FEBRUARY 24, 1841. L; In the House of Lords, last night, some peti tions were presented against the Poor-laws, and Lords FITZ WII:LIAM and ELLENBOROUGH both agreed that some amendment was necessary. Lord BROUGHAM brought in a Bill to explain the Acts for the preservation of property in Ire land, and extend their provisions to the city of Dublin. The Bishop of EXETER again brought under the notice of the House the non-printing of a police ordinance issued in Canada, and accused the Go vernment of gross neglect and want of ingenu ousness. Viscount MELBOURNE happily retorted on the ingenuous and Christian-duty-performing Bishop, that persons were much in the habit of charging others with those defects which were most con spicuous in themselves. The Bishop was assured That the Royal assent should not be given to the Ordinance till thirty days from the 16th instant, and though that did not satisfy him, he could get nothing else. Lord LYNDHURST having adverted with tender care to the subject of compensation to those who might be deprived of their offices by law reform— though we never heard that the Noble and Learned Lord suggested a compensation for the hand-loom weavers, who were deprived of their bread by a reform in machinery —and Viscount MELBOURNE having assured the Noble and Learned Lord that compensation should be provided, their Lord ships adjourned. The Commons received a considerable number Of petitions, including one presented by Lord M ORP ETH, signed by .205,850 persons, against Lord STANLEY'S Bill. Mr. M. PHILLIP S pre •sentcd a similar petition from Manchester, with 02,2a7 signatures. Leave to bring in a Bill was obtained by Mr. C. BULLER, to amend the law relative to the admis sibility of evidence; by Mr. HANDLEY, to drain land in England and - Wales ; and by Mr. Fox MAULE, for removing doubts as to the continu ance of certain Turnpike Acts. The adjourned debate on the Irish Registra tion Bill was resumed by Mr. YOUNG, the Mem ber for Cavan, who made, though opposed to Lord MORPETH'S Bill, a speech which Lord Howicx and Mr. MACAULAY subsequently cha racterised as sensible and judicious. His princi pal argument against the Bill was the imperfec tion of the present valuation of property, admit ting thereby that the valuation and rating to the poor, when improved, would be a good test of the franchise. Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN supported the Bill, ex posed the f nomalies of the Irish system, and de clared against allowing the landlords to grant or withhold the elective franchise, which would be the result of Lord STANLEY'S Bill. He regretted, too, that the G overnment Bill did not abolish the necessity of having paid the taxes, except the Poor Rates. Sir R. BATESON opposed the Bill, resting his vote on the speech of Lord STANLEY. 3Ir.CAREW thought the Bill of Lord STANLEY calculated to destroy the franchise, while Lord MORPETR'S Bill would secure it, and he gave the latter his cordial support. Lord HOWICK took up the strong ground of its being necessary to define the franchise before setting about making a system to register it, and enforced that view at considerable length with great effect. The Noble Lord also dwelt with great power on the mischief of narrowing the franchise. Mr. LEPROY followed Lord HOWICK, and made an Orange special pleading speech that was heard without pleasure, and will be read without instruction. The ATTORNEY -GENERAL for Ireland was, we ,f are bound to say, not much better, though he was on the opposite side to Mr. LEFROY. The Right Hon. Gentleman may have a clearhead, but he has not the faculty of convincing his hearers that he is so endowed. He explained and de fended the principles of Lord MORPRTH'S Bill, and showed in what way Lord STANLEY'S would be vexatious. Sir W. FOLLETT spoke of the measure much more like a nisi prius lawyer than a states man. But that was level to the capacity of the gentlemen around him, who accor dingly cheered him vociferously. His ar guments run on the insufficiency of the valua tion as the foundation of Lord MORPETH'S Bill, which, puerile as it was, he had not the merit of first bringing forward. The valuation will by and by be better. He pointed out,'however, that the valuation was not conducted according to Act of Parliament—a good ground for a prosecution for a misdemeanour, but having no more bearing on the settling the franchise of the Irish than his speech in favour of the Earl of CARDIGAN. The smooth silver tongue of this gentleman• is of more use to him, we apprehend, than his head ; at least it took captive the willing ears of the Tories, though he did not advance a single argument that ought to influence the judgment of a sane minded man. He was however well adapted to them, smooth sound, with a show only of sense. Mr. MACAULAY, who followed Sir WILLIAM FOLLETT, is the very reverse, and his rough, burley, husky voice seemed spasmodically V close the ears against the clear arguments he di rected to the understanding. In a speech power ful from its matter, and offensive from its man ner, which several times provoked the im patient and unmannerly laughter of those who would not wait to comprehend it, Mr. MACAULAY examined the question as a phi losopher and a statesman. He