By P. B. TEAIPLETON, _ . _ _ Late Reporter for the " Manchester Times." W. S. Orr and Co., Amen Corner, Paternoster -row; London; Bancks and Co , St. Ann's-square, and Heywood, Oldham street, Manchester ; and may be had of all Booksellers. By these Lessons any person may make himself acquainted with stenography in an incredibly short time. The author re quests attention to the following notices -- • " Possessing at least fifteen years' practical experience, and having read every system of short-hand I could obtain access to—having mvself a collection of about sixty different systems, printed and in MS.—I may say that, as it appears to me, you are the first to strike out of the beaten path of steno graphical writers and teachers, in the mode of your instruc tion and order of your lessons I think a more rapid progress may be made in the knowledge, not only of your particular system, but of the principles of the art generally, by your book than by any other I have seen."—Let ter from Mr. J. Harland, Reporter, Manchester Guardian. " The simplicity and orderly arrangement of the lessons are such a% we have never seen equalled ; indeed, nothing better adapted to the wants of students of short-hand could be de sired or conceived."—Manchester Courier. " From the clear and easy rules laid down in it to instruct the learner, it is one of the best works •n short-hand that a student can possibly lay hold of ; and, viewing it in comparison with other works on the subject, we do not think it has a com petitor."—Manchester Times. " We have looked through this treatise with much satisfac tion, and believe we are safe in recommending it to the atten tion of all intending students of the art, as the most complete, " sen sible, and practicable system ever brought under our notic e . —.Manchester and Salford Advertiser. 66 The arrangement of the lessens is at ones novel and ex cellent, and the instructions are conveyed in clear and perspi cuous language. We have no hesitation in saying that the learner needs no other instructor than this little work to enable him to acquire the art, and to practise it with success." —.Leeds Times. _ _ " We have read this little treatise very attentively, and have no hesitation in pronouncing it the best work on the subject that has yet been published."—Post Magazine. " Mr. Templeton's character as a short-hand writer, in con nection with the press for a number of years, is a sufficient guarantee of the practicability and excellence of his system." --Manchester Chronicle. " Mr. Templeton'sgreat experience and general accuracy as a short-hand writer entitle his observations on the teaching of the art to careful attention. From our own knowledge of Mr. 'Templetou's capabilities, as well as from a careful perusal of his work, we have formed a very high opinion of its merits." —Leeds Intelligencer. 66 Among the best works on this branch of science is one lately published by Mr. P. B. Templeton, a gentlenlan who has been a long time connected with the English press, and who is as skille I in the practice as in the theory of short-hand writing."—Dublin Pilot. " The exercises given only require a little attention to be understood ; and we may venture to assert, that with Mr. Templeton's six lessons as guides, if the learner possesses ap plication for study and opportunity for practice, he may ac quire, in a short time, sufficient knowledge of short-hand to be able to follow the mast fluent speaker."—Dublin Evening Packet. " We have read this little book with great care and attention, and we feel no hesitation in recommending it as the very best treatise we have ever read on the science of short-band. It is the practical work of a practical man. Nothing is laid down by the author as proper to be done that he has not himself found to be so—and that the writer of this, who has had some fifteen years experience in the Law Courts, at public meetings, and in the gallery, does not cordially approve of."—Planet. " Those who wish to know short-hand, and desire to prac tise it, as they see it every day used by those connected with the Press, will learn ' the six lessons' by Mr. Templeton, and persevere with them. Those who have a desire to be deluded —to lose at once their money and their time—will deal with the advertising quacks who prof ss to make men accomplished stenographists in a few days—they might as well profess to teach a child to read in six hours from the first moment at which it commenced learning its alphabet. Mr. Templeton professes no such thing. He gives six good lessons in short hand—and he leaves them to the learner, with sound advice, that requires only to he followed to be most profitable."—Bell's New Weekly Messenger. " After giving Mr. Templeton's bock a careful perusal, we have much pleasure in recommending it as tne best work on the subject we ever happened to meet."--Bolton Free Press. " The student will find this a simple and easy system. The alphabet, the prefixes, and terminations, as well as the arbi traries, appear to be easy of acquisition, and judiciously selected for rapidity in writing, while the rules and exercises are so plain and succinct that they cannot be misunderstood."—York Herald. " To those who arc about to engage in tl e study of this use ful and interesting science we would point out this cheap little work as worthy of their attention, feeling assured that the carrying out of the system laid down will enable them to realize most of the grt at and important advantages connected with it. It is written by a practical man, one who has had many years experience in short-hand writing, both for his own private purpose and for the benefit of the public in connection with the newspaper press in some of the largest towns in this country."—Yorkshireman. Besides these the opinions of nearly fifty other periodicals might be quoted, all of which speak equally in favour of the , merits of this little work.

