I , "T PIiBLIC JOURNALS. T' is Bishop of Exeter did pot receive much encouragement -t nia'..t to continue his p) nlippics against the Poor Law nicrenf:nt Bill. The No) ole Lords of the Right Rev. Pre ]; te . s own pmy either l zft House soon after his rising, to l e,p it their disapprobatiort or his invective, or flatly contra il' cted him. The Duke of Wellington, in his usual manly a)3 open manner, declared, I must say, that I approve of 1:::e measure so far as it has gone hitherto, and as I have wit • ssed its operation. Ido not talk of what I have seen gene ▪ ; I talk of the detail aof the management of the Bill -Irom having witnessed th it management in different work } ,uses in different parts o f the country in which I have re , ded." Having specified a number of the beneficial results • the Bill, his Grace 4concluded with the following ern ✓atic declaration :—" I say, my Lords, that this Bill ins produced these benefits, and, being convinced that it will effect still greater benefits, I should be ashamed • f myself if I did not step forward and avow at once any sentircemts, respecting it. I avow at once that supported the Bill at the time that his Majesty's Ministers )-: oposed it—(Hear)—that I do not repent of what I did on tat ocea..on in so supporting it—(Cheers)—but, on the con- Imry, that I rejoice in the part I then took, and that I now on grAtulate his Majesty's Ministers on its success."—( Loud he er 1 Lord Brougham intimated in very plain terms to the 'Right Rev. Prelate that he had both mistaken himself and wnistaken his audience. He had mistaken himself, for he adfeeted to entertain no hostility to the Bill, whereas he was :hostile to every part of it. He was against the power of the .jommisiioners, and the mode in which it was exercised ; he was against the bastardy clauses ; he was against the work /souse system ; he declared the law to be " unjust," " cruel," 4 " contrary to all principle," " oppressive," " uncharitable," and unchristian." The Noble and LearnediLord said, "He .felt, as one of the promoters of this measure, whose san guine expectations had been more than realised ; but he also Yelt great pleasure, under the grievous denunciations pro nounced by the Right Reverend Prelate, from the reflection -that persons holding the same rank and station with him no longer appeared there to sustain his sentiments." The Bishop Exeter is naturally a demagogue, possesses considerable rower over the ;,fissions, and would be a dangerous incendiary times when Swing is in the ascendant. , He could not feel ranch at his case under the dignified reproof of Lord Mel 'bourne, and the bitter sarcasms of Lord Brougham, to say rothing of his abandonment by his party. Lord Mel bourne's speech was every way _worthy of a statesman. His Lordship spoke with merited contempt of the dis graceful advantage which has been taken of the Bill toe electioneering purposes by the Tories. " I can not, my Lords," observed his Lordship, " express the ,arrow and regret that I have felt, when I con eider the complete absence of political feeling and party epirit that prevailed when this subject was debated in your Lordships' House (the same spirit that ought to prevail in the eidrainistration of such a law), wheti nothing occurred in that c:clate which could extend a bad feeling from this House to ~ther parts of the country ; considering this, I have, my Lords, been very sorry to see that popular feelings should be at terei,ted to he roused against this Bill—that the operation .if such a Bill should he; used for political purposes.— `.wear, hear.) That they should have been so used at the :ustings I exceedingly regret, because I think that the Bill lles been attended with the greatest advantage to the country." —( fLar, hear.) And yet we find the Chairman of the Aiirtellesex Magistrates, Sergeant Adams, who ought to have see a very different example, endeavouring to inflame the peo -nle against a law which, according to the leaders of the Tories, leis been one Ur the, most beneficial measures ever passed by a Leg islaturc.—lllooting Chronicle. Our commercial advices from Liverpool, dated on Wed needay, are more than usually important. On that day a Ovate meeting of merchants was held in the Town-hall. The .vas not formally called, but the parties assembled from lns which ha I been porsenally gisen in the course of There were upwards of thirty gentlemen see • ..g repre3entaVves of all the mercantile in s: rests in the port.

