EUSH&M & UEWCASTtE . Great Foot Race pob Omk Hujjdbed Pounds a Side . — Durham and Newcastle , or the sporting portion of the citizens cf each , have recently been in a high state of excitement in conseqnence of a matca for a race being made between their respective ehampiona , Atkinson of the former place , and Scarlett , or the lt Doctor , " of Newcastle . Thousands assembled to witness the race which took place on Monday , near Chester-le-street . The distance was a quarter of a mile . It waa closely and keenly contested for the greater part of the distance , but ultimately Atkinson began to lead his opponent , and finally wo * by about five yards . The result was a great Iofs and heavy discouragement" to the " Tyne side" lads , who seemed quite sure of their champion winning .
WIGrAN . —Election . The scrutiny is now over ; the two parties have come to a compromise , each having one member . Tho sitting members are Peter Greenall , Esq ., Tory ; and Charles Standish , Esq ., Whig . A 5 HBTJRTON , DtvoN . —The woollen trade still remains most dismal here ; factories are closed , shops are shut , and no signs of any improvement . Groups of men are walking the streets half clad and aimo 3 i starved . During the last nine months the wooleombers have have not had three months' work . The prospects of the labouring population are truly pitiable and heart-rendjcg . On Monday juight last ssTeral artisans left- this their nat . ve town tor America , among whom many were members of the Chartist Association here , bnt who . on account of the depressed state of trade are obliged to seek employment in other clime 3 .

Sib , —In the Birmingham Journal of last week I find the following bit : — " MblJamesH-Beilbt aud Mb . FeaRGUS O'Con-KOB . —A ccirfespondtat informs as that , in tbe booKs of the reading-room ± Ar . FeaTgus O'Connor appears as a visitor , introduced by Mr . James H . Btilby . The interchange of compliment between the Tory and the Chartist is curious and instructive . " Until I saw the above paragraph I was ignorant of the name of tho gentleman to whom I owed my thanks for an act of courtesy . The circumstance to which the paragraph refers is of so old a date as
probably to have escaped your memory . I beg here to remind you that while-. at Birmingham ( I think m 1838 ) , I wished to procure a volume of tho Mirror of Parliament for reference , and called at the reading-room for that purpose . Being a stranger , I was mi » ing my way , and by chance arrested your attention , i asked jou if I could procure admission to the library as a stranger , when you kindJy and politely introduced me , and THEN asked my name , for the purpose of complying with a rule which rtquires the insertion in a book of the names of strangers iutroduced .
Sir , snch is the charge of the polite Editor of the Birmingham Journal , who now has my best tlianks fur r . aTiDg afforded me an opportunity of thanking you by name for your courtesy . The Editor informs his readers that you are a Tory ; while I assure him that the bare mention of the act of politeness would have convinced all that you were not a Whig . I am , Sir , Your obedient servant , FfiAiiGts O'Connor . London , April 13 th .

