EVENING EDITION ST. MARYLEBONE, MARCH 29, 1841 . At a PUBLIC MEETING of the Ratepayers of this Parish, convened by the Vestry on requisition, and held in the Workhouse-yard on this day, for the two follow i,g purposes, viz.-1. To take into consideration a bill headed " 6t. Marylebone Paving," introduced by Lord Teigumouth, M. P., and promoted by the " Parochial Society " of Wigmore street, by which some of the most important principles of the Ist and 2d William IV., c. 60, commonly called " Sir John Hobhouse's Vestries Act," are sought to be destroyed; and, 2. To take into consideration the subject of the Poor-law Con tinuance Bill. Present—The Right Hon. Lord NUGENT in the Chair. A communication from the "Parochial Society," dated this day, was read by the Vestry Clerk, announcing the inex pediency of proceeding further with the parish Bill until next Session. Resolved unanimously, That this Meeting have witnessed with surprise and indignation the attempt made by a body of persons, calling themselves the " Parochial Society," to intro duce a Bill into the House of Commons to make important alteration in the Acts that ,govern the parish without any authority from the parishioners so to do ; and this Meeting hereby authorise and require that, in the event of any similar attempt being made by any set of persons, the repre sentative Vestry do immediately convene a public meeting of the parishioners to consider the same. Resolved unanimously, That the thanks of this Meeting are due and are hereby given to Sir Benjamin Hall, Bart., Member for the borough, for his active and persevering endeavours to overthrow the late attempt to destroy the existing rights of local government; and this Meeting further earnestly call upon the Hon. Member to continue the same watchful care in respect to any future measure by which the vested interests of the parishioners may be directly or in directly compromised. Resolved unanimously, That the foregoing resolutions be ad vertised in the morning papers. NUGENT Chairman. Lord Nugent having quitted the chair, John Gomm, Esq., was appointed thereto; and thanks having been unanimously voted to Lord Nugent for his impartial conduct as Citairman,— It was moved and seconded, •° That petitions be presented to both Houses of Parliament against the Bill for the continu ance of the Poor-law Aniendmcnt Act, and that such peti tions be signed by the Chairman, and be counter-signed by the Vestry Clerk, on behalf of this Meeting." An amendment was then moved and seconded as follows : " That the petition this day read be presented to the House of Lords only; and that a petition be also presented to her Majesty the Queen, beseeching her to withhold her Royal assent to the Bill now pending in Parliament for a continuance of the Poor-law Amendment Act, and praying that her Majesty will dismiss from her councils all persons who shall advise her Majesty to pass that cruel and unconstitutional measure." The amendment was cam•ied in the affirmative unanimously. Resolved unanimously, That the petition to her Majesty and also the petition to the House of Lords be signed by the Chair man on behalf of the Meeting, and countersigned by the Vestry Clerk, who shall cause the former to be presented to her Majesty in the usual course. Resolved unanimously, that the proceedings of this day re garding the Poor-law Continuance Bill, be advertised in the morning papers. Thanks were unanimously voted to the - Chairman, and the meeting separated. JOHN GOlOl, Chairman. Mr. PLUMER WARD'S NEW WORK. Now ready at all the Libraries, CLIFFoRD; or, THE CONSTANT MAN.

We announced in our Second Edition last even mg the arrival of the Britannia steamer with New York papers to the 15th, and Bosto . n papers to the 16th instant, and gave full particulars from the different journals of the state of affairs in the United States up to these dates. No further proceedings have taken place with respect to Mr. 3FLEon either i n the Courts of Law or Con gress; but we are happy to find that,. in the files of four different Pape rs Iv inch we have received, the language . of peace and mode ration prevails. Not a trace of the in solent tone which pervaded Mr. p ICKENS' Re port is to be found in any of these Journals. On the contrary, the strongest hopes are expressed that Mr. IVFLEoD will speedily be set at liberty, and that the question at issue between the two Governments will be brought to an amicable ad.. justment. The fitct is, all the respectable people of the United States are no less ashamed of Mr. PICKENS and his Committee, than of the mob of Lockport, and are justly anxious to separate them selves front madmen who would embroil two coun tries so intimately united, merely to gratify a spirit of wicked revenge or disappointed ambition. The commercial and financial affairs of the States are. still in a deplorable condition, caused partly by the failure of the banks, but still more by the Uncertain relations wit l .l this country; and these circumstances, perhaps, will contribute not a little to the speedy and amicable adjustment of the differences. Never was there a fitter occasion for our Government to enforce their just de mmll4 to settle not only the boundary line, but to come to some distinct understanding as to the collisions which may hereafter occur on the Cana dian frontier. Unless this is done, we may have a second edition of Mr. PICKENS' Report when the people of the United States are in a better condition to carry the principles which it em bodies into effect. We confidently trust, there fore, that the opportunity will not be lost, and that measures will be mutually adopted which will contribute to a good understanding between two nations so, much int:l23l.cd in the preserva tion of peace. The Canterbury Election Committee hay ing speedily come to the end of its labours, last night reported t ) the House of Commons that Mr. SMYTHE was duly elected for Canterbury. A similar report was not made from the St. Al