It is singular enough that Sir ROBERT PEEL in the imaginary picture which he drew of the Govern tent in his remarkable speech the other night, painted Iq striking colours his own condition at the close of the Y e ar 1830. If there ever was a government that ‘‘ shamefully abandoned the vessel of the state," it was t he gove rnmen t o f th e D u k e o f WELLINGTON. The DUKE and Sir ROBERT PEEL were pressed with ulfficulties from abroad, the country at home was re lueed by their mismanagement to a state of anarchy-- the cry of reform stunned their ears—all, or even one ° f these, would have been a sufficient ground for re- L guing office, but to have resigned on such pleas *°llld have amounted to an admission that they were lneapable of governing the country ; and therefore makin g their defeat on the question of the Civil List `` a pretext," they abandoned office to escape from the difficulties with which they were surrounded. to rhe crew deserted the vessel, and left to their enemies the task of saving it from the damages which threatened to overwhelm it." Never was there an ad -Ininistration which showed such an utter want of judg- Ment on the great question that agitated the public mind, or such cowardice in facing difficulties, and yet these are th e men w h o h ave t h e assurance to proc l a i m ay afte r d a y th a t th e coun t ry cannot b e save d w i t h out (lthem. The people know how to appreciate such lan guage. Th e T or i es w i t hi n t h e l ast s i x years h ave b een twice weighed in the balance and found wanting, and I . ) , i ' 43 vided L or d M ELBOURNE s h ows that. firmness and det ermination of which we believe him capable, many L e ln will yet elapse before they have a. third trial. hese men reject with scorn the imputation that tli ''re are cer t a i n p a rties who seek by low intrigue t 0 ; overturn the Government, and then to bring r t : maturity the measures introduced by their oppo -4118. Why, what but low intrigue overturned the 'lllioußNE Administration in 1834 ? What was Plea of Lord ELLENBOROUGH for his party t 4 ii "ng office in 1832 but that of bringing to maturity Reform Bill introduced by Lord GREY, and on 'it did Sir R O BERT PEEL rest his claim to public conf idence i n 1835 b u t a fair trial—a trial whethe r h e tet'lld not carry out tilt' principles of Reform better „ h a r , - L his opponents? But they reject the imputation 'Ow intri gue now . We give them the benefit of th e 4 : 11 , 1 . We admit they have tried it too often in vain, 100 recently to succeed ; but is their plan not more 40 1 :Ztrous to the best interests of the people ? Is it the In„..2re dan ger ous to reject every great measure sent to 44 , UPper H ouse b y th e Representatives of the peopl e , t ow 'lltlt a st o p t o a ll pu bli c business till the Lords be al tottitd to Con d uct the affairs of the country and controul o l d „ICING and Commons as they ever did under the ject:orcuglimongering system ? That is the plan pro d by Lord LYNDHURST—it is now taken up by and the people may rest satisfied it will be eve . e v i ered in till a secon d re f orm cr i s i s settles for t the question, whethe r the people or a grasping i . h lB4l Telly are to be masters. The Government in the mu ne have only one sa f e course to pursue — to Ceti )' out unflinchingly, and to the full extent, the th e' at • the 4 . rinciples on which they resumed office—to leave 2 i nto of rejecting them to the House of Lords ; grem, when the day of trial comes, they will find the t bo dy 01 the people as ready and determined as th eY were in 1832 to support them in the great cause o f re form. "We h :ave ever held but one opinion respecting the 4 °l i cY which it behoved the English and French ° *ern menta to adopt, in order to effect the pacifica tionf th e ' of the Peninsula. From the commencement i o t"ie :fratricidal struggle which saturates Spain witht that of of her children, we have uniformly maintained 14 . t Ileace and liberty must go hand in hand in tran lellilk ing that country ; and that, to eradicate the CI, se* of bloodshed and rebellion, a French and Eng fo rce, adequate to the destruction of the Carlist awctiour ought to enter t h e P en i nsu l a, and at once e .el 3 ft om the Spanish soil the enemies of the Consti _iltb3n, arid of her Majesty Queen ISABEL w e. I ;vas :intervention, not co-operation, for whic LA h we . con t e h n4 c l ; and if at any time we lauded the conduct of e Minist ry i n aiding by co-operation the cause of an Queen o f S PAIN, it was because we trusted that 4 imperf ect co - operation on the part of so powerful and high- m i n d e d a nation as Great Britain would !ire co st certainly end in a successful intervention. We ntill of the same opinion, notwithstanding the mo tion which Sir HENRY LIARDINGE, on the part 1 of cor:servatives, pr o p oses to submit to the House btf Con/1010 to-night, and w hi ch we understand will be pressed to a division with a view to upset th e p se nt Cabi net. Th e mot i on we refer to stand s thus O ft h the O rder Book in the list of notices of motions ' o r this evening :--- p re " Sir H. Ha r di nge—to move t h at an humble address be sented to his Majesty, p ra yi n g th a t h is M a j esty will be L"I lII,Lci°II9IY pleased not t o r enew th e o rder i n counc i l of the hj June, 1835, granting his Majesty's royal license to B r i t i s h u sOects t to order i nlist into the some of the