THIS . against two individuals of having maliciously killed a sheep, with intent to injure the owner, and the circum stances of the case were of a somewhat novel kind, for it appeared that the moment the act was committed the prisoners gave information to . a policeman, and said that their object in committing the act was, that they might get transported. It would be - difficult in such a case to suppose that they were actuated by any malice towards the owner of the sheep, but it was his duty to tell the Grand Jury that the law did not require any evidence of the malicious intention, but the mere act was sufficient to constitute the offence. Two men killing a sheep or lamb, without any m slice towards the owner, and not to carry away the meat, but informing a policeman of what they had done, in order to get transported, is something like a novelty in the history of crimi nal jurisprudence. It teaches a most important truth. The terror of transportation is, and will be, of no avail in preventing crimes. The con clusion of this case is thus stated in the Brighton Guardian : Henry Parker and William Johnson, severally aged twenty-nine and twenty-two, pleaded guilty to an indict ment charging them with unlawfully and maliciously killing, at Rumboldswyke, a lamb, the property of Thomas White, and were transported for ten years ; and on sentence being passed, they made low bows to the Court, and seemed well pleased with their fate.—[This was the case referred to by the Learned Judge, in his charge to the Grand Jury ; and it was understood about the Court that the prisoners had presented a petition to the Court praying to be transported for life.] We should like to know more of the history of these two young men, and what motives led them to prefer transportation for life to a resi dence in that elysium of the ELLMANS, the Men -Imo:cps, and the fDARBvs, the purely agricultural county of Sussex. We hope that the Brighton Guardian, or some other local paper, will find out all the circumstances connected with these young men, and make them known, for the in struction of the world; or that some of our cor respondents in that part of Sussex will ex plain the matter to the public. As it appears at present it is calculated to excite suspicion and much alarm. Transportation is one of the pet punishments of the day—for legislators have pets as well as ladies ; it is that punishment most relied on by squires and farmers for the protec tion of their stock, their sheep, and lambs, and horses—their hedges and hop-poles, their woods and hen-houses; and if this punishment be des pised, but above all if it become a temptation to commit depredations and slaughter animals—if the inhabitants of the rural districts go on kill- ing sheep in order to be transported from their father land, which has no longer any charms for them, whatever it may have for the squires and the parsons; if transportation, on which the Magistrates almost exclusively rely, have lost all its terrors, they must begin to doubt whether they will much longer find safety for their per sons and property in England. Hanging men, except for murder, has gone into disuse ; solitary imprisonment, and the silent system, notwith standing the New Model Prison, which is fast encumbering and disfiguring the fields about Battle-bridge, are both decried as more inju rious than beneficial, and now we have common imprisonment courted as a refuge from utter des titution, and transportation invoked, through the commission of a heinous offence, because men are, from some cause or other, completely dis gusted with their native country. This straw may show rent-owning legislators which way the gale of moral desolation is blowing over the hearts and minds of the people. The coolness, may we not call it the callous ness, with which the venerable Chief Justice, with this example of punishment tempting men to commit crime, went on ordering prisoner after prisoner to be transported, even gratifying the lamb-killers, except that he made the punish- ment fall short of their desire never to return home, is to us quite as astonishing and as shock ing as the conduct of the men. This is not, in deed, an isolated case of that callous disposition in the Judges, which to us appears most offen- sive. We know they perform what is called a duty ; we know, too, that they sometimes weep themselves, and sometimes draw tears from others in doing it ; and yet they go on, assize after assize, circuit after circuit, condemning scores and hundreds of their fellow-creatures to one cruel punishment after another, without ever starting back with affright and horror at seeing, as almost every reflecting man but themselves sees, that the vast system of pain they are the instru ments of inflicting has lost all terror for evil doing, and while it is a grievous of fence to humanity, has long ceased to repress, if it does not greatly encourage, crime. A pamphlet was lately published entitled " The Crimes of the Law ;" and if this plan of inflicting great pain, which answers not the desired end, be not included in those crimes, it ought to be ; and when we look at its extent and its perpetual repetition, we may almost doubt whether all the other crimes committed by the community equal the crimes of the law. The venerable Judges, however, administer the sys tem with great apparent self-satisfaction, making us fancy that there may be things more extra ordinary than skinning eels alive, or pegging