Another adj iurnment of the discussion on the Militia Bill postponed the ultimate decision of the House of Commons again last evening upon that un fortnnate measure, which may be said to have been partially borrowed by the present from the departed Government. 'Whether or not the framework of the enactment as proposed by the Right Honourable Gentleman the HOME SECRETARY was found in the pigeon -holes of the Treasury, it is, at any rate, certain that for the original notion of such a proceeding her MAJESTY'S Ministers are indebted to the previous Administration. Borrowing from Lord Jells/ 11US5ELL the idea that the re-organization of the militia throughout England would be the most rational method of securing the national defences, the members of the new Cabinet hastily compiled a scheme by which 80,000 raw recruits would by the summer of 1853 be called out to practise themselves (50,000 this year and 30,000 additional in the year following) i❑ the use of fire-arms, so as to be in readiness to repel any attempt at invasion made from the shores of the European Continent. Ar ranged in haste, and produced with precipi tation, the Militia Bill has naturally encountered a somewhat violent and persevering opposition. Amend • ment after amendment has been inscribed among the notices of motion, and then in due course brought under the consideration o: the lower branch of the Legislature. Hitherto, however, the obstructions raised in the way of Mr. WALPOLE'S unlucky pro position have proved altogether ineffectual. The ma jorities secured by Ministers from the very commencement of the debate have been gra dually on the increase, so that there appears to be more likelihood, on every successive division, of witnessing the ulterior triumph of the plan intro duced by her MAJESTY'S Government. The secret of this increase in the majorities supporting the Militia Bill would be altogether incomprehensible but that the knowledge is becoming gradually more and more appreciated that the panic about invasion has neither subsided or even diminished. Some thing —it has long been generally admitted— must be done with a view to increase, and while increasing to re-organize the national defences of Great Britain. About that there is no longer any doubt whatsoever. Besides which, it is admitted with equal readiness that that " something') must be done, if at all, forthwith. Persuaded by the necessity of these two movements in advance, the House of Commons seems to be anxious, for a variety of reasons, to relieve itself at the earliest opportunity of the responsibility of securing in some measure the stability of the empire, prior to the period of the dissolution. Actuated we must believe by this laudable intention, the representatives of the people are hurrying forward one of the most delusive mea sures ever submitted to the judgment of the Imperial Legislature. Yesterday evening afforded rather remarkable evidence that the Members of the House of Commons are resolved to carry out the proposal of Mr. WAL POLE in spite of every antagonistic consideration. It mattered not what might be the nature of the amend ment proposed—it was an interference with the scheme as submitted to the House by the HOME SECRETARY, and therefore it was rejected. The Hon. Baronet the representative of Evesham suggested the propriety, for example, of enacting that no married man should be drawn by ballot—surely a reasonable proposition enough ? But no ! The pro viso was negatived by a clear majority of not less than 106. Shall not schoolmasters aad teachers at least be exempted ? asked the Hon. Gentleman the Member for Manchester. Certainly no!—roplies a clear ma jority of 78, vs.hile a subasquent majority of 66 declares against the other proposal made by Mr. MILNER GIB'O N to the Effect tint Peers should not b e "collated. Peers shall be exempted, says the How ie of Commons, but not so schoolmasters. At least, monstrates the Honourable Gentleman the Member for Finsbury, you will not render this military service compulsory on medical practitioners ? What is the reply of the House of Commons? Why, by a m jice. rity of ninety it decides that medical m en can be no more exempted than school masters. Other not less rational amendments were subsequently dismissed as summarily by the sup porters of the Government, and, after a stormy debate as to whether the Ch-Arman of the Committee should report progress, it was definitively resolved that the discussion should be once more adjourned. As a rather obvious indication that, throughout their unanimity upon the Militia Bill, even the most enthusiastic of its advocates have a secret persuasion of its insufficiency, we have only to