A very numerously attended meeting of Liberal Members was held on Saturday at Lor d JOHN Rue- MILL'S house, in Chesham - place, to con sider the course to be take!? in the approaching discussions on Sir Ro- BERT PEEL'S proposals. We understand that Lrd Joill,r R USSELL addressed the meeting, pointi n g o ou t the danger to the measure that mi g ht arise from an amendment in Committee for immediate repeal of the corn-laws, which might be supported by ''the protectionists, for the purpose of throwing a difficulty in Sir ROBERT PEEL'S way, and, being car ried by a majority combined of free-traders and protec tionists, might eau e Sir R. PEEL to throw up the Measure. We are told that the most perfect unanimity prevailed as to the necessity of the Liberal party doing everything in their power to pass thatpart of Sir R. EEL'S PEEL'S measure which concerns c orn as quickly as pos- Bible, and in thinking that, though immediate free trade is corn would be preferable to its fulfilmen t in February, .849, es to still it would not be right, under presen t circum stances, the slightest delay in passing Sir ROBERT Para. 's measurebyan amendment for immediate repeal. began The Membersshortly o rtl assemble at twelve, and the meeting broke up who attended were Mr. Macaulay, Sir George Lord Palmerston , one. Among those Grey, Hr. Labouchere, 72 3 19 1, Mr. F. T. Baring, Mr. O'Connell, Sir William Lord ndarcus Hill, Mr. misizrth, Mr. Bernal, Strut!, Thornely, sir, George StrricklGs.iiabds,ol4%. Mr, THE tison, Mr. J. O'Connell, Mr. Leader, the Earl of Shel burne, Sir Thomas Wilde, Mr. Tufnell, the O'Conor Don, Lord Harry Vane, Mr. Hayter, General Morri son, &c. &c. This unanimity at such a crisis is of the greatest im portance, and will afford satisfaction to all the friends of free trade. But it was only what might have been ex pected; any other line of policy would be inexpedient and dangerous. The whole force of the Liberal party must support Sir ROBERT PEEL in his present difficulties they must keep the main point in view, and not play into the hands of their enemies by differing about trifles. The Minister has conceded more than ever was expected ; he dese rves, therefore, the unanimous support of the whole Liberal party throughout the country, and the vote of every Member who advocates the removal of one of the most grievous burdens that ever afflicted a community. Every Member who would reject repeal, because it is delayed for three years, ought to be regarded as an enemy to the cause. rows columns, defeating the best combinations, reviving the fanaticism of the Arabs, appointing Khalifas to organise war against us, terrifying by executions and merciless razzias the tribes who have not yet taken part in the revolt, and who have been left exposed to his sudden attacks. Twice already has the Emir penetrated into the interior part of the culti vated portion of the country, and been able to pass through it without obstacle, although flying before our troops; he was c ome up with only once , and w hi c h was unable to execute anything decisive. Now, for that by an exhausted cavalry , the third time, he leaves the desert after a feigned retreat, and menaces th e p rovince of Titteri, which borders on that of Algiers. The last accounts announce, in fact, that Marshal Bugeaud was about to proceed to Boghar with a portion of the disposable troops, to check the bold attempts of the Emir on that side. The recent disaster of the column of Constantine in the mountains of Bou-Taleb, has not been without influence over this new enterprise of the Emir, for after this cruel event Medeah might have been uncovered. In fact, Lieutenant General Badeau, commandant of the province of Constantina, who gave his useful co-operation to the Marshal with the column of Setif, commanded by Ge neral D'Arbouville, was to return with this column to the province, to till up the blank occasioned by the lids* hors de combat of a column which has lost 1,200 muskets, and has half its men in the hospitals. Abd-el-Kaderjudged that the moment was favourable to menace us towards the centre of our possessions, and, as a first success, he has ruined the Bhanians, a tribe on the skirt of the desert, which had sub mitted to us, and which even habitually sent its prime is assist us in our expedition in the south. The three attempts of the Emir against the interior were evidently with a view of penetrating in the province of Algiers, and there accom plish a sudden and rapid invasion, not, without doubt , wit h the hope of m aintainin g hi mself there , b ut to p roduce the great moral effect which such an event would not fail to pro duce in France and in the whole of Algeria. • He has not been able to succeed on the Orleansville side, as the rising of the Chelif might present an obstacle or compromise his re treat : lie has, besides, been followed with much activity by our columns, for latterly General Lamoriciere, with the dif ferent columns of the province of Oran, conjointly with the troops of Nfarshal Bugeaud, gave pursuit to him on the Mina. General Badeau having set out for Setif, the field towards Medeah was open to the Emir, and the