EVENING EDITION THE NON-INTRUSIONITS. The following accounts, taken from the Edinburgh Papers, will show what are the objects of Dr. Chalmers and the hypocritical party in the Scotch Church, in making such 'a noise about the Veto question. No thing could prove more clearly that the voice of the people is the last thing they think of ; and that the first is their own professional aggrandisement, or that of their friends. Would any man who has only 150/. a year, refuse 8001. a year, without giving any reason, unless he were afraid of the vengeance of the holy men for taking this valuable living from one of their favourite protegees ? As regards the living of North Leith, the best in Scotland next to Greenock, the parishioners may rest assured, that now, for the first time, they will have a pastor forced cn them by the vilest intrigues, and through the most hypocritical pretences of the very men who profess that no minister should be appointed in opposition to the will of the people. " If any one," says an Edinburgh paper, " wishes to know what would be the result of the pretended reforms of the Non-Intrusion men, let him now attend to what is passing, as regards the vacancies in North Leith and the Old Church in Edinburgh. North Leith is the best living in Scotland, and, strange to say, the stipend of 8001. is going a-begging, and can find nobody willing to accept it ! So far as we can judge, the Highflyers have taken the lead from the first in the congregation, and the consequence is, that they can name nobody who is not completely under the paw of the central club of agitators. The latter had set their hearts upon Mr. Tweedie of Aberdeen, and they have contrived to frus trate all attempts of the congregation to get any other minister. Mr. Main of Kilmarnock was proposed, and declined, for a reason plausible enough, but which might never perhaps have been heard of if his mind had net been influenced by private advice from the conclave. Mr. Fairbairn of Newhaven, who was also named, refused to stand ; and those may believe who choose, that he was not moved by private hints, but merely by an impulse of magnanimity, to prefer 150/. to 8001. A portion of the congregation then turned their eyes to Mr. Glover of the mushroom parish at the Calton Hill—we forget what Saint's name it bears—but he, too, though sub sisting on a small salary, was deaf as an adder to the charms of 800/. per annum It somehow fell out, that in whatever quarter, except one, application was made, it was unsuccessful. The committee, thus held in the toils of some invisible power, and baulked in their ef forts to have a free choice, decided in favour of Mr. 'fweedie. After the step was taken, the congrega tion, suspecting probably that the committee bad been jockeyed, became restive, and the following document, signed by 400 of the patrons, was sent off to Mr. Twee die, who has now refused the presentation, but, it is thought, may yet be ieduced to accept it by the private solicitations of the clique : ' REV. SIR,—We, the undersigned, heritors, elders, and inhabitants of the parish of North Leith, consider ing,—That the declared feeling of the congregation is decidedly against you as being fixed among us as our pastor : That undue means were used by your friends in causing Mr. Glover to withdraw his name, at the very n:oment when the people were eagerly signing his presentation, and to which above one hundred names were added in the course of an hour : And also the un warrantable means which have since been taken, under false representations, to induce ignorant persons to at tach their names to your presentation ; and that still, with all these means combined, you have but a tithe of the voters inviting you—Beg humbly, but firmly, to state, that we cannot believe such a presentation can ever be accepted, or that you, as a minister of the Gos pel, and a declared Non-Intrus'onist, will ever be in duced to think that such a settlement, under such cir cumstances, can either conduce to the glory of God— the welfare of the Church—the good of this people—or your own comfort." The previous proceedings are thus described in the Edinburgh Observer of Friday : " When the meeting of the patrons of the parish of North Leith took place, on the 4th instant, to con sider of Mr. 'l'weedic's acceptability, he being, in fact, the nominee, not of the parish, but of the Non- Intrusion clique in this city, a leading Non-Intrusion agitator of the Presbytery of Edinburgh was in the im mediate neighbourhood of the church during the whole day, and progress was reported to him every ten or fifteen minutes, and his advice taken as to the means that were there and then adopted, for the purpose of carrying Mr. Tweedie. He left the parish that day, much chagrined and disappointed at the resolution to present Mr. Glover. In consequence of this, a lead ing Non-Intrusion Elder of North Leith waited upon Mr. Glover the day of the meeting, and, after being closeted with him for a considerable time, prevailed 'on him to refuse the presentation. The Rev. Gen tleman had previously been importuned to the seine effect, by a gentleman who has taken great interest in fore arding the election of Mr. Tweedie. Mr. Glover having consented to refuse, the Non•lntrusionists then agreed to present Mr. Tweedie, at a meeting held for a totally different purpose—that of presenting Mr. Glover—and that without the knowledge of the patrons and people generally. The illegality of this p:oceeding is too apparent to require any comment." The same clique arc straining every nerve to get Mr. M‘ Naughton of Paisley appointed to the vacancy in the Old Church. It appears that all the acting elders, and a majority of the