I Evening 0 minutes atter 6 occasion to complain of the great delay that took place in a public office in sending in their clauses to Bills, whereby great expense and inconvenience was occasioned. Sir GEOzaz CLERK believed that such delay did not take place in the office of the Board of Trade, and would take care that, in future, the occurrence complained of should be avoided in all the Government offices. The Chichester and Bognor Railway Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed, on the motion of Mr. Errcounr, who moved the suspension of the standing order 110 for that purpose. Mr. Wmaos PATTEN called the attention of the House to the sixth report of the Railways Classification Committee, and moved an address to her Majesty for the n ailappointmet of a Committee to investigate and report upon the various way projects of which the termini are proposed to be esta blished within, or in the immediate vicinity of the metropolis. Sir R. Pm doubted the propriety of the House adopting the motion upon a mere verbal statement. He should pro pose the debate be adjourned to Monday, when- he would state the course her Majesty's Government would propose to be taken. Mr. F. 111Auts hoped the Government would follow the course proposed by the Committee, and address her Majesty to appoint a Royal Commission. After some observations from Sir G. GREY, Sir R. bats, and Mr. LABOUCPERE, Sir R. ?um , said that notice should be given this day of the motion intended to be made by the Government on the subject on Monday. After a short discussion, the debate was adjourned till Monday. Lord EssuXcTON gave notice of his intention on Tuesday next to move for papers relative to the letting out paupers to hire in the Honiton Union. Mr. P. SCROPE gave notice of his intention, on Tuesday, to move for leave to bring in a Bill for the better protection of life and property in Ireland, by more effectually pro viding for the improvement of the condition of the poor of that country. Mr. litscxissox gave notice of his intention to move, on Tuesday nest, for leave to bring in a Bill to prever.t inter ments in large towns. Sir G, GLEY wished to know whether it was the intention of the Admiralty to institute any inquiry into the loss of the Great Liverpool ? Mr. CORRY thought it would be an objectionable precedent to institute any such inquiry, especially after the directors of the company had instituted an inquiry upon the subject. Mr. P. AI. STEWART, as chairman cf the Committee, said that every care had been taken to prevent accidents, and that this was the first serious one that had occurred in the company's service. Three nautical gentlemen connected with the company had been appointed to inquire into the subject. Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT, in answer to a question from Cap tain LAYARD, stated that he was not prepared, without fur ther inquiry, to make any alterations in the circular which had been issued, by which officers' servants, and other de serving and meritorious soldiers were not allowed to benefit to the full extent of the new warrant. The report on the Fever (Ireland) Bill was agreed to, with certain amendments, the Bill was ordered to be en grossed, and read a third time this day. Mr. ELPHINSTONE obtained leave to bring in a Bill to limit the duration of polls in counties at contested elections of Members to serve in Parliament. Mr. MORRISON then moved, in pursuance to notice, for a Special Committee to inquire whether, without discouraging legitimate enterprise, conditions might not be embodied in railway Acts better fitted than those hitherto inserted in them, to promote and secure the interests of the public. Ile had at first intended to have gone at considerable length into this sulject, but, as he understood his motion was not to be opposed, he would not now do so. Mr. MANGLES, though he would not oppose the motion, thought the French system objectionable, and the lion. Member for Inverness had admitted that by the course he had adop,etl. Mr. PAuxint thought that many . of the railways ought to be postponed for six, twelve, or eighteen months, in order that capital might not be locked up in the way it was likely to be. Mr. HUDSON denied that any alarm need be entertained with respect to the amount of money about to be expended in railways. Mr. LABOUCHERE theught some check ought to be put upon the extraordinary powers that railways were exercising•, otherwise it would be found difficult hereafter to deal with them. _ _ Sir G. CLERK assented to the proposition of the Hon. Member for Inverness, and assured him that every facility would be given by the Government to the fullest inquiry be fore the Committee. Mr. HATTER opposed the motion. After some observations from Lord EBRINGTON and Mr. AGLIONBY, Mr. ENTWISLE supported the motion. He believed that it was the fault of the Legislature that speculation had ex isted to the extent it did last year in railways, and he hoped that the Committee, if appointed, would lay down some rules by which legislation would be more certain and stringent than it had hitherto been. Mr. Hums was glad the Government had agreed to the Committee, because'he was satisfied that great good would come out of it. Mr. P. M. STEWART opposed the Committee. He consi dered that the course of legislation hitherto had been any thing but wise and proper; but he thought such a proposi tion as the present ought to have come from the Govern ment, and not an individual Member. If the Committed was not constituted in a superior manner, it would do more harrh than good. Lord WORSLEY thought there would be great advantage derived from the appointment of the Committee. After some observations from Sir G. GREY, Sir R. PEEL, on giving his consent to the Committee, thought that some early report ought to be made, advising Parliament as to the course it should pursue with respect to proposed and future railways. Lord Joins RUSSELL thought, if the Committee was neces sary, it should have been proposed by the Government. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER supported the Com mittee, and would be ready at all times, as far as lay in his power, to aid their deliberations. After some discussion, in which Mr. F. BARING, Mr. lioßsmAx, and Mr. lillawzr took part, Mr. MORRISON replied, and the motion was agreed to. On the motion of Mr. HOME, certain reports were ordered with respect to the receipt and expenditure of the Post offices of Bengal, Madras, and Bombay. The Burghs (Scotland) Bill went through Committee, and was ordered to be reported on Monday. The report on the Consolidated Fund (8,000,0000 Bill was received, the Bill ordered to be engrossed, and read a third time to-morrow. The Mutiny Bill, and the Marine Mutiny Bill, went through committee. The Fever (Ireland) Bill was read a third time and passed, and the House adjourned. It has been generally observed that a strong Opposition is for the good of the country. At the present moment. it must be confessed, that, numerically—for want of cementing princi ples, or by reason of circumstances peculiar to the era in which we live, preventive of that union between various sections who are presumed to be generally adverse to the Government—the country is without the benefit of a strenuous Opposition: Nevertheless—though, for the reason stated, the power of resistance likely to be presented against the Ministry is but limited—yet, in point of talent, it will be acknow ledged that the country pessesses in the ranks of the opponents to the servants of the Crown a salutary check upon the ex ercise of that power which is ever within the reach of the Government, and which, without some such controlling in fluence, would be highly dangerous to the valuable privi leges under which we hare the happiness to live. It is our good fortune that, in the absence of any organised system of opposition to the Administration of the day, we are re lieved from any apprehension of suffering under such weak ness, by being justified in reposing great confidence in the integrity, skill, and vast experience of the first Minister of the Crown; and, on the other hand, this confidence is by no means .iiminished by a sense of the highly honourable feelings which uniformly actuate the mind and conduct of his thief political opponent. Lord J. RUSIZLL, having failed to form a Ca binet, notwithstanding that he had the assurance of Sir R. Pam. that in hie capacity of a private Member of Par liament, he should not be wanting in his utmost support to carry out the measures loudly called for by the novel and melancholy position of Ireland on the one side, and the voice of public opinion on the other, now bears his part nobly, in reciprcesting a statesmanlike generosity and aiding, to the beat of his ability, the laudable endea vonre of the reinstated Cabinet to effectuate such measures as are strictly and urgently demanded by the state of the common weal, both local and general. In this view we yes terday recognised with satisfaction the animus with which, by deferring his motion respecting Ireland until after the recess, Lord J. Roseau. exhibited himself as a faithful find henourable helpmate of those whose energies are, under most trying circumstances, devoted to the public welfare. Had Lord Joule, mind been differently moulded, bad the springs of his cenduct been of ether and alloyed material, instead of the moat pure—had he been prompted by'party jealousy, or sordid Views, what embarrassment might 4 • not have caused to the Government, what fearful eonaequeneee not entailed upon the country, had he stood upon his right of earlier bringing under the consideration of Parlia ment his motion respecting Ireland—a motion which, note, by being well timed, may, regard being bad to his will merited fame and great abilities, be productive of mach national good. Hence, we have in an unrivalled commercial country• the leaders of Ore great parties in the state such, that were either of them to make a tour through the principal marts of our land, they 'would , be everywhere welcomed as men of whom we had just Ireason•te be proud, and to whose masterly superintendence we may in future safely made the consideration of all our national interests. _ _ ......._ , ~ , In Loc4llJona we recognise a mental structure of that pro. minent capacity which has always enabled him to take his place in the van of civilisation, and of its own strength to evolve Bound schemes of policy, justly anticipating the public wants; and judiciously paring away the various defor mities which, with the progress of time, are apt to be constantly incrustating the different institutions of even the best of states. In his great rival we have another mind of equal largeness—but not by nature so liaannupdtecheoleuernt:pboaltieuldamltyeadutoinogftei aes rapp t le with wholesome theories, so as to launch th em in time to attend upon the march of public even ts• Yet. 1 8 a practical man, which is a valuable feature dringschem theires, country like ours, where such great prheurgn s uanu b it ave se artificially sprung up for winnowing a ingredients from new and exten sive alteration and reformwits:hnnwitathhetreseeedsandofcautious cur body politic, and surrounding lty. sirß . p ji c izr for accommodating th em spirit, in nicely poised aocordan 1 cumstances, which have evoked the necessi t y , and presents to us a combination of admirable at tainments suitable for the high position to which his talent have se justly elevated him. Sir RoBERT Pz has had the disadvantage of being hi therto Con nected with men who . have ever lagged behind the growing enlightenment of their compatriots ; . while, on the contrary, Lord JOHN has had the benefit of being in cern _ minion and action with minds kindred to his owa. Lord Jona has, no doubt. by his intellectual superiority, braced up the minds of his colleagues, and thereby accele rated the extraordinary improvement we have effected in our institutions within the last twenty year,. Sir BOBIRT Putt has, with equal certainty, by his firmness and Pra mantling powers ? Oyez; • laelthitr Out $o hi, official associates, and through the attempering their feel ings, and moderating their prejudices, has succeeded in saving the natioa from the rude shock of many a civil convulsion. It is impossible that with other than feelings of warm and grateful admiration we can regard two such pillars of the State, securely upholding, as it were, by their united exertions, the graceful pediment of our matchless Constitution, and keeping its portals thrown widely open for the introduction of the riches of civilisation, in addition to the inestimable treasures already within the ancient walls of the noble edifice. May these two great statesmen long be preserved to us; and ntay we from their joint wisdom derive many additional benefits to the benefits that we have already re ceived at their hands. The question as to how the destitution in Ireland is to be alleviated, as it is the most importunate subject of the present Parliamentary session, has elicited an extraordinary number of propositions. Among these may be particularised Govern ment loans, railway measures, fever hospitals, the erec tion of fishery piers, extension of public works, owe ceteris ps►ribus. On Wednesday other plans were propounded by Mr. P. Scftors and seconded by Mr. CRANV • FORD. Altogether, the discussion consequent upon the introduction of these schemes was remarkable for its array of facts, and for the earnestness with which those facts were enforced and applied. The proposal of Mr. Senors amounted simply to the following That the guardians of the several poor-law unions in Ireland be re quired to relieve • with food all such destitute persons within their unions as may be in danger of perishing from want, or from disease the consequence of want ;" and upon