The Loan CHANCEL Lon took his seat upon the 'Woolsack at Five o'clock. Various petitions were presented. The Earl of ST. GERMANS moved the reconsideration of the report on the Irish Pacification Bill. The ' LORD CHANCELLOR then formally moved the amendments w hich had been agreed to on Tuesday. The Earl of CLANCARTY wished to know whether witnesses w ho were cognizant of crimes would be com pelled to give evidenze or not. He put that question to the Noble and Learned Lord opposite (CAMPBELL). Lord CAMPBELL, who had only occupied the situation of Chancellor of Ireland for an instant, would r:teom mend that the question should be put to the Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack, who had been Lord Chancellor during three reigns. The LORD CHANCELLOR did not feel bound to answer the question. Lord 6TOURTON urged that every person who wat going to fetch a priest should under all circumstances be exempt from arrest. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that no one could doubt that a person going to fetch a priest to attend a sick man was out on his lawful occasion, unless he was a cri minal, when under the existing law he was liable to be apprehended. The report was then ordered to be received, and the third reading of the Bill was fixed for this day. Earl GREY gave notice that he should, on Monday week, move an address to her MAJESTY ost the subject of Ireland generally. The Earl of DALHOUSIE rnoyed the suspension of standing orders requiring the Select Committees on Railway Bills to take evidence as to the traffic of the districts through which they passel—Agreed to. Their Lordships then adjourned. There being only thirty-four Members present at four o'clock, the House of Commons adjourned. The House of Commons took holiday yesterday for the first time this session, there being, not altogether, we pre sume, without management, "No House" at four o'clock. The most important business on the paper was a motion of Mr. MORRISON's for a Committee to inquire " whether, with out discouraging legitimate enterprise, conditions may not be embodied in Railway Acts better fitted than those hitherto inserted in them to promote and secure the interests of the public." We conclude that the untoward event of yester day will only have the effect of postponing Mr. Monrasox's motion. Not that we agree by any means entirely in Mr. MORRISON'S views, as he has explained them in his published pamphlet; but the subject is one of very great importance, and we anticipate much benefit not only from the labours of a Committee, but even from debate in the House of Commons, where 11.1 r. MORRISON'S views will be modified and corrected for the public by other Members of equal authority on such subjects. Mr. MonnisoN's chidobject appears to be to procure the intervention of the Legislature for a great reduction of rail way fares. Through such a reduction he hopes to administer a great check to railway speculation ; and he seems to believe that this, and this only, is the way to check the speculation. Now, at first starting their seems to be a great inconsistency in Mr. MORRISON'iI reasonings. He recommends a reduction of railway fares to railway companies as likely to produce even an increase of profits ; and there is no doubt that, within limits, such would be the result of reduction. It has been found to be so in practice : and, in the last two or three years, there has been, on the part of almost all the great established companies, a gradual reduction of fares for the sake of increasing profits, and profits have been in creased. How then is this reduction of fares to diminish speculation ? Mr. Moealso:4 says, by the reduction of pro fits. And here is his inconsistency, Now with regard to the diminution of speculation in rail ways, we suspect that the time has gone by for Parliament to trouble itself about it. Parliament might have interposed last year with advantage : if it had then interfered judi ciously many of the evils of the railway excitement of last autumn might have been prevented. But the mania was allowed to go on unchecked, and it has, we believe, now worked its own cure. There is an end of excessive railway speculation. The railway share-market is now suffering from a reaction. To diminish speculation is not now the object for Parliament to strive at, but to mitigate the evil consequences of speculation which has already existed in excess, and to prevent as much of suffering as can be prevented from the railway mania of the last autumn. This appears to us to be the extent to which Parliament should interfere ; and to this extent, and for this purpose, it deeply behoves Parliament to interfere promptly and with vigour. We have observed, with regret, in the progress of the Railway Committee, appointed at the instance of Sir llosEnT PEEL at the beginning of the session, a complete departure front the principles laid down so clearly and ably by Sir ROBERT PEEL in moving for its appointment. We cannot see on what principle the interference recommended by Mr. MORRISON is to be made—on what principle the rates are to be adjusted—except on the commercial principle; and by that principle the companies themselves would be guided, and that principle will not suffice for Mr. MORELSON'S ulterior object of diminishing the inducement to invest in railways. Interference on any other principle would be unjust and impolitic. All direct interference with rail way speculation, as with any other speculation, we repudiate. But there is a mode in which Parliament might earlier have guided railway speculation with advantage, and may yet materially smooth difficulties for those who have impro vidently embarked in the excessive speculation which has existed, and that is, the adoption of some principles of selec tion in dealing with the railway schemes which are brought forward. Notwithstanding Sir ROBERT PEEL'S emphatic warnings as to the amount of capital already