Morning 58 minutes ußer 4. Evening 16'minutes after 5. n the morning after the evening on which he had heard the de- ' ails of that measure, he felt his dutycompelled him to wait on Lord Althorp, and state to him that no plan of Church Reform in Ireland would please the public, in which it was not provided that part of the Church revenues were not applied to the instruction of the people generally, and it was unfit for him tb remain in the Government, and his resignation would have taken place had Lord Althorp not declared that in such an event he would feel it his duty also to retire, because that he himself also held the same opinions.—( Great cheering.) A new House of Commons was about to assemble, and we felt that they ought to be met by a uni ted Government. And it was upon that ground alone that he retracted his resignation, and gave in to the Church Tem poralities' Bill a as temporary measure.—( Hcar, and cheering. ) The Noble Lord then entered into some details respecting the mea sures of the late Government, and concluded by declaring declare that he had not brought forward the question to embarass Ministers.—(Hear, hear.) This was too important a question, one which too nearly concerned the vital interssts of Ireland, to let him be stopped for a single moment in proceeding with it by any consideration of its causing the retirement of any Ministry. Still less, therefore, would he give up his intention from any delicacy towards so unpopular a Ministry as the present. He was prepared to abide by the result, and he would confidently leave the question to the decision of the House. The Gallery was then cleared for a Division, when there appeared— For the Resolution Against it 289 MAJORITY AGAINST MINISTERS.... 33 On the announcement of the numbers from the Chair, it was accompanied with cheering for some minutes. The voice of Mr. O'Connell was particularly audible. Upon our return to the gallery, we found Sir R. PEEL on his legs, proposing that the debate, upon the bringing up of the Report, should be postponed till Monday. Lord J. RUSSELL objected to any postponement. He hoped the report would be brought up to-morrow. After some discussion the report was ordered to be brought up to-morrow. During the whole of this discussion the greatest excitement pre vailed throughout the House. The Opposition appeared quite elated, but the Ministers could with difficulty educe a eheer. Sir R. Peel was paler than he was even upon the Address ; he spoke with hesitation and difficulty although he endeavoured to make light of the matter. It was quite evident, both from the countenances of the Right lion. Baronet and his colleagues, that they considered that they had by this night's vote received their death-warrant as Ministers. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at a Quarter past Three this morning. PRICES OF STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK flank Stock 3 per Cent. Red. 3". per Ccnt.

HARDINGE, indeed, attempted something like an argument, but he had better have said nothing. " A still tongue maketh a wise bead," and the Right Hon. Baronet should have borne this adage in mind, before he ventured to grapple with such opponents as Messrs. SIIEIL and LITTLETON. A discreet silence, if it did him no good, could at least have done him no harm. A pertinacious loquacity has all but ruined his cause. For what was his reply to Mr. SIIEIL'S statement, that the Irish Bishops were enormously overpaid, and, as a proof of it, that the Archbishop of ARMAGH derived an annual in. come from his See of seventeen thousand pounds ? Why, merely this : that his Grace's income, so far from being seventeen thousand, was only fourteen thousand pounds per annum. Only fourteen Thou sand ! Is not this a virtual acknowledgment of the truth of Mr. SHEICS principle ? What matters it whether the sum drawn by the Archbishop from the , iost impoverished people on earth, be fourteen thou-- sand or seventeen thousand, provided it be satisfactorily proved that the sum he does receive, is at least four times as much as justice and common sense would assign to him? To dispute about a few hundreds, more or less, where the revenue confessed to is so pre posterous, is a mere,begging of the question. _ _ _ Mr. LITTLETON'S observations ;ere full of force and piquancy. His sarcasm cut like a Sheffield razor. Nothing could be happier than his allusions to the peculiar elasticity of Sir JAMES GRAHAM'S con science, which could stretch to such a degree as to allow him to vote for the abolition of ten Bishoprics, yet would not permit him to do au act of justice to Ireland, by devoting to the education of the people, the surplus that might remain over from the Protestant Establishment, after all its interests had been carefully provided for. The Right Hon. Gentleman put the question on its proper footing, when he stated that the " people reverenced both King and Church in propor tion to their utility." This, as regards the Church, is meeting the difficulty face to face. It is not a useful Establishment that we deprecate. Such a one we would do our best to maintain in all its dilcincv. It is the principle of a sinecure Church we condemn—a Church whose wealth is in exact proportion to its inutility. No one will be hardy enough to assert that Catholic Ireland has ever had value