Queen of pain en council will ex ire on the 10th June next; and greying A l so , that-his Majestyp will be graciously pleased to give directions that the marine forces of his Majesty shall not be employed in the civil contest now prevailing in Spain, otherwise than in that naval co-operation which his Majesty has engaged to afford, if necessary, under the stipulations of treaty." We have no fears as to the success of this double attack upon the MELBOURNE Ministry and the Spanish Constitution ; and therefore we would be de lighted were some Honourable Member to sound the disposition of the House by moving an amendment to the effect that his Majesty be implored to send a land force to co-operate with his fleet on the Cantabrian coast. This would be the way to turn the weapons of the Tories against themselves ; for we are confident that such an amendment, if moved by any influential member of the Liberal party, would be carried by a large majority. Spain would hail such a vote of the British House of Commons as a sure earnest of her political and social regeneration, and she would at last exert her utmost energies to prove herself worthy of the immense interest thus taken in her pacification. Nor would such a step be either unnecessary or premature. Take it we must, sooner or later, if we would see the Constitution of 1812, as amended by the Cortes, become the political Magna Charta of Spain. The sacrifices we would be called upon to make would not be much greater than they are at pre sent ; and as to the apprehensions of a war with any of the Great Northern Powers who might actively espouse the cause of the Pretender, which a Morning Contemporary appears to entertain, we may dismiss them as the waking fancies of a morbid imagination. It would be idle to attempt to conceal from Minis ters the dissatisfaction with which the British people regard the system of co-operation adopted by France and England, in pursuance of the stipulations entered into by the signing of the Quadruple Treaty. The people of England are a frank, honest, plain-dealing race, who pretend not to understand, and in their hearts despise, the subtleties of a diplomatic system of policy. They are for decided and decisive mea sures—for peace or war ; but they know nothing of a state in which they cannot hope to achieve the glory of the one, nor reap the security of the other. Intervention they can comprehend ; and even what M. THIERS calls " translimitation," is only novel to them in name ; but the co-operation system is as un suited to the genius as it is above the capacity of four-fifths of the English people. The true policy of the Cabinet, therefore, consists, not in abandoning the co-operation system altogether, but in changing it into a system of direct and avowed intervention. We have advanced too far to recede without disgrace ; and to avoid subjecting Spain to the fatal consequences of an impertinent, because powerless interference on the part of a neighbouring State, we ought forthwith to advance still farther. Spain of herself cannot put a speedy end to the rebellion—Don CARLOS is already effectually excluded from the Spanish throne—and, therefore, we are called upon by every principle of an enlightened humanity, to put an end to the useless effusion of blood in the Peninsula. Sound policy—humanity—the very principles of re ligion, sanction a direct and avowed intervention on the part of France and England in Spain. " Admiral Rosamel, Minister of Marine."' Nothing sets in a clearer light the intrinsic strength of the claims of Ireland to be put on an equal footing, as regards the enjoyment of constitutional rights, with England and Scotland, than the total inability of the faction which insolently opposes itself to those claims, to bring forward a single objection which is worthy of being raised to the rank of an argument. The only resource of the writers who do the daily work of the Carlton Club, when they enter upon this subject, is mystification! They have just tact enough to keep the real merits of the question out of view, and to sub stitute in their room the offspring of their own ima gination, with which machinery they conjure up all sorts of dreadful phantoms before the eyes of the be wildered old gentlemen who, with spectacles on nose, pore over their columns. We find an ingenious lucubration of this kind in a Morning Contemporary which, though assuming in other respects a fashionable tone, has of late infused into its politics a vulgar coarseness more becoming the un scrupulous caterer for the appetite of the rabble, than the reflector of aristocratic proprieties. In the article to which we allude no attempt is made to show that there is justice in withholding from the Irish nation, as an integral part of the British empire, their fair proportion of constitutional freedom. The writer does not say that the Irish have no right to re formed Municipal Institutions ; but he thinks it would be dangerous to what he calls the Protestant Church, were these Institutions reformed. And how does he demonstrate this danger ? He does not point out a single result—he does not, because he cannot show how allowing the /people of Ireland to manage their own municipal concerns, as is clone in England and Scotland, would have a more dangerous bearing on the true interests of that fragment of the English Church which exists in Ireland, than the present state of things by which the said