The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to address the Jury, and admitted he could not contend with the evidence which had been adduced to show that the prisoner was the party whohad obtained the letters from the post -office, an offence to which he had no doubt been tempted by the extreme care lessness displayed in the Manchester office. The only question for them was, whether the prisoner had the deliberate inten tion of stealing the property and applying it to his own use at the time he obtained it, or whether it. had not been originally a mere boyish frolic in calling out at hazard a number, the temp tation to dishonesty coming upon him when he found the na ture of the papers which this careless conduct on the part of the pest-office officials had put in his hands. In the latter case his act would not be a felony. His Lordship summed up, and the Jury found the prisoner Guilty. HOME CIRCUIT:—LEwxs, Melo' 27. The business of this Assize concluded last night, and the Learned Judges left Lewes this morning for town. CROWN COURT. (Before Lord DENMAN.) Robert Fuller, the man who pleaded guilty on Tues clay to a charge of aggravated assault upon his w under such circumstances as to leave very little doubt that his intention was to have murdered her, and whose judgment was respited, was brought up to receive the sentence of the Court, Lord DENMAN addressed the prisoner in a most im pressive manner, and said, that although the prosecutors had consented to allow him to plead guilty to the charge of assault only, it was the duty of the Court to look at the evidence, and upon the depositions a more aggra vated case never could be made out, and it would ap pear to have been almost a special interposition of Pro vidence that his unhappy wife had not become a victim to the attack tuAde upon her, in which case his own life would most certainly have been sacrificed. Under the circumstances, the Learned Judge said that he felt his duty to the public compelled him to pass the most se vere sentence affixed by the law for the offence of which he had been convicted. POLITICAL SUMMARY OF THE MORNING JOURNALS. The Morning Chronicle of this day observes, in the tours* of a leading article on the parochial law of Scotland :—" We have always maintained that a country can never be in a healthy condition in which there is not a compulsory provision for the poor. The owners of the soil ought to be made to feel themselves responsible for the people reared on their lands, and self-interest in that case will lead them to attend to the pro portion between the numbers of the people and the means for maintaining them. At present this duty is utterly neglected by the landlords in the Highlands, who are the great breeders of paupers, and coolly propose the removal of multitudes at the expense of the nation A better proof of the badness of the system now prevailing in Scotland cannot be afforded than this, than while the towns are in this disgraceful state, the country is advancing rapidly in prosperity—is iu fact at this time the most thriving part of the island." The Morning Post, speaking of the official orders issued by the New Poor-law Commissioners, says :—" The fault may possibly not be so much with the ommissioners who give the orders as with the secretary who reduces them to form, and communicates to them his peculiar style. But, wherever the kult may be, there is undoubtedly the fault of an offensive dictatorial manner, as if the Commissioners could not be • o•herwise than exactly right, and every one who differed with them unquestionably in the wrong. It seems to he the opi nion of the person who prepares the writings which issue from the Poor-law Commission, that it is very proper to treat the commonly-received notions of kindness and humanity with contempt. This is deserving of the gravest censure. The Morning Herald states, in allusion to some recent amend ments in the new Poor-law Bill :—" May we not infer that the cause of humanity is on the advance in the Cabinet, as well in the House? That at last the voice of the poor will be favourably heard, in reference to their appeals from many of the most grinding and obnoxious clauses of the existing Poor law ?"—The Times, referring to the new Poor-law question, remarks as follows :—" We have never been, and we will never affect to be, advocates of the union system, and we utterly dis like the constitution of boards of guardians. If the Poor-law Commission were abolished, we should place no confidence in them, and we have no doubt whatever that many gross cases of oppression would then, as now, arise out of their mismanage ment." The prisoner was then sentenced to be imprisoned for three years ; and the Court also directed that the last fortnight of each three months he should be kept in sol tary confinement. CIVIL SIDE. BROWS V. SCRACE. This was an action to recover damages of the de fendant for having, as was alleged, wantonly defamed the character of the plaintiff, and a plea for special da mage was also set up. Mr. Thesiger, Mr. Platt, and Mr. Charnock were for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Shee and Mr. Creasy for the defendant. Mr: THESIGER said the plaintiff in this action was a respectable medical man, carrying on business at Brighton, and the defendant was also a tradesman and bcadborough of the same town. The defendant had thought proper upon the public race-course to make use of such language, and cast imputations of so offensive -I character upon the plaintiff that he was compelled in his own vindication to adopt the present proceeding, and his only object in so doing was to vindicate himself from the imputations cast upon him. Mr. Richard Pellew deposed that he was a surgeon at Brighton, and he knew the plaintiff, who was of the same profession. On the sth of last August he was with a gentleman named Collins, at the Brighton races, and he heard the defendant tell the plaintiff that he had come home dm k and had " whopped" his wife, and dragged his dead child out of the coffin, and he repeated the same expressions a second time. Witness, in con sequence of these expressions being used, declined to meet the plaintiff at the time. Cross-examined--He said at the moment that he should decline holding any communication with the plaintiff, but after consideration he should not now ob ject to it. - - John Goldsmith deposed that he was an innkeeper at Lewis, and he was present when the occurrence took place. The defendant was acting in his capacity of headborough, and he ordered the plaintiff off the course. They both appeared rather excited, and the defendant said, " 'There's a pretty rascal, he went home t'other night and beat his wife and pulled the dead child out of the coffin." Cross-examined—Did not bear the plaintiff say " Who are you Mr. Pinchcrust? you had better go home and sell short weight."