EVENING EDITION their medical man was endeavouring to establish a different d:etary fr en that which was allowed, the House f might well he justified on this occasion in hesitating to take. it r granted, upon ;he authority of the unsupported case. of the Honourable Member, that bodies of gentlemen, acting as Boards of Guar dians, would come to a vote to refuse to pauper patients that medical relief which was ordered by a medical man in whom they confided." His Lordship did not perceive that, in his anxiety to overtop Lord John Russell (who was borne out by the occasion) in an attack on the Honourable Member far Finsbury, he was passing the most severe condemnation on the hearth of guardians. They are not entitled to retain medical of eters in whom they do not confide, far that would be to proclaim that they were regardless of the Eves of the poor under their care. They are bound to dismiss a medical officer the moment they are satisfied he either nealects or is unfit for his duty. But so long as trey rs twin him, his prescriptions ought not to be counter tsanded. The guardians cannot be judges of the treatment ',.which a patient reay require ; and if by ill-judged regulations thi7 interfere with the duty of the - medical officer, and death enaties in consequence, we hold the guardians to be the cause of that death. Lord Howick would seem to th nk that an union could no more get rid o:a medical officer, than the nation of a lord ; that as far as bleidin , or phraing goes the poor are for ever at his dis cretion ; and that' all the d'scretionary.yower of the guardians is co:dined to the preventing dabilltatect patients from receiving anything nutritines. We are astonished chat so sensible a man as Mr. Grote should vindicate the boards of guardians in the cases adduced. They were clearly in the'wrong. The beards of guardians meet at intervals of a greater or less duration ; some tin- C 3 many days intervene between their sittings. But a pa tient may require instantly that. v. ry relief to which by their regulations their consent is necessary. " A dead man is but a dead man," says a character in Mo:iere, " but rules are every thing." Fo say the. Uxbridee and Nottingham guardians. 'Whether, therefore, the guardians' make a regulation that their censent - shall be necessary for the, allowance of certain prescriptions, or directly interfere nod say that certain pre scr:ptions shad not be allowed, they invade the functions of a responsible officer. Thee are the exc , pt ions to the rule. We have no d .übt that boards of gua thane in general act with the liberality deecriked by Mr. Ward, aed are not guilty of fhe I f .11y of tlmpering with the treatment tham ohserved that - there was no satisf l irea the Legislature that they dist not know how to make shoes betterthan a shoemaker; and Mr. Crate, by way of comment, tells us that every farmer or sho a keeper of a board of guardians can tell better than the physic an when draetics or stimulants should be given to a patient. The Times of this m . orning, reverting again to the question of the New Poor-law, remarks as follows :—" At this moment, it must be evident to every man that the Commissioners of the Poor-law have r.o hope left, except in the sufferance of Sir R. Peel ; a word from him would seal the fate of Lord J. Rus sell's Bill, and we will nture to say if that word were uttered, it would be received with acclamation. The country longs for it ' —demands it—expects it; the Conservative Members, as a body, desire it with restless impatience; the humane and in depends.nt s..etion of the Liberal pat ty would echo it back with joy. A great opportunity is in Sir ltobert Peel's hands, and if he neglects to use it, a great responsibility wilt lie on him." The Morning Post thus expresses itself on the subject of Mr. Lelmuchere's proposed colonial trade arrangements : " As the circumstances of our foreign and colonial commerce are so very va-iable and ununiffirm, any general system, whether of free trade or restriction, must be unwise. We hope Mr. Labouchere will, pause and well consider the prob Ale practical effects of his propased colenial arrangements in respectof trade - before he iroceeds with a system whicli e li . .s 'as yet done no - good." . - The Morning Heraid, speaking of the Poor-law, says :-- WhethQr it be that the worship of Mammon has become an inretcratc epidemic . among all classes of Biitish satiety, or from what oth er or more hidden cause, we cannot tel!, but the pulsations of chavi able emotion seem, from day to day',to grow fe,Aler in Blitish hearts in high piaces, as the New Poor-law w:th all its horrors is rendered familiar to the public,contern yl,tina. An e:;grossing, incre-7s:ng. impracticable selfishness, seems to accumulate, on this stagnation of hol r feelings, like an iceberg that has floated beyond the influences of those warm and active currents which could alone prevent its expansion in bulk and depth and frozen solidity."