The Appoi > tme > -t of Chabtist Churchwardens . —The resuit of the Vestry Meeting last week has added to the many and ticeD mortifications which both sections of the Leeds Whijp have lately had to endure . The rejection of their chosen ones by the assembled parisaioners , and the elevating of working men over the heads of the " respectable " Dissenters has gravelled and galled most awfully . To break the fall as much as possible , and t $ let the Rejected down as easily a 3 may be , the Mercury and Times of Saturday resorted to " enormous lying . " A paragraph appears in both of these Whig organs , sent by some dirty scribe now in office as churcnwarden ; for from the nature of the meeting it pretends to
describe , it could only have been furnished by Borne one present at it . It sets foitb . that the Churchwardtns elect having met on Thursday evening , together with the old Churchwardens , the latter were anxious to give ud ihe books and ail the duties of the office to their successors ; but the Church wardens elect were to entirely ignorant of the duties , and so unprepared to enter upon their discharge , that they urged the former Churchwardens to cominue in office until the " Visitation in Jane . " The facts of the case are just tliese : —The present occupants of office are extremely anxious to be relievtd of the liabilides and duties imposed upon them ; so much so , that ( hey requested , and sthokgly urged upon the CliUrc ' UTraidiiis elect 10 lake office
if theycoald the very next day , and whatever expence attended the takingof the oaths before the Surrogate , the present church wardens would gladly bear ii . This request was not complied with , because the course proposed was not the usual one . Tixe present occupaLts of office have not served their year . The usuai course is to take the oaths before the Archdeicop ., at his visitation in the month of June ; and to this course the Churchwardeno elect expressed their desire to adhere . MiJl the acceptance of office before the usual time was again urged upon them ; and that urging was only ceased by the receipt of a letter from the Surrogate ( who had heen applied to by the present Churchwardens ) ipiimating that he had no power to administer the necessary oaths . The present Churchwardens are therefore bound to continue in office till June :
and were not " urged to do so" by the Churchwardens " elect ! All the requests , all the begging , all the " urging" was on the part of the present occupants ef office , who Beemed to be in "a devil of » hurry " to , quit ! We haT © heard a reason assigned why ; and don ' t wonder at xheir anxiety to " get out of it . " But we suggest to them the propriety of telling the truth and not to lie ; even if that truth-telling shame their own friends . The paragraph fnrther Bays : — " It i 3 rumoured the Churchwardens elect , upon whom will fall the expences of the church , are resolved to take their turns in swoei- 'ipg it out themselves , and that their wives will , in like manner , wash the surplices of th « clergy ! " This ** rumour" was never heard of , only in the offices of the Leeds Whig newspaper ? , and in the domicile of the dirty inventor of the fib .

BIRMINGHAM . GREAT CHARTIST MEETJNa ON MOTJDAY . The workies have done their duty , and they have done it well ! They have brought the mountain to Mahomet , instead of Mahomet going to the mountain ! The brave men of Biiston began to be oil the move about four o ' clock : by five , the band was serenading O'Connor ; by six , the Wolverhampton worthies were in the field , and they started for Birmingham in good order , with banners floating in
defiance of their enemies , not more glorious than the cause they had been unfurled to maintain . On the road , the Walsall workies joined ; and Wedensbury , Dudl ey ^ Stourbridge , Kidderminster , Brierly Hill ? , and otlier localities sent forth their tributary svre&ms , forming as fine a si ght as can be well imagined . The morning was beautiful , but very windy ; and when the Birmingham men met them at the Trees , in Hampton Road , O ' Connor , who had headed and marshalled the . procesaion oa foot , looked more like a miller than any thing eh ? e .
An immense number of stalwart and enthusiastic miners , dressed in their flaauel jackets , marched first in the procession ; they entered the town in great regularity like a well-drilled regiment aud loudly cheered O Connor throughout the march of ten miles . The Birmingham men halted , and fell into the rear of the immense procession . There were several excellent bands of music and banners . Having arrived at Duddesion Row , and taken up their position , tne cha'r waa taken exactly at tieYSu o ' clock by Mr . Porter , who briefly introduced the business of ihe meeting . ' The nrii resolution was moved b y Mr . M'Cartney , one of the delegates from Liverpool , and seconded by Mr . E . F . Mead , of Birmingham , both of whom delivered v « ry eloquent speeches .
