The address was agreed to nem. con., and their Lordships adjourned to Thursday. In the Commons, a number of petitions were presented against the New Poor-law, and for the abolition of patronage in the Church of Scot land, &c. Mr. SANFORD gave notice of amendments to the Poor-law Commissioners' Bill, to prevent parish apprentices gaining a settlement, to give overseers their expenses, and to limit the duration of the Bill to five years. Captain PECHELL gave notice of amendments to exempt Gilbert unions from its operation. Mr. CoLQuxouN, on Feb. 23, to ask for leave to bring in a Bill to alter the law about May nooth. His profane hands should not meddle with the subject. Several questions were put, either so shortly that we cannot abridge them, or they are not worth abridgment, and for them we refer to our report. Lord STANLEY again adverted to the unfortu nate case of Mr. M‘LEork, and expressed an opinion, that for Lord PALMERSTON to lay on the table only the correspondence relative to it which had already been made public, would be very inconvenient. The Noble Lord also asked for some more distinct information as to what the Government meant to do, and what it had done to interfere for M'LEoD. He asked particularly whether the Government had taken steps in re ference to the proceedings then in progress, and which would be effectual to save Mr. M'LEOD. ViSCOllllt PALMERSTON explained that when he said, the day before, he had no objection to pro duce the correspondence in question, he did not intimate any intention, on his part, to lay it on the table ; and lie thought the Noble Lord had acted wisely in not moving fbr it. With regard to the question put by the Noble Lord, instruc tions, in anticipation of a similar case to that of Mr. M'LEoD, had been sent to Mr. Fox a year and a half ago, and on them Mr. Fox had acted in this case. Mr. Fox had,Once reported the whole case to the Govertunent, but the communication had been delayed, and it was only yesterday that the Government had sent off final and con clusive instructions. In answer to sundry questions„ it was stated, both by Lord PALMERSTON and Lord J. RUSSELL, that the Government had approved of the cap ture of the Caroline, and had signified its appro bation to the United States. It is clearly, there fore, a question for adjustment between the two countries; and we trust that the authorities at New York will not be so ill advised as to take ven geance on an individual who, trusting to their good faith, has put himself into their hands. In reply to questions, Lord MORPETH said that it was not his intention to bring in any measure relating to railways in Ireland, or to amend the Poor-law in Ireland ; but that it was intended to bring in a Bill to amend the Municipal Corpo rations Bill. _ _ _ Mr. SHAW took the opportunity of defending a Mr. BLACKER from the charge of being an Orange man, which both he and Mr. Sergeant JACK SON admitted, by their eagerness to repel the im putation, to be a disgrace. Lord MORPETH obtained leave to bring in a Bill to amend the laws for the drainage of land in Ireland, and in doing it said very properly that such a measure would confer more benefit on Ireland than his own or Lord STANLEY'S Re gistration Bill. The Noble Lord has a just ap preciation of the use of legislation, and is more honourably modest than the bulk of the law makers. Mr. F. KELLY movedfor leave tobring in a Bill, co-extensive with his Bill of last Session, to abo lish the punishment of death. It is quite unneces sary to re-state the arguments used pro. and con. on this question; we shall only therefore observe that Mr. KELLY is to introduce a measure, if no other person does, to make secondary punish ment effective, if he can. Mr. EWART, who is always active in forward ing measures of humanity and measures of free trade, seconded the motion. Lord JOHN RUSSELL again expressed his opinion that it was not expedient to alter the law to the extent proposed by the Hon. Member. No opposition, however, was made to the motion, and leave was given. Mr. EWART withdrew ;his motion to equalize the duties on East and West India produce, be cause since he gave notice her MAJESTY'S Go vernment had taken up the subject. Captain PEcHELL moved for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the Tithe Recovery Act. The Gallant Officer explained that the amendment was necessary, because Ecclesiastical Courts were not her MAJESTY'S Courts. Dr. NicHoLL very rudely said that the Bill was necessary by the bungling legiSlation of the Gal lant Officer, for which remark he was properly and spiritedly rebuked by Mr. F. MAULE and Mr. HUME. The Learned Civilian had allowed the error to pass, and he, therefore, as a law maker, was responsible for it. Captain PECHELL blundered by mistake, Dr. NICHOLL blundered by design. The former was faulty, the lat ter criminal. There are many other persons as well as Captain PECHELL who are not aware that the Ecclesiastical Courts are not the Queen's Courts; but now that Dr. NictioL has informed them that they are the Bishop's, destitute of all authority but his, many conscientious men will think it a duty to set them at defiance. It is bad enough to be the slaves of the aristocracy, but the people are not so degraded as to be the slaves of priests whom they dispise. Mr. Fox MAULE moved for leave to bring in a Bill to improve the practice and extend the juris diction of the County Courts. The object of it is to assimilate the law in all parts of England and Wales, and provide for the establishment of these Courts by one general measure. This is a step towards making the administration of the law cheap and accessible. It extends the juris diction of the County Courts ; it gives the Judge a permanent salary, and makes him dependent on the Crown. The Judges are not to practise as barristers. Some discussion arose incidentally as to the dependence of the bar on the bench-- which Mr. O'CONNELL said was subserviency— and as to the patronage of these Courts ; but, in general, the measure found favour on both