hope finally to escape. If resistance to this demand be persevered in they should take care lest the great pressure from without should, in overbearing the obstacles in its way, break down the most valued insti. tutions of the State—(hear, hear.) He hoped that on the present occa sion there was not a doubt of a majority in favour of the proposition of his Noble Friend—(loud cheers.) But it was in their having a large and decisive majority that the main hope of a speedy and happy settle ment of the question depended. Therefore every Member of that house should recol'ect the great responsibility that attended the vote he should give. They should act purely and independently on their own judg. silents, uninfluenced by party calculations, and unconstrained by pledges rashly and inconsiderately made. For himself be was determined to act on that independent principle. The right hon. Baronet opposite, the Paymaster of the Forces, had, however, been pleased to say that the present question was brought forward from factious and selfish motives. The right hon. Baronet had his unfeigned pity, if from the feelings of his own breast he judged of the motives—(loud cheers)— by which men were actuated in their public conduct. Su far was he (Lord Howick) from having the slightest wish to supplant the present Government—that on dissussing the amendment to the Ad dress—Hon. Gentlemen would themselves bear testimony—that although h • supported the Amendment, he expressed a hope that it would not have the effect of removing the present Administration from office. —( Hear, hear, from the Ministerial benches.) Since then many measures had been suggested, from which he dissented lest they should overturn the Ministry. He had taken that course, not because he had confidence in the present Ministers, for he had none—(('heers from the Opposition)— or that he had adopted the doctrine of measures and not men—(Conti nued cheering)—but because from the state of parties he could not see, if the Ministry were suddenly broken up, the means of satisfactorily constituting another Government, so many were the difficulties which presented themselves—and he should certainly say that the obstacles were not diminished. —(Hear, hear.) It was therefore that he regretted the present Government had staked its existence on the question of being able to maintain the Irish Church in its present state. He would have preferred to see them forgetting declarations, they might themselves repent having made in opposition, and adopting wisely the views of their predecessors. For his part he would be content, for the credit which those with whom he was acting would derive from aiding in the settlement quietly and speedily of those healing measures which all were so interested in arranging. If, however, the Right Hon. Bart. were determined on adhering to his declarations, it was not such a question as that they were called on to decide—it was not for him (Lord Howick) to shrink, whatever might be the result—(Loud cheers.) On the motion of Mr. LEFROY, the debate was then adjourned till to-morrow (this day). The resolutions on the Supply were reported. 'fhe other orders of the day being then disposed of, the House ad journed at one o'clock. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS Owing to the heavy press of. Parliamentary and other matters, we are able only to give fragments from the lead ing articles of our Morning Contemporaries on the debate of last night. We select, however, the most prominent passages, and to quote the words of Mr. Cobbett, our readers must " judge of the sack by the sample." The ltiorning Post says— " The threatened attack of the Movement party in the House of Commons commenced last evening on the Established Church, for it would be an insult to the understandings of the anxious members of the Protestant faith who are watching with painful interest the resolutions now under course of discussion, pledging the House to appropriate the Church property in Ireland to secular purposes, to disguise from them our conviction that the factious and dangerous proceedings of Lord John Russell and his supporters, while they ostensibly apply to an imaginary surplus revenue of the Irish Church, are, in point of fact, ultimately intended to destroy the re formed religion in England." * 4 t " We may upon the whole congratulate the country upon the debate of last night. So far as strength of argument is concerned a splendid victory was achieved. Heartless declamation and un founded assertions were met by impassioned eloquence and irrefu table facts; and we are somewhat curious to learn how the discus sion will be conducted by the " Tail," after the severe dressing its leader received at the hands of Sir James Graham and Sir Edward Knatchbull." The Times, after a lengthened analysis of the debate observes-- Lord John Russell said he should move that, his resolution having been agreed to, an address be presented to the King, in treating his Majesty to enable the House to carry the resolution into effect. The excuse his Lordship made for passing over the House of Lords was, that the King, having Church patronage in Ireland, should be asked to waive that patronage before any mea sure of the kind was propounded. But if this be necessary, why not apply to the King in the first instance ? And where will the House of Commons be if his Majesty should answer, that, so far as he is concerned, no patronage of his shall stand in the way of improvement recommended - by_the other two branches of the Legis lature, but suggesting to the