SPENSER. journed debate on the first reading of the Irish Protecti f Life and Property Bill, were re-appointed for Friday. Mr. CHRISTIE then moved, pursuant to notice, for copies 1 of ad correspondence between W. DAY, Esq., last Assistant- Commissioner of the Poor-laws and the Poor-law Commis sioners, and the Secretary for the Home Department, relative to his involuntary resignation of his Assistant Poor-law Corn missionership, and of ail minutes relative to Mr. DAY'S re signation, and to the appointment of Colonel Wade as his successor ; also, that it should be an instruction to the Com mittee on the Andover Union to inquire into all the circum stances under which Mr. DAY was called upon to interfere. Mr. C. PoWELL seconded the motion. Sir J. GRAHAM would offer no objection to the motion, thinking it highly desirable that investigation should take place into the matter. The motion was then agreed to. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE then moved for a Select Committee to inquire into the allegations of the petition of Mr. Jonathan Duncan on the mal-administration of affairs in the General Post-office. If it was not for the mal-administration in the General Post-office, the public of London might have their letters delivered an hour and a half earlier than they were at present ; and this assertion he would undertake to prove. 'I lie mal-administration of which he had to complain was not of y es terday, but ninny years' standing. pain was ready to prnvc, that the private undertaking, called " Kelly's Post office Directory," was a job that gave great dissatislaction to the officers in the Post-office, and was highly detrimental to the public service. Mr. WILLIAms seconded the motion. Mr. CARDW ELL defended the course adopted by the Post-office authorities, and opposed the motion. Mr. MoFFArr supported the motion, being convinced that inquiry into the course pursued by the Post- office would tend to the public good, inasmuch as it would lead to some alterations in the mode of conducting business at that great establishment. andN kL r the Chancel loruncom besc Mr. t. D After some observations from Mr. Protheroe, Mr. Brother ton, o n of the e Christie, Ex ch eciDulerr., is Baring,F. B.otVaey . T in reply, The House divided, and the motion was lost b of 43, there being for Mr. Dun combe's motiony a majority 92. 49, and against Mr. S. O'BRIEN then moved, pursuant to notice, that after the present session all inquiry with respect to Irish Railway Bills, which at present took place in London before both Houses of Parliament, should be proceeded with in Ireland. Mr. F. FRENCH seconded the motion. After some observations from Sir R. Peel, Mr. C. Powell, Mr. Wakley, Lord Claude Hamilton, Colonel Connolly, Mr. Maurice O'Connell, and several other Members, the motion was lost, npon a division, there being 25 in favour of it and 69 against it. The Polling Places (Ireland) Bill went through Committee, and the House adjourned. The enthusiastic burst of joy and congratulation dis played by the National Guards of Paris, and indeed the population generally, on the safo return of Louts PHILIPPE to the Palace of the Tuileries, forms an agree able and, to a certain extent, a novel feature in the life of that able and distinguished Prince. Several of the former attempts at assassination were not isolated acts, nor did they fail to excite sympathy among numerous classes who had been disappointed by the results of the July Revolution—the failure was rather regretted than the wickedness of the deed ; repetitions of the horrible crime were therefore feared, and all good men—all anxious for the peace of Europe and the advancement of civilisaticn—nay,:even the Great Powers of the Continent, hat hesitated long to acknowledge his title—were pecu iarly anxious for the safety of a life so necessary for :he consolidation of a general peace. The sentiments that now prevail throughout France, as far as intelli- gence has reached this country, and the fact is honour able to the people, are of a very different character. Spontaneous and unanimous expressions of welcome greeted his MAJESTY on his arrival at the Palace, not the formal tributes usually paid by the legislative bodies and public functionaries, by judges and placemen and priests, but the sincere welcome of the middle classes — all the respectable traders and shopkeepers of Paris — the armed citizens who have the deepest interest in good government, and even of the unarmed multitude, too apt to look forward to change as the only chance for better- ing their condition. The KING, therefore, who has en dured so many vicissitudes and risked so many dangers, who has persevered in a system of government adopted when he stood almost alone, might therefore evince no ordinary degree of emotion when such manifestations not only displayed attachment to his person and family, but an adherence to that moderate and cautious policy which at first was so unwelcome to the worshippers of blood-stained heroes and ruthless victors, and which has in time given France more real and lasting power than perhaps she ever enjoyed. This is the greatest triumph yet obtained by the Napoleon of peace, and it has come, too, at a most opportune period for the Government—the eve of a general election. On such occasions the Op position attribute almost every political movement favourable to the Ministry, and even what may appear a casual occurrence to some plot or trick on their part with a view to influence the electors ; but here is an event which