The Earl of ST. GERMANS moved the reconsideration of Cr,e report on the Irish Pacification Bill. The LORD CHANCELLOR then formally moved the; amendments wh:cli had been agreed to on Tuesday. The Earl of CLANCA an' wished to know whether. witnesses who were cognizant of crimes would be corn riled to give evidence cr not. He put that question to, if and Learned Lord opposite (CAMPBELL). L , ,rd CAMPBELL, who had only occupied the situation Chrinedlor cf Ireland for an instant, would recom mend that the question should be put to the Noble and Learacd Lord on the Woolsack, who had been Lord Chancellor during three reigns. The Loup CHANCELLOR did not feel bound to answer the question. Lord S - rouirroN urged that every person who was going to fetch a priest should under all circumstances be exempt from arrest. The LoEn CHANCELLOR said that no one could doubt that a person going to fetch a priest to attend a sick man was out on his lawful, occasion, unless he was a cri minal, when under the existing law he was liable to be apprehended. The report was then ordered to be received, and the third reading of the Bill was fixed for this day. Earl GREY gave notice that be should, on Monday vveek, move an address to her MAJESTY on the subject of Ireland generally. The Earl of DALUOUSIE moved the 611SPeadqn standing orders requiring the Select Committees on Railway Bills to take evidence as to the traffic A . the districts through which they passed.—Agreed to. Their Lordships then adjourned. There being only thirty-four Members present at foil o'clock, the House of Commons adjourned. There is no part of our criminal code which so loudly demands a revision and reform as that relating to duelling. The law is perfectly clear and well-defined. Every person concerned in a duel in which there has been a life lost, not only as principal or second, but even as a mere looker-on (if he be there as an :eider and abettor), is guilty of murder, and subject to the highest penalty known to our law. The proof is simple and easy, and yet,numerous as have been the victims who have fallen, there can scarcely be pointed out a single in stance of a conviction, certainly not a single one, in which there had not been something unfair in the ma nagement of the duel, or in which the survivor had not been grossly wrong in the matter which led thereto. Some few years since it required the strongest moral courage to refuse to fight if challenged, or to omit send ing a challenge if an insult had been given. The man who did so offended against the law of society and re ceived a punishment more severe than almost any the law could inflict. It was useless for him to allege that the head and front of his offending was, that he had refused to violate the laws both of GOD and man—no matter whether wife and children were wholly dependent on him—that ho was an upright and amiable man, dis charging efficiently all the duties of life as husband, parent, or friend, he had refused to render satisfaction, as it was termed, when demanded of him, and he was shunned and deserted, if not by all, at least by the great 'majority. Who could put forward the plea that he had already given sufficient proof to displace any imputation on his personal courage when even the Iron Duke—the hero of a hundred fights—was not satisfied to rest on his well-est iblished character, but thought it neces"ary to demand such a satisfaction for what he conceived to he an im putation on his honour, and when a veteran of the highest reputation, the present Governor- General of India, consented to act as his second on the ,-,,,..,tr5... a it is o.ili to tinnoresgarr here to repeat the names of the highest and best in our land, who have themselves been involved in similar transactions, and who certainly suffered no loss of character thereby. One instance within the last few years will be sufficient to testify that the leaders of our Government, and the majority of the Members of the House of Commons, considered that the practice was still justifiable. We allude to the debate on the occasion of the Master of the Rolls, the then Attorny •General, of Ireland, having sent a hostile message in court, during the progress of the O'CONNELL trials, to Mr. FIZTGIBBON, a Queen's Counsel, retained can behalf of tie traversers, for obser vations made by him in the discharge of his professional duty. Latterly, however, we are happy to say a heal thier state of feeling has arisen on the subject. The man who refuses to commit such a crime is no longer looked en as a person who may be insulted with impunity, and who must be scouted out of society for so doing. On the contrary, if his conduct in the entiro transaction will bear the strictest investigation—if be has not willfully or wantonly inflicted an injury or insult on his opponent—his character will stand higher than ever for his refusal ; and there is a strong feeling of the neces sity of a stop being put to the practice in every possible way. Ifow, then, can this be done ? Is it by prosecut ing with the utmost rigour of the law the parties in volved in every fatal case, and punishing them when convicted ? This will not be sufficient. All our expe rience shows that the certainty of a minor punishment is much more effectual for the repressing of crime of any kind than the possibility of the most severe, when every sympathy would be enlisted en behalf of the pri soner, and every anxiety felt by the jury and audience for an acquittal, because the punishment would be so far beyond what the crime demanded. We are led to these observations in consequence of the recent trial, at Winchester, of Mr. PYM ; and we confess that we did not feel surprised at his acquittal, contrary as it was to the charge of the Learned Judge who tried the came, or - at the burst of applause and manifest satisfaction with which that verdict was re ceived by the crowded assembly who witnessed the trial. The simple questions for the jury to decide on, as stated by the Judge, were—Did a duel take place ?