more so as the ob stacle of the Chelif does not exist on that side. It may easily be conceived, therefore, that the danger must have been press ing to have called the Marshal in person to the spot. We rely firmly on the indefatigable activity of Marshal Bu geaud,and his great knowledge of the nature of the war and the tactics of the Emir will furnish him with expedients to prevent the enemy from putting his foot on the ridges of the little Atlas which borders the horizon of Algiers." Muller, the assassin of M. Len, was beheaded at Lucerne on the 31st ult. On the same day expired the term of delay for the payment of the indemnity of 400,000 Swiss livres„ as the condition of the amnesty in favour of the political pri soners. The Committee appointed to collect this sum has in formed the Government, that it has been able to raise only 220,000 livres, and has entreated it to accept of that amount. The question will probably be brought before the Grand Council.

The forcing the men to sign the false entry in the log is put down by Mr. JMRVIS to the account of that cunning which always accom panies madness. But what does he say to the fact of the captain having navigated his vessel in safety to Fayal, and from Fayal to England ? Could a madman—that is to say, a man incapable of distinguishing right from wrong (for such only are entitled by law to be acquitted on the ground of insanity)—could a madman have done this ? At a'l events, there must have been a marvellous method in his madness. Never has there been a verdict given more contrary to evidence, and we trust that this case, fortu nately unconnected with politics, and, therefore, a case to which all our legislators and juris-consults can apply their minds without prejudice, will have the effect of drawing the attention of the Legislature to the subject. so that some remedy may be provided for this crying evil. The task of providing this remedy, as it strikes us, 's by no means a difficult one. We would suggest that, in all criminal cases in which it is intended to set up the plea of insanity, the question of insanity should be tried and decided on substantively before the trial of the in dictment ; or, perhaps it might be better still, to have it argued on demurrer, taking care, however, that such demurrer should not be considered as admitting the truth of the crime charged, so as to deprive the prisoner of the right to have the case investigated, thus leaving it to the Judges to decide the validity of the plea. At all events we would suggest the propriety of enacting, that in no case shall the plea of insanity be considered as proved unless it shall be shown either that the prisoner had been, before the commission of the crime, under restraint as an in sane person, or that measures had been taken before a e commission of the crime to place him under such re straint ; or that, on being brought up to plead, it shall be evident to the Court, after hearing medical evidence, that the prisoner is at that moment in such a state of mind as to be unfit to undergo a trial. When men engaged in a good cause lay down propo sitions which they consider grounds for their motives of action, they generally adduce proofs to confirm their assertions. They do not call upon the public to take all their principles as axioms, but defend their case by legitimate reasoning, and leave their antagonists the opportunity of refuting them. The very opposite course is pursued by the party who advocate restrictive and prohibitive laws in reference to the importation o foreign grain. For instance, they affirm as facts beyond doubt, that the repeal of the corn-laws will lower the rank of our peasantry, and throw thousands upon thousands of acres out of cultivation. But here they stop. No problem or proposition follows—conclusion there is none—the words " which was to be demonstrated" are not to be found in their vocabulary, and for the best reason in the world, that evidence would destroy their theory. The question then naturally arises—what has Protection done for the English or Irish peasantry? Are they superior in comforts to those of France, or Holland, or Germany, or to the peasantry of any civilised country in Europe ? Men, with large families, are doomed to live on Bs. a week, they are denied the use of butcher's meat, they can enjoy only bread and water, their children have barely rags to cover their nakedness, and the mothers are often half famished, by depriving themselves of food to hush the cries and allay the hunger of their starving children. The country is studded over with workhouses, and some six or seven millions sterling a year are expended in sheltering and feeding those who cannot provide for themselves. In Ireland the case is infinitely worse. Every humane mind shudders at the recital of Irish misery, and all foreigners unite in describing the people of that beautiful island as the most wretched on the face of the earth. But if protection were worth any thing—above all, if it really was productive of those blessings which such men as the Duke of RICHMOND and Sir JOHN TYRRNLL claim for it—lreland should be the best cultivated country in the world, and