ban's Committee, but it has come to a similar conclusion, and Lord LISTOWELL preserves his seat, in spite of the blustering of the Tories. Mr. LABOUCHERE announced that he should make a further alteration on the Colonial Tariff, and reduce the proposed ad valorem duty of 10 to 7 per cent. He is also to lower the duty on shingles and pine. _ _ __ _ _ Mr. DIVETT moved the third reading of the Jews' Declaration Bill, which . was opposed by Mr. GLAnsToNE in a speech more remarkable for a declaration that this was not a Protestant coun try than any thing else. Mr. MACAULAY supported the third reading in a short and pithy speech, in which he said, having lately seen how little Articles could bend the consciences of casuists, he should be sorry for the House of Commons to frame any more such cobwebs. He spoke, too, of a better gloss being found for the Jews now taking the re quired declaration, were they not honest, than had lately been put forth for holding the faith of Rome with the endowments of the English Church. The Puseyites will not misunderstand this. After a few words from Mr. GOULSURN and Sir It.. INGLIS, against the Bill, while Lord SAN DON and Mr. MILNES, deserting their friends, spoke in its favour, the third reading was car ried by 108 . to 31. Some Bills were moved a stage, and the House adjourned at Half-past Seven. A meeting of the Anti-Corn-law Association of the metropolis was yesterday held at the Crown and Anchor. It was called by advertisement, which stated that no person would be admitted unless he provided himself with a ticket. This mode of limiting the attendance accounts, we presume, for the comparatively small number of persons whom this important business brought together. The meeting was held in the small room of the Crown and Anchor, and that was never anything like full. The principal speakers were Mr. VILLIERS, Dr. PYE SMITH, Mr. L. RICARDO, Mr. ROBERT STEUART, Mr. EWART, &c. In such a select audience the interruption was not great, yet there was-some, showing, un doubtedly, that there are yet many bona fide differences of opinion on this great question. One gentleman thought that we should turn our attention to growing more corn at home, and an other that the "Debt-laws" should be abolished, but none stood up to defend the Corn-laws. Even those who are averse from first demanding the re peal of them seek to remove something which theysuppose to be a greater injustice. In fact, so ciety has reached this singular position, that the masses are completely discontented with our in stitutions, which seem only to be preserved by the disputes amongst the suffering people as to which shall be first amended or destroyed. Mr. VILLIERS delivered an admirable address. For the clear manner in which he demonstrated that free trade would increase employment—that the abolition of the Corn-laws would raise wages —that the middle classes, had they all the power now attributed to them by the Chartists, would command the repeal of the Corn-laws without any asssistance, as they are said to elect the House of Commons, Mr. VILLIERS' speech left nothing to be desired. Were men of talent to direct their efforts, as he does, to root out the prejudices of the multitude on this and all other questions, we should soon be an enlightened and free nation. The people do not want a new education to understand homely, and well put ar guments;. and gentlemen like Mr. VILLIERS, when they address their language to the present understanding of the people, want neither audi tors applause nor converts. We were glad to see Dr. PYE SMITH take a conspicuous part at the meeting, and to hear him exhort all the ministers of the Gospel to unite with the Corn-law R.epealers. He placed the question on the high grounds of morality and re ligion. He quoted several passages from the Bible to prove that GOD had especially denounced those who oppress the poor, and he insisted that it was the duty of all Christians to aid in abolishing the law. For a full account of the proceedings we refer to our report. In the main, they wanted nothing to make them perfectly satisfactory but the en thusiasm and the dignity of a more numerous auditory. We cannot say, however, that we approve of the Anti-Corn-law Association imitating the Anti-Maynooth men and the Exeter Hall sect, and so countenancing by a ticket meeting the notion that their cause is not good, or that the peo ple are not to be trusted. It is true that the restric tion of not admitting except by ticket was not rigidly adhered to, but the notice kept away the public, and bars and policemen kept out the Chartists. With such a good cause to back them, the Anti-Corn-law party should dare and conquer the turbulent. The middle classes, had they the repeal of the Corn-law at heart, could sacrifice their time, which the lower classes could not; and if they were not successful at one place or one hour, they might be at another. It is credit able neither to their patriotism nor their per severance to allow themselves to be defeated in such a cause by a handful of noisy, mischievous people. If they say public opinion is of no value, why hold public meetings ? But they appeal to po pular support, and yet they shut out the people. Such conduct is consistent in the owls of bigotry who hate the popular light, but for Anti-Corn law men, demanding justice for all classes, it is a suicidal maiming of their own limbs. Far from excluding, they ought to invite the Chartists to attend their meetings, and encounter them hand to hand, and face to face. By excluding them, they exhibit and inspire only terrible mistrust. Some of the working classes have been led astray, and have committed errors; but an ho nest and open appeal to them would, we believe, be successful, and make them support the Corn law repealers. The working classes are, gene rally speaking, an orderly set of men ; and if they were convinced that the holding of such meetings were beneficial to them, they would preserve order, and