Mr . O'Connor supported the resolution in a speech , not a very ioug one , but one lull of kind feeling towards the working men , and jokes upon hi 3 own unwashed appearance . He waa now fairly identified wna the great unwashed , though he was not "the great unknown . " He hailed with satisfaction tiie acknowledgment of our principles , deprecated any opposition to any -party , contending for them , and recummeHded vjgilance aad watchfulness . It was said and thought by many that the objeot of these " now movers" was " to get rid « f Feargus . " But they might as well attempt to remove Oiympus ; he braved their vain and-futile attempts . Thoy said he was in the p » y of the Tones . Good God ! in league with the faction that
had deluged the green sod of his beloved Ireland with martyrs' blood ! He was not a Whig . Tho Whigs had proved that , by their persecution of him aud his brave associates . How could he , then , belong to , or have anything to do , with such a sieD . of scoundrels as either the Whigs or the Tories . But he must be brief j he had .-to address another meeting in London at rght o ' clock , and the Convention would meet to-morrrow morning . He must wash and eat ; for he was a very unfit and very unseemly guest at a soiree , or in a ball-room , unless it were a masquerade ball ; and therefore he must now take his leave , and leave other talented and eloquent men to address them . Mr . O'Connor " . * to ' eii departed amid the deafening cheers of the assembled thousands .
Messrs . Lowery , G . White , Thomasson , from the Vale * of Leveu ; Hichards , from the Potteries ; A . B . Ceok , from Stroudwater , Gloucestershire j T . Soar , and T . P . Greeu , of Birmingham , subsequently addressed the mvetiug , which lasted nearly four hours , in sou ! stirring speeches , amidst breathless silence , when not ii't ^ rrupted by raptarous . plaudits . A vote of thanks was then given to the chairman , aad thus ended our great Midland Demonstration . The following resolutions were passed without a dissentient hand being held up against them : —
" That this meeting view with great satisfaction the result of tbe late Complete Suffrage Conference , as far as their adoption of the entire principles of the People ' s Charter is concerned ; aud we hope tbe . CQhsiliatory spirit exhibited in that assembly will be the means of producing a very strong impression upon the national mind , in favour of the rights of man , and that a general sense of the justice of the p-. ople ' s claims will induce many to join in tho struggle of right against might , and ultimately obtain for tke masses , that full aud perfect liberty which alone can secure the gr ; atest amount of prosperity and happiness to the empire at large . "
" That this meeting do declare their perfect satisfaction with the present organisation of the body called l The National Charter Association , ' and their firm resolution of adhering to the present mode of agitation , relyiag upon their own exertions , but holding out the right-hand of friendship to all who agitate for the same righteous principles as themselves . And we do earnestly call upon the working classes to stand firmly by their own order , and rally round their own victorious standard , by enrolling themselves a 8 members of the National Charter Association . " .
" That we , the members of the National Charter Association , douse our utmost exertions to increase our numbers and augment our funds by every rational and peaceable nuaus , Mich as the distribution of Chartist tracts and other Liberal works , by local collectors , by friendly visits , and mutual instruction socieiies , and discussion with adverse parties , in order to convince others of the fatal effects of class legislation , which has been the cause of the moral , social , and . political evils , which have reduced the people to their pre ? cnt stato of suffering aud
destitution , and wepled ^ o our selves , never to cease fur exertions until tho People ' s Charter , unmiitilated , become the law of the British Empire . " . " That this meeting deeply sympathise with the sufferings of our patriot brethren , the victims of Whig treachery and injustice , especially with the three Welch martyrs , Frost , Williams , and Jones ; a , nd Howel , Jones , and Roberts , of Birmingham , and that we pledge ourselves never to cease our exertions in their bthalf , until every victim is restored to lib . ny , tbe bosom of his family circle , and to the land of his birth . "
