pledged themselves upon every principle to support the Speaker, whose fitness to fill the chair—(Question)—he would dismiss that subject— He would not submit to the charge of inconsistency that had been brought against him by the Hon. Member opposite, without speaking as to the grounds on which he would give his vote on that occasion. He felt it incumbent upon him to give his vote against the motion of the Noble Lord, but he owned that under the present circumstances it was the bounden duty of every individual to consider the inevitable con - sequence of the repeal of this tax would be the dissolution of the existing Government.—(" Hear," and a laugh.) Sir, continued the Hon. Baronet, it is on these grounds that I consider it my paramount duty to alter the vote which I intended to give, and to vote against the motion of the Noble Marquis.—(Laughter and cries of" Oh I") Sir, I considered it the bounden duty of every politician, when the variety and rapidity of political circumstances are taken into account—(Great laughter)—such appearances justify a man from the charge of incon sistency—(renewed laughter)—in voting to day in a sense contrary to the way in which he would have voted yesterday.--(A burst of laughter.) I say again, Sir, that the suddenness and variety of the cir cumstances and changes which take place in the political world, and which baffle the kneenest sportsmen—(tremendotts laughter) Justify a man in voting to-day in a sense contrary to that in which he would have voted yesterday— (Renewed laughter)—and, is my motive for changing the vote which I intended to give upon this occasion.—(oll I and great laughter.) I know very well that I shall by so doing have offended to a considerable extent, probably to a very considerable extent —(Laughter)—those by whom I have been returned on this occasion, but I should be ashamed if I should so far sacrifice my consistency— (Loud and continued laughter)—if I should so far consult my own per sonal or individual interests so as to produce by my vote that result which must inevitably ensue if the Noble Lord's motion be carried, in turning out the present Ministry, and reinstating in its place a democratic Cabinet—(Oh, and laughter)—the object of which would be to introduce annual Parliaments —(Laughter)—universal suf frage—(Cheers and laughter)—vote by ballot—(Oh, oh)—the seculari sation of Church property—the separation of the Church from the State— the confiscation of funded property—(Laughter)—the annihilation of the hereditary peerage, national bankruptcy, and civil war.—(Laughter.) He expected that the Noble Marquis would have given the present Government a fair opportunity of proposing those measures for the relief of agriculture which were anticipated; and he (Sir R. Greisley) would have supported those measures if they had been moderate. But he must say that he should prefer even the loss of the present Ministry to the repeal of the Malt Tax—(Laughter.) He should appeal to his constituents with perfect confidence, and he was sure that they would approve of the sincerity of his principles. Those principles he had always professed, and he should always act upon them.—(Loud cries of " Question" and " Divide.") Colonel SIBTHORP stated that he thought it necessary to express the opinion of his constituents and friends ; and he would say that no man was more attached than himself to the agricultural interest, to which he owed all the enjoyments of life.—(Loud laughter.) Believing that the Right Honourable Baronet was ready to give to the agricultural interest all the relief. in his power, consistent with the safety of the revenue and the welfare of the country —believing that the-Right Hon. Baronet should have a fair trial—be lieving that the benefit would not be so great from the repeal of the Malt Tax as was represented, and that the effect of a Property Tax would be most pernicious, he must oppose the motion for the repeal of that tax.—(Loud cries of " Question.") Mr. HODGES would do justice to the Noble Marquis who had moved the repeal of the malt tax ; and it was most gratifying that one of his high rank was ready to do his duty.—(Hear.) His conduct was most judicious, as he only called for a resolution advocating the repeal of the malt tax, upon which he was to bring a Bill, in which he (Mr. Hodges) was sure that all the interests affected would be properly secured and attended to. He was sure that in that Bill the defalcation in the revenue would be provided for, and he therefore had no fear of the result. If justice were done to Ireland, the thing woUld at once be done, and the repeal agreed to. Most cordially should he vote for the motion of the Noble Marquis. Mr. HALL DARE rose amidst deafening cries of " Question, question," and " Divide, divide" He dissented from the reasons his Hon. Friendhad given for the alienation of the people from the higher classes ; he attributed it to the speeches and writings of Hon. Gentle men both in and out of the House, for their own purposes.