MORNING EDITION. JOURNALS , PIRIT of the FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. (From the Morning Chronicle.) The time is fast approaching which will put to the test the sincerity of Lord Stanley and the Tory party, and place the real nature of their Irish policy beyond the possibility of doubt. The charge against Lord Stanley is this—that his Registration Bill is an insidious mea sure; that under the ostensible object . of, providing a re medy against certain admitted abuses in the present system of Irish registration, it has two real objects in view, which its author is afraid to avow. The first, to cripple the strength of Liberal Ireland ; the second, to obtain a party triumph over Ministers. This charge Lord Stanley and his sup porters have constantly denied. They have indignantly protested against the imputation of being swayed by party motives or by hostility to Ireland. They have over and over again, and in the most solemn manner, assured the country that they were actuated by no other motives than those which they avowed ; viz., a disinterested desire to repress fraud and to discourage perjury. The second reading of Lori Morpeth's Bill will put these professions to the test. If the pi erention of fraud and perjury is the real object, the Tories will, as a matter of course, gladly ao:e for a Bill which effectually provides against the pos : ioility of doubt or evasion respecting the franchise. If, on the other hand, their real objects are those im putei to them by their opponents, it is more than pro bible that they will pitch Lord Stanley's measure against Lord Morpetb's, and tight the great party fight of the 'Session upon the ground of high registration. This is evident when we consider the real point at issue betwsen the two bills. The imperfect defi nition of the franchise in the Irish Reform Act is the admitted source of the evil with it is sought to re medy. The words " beneficat interest of the yeaely volue of 101.," admit of two co n structions. Otte of them would have the practical effect of narrowing the already meagre constituencies of Ireland to an extent which would virtually throw three-fourths of the representation into the hands of the Orange aris tocracy—a result which, it is admitted, is contrary to the spirit of the Catholic Emancipation Act, and contrary to the avowed expectation and intention of the framers of the Reform Bill. The other, which has been hitherto acted upon, avoids this evil, and secures to the popular voice of Ireland a tolerably fair share in tts representation; but does so at the cost of introducing very grave abuses, and holding out a strong temptation to fraud and perjury. Against these abuses Lord Stanley's Bill provides a partial remeidly by throwing great difficulties in the way of registration, forcing it in against indiscrimi nate access by a formidable array of legal technicalities which will prove an almost equal irapeeiment to the bone fide, as to the fictitious claimant, and, finally, by giving an appeal to the Judges upon all points, whether of legs construction or of fact. And yet the remedy is but par tial, for after all the question of construction, upon which all turns, remains doubtful. (From the Morning Posh.) The men at the Reform Club are laying wagers, and even, we are told, batting odds, that Parliament will be dissolved by the present Ministers of the Crown within a fortnight. We do not know, nor do we care, as we are sure the Conservatives will be found ready, whether there be any other foundation for all this betsing than mere con jecture. But such a conjecture so strongly entertained in such a quarter shows how mean and spiteful a set the pre sent Ministers of the Crown are in the estimation of those who ought to know them best. Nobody pretends to believe that Ministers, if they dissolve Parliament, will do so with the slightest expectation of having a majority in the new Hotise of Commons, and being thus enabled to retain their places. It is admitted on all hands that such an idea is too extravagant to have entered into the mind of any reasonable being; and why, then, do the partisans of Ministers speak so confidently of a dissolution ? There is no disguise or con cealment about the matter. It is because they know that Ministers must go out, and because they think that they are the kind of men who will do anything, no matter how inconvenient or detrimental to the country, to tie the hands of their successors in office, and to secure fur their own use, when they shall be in opposition, as large a share as possible of the representation of such places as, being the sorts of dockyards, arsenals, Royal residences, or other great public establishments, are, more or less, under the influence of the Administration of the day. It is proper and necessary that this should be well understood. And we hope the constituencies of Devonport, and Portsmouth, and Falmouth, and Chatham, and Windsor, and Brighton, and even Westminster itself; will take note of the insult and degradation that Ministers are said to have in store Lr them. (From the Morning Herald.) If Ministers have indulged in the fond hope, as was lately reported, of improving their position by resorting to a dissolution (f Parliament, we presume that the experi mental knowledge which the recent elections have afforded of the state of public feeling towards them has not ma tured that hope into confidence sufficiently strong to em bolden them to reduce the intention to practice. The idea of an " appeal to the country" may have been one of the day-dreams of the self-indulgent Melbourne, who hes shaped out for himself a sort of life which the luxurious Damocles at the banquet might envy, for the Premier sees no sword suspended by a single hair to mar, with the infusion of terror, nis voluptuous enjoyments. He has been fortunate hitherto, and he knows it; he expects to be more fortunate still. What but one of fortune's most " fan tastic freaks" could have made such a man Premier of England ? What but fortune's " constancy" can keep him there, showing to all the world that a Minister need not trouble himself about being useful to the State who is ornamental to the palace ? Yet that