remark the flippancy of tone which has characterized so many speeches made in the course of much h e w d i i t sc a u m s o si n o g n s , t don't know whether we had said the Vicar of Wakefield, "but I am sure we had a great deal of laughter." And so might Mr. Wan rotn observe in refeeence to the debates upon his proposed enactment anent the militia. Conspicuous amongst its supporters, first and foremost amongst them all is, of course, Lord PALMERSTON, and never has the Noble Viscount spoken more humorously than in beha'f of this extraordinary proposition—exciting the risibility of his hearers by allusions to the Peace Society, and fairly convulsing them with mock-serious quotations from a pamphlet published by one of the i advocates of Arbitration. Yesterday, n like manner, Colonel SIDTIMBP created no little amusement by declaring that be should like very much to have an opportunity of drilling the Honourable Member for Manchester. Whether the Militia Bill numbers amongst its admirers an eccentric legislator like the Member for Lincoln, or au experienced statesman like the Member for Tiverton, it is equally, we feel assured, distasteful to the vast majority of the people of England, as it is calculated, if carried into opera tion, to prove inefficient as a solitary means of defence against invasion. 'rein the discussion, or rather conversation, in the louse of Lords last night, it would appear as if the Emigration Commission was the great obstacle and impediment to emigration. With a view, we sup pose, of e xhibiting extraordinary zeal and activity, the Commissioners have framed a series of regulations so very restricti ve t h at comparatively fe w are enabled to comply therewith. " m a that the They appear to b e so the roughly imb ued with matters of then: ell^ of lah " L e r d tapis s appear to be , of the most p er f ec t in difference. Providedtaniezdethmost meritorious ap-1 establish stringent rules, which m Possibly signifies ex little w h ether the colonies which su pply ;h funds be benefited or plioautsi:aieyt e away ; njured.

The apathy cannot ha shaken off, or any grel , edi tion produced. it they L i t ppearS that hav , er expe actual' ir 1• hand no less than 24 0 , 000/ sterling., of e, bl e b 173:6 00 7 has been transmitted from Victoria, and 63,0001 from New South Welts. Some furthn gum s wf.re also sent from South Australia, the amounts whereof were not specified. The Commissioners, however, accord ing to their present views, intend to distribute this largo amount over the entire seaton. In place of making any additional exertion to meet the pressing exigency, they propose to go on .in their old jog trot style, sending out ten ships a month—no _more in the early part of the season, when the em ig rants l would indeed be a welcome addition to the colonist', and when they themselves would be entain not merely of rcmunerativo but even of ex travagant wages for their services, than at its close. The late Colonial Secretary, whose mismanage ment has already passed into a bye-word, was, of course ready to defend the Coiumissionere, whom he declared to have acted under his instructions. He justified the various regulations making a distinc tion between mechanics and agricultural labourers, and limiting the numbers of children to be taken. He, however, admitted that he had directed " that as fast as the money came in it should be expended." Now that direction, at least, has not been complied with. 240,000/. is already in hand, and yet we hear of no additional demand or even encouragement to emigrants who might be prepared to start imme diately, so as to arrive at Australia before the termi nation of the harvest, and Lord GREY thought that the relaxations (which he admitted to be essential), should be made " with the utmost caution." Now, caution is very well in its way,but under present circum stances, when instant relief is required, caution may be carried too far. An inferior class, before the harvest and the sheaf-shearing, would be more acceptable than the very best that could be selected, arriving after the seism' had passed away. But unless sours stipulations be made, or contracts entered into with the emigrants before their depar ture, they Rill prove rather a curse than a blessing to the colony. It is not necessary to send persons at the public expense to swell the ranks of the gold seekers. The temptations afforded by "the diggings" have proved irresistible to all persons in the vicinity. The same temptations would likewise attract the new-corners, unless they were bound by solemn obligations, any breach of which could be ade quately punished. Human nature is the same in ell parts of the globe, and