they cannot pervert to their purpose. M. Gunar and the wood-ranger, who played so well into his hands, could not by any possibility be accomplices. The madman or the miscreant missed the KING by a miracle; the narrow escape of a family, admitted by all parties in France, even those most hostile to the dynasty, to be a model of domestic virtue and happiness, has given additional effect to the scene, and will contribute not a little to the return of Members favourable to the policy which the SOVEREIGN has so long and so advantageously maintained. It is worth at least twenty votes to M. GuizoTi and, therefore, taking all circumstances into account it would be difficult to point out any general election in France so likely to be favourable to the peace of the world. M. TRIERS cannot find out any real grievaece to press upon the attention of electors. Agreeably to his amendment, the Chamber, with the concurrence of the Cabinet, voted eighteen millions to purchase timber for the construction and repair of ships of war above the sum recommended by the Naval Committee. He can find no fault with GUIZOT'S policy in Greece, where French interests pre dominate. Spain, though undergoing constant transi tions, is still under the tutelage of the French Court and Cabinet ; the ouragecus claims of President POLK, and the wanton aggressions of the south-western States of America on a republic which French poliey must at all risks protect, have cut short TRIERS'S phrases about the natural alliance of France with the United States and the bounden duty of every French Ministry to cul tivate the friendship of the young republic, in order to protect the world against the insolent dominion of Eng land on the seas. As for England herself, not a whisper comes from that quarter against her ; the entente cordiale has been adopted by the pacific TRIERS as a watch. word, and PALMERSTON and he are resolved to rival ABERDEEN and CUIZOT in allaying national animosities. These are all very favourable symptoms for the peace of the world, and joined with the alarming and diaboli cal, though fortunately harmless, deed committed at Fontainbleau, and the hearty congratulations of Franco, • must afford no small consolation to the venerable Prince , who has now fur sixteens years guided with such dex terity the destiny of France. Another most unforseen delay bas arisen from the circumstance of there not being sufficient Members pre sent on Monday to form a House. Every one must deeply regret this casualty, as public business is thereby pro crastinated until Friday evening, at the very earliest. The evil consequences which must result from such a lamentable succession of obstacles in the way of legisla tion are not to be calculated—they defy computation. Spread of scarcity in Ireland ; increased stagnation in the commercial transactions of the empire generally ; impunity to agrarian assassins ; fresh opportunities for the extension of pestilence in those portions of the sister country e try most afflicted with d ear th—th ese , an d a multi tudef other mi nor , b ut sequential effects must tend to render the so c i a l re d emption of many portions of Great Britain more and m ore impracticable. Fit undoubtedly, th e protectionist gen tlemen of all most the c s a ft u e s r e c o ls f us t s his of grievous sluggishness, us s t l e u m gg s ish t n i e ll se, faci ng c l ause with the most Pig-headed perti nac it y ; then arose quint opposition t o th e movements of the Caabilnuebtleen the part of the Irish representatives —a party equally stolid in their det erm i nat i on to retard the progress Legislature. Of thi s b e lli gerent spirit the hiatusof of Mon. the day is but a single insta nce among a thousand, but that one is more glaring and mor e intolerable, perhaps, an all its predecessors put together. The c: origin of this is as manifest as the proceeding itself is paltry. Some among our Con tempararies, with what we cannot but re gird as a wilful misprision of judgment, actually attribute the non-formation of a House on Monday to the precon certed indolence of Ministers. That is a wretchedly un stable accusation, nor can it escape evaporation under the scrutiny of a moment. First, is it founded upon our experience of the present Ministry? Secondly, is it con ceivable, regarding the matter us to its capability of pro ducing advantage to their cause? Thirdly, does it tally with their anxiety to shorten the Easter recess? Fourthly, is it compatible with any one act of theirs which has transpired during the present ses:ion? To all these, and a score of other inquiries of a similar t:aidency, any man with two ounces of brain in his head must, in sheer honesty, return a most emphatic nega tive. The imputation is freposterously untenable. But looking at the broad and simple facts of the case, the deduction forces itself upon our conviction : not to the Ministers is that empty House attributable, but to the opposition of the Irish Members. How do thein incorrigible facts orri gb i stand? Why, the list of representatives pre sent (and which list will be found in another column) shows that Mr. O'CONNELL and his colleagues unani mously absented themselves from St. Stephen's. Surely that circumstance is amply corroborative of our conclusions. Let not Parliament, however, deceive itself—the observa tion of the people is more than ever directed to its move ments at the present moment; and upon the character of those movements will depend its approval or its reproba- Richard Bentley, New Burlington street.

