The Work which is now resented to the public is the result of very extended experience in a class of diseases and affec tn,i,s, which for some unaccountable reason have been either altogether overlooked, or treated with apathy, and almost in difftrenee, by the a dinary practitioner. lo enter into the details of these affections, to point out their causes, and to mark the terrific consequences, social, moral, and physical, which are sure to follow from indulgence, in certain habits, would be entirely out of place in an advertisement.

MR. PLUMER WARD'S NEW NOVEL. — Among the numerous portraits, evidently drawn from the life, which figure in the pages of Mr. Ward's new novel of " De Clifford" we meet with several that will un doubtedly subject the author to the charge (how justly or otherwise he aloce can say) of having satirized and casti gated not merely political crimes but the criminals them selves—a charge to which he may reply that he has at least made up for the severity by his likenesses of some of those 'statesmen of his own time, whom he seems especi ally to admire. Lord Castleton is a beautiful portrait of a politician and Prime Minister, comme it y'en a pea. Among the sketches of a mixed character that of the Mar quis of Rochfort is one of the most finished of all Mr. Ward's delineations. The original of this capital portrait will at once be recognised. Bet the sketches that will attract most general attervien and curiosity are those of the aristocratic ruffian, Lord Albany, the periodical critic, Sourkrout, the " liberal" editor of a weekly journal, Mr. Peter Paragraph, the popular lecturer and incendiary, Dr. Firebrass, .&c. The publisher should furnish (if be can) a key to tie numerous eharaetne in this highly enter taining production. The Proprietors of Fulham-bridge are at length about to follow up the improvements in the navigation of the river commenced by the City with the removal of the Old Lendon-bridge. The demands of the public for the removal of these dangerous obstructions to the free n gation of the noble river of Thames will be met in the spirit that has already accomplished the rebuilding of Lon don -bridge. A plan gas, we understand, been prepared under the direcien of the Bridge Proprietors, giving two additional arches each cf forty-feet span. The plan has already been submitted to and approved by the City Com mittee, who intend to make a further improvement by dredging away the shoals near the bridge. The work is to be immediately commenced, and one arch will be com pleted during the present summer.

The Ptiseyites, after a desperate struggle, have re ceived a check, and are brought to a stand. No. 90, as we predicted, has become, " a pillar of salt," and has sealed the fate of the " Tracts for the Times." But whoever thinks that the Puseyites will give up their mad attempt to revolutionise the Church of England will find him-elf wofully mis taken. The declaration of Dr. Hook is alone decisive of this point. He says he will nail his colours to the mast, .and sink or swim in this sloop of war this Poseyite catamaran. Convinced of this fact, we shall not relax in our endeavours to expose the tricks and artifices of this most dangerous anti-Protestant party whose object it now is to represent themselves as persecuted on account of their High-Church opinion, and thus, if possible, to produce a fatal schism amongst the Bishops. " The mystery of Puseyism" is so much akin to " The mystery of Jesuitism," that the wit and argument of " The Provincial Letters" may, with verylittle variation,be equally applied to both. The doctrine of open questions,' as explained by Mr. Newman in his defence of No. 90, is, in fact, nothing but what Pascal terms that viper of all morality—the doctrine of probable opinions.' According to the aphorism of Emanuel Sa, the cele brated Jesuitical casuist, " a man may do what he con ce:ves lawful, according to probable opinions, though the con trary be more safe. For this the opinion of one grave doctor is sufficient."—Pascal, Lett. 5. Now, this is exactly the line of argument which Mr. Newman pursues in respect to what he terms " open questions." Dr. Lloyd, the late Bishop of Ox ford, it seems, wrote a review in the E>ritish Critic, in 1825, in ehich " he thinks the Roman Catholics are not what they once were"—" that they themselves see, with sorrow, the dis graceful tenets and principles that were professed and carried into practice by their forefathers." He then proceeds to say, " that in the public formularies of their church there is no thing of idolatry," &c.'; and because Bishop Lloyd held these strange opinions, Mr. Newman would have them placed in the category of "open questions"—that is, opinions which the members of the Church of England may, or may, not receive, in spite of all the Articles and Homilies may say to the con trary. (From the Globe.) It will be perceived that within a month after the date of the last intelligence from China, the " unsatis factory" tenor of which called forth animadversions on the British Government and on those it had commissioned to act in its name, with, or against, the Chinese Government, the negotiations Were brought to a close ; an island appropriited as the future resi dence ofthe British, and the scat of our commerce with the empire ; an indemnity of six millions of dollars for the losses sustained by British subjects by the confisca tion of their property by the Chinese authorities ; and, what is of supreme importance to our future com merce with China, the absence of which was a con stantly recurring source of interruption and annoyance, the commercial intercourse between the two countries will be superintended by ministers responsible to their respective governments, and officially recognised as their representatives. To have effected this important arrange ment will prove an advantage to the commerce of this country which may well compensate the amount of loss sustained by the temporary cessation of our trade with China by the now terminated dispute, or the ex pense of the expedition by the presence of which it has been procured. The substitution of Hong Kong for Can ton, as the mart of commerce between the two countries, will also greatly increase the facilities of trade, and re