The result of the Warwick election is another tri- Umphant answer to the Tory cry of reaction. If there was one borough more than another where the faction, by reason of its various and powerful influ ences, had every right to calculate upon success, this Ives that one ; yet, despite its utmost efforts—for it did not throw a chance a way—it has been signally beaten at all points, and will of course be slow to raise its head I n Warwick again. The Tories counted as confidently on this borough, as the CH ANDOS family on some of those in Bucks ; and great must be their astonish ment—infinite their despair—at finding themselves Put so completely hors de combat. Will they now have the effrontery to renew their old clamour about reaction ; or repeat their old assertion that Ministers, 119d.the principles they espouse, are everywhere de in public opinion ? We suspect not. War- Wick will have th e e ff ect o f t eac hing them a sann of moderation. When inclined to boast, t hey will call to mind the triumphant majority against them, and put a curb on any undue e xultation. Wh at ma k es t h e return o f Mr. COLLINS for this borough the more gratifying is, that it has occurred at the very moment when the Tories, backed by the gn Church dignitaries, are everywhere giving O that the Ministerial measure for the abolition of Ch urch -rate s was call i ng f or th the general indignation o f t he Country aga i ns t G overnmen t. For our own part, we have littl e d ou bt th at were a di s solution to take p l ace to- morrow, b y far the major i ty o f t h e constituen clea would act i n the same pu bli c-sp i r i te d manne r as t he electors of Warwick. IVI .r. O ' CONNELL made his appearance on Satur day at the National Association in Dublin, and was welcomed with t h e usua l ent h us i asm. H e a dd resse d the Meeting at great length, and insisted on the pro priety --say, rather, the absolute necessity—of Irish hen placin g con fid ence i n Ministers, an d support i ng Irish hen with their utmost energies. They should also make the cause of the English Dissenters their O wn, and lend them a helping hand hi the great s r trug g l e. This is wi se as we ll as generous po !eY, and w ill not b e forgotten by Eng l an d , w h en Ireland again conies forth to b a ttl e with the Tory O ligarchy for her Municipal Reform.

He now says, " sympathy towards Ireland is far more widely diffused through England than I was heretofore led to believe." This recantation of a prejudice hastily and unwisely adopted, is creditable to the lion. and Learned Mernbei's candour and sense of justice. Our readers will find an abridged report of Mr. O'CoN NELL'S speech in another part of The Sun. The Anti-Church-rate meeting held at Stockport last week, a report of which will be found in another part of our paper, is among the first of a series of popular manifestations which Cheshire is about to afford, in order to test the truth of the assertion made on episcopal authority, that the people of that county were against the abolition of Church-rates. To the Right Reverend Prelate who ventured upon that dangerous ground we would recommend a careful perusal of the report above-mentioned, which, if we are not much mistaken, will furnish a somewhat bitter cud of reflection to be chewed by him, and the rest of the fraternity to which he belongs, during what remains of the recess. The Apostolic fathers will see the folly and danger of harbouring so visionary a thought as that of falling back upon the County of Chester from the just resentment of an in dignant nation. The men of Cheshire have taken the true way to dispel the hallucination from the minds of the Bishops; and it is honourable to the inhabitants of the populous and flourishing town of Stockport that they have set the example of enlightening the Episcopal understanding on this important point. The moment the intelligence reached Stockport that a Bishop had uttered, in the House of Lords, the calumny to which we have alluded, a requisition was prepared, nume rously signed, and presented to the Mayor, who summoned a meeting to be held on Wednesday last. This meeting accordingly took place in the Court house, the Mayor presiding, and was attended by the leading gentlemen—Churchmen as well as Dissenters —of the borough. The speeches delivered were dis tinguished by talent of a very superior order, and by a tone of calm but resolute determination which cannot be very pleasing to the upholders of the Church-rate abomination. We shall soon have more intelligence of the same complexion to communicate from Cheshire. ' We insert elsewhere a communication headed " Bungay Church-rate Meeting," which will be found not without interest at the preknt moment. The Church authorities of that parish, distinguished above all other parishes in the kingdom, are not, happily, among those who are capable of learning wisdom from experience. As long as Church-rates exist, they will always continue to furnish good reasons for their aboli tion. We think that as soon as the abolition does take place, a public monument should be erected to comme morate the service done to the cause of civil and reli gious liberty by the Churchwardens of Bungay. At the late election in the county of Carlow, the