The speech of M. THIERS, on Wednesday. in the French Chamber of Deputies, his visit to this country last autumn, and the complimentary return made by Lord PALMERST9N, are all favourable symptoms that the phrase entente cordiale is something more than mere w0r.13. The condonation, too, has come from the right quart, r—from the angry party that, till very lately, mired no opportunity of declaiming against the selfish dispositiAn of England, and of her wish to overreach France, and interpret the words of the French KING 3nly to her own advantage. The speech to which we refer, and which was not finished . ; at the hour of post on Wednesday, related to the strength of the French navy, and the comparative power of England and France at sea. Judging from M. TLuEfts' work on the " Con sulate and the 1311npir , -," we are led to believe that he considered France quite an equal match for this country, both as regarded the skill of her naval officers, and the oravery of her sailors. He never relates an encounter U sea, in which France had not the superiority, or was ''.lhdt;iellibtilM4he victwry by some accident, or some rpreirett,c — Kexpected, and unwarrantable trick on ---- ':: , -- 1 riii - rt: \ 4 o;ate islanders.

". we"' ... _ , IN I.: t:.:: • THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EWENING, APRIL_ 17, 1846. according to the French historian, no victories at all; they were all mere delusions ; the French, it is true, had suf fered in some instances, but, as VOLTAIRE says of the British troops at the battle of Fontenoy, their defeat was as glorious as a victory. In every instance that oc curs to us, M. Tnrans gives the preference to his coun trymen for naval tactics, hard fighting, and daring enter prise, and is only a little puzzled in winding up his tale to account for the result. From these facts, we are justified in inferring that, in his reveries about the vic tories which, under the ORLEANS dynasty, should equal those of the empire, he dreamed of the dominion of the sea as well as the boundary of the Rhine. All these visions, however, have vanished, for in the speech to which we allude, he fully admits that France cannot compete with England at sea. For forty ships of the line which France can build and maintain, he said Eng land could raise one hundred, and the vast difference be tween the respective forces, therefore, could leave no room 'or doubt as to which would ultimately prevail. This is an important admission from one hitherto so vain glorious, and who may in a few years be again Prime Minister of France. But this apparent change of opinion is accompanied by other circumstances of far more *eight. Latterly the tone of the Paris journals has exhibited a great diminution of asperity in reference to the policy and power of England. They reason calmly on her victories in India—even praise the moderation of the Governor-General ; and one of them, usually most hostile to England, admits that " no nation more extensively fulfils its providential mission." The op position in the Chamber has undergone the same re generation—even M. BILLAULT can speak of England with decent composure; and all these violent and un becoming displays which some years since made the events at Otaheite, and especially the PRITCHARD affair, absolutely ridiculous, are never by any chance re peated. At one time it was understood that the ex-Minister was paying his court to the Duke DE NEMOURS and his brother JOIN VILLE, in the hope Jiat they disapproved of the peaceful policy which has so honourably distinguished the reign of their father, and that they might join with him in reviving the glory of the French army, and defeating England in her own territory by means of steam-boats. But he evidently has met with no favourable reception from that quarter, and is obliged to fall back upon the only chance of recovering power left to liim,'and *owe a warm advocate of peace with Englahti. Lord PAL MERSTON is in somewhat a simile; iositienA - Earl GREY oad pronounced a ban upon him, , iihireh went forth to the whole of Europe and met with warm approbation from Lhe friends of peace, as well as from all those Powell ..vho reprobated the Syrian expedition. The Fiiiiab Opposition were in ecstacies to find their most eltusgeroes opponent blackballed by his own colleague, arid the war 'ilte spirit of Lord PALMERSTON made the real ground ;,e demolishing the RUSSELL Cabinet. A brand was hus fixed upon the ex-Foreign Minister, which no ex o!anations, no professions of a sincere desire for peace, no expressed determination to maintain to its full extent the entente cordiale, could efface, and the appointment of Lord PALMERSTON to his former office, in case of a change of administration, would have been regarded by the French Chamber as a declaration of war ; for they might well say—" This is not our opinion only, you yourselves admit the fact; you wish to live at peace, but it the same time, men who know your Cabinet secret: better than we do, tell us plainly there can be no secu ity for peace while PALMERSTON is at the Foreign ,tfice." The impossibility of giving a satisfactory recly ,o such an argument has not been without effect, and , robably has mainly contributed to the friendly inter :ourse of civilities which are now going on Paris Whatever may be the real cause, however, the friends of ieace will rejoice in the result. -By personal communi sations, by witnessing improvements as observable in France as in England, by experiencing the hospitality and the warm congratulations of Frenchmen of all par les, and also by judging more intimately of the real cha ecter of the people, Lord PALMERSTON may learn an iseful lesson, and he and M. THIERS may the more rea lily admit the folly, as well as the wickedness, of bring ng into collision, from personal pique or some cause qually undignified, two nations whose friendly co operation is absolutely necessary for promoting the wel fare of both, and securing the peace of the world. Another glance at the devastations which still pro •eed in our beautiful, but doomed Ireland, is almost re luisite, from the terrible character of the most recent otelligence from that quarter s nor can it but be inte resting at the present juncture. To-night Parliament . Kill resume its sittings by taking under immediate con ,ideration the kind of legislation which should be adopted towards the Irish multitude, and hence it be comes absolutely necessary