this motion the Hon. Gentleman built up a farther recommendation, to the effect that the entire social fabric of Ireland should undergo an immediate transformation, by incorporating with the Irish institutions the system of compulsory charity, through the medium of which our English paupers have been fed during titnes of scarcity, or whenever they might be unable or incompetent to obtain employment. This pro position contains in itself the germs of a vast and daring system ; and, although we are desirous that permanent as well as temporary benefit to Ireland may redound from whatever enactments are passed during this session in behalf of that country, we cannot but feel with the Home Secretary, that it would have been advisable for the Hon. Member to have reserved it until the time appointed for the Noble Lord, the Member for the city of London, to introduce the question of Ireland and her various exi gencies in all its entirety. Until that moment arrives, it is scarcely advisable to retard the pro gress of those measures from which immediate assistance could be afforded to a starving and debilitated po pulation—it is, we say, scarcely advisable to retard those more necessary measures, by mooting questions of the most subtle complication and of the most gigantic character, when neither the Parliament nor the multitude are prepared for their reception. It is evident, however, from this very preci pitancy, as well as from the sagacious arguments adduced by Mr. P. ScnoPts, that the Hon. Member was induced to bring for ward his motion on Wednesday from sentiments of the deepest commiseration for Ireland and her unfortunate people ; nor do we despair for a moment of seeing some great and prac tical measure advanced when the right time comes! A. mea sure built out of the accumulation of the experience and wisdom among our legislators—a measure by which the Irish labourers may be henceforth protected from starva tion by having a readier access to employment and greater facility in the purchue of economical and nutritious food. According to the assertions of Mr. SCROPE, the eviction of tenantry is still carried on with all those adjuncts of wretchedness which have attracted the sympathy of the philanthropist for years past: this of itself would be sufficient to demand some official effort at alleviation ; but when it is remembered that it forms only one amidst a number of equally lamentable abuses, the necessity for some attempt at their eradication on the part of Government becomes doubly apparent. Nor can it possibly be a matter of a moment's question whether the men of authority should wrest assistance to the local destitute from those who are capable and (from their relative position) are bound in conscience to afford it, when that assistance does not flow forth spontaneously. Simultaneously with the formation of the grand measure by which the whole fabric of Ireland might be remodelled upon a firmer, more comprehensive, and more natural plan, the recom mendation of reclaiming and draining waste land should on no account whatever be overlooked or forgotten. Increase of health, increase of useful employment, and increase of profitable territory, would be the necessary and not unimportant consequence of such a clause. We cannot but feel satisfied, from the behaviour of Mr. P. SCROPE, Mr. CRAWFORD, and Mr. S. O'BRIEN, during the debate on Wednesday, that those Honourable Gentlemen will not allow the matter of destitution in Ireland to subside until some rational means be adopted by Parliament for its removal ; at the same time, however, m e cannot but acquiesce in the opinion uttered by Sir JAMES; GRAHAM, that it were advis able to delay the introduction of such comprehensive mo tions until after the evening stipulated by Lord JOHN Itus sam, for the thorough consideration of the actual condition and the positive wants of the Irish multitude. Madrid journals of the 11th have been received. No busi ness was done in the Cortex on that day, the anticipated change of Ministry, which we announced yesterday, having put a stop to all business. The Funds continued to decline. On the 11th the Three per Cents. closed at 29 3-18 at 30 days, and 29 for the 31st inst. The Fives were not quoted. In the French Chamber of Deputies on Tuesday the debate on the motion of M. REUVISAV was resumed, when M. THIERS Trade a long speech in support of the motion for excluding salaried Deputies from the Chamber as well as those who received pay from the civil list. The debate Wigan to excite some interest, not on account of the subject, but as a trial of strength between the Government and the Opposition. The dissolution of the Spanish Ministry is noticed in several of the papers, and they seem to agree in the opinion that the change has been brought about by NAIIVAIGZ, and that he will be called upon to form a new Cabinet. Minium DE LA Rosa had left Madrid before the downfal of the biIRAFLORES Cabinet, and arrived in Paris on Tuesday. These papers contain no later news from Poland. It appears from one of them that a diplomatic corn-, munication had been made by the Austrian, Prussian, and Russian Minister' t• M. GUIZOT, intimating a resolution come to by the three Powers to interfere in re-establishing order in Cracow, and declaring their intention to occupy the city and territory as long as may be re quired to suppress tha present spirit of the population. M. GUIZOT returned an answer, stating that the Cabinet of Louts Pnuarrn should make no abjection to this intervention. The answer was the subject of discus sion in the Council of Ministers. after a private audience granted by Louis PHILIPPE to Count n'Arrorer, the Aus trian Ambassador. A similar communication has been made to Lord ABUNDEIN by the representatives of the same three northern powers at London, but the answer of his Lordship had not transpired. Some of the journals yet entertain thc vain hope that the insurrection may yet succeed. "If the Polish insurrection bad been suppressed,' , says the Reforms; " the Northern Governments would have hastened to announce it with great pomp. If the insurrection was suppressed, the Austrians would not be obliged to send 40,000 men into Gallicia. If the insurrection had been suppressed, we should have bean told what had become of the insurrectionary columns, whose march is at tested by their bold action. We should have been told that one column was defeated on such a day, or that it had been compelled to lay down itaarms. The namea.of.the victorious generals would have been announced, and,. wa should have known the number of ♦ictims. The organizers of the mas sacres at Tarnow would not have scrupled to terrify the po pulation by sanguinary executions." _ _ Accounts had been received in Paris from Algiers, dated the 10th instant, according to which AIM-XL-KAMM had quitted the Kabyle country as soon as he heard of the ap proach of the troops under BUGBAUD. General