Rev. Mr. THOMAS, a Protestant Clergyman, who had heretofore voted for the Conservative candidate, voted for Mr. ITIGoRs. It appears that his Rector was very wroth at this, and some of his flock threatened to walk out of the church when he performed any of the service—such is the spirit of toleration in that part of Ireland. We know that a more excellent Di vine does not exist than Mr. THOMAS—more devoted to the duties of his sacred ministry—or a more genuine Protestant ; but he is not to be permitted to judge for himself as to the proper perAon to represent the c.Ainty in Parliament, without being injured in his profession as Curate of a parish, for which we are informed he receives 501. per annum! The Morning Post of to-day contains a second article on the secession of the Standard from the cause of Don CARLOS. Our Contemporary com mences his appeal to the Tory sympathies of his old ally by " a brief statement of facts"—viz., by a stale recital of a stale budget of legal fictions, falsehoods, and scandalous imputations affecting the honour of the Queen of SPAIN, the will of FERDINAND the VII., and the pretended hereditary rights of Don CARLOS, respectively. Why the Post is so eager to seize upon all occasions to repeat this " statement" is more than we can divine. Were it even true, we cannot discover in what way it would affect the ques tion at issue. Admitting that the Salic Law of suc cession prevailed in Spain—which it really never did either before or after the birth of Don CARLOS—the Post will not pretend to say that it was among the fundamental ordinances of the Kingdom. PHILIP V. was the first Spanish Sovereign who at tempted to establish something like the Salic Law in Spain. Before his accession the Cortes dis posed of the Crown, and males and females were equally elfgible. Instead of convening the Cortes to deliberate upon the change which he proposed in the law of suc cession, PHILIP addressed circular letters to the Mem bers, and sought to collect their suffrages, .not as legis- lators, but as Councillors of State. He kneW that the Cortes, constitutionally summoned, would not agree to the measure which he suggested. When he had re. ccived the answers of the Cortes individually, he re ported that the majority were in favour of a law, limit ing the succession to the heirs male while any of the male line lived ; but that on the extinction of the male branches, the females should be eligible to ascend the Throne as legitimate and rightful Sovereigns of Spain. After the death of PHILIP, the archives of the na tion were searched in vain for copies of the letters upon which he claimed the right of promulgating such a law, when it was discovered that the KING had de stroyed them, to prevent it being known that the ma jority of the Cortes were opposed to such an inno vation. In 1789, the Cortes were summoned by CHARLES IV. to repeal the law of PHILIP, and they twice solemnly repealed it during the reign, and ' with the approbation of FERDINAND VII. The Post cannot dispute the power of the Cortes to change a law of PHILIP V. ; and our Contem poraryneeds not be told that that august assembly abolished PHILIP'S law of succession in 1812, and again in 1832, with the advice and consent of the reigning Sovereign. For our own part we lay no stress whatever upon the last testament of FERDINAND. His will could neither give nor take away a right ; though among a superstitious people it might have the effect of strengthening a claim otherwise not fully recognized. To the Cortes belonged the right of con ceding to the National Sovereignty, and that body gave validity to the Royal Testament conferring the Crown upon ISABELLA 11. These are the facts of the case, and against these the Post urges such vague de clamation as the following : " He (Don Carlos) is no adventurer, as the Standard says, like Charles Edward seeking to regain a throne, many years after the event had taken place and the Govern ment established, which his father, by disloyalty to the people, had vacated. He claims an entrance at the fron tier the moment his right begins ; and escapes from the custody of a stranger the instant he is at liberty to do so, and throws hi►nself,among the people in that part of the kingdom where they have proclaimed his name concurrently with the proclamation of the Queen's name at Madrid. He is King of the upper provinces —she Sovereign of the low country. He has birthright, the ancient law of suc cession, and the devotion of the people at his side —she the corruption of the London Stock Ex change, the conspiracy of three foreign Governments, and the presence of 20,000 foreign bayonets at hers. With w h o m, We ask the Standard, is the prima facie right ? Who, according to the practice of history, is the King and who is the Pretender ? Is the obedience of Don Carlos as a subject to bar his rights as a King? Is the arrest of a foreign Government to dispossess him of his hereditary claims? Is he an adventurer because in his absence a wiuiton, whose daughter is probably the child of shame, has laid hold of the reins of power, and because the Movement party in England and in France, have thought proper to set a price on his head ?"