Mr. and Mrs. GERRARD appear not to be satisfied with the unenviable notoriety they have already at tained, but to desire that an additional portion of public indignation should be visited on them in another and different capacity from that in which they have already figured. It appears that they lately 'summoned no less than thirty of their poorer neighbours, who ; fortunately for themselves, were the tenants of an other, and it is to be hoped more considerate land lord, for a malicious trespass, an offence which, in Ireland, is deservedly visited with penalties far more severe than those with which an ordi '"rY trespass is punishable. On the investigation it appeared in ev id ence t h at these poor persons occup i e d hose o''fg lands, and that their cattle had strayed into Mr. and Mrs G proved that dary—that w here i ERR al, IRD ; for the defence, it was not su ffi cient quite insufficient tot t meting, or boun be driven over it—that it was fondants had requ„t2 out a ny beast --and that the de making on e , The statement has been aboeyeplaintitTs to join them in made by a respectable contem maa r s jarY, the _Roscommon (the Honourable Journal, which adds the With no Mr. FRENCH', R.M.) dismissed t h e might the small degree of indignation. Andejmultilaint man must worthy magistrate pour forth, in the warmeYstzat honest disgust with which every right-minded rnust view such a vexatious course, such an attemp t to op preis the poorer and more unprotected class of our Irish brethren. Can it be wondered at if, after fito such exhibitions in one vicinity, the county T TlfiE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY MORNING, MAY 4 9 i 846. • should be disturbed, outrages should be rife, and that the ordinary operation of the laws should be found in sufficient for their suppression, and to restore peace to , the district ? Where the law, in place of being found a protection for the well-disposed and industrious peasant, is turned, or rather attempted to be turned (for hap pily, in the present instance, the attempt was unsuc cessful) into an instrument for his oppression, a net within the meshes of which he is sought to be entangled he soon comes to look at it as unjust and partial in its operation, to be made:for, and accessible to, the rich man alone, that under it he may be unjustly pu nished, or in vain seek redress for injuries inflicted, he habituals seeks law-breaker ma e ns for it h s a r s s io protects Sympathy him;with whenthe sel e t v ea n nd and by which justice may be pursued steadily refuses to a fford even the slightest in formationvindicated, through the petty tyranny of a few heart less and oppressive mem bers of the higher class a high minded and generous people come to be stigmatised as the eiders and abettors of crimes, the supporters of the blood- stained assassin, of the midnight disturber of k the peace. This is, indeed, a lamentable state of things ; and if it is desired to be amended, the force of public opinion must be brought strongly to bear upon the per petrators of such actions—the real delinquents—who are morally responsible for the deplorable results too likely to be the consequences of their reckless proceedings. Well might the Premier exclaim that he finds it impossible to control the power of the landlords, and addressing them emphati cally, say—" You rely too much for the amelioration of your social condition upon the executive Government. You rely too much upon the Government passing laws to effect what yourselves should accomplish. My firm belief is, that you yourselves have it in your power to apply a remedy. By pursuing a course adapted to meet the requirements of the dis,rganised state of society which prevails, you would be able to effect more than could ever be done by legislation. This would do all that any Government could accomplish This is indeed the truth; a generous combination should exist amongst the landowners to effect the greatest pos sible amount of good amongst those who are dependent on them, who look up to them for protection and guid ance, whose temporal welfare is placed in their hands ; let them recollect that they are but the stewards of a higher power for the distribution of the gifts entrusted to them. Let them consider their first duty, which will also be the highest pleasure, the greatest delight of every one capable of appreciating the luxury of doing good—to be the amelioration of their tenantry—the im provement of their condition—their advancement in the social scale ; let them see that the blessings of education are placed within the reach of the rising generation ; let them see that no rack rent is extorted from the ne cessities of the heads of the families, that they shall be per mittedto retain their little