Their Lordships commenced business at Five o'clock. The. Marquis of ELY took the oaths and his seat. The Duke of BUCKINGHAM presented a great number of petitions from places in the counties of Buckingham and Oxford against any alteration in the corn•la‘‘s. The Duke of BCCCLEUCH laid several reports on the table. Petitions in favour of the repeal of the corn-laws were presented by Lord HATHERTON and Earl GREY. The Earl of DALHOUSIE laid on.the table the report of the Committee on Railways. The Noble Earl stated that the object of the resolutions come to by the Com mittee was to assimilate the proceedings of the Com mittees of the House of Lords with those of the House of Commons upon Irish Railway Bills. It was his in tention to-morrow to move the adoption of the report. Lord MONTEAGLE gave notice of his intention on Monday, in case the motion of Lord BEAUMONT, with respect to the burdens on land, was carried, to move, as an addition, for a return of the burdens from which they were exempt, in order that both aides of the ques tion might be properly understood. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE moved, pursuant to notice, fur returns with respect to the commission of crimes in Ireland. He was shocked to see the increase of crimes of the deepest dye in that country, and be could not but think that great blame was due to the Government. It was not only the combination against life, but th a t aga i ns t p ro p er ty, i n I re l an d, th a t oug ht t o h put doyen by the Government. The greater part of Ireland, he asserte d un h es i tat i ng l y, was i n a s t a t e o f in surrection, ction, and no step h a d b een ta k e n b y t h e Govern me to put it down. As the law at present existed, the poor man, if he was honest, must be crushed. The state of Roscommon was such, thttt life and prop erty was not protect e d there. H that e considered high time that somethi ng s h ould be done with it was the criminal law The ,in Irel an d. House h a il respect to now sat th r ee weeks, and the intenti ons o f the '(l' ( ,l e , r e n r m iitt ent cn that subject bad not yet been made know n t o 1 Earl ST.

After some obArrations from Earl FARNHAM and Earl CLARE, Earl GAMY said he was glad to hear that it was the intention of the Government to introduce a mea sure upon the subject that had been introduced by his Noble Friend. There was something radi cally wrong in the state of Ireland, which required Legislative enactments to remedy. Ile hoped, when the measure was introduced, some account would be given of the general policy of the Government with respect to Ireland.' The returns were then agreed to, and the House ad journed. The House met at Four o'clock. ____ The Marquis of CHANDOS took the oaths and his seat for Buckingham, and Lord HENRY LENNoX for Chi chester. On the motion of Lord GRANyILLE SOMERSET, di?, s.coui report of the Coraraittee ou Uaileveya witA agreed t 3 after 4 §hort discussion. Ile had no fear of famine from our being dependent on foreigners for a supply of corn. It would always be the interest of foreigners to sell to us, and as long as we were wiling to buy from them they would sell to us, and it would be impossible for their Governments to prevent them. He gave his hearty concurrence to the Ministe rial proposition. Mr. G. HEATHCOTE, notwithstanding the levity with which the Ministry treated the subject, still thought that consistency was of some value. When his own friends, the late Government, had brought for ward measures which he thought detrimental to agriculture he had opposed them, and now that the Right Honourable Baronet opposite had brought forward measures ten thousand times more mischievous, and accompanied by a desertion of prin ciple unequalled in the annals . of political tergiversati.in, he should give them every opposition in his power. They deprived agriculture of all protection ; they conti nued to manufactures a protection of 10 per cent., end this they called an equitable settlement of the question. The compensation of which so much bad been talked was nothing. The Government would lend their money upon good security ; any money-lender would do the the same, and the compensation offered was perfectly illu sory. As to their recent prosperity, they were indebted to the Hon. Member for Sunderland and.his railways, and not to the Right Hon. Baronet and his tariff. The electi•ms that had taken place of late years showed the triumph of protection. Free trade had not succeeded even in great towns. Free trade in England was a farce until the other countries of the world had altered their tariffs. It was idle to say that a Corn Bill, which would not come into operation for three years, would have the effect of averting the famine that was im pending over Ireland. He felt bound to support the amendment. Mr. W. MARTIN supported the Government propo sition. Mr. THOMAS BARING opposed the motion. Consi dering the grounds on which the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of the Government had proposed his changes, they were inconclusive and uncalled for. It was with great pain that he voted against those with whom he was usually associated, but his duty com pelled him to do so. Cheap bread was a great blessing, but that blessing would be greatly decreased if there was a less demand for labour, which he believed would be the result of carrying the Right Hon. Baronet's proposition. He believed the question of the corn laws ought to be settled by mutual concessions. Lord MORPETII then addressed the House. He be- lievcd that the time for compromise on the subject of the corn-laws had gone by ; a compromise was once offered and rejected. He believed that the recovery of the seat he now filled for the West Riding of Yorkshire spoke volumes as to the opinion of the people on the question of free trade. The proposi tion of the Right lion. Baronet was most truly called comprehensive, for it meddled with manufactures as it did with agriculture. The manufacturers did not com plain of this, all they asked for was a clear stage and no favotn, and why the agriculturists should wish to have unequal odds with them he was at a loss to imagine. He thought the Right Hon. Baronet had nothing to be ashamed of in having been forced to change his opinions by circumstances over which man had no control. No aristocracy could :stand with the existence of a corn-law which, in the time of need, would prom to be prohibitory. He conjured those who be longed to the aristocracy of the country to put aside all selfish feelings, and join hand and heart in the settle ment of a question, which, if not adjusted with them, would be adjusted in spite of them. Let them be the leader;, and not the laggers of the onward march of the British people• He would give his hearty support to the proposition of the Government. Mr. GASKILL had still to learn what circumstances had occurred that called upon a Parliament el. cted to keep up protection to put an end to it altogether. He thought that Gentlemen sitting on the Ministerial side of the House ought not to promote the measure, and that the present Parliament ought not to sanction it. He be lieved that the change of cpinion that had taken place in the Right Hon. Baronet, and in many Members of the House, would create the greatest distrust in the country. He differed from the Right Hon. Baronet, after great consideration upon this question, and felt bound to vote for the amendment. Mr. ROEBUCK had nothing to defend upon this ques tion, but everything to assail. He thought the proceed ings that had been going on out of the House wits re spect to the resigning of seats, was calculated but little to raise its member; in the opinion of the people. It was wonderful that the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of the Gt vernmcnt, after a long life, favourable to protec tion, should have fixed