House of Commons that there are two independent branches of the Legislature besides himself—namely, the Lords and Commons, which the Commons seem to have for gotten ?" The Morning Advertiser alluding to the arguments embraced in Lord John Russell's Speech, says,— " From the soundness of these propositions even considered ab stractedly, no liberal mind—no well-wisher to his country, can pos- sibly dissent ; but the question is not one of abstract principle—it is a practical question in every point of view—a great. national ques tion indeed—the question of the continued existence of the Legis lative Union between this country and Ireland, and of the mainte nance of a legally Established Church where no such church is re quired, and of a standing army of 30,000 men to prevent the rebellion of those who deem that where there are no hearers there ought to be no church, and that those who belong to another and an unpaid church ought not—especially as they form the majority —to be made to contribute to the support of that of which they are not members. This is the naked question at issue, involving at the same time, we allow, the fate of the present Administration, and, in consequence of its extreme importance, very justly forming the test by which it . is to be tried." The Morning Herald confines itself to a mere recapitu lation of the principal topics of the debate. The ..illorning Chronicle says— The-Right Hon. Baronet, viho placed himself in front of the battle last night, observed, that Lord John Russell seemed to have forgotton that there were Protestants in Ireland as well as Catho lics. This really formed the sum and substance of the argument of Sir Edward, who contrived to steer quite clear of the question before the House. There are Protestants in Ireland, and as they form a valuable but small portion of his Majesty's subjects, they ought not to be forgotten in the arrangements for that country. But, for the sake of the Protestants themselves, justice ought also to be done to that large portion of his Majesty's subjects who have hitherto been overlooked in all arrangements—th e Roman Catholics. It is for the interest of the Protestants that the Catholics shall be treated with kindness and proper consideraticn. It is quite impossible that the Catholics can see, without feelings of discontent, 800,0001. appropriated to the maintenance of the Church of 750,000 Protestants. The Protes tants have only to ask themselves how they would feel if they were the great majority of the population, and the whole Ecclesiastical property of the country were assigned to a small Cathol.c minority ? There is no halting half-way between oppression and equal justice. From the moment we relaxed in our treatment of the Catholics, we conceded to them power to force further concessions from us. 'lt, is absurd to suppose, now that they have been taught to feel their strength, that they will be satisfied with the present irritating sys'em adopted towards them. 'Ministers cut a wretched figure last night. Pocr Sir Edward had literally nothing to Fay. Sir James Graham came, indeed, to their aid, and seemed to repent the sacrifices to liberality he made when a member of Earl Grey's Ministry. We wish the present Ministers joy of the aid afforded them by Sir James." The publication of THE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced thin day at 15 minutes past 3 o'clock. PLYMOUTH. (FROM OUR OVVN CORRESPONDENT.) PLYMOUTH, SATURDAY EVENING, MARCH 28.—1 t has been currently reported here during the past week, that arrangements are now in progress by the mad-coach contractors on the line of road from London to this place (Plymouth), which, when com pleted, will enable the London mail to arrive here two hours sooner than it does at present. Now, the mail leaving London at eight one evening, arrives here the following one at seven o'clock; but it will then arrive at five, thus performing the journey of 218 miles in twenty-one hours. We understand the principal object in view, in making the new arrangement, is to forward the Falmouth mail by way of Plymouth, instead of the north of Devon, as at present. The many recent arrangements which have been made in the con veyance of the mails, reflect great credit on the Post-office Depart ment. Only a week or two since, Torquay has been made a post town, and its inhabitants are consequently relieved from a tax of a penny-post from Newton Abbott. During the past week immense shoals of mackerel have been taken is the channel of this port and brought in here, and exposed to sale at the low price of ninepence per dozen—they are generally remarkably fine. Plymouth Sound presents to-day rather an unusual sight, up ward's of ICO sail of vessels being at anchor there waiting a change of wind to enable them to proceed to the eastward; the wind has been to-day and yesterday blowing very strong from N.E. The Rattlesnake, 28, Captain Hobson, sailed yesterday morning 'for the East Indies. The Rolla, 10, Lieutenant and Commander Glass, also sailed yes terday for the coast of Africa. • Also the Industry, Harrison, for New York ; and Relief, Treva tham, for St. John's, New Brunswick. The Moira, Johnson, which arrived on Monday last from North America, bound for London, is still here. The liauritius, from the Isle of France, out 73 days, arrived here last evening, laden with sugar, for London. In Hamoaze—the San Josef, Dublin, Viper, and Diligence naval transport. In the Sound—the Romney. SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.) (FROM LLOYD'S.) DEAL, MARCH 30.—Wind S.