authorised to be raised for railways in the next three years, and the immense addition which would be required for the schemes of the present year (allowing in all cases for only one out of any number of competing schemes being passed), the Railway Committee appears to have flown entirely in the teeth of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S recommendation, and Par• liament is about to submit all the schemes which have come before it to separate Committees, as before, to be dealt with in separate groups, and without any comprehensive view taken of the various degrees in which different dis tricts want railway accommodation, or comparison be tween one group and another. Sir ROBERT PEEL'S plan did not involve the rejection of any railways, but merely the postponement of many. When we consider the immense number of railway schemes now before Parliament, the im mense amount of capital which will be required, and the practice of requiring in the Act the completion of the rail ways within three, five, or at most seven years, to one will say that the simultaneous construction of such a large amount of railways can be viewed without apprehension. We look forward with interest to the discussion on Mr. Mon- RISON'S motion, principally to ascertain whether Sir Roma Plum's views have undergone any change, and whether the Government will abandon their desire to limit the annual expenditure on railways, in consequence of their having been left in the lurch by the Committee. We have never con templated any close or illiberal limitation of such expendi ture; but a large limitation of the expenditure at present proposed might be made, and the Government be on' the safe side. The returns moved fur by Sir ROBERT PEEL, and presented to the House of Commons on Monday, relative to British shipping, exports of manufactured goods, Customs' duties, silk and woollen manufactures, and revenue commercial sources, of which we gave an outline yesterday, form per haps the most important and satisfactory document ever laid before Parliament. They show how much trade was ham pered by the old prohibitive system, and point out, in the clearest language, the absurd principles of those statesmen who considered that revenue could be obtained only by im posing high Customs and Excise duties, and that protec tion was the only means of encouraging domestic manu factures. On looking at these tables, we find that a striking change began to take place shortly after the period when Mr. HussassoN, after many vain attempts, and long conviction of their nececessity, introduced only partially free-trade measures. Since then an in crease has taken place in almost every department, though the plan was still defective, and the Minister's views were not halt' adopted, but when brought into full play, when fir ltornurr PEEL boldly ventured on the grand experiment, and gave the favourite principles of HUSKISSON a fair chance, the soundness of his views was confirmed by facts, and the very protectionists themselves stood astonished to find all their dismal forebodings falsified. The shipping interest 'was among the loudest in its complaints. The Americans, they said, were ruining the British trade, and in a few short - years the strength and glory of England would be gone, her seamen and her shipping would diminish to those of a third rate maritime power, and all this owing to the wild theories and visionary schemes of a man without practical knowledge. What has been the result ? In 1820 the number of vessels belonging to the several ports in the British empire was 25,374, and the men and boys employed in navigating them amounted to 174,514. For several years these numbers con tinued to fall off, but when the changes had time. to come into operation a great rise took place, and in 1844 the num bers had increased fully one-third, for the number of vessels had risen to 31,320, and the hands to 216,350. The tonnage during that period had been increased also to the extent of one million of tons. Foreign vessels carrying on trade with this country bad increased in still greater proportions. The slumber, for instance, of all vessels entering British har bours in 1832 was 14,627, and the tonnage '1,497,893, while, in 1845, they amounted respectively to 23,859, and 5,023,588, the tonnage thus being more than doubled. The exports from the United Kingdom had consequently increased B cr l ea 2 s 7 ed w in as n a e 6 ar ,s ly 6o, a 3 n 76 equal proportion. The real or de !land value of na ti ve produce and manufactures exported while in 1844, it had increased to the enormo us amount of 58,584,2921. According to the protectionists, the silk trade was to be ruined by HusiossoN's wild scheme, and the po s o u r ff Sp . italfields: wea up iin other ad n e o n t ags quarters toh wea vers for many years attributed all their is evil geniis:. But the trade sprung where the baneful influence of monopoly alighted, t, and while, in 1826, two years after the partial alteration, value of British silk goods exported was 168 871; th e ' 1845 it had risen to 764,424/., or about 450 per cent. whenP price the of impulse given to the woollen trade was equally remarkable. In 1824 the number of pounds imported both fro m th e colo tniilees best an d Southdown countries was ti e 2 p 2 0 0 u 6 n 4 d ,4 . In a n l d B4 t 4 he , import duty was abolished, the price remained still at Is. 2d., and next year the price of domestic wool rose to 15.4 d., though These not less than 76,82 8 , 152 1b 5. were imported. are truths not to be disputed by any casuistry of the RICHMONDS and BUCKINOIIAMS, and NEWCASTLES ; and it' any two facts are snore palpable than others in the range of human knowledge, these two are, that the price of cattle has increased (and 14 still increasing) since foreign cattle were admitted at next trV+ a nominal duty, and that since the duty on foreign wool was abolished, British grown wool has risen in price.