sides of the House, and leave to bring in the Bill was given. Mr. Fox MAULE afterwards obtained leave to bring in a Bill to enable the LORD CHANCELLOR to transfer certain proceedings in the Court of Chancery to these County Courts. Such an alte ration would give a speedy relief to debtors, and ensure a great saving. The Bill will probably be looked on with jealousy, as it enables the LORD CHANCELLOR to increase the number of Judges in the County Courts, when necessary. Leave was given. In a Committee of the whole House, on the laws relative to the Copyrights of Design, Mr. EMERSON TENNENT explained at great length the injury which he thinks is now done to the owners of designs, by their being pirated and copied. He proposes to extend the time which a copyright lasts from three to twelve months, and moved re solutions to that effect. Mr. O'CoNNELL seconded the motion, and it will excite some surprise to see he and Mr. EMERSON TENNENT running in couples. Mr. MARK PHILLIPS opposed it as having a tendency to injure the cotton manufacture. After a protructed discussion, in which Mr. LABOUCHERE, Mr. COLQUHOUN, Mr. MORRISON, Mr. WILLIAMS, Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD, Mr. O'CONNELL, Mr. HUME, Mr. BROTHERTON, and Mr. WARBURTON, took part, though neither made a long speech, the resolutions were agreed to, and a Bill ordered to be brought in. The Address to her MAJESTY in answer to the Message about Lord KEANE, was postponed. In answer to Mr. HUME, Sir J. HOBIIOUSE stated that it was intende 1 to give Lord KEANE 2,000/. a-year for himself and the two following lives in succession to the title. The question is to be brought forward on Friday. Mr DIVETT moved for leave to bring in a Bill to enable Jews to hold office without taking the disabling oaths. Sir R. INGms of course objected to it, as when did he not object to lessening the savage bigotry of the law ? Mr. WARBURTON supported Mr. DIVETT; and Mr. GLADSTONE, who writes books about the Church, took the same view as Sir R. INGLIS. After a few honourable words from Mr. HAWES and Mr. A. WHITE in favour of the motion, leave was given. Some returns were ordered on the motion of Capt. PECHELL and Mr. O'CONNELL, and the House adjourned, at Eleven o'Clock, till Thursday. Mr. MARK PlumArs has given notice of a motion for a Committee of the House of Com mons, to inquire into the exportation of ma chinery. The short facts of the case, we believe, are these : Owing to the present state of the law, a good deal of machinery in a complete state cannot be exported. The law prohibits it. The same machinery, however, is exported piece meal. It is smuggled out, or models of it are taken away; and while the law therefore does not prevent foreigners from acquiring our machinery and learning its use—which no law can prevent, and which it is rather diabolical to aim at—it completely prevents our artizans and machine- ` ~,...,, -THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 10, Iq4l. makers from manufacturing machinery for the foreign market. It banishes English workmen to the Continent, by prohibiting them from ex porting the produce of their industry and skill. This is a state of the la* which requires revision, and we trust Mr. PHILLIPS will obtain the Com mittee for which he is to move. _ • _ That the manufacturers of machinery, now a numerous class of men, as this is now a most important branch of manufacture, would be bene fited by the removal of the prohibition, there is no doubt. The only persons who have an inte rest in retaining the prohibition, are the persons who use the machines, and who may fear a still more intense, and for them disadvantageous, com petition with the users of such machines abroad. They will now however show their sense of justice by not asking to retain the undue preference which the law concedes to them. They think, probably,that if they can keep exclusive pos3eSsidri of the machinery they may struggle successfully with t4e manufacturers of other countries. Brt — they — cannot keep these advantages. They cannot prevent the expatria tion of workmen, and they cannot make them, before they go, disgorge their knowledge and unlearn their skill; and if the workmen find a better market abroad than at home, go they will. They can only be kept at home by finding advan tages at home. To permit the foreigner to enter freely into the home market for machinery is to give the machinists those advantages. The pro hibitory law, however, gives to the users of the machines a monopoly, as against the makers of them. The machinists are, in fact, injured with a view to benefit the English manufacturer. Abolish the injury —that is, abolish the prohi bition—and the machinist will have far less temptation, or no temptation at all, to go abroad. He will make machinery at home in large quan tities, for he has greater facilities here than else where, and he will export it. In fact, the manu facture of machinery is an art in which Britain is now unrivalled, and our laws ought not to im pede the extension of so valuable and ingenious a branch of industry. Great Britain is capable of manufacturing machinery for the whole world. By what right do the law-makers prohibit her from attaining this eminence, so honourable to Great Britain, and so beneficial to the rest of mankind? We read and quoted with great pleasure, on Friday week, Sir R. PEEL'S address on opening the Literary Institution at Tamworth. We saw in it much to admire, and were ready to praise the Right Hon. Baronet as a convert to princi ples which his party had continually opposed. He advocated the progress of knowledge, and he implied that it is very beneficial, if not all-suffi cient. We were not at all surprised, therefore, to find the Right Hon. Baronet's address severely censured in the Times of last Friday. The attack appeared,in the form of a letter, (N o. I. of a series, we presume, though No. 11. has not yet appeared,) which was honoured with large types, leads, &c., to make it as conspicuous as possible, without elevating it to a leader. The Journal was willing to inflict that chastisement by the hands of another which prudence forbad it to inflict by its own hand. The writer says— I shall surprise no one who has carefully read Sir Robert's Addres;, and perhaps all who have not, by stating my convic tion, that, did a person take it up without looking at the title page, he would to a certainty set it down to be a production of the years 1827 and 1828, the scene Gower-street, the speaker Mr. Brougham or Dr. Lushington, and the occasion, the laying the first stone or the inauguration of the then called London University. I profess myself quite unable to draw any satisfac tory line of difference between the Gower-street and the Tamworth exhibition, except, of course, that Sir Robert's personal religious feeling breaks out in his Address across his assumed philosophy. 