—(Cries of " No, no," " Question, question.") He only wished to state his reason for the vote he should give. If the Noble Marquis should be successful in his motion, and the Government of the country was to pass into the hands of the Gentlemen opposite, he was afraid the effect of that change would be detrimental to the interests of the agriculturists and to the interests of the community at large.—(Loud cries of " Ques tion, question," " Divide, divide." Mr. CURTEIS rose amidst loud cries of" Question," and said if the Hon. Member for Derbyshire can violate so strong a pledge to keep Mi nisters in, he would not violate a pledge to turn them out, but as was well known he had, for many years before he had a seat in this House, publicly advocated this question ; and it was with the greatest pleasure he now gave his vote for the introduction of this measure. Mr. TREVOR rose amid loud cries of " Question" and " Divide, divide." He thought that an opportunity ought to be afforded to his Majesty's Ministers to lay their measures before Parliament, and he should, therefore, vote against the motion of the Noble Marquis. The Marquis of CHA NDOS, in reply, said he would not detain the House but a few minutes. He regretted that it should be thought he had brought forward the motion at an unseasonable opportunity. He could assure the House, if he had thought the Right Hon. Baronet intended in his Budget to take off any part of the Malt Tax he would not have brought it forward, but being convinced that he would do nothing of the sort he felt it to be his duty to bring it forward. If the question was lost to-night, he trusted the country would think that he had done his best, and that it was no fault of his. He regretted deeply the change of sentiment that he had witnessed, feeling confident if Members were to say one thing in that House and another on the hustings, the country would not place that confidence in their Representatives which was so essential to the security and safety of the country--(Cheers.) The House then divided, when there appeared— For the Marquis of Chandos's motion 199, Against it 350 Majority against the motion lbB CANADA. Mr. ROEBUCK moved that the evidence taken before the Canada Committee of the last Session be laid upon the table. Sir IL PEEL could not accede to the motion of the Hon. Gentleman after the statement he had made on the previous evening that Govern ment would send out a Commission to that country, a statement with which the House appeared satisfied. He would therefore hope that the Hon. Member would in the spirit of his second speech of last night withdraw the motion. Motion withdrawn. Mr. WALLACE, of Greenock, moved for a copy of a letter from the Commissioners of Revenue, Inquiry to the Treasury, in reply to the observations of the Postmaster-Gener3l in their 23d report, which said letter was dated 21st of May. 1834, and was signed R. Wallace, William John Lushington, Henry• Berens, J. P. Dickinson; also a copy of the report of the late Committee appointed to inquire into the Management of the Post Office. He had had frequent communication with the Hon. Member for Southampton upon the subject, and the letter was agreed to be laid upon the table so as to be printed, but it had not been fulfilled. He, however, and the Hon. Member for Middlesex, had procured copies to be made at their own expense. . . Sir R. PEEL suggested that as a new Commission had been issued, it would be better if the Hon. Gentleman would postpone at least the second part of his motion, to which Mr. Wallace assented. Mr. PEASE asked the Right Hon. the Secretary for the Home De partment what was resolved upon with regard to two prisoners convicted of highway robbery, and who had been condemned to death (we could not ascertain where). He thought that it was the opinion of the House that the punishment of death in such cases ought to be done away with. The reply of the Right Hon. Gentleman was quite inaudible. To a question from Mr. HUMS with regard to the surplus revenue, Sir R. PEEL replied that the earliest period at which he could make his statement could not take place until after the let of April. He wished to be as accurate as possible in any statement which he might make, and he knew the danger of inaccuracy which generally attended any premature and unconsidered explanation ; for a former Chancellor of the Exchequer, instead of a surplus of 600,0001., which he calculated upon, was only able to bring forward 200,000/. He did not see any objection there could be to waiting for a short period, and he was satisfied the House would prefer the delay rather than receive a partial and in correct statement. _ _ Mr. SHEIL then moved that the addresses of the Orange Lodges and the answers thereto should be printed, which being agreed to, the House adjourned at Half.past One.