CAVAIGNAC, according to. the .thbar journal, bad made a razzia, and took-7,030 head of cattle, One of the French prisoners who has had the good fortune to make his escape from the deim of Ann-IL-Kanin has furnished some information as to the comrades In captivity. They are in good spirits, but are fatigued by the long marches that they undergo. Those who remain in the rear from weakness or sickness are exe cuted by order of Boy ILuannz. iSix of our poor fellows have been already thus massacred by this ferocious Ka byle. The_same journal publishes the following proclama tion, addressed by ABIYEL-KADAR to the Arabs,— "Ohl ye Mullett!maul Shake off from year eye. the blindness into which you have been plauged by your commerce with the infi dels I Recognise their perfidy, of which you can judge by the follow ing facts :—When the French wished to seduce you to submit to them, they said—Become subject unto us, and we will guarantee to you your religion, your property, yoar women, and your children. We will lea►e you under the rule of your own chiefb. We will lot interfere with your customs, and we will respect your laws. We will only wateh that you may be justly governed, and that you do not become the victims of the exactions which weighed so heavily upon you when you were under your Sultan Abd-el-Kader. Tou believed their lying words, and submitted to the Christian. As soon as the impious man believed he had strength enough, and I had for a moment disappeared from among you, he hastened to ♦iolate all his promised. liie applied your mosques to profane uses. He took your best lands and gave them to his own people. Rehm purchased the virtue of your wemea. He has enrolled your children in his abominable cohorts. He has enfranchised the slaves which God had given. He has arrogated to himself the rights of justice. He, hes persecuted your most noble families. He has changed your chiefs, replacing them by infamous Mussulmans, who have sold themselves to him. Your nobles and your marabouts, who have been so insensate as to serve him with fidelity, have had for their reward en eternal prison in the country of the Christians. You are now commanded by Roumi, judged by lioumi, administered by Boum!. And to render his perfidious designs the more evident, he comes and reckons your warriors, your women, and your children, as the master counts the sheep which he wants to send to the market for sale. In epite of the mission I have received from God to fight against the Infidel, to the last drop of my blood, I have allowed him some repose. I have de parted from the theatre of war, because I was certain that the Chris tian would destroy himself by his own misdeeds. The day of your awaking is come ! Rise all at the sound of my voice! Oh, Mussul mans, God has placed in my hand his flaming sword, and we will go forth and fertilise the plains of our country with the blood of the Infidel !" On Monday Louis Pinurrie reviewed, in the court of the Tuilleries, four regiments of the line, one of dragoons, and one of hussars, with two batteries of artillery, forming the garri son of Paris and the banlieue. After riding along the lines, attended by the Duke de Nemours, the Prince de Joinville, the Duke de Montpensier, and the Duke of Wurtemberg . , his Majesty distributed numerous Crosses of the Legion of Honour to officers, non-commissioned officers, and soldiers, of the different corps, after which they filed off with the utmost precision.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS, (From The Sun of 'Last Night.) The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 4,000 bags, including 500 Americans on export. 1,500 Americans were sold on Tuesday, after the usual hours of business, for exportation. Prices were firm. Shares were dull, and lower. There are no later arrivals to-day, but the Indian over land mail seems to be expected. The memorial of Lieut. Waghorn, presented to the East India Company, and praying for the grant of a pension, has excited attention in the City. where it is deemed well en titled to the most favourable consideration.. Lieutenant Waghorn expresses himself somewhat bluntly in his memorial, but he evidently writes his thoughts without disguise, and tells all he thinks too. Some of the readers of the memorial think probably that there might have been lees frankness—but so think not we. It is characteristic of the man, and those who read the letter at once know him. We regret much to hear of that gentle man's having incurred heavy pecuniary liabilities on ac count of his overland experiments, which no remuneration he has received could be expected to cover. In fact, as far as private interest is concerned, Mr. Waghorn must have been a great lour by quitting his original profession, to say nothing of the barrage of mind, and constant unsettled state which the career he has since pursued, must necessarily have occasioned him. From the New Zealand Papers to November 22, we take the following account of the progress of the'colony " In last year's return, the quantity of land in cultivation. was given at 1,262 acres, of which 237 were in wheat. This season we have no doubt there will be over 2,000 acres, of which not less than 600 will be in wheat. 'raking 25 bushels to the acre (which is not at all too much to expect, consider ing what the crops were last year, and how much better they ought to be every year, as the land is better cleaned and worked), this will give us about 300 tons of flour. We be lieve our consumption is not above 200, so that we shall have 100 for exportation, which will go to pay, not our debts, for in Nelson we owe none, but fer various necessary imports which we shall receive in return. " Our potatoes also will probably form an article of export. Last year we had 288 acres. Probably the quantity will net be doubled this, as more - land will be put into wheat and barley in proportion to other crops. We have, however, more than enough for local consumption, and some probably will therefore be exported in the coming year. Of barley, last year, we bad 182 acres, and should have had much more, but when the sowing time arrived it was discoved that no seed was to be had, and potatoes, oats, and other crops were put in instead. This year there is seed enough ; and, as a second brewery is to be started at the be• ginning of the new year, there is every encourage ment for the agriculturists to grow a larger quantity, which we understand is being done. In 1843 our sheep amounted to only 1,180; last year they were 5,782; this year we ex pect they will not be leas than 10,000. Horned cattle last year were 918; allowing one-third for increase, they will be about 1.200 of this. Of minor stock, such as goats, pigs, and poultry, we can only say that, early in the spring as we yet are, fowls have been retailed at ls. 6d. a couple, eggs at 6d. a dozen, and pork, as usual, in the carcase, at about 2d. a pound."

