HOUSE OF COMMONS . —Tuesday , Feb . 9 . In reply to a question from Mr . CCo ^ nkio ., Lord Pxlxebstoh said that be could not lay before fl » House the treaty between this country and Texas xmtil &fter its ratification . Lor > l Stawlst again drew the attention of the Hoble Loed to the detention of Mr . M'Leod , in New Tori , wishing to know what steps had been taken to procure hia liberation . Lord Palkbbston said teat npon that Tery day toe instructions of the Government had * been sent to Mr . Fox , bat neither the Noble Lord nor the House would expect him to state what those instructions were , Lori Staxlbt desired to lesra whether any pro-Yious insta-aettons had been seat out on the subject .
Lord PalmekSION replied that the despatches from Mr . F-. x had only been receiTed on Saturday , and that flay ; Tuesday ) was the first upon -which the float tnstracuoos could be sent out A former ecse , however , upon which Mr . Fox bad been fully instructed , ¦ was precisely simQ&r in principle to the present . Mr . Hcmb quoted an order of the d » y of the LieutensnvGTrrernor of Tpper Canada , passing ahujh eulogiuni < - . n the conduct of the parties engaged in the destruction or the Caroline . Hs wished to know whether this d crnnent had ever been transmitted to her Majextyt Government , and whether i ; had been approved -of by ihem » Lord J . Russell replied that the document had been communicated , and the views of the Government . * pon ie subject had been ; represented to the Governjnent of jthphm .
Mr . T . BencoKBB aeled , whether the British Go-Temnient h&d approved or disapproved of the destruction of the Caroline * Luru Palme £ SIOS replied that her M » j ? sty ' s Government thought , under the peculiar circumstances of the c ^ se , that the capture of the Caroline was justifiable This tnnoancemsnt was receiTed with loud cheeriEg from all parts of the House . In misyret to another question from Mr . B . VM . Z , Lord Palks&stox stated th .-t the opiaion of her Majesty ' s GoTttur . e ^ t had been communicated to the American Minister in London , and to the American GoTe-tunent by Mr . Tax . The cheering was again renewed on hearing this declaration from the Noble Lord . Lord Mob-pexh obtained leave to bring in a Bill to atnena the laws relating to drainage in Ireland , and the tmpr jYeinent of navigation and water power in connection w . th the system of drainage . hra
Mr . F . Kxllt moved for leave to brin ^ bill for the abolition of the punishment of deaUi in certain oases . The bill was nearly toe same ts the one he had unsuccessfully introduced to the House last session of Parliament , but he had arranged it so that each instance in which the punishment of death was proposed to be abolished was % iade the subject of a aeparaw clause . He conSned the operation of the present Bill to England and Wales , but he pledged himself , if successful in carrying this Bill through Parliament . , that he would bring in similar bills for Ireland
and ScoU ^ nd . He was glad find that Ministers intended at length to bring in a Bill for the purpose of abolishing the punishment of death in some cases ; and if any cisclesure had been made to him as to the extent to which th&fc BiH would go , he would hare -waited its introduction . As , however , he could not-hope that it would gs to the extent he thought necessary , he then moTec far leave to bring in bis Bin , which , however , he would not carry into committee until he should have an opportunity of seeing the Ministerial measure . Mr . ETiEt weosdtvi the motion .
Lord J . Kvssell silJ there were certainly cas = s of crime now punishable with deaUi , which ought not to be so ; and he could not , therefore , rcfasa his assent to the introducsion of the Bill of the Hon . and Learned Gentleman . He c- ' -uM not , however , a ^ ree'in the arrowed object of ths Hon . and Learned Gentlemanthat of abolishing the pvinishxnent of death altogether . Grinds , apparently of the same nature , -were often very d : 2 = rent in enormity ; for instance , an attempt to « et fire to ships in her Majesty ' s dockyards was an offence which partoofc of the character of high treason ; whereas , setting fire to some ropes , or other such offences against mere property , would be Crimea very different in magnitude & > m the former . He , was of opinion that it would be highly desirable to have a re-Tision of the whole criminal law , so as to renler the punishments actually eaforcsd more recancileble with the punishments directed by the statutes . LeaTs was then given to bring in the Bill .