upon the latter end of the last year to put an end to it ; and it was equally wonderful that the Noble Lord, the Member for London, should have adopted a similar course. It was not a question with him what party would be broken up by a propo3i tion to repeal the corn-laws. Whether the measure would benefit the country it would be impossible to say; but he thought that the great change ought to be accom panied by other great changes, to prevent the evil con sequences which must ensue from over-population. Mr. Honcsert IlisnE, having five times presented himself on the hustings as the advocate of protection, and having each time been returned as a protectionst, felt bound to oppose the Ministerial measure. On the motion of Sir 'IICWARD DOUGLAS the debate was adjourned till to-morrow. The other orders of the day having been disposed of, the House adjourned. The statements made by Lord G. BENTINCK, on Wednes • day, relative to bonded corn and the proposed reduction of duty, merit the serious attention of the Goverrnient. His Lordship seemed anxious that speculators and jobbers should not be the first to obtain advantage, and an enormous advantage too, from a boon intended by Sir ROBERT PEEL for the manufacturing and labouring classes. It appeared, said his Lordship, that there were in bond 914,548 qrs. of wheat and 451,464 cwt. of flour. The operation of the pro posed measure would be, to reduce the duty from 16s. (at which it stood, according to the last average,) to 45., and the whole of that bonded wheat would be entered for home consumption at the low duty of 4a., and the difference would not be gained by the consumers, but by the corn-dealers, thereby granting by Act of Parliament a sum of about half a million sterling to a comparatively small number of individuals. All this comes of the sliding scale, and this conetant legislative interference with the food of man ; but still it appears extremely unfair, in fact, it holds out a premium on gambling, to al low such a large sum to be thus appropriated, not according to the Act, in reference to which the corn-dealers imported the grain, but one totally dif ferent. The parties who may thus profit by the change can have uo reason to complain, should the Government be able to devise some plan by which the revenue shall not suffer, and provision be at the same time made fur an ample supply of foreign grain. It would have been satisfactory, therefore, had Lord G. BENTINCK proposed such a plan, instead of simply stating the grievance. Where there is a will, however, there is a way, though we fear this proverb may not be applicable to Mr. Gounnuarr ; and we think that some of the members of the Cabinet, with clearer intellects than the Chancellor of the Exchequer, might easily arrange matters to the satisfaction of the public. The quantity of grain bonded up to a certain period previous to which no grounds existed that wheat would be admitted at 45., can be easily ascertained, and on that a higher duty might be charged than en wheat imported under different circumstances. In such a case the corn dealers could complain of no unfair advantage being taken of their position ; they would indeed suffer no real injury, for it appears that large quantities had been imported on speculation to pay the full duty as fixed by the existing sliding-scale. In the month of December alone not less than 8,097 qrs. of wheat and 2,177 cwt. of flour had been taken out of bond at the average duty for that month. It has been argued, on the other hand, that the public would be the sufferers, as the grain in bond on the passing of the Bill would at once be brought into the market. But that is not a sufficient reason. Large quantities of wheat are pouring in for the purpose of being at once taken out of bond when the duty is reduced. Even from the United States alone an ample supply may be expected before the discussions iu the Commons and Lords are brought to a close, and the Bill be comes law ; and neither the public nor the farmers in the meantime would suffer. The revenue, too, by such a plan, would be increased, and the Government, therefore, could better afford a large grant for the relief of the starving Irish. We were not disappointed in not finding any satis factory answer from the Chancellor of the Exchequer to the application, for we expected none, and is sfa:vc r oc d eus G rs f. againstull lr n T ti t i x et c h i ce turf, t i tle only explanation Le gave was founded on error. State ed excellent calculator, like all th ose ti . n r a e w nei o er u . ld a b l e ten et case, as on ass e tat h e i d l b li y s the former, was perfectly clear and intelligible, while the latter mystified the subject in his usual manner, and would not admit the argument that, because the duty on foreign corn was Ws., the corn now in bond would be brought into market at 4s. "If his Noble Friend," continued Mr. GOULBUItN, " would look to the returns on the table of the llouse, and would look to the periods at which corn was imported, and the periods at which it came into the market, he would find there was a great deal of importation under the sliding-scale, not for the purpose of bringing in the corn at the high duty which existed when it was imported, but for the purpose of bringing it in at a shilling duty when the prices would admit of the itsbatnotduttoy."be This admittedis no at s im w po u rta wh ti a o t n eve o r f , per quarter for three years t o come, and the dut y ror rn corn a t till then is to be 4s. the quarter when wheat is at 535. and up .- Wards. Does the Chancellor of the Exchequer mean that Several petitions were presented in favour of and against railway Bills. On the motion of Lord G. SOMERSET, the following Members were appointed a Committee for the elassifi- cation of Railway Bills:—Lord COURTENAY, Mr. Fox MAULE, Mr. W. PATTEN, Sir W. SOMERVILLE, and Mr. PA KINGTON. Mr. HUDSON brought up the Newcastle and Darling ton Railway Bill. Several Railway Bills having been introduced, and various petitions presented, Admiral DUNDAS said that he understood it was in ended to send Captain JOHNSTONE, who had been tried ;or murder recently at the Old Bailey, to some colony The man certainly ought to be hanged, and he hoped he would not be transported. He also wished to know if it was intended to institute an examination of persons before they were permitted to assume the office of masters of merchant seamen vessels. Sir J. GRAHAM said the Government had no power over Captain JOHNSTONE, he having been acquitted on the ground of insanity, except to keep him in a state of close confinement in Bedlam for life. - He also stated that it was the intention of Government to take mea sures for examining the masters of merchant vessels before their appointment. Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT, in answer to a question, stated that the rubject of providing a retirement for staff officers It as under the consideration of her Majesty's Government, and that the China medals, to the amount of 17,0001, would be ready for distribution in the course of a short time. Mr. STAFFORD O'BRIEN complained of certain inac curacies in the published statistical reports of the Board of Trade, and took the opportunity of indulging in a personal attack on Mr. WGREGOR. Sir GEORGE CLERK said the Honourable Gentleman had given no notice of his question, but that if he would _ _ state to the Board in what the errors consisted, he A ould take care the subject should be inquired into. After a few words from Lord SEYMOUR and Mr. MILNER GIBSON, Mr..T. DUNCOMBE said he had seen Mr. M.GREGon since the attack had been mad- in his statements the other night, and that it appeared that the error complained of was merely a typographical one, and no error of calculation. Mr. STAFFORD O'BRIEN having stated that he intended no personal attack on Mr. M‘GnEoon, the subject dropped. The adjourned debate was then resumed by Mr. CULQUHOUN, who assured the Right Hon. Baronet at the head of the Government that he was mistaken in stating that he (Mr. Colquhoun) had at one time held opinions in favour of the doctrine of total and immediate repeal of the corn-l.aws, ant; that now he held doctrines of protection. lie had not been in favour of total and immediate repeal, but he had been in favour of a fixed duty, and in 1838 and 1839 be bad voted for the motion of Mr. VILLIERS for a Committee on those grounds, and in that division he bad voted with Lord JOHN RUSSELL, Mr. LABOUCUERE, and Mr. F. BARING, all at that time advocates of a fixed duty ; and at the time that he had contested Kilmarnock with Dr. Bo w he had declared himself in favour of a fixed duty, and of the principle of protection to agriculture. lie believed it would be impossible to maintain the prin- ciple without the sympathy and consent of the manufacturing classes, and he believed that at that time those classes had been in favour of a fixed duty, and he could not help thinking that seven years ego a fixed duty would have afforded a satisfactory settle meut of the question. He would confess that he could not hare voted in favour of an abstra:t resoluti n—in favour of protection generally—for he held the opinions which had been propounded by Mr. lIVSKISSON ; and so far as the policy of the Right Hun. Baronet had carried out those opinions, he had afforded the Right Honourable Baronet his support. But the Right Honourable Baronet could not quote the authority of Mr. HomirssoN in support of his present policy. Mr. Huseassox withdrew protection from manufactures, but he continued it to agriculture; be cause it was the duty of every state to impose upon foreign commodities duties equal in amount to those leried on domestic products. Manufacture possessed such natural advantages in the mineral rLhes of the couutt y that it stood in no need of protection ; but agriculture, from the uncertainty of the seasons, labour( d under great natural disadvantages, and therefore stood in need of protection. The arguments of the Right Hon• ourable Baronet for withdrawing protection were not tenable. The causes of the enhanced prices of food were not the alterations of the tariff, bat the agricul tural panic, which limited the supply, the failure of the green and grass crops, the murrain in cattle, and the additional employmeet afforded to the labouring classes by the formation of the new railways. Then, with re gard to the argument of wages, he could not agree with the Right Hon. Baronet in opinion, that the price of wages was not affected by the price of food. He considered that the arguments brought forvrard on that point iu 1839 were unanswerable ; and although it might be very well for the Hon. Secretary to say we have changed our opinions, and therefore there is an end of our former arguments—there was not an end of them—there they stood, as strong, as able, as convincing arguments as ever. The Right Honourable Baronet might have done with those arguments, but they had not. Wages did not imme diately follow the price of provi-eins, but they did ulti mately ; if from any came the labour market should become glutted, how low soever the 1 rice of food might fall, the rate of wages would fall in a still greater ratio ; and he would direct their attention to the social condition of Ireland as an example of what must result from such a state of things. He denied that the repeal of the corn laws would give such an increased development to our manufacturing industry as to raise the rate of wages. The great development of our manufacturing industry during the present century had not produced that effect, and the repeal of the corn-laws would not greatly in crease that development. It was practising a delusion on the working classes to tell them that they would receive the same rate of wages after the repeal of the corn- laws that they had received before that repeal. Ile did not think it was possible for any measures of commercial legislation to improve the condition of the labouring classes or to raise the rate of their wages. It could only be done by dirt ct legislative "nterferencr, or interference that they were told was contrary to the dextrines of political economy, but if they did not inter• fere to improve the condition of the labouring classes they would find that there would eventually be a convulsion hich would shake society to its very foundations. Admitting that the rer.eal would produce a develop ment of foreign trade, a deficient harvest in this country would produce a deficient demand for manufactures from the home market, and the increased development of the foreign market would not make up for the deficiency in the home market. Then, again, they would, by removing protec tion, elistroy their colonial market, for the loss of which no development of their foreign commerce could compen sate them. The present proposition was not a free tree code—silks, ear:henwares, and lace wereprotected. Why was that protection retained ? Because the Hight lion. Baronet thought they were not strong enough to stand alone. Why, then, should it be removed from agricul ture ? He would like to see the Honourable Member for Durham take a farm in Buckinghamshire on a lease, and cultivate it on the principles of free trade, as be bad once said he should like to do ; and he thought that the lion. Gentleman, before his lease was out, would be glad to take advantage of any flaw in the lease to break it, and get rid of his bargain. He asked them in corn mon justice, if they continued protection to any manufacture, to continue it to that which was the most precarious in its results agriculture. It was evident that ever since the Hon. Baronet had assumed office be had never been earnestin his defence of the cause of protection, while it had been vigorously, ably, and earnestly attacked by the Hon. Member for Stockport. Our other institutions ,would be attacked, and they would only be defended by one who was earnestin his defence of those institutions. The Right Hon. Baronet was not in earnest in their defence, and therefore he would not repose any further confidence in the Right lion. Baronet or his Government. His opposi tion to them was sincere and earnest, and he saw no chalice of its being removed, so long as the Right for. Baronet, with his evasions of discussion, should remain the master-spirit of the Cabinet. Mr. C. WYNN regretted to find that on this subject he differed from a large meeting of his constituency—a misfortune which had not before happened to him for nearly half a century that he had represented them. He was aware that it had been said that our forefathers had adopted the doctrines of protection, but he rated their authority as very high in matters relating to commercial legislation. On the subject of com merce, trade, and agriculture, their legislation had been a series of :mischievous meddling, and it was only until the days ,of Mr. PITT and Lord G Mc:VILLE that just principles of commercial legisla tion were acknowledged and acted on. He had always been an advocate for the relaxation of prohibitory and protective duties, but he had always felt the weight of tine argument which was urged in favour of agricultural protection ; but it would be unfair to remove it while protection was con tinned to manufactures. But now dist the measure for the removal of protection to agriculture was not brought forward as an isolatd ms asure, but as part of . a great scheme for- the hzmoval of pro tection generally, he felt bound sq support it. the corn-dealers will keep their wheat in bond for three years, and lose one-half of it by waste, in order that they may im port it at a duty of ls.? We agree with the more trusty calculator, and have no doubt that they wcald throw it upon the market