' Tnat the beat thanks of this meeting be given , because most due , to the Chartist delegates , who last week so nobly advocated and defended the six # rand principles of ih i People ' s Charter , in tho Complete Suffrage Convention . " ¦ - ¦ ... [ The departure of our reporter from Birmingham to attend the Convention now silting , has prevented us giving a full report of this large , important , and enthusiastic meeting . This we are sorry for , as public attention has been most anxiously directed towards it . Under the circumstances , no other course was left us but to insert such a report as we could procure ; which we have done , with this explanation . ]
Death B"? Burning.—On Thursday, An Inquest
Death b" ? Burning . —On Thursday , an inquest
was held by John Blackburn , fcsq ., at the Black Dog Ina , Bank , on the body of a little -girl ,-i « vo years old , named Amy Westmoreland , who , on the 7 th of March , whilst left alone in the hou ^ o by her mother , set her clothes on fire , and was so . much injured as to cause her death on Tuesday last . Verdict— " Accidentally burnt . " Outrageous Conduct to a Child . —On Tuesday last , a young mau named John Gibson , a cornmiller , in Tenter-lane , was brought by warrant before Messrs . Holdforth and Mu ° grave , at Leeds Court House , to answer ihe following charge : —On Monday week , some little girls were playing by the mill door , at the time the prisoner , was engaged in
getiing some sacks of beans , which he was hoisting up to the third story by a teagle rope . Some of the beans had scattered on the ground , and the children were picking them up , when Gibson observing them , said , " those were mttcky , " and opened a sack mouth to show them some that were clean . No doubt thinking he intended them to have some , they helped themselves , upon which ho seized hold of one of them , named Sarah Fox , between nine and ttn years of age , residing in Swinegate , and twisting her piuaibre up , thrust it through the teagle chain , and dragged her up , suspended thus , to the t ' lird story of the mill , where her head came in contact with
the trap door 3 , her clothes gave way , and she was procipita ' . ed to the ground , where she lay completely insensible , Gibson coolly remarking that he thought she -would come tbers no more . When taken up and examined , it was found that providentially none of her bones were broken , and that she had not received very serious injury , no doubt attributable to the circumstance of tie air having gathered under her clothes , aud thu 3 bore her up ; she was too ill , however , to leave her bed uutil Tuesday , when tte case having been fully gone iuto , the . magistrate ' s decided on sending it to a jury , and refused to accept of bail . The prisoner will be tried at the Leeds sessions .

TO THE IMPERIAL CHARTISTS . Mt beloved Friem > s , —I have only time to say that we have done bravely . The devils of the Conference—Vincent , in particular—both in their meetings and at meetings of the Chartist Church , have poured out the venom of their poor wrath en me and your leaders . I can bear it . They have acknowledged our principles ; but to-morrow they are to make an attempt to get into the traces , and place us in the shafts ! But they shant !! Our meeting will be glorious on Monday , The Bradford delegates are fine fellows . This Sturge Conference is a remuster of ihe rump of the old Malthudan London Working Man ' s Association .
Sturge is , as I long ago said , too good a man , but too weak ; he is led by thoBe who surronnd him . He must throw them off , or he must perish . They speak of another National Conference . Then , hurrah for our side 1 I will spend my last far thing to make a

A requisition to the Mayor , signed by a number of burgesses and householders , was unanimously adopted ; after which Mr . O'Connor moved , and Mr . Wilcox seconded , the ; folio wing .. resolution : — " ¦ ' That vre , the delegates , do hereby invite the several Councils of the several Chartist Associations of Birmingham to meet us at eight o ' clock on Thursday evening j for the purpose of inquiring into the present state of their organisation , with a view to correct any dofocts that may appear to exist in the system , and to place their several bodies upon a Sound and firm bads . " Carried unanimously . The committee , for getteng up the public meeting , were ordered to meet at ten o ' clock on Thursday morning ; after which the delegates adjourned till eight o ' clock .
WEDNESDAY EVENING . The whole of this evening was occupied in discussions as to the propriety of holding public meetings each night in Birminghara , during the sitting of the Conference ; and as to the best means of procuring the attendance of the Birmingham councils , many of whom being present expressed the general opinion which pervaded the body that the object was most desirable , and would meet with their most cordial co-operation . The delegates sat till eleven o ' clock , the room bem ^ j crammed tho whole time , and was adjourned till one o ' clock on Thursday .
