IRISH CORPORATIONS.—It appears that Lord GORT was excessively anxious to have the Disfrau chisement Bill extended to Corporations. His Lordship is well aware that there are no limits to the Freemen, while the extent of property must limit the Freeholders of Corporations. If he could have Just contrived to have slid in this change in the Bill, he hoped to have put out Mr. SRING RICE from Limerick. We were happy to find that the Duke of WELLINGTON spoke of hereafter entering into . the correction of Corporate abuses; this will indeed be a blessing.—Dublin Morning Register. - - An agent to a London insurance -office, in a town on the borders of this county, has, we understand, practised the following ingenious device on his insurers:— Being a tradesman, he has for a number of years been in the habit of charging his customers in their annual ac counts with the amount of their insurance, and they have been unwise enough to be content with such vouchers, in stead of the regular printed forms of receipt supplied by offices to their agents. This trick was successfully prac tised till a short time ago, when one of the parties who had so paid his money, calling at the office in London to snake some inquiry respecting his policy, the whole scheme was discovered,—Brighton Gazette, LIVERPOOL.

The Treasury, it is said, have declined pur chasing the Guildhall, Westminster, for a Record Office, owing to the extravagant price demanded for it. We stated in our last that at an extraordinary meeting of Weavers' delegates on Thursday, it was carried that a gradual rise should be accepted, in preference to a return to the October prices. The opinions of the dele gates at this meeting were founded on a supposed commu nication froM an influential member of the relief com mittee; but this having since been disclaimed, it was una nimously 'carried at the meeting on Saturday to stand by their former resolution. We are glad to state that we have this afternoon seen the tickets of two respectable manu facturers who have this day given out webs at the October pi icei—a 15°° 11-Sth lawn at SP. per ell, winding, 24d. per spindle—a 12°° 5-4th lawn 3d. an ell, winding lid. per spindle.— Glasgow Chronicle. TnE IL LUM INA Tzoms.—We have learned with unaffected pleasure, that the observations in yester day's Register have not, been wholly useless, and that there is now a general feeling that illuminations en the present occasion had better be dispensed with. It will be seen that a Requisition for a Meeting to be held this day has re-• ceived the signatures of several moat respectable and influ ential gentlemen who agree with us on this matter. All through the conduct of the Catholic Body has been such as to call forth panegyric from Ministers and Princes, up to the most elevated in the lend. It becomes us, now that the victory has been achieved, to take care that no thing shall occur to prove us unworthy of this proud.distinc tion, or to sully the fame which, we trust, it is destined to bring nut of this great struggle. —Dublin Morning Register. Never was there a greater revolution produced in the feelings of a body of men, than has been produced upon the minds of the Catholics of Ireland since the late prospect of justice.' There is among them no feeling of insolent exultation—no triumph of political opponents. On the contrary, we have observed an ardent anxiety to heal past differences, and to act in concert with the Legis lature in the great work of national reconciliation. Eman cipation is justly considered, not a Catholic, but a Pro testant victory, because a victory over themselves—the glorious triumph of justice, wisdom, and clemency, over long-cherished prejudices. This, we declare solemnly, is the prevalent sentiment we have observed among the Ca tholics. An opportunity is about, however, to arrive, when the Protestants and the whore world may be con vinced that such is the prevailing feeling. The Emancipa tion Bill has virtually passed. It will be annowed officially as the law of the land probably by the next irlcket. Some persons have injudiciously talked of illuminating the city. We trust no such thing will be done. It would not be intended as a triumph, but it would have the effect, and retard the great, the common object of universal concord. If but one accident was to be the consequence, but one sick person to be disturbed, or the feelings of one fellow citizen wounded, it would be a sufficient reason for ab staining from what at best is a troublesome and ridiculous pageant. But many sick will be injured by the noise and tumult—many accidents probably occur—many fellow citizens be offended ; and it is worthy of a grateful people to abstain from any ostentatious or offensive display.— Dublin k'ilut, LEEDS CORN MAR KEE—April 14.