The Landed Gentry of England are s(7 , Wcsely wrought up with the stirring records of its eventful I.tc,tory, that some acquaintance with them is a matter of ne tessay shit the historical student, the speculator in politics, znd the curious in topographical and antiquarian lore ; and evert the very spirit of ordinary curiosity will prompt to a de t.:re. to trace the origin and progress of those families, whose i.,flaence p,-rvailes the villages and townships of our land. This wolk abounds in interesting anecdote, displays deep I,!storical research, and must rank among the first class of hoc publications which elucidate, or connect themselves with the auirls of our country; and, as such, is indispensable to the Ithrary of every gentleman. HUMAN LIFE. BY TIIE AUTBOR OF " TRE blAixE.."—" The author of these remarkable narratives, al though he must be ranked by this composition among the Iternest and most scrutinizing (and certainly among the most r owerful and accomplished) painters of human nature, is also a devoted and intellectual lover of it, and evidently worships fondly, where he severely criticises. The evil he indeed lays bare with a master's hand, and dissects society with the ease and precision of one in whom great natural powers are con trantly aided in their application by a thorough knowledge and deep and varied experience of the windings of his sub lect ; but that the 'good is as hundreds' is quite as clearly implied by the glimpses of it which we everywhere obtain, by the cheerful light which is continually breaking upon his page, 1y the purity of his literary taste, by the healthful character of }is moral reflections, and by the several portraitures of undis ruised and unmisgiving virtue with which his delightful narra tives are adorned."—Court Journal. THE GEnNIAN PRINCE IN AFRICA.—It were a work of slicer supererogation (obcervcs the Atherireum) to act the part of gentleman usher, or groom of the chamber, to this 'universally known, most locomotive and journalizing of Ger )nan Princes. Enaugh to say, that Prince Puckler Moskva, or—as he is pleased to affect a disguise—Semilasso, has trans term(' himself —ears, eyes, and pen inclusive—to Africa, and an his new work, " Semilasso in Africa, presents us with a ).icture sketched in his usual lively style, of Algiers, under its actual aspect of commingled and splendid Oriental barbarism, and French unpoetic civilization and polish. Semilasso made some excursions from Algiers : one with a French detach rient ; another into what may be called the out-works of i.rount Atlas, under the protection of an Arab chief, a ci-devant cbb , :,r, now the Caid of his tribe. His descriptions are very rood, and so are his sketches of Arab hospitality. Those ss ho read the German Prince's work upon England—sod vie know not a- more popular and entertaining book—will be still more delighted with his adventures in Africa, re counted in these entertaining volumes. evils t t • .0, The 1 I r n • 1 ) •ilk' ,:ti %, t httk to pr CO U liT CIRCULAR.

ENGLAND UNDER SEVEN ADMINISTRATIONS. —" This entertaining book, which abounds with sketches and anecdotes of all the most distinguished public characters of the last twenty years, is the production of Mr. Albany•Fonblanque (observes the Literary Gazette), so well known as one of the ablest political writers of the day. This new work cannot be read, without its being immediately evident that the author is an individual whose pen does honour to the literature of his country. His style is eminently pointed, epigrammatic, and penchant, and his satires on existing abuses are both able and just. Almost every subject of interest which has engaged public attention for the last ten years is discussed, and the re sult is a work which will be consulted by the politician and the man of the world for its profound views, and the lover of amusing literature for its wit and satire."

