T~ ~~4 _~~. :.~ ~ `'~.'k t han that they were enemies to the country. A continu• arcs of such like and other abuses had rendered it necessary that they (the House) should be heard in the House of Commons. They had.been heard in the House of Com mons, where their cause had been advocated by their worthy and talented agent, Mr. Roebuck, and also by Messrs. Hume and O'Connell. This, however, was not sufficient to make the British Ministry sensible of the justice of their com plaints ; it became necessary for them to stop the supplies in this province before promises could be obtained from his Majesty's Ministers that their grievances would be settled, and it was on the faith of the sincerity of these promises that they had been induced to enter upon a session. These promises had been but very 'partially fulfilled in recalling. the late Governor-in-Chief. The people of England ought to be well convinced that after the war which had been waged between the Houses of the Legislature in this pro• vince for so long a period, the mere recal of an odious Governor would not be sufficient to re-establish peace and harmony, with the Legislative Council still constituted as at present. The wish of the people to have the Le gislative Council elective—which must eventually be granted—was not alluded to in his Excellency's speech ; and it was not possible for them to imagine whether the scandalous fact that twenty corrupt men should still con tinue to say " nay," when the people said " yea"—whether the country was still to be afflicted with such a monstrous absurdity, could not be gathered from his Excellency's speech. It was useless to say that the Act 31 Geo. 111. was that which conferred on the inhabitants of this province the rights of British subjects, and could not be altered. It was not the Act of 1721 which conferred on tl:c people of this province their rights as British subjects —they possessed those rights before the passing of that Act, which if found to be defective, it was monstrous to say could not be altered to suit the views of the people. The inhabitants of this province possess their rights as Bri tsh subjects by being Englishmen on coming into the coun try, and bringing them as their -birthright, and they could not be taken from them. It was a monstrous absurdity to say the present order of things must continue, when the people, whose wishes ought to be considered as law, de manded a change ; to say that the Legislative Council, against which the people had been crying out for the last twenty-five years, should still continue in its present form, was a position which could not be maintained. If, there fore, they had reason to believe that their complaints had been attended - to ;if they had reason to believe that the discontent so prevalent in the province, and which would be likely to awake the attention of our neighbours, who were generally allowed to be pretty minute calculators ; if these considerations had induced the British Government to adopt measures for settling the difficulties of this pro vince, the House must, of course, suppose that a man had been sent out who was sincere in his protestations, and although much was not promised, yet that little gave a hope that more would follow, and the House ought to let it be known that more was required than promised in his Excellency's speech. If the House believed the protesta tions contained in that speech to be sincere (and it was only in that belief that it could have been induced to enter upon a session), it was incumbent on it to be sincere also in its answers. It was necessary to explain the views of the House with openness and sincerity, without avoiding the question ; and this find been done in the Address then under consideration, with' a great deal of talent. Any per son reading this address must feel convinced that it was a chef deruvre of style and politics. There was a firmness in its tone, and, at the same time, an urbanity in its words, which were most admirably combined ; the most severe and unwelcome truths were so softened down by the mild terms in which they were couched, that any . _ one could but ad mire the talent which had produced such a composition. The views of the House were so fully expressed in it, and the determination of the representatives of the people to persist in their demands for the redress of abuses so well set forth, that he thought the House could not do better than adopt it. By so doing the House would he acting consistently with its former conduct, and insure respect for its firmness. It was only by reiterating its complaints that it could hope for success. "II font avoir trois fins raison pour sine fois justice," was a maxim which could well be applied to the House in its relation with the Bri tish Government. It was necessary that the House should bear in mind that persons coming from England naturally associated with the Aristocratic portion of the community here, and in consequence imbibed the opinions of that class, and unless the people made themselves continually beard, " d grands erns," it was hardly to be expected those indivi duals, from a cold sense of justice, would attend to their interests, which were entirely dissimilar to theirs. It would be deplorable if the House allowed itself to he lulled to sleep on the brink of a precipice by fine words, and thus lose the fruits of its dear-bought experience. For the last. 25 years the people bad been crying out against the Legis lative Council, and the House lately had been forced to adopt extreme measures to make those complaints heard, and it was incumbent for the House to support its proceed ings, by declaring that it. had " adopted constitutional Means for