to weigh every indi cation of mal- government by which the species of correctives to be employed become more recog nisable, During some months it has been our un- fortunate duty to comment upon the exigencies of that wretched population, and to insist earnestly and laces sandy upon the certainty there was of such ulterior woes es would baffle the interposition and hamper the movements of the Legislature. Again and again our voice has been raised in supplication for the destitute millions of Irish, and in warning against that accumulation of ills by which the efficacy of any Government intervention would then become null and powerless. Unless a more rapid policy be adopted by Parliament in dealing with the wants of Ireland—unless effurts of a more sponta neous nature be made in behalf of the famine-stricken millions, the " Great Ministerial Difficulty" will defy the ingenuty of the mass of remedy- mongers. Circumspection is, urhubtedly, a wholesome adjunct in legislation, but There are circumstances in which an over-scrupulousness would be criminal in the rulers of a great empire. When thousands are pinched with the fiercest pangs of hunger ; when tumultuary crowds defy the arm of the law by their insubordination ; when whole parishes are abandoned to disease and death, with nothing but poiso,ous food, it is as suredly not the moment to cavil over the propriety of this detail or of that formality. An awful example of this d contr.versy has been given us by our illustrious and ii,comparabl.. iloometu : every one will remember the picture in which he delineares the heroine of Marriage a la ,l/ode expiring in acute torments, while the rival physician are wrangling over their panaceas. Here is the potion. —here is the inestimable pill; both are paraded as cer tain to prove remedial; but in the midst of the argu ments the pati , nt attains the climax of the disorder, and renders recovery through human power all Lut impossible. There is a resemblance in the comparison closer than the superficial might at first conjecture. WILLIAM lIOGARTH, in that production, advanced a gnat moral truth of universal application ; what hob's good in this r spect individually, holds good also in the multitude ; what is appropriate in this particular to the ph} sician, is appropriate likewise to the legislator. Unless, therefore, some speedier means be applied for the reclamation of Ireland, the evils of famine, of contagion, of insubor dination, will exceed all ordinary bounds of s uppression. The great under-current is in motion; an effective: effort must be made at once, or the consequences must prove dire beyond calculation. We do not aspire to the post of those who would needlessly gene rate a panic; we abhor conduct of such wilful atrocity; but when we behold so many thousands of our dreadful concomitants, fellow-countrymen thoughgoade we on wouldby starvation still de depre cate s. , v we ou w r ou a l u d a have the legis lative remedy cate any undne ad p v r a ec nc i e p a itatin rigour with o with out any petty attention to the minutiae of separat y ec ; lau: We cannot but hope that the Members of th e LoW e e ti. r House will perceive the real urgency of the case, and spurn from their counsel anything like captious opposition. We earnestly trust that, with the various indications of the present mal-administration of affairs in Ireland—the incesmant and wholesale evictions—the indifference to the effusion of blood—the riots around the flour-dray at Tipperary, and the ferocious assault upon the mills, at Clonmel—we earnestly trust, that with these sig nificant facts before thorn, a conscientious sense ~f the responsibility which devolves upon them will impel them to some conclusion forthwith. Accord ing to Freeman's Journal, the wretched beings who mingled in the last•mentioned outbreak were " reduced to the utmost extremity of distress; their bones protruding through the skin which covered them." These are the people for whose redemption from the jaws of death, and for whose preservation from anarchy, Government has to legislate. They are not therefore a meta admitting of a tardy or elaborated po lic y . What good has to be done in their retard, must be done at once. Delay is ruin. _ - The following letter from Cracow, dated April 5, is pub lished in the Uniursal Gennetn Gazette of the 12th : " The officer of the militia, M. Ducillowicz, who betrayed the conspirators to the authorities, and apprised them of the hour fixed for the explosion of the insurrection, has been struck with apoplexy, and is at present in the hospital. A nervous fever prevails amongst the Austrian corps of occu pation in this city. Letters from Warsaw state that the G - vernor of that city has adopted strong measures to preserve order. The troops sleep in the streets, and at 3 o'clock the houses are closed. We are ignorant of the states& Galicia, as all communication has been interrupted. We merely know that the peasants had not yet ! returned to their.duty. The Austrian army had suffered some loss in the forest of Niepolomidec. The insurgents dug pits, which they covered vith loose earth, and when the cavalry charged, several were dismounted, and put to death without mercy. When' in want of provisions, the peasants _advance to boa:cilia; abd even to Wretitzka."

The sales of Cotton at LiVerpool yesterday were again large—about 700 bags—Of which 1,000 were taken on specu lation. Pfices were firmly supported. There are no arrivals in the City to-day, and the state of matters generally is very quiet. The Funds have not rallied from yesterday's quotations, and except in the Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., which hare been marked 96% %, there has not been much doing. Consols are 95% 3 / 4 for present transfer, and 96 for time, though alrnoq, nominal. Bank Stock has been firm at 205 to 206. Exchequer-bills have been marked 19s. to 235. prem. The Foreign Stocks have been for the most part a shade lower than yesterday, but we can quote no decided alteration. Spanish Five per Cents. realise 25, and the Three per Cents. about 36% %. Mexican are flat at 31 1 4, and Brazilian at 81% to 82. French Five per Cents. are 119 25, with the exchange at 25 80. Russian Bonds are 111. The Share Market has been dull, and the chief business out of doors has been in buying up scrip where there is a chance of receiving back more of the deposit than will cover the amount laid out in the purchase.