Those on the subject of Church-rates took prece dence. On the presentation of syveral petitions by the Bishop o f EXETER, regarding the Pour Law Amendment Act, a dismis sion of considerable interest ensued. The Duke of WELLING. TON declared his approval of the existing law generally. ert - -Gerd. Belili.,L.lLubour lid' was read a second tune by 1;:iliOli!y o f t 6 over 43. Petitions in favour of the abolition of Cbureb.rates were presented. A Indkrous petition from a recreant reporter mai presented, prayin g that no election should take place except only nhcn the King or Queen ascended the throne! The Post Office Girl was postponed till Friday in next week, Mr. LABOITHERE stiting, in reply t. 3 a qusstioi), Olt the object of the measure :YU only to consolidate, not to alter, the ixisting On the order of the DAy for proceeding with the Mutiny Bill, Lord G. Sova charg e ntszT addressed himself to the cha-e of . plrtiality which Capt. BER:;ELEY preferred on the prece ding' evening. Mr. HOPE contradicted the report respecting the alleged conduct of his relative with refereace to the Catholic Eman cipation Bill. Major FANcounT then brought Lc-Iv:LI-4, in an admirable speech, his annual motion for a Select Committee to inquire and report on the question of Military Punishments." The Hon. end Gallant Member's motion W. 24 of course lost; but on the division last night we arc gratified to find an accession of 32 votes as compared with the numbers last dear. Last right, in a Haute composed of 239 Members, 72 voted against the continuance or military torture. The Mutiny Bill and Marine Mutiny Bill both passed through Committee. The House then went into Committee on the Navy Esti mates. After they were gone through, and the Report had been ordered to be brought up on Monday, the House, at a Quarter past One o'clock, adjourned. For some time past the Torie.- have been bard at work, endeavouring to get up a popular claineur against tiic New Poor LAW Bill. In Parliament, and through their organs of th.,i Press, they hare been daily repre senting it as a mcrt inlquitous measure, fraught with the worst consepences to the community. They have put forth ex-parts statements, and reasoned upon these, just as if they were impartial, and gave a fair idea of the measure as a whole ; thereby rivalling the architect alluded to by old Flierocles, who carried about a liriek as a sample of the building. Yet with all these maneenvrings—with all this show of industry— the Tories have been unable to render the Poor Law Bill unpopular. Their motives in decrying it are so obvious—lie so completely on the surface, that no one thinks it worth his while to pay the slightest atten tion to their assertions. Nevertheless, they arc not discouraged, but pursue their game of chicanery with as much eagerness as though it were a thriving one. Last night, for instance, in the House of Lords, that rank Tory, the Bishop of EXETER, pounced tooth and nail upon the Poor Law Bill, con demning it in the most remorseless manner, while at the same time he professed to he anything but anxious for its repeal. He objected only to parts of it, he ob served, yet the tendency of his speech was to decry it in toto. In fact, it was an elaborate, sophistical discourse preached upon the text—as Lord BROUG HAM justly remarked—of " No Bill, nothing of the Bill, and anything but the Bill." But this is in exact accordance with the Rev. Prelate's usual mode of proceeding. He never comes straight to his point, but works round and round it, preferring to deal with insinuation rather than with frank argu ment. Inuendo is his favourite weapon of attack. He would have his hearers believe that he is all candour, all openness, when he is undermining the object of his hostility by every species of covert attack. What was his whole speech last night but a c raf ty attempt to undermine a measure which he w anted the courage openly to assail ? Against the rine* ha professed to have nothing to allege, yet he was throughout carp ing at it in the most insidious and persevering man ner possible ! As we become better acquainted with the Bishop's system of Parliamentary tactics, we are enabled to appreciate them at their proper worth. They arc ingenious but easily over turned, as Lord MELBOURNE proved last night, by the facility with which he parried all the Rev. Prelate's home-thrusts, and the ready, triumph.. ant manner in which he disposed of his most formi dable objections. The Duke of WELLINGTON, too, with his wonted candour, professed himself wholly opposed to the good Bishop ; and even Lord WYN FORD—the ultra-Tory WYNFORD—refused to row in the same boat with him. His Grace's observa tions on the subject are important, and will go far to silence all the cavilers against the Poor Law Bill. I consider it my duty," said the Noble Duke, " to ' come forward and state that this Bill has surpassed my expectation. Ido not talk of it generally, but of its details, from having myself witnessed its effects in work- houses in different parts of the country in which I have resided. It has put the la bourer and his employer on a truer footing, a friendly footing, and a footing of confidence ; and it has connected the man of property and the men of the highest rank in this country with the lowest classes." We suppose after this, the Rev. Prelate will hold his peace on the subject of the Poor•law Bill. In our Parliamentary report of the debate on Mr. WA LLAcE's motion relative to the Post-office, on Thursday evening, Mr. EWART is reported to have recommended to the consideration of the House the plan of a Mr. PIGOTT, for the conveyance of letters by means of stamped covers. This was a mistake. The Hon. Gentleman informed the House, that valuable suggestions had been made to him on the cheapest and best mode of conveying letters by Mr. ROWLAND HILL, and by Mr. DICKENSON ; but neither the Hon. Member himself, nor any other Hon. Gentleman who