C." we answer, No. Epsom is 17 miles from the Strand; but upwards of 9 miles were done in twenty-two minutes by one horse. The publication of THE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 25 minutes past Three o' Clock. LONDON: FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 13, 1837. New York papers, to the 2.5tb ult. inclusive ; Mon treal papers, to the 22d ; and Quebec papers, to the 20th, have been received by the packet-ship Shef field, which arrived on Wednesday night at Liver pool. The Shcffield has brought about 10,0001. in gold and dollars on freight. The mercan tile atmosphere of the United States was gradually brightening, though none of the measures recommended by the President had passed the House of Assembly on the 23d. In fact, business was proceeding very slowly, in consequence of the eagerness of Members to indulge in long-winded speeches, rather intended for the gratification of their own vanity and the subse quent perusal of their constituents, than for the infor mation of their fellow-legislators. Nevertheless in confident anticipation of the adoption of its measures, the Executive had sanetianed the issuing of the follow ipg Treasury Circular which was addressed to the se veral banking establishments throughout the union : " Treasury Department, Sept. 19, 1887. Sir—A Bill is now before Congress to authorize the President of the United States to cause the issue of Treasury notes for such sum or sums as he may think expedient, but not exceeding, in the whole amount of notes issued, the sum of 12,000,000 dollars, and of de nominations of not less than 100 &liars for one note, to be reimbursed at the Treasury of the United States after the expiration of one year from the dates of the said notes respectively. " I will thank you to state whether, in the event of the passa g e of this bill, you will agree to take the said notes from the Government, and give the Treasurer of the United States a credit for the amount, to be drawn for as may be necessary, and payable in specie if required ; and, if so, to state what amount you will receive, and the lowest rate of interest to be borne by said notes. " I are, very respectfully, your obedient servant, " LEVI WOODBURY, " Secretary of the Treasury." This is a most nonsensical appeal to any mercantile body. What interest can the Banks hare in paper i-sued by the Treasury ? Why not get rid of the difficulties of a credit. by adopting the straightforTard and rational plan of making the Treasury paper a legal tender without interest ? The crooked and selfish policy of the Executive will eventually recoil upon itself. The :31ornihg Chronicle of Wednesday claim:, with much justice, great merit to her MAJESTY'S Ministers for being the first Administration that has ever governed I reland on Protestant Principles. We wish, however, that the Chronicle would not use phrases which may be em ployed by the Orange faction and by the Whig party with equal justice. What Christianity teaches Govern ments to do is one thing, and what Christian Govern ments, under the name and title of Protestants, have done, is another. There is not an atrocity complained of by Ireland, during the last 300 years of cruel oppression, which has not been committed under the plea of Chris tian principles. Every sacrifice in Smithfield in former days, as well as in Ireland in more recent times, have been made under the name, title, and pretence of Christianity—the latter to support Christianity by Popish blood and Popish plunder. In short, we cannot look back to the long and horrible list of cruelties and acts of oppression for the period we have mentioned, without finding the perpetrators calling themselves Christians, members of the true Church, and acting against their own feelings for the good of the Christian Church. As regards Lord MULGRA VE we therefore repudiate the allegation of the Chronicle, that he is governing Ireland on Protestant principles, as they are now understood by the Orange and Tory factions of England and Ireland. Protestantism, the religion of the New Testament, the guide for sincere Christians, teaches that each Parson, and every pro fessing Christian ought, by acts and language, to imitate our SAVIOUR, and strive to promote peace and good will amongst men. Will any man look to the past and present conduct of the Churchmen—the Protes tants— in Ireland, and with a safe conscience say that the character or conduct of them, as a body, have been directed to promote those objects, according to the precepts of the sacred founder of the Christian religion ? Will the massacre at Rathcormac, and other places, of very recent date, where the land was moistened with human blood by the very hands, in the presence of, or by direction of the teachers of Christianity—the ministers of our SAVIOUR—be cited in proof of the triumph of the principles of Protestan tistn ? The Chronicle ought not therefore to adopt the cant and verbiage of the Tory faction, but speak of Ireland, and of the acts of the Irish Government, rit .k s , a language plain and intelligible.