put down the rioters. If an open appeal should fail, the fair deduc tion is that the majority are not with us. We repudiate such an idea ; but our friends counte nance it, and degrade our noble cause to a level with the narrow-minded bigotry of Exeter Hall by holding ticket meetings. We are afraid that such -,)roceedings may betray popular rights. They stigmatize public meetings. The Duke of WELLINGTON only said they were farces ; the Anti-Corn-law Society act as if they were not to be trusted. The Anti-Maynooth meetings are worthless because they merely represent a clique, and by following their bad example the meeting of yesterday acquired a similar character. The clue to the whole is that the middle classes in the metropolis care very little about the repeal of the Corn-law. They have no compre hension of its importance, and are indifferent to • its success. If they were ' even warmly inte rested in it, not to say enthusiastic, they would find means to organize Th and give expression to public O pi n i on. parish, and even would send forth • • petttions, time of the Reform agitation, in public they would come tavern They would Their clubs . ing force of numbers and talents, and hold local, as they did in the .with When they met overwhelm yb,ear down they are people noisy Already all factious opposition. Unfortunantedl with studying not hearty in the cause, and so a few suffice to chase them from the field.- nd the th m ey may otelylotrleeirr classes reproach interest; and deserve the heavier reproach, by consulting only th e i r own case, of sacrificing Tie public liberties. The Paris Journals of Tuesday have all reached us. On Monday the general debate on the For tifications Bill closed in the Chamber of Peers, after which their Lordships proceeded to discuss the Bill, article by article, after the manner of a Bill in Committee in the British Houses of Lords and Commons. When the debate closed the names of several Peers were inscribed in the list of speakers who had not been heard, but such was the weariness of the Chamber after a six days' debate, that none of them claimed a hear ing. In fact, out of the Chambers the Bill has lost all interest. The works are too far advanced to be either retarded or modified by any resolu tion to which the Chamber of Peers may now come. The National and the Constitutionnel state that a Reformist dinner at the Barriere du Maine was put down by order of the pelice, just as the Reformers were sitting down to dinner. Some arrests took place, and the Republican print complains of the rough conduct of the police. M. Truy, Commissary of Police, accompanied by his agents, searched the office and premises of Viscount Edward Walsh, the editor of the Royalist print the Mode. Three portraits of the Duke of Bordeaux were seized and carried off. The Prefect of Police interrik.ted a dinner, whi the Re formists were enjoying in the restaurant beyond the Bariere du Maine. They in vain asked permission to finish their dinner ; and the National asserts, that some were maltreated by the police, even after they separated. The Paris Savings' Bank received on Sunday and Monday last 618,431 f., and paid away 653 , 000 f. There were 4,270 per sons who paid in the bank, of whom 647 were new. We have stated the number of the sub-prefects whom it is intended to dismiss or to remove to other departments at eighteen or twenty; we have some reason to believe that the changes in these functionaries would not be confined to this number. M. Duchatel at any rate wishes to command the election, and to direct them not only against the Cabinet of the Ist of March, but also against Messrs. Dufaure and Passy, who are the cause of great inquietude to the Ministry. The failure of M. Lehon has been for some days past the ge neral subject of conversation in the Chamber and in the politi cal circles. It was asserted this evening in the best informed quarters, that the Minister of Justice had resolved to propose very great changes in the system by which the office of notary is now regulated—Le Temps. The accounts brought by the Baron Eichhof steamer from Constantinople, which are of the 7th of March, confirm the re ports of the illness of the Sultan, wbo has periodical attacks of cramp, which cause some apprehension. The Minister of Agriculture and Commerce has addressed a letter to the Chamber of Commerce of Marseilles, in which he announces, that in conformity with the wish of the Cham ber, that constant protection might be afforded to French mer chantmen on the west coast of Africa, by stationing a larger number of ships of war on that ccast, the Minister of Marine, to whom he communicated this wish, has thought fit to accede to it, and decided, that instead of three men of war, as hitherto, there shall be five stationed on these coasts, and that Admiral Duperre has given the command to M. Bonet, who has just been raised to the rank of Captain of a corvette, and distin guished himself by his ability and zeal in the survey of that coast in 1839.—Le Commerce. ROLLS' COURT-(THIS DAY.) KING OF HANOVER V. SIR H. WHEATLEY. The defendants in this case, it may be recollected, obtained an order for a Commission to Hanover to cross• examine two of the plaintiff's witnesses, but a difficulty having arisen as to the form of the order. the 'case was brought on again for the purpose of obtaining 61 lirection sDf the Court. The klAsTira of the ROLLS this morning stated that search having been made an order had been discovered in a case of Campbell v. Scongall, which appeared to him applicable to the present case, and directed the order to be drawn up in the same form.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MARCH 31.—But a limited business has been done in the Cotton Market this day, and the sales are confined to 3,000 bales. There has not been the least change in the Cotton Market, which is at present rather dull, owing to the arrival of the Britannia. Speculators and exporters are still inactive.