spoke on that occasion, made any reference to any individual of the name of PIGOTT. I Mr. ROWLAND HILL'S plan consists in establishing an uniform rate of postage throughout the Empire, which he thinks might not exceed a penny—the price now exacted by law for the conveyance of newspapers. Mr. DICKENSON is for stamped covers to be sold by the stationers, so that each letter would be post-paid of necessity to the receiver. Upon the merits of these plans we are not called upon to offer an opinion, nor shall we just now volunteer one. Nothing, however, can be more certain than that a reduction of the rate of postage to half its present amount would more than double the revenue produced by this branch of the Post -office business. The good otherwise would be truly incalculable. It seems to be quite true, as Mr. WHITTLE HAR VEY lately observed in the House of Commons, " that there is a re-action in railways ; and taking ad vantage of this feeling, every sort of stratagem appears to be resorted to by interested parties hostile to this great improvement, which must nevertheless, like other important reforms, go on, notwithstanding the vexa tious inconvenience and expenses which the promoters of some of these•undertakings are put, by the unworthy attacks and annoyances with which they are assailed. About a fortnight ago we called the attention of our readers to a motion made by Mr. PRAED on a peti tion presented in the name of a person of the name of LILL, as to the ability of a few of the subscribers to the City of London or Southwark and Hammersmith Railway to pay the amount of their subscriptions. We apprehend that all the Directors can do is to see that the deposits are paid, and if the parties be unable to pay further calls, the shares, as in all similar cases, must be forfeited ; but that the Direc tors can carry their investigation into the private affairs of every subscriber seems ridiculous. Poor LILL has, however, since petitioned the House, stat ing that he knows nothing whatever about the parties, and that he has only been made the instrument of others. The Southampton Railway Company have consequently come forward and shown the cloven foot, by stating that they believe the allegations of LILL's petition to be true ; on which frivolous grounds the City of Landon Railway, although before the Committee on tire Bill, which is the proper place for inquiring into any char, , c against them, is ordered before the Select Contmittee on the Dover and Deptford Railway. We should just like to see the subscription list of the Southampton Railway people themselves, which we darc, say was rotten enough, and as patched up as their line we understand is injudicious, and as the extra vagant and total expedture of their capital before their o crk is hail finished is notorious. Another attack of a difFerent kind was made by Mr. WILKs iln 'Fbursdav last, accusing the Directors of the City of London Railway of changing the title of their Bill, and although it must be now pretty well known that the change was made by the Clerks of the Table, or of the Journal Ofiiee, as has been done in several other cases, and with which the pro moters understood the SPEAKER had been satisfied, yet the parties are sent back to the sub-Committee on i)ctitions for private Bills, contrary to the Standing Orders of the House ; so that this Bill is now actually before three Committees. Thcso are grievances in the proc2dure of the House of Commons which call for reform ; but we trust that the City of London Railway, which pro mises to be of so much utility and ornament to the metropolis, will, notwithstanding this petty warfare against it, ultimately triumph. We have received the whole of the French journals of Thursday. France continued without a Cabinet. file KING had nearly exhausted all his resources, without being able to bring together the materials of a strong Government. It was supposed that ,if all would fail, a certain Princess would be charged with a mission to M. THIEII.S. We a:tnex all we find of any interest in the Journals : The Monitcur of this morning contaias in its official part the following ordinance of Louis Philippe, &c., being Art. 3 of the law of 22d March, 1831 : " On the report of our Minister, Secretary of State for the department of the interior, we have ordained, and ordain as follows :—Art. I. That the 4th company of the third bat talion of the sth legion of the National Guard at Paris is dis solved. " Art. 2. Our Minister, Secretary of State for the depart ments of the interior, is charged with the execution of the present ordinance. Given at the palace of the Tuilleries, April 4, 1837. LOUIS PHILIPPE. " The Peer of France, Minister Secretary of State for the department of the interior. " GASPARIN." The 4th company of the 3d battalion of the sth legion, nliich a few days ago chose Messrs. Hulat and Bastite as cap tains, has just been dissolved by aßoyal ordinance. The ordinance merely quotes the fifth article—the law relative to the Na tional Guard, which gives to the King the right to dissolve or suspend it in the several localities. Hitherto the exercise of this right has always been accompanied by a statement of the reasons. This was done when the citizens of Lyons, Sivas burg, Chalons, and Grenoble were dissolved, and when the Paris artillery and the two companies of the sth Legion were dis solved. This morning we read in the Journal de Paris— " Midnight.—We this moment hear that his Majesty has ordered M. Guizot to propose a Cabinet to him." The Journal des Debats, which is as much interested as the Journal de Paris in being well informed, says that Ministry is terminated, and that the only important fact of yesterday is that M. Guizot was sent for by the King at two o'clock in the afternoon.