- Our Contemporary appears to entertain very pecu liar notions respecting the rights of Kings. Any de- lay in the prosecution of them destroys their validity. They evaporate by unresisted exposure to the action of the popular will, as does the spirit of fermented liquors by exposure to the free action of the air. This is the theory of the Post—and most certainly there is more of the Whig than of the Tory in it. Don CARLOS (says the Post) is not an adventurer, like CHARLES EDWARD, for he lost no time in asserting his claim to the Spanish Throne. What time did the House of Stuart. lose ? When was the unfortunate JAMES and his family indifferent to a restoration to the Throne of these realms ? What is the Conser vative period within which the heirs to Crowns must claim them at their peril ? Of a piece with this flimsy reasoning is the assertion that " Don CARLOS is King of the Upper Provinces." Now there is hardly a child in the country who does not know that the Navarese Provinces can have no KING so long as they retain their dzteros. The Bis caya►i provinces have never recognised the regal cha racter of the Sovereigns of Spain. Don CARLOS, according to the established laws of the country, could only be Lord of Biscay, and in assuming the title of . King, he violates the fiteros, which the Post says he has sworn to respect. With regard to tl►e legitimacy of the younL! QUEEN, we would recommend our fa shionable Contemporary to overlook the probabilities in such a case, otherwise offence may be given where it is not intended. There were QUEENS in Spain before CHRISTINA, and from one of them, not celebrated for the purity of her morals, Don CARLOs happens to be descended in the nearest de gree of consanguinity. But this is a delicate subject, anti we have no wish to trouble ourselves with the possible contingencies to which Kings in common with their subjects expose themselves by matrimonial alliances. As we before observed, the vexation of our Con temporary originates in the little hope there is that its Spanish policy will prove a stumbling block to the Whig Cabinet. Were the Tories bUt restored to office, the Post would soon leave the Pretender to make the most he could of his own quarrel, and we should hear no more of the crownless, kingdomless, and cityless " King of the Upper Provinces." This fact is a second time admitted by our Contemporary. We quote from his columns of to-day, in which the admission is as d;stinetly made as it was in the article commented upon in The Sun of yesterday : We have no doubt the Standa.-d writes what it con scientiously believes, but it is to be deplored that a respec table Journal should take so unusual and so perverted ,a view of a simple subject. We regret that it should "fur nish such unlooked for aid to the Whig Administration. It is unhappy for the cause of good Government that after three years' war of principle aga'.nst revolution, the talent of our Contemporary should be ranged at the side of a profli gate woman, a baby Qucsn, and a stock-jobbing Govern ment. It is in vain to separate its denunciations of Don Carlos from an approbation of the measures of Lord Pal merston. If that Prince be a murderer, a monster, an outlaw from civilization, the Whig Administration, instead of going too far, as the Standa,d arraigns it with doing, should have gone much further." The reasoning of the Post may be syllogistically summed up in this way :—" It is the prope r business of all Conservative Journals to denounce the policy of Lord PALMERSTON and the Whigs ; this can o n ly he done, as regards Spain, by defending the claims and_ eulogizing the conduct of Don CA ItLOS ; and, therefore, to denounce Don CARLOS is to support the Whigs, and to desert the ranks of Toryism. For the Spanish question, in itself, and for itself, we care not a rush. The real matter for consideration is shall the Whigs remain in office ? If you answer in the negative, as we expect you will, then bellox lustily for Don CA Rims, traduce the character of the REGENT, and libel the Cortes. It is the end, not the means you arc to look to. Drive out the Whigs.at any rate —every means to attain such an cad is justifiable." We submit the deductions thus drawn from the sam ple we have quoted of the Pact's reasoning and mo rality to the correction of our Contemporary. As the extract stands, it is disgraceful to any JOurnal claiming a character for impartiality. The few Paris Papers published on Easter Monday have been received. They contain no political news of much interest. The reported Ministerial chang es have not taken place, and there is reason to believe that they will be delayed for some time. The Queen and Princesses left Paris on Sunday for Belgium, on a visit of congratulation to the Queen of the BELGIANS. Advices from Madrid in these journals announce that on the 18th inst. the Cortes agreed to the Report of the Committee on the Constitution by a majority of 124 votes against 35. There are reports in town of the defeat of ESPA R TERO by Don SEBASTIAN On the 21st, and we have received letters in confirmation of them. They may possibly be nothing more than mere rumours. Letters from Bayonne of the 23d, state positively that General EVANS was about to take the fi e ld against the Carlists without waiting for any reinforce ments.