CORN-EXCHANGE-FRIDAY. The arrivals of English Wheat in the port of London, during the present week, have been considerably on the increase ; yet, as nearly the whole of the parcels from Lincolnshire have gone direct to the millers, the show of samples of that article hers to-day, was small ; still, however, the demand was in a sluggish state, at barely 3londay , s p r i ce s. Upwards of 20,000 quarters of Foreign Wheat have come to hand, and been landed in bond. So little was doing in it, tree as well as under I,ck, that the quotations were Almost no minal. Barley and Malt, though iu short supply, were excessively dull, and prkes•had a downward tendency. From all parts, the re ceipts of Oats were very small, owing to which, the Oat trade was firm, at an advance in the quotations, of quite Od per quarter. Beans were a dull sale ; but Peas were quite as dear. In Flour next ti no thing was doing. ARRIVALS. Barley. Oats Flour. 3,020 qrs. 4.060 qrs. 1,840 Wu 1.480 - 2,930 ---.

FG A SA, the favourite of Queen CHRISTINA, has been foie d tc, retire, so that either Cnfustota's influence is failing or she is geftint. alarmed. General .SANZ, Captain-General of Grenada, had joined the Cabinet as Minister of the War Department. The ceremonies of the Holy Week commenced on the 9th. The Quizxx, accompanied by MARIE CHRISTINA, the In fanta LUISA FERNANDA, the Infant Doti FRANCISCO DE PAULO, and a numerous and brilliant suite, went on foot to seven churches, to fulfil the seven stations appointed by the Church. Her MAJESTY washed the feet of twelve poor per sons of both sexes. The QUEEN and her mother walked between two rows of pikemen, attired in the new uniform, which is copied from the soldiers of the Prussian army. The whole procession was witnessed by multitudes of people, who were very orderly. ISTURITZ, as President of the Council, walked on the QUEEN'S right hand. General NORZAGARAY had left for Estramadura, where he was to replace in command of that province General AMOR, wl•e is recalled. The announcement made in the Paris papers of the arrival of NARVAEZ in that city on the 15th is incorrect (indeed, it is contradicted in the Paris papers received this morning). On that day he was still at Bayonne. The Madrid papers of the 9th state that the insurrection is Galicia had been completely repressed. It is stated, that in consequence of attempts having been made to seduce the troops in Catalonia frem their allegiance, the Captain-Gene ral of the province had issued a proclamation offering their discharge from the service and three ounces of gold to the soldiers who should denounce the persons engaged in these attempts. Don Hs MY is still at Bayonne, but not under surveillance. " There is passing," says the Courier Franfais,"at present at Bayonne a veritable comedy, On Monday the telegraph transmitted to the authorities of that city orders to cease all surveillance over the Infante Don Henry, to pay him all the honours due to his rank, and in his place to watch General Narvaez, whose intrigues the Spanish Government, it appears, is apprehensive of. What renders this change the more amusing is that the police of France were set on the traces of Don Henry at the formal demand of Narvaea." The Madrid Bolsa was closed on the 9th. We have received the Paris papers of Wednesday. They are almost exclusively filled with the report of the debate in the Chamber of Deputies on the Naval Budget on the day preceding, and with comments on the speeches delivered on that occasion. M. BILLAULT, during the discussion, made a furious attack on the Government, and was replied to by Baron DE MACKAU, the Minister of Marine, in a speech of wiiich the Presse says— a Admiral de Mackau ha:, not often obtained the appro.. bation of this journal. Our friends have even some - times accused us of a spirit of hostility with respect to him. We shall to-day prove that we have never offered a systematic opposition to any one. We, therefore, declare that the honour of yesterday's sitting must be awarded to the Hon. Minister. Taken unawares, by a most aggressive speech of M. Billault, Admiral de Mackau, whom we have again found such as he was when he first spoke in Parliament, met the attack with a firmness and precision, which not withstanding some appearance of fatigue towards the close of his speech, constantly captivated the attention of the Chamber. ' In the course of his speech, the Minister, speaking of the increase in the steam navy, said :—" We have augmented the number of those vessels; we now possess 5 of from 450 to 540 horse-power, 1 of 320, 9 of 220, 22 of 160, 1 of 150, 17 of 120 and under, and, finally, 17 trans-Atla.etic steamers; so that, if the Chambers decide that the latter shall belong to the royal navy, we have now at our disposal 72 steam-vessels." He concluded by announcing his determination to maintain the number of ships of the line at forty, and of frigates at sixty. The discussion was resumed on Wednesday by Admiral DE HELE, who was followed by M. THEIRS, who condemned the Ad- ministration because it had not repaired the faults of its predecessors. As France was a commercial nation, it was necessary that she should have a navy, but it ,hould be remembered that France was essentially a con tinental power. He then compared the relative forces of the French and English navies, and expressed it as his opinion, ' that at sea France was in no condition to compzte with England. It was reported in the Chamber that the Deputies would have finished their labours by the 31st of May, that the Peers would rise between the 15th and 20th of June, and that a dissolution would immediately follow, so as to have the elections in July. King Louis PHILIPPE went, on Wednesday, to Fontaine bleau, to inspect the preparations ordered by him for the re ception of Queen Vicrortia. The Austrian, Prussian, and Turkish Ambassadors, Lord aid Lady COWLEY, and several English noblemen and ladies of distinction, were present on Tuesday at a grand dinner given by M. GuizoT to Lord and Lady PAIIERSTON. The strike among the colliers at St. Etienne is said to be subsiding, and there were hopes that they will return to Work in a few days. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE is in Paris. He has taken up his abode at the Hotel Meant ice. The Moniteur, of the 15th, contains a royal ordonnance appointing members of the Council of Health attached to the Ministry of Manufactures and Commerce —M. FouLmoy, Inspector-General of the Naval Service. of Health; M. Mott _t, Member of the Council of Health of the Army ; and M. Pinox, one of the Administration of the Post-office. In expectation of the arrival of IBRAHIM PACHA at Bor deaux on the 18th, General FOUVIELLE had addressed the following appeal to the National Guards of that city:— "A Prince, an ally of France, whose military qualities have been appreciated by our soldiers,—lbrahim Pacha, is to enter our walls on Saturday. His Highness +All review the regiments of the garrison of Bordeaux and Likurne on Sunday, the 19th. To impart more solemnity to that mili tary exhibition, the Lieutenant-General commanding the 11th division is anxicus that the National Guard should figure at it.

Mr. Fairs, who has acquired so much of deserved celebrity in the art of decorating houses, is removing from Hanover-street, where his indisputable taste was rendered so manifestly superior to all his compeers and by its splendid front, sad which it is universally acknowledged has nothing to compete with it throughout London. Its chaste and classical composition is of the early Italian school of archi tecture; and within, the magazine and show-rooms are worthy of its classic front. The residence, No. 2, is also de serving the same compliment; it is doomed to change hands next Tuesday. thr..ugh the instrumentality of Mr. George Robins's hammer. All the fashionable world are flocking daily to see this beautiful specimen of Mr. Fairs' handiwork. SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO THE JUPITER :STEAMER. ,tchaetttrisptioglsr:avneTi mer chandise, On Wednesday night, about ten o'clock, as the Jupiter il lTors u e p s steam-packet, which is placed on the Bristol and Cork sta tion by the General Steam Navigation Company, in place o Cork,the Sab withina a , refitting, valuable NeaVai:lgcoOomf the night being very dark, she ran aground at a little below Round Point, a projection in the river about one mile from Bristol, and, the tide being on the ebb, as the water left her she heeled over on her side, and a scene of in describable contusion instantly ensued. The horses, being frightened, broke loose from the horse-boxes, and seven va• luable bunters, belonging to the stud of Mr. Mason, a gentle man resident in Oxfordshire, who has been hunting in Ire land this season, with seven or eight head of horned cattle, and, as it is believed, upwards of 200 pigs, were drowned; the vessel was also seriously injured, and the general cargo much damaged. The scene at this moment, it is said, was almost an in d escr ibable one; the utmost confusion prev a il e d, horses and cattle were floating up and down the river, and this morning the shore was literally strewn with carcases. The vessel was got off this morning, and is now lying at the entrance of the Cumberland basin ; it is found that she makes water, and is otherwise injured, but the extentof the damage is not vet known. The Jupiter is a fine vessel, a n d of upwards of 200 horse-power. ROYAL FAVOURS. Lord Ell--'s campaigns an earldom get. Sir lbw Smitiffrra baronet 11.01,1 S' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) Lord Langdale sat to-day at ten o'clock. RAVEN V. TAYLOR. The cross-petition in this case, which was part heard, was resumed to-day. Messrs. Turner and Harding replied on the part of the petitioners. Lord LANGDALE said this case had occupied a consider able portion of time at various periods, and yet he could not make any adjudication on the case. He could only say. what should be done with reference to the costs. He did not know whether any suit would be instituted in this cause, and he was extremely de sirous of not expressing any opinion on the cause, which might become the subject of litigation. He certainly had expressed his dissent from some of the arguments which bad been used. That opinion, however, would not be of any im portance in future proceedings. The case appeared to be. simply this :—There was a creditor, who administered to an estate, which it was considered desirable to sell, and a portion of the money to be given to Mr. and Mrs. Ashwell for their lives, and the residue for their children's use. A petition had been brought forward in the cause, which, however, did not comprise all that was ne cessary, and another petition was presented by Mr. Ashwell, complaining of gross misconduct with respect to the trustees. It did, - however, appear, from allj the circumstances set forth, that Mr. Ashwell had cause to complain. Having re gard to the cross-petition, he could not give that relief which was sought. Under all the circumstances, he could not do , better than order that there should be no costs on either side. VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Vice-Chancellor