Captain Pechell obtained leave to bring in a Bill to amend the Tithe Recovery Act ioth and 6 th Wm . IT . ) , acd to take away the jurisdiction from the ecclesiastical courts in all matters relating to tithes cf a certain amount . - ~ Mr . F . Maclb moTed to bring in a Bill on the subject of county court * . He noticed the evil of separate Acts for the recovery of small debts in separate districts , laaHirvj to different practices in different places . His first proposal would be to extend the jurisdiction of the coai . tr courts to a larger sum than at present ; he w » uld suggest £ 20 . Hs would make them . ambulatory within their own districts . He would have a Judge far each , to be appointed by the Government at a fixed alary . He would abolish all written pleadings ; and make a summons the only process . On any amount under £ 5 the Judge might decide without a Jury ; on
any larger ameunta Jury might be demandable by either party . The parties themselves should i > e examinable , and no witness should be incompetent on the score of inters si . He would give to the cour ; a jurisdiction also in the recovery of small tenements . The patronage of the GovernmEnt , under such a system , would doubtless be considerable ; bn ; , in fact , it existed already , for the Ci-ancelior , at preatnt , appointed the Jadge under every one of the local Acts . It was not in contemplation to take away the jurisdiction of Hundred Courts oe Courts of Requests ; though he certainly did believe that the county courts would soon withdraw their business from them . Ths Judge was not to practise at ths bar -, and bis salary was to be at first £ 500 , and to increase , as business should increase , until it reached a maximum of £ l , » 00 . An analogous measure had been ininxine-d into Scotland with the best effect .
Mr . Ewabt observed , that Ireland al 3 o had a similar benefix , in few institution of assistant barristers . They , however , were permitted to practise at the bar ; and this had its advantage , in keeping the judges fymiHT -with the law . He wished to carry the principle of ths measure yet farther than ths Government had proposed , by suteatutin& throughout the kingdom stipendiary magistrates fcr the present justices of the peace . Mr . Wood ( of Middlesex ) deprecated this last suggestion , and while he approved the present measure , yet he cautioned the House against allowing tfcds new class of magistrates to absorb the criminal as well as the civil administration of justice . Mr . Humi agreed in the views of Mr . Ewart . He did eo : Uiink the money would be b 3 diy ? tfi out in these mfarire , but he wished the limit of c the jurisdiction extended to £ 100 .
Mr . Ha"wes concurred in this wish . It was so important to vest judicial appointment in the Crown , that ha trusted the patronage would not be an objection . It might safely be exercised by . the Lord Chancellor or ths Lord Chief Justice . Mr . OXox ? slz considered the chief defect of- the bill to be , that it did not combine the criminal with the civil Jurisdiction . It constituted a paralytic judge , alive on the civil side , but dead on the crliniaaL The courts of the present magistrates were certainly not the courts of the poc-r mac He should be very sorry to sw acy of the patronage given to judges , except the ChanceUi . r , who was a respocsible Minister of the Crown . It would destroy the political independence of the junior bar to put their promotion in the hands af the Lord Chief Justice .
Mr . Gallt Ksighi objected to the notion of substituting stipendiary magistrates for the present unpaid magistracy , and would feei great jealousy of any measure having that tendency . Mr . Tilliess thought there was nothing in the prejent proposal to excite either jealousy or alarm . Mr . CRXSSWBLli apprehended great dissatisfaction to suitors if they were forced into a court from which -there weuld be no appeal ; and great expence to then , if appeals wen allowed , into which they could be inveigled by low practitioners . He vindicated the fear from the imputation that they would be corrupted by patronage , in the hands of the Judges . Tfee Judges had now for some years hid the appointment of the revising barristers , but no decline of independence had . followed .
