The intelligence brought by di, - Ilibernia from the United States possesses no new feature Unmeaning debates were going on in Congress; acrimonious attacks were made day after day by the more violent si eakers upon England ; no quesiim has yet been decided. an duo journal or cone strident can t e ll • w h en th ere i s a chance . of numerous motions respeeting Oregon, the ba lance of power, and the el her - topics set forth in Mr. POLK'S MessaMr. PAK EN AM ge being broth lit to a close.

The • territory, and that any part of it cabm o tb e out sacrificing the honour and interePtlA f the repUbl i .L. gash ggrkventouthwe iwthhole Houses. appear to have taken their tore from this, docutnent, and, what is more, they have assuire:. the settlement of , the affair, and almost deprived the Lee, ut.veof any power toast, Till they come to some decision, theie•ore, the people of both .countries must remain in suspense ; but, as we have all along said, the Oregon question is a very small affair. Mexico, and TCxas, and Califon! ta :roved into the scene much sooner than was anticipated, Slid judging from the most correct accounts that can be gathers ti from the papers, we may anticipate some serious events in a very brief 'period both in Mexico and Texas. The iiihabitants, .and more especially the military, are but little satisfied with the pro ceeduigs of the ex-President IlEttt; tr. ; they naturally be lieve that the honour, the rights, mid the security of the .country have been sacrificed, that rAirery has been prac tised in high quarters, and that Tex is had been sold to the Americans, merely to put money into the pockets of a f ew d e b ase d M ex i cans. nether it was l ost by bribery or imbecility, no one can eny that the whole transaction is the most disgraceful o - .•. :eoord, and that every man in Mexico of an independent spirit, and possessing any spark of patrotism, must feel humble ovy the cession of such a valuable territory an d the near h pro e a n c t h T o h f i thef feeling Americans to the seat ofgov:: m has g . : 1 ,1) . ! rise to the sudden revolution enected by Paseemi;sg, TUE and the flame, it appears, burst forth as soon as the arrival of • the American Envoy was made known. On an instant, meetings of the people, as well as the officers of the army, were held, and resolutions were adopted denouncing the late Government for refusing to defend Texas, for setting at defi ance the will of the army and people, and for actually treating with the Minister of the United States for the sale of Cali fornia as well as Texas. So unanimous and decided was the movement, that PAREDES had only to dec'are himself as a defender of the nation's rights and honour to be installed as ruler. The American Envoy upon this retreated, and most probably has furnished & flaming account to his Governmeat of the violence displayed, and the warlike movements directed, against the newly adopted state ; for it appears that the naval forces in the Gulf of Mexico have been increased, and the army on the Rio Grande is fully prepared to act either on the defensive er offensive. Per sons who know the intriguing disposition of certain American agents anticipated some such result. The incessp.nt negotiations carried on at Mexico gave rise to just suspicions that an amicable settlement was not the point aimed at, but that demands were to be made and in sisted upon which the Mexicans could not submit to, in order that they might be excited to violence, and commit some acts which would justify the United States in fighting, not for Texas, but for Mexico itself. They have gained their object as far as this point i s considered, but we confidently believe that they have overshot the mark. England and France with the greatest reluctance yielded to the resolution of the Texan Congress by which they united the country to America. They had no other resource, because they • had acknowledged the independence of Texas ; but affairs now assume a different shape. A war between the United States and Mexico is a matter of no ordinary occur rence for them, and Mr. Posit and General CASS will pro ; bably soon find that their favourite and selfish doctrine of " non-in terterence" will be practically as well as virtually set at nought. A sense of abstract benevolence, no doubt, first originated the enctien of such establishments as gaols and houses of correction ; but experience has long proved the fallacy of such endeavours to retard the extension of crime. The scheme ;and its proposed influence upon national morality) is essan tially theoretical. Time has displayed this with the most pain luldistinctness. By punishing the perpetrator of cri minal vflences, the Legislature has began amelioration at the wrong end : hydra-like, the vicious among the population have started up in succession, as each individual case was dispOsed off: the branches were lopped off, but the vegeta tion .was far from being retarded ; each excretion of crime in the land was but another bough to be submitted like its pre decevcrs to the pruning-knife of the judicial courts. The source ofsocial vice should have been abruncated—the roots should have been themselves tom away : the cause should have been eradicated—and the effects would then, both necessarily and spontaneously have disappeared. Thank GOD how ever. the malady is now too generally acknowledged to be much longer screened (by prejudices) against some vigorous etlort at its destruction : thank GoD ! the age of theoretic Liliiranthrophy has departed, and the present generation is too practical to content itself with an experimental ale viation : thank GOD ! the very revenues of the einpire are interested in decreasing the extravagant ex penses annually incurred by the prevalence of crime. It must, indeed, be a matter of the most earnest self-congratu lation to every individual—and who would not wish to be classed amongst the number ?