WIGRAM.) THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL 7f. TIIE CORPORATION OF CONGLETON. The arguments on a motion for injunction in this case were concluded to-day. Details were gone into only so far as they affected the motion immediately before the Court, but the power of appointing a master to the Free Grammar School of Congleton, which has been exercised for' at least the last 400 years, seems to be brought into dispute at present by the religious differences of the day. It appeared in evidence that the master of the school has hitherto been a member of the Church of England, and in several instances in priest's orders, discharging the duties of the sacred office at a small iapel close by the school, for which the corporation acted as trustees. Tlie books of the corporation show that their have been in the custom of paying the master of the school 161. yearly since the year 1390. It was contended, therefore, on the part of the Attorney. General, that the corporation were mere trustees, and as such had no power to interfere with the school, or with the character of the education hitherto given. When Mr. ROMILLY had replied, Mr. ANGLETON proposed, on behalf of the mayor and the corporation of Congleton, that litigation should be stayed by a decree, made by consent of both parties, declaring that the liability of the corporation to pay 16/. annually to the master, and their power of appointment to the vacancy, should both cease and determine henceforth. The case was postponed for consideration. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY. (Sittings in Banco, at Westminster Hitll.) WOOD V. LORD PORTARLINGTON. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said he applied tor a rule to show cause why an order should not be made to strike the name of Mr. Macy off the roll of attorneys. It appeared that the charge against Mr. Macy was that he had been guilty of subornation of perjury. Mr. Macy had been an attorney for the last fifteen years, practising in this Court, during which time not the slightest imputation or suspicion had been cast upon his character. This charge was a most serious one, and was to the effect that Mr. Macy had induc .d another party to swear to certain matter, of the truth of which he was not aware. This charge had been distinctly denied by Mr. Macy, upon his solemn oath ; and he (the Solicitor-General) trusted he would be able to show the Court that the charge was unfounded, and had been made to extort money from Mr. Macy. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL, on the other side, said that as the result of the application would be to send the case before the Master, he would suggest, for the convenience of the Court, that that course should be now adopted. The SOLICITOR GENERAL said he had no objection; and that course was agreed to. WOOI.3IAIC V. TOBY. Mr. Sergeant KINGLAKE :applied fur a rule to show cause why the verdict in this case should not be set aside, and a new trial had. The grounds of the application were upon the facts of the case as they appeared on the trial, which have already been published in The Sun at length. The facts were shortly these:—The defendant applied to the Direct Exeter, Plymouth, and Devonport Railway directors for forty shares, for which he was to pay within a reason able time; but defendant found that in. the meantime the names of the provisional committee and directors had been altered, and other names substituted; he also alleged that there was an abandonment of the scheme at the time of the allotment; that the application for the payment of the de posit was not, made within a reasonable time; and that there were variances in the mode of setting out the number of shares ; and that the Company were bound to go before Parliament. There was also a series of resolutions to the effect that the Company should be dissolved, and the scheme abandoned, on the 30th of December.—Rule granted. FOSTER V. BANK OF ENGLAND. Mr. Sergeant SHEE applied for a rule to show cause why the verdict in this case should not be set aside. This case was tried at Guildhall in the last term. The facts of the case were these :—lt appeared that a person named William Oxley, who had been 37 years a clerk in the Bank of Eng land, had been intimate with the husband of the plaintiff, who was an illiterate old woman, and whose affairs he undertook to manage after her husband's death. That the plaintiff had given Oxley about 4001. to lodge in the Bank, which had been entered to her credit, but had been converted into stock. and sold out by him without her authority. Oxley at the trial contended that he had the plaintiff's authority for the transfer, but admitted that he took the money, and did not pay it to her; he alleged that she had given him the authority to transfer, upon his having repre , ented that he could procure her a larger amount of in terest than what she was paid by the Bank of England. After the Learned Sergeant had argued the case at great length, Lord DENMAN said it appeared to him that the transfer had been a valid transfer. The other Learned Judges were of the same opinon. Rule refused. BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.) Mr. Thomas Campbell Foster, the " Times Commis sioner," took the oaths on being called to the bar. HARRIS V. KIMBERLEY. Mr. Sergeant ALLAN moved for a rule to set aside a non-suit obtained by default, the plaintiff having been absent when the cause was called on. This was a cause which was put down for trial by a special jury at the last Gloucester Assizes, and there be ing 13 or 14 common jury trials to come on on the Tues day, the special causes were ordered for hearing on the succeeding morning at nine o'clock. The Lord Chief Baron, however, without notifying his intention of doing so, sat at eight o'clock, and thus when the plaintiff and his witnesses arrived in Court, they found that a nonsuit had been entered in their absence. His LORDSHIP granted a rule to show cause, reserving the question of who should bear the expenses till a future period. EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prius before Mr. Baron ALDERSON and Common Juries.) His Lordship disposed of several undefended cases. THOMSON v. GREGORY AND WIFE. This was an action to recover two sums, one of 241. 