received for the enormous sums she has contributed to her Protestant Establish ment. In a spiritual, not less than in a temporal sense, she has been a considerable loser by it. Why, then, should she not complain ? And with justice so palpably on her side, why should not her complaints be attended to? The question is neither a Whig nor Tory one. It is not " cabined, cribbed, confined" within the narrow limits of party. It is one of uni versal interest, on whose decision hang the destinies of more than one kingdom. In her present oppressed condition, as regards her alien Church, Ireland, it is clear, will never be tranquil. In vain will you have recourse to temporary expedients to ward off the evil hour. You have tried them already, and they have failed. Change your whole system then. Be bold where you have been timid. Dare, for once, to be just, and trust to the gratitude of a nation for your recompense. Partial remedies will no longer avail you. The Irish Church is a crazy, rotten edifice, that can only be kept from tumbling about your ears, by some such process of renovation as Lord JOHN RUSSELL proposes to apply. There is no warrant in Apostolic history for such archbishoprics as that of Armagh. Timothy says nothing about them. Luke is silent on the subject. They are burdens, if not fastened on the shoulders of oppressed It eland, at least maintained there in all their rigor, by the dexterous hands of Toryism. But the hour has arrived when this incubus must be removed. For the first time since her con nexion with England, the sister -country must have leave to breathe freely. We have ridden her with whip and spur long enough. Let us now adopt a milder course of treatment. We have left ourselves little space to observe upon Lord STANLEY'S sour, petulant, and sarcastic speech, which we the less regret, seeing that it affords scarcely any room for comment. The utmost we can say of it is, that it was a very fair sample of t!..^ PrOsic acid school of oratory. The debate, we take for granted, will be concluded to-night, for the field of controversy has already been carefully reaped, and nothing can possibly remain but a few scanty gleanings. Yet, not withstanding this, Mr. HORACE Twiss, it is said, threatens the House with a long speech. Heaven help his hearers I An abstract relating to the Irish Church, and taken from the returns made in 1833 to the Privy Council, has just been printed on the motion of Mr. FINN. As it bears directly upon the great question which now occupies the attention of Parliament, we take from this document the following statement :—The total number of Benefices in Ireland -is 1,340 ; 845 of the incumbents are resident ; 460 are non-resident ; and 35 benefices are vacant, or no returns have been made. Of the 460 non-resident incumbents, 162 are exempt from residence as residing on other benefices, as Chaplains, Officials in Ecclesiastical Courts, Fellows of Colleges, Masters of Public Schools, Church Dignitaries, &c. ; 111 have Li censes in consequence of infirmity, want or unfitness of a residence, &c. ; and 187 are non-resident without license or exemption, but 83 of them perform the duties of their parishes. Of the benefices where the incum bents are non-resident, 177 are of the annual value of 3001. and upwards, and 124 under that sum. The number of Curates employed in Ireland is 365, of whom 118 are non-resident. There are 10 Curates whose stipend is under 10/. ; 17 from 101. to 20/. ; 14 from 201. to 30/. ; 4 from 301. to 40/. ; 6 from 401. to 50/. ; 10 from 501. to 60/. ; 29 from 601. to 70/. ; 154 from 701. to 80/. ; 19 from 801. to 90/. ; 28 from 901. to 100/. ; 33 from 1001. to 110/. ; and 30 above that sum. Such is the state of that Church from which its supporters would have us believe that we may expect the dissemination of the Protestant Faith, and the gradual extirpation of Catholicism in Ireland. This Church, which is described as being so zealous for the propagation of the " true faith," is now found to contain 460 non-resident incumbents out of 1,340, or more than one-third of the whole number, of whom 187 have not even the specious excuse of license or exemption for non-residence I Most of the curates, as usual, are starving upon beggarly pittances, al though the benefices of 177 of the absentee incum bents are worth upwards of 3001. a-year. Even of the curates 118 are non-resident ; so that 118 pa rishes must be entirely without spiritual aid in the Protestant Faith beyond the mere performance of Di vine Service on Sundays. Is this the system, then, which is to gain ground against the zealous exertions of the Catholic Clergy ? Is this the establishment for the maintenance of which Ireland is to be kept in a state of civil war, and Britain is to pay million after million in loans, gifts, and military establishments ? We have received the whole of the Paris Papers of Tuesday. Lord COWLEY delivered his credentials to the KING on Tuesday, as Ambassador Extraordinary from this Court. His MAJESTY received his Lord ship and Suite with great cordiality, as did the QUEEN and the Duke of ORLEANS. The Moniteur contains the following Royal Ordi nance respecting the trial of the prisoners of April : " Louis PHILIPPE, King of the French. To all present and come greeting. Seeing Art. 22, 28, 29, and 47 of the Constitutional