1 say assumed ; I might say affected— for I think too well of him to believe it to be genuine. What a character is given of Toryism and of its chief in that single passage. In It volumes of instruction are compressed. Hypocrisy is its corner-stone. The writer accuses Sir ROBERT PEEL, he belonging to Sir ROBERT'S party, of as suming and affecting philosophy,, and he thinks too well of Sir ROBERT to believe that his lan guage was sincere. He professes a burning ad miration for deceit. He openly avows, speaking genuine Toryism, that it is vicious to be honest. What a mass of crime is involved in that single sentence which concludes the quotation. Hypo crisy, lying, cheating, and boasting of immorality. I t is the sketch of Toryism by a master hand. " They best can paint it" who know it best, and such a description by the Tory Times is a gem to be preserved in the cabinet of every Liberal. Sir ROBERT'S philosophy, though " assumed" and " affected," resembling the genuine philo sophy of Lord BROUGHAM and Dr. LUSHING TON, is what moves the writer's anger. The more knowledge is exalted the less the ministra tions of a priesthood are necessary; and to lessen the value and importance of these sets some persons scolding and hissing as if water were thrown on red-hot iron. They will not allow knowledge even to be hypocritically praised, without taking up arms. Sir ROBERT, following in the wake of Lord BROUGHAM and Dr. Lusn- INGTON, as well as quoting Sir ISAAC NEWTON and Sir H. DAVY, came to the conclusion that " man in becoming wiser became better—that he rose in the scale of intellectual and moral existence—and that, in proportion as the veil becomes thinner through which he sees the cause of things, he will admire more the brightness of the Divine light by which they are rendered perceptible. "My firm belief is," said the Right Hon. Baronet, " that that superior sagacity which is most con versant with the course and constitution of nature, which sees the wonderful preparations which are made for the subsistence and enjoyment of the meanest animal, will be the first to believe that the Almighty Being, who has made such prepa rations for mere physical enjoyment, has not left in neglect and indifference the immortal soul of man.' All such doctrines are gall and worm wood to those who teach that the knowledge of the world never can lead to Gon; that it is a hindrance to faith in their doctrines; that to see Gon man must exclude or conquer the phy sical world; that physical enjoyment, which the Right lion. Baronet regards as a proof of the Divine existence, and as sufficient to justify a belief in another life, is the chief snare laid by the Devil; all such doctrines are directly op posed to the doctrines taught by a large body of of the Established Priests, if not by the whole of them, and therefore it is that one of their repre sentatives speaks in the Tory Times of the Right Hon. Baronet's doctrines in the following lan guage : On the occasion in question Sir Robert gave expression to a theory of morals and religion, which, of course, in a popular speech, was not put out in a very dogmatic form, but which, when analysed and fitted together, reads somewhat as follows : Human nature, he seems to say, if left to itself, becomes sensual and degraded. Uneducated men live in the indulgence of their passions, or, if they are merely taught to read, they dis sipate and debase their minds by trifling on vicious publications. Education is the cultivation of the intellect and heart, and use ful knowledge is the great instrument of education. It is the parent of virtue, the nurse of religion ; it exalts man to his highest perfection, and is the sufficient scope of his most earnest exertions. Physical and moral science rouses, transports, exalts, enlarges, tranquillizes, and satisfies the mind. Its attractiveness obtains a hold over us ; the excitement attending it supersedes grosser excitements ; it makes us know our duty, and thereby enables us to di it ; by taking the mind off itself, it destroys anxiety ; and by providing objects of admiration, it soothes and sub dues us. And, in addition, it is a kind of neutral ground, on which men of every shade of politics and religion may meet together, disabuse each other of their prejudices, form intimacies, and practise co-operation. This, it is almost needless to say, is the very theory, ex pressed temperately, in which Mr. l3rougham once expatiated in the Glasgow and London Universities. It is reserved for few to witness the triumph of their own opinions; much less to witness it in the instance of their own direct and personal 'opponents. Whether the Lerd Brougham of this day feels all that satisfaction and inward peace which he attributes to success of whate►er kind in intellectual efforts, it is not for me to decide ; but that he has achieved, to speak in his own style, a mighty victory, and is leading in chains be hind his chariot-wheels a great captive, is a fact beyond ques tion. Such is the reward in 1841, for unpopularity in 1827. What, however, is a boast to Lord Brougham, is in the some proportion a slur upon the fair fame of Sir Robert Peel, at least in the judgment of these who have hitherto been his