Whatever disappointment the agricultural population may feel from the rejection of the Marquis of CHANDOS'S motion for the repeal of the Malt Tax, we really do not see in what way the country could have been benefitted by a different result. We are bound in common fairness to admit, that Ministers were constrained, in the present state of taxation, to adopt the course which they did on this question, and that the leaders of the Opposition were justified in supporting them—nay, that they proved them selves men of high principle by so doing. It matters not what party are in power—a certain amount of taxes must be raised to meet the exigencies of the State, and carry on the Government. There is no disputing this. Now the ques tion simply is, were the Malt Tax repealed, where could we find a substitute ? That the Malt Tax is immoral in its tendency—that it leads to the demoralization of the labour ing classes by compelling them to resort to beer shops— that it curtails the necessary comforts of many poor fami lies, and imposes a heavy expense on the farmers, we have always contended ; but as a tax it possesses many advan tages over any other which could be imposed as a substi tute, so long as the country is unprepared for the introduc tion of the Property Tax. The income arising from the malt is, relatively speaking, immense, while the expense of collection is less in proportion than that of raising any other portion of the public revenue-130,0001. being the charges on the collection of 5,150,0001. Again, the Malt Tax has the advantage of being spread over the whole community ; there are none who do not contribute to it, for those who do not drink beer themselves must provide it for their domestics. This is a great ad vantage ; for in the end it is those taxes to which all con tribute, which are least burdensome to the community. We were greatly disappointed with the speeches of the Marquis of CHANDOS and his supporters in the House of Commons last night. With the exception of Mr. HUME, whose speech will be read with great interest, and whose indefatigable exertions to reduce the public expenditure we are always happy to acknowledge in terms of great re spect, there was not a word spoken in favour of the motion which had not been employed in every possible variety of mood and tense out of doors. We had confidently expected that some project would be submitted to the public by the Marquis of CHANDOS, or his supporters, showing in what way the Government of the country could be carried on.after curtailing the estimates to the amount of nearly five millions. But on this most material point there was not a word spoken. The country gentlemen, who in reality would be the chief gainers by the repeal of the Malt Tax, were struck dumb when they heard it intimated from the Treasury Bench, that for the abolished malt duties, it would be necessary to vote a pro perty tax. They all at once opened their eyes to the real view of the question, when assured that the savings were not to go into their pockets. Now, unless a com plete revision of taxation take place in a very short time—unless the greatest improvements are made in our system of Excise espionage, which has really grown intolerable to the bulk of the trading community of this country,—we see plainly that we must come to a property-tax at last. This is the simple fact, and it is foolish in any person to endeavour to shut out the convic tion from his mind. The country will be driven to this at last, provided an immediate revision of taxation does not take place. Those who contend that we ought to have a property-tax at once are right in opposing the Malt Duties. The abolition of the Malt Duties stands in the same rela tion to a property-tax as cause to effect. The former ont:e given up, the latter follows as a necessary and inevitable consequence. As to the proposal for making up the deficiency in the revenue by a loan, we could not for a- moment listen to it. Where, in the name of reason, would be the use of adopt ing this temporary, extravagant, and expensive expedient ? DAY ATONE O'CLOCK, New 5 per Cent - India Stock . shut Ditto Bonds— n pm.

A loan of twelve millions would not cover the deficit for more than two years ; and in the meantime who would pay the interest ? Or where could we look for the principal ? If the people are oppressed by paying five millions a year now, we ask what benefit could they be expected to derive from adding to the principal the interest of that sum at three and a half or four per cent ? And even presuming them to be able to pay the interest of such a loan, in what way is it proposed that it should be raised ? There is but one answer to this question—by another tax, and thus, in stead of relief, the country would experience the greatest possible augmentation of the general distress. In the correctness of Mr. HUME'S views with respect to cutting down the national expenditure in the diplomatic service—in diminishing the standing Army--in revising and curtailing the Pension List—in abolishing Naval, Military, Ecclesiastical, and all other descriptions of sinecures,—rand in doing away with Militia expences, we most heartily and most entirely concur. The Hon. Member for Middlesex is right in saying that if all these things were done, the Go vernment might afford to give up the Malt duty ; but, with the best intentions possible, much delay must take place be fore this can be accomplished ; nor will such an event take place during the continuance of the Tories in office. Of the correctness of this assertion