Lord Melbourre is his " roseate bower" sipping " nectar" like an epicu rean god, and enjoying celestial smiles at ambrosial re fectionsy has an occasional misgiving of not being quite us admired an " idol" outside the palace as within, was seen on the day of the opening of Parliament, when, be tween two fragments of a glittering and splendid caval cade, the Premier was dimly and doubtingly recognised in the studied privacy of a job-carriage, with a driver out of livery, which incognito was certainly net assumed from a modest and blushing anxiety to escape the anticipated applauses of the people. Conscious and sensitive worth might have had an alarm of that sort, but Lord Melbourne's consciousness" was of a different sort. It was much the same as that which made his political patron O'Connell, when on his northern repeal mission, steal into Belfast and steal out of it again with face averted and even "repeal-button" concealed frora the prying eyes of popular curiosity. " Head of Confucius !" might the great Fum Hoam exclaim, " what a monstrous bathos have we got here 1 An epicurean god in a job carriage ! But the bathos is not ours—it has originated with the :author of " the Premiership reformed." It is possible, as we have said, that the idea of an improvement in the posi tion of the Melbourne-O'Connell Administration, by a dissolution of Parliament, may have been only a day-dream of Lord Melbourne's. If so, we think he must have been awakened from that dream by this time. He must .have even his eyes, at least, half opened to another than a very brilliant vista opening upon Whig- Radi. cat destiuies in the distance of a general election, (From the Titws.) Rumours of an approaching dissolution of the Parlia ment called together by Lord Melbourne's Government in 1837, at the cAnniencament of a new reign, and with all the advantages which an unprecedented exercise of Pa lace influence was likely to command, continue to be cir culated. 'rise ground for these rumours is the very gene ral belief that the Ministry will be defeated upon the question of the registration of voters in Ireland, as that question has been raised upon the two Bills of Lord Stan ley and Lord Morpeth. Will a defeat upon that question warrant the Premier in advising her Majesty thus to exercise the Royal prerogative ?, Let us examine the main features of the two measures, first calling attention to the fact that Lord Stanley's Bill was last year carried through a second reading and into Committee by successive majo. rities against the whole strength which the Ministry could command. Lord Stanley proposes, as was proposed by the Bill introduced by the present Government in 1835, approved of by Mr. O'Connell, and es; ried through the House of Commons, that the registration shall be annual, as it is in England; that an appeal shall be allowed against the derision of the registering barrister, which appeal Lord Stanley extends (the Bill of 1835 being in that respect de fective) to the cases in which the barrister shall have ad sniped a voter upon the register ; that such appeal shall lie to the Judges of the Superior Courts at the assizes • and Lord Stanley further p roposes, in accordance with the scheme of several of the Registration Bills f or E ng l and introduced by the present Government, to discourage fri volous claims of a right to be registered, and frivo lous objections to voters, by enabling the barrister to award depots against the party making a frivolous claim or ebje c _ Pion. He proposes also to abolish the certificate of re gistry, which, by being at present made the evidence of the right to vote, has been found to occasion much fraud at elections, such certificates having fallen into the hands of men who have not scrupled to personate the original voter, though that voter may have been dead for years, or otherwise have become disentitled to vote. But Lord Stanley does not propose by his Bill to alter the franchise —in other words, be does not seek, in principle, to alter the Reform Bill. Lord Morpeth's Bill agrees with Lord Stanley's, in so tar as relates to the establishment of an annual registration and to the double appeal, to the aboli tion •f the certificate of registry as evidence of the right to vote. and to the barrister's power to ;;;ive costs in the case of frivolous objections. But the Government mea sure superadds provisions for registering at the Quarter Sessions; under it, ne matter how frivolous the claim, the barrister has no power to award costs against the claimant; it establishes, until some change shall take place in the voter's qualification, the right to vote of any party who shall once have proved it, thus affording a bonus to fraudulent and perjured testimony, which it is the avowed object of all parties to put down ; it gives the appeal, nut to the Judge of Maize, but to three barristers to be appointed by the Speaker; it pro poses to define the law as to the beneficial interest of the voter necessary to give a vote, in a manner Apposed at once to the known intentions of the Reform Bill, and to the solemnly expressed opinion of a large ma jority (we believe, ten to two) of the Irish Judges, to whom the question was referred some seven yeirs since; and finally, Lord Morpeth's Bill seeks to extend the fr an .eliise in Ireland to persons rated to the poor -rate at 5/ !! In other words, Lord Morpeth does seek to alter the M. form Bill in its essential principle—the franchise. Now, in order to consider the question of the propriety of t dis solution of Parliament by the Melbourne Ministry, let us assume that Lord Morneth's Bill will be rejected. I n .that case the House of Commons will adhere to the prin ciple of the finality of the Reform Bill, a principle asserted by Lord Althorp, but for whose assertion of it the Bill would most probably never have passed into a law. (From the Morning Advertiser.) As yet, the Parliamentary Session has progressed with anon than ordinary tranquillity, and the cause is easily ex llained. On all matt ers o f d omest i c policy, however oudly they .may bluster, the Tories are perfectly satisfied to abide by the status quo ; and in reference to foreign re lations, the brilliant