MORN IN G They then had the plan of a normal school, from which all religious instruction was to be excluded. They (the Oppo-i -tion) fought that question ; they fought it successfully, and the scheme was abandoned.—( Hear, hear, and cheers.) He 'now came to Ireland. The Noble Lord had rejoiced excessively in his administration of the affairs of Ireland.—( Hear, hear.) He (Sir James ttraharn) had heard the Noble Lord make a speech with more than his usual power, because it appeared to him to be made with more than ordinary sincerity, on the subject of Irish railroads. He appeared to think that a grant of public money for Irish rail roads would be conducive in the highest degree to the prosperity of Ireland. The Noble Lord took the sense of the House, and his propr;sal was supported by a majority ; but there were indi cations of opposition from that side of the House, and such was the awe in which the Noble Lord stood of any opposition from that side of the House, that from that day to this they had heard no more of Irish railways.---( Cheers.) The Hon. Mem ber for Bridport and himself agreed in the opinion that the great defect in the English registration was the want of an ap pelate tribunal. For three years her Majesty's Government had been trying to cb al with the question; Bills had been laid upon the table of the House, they went as far as the second reading, but they never proceeded further, because they contained a principle to which they (the Opposition ) entertained an insuperable objection, namely,' that the appointment of an appellant tribunal should be entrusted to the Speaker of the House for the time being.—( Hear. ) Such was the weakness of Government, such its imbe cility, such its want of power, that not even this question could they bring to a decision. There were several minor questions which were not unimportant. Some Bills were in troduced by Lord Advocate Al urray, three years ago; one upon the important subject of fictitious votes. In 1838 it was read a second time ; in 1839 and 1840 it was also read a second time.—(hear.) But what had become of these 13 , 114 ? Why, they had all gone to the tomb of the Capulets—(Great laughter)—where the Noble Lord said alt that imposture of the anti -slavery cry had gone too. He would only observe with respect to tile Irish Registration Bill and its 5/. franchise, that this Government, possessing the con fidence of the country and of Parliament, had thought fit at the private suggestion of the Hon. Member for Shrewsbury to raise the franchise from 5/. to 81. His Right Hon. Friend (Sir R. Peel) reminded him of another proof of their weakness. When ho (Sir J. Graham) was in Lord Grey's Govern ment, he was authorised by that Government to prepare a Bill for the Regulation of the Ecclesiastical tribunal of this country, in conformity with the Report of the Ecclesiastical Commission. In 1834 that Commission had proceeded a considerable length towards maturity. In 1835 his Right lion. Friend, then in office, having ascertained that he had been authorised to prepare such a Bill, communi cated with hint upon the subject. He informed his Right lion. Friend of what had passed, and he happened to know that in 1835 he had a treasure ready to present, when he quitted, office. Since then six years had elapsed, and her Ma jesty's Ministers had never attempted to deal with the subject, had not introduced any measure.—(" Hear, hear," from Lord J. Russell.) Did the Noble Lord mean to say that it had been presented? He never saw it.—(" Yes," from Lord John Russell.) Oh, it had been presented? What had become of it? It had shared the fate of the Bills for Scot land, gone to the tomb of the Capuletz.—( A laugh.) This was an additional proof that her Majesty's Government (lid not sufficiently possess the confidence of that House to carry the measures which they thought necessary.—( Cheers. ) He would now comment on a measure which afforded a test of the legislative skill of her Majesty's Government.—(Cheers.) He alluded to the question of the Poor-laws. He (Sir J. G.) was a party to the introduction of that measure, and he at tached great weight to it, because he thought it a measure of primary importance. It would be remembered that a very important part of the original enactment was the duration of the Commission. The term of its duration was five years. He (Sir J. Graham) thought it expired abont 1838, but the Noble Lord feeling the difficulty of the subject, asked for a renewal of the measure for a year. That was granted, and at the expira tion of that time a similar renewal was asked for, and granted also. At the commencement of the present session, after nearly three years of deliberation, the Noble Lord the Secretary for the Colonies brought in the Bill which he held in his hand, as the fruit of his deliberation. Now, if ever there was a measure that required caution in its introduction, and care in its preparation, that was the measure ; and, in ordinary pru dence, the principle which should have guided the formation of such a measure should have been to have introduced the minimum of change in such regulations as could be allowed. Was that the course pursued by the present Government? No. The converse of that was adopted. It seemed to him that the measure had been framed upon the principle of asking for more than Parliament would grant, in order to obtain as much as possible; and every mitigating regulation which the Commis sioners advised was omitted. Now, in order to show the skill of her Majesty's Government, he would just advert to what had taken place when this abortive measure was brought under the consideration of the House. The most important provision was with respect to the term of the duration of the Commission. The Noble Lord in his Bill proposed to prolong that period for ten years, and on the first discussion his Right Hon. Friend the Member for Tamworth, having merely intimated that ten years was too long, the Noble Lord gave way and it was reduced to five. Next came the clause for issuing general orders. This was resistost, and as soon as resisted was withdrawn. Then there was the clause giving the power of dissolving unions. This was objected to, and he (Sir J. Graham) hand forgotten whether that clause was post poned or withdrawn. Then with respect to the removal of infirm paupers, that clause underwent discussion, and as soon as it was seen that the feeling of the House was against it, her Majesty's Government, upon the first discussion relin quished it. Then as to the burial of the dead, his Right Hon. Friend objected to the clause, and it was withdrawn ; and the same course was pursued with respect to the medical clause. In short the Bill was so negligent and incautiously prepared that proposition after proposition was given up, and at last the Noble Lord had backed out of the measure altogether on the ground of the present state of affairs, and given it up altogether.