at once. A wonderful outcry has recently been raised among the agricultural gentlemen' about the " unconstitutional " exer tions made by the Anti-Corn•law League. They have swaggered very much about the virginity and the disin terested nature of their own cause ; continence of purpose has, according to their account, added additional lustre to a guess tion originally pure and magnanimous. By action and by utterance, they have bruited forth against that remarkable body epithets but a single hair's breadth from being libellous. They have, in fact, proceeded so far as to assert that it is scarcely legal.. But while they have indulged themselves with these excusable ebullitions of malignity, they have not been sparing in allusions the most flattering to their own integrity. If we may repose implicit credenCe in their insinuations, they were the most barbarously treated, single-minded, generous, and up right characters in the universe. From all these eupho nious expressions of self-adulation, however, we can merely discover one that is strictly and entirely applicable to them selves—they are, beyond a question, the most single-minded of rational beings. But single-minded only, inasmuch as the whole of their faculties are occupied by one superior and exclusive object—self! Self-emolument, self perpetuation self-importance, and self applause— as fir as these particulars are concerned they are marvellously Lingle-minded indeed. With reference to the candour of their proceedings and their straightforward adherence to what is usually considered "fair play," we must be permitted to utter a few sentences of the most decided and complete dissensience. Plentiful have the Neophytes of the New Bond-street mystery become, and hence we are more particularly resolved upon advancing a downright and unmistakeable nesative to their assumption of purity in motive and in movement. In the recent efforts made by certain Right Hon. Members of the Upper House, we concsive—and our estimate must necessa rily, be corroborated by every right thinker that one of the most comprehensive principles in the British Con stitution has been either voluntarily disregarded or altogether lost sight of—namely, the non-interference cf Peers in the election of representatives. This, we repeat, is one of the most fundamental principles in our political state ; destroy it, allow the oligarchy by their moral influence to tamper with the freedom of county or borough elections, and the Government by triple force—the Government by the Monarch, the Nobility and the Commons—is subverted, and transposed, and utterly annulled. By such a dangerous in terference the main vigour and efficacy of the State becomes vested in the Peers; under such a species of party.domina tion the representatives of the people become little better than puppets. To point out the precise application of these remarks, it will be sufficient is all conscience to parti cularise one or two of the numerous cases which have re cently occurred, wherein several Noble Lords have acted a rather prominent and impolitic part. As these in • stances have severally been detailed in our columns as they transpired, we need but mention the names_of the personages implicated. What, for example, could be more apparent than the electioneering impulse thrown into the con stituency of Newark by his Grace of NEWCASTLE? At Chichester, too, Lord Mousy LENNOX is a worthy automaton for the wire-pulling of the Protectionist Association ; while in the instance of that doomed and luckless borough of Buckingham, the heir to the dukedom is a suit able creature for the dictation of a paternal land lord. The Marquis of CIIANDOS will pr6ve no undu tiful adrocate of the spirit for the maintenance oi which he is thrust upon a credulous or overruled constituency. It is assuredly not requisite to specify any further occur rences of a like nature every one who has observed the alternate retirements from the Commons, and nominations of new candidates, must by absolute necessity have remarked the influence—agitation, instituted at each of the vacated bo roughs by the self-appointed directors of the Protectionist' Association, and the ostensible manner in which the oligarchy have been instrumental in the selection of such and such can didates—fit champions (we had almost said fit mercenaries) of their most noble patrons. If these proceedings are not totally and essentially unconstitutionsi, acts the most subversive of the Executive authority are in accord ance with the principles of free government. The facts to hick we have made this especial allusion cannot be ' too strongly objected to; they are inimical to the continuance of an admirably balanced state— they are opposed to the grandest principles upon which the English Constitution is founded—they are in direct antagonism to freedom of thought and liberty of action, and hence are liable to • exercise a most malign influence over the nm.tion at large—an influence that will spread rapidly unless rapidly destroyed. Madrid journals of the 4th state that the discussion on the new electoral law commenced that day in the Chamber of Deputies. The general tenor of the Bill Was approved, and next day the articles were to be taken into consideration separately; also an amendment, proposing that each Deputy must possess landed property, the rent of which shall exceed 2001., or pay 201. direct contribution. The Infante Don ll►:cnlQur had arrived at Ferrol. On the Bourse the Three per Cents closed at 32 9-16 for cash, and 33 at GO days, and the Fives at 23%, also 60 days. In the Frerch Chamber of Deputies the Secret Service Money Bill was presented on Monday by M. DUCIIATEL, the Minister of the Interior. This Bill, or. former occasions, was generally delayed for some months after the opening of the session, and gave rise to keen debates. Indeed, it was con sidered as a test of party in the Chainber, but the Ministry having been so successful in the divisions on the Address, consider it best to lose no time, and put matters beyond doubt at once. This decision has given great offence to the Oppositior, as they looked forward to another protracted debate some weeks hence, when circumstances unfavourable to the Ministry might come to their aid. In introducing the measure M. DUCIIATEL made these remarks :—" In com pli a nce with the KING'S commands, we have come to demand the extraord inar y •credit which the wants of the have yearrequired for th e expenses o f the secret often assured you that this sum of 1,000,000 francsservice . e-Ne every aViscArcely sufficient. In more serious and difficult circumstances, a larger sum would be necessary. The credit constantly voted by the Chambers since 1840 ca: not be reduced without danger; it is a fact which they, ever., who have repeatedly moved amendment in the debates on the secret money service seem to have acknow ledged. Confined to very feeble sums, the amendment supported by the Opposition and rejected by the Chamber had the character of a political vote, and did not bear on the service itself. A year ago, the Bill we have now again the honour of presenting to you gave rise to a dscisive debate on the Government's policy. We had, our selves, deemed it necessary to provoke that debate. At pre: sent the general situation of affairs does not impose upon us the same duty. You have just appreciated in its ensemble and details the internal and external policy of the Cabinet. No-doubt can arise in the public mind as to the Chambers' judgment on it. It is but for the sake of the public service that we demand the extraordinary credit of which the votes of the Chatnters have, for fifteen years past, always pro claimed the necessity." The Minister of War presented a Bill for opening an ex traordinary credit of 24,000,000 on the estimates of 1845 and 1846 for the service of Algeria. The Chamber then pro