members of the present congregation, are in favour of Mr. Hamilton Buchanan. minister of Strathblane. The congregation, no doubt, is small ; but if the Council is to listen to any external influence, most certainly it should either be the voice of the congregation, or, what is still better, the voice of the parish, as exhibited by an actual poll of the adult inhabitants. We kcow that certain busy bodies, anxious to make up a case for Mr. M'Naughtan, are going about inducing persons, whose votes they can depend on, to take seats. In truth, a fair or honest decision would rarely be come to, if the election were to rest either with the communicants or the pa rishioners generally. The living would be considered ajob, which would be intrigued for and voted away, under the influence of private friendship, party feel ing, or momentary caprice, because the elector has not interest enough in the result to make him resist mo tives of this description. To get considerate and con scientious votes from persons in such a case, they must pay their clergyman as well as elect him. Men are al ways serious when they put their bands intheir pockets. TIIE NON-INTRUSIONISTS.—WC have only room to call attention to the proceedings of a public meet ing held here last week. The exposure and defeat of the Non-Intrusionists ryas complete. But for their agitation there is no likelihood that the Dissenters would have moved; and we have only to look to the respective num bers who attended the two meetings, and the different complexion of the proceedings, to see on which side public sympathy and sentiment preponderate. After nearly a week's notice by placards, and intimation from the pulpit, only about 300 muttered to hear Mr. Crichton, the knight errant of Non-Intrusion, and these consisted chiefly of females and children, with not a few Dissenters. The other meeting, called on the spur of the moment, after public notice of only a few hours, was attended by upwards of a thousand people, the great majority of whom were male adults, and the sense of the meeting was appealed to, and triumphantly obtained, at every step of the proceed ings. We recommend the perusal of ,the speeches to our readers, and especially to Mr. Macgill Crichton and the Non- I ntrusionists. —Kelso Chronicle. WILFUL MunnEn..—A Coroner's inquest has just been held az. East Hagbourne, near Wallingford, on the body of a labouring man named Cornelius Rymes, who died under most suspicious circu m st ances . It ap peared that frequent quarrds took pl ace between the de ceased and his wife, in consequenc e o f t h e letter having carried on an illicit intercourse with a man residing in the same parish named Grace ; and that on the day only before his death he WB3 taken exceedingly ill, h av i ng b een previously in good health. He called i n M r . B reech, a mefiical man, who, presuming . he was labourin g un d er the effects of dysentery, prescr.bedfor him accordingly. The next day, however, the man died, and a Jury W as immediately summoned to inquire into the cause of his death, suspicions having been entertained . that the de ceased had been murdered, in consequ ence of his wife having i'etused to suffer any of her neighbours to see him during his illness, and it having been ascertained that shortly be fore she had purchased some poison. —Mr. Breech de posed, that, assisted by another medical gentleman, he had opened the body of the deceased, and that. upon analysing the contents of the stomach, large quantities of poison were 'discovered, which had clearly caused death. The Jury, after a lengthened inquiry, returned a verdict of " Wilful anurthr against [fennel Rymes, the wife, as principal, and against Julin Grace, as an accessory before the fact." The Coroner immediately issued his warrant for their com mittal to Reading gaol, to take their trials at the next as- SIZe3 for the county of Burks, which will commence on the 2.lth inst. The Copyright Bill has been rejected by the House of Commons by a small mojority on the second read. ing. This augurs badly for all attempts to atain in ereased protection for inventors ; the same principle being involved in both cases. A measure for extending the copyright of patterns on printed calicoes and muslins has been since introduced into the Commons, and, judging from the opptiiition it met with on the first reading, it appears to have little chime. of success. The Cu. rious oinjection urged by Mr. Mark Philips, forms the strongest argument that could be adduced in favour of increased protection. lle admits that the extension of copyright in designs would be the moans of im proving- the manufacture ; his singular objection is, that ' they would be improved too much. The French manu facturers, lie says, would then be induced to copy our pat terns, and would send t%eir imitation goods, at a cheaper price, to the English market ! We could not wish to see a more complete illustration of the advantage of increasing the protection to inventors than such a state of things as Mr. Philips deprecates.—lnventors' Advocate. INFLUENCE OF CHEAP POSTAGE ON EDU CATION.—The evening school is attended by apprentices and young persons of bath sexes—amongst them is a mother of four children, some of whom are grown up, and reside at a considerable distance from her. Allured by the cheap postage, and the laudable desire of being able to reply to the letters of her children, she resolved, at the age of forty-five to learn to write. She has attended most regularly, along with a daugh ter, since the school opened in September, and very few of the scholars have made greater progress than has this energetic Roman. —Annual Reports f the Edinburgh Education Society fir 1640.