obtaining the redress of grievances and abuses." The people had demanded a change in the Constitution, and he (Mr. P.) knew of no legitimate authority which could oppose the wishes of the people ; the will of the people ought to be the law. The people had demanded an EleutiVe - Council, and every day that passed without this demand being attended to, was a day of injustice. When Messrs. Vigor and Morin conununicated with the British Ministers on this subject tour-a-tour, Messrs. Stanley and Rice, without exactly repelling the demand for an Elective Council, without making known their sentiments on the sub jeet, stated that they knew of no means by which the wishes of the Canadians in this respect could be granted. It was ex tremely prebliniatical, said they, that such a bill would pass the House of Commons ; and even if it did pass that body, the House of Lords would most assuredly reject it ; that even if all the weight of Ministerial influence was brought to bear on the question it could net be carried. His Excellency's epeech said that there were some of the demands of the peo ple of this province which could only be decided upon by the Imperial Parliament, which was as much as to say, that they would not be granted, from the opinion of Messrs. Stanley and Rice above alluded to. He could not compre hend this reasoning. When a law was passed in the province it ought to be sufficient ; there was no necessity for any inter ference with the Legislature of the country from without ; the province ought to be left alone in the management of its own affairs, and not troubled with interference from without. This, of course, could not apply to the question of an elec tive council, but it surely ought to be sufficient for the Im perial Parliament to know that one of its Acts affecting this province was obnoxious to the people, to amend it. It was much to be deplored that the Ministry had not armed the Governor with power to decidC this measure. Ile thought that of two things one ought to have been done ; either empower the Legislature of this province to amend the Act of 1791, which, however, could not be done agree ably to the wishes of the people with the present Legis lative Council, or let the Imperial Parliament pass a law to that effect. He (Mr. Papineau) would ask who gave authority to that question ? Whom, could it compel to appear before it unless it was a certain class of officials to whom any one with the appearance of grandeur and . authority could say, " Craignez, et venez ?et ils vien nent ; allez ? et ils vont ; humiliez-vouz ; et ils s'humilient." By acknowledging that Commission, the House would be degrading itself ; it would thereby say that the grand in quest of the country was paralyzed by the presence of three Commissioners, with no legal authority ; it would be saying that the House had not the right (not conferred by the King, but by higher authority—the people), to compel public officers and individuals to ,appear before it. The House of Assembly had indcriiiere extensive powers than the Commission, and consequently was the most proper to institute inquiries into the state of the province. The in tentions in appointing the Commission were, however, no doubt good ; but the House could not acknowledge such a body without degrading itself. It had the best right to examine the affairs of the province, representing, as it did, half a million of freemen. The Commissioners, therefore, might go on with their inquiries alone ; they might learn what they could, and say what they liked—the House of Assembly would have the same right too, if the result of their (the Commissioners') decisions should be found to be • unfavourable to the country ; the House of Assembly • would have their agents in the House of Commons, to ac • cuse them if they did wrong. He did not suppose that anything of the kind would happen, hoping as he. did that the results of the inquiries of the Commissioners would be the means of obtaining justice for the country ; but as they were sent out here without the authority of the law, the House could not safely acknowledge them. He considered that the Committee, in drawing up the Address, had evinced great prudence in not mentioning the Commission. There was no part of his Excellency's speech which asked the House to acknowledge the Commission. The House, of course, wished their inquiries every success, and would be willing to assist them, but it could not recognise them officially, as that would be surrendering its own rights. By recognizing the Commission, the House would be involving itself in those dark courses alluded to in the conclusion of his Excellency's speech. He therefore thought the amend ment ought to be rejected without hesitation ; and the paragraph, as reported, adopted, with thanks to the Com mittee for the able manner in which it had executed its task. [The above is but an outline of the arguments made use of by Mr. Papineau, who spoke for upwards of an hour and a half.] By accounts from New Grenada we learn that a de cree had been published, prohibiting the exportation of gold. The late Sir James Mackintosh, in one of his letters from Bombay, mentions the arrival of a Persian Ambassa dor, who, " among other remarkable piece's of state, was attended by four hangmen, with their axes on their shoul ders, on his visit of ceremony to the Governor, and on his receiving the latter at his house." a v PRICES OF :':FOCIiS TII Ig DA Y AT JNI O'CLOC Sank 5t0ck....... ........... ....... 2111 Incra Stock shut 3 per Cent Red 9(M 90 1,•fl Ditto Bonds 3 pm. i per Cent Cons shut i South : , ea Stock — 1 , :, per Cent .. --1 Old Annuities Dim) Red New 134 per Cent N'ets 3 per Cent —' Exch.