—( Hear, hear.) He must now make a few observations with respect to the course pursued by the Noble Lord the Member for Lincolnshire. Ministers had said that the ground of want of confidence had been narrowed to the Budget; and' that Noble Lord had voted against the sugar duties upon that principle. Tho Ministers re tain their offices merely, and for the purpose of ad vancing the question of the repeal of the Corn-laws— they intended to dissolve in the hope of doing so. Where then was the sincerity of men who avowed themselves strict friends of the agricultural interest, yet would give a vote of confidence to the present Ministers. Would Lincolnshire understand such conduct ?—( Cheers)—no, it was acting against common sense, and the heavy agriculturists of Lincolnshire would not adopt it. Why, suppose a madman was running about the street armed, and attacking all whom he saw, what would be thought of any one who did not rush in and disarm him—(Laughter)--at all events strip him of all power to do him harm? Why a policeman would be dis charged to-morrow who did not do his duty in that manner. lt remained to be seen whether an English constituency would not visit equally suspicious conduct with their condemnation.— (Cheers.) Some good had already arisen from the discussion. —(Loud Ministerial cheers.) They now understood much better the ground upon which matters stood. The Honourable Member for North Shields said the second proposition was a true one, supposing an immediate dissolution was intended. Now, until his Right Hon. Friend gave his notice, could any thing be more ambiguous than the conduct of the Government? They gave notices of motion for distant days, even after their defeat upon the sugar duties—nay, even last night, after hearing the speeches of the Cabinet Ministers, he left the House without being able to tell what steps the Government intended to take, for one signified re signation, and another intimated faintly, dissolution— (Laughter)—and now the Noble Lord the Secretary for Ire land said that the Government did not intend to go with the present Parliament for any lengthened period. Was that enough to please the Hon. Member for Shields ?—the Govern ment did not mean to go on for any extended period. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, by dealing with the money of the Savings' Banks, had enough tommet the exigencies of the country—the Sugar Duties' Bill was far advanced—why, then, delay a dissolution ?—( Cheers.) But he would ask what se ecurity had they that the Government would not go on until after the new registration? He would ask the Hon. Member for Shields whether that would be satisfactory? Unless some thing more definite was laid before the House, he claimed the vote of the Honourable Gentleman.—(Cheers.) It was somewhat extraordinary, that whereas all Ministers yielded to the express sense of the House of Commons, the Ministers who offered the most protracted and obdurate resist ance were those who had constituted it, as he believed it to be, the read representative of the feelings of the country. He thought it a most unfair exercise of the prerogative of the Crown, slier the signal defeats they had suffered on the Bud get, nut to take one or other of the alternatives of immediate resignation er dissolution. There was nothing to prevent the (City , rnmcnt brieginss forward that measure at an earlier period. The deficiency was knoen to the Chancellor of the Exchequer when Parliament assembled, and he might have taken the sense of the Home upon big propositions when there could be no impediment to a dissolution:—(Hear, hear.) He contended that eltey had exercised the power of the Crown in a most unconstitutional manner. They had asked for the Sugar Duties Bill and the remainder of the supplies, while they called upon the House to discuss the Corn-laws with the terror of a dissolution before them.--( Hear, hear.) He contended that any Minister who so conducted himself after a series of defeats, wounded the honour of the House, impaired its dignity, and defied its power. It was somewhat extraordinary to see the Noble Lord shelter himself under the rather inapplicable precedent of Mr. Pitt. Now he preferred the authority of Mr. Fox, who had stated that such a proceeding as they now con templated was tantamount to declaring themselves independent of Parliatneta, acid a violation of the privileges of the House. —( Cheers.) He should vote for the resolution, because he was :nxious to put on record, in the Journals of Parliament, the heavy weight of responsibility her Majesty's advisers would incur, if they counselled dissolution under the, present circum stances. The time till the meeting of the new Parliameut was an interregnum, which should not be unnecessarily pro longed. The dissolution should be immediate.—( Cheers. ) He was no great admirer of the skill with which the Government played the game, although he admitted that skill with which they shuffled the cards. But although they could not play their e own game, he did not see wh y the y should be entitled to tool into their neighbours' hands.