lobsters, to which custom reconciles the perpe trators. We have more than once explained that the Deficit Ministry, as the Tories call the Whigs, are no more to blame for the deficiency of the revenue than Sir R. PEEL. Nevertheless the Tory journals continue to blame the Ministry because the revenue does not equal the expendi ture. Let us again, therefore, remind our readers of the facts. When the postage was reduced, in accordance with the wishes of the bulk of the population, it was distinctly stated by the Ministers that they would call on the House of Commons to make good any deficiency that might occur in the revenue. Accordingly, in the following year, 1840, they proposed an increased per centage on taxation, which they calculated would make good the deficiency. The Tories neither said it would not, nor proposed any other plan. They acquiesced in the Ministers' scheme. Sir R. PEEL did more than acquiesce ; he ex pressly gave his approval to the plan, and ;Ls 1810 it was fully expected by all parties that the increased per centage on taxati , would brin 4 up the revenue to the expenditure. And so it would, had the countr - j , - ontinued to be prosperous. But, instead of the new taxes yielding upwards of 2,000,100/., they yielded, in, fact, little or nothing.. They only checked con sumptt.:,,,, and the increased revenue they caused in one branch was compensated by the falling off in another. The result could not be known till 1841, and when it was known, the Ministers pro posed a plan which they supposed would apply a remedy. The Tories, headed by Sir R. PEEL, re sisted and defeated that plan, and consequently the Tories are as much or even more responsible for the deficiency than the Ministers. They ap proved of the plan of 1840, and when that failed they objected to another, without suggesting any better scheme in its stead. They have now taken on themselves the responsibility ofreatedying the evil which their acquiescence in the first inst- insta prolonged, and which in the second • -ac e they refused to reme d y . nce e Theh progresst is, o that e th party thought that h ; Pti ed. in Prosperit y I \TA ' t tru he so much retP:d. The Tories, in ttleular, scouted ail: jr idea of decay, and MI their arg u _ mentk during the Corn-law At bates went to ridi cule the fears or impugn the data of those who warned theta that our manufactures and com merce had rteeived a severe check. Both par ties insisted till 1841, and Sir R. PEEL still in sists, that the progress of the country continued as rapid as ever, or if it were checked. the check was merely temporary, and both par ties, therefore, particularly Sir ROBERT PEEL, were quite unprepared for that serious de falcation of the revenue which the returns of the present year have exhibited. If the Ministers are to be blamed for not anticipating it in 1840, the Tories are equally to blame, and much more to blame than the Ministers, for the cons tinuance of the deficiency,.since they would not allow the measures to he discussed, or even ex..

LONDON: FRIDAY, AUGUST 13, 11141. 7,44/ 1 4 7 rr ,„ .04 The Corn Awararas, published yesterday, show a rise in the weekly average, which is 70s. sd. above t average, ptrisii/ive+Tetstergiariposek, of 4.44 6 4411 " 644 2s. 2c , w ile the average of the six weeks, 6 . is ls. 2d. higher than the average of the praceding six weeks. The prices continue to rise, therefore, throughout the country, and there appears no probability of their soon coming to a still stand, or falling. The additional 2d. that has been recently put upon the loaf may be nothing to the man " whose every single morsel, which he pokes with his golden fork between his teeth, costs more than a hard working man's pay per day," but it will be most severely felt by the overworked hind in Dorsetshire, with 6s. 6d. a week and a sleeping-berth in the hay-loft, by " th e poor sempstress, whose thousand stitches can earn her at the utmost one penny in the hour," and by the " poor widow laundress, who, up at three in the morning, labours through weeks, months, and years, and takes in wash ing at a penny a piece to preserve herself and her poor orphans a shadow of honest inde pendence." All these, and they are chosen as re presentatives of the millions, will shower their curses, if deep suffering and toil have not effaced from them all the imprint of humanity, on the cruel system which withholds from them the bounties of nature; and their curses, like the prayers of good :nen, will surely be heard at the throne of grace, and will wither the system which blights and blasts their happiness and their being. Many thin combine to assure us that the accursed system must speedily come to an end. Our opponents are giving way ; but they talk of a compromise. The great London merchants, who hase stood aloof during our three years' contest, a little alarmed at the decay of trade, are beginning, by their various organs, to advocate a fixed duty. They see in prospective that their o wn pockets will be assailed, and that touches them more than the seared hearts, wasted limbs, and miserable deaths of the suffering hand loom weavers. Some of the clergy, too, more alarmed, w e believe, at the pecuniary disast ers which they apprehend than at the moral de solation which is spreading over the land, h ave taken up t heir p ens in f avour of an alteration of th e Corn-laws—s p eakin g , how ever, in favour of a fixed duty, and carefull y shunning the noble principle