the " Green Isle " a visible and real Utopia—a Paradise in this sublunary region, and a model for all lands. It enjoys the benefit of the corn-laws to their full extent ; wheat cannot be imported at present at a duty less than 15s. the quarter ; oats and barley in proportion ; it rejoices in the sliding-scale like England, and is, there fore, saved from the effects of ruinous competition with foreigners. But, besides this great boon, it has ex emptions of an Extraordinary kind. Neither landlords nor tenants are subject to the property and income-tax ; they know nothing of assessed taxes, and till within the last few years the people never saw a workhouse or paid a penny of poor-rate. The Government pays one-half of the police expenses—a large army is maintained in the country, supplied with provisions and other neces saries from the productions of the land or the manufac tures of the country—church - rates, and other rates are of the most moderate description ; yet with all these protective laws and exemptions from bur dens, Ireland is not half cultivated ; some four millions of the inhabitants are on the brink of starvation ; men that cannot obtain employment or gain a liveli hood by honest means traverse the country in bands murdering and plundering the industrious, and nothing. in short, but a large military and constabulary force prevents a universal outbreak, and a total dissolution of the social system. Such are the blessings of protection. The country where it prevails to the utmost extent has become the reproach of England and a byword among nations. But for the extensive manufactures carried on in Great Britain, and viewed with such jealousy by the blind protectionists, affairs would be still worse ; for the operatives engaged in these great national undertakings, not only increase the demand for agricultural pro ductions to an incalculable extent, and throw new land into cultivation, but they also draw large supplies from the sister island ; yet, even here the land is badly cultivated, for no other reason that can be assigned by impartial ob servers but this miserable delusion called protection. The farmers have long reckoned that the corn-laws would give them something like a fixed price of from 565. to 663. the quarter for wheat ; they have cultivated the soil upon this security, and though the delusion has been fading away year after year, they still live in hope, and willnot exert themselves, like the other industrious classes, of the community. The Duke of SIITHIRLAND, who knows the difference between the agricultural systems pursued in England and Scotland, admits that in Eng land, great improvements are required, and affirms that the Scotch landowners, from the spirit of activity and enterprise which they have long displayed, will not endanger themselves by conceding at once the repeal of the corn-laws. Scotland is comparatively a poor and a barren country. And what. then, has enabled the farmers there to compete, with those of England and Ireland ?—Not protection, but ne cessity. And till the English are compelled "to be up and doing," like their brethren in the north—till they trust to their own industry and inventions, instead of leaning on a broken reed—all the protection that can be devised will neither improve the condition of the peasantry nor throw one acre of land into new culti vation. Happily for some thousands of our fellow-countrymen, both Houses of Parliament, on Friday, acquiesced in the suggestions contained in the first report of the Select Committee on Railways, to which suggestions, in our last, we made particular allusion. With the intention of so far facilitating matters as to open fresh channe's for the speedy employment of the destitute labourers on the other side of St. George's Channel, the House of Lords have very judiciously modified the amount of per tentage required to be paid upon deposits, before a Mil could be entertained, from ten to five per cent., in order to meet the extraordinary exigencies of the moment. In this manner it is resolved that before the first read- ing of a Bill, one-twentieth, or five per cent. only, will be requisite, and before the third reading another twentieth; a resolution:which amounts, in the end, to the original plan of operation, but which affords more ample time to collect the necessary means. In expressing our most earnest satisfaction at the promptitude which is thus evidenced by the Legislature, and its manifest anxiety to ameliorate the fearful and desperate condition of the industrious classes in Ireland, we are more especially desirous of repudiating the insinuation, and of particularising the fallacies, uttered by Mr. BERNAL. What peculiar " unfitness " or " in justice" there can be in giving priority to Irish railways we cannot, by the utmost ingenuity of reasoning, dis cover. A remarkable debility exhibits itself in one portion of our political constitution ; that portion is Ireland. Restoratives, or rather tonics and stimulants of a powerful description, are necessary to amend that unnatural debility, and to i .fuse new vivor into the emaciated part—to replace lassitude by nervous energy. For this purpose, no sane Government would surely direct the operation of those tonics, or of those stimulants, equally to the comparatively strong as to the positively weak portions; but would rather, by every means within their capacity, endeavour to animate with its pristine power the part so deteriorated and decayed. It would be a sin gular mode of rescuing the inhabitants of Drog heda from their foodless and helpless con dition to offer a plentiful supply of provisions in the furthest limits of Yorkshire;or of Westmoreland ; HAIIBURGH MAIL. BERLIN, JAN. 23.