the country may rest well as sured ; for much as the Tories dislike a Property Tax they would impose it on the country, rather than cleanse their foul sources of corruption—these stagnant receptacles of the worn-out tools of Courts and Governments. With respect to the duty of opposing the Tories, we shall only understand it to apply to those measures brought forward by them against the interests of the community. As a body, we hold them to be corrupt and despotical ; but we will not attach blame to them for not doing what no prudent Government would do, similarly circumstanced. It will be seen that the Duke of WELLINGTON, last night, stated, in reply to a question of Lord BROUGHAM, that an Ambassador had been appointed to the Court of St. Petersburgh, who would set out for that Court the first convenient opportunity. This. Ambassador is of course the Marquis of LONDONDERRY, whose proverbial sagacity— foresight—acuteness—and vast reach of diplomatic expe rience—admirably qualify him to deal with such a wily set of politicians as form the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh ! We can imagine what a mere tool a man like NESSELRODE will be, in the hands of this brightest of Peers. How will Pozzo DI BORGO fret and fume, when he learns that an in tellect superior to his own, is for the future to watch over, sit in judgment on, and, if possible, counteract his most cautious and dexterous movements ? As for NICHOLAS, he, of course, will abandon in despair all further designs on Tur key. A STRATFORD CANNING, or even a DURHAM, he might possibly contrive to hood-wink on this point ; but there can be no blinding the eyes of such an Argus as LONDONDERRY. The House of Commons appeared to be pretty much of the same opinion last night, for when Mr. HUME happened to allude cursorily to the Marquis's appoint ment, the allusion was received with loud shouts of laughter, which, we have little doubt, will be cordially responded to by the St. Petersburgh Cabinet. In the House of Lords last night the Duke of WEL LINGTON, in reply to some observations of Lord BROUGHAM relative to the sailing of an English squadron from Malta, the appointment of an Ambassador to the Court of St. Petcrsburgh, and the death of the. Emperor of AUSTRIA, stated that the movement of the squadron from Malta had not been occasioned by any discussions with the Russian Court ; that his MAJESTY bad already appointed an Am. bassador to St. Petersburgh ; and that with respect to the death of the Emperor FRANCIS, he could not be expected, so soon after his decease, to state what would be the policy of his successor. In the House of Commons the chief business of the night was the discussion on the Malt Tax, in which, after a speech from the Marquis of CHANDOS, who brought for ward the motion, from Sir. R. PEEL, who opposed it, and from many other Hon. Members, among whom were Sir E. KNATCHBULL, Mr. P. THOMPSON, Mr. S. RICE, and Sir J. GRAHAM, the motion was lost by a majority, in favour of Ministers, of 158. It gives us pleasure to find that Ministers have at length seen the expediency of issuing a Commission to inquire " into the several modes of punishment now authorized, and in use, for the maintenance of discipline and the pre vention of crime in his Majesty's land forces ; and to re port whether, after a careful reference to all the circum stances and conditions under which the British army is constituted and governed, and all the services which it is called upon to perform, it may be practicable to dispense with the power of inflicting corporal punishment, or to make any other changes or modifications in the punishments now applicable to offences committed by the soldier, without detriment or danger to the paramount object of maintain ing strict discipline, and effectually repressing crime, in the ranks of the British army, throughout all the various con tingencies of military service to which his Majesty's troops are necessarily liable." If this investigation be conducted in an impartial spirit—and we have no reason to suppose otherwise—we are convinced that it will come to the con clusion, that the punishment of flogging should be wholly done away with. Wre have received the Paris papers of Monday, together with intelligence from Madrid to the Ist instant. The CITIZEN KING: has not yet succeeded in btmgling up a Cabinet—for we entertain no hope that he will succeed in renderinglhis work permanent. Marshal SOULT, Marshal GERARD, Count MOLE, and M. TRIERS are each and all stated by their respective partizans to have received the Royal commands for selecting colleagues to form a Alinistry. The news from the capital of Spain is not a jot more im portant. The QUEEN REGENT has, (very foolishly we pre sume to think) thought proper, in attending a public ball given by Count TORENO, to insist upon striking all names out of the list, who voted against the grant for the Conservatory of Music. The vote was proposed as one of the items of the Civil List, on the 26th ult., and was rather unceremoni ously rejected by the Chamber of Procuradores. Ever since, her MAJESTY, the REGENT, has been in high dudgeon, the Court in a ferment, and every thing in disorder. To make the Procuradors sensible of the injury they-had done the Royal feelings, her MAJESTY commanded that the usual grant should be continued out of her own private funds. The Infant Don FRANCESCO was among the number of those who gave the obnoxious votes, and conse quently was among the excluded from the Royal presence on this occasion. FRENCH FUNDS—Pats, MARCH 9.