Chamber, and Art. 4 of the Law of April 10, 1834, which determine the cases which the Chamber of Peers is formed into a Court of Justice, "Seeing Article 38 of the law, 22 Vintose year XII., of the following tenor : " Provision shall be made by regulations of public adminis tration for the execution of the law, and specially what con cerns 7thly, the formation of the list of Advocates and the discipline of the Bar ;" " Seeing the decree of the 14th December, 1810, and the Royal Ordinance of 20th November, 1822, contain regula tions for the exercise of the profession of Advocate, and the discipline of the Bar ; " Seeing article 4 of our Ordinance of 27th August, 1830, of the following tenor : " Reckoning from the same date (of the publication of the Ordinance), every Advocate inserted in the list may plead in all the Royal Courts, and all the tribunals of the kingdom, without needing any permission, saving the enactments of article 295 of the code d'instruction criminelle ;" "Seeing article 295 of the code d'instruction criminelle of the following tenor : " The counsel of the accused cannot be chosen by him, or appointed by the Judge, except from among the advocates or avou'es of the Royal Court or of its resort, unless the accused obtains from the President of the Court of Assize permission to for counsel one of his relations or friends ; " On the report of our Keeper of the Seals, Secretary of State for the Department of Justice and Ecclesiastical Affairs, " Considering that the regulations for the discipline of the Bar contain no special distinction respecting the exercise of the profession of advocate before the jurisdiction of the Court of Peers, and that it is fitting to make a provision on this point for the interest of the accused and of public order— '4 By the advice of our Council of State, we have ordained as follows : " Art. 1. Every Advocate inserted in the list of a Court, or of one of the tribunals of the kingdom, may exercise his office before the Court of Peers. Nevertheless, none but the Advocates in the Royal Court of Paris can be appointed ex officio by the President of the Court of Peers, conformably to Article 294 of the Code d' In struction Crintinelle. 2. The advocates who are called to exercise their office before the Court of Peers shall enjoy the same right, and be bound to the same duties as before the Courts of Assize. 3. The Court of Peers and its President are invited, with all the powers in regard to the Advocates, as belong to the Courts of Assize, and the Presidents of those Courts. 4.

By the latest accounts from Bayonne, we learn that General MINA is making the most active pre parations for opening a campaign, which is to effect the extirpation of the Carlists. So various and contradictory, however, are the rumours afloat, respecting the chances of the belligerents on both sides, that we can place no confidence in any communication we receive. Before the end of May Don C A RLOS pledges himself to have entered Madrid in triumph ; and MINA seeks not a longer period for presenting his Royal Mistress with the Prince in chains. We learn from the Paris papers received this day, that the Spanish Chamber of Deputies has granted the QUEEN the sum of 14,668,854 reals, to be levied as a tax upon spirituous liquors. We have received Dutch and German Papers of the latest dates. The Grand Duke of BADEN is extremely anxious to have it believed that he entertains no hostile designs agains the Swiss Cantons. Ambassadors from Foreign Courts are constantly arriving at Vienna with condolatory letters to the EMPEROR on the death 'of his late Imperial Majesty, FRANCIS I. The following is the only interesting paragraph in these Journals :-- " A great sensation has been excited in the public mind by a dreadful murder, committed at Pesth, by Count Francis Pre leznay. This man belongs to a wealthy Hungarian noble family. A dissolute way of living , had caused him to be plunged in debts, and induced_Count John, 116 elder brother, to have placed him under guardianship, as unable to manage his own affairs. Incensed at this, he went, on the 19th instant, at three o'clock in the afternoon, to his brother, with three loaded double-barrelled pistols; and called on him to have the decree against him revoked ; his brother refusing, he imme diately fired at him, and the ball lodged in his stomach ; he then discharged another ball, which wounded his brother's wife in the breast, and then wounded a civil officer, who hap pened to be present, with two balls in the arm and stomach. The brother struggled with him, and the servants hastening in, separated them. Count Francis got without hindrance into his' carriage, and then he proceeded to his own residence, where he was afterwards arrested by two officers and nine soldiers. The officer whom he wounded is dead ; it is said there are some hopes of saving the lives of the two other victims. A fearful occurrence took place in the family of Preleznay some years ago. A young brother of the above mentioned murderer assassinated their father, and was be headed. The Hungarian law condemns him who murders a father or a brother to be beheaded, after having had the right hand cut off. The son who murdered his father underwent this sentence, and the fratricide will not escape it. DUTCH FUNDS—AMSTERDAM, MARCH 31. Money, Bills.