On ann. institutions of the country productive of good go- ' vernment to the inhabitants. We speak advisedly when we say the people seek only for j us ti ce , an d that Lord MULGRAVE is governing Ireland on truly Christian principles—he is striving amidst con tending elements, the fruit of former misrule, to work out, as far as he can, fair measures for the people of Ireland. We cannot say justice, for with such a Chancellor as Lord PLUNKET, and with so many officials of the old, corrupt, oppressive, and un- Christian Government, it is impossible that Lord MULGRAVE can administer justice. The people of Ireland see this ; they have confidence in the pure and patriotic intentions of his Lordship ; and they are quiet and contented with their miserable situation, in the hope that the British Legislature, by improving de fective, by abolishing bad, and by introducing new institutions where wanted, will ultimately place them in the same situation as the people of England and Scotland. The people of Great Britain are miser ably treated by bad laws, by Tory officials of every grade, and they suffer greatly from the existing sys tem of mirule ; but they are, nevertheless, compara tively happy when compared with the Irish people. The people of Ireland demand only justice, equal justice with England ; and Lord MULGRAVE, in his admi nistration of bad laws amidst Tory and Orange factions, has the merit of doing all the justice he can. The people know this, respect him for what he would do if he had the power, and are as ready to support him with their lives and property as any subjects of her MA JESTY. We have stated this much to put our readers in possession of our views of the past and present state of Ireland, under the operation of Protestant prin ciples; and we object altogether to the Chronicle's adoption of the cant of the Times and other Orange journals. We go further—we ask our Con temporary, whether he is warranted in saying that it is the Ministry—i. C. Lord MELBOURNE'S Mi- nistry—who are governing Ireland on those prin ciples he approves of, and which are producing, under whatever name, peace and satisfaction amongst the mass of the people ? If we judge from the conduct of the Ministry in the government of other Viceroyalties, the provinces of the Canadas, and see the principles on which their Governors are acting, _ .. and the results of such government—viz., dis cgrd, dissatisfaction, and strife —every thing, in fact, that can distract a country short of civil war, we may well ask whether Lord GOSFORD and Sir FRANCIS HEAD are acting upon Protestant prin ciples ? Are the proceedings in these provinces the result of Lord MELBOURNE'S Ministerial Orders, or are they the acts of the Lieutenant-Governors ? We know that to the people—to the Canadians—it is the same whether tyranny and oppression are the acts of the Lieutenant-Governors, or the acts of Lord MEL BOURNE'S Ministry. We are sorry not to have served our Contemporary a little more alive to the state of the Canadian people, and to the operations of the Government there. He has devoted for months his co lumns to combat the absurdities of the Standard and Times about Ribbonmen, Dens' Theology, and other absurdities and non-entities ; but not a word on the prin ciples on which the Ministry are acting towards Ca nada. We have been led to think that good prin ciples are the same wherever they are acted upon. They may be honestly or dishonestly carried out, but the principles are the same. We are as desirous as the Chronicle to support Lord MELBOURNE'S Ad ministration, as being the only Ministry from whom the country might expect Reform, in return for its devotion to support it. The Chronicle talks of the Protestant principles of Lord MEL BOURNE'S Ministry. Are its principles really Chris tian and Protestant principles ? Is it acting on the precept of our Saviour—doing to others as we would that others should do unto us ?" If principles are uniformly Protestant, how happens it that the Lieutenant-Governors appointed by it act differently in Ireland and in the Canadas ? In Ire land Ministers take credit for their professions, and wish to restore the institutions, and to give to the people the management of their municipal corpora tions, and to abate the rancour and animosity arising from an endowed Church, supported by