—( Cheers and laughter.) Prorogation was the prerogative of the Crown, but he contended that a more dangerous, and, he was about to add, a more revolutionary proceeding than the advice of a dis solution could net be conceived by any rational being. The Government of Lord Grey, in the year 1831, brought forward the Reform Bill. They carried the second reading of that Bill by a majority of one. Shortly after, in a matter of very maker importance they were defeated on a motion of General Gascoyne. What did they do ? Did they preach dissolution ? The next morning, without an interval of more than twelve hours, they advised the Crown to exercise its prerogative, and instantly Parliament was dissolved. That was the precedent. —( Hear, hear.) So much for the precedent which the Noble Lord hail given them. Now he was prompted to an other precedent. In the year 1807 Mr. Tierney, when it was doubtful whether resignation would be the result of the speech from the Throne, or dissolution, or that the Government would only be carried on for "some extended period of tinie"—these were tho words of the Noble Lord (Morpeth ) " the Government does not intend to carry on their adminis tration for any extended period"-well, Mr. Tierney, in 1807, in no very ambiguous terms; announced to the House that a dissolution should immediately ensue. The Noble Lord had, he was sure, some respect for Mr. Tierney. What were the observations of Mr. Tiernoy on that occasion ? He said, " As for a dissolution, I am convinced it cannot be in tended, particularly when I see a religious clamour raised be cause the malice of the devil has given rise to the cry of r the Church in danger.' "--(Ministerial cheers.) Did they cheer that? Did they, believe that the cry of " the Church in danger" was less exciting than the cry of " Cheap broad ?" It had been asked where were the signs of agitation. They were asked from the Treasury Benches what was the harm of it— what was the nature of it? Now he would tell them what was the nature of it. In the discussion on the Corn-laws last year in that House it was hi.; (Sir James Graham's) pain to hear the Noble Lord the Secretary for Ireland declare, that, in his opinion, no man who was not prepa-ed to alter the Corn-laws as they now ex isted could obey the Divine injunction and offer up his prayer for daily bread. In a passage very brilliant and very eloquent, and U T no means hasty, or void of consideration, the Noble Lord th e fieereteey for the Colonies, in opening the question of the Sugar Duties, and announcing the scheme of Government, declared th at in his opinion the present Corn laws were at variance with the beneficence of Providence.— (Ministerial cheers.) He (Si r J. Graham) was aware that many gentlemen in that House entertained those opinions. He believed them to form a considerable minority, but whe ther they fount a majority or a minority he would appeal to their dispassionate judgment whether such language could fail to produce the utmost possible excitement ? That was the most dangerous excitement which a Government could possibly pursue on a most dangerous subject. They were told of a strong man in despair, who attached torches to the tails of 300 loxes, and sent them thus among the corn. That was a true picture of the present Ministry with torches `attached to their tails.—(Laughter.) That was a natural representation of the course pursued by Government. That as. duty after all, was he was pursuaded, but an after-thought. The Right Hon. Gentleman, the Secretary at War, had told them with much frankness, that the timber project might be carried ; that the sugar pro;ect might be carried, but that the corn project was a hopeless project. He ( Sir J. G.) believed that the project of Is. duty on the bushel of wheat was never determined en till after the defeat on the Irish Re gistration Bill. It was a desperate plunge made by desperate men. They had made up their minds to leave it to a cast of the die, determined to stand the hazard of the throw. He could not say 0 passi graviora, for never was a country cursed by a more dangerous or reckless Administration.—( Op position cheers.) They had the assertion of the Noble Lord —Dabit Deus Lis quoque finem, and he (Sir J. Graham) thanked God that at last they had got rid of the prospect of such an evil as the present Government.—(O position cheers.) Ou the motion of Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD the debate was adjourned till Wednesday next. The o'her Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at a Quarter to One o'Clock. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. EPSOM RACES.-FRIDAY. The company yesterday was more select than on Wednes day, but still numerous, the unusual extent of the field for the Oaks having proved an unexpected set-off against its compa rative unimportance, held out inducements which few lovers of the sport could withstand. To the lower orders it had no charms, and the quiet and easy observers enjoyed a good day's racing without the annoyance of a mob. In their progre.s to and from the Downs, however, they were exposed to one in fliction, to which we refer a second time, in the hope that it may be noticed in another shape. We allude to the fraud practised en the Epsom and Ewell ti ust ; the Act of Parliamentf it seems, authorizes an increase in the toll of one half, to meet the ex penses of a water-rate, assuming, of course, that the roads would be properly watered, to enable them to obtain, not 50 but 100 per cent. on the proper toll ; the lessees of the trust mentioned had previously raised it from threepence to four pence ; and during the race-time put the increase on the four pence, thus actually doubling the usual charge. Had the roads been well watered, no one would have objected to this, but as nothing of tlie kind was attempted except at the toll heuse, where some half-dozen pails of water were used for the comfort of the money-takers, we hope to hear that some parties who have a little leisure time, will lay informations and enforce the penalty. Many of the higher classes were present to witness the race for the Oaks, immediately after which they started for the second heat of the " Want of Confidence Stakes," which was expected to be decided in the course of the evening. The start for the Oaks was fixed for half-past two, and was decided a few minutes before three, as follows : The Oak Stakes of 50 sovs. each, h ft, for 3 yrs old fillies, Bst ilbs each ; last mile and a half; the second to receive 1001. out of th e stakes, and the winner to pay 1001. towards the police. &e.