THE DUKE OF GORDON'S DINNER.—On Tues day, the Duke of Gordon gave a sumptuous entertainment to the Officers of the First Battalion of Fusileer Guards, upon his being appointed to succeed his Royal Highness the late Duke of Gloucester, as Colonel of that regiment. The dinner was given at the City of London Tavern, the drawing-room of which was tastefully arranged for 80 guests. On the right of his Grace sat the Commander-in-Chief, Lord Hill, and on the left the Duke of Wellington, on whose left again sat Sir George Murray. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF PLATE AT SAMUEL RooEas, ESQ'S.—To the already numerous list of robberies of jewellery and plate which have recently taken place at the town residences of the Nobility and Gentry, we have to add one of an extensive description at the house of the author of The Pleasures of Memory," No. 22, St. James's-place. The man who is supposed to be the plunderer has been in the service of Mr. Rogers for the last seven years, and so high was the opinion entertained of him by his master, that he was entrusted with the whole of the valuable property in the house. A large reward is offered for his apprehension and the reco very of the property. DRURY-LANE THEATRICAL FUND.—The 18th anniversary dinner of this excellent Institution, established in 1777, for the relief of indigent persons belonging to their Ma jesties Company of Comedians, and their widows and chil dren, was celebrated last night, at the Freemasons' Hall. Up wards of 200 persons sat down to table, amongst whom we re cognized several distinguished patrons of the drama, and some of the leading members of the profession. The Right Hon. the Earl of Mulgrave presided. INCREASE AND DIMINUTION OF PUBLIC SA- LmuEs.—An account of the Public Salaries during 1834 is just published, which shows the total augmentation to have been 32,6831. 4s. 2d.; of which sum 25,0841. 16s. 4d. was for salaries, emoluments, and expenses, and 7,5981. 7s. 9d. for retired allowances. The total decrease was 75,0741. ; of which reduction 54,9161. 14s. 6d. was in salaries, emolu ments and expenses, and 20,1571. 2s. 10d. in retired al lowances. COURT OF ALDERMEN.—Yesterday, at a Court held for the despatch of business, Sir Peter Laurie gave notice of a motion to throw open the Court of Aldermen to the public. Alderman Copeland is, we understand, to second the motion of Sir Peter Laurie, which is to the effect of opening the Court upon all occasions, except those on which the sub jects of the police and local matters are discussed. The Court then unanimously adopted a resolution to protest against the vote of the Court of Common Council, recommending the periodical election of Aldermen. Yesterday despatches for Bombay were made up at the East India-house, and given into the charge of Captain P. M. Melvi,ll, of the Bombay establishment, who is proceed ing to India by way of Malta and Egypt. ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday afternoon about twenty minutes before five o'clock a small boat was observed in the Loch on her return from Greenock, with her sail set, and coming along in fine weather. In this boat it was known there were four persons. In about twenty minutes after the boat was seen, those who had previously been on the watch, observed she had disappeared, and immediately a boat was put off in search from Coalport Ferry. After some search they found the body of Mrs. M'Kay floating in the water, but none of the others were seen. In the look-out they also picked up a basket, in which was the great coat of Mr. M'Kay. It i 3 not known how the accident took place, although it is most probable the boat was upset by one of those sudden gusts of wind which are so common in those lochs, especially at this season of the year. IRISH CHußclr.—There are in the Church of England established by Act of Parliament in Ireland, accord ing to the Ecclesiastical Register : Parishes 2450 Perpetual Curacies ......... 109 Benefices 1396 Chapelries Churches 1192 Cathedral Churches ...... 24 In the province of Cashel, one-half of the benefices, are altogether destitute of churches; and in the provinces of 11.a.m one-third of the benefices are in a similar state of destitution. There is— One Bishop for 27,272 men, women, and children. One Treasurer for ditto. One Chancellor for ditto. One Precentor for 22,077 ditto. One Dean for 18,182 ditto. One Achdeacon for 17,647 ditto. One Prebendary for 3,331 ditto. One Clergyman for 331 ditto. Besides the Warden of Galway, and two ecclesiastical Provost.. FlRES.—Besides the destructive fire at Lord Di norben's, there have been several minor calamities of the same kind during the last two nights, in various parts of the me tropolis. At Mr. Hitchcock's, linen-draper, Waterloo-house, Finsbury, owing to the escape of gas from under the counter, a fire broke out about eleven o'clock at night, which destroyed or damaged much of the stock, and likewise the shop-fit tings. Owing to the dropping of a light on some straw, a fire occurred in the premises of Mr. Woolf, salesman, 31, Monmouth-street, and destroyed a bed and a quantity of wearing apparel. A bag of clothes, value 251., is stated to have been lost amid the confusion. Mr. Woolf was insured. The house of Mrs. Butcher, 4, Castle-place, Westminster, and the adjoining one of Mr. Nicholas, were likewise, the former greatly, and the latter slightly, damaged by an acci dental fire on Monday night. THE ROBBERY IN CHEAPSlDE.—Yesterday a Special Court of Middlesex Magistrates was held for the pur pose of receiving the report of the Committee appointed to investigate the charge preferred against Mr. Vickery, late Governor of the House of Correction, of having taken a very prominent part in the negotiation for the restoring of the pro perty stolen from Mr. Williamson of Cornhill, so as to enable the Court to determine whether his conduct was of that highly reprehensible kind to make it incumbent on the Court to withdraw the annuity of 2001. granted him " during pleasure." The report was read by the clerk. Mr. Laurie moved that it be printed and circulated, and that it be taken into considera tion the next Court-day. It was then carried, and the Court broke up. faCONFLAGRATION AT BUTE HOUSE.