JUNIUS has already commemorated the discrimi nation visible in all popular conclusions; what held geed in his tirne hold= good in ours—fh• pnhlic will recognis who are the culpable Members in tee Loeer House, lulu withdraw their confidence from them accordingly. Whether it be..the Ministry, or the Protection party, or the Opposition benches, or the Irish representatives, who cause the present stagnation in affairs, the people will see, and seeing, they will act. We ourselves have no in tention whatever to cast obloquy upon individuals with out the most thorough consideration of the matter ; we do not pretend to fix evil motives upon any section of the Legislature—we reprobate actions for the deplorable con sequences which they originate; we have no predelictions for either men or measures, saving inasmuch as they appear of a friendly or a hostile disposition towards the welfare of the populace. Animated with these senti ments—and with these sentiments alone—it is with the most inexpressible anxiety that we observe the conduct pursued by our rulers in the House of Commons. .ts far back as November last Government became aware of the fact that its utmost energies would Le necessary for the maintenance of prosperity in the empire. Agitation—that great Architnedian fulcrum —had obtained a spot upon which it might display its fullest vigour, and move the heart and the reason of the million. It did so. England and Ireland were sub jected to its influence, but in a different manner : a great truth made its way with scarcely perceptible, but prodigious strides—it permeated, as it were, the whole mind of the nation. Then it was that the Prime Minister of Great Britain proclaimed himself a convert to that mighty truth and the champion of those glorious principles; then it was his colleagues acquiesced in his decision, his quondam antagonists merged themselves into the number of his most resolute allies, his novel and heterogeneous band was kneaded into a concrete mass, and stamped with a signet of uncommon strength the signet of popularity; then it was that a triumphant division confirmed that truth and those principles as henceforth fundamental parts of our Constitution. But certain as that moral victory was, and is, in an abstract sense, in a practical sense it was anything but achieved. The death of mono poly was destined to be a hard and lingering one; it was to rejoice in acute paroxysms and violent contortions before its final expiration. These circutn-• stances have transpired—Monopoly is dead—and the mourners and executioners have withdrawn for a period until an opportunity arrives for the funeral obsequies. Such in matter-of-fact are the occurrences which have marked the progress of opinion in England—a progress more of jubilation than otherwise. With Ireland, on the contrary, affairs have marched forward with mourn ing, and woe, and desolation. Her villages have been beaten into the dust; her peasantry have been driven like dogs into the ditches; her more easy-going citizens have been expatriated in crowds by the panic; and, as the whole world knows, pestilence, and famine, and help lessness, and murder have filled her whole population with sorrow and consternation. And how has the Legis lature acted under these circumstances, how is it acting at the present moment? Why every opportunity is seized by those who should most sedulously watch over the in terests of Ireland, to procrastinate the application of reme dies to her diseased constitution. Misery and crime are spreading with fearful celerity among her population ; burglaries are committed in the open daylight, by mobs scourged on by bodily distress ; the flames of incen diarism redden her skies, such as the one which recently occurred at Annacotty, while another wretched man at Cooga, is murdered in the highway, like so many previous victims. Yet this is the precise time when the representatives of that unfortunate island en deavour by every open opposition or petty subterfuge to retard the interposition of the Legislature in her behalf. Government dispatches 5001. towards the relief fund forming at Clonmel, and the Irish Members by an ac tion almost simultaneous keep aloof from the Parliament House, with a miserable hope (which, unhappily for all, has been realised) that the Commons would not muster in sufficient numbers to hold a sitting, and to expedite as far as possible the government of the realm. We have not language sufficiently powerful to express our sorrow and our indignation. The case of the unfortunate Danish claimants is to be again brought forward in the house of Commons on the 30th by Mr. HAWES. We trust that his appeal to the justice of the Government will be met in a spirit of honesty, and that at length means will be provided to liquidate the claims of those unfortunate persons, many of whom have been reduced to the lowest depths of poverty by the dishonesty, mean, pettifogging quibbling of various successive Governments. The Sovereign of ENGLAND IS bound by Magna Charta neither to sell, nor to delay, nor to deny justice—and our present Gracious SOVEREIGN has, as far as she herself is concerned, done all in her power to expedite justice being done to these