Public attention is requested to the following Letter addressed by Thomas Schofield, Esq., to the Editor of the " Morning Chronicle" : SIR,--As I am sure you will be happy to promulgate any thing that will benefit your fellow-creatures, I confidently send you the following statement of an extraordinary cure from a violent attack of that dreadful malady the Gout, which I have obtained by mere accident, feeling assured you will give it publicity in your widely-circulated paper. I was attacked with it for the thi.d time on Saturday night, the 31st of . Vlay last, and suffered the most dreadful agony till the following Wednesday, when I war, recommended to apply to a Mr. Feaver, woollen warehouseman, Friday .street,Cheapside, for a bottle of Embrocation for the Gout—a remedy discovered by his father, and by which, I was told, he had cured himself. At that moment my sufferings would have induced me to apply anything ; I therefore obtained a bottle of this Embrocation, for which I paid 6s. 6d., and applied it immediately ; and to my delight and astonishment, in one hour the intense pain ceas ed, in two days I could walk, and at the end of one week the gout had enti r e l y l eft me. I have no doubt but for this remedy I should have had at least six weeks of suffering, as 1 had in former attacks. I am induced to take this step solely for the benefit of the thousands who are victims to this distressing disease (and for which, until now, it has been said there was no cure) that they may know where to obtain the same relief. Of Mr. Feaver, the proprietor, I know nothing, having seen him but once, when I called to thank him for the benefit he had been tie means of conferring on me; and finding he had nev er made this invaluable discovery publicly known, I resolved at once to make known my cure to you, and I trust through you to my fellow-sufferers. It is much to be regretted that Mr. Fearer does not imme ddeiagrteeley p to ub ti l i i m sh sef, it i . It cannot fail to prove beneficial in a l arge while at the same time it would be con ferring a great blessing on thousands of our suffering brethren. However, I feel myself bound to give publicity to my own case in every possible way ; and I consider, by inserting this in your columns, you will he doing a much greater good than usually results from whole pages of matter eontained in some of our daily journals. I remain, Sir, Bze. THOMAS SCHOFIELD. 52, Lower Thames-street, and 12, Marlborough place, Old Kent-road, July 6, 1540.

They are so exactly formed to nature, both in shape and colour, that the closest observer cannot detect the difference, with this advantage—they never change colour, decay, or wear out ; and a complete set, on fine gold, for which they will only charge 15 to 16 guineas, will last for 20 years or upwards, and are far superior to those usually charged 30 or 40 guineas ; a single tooth, one guinea ; three ditto, two guineas and a half.

The . deceased Admiral, who was son of the late Captain Halsted. 11. N., had a numerous family, ten of whom are living, sever daughters and three sons, who are in the service of the East India Company. The gallant deceased, when Lieutenant in the Canada, first distil gushed himself in. Lord Rodney's action with , the Count de Grasse in 1 782, and from his return to this country in the winter of the same year, until 1791, saw but little service, when he was appointed to the Atalante sloop in the East Indies. In 1794 he was removed to the Hectir, 74 guns, under the command of Rear-Admiral Sir George Montague, and subsequently was ap pointed to the command of the Venus, of 32 guns, which formed part of the squadron of Rear-Admiral Harvey in the North Sea. While commanding the Phoenix in 1796 he cap tured, after a gallant action, the Dutch frigate Argo, of 36 guns, and was favourably mentioned in Lord Duncan's dee patches to the Admiralty for his gallantry on that occasion. In 1800 he was actively employed in the blockade of Cadiz, under the command of Sir Rich. Bickerton, and during his service in the Mediterranean commanded a squadron of frigates, and suc ceeded in capturing La Canere, a French frigate of 40 guns, and the Success, of 28 guns, and completely destroyed La Bra voure, a French frigate of 46 guns. He was subsequently in 1807 selected by Sir C. Cotton, then Commander-in-Chief of the Lisbon station, to serve as captain of the fleet under his orders, and he was destined to perform the important and ar duous duties of that appointment with credit to himself and sa- tisfa lion to the Home Government. He returned to England with Sir Charles Cotton in the Hibernia, in 1808. The de• ceased Admiral was also a participator in the glory of Sir Rich. Strachan's victory, and for his eminent services on that occa sion was rewarded with a medal. He was in the receipt of a good service pension of 300/. a year, being the senior flag of ficer enjoying that liberal allowance, and had an honorary re ward from the Patriotic Fund. His commission was dated as follows:—Lieutenant, Dec. 8, 1781 ; Commander, Nov. 22, 1790 ; Captain, May 31, 1791 ; Rear-Admiral, July 31, 1810 ; Vice-Admiral. June 4, 1814 ; and Admiral, July 22, 1830. In consideration of his brilliant services her Majesty was pleased to nominate the Gallant Admiral a G.C.B. Feb. 24, 1837. CURIOUS CAUSE OF ERYSIPELAS.