—desirous of seeing the disse mination of happiness among the poorer classes of the community in active and permanent operation; it must) we repeat, be a matter of earnest self-congratulation to those individuals that parties influential in the further ance of these objects are no longer lying dormant, but are, on the contrary, using the boldest and manliest exertions to ef fect, and that immediately, the regeneration of a debased and neglected multitude. On Saturday several of these personages assembled at the Mansion-house, for the purpose of listening to a proposition which ,it was understood would be submitted to their consi deration by Mr. CHARLES PEARSON, the City Solicitor; and although there are a few subordinate points which, in our es timation, are scarcely tenable, the conception of that gentle man's plan is so excellent, and the details of the statement are so conclusive, that we trust it may not be tee precipi ,tately abandoned. The primary object of the proposed ar rangement is the reduction of the number of criminals, and the medium through which this object should be most effec tually attained—the reformation of "Juvenile Offenders." The sagacity and truth of this deduction must be ostensible : it is not, in fact, so much the diminution of misery as the diffusion of blessings : it is not so much the medicine to heal as the aliment to nourish : it is not so much a correction if evil as it is an incentive to good. Mr. PEARSON gronnds his arguments as to the necessity that exists for some measure of this description upon vary sub stantial bases : he draws his inferences from Parliamentary returns and documents of a like nature. From the manner in which he has anatomised these statistical papers we obtain some most startling and terrible facts as to the degenerate condition into which the children of the humbler classes are lapsed : thus we learn ignorance and penury are more dire and horrible among these luckless crea tures than the wildest pictures of fancy could realise ; w e learn that vice has had a greater ratio of increase than the popu lation itself—that one has outstripped the other in its grim progress—a fact most hideous in its consequences—a fact sufficient in itself to impel the question of some change in our moral code to a settlement, and that forthwith. When, however, Mr. PEARSON ascribes this ex tension of crime among the juvenile portion of the populace to the "transition from war to peace, or to the substitution of the new police in lieu of our former Dogberries," or to the "payment of the prosecutors' expenses out of county rates," rather than to the torpor into which the intellects of these unhappy children are permitted to subside through the absence of all education, or again to the goadings-on of destitution, we must be permitted, to a certain limit, to differ from him in his con clusions. But in ascribing the increase in a great measure to those summary convictions by which the magistracy are now em powered to imprison a youthful culprit,--(and a culprit, be it remembered, for some paltry pecadillo)—we fully and em phatically coincide with the City Solicitor : we acknowledge the correctness of his observation that by this baneful practice "a child becomes acclimated to the atmosphere of a geol.' , The plan by which Mr. PEARSON maintains these social gangrenes might be thoroughly extracted is simple and feasible enough : he proposes that national asylums be established, in which children of both sexes shall be clothed, and fed, and eucatcd, forming a kind of "reformatory establishment, surrounded with appliances for mental, moral, religious, and industrial training," He proposes that these places should be constructed "on the line of the great trunk railroads, by which children should be transmitted safely to and from any part of the kingdom." He proposes that " out- door labour should be united with instruction in me chanical employment," so as to invigorate the bodies of the pu pils until they are capacitated" for apprenticeship in this coun try or the colonies." For one-third of the price entailed upon the nation by the existing laws for prosecutions, imprison ments, and transportations, all these noble achievements could, according to Mr. PeartsoN's calculation, be effected; the charge, as now upon criminal expenses, falling directly on the parents, and in default of these upon the parish. This daring hint at innovation received on Saturday the sanction of the Bishop of LoesDos, Lord GRA:swim - on, Mr. HILL, the Recorder of BuLmDtorram, with other influential and ex perienced personages. May we find this a foretaste of some great practical movement in the cause of destitute child hood, and discover in the end national asylums where formerly stood the dens of punishment ! We have accounts from Lisbon to the 9th instant, brought by the Peninsular mail. A strong opposition to the CABRAL Ministry has been formed, at the head of which is the Duke DE PALMELLA, who will be supported by the Counts of TAIPA and LUMIARES, and it is said by nearly the whole of the ancient nobility. It'is stated that, owing to the thriving state of home manufactures, the importation of English p l ods was falling off to a great extent. The Exchange on London was 54 1 / to 54%, at ninety days. We have received Madrid papers of the 7th and Bth inst. On the 7th Senor MoN, the Finance Minister, in the Chamber of Deputies, brought forward the budget for 1846, in which the expenditure is stated to be 1,225,499,920 reels (12,250,4991.), and the receipts calculated at 1,227,000,000 reels (12,270,000/.) In making his statements the Minister said he had not availed himself of the authority granted by the Cortes to regulate the public:debt. That must be a work of time ; but he had no doubt that a satisfactory arrange ment could be made under the influence of a wise ad ministration, a due regard to public credit, and the main tenance of internal order and tranquillity. The remarks of the speaker, as published in the Gazette, display both ,honesty and good sense : ." None are more interested than the Government he the imiprovement and consolidation of public credit ; none can be more desirous ,to do justice to the several creditors, both Sparrish and foreign, who claim payment of the interests due to them. It, was for This reason that the Government had obtained of the Cortes permission to regulate the States' debt. The various vicissitudes which the debt has undergone has placed it in a situation such that it is better to leave it in its presentcondition than to make promises, and adopt improve ments which cannot be realised at a given period, and con• stantly and perpetually, With this view it was indispen sable to maintain public order at home, and to obtain a good result from the public Treasury's receipts; as, in this 11 the impulse oatia et re spect, there is a daily improvement, and public order is se cured,a the Government is engaged in giving to this question necessaryto religiouslyforbringing to:an ashi therto c ' itself interest endit payable h paying the ' according to law, and 80,000,000 reels. , In wnch last year amounted to above setingthus the Government has not been actuated by any preference for h has been inspiredby the deep een tz; . 