of a perfectly free trade in food. An a lteration, then, we must have in the Corn-laws, and it will depend on the Manchester men whether that shall be a fixed duty or a total repeal. Thei r maxim is, that a fixed duty is a fixed injustice. That is our motto; we would not leave even Mr. M`GRE ooß's one shilling a quarter as a rag of the sla very from which, with perseverance and courage, we are _tire to be emancipated. We trust, there fore, that the League wilt zzot accept the compromise, and will remain firm to their principles, despite the coaxing of lately converted friends and half inclined enemies. They must be true to their principles for the sake of rais ing up the morality of the people, not for the sake of lowering the price of wheat one or two shillings. We trust, too, that the ministers who are to meet in Conference at Manchester on Tuesday, will stick to the moral principle of this now great and absorbing question, and not heed the jeers or flippant observations of that class of public writers and politicians who will see nothing in politics more important than a means to enrich the aristocracy, or more sacred than the success of their party. We adverted yesterday to four cases of per sons committing offences that they might find shelter and food in a prison. It is unnecessary, perhaps, to inform: thosewho rely much more soLi police and law than on morals—they themselves setting the example of doing justice to others— that their hopes of checking crime must be at once extinguished, when the very punishments which they have devised to repress it actually become, from the miserable condition of the people, temptations to commit crime. If they imagine that these are the only cases, or that the temptation . can only arise in large towns, and when the _punishment is trivia], we must, by quoting another case, undeceive them. When . Lord Chief Justice T INDAL addressed the Grand July at Lewes, on the 3d instant, he made the following observations His Lordship observed that there was also a change . .

Sir ROBERT PEEL'S first and greatest diffi culty, it is said, on taking office, will be the state of the ifinances, and for that he is especially re sponsible. He has not been out of Parliament during the last six years; he has not been taken from the plough or the spinning-jenny to guide the State; he has been a constant attendant in the House of Commons, and mingled in the de bates. Unless it can he proved therefore— which it cannot—that he has recommended and promoted measures calculated to remedy the de ficiency of the revenue, he must bear his share of the blame of those erroneous calculations, ignorant hopes, and stupid reliance on the inex haustible fecundity of the tax-payers, which were common to both parties. All our states men have been deceived, but Sir ROBERT PEEL was more in error than his opponents, and we do not expect that his accession to power will at once inspire him with knowledge, and acquaint him with truth. We anticipated in our Afternoon Edition of Wednesday all the important news in the Paris journals of Tuesday, Private letters from that capital state that the ex-Regent, Queen CHRIS TINA, is actively at work intriguing to effect the downfal of ESPARTERO. Her MAJESTY meets with all the sympathy she can desire from K no Louis PHILIPPE, and from that section of the French Legitimists whose polar star is the POPE. In the Spanish army CHRISTINA has many influential partizans, some of the priests are willing to declare for her now that the cause of Don CARLOS is utterly hope less, and in such an assembly as the Cortes it is to be supposed that there are many members liable to be dazzled by the smiles of Royalty, seduced by titles, and purchased by gold. CHRISTINA is rich, persuasive, and unscrupulous. Though her administration, while Regent, was decidedly liberal, the instruments by whose means only she could hope to be restored, would oblige her to pursue a retrograde policy. Her tools now are the Legitimists and the Carlists, and were another revolution to place her once more at the top of the wheel, they would become her masters. England, there fore, has a deep interest in this question. As well might we have declared for Don Csnsos after the death of the Royal embroiderer of Vir gin petticoats, FERDINAND, of infamous memory, as to countenance in any way the claims of CHRISTINA to be restored to the Re gency. So Liberal France there is no use appealing. The national vanity is too much flattered by the prospect of re-establishing the Court relations arising out of the old Bounnols family compact, for us to expect any assistance in that quarter. In the meantime these in trigues are fatal to the development of the re sources of the Spanish nation, and deeply inju rious to the Regency. Instead of extending com mercial alliances, fostering trade, encouraging agricultural industry, and promoting popular education, the Spanish Government has 'enough to do in providing for its own safety. The great difficulty in contending against the intrigues of CHRISTINA in Spain is found in the want of men of commanding intellect in the ranks of the Liberals. No man has arisen on the Li beral side in Spain since the commencement of the civil war adequate to the direction of the Na tional Councils. There have been an abundance of smart, clever men, of limited capacities, but not one man of genius either in the field or in the Cabinet. The only men who at all soared above the