—Yester day Mr. Baker held an inquest at the London Hospital, on the body of Matthew Powell, aged thirty-seven, a plasterer. On Monday week last deceased was drinking at the Hayfield, Mile-end-road, with others, among whom was a man named Serjeant. This person having been called out to work, he took, as he was leaving the room, from his mouth a pipe, which he had been smoking, and flung it against the well. A fragment of the pipe.stcm re bounded and struck deceased sharply under the right eye, making an incision, from which the blood flowed. The wound was washed with brandy, and deceased, making light of it, continued drinking to a late hour, when he returned home in toxicated. On the Wednesday following the wound be neath the eye becoming much inflamed, deceased applied to the hospital and was admitted. It was then discovered that he had bruises on divers parts of his person, which be could not account fur. After his admission he was at tacked by erysipelas and delirium tremens, and on Friday died of the former disease. Mr. Gilbert, house-surgeon, had examined the body internally, and from appearance. benea , h the wound under the eye he was oropinion that erysipelas (the cause of death) was produced by that in jury, and not by the bruises on the body. The Jury re turned an open verdict, viz. :—" Died of erysipelas, pro. duccd by severe injuries, but by whom, or bow they were caused, the evidence was not sufficiently clear to show." Monday morning, the men belonging to the fint battalion of Scotch Fusilier Guards, stationed at the Wel lington barracks, Bird-cage-walk, St. James's Park, were called out upon parade to hear the sentence of a district court martial read to private M'Dowell, and Reed, a drummer, who had been found guilty of desertion and insubordinate con duct. The culprits took their station in the centre of the squat e, and the serjeant-major of the battalion read the seri tunes, which expelled them from the regiment and unfitted them from becoming at any future time, soldiers in any of her Majesty's forces. M'Dowell has been 23 years a soldier; he has during that time twice deserted, and - his conduct at other times has subjected him to such lengtheneeperiods of impri sonment, that he has passed nearly half his time in prison. Reed has been extremely insubordinate. 'the practice of what is termed drumming out a soldier—viz., the band playing the " Rogue's March," and the coat being torn from the soldier's back, &c., was departed from in this instance, and is not again, as we understand, to be renewed by the household troops. After the sentence was read, the men were presented with their discharge, and allowed to walk unnoticed through the barrack-yard gates.

TRICKS OF TRADE.—Among the numerous tricks pra c ti s ed by some of the silk mercers of this town to in duce the belief that they have not to complain of a want of trade, is one of blocking u p the pavement with large packages unpacking them during the day, taking them into the house keptfor that purpose. at night and preparing them for the next exhibition.

NOMINATION OF THE CANDIDATES. NOTTINGHAM, MONDAY.—This day the nomination of the Candidates took place in the large roum of the Exchange, a fine building erected on one side of the Market-place. About a quarter before ten o'clock, Mr. Larpent, accom panied by Lord Rancliffe, Colonel Wyldman, Mr. Close, and attended by a long train of friends, appeared upon the hus tings. He seemed in excellent health and spirits, and was plainly confident of success. Shortly afterwards the doors were opened, and the public admitted. Mr. Walter and his friends appeared at the same time on the hustings. I observed upon the blue party coming in, that a fight was immediately commenced. I was at a loss for some time to discover the object, but I perceived it was to gain the side of the roum where Mr. Walter was seated. At length silence was obtained, and the proclamation for the election was read. During the day the greatest disposition was exhibited by the Liberal party to give a fair hearing to Mr. Walter and his friends, but there seemed to be from the first the resolution adopted by the Chartists and Tories to hear, if it were possible, nothing that might be said by those to whom they were opposed. The MAron, S. M. B. Pigott, Esq., came forward and attempted to address the assembly. His efforts were ren dered abortive, and the proclamation and other preliminary matters passed off in dumb show. WM. ROWORTH, Esq., the late Mayor, at length presented himself. He was not there to propose Mr. Walter as a Tory. —(Cries of " Oh, oh," and cheers.) He did not know whether Mr. Walter was a Tory or not.—(Laughter.) He was there to propose Mr. Walter as the poor man's friend, and such he would continue to be. A great deal had been said about the discontented classes, and that in sup porting Mr. Walter they were supporting them. What was, he asked, separating the poor from the rich—(Cries from the Chartists "the Whigs")—but the starvation caused by that Bill that was driving the Englishman from his fire side into the workhouse ?—(Cheers. ) He proposed John Walter, Esq.. as a fit and proper person to represent the borough in Parliament. nir. CHARLTON, of Chillwell, seconded the nomination. Lord RANCLIFFE here presented himself, and was greeted with loud whistling from the Tory party. He was heard to say he was for Annual_. Parliaments, Vote- by Ballot, and doing away with the accursed Corn-laws.