MARY, EASTER MONDAY, MARCH 27, 1837.—The Churchwardens this day gave .in their tic , counts, with the usual - items of bread and wine, and dusters, and brooms, and surplice washinks, both priestly and choral ; but on being required, according to ecclesias tical law, to prove their charges by vouchers, the noted Mr. Samuel Scott refused to do so, declared they had none, and called on the . Vestry to pass their accounts without vouchers. This the Vestry, a stanch Church Meeting, were ready to do ; but a ratepayer, who had moved that one unauthenticated item should be disallowed, demanded a poll of the whole parish on ,the question, which the Rev. Robert Cobb, Archdeacon Glover's Curate, fixed to take place on Monday, April 3. The same was done in the case,of six 'other items, and the poll on all was appointed for the &fine day. Among other curiosities were-the following. When an objection was taken to the quantity of wine charged for the sacrament, the Rev. R. Cobb stated that some had been sent to his house •for the purpose of administering the sa crament to the sick, and "that part of this had been given to people who were unwell. The Christian benevolence of a Christian minister, who keeps a bottle of parish wine, in case a departing soul should require at his hands a tea spoonful in the administration of his Church's ordinances, and whO flies to this same bottle if a poor parishioner need a glass for a cordial! Again, although a poll was separately demanded on seven different questions, this same Curate appointed seven hours only for taking the votes of the whole parish on all ; and, still more ludicrous, although he had, by so fixing the day of poll, declared some of the items to be unsettled, and al though he was duly warned of the irregularity of his proceeding, this Rev. Robert Cobb, the representative of Archdeacon Glover, who at a recent Vestry burnt unopened a letter addressed to him as Chairman, persisted in putting the original question, that the accounts should pass; and declaring it carried. The authorities of the Church have hitherto used the ecclesiastical law for their own purposes only, in this parish Of Bungay St. Mary. It is probable they will now hear more of ecclesiastical law than they will deem quite civil, and more of civil law than will suit their ecclesiastical taste. The accompanying Protest was handed to the Chairman at the close of the meeting, duly signed : TO THE REV. ROBERT COBB, CURATE TO THE ARCHDEACON GLOVER. We, the undersigned, rate-payers of the parish of Bungay St. Mary, do hereby protest, that, whereas a motion was this day made in vestry, that the Churchwarden's accounts do pass, and a certain amendment was thereon proposed, upon which amendment a poll was demanded, and such poll was appointed To take place on Monday next, April 3d, it was illegal and irregular to put the original question until such poll had been duly taken. Signed. this 27th day of March, 1837. CHARLES. CHILDS, JOHN WEBSTER, • JOSEPH MORRIS, SAMUEL FISHER. AMENDMENTS MOVED AT THE MEETING. • That as no voucher has been produced, after being re quired, for the item of fifteen shillings and sixpence:al leged to have been paid for Archdeacon's Visitations, such item he disallowed."

Upon each motion a poll of the parish was demanded, and fixed by the Chairman for the 3d of April. TUE FUNDS. Money was lent yesterday at the Stock Exchange (about one hundred thousand pounds), at Three per Cent. Consols, which was supposed to be for replacing borrowed Stock. There can be no doubt that very large amounts of Stock were borrowed and sold during the severe pressure for money, and the return of which is now called for. The assistance obtained by the Commercial interest from the Consol Market has been very extensive, and proved beneficial, during the period when - money was so ex ceedingly scarce. The Foreign Exchanges were on the advance yesterday. Consols, which closed at 90i for Money, and 901 for the Account, opened this morning at 90i ; Money, 90i 1.