— Constitutionnel, April 6. A letter from Toulon, giving an account of the state of Algiers, says that " It does not seem possible that the expedi tion to Constantine should take place before September. Ge neral Bugeaud was still at Port Vendres on the 30th March, waiting till all the troops should be embarked, when he will take his passage in the Sphinx steam-boat. The mail from Calais had•not yet reached Calais this morn ing at ten o'clock, being doubtless detained by the snow, which had fallen all night and was still falling. The English journals arrived just before we went to press, from which we can only quote the price of stocks.—Journal du Commerce, April 6. The Court of Peers sat on Wednesday to hear M. BARTHE'S report of the crime of MEUNIER read. The reading of the Report occcupied the Court two hours and a half. The following is a summaty from the Correspondent of a Morning Contemporary. The public trial will commence on the 21st inst. : The acte d'accusation against Meunier, Lavaux, and Lacaze is at this moment in the hands of the engrossing clerks. Copies Of it will, if possible, this evening be served on the accused. Lavaux is the only one of the prisoners who has yet made choice of counsel ; he is to be defended by M. Ledru Rollin. Meunier and Lacaze (if they name none themselves) are to be defended ex officio by M. Delangle, the senior member of the Paris bar, and M. Paillett. From what has trans pired respecting the contents of the act of accusation, Lavaux is seriously implicated in the affair. It appear t that his establishment was doing little business, and yet he' vas observed never to want for money, and no one could . tell where he procured it. He generally we nt out m a cabriolet every moining, and remained abroad the entire day, but how he employed his time was a complete mystery. He generally cased the cabriolet to stop at a _distance from the place he was going to, and aserved the same precaution when he was returning home. lie kept Meunier strictly under his control, and having made a peculiar stud) of his disposition, he could, it seems, manage him as he pleased. Lavaux had given po sitive orders that not a word about politics should be uttered in his house, and whole months elapsed without either he or Meunier opening their mouths, even to one another, on the subject. The plan for murdering the King was conceived about fifteen months since, and one night, after an orgie, Meunier, Lavaux, and Lacaze, drew lots to know who should kill Louis Philippe. The lot fell upon Meunier, who at first conceived it to be a plaisanterie, and it was only when urged to fulfil his engagement that he seriously thought of perpe trating the crime. The unfortunate wretch Meunier has been the victim of his inordinate vanity, for, if defied to commit the most extravagant act, lie would not hesitate one instant to undertake it. Lavaux would be sometimes a couple of months without reminding Meunier of his promise ; but on the approach of any public feast, at which the King was obliged to appear, he never failed to urge him to the commission of his crime. Meunier states, that six months ago, on the pressing solicitation of Lavaux, he had gone out to Neuilly, armed with a saddler's knife, for the pur pose of stabbing the King. Meunier relates a conversation he had with Lavaux, on the Boulevard des Varictes, on the eve of a national feast. Lavaux said to him—" To-morrow a favourable opportunity will offer to redeem your pledge, but as you may be killed in the attempt, take care to remove the mark from your linen." Lavaux denies having used those ex pressions, as he does, indeed, all the charges brought against him by Meunier; but there are a variety of facts also denied by him, which are attested by respectable witnesses, a cir cumstance which would seem to prove that Meunier is tell ing the truth. One day when confronted, in presence of Baron Pasquier, with Meunier, Lavaux, in a moment of an ger, said, " Meunier has accomplices ; he could name them to you ; but lam not of the number." Meunier replied, " If I have accomplices, so much the worse for you, for it was you who introduced me to them." Though pressed by by the President, he would say no more. Meunier describes in most forcible terms the acute remorse he often felt when he thought of the crime lie had undertaker[ to commit; but his vanity, and the empire Lavaux had over him, soon strengthened him in his fatal resolution. A few days before the 27th of December lie had conceived the idea of putting an end to his existence by poison. On another occasion, after a secret interview with Lavaux, at which a plan had been laid to kill King Louis Philippe, lie fell into an epilep tic fit, during which he was heard to utter these words by all the clerks and parsons in the employ of Lavaux :—" Louis Philippe," he exclaimed, " if thou hest any accounts to settle with Heaven, think of thy soul, for I have come out of heaven with this dagger to plunge into thy bowels." Meunier excuses Lacaze, as much as possible, and it is expected, that although he had a full knowledge of Meu nier's intentions, and may, in fact, be considered as his ac complice, he will escape with his life. The Committee of the Court of Peers have endeavoured by all means to ascertain if Meunier and Lavaux were members of the Societe des Families, but could not discover their affilia tion thereto, although Meunier's name figures on the lists of three sections, not as a member, but as a man on whom full reliance could be placed. It was thought that Meunier had been present at a dinner given by the association, in December last, at Grenelle ; but no certainty existed of his having been one of the guests. An individual, initiated into the society on that occasion, did not recognise Meunier. He mentioned having been sworn in by four persons, who withdrew imme diately after, and whom lie never saw since. Very little was said on politics during the dinner, but the following significant toast was drunk after:—" Honour to Alibaud 1 and disgrace and abhorrence to Fieschi !" FRENCH FUNDS—Pear., Arm 6.