demonstrated that Lord MORPETH'S test would give great facilities for registration, would keep out bad voters and let in good, which is the great object to be ob tained. He also demonstrated that Lord STAN LEY'S Bill would keep out voters of all kinds, and would be an eternal system of vexation to the voter. It was a perpetual re-opening of cases once decided, contrary to the principles of the law of England both in crimi nal and civil cases. He showed by his own ex ample—possessing a vote for the University of Cambridge, which, though more valuable than a vote for an Irish county, he would not seek every year to maintain—that Lord STANLEY'SBiII would be a measure of sweeping disfranchise ment. He was extremely happy in expos ing the present uncertainty and inconsis tency of the law, showing that in Dublin whoever was defeated in the Barrister's Court, having a power to appeal to either one of the Superior Courts, which take opposite views of the franchise, was sure to be successful before the Judges ; showing, too, that the law is different in different parts of Ireland, and in different years ; and all these anomalies and inconsistencies the Legislature, under Lord STANLEY'S guidance, whose bounden duty it is to make the law clear and precise, would aggravate tenfold. The Right Hon. Gentleman was very happy, too, in expo sing the pernicious effects of Lord STANLEY'S Bill in making the Judges suspected political partizans, and concluded a powerful speech, as to matter, by reminding the House of the ne cessity the country was under at a former time, from treating Ireland unjustly, of em ploying her troops there to quell insurrection when they might have been adding to the glories of Blenheim, or anticipating those of Waterloo. But Mr. MACAULAY'S speech did not tell as it ought on the House. Surely a man may have strong convictions, without giving way to an im petuous manner ; may reason clearly, without speakincr loud; may have fine and noble thoughts, adorned by beautiful illustrations, without thun dering them out as if he had not to convince his opponents, but to crack their ears. The un measured vehemence which provokes laughter leads him into errors. We noticed two or three such alliterative slips, as, speaking of a Judge, "he will be regarded by one party as an oppressor, and by the other as a demagogue." But if one party would regard him as an oppressor, the other would regard him as a friend and protector, and Mr. MACAULAY expressed himself erroneously. It is much to be regretted that lie mars his effective and powerful reasoning by a kind of bow-wow oratory, as If big thoughts could only be uttered by bellowing. The debate was again adjourned when Mr. MACAULAY resumed his seat, without receiving a tithe of the ' cheers his excellent matter deserved. I The House adjourned at Twelve o'Clock. The Electors of Glasgow held a public meet ing or Friday, and passed, unanimously, a series of resolutions for the modification of the Import Duties, of which the following are specimens :- 4th. That the present Duties on the importation of foreign Corn, and other food, levied for the supposed encouragement cf the landowners, have been shown on many occasions, and more especially by the evidence adduced under the foresaid Report, to be equivalent to a tax on the consumers of the United Kingdom, a an amount equal to that of the whole an nual taxation thereof, for the purposes of Government. sth. That our rejection of the corn, timber, and other ag ricultural and pastoral produce o f th e ontinent of Europe and other countries, have provoked similar exclusions of British manufactures from these countries, and forced into existence many rising and formidable foreign manufactures--the farther advancement of which continues to be accelerated by the same stimulative causes—the great and insurmountable barrier to the restoration to relations for interchange 0f produc'ions with these countries being still our adhesion to such protective re gulations. - On Thursday the Town Council of Glasgow adopted a petition to the House of Commons as follows: That your petitioners beg leave earnestly to call the at tention of your Honourable House to the distress which has for a considerable time prevailed throughout the kingdom, in the different branches of mercantile and manufacturing industry; and they humbly submit to your Honourable House the urgent expediency of your taking into your early con sideration the tariff and import duties on foreign produce, more especially the existing state of the Corn and Provi ion laws, with a view to such an alteration in these laws as will have- the effect of extending the commerce of the country, and increasing the comforts of the working classes. • These are encouraging examples. In Glasgow the distress is urgent. In twenty years the rate of mortality has very nearly doubled ; the disease which always prevails amongst the poor en dangers the lives and enfeebles the health of the opulent, and the citizens only do their duty to themselves and their country in demanding a revision of our tariff, and the abolition of several onerous taxes. Their exertions will second the labours of the Liberal Members of the House of Commons, and in the end effect the object