—( The shouts and groans of the Tories made the Noble Lord utterly inaudible.) He was understood as proposing Mr. Larpent. Here a boxing-match commenced between some of the champions of the two parties. It appeared to us as if the glues had cot the worst of it, and there was comparative quiet for a few minutes. FRANCIS HOSTE, Esq. seconded the nomination of Mr. Larpent. Mr. WALTER presented himself amidst cheers from the Tories and Chartists and hisses from the opposite party. Silence havin g in some degree been obtained, he said—Upon the subject of the Corn-law he had declared himself in favour of a change, but not a change which would prevent the agri cultural interest from paying their labourers. The change which he advocated was one which would assist in obtaining for them the means of supporting their labourers and depen dents, and it might be adopted without injury to either. With respect to the Ballot his opponent had observed, "he would support the Ballot if no other mode could be adopted for securing to the voter the free exercise of his opinions." He was surprised that any man should have the hardihood to recommend a system which was yearly sinking into disgrace— the frauds of which were displayed in the late election of Pre sident for America. If the Ballot were ever adopted there would he end to all intercourse between the representative and the elector. He (Mr. Walter) was a friend to education. But let them not place the cart before the horse. He should wish to see the poor clothed and fed; and it was vain to talk about education until that was done.—(Cheers from the Chartists.) With respect to the Church, his opponent was connected with a party who hid dealt out heavy blows and great discouragement upon the Church, and upon Protestant ism, and it would puzzle the whole Council of the London University to make his opponent a friend to the Church, to which he had assisted in dealing out "heavy blows and discou ragement." He (Dlr. Walter) would rather see twenty churches kept in beauty and repair, than one great iron-eated union workhouse. —( Immense shouts from the Chartists ) 'Those work houses would rise in terror throughout the land, and frown down the labouring classes of this country.--(Chartist cheers.) The Whigs had taken off one tax to put on another—they had taken off the postage, but screwed up the assessed and window taxes to the utmost. His opponent (Mr. Larpent) had charged him with changing his views; but this he de nied. He thought there was nothing so ridiculous as frequent changes, but he (Mr. Walter) had contemplated a Reform Ministry till he was sick of the whole brood. There was but one reform that would do the poor any good, and that the Whigs would not give them—(" They won't !" from the Chartists)—full stomachs and plenty of labour; but the Whigs gave them a starving dietary and stone walls. Mr. LARPENT presented himself to the assembly, and he was instantly assailed with shouts, groans, hisses, and the whistling of cat-calls by the Chartists and Tories, followed by loud cheers from his own friends. It was, however, plain that his opponents had come to the resolu tion that he should not be heard, and in order to take the fol lowing report of his speech it was necessary to stand close beside him. Upon some occasions, so awful was the uproar that he could not be heard even at the distance of a yard. Gentlemen, 1 am as great a friend to the poor as Mr. Walter. —(Hear, hear.) I am, too, a friend to liberal principles ; I am a friend to Reform also. What is Mr. Walter ?—(Cheers and groans.) I am, I avow it, a Reformer ; my opponent is a Tory. I avow. that lam so; but he does not say so. He would have you sink all these great differences ; slur over all those mighty and important principles that separate us from each other, and let them all sink in the question of the Poor law.—( Hear, hear.) In the course of my canvass, I may say that my principles have been strengthened, if any addition could be given to their energy, by finding how much you appre ciated the example that was given by your late representative. in him has been presented to me the accomplished gentleman, the enlightened patriot, the consistent politician.—( Cheers. ) I have seen that, and I can only say that I will ever be proud to follow his example.—(Cheers.) And here let me say that Mr. Walter, my honourable antagonist, has said one thing which has indeed astonished me, and was well calculated to amaze you. What ! he is the man who complains of a change of principles:—he, above all other men, apprehends such a change in me ! A more extraordinary charge, from such an accuser, never came from the lips of man ! (Laughter.) Is it not true, I ask you, that Mr. Walter is a double-faced Tory—that at one time he was a Reformer, and that at another period he is a Tory ?—(Laughter. ) That here he voted one way—there he voted another ; and that the vote of to-day was in opposition to that of yesterday; and the speech that he made on a Monday was replied to and re futed by him on a Tuesday ; and he it is that is fearful—nay, cautions you against any man who may be in his principles a changeling.—(Laughter.) Mr. Walter then says, that he does not want to educate men's minds until he has first filled their bellies ; or, to use his expression, " fed their bellies."—(Cheers from the Tories ) I say at once, I agree with him—that, too, is my principle ; and it is mainly to effect that principle that I wish to repeal the Corn-laws.—(Cries of " Hear, hear, hear.") My honourable antagonist has said something which seemed to me to be a disposition on his part to repudiate his connection with the Times. I can see no reason why he should repudiate it, for it is a faithful follower of his. He and the Tinges change together. When he changes the Times changes also. Why, then, should he be ashamed of his connection with it? He has in it the advantage of com manding the a.: 4 of gentlemen of very considerable ability , and who, to serve his purposes, have not at all hesitated to say that I was a Frenchman. Gentlemen, I appeal to my personal ap pearance, am I a Frenchman? —(Laughter.) Gentlemen, I was born and bred an Engii.slainan. My father was born and bred an Englishman. My grandfather was born and bred an Englishman. My great-grandfather; 155 years ago, became an exile from his native country, because he was made a mar tyr in the great cause of religious freedom.