The horses got away at the first start in excellent order, Lampoon taking the lead at a moderate pace, Aspatria lying second, Snowdrop third ; and behind them Protection, Ghuz nee, Mystery, Pntentia, and two or three others. No altera tion occurred till they reached Tattenham corner, where the pace mended, and the tailing commenced. Lampoon's lead lasted to the road, where she resigned, and fell into the rear with Aspatria. Ghuznee immediately took up the running, followed by Miss Stilton, the Mystery filly, Protection, Ermen gardis and Sequidilla, nothing else being in front ; at the Dis tance Miss Stilton challenged and made a bit of a race of it to the Stand, where Ghuznee shook her off and won cleverly by a length. The Mystery filly was third, Sequidilla fourth, Pro. tection fifth, and Ermengardis sixth. A lot of eight or ten succeeded, and then Snowdrop. Minaret, one of Sir G.

DREADFUL DEATH OF A GENTLEMAN OF FonTuNE.—On Tuesday evening an inquest was holden at the Hanover Arms Hotel, Brighton, by F. 11. Gell, Esq., coroner for Sussex, on Lyttelton George Elrington, Esq. Mr. Solomons, the chief officer of police, said that there was a young lady in attendance who had been riding with the deceased, but as she was labouring under the most distressing feelings, she wished to be excused giving evidence. 'The Coroner and Jury would hear the other evidence, which perhaps would be sufficient. Henry Forman, groom to Mr. Tamplin, of 2, Lennox place, about half-past 12 o'clock was looking out at the window, and he saw a lady and gentleman (the latter he now knew to b e th e d ecease d) r id e past t h e h ouse i n t h e direction of Lewes. They were at the time going at a fast pace, and the horses were very quiet. The deceased passed over to the other side of the lady, and put his horse in a canter ; the animal then broke into a trot, and then into a ga ll op, cross i ng the road again and making towards the Hanover Arms, and witness saw the horse fall ag a i nst t h e wall.' The deceased could not sit the horse ) proper'lwhen the horse started. The lady put her horse into at r rot and followed, and was nearly up to the deceased w h en he fell William Beattie saw the deceased coming a t a rapid rate from the direc tion of the Steine. His feet were out of tie stirrups, and one of the stirrups and leath er was The de ceased appeared very much alarm e d, and holding on by the pommel of the saddle with one hand. The l was rushing towards the wall, and wit ness called out to al deceased to pull the reins with his right hand, which he 1 1 dhorse id, and the suddenness of the jerk caused theto wheel off short, and he threw the deceased headfoe most against the flint and rolled over him. The horse got up and trotted off. It did not kick at the deceased. He considered the horse was frightened by the manne r in which the deceased rode. Witness heard the crash; as the deceased's head struck against the wall, and ran and picked him up. The blood flowed profusely, and there was no sign of life. The Coroner asked the Jury ' whether they washed to question the lady, and they re plied that they considered it unnecessary. The Jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death."—Deodand Is. The deceased was only 25 years of age, and resided is ith his mother on the Sterne. The body was conveyed in a hearse to his late residence. REPRESENTATION OF LIVERPOOL.—We re peat the assurance that two Anti-Monopolist candidates, in every way unexceptionable, will come forward to con test the representation of Liverpool with our brace of bread and sugar taxers, Sandon and Cresswell, but we are not yet at liberty to mention their names. Arrange ments are, however, in progress, and we doubt not that they will lead to a satisfactory result.—LiverpoolMcrcury. THE CHARTISTS AND THE COMING ELEC nows.—The Bath Chartists have come to the following reso lutions :-1. That in the opinion of this meeting, it is incum bent upon the Chartists of Bath to take a prominent part in the coming election ; and to secure, if possible, the return of such representatives as will labour most industriously to advance the cause of &mocracy. 2. That in the opinion of this meeting, all the candidates soliciting the suffrages of the electors of Bath, shall be waited on by the Chartist Council, and examined upon the measures they will support in Parliament. 3. That the Chartists at present assembled, recommend their brethren at Bath to discountenance all acts of bribery and corruption ; and call upon them not to yield to influence or intimidation. T 1E SUN, LONDON, SATURN AY, MAY 29, lBll. EXETER. MAY 27. —Mr. Divett paid us a flying visit yesterday, and leaves by the mail to-day. Sir T homas Acland is also down. 1 Every thing here wears a very feverish aspect ; but the Tories have not yet brought forward a man for this city. We still consider Mr. Divett's seat safe, and in the growing confidence of the movement, about which there can be no mistake. We begin to talk of a second man on our side, if Sir William Follett's nervous friends will have it so. Mr. Jardio, a china merchant, has just completed a most triumphant canvass of Ashburton, and has gone up by to-day's mail. The borough was represented by Mr. Lushington (brother of the Doctor) and it will now pass into the hands of as good a Reformer. The Reformers called a meeting at Torquay in support of the Government. They first intended to hold it in the open air, but were induced to abandon that in consequence of the resistance of the Tories. But the latter, trying to steal a march upon them, the Reformers then withdraw to the open air, and carried all their resolutions triumphantly. The tenor of the resolutions was decided in unqualified approbation of the Government and its measures, and unequivocal hatred of the Tories. Sir Charles Ekins presided, and the chief speak ers were Messrs. Garrocs, Vivian, Mark Philips, W. Clarke, jun., W. Prowse, and Captain Field—men repreenting all sec tions of the Liberal interest. GREECE. ATHENS, MAY 10.