Pam, whether it was the intention of th e Government to present to the House copies or extracts of any correspondence which might have passed between the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and her Majesty's Ministers at Washington, relative to the Oregon territory ? Sir R. PEEL thought that any explanation on the subject was wholly unnecessary, because le was convinced that the expressions of her Majesty from the Throne, and the statements of Gentlemen in that House, had not been misunderstood. He had no objection to lay on the table of the House those public communications which had already been made public, if it was thought desirable that he should do so. Lord J. Russ= wished to ask what course the Govern ment intended to pursue with respect to the Corn Bill, and the Irish Life and Property Protection Bill? Sir R. PERI, said that he never felt greater anxiety for the progress of a measure than he did for that with respect to the corn-laws. He had received communications from parties both in favour of and against Ministers, earnestly de siring a decision on the corn-laws. He thought it desirable that the House should come to an early decision upon the subject, and it was not his intention to permit any of the Go vernment business to interfere with it. With respect to the Irish Life and Property Protection Bill, the course he intended to pursue was this—he proposed to take the second reading of the Corn Bill on Monday; it was understood that that discussion would last till Friday, but, in the hope that the discussion would terminate on Thursday, he would propose that the Irish Bill should be taken on Friday, as far as the first reading, but upon the un derstanding that if the debate on the Corn Bill was not con cluded till Friday, then that the Irish Bill should be read a first time on Monday. He would take that opportunity of stating, with respect to the report of the Classification Com mittee, relative to railways having a proposed termini in the City, t hat the Government intended to act upon the recom mendation of the Committee, and that on Monday they should acquiesce in the motion, and advise her Majesty to appoint a Royal Commission upon the subject. On the question of the further consideration of the Cus toms (the Tariff), The Marquis of WORCESTER moved that timber be omitted. Mr. H. HIND= supported the amendment. Mr. CARDWELL defended the resolution, observing that it was one of the moat popular that had been brought forward. Mr. A. CHAPMAN objected to the resolution, believing that it would have the effect of making this country dependent upon foreigners for timber to build their ships. Captain HARRIS also objected to the resolution. A..• a. D • . Xllll ablola Mr. WARBURTON supported the Government proposition, and felt no doubt, looking at the beneficial results of the tariff of 1842, that increased good would take place, if the present proposition was carried into effect. Mr. P. BORTHWICK supported the amendment of the Noble Marquis, the Member for Gloucester. Mr. HENLEY and Mr. HUME supported the Government. Lord G. BENTLNCK spoke at some length in favour of the amendment. After a reply from Sir G. CLERK the House divided ; their being for the Amendment 107, for the Ministerial measure 232 ; majority 123. The orders of the day having been disposed of, the House adjourned at one o'clock. firmed his supposition with facts. A corroboration, indeed, of these reports as to the continuation of evictions transpired as recently as Saturday at au anti-famine meeting, convened in Mal low. One of the ♦ictims of this cruel system, a working fanner, addressed the assembly upon the spread of destitution among his countrymen, stating that he himself had been dispossessed by a landlord of Annakiasy, although he had duly paid up his rent to the moment of ejection. And in answer to the inquiry of a clergyman as to how many had been subjected to similar treatment upon the same property during the last ten years, he supposed from fifty to sixty families. It is folly indeed to question the continuance of this great social evil among the Irish peasantry. Eviction is persisted in, and will be persisted in, until Govern ment, by some stringent and comprehensive measure, forces its cessation upon the landed proprietors. At all times and seasons the sudden dispossession of an Irish labourer is fraught with wretchedness. Driven from his cabin during periods of absolute abundance, the colleen is subjected, ipso facto, to the most bitter penury. How much more extreme must this penury become at a moment when the commonest description of human food is almost entirely beyond the reach of even the most flourishing of his class. And that this last circumstance is be coming more and more apparent, the most indisputable documents are witness. "It is unnecessary for me," says the Mayor of Cork in a letter to Lord HEYTESBURT. "to go into the numerous and most painful details of the deep distress of the poor of Cerk, and of its alarming progress : " another account informs us that typhus fever has been actually traced to the use of diseased potatoes ; while, as if to afford a climsx to this catalogue of suffering, the Corh Reporter mentions even the possibility of an outbreak of— (and the writer hesitates for an instant, in the very em ployment of the dread word)—cholera So