" ilitc4sEns; lIIARCH 19: =The • Ministerial crisis has not come to anrsolution.. The King, on receiving, yesterday, the adds en from the Senate, made two answers to the rePresenta . fives of the noble Assembly, —or, at least, the President of the Senate read- , to that assembly one reply, and, in the evening, the Independant (the Court Journal) addressed another to the Brnstels presS. The first of these answers runs as,follows • " I receive, gentlemen, the address from the Senate. I will examine it. I never doubted its good intentions. ' Cd m _ posed as it is of persons representing all the interests of the country, it must be - quite able to appreciate its necessities.'. " '1 he seem', the official answer, is still shorter and drier:— , . I `receive the address hove the Senate. I . never doubted its goodlntentionr. will examine * the ad•lress with :attention.' • "It is generally . admitted, even by the &mate, that tie first version -is the, right ore. At all events, when 'the Presi... dent communicated it to the noble a , sernblv, no objectiOn wa's raised., -At present. the error is explained by the President 7 having confused the ocial words ernitloyed by . the King with • some expresion of a rivale conversation which followed the pr.sentation of the Address. L i " Howeuer ths tray be, the King is oblged to reflect. This morning, at nine, the .1I roisters proceeded in a body to the Pa-. lace t.t tender their r. signati , m, unless he should think pro;•er told - solve; not only the Senate, but the two Chambers. It is stated that no immediate answer, was given, and the gene-al opinion is; thht Leopold was aware of the plot formed in the ' Senate against the Alini-ters be!'ere they were themselves. The present Ministry, which is wrongly called a Liberal Ministry, and which is but a doctrinaire Cabinet, was little liked try the country, but the manner in whieh it has been ; at taicl:T, , f at tacked its enemies. has almost rendered it popular. The this Cabinet are Messieurs Lebeari and Itogier, and their most active lieutenant out of the pale of the Ministry is • Dcvaux, one ( f • the cleverest men in the kingdom; who make;' ;3• nut wishing to become one, and who, when the revO.utiorlthof MeSsieurs Lebeau and Roger,eptember occurred, was along with one th , one of the directors of the Po- Gagne-of Liege, of party, or 'catholico-liberal Perift- !-tipal organs of the German coalition which then overthrew King William, at,d which, h'tv. remained master of the structionforofofaintelg7 Orangist party, has now c. untry by the de vitt into parties fighting ( "a d nct which unfortunately the two Chambers. for fir! country are pretty equal "'fare c;.:ll^agu. of Mess:s.

The same may be said of General litizen, Minister of War, a man aecorffing to the King's heart, especial on account a his mania of Germanizing, as much as he possibly can, the -• Belgian army. The Minister' of Finance, AI. Mercier, is a • statesman of little note, but he is notorious for his behavitiur towat ds the Minister who preceded him in office, and. under • whom he was empoy l t ---,et., and against whom h e voted in a Cabinet question, after having previously advised him not to • yield. • This bt haviour has rendered him, and with reason, obnoxious to the Catholic party. Messrs. Mercer, Lebeau, and Itogier, form, therefe,re, the triumvirate, against which the aclverse party directs all its hostility. • A transaction might have taken place with Messrs. Liedtz, Leclerc, and I3uzen; and perhaps these gentlemen would riot have waited far the first offer if the march of events had not otherwise ordained. Right or wrong, the King is supposed to entertain a personal . - antipathy f ur Messrs Lebeau and ; and this supposition has e , e ',unarted the attack made against them, and .has given rise to the opinion prevalent that the late sortie of the Senate against theAlinis;e e rs . surprised his Majesty less than many be lieve4tto have don • 6 explai n the situation of the country, it is necessary to - state, that the soi-disant liberal party, which, after the.revo ' listion of Septeroberow as ready to fling, itself, into.the arms of • France, is now the en party.

" In the last attacks against the Cabinet, and in the address itself, the adversaries professing the prineiile of the union, demanded that ail parties and interests should be represented in the Ministry. hew can a Ministry of this nature be formed now when so much irritation prevails?

CANDLISH AND THE KIRK This Rev. Gentleman_bas addressed a letter to the Marquis Of Normanbv on the subject of canceliirg his appointment to the Chair oeßiblical Criticism ;n the University of Edinburgh, in which he contends that the interdict of the- Court of Session had no application to the duty he: was called upon by the Church to perform in the-parish of Huntly.- Lord Normanby has briefly replied to the latter in these words:— . Whitehall, March 16 1841 Sir,—You will hardly expect that I should be prepared to make any reply to yourself personally on the most important matters on which you have urged your own views with so much earnestness, and I should have, therefore, confined the acknow ledgment of the receipt of Your letter upon the present occa sion to the assurance that whatever course my sense of duty -- may hereafter induce me to adopt, under the circumstances in which your recent proceedings have placed you, I am still dis. posrd to think that, on the ground of pers nal qitalifications, the appointment in question would be one likely to reflect credit on the Government. But I cannot permit you to re main in the error under which you appear to be labouring, when you state, "I took no step until 1 received notice from the agents of the Church in London, to the effect that a cam munication had been intimated to them that my appointment to the deanery, which was to be conferred along with the professorship, had actually talc n place, and that it was necessary merely to have it extracted in due form. lam ignorant of the usual practice in such cases, and I may have erred in concluding prematurely that the matter was definitively fixed. At the same time I am given to understand that had the agents for the Church, instead of ccirre,ponding with me, proceeded at once to act upon the message from the Home-office, the deed might - hare been beyond recall." Whatever preparatory documents may haie been in progress, it was perfectly understood that the appointment had not actually taken place—that all was con tingent upon my final decision ; and, therefore, no communica tion haft been made to you, nor could there be any authorised notification to arty party until her Majezty's pleasure had been taken upon the recommendation of her responsible adviser. Whatever passed between a clerk in the cffice and the agents in the church could not have had the effect y♦ou suppose of plac ing the deed beyond recall. I have. &c., The Rev. R. S. Candlish. NORMANBY. CHURCH-RATES. TO THE EDITOR. OF THF,' SUE. _ SlR—This'day between twenty arid thirty pers,ns appeared to summonses for the non-payment of a Church-rate. Most of the indiiiduals are Dissenters, and have legal and religious objections to the rate. The legal grounds of objection are 1. The original Notice, which, as fixed upon the Parish Church-door, convenes the meeting for granting a' rate, was not, and could not be produced. 2. That the notices 'convening the parish were not affixed to all the clods of the different churches, as required by 1 Vic. 45. S. That no estimate was produced at the meeting for grant ing the rate, though it was asked for. • 4. 7 hat the rate was asked for, :and' has been - applied to other churches than for the use of the Parish Church. 5. 7 hat Lord Wartti Town' Hall and the Tory Library, and other property, has not been included in the rate.