tenements at such a fair and mo derate rent, as while, on the one hand, it affords a fair re turn to the proprietor of the soil for the capital invested in its purchase, they, on the other hand, may be enabled by the exercise of industry and jealous attention to the improvements and cultivation of the soil, to acquire some degree of, and taste for, the comforts of civilised life ; let them look for the possession of a better class of cottage, and a diet something better than that which is afforded to their pigs ; convince them that these results are sure to follow increased exertion on their part, that good conduct and character will most assuredly obtain its reward ; above all, satisfy them that there is no possibility of their being driven from the possession of the little spots where they were born, and which are endeared to them by a thousand associations and re miniscences, which are more highly prized and valued, no matter how barren they may be, than every other, no matter how highly endowed by nature and cultiva. tion—satisfy them that the improvements which they have effected by the sweat of their brows may not, by attracting the avaricious eyes of a heartless agent, or needy proprietor, be the real cause of their cxpul- and consequent misery and destitution, and you apply a motive which, in ninety-nine cases in one hun dred, will be effectual, and productive of all that can be wished for or required at t h,ir hands. But to effect this the landlerd must be patitnt and persevering ; he must not suppose that a few !shun months will take away the distrust necessarily engendered by ages of op pression and exaction, during which a different line of conduct was adopted and acted upon. He must consider their ignorance, their prejudico3, and, by a kindly dis- position on his part, wean them by degrees from practices to which they will cling with a greater fidelity if at tempted to be subdued by too rude a shock. Con- -time them that the first, the primary object, is their own welfare and benefit, and in a short time cold distrust will give way to confidence, hatred and dislike to esteem and respect ; a kindly feel ing and relationship will spring up between them, out- rage will be unknown, peace and prosperity will take the place of riot and destitution. Confidence in the law, under which they prosper and are protected, will be re established. Murder will no longer stalk through the land without an effort being made for its suppression, with a sort of tacit encouragement of the peasantry ; there will be no necessity for Coercion Acts or Bills restrictive of the liberty of the subject. Every man will support the law under which he enjoys the blessings then more keenly felt from the contrast they exhibit to his former oppression, and Ireland will indeed be a land of happiness and prosperity. This must spring from the landlords themselves; but much may also be effected by good legislation. Take away all well-grounded causes of complaint, remove the pressure of unequal laws, above all, extend through the entire nation the existence of the - Ulster tenant right. Let no man be removed from land without receiving a fair compensation for the improvements which he has effected, and let no landlord have the power of clearing his estates to gratify some petty whim or some vindictive feeling. Let the occupier be entitled to retain the possession of land, so long as he shall be satisfied to pay his landlord the fair value, to be assessed by a jury of his neighbours. Many other mea. sures might be mentioned, but let the proprietors of the soil once see that Parliament is in earnest, that they will not be suffered to play such fantastic tricks as they have hitherto exhibited—let a beginning of legislation once take place, and it will effect much, and perhaps obviate the necessity of a further interference with what is termed the rights of property. The vexatious opposition occasionally made by a mi nority in the House of Commons, the resistance to use ful measures contrived by parties of the most opposite political principles, combined chiefly to throw business into confusion, and the injury caused to the public ser vice by explanations often required by a popular assem bly, with other drawbacks, which it is needless to enu merate, have made, not the despotic rulers of the continent only, but many of the inhabitants of the United Kingdom doubt the policy of. constitutional go vernment, and prefer a violent stretch of power on the art of the executive to the established laws and principles of the constitution. A little refection, however, soon dispels the doubts of such waverers. There is an inherent vital quality in such a work as the British Constitution, which in time corrects the evils complained o f.