per sons not professing that religion ; and great are the lamentations of the Whigs throughout the land that the Orange and Tory party prevent them from acting in accord with the desires of the people of Ireland. In Canada Lord MELBOURNE is depriving .he people of the Constitutional power they have o►er the revenues of the province—is superseding, by a resolution of an English House of Commons, the rights and privileges of a whole people—and the result of such conduct is discord, discontentment, and the danger of civil war, or rather of rebellion against the British ,rower. As the Orange faction for many years acted on Protestant principles, oppressing the Catholica, re fusing to admit any one to the magistracy, to the mi litia, or to office--so ►n Canada, on Protestant prin ciples, Lord GosFoito and Sir FRANCIS HEAD are stifling, or attempting to stifle, by proclamations, the expression of public opinion—are dismissing Members of Parliament in August for having attended meet ings of their constituents in May—are prescribing from the magistracy, frog the militia,' and from the bench, every Canadian who dares to be honest, and girl an honest opinion on the acts of the Government. If the Ministry, therefore, are acting on Protestant prin ciples towards the Irish, they must be acting on Heathenish principles towards the Canadians ; and before we give credit to any Administration for exces sive attachment to pure Protestantism, it must be consistent, and act to all portions of the empire with equal justice. When we see conduct sub versive of the principles of the British Constitu tion, for which our forefathers fought and bled—for which the STUARTS were expelled, and the House of Brunswick elected in their stead—when we see such portions of the Empire as the Canadas torn to pieces by faetions, oppressed by the misrule of their governors—the representatives of Majesty ; when we see discord far and wide, and rebellion threatened—we cannot say with the Chronicle that Lord MEL BOURNE'S Administration, which countenances the causes of so many evils, is acting on Protestant prin ciples. The people of England are even now beginning to think that the merit of the change of the govern ment in Ireland, and of the peace reigning there, is owing to Earl MULGRAvE ; whilst the demerit of misruling and oppressing the Canadas is due to Lord JOHN RUSSELL and the other Members of the Cabinet here. We trust that Lord MELBOURNE will look to this. His own character and the Ministerial existence of his Colleagues are at stake. What Lord IVIuLGrtA vE would do for Ireland let him effect for the Canadas. To both concede equal justice—this this will be to act on the principles of true Pro testantism. Our columns to-day contain proofs of the progress of Church-rate agitation. The proceedings in the populous parish of Christ Church, Surrey, will be read with a lively interest by all who are watching the manifestations of popular feeling on this important ques tion. It is a common saying, that if you give a dog rope enough ho will hang himself. The clergy of the so called National Church are every day affording ex amples of this species of self destruction. By the intemperance of their eonduct, their constant in terference in secular affairs which thoy do not understand, and their systematic opposition to all measures of a liberal tendency, they have acquired THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1837 in the public mind a most unenviable distinction from the Ministers of other religious sects. That they have a certain degree of respect with a certain class of persons we do not deny ; but who are those persons ? Those who look upon an Established Church as a good engine of State stand up for the privileges of the clergy, perfectly regardless of the ma terials that go to the formation of . the cleri cal character. 