial ! The case of British Guiana , like that of Ceylon , resolved itself into a question of taxation . The Colony is overrun with a swarm of placemen , who , like beasts , eat up the whole produce ofthe soil . A quarrel took place between the Government and the Combined
Court with respect to the enormous amount annually wrung from the Colony for these scions of the English aristocracy , who are thus quartered upon it , and the stoppage of the supplies was threatened . This led to the retirement of the Governor , and the appointment of another , ( Mr . Barkly ) who has gone out to try to settle matters ; he himself , having stated in the House last sessi
on , that these colonists were the victims of S i TL ° ™ £ at the ^^ of the Colonial Office . Mr . Baillie in concluding his speech , madeaslashing attackuponLordGitBY , whom he said stood " convicted 6 f adeliberate attempt to deceive and mislead the House of Lords , as to the condition and prospects of Jamaica . " Who " perverted truth to serve party purposes , " and systematically prostituted his immense patronage to advance the

private interests of his connexion s , withoi i reference to the public service .
Mr . B . Hawes , tlie Under-Secretary of State , defended himself and his chief—u- h by the way , was present in the Peers' < rn \\^ l during the debate . Of his defence little need be said . It was weak and inconsistent in argument , barren iu fact , and bullvhin- j n tone . A mixture of the " red tape , " and the " injured innocent" dodge , seems to be this gentleman ' s forte . But the Whi gs were too well aw are of the inherent weakness of their defence to trust to that . They therefore induced Mr . Ricardo to become cat ' s paw—umj drag a red herring across the scent , inthchop e of luring the House from the real game . The-v thought , by endeavouring to make it appear that the Committee was asked for tho purpose of restoring Protection , that they might raise a Free Trade debate , and cunningly framed an amendment with that view , which they in . tended to stultify the House ; and , if adopted " the Committee afterwards . Mr . Osbokne ' who has a knack of calling things b y their right names , stigmatised this as " a * dirty manoeuvre to hoodwink tho House . " It did not take , and—after a defence from
Lord John Russell , the most notable feature of which was , that it contradicted that of Mr . Hawes in several important points—Peelites , Protectionists and Free Traders united in a motion , which ' as we have said , is virtually a censure upon the Colonial policy of the Government . The Whigs did not dare to risk a division . They would have been beaten by a large majority , and they had to withdraw their '' herring " amidst the contemptuous jeers of all parties . In this case , SirR . Peel ' s cautiously-expressed censure was even more damaging than the outspoken condemnation of Members less mealy-mouthed .
Tho Next Question Of General Interest, I...
Tho next question of general interest , introduced this week , ia the Admission of Jews into Parliament . We have already so frequentl y placed this upon the unmistakeable ground , that no man should be deprived of any civil or political right on account of religious opinions , that it is unnecessary for us to do more than allude to it . We have no particular affection for the Jews , and heartily despise many ofthe arguments used by the gold-worshippers in support of their admission , but that shall not make us waver in our support of a great and just principle . The mode in which Lord
J . Russell proposes to admit his colleague this year , differs from that of last Session . Instead of bringing in a Bill , he refers the oath to a Committee of the House , with the view of omitting tho objectionable words " on tho true faith of a Christian , " but retaining the "So help me God . " Lord John is not afraid of Jews , but his toleration does not include infidels . Well , we shall , by-and-by , find courage to carry the principles of civil and religious liberty even that far , and learn to avoid the commission of civil injustice , under the pretence of religious scruples .
Tho Other Business Up To The Time Of Wri...
Tho other business up to the time of writing , avc have already commented upon . After a last but ineffectual attempt to defeat tho Coercive Act for Ireland , on the part of the gallant minority who have resisted that piece of tyranny , it was finally carried on Monday night through the Commons . Mr . O'Connok took the opportunity of making a powerful defence of his country , and an equall y able attack on tho despotic and unconstitutional
course pursued by the present administration , which our readers will find in full in another page . Sir John Paiungton ' s Bill for preventing Bribery at Elections , despite of a Conservative Opposition , passed the second reading on Wednesday , but it is to be sent to a Committee upstairs . We shall wait till we see in what shape it comes back before giving an opinion as to its merit . The question o { Marriage , raised in both Houses , will supply materials for future comment .