ceeded to discuss a Bill for preventing the adulteration of wine, which it appears is carried on to an enormous extent, throughbut France, but more especially at Paris. The Journal des Dehats confirms the report which appeared in The Sun yesterday, that the Duke D'AUMALE was to set out without delay for Algiers. A letter from that place, which appears in the Presse, says—" A great morta lity prevails at present amongst our soldiers in the three pro vinces of Algiers, Orar., and Constantino- The hospitals are crowded, and, if we are well informed, upwards of GOO men have fallen Victims to fever or dysentery, in the province of Algiers alone, during the month of December. Add to that the disasters that have occurred in the province of Constan tine, and the excessive fatigues of the last campaign in the west, and the moral discouragement of our soldiers may be imagined." Atelegraphie dispatch received at Paris announces the arrival of the Indian mail at Marseilles, on Monday morning, at nine o'clock—all safe. On the Paris Bourse it was generally understood that it is in con templation by the Minister of Finance to bring in a Bill to comrcl parties who have caution money to lodge with the Government, on any occasion whore such a proceeding may be necessary, to make that deposit in stock instt ad of cash ; the result has been a consider able advance, Three per Cents. closing at 84f. 75c., and Five per as follows :—Three per Cents., for cash, 84f. 75e. • for Account, Cents., at 123 f. 75c. for the end of the month.

WESTMINSTER ELECTION.--It will be seen from the report of a meeting, held on Wednesday, that Sir De Lacy Evans comes forward to dispute the borough with Captain Rous. In a paragraph which appeared in The Sun of yesterday, we expressed a hope that no opposition would be made at present to the Gallant Captain, as he was a de termined supporter of Sir Robert Peel's measures, so generally approved by the whole Liberal party, and we 'tee no reason to change our opinion. We understand that the electors who attended the meeting were not unanimous in recommending Sir De Lacy Evans to force on a contest under these peculiar circumstances, and we have heard a6:i that the monopolists who wish to see the new tariff rejected, arc resolved to support a candidate opposed in every respect to - their views. they will, in fact, vote for Evans, in older to turn out Rous and annoy the Minister. We believe Sir De Lacy Evans, from his high character and his liberal politics, would be ashamed of every vote given from such unworthy and debasing motives. When the proper time comes, let bin stand on his own merits; he will then be able to carry his election without such meretricious aid, and will find no journal more ready to sup. ' post him than The Sun. Any attempt of the kind at present, we fear, would injure the Government without benefiting the Liberal party.. In addition to these reasons; Captain Rous will be tf great use in the Admiralty. Ile is bent on reforming our present defective naval system; he will, in fact; give new life to that department, if we are to place confidence in repeated statements, and his rejection at present therefore, when so much is to be done in that respect, would be a great loss. We understand that Mr. Tufnell, brother cf thi Mem ber for Devonport, has resigned his office of Assistant Poor law Commissioner, on the ground of general dissatisfaction with the present Commissioners, whose treatment of Mr. Parker is to be the subject of a motion for inquiry in the House of Commons this evening. - - ELECTI )N MOVEDIENTS.—Mr. Hililyard. a Notting hamshire gentleman, is in the field for South Nottingham shire, as a " protectionist," in opposition to the Earl of Lin coln.

A new ballet, in two acts, entitled the The Island Nymph , was produced at this theatre last evening., for the rentrie of Ma demoiselle Maria and Monsieur Desplaces, anti for the debut or Mademoiselle Neodot, premiere danseuse at the Grand Opera at Madrid. The plot is simple. I.d:ara (Monsieur Desplaces), a young Greek, is wrecked on an island, inhabited by nymphs. Edda (Mademoiselle Maria), a nymph, finds him on the shore, and falls in love with him. The Queen of the island (Mademoiselle Neodot) condemns him to death as an intruder on the sacred territory ; but, at the intercession of Edda, she pardons him, and gives him hospitality, until a ship arrives to take him to his native land. The nymphs prepare for the chase, and here we have a pas de chasseuses, by the coryphees and the corps do ballet, and a grand pas scut, by Mademoiselle Neodet, the debutante. Mademoiselle Neodot possesses a beautiful figure, and expres sive features ; she is excedingly graceful in her movements, and her pantomime is very expressive. She is a perfe .t mistress of her art, and her pat are twinkling yet clearly defined, and crisp, if we may be allowed to make use of such an expression, in reference to the choerographic art. While the nymphs are resting from the fatigues of the chase, Leara appears, and renews his vows of love t, Edda. 'Phis scene gives occasion to the introduction of a grand pas de deux by Mademoiselle Maria and Monsieur Desplaces, which is the great feature of the ballet, and in which the tours de force of Mademoiselle Maria are really wonderful. She was applauded to the echo, and rapturously encored. Leara, how ever, is not a constant lover. He meets with another nymph, a certain Cloe (Mademoiselle Louise), to whom he also makes vows of love, and is struck blind by the avenging gods for his infidelity. In this scene is introduced a pas de deux d'action by Mademoiselle Louise and Mons. Desplaces, in which Mademoiselle Louise exhibited great powers both as a danseuse and a pantomimist. This young lady has taken a giant's stride in her profess:enal career, and the day is not far distant when she wall occupy a conspicuous place among the premiere danseuses of the day. Wa have not had such a promising danseuse on the English stage since poor Clara Webster. Glee deserts her blind lover, but Edda is faithful to him• In answer to her prayers his sight is restored ; and, sacrificing her immortality to her love, she accompanies him as his wife to his Grecian home. The scenery by Grieve and Telbin was magnificent, and the music of Schira was expressive and appro priate. At the fall of the curtain Mademoiselle Mademoiselle Neodot, and M. Despiaces were cailcd for, and honoured with the usual ovation. The house was crowded. HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTION AND DISEASES OF THE CHEST, BROMPTON.—On Saturday afternoon, a committee of gentlemen, including Colonel Le Blanc, Otho Hamilton, Esq., Dr. Forbes, Dr. Roe, Dr. Dickson, &c., the architect, secre tary, and other officers of the institution, inspected the west wing and principal entrance of this truly beautiful and inte resting building at Brompton. The greatest satisfaction was expressed by all at the admirable manner in which the ar chitect's (F. J. Francis, Esq.) design has been carried out by the builders. The warming and ventilation is rapidly pro gressing, and arrangements are being made for the application of temperature of various degrees, so as to approximate that of different climates to particular apartments. On the occa sion of the opening of the portion of the building referred to, a grand fancy fair and bazaar will be held in the Royal Gardens of Chelsea College and Old Ranelagh, of which her Majesty the Queen, through Sir Henry Wheatley, and the Queen Dowager, through Lord Howe, have graciously signi fied their intention of patronizing. When sufficient funds are available for the completion of the building, the charity will be second to none in the empire. Robert Baxter, Esq., has recently subscribed the sum of 1001., and "A receiver of many armies" 59/., in aid of the building fund. THE CORN-LAW QUESTION IN THE CITY.