malignant are the cholics produced by eating decayed vegetable mat ter. It is from a consideration of these occurrences, and the prevalence of so many raiavrica atmung the population of Ireland, that every sane individual must acknowledge that the matter introduced on Thursday by the Marquis of LONDOIiDARRY required no apology whatever. We are only anxious that the substance of the remarks uttered by the Noble Marquis may not be overlooked by Go vernment or by our legislators generally. By remem bering this vile system of eviction, the measures adopted by Parliament for the alleviation of famine and con tagious diseases would be conducive to the more lasting welfare of the peasantry ; and by shielding the te nantry from suck arbitrary acts on the part of their landlords, Ribbonism might be soon numbered among the bygone, the Whiteboys would be forgotten, and Coercion Bills would be no longer applicable to the peaceful inhabitants of Ireland. It was but a few days since that we felt it our painful duty to offer some commentaries upon the lax system of guardianship exercised over the minds of the youth who enter the Universities of Oxford and Cam bridge. Those remarks sprung from a consideration of the recent trial of a doctor of divinity for the crime of adultery, in which the jury had returned a verdict con firmatory of his guilt. Another disgraceful instance has just been elicited in support of the general observations we then made, as will be seen by referring to our assize intelligence of Thursday, which contained a report of a trial at Cambridge before Mr. Baron PARKE, developing a fearful scene of riot and bloodshed, occasioned in that town during this present month, by what is familiarly known by the expression, " A town and gown row." The eldest son of Sir JOHN Sewn preferred an indictment against a policeman for a vio lent assault, committed during the excitement of the scene alluded to. The jury found the charge proved, and the prosecutor recommended a lenient sentence, as it was only from a strong sense of public duty that he had in that instance had recourse to a court of justice. Nothing could be fairer than the way in which the Learned Judge put the case to the jury in his summing up, viz.—whether, the assault being proved, there was evidence to show that the defendant committed it in order to quell a riot. Every one knows how great are the arist.,cratical influences that prevail in the precincts of the Universities, and how dependent are the trades. men and townspeople upon yielding a pliant obedience to the dogmatical tyranny of the members of the col leges, of all grades, and hence we can easily conceive that there was the greatest difficulty on the part of this poor and unprotected policeman in producing satisfactory evidence to show that what he did was necessary to cheek the outrageous disturbance created by the disgraceful conflict, in which he was called upon to act as a conser vator of the public peace. The evidence discloses that the "flower of our youth" had armed themselves with weapons of a formidable description, amongst which were pokers, one of which was produced by a police constable, who had been felled to the ground by it by ' one of the alumni. On the other hand, testimony was freely given by tutors and other academical gentlemen to overwhelm the almost friendless policeman in his attempt to prove that the circumstances of the case justified him in striving to suppress the riot. One thing is clear, that so long as these annual displays of brute force (unpro voked as they generally are) find an arena within the jurisdiction of the Universities, the authorities must be held highly culpable and most wanting in the discharge of one of the first duties they owe to the public. To such a pitch does this unpardonable spirit of insubordi nation seem to have attained, that we find one of the tutors remonstrating with the police, and urging them not to interfere with the youthful disturbers of the public peace, as it was next to useless. Thus, it would appear, that even with those, from whom, position and years we might look for better things, a species of prescriptive right is autho ritatively recognised for their pupils to sport with the very lives of their fellow-countrymen whenever they find themselves in,the humour. We call upon the heads of the colleges, who assume the province of giving the best education to our future clergy, magistrates, and members of the other liberal professions, to take some rigorous steps for preventing a repetition of those dis orderly and shocking occurrences. It is notorious that the undergraduates sally forth for the indul gence of their pugnacious propensities whenever it is expected that a town and gown row will take place. Were the authorities to be but ordinarily vigilant, and to make a few salutary exam pies of those scions of the nobility and aristocracy, who are generally the foremost to court a rupture between themselves and the townspeople, and who plume them selves upon being sure to escape with impunity, by rea son of their high connexions, and the injury any parti cular college would receive were the gentlemen of !heir importance to retire and patronise some other as yet less favoured college—were these insurrectionary tyros to be promptly expelled and finally excluded from par ticipating in the