19s. 5►4d., and the other 111. 19s. 3d. In respect of the second claim the defendant paid the sum of 121. into court, and pleaded "not indebted" as to the first. Mr. Chambers and Mr. Lush were for the plaintiff ; Mr. Jervis and Mr. Peacock for the defendant. The plaintiff in this action is a grocer, carrying on busi ness at Hampstead, and the defendant is * Mr. Barnard Gregory, the comedian. There was a lengthened examina tion of witnesses into the circumstances under which the alleged debt took place, but the case possesses no public interest to warrant a more detailed report.—Verdict for the plaintiff. The next case was one equally destitute of interest, and occupied the attention of • the Court for nearly the remainder of the day. It was an action to recover damages for a col lision that had taken place down the river between two barges. COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) PIGOT V. THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY. Mr. Sergeant SIIEA moved for a rule to show cause why a new trial should not be granted in this case, which was tried at the last Chelmsford Assizes, before Mr. Baron Alderson. The application was made on the ground of the improper admission of evidence by the Learned Judge. The action was brought by the plaintiff for damage done by Ore on his premises, contiguous to the Eastern Counties Railway, occa sioned by a spark or sparks from one oithe engines of the Company. A verdict was given for the plaintiff, and the amount of damages was settled out of Court. There Was no dispute set up by the defendants that the fire was not occasioned by a spark from the engine, as it appeared the fire, which originated in the plaintiff's cart shed, was occasioned in the way alleged ; but the objection taken by the defendants was to the plaintiff's declaration, which alleged that the damage arose from negli gence and unskilfulness on the part of the Company, in not using a fire-screen or " bonnet,' such as is used on other rail ways, for the prevention of sparks flying off; and also in the use of engines inadequate in power to the work. Two scientific witnesses were called in support of this declaration, and several other witnesses were examined, who stated they continually saw sparks emitted, some as large as an oran ge , and that they saw several flying into the premises of the plaintiff. Evidence of this kind was admitted to an unli mited extent, to the admission of which the defendants ob jected, on the ground that the declarations severally attri buted negligence and unskilfulness in the management of the railway, whereas he submitted the declarations should have been confined to the particular case at issue, and to the pre cise facts of negligence in relation to it.—Rule to show cause granted. The Ceurt shortly afterwards rose. SECONDARIES.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary Parma.) CLARIGE V. ALSTON. This was an action on a bill of exchange for 151. 16s. 6d., of which the defendant was alleged to be the acceptor. The defendant pleaded that it was not his acceptance. Mr. PEARSON appeare d as counsel for the plaintiff, um he said is an o ilman in Fore-street, City, and the defendant is a beer-shop keeper in the vicinity. He would call two witnesses to prove that the defendant had admitted to them that he had accepted a bill for 151. 16r., drawn by a Mr. Hude and indorsed to Mr. Hamond, who had paid it away to the plaintiff. What evidence could be called to rebut this he was at a loss to conjecture. The first witness called was a clerk to Mr. Hammond, who proved that the defendant called on him, and said his name was Alston, and he had called about a bill drawn by Hude, which he was told was in Mr Hamond's hands, and he wished for a little time. The bill had however been paid to the plaintiff. The clerk to the plaintiff's attorney, proved that when he served the writ, the defendant said that he had accented a bill for the accommodation of Hude, who was to have assisted him in taking it up, but he (defendant) would pay it in a short time. Mr. IluGires, for the defendant, elicited that the witness did not know the handwriting, nor was the bill in question produced to him. The Learned Counsel then addressed the jury, and submitted that they were bound to go by the evi dence, and there had not been any given as to the hand writing. That there had been bill traksactions with Hude there could be no doubt, but there might have been many other bills to the same amounts. Hude ought to have been called to have shown the bill was the one the defendant had signed. t ale Jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff'. Wheat. 6,610 qrs. Malt, 4,290 qrs. SMI TurxELD. Notwithstanding the supply of beasts on sale was but moderate, the demand for that description ofstock was in a very sluggish state, yet prices were supported. There were in the market 35 Oxen and Cows, together with 40 Sheep, from Holland, as also 110 Scots by sea from Aberdeen.