—The following letter has been received by Mr. Wire in answer to a requi sition for a Court of Common Council on the subject of the corn laws :—" Mansion-house, Feb. 10.—The Lord Mayor presents its com pliments to Mr. Wire and the other requisitionists who have re quested the Lord Mayor • to call an early Court to consider the pro priety of petition! •t; Parliament lin* the total and immediate repeal of the corn-laws,' and signitlei his assent thereto; and there being a notice of motion, by Mr. Wire, on the paper of business for the Court of Common Council on Thursday, the 12th instant, to con sider • that the Court do present petitions to both Houses of Parlia• ment.praying for the total and immediate repeaLof the corn-laws,' the Lord Mayor will give precedence to Mr. Wire's motion, which will doubtless answer the purpose of the requislonists ; and due notice shall be sent to the members of the Court accordingly." We understand that the long-depending disputes be tween the Countess de Deily Ferrais and the executors of the late Marquis of Hertford have been terminated by a compromise, which has been confirmed by the Court of Chancery. The Countess is to receive her pecuniary legaclei in full, amounting with interest to about 97,0001. Her Ladyship also takes the villa in the Regent's park for her life, with the valuable furniture and effects and articles of vertu for her life. This property is let to Sir Richard Vyvyan, the Member for Holston, at a large annual sum. The Countess also takes the Birmingham property, which produces upwards of 1,3001. per annum, subject to a life•interest upon it. The securities at Milan, which have been the subject of repeated discussions in our Courts, are to be purchased by she Countess at a suns agreed upon with the executors ; and al other claims on each side are to be im mediately abandoned. A sum of 70,0001. and upwards was paid on Friday to the solicitor of the Countess, on account, under the same order of Court,—Tines. LAW OF DEBTOR AND CREDITOR.—The Committee appointed in 1842 by the merchants and traders of London, on the subject of the Taw if debtor and creditor, and subsequently ap pointed last May for the purpose of obtaining an amendment of the bankruptcy and insolvency law, have printed and circulated a re port, which is to be submitted to a public meeting at the London Tavern on Monday next. The report contains a summary of the Bill which the Committee have prepared, and which was introduced by Air. Masterman and Mr. Hawes into the House of Commons last session. This Bill provides improvements in the first steps et bank ruptcy during the period which elapses between the day of appear ance before the Court upon the summons and the completion of the act of bankruptcy, and the taking possession of the property by the messenger, so as to preclude "reasonable complaint" on the part of the honest debtor. The Court of Bankruptcy will be empowered to withdraw its protection from bankrupts and insolvents at discretion, and such withdrawal will be compulsory if the bankrupt cannot satisfy the Court that his nankrnptcyis not fraudulent, both assignees and individual creditors having a right to imprison tho debtor's person as soon as the protection is withdrawn. Bills of sale and mortgages of personal property are to be inoperative against creditors, unless filed within twenty-one days after the execution. Against the union of the Bankrupt and Insolvent Courts, the Com mittee express themselves in the strongest terms. 'A remark on the haeffletency of the law, as hitherto administered, is followed by this statement :—" Your Committee will only mention, in illustration of this statement, that in the six months of the year 1841, prior to the passing of the Bankruptcy Act of 1842, thirty-three bankruptcies occurred, in which the amount of debts was 2,998,720/. ; the assets, as stated in the balance-sheets (but which, as well known, are only partially realised), being no more than 468,219 L, showing a loss, in those few cases only, of 2,512,57 1." In collecting facts, nod in drawing inferences, the Committee seem to have acted with most lstptable industry. _ _ MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.— ATHAM, FEB. 10.— This afternoon the 40th Regiment, under command of Major F. Collington, was inspected in heavy marching order on the general parade ground, Chatham Barracks, by the Deputy-Adjutant-General, Major-General George Brown, K. 11., attended by the Colonel, Com mandant Sir Thomas Willshire, K.C.11 , and the. Major cf Brigade Major J. D. O'Brien. The Adjutant-General arrived on the ground at half-past 1 o'clock ;. the regiment having previously assembled, forming a line, the band playing " Gcd Save the Queen," they were formed into companies, when the Adjutant-Gcneral, accompanied by the Commandant, passed thr ugh the ranks, making a general in spection. At the conclusion the officers in charge of the regiment were called out from the ranks, and, forming a line, were addressed by the Inspecting-General in very complimentary terms on their return home, remarking that the regiment was more like one going out than one so recently returned from India after an absence of 22 years. At the departure of the Adjutant-General, the following regimental order was published: —" The commanding officer has much pleasure in communicating to the men, that the Deputy Adjutant-General was pleased to express his high gratification with their soldier-like appearance on the parade this afternoon, and hopes that by their future conduct they will prove them selves entitled to that praise which the regiment has hitherto had the good fortune to receive, and which it so justly merited." The regiment is expected to march from this garrison in one division on Thursday next for Canterbury, there to join their depot, about 300 strong. At Canterbury, furloughs are to be granted to the regi ment, to extend, according to the Adjutant-General's statement, to the 15th of April next. The following number of men, viz. 2 colour sergeants, 2 corporals, and 42 privates, have been removed to the Invalid Doped, St. Mary's Barracks, there to await receiving their discharge on pensions according to their term of servitude. Captain J. S. Wood, of the 13th Light Infantry, or “ Prince Albert's Own," is appointed to the office of Brigade-Major at this garrison, vice Major O'Brien, who joins his regiment at Dublin. Sergeant-Major James Gear, of the 57th Regiment, was discharged this day on a pen sion, after a service of 26 years. This much-esteemed non-commis- Monett officer has been 24 years a non commissioned offices, and for the last 10 years has been Sergeant Major of the garrison at Chat ham. His length of service entitles him to participate in the benefits of the good conduct warrant. Sergeant Michael Conlin, 28th Regi ment, was promoted this day to the rank of Sergeant-Major, vice Gear discharged, and Sergeant Stone, 99th Rosh:nein, is appointed ITOYost-Sergeant, vice Conlin promoted. CHARING-CROSS BRIDGE COMPANY. The half-yearly general meeting of the proprietors of this Company was held at one o'clock yesterday afternoon, at the Company's offices, No. 9, Villiers-street, Strand, for the pur pose of receiving the directors' report and the transaction of other business. There was a large attendance of share holders. Amongst the directors present we observed Messrs. Cory, Sutton, Miller, Vaughan, Todd, Christie, and Seeger. It: Hawes, Esq., the Deputy-Chairman, took the chair, and called upon the Secretary to read the advertisement convening the meeting, which having been done, Mr. LAWRENCE (the clerk) read the directors' report, which stated that the directors bad to congratulate the proprietors upon the continued success of the bridge, and that the tolls received during the last six months, from Ju'y 31, 1845, to Jan.3l, 1846, would