Various petitions haying been presented, The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the second reading of the Charitable Trusts Bill. Lord BROUGHAM suggested the propriety of postponin g the further consideration of the Bill until after Easter. The LORD CHANCELLOR consiOered it would be most de sirable to proceed with the Bill, the principle of which he at some length proceeded to vindicate. Lord CorrENH.tor complained that the Bill proposed to itself did to the Commissioners powers which t he Crown did not possess. Ultimately it was, agreed to postpone the second reading of the Bill, and their Lordships adjourned. The SPEAKEIt took the chair at four o'clock. Several railway Bills were read a second time, and ordered to be committed. Sir R. PEEL presented petitions in favour of the Govern• malt measures, with respect to corn and the tariff. Lord DUNCAN postponed his motion with respect to the window-tax till after Easter. Sir R. INGLI3 asked, pursuant to notice, when it was the intention of the Government to introduce the Bills, prepared bitheTreasury, for carrying out the recommendations of the 4th and sth reports of her Majesty's Commissioners for the improvement of the metropolis. Sir R. PEEL said the Bills were prepared, but his Noble litend (the Secretary for Ireland) feeling desirous to sea hem before they were introduced, they had been sent to him in Ireland, and they would be introduced immediately on their return. Mr. COBDIN presented petitions from the tenantry of Sir Jamics GRAHAM, at Netherby, in favour of the Government measure with respect to the corn-laws. The petitioners stated, however, that they would have preferred the imme diate and total repeal of the corn-laws. Six J. QUILUIP geatuniiis the debate on the 'second reading of the Corn Importation Bill, assured the House, with reference to the petition that had just been presented, that he had never interfered in the slightest degree with his tenants, upon the subject on which the petition had been presented. He was prepared on public grounds, notwith standing all the obloquy that had been attempted to be can upon him, to support the present measure, which, he felt as sured, would receive the sanction of Parliament. He was convinced that there was no ground for the alarm that had been expressed by several members for the results if the present measure was carried ; the value of land would not be decreased, the rents would be kept up, and the public mind would be set at rest upon the question. He was one of the trustees of land in Essex. and it was not until within the last three weeks that he and his co-trustees had been offered that rent for it which they thought it was worth. If it was to be supposed that the measure would have the effect of throwing land in the country out of cultivation, why, he would ask, should such individuals as Lord GEORGE BESeTINCK be found foremost in a project to recover land from the ocean? He denied the assertion that had been made that the famine in Ireland was totally without foundation, and that the greatest misrepresentation had been made with respect to it. The report of the Government Commissioners was not the first thing that alarmed him with respect to the state of Ireland, for his attention had been called to it by a letter of the 21st of October, from the secretary of the Agricultural Society of Ireland. Immediately up m receiving the infor mation the Government thought it their duty to revise the laws with respect to the importation of food, and the result of their revision was the introduction of the measure now before the House. The Right lion. Gentleman then read several letters for the purpose of showing that the state ments that had been made by the Government relative to the disease in the potato crop: had not been exaggerated, and from which it appeared that one-fourth of the crop was totally unfit for human food. Added to this, a deputation from Limerick had waited on the Lord Lieutenant at Dublin but a few days ago, to represent to him the alarming state of destitution and want of food that existed in that part of the country. The Right lion. Baronet concluded by warmly supporting the Bill, and assuring the Recorder of DUBLIN that he preferred his open hostility to his smouldering re• sentment. The Right Hon. Gentleman had cast the horo ' scope of the Government, had stated that he found they were falling, and he sat behind them in order to kick them because they were falling. Mr. STRUTT, the Marquis of WORCESTER, Mr. D. GARD NER, and Mr. MILDMAY, opposed the Bill, which was sup ported by Mr. BOUVERIE. The House was subsequently addressed by Sir R. PEEL, Mr S. O'BRIEN, and Lord PALMERSTON ; after which the House divided, when the second reading was carried by a majority of 88, there being 302 for it, and 214 against it. The House then adjourned. At one and the same moment Great Britain and America are placed in an attitude of considerable social and commercial embarra:ssment, by the lengthy discus sion of their legislators upon questions the importance of which is scarcely calculable. Nor is this feeling of in security, which shackles every mercantile matter, whether great or small, and which is alone consequent upon the procrastination of their Governments, modi fied in any way by the absolute impossibility of conjecturing the moment when the ques tions at issue will be brought to an adjustment. It is scarcely necessary to observe that their claims upon the Oregon territories, and their proposed alteration of the principles by which international trade has been hitherto conducted, form the two grand subjects of interest, and the two great causes of commercial stagnation both with the English public and the citizens of the United States. Our latest intelligence from New York, brought over by the packet-ship Montezuma, gives us the