A severe gale was experienced on the 15th ult., which did considerable damage. The Britannia royal steamer arrived at Boston on the morn ing of the 22d inst., in 40 hours from Halifax, and 17 days from Liverpool. Over 20,000 letters and 40 bushels of news papers were received by her at the Boston Post-office. (From the Montreal Herald.) THE PRESENT ASPECT OF AFFAIRS BETWEEN GREAT BRITAIN AND THE UNITED STATES. —lt is satisfactory to learn that our Government are preparing for the worst, and display unusual activity in all the departments connected with the military and naval affairs. Besides the steam frigates of a large class now building in this city and Kingston, two addi tional ones will be placed on the stocks at the current of St. Mary. CANADIAN MILITARY FORCE.—There are 20,000 regulars in the two provinces. In addition each regiment of Militia is required to have two flank companies in constant readiness: as there are 113 regiments in the Upper Province this will give 16,000 men. A force of 36,000 men can be called into the field at a moment's notice. Sir George Arthur, it appears, does not return to England, he Has been appointed by the Governor-in-Chief, Deputy- Governor of that part of the province of Canada, heretofore constituting the province of Upper Canada. We learn, by the Lockport Courier, that a meeting has been held there respecting the alleged insecurity of the county gaol, for the safe keeping of Rl'Leod ; it seems that all precautions are and have been taken of late to ensure his safety. The Sheriff, one of his deputies, the gaoler, and two other persons, hired fur that purpose, keep watch by turns every night to give the alarm in case of an attack from without, or attempt to escape within.

Ilia asear delpeacurtner.. BOW-STREET :7 .(THIS DAY.) Ann Connell was this morning placed at the bar charged with having stabbed a man of the name of Collins, in the eye. The complainant stated that he was passing along Drury lance last evening, when he was stopped by the prisoner, who requested him to treat her, and he did so. She then took him to her own house, and when they were in, locked the door and demanded his money. He refused to give her any, and she seized a knife threatening to take his life unless he delivered up his money. He still refused, and the prisoner stabbed him in the eve. Complainant then attempted to e-cape by the window, but found he could not do so without endangerin g his life. He called lobidly for the police, and the prisoner broke a leg off the table, and commbnced beating the co m pl a i nan t a b ou t the head and shoulders; by this time the police-officer had suc ceeded in obtaining an entrance, and took the prisoner into custody. The police-officer was called, who corroborated the latter part of this testimony. The prisoner, in her defence, merely denied the charge, and she was fully committed for trial. THE MARKETS.-..( T HIS DAY.) COLONIAL MARKET. There was little done by private treaty, and the public sales were unimportant. Prices were, however, sustained for most articles. The imports were small. TEA MARKET. There was a fair business done in Free Trade, and prices were fully supported. Company's Congou steadily at Is. 7d. per lb. cash. TALLOW MARKET. There was a fair business done in Russian Tallow, and prices were firm at 455. 6d. on the spot ; town Tallow, 495. 6d. per cwt. WHITECHAPEL MARKET.