friends. Whether Sir ROBERT were only shamming Lord BROUGHAM'S wisdom and sagacity, as the Tory writer says, or whether he were in earnest, at Tamworth, and really paying due homa ge t o " divine philosophy," the palpable discrepancy, between him and the priest party is not the less remarkable, and the homage, whether sincere or not, which he has paid to the importance of knowledge, is not the less deserving o f public approbation. The bitter hostility which is avowed to his doctrines must prove that the Priest and the Ultra-Tory party have a deadly enmity to knowledge, and will crush it, though encouraged by Sir R. PEEL, wherever they can. That is their creed. Toryism and knowledge, Toryism and humanity, are antago nist principles, and no man can serve the cause of Toryism without labouring to stifle knowledge, and all the brotherly affections of mankind. But though Sir R, PEEL, at least in what he affects-and assumes, is ranged on the side of the , Liberals, he must and will, in his actions, go with the Tories. For the sake of power, he will condescend to be the slave of the men who ac cuse him of being a hypocrite. He will justify their accusation. Fa r 'from being satisfied with promoting secular knowledge, when he returns to office he will most likely endeavour to plant more churches, and endow more parsons. Far from then acting as if knowledge ennobled and elevated man, he will de v ote the public income to hire and bribe an additional army of clergy men to suppress knowledge, and. to teach that they alone can lead men to morality here, and hap piness hereafter. Far from then supporting the doctrine that the preparations for physical en joyment supply a proof that the ALMIGHTY has not left in neglect and indifference the immortal soul of man—which implies, as the preparation has always, and everywhere existed, universal redemption, and the redemption of the whole human race of all time—he will then de mand more Church, aye, and he will inflict civil privations on those who do not belong to the Church, though it deny, in opposition to his own doctrine, redemption to allbut the small number of human beings who have believed as it has be lieved during the last 1,800 years, and who may have received the sacrament at the hands of its pastors. Sir ROBERT PEEL, by his conduct in supporting the Church, proves every day that time Tory writer of the Times knows him well, and that he was only shamming philosophy when he assumed of Lord BROUGHAM.theIan language and affected the senti ments Since the above was in type, which a press of other matter compelled us to defer, No. 11. of the series in the Times, and the last, has appeared. The first attack has kindled the wrath of some of Sir ROBERT'S compromising friends, and the let ters on the Tamworth oration are stopped. Some observations in it at the close, completely identify the writer, who signs " Catholicus," with the priest party. His objections to Sir ROBERT'S doctrines are, that they slur over or dissipate the passions, and do not by means of ref . ?;ion aim to re model- the heart of other words, the writer derides all knowledge as useless to rectify and enlighten conduct, except that of which the prie,,ts claim a monopoly. He quotes wise man instances of indi duals knowing their duty and neglecting to per form it; but Christians do that as well as heath ens; and, at least, the man who does know his duty, is more likely to perform it than he who has no knowledge of it whatever. How a man igno rant of his duty is to do it, except, like the slaves of the Jesuits in Paraguay, they do what the priests tell them, we know not. To have this writer, who avows himself an admirer of hypo crisy, insincerity, and deceit, who thinks " too well" of Sir ROBERT PEEL, not to suppose that he deliberately brimmed the confiding people who lent him their ear and their minds at Tam worth, to impress on them the image of his own soul—to have this avowed enemy of knowledge and defender of the lowest and most despicable vice, identified with the priest party, is for us a great delight. It demonstrates clearly that they will stop at no falsehood, no guile, no deceit which serves to attain their end. They even brand their greatest leader as committing one of the paltriest tricks of low charlatans, and as being one of the paltriest of mankind. The Paris Journals of Saturday and Sunday have been received. On Friday the Chamber of Deputies was engaged with the Customs' Bill. In the course of the debate M. VICTOR GRAN DIN had the peculiar French mob patriotism, and the French mob refinement of taste to oppose all commercial intercourse with England, alleging that if a treaty was concluded with us, a repeti tion might be expected .of our conduct towards China, to whom we say, " Receive our opium or we will murder you. Take your choice ; the poniard or the poison." The Constitutionnel and the Journal des Debcit's do not report these ex pressions, which we regret to add called forth no manifestation of disgust in the Chamber, but they figure very distinctly in the report of the debate which appears in the National of Saturday. The man who could utter them after the perusal of the first night's debate in the British Parliament, must be too contemptible for serious notice on this side of the Channel. We leave this man and his speech to the chastisement of the Journal des Debats, and the reflections which every honour able mind in France must make upon an out rage of all decency, truth, and international good feeling. The Journal des Debats of Sunday publishes the following letter, addressed by Admiral STOPFORD to the Governor of Malta dated the 14th of January : " Sir,-1 have the honour to make known to you that Mehemet Ali, having restored the Ottoman fleet, recalled his army from Syria, and accepted all the conditions which the Sultan had' offered him ; the port of Alexandria and the coast of Syria are no longer exposed to any hostility on the part of the Sultan or his Allies. (Signed) " ROBERT STOPFORD." The Moniteur Parisien denies that there is any