It is with the deepest regret that we have ob served the extraordinary increase that has taken place within a short time back in murderous assaults, in the unmanly and un-English practices of having re course to deadly weapons on every trifling provoca tion. Already, within this year, two of our fellow creatures have expiated, by a disgraceful death on the scaffold, the grievous offences of which they had been guilty, and by which the victims of their revengeful feelings were hurried into eternity without a moment's time for preparation for the awful change they were about to undergo. In the first of these cases, that of the man QUENNELL, he had been discharged from the situation he had pre viously held, in consequence of statements made to his brother and employer by another man in the same service; he forth with procured a pistol, and in a crowded thoroughfare, in the bright face of day, he deliberately deprived his fellow -creature of life. Shortly afterwards an apprentice boy, who had, or fancied he had, cause to complain of undue severity on the part of his master, deliberately murdered that master standing on the threshold of his own door, whither he had gone to give admittance to bis assassin. In each of these cases the cause that led to the fatal results may be traced to the facility with which ; the instrument of death may be procured and retained, the familiarity with its use that results from a continued possession, and the having at hand the means of giving effect to the most bloodthirsty feelings in the very moment, or at least in the first heat of anger, without time being permitted to elapse sufficient for the cooling down of the pas sion, and the recollection of the fearful consequences that might result from its indulgence. Within the last few days a trial has taken place at the Central Criminal Court that demands the most earnest attention of parents and others acting as the guardians of youth, and loudly warns against the indulgence of the pernicious wish for the possession of fire-arms. A lad, aged sixteen years, stood at the bar, charged with having deprived an innocent man of life—a per son wholly unknown to him, who was casually passing through the street on his lawful business. There was no evidence that the parties had ever met before, or to induce the suspicion of any feeling of hostility existing in the mind of the prisoner towards the deceased. The prisoner was, therefore, not charged with wilful murder, but with the lesser offence of manslaughter. The law in such case is per fectly clear and distinct. In the words of the Learned Judge, if a person having a deadly weapon in his possession makes use of it in a negligent or careless manner, and death ensues in consequence, the offence would be manslaughter. It appeared that a few in nutes before the fatal occurrence the prisoner had entered into an altercation with a young woman, who had accidentally pushed against him, and that he pro duced the loaded pistol, making use of threats towards her. Two men saw him pass with the pistol in his hand, the manner in which he carried it may be conceived from the evidence of the witness fixru- AWAY, who states that on seeing him the witness stepped aside, being fearful that he might be shot. The witness KIMBER saw the prisoner with the pistol in his hand, and shortly afterwards heard the report of fire-arms ; at the time there was no one near enough to the prisoner to touch him ; it appeared to him that the prisoner was in the act of half cocking the pistol at the time it wen ---- off. The jury, notwithstanding this evidence, which was not contradicted or impeached in any manner, acquitted the prisoner, and thus practically found that the person who had pulled out a loaded pistol, and with it threatened a female—who walked with it in his hand, so as to alarm a passer-by—and who cocked it in the streets—had not acted in a negli gent or careless manner. We are at all times unwilling to impeach the decision of a jury; we fully concur in the benign principle of the British law, that it is better that one hundred guilty persons should escape than that one single innocent parson should be convicted, and that if a doubt be enter. tained, the prisoner should receive the benefit of that doubt ; but we confess that in this case we cannel agree with the jury in the conclusion at which they have arrived. A duty of vast importance devolved upon them—the interest of society demanded at their hands a verdict which would protect the public against the repetition of such recklessness and indiscretion ; and valuable lives here after may be lost—may pay the penalty of their undue leniency. We do not in the slightest degree question the motives of the jury, but persons filling such responsible a situation should not permit any feelings of pity, or idea of the consequences to the accused, to warp their judgment, or induce them to find a verdict contrary to the evidence. Our readers will not have forgotten the extraor dinary number of public demonstrations upon the commercial policy of Government which were simul taneous with the opening of the present Parliament. Nor will they fail to recollect the gradual diminution in the number' of these demonstrations in proportion with the development of the discussion in he Lower House. The free-traders were so assured of victory that any further persistence in their assemblies and their petitions to the Legislature appeared to be nothing less than a superfluous impertinence. They recognised in the abrupt silence of their mammoth advocate, " the League," the glorious fact that their industry in peaceful agitation had not proved altogether fruitless, that those principles which had been revolving in the popular mind during so many years of apparent apathy had now acquired the requisite impetus, and were rolling with an unerring celerity towards the goal for the attainment of which they had struggled so much, spoken so much, longed so much, been reviled so much. Consequently this sudden declension of anxiety, far from originating in any sentiment of indifference about these wonderful in novations in our system as a mercantile people, arose from the feeling of satisfaction with which the inh abitants of this country per ceivedznarest anticipations on the eve of all th eir being realised, public ro ee ti n an an g b t e lle monopolists, on the con trary,frequent, because of th e e :;: hu l rre and more tui tion, and because of the rut" ) , li linen of their heir numbers of their numbers when compared with lation. All intere st abandoned the the toaverage popu -4411; and the corporation banquet-rooms, and even Covent-garden Th ea tre itself,; to become concen trated upon the deliberations and divisions of St. Stephen's. Hence has a risen that unexampled tran quillity " out-of-doors" du ring the debate of such unprecedented changes in some of the most fun damental principles of the Constitution—a tran quillity which has been foolishly mentioned as a testimony rather of calamitous apathy than of inexpressible earnestness. It is this very tran quillity which we regard with such peculiar gratifi cation both as accordant with the great spirit of this century and as evidence of the wider spread of do mestic civilization, Though of anything but a phlegmatic or atrabilious temperament, the English multitude is proverbially loath to embroil itself in political questions vi et armis, or by any unne cessary show of insubordination, to partake bodily in the effervescence of party squabbles or legislative cabals. JOHN Berm, though unquestionably a very uproarious and outrageous fellowlwhen " roused," is, nevertheless, extremely scrupulous of "taking up the cudgels," unless he observes either the ne cessity or advisability of such a proceeding. Precisely for these very cogent reasons did the HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. - After which (for this occasion only), Gnecco's Opera Buffs, LA PROVA D'UN OPERA SERIA.