Mr . Fox Maclb deemed it best to abstain tor the present from giving compulsory jurisdiction for a higher amount than £ 20 . Tha County Courts had already , and ¦ would still possess , power to decide upon larger amounts , where both the parties consented . Leave having been given for this Bill , Mr . Fox Mauls moved the introduction of another eonnerttd with it , and enabling the Chancellor to direct therej « raice to CcuE * y Courts cf that business in baHMptJf i ^ ticfct , in the coiatry , is now devolved « pfll locarConuniwconePB . The same sort of reference nri ^ WjN m ^ Mt in country cases of issdlvency . And the Go « Ar Co ^* might also with advar . ta ; e take the busi-» es § tt- toMi ? ia ifce country . The number of Judtw to b » pr 4 tk *^ -i& the former Bill , which would probably be- 3 £ n * M » B ** £ va , might be expected to suffice for jfrf * ja-jfr bwinass committed to them by both Bills ; ML £ tt ? b « 7 should be un * b ; e to transact it all , he had \ w 3 mTia tau second Bill a power to ths Chancellor of ¦ iaOBasing their number .

Mr . Hawes was ran the measure would give great satisfaction to the mercantile interest *; and leave was given to introduce the BilL On the motion of Mr . Bubssos Tbnnent , the House went into committee on the laws affecting the copyright of designs ; and he then proposed an extension of the term of three months , the present limit of protection , to a term of twelve months . Mr . M . Philips was unfavourable to the change . Mr . Labouchssb doubted the expediency of extending the term beyond half a year . Mr . Colquhook supported the motion . Hr . Mobrison thought six months sufficient Mr . Williams objected to all change . Mr . Sergeant Talfou&d continued to desire proteotection for works of invention . Mr . OConnkll -was an advocate for the twelve months term .
Mr . He me said , this was going a great deal too far ; indeed , he and Mr . Bbothertox , wbo fallowed him , saw no necessity for any protection at all . Mr . Wa&bubtox thought it hazardous to take so long a term as twelve months . Mr . E . Tek . nbnt replied ; and the Chairman was interacted to move the House for leave to bring in a Bill in accordance with Mr . E . Teanent ' s proposal ; which was done , and leave granted . Mr . O'Coknell moved for various returns relating to licensed victuallers ; after which , Mr . Ditett asked leave to bring in & Bill for allowing Jews to make the declaratioa contained in the Acts 1 and 2 Victoria , chap . 5 and 15 , on admission to corporate offices . He thought it but just to put the Jews on the same footing with the Quakers and the Moravians .
Sir Robert I . nglis resisted this motion . He believed there was only one individual whom such a Bill would benefit—namely , Mr . David Salomons , who bad petitioned tha House upon the subject . His own oVjection was , that this concession would be used as an argument for ulterior measures . The Jews were not to be considered as a peculiar Beet bnt as a separate nation : and they had , therefore , no claim to municipal or political franchises in England . Mr . " Wabbcrton said , that Sir Robert Inglis , if he treated them as aliens , ought to bring in a Bill for excluding them from property in land . No evil was stated which their admission would involve . Gentlemen had complained last year of Mehemet AH for his alleged persecution of the Jews , but really their own civil persecution of that people was just as bad .
Mr . GlaDSTOXE said Mr . Warburton had illustrated Sir R . Inglis ' s oi jection , ia arguing that because Jews are permitted to enjoy the privilege of holding land , therefore Jews must be admitted to ulterior privileges . He would not , however , resist , tie introduction of the BilL Mr . Hawes asserted the right of every subject ot the Crown to partake all political privileges , without respect to his religious opinions . He hoped the Bill would lead to a full discussion of the whole subject in some of the further stages . Mr . A . "White said that a respectable constituent of his own at Sunderland had been excluded by the existing law from a corporate office to which he bad been elected . If we wished to convert the Jews , we ought to act ou tha Christian principle of doing to them as we would that they should do to us . Mr . Divett said a few words in reply , and leave ¦ was given to introduce the Bill . The House then adjourned till Thursday .