Ac cording to accounts received there from South Australia to the beginning of that month the colony was so inundated with su perabundant labour that the local Government had been forced to find them work by way of keeping them from starvation. By way, however, of getting rid of the burden and, as may be sup posed, of forcing down wages, public notice had been given that any one wanting labourers should apply to the Government office, and if the emigrant labourers would not agree to work at such wages as might be offered, it was notified that they would be left to sink or swim, that is to pine or starve, as the case might be. Such is the result of the fine tiles published and circulated here with such assiduity, on the strength of which poor people have been induced to sell their very beds from under them to pay their passage out and sink their little all for a start to the land of promise, where wages were said to be at ten shillings a day (beef being more or less about 2s. Gd. per pound), and nothing but prosperity to be seen according to land-sharking Gazettes. The following statement in the Sydney Herald will suffice to give an idea of the grand land speculations on foot of one company which Loot John Russell honoured with his company a day or two ago, and whose sordid money aspirations and speculations no one ought to be better acquainted with than himself. The New Zealand Company is, it appears, already doubling itself, and with the Chatham Islands, now surreptitiously secured, it may safely be predicted that there will be one or more additional land specu lations for each island, each being vaunted (as that of to-day) infinitely more fertile, rich, and magnificently remunerating than the preceding. As the secret and silent mover in these New Zealand anti other land speculations is said to br a person of the name of Edward Gibbon Wakefield, it would be as well if the public, or intending emigrants, were informed if the report be tiuc that, besides his very large interest in town sec tions and country sections, which somehow are made to-bear a profit of some hundreds per cent., he has an allowance of 60 0/. per annum, as stated, for the use of his colonisation principle. The said principle being of very old date in the United States if good for anything, and having been brought before the public here first in many very heavy articles in the Spectator by ono Mr. Gouger. Here is the version of the newest New Zealand Scheme. " THE CHATHAM ISLA sns.----The New Zealand Company's barque Cuba has returned to Port .Nicholson from the Chatham Islands. Mr. Hanson, the Company's agent, has succeeded in purchasing the whole of that group of islands for the Com pany. He describes Chatham Island, the largest of the group, and the only one that he visited, as containing abemt 500,000 acres. The land is generally fertile, and the appearance of the country partakes more of the character of an English landscape than any part of New Zealand which he visited. The hills are of moderate elevation and gentle slope, about two-thirds of the country consist of open country covered with fern, in some parts intermingled with flax, and would afford abundant pasturage for both cattle and sheep. Dr. Diefenbach, naturalist to the Company, discovered a bed of brown coal, in a small beach on the northern coast, and the strata of the shelly marl, when burnt, would make excellent lime. There are two safe harbours on the western coast for vessels of any burden, one named Port Wakefield in the southern, and another named Port Butt in the northern part of a deep bay. There are se veral beat harbours round the coast, and one for small ves sels, where the bed of coal was found. When the Cuba ar rived at the island the two branches of the Nate Awa tribe, by whom the place was inhabited, were at war. From the statement of the natives and of the masters of some American whalers lying in Port Wakefield, it appears that the war had been incited by a Captain Richards, who had promised to pur chase the southern part of the island from E. Malrri, the chief of the Nate Matunga, if he would drive out its rightful possessors. Although Mr. Hanson could not reconcile the conflicting parties, he succeeded in putting an end to the war by removing the weaker party to a strongly fortified pah, which they possessed in a remote part of the island, whither there was no prospect that their enemies would follow. Mr. Paddy, the surgeon of the Cuba, was left at Port Wakefield to keep possession for the Company. These islands are rapidly rising in importance. In the course of the last year nearly thirty American whalers have touched there for supplies. Two shore parties for whaling have been established there, one from Sydney, and one by Mr. Hanson, and it appears that of late years whales have been unusually abundant on their coasts, pro bably in consequence of their having been driven from Cook's Straits. We should be disposed to fear that when the news of the rurchase reaches England, there will be some danger of the English Government being forced to follow another band of adventurers.'

HEAD OF 'THE LAOCOON.—The following statement has appeared in the French papers, and is profes sedly container', in a letter from M. Valmore, an artist zt Brussels—" In the Gallery of the Duke d'Aremberg there are many things which are not known to any but the ini tiated. Among them is the original head of the Laocoon. This fin' group, when first discovered in Italy, was," as is genera ily known, " without the head of the lather, and an arm ;A one of the sons. The head was supplied by a cele brated artist, who copied it from an antique bas-relief. F,ome time afterwards, the original was found by s ome Venetian c innoisseurs, and was ultimately sold to the grand the Prince for about 160,000 francs, an d bfartohuegrhtelo Brussels, When Napoleon, during the Con sulate, had the group transported into France, he knew that the real head was in possession of the Duke, and of fered him its weight in gold for it. This was refused ; and as it was known t hat Napoleon was not scrupulous in gratifying his desires, the Duke d'Aremberg sent this chef- dauv e to Dresden, where it remained concealed for ten years, but was brought back again into Brussels, when Belgium became tranquil. A cast from the head now on the statute is placed by the side of the original, and the vast difference between the two is at once evident." TIIE LATE RICHARD PAGE, ESQ.