advantages (such as they are) of a uni versity degree—we should soon have a cessation of those disgusting practices, and the authorities would free themselves from a stigma and scandal for which they are at present so much to blame. For the simple and candid manner in which, on Thurs day evening, the Marquis of LONDONDERRY called the at tention of Government to the helpless condition of the Irish tenantry, he deserves every possible credit. And, although we make some allowance for the exaggeration with which circumstances of peculiar cruelty are usually coloured in the course of their dissemination, we cannot but deem the occurrence which the Noble Marquis adduced as one demanding the strictest scrutiny. Ac cording to his Lordship's authority, no less than four hundred tenants were very recently dispossessed in the vicinity of Roscommon, and in addi tion to this, it was asserted that upwards of two thousand human. beings have suffered eviction within the last two years upon the same estate. Philosophers have not unfrequently observed that a deli cate and sensitive female can peruse, with scarcely a shudder, the lists of killed and wounded, dated, together with the bulletin, upon the battle-field ; whereas, could each of those mangled bodies be brought under our actual inspection, could each broken limb be seen, and each death-groan be heard, the most callous would recoil from the spectacle with horror. In like manner, their Lordships might listen with merely a casual or evanescent pang when the voice of the Most Noble the Marquis of LONDONDERRY informed them that four hun dred of their fellow countrymen were, by this ruthless eviction, "plunged into the greates t distress, without the slightest means of shelter." Could they, however, be come cognisant of the privations to which those ousted labourers are subjected, and behold the total abandon . ment of so many houseless creatures, we might be assured of an instant and strenuous effort in behalf of the , sufferers o n t h e past of our remark able l r eg isl a tive aristocracy. In sp ea ki ng thus we a f ro m wishing to impute any individual ore fa indifference towards misery to the House of Peers : we are merely reverting to an abstract quality in the temperament of man ; and we do thib for the pur pose of enforcing the necessity of interposition on the Legislature by repetitio enpon .repetition of the gcneral grievance, so as to comsate.in some measure for our incapacity to present a vivid picture of the details. By the mere utterance of a sarcasm upon the fictions con tained in Irish newspapers, the Marquis of WESTMEATII endeavoured to throw discredit upon the statement regarding the proceedings in Roscommon. This, we conceive, was scarcely fair. Declarations are not to be overthrown by inuendoes, but by counter declarations. And hence, in the present precarious position of the multitude in Ireland, the Noble Marqui s might, with more propriety, have suppressed his doubts as to the authenticity of the rumour until be could have con• In the account we gave on Thursday of the funeral of the Rev. J. T. GUYER, we have another painful instance of the unfeeling and bigoted prejudice of some of the clergy of the Established Church, which at once enlists our warmest sympathies with the deceased, and arouses our indignation at the conduct of the Rector of Binstead. For twenty-eight years had Mr. GUYER exercised his ministry in an exemplary and irreproachable manner, beloved by all who knew him, and shared in the benefits of his exertions. Simultaneously with the depositing of his remains in a vault at the foot of that pul pit he had so long adorned, were the shops of the neighbourhood generally closed, and every outward token of respect paid to his memory. It was his dying request to be deposited in the ground at Bin stead that contained the bodies of his children, and for what reason was this refused by the rector? Simply, forsooth, because the deceased was a Dissenter, and worshipped his CREATOR in the manner which in his conscience he believed to be most proper. Can the Church of England expect to retain any hold of the affections of the people if this deplorable and unchristian conduct is practised and sanctioned by their functionaries, and what greater stimulus can be given to the growth of Dissent if this cruel enforce ment of legal right is to be made at the expense of every noble and enlarged sentiment? We rejoice to observe that a numerous body of members of the Church of England signed a letter of condolence, upon the above circumstances, to his ber.aved family, and thus marked their opinion of the outrage that had been offered to every feeling of humanity. Such a document carrier. with it the strongest commentary upon the proceeding. and we sincerely hope its moral will not be lost upon the heads of the Church, whose duty it is to take the initiative, and, by their influence and authority, to save us for the future from the pain of any similar occur rence; or, if they should fail in this, that the circum stance will not escape the attention of our Legislature. Madrid papers and letters of the 12th have arrived. The MIItAFLORES Cabinet was in a state of dissolution, and the return of NARVAEZ to power was anticipated with warm by all parties. These pipers contain no news whatever. MADRID BOLSA, MARCH 12.