justify the payment of a dividend of 18s. per share, or nearly 71 per cent. on the capital stock of the Company, and interest at the rate of 5 per cent. on the capital paid on the eighth shares, amounting together to 2,937 P. 16s. against the net receipts, after the payment of all expenses, of 3,06 C/. Bs. 4d. The directors regretted their inability to arrive at any amicable settlement with the Market Company with respect to the passage of the servants of that Company over the bridge. They were very sanguine as to the last proposition they made to the Company, because it was in every way advantageous to the Company. That offer had been met in so uncompro mising a spirit that nothing appeared to remain but an ap peal to a court of law to decide the claims and rights of each Company. Such a step the directors much regretted, as well on account of the expense as to the trouble and injury to both Companies incidental to such a proceeding, but in justice to the Company they felt that no other course was now left open to them. The directors had also to re-port that they were proceeding with the Bill in Parliament to enable them to complete the sale of the bridge to Messrs. Jackson and others, and in consequence of those proceedings they had not exercised the powers vested in them by the Act of Parliament obtained last session for raising additional capital to form approaches ; nor bad they attempted to raise lo ins to pay off the Exchequer Loan Commissioners, both or either of which they were authorised to do hy the resolutions of-the general meeting of proprietors, held in August la t. The balance, after payment of the pre sent proposed dividend, would be 1861. Bs. 41. The CHAIRMAN, at the conclusion of the report, said he had very few remarks to make upon the report. The paragraphs in the report chiefly calling fur his observations were those referring to the directors' inability to come to any amicable arrangement with the Hurgerford Market Com pany. The directors were particularly anxious to 1 y the whole affair open to the proprietors. The agreement, out of which the present dispute arose, was made in 1836, by which it was arranged that a certain portion of the bridge should be apportioned to the public, and another to the servants of the Market Company. That Company now call( d upon the proprie tors of t his Company to give them increased advantages,which of course could not be conceded. The Market Company de manded that the public should pass over the bridge toll free. Arbitration had been agreed to, but nothing satisfactory could be done That Company said they had no funds to improve the state of the market -or the approach to the bridge, but the truth was that they were possessed of up wards of 3,000 shares in this Company, and they had not themselves paid any dividend for the last five or six years. (Several proprietors of the Market Company who Isere present, and who are also shareholders in the bridge Company, here denied the truth of the Chairman's state ment.) However, he did hope that they would shortly again meet and endeavour to settle the present differences in a manner just and honourable to both parties. The Rev. W. Onn said that this Company ought to tell the Market Company, openly and honestly, that they would pay the expenses of the settlement of the dispute existing between the two Companies, because he really believed that the Market Company was in the right and this Company in the wrung.—(Cheers.) Mr. Lama said be believed, on the other hand, that the Market Company had not a leg to stand upon, provided they went to law.—(dear, hear.) Mr. FOWLER sincerely hoped that some amicable are rangement would be entered into for the sake of both Companies.—(Loud cheers.) He thought that the Chair man s doctrine, that because the two Companies were now in different positions the old agreement could not be strictly carried out, would lead to very dangerous results.—(Hear, hear.) The Market Company, with a view of satisfying this Company, had gone to much expense.— (Hear, hear.) He really believed that this Company had in several instances violated the agreement, to the great pre judice of the Market Company, in one instance to the ex tent.of 3,0001.-a(Hear, hear.) He could not believe the statement of the Chairman, that the Market Company had " most unreasonably repudiated the reasonable and fair pro posals of this Company. '—(Cheers ) The Hon. Mr. BOVVERIE also recommended this Com• ,any to enter into an amicable arrangement with the Mar- ket 'Company. The CHAIRMAN then rose to vindicate the conduct of him self and ins fellow-directors with regard to the Market Cern pany. 1t had been said by Mr. Fowler that the Market Company had conceded a great right in carrying out the alteration of the pier; but that war carried out by mutual agreement, and that Company could not, therefore, claim anythirg in that respect. With respect to dredging the shore, as alluded to by the same speaker, that was also done by mutual agreement; and if the Market Company had fulfilled their part of the a g reement at a greater expense that this Company, they had no right to charge this Company with any injustice.—(Hear, hear.) This Company proposed that one- sixth more of the bridge should be appropriated to the Market Company than they were entitled to, for the purposes of their traffic, and surely a proposition of that sort should be at once accepted by theM. Mr. STAINTON charged the directors of this Company with injustice to the Market Company, although had it not been for that Company the Bridge Company would have been bankrupt.— (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN denied that such was the fact. Mr. SEAGER, as a director of the Hungerford Market Corn parry, appealed to the Chairman and also to the shareholders present, who were proprietors of the Market Company, rhether he and his co-directors had not done everything that could be reasonably expected of them to bring this long existing dispute to a settlement? Believing that the Market Company had honestly done their duty, he did not think it prudent at present to answer the call that had been made upon him to enter into an explanation of the conduct of him self and his brother directors.—(Applause.) The CHAIRMAN, in reply to an Hon. Proprietor, stated that the Market Company had positively refused to pay any por tion whatever of the expense of the proposed alteration, and it was on that ground that he and his co-directors recom mended the Company to institute legal proceedings to com pel them. Mr. ADAMS recommended some arrangement by which the traffic to the boats and the passengers over the bridge should be kept quite distinct—(liter.) The expense of that ar rangetnent ought, in his opinion, to be equally paid by the two companies. He called on such proprietors of the Market Company as were present to avoid all legal proceedings by at once recommending their Board to accede to the requests of this Company.—(Applause.) The CHAIRMAN then said that he had given the discussion fair play, and he believed he might say that the unanimous _wish of the meeting was, that two distinct ways should at once be made over the bridge.