G-E RMAN 0 i;ERA,. The announcement for last night of one of Mozart's most splendid operas, Titus, promised a great treat, and was a ch." cided and very considerable improvement upon the last novelty which Mr. Schumann presented to the public. We hope that that gentleman has either had tact enough himself to perceive, or good sense enough to be taught by sagacious friends, that as the representative of the German Opera in England, he should most strictly confine himself to the production of Ger man music. For this his company was last year, (and will be again this year, we hope) admirably well adapted, and this the persons who frequent the theatre expect from him. If in the selection of his operas he try to attract to his theatre the loose many, who will go anywhere for noise, novelty, or fashion—if he take but one step out of the course so plainly chalked out for him, and of which he _seemed last year to have so clear a perception, he will, we think, grasp at the shadow and probably lose the substance. We give the inha bitants of London credit for an improved and improving mu sical taste, and doubt not that a considerable audience will be ever ready to support him if he be faithful to his trust, and bring before the lovers of German music in London a succession of operas, not all first rate, but such as abound.,in Germany, and many of which, delightful though they be, are little or not at all known in this country. It is plain that at present his company is anything but complete, and perhaps the number of operas he can bring forward successfully is therefore small. Had we doubted this fact before, last night's performance would have convinced us of it. There are but seven parts to fill in Titus, two of which are unimportant, yet we are sorry to say that with the exception of Madame Heinefetter, Madame Schumann, and Mr. Steiner, none did justice to Mozart's music. Haitzinger (a favourite of ours of long standing), was evidently suffering from cold, and we apprehend he has even a more insidious and relentless enemy to combat with than influenza. His good taste and musical knowledge were as perceptible as ever, but he lacked vigour both as a singer and an actor, and did not by any means satisfy us. Miss Furth ( Vitellia) was, until last night, entirely unknown here, and as far as we can judge from a first appearance, she is no fit representative of the revengeful, domineering Roman beauty, who by her charms and arts in duces the virtuous, high-souled Sextus to become the betrayer, nay, the assassin of his imperial friend. Her voice, though powerful, appeared to us shrill, unpleasing, and wanting expression, so as to form a complete contrast to the impassioned, soul-stirring tones and acting of Heinefetter, who surpassed herself last night as Sextus. Let no one re proach the German language with harshness, and call it ill adapted to music, who has ever heard Heinefetter sing " Dann sey dein Herzvoll Liebe,; Sey dein Besitz mein Lohn I" - _ And, again— " Ach nur einmal noch im Leben ! Lasz dein Herz mir offen stehn? Ruhiger, bast du vergeben, V erd'ich dann zum Tode gehn 1" Or her beautiful duet with Steiner, as Annius, in the first act—. " In deinem Arm zu weilen." Also Madame Schumann's duett with Steiner— " Ach verzeih' du Auserweehlte, ' the well-known " Ah, perdona al primo affetto," was beau tifully executed, and ought to silence all objections to the lan guage of our Saxon ancestors. The choruses, though as well executed as usual, are less numerous in Titus than in more modern operas. One, in the second act, expressing gra titude and joy at the escape of Titus from the con spirators, was exquisitely performed, and, with Haitzin ger's solo, was the only encore of the evening. Mozart's genius needs not our weak voice to extol it; we can only express our delight at a gain hearing it, although the per formance left us much to wish for. We wait with impatience for the arrival of, at least, some of the many promised addi tional singers, and regret exceedingly that King Ernest of Han over, with his usual kindness and consideration for others, has refused leave of absence to Steinmuller, whose excellent bari tone would have been a most desirable acquisition to the pre sent company, the more so as Poeck, whom he almost equals, and to whom he is preterred by some, is not to make his ap pearance here this season. We are to have Madame Von Hasselt, whose pure delightful voice, free from all guttural and nasal notes, and whose tremulo, that rare power, still more rarely well applied, is the admiration of all Germany; and Madame Lehmann, of whom fame speaks highly, and who made a successful debut at Vienna a short time ago, and Tichatcheck, the first tenor, even in musical Germany. All these we are to hear and admire, and we look forward to great things after the holidays. We must not however forget to remind Mr. Bunn, or who: ever manage these things, that it is not quite comme itPut to see two decently dressed English footmen in drab and red livery with its accompaniments, intrude into the presence of the Iloman Emperor and Senate. kotzebue's story of his having seen on the stage in Paris, during the performance of Athalie, a chimney decorated with a number of tobacco pipes, is certainly not worse than this, and that was fifty years ago. Surely such outrages on costume ought not to be permitted here. The house was not very well attended, and the audience, partly, we presume, because like us they were disappointed, and partly because they did not understand the music, or the language, were unusually apathetic. Her Majesty and Prince Albert arrived during the overture, and left soon after the beginning of the second act. The Committee on the Designs Copyright Bill has been further deferred from Wednesday 21st April, to Wednesday, 12th May. A DJOUR NED COMMISSION OF LUNACY.