All that appears to us exceedingly hasty and puerile. In all things, as common sense suggests, the end ought to be con sidered. It is not sufficient to revolt for the holiest of causes. It must further be examined if the insurrection will be useful or fatal. It will be useful if it is sufficiently well combined to succeed ; it will be fatal if it fails, and if it has no other result than to take off from the cause, by arms or by punishment, the most energetic of its supporters. We fear much that this is the case with the Polish insurrection." TalE FRANCE.-" We frankly admit all our repugnance for gratuitous and useless manifestations which have no other effect than to embitter both parties and nations mere and more against each other. However, on this occasion, we are willing to acknowledge that a motive of humanity has specially pre sided at the meeting of the Honourable Members. This idea we greet with joy, and we should be happy to see it shared by the greater part of the European courts. Great interests are involved in the Polish question, they are the interests of a people whom the ardent thirst of a nationality, always uncertain, always combated for, unceasingly urges towards sanguinary abysses. 111-advised, by false or imprudent friend., drawn by them into the path of insurrection, they have been marching for a number of years over the dead bodies of their countrymen, to find in Europe a place which their anterior divisions had long taken from them. But let a spirit of comiliotion once succeed to revolutionary blind ness; let an idea of humanity and compassion animate the nations of Europe, in favour of the unfortunate Poles ; let France in particular, no longer seeing in them, but men in misfortune and co-religionists, take au interest in their fate by a pacific and humane initiative, and we shall be the first to encourage manifestations of such sentiments." The Duke d'Aumale left Paris on Wednesday morning for Africa. The King, Queen, the Duchess d'Aumale, and the other members of the Royal Family assembled at seven o'clock in the Salle de la Reine, to take leave of the young Prince, who departed at eight. He is accompanied by two aides-de-camp, M. Janimin and M. d'Hautpoul, and two officers of ordnance, M. Pajol and M. Drubet.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS, CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of. Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 5,000 bales. Orleans was I/ d. per lb. dearer for fair to good quality. Other desciiptions were steady. Shares were inure active, and at higher rates in some instances. A considerable degree of satisfaction has been expressed in mercantile circles at the confirmation of the intelligence before received of so many important reductions being pro posed in the tariff of the United States. By commercial legislation of this nature more will be done to prevent war than by any other course. The letters received by business men in New York show how highly please-d they were at the intelligence of the intentions of Sir Robert Peel. An improvement has taken place of about three per cent. in the Funds this morning, principally owing to the favour able character of the American advices. The Government brokers bought Consols for money and the prices were soon raised from 95i to 96k. Consols for the Account left off yes terday at 95%. Just now there have been purchases effected as high as 96%. The premium upon Exchequer-bills re mains at 345. to 375. premium. A bargain was made in the New South Sea Annuities at 95%, being an improvement of per cent. upon yesterday's value. There has not been any business of importance done in the Foreign Stocks to-day. The fluctuations have been as fel lows:—in the Mexican Five per Cents. for the Account from 31 1 /., to 31%; in the Spanish Three per Cents. for Ac count from 35% to 36; in the Venezuelan from 43 3 / 4 to 44%; and in the Grenada Deferred from 4 3 / 4 to 4%.