payment secures to itself the undivided and implacable hostility and hatred of every man who has Irish blood in his veins. Nothing of this sort is attempted to be done ; the writer confining himself to the easier task of firing off an ill-directed tirade against the Emancipation Act, which he regards as the rojt of all evil. He is above all things angry with Lord JOHN RUSSELL for stating that that Act had produced no other effects than might reason ably have been expected from it. This is no doubt very provoking to those who wish it to be believed that the Emancipation Act has proved a failure, and who would use it as a sort of beacon to warn the pub lic against conceding measures of justice to Ireland ; but we think that no reasonable man could have ex pected any other result than that which has taken place ; that is, a demand on the part of Ireland to have all those distinctions removed which have so long placed her citizens in a position of inferiority to those of England and Scotland. This constitutional equality was in fact the very soul and principle of the Emancipation Act ; and we in our turn assert, that if that Act had had the effect of reconciling the Irish people to oppression—of making them more insensible to injustice, or more submissive under injury and in sult it would indeed have been a—failure, and one much to be lamented. But when the writer in the Morning Post com plains of the ingratitude of the Irish for the concession made in granting the Emancipation Act, and the dan ger of following up such a precedent by further con cessions, he is endeavouring to mislead his readers, if he can find any simple enough to be so mis led, by what he must himself be aware is a great mispresentation. May we ask what there was in the granting of Emancipation that constitutes so powerful a claim on the gratitude of the Irish. Was it the readiness—tit , ' off-hand generosity, that yielded to the voice of justice the moment it was heard ? Or was it the confiding grace with which the boon was con ferred ? No. The people of Ireland long com plained and petitioned in vain, and might have been complaining and petitioning to this day, if they had had no other resource than the inherent justice of their claim. It was not until Ireland rose as one man and threw down her gage to England, that she ob tained the right for which she had as a suppliant sued in vain. She said to England, " iVly right, or war." The Duke of WELLINGTON and Sir ROBERT PEEL prudently declined the latter alternative. They yielded the right, and this is called a concession for which the peopl e of Ireland ought to be grateful—this measure which was extorted from the fears of the Tory Ministers is to be placed to the credit of their justice and their generosity. And then, again, as to the manner in which this boon was granted. Was it graceful ? was it con ciliatory ? Kas it such as ought to have made up for any shortcoming in the extent of the boon itself ? In the first place, as if Ireland were never to receive a be nefit without a corresponding injury, the whole of the 40s.freeholders were disfranchised at a blow. The upper classes of Catholics were admitted to a capacity—for it was nothing more—of holding civil offices, while the lower classes were deprived of an actual privi lege which they enjoyed. What was gained at the one end was lost at the other, and as if that was not sufficient to mark the animus of the Le gislature, it was deemed necessary for the gratification of a magnanimous S3vereign, that a personal insult should be offered in the body of the Act to the man who of all men had been most instrumental in accom plishing this deliverance for his countrymen ; and whom they held in the highest esteem. Thus a drop of royal malignity was infused into the cup, which turned its sweetness into gall ; and this it is that calls for the gratitude of Ireland I The whole of the Paris Journals of Friday and Sa turday have been received. The Moniteur contains no account of the reconstruction of the Cabinet ; but most of the Jotirlials publish the list of a Ministry which, according to them, has been approved of by the KING. It is as follows : " Count Mole, Minister of Foreign Affairs and President of the Council. " Count Montalivet, Minister of the Interior. " M. Barthe, Minister of Justice and Public Worship. "'M. Laplagne, Minister of Finances. " M. Salvandv, Minister of Public Instruction. " ' General Bernard, Minister of War. " M. Martin (du Nord), Minister of Ccminerce and Public Works. This is a ricketty affair indeed. Such a Cabinet may weather the storm in the Chambers for a week or two, but it cannot outlive the present Session, far as it has advanced. The Royal Retiarius has thrown his net to little purpose. Most of his entangled vic tims are already politically defunct. The army is in a fearful state of moral disorgani zation ; and we are not a little apprehensive that the means taken by a part of the officers to instil loyal sen timents into the breasts of the men will produce a re sult directly the reverse of what is intended. Accord ing to such of the Journals as contain any ob servation on this important subject, the aim of the officers who seek to be distinguished at the chatesu for the exhibition of an ultra-devotion to the reigning dynasty, is to sow the seeds of distrust of the humbler classes of the people in the minds of the soldiery, and above all to inspire them with