Having shown that peace is at this moment essen tial to four of the great European Governments—to England, to France, to Belgium, and to Italy—we shall now demonstrate that tranquillity is above all things to be desired in the other territories of the continent. SPAIN REQUIRES PEACE ! because peace with the other nations of Christendo m is the only medium through which its own nationality can be restored, and its disordered constitution reorganised; because leisure is necessary for the re-adjustment of those political parties which have been thrown into con fusion by the annihilation of the Afrancesados ; because 'the Moderados and the Progressistas are pledged to a battle of extermination ; because Cams- TINA is left without her diplomatic point d'appui; because the juggle which conduced to the barter of ISABELLA'S hand, and virginity has proved in the end an illusion; because NARVARZ now holds the reins of administration by a very uncertain tenure ; because the position of BRAVO MURILLO, of OLOZAGA, Of ROCA DE TOGORES, and of other eminent representatives, is so questionable as to render the existence of the pre sent Cortes more than ever precarious ; because the recent proposition for the raising of an extraordinary loan of 200,000,000 rials, and for the suspension of the constitutional guarantees, promises to unsettle still more the authority of the Valencia Cabinet ; because the Exaltados are gaining strength and confidence from the royal catastrophe beyond the Pyrenees ; and because, in consequence of all these changes, there is every probability of the redemption of their land from foreign and dynastic influences if the Spaniards will at once rally round their most tried and patrotic leaders, if they will assume as the symbol of their sentiments the orange banners which flouted the turbanned armies of the Moor, if they will swear allegiance to the mother country upon the glorious TILE SUN, LONDON, WIURSDAY EVENING; brand of the CID, and the beneficent sceptre of FER DINAND. PORTUGAL REQUIRES PEACE! If ever free dom from external assault was essential to a people, it is at this time essential to the Portuguese. If ever a concurrence of circumstances tended to convince a nation of the danger of provoking hostili ties beyond its frotiers, it has done so at this time in the injance of Portugal. Portugal, we repeat it, requires peace, and it does so more than it has ever done since the days when King DINIz chaunted ditties in the mellifluous lan guage of CAMOENS. The faithlessness of MARIA DA GLORIA; the shameless intrigues of the CADRALS ; the forcible dispersion of the Oporto junta; the harshness displayed towards Bolan' ; the expatriations to Angola ; the invidious treatment of DAs ANTAS and SA DA BANDEIRA ; the repressive proceedings of SALDANHA when in power, and their continuance since his retirement from the:Government ;—all these things have plunged the land of GAMA into confusion, and rendered time and opportunity necessary for its restoration to happiness. SWITZERLAND REQUIRES PEACE! Ever since the Sonderbund was destroyed by the strong arm of a Radical Vorort—ever since the soldiers of OCHSEN.' DEIN marched in triumph through the streets of Lucerne—there has been a positive and paramount .necessity for the maintenance of quietude along the boundaries of the Confederation. The miserable dis union of the different cantons from the moment when the landsgemeinde decreed the suppression of certain convents in Argovie—tending by that means to embroil the religious factions of the Republic — demands that tranquillity should be maintained for the healing of all the wounds caused by the late internecine strife. Beyond this the Federal Pact must be revised for the purpose of stabili tating the Helvetic Constitution; and for doing this an abstinence from intestine and international warfare is the readiest preparation. GREECE REQUIRES PEACE! If it required peace before the death of COLETTI and the destruction of the stock jobbing Ministry of GUIZOT, Greece has a double need for it since the removal of those two enormous obstacles to its pros perity. By a judicious employment of the advan tages thus thrust upon him, King OTHO may relieve his memory from the odium resulting from many preceding blunders. We have but feeble hopes of any sagacious movement on the part of a SOVE REIGN so notoriously inefficient, but this much is tolerably certain, that no military aggression can be anticipated from a kingdom which has become effete and powerless under the pernicious operation of a systematic financial negligence. GERMANY REQuimis PEACE ! Peace we mean from beyond the limits of its gigantic territories — peace southwards of Moravia—peace among, the passes of the Tyrol—peace beyond the lake of Con stance, beyond Basel and Coblentz, beyond Gruben hagen and Hamburgh. We can trace this necessity in the kingdoms of Bavaria, of Wurtemburg, of Saxony, and of Hanover, as well as in the Grand Duchies of Baden, of Darmstadt, of Hesse Cassel, of Nassau, of Brunswick, of Meck lenburgh, and in the less important principalities. From the extremities of Pomerania to the confluence of the Iser and the Inn this