The Address of the House of Representatives of Lower Canada, in answer to the speech of his Excel lency, Lord Go sFORD, Governor-General of the Province, on opening the Legislative Session, will be perused with lively interest. Fifty-two Members were deputed by the Assembly to wait upon his Lordship with the Address, when contrary to the practice of all former Governors-General, be replied to it first in French, and subsequently in English, thus inverting the previous form. The Address is conciliatory ; but there is one omission in it which proves that there is yet a wide breach to be filled up, before a reciprocity of confidence and mutual good feeling can be hoped to exist between the House of Assembly and the Executive. This omission refers to the Extraor. dinary Commission appointed by his Majesty to inquire into the abuses of the Executive, and to ascertain the real wants and wishes of the people; and yet, although his Excellency the Governor-in- Chief is head of that Commission, the question is not once mooted in the course of the Address. This omis sion was not unintentional on the part of the House of Assembly; for when Mr. CLAPHAM, a member of the House, proposed, on the reading of the third para graph, that all the words after " Government," inclu sively, to the end of the paragraph, should be struck out, and the following substituted :—" We consider it a proof of the wisdom and magnanimity with which his Majesty has listened to our complaints, that a Com mission, of which your Excellency is the head, has been appointed for the purpose of inquiring fully, and upon the spot, into the complaints which have been made ; and we confidently hope that the conclusions to which the Commissioners will come, and the final result of their labours will be satisfactory to all classes of his Majesty's subjects—" he was assailed on every side by loud cries of " Question, question," and the amend ment negatived by a large majority. Mr.PAPINEAu, who addressed the House after Mr. CLAPHAM, said, " By acknowledging that Commission the House would be degrading itself ; it would thereby say that the grand 0 THE SUN, LON - DON, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1855, inquest of the country was paralyzed by the presence of three Commissioners, with no legal authority ; it would be saying that the House had not the right (not conferred by the King, but by higher authority—the • people), to compel public officers and individuals to appear before it. The House of Assembly had much more extensive powers than the Commission, and con , sequently was the most proper to institute inquiries into the state of the province. The intentions in appoint ing the Commisslon were, however, no doubt good ; but the House could not acknowledge such a body without degrading itself. It had the best right to examine the affairs of the province, re presenting, as it did, half a million of freemen. The Commissioners, therefore, might go on with their inquiries alone ; they might learn what they could, and say what they liked—the House of Assembly would have the same right too, if the result of their (the Commissioners') decisions should be found to be un favourable to the country, the House of Assembly would have their agents in the House of Commons, to accuse them if they did wrong. He'did not suppose that anything of the kind would happen, hoping, as he did, that the result of the inquirieS of the Commis sioners would be the means of obtaining justice for the country ; but as they were sent out here without the authority of law, the House could not safely ac knowledge them. He considered that the Committee, in drawing up the Address, had evinced great prudence in not mentioning the Commission. There was no part of his Excellency's speech which asked the House to acknowledge the Commission. The House, of course, wished their inquiries every success, and would be willing to assist them, but it could not re cognize them officially, as that would be surrendering its own rights. By recognizing the Commission, the House would be involving itself in those dark courses alluded to in the conclusion of his Excellency's speech." It is not difficult to discover in this language the seeds of a strong and uncompromising opposition to the Government. The ferment is allayed for the present ; but on the slightest provocation the evils inherent in the system will again become visible. It is - plain to every person that the House of Assembly does not place any confidence in the Government of the Mother country, and that while it consents to allow the Exe cutive time to redeem its pledges, it takes care, in the mean time, to be prepared against the hazards of their non-fulfiment. It will be observed that the address only touches upon two measures not recommended in his Ex cellency the GOVERNOR'S speech —namely 'the extension of the elective Franchise, and the re sponsibility of Ministers. Now both these measures are of the first importance ; and both ought to be dealt with in such a spirit as would meet with the sanc tion of the House of Assembly. The responsibility of Colonial Governments is more important and ne cessary, than the responsibility of the Members of a Cabinet, as far az regards acts done within the King dom ; and for this plain reason,—the Provincial Go vernments are under no check, and subject to no di rect and immediate control in the exercise of their functions. In' London a Minister of the Crown is subject to the influence of public opinion and the laws; but in the Colonies a Governor-General and his depu ties in every department, are, in fact, liable to no direct controul whatever ; and if disposed to abuse their power, may commit, with the greatest impunity, acts