it is not very probable that we shall find agricultural labourers, or 'Spitalfields' weavers, or indeed any of those who may be willing to avail themselves of the facilities afforded, prepared to relinquish the golden opportunities before them in order to acquire a title to the national " gratitude"— a gratitude which might possibly be rather slow of exhibiting itself. If, however, the Commissioners could be induced to travel out of the beaten track, if they would act as private individuals of ordinary intelligence, taking the special circumstances of the case into considera tion, they might with the fund now available send out eight or ten thousand judiciously selected persons even within the present month, who, in consideration of obtaining their passages gratuitously, should consent to serve for certain periods in agricultural pursuits, or such other occupations as might be indicated to them. Stringent penalties might be imposed in the event of any breach of contract, and a short Act of Parliament could easily be passed if addi tional powers were required. The persons obtaining the much-required assistance would willingly repay the entire outlay, so , that the fund would, for some time at least, become re-pro ductive. We fear, however, that, the Emigration Commissioners will not originate any judicious or practicable course ; and if Noble Lords or Honourable Gentlemen aro desirous of seeing their suggestions carried into execution they should obtain a Select Committee to inquire and report on the subject, whose prcceedings would stimulate and excite the Honourable Board to greater exertion. Tile subject has now attracted a large amount of public attention. We trust that the deep interest already exhibited will not be suffered t 6 wear away until something be Effected calculated to provide the colonies with the amount of labour so urgently re required, and to improve materially the position of many of those who are enduring severe privations here, but who would speedily acquire comfort and independence in Australia. SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY ADLLPHI THEATRE. Mr. Mark Lemon has contributed a piece to the reper toire of this establishment which bids fair to rival in longevity the most popular of those celebrated produc tions which never appear to lose their charm over an Adelphi audience. This interesting drama, produced last evening, bears the title of Sea and Land, and the plot runs thue.—The inhabitants of a village on the English cost (time, the close of the last century) are all smugglers, or friends of smugglers, in connexion with a merchant named Crouch, the " bad man" of the story. This Crouch is enabled to do a world of mitchiet in all directions. Hiving failed in a venture through the untimely interference of the Government efficers, he contrives to fix the failure upon Ned Bradley, a seaugglsr just about ta quit his profession, so that poor Ned is not only imprisoned as a contrabandist, bat runs great risk of being torn to pieces by his yellow-cantrabandists as a trailer to tlitir cruse. Then he manages to learn of a !cern which occurred some ten years back between Sir Thomas Burton, ihe great gentleman cf the piece, and hi s o wn game keeper, and terminated in the death of the latter. The scuffle loses nothing in the hands of Mr. Crouch, fer though the gamekeeper was killed by the accidental dis charge of his fowling-piece, the ingenious merchant twists the story into a case of murder, which he is able 'o employ in terrorent against Sir Thomas, thus melting the woi thy Baronet lock very Ll and careworn, and almost obtaining the band of his daughter, Miss Burton, notwithstanding that young lady has bestowed her affections on a well-looking young gentleman named Msjor Brownie ite; However, with all his faults, Mr. Crouch has one being in the world to love him. He employa as a sort of spy a ragged girl, called Wild Meg, whom in the largeness of his munificence he rewards with an occasional shilling or sixpence, at last extending his bounty to a donation of some tawdry clothes. \leg, who is only knocked about at home by her father, Shambling Will, and has never met with aught but rough usage from her companions, regards with posittve ado ration the one creature who has given her a kind word. When she hears that Crouch is likely to marry Miss Burton she flies into an agony of jealousy, and frustrates his plan by giving a faithtul account of the gamekeeper's death, which she witnessed in her childhood, and when at last he is led off to justice to receive the reward of his misdeeds she falls dead upon the stage. Mrs. Keeley's performance of Wild Mcg was stamped with ex traordinary