—The Three per Cents. are per cent lower to-day, clueing at 28} for the 31st inst., and 28i for the 30th of April; 37 millions done. The other funds are not quoted. The Paris papers of Wednesday have arrived. They all eulogise the speech of M. TRIERS on the previous day in support of M. REMUSAT'S motion for the exclusion of the paid servants of the public from the Chamber of Deputies, as a masterpiece of eloquence, although the Journal des Dibats and L'Epoqus consider M. Ducu.l - reply afforded a complete answer to all the reason ings of M. TRIERS. The latter journal says— " The speech of M. Thiers was animated, brilliant, and charming. It is his best piece of oratory, but his most de testable political production. The speech of M Duchatel was measured, wise, and practical. He did as much to secure the vote of the Chamber as the other did for the gratification of the galleries. We and many others have often said that M. Thiers was desirous of again becoming Minister; but after having heard his speech of yesterday, we are convinced he has tie such thought; for when a man treats the Chamber with disdain and monarchy with levity, it is impossible for him to believe that he can over obtain the support of one, or the confidence of the other." All parties seem to agree that by this remarkable speech M. THUM has completely closed against him sols the doors of office.. On this subject the National says .-- "We acknowledge that he spoke bold truths. TLis bold ness must deprive him of office for a long time to come. He declared it himself when he uttered these words,—' I Hill place my vessel on the highest point of the shore, and will wait until the approaching tide shall set it afloat.' Let him not labour under an illusion. When the tide rises it will be in stormy weather, and M. Thiers's vessel is teo fragile to resist the waves of the ocean." The discussion on M. REMUSAT'S motion was re sumed by the Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday. The proposition was rejected by a mrijority of 48. The num bers being—For the motion, 184 ; against it, 232 ; Majority for Ministers, 48. There were 416 Deputies present. PRICES OF RAILIVIY SHARES. The LORD CRANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack at Five o'clock. Various petitions hating been presented, The Earl of CLANCART/ stated that Mr. Geurrost had presented to the Committee on the Irish Poor-laws the papers to which a Noble and Learned Lord (Bnotionam) had alluded yesterday. Lord BROUGHAM expressed himself satisfied with what hail fallen from the Noble Earl, but he wished for the papers to be produced. The Metropolitan Buildings Act passed through Com mittee. The Marquis of CLAWRICARDE Loved that the p etition of G. Pryme, Lsq., of Camb rid g e, and Ja mes Tyler, Esq. of li ng ton, be referred to a Select Co mm ittee to inquire and report th e reon. These petiti ons were a g ainst the Lond on and York Railway Bill, and had been confided to him on Monday, and he had held them over to make inquiries, and tnisted that the petit i oner s would not be prev ented from bein g heard because Ise had kept back the petition. Lord Bk:AUKONT opposed the motion as quite irregular. Lord MONTEAGLE thought the petitioners should be per mitted to go before the Committee. The Earl of SHAVITSBURY thought the better course to pursue o p n rsne would be to give notice of a motion suspending standing orders, and then the matter would be regularly dis cussed on Mond.'y. The suggestion was adopted, and the further discussion of the point postponed till Monday, after which their Lordship! adioureecl. 'The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four o'clock. Several Railway Bills were read a second time and ordered to be committed. Several petitions were presented in favour of the Man chester and Southampton Railway Bill. ,On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, it was ordered that the House, at its rising, should adjourn to Monday next. Mr. Was°. Parrzx gave notice of his intention on Mon day to move the appointment of a Select Committee with re spect to railways. Sir J.

Sir J. GRAHAM, in answer to a question from Mr. 12En =An YORKE, said that the Government had thought it }roper to grant a free pardon to Joseph Mason, who was sentenced to twenty years' transportation, at the York March Assizes, in 1842, upon a conviction which turned out to have taken place in error.

The sale, of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday amounted to 3,000 bales, including 500 American for export; 150 Maranharn, at 5 1 / 2. d. to 5 3 ,4 d. ; 130 Egyptian, at 5 3 / d. to 6Ad.; 400 Surat, at 2%d. to 2%d. per lb. The remainder Americans to the trade. The market was rather more quiet, and prices rather easier. Shares were heavy We regret to hear, by accounts which have come to hand this morning, that Captain ll‘Leod has destroyed hitn , ell at Cotunna. It will be recollected that this ill fated gentle man was commanding officer of the Great Liverpool, which recently had been totally lost. The accident, no doubt, has preyed upon the mind of this gallant officer, and led to the fatal result above stated. There are not any late arrivals in the City from the British Colonies this morning. The only bart,ains in Console made up to the present hour were at 95% si, for immediate transfer, and at 96 1 , , for the Account.