COMMIS'sION OF LUNACY. Monday a Commission of Lunacy was opened befare Com mis:ione"rs Witisrow, Blount, and Murray, and a jury of sixteen freeholders of the county, at • the Gray's Inn CC4fee-house, Holborn, to inquire into the state of mind of John Tu rner , Esq., of No. 13, Huntley - street , Bedford-square. Mr. G. A. Young attended es Counsel in support 'of the Commission, and Mr. Boteler to watch the proceedings 'on behalf of Mr. Turner. _ _ VI,A. .... ... Mr: Commissioner Wilistow charged the Jury. Mi. YOUNG then observed that Mr. Turner's intellects had become impaired in consequence of the advanced age which he had attained.' Mr. Turner was now newly eighty-seven years -of -ar , -e , and , so-long ago as the year 1780 he was a ch•rk in the. Ordnance, and the Private ,Secretary of Sir Challes Frederick, who was one of the Ministers of the day. In 1786 Mr. Turner accepted an appointment in the Sun Fire-office, where he remained up to 1823, discharging his duties with honour to himself and satisfaction to his employers, as was abundantly testified by their giving him a retiring allow ance when he left the of f ice. Mr. '1 urner, it appeared, was Worth considerable property,-having a balance of 22,0001. in the hands of. Messrs. Coutts, the bankers, and also a sum of 10,0001. 13ing idle at Messrs. Drummond's. In addition to this he possessed large leasehold property and London Dock t stock, besides having several sums of considerable amount hdat no o he laid o u t i n var i ous ways upon o th er secur i t i es.

Dr, Munroe had visited Mr. Turner four times, and was per-uaded that his mind was decided l y unsound. 'i he COMM thenISSIONERS en expressed a wish to see Mr. Turner, and he was led into the ro.m. In appearance he is a remarkably fine, healthy-looking old gentleman, considering his advanced age; and, upon being quessioned by the Learned Commissioners, , he gave ready, and, in some instances, witty answers ; but it was quite evident the unfortunate gentleman's mind was worn out. Ihe Jury stopped the examination, and, after Mr. Turner ha. , l left the room, they found that he was of unsound mind, and was incapable of managing himself or his property, and that he had been so since the Ist of July, 1840. Among his papers has been found a kind of testamentary do cument, the legality of which is doubtful; and, in the event of its beingpronounced invalid, the wh'ole of his property, amount ing to upwards of 50,0001. will pass to the Crown.

A similar, though not an equally decisive itrgument, may be drawn from the seve ral relaXations which have been • made in our commercial system during the last twenty years. For example, the successive opening of the trade to India, from a very strict monopoly in the hands of the East India Company, in 1814, to complete freedom, except as to certain import duties,. was followed by an increase of that trade from less than 2,000,0002, sterling in 1815, to very nearly 6,000,0001. sterling in 1839. In like man ner from 1815 to 1826, successive relaxations were made in our navigation laws, and with those relaxations at the end of twenty years the in crease of our shipping entered inwards and outwards, was in th e proport i on o f 30 to 13, or two-fold and one-third. • Again, in 1824, some of the restrictions, not all, were removed from our silk trade, and since then the trade has increased threefold, so that we have now become exporters of manufactured silk to some extent to France. Similar facts are true of the linen trade, of wool, of coffee, and various other articles, en all of which restrictions were removed or duties lowered, and•in . all of which a g of consuniption, and of w r e e l a l- t b i e nza l s v e e i o .e f trade,the results. ts. In most of these cases the opponents of free trade and the friends of restrictions prophesied the most disastrous consequences from the re moval ofrcstrictions, and in all, without exception, they were mistaken. At the same time not a single example, it is believed, can be brought forward in which the removal of restrictions or the lowering of duties has had the- effect of lessening trade, or causing anything worse—and that generally from over excitement and over speculation—than a very temporary injury to some few classes. It is not therefore because statistics, so far as they go, are not completely in favour of free trade, that we say that it is a ques tion more of principles than facts, but because. the statistics themselves require to, be explained, and sometimes rectified, by moral considerations to make them safe and sure guides. The trade of England, we admit----with the ac cursed bread tax, the abominable discriminating timber duties, the scandalous impost on sugar, levied to enrich, not the State, but the West India planters—is much hampered and much restricted; yet, compared to France or Ger many, England is a prosperous and flourish ing nation. If we look at the increase of her trade in conjunction with th; S 3 restrictions, the conclusion formed is—which was Sir ROBERT PEEL'S argument—that they do not injure trade, and therefore they are to be con tinued. " Show me," he said, in