ACCIDENT AT CASTLE DOUGLAS . BREAKING DOWN OF A CHARTIST MEETING ROOil . TO THE EDIT 0 B OF THE . V 0 XTHEB 5 STAB . Dear Sib , —It is a painful Usk , at any time , to announce accidents , and to appeal to the public in behalf of the sufferers . On the present occasion , 1 regret t « state , that a very severe accident occurred at Castle Douglas , on Friday , the 5 th of February , through which a number of working men have snffered severe injuries , and some of them , I fear , may be disabled for life . I shall state the simple facts of the case , and leave the subject with my brother ChartUts , who have , on all occasions , so nobly aided the imprisoned , supported the unfortunate , and upheld their character for generosity and justice .
On my arrival at Castle Douglas , according to previous appointment , I learned that Mr . Moitland , of Gelston Castle , and other scrubs in the neighbourhood , h&d rattled in their carriages , and calling some of the r-iiigistrates together , as well as visiting the tradesmen witu hid the letting of the Mason ' s Ljdge , prohibited my proposed meeting in any of the public rooms in the town . I resided , in my boyhood , many years in Castle Douglas . 1 have not been there since 1 was publicly engated in the political movement ; therefore there was an unusual acxiety to hear my proposed lecture .
A workroom belonging to ilt . Ing \ i » , coach builder , was , at length , procured , and long before the hour of meeting the working men flocked in from all the surrounding villages . The room was packed full , but the joists were never intended to carry such an unusual burden , and the consequence was that tbo greater part of the flooring gave way , and some 500 people were cu&t down with dreadful force on the top of eaeh other and into the apartment beneath , where a scene of confusion ensued which totally baffles all description . 1 ¦ was detained in conversation by one of the magistrates , who , together with a great number of the
niiddle-cliss , were bending their steps to the meeting room , and but for that fortunate circumstance , every one is of opinion that a difference of two minutes or ltss , -would have settled all matters of dispute between the Government and the ' little Doctor . " As it was , many of the shopkeepers , and one or two medical men went down in tbo melee—however , with their usual good fortune , taey escaped scot free . The whole mischief fell npon a comber of unlacky working men , and God knows , their weakened frames , stinted in nourishment , contributed much t \> their helplessness * , and adds to their misfortunes .
I regret to say that some very severe injuries were sustained , from a compound fracture in the leg to a simple bruise on the head—fortunately , no lives were lost . A number of working men are , consequently so seriously injured as to be utterly unable to pursue their usual trades , and , I imagine , it ia only necessary to mention thi 3 to secure a public subscription from the people—from all , at least , whose means will enable them to soothe the sufferings of the poor and put a balm upon the wounds of the injured . ilr . Aitken , bookseller , and Mr . Blair , feutcher , Castle Douglas , -will be happy to receive aad diatritmte contributions . I remain , dear Sir , Tours sincerely , On behalf of the Caatle Duuglas sufferers , P . M'Docall . j * -

TO THE WORKING MEN OF SCOTLAND . Mt Friends asd Fellow-Cowstetmex : —In addressing you at this time I need not make any lengthened apology , especially when I consider that I am about to lay before yon , for your consideration , a plan which has for its object the advancement of the great cause in "which we are engaged—the establishment of the Chartist movement in Scotland on a secure and permanent basis , aa well as the upholding of the character and honour of oth nation .
At all t imes , whethsr lecturing in public or conversing in private , it has been my study and endeavour to add moro to your stock of knowledge—to discover your wants—to listen to the story of your wrongs , and to lay bare the robbery of your masters—the cruelty of ycur tyrants ! I sincerely hope , my friends , that I have succeeded in securing at least a share of yaur confidence ; and if so , it shall be my future labour to prove , by my exertion , that I deserved it . I itave lectured as long as my health will penult , and as often as my strength would allow .