'With them it is no speck in a clergyman's reputation to grasp as many livings as his interest may be able to procure. If he puts a curate into each, on wages which a journeyman in the lowest mechanic trade would spurn, he has done all that the Established Church requires. The public have no business with his personal character. He may spend his time in any manner he pleases—in following the hounds of the neighbouring squires, in mixing himself up with the party politics of the day, in the frivolous pursuits of the fashionable world, or in the profligacy which its example sanctions—it mat ters not—he is not a whit the less estimable as a cler gyman. But how is such a man regarded by those who have• any respect for religion for its own sake ? When they compare this Minister of the Church with the Minister of the Gospel, what a contrast do they behold ! Where they look for humility they find pride ; where they expect spiritual mindedness they see nothing but worldliness ; instead of zeal in the cause of religion, an utter indifference, if not aver sion, to everything beyond the mere outward forma lities ,of an established ritual. The natural con sequence of this clerical character is in some a rejec tion of all religion, as a piece of priestly humbug. These shallow reasoners very unfairly infer the want of truth in a system, whose ministers are so diffe rent from what they ought to be—and would be, were they influenced by its spirit. Others, again, are disgusted, and, quitting the communion of a Church which can sanction such things, resort to the Meeting House, where they are sure to find a decent respect paid to religion in the conduct of its Ministers. The Church is now reaping the fruits of he r imprudent management. She does not seem to have been aware that there was anything wrong in her system until she finds herself in a minority where she once claimed undivided allegiance. Still her 'Mi nisters seem to learn no wisdom from experience. They are day after day rushing headlong into the Church-rate strife, as if they could possibly do any thing but injury to themselves and the Church by such a course. Are there not causes already enough and more than enough at work to excite the ill will of the people towards the clerical body. Why should they wantonly add fuel to the flame ? What end can they expect to gain by bringing themselves into collision with their parishioners, on a question of so exciting a nature as that of the abolition of Church-rates ? If they had a grain of common sense they would keep aloof, and let the rate-payers, who are the only parties inte rested, fight the battle among themselves. Letters and papers from Madrid of the 3d inst. have been received. The French telegraph has anti cipated the substance of all the news contained in them. The Baron de CARONDELET, in a despatch dated the 28th ult., gives a most pompous account of his glorious and never-to-be-forgotten victory over ZARIATEGUI at Valladolid. Stripped of the orienta lisms in which the account is clothed, the despatch really records but a very common-place affair, in which there was considerably more noise than real danger. The following despatch from ESPARTERO appears in the Madrid Gazette of the Ist inst.:— " The General-in-Chief of the united armies, the Conde Luchana, informs the Minister of War from Penaranda, on the 29th, that the division of the army commanded by General Lorenzo, and the faction of Zariategui, had ap proached Arando de Duero the day before, and nearly at the same time ; and that the latter having had sufficient time to obstruct the passage of the bridge by parapets, General Lorenzo declined forcing the passage, seeing that the Pretender, pursued by the Conde Luchana, was coming up. Both factions now fled in the direction of Gurniel de Izam, abandoning the town of Aranda de Duero." Nothing certain was known respecting the appoint ment of a new Cabinet. The elections were proceed ing peaceably in favour of the Constitutional party. Letters from Darcoa of the 25th, stated that on the preceding day Brigadier PANTALEON BONE had sentenced the Confessor of Don CAitLos and th e Vicar-General of the Franciscan Order in Spain to be shot at Buesca, and that the sentence was instantly executed. These savage and inhuman outrages will naturally provoke corresponding acts of brutal atrocity on the part of the rebels. The deliberations of the Cortes were quite uninte resting, the Members being unwilling to adopt any im portant measures before, the election of the new Deputies. The whole of the Paris Journals of Wednesday have been received. In the official columns of the Monitcur we find the following telegaphic despatches : " BAYONNE, OCT. 9, QUARTER TO 7 O'CLOCK.