debate in the Senate of the 27th February, on which day speeches upon the Oregon question were delivered by Mr. WEBSTER and Mr. CRITTENDEN. Nothing could be more pacific, conciliatory, upright, or judicious than the sentiments expressed by these two senators. The transatlantic discussion, in short, upon this singular topic has assumed the colouring of Ralf- BRANDT ; more startling effects its chiaroscuro could not have been devised than have been afforded by the dark and belligerent oratory of Mr. QUINCY ADAMS, and the calm and luminous harangue of Mr. WEBSTER. Still it would)se infinitely worse than foolishness—it would be actually culpable—to swallow one or two almost solitary instances of good sense on the part of the more dispassionate among the American statesmen, as indications of the real spirit by which the inhabitants of the United States are actuated towards ourselves. An occasional drop of conciliation is immediately afterwards swamped by a perfect torrent of invective. Some few sensible thinkers amongst them are inclined to settle the matter now pending with all judicial quietude and integrity ; the vast majority, however, of their fellow-citizens are furiously bellicose and as furiously vituperative. We speak thus not upon mere assumptions ; the thing has been proved long since—arbitration has been rejected— an impertinent species of negotiation has been spoken of, but so manifestly absurd as to require no rebuttal— a negotiation coupled with a premise that nothing but a total cessation of the whole of Oregon will be accepted by the American Government! The fact has been long clear that most hostile sentiments towards England are rankling among a certain class across the Atlantic ; a spirit of animosity so intense as to blind that party to the injustice of their conduct, and to render them indifferent to the opinions of other na tions and of posterity. England comes for ward, on the contrary, with no rancorous thoughts of jealousy, with no undue wishes for aggrandisement ; her propositions for a submittal of the opposite claims to an unprejudiced tribunal, have been rejected with the most insolent arrogance, and the most depraved dis regard to common honesty. Beyond a certain limit of aggression, and beyond certain bounds of legislative decency, it is unwise for a nation to permit :any foreign power to proceed ;—to say the least of it, such a spirit of tolerance would be impolitic. Great Britain must not, cannot, will not, allow any external , authority to proceed beyond those recognised bounda ries without arising to assert her dignity, to defend her honour, and to chastise the belligerents. His tory records such as her invariable behaviour in si milar emergencies; history will record such till her glory is extinguished from the face of the earth. It is doubtless, from a recognition of this fact, that some among the most influential members of the Le gislature of the United States are endeavouring to allay a spirit of animosity so unconscionable, and to bring their countrymen to a better sense of their posi tion, as a civilized and Christian race, by appealing to their reason and to their better hearts. Whether the appeal will be responded to is very questionable indeed. The language of Mr. CEITTENDEN, the Senator for Kentucky, while it is sententious, is honest and humane. He deprecates any heated vi©w of the question ; ho requires eindour and cold blood for its consideration. "We sHould treat this subject," says he, " in a spirit more worthy of our selves." A little effervescence with him is allowable, it is coneeivaole—not to be carped at overmuch. However, it must be allowed to fritter itself away and ultimately —" our decision will be marked by temperance and justi Let Mr. QUINC Y A DAMS p on d er well over tensthe is . tee uttered by M r . C RITTENDEN; l e t hi m Il " think well on 't," in the words of a time-honoured adage; there is much that is applicable to himself in its allmion. " They who should involve their country in a needless war," exclaimed the Senator for Kentucky, " will bear responsibility heavy enough to sink a navy, sir!' The mode of expression alone is sufficient to authenticate the announcement; whether Mr. C RITTENDEN was equally justified in his subsequent declaration, that "a great majority of the Senate is anxious, they are all anxious, for peace," a division upon the question could alone have proved; but that division was not required previous to the departure of the Montezuma. We cannot refrain from transcribing the remarks of the Senator for Kentucky upon that arbitration which Mr. Pop had taken upon himself to refuse : " What a glorious homage" said he, "would this republic render to its own best principles by accepting the arbitration of a tribunal composed of men distinguished only for their talents, knowledge, science, and moral worth. That would tend greatly to the elevation of the age. Neither the steam boat, nor the mighty ship, which with wonderfully con trived machinery ploughs the ocean, defying as it were both wind and wave, is so wonderful in the world of arts and mechanics as in the great progress of science and civilisation would be the spectacle of such a tribunal. And after that great work to have proceeded from the hand of this free Government, from republican hands, how majestic the spectacle ! It would have been worth more to the world than all Oregon, if every inch of it would have been given to us; and the proud reputation and character that would have resulted from that, would have added to that national honour about which we talk so much, and which is the richest inheritance of nations, a fresh lustre that never would have faded away. It would have been far more valuable than any territory on the north-west coast of America." The address of Mr. WEBSTER was characterised by a ealm and philosophic spirit, in which he intimated his abhorrence of uneecessary warfare, and thus con densed his ideas upon the delay in the negotiations.