a contempt for such as obtain their livelihood by the sweat of their brow. The French army is too intelligent to become the dupe of this stale trick of aristocratic despotism, which can only increase the distrust of the subalterns in the liberal pro fessions of the Government. The Siecle has the fol lowing article on the conduct of General RUMIGNY, Aide-de-Camp of the KING, which is not undeserving of serious attention : " Yesterday General Rumigny assembled upon the Espla nade at Viucenes his brigade, or rather division, composed of the 9th Light Infantry, and the 2d, 10th, and 60th Regiments of the Lino, and passed the quarterly review. " In the interval of some of the evolutions the General made an appeal to the loyalty of the officers and non-commissioned officers, recommending them to avoid public places and be on their guard, as anarchists were busily employed in endea ♦ouring to seduce the workmen and soldiers from their duty, and adding, that several of the latter had lately been assas sinated for having evinced a repugnance to join in those guilty projects. " On that evening all the pickets were doubled, and patrols traversed the saects of Paris from midnight to 4 o'clock. " But, should the public wish to know what all these 'assas sinations' amounted to, it will be amounted that the full extent was nothing more tha❑ a common public-house brawl, in which a soldier was slightly wounded by the knife of one of his own companions, whilst in a state of intoxication. _ . "Is it not, therefore, our duty to caution the n orking classes to be on their guard, and is it not evident to the most near sighted that a desire exists in certain quarters to excite a bad feeling between workman and the soldiers of the garrison ? But the promoters of these manoeuvres should also be on their guard, for they are attempting an awkward imitation of similar efforts tried in 1829 and 1830. The same observations were made to the troops at those periods, and the answer given to them during the July days was too well known to require any details upon that subject." The officers would perform a part less fraught with danger to the KING if they left the men to think for themselves on all questions unconnected with military discipline. The French soldier is a citizen, armed to defend his liberties and those of his country ; and not a hired mercenary regardless of every consideration but that of a pecuniary reward for his services. This, in some measure, is owing to the mode of levying troops in France, so different to the British recruiting system. The Moniteur Algerien of the sth inst. contains' FRENCH FUNDS —PARIS. APPIL 15.

Is and Army : " TO THE INHABITANTS OF THE FRENCH POSSESSIONS IN THE NORTH OF AFRICA. " The King has intrusted to me the government of the French possessions in the North of Africa. On arriving in this country I recal with satisfaction the part I took in its conquest. This recollection is a guarantee for the disposi tion I bring with me—that what I assisted in gaining I come to consolidate. The King will s th e p reservat i on of Algiers and in order to insure it wishes that everything should be. done to render it beneficial to France. His Government entertains the same desire, and will do all that is necessary to obtain this great object. We have long been compelled to tight in order to convey into all parts a just conception of our power, to prove that our arms were able to penetrate, wherever they were required t o p ro t ec t our f r i en d s an d pun i sh ' our enemies. This object has been fully accomplished ; and, although the influence of the French name in these countries requires satisfaction at Constantine, be assured the necessary preparations have been made to insure its attainment. Seven years of warfare and sacrifices must have their reward, and the moment is come for gathering the fruits of victory. To concentrate our force at the most important points—to establish ourselves at them as masters, absolutely and permanently—to deliver up the soil around us to cultiva tion, and thereby fix ourselves firmly in Africa—to encourage enterprise in individuals, by insuring them protection —to cover their works with an impenetrable circle of defence, enlarging that circle as their undertakings expand—to advance step by step with wisdom, and at the same time with utility and secu rity, making such advances only when by resolution we are sure of maintaining our ground —to create for the commerce of France and the south of Europe a new source of prosperity—to open to their ships commodious and safe ports--to offer for its commerce advantageous means of exchange, and every facility compatible with the conjoint interests of the mother country and tle colony—to render our domination mild and beneficial to the natives—to induce them to attend our markets —to give them a taste for industry, by insuring to them a I e ,vard for their labours—to instil into them a love of order—to attach them to us by their own interests—in a word, to cause a state of war to be succeeded by a state of peace, founded on those interests and on principles of justice, but at the same time on force—a benevolent and protective pacification for those who observe it, but menacing to those who attempt to violate it. This hence forth is the mission confided to the Administration of this coun try—a mission slow and difficult in execution, but to which I am come to devote myself. 3.