—(Cheers.) It was because he pre erred his religious liberty to the caprices of a tyrant that he became an exile. Persecuted bj' Louis XIV. he took refuge in this country, which he considered as the re fuge of liberty, and it was that which made him adop!. as his motto —" Where liberty is, there is my country."-(Chers.) The ancestor of my friend, Sir S. Romilly, also came to Eng land at the same time. I am, also, to tell you that lam not, in the common acceptation of tie word, a mere Whig. I am, as my Noble Friend has said to you—'‘ a Whig and something more."—(Hear.) The whole tenor of my life must prove that I never was, never could be, for the constant confine ment of the poor within the walls of a workhouse.—( Hear.) I have been accused, continued Mr. Larpent, on one paper, of being a placeman ; I never was a placeman—l never expect to be a placeman—and what is more, Gentlemen, I never will be a placeman.—(Cheers. ) The real question between me and 111 r. Walter is this—which I have put upon my word—will you have a person who votes for the Ballot, or the Times newspaper ? Will you have one who votes for an Extension of the Suffrage, or the Times newspaper? Will you have Par liaments shortened, or the Times newspaper? Will you have the general diffusion of education, or the Times newspaper? Will you have the most unbounded liberty of conscience, or the Times newspaper, that has, for the last twenty years written for, against, advocated and opposed, supported and denounced, the most extraordinary, extravagant, and anta.go nistical principles?—(Cheers and renewed clamour.) lam prepared to vote for such a modification of the New Poor-law Bill as shall at once secure the welfare of the poor, and the interests of the ratepayer: lam one for giving to the poor man the full value of his labour, and by free trade of extending the markets in which the articles that he produces are consumed, and thus raising the price of his labour. I would, too, by a Repeal of the Corn-laws—a total Repeal—give to the poor the full benefit of cheap food; so that their wives and their children might have an abundant supply of the great necessary of life.—( Hear. )-1 am a friend to religious liberty, and have too much of the blood of the old Reformers in me to sanction any impost that could be re garded as a tax upon conscience. I would not have Dissen ters to pay Church-rates, but I would have the Church sup ported out of its own funds, the working clergy provided for, and the Church itself maintained out of the proper allocation and wise management of its own funds.—(Cheers.) I stand, then, here before you an uncompromising friend to civil and religious liberty-A am here an advocate for a repeal of th e Corn-laws-1 am here a friend to free trade. Which do you prefer—these principles of mine, that are consistent, or the variable, changing, vacillating, uncertain , but at pr esen t most Tory principles of my opponent?—( Cheers. ) THOMAS ROBERTS, jun., E s q., then called for a show of hands. For Mr. Walter a hi-ge number in the body o f th e h a ll was held up. For Mr. Laspent nearly the whole of th e pl a tf or m, a few down the side, and some at the bottom of the hall. The SHERIFF, amidst loud cheers from the supporters of Mr. Walter declared the shsw of hands to have fallen upon him ; and a poll was demanded for Mr. Larpent, which commeacet at eight o'clock to -morrow. (From a Correspondent.) The clamour excited in this place against the new Poor-law is most unjust and senseless, for here its stringent enactments have in no instance been enforced. In the Nottingham Union there has been no separation of man and wife—no denill of out-door relief in necessitous races—no want of sufficient food, clothing, or exercise—no lack of care and attention in ickness—no neglect of education amongst the children, and only such a discipline has been observed as is suited to the pre servation of peace and order in such a community of 500 or 600 persons. HOW TO ACCOMPLISH ALL THAT WE AT , TEMPT.—My rule is deliberately to consider before I com mence, whether the thing is practicable. If it be not prac ticable, I do not attempt it; if it be practicable, I can ac complish it, if I give sufficient pains to it ; and, having be gun, I never stop till the thing is done. —Dr. Hunter. PROFESSIONS OF HUMILITY.—Such profes sions are the very cream, the very essence of pride ; the real humble man wishes to be and not to appear 50..-St. Francis. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM VIE DAILY PAPERS CF YESTERDAY. POST.—DESTRUCTION OF Loan MORVETII'S BILL.— We heartily congratulate the country on the triumphant ma jority by which Lord Howick's amendment of the above mea sure was carried last night, in defiance of the utmost efforts of her Majesty's Ministers. The object of Lord Howick's amendment is to impart the right of voting in Irish coun s to persons possessing a beneficial leasehold interest in land to the value of 51. per annum, to be computed by the excess of rating over the amount of the rent and charges to which he is subject. This, though nst the kind of franchise of which the Conservative party can entirely approve, seemed to them so far preferable to that which Lord Morpeth s Bill would have established, namely, a fray - chise entirely unconnected with and independent of property, that, voting in Committee, they thought it their duty to sup port it. The strong Parliamentary ground for the course taken by the Conservatives was clearly and eloquently ex plained by Lord Stanley and Sir Robert Peel. But there is another ground upon which the public at large will rejoice at the course adopted by the Conservatives, and at its triumphant result. They have given a deathblow to the Morpeth trick, or a deathblow to the small remaining reputation of Alinisters for consistency and integrity. This is the alternative. Let Ministers make their choice. CHRONICLE.