There appears to be good generalship somo where , as the excitement produced by tho anticipation of Monday ' s meeting has attracted all public attention from the Sturge Conference , which is now spoken of as a hoax and a failure , things having taken a different turn r ' rom that calculated upou by the respective agents of whom the motley group is composed . It is truly laughable and ridiculous to see the unbiassed representatives of the people applying at Mr . Sturge ' a provision store for their " ticket for soup , " each member receiving a ticket for each , meal signed "Joseph Sturge ; ' / thus practically admitting theprinciple of payment of members : while full , free , and fair representation cannot be rbore happily , illustrated than in the case of John CoHins , who was almost unanimously rejected by his townsmen , and with this u&i ^ ering mark of distinction was sent to Newport at Mr . Sturge ' s exponco , and from thence came back as a full , free , and fair popular delegate . O , ghost of Shell ! ::
MEETING AT THE HALL OF SCIENCE . It having been announced on Tuesday morning that Feargua O'Coiinor would deliver a lecture in the Hall of Science , Lawrence-street , at seven o ' clock in tho evening * at the time for commencing business Mr . J . Porter , of Bull-street , was called to the chair ; and on > Ir . O'Connor making his appearance he was greeted with enthusiastic plaudits . Messrs Bairstow and W . D . Taylor wcie also loudly cheered . Tho Chairman thanked them for the honour conferred on him , and introduced
Mr . J . Baibstow , who was received by the meeting with loud' and long-repfa f . ed cheering . He delivered a most eloquent address , in which he ably defended the Chartist moyement , and pointed out the objections to the present Siurgo movement . He then concluded by chaUeiljiing a discussion with any man on the principles of the People's Charter ; and retired amid loud cheering . Mr . E . P ^ Mead then addressed the meeting in an energetic and humourous address , and was loudly cheered . The Chairman then introduced
Mr . Feahgus O Connor , who was received with every possible mavk of respect and esteem by the crowded and enthusiastic assembly , the ladies , who thronged the gallery , being foremost in" testifying their approbation by waving their handkerchiefs fora considerible time . He thanked them for ths flattering reception he at all times received , and proceeded at great length to expose the many attempts made to gull the people . They had been betrayed , because they were apt to place confidence in the professions of those who merely wanted to use them lor their own purposes . He then commented on the
manner in which the Whigs had falsified thair many professions , and read a document which shewed the shameful amount paid for the support of the Birmingham Police , whioh was nearly as much as was required to keep up the whole police establishment in America . He then exposed the various tricks and bloody wars instituted b y the Whigs , aa a proof of their retrenching propensities . The Chartists had rallied for seven years under the frig-of justice ' - and equal rights . The nsLmeof the Charttv had been the watchwoTd which
had enabled them to beat down all opposition , and would they now give up the name under which they had rallied so long?—( loud shouts of "No , no , never , " and loud cheer .- *) . A Conference was then sitting in the town called ipsether by Mr . ; Joseph Sturge . They had also a Cont ' eienco elected by the people . There were thirty Chartist delegates present , to watch the proceedings of the Conference and watch over the interests of the people , amongst whom was the excellent and honest president of the Executive , Mr . James Leach , one whom tho gold of the people ' 3 enemies could not purchase—( loud cheers ) . They had knocked down the " New Move , " the" Fox and Goose Club , "
and every other device of those who Wanted to divide the peoplo , and , with the blessing of God , thoy would alsp do away with the Complete Suffrage affair , —( loud cheers , )—and in doing so , not only would the people of Birmingham rejoice , but GIusgow , Manchester , Leeds , and all parts of the country would triumph with them . He then dwelt at great length on the great exertions , which the men of Birmingham had made in tho cause of liberty , and said he had no doubt they would do their duty On tho present occasion . He had witnessed a glorious display in Manchester lately , at which there v / ere upwards of half a million of human beings assembled to do honour to the memory of that noble ot
nature , the late lamented Henry Hunt , and he was confident that every one of them Would feel themselves disgraced iWere they to give tip one jot of the Charter , even its name . ( Loud cheorSi ) He had stood by the people for a long time , - he had done so without receiving or requiring a farthing from any man ; and no matter what they did , he was resolved and would never agree to go for anyching short of the Charter ; he would not even give up the name—( hear , hear , and loud cheers . ) Ho rfeen procesded to explain the effect that would beproducedby Peel ' s budget , and wittily showed up the manner in which the Darties interested would object to it , and proved