The Magistrate and exp e c a d t f r o o n m e the kingdom;as at de thronedan- other tried, been other tried, convicted, and executed as a great state criminal. Th e C onst i tution has been in vaded by a v i olent and unwarrantable creation of Peers, mock representatives of the 1 peop ebe en forced by the Minister of the day into the Lower House, and rotten boroughs, an d bribery, and led the corruption of Members, regard e d b y unprincipled fact t atesmen as the best means of ruling a p eople. have approached almost to th e very brinksoomfe absolute government of b them lovesolute government ; but the spirit o f t h e people, the freedom inherent in the Anglo-S axon race, anclhoef genius of the Constitution, have surmou n t e d all obstacles. When a part of the machinery has becom e d efective, the executive, with all the army and na v y, and the vast numbers that always cling to the powers that be, have been able for a time to prevent the necessary re pairs, but in no one instance have they finally prevailed. The people have asserted their rights, and never was this vis vivida of the Constitution so active, or produc tive of such effects, as during the present age. Some ten great measures, opposed by the Government at every stage, repeatedly rejected by both Commons and Lords, and denounced as ruinous by the most powerful party in the state—that party long accustomed to office and all the secret tricks of government, and sup ported by the whole Church—have been triumph antly carried within the last twenty or thirty years, by the untiring energy and courage of the people. The Constitution still remains not only entire, but greatly improved, and the machine goes on with a vigour and a steadiness unknown at any former period. These very interruptions, caused by the minority of a popular assembly, are of themselves great preservatives, because they convince a people divided in their opinions, a L is always the case, that a tyrant majority cannot have everything its own way, that even a small propor tion of the community can compel the rest, at least, to listen to thorn , and refute or admit their reasons; and his very power only the more attaches them to a system which gives even the weaker party a large share of influence and authority. Despotism is not acknow ledged, not even known in the British Consti tution. All have a share in its advantages, more or less: the voice of the unrepresented must be listened to like that of the represented; they have a stake in the property as well as the rest, because they know that only a little more industry, in many instances, will place them on a footing of equality, in regard to political privileges, with the more wealthy. For these reasons the prosp er ity o f E ng l an d i ncreases every day, and tnrows even the most thriving (and that is not saying much) absolute states entirely into the shade. The power of those states is all external, all on the surface. They have vast armies, guns, and bayonets, and fortresses, and every instrument of what is considered essential to strergh, in countless numbers, but when they are put to the test of experi ence, they crumble to pieces, without the aid of the people, like a baseless fabric. Witness the successive downfal of Austria, and Prussia, and Russia, before the armies of France. The last was only saved from utter destruction by the hatred excited among a superstitious people by the excesses of the invaders. And what was the attitude of England during this awful destruction of armies, thrones, and dynasties ? She remained amidst the general havoc conscious of her strength, would yield nothing to . the conqueror, and finally prevailed. Her free Constitution saved her from destruction, because that encouraged commerce and trade, which furnished the sinews of war, and gave every man an interest in preserving the in tegrity of the empire. If there can be any doubt of the fact, it is only necessary to refer for a moment to the history, and mare especially the commercial history, of representative countries. The free spirit which animated the Dutch in their immortal wars against the Spaniards afterwards made Holland one of the first commercial and naval powers in the world. What else raised Venice and Genoa and other Italian free states to their high pre-eminence ? Even Switzerland, shut out from the ocean, and surrounded by jealous and unaccomodating neighbours, surpasses the nations around her in the activity and industry of her inhabitants, and can undersell most of them in foreign markets. It is needless to refer more particularly to England and the United States, except simply to ask what absolute Government at all ap proaches them in the vast extent of their commercial transactions, the means of acquiring wealth, and all the great elements of power. These are sufficient rea sons to make us bear patiently with the occasional ob stacles thrown in the way of necessary