Two course lay before me : one was to descend to the duties of my profession , and serve a locality—the other was to dtvote time and talent to the csuse , and becoiap the servant of a nation—the friend of the workman—the advocate of the rights of labour . I have chosen the latter course ; voluntarily have I adopted it , and I am now about to launch my bark upoD tbe vrateTs cf political agitation , trusting that principle will be supported , consistency respected , and the just provisions of the Charter more securely implanted in the bosoias and affections of the people , through the advocacy of a national paper , which shall not bend to a time-ssrving policy , kneel to the enemies of the people , or lose sight , for one moment , of the prize which is gazed at and longed to be grasped by millions of panting and impatient slaves .
My friends , this Chartist organ , The National , which I purposs to establish immediately in Glasgow , shall know no medium policy , worship no party , bnt serve as a sincere Chartist organ the great xnasi of the oppressed workmen of this land ; be devoted to the worker , net the eater—to the slave , not to the master . Two things please me in deliberating upon this project First—There is an urgent necessity for creating a national Chartist organ in Scotland , which shall fearlessly advocate the rights , and openly reflect the wrongs of the labourer ; which shall speak alone to the workman—which shall place a mirror before his eyes , and a weapon in his hands , by which the deepest roguery may be seen , and the mott formidable enemy
overthrown . Secondly—There is & national duty to be performed at this momentous period , which every Chartist ought to aim at , and every Scotchman glory in . Is it to be said , fellow-countrymen , that Old C&ledonia is to possess no national press ? It is true , Perth and Doudea have their Chnnidet—they are excellent in tkeir localities ; Glasgow has its Circular , a publication which must be as often praised as it is read . Why should not Scotland have her national organ of Chartism as well as England have her farjprtid and ably conducted Star ? Nay , more , the causa demands it . The wants of the times cry aloud for it -, danger iits in delay , and defeat frovrus upon oar path .
I registered a solemn promise in a court of justice , and in a prison , that I should strive through life to be a thorn in the side of rhat Government which persecuted you , and imprisoned your leaders ; or of any Government which withhsid the sacred rights of a pe » p ' . e- I wish to fulfil my promise . Let me have the ice ^ cs , then , of Serving you , and of opposing the coomon enemy .

I propose to edit this projected paper , and to devote my whole energy in conducting it , for the beoeat solely of the working men . How is it to be started 1 You , ttjr friends , most answer me that , by your fcubscriptiona . I propose to raise 800 shares at ten shillings each , payable on the 20 th of February , to Jame » Molr , George Ross , and William Thompson , who have agreed to act as treasurers conjointly for the paper . ^ I would pay interest on each share , not less than fife per cent nor mare than ten percent , per annum . I would issue the first No . of the paper on Saturday , the
20 th of March , 1841 , continuing it weekly as long as the people considered that it went the whole length in Chartist politics , and , therefore , was deserving of support I would admit of payments by instalments at the rate of two shillings weekly np to the 20 th of March , so as to enable working men to become shareholders ; I would suggest that all shareholders to the amount of ten shares , or representatives often shares , do meet in Glasgow on the 20 th of February , to . enter into all necessary arrangements for the starting of the paper ; and I call upon all Chartists to subscribe , as readers , one quarter in advance , so as to give & fair field and a free start for Tha Naiioiud .
Am proprietor of the paper , I would be , of course , amenable to the shareholders ; but , as editor , I would admit ot no controul in my writings from companies or individuals . Those trades which desired a direct interest In the paper , could not do better than take tea shares at once , although I shall pledge myself to admit all official statements sent to me by authorised individuals belonging to the various trades , whether they become subscribers or not ; and I can assure them that I have their several interests so much at heart that their communications should have immediate attention at all times .
In condncting the paper , I may say , in the werds of a vulgar , but yet expressive phrase , I would go the whole hog in Chartism , and you know it Independent of the editorial articles , I would every week give my viewB clearly and fearlessly upon the factory system , rural police , currency , banking , and paper money , Sottish Poor Law , Philosophy of AristocT&tio Governn > e . \ - ,. rights and wrongs of labour , < kc &o . ; in short , giTe familiar and clear illustrations of every tyrannical system or juggling humbug , all of which writings I woald endeavour to present each quarter in a clear copy to each subscriber who paid in advance . Finally , I would record the movements of the Cbartists in every town throughout Scotland , and make the paper a source of continued interest , information , and pleasure to every hard-handed sou of toll .