that the people were the actuaV piiyers of all indirect taxation , they having to pay 13 s .: 6 d . out ot every pound of their hard earnings . Did they think that Mr . Sturge ' s plan would remove the present system J —( no , no . ) It was said that the ChartiEts were the party that kept Sir Robert Peel in office . Ho denied it . No ; it was the Whigs , who refused to do justice to the people—( losd oheerB . ) They might talk as they liked about the physical-force Chartists , but he could point , with sorrowand pride , to the last year , during which the people of this coumry had endured the most appalling misery and starvation ; yet they were not guilty of a Biagle erime . What then would be tho result if they bad an honest parlia-

ment of their own choosing , with ... the comfort it would produce ! After igain reverting to Poel'a Budget , and dwelling at great length on the course which the Chartists ought to pursuei he passed a , high ealogium on Mr . James Loach for hia servicce , and concluded by calling on them to rally round the Charter , as their only hope of security and prosperity . He resumed hia seat amidst loud and long repeated cheering . Mr . James Leach was then loudly called for , and tyas received with loud oheerg . He proceeded to give an account of the impositions and robberies practised towards the operatives of Lancashire by the manufacturers—some of the statements created a tremendous feeliag of indignation towards th . 039 hypocrites who pretend to b © the people ' s friends . Mr , W . D , Taylor w&s also loudly called for ^ and delivered a short address on the propriety of standing iSrmly by the Charter . He was loudly oheeredv-.

HOUSE OF COMMONS .--TH 0 RSPAY , APWt 7 . Mr , Wailace rose to move that the correspondeuce respecting the resignation oL the late Lord Corehpuso , formerly a judge hi the Supreme Court of Scotland , and now retired , should be laid on the table of the House . Sir James Graham resisted the motion ; Mr . Wallace withdrew it , declaring his intenr tion of making use of the correspondence at another time .- . ; ¦' .. ¦ ' ¦' . . . ' ¦¦'' ' : . V- - . ; . - After some conversation , arising from questions on the tariff and the Chinese ransom money ,
Mr . Di / kcombe roBe to propose , that the rule of the House precluding thp presentation of petitions against any tax under its consideration , should be rescinded . He reviewed the circumstancea from which tho rule originated ^ and declared that , in proposing lis motion , he stood on the broad principle of the right of the people to petition against any tax Whatever . : Sir George Clerk admitted that the right of the people to petition should be as little narrowed as possible . But he argued that experience and public convenience were , in favour of the rule , which waa adopted 150 years ago , and was not productive of auy real injury .
Mr . Macaulay thought that the whole argument of Sir G . Cleric was directed against the right of petitioning generally . H # only knew of two reasons whicn should exclude petitions , impropriety in expression , or want of jurisdiction . The right of taxation belonged to the House of Commons , as its own proper fumction , yet by this rule , the people wer * dnvea to petition the House of Lords against the income tax . His own constituents had passed strong resolutions on the subject ''; and bo public inconyenieuce could result from , rescinding the rule ; for that very afternoon , before public business commenced , there had been abundant time to present petitions . ¦¦¦ , ¦ ¦ ¦¦ After a few words from Captain Hamilton ,
Sir Robert Peel eaid he would bo guilty of a gross dereliction of duty if he did not meet tha moiionwith a direct negative . Tho rule had been maintained in periods when there were men ia the House of Commons as keenly alive to the rights of the people as any at the proserit day . Mr . Macaulay ' s z : al had never been awakened till he was but of office . [ Mr . Macaulay here intimated that he had not heard of tho rule till the presexit time . ] The question had been raised in 1795 , when the popular party wore powerful in the House of Commons , and the maintenance of the rule passed nemine contradicente . He did not think that he had much to fear from petitions against the income tax , were the rule rescinded , bat he would be no party to any compromise , and felt convinced that he Woiild ba supported by a large majority of the House in maintaining therule . v
Sir George Grey regretted that Sir Robert Peel had imputed mere party motives to Mr . Macaulay . Precedents were in favour of the rule , but wore we to be bound by our ancestors to the maintenance of a rulo which aggrieved tho people of tho present day ? He deprecated protracted debates , but this rule was almost a necessary consequence of them , in shuttiha ; out the expression of public opinion . Mr . Charles Buller , after some allusion to the course which had beon pursued before Eister , deolared that the country haying been taken entirely by surprise by the proposition of the Income Tax , the motion was perfectly appropriate . Mr . Wallace also supported the motion , claiming for the people the right of full , free , and continuous petitioning . Sir John Hanbieu ( speaking from the Ministerial side of the House ) declared his determination to support the motion .