CONFLAGRATION AT THE BARRACKS OF HORF NEAR BitISTOT..—On Satu r d a y n i g h t, at about ten o'clock,l3; most alarming conflagration was discovered to have broken nut in the saw mill and timber stores of the new barracks for Bristol, the distance from Bristol being upwards of two miles, and it having been there supposed that the light in the horizon, which was most clearly seen from every part of the el y, was the Aurora Borealis, a considerable time elapsed before the engines arrived, and by that time the whole of the engine the saw mills, carpenters' shops, and vast quantities of timber which lay around, were completely enveloped its flames. The extent of the loss is understood to be about 3,000/. ALA.II)IING FlRE.—Shortly before eight o'clock on Saturday night, an alarming fire was discovered raging upon the premises in the occupation of Mr. II ridgeway, a pianoforte manufacturer, Noel-street, Soho. The flames originated, from some - cause at present unknown, in the first floor, in which a deal of work was deposited. The stock being of an easily ignitable character, the fire progressed most fear fully, and very speedily the flames were to be perceived rushing out of the windows, both front and back, with the greatest impetuosity. The adjoining premises were the warehouses of Mr. Aldous, a pawnbroker, and for some time the greatest excitement prevailed amongst the inhabi tants lest the flames should extend to that buil. •. g and de stroy the pledges. The fire was extinguished by half-past nine o'clock. The damage done to the stock upon the pre mises must be considerable, for the flames passed completely round both floors. The same pr em i ses were d estroyed by a fire twelve or eighte en months since ; they were then used sts 4 cosch factory.

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 22, '1846. cash ; the Shares of the Bank of San Fernando at 385 ; and those of Isabel at 96. Wo have received the Paris papers of Friday and Saturday. In the Chamber of Peers, on Friday, the Prince DE LA MOSKOWA, the son of Marshal NEY, protested in the most indignant language against the too.celebrated allusion made by Duke PASQUIER to the circumstances attending the death of the " bravest of the brave." Duke PAscaliEft avoided discussion or explanation by raising a technical point of order, and thus the matter ended. The scene, which was most exciting, is thus graphically described by the National— " Th e son of the victim, unable to suppress his indigna tion, exclaimed, turning half-round towards the President, You have dared to talk of his degradation, Monsieur le Due I Ah, indeed, his enemies killed him, but they could never degrade him At this burst of the heart an ir resistible impulse produced powerful and almost unani mous cheers from the assembly responsive to the pene trating accents of the Prince. M. Pasquier, at first un shaken, at length dropped his head upon his desk, and, when he raised it, his eye was dimmed, his countenance pale and flaccid, and his attitude was that of a man listening to his sentence, the wrinkles of his face from time to time flushed with a sanguine hue. The torture he under went must have appeared to him very much lengthened, and the evident sympathy of the Chamber with the member who inflicted the chastisement must have ren dered it still more cruel. H owever, M. de Castel lane got up from his seat, and the Prince de la Moskowa, fixing his eyes upon him, said aloud, I hear some one demanding permission to speak. If there be any one in this Chamber who wishes to become an accomplice in an infamous judgment, let him rise, and I will give him credit for a singular mark of courage I' M. de Castellane then rose, and, having made one half turn, sat down again. The Prince continued his accusation of M. Pasquier with increasing force. He recalled all that passed in 1834, when Excelmans characterised the execution of Marshal Nev as a judicial murder. This lesson ought to have made the Presi dent reflect, but it seemed to have had no effect. M. de la Moskowa hopes at least that this protest will be the last. In answer to observations made by us, M. de la Moskowa ex plained why he remained silent at the moment when M. Pasquier adduced the degradation of his father as a prece dent for that of Lecomte. The words were so unexpected, that he was struck as by a thunderbolt, and deprived of all power of speech or thought. The affectionate atten tions of his colleagues, who pressed around him, were insufficient to restore to him his faculties of ex pressing himself. He was, in fact, crushed by this unex pected and odious provocation, which violated the most ordinary consideration for himself, and was not only a deadly outrage upon the heart of a son, but a no less insolent and violent offence against public opinion. Still M. de Castellane moved to the tribune ; but soon felt that all recollections had been revived by the