legislation, and to view with unabated veneration a constitution which has worked for two hundred years so well, and only acquires additional strength in its progress. We have received the Paris papers of Thursday. With the exception of two articles on Spain--the one in the Vational, Willa we have given entire, and the other in the Constitutionnel, of which we have given the substance in another part of the paper —these papers contain scarcely anything of interest. On Wednesday the Chamber of Depu ties fixed the business for the remainder of the session, Among the dropped measures are the Trans-Atlantic Packet Bill, and the Postage Reform Bill. Several of the clauses of the 'Western Railway Bill were adopted on Wednesday. No division, however, on the - vrhole Bill had taken place when the post left. The principle of the law, however, as far as the line to Caen was concerned, had been adopted, and its , oncession to the Company of MM. BRETEUIL and E. BLOUNT authorised. The reception at the Tuileries, in observance of the KING'S fete, commenced on Thursfiaj: Duke AUGUSTUS of Saxe Coburg arrived in Paris on Wednesday. Innmum PACHA was visiting all the public institution. At twelve o'clock on Wednesday he received, at the Palace of the Elysee-Bourbon, the officers of the garrison of Paris,w b o were presented to him by the Minister-of-War, by General SEBASTIANA, commaaing the first military division, and by General AtancK, com mander of the garrison. His Highness subsequently visited the column in the Place Vendome, the triumphal arch of the Etoile, and the Pantheon. The Semaphore de Marseilles publishes intelligence from Algeria of the 27th ult. The Moorish population along the frontier was in a state of permanent revolt, and the environs of Tlemcen were infested by bands of marauders, who often exchanged shots with the French patrols. The intrenched camp at Lelia ➢laghrina was almost uninterruptedly block aded, and the garrison had lately been obliged to effect a sortie to repel a large body of Moors who had arrived there from the neighbourhood of Ouchda. The intelligence from Portugal, received rid England, and a report that Madrid had been declared in a state of siege, depressed the Paris market on Thursday. We find the following under the date Breslau, 21st April in the German Universal Gazette :—" The nobles who had taken refuge in the Carpathian Mountains are again show ing themselves, since they have found that the peasantry are turning their arms against the Government. DEMBROWSKI ex-secretary of the revolutionary Government of Cracow, is' the chief of the movement. He was at Cracow on Good Friday. His party is re-assembling. SZELA offered him the post of Commander-in-Chief, but he refused it, because SZELA pos sesses entirely the confidence of the peasants. Many of the nobles have been appointed officers. Many a Polish refugee in Germany is no doubt anxious to return to his country. Several of the merchants of Limberg have become bar.krupt. The Russians are establishing magazines on the frontier, and seem watching the course of events.

Useful, without being ostentatious, based On sure principles, and supported by all the mercantile and banking interests of the kingdom, this Association ranks among the highest, and when we see the President of the Board of Trade taking the chair, and such a list of stewards supporting him, we feel satisfied that any eulogium on our part would be unnecessary. Our co lumns have often reported the growing prosperity of this Association, and we shall be much disappointed if the results of Wednesday do not far exceed those of last year. The Association has our best wishes. Accounts from Madrid to the 24th ult. have been re ceived. With regard to the movement in Galicia the Ga zette publishes the following official bulletin : " Home Department of the Peninsula. " The news received to-day from Galicia supplies no in formation beyond that we gave yesterday. In the other provinces there is perfect tranquillity." It is evident from this bulletin that the QUEEN'S troops have not gained the slightest advantage, for, had such been the case, the authorities would have been but too glad to pro claim it. Information from Galicia to the 18th represents the insurgents as in possession of the whole line of coast from Cape Finisterre to the frontier of Portugal, and as oc cupying Vigo, Pontevedra, and Tuy. Tuy, which is situ ated in the Minho, is a regularly fortified place, with a strong citadel. General BALnoA has been dismissed from the Captain- Generalship of Burgos, for having issued the ferocious procla mation which we gave yesterday. General Don JOACIUDi BAYONA has been appointed in his place. General BRETON has been reprimanded for the severe bando he issued at Barcelona, and has been admonished to confine himself henceforth Strictly to the execution of his duty. El Eco says that a conspiracy has been discovered in CHARITABLE TRUSTS