4 o ebt Kielding interest; it all hesitation and distrust are in the hi l gVst at in such questions and that frequent and reiterated acts are thos degreea• detrimental, a confidence by no means to be suddenlyy'. ich provoked The Ministers, Deputies, and Senators, all ardently commands), to effect savings in the State's expenses. None whit]. " ; la n ardently. than the Government, which, at every moment,menre counters difficulties in the collection of the taxes, and, at every moment, also, receives remonstrances from those whose interests are injured. And vet, it is a sad thing to say all the services paid for by the Mate are necessary, and there is nothing exorbitant in their remumeration. We have in herited the consequences of serious reforms and the debts of our forefathers. Nevertheless, our zeal leads us far, if it does not make us wander too far. Not content with having prohibited, for the future, the granting of pensions, we are, this year, effecting a reduction of 16,000,000 reels on present and retired pensions. The question of the Treasury's ar rears, arising from the non-accomplishment of engagements since the year 1828, is a serious and arduous one. The Go vernment does not think that the time has come to settle anything in this respect. Punctuality in payments, with the N:11 \s) \mrs.-4a, 'UN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRITARI l6, 1846. confidence it will inspire in the accomplishment of its obli gations and the execution of its treaties, and the successive regulation of the public debt, will, no doubt, hasten the critical time when this grave affair will be settled, and calm the anxiety of those who believe they have a right to require a just and lawful payment. The Craeinthen‘ does not disovixt this justice ; it is content to comply with it in the most indispensable cases, and when it is impossible not to do so." The principal Bills for the session are the Tariff Bill, the Clergy Bill, a Bill for the regulation of the press, and others relative to the corn trade and the national currency.

On Saturday, the 7th, the Three per Cents. closed at 33 at 60 days ; the Five per Cents., at 23i for cash, and 23& at 60 days ; and the Madrid and Aranjuez railroad shares, at 2,080 at 60 days. The Paris papers devote considerable space to the debates in the House of Commons, but the articles consist chiefly of summaries, and therefore possess no interest to the English reader. The sesames proposed by Sir ROBERT PEEL have evidently caused a strong sensation in France, which possibly may be compelled, in self defence, to imitate the example in a few years. In the Chamber:of Peers the report of a Committee appointed to examine the claims of Count DE LASSINAND, one of the Peers made by CHARLES X., to a seat in the House, was presented, and declared that the claim was not good, on the ground that the claimant had not obtained the KING'S consent. The only news of the slightest importance in the papers is given in paragraphs, some of which we subjoin:— The Courier. Francais says, "It is not to replace Ge neral Bedean in the command of the province of Constantine that the' Duke d'Aumale is to be sent to Algeria. We are informed that the Prince sets out furnished with extraordi nary powers of a very extensive character. It is a great re sponsibility which is placed on the Duke, but the extreme gravity of the situation sufficiently explains the mission con fided to him." The Minister of Marine has received a letter from Ad miral Leine, dated Decefaber 1, and enclosing a long report by Captain Trehouart of the affair in the Pa rana. As the particulars of the action have already been given so fully, we do not think it necessary to copy the report, but our readers will probably be pleased at our extracting the following passage, in which Captain Trehouart alludes to the co-operation of Captain Hotham, who commanded the English force. He says : . The most perfect concord did not cease for an instant to exist between Capt. Hotham and myself ; all our operations were resolved upon beforehand and executed on both sides with frankness and sincerity. It remains for me to request you tothank Admiral Inglefield for having given me a colleague so capable and so worthy of my esteem." Admiral Leine, in his letter to the Minister, earnestly recommends Captain Trehouart for promotion to the rank of Rear-Admiral. The Constitutionnel publishes a petition presented by the wife of the unfortunate Renzi, to the Grand Duke of Tus cany, three weeks before he was delivered up to the Papal Government. It is is extremely affecting, and is said to have moved the Grand Duke to tears ; but the stern laws of state policy prevailed over the feelings of humanity, and on the 24th ult. the Ministers of the Grand Duke overruled his desire to grant the petition, and gave up Renzi into the hands of the officers of the Pope. The following paragraph relative to the works on the Havre line appears in the Commerce :-- " Very alarming rumours were in circulation at the Bourse on Thursday, relative to the report of M. Frissard, the en gineer sent down to inspect the works on the llavre Rail way. It was even said that all the works were to be executed over again. We have inquired into the business and are enabled to state that M. Frissard's report, deposited some days past with the Minister of Public Works, declares all the tunnels to be perfectly solid, and that the plan proposed by the 'Company for reconstructing the viaduct of l3arentin, and for strengthening