speech of M. de la Moskowa. M. de Castellane had not ascended the steps of the tribune before there arose cries from all sides of the Chamber of No, no The order of the day V-- The President declared that M. de Castellane had received permission to speak, but numerous voices exclaimed, 'He shall not have it.' He, however, though pale, was intrepid enough to speak. The storm increased, and raged on every bench. He opened his mouth, but the tumult extinguished his words. He made gestures, showing that he was deter mined to maintain the responsibility he had assumed in bravado. He was seen, but not heard. Nothing could be distinguished but a confused noise, such as the reptuagenary vanits had never before given out. Amidst the rappings made with the paper knives upon the desks, the stampings of feet on the floor, and the vociferation of ' The order of the day,' three or four generals rose, and cried out in indignant terms, It is infamous.' One said, It is abominable Come down from the tribune !"Enough ! enough !" Too much !' General Roguet, who was below us, could not re sist his feelings; his eyes flamed as if he were in battle; his old blood was up, and his voice, as if in the midst of con flicting armies. We more than once thought he would rush forward as if mounting to the assault, and make a breach in the dress of his colleague. This extraordinary scene lasted more than ten minutes; all the dignity of the Chamber was lost. During this time M. Pasquier stood be hind M. de Castellane, now addressing himself to him, now appearing to be struck dumb by the tremendous explosion. He endeavoured to obtain silence, but all his authority was gone—the Chamber would not allow any one of its Members to exhibit the scandalous attempt to show an adhesion, how ever remote, to the infamous deed of which it had been re minded. When M. de Castellane came down from the tri bune there was silence for a moment, the Peers evidently wishing to afford its President an opportunity for giving an explanation. But what explanation could he give? What could he say for himself? M. Pasquier endeavoured to get out of his difficulty by making a pitiful tirade against the vio lation of secrecy! Let him ponder upon the lesson he has received; and if in doing so he recalls the course of his life, and the part he has taken in history, he, perhaps, w feel that the time is come for him to retire and seek in sol tude, or in the leisure of private life, reflection and repen ance." The Constitutionnel has a long article on this subject. Speaking of the scene presented by the Chamber during the attempt made by M. DE CASTELLANE to obtain a hearing, it says:—" This scene was not without its grandeur. It was a homage paid to the memory of Marshal NET j a revision of his sentence by acclama tion." The Ministerial Journal des Debats contents itself with the following observations:— " We shall merely mention that explanations took place yesterday, before the Chamber of Peers, between the Prince de la Moskowa and Chancellor Pasquier. They referred to an incident which, it is said, took place in the secret com mittee of the Court of Peers, after the condemnation of the regicide Lecomte. The Prince de la Moskowa, yielding to a sentiment, natural and honourable in its source, but perhaps exaggerated under the circumstances, protested in moderate and suitable terms, which the Chamber listened to with favour. On his side, Duke Pasquier used the incontestible right, which the regulations gave him, of refusing to enter on a discussion foreign to the order of the day and to the legis lative deliberations of the Chamber. The explanations of the President met with universal assent." The Courrier Francais has an article on the refusal of the Government to authorise the formation of a free ;rade league in Paris, in imitation of the one which has been formed in Bordeaux. The Courrier considers that the application for the authorisation ought not to have been made at all, inasmuch as al though the Ministry could not identify itself with the League by granting it authorisation, yet it the League had been once formed without authorisation, the Ministry would hardly have ventured on such a hazardous display of authority as an attempt to put it down by force. The proposition of M. DE ST. PRIEST, for the in. troduction of a uniform rate of postage of 20 centimes, was on Thursday rejected by the Chamber of Deputies. The Minister of Finance promised that next session he would re-introduce the Government Bill on this subject. Baron DE BARANTE has been ordered to repair to St. Petersburgh to resume his post of Ambassador from France, and M. BECKENDORFF will, it is said, arrive shortly in Paris in the quality of Russian Ambassador. According to La Patrie, the Chamber of Deputies will be dissolved on the 2d July, and on the 4th a royal ordonnauce will be published announcing the creation of a new batch of Peers.