— Wednesday mooing, at half_pest eleven o'clock, the com mission of lunacy upon Miss White, of Twickenham, which was adjourned from the 17th inst., at the reque,t of Miss White, in order to provide herself with profes sional assistance, was resumed before Mr. Commissioner the e eccentric, reater portion of it rather than Blount and a special jury , composed of the county magis tracy, at the Crown Hotel , Twickenham. A great deal owfenestidteo ho nc seww adduced, asl but h that ady was inane ; and after a personal interview the jury found that Miss Barbara White is of sound mind, and capable of managing her own affairs and her property. Miss White is in bet 52nd year. Amongst the various valuable ornaments, chiefly of silver, which were occasionally used in some of the apartments at Windsor Castle, but which for some time past had been placed amongst the stores, and lately discovered to be missing (in addition' to a large quan tity of other similarly valuable property), is a silver crown, which formerly belonged to Charles 11., and highly prized for its peculiarly beautiful and elaborate workmanship. There a e no hopes entertained of discovering any por tion of the silver articles which have been purloined; for there is little doubt that long before this, indeed, that almost immediately arter they were stolen, they were in the crucible of some of the London receivers. A case came before the Insolvent Debtor's Court on Wednesday, in which the petitioner, a lady who had kept the Sackville Hata, and lost all her own money, as well as some belongiog to other persons, ascribed her in sohency partly to the Whigs. It appeared that she told the agent of the opposing creditors that " if she could get the abominable Whigs out cf her house and the Tories in she should go on like clock work " Tha Commissioner said she was not the only foolish person who had thought fur the last four years that the Whigs would go out. PRESENTS TO HER MAJESTY.—WINDSOR, MARCH 30.—Two Arabian ponies, which have been sent as presents to her Miijesty from thelmaum of Muscat, ar rived at the Royal mews, yesterday morning, from Buck ingham Palace. They are grey, about four years old. They are quiet in harness, and are intended to be driven by her Majesty upon fne arrival of the Court at Windsor at Easter. Prince Albert drove them in a pony phaeton, before they left town. MALT.— A return has been laid before the House of Commons of the quantity of malt used in the dis tilleries during the years 1839 and 1840 in the united kingdom. The total amount in 1839 Was 4,223,342 bushels ; and in 1840, 4,037,122 bushels. The quantities used in the three countries for the last year were as fol lows :—England, 238.26 3 ; Ireland, 486 240 •; and Scot land, 3,312,619 bushels, being nea rly five times as much as that used in England and Ireland together. In consequence of the lamented death of Mrs. Wilberfurcr, .we believe that no Bampton lectures Will be rt,iieered in the University pulpit this year.— Olfoi.d Rerald. At the close of the poll for the election of a Councillor for the ward of St. Thomas, Portsmouth, o n Tu , sday. Mr. Emanuel, a Jew• was elected bv a majority of 33.

BODY FOUND IN THE RIVER.—Mr. Baker held an inquest yesterday at the Green Man, High-street, Poplar, on the body of a once fine young man, apparently aged '2O, arid riarne not positively known. Cornelius Ryan proved finding the body o n Monday morning floating on the Thames cif Messrs. Napier and Co.'s factory, Mill-wall. Deceased was well dressed, and iu a pocket was found a letter addressed " James George, care of Mr. John George, 22, Lower Shadwell, London, Eng land," and dated " Graten, Feb. 4, 1841," and signed " Qrisal Morison." Theie being no evidence to prove the identity of deceased, or to show how he came into the Tham es . the verdict of the Jury was an open one, viz., " Found dead." RAILWAY TRAVELLING. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Slit,—By your givi.ig this insertion it may at once be the means of preventing such inconvenience as that ex perienced by the passengers of the coach alluded to in your Evening Paper of the 30th ult. The Jolly Alderman observes be left Bath, with 10 or 11 passengers, at a quarter-past one, to arrive at Wootton Bassett at five, and the Paddington terminus at eight ; and it further appears when they arrived at Wootton Bassett they a ere informed there was no train for passengers until two o'clock the next morning, unless they chose to go by the luggage train about seven o'clock that evening, at an extra charge of 6s. each passenger. They were, no doubt, taken with much surprise and chagrin at receiving such an intimatiln. Now had I fortunately for them been one of the passengers, I should have set them the example of ordering a post-chaise out to proceed on the journey, the contract bring after the arrival of the coach at Wootton Bassett to be conveyed to Paddington by the railway, and to arrive at eight o'clock. Your's, AN OLD TRAVELLER. 'THE HEY. H. STOWELL AND THE CHARTISTS. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) On Tuesday evening last the Bath Protestant Associa tion held their annual meetino at the Assembly-rooms, to Nhich were invite] by placard the operative classes, who; however, could gain admission but by tickets. The ob ject of the party calling the meeting was to form an Ope rative Protestant Society, but that object was frustrated by the Chartist', who attended in great numbers. On the platform were several Church clergymen, some Dis senters, and a few members of the Society of Friends. The numter present were estimated at from 5,000 to 6,000. On the ticket of admission it was stated that the person using it stood amenable to the direction of the chair. The Chartist , , therefore, proposed their awn Chairman, much ,to the mortification of the gentlemen on the plat. form, 'mho said they would take steps to put down such il 1-gal proceedings. Here a scuffle ensued, which ended in the success ofohe Chartist party, who, after much resis tance seccred the chair, nearly pulling all the platform gentry who had seized it from the platform. The scene at this moment baffled all description—never was the like witnessed in that room before. The appearance of po lice on the platform was treated with groans, hooting, and whistling, which continued for a length of time. At last, however, the Chartists passed, almost unanimously, a re solution against the formation of an Operative Protestant Society, which, they said, would be like arraying one sect against another. Mr. S. BARTLETT obtained a bearing, and made an in. teresting speech, to the satisfaction of all parties. Rev. HUGH SToWELL, Protestast Missionary from Man chester, rose to address the meeting, and after abusing the Catholics, who, he said, would commit murder if told to do it by their priests, declared himself to be a Tory. This declaration was hailed with hooting and groans from the operative classes, who would not bear him any more. The Rev. Gentleman at length gave way to the feeling of the meeting, and retired. Three cheers were given for the Charter, as many for Frost, Williams, and Jones ; and after paying the usual compliment to the Chair, one of the most uproarious meet ings ever held in Bath was dissolved about half-past ten o'clock. The Rev. Hugh Stowell challenged Bishop Baines, of the Catholic College, to meet him in discussion. The Bishop was not present. Bath, March 31, 1841. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION.