—The demand of Lord John Russell led to a very ridiculous misconception of the object of it, which ob tamed currency in the clubs—that Ministers were contemplat ing a resignation. We will not offer such an insult to the un derstanding of our readers as to suppose that they would ex pect us to contradict so silly a rumour. No Ministry would think of resigning on a question which cannot be deemed a trial of the strength of parties. Lord Howick had no intention by his amendment of forwarding any Tory objects ; and though the Tories chose to divide in favour of it, the Amendment could not have been carried without Liberals who conscientiously coincided in opi nion with his Lordship. Ministers would very imperfectly fulfil the trust reposed in them by their Sovereign, and ill re quite the confidence re t assed in them by the supporters of Lis oeral opinions, were they to make such a division as that o last night a pretext for throwing up office. Time for delibe-f ration as to sue course they ought w pursue with regard to the Bill was very properly inquired by them, because it is neces sary they should weigh well the various circumstances which may render it necessary to abandon the Bill altogether, or to adopt the alterations of Lord Howick. But why should they hesitate as to continuing the Government? They would indeed incur a very serious responsibility were they to suffer the reins of Government at this time to be usurped by a party with no claims to the confidence of the country, and over whom the leaders and moderate men among them have no control. What ! resign government in favour of men who one day are violent Orangemen, and the next coquetting with Chartists ? Besides, the Tories do not possess a majority in the House of Commons, and must, if they took office, resort to a dissolution—a dissolution at a time, when, by their al liance with Chartists, an election would throw the country into the greatest confusion. The vote of last night is immaterial, as far as continuance in office is concerned, though it may add to the difficulties of Ministers in governing Ireland. TI slES.—The precise degree of respect which the House of Commons entertains for the Whig compact with O'Connell, and also for the Popish Registration Bill, which, under pretext of defining the qual.fication of Irish voters, proposed to enfran chise every applicant who might ham n to bear the im primatur of the Repeal Association, has been pretty signifi cantly shown by the division on Lord Ho sick's amendment, whereby the Ministers were kicked into the kennel by an ad verse majority of 21. By the amendment of the Noble Lord, though scarcely effecting what the exigencies of the case re quire, such a substantial improvement has been made upon Lord Morpeth's collusive measure, as will at least prevent fraudulent tenures from acquiring the elective rights due odly to a bona fide qualification ascertainable by the Poor-law rating. So manifest to the Whigs was the tendency of tbs proposal for destroying their stock-dependence in Ireland, that they opposed it with the most desperate and convulsive energy. Lord Morpeth fawned, flattered, and implored. Lord John Russell philosophized, crossed himself, and almost screamed for extreme unction. But the House happened to be in an obstinate fit; or, we should rather say, more patriotic and philosophical than its nominal leader could control. His own troops tore their mountings from their uniform, and flung them in his Lordship's face. Tne discomfiture to the disconcerted Whigs was an astounding one. What new evidence of Whig tenacity and meanness will be forthcoming on Wednesday, until which day the further con sideration of the Bill is postponed, our readers will be at no loss to conjecture. Alas for the Whigs ! AD VER l'lSEß.—Notwithstanding the proceedings of last night, we scarcely regret that the Tories were not to be conci liated. A Tory- Whig policy would he the most dangerous to public liberty that could possibly be established in England. However, therefore, the Tories may cajole the popular suffrage about the Poor-law, we rejoice that on other points of policy they scorn compromise. The people have nothing to gain and everything to lose by a Whig-Tory fraternization. There has, however, lately been a strong tendency to this consummation. The anecdote which the Times told of the " worthy gentle man" who withheld his subscription from the Conservative Association, on the grounds that " to displace Ministers would be merely to drive out one set of scoundrels to make way for another," seems to have stimulated the wavering Tories into the more envenomed assertion of their principles. Hence the taunts of Sir Robert Peel last night. " No surrender" is now the watchword of the Tories. Ministers must, therefore, deter mine decisively and at once, " to be or not to be." HER ALD.