THE SULTAN MAIIOMET AT TILE FEAST OF THE BAIRAII. The Sultan himself came last. He even then gave propn. his very expressive countenance, of that highaM resolute temper which has distin guished him ever. since. The eye was still, deep, overmastering; the nose, somewhat turned up, bore about it the indication of an intrepid and au dacious spirit; his lips, scarcely visible through the profusiOn of his coal black beard, were swelling and imperious; his whole physiognomy, calm, concen trated, an smoothed in appearance of every trace or stir o; t, an passion, was cast in the finest mould, an -- -:Nr.erfectly soft, uniform olive, through which theke„ not even the symptom of circula tion or blood. In comparing him to those who had preceded, his supremacy in mind as well as dignity was striking. The eyes alone seem to think. Every thing else was stern, and pale, and marblely as death. He held in his hands the fates of millions, and he felt it. He bore himself like a master of men, like a king of kings. His subjects, as he passed, veiled themselves before him, and placed their hands Xan Eastern adulation imported into Rome) between their oyes and the excess of his Majesty. His cos tume was magnificently simple. 'I he black martin or sable, and the diamond aigrette ; were the only insignia of his power. Before him rode his treasurer, scattering newly-coined paras in showers (some of them came into. our faces) on the heads of his faithful people ; and behind his Secretary, receiving in his yellow portfolio the memorials of the unfor tunate and the aggrieved. The escort which sur rounded him was the favourite guard. Their fan tastic helmets, another corrupt memorial of the Lower Empire, threw a strange, yet gorgeous glare over the scene. The whole was closed by detach ments, nearly as numerous as those which had pre ceded him; and in this manner he entered his serai, amidst the veneration rather than the shouts (it is too inde r3roirs and laborious for a Turk to shout) of his accompanying subjects. During the entire pro. cession he appeared scarcely moved. It is quite out of etiquette for the Brother of the Sun and Moon to give any evidence of mortality.—New Monthly Magazine. ---- --- SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S. Another important change has taken place in the Derby betting since our last report, Lord Exeter's Augusta colt having jumped up from about 25 to 1 to 12 to 1 for the Derby, and in the same proportion for the Riddlesworth. This alteration takes its rise from a trial which he is stated to have had with Green Mantle, in which the report says he beat her in a canter. This occasion, dan effort to send the mare back, but it did not succeed, nor was the horse in such favour at the close of the betting yesterday as seemed to be expected. Espagnolle regained his old place, and Morris Dancer improved a couple of points ; no Others in the Derby were affected by yesterday's betting. The Riddlesworth continues as good a betting race as ever. Luss and Canvas were backed yesterday very freely.

A great number of the frequenters of the Turf at tended last night at the One Tun coffee-house, Jermyn street, when the whole of the stakes for the match of ten miles, between the Rattler, the American trotting horse (belonging to the same proprietor as the celebrated Tom Thumb, who performed the extraordinary feat on Sunbury Common some months ago), and ➢Mss Turner, was made good. 'I he match will come off to-morrow week, between Cambridge and Huntingdon. The horse gives one minute at starting, and, as it is calculated that the mare can do the distance in thirty-one minutes and a half, the Ame rican horse must perform the ten miles in a few seconds over thirty minutes in order to win—a feat unparalleled in the annals of the turf, being, moreover, bound by the articles to carry ten stone, while the mare may carry a feather weight. The match excites great interest in the sporting world. PARLIAMENTARY PAPERS. WAREHOUSING PORTS.

THE FANCY. DROWN AND DOBELI, FOR 206/. A SIDE.—The second deposit in the above match was to have been made good last night, at Spring's, the Castle Tavern, Holborn. At 10 o'clock the stakeholder informed the company present that he bad new the pleasure to announce to them that Brown's money for the second deposit was duly posted in his bands, and observed at the same time, that it gave him pain to be under the necessity of acquainting them that Dobell had, by the advice of his friends, found himself compelled, on account of his present bad state of health, to decline the fight, and to submit to a forfeiture of the 101. he had already staked at the first deposit (which was claimed accordingly on the part of Brown, who was en titled thereto according to the articles); but he still hoped the match would be renewed as 80011 as Dobell recovered his health, and that they would be then gratified by a fair and jolly fight between the parties. DEAF BURKE AND FFUMAIJRICE, FOR 251. A SIDE.— A deposit of one sovereign a side bad been put down previously wtween these parties, and Reuben Martin now came forward to malie good the remaining V. for Burke, whilst the backers of Fitzufaurice paid up his proportion, to make giod the first d e p os i t o f 5 1 . on both sides. The principals eilig both present, retired then to a private room with the stakeholder to draw up. and execute the articles of agreement. WHIST EXTRAORDINARY. A game at whist was played a few evenings ago, at Brampton, the singularity of which is worth recording : The winners scored eight by honours in the first and second deals, losing the odd trick each deal ; the third deal they gained the odd trick, the honours divided ; tip& fourth, fifth, and sixth deals, they held four by honours each deal (losing the odd trick the fourth and fifth, and gaining the sixth deal), making twenty by honours held by one party in one game before they could win it, although good players.—tLeamington Spa Courier. A meeting of Noblemen and Gentlemen of Ireland took place yesterday at the Union Hotel, Cockspur street, his Grace the Duke of LEINSTER in the chair, for the purpose of considering the propriety of convening a public meeting to take the necessary steps for erecting a statue in Dublin to his Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON, to commemorate his late measure of relief to his Ma jesty's Roman Cath&ic subjects, when it was resolved to call such a meeting at the London Tavern on the 2d of May. The Marquis :of DOWNSIIIRE and several other peers and Com Owners were present, as well as Mr. O'CONNELL. Mr. PIERSE MAHONY undertook all the necessary arrangements for carrying into effect the inten tions of the meeting. Times. EXPLOSION OF POWDER MILLS.--7,4Ve have received intelligence of a dreadful explosion (heard some miles off) of the corning-house of Ramhurst Powder Mills, situated about two miles from Tunbridge Town, which happened this morning (Monday) about ten o'clock ; and it is truly melancholy to add, that two of the men employed at the time, were killed on the spot.