—Died on Tuesday last. Richard Page, Esq , the well-known author of the " Letters on the Currency, by Daniel Hard castle." Mr. Page had latterly been very ill with an in ternal complaint, but, for a few days before his death, it was hoped that be would gradually recover ; and, indeed, he had never been thought in immediate danger. Ile ap pears to have died from complete exhaustion of the system, brought on by laborious exertions and intense study. Ills labours dtuiag the sitting of the Bank Committee last Ses sion were excessive. Mr. Page was greatly esteemed by his numerous friends, and though opinions may vary witls respect to his views regarding the currency, there can be but one opinion with respect to his private worth.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARYLEBONE. Tuesday Mr. David Home, of No. 4, York-street, Glou ceiter-gate, Regent's-park, appeared before the sitting Magis trate, Sir. RawniNso 0, upon a summons obtained against him under clause 54, article 10, of the New Police Act, which ren ders a person liable to a penalty not exceeding 405., for affixing any posting bill or other paper, against or upon any building, &c., without the consent of the owner or occupier thereof. The complainant in the case was Sir Felix Booth, Bart., for whom Mr. Tilson, solicitor, attended. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Hum phreys appeared for the defendant. It appeared in evidence that Mr. Home on the 6th inst. called at the house of Sir Felix, and presented his card to the footman, who refused to take it in to his master, whereupon Mr. Home tied to the knocker his card, upon which was written —" Sir Felix Booth,—Mr. Home calls for payment, &e., due to him under the ( ) Red of 1835. 6th Feb., 1841." _ . Mr. Bodkin expressed his opinion that the present informa tion came neither within the letter nor spirit of the Act, as the article in the 54th clause, under whist' the summons was granted appeared to be levelled against that class of persons who defaced a building by posting bills or other papers against it, which pro ceeding was clearly a nuisance, and beyond all doubt rendered the offender amenable to a pcmalty under the clause previously re ferred to. The defendant was the inventor of a new process for the distillation of brandy, and had entered into an agreement with Sir Felix Booth, to whom he had imparted the secret, the conditions of which agreement were that he was to receive an annual stipend, together with a fper centage upon each gallon disposed of. On the sth of February instant a letter, oil the part of Sir Felix, was addressedto defendant by Messrs. Tilson, setting forth that he might exercise his right of going to the dis tillery to inspect the books, for the purpose of satisfying himself as to the quantity of brandy manufactured, and the amount of money received thereon. He proceeded thither, but a sight of the books beir , denied him he repaired to the private resi dence of Sir Felix Booth. It appears by the card that he went there for money due to him, but the servant, as had al ready been deposed to, refused to take his card; and to prove that money was really due to him upwards of 5001. was paid to him by Messrs. Tilson on the 10th instant, four days after the alleged offence was committed. Defendant—The amount I received was 6234 Ss. Mr. RAWLINSON said that all the tumult and unpleasantness might have been prevented had the servant taken in the card when presented to hint by defendant. Under all the circum stances, he did not consider that the charge brought forward came within the spirit of the Act of Parliament ; and he should therefore dismiss the summons. He, however, strongly recom mended defendant not to pursue the same course again. The parties then retired. A GENUINE PATRIARCH.—From a friend, resi drmt at Scudeburgh; we learn that there is at present alive in the island of Harris, a man who was born in 1730, and leas attained, or rather turned, the 110th year of his age. From his youth upwards, he has cherished all the feelings that constitute the true Celtic character, and was deemed trustworthy enough to become one of the attendants of Mr. M'Lcod, tacksman of Bernera, during his sojourn in a hiding-place that blood-hounds could not reach, subse quent to the disastrous battle of Culloden. The spot chcren was Uamba Ulludal ; and while thus secreted, he fared better than Baron 13radwardina, by clansmen and friends, who supplied him with venison, mutton, fish, and other necessaries, obtained by hunting dexterity, or otherwise, and served according to the rude fashion of the times. The name of this individual, who has seen generation after generation committed to the grave, is John Martin ; his faculties of speech, sight, and hearing, are unimpaired, and he is still so hale in bodily health, that, in good weather, be think: nothing of travel ling to the top of the highest hill in Harris. Our friend conversed with him very lately, and as he has bad no feet gear for the last three or four years, very kindly sent him a pair of shoes. In youth he was remarkably swift of foot, and, up to the age of sixty, could out-run and seize a sheep on the steepest hill side. Even John Merrylegs, the English pedestrian, would have found hint an ugly customer, more particularly had the race ground been the forest of Harris. Old as he is, he was never so far south as Skye ; with Stornaway he is equally unacquainted, and good as his legs have long been, fortune has so chained him to a narrow locality, that he bears a narrow resem blance to the Christian Bobbiner, besung by a Cowper, " who never travelled forty miles from home."—Scots Paper. The Army of India is over-worked—carrying on widely-extended operations with a force not adeaptate foe the preservation of the Empire in a state of peace. The Native army must ho increased to a great extent, for though Europeans are essential to the safety of the coon try, there are numerous stations and endless duties for which the Sipaheo regiments are beet adapted, 'Tim Duke o f Wellington, it is well known, once recommended the employment of at least 30,000 Europeans in India, at a time when our territories were not extended as they now are. The Duke would now recommend, or we much mis. take, at least 40,000 Europeans, and a very extensive augmentation of thus Native forces. So long as the Na tive Courts of India see us robbing one station of its troops to protect another—seeing corps split into parts and eking out the duties, by neglecting. important posts, that a show of force may he made,—?o long, wo assert, will the Native Princes keep up agitation against our rule, and render us unable to carry out projects of improvement for the joint benefit of India and Great Britain. Her Majesty's regiments are severe sufferers under this system. They cannot be relieved—the pressing necessity for their services preclude justice. The 6th Foot is still serving part in India and part in Arabia, though it has been on Foreign Service since 1821.