—The much, talked-of re-assembling of the Commission of the Zollverein, to continue the Congress of Carlsrnhe, is adjourned indefinitely. It ap pears to be intended to wait for the measures of the English Cabinet with respect to the corn trade. BRESLAU, JAN. 29. —The Evangelic Seminary for Schoolmasters was closed to-day by a royal commis sioner, after the Chief President of Siberia had published a notice stating that " His Majesty had ordered the itr - mediate dissolution of the Seminary ; his Majesty judg ing that the spirit which had lately manifested if self in the violations of discipline, a.id after the revival that had been made in consequence, was not compatible with the object of the Seminary for Schoolmasters, which should be otherwise provided for." BERLIN, JAN. 30.—Among the many totally false ac counts respecting the unlawful associations discovered in the province of Posen, and some parts of West Prussia, is that given by the Weser Gazette, of an attempt to surprise one of the gates of Grandenz.—Universal Prus sian Gazette. ST. PETERSBURG, JAN. 25.—The Emperor and the Crown Prince have always been opposed to compulsory conversions in the Baltic provinceq, but they have been scandalously deceived, and both of them are highly in censed at what has passed there. Perowski, a very el .ver man, is said to have been the principal mover. Gen ral Meyendorff is added to the C mmis,ion of Inquiry. Sevaral Russian priests and civil officers have undergone a most rigorous investigation. His Imperial Ilighnes; the Crown Prince, who is at the head of this commission, manifested his just sentiments by allowin g a German, who is married to a Russian w oman, to have his child baptised as a Protestant, a case which does not occur more than once in twenty-five years, and then only to parties of high rank. POSEN, JAN. 28.—This morning the Polish Casino in the Bazaar was closed, as that at Bromberg had been a week before. Nothing certain had transpired re specting the causes of this measure: It is known that a short time ago two Germans were refused admission, merely because they were Germans, and that some time since Count G. was blackballed, which does not give a very . favourable idea of the spirit of moderation prevailing in the society, but it is not probable that this fact has anything to do with the dissolution of the society. CASSEL, JAN. 29.—The Dorf Zeitung, which was last year prohibited in Hess* Cassel and afterwards per mitted, is now totally forbidden for the second time. —Hamburgh Papers, Feb. 3. and, nevertheless, this would be tantamount to the pro. position in question, namely, that by a priority of Eng. lish and Scotch railways, the Irish labourers would re ceive the readiest amount of assistance. Perhaps, in refutation of this singular argument, it will be sufficient to make two simple observations ; first, that a person incapable of procuring sustenance in his own immediate neighbourhood is not very competent to undertake the risks and expenses of a long journey; and, secondly, that the originators of any railway would prefer the comparatively insignifica❑t outlay of hiring workmen in their vicinity to the some what costly mode of obtaining " hands" from a very considerable distance. Schemes for the instanta neous relief of our Irsh brethren must be neither dubious nor inferential; the unhappy populace of that island must have no sinuosities to track out, no labyrinths to penetrate, before arriving at the boon which is to give them a chance of labour, of food, and of life. Their spades and mattocks must be called into use upon the very earth adjoining their ho. vels; the bushels of Indian corn or measures of maize, with which their bodily labour is to be recom pensed, must be heaped out upon their thresh holds. The compact in this case must be simple ; home-work for home•bread ; toil upon their native sod for a crust. Mr. BERNAL stated that " what the people of Ireland wanted at this moment was food, and not railways to Galway or the south." As an aphorism this is correct enough ; the ultimatum of tEe Irish wish is indubitably " food, and not railways," but then the food they desire is not the food of bene volence or charity ; their demands are just and honest —so much wages for so much manual labour —no more. Largesse, or the metings-out of generosity, are not what they require—they ask not for a gratuity, but for employment. And, as among the most reasonable means of affording them that em ployment, we regard the present facilitation of local railway Bills with peculiar pleasure, since, froin this very depression