—" I wish the country could be rid of the dispute. Take Oregon if you can get it, hut, at all events, settle the question between the two countries fairly and reasonably." It is only by a pe rs i s t ence i n t h ese p l a i n - spo k en an d r a tional opinions that the ridiculous pugnacity of some among the Americans can be purged away, and that a peaceful settlement of the Oregon claims can be arrived a t. Should the diplomacy of the Earl of ABERDEEN and the arguments of a WEBSTE R in the end d raw t h e m atter to that conclusion, they will have accomplished a great moral victory. _ A Bill, entitled " Turnpike Roads (Scotland) Bill," quietly passed through the House of Lords, and was brought to the Commons on the 19th of February. From the title of the Bill one would suppose that it might have reference to the great change to be produced on turnpike-road mortgages by the extension of rail ways, or to the mismanagement of the trusts, or the badness of the roads, or, in fact, anything but the real object of the Bill, which is nothing else ikan to abridge the comforts of the people of Scotland. By an Act passed in the reign of the late Jiuto, justices of the peace were authorised to grant licenses to toll-gate keepers to sell wine, ale, spirits, and other refreshments and provisions, for the use of travellers, on the recommendation of the road trustees, who, convinced of the great con venience and, indeed, necessity of such places of refresh ment, were not at all backward in granting recom mendations. This, it appears, has given offence to the religious feelings of certain parties, and they resolved, therefore, that a Bill should be brought in to prohibit for the future the sale of refreshments at toll-bars. Mr. Fox MALTLE had the management of the Bill in the Commons, and urged " the crying evils"—(among others the Gilmerton murder)—" which were proved to have been perpetrated by drunken and dissolute carters, pur chasing intoxicating liquors at the different toll-hoaxes on the Sabbath. But for that he should not have interfered in the matter." Mr. P. MAXWELL STEWART went a little farther, for he seemed to have some personal interest in the matter. " These turnpikes," he said, " were inaccessible to travellers who, like himself and other Hon. Members, were of a sober character, in consequence of the great accumula tion of carriers' carts around the toll-house, the drivers of which were inside drinking the worst kinds of spirituous liquors." These are certainly most incom prehensible reasons for the Bill in question, for the same events might occur at any public-house, and the very measure proposed would increase the evil by lessening the number of places of refreshment, and thereby creating greater crowds at such places of resort. We must, therefore, presume that there is some other reason in the back ground, and that the Agnewites are attempting to obtain by false pretences what they cannot obtain in a fair, open, and manly way. If public Order is disturbed at these places, have the justices of peace and the magistrates not sufficient power to punish of fences committed there, as well as offences com mitted at a public-house ? There is, in fact, neither reason nor common sense displayed in making this in road upon the convenience of the public, and it comes with the worst grace, and the worst policy too, from the Whig party. In Scotland the Whigs, much more than in England, were looked up to by the common people as their friends and protectors, and these very carters, spoken of so contemptuously by Mr. Fox Matreu and Mr. P. M. STEWART, would have been the first to appeal to them against the Tory justices ; yet, in this instance, they have allowed the Tories to assume their functions, and protect the poor against the tyranny of their old friends. One amendment proposed by the ex-Under-Secretary for the Home Departnient, places the matter in a clear light., lie moved that no toll-bar house should be licensed, if within five miles of a public-house, so that a weary traveller from the interior of the country, and when expecting to find refreshment on the public road, might have to walk for some three hours longer before he could get a glass of ale and a crust of bread. Why do not these religions men do as they would be done by ? Sir JAMES GRAHAM manfully set his face against this wicked scheme, the LORD-ADVOCATE followed his ex ample, and the Scotch Tory Members, to their credit, sealed its fate. It has recently been remarked in the House of Com mons, that the present age is characterised by its dearth of statesmen. No one can contemplate the politics of the current century without acquiescing in the truth of this observation. Compared with the galaxy of brilliant public men who presided over and guided our national councils towards the close of the past century, we have bad for the last forty years none (CANNING excepted) of the same intellectual stature, either to assume the helm or assist in navigating the vessel of the State. CANNiNG's attainment of the highest point of influence in this country was almost coeval with his death. His was felt to be an irreparable loss, and the suddenness of the blow gave a shock to our hopes that vibrated to the very extremi ties of our dominions. The sequel has justified the strength and accuracy of the national sensation that accompanied his descent to the tomb. In a thorough knowledge of the difficulties and dangers of the political ocean he sought to traverse, his mind stood without a competitor. He possessed the experience and the fore sight to predict and mark the coming storm. But, un fortunately, when he would have steered us in safety into the haven of civil and religious liberty, he was