-It is well now and then to remind rulers of their promises and their engagements to their sub jects; their memories are apt to be treacherous—and none arc so wilfully forgetful as King Otho. Unluckily, however, for his wish to drown the past in oblivion, there exists a small book, entitled '° Recucil des Pieces, Actes, et Traites concer flans la fondation de la Royaute en Grece," which was pub lished in 1833, at Nauplia. It contains two most important documents—the one, a letter from Baron Gise, Bavarian Mi nister for Foreign Affairs, to the Greek Secretary for Foreign Affairs, dated Munich, the 31st July, 1832—nine long years ago, in which is found the following paragraph : " One of the first cares of the Royal Regency appointed to govern the kingdom during the Sovereign's minority will be to convoke a general assembly of the nation to receive the monarch, to offer to him the homage of the devotion of Greece, to cement its union with the Prince who is about to preside over its destinies. This assembly is charged to work with the regency to prepare the definitive constitution of the State, which being established by the free concurrence of the nation and its Sovereign, will without doubt accomplish its wants, its wishes, and its interests." The other document is the proclamat ion of the Allied Powers, announcing their choice of King Otho, and is signed on the 30th August. 1832, by Palmerston, 'l'alloyrand, I.ieven, Ma tuszewic. The last paragraph calls on the Greeks to—" Sur round your new Sovereign with your gratitude and )our affection. Faithful subjects ! rally round his throne, ass:st him with a just devotion in the task of giving a definitive constitution to the State, and to assure to it the double advantages of peace without, of tranquillity. the reign of the laws, and of order within. This is the only recompence that the Three Powers demand for the ser vices they have had an opportunity of doing for you." These are solemn pledges, and the Allies are bound to see them ful filled. England alone has tried to make King Otho respect the just rights of the people, but hitherto in vain ! Publication is the only means of benefiting this country, and the people in this capital are deeply thankful to you for the remarks in your paper. They look to the English press provoking an inquiry into Otho's misrule, blackened as it is by tortures, poisonings, and the slave trade. Tzinos, the familiar of King Otho, has been accused before the Courts here for his horrible practices ; but no condemnation can be obtained. It seems strange that there is no intention whatever of changing the system on the arrival of Mavrocordato, but it remains to be seen whether the powers of Europe, who are now fully aware of the truth of what the British Go vernment has been declaring for the last three years, will allow a nation to be sacrificed to the headstrong will of one foreigner, who, like a dog in a manger, will not distribute the national lands, which he cannot cultivate himself, and give the people occupation and the means of a livelihood at home; but keeps them in a state of poverty and uncertainty which makes them ever ready to abet all his insane projects of aggrandisement. For, as if it were not sufficient that King Otho's domestic policy, day after day, should find work for all the foreign offices of Europe, he must needs now take it into his head that the time is come for distinguishing himself by foreign conquest; and as the best means of compassing this, he allows the disaffected of the neighbouring provinces of Turkey and the lonian Islands to establph regularly organized committees in Athens. These allies of King Otho have already succeeded in bringing matters to a crisis in Candia ; an insurrec tion, if not already broken out in Thessaly, is certainly on the point of doing so on a most extensive scale; and although it is true that the lonian Government has shown King Otho that he cannot yet do as he pleases in those possessions, it is no less certain that Count Roma and Sir Denis Bulzo are now living at Athens, and that they are in constant anti secret communica tion with the King. About the time that this reaches London, M. Tricoupi will be making his second debut at the British Court, but under very different auspices to those which attended his career on his former mission. On making his bow to her Majesty, he must, if he has one spark of truth in his com position, address her as follows :—"May it please your Majesty, my Royal Master sends me to your Court to repre sent the Bavarians in Greece, a task which I have under taken to do to the best of my abilities, assisted by Monsieur Roque, my Secretary of Legation. My Royal Master be lieves that I shall, in a very short time, succeed in per suading the British Government that black is white, espe cially as relates to