ARMY FOR INDIA.--EXETER, MARCH 10.—Yester day, thirty privates, a corporal, and a sergeant, vo lunteered from the First Dragoon Guards, n ow s t a tioned at Exeter, Into the 10t11 fins ears, now under orders for 10. 11 . — Prima" Crig"tfr' IC 11 E N, Dfru astonishing character. In 1832 the net produce, exclusive of the corn duties, was 32,178,814/., and in 1845 it amounted to 33,415,4311., though the total amount for the two departments remitted during that period was 5,197,074/. These show, above all other things, how in jurious protection, under the guise of prohibition and heavy duties, is to the well-being of the community ; how it robs the Exchequer, without benefiting any class; and how well founded are those liberal measures adopted z bfriench a large majority of the Commons House of Parliament. Among the dropped motions which stood for discussion it the Commons last ev.ning, is one of considerable interest and im portance for the press, and, we venture to think, not less in teresting and important to the public. Lord INGESTRE is to call the attention of Parliament to the contents of a peti tien which he has presented from the proprietor of the Wolverhampton Chronicle, complaining of his having been proceeded against for libel, having been cast in damages, and by cots and damages together having been put to an ex pense of upwards of 300/., for printing in his newspaper an extract from minutes of the Committee of Council en Edu cation, published by authority, on the subject of the Lich field Grammar School. The account of this school, given by Mr. ALLEN, the Inspector of Schools, in the publication of the Committee of Council, was naturally published in a newspaper circulating in the locality. It turns oLt that this account contains unfounded allegations relative to the cha racter of the schoolmaster. The schoolmaster brought ac tions both against the publisher of the minutes of the Com mittee of Council and against the publisher of the Wolver hampton Chronicle, which merely copied a statement published on official authority. The publisher of the newspaper twice tendered apology to the schoolmaster, and both tenders were refused. The action proceeded, and a verdict for 50/. damages was obtained by the schoolmaster. But for Lord CAMPBELL'S recent amendment of the law of libel, by which a tender of apologyis allowed to be given in evidence for miti gation of damages, the damages would have been higher. Now this state of things cannot be right. It is expedient that a Government should have the power of publishing the results of inquiries necessary to be known with a view to legislation ; and, on the other hand, that there should be the means of preventing an abuse of this Government power, in publishing statements with regard to individuals, either un true, or though true, not needing to be published. The best means of preventing libels may be by giving a right of action to individuals; but then this should be against the officials,' who arc responsible for the libels, not against other parties who, relying on official documents, merely copy them for the further instruction of the public, and the further diffusion of what it is the object of the Government to have as widely diffused as possible. The publisher of the Wolverhampton Chronicle was carrying out the okeets of the Government in giving further circulation to the statements with regard to the Lichfield School. It is manifestly unjust that he should now be made the scape-goat for official errors ; and Parlia ment is bound to compensate him for the expense to which, he has been subjected. We extract a few paragraphs from this petition, knowing that a question of a grievance of an individual, affording no room for party excitement, always comes before Parliament under great disadvantage ;-- " In the month of April 1844, your petitioner, in the exer cise of his profession, inserted in his newspaper a verbatim extract from the minutes of the Committee of Council on Education, purporting to be the result of official inquiry by the Rev. Mr. Allen, her Majesty's Inspector of Schools, and the unquestionable accuracy of which your petitioner sup posed to be testified by that report. The extract in question related to the Endowed Grammar School of the city of Lich field, in which your petitioner's newspaper has a considerable circulation, and imputed its deplorable condition (the school at that time having been completely closed, and without a single pupil, for about six years), to the harshness and ex treme severity cf the master, the Reverend Cowper thwaite Smith • and alleged that upon two separate occasions he had appeared to answer charges of improper punishment of two of his pupils before the magistrates of the city of Lichfield. Upon this statement, guaranteed by the above official authority, your petitioner placed the utmost reliance, and earnestly wishing the revival of the school in question, at which many distinguished scholars and eminent men had been educated, conceived it to be his deity to give a local circulation to the statement contained in the report, and it consequently appeared in your petitioner's newspaper. Your petitioner is of opinion that lie cannot, in any degree what ever, be considered as participating in the writing of any libel, and is onlf responsible for having placed reliance on the statements contained in a public and official document, bearing on the face of it the high sanction of her