—(Laughter.) Mr. F. Collins deposed that he went with plaintiff to the races, and while they were standing together the defendant came up and pushed roughly against them, and told the plaintiff that he must leave the course. Plaintiff civilly refused, and asked for his' autho rity to remove him, and he produced a staff, and said that was his authority. The plain tiff then said that he might have asked him to go in a more civil manner, and the de fendant then made use of the expressions imputed to him. Plaintiff had attended witness and his family professionally before this, but since that event he had never been in his house, and he told the plaintiff that he could not allow him to do so until he had cleared his character. Cross-examined—He told the plaintiff that he ought to go into Court, and offered to be his witness. He ha .I been in plaintiff's house several times, and some times drank some gin and water with him. The defend ant called out, " I am Pinebutte, the baker." Sarah King, a neighbour to the plaintiff, proved that st the time the plaintiff's child was lying dead, she heard no noise or swearing in his house ; and she must have done so, she said, if any such thing had occurred. This being the case for the plaintiff, Mr. Sergeant SLICE submitted to the Court that there was nothing to go to the Jury. Baron PARKE expressed a similar opinion, and the pl,iintiff was accordingly nonsuited. The sentence upon the Messrs. Gell for assaulting Mr. Fullager, has created a very great sensation in the town of Lewes, and our correspondent was informed that another application was made to the Learned Judge to rescind the sentence of imprisonment, but he refused to do so, and the only amelioration of that sentence has been that the defendants were ordered to be sent to the debtors' gaol at Horsham, instead of the House of Correction. If they had gone to the latter prison they would hive been compelled to wear the prison dress and to have the prison allowance, and this must have been felt most severely by persons in their station of life. NORTHERN ClRCUl7'—.Lrricar , ooL, March 26. The Judges arrived here last night, and opened the Com mission of Assize. There are ninety-seven prisoners in the calendar, seven of whom are charged with murder, seven with rape, two with attempts to murder, and one with aiding and abetting that crime. There are ten cases of manslaughter, eight of cutting and wounding, four for forgery, two burglaries, besides felonies of the more ordinary description. The cause list contains sixty. four in the first or Manchester list, and one hundred and twelve in the Liverpool list. (Before Mr. Baron RoLFE ) WILKINSON V. WALKER. This was an action to recover compensation in damages for an injury sustained by the plaintiff from the misconduct of the defendant. Mr. Hill and Mr. Cresswell were for the plaintiff; Mr. Alexander for the defendant. The plaintiff Mary Ann:Wilkinscn a young woman. twenty two years of age, is a miliner a n d A ress maker, residing with her mother at Andenshaw, near Gorton, and is the organist of the Dissenting chapel there. In August, 1837, she was at an evening party. After supper she was about to sit down to the piano, when the defendant suddenly withdrew the chair, and she received a fall. Active means were required to subdue the inflammation. In November she went to the chapel to play, but suffered a relapse, and it finally became necessary for her to give up her occupation. An engagement under which she was to have been married was broken off in consequence of the ill health to which she was reduced. In the end of last year she was attacked by a disease of the spine, which made considerable progress, but was now getting better, from the remedies applied by her medical adviser. When organist at Gorton she had Si. per annum for ber ser vices, and usually four or five pupils.—Damages, 501. MAiten 27. John Browne, a lad aged 16, was indicted for stealing cer tamn letters and a great number of hills of exchange, the pro perty in which was laid, under the statute, in the Postmaster- General. It appeared that an the 19th of December last the mail from Liverpool had been late at the Manchester office, and there being in consequence considerable bustle in the delivery, a clerk who did not usually attend in the office in question was called in to assist in that department in which the boxes are kept for the various mercantile houses in Manchester. While so engaged a person, whom he believed to be the pri soner at the bar, called out the number 2 86, which is that of the box appropriated to the B ank of Manchester. He re and exp resse d i m patience clerk fi na ll y gave hi m t h e l ti i iTn eh ielse' Proved to b e a l e tt er f rom nbt being tsghoef detained nu t he n b b e o r xs o s 2 e s ‘ l • 60e long. several re peated t the Bank of Liverpool, containing bills to the amount of 6,4091., a letter from the Bur Banking Company containing a check for 471. 