desired. Too soon that cannot be accomplished. The accounts from the manufacturing districts say, that fewer and fewer hands are employed in the mills, and dis tress is increasing. Already the population is much degraded. Their standard of well-being has been gradually beaten down, till it has now reached the level of the Hindoos. They. cannot sink lower, they can only perish. Their morality has been degraded with their physical condition, and all the evils of a retrograding condition of society have already been inflicted on the people by our so-called paternal Legislature. To starve down a population, or to keep it down by a want of food, includes all those evils which are summed up in the two emphatic words, VICE and MISERY, by which Mr. MALTH US desig nated the giant agents for keeping down popu lation. We have barely time or space to direct atten tion to the proceedings yesterday at that sink of corruption, the Sewers Court—a Court which, as at present constituted, ought to hold its sittings in Fleet Ditch, the better to hear " Great Tom" of St. Paul's toll its funeral knell. Indeed, the learned Commissioners seem to be apprehensive of such a doom, for they wish to propitiate the Church at the expense of the Dissenters, by levying a tax on the one for the benefit of the other. But the most amusing part of their proceedings is, that, having at last emerged into day, they cannot now recognise themselves distinctly; each appears so far gone, from having navigated below so long, he cannot endure the more searching atmosphere above ground with out great annoyance, and naturally feels, in the words of the poet, "Blasted with excess of light." No matter ; --- we hope the sunshine will do one and all of them much Food, and help to infuse more salubrious air into the sewers generally. Mr. ADEY, a Learned Commissioner, if we mistake not, seems to be of the same opi nion; for, deriving his knowledge from St. Luke's, according to the Report— Mr. ADZE considered that the difficulties they were placed in was owing to their legal advisers; those who had drawn up the draft of the decree seemed to have been anxious to bitch the question altogether. A COMMISSIONER--TO what? Mr. ADZY—To bitch it, to throw it overboard. --(Great sensation.). Sensation indeed !—We wonder that the mud larks, now the frost is over, did not rise up in judgment at once, and bury such an ugly word in the mouth of the learned civilian. The term, though not over classical, is, we believe, regis trated in JOHNSON or TODD, or we should have been afraid to touch it. But one thing is quite clear, that the artist has displayed an admirable knowledge of his subject, and painted it i n We wi s h him colours not to be mistake n . joy of his doings ! We have lately attended to the proceedings of the Commission ers o f Sewers at greater length' tharr usual, in consequence of Lord NORMANBY'S Bill—a .Bill which interests all the large boroughs and towns in the manufacturing dis tricts; and we would advise them one and all to watch its progress, that they may not get into the same " slough of despond," as the good people of London have got. The Dissenters are naturally indignant at the infliction of Church-rates but when they expe rience the working of the Sewers'-rates, as duly administered in the metropolis, they will have abomination superadded to extortion. The proprietors of Waterloo-bridge have acted wisely in adopting the proposition for re ducing the toll for foot-passengers, so often pressed upon them by. Mr. Morgan, one of the largest Shareholders. They will benefit them selves as well as the public by the change, in crease the value of property on the Surrey side of the River, and in time will be the means of rendering the neighbourhood of the two theatres more healthy and more respectable. The public, it is often said, have no idea of gratitude; they suit only their own convenience ; but if there was an occasion on which they were bound to exercise that noble quality, it is this. A Company of private indivi duals have erected at an enormous expense a bridge which is justly the pride of the country ; vast sums have been sunk never to be reclaimed, and though many of the Proprietors have doubts! as to the result, they nevertheless have boldly ventured on the experiment. We wish them, as they well deserve, ultimate success. • MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE VV S CITY, TI;E:DAY EVENING. The Foreign Exchanges were firmer again this after noon, and it is booed now that the improvement has be come confirmed. The rate for bills on Faris was 25f. 571 e. to 60c. ; on Amstcr.3am 12 3to ;on Antwerp 12 2 tot; and on Hamburgh 13 7i. Tc-day the market was again depressed. For pr.hent transfer Consols realized 881 to 8811; and to the April Account the continuation am ato per cent. Exche quer Bills remained at 69. to 4s. premium ; and India Bonds ware at 10:r. to 15s. discount. Bank Stock was firm at 1664 ; and India Stack at 248. The Reduced Three-and-p-Half par Cents. were at 974 to 974; the Three per Cents., 89 to 884 ; and the New Three-and-a- Half per Cent-. at 964 to 974 There was but a limited business in the Forego Secu rities to-day, but still as lower ri.tes were general) , sub mitted to the market was