Letters and Papers from Lisbon to the 24th ult. have been received, which state that a partial change has taken place in the Cabinet. No reason is assigned for this, ex cept the removal of the anomaly of Ministerksitting without Portfeuilles be thought a sufficient one. The Duke of PALMELLA has been appointed to take the Foreign De partment, in the room of Count VILLA REAL, who is Minister of Marine. The Count's predecessor, M. FREIRE, has gone to the Home Office, from which the Bishop of COIMBRA, who has been raised to the peerage, has been -moved.

There was an absurd rumour cir culated some days since in Lisbon, stating that Don MI GUEL had again landed in Portugal ; but, on investigation, it appears to be destitute of all foundation in fact. The condition of all classes in Portugal is rapidly improving. We understand it is in contemplation to collect, and publish by subscription, the speeches on Reform delivered by an Hon. Baronet in the House of Commons, since the introduction of the Reform Bill in 1831. The work, it is supposed, will extend to ten thick quarto volumes. It will be edited jointly by Messrs.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Upon Viscount Canterbury receiving the freedom of the Worshipful Company of Merchant Tailors, it was remem bered that John Good, Citizen and Merchant Tailor of London, was a lineal ancestor of his Lordship; being father of Lady Hampson, mother of Sir Thomas Hampson, father of Lady Hungerford, mother of Lady Lexington, mother of the Duchess of Rutland, mother of Lord George Sutton, father of the late Archbishop of Canterbury, father of the Viscount. Z. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sot—ln your paper of the 6th, the concluding part of the paragraph respecting Sir Francis Burdett induces me to trouble you with a few lines :—" Poor Sir Francis t when we remember what he has been, we cannot think without a sigh on what he is. We say so more in sorrow than in anger. not unmindful of, nor ungrateful for, the past, &c." Now, Sir, I must differ with you on the score of any gratitude being due to Sir Francis. Had he continued the dignified path he pursued for so many years, there is no public man of the present day who had so many claims on the gratitude of the country ; but the more prominent his position has been, the greater his pre sent delinquency, and the more responsible is lie for his tergi versation, not only to his constituents, but most particularly to every leader of Reform throughout the kingdom ; for, after the example he has exhibited, I ask what public man can set forth pretensions to the confidence of the people and not be with reason suspected ? Ido not know an instance so fatal to the credit of public men as this conduct of Sir Francis ; it is a national degradation, and leads us to melancholy reflections on the fallibility . of human nature. Sir Francis is now a Tory, and it might have been adduced, in mitigation of national sentence upon him, that he had the courage to avow it ; but his sneaking from the test on every occasion, and watching every loop-hole to escape the chance of detection, exhibits a meanness which any one who remem bers the Crown and Anchor meetings of former days will scarcely, with his senses about him, be able to credit. The electors of Westminister have now a duty to perform, and there can be no doubt that it will be characterised by the good sense and judgment which have always marked their political pro ceedings. I am, Sir, Your most obedient servant, LONDINENSIS. Manchester, March 9. The Duchess of Kent is in the habit, during her sojourn at the different watering places which are honoured by her presence, of employing all the tradespeople in the neigh bourhood in turn ; thus making all participate in the advan tage of her residence among them. Her Royal Highness's bills are paid daily before nine o'clock in the morning. The Ecclesiastical Commissioners had another meeting yesterday morning, at the office in Great George street. The Commissioners assembled at one o'clock. A letter from Boulogne-sur-Mer says :—" A very full season is expected. Several large houses are already en gaged. Building speculations are now the rage; of nine master-builders, not one is sufficiently at leisure to undertake another job for a month to come. The Hotel du Nord has been so much enlarged as to present now the finest facade of any hotel in Europe. The Hotel des Bain , : has also been in creased to double its former size. The rent of houses in good situations has within two years augmented twenty per cent. Most of the shops are now lighted with gas, and in a few weeks the streets, through the perseverance of the present enlight ened and indefatigable Mayor, will have a similar advantage." EXTRAORDINARy.