LONDON : WEDNESDAY, FEBRLTARY 17, 1841. The Peers were exclusi -- vely occupied yesterday -.,-- with the trial o f th e E ar l of CARDIGAN. The Commons met as usual; Mr. MORGAN took his seat for Monmouthshire. Several petiti ons wer e presented, including some for additi ona l. Church accommodation, and One . from Glas gow complaining that the grie vances as to the trade with Java remain unre dressed. Mr. CRESSIVELL moved for a Committee of th.: House, on the 23dinst., to corisiderofan Address to her MAJESTY to make good the Danish claims, and, after a smart debate, carried his motion against the CHANCELLOR of the Ex- CHEQUER by 127 to 96. Mr. RICH moved for leave to bring in a Bill to provide for the execution of criminals in gaols, in the presence of some authorised persons; but finding that the House was against the proposi tion, withdrew it. Mr. M. PHILLIPS then moved for the appoint ment of a Committee to consider of the . propriety of allowing the exportation of machinery. We have not room to abridge the debate which en sued, and must content ourselves with stating that the motion was agreed to. The LORD ADVOCATE obtained leave to bring in a Bill to amend the registration of voters in Scotland. The Committee to inquire into emigration from the Highlands was appointed; and at Half-past Eleven the House adjourned. The trial of the Earl of CARDIGAN began and terminated yesterday, in an unanimous verdict of acquittal. The public have never, from the first report of the case reaching their ears, had the smallest doubt that the person whom the Earl of CARDIGAN fired at and wounded was Captain . HARVEY TUCKETT. He so gave his name; it was so set down in the depositions ; it was so stated and never contradicted in the public journals; but, because this notorious fact was not legally proved, all their LordshipS, upon their honour, pronounced the Earl of CAR DIGAN not guilty. The Duke of CLEVELAND said " not legally guilty," as if he wished toliave a salve for his conscience. It must henceforth be considered a very doubtful Matter whether the Earl of CARDIGAN ever fought a duel at all with Captain HARVEY TUCKETT on Wimbledon Common; and the chief result of the great. and expensive preparations for the trial has been,.ac- COrding to the. verdict of their Lordships, to throw mistrust on the best accredited portions of human testimony. Who the Earl of CArtnia.Art, fought with will probably be for our posterity' a puzzling, mystical question, like the: man of the iron -mask, or the authorship of " Junius." Why legal proof was not brought, or why,, if the prosecutors knew that legal proof could not be brought, the prosecution was not long ago • abandoned, is not for us to say ; nor do we re gret either their perseverance or their . failure. The trial has revived amongst us some knowledge of the grotesque forms of ourancestors, and has brought under public notice and discussion some of the privileges of the Peers. By an example we have been made sensible of the care which they take to protect themselves, whatever value they may set on the lives of the people. That the pro ceedings will enhance the respect of the people for the Peers, or their reverence for the forms..of the Constitution, we will not take. on us to assert, for the only appellations we have heard,applied to the trial; .is " farce," " humbug," and " mockery ofjustice." We have frequently had occasion to observe that, on the part of every Government,' whether Wing or Tory, there always exists an astonishing degree of shyness to establish precedents which how_ st men might employ for honest . purposes. If a precedent is wanted to increase the Civil List, or the Pension List, or any other list which tends to augment the influence of the Crown and the aristocracy at the expense of the people, Ministers are no way scrupulous about the crea tion of a dozen precedents, if one be not supposed enough; but if a precedent is reqUired to show that the people cannot be plundered of their property by the Crown without the right of demanding compensation from the House of Corn mons,. then Ministers, and ex-Ministers, Whig and Tory, take the- alarm, and all at once their eyes become opened to the dreadful danger of establishing a precedent. This was painfully conspicuous in the course of the debate in the House of Commons last night upon the Danish claims. Whether the claims were well or ill-founded—whether they ought in justice to be received or rejected by the House,of Com mons—appeared a secondary consideration to the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, Mr. GOUL BURN., and Lord J. RUSSELL, compared with the danger of establishing an honest precedent ! Was there no danger in, establishing a dishonest one ? Was there no danger to public security—to the national reliance upon the good faith of the votes of the House of Commons, in rejecting claims which thatflouse had twice re cognised as just and equitable ? The CHANCEL LOR of the EXCHEQUER is afraid that if the Danish claims, admitted by Parliament to be well founded, be liquidated,.we shall have a de-.. mand made upon the country_ for Spanish claims. _And why not e if such claims arc equitable.? What! shall we cheat one class of creditors to prevent our being sued by another class whom we previously. defrauded ? Is. this . the national morality now preached by an English Chancel lor