and impotence of the multitude, may arise their more rapid and permanent improve ment, and that out of the grave of penury may be exhumed the benignant spirit of regeneration. On Wednesday next Mr. O'CONNELL will bring before Parliament the terrible minutiae of famine and disease which now threaten to decimate the ranks of his fellow-countrymen. And with these melancholy details, we would fain anticipate, some still further incitement will be administered to the Executive department, so that the measures taken by Government with reference to Ireland may be neither relaxed nor delayed. It has long been a doubtful point among thinking men, whether the plea of insanity in Criminal cases ought to be left to the decision of an ordinary petit jury, and the result of the trial of Captain JOHNSTONE on Saturday will go far to settle the question in the negative. We wi I not go into the details of the crimes of this man. Our readers have, no doubt, been horrified by the perusal of the evidence given at the Thames Police court, and at the Central Criminal Court against him— evidence which proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that he was guilty of three delibe rate murders under circumstances of the most atrocious cruelty—that in every instance he tortured his victim before murdering him—and that there were many others of his crew whose lives he attempted, all of whom he wounded, and many of whom he has maimed for life. The counsel for the defence admits that JOHNSTONE was guilty of these crimes, and then proceeds to suggest to the jury that he must have been labouring under temporary insanity at the time he did so commit them. This is a suggestion merely, for not a single witness was called to prove what had been the state of mind of the prisoner at any former periol of his life; and Mr. JERVIS himself (JousisToNE's counsel) distinctly admits that at the pre sent moment his client is perfectly sane, so that the argument really amounts to this, that the atrocity of a crime shall be its excuse : commit murder simply and you will be hanged; commit murder, accompanied by every possible species of atrocity—torture your victim before you dispatch him—hack, hew, and stab his murdered corpse, and your counsel will suggest that it is impossible any but a mad man could be guilty of such atrocities, and an Old Bailey jury,actiug on the suggestion, will acquit you on the ground of insanity. On this principle GREENACRE should have been acquitted, because he mutilated the body of his victim after having murdered her. The Learned Gentleman, in his defence of JOHNSTONE, in sinuated that the crew were aware that they had been guilty of the mutiny, or that otherwise they would have attempted to have put JOHNSTONE under restraint. Suppose they had restrained him, would not that in itself have been an act of mutiny? Would not every man who had made the attempt have done so with a rape round his neck? Would not the fact of their having p.ed to re strain him lihvo justified, in the eye of the law, all JOHNSTONE'S previous proceedings, and would not every individual of that crew have bee n tri-d and couviete4 „f—•:y e, and perchance executed for— mutiny, on the e.idenee of JOHNSTONE himself ' so soon as the ship should have arriv e d i n an y p or t? Be it re membered, teo that these men in such a case could not ' possibly Lae produced evidence to show the neces• city of placing this man under restraint. As soon as he arrives in England he becomes sane, ac cording to Mr. Jzions's own showing ; and al though a mere suggestion of insanity from a counsel, without any evidence to support it, is considered by a jury sufficient to justify them in acquitting a cap tain charged with the murder of three of his crew, we doubt whether the same jury would so readily admit a similar suggestion as a justification for an acquittal of a crew charged with mutiny against a captain. That th e crew took no measures to r strain the captai h e n, tat th i a n t . , they submitted pat ientl y to his tyran w ny an , notwithstanding all the tortures so to a n n l d y flicted on them, they brought the ship with her valuable lading to her port in safety, Madrid journals of the 30th ult. have been received Most of them advert to the Speech of the Queen of ENGLAND, praise the liberal measures to which it refers, and consider they will be of great importance to Spain. The father of General NARVAEZ, the Conde DE CANADA ALTA, died on the 28th. The Funds were more firm. The Three per Cents. closed at 321 for cash, and 321 4 at sixty days, and the Fives at 23i for the same time. The Paris papers are almost entirely occupied with the discussions in the Chamber of Deputies, and com ments on the amendments. They are in general, how ever, destitute of interest. The last subject was the ex pedition to Madagascar, and in answer to questions from several Members, Admiral MACHALT said, in the arrangements made with England, the rights of France had been reserved, but that there was no idea at present of forming an establishment on the island. The objects of the expedition were to chastise the natives for in juries committed on French