If, either from the want of information, or the want of sense, there existed a doubt in any man's mind as to the propriety of appropriating the surplus income of the Irish Church to purposes generally beneficial to the people of Ireland, we think that doubt must be re moved by the debate which took place last night in the House of Commons. Though the discussion may be prolonged in courtesy to those Hon. Members who wish to deliver their sentiments on a question of so much interest, and though much eloquence may be expected from some of those who have yet to address the House, we apprehend that little will, and we are sure that nothing need, be added to the irresistible case made out by Lord JOHN RUSSELL, Mr. WARD, and Lord HowicK, while Sir JAMES GRAHAM'S declamatory appeal has left little for those who follow him on that side to urge. The Noble Lord commenced his unadorned, but unanswerable speech, by alluding to the motion for a Repeal of the Union, brought forward by Mr. O'CONNELL last Session, which was met by an Address to the Crown, stating the determination of the House to maintain the Union inviolate, to remove all just causes of complaint, and to promote all well-considered measures of improve ment. The answer of the Crown was an echo of the Address. The Crown and the House, were, therefore, pledged to redress the grievances of Ireland, and either this pledge must be redeemed, or the Union must be dissolved. The Noble Lord then drew a melancholy, but too true, picture of the moral state of Ireland, which was the natural consequence of the barbarous treatment which she had experienced, and remarked that, by a singular coincidence, the most glorious periods in the history of England had been marked by an aggravation of the oppression of Ireland, in stancing the reigns of EDWARD 1., ELIZABETH, and WILLIAM 111., and calling particular attention to the important circumstance, that, at the time of the Re formation, the religion of the clergy only was changed —that of the people remaining unaltered. In later times, when increasing light and liberality would no longer tolerate the severities practised towards the The whole of the French Journals of Sunday have been received. The committee on the project of law for the indemnification of America, made its report on Saturday, in the Chamber of Deputies, recommending the payment of the 25,000,000 francs to the United States. The re port is very long, and has the amended project of law ap pended to it. The last article is the most importar.t, and runs thus : " The payments on account of the 25,000,000 francs shall only be made in case the Government of the United States shall not have done any thing to injure the dignity and the interests of France." The project of law will be introduced into the Chamber with as little delay as possible, as it is necessary that it be disposed of before the commencement of the trials. The prevailing opinion is, that it will be adopted by a consider able majority. A Bill has been brought in for regulating the carriage of passengers in merchant vessels to the British Colonies in North America, of which we have given an abstract else - where. The total loss of many such vessels filled with poor emigrants, and the heart-rending accounts of the privations and sufferings endured by the passengers in others, had ren dered such a Bill imperatively necessary ; and we hope that its provisions, when united to the assistance and protection afforded to the poor emigrant by the Government agents appointed at some of the principal ports last year, will put an end to the infamous system of fraud and deception which has long been practised upon simple and ignorant passen gers by the organised gangs of swindlers, who, under the name of agents, infest the outports, and divide the the plunder with unprincipled ship-owners, brokers, and masters. In consequence of the great in crease of emigration, it has, however, become necessary that Government agents should be appointed at those of the second-rate ports in all three parts of the kingdom from which the tide of emigration is now flowing with so much rapidity to Canada and the United States. In order, also, to afford complete protection to the British emigrant, the provisions of this Bill should have extended to vessels pro ceeding to the United States. The penalties incurred by the breach of its enactments might have been enforced on the return of the vessel to Great Britain ; or some arrange ment might, we have no doubt, have been made with the United States to enforce the penalties there, inasmuch as that country is so deeply interested in affording every facility and encouragement to European emigrants. Mr. Chalmers voted for the second reading of Mr. Poulter's Sabbath Observance Bill.