claimants. In answer to an address presented to her MAJESTY on the 10th June, 1841, by the House of Commons, praying " that her MAJESTY would be graciously pleased to ad vance to the claimants the amount as ascertained by the Commissioners to be due, and assuring her MAJESTY that the House would make good the same." her MAJESTY, on the 21st June following, was pleased to return the following answer:— " It must at all times be my most earnest desire to attend to the wishes of the House of Commons, and I shall be ready to give effect to them in this instance, whenever the means shall have been provided by Parliament." Her MAJESTY therefore has done her part, but surely Magna Charta itself is little better than " a mockery, a delusion, and a snare," when a mere " red tape" beauro cracy, upon the plea that there are no special funds provided to liquidate those claims—a plea as false as it it is paltry—can thus violate with impunity one I.f its most important provisions, and render of no avail the willingness to do justice of the SOVEREIGN, and the decision in favour of those demanding it of repeated majorities of the House of Commons. These claims, it will be remembered, arise out of the seizure and confis cation of British property by the Danish Government in 1807, and were originally divided into three classes : the first being for loss of debts owing by Danish to British subjects, sequestered and confiscated ; the second, for the loss of goods seized on shore; and the third, for that ofships and cargoes taken within the Baltic. To the two first of these classes full compensation has been allowed by the Government. From the third class it has hitherto been withheld. The House of Commons, in the two successive sessions of 1838 and 1839, adjudged, by large majorities, that the claimants of the third class were equally entitled to compensation with the other two classee. It was thereupon referred by the Treasury to certain Commissioners to adjudicate and report upon the individual cases ; and, after a strict in vestigation of documentary and other evidence, 116 claims, to an amount in the whole of 225,0001., were, in 1840, reported as established. No steps being taken by the Government of that day towards the payment of the sums thus awarded, it was moved, on behalf of the claimants, on the 9th of June, 1841, that " the House should resolve itself into a Committee cf the whole House, to consider of an address to her MAJEsrY," which motion, though opposed by the Government, was eventually carried without a division. The next day the address to which we have before alluded was agreed to by the House of Commons, and on the 21st of June the QUEEN'S answer was returned. From that time to the present no attempt has been made by either the late or the present Governmt nt to give effect to the declared assent of her MAJESTY. Opposed as they are to each other on almost every other matter, both Whig and Tory officials have been hitherto united in this denial of justice, and it is only by the union of beau reaucrats of all parties in opposition to the frequently declared sense of the independent Members of both sides of the House that justice to these claimants listi been so long delayed. Let us hope, however that a better spirit is now in the ascendant, and that Sir ROBERT PEEL will do on this, as he has done on several recent occasions, sink the official In the at atesman, and ceaso to do injustice to these unfortunate claimants. The accounts from Madrid are to the 14th instant. Dispatches from General JOSE CONCHA, dated the 11th inst., had been received. He reports that he met the insurgent force under General IRIARTE, at Banoza, about four leagues from Astorga, on that day, that he engaged them, and totally defeated them, taking 165 prisoners, whom he sent to Lugo. The Governor of Vigo had reported to the Government that tranquillity had been completely reestablished throughout the pro vince. The Gazette of the 14th contains the appoint ment of Don AUGUSTIN AR3IANDARIZ to be Royal Commissioner of the Lank of ISABELLA IL It also contains a deem: reducing the number of stockbrokers in Madrid to• eighteen. The Madrid Bolsa was closed on Easter Monda: We have received the Paris papers of Sunday. The Illonileur contains the addresses presented by the Chain bers of Peers and Deputies, on Saturday, to the KING of the FRENCH, on his late providential escape from the assassin's aim, and his MAJESTY'S answers. Duke PASQITIER before introducing the Peers thus addressed the KING : "Sire,—l wait, not to make a speech to the King, b u t t o present to him the Chamber of Peers, until all th• members shall have entered, and it will be necessary for me to wait a long time, for they are very numerous. The sentiments of which their presence here offers you the expression are those of all France." _. . His MAJESTY replied:— " I appreciate the delicacy of the reserve which you impose on yourself; I am no less sensibly affected by the conduct of the Chamber of Peers. It knows how much the expression of its sentiments, always so precious to me, becomes the more so under this painful circumstance. Ido not speak of mpriclf . .. only ti,i;nk th!, cuffed, and it is very - - raid) ing to me to receive tnistresii proof of the affection of the Chamber of Peers towards me." Loud cries of " Vice le Roi" arose at the conclusion of his MAJESTY'S speech. M. SAUZET, the President of the Chamber of De puties, next addressed his MAJESTY in the following terms:— "Sire,—The entire Chamber comes to lay before you its emotions and its wishes. All opinions, all ranks, press fur- ward to hail your miraculous preservation, as they would close together to defend you, and to serve as a rampart be tween crime and you. Our language, Sire, is the faithful echo of the country. At this moment a loud cry of indigna tion and devotion resounds from one end of the country to the other. France, that ancient land of loyalty, sshospitable to the unfortunate, so generous even towards her enemies, rouses herself at the idea of these dastardly attempts, fioin which she believed herself to. b;... for ever free—(Cries of Vice le —but her confidence is not discouraged; she knows that a wretch may pollute her s,il, but cannot endanger her institutions or dishonour her renown. She knows that assas sins are to be found am•.ng:t the noblest of nations, as they might arm themselves against the best of Kings.—(Renewed cries of Vine le Roi.') " But He who guards kings and protects nations will not allow his designs to be thus thwarted; it is to him that be longs to maintain the great missions which He has given, and to protect the elected of nations with the inviolability of his power. He has visibly stretched forth his hand over your august person. Sire, we bless Providence, we congratulate the country, we congratulate that Queen whom we see always at your side, as a devoted companion who shares your dangers, and as an angel of virtue who wards them off—(Loud cries of Vice la 11 ine')—those princes to whom you with confi dence deliver over the future welfare of the country and our liberties ; we congratulate the royal child, for the protection raised over you is a promise to him that it will be permitted you to finish your task, to form his youth, and to prepare him by the instruction of your trials, your courage, and the atrec tion of your people, for the accomplishment of his high destinies." The speech of M. SAUZET was followed by a loud and prolonged burst of applause. His MAJESTY replied : "I am too much affected by all I hear, too deeply pene trated by the sentiments which you have just so warmly ex pressed of this numerous assembly which surround me, as press to andyo my u the family, my sons and my grand sons,which fill my heart. I well a t s o t e h x e Queen, leave it to your own hearts to conceive what is passing in mine, and which I cannot explain to you as I would wish.— (Cries of Vire& Roi.' ) You feel, without its being neces sary for me to say, what there is painful for me, not in the danger which I have incurred, but in the idea that my family were exposed to share those peril=. lam happy in sharing your hope that Divine Providence will continue to watch over us, and that there will only remain of those de plorable attempts the remembrance of the indignation which they excite, and the testimonies of affection and devoted ness which are poured out around me.— (Renewed cries of Vies le lidi.') France knows how much lam devnted to her. It is for her sake I wish to live, and all my days will be devoted to her happiness and her prosperity." The speech of his MAJESTY was delivered under feel ings of great emotion, and at its conclusion was hailed pith loud marks of acclamation. These papers likewise contain various details respect ing LECOMTE and his crime. " Lecomte," says the Journal des Debats, "arrived at Fontainbleau at two o'clock in the morning by the Nemours diligence, and after having remained a short time at an inn, where he drank two glasses of wine, and partook of some sight refreshment, he set cut to conceal himself in the forest, and stole into the inclosure, where he lay in wait for the King. He remained there the whole morning undisturbed, and completed his arrange ments, n t only for the commission of the crime which he contemplated, but also for escape, which he calculated he should be enabled to effect. On searching the inclosure faggots were found piled up against the wall in such a man ner as to form a series of stages, thus forming a sort of ladder to facilitate his ascent of the wall, which was directly oppo site the point from which he made his attack. But for the energetic conduct of Millet, it is probable the assassin might have escaped, Jumping from the walls of the inclosure he would descend into the forest, where, from his perfect ac• quaintance with the localities, he would have had a good chance of baffling pursuit." The following additional particulars are from the Con stitutionnel : " We have already announced that the Duke de Nemours the Prince de Joinville, and the Duke de Montpensier, were out hunting when the event occurred. This statement was correct, and we have received the following details :—At his last visit to Fontainbleau the King expressed his desire to join a hunt at his next coming. M. 11. Greffulbe, who has such a complete hunting establishment, was invited by his Majesty and the Princes