rather more active than yester day. Portuguese Bonds were a shade lower, viz. 314 t o 4 for the New Five per Cents., and 194 for the Three per Cents.; both these were the Account prices. Spanish Active Bonds remained at 23i to a ; Colombian Bonds of 1824 were at 224 ; Mexican of 1837 at 274 ; Chilian at 604 for money, and at a fall from 64 to 604 for account ; Peruvian at 164 to j-; and Buenos Ayrei at 25; Belgian Old Five per Cents. were at a rise to 994; Dalish Stock advanced to 771 and 78; and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were worth 50/ to I-. There were a few sales made in the Railway Shares at a slight decline upon the previous rates. Great Western were 24 to 234, the New 101 to 11, and the London and Birmingham 79 premium ex-dividend ; Brighton were 72-, and Edinburgh and Glasgow 54 dhcount. Provincial Bank of Ireland Shares were 181 premium. The affair of the aAful loss of the Governor Fenner con tinues to excite much attention and discussion in the C ty. There were no exports of bullion in the week ending Thursday last. (From The Sun ,f Last Night.) By the arrival of the Lisbon Mail this morning, brought by the Royal Tar Steamer, the intelligence is of more interest than usually received. In the Sl i tting of the 9th inst., one of the Deputies asked the Minister of Foreign Affairs whether it was true that a Commercial Treaty was on the point of being concluded with England, the stipulations of which were highly prejudicial to Portugal? His Excellency replied that some steps had been taken by the Portuguese Government towards the formation of a Treaty with England, which he hoped would be of much advantage to this country, but that it was yet very far from being concluded. The intelligence also states that the finan cial prospects are looking more gloomy than ever. For further particulars we refer our readers to another part of the paper. Extract of a letter from Dublin, Feb. 21, posted at the North and South American Coffee-house : " DUBLIN, FEB. 21, 1841.—1 am sorry to hear by this day's arrival that the Nottinghim wa3 passed last night in tow of another steamer, she having been run foul of. The Birmingham reports that this morning at seven A.M. they saw the wreck of a large ship about 16 miles west of the Skerras, apparently split in two parts, the sides floating up, and held together by the wreck. Cargo, of course, all out of her. Captain Church went on board of her, and found two men dead in the rigging, apparently not long so. He saved a trunk, which I now have here. From the contents I should say the vessel was bound to New York. This trunk contains amongst many other things some testimonials of a gardener, named John APlntyre, who has been in the service of several noble Irish families. There were some watches in the trunk, which, with the rest of the contents, I will keep for the present. The stern of the vessel was gone, and no name to be seen. It has been admitted by the mate, on an examination to-day, that she had no lights hoisted, and that the crew saw the steamer twenty minutes before the vessel struck ; the time between their striking and the sinking of the Governor Fenner did not ex ceed five minutes. The dreadful consequence, however, may no doubt be referred to the circumstance of the Governor Fenner earryingno lights, which has been admitted by the mate. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, AIONDAY, FEB. 22.—The Sales to-day are 5,000 bags, of which. 300 American, are on speculation. The market is more quiet than on Saturday, but prices are very ste a dy.

No communication with the telegraph owing to the fog. MANCHESTER STecic EXCHANGE, FEB. 22.—There has been a fair inquiry for Shares to-day, but owing to the scarcity of Stock few transactions have taken place : —Hull and Selby, 44; Manchester and Birmingham, 24k; London and South Western 58 ; North Midland, 74 to 75 ; Lancaster and Pres ton 321 to 324 ; Ditto New 20 to 20i ; Manchester and Leeds 75 to 76i ; Ditto Halves 324 to 33. Mauritius papers have been received at Bordeaux to tie 21st Nov., which state that island to be in a great agitation owing to an order from the Governor Sir Lionel Smith, that all Frenchmen inhabiting the colony must prepare to leave it. We are informed that the bills on Messrs. Morrison, drawn by the United States Bank, have be en d u l y accep t e d, and a portion of them subsequently discounted by the Bank of England. By the last advice! from Philadelphia there was great ap prehension that the above bills might not be honoured, which had the effect there of causing the late depression of the prices in the shares of the United States Bank. Consols opened at the same quotations as they left off, 88i for Account ; Money the same ; Bank Stock, 165 167; Exche quer Bills, 4 6 prem. ; India Stock, 247 248.

Thursday next being settling day, in the British Market the brokers and jobbers are preparing their accounts against that period. _ _ It is stated in the City that Ministers will have a majority on the Irish question of about 7 or S. The Ilriti,h Funds continue in the same slate as in the early part of the morning, and it is not expected that any operations of consequence will take place until after the settlement of the account.