Mr . Wakley commented on the secrecy which had been , maintained by Sir Robert Peel , before the promulgation of his plans , a policy which ho had a perfect right ti > purauo ; but after that secrecy was ended , the people should be permitted te express their opinions . On a division , the motion was rejected by 167 to 13 G . On tho motion for the third reading of the Corn Importation Bill ,
Mr . Cobditn rose to propose a motion , that as the House of Commons has repeatedly declared its inability to regulate the wages of labour , it is iaexdedient and ' unjust . ' to legislate with a view to raising the prices of food . Tho workmen of this country had repeatedly applied to the House of Commons to intorfere , by legislative enactment , with the rates of Wiigcs , and it had been as repeatedly declared that i ; was impossible to do so . Why , then * should Wfelfgislate for the purpose of maintainintr the prices of food ? Sir Robert Peel had avowfid this to be the
object of the Corn Bill ; and in thus legislating , principles- were applied Jo the trade in corn , whi <; h worked gross injustice to all other branches of the trading and commercial community . Sir Robfrt Peel hoped that -Mr . Cobden would not consider that ho was treating him with disr respect if ho declined entering on the subject . Tho inotion was tantamoun !) to raising the entire question which had been so repeatedly discussed . Mr . Huskisson had bten referred to by Mr . Cobden ; bat the opinion of that statesman , up to a late period of his life , had been hi favour of a graduated scale of duties .
Lord John Russell compared what would be the probable operation of a fixed duty with that of a graduated scale , and declared his conviction , that the measure before the House would not stand as a permanent one . The time was not far distant when a sliding scale would be abandoned altogether , and sounder , principles be applied to the corn trade . : Mr . ¦ yiiiUERS thought that Sir Robert Peel might have attampted some answer to Mr . Cobdeu ' s argument , and expressed his unqaalified condemnation of tkobill before the house . . After a long and desultory converaatidni in which Sir John Tyrrell , Mr . Ward , Mr . Darby , Mr . Wakley , Mr . Btaebstoney Lord Worsley . Mr . K Palmer , Mr . Fielden , Mr . Brotherton , and Sir Val « htine Blake took part .
Tlv > House divided , when the motion was rejected by 236 to 86 . lr . _ Henley then moved that tho debate ' should be adjourned till Monday , which was seconded by Mr . Biewitt , and , on a division , defeated by 247 to 68 . ¦¦ . -. - . While strangers wero absent from the gallery , another division took placfe on the third reading of the bill , Dr . Bo wring opposing it , when it was carried by 229 to 90 . Mr . French than moved a clause , "That so much of thea 6 t as allovyed the impoitation of Foreign or
colonial flour into Ireland" should not take » ffect till six months after the passing of the bill . SirRoBEBT Peel opposed the clause ; and Sir W ; Sommervilie commented on the iaconsistency of Irish : memb 8 r 3 on the ministerial side of the house . He was replied to by Mr . Gladstone ; and Mr . O'Conhell declared that he would vote against Mr . French's proposition should it be pressed to a division . ; After some observations from Mr ; Christmas and Mr . Morgan John O'Connell , Mr . French withdrew hig motion . , ;
Mr . Alex . vnder JOHNSTON brought forward another clause , to permit damaged foreijs ; n » r colonial flour , unfit for human food , to be taken out of bond for manufacturing purposes , at a duty of Id . per'CWt . •' ' : : ' ¦' ....