thwarted by his rivals for power, and fell a victim to grief, occasioned by the fierce opposition he had to encounter. As it was long before his accession to the office of Prime Minister, so has it been since his melan choly end, that this country has been without the in appreciable advantage of a statesman capable of suffici ently anticipating by legislation the various and nascent wants of our empire. The consequence has been, that the functions properly belonging to the rulers have been assumed by the governed ; and, in lieu of witnessing the elements of discontent destroyed by seasonable acts of the State, we have only beheld a series of graceless concessions, the immediate fruits of wholesale agitation. In this view the most valuable province of the executive—that of taking the initiative in all matters of legislation required by the growing wants of our countrymen, conformably ' with the new phases continually presented by the deve lopment of our extraordinary and vast resources—has of late years been altogether usurped. The Duke of WEL LINGTON proclaimed this fact in his speech of Monday, when he serially enumerated the different concessions we have made to Ireland, all of which have resulted from the force of agitation. But true as this is, does it not convey a great reproach to the political capacity of those who have, from time to time, by the offices they have accepted, undertaken to organize a healthier state of things ? The Duke of WELLINGTON drew the attention of Parliament to the frequent concessions granted of late years to Ireland, and yielded in a way he must have felt reluctant to confess, with the object of deterring the House of Ldrds from supporting Earl GREY'S address to the Throne. But, in order to have given weight to his counsel in the eyes of the country, his Grace should have shown, if he could, that the matters conceded had not worked well, or that being bad in themselves, they ought to be re pealed, and that only for the baneful effects of such extorted legislation, the state of Ireland would have been more favourable than what it is known to be. We look in vain, however, for even the shadow of an attempt at such an argument, and are consequently thrown back upon the inference that what has been wrought, albeit in an objectionable manner, have been SO many moves in the right direction, productive of partial, though very inadequate, good to Ireland ; and that had not the people combined and gained for themselves what the Imperial Parliament has at different times been so loth to surrender, it might now have been our lot to deal with consequences . far more fearful than those in which we are already in volved. The Duke of WELLINGTON himself advised the passing of the Catholic Belief Bill on the ground that to refuse it might provoke a civil war : his Grace's renowned career in other countries has led him, perhaps more than any other living man, to know that " Civil dissension is a vip'rous worm, That gnaws the bowels of the commonwealth." We have a high authority for believing that, had justice not been meted out to the Catholics in 1829, agitation would have plunged us into the horrors of internal discord. The Duke would be the last man to suggest the re-enactment of their civil disabilities. Then, if his own measure was good in itself, and the same can. be said of others that have since become the law of the land, does it not put a premium on agitation, and cast a slur upon statesmen living and dead, to ;re vive the recollection of the instrumentality by which its success was insured? The moral to be read from f the circumstances thus forced upon our attention is, that great as are the qualities with which our leading states men are undoubtedly gifted, they have nevertheless been grievously deficient in the chief qualification necessary for the satisfactory discharge of the duties that devolved upon them, by the high positions they have alternately occupied, and that if they wish to emulate their cele brated predecessors in office of the past age, they must anticipate, more than they have hitherto done, the elastic desires of the community at large, and, by a fore seeing wisdom, provide the machinery that will give a safe and healthy direction, under any circumstances that may arise, to the untiring energies and exhaustless in dustry of our hardy population. Ireland it is that now presents the field for exemplifying this coveted wisdom. For her relief some active and comprehensive measures are instantly required, and the only way in which we can hope to see agitation in that country successfully put and end to, is by the moat eminent men of all parties being animated by the same spirit that governed the con duct of our ancestors whenever they had to grapple with any prominent political evils. We have received Madrid journals of the 19th, from which we learn that the manifesto of the new Cabinet, the suspen sion of the Cortes, and the ordonnance for destroying the liberty of the press, had created a most painful sensation in the capital. It was currently reported that the proprietors of most of the journals had held a meeting to determine what course they should adopt under the circumstances, and that they had come to the resolution of suspending their publica tion for the present. On this subject the Eco del Comercio says, "It has been announced that the Eco dcl Comercio, the Espectador, and the Clamor Publico, will cease to be pub lished. As far as we are concerned, we shall appear until the Government prevents us." The Universal thus adverts to the new decrees The Ministry has suspended the Cortes without voting the supplies. Thia is the first step, and also the coup d'etat—the first re-actionary measure. This will of ou ro, by Wowed up ley other ikailar actiN sad, is a abort time Spain will find itself under the yoke of a Dictatorship