—(Addi tional Particulars.)—We lament to have the painful task of stating that all the magnificent productions of the pencil of Cipriani and other Italian artists, who flourished seventy years since in this country, are destroyed by the accidental fire which took place at this spurious mansion, built by the great Earl of Bute during the period of the Rockingham Adminis tration. These gems of art decorated five spacious saloons— we mean the walls and the architraves of the doorways—the style wholly Etruscan. In addition to the loss of most va luable furniture may be mentioned the massive mirrors from the ceilings to the floor, occupying every vacant space. The cause of the fire was as follows:—During the autumn of the last year workpeople were employed to erect a flue in the nur sery of the Earl of Cawdor's house, and they, cutting into the wall, brought the flue directly under a large horizontal beam in Bute House, which evidently had been in a smoulder ing state for many days. An express was sent down to Kin noul Park, St. Asaph, on Sunday morning. Bute House, in South Audley-street, forms a prominent feature when viewed from Hyde Park, with its four bow-fronts of a beautiful red brick and inimitable workmanship. MUNIFICENT PATRON OF LEARNING.---M.DUpill the elder, the " penny magazine" man of France, has lately made a donation to the town of Varzy, his native place, of a perpetual annuity of 50 francs (V.) This sum (1), destined for the encouragement of learning in the Commercial College of Varzy, towards the foundation of which the Hon. President of the Chamber contributed, will be employed every year in the purchase of books given as prizes to the deserving students. IMPROVEMENT OF THE BANKS OF THE THAMES. —We are glad to hear it is in contemplation by the Conserva tors of the Thames to erect, at convenient distances, proper landing places along the banks of the river, and, where it can be done with propriety, to form walks and drives for the re creation of the public. We trust no feeling of false economy will prevent the execution of a plan so fraught with real good. A few days ago several young women were fording the port at Boulogne-sur-Mer, in order to reach the beach of Chatillon, in order to fish for shrimps, when three of them sunk into a hole, and would have been drowned, but for the noble exertions of the two sons of Dr. Campbell, who instantly hastened to save them. The youngest, who is not more than 17 years old, soon brought two of the girls to shore, but one had been carried away by the waves, and must have inevitably perished, had not the eldest, who is an excellent swimmer, followed her, and after a long and arduous struggle succeeded in reaching her, and bringing her to the land. She had lost her senses, but was happily recovered. We understaud this is the third act of the same kind performed by the latter courageous youth. THE AIN, LONDON, TIiURSDAY, APRIL 2, 1835. PARLIAMEN TARY SUMMARY. Iv the HOUSE of LORDS last,night, Lord PLUNKET ad verted to a misrepresentation of his opinions by the Bishop of EXETER, and said that he should bring the subject under their Lordship's notice to-day. In the HOUSE of COMMONS the Hon. Mr. CoRRY an nounced his Majesty's answer to the Address connected with the London University, expressive of a disposition to forward the grant of the Charter. The Dover Improve ment Bill was read a second time : it was carried by a ma jority of 46. Mr. C. FERGUSSON presented a petition from Scotland, on the subject of Church reform. Mr. GLADSTONE moved that the order of the day for taking into consideration the Leicester Borough Election Petition be discharged. Mr. WARBURTON opposed the motion, which, after some discussion, an appeal to the SPEAKER, and a division, was discharged. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD then opened the adjourned debate on Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S motion, which he ably supported. Mr. PR AED opposed it ; and charged the opposition with inconsistency. Dr. LUSH INGTON triumphantly defended himself and his friends, and showed that the adoption of the principle asserted in the proposed resolution was essential to the peace of Ireland. Mr. B. THOMPSON could not think of touching the Re venues of the Irish Church. Mr. ' LITTLETON spoke at great length in favor of an appropriation of the surplus revenues—the appropriation proposed was consistent with the moral feeling of every class in the country. Sir H. HARDINGE urged the necessity of negativing the Resolu tion before the House. Mr. S. RICE answered the objec tions of the Gallant Colonel, and entered into a variety of important details, proving that the Motion involved a mea sure of sound policy and justice. Lord STANLEY, in a long and very clever speech, attempted to shew the impolicy of acceding to the motion before the House, after which, at two o'clock, the House adjourned. PARLIAMENTARY, BUSINESS. HOUSE OF COMMONS. NOTICES OF MOTIONS FOR THIS DAY. 1. Mr. Roebuck,—Bills to repeal the Cannon Tenures and the Ca nada Land Company Acts. 2.

S.W., in consequence of which, about thirty of .the vessels bound for the eastward, which had been detained here by contrary winds, put to sea. Some vessels, however, which neglected to go out with the ebb tide, were prevented afterwards doing so until its return, the flood tide having made, and the wind having suddenly shifted to the W. S. W. The Shannon, Mills, steam vessel, arrived here this evening from London, after encountering a very stormy passage. She sailed this evening for Dublin.