substance, " that trade is declining, and I will listen to your prayers for a repeal of the Corn-laws; but while I see that the shipping is yearly increasing —that cotton factories are building—that the exports of cotton yarn are increasing, I cannot place any confidence in your complaints, and I shall maintain the Corn-law, because I am con vinced it does not, as say, injure trade." The truth, of course, is, that the increase took place in spite of those restrictions—that the healthy and ever-willing spring of industry was strong enough to rise against them—that the natural desire in men to improve their condition, and the natural tendency of population to increase, are so all-powerful, that they overcome even the landlord's tax, though that has been a hea vier curse on the community than any barreness in the soil, or than war and pestilence united. The truth is, that the effect of those changes we have referred to is not at an end, and the restrictions continued have been, in reality, rendered bareable, and have been saved, by the prosperity caused by the removal of those which have been abolished. Unless we form, then, a tolerably correct idea of the natural increase of nations, and of the bkeficial care with which nature has provided for their sustenance, we cannot reach correct conclusions as to the enormous evil of com mercial restrictions. It has, however, been undeniably proved, that population has a natural tendency to double itself every twenty-three years, and with that doubling there must be, to preserve the people in the same relative degree of prosperity, a doubling of the whole food, trade, and wealth of the country. But Great Blitain at present makes no such progress. Ifshe did, all classes would be pros perous, and there would be marrying and giving in marriage, children would be welcomed as bleSsings, and festivity and heart-rejoicing would prevail throughout the land. But why does not Great Britain make this progress? Her terri tory, is not bounded,—at least its limits are not known. Our people are better provided with land even than the inhabitants of the United States,. for they are as free to settle there as the natives of New York, and they have at their ex elusive service the great southern continent, the noble south of Africa, and the northern part of America. The reason why our people do not increase faster even than the inhabitants of the United States, and why they do not, as they in crease, double their prosperity, is. they are not al lowed. The paternal law-giver, thinking himself wiserthan GOD, prohibits them. Restrictions are laid on supplying themselves with necessaries and luxuries. Impediments are thrown in the way of their emigrating. The land at the South Pole even is seized by the landowners or their agent the Government, and a price exacted for reclaim ing it from barrenness. In short, the reason why the great prosperity for which nature provides such ample means is not realized is, that restric tions—unwise, ill-judged restrictions—are laid, by those who know nothing about trade, and who never labour except to do mischief, on the en lightened industry and trade of the people. At the same time, though we are hampered with many restrictions, we are not quite so much restricted by law as the less prosperous people of the Continent. Our command of the empire of the sea is a natural freedom, opening up to us the whole world, of which it has been impossible for the landlords wholly to deprive us. With that our people are more free to go and come than most ofthe passport-cursed, police -notched slaves ofthe Continent. A series ofpeace Cul circumstances, such as the growth and rapid extension of many new trades amongst us, and the great extension of division of labour, has liberated internal traffic from many of the restraints of guilds, corpora tions, and apprentice-laws, and has effected for us what the French tried, but without success, to ef fect by a Moody revolution. In France the Imperial Government partly succeeded to the privileges of the guilds, and there, as well as throughout the Continent, almost every trader must have a license, and the Government exercises a kind of control Mkr every branch of business, from which our people are happily free. Here there are 24,000,000 persons, who have, with the ex ception of bank monopolies, bread-taxes, and a few other stilly preserved monstrosities, a complete freedom of traffic. Such a great number ofhuman beings freely exchanging the produce of their varied industry one with another, never, we believe, before existed in the world, and certainly nowhere else now exists. This internal freedom, continued with our comparative freedom to go and come, is the cause of that greater prosperity which distinguishes England above the nations of the Continent. She owes that, therefore, to her comparative freedom, and she suffers those numerous privations which are felt by every class of her people, from Corn-laws and other similar restrictions preventing that increase of population which is the soul of national pros dete free trade greatness, and the want of co m p pros perity. Partial free trade is the source of