—(Hear, hear.) He then moved that the report be received and circulated amongst the proprietors The motion was seconded, and carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN, in reply to an Hon. Proprietor, stated that the contract for the purChase of the bridge was being properly carried out by Messrs. Jackson and others. He then proposed that the dividend recommended, viz., 18s. per share, by the directors, should be paid to the shareholders. The motion was seconded and passed. After some further remarks, with respect to the differences existing between this and the Market Companies, iu the course of which The CHAIRMAN said that the question in dispute was whether the public at large, as well as the servants of the Market Company, had a right of access to the pier. Mr. BEEKNIASTER moved, and an Hon. Proprietor se conded, that the best thanks of the meeting be given to the Chairman for his able conduct in the chair. The resolut ion was put, unanimously carried, and responded to by the Chairman, after which the meeting separated. NORTHERN AND EASTERN RAIL WAY. A meeting of the proprietors in this railway was held yesterday at the Company's offices, - Shoreditch. Richard Paterson, Esq., occupied the chair. The SECRETARY read the report, the substance of which was as follows: "The directors had to report that the agreement between this Company and the Eastern Counties' Company, had been engrossed, and that the common seals of the two Companies had been affixed thereto. _ _ "The leading feature of tke agreement was, that the share holders of the Northern and Eastern Company Should retain their guarantee of 5 per cent. per annum, after having received two Eastern Counties York Extension shares of 201. each for every 50/. of their capital ; or be guaranteed 6 per cent. per annum interest in perpetuity, to commence from the Ist of July next, and forego all right to present and future extension shares; but both to receive a rateable divi sion with the Eastern Counties' shareholders of any surplus, in lieu of their portion of one-third of any divisible fund, as provided by the agreement of December, 1843. " The extension of the Northern and Eastern Railway to Cambridge and Brandon had necessarily produced a consi derable increase of traffic, but, owing to the want of engine power and carrying stock, the Eastern Counties Company had, up to the present time, been unable to afford all the facilities necessary for its full development. " The dividend which the meeting would have to declare for the half-year ending the 31st of December last, at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum on the respective shares of the Company, to lmome payable on the Ist of March, would be as follows :—viz., 1/. 2s. 6d. per share on the registered shares (501. paid)—less property-tax ; 12s. 2d. per share on the registered shares (301. paid)—less property-tax ; 17s. 6d. per share on the scrip shares (401. paid)—less property-tax. " RICHARD PATERSON, Chairman. " Shoreditch, London, Feb. 4, 1846." The Treasurer's statement showed a balance to the account of 47,171/ ss. 3d. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the report, said that he did not think it required any explanation; but he was ready to answer any question which might be put to him. Mr. KINNAIRD seconded the adoption of the report. In answer to several questions from proprietors, The CHAIRMAN said that the total number of shares in the Company was 23,108, and out of that number 17,690 had agreed to take the New Extension Shares. The Eastern Counties Company had agreed to declare 6 per cent., if the receipts on the Northern and Eastern should be 132,500 L; but as they were only 115,500/., they only declared 5 per cent. Resolutions confirmatory of the report were then passed, and, after a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors, the meeting separated. • TGTAL AND IMMEDIATE IiEPEAL.--A public meeting Was held at Doncaster on Wednesday evening, convened by the mayor, in accordance with a requisition, to consider the propriety of petitioning Parliament for the total and hu nted:ate repeal of all restrictions upon the trade and commerce of the country. The meeting was held in the Town-hall, and was at tended lay several hundreds of persons from the town and neigh bourhood, amongst whom were eeyeral tenant farmers from the villages around. The chair was taken by Mr. Councillor Milner, in the absence of the mayor, who was prevented fr.oin attending. The first resol tion was_ proposed by Mr. Basile, " that the meeting perceived with much satisfaction, that the national struggle fer industrial freedom was rapidly drawing to a close, and that the cause of truth would ere long be crowned ith complete suc cess," &c. The other resolutions were moved and seconded ny Mr. Merratt. solicitor ; Mr. Blaglen, of Warmsworth, tenant farmer ; Mr. Dent Dale, of Balby, also a tenant farmer, and a Warm advocate of the abolition of the corn-laws; Mr. Richard Dale ; Mr Councillor Dunn ; William Chadwick, Esq., of Arkley, large landed proprietor and well-known anti-monopolist ; Mr. Joseph Clark, tanner, who expressed his conviction that no injury would accrue either to tanners or minders by the Premier's proposed reduc tions in that branch of trade ; and . by other gentlemen of the town. A series of resolutions h avin g been passed, a petition, embodying the sentiments expressed in them, was agreed to, praying for an imme diate, total, and unconditional repeal of all laws that interfere with the rights of labour, the abundant supply of food, and the general prosperity of the nation. The speeches delivered were warm and energetic, and congratulatory on the fact that the dawnfall of mono poly was now nigh at hand ; and it was agreed that the petition should be signed and sent off on 'Wednesday, for presentation to the House of C01111.11Q116 by Lord UOTkeill on Thursday flight. LITERATURE. • THE .KNIGHT OF G WYNNE. Nos. I. and 11 By Males I ever. While his brother litcrateu. with scarcely another sic ception, are subsiding either into utter silence (such as t'lr Bulwer Lytton), or into casual magazine writers (such as . W. H. Maxwell), or into a mongrel existence in new s p a c er' . (such as Dickens), or into resurrectionists of thr.ii own to!" gotten creations (such as Ainsworth)—Charles Lever, the (mild " Harry Lorrequer" continues as fresh, and spark. ling. and prolific as he lies been heretofore. In these sate what turbulent-minded times, when both politics aod tare appear to.have lapsed into the confusion which is ge: nerally the forerunner of a great change, it is really to be greeted each month by the same hilarious heart will c `; has lightened our own so frequently during the last f , ur v e, five years. We regard that old pink covering alone, o soT st thing worthy of our estimation : it looks the hal binger". least one evening's amusement ; nor is its smallest z?(liii'7j that " Pbiz"—rare, delicate, laughter-moving "1 h'z continues to be the illustrator. Although it is scarcely sible to arrive at any correct conclusi3n regarding the inet_ e of a fiction after having perused merely nine chapters, je can safely declare that the commencement a ; , r " Knight of Gwynne" is equal if not sliPe, r ' r ., to the commencement of any other of Mr. Lel a , productions. Curiously enough, whether by design .9! .0 1 gctfulness, the first chapter opens in a manner identical the opening of "Jack Hinton," namely, in a banq i, immediate) , after the guests have retired; the oely;til:, similarity being th a t one i s s it u at e d in London, and t he in Dublin. The characteristi c in which " Harrv-Lorreclit.e, ' is unrivalled, is as au anedote teller: as h e cra walnut over his maderia some grotesque and oktr av ,,, 6 ,pse adventure is rattled off with the most fascinating slu a— „. and without the faintest indication of effest. As one 'lid; the drollest of these little episodes, the account °f I ,der French's hunt on a dromedary after an " ibis" is "ilblot fully finny; especially with the assistance of ti de' Browne's etching needle. We may also particularise tThe scription of Gwynne Abbey as charmingly pi c turesqu n e • ret a old knigh himself is beautifully conceived, an d vs Peills l Daly promises to be one of the most finished and orltsre characters Mr. Lever has vet summoned into e. , OSe According to our estimate; the motto - of the Corinn e t lo le touchez pas!" will not apply to the present . nart 3 :: their descendant's career ; far otherwise—the Fag destined to be well thumbed.