of outrage and oppression, calculated to alienate the affections, and shake the allegiance of a whole people. In a word, Reforms in the Canadas ought to be CM a scale so extensive as to leave the peOple no cause for preferring the Republican institutions of the United States to the Constitutional Government of Great Britain. Their proximity to the States—the induce ments he!d out to them by certain Members of Con gress who are ready to recognize their country as States of the Union—their intercourse with the inhabitants — and the ridicule to which they are exposed for yielding to a power whose yoke has been rejected by the rest of their countrymen, are powerful arguments in favour of free institutions ; an extensive right of suffrage ; and a responsible executive. Much will depend on the prudence of the present GOVERNOR-IN-CH lEF ; and if we may be permitted to form a judgment of the future from the occurrences of the past, his Majesty's Ministers have much reason to congratulate themselves on the appointment of Lord GOSFORD to the discharge of so important a duty. He has commenced his Canadian career in .a spirit of peace, of conciliation, and of extensive concession. He has disarmed his very enemies ; and though they refuse to trust him to the extent which he desires, they are prepared to allow him a fair trial before proceeding to any extreme measures. The French Journals of Monday, received this morning, continue to discuss the question of a war be tween France and the United States of America. The Journal des Debats has a long article on the subject, in which the writer endeavours to show that France has done all that she could do, consistently with a regard for her own honour, to avert a rupture with the Federal Govern ment, and that if a war ensue, America only will be to blame. " Our Government has done all that it ought to do," says the Journal des Debats, " and it is now for America to take some step. The funds for the indemnity are voted, and the Government is ready to pay the whole. What France demands from Ame rica is not a disgraceful act of submission, but a satis factio❑ equally honourable for the two countries. If reason prevails in the deliberations of the American democracy, the debt contracted towards the honour of France will be paid with the same good grace that France offers to discharge her own obligations. If America chooses to remain in her actual position be tween peace and war, let her ; France will keep the 25,000,000 f. If it be easy for the President JACK SON to be insolent, it will also be easy for the French Government to show that it has acted throughout with moderation and good faith. * * The Government recognized the claim of the United States as legitimate, and has allowed the debt. But it also thought the honour of France wounded by the expres sions of the head of the American Republic, and it has demanded, in its turn, a satisfactory ex planation before payment. If it do not obtain this, it will not pay. If war is made upon it, it will be repulsed with all the energy of a good cause, and with all the power of a great nation. In this conduct there is nothing but dignity, moderation, and courage." The merest tyro in reasoning would be able to refute such sophistzy as this. The insult which France com plains was not voluntary on the part of America—it was provoked by her bad faith with respect to the payment of a just debt. The relations of debtor and creditor in which the countries stood to each other left the PRESIDENT no other course, under the pe culiar circumstances, than that which he adopted. Besides, a pecuniary debt cannot cancel an insult in the opinion of any honourable mind. As we have stated again and again, France has but one means by which she can enter upon a war with America with credit to herself; and that is by preceding all hostilities and all apologetic demands by a liquidation of the whole of the debt. We are really surprised that the French Go vernment does not see the question in this point of view. By its determination, or 'rather by the absurd amendment proposed on the Indemnity Bill, French , honour is estimated at so many francs, and insults offered to the nation may be computed for in the same way as murder, according to the laws of the Saxons. Now, a Government that can coolly enter into a legal pecuniary computation of its honour can neither expect to be esteemed nor trusted is by its allies. The course in which France bound justice to herself to pursue is easy enough. The Journal des Debats says the money due to America is ready. Let France pay it first, demand such apologies as consists with her dig nity afterwards, and in the event of a refusal on the part of the Federal Union, then declare war. This is the just—this the honourable course. The Moniteur contains the following telegraphic dispatch from Fabres, dated the 2d inst. " Yesterday, at two o'clock in the morning, about 200 fu gitive Carlists passed before Rienmajor, proceeding towards Navarre. They announced that they would be followed by a great number of their friends, who, like themselves, are un willing to serve any longer, and are returning to their homes. Strict vigilance is being exercised to protect the valley of Aure." PARIS, DEC. 7.—We have letters from Genoa of the 28th ult. At that time the naval division which has just been equipped in that port, had not sailed. It is commanded by Admiral Serra. Its destination is still a mystery, but from the movements of the partisans of Don Miguel and Don Car los in that country, there is reason to believe that Charles Albert is going to attempt to second the efforts of the two Pretenders. • The King of Sardinia had been at Genoa ever since the sth ult. He causes the troops which he has assembled there to manceuvre there almost every day, as well as the squadron, consisting of eight men-of-war. Extraordinary levies of sea men are made, and the Geonese merchantmen which are at sea take care not to return, as they would lose their crews. The Prussian squadron had not arrived, but was very shortly expected off the island of Sardinia. The letters from which we derive these particulars make no mention of an insurrec tion in that island.