—was Mr. SE I'ON wounded in that duel ?—and was Mr. Pena a second in that duel ? It was a matter of public noto riety that Mr. SETON received his death-wound in such a duel, and that Mr. Pyle was a second therein ; and the evidence was abundantly sufficient to warrant any rea sonable man or body of men in finding that such were the facts. Indeed, we cannot conceive that any body of men could hesitate in coming to such a conclusion ; but the jury adopted the argument of the learned and able counsel for the prisoner, who argued not that such was not the law, but against its policy, and that juries might stand between the law and the accused, and refuse to convict him of such a crime as wilful murder, in fact, that they were not bound to take the law from the judge, but might themselves become the arbiters both of law and fact. And if ever there was a case to excite the warmest sympathies of a jury, and to induce them to strain every point in order to prevent the fearful consequences of a conviction, it was that one. A young man, under twenty years of age, bearing the highest character as a mild, inoffensive gentleman, very unlikely to promote a quarrel, had consented to act for a friend and brother officer, on whom an injury of the most serious character had been attempted;—the virtue of his wife had been assailed. A large pecuniary recompense had been offered as the price of her honour and that of her husband. Although repulsed, the assailant refuses to desist from his persecutions, but continues his odious attentions; and when at length the husband wrings from his wife the facts, and maddene' o by the continued and public attentions of the we . , - „: loi.be seducer, finds it necessary to tell him the': ' fie is 1 - tes to him epith e t s ac quainted with everything, and a 5 Iwhich no husband of a '‘ . ":.;ig and v irtuous woman could consider as suflia ; nitly strong, under the circumstances. The anS - wer given is (if possible) an aggravation of the esaig,inal offence, an addition of insult to the attempted I injury, "that it was impossible for a light cavalry man to meet an infantry man;'' forsooth, that an officer and a gentleman, bearing a commission in an honourable and gallant corps, was to be injured and iniulted with im punity, because the insulter chose to arrogate some fancied superiority for the branch of the service in which he himself held his commission. Who could refuse to come forward in such a cause?—not an ardent and high spirited youth, who feltbis friend, and the body to which he belonged, had been grievously and wantonly insulted. He was no practised andvetcran duellist,ready to foment quar rels, and bring to a mortal arbitrament a triflir g dispute, which the slightest degree of discretion on the part of the seconds migkc have arranged, and brought to an amicable conclusion. On the contrary, it appeared that ! he did not even know how to load the pistol he was about to place in the hand of his friend. We cannot, therefore, regret the result of the trial, although we fear it will tend to perpetuate the practice, and form a pre cedent for other juries to exonerate and discharge persons appearing under less favourable circumstances. Mr. Pl - 31 was not the sort of person to be made a first victim tee the unwillingness of the Legislature to grapple with and put an end to an acknowledged evil, against which the public voice has been loudly and deservedly raised. Let the Legislature, if it seriously desire to put a stop to the offence, declare duelling to be a serious offence ; let it affix a severe penalty of fine and imprisonment (per haps with hard labour) to be inflicted in every case, no matter what may be the result ; and when one or two prosecutions have taken place, when some gentlemen of nice honour—quick to take offence, and anxious to make themselves notorious as principals or seconds have exercised themselves for one or two years in some of our ho ises of correction ; and when it is known that every similar offence is certain of receiving a similar punishment, we venture to prophecy that duelling will no longer be a fashionable amusement, but that its prac tice will have received a heavier blow and a greater discouragement than if a conviction had taken place, and that public feeling had been outraged by human life being again taken away by a legal murder. Lord CAMPBELL has earned for himself a proud title as the reformer of acknowledged abuses in our laws ; let him canthat won add and no hereafterbh ter may lau win darn laurel tothenirg his eath useful swhich he has career, or one which will confer a greater benefit on his country, 1 Scarcely ever have -;--..."