—The annals of physical science do not probably present another instance in kind so remark able, as that of a man in perfect health losing from 60 to 60 lbs. of flesh a year, as the fact has been with Mr. Willard Fisher, of Casadaga, in this county, for the last six years. Mr. S. informs us that in September last, he weighed 247, and on the first of January, 2801bs. and should he continue to improve, as has been usual for him during the winter months for the six years past, he will by the first of March next, reach 300, when he will begin to fall away again, and his health all the time unimpaired. His weight at birth was I llbs. only, and yet at the age of three years he weighed 1041b5., and from that period until the age of sixteen his average increase was 101bs. a year. His greatest weight was at the age of 19, when he weighed 3101bs. ; his present age is 26.—Dunkirk W/Eig. The number of persons who paid a penny each to walk on the footpath of the London and Greenwich railway, on Sunday last, amounted to upwards of three thousand. On Friday night a meeting was held at the Albion Tavern, Aldersgate-street, with a view to the institution of a society in support of the Church of England, according to the principles established at the Reformation, " yet conscious that a moderate but efficient reformation of its internal govern. ment and discipline was necessary, in order to effect a more full and perfect administration of that excellent establishment." The King of Sweden has decreed that ships of every flag, surprised by bad weather, or in want of provisions or re pairs, may enter the port of Slito, or any other in Gothland, without paying any expense, except for pilotage, and gratuities to the custom-house officers. A fly was blown over on the Pavilion-parade on Saturday evening. We are happy to say the two ladies who were inside escaped without injury.—Brighton Patriot. So sanguine were the Tories of Lewes of the success of Fitzroy at the last election, that they procured an articulated skeleton from London, which they intended to suspend from a gibbet, to be drawn about the town in Fitzroy's triumphant train ! Fortunately for the honour of Lewes, the Tories were disappointed.—Brighton Patriot. A numerous Meeting of the Reformers took place at the Bear Inn, Lewes, on Monday, at which Mr. Wood pre sided. The healths of the Members of the Eastern Division of the county, and of our borough, were drank, and the even ing passed off with great harmony.—Brighton Patriot. The Milan Gazette of the 26th ult. announces that the accident which lately happened to Madame Malibran arose from her horses running away and overturning her car riage, by which she received several contusions, and had one of her arms dislocated ; still it was hoped at Naples that she would be able to make her appearance at the San Carlo on the 22d, in the new opera by Bicci. CORONER'S INQUEST.---DEATII OF A CHILD FROM BURNING.—Last night an inquisition waq held at St. Bartholomew's-hospital, on the body of a little girl named Eliza Wilson, who was brought to the hospital so dreadfully burnt that death ultimately ensued. The poor child was on a visit for the day to her aunt, at No. 4, Mark-place, Finsbury, and being left alone got playing with a lighted stick, which happening to burn her fingers, she let it drop, and it fell into her pinafore, and her clothes were in an instant in a blaze. Her screams brought the neighbours, who extinguished the flames, and the child was carried immediately to the hospital. Verdict, "Accidental Death." CORONERS' INQUESTS An inquest was taken at Shoreham on Sunday afternoon, at the Fountain, before H. Gell, Esq., on view of the body of Richard Oram. It appeared in evidence that the deceased was on Friday last passing up the river towards Shoreham Bridge, in a boat laden with sand, when, by a sudden gust of wind, which at the time was blowing very strong from the south. west, the boat was upset, and the unfortunate man was drowned. Near two-and-twenty hours elapsed before the body was discovered, and when taken out of the water it was much disfigured by the shell-fish of the river. Verdict— " Accidental Death." At six o'clock in the evening of the same day, Mr. Gell held another inquest at the Rose and Crown, Brighton, on view of the body of Stephen Sidney Goodman, the informer, who died on the previous Friday night from suffocation. Josiah Goodman, son of the deceased, deposed that his father called suddenly for him on Friday night; went to his assistance im mediately, when he complained of a pain in the throat, and shortly fell back in witness's arms, and expired. Deceased had not been unwell previous to Tuesday ; since then had complained of a difficulty of breathing. Mr. T. B. 