to come and dine with the Royal Family on the 15th, and hunt in the forest on the 16th. The King, therefore, proposed to view a boar hunt during his drive ; and, in fact, the chase passed within fifty paces of the spot where he stationed his carriage. The boar made a double, and passed a second time be:bre his Majesty. The King alighted nimbly, saying to Count de Montalivet, laugh ing, ' Why don't you do as I do?' His Majesty was imine diately surrounded by about 200 of the country people, in the midst of whom he remained some time. When the King gave the order for returning to the palace, Millet, who rode in front, did not take the alley which led most directly to the palace, but a side one, which comes out at the Parquet d'Avon. If the ordinary one had been taken Lecomte would have faced the carriage, and have had a full view of it as it came towards him. Another providential circumstance was, that the assassin expected the King to be placed at the back seat, whereas his Majesty was in front. This it was that compelled Lecomte to fire in a hurry, and, perhaps, saved the life of the King. The young Duke of Wirtemberg, hearing the reports of the gun, cried out, Hark ! they are saluting grandpapa.' It was en their return from the chase that the Princes first heard of the attempt that had been made. The King during the dinner and throughout the evening showed the greatest sang-froid, the most perfect tranquillity." MILLET has been rewarded by an excellent appoint ment in the royal stables, and has also had a gold medal presented to him. Colonel BERRYER, the brother of the celebrated orator, was on duty accompanying the royal carriage at the time the attempt of LECONTE was made, and aided most effectually by his activity and coolness in the arrest of the criminal. Colonel BERRYER com mands the regiment of Guards in garrison at Font-min. bleau. LECONTE was brought from Fontainbleau to Paris on Saturday and lodged in the Conciergerie in the same cell formerly tenanted by FIESCIII, ALIBAUD, and DARMES. He has been frequently interrogated, and according to the Journal des Debuts, when the magis trate spoke to him of the crime which he had committed, he exclaimed, " It is not a crime to shoot at the KING it is an attenti'd." "It will be remembered," continues the same paper, " that the regicide DAMES protested against an accusation of a former theft which had been introduced into the indictment against him as an insult, saying that he might have committed an °Nadia, but that he was in capable of a crime." He still maintains that he has no accomplices, and the papers which have been seized at his domicile relate solely to his complaints against the administrator of the Crown forests. The Gazette des . Tribunaux says : — • " It was at Fontainbleau that he provided himself with his gun and ammunition. Both the barrels of his carabine were loaded, the one with three slugs, the other with a charge of large shot. Lecomte, when he left Paris, and also when he was arrested, was dressed in black. Ile wore at his button-hole the ribband of the Legion of Honour. At Fon tainbleau he procured a smock-frock, which he put on over his clothes, so as to enable him to enter the preserve with out exciting suspicion. lie was an excellent shot, and it ap pears that the cause which so happily prevented his atte.npt from succeeding was, that at the moment that he pulled the trigger one of the faggots on which he stood yielded to his weight, and thus deranged his aim. Lecomte was born at Beaumont (Cote d'Or), and is unmarried. A commissary of police has made a thorough search in the house in which lie resided in the Rue du Colyssee. his fowling-piece, which lie had not taken with him, was found there. Various papers were seized and placed under seal ; among others, many letters directed "ro the King,' although he has never presented or addressed any appeal under any form whatever to his Majesty." On Saturday evening there was a grand reception at the Tuileries. Upwards of 800 persons, consisting of members of the corps diplomatique, of Peers, of Deputies, of military officers, of members of the Nati inal Guard, and of the Royal Household, were received by his MAJESTY. The reception lasted until eleven o'clock. The KING, the QUEEN, and the Princess _A DELAXIe2 • seemed deeply affected by the deep and respectful sym pathy of those present. The Constitutionnel states that two couriers were dis patched from Paris to London on Saturday and Sunday, and that one of them is the bearer of an autograph letter from the KING of the FRENCH to the Queen of ENGLAND, informing her of the ctitentdt of Fontainbleau, and assuring her of the safety of himself and the Royal Family. immediately addressed letter to his MAJESTY, through Constituted 14s , the b o BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN' RAILWAYS AT TU LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE, Aram 20. u i m l tc l iii t n ea : l ; : i e n : : :.o : r :e F n o e r w ei s z o n f A th ff e a tt ir t s t . ack, Lord PALMERSTON 4 L ouvain J ' l;'t — pPe, 1 —Namur and Liege, 11 4—Over * e 1 29 8 b Meuse, and I avre, re an _ . ) 4 .—East Indian I!, Great Norther* of Franc* THE "NO HOUSE" OF MONDAY.