---:--e encertame-d-7entiments of such peculiar satisfaction at the general bearing ofs thosethe wLow.itehr Rouse in the discussion of a re li g i ous question, as which we on Wednesday observed the manner in which the second reading of the " Roman Catholic Relief Bill" was received by the majority of the Members. And it is more peculiarly a source of gratification to ourselves from the circumstance of its forming an additional evidence of the liberality of feeling with which the Ministry are now in spired. It is creditable likewise to this age of enlighten ment and freedom of opinion that a Bill of this nature sho u ld ! I be introduced to the supervision of Government, Every one with but a fractional portion of common sense recoils from any further perpetuation of those miserable and atrocious penal enactments which are, in fact, the leprous blotches of the statute-book —enactments by which a body of Christians, and a very gigantic body be it remembered, is debarred AVM an exercise of the reasoning faculties, or of conscience , itself, under penalties of so violent a description as to excite the repugnance of all well-constituted minds. That these opinions are not restricted to any petty band of innovators, but are those entertained by almost every division of the community, is fully demonstrated, even if we regard that effluence of the multitude (the House of Representatives) as the criterion. Laws so villanously stringent upon the minds as well as upon the bodies of our fellow- creatures—laws so con trary to the more essential elements of our constitution itself -laws at once so cowardly and so infamously despotic as these constitute au anomaly but little creditable to a genera tion of science or a nation of freemen. And to maintain for a single instant that such enactments are necessary as pre servatives to the es!ablished religion of this country would be a tacit acknowledgment of the rottenness and' mundane insecurity of that creed. It would be an inference most per nicious to the Protestant Church. All these considerations have, within this session, operated upon the different depart - ments of the Legislature, and in consequence the lovers of freedom and of charity (in which class we would enume rate all right-minded Englishmen) are rejoiced to see a Bill introduced for the abolition of these statutes by the LORD CHANCELLOR himself, simultaneously with one of a like nature now passing through the House of Commons. The fearless, candid, and dispassionate manner in which the latter was on Wednr s lay introduced for a second reading by Mr. Escorr was a gratifying testimony that a really competent party had been selected for that office But a rather miserable contrast was given to the Hon. Member's address by the subsequent speech of Sir ROBLRT IlAnnv Isectes a speech which reflects as little credit upon his taste as upon his judg ment—a speech more adapted to the congregations of Exeter Hall than to the audience of St. Stephen's—a speech as wretched in its tact as it was virulent in its sentiments. Lord MoEPETII, whose remarks were brimming over with noble truths—truths eminently worthy of his utterance—could scarcely have insinuated the bigotry by which all antagonists to this 8.11 were goaded on with more consummate delicacy or more painful sarcasm. His allusions to the Hon. Member for Oxford were thoroughly merited and conveyed that gentle manly, but :emphatic reprcbaticn of his conduct with which he should be unceasingly visited until the close of his semi clerisal crusade. It is indeed a matter of astonishment, of indignation, of deep and unaffected regret on our part, that the University of Oxford—so renowned for its erudition, for its correspondence with the advancement of eociety, and for its aggregation of natural and cultivated talent—should suc cumb to the MAWWOE3I class of ethics, and, Parliament after Parliament, set forth as an exponent of its religious and political views one so impervious to the voice of liberal and charitable concession. To Sir ROBERT Ixates the "live and let live" of theology is a non-existence; he declaims against the code of Jesuitism as over-rigid, and establishes in his own mind a moral inquisitien, most stern and uncompromising, to all of a different belief. Filled, however, as we are with regret at this mal-appropriation of human reason, it is matter of earnest congratulation to our selves, that saving the casual toadyism of Colonel SIRTHORP, or his scanty compeers, the diatribes of Sir R. 11. INGLIS are virtually and actually innocuous. Wednesday's division was proof positive that our legislators are animated by a true and practical devotion to the prin ciples most accordant to our political state, as well as most accordant to the creed established by the Gon OF THE CHRISTIANS. Before very long we shall have the grateful consciousness that in England the most divine attribute of our common nature—FArrn----is no longer tramelled by human edicts; that each man may worship his CREATOR in the manner moat reasonable to him self without let or hindrance, but, above all, without a single glimmer of scorn or obloquy. The motion of Mr. WILLIAMS, the Member for Coventry, relative to the want of education in Wales, is one of the very first importance, and to that gentleman we are indebted for a macs of useful information, supported by some very sagacious and benevolent hints as to the manner in which a great national evil may be eradicated. The facts upon which that Hon. Member founded his present interposition