Falmouth, having sailei from Rio Janeiro on,the ssth , 6f January, we hare advicee from Buenos Ayrei a the sth, and from Monte Vi deo of the 9th of Januaiy. All was tranquil at Buenos Ayres. The linos at Monte Video were garrisoned by tba 45th and 73d Regiments, whidt was considered satisfactory, seeing the discordant materials of which the inside party was composed. This would, no doubt, facilitate a change of policy, should such be determined upon by England And France. The Apollo troop-ship, which conveyed the 73d Regiment to Monte Video, was to leave for England about the 19th of January, no doubt to be sent back again in the same manner as the kesistance was, to convey those troops to their ori ginal destination. MONTE VIDEO, JAN. 6.—The staff of the 73d Regiment landed here on the 6th instant, and proceeded to their bar racks. It appears quite certain that this regiment and the 45th were ordered down on the authority of Mr. Hamilton, and, from the turn which things have taken here, they cer tainly serve as a protection to British interests from any eruption of the discordant elements of which the garrison of this town is composed. The appearance of the English ftag on the lines appears to have ceased great excitement in the outside party; but, taking as impartial view of this proceeding, in accordance with what we have above stated, we consider that their anger is uncalled for- No news from the Parana or Uruguay. EXTLACTS PROM THE ♦ENU•L MESSAGE OP THE EZESG- TIME TO THE CHAMBER. OF KEFIESINTATITES. Boxstos• AYRES, DEC. 27, 1845.—1 n my fernier message I informed you that the Commodore of the naval forces of her Britannic Majesty, Don John B. Purvie, had infringed the belligerent rights of the Argentine Confederation, in sulted its flag, given fresh life to its conquered enemies, and broken the neutrality declared by . her Majesty. These pro ceedings' and the arming of the foreigners in the city of Monte Video, have prolonged the calamities of the war which was on the point of terminating. But the Government has not lost its cenfidence that the Cabinet of her Britannic Majesty will be guided by the pacific spirit from which, in its official declarations, it has never departed ; and that by acts of justice and reparation it will redeem the character of her Majesty and of the. British 'nation for magnanimity and rectitude. In consequence of the refusal on the part of the naval forces of her Britannic Majesty and of his Majesty the King of the French to acknowledge the blockade of the ports of Monte Video and Maldonado, the Government closed the Argentine ports to vesseh proceeding from Monte Video, or which had touched there. The disavowal ot the blockade rendered that measure necessary and indispensable. The injury that may have resulted from it to the commer cial interests is attributable solely to the commanders of the British and French naval forces, and on them lies the whole responsibility of it, inasmuch as it was they who ' by their unjust infringement of the belligerent rights of the Republic, drew forth this legitimate act ot self-defence. Before the blockade of this province was instituted by the Ministers of England and France, the Government prohi bited all communication with the ships of war of those na tions. It would otherwise have been impossible to avoid disagreeable consequences, nor was the presence of their officers and crews in the Argentine territory compatible with its dignity and the national honour. You know, honourable representatives, that the armed in tervention of France and England cannot be reconciled with the declaration in Parliament of the Prime Minister of her Britannic Majesty, who stated that no such right existed in the law Gf nations, nor with that of the Minister for Foreign Affairs of his Majesty the King of the French, who declared that he never for one moment entertained the idea of interfering in the internal affairs of the Con federation. The Government met the inflexibility of the Ministers of England and France with a sincere spirit of conciliation, and with unvarying moderation of conduct. It accepted with cordiality a private and confidential invitation from the Charg6 d'Affairss of France to point out some plan which might lead to the re-establishment of peace ; and presented to him one which conciliated the honour and interests •f England, of France, and of the Confederation. The Minis. ters rejected it, reiterating their unjust demands. Upon them weighs the responsibility of a state of things afflicting to humanity, derogatory to the rights of the two republics (the Oriental and Argentine), destructive to com • ,nerce, and alarming for the American States. The Confederation in all its cities and districts is firmly prepared to sustain the national liberty and honour. The Government is resolved to defend the Argentine territory and the independence of its flag. With the exception of this defensive attitude it has not adopted any hostile measure, nor ordered reprisals against the Governments of France and Great Britain, or their subjects. It perseveres in protecting the persons and properties of the latter, and in justifying the confidence which civilised Governments place in its assurances and public engagements. Whatever may be their resolution, the Government of this Republic congratulates itself upon having respected international conveniences, and the benefi cent precepts of The Government has seen with pleasure the re-establish ment of the internal peace and the consolidation of the in tegrity of the empire. The Imperial arms have procured for his Majesty and for Brazil the fruits of their fidelity, and their illustrious victories. The complete triumph, also, of the victorious army of the Orientals and Argen tines has deprived the rebellion of the incentive which pro lo.iged it. The Oriental Republic, aided by the Confederation, glo riously defends its independence and the legal authority. Ths fatal Rivera has disappeared from its free territory, in consequence of the memorable victory of the Oriental and Argentine arms. The General Legislative Assembly of the Oriental people, presiding over its heroic defence, has passed important messnres which do it great honour. The illus trious President, Brigadier Don Manuel Oribe, fortified by the confidence of the country aid its representatives, sus tains its dignity and independence with his well-known valour and sagacity. The French and English naval forces, united with a horde of Italian adventurers, have carried to the coasts of the Oriental state desolation, pillage, and slaughter. The Orientals continue a valiant resistance, and show that their country is unconquerable. The ✓ Republic of the Uruguay, its illustrious chambers, and its legal Government are worthy, honourable representatives, of the high esteem of the Argentine Confederation. America, and the rest of the nations of the world, behold them, crowned with glory, defending their laws, their independence, their deafest rights, and their honour. The Argentine Government has not faltered before the menaces of superior force, in its obedience to the call of duty, honour, and safety. The abandonment of so faithful and brave an ally, and of its own political independence, would have degraded the Confederation for ever. The natives will look with interest towards the heroic Oriental republic, which, in defending its own independence, upholds the common principle of liberty for all. • • • • • • JUAN MANUEL DE ROSAS.