—His name is omitted in the list of the Majority. COMPLETE EDITION OF CONVPIZR.—W e are re quested to state that the First and Second Volumes of the Rev: Mr. Grimshawe's Conipke Edition of Cowper are now ready, with the Engravings, and may be had of the publishers, Messrs. Saunders and Otley, Conduit-street; or of the Book sellers in town and country. The embellishments are a View of Berkhamstead (the birth-place of Cowper), the House in which Cowper was born, Cowper's House at Weston, and a View of Olney, as seen from the spot described by Cowper in his poems. They are beautifully engraved by the Findens, in the style of Byron, Crabbe, &c. from drawings made expressly for the work by Harding. THE RULING PASSION.—A story is told of a merchant staying at an inn, whom the boots by mistake called at an unusually early hour. " Sir," said boots, " the day is breaking." " Let it break," growled the sleepy traveller, "it owes me nothing." The vessel hired to carry the mail from Lerwick to Peterhead sailed on the 29th of January, and did not return till the 27th of February, having been thirty days on the trip. —Scotch Paper.

HAMBURGH, MARCH 27.—The arrivals of Wheat have lately been very inconsiderable, and chiefly from Mecklenburg, some of which have been sold at 77 to 80 rixdollars for ex portation, in consequence of which prices of the best qualities for home consumption have risen a little above the quota tions. At present our market may be considered as almost cleared, with the exception of small parcels of Lower Elbe and Marks still on board the vessels, and the prices are there fore pretty firm. Of Rye only the best qualities are in de mand for local consumption. Barley, of which the importa tion has been trifling, finds purchasers without any alteration in the prices. Of Oats the supply has been pretty consider able and readily sold at current prices. Of Peas and Beans nothing particular to be mentioned. The small supply of Rapeseed that has arrived is partly sold at the current prices, partly still in the market. Some Rapeseed Cakes have been sold at noted prices. Linseed Cakes hardly asked for. From the 14th to the 20th, there passed the Sound, one ship with Rye, three with Barley, and one with Pease. HAMBURG BORSEN HALLS, MARCH 27. FOREIGN FUNDS. Bills. Money.

From this motive proceeded the granting of the Elective Franchise, and Catholic Eman cipation. The justice of these claims was denied by the very men who yielded them, and whd declared expressly that they did so to avoid a civil war. He then went on to shew that no concession granted in such a spirit could be expected to conciliate the — Catholics—that something must be done to spew them that their wel fare was a subject of consideration with the Legisla ture—and that nothing could tend more to accomplish this end than, in redressing an intolerable grievance, to confer at the same time a positiv - e" and substantial benefit. He then passed on to the subject of esta blishments, quoting from PALEY the following striking passages in support of his opinions : " The authority of a Church Establishment is founded in its utility ; and whenever, upon this principle, we deliberate concerning the form, propriety, or comparative excellency of different establishments, the single view under which we ought to consider any of them is, that of a scheme of instruction,' the single end we ought to propose by them is, the preserva tion and communication of religious knowledge.' " Every other idea, and every other end, that have been mixed with this, as the making of the Church an engine, or even an ally, of the State ' • converting it into the means of strengthening - or diffusing influence ; or regarding it as a sup port of regal in opposition to popular forms of government ; have served only to debase the institution, and to introduce into it numerous abuses and corruptions." He agreed also with a Right Reverend Prelate, who stated in one of his charges last year, that " the avowed object for which the Church is established is the spiritual instruction of all classes of the people." In applying the doctrine of the celebrated Arch deacon, and—to compare small things with great—of the present Bishop of LONDON to the state of the Irish Church, the Noble Lord went into a comparative statement of the Catholic and Protestant population, from which it appeared that the Catholics are to the members of the (so called) Irish Church as fifteen to one generally, while in many individual instances the proportion is infinitely greater, as our readers may perceive by the following table, to which the Noble Lord referred in illustrution of his argument : Established Roman Parishes.