10s., and a third letter from Newtown, in Wales, containing a bond. The mistake which had been com mitted was not discovered until the clerk who usually fetched the Manchester Bank letters called and found they had already been delivered. In the course of the morning the check from the Bury Bank was presented by a person who was identified as the prisoner at the house of Messrs. Jones, Loyd, and Co., in Manchester. It harbeen, in the usual way crossed to the Manchester Bank, but this had been struck out, a n d t h e name of Thomson inserted. On being presented, the clerk before cashing it spoke to one of the principals, who went to the counter and spoke to the prisoner, the re was something wrong about the check , an d it would be detained until a com munication was had with the Manchester Bank. The prisoner, however, was allowed to depart, and of course did not return to claim the amount of the check. On the 21st of December, Mr. Burdekin, manager of the Manchester Bank, received the following letter through the post:— " Sir,—l will be o bliged to you to inform me what you would give to have the bills and notes returned I got from the Post-office. If you • I advertise in the Manchester Guar dian I will return them. They amount to about 7,e00/., and you shall have them all back except the check of the Bury Bank, which I sent a lad with to Jones, Lloyd, and Co. J . B. " Just state what you will giv e, in the Mancheste r Guardian of Saturday." custody The prisoner was taken into on anoth er c h arge some days after, and en inquiry being made at the house of a Mr. funds, the bondservice which was enclosed in the third letter was in the pocket of his jacket, and in the room which he occuped some fragments of letters, which proved to have belonged to those in which the bills and check had been enclosed. In the pocket of a mackin tosh cloak, also belonging to the prisoner, were hound nine so vcrigns. When taken to the lockup he wrote a letter to Mr. Rowe, in which he spoke of the disgrace which he had brought upon hlnnself ; but said he did not know what had induced him to do , and that he had never wronged Mr. Rowe of a shilling. He begged Mr. Rowe to forget him, but said he should never think of him but as a kind and generous master. Mr. WoItTLEY (for the prisoner) in point of law, contended lint ill. offence proved by the evidence, supposing it conclu sive, was an obtaining under false pretences, and not a felony. Its Lordship, after argument, overruled the objec- //g Ae'e/-6/ PRICE sd. they admitted that, because of this extra capital, to Le hid out in the carrying business, it was intended to tax the public higher. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. (From the Hampshire Telegraph.) PORTSIiOUTH, MARCH 27.—Extract of- a Letter from Rio Janeiro, da'ed Jan. 14,11841 :—" On the 31st December last, her Majesty's brigantine Fawn, Lieutenant Foote, and Partridge, Lieutenant Wm. Morris, Leing 25 miles to the eastward of the Island of St. Sebastian, on this cost, cruising for the suppression of the slave trade, descried a brig in the E.N.E., standing in for the land. The wind being very light, both vessels sent their boats to board the stranger, which at 6 p.m. took possession of her. She proved to be the Portuguete brig Acceiccra, having on board 332 slaves, 24 having died on their passage from Quillimane, on the coast of Africa, bound to Ma Grande. The misery and wretchedness endured by these hapless creatures, from Le!ng short of water, when the brig was captured, was most extreme. Slavery is still carried on to a very great extent on this coast. The Asia, 84, Capt. W. Fisher, sailed on Monday last, for Chatham, to be - paid off. The Iris, 26, Captain Nurse, sailed on Wednesday from Plymouth, for the esast of Africa. The Bellerophon, 80, Captain C. J. Austen, C. 8., is ordered from the Mediterranean to he paid off at Portsmouth ; and the Implacable, 74, Captain E. Har vey, is also returning home, to be paid off at Plymouth. The Tweed, 20, Commander Douglas, sailed yester day morning for the North American and West India Station ; she will proceed, in the first instance, to Ber muda. The Pique, 36, reached Chatham on Wednesday, the Salamander having left her at the Nore to go back and assist the Asia, 84 ; the Pique was to be docked tc day, and on the Dockyard report the Admiralty will determine on paying her off or continuing her in com mission ; her masts cannot be made in the Chatham yard in less than six weeks. The Gloucester and Eagle, both .50 gun razees, are getting ready for commission at Chatham, and the Warspite, Vindictive, and Dublin, all of 50 guns, at this port. The Unicorr., 46, is getting ready for commission at Chatham. The Siren, 10 guns, will be launched in the end of April. The keel of the Albert, 90 gun ship, has been this week laid down on a new slip in this dockyard. The General Kyd, from Madras for London, passed the Wil.ht yesterday. The Vulcan, for Bordeaux and Mauritius, is at Spit head. NEW YORK LINERS.—The Philadelphia, from New York, dropped her mails here on Wednesday ; she left on the Est instant ; the Mediator, for New York, sailed on Thursday ; and the Gladiator, for New York, sailed yesterday. We momentarily look for the Samson, which should har•e left New York on the 10th instant. Sixteen war steamers are ordered to be built, six of the first class, and ten of the second ; all to be armed with guns of ten-inch calibre. Several of these will be laid down immediately, and the frames of the whole converted, without delay, so as to be ready by the time the engines are prepared. The officers of the Excellent have subscribed 81. 3s. to the fund for the widows and orphans of the crew of the late Fairy. The total sum subscribed exceeds 2,0001., and will, we believe, be divided upon the prin ciple of shares, similar to prize money. Ten young gentlemen, from 15 to 19 years, are forth with to be entered on board the Excellent, and thence to the Naval College, to study mathematics ; they are to be permitted to remain two years, at which period it is expected they will be competent to pass an examina tion ; and if successful, they will immediately obtain a commission as marine officers. It any gentleman qua lifies himself at the expiration of one year he will attain the same reward. They are to be paid as mates, viz. 65/. a ye tr. We is ere delighted at the excellence of the gunnery practice of the Nautilus brig, of 10 guns, a few days since at Spithead ; we had heard the firing, and could plainly see that the shots were well directed, but at a moment we were looking with a telescope at the target flag, a shot struck the staff and carried it away, and in the next instant, another shot knocked the cask, in which the flag had been inserted, to atoms ; the dis tance was point blank range, and we presume the guns were carronades. The Victoria revenue cutter picked up on Tuesday last, off the Nab Light Vessel, 53 tubs and one flagon of spirits of brandy and gin. In Harbour.