The arrivals this morning being few, and of - no material im portance, the public attention is entirely occupied with reading the debates of last night in the House of Commons, and which have again been adjourned to this day. During the early part of yesterday the funds were buoyant. Consols reached 92* for the Account, but towards the close of the market they rather gave way, and left off at 92 and 91i for Money. This morning Consols are more firm, and opened at 92 to * for t h e Account, and 91i for Money, with little doing at present. The public and monied interest are waiting for Sir R. Peel's speech. Exchequer Bills, 39-40 ; India Bonds, 19-21. The Foreign Market also closed at lower prices than in the early part of the day, and opened this morning, Spanish, at 56 1 1 i; Spanish Scrip improved to Si ; Columbia, 42i ; Portuguese firm at 94.1 f 95. The Dutch mad brings the of 24 per Cents. at 55i; 5 per Cents., 1004 1014. Up t 6 the present hour we have no further reports in the City respecting Ministers, but it is generally understood, that although they will be defeated in the division of the House, they are still determined to maintain their places. This has had the effect of keeping up the funds with the monied interest. HALF-PAST ONE. Up to the present hour we have a dead calm in the City, not even a single report to communicate at present ; all eyes are now fixed towards the expected division which is to take place in the House of Commons this evening, which has greatly agitated the minds of the public for these three days past. Consols continue firm at 92 for money ; for the Account, 924, with little doing. In the Foreign Market the chief speculation this morning was in Columbian Bonds, which have improved 2 per cent., owing to the reported recognition of the above State by the Spanish Go vernment. Spanish Bonds, 654 a ; Spanish Scrip, SS 4pm ; Portuguese Bonds, 944 i; Columbian, 434 ; Dutch, 24 per Cent., 55i 6 to 4 ; Exchequer Bills, 40 41 ; India, 20 21; 24 per Cents., 55i ; 5 per Cents., 101 4.

There are some clever papers on trade, commerce, and agriculture in this Magazine, and some useful remarks on the prices and profits of capital and labour. The cost of purchase, which is only two-penee, is so trifling as to place it within the reach of the poorest artizan. AN ENCY CL OP2ED IA OF GARDENING. Part XVIL Longman and Co. . _ We have so repeatedly recommended the object and exe cution of this excellent work, that we believe it is quite un necessary for us to do more than announce its appearance. When completed, it will form one of the most perfect treatises ever written on the subject of Gardening. The engravings are numerous and handsomely executed. THE ARCHITECTURAL MAGAZINE. Longman and Co. There is an evident improvement in the general character of this Magazine. The contributors to it are all men of great ability in their profession, and the subjects of which they treat, of the first importance to Architects. The " Mode of Securing Decayed Flooring and Partitions," is a valuable paper on a subject important to all owners and occupiers of houses. The designs are numerous and well delineated. THE FREEMASONS' QUARTERLY REVIEW. Sherwood and Co. This is a capital Number. Both in matter and in gene ral interest, it is superior to any of its predecessors. The " Essay" on one of the sources of human happiness, the Tale of the " White Apron," and the " Scenes" in Ame rica, are each excellent of its kind. The Masonic Institu tion is honoured by the support of such an able and intelligent advocate. THE LITERARY UNION. A MONTHLY MAGAZINE. Williams, Soho. As the present is but the second Number of this periodi cal, we feel a delicacy in expressing other than a most favourable opinion of it. We cannot, however, say much for it as yet. The best paper in this number is one on party spirit, which we read with much pleasure. THE ANALYST.—Simphin and Marshall. Our provincial friend, " The Analyst," is really growing up a fine fellow ; although still somewhat graver than we think becoming a person at his time of life. We hail the first flight of " Lionel Lockland" as propitious. Let him only take care that he does not soar too high—a fault, by the way, very common of late. The reviews and literary notices are both numerous and tastefully executed. THE MONTHLY REPOSITORY. Fox. This is a lighter and more agreeable number than any of its predecessors for the last six months. " High Church and Conventicle, a Sectarian Dialogue," is well executed ; and the "Sketches of Domestic Life" are caustic to a degree unusual, even with Mrs. Grimstone. The castigation which is given to Sir R. Peel for his pugnacious propensities will not be overlooked by the public. The accompanying observa tions are still more novel, more striking, and more universally intelligible. " Chinese Politics," is amusing—nothing more. As a satirical sketch, it is deficient in keenness and gravity ; as a.broad joke, it lacks humour and point ; and as a tirade against party, it is deficient in strength. The literary notices are not so numerous as usual, but they are equally well-written. THE DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE. Sinapkin and Marshall. " Saunter of Castle Saunter" is the most amusing article in this number. The style, the mode of expression, and the peculiarities of thought, indicate the presence of the author of " Sir Chippin Porrage," or our critical discern ment is not quite so unerring as we have sometimes ima gined it to be. The death of old Sir Simon