successes which have in all paps of the world crowned our negotiations and our arms; not only leave the opponents of the Government nothing upon which to hang an opposition, but serve to make all hostile / • 7) We don't believe in this rumour of an imminent dis solution ; but we are not sorry to see the sort of effect it produces on the enemy. The Tories, then, are buck ling on their armour to light Me battle of Me monarchy. It must be acknowledged there is something more characteristic, than consistent with their purpose, in the preliminary skirmishes which they adventure in the cause of the monarchy. Tell me who are your com pany, says the proverb, and I will tell you who you are. (From the Standard.) The organs and dependents of the Administration re peat it with increasing confidence, that Parliament will be dissolved upon the first unfavourable divi sion on either Lord Stanley's or Lord Morpeth's Irish Registration Bill. Is this true ? Will Mi nisters dissolve' Parliament thi s y ear upon any conceivable contingency ? We think that it is true, and that the Parliament will be dissolved upon either of the contingencies supposed. Doubt less the presumption is very strong against the truth of whatever statements are made by the organs and dependents of the Whig Ministers ; doubtless, too, the threat of a dissolution may be supposed as designed merely to influence the votes of members, who know that they have no chance of sitting beyond the present Parliament. These are con siderations of great weight against the probability of a contemplated dissolution ; but there are consider ations of at least equal, if not greater, weight on the other side. The present Parliament was elected in 1837—it will therefore have attained the age of four years next summer, a greater age than any of the four or five preceding Parliaments--a much greater age than any of the Parliaments since the passing of the Reform Bill. It could scarcely be attempted to prolong the life of the pre sent Parliament to the fifth or sixth year ; and it it were, the general effect of successive insulated elections proves that long before the termination of that time Ministers would find themselves in a mi nority. The season, therefore, seems to have fully come when they must begin to think of putting " their house in order," if we, without irreverence, may use the phrase already desecrated by a Whig Lord. The question then is, whether a dissolution this year or next year threatens least of injury to the Administration ? and all the circumstances plainly re commend the present year. The English and Scotch registrations have uniformly and rapidly inclined to the Conservative side since 1835. In 1837 they gave a British majority to the Conservative party ; they would now give a majority of more than 100 ; and next year, according to the rate of increase of Con servative electors for six years, a majority of 130. The Irish registrations, too, are improving, though not so rapidly ; and Lord Stanley's Bill would purify them altogether, and give to the Conservatives at least 80 of the 105 Irish Members; but if Parliament be not dissolved, Lord Stanley's Bill must pass, and if it pass the return of the Whig-Radicals to power must be an impossibility for ever. (From the Courier.) In our last article on the subject of the ten per cent. clause in the Standing Orders of Parliament, we in stanced the inconvenience and loss to the subscribers and public, which arise from a number of small lines, or rather companies, being instituted to complete a chain of communication between any particular termini ; and, as an example, we mentioned the route from London to York. A parallel case occurs in a north-westerly direction instead of northeast, and there we find that be tueen London and Lancaster there are also four lines under four distinct Companies, one of which pays so large an interest as to render the Directors independent of all care as to the public convenience, so that if a second class passenger books to Liverpool or Manchester at the Euston-station, he is taken by a first class train in a second class carriage to Birmingham ; but the Grand Junction will carry no second class carriages in first class trains. The poor man, therefore, (or rather the original outsi,lo passenger by the stage coach) must pay first class fare and go in a first class carriage from Birmingham by the Grand Junction to either of the places for which he is booked. Who that knows the d:fFerence of capital expended on these, two companies, the Grand Junction and the Lon don and B:rminghain, would suppose, with all its supe rior appointments, that the latter company provides for the poorer man his accommodation, at his own price, and yet gives him the advantage of time, and that the former company, executed in the cheapest possible manner, even at the expense of its contractors, and with appointments at best of a second rate description, refuses this boon, which has always is all travelling been conceded, of having two fares in the histest coaches ? We are in stancing these evils, or defects in the system, to show that continuous lines should be on all principle, whether of economy or public convenience, under one control and one company, if possible. ----- Mr. O'Connell has addressed a Morning Con temporary on the subject of the subjoined paragraph, which appeared in the Observer of Sunday This we can undertake to declare, from positive knowledge, that the Irish people have not in any way tampered with the Government of France, and that, being excited against the Registration Bill of Lord Stanley, they deem that Bill, terrible and persecuting as it is, not quite so slavish as the electoral system of France." In his letter Mr. O'Connell readily assents to the truth of the first part of the paragraph, but denies the truth of the second portion of the paragraph. The Learned and Hon. Gentleman says—" The people of Ireland know that the French elec toral system is a bad one. But they know also and feel that Stanley's Bill is infinitely worse, more slavish, and more insulting. If they had a simple choice between both they would prefer, as the lesser evil of the two, the French to the English system."