BILL. LEGALIZATION OF THE JESUITS. A meeting of the members and friends of the National Club was on Saturday held at Willis's Rooms, King-street, St. James's, for the purpose of considering the Charitable Trusts Bill, and other measures now before Parliament, tending to the advancement of Popery, and the public recognition of the Papal power and superstitions. The meeting was numerously attended. The chair was taken at 12 o'clock precisely by Lord KENYON, who briefly stated the objects of the meet ing, and called attention to the importance of the subjects they were met to discuss. The meeting was addressed by Sir Brooke W. Brydges, Bart., the Rev. Mortimer O'Sullivan, Rey. Robert M'Ghee, Sir Digby Macintosh, Bart., R. Baxter, Esq., Rey. Dr. Bibee, and Mr. Spooner, M.P. Resolutions were proposed, and carried unanimously, con demnatory of the recent endowment to Maynooth, the Chari table Trusts and other Bills now before Parliament, for re laxing the Act of Supremacy and permitting the publication of Popish bulls, the exhibition of Romish ceremonies, en• couraging the order of the Jesuits, and other things tending, as was stated, to the subversion of the Protestant constitution. Another resolution, inviting zealous co-operation in the great object of maintaining the Protestant Church and con stitution and raising the social and religious condition of the people, was passed The thanks of the meeting were then given to the Noble Chairman, and the meeting broke up. Murcia; several arrests had taken place, and some officers and subalterns, military and naval, had been arrested, and sent to Cadiz. PxNzoii has been appointed to the-command of the naval force appointed to operate on the coast of Galicia. The French Government, too, has ordered a ship of war to proceed from Brest to the Galician coast to protect, and, if necessary, receive on board the French residents at Vigo, and other places in possession of the insurgents. This cer tainly looks as if matters were assuming a serious appers ance, and we are inclined to believe that the following ac count of the state of affairs in Galicia, which appears in the Paris National, approaches much nearer the truth than those we receive from Madrid : "Accounts which have just reached us represent the insur rection to be triumphant throughout the whole of Galicia. We will first give a summary of what we find in the El Tiempo, correcting, as we proceed, the errors of that journal, and afterwards add the facts which have reached us from our private correspondence. El Tiempo announces that Vigo made its prnnunciamiento on the 9th, Tuy on the 10th, and that the movement rapidly spread to the towns and villages of Callas, Padron, Corril, Estrada, Redondela, Guardia, Bayona, and Cambedos. In the juntas which have been established are to be found the most influential men of the country—ex-Deputies, officers of the army, merchants, and chiefs of the militia. Don Ramon Ruch, ex-Member of the Cortes, is President of the Junta of Vigo, and Esteban Urreal, another ex-Deputy, of that of Tuy. The Tiempo adds, that the insurgents attacked General Puig Samper at Signeiro, and were repulsed. It was precisely the con trary. In marching on Orense, the chief of the in surgent division, under Solis, met General Puig Samper marching out of Signeiro with two battalions of infantry and a detachment of cavalry. Puig Samper was attacked and completely beaten, and several of his officers and men joined the insurgent flag. The insurrectionary force now amounts to 8,000 men, exclu sive of the militia, which have been organised. Orense must at this moment be in their hands, for we know that on the 17th Solis was marching on Corunna. The last English packet, which carries the Spanish and Portuguese mail, did not touch at Vigo, but it was known that the entire country was in the hands of the insurgents. We think we may an nounce that General Leymerich and Colonel Gurrea have arrived in Galicia with sufficient means to promote the ex tension of the movement. Leymerich was Governor of Madrid in 1843, and the resistance he made at that time bears sufficient testimony to his devotedness, his resolution, and his intelligence. colonel Gurrea is one of the aides de-camp of Espartero and his private secretary. It is pro bable, that at the moment we are writing this account they have given their powerful succour to the citizens and troops av i e u al e re d a ir d e y et i i ni ng parj u e n d t a a v h ig u o s ro b u e s en im i p u u s l t s u e lle to d thaeudmohvase ' soldiers—ln the four provinces of your c?m iinwssheunoeldh. the following proclamation to the Spanish army:— Galicia,e S unitede ori aw, with e i t d h o e , I ‘D i a a n l i a o g n a s , G in u a a r d m a j o a f r t a h , e a r u e d g i m m a e d t o o n f ed Z o a , m h o a r v i the territory the war cry has also been raised against th a t people to hoist the standard of liberty.