Majesty's Privy Council, and the g u arantee of the authorised investi gation of her Majesty's Inspector of Schools, for the truth of the particular facts alleged." We have received Madrid journals of the sth instant, but they contain no news. The Fundicontinued much depressed. The Three per Cents. closed at 28% for cash, and 20% for the 28th inst., and the Five per Cents. at 21 fur the 25th of April. The Paris papers continue to be chiefly occupied with the Polish insurrection, which, from all accounts, may now be considered at an end. Cracow was occupied by the Russians on the 3d of March, the Austrians, it is understood, entered on the 4th, and the Prussians on the 7th. The Prussian State Gazette announces these facts with some additional particulars: " General Cowx, who on the Ist of March had opened communications with General DE FELDON, commanding the Prussian troops, had at the same time opened negotia tions with the insurgents, who were disposed to give up the town. Whilst the negotiations were going on, the Russian corps moved forward, and marched into the town without striking a blow. It will be recollected that the Russian frontier is but seven kilometres from Cracow, and that the town offers no means of defence. Besides, the young and able part of the population having left the town end gone into Gallicia, the only persons whe remained in Cracow were a few old men, besides women and children. Further than this we have no details relative to the occupation of the town by the Russians. The Russian corps consists of five battalions four squadrons, 600 Cossacks, and one battery of artillery. The Austrian corps is about the same force, and was to in vade Cracow on the 4th inst. Lastly, the Prussians, 3,000 strong, commanded by General ROHR, were expected to ar rive at Cracow on the 7th, which is about 80 kilometres distant from the Prussian frontier. Thus it will be seen Cracow is once more placed under the protectorate of the three Powers, which by the treaty of Vienna guaranteed its independence. Cracow, the point where the insurgents first commenced their operations, is about to cease to play the principal part in this heroic and disastrous attempt on the part of the Polei to recover their nationality. We have no accounts of what has taken place upon the right bank of the Vistula since the Ist of March. It is not yet known whether the remnant of the three insurgent corps succeeded in open ing a passage into the Carpathian mountains, for their return towards the Vistula was cut off by Generals Cowie and MEl:rotor, who had occupied all the passages of that river which border upon the territory of the Republic." The Universat Gazette confirms this intelligence in a letter dated Breslau, the sth inst. :—" Yesterday, not only the Austrians, but the Russians, also appeared on the fron tier with 5,000 men. They have entered Cracow without any resistance from the insurgents, between 500 and 600 of whom are said to have surrendered. The Prussian corps also came over the frontier yesterday, and is expected to arrive in the course of to-day." Some of the French Oppo sition papers assert that the insurrection is still spreading i other places, but we have great doubts of the intelligence We place more confidence in a statement in the Steele re specting the sympathy expressed in Germany for the suffer ings of the Poles, and evidently hope that it will yet pro duce good results. Could public opinion only be awakened to the cruel treatment to which this brave nation has been subject, even the three great Powers might be compelled to revise their decisions and grant redress. That journal says : _ " The sympathies of all Europe are awakened as ener getically and as warmly as in the year 183 1 in favour of the Polish nation. Hereafter it will we impossible to suffer a state of affairs to exist which has produced such deplorable conse quences. Public opinion in Germany has declared itself with extraordinary unanimity on the subject. Everywhere, but particularly in Saxony and in Prussia, the most active demonstrations have been made in favour of Poland. The Silesian journals state that. every class of society is animated by a similar feeling, and anti-Russian demonstration was never so strong. Europe cannot neglect such a warning ; the cause of Poland is that of justice, and can never be effaced. There is but one mode of re-establishing the balance of power in Europe, fatally destroyed by the sacrifice of Po land, and that is, to submit the stipulations of the treaty of Vienna to an equitable revision. The sword of revolutions will one day resolve the difficulties which have been nezlected by pacific negotiations." The French Deputies who had met on Monday with a view to render every assistance to the cause have published the following appeal to France : "The efforts making by Poland to regain her nationality, the claims to which are so solemnly inscribed in treaties, claims which the Legislative Chambers of France recal each year to the attention of Europe by unanimous votes ; the heroic courage displayed by the people of Poland, who brave death in the most sacred of causes; the sad reflection that new martyrs are at this moment sealing with their blood their faith in the power of right—these circumstances have produced a profound emotion in France. All parties, forget ting their divisions, concur in the sympathy which is shown in all quarters, and the undersigned, feeling the