of the Exchequer? Lord JouN RUSSELL takes fright at what may occur in the event of wars breaking out hereafter. We will not insult the Noble Lord by supposi lig for an instant that he contemplates th e possi bility of our ever again engaging in hostilities so disgraceful to the national flag as those which provoked Denmark in 1807 to declare war against England. The bombardment of Copenhagen was one of those events which the presumed necessity of self-defence at that time alone pre-. vents us from pronouncing piratical and atrocious. Under other circumstances it would havebeen pro perly denominated an expedition of buccaneers. But the House of Commons having now thrice admitted the justice of these claims, we feel con fident that the Government will not be suffered to postpone their settlement any longer. If, in addition to the 127 who voted in favour of Mr. CRESSWELL'S motion last night, we add 74 Mem bers who voted on a former occasion, but who were not in the House last night at the divi sion, we shall have 201 votes given in favour of the claimants. Let us add to this number a hundred votes paired off, and we. have 301 votes for upholding the reputation of the House, and against the paltry economy of the CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, who appears indiffe rent to the inconsistency of its votes, provided he can effect a saving to the Crown of the trifling stun of 225,000/. We say •to the Crown, for, as 'Mr. O'CONNELL has again and. again stated, all the money sought by the claimants, and much more, was seized by GEORGE IV. for the embellishment of Wind sor Castle, and other purposes suitable to the tastes of that profligate Sovereign. But we have not space to dwell at any length upon this important sub.;ect to-day. The crowded state of our columns prevents it. We shall, however, return to it again and again, in the event of immediate justice being withheld from the Danish claimants.. Letters from Constantinople to the 13th ult. inclusive have reached us. The settlement of the Eastern question had been followed by the appointment of the following tax-collectors for Syria : Moussa Effendi to Damascus, Sarem Effendi to Acre, Hagi Edhem Effendi to Adana, and Sebib Effendi to Aleppo. Said Bey has been named Muhariri or Registrar of Trebisonde, Se bib Effendi has been replaced in the direction of quarantipe by Ismael Bey. late Muhassul of Seio, and Hagi Akif Effendi has succeeded Hagi Edhem Effendi, as President of the Board of Orduince. • Nourri Effendi has succeeded - in bringing Musts pha I'acha of Candia to reason, and has persuaded him to sub mit quietly to the authority of his Sovereign, without having recourse to violent measures. It appears from letters from Lisbon of the Bth inst. that the reported appearance of DON MIGUEL in France created a great sensation there. But as it called forth assurances of sym pathy and support not only from the French and English Ambassadors, but likewise from ESPAR TERO, as Chief of the Spanish Regency, it will have a tendency to strengthen the Government of . Queen DONNA MARIA. The Address in an swer to the Speech from the Throne was voted by a Ministerial majority of 77 votes against 25. A still stronger majority (77 against 18) rejected a proposal for admitting foreign corn for the purpose of transhipment. The Corn-law men have it all their own way in Portugal as well as in England. How long will the starving multitudes submit tamely to this ? The following extract from a letter of the ..zth inst. from Lisbon, gives an account of the dreadful state of the weather there : We have been suffering for this week past under most tre mendous gales of wind from S.W., accompanied by &loges of rain. The Royal 'tar, with the London mail of the 30th, Inc on the sth, only arrived this morning. The sea off the bar is described as being the most terrific ever remembered. A vessel from St. Übes was wrecked two days since there, and all on board. perished. A waterspout burst at Rio de Aloura, near Cintra, yesterday, and completely destroyed an oralge grove, washing away everything and breaking up seve ral houses. I have not heard if any lives were lost. The iron gates of the Marquis Pombal's palace, at Oeiria, near CAS cars, were carried off by the flood. All the low grounds up the Tagus are completely under water. The Iberia, which takes this letter, was 48 hours coming here front Cadiz. half which time was spent in beating round Cape St. Vincent. It is blowing a strong gale of wind from S.W. at the present mo ment. The French Journals of Monday announce the appointment of the Commission on that day in the Chamber of Peers, to report upon the Forti fications of Paris Bill, and they add, what ceases to surprise us , name ly, that the Bill will be op pos<'d by several of their Lordships who have hitherto -supported • every measure in the least agreeable to the Court. It appears that the Peers are the-principal proprietors of the houses and grounds forming and adjoining the proposed sites of the forts and walls, and therefore they will oppose the Bill because it will depreciate the value of their property. This is said to af ford a complete clue to the anticipated opposition to the Bill in the Chamber of Peers. We are still of opinion, nevertheless, that it will be adopted by a very large majority. There was a rumour in Paris on Monday even ing