The new Pope was born in 1792. SCHOLASTIC REFORM.—On Saturday, a preliminary , meeting of about forty sc h oo l masters was held at the Free masons Tavern, for the purp ose o f forming a So9ety, or College, to impose a test of qualification upon all individuals who should hereafter enter into the scholastic profession. There were present, Messrs. Turrell, Parker, Butler, and Lee, of Brighton ; Hall, of the King's -road ; and Stokes, of Ongar. Mr. Turrell, was called to the chair. After the first resolu tion was proposed and seconded, Mr. Harris, of Pimlico, in a strain of bitter sarcasm, exposed the fallacies of the argu ments of the preceding speakers, and condemned the scheme as being utterly impracticable. He then proposed an amend ment, to the effect, that any attempt of the kind would be a tax upon the intellect ua l endowments of any promising young man ; and to confirm the views he entertained, he read an extract from a letter which was published thirty years ago, and which was written by a distinguished linguist, who, after he bad a cqu i re d s even o r e i g h t languages, in. order to qualify himself for the office of schoolmaster, applied him self to the study of " Murray's Exercises," and improved thein arithmetic.we aknweakness of their The cause,pro promoters ters interrupted t he scheme the speaker per - he th eimi r v o si u ne g lgf hout his speech, and passed another resolution to the exclusion of the proposed amendment. Several gentlemen, however, claimed for Mr. Harris a fair and impartial hearing, but were at length so disgusted with the proceedings of the committee that they instantly left the room. The meeting then broke up somewhat abruptly, and altogether exhibited a wretched failure. A numerous private meeting of Protectionist Peers was held on Saturday afternoon, at the Earl of Eglintoun's apartments, at the Clarendon Hotel.

CITY, QUARIEI: TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were 2,500 bales. Prices were without alteration. Shares were dull. An intense degree of interest is shown in the City this morning to have the result of the division in the House of Commons this evening or to-morrow morning on the Irish Coercion Bill, as there appears to be some grounds for the presumption that the lengthened debate upon it will not longer be procrastinated, but if so, the factious opposition must daily be of less effect than at the present moment. The Corn Bill is held to be safe among merchants and capitalists, and the royal assent being given to those vital changes in the tariff, little is cared for amongst commercial men at the fate of the Coercion Bill, as the intention of Government in introducing it has already had almost the intended effect, by reducing the amount of crime in those districts where the most horrid scenes were witnessed of late. There are accounts from Ceylon this morning, but little of importance is conveyed in them. It is said upon autho rity, that were the protective duties removed, the best lands alone would yield a remunerative profit. This is the constant theme of the protectionists in this country, not a scintilla of allowance being made for improvements that must be made under a more liberal order of things. By the aid of scientific exertions, there is no doubt that lands at home, as well as in the colonies, will be brought into pro fitable cultivation, where now there may be a temporary loss. The grain markets are looking up, notwithstanding the prevalence of the most magnificent weather for maturing the crops. In the last week, the sales in the markets enu merated by Act of Parliament, the average prices paid in which regulate the duty on foreign corn released from bond, were, of wheat, 87,508 quarters ; of barley, 7,680 quarters; of oats, 23,231 quarters; and of beans, 5,851 quarters. Consols for the Account have been very steady this morn ing, at 95 1 / 8 ; and precisely the same values have ruled for the Three per Cent. Reduced Annuities. The New Three and -a-Quarter per Cents. have been heavy, at 96%. Ex chequer-bills have been sold at the very low premium of 55., both for the 1,0001. and the 500/. bills.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE -MONDAY. During last week the arrivals of English Wheat, Barley, Oats, Beans, Peas, and Flour were on a very limited scale, but those of Malt were moderate. From either Ireland or Scot land, very little Grain of any description came to hand, but from abroad, large supplies of Wheat, Oats, and Flour were received, and chiefly landed in bond. Fresh up, the re ceipts of Wheat of home produce were trifling, though of lull average quality. The attendance of buyers, most of whom were unusually bare of stock, being good, and the stands scantily filled with samples, the best qualities of Wheat of home produce commanded a steady sale, at an advance, in the quotations obtained on this day se'nnight, of Is per quarter, while the value of the mid dling and inferior kinds was well supported. At the close of busi ness a good clearance was effected. There was a good inquiry for Foreign Wheat under lock, for shipment to Belgium, at full curren cies. Fine qualities were in moderate request, and in some instances the turn dearer. Barley, the supply of which was small, moved off freely, and selected parcels were the turn dearer. Superfine White Malt moved off steadily, though the actual amount of business 'missing in it was not large. All other kinds were some what neglected. From all quarters very few Oats, if we except the foreign importations, have come to hand. That article was, therefore, in good request, at an improvement in value of from 6d to Is per quarter. For• Beans there was a firm demand, at a trifle more money. White Peas were selling at Is. per quarter more money, while the value of other kinds was well supported. There was rather more In quiry for Flour, but prices were not higher. The accounts from the provinces respecting the growing Wheats are very favourable, but Spring Corn stands much in need of moisture.