necessity. of taking part in the manifestation, have opened the follow ing subscription." The subscription, up to Tuesday evening, amounted only to 6,000 f. (240!.), but the appeal had produced a striking sensation, and it is expected that considerable sums will yet be raised, if not to aid the insurrection, at least to relieve those who have suffered in the attempt. We quote from the papers indiscriminately the follow ing remarks on the subject, in which most persons will cordially concur CONiaiTITTIONNEL. — " We hope that every one in the Chamber, without distinction of party, will join in this demonstration. The news from Poland, unfortunately, ap pears unfavourable enough to lead to the belief that there will soon be wounded men and fugitives to succour. A. common sentiment of humanity, united with the remem brance of the vote passed each year in favour of Polish nationality, will determine the whole Chamber to give Po land this mark of sympathy.

Davison and Grant, grocers, of Kent street, Borough. The demand was for 19/. 17s. 10d. The defendant had allowed judgment to go by default, admitting his liability under the guarantee. Witnesses were called to prove the delivery of the goods, and that the period of credit had expired. The jury gave a verdict for the amount claimed. BRANSCOMBE V. T. L. HOLT. This was an action brought against the defendant as acceptor of a bill of exchange for 101.95. 10d. The de fendant, who was stated to be connected with the I►on Times newspaper, pleaded that he did not accept. He, however, did not appear to support his plea, and a verdict was given for the plaintiff. HOLMES V. SMITH. This was an action brought to recover the sum of 81.45. 5d., for repairs done to some carts alleged to belong to the de fendant, who was, until lately, a potato salesman in Spital tields market. The defendant pleaded that lie was not indebted, and the evidence in supOrt of that plea went to show that the busi ness belonged to Samuel Smith, the son-in-law of defendant, whose name was painted on the cart, and who had actually sold the carts, one of them to plaintiff himself. On the other hand it was proved the defendant had sold the goodwill of the premises, and when his son-in-law sold the cart he gave him in charge for stealing them, but did not follow up the charge. The SECONDARY said the evidence was very loose, and if Samuel Smith had been called he could have set the matter at rest at once. In these family quarrels it was rather diffi cult to discover the rights of the respective parties. The jury, some of whom said it was almost hopeless that they should agree, suggested that they should be dismissed. The SECONDARY said they must give a verdict. After being locked up some time, they gave a verdict for the plaintiff. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner GOULB URN.) IN RE WATTS. To-day was appointed for the last examination of this bankrupt, who was formerly a linen and cotton factor in the Old Jewry. His examination had been adjourned in con sequence of his ill health, which bad prevented him from making out his accounts. Mr. LAWRENCE, the solicitor to the fiat, nog►* stated that the bankrupt was dead, and requested the Commissioner to make a record of the fact, so that the necessary steps might be taken to carry on the proceedings under the fiat. The Learned COMMISSIONER said he did not see how he could take the mere statement of the solicitor so as to make any entry. In the case of Pauntleroy, the banker, who was executed on the very day he was to have attended, the Com missioner under the old system had male an entry that the bankrupt did not appear or send any excuse ; that showed that even a matter of notoriety could not strictly be received. Mr. LAWREWCE said that no person who could positively prove the death of the bankrupt was present, but a policy of insurance had been paid. The Learned COMMISSIONER said there could be no doubt of the fact, but it would be as well to call a witness, so that he might make a minute on the proceedings, to say it had been satisfactorily shown to him that the bankrupt was dead. EVIARLBRO-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) Edward White and Wiliam Flint, young men, dressed in the garb of working engineers, were charged with being concerned in the following robbery. About eleven o'clock, last evening, de prisoner White entered the shop of Mrs. Ann Lacy, `Fell-street, Oxford-street, tobacconist, and asked for some tobacco. While serving him, the other prisoner came in, andasked also for some tobacco. They were acting in concert, together, and they made every effort to confuse ber. While in the act cf taking some silver from a bag, the prisoner Flint rushed forward, and snatching the bag made off with it ; and while waiting at this Court, before the charges.came on, she identified the prisoner Flint amongst the crowd, waiting outside, and gave him into custody. White was apprehended on the instant of the robbery. The prisoners gave a very unsatisfactory account of them selves, and were remanded until to-morrow. John Price and Henry Jackson, two young men, were charged with stealing the hind check-braces from the car riage of Earl Dueie. tetween seven and eight o'clock last evening, William West, police-sergeant 106 of the F division, saw the priso ners, whom he knew to be bad characters, in Drury-lane, The Earl Ducie's carriage paned, and the prisoners imme diately jumped up behind.