There were many of the proprietors of the Stock of the Corporation, who expected that the dividend would have been increased yesterday at the meeting. The report inserted in The Sun, yegereay afiernoon ' shows that. no such determination had been come to by the Court of Directors. Not half-a-dozen bargains have been made this merning in the Foreign Funds.

The result was that the Peelites were beaten hollow, the Protectionist list being earned by a large ma jorlty. —Brighten Gazette. TROTTING 'MATCH FOR TWENTY POW-WM—Thurs day afti moon, 31r.

THE THEATRE OF WAR.—Algeria is frequently men tioned in the French papers as the " theatre of war."

THE REBECCAITES IN THE GREAT DOVER-ROAD.- Yesterday morning, and to some extent during the day, a good deal of excitement was caused in that portion of the Great Dover-road from St. George's Church, in the Borough, to the turnpike near Roll's floor-cloth manufactory. in consequence of the demolition of a temporary bar placed opposite the Swan inn, by some of the " Re becca" party in that neighbourhood. Since Saturday last posts have been driven into the ground, and a bricklayer's pole attached to them, at the corners or all the streets along that distance, in order t.) exact a toll for.vehicles passing _through them into the Great Dover-road. The persons, however, who are placed there to exact these tolls, so far from using their " poll bars," which would not reach half-way across the streets, as a means to refuse the passing of the vehicles, have had the ends iron-bound to the posts, so that they are like a fence by the side of the footway. In the course of Wednesday night the " pole" near the Swan was broken down, and it would probably take a dozen such lengths to reach across the street. The inhabitants never remember a toll being before demanded, nor were bars ever placed there, and they tool it a considerable hindrance to thdr business to be thus novetiv and ithont any reason taxed. Men are placed there who denian4 the toll sanx gate, and some lay and soup do not. Westmi.isier Ball will probably be We place where the !revel proceeding must at last be dolded. NEWS FROM PORTUGAL.

The Queen brings a full cargo of dates, oranges, specie, eggs, &c. The schooner Brand, for Liverpool, with corn, struck on Oporto Bar coming out ; she apparently sustained no damage, and proceeded on her voyage. The Queen experienced very strong S.W. gales outwards, and a succession of northerly gales homewards, or she would have performed the voyage two days so.mer. The Queen brings home about 90 persons, passengers, in cluding the crew and passengers of the Great Liverpool. They are in a very distressed condition for -want of clothing and many.other necessaries. It is with extreme regret that I announce the death of Captain M'Leod, the late commander of the Great Liver pool, who died by his own hand immediately after the last of the passengers had departed for Corunna. He had been in a most desponding state of mind ever since the unfortu nate occurrence, and it is supposed could not bear up against misfortune. The melancholy event has left a gloom over the whole town. He was, a man unilwsally beloved and respected. He has left a large young family, with propects of an early increase. _ _ - There is nothing further saved from the wreck of the Great Liverpool. The ship is entirely gone to pieces, and what va luables floated ashore were principally purloined by the ras cally natives. The Queen brings hone her mails. I have personally inspected them; but as they are in boxes it is impo.sible for a casual . observer to state what damage they have received. I regret to add, that Lieutenant Williamson, the Admi ralty agent of the Great Liverpool, lies dangerous•y ill at Corunna ;so much so, that his life is despaired of. He was totally unable to come to England in the Queen. Too much praise cannot be given to Captain Russell for his kind, humane, and pulite attention in every respect to Ms unfortunate passengers. Most of their friends were waiting at the various hotels in the town to receive them, and it may be readily imagined the greetings were of a most cordial cha racter. Ltsisox, MARC!! 13.