COMMERCIAL TREATY II ITH FRANCE. During the debate in the French Chambers on the cus toms laws, the different articles which formed the subjects of discussion were considered from time to time in the French journals, which thus constantly brought forward the most irn portant commercial relations of the country. The article re lating to the importation of foreign grains embraced two dis tinct questions —one, the question concerning oleaginous grains in general, the other that of linseed in particular. The customs laws of 1836 had assimilated grains introduced by the frontier to those brought by sea—an,enactment whidi at the expense of navigation gave a great impulse to frontier imports. Bence it was, that the Administration brought in the proposal that oleaginous grains coming by land should bear a distinctive duty. The seeds of flax, however, it was observed, required to be considered quite in a different light. The great , impriwernenta :in 'Woollen and cotton -stuffs- from the application . of machinery seemed to render it de sirable that linen also should be open to similar advantages. '1 he interests concerned in the question of duties affecting linen were very numerous. To the growth of flax 160,000 hectares of land are devoted, while the western population gain a subsistence by hand spinning. Ihe founders of es tablishments, in imitation of English manufactures, the weavers employing threads of every kind, whether pro duced by the hand or by machinery, the vine-growers and silk-manufacturers, who, if the duty on the seeds were raised, feared a retaliation on the part of the countries that furnish them,--Lall these were important interests which had to be consulted. As it was considered expedient to encou rage French linen manufactures, it was remarked that any elevation of the duty on the flax-seeds should be balanced as far as possible by an increase in the duty on linen webs, as otherwise one interest would be sacrificed to another. Such a plan, however, would, it was considered, be attended with great inconveniences; for the threads are indispensable to the manufactures, while the impor tation of foreign webs is but small; so that whi e the manufac turer paid a higher price for his thread, the difference in the importation would net be sufficient to cause a corresponding increase in the price of the web. The relations with Belgium had also to be considered with regard to this question. 'f he reduction of the duty on webs in 1d36 was followed by a reduc tion in Belgium on several articles of French produce, and hence it might be inferred that a contrary movement on the side of France would be followed by retaliation on the side of Belgium, and the consequent loss of a commercial ally. With respect to the complaints made by the French agr:- culiurists against the progressive importation of linseed, the question was at last considered whether in fact these complaints were well founded—whether, indeed, the foreign grains had really been substituted for those of French produce, arid this portion, it is said, has not yet been answered, while it is not to be forgotten that the oil manufactures of the south of France have been greatly benefited by the importations of foreign grains. It will be remembered that the proposed augmenta tion of the duty on flax was rejected. Another important subject that was brought forward was the importation of foreign cattle. Here it was observed in the journals, that in 1823 more than 41,000,000 kilogrammes of meat were consumed in Paris, and that by a population of 714,000, while in 1836 it was but 43,000,00 U kilogrammes for 909,000; so that in the former case the consumption was and in the latter 48, kilogrammes for the individual, the price rising according to the diminution of the quantity. '1 he pro posed amendment of the duty on foreign cattle was less to diminish than to rectify the impost, merely substituting a duty levied by weight for one levied per head. The amendment was, however, withdrawn, so that small and large cattle neces sarily pay the same duty. Some curious statistics have been brought forward with reference to this article, by which it ap pears that if 50 kilogrammes is the extreme allowance for the inhabitants of towns, it is only 24 for those of towns and country places taken together, which is much less than the rations allowed to soldiers and prisoners ; that for the former being 9U, and that for the latter 70, kilogrammes per year.— Times.

THE ITALIAN OPERA.—The numerous ru mours which have been afloat with regard ta the supposed diff, , rerrces between Laporte and nearly every one of the "gifted Five," we are enabled to extinguish by stating that Griti, Persiani, Rubini, and Lablache, are under tn gagements to the lessee of this establishment, eod will make their debut at the accustomed periodytn Raster week. As re gards Tamburini, negotiations are still pending.