herd of common-place respectability of talent, were ZUMALACARREGUY and CABRERA, both on the Carlist side, and both feared and dis trusted by the sanguinary tyrant whom they served. ESPARTERO is a man of industry, per severance, and considerable vigour, but as yet he has proved himself nothing more. His in tentions, however, are honest; his views, poli tical and commercial, liberal and enlarged, and the permanence of the power which he now sways is essential to the maintenance of consti tutional liberty in Spain. Let us hope, there ' fore, that the British Government will not aban don him now in his hour of trial. The conviction of Madame LAFFARGE for the diamond robbery, excites no surprise in Paris. We have long ceased to entertain a doubt of the guilt of this infamous woman, who now, it ap pw&rends her time in prison concocting libels toW4he shelves of that wretched class of pub lishers who, in Paris, pander to the depraved tastes of the readers of scandal and ob scenities. Why is not the sentence con demning her to hard labour, rigidly enforced ? The moral assassination in which she now seeks to indulge is little less criminal than the poison ing of her husband and the robbery of her friend. We subjoin the only extracts in these Papers of any general interest :- - A new 40-gun frigate, to be called the Clorinde, and two 20-gun brigs, the Aigle and Agile, have been ordered to be immediately laid down on the slips at Cherbourg. The Moniteur publishes a royal ordonnance, pre ceded by a report from the Minister of Public Instruction, directing that catalogues shall be made out of all MSS. in all the public libraries of France (those of Paris ex cepted), with a view either to their classification and pre servation in their present localities, or to their transfer to other libraries, under circumstances to be determined between the Minister of Public Instruction and the local authorities. The expenses of these operations are to be paid by Government. The following distressing occurrence took place lately at Eaux Chaudes, a watering-place in the Besse Pyrenees. A gentleman and his wife were taking a walk in the environs, and came to a chasm between two rocks. The lady dared her husband to leap over it. Being a better judge of distances and of his own powers he at first declined, but, piqued by her reproaching him with cowardice, he made the spring, and fell into the space between. When taken up, it was found that his back was broken, and in a few hours afterwards he expired. The Intendant of the Civil List has given large orders to the Gobelins' manufactory for various new arti cles for the Royal Palaces, the church of St. Germain l'Auxerrois, and the Bishop of Algiers.

The I3ureaux. de Ilienfa-vance of the twelve Arron dissements of Paris have given orders for woollen gar ments for 80,000 indigent persons, to be distributed dur ing the ensuing winter. The Journal du Havre mentions, as a proof of the distressed state of the colonial sugar trade, that a vessel has just come into that port from Gatadaloune in ballast, not having been able to obtain any freight in sugar, the prices here being such as would have caused a loss to the growers.

This morning the Marquis of Laos downo set out for Amsterdam, and the Duke of Croy for Antwerp. COPENHAGEN, JULY 31.—The Journal of Elsinore says—" M. Rozenblad, the Swedish Commissioner, has arrived here to confer with the Commissioners appointed by the King of Denmark and the Queen of England on the regulation of some points connected with the Sound dues." —Dutch Papers, 11th August. Lord Portman gave a dinner at Bryanston, on the 3d of August, to his tenantry, and on that occasion entered into a statement of his views upon the Corn laws. He stated, that having often told them that he consideredo, other. -interests fixedes iin duty th ewouldempire i givere than sufficient anthe sl sliding protection inasmuch amp t se h mmr e iueercnchcee, agriculturists,ahsscorn onerenel need 82 mighto a n n i dy becomewt e o l would. ld t h b e c a nn l , e injurious t s / s ira l e 9 r regular to all e (yrk.cu Amt. -116 Wa t ro~liged, aft M •P• for D'_.,;rsei, to form an opinion) confirmed his 0.-net in the correctness of that opinion. Adverting, however, ;to the recent elections, he thought it was hopeless to attempt at present to enact an absolute fixed duty; and, therefore, he would consent to some such palliative as he had tor several years contemplated, as an Improvement of the existing law, and as a mode of testing the - probable consequence of an absolute fixed duty. His plan of palliation is to enact, that when wheat is under 40s. the duty should be 20s. per quarter ; when above 725. should be 2s. 6d., and when between 40s. and 725, should be lOs. But as a necessary part of any new law, he would amend the law relating to taking the averages, on the plan proposed by him in the House of Commons in 1828, He would omit London, in Liver- P"% Wakefield, acid all towns not returning 5,000 guar tl.?n, the year, from the average towns, and extend the period of six weeks to three mouthS, He thought the present a peculiarly favourable time for adjusting the Corn-law squabbles, becauso there is no glut of corn anywhere in the world to overwhelm the market in an unusual manner. anything, however monstrous or ridiculous, with an air of mystery, is to invest it with a secret. charm andpower THE MIGHT OF MYSTERY. — TO su r round xsf atv % actio which to the crowd is urea.