. Liverpool Corn Mabket , Monday , April 11 . — The week ' s imports of Grain , Flour , and Oatmeal , either of British or foreign produce , are of light amount . The rates of impost have advanced Ms . 6 d . per quar ter on Oats and Ry ? ; on other articles they have undergone no : change . The trade has , on the whole , been of a much less active kind than we had occasion to state in our last report . . The millers and dealers have again been very cautious buyers of free Wheat , aud at Friday ' s market a decline of Id . to 2 ii . per bushel from the rates quoted a week ago wa 9 conceded .:, Flour , too , must be noted 6 d . a barrel cheaper . Oats have baen . scarce , especially fine mealing qualities : all descriptions maintain the currency of ksr week . Oatmeal is also held without alteration in value . About 1 , 000 quarters of dutypaid Egyptian Beans have been run off in small lots
at 28 s . to 28 cj . 6 d . per 4801 b 3 ., but in other descriptions , or in Peas , very li ttie has been done .

Irish manufacture , ar id other sorts not warrautad sound , continue to be a neglected article . Qits and Oatmeal were each in very laDguid request , and the late quotations can only be repeated nominally .

passed to Commons , and being appointed for a second reading in the House of Lords-on Friday next , any further advance was checked , still the small quantity of English at market was taken at fully the rates of last week , with , however , only a retail demand for free foreign ; at about the rates of this day se ' nriight . Bonded wheat was held at high prices , which . checked business therein . Ship Elour wa 3 saleable at last weelc's currency . Barley of ; all descriptions , waa fully as dear . Beans and peas realised : quite aa much money .

Fine malt was rattier more inquired for , arid such held somewhat higher .
London Smithfi eld Market , April 11 . —This was one of the largest markets for beasts we have had to report for many weeks past , yet the trade , all circumstances considered , ruled quite as firm as could reasonably have been ' . anticipated . ' ' Scarcely any breeds left from last week wero on ! sale to-day , while We' have to report the arrival of 2300 Scots arid homebreda from Norfolk and Suffolk ( seven-eighths being from the former county ) , being about ISO more than were received hither on this day Be'nnight . — Only one vessel has reached the Pool since our last , from Scotland , having stock on board , the number of beasts by that conveyance being 150 , of sheep 100 , most of which were of a very superior character ,
indeed wo have Beldom witnessed them in such fine condition . From our western , southern , northern , and midland districts , only 720 Devons , short horns , Hurefords , runts , Scots , fitc . came to hand , very few of which were really prime . The exiect of the supply of stock will bo the more readily perr ceived when wo state that there were nearly & 00 bea 8 ts and 5800 sheep more here ibis morning than at tha corresponding market-day last year ; and , as a necessary consequence , qaotations are frorii 2 d . to 6 d . per 8 Lb . lower thaa at that period * Notwithstanding : the atcendanco of London buyers was numerous ( but with a limited number from the
country ) , and theweather favourable to elaughtsring , we had an excessively heavy demand for IJeef , and , although the salesmen ' ' / submitted to a further depressioii in the quotations of 2 dv per 81 b , the best Scots going off slowly at from 4 s . 2 d . to 4 s . 4 d . ; thoDavons , runts , Herefords , short-horns , at 33 . 10 d . to 43 . per 8 ib ., a clearance was not effected without the greatest difficulty . The only arrival of Lambs from the Isle of Wight was twenty-five , per the Southampton Railway , but from Essex , Sussex , Kent , and Surrey , tha numbers were large ; still ; however , the inquiry for them ^ w as firm , at fully , but at .