our the source of our distress. That is an important truth, which statistics confirm, but which they of themselves can hardly teach. We stated in The Sun of yesterday, on the authority of private letters from Paris, that France had agreed to sign the last London Pro tocol, and to resume her seat in the Cabinet Councils of Europe on certain conditions, which were frankly agreed to by Lord PALMERSTON. These were :—firstly, that the Porte should mo dify the Firman conferring upon MEHEMET Au the Pachalic of Egypt, more especially as regards the line of succession; secondly, that the Straits of the Bosphorus and the *Dardanelles should be Open to all merchant vessels, and closed to all ships of war whatsoever; which were followed by some minor points, among which was under- I stood to be implied the recal of Lord PONSONDY from Constantinople. As the answer of the Porte to the representation of the Four Powers demanding a modification of the firman, has not yet been received, France reserves the affixing her signature to the protocol till it has been officially commupicated to the London Con ference. The French Cabinet Council at which this wise and dignified resolution .was taken, was presided over by the KING, who has the great est reason to congratulate himself for having had the courage, at a time of such popular clamour and frantic excitement, to call such a cool headed and far-seeing statesman as M. GUIZOT to the direction of the foreign policy of his kingdom. The protocol of London, which is dated the sth instant, frankly and cordially admits that MEHEMET Am has performed with the utmost good faith all the conditions of submission im posed upon him, and sanctions the return of the European Consular authorities to Alexandria. It likewise Oserves that the SULTAN has kept faith with his Allies, by bestowing upon MEnr 7 mizr ALI the Pachalic of Egypt; but it carefully omits the expression of an opinion that the first arrangement was such as ought to satisfy the PACHA. Of this protocol a copy appears in the Augsburg Gazette of the 17th instant, of which the tiillowing is a translation : • - Ihe Plenipotentiaries of the Courts of Austria, Great Britain, Prussia, Russia, and the Ottoman Porte, have assem bled• in order to deliberate on the reports received from Con stantinople to the date of the 4th of February, and on the com munications exchanged between the representatives of the four allied Courts and the Minister of the Porte. Fmm the ensemble of these communicant ns it results— " 1. That Mehemet Ali has submitted himself uncondi tiooa'ly to his Sovereign, and that he had asked pardon. " 2. That, as an evidence of his submission, he has restored the Ottoman fleet, uhich, after having been handed over to the Commissioners appointed by the Porte, has already left Alex andria, and entered Marmorice Bay. • " 3. That ail Syria has been evacuated by the Egyptian troops. _ _ " n 4-. That the Sultan's authority has boen legally re-esta blished in Syria and in the Island of Candia. try. That his Highness the Sultan has condescended to ac cept Mehemet AL's submission. by granting to him, his children and his family, entire forgiveness. " 6. That his Highness, yielding to the councils of his has at the same time deigned to make known the inten tion of reinstating Mehemet Ali in his functions as Paella of Egypt, with the heirship (heredite) for his descendants. The conditions which the instructions bearing date the 15th of October, and the memorandum of the 14th of Novem ber, have laid down, have consequently been fulfilled. The Pacha of Egypt has submitted himself; he has restored the fleet, evacuated the district of Adana, of Syria, and of the island of Candia, given the necessary orders for the restoration of the holy cities, and, finally, a pardon has been granted to him after his return to his duty and to obedience. At the name time the hope expressed by the collective note addressed on the 30th of January to Chekib Effendi has heen fulfilled. The counsels which the representatives of the four Powers have given have been received by the Sultan with that very friendly confidence with which the efficacious co-operation of his allies had inspired him. In consequence of this council his Highness has expressed the resolution of publishing a fir man, by which Mehemet Ali was to be granted the heredi tary inve7titure of the pachalic of Egypt, based on the condi tions in the separate act of the Convention of the 15th of July. This firman has been duly communicated to the Ottoman Am bassador in London, and conveyed to the knowledge of the re presentatives of the Four Courts, after having received the sanction of his Highness. " In this slate of things the Plenipotentiaries of the Allied Courts, considering the circumstances which have given rise to the departure of the Consuls of the Four Powers from Alexandria, have deemed it a seasonable opportunity to send back those agents to their post. The Representatives f the Four Powers at Constantinople will come to an understanding with that view with the Porte, in order to fix the period when those agents shall proceed simultaneously to Alex an d r ia.