Thus excluded from all favourable chance of making an assault upon the Government, the Tories rest their forlorn hope altos gether upon Lard Stanley's Anti-Irish Registration Bill —a Bill which, however approved by the despotic fac tion, as reducing the amount of popular representation, is deprecated by the more prudent of the Tories as calculated to excite amongst the people a spirit of in dignant opposition, which will not be appeased until fur ther extension be given to that franchise of which Lord Stanley aims at the limitation. Wisely provident for the approaching: exigency of the times, Lord Morpeth's Bill Tor the definition of the quali fication for the franchise, and the regulation of its regis try, opportunely indicates a disposition on the part of the Government to conciliate the advancing spirit of po pular intelligence. In these two Bills are most charac. teristically pourtrayed the features of despotic and liberal Governments. (From the Globe.) The Tory org ins affect to be exceedingly jubilant at the res sits of a tew snare elections, while, at the same Lime, ih.y lieg'n to quaver at the rumours of a general elee,i .n, which they Themselves put about, as impending, in case a check should be given to Ministers in the Com mons.. This exaggeration of triumph, and this betrayal of alarm, squally testify conssiousness where is their real strength, where their real weakness. Napoleon was once asked him he rcconcine I h's assertion that victory was always to numbers with the fact that his early cam paigns were a series of victories against very superior numbers. He replied that the positions were perfectly compatible ; as lie had always brought the great est numbers to bear on the points decisive of the day. Se the Tories bring the greatest weight of ;notch to bear on single elections ; but, at a general election, they fear to figure, like Napoleon taken, by the general rising of Europe, at once in front, flank, and rear. It is candid, though scarce discreet, to let us into the secret of their apprehensions. The Times, last week, fell into Commissioner Lin's style of mixed bulling and cajolery, deprecations, and injunctions of " intense trembling :" " They had better go out quietly, and leave others to diffuse light and order over the chaotic confusion and darkness in which both public and domestic affairs are now involved. But Ministers, us:fortunately, are not often either inclined by nature, or capable by discern ment, to choose the better part. They may, therefore, perhaps, dissolve! It is said they arc anxious, and think it but right, to give their friends a fair trial throughout the United Kingdom." '' Well," says the Spectator, " is not that exactly what the renovated Conservative host have been pray ing for, this year or two—a general engagement in the electoral field ?" We suspect Conservative valour is something of Falstaff's complexion—good at bullying beforehand, and demonstrations in public-houses. " Brave words 1 brave world ! Hostess ! my breakfast, come ! 0 I could wish this tavern were my drum 1" The Times of this morning is still in the same tone of alarm : " Let us earnestly press upon every Conservative to be up and stirring, so as to be prepared, in the event of such mischievous advice being tendered to the Crown, to fight the battle of the Constitution, ay, and of the Monarchy also !" THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1841 ITY NEWS MONE Y MA £30,000,000 Spain has found, therefore, a good and able financier Senhor Gambia. Espartero is borne out in suing .hat he would find half a dozen of honest rren to carry on the Government; and when the new bonds bear iete rest at five per cent., we shall be satisfied that the Spanish Government will see that, if they are determined to act with good faith in their future measures, their creditors will freely come forward to meet their convenience to wards payment of the dividends due next July in cash. They hold out a hope of fully doing so in their decree, if they find that they have the ability to do so. Where can the difficulty be with the security they can offer ? Have they not valuable mines ? I)o not their colonies all yield a surplus revenue ? Cannot economy be intro duced into every branch for collecting their revenue, and generally by simplifying their intricate accounts ? Will they take no example from surrounding States ? Is not the time arrived for reducing their army, and expenses. of heavy establishments, both for men and for the materials of war, now that peace is universally called for, and their power is consalidated ? Does not justice require that our claims should be attended td, and met with the same cor diality and good will as we evinced when they called upon us for our assistance in the time of need. " I would recommend that, if they cannot pay the whole interest next dividend day, that is, on the Ist of the ensu ing July, they should pay three per cent. in cash, and two pr cent. in the land warrants ; in this way there is provi sion made, you will observe, for au addition to the ten mil lions of newly-capitalized coupons, raising the amount to 13,200,0001., which would all be extinguished by Senor Geoub:, - It's measures, exclusive of a further redemption of twelve mitlions sterling of the consolidated debt. " By this means I say that the