—Quecen, Victory, Excellent, Royal George, and Echo steam tug. At Spithead.—lndus, Vernon, Pelican, and Nau tilus. On Wednesday Sir James and Lady Stirling gave a sumptuous and elegant entertainment on board the In dus, at Spithead, to a large and brilliant party of these towns and neighbourhood. The Lieutenant-Governor and the Hon. Lady Pakenham were present, as wore the Port Admiral and daughters, the Admiral Superin tLnclent, the Hon. Mrs. Bouverie and the Mis-es Bouverie, Colonel and Mrs. Arbuthnot, Hon. Mrs. Greville, Captain and Mrs. Ellice, Sir R. Grant Captain Montague, Dr. Quarrier, and a number of officers of the garrison and of the magines and the squadron Thu visitors were highly gratified by the scene, and remained on board till late in the evening.

THE DISIIONEST CHURCHMEN AND TILE HONEST PUSEYITES —We rejoice to hear that there is es ery probility of " The Tract" nuisance being put down, and that in the simplest, shortest, and most effectual way. It is currently reported that the highest authority in the Church cf England has felt it to be his duty to interfere, and has laid an injuneti at, or some order equally hi o di r ,,,. on the editors of the °'m:A Tracts for the Ti," to cease from troubling the Churc h . It is ex p ected, therefore, - that the "poisonous" stream (the w o r d is Mr. lirou e own, and used with reference to these publications) will ceise to flow. At least, if such obedience is not yielded, and that promptly and implicitly, the authors and editors will stand convicted of having inculcated on 4,th ers a ru l e to which they are not willing to submit i per sons. Supposing the report to he n their own true, as we believe it to be, it is certain that his 1 -:race havelaid . the d, Churc o f England . ..under the deepest obli':; anon; ai remem bering his Gia;,.'s habitual caution and tenderness, we can hardly conceive a deeper rebuko, or a stronger con demnation, than the fact of Us having felt it a duty thus to exert his authority.— Tory Paper. EVEN I NG EDITION MALTA,-MARCH 15. Her Majesty's ships Edinburgh and Wasp left on the 3d instant for Syracuse, with orders, after watering thereat, to proceed, the former to Alexandria, the latter to Beyreut ; but on the arrival on the 9th of the French Government steamer, Acheron, bound to Alexandria, with M. de Bohan Chabot, the new Consul-General for Egypt, and which vessel is said to have brought advices that the French fleet is about to be re duced six ships of the line, and the crews of the remainder to be put upon a peace complement, the Electo steam-packet was immediately despatched to Syracuse, to convey instructions to the Edinburgh to re m t i n t h ere until' further orders, and to re cal the Wasp. The Alecto returned on the 11th, after a pas sage of only nine hours from Syracuse, and the Acheron went on to Alexandria on the 10th. In future, the (Great) Liver pool and Oriental will not wait the mails from the lonian Islands and Greece. The Dido was admitted to pratique on Friday, the sth it., and early on the 9th the Castor frigat e arr i ved off the port sheeport from eaitfa. in the Bay of Acre with a si gna l fl y i ng had the plague on board. Prompt measures were taken fear receiving her in the Quarantine Harbour of Alarsamuscetto, where si,e was immediately moored under proper gu ar d s op_ posite the new building. (Leached at some distance from the. Lazaret, erected expressly for a plague hospital, - wherein the officers and crew, without loss of tinie, were removed and se gregated in small w..rties in separate apartments, and their clothing, as well as the ship and every thing on board, will un dergo the same process of depuration which has been adopted with such complete success in the case of the Acheron and on several o:likr similar , ecasions. It appears that the Castor, which arrived at Caiffa on the 17th ult., received on board, under date of the 20th, two sick seamen of the crew of her Majesty's brig Zebra, wrecked thereat on the 2d of December, who have been ever since living ashore under tents, endeavouring to save as much as possib:e of the wreck. These men were supposed to be suffering from fever. On the 21st one man died ashore, where three others were taken ill : on the 22d one of the two brought on board on the 20th died, and four others were brought on board ill, whereupon the rest were embarked, always supposing it to be fever ; on the same night another died, wh, n a suspicion arose that it was plague, and accordingly it was resolved to quit the place without awaiting the return of some officers on leave. Between the 21st and the 26th, fourteen seamen, thirteen belonging to the Zebra, and only one to the Castor, had been attacked, ten of which cases had proved fatal, one before sail ing, and nine at sea, and she has now on board the remaining four men in a state of convalescence. Since the 27th ult. such were the precautions taken on hoard, that not a new case has occurred, and no death since the Bth instant, and in all probability the siisease, favoured likewise by the coolness of the season, has been already eradicated, but even should it break out afresh the public need not have the least apprehen sion, confined, as under the rigid sanatorvlaws of this island It must necessarily be to the limits of the plague hospital, a knowledge of which will, we trust, induce our foreign Consuls to make such a rep,rt to their several Governments