—Espar toro and Lorenzo were, on the Ist, at Lerma, and Caron delet at Gumiel. Don Carlos was at Covarrubio?, with Zariategui. " Oraa had drawn artillery and ammunition from Daroca, in order to besiege Cantavieja. " The fort of Peralta, in Navarre, defended by a gar rison of 500 men, has been taken by the Carlists. " tiranga is now besieging Lodosa. " The Madrid Gazette of the 4th did not yet contain the official appointment of the new Ministers." " NARaONNE, OCT. 9.—The elections in Valencia on the Ist promised to be favourable to the moderate party. Cabrera and Forcadell had arrived at Villar, and Oraa was supposed to be at Utiel. " O❑ the 2d Brigadier Carbo defeated the band of Mal lona at Manlleu, near Vich, and took 200 prisoners. " Barcelona was tranquil on the 3d. A corps of 3,000 insurgents occupied Vacarissas, a town within six leagues of that city. The Carlists were masters of the Lower Ebro from Tortosa to Mequinenza." Advices were received in Paris on Wednesday even ing, to the effect that Senors BALANZAT and CAS TEJON had refused to accept the departments of War and Justice in the Madrid Cabinet. They likewise stated that on the Ist instant the Pretender was at San Domingo de Silos, ESPARTERO at Lerma, and CARONDELET at Aranda de Douro. An engage ment was considered inevitable, unless the Pretender accelerated his retreat. On the 4th instant General ORAA, in a conference with the principal inhabitants of Burgos, stated that he expected in three days to receive, by way of mili tary contribution, 20,0001., to be levied on the city and province, to supply the wants of his division of the army. This demand was not considered unreason able, and the authorities gave the necessary orders for collecting the money. ORAA'S division is in a de plorable state of destitution. The men are without money, clothing, and rations. The instant the contri bution demanded by ORAA was handed to him he en gaged to attack CANTAVIEJA, and by one blow de stroy the power of the Carlists on the Lower Ebro. The marriage of. the Princess MARY of Orleans has been postponed to the 17th, to allow time for the return of a courier from Wurtemberg. We have copied from the correspondence of a Morn ing Contemporary a letter from Bayonne of the 7th instant, containing an account of the partial failure of a Christine expedition for the liberation of the pri soners confined at Marquina. We unequivocally con demn the excesses reported to have been committed by this expedition upon the miserable inhabitants of three village i on the coast. (From the French Papers.) Our Correspondent at Toulon writes to us on the 7th. The Actceou steamer is ordered to Tunis with despatches for the Prince de Joinville, and for Captain Casy, who commands the Hercules. The Chamois, from Cette, has anchored here ; the three steam-boats, Chimere, Tartaric, and Phan., have left our port for Bona, with part of the 61st regiment of the line, which will arrive too late to partake in the expedition. We are in daily expectation of the news of the arrival of the army before Constantine, which will doubtless hold out several days. General Damrcment has taken battering cannon with him, of which the army had none last year. There has been no new case of cholera at Toulon to day ; the physicians think the disorder will stop where it is. On the whole there have been 86 cases in the city and hos pitals, of which 61 have proved fatal.—Constitutionnel. Prince Talleyrand is expected at Paris to-morrow ; he means to be present at the marriage of Princess Mary. Messrs. Thiers and Guizot have returned. The return of General Cordova is likewise announced, who has doubtless judged that the time is not yet come for him to go back to Spain. Captain Cosy, of the Hercules, not finding the French garrison at Tunis, has sent to Toulon for fresh orders, which have been forwarded by the Acheron. It is thought the Hercules will be ordered to proceed on its voyage to the South Seas. It is said that M. Bourqueney, Secretary to the French Legation at London, was recalled on account of the facility with which he gave a passport for Paris to Count Gon falionerc. The Government seems to intend to augment the army of observation of the Pyrenees. A detachment of the train of artillery passed through Bordeaux on the 4th, on its way to Bayonne, and a detachment of artillery is expected, which is to go from Douai to Bayonne.-Le Commerce.