that of Malaunay, are such as ought to be approved of. The only difference of opinion arises on the works of this kind proposed for the viaduct of Mirville." The Courrier 1 rancais thus notices the last account• from Algeria :—" The news from Algiers of Feb. 5 are frightful, less by the gravity of the events in themselves than by the evident impossibility of foreseeing and warding off what is to happen. Thus, Abd- el-Kader is in the Hodna, amongst the Ouled Nails, on the limit of the Little Desert, and we have to think of covering the Mitidja, which is 60 leagues distant from the spot where the Emir happens to be. Thus, again, the appearance of Abd-el-Kader in the Hodna has necessi tated considerable movements of troops, which, as usual, will be of no use, because Abd-el-Kader will re-appear at 50 leagues from the spot where they are going to seek him before our troops have had time to reach the point where he now is."

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool on Saturday was quiet. Sales 3,000 bales, all to the trade. — The Stock Exchange, it appears, is in future to be re-opened on Saturdays, but the transactions recorded in the list received this morning are not of importance. The character of the private advices from the United States by the Hibernia steam-ship, is considered very satis factory. By the bye this morning complaints were made in many quarters at the non-delivery of most of the letters brought by the steamer named. Up to twelve o'clock scarcely a fifth part of the merchants of the City had their communications in hand. These letters we have seen are full of hope that the Oregon question will be settled, without an appeal to arms, the more so as on the other side of the Atlantic brighter prospects had been opened as to trade, should, as was fervently hoped, the measures of Sir Robert Peel be carried into operation. With respect to Canada, we regret to find that political dis sensions between the French and British colonists were on the increase. This is the more to be re gretted as a handle might be made of it to induce the war party in America to goad on] hostili ties with Great Britain. 'The colonists, of French origin, complain that in the United Legislature they have not had their fair share of patronage; and, further, that the laws passed since the provinces were joined have tended to their disadvantage rather thine otherwise. No doubt pre judice has carried this party too far in their feelings ; but cautious in en think that the wishes and wants of the Lower Prorince have Not been so consulted as might have been the case'. The meeting that had been held at Montreal, relative to the striking of a new boundary line was considered an absurd mtovement, except among those who for ulterior purposes wet •e desirous of exciting a bad feeling between the United States, and the British Government. It is satisfactor s v to find that public atten tion was directed in all the British North American Colonies, to the subject of promoting the extension of, railways, which continu ed to excite a most lively interest. One of the larvest meetings ever held in the colony took place at the Cit:v Hall at Quebec on the 14th January, m favour of the railway from Quebec to Halifax. The Gazette, upon this topic, terms the plan a national one. All the speakers Were most unanimous in their opinion in favour of the project. A shade of variation has only tak en place in the Consol Market to-day. The market may up on the whole be repre sented as firm. For the Account, Consols have fluctuated only, from 96% to 96%, and for Monev from 96% to 96%. The Three-per-Cents.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY CORN EXCHANGE--MONDAY -•-- ; The past week's arrivals of English Wheat for our market were on a very Moderate scale, while those of all other kinds of grain of home produce were by no means extensive. Of Irish Oats the receipts were again limited ; but the general receipts of foreign corn were, the time of year considered, moderately good. Fresh up, to-day, we received about an average quantity of Wheat coastwise from Essex and Kent, but by laud carriage and sample very little came to hand ; hence the show of samples of both red and white was rather small. On the whole the attendance of both town and country dealers was somewhat on the increase ; but, owing to the pending discussions on the subject of the corni-laws ix the House of Commons, the demand for English Wheat was not to say active. However, for the finest descriptions, there was a steady sale, at fully last week's quotations ; but the middling and infhrior qualities, though not cheaper, hung heavily on hand, and a clearance of such was with difficulty made. The general condition of the Wheat here to-day was by no means good. The quantity of Foreign Wheat was small; yet, a 3 the holders were firm, the trade with that article was in a very sluggish state, at unaltered currencies. Bonded samples of Wheat were held at higher rates ; hence, the transactions in it were very trifling ; so small, indeed, that prices may be considered next to nominal. Notwithstanding the fresh arrivals of Barley from our own coasts, as, also from abroad, have been less than those reported for some time past, the quantity actually on offer, and which principally conslted of last week's unsold samples, was more- than adequate to meet the wants of the buyers. The Barley trade was, therefore, heavy, at a decline in the quotations of is per quarter. Even at that amount of depres sion a clearance was not effected. The show of Malt was not large ; nevertheless, the inquiry for it was heavy, at barely but at nothing quotable beneath last week's prices. The receipts of Oats from Essex. Lincolnshire, and Cambridgeshire have been somewhat on the increase ; while we had several parcels of free foreign in bulk on slow. From Ireland very few cargoes have been reported since our last. All kinds of Oats were a very dull sale, yet we have no alteration to notice in their value. The supply of Beans was moderately good. All kinds sold heavily, at late rates. For Peas the inquiry was very inactive ; while Flour hung on hand, at late rates. Seeds of all kinds commanded very little attention.