the blacks found on board the Greek slaver seized at Cephalonia. He is also of opinion that it will be easy for me to convince your Majesty's Government that the Greeks are not fit for a Constitution, especially as 1 was believed when I firmly asserted the contrary during my last mission to your Court. My Royal master, moreover, thinks, that on my stating to your Majesty the extreme incon venience he experiences from the presence in Greece of your Majesty's representative, Sir Edmund Lyons, whose eyes he cannot open to a sense of his good government, your Majesty will be graciously pleased to recal that Minister in disgrace. His Hellenie Majesty, to enable me to support the dignity of his throne, and having learnt from me that nothing can be done in England without a good dinner, has granted me a sum of 3001., with which I have undertaken to feast the corps diplo inatiquc, Ministers of State, the Houses of Parliament, and Aldermen of the City." Sir Howard Douglas is at present on a visit to Sir Edmund Lyons. Their Hellenic Majesties and the Crown Prince Maxiinil'an leave this shortly, on a tour in the Morea ; after which the Queen will proceed to Munich and 01- denburgh. IRELAND.-GENERAL ELECTION' The question now for Irishmen to consider is, whether they will pass under the Caudine Forks, and surrender the liberty they have achieved to their avowed and deter mined enemies. A change of administration in England would be a mighty grievanee. To Ireland it would be destructive. This all feel, and, accordingly, we are all prepared for the struggle. We repeat it deliberately, we shall not only hold our own, but add considerably to our numerical strength. Unfortunate Colonel Bruen. notwithstanding all his sacrifices of money and temper, will lose the caunty of Carlow, and no mistake. He knows it, and though he may screw his courage to the sticking place, he will go to the hustings with the feelings of a losing gambler. Indeed, he has already gambled a very good fortune on Carlow. heaven be merciful to him ! Colonel Thomas, it is understood, has already sounded his retreat from Kinsale. Five or six thousand pounds is enough to throw even at such a beautiful borough as Kinsale. Emerson Tennent—our old friend Fuscus Amyntas— has got tired of Belfast, we hear, or, what is more likely, Belfast has got tired of Emerson Tennent. lie cannot —even if he was in funds—stand another brush. With regard to Mr. Dunbar, we imagime that gentleman will find, on comparing notes, that he has little chance for Belfast, "at the present momentous crisis." If Ned Litton should be mad enough again tc stand for Coleraine, he must post the coals to some purpose, that we can tell him. lie is not yet—nor is it likely he ever will be—Solicitor -General. And this puts us in mind of the Sorry Sergeant. Ban don has been kind to him—but he has done nothing for Bandon. It is true he only went into Parliament to work for hiuiself ; but though he did work and sweat, he has dnne nothing. It is possible, however, that he will try his luck again. In for a penny in for a pound. At all events, he will not be permitted to walk over the course. Purtarlington will be fought for, and Mr. Dawson Darner will have to resign. lie had no business at all to go Into Parliament as a Tory. Ile was a sort of Li beral in former times, and we were willing to take him. —Dublin Evening Post. TIIE NAT l ONAL CRISIS. The present is not be considered as merely a Ministe rial crisis, as the customary changing from Tory to Whig, or from Whig back to Tory—though the existence of the Whig Government may be involved in it—but as a national epoch ; as the first authoritative acknowledg ment, by the Sovereign and her Ministers, of the great principle that there is no longer to be protection of any one class at the price of injustice to all the other classes. This; at least, is the light in which we would fain view the measures proposed by the Ministers ; narrow, and perhaps imperfect, in their actual being, but pointing to mighty results. It is peCuliarly . satisfactory to Radical Reformers to be able to say, once in seven years, that their old friends and allies the Whigs, have really done something to redeem their character,—that they have." deserved well of their country." They have shown, at the eleventh hour, that which, though a tardy, looks like a genuine conversion, since it is displayed in an amendment of conduct. The precise date of any political conversion is generally of tri vial importance in itself, and the motives of public men, placed in embarrassing circumstances, will hardly ever bear to be too nicely scrutinised. Let their- deeds speak for them. The Ministers have not advanced -far ; that was perhaps impracticable, if they wished - to carry any imposing force along with them ; but they have moved in the right direction, under the now fairly unfurled banner of Free Trade, and in the strength of a good cause. They have offered the country a fair oppor tunity of getting rid of some of to most galling and per nicious imposts that ever indirectly crippled the energies, and directly robbed a people. They have made a formal assault upon the most oppressive and severely felt of those monopolies which plunder the wealthy and starve the poor—namely, the Bread-tax and the Sugar-tax. The first duty of the people is energetically to seize and im prove the occasion offered—to be up and to be doing ! Tait's Magazine.