want of internal tran quillity among the confederated states of Germany is at once perceptible. To each of those states war would act so far prejudicially that it would impede the progress of those political reforms which the pre s< rvation of peace has of late forwarded so mira- culously. DENMARK, SWEDEN, AND NORWAY, ALL RE QUIRE PEACE I Demnark, because of the li beral innovations already commenced at the instance of the reigning Monarch ; Sweden and Norway, because of the paternal leniency of the rule of King OSCAR, a leniency which may ultimately ripen into the nobler qualities of a crowned Liberator. Everywhere, therefore, throughout Europe, peace is required by the more generous and least despotic Govt-rnments, so that if, as we observed yesterday, the torch of continental war be again lighted the came of its ignition will be discoverable among the inflammatory archives of tyranny. _ _ _ Already there are signs of preparation in the capitals of Northern Absolutism. Prussian troops have already marched to the occupation of Bohemia, and Russian troops are on the eve of entering Gallicia and Hungary, so as to allow the Austrians to act with fearless energy in the suppression of the insur gent people of Venetian Lombardy. The footsteps of the despots moving southwards are even now audible. Woe be to them if their mercenaries flesh their swords beyond the frontiers of Freedom ! Notwithstanding the vexatious delays interposed by its opponents, the Roman Catholic Relief Bill yesterday made considerable progress in Committee, and we trust that ere long the last remaining vestige of intolerance may be swept away from our statute book, and the blot removed from the British escutcheon. For centuries a large and influential portion of our countrymen groaned under the ini quitous laws imposing the most annoying restrictions and disqualifications upon every man who would not give in his adhesion to the form of worship prescribed by Act of Parliament. Liberty of conscience was unknown. It is not now necessary to recur to the provisions of the abominable penal code which was so long maintained in violation of every principle of justice and public policy. At length a more enlightened and tolerant spirit bedame prevalent ; various con cessions were made from time to time. Each were in turn protested against with the utmost energy by the bigots of the day, who on each successive occasion prophesied the downfal of the British Constitution, which they asserted would be the inevitable conse quence of the alteration about to be carried. The vaticinations were, however, disregarded, and the result proved the folly of those who desired to per petuate the disabilities of their fellow-citizens. The laws were either repealed or became obsolete. The penalties were abrogated, and the code became par tially of no effect; but provisions still remained which, although wholly inoperative and incapable of being enforced, had a most insulting effect upon the general body of Roman:Catholics in the country. The object of the present Bill is altogether to repeal these remnants of intolerance, which afford no security whatever, andj whose only possible effect can be to irritate and annoy our brethren, by showing that they are still distrusted and subjected to slights on account of their creed. It is scarcely credible that a dozen Members could be found to resist so laudable a measure, and yet, strange to say, every clause is debated and resisted with the utmost perti nacity, and repeated divisions are forced on, when their only effect can be to delay the progress of the Bill for a few short weeks. It is not by exhibiting distrust of any class that their friendly co-operation can be secured. We desire that Roman Catholics should continue good and loyal subjects, in every respect actuated by national sentiments. What can be better calculated to keep them so than placing them on a perfect equality with their fellow-citizens? They have been so during the season of their persecution, but it was despite the enactments that were levelled against them. Their fidelity to their country wita too strong to be shaken even by such measures. We should desire to see the total and unconditional repealo of every disabling statute and every insulting referenc e . If anything were done injurious to the peace of the nation, it could be amply punished by the other laws in force, and by which every subject, no matter what may be his creed, is equally bound. The Right Honourable Gentleman the Member for Dungarvan put the question in its . proper light, when, after showing that the common law repealed would r remain unaffected w h e the r the statute Ras not, he said, " T he p ains and p e nalties of the A c t .had been abrogated ; the sting had been taken out of 't, why then let it remain in the statute-book ? It was not only nugatory, it was an offensive Act, for it asserted a falsehood, and it ought, therefore, to b e repealed." Sir J. GRAHAM, too, spoke in a manly and straightforward manner on the subject. The Right Hon. Baronet said, " He would not stop there ; he would go the whole length of saying that if the common law were inoperative