MANCHESTER, MARCH 17.—There is no improventent this week in the demand for goods or yarn ; and though prices are on the whole tolerably well supported, the gradually in creasing stecks in the hands of spinners and manufacturers induce sales, in some cases, at lower and rather irregular prices. ROCHDALE MARCH 16.—This has been one of the worst markets we h ave had for a long time • few pieces have been sold, and those at a low rate. Woo l as been in much the same demand as last Monday. Limns, MALCII 17.—Although no actual improvement has taken place as yet in our markets, a rather better feelin4 may be said to gain ground; and the general opinion is, that we have seen the worst of the reigning stagnation, and that a livelier business time is close at hand. Prices are, upon the whole, better maintained, and wool is very steady, and even a shade higher for some descriptions. HUDDERSFIELD. MARCH 17.—We have had several buyers from London, and for the American trade, and consequeutly greater activity was raanifested in our Cloth-hall. The Cambria has brought orders to a considerable extent, some of which will require two or three months to complete.

Various petitions having been presented, Lord lc,INNAino gave notic e o f a motion for Thursday on the subject Of railways, Lord BeoliGnAla complained of the conduct of Mr. GUN. , eaoze in refusing to produce before a committee of their the l or d s hips certain documents relating to conduct of the Poor-law Commissioners. He thought that no public body like the Poor - law C ommissioners were justified in refusing to produce papers. The subject then dropped. The presentation of a petition, complaining of the substi tution by the London and York Railway. Company of dd contract -deed for the one before the Rouse last year, gave rise to a lengthened conversation, which led t o no result. Viscount CANNnto moved the second reading of the Metro politan Buildings Bill. V ar i ou s amendments were now under consideration, and it would hereafter be his duty t o submit them teir Lordships in another Bill. The present. mean was intended to remedy the deficiency of the present law, so far as it related to the jurisdiction of the registrars and referees. The object was to appoint an additional re feree in addition to the two already appointed, so as always to secure that the decision of the board of referees should take place by a majority, and that thus the registrar should be relieved of the responsibility of being called on to give a decision on questions about which he could have no know ledge. This appointment would not involve any increase of expense to the public, but the referees were to be permitted to practise in their private capacity as surveyors ; and, in. case they should have to refer their own works to the board the Commissioners of Woods and Forests were empowered to appoint temporary . referees, to which such cases might be re ferred. The salaries of these officers were to be paid out of the consolidated fund, and the treasurers of counties were to contribute to that fund their respective quotas.

THE DANGER OP READING IN BED. Yesterday morning, betvreen twelve and one o'clock, the family of Mr. Lafon taine, of Alontagu-Street, Bryanstone-square, were alarmed by loud shrieks proceeding from the beed-room of Mies Jane Lafontaine, who slept en the second floor. On proceeding to ascertain the cause, it WAS found that the bed and bedding were in flames, as well as the night-dress of Miss Lafontaine, who was severely burnt before the fire could be extinguished so much so that her recovery is extremely doubtful. It seems that Miss Lafontaine was in the habit of read ing in bed, and In this instance, falling asleep, the candle ignited the bed thrtiiture, the heat and flame fortunately awaking Miss Lafontaine, or otherwise the consequences would have been dreadful. THE RECENT FIRE ON LVDGATE.HILL. — The inquiry into the cattle of the late fire open the premises of Mr. Carlin, tobac conist, Ludgate-street, Ladgate-hill, was resumed and conclude I ea. Wednesday afternoon, at the Goose and Gridiron, St. Paul's Church yard, before the deputy-coroner, Mr. Joseph J'ayae. The jury re turned the following verdict :—" We have reason to believe that the fire was accidental, although there is not sufficient evidence before us to show the precise manner in which it originated." After the ver dict bad been agreed to, the jury, by resolution, expressed their thanks to the firemen and others engaged in extinguishing the fire, on the ground that "if it had been allowed to rage ten minutes longer, it would molt probably have been attended with loss of life and a much greater sacrifice of property." • CIIELSZA AND GREENWICH PENSIONERS.—By the BPI now before Parliament for amending the Act for rendering effec tive the services of the Chelsea out-pensioners , and extending it to the out-pensioners of Greenwich Hospital (which 13111, as amended, was yesterday printed), it is proposed that the Act 6 and 7 Victoria, sec. 95, tor the enrelm en t of Chelsea pensioners, shall extend to Green wich pensioners wh o ma y have served in the Royal Matinee in like manner as if they were out-pensioners of Chelsea Hospital; and that the whole number of pensioners of both hospitals to be enrolled in the United Kingdom is net to exceed MON men, and that the days of inspection or exercise shall not exceed 12 In one year. In the event of any of the eut-pensioners of Greenwich Hospitalro enrolled velun teering their ser v i ces t o b e kept on d u ty and pay for any period not exceeding six months, they shall only be employed within lb, United Kingdom, or along the sea costs thereof. The Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland may call out the Irish pensioners to aid the civil power in the preservation of the public peace. The Motto to Miss Pardoe's " Cunfessions of a Pretty Woman," gives an admirable epitome of her heroine's career : " At sixteen she came out; presented, vaunted, She put all coronets into commotion ; At seventeen, too, the world was still enchanted, With the new Venus of their brilliant ocean ; At eighteen, though below her feet still panted A hecatomb of suitors with devotion, She hod consented to create That Itclata men: ENLARGEMENT OF THE HOME PARE, WINDSOR.. The new royal gardens at Frogmore (extending over between 20 and 30 acres), having now arrived at a high state of cultivation, it has been determined by her Majesty's Commissioners of Woods and Forests to considerably and to the size of the Home Park, by throwing into that portion •f the royal domain at Windsor as extensive piece ofgrouud. half a mile in length and of considerable width, known as the Macs tricht gardens, in which were formerly produced large quantities of wall fruit and vegetables of various kinds ter the supply of the royal table. These extensive gardens, which run parallel with the Mamas, at the western extremity of the Home Park, contain some of the finest descriptions of peach, nectarine, and apricot treed, many of which, it is feared, on account of their age, it will be impeseible to remove with safety. The well which separates the Maeatricht gardens from the park is upwards of ten feet high, and to new in course of being taken down. METROPOLITAN IMPROvEIfENTS.