The explosit in in the House of Commons on Friday was felt in the House o f Lords la't night; and the prodigious haste the Duke of Rocictsronaat has made to denounce the Minis terial proposition before it be known, is another con proof of the exquisite tenderness of that raw in the _land lords which the Mlnisters have rubbed. The Duke, on Ptseati'ag 120 petitions, principally from places in :Bucks, against any alteration of the 'Corn-laws, said 'that the annor,ncentent on Friday had induced the 'petitioners to cot nmunicate with him and express their as toni.hment and rs gret that the head of her MAJESTY'S Go vernment should have united with his colleagues in altering .the Corn laws. The Noble Duke hoped that the Commons , vrould, by their opinion, dispel the fears of the agriculturists, :and enable therm to enjoy in peace their own property. What a scandal to call a tax property ! Of course the Noble Duk e quoted some words formerly used by Viscount AlELeotta - ,r E , describing very happily, certainly, the temporary ev.is of changing the law, but also describing the permanent evils of continuing it, and - warned the Noble Viscount that, he would throw th a country into confusion. Viscount MELBOURNE showed by a quotation from a former speech of his, the: be had never declared his adhesion to the tpresent Corn-law, and had always stated, that the alteration in it was only a question of time, hut that it must be altered. He further declared that the time ha", now arrived when the exi gencies of the State made it im /ussible to leave that MASTER GiILIEVANCE UNTOUCHED, to which declaration let all the ?people say " A men." The Earl of Eirow expressed great regret at the speech of the Noble Vis.ount, on. account of his Noble Friend's cha racter. He \canted to know whether the principle to be fol lowed was protection sir taxation ; if it were protection Corn laws were all right and proper,— if it were taxation, it was such a monstrous tl.ing that it had never been done by any -country to tax the, 'bread of the people. 'The Earl of WaNcsul.sta followed on the same side, and made a prodigious deal of noise. The proposed measure was a tax, he said, cn corn, a tax upon the agricultural interest, a tax on the most. essential article of food, and he would give it all the opposition in b is power.—(Lord STANHOPE gave assent to this.) It had hit , ten° been protection, it was now to be a tax on bread, and, in Gon's name, let their Lordships resist it. So these Noble Lcrals delude themselves, and fancy they can delude the country , by making a distinction, where there is no difference, betwee protection and taxation. At present the tax on corm is about 235. per quarter ; Ministers mean to reduce it. according to the. supposition, to about ss. or is. , but it is to be now kept up Tor the revenue of the State, and not for the benefit of thelan dlords ; and these foolish Lords suppose that while the thing, remains the same, or rather, its mischievous effect will be p' •obably diminished, that a change in its name alters its ch aracter. An onerous tax for protection i s a good thin, ;, according to them ; a light tax for re venue is tri be abhorred by men and Gon. We can not see muds difference in them ; but the heavier tax to en.. rich the la ndlords is much the more hateful. In every word which the :Earl co RIPON and the Earl of WINCHILSEA said against a bread tr.x in any shape, we cordially agree ; but their denuncia Sinus aAdy with more force to the present fluctuating tax tha s to tl'.e tax, if it be moderate, to be proposed by Mi nisters. W e would recommend Ministers to consider of this in tin e, and instead of being parties to continuing the tax on corn,, to .king all that odium on themselves, to come into our viv.rs snd abolish the Corn-laws altogether. That is the cer tain W ay to gife a stimulus to enterprise, and make the altera tions' in the other taxes which they propose answer their exile ctations. I .Ord DuNFERNILINE in presenting a petition from seven ele rgymen complaining that they are deprived of their rights itered at some length into the interminable difference be tween the Scotch Church and the Scotch law authorities, which he said ought to be stopped, otherwise the difference would extend to other inns of the empire. 'fhe Assembly had attempted to enforce its own act in defiance of authority. Something definite ought immediately to be done, or there - would :be two churches in every parish, one the prop of the StatrJ; the other th e prop o f t h e General Assembly. The FP'.ale Lord gently hinted that the patronage of the Govern .m.ent flow, d over on and fertilized the opposers of authority. Viscount NIELROURNE adhered to his resolution of not inter !Tering, trusting apparently to the rabid party recovering their .senses. Alter some interesting_ conversation, in which the Earl of RODEN took the part of the clergy, the petition was laid on the table. 'lheEall of GLENGALL brought the case of Mr. STANLEY, 'the Secretary to the Poor-law Commissioners for Ireland, under the notice of the House. Mr. STANLEY, it will be recol lected, was examined at the bar, and proved to have altered a paper which had been ordered to be laid on the table of the House. The Noble Earl moved that Mr. STAN LEY made the alteration in contempt of the authority of the House. After a short debate the resolution - was carried. The Noble Earl then moved that Mr. STANLEY be ordered to attend at the bar of the House ; but after it had been explained that Mr. STANLEY was in bad health, he with drew it, and a resolution was passed stating the reason why it was withdrawn, so that their Lordships might not appear to waive any of their privilege or power. The minute of the Board on the subject of the resignation or dismissal of Mr. STANLEY was also ordered to be laid on the table, and so ends, we beli eve , t h at great Cloumel affair, by whi c h , the Eall of GLENGALL and other Irish Tory Peers were to blow up the Ministers. At Half -past Nine their Lordships Adjourned. In the Commons, a Jr.A G. PALMER gave notice that he 'would mov e t o postpone the Committee on the Colonial Pos sessions Bill. That is the beginning of the warfare which the corruptionists are to wage against the whole system of Im posed amendments to our commercial code. A new writ for Sandwich wai'iisued to supply the place of Sir RtJFANE DONXIN, deceased. Lord STANLEY postponed his Registration Bill for a fort night, which looks as if it would be given up. Mr. HANDLEY complained of the Morning Chronicle. It had misrepresented him to have said, on Friday evening, that he would second the CHANCELLOR of the ExcisEQuen. in dealing with the variou s d etails of the. proposed alteration of of the Corn law, wi.ereas he stated' "that he should do his duty"' to his constituents arid the public," implying that he would oppose the Alinister's plan. lie moved that the printer of the Morning Chronicle be called to the bar ; but after a few words from Mr. Hume, withdrew the motion. Viscount SANDON gave notice of a motion on Friday, to take the sense of the douse on the CHANCELLOR f the Ex- CHEQUER'S P.udget resolutions, including, we presume, the alterath n the Corn-131v, which will at once b r i ng t h e mat ter to an issuP. All the flends of free trade and justice must be resent on Friday to