At most previous corresponding seasons of the year (arising from the Dutch ports—whence we have been accustomed to receive the largest portion of the Beasts and Sheep into the metropolis, as well as the outports—being closed by ice), the arrivals of stock from abroad were on a very limited scale; so small, indeed, that they were unworthy of special remark. This season, how ever, from its unusual mildness, the imports have considerably exceeded those of any former period, as must be evident from the returns we have from week to week laid before our readers. Towards the close of 1845, some of the Dutch rivers were partly frozen over ; hence the operation of shipping cattle was a matter of some difficulty. This circumstance, hewever, acted as an incentive on the part of the Dutch graziers to avail themselves of other modes of convey ance for their stock hither than steam-packets; hence several sailing vessels, evidently built for the express purpose, and four of which have arrived in the Thames during the past week, were procured, and the cattle was placed on board at the edge of the ice ! The navigation having suddenly opened, with little or no prospect of its being again closed this winter, the steamers are now bringing their cargoes as usual. We mention this circumstance merely for the purpose of showing the efforts making by the cont inental g razie rs to supply our markets tothose engaged in them, as the speculations with live stock. Notwit hstandin g the immen se numbers of Beasts and Sheep which have alre ad y reached us fr om Holland and else where, E te r e , those hu i it is, i ee s pia d oof t he present c u e t d ye rbeyondy profitable a dot, u b year e a especiallyr(under the influence of a total repeal of the import duties, should such a measure be sanctioned by the Legislature) will exceed in number, and, perhaps, in quality, those since the present measure has been in operation. The experiments made In this country to fatten foreign stock imported in a lean state having failed in almost every instance, owing to the change of food being prejudicial to the animals, it is fair to presume that the future imports will go into immediate consump tion, and have a depressing influence upon prices. Most of the beasts which have as yet arrived here have been fattened in the various distilleries at Rotterdam, Schiedam, and Harlingen, whence we have received advices to the effect that there are, at this moment, nearly or quite twenty thousand Beasts in course of fattening for our markets, a large number of which will be shipped in the next three months. During the past week the imports into London have amounted to 3il Oxen, per the John Bull, from Hamburgh i 168 Cows, 1 Oxen, and 207 Sheep, per the Magnet, from Harlingen; 73 Cows, 23 Oxen, and 171 Sheep, per sailing vessels, from (Schiedam; 13 Oxen, 11 Cows, and 112 Sheep, per the Columbine, from Rotterdam. The quality of these imports has been a full average one. At the outports, scarcely any arrivals have been reported. To-day we had on sale 200 foreign Beasts and 300 Sheep, nearly the whole of which were disposed of at about previous quotations. From our own grazing districts the arrivals of Beasts up to this morning's market were somewhat less than those exhibited on this day se'nnight ; but the quality was decidedly good. The attendance of buyers being semen hat extensive, the Beef trade was steady, at in some instances, an advance on last week's prices, of td per 81bs. A few of the very primest Scots were disposed of at 411 6d per albs; but the more general figure for that breed was 4s 4d per Blbs, at, which a good clearance was effected. The droves from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, comprised 500 Beets, mid lands, and short-horns ; from the northern districts 600 short horns ; from the western and midland counties, 75Q Herefords, Devon, Runts, See. ; from other parts of England 350 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 100 Scots, and from Ireland 60 Beasts. The numbers of Sheep were again small, or about 8,000 less than at the corresponding market day in 1845. Prime old Downs moved off steadily at full prices. In other kinds of sheep comparatively little last week upon the falling off in the numbers of Sheep shown here in Instead of the falling off being was doing, yet the quotations were supported. While commenting 1845 an important error occurred. 300, as we then stated, the actual deficiency was 300,000. There were about 2,000 shorn Sheep on offer this morning. The few prime Lambs on offer commanded a ready sale at 7s perSlbs. Theln Calves very little was doing at las t week's depressed currencies.pf Ireland. Pork trade was steady at late rate s.

'From Scotland, the north of England, as well as from most other quarters, the arrivals of slaughtered meat up to these markets since Monday last have been on a very moderate scale, though of full average quality.