—Toulonnais. A letter from Genoa, of November 29, says—" No doubt is entirtained that the vessels laden with powder and arms are to go to Catalonia under the escort of the corvette and steam boat which waited for them at Savona. " Yesterday, two men of War, one of twenty-four, the other of sixteen guns, were descried four or five leagues from the coast. A cutter and a brig immediately went to recon noitre them. " Within this month 1,500 seamen have arrived, but they are not sufficient to complete the crews. The Frigates have required great repairs : the Genoese Merchantmen are in good condition ; but the Royal Marine has greatly declined. " What most surprises us is the number of Spanish monks who have come from Rome and Naples, and whom the King causes to be very well treated. It is not known whether be means to make use of them as precursors or preachers, but it seems they are to emipark. " There are several Spaniards here who were at Rome in the service of Don Sebastian ; they are accompanied by an ecclesiastic, a member of the Apostolic Chamber, who appears to have a mission from his Holiness relative to the expedition. " The French Carlists have removed to Genoa the meetings which they used to hold at Nice and Villa Franca. Among the news which they propagate every day, is that of the arrival of the Russian squadron, and an auxiliary squadron from Hol and."—Messager, Dec. 7. FRENCH FUNDS.—PARIS, DECEMBER 7.

An adjourned Meeting of the Westminster electors was held yesterday for the purpose of coming to some decision on the subject of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT'S late letter to the members of BROOKES'S, when a resolution, proposed by Mr. TYRRELL, to the effect that, ' 6 Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, by his vacillating conduct for the last four years, and par ticularly by his late insidious attempts to break up the present Administration, has disentitled himself to our future support.; and that it is the determination of this Meeting to adopt the most effectual and energetic means to oppose his return for this city, in the event of a general election," was carried by a considerable majority. We do not see that the Westminster electors, acting with a becoming regard to their own principles, could have come to any other decision than this ; for as Mr. TROUT well observed, " looking at all the cir cumstances of the case, he could not divest himself of the conviction, that the letter in question was written with the intention of breaking up the Ministerial ma jority in the House of Commons." It is a sad thing to find a Statesman like= Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, to whom the country, in the years that are gone, has been so deeply indebted, thus in the autumn of his life, sacrificing his high political character for the mere purpose of standing well with the Tory Aristocracy. However, as he has made his own political bed, so must he be content to lie on it. Henceforth all con nection between himself and the Westminster electors has ceased for ever. ALARMINGTIRE AT THE RESIDENCE OF LADY MONTFORD.—On Saturday evening a fire broke out in the •littise of. Lady Montford, Saamare-place, Park-lane, which caned much &Min. It appears that the house is under going some repairs, and that the workmen had been making a large fire in one of the upper apartments, when soon after their departure, a dense boirof, smoke was seen to issue from that part of the house. In,a short time the adjoin ing house, occupied by Lady Blessington, was filled with smoke, which caused the greatest alarm to her Ladyship. A number of servants being collected, they rushed up stairs with buckets of water, and with difficulty succeeded in quenching the flames before they had time to gain the as cendancy. The flooring and skirting-boards were much burnt, but fortunately no other damage was sustained. Lady Montford, who was from home at the time, was immediately sent for ou the breaking out of the fire. Vice-Admiral Sir George Cockburn is expected to return from his command on the West India, Halifax, and Newfoundland station in the course of the ensuing month, his time of service (three years) having expired on the 6th inst. Vice-Admiral Sir Peter Halkett's nomination to succeed Sir George by Earl de Grey, has been confirmed by the present First Lord of the Admiralty. Mr. Abercromby, only son of the Speaker, newly appointed resident Minister at Florence, vice Sir George Hamilton Seymour, will remain at the Court of Berlin until the arrival of his successor, Sir George Hamilton, from Brussells. Great regret, we understand, is expressed in the fashionable circles of the Belgic capital at the ap proaching departure of Sir George, who had been acting as Secretary of Legation and Charge d'Affaires since the ap pointment of Sir Robert Adair to the Embassy in 1831. W e understand that a- circular has been issued by the Lords of the Treasury to the several charitable insti tutions in Ireland receiving Government grants, to ascertain the solvency of the securities ent ere d i nto b y t h e o ffi cers o f the respective charities there, " with a view to the protec tion of the public against the defalcations which have here tofore been experienced."