truth in the report that Marshal SOULT wanted to get rid of MM. GUIZOT, lIUMANN, and MAR TIN du NORD. The harmony of the Cabinet is undisturbed and complete. The following paragraph appears in the Na tional of Saturday On Friday morning M. Montour, proprietor of the France, and M. Lubis, the principal editor of the same journal, were arrested at their dwelling-houses, and after having been examined before M. Justice Jourdain, they were committed to the prison of St. Pelagie, on a charge of forgery. A private letter from Naples, dated Jan. 29, contains the following passage " A frightful land-slip occurred in the commune of Gragnano, neari Castellamare, about 14 miles from this city, on the night of Friday, the 22d instant, when the inhabitants, who were almost entirely agricultural labour ers, wire in bed. That part of this populous commune which lies nearest the mountain which overhangs it, was suddenly overvihelmed, and 113 persons perished in one grave. The King immediately sent a large body of pioneers, and went himself to superintend their work. As yet only 65 bodies have been dug out, and five persons were found still alive, who, although in great danger, may yet be recovered." The Venus frigate and the Veloce steamer sailed on the 2d from Brest for Toulon. The ANuabian Mercury, under date the 28th ult., states the Austrian army was on its full war footing. At a mo ment's notice the Austrian Government could bring law the field 300,000 men and 600 pieces of cannon. The Cologne Gazette publishes a letter from Frankfort, stating that the Austrian Government was about to borrow 40,000,000 Or 50,000,000 florins of the houses of Roths child and Bethmann. The Malta Times of the 28th of January says— " Soliman Pacha has arrived at Cairo, with all the artillery of the army of Syria, 8,000 cavalry, and 8,000 infantry. 6' Ibrahim Pacha was at Jaffa, where the Viceroy's steamer, the Nile, was to convey him to Alexandria." We hear that the nomination of General Berthon, aide. de-camp to the King, to the post of Chief of the Staff of the Army of Africa, has just been signed by the King. We have frequently remarked that England, always so ready to complain of what it calls the spirit of conquest, neglects no opportunity to extend its own influence in all parts of the globe. At this moment it is towards central Africa that it directs its investigation, and no doubt we shall soon see her established there. 4.11.••••• • The following details are given by a London Journal, respecting the expedition preparing for the Niger, of which we have already spoken.—( Here follows a quotation which has already appeared in The Sun.) What is the meantime re we doing? Are we taking advantage of the posit on of Constantine to establish a communication with Timbectoo, which may become the route of a caravan as important, perhaps, as that of India? No ; we shall wa t till the English have obtained a pre ponderance in these countries and exclude us from them, when we might have anticipated them. A letter from Luneville, of the Ist of February, says it is decided that the Duke of Nemours is to go to Africa, as soon as be recovers from the effects of a violent sore throat, but will return to Paris, and proceed to Toulon as soon as General Bugcaud has re-organised the army of Africa. The Duko of Aumale will command two of these detached battalions, and perhaps lead the vanguard in the division commanded by his brother. Numbers of sailors have passed through Paris to-day, on their way to Toulon, Brest, and Cherbourg, —Le Com merce.

BERLIN, FEB. 3.—Major-General Von Hess has arrived here from Vienna. —Prussian State Gazette. QUEEN CHRISTINA.. --Our private letters from Naples of the 25th ult., deny that the King had sent an invita tion to his sister, Queen Christina, to come to Naples. It appears, on the contrary, that his Majesty had notified to the ex-Regent of Spain, not to presume to appear at his Court, and had expressly forbidden the Dowager- Queen going to Rome on a visit to her daughter. Oar corres spondent adds, that the Roman Court, usually so gallant towards ladies, received Queen Christina with much cool ness, notwithstanding the pressing recommendation of King Louis Philippe, and the officious interference of his representative at the Vatican.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, TUESDAY EVENING. There was no improvement in the English Stocks to day, for although a few purchases, soon after the ccm rnencement of business, gave prices a little more firmness in the morning, they subsequently mo re th an l os t w h at they had gained, Consols for immediate transfer closing at a decline of 881 and 88i, and for the Account at 88f to 88k.

Brazil Stock was at 721, and Dutch Two-and-a- Half per Cents. realised 49,i to 50. Shares were scarcely dealt in at all. The Great Wes tern obtained 24, the New 101, and the Birmingham 85 premium. The Foreign Exchanges were steady, but not buoyant. The rates on the principal bill cities of the Continent were these :—Paris 25f. 50c. to 55f. ; Amsterdam, 12 21; llamburgh 13 71 ; Frankfort 148; and Trieste 10 1i to 2.

The news of the adoption of the project of the law on the forti fications, and the re-action produced by this vote on the Bourse of Paris, contributed towards the fall of our prices.

(From the Calcutta Papers. ) LIEUTENANT LOVEDAY.—When Major Boscawen's force, about 1,500 men, reached Dadur, which they found in the occupation of the enemy, and 3UO of our sepoys besieged in their entrenchments, an attack was immediately commenced, and the Brahoes dispersed directly and fled to the mountain passes. On the field the body of Lieutenant Loveday was dis covered with the head nearly severed from the body, which was still warm ; and by the statement of his servant, who had re mained with him the whole of his captivity, it would appear that the guard had joined the fugitives at the first onset of the British force, but they subsequently returned and cut him down : the body was not mutilated, but was in an emaciated state from fever.