The Debats of Wednesday affirms thatit was accepted with a far better grace by France, Austria, and Prussia than by either England or Russia. In fact, the two latter Powers are hinted to have bolted it with as wry faces as we would make in swallowing a dose of thereel elixir. We doubt the truth of this, but such a rumour will make the treaty doubly popular in France. Arrests continue to take place in Toulouse. The city, however, was reported in Paris on Wednesday to be quiet. Of what use are these arrests ? What does the French Government propose to do with the disaffected ? Capitally punish them it cannot, and for men whom oppression has rendered so reckless, a few days of confinement has no terrors. Mrs. Glass's rule, "First catch your hare," is generally a good one, but a Cabinet cook might sometimes profit ably ask, " What can I do with it when caught ?" The report that the young Duke of Bordeaux broke his thigh by a fall from his horse, is con firmed, notwithstanding the contradiction of the Gazette de France, which we give in another column. Great political discontent prevails in several of the Swiss cantons. The little Queen of Spain, acting, no doubt, under the secret instructions of her Royal mother, gives all the annoyance in her power to her guar dian and the Regent. She sheds tears, pretends illness, and will only be pacified by causing poor old Arguelles to be summoned at all hours of tie night to attend upon her. Maladies such aps affect Queen Isabella are best cured by the application of birch. It was a King who taught that he who spared the rod spoiled the child. It was reported in Paris on Wednesday, that the Royal Family of France would be present at the fetes at Boulogne. PUBLIC OPINION. The Morning Post, alluding to Sir Robert Peel's dif ficulties, says- 7 " Supposing that Sir Robert Peel be made Minister, is it not something hard that he should have to contend not only with the difficulties which belong to the time, but also with the financial deficiencies of one, two, and three years ago, Which the Ministers of those periods ought to have remedied, but which they wholly neglected?" It was a much harder task for the Whigs, when they came into office in 1830, to contend with the difficulties which the Tories had left them, by way of legacies. The country was then all but in a state of insurrection ; Swing blazed by night, and Revolt stalked abroad by day ; and so great was the 'popular ferment, that the Tories were actually afraid to allow the King to dine with the Lord Mayor at Gnildhall ! If Sir Robert Peel have difficulties, they are in a great degree of his own seeking ; but when Earl Grey took office in 1830, he had no choice between that and revolution. It is sheer cant; therefore, in the Post to whine about the Right Hon. Baronet's difficulties. The Morning Advertiier thus remarks,on Sir R.Pe l el'9. studied silence :—" Were Sir Robert Peel to announce the leading measures he has in contemplation for re lieving the commerce of the country from its present state of utter paralyzation, the inevitable effects of that announcement would be, assuming the measures to be wise and good, to restore public confidence, and to give a. consequent mighty impetus to trade and commerce— even before the measures themselves had received the sanction of the Legislature." Had the Right Hon. Baronet really any serviceable measures in contemplation, he would not so long withhold them from the country. Men are not usually tardy in communicating good news : it is only when they have bad news to communicate, that they delay the intelligence to the latest moment. The Chronicle says :—" Most newspaper readers remember the memorable announcement of the Times— ' The Whigs are out. The Queen has done it all.' Our Contemporary has made another revelation not less startling—' Peel is in. The Church has done it all.' The new Parliament is not the Parliament of the landlords, but the Parliament of the Church. The ministers of religion it is who have returned the majo rity by whom the people are to be starved. The Con servatives may depend upon it,' says the Times, that the confidence of the Church is the real secret of their power, and that the re-action by which they have been borne back to ascendancy has been essentially her worh.' We never doubted the agency of the Church in assisting to swell the monopolist majority, but we hardly expected this bold ElvOwttl of it. The Rgta)lished Church of this country has no popularity to throw away and though the political zeal of the clergy is often fully as conspicuous as their piety, and sometimes gets the better of their prudence, yet it would argue an utter absence of the latter quality if we could suppose that the avowal originated with them." That the advocates of the starving system should be lifted into office on the broad, square shoulders of Mo ther Church is no more than might have been expected; but the avaricious old dame will expect handsome wages for her labour, and the Tories can only honour her de mands in full by setting at defiance all the best interests of the country. The Times insists that it is imperatively necessary for the Tories to rule Ireland with a high hand, observ ing, " the Government which shall do its duty to Ireland will not have to subdue a ,nation, but only to repress a faction." We presume this is a sort of feeler, put forth to prepare the sister-country for another Tory Coercion Bill. The Herald is