for the purpose of punishing a party in this country for denying the spiritual supremacy of the Crown—in the wide sense in which that term could be understood—he would be quite content that the common law should not create that an offence, which would be an offence affecting the liberties and consciences of at least one third of her MAJESTY'S subjects. He was not at all alarmed, either at the probable effect of the re peal of these clauses, or at leaving the common law inoperative in the matter. He saw no occasion what ever in these days to institute any penalties either operating indirectly by statute,:or directly by common law, which he was certain, if attempted to be en forced, would be found inconsistent with the peace of the country." These are sentiments worthy of a British statesman, and which were well worthy of the cheers with which they were received. It is in this spirit that the House will legislate, and notwith standing the delays and obstructions that have been interposed, we doubt not that we shall speedily be enabled to congratulate the country upon the final triumph of the measure. Letters from Copenhagen of the 29th February state that the obsequies of the late King CHRISTIAN VIII. took place on the Friday preceding, with the greatest possible pomp. Several Norwegians who were at Copenhagen joined the funeral procession. Letters from Naples state positively that the KING has refused to accede to the proposition of Lord MINT°, to grant the Sicilians the constitution of 1812. The time for giving a formal reply had not expired, but the resolution of the KING was, never theless, known. Whether the revolution in France may not by this time have given another turn to the KING'S mind remains to be seen. Madrid journals of the 2d instant have arrived. All was quiet at that date. The discussion on the Bill granting Ministers the power of suspending the constitution had been brought to a close. MADRID BOLBA, MARCH 2.—The Three per Cents. were done at 241 at 50 days; the Five per Cents. at 14 for paper ; and the Debt without Interest, at St. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. Everything remained perfectly tranquil in Paris, and the Ministers were employed in the duties of administration. The Minister of War is making arrangements for the relief of the National Cril.ra. of Paris from their onerous duties, by the recalling of the regular troops, and the Minister of the Interior in preparing for the elections. The Presse, in the course of a long article on the subject of the elections, highly disapproves of the proposed allowance of 25f. per day to be made to each Deputy. The Moniteur contains a decree of the Provisional Government, which raises to 5 per cent. the interests on deposits in the savings' banks. " This measure is one of justice," says the decree; "the small capitalist ought to be placed on an equality with his richer contemporary. Already the interest on Treasury bonds has been raised to 5 per cent. Why should not that upon the smaller obligations of the State be fixed at an equal figure, and thus tend to the welfare of the industrious classes, the produce of whose economies constitute the principal portion of the funds of the savings' banks ?" _ _ It also publishes a decree of the Provisional Go vernment instituting in the manufacturing and com mercial towns national banks of discount, the capital of which is to be composed—one-third of money sub scribed by the associates, one-third of city bonds, and the other of Treasury bonds. Another decree institutes a national bank of dis count in Paris, with a capital of 20,000,000 f. The merchants of that capital had subscribed one-third of that sum ; the city of Paris was to issue bonds to the amount of the second third, and the Government Treasury bonds for the other. A third decree places the savings' banks under the guarantee of national loyalty, and raises the interest to be paid by the State on the investments to five per cent. from the 10th of March next. M. DUCLERC had been appointed Under-Secretary of State of the Ministry of Finance. M. D'HARCOURT has been appointed Ambassador to London, M. D'ALTON SHEE to Turin, M. DE BOISSY to Rome, M. DE TRACY to the United States, M. DE MOSKOWA to Spain, M. DE BEAUMONT YAM" to Denmark, and General FAUvIER at Constantinople. On Tuesday the Archbishop of PARIS, accom panied by two Vicars-General, attended at the Hotel de Ville, and gave in his adhesion to the Provisional Government in the name of the entire clergy of the diocese. M. DUPONT DE L'EURE, President of the Government, thus replied to the prelate : " The Provisional Government receives with the liveliest satisfaction your adhesion to the Government of the Republic. Liberty and religion are two sisters, equally interested to live on good terms with each other. We rely on your co-operation and on that of the clergy, as you may rely on the sentiments of benevolence of the Provisional Government." The Republic has been proclaimed at Toulon and Rochefort. Bou-MAzA. has been arrested in the neighbourhood of Brest, attempting to escape to England. . . . _ The news of the French Revolution reached Vienna on the