as stupid as that of Rosis, and as violent as that of SANTA Amu." But NARVAEZ still finds supporters among the fighting men. On the 19th the Captain-General of Madrid, the inspectors of the army and navy, a great number of officers of all ranks, and all the officers of the garrison, went to the War-office to present their congratulation. to General NARTARA. The Bourse:was closed on the 19th, in consequence of the feast of St. Jour, but several private bargains wore made at higher price& Most of the Paris papers of Wednesday contain articles on the late extraordinary events which have taken place at Madrid, and unanimously denounce the conduct of the Dic tator. The Constitutionnd infers that these violent measures have not been taken without the tacit consent of France. "General Nenvira.," it says, "was the natural instrument of the Palace conspiracy. We fear that the representative of France was aware of it from the beginning, and that he rather seconded than arrested the movement which was in preparation. For a long time the Parliamentary men of Spain complained of the intimacy existing between our Am bassador and General NAnVAEZ, and of his leaning towards the theories of arbitrary power in Spain. Many persons have been struck in France with the manner in which our Ministry was made acquainted with the retreat of the Spa nish Cabinet and the accession of NAIVVAEZ several days before the fact had taken place." The Prase, considered the organ of Queen CM:MINA, after condemning, in strong terms, the coup d'etat, thus draws the character of BIABOA, appointed political chief of Madrid : " This man, General Balboa, has passed before a council of war accused of more than 80 crimes, for each of which he was deemed worthy of death. We shall mention only two. Sent to La Mancha, at the period when Palillos was devas tating that province, he had arrested in a mass all the persons suspected of Carlism and all the relations of the persons serving in the army of the pretender. The prisons were encumbered. One day he gave orders that lots should be cast for the prisoners to be first shot Among those oa whom the lot fell was a little child five years of age. The officer in command informed Generel Balboa of the matter, adding that be supposed it was lot his intention to shoot a child of that age. 'lf he is not shot in two hours it is you that shall be shot in his place,' was the reply of the General. An hour after the child came out of prison. To bring him before the platoon charged with the execution an orange was thrown, and it was whilst pursuing it that the child fell pierced with four bullets. Another day, General Balboa had a woman shot who was more than eight months gone with child. A. accoucheut was present, with orders to save the child when its mother was dead. A servant of the General, a negro freed at the Havannah, publicly made the following declara tion I do not recoil at a small matter : I have eaten human flesh I but I declare that it was impossible for me to endure any longer the horrors committed by my master.' Such is the man who has just been nominated Prefect of Madrid. The most dreadful events may be expected, the Ministry standing alone against all parties." Even the Univers, the organ of the High Church party, though NARVAZZ and CHRISTINA, are bent on reconciling the Spanish Church to Rome and restoring the clergy to their former power, cannot reconcile itself to this " opera tor of coups d'etat, who places virtue in his sword and and nothing else." The aceounts received from Poland are of a melancholy character. The Russian Government had commenced the work of punishment in the most fearful manner. Several leaders of the insurrection at Siedlee had been tried by a court-martial, condemned, and executed. The Universal Prussian Gazette publishes the following account taken from the Warsaw Courier, but it gives no date : " The undermentioned is the result of the investigation set on foot owing to the events at Siedlee, and the arrests of various persons r-- . 1. That a conspiracy took place with ramifications in the Polish provinces. " 2. That the head of the conspiracy, Bronislas Dombrow ski, sent from Posen, was chosen leader of the conspiracy on the right bank of the Vistula. " 3: That the principal abettors were Pantaldon Po toski, Stanislas Koeischewski, Ladislas Zarski, Jean Lytinski, Michel Mirezki, and Anthony Deskur. The agents and accomplicess of Dombrowski were Stephen Dobrytsch and Charles Ruprecht. All these indivi duals, brought before a council if war, have been found guilty of rebellion and sedition. According to the powers intrusted by his Majesty the Emperor, the Prince-Governor, after sentence of death was pronounced, has ordered Potozki, Kseischewski, and Zarski to be hung, the first at Siedlee, the other two at Warsaw. As regards Dobritch and Ruprecht. their sentence is to be commuted on the scaffold to banishment to Siberia, with a loss of all their rights, Mirezki and Deskur are deprived of all their rights, and share the same fate as Dobritsch and Rupreeht. Lytinski, who showed a thee repentance, is equally banished to Sibe ria, with the loss of all his rights, after receiving 500 stripes. The law to enter into full force, as regards the confiscation of their property, according to Art. 178, book let of the mili tary criminal code. As regards any property falling to them by inheritance it will be judged according to Polish law. This sentence was fulfilled the following day at ten a.m., in front of the citadel, with the exception of Potozki." The official Gazette of Vienna contains the following de cree of the EMPEROR, pronounced against the family of Prince CZARTORMIKI, now residing at Paris :—" The EMPEROR hav ing learned that the Prince CZARTORIERI had declared to a deputation of Poles in Paris that he approved of the insur rection in Poland, has ordered the Aulic Council to prohibit the Prince CZARTORISKI, the Princess, and their descendants, from disposing of any property, landed or personal, they may possess in the Austrian States, or receiving any revenue arising therefrom, until further orders." The closing prices of the funds and railway shares on the Paris Bourse on Saturday, were given in The Sun of yester day. BITSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT TEE LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE, Marten 26.