weanbier classes in the country, the landed proprietors, merchants, and manufac turers, would unite in a common feeling of confidence and security, and, as Lord Clarendon wisely anticipated, they would take an interest in the national property and the Government funds, and Spain would at length emerge from a state of supineness and thraldom to a feeling of concord and universal happiness. " If you should find any error in this statement, or in accuracy of any kind in figures or in argument, my design is not to court controversy, but to elicit truth and establish facts,,as well as to recommend justice and equity, and mo deration, as the most respectable way of settling the busi ness between the Spanish Government and the bondhol ders, and I shall be glad if you will correct it. " I remain, Sir, your most obedient servant, "London, Feb. 12, 1841. " A CREDITOR." We shall, perhaps, have some remarks to make here after on the above letter. In the meantime we shall only observe that wo do not understand the national domains to be included in the valuation of 20,000,0001. of church properties, and estimated to sell for 30,000,0001. The national domains, or at least the Crown lands, are sepa rate and distinct, according to our impression ; but we are not prepared to give a decided opinion on that subject a present. By papers laid before Parliament, we find that the total amount of the unfunded debt outstanding on the sth of January, 1841, was 22,272,675/. ls. 4d., and the amount of deficiency bilis outstanding on the Ist instant, charged on tho growing produce of tho consolidated fund, was 4,690,0001. By the abstract of the receipts an , 1 payments on account of the duties levied for the northern lights for the year 1539, it appears that The total receipts were £43,952 2 9 Add balance on hand 31st March, 1539, per abstract for 1535 69,803 8 5 The payments Balance.... £33,217 15 11 The expenditure on lighthouses for the year has been 14,1 . 271. 23. But there is a very questionable item in these account; under the bead et " half-yearly dinners to the Commissioners," stated in the account before us at " 175/. 55." equal to 350/. 103. per annum. This is clearly a waste of revenues drawn us a tax from the shipping in terest. It is somewhat unaccountable how so large a dinner bill could be mustered up, except by a very useless " gathering" of friends and guests to cat imd drink at the expense of the perple, or by a series of feeds. The Commissioners consist of a few lawyers, we be_ . lieve, and two or three Provosts of towns i 0 Scotland, but even if we were to state them at 12 in number, and allow a guest to each, in all 24, and give them the benefit of the " Clarendon prices," 31. a head, we should only have one dinner bill of 721. instead of 175/. The Commissioners dine, we suppose, at the public expense once a month. The charge should be (Fsaflowed alwgether. It is no thing but waste—downright waste of money drawn frog, the trade and enterpriza of the country. Then, again, we see 1881. put down as the charge; of a deputation of the Commissioners visiting little Ross Island and Lighthouse at the Mull of Galloway. A 3 there is an engineer at 7001. per annum, and a secretary at 500/. per annum, the visit of this " deputation" might have been dispensed with, or one Commissioner only sent to the spot, if absolutely necessary. POST.—The English funds have improved to the cx .ent of 4 per cent. on yesterday. The alarm felt in the first instance, as to the possible issue of the correspond ence of Mr. Fox and Mr. Forsyth, seems to be fast sub siding, but, beyond this, we arc not aware of any fresh cir cumstance having transpired that can be supposed to have influenced prices. The Money Market has, at all events, undergone no favourable change worthy of notice. The commercial information by the Express packet from Rio Janeiro, coming down to the 15th of December, pos sesses nothing of striking interest. The business done in exchange on the eve of the packet's departure bad been to a fair extent on London, at the rate of 31d. for drafts, at 60, and is some instances at 90, days' sight; on Hamburgh at 575r5. ; on Paris at 312 rs. No cause for the recent decline was to be assigned, any more than for the previous rise. There had, however, during the •L. been a falling off in the supplies of coffee, owing, n a measure, to the rainy weather, and to the elections [Or the. new House of Deputies, which, for the last few days had engrossed the attention of the popula tion of the province. The shipments in November were stated to be 104,188 bags (against 92,151 in November, 1839). The prices of this staple had risen in proportion to the decline in the exchange, being 150 to 200 rs higher than last advised. The sales for December had thus far amounted to 70,524 bags, leaving. a stock of 800 bags of all descriptions, and offering, for the moment, but little choice for purchases. Superior qualities were selling freely at from 3 800 to 4 milreis Very select parcels Fetched 4 200. In November there were cleared for *he United States 36,191 bags, against 21,927 bags in the corresponding month of 1839; 15,667 for the English Channel and England; 8,442 for Hamburgh; 3,204 for Antwerp ; 2,280 for Havre ; 3,456 for Trieste ; 1,447 fur the rest of the Mediterranean ; and 269 for the River 'Plate.