THE LAW 01 DLIBTOR AND CREDITOR. — One of the striking defects in the present law of datnr and creditor is the absence of a power to enab!si debtors to give up their property without going to prison, unless all the - creditors agree to an arrangement ; and a numLec of cases have occurred of persons viho. in order to prevent b o c n : creditor sweeping away the - whole of their property, hate procured f r i en dl y arres t s , an d s ubmitted to from two ;to three mo n th s ' i mpr i sonment , w ith tire view of equally the whole of their crier! 4 r, . DRURY-LANE THEATRE. We have been long and most assiduously labouring to win to our uncongenial northern shore that wayward and gay daughter of " the sweet south"—masquerade. The experi ment has proved almost Uniformly vain. We have neither the quick facetious vein—nor the spontaneous dramatic spirit from which this singular popular emanation breaks forth in its native soil. It is the embodiment of the soul of satire amongst the children of Italy—it throws the pasquinade into the various forms of farce, and through that medium lashes the prevailing follies of the time. We cannot personify its jocund train, and for the most part, fall into most pitiable mockery. The ordi nary public masquerades "in this our metropolis, have been dis gusting for their unmitigated grossness—their coarsely animal character—their utterly vulgar Saturnalias quality. The effort now made at this theatre to give them something of a better tone is creditable. It greatly mitigates their demerits. It emulates the Bals Masque of Paris, and may be consi dered to realise a very animated fancy ball, in which attention to something like order is preserved and well regulated, exten sive exhibition of dance, set off with a great variety of bright and picturesque costume, is secured. The arrangements for the display of Monday night were very complete in the house. The orchestra was brought to a position at the centre of the dress circle. A fresh crimson drugget was laid down on the boards of the whole area, and the theatre appeared to be bril liantly lit up. The dress circle was appropriated to the use of the masqueraders—the other parts of the house were reserved IT spectators, and from the very commencement of the night's work they were occupied by a crowd which seemed very much to enjoy the scene upon which it looked down. The number of masqueraders was very great indeed, and they exhibited many very elegant, and some most s'riking specimens of costume. Amongst the more prominent supporters of the scene in its true spirit were a considerable number of French artistes, as we must call them, and they gave an animation to the dance, in which a more than ordinary Vest r i s c h aracter prevailed. The music was excellent, and well calculated to inspire the children of Terpsichore on the occasion. The attendance of dominoes was very full. The arrangements fur refreshment and for supper were plenary and convenient, and the whole affa'r passed off with the most ample success. MUSICAL CHIT-CHAT. The Philharmonic Society had a general meeting last week, to take into consideration a communication from Mr. Costa, at the desire of Laporte, that such of the perforiners as wished to be engaa,ed at the Opera for the ensuing season must do so under an agreement to attend at all times when required, whether on the mornings appointed for the Philharmonic re hearsals, or otherwise. After much discussion it was resolved that matters should take their course as heretofore ; but nearly forty of the performers, who belonged to both orchestras, and who had already signed their agreement with the directors of the Philharmonic, were given to understand that they mutt make their election which of the two orchestras they would give up, should Laporte insist on their attendance whenever he thought fit to call them. This was a most distressing situation to the performers, and they assembled at the Op: ra House on Fri,lay, to meet Costa, who behaved extremely well throughout the unpleasant business, and the result of the con ference was that the whole of them were re-engaged by Costa for the present season ; and we trust that no collision of re hearsals will take place if it can possibly be avoided. The following artistes have been engaged for her Majesty's Theatre :—Grisi, Persiani, Pauline Garcia, Rubini, and La biache, but not Tamburini yet. Both Taglioni and Cerito have also been engaged ; so that we may anticipate a most brilliant season, which will commence on the 6th or the 13th of March, at the last. THE GERMAN OPERAS. — Drury-lane has been engaged by Mr. Bunn for four months, for the German Company, who will commence its performances about the middle of March. The principal singers are to be of first-rate talent, with a band of forty, and a chorus of sixty, which Herr Schumann will bring with him from Germany. The Director is to be the composer Marschner. Weber's splendid opera, Oberon, is to be brought out, and in June Meyerbeer wilt come over to su perintend his celebrated opera of Les Huguenots, with Ger man words. The season will close on the 6th of July, when Eliason will resume his Concerts d'Ete on a very extensive scale. ANCIENT CONCERTS.—The first performance of ancient music this season (being the sixty-fifth) will take place on the lOth of March, under the direction of his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge : conductor of the evening, H. H. Bishop, Mus. 13ac. Oxon. ENGLISH OPERA House.—We are glad to hear that Balfe is progressing most Fatisfactorily with his arrangements for opening the Lyceum on the 6th of March. 'T he subscription from those who feel it a duty to support native talent is daily increasing, and it will, we hope, at least keep pace with that for the German company, which, it is reported, amounts to about 6,0001. THE ICE ON THE RHINE. (Extract from Letters.) 16 EARoacum, FEB. . These are very critical moments,N aidthe uneasiness of the people is manifest. Between six and eleven o'clock the water has risen several feet. At eleven o'clock the ice broke with a tremendous crash, and piled itself in such a manner on the Schaardyke as, I believe, has never been recollected be fore. The ice is above a man's height on the dyke, so that even the foot passengers are prevented passing along. Notwithstanding this immense pressure, the dyke has kept in good condition, though the water was rising in all quarters: expresses were tlespatched to the various sta tions,—and the tidings from lleteren (between Wageningen and Arnheim) were as follow consequence of the stop pages of ice, the water streamed since three o'clock this morn ing over the dyke ; we anticipate every moment one or more ruptures; such spots as appear weak have been supported by piles, baskets of earth, and other means to withstand any shocks; and they appear to be giving way. We have no prospects of escape except by the remov a l o f th e i ce. R , FLETE EN, Eli. 1 7.--The water is running over the dyke, and we are doing our best to save ourselves, and there are seven dangerous points to look after, but the ice is not so con siderable, and the water is falling. LIENDEN, FEB. 17. —Evening, Nine o'Clock. The water ran this afternoon at different places, more than one foot deep, over the dyke, since which it has fallen rapidly. Accordingly,,_ we begin to entertain hopes that all will go off well. The danger is passed at the Lek, but the Waal is stil re ported to be in a bad state, both these rivers are branches,: the Rhine. The rivers are known to our travellers. the for mer passing Arnheim, the latter Gorcum and Nymwegen. A TRAVELLER. SHIFPIA G IN TELLIG.ENCL. (LLOYD'S.) LONDON, FEB. 23.—Wind this day at noon E., fine.