If I have neglected to notice anything of importance in this address , I will supply the deficiency to any correspondent , or to the board of £ 10 shareholders , on the 20 th of February . Now , my friends , I have made you a fair offer of my continued services ; will you enlist me in the grand army as an eld soldier in the cause , although a new recruit for the patriotic service of the press f Decid * at once for the cause—for yourselves—for the honour of our native laud . The press you must havewhether you accept of me or not is another question . Serve your cause , serve your country , I have sworn to serve both . Therefore , anxiously looking to the 20 th of February to know whether I must stand by the press , and thenceforward to the 20 th ot March to see whether you stand by the cause , I am , dear friends , Your devoted advocate , P . M . M'DODAtL .
P . S . —AH communications to be addressed , ( postpaid , ) to "William Thompson , Princes Street , Glasgow , the writers stating clearly , 1 st , that they are shareholders in the National ; 2 nd , what amount of shares they will take ; 3 rd , what instalments they will advance ; 4 th , their name and place of abode , clearly written , not only so as to be read , but in Mich a manner that a letter may reach the parties through the Post-Office .

—~ - ~ - —* ^ p . . . ....... . THE PROTECTED CAPITALIST AND HIS CAPITAL . AGAINST THE UNPROTECTED LABOURER AND HIS LABOUR . Drovlsden is at this time one scene of poverty , misery , distress , starvation , and want , in consequence of the late turn-out of the power-loom weavers , A few years ago , several gentlemen ( save the mark !) from the town of Stockport , built a large factory in this village ; their original intention was to have wade it into a bat manufactory , but finding it impossible to bring the men into bo dose a compass as that , they thought they might just do as they thought proper with them ; they took a second consideration , and converted it into a cotton-hell , to fill which , with a sufficient number of hands , they ( the masters ) made great promises , and
held out great Lopes to the work-people , which had the dtsired effect in procuring them . People came thither from almost every town and village in Lancashire and Cheshire . But , mark the sequel ! No sooner had they got them there , than thu masters began to practice all sorts of tyranny , making good the old adage , " we have you fast now , and we can do what we like with you . " About three weeks since , the masters gave notice of an abatement , to the tune of five shillings , from every four loom weaver . The hands whispered among themselves , and resolved to resist it by turning oat , which the masters got wind of , but took no notice until a few hours before the expiration of the notice , when the hand * were surprised by the sudd « n stoppage of the engine ; and , upon inquiry , they were
told ( something was amiss with it This is & trick which has been repeatedly resorted to , under similar circumstances ; the main and sole object of which was to prevent the weavers from getting in their cuts , and in the event of their not returning to their work at the reduced price , to cheat the hands out of some two , some three , and some four each , which according to Cotton La-w -would be forfeited . The masters , in order to carry out their robbery and villany , sent for a band of blue bottle police , to guard , to be sure , the master ' s property , and intimidate the turn-outs ; overlooker * , lickspittles , and understrappers , were sent to sceur the surrounding towns for the surplus people , who were out of employment , to bring in as knobsticks . Not satisfied even with that , they used their influence
on every occasion , where they had any , in preventing the turnouts from procuring "work at other mills . In one instance , two young women went to Ashton , and got a shop , but no sooner did the masters hear of this than they sent one of their tools in the shape of a man , but who is certainly a disgrace to human nature , to ABhton , -who biw the- females , and promised them if they would but" return , the condition would be , that they would have their looms again , and should , in addition to that , have the best work . The unsuspecting lasses took them at their word , and left their situations , and returned to Droylsden with the full expectation of having their looms again according to promise , but alas ! it was all delusion ! On approaching their old mssters , they were told to go about their business ;
after persuading them to leave the place they were then at , and not only so , but they have forfeited vrhat work they had done at the Ashton shop , and rendered themselves less liable to procure work any where else ; being , no doubt , set down in the black book , with a full description of their persons , names , and ages . This ia a species ot superlative rascality , treachery , and black-hearted deception . By the exertion of the tools , nearly the number of hands have been procured to supply the places of those who turned out , and the consequence is , that the rest are now walkiug the lants , not knowing what to do .. The masters have declared never to have them ngain , and what aggravates the thing more is , the whole families worked at this mill , and , of course , they have all met the same fate . The spinners