Saunter is really a capital idea, just sufficiently worked out. Nor is the moral less striking than its quaint humour. The " Duel" in " Scenes from the Life of Edward Lascelles Gent." is too extravagant, even for an Irish boatswain on board the Emerald. The most remarkable literary production we have met with for some time is the article headed " What is an Orangeman ?" The object of the writer is to show that the Orangemen are the most pious, the most loyal, the most constitutional, and at the same time the most grossly calumniated body in the British Empire. For this purpose he enters into a brief analysis of the objects of Orangeism, and closes with an account of the forms gone through at the initiation of those who are admitted as members. Now, much as we disliked Orangeism before, we protest we are now a thousand times more opposed to it odpurely re ligious grounds ; and we are astonished to find that any clergy man of the Church of England could so far forget his sacred duty as a minister of the Gospel as to assist at such orgies. It is a profanation of the word of God—a sacriligious abuse of the most excellent of his gifts to man—to have it so much as named in the celebration of rites, the object of which is clearly to kindle dissensions, and hatreds, and religious ani mosities among the people. There is no mistaking this fact, if the tree is to be judged by its fruits. The present number of this able periodical is rather heavy. " Rambling Recollections" would please us better if it were longer. Toryism can boast of few champions more devoted to its cause than Anthony Poplar. Lord Nugent, the late Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands, with his lady and suite, arrived at Mivart's Hotel on Tuesday evening, from Corfu. His Lordship has been absent from England three years, and during the short interval between the Noble Lord's departure and the arrival of his successor, Major-General Sir Howard Douglas, the func tions of Government were confided to Major-General Sir Alexander Woodford. LORD DURHAM.—We are sure it will afford the country great satisfaction to be informed that a considerable improvement has taken place in the health of this distinguished and patriotic Nobleman since his return to the North. We understand his Lordship ha's recently visited Sunderland and Newcastle, and is daily regaining his former strength and ac tivity.—Durham Chronicle.} The Ministry will undoubtedly fall. If not, Sir Robert Peel will go mad, or die of nervous fever. I recol lect his constitution. He is suffering t more at this moment, than tongue can tell. A small cause would lay him on his back, never to rise again. Ido not mean that he is physically feeble, but mentally sensitive, and he has much to saw his nerves at present.--Morning Paper. PORT OF HuLL.—We perceive by a return just printed at the request of Mr. Hutt, M. P. for Hull, that the number of British vessels entered inwards last year, at that port, from the Colonies and foreign countries, was 894, and their tonnage 168,940; and that the number of Foreign ves sels was 626, and their tonnage 59,904. PARIS FASHIONS.—In Paris the velvet hats are now replaced by satin • the sides come down low on the face. Straw-coloured silk and lilac are the vogue at present. Satin capotes, with green flowers, are much worn also. The inside of the bonnet is lined with blond ; bows and bouquets of very small flowers. " THE GLORIOUS UNCERTAINTY."—III the cause, " Doe on the Demise of Smith v. Smart," tried at the Wilts Assize, the property at stake was worth 1,0001., while the expenses of the action were 7001. It is said a new tria is to be moved for, on the ground of " the verdict being against the weight of evidence in the cause, and against the opinion of the Judge, who summed up decidedly in favour of the plaintiff, The Hon. Mrs. Norton, we observe, is about to devote her brilliant talents to the production of a prose work, a novel, which, for power and feeling, it is said, will surpass any work of fiction lately published ; she is acknowledged to be among the most gifted of our poets, and from a cursory glance at the early portion of her forthcoming work, we pre dict that she will be equally distinguished in her prose compo sitions: its appearance will be anxiously looked for by the public. Coates undertook to walk forward one mile, wheel a barrow one mile, run a mile, walk backwards half a mile, draw a one-horse gig half a mile, run a pair of wheels half a mile, hop one hundred yards, jump over twenty hurdles or sticks, of an equal height, each five yards apart, and pick up fifty stones, one yard apart, in a straight line, and put each singly into a basket; being nine various feats all within one hour. He won the match. RYE.