At all points I expect from the troops that ardour and con, tempt of danger which can alone insure success. If works of labour are to be performed, I rely on their docility and porseverance. At all times, and or, all occasions, I place my hopes on their discipline, their self-denial, and their love of order, and of their duty.

The following are extracts from the journals : Tbo Sentinelle dc Pyrenees of the 11th, received by ex press, confirms a fact which we have announced—viz., the ar rival of important sums at the head-quarters of the Pretender. " Last week," says that Journal, " a million in gold passed the frontior." We further see in the same paper, that on the sth there was an exchange of prisoners at Berres Plano. The Carlists were given in good condition, but the Christinos were in a wretched plight. The letters from Bayonne, of the same date, announce a complete suspension of military operations, in consequence of the bad weather. By a Royal Ordinance of the 14th, Marshal Count d'Lo bau, Peer of France, is confirmed in the post of Commander in. Chief of the National Guards of the department of the Seine. The Nfoniteur publishes to-day the comparative tables of the revenue fo:• 1837, and of that in 1835 and 1836, from which it appears that the receipt during the first quarter of 1837 was greater, by 3,121,0001., and less than that of 1836, by 1,746,000 f. BAYONNE, APRIL 13.—.. The mails from Madrid, Bilboa, and St. Sebastian, have not arrived, in consequence of the fright ful mass of snow which covers the mountains and the valleys. The Onate Gazette of the 7th has no news of the theatre of war. The Sentinelle des Pyrenees of the 11th says that General Seaone, who returned to Bilboa on the 2d, is to come back to St. Sebastian to take the command of a division. It adds —" There are 6,000 men (infantry) in garrison at Bilboa. The fortifications of that city are increased every day. A battery of four pieces of heavy artillery has just been placed on the height of Santo Domingo. The disorder which pre vailed in the city has considerable abated.--Journal de Com merce. Letters and papers from Madrid, to the 9th instant, have been received. The Cortes were engaged in dis cussing the articles of the Constitution, apparently finite indifferent to the outrages committed by the rebels in Valencia and Murcia, under the command of CABRERA and ESPERANZA. The capital continued tranquil. Brussels and German Papers have been received, but their contents are unimportant. The Austrian Observer has an article lauding the Czar of RUSSIA'S 2'encrosity to the Sublime Porte. The arrivals of both Grain and Flour last week were incon aiderable, and the Trade remained without alteration from the previous Monday. This morning there has bean a short supply of all descriptions of Corn. The weather is still cold and dry, which retards vegetation. Only a few samples of fine Wheat was shown this morning, which met a ready sale at one shilling per quarter advance on the prices of this day se'nnight. Other qualities are firm, at last quotations. Barley continues to experience a slow sale, and prices are unaltered. Beans firmly support their late "value. Peas of both kinds are rather dearer. Oats have net a small improvement on the terms of this day se'rinight. Flour remains dull at the last stated currency. rItICES ON BOARD OF SHIP. Wheat, Red (old) .4s. 62s Beans, Small (new) 330.425.

They arc now part'a ly esta blished at the expense of individuals, and by-and-bye, perhaps, we may get them on the old footing, and have the full benefit of reports of shipping approaching the Island. " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " W. Dobson, Esq., Secretary, Lloyds. J. BAKER." The Constantia, Dign, from Hambro', was totally wrecked at Vera Cruz during a heavy gale, on the 16th of February.