HANOVER, MAY 19.—That the separation of Brunswick will cause a considerab l e loss to our revenue is now confessed even by those who before deded it, and also that this loss will be particularly felt just now on account of the increase of our military establishment ; it is, however, af firmed that it will not be necessary to increase the taxes. The surplus of the indirect taxes, which in 1835 was estimated at 140,000 dollars, is at least between 600,C00 and 800,000 dollars. FRONTIER OP ITALY, MAY 15.—Joseph Bonaparte, who has obtained permission to reside in Genoa, has hired there a splendid palace, which many persons apprehend will become the rendezvous of all the adherents of the Bona parte party. LAW INTELLIGENCE COURT OF QUEENS BENCH, May 28. • - The Court disposed of several cases from the new trial,paper this morning, but none of them contained any matter of public tnterest. CLARIDGE V. LATRADE. This was an action for the infringement of a patent for preparing asphalte pavement. The case was tried before Lord Denman at the last London sittings, and a verdict was had for the plaintiff. A rule for setting aside the verdict on the ground of its being against evidence was subsequently obtained. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL was now heard in support of the rule. The ground on which the present rule was obtained turned upon a proviso in the letters patent, by which it was stipulated that if at any future time the privileges and benefits conferred by the patent were vested in any numbers ofpersons amounting to 12 for their use and benefit, then all the benefits and privileges conferred by these letters patent should cease, determine, and be void. The Learned Counsel contended that the patent having been sold by Mr. Claridge to a Company, the proviso must be considered as in operation, and conse quently the patent right no longer exit d. Sir F. PoLLocic was heard on the other side, and at the close of the arguments of the Counsel, the Court sug gested that it had better be turned into a special case for the consideration of the Court. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, May 28. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. MOULINI. Our readers will recollect that this was an information against the defendant for importing foreign watches, evading the duty. It was tried before Lord Abinger at the sittings after last term, when a verdict was found for the Crown. Mr. EARLE, for the defendant, this morning produced an affidavit setting forth that the duty had been p id upon all the watches in question, and a rule nisi for a new trial was granted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A man of respectable appearance, named John Thomas Earl, was brought up in the custody of Daniel Forrester, the officer, charged with having forged a power of at torney for stock to the amount of 2551. 15s. 6d. consols. Mr. John Harman stated that the prisoner was co trustee with him in the sum of 1,023/. 2s. 2d. Consols, which stood in their joint names, and which belonged to the children of the prisoner's marriage with witness's sister, and was payable to them on their arriving at the age of 21 years, but of which the prisoner received the dividends during their minority for their support. Wit ness never authorised the prisoner to bespeak any power of attorney for transferring any part of the stock, and the instrument, dated 17th of May, was not executed by witness, and the signature, " John Harman," was a fur gery. The signature to the demand to act at the back of the power of attorney was in the handwriting of the prisoner. Mr. John Henry Spurling, stock-broker, of Capel court, stated that on Friday, the 14th May, the prisoner, whom he knew at Peckham, came to his house at seven o'clock in the evening, and said he wanted a power of attorney to sell the fourth part of 1,023/. 2s. 2d. Con sols, oft which he produced two stock receipts. Witness said that he would bespeak it at the Bank. The pri soner stated that he must take the power of attorney to Grove-lane, Camberwell, for Mr. Harman to execute ; adding, that that gentleman was mentioned in the Bank books as off Nelson-square or Bennet-street, Blackfriars, gentleman, or solicitor, he did not know which, and was unwell ; and he (the prisoner) must take this person to him. Witness told him that the Bank was very particular about the execution and attestation, and he said that he would call for it next day, or Monday, at witness's office. Witness said that it could not be got out till Saturday, and he would leave it at the pri soner's house on the afternoon of that day as he came home. Witness bespoke the power, and took it to the prisoner, but perceiving the name on the door, noticed that the power was made out in the name of, Earle, whereas the real name was Earl, and said he must get it altered at the Bank. The prisoner called on Monday, and witness gave him the blank power to get executed, telling him the parties must attend to the printed instructions. On Tuesday last the prisoner called at witness's house, and left the power of attorney, which witness found on his table in the morning. Witness sent for the prisoner on Wednesday morning, and said he was surprised that Mr. Harman had not added to his description the circumstance of his having formerly re sided in Bennet-street, Blackfriars. The prisoner said that he would take the power to Mr. !Harman, and get him to make the addition, and he took the power away. Witness saw the power on the same day at his office in the hands of his son. The prisoner called on the following day, and said that he came to transfer the stock. Witness said the power was not passed at the Bank, and hel presumed there was a difference iii Mr. Harman's handwriting. The prisoner then sat down, and asked him how long the delay might be, to which he replied that it might be till two or half-past two. The prisoner then sat down for a few minutes, after which he rose and said he would go out for a little while, and he did so, but he never returned. Mr. Percival, speaking low to the last witness, stated that the