Ist, and produced the most indes cribable consternation in that capital, which was not at all diminished by the news which arrived from Italy at the same time. The payment of the dividends on the Five, Four and-a-Half, and Four per Cents., commenced in Paris on the 6th inst. The sums paid on that day by the Treasury amounted to 3,893,916 f. The Siecle gives the following description of the manner in which the votes are to be taken at the approaching elections : " The electoral rights of citizens are attested by the register of the name. Every elector should, therefore, present himself at the mayory of his arrondissement or commune, in order to have his name inscribed. The only document he will have to pioduce will be the register of his birth. On receiving this document, the Mayor will deliver to him a bulletin of inscription, signed by him, and containing the name, profession, age, and residence of the citizen. " These bulletins delivered by the Mayor, will be sent by him to the chef lieu of the canton, and by the assistance of which the lists of electors will be drawn up. It is useless to add that these lists will be made generally public, so that each citizen may have the power of causing to be erased any indivi duals who are rendered incompetent by Art. 6 of the decree. " When these lists are drawn out, individual cards made from them will, a few days before the elections, be deposited at the mayory and placed at the disposal of each elector. " This card will give the right of admission to the citizen to his section. " The difficulties which might arise in populous districts will be got over in the following manner : " The general list of the Department of the Seine will be divided into approximative sections of 500 electors; so that the electors circumscribed within a narrow extent, will vote together at the place of meeting of their section, which will be pointed out on the card delivered to the elector. " Every one will then inscribe his name on the bulletin which will be delivered to him, as many names of candidates as there are to be deputies for the department. " Those who cannot write must, as in other official documents, have their mark attested by two wit nesses. In each section a proces verbal shall be drawn up of the number of votes, which will be transmitted to to the chef lieu of the department, when the definitive amount of the voting will be made up. " The members of the National Assembly will be elected according to a majority of votes, the minimum number must exceed 2,000." The Island of Bourbon, is to resume the name of Reunion Island. A. commission is appointed for distributing funds necessary for the service of religion, and the preserva tion and restoration of churches. The loss of the war brig l'Abeille on the west coast of Africa, on the 11th of December last, is con firmed. The crew saved. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT TEM LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE, MARCH 8.

Tun REVENIJL—A Parliamentary paper, which has just been printed, gives the amount of revenue money not paid into the Exchequer, but deducted for the cost of collection and other purposes. The total amount of deductions for the gross receipts not paid into the Exche quer, in revenue departments, is 5,904,0901.; and the amount received by all the departments, from all sources, except Parliamentary grants or issues from the Ex chequer, is 1,099,747/.; making an aggregate sum of 7,004,4381. ANNETTE MwrEßs.—We are informed that a peti tion has beet adopted at the Stock Exchange, praying ber Majesty to grant a commutation of the sentence passed upon this unfortunate woman. The Stock Ex change does not often interfere in cases of this kind, but the sympathy expressed in behalf of Annette Meyers was very general, and confident hopes are entertained that the appeal is her behalf will be successful, MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was dull again, at lower rates, by Id. to Id. per lb. on Egyptian, and Id. on American. Sales about 3,500 bales. Shares were flatter also. There is but little apprehension now entertained here that the acts of violence committed by the rabble in various parts of the metropolis will be continued. In the City business, which was yesterday almost entirely put an end to by the early closing of the shops, fearing a visit from a West-end or an East-end body of rioters, has been resumed this morning with its wonted degree of confidence. There are a few idlers about 'Change, principally boys, who are constantly kept on the move by the efforts of the police. Some very interesting accounts have come to hand this morning from the Cape of Good Hope. The dates are later from Cape Town and from Graham's Town. A most important meeting of the Kafir chiefs, and their followers, mound!): in all to about 2,000 to 2,500 men, held a conclave with Sir H. Smith, the Governor- General of the colopy, when fealty was sworn to the in protectors of the soil, the name of Queen Victoria. The Governor, dressed in his uniform, entered, with his staff, the circle of the chiefs and natives ; and a prayer having been given by a Wesleyan minister, in