—New Oxford-street is now fast approaching completion, and it is expected that the , road way ►ill shortly be thrown open for the passage of vehicles. The whole of the buildings having an arehiteetural frontage present a most pleasing appearance, particularly when viewed from the end Of Tottenham-court-road. A still further improvement is about being effected in this locality, the whole of the houses fronting St. Giles's Church having been demolished preparatory to the erection of a handsome crescent on their site. OXFoND AND CAMBRIDGE BOAT-RAGS.—The public will be gratified to learn that an eight-eared-cutter race is about to take place between the gentlemen of the Universities of Oxtbrd and Cambridge. Some very fine men have been selected • from the dif ferent boats' crews, and a spirit-stirring struggle may be antici pated. Tke Cantabs have, it is said, slightly the preference at pre sent. The day announced for the match is April 3, and the distance to be contested from Putney-bridge to Mortlake church. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER.—On Woduesdity morning, between eight and nine o'clock, the following fktal and dis tressing accident occurred on the river, by which a fine young man, named George Brown, a bargeman, was drowned, under the follow ing circumstanoes:—lt appears that Brown, And a man named King- Ston, were bringing a barge down the river, for the purpooo of getting It loaded with coals in the Pool, and about the time above-mentione4. being off Fulham, Brown, who had beau rowing, will in the set Of walking along the gunwale of the barge towards her stern when he fell into the river. Kingston immediately tried to rescue him by throwing a boat-hook to him, but the unfortunate man, with his struggles for life, missed his grasp and sunk. King.ton stopped hits barge as soon as possible, and, having procured some drags, en deavoured to find the body of his unfortunate mat*, but after dpsgighkg for some time he could not inset with any sued. AQUI pertitii were sober at the time.

Yesterday a Court was held for the dispatch of public business. THE GIFT OF LIVERY CLOTH TO THE OFFICERS OF STATE, &C. Mr. ANDERTON rose to proaose the eonsioers,lot, the report ei the reference rrl- , ,V Ye to the eiv“oin ef giving livery cloth to the M‘ni-t.rs Stsie. end otters. The report, be said, was a very ex. raw. Nary one, and althotr,;h the ,-utt, expended ot, the are sents to the officers of State and the Judges annually was inconsiderable. he theught that. e co nomy a s we ll a ., good sense was involved in the motion to get rid ot the old practice altOgether. He here read xtracts from th . labours of the City officers amongst the record-, to show that the. Court of Aldermen had been in the regulsr habit, for upwards of a century, of appellee's , . a com mittee annuelly to inspect and sel• ct the quelity. OT h sent to the Great Officers ot State, Judge-, and others. and that the parties to whom the cloth was delivered were the Lord Chancellor, the Lord Chief Justice, the Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, the Master of the Rolls, the Chief Baron, the Chamberlain ot the House hold, the Vice-Charob , rlain of the Household, the Trea surer of the Household, the Comptroller of the House hold, the Lord Steward of the Househeld, the Seer'- ary of State for the Home Department, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, the Attorney Gen , ral, the Selici rota General, the Recorder, the Common Sergeant. The quantity of cloth delivered to each was, as appeared from the report, four yards and a quarter. It appeared also by the books that a number of city (dicers were in 1725 granted livery cloth, and that subs ,, quently the presents of the city officers were greatly liinited. The report concluded by stating that the cost for p-ovidine livery cloth amounted upon the average of the last seven years to 1371. 14s. Id., and that the committee hound by the documentary evidence that the granting livery cloth to the Ministers of State, and the great officers, mei others was a custom of long standing and antiquity, stud Shatethe ordering and manitSement of -the - same - had been in the Court of Aldermen. A Mnstese.l-44 it the fact that the great Ministers of State put on the livery of the Corporation ?—(Laughter ) Mr. ANDERTON said that no doubt the dignified people of whom they were spt eking handed over the cloth to their butlers, so that the affair had lust all the character of being complimentary. It was his intention to move that the report be agreed to, and that it he re commended to the Court of Aldermen to discontinue the practice. The motion having been seconded, - The RECORDER suggested that it might be injurious in the Court to interfere with a regulation which essen tially involved an interchange of civilities.—(Hear.) If the Court abandoned the custom, it might be a ques tion to what extent the ancient casein's of much greater importance might be violated. He did not of course look to the value of the perquisite. It was to the prin ciple he looked solely, and he thought it would not be wise to cast it „ff.—(Hear.) Mr. ANDERTON said that if her Majesty's Ministers would not like to part with the four yards and a quarter of cloth of the Corporation livery without compensation he had no doubt that the Court would willingly listen to any application of the kind. Mr. STEVENS said the officers of the Corporation certainly' ought never to have received such a perquisite, but he thought the compliment from the Corporation to the officers of State should be continued without check or diminution. There was an interchange of civilities, which had been very properly observed ; and if the City presented the officers of State with four yards and a half of cloth each, the Lord Mayor rec , ived at least the value of the commodity in venison and other article-, upon the merits of which the citizens were very capable of deciding.—(A laugh, and cries of " Hear, hear.") The observance of the custom was calculated to promote a kindly feeling, without having the least resemblance to a bribe ; and he hoped the Court would sot hesitate re show that the, had a proper respect for a good hospit able old practice. Mr. KING thsught that the recommendation to con tinuing expense came very odrily - froni . the lip, of sy out-and-out a reortner and economist as Mr. S,evene— (A laugh.) He begged the Court to e• nsi , b r then it would not be advisable to seed the subject at once to t!