support Ministe rs . Sir ROBERT INGLIS aisu gave notice of his intention of taking the sense or the House on the propriety of allowing any British subject within her Majesty's dominion s to consume slave g:ewn sugar. The Hon. Baronet will of course, there fore, st p the present practice of refining Cuba and Brazil sugar in bond. and supplying Mr. GLADSTONE'S estates in .Demo-ar a with it at a cheap rate. His West India friends will not thank the Hon. Baronet for his zeal. It is delightful, however. to see all the inei ns ,i ves i n tele , ing pr,feQs-rs of all the puriri , s to ea g er 1,, signs! ze t h e people of England, vo - to tong suffn ing es they are, must now know who are their real friends. The House went into Committee on the Punishment of Death Bill, but interesting as that subject is at other times it has lost all its interest now when the question is whether a large number of the people shall be annually doomed to or saved from starvation to please the protected landlord. After s.evaral divisions on clauses of the Bid, all of which were against Mr. KFLLV, that gentleman said that finding he could not Lear up against the whole weight of the Government, he would not carry the Bill any further. '1 he House resumed. The House then went into Committee on the Criminal mus ' tice Bill, and were occupied for a considerable time with some amendment proposed by Mr. W. PATTEN, relative to compensating the Coroner of Manchester, and the Clerk to the Peace, and Clerk to the Justices of Lancashire, which was eoutested with the vigour of a personal dispute. Mr. MARK l, 'Burs was the prin c ip a l opponent. 'Jr, PATTEN'S clauses, however, were lost on a division by I`lB to 73. A clause proposed by Lord EGERTON to exempt Bolton from `the Dll was lost by 75 to 31. The Bill was ordered to be reported. At One o'clock the House Adjourned. I The old Poor-law was abe:;, E h e a b e cause the paupers were eating the estates or the gentry. But, according to the Stawlfitrci, and the passage is well wonky the attention of the landlords, the Poor-law, together with the Corn-law, cannot exizi, and must be abolished. If the Corn-law be abolished, • the landlords will have a dimi nished rental ;if the Poor-law be abolished their estates will be shared by the paupers. Either way the landlords are in a most unenviable po sition. But hear our Tory Contemporary : The Corn-laws do to some extent, though less i than is be lieved, keep up the price of provisions; but the practical effect of the New Poor-law, and whatever ha , been pretended to the contrary, the intended effect, is to bring down the rate of wages. These are two operations tha.c cannot go on together without injustice to the working classes ; and if the New Poor-law is to remain, the Corn-laws must give way. They who have all along thought with us can have no difficulty in joining the people in efforts to get rid of the odious Alalthusian law ; and for the Conservatives from whom we unfortunately have dif fered upon thispornt, we respectfully warn them, that they can not save that hateful law. Its doom has gone forth. The voice of the "country has unequivoeally pronounced sentence upon it from the hustings at Nottingham. Conservatives may damage their own interests, and compromise the interests of their party, and they have done this too long, by the attempt to save this monument of the folly and cruelty of their political antagonists—but save it they cannot. The poor landlords then are doomed, as well az; the Poor-law, and whether Tories or Whigs govern us they may prepare to see their wealth depart and their order decline. • Our Contemporary has another passage which, being found in its pages, deserves consideration. The Standard habitually insists on maintaining the enthroned magnificence of a mitred priest hood, that the splendour of its wealth may im pose on our senses, and continually demands mere geld for that body it supports the injus tice of taxing Dissenters to enrich the Church ; and above all it advocates zealously tbe Corn law, in order to add to th e wea lth V of the idle landlord at the expense of the industrious la. bourer; yet it, last night, contained the following words : For ourselves we do not conceal the opinion, that it is not only possible, but easy, to render the working classes in Eng land the most contented and loyal people upon the face of the earth, and the most attached to the laws and institutions of their country ; but to do this we must treat them as citizens, and not as slaves. We must restore to them an interest in the institutions which they are to defend; renounce the wor ship of Mammon as the deity of our national policy ; and ensure to every man a fair share of his own earnings. It is a mistake to suppose that the mere labourer alone suffers by the tyranny of wealth; the grievance ascends to classes who never dream of the real cause of their sufferings—it meets the shopkeeper, the professional man, and even the scholar, in the weight of gold thrown into the scale against him, what ev.r the object of his pursuit. But the reform must begin at the foundation ; raise the condition of the humbler classes—of men living by labour—and by the one act you elevate all the sons of industry, whatever their rank. - We delight to see such sentiments in the Tory papers, and rejoice to think that the Corn-law proposition of the Ministers is the parent of the Standard's wisdom, begotten on the Standard's wrath. Row raise the condition of the labourer, —how treat the working classes as citizens, not asslaves. t—how ! but by not plundering them, and by ach.nitting them into all the privileges of the State. At present, because a man is not abl e t o e in a ten-pound house, he is disfranchised; because he is not the owner of 3001. or 500/. a year from bricks and mortar, or from clods, he is not fit for a representative. At present our whole political system, as worked and carried out by the Tories—who have substituted property, as we showed on Friday, the sign of freedom, for freedom itself—is founded on the worship of MAMMON. The great objection, repeated over and over again by the Standard, too, as well as the bulk of the Tories, to the Parlia mentary Voters Bill, was that the proposed class of voters had little or no wraith. They might be the most honest, the most religious, the most patriotic men in the world, lint they had not 10/. beneficial interest in the land, and were held to be justly disfranchised by the Journal which now denounces the worship of MAMMON. The Standard hits itself as hard as it hits the land lords ; and, while it generally advocates the ex clusive aristocratic constitution, proposes, by giv ing the labourers wealth and full liberty, the destruction of the aristocracy. It sacrifices its own consistency, hoping to gull the Chartists; but they will not be deluded by such a barefaced trick. The Corn-low was passed, and is now upheld in the true spirit of MAMMON worship, solely and exclusively by the landlords, in opposition to the people, to keep up rents. If it was sus pected to diminish rent, it would be totally abo lished as soon as the forms of Parliament would. allow a law to be passed. At the same time, the worshippers of MAMMON hypocritically pre tend that it is for the good of the poor. They dare to clothe their low-minded avarice in