and dressera , were compelled by the masters to send their wives irad children iuto the factory ; all who were able , till others could be fetched , or otherwise they must likewise be discharged . Those overlookers and lickspittles , who could and did practise most spits and malignity towards the turn-outs , were beat received by the masters-, while , on the contrary , those who had hearts and could feel for their fellow-creatures , and could not act the rogue , fool , and knave , were Bent about their business—humanity and sympathy being commodities unknown to these factory tyrannical cotton le-wla . The-work , before the abatement , was very bad , and the poor people were only able to get oa much as kept them living from band to mouth , at this very inclement season of the year , and what they will do now , Gad only knows . The heads of the families will have to 'wander up and down the country , in learch of work , leaving their poor wives and children at the mercy of providence
and chance , and perhaps for months before they will succeed , to i * y nothing of the expence of removing their goods . Will it be believed , " th » t these masters are celebrated aa promoters of religion , temperance , and morality ; subscribe to the various charitable institutions ; and that their names are blazed about In the different reports , as though they -wore the most immaculate saint * in Christendom ? Taesa greedy , grouping grindisg , robbing , plundering villains , are as mealymouthed , and make aa much profession as though they were the moat pure , virtuous , and harmless creatures in the world ; but , by their conduct , they prove themselves the most odious wretches , and are guilty of cant , hypocrisy , brutality , hard-heartedness , cruelty , and blasphemy . They laugh , jeer , sneer , and exult at tke triumph they have achieved orer their helpless dependants—a disgrace to religion , to humanity , to » ociety , and to every thing virtuous , honourable , and praiseworthy . The natters and colliers ara yet out , and are no nearer coining to a settlement .

FBOH OBR 1 OM > O « COBBESPONDEN * . Thursday Evening , Feb . 4 .. Tur Money Market , the Corn . Laws , and Commercial Prospects , &o . —Anxious to ascertain the effect which the recent Ministerial exposition of affairs might have produced , upon that index of mercantile feeling , the "long heads upon 'Change /' wo this morning paid a long-deferred visit to the vicinity of the Old Lady ' s mansion , in Threadneedlestreet ; and the " notes" we picked up , are hereby presented for circulation . In the first place , the '' lea&ne , " and its semi-Ministerial countenance , has operated in a remarkable manner upon one section of investment-makers , ( that is , men who "invest" other people's mon « y in the various stocks , composing the
national debt ; taking the profit themselves , if the transaction prove lucky , and leaving all losses to fall npon the dolts who entrust their cash to the keeping of these investers , " }—these , believing that the repeal of the Corn Laws would totally destroy the landed interest , and subvert the whole condition of British property , by rendering the produce of the land actually valueless , have refrained from any " operations" of consequence , unt il the cabinet weathercock should have been thoroughly stationary on that point . A second pany , relying confidently on the strength of the landed and Conservative party , to resist tha " repeal , " even should Ministers " come out" that subject with all their strength , have taken advantage of the unwonted supineness of their brother jobbers , to ; "do a little flimsy" on the strenKthof it . The result is . that what is termed
" money "—i . e ., bank rags and bullion—has never been remembered so ** easy" as at the present time ; as , notwithstanding that tbo rate of discount ha ? fallen even as low as four per cent ., the bankers and capitalists find Bome diflionlty in procuring their usual supply of " stiff . " Consequently , the former class prefer holding their money , to making investments for a fixed period . A change of this state of things , must , ( the knowing ones say , ) take place before long ; and a renewal of activity , on the commencement of the spring trade , is expected to create such an increased demand for capital , as to cause a total re-action in the value of money after its present state of relaxa * . tion . It is clear , therefore , from this state of things that trade at present is dull , and that the" mediumis going a-begging ; and when trade becomes brisk , the jugglers will take care to have their own price for the temporary use of some of their rag and dross "counters .