But what shall I say of the human habitations in this (so called) most thriving and best conditioned quarter of Ireland ? If I kaa not seen every second face at a hovel door with a smile on it, and heard laughing and begging in the same breath every where, I should think here were human beings abandoned by their Maker. Many of the dwellings I saw upon the read-side looked to me Ile the abodes of extin guished hope—forgotten instincts, grovelling, despairing, nay, almost idiotic wretchedness. I did not know there were such sights in the world. I did not know that men and womrn upright, and made in God's image, could live in styes like swine; with swine, sitti:rg, I3iag down, cooking and eating in such filth, as all grate animali, Lae the one unclean,' revolt and avoid. The ex traordinary pit f it, too, i; that is seems almost alto gether the result of choice. I scarce saw one hovel, the I loud Iluer of vhiet, was nut excavate l several iiiehes ' bel'ito the gr,ued 'level without ; and as these is no sill or raised threshold, there is no bar, I will not say to the weer, but to tl e liquid fi.th that oozes to its lower reser viithir. A few miles from Drogheda I pointed out ' to my compar ions a woman sitting in a hone; at work, with the muddy water up to her alleles, and an enormous hog scratching himself against her knee. These die gusting animals were everywhere walkirg in and out of the hovels at pleasure, jostling aside the half naked children, or wallowir g in the wash, outside or in; tI e best conditioned and most privileged inmates, indeed, of every habitation ; all this, of course, is matter of choice ; and so is the effal-heap situated in-almost every instance directly before the door, and draining its put id mass into the hollow under the peasant's table."

IRELAND. THE REGISTRATION BILL.—The entire country is up and doing all that hatred of Toryism and its measures can suggest to mark the sense of the people against Lord Stanley's Bill, while the true Reform Bill of Lord Morpeth daily enlists in its favour thousands assembled at public meetings to record their approval of its principles, KING'S COUNTY ELECTION.—The Tory candidate, Mr. Bernard, after a long secret canvass, has declared himself, and the Orange journals are appealing most beseechingly to the "out-voters"—th e fictitious Rent-Chargers and the absentee parsons—to come to the rescue. But, the people are prepared, and they defy the local Orange confederacy as well as their allies out of the county. The nomination took place to-day, but, probably, the polling did not commence, as it is not denied that the chief object of the contest, on the part of the faction, is to delay the return, in order to prevent Mr. Armstrong from voting for Lord Morpeth's, or against Lord Stanley's Bill.— Driblin Evening Post. FLIGHT OF AN ALDERMAN.—The sudden exit of an Alder man under circumstances which leave no doubt that those who confided in him, in pecuniary transactions, have severely suf fered, has been the town-talk for some days past. We should not, pending proceedings for a fiat of bankruptcy, have at all alluded to the matter, but that we have seen exaggerated state ments of the amount of the lasses sustained—one account re presenting it to be 100,000/. Our information leads us to be lieve than the " liabilities" are not one-fourth of that sum; but, certainly, considering that the defaulting party was not in any regular branch of commerce, even that would be enor mous. 't he principal sufferers a; e persons belonging to the party in the corporation, of which the Alderman has been so stirring and influential a member. The question whether the Alderman's case comes within the Bankruptcy Act—whether he comes under the designation of " buyer and seller," according to the terms of the law, is still undecided ; but the Court is hourly expected to pronounce its judgment.—Mercantile Ad vertiser. FRANC E. We have received the Paris papers of Sunday. In the Courrier Francais ae find the fulluwing important an nouncement : The disarmament has commenced ; Marshal Soult has made a communication to the Commission, the result of which is that the budget of 1842 is to be reduced 23,000,000 f. The Alinister announces that the effective film, such as it had been announced at first, will be reduced byltl,ooo men. He has not yet given any explanation with respect to this tardy reso lution. Marshal Soult must think that projects of law may be corrected like speeches fur the Moniteur. The communication of Marshal Soult seems to:have been received by the Commission with the greatest surprise, which the public will doubtless share. The Chamber rejected nn Saturday, by a majority of 178 against 160, M. Meran;liiod's motion against the Buenos Ayrean !Treaty. M. Thiirs and his friends all voted in the minority. The Moniteur Parisien publishes the following letters written by an officer on board the Neptune, dated Cagliari, the 