the garb of philanthropy, and usurp, while they practise the vices of a money-scrivener, the cha racter and attributes of a benevolent Deity. Such a jumble of hypocrisy, cant, inconsist ency, and fraud, as make up the character of Tory politicians, whether they be writers or speakers, is prodigiously disgusting. That men should be enslaved by a valiant conqueror, at the head of a powerful army, seems deplorable enough but that they should be similarly de graded by such hypocritical worshippers of MAM - mos as our Tory aristocracy, and not by any valour or wisdom on their part, but by the unin telligible balderdash of Acts of Parliament, would not be credible were the fact not so familiar as no longer to excite astonishment. However, we have the authority of the Standard and its prac tice for asserting that the system is doomed. In common with the Times, and the rest of the To ries, it courts the Chartists. We begin to think they were right, for their ends, in not agitating for a repeal of the Corn-laws, for they have, by their acquiescence, infatuated the aristocracy to keep up those execrable laws, and so have brought on a financial and 'political crisis, in which they are courted as arbiters of the fate of the Ministers and the Constitution. By the arrival of the splendid steam-ship Aca dia at Liverpool, on Sunday evening, .in twelve days from Halifax, we have received New York papers of the 16th, Boston of the 17th, and Hali fax journals of the 20th ult. inclusive. When the Acadia sailed from these ports nothing had been heard of the President. Public meetings had been held in Washington, New York, Phi ladelphia, Boston, and all the great towns through out the Union, at which resolutions deploring the loss the country had sustained by the sudden death of General HA RRISON, and expressing con fidence in the wise administration of the new President, were unanimously adopted. On the 13th ultimo President TYLER issued a proclamation ordering a solemn fast on the 14th of May to avert the Divine displea sure manifested in the sudden death of his la mented predecessor. By the evangelical portion of the community this first act of the new PRE SIDENT is lauded to the skies. But the counte nance which it receives from several of the. journals is somewhat equivocal. For example the New York Evening Post says : That there is a certain propriety in this step we cheerfully acknowledge, for if the public offices are to be filled in this manner with party rogues of the has, it class, we shall be ready as early as the 14th of May to fast in sackcloth and ashes. Mr. BIDDLE is publishing a series of long let ters in the American Papers, the purport of which is, that he is not to blame fir the pecu niary embarrassments of the United States Bank. Mr. BIDDLE is certainly not more to blame than Presidents JACKSON, VAN - BUREN, and the whole of the Sub-Treasury squad. Their system must be abandoned, or the United States will go to ruin. The New York Express of the 16th ult. has the following observiatiOnt upon this now all-important question:— That a National Bank is the only means of restoring the currency, that the Secretary of the Treasury will recommend one, that Congress will create one, and the President sign a Bill thus creating one, arc, if we learn correctly, the vte*s Of public men in high stat ions, facts establisheds ai *ell estaz awiil taughtizTei hleeg tenwi ut e s os s aor t a l t r i: t tv e ohet4 v r e e i3 tns, e:butw:errb:yirgeoyitii3zioegnict:eoexdis..: bli,hed as anything of the future can be.

The Sub-Treasury will be re• pealed early in June. The union of the Purse and Sword will be fevered. The public money will be restored to a custody approved by George Washington and James Madison. The Journal of commerce severely censures the attempts of the French Journals to fan the flames of discord between the people of England and those of the United States. The remarks of this sensible paper are quoted with approbation by the leading journals throughout the Union. There is not a syllable about Mr. McLgon or the Boundary question in these Papers. THE PENNSYLVANIA BANK BILL.—On Saturday last the Vetoed Bank-bi 1 was discussed at some length in the Penn sylvania Senate. with a view to pass it by a vote of two-thirds, that it might become a law notwithstandivg the vets. The vote, however, when taken, stood yeas 15, nays 13, and the attempt accordingly failed. THE AnCHIGAN BANK SUSPENSION BlLL.—This Bill has pa sed bAh branches of the Legislature, and wants but the signature of the Governor, which it will, no doubt, promptly and cordially receive, to become a law. The sum arid sub stance of the Bill is that it gives a naked, unqualified, indefi nite, and unconditional suspension of s i mcie payments to the Bank a Alichig''an and the Farmers' and Mechanics' Bank and th, it branches. The suspensory of any of the other banks named in the Bill, is at the discretion of the State Officers. Our banking system then, hereafter, is to be genuine wild cat. —Detroit Free Press. TIIE FIVE MILLION LOAN.—The rumour was current in the city yesterday, that the State Treasurer had received in formation that the Uni•ed States Bank would not pay the April instalment of the five million loan, which the Bank of Michi gan was allowed to anticipate by putting out her irredeemable notes.—Detroit Free Preset. Show Spoicati•--The snow storm began to fall in New York on Monday morning and continued through that day and Pvetling. The ground early on Tuesday morning was covered to the average depth of a foot. A large part of it disappeared in the course of that day. There was also a violent st, rm in Philadelphia. The correspondent at that place of the Journai of Commerce, says that more snow fell there on Monday than did in the same time, any day during the winter. Here the snow fed through the day on Tuesday, but did not accumulate to a depth of more than aix or eight inches, except where it fell its drifts. FAMILY OF GENERAL HARRISON.—A letter published by the Baltimore Patriot states that Mrs. Harrison, the General's daughter-in lax, with the rest of the Ilereaved family who were at Washington, would leave that city , on Saturday or Alonday fcr the West. accompanied by Col. Todd and Col. Chambers. They would make the journey by way of Phila• delphia and Pittsburgh, on which r ou t e th e cana l s are open. GENERAL JACKSON IN PECUNIARY DISTRESS.—The fol lowing paragraph, from a late number of the Louisville Jour nal, will be read with pain :—" A few weeks ago we saw a letter from General Jackson to a gentleman who had drawn on him for one hundred dollars. He acknowledged that the money was due, but stated that he was so miserably embarassed by his security debts as to he utterly unable to take the small sum necessary to meet the draft. He said he had some blooded stock which he was willing to give up to the drawer of the draft, but that 3100 in money was out of the question.' (Correspondence of New York Commercial Advertiser. TAMPA BAY, MARCH 27, 1841.