The imports of Wool into London since our last report have been on a very limited scale, viz., about 400 bales, chiefly from the Cape and Constantinople. Privately, a full average amount of business is passing in British Wools, at extreme currencies, but Foreign and Colonial parcels—arising from the forthcoming public sales—are a slow inquiry, at barely stationary prices. - - TALLOW. The delivery for the past week has again fallen off, from, we be lieve, the reason given in our last Monday's statement. The price for duty paid Tallow is very firm, and there are buyers of Y.

OSBORNE AND SURMAN. The arguments in this part-heard appeal, with respect to the will of the late Mr. Wood, the banker, of Gloucester, were resumed this morning, and occupied their Lordships the whole day. • QUEEN'S BENCH—(THIS DAN.) (Before Mr. Justice WIGHTPAAN.) BREACH OF PROMISE.—MART ELIZABETH SMITH V. WASHING TON LORD BERBERS. This case, which excites an extraordinary degree of inte rest. was resumed this morning. Mr. Smith, farmer, father of the plaintiff, was the first witness examined this morning. He was examined by Mr. M. CHAMBERS--His evidence corroborated the opening state ment of the Solicitor-General. He knew many of the letters addressed to his daughter to be in Lord Ferrers' hand writing. Mrs. Smith examined by Mr. Rosman—Witness was mother of the plaintiff. Her daughter went to reside with her aunt at Tamworth when she was eight years of age, and returned to her home at Austrey when fourteen. It was then Christmas-time. She remained at home one year, and then left for London, spending the vacation in France. She again returned to Austrey in the Midsummer of 1841. She recol lected Lord Ferrers, when Lord Tamworth, being at Austrey. That was before her daughter went to London. She knew then that some attentions were being paid to her daughter, and it was partly in consequence of these attentions that she was sent to London. He went abroad, and when he returned he took an opportunity of seeing her, and she (the-witness) was informed of it. She saw letter No. 1 in the beginning of the year 1844. The letter was shown by her daughter .the day she received it. Hy the ATTORNEY -GENERAL.—She did not see her re ceive it. By Mr. Rom:mot—Her daughter received the letter at the time, and she herself read it at night to Mr. Smith. She , had also seen the other letters produced in Court after she had seen the first one. She had seen each of them about the time they bore date. She recollected a handkerchief being sent fremher house to Lord Ferrers. There were two sent, but at:different times. They were of the same pattern—ofsilk— with a small running border. The first was sent in February or March. It was before the receipt of letter No. 2 that the .Ark; letter was sent. The handkerchief was marked with the letter F. It was marked with Miss Smith's hair. She (witness) folded the handkerchief in an envelope, with a letter. She did not recollect the contents of the letter, but was in the room when_ her daughter wrote it. The letter was signed, fur she (wit ness) folded the letter• herself, and could therefore observe that it was signed. It was then given to John Lees (an under tenant) to post. She sealed it, and it was directed to the Right Hon. Earl Ferrers, Chartley Castle, Staffordshire. She also folded the second handkerchief, which was marked in a similar manner.. A young woman residing with them at the time marked the first handkerchief, and the sister of one of the servants marked the second. The latter was not so well marked as the first. Letter No. 3 was received after the receipt of the second handkerchief. She did not see the letter written with the second handkerchief until it was placed in the envelope. She saw the letter after it was written. It was also addressed to the Right Honourable the Earl Ferrers. She directed the envelope herself. This also was given to John Lees to be posted. Witness accompanied her daughter in April, 1844, to Staf fordshire. They were attended by a man-servant. They went for the purpose of meeting Lord Ferrero at Stafford; but they did not see him. They stayed all night at Stafford, and returned the following morning. They went to a place called Syerscote, where witness's father lived, on the following day. There they saw also Mrs. Perry, and her daughter then wrote a letter to Lord Ferrers. Witness saw that letter, and read its contents. She then herself put it into the Tam worth post. ,It was directed as the others had been Some time after an answer was received to that letter. She re ceived a letter from the Earl before he got hers. The letter received by her was No. 5. She received that letter a few days after her return frOm Stafford. She recollected another letter written by her daughter, and given to Mrs. Perry, who posted it at Lichfield. She saw the letter, but did not read it. That letter was also addressed to Earl Ferrers. Her daughter showed her letters No. 9 and B. The letter B was addressed to Mr. Smith, and after he had read it she saw it. Her husband replied to it in two or three days. She thought the letter was received on a Tuesday and replied to on a Friday. Mr. Smith read the answer to her. Mr. Hol gate also saw it. Witness sealed it, and it was directed, "The Lord Ferrers, Chantley Castle." Witness was going to Ashby the following morning, and the letter was in the interval put into a drawer, that was generally kept locked in the bookcase. On the next morning Mr. and Mrs. Holgate, her daughter, and herself went to Ashby, and witness put the letter in the post. She recollected hearing at Ashby that Lord Ferrers had married another lady. Before that time preparations had been made for Miss Smith's marriage with his Lordship, and everything was ready. Her daughter had been some time at school, and could write English gramma tically. . . Cross-examined by the Arronaexy-Gxrianar.