the native language, composed, it is said, by the Governor- General, which was heard with great attention, the address of his Excellency was given by him in a bold and simple style. The chiefs and the people bailed the Lieutenant- Governor with most enthusiastic cheers, the band of the troops brought forward on the occasion, 'playing " God save the Queen." The whole proceeding passed off most satisfactorily. There has been a very heavy market for the Public Securities this morning. Little influenced were prices by the mobility movements of yesterday, but the Continen tal advices are held to be of very serious importance. Consols for account opened rather firmly at 811, fell to 801, rallied again to 81, but again went back to 801. The fluctuations in Money Stock have been rather rapid from 81i to 801, with many intermediate changes in the figures. The Reduced Three per Cent. Annuities dropped from 814 to 80j, and then rallied to 811. The premium upon Exchequer-bills has been re duced from 275. to 245., and Bank Stock is at 193. In the Foreign Funds there has been an increase of business this morning. There has been a quotation given as low as 95 for the Russian Five per Cents. The Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have suddenly re ceded from 43 to 414. The Four per Cents. are at 71 to 72. Spanish Stocks are very low indeed, namely, at 12 for the Account, and the Three per Cents. have been sold at 23. Brazilian Five per Cents. command 79; the hiliwn es}, cud Mexican 14 j. In the market for the Railway Shares there has been but a trifling desire shown to purchase. The prices are flat. ONE CLOSING PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK. PRICES Bank Stock 3 per Cent.

The House sat to day to hear appeals. The Peers present were—the Lord Chancellor, Lord Campbell, the Earl of Stradbroke, and the Earl of Suffolk. THE LORD MAYOR OF LONDON. V. THE ATTORNEY- GENERAL. Tho arguments in behalf of the appellants in this appeal was resumed this morning, and occupied their Lordships the whole of the day. We refrain entering into a detail of the case until the arguments in behalf of the appellant are concluded. SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY . (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCUELL.) LEWIS V. BERENS AND ANOTHER. This was an action to recover the sum of 7/. 4i. 4d., the amount of an attorney's bill of costs. The defendants pleaded that they never were in debted. On the part of the plaintiff it was shown that the de fendants, who are china and glass dealers, in St. Paul's churchyard, were creditors of a person named Davis, carrying on a similar business on Ludgate-hill. In June last Davis, being in embarrassed circumstances, the defendants sent their clerk, a person named Wood, to arrange with Davis to make an assignment for the benefit of the creditors. Davis assented to this, and the plaintiff was instructed to draw up the deed, which was done, and executed by Davis, who had previously given an authority to Wood to take possession of all the property. Wood having taken possession of the pro perty, did not execute the deed ; but a fiat in bankruptcy was issued against Davis. It was now contended that as the defendant's agent acted upon the authority given, they had made themselves liable, although in the deed there was a proviso that the ex penses of the deed should be defrayed out of the first monies received from the sale of the property, but which was prevented by the defendants themselves, being instrumental in having Davis declared bankrupt. For the defendants it was contended that by the con dition of the deed it was clear that all the parties con sidered the costs were incurred for the benefit of creditors. It was urged that as the plaintiff was also a creditor, he could not sue. The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF said that he did not concur in that; if one creditor chose personally to employ another, the contract was binding. Wood was called, and proved that he went to the plaintiff, one of the defendants having told him that plaintiff had called upon them about Davis's affairs, and that when he went there plaintiff suggested au assign ment to prevent the goods being swept away by the landlord ; and he then promised to call the next day and sign the deed, but did not intend to do so. The witness said he had a general authority from defendants to act for them, and as one of them in such matters, but their names were not mentioned as intending to become liable for casts. The UNDER-SHERIFF said the question for the jury was, whether Wood, having full authority, had pledged the credit of his employers, or whether the plaintiff in fact looked to the goods as their security. The jury, after being locked up for some time, gave a verdict for the defendant. This was the only action tried. GUILDHALL.—(THIS DAY.) THE RIOTS IN THE CIT Y.