singularly diffuse on the subject of what Sir Robert Peel will not do, when he creeps into Downing-street ; but says not a word on the sub ject of what he will do. He will not, it seems, slander women—depend on a cabal—or affront the pecuniary sensibilities of Mother Church ; but we do not learn that he will promote Reform—loose the shackles of commerce—or extend the suffrage. Even his warmest and most enlightened adherents do not hint that he will do any thing of this. They merely under take to answer for his negative qualities. The Cheltenham Examiner, writing on the subject of the Speakership, says :—" We are within about a week of the meeting of Parliament, and the only point on which the State Physician has hitherto allowed the nature of his prescriptions to transpire, is in the election of Speaker. It seems that on this great point the treatment is to be of a soothing and anti irritating nature—the constitution is affected with febrile symptoms—the aspect is flushed—the pulse strong and excited—and Sir Robert Peel, good physician as he is, puts his cane to his mouth, and recommends the soothing system. So far, so good; we are sure we have no fault to find with such a course. But what will the loafers of his own party say, at thus loosing one of the snuggest gifts, and most certain iniatory steps to a Peerage, which the Minister has to bestow ? We may judge of their feelings as expressed though their organs." The Dublin Evening Post observes, in allusion to the remedial projects of the Tories:—" The remedies for the present distress are varions. The Duke of Buck ingham and Sir Robert Peel are all for the Sliding Walter and the Times for the Repeal of the New Poor-la - w .21f!---Mr. Bennett, of Wilt shire, for converting the Manchester manu facturers into hale field labourers—the StaW.lard would burn the manufacturing towns—the little Lairds of Scotland, and some of the great Lords, too, would ship off the population at the public expense, as if the public had any money to spare—while that conceited, Germanised person, Carlyle, coolly recommends a whole. sale murder of the Innocents."

The Learned' Commissioner of the Bankruptcy Courthas delivered his decision in the important case of the Vauxhall Gardens. The dispute arose out Of certain trade and tenants' fixtures, claimed on the one hand by I.,..wypps (Mr, Beynal and others) as pass ...e ,a nn the to them under the mortgage; an. other hand by the banitrup: v assignees, as part of the possessions of the bankrupts (Messrs. Gye and Hughes) in their power and disposition at the dill° of bank ruptcy. Commissioner tiolroyd considered that though the articles in question were of a nature to be held re movable as between landlord and tenant, yet they passed to lir, Reynal and others by virtue of the deed under which they had been decreed equitable mortgagees of the Vauxhall Gardens, and ho thought no distinction could be made between these articles, which were affixed be fore, and those which ivere affixed after the mortgage. The mortgagee was entitled to the security of the pro perty in its altered state, by the annexation of any addi tional fixtures. The Opera will in all probability close on Tuesday next. SPOIRMIIVG. The moors are attracting large numbers of sports men. Lord StanleY and Lord Ossulston go down to shoot at .Abernethy, in Strathspey, and the Duke of Richmond's shootings of Tomintoul are let to Lord Henry Bentinek. _ _ The grouse accounts are very dissimilar. They are said to be abundant on the moors of Yorkshire and Scotland, but scarce in other districts, from the wet sea son. The same may be said of the pheasants and par tridges. COURT--rASHIONABLES. The Duke and Duchess of Leinster and family have arrived at Carton House, Maynooth, Ireland, The Duke and Duchess of Sutherland have arrived at their scat in Staffordshire. The Duke of Rutland has left Belvoir for bis shoot ing-box in Derbyshire. The Duke and Duchess of Somerset have gone to Wimbledon. The Marquis of Abercorn is making a tour of the Lakes of Killarney. —On Monday evening 'a grand - entertainment was given by Mr. L. and Lady Jane Peel, at their residence in Kemp-town, Brighton, in celebration of the christen ing of their infant daughter. MISCELLANEOUS. 'The friends of Reform met in Rotherham on Friday last, for the purpose of forming a "Parliamentary Reform Association." Rules were adopted, and a Committee appointed. A meeting of Reformers was held on Tuesday last, at the Royal Exchange, Dublin, to consider the most suitable testimonial they could present to Lord Mor peth, in gratitude for his services to their country. -- The Irish Repeal Association, as we find by the published Report of their Committee, have come to these, among other resolutions:—" Never to support any Mi nistry that does not leave the question of Repeal an open one to the Irish people," and " never to support any Mi nistry but one that avows further Reform, and disavows Finality." The Welsh coal-fields extend over 1,200 square miles, with 23 beds of workable coal, at an average thickness of 95 feet. Each acre will yield about 100,000 tons, being at the rate of 65,000,000 tons per mile. A1t0n;..5 ton;.. 