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) Cl7'Y, TWELVE 0' CL 0 CTC. We have received Montreal papers to the sth March, and Quebec to the 3d March. The Montreal papers do not contain any news of conse quence. The Quebec papers state that the weather during the last days of February and the first of this month had been more cold than usual at this season. The ice above Quay has again become stationary, and there is now every probability it will so remain, at least till the next spring tides. The Halifax papers of the 13th February state that the he gislature of Prince Edward's Island has committed three of its members for improper and illegal conduct at a public meeting, and refusing to apologize to the House for the same. Since writing the above we have received a Montreal paper of the 9th March. The Special Committee of the House of Assembly of Upper Canada, to whom was referred the cele brated letters of M. Papineau to the Speaker of the Upper Canada House, accompanying the ninety-two resolutions, have at length reported, and the result of their labour is, in their opinion, that had time been given to th e last House, the letter and the resolutions would have been unceremoniously returned to Mr. Papineau, and never have disgraced the jour nals of the Assembly. The Toronto Constitution of the Ist inst. says, that private letters contain positive assurances from a high quarter that the Canadas will be positively united during the ensuing Session of the English Parliament. (From the Singapore Papers to the 27th of November.) " PENANG MARKET.—OPIUM.—We have heard of the sale of eight chests exported per Attaran, at 725 dollars cash.

We have several arrivals this morning. Those from the East Indies are of old dates—the most important are those from America. From New York, it is stated, of the date of the 16th, that the scarcity of money was so great, that for dis count of Bills from 30 to 60 days to run, 2f to 3 per cent. were given monthly ; those of longer dates could not be discounted ; and many of the dealings in Bills of Exchange were upon credit. The Exchange on the 16th was 10 to 10i ; United States Bank Shares, 1161 and 117. No specie has been brought by either of the packets. The packet of the 16th brings a report of a failure at New Orleans to the amount of seven millions of dollars. Some accounts state, that the United States Bank had assisted the House. Two packet ships from New York still remain due—that of the 20th, for London, and 24th, for Liverpool—which are anxiously looked for, as it is expected they will bring im portant accounts.

Money is easy in the house, and good bills can obtain discounts. We copy the following from an American paper received this morning, the Evening Star of the 15th March, which de picts the present state of America in respect to their commer cial affairs ; " The daily express, 'which we always open with pleasure for its variety and intelligence, :in alluding to the specie, circular, says, usury is devouring the country.' This is a melancholy truth, and it is impossible that the country can sustain it much longer, when we hear of one mercantile house paying thirty thousand dollars for the last year, it does seem impossible to sustain that House under such burdens. As to the repeal of the specie circular, we cannot see how it is to be longer postponed. Congress, the supreme power of the country, ordered its repeal by an immense vote. " Affairs are rapidly coming to a crisis. The rich will be made poor, and the poor become beggars, if the Government is not interdicted from interfering in the money concerns. " Stocks have fallen ; Exchange rising ; living high ; every thing exorbitant ; and money scarce. Three cr four per cent. a month is paid for loani by the people, while 50 millions of their money are loaned to" Deposit Banks at 2 per cent. per annum, to swell the dividend of rich directors." THREE• O'CLOCK. Consols for the Account, 901 4. Mr. Mayo, in his amusing work, " The Philoso phy of Living," states; at an instance of the tendency of man, as well as other animals, to imitation, that, " if, when three or four persons are sitting at a table and engaged in conversa tion, you, seemingly without design,- take up the snuffers and slowly open them to the utmost, and shut - them several times, one or two of the party will immediately fall into an imitative yawn." A respite was received on Thursday afternoon at Chester for Isaac Davies and John Batty, the two convicts left for execution in that city. Madame D., the , :rife of one of the first performers in the orchestra at the Grand Opera at Paris, on returning home on Thursday night, found her infant smothered in the bed of it% nurse. The woman, horror-struck at the conse quene-e of her negligence, has fled. It is a matter of surprise that, in an island like this, ar.d a country so maritime in all respects, the art of swim :fling- should be attained by so few, comparatively, among its inhabitants. In the best days of Rome, this accomplishment 'was held to be an essential part of education s ; and " he has learned neither to read nor to swim," was considered as the highest reproach. COVENT GARDEN TnEATILL—On Saturday .a new one act piece was produced, with the somewhat cutin brous title of Modern Orpheus, or Music is the Food of Love. The story of this piece is -very oeasin g , and the arrangement • of the 'scenes and situalkns very skilful ; but the dialogue is a remarkable insUmee of an author not knowing how to treat his own subject.. The idea of an old artist retaining all the poetic feeling - is of his youth, regretting that his early friends have sunk.ir:c o mere oommon-place beings, and finally awaken ing in thr. l n their former and better dispositions. is purely pr.- thetic ; from no point of view can it be regarded in a ludi crow'. light. Yet the author having called his piece a farce, hax, laboured to make it comic, and put into the mouth of Du mont a number of puns, which, though smart in thcmselve,s, become actually disagreeable by their variance with the spirit of the whole. Fortunately, Farren and Mrs. Glover caught .this spirit ; the former was the beau ideal of an old romantic musician, the latter, instead of acting a meie farcical shrew, made it apparent that her harshness proceeded rather from youthful disappointment, than from any inhereia ill nature. The piece was - perfectly successful, and Varren was lencll called for at the fall or the ettrtaiu, • ~. _ 1,0 IN )RD COUNTY E COMMITTEE-( THIS DAT.) The Committee met to-day at twelve o'clock. Mr. TiIESSIGER addressed the Committee - in reply to the lengthened arguments of Mr. Wrangham, who contended tuat.? the registry should be opened, as was the ease m the Witti-4„; than, Cork, and Galway counties, where voters who had been improperly admitted by the Revising Banister were sui se v cfr ,, ek off by the direction of Committees of the He tse of Commons. . - Air. I nEssroart said the question of opening the regi?-4ry was one of the very utmost importance as to decisions of Cr, rri.. mittees ; little or no reliance was to_ be placed upon them, they were, to say the least of them, extremely 'contra/lin o; y. In this case the ComMittee had to decide,. not what ought to be the law, but what the law directed them to do. The In ik Reform Act placed the Revising Barrister a judge of the qu s ;ification of persons claiming to vote, and when he was satisfi :Ind'placed the parties' name upon the register, then the nal m must rer•:ain upon the roll. 'This might be right, or it mig be wrong, but the Legislature alone could interfere with .t. This Committee was a special Court, created for a special purpose, and they could not, and he was sure they would n avers ep their duty. • After a few words from Mr. \VRANGLIAM, strangers were c r dered to withdraw. ~~ ~~ ~~1~ HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.)

Mr. CRESWELL, in this case, which was heard before Mr. Baron Alderson, at the last assizes for Lancashire, moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict for the defendants shotxll not be set aside, and a new trial had, on the ground that the verdict was directly against the only evidence given in ti. e case. It was an action of trespass for breaking and entering g the plaintiff's close at Ulverston, where his house stood. TI e defendants pleaded a public right of footway, and the plaint ft admitted that right, but now assigned extra via. The actin n was brought for the purpose of putting an end to what U. .e plaintiff considered a system of annoyance occasioned by fot or five persons walking about up and down his grounds. Tt e right had been discontinued for several years, and there ha d been some proceedings at sessions before the Magistrates, wl, d,cided that there was a footway, the result of which was ti , a t the parties came and annoyed the plaintiff in that a my. The two or three witnesses called, proved that the.' de. fondants were walking up and down abreast, and four or five yards from the footpath. The Learned Judge left-th E S 3 two questions to the Jury, first, whether a trespass out of ti to way had been proved, and, secondly, what damage the plair tiff had sustained. He observed that if they believed the wii- nesses the trespass had undoubtedly been made out, and they e was nothing that could throw the slightest discredit upon the r testimony. But a powerful address having been made to tl ) Jury on behalf of the defendants, in which the eireumstane of the plaintiff being an attorney was particularly dwelt upon the Jury—as Juries will sometimes do--found a verdict for th. 2 defendants. The Cour,T would see Baron Alderson, and then conunur 1- cate its decision. NEWTON V. THE LIVERPOOL AND MANCHESTER RAILWAV COMPANY Mr. ALEXANDIR, in this case, which