CH fIONICL E.—The funds continue firm, and the improved quotations of esterday were fully maintained. The feeling has been altogether better to.day, and the appearance of some of the leading Hebrew party as buyers has given additional confidence. We have received a communication on the subject of the recent proceedings of the Committee of Spanish bondholders, the substance of which follows : " TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING CHRONICLE. " Sir—Your City article of this morning's paper places the views of the Com m itte e o f Spanish Bond holders in a proper light, and suggested a right course to be pursued, that of showing the sources of power for liquidating the entire debt now to be capitalized, and also the benefit to the Spanish Government from the operation. " The Spanish Government, I believe, will be grate ful to the British publi c f or respinding, to their late decrees with such promptitude. It is expected by the creditors that their request fur an advance from three per cent., which is the proposed rate, to five per cent. interest on the capitalized coupons will be granted, as nothing could be mare just, seeing that the contract was clear, and spec ied payment of the interest half-yearly in cash, either in London or Paris. We may, therefore, consider the matter settled and cane firmed, and the sooner the arrangements take place, and the notice is published as an aiverthement from the Soa nish agents here, the better it will be for every one, now that the business has been so long pending, and so many delays have already occurred. " In your late statement of the Spanish resources, you mentioned that the property of the clergy, and, I presume, the national domains added thereto, amounts, by ' official valuation, to twenty millions sterling, and it is fully be lieved it will bring thirty millions.'

HAN WELL LUNATIC ASYLUM , TO THE EDITOR 01- THE SUN. Sir,--- As a rate-payer of the county of Middlesex, and consequently a contributor to the above establishment, and also taking a particular interest in the welfare of the unfor tunate class of afflicted beings who arc confined within itss walls, I attended the Sessions House, on Thursday last, to bear the discussion upon certain charges recently brought by the Rev. Mr. Trimmer, against the Visiting Justices, for misrepresentations contained in their It-iport, to the County, respecting the success of their recent expe riments in the treatment of the inmates of that asylum, I have read your Report of the proceedings, and I think it right to inform you that the most material points in the speeches of those Magistrates who supported the motion of Sir John S. Lillie, for an inquiry into the truth of those charges, against a system which entails upon the country so much additional expense, without any corres ponding advantages to the individuals upon whom it is practised, arc wholly omitted. The most disgusting case under the non-coercion sys tem appear to have occurred, and were detailed " usque ad nauseam," and it appeared that parties had succeeded, under that system, of committing suicide, who had unsuc cessfully attempted the same thing undo the previous one; and these facts clearly showed that the sbth Report of the Visiting Justices was incorrect. The further discussion stands adjourned till to-morrow, and I trust you will take such measures as will secure a full and fair report in the columns of your valuable jour nal, bearing in mind the quotation which Mr. Hughes Hughes, one of the Magistrates, who spoke at some length in supportof the inquiry, addressed to the Visiting Justices Audi alteram partem." I am, Sir, yours very obediently, THOMAS MARTIN. No. 1, Trinity-place, Charing-cross. Feb. 15, 1841.

One of the greatest obstacles to the prosperity of these valuable institutions the members find in their inability to obtein scientific lecturers ; this in small towns is most se riously felt, and has been the cause of the early dissolution of perhaps hundreds of Scientific., Literary, and Mechanics restitutions. Their limited funds being uneval to pro curing gentlemen of such high scientific attainments as to attract the public generally to the lecture-room, many well-meaning individuals have attempted by giving gra tuitous lectures to fill up this deficiency, particularly Dis senting Ministers ; but, however good their intentions, from not having received scientific education, and many being bad experimentalist* (numbers only reading the written lectures of others) they soon failed to attract, and the lectures were deserted. The only means to overcorrie this appears to be the asso cia;.ing together the institutions in the neighbouring towns, and by their united means obtain gentlemen of ability to deliver a course of lectures to each institution on terms within their means; by their thus mutually cooperating together for the generdl good, they might obtain valuable apparatus, which the funds of few institutions singly are equal to the purchase of, and perhaps the more expensive works in their libraries might be purchased and circulated between them. With a view of forming an association of the institutions in the county of Southampton, many corn munications and meetings have taken place between the scientific bodies in Winchester, Romsey, Southampton, Cowes, Newport, &c., but unfortunately without any buil ficial result. Better success has attended the north, and the " Manchester District Association" has just addressed all the institutions in the kingdom in a very able and spirited manner, from