It would seem that the increasing starvation and fever in Irelard have no effect upon the members of Conciliation-hall, that they prefer playing tricks upon the Government, and attempting to throw ridicule on the Commons of England, to the furtherance of measures calculated to feed the hungry and relieve the distressed. They seem bent, for what purpose we cannot divine, to excite English prejudices against th :in, and thereby mar ad vantages that a Tory as well as a Whig Government would willingly confcr upon their country. INDIA. A Supplement to the London Gazette was published last Evening, containing the following extract of a Dis patch received by the Secret Committee of the East In dia Company : INDIA BOARD, Arßii._2o, 1846. _ _ The Secret Committee of the East India Company has this day received, from the Governor-General of India, a dispatch, of which the following is an extract:— •° The Governor-General of India to the Secret Committee. " Camp Lahore, March 4, 1846. - - " On the 20th, the whole army marched to Lahore, four teen miles, and encamped on the Parade-ground, about two and a half miles from the city gates. " In the afternoon of the 20. h, the young Maharaja Du leep Sing was restored to the Palace of the Rulers of Lahore, in charge of the Chief Secretary of the Government, F. Cur rie, Esq., escorted by British officers and troops, in the man ner described in the papers enclosed " I considered it right to mark, in this public manner, the submission of the Lahore Government to the British Power; and t , ) show that the restoration of the young Maharaja to his capital 1 4 /US the spontaneous act of the British Govern ment. " On the 21st, the Chief Engineer and other officers in spected the citadel and gates of the town to select positions for the British troops, by which I bad determined that La hore should be occupied till further orders. " Early on the morning of the 22d, a brigade of British troops to. .k formal possession of the citadel of Lahore, the Badshashee Musjeed, and the Buzz .ores Pagh. `• On receiving the report of his Exc .11ency the Comman der-in-Chief, I issued the General Order, bearing date the 22d ultimo. I considered the occupation of Lal oe, and the close of active operations in the field, a proper opportunity for marking, by substantial reward, the gratitude of the British Government to its faithful and brave Army, which had fought so gloriously and so successfully; and I was glad at being able thus to bring into prominent contrast the just reward of discipline and obedience with the certain penalty of insubordination and violence, as exemplified in the fate of the two armies which had been so long the objects of mutual observation, the one victorious in the field, and honoured and bountifully rewarded by its Government; the other, in spite of its exceeding numbers and advantageous positions, vanquished in every battle, abandoned by a Government it had coerced, and, with its shattered remains, left, but for the intercession of its conquerors, to disperse with no provision of any kind, and seek a precarious subsistence by rapine and crime. " Oti the 17th ultimo, the force under Brigadier Wheeler crosed the Suttlej, a few miles below Loodianah, and occu pied the strong fort of Philor, which was abandoned on the approach of the troops. Having left a garrison at Philor, Brigadier Wheeler advanced to the banks of the Beas ; and the presence of his disciplined force has given confidence of protection to the inhabitants of the Dooab, who are stated to be well satisfied with their change of rulers. The Supple went to the Gazette, contains many other official documents relating to the recent events in the Punjaub, the whole of which have already appeared in The Sun. MIS( ELL ANEOUS NEWS.

We believe that we can with confidence announce an early, if not an immediate dissolution of Parliament. This will explain why no steps have been taken to provide seats for the Colonial Secretary, the Irish Secretary, and the seatless Lords of the Treasury and Admiralty. The motives that have accelerated the dissolution are probably these :—The Whigs calculate upon a majority after July, and they feel strong enough to refuse any terms to Sir Robert Peel and his faithless and degraded one hundred and twelve! By dis• solving before July, Sir Robert will deprive the Whigs of their anticipated advantage, and he is, perhaps. weak enough .1 to expect (for to what lengths will not the flattery of self love go ?) a recovery of the confidence of the country party, after the Lords shall have thrown out his Bill, as they cer tainly will throw it out. Be this, however, as it may, we 1 warn the friends of th e " country party," and the country. to look for an early, if no t an immediate dissolution. Let them look out at once for their men. The canvass has already begun on tke other side (though ofconrse secretly and shabbily), and there is not a moment to be lost. The constituency that will not dismiss any one of the 112 will brand themselves as the votaries of perfidy. Even the Whig or Radical must be preferred before the traitor. AR amusing game this that Sir Robert Peel and Lord John Russell have been playing,—in courtship for the good gr aces o f " the Lague. --a travesty of the old opera of "Avis and Galatea." Lord John addressed his slender pipe to the Cobdenites, and almost wins the prize ; then Polyphemus Peel, stung with jealousy, flings oxen and sheep, with timber and stacks of corn, at the bead of his rival in the arms of his mistress. The diminutive lover, however, still prosecutes his shrill addresses to the nymph, and so the cont es t i s pro l onged—to end, however, we h ope , differently from the op era , f or th oug h we have no paoFectim spare Lord to see the Galat ea l eague crus h e d, w e cannot who, thcu ;h cer tainly one-eyed as a politician, John, or afford a tri u mph to the Minister, is anything Once more, however, we warn our readers to prepare —a problem for Doctor Wiga to p. r a general election early, if but single minded not as we tulieve clite The Ministers last night omitted to form a House. , e i is significant, and tends to confirm our expected coup d' t.—Herald of yesterday. o . COURT OF COMMISSIONERS OF SEWERS —Yesterday aCourt was held, at which it was deter mined by a majo rity of one, that a corner of Charlotte row in the Poultry, whera a house stood a little while ago, and where another house is being built, should be purchased, (the extent six feet), in order to improve the neighbourhood of the Mansion House. The sum to be given for the six feet of corner, which will of course be rounded, is 8001. BRIGIrreN, APRIL 21.—The Marquis of Douro, Col.