(MEE TING THIS DAY.) A meeting was hell to-day at the London Tavern, at 12 o'clock, to hear the statement of Lieutenant Waghorn re specting the advantages of the overland communication with India, and thence by that route to Australia and New Zea- land. Shortly after the hour specified Mr. Waghorn began by observing that twenty•tive years of his life had been dili gently employed in effecting steam communication with India. At present a great part of the object was effected. Ile had, therefore confined himself to the remainder of the route, and he proposed to go by Singapore to Australia. The distance between these two peints was 4,450 miles, and the way which he advocated was from. Singapore to a port in Java, thence to Port Essenden, in Batavia, thence to Wednesday Islands, in Australia, and thence to Port Jackson ; thus dividing these 4,450 miles into four stages, He had yesterday had an interview with a member of the Government, who had stated that this route, and this alone, would be approved of by them. By this route they believed that the communication would be effected, and the further object would be served of establishing a steam navy in Australia. Letters were then read from the Liverpool and Manchester Chambers of Commerce, and from an eminent house in Leeds, all approving of the design s and giving answers within thirty-six hours of the dispatch of the inquiries. On the motion of Mr. WAGHORN, Sir GEORGE LARPENT, was called to the chair who, after thanking the meeting for the honour done him, stated that the object of this meeting was to establish a branch on the great trunk steam line to China anil the remote east. With the benefits of steam navigation all were acquainted, and it was needless, therefore, to attempt to elder upon them, but this much he might observe, that in a great commercial empire like this, steam communication was the great bond by which it was to be tied together in one than unity, and that, in fact. it might be said to be essential to its security. His own correspond ence with Australia quite justified the belief that the scheme would be eminently beneficial to both portions of the empire. But the question was, how were the expenses to be met ? It appeared, then, that the Government were ready to approve of the plan which Mr. Waghorn had devised, and it might, therefore, be anticipated that some assistance from that quarter might, with reason, he expected; but yet it must be met by the energetic co , operation of those around him and of the other merchants of Great Britain. With this remark, he would call upon Mr. Scott, the agent of Australia, to move the first re solution.—(Cheers.) Mr. Scow, in moving the first resolution, which was approving of Mr. Wagliorn's plan, alluded to the anxiety universally felt on the arrival of ie re vs from India ; and after referring to the superior benefits of peace over the glorious triumphs of war, he would not hesitate to assert, that the boundless plains of Australia would be productive of far greater wealth than the mines of Mexico and Peru. He believed that the difference between the value of the trade with foreign countries and that with the colonies was but little known, and lie would, therefore, take the opportunity of contrasting the value of these several trades now carried on with countries com prising one-fourth of the population of the globe, a popula tion indeed not less than 160,000,000. He found then Prussia took 6d. a head of our goods and manufactures, the countless millions of Russia took Bd. a head, France Is. sd. a head, the united States of Germany 3s. 10d., and the United States of America now took ss. 81 a head, but he should observe that before the United States ceased to be a colony of this country it took 1/. a head. But what was the case with the colonies? Why Canada takes 1/. 15s. a head, the West Indies takes 21. 17s. 6d. a head, and at one time New South Wales took 101. a head, though now it had declined to 71. 10s.; . and the whole average of the consumption of the colonies was 1/. 14s. 61 a head, and he found that this country abso lutely furnished, on au average, as much as Is. a head to every inhabitant of the globe. In 1840, the Australian Co lonies took as much as 2,6A0.000/. worth of the produce and manufactures of this country, while from ill the world besids they took only 385,000/.. among a population of 1,300,000. On an average of the last five years, the number of ships inwards Was 605, with a tonnage of 141,000, and of those cleared outwards was 138,000, though during the last. year these numbers had .declined respectively to 417 ships in wards, with a tonnage of 87,000, and 569 ships outwards, with a tonnage of 109,000. On an average of the last five years the imports had been 1,895,000!., although last year they had declined to 9'11,000/. The exports, during the same period, had been 1,158,000/., but last year 1,128,000/, giving employment, one way or the other, to upwards of 3,000X0 of individuals. During the year 1844, no less than 13,500,0001145. of wool had been imported- into this country alone; and if he might trespass still further, he would ob serve, that within the fifteen years in which this colony had been brought to its present importance, the stock had risen 2heeot a o orerhtin: other of fort arfpt(roprobvi provinces cahrnu t edame s csn v etoe o gsosfrfe, from three ewes and one ram to flocks consisting in the n ilal d btewi o rler n ayrd e e, e ot, c A c fw o to a uh w fet t serr t s tto l ehmr e pa . i a ul ba ai b n gu n e e g d l e i .:l .te!aeoogrsbygcl tobacco, way r e t (d a o )s in 6o tiw e f d t " iti u e t i h id l: : soo f v t i a tr t: r h iot d et s e nl sh : s i oe o gßi e at f u )yr r nro t )i td h ; wt : semi t e r d o pfiocra rice, countries.l eottropical equallylue l e a a n and of communication the benefits would be conferred on larger and more populous countries than any other. He had made these remarks because he believed that the value of Australia was very insufficiently known, and with this remark he would move the resolution. Mr. BOYLE, in 4conding . the restitution, said that he and other friends were exceedingly desirous of establishing a communication, but before taking any decided course they had thought it necessary to consult that great and enter prising man who had already brought Bombay within twenty-six days, eight hOurs, of London, and through whose aid he hoped that Australia would be brought within 56 days 8 hours of this metropolis. By Panama the distance was greater than-by this route by 2,000 miles. The establishment of this line of communication would not oily , unite the several colonies with the mother co untr y , but wit each other. It would, however, hive t he furt.her advantage attending it of facilitating the supply of assistance and the settlement-of new colonists in those a Ci* .t,nt lands, as well as o bt a i n i n g recreation and of giving to the inhabita nts of India the opportunity of health in a milder climate than their own. After a few words f rom Mr. Henderson, in favour of a d m ake the Isle of France the point of rest, line which would to the meeting pledg in g itself to the route by and other observations fr om Mr. Evans Smith, who objected particular Singapore; The CHM sMAN stated, that as it was exceedingly desirable to have unanimity he had, in order to obtain it, avoided the specialty of the motion, and it was, therefore, altered to th is effect, that this meeting highly approved of the establish ment of steam communication with Australia. On the motion of Mr. WISE, it was resolved that a com mittee should be appointed to take measures for establishing the line, and such assistance as the Government might be ready to render. The motion having been carried, Captain BARBER said that, before moving the next resolu tion, he wished to observe that this was no new plan, for, in 1836, hehad himself called a meeting, which was very nu merously attended, at which meeting a committee had been formed. Nor had they been idle, for they had made a report to a subsequent meeting, and he would, therefore, suggest that some such plan as was then adopted should now be followed. Aftersome conversation, on the suggestion of the Chairman the movers and seconders of ,the resolutions were then ap pointed a committee, with power to take evidence, and to report at some subsequent meeting what, in their opinion, was the best route to Australia. Thanks were then moved to Mr. Waghorn, for calling the meeting, and for his energy and courage in opening the route to India. Thanks were also voted to the Chairman, and the meeting broke up.