The Music Saloon having been purchased by the Mechanics' Institute, the Socialists are obliged to evacuate it on Thursday next, and we are not aware that they have obtained any other room for their meetings.

A letter from T,flis states that General Illkosowski, chief of the staff of the army of the Caucasus, has been sent to the Shah of Persia to settle the amount of the troops which Russia is to furnish for putting a stop to the brigand age of the Kurds. It is expected that these Russian corps will begin their march for Persia in April. Rear- Admiral Kazin will, it is said, have the command of the fleet in the Caspian Sea."

His Majesty the King of the Belgians, attended by Lord Alfrod Paget, Equerry in Waiting on the Queen, ar rived at Buckingham Palace, at half past one o'clock yes terday afternoon, in one of the Royal carriages and four, with outriders, from Claremont, on a visit to her Majesty.

Her Majesty has transmitted, through the Duchess of Kent, 201. to be distributed amongst the distressed poor at Kensington; and her Royal Highness has also bestowed a donation for the same benevolent purpose. His Serene Highness, Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, arrived at Marlborough House, Pall-mall, on a visit to her Majesty the: Queen Dowager: yesterday afternenn, from the Royal Military College at Sandhurst. THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.- His Grace has passed another good night, and, from all accounts, will be able in a day or two, to resume his usual occupa tions. The Duke's recovery is so complete that it is not considered necessary to issue a bulletin. DUBLIN AND DROGHEDA RAILWAY.-The works of this line arc proceeding well, and the Sham holders are exhibiting increasing confidence. Several of them are plying up in advance, the best proof they can possibly give of their good opinion, and the shortest and most effectual way of carrying out that opinion to their own benefit D ÜBLI N.—The Lord Lieutenant has appointed Lieut tl.e lion. St. George Gerald Foley to be an Aide de. Camp, from being an extra in succession to Capt. S. R. Conroy, of the Coldstream Guards, resigned ; and Capt. Francis ,Mountjoy Martin, of the 2d Life Guards, hasbcen appointed an Aide-dc-Camp,extra v.

Their Lordships will adjourn in the course of next week, to attend the Earl of Cardi gan's trial in the House of Lords. WINDSOR, MONDAY EVENING.—Her Ma jesty has given strict injunctions that the Royal christen ing shall be conducted upon a most magnificent scale. Her Majesty has commanded that the celebrated tiger's head (taken from Tippoo Saib by the Earl Cornwallis), with a solid ingot of gold for his tongue, and crystal teeth, should be sent from the Castle to Buckingham Palace, to be placed on the side-board in the dining room, amongst the other rich and splendid ornaments wi t h which the room is to be decorated. There is a curious talc connected with this valuable trophy, which may be worth relating. It was, for several y ears, placed in the museum of the East India Company in Leadenhall street ; but it having by some means been ascertained by the late King that this celebrated footstool of Tippoo Saib was intended for the then Sovereign of England, it was ultimately, after remonstrances on one part, and nego tiation on both sides, handed over to William the Fourth, and it has been ever since preserved in the plate-room at Windsor Castle. A splendid golden model of a peacock, nearly covered with an im mense profusion of precious stones, and estimated to be of the value of thirty thousand pounds, has likewise been commanded by the Queen to be for warded from the Castle to Buckingham Palace, to orna ment one of the Royal apartments on the day of the chris tening. A special messenger arrived at Windsor yesterday evening to carry them to town. He left this morning with his valuable charge. The magnificent gold and crimson canopy, under which the peacock is placed in the gold pantry in the Castle, and the two beautiful flags taken from Tippoo Saib (forming part of the ornaments), have een also despatched to Buckingham Palace. THE NEW JUDGE.—The creation of the new Judge, Mr. Wightman, will take place at Lincoln's-inn in accordance with the usual custom when the appointment occurs out of term. He will go the circuit with Baron Rolfe, and 11;s name already appears on the circuit papers as "J. Wightman." _ _ The 'A aiquis Camden last week paid into the Exchequer the sum of twenty-four thousand and fifty pounds one shilling, which sum, added to former payments by the late Marquis, forms an aggregate of 366,1161. 14s. freely surrendered to the State. UNEQUAL TAXATION. - The railway pro prietors pay one-eighth of a penny per mile, the stage coach proprietors one-fourth, and the postmasters three fourths of a penny for every passenger they carry—in other words, the individual coachmaster is taxed twice as heavily, and the individual postmaster six times as heavily, as the great joint-stock companies. MURDER AT HORFIELD. - Since the boy Rudge has been conveyed to Gloucester, his coat has been examined, sod it is now discovered that it contains a great many distinct spots of blood which are not to be mistaken : the sleeves arc particularly marked, and the lining of one of them has been torn out : the lining of the pocket of his trousers was also bloody.—Bristol Times. Monday morning, at + a quarter before six o'clock, an explosion took place at the extensive distillery belong ing to Messrs. Seeger and Evans, situate at Milbank, Westminster. It appears that the large still became over charged and exploded, forcing off the extensive roof of the still-house ; a quantity of spirits became ignited, and the utmost alarm prevailed fur the safety of the extensive building and stock. The fire-engines, with a large body of the brigade-men, were promptly in attendance, and by great ex, rtions succeeded in arresting the progress of the flames. Considerable damage has been sustained to the building, but fortunately not any person received injury. TIIREE BOYS SHOT.—Thc little town of Yeevil has recently been thrown into a state of great ex citement, by a report that a man named Hodder had shot three boys, which turned out to be too'true. It appeared that Hodder, who is 72 years of age, has recently married a young female aged 17, and a number of the boys of the town had been in the habit of greatly annoying him by epithets intimating that he had dyed his hair before mar riage. This annoyance so irritated the old man that he discharged his loaded gun at a party of the boys who were engaged in this occupation, and three of whom were wounded, one of them, named White, seriously. Hodder has since been in custody, and has undergone one exami nation before J.