--The dresses Were made by Mrs. Lees, of Appelby. The brides maids were her cousins, Misses Smith. All these pre parations were made without any personal communication with Lord Ferrers. He had signified his wishes that the prepa rations should go on in his letters. He mentioned his wish to marry her in May. Some of the dresses were not com pleted then, but they were in a state of forwardness. They were all to be completed in June or July. She might pro bably have ordered the bridal dresses in June. Some of the cakes were received in June, and they might have been ordered in May. What had been ordered were not deemed sufficient by Lord Ferrers, and more were ordered. Two had been ordered in the first place, and two others after. Part were made by Mrs. Goodman, at Ashby, and part at Leicester. Her daughter wrote a good letter, and understood French. She was not generally fond of novel-reading : they lived in the country, and seldom saw one. She might have read one in one or two months, not more. Her father subscribed to a society. Her daughter was tall, neither very dark, or light with dark hair. Her daughter was be tween 14 and 15 when Lord Tamworth first paid her atten tions. When her daughter informed her, she did not inform Mr. Asblehurst, his tutor. They were net on visiting terms with that gentleman. They heard of Lord Ferrers going abroad, and of his return some short time before the death of his grandfather. Soon after his return there was a ball at Tamworth. She went with her daughter to that ball. They dressed at the house of Mr. Neville, at Tamworth. Witness recollected going to Miss Neville's room, but could not say what she might have said about dressing her hair. She did not remember saying any thing about her daughter's intention to wear a single rose. She did go the ball with a single white rose in her hair. Lord Ferrers was not there. She did not know that her daughter expected him there. She might have expected him, but of that witness could not be positive. After that her daughter did inform her that she had at differ ent times received presents of dresies, jewellery, and books from Lord Ferrers. This, might be in the beginning of 1843. She asked her daughter where she got the jewellery and dresses, and she informed her they were presents from Lord Ferrers. The books were sent. They were " The Queens 'of England ;" Miss Bremer's works; the Abbotsford edition of Scott's i works, and others. They were sent from' Mr. Thompson, of Tamworth, by Lord Ferrers' orders. Some of the dresses were of silk, some of cachemere, muslin, and so on. The material only was sent. The jewellery consisted of brooches and rings. They did not know where these things came from, until they discovered that they were not paid for. They made this discovery by the bills coming in. The dresses were had from Mr. Sale; the jewellery from Miss Baker; and the books from Mr. Thomson. She could not say who ordered them, but she paid for them. They were paid for partly from Mr. Smith's money, and partly from a 1001. borrowed from her grandfather. The whole amount might be 2001. Her daughter gave the bills of particulars to Earl Ferrers, who said he would pay for them, and the bills of amounts were sent to witness. Her daughter told her to borrow money from her papa or grandpapa to pay for these presents. Letter A, from Lord Ferrers to Mr. Smith, was written in the spring of 1844. The letter expressed the Noble Lord's sorrow for having caused any regret to Mary (the plaintiff). Witness did not receive letters from Earl Ferrers, but she saw her once coming up the'garden with one in her hand. She did not, however, see Lord Ferrers give her daughter the letters. Her daughter showed her two letters received from Earl Ferrers's brother, after their return from Harrowgate in July 1844. They were received the week aftei: Witness - did not see them received, as she happened to be out at the time. (The trial was proceeding when our report left.) COURT OF RE VIEW-(THIS DAY (Before Vice .Chancellor Sir J. L. KNIGHT BRUCE.) IN RE THE NEWTON BANK. The Totnes bank makes a claim against the estate of the Newton bank of 1,805/., which is disputed on the ground that the alleged agreement of 1834, on which the claim, rested, never existed. It seems that the partners in. both banks previous to that date were the same persons, sharing the like interest in both concerns, but that at that time an alteration took place, by which the banks at Newton and Totnes were erected into separate and independent concerns. The question in- dispute is, whether there was such an ar rangement about the debts of each as Evade the Newton bank liable to the claim made against it by the bank at Totnes. The case was opened by Mr. Swanston and Mr. Malins, whose arguments occupied the attention of the Court for three hours. When these were concluded, his Honour ad journed the further hearing till this day week, that certain of the partners might be brought up and examined. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner G[ormßußN.) IN RE This bankrupt carried on business as a grocer in the country, and to day was appointed for the choice of assig nees. During the case a point of 801110 importance arse under the following circumstani.les ;—An endeavotirlfad b een made to arrange with sonia of the creditors by giving pro missory notes for a cciulposition of lgs. in the pound. The notes, however,' nat b jns duly honoured, it was claimed to prove for the nrigkal amount ; the proof, however, was ob jected to., en tte ground that the acceptance of a bill for a '.mount extinguished the original debt, and that the Pr^..lif could only be for the amount of the bill. The Learned Comattssiowiat said the question was of im portance, but his opinion was, that if the bill was . not taken up when due the original debt existed. The solicitor to the fiat said the question was whettzer it could be proved whilst the security existed, the time ' J f pay ment not having expired? The bankrupt said hu had no means of taking it up. The Learned COMMISSIOI.SER, after referring to many cases, said that it appeared clear that nothing but a release could extinguish the debt unless the composition was fully carried out. Sir Robert Peel was again cupped on Friday, previous to his going to the House of Commons. The Earl of Ellenbor.ugh, and Admiral Bowles left town on Saturday, for 'Portsmouth. We regret to hear that General Lord Bloomfield, Commandant at Woolwich, continues indisposed. RAILWAY COM (THIS DA MITTEES. Y.) Sub• Committee No 1. This Committee met.,,this day at one o'clock; Mr. Strutt, Chairman. NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE (POTTERIES). Soon after the assembling of the Committee the room was cleared; and, upon the parties being called in, The CHAIRMAN said that with respect to the objec tion raised against the subscription contract in the case of the North Staffordshire (Potteries) line, the Com mittee had consulted the Speaker, as well as many legal authorities, with respect to the validity of the contract deed. The opinion of eminent lawyers was, that notwithstanding one of the trustees was himself unqualified to have his name attached to the contract, still the parties who were duly qualified could, in a court of equity, enforce the terms of such deed. It, however, appeared that with out the subscription of Mr. Garratt, the trustee in question, there was sufficient capital. That was so much in favour of the promoters, but it did not alter the non-compliance with the standing order. - Indeed he was of opinion that the order required some alteration to meet such a case as the present, for the principle would apply to a large number of Bills. The decision of the Committee was, therefore, unaltered, namely, that the standing order in this instance was not complied with. The Committee would, how ever report to the House the circumstances of the case. Mr. BURKE then called Mr. Burchel, of the firm of Kil gour and Parsons, to prove that without the amount of Mr. Garratt's liability, there was more than sufficient capital. This disposed of the case. There is no doubt of the non compliance being overruled by the Select Committee up stairs, the decision of the Sub-Committee being merel y a formal compliance with the standing order applying to the allegation. THE LEICESTER AND REDID'! n. The Committee then proceeded with this adjourned case. Mr. BURKE called a witness to prove that certain meadow tand was not properly shown on the plans and sections. Sub-Committee No. 4. The following Members of the Committee were present at twelve o'clock :—Sir W. Heathcote, Chairman, Mr. Hope Johnstone, and Mr. Acland. GREAT WESTERN AND WYCOMBE.

This morning, about seven o'clock, the utmost excitement prevailed in the neighbourhood of Great Wild-street, Drury lane, by the discovery of a most deliberate attempt at murder, very similar in its character to that recently committed at Newington ; and which, like that, is most likely to terminate fatally. The following particulars have been obtained from the brother of the victim ; and, no doubt, can be relied on : A Mr. James Bostock, a brass-founder, has a workshop at No. 4, Pitt-place, Great Wild-street, and resided in the house. It was usual for one of the ap prentices to call him up in a morning, and this was done by one of them, Cox, it is supposed, irf , the morning at the time above stated. Mr. Bostock came down in his shh.t, sleeves and apron, having been in the act of shaving, and a candle in his hand. He had no sooner Teacbed the door than the report of a pistol was head; and upon a man, named Goodwin, going to the passage, he found Mr. Bostock lying on the floor in a pool of blood, which had issued from a w ound under - the right ear. He was insensible, and conveyed to King's College Hospital, where he lies in a very dangerous state. The pistol was supposed to have - been loaded with slugs, as one wrs got out of the panel of the door, and is now in the hands of the police. A. lad named Cox purchased some powder at an oil shop on Saturday, and has not been seen since. It is stated that Mr. Bostock missed eight shillings last week, which he deducted from Cox's wages on Saturday, and thus it is that he is strongly supposed to have some connexion with the diaboliical act. At one o'clock little bopei were entertained of Mr. Bostock's recovery, nor was any one• in custody. Crowds were assem near the spot. bled --- ninny LANE THEAT3 LE.—W e have seldom seen so crowded an audience as the one assembled here on Saturday last, to witness Macfairen's - popular opera of Don Quixote, and the very successful and delightful ballet of The Island Nymph. Mdlle. Maria has confirmed the impression she created on the first night; and assisted by Mdlle. Neodot and M. Des places, the effect was complete. Drury Lane is completely the fashion, and most happy are we to record it. Davizetti has left Paris, in care of his Physician, for Nice. No hopes are eutertainefi of his recovery. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