talent. The part is not what may bo termed a gracious one. It is the delinea tion of a semi-savage, tieing ragged, halfwitted, yet with flashes of natural feeling occasionally illuming the gloom, but it gives Mrs. Keeley occasion for a thril ling display of article skill. Mr. Emery acted the young smuggler, Ned Bradley, with admirable propriety, and Mr. Hughes and 0. Smith, as Sir Thomas Burton and Crouch were, what they always are, excellent. Mr. Worrell and Mr. C. Smith satisfactorily sustained the characters of Major Browalow and Shambling Will. The comic eleraent consists of a group, formed of Mr. Wright, a retired cockney, who indulges in a yacht, and engages Paul Bedford and Mr. Cullenford, two Greenwich pensioners, whom he designates his cook and housekeeper. how Mr. Wright enacts a cockney who goes to sea, how he translates the nautical terms, how he ultimately becomesttery ill, and is at last seen only in a rear view, with his legs up in the air, and his poor head over the side of the heaving vessel, he himself being in an equally heaving state, must be seen to be en joyed. It keeps the house in a perpetual roar fur a long scene, and he never makes his appearance after but the laugh is renewed. Mr. Bedford, as a boatswain, also obtains his share of the approbation, and this part of the drama was singularly felicitous. Miss Kathleen Fitzwilliam sang with great applau,se a pretty ballad composed by Mr. Mellon. "A thunder of applause," says the Times' critic, " and an universal shout f or the author marked the conclusion of a piece which promises to rival Green Bushes in popularity. Wild Meg, as played by Mrs. Kt eley, is just one of those creations which are likely to become a town-talk." The house was crowded. MR. MILNE'S ENTERTAINMENT. As was anticipated, the concert given by Mr. Milne, a t th e Eyre Arms, St. John's-wood, last night, paned cif with the greatest eclat. Since we heard Mr. Milne last he has not only improved in manner and address, but his voice has been admirably trained, so much so that we know cf few public singers who can glory in the possesFizm of such a fine tenor. The songs which were most applauded were " Oh, why left I my Lame?" "John Anderson my Jo," and " Bonnie Bessie Lee," the delightful manner in which they were sung de lighting the hearts of the Scotch portion cf the audience. Mr. Milne must soon occupy the first place as a Scot tish vocalist, if indeed he does not do so already. [ADVERTISEMENT J —DESTRUCTION OF THE CRYS• TAL PALACE.—The proprietors of the Dispatch, impressed with the belief that their Statistical Chart, printed in colours by Vizetelly and Company, offers an acceptable record of the principal features connected with the Great Exhibition, and being desirous that every person may possess a lasting memorial of the occasion, have decided upon' keeping it on sale during the next two weeks. Orders may be given to any news agent in the kingdom, er ad dressed to Mr. Richard Wood, at the office, 139, Fleet-street, London. The accounts from the continental Bourses allude to the general cessation of speculative business, and under these cireomstinces little change had taken place in quota tions. Dutch and Russian, and the other isiorth=rn Stocks, were maintained with firmness. By the report from Paris it appears that the demands for reimbursements from the foreign holders of the Five per Cent. Renter; have amounted to a sum equal to 1,420,0001. sterling.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 10,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken for export, and 1,000 American and 500 Surat on speculation. The market closed steadily, common Sea Island id. per lb. dearer. The sales comprised 6,000 American, 1,200 Permam and Maranbam at sd. to 7d., 600 Egyptian at 61d. to 9d., 1,500 Surat at 3ko. to 41d., and 160 Sea Island at Is, 3d. to ls. 9d. per lb.—Rail way Shares were dull. The Hambnrgh letters of Friday last quote the ex change on London steadily at 13 71. Gold was at 428 k. Spanish Three per Cents, were in request. Grain was inactive and coffee brisk. The advices from Australia by the Overland Mail are dated to the 20th February. They are not equal to for mer acesunts, but likewise most exciting, and suggest strongly th© urgency of the labour wants of all the colo nies. Unless these are rapidly supplied, the absorption of all the able-bodied at the mines will cause great de rangerneet in the commercial and agricultural affairs, sad free emigration must be pushed with the t al l ow vigour, now the home Government has such a large fund it its disposal. The committee of the Buenos Ayres Bondholders has received intimation ef the expressed intention of the