A correspondent at• Paris, on the authority of a traveller just arrived from Bayonne, communicates to us some inte resting particu'ars respecting the arrival of the Infante Don Enrique in that city. We have reason to believe in the ex , " actness of the fa, ts, which we submit to our readers. The following is the communication ofour correspondent :--- " I think that you will be pleased to receive trustworthy Intelligence resp-cting the unexpected arrival of the Spanish Prince Don Banque in the city of Bayonne. These particular! 1 derive from a person of credit, and I can assure you that the young Infante is by no means unworthy of the band of his august cousin the Queen of Spain. This was the first i lea which struck my mind on conversing with Don Enrique , since, judging from his antecedents, the fact. of his being a candidate for !he royal hand is the principal cause wbi has necesslated his absence from Spain, where his presence gave umbrage to the reactionist party, who could not be hold with any degree of satisfaction aPrince of the bloody favour muchl o o of bykleegdealiptytosed n his i e s opnasrt on n who l has principles, declared at o t p h e e n ly in time that he declared, in his celebrated thoug h p erha p s some what inopportune mansfesto, his desire for the reconciliationn ti of all Spaniards who were willing to recog nise the Qnee and the tundamental laws of the state. " The passport which he bears from the Captain -General of Galicia, expresses that he goes with royal permission t . O iake the waters of the Pyrenees ; but, notwithstanding thil official formality, there can be no doubt that the true object of his involuntary journey is to keep him at a distance fro° Spain, in order to enable the Camarilla to ripen the matri• nionial.projects in vogue, but which will be realised with difficulty, since the Spanish nation is utterly averse either; the marriage with Trapani or that with Montemolin. "According to inforriaation and reasoning which I believe to be most exact and conclusive, I am convinced that eithere of these marriages will entail immense calamities on th Peninsula ; and anarchy and the purest theocratical despo tism will be the final result of either of these most unpoplihir unions... To hold any other opinion would be most illusory, and both England and France are interested in preCen ti°g the success of both. " I certainly was far from being a partisan of the preten d sions of the Infante ani Enrique, but the information I re ceive from most respectable persons, who have seen an" conversed with him, and have possessed ample opportunit iel of judging with impartiality, induce me to think that thin and marriage , moat simpleat once solution natural o a f n d t national , he great questionwill he t i h n e easiestspai ; t hat it will giv e genera l sat i s f act i on to t h e p eo pl e , and wa i t / conciliate the respe c ti ve o bj ec t s o f E ng l an d and France, botU of whom must desire to see the throne of the Queen a nti a reasonable and just liberty for the Spanish nation peacefully and substantially consolidated. It is incomprehensible ever suppose that the King of France and M. Guizot could , regard the Mont e molin marriage in any other light than si a steppiu-stone for the restoration of the Duke of Bordeaux' " The Infante Don Enrique joins to affable and agreealre manners, and to a person interesting though not striking , th most noble and conciliatory sentiments; and with regard ! ,4 : his opinions on international subjects, I can assert , on till° authority of conversations from the lips of the Prince, tn/11 without ceasing to be enthusiastically Spanish, and a friers _ to the independence of his country, he entertains a wan _ ' _' desire for Wits friendship of England and France, a cl os i alliance with which our young sailor regards as most ilsetni to Spain, as tending to consolidate in her that constitu tions . , G overn ment which the nation has earned by so =my an u such painful sacrifices. " The success of the claims of a son of the Infante Dn ii i Francisco can alone remove all difficulties, and is capable of removing whatever European complications may, oPP a" n e themselves to the settlement of a question which is , ei all, purely Spanish. If France desires that a Prince of 1, house of Bourbon should possess the hand of Isabella, br it , can she, after due reflection, oppose the claims of a Sp anls ti to Prince educated with the sons of Louis Philippe, agreeable._ the Queen and to the nation, and who certainly is not at?: approved by England ? I feel that, owing to my desire to save Spain from trouble and sorrow, and to remove Europa', complications, I have wandered into diplomatic discussion s ; but, to return to my task of narration, I may mention t he the Prince left Corunna on beard of the brig o f war Of stitucion, landed at Socon, and arrived a t Bayonne on t„, °l3 genSepsatendishhiVs Ricee•yCalonHsiuglhannedssthpsep3elrmayiissirionfnSttn.JaeaeeneindepaLnulz,h/Lf; evening of the sth as a privat e i n di v id ua l , accompan ied V j u th re e The suite of Don Enrique consists of Senor Pineiro, cal )l 7, in the navy, who is attached to him in the quality of se r. l.; tary, a steward, and two servants.