- - , Court of Aldermen, who w , ul,l know how to de-it wilt it, as they had the power, and to proceed to the long lis. of business bef,re the Court. The motion was then agreed to. PENSIONS TO THE WIDOWS AND FAMILIES OF ALDER MEN, &C. Mr. ALDERTON next mused that the report on the references relative to the Court of Aldermen d awing 01, the Chamber fir pensions und otherwise b ink -it info consideration. The report recommended that an act 01 Common Courcil should be passed to prevent the appro priation of the funds of the Corporation by the Court of Aidermen to the ben, fit of the fentilit s of deceased Aldermen, who . had no well-grounded claims upon their fellow citizens. He instanced the cases of several persons who hail attained the station o Aldermen, and had never rendered any service. or cen tributed in the slightest degree to the honour of the Corporation, but whose families, notwithstanding their worthlessness, had enjoyed for many years the bounty showered down with a liberal hand by the Court of Al dermen. He condemned the immeasurable expenditure contemplated by the Court of Aldermen in the construc tion of a new pri on, and represented, that although he did not mean to interfere with the privi!eges of that Court, he believed it to be absolute!) trecesst.ry to op pose the strong dispo-ition which exist. d to be extrava gent in outlays which inflicted no tax upon the resources ot the members themselves.—(l-loar, hear.) The RECORDER said it was quite evident that the Al derinen had, by law, as magistrates, the power a- to the construction of gaols withi their jurisdiction. After some discussion the report was agreed to ; and it was referred to the Coal, Cern, and Finance Committee to prepare a 13.11 accordingly. A discussion took place upon the recommendation of the City of Loudon Commatee, that an oaken their should be made for Guilehaa of the value of 1,6141., hut the report was negatived. STATE OF THE CITY FINANCES. Mr. PRIOR (the Chairman of the Coal, Corn, and Finance Committee) brought up the report of the state of the finances at the close of the last year. The following are the observations upon the points deemed more particularly deserving of notice. " The income of the Corporation during the past year exhibits a considerable increase, which we fled principally under the head of coat duty, upon which there is a large in crease upon the year as compared with preceding years. This into a great extent accounted for by the deficient importation of the three years immediately preceding, and more particularly the year 1844, which exhibited a diminution of 4 0001. We further notice the fact of duty having in this last year been paid for the first time to any extent upon coals brought by railway conveyance. The arrangements respecting the collection and payment of the various duties upon coals brought by railway conveyance, have not at pros, at been settled to the satisfaction of your Committee. Upon this subject a report will shortly be pres. Med to the Court. We merely beg, on the present occasion, to express a hope that matters may speedily be- pl ,ced upon such a tooting as shall obviate the necessity of ao ap t li cation to the Government, which we shall feel it oth.-r -wise incumbent upeu us t ,ke, as the Government are now interested in a greaser degree than the Col-nor:ado(' in the produce of such dutir:s. Ou the expendit:tre site of the account for the past year ,here appeers lilsewis a considerable increase, which i, is ne ieisary satisfsetortla to account for, arid the Comm-gee har• pleasure in stating that the whole of such sidd.tionel expenditure his been applied in furthering objects of great public waits. There has been contributed b the Corporation, as usual, towards the funds for effecting the iinprevements now in progress in various parts of the metropais, the sue, , f 11,5001 ; in addition to which there has been applied out of thP City .coel duties, towards effecting leapt ove ments projected, the stun of 15.250/. ; and to wares the Holborn-bridge New street Improve ment,' the amount of the street tolls, viz : 4,8461. ss. 9d.; . making altogether a sum of 31,596/ ss. 9d. Under the head of magistracy exp. nses, we find a,r in crease of about '2,000/. upon the year, occasioned chiefly by extensive alterations at - the justice room, Guildhall and an increase of about 300/. in the expenses of re moral of Scotch and Irish paupers. The prise n exp aises exhibited an increase of about 2,000/. expended in alterations at Gilispur-street Compter, and House of Correction Us& r the head of Coeservsney of the Thames, there appeared•an increased expendi are ..fno less a sum that, 7,000/., which we find can be satisfactorily accounted for, having been applied tor the benefit ef ememerce, amid for the public frequenting that river for pleasure or otherwise ; the excess of expendituce being occasion-el by the raising and clearing away of wrecks and yes- el obstructing the navigation of the river, tke ereetion of the pier for the landing and embarking of passengere by steam boats at Blackfriars bri I .ge, and in payment made on account ef the works ter, in progress for re moving the dangerous rock called the Whitiug Shoal, near Limehouse. In addition to the above items of extra expenditure, there ha- been peal off to the course of the year, 10,0001., the b-dare•is rernain , ng of the moneys borrowed for the purpose of re m ovi n g Fleet-market and the formation 01 Farrineelon. street, There has also been applied in the purchase of the ground and buildings of the late Fleet Prison, and in the re demption of the land-tax thereon, the sum of 26,8821, 17. lid. This sum, however, unlike th amounts kr A wt3 • referred to, has not been peid - nut of the titeOtue, out has been provid d for as nearly RA reaeobte b y the sale of stock applicable to sash - a pueeose, and by the ( les posal of the building aluterials. The report ends with eongratulatine the Court upon the satisfactory condition of the Corporate r evenues, acid upon the fact that inereitaing income had not induced lavish or unnecessary iROM4Se of expenditure, and that the surplus revenue had been, as the Committee trusted it Oyer would be, applied for the benefit of the City and the publlosat large. - Mr. PRIOR said it was unnecessary for him to at tempt to add anything to the statement of a report of so highly satisfactory a nature. lie should merely move that it be adopted and printed in the minutes of the Court, the motion was unanimously agreed to.