Balsoon 440 62 69 63 4,779 4 107 7 313 After some very forcible reasoning on the justice and necessity of adapting the Church Establishment of Ireland to the wants of its members, the Noble Lord stated his motion, for which we must refer our readers to the debates, and enlarged upon the propriety of sa tisfying the country as to the opinion of his MA JESTY'S Ministers on this all-important question, before the House could consistently enter upon the discus sion of the Irish Tithe Bill. Sir EDWARD KNATCHBULL followed on the oppo site side, and made a very lame speech, almost the whole of which was a vain attempt at the argumentnm ad homineana futile endeavour to convict the mover and his friends of inconsistency on this question. Mr. WARD was the next speaker, and delivered a very powerful address in favour of the motion, of which we are sorry to say we have not, room even for a short abstract. The Hon. Member for St. Albans was followed by the late First Lord of the Admiralty, who may be said to have made some amends for his great lack of argument by much animation, and occasional eloquence. It would not be difficult to show, from the authority of the Right Hon. Baronet, that the Church Establishment, both in England and Ireland, ought im mediately to be suppressed ; but we shall content our selves with asking him whether, if Church property be held - on the same terms as private property, the Govern ment are justifiable in treating it, as they have done, in the Tithe Bill ; and whether it is less a violation of its sacredness to annihilate the fourth part of it than to devote a useless surplus to useful purposes ? The only other Member that addressed the House was Lord HowicK, and we cannot help congratu lating the country on the prospect which the Noble Lord has held out to it—and that not on this occasion alone—of seeing perpetuated in the son, the manly character and comprehensive mind of his noble father. PARLIAMEN TA.RY SUMMARY. In the LORDS the first report of the Municipal Corpora tion Commission was laid on the table. In reference to the late execution at Waterford of an individual by mis take, Lord PLUNKET said it was the fault of the Jury. The Witnesses' Indemnity Bill, and the East India Com pany's Compensation Bill, were read a first time. An ar rangement was entered into by Lord BROUGHAM and the Duke of RICHMOND, who conducts the Abolition of Oaths' bill, that it be read a third time on Thursday. In the COMMONS Lord JOHN RUSSELL brought forward his important resolution, for appropriating the surplus reve nues of the Church of England and Ireland to the purposes of education, without distinction as to creed. The Noble Lord moved for a Committee of the House, which, if granted, he declared his intention of following up by an address to the KING. Sir E. KNATCUBULL opposed the resolution. Mr. WARD supported it. Sir J. GRAHAM was strongly opposed to it. Lord HOWICK supported the mea sure. At one o'clock, Mr. LEFROY moved and carried an adjournment of the question. DUBLIN ELECTION COMMITTEE The Committee met to-day at 11 o'clock, and having ob tained leave of the House to proceed in the absence of Lord Albert Conyngham, Mr. HARRISON was called upon, in pursuance of the resolu tion they came to on Saturday, to argue the question as to the legality of authenticating the return in this case by parole evi dence, in the absenc e of direct testimony to that effect. He cited a number of cases to show that in Courts of Law parties were held to be at perfect liberty to prove written instruments by parole evidence, and to amend affidavits by the same means. One case he referred to, in which Lord Ellenborough decided the jurat was