Fibbat the StandaRd Officb . —Last night , just as my letter was posted , ( i . e . half-past seven ) , afire broke out in the engine department of the Standard newspaper , which was providentially disoovered by a female servant belonging to the dwellinghouse ; the machinists , having quitted the premises for the night . An alarm was immediately raised , abundant , aid was speedily at hand , ( the Norwich Union Office being nearly next door , all the apparatus for extinguishing fire were promptly applied , )
and the element was subdued atter doing some comparatively inconsiderable damage . It is a remarkable circumstance , that fire 3 have broken out in twelve different London newspaper offices , within a period of as many months ; in consequence of which , the offices have unanimously raised the premiums on such policies from double to treble hazardous . There were , as we heard , several other fires raging last night , in various parts of the metropolis ; but our informant was unable to direct us to the precise localities .
Mr . Henry . Vincent arrived in London on Monday last ; and has published an addrcs ? "To the Chartists of Great Britain" in the English Chartist Circular of this week , in which he exhorts his brother Chartists not to allow their societies to degenerate into mere " talking olubs , " bnt to render them " Normal Schools for the education of political teachers .

[ FROM THE LONDON PAPERS OF PRIDAT . J In the House of Lords , last night , the Earl of Minto moved the thanks of their Lordships to Sir Robert Stopford , Commododoro Napier , Admira Bandeira , and the officers and men comprising the land and sea forces serving under their command , during the recent transactions in Syria . Lord Colchester suggested that , in addition to the thanks of the House , some essential mark of his Sovereign ' s favour should be presented to Sir R . Stopford . The Duke of Wellington , the Earl of Hardwicke and Lord Hill , severally bore testimony to the gallantry of the recent achievements in the Levant ; after which the motion was unanimously agreed to .
LordBnouoHAM presented a petition from Leicester , praying for the abolition of Church Rates ; and asked if it was the intention of Government to iutroduce a measure upon the subject this session ! Lord Melbourne said that it was not in his power to mako any such announcement . Lord Brougham asked if his Noble and Learned Friend on ( he Woolsack intended to bring in any bill for the improvement of the ecclesiastical courts 1 The Lord Chancellor replied in the affirmative Their Lordships then adjourned .
In the House of Commons , last night , Lord J . Russell moved for leave to briag in a b ill for the registration of parliamentary electors , which in no essential respect , differed from that of last year . He proposed that fifteen revising barristers should be appointed by the Speaker , from forty-five barristers nominated by the judges , and that when once appointed they should hold their offices independently , being removable only upon an address from both Houses of Parliament . He also proposed a court of appeal , consisting of three barristers ; aud iustead of an annual revision he should propose chat the first revision should establish tha right for life , under the same circumstances as those under which it had been originally conferred .
Mr . Liddell hoped there would be some clause in the Bill to prevent tho personation of voters . At the late Wal&all election three deceased Conservatives were personated by three persons who voted in their names for the Liberal candidate . Leave was then given to bring in the Bill . Lord John Russell moved tor a select committee on Acts relating to South Australia , which wse agreed to . Shortly after the House adjourned .

A Boon I a Boon!—Cases of every description have been cured simply by the use of Parr ' s Life Pills , thus showing that what have been considered different disorders , and requiring different treatment , all originated in the ti&me cause , and cau be cured by one uniform treatment . Parr ' s Life Pills , although powerful in conquering disease , yet aro as pure and harmless as new milk , and may be administered with confidence to the invalid , however weakly from long ill-health , who will soon enjoy those delightful symptoms of a return to strung health , viz ., good apputite , sound sleep , and an increase of animal spirits . To have produced a niedi-i cine so benign and mild in its operation and effects , and yet so effectual in searching out aud curing disease of however long standing , exhibits on the part of Old Parr deep research and a thorough knowlecde of his subject .