—The Conservative leaders would certainly have some show of reason on their side, if. in the exuberance of of their many triumphs over their political antagonists, they were tempted to indulge in somewhat decided expressions of exultation. We trust, however, that they will withstand the " strong temptation," and, by a steady perseverance in that collected constancy of purpose which has hitherto dignified their noble and sustained efforts at upholding the true interests of the country, in the uncompromised integrity of the Consti tution—will assert new claims to the confidence and respect of all their fellow-subjects. And yet—in the contemplation of their crowning triumph of last night, when they defeated the Whig radical Ministry and their party, in a house of 561 Mem bers—on the question of the elective franchise according to the Si. (or Universal Suffrage) standard, so recently set up and insisted upon in all its stringency by Lord Morpeth, as the amount of rating to the Poor-rate which should qualify for the elective franchise in Ireland, they must have felt somewhat of the abounding self-gratulation of the Macedonian hero, who " fought all his battles o'er again And thrice he routed all his foes, And thrice he slew the slain." It is our duty now to record that, last night, on the debate being resumed in Committee on the Parliamentary Voters (Ireland) bill, Lord Howick moved an amendment which, like most of his Lordship's kind efforts to assist his political friends, has proved, in its results, very well calculated to oust them from their seats. GLOBE.—The Tory organs are somewhat premature in celebrating what they call a triumph in the majority of last night on Lord Howick's amendment. No doubt it is a vote of dissent from the Government proposition ; and so far it may be r;garded as an advantage to their oppo nents. But when we come to consider what the position of parties upon this question is ; and what a division of opinion exists, not amongst Liberals only, but also in the ranks of the Opposition, upon the subject—we shall clearly perceive that no Tory triumph has really been gained, and that no party triumph on this question in deed is possible. The two persons who certainly should know best how this matter stands are Lord Howiek and Lord Stanley—the former the mover of last night's amend ment, and the latter the original parent of all these Irish propositions. The farmer distinctly declared that he had no right to expect the support of any organised party, and no hostility towards the Government. " It was obvious that a settlement was impracticable, if both sides of the House insisted on carrying out to the' utmost their own peculiar opinions." The latter " was not pre pared to adopt either the one plan or the other—either the project of Lord Howick, or that of the Geverienent. Lord Stanley merely regards the rival Liberal projects as two " Kilkenny oats," which he wishes to see eat each other up. But there is a thirel,Kilkenny cat in this case—namely, his own original measure : and if that of Lord Howick and the Government really should finish each other, as he expects, it is, quite certain that such a measure as his will not pass by itself. I: is possible that no agree ment may be come to about the franchise ; but it is eel tam that no success will attend the bare and naked scheme of disfranchisement. That would havebeen the Tory triumph; or the triumph of the Stanley section of Toryism. For the split is more evident than ever in lest night's debate. While Lord Stanley said he was not prepe.rei to adopt either the one plan or the other ; and that, while his Noble Friend ( Lord Howick) had been very successful in ex posing the many faults which attended the plan of the Government, the Noble Lord (Morpeth), on the other hand, had done much in pointing out what would be the defects of his Noble Friend's plan in detail—Sir R. Peel, on the other hand, is exceedingly complimentary to what he calls the " admirable plan , " in some resp e ct e o f L ord Howiek, and professes himself " not indisposed to consider" its other provisions. Lord Stanley and Sir R ibert Peel are clearly on opposite tacks, and their dispositions are not more opposed to Government than they are to each other. C 0 El RI R. —Mtnistere, it will be seen, had, last night, the astounding majority of 21 recorded against them, on an amendment moved by Lord Howick upon the very first clause of Lord Morpeth's Irish Registration and Qualifi cation Bill. The object of this amendment substantially appears to be to preserve the rights of property in the county franchise of Ireland, as contradistinguished from the principle of the Government Bill, by which occupa tion and perjury were to be constituted or continued the leading elements of that franchise. The working details of the law by which Lord Howick seeks to accomplish his aim were not very clearly stated by himself, nor much better elucidated by Mr. Charles Wood, by whom the amendment of his noble relative was treated toe much in the sense of a verbal alteration of a clause merely, and too little in the light of the asser tion and maintenance of a principle adopted specially in the Rrform Bills both for Ireland and England. The first clause of Lord Morpeth's Bill, alluded to, " di rects the Poor-law Commissioners to certify to the Lord Lieutenant when a Poor-rate shill be established in any county or borough, and upon the Poor-law Commis sioners so certifying, the Lord Lieutenant to dec l are that, that, upon the expiration of one month , this Ac t shall come into tho operation, qualificationin of referenceveters. toregu lating n the ep p e o n or t - i r i a e te !expre- tion of such calendar month this Act to come into opera tion, freeholder a n d or h r e l t e t c a e s f e o h r o w l d a r e d r t o n o be lle r rs e o g n ist t e o red be as en a tit v l o e t d er as fo i r t such county, in respect of any freehold or leasehold pro perty in his actual occupation , s ave as herein