Mr. and Mrs. Wyndham Lewis have returned to their mansion at Grosvenor-gate, from their seat Pantgwynlas, Glamorganshire. Captain Hastings Doyle, son of General Sir Chatles Doyle, who lately joined the depot of the 24th Regiment, had a very narrow escape of his life while out hunting near Youghal a few days ago. His horse blundered at a leap, fell, preci pitated him on his head, and rolled over him. He was taken up apparently lifeless, and carried into Youghal. He is out of danger, and although severely lacerated in his head, is fast recovering from the effects of the concussion.—Dublin Paper- We have to announce the demise of the Marquis of Bath, who expired at his residence, in Grosvenor-street, on Monday evening, in his lad year.' His Lordship had been for some time seriously indisposed with dropsy, but his death was rather unexpected. The intelligence was brought to Isis eldest daughter, the Countess of Cawdor, while her Ladyship and the noble Earl were entertaining the Duchess-Countess of Sutherland and a select party at dinner, in South Audley street. The late Marquis was Lord-Lieutenant and Custos- Rotulorum of Somerset, a Knight of the Garter, D. C. L., and F. S. A. His Lordship married, 1794, the Hon. Isabella Eli zabeth Byng, third daughter of George fourth Viscount Tor rington, and is succeeded by his eldest surviving son, Henry Frederick Viscount Weymouth (now Marquis of Bath), who married a daughter of the present Lord Ashburton, by whom .1:41 has a numerous family. The family name is Botteville. One John Botteville, however, got the name of John of th'lnne, from residing in one of the Inns of Court, whence the aristo cratic name of Thynne. The Duchess of Buccleuch is the youngest da ug ht er of the late Marquis. The aristocracy have taken care of themselves at the expense of the rest of the community. Food is especi ally taxed for their advantage. The duty on hops imported is 81. 11 s. per cwt., equal to 200 per cent. at least ; on the im portation of potatoes (one of the great necessaries of life) 2s. per cwt., or about 100 per cent. ; on the article of bacon 28s. per cwt., or about 60 per cent. ; and, in addition, the impor tant articles of beef, mutton, and pork, were entirely prohi bited. Th e hi g h d u ty on bread through the means of the Corn-law is well known. Bread is 70 per cent dearer in Eng land than on the Continent.

They will form two octavo volumes. The Epping Hunt came off op Monday with its accustomed sport, the only contretemps being the loss of the buck, ift consequence of the hounds being hunted into a wrong scent. The running and walking tended to make the partici pants in the day's recreations at least as hungry as hunters, however little resemblance to Nimrods they might bear in other particulars ; and the losses of horses and bats, the falls and tumbles, and other similar disasters incident to the day, were amply solaced by the abundance of good cheer in which the daring sportsmen freely indulged, at the close of their adventures. 'The shipwrights of Boston struck on Monday last for a rise of wages, and seemed determined not to complete their work, unless sixpence per day was added to their wages. The demand was refused by their masters, and the men re turned to their work on Tuesday afternoon.—Lincoin Gaiette. ➢Mutton U 5 Salt Ditto Potatoes (per St.) 0 2 TCH M. ARKETS.