GREAT PEDESTRIAN MATCH FOR 1001. A SIDE.— Monday, the long pending match between Robert Fuller, of London, formerly well known as the most celebrated walking pedestrian of his day, and Samuel East, of Westminster, a s oung aspirant to the champion's honours, came off near the Dnke cf York, Gannick corner, Barnet, kept by Frank Keys (the old Bow-street officer). The men were matched to walk a fair toe-ard-heel match llof twenty distanca for a stake of 2001. Fuller has followed the avocation of a trainer of pugilists, and East has been engaged M performing pedestrian races, and has defeated some first-rate men. In the betting, East, wha has the advantage of being younger than his op ponent, was the favourite at odds, The start was made at a clipping pace, at which time a considerable concourse of persons were present and a large sum of mosey was floating on the race. The first mile was turned In eight minutes and a half ; Fuller at the lad. East then showed in front, and maintained the lead. At ten miles East was at an advantage of four hundred yards. The men continued at first-rate speed, although it was quite manifest East was the winning' man. The race was kept up till the 18th mile, when Fuller, finding all chance of winning over, reluctantly gave up the contest ; and East went in the winner, and won the 2001. stakes. Large sums at money were laid on Fuller. It was the general opinion he had over trained, and was not competent to the distance, DE TRUCTI iN OF GAME BY THE LATE FLOOD.—On the subsidenGe of the late flood, a great number of pheasants, par tridges, hares and rabbits, were found drowned in an osier bed, be tween the villages of Stoke Bardolph and Gunthorpe, Nettingham shire, the property of Lord Chesterfield. MONEY and COMIERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of ,vf-rpoH: , p.letl of C.ttorl .I} . ) - bates, 1,500 being on speculation. 1 lie market was not lively though firm. There are not any late Colonial arrivals in the City to-day. As the subject of the liability of Railway Committees and allottees is at present, as it has been for some time past of very general interest, we extract the following remarks from a pamphlet written by Mr. D. W. Harvey, giving sound infor mation as to the course to lss taken by parties referred to : " First—l would suggest that a prescribed number of shareholders should have the power to insist upon a meet ing, to consider the propriety of dissolving the company, and to guard against the ir.liuence of exaggerated misrepresen tations, and of sinister interests, which too frequently sway popular assemblies, and also the overwhelming power of occasional votes made by the transfer or loan of scrip. I would suggest that a ballot should be taken the following day, no discussion being allowed, nor any vote received whose possession of scrip or share has not existed for at least one month previously ; or it might better accomplish the object of all parties, if the result of the ballot should be the prosecution of the measure, that the dissentients should be entitled forthwith to the retu. n of their deposits, subject to a reasonable rebate for expenses, and until the same was paid no further proceedings to be allowed. " Second—That, to provide against the arbitrary selection which is now made of persons on committees to be sued for debts of the company, I would recommend that the defendant should be enabled to plead the mums of copartners liable with himself against whom he should be at liberty to en frrce the judgment obtained against him—that is to say, for tt ratoshle contribution. "As the law now stands, an individual who has been se lected (and I know very many such cases) as the defendant has virtually no remedy, either at law or in equity, against his copartners ; for, if tie plead in abatement, and give the names of his copartners who ought to be joined in the action against himself, and he happens to give ono name too many, or one too few—his plea fails, and judgment passes against him for the full amount. Nor is his remedy in equity less ambiguous; for, though he may not fail therefrom the want or superfluity of parties, yet, as in all probabilty it is fortune to be allied to ►ome tio e or six scores of provi sional committee-men, the strong probability is that long before his cause shall be ripe for hearing, either his suit will have abated more than once by the death of one or more of the defendants, or, to render the matter more conclusive, he will have retired to that place where lawyers cease to trouble, and locomotion is at rest. "And when we are legislating upon this matter, the con dition of creditors ought not to be overlooked. At the present time, what from the fear of costs, the dread of defeat arising from the difficulty of proof, or the worthlessness of the debtor, creditors are now driven to accept of comprramises unjustified by the nature of their demands, 01 what is due to the character of the fair trader. As a remedy for this. II would suggest that the creditors should have no remedy but against registered parties, whether they be promoters, pro jectors, solicitors, or committee-men; and that such registra tion should be signed by the respective parties in the presence of one or more official witnesses, such registration alone to be conclusive evidence of liability." There has not been much business transacted in the Funds this morning. Consols for the Account have remained steady at 95%, but for Money the reduced price of 95 1 has been submitted to, since which the market has rallied to 95 3 / 4 « The premium upon Exchequer-bills remains very heavy at 225.