upon the confidence which may be reposed in our sanator officers, as will not for a moment disturb our free communication in pratique with continental ports, though we have heard it ru moured that the Nearditan consul has already dissuaded pas sengers from leaving for Sicily, under the impression that they may be rejected, or at any rate subjected to a very long qua rantine. Commander Stopford and Air. Beale, midshipman, both late of the Zebra, and. Lieutenants Winthrop and Shat well, and Mr. Foley and Mr. lore, midshipmen all of the Castor, were left behind, having proceeded on an excursion to Jerusalem. The wreck of the Zebra, lying about two-and-a-half miles from the town of Caiffa, was broke up by the crew of the Castor, which brought down all the spars, stores, as well as the topmast and main-yard of the Pique. The Carysfort having had another case of small-pox, was not admitted to free pratique until the 9th instant. _ _ The Benbow arrived on the 10th from Marmorice Bay, all well, and TheMagicienne is the only vessel remaining ora the coast of Syria. The Revenge, from Suda in Candia, may be hourly looked for. The Princess Charlotte has already had some of her after guns dismounted, and cabins for Admiral Sir R. Stopford's family are being fitted up in contemplation of an early de parture. The Ganges left yesterday for Syracuse for a stock of water, and the Inconstant will leave shortly for Trieste and Venice, visiting afterwards all the principal intermediate continental ports as far as Barcelona, where she will take up her station for the summer. The Numa transport for England, with a detachment of the Royal Artillery, and some naval and military invalids on board, was towed out last night by the Confiance steamer. _ _ _ The Oriental and the Lotus steamers arrived from England early on the morning of the lath, and the Prometheus from Marseilles, with the overland London mails of the 4th inst in the evening. The Oriental proceeded on the 13th to Alexan dria, and the Medea is about to leave with despatches for Rear-admiral Sir J. A. Ommaney, letters for the squadron at Marmorice, and orders for all the ships to repair, a part to the lonian Islands and a part to Malta. The Locust was despatched on the evening of the 12th to Syracuse to order the Edinburgh to Malta, and after towing the said vessel to sea, she returned to Malta on the 14th. The Wasp left Syracuse at the same time. The Bellerophon, Edin burgh, and Hastings were ordered to England by the Oriental, but later despatches overland, by the Prometheus, have sus pended these orders until such time as the French effectively reduce their fleet, and the Turco-Egyptian question is defini tively settled.

The Ganges left for Syracuse on the 14th inst., and returns here after watering. The Cyclops and Hydra steam-frigates arrived on the 15th ; the former in two days and a half from Suda, in Candia, the latter from the same place, but last from Marmorice, in three days. We learn by these conveyances that Commodore Napier having arrived at Marmorice on the 2d inst. in the Stromboli from Alexandria, left again in the Powerful on the sth for Malta, and was followed on the 9th by the Howe. The Magicienne and Hazard arrived at Marmorice from the coast of Syria on the 28th ult., bringina . Colonel M`Cullarn and the remains of the Marine battalion, leaving the Artillery and Engineers, the only British troops in Syria, at Beyrout, but from whence they expected to be shortly withdrawn. The Stromboli left Marmorice on the Bth, with despatches , for Beyraut, and the Hazard on the 4th, and the Revenge on the Bth for Suda in Candia, where, but for the Vanguard and Hastings off there, and which vessels keep a strong force ready for disembarkation, the people would rise en masse, not being at ali contented with passing under the Ottoman yoke. It appears that 300 Candiote Greeks have established themselves in the mountains defying all authority, and vowing that their purpose was to possess themselves of the lands from which they had been originally expelled by the Turks. They were anxiously expecting a chief or leader, some say from Albania, others from Athens, and have a strong party of 4,500 in their favour among the inhabitan's. Greece, Russia, France, and the Pacha of Egypt are all at work to sow discord and strife, and but for the presence of the British force, blood shed would, and still will, perhaps, ensue. The Governor stands neutral in the broil. Rear-Admiral Sir John A. Ommanney, with his flag on board the Britannia, was lying at Marmorice on the 9th instant, with the Rodney, Calcutta, Cambridge, and Hecate, all which are, however, ordered to proceed to Corfu (whither Admiral Sir Robert Stopford proceeds in the Princess Char lotte very shortly), by the Medea, which took her departure for Marmorice, and thence to Candia on the 15th. The brave and gallant Commodore Sir Charles Napier is said to make no secret of his unfavourable opinion of the harsh conditions attached by the Sultan to the reinstatement of Mehemet Ali, and his Highness is gireatly encouraged thereby in his hope that Great Britain will in justice and equity see him righted. The Tyne left Corfu for Athens on. the Bth instant. The Espoir arrived at Gibraltar from Lisbon on the 3d instant, and the Lizard steamer on the 26th ult., from Plymouth. This last-mentioned vessel is to remain at Gibraltar at the disposi tion of the Governor of that garrison, in case he should at any time have any important communication to make to the naval Commander. in-Chief in the Mediterranean. The Sapphire troop-ship, with part of the 59th regiment, reached Gibraltar on the 24th ult., and sailed for Barbadoes on the 27th. The Asia on the 27th, and on n tl e l r e s_ the trans ) po ' rts Somersetshire with the 92d, and on the day These latter left again with the 47th, arrived all from Malta. with the Cornwall proceeded on the 23d for Barbadoes on the sth inst., with the 92d, for the same _destination,Heent with the 33d. ult. by the Boyne and Prince g of the Ganges, was last week Mr. W.