which we hope much good will arise, and a general co-operation be eventually obtained. The subject of the introduction of newspapers into Mechanic Instnutions is handled in such a masterly way as to bring conviction home to the most obstinate, that they of all others arc most likely to increase the interest and happi ness of those for whom these institutions were originally farmed, without their possibly being productive of those baneful effects which some very foolishly suppose. The introduction of music is also ably advocated. The whole deserves the serious attention of the friends to the diffusion I ' of useful knowledge. APPREHENSION OF A SUPPOSID MURDERER. —Our readers will recollect the barbarous murder of Mr. Alexander Tulloch, farmer, Ballintomb, in Morayshire, on the 17th of October last. The son-in-law of the deceased, Peter Cameron, who lived in the same house, was sus pected of the murder, but succeeded in escaping from the hands of the officers. He had lurked about the parish of Knockando ever since the date of the atrocious deed, and intelligence having been received of his place of conceal. ment, a party of officers went to the place. Cameron again escaped by a back window in the house, but a body of from ten to fifteen men followed him, and after a despe rate race of about twelve miles the unhappy men was taken on Saturday last, on the moor near the New lon, on the banks of the Findhorn. He was conveyed to the town of Forres, and thence to the town of Elgin, where he was fully committed for trial. — lnverness Courier. LIBERTY OF THE SUBJECT.---Mul impri soned twenty-one days without being brought before a Magistrate.—On Thursday a man named Thomas Ben nett, was brought before Mr. Maude, at the Borough Court, charged on suspicion with being a deserter from the army. Sergeant M‘Donnell, of the police, said the prisoner bad been apprehended on the 22d ult., and the head-quarters of the reg:ment from which he was sup posed to have deserted being at Youghall, in Ireland, a letter had been sent there, but no answer had yet come to band. IVIr. Maude (to the prisoner) : Da you confess to being a deserter ?—Prisoner: No, Sir, I am not a deserter; I never was in the army.—M‘Dennell : If you remand him till to-morrow, Sir, perhaps we may have an answer.— Mr. Maude : No, no, if he has been in custody since the 22d January there has been quite time enough for that ; he is discharged. —The prisoner left the bar hastily, aP parently very glad to regain his liberty after hi s extraor dinary inearcera tion.—Manches,fer Times. We are authorised to contradict the report of a marriage between Mr: Charles Kean and Miss Ellen Treo, there being not the slightest pretext for the rumour. KILRUSH PETTY SESSIONS. " Nene so deaf as those try — t don't wish to bean"— ; Old Play. When men are disposed to quarrel, more especially the mercurial children of Paddyland, small matter will suffice as " cause of action." " Colonel Montgomery," says an anecdote-compiler, " was shot in a duel about a dog ; Captain Mathews i,a one about a servant ; Sterna's father in one about a goose ; and another gentleman in one touching an acre of anchovies." What marvel, then, that Siney Culp :a (a gentleman following the peaceful occupation, albs requiring pluck, of feather-picker) should make I his debut with a nose like the towns on the coast of Syria, coesiderably damaged, and as palpable a black rye as ever the Frawley of I3endigo, tau n t, or Nick Ward in flicted while philandering in the fistie ring. Master Siny seemed determined from the commen ce ment to make an impression, and accordingly, witl t a vast show of priyaey, he produced a small bottle, a ad, wetting a piece of whity-brown paper, turned his b ack on the Bench, and patted with the nostrum his damaged ogle. When Was done, ''Tis the work, gintlemt •n," said Mr. Cushen, " of Tim Barrett, there—that boy that's stoopin' his head an' makin' h'lieve to ate the crown ov his hat. The dear knows 'tis no admire Lion he'd be ashamed to show his face afther the Luanne r in which he used mine."—(A laugh.) The individual alluded to, a " Master Slender "in proportions, togged in a cast-off military coat, for vi hich, when his measure was taken, be was evidently at sent, popped up his phiz at Siny's appeal, but he might have remained quiet, for a champion was at hand. " I lould the child a minit, Tim Barrett," exclaimed a little pi tnchy red-faced woman, whom we instantly conjecture) , and we were right in so doing, to be Mrs. Barrett i i erse if, and no other. " H ou ld the child, Tim," said sh e, de positing in his arms what Bulwer calls a pledge of n iutual affection. Tim did as he was bid, evidently much pleased with his charge. " Isn't id a hardship, my lard, your reverinces o' the binch," said our hi roine, " that honest, industherii, pains-takin', laborious,, finely keracthered people, ud be dhragged into coort be the like o' that sprisawn ? Eh, isn't id, gintlemen ? " Their worships intimated to the excited quet ,tioner, that they had not yet got into the matter, an 1 that she was net included in the charge. " Yot it hus band there is the only r erson summoned," • said a Magistrate. Mrs. Barrett looked all over the roof of the Court, and then took as accurate survey of Master C ;uslien's exterior, as if she were paid by the inch for s a doing, and then opened—" Why, thin, the Lord gr ant the mother ov five childer patience this day, but 'tis enough to—to—to tantalise people, so it is . Erra, misther Justice of the Pace, Tim Barrett is so deaf he would'ot bear a cannon."