Such was the force of the collision that the schooner instantly went ?own. By great exertions the clew succeeded is jump ing upon the deck of the Jeune Pauline. The only pro perty saved were the ship's papers. The vessel and cargo is reporter! to be worth 3,0001.—0 n Sunday night last the Xanthue, a fine schooner, was totally lost, off the Lizard Point, near Falmouth. The unfortunate vessel struck on the Stag Sunken Rocks, and the crew had scarcely lime to take to their boats before she went to pieces. The vessel was trader tile command of Captain Bronchi, and was on her voyage from London to Liver pool. She was freighted with a general cargo. Since then a quantity of the cargo, consisting of casks of oil, wine, porter, vinegar, &c., has been washed ashore.— The brig Globe, Captain Buttall, which arrived at Tops ham on Tuesday last, brought intelligence that upon the 27th of March a large ship was seen bottom upwards. From the stormy state of the soa Captain Buttall was unable to approach the wreck, and therefore incapable of giving a particular description of the wreck. She, how ever, appeared to be an English vessel. The crew are supposed to be lost, as the ill-fated ship was several miles di , thint from land, and no boat was fallen in with by the Globe. THE POST OFFICE.---On Monday week a letter, containing nearly 1,000/. in bills of exchange and promissory notes, was put in the Preston Post-office in tended for Liverpool; but, as it did not reac h t h at place in due course, considerable anxiety began to to felt for its safety, and hand-bills were circulated, describing the notes, and offering a reward for their recover). Suspi riots was naturally excited concerning the honesty of some of the parties through whove hands the letter had to pass; but we arc happy to state, that, so far from carelessness or dishonesty attaching to the post office sersants, the cir cumstances of the case afford another instance of the dili gence displayed by the officers of that establishment in the discharge of their duty. The letter intended for " Ex change-buildings, Liverpool," was addressed " Exchange buildings, London," where it was, of course, sent. After a few days of fruitless inquiry, it was forwarded to Liver pool, with the words, "Try Liverpool" upon it, and the packet safely reached its destination early in the present week.—Preston Chronicle. The Earl of Cardigan arrived, with the Coun tess, on Monday at the York Hotel, for the purpose of making the necessary arrangements for the final departure of his regiment from Brighton.

EPSOM SPRING MEETING.-YESTERDA Y, The weather was anything but favourable to a numerous as semblage on the Do , Ans, March, to keep up the old adage, having " come in like a lamb and went out like a lion." '1 he meeting was nevertheless tolerably well attended by the hardier sex, among whom we noticed Lord George Bentinck, Sir G. Heathcote, Baron de Tessier General Grosvenor , Colonel Wyndham, Mr. Hawker, Mr. Ives, Mr. Crommelin, &c. The races, of which there were but two, came off as follow : Sweepstakes cf 5 sovs. each, with 50 added by Sir G. Heath cote; 3 yrs, 7st 01), and 4 yrs, 9st. One mile. Seven subs.

Betting -7 to 4 agst Fitzroy, 2 to .1 agst Bokhara, and 3 to 1 agst the Cecilia colt. Fitzroy took the lead at a slashing pace, followed by Bokhara to the rails near Tattenham Corner, where the latter bolted, and following his training practice, took the nearest road home, in defiance of the exertions of Chapple. At. the straight run ning Mobarek went in front, with Dromedary second, and won cleverly by half a length. It was a dead heat between Father Mathew and Cecilia for third place. Fearnought and Fitzroy were beaten off. Sweepstakes of 5 sous. each, with 25 added, 3 yrs, Est ' • 4 yrs, Bst 41b ; 5 yrs, Bst 131 b; 6 yrs and aged, 9st 5113. The winner to be sold for 2501.