settlers, to explore the coast, and extend the influence of France in that quarter. It was possible that England might take part in the expedition, but at the same time it was fitted out so as to act alone. Some Members objected to such an expedition, which would cost some 8,000,900 f., and was intended for no practical purposes• Ultimately an amendment suggested by M. D'ANGE VILLE, a supporter of the Government, and to thefollow ing effect, was adopted :—" France does not refuse to make the sacrifices imposed upon her by such great in terests, but she reposes with confidence on the prudence of the Government that it will not multiply, without a well ascertained necessity, those serious and distant ex peditions." M. ST. PRIEST gave notice of an amend ment recommending the reduction of interest on Five per Cent. Stock. The following remarks on the posi tion and prospects of the French in Africa appear in the Journal des Debats ; they fully admit the difficulties caused by the indefatigable perseverance and skill of ABD-EL KA.DER:— " The situation of Algeria, without ceasing to be grave, and to call for serious attention, has at last ceased to inspire uneasiness. Considerable reinforcements were sent from France with remarkable celerity immediately after the disas ters of Sidi-Brahmin and Ain-Temouchen. The army found itself in a condition to contend against an almost general in surrection, and to keep it under, if it was not able to sup.. press it entirely. The native tribes, who had been excited to delirium by the intoxication produced by the two above named disasters, no longer think that the last hour of French domination has come, and they are beginning to return to submission, on seeing that all the calamities of war are aga i n about to fall on them. But Abd-el-Kader is there to inter pose with energy obstacles to the difficult task of our nurne- SUN, LONDON, MON DAY MORNING. FEBRUARI 9, 1846. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of Saturday Evening.) The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 6,000 bales, at full prices. Shares were steady. The sale of Shares yesterday by Messrs.

Sir Robert Peel's grandfather, at the latter period of his life, resided at Stratford, in this county. The house is still standing in the Broadway, and we believe is now occu pied by a fishmonger.—Essex Standard. The Marquis of Westminster has returned to Eaton Hall. His Lordship came to town to accompany his son, Lord Gilbert Grosvenor, to Portsmouth, where he has en tered on board the Grampus 50 gun frigate. Lady William Macnaghten has given up her intention of going to reside at Malta, having taken Surrey House, near Cumberland - gate , Hyde Park , for a term of years.

Sir George Murray, Master-General of the Ordnance, is improving in health It was very currently reported on Saturday that the Court of Directors f the East India Company were in pus sesion of accounts from Sir Henry Hardinge, of twelve hours later date than those published in the papers, and that these accounts are favourable.—Observer. It is said, in the military circles, that Colonel Cath cart is likely to succeed the late lamented Col. Gurwcod as Deputy Lieutenant of the Tower.—Observer. DRURY LANE THEATRE.—NoveIty after novelty dis tinguishes the management of this house We had a new opera last week, and, as the Risleys appear for the last time to-morrow, we are to have a new ballet on Thursday. The Pantomime is quite as attractive as ever, and the houses crowded every night. ExpaEs-;Es.—We received Sir Robert Peel's great commercial reform speech from the Express Edition of The S an, forwarded by the zeal of Mr. Rutherglen, new spaper agent in Glasgow, at eight in the morning on hursday (ten hours earlier than it would have reached by the ordinary course of mail). The public have been long indebted to The Sun for giving early information. So fat back as the time of the Reform Bill agitation, and onward till now, has this paper been earning for itself a foremost place in the political world for the speedy diffusion of important intelligence. We also received an express copy of the new morning paper, the Daey News, but it did not reach us before Friday morning, twenty-four hours after we had received The Sun.—Stilling Observer. DELAY OF THE LONDON AND - BIRMINGHAM MORNING TRAIN.—MANCHESTER, FRlDAY.—Yesterday the train which left London at a quarter past six, and arrives in Birmingham about half-past ten, did not arrive till half-past twelve, in consequence of an accident which happened to the engine by the breaking of one of the tubes. FOLKESTONE.—The fishing trade during the past week has been very prosperous, one boat bringing no less than 15,500 mackerel, the produce of one night's toil. They were sold on the beach for 1501, and sent to Billingsgate market. This is the largest quantity ever known to have been brought in here by one boat.—Dover Chronicle. The musical world is threatened with a great loes— no less than that of the composer Donizetti, who is suffering under affection of the brain (ernollissement du cerreau) brought on by mental excitement, which has reduced him to a state of imbecillity.