'Winter, surgeon, residing in Brighton, deposed that he was called on to attend deceased on Friday last about ten o'clock; deceased complained to him of a sore throat and a difficulty of breathing ; on examination, perceived a slight degree of inflammation and ulceration about the uvela, but observed no symptom whatever of immediate dan ger. Witness administered medicine and a gargle, and did not see deceased again till after death. Had since opened the body ; on doing so, found a great ulceration of the membrane lining the larynx, with a considerable swelling of the glottis ; this had caused suffocation. Entertained no doubt whatever that deceased had come to his death from natural causes. Verdict—" Died by the Visitation of God." Another inquest was then taken at the same house, before the same Coroner and Jury, on the body of William Frederick Gillam, an infant about 13 months old. The Jury returned a verdict of " Accidental Death." From the evidence in this case it may be presumed that the unfortunate child, which was represented by the Jury to have been a remarkably fine one, had awoke soon after the absence of its mother, and although only 13 months old had found its way to tha fire (the only light in the room), and by some means or other its clothes had ignited. —Brighton Patriot. THE QUEEN.—We are sorry to announce that her Majesty was so indisposed on Sunday as to be unable to accompany the King to the Chapel Royal ; and on Monday her Majesty's health was not improved, being confined to her apartments. Lord Stanley has issued cards for a grand Par liamentary banquet on Saturday the 21st instant, in Calton- gardens. The Marchioness of Wellesley, with her mother and sister, Mrs. and Miss Paton, are gone to Brighton ; the Mar quis remains at the Clarendon Hotel. The Duke and Duchess of Sutherland have removed from West-hill, Wandsworth, to Stafford-house, in the Green park, which spacious mansion is now almost complete in its improvements. His Grace will give his first grand dinner for the season on the 18th inst. A full and respectable meeting of the friends of reform was held at the Bear Inn, Lewes, on Monday evening Thomas Wood, Esq. in the chair.—Brighton Paper. THE SHEFFIELD TORIES.—It is long since the Tory Club died, and since the Tories attempted to make any demonstration in Sheffield. At the last election, it was well understood that they were not indisposed to act, but felt them selves too weak. We take our readers to witness that it is no fault of ours they shrank from the contest. We were not a little disappointed that the Reformers had not the opportunity of giving them a beating. Now, however, we hear that, enraged by Mr. Parker's staunch adherence to his principles, by finding that he is not even a Tory of the Stanley school, they entertain the mighty project of ousting him at the next election. Unless that time should soon arrive, we are appre hensive that their courage will have evaporated before it be tested. Be that as it may, we are told that just now they are making a great stir in private, and are actually handing about a requisition for a Tory candidate—the rejected of Forfar shire, we suppose.—Sheffield Independent. AGAIN Correspondent informs us, " passing the News-room, Pelham-street, on Saturday evening, I was surprised at seeing a friend of mine coming out, having signed the petition lying there, requesting his Majesty to retain his present Minister in opposition to the views of the Commons House of Parliament. I asked, do you know what you have signed? He replied yes; the attendant informed m 6 it is a petition praying for the separation of the Church and State. I instantly undeceived him. He returned to the News-room and requested to have his name erased, but was denied. Perhaps, Sir, we may hear in another paper, of the num bers who have signed this petition. In the good old days of Tory misrule, such things were common enough, and we perceive the spirit of Conservatism is so nearly related as to require the meanest artifices to support a cause 'which de serted by the friends of liberty, finds itself passing swiftly into oblivion." —Nottingham Review. A rencontre took place at Knoxville, on the 25th ult. between Daniel Campbell and L. D. Slater, in which the latter was seriously wounded by a knife by the former, and after receiving his wound, shot the other (Campbell) dead in nis tracks.—American Paper. The Earl of Haddington (Lord -Lieutenant of Ire land) has left town on his return to Dublin. SNOW AT NORFOLK.—The first snow which fell at Norfolk the present season, was on Wednesday last, when it covered the ground to the depth of twelve inches. The ponds were frozen, and sleighs driving in all directions.—Ame rican Paper. THE NEW STREET, STRAND.—TIIC difficulty which has so long existed to the carrying this street onward through Bow-street into Lows• acre, owing to a dispute as to the title of the houses on the west of Bow-street, between Hart-street and Long-acre, has at length been obviated, and the Commissioners having obtained legal possession of the premises, the demolition of the same is proceeding rapidly, so that before long the public may reasonably hope to congratu late themselves on the completion of the undertaking so far as the carrying a spacious opening from the Strand into Long acre. Some further unions of parishes under the new Poor Law Act have taken place in this neighbourhood. One union comprises 11 parishes, including Wivelsfield, Barcombe, Chailey, Newick, Hamsey, Westmeston, Plumpton, Chilting ton, Street, Ditchelling, and Ringmer. Another includes the parishes north of this union, and stretches froth - Fletching to Maresfield. A third union takes in the under-hill parishes from Glynde to Alfriston. The act is thus being put fast into operation.