prisoner brought the power of attorney on Wed nesday, the 19th of May, to the counting-house, and asked if it would do. Witness said that if he would call next day at one o'clock the transfer would be ready for him, upon which he observed that he hoped it would be all right, for if not he would have to put the parties off, and he then went away. Daniel Forrester stated that he took the prisoner into custody at a late hour in the night, near his house, Peckham. The prisoner was committed for trial. John Lambert, a cab-driver, was charged by a lady, of the name of Yates, under the following circumstances : Mr. Yates engaged the prisoner in the City to drive her to Bermondsey Church. Soon after she got out she missed her bag, which she had forgotten in the cab, and which contained three 101. notes, eight sovereigns and a half, and some silver ; and she immediately went after the prisoner, who stated, in answer to the inquiries made of him, that he remembered the lady, but knew nothing of the bag ; and that the moment she left him a gentleman got into the cab, and ordered him to drive to Finch-lane. City policeman, No. 615, stated that the prisoner men tioned to him that he thought he could find the property of the lady, and afterwards said that all they could do to him was to transport him. He gave witness a false address also, and it was ascertained that he was living with a woman, who had, since the pro perty was lost, absconded. The prisoner denied that he knew anything about the property which had been lost, and was remanded till Saturday. Several persons having recently been brought up charged with drunkenness, who stated that they had been overcome by tasting wines in the docks, Alderman Pirie said he thought it would be very useful to give a hint to the wine merchants who had wines warehoused, particularly in the London Docks, to exercise caution as to the individuals to whom they gave tasting orders, as the mischief done by numbers who went in upon authority of this kind must be enormous. It was but three days ago three persons who were found lying in the street were charged with beastly intoxica tion, and they said that they had accompanied a friend who wanted to buy wine, and wished to have their judg ment, and that between the taste and the smell, they got completely flummoxed. The Alderman hoped that aneye would be kept on these wine tasters. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE. WHITEHALL, MAY 25. 1841.

THE HALIFAX AND BOSTON STEAMERS- While referring to the extension of steam navigation, we may mention one most encouraging fact. Under the old packet system, between Falmouth and Halifax, by the gun brigs, the expense to Government was about 40,0001. annually more than the receipts of postage. By the line of Cunard's steam-ships, a balance of 20,0001. appears al ready to the credit side of the Atlantic mails. The indo mitable spirit of British enterprise never had a better or more patriotic representative than Mr. ennard. Tie not only boldly and simply entered into a contract with the Government to build four steam-ships of 1,200 tons, and Ivith engines of 300 horses' power each, to run across the Atlantic to British North America, once a fortnight, but lie has more than fulfilled his hazardous engagement. His fine vessels have. brought one of our most valuable depen dencies within 1 . 2 days' distance front the mother country, and that with unerring regularity. The punctual success of the Cunard steam-ships is owing, in a great measure, -to the .construction ; being far stronger, in respect to timber,.planks, and fastening, than is usual in of equal size. The strength of construction ren ders the working of the powerful engines perfectly safe in combating the resistance of • the most tempestuous weather. Not only are these vessels built much stronger than the usually required strength, but the engines placed in them exceed the power contracted for, being not 300, but 440 horses' power. The fiscal success of these packets ought, we think, to induce the Government to extend the communication, by enlarging Mr. Cunard's contract, so that he could increase his steam fleet, and despatch a packet from Liverpool to Halifitx and Boston once a week during the eight spring, summ e r, an d autumna l months, and once a fortnight during the winter months. By such an arrangement, not only would the post-office -gain -in revenue, and Mr. Cunard be amply remunerated, but this frequent intercourse would form a rapid line of communication between the whole of Europe and all North America, including every country from the Gulf of Mexico to Lake Superior.—London Journal ej Commerce BODY FOUND IN TILE RlVER.—Yesterday morning about eight, a body was discovered by the policeman on duty floating up the river with the tide off Blackfriars-bridge. An alarm was raised, and two watermen put off and draeged the body on shore at Barge-house Stairs, between Blackfriars and Waterloo bridges, where a shell was procured, and it was con ' veyed to the bone-house, Christchurch Workhouse, where, on searching it, 4s. in silver, a pen-knife. and a silk pocket hand kerchief were found, but nothing which could lead to its iden tification. The deceased appears about 5 feet 7 sr 8 inches high, rather stout made, dark hair and eyes, and age about 26. He had on a green dress-coat with yellow buttons, silk waistcoat, and trowsers, wellington-bools, and a black silk stock, in which was a union or double gold pin. There is a large bruise on the right temple, but this might have been caused by the drifting of the body against some of the numerous barges in the river. We understand that a requisition from the working classes of Manchester to the Mayor, to call an open air meeting on the Corn-law, has in three days received 5,300 s gnatures. This is a proof, of the falsehood of the as sertion. that th e masses ar e , indifferent to the question of questions. It is expected that the meeting will be more numerous than any that has taken place in the town since the great Radical and Anti-Corn•law demonstratiou on the 16th of August, 1819, COLONIAL MARKET.