CURIOUS CONSPIRACY I In the Court of Exchequer on Friday, alter some business of no public interest Iva:4 disposed of, Mr. Flood, the Gen tleman who was in custody last summer for a breach of privi lege, in addressing the House of Commons from the gallery, addressed the Court at some length, and with great vehe mence, stating he was entitled to 2001. a-year, of which he was deprived by his brother ; and as he alleged, with the consent of Government. He added he had given -notice to Lord Morpeth to appear there, and defend the Government if he dare Baron PENNEFATHER--- Really the Court cannot listen to this irregular proceeding. Mr. Flood—What ! do you refuse the right of the humblest subject ?—justice. Baron PENNEFATHER—You must apply in the regular manner. Mr. Flood—Oh ; yes ; you-are all against me from the highest to the lowest. Mean as I vpear, my Lords, I could have been returned, at the last general election, either for Kilkenny or Tipperary. Refute that, Mr. Shell or Mr. Finn. —( Loud laughter.) Mr. HOLMES—No doubt you start on the radical interest.— ( Continued laughter.) Mr. Flood—l charge Government with a base conspiracy against me. Baron PENNEFATHER-Oh ! send for the Attorney-General. —( Shouts of laughter, in which the Court joined.) Mr. Flood—When Parliament shall have assembled, I will impeach the Irish executive. Mr. Sergeant JACK3ON, M. P.—Let your proceeding be more moderate than your last effort in the House. Mr. Flood then bowed to the Court and retired. He is understood to be highly connected in the county of Waterford. —Dublin Mail. CORPORATION OF DUBLIN. The following report of a case in the Lord Mayor's Court presents a specimen of the iniquitous system of the Corpo ration of Dublin, even in the minor deparfthents. The rea der will recollect that the cause assigned•by the Tory Peers for summarily rejecting the Dublin Police Bill last session, was, that the Corporation had not been consulted regarding that measure of municipal reformation. The Court of Conscience, continues the Dublin Post, is the nest where the Lord Mayor, after his year of office, receives golden eggs for dispensing justice according to his conscience! It is, in fact, the Court where the Corporation pays its Chief Magistrate :--- " On Thursday, a man named Kelly, preferred a complaint before the Lord Mayor against Mr. Kirwan, the Registrar of the Court of Conscience, for not paying over to him a sum of It. which had been deposited with him. It appeared that Kelly had summoned a person of the name of Clooney for 1/., and the latter lodged it in the Court with Mr. Kirwan ; but although it remained there twenty-two days he refined to give it up. " Mr. Kirwan stated, that it was the rule when money vas lodged in Court by a defendant, that it could not be given to the opposite party without his written consent. " The Lord Mayor—Do you mean to say that the plaintiff cannot get his money until the defendant consents? " Mr. Kirwan—l do. " The Lord Mayor—That is most preposterous. " Mr. Kirwan—That is the rule in the Court of Conscience. " The Lord Mayor—l may have a little conscience myself; I have met little in the world; and I believe there is less in the Court of Conscience 1—( Laughter.) The money must be paid to the poor man, who cannot afford to be kept out of it during the pleasure of his adversary, and I do not like money to be kept in Court, lest persons might suspect that it would be traded on by those who had the care of it. ". This adjudication was loudly applauded by those who were present." THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY). CITY: TWELVE O'CLOCK. Our arrivals this morning area French ,mail, with our ex press from Paris.

It is said that they are to resign the Commission. Upon inquiry, we have ascertained that there is something of the kind; though the real truth remains still in the dark.