With the above Protocol we have received ad vices from Constantinople, of the 24th of Fe bruary, which bring deplorable accounts of the actual state of Syria. The following extract, from a letter of that date contains a summary of the News from Syria and Constantinople : , " The Syrian mountaineers, exasperated by the rapacity and licentiousness of the Sultan's troops, regular and irregular, but particularly of ;he latter, are everywhere in arms, and will shortly, it is expected, rise en masse to expel from the country the lawless and insolent intruders who have quartered them :elves all over it, conducting themselves with the gieatest brutality, and respecting neither the board nor bed of their en tertainers. For most of those ruffians are the Albanian mer cenaries, whose excesses are too shocking to be detailed. One instance will suffice. A Maronite church at Beyrout was, during the celebration of Divine service, forcibly entered by a band of these miscreants. The'male part of the congregation were driven out, and many murdered in the struggle which en sued. The doors were then fastened, and the women subjected to every species of cruelty and outrage. "The head-quarters of the T ur ki s h army are now at Jaffa. Zechariah Pacha, the Turkish Commander-in-Chief, and General Joelimus, his military Mentor, are both at - that place, and they have been joined there by Ibrahim Pacha, who -was labouring under severe indisposition, and indeed not even ex pected to live. The Egyptian army, according to last ac counts, was still at Gaza, under the command of Solyman Pacha. It was said to be still thirty thousand strong, but in other respects a mere disorganised band. "'I he Turkish fleet, with the exception of the Mahmoudieh, bearing Admiral Walker's flag, which is at Larnpsaca, is all ant.h,red off Alytelene. It is expected here with the first southerly wind. The batteries of the Bosphorus have, during the last three days, been firing salvos in honour of the - birth of another Princess, already known by the name of Behiye. " In consequence of some suspicion of the plague having de clared itself near the village of Fanaraki, on the Bosphorus, Constantinople has been placed under certain sanatory restric tions by the board of health. " Halil Pacha h• s been once more received into the Sultan's favour. Under the pretext of visiting his sister Saliha, the wife of the ex-Minis.er, his Highness admitted him to an au dience at his palace on the Bosphorus ; so that his seedy return to race (much to the confusion of Reschid Pacha and his 1 arty) is cow confidently anticipated by everbody." The Paris Journals of Sunday have been duly received. We regret to state that the serious illness of one of M. GUIZOT'S children is a source of great affliction to that distinguished Statesman. Few who know the private life of that eminent man can refuse him in his sorrow the tribute of their sympathy. Of political news there is nothing of impor tance in the French Journals. The National reproduces from the traitorMAcKENziesGazette, published in New York, the litany for a war with England which, during the ill-starred Ad ministration of M. THIERs, appeared in its co lumns. This litany,' which runs in the follow ing fashion :—"'ln the name of Waterloo war with . England," recounts eleven de feats of Trance by England ! Happily for ourselves, the National may safely defy us to retort upon France the composition of such a litany. The materials are wanting to us. We must, therefore, leave to the National the undis turbed glory of singing and re=singing such litanies, as long as it indulges a humour for such outpourings of patriotic piety. Count St.bAulaire is expected at Paris to-morrow. The sub-prefecture of Alais (Gard) has been vacant for eight mon hs. Letters from that place inform us that this cir cum,tance has a very bad effect there. The movement of the Sub.prefects continues to be effected without any publicity. Great changes are announced. All this indicates.a project to dissolve the elective chamber, which is in vain-disavowed or disEembled, but which becomes more and more evident even to the least clear-sighted.—Le Consti tgtionnel. ti A letter from Berlin of the 14th March says :—" A courier of the Russian Court has just brought to our King the official notice that the Ermiress of Russia will arrive at Berlin in the first fortnight of the month of May, that is after the cele bration of the marriage of the Imperial Prince Alexan der. The King desiring to receive himself his beloved sister has deferred his journey to the Rhenish provinces till tl:e end of the same month. Orders have been given to defer till the autumn the grand reviews which were to have taken place in the southern provinces of the kingdom in the month of April. The solemnity of doing homage in the Rhenish provinces will take place at the end of May. A letter which we have received from Frankfort of the 16th of this month says—." 'l he German Diet, struck with the in conveniences in the composition of the army of the Confedera • tion which consls's of about 40 contingents, all different in their uniforms, their arms, and many other particulars, has just brought forward a proposal to arm and equip these different corps in a uniform manner. This proposal was unani mously approved by the Members of the Diet, and in order to carry it into effect with as little delay as possible, it was re solved to begin immediately with the eight corps, which is to be assembled in the spring on the Rhenish frontiers for the grand reviews.—Le Commerce. Madrid Journals of the 15th instant have come to hand. The Gazette of that day publishes the fo!lowing decree of the Regency:— " Art 1.

The following account of a disgraceful scene in a church in Madrid is from one of the Journals of the 13th : Yesterday the church of the convent of the Carmelite Friars was profaned by unheard of scenes of violence and disorder. It being the funeral service for Senor Safont's family econsider able number of persons, bent on curiosity, gained admission to the church. Towards evening it became necessary to send for., a detachment of troops, in order to restrain the multitude. But the five or six soldiers placed in the church were not sufficient to keep down the crowd which was increasing every minute, and it was necessary to send for some National Militia. But the latter could no more keep within bounds the dense mws, than prevent the cries and vociferations. When the service for the dead had leached the second stanza, the music was obliged to stop, the people having begun to cry out tlipt music was not necessary, that for Safont the sound of the voices alone was sufficient, and it became imperative to finish the service in a hurry. Senor Potadas, Archbishop elect of Valentia, who presided at the ceremony, was so frightened at this disturb ance that be fainted away, and he was obliged to be carried to the Sacri,tan. It is needless to add that numerous rob berks were committed in the church. At the hotel Safont, distributions of alms are being made in the name of the son who escaped him. Hamburgh Papers of the latest dates have just reached us. We subjoin extracts from them : HAMBURGII, MARCH 17.—The Leipsic Allgemeine Zeitung pallisi , es a circular is,ued by Baron Von Bodel Schevingh, Chief President of the Province of the Rhine, in which he an nouncec officially to the censors of political jonrnals, that his Majesty (the King of Prussia) has been pleased to allow the vroceedings and is cults of the Provincial Assemblies to be suc cessively published during ; the ses,ion, by means of official ar ticles in journals qualified for the purpose, in the place where the Assembly meets, or in some place in the neighbourhood. Though the .rdinance of the 12th of May, 1826, by which no c(minnunication «hateser of the proceedings of the Provincial Es,tates is allowed to be conside•ed as hereby revoked, it is, however, to be understood, that except those official articles and those which may appear in the State Gazette, the printing of all-other unauthorised accounts of theViscussions in the As semblies is strietly.prohibited, and the imprimateur is in no case to be given to such articles. FRONTIERS OF GALICIA, MARCH 4.—Emigration still continues from Russia to Galicia, on the froniiers nearest to Limburg. There unauthorised emigrants often succeed in clan destinely conveying their property, even their cattle, across the frontier. The Russian Government has complained of these irregularities to the Austrian Government, which is no more able to prevent them than itself. One of the most recent notes from St. Petersburgh states the number of these emi grants at 3,060, and very earnestly prefers a remedy for this abuse. But such persons have been frequently arrested and sent by the Austrian authorities to the frontier, where the Rus sian authorities have refused to receive them.