—0 n the 201 h inst. 220 Indians sailed from this place to New Orleans, on their way to Arkansas. They were principally Tallahasses of Echo Emaliha's band. This shipment left at the post , 95 Indian;, increased now to 150 by the arrival yesterday of a party under Cosa Tustenuggee ; Coacuochee or Wild Cat is also here ; - one of the most intelligent and fine looking Indians I. ,have . : ever seen. It requires no I;ttle restraint upon one's feelings to extend -- re . friendly hand to two such consummate villains and cold blooded murderers as these last two chiefs. Their coming in is quite unexpected to us all, and Lcannot think that Wild Cat has done Fo with any intention of emigrating. The number of Seminoles at Sarrasota has been increased by recent arrivals to 90. Billy Bowlegs, the chief of this party, and the third in rank in the nation, is now here tempo rarity. He is very young, mild and amiable in appearance, and his physiognomy certainly furnishes no indicati,n of the ferocity and treachery which he manifested at the massacre of the Cailoo ohatchie. CANADA.—Lord Sydenham, Governor-General of the Bri tish North American provinces, has by proclairnation pro ro;:ued the Provincial Parliament from the Bth of April lust. to the 20th day cf May next, then to meet at Kingston, for the despatch of business. The Governor-General was se riously ill on the sth inst., but on the 7th his health was im pr.ving. NEW YORK MONEY MARKET-APRIL 16. A few days since there was a general cal for specie among the banks of this city, and a s nsequent shifting of balances. '1 he call commenced with the Bank of Commerce, and bc.fore it was finisheti the specie drafts went through all the others. Those most in debt, as a matter of course, had to pay up. This call did not arise out of any demand from abroad, ur from oilier States, fur there is no demand of this wort, but merely to settle up. There is now no arrangement of interest between the several institutions, therefore tnere is no benefit to a bank to let other banks be much in their debt. 'I he occasional set tlements that are made, are highly necessary to : keep things in a sou n d i, n d h ea l t hy con dit ion . T o pay i s as necessary as to receive, and banks as well as individuals are kept strict by short reiikonings. Exchange on London is a little higher to-day. Sales at 1071 to 1073. _ _ _ _ The manufacturers Ins Co, of Boston on Tuesday declared a dividend of 10 per cent. on their earnings for the past six months. The Beston Atlas of Tuesday says that the money market there is without any material change. The amount of busi ness paper offering out of doors is very limited, and is sought after at fr m ito 10 per cent per annum. An increased amount of Bank stock has appeared in the market within the past fortnight, which is generally the case after holders have received their semi-annual dividends—the prices of most of them have been well maintained. Rail-road stocks are firm and the demand i arely supplied. Domestic Exchanges within the past week have been rather more abundant, and the rate en Philadelphia funds has been more steady than for some time past. On many other points we have experienced an improve ment, but on Georgia it is difficult to sell, except a heavy dis collat. Foreign Exchanges continue rather dull. We are requested to state that the report that the German Bank of Wooster, Ohio, had refused its own notes, in payment of debts due to that institution, is false. l'l.e Receivers of the American Fire Insurance Company have declared a final dividend of 1 3-4 per cent. The Bank of New York four per cent. for the last six months, mable on the Ist of Alay. The State Bank of New Brunswick four per cent. At Philadelphia, yesterday, United Bank Shares were sold at 18. A moderate business only was done at the Stock Board, but generally at a reduction on the closing soles of )esterday. Unit ql States Bank fell off 1-2 ; North American Trust 3.4 ; Harlem 1-8 ; Stonington 1-4 ; Delaware and Hudson closed at 92 1-4, which is an advance of 1 1-4 on the sales of yesterday ; Mechanies - Bank rose 1-2, and Syracuse and Utica 1. STATE STOCKS.—This morning the following sales were made at the Beard—sl,ooolllinois Sixes for 1t.470, 48; $3,000 Indiana Sterling Fives at 54; $l,OOO Indiana Fives 53; and $2,000 at 52 1-2. Madrid Papers, of the 24th ult., have come to hand, but they bring no news of any political interest. The Senate had appointed a Commatee to arrange with the Committee of the Deputies the manner of discussing the Regency Question. A collision between • these two bodies was re garded as inevitable. They had held two meet ings without any result. The Fives were at 26 3-16 on the Bourse. T Paris Journals of Friday. and Saturday hay all reached us. •The heat with which the Fre :ch Government follows up prosecUtions for offe.nces almost reconciles us to the fill low_ng act of amnesty which appears in the offi cial columtis of the Illoniteur. To the principle of amnesties, on such occasions, we are strongly opposed. The course of justice ought not to be regulated by Royal whims, or the accidents of days upon which, to parody COLMAN'S expres sion, it graciously pleases Kings to vouchsafe to be born. If the sentence of a Court be just, the Monarch who disturbs it is guilty of injustice; it unjust, every day of the Sovereign's reign is pro per for setting it aside The King, on the occasion of his fete day and the christen ing of the Comte de upon the Report of the Minister of Justice, has extended his clemency to 187 individuals con demned by the ordinary trit4unals. They have obtained as follows : --1.56, remission of the remainder of their punish ment; 28, commutations or reductions ; and three, remission of the accessory punishment of the pillory. Con ormably to the wishes of his Majesty, the pardons which the King has deigned to grant will everywhere receive their execution dating from the Ist of May. The defeat of the Whigs upon Lord HowicK's amendment upon the Irish Registration Bill affords great delight to the Journal des Debats. This Journal will change its tune on receiving the,London Papers of Saturday. The Whigs have retired from the contest stronger than ever, for now they have the country with them. The promised modification of the Corn-laws and the reduction of the tax on sugar, have given a giant's strength to the Ministry. M. SARRANS, the author of a Life of Lafayette, has made the discovery that one of the letters for ,which La France was prosecuted, was pirated from a work of his published in 1834. As it then appeared in a different form, this stamps part of the correspondence with the brand of forgery. Ca ea ERA. Several papera,",ays Saturilay'sMoniteur," have announced the re-appearance (If Cabrera in Catalmia, at the head of some of his pat tisans. This news is false in every point. Cabrera has not quitted Hyeres. A report has also been spread in Spain that General Brujo, who was a rufugee in France, hau disappeard, and taken the direction of Catalonia. We can affirm that this Genera has not left his place of re • aidence."

On the 27th of April a covered waggon passed through Rennes, loaded with four millions in gold, being a consignment from Hayti for the indemnity to the former planters. It is said that in this sum, which is almost exclusively composed of fo, reign coin, there is a pretty considerable number of French gold pieces of the reign of Louis XIII. and Louis XIV. The waggon is escotted by a detachment which has accompanied it froisi Brest, and which is re-inforced by other detachments in each garrison which are necessarily changed. — Le Commerce.