PUBLIC SALES.-105,000 ACRES OF LAND.— By Mr. George Robins, at the Mart, London. Consider& ble interest was excited this day amongst capitalists, indivi duals connected with the Emigration Committees, and others, caused by the auction of 105,000 acres of land in Virginia, North America. Mr. Robins, in a lucid address, deduced from a voluminous and ably-drawn up " particular of sale," stated that the land he was about to submit was freehold and extended along and near the Elk navigable river, and a railroad was projected to pass through the terri tory. The soil was adapted for all agricultural purposes, and the earth contained minerals of every description ; as a proof, a diamond had lately been found weighing five penny weights, which had been sold for 8,000 dollars—that gold would soon be found in great abundance—already it had been demonstrated that Lots were in store for the indus trious and persevering. Mr. Robins took the opportunity to draw a comparison between England and Virginia, with regard to the outgoings upon a farm of 1,000 acres. In America the taxes did not exceed two shillings, while in England the poor rate alone on many farms would be 2001. a year. He urged mechanics and farmers who had small means, and upon whom fortune had not smiled before, to try their good luck in Virginia, assuring them that with the dismal prospect of relief which Parliament now held out to relieve the agricultural interest, the man who quitted a pro fitless farm in England, would in a few short years be a rich man in America. It was understood at the conclusion of the sale, that several farms extending from 500 to 1,000 acres each, are yet to be disposed of at about four and five shillings an acre for the fee simple. Mr. Robins, in con cluding a practical and statistical statement, put up the land in lots, varying from 500 to 5,000 acres each, which pro duced from 3s. 6d. to 6s. per acre. DREADFUL DEATH OF MR. WILLIAM KIRBY, THE WELL-KNOWN HARLEQUIN.—On Monday evening, Mr. William Kirby, the celebrated Harlequin, and who was for some time the proprietor of an academy for dancing in Tichborne-street, was brought into Mary-le-bone Poor house, having evinced decided symptoms of derangement. Every care and attention which the unfortunate case re quired was paid to him, but the malady increased to such a frightful extent, and he became so violent, that it was ne cessary to place him under restraint. He continued throughout the night in this dreadful state, and died raving mad yesterday morning. He was latterly somewhat reduced in his circumstances, and his end is supposed to have, been accelerated by intemperance. MILITARY PUNISHMENT.—A private, belonging to the 6th Carabineers, now stationed at York, was tried by a Court-martial last week, on a charge of being found asleep on his post. The adjutant discovered the offender stretched all his length and fast asleep, and this fact being established, he was sentenced to seven years' transportation. He was considered one of the finest looking men in the re giment, but much addicted to drinking. His offence, had he been on foreign service, would have been death, accor ding. to the articles of war.—Leeds Times. ZOOLOGICAL.

KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DA .V ( Sittings at , Westminster, before Lord DENM AL4 ", and a Special Jury.) DOE DEM BRENT V. 'MGM. This was an action of ejectment, brought to try t b e right of the plaintiff to certain freehold and leasehold proper ty, which had bcen bequeathed by the late Timothy Brent, Esq., sur veyor of the. Duchy of Lancaster. There was a regular will made by the deceased, but certain memorauda lib're found among . his private papers, after his death, whicit the de ceased stated to be the intended disposition of his; property. - The question turned upon a point of law, as to whet) se the do- - cuments in question could be considered to cony freehold property. After the case had been stated by Sir F. Po Lt -2 K ok, and some witnesses had been examined, Mr. WIGHTMAN suggested that a verdict shout td be taken for the plaintiff, by consent, subject to the decision of the Court, upon the documents in question, which w ts agreed to . by the other side. Mr. Hayden (a Juryman) begged to represent t o the Court. the inconvenience to which his brother Jurors were aobjected for want of proper accommodation, there being no ro am in which they could sit when not serving,; and they were frequently obliged to remain in attendance all day in their Not clothes , He would also suggest that only half the panel' sl ould be re quested to attend in the morning, and the other l calf in the middle of the day, as that would be amply sufft, lie nt, and af ford the Jury a great relief. Lord DENMAN said application would be n to de to the proper quarter to obtain the necessary accommod. it ion. With respect to the other point, he feared it would 1 le impossible to dispense with the attendance of the entire panel in the early part of the day, as two Juries might (as had a totnetimes oc curred) retire to confer together, and it would be kucessary to call a third. The list of cases for Middlesex having been gt me through i , the Court rose at half-past eleven, and will s it to-morrow n -London. EXCHEQUER COURT-(TIW: DA SEBONI V. KIRKMAN AND ANOTHEM This was an action brought against the exe cu tors of gr. Kirkman, to recover the sum of 401., as the vatic of a piano forte lodged in the hands of Mr. Kirkman, a pianc 'orte maker, by the plaintiff, who was a singer at the Opera. Mr. MARTIN, for the plaintiff, put in a paper , dated 1814, which purported to be a receipt for a piano-f ote front the plaintiff, for which he was to be allowed 401. on account when he returned to England, he being then bound t( > buy another from Mr. Kirkman, who signed the agreemeixt. He also called a son of Mr. Kirkman, who had not seen: the plaintiff' since the year 1810 ; but he might have been in E. ngland often since that. Mr. KELLY, for the defendants, said the Jury , iu ust presume from the action, or any claim having been so ;ton g delayed( that the plaintiff had in fact got another piano , ani.i that the transaction bad been settled. Was it at all likely that till plaintiff would; lie out of his 401. for twenty-on e years, a pe riod which would put an end to a bond debt. ' The Jury, b trusted, would have an opportunity of seeing th.t: whole of the transaction. He had the books of Mr. Kirkr aan, in wliieh he bad entries in that gentleman's hand-writing, which wotild prove this to be the most dishonest claim ever stet up. As that gentleman was now dead, he hoped the evid en ce would be received His LORDSHIP said the books could not be re coived as evi dence in favour of his executors. Mr. KELLY was sorry that such was . the rule of law, but he trusted the Jury would not think that it was at; all probable that the plaintiff would have slept over his rights: so long,. and would not introduce so dangerous a principle as the giving. . credit to this claim, which was never made in the life-time e Mr. Kirkman, and made now after the death of all who could be witnesses in the cause. The Learned JUDGE summed up, and the Jury ircumediate l i returned a verdict for the defendant. SANDERSON V. SIMPSON. This action was brought by the landlord of the ;Boar and Castle, Oxford-street, to recover the sum of 1031. from th e defendant, a surgeon in the same neighbourhood. Mr. ERLE stated the plaintiff's case. He said th e action was brought to recover the balance of 441. odd, the defendact having paid into Court 591., which was the amount for gooo supplied to the defendant personally. The plaintiff was intima te with the defendant, and used to supply him with wines The defendant had a brother, a Lieutenant in the Navy,' wb crime home in 1832 ; he went to reside with the derma dart," but his wife did not like it, and it went so far, be belie' that she declared that either she or the brother should JOY.I' the house. Accordingly the defendant chose t he lesser .01 and went to the plaintiff to whom he introduced the breilw ; Tom, who was to reside in the Hotel, and be (the defenda-atJ would be accountable for; the bill. The brother was tat° in, and treated more like one of the family th an a g uest, the plaintiff having altered his style of living and hour of dine for his accomodation. He resided there for a long time, a on the 24th March the defendant gave notice that from tha time he would be no further liable. Up to that time plaintiff: the sent in the bill, and it was not quarrelled at all anti a in.-)nth after, when the defendant set up the Tom' own on' liability. He would prove that the brother " oll e was n' t a state of absolute distress, having borrowed small sums 0' money from the servants, so that it was evident that tired plaintiff would not have given credit to him.. They had charged for eighteen weeks, at the rate of 58s. a-w eek. Mr. HUMFREY said the defendant did not dispute any- of tha items ; he disputed his liability only. Mr. ERLE then called the waiter, who proved that niren th ° defendant came and introduced his brother, he heard him- 4a)l that he would be responsible for the bill. The defendant alff told the witness to pay attention to his brothe r, and he .010111" recompense him for it. He also called Miss B etts, the lreeP,e, 0 of the hotel, for the plaintiff, who; proved' : that she asked tu, defendant for money after his brother had been a monthr in the hotel, when he said, " For God's sake , don ' t tell I . ° (7 1 ',„ n that I am responsible, as he will never get a ship," ad another occasion he gave notice that he would be no long c t responsible. He also paid her a sovereign, which s he bad lea the brother. This was the case for the plaintiff. Mr. HUMFREY addressed the Jury for the defendant. 1,1: 1 ; was not instructed to complain of the chargee in this bill--1 deed, he thought 58s. a week a small charge for the privilagl of boarding at the Boar and Castle, and enjoying the society the young lady whom they had seen. He denied the liability the defendant, even upon the evidence of the plaintiff. ill was evident from it, that all the goods were supplied origin s on the credit of Thomas H. Simpson, and that the de fends' :; was to be looked to only if he did not pay. If they wet e t he that opinion, then the plaintiff had no right to recoverriv agreement as to responsibility not being in writing._ e ease was one of hardship, and he trusted they would turdtb verdict for the defendant. His LORDSHIP left to the Jury to say whether the credita given to the defendant or his brother. In makin g up t's% minds, they were to bear in mind that before th e brother' taken to the hotel, he was living at the defendant's exp ense 0 his own house, which he was obliged.to leave in consequello of a quarrel with the wife of defendant. As Thomas wa a _ A it poor, it was not likely that the landlord woul d g ive the cc' o to him, as he was perfectly aware of it. He thought wo was evidence to show that there had been some contract n' the defendant. The Jury interrupted the Judge, and returned a verdic t the plaintiff—Damages 441. 10s.