RAMSGATE, FEB. 7, WIND E.N.E., STRONG GALE AND HARD FROST.-At half past ten a.m., his Ma jesty the King of Belgium and suite landed here from her Majesty's packet Widgeon, from Ostend, which place they left about a quarter-past three o'clock this morning, but were nearly prevented from getting to sea by the ice. An extraordinary chase and capture of a fox took place on Saturday, the 30th ult. A hound and a cur, the property of Mr. Joseph Harrison, of Brownrigg, unkennelled a fox in Molfell, a large plantation of 370 acres, the property of H. Hovrard, Esq., of Greystoke. After running for two hours the cur returned home, but the hound continued the pursuit. Reynard at length broko cover, took away through Gowbarrow Park, to the Lake of Ullswatcr, and sought refuge on the boat-house landing, the dog " Ratler" close to him, though quite exhausted. Old reynard then leaped into the lake as a last resource, where he was taken by a boat, after a chase of three hours. He weighed fifteen and a half pounds. Carlisle Journal. ANOTHER CORN-LAW MURDER.-011 Mon day an inquest was held at the Half-moon and Seven Stars, Stanhope street, Drury-lane, before Mr. Higgs, on Thomas Vaughan, aged seventy-two, whose death occur red under the following circumstances :—James Dixon, of 23, Blackmoor-street, stated that he lodged in the second floor of the above house, in which deceased (a tailor) oc cupied the front attic. Friday evening witness heard a noise, as if some one had knocked at his door, and on opening it he found deceased seated on the stairs in a very exhausted state, and suffering severely from the cold. Witness assisted deceased to rise, and led him into his (witness's) room, where he made him sit down be fore the fire. Deceased said he wanted to go out and see about some work, but witness dissuaded him from so doing, and in about an hour afterwards le d him up stairs into his own room.

ARTHUR O'NSILL. TO THE MIDDLE CLASSES OF THE UN KINGDOM.—ADDRESS, No, I. Gentlemen,—Many years have elapsed since BritAin witnessed a scene similar to that which took place at Leeds: on the 21st ult. A scene that has strengthened in us the hope long cherished, that this year will not be charac terised, like the past, by the flagrant neglect of that duty so important to both the employer and the employed, of meeting together, and consulting each other on subjects of mutual interest. A deep chasm, produced by mutual pride, prejudice, and ignorance has long separated the two classes. We hope the day leas at length dawned that shall see that breach filled up by mutual necessity, forbearance, and intelligence, so as to form a common ground whereon to stand in united opposition against the common foe. In the public interview at Leeds, the unanimous declara tion of the Chartist Delegates was, " That the People's Charter was the only fulcrum on which the powerful lever of the masses eculd rest." You will ask what has given rise to the deep-seated and almost universal desire of the millions to establish the prin ciples of the Charter. It is not because they are opposed to any number of individuals as such—it is eot because they desire to take away power from one section of they community, and confer it upon another; it is because the► full perception of the evils necessarily connected with that demon monster, irresponsible power (by whomsoever pos sessed), has penetrated into the depths and dens of po verty, and, enforced in a tenfold degree by their increas ing necessities, has found a home in every heart, and an echo upon every action of the unenfcanchised many. Its wars, taxations, tyrannies, persecutions, and open enmity to the best interests of manufacturer and operative, have made them miserable, whether it appeared under the name of Toryism or Whiggery. No wonder, therefore, that in the People's Charter they hail principles, which, by con ferring power on all who aro justly entitled to it, shall so control the Legislator as to make him the virtual repre sentative of the will and interests of all. From their thorough conviction of the necessity of a change in the Government (without reference to indivi duals), they refused you their assistance in the Anti. Corn law agitation ; they felt persuaded that, although by a momentary pressure the lion was forced to give up its prey, they had no security, that as soon as the pressure was removed ho would not stretch out hi s u nhallowed paw, and take it in again, being still possessed of the power. In addition to this, they felt that, ie their unjust exclu sion from the franchise, they were slaves. Their desire was not to obt a i n that which would have only made them well-fed slaves. They desired liberty for her owra sake. The degrading thought was constantly before them, that they were deprived of a right which a few bricks and mortar conferred upon others, no more industrious, vir tuous, or intelligent than themselves. And however much many may doubt it, there is a deep-seated desire among the millions to obtain by the development of their minds that intellectual and moral importance which alone en nobles man, and without which he is but a worm, frowever gilded and however rich. Gentlemen, these are the rea sons that have given rise to that deep determinatien.of the masses never to agitate for any measure short of justice to all. We rejoice that the same effects that nave been produced in our minds are now displaying themselves in yours. We have long deplored the ex istence among you of a peculiar spirit of caste that has: hitherto prevented you from holding intercourse with. those whom you supposed birth, rank, or riches, had. pieced below you. It has prevented you from examining our principles. We fear you have too often