was tried at - Liver pool before Mr. Justice Patteson, and a verdict bad for tb plaintiff; damages 30/, moved for a rule to show cause why t nonsuit should not be entered, by leave of the learned Judg€ It was an action on the case, and the declaration contained to counts. First, that the defendants had wrongfully place and continued a gate across the public highway ; a n d t i n . on the 14th of Aug., the plaintiff was driving a carriag along the high road, and drove against the gate so improperl r placed there, by which he sustained injury in his person an , G property. The second count charged the defendants wit having erected the gate, and that it was their duty to keep it in a proper manner lighted, guarded, and watched, and tin's by reason of its not being lighted and watched the mischief happened. To this the defendants had pleaded not guilt-, and the two questions for the Jury were, as to the proper cot. struction of the gate across the highway, and secondly, as 1, the sufficiency of the light. The evidence in the case we; that the plaintiff, who was driving an omnibus, in endeavourhi . ; to avoid a carriage coming in an opposite direction, ran againi t the gate-post. None of the witnesses could say positive] r whether there was a lamp or not. The defence was, that th 2 Directors of the Company had erected the gate under tilt, authority of an Act of Parliament, and that therefore the; r were entitled to have 21 days' notice of action ; but it appeare(l that no notice had been given previous to the writ being seTved The Jury found for the defendant upon the first count, and i would be necessary to point out to their Lordships two Acts of Parliament referring to the point. The first was, the 3,1. Geo. IV., chap. 49, being the Act under which the Liverpoa and Manchester Railway was made, and the 27th rection pro vided that in all cases where the railway should cross the hi,l/1.. Kay on a level, good and sufficient gates should be erected un each side, which gates should be kept shut, except at such. tint as any cart, waggon, or other vehicle may require to pass. The next Act was the General Highway Act, 5 and 6 Wm. IV., chap. 30, section 71, and that required that the proprietor; should erect good and sufficient gates, and employ pers , ms attend to the opening and shutting of these gates, tn we'venk; danger or injury to the public. Lord DENMAN—Your rule is in arrest of judgment? Mr. ALEXANDEIt—YeS, my Lord. Lord DEsMAN—It seems to me you are entitled to it. CM the first ground it does not appear to us that notice was nece a sary, inasmuch as the gate was not ou the railway, but on ti e highway, which it was quite clear the Act of Parliament di d not warrant. The Jury, however, have found that the gat 5 was properly erected—l presume, on the gs'ound that it was great public benefit. Then comes the question of whethe on the second count the verdict was proper. It would sees from that count that the defendants had a right to erect th 2 gate, and the declaration merely says that it was their dot to leave a light. The Jury, by their verdict, having foun I that the damage was done by reason of their being no ligb.:, anal that being the only question to be discussed, it seems t me that the rule ought to be granted, for the purpose of hay ing that point decided.—Pule Nisi. TIIE KING V. THE TOWN CLERK OF CAMBRIDGE. Mr. Sergeant STARKIE moved for a rule in the nature of quo warranto, calling on the defendant, Charles P. Harris , Town-clerk of the borough of Cambridge, to show by +Ali t authority he exercised that office. Ile moved upon the afF.day; t of Charles Henry Cooper, Coroner of the borough of Cam bridge, and the grounds of his application were—first, t oat th,v defendant never was a Burgess, and was therefore inn: gable eP being elected ; and secondly, that he had neglect.A : to tak the oaths prescribed by the statute. The defendant, '.1a,1 mud I a very large claim (4,1470 upon the Corporation, fund,. for the loss of his office, and his deputy had claimed 2, 000/., an 1 the Corporation considered that probably the present wonl be the most convenient mode of trying whether or not thut de fendant had any title to the office. Because if. as it appe are to him," the defendant had iller,:tly exercised.the office, hes Wi3 not entitled to any compensat 4 .om.—Rule re.fused. BAIL COURT.

It was abow: a year since the new rules had been Toade, w'r.ich he considered! quite a sufficient time to cause. attornies to understand Q. meaning of three clear days., Should Knelt applications be made after Term, the er,esequvlee would be that the rie,yr rules:would become quits useless, and.letight be expunged. S far as he was concerned, he w'eS cleternained, from and after th application where the proper titn s present time, to refuse and had not been observed, and he had no doubt the other Learned Judges 'would as strictly adopt the same course.