specified." To which the amendment of Lord Howick is—e' At page 2, line 11, after the words no person,' to omit all the words to the end of the clause, and to insert t claiming. under any Act or Acts now in force, to be entitled to be registered, and to vote as a Parliamentary elector for any eounty, in respect of any freehold or leasehold property i n hi s actual occupation, shall be deemed to have a bene ficial interst therein of the clear yearly value required by such act or acts, except as hereinafter provide I." We shall content ourselves for the present with refer ring to the speeches of the mover and seconder for in. formation on the somewhat complicated scheme proposed for - the regulation of the franchise, and to those of Lord Stanley and Sir knit Peel for an exposition of the rea ; - sons why, in respect of thel general principle, theysnp ported the proposition of Lora Hewick, whilst at the same time cautiously guarding themselves against compromise with its details. It is not, we declare, as a " party inure ph " that we are disposed to hail the decisive majority on this el:m aim, for it must long have been very evident to a'l the world that if the Conservative party had been ambitious of Majorities, and ready to accept or achieve them upon the same terms as those consecrated by Whig usage from time immemorial, that is from the time of the first Whig, their opportunities were not few and far between, of almost daily occurrence during the course of sessions past and present- STANDARD.— ANOTHER giNISTERIAL DEFEAT.--• Ministers were last night again beaten. The disgrace, too, was not a casual one ; it arose upon one of h . , eir own Loa d sures, indeed, upon the trial measure of the Sessins&—Lord Morpeth's Irish Registration Bill ; and upon the vital principle of that Bill—tbe question of qui:lifical..ix. The amount of disgrace, tor., was considerable and decisive ; for in a House of 566 members, the Adminis tration was left in a minority of twenty-one—a minority which cannot be regarded as otherwise than important by men who have not been ashamed to retain pos!..ession of office by majorities of twos and threes. Such a run. ;ority against Ministers surely juatifi s the concluding. words of Sir Robert Peel's speech, though these words referred to the causes of the disgrace, end net to the disgrace itself, which bad not been consum mated when the Right Hon. Baronet spoke. " TLe question," said Sir Robert, " was net whether Gr no the franchise • should be co-extensive with the population ; the question which arose was this, whe ther her Majesty's Government had made a prevision which entitled them to the public coo fideree and the confidence •of the House ? And he must say, that the course which they had pursued on the Irish franchise appeared to him to disentitle them to the confi dence of the House as of the country." This view s, as received by the almost universal cheering of the House, ano. more effectively ratified afterwards by the vote of the majo rity. The natural inference from this result—for which inference no doubt all must have been more or less prepared by the solemn threats of the Miniiters that they would resign upon a defeat—has forced itself upon the minds of the supporters of the Cabinet.. The Morning Chronicle has this morning as arVele intended t I expose the absurdity of the expectation that Lord Melbourne and his colleagues will relin quish place and salary in consequence of their late de feat. This article labours to prove that the ruin of tee empire must be the effect of a charge of administration, more particularly now, when the Conservatives have to a great extent succeeded in conciliating the Chartists. We cannot recognize the force of such' argunients. " It seenia to us that the conciliation of the. only class who have just grounds of complaint, and the only class who threaten the peace of the country, is rather a recommendation of a party to power than otherwise. Our Contemporary is, how ever, se have no doubt, correct in its conclusion, howeve r mistaken in its premises. We agree in the absurdity of ex pecting Ministers to resign, for reasons which, if they had occurred to the Morning Chronicle, might have enabled it to dispense with its long and isgenious article. Mini sters will not resign upon a mere disgrace, because they love quarter-day, and arc familiar with defeat and igno miny ; besides, they have still the apology for taking buffets with the it salaries, which has availed them for two years—they we still to guard, like Paladius, ti,e interests of the Ladies of the Bedchamber. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS: FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. POST.—The English funds have again declined a fraction on Saturday's closing value. The view taken by us of the general prospects of the Money Market seems to be admitted to be a correct one. There is an idea, however, that in addi tion to the causes assigned by us, as among the principal one/ of the existing depression, the approach of the day appointed by Mr. Baring for the production of his budget of ways and means, namely, the 30th inst., is beginning to tell in some de gree on prices, the ascertained deficiencies in many of the leading branches of the revenue being of an extent and nature to suggest to prudent speculators the policy of a pause in their operations. There can be no doubt that the measures about to be ad,pted by the Chancellor of the Exchequer for covering the national charges must be deeply interesting to moneyed men, and, perhaps, it is rasher to be wondered at that the funds should at stech a moment be so little affected as they are.