" gt.i.rg ru bate MONEY and COiYIYIERCIAL NEWS, CITY, MONDAY EVENING. The mercantile markets are very dull in the City. Throughout the day the Stock Market was in a very weak condition, and no improvement occurred up to the termination of business. The immediate cause of this alteration appears to be, first, that money has all at once become in increased de mand, under the idea of a dissolution of Parliament being probab'e, when, o f course , l arge sa l es o f s t o ck must be eff e cted, in of der to carry on electioneering contests, which, from the state of parties, there is every reason to believe would be more severe than for some time past. Whether, as is partly hinted in some quarters, Government, instil it obtains some relief to its Exchequer by the es , ablishment of new duties, is indebted to the Bank of England for temporary .aid, it is not easy to as certain; but no doubt (and unquestionaPy it is proper) the Directors in their corporate capacitywill facilitate the efforts a the Ministry in restoring the finances of the country to a more satisfactory condition. , Consols for Money opened at 89/ to 90, but left off at 893 to 89/. For Account the highest price was 90. the lowest 89/, and the latest 69A sellers. Exchequer Bills fell to 13s. and les. premium ; India Bonds remained at 2s. to 4s. premium ; Bank Stock was 167 to 166, being a further decline of I tot per cent. • and India Stock 252 A to 251, or IA to 3 per c e nt. d ec li ne .

In Foreign Stocks and in Railway Shares there was very little business done, and the sales effected were at reduced rates.

Sir—The Council of the National Anti-Corn-lacy League seize the earliest moment for caging your attention to the announcement made by, Lord John Russell yesterday, of his intention to move for a Committee of the House, on the 31st instant, to consider the Corn-law. As the decision of the House upon the measure will depend mainly upon the force of public opinion which may be brought to bear upon the Representatives of the people, the Council most earnestly entreat you to lose no time in procuring peti tions, holding meetings, and making every possible demon - .stt atiun in favour of the immediate abolition of the Corn and Provision laws. It will be seen that Lord John Russell's notice of motion refers to the Corn-14m exclusively, and th e C ounc il recom mend that the question be kept distinct from th a t o f th e Im port Duties. I have the honour to remain, Sir, Your most obedient servant, By order of the Council, Manchester, May 1, 184 1 . GEO. WILSON, Chairman. TIIE WEATHER.—The Spring is now over— to-day we commence with summer, and if the season before us prove as favourable as the one we have left behind, we shall have a right beautiful season. Vegetation is in an unusually ad varictd state, and it, could not fail to be so, for the spring which is just over, has not been excelled by any within the memory of man. The seeds have been committed to the ground in the most. favourable circumstances, and the braird of vs heat and coin is I.;ohing ver y healthy. The grass fields, al,o, are in an advanced state; the blossomis on the fruit trees, and if no ungental bia, , tts occur soon we may ant i c i pate a plentiful harvest, both in the field and in the, orchard. The past week has been the warmest of the season, anti there is no appearance of a change of weather.—Leeds Times. A SINGULAR CAS E.— The Pittsburgh Ame rican states that a man in Le w i sto n was supposed to have died from over eating and drinking , and from some awkwardness in putting him in the coffin, which had be en procure d , he was sutrered to fall on . the floor, The shock had the effect to lie has refus' , d to'pay th e f un e ra l expenses, knock life into him fut . he immediately rose , o, inqui re w h a t they wure about . . • and the coffin maker and others have brought suits against him for their bills. AY 4. 18;1. HAMBURGH. MAIL. STOCKHOLM, Aram 20.—The prorsal for a change in the representative system has come to the last stage of discussion. The Chambers of the Clergy and the Citizens have rejected the proposal of the Committee ; the Chamber of Pea , ants has Agreed to it; the Nobles have not yet concluded their debate on it. STOCKHOLM, Arai r, 23.—Afteran animated debate of three days the Chamber of No!des rejected the evening before yester day the proposal of the Committee, for a change in the repre sentation, by a majority of 1.55 to 62; a long list of Alembers have indeed reserved their votes, but the fate of the projected measure is thereby deferred for full ten years, unless an Extra .9rdinary Diet should be convoked ; for even if the proposal should be brought forward again in the next Diet, the final de cision could not take place even in the most favourable case, till the following Diet. Some of the Opposition papers speak in a rather revolutionary turn of tlis event. BERLIN, Aram 24.—1 t is now decided thai the walls of Potsdam shall be demolished by the King's order, which will 01)9 to the town the fine gardens and grounds in the environs. It is probable that the walls of Berlin vi ill soon share the same f de, lo be changed into Bou!evards ; while Paris surrounds its old Boulevards with new bulwarks and bretiles. This is in deed the putrid spot of France, which, however, only isolates itself still more by this immense barricade, and thus offer an armed and fortified camp to the scum of all Europe to the ultras of every denomination. However we may be content with Paris as a frontier fortress; if it comes to the worst, these Babjlonians will no more meet than those of Jei icho.

This favourite place of public amusement opened yes terday for the season, and, if we may judge from the pre parations male to gratify the public, with every prospect of success to the spirited pr.)pri !tor. In the course of theb winter and spring weat changes have taken place, the walks have been improver', several of the hluses for the wild animals have been enlarged and beautified, and con siderablo additions have been made to the collection which has l ing been justly admired. The great object of atti action this year in addition to the menagerie, is a Cc lossal Model of St. Pt ter's, with a portion cf the city of Rome, cunstructe f in the same manner as that of Mount Hick, which at•racted so much attention last season. It is certainly a w3nde:ful representation of the finest tem ple in the world, as large apparenly as the actual build ing, with an exact representation in the foreground of the ancient Roman Brioge ever the Tibcr, the Mauso leum of Aldan, now called the Castle of St. Angelo, and the principal edifices in that quarter. The view of the Vatican is also strikingly correct, and any person who has had the gratification of seeing these splendid monuments of papal grandeur cannot fag to recognise every part of them with the utmost ca e. The small lake in the Gardens represents the Tiger. The bridge of St Angelo crosses it from the Foi tress towards the Theatre and the mansion of the great Roman banker, the Duke of Torlonia. The panorama occupies a. spec of five acres, it is constructed in ovary part from the most ac curate models. and cannot fail to be an object of general attrac:ior. The deception is in every respect complete, and the representation altogether gives the most correct idea of these venerable and splendid edifices. The work has hem produced entirely hum the . designs and under the superintendence of Mr. Damson, the artist, who c mistructcd, on the same plan, Hecla and Vesuvius. He hr. been as sisted by Messrs. C. Adam, Tait, and Marshdl, and the works have been f ,rmed under the direcii )n of Mr. J. Briudley, the mechanist of the establishment. What with the beautiful verdure of the Gardens, the flowering shrubs in full blossom, and the varied collection of wild beasts arid fowls of almost every description, perhaps there is no place of public amusement in London where so much ratline! enjoyment can be bad for so small a charge for admission. Dr. Short, the Rector of Bloomsbury, has been generally mentioned as likely to obtain the see d Sodor and Man, from which Dr. Peoys is to be transl.ted to that of Wtreester. We are, liowcve-, assured that nettling Eat bat been arranged with rderence to the te^ thus vacated. . . -NY STATE OF MRS.