new Government of Buenos Ayres in regard to this debt, to the following effect:— " That the Minister of Finance would be instructed, as soon as ho had arranged his financial statement, to give the British debt bis first cansideration, in order, it possible, to arrive at some result which might be satis factory to all parties concerned. " The committee considers this intimation alike cre ditable to the new Government to have made, as it will be satisfactory for the bondhol ders to recei ve. " At the same time the com mittee, ac ting under the best advice which it has ever endeavoured to obtain and be guided by, in order to lead to success in this im portant matter, considers it to be its duty, as is usual on such occasions, to refrain, at present, from advising or culling any public meeting of bondholders, or publi c ly entering further into a su b j ect which ; i s now in active progress of negotiation with the Government of Buenos Ayres. E ver y i n formation, however, in possession of the committee, and all its proceedings and correspondence, since it had the honour of being appointed about this time last year, is now open, as it ever has been, and ever shall be open, to the inspection of all bona fide hoed hollers, at the office here, to whom they will be unre servedly shown by its secretary. As regards the future dividends on Mexican Stock, we will endeavour to explain what has hitherto been but im perfectly understood. The Bondholders have 25 per cent. of the Customs d ut i es 'assigned to them ; when goods aro entered and cleared the merchants do otpay in cash, but the Custom - house authori t ties w aw on them - a t three, five, and six months. I the 31st of December last that bill s befouinndg on t to the Bondholders had accumulat e d t o the amounteing of 800,000 dollars, which M. Falconnesb t s ag e r d ee b d to leave with the Mexican Government to g e t o Baring, they taking a further collateral security of . 280,000 dolls. cn the indemnity money due by the United States to Mexico, which was to be returned to Mexico when the bills were paid. As these tills become due the proceeds are remitted to Messrs. Baring and Co. 500,000 of the 800,000 has been handed over to their agents Mexico. All duties for got els cleated since the Ist January belong to the Bondholders, bu t as bills a re g iven for them at three, five, and 6 clear that no dollars could be remitted dividends, ctly months, o t the i s erfe due in July until the bills fall due, and their proceeds are received by the collector and forwarded by him to England. It is stated that, amr ding to the estimate of the Mi nister of Finan ce i n Mexico, that the bondholders' por tion of duties f or goo d s cleared during the month of January in the various custom-houses of Mexico, amounted to no less a sum than 495 000 dollars ; but then it must be pr esume d t h at January' is a month in svbiob the custom s ' rece i pts are very much beyond the average. There is no reason a bl e d ou b t, however, that the amount of dollars and bill s b e l ong i ng to the bondholders w hi c h will have accrued by the 30th June will be ample to pay the dividend due the Ist July. The only question is, whether M. F a l connet can repeat tha same operation of discountin g th e bill s, with either Messrs. Baring or some other house. As the last transaction has been carried out with perfect good faith by Mexico, we see no reason why any difficolty should arise. There is a very firm market for English Securities, but with little doing. The bankers and others see no resource but to buy stock, for the gold accumulates fast upon them, and one firm has 80 bars, weighing each 151b5., lodged with a celebrated molter in the City. The refining houses, generally, aro overwhelmed with busi ness, and Baron Anthony Rothschild is likely to make a profitable speculation of his lease of the Mint re finery on Tower-hill. The reduction this day adver tised of the rate of interest on Exchequer-bills from lid. to lid. per centum per diem is favour of advanced prices for stocks. Consols have been 991 for Transfer and Account. The: New Three -and-a- Quarter per Cents. have been 1001 to 1011, a n d t h e Three per Cents. 98i to 99i. Bank Stock keeps up at 2191 to 220 k, and I ndia St ock is 2 71 to 272. Exche quer- bills have bean firm at 735. to 745. for thou, dated March, and at 635. for the June dated.

The English and Australian Copper Company likewise have intelligence of the 10th of January from Adelaide. In tbo week ending Decem ber 27 theve had been 30 tons of copper smelted, but it is feared this will greatly fill off as the w orkmen at the Burrs Bur ra mine wore leaving for the gold fields.