not a necessary part of the affidavit in an indict ment for perjury. He (Mr. H.) proposed to produce the town. clerk, who was present, when the Mayor and two Sheriffs of the City of Dublin signed the affidavits in question. On the decision of this point depended, whether the poll was au. thenticated properly, and of consequence, whether the Com mittee could proceed with this investigation. The affidavit of the returns, it was contended by the Sitting Member, was insufficient, inasmuch as it omitted to stat e th e o ffi ce f the person before whom the affidavit was sworn, and that the names of the High-Sheriffs (the returning officers) were not introduced into the jurat of the affidavit. He next referred to Parliamentary law in support of his posi tion. In 1819, after the general election. he ( Mr. H.) took objection to the return of the poll in the case of the Limerick petition. The difficulty of proving the poll, as appeared in that case, rendered it necessary, owing to the expense and delay it occasioned, to pass two Acts to remedy the evils which it gave rise to. By those Acts of Parliament (1 Geo. IV. chap. 11. sec. 63, and 4 Geo. IV. chap. 73) it was ren dered necessary for all poll clerks to authenticate the poll, and deliver it to the Returning Officer, who was to transmit the same to the Crown-office. The endorsement on the return procured from the Crown-office was afterwards held sufficient to prove the names of the candidates, and the numbers who voted for them. Such was the object of these Acts, namely, to diminish expense, and to simplify the pro duction of the preliminary evidence. In the Galway and Dublin election cases the defects of the affidavits authenticating the returns, were remedied by the parole evi dence of the Returning Officer. The Londonderry election case was a case in point. The return was not signed nor authenticated by the Mayor, who was the Returning Officer, but by his official clerk, and bore the seal of office. Time was given to produc e th e p o ll-b oo k s , an d t h e comm i ttee a dj ourne d from day to day, until the proofs to authenticate them were supplied by the poll-clerks—the committee holding that the petitioners should not be prejudiced by the misconduct of the Returning Officer. The committee went so far in that case as to pass a distinct resolution, declaring that the conduct of the Mayor was highly irregular, for omitting to verify on oath the endorsement on the return, and thereby subjecting both parties to great expense and inconvenience. He submitted that both on principles of Parliamentary law and of Courts of Law, the misconduct of Returning Officers should not be permitted to preclude petitioners from an investigation, whether his irre gularity proceeds from design, partiality, or negligence. Such a doctrine would leave all elections in the power, and under the controul, of the Returning Officer. In some of the cam he had cited there was no affidavit at all; in others, improper affidavits; and, in one case, the affidavit was out of time ; yet the Committee postponed their proceedings until the Return ing Officer arrived to prove the poll. Mr. AUSTEN rose to reply on behalf of the Sitting Member. PARLIAMENTARY BUSINESS. HOUSE OF COMMONS. NOTICES OF MOTIONS FOR THIS DAY. I.

Of those discharged in 1833-83 males, and 53 females-3 1 mal es and 20 females have received gratuities for go od conduct since their liberation, and many others are going on well, but nin e males and five females have returned to evil courses. Solitary confinement is as much resorted to as possible; and when the prisoners meet, silence is strictly enforced, and they are llot allowed to approach each other.