This Committee resumed its sittingsat the usual hour this morning, in Room, No. 8. There were present, Mr. Ag lionby, in the chair, Mr. Aldan, and Mr. Thornely. OXFORD, TNEY, CHELTENHAM, AND GLOUCESTZR. The hearing of the opposition to this case was resumed. The next petitioner against the Bill was Colonel Sibthorp, who col plained that there were defects and imperfections in the plans and sections, while the books of reference deposited with the clerks of the peace did not correspond with these deposited at the Private Bill-office. Several of the allegations were admitted, others abandoned, and a few proved. Most of them, however, were of a trivial and unimportant character. The next petition was signed by a number of landlords in the parish of Hapnett, in the county of Gloucester, who al leged that a field in that parish was set down in the book of reference as the property of Mr. Hope, a large landed pro prietor of the district, whereas itbelonged to the Rev. Mr. Daubeney, the clergyman of the parish. The witness who was called to prove this allegation ad mitted that he had unintentionally been the cause of the error. He was waited upon by the party who had made out the book of reference, and to that party, in the hurry of the moment, he said that the whole of the property through which the railway passed belonged to Mr. Hope. The allegation was therefore abandoned. Another allegation was, that two roads described on the plans and sections were stated to be private occupation roads, whereae they were public roads. Ur. Thomas Wells: the surveyor of the high reals of the parish, proved this allegation. The allegation respecting the first mod was admitted, bt t the party who prepared the book of reference declared the t Mr. Wells told him that the second was a private occupa tion road. Standing orders in respect of the last instance nct con:- plied with. A number of other allegations were made out, and the Committee resolved, after a four days' hearing of the case, to report that the standing orders had not been complied with in the several instances already published.

His Lordship will shortly leave town for Paris in order to accompany her Ladyship to EnOand. THE FOREIGN MAILS.—POST-OFFICE NOTlCE.—Yes ter.'ay the following notice of the departure of the foreign mails was posted at the chief office, St. Martin's-le-Grand:—lndia, &c.—The next mails for Gibraltar, Greece, lonian Isles, Malta, Egypt, Ceylon, India, and China, rid Souttuanpton, will be dispatched on tile 20th instant.

West Indies—The Tay sails from Southampton on the morning of the 17th. America—The Caledonia, front Liverpool, on the 3d of April. The 10th Hussars, who were to have succeeded the 17th Lancers at Brighton, are to go out to India. The 17th Lancers have been suddenly called away from our cavalry barracks to Not tingham, and we believe will go to Ireland in a few days, prepara tory to their embarkation for Canada. Their heavy baggage is left at Brighton. It is said that Prince George of Cambridge will accom pany his regiment to Ireland. A company of the Grenadier Guards under the command of Colonel Thornton, arrived here on Monday, for the purpose of taking the Palace duty. As soon as it became known here that the 10th Hussars were ordered to India, no leas than 20 applications were made at our cavalry barracks by young men desirous of enlisting in that regiment. It would seem, there fore, that there will be no great dift)ctitty in procuring recruits.— iiriglitori Ore*, AMERICAN NEWS. LIVERPOOL, T I /CRSDAY.