5 ioraely for waste, these would supply England with coal for 2,000 years after all the English mines were exhausted. Ghosts, it seems, are coming into fashion again. On Friday night last, two servant-maids at Cambridge were horror-struck by a phantom—." a thing of head and legs," as they described it—coolly walking at midnight into the nursery, where they were seated, and making " several strange and mysterious noises." They rushed out immediately, assistance was called in, but it had va nished, leaving behind " a curions odour." We doubt the genuineness of a phantom that walks into the.private apartments of servant-maids at midnight. Flesh and blood, we suspect, had more to do with the matter than spirit, unless indeed it were the spirit of wine ! " We esteemed it our duty," says the Cambridge Advertiser, to send a reporter to the Newmarket Tory Dinner ; but the speeches were so surprisingly stupid, that we spare our readers the infliction." Our Contem porary deserves the lasting gratitude of the political world, for this kind consideration for their feelings. We cannot, bowever, account for his being surprised at the stupidity of a Tory dinner speech. We should have been SurpriSed had it been otherwise than stupid. - On Wednesday morning, a laboufer in the West India Dock was bit through his breeches by a centipede. A Morning Paper sayS" It is not a little singular that in London men who become ruindd and are penni less, immediately commence money-lenders to any amount." This is new to us, for we had always till now imagined that such men were rather money-borrowers. A meeting within the few last days took place at Liverpool, to promote the formation of a railway to Edinburgh. The principal promoters of this measure are the Liverpool and Manchester Railway and the Grand Junction Railway Companies. _ _ . The question of Church-rates was violently agitated on Thursday week, at Cheltenham. A poll was de manded, when a majority of 157 was obtained against the rate. At a Tory dinner given on Wednesday at Reading, the Rev. S. W. Yates congratulated the com pany on " the noble stand which the Church had made against the Government plan of national education.'' It is certainly a noble boast for the Church to make, that she has resisted with all her might the diffusion of knowledge, and done her utmost to continue the people in a state of besotted ignorance ! A Church like this is admirably qualified to be the mainstay of a Tory Go vernment. They are an amiable pair, and worthy of each other! tUINTOURS 0 5 r i rs DAY. We understand that Sir Robert Peel is nearly wor ried to death by the clamours and importunities of his hunzry oullocol*nrn misa /La e. Aehooa, 4v be torn to pieces by his own hounds. We hear it rumoured that Sir Francis Burdett is at Drayton Manor, fishing for a Peerage. It is whispered at the Clubs that Mr. John Wilson Croker has offered his services to Sir R. Peel ; and that he is not particular about what place he takes, provided the salary be handsome and well secured. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. FRANCE. PARIS, WEDNESDAY.—Le Journal des Debats praises the last London Protocol, which, it asserts, was unwil lingly consented to by England and. Russia, but signed with a good grace by Austria, France, and Prussia, as putting a final termination to any power being allowed to preponderate in the concerns of the Turkish empire. Toulouse remained quiet, but the excitement in the public mind continued, and arrests were daily taking place. - The accident which happened to the Duke de Bor .deaux, by a fall from his , horse, is confirmed. The young prince has had his thigh broken. The last bul letin of the 4th mentions, however, that his Royal High ness is doing well, and that no serious results will ensue. The Quotidienne quotes a letter from Kirchberg, of the 4th instant, announcing that the fracture of the Duke of Bordeaux had been reduced, that no fever had ensued, and that the Noble patient was doing so well that the Duchess of Berri, his mother, was preparing to return to Gratz. The Temps states, that the King and Royal family in tended to honour with their presence the fetes at Bou logne, for inaugurating the column of the grand army. Marshal Soult was to leave Paris on Thursday to join the Court at Eu, and accompany their Majesties to Bou logne. According to the Siecle it had been debated in the Council of Ministers whether the whole of the French fleet should be ordered to resume its station at Vourla, but the idea was abandoned in order to avoid exciting the susceptibility of Great Britain, and depressing the Stock market. The Univers asserts that the Minister of Justice, so far from having directed the Royal Court of Angers to commence a prosecution against M. Ladre Roldin for his speech to the electors of Mans, had written to re quest that tribunal to take no steps against him. The Constitutionnel publishes a letter from Constan tinople of the 22d ult., stating that the Sultan was very weak, but not suffering from any organic disease as had been reported . He had not appeared in public for a long time. He frequently went out, but always in a state barge ; and on Fridays he visited only the mosques situ ated along the banks of the Bosphorus, Accounts from Berne, contained in the Debats, state that the canton of Tessin was a prey to the vengeful acts and violent extortions of the political party then at the head of affairs, and called for the interferenee of the Federal Diet. The canton of Solcure was likewise in a disturbed state. Le Siecle intimates that the Spanish Government might be brought to cede Minorca to France for a round sum , once it consents to sell Fernando Po to England for a mere Z - rifie.