—On Wednesday the 18th ult. a deputation of members of the Rye Friendly Benefit Society waited lipon the Rev. R. R. Knott to present him with a handsome silver salver, on his resignation of the chair of that Society, in conse quence of his being about to remove to a curacy at Upper Clapton, near London. The treasurer, Mr. John Fowle, in an appropriate speech, referred to the high estimation in which the Society held the character and services of Mr. Knott, and begged his acceptance of the testimonial brought by the depu iation. The reverend gentleman returned thanks in a suitable and eloquent address. Another piece of plate is to be pre sented to the reverend gentleman on the part of the inhabitants in general, and the subscription for it already amounts to a con siderable sum. He has been for fifteen years an active, zea lous and efficient minister in this parish. He was a most atten tive and affectionate friend to the sick and the poor, and a most able and eloquent preacher; and it is therefore no wonder that the loss of him is deeply felt by the parishioners. Mr. Knott preached a most impressive and affecting farewell sermon, to a numerous congregation, on Sunday the 22d ult, DUBLIN ELECTION COMMITTEE- (THIS DAY.) The Committee met at half-past eleven o'clock. Mr. LONG (the Town-Clerk of Dublin), who was under examination when we left, underwent a long cross-examinat ion by the counsel for the sitting Membert He could not posi tively undertake to say that he actually saw the execution , the affidavit in question. He saw the Lord Mayor a dminister_ ing some oath to the High Sheriffs, but what the substanceof it was, he was unable to say. The signatures to the affidavit, purporting to authenticate the poll, he was certain were the hand-writing of Arthur Perrin, now Lord Mayor of Dublin, and of Messrs. Hyndman and Carolan, the present High Sheriffs. On this question, viz., whether this was sufficient evidence to authenticate the affidavit verifying the poll-books, a long ar gument ensued, in which Messrs. O'Connell, D. Pollock, Harrison, nd Wrangham, took part. The dommittee retired for a few minutes, and on returning to the Court, the Chairman read the following resolution.' Resolved :—" That it is the opinion of this Committee, that the validity of the affidavit has been sufficiently proved." Mr. O'CONNELL rose to make his application for a CO' mission, and first called the attention of the Committee to the Act of Parliament (the 42d Geo. 3. sec. 4, gimp 106) upon which he proposed to ground that application. He was proceeding with his motion when we lat. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE• CHELTENHAM STEEPLE RACES—YirsnutO les r• Sweepstakes of 10 soya. each, and 25 added. 25 subs. Four mi.

COOL The question in this case was, whether the represent:l6"g of a wife to whom alimony had been decreed in the Ecclesias tical Courts could file a bill in this Court to recover the ai : rears of that alimony, which had been suffered to accrue t b '" hands of the husband. His Lordship was clearly of op ie t i ' that a bill for the recovery of arrears of alimony could not 1^ sustained. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT• THELLUSON V. WOODFORD. Mr. KNIGHT having replied, His HONOUR commenced his judgment with some obav a tions upon the singular will of the late Mr. Thelluson , biy said that the Court throughout the whole litigation oflori case seemed to have been guided in allowing costs by an C m 0 • upon principles of public policy to defeat the enormous ee e to mulation which the testator had calculated upon. Ther e Is no doubt that both the recent Act of Parliament and this cussion would have the effect of curtailing any furthe r pense that could be spared ; and without prejudice to ate question how future deeds of transfer should be prepared , „,l would simply order that the costs of all parties should be P'" out of the estate. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY• RAIKES' BANKRUPTCY. Yesterday (Wednesday) S an adjourned meeting of the ditors of R. M. Raikes, Esq., the late Governor of the P of England, was held before Mr. Commissioner Evans,.;soa sat in the Judges'-room, for the declaration of a first divrlbets, upon the bankrupt's separate estate, and for the proof of u e o f The meeting was very numerously attended.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE, Q UEEN-SQ UARE. Three well-known vagabonds, named Henry 1 101 h ioy Robert Clarke, and John Wakeling, all of them veil I' s o o ably dressed, were placed at the Bar, before MessrV% and BURRELL, charged with frequenting the House ‘ or iOd g mons, with intent to commit felony, they being thieves. Charles Dawson, one of the officers of this establelfe stated that, in consequence of a message received at.lil°o o o B from the House of Commons, that the avenues of tie were infested by a gang of the swell mob, he went, ireise'e with another officer, to the House, and observed the ef, er t goners (who he knew as reputed thieves), acting in the lobby. Rosamond was one of the leaders of tbe or io s ' mob, and only a short time since had rendered himselfrPp r oit,i; by escaping, through the assistance of some of his tP t i from the custody of Dawkins, an officer, belongitig ps , os s office. He had, after that, been taken at Doncaster .ra c o, $ committed for three months to the House of Correc ti r ie s ,; Wakefield, as a reputed thief; at the end of whicE ba l .P o ote o i ment Dawkins conveyed him to London, and he was ui lsl is tried at the last Surrey Sessions, but acquitted from he r t conclusive evidence. The witness added, that the a t " - parties were well-known as forming part of the Rang. :‘,lard Rosamond, in answer to the charge, addresscd the' he O A strates at very considerable length, and argued that, I c ijer r been acquitted by a Jury of his country, he mus*. - be " 11- an innocent man. r ifo oft Clarke said that he merely went to the Coltrini o: , - ,,, in cc. 3 from curiosity ; and Wakeling alleged that he-was able ginger-beer manufacturer Tower-street, Lam" t o incapable of the offence. h The Magistrates committed theta for two months ePc a the House of Correction. o il , 06 It is generally supposed that the swell mob kave plentiful harvest in the different Committee-rooms d 111 : 1 iari ll present Session.