—Morris lierriny,of 9,Vine street, Liquorpond street, was brought before Sir James Duke, charged with it,citing the rub and throwsng stones at the police. _ _ HoHands, No. 262 C, deposed that yesterday after noon he was sent with a body of constables to prevent the mob passing down Holborn-hill. The prisoner was cheering on the mob. The police attempted to disperse them, when the prisoner flung two stones at the con stables. Witness rushed in, and, after great difficulty, succeeded in taking the prisoner into custody. In reply to Sir James Duke, the constable said that the prisoner was a well-known character, and an asso ciate of thieves. The prisoner denied the charge. He was committed for seven days. Edward Normanby, charged with having broken the plate-glass in tie show-room of Mr. Pearce, Lud gate-hill, and also with destroying a chandelier, was fined 51. and two months' hard labour, and to find bail for three months. John Colles, for assaulting several persons, was com mitted for fourteen days. William White, of No. 6, Plough-court, Whitechapel charged with being oee of the ringleaders, and throwing a stone at the windows of Mr. Bright, Ludgate hill, and doing damage to the amount of from 25/. to 301., was fined 51., and, in default, committed for two months. One of the victims regretted that the magistrate did not order the fellows to be flogged. Mr. Alderman JonNsori, who came into court, said he was anxious to do so if the law permitted. THAMES. - (THIS DAY.) THE RIOTS IN THE METROINALIS.—Edward Smith, a respectable looking youth, was charged - before Mr. Ballantine with breaking the windows of Mr. Martin, a tobacconist, in Whitechapel-road. W. Glover, police-constable, stated that about seven o'clock last night about 600 persons passed through Whitechapel High-street, breaking the windows as they passed. When they reached Whitechapel Church the prisoner ran into the road and picked up some stones and threw them towards the shop windows. Witness ran after him and took him into custody, A cry was raised, " Pelt the police," and a number of stones were thrown at them. The prisoner cried out " Pelt them," and en deavoured to pick up some stones again. Witness suc ceeded with great difficulty in removing him to the station-house. The prisoner, in defence, said he never threw the stones and did not belong to the mob. Mr. BALLANTINE—The police only did their duty in protecting the tradesmen's property, and he should fine the prisoner 405., or in default be committed to gaol for one month. William Beadle, a boy about 16 years, was charged with assaulting Police-constable Dean, while iu the exe cution of his duty. Dealt stated that while the mob were crying out " Pelt the police" he was suddenly knocked down by several persons, and while he was down the prisoner struck him. He called for assistance and succeeded in securing him. The prisoner denied striking the police, and said he was a stranger in London. Mr. BALLANTINE said a more disgraceful, reprehen sible, and mischevious offence had never come under his notice as a magistrate. He committed the prisoner to the House of Correction for one month. Two others were bound over to keep the peace. ELECTION COMMITTEES. (THIS DAY.) BEWDLEY. The Bewdley Election Committee re-assembled at the usual hour in the morning; Mr. Wrightson in the chair. Further evidence of treating was gone into. LINCOLN. The City of Lincoln Election Committee re-assembled this morning; Mr. M. J. O'Connell in the chair. Thomas Ccxon, a publican at Lincoln, proved that at the last election he got orders to supply the blues (Seley's colours) with drink, for which his bill amounted to 141. 4s. The order'was given by Mr. Woodhead, a miller of Lincoln, who wanted witness to vote for S ee l e y, but he v o t e d f or Sibthorp and Collins. The drink was supplied principally to voters and their friends, and after the election lie called upon Mr. Keeley, at Mr. Seeley's mill in Lincoln, for the payment of the bill; but he was told as he had not voted for Seeley, he might get the money from those who ordered the drink. He then applied to Woodhead for the amount, but he refused to pay. The County Court, however, compelled him to pay the money. HARWICH. Tho Harwich Election Committee re-assembled at the usual hour this morning ; Mr. Stuart Wortley in the chair. John Baker proved that on the day of the nomination he saw two voters, named Harnock and Knight, at the Duke's Head, in company with Mr. Hastie, who pro mised them 20/. each if they would Vote for Mr. Att wood.

The Metropolitan Sanitary Commissioners held I Court ot Sewers this morning, in one of the Committee rooms of the House of Commons; Lord Morpeth in the chair. The cash statement having been read, and various orders respecting the sewage of different districts having been made, The SECRETARY read the following resolutions of the General Purposes Committee, as to the disposal of refuse and control over sen•ers:— " Resolved, ncnz. con., That the public refuse of cities is the property of the public. " That the refuse matters contained in the sewers of the metropolis should remain und*' the control of the Metropolitan Commissioners of Sewers. " That any profit obtainable from such refuse matters should be applied, under the sanction of the Commis sioners of Sewers, to the diminution of the rates. " That the Bill of the Great London Drainage Coal• pany, now before the House, would entirely