WINDSOR, THURSDAY.—The 72d Highlanders were reviewed by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, in the Home Park, as early as half-past seven o'clock this morning. This splendid Regiment went through their .different movements in a first-rate manner. The Prince wore a Field-Marshal's uniform, and was attended by Colonel Wylde, Lord Alfred Paget, and the Hon. Major Keppel, in their respective uniforms. His Royal High neLs and suite returned to the Castle at nine o'clock, after the review. The Queen and Prince Albert enjoyed their usual morning's walk afterwards. Her Royal Highness the Princess Royal has been taken an airing twice to-day. In the afternoon her Majesty rode out in a .ponY phton, the Prince driving, and the Royal suite, in cluding the Duchess of Bedford, the Countess of Erroll, Lady Ida Hay, Lady Caroline S. Cocks, Hon.

Art, infinite in its inventions, often meets with serious difficulty in its endeavour to adapt them to the ends which 'it would wish, and is often compelled to call in the aid of subaltern means, to succeed in bringing the invention into any activity or efficient operation. Thu,s; - great as was the invention of the steam-engine its en, yet, unaided by the subservient iron -tram, it was a use" less and unmanageable invention ; the two appeared t ° be by necessity inseparably wedded, and so would mall persons say who had not seen the exhibition of yesterdst Travelling like an ordinary carriage along the Nov this vehicle, planned and invented by Mr. Squire, announced to exhibit its powers along the Totten)3o3: road. The only objects perceivable were an iron basks', behind, filled with foundry coke, and in front a vessel plenished with water to supply the waste of the e n d . The carriage had four rows of seats, and accomm odol ' sixteen, the conductor included. Starting by a stop-wateh, the engine with fo its Por t Y left. the York and Albany Hotel, Regent's Park , at ur o'clock, and proceeded steadily at its outset along th a ,... smooth plane of the Tottenham-road. Speed seal creased from the mail-coach rate of ten miles an 110 11 r to that of sixteen. The noise usually attendant of t . these engines was, with the exception of t he hies 11 the escaping steam, scarcely audible, and aft°l.,.l pleasant progress for 13 minutes through a delighto • country, it arrived at the Manor-house at Tottenham' having in that brief time completed a distance of foL tr miles and a half. The most noticeable feature in tT.: engine made itself apparent at this terminus , n amel y , to masterly command with which the engine was made turn by the conductor, forming in this evolut ion an et of a circle which comprehended not more than a leog t and a half of the engine itself ; the act managed , t e t4 with as much ease and adroitness as an equestrain rei ns a steed. On returning, the velocity was somewhat diminishes by the resistance of a strong wind, and the grout's° ascent of the road ; but the actual retardation was__ slight, as only to add a minute and a half to th e time u`'..o cupied in return, thus completing a distance of r of miles in less than twenty-eight minutes • the see': en the engine, in fact, averages at the rate of 'from nil79 u ._ to twenty miles per hour. Its wear and tear will b . b; little from the Tottenham-road, while the w heels, bo n horizontal and very broad, actually serve its smooth the roads, instead of cutting them °P, to ob ordinary narrow carriage-wheels. It was curious the serve the peculiar distrustfulness of the horses along road as the engine passed. The experiment altogether was very successful, but till we see how the machine works during the winter months, and on newly repaired roads, it would be premature to give any decided opinion as to its ultimate results. rotkeresthtoe SPCITITING INTELLIGENCE T4TTERSALVS:= - YEart.llDAr.