A Royal decree announcing the retirement of Senor LOPEZ from the Home Depart ment appears in the official columns of the Madrid Gazette. His successor is Senor PIO PITA PIZARRO, an ultra-Liberal, and an honest well-meaning man ; but it is doubt.ed whether he possess that vigour of in tellect which is requisite to the successful direction of the affairs of Spain. The ostensible cause of LOPEZ'S retirement is ill health ; but had he laboured under no physical infirmity his manner had so alienated from him the personal esteem of his Sovereign that he could not have remained much longer in office. The Royal De cree, announcing the retirement LOPZZ from the Home Office appeared in the Gazette of the 28th, and on the same day the Ex-Minister appeared in the Cortes, and took his seat on the front bench of the opposition. This is equivalent to a declaration that he is at open war with the Cabinet, and will neither give nor take quarter. He is much more to be dreaded as an oppo nent than desired as a colleague. The more timid among the Madrid politicians were convinced that the retirement of lioPEz would prove the precursor of another outbreak among the political Juntas, and that the Minister only quitted office to he ready to place himself at the head of them. Such an event was certainly predicted by Senor CALVO DE RosAs, whose agents in Barcelona, and throughout -Andalusia, were at work, re-organizing the materials of another ultra-Liberal movement. In the cities of Granada, Malaga, and Zaragossa, the Exaltados have been for some time doing all- in their power to make their fellow-citizens discontented with certain verbal alterations and omissions in the new Constitution. These men know" nothing about the liberty they are perpetually clamouring for ; and, in point of fact, seek only to throw the country into a state of general anarchy. We are only surprised at the apathy-,- the culpable apathy of the Cortes, who permit such public incendiaries to cast their brands among the people. We are further surprised at the seeming in difference with which that assembly chooses to regard the aspect of affairs in the north of Spain. No mea sures have yet been taken by that body to stimulate the activity of the Executive, and thus with ample means of restoring tranquillity to the nation at their disposal, the Cortes peril a kingdom rather than suffer them selves to be diverted from the perfecting of a parch ment Constitution. There is a report that CORDOVA is about to return to Madrid, where he expects to he honoured with the post of Captain-General of New Castile ; and if it prove correct, he will not be long ere he make work enough for the Cortes. His brother, Colonel CoaDovA, is in high favour with the Re gent, and her MAJESTY is no longer averse to the return of the hero of Arlaban, who at present enjoys the confidence and friendship of the CITIZEN KING. The influenza had seized upon one-third of the in habitants of Madrid. In no instance had its attacks terminated fatally. Our advises from the North of Spain are to the 2d instant. Of General RIBEIRO'S division, 500 men had arrived at San Sebastian from Portugalette, and other reinforcements were preparing to leave Bil boa to join General EVANS' division. Both Christinos and Carlists were in a state of inactivity—wherefore we know npt, for the weather was favourable, and the soldiers were ready to take the field at an hour's notice. Colonel WYLDE, who had returned from his visit to ESPARTERO, stated that there were no fewer than 28,000 troops in Bilboa, of which he insisted that 10,000 should be sent to • San Sebastian. Another movement upon Irun or Fontarabia may be confidently expected in the course of a few days. LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.