IMPERIA L PA RLIA M ENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS.--(LAST NIGHT.) Mr. BYNG presented a petition from the parish of St. James's against the Select Vestry. Mr. KENNEDY moved for a new writ for the county of Ayr, in the room of Mr. Montgomery, deceased. Mr. HUME moved for several returns relative to the Silk Trade. Mr. HUME gave notice that after Easter he would move a standing order, to the effect that ore day's notice be given for the first and third reading of all private Bills. nUME moved for various returns relative to the Assessed Taxes and Parochial Rates. CORN LAWS. Mr. HUME gave notice of a motion for the middle of May, for altering the present Corn Laws. He would submit a proposition for doing away the present graduated scale of duties, and substituting a fixed duty in lieu of it. Mr. LIbDELL presented a petition from the Medico-Chirurgical Society of Newcastle, relative to the providing of subjects for anatomical purposes. Mr. BROWNLOW brought in a Bill for drain ing the Bogs of Ireland. The Bill was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on the Bth of May. Mr. GRATTAN presented several petitions against the. Sub-letting Act, from places in the counties of Tipperary, Dublin, Westmeath, and Leitrim. • Lord CLIFTON presented a petition from the inhabitants of Canterbury, complaining of the absence from England and non-resignation of Mr. Lushington, one of their Representatives. Mr. MABERLY presented a petition from the Brewers of Aberdeen, complaining of the duty on Beer. Mr. MABERLY moved for a continuation of the accounts relative to the Sinking Fund, and the 3i per Cents. Mr. HUME moved for a return of the number of privates ballotted for in the United Kingdom for the last:two years, and also fora return of the exemptions. FINANCE COMMITTEE. Mr. MABERLY asked the Right Hon. Gentle man (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) if the Finance Committee was to be revived this year, as without it there was no hope of a reduction of taxa tion. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that he would give no other answer than he gave at the commencement of the session, which was that this year it was unlikely that this Com mittee would be re-appointed, but it was partially renewed by the appointment of a Committee to in vestigate the Irish estates, which was perhaps better than go;ng into the general measure. Mr. BROWNLOW presented a petition from the msltsters of Lurgan, praying a reduction of Duty on Malt to the same extent as in Scotland. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved for leaVe to bring in a Bill to authorize the sale of the " City Canal." The Right Hon. Gen tleman said it was now an annual loss to the coun try of something more than 1,2001.; it originally cost. about 30 years since, •168,0001., and after try ing it all this time, and finding it a losing concerti, the House, perhaps, would not think, when he in formed it that an offer was made of 120,0001., that a very improvident bargain had been made. The Honourable Member for Montrose had, a few evenings since, recommended the sale of the Caledonian Canal, he (the Chancellor of the Ex chequer) could only say, if as good an offer was made he should have no hesitation in bringing in a Bill for that purpose; he likewise considered it would be beneficial to the trade of London. Mr. WARBURTON and Mr. HUME were of opinion the property ought to be disposed of by public auction, it was impossible for any person to know the value of property in London. It might be a fair price, but as Hudibras said, " What was the worth of any thing, but just as much as that will bring."—( Laugh ter.) Mr. HERRIES thought that the offer made by the West India Company, for this property, an advantageous one to the public. Mr. P. THOMPSON was of opinion it would be a great injury to the trade of London if this Canal was to pass into the hands of the West India Dock Company. Mr. IRVING and Mr. MABERLY made a few ob servations. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied, after which leavg was given, and the Bill was brought in and read a first time. ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE. Mr. Secretary PEEL moved that the House do, at its rising, adjourn till Tuesday, the 28th instant.— Carried. GREENWICH HOSPITAL BILL. The order of the day for the third reading of this Bill having been read, Sir G. COCKBURN moved the insertion of a clause by way of rider on the Bill, to prevent any Catholic who might be hereafter a member of the Board of Admiralty, and consequently a Commis sioner under this Bill, from interfering in the disposal of the presentations and livings attached to the Hospital. . Mr. TRANT inquired whether the Chancellor of the Exchequer knew of any other Board of which Catholics might be members, and which had the disposal of ecclesiastical patronage ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied in .the negative. The clause was then agreed to, and the Bill was read a third time, and passed. The House went into Committee on the Clerk of the Pleas (Ireland) Bill. . - . _ After a few words from Mr. M. Dawson and the CHANCELLOR of the ExcnEQtJEtt, the amendments were agreed to, the House resumed, the report was brought up, and ordered to be received on the 4th of May. LIFE ANNUITIES BILL. SILK TRADE. Mr. COURTENAY brought in a Bill to irn pose certain duties upon the imp ortat i on o f S i l k Goods, and to allow a drawback upon the exporta tion thereof. Mr. FYLER said, he should give no opposition to the Bill in this stage. He was only anxious now that it should be printed, in order to afford the country an opportunity of knowing its details; and he should certainly hereafter give all the opposition in his power to the principle of this Bill. The Bill was read a first time, and it was ordered to be read a second time upon Tuesday, the 28th of April, and to be printed. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, awl the House adjourned at Half-past Six o'clock to Tuesday se'nnight, the 28th of April. SINGULAR NARRATIVE. An awful affair was,on Monday the Gth inst, brought to light at Marsden, a small manufactur ing village in the West Riding of the county of York, the following narrative of which may be relied on as correct, having been committed to ; writing from the dictation of one of the parties intimately connected with the circumstance : On the 3d of November last, throe young men, of the names of George Proston, Joseph. Becket, and David Haythorn, left Dewsbury, to go, as they said, to Manchester in search of em-, ployment. That evening they stopped at a, place near Marsden, and on the following day two of them, Proston and Haythorn, returned to Huddersfield, Proston being without a hat. Since then Proston has left the country, and the two gave it out that Becket had proceeded on wards to America. On Sunday last Becket's father was accosted by Haythorn, who said he, was come to make a full disclosure about his son Joseph, supposed to have sailed for Ame-, rica ; that he had had it on his mind a long time, ever since the 4th of November, and could' bear it no longer. He said that himself; Pros ton, and Becket, slept in a barn at Pilgrim's Cot. on the night of the 3d of November, and - early in the morning of the 4th they set off" to seek work at Manchester. When they came to Marsden they called at a house, and , each bought a pennyworth of bread, and the, woman of the house let them wash themselves. Then they went forward to the toll-bar at the , Mount beside at which bar they , each purchased a pennyworth of gingerbread.— Then they agreed to. go to the top of the hill to see if they could perceive Dewsbury ; and when , on the top, they noticed at some distance below an old flint engine, and went towards it suppos ing it was a house, where they could purchase• some provisions ; but when they got to it they' found it to be an old engine -house, with all the doors walled up and the window-frames of cast; iron. Proston then took a stone, broke a win dow-frame, and went in ; staid a minute or two, and came out. Then Becket went in, Proston, followed him directly, and in about a minute called on Haythorn for help. Haythorn got through the window, and found Proston sus pended by a piece of timber over the mouth of a pit. He got hold of one of his (Proston's) . hands, but he desired him to let that go, until, he secured himself better with the other, or, if, he could not do that, to let two perish, and the third go home and tell. He, however, got, Proston out, and they went back to Hudders field by a .different way to that they came. At , Huddersfield, Proston bought a leathern cap, having lost his hat at the engine-house, and they . parted, previously agreeing not to disclose the secret of Becket's death, because, as Proston said, they should be suspected of .having done_' something wrong. After making this declaration Haythorn was placed in custody, and Becket's father and uncle immediately proceeded to - Marsden, and about twelve o'clock at night arrived at the spot pointed out by the informer. Having procured assist ance, they lowered a number of candles, and b y their light could plainly perceive the body' of a man ,lying on his back at the bottom of the pit or shaft, which .was about sixty yards deep. It is what is called a balance shaft, and was sunk for the purpose of conveying away the soil during the driving of the great canal tunnel under Stan hedge: From the bottom of the shift ran a drift, to the distance of three or four hundred yards, emerging at the foot of the hill, on t h e open common ; and as there was no winding gear ht the pit head two young men on Monday morn ing were induced to proceed up tht drift, for the purpose of bringing the yaway ; they accordingly went up, and htving arrived at the bottom of the • shaft, f'o'nd a body with the fea tures entirely oblitet - ited. The body lay on its back, with the left arm extended, and the right compressed to the side, and two hats under it. The dress exactly corresponded with that in which Becket left home. The body was in such a state, that it could not be removed until it had, been sewed in a pack-sheet. It was then CCM« veyed to an uninhabited toll-house on the Old road,. where it lay until Thursday, when an in quest was held by Michael Stocks, jun, and a respectable Jury, who, after hearing a repetition of Haythorn's confession, toge,Aber with other evidence corroborative of it, pronounced a ver,- diet to the effect that-....(c The body of J. Becket had been found dead, but how he came by his death no evidence appeared." Last week at Barnstaple di e quay Fits covered On the motion of the CH ANCELLOR o f t h e EN...