We wish that we could command space for the insertion of some of the capital verses sand songs abounding in " Tipperary hall." There is one, he Ves tiges of Creation," of which we will affirm that Canning, in his days, never did anything better. It is well worthy of the author of the " Loves of the Triangles ;" and we would strongly recommend our readers to beg, borrow, , or even buy Bentley, for the sake of perusing it.—Cambridge Independent Press. THE HISTORY OF MARGARET CATCUPOLE, A SUFFOLK GIRL.—A third and cheaper edition of this remarkable work, by the Rev. It. Cobbold, of Wortharn, Suffolk, has just been published by Mr. Colburn, complete in a single volume, with all the illustrations, price 10s. 6d. bound. The great success which this work has met with must he attributed, we con ceive, as much to the sound and impressive moral which it convey s , as to the great interest of the narrative. In the present cheap an l elegant edition it will doubtless meet with a greatly extended sale. Compressed into one volume (as the Britannia observes) this biography will probably become a standard work, for altogether Margaret Catchpole was sufficiently remarkable in character and fortune to take her place among the celebrated personages of times past. .. .. 56 ....106 108... .... 79% 79 .... .. 10"-.. - 7%M•••••• 33 a FOREIGN RAILWAYS.

At the Winchester Petty Sessions, held on Tuesday the 27th ult., James Davy, of Upton, a lad about 18 years of age, was charged with an assault of a very aggravated cha racter on a young woman and he was committed to take Lis trial at• the next assizes. The constable of Upton forthwith conveyed him to the New Inn, where he remained for the night.. On the following morning preparations were made for conveying him to gaol. The constable, it seems, was to ride on horseback, and the prisoner to walk, with a prospect of a lift now and then, should his behaviour justify such an indulgence. The horse was at the door, but at the moment of starting the constable remembered that he had a great coat in the inn ; he, therefore, requested Davy to hold his horse while he went for his coat. Whither her Majesty's peace officer staid to fortify his inner man with a glass of Collard's home-brewed, as well as his outer with the great coat, or the prisoner considered he was no longer a prisoner, we know not; but on the constable's return, there stood the horse, but Davy was non est inventus." The fellow con trived to get clear off, and still continues at large.— Some? set County Gazette. THE ROYAL LACE.—This beautiful fabric, manufac tured by a Nottingham firm, is most beautifully fine, and the patterns in the best taste ; the whole is the closest counter part of the finest Mechlin lace, and may be considered the greatest triumph ever obtained by British enterprise and perseverance. The application of the strongest lens shows no difference between the production of Nottingham and that of Malines ; this, and the pati onage of her Majesty (who was the first purchaser) has occasioned it to be called the Royal Mechlin Lace. It has taken more than four years to con struct the machines which produce this most delicate fabric. —Nottingham .Review.