PERRY and CO. having effected considerable improvement in their FILTER INKSTAND, have now the pleasure to announce that a Second Patent has been granted to them for such improvement, which they have united with their First Patent, under the title •f " DOUBLE PA TENT PERRYAN FILTER INKSTAND." The eulogy bestowed on the Patent Filter Inkstand by the public Journals, and the preference obtained for them over the common Ink stands was almost unprecedented. The present novel and sci entific method of supplying Clear Ink to the Dipping Cup, and returning it into the reservoir, is exceedingly simple, the action being now performed by merely lifting up the lid to obtain a supply, anal shutting it down to withdraw it ; in this state it cannot •vet flow, whatever may be the change of temperature, and it is protected from dust or other injury in any place or climate. When the inkstand is filled, it is always ready for use, and th• writer will have a regular and daily supply of Clear Ink for four or six months. PERRYIAN LIMPID INK.

BADMINTON, THURSDAY.—There was a grand lawn meeting yesterday, when the Duke and Duch ess of Beaufort gave a splendid dejeuner to the Mayor and Corporation of Bristol, and a numerous party of the nobility and gentry of Gloucester. It being the last meet of the Duke's hounds at the lawn this season, the field was unusually brilliant, there being upwards of 1,200 equestrians and forty carriages, the greater number with four horses. The breakfast was screed up in princely style. The Duke was unable to join his friends in the chase on account of the injuries he sustained by being thrown from his horse last week, but was represented by Mr. Dixon, comptroller of the household. The weather vvas remarkably fine, and the hounds had an excellent run of forty-five minutes, when aro fox was run to ground. There were on the field upwards of 500 red coats, and altogether it was one of the best meetings ever witnessed in the country.

MARYLEBONE VESTRY.—On Saturday, at the ordinary weekly 'meting, Mr. Daniell in the chair, on a nicCon being made ann i.e.:ianded that 61. ss. should be paid Vi the Bishop of London for a faculty to auth or i ze mairi4gos, &c ,in the chapel .during the repairs at th e rectory church, Mr. Kensett objected to the payment of Vie moor y. He said that persons could as ewi' ybe married in the church dui g the repairs a; at . any other time, and instanced the couple who were married on the ruins of Old Camberwell church ; he opposed the payment of the money. Mr. Gomm and other vestrymen said that the bishop could enforce the demand against tie churchwar den, and recommended its liquidation. On a division the original motion was earr'ed by a large majority, and the vestry broke up. STAFFORD and RUGBY RAILWAY. (From the Railway Magazine.) Our readers will have perceived that, for some months past, we have not taken any part in support of this line, beyond a simple statement of facts as they have arisen. We have fancied, whether right or not we cannot tell, that all the efforts which might have been, and which the character and power of the op posing parties required should be, made, have not been to carry the measure out to a successful issue, and hence the cause of our saying so little about it ; but cur opinion of the merits of the project remains un changed. In regard to the conduct of the House in rejecting this measure, a few observations may not be out of place. It will be remembered that this is the third Session this line has hcen brought before Parliament. During the last Session but one 22 sitting days were consumed before the standing orders, and 459 objec tions, raised by the interested London and Birmingham Company, reduced to nil. Sixty-one days of business were also afterwards spent in the " Committee on the Bill," which drew up a Report recommending—because it was obvious the time had been eked out beyond that necessary for getting through the House—that " every fecility should be afforded to the promoters of the Bill in a future Session, which the rules of the House will admit of." The Bill, therefore, as far as it was possible, was actually promised by the Committee which represented the House, and, consequently by the House. What, therefore, must be the surprise of every considerate man, to see the Bill, upon its second reading, thrown out, and not permitted to go even to a Committee, or to attain the stage it did at the last Session! Lord Stanley might glorify himself that he has succeeded, by a little legerdemain, in tripping up the Bill, but has he not at the same time rendered this august assembly perfectly ridiculous in the eyes of all sober and thinking individuals? In the year 1839, the House, after the most searching and lengthened inquiry ever bestowed on any measure ever brought before it, virtually passes a Bill, and in the 'year 1841, the same House, without any additional reason assigned, and from the flippant observations of an individual evidently ignorant of the subject, and, what is worse, dealing out statements, if he is rightly reported, which are ipse facto untrue, rejected the self-same measure—that is, the measure