appropriate to this private company, without any compensation, the whole produce of the metropolitan sewers. "That this Bill would have the effect of entirely superseding the Metropolitan Commission of Sewers. "That in the opinion of this Commission no plan of appropriating the contents of the metropolitan sewers ought to be entertained until the general survey and levels have been completed." On the motion of Mr. CHADWICK, the resolution was adopted, and power, which the committee prayed for, granted. _ _ _ A petition was read from Mr. Stalwood, a rate-payer of the Holborn and Finsbury division, complaining of the excessive expense which attended the collection of the rates of the division, and praying that the local , commissioners might be forced to render an explicit account of the moneys they bad received and expended. The petitioner stated that a silver breakfast service bad been purchased out of the rates for the benefit of the local commissioners ; and he prayed that this service might be sold, and the proceeds applied to the use of the rate-payers. _ _ _ The petition was referred to the general purpose; committee. Some other routine business was then disposed of, and the Court adjourned till Thursday, the 23d inst. THE 'DISTURBANCES IN LONDON• In our Third Edition, last night, we stated that the mob, after infesting the neighbourhood of the Strand, Fleet-street, Chancery lane, Fetter-lane, Holborn-bill, and Cheapside, and frightening the well-thinking part of the neighbourhood, had returned to its lair, and that all was quiet up to the hour of our Third Edition going to press. Such was then the fact, and the inhabitants of these:localities who closed their shops re-opened thews and all seemed going on quietly, when suddenly the more mischievous of the mob determined to march off to Stepney-green, a meeting having been advertised to take place there, under pretence of denouncing the income-tax. There they found a couple of vans, with a few persons in them, said to bi orators. One of them, the Mr. Reynolds who figured in Trafalgar-square on Monday, in default of Mr. Coch rane, made a rambling disjointed harangue, not about the professed object of the meeting, but respecting republics, Chartism, universal suffrage, liberty, equality, &c. This, however, was soon found to be tiresome, and the audience, about nine o'clock, and to the number of two or three hundred, announced their determination of proceeding en masse through Whitechapel, Aldgate, and the principal streets of the City, to destroy windows, and supplied themselves with stones for the purpose. This mob was shortly joined by a large concourse of idlers and others from motives of curiosity only, to the extent, as they progressed as far as Whitechapel, of several thousand persons. As they passed through Whitechapel the work of destruction commenced. Stones were sent flying in all directions, but in so systematic a manner, that no individual hand could be recognised from whom the stone was thrown. The windows of the chemists and druggists, bakers, and all those who had not, on the advance of the rioters, taken the precaution to close their shops, were speedily destroyed. The police on duty and many gentlemen and well-disposed persons preceded the rabble, and by their timely information of their destructive conduct enabled the shopkeepers to close their shops, and thereby saved a large amount of property. The disappointment of the mob was evident from the savage yell they uttered when they approached and found no opportunity of carrying on their work of destruction. The windows of the upper floors of houses were destroyed, as also the lamps, but on their arrival at Moses and Son's their joy was evinced ; the large squares of glass in the upper part of this building were destroyed, the lower part being closed. On they went through Leadenhall-street, Bishopsgate street,. ar.d Threadneedle-street, to the Bank, com mitting similar destruction. On their arrival at the Bank an attempt at a demonstration was made, the crowd collecting in front of the Royal Exchange, shout ing and yelling; but here it was ev id en t t h at their leaders understood their position, and the precautions that hsd been taken by the City authorities, to double at every point the police force, as a ls o th a t the military guard at the Bank had been doubled. Cries in a low voice were heard, " No, boys, no, not here; do not stop. On! on!" and away they went, without breaking a, single lamp in front of the Bank; the windows of the Royal Exchange suffered but little. At the Mansion house the rabble stopped, and repeated their yelling shout, and stones were thrown. The police here captured several without much opposi tion ; and at Bow Church, police-constable Burgess, 28 of the detective force, captured two of the ringleaders, who were inciting the mob, and succeeded in conveying them to the Bow-lane station. By this time various sections of the mob had dispersed themselves and pursued their course to the West• end by different routes, as is evident, from the windows on both sides of St. Paul's ; the large show windows of Messrs. Allan and Co., having been