on the part of his fellow-countrymen are heart-touching in the extreme, and are deserving of the most earnest consideration. According to an estimate formed by the President of a Dissenting College in Wales, it appears that 250,000 children require instruction in that country. Of these merely 70,000 are supplied with the necessary education, and a very considerable portion of that 70,000 are abandoned to schoolmasters of such indifferent capacity, that the education is actually little more than nominal. A calculation more startling than this could scarcely be made in any other civilised country ; it proves more: than a social malady, it proves a legislative over sight. What moral excellence, what political sobriety, what subordination, what improvements, can possibly be ex pected from a population, when 150,000 children are per mitted to grow up in an ignorance as leaden, as unhoping, and as dismal in its density, as creatures with the faculties of man are capable of doing? What hopes can be enter tained of a people with excellent wages, who have no other alternative to while away their leisure hours but the vapours of the tap-room ; no other solace in their lack of occupation but alcohol ; no other notion of supreme enjoyment but a gossip round the hearth-stone of a public-house? What tranquillity can be looked for among a race without the power to balance with accuracy the problem of right and wrong? None. No, not one. It would be the murkiest insanity ; it would be expe sting a fruitful harvest where no single grain is sown, and where the wholesome moisture of the earth is expelled by an unnatural drought. An - enumeration of all those baneful consequences which must necessitate from such a condition of mind among a body of men like our 'Welsh countrymen is scarcely possible —they are almost numberless. But that political and social grievances must result from the mere circumstance alone of their not knowing the language in which the laws that rule them are expressed, must be evident to any rational indi vidual. Their isolation by this fact also precludes them from all capacity to rise above the original level of their condition : they are shut out from the most humanizing influences : they are prevented from becoming more deter minately prosperous either materially or intei!eetually. So manifest were all these deductions, so impossible to gainsay, so incapable were they of being slurred over, that the Home Secretary acknowledged the urgency of the me, requested Mr. WILLIAM S t o w ithd raw 1-' ar, merely -.5 motion on the f wing engagement : He (c :.:a. JAMES GRAHAM) pro posed that the Educat; -- ComMittee of the Privy Council should send de.- .. - _ a into i \Vales two of its inspectors to inquire into ` l iie extent of the ignorance of the English language among the population of Wales, and into the best means of removing it. He thought that the necessary information might be speedily obtained, and that the intervention of Parliament might be procured, perhaps, during the present session." We shall look vigilantly for the report of these two pro posed inspectors, and we shall look hopefully for that same intervention of Parliament, sustained by the aspiration that houses of correction may give place to parish seminaries, and tuition ultimately supersede the treadmill, We have intelligence from Madrid to the 4th instant. The Gazette of that date publishes a return of the receipts & and expenditure for the year 1845, showing a balance in fairour of the Government, to the amount of 65,156,372 reals, (651,5601.); the total expenditure being 1,225,495,957 reals, (12,254,9591.); and the receipts 1,290,652,329 reals, (12,906,5230. It was said that the Government bad re fused to accept the resignation of Don HENRIQUE, as they wish to keep him at a distance from the capital. The lleraklo says, the negotiations at Rome had taken a more favourable turn, and bulls from the Mors had been re ceived in Madrid, approving of the bishops lately ap pointed, in which his HOLINESS expressly and solemnly acknowledges ISABELLA 11., as Queen of Spain. The Funds have again fallen. On the 4th the Three per Cents. closed at 28% for cash, and at 30 days; and the Five per Cents. at 21% for :he 30th of April. In the French Chamber of Deputies, the motion of M. DE ST. PmEsT, relative to the reduction of the Five per Ceet. Stock has been carried by a majority of 56—the numbers being fur authorising the consideration of the subject, 201, and against it, 145. The Minister of Finance strongly opposed the adoption of such a course as inepportune and even dangerous under present circumstances. In the course of the discussion M. GARMER PAGES inveighed strongly against. the Government for its want of courage in this in stance, insisted on the necessity of .effecting the conversion at the present time, and added that a strong reason against it was one universally known, though no person liked to mention it,—namely, the "systanze, the "pensex du regne"— in other w ords the KING. He was loudly called to order by the Centre, and he dropped the topic. There is no chance, however, of the measure being carried this session, for the House of Peers are also opposed to it, and will not yield but to what M. GARNIE& PAGES calls an " imperious reason." The late insurrection in Poland, for we believe all hopes of success are now abandoned, continues to form the