A COUPLE OF PICKPOCKETS.— George Clark and John Redding, two welt-known characters were brought up for re-examination, charged with attcreptir.g to pick pockets in Waterloo-place on the night of the illu minations. Murrell, 80 C, stated that en the night of the 13th instant he was walking down Waterloo-place, when his attention was attracted to the irisoners, by seeing them attempt to pick the pockets of sqveral gentlemen who were in the crowd. He watched them for some time, and eventually took them into custody. On arriving at the station he searched Redding, and found upon him a bunch of twelve keys upon a steel ring. The keys con sist nioslly of Chubb's and Bramah's, and are worth to the owner about 51. On the other prisoner he found a book but nothing else. In defence Redding said ho found the keys; and they both denied attempting to pick pockets. Mr. HARDWICK said, if publicity were given to the case, it might meet the eye cf the owner of the keys ; he should, therefore remand the prisoners till Friday next. IRELAND. THE POLITICAL EXILES. The deputation to present the memorial in favour of the political convicts of 1848 waited upon the Lord- Lieutenant at 12 o'clock yesterday. His Excellency's answer was extremely unfavourable as regarded the object of the memorialists. " Though convicted of high said his Excellency, " the lives of M r . O'B r i er , associates were spated by the e xerc i se of the Royal p re rogative, and they, as well a s th e persons the penalty of transport a ti on f or treason at r no e dy a bael his v , p '' r able wilod practices, incurre have been treated with unusual indulgence in the places of their exile; even the measures of restraint, rendered necessary by their own conduct, have been of short duration. It is, however, 'to be regretted that these acts of lenity have n o t b een attended with the effects that might have been expected, but that, on the contrary, repeated attempts to escap e h ave t a k en place— in one case with success ; and that none of the persons, on whose behalf my interference is solicited, have ex pressed contrition for their crime, or manifested any sign of gratitude or loyalty to the gracious Sovereign whom they havo so grieviously offended, and to whose clemency some of them are indebted for their lives. Under these circumstances I do not consider myself justified in recommending the prayer of the memorial to her Majesty's favourable consideration." SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY.

LITERATURE. LIFE AND TIMES OF FRANCESCO SFORZA, DUKE OF .111 L N. With a Pre liTinary Sketch of the Ili4ory of Italy. BY W. Li , rquhart. Blackwood, Edinburgh and London. The eminent man who forms the subject of these memoirs was the son of a peasant of Ur.sugua, the founder of the last dynast's. , of Dukes of Miler. He rose, by ins own exertions, from the meanest station to the most exalted position in the state. Clenius is always worthy of attention, whatever has been the nature of its works or the period of its achkeements. Although great faults are imputed to the illustrious individual, his greater merits tower aloft among distinguished characters of every age. To study the events which called forth such actions as his were, to peruse the detail i of the manner in which he surpassed his talented friends and ov'e ,. come his redoubtable enemies, must surely be e ino,t deeireble occepeti :n for those who heve the de sire o become acquainted with the annals of heroes. It will be seen by the attentive observer that a great man of the pet must not be judged by the same laws or measured by ;Lsret::', standard that would be suit- Arle for a great man of rho present. It is just and proper to r.ndertli:ni the country in which he lives, and in:ein.:rs by which he is modelled before we presume to criticise, the cle , recter of any master spirit. 11 , nce the advantage of a work like the pre sent, in vs Lich it is dex'ercusly made manifest hoW the celebrVed clan was situated as regarded thcepe..c.uliar state of th e e i v ili zit i on o f hi s ti me . () his g , neral character it would he superfluous to say [noel?, weer having detailed and discussed the prin cipal :mai ms o f his life. I, will no', I ;hick, be denied tha'. he wa.s.encl,wed with all tho great and most of the goe:d quel . ities that gene rally fall to the lot of mankind. c w. l e i re hr: i sv ng, tee` abilities Were onlahrliys sway to and displayed by the various .circumstAnce N in which he was placed; the to fame tefore his mar riage with Mance I:Lich—the pe rseverance w i t h which he struggle . d again ii t a d vers i ty from that time till t h e deaqh of his father - in-law -_t he great milit a ry s hill and political sagacity by which he succeeded, notwithstand ing false friends and dengerous enemies, in placing hint' self on the throne of .Lilv.n—the firmness by which he secured himself, combined with the moderation which he exhibited in his now to-iiien—the policy by which , after having made himself arbiter of Italy, he laid the foundation of thirty years' peace and prosperity, show a combination of active and reflective powers rarely to be found in ono person. Mucatori, one of the deepest read and most impartal of Italian historians, gi ves his opi nion in the