—Brighton Paper. FIRE.--On Thursday morning the Parsonage house at Elmlcy, Yorkshire, was discovered to be on fire, and before assistance could be procured, the whole of the in terior was destroyed. The Rev. Mr. Pym had a very narrow escape, the fire having penetrated to his room, and seized upon his bed before he awoke. The damage is to the amount of 5001. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.-;.--On Sunday evening, about eight o'clock, the premises of Mr. Huggins, artist, Gibraltar Place, Chatham, was observed to be on fire, and within half an hour, the wind blowing fresh from the south, the whole of the building was burned down. The flames soon communi cated to the adjoining houses on each side, and the whole row of houses appeared in the most imminent danger. Several engines were on the spot, and the military from the garrison showed the greatest intrepidity to arrest the flames. There was a very scanty supply of water ; indeed Mr. Burt's drays were obliged to fetch water from Rochester, a mile and a half distant. How the fire happened is not known. AMERICAN LITERATURE.—A New York morn ing paper reviews a contemporary periodical in the following characteristic manner :—" The Knickerbocker for January, has been laid upon our table. We have only time to mention, that it contains twenty original papers, sixteen literary notices, an editor's table, &c., making in all 94 pages of matter." How fond these people are of tables ; but wood, we suppose is cheap. FORGERY.—A tall native of Scotland, calling him self David Thomas, but whose real name, from documents found in his possession, appears to be Thomas Walker, was brought before the magistrates, charged with forging a bill for 191. ss. A superintendent of police stated that on Thursday last the prisoner went to the shop of Mr. Medley, a draper, in Whitechapel, and made some purchases, in payment for which he gave a bill purporting to be endorsed by Thomas Liddell, Alexander Hume, Arthur ;Heywood, I. 0. Bold, Rathbone Brothers and Co., Thomas Walker, and several other respectable individuals. Mr. Medley, seeing these names on the bill, had no suspicion of a fraud, and gave the prisoner 81. in change. After the prisoner had left the shop, Mr. Medley on consideration had some misgivings as to the authenticity of the signatures, and he accordingly went to the police-office, and one of the officers took the bill to Messrs. Heywood's bank, when it was ascertained that the signature of A. Heywood and Co. was a forgery. It was subsequently discovered that the whole of the endorsement were forgeries, and a description of the prisoner being given to the police, he was apprehended on Saturday by an active officer named Ainsworth. On being taken into custody the constable found a number of papers on the prisoner, from the perusal of which it appeared that the prisoner is a great scoundrel. A copy of the bill written in red ink, and several begging petitions, were amongst the documents found in his possession. To these petitions were annexed re commendations, to which the names of respectable persons in Edinburgh were affixed, stating that David Thomas, the bea rer, who some time ago was head miller, superintendent, and clerk to the Edinburgh Company of Bakers and Gristers, was a man of excellent character, but had met with many misfor tunes, which had reduced himself and family of six children to a state of destitution. A series of letters, evidently written by a man of education, to the prisoner were also found upon him, dated from a town in Kent, and signed by a doctor of medicine, the author of a work on temperance, and who gave evidence before a Committee of the House of Commons on that subject. From the contents of these letters it seems that the person alluded to has been in the constant habit of remit ting sums of money to the prisoner, but for what object it does not appear, as the letters arc written in a most mysteri ous style, and urging the prisoner to get off to America. The prisoner is ano cautioned by the writer against getting intoxi cated, for fear that in his drunken moments he might let something slip that would be the ruin of both the writer and himself. There is reason to suppose that other disclosures may take place. The forgeries having been substantiated against the prisoner, the magistrate asked him if he had any thing to say in his defence, when the prisoner said that he was " quite innocent." The depositions were then ordered to bo taken, and the prisoner was committed. —Liverpool Pow.