2d of February:— "We left Toulon on the 21st of January. The sea was calm. The next day the weather changed, and a frightful wind blew from the north-east, which created great disorder in the Hugon division ; our mainmast broke, and the damages increased with the wind. In the evening we were all on deck, when a sudden blast knocked us all down ; and in this pell meg, in which legs were broken and arms put out of joint, the cauldron, in which the crew's soup was boiling, was overthrown, pouring its contents out upon the deck, and scalding all who had not had time or strength to get up. The wind continued increasing; a great quantity of sales were carried away ; the great yard-arm was broken into bits ; the mizen-mast cracked; an immense sea carried - away two of the boats and broke two others, cal r . t ing away at the same time fifty-six packets of grape shot and one of the guns. The weather continued in this state for six days. The vessel seas scarcely able to keep the sea; and we scudded under bare poles until we came to Cagliari, where we found the Jena and the Triton, both in worse condition than the Neptune." There is no additional news whatever is the French Journals tf Sunday. In the Chamber of Deputies on Saturday one of the Members signified hii intention of bringing fat-ward the proposition cf M.

Severa• of the gentlemen were on Saturday rowed ie a ;met to the vessel, and examined for themselves, so Volt every doubt might be teinoved as to the cause of destruc tion beiee external, and not from the springing of any mine. When the different parties had taken up their pc sitions, on a signal from the inventor, th, heat was set in motion, and struck just abaft her starboard bow, and in stantaneously scattered into a thousand f-igment'. At the moment of collision the water parted, and presented to 'he eye of our informant the appearance of a huge bowl, while upon its troubled surface he noticed the corruses lion precisely resembling forked lightnieg. A column of water was lifted up in the air nice a huge fountain, from which were projected upwards for many hundred feet the shattered fragments of the vessel, which fell many of them several hundred yards' ciatance in the adjacent fields. Our informant examined many pieces, and found the huge nails snapped like carrots; the mast looked like a tree riven by lightning, and never before, as he assures us, has he wit nessed so sudceu and complete a destruction, though he bar seen shell and rocket practice on the largest scale. Such seemed to be the unanimous opieion of all preaet.t. How Vie mighty effect was produced way, of counc, net disclosed to so numerous a party, but two Laval officers present v ere perfect! ) , aware of the mode of opera ion, and the inventor offered t go into detes confidentially with one or two of tire distil:- gui lied officers present. In answer to a question front Sir H. Hardingg, the invent Jr stated that without a battering train ho could transpor t or a mule's back the meals of de.. etroying the strongest futtre;s in Ei rope. No doubt this is vary at riling, but, hearing what we have, we cannot pronounce it impossible ; and as in every par ticular the inventor has done what be has undertaken to accompli,h, it is only fair to give him credit for the performance of more than has yet be en dis closed. The existence of these tremendous powers is placed beyond all doubt, and the inventor asserts them to be completely under his control, which, from what our informant has had an opportunity of ottscrvieg, he believes to be really the case. The instrument that wrought so terrible an effect on Saturday, lifting into the air a boat weighing two rind a half tons, and filled in with five and a half tons of solid timber, and placing at least four teen or fifteen tons of water, was °PI., la!b. weight. Our informant ha,' handled it and kiele e ;i it round a room when charged with its deadly euntentF, so portable and at the same tim e s o saf e i s i r _ s peint of vast import a ace, when we remernix:r the daily ccei:!ents that at e oceuring front the delonating sh e ll s now used in our service. At Acre Most of those em ployed burst before they reached their object, trod they arc liable to explode when rolling about a ship's deck, as eat proved by the fatal accidents on hoard her Majesty's ship Medea, off Alexandria, and the Excellent, at Portsmouth, and are dangerous to carry in a common ammunition cart on a rougio read. Whether Lord Mel bourne will condeecend to examine into this matter, and secure these migirty potters for this country, or permit them t 3 pass into the hands of our enemies, is more than we can venture to predict, but about which we cannot think England will remain indifferent. The inventor has requested us publicly to return his thanks to Mr. Boyd for his great kindness in permitting hint the use of his grounds not only on this but on several occasions.— Times.