—Baron Renduffe, the new Portuguese Minister to the Court of Spain, set off on the 11th inst. for Madrid vit . / Cadiz. One chief object of his mission is said to be, the negotiation of a match between the Spanish Queen and Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg, brother to the King Consort of this country. His allowance has been raised from 5,300 to 8,000 mania per annum ; besides which he has been furnished with credit to the amount of 40,000 miireis far ea tertaiaments and douceurs to those influential persons who can aid him in his object. We have to report the loss of anether English ruse!, the brig Vestal, which went on shore near Vienna, on the sth inst. The master, mate, anti six seamen, were drowned, and eight seamen were saved. The vessel and cargo were totally lost. SUSPICIoUS DISCOVE RY 0 CHATHAM ISLAND. A letter has been received at Lloyd's from the Foreign office,inclosing a copy of a dispatch received from her Ma jesty's Consul-General in Central America, dated A Guatemala, Dec. 3, 1845. Lord,—The master of the Black Cat, of London, who hats just arrived at Iztapa, has given me the following note respecting the remains he found of the furniture of a vessel on. Chatham Island, situated near the equator, in longitude about 87. Captain James Davies's account is as follows : November 10, 1845. Made the Gallapagos Islands. Being calm, I went on shore on Chatham Island in search of water, but found none. Alt eight A.M, returned on board, and proceeded along shore at the rate of 6% knots per hour, for the space of two and-a- 1i4.1f hours, when the wind died away. A sudden calm abreast of a deep bay. Lowered my boat, and went on shore myself, 'ar d four hands under arms. On arriving at the bottom of e bay, in pulling along the shore, my attention was called to a number of water casks, twenty-five in all, t renty yards above high••water mark. I then landed at the sI ,ot, took out the bungs, and Ending the greater number of tt ietn full, rolled four of them down to the beach ; left them, as it still continued calm ; proceeded a short way into the woodS with the boat's crew, when I discovered three poles sticking ii Ito the ground, namely, two top-gallant and lower,studding wails booms belonging to some unknown vessel of about 180 r 200 tons, on which the American flag was flying all in tatters ; beneath them a heap of cinders, where there had been a pparently a great fire, and the most valuable of instruments t a mariners had been destroyed and melted, namely, brass extants, compasses, and log glasses, knives and forks with • cut number totally burned and destroyed, with the exception 4 . (Me - knife and fork of buekhorn handle, having the name " Rodgers ;" sailors knives, scissors, sewing needles, packing 4 iitto, fish- hoops, ramrods, gun and musket locks, a heap of but lions melted toger her Brought away five suple wsed to he Spanish rcold, date 1787, of the weight of two ounces. Leaving the spot, ton running my sword into the sand it held fast. I picked m: ; t hoe near the same spot, and digging where I ran my sword !1. discovered a cask of beef i ithout, pickle, in a ;itrified ;state; tripe, Indian corn, meal, large white round peas, and a 'can of castor oil ; a chest containing carpenters' and coopers' :tools, some of ►hem were bran new, having the name of ."

I ,suceeded in getting on board, made sail, and Proceeded on my voyage. At 10 30 A.M. the following day Downes Island, which is marked doubtful in the chart, bearing distant five miles; latitude observed at noon 33 min. sec. north, longitude $9 deg. 30 min. west. By having the same inserted in the papers, it may ba of ser vice to some nation or people, as I attribute the whole to some piracy or mutiny, from the signs. Your Lordship may perhaps think it desirable to make this singular case known at Lloyd's, for general information. At first I was inclined to suspect that this might be the Toren Cecilia, Peruvian schooner, which disapptared from the coast of Peru in November, 1844, with a cargo of gory:. of the value of 20,000 dollars, belonging to Mr William Turner, a British subject, and which was traced to Realego and Punta de Arenasin, the republic, where the Captain, Marto Bustos, sold sonic of the cargo. On the 13th of February last she called• in at Acajuitlia, and was supposed to have proceeded thence to the cost of Mexico, but the valuable nature of the ojects, Captain Davis de scribes as having been so deliberately destroyed, and the fact that a quantity of gold was found melted with the rest of the tthings, forbids that supposition, and leaves the cause of this Krause occurance beyond reasonable conjection. I have, &c., FREDK CHATFIELD. (Signed) SPORTING ISTELLIGENCE , We extract the follow ing from the Courrier Francais " An extraordinary courier has passed through France for England, from Egypt. It is said that he was sent by the English Charg4 d'Affaires at Alexandria, with the intel ligence that he had just obtained from the Pacha the autho risation to carry through Egypt the reinforcements that are to be sent to These papers contain but little news from Poland. The latest accounts from Cracow are of the 