Our readers may recollect a paragraph in our paper of November 26, 1845, describing the case of a " genu ine philanthropist," an aged widow living in the small island of Rona, between Skye and the mainland of Applecross, whose cottage served for a beacon-light to mariners. The widow keeps a lamp burning in her window at night, by which vessels are enabled to enter the harbour with safety, and many a cold and shivering seaman has been indebted to her for warmth and suste nance. The excellent person alluded to, Mrs. Mackenzie, lost her husband by drowning about twenty years ago ; yet, by industry and frugality, she has brought up a family on a small farm, and has, as our Lochcarron correspondent remarked, " saved more lives than Davy's belt, besides thousands of pounds to the underwriters." The case was accidentally discovered by a gentleman of our acquaintance, and communicated to us without the knowledge of Mrs. Mackenzie. Fortunately, the para graph attracted the notice of a benevolent gentleman in Edinburgh—Charles Cobbold, Esq., Broughton I'ark— who wrote to the Committee of Llyod's on the subject, strongly recommending the case of the widow, now seventy years of age. Nfr. Cobbold's application was at first fruitless, but the following communication,' since received, shows that it was not made in vain ; Lloyds, Jan. 22, 1846. _ _ _ " Sir,—l believe you were info;med that the Com mittee of Lloyd's, as a Board, were unable to meet your appeal in behalf of the Widow Mackenzie. but that some inquiry would be made in connexion therewith. - The result has been most satisfactory,. and the printed pa,ta graph is confirmed by a local clergyman. Under these circumstances, the Committee, as individuals, assisted by some members of Lloyd's, have raised the sum of twenty pounds for the benefit of the widow. I have written to "this effect to Mr. C. Elder, Lloyd's agent at Isleornsay, Skye, that he may carry out the views of the suo scribers. I have given you this gentleman's address, in case you or any equally benevolent person may feel disposed to enlarge this sum. Thanking you most cordially for having indirectly called my attention to ,o deserving a case, I have the honour to be, your obedient In transiniving to us the letter, — Mr. Cobbold justly remarks—" The subscribers and gentlemen of the c,mn inittee, lam confident, will never have cause to regret having (in thus giving 201. to a poor old widow, seventy years of age) cast their bread upon the waters, for it will amply repay them." But Mr. Cobbold does not confine himself to words ; he has enclosed a one pound note in his letter, which we have had much pleasure in trans mitting to the Rev. Mr. Murray, Shieldaig, for the benefit of Mrs. Mackenzie. The case has also been ad verted to by the Messrs. Chambers, in their powerful journal, and we trust something more may yet be done to gladden the poor widow's lonely sea-beat cottage, and reward her meritorious conduct. —lnverness Courier. MILB )RNE ST. ANDREW.—We are sorry that two acts of incendiarism have been perpetrated in this parish. On the evening of Saturday last a stack of barley, on a farm of Mr. Biles, was discovered to be on fire, and was entirely consumed. A stack of wheat, standing on an adjoining farm, was then seen blazing, and was likewise destroyed. These outrages have caused the greatest alarm in the neighbour hood, and'we trust the incendiaries will speecily be brought to justice.—Somerset County Gazette. AVEBURY.-:-.MEETING OF LABOURERS.--On Monday evening, the 2d, a meeting of labourers took place in the Club-room of the Lion, at Avebury, for the purpose of pe titioning Parliament fit a total and immediate repeal of the corn-laws, and though only a few hours' notice had been given, and that a verbal one, at the time appointed full three hundred labourers had crammed themselves into the room, and considerably above a hundred stood on the out side. Wm. Edwards gave: the men a short address, which was well received. One mind seemed to actuate the whole of the company, and a determination to think and act for them selves was manifested by every one. What added to the interest of the meeting, was the conduct of the chairman of the Protection Society, George Brown, Esq., of Avebury, who it appears had strained every nerve to get a petition signed of an opposite character, but failing in his attempts had adopted the Duke of Newcastle's line of conduct, and dreaming he had a "right to do what he liked with his own," turned off from his services an honest, respectable wheel wright, because he would not sign hishand to a petition con trary to his conscience. But this line of conduct, so far from intimidating the Avebury men, only had a directly contrary effect. They rallied in the club-room, and being aware that their proceedings were watched, and spies sent to the meet ing for the purpose of reporting their conduct, they first hooted the spWs out of the room and then proceeded with the business which had called them together. We need scarcely add that the petition was numerously signed.— Wiltshire In dependent. MAGAZINES—(CONTINVED ),, GOLB URN 'S UNITED SERVICE 111.