Montreal Papers have been received at the North and South American Coffeehouse, to the 22d of February, and Quebec to the 20th of Feb. The Montreal Papers state that the organization of the Constitutional Associations, throughout the country, is now proceeding with considerable rapidity and success. Both•the above arrivals are destitute of any important information. THE FUNDS. The attention of the public and the City politicians is entirely occupied this morning in perusing the important debate of last night in the House of Commons, on the motion of Lord John Russell, on the Irish Church question ; and the event of the divi sion on this important and interesting subject, is looked for with great anxiety both by the Tories and Whigs. In the meantime, both parties are forming opinions on the result. The Tories are of the decided opinion, should Ministers be defeated, they will still ob stinately maintain their places. The Whigs say, after experiencing so many defeats, they must soon make a retreat; at all events, up to the present. hour, it has not had any impression on the Funds— Consols, which left off yesterday at 92 for the Account, opening this morning at 91,i, with little doing. Exchequer wills, 37 38 ; India Bonds ; 20 21. In the Foreign Market it is settling day for the Foreign Stocks, and there is little doing; the chief attention of the brokers and jobbers is towards settling their accounts. It is expected all will go off well. Spanish Bonds opened at 65 to -1; Spanish Scrip, Bto ; Por tuguese Stock maintains yesterday's prices, 941 1 g. The Express from Paris being of Sunday's date, we have not re ceived any . French prices, but at Tortini's they were lover. Our arrivals this morning are a Malta mail, by the Firefly, which sailed from Malta on the 12th of March, Gibraltar on the 21st, and Cadiz on the 22d ; one French mail and one Hamburgh mail, with the Express froth Paris. HALF-PAST ONE. The whole of the morning the general topic of conversation in the city, and, we may say, in every Coffee-house, entirely related to the situation of Ministers ; and the prevailing opinion is, that they will be defeated, and that Sir R. Peel will resign his office, which will be refused by his Majesty. But we deem this, as on dit at present, and we must wait the result of the debate. Consols are not so good as in the early part of the morning, when they were 92 for the Account • at present they may b e q uo t e d a t 914 and 914 for money. Little business is doing in either of the houses. Exchequer Bills. 39 ; India Bonds, 20. In the Foreign Market the Spanish Bonds receded to 65 ; at present they are 65k. Spanish Scrip, which was 8 premium, may be quoted at 8 premiu m . P or t uguese cont in ues fi rm at 94i a. In other Foreign Securities there is little doing. Up to the present hour, it appears that the settling of the Foreign Account is going off well, as we do not hear of any failures. THREE O'CLOCIC. Consols for the Account, 914 1. The best coals are now selling at Southampton at 20s. per ton, being upwards of one-third less than the general price in London. Should this disproportion continue, the Southampton Railway will probably have considerable traffic in this commodity. DRURY-LANE.—Mr. Vandenhoff last night made another essay of his dramatic powers in attempting to repre sent the character of Virginias, and although we cannot award his acting the praise of super-excellence, we will not deny that it did exhibit points deserving commendation. It may rank among Mr. Vundenhoff's best efforts. The theatre was in the early part of the evening very thinly attended, but it afterwards made a more respectable appearance. My Neigh bour's Wife, and Masaniello were the afterpieces. FRENCH PLAYS.—ENGLISH OPERA -HOUSE.— A very crowded house was attracted last night to these per formances by the announcement of a novelty called Robert Macaire, composed as a continuation of the celebrated L'Au berge des Adrets, and represented with extraordinary success at Paris, and at the principal cities in Prance. It is an ex travaganza, written in the same strange style of ultra-drollery as its predecessor. Roguery in the most ludicrous shape is brought forward in Robert Macaire quite as prominently as in L'Auberge des Adrets—it is irresistibly laughable, and the acting of Lemaitre and Vizentini provoke the continual dis play of mirth. EARLY APPLICATION OF GALVANISM TO ME DICINE.—TEe following grotesque prescription occurs in Scri bonius Largus (De Comp. Medicament., c. 1.) :—" Pain in the head, however inveterate and intolerable, is immediately removed and permanently cured by the application of a live black torpedo to the part, till the pain ceases and the part is benumbed; when this is perceived to be the cue, the applica tion must be discontinued, lest the sensation of the part should be lost. Several torpedoes of this kind should be had in readiness, because torpor, which indicates the success of the remedy, sometimes does not occur till two or three fish have been used." The author recommends the application of these po tent fish to the feet in gout. Op. Cit. c. 41. These are cu rious instances of the employment of galvanism in medicine, long before the existence of that great agent was recognized in science.—Ryan's Journal. NATIONAL VACCINE INSTITUTI The report of this Institution is just published. It appear s from it that the deaths by small-pox in London last year wer, only 334, a number less by at least 4,000 than the anat!'` average of deatha by that disorder before vaccination was c 11 5" covered, though the population of the metropolis was then more than one-fourth less of its present amount. The appli cations to this Institution for vaccinating material, last }'ear' were 42 from the navy; 34 from the army ; 53 from for ei e stations; and 107 from provincial dispensaries. There were vaccinated last year at the Institution 11,571 poor pascals; and 83,191 charges of lymph were sent out. CONVICTS.