10th. The town was then tranquil, but nothing had been determined by the protecting powers as to the course So be pursued for the permanent maintenance of tranquillity. We learn from Posen, the 12th, that after having pro claimed martial law, a proclamation was issued declaring that tranquillity was restored, and that the persona who had attempted to create an insurrection, and who were in custody, would receive the punishment decreed for such an offence. . . _ The Augsburg Gazette says it has learned, from a good source, that the statement of the Austrians having set a price upon the heads of nobles delivered up by the peasants, was utterly unfounded. The Reforms gives the following account of the pro gress of the insurrection : " The movement in Samogitia and in Conrland is confirmed. At Prague,' says Up-, Augsburg Gazette, ' the Poles who were studying in that city all disappeared, with the exception of two.' A. letter from Breslau, dated the 10th inst., relates that during an engagement which took place on the frontiers of Russia, several soldiers of Polish origin quitted the Russian ranks and joined the insurgents. The Gazette of Voss con tains a letter, dated Kcenigsburg, the 7th inst., which an noneces that the Polish insurgents crossed the Prussian frontier near Ortelsbourg, and captured 700 muskets in that town. This feet proves that the insurrection was making progress in Poland." The National states that the subscriptions received fur the Polish insurgents by the Paris journals, together with 43 provincial journals, amount to a sum of 88,528 f. 55c. The Univers publishes a long reply to the note of M. Dr: BOUTINIEFF on the subject of the nuns of Minsk, in which many of the statements of M. DE BOUTINIEFF are absolutely denied, and others designated as explana tions supported only by sophistry. The accounts from Algeria state that ADD-EL-KAMER is retiring, but still the preparations of the Government to meet unfavourable events continued. The Ministerial crisis in Belgium still continued.

PORTSMOUTH, MARCX, 19. The Herald, 26, Captain Kellett, C. 8., and the Pandora, 10 (her tender), Lieutenant- Commander Wood, arrived at Valparaiso, from England, on the 19th 'of November, and were there on the 26th. A pri vate letter of the latter date says—. " In the passage from the Falkland Islands to Valparaiso the cold was intense, and the sea constantly washing the deck fore and aft made the vessel (the Herald) very damp and uncomfortable for abowt two months. I never felt any thing like it before, except ..my cruise in the —, but that was mere child's play to what I experienced in the old Herald. However, she is a capital sea-boat—as are all the donkey frigates,' as they are called-:--but a slow sailer. * * • sails very well when by herolf. We have been here some days, and shall remain until retie Admiral arrives, whi c h w ill be - in about a fortnight, when we shall receive our further orders, and start for Callao—a tun of about twelve days— and after I ernaining there about a week, go on to Acapulco, wheie our surveying operations commence. We had a ter rible time of it getting round Cape Horn ; for upwards of a month nothing but a succession of gales." The President, 50, Captain Stanley, flag of Rear-Admiral J. It. Dacres, Commander-in-Chief on the Cape of Good Hope station, arrived at Rio from Spithead on the 16th of January, en route to the Cape station, which she was to sail f'ar on the following Monday, to relieve the Winchester,. 50, Captain Eden, flag of Rear-Admiral the Hon.

The Sparrow, 2, Commander Otter, surveying vessel for the coast of Scotland, will, having completed her annual re fit, proceed to the sphere of her operations in a day or two. She bent sails yesterday. The Retribution steam-frigate, Captain Lushington ; the Cyclops steam-frigate, Captain Lapidge; the Electra, 18, Commander Maitland ; and the Palmyra, transport. remain at Spithead, from which anchorage, we mast earnestly trust, the first-named ship will not be permitted to put to sea or service without having Captain George Smith's paddle box boats refitted to her. The removal of them has been an act of gross injustice to their gallant inventor, and if she is permitted to go to sea without these invaluable auxiliaries to the salvation of human liie in case of need, we repeat that the lives of all who go in the ship will be wantonly endan gered. The boats she cast off here were, in their appearance and construction, the most unsightly the mind can conceive—. a disgrace to the dockyard where they were built ; added to which, their weight was monstrously increased, as it were out of spite to the constructor of the vessel.