When the Learned Judges tool: their seats on the Bench,. Mr. C. JONES applied to have a trial in which he was con-- corned fixed for some particular day. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE said it was out the power of the• Court to make any such arrangement until the case of Green acre had been disposed of. It was specially fixed for ten o'clock on Monday morning, and the Lord Chief Justice had taken home the depositions, in order that he might make him self acquainted with the nature of the case. Till that case was disposed of, the Court cuuld not fix any other with any certainty. Simeon Stammers was indicted for the manslaughter of Wm. Thomas Wright, on the 3d of March last, in the parish of St. George, Southwark. The prisoner was also given irt charge to the Jury for the same offence upon the Coroner's inquisition. Dr. Hughes attended to and prescribed for the boy ; and, from the appearances he observed, he thought he had received injury from some external cause. He made a post mortals examination of the body, and found the midriff much ulcerated. He had no doubt the cause of the ulceration was external vio lence, and might undoubtedly be caused by a kick. In his opinion the cause of the death of the boy was violence. Mr. DOANE addressed the Jury for the prisoner, and called two boys, who said they had seen the deceased fighting in February when he got severe falls. Mr. CLARKSON replied. The Learned JUDGE summed up, and the Jury returned a verdict of—Guilty. The Grand Jury, having finished their labours, made a pre sentment of thanks to the Sheriffs and Under-Sheriffs for their attention to them showing them over Newgate ; they also begged to state their approbation of the state in which they found the prison. They also folt it their duty to state the pleasure they felt in bearing their tes;ingony to the efficiency and good conduct of the New Police. THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Our arrivals this morning are the French and Ostend mails ; and ship-letters from Calcutta, of the 11th of Decem ber, and Cape of Good Hope, of Feb. 1. A report prevailed at Bayonne that the united bands of Ca brera had been defeated in the mountains of Hornillo, between Murcia and Andalusia, by General Espinosa; from whom was taken a rich booty, with .500 prisoners. Should this be true, no fear can be entertained for the safety of Madrid. Accounts from Cadiz state that the English ship Russet arrived there on the 19th ult. with 11,000 muskets. On the 20th ult. another fire took place at Santander, which was to a greater extent than that of the 6th ult. It is stated that the loss experienced amounts to two millions of francs. Accounts from Bayonne say that the three Queen's Generals have it in contemplation to force the Carlists to a battle in the plains of Tolosa. The army of Espartero is to occupy on the Bth instant the right bank of the river Deva. It is also stated that General Scoane left Bilboa on the 30th for Ondarrosa, at the head of two regiments of the line and some cavalry. Se veral detachments of the army of Navarre have received orders to proceed on the side of Berrueta. We have received Cape of Good Hope papers to the 29th January. We extract the following : " We are happy to learn that the Savings Bank at Grahanerl Town has received, during the past year, in additional dept sits, upwards of 30,0001. A considerable portion belongs to soldiers." These papers are filled with indictments at' the Criminal Sessions respecting a challenge to fight a duel. The report circulated in Graham's Town, and which was spoken of there, that the Boors on the northern frontier had killed a whole party, including the Lieut.-Governor, Colonel Peddie, was unfounded. The supplies being rather small, the prices of produce in the market advanced. The Constitutionnel (Paris paper), received this morning, states that a military insurrection broke out at St. Peters• burgh, owing to a regiment being punished. It was about to be decimated, which had caused great excitement in the ca pital. Details of this event are expected by the next express• THE FUNDS. So important was considered the situation between the Ants• rican houses and the Bank of England, that a communication took place between the Bank Directors and the Treasury or the subject. The result was, that the assistance required was given to the American houses without security, on conditiot that they should not enter into new engagements, but wind up their affairs, under the superintendence of the Bank. A meeting took place at Liverpool of the mercantile inte. rest of that town, when it was proposed that every man though he might not require assistance himself, might corn( forward and endeavour to procure assistance for his friends, ti enable them to pass the present crisis, and to hold their stocl of produce until a better price could be obtained for the various articles they were in possession of. It was also propose that a deputation should proceed to London to lay the want! and wishes of the merchants of Liverpool before the Goverr! ment. The resolutions at the meeting were passed unani• mously —deputies were then chosen to proceed to Londja, anc may be expected in town to-day.