PENALTY.—On Thursday, at the Old Session room, William Green, beerseller, of Heaton, was charged by the county police with having company in his house on Sun day last, during the hours of Divine service. He pleaded guilty, and, in extenuation, said a party from this town had taken re fuge in his house from the lain ; and that he had a "great wite and a small family."—(Laughter.) Fined 20s. and costs. —Bolton Free Press. _ _ . FRIGHTFUL SUICIDE.—Ayoung man of fash ionable appearance appliedabout four o'clock on Saturday after noon to the keeper of the column in the Place Vendome for permission to go up, but was informed that being alone it was not allowable. He was turning away, when a party of visiters came with the same intention, and, as this removed the ob jection, he ascended with them. While the rest were engaged in admiring the view from the gallery he seized an opportunity, got on the rails, and in a moment threw himself licadloog to 'the ground. When taken up, and carried to the quarters of the Etat-Major on the place, he was perfectly lifeless, having fractured several of his limbs, and received other mortal in juries He had neither papers, cards, nor any other thing about him by which he could be identified. Since wilting u hat appears elsewhere on the subject of Lord Cardigan, we have heard, and we are in clined to consider the report as authentic, that the Secretary at War has so far overeume the scruples of the authorities at the Horse Guards, in regard to his Lord,hip, that they have reluctantly decided that be must take the earliest convenient opportunity of "selling out." Mr. Macaulay is said to have convinced Lord Hill, that any further protection of his Lord ship by the m:litary administration of the country, cannot fail of being productive of the worst consequences to the dis cipline and well-being of the Army ; and that unless his Lordship, at length, consents to the step, which circumstances have so long rendered necessary, a change in the manage ment of the affairs of the Army will inevitably be called for, in a tone so imperative as to make a further resistance to pub lic opinion dangeroui, if not iimpos ible. The Noble Earl has conseqtiently received notice to quit ; but is to be allowed the grace of having himself originated his retirement. The Sunday flogging affair has proved the last drop to the cup full of official endurance.— United Service Gazette. WEALTHY VAGRANT.—On Monday night an old Highlander arrived in Cupar from Dundee, on his route to Edinburgh. After obtaining liberty to get lodgings, and having received charity to pay the same, no person would take poor Donald in. He then applied to the police, who ac commodated him with a bed. Upon being searched, as is cue toma,ry, Donald declared that he had" no more but one penny, my dear." However, Donald's word was not taken, and after being divested of his upper garments, meal bags, &c., he was found to be worth more than he intended should be known. In the inside of the•cuff of one of the sleeves of his old coat, was found three pound notes, neatly stitched there, and in the other two in the same manner—in a small purse attached to his garter 19s. 6d. in silver—and in a concealed pocket in his trousers, Is. 2., which, with the penny, amounted altogether to 6t. Os. 9%d. When the discovery was made poor Donald's " Oigh ! Oigh !" was truly pitiable—his whole covering was not worth the Sid. Next morning Donald was elevated on the top of the coach for Edinburgh at his own expense.—Edin burgh Paper. VIOLENT STORM.—On Sunday afternoon the metropolis was visited by two severe storms. Both were, how ever, of short duration, neither having lasted more than a quarter of an hour or twenty minutes. The first, which was chiefly confined to heavy rain, with squalls from the south west, and a distant peal of thunder, t oo k pl ace a t f or ty-fi ve minutes past two o'clock, p.m., and the second, which was more violent than the first, occurred at a quarter past four o'clock. During the short continuance of the second, the rain, mingled with large halstones, fell in torrents, accompa ni d by violent gusts of wind. DINNER TO E.

LA WS, AND A REVISION OF THE IMPORT DUTIES. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) A public meeting was held in the populous and manufacrur ing village of Waterhead-mill, near Oldham, last Wednesday evening, called by a requisition of the principal inhabitants, Tories, Whigs, Itadica's, and Chartists, for the above purpose. Mr. John Lees, cotton-manufacturer, in the Chair. The meeting was numerously attended. It had been pre viously understood that a party of the Chartist agitators from Manchester would attend to upset the meeting. Several of the Chartist leaders of Oldhlm and neighbourhopd were there to support the views of the rsqui.itionists. As a first move ment of the obstructives or anarchists, they proposed a noisy fellow to the Chair; however, the motion was lost. The friends of the meeting, many of whom are Chartists, but will ing and anxious to better the condition of their fellow-men, spoke admirably, exposing the pernicious effects ,of the Corn law s on the labouring population, the total ruin of the manu facturers, and the barefaced wickedness of the system, truly depicting the distress they were occasioning, and the certainty of their producing a terrible convulsion in the country if not altered. The small clique from Manchester, and one or two other renegades, uttered a mass of the greatest absurdities. They fell on the master manufacturers with every reproachful and abusive epithet, and endeavoured to excite in the minds of the working classes the most bitter animosity against em ployers, against Government, and against property people. In deeed there was no bounds to the violence of their language. They worked, what would otherwise have been an orderly meeting, into one of turmoil and uproar ' • however, on the mu • tion being put, the Chairman declared the petition for the repeal and revision to be carried, on which an indescribable confusion ensued, and the chairman vacated the chair. It is but justiee to say that most of the leading, virtuous, and intelligent Chartists in the neighbourhood, by the can dour and reasoning powers they displayed on this occasion, won the esteem of even those who differed from them in politics. The rabble of prowling paid orato•s, who live out of th^ misery of our country, were mostly supported by more un • thinking lads from