—(Laughter.) The aggrieved Mr. Cushen looked as ti ough he thought this was going a lectle too far. " Ol• . mercy, Mrs. Barrett, m'am," he inquired in a tremuli )us voice, and papering his eye as he spoke, " Whin 4 . id himself groW hard o' hearin'? Begor I'm acquaints i I wid the same man these six years, an' till this minit : i was full sure he'd hear the grass growin', if ever a man did. Oh! be the tare o' war 'tis surprisin' hot i suddint diseases comes on people." He then turned to the ac cused, " How long arc you so deaf, Tim Bar rett, might I ax ?" But Timotheus had his cue. " ' Don't cry, now, that's a lanna ma'chree, he was," said he, sooth ingly, and patting the dirty cap that cot stained his child's head ; " easy, now, an' we'll buy ce kes." He then clapped his listener close to the babel ; mouth, as if trying to catch its attempt at speech, amid I the laugh ter of all present. "Oh ! begor that's a nate young man," said Siny Cushen, dejectedly ; "all I know is, that he sthruek me in at Micky Roughen's, for breakin' hisdhudeen be accidint." Mrs. Barrett—" Whisht, you goose-expi nen Didn't I see you, wid me own two eyes, pelt a kir iwn o'turf at him, an' knock the top ov his pine off Oat ie an' clear, an he sthrivin' at the time to hear Mistb er Markham explainin' about the poor-laws. "On I know ; thrue for you, ma' 'am, returned Siny, winking his best eye, and bad was the best, and once more applied the wash to his of )tic, while he glanced pathetically. at the bench. Tim Barrett extended his hand, 1001 :ing as uncon scious as possible. " Give us the hand, Siny," he ex claimed. "Is id anything me wife an'y , 3 urself has agin each other ?" "Oh ! let bylines be by-Bones," • and he looked quite bewildered, replied Master Cushe . n, "I'll be gone home, so I will ;" and home he accord; ugly went. Mr. and Mrs. Barrett, having re ceived a lecture from the Bench, then withdrew. THUGGISM. (From the East Indian Tel ,graph.) MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE O F A NUMBER OF SEPoYS SUPPOSED TO HAVE FAl'" LEN VICTIMS TO THUGS.—It appears that twenty , nine sepoys of the Calcutta native militia had left tin ilia corps on leave at various times from 1834 up to .1838, but regarding whom authentic intelligence has not been received ; they are supposed to have fallen victims - to Thugs. Capt. W. C. Hollings, Assistant•Ch !neral Superintend ent, has forwarded a roll of the sepoys to Govern ment, soliciting that instructions no ly be issued to Mr. M'Farlane, the Chief Magistrate, Captain Birch, Su perintendent of Police,and the Mag ;strate of the twenty lour Pergunnabs, to make most I trict inquiries as to whether the system of murder by Thuggee prevails in the immediate vicinity of Calcutta . Captain Hollings is informed that Thugs have boats , and are in the habit of frequenting the ghauts in Cal cutta, and procuring passengers from the different bazt cars in the neighbour hood, and from the city itself. T acre are also, accord ing to what his approvers state, p arsons residing in Cal cutta, in league - with them, who 1 srocure them passen gers, supply them with informaA ion, and share their spoil. Captain Hollings is of o p inion that the circum stance of 29 men of a regiment, a 11 along stationed in Cal cutta, not being accounted f se, confirms the notion that Tiniggee does prevail, and many of them must have fallen victims to Thugs ; it is m c ,st improbable that the whole, or the greater part of t hem, should have died. In addition to the 29 sepoys, Cal stain Hollings mentions that he bad lately received rolls of 115 men belonging to the different regimentS now in the Presidency di vision who have gone on leave since the beginning of 1838, and hue not been heard of. Inquiries ought to be madras to the characters of the ghaut manjees, for they ars often associated with Th ugs, and, in fact, t,O of the most notorious Thugs in le, le gang of them still at large, are supposed to have been( formerly ghaut man jees. Captain Hollings's approa ere tell him that the system of Thuggee by murder de es prevail in the imme diate vicinity of Calcutta, an d that they themselves have been concerned in murth;rs quite ,elose to the city. They Alf° say that a murder n light be cc , mmitted in any of the ghauts without its being known, fo r so little are the Thugs suspected, as their boats gene rally are good and convenient for passengers, and the '1 kings are so practised in the arts of assuming ail kinds , 7f disguises ; and, moreover, they are generally of good castes and connexions ;—some pass off for travellers, others for traders and merchants, or any other cha, 'actor they choose to assume. If Thuggee does actual .Iv. exist, we doubt not that our active superintendent with hils deputy will soon he able to trace the, Thugs out. THE THUGGEE AFFAIR.--An inquest 'sat on the 2d of December, on the body of an old won ian, who was found strangled in her ho ase. The inqr test was pest poned to the 7th, and did not conclude till late in the evening of the Bth- Th.° inquiry has pr oved one of the most important we have lately had, in asmuch as it has conduced to the disclosure of the start!ing fact that the atrocities of the Thuggee system are p ractised, hitherto with unvaried impunity, in the hea rt o f the city. As the Coroner has made over the prisone Ire, three in number, one of whom has turned Queen's e vidence, to take their trial in the present sessions, we re train from giving the evidence of the case in full. - -- --- =---'-'.7----"=- MR.