Dismal Jemmy made play to the distance where he was challenged by Dahlia, and, after a spirited race between them and ltlungo Park, beaten cleverly. Third heat. The Nannette filly, the fa vourite, made all the running and won easy by two lengths. In the course of the day the following bets were made :- 2,000 Guineas Stakes. 8 to I apt Mr. Wreford's Wahab— taken DERBY. 7 to 1 apt Lord Bruce's Rosalie colt—taken 7i to 1 agst Lord Westminster's Van Amburgh—taken 40 to I agst Lord Jersey's Joachim—taken 40 to I agst Mr. Vansittart's Galaor—taken 500 even Rosalie colt agst Van Amburgh—taken MANCHESTER-TUESDAY EVENING. The attendance was decidedly good this forenoon ; several influential parties being present, and a strong disposition exhi bited to ba'k four or five horses for the important cup race of the 3d of May, had the fieldsmen being a little more liberal in their offers. Commencing with the present premier, viz. Gallipot, 8 to 1, and then si was offered, it increased to 9 to I. An offer was made to lay 500 he beats Queen Bee, who, at the opening, was decidedly second favourite, 11 to 1 being ccepted, with offers to lay 100 she beats ally thing bar Gallipot, or any three in the race for a hundred each. It was clear to us that Gibraltar had influential friends in the room. An offer to lay 100 to 7, bar 2, found a willing acceptor. Gibraltar was named, which places him unquestionably third favourite; we did not hear Bloomsbury backed, but place him, out of courtesy, fourth. After 100 to 7 was ac cepted on Gibraltar, we heard one 100 to 8 offered, but so cautious were the capitalists to give a chance away, that several confined their bids to 1,000 to 100. Previously, an offer was made to take 600 to 400 he beats anything in the race. Two or three parties were desirous of obtaining 100 to 5 on Retriever, Bedford, Cruiskeen, Tuly, or the Plover ; against the last-named horse it was once laid, but the top offer became our quotation. Ernest the First would have been supported at 25 to 1, five points less was offered. The same words will apply to Champagne, whose immediate party would, with others, have taken 500 to 20. I'm-not-aware was offered to be backed for 100 against Humming Bird, whose price yes erday was 1,000 to 35 offered. 10 to 1, in ponies, was wanted on Cruiskeen'and I etriever.

The present chapters of " Ten Thousand a Year" are among the best that have yet ar peared of this story. • Laying aside the coarse, vulgar buffoonery in which he is too prone t° indulge, and which by a singular infatuation he mistakes for humour, the author resumes t hat earnest tone of sentiment and description which he is most at home, and developer the ad mirably conceived character of Gammon wit!: great truth and power of analysis. This por trait is beyond a question Mr. Warren's chef d'efelir t ; It is skilfully individualized and discrirninatet! in all its phases, and may claim to be considered g one of the most vigorous and original conception of which modern fiction can boast. The scenes in which this consummate master of finesse figu re r with his victims, Titmouse, Kate Aubrey, and he deluded brother, are replete with that stirring! subtle, and natural power which mere ta10.1; alone can never supply. Testing him by tea conception, we acknowledge the author to be a man of decided genius, though so ill-regul ate is his genius, and so little at times under his eol l " trol, that he is constantly hurrying into CO; vagances, as in his sketches of Titmouse, and t Dreddlington family, who resemble nothiq either "in heaven •above, the earth beneatli,l the waters under the earth." We bear °() these grotesque anomalies, however, and aits e with the pages of dreary twaddle with which th e tale is infested, in consideration of the °l li striking character of the arch fiend Gal - nu l l; " Warren Hastings," is a spirited sketch of t he public and private career of this eminent State.: man, all whose misfortunes the biographer attl ot butes to his second marriage, though he doe s ° condescend to tell us in what; way it influen ce nt his fortunes; or brought about his impeadO e a .. in Westminster Hall. The truth is, th e obser s ti a tion, though meant to be exceedingly moraL s , virtuous, is pure fudge. " France versus V i t' o f land," displays more depth and acutenes s thought than are usually to be met with in per ° o f cal essays. 'We have been struck with the justie e r alludingthis remark : The writer is t o the P r o sent Constitution of France :—" Here it 5 1143 ` c 1 ) , patch of royalty ; there a patch of nel )„ " ' .; licanism ; here a faint colouring of aristoef,,' there, a strong dash of despotism. 7 , ° ; r s ofitsaspects have resulted from revolution, et` - . 1 from the iron rule which repressed revola ti f e s ; They are all mutually repellant, because tu t v have not originated in growth but in force- e force of anarchy and the force of the sword-15 sion and compulsion." The " Holocaust" is a v ie of the Peninsular war. Here is a graph ie ;ot count of the destruction of a French detacht°4o by the famous Cure Merino and his gar/ troops : Those who attempted to resist, and amongst 61 1 1 foe the Colonel, who had been wounded, but not -killed. 119 i e r, first discharge, were instantly despatched.

'f he diabolical intention of this proceeding s° °° „o o came apparent.

The heat was so violent that the WNW were obliged to retire to some distance from the Cl o ve' tion. The beams and planks of v hich the shed was bmloooo forced inwards by the faggots piled against them. The g eh° spread vapidly, and attained those of the wretched victireoia gt had crowded together in the centre of the corral, to a c o i. i ini long as possible their inevitable doom.