it had previously approved, and, as far as it could, promised to pass. If the country is to witness such puerility and fickleness as this in the assembly of our representatives, what possible confidence can it have in its wisdom ? or, what respect for its decisions ? The vagrant wanderings of a weathercock would be just as certain, and the babble of a gossiping company of old women at tea as respectable. In the House we look for consistency at least, if we do not expect much wisdom ; but it would appear, by the late conduct on the Stafford and Rugby Railway, that even this element is a stranger at St. Stephen's. Lord Stanley has accused Sir Robert Peel of misre presenting the case of the Stafford and Rugby Rail way, but the fact is, it is Lord Statile' , himself who has been guilty of misrepresentation. He says the House is asked to sanction the spending one :million and a half to save ten minutes between Liverpool and London. Now, the House was asked no such thing. The House was asked to save nine mile , and a half; or about twenty minutes every journey for all the country north of Staf ford, and south of Rugby—that is, for Liverpool, Man chester, North Wales, Scotland, and London, &c., and above 54,0001. a-year money to the trading and tra velling population. The real object, therefore, of the line is to save one-third of an hour, and about half the expense, in the distance between Rugby and Stafford, objects which we should think well deserving the attentio❑ of the House. We are aware the Lon don and Birmingham say it will be only ten minutes, for they assert that ten or fifteen minutes will be lost at Rugby in the change of lines. No doubt they would reduce it to ten or five minutes, or make it a loss to that amount if they could ; but we imagine vexatious obstructions, if attempted, would soon be cured by the House, in the prolongation of the Stafford and Rugby line to London. So much alive are these worthies to this, that they promised, if the Bill had passed, they would afford every facility in their power to the new offset. But to return to Lord Stanley. _ Upon reading the Noble Lord's speech one is so struck with its child ish folly and absurdity, as to wonder what, in the name of all that is good, could have induced the House to pay any, the least attention to it ; in fact it is so supremely silly that we cannot help thinking either the Noble Lord is grossly misrepresented or he must have spoken after a more than usually good din ner. He says Sir Robert Peel had represented that the proposed railway " was for the benefit of the import ant towns of Liverpool and London, and would be of much service to the people of North Wales, Scotland, and Ireland," and then argues, " it might be so if there could be a terminus beyond a terminus. The real termini, and the only places that would benefit by th e c e ir io p n o . rt m an e t m to b t e v r ns m o e f an ß s Rugby and aitridnSiigtahft infoerdas.,u,re,l‘wrhearet t t h h be so if there could be a terminus beyond a terminus," surpasses our comprehension altogether, but the arrant nonsense of it, as applied to the subject in debate, induces us to imagine that his mind was ern. ployed upon his recent dinner while his lips were upon the railway, and that he meant to say "it might have been better for us if each had had a bottle beyond the bottle he took." However this may be, the observa tion of the Hon. Member, that " the only places that would benefit by the measure were the important towns of Rugby and Stafford," that is, the points where the line meets the two railways it joins, characterised by so much ignorance or misrepresentation, that we are asto nished the House had not seen it in a moment. Were the railway to terminate at each of these towns, Lord Stanley might have been partially right, but the merest tyro must see that, joining at those places, as it does, other lines extending far into the country, any benefits which accrue from its economy and abbreviation of time are enjoyed by all the places which use the rail way, however far beyond the point of junction north wards or southwards. By the decision of this question, the Parliament sanctions the high charges of the London and Birming ham on the public, and has recorded its opinion, that improvements shall not be made if they affect the inte rests of existing lines. We do not quarrel with this decision if it be openly avowed, but wherefore should the hypocritical cant of a regard for the public be so sedulously spread about ? Tell the public, openly and honestly, that the House does not care a fig for it, and that Parliament will listen to nothing for its advantage, and we shall be quite satisfied. Another argument, used by the London and Bir mingham, if argument it can be called, i s , that, because millions more will be required, the public must pay higher fares to support it. To attempt to reason with such men would be labour lost. It is true they them selves have charged pretty well upon the public, hut we should like to ask them if, wLen they went to Partin • ment to lay out their 21 millions to make their railway FAMILY LIBRARY, Vols. 76, 77, and 78.