twelve to eighteen years of age, and those not many. Let the Tories beware how they use such instru ments; their principles go to sap the foundations of civil so ciety, and prepare men for desperate deeds. DARING BURGLARY. A daring outrage, and similar to that recently committed at Boxhill, which excited so much alarm throughout the whole county of Sussex, was perpetrated on Monday last at the resi dence of a farmer named Bayman, residing near Tring, on the borders of Herts, in the county of Bucks. Mr. Bayman and his family retired to rest at their usual hour, and about one o'clock on the Tuesday morning, they were alarmed by a noise as of some person being in the house, and immediately after wards, three men with their faces blackened rushed into Mr. Batman's bed-room. He jumped out of bed, when the first man, who had a lighted candle in one hand, aed a pistol in the other, presented the pistol at him, and threatened to blow his brains out if he did not be quiet and give up his money, and they then forced him on the tied, and with the most dreadful oaths, declared they would murder him if he did not give them money. Mr. Bayman, finding resistance to- be hopeless, gave the villains ten sovereigns and some silver, and one of them stood guard over him while the two others proceeded to the bed-room of Miss Bayman, the daughter of Mr. Keyman, of whom they demanded money, and upon her telling them she had not got any, they used most horrible imprecations, and broke open every box and drawer in the room, in the expectation of find ing some money. The ruffians then proceeded to the lower part of the premises, and for nearly two hours they were em ployed in ransacking the house, and when they had packed up a quantity of valuable pt operty, consisting of wearing apparel, silver spoons, watches, &e., they again went to the bedroom of Mr. Bayman, and one of the men produced his gun, which he had brought from the lower part of the house, and loaded it in his presence, and told him that they would fire it off as a signal when they had left the prem i ses. And they told him that if he went down stairs, or gave any alarm before the morning they would return and murder him. The villains then decamped ; but .Mr. Bayman and the family were so alarmed at their threats that they did not go down stairs until daylight, when they found every drawer and cupboard had been forced open, and a quantity of valuable property abstracted. Mr. Bayman then gave information of what had occurred, and Ashby, the constable, of Tring, im mediately made inquiries in the neighbourhood, and having ascertained that three men, each tarrying a large bundle, hid been seen going in a direction from the neighbourhood where the robbery had been committed to Chesham, he obtained the assistance of anther constable, and proceeded in pursuit, and upon going into a public-house near Aston Clinton, they found three men answering the description of the thieves, and they took them into custody,and found nearly seven pounds in gold and silver, and several articles of the stolen property in their possession. The next day they were taken before Sir John King, a Magistrate for the county of Bucks, when they gave their names David and George Allice, and John Reeve, but the latter is well known by the soubriquet of " Gipsy Jack." the above facts were then given in evidence, and Jr. Bayman also stated, that although the men's faces were black ened and otherwise disguised, he had a good opportunity of observing their features, and he-swore positively they were the parties who had acted as he described, and he likewise identi fied the articles found in their possession as being part of the ste.len property. After a long investigation, the prisoners, who merely denied the charge, were fully committed to take their trial. * ERICSSON'S PROPELLER.—Steamer Clarion is off.

INQUEST.—An inquest was held by Mr. W. Carter, the Coroner for the Eastern Division of Surrey, at the Kingston Union House, on Friday evening, on the body of a man named Thomas who II as poisoned under the fol lowing circumstances :—ltsappearcd from the evidence of se veral witnesses that the deceased was a labouring man, and re sided at East Moulsey, but having been out of work for some time he was reduced to great distress, and one evening last week he applied to 'he landlady of the Castle public-house at Aloulsey to give him a night's lodging, but from his dirty ap pearance she declined to do so. He then asked for a small quantity of gin, which was given to him, and he went to the back of the house for the purpose of getting some water to mix with it, and a:he passed through the kitchen he observed some pieces of bread and butter on a plate, and it is supposed that the poorman, being hu ngr y, t oo k u p th e b rea d an dbutter and a t e it. 7 1'his bread and butter it appears was covered with arsenic. for the purpose of destroying rats, and the moment it was missed inquiry was made, and it was then ascertained that. the deceased had eaten it. Information was immediately given to the parish authorities of what had occurred, and the poor man. who by this time was in a most dreadful state, was removed to the workhouse, where every assistance was rendered him by the medical gentleman of the union bui without avail, and the poor creature expired very soon after his admission to the workhouse. The Jury, after hearing all the evidence, returned a verdict that the deceased died through eating bread and butter that had been covered with arsenic, for the purpose of killing rats, and at the same time expressed in very strong terms their sense of the impropriety of allowing such a thing to be left about in so careless a manner. _ -- -- - -- - Betvrcen the hours of six and seven, on the afternoon of Wednesday last, Carnarvon was visited by a severe storm of thunder and lightning, accompanied by a heavy shower of rain. After seven the thunder subsided, hut the sky still continued to gleam with remote and vivid lightning, and the rain fell in torrents until towards eight o'cicck, when it cleared up, and the atmosphere became deliciously fresh and cool—the morning having been somewhat sultry, although there bad been a copious fall of rain during the three cr four preceding days. During the entire evening there were indications cf distant storms in everal points of the compass—the sky sending forth ie most intense flashes in very opposite directions, unaccom panied by any report whatever.