True Spaniards, indignant at seeing so near the throne that woman whose hand is stained with blood, and w h o i s as wicked as she is audacious—that woman, wh o h as sworn to accomplish the ruin of a noble and generous nation—have taken up arms in defence of their honour, their independence,. and their liberty. Why then, soldi ers , d o you h es i tate to join them 1 Are' you not the children of Spain ? Has your valour for saken you? Why do you hesitate? Do you not see that a vile traffic is made of your noble blood ? Sons of the people, will you separate yourselves from your fathers, from your mothers, and from your brothers? Whom do you serve? What do you fear? Lay down your arms ! The people wish It ! Lay them down th a t you may not stain them with the blood of your kindred ! Lay them down, for it is by them alone traitors are supported. What would they be without you ? Where is their support in the nation in public opinion ? Would you wish to see them isolated, lost, flying like wretches covered with shame to a foreign land, raise the cry of ' Long live the people!' Shake off, then, this fatal lethargy, and if you are sought to be retained by appeals to your obedience and discipline, reply that discipline and obe dience are not intended to enslave the country, and to serve that unbridled treason which makes use of the throne to ac complish its most odious designs. Soldiers, we are returned to the times of Godoy and of Marie Louise. We are sold to the foreigner, and it is on y ou th a t re li ance i s placed to con summate the infamous work concocted by Christina and her band. Save the country and yourselves ! Unite yourselves to the people, and if you are ordered to direct your bayonets against them, plunge them into the breasts of the wretches who give you such an impious command. The brave soldiers Solis and Rubin de Celis, the intrepid Generals Leymerich Iriarte, Prim, A met l er, the hero of Pinacerrada, tuchana,, and Morella, the terrible Espartero calls on you. Come and range yourselves under their banners, it is that of the country. The Supreme Junta recommends you to do this ; it henceforth will watch the conduct of each, resolved, when the day comes, to punish or to reward. Woe ' to 'him , who shall resist this appeal —woe to him who shall shed a drop of the . people's blood. Lay do wn your arms, theutsol diera, and join with us in the cry o f D own with the Nea politans,'" gown with the traitors,' Long live libe r t y and the country. DRITRY-LANE THEATRE.—The utmost excitement prevails respecting the appearances of Les Danseuses Vien noises on this stage to-morrow. There is no truth whatever in the statement that several of the principals amongst them had gone back to Vienna. Two were sent home by Madame Weiss, as having grown too large, and ten new ones have come from her establishment in Germany. The greatest number that ever danced at the opera last season was twenty-seven—to morrow one of the Pus will be executed by forty-eight children. MILITIA.—The Militia officers of the United King dom will dine together at the Freemason's Tavern on Wednesday next, and it is expected that an unusually large number will muster on that occasion, in consequence of the recent attention that has been publicly called to this branch of our military service, by the critical position of our relations with America. MAnsTort.--The author of " Salathiel" (the Rev. Dr. Croly) has just produced a new work, bearing the title of "Marston ; or, The Soldier and Statesman. , " The object of the distinguished writer appears to have been to delineate life.tlie c a T r e r e a r e i o n f g a h i y m - o u t n r g e m m e a e n n o e f g e n i o n b t l e e family the share of military adventure, he leaves the camp for the zaen3 Guards, af te r P a u due bli c ir P f a a r m lim e ae n nt e , s w e h n e a n te p , i t t a t k a e n s d offi F c o e x , a w n e d re be in con t i h e e s subsequently goes as Chief Secretary to Ireland, where he is i l t e h m b of e r t h o e f present at the insurrection, and becomes acquainted with Grattan and Lord Clare. His talents are then transferred to a wider stage, he being sent Ambassador to Russia at the close of the reign of the Czar Paul. From St. Petersburgh he goes to Paris, during the supremacy of Napoleon, and then returns to