He condemned the harsh language of the Commissioners, was the advocate of alms-giving, and bespoke the kindest treatment of the poor. He and his party mean, therefore, to back out of the unpopularity of the measure. They are per plexed, and mean to leave the odium of it to the Whigs and the country gentlemen.

So very uninteresting are their Lord ships' labours cOnsidered to be by the Times, that it does not generally condescend to waste a line on their nightly sittings. Their Lordships amused- themselves till dinner-time. The Commons, after the presentation of a great ' number of petitions, the announce ment of a motion for a Committee on NewfoUnd land, a little gossip about the arrangdment of; business, in which Lord JOHN RUSSELL said hd i should state on Wednesday what he me a n s to do as to many of the amendments proposed td the new Poor-law—went' into a Cointnittee or. the Consolidated Fund Bill. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER gave the explanatibn• to Sit G. CLERK which he was unable to give on Fri day, and said that :the mistak . e arose from the Hon. Baronet having moved for and obtained incomplete return, which took no notice of tl money in the Treasury. In reply to Mr. HUME, the ,CHANCELLOR of the ExcIiE4LTER admitted that he had used som6. of the money of the Savings Banks, which tl4 Ilion. Gentleman said was enough to alarm the House and the country. The. Right Hon. Csen4 tleman was increasing the debt without the con!- sent of Parliament. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated that he was authorised to do what he had done. The SPEAKER called the attention of the House to the mode in which the extra exi pense of last year was to be provided fole and mentioned in the. Appropriation Act, which he said was directly the reverse cif the only precedent he could find; which occurreil in '1790, of a surplus . expenditure being aftei'7 wards provided for. In that case the vote wets reserved till the end of the Session; and was not mixed up with the ordinary business of Bupply. An appeal to Sir R. PEEL'S opinion however— who is the real guide of the House—and a few words from the Right Hon. Baronet, settled the question. The House resumed, and after a long prelimi nary discussion, about what specific object we cannot say, further than it referred to the Poor . law Commissioners Continuance Bill, and' the administration of the law, went into a Committee on that Bill. Mr. WAKLEY was, as before, very - inflammatory, and this time he had- Lord Hal,y- ICK for a critic and opponent. In Committee there was a considerable debase on an amendment proposed by Mr. EAsTinpr 'to limit the duration of the Bill to 1843, instead of 1846, which vas lost by 174 to 135. The Hotise was occupied with this important Bill through the greater part of the evening, and.rose at Half past Twelve o'Clock. Some of our Contemporaries writing about Nee trade, whether they advocate or oppose it, seem not to be aware, or at least' not always to remem ber, that free trade nowhere exists, and never has existed, in modern times so as to iupply:us with evidence derived from experience.eitheri of its deformity and mischievousness or of 'its beauty, and usefulness.