Yesterday the annieers;ryMseting ef the London Li-; terary Association of the Fr l'-`ttdi of Poisnd was held • at their Chambers, in Duke-sue e, St. damesies Tar; chair was taken at Iwo o'clock by . . Lord DUDLEY COUTTS STUART, who said, that in COIR• sequence of the absence of the Honorary Secretary, Mee M‘Donnell, who was detained in Ireland by illness. bee -supenased it was his first duty to read the Report of the proceedings of the Council for the last year. This was the ninth annual meeting of the Socisty, and eltbongh last year was not marked with much importance, yet it bad af ferded as much demand as any preceding war fair the ex ertions of the Council. The sum voteu by the liesuse of Commons last Bear for the relief of the exiles, theti 13,0001., was accompanied by the same restrictions as the , former grant ; and, therefore, ninny elaimeute were still left upon this institution. There was a fete at Beulah Spa which, notwithstanding every exertion of the 'Society and its friends, produced only 2941., in consoprence of the badness of the weather. Application was ;hen made to Vie Chancellor of the Exchequer to induce hisu to allow fifty of those who were excluded from the Government fund to be placed upon it, in the room of ORR hun dred and sixty who bad dropped off. Thu appli cation was without effect, and, on the 4th of August, Lord Sandon in a luminous and able speech, stests•dllso ease of those unfortunate men, but as it was a reeds ation of the House of Commons, that no money grant shi nuldt be voted except upon the proposition of a Minister o f- the' Crown, Lord Ssndon's motion fell to the ground,';ll - it nag opposed by no one but the Chanceiles f the Exchequer and Mr. Mettle, the Secretary to the Treasut, . Dep:sived of hope in this quarter the Ceunell engaged the Villa of Cremorne, Chelsea, for a fete, whito took place on the 19th of August. Some of tl4 moms eminent vocal performers volunteered their services for the: occasion, and Mr. Green, the aeronaut, offered to ascend/ in his balloon without any remuneration. The day fixed for the tete (the 10th) was marked by a violent storm,. which was felt in many parts of Europe, and on that daps the King of the Fiench had a narrow escape from ship.- .wreck in mitering the port of Calais. What could be ex pected at Cremorne House on such a day ? The expenses , amounted to 1894, the receipts were but 471, leaving a loss of 142/. That deficiency, however, was made good by the subscriptions of the Council. . Amongst themselves, Mr. Beaumont, the Presiden', with his usual liberality contributing 50/. (Loud cheers.) The Report then warmly eulogised the intrepid conduct of Mr. Green on the occasion, who, notwithstanding the ma nifest hazard of the adventure, ascended in spite of the storm, and had a narrow escape with his life iii the descent at Rainharn, in Essex, but he suffered severe injuries and two of his ribs were broken. His companion, Mr. 11PDon nell, the Hole Secretary, escaped without injury. An appeal was then made to the public for donations, and the total amount received above the expense of printing . And advertisements was 260/. Amongst the contributors rase Prince Albert, the Duke of Sussex, the Duchess of Insee ness, the Duchess of Kent, the Archbishop of Canterbury. the Bishop of London, &c. Mr. Pigou, whose munifi cence has been so often recorded in the Reports, contri buted 100/.—(Applause.) The Report then proceeded to state the result of the appiicatioa to the Corporation of London for the use of the Guildhall for a ball, which pro duced 6281. above the expenses. The Council returned thanks in the srermest manner to the Common Council, and especially the Committee who conducted the enter tainment. In the course of the Report the Council referred to the attacks which had been made upon the Association in the nmates of seventy-two refugees, chiefly illiterate soldiers, who were the dupes of persons of superior rank, but most probably esents of Russia.. The Council dwelt with Brest satisfaction PPon the elec tion of one of the Vii e-Presidents, the Marquis of Brerti‘eh bane, as Lord Rector of the University of Glao . gow. flea W 45 the third member of this Council who had itttailledl that honour. The Report concluded by expressing on un diminished zeal in the cause of Poland, and an unabated confidence in the ultimate restoration of that noble people to liberty and independence. The Hon. Colonel STANHOPE moved that the Report be received and printed, Mr. Wieenseneu, M.P., seconded the motion, which was Carried unanimously. Mr. CORBALLY then moved a resolution to the effect--- "Thit the warm thanks of this Asrociation.are due to his Royal Highness Prince Albert, her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, his Royal Highness the Duke of Se esex„ and the Nobility and Gentry, for their kind patronage of Oes exertions made for the benefit of the refugees during Olt past year." It was unnecessary for him to dwell in Oaf: assembly upon the merits of those illustrious members of the Royal Family, but having been some years in Poland, he was able to say that the Poles were a noble and gene rous nation, and in their misfortunes were well worthy of such Royal patronage.—( Applause. ) Lord C. FITZROY, in seconding the motion, congratu lated the Association on the patronage of these illustrious persons, and also en the latter part of the Report, in which it was shown that the Council had so successfully over come all their diffieulies. The Council merited the toanks of all friends of the cause, by the promptitude and success With which they had repelled the attacks made upon the Pules and their friends. A letter which ap peared in the Morning Paptea on the 20th of March last, redounded to the credit of the Noble Lord in the chair. It was dated from Melton Mowbray, and was an able refuta tion of the article which was published in the preceding Querterly Review Toe resoluton was carried unanimously, and amidst ap ' plause. Mr. HUNTER GORDON Said that when they were essem bled last pas on teis anniversary, the aspect of human af fairs seemed to promise that union of the constitutional powers of Europe, to which alone one must look ,for, the restoration of Poland. That prospect had since been over cast. But tie trusted that the renewed fricndstaip of Eug land and France would remove the cloud which had been drawn over that prospeet.—( Hear, hear.) For as it was hy the combination of 11e military Governments the partition of Poland had been effected, it was from the combination of the constitutional pewees they must expect her re-union. —(Hoer, hear.) He concluded by moving thanks to Lord Sandun for his motion in the House of Commons lastyear. Mr. CORTAZZI seconded the motion, which was carried with applause. Resolutions of Thanks to Sir Stratford Canning for Isis motion on the subject of Cracow, and to the Members of the Common Council and Corporation of the City of La. 2. don, for their assistance in promoting the success of thee ball at Guildhall, were also passed with much applause.. T. W. Beaumont, Esq., was rseelceted President., The Marquis of Breadalbahe, Lord Panrnure, Lord D. C.. Stuart, and the Earl of Scarborough, were elected Vice- Presidents. • Lord D. C. STUART, in returning thanks for himself and his colleagues, expressed his satisfactiou at seeing sc , many friends of Poland assembled in that rsom on that. occasion. It might have been supposed that there was now• less occasion fur exertion, and that time had relaxed the, oppression of the Emperor of Russia; but his tyrannical. system every year produced fresh miser; for the Poles- One would suppose that in ten years, which bad elapsed since the last 'evolution, the Emperor's wrath might have been assuaged. Last year he transplanted the peaunts from the estates of Prince Czartoryski and others in Podolia into the laic - ajar of Russia, and supplied their places with Russians.--(Great indignation.) What would any one in that assembly feel, if in his country his fellow_ countrymen and neighbours were dragged away a foreign country, and their places tilled with foreigners?— ( ar, hear.) Another case of inconceivable melt% • bad. recently been perpetrated. It was that of a Polish l PLIY, the wife of Count Grocholwski, a refugee who had In and. shelter in. Switzerland, leaving his wife and daughter be hind him, tLc former being pie„anant et the time.. T his lady obtained leave to visit ber husband, taking with h er their son, born atter his father'; exiie. When she wsts obliged to return to Poland, the child persuaded her tor leave him with his father. On her direttal at Warsaw, Prince Paskewiteh sent for, and told her that in leaving the boy she bad committed a heinous crime. Her property was confiscated, and she was banished forthwith' to Siberia.--(Great indignation.) Net- was that all.. As a ferther punishment her innocent daughter was can demeed to be sent to a military celuny—(Cries of •' Shame,. 'shame")—that is, she was condemned to be martial to a. common soldier, whom she had never seen.—(shame,, shame.) The nobles of Podolia, compassioraemg the fate of this innocent young lady, subser hied a inu s b u l m g m ....4 o a t s i m e o t ect ir . to 5,000/. for the purpose of saving Let from being mar ried to a common Russian soldier, and to place her in circumstances to be married to art officer.