They were occupied for a considerable time with the clauses of the GLASGOW.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, GROUP XIV. This Committee met again this =ming in room No. 29 ; Mr. Protheroe in the chair. DEAL AND DOVER. It will be remembered that the landholders' opposition to this case had closed when the Committee adjourned at the middle of last week. The whole of this morning was occupied with Mr. Merre wether's reply to that opposition, which he contended ought not to prevail against a line of so much public importance as one running between Dover and Deal. The room was then cleared, and after a short consultation strangers were re-admitted, when The CUAISMAN stated.that the Committee had come to the deci sion that the preamble to this Bill was not proved. He accompanied this announcement with the remark that some of the Committee, indeed, he might say the whole of them, were satisfied as to the merits of this line, but that in the present state of the money market, and considering the number of these works Parliament had already sanctioned, they did not feel justified in passing thLs Bill. SOUTB.M.II.STERAT (GREEXCANTXCH TO 031,41.17Z1310:411). This Bill was then re-committed. It win be remembered that the Committee passed it at their former sitting, sanctioning a tunnel under Greenwich Park An objection was taken to this in the House, and the Bill was ordered to be The Committee now, pro forma, agreed to the Bill, striking out the clause sanctioning the tunnel, and inserting in its stead a clause enabling the company to adopt their alternative line round Blackheath. The cost of the line with this alteration was estimated at 800,0001. This closed the labour. of the Committee. GROUP XX. The Committee met to-day at eleven o'clock in Room :co. 31 (Grand Corridor). Present, Mr. Sotheron (chairman), Lord William Bentinek, Mr. Pigott, Mr. Toured, and Mr. Ross. They resumed the consideration of the SURREY IRON RAILWAY (DISSOLVING). Additional evidence was received in support of the petitions against the dissolution. The object of this evidence was chiefly to show the amount of injury which the petitioners would sustain by the abandonment of the line. The CHAIRMAN observed that it was needless to go into details of the amount of injury, as that would be a queLtion for the arbitrator, if the Lommittee should ultimately come to the opinion that the peti tioners were entitled to any compensation at all, The Committee on this GROUP XXXI ll. group met this day at twelve o'clock, in Room No. 24 (Grand Corridor). Present Sir Robert Ferguson (chair man), the Marquis of Worcester, Viscount Newry, Mr. Smollett, and Mr. Fellowes. They proceeded with the Warwickshire and London Railways (three branches). WORCESTER AND WEEDON, HAMPTON AND ASHCHURCH, HAMPTON AND 3 3.aNDUELY. Mr. WHATELEY, Q.C., for the opposing landowners, put in additional evidence against the Bill. Mr. Williams, brother-In-law, and land agent to Lord Willoughby do Broke, stated that the Hampton and Banbury line would pass through the Noble Lord's property, to which it would be absolutely destructive. The chief value of the property was in its ornamental character, which the proposed railway would altogether annihilate. Other valuable property, within the limits of the line, would be similarly damaged. Witness was secretary to the Warwickshire Hunt, and he knew that the sporting gentlemen of the county were greatly cpposed to the Hampton and Banbury line, and as much in favour of the Birmingham and Oxford. The general opinion waq, that the latter railway, by a short line from Fenny Compton to Warwick, would meet all the wants of the company, without inter fering injuriously with private property. THE ROYAL ACADEMY OF Musrc —The students of this institution gave their fourth concert on Saturday morning, in the Hanover-square Rooms, which were very fully attended. The scheme comprised a great variety of compositions from the works of the established masters, be sides three movements of a MS. symphony, by Mr. Henry Wylde, a member of the academy, and a young musician of considerable ability and promise. Of the movements per formed the andante was the most attractive; the subject in B flat recalled the slow movement of Beethoven's second symphony, but it was melodiously and cleverly treated. A duet of Beethoven's for piano and horn displayed much ca pability in the performers on each instrument, Mr. Baly and Mr. E. Harper, son of the well-known trumpet player. Mr. H. Hill, pupil of Mr. Sainton, conferred high credit both on his preceptor and himself by his excellent performance of an adagio and rondo of De Beriot. A number of vocal compo sitions, concerto and solo, were sustained by Misses Cheesman, Stewart, Bridle, D'Ernst, R ans f or d, A . R omer, Salmon, Solo mon, and Duval; Messrs. Herbert, Wetterbee, and Weeks, with great credit to the method of vocal instruction exhibited in the Academy. Mr. Lucas conducted the orchestra, which was less remarkable for numbers than efficiency. Mr. Sainton was at his post as principal violin, and Mr, Hill as principal tenor. SUICIDE OF MR. S. BUTLER.—OD Saturday evening an inquest was held at the Cathedral Hotel, St. Paul's churchyard, before Mr. William Payne, City coroner, on view of the body of Mr. Samuel Butler, aged twenty-three, the son of Mr. Butler, chemist, St. Paul's-churchyard, who poisoned himself with prussic acid. Mr. John Harding said that about eleven o'clock that morning he was informed that the deceased, who was in his room, had been called, and that no admission could be obtained. Witness went to the room, and while he was there his father came up. The door was forced open, upon which the deceased was found lying on his bed, with a phial grasped in his hand. Was not aware of anything that was likely to disturb his mind. Mr. Thomas Butler, deceased's father, said that his unfortunate son had formed a strong attachment to a young lady, to whom he had proposed that he should be married. Deceased came to witness, a few days ago, who was at Brighton, to get his consent, when he advised a delay for a short time. On Mon day last, he (deceased) saw the father of the young lady, and stated to him what had been his (witness's) propositions, to which the father of the young lady expressed himself agree able. He wrote to the young lady, wishing her to see him that evening. Deceased received her answer on Friday, but which has been torn into very minute parts. That letter contained no syllable of an unpleasant nature. Witness is of opinion that the thought of the delay may have produced a temporary excitement. Deceased was of a placid disposition. Witness thought he was rath er t oo young , an d t h e lady father much under his years.