principal topic in the papers, as well as in private societies. All lament the fall of the Poles, and regret that a rising should hive taken place, when, neither the Poles themselves nor the rest of Europe were prepared for it. The Government, as a matter of course, have taken every precaution against any public displays which may give cffence to the three Powers. A grand manifestation was expected at the Opera, on Monday night and the police, in consequence, assembled there in great force, to repress anything of the kind. The following ac count of the affair appears in the National:— " Tho pit of the Opera presented a most extraordinary aspect, from its containing 150 if not 200 polieo agent., filling one-half of the seats. The Government, having received information that it was intended to call for the perforn tsnce of the Marseillake or the Craconienne, had given instructions to the Prefect of Police to take every possible means for preventing this manifestation of opinion. After the first; act of Lucie was over, a portion of the audience cried out for the Margeillaise, but the agents drowned the cry by shoe sting La Piece! La Piece! and the orchestra com menced' the introduction of the second act. At this time a detachn tont• of Sergens de Ville collected near the entrai ice, and a squadron of Muaicipal Guards took up their stations in the cour t-yard next the Rue Grange Batiliere. After the second act was over, the cries for the Marseillaise were re newed, a nd received with the same opposition as before by the .olice agents. Upon this a party of Sergens de Ville erlt red the pit, and took out three of the most voci ferous c ,f the young men, and conducted them to the Corps de Gas .de in the vestibule.' On Tuesday a meeting of Depoti belonginc chiefly to the Left and the Left Cure, and amounting to about 'eighty, was held in one of the committee-rooms, to consider what steps might be best under present circumstances, to assist the unfortunate Poles. M. DUPONT ma L'EurtE was called to the chair, when M. GAmetErt PAGES proposed that the assembly should con titute itself into a permanent committee to watch over the interests of Poland. M. OMAN BARROT, however, and many other members objected to the proposition, and thought that, in the present positien of the Poles, when it was not likely that they could consolidate their forces, and effectually resist the three great Powers, it would be better to wait events, and that in the meantime the meet ing should merely appoint a committee, charged with drawing up an appeal to the people, and calling upon them to sub scribe in favour of the insurgents. Such a course would be more consistent with the dignity of the French Chamber of Deputies than to give formal expression to wishes and feel ings, which had little chance at the present moment of being accomplished. This plan, therefore, was adopted, and a committee was appointed, merely to collect subscriptions. The committee consists of M. DuroN r DE L'EuaE, chairman, MM. ARAGO, LAMARTINE, OD/I.ON BARROT, REMILLY, MAL LEVILLE, LAFAYETTE, and DE LARCY. The Prussian and Austrian Ministers at Paris received on Tuesday accounts that the insurrection virtually was at au end. According to the National, the subjoined petition, copies of which are to be sent for signature to all parts of France, was to be pre sented to the Chamber of Deputies:— " Gentlemen,—For fifteen years past, and in every year, you have opened all your sessions by expressing a wish for the resurrection of Poland as a nation, and on all occasions all France has joined in that wish. Poland is now rising against her oppressors ; she is display ing the utmost energy in order to break her fetters and re-conquer her independence and liberty. We come to claim of you, as a sanc tion of your own votes, a solemn declaration of sympathy for her generous efforts. The Poles are the French of the North; their blood has been shed for France in sill our battles ; let leer, then, cover them with her exalted protection: It fa the act of justice and humanity we expect from you." The French Funds, from various causes, still continue to fall.

This happy circumstance is attributed to the fact, that this is the time when the farmers open the pits, in which they keep the potatoes during the winter, and that they have been found in a state of perfect preservation. We hare nothing positive to say to-day as to the Ministerial crisis. If we are rightly in'ormed, it was not till yesterday (Sunday) that M. Van de Weyer finally declined form ing a new Cabinet, at beast it was yesterday that he in formed his Majesty of it. All the information that we have been able to collect, agrees, that M. Ven de Weyer had full power to re constitute the Cabinet, and that he was not confined to choose his colleagues among the members of the pre ceding Ministry, besides there was no reason to think that M. Van de Weyer could entertain the idea of turning his back on the programme contained in his speeches of the 17th and 19th of November. This same programme ;CCtn; to be still destined to remain the basi-, of future combination. At the open ing of the Chamber of Representstives to-day, the Minister for Foreign Affairs propoFed that the Cham ber should defer till Wednesday the discussions of the project of law on public accounts, M. Malon, the Mi nister of Finance, who is to defend, being prevented by a severe domestic affliction from attending in his place to-day, was agreed to. To-morrow the Chamber will diieuse the project of law on the tariff of Customs, of sthich M. Osy is the reporter. CRACOW AND GALLICIA,—Vienna , papers of the 4th say, according to a report of Major• General Maher. dated Bielitz, March Ist, he had caused the point of Oswieczim (on the frontier of Cracow) and all the other passages, on the Vistula, as far as Podgorze, to be guarded by detachments of troops, in order to prevent any attempts of the Cracow insurgents escaping across the river. VIENNA, MARCtt 4.