following words:—' The more we reflect on the actions of this unrivalled Prince, the more readily we acknowleige, notwithstanding the opinion of Berne, that for many centuries Italy has not produced so re nowned a hero as Sfoizi, in whom there was a rare combination of wonderful v alour with uncommon politi cal sagacity. twenty-two battles which he gave, be always ended by being conqueror, and be was never conquered by any. His father, Sfoiza Atteccdcla, having risen from the lowest station of life, began to build the fortune of his family, but his son Francisco proceed ing with gigantic steps, advanced it in such a manner, that he came to b 3 at the head of the most noble duchy of Milan, and the proud city of Genoa, and to attain such a fame that he certainly deserves to be compared with the greatest captains of antiquity, end reckoned amongst the most illustrious people in the history of Italy. With respect to his moral qualities, it must be acknowledged that hi s memory is tarnished well by undeniabl e a c t s o f t reac h er y an d intrigue as by the suspicion of deeds that few men of the pre sent age dare do. In palliation of these, it must be recollected that his lot was cas t i n an age w hen the acts recommended in th e P r i nce , an d t h e discourses of Machiavelli w e r e by many th oug h t to b e esse ntial to success in publi c lif e , an d t h at the ma i n grou nd of the suspicions again s t hi m i s t h e ev il pract i ce o f the times. If it be tr ue th a t men ' s c h aracters ma y be . known from those o f th e i r assoc i ates, hi s f r i en dship with some of the b r i g ht es t ornaments o f t h e fif tee nth century aftbrds stro ng t es ti mony i n hi s f avo ur, and there is none of hi s m i s d ee d s f or w hi c h h e might not plead the e xcuse t h a t i s sa id to h av e beer!, always in the mout h o f one o f t h e grea t es t h e roes of antiquity. If we mus . t sOmetirne3 do wrong for tbe . sake of a Sovereignty, it is most glorious to do wrong; hut, in other things, we should always act righteou 3l .Y. Thus of Francesco Sforzi, it may truly be said thet his good deeds were his own; his evil ones were those of the age in which be lived." DETERMINED SUlClDE.—Yesterday morning Mr. Alderson, the proprietor of the Woolpack Tavern, in 1V00.0. - street, Cheapside, was found dead under the following Cir cumstances:—The deceased had been suffering from VI severe indisposition for a considerable time, which gave r ise to great depression of spirits at intervals. He was unable to shave himself, in consequence of which he was attended bi f , a barber, who called ye s terday m orn i ng f or th e purpose °f pursuing his usual avocation, when the family were anab le to obtain admission to the Ceceased's room.

RAILWAY ACCIDENT — 3tASh a On-1111der-LYne , a few days since, a ycuth named George Knott, whilst at tempting to get upon the break.van of a luggage-train be longing to the London and North-Western Company, wasei unfortunate as to slip down with his legs between the spok of one of the wheels. Less than half a revolution of th e wheel would have cut off the legs against a horizontal leve r across it, but the guard with great presence of mind in" scantly pulled home the break, lucked the wheels in a eta" tionary position, and though the train, then running at the rate of twenty miles an hour, could not be brought to s! stand till it had glided along the rails more than a hundred yards, this prompt action of the guard will probably bsv ° saved the life of the youth. When taken up all his clothes had been torn off with dragging along the ground, on thigh was fractured, and the integuments were rubbed f:) 1 ,, the knee and ankle to the bone. Mr. J. G. Harrison , Manchester, railway surgeon for the district, afterwards attended to the injuries, and expresses a belief that the youth will recover, notwithstanding his serious injuries. Knott is a railway clerk, and the son of a respectable ilia' keeper at Ashton. The trade accounts Irons the provinces for the Past week continue to show a tendency towards increased activa and firm prices in all parts of the country. At Manchester business has been affected by the hesitation consequent upon the speculative excitement in the Liverpool Cotton-marke t ' but the general demand for goods is unabated. The Binning ham reports are still uninterruptedly favourable. In th e iron trade the transactions are very large, both for American and home supply. Metals of all other kinds are likewise firm, and the prospect of a diminished production in conse quence of the want of labour at the Barra Burra mines seems already to have influenced the rates for copper. The Not tingham repo. is state the prevalence of great confidence as to the prospects of the manufacturers for the entire year, the market being particularly influenced by the sanguine ac counts from the United Slates. In the woollen districts there has been augmented firmness, coupled with a con tinuance of the confused and unsatisfactory feeling occa sioned by the possible contingencies in connexion with events in Australia. MARHIED.—On Thursdar-, the 15th ule., at Floyd's Fork, Jefferson county, Mr. Thomas Stafford to Polly Goben• The bride is 19 years old an d t h e b ridegroom 77.