Lord STANLEY, on Monday evening, while pre senting the " letting-I-dare-not-wait-upon-I -would " petition of certain of the merchants and bankers of the City of London on the subject of the corn-laws, dwelt with much complacency upon the fact, that amongst the names of firms attached to that petition was to be found that of BARING Brothers. As my Lord STANLEY seems inclined to hold up the firm of BARING Brothers as a high authority in political matters, it may perhaps be as well to consider the political professions of the several individual BARINGS who go to make up the aggregate of this great, trustworthy, and authoritative firm. The poli tical career of the individual BARING Brothers has been excellently planned for the advantage of the aggregate BARING Brothers. It has always so hap pened that of late years there has never been any great political party which could fairly aspire to office, or any section of what the French call possible Mi nisterial men, but that section or that party has numbered amongst its adherents a BARING. Prior to 1830, the posssible men were divided into Whigs and Tories, the latter being in office; we find Sir THOMAS BARING a Tery, and Mr. ALEXANDER BARING a Whig. Sir THOMAS BARINQ retires from Parliament, and his son Mr. FRA.ncis Tuomtnix.x. B&RINQ, enters public life as one of the Secretaries of the Treasury under the Whig Government. Mr. ALEXANDER, BARING, heretofore the Whig Member for Taunton becomes the Tory Member for Tregony, and opposes most energetically those measures which Mr. FRANCIS THORNHILL BARING as energetically supports. The Whigs are ejected in 1835, and although Mr. FRANCIS TiaoarmiLL BARING loses office, yet the firm of BAR ING Brothers has its consequence greatly increased, for the ex-Whig Commoner is transformed into the Tory Peer, and Mr. ALEXANDER BARING becomes Lord ASHBURTON. The Whigs are restored to office, and the firm of BARING Brothers is repre sented in the Ministry by Mr. FRANCIS THORNHILL BARING, now appointed Chancellor of the Exchequer. The firm, however, is not without its representative in the camp of the Conservative Opposition in the Commons, for whilst iMr. FRANCIS THORNHILL BARING, the Whig Member for Portsmouth, is a Cabinet Minister, Mr. HENRY BiNorram BARING the Tory Member for Marlborough, is an influential member of that great Conservative party which it was the boast of Sir ROBERT PEEL that he had built up, and accordingly when the great Con servative party ejected the Whigs from office, albeit Mr. FRANCIS THORNHILL BARING went out of office with his colleagues, still was the Treasury blessed with the presence of a BARING, and if the firm on the one hand lost a Chancellor of the Exchequer, in the person of Mr. F. T. BARING, it on the other gained a Lordship of the Treasury, in the person of Mr. HENRY BINGHAM' BARING, and a Foreign Embassy in that of Lord ASHBURTON. After the PEEL Ministry had been in office about two years it became evident that certain of the ultra-Tories had taken umbrage at the free trade tendencies of the Premier, and that a split among the Conservatives at no dis tant day was inevitable. A vacancy occurred in the representation of the City of London, and the candi date who came forward as the champion of the ultra- Tories and ultra-Protectionists was no other than Mr. THOMAS BARING, own brother to the free-trader Mr. FRANCIS THORNHILL BARING, heretofore Whig' Chancellor of the Exchequer. Defeated in London, he afterwards was elected for Huntingdon, and en tered Parliament just in time to secure for the firm of BARING Brothers a re• presentative in every political camp. Whatever party may be in power, the house of BARING Brothers will be sure of being connected with office. Should Sir R. PEEL continue Prime Minister, Mr. BINGHAM BARING continues in office also. Should Lord J. RUSSELL become Premier, Mr. F. T. BARING Will be his Chancellor of the Exchequer. Should a STANLEY and RICHMOND Ministry be formed, Lord ASHBURTON will be a member of the Cabinet, and Mr. T. BARING will have an Under Secretaryship at least. From their long connexion with America, " BARING Brothers " have imbibed a considerable portion of that " 'cuteness" which is the distinguishing characteristic of the Yankee; but, while we are wil- ling to accord to them the credit of being " tarnation smart chaps," we must be permitted altogether to deny that they are entitled to any respect as great political authorities.