England, to distinguish himself in the highest offices of the Government at home. To the vast scope Dr. Croly has here secured for the display of his great knowledge of human life and character, he has wiselyadded a sufficient infusion of the rom an ti c , by pourtraying th e at tachment of his hero for a beautif u l an d noble enzigree. Th e result is a work of the moat varied interest and entertainment Daniel O'Connell has durin g hi s s h ort stay in Londt n given Mr. Jones, the sculptor, se vera l sittings, whereby this emi nent artist ha. been enabled to add another bust to those of the illustrious and distinguished personages that have within a brief periodhonoured his studio. The likeness of the Liberator is so perfect, that Mr. O'Con nell has acknovl hedged it with his autograph. This bust has been executed for a number of subscribers, whose determination is to have the marble placed in a public institution, and to multiply copies of different sizes in biscuit china, terracotta, &c., to meet the wishes of his admirers of all classes. Loss OF LIFE AT MILBANK. —Mr. Bedford, Coroner for Westminster, resumed at the Green Man, Little George-street, Story's Gate, on Thursday last, the adjourned Inquiry touching the respective deaths of George Richards, aged 57, and Martin Murray, aged 28, the two unfortunate individuals who lost their lives by the breaking down of a travelling crane at Milbank, on Friday week. After a long investigation, in which the insecurity and the insuf ficiency of the crane were demonstrated, the Jury, after a long con sultation, returned the following verdict:—" That the two deceased died from the effects of injuries received from the breaking down of a travelling' crane at the Sheldon stone wharf, owing to its insecure state, and they (the trry) levy a deodand of W. upon the same. And the said jury are of opinion that no blame is attributable to Mess rs . Sartois, the proprietors of the wharf." . . FRENCH i'leva.—The Queen and Prince Albert, at tended by Lady Portman, the Hon.

BRUSSELS, APRIL 28.—The average price of wheat in the week ending on Saturday, the 25th of April, was 23f. 32c., and that of Rye 16f. 89c. per hectolitre. The Chamber of Representatives continue the debate on the explanations relative to the fvnyttions of the Cabinet of the 30th March. The interest taken in the discussion by the public diminishes. THE HAGUE, APRIL 27.—We have received by the Over land Mail accounts from our East India possessions to the end of February. Besides the well-known nonsense of opening the small ports of Jara for the shipment of rice, and the decision in favour of ships freighted by the commercial com pany, engaged to convey rice to the Nether lands, the Indian Government has sought to promote the consignment of rice to the mother country, by facilitating the communication from the interior of the Ponts of Java. It was not expected, however, that large consignments would arrive from the interior, on account of the high prices and the scarcity; in order to remedy the latter, the importation of rice into Java is even permitted, duty free, without dis tinction of flags or from what place, till the end of 1846. Prices were, however, falling, and in consequence of heavy rains, which were much wanted, the fears of the failure of the crops had been dispelled. The expedition to the island of Balin is to consist of 1,800 men, Europeans and natives, and to be assembled about the Ist of May at Sumanap, under the command of Lieutenant- Colonel Pakker. CRACOW, APRIL 20.—The Cracow Gazette of this date contains a notice from the police, that the doors of all private houses, shops, public-houses, and all public places in the whole city of Cracow and the suburbs, shall in future be closed, not at 9 o'clock, as hitherto, but at 10 in the evening, after which hour no person is to appear in the street without carrying a lighted lantern. POLISH FRONTIER, APRIL 15.—The accounts from the Caucasus are still unfavourable. The Russian army has suffered extremely this winter, not merely from the arms of the mountaineers, who are extremely active, but still more from the disorders which are very fatal at this season in the low swampy districts. Theranks of the army in the Caucasus are much thinned, and as no troops can be spared from Po land, a considerable number of troops will be necessary this spring, unless it is resolved to give up the offensive system which has hitherto proved so unguccessful. POSEN, APRIL 21.