SCENE OF THE SEAT OF WAR ON THE SUTLEJ. For the convenience of those who take an interest in the deeds of our gallant troops, and their equally gallant auxiliaries in India, we publish this day a sketch of the country on the banks of the Sutlej, now rendered famous by three great victories. It has been laid down by Mr. Wryld, of Charing-cross, so well known for his skill and accuracy as a geographer, who has devoted much attention to the subject, and spared no pains in ascertaining the localities of the principal towns and villages mentioned in the Government dis patches. It will be found extremely useful in reading the accounts of the late battles, as well as those which we fear are yet to take place. Taz LATE Ma. LOUDON.—We are happy to learn that a pension for life of 1001. per annum ha■ been granted by her Majesty to Mrs. Loudon. Sir Eotert Peel has just communicated to Mrs. Loudon this act of beneficence. To her it will be doubly grate ful, as it is conferred in consideration of her deceased husband's labours and writings on subjects of natural science. THE PEERS AND FREETRADE.--A umeting of Peers, very numerously attended, took place on Wednesday, at the Clarendon Hotel, at which it was unanimously resolved to op pose, by every constitutional means, the progress of the Government free trade measures in the House of Lords.—Post. • - ILLUMINATION.—On the occasion ofhis Royal High am Prince George of Cambridge's birth-day, Mr. Turner, goldsmitk and jeweller, had a magnificent star of Brunswick, with the imperial crown. _ _ IHE ALLEGED MURDER AT BETHNAL. GREEN.— On Thursday Mr. Baker held en inquiry at the Hare Tavern, Cam bridge Heath-road, on the body of Mrs. Rebecca Zabel, who, it was alleged, had died in consequence of ill-treatment by her husband, when, after a protracted investigation, the jury returned a verdict of died from natural causes. WONDERFUL ESCAPE.—On Wednesday morning, about noon, as a lad, named Benjamin Goodwin, twelve years of age, an apprentice to a law stationer near Chancery-lane, was returning from Parliament-street, Westminster, he got up behind a cab, and rode. On arriving opposite Agar-street he alighted, and was cross ing the Strand, when he was knocked dawn by a Blackwell omnibus, and the fore-wheel of the vehicle completely passed over his body between the shoulders and waist. He was at once conveyed to Charing-cross Hospital, when it was discovered, to the astonishment of the medical gentlemen who attended him, that not a bone in his body was broken, and that he hail sustained only a momentary sus pension of his faculties. His escape from instant death is extraordi nary, more particularly so when it is known that the omnibus was at the time filled with passengers. DARING ROBBERY.—Wednesday information was for warded to the police of a most daring robbery, committed at Mt. Haresford's, 21, High-street, Marylebone, the thieves effecting an entrance early in the evening, and carrying off thirteen coats, in the pocket of one there being four 5/. Bank of England notes, forty waist coats, and about twenty-eight pair of trowsers ; as well as a writing desk, containing cash, jewellery, diamond rings, &c. GROWTH OF CORN IN RUSSIA.—There are many con tingencies agatnit the growth of heavy crops of corn in Russia, and amenget them the severity of the drought, which upon the stiff lands at times quite impedes the plough and prevents sowing the crops until the spring, and then the season is so short, that the rapid growth operates against the yield. Of this, hi conjunction with the sudden change the grain itself undergoes, from a green and milky state to that of a hard and ripened one, I could hardly have formed the re motest idea, had I not witnessed the fact in my journey from At. Petersburgh to Moscow, by examining many of the corn fields. The straw was then perfectly green and the grain in a milky state, and so satisfied did I feel that I should quit that part of Russia before harvest, that I wrote to England regretting the circumstance; how ever, to my utter astonishment, on returning the same road nine days afterwards (14th of August, 1842), thousands of acres were cut, and some carted and thrashed for seeding the land for the next crop, which should be put in before the latter end of that month.—Rough Notes of a Farmer during an Agricultural Tour. MERCHANTS' AND TRADERS' ASSOCIATION, FOR THE PROSECUTION OF SWINDLERS, AND OTHER PURPOSES, FOR THE PRO TECTION OF TRADE, 101, WOOD-STREET, CHEATSIDE. — A large party of influential gentlemen, Members of this Asseciation, dined together at the London Tavern on Wednesday. Sir James Duke, M.P., the President of the Society, was in the chair. Several excellent addresses were made in the course of the evening, by the President, Solicitor, Secretary, and Members cf the Committee, setting forth the advan tages which the subscribers derived from the working of the Associa tion. The funds were stated to be in a prosperous condition, and the Society was represented to be daily increasing. The proceedings of the evening appeared to be highly satisfactory to the members, and there was some excellent singing by Mr. Taylor and his party. The company separated about eleven o'clock ß . MUTILATED LETTERS. WECK OF THE GREAT LIVERPOOL.