They saw no utility "in crying Sessa," with CHRISTOPHER SLY, and beating their own shadows. They had ploughed, and sowe d, an d har rowed, and irrigated, and they repose with folded arms until the sunlight of legislative !wisdom shall have fructified their labours, have ripened their opinions into a law, and enabled them to reap an abundant and consolatory harvest. That, we take it, is the correct definition of this tranquillity, the solution of this so-called problem. It has sprung from joy, not sorrow ; exultation, not despondency; the intensest interest, not an inexcusable indifference. Such, at least, has been the actuating principle of the vast majority. Others have been impelled to this silent course, because of their uncertainty—the lull in the exchange of mer ' chandize extending to a lull amongst the mer chants. One branch of trade has delayed the importation of additional goods, under the uncertainty of an immediate reduction and ulte rior removal of the Customs' duties. One trade has infected another with this procrastination, and a stagnatory effect has been necessarily pro duced in a considerable bulk of the com munity. It becomes, therefore, clear, beyond all disproof, that the exceeding quietude which has pervaded society throughout these very remarkable discussions, has proceeded from a prevalent sense of satisfaction, mingled with a deep yearning for the achievement of freedom to commerce. To-morrow evening the Bill for the realisation of this object will arrive at its final stage, previous to that of obtaining the royal sanction; it has passed triumphantly and unmutilated through the first, second, and third reading, in the Commons; it has crossed the Beresina ofParlia ment—the Committee in both Houses ; it has pro ceeded, likewise, with similar success through the first and t econd reading in the Peers : to-morrow evening the " Corn Importation Bill" will be in troduced to the legislative aristocracy for its third and final reading, having passed which, the signature of our beloved and gracious SOVERION Will render free trade the presiding genius of British commerce. Then, but not until then, the popular silence will terminate—the voices of the people will resound throughout the land expressive of their exul tation at an achievement of such an inestimable importance, and the reverberation of those voices cannot fail, in time, to find an echo in the council chambers of the most remote among the civilised nations of the globe. Such assemblies as that of the Cuckfield farmers, on Friday evening, will still con BANKRUPTCY -7 fr:f!' (Before Mr. Commissioner Sal EPHERD.) IN RE HUMPHREY This bankrupt, wh o had carried on . business as an hotel keeper in the Haymarket, came up for his certificate. The bankrupt having been strongly opposed at his last examination, the Learned COMMISSIONER asked what the assignees intended to do on the present occasion? Mr. Lewis, the solicitor to the assignees, said that as his Honour had considered the bankrupt was entitled on the accounts furnished to pass his last examination, they did not think it right they should press the opposition further, but leave the case entirely in the hands of his Honour to deal with the whole case. The Learned Commas's:nil/it—Then I am to understand the assignees are satisfied. Lewis—They are quite satisfied the bankrupt has rendered all the assistance in his power to make up the ac counts, but they were not kept properly. The Learned COMMISSIONER said that there could be no doubt that the opposition was founded on good grounds, as regards the accounts, which were not at first satisfactory, nor properly kept ; yet, as the assignees themselves did not oppose, he did not think it was a case in which he ought to exercise his power to refuse the certificate. The bankrupt had answered, without reserve, all the questions put to him, and he had been very much illused by some of bis creditors, and under the several executions his property had been shamefully sold. He, therefore, considered the bankrupt ought to have his certificate, and he should grant it accordingly. IN RE J. AND C. HILL. INTEREST ON BOOR DEBTS.—To-day was arpointed for the choice of a ss i gnees o f these bankrupts, who had carried on business as grocers at Reading. The choice of assignees passed without opposition, but ill the course of the proofs a point of some importance arose, Messrs. Ridgway and Co., of King William -street, clatming for a large sum and interest on an over-due account. Mr. TURQUAND, the official assignee, could not allow the proof unless there was a special agreement. Mr. RIDGWAY said it was the custom of the trade. Mr. LEWIS, the solicitor to the fiat, said he must leave Mr. Ridgway to support his own case, as he, Mr. Lewis, merely prepared the proof. After a brief conversation, Mr. RIDGWAY said he would not press his claim for interest, and the proof was taken short the amount. "Liverpool, June, 1846. " Mr. Alderman Farebrother." The Recorder proceeded to say that the law regarded bigamy in its ordinary forms with a determination to deter heartless vagabonds from committing it; but this case of Miss Lovejoy stood out alone, for within a day of her mar riage all that she possessed in the world was taken from her, except the clothes in which she stood; she was even disallowed any thing to eat, and hardly had the prisoner got her body cast into the sea when he re turned to England, to repeat the cruelty on another. It had, moreover, been proved upon the trial that he had robbed his first wife of her property and deserted her ; his object, therefore, was evidently plunder, and that he pursued by means the most cruel and inhuman that ever had been Lused. He thought that this was the worst case that had been recorded in the Court in which they were; all the mischiefs which attended false marriages had been more strongly brought out in this in stance than in any case he had ever known. The death of his victim, if it was not absolutely caused by what had occurred, was, in the opinion of a respectable surgeon, cer tainly accelerated by the treatment she had received. The poor unhappy woman before she embarked from England expressed her strong conviction that she would never reach the shores of America alive, and this was her conviction after she bad been dispossessed of all that she had, and disallowed even the use of the necessaries of life. (The prisoner here interposed, and denied the truth of all that was vouched for by Mr. Cripps.) The RECORDER said th a t th e pr i soner would have the opportunity of an appeal, if he thought proper, to the Secretary of State ; as for himself, however, he would do his duty to the public and act in this matter up to the law —for nothing so heartless, nothing so cruel had ever reached his knowledge as that which the prisoner had perpetrated on his victims, to their perpetual degrada tion. (The prisoner here reiterated his charge that his victims were women cf bad character.) The Recorder continued to say that, in addition to robbing them of their last shilling, and wronging them by false pretences of mar riage, he now spared not their character, but despoiled them even of that. But were it true as he had said, and if he had picked them off the street, yet even such must and would be protected by the law. The Count then sentenced him to transportation for seven years on each of the two indictments, the one period to com mence at the expiration of the other. He was sentenced to seven years' transportation on Friday, on the charge of larceny; but this sentence will commence and expire with the first of the two sentences pronounced to-day, making 14 all only fourteen years' transportation.