—We received no news yester day, and perhaps shall not hear any till the arrival of the train by the railroad, which usually comes about half-past two in the afternoon, Meautie we have your paper (the Aitgentiene eitung) of the Ist of March, which brings us much later news, of Whith we have heard nothing s and probably never shall again. f mean the letter marked * * *, in which there is not one word of truth: there was no attack on Cracow en the night of the 22d, coneevently Getlefill wits not obliged by it 40 eVatuate the city. The Cracow city militia (there was no national guard) bchaVed admi rably from the fi rs t t o t h e last Man. The commandant was not deposed by General Collin ; there was no deser tion of the militia, no general engagement, and there fore not two, much less 200 infantry and 140 cavalry (nearly all that was in Oraeow), could be killed in that general engagement. The Archbishop of Cra cow, the Senate, and General Chlopietre quietly with ,drew with the trco, s over the Vistula bridge, and no dE tacbment was cut off. Not a man, much less a detach ment of the brave regiment of Nugent, deserted to the insurgents. On the 28th of February there was not (as your correspondent in Vienna pretends to know already, on the 24th) a man of Prussian and Russian troops about Cracow. Why does your correspondent sand you these unfavourable reports ? He either can know nothing, or will know nothing. But what I know is, that it is a shame, on the ground of a mere report, to cast a slur en the honour of troops at the moment when they .how a devotedness and fidelity which gain the admi ration of all foreigners, and still more that of their own countrymen.

TILBURG, MARCH 6.—The arrival of his Majesty the King to-day, being known here yesterday evening, numerous flags were hoisted this morning as the steeples of the public edifices, and many private houses. His Majesty, accompanied by hi aid-de-camps, arrived here at ten o'clock this morning, and alighted at his palace. We und, rstand that his Majesty will go to-morrow to inspect the fortifications which are being erected at Vught and Gramvoist, on which between two and three hundred men are employed, andithat he will not stay be yond the Bth or 9.h. THE HAGUE, MARCH B.—Among the reports that have lately been circulates, it is said that the Second Chamber, after re-assembling on the 16th of this month, will proceed with great activity till Easter, which is on the 12th of April, and that the session will close very early this year. Some projects of law will be laid aside till next session, in the autumn. There still remain many very important matters to be settled before the Chambers break up. His Majesty returned from Til burg to-day. The Minister of the Interior, ad interim, gives notice that the Prussian Government makes no objection to the application of the decree of the King of the Nether lands, of the 9th of December, 1845, which regulates the formalities to be observed When steamers and sailing vessels meet, in the navigation of that small part of the Rhine where the right bail belongs to Prussia, and the left to the Netherlands, and that that Government has accordingly given the necessary notice, as far as Prussia is concerned. 11ECTIANIC' INSTITUTION. SOUTTIAMPTON-BUILD .NGS.— On Wednesday evening Mr. Henderson del.vered the first of two lectures on " London, Historical and Descrip tive." The subject was very ably treated, and the detail, which displayed considerable research, was enlivened by the introduction of much interesting matter; indeed, it combined the requisite ingredients for every public address, namely, in struction and amusement. The gratification of the audience was considerably enhanced by the very beautiful pictorial illustration of the ancient and modern city, by a provincial artist of very considerable talent, Mr. W. Shaldere. NovEL EXPEDIENT.—SO rapidly do new fences, gates, and gate-posts disappear in the neighbourhood of Lincoln, that, in self-defence against the plunderers fur firewood, the owners of property have been compel'ed to adopt the follow ing novel expedient: —Holes with a large diameter are gouged into the wood, a quantity of gunpowder is then de posited in them, and they are carefully plugged up. When the stolen wood is cut iip and placed on the fire, the gun powder explodes, and though the thief may not be detected, the damage inflicted on hi s 1 -roperty has a tendency to con vince him that honesty is the best policy. A CANDIDATE FOR THE WEST RIDING.—We have heard some conversation in this neighbourhood as to the man to be proposed at the next general election as the col league of Lord Morp e th, an d Mr. Cobden's name has been menti▪ oned. We trust that this suggestion will find univer sal acceptance.— Shedd Independent. KING'S COLLEGE, LoNnox.----The Rev.