—W e have just heard that in the course of last night four political prisoners have made their escape from our fortress, by what means is not known, and is diffi cult to conceive. The German landowners, about forty in number, who have assembled here, have really voted an address to the King, but it is said to be drawn up in very general terms. It was at first intended, as we understand, to propose a greater representation of the German portion of the population in the provincial assemblies, but this idea was fortunately given up, because the electors, who chose the deputies, cannot be directed whether they shall choose Poles or Germans, Roman Catholics or Protestants. WARSAW, APRIL 19.—The arrival of his Majesty the Em - peror is expected on the sth of next month. It is said that his Majesty will stop only a few days here, and proceed to meet the Empress. MUNSTER, APRIL 29.—The most incredible thing that can happen has now taken place in Westphalia. Yester day morning the parish priest of Telgate, a worthy man, was proceeding to the communion-table to ad minister the sacrament. When he took the cup, he perceived in the wine a very peculiar strange taste; to the great astonishment of the communicants, the priest stopped the ceremony immediately, gave official information, and re quired that b o th th e cu p an d th e c h a li ce should be exa mined. It was found that the wine was poisoned. POSEN, APRIL 29.—Dr. Matecki, brother-in-law of Dr. Liebelt, who is in prison here, was arrested in the street; it is said that a sum of 20,000 dollars was found in his possession, which was to be employed in facilitating the liberation cf persons arrested. KONNBURG, APRIL 22.---The sentence pronounced against Dr. Jacobi for his t wo pamphlets, " The Royal Word," and " Prussians in the Year 1845," was announced to him yesterday. It is two and a-half years' imprisonment in a fortress, for high treason and insolent censure of the Government. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, MAY I.—About 300 hhds. of West India Sugar have been disposed of since our last, and prices have advanced from Is. 3d. to 2s. per cwt. A large business has also been done in Mauritius and Bengals, at better prices.

A MODERN SAMARITAN.—A fashionably attired per son named Thomas Doling, was, with a young woman named Emma Grey, charged at the Clerkenwell Police-office, with robbing ready furnished lodgings. The facts having been proved, a second charge was established against the male prisoner. Having seen a girl fall dawn in a fit in the street, he assisted two policemen in carrying her home to the house of a mechanic named Chapman, in 2, Great Saffron-hill. The good Samaritan remained a while in the room consoling the mother of the girl; but immediately after his depar ture the watch, which hung over the mantel-piece, was missing. The magistrate decided on committing the prisoners for trial. COVENT GARDEN COMPANY.—One of the laws of the Covent Garden Theatrical Fund is, that a person must have been a performer at the theatre for two seasons before he can become a member. Considering the theatre has been closed for the last two years, the only persons—according to the above law—who could possibly claim relief would be the spiders, who, for two seasons running, have been engaged en the flies of the theatre. They really would not be such unworthy objects, for they have performed that most difficult of all theatrical feats—they have literally filled the treasury. —Almanack of the Month.

The fact is, old Marrowfat has been seeking an alliance for his daughter with a certain Sir Charles Lavender, and has been informed that Sir Charles, la order to become acquainted with the true dispositions 0 ' the family into which he is about to enter, has deter mined to off er hi mse lf as a servant, and Paddy 14 811 is accordingly taken for and treated as Sir Charles. When the Baronet himself arrives, lie is of course kicked and cuffed, and treated as though he were the servant. The fun goes on for half an hour, and dol l of course an eclarissement takes place. It is an *n* ing trifle, and was capitally acted. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