Robins, the auctioneer, attended at the Auction Mart, to sell by auction several renters shares in the Theatre Royal Drury lane, there being present several gentlemen connected with the thea trical world. In the particulars of sale it was stated, that originally a share was entitled to 2s. 6d. a night, but that the sum has been lowered to IS. 3d. per night. The auctioneer, however stated, that a renter of such a share now only received 41. per annum, though he had no doubt that next year, in consequence of the able management of Mr. Bunn it would have an increase of value. For many years he received 251. for his share per annum. There were tour shares, with a free admission to each, which was said to be worth 31. 10s. Two were s. id for I guineas each; another for GO guineas ; and the fourth for 59 guineas. BRUTAL OUTRAGE BY TWO SoLDIERS -- Gunners Holloway Spence and lifirnard Aulay, 7th battalion of the Royal Ar tillery, at Woolwich, were eh irged with committing a brutal assault upon Caroline Shin, Henry Bailey, and Charles Norman. It appeared that Caroline Ship was passing the night previous, about half-past ten o'clock, the Royal Standard, in High-street, when, without the least cause, the prisoner Spence knocked her down and kicked her.

La Grisette et L'hreritiere, a drama, in two sets , was performed for the first time in this co untry last evening. The scene opens in a mgaasin des modes, wher e we find Clothilde (Madame Doche), Seraphine (Made moiselle Anna Grave), and a number of other grisette se. employed in the production of millinery. C:othilde is a girl of sentiment and virtue. she is the pet of la,e r companions, and the beloved of Arthur Duresnel Rhozevil), the son of a rich manufacturer, whotte however, she rejects. until she ascertains that " hi s suit is honourable, his purpose marriage," and eve n then, although s he promises to love him eve r ' she endeavours to dissuade him from an alliance. inasmuch as she is not only of obscure parentage. bet, as she believes, a natural child, for she had never known a father and her mother had died of a broken heart' The father of Arthur has heard of his penchiint for Clothilde, and emplosx Athanase Pumaret, his n eehevi (M. Plunket), a hypocritical, vulgar dandy, a French snob, in fact, to endeavour to break off the match, promising him a handsome reward if he succeeds. Athanase makes love to Seraphtn e l and thus obtains admission to the magazine. an by mettna of forked letters, and various other honourable contrivances, inarages to make Cletbi' de believe that Arthur his deserted her. In the mesni nse certain M. Marcos (M. Dorgebra), the confiden tioi steward of M. Rihera, a rich Spanish merchant, arrive`;' an d seeks an interview with Clothilde. He discloses to her the fact that her father is this rich merchant c hi" r A that lie has sought her out as his only having lost a child by his last merriages that she is his legitimate child by his first merrier' and that he intends to make her his heir.

Marcos. Athanase promises to do so, but the Ili mite is not so easily performed. Arthur, having' h ea t , of the suicide of Clothilde for love of him, is attacked 'I I a brain fever, from which he only recovers to remain a state of incurable melancholy ; he has vowed eter,,ace fidelity to the memory of othilde, and wil l , ;,i hear of another marriage. His father, enraged, de / e' r s t that if he will not marry Int z, Athanase shall, ant to Athanase he will leave his whole fortune. The t 8 0 0 of Athanase are now changed, and he urges ?Phis Arthur the great virtue of fidelity to the memory o i r it parted love. Arthur, however, consents to see 0 1 1 ie and , on being introduced he is struck b , ~ is likeness to Clothilde. Still he cannot believe th is l a 15 Clothilde. He has an interview alone with her, ! n il rapidly falling in love with her when the intervr e ali interrupted by Athanase, who desiees to speak i sle Arthur alone, and who suggests that C int— ast may still be living, inasmuch as her body rata never been found, and that, probably, I ‘`„ s a iol; had abducted her for the purpose of about the march with Inez. Arthur determines: oe faithful to Clotbilde, but Athanase, seeking to Itlar` a ett surance doubly sure, suggests that Inez has anothe r " lil t and produces a gage d'amour which he had found in bsti possession. It is a gage d'amour which Arthur i d, given to Clothilde. The mystery is r eve it , ri• Clothilde, the grisette, and Inez L a te here are the same ; and the lover s , bits ' made happy, while Athanase is obliged to conte nt h aa self with his 100,000 francs, and the hand of Ser a !, ,to to whore he hail promised marriag e t w o years bei n ;ililo secure her services in sowing di scor d b e t w een Clot Do and Arthur.