that a revolution had taken place in Constan tinople„ and that the Sultan A13115-UL-MEDJID had been dethroned. We do not think that there is any truth whatever in this rumour. Most probably it has originated in some change in the Turkish Cabinet, an event for some .weeks past daily expected. On the subject of the suppression of the con vents.of the canton. of Argau, we find the follow- Mg in one of the papers : The Emperor of Austria protests formally against the aboli tion of -the convents, as being the descendant a the House of Hapsburgh, by whom the convents of Wettingen and Muni Were founded. His Imperial Majesty is stated to have made an ex press reservation against all acts alienating the bequests of his ancestors from their original purpose. The Revue des Deux Mondes of Monday has the following article upon the remonstrances ad dressed to the French Government by three of • the Four Great Powers : It is sail that the fortifications of Paris are not the only source of uneasiness to our neighbours. It is staled that after the observations of Austria and Prussia on our land armaments came those of the British Cabinet on our maritime ones—on the strength of our navy in the Mediterranean. A strange un easiness on the part of a Power which covers every sea with its vessels, which is not scrupulous at planting its flag on territo ries which do not belong to it, and which boldly progresses from conquest to conquest, as if there were no other States in the world but England and the countries which she usurps. The reply was, it is said, the same as that which was made to the Governments beyond the Rhine. France arms because it suits her to do so, and she is her own mistress. Arm if you like, if it suits you : we shall ask you for no explanation, we have no fear. Let England do the same ; let her double, if she thinks proper, her forces in the Mediterranean. France has 'no observation to make upon it ; she admits of none against herself. This is strange language to put into the mouth .ot France—language which France could not em ploy without . provoking war. Three 'medical men having. signed a certificate that the editOr of the National was in such a pre carious state of health that he could not attend at the Bar of the Peers, without endangering his life, this certificate has been returned .to the Chamber as au answer to the Peers' summons for his attendance. The National which states this, adds, that if the Peers are dissatisfied they are welcome to follow any course they please. The Peers will act prudently in accepting the certificate, and fully discharging the order for attendance at their Bar. A private letter from Arzew in Algeria, dated the 2d of February, arid published in the Coustitutionuel, contains the following news:— " The Emir Abd-el-Kader has partly reconstituted his in fantry ; the activity of this Chief is truly surprising—he struggles with a constantly victorious perseverance against all the embarrassments which his rivals throw in his way, and against the continual losses which we cause him to suffer. " The regular battalions have been newly formed, with Kalongis of Tlemecen Kabyles, of the environs of Nedroma, and some Maroquese, attracted by hopes of high pay ; it is even affirmed that the Emir has made a solid peace with Tedgoni, and that the latter has furnished him with two hundred men, reported to be the best marksmen in the country. " At present, however, only the infantry is now under arms ; it is composed of five battalions, of 900 or 950 men each, and occupies at this moment Tedekempt and Tlenrieeen. The cavalry being entirely composed of Arabs, is still dispersed amongst the tribes, but will be ready at the fiost signa. The general distribution of the troops is entirely different from that which the plans of the Emir last year determined. " The Arabs will - avoid a combat whenever we offer it, but they will constantly hover about us, watching for favourable opportunities to surprise us. This plan appears from the orders which have been given within these few days to the several Kaids. Thus the Kaid of Borgia is to join the Kaids of the Medgeer, of the Besni-Zerouald, of the flachems of the Ouled- Chat agas, and protest the vast plain of the liabrah, which leads to Kalah, Mascara, and Oran, by that of the Sig. Two regular battalions are to second the movements of this cavalry, which is the best mounted and the most warlike in the pro vince."—Le Commerce. ERRATUM.—The following paragraph was by accident omitted from the leader yesterday, re ferring to the mortality in Manchester and Glas gow :—" Taking the lowest estimate, however, of one-third, and mentioning that the number of deaths in Manchester in 1840 was 9,276, it fol lows that 3,092 deaths were caused in Manchester alone last year by the Corn-law. The popula tion of Manchester is 280,000, or about 1-86th part of the population. Including in our esti mate only the town population, and taking that of Manchester as 1-43 d part of the whole, in stead of 1-86th, the number of deaths caused by the Corn-law was very little less than 9,000 in the year. Such are the more horrible effects of a law extending over a whole community, and limiting its supply of food, than of any great battle, or any species of traffic, however nume rous may be its victims." cc THE CHINA SUN," Which was lately RE-PUBLISHED, IS NOW ON SALE.