—So saturated and mutilated were the letters and news papers washed from the wreck of the Great Liverpool, that it was with the greatest difficulty the executive officers of the General Post office could make out any of the addresses upon them, and even up to last evening (Wednesday) the whole of them had not been disposed of. As a precautionary measure, and for the purpose of preventing complaints from parties to whom the letters might in any case be delivered, the authorities have had a special stamp struck upon such letters, notifying that such lettor or newspaper was "saved from the wreck of the Great Liverpool.'' LAUNCH OF A NEW IRON STEAM VESSEL.—Wednes day, a new iron steam-vessel was launched from the building-yard of Messrs. Ditchburn and Mare, at Blackwell. It was built by those gentlemen for the Norfolk Steam Navigation Company, a proprietary composed of the principal shippers, merchants, and tradesmen resi dent in Yarmouth and Norwich, and their respectives vicinities, be tween which places and London she is intended to ply, in place of the Ailsa Craig, which vessel has, in conjunction with the General Steam Navigation Company's vessels, hitherto occupied that station. She is a very handsome vessel, her length overall is 165 feet, extreme breadth 22 feet, the present draught of water only three feet six inches, and when fully laden with cargo, computed to be less than seven feet, so that she will have the advantage of entering and leav ing Yarmouth harbour at any time of tide.

CITY, THURSDAY EVENING, TIMES.—The purchases of the Government broker to-day amounted to 21,0001. Consols on account of the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt, and 5,000/: on account of the savings-bunks. The anxiety and excitement among the holders of railway shares are such as to make it difficult to convey a just idea of them to the public at large. To sell any shares connected with the new lines has become almost impossible at any sacrifice, and that only relief that the greater part of holders now hope is, the throwing out of the Bills before Parliament, and the rendering an account of the funds that remain unappropriated. This feeling exists even with respect to those lines which a few months back were regarded as the most promising, and the men of pro perty who happen to have embarked in such undertakings find themselves considerably worse off than adventurers without capital, since they foresee that in the event of Bills being obtained, the weight of the whole concern must be thrown upon them. Probably there is not a single new Company at this moment—and this is the opinion of some of the most experienced brokers of the Stock Exchange—in which the majority of the shareholders would not vote for abandonment. This opinion has nothing to do with the merit of the respective undertakings, but arises from the persuasion teat too much has been attempted at once, and that sufficient capital is not to be found In the country for this mode of employment. By a singular revo lution in public opinion connected with these undertakings, even the illegitimate and doubtful schemes, which were so plentifully brought forward at the close of last year, are looked at . comparatively with envy, for in these is seen at least the limit of loss, while in others of a different class, if they are forced on in the present adverse state of the money market, the prospect is but one of ruin and con fusion spread over a long series of years. The public of this day have probably forgotten what occurred with the build ing of Waterloo-bridge, for which purpose a first, second, and even third capital was raised (since the undertaking, once begun, could not be abandoned), now all annihilated except the last, and that producing a very small and inadequate return indeed. Something akin to this must happen with railways which are imprudently urged on in the present situation of affairs, and this is the apprehension which is now producing so very unpleasant a feeling with.all con cerned. They now look to Parliament as the only source of relief, end to Mr. Morrison's Committee, in particular, for an early introduction of the subject to the consideration of the Legislature. Members of Parliament who are also members of railway committees, cannot be too strongly im pressed with the fact, which we now desire distinctly to convey to them, that the boon most desired on ther part by the parties connected with railways is, that their Bills may not be passed, but may be strangled in the birth. There is a rumour in the City that the Government are about to send 3,000 troops to India, and that the tenders for their conveyance will appear in about a week. Several of the smaller shipowners have for some time past anticipated an event of the kind, and hence it is said that more ships are in readiness for the service than has generally been be lieved. A statement has been furnished of file exports of the Brazilian provinces during the year 1844. The total value of these is about 7,500,000/., nearly two thirds of which may be assigned to the items of coffee and sugar. On account, however, of the heavy differential duties on the former, and the total prohibition of the latter, very little of either reaches this country, the coffee being principally shipped to the United States, and the sugar to the European continent and the Mediterranean. The result is, a considerable lois to the merchants, manufacturers, and shipowners of this country. For the exports of British manufactures to Brazil the returns Are mostly received through indirect channels, which on the one hand are very expensive, and on the other are to the ex. elusion of British shipping. It may not be generally known that several commercia bodies in England have sent addresses to similar paities America, on the subject of the threatened interruption to the peace of the two countries. Some of these have been