CRUEL ROBBERY BY A YOUTH.-At the Ilford Petty Sessions on Saturday, James Hatfield, the son of a e.irover, re siding in Whitechapel, was placed at the bar cLarged with obtaining a sum of money from a poor woms.n residing at Stratford, uttder false pretences. Elizabeth Purkess, the wife of a Smithfield drover, residing in Beyce-yard, Stratford, said, that on the previous Monday the accused called upon her, and making a very sorrowful face, said, " Oh, Mrs. Pur kess, I have bad news to tell you, your husband has been striking a man, and is locked up in Giltspur_street Compter, and he has sent me for what money you have in the house." She had only 10s., which she gave him, and he went away, telling her, however, to come up to London as soon as possi ble, as her husband wished to see her. She did as he re quested her, and, on going to the Compter, found his story to be false from beginning to end. The prisoner was committed to the Central Criminal Court for trial. THE SHRIEVALTY.—W e understand that a requisi tion, signed by upwards of 500 of the most respectable mem beis of the Livery, *has been presented to Robert Kennard, Esq., of Upper Thames -street, the wealthy it on merchant, requesting him to allow himself to be plan e d in nomination for the office of Sheriff for the ezming yes, and that Mr. Kennard has signified his mac& CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT : (Before the BEcoanEa and Alderman GIBES.) Application was made on Saturday to the Court, by Mr. • Ballantyne, on the part of Falkland and Fabian, at present in custody for the forgery of railway scrip, to have the case postponed till next session. As the bill had been found before the grand jury only so late as Friday night, the appli cation appeared to the Court to be reasonable ; but, in the absence of the prosecutors, the Court wished it to be mentioned again. Mr. Bodkin, who, with Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Huddle stone, are retained for the prosecution, appeared this morning to consent to the application for postponement. The RECORDER, after considerable hesitation, ordered it to be placed first on the judge's list for next session. Joseph Mortimer, whose atrocious case tame on before the Recorder on Friday, when he was found guilty on two charges of bigamy and ore of larceny, and when he wa s sentenced by the Court on the charge of larceny to seven years' transportation, sentence on the other indictments being reserved, was this morning placed at the bar to receive sentence on the charges of bigamy. The RECORDER said, he thought it right to inform the, prisoner, before prono unc i ng sentence on the two cases of bigamy on which he had been convicted, and to give him clearly to understand that in qu i ry h a d been made by the Court , and information had b een rece i ved from most respectab l e sources, and that acco r di ng to that his case bore the worst possible aspect which any case could bear, and that it was clearly aggravated by his cruel and disgraceful conduct. The Recorder held in his hand a letter from Mr. George O'Malley Irwin, a gentleman of the Irish bar, who wished to have the prisoner transferred to Ireland to take his trial there if the charges should have failed here, on a f urther charge of bigamy, in the case of Miss Baker, the daughter of Andrew Baker, of Red fill, near Boyle, in the county of Roscommon. With regard to his marriage, the Recorder thought it right to inform the prisoner that a respectable surgeon in Liverpool had drawn the attention of the committing magistrate to the case o f - Miss Lovejoy by the following letter : "Liverpool, 111, Dale-street, June, 1846. "Sir,—From the newspaper reports. I perceive that a rose, or rather a monster in human form, of the name of A. Mort"; mer, has been brou g ht before you, charged with bigamy , and I am happy to fi n d that he is committed for trial, where I trust his heartless villany will meet its deserts. "One of his unf ortunate victims, Miss Lovejoy, was for several years a pati ent o f mine, and a more confiding, kind, or amiable creat ure never existed.

I once more saw her, viz., on the day before they left England ; she called on me, she said, for the purpose of bidding me good-bye for ever.' She again mentioned to me his brutal treatment, the details of which were so atrociously revolting that I almost recoil when I think of them. I wished her, even at the !eleventh • hour, to reconsider her determination of accompany ing him, but she said, that although she believed she should never cross the Atlantic alive, yet that she had cast her lot with his, and it was her duty to submit.' I do solemnly declare that I could most conscien tiously have accepted her expressions of the conviction that she could not recover as her dying declaration ;' those con victions were realised, and her husband's object effected.