Although the contest was very severe, the inc; - pei.delt elec tors led the poll from fir:A to last; the majority vary n„ be, t ween 30 and 40. At its final clean., at foul o'clock, the Mayor, Mr. Charles Lamb, declared the result as follows: — Mr. William C011in5......_. 457 Mr. Sergeant Adams Liberal Majority ...... 35 The most enthusiastic and turradtuous greetings followed this announcement. Scarcely a thorough-paced Tory elector or partizan was to be seen in the :large and crowded market place. Hats were flung up in showers, and the mass of the inhabitants (including numbers, notwithstanding opposite pro fess'ons of feeling) gave way to their real sentiments of joy and congratulation. The Liberals could have polled !?0 more votes, prudentially preserved from unneceF-sary persacution. This contest is a dtsath blow to Lord 'Warwick's influtemce in the borough. IRELAND. L'unutc, Mallon 27., The weather continues its seventy. It is now snowing heavily, and has beep _doing so .the sv,io a morning. GENERAL ASSOCIATION. — We refer our readers to the repOrt, published in another part, of our paper, of the inn portant proceedings which took place .last Saturday at the General Association. The Mail of to-night throws away a. great deal of Orange indignation, beeause the Miniers will.not play the enemy's game, and get beaten by their own indiscretion and ill-con sidered tactics. Why do they not rush forward, appropria tion clause in hand, with the Irish Tithe Bill ? Because they have not yet brought on this measure, they arc forsooth cravens, mere . mercenaries, who. " are only tolerated by the needy adventurers that follow in their train, merely for the , power they possess=and most recklessly do they we it—of appointing to places, and. of bes towing emoluments !!" Is not this delay of Lord John I tussell's most scandalous ? " Is it not most shameful that a loan should continue to hold office for the sake of pay as a sel.vant, when he has lost -all power of governing the country at; a Minister, and is obliged thus to swallow his own words, and give the lie to his own assertions !I" When a Contenapeirary descends to calling an opponent names, and thus deg en crates into a Vulgar scold, we may be quite sure that his prospects are bad indeed. The loss of temper h generally Jur tecedent to the loss of the game. The faction is evidently rmdered desperate by their continued and mortifying reverser. JUDICIAL INSOLENCE.—The .21'4 . ai1, in allusion to Justice Daherty's discourtesy towards - Atr.Keogin has the cool as surance to conclude a long article on the matter with the following words :—" We regret e:-.s , .eedingly that the Chief Justice did not fine this person .506.1. (Baron Pennefather, we understand, did inflict a penalty of 501. for some outrage or neglect, the particulars of which wie have not heard), for we think he owed it to the Beech, tag the Commi..sion, and qo himself, and he will now perceive that his forbearance has been thrown away." THE EDGEWARE-ROA:oMURDER. (LATEST PARTICULARS') Mr. Fehham, the Inspector of the 1' division, through whose unremitting and praiseworthy ererCons the appalling deed has been brought to light, was during the greater part of yesterday prosecuting the most diligent investigation in and near the dwelling of Greenacre, in ()woof whose boxes has been discovered, with marks of blood Uptm it, a lnind kerchief which is supposed to have belonged to the ill-fated woman, - is also a small fine-toothed saw, with which in strument it is probable the bead and lee-s were removed. The woman Gale is not confined in the New Prison, Clarkenwell; - but in the House of Correction, at which - place, on being set down by the officer who went from High•street office with the van, Greenacre said to her, " Don't be down-hearted, my dear ; you know nothing abouLit, and will be discharged on'Saturday. You must, my dear, then call and see me." On the road •to their destination they several times shook hands with each other, awl shed tears. Gale asked her companion now be thou eht he should get on, to which he replied, " He should like to have a solicitor when he • was brought up again." They seemed much inclined to keep up conver sation with each other, but were very properly prevented from doing so by a constable who was placed between them in the vehicle. It is confidently expected that at the next examination a full disclosui - e of all the facts subsequent to thte murder will be made by Greenacre, such as the pack ing of the limbs, &c., and the manner in which they were • coati eyed away from his house._ Two turnkeys sit up night and day with him, in his place of confinement, in order io guard against a second suicidal ,attempt. During the progress of the hackney-coach containing the prisoners to the office, on Monday, a man was pressed forward by the dense crowd, in High -street, and one of the wheels pass'ng over his leg crushed it to a serious degree. A number of other ,persons narrowly escaped being run over, is their eageaness to obtain a sight of the accused parties. A rival establishment to that in Capel-court is shortly to be opeasd in Waterloo-place, Pall-mall, under the denomination of -" The Western Stock Exchange," where it is proposed business in all public