The Committee assembled this day at eleven o'clock. Mr. Sergeant WIaANGHAM resumed his address and con tended that the nomination of Mr. Bagshaw by Mr. Purr was too late, inasmuch as it was not made until the Mayor was de. daring the return of Mr. Toinline. Supposing all that his friend had stated was correct, there was no distinct nomina tion. There was no objection made to the declaration of the return of Mr. Tomline, by any person who had the slightest in terest- in the election. Was it then surprising that Mr. Purr's mind should have fluctuated when he re collected the responsibility attaching to him—a respon sibility felt more deeply than any others—a pecuniary responsibility? His would be liable to all the expenses of the election. Mr. Purr might have been warned to t a k e care, what he was about, and th a t he might Lave to pay the bill. Now this was the grea'est of all checks upon enthusiasm. Was it rea unable that a party intending to adhere to his proposal should have heard the returning officers sav that no distinct nomination had reached him without contradicting such a statement. They allowed the Mayor to remain under that im pression, and Jima had waived their right to object at any subsequent . stage. What could be more absurd than tha' a party should I.e by without objecting, and afterwards be allowed to come before a Committee and say the return was void, because he had proposed Mr. Bagshaw in time. Whether they intended to waive the proposal or not all dis cussion ceased, for if they did it was of no effect, and if they did not they were now too late. Neither the Mayor nor Col. Addison, nor yet the Reporter, who was nearer the body of the Hall than th e Mayor, heard the no m i na ti on . The latter said he heard nothing of the kirsd more than a cry from the Hail of " Bagshaw, Bagshaw." This proved conclusively that the proposal was such as the Mayor could not have heard, or attended to if he had. He was satisfied he need not urge more upon this point, and the more especially as his Learned Friend could, if he pleased, have put Mr. Hazel in the box to prove that he bad made the nomination, which, however was not done. The Learned Sergeant then adverted to the cases of the Bristol, Gloucester. shire, and other elections that had been cited by Mr. Sergeant Mereweather, and contended that tl ey had no adverse bearing upon hs case, and that th, y were all in favour of the p,,iut he was contending for in the present case, namely, that the choice of the electors was over when the declaration of return began. First, theri, his Friend had failed to make out that which was essential to his case, namely, that Purr or Saxby were electors of the borough, and entitled to put Mr. Bagshaw in nomination. Secondly, it was proved distinctly the Mayor was in the act of declaring the nominal ion of Mr. Towline, when he was inter rupted by Mr. Acland; and, thirdly, if the nomination of Mr. Bag shaw had been made at the first moment when the Mayor called upon the electors to nominate another cand.date, the subse quent conduct of the pro , l oser and seconder in remaining mu t e was a complete waiver of tbt it former proposal; and as they declined to adhere to it then, they were not entitled to adhere to it now. His Learned Friend had net dared to call the Mayor, but he (Mr. Sergeant Wrangham) would do so, and thus rest his case upon an cpponent, and put the Committee in possession of the case which had been hitherto withheld from them ; and he trusted the Committee would determine upon his testimony, and upon consideration of the whole facts of the case, that Mr. Tomline was duly elected for the borough cf Sudbury. Mr. William Spooner was then called and examined by Mr. Austin—l was Mayor of Sudbury last year. The last election for the borough occurred during my Mayoralty, and I was consequently the returnint , officer. 1 was aware when I read the precept that Mr. Tomline e would be a candidate. It was known generally throughout the town. I did not hear of any gentleman who was spoken of as another candidate.' lam a Liberal, and am proud of saying so. I have been actively engaged in the elections for the borough. I should be greatly surprised at any person being nominated by my party without my being aware that it was intended to nominate him. On the morning on which the election took place I was positively assured that Mr. Ba g shaw would not b e put i n nom i nat i on. Mr. Acland came to Sudbury about a week before the election. He wrote from Manchester announcing himself as a candidate. He and Mr. Tomline were the only candidateS at the time the election was held. There was a Mr. Hoey there, a friend of Mr. Acland. I iaw him on the morning of the election, and he wished me to give Mr. Acland the same facility at the elec tion as his Honourable Opponent.. I was surprised at the question, as I wished to support Mr. Acland, if he would sup port her Majesty's Ministers. I inquired if he had a proposer and seconder, and he told me that arrangements had been made. I learned elsewhere they were Mr. Sa.xby and Mr. Large. The day before the election Mr. Acland asked me if Mr. Bag shaw would be proposed, and I replied that I knew that he would not. This was my firm belief and knowledge. Mr. Bagshaw had been previously Member for the borough. I knew Mr. Bagshaw had an eye upon Harwich at the last election. When he was last defeated for Sudbury, he declared to me that he would never become a candidate again. After the usual pre liminai ies had been gone through at the time of election, I ad dressed the assembly, and inquired if any person wished to propose a candidate. Immediately upon this Mr. Ternline was proposed and seconded. After that was done, I naturally turned round to Mr. Acland and his party, but to my utter as tonishment they were mote. Mr. Bagshaw was not there. I paired a full minute at least, it may have been longer. There was ample time to have nominated ten gentlemen. I should have been pleased to hear Mr. Acland vreposed. I had not the least wish to send Mr. Tomline to Parliament. I would much rather have sent Mr. Bagshaw. At the end of the hour I turned to the town clerk and said there was no other candi date ; and he replied that I must then do my duty. I believed there was no other candidate—l am still of that opinion. Fri day there w.s no other candidate. I immediately made up my mind that Mr. Tomline was returned, and I was about im mediately to declaro him duly elected; but before I got EVENING EDITIO.N. r, through the wh o l e o f thepassage I was very rud el y interr o by Mr.! Acland, who", cried out, '• Wait, Mr. mayo upon which I rather p e tti s hly timed round to him a° fg lei i° Well, then, I'll g i ve y ou ano th er minute." He then go, the assembly, and it aeared to me that he would put l o ts tleman's Lame into their mouths. I gave another oho Mr. Tomline, who was standing by me, put his 114 , i c , s oni my hand, and I timed th e ndnute, during whic h I iejoja? embarrassment, thinking I ,had done Mr. T o mline an ma lt tice. At the expiration of the minute I aVern a second declaration, and I did return him amid gr eat l Ofr sion, in the manner expressed in the Suffolk pnye.r% , ce 3 1 r . son seemed dissatisfied but Mr. Ac'and.