We stated - in our paper of Monday last, on the au thority of the Carnarvon Herald, that a gamekeeper, in the service of Mr. Edward Lloyd, of Rhuggatt, named Evan Evans, had . disappeared, and was supposed to have been murdered by a tailor, named Edward Chubb. In searching the house of Chubb clothes were found with blood upon them, which corresponded with the descrip tion given by the wife of Evans of the clothes he wore at the time of his disappearance. But there being no evidence on which to charge him with the murder, he was committed on a charge of sheep stealing, a quantity sheep skins having been found in his house. It appears that the wife of the prisoner has subse quently stated, that on his return home on the evening of the keeper's disappearance, ho told her that 'he, had " settled Evans," that he.had called him out on the Sa turday night in the way before spoken of, and had led him about two miles from his house, pretending to show him some snares that had been set ; that during the walk he bad tried to shoot him from behind no less than three times, but that each time his pistol had missed .fire, and that the gamekeeper, being deaf, did not tear the noise, and mistook the flashing in the pan for a gleam of lightning ; that having failed in these attempts he led him to the bank of a certain slate quarry, which be described, and having told him to look about for the wires, struck him with the pistol from behind, and thrust him over into the water; that there was a fall of 25 yards to the water, and that the pool was six yards deep. In consequence of this statement the pool referred to was submitted to a rigorous search, and several men were employed for four hours breaking up the ice, which had accumulated over it. A small boat used for fish ing (a coricle) was then let down, by which means the body was soon discovered, but the boat not being strong enough to raise it, another man was let down by ropes, who succeeded in bringing the body up. An inquest was held on the body on Monday and Tuesday, at which the evidence of 35 witnesses was re ceived ; but beyond the statement of the wife of the prisoner regarding what he had said to her, there was nothing elicited, except. evidence of a circumstantial character. The testimony of these witnesses, although far from conclusive as to the guilt of the prisoner, was quite sufficient in the minds of the jurors to justify their verdict of " Wilful Murder against Edward Chubb," which they returned accordingly. Her Majesty the Queen Dowager, attended by the Countess of Sheffield, visited her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent yesterday, at Ingestrie House. We are very, much gratified to learn that the usual Lent performances of the Sacred Harmonic Society, in Exeter Hall will commence to-morrow with Handel's favourite Oratorio, Judas Maccabesus. THE KNOCKANDO MURDER.—Cameron, the supposed murderer of Mr. Tuned', has been apprehended. On Saturday mornin g he was found concealed at Aultnachoch, but no sooner was,hishiding place disisovered than he emerged from it, and bounded off with the speed of a racehorse. At length, however, he was taken. The pursuit appears to have been almost unprecedented. It was about nine o'clock A.k. when Cameron was first started from his hiding place, and it was not till one o'clock P.M. that he was secured, and that too after a hard run of fully fifteen miles over a mountainous, and, at ',re sent, almost impassable tract. Cameron underwent an exami. nation before the Sheriff immediately on his arrival here, the result of which is very properly kept secret ; but it' is gener ally understood that he admits his guilt. Indeed he did so to the officers on his capture. It is reported that he had stated to some of his friends that it was not his intention to murder Mr. Tulloch, but merely to inflict such an injury as would disable him from visiting the female to whom he was about to be mar ried. Finding, however, that Tulloch was likely to get the better of him, he struck the fatal blow, and then dragged him to a burn, where he left the body, in the hope that it would be carried into the Spey.—Elgin Paper. ELOPEMENT.—WINDSOR, FEB. 14.—The wife of a respectable tradesman of this town has, within the last few days, eloped from her home, under the " protection " of a bookseller, well known for his connexion with " the un stamped" and other publications of that class, residing in the neighbourhood of Compton-street, Soho. It appears that the gay Lothario has been on terms of intimacy and friendship with the husband for several years. The wife possessed consi derable personal attractions. Proceedings against the seducer have been instituted in the Court of Queen's Bench. The Duke of Cleveland has had the whole of is valuable stud removed to the extensive stabling attached to Raby Castle, Durham, where the Noble Duke intends in future to have all his horses trained. His Grace's fine pack of hounds have been disposed of. LORD STANLEY'S BILL.—Mr. O'Connell has addressed a letter on this subject to Mr. Ray, which is pub lished in the Pilot of last Monday. Its principal purpose appears to be the procuring petitions against . Lord Stanley's, and in favour of Lord Morpeth's Irish Registration Bill. The allegation of want of sympathy with Ireland , is again urged against the English :—" There is not ( writes Mr. O'Connell) the least possibility of our obtaining assistance or sympathy in this country." Mr. RoAtick is incidentally rebuked, and cited as a sort of proof of the Learned Gentleman's assertion—that England cat es but little for the Irish. Colonel Fitzgibbon, too, is arraigned on the charge of being absent without a pair, " The enemy is advancing. The barrier that stood between us and rank Toryism is daily crumbling. The Tories are pre paring for office; they are panting to restore in Ireland the sanguinary ascendancy of Orange domination ; they are about to set to work the Orange shedders of blood. The worst of the Tories are preparing to place upon the bench of justice the most virulent of the political and religious bigots of the bar— men who have raised themselves into notoriety by the activity of their malignant hatred to the religion and to the people of Ireland." EVENING EDITION: F. 11. STANDISH, ESQ• TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlA,—Several paragraphs having appeared in various public papers, relating to the supposed disposal of the estates' of the late Frank Hall, calling himself Frank Hall Standish, it is , only necessary at :present tO that he had no power to will the estates, he basing only the adverse possession of them, which be against the lineal descendant, and right male heir of the late Sir Frank Standish, and that proceedings. are new in prcgress to recover possession of the valuable property.