STAFFORD, THURSDAY, 6 P.M.—The nomination for a Member of Parliament to supply the vacancy occasioned by the appointment of the Hon. Captain Carnegie took place this day. At the last hour tvo candidates ap rared to oppose the Hon. Captain, namely, W. Sleigh, Esq., of Stamford-house, Chiswick, Middlesex, on the Protectionist interest, and Mr. Watkins as a member of the Anti-Corn law League, on the free-trade interest. In the course of the morn ing Mr. Neale, a barrister on the Oxford Circuit, offered to stand the contest, on condition that the whole of his expenses were paid ; but that offer was not ac cepted. The various candidates having been proposed and seconded, addressed the electors at great length, Cap tlin Carnegie deearing his attachment to the Ministerial measure, though he declared his desire to see a total and immediate roped carried. He denied that he sup ported the present alteration in the corn duties, because it emanated from Sir Robert Peel, as he would as soon have supported them had they been brought in by Lord J. Russell, and if Sir Robert Peel could not carry this scheme, and Lord John could do so, he (Captain Car negie) would support Lord John, and endeavour to get it passed into a law. Mr. Sleigh and Mr. Watkins addressed the meeting. A show of bands was taken, and the choice fell upon Mr. Watkins, but that gentleman having reclined the contest, and a poll being demanded for the other two candidates, it was daermined by the Mayor to take the poll to-morrow (Friday). There is little doubt but Captain Carnegie will be returned by a large majority. COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen and Prince Albert took an airing in an open carriage, towards King's Keys, on Wednesday afternoon. The Royal Family were taken airings in the plan tations of Osborne House.

DISTRESSING CASE.—We are requested to give in• section to the following particulars, in the hope that the pub lication of them may be the means of unravelling the mystery which at present hangs over the affair to which this relates : ".0n the 19th of December, 184.3, a deaf and dumb man was found at or near Ostend, and has been detained ever since under the care of the Abbe Carton, director of the Institute for the Deaf and Dumb, at Bruges, by whom the following particulars have been drawn up with a view to the disco very of this unfortunate person's country or place of resi dence. He appears.to be about 35 or 40 years of age; has received no kind of instruction ; is marked with the small pox; has a mark cn the ball of the left eye; is of the middle height; is thin, and of a sallow complexion. The Abbe Carton, after the most patient investigation, has come to the conclusion that this man is of either English or Irish extraction, and adduces the following reasons as the ground of his belieft—He has elicited from the deaf and dumb man that the roads in his country are macadamised ; that the public carriages are drawn by four horses ; and that travellers usually prefer the outside to the inside places. The Catholic is the religion professed in his parish. The Abbe explains that there are two systems of manual alphabet in use for the deaf and dumb. One of them, which is employed in all countries but England, is formed with one hand only ; while the other, which produces the letters by means of both hands, is peculiar to England, whence he concludes that the subject of this inquiry is either English or Irish. There is but one church in his parish, which belongs to the Catholic persuasion. All the houses are low, and covered with reeds and clay. His father was a weaver, and died three or four years ago; he is buried in a church-yard in which is a tombstone with an inscription traced by himself. His mother was still alive at the time of his departure; he had an elder brother, shoe maker by trade, and two younger sisters, who were both deaf and dumb. There was a gentleman's house in his parish, which was inhabited by a lady of the Roman Catholic religion, to whom he was well known. There was likewise a mountain, it was near the sea, and there was a railroad in the neighbourhood. He re lates that he left home without. the knowledge of his rela tions, that he embarked in a vessel laden with oak bark, and was.at sea about a year. He is unable to give any satisfac tory account of his landing in Belgium, but the Abbe Carton conjectures that he came across in some of the steamers, and made his way to the Downs near Ostend, -where he was found." On the evening of Monday last, a fire broke out in Lochend House, the seat of Sir George Warrender, Bart. It at one time bore a most alarmingaspect; but, happily, by the prompt measures used, it was speedily gut under, and finally extinguished. The himse w.s full of company at the time. The fire seems to have been occasioned by overheating the flues in the scullery room, and thereby igniting the sur rounding lath §nd other combustible materials.—.Edinbuvis Advertiser, MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS, (From The San of Last Nigh'. The Liverpool Cotton market yesterday was steady. Sales 5,000 bags. There was rather an improved feeling in the Share market, and an increased business was done. Advices received from Vienna state, that the Austrian Government contemplated the abolition of their Customs lines, separating Hurgary from the other provinces of the empire. 'the only ship arrival to-day is from Valparaiso, and we do not find that there is any news of general interest from that quarter. A good deal of curiosity is manifested to learn how the dis pute between Messrs. Lizardi, the late agents of the Mexi can Government, and the Bondholders, represented by their Committee, will be likely to terminate. So far as justice is concerned, there are few disinterested person.:‘ who doubt the right of the bondholders to the amount withheld, but there may be legal difficulties interposed as in other cases. Hitherto the Committee have received, we believe, every encouragement, as regards counsel's opinion, to proceed with their sun, which was expected on vesterday, and we hope at all events will come before the Court this week. The bondholders- are naturally impatient to have the matter settled one way or the other; and, if in their favour, to receive the instalment so long due, and which, with the amount already in the hands of Messrs. Schneider, might make up a sum worth having. The English Stock Market presents quite a blank appear ance, owing to the closing of the Transfer books for so many securities.