B.—Arrived the Kestrel, Commodore the Earl of Yarborough, from Brighton, and sailed again on the 9th on a cruise. OcT. 9. Passed, the Charlotte brig, the Marquis of Wa terford, to the Eastward ; and the Vampire cutter, John Linlegren, to the Westward. The Owen Glendower cutter, Major John Hall, of the Guards, is expected to sail this day, 13th, for Cadiz and the Western Islands. The Fanny y,cht, T. P. Halsey, Esq., is fitting for a voyage to Madeira. The weather is as fine as it was in August, and attracts numerous visitors ; amongst others we noticed his Grace the Duke of St. Alban's en route to Plymouth, and the Marchioness of Lothian on a tour of the Island. The price of lodgings is very much reduced, houses with 12 to 16 beds letting for 30s. per week. The inhabitants of Cowes were again alarmed by a cry of fire on Monday afternoon, this being the third fire in this neighbourhood in a fortnight : it was occasioned by a chimney in a house in Carvel-lane taking fire and communi cating with the roof, but it luckily being discovered in the day time, it was got under without much difficulty and did but trifling damage ; had it occured in the night, that part of the town being densely populated and but very little water to be procured, the greater part must have been de stroyed. The inhabitants are beginning to see the neces sity of their being better prepared against accidents of this kind, and propose, with the assistance of the different As surance Companies, to procure another engine, provided with suction pipes, buckets, fire hooks, &c., all which they are now without. NEwroaT.—Lord Heytesbury is reported to be very ill —the Tories say he'll' die, when of course that " Naeral born" legislator, the Hon. W. A'Court Holmes will fill that place in the Upper House which Dame Nature in tended him for. They hare already been looking round in order to procure some one of equal wisdom and ability to re present them in the Lower House, and we hear they have fixed on the Chairman of that Hon. Gentleman's late elec tion committee, Blashford, Esq., of Osborne Park, one Of her Majesty's Justices of the Peace acting for the division of the Isle of Wight, &c. &c.! !! OLYMPIC THEATRE. A highly diverting burletta was produced at this theatre last night, and was completely successful. It has for its title A Quiet Day. Mr. Augustus Somerday (Mr. Keeley) has retired from Gracechurch-street to sylvan shades, and, being a man intensely desirous of tranquillity, determines, after three days bustle of visiting to and from bii; new neighbours, to have " a quiet day" to himself, provided Mrs. Somerday (Mrs. Keeley), a lady of an excitable turn, will let him. No sooner, however, has he seated himself in his garden to indulge in the delightful anticipation, than an old schoolfellow,Mr. Marsden, rushes in breathless, and demands concealment till the result of an affair of honour, in which he has been engaged, becomes known. Poor Somerday, who is ready to yield everything so that he may be quiet, ensconces the duellist in the arbour, and, as a further favour, writes for him a letter to his mistress, Emma Venture. This letter Mrs. Sonzerday,gets hold of, and, no name being subscribed, her jealousy takes fire, and her husband becomes in her eye all that is perfidious. To add to his miseries, iVlrs. O'Reilly (Miss Murray), a neigh bour's wife, leaves her husband's house in a tiff, and wanders into the grounds of Sonierday, to whom she was yet a stranger. Somerday, surprised by his suspicious wife 16te d-tete with the new arrival, pretends that she is a runaway niece of hi uncle Stately. Mrs. Somerday hereupon locks the damsel up in a chamber till Mr. Stately is written to. No sooner has the point been thus settled for the time being, than Mr. O'Reilly (Mr. Brougham) rushes in to communicate his misfortune to Mr. Somerday. The ex pressions of Keeley's horror at the denunciations thundered out by the enraged Irishman against whomsoever shall harbour his wife are ludicrous in the extreme. Sonicrday's dilemmas do not end here, for Stately's niece, who is no other than Emma Venture herself, has really run away, and does really come to his house, followed by her uncle. Con fusion becomes worse confounded ; but after a scene of the most laughable misconceptions on all sides, matters are cleared up to the satisfaction of all parties. The burletta is one of the best Madame Vestris has produced for some time past. The Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Prussia arrived at Tegernsee, on the 29th ult., and in the course of the same day the Dowager Electress of Bavaria. The Dowager Empress of Austria was expected to arrive on the 30th or the following day, and the Queen of Saxony and the hereditary Grand Duchess Matilda of - Hesse were like wise expected. The Duke of Wellington is expected in town from Walmer early in the ensuing week. The Duke of Bedford has left his seat, The Doune, in Scotland, for Woburn Abbey, in Bedfordshire, where it is expected his Grace will arrive to-morrow. DOG CARTS, AND NIGHT HACKNEY COACHES AND CABS.