THE GUILDFORD BANK . --- In the Bankruptcy Court OR Monday the case of Anthony Lee, bankrupt, came on for hearing, when the following ex traordinary disclosures were made. Up to the present meet ing no less than 690 prods have been admitted upon the notes: of the bank for 10,4451., and that upon deposits arid balances 76,4731., making a total of 86,9181., while the total amount of debts and liabilities is found to be L''.09,2491. The real as sets upon the demise of Richard Si.arkes were 42,2331., and there has been re?lised, under the present estate, about 14,0001 A Solicitor who attended on behalf of the executors of the widow of Richard Sparkes, wished to know if the Learned. Commissioner had yet decided upon the admission or rejection of her claim. The Solicitor to the Assignees expressed a hope that his Honour would reject the claim, as the entries formerly re ferred to in her pass-book were all for pretended credits, as the sums there specified never went into the bankrupts' hands. Those entries were all in the handwriting of the younger Sparkes, and the other banking partner knew nothing whatso over about them. Sir C. F. WILLIAMS—The banking partner .bound to be at (painted with these entries, but he mut also have sem& them, for not a few of them were in his own hand-writine,. The Solicitor to the Assignees observed that the large pro perty which was pretended to exist did not exist in fact, and the dividends credited to :Mrs. Sparkes on the pass-book were nothing but a pretence. Sir C. F. WILLIAMS—I must have evidence as to all these facts ; and particularly as I understand that this case is to be brought before another tribunal. If, however, in the meats time, the solicitors can agree upon a statement of the facts. then I shall be in a condition to adjudicate upon the rejection or admission of the proof; but not till then. An appeal was next made to the Court for 10/., which a female servant had received as wages, and subsequently placed to her credit in the bank. _ _ _ The Learned C 31MISSIONER could not admit the claim ; but it was a case which he had no doubt the assignees Would take into their kindest consideration. Mr. WALL (a solicitor) claimed to prove for interest upon 1,0001., which had been left with the bankrupts under the•c circumstances :—Mr. Waring Kid, his client, deposited 'the sum of 2,9901., in March, 1839, with Mr. Sparkes, for which he agreed to give him 3 per cent. Of that sum 1,0001. was to be laid out in the purchase of a life annuity, and to be done forthwith; but that was not done. Mr. Kid, however, having pressed him to do so, an appointment was made ftr the parties to meet at the offices of Mr. Peppercorn, the broker, in London. There they met, and Sparkes told him it was al arranged, but ultimately it turned out that it was all a mere delusion, for it had not been effected. Sir C. F.. WILLIAMS said he did not know of any language sufficiently strong in which to char acterise so abominable al fraud. Were there many.similar frauds ? Mr. COLEMAN (the accountant) said that unfortunately there were ; and Mr. Rand, of Guildford, said that a ladies' savings' bank was the greatest sufferer in that respect. The Learned CoanwisslowEit thought that Mr. Kid, as a man of business, should have exercised more caution; but as the case stood, he would allow the proof for interest at 3 per cent. What was the amount of the false sales of stock ? Mr. COLEMAN—About 80,0001., out of which about 20,0001. had been replaced. The REGISTRAR, (Mr. Parry) drew the attention of the Court to the bills of costs of Mr. Hockley and Mr. Rand, two solicitors of Guildford, who had the management of the bank rupts' affairs ; when The Learned COMMISSIONER said he never heard of such a thing in his life. He did not doubt the great respectability of Mr. Rand, but the double charge could not be :Bowed. Fifty-one fresh proofs were admitted in the course of the day, to the amount of 4,7951. 4s. 6d., and the farther hearing was adjourned to the 24th of May next. An island has been discovered between the Cape of Good Hope and Australia, in which there are valuable coal mines. SEWERS COURT. Yesterday a Special Meeting of the Court of Sewers was held at the office of the Commissioners, Greek -street, Seho, for the purpose of considering the following letter from the Solicitors to the Board, and giving such directions as should be thought necessary thereon : " 16, Southampton-street, Bloomsbury-square, " Sir,—Agreeably to the direction 3, 0 1 f 8 t Chairman, we attended on Saturday last, at Chelsea Hospital, to meet Mr. Bicknell, the Solicitor of the Hcspital, and the Collector of the Commissioners, that the warrant of distress might be executed. " It was found that Mr. Hall did not reside on any part of the premises rated, and that he had no goods on such premises ; and the Collector made a distress in the chapel, wards, and hall, by levying, on a table in the wards, a pensioner's seat in the Chapel, and a dining-table in the Hall, all which Air. Bicknell stated were the property of the Commissioners of the Hospital. "The Collector, Mr. Wrather, has called and left with us a writ served on him, a t the suit of Mr. Neave , Secretary of t he Commissioners of the Hos p ital, for the trespass in seizing the er instant, of the Court, the writ on the ordt of Sewers 29th and we wait the goods of t w he ra Commissionerswill bound n t d h e to llo a s p p p i e ta a l r .

The Jury were led by the Commissioners to find that Mr. Hall was liable ; a person who was not rated, and the goods of persons not named in the warrant were seized. He considered the proceedings of the Commissioners, whose acts these were, exceedingly irregular. If they were illegal, the costs should be borne by those Commissioners themselves, and not by the public. He wished to ask the solicitor if he knew of any pre cedent for seizing the goods of one person under a warrant issued against another. Mr. 'A.DEY Oj . el the q uestion.