Calthrop, why it was abandoned, and, for a similar offence, why was the other geatlemai, Mr. Billy Moden, fined los. ? So long as outrages on public order and decency are thus connived at, and dealt with, what may we expect but a recurrence of such manifestations of aristocratical buffoonery, to the danger and annoyance of every peaceable citizen. If the farce here acted is not an evasion of the law. and a corruption of the civil force, what is ? I am, Sir, yours respectfnlly, AMICUS PACIS. Durham, March 11, IR4. ADROIT SWINDLING. A person of respectable, not to say gentlemanly address, a few days since presented himself at the count ing-house of Messrs. Southern and Evans, merchants. of this city, and stating that he was about to commence business as a dealer in guano ' at Cardiff, requested to see samples of the articles which the above firm could supply to him Accordingly the request was gratified ; and the , usual preliminaries of business having been settled to mutual satisfaction, a sale of eighty tons was effected. The psuedo dealer now solicited the merchant's assistance in getting the guano shipped ; and search was made for a botion, but unfortunately (or rather fortunately as it proved in the sequel) there was RO vessel in the port wanting a freight, much to his disappointment. As it happened, how ever, the Henry Southan, steamer, which was on the point of starting for Swansea, had room for ten tons of goods, and it was arranged that that qautity of guano should be put into her hold for conveyance to Cardiff. This part of the lading completed, the dock-men asked their employer for some thing to drink, a request which he at fir:t put off on the plea that they , should have it when the whole of the guano was shipped; but apparently on re-consideration, he changed his mind, and took them to the Trunipc.t public-house. There he ordered a plentiful " wet" for the porters, took a glass of grog himself, and on leaving the house, told the landlady that he should send the men there again on the next day , when they had completed the lading of his goods, and j he would then, settle the whole—a promise which was honoured by the gra!eful hostess with a low curtsey. From this 'period he W`.s lost sight of on land, the merchants, naturally enough, taking no thought of him while the bulk of his " purchase" remained at their stores, and never suspecting that he might, by mere possibility, be " a land shark." It would appear, however, that the customer got on board the steamer, and after she had started on her voyage, got " unco cosy" with the steward. He eat, drank, and stroked to the top of his bent, and altogether enjoyed a pleasant voyage to Car diff. , Arrived there, he unshipped the bags or precious stuff, which he was about to convert into gold ; and the weather being cold or wet, the steward, in his simple good nature, lent his top-coat to the gentleman, who was so good a customer to the vessel, and the mer chants her owners. As for the freight, he intimated that he had made it " all right" at Gloucester —end for the charges of the voyage he would settle on his return. No sooner was the gentleman with the guano ashore than he sought out an auctioneer, employed the crier to announce its sale, and in the course of a very short period it was knocked down to the best bidder, " without -reserve"— the purchaser getting for forty-seven pounds, goods which had been valued at, and ought to have cost 801., a few hours before in the Glou cester docks. The gentleman, still in a hurry, next contrived to cajole the purchaser out of a cheque for the purchase-money, forstalling the customary demand of the auctioneer ; immediately after which he disap peared, having diddled merchants, steamer, steward, cryer, auctioneer—all his employes in fact ; and he is, ~ orne eholeo ob..eurty, with no doubt, now rejoicing in many golden reasons, in having successfully subdued " that worst of earthly ills, The inflammation of his weekly bills," —G-kucestershire Chronicle, O S NEW BRUNSWICK AND IS SCOTIA LAND COMPANY. ereti, The general meeting of this Company was,hroel"'e:' day, at the offices of the Company, in Co Moxon, Eq., Chairman of the Company , la thA,eseei 'The advertisement having been read, th e t e' • gl i e called upon the Secretary to read the repo." ete7 stance of which was that a considerable ethatet/ already been made in promoting the interest-5W Cempeey.