—One of" The Animals' Friend Society's" offi cers, named Gibbons (not of the Society usually called for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,) last week summarily took George Sly, a drover, before Mr. Trail, for cruelty to a sheep, and he was committed for seven days ; also James Grimby, for gross cruelty to a dog, drawing a heavy cart, and he was fined. The late services of this institution against these nuisances have given universal satisfaction, as well as its services in detecting the barbarity perpetrated, under the shield of midnight, on the wretched night hackney coach and cab horses. Yesterday morning, between six and seven o'clock, on unmooring a barge lying in the river off Shadwell, the body of a man, apparently between forty and fifty years of age, was turned up. He was dressed as a mechanic ; but there was nothing about his person to lead to the discovery of who he was. The body was towed ashore ;it has evi dently been in the water for some days. Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held at the Middlesex Hospital on the body of John Curtis, aged seven years, whose death occurred under the following circumstances. The deceased was amusing himself on the premises of Messrs. Mills and Robins, wharfingers, Pad dington, on Monday afternoon last, when a horse, the pro perty of the above-named,firm, and which was allowed to be loose in the stable, ran out, and meeting deceased ran against him, knocked him down, and trod on his head. The child was conveyed to a surgeon's in the neighbour hood, who bled him, and suggested that he should be im mediately removed to the above hospital, which was done accordingly, but the injuries were of so extensive a nature that Oceased survived only a few hours. The Coroner remarked upon the impropriety of leaving horses loose in the stable, and the returned a verdict of " Accidental Death." Several of the destitute but able-bodied members of General Evans's Legion have been offered employment by the contractors for preparing the scite of the new Houses of Parliament. WESTMINSTER SESSIONS. (THIS DAY. (Before F. CONST, Esq., Chairman, and a Bench of Magistrates.) THE PARISH OF ST. PANCRAS v. ST. MARGARET'S, WEST-. MINSTER. This case came before the Court upon appeal on behalf I of the parish of St. Pancras against an order for the removal of eight children of a person, named Rodgers, from St. Margaret's, Westminster, to St. Pancras. It appeared that the mother of the children had married a person of the name of Clarke, whose settlement was in the parish of St. Margaret's, Westminster ; but the grand father of the children having rented some years since a house in St. Pancras's parish, the parish of St. Mar garet's contended that the former parish were bound to support the children, which it was sworn the mother and stepfather Clarke were unable to support. The mother of the children, it appeared, had consented to their removal. Mr. PAYNE appeared in support of the order of re moval, contending that, under the New Poor-law Act, the order of removal being with the consent of the mother was right and ought to stand. Mr. PRENDERGAST, on behalf of the parish of St. Pan cras, submitted that the order was incorrect, inasmuch as that parish was not the place of the last legal settlement of Thomas Clarke, the stepfather, of whose family the chil dren were part, and as such chargeable to the parish of St. Margaret, which was the place of his legal settlement. The CHAIRMAN was of opinion that the order was bad, and ought to be quashed; inasmuch as by the provisions of the new Poor-law Act, a party marrying a woman with children, was bound to support them as his own ; and if he could not do so, the parish in which he resided, which was his legal settlement, could be compelled to support them. Some of the other Members of the Court differing in the opinion expressed by the Chairman, the further conside ration of the case was adjourned. THE MARKETS-(THIS DAY. CORN EXCHANGE.

Ritchie's tour through Ireland. It is spirit ; evinces considerable powers of descriVien ; Is every re of a manly, impartial character ; and is in • probe . - spect, far superior to the general run of such tions in Annuals.

The " Forsaken "is pretty, but rath er i i s h sentimental in its character.