securities, as well as in railway and other shares, shall he conducted on the same plan as in the city. Something similar was once before under taken, but it was soon found to be an unprofitable enterprise, as all who speculate or have real business to transact in the funds prcf'r going to the fountain head. It is possible that as a rendezvous fOr the loungers at the more fashionable part of the metropolis, where they can obtain information as to what is going on in the city, it may perhaps answer, but ,it seems ridiculous to suppose that legitimate business to . any extent would bz carried on in such a manner. It is proposed to have twclFe expresses between the two establishments during the day, one starting each hour from the city and the west end. MR. CAMPBELL'S LETTERS FROM THE SOUTH. —The publication cf his exceedingly iateresting hook of travels t: nds. to make the reader regret, more and more, the unfre fluent appearance of the anther in print. It is justly observed that "- Mr. Campbell's Letters arc every way worthy of the reputation of a man oho, within the memory of the present ge neration, trusting to the prOmptings of a nature, properly d►s ciplined, not crushed, by art, has outlived about a dozen schools and systems of poetry." At a meeting of the vestry of St. Andrew's Holborn, Churchwarden Wagstaff in the chair, it was resolved unani mously that the meeting highly approved of the measure pro posed by his Majesty's Ministers, and sanctioned by a resolu tion of the House of Commons, for the repair of the Established Church, and support of public worship therein, by an improved management of the Church revenues, and by applying the in creased produce to those objects. Hu lAN LIFE," BY THE AUIIIOR OF TRE ' itAISE" and " DE VERE."—We know erne volumes more de lightful to a reviewer than these, for every subject is brought out clear as daylight, and every page almost presents some thing favourable for extract. • • * We close the scene of society here opened-to us with thanks to the able and zea lous writer for this new exercise of great powers of penetra tion and of rare faculties of discernment, which, in his case, are united with a cordial and philosophic love of all the hidden as well as the open good of the objects he seeks tq pourtray, and with a deep admiration and sympathy for that human nature which he at all times pleasantly, and often profoundly, illus trates."—Court Journal. On Wednesday evening Mr. Ebenezer Elliott, of Sheffield, the author of the " Corn Law Rhymes," delivered a lecture in the hall of the Hull Mechanics' Institute, on Poetry. Of the lecture itself we can only say that every part of it bore evidence of the man—it was sterling metal hewn from the mine of truth ; —in style original yet most forcible, at those who heaal it can best testify. —Hull Observer. The lawyers in Spain encourage crime in order to obtain practice. In Mr. ludlis's work on Spain, just repub lished, we find an account of an escrivano, who jogged a butcher quarrelling with a neighbour, having his knife half drawn, with "Po le (give it him) aqui estoy yo !—Don't you see lam here, no harm shall come to you." This beats any thing in any Old Bailuy practitioner, even of the time of Jo nathan Wild. LONGEVITY AMONG PRINTERS.—A late French periodical contains the following interesting calculations —ln twenty-three printing offices in Paris, there were noticed in each printers whose ages ranged from forty to seventy years. An aged master printer asserted that he had known more than fifty compositors or pressmen who had passed their sixtieth year. Among thirty.five persons engaged in one office, one third ranged from forty-five to seventy years of age. A printer who worked in an office, a few years ago, said there were, out of forty workmen, twenty-five whose ages ranged from fifty to seventy. This office was very appropriately termed imprimerie des birbassiers, or " the printing office of grey beards." There are seventeen printers now working in Paris, of whom seven are seventy years of age, one eighty, and another eighty two. A printer worked in the office of Didot, the younger, until his death, when he was eighty six years of age, and an other continued to work until the age of ciehty-four. Among , the deaths in Paris in one year there were twenty-five printers, whose ages varied from fifty-five to seventy-eight years ; and among the returns from the hospital for the aged, the deaths of four printers were announced, whose ages were respectively sixty-four, sixty-nine, seventy-five, and seventy-eight. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MARCH 27. I We have a good demand for Cotton to-day. The Sales are about 4,000 bags of all kinds, without, however, any decided improvement in prices. A pastry baker, in Howard-street, has been appre hended under a charge of murdering a girl of the town, in Jamaica-street, on Friday morning about 3 o'clock. It is not known whether any provocation was given, but in the preseleJ of the watchman he knocked her down, and by the time she was properly seen to, life was extinct.—Glasgow Chronicle. 43 4'the Ist of April, with the Magazines, Part II , price 4s. 6d. , )f the Re-publication on small Paper (with all the Armorial Bearings, Portraits, &c.) of MR.