cherished groundless prejudices ; believing a press that has always pandered to these prejudice , , as a means of securing suc cess, and confounding the fortuitous and rash conduct of "a few men with the mighty and sacred principles they professed to atvocate. Actuated by these feelings, and swayed by these errors, you have neglected your true in terests till, although there is still abundant field for com mercial enterprise, some of the richest advantages have been lost never to be regained. We rejoiced that in your desire to extend to others their rights you proclaim you are wiser to-day than you were yesterday ; too long have we all been ignorant of that truth, that to be happy ' and prosperous we must be just. That to feel all the hor rors of banki uptcy and misery we require only to be serAsh and exclusive. How little real power does the present franchise confer upon you ? Witness the reception of your Anti-Corn law Bill by your nominal representatives. In truth there is no representation ; your power only enables you to no minate, once in seven years, an individual who then be comes independent of your opinions, and too often careless of our interests. It there be one feeling of contempt in your minds for any man, it is for him who, possessing the franchise, looks down with supercilious pride on those who have it not ; his power is but a name, his pride is that of a maniac, who points to his straw coronet and wooden sceptre, and thinks himself a king, though chained and miserable. Every day and every hour the commercial prospects be come more gloomy ;* universal bankruptcy is inevitable, unless exclusive prejudices are speedily thrown away. There is no hope but in a union of the oppressed classes to secure for themselves virtual instead of nominal repro eentation. We remain your unenfranchised fellow-subjects, JOHN COLLINS. ARTHUR O'NEILL. " The news of the New York panic, come to hand since the above was written, fearfully verifies it. STATE OF THE RlVER.—Since the memor able frost of 1814, when a fair was held on the Thames, the river has not keen in so bad a state, or covered with so much ice, as it was on Monday afternoon. The increase of the ice has been most extraordinary during the last four days. On Sunday, just before high water, the tiers of colliers near Bell Wharf-stairs yielded to the pressure of the ice, and were driven from their moorings. The ships were forced against each other in all directions, and spars and bowsprits u ere breaking, while occasionally bulwarks were stove in. Some of the vessels were driven over towards the south shore, and many were carried by the ice a mile or a mile and-a-half up the river befere they were secured. The Lady Saumarez steam-ship, chartered by the Commer cial Company to proceed to Boulogne, left Fresh Wharf, with about sixty passengers, on Sunday, at ten o'clock, and proceeded as far as Globe-stairs, Rotherhithe, where her further progress was stopped by the ice, which formed a complete barrier across the stream. The steamer, after making several ineffectual attempts to cut through the ice, was compelled to put back and re land her passengers at the Custom-house, and after wards cast anchor off St. Katharine's, where she still remains. On Monday the navigation was almost entirely suspended, and we believe the Dundee steam-ship, from Dundee, was the only arrival during the day, with the exception of a few coal-harps, each navigated by three or four lightermen. The navigation above Blackwell was suspended. The Gravesend and Woolwich steamers have ceased running, except two vessels from Blackwell, and very little business was doing either in the docks or in the wharves alongshore. On Monday the Thames Po lice received information that the body of a man bad been seen floating amidst the ice in Blackwell reach, and could not be got out. It was said that a lighterrien an swering the same description had been seen alit? on Sunday morning near Woolwich on the ice, that he was calling loudly for help, and that no one could reach him, or succeed in throwing a line to him. It is feared he af terwards perished of cold. About a fortnight ago, a man while engaged in breaking up an old covered drain, in the neighbourhood of Aberdeen, came upon a litter of three your,.. foxes, appa rently about ten days old ; he was about to 'kill the " var t mint," when his son, a boy of twelve years of age, suggested that they would be a good prize for " grumphy," an old sow that had brought forth a few days before: Grumphy strutting forward with a grunt, picked them up one by one, and carried there to her inner chamber. The fate of the young reynards seemed so inevitable, that no one thought it necessary to superintend their destruction : the surprise of the honest ditcher's wife, however, may be judged of, when on looking in on the second following day, the young foxes were all found snugly ensconced among the young pigs —there they still remain and are thriving. What is strange connected with this same pig is, that a couple of years ago, she formed an intimacy with a goose ;. hh the two were inseparable, the pig lying on her side allni a g nd t hda. • painful sf o tr f l head h the goose between the fore legs, and the neck l tvv y ho i e n tr g o, al dan adroitlye, sow r sa o n s va s et hadentlhdi e ienr yg i oo ) i fhu g etr ' i h s rgio s m i ffl d ba e slf was eventhe di c s a a se disappeared • Theth gooses n ce, an d p a p n ol d in a mysterious manner about a • that the poor goose mas.day.

So desperately ravenous were the brutes, that it was only after additional assistance had been obtained, and the mutilated animal dragged out of the stable, that they were overpowered and driven from their prey.