an swered from the United States; and we subjoin one sent from Plymouth in Massachusets, to Plymouth in Great Britain : "RESPONSE FROM NEW ENGLAND PLYMOUTH. "Te the Hon. the Mayor of Plymouth, England. "Plymouth, Massachusetts, Feb. 27, 1846. " Sir,—l have the honour of transmitting to you a copy of a response to the Friendly Appeal from the Inhabitants of Plymouth, Great Britain, to the citizens of the United States of America, for the purpose of averting war between the two countries,' adopted at a large and general meeting of our citizens. Your address, with others, reached us on a day when we had proposed a public discus-ion upon the general subject of peace, and the possibility of a pacific settlement of all national controversies; and it was a sign of hope, boti for the present and the future, to hear these voices of love sPe. l 4ng to us across the ocean. We rejoiced in them all, but to youxtown we were impelled to give an immediate re ply. Nothing s's...s to us more beautiful, and nothing can do more to insure amity btween us, than these interchanges of friendly feeling and Christian .ympathy. Your addres , bears date one month ago to day, and 11 ..Acho to its friendly pleading in a few days will return to you. L t the olive branch be thus carried from both sides of the Atlantic by th e quick messengers traversing its waters, and the rumours of war which have startled us shall only become the means 01 cementing U 3 for ever in the bonds of peace. "I transmit also a copy of one of our papers, containing a brief notice of the proceedings of our meeting. And as no paper has reached me, giving the names of the signers to your appeal, I am obliged to address yourself solely as the magistrate of your town, instead of directing to you also personally by name. " With must ardent wishes for the triumphs of the pacific principle, now and at all times, " I am, Sir, with great respect, " Very truly yours, " GEORGE W. BRIGGS. " His Honour the Mayor of Plymouth, Great Britain." "A RESPONSE TO THE FRIENDLY APPEAL FROM THE IN HABITANTS Or PLYMOUTH, GREAT BRITAIN, TO THE CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, FOR THE PURPOSE OF AVERTING WAR BETWEEN THE TWO COUN TRIES, BY THE INHABITANTS OF PLYMOUTH, MASSA CHUSETS. • "Friends and Fellow Christians,—More than 225 years ago, pilgrims from England gave the name of Plymouth to this spot, because Plymouth was the last town they, left in their native laud, and because they received many kind nesses in their need from some of the Christians there. Your friendly appeal at this juncture of public affairs, read at a large meeting, convened for the discussion 'of the prin ciples of peace, convinced us that the sympathies of feeling in that former generation have suffered no decay by the lapse of time. A kindred spirit beats in the heart of Ply mouth, in Old England, and its daughter in Massachusete, at this day, and although your appeal was not particularly addressed to us, we are impelled to give it an immediate re sponse. " We respond with unfeigned fervour of heart to all your words of love. We deem war in every case as an unutter able calamity. But a war between two nations so advanced in civilization and Christian feeling, as your country and ours, we should regard with especial horror and anguish of soul. We are descendants of one stock, children of the same household. We have been nourished at the same great fountains of literature and learning. We have been baptised in the same great faith. We are brothers in the flesh— brothers in mind—brothers in Christ. Both nations, too, are plainly called to great duties and great destinies, in the un foldings of Providence—duties and destinies which can alone be fulfilled in the reign of peace. The only strife between us should be the noble emulation to see which may do most for the advancement of civilization, the progress of the world, by diffusing and perfecting the arts, the knowledge, the freedom, the purer religion, possessed by the Anglo-Saxon race. For two such nations to fail to settle amicably a controversy like that now existing between our respective Governments, and, therefore, to become desolated by the calamities, and cor rupted by the countless crimes of war, seems to us a sin alike against natural affection, the leadings of Providence, and the Redeemer's law of love, without defence or palliation. It Great Britain and the United States cannot amicably settle their present controversy, the friends of peace in the world may almost despair. "We rejoice that it entered the hearts of our brethren in England to send these friendly addresses over the ocean. We hail a movement so eminently Christian as full of promise. The boundary lines of nations could neither alienate nor separate them in heart, were the friends of peace thus to ex tend to one another the hand of fellowship and love. Nations would begin to see and to flow together.' Surely no war could be possible between our respective Governments, now or at any time, if the lovers of peace in either land would continually send the olive leaf across the waters is these appeals and responses of Christian feeling and Christian sympathy. The ambitious and wickedly-aspiring in both countries, who attempt to stir up strife, would be met by a moral power they would be compelled to obey, even though it did not remove the evil purpose from their hearts. We join you in your prayer, and your labours, to avert war between our respective Governments, and to secure a present and an everlasting amity. "'ln the hope that our response to your address,and through d you, to all our brethren in England moved by a k spirit, may contribute something to the end ss n - d frieeamefuptueaale, l e y desire to secure, and that the labours of the here and there, may be crowned with entire success, "We remain your friends, "GEORGE W.