destroyed, as also those of many persons in New gate-street, Ludgate•street, Ludgate. hill, Holborn, the Strand, and other places. In the latter places the work of destruction was carried on by small isolated bands of young ruffians ; but fortunately, from the active pre cautions that were taken by doubly strengthening the police force, a great number of the most active were secured and conveyed to the several station houses, with scarcely in any instance any determined opposition. The most effectual stop to the career of the mob took place near the Old Bailey, when a large body of the City Police attacked them with so much determi• nation that they fled in all directions. The most active determination exists to put a stop to the lawless proceed ings that are now being carried on, the whole of the police force having been kept throughout is constant readiness to act. The mob generally were composed of the veriest scum of pickpockets, thieves, and coster• mongers. All appears quiet to-day, thanks to the effective mea sures so promptly taken by the City authorities and the City Police; and the foolish and stupid demonstration brought on by stupid and vain popularity-seeking parties, who ran away from the Frankenstein their own hands had reared, may now, we hope, be considered as consigned to the tomb to watch alone it belongs, namely, that of public disgust for itself and its authors, and ac companied by the desecration of every well-thinking subject of the Queen in the metropolis. RIOTS IN MANCHESTER. MANCHESTER, MARCH B.—Disturbances have com menced here, and would seem to have some con nexion with a revival of the anti-poor-law agitation of past times. Last evening a mob of several hundred men and women assembled in the front of the workhouse in Tib-street, and, after much yellieg, demanded that all the inmates should be discharged ; or, as they termed it, liberated. Of course this demand was not complied with ; and a strc , ng body of police being immediately on the spot, persuasive means were resorted to for the re moval of the crowd, and eventually, by physical demon stration, the rioters were compelled to retire and disperse. Meanwhile the mayor and magistrates assembled in the Town-hall, where they are now deliberating on the best means for preventing or repelling further outrage. To-morrow (this morning) there is to be a meetingi of the unemployed, in order to a procession through the town. MANCHESTER, MARCH 9, FOUR A.M.—The disturb ances in front of the Tib-street workhouse commenced as early as three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was not until after seven that the people were driven from the neighbourhood. The entire police force are to assemble at their office at nine o'clock this morning, and will be prepared to act with promptitude in the repression of outrage. The Oldham operatives are said to be on the move. THE RIOTS IN GLASGOW. (Extract from a letter dated Glasgow, March 7.) " The town has been in the hands of a most riotous mob yesterday and to-day ; the banks and all places of business are shut—the military and special constables are parading the streets—the mob, however, is increasing, and a serious conflict is expected to-night. About an hour ago the military fired and killed two men, and I much fear this is only the beginning of bloodshed. It seems there aro only 646 soldiers, and even this number is made up by getting all that Edinburgh and Stirling can supply. It is said the mob has attempted to set fire to the town in several places, and the rioting has ex tended to Airdrie and the mining districts. They are threatening, and have attempted to set fire to the mills and other public works, that they might get the workers to join them. I write this at the bar of the Royal Exchange, before falling into the ranks. I hope all will be settled to-night." GLASGOW, TUESLY AFTERNOON.—This morning the city wore a very disturbed aspect. Groups of low fel lows were gathered hero and there in the suburbs, and so soon as they were removed from one place they assembled in another. A number of the shops were opened in the morning, but by 12 o'clock every shop in the city was closed, and business entirely suspended. An attempt was made in Main-street, Gorbals, to resume the work of plunder, but the crowd was soon dispersed by a troop of Dragoons. In the eastern suburb of Calton the disposition for riot was more manifestly exhibited ; and here, we regret to say, life has been l os t. n the course of the forenoon, Mr. Smart, the assistant superinten dent of police, bad captured a fellow who had been prominent amongst the rioters, and was conveying him to the office, escorted by a company of armed pen sioners (who had been called oat the previous even ing). While the party was moving on, the rabble began to hoot and hiss, and finally to pelt them with stones, which rattled on the muskets of the pensioners and almost struck them from their hands. Many of them were much hurt by these missiles. Having endured the annoyance for some time, and the mob showing no disposition to disperse, but, on the contrary, gathering confidence flew their impunity, the pensioners were E