duce the expense at which it has been carried on. Of all the other ports of the empire, Canton was the worst adapted for the purposes of our trading intercourse with the Chinese, for the simple reason, that the staple articles of export, tea and silk, are brought from the northern pro vinces at a heavy expense, while the equally heavy charges of conveying our woollens to the north, form an insuper able barrier to any great increase in their consumption. A new and brighter era is about to commence in the history of China. (From the Standard.) The Reform Bill has not put down election bribery, that is certain ; would it were not certain, also, that the Re form Bill has greatly extended the practice of corruption. Yet ten years ago we were told very confidently, that after the passing of the Reform Bill elections could be no longer venal. Pretty generally the same parties who amused us with the delusive hope of the purifying influence of reform, are now hawking their second nostrum " the ballot," just as confidently as if the first quack article had' not proved an utter failure. But the ballot, as every re flecting man knows, would only increase the facility for purchasing votes, by shrouding the transactions in sg crecy. The truth is, that the rule of the Greek proverb strictly applies here- 4 . You can never make your house so fast that a cat or a corrupter shall be unable to find admittance." If we would exclude the practice of bribery, it is not by shutting doors, and at the same time abutting our eyes upon the interloper and his purse. Our only hope of success is in opertring 1 upon his fears and the fears of his hirelings. We must watch them vigilantly, and, having detected them, punish both without pity. If the pillory were revived for their benefit, it would be a salutary display to exhibit the bribing Peer, his bribing agent, and the bribed electors, all in the same neck-yoke. The punishment of this crime ought to be in policy an infamous punishment —for pecuniary penalties, and even imprisonment, have few terrors for very rich men ; and in justice the punishment of an offence which involves fraud and deprivation of morals, and subornation of perjury, ought not to be less than infamous, while simple swind ling is punished with infamy. Let the people be taught to associate political corruption with infamous crimes, and it will become as unfroquent and as unpopular as crimes doomed to an ignominious punishme at now are, instead of being the subject sometimes of boasting and praise, rarely of anything harsher than light raillery. (From the Courier.) The important intelligence from China will be perused with the deepest interest and, would we could add, with unmixed gratification. But, assuming the premises to be correctly set forth in the statement transmitted by the French Consul at Malta, and telegraphed from Mar seilles to Paris, we are painfully compelled to the con clusion, that in the negotiation of this treaty with China Mr. Superintendent Elliot has fallen into the same in consistencies and inconsequences which have so justly been urged against him during the whole course of his official connection with Chinese affairs, which ought long since to have insured his discharge from further concern with them, and so would, in the case of any other person less immediately mixed up by the acci dent of birth with that extraordinary family which, despite the absence of all such qualifications of per sonal merit, long service, or even of large baronial pos sessions and ancient standing, which each separately or together constitute a general title to consideration, has risen to so much distinction, and monopolised so many of the first or most lucrative ot'Uces in the State in these latter years. As it is the peculiar good fortune of Cap tain Elliot to be an offshoot of the Minto house, so, under favour of the protection thus insured, he has been left free to pursue the bent of his own wayward fancies, safe to be absolved hereafter from all consequences as so liberally before. With all this conscious se curity of impunity, it is difficult to conceive how the Super intendent could venture, with all the game in his own hands, thanks to the energetic demonstrations of Commo dore Sir Gordon Bremer, to conclude any arrangement upon the basis of an indemnity, which cuts down at one ' stroke of the pen the claims of British merchants by more than one half of their usually accepted and stated amount. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. TIMES.—A great sensation was occasioned in the City to-day at the absence from their house of business of Mr. F. Wakefield and his son, who carry on business as bankers and stockbrokers, under the firm of "T. Wakefield and Co." The house is one of the oldest in the list of London bankers, although it has been lately but little known in that capacity. Their absence has given rise to various rumours, one of which is that their deficiencies amount to about 70,0001. Mr. Wakefield was the treasurer of the managers of the Stock- Exchange, and the committee of managers sat to-clay to in quire into the state of their affairs in connexion w►th him, when an inspection of their cash-box showed they had sus tained no loss. It should be distinctly understood that the committee of managers manage the property of the Stock- Exchange, while the general committee manage the business. It is necessary to make this remark, because a rumour has gone abroad that the general committee sat on the affair, which is not the case, nor would it be a matter for their deli beration. The English Stocks have not been firm to-day, and it is thought a rather increased demand for money at yesterday's rates has principally acted upon the market. CHRONICLE.—The Market for British Securities has been flat to-day, although unattended by any alteration in price. There has been considerable excitement on the Stock Exchange, in consequence of the disappearance of an old mem ber of the house, who acted as treasurer of the decayed fund, and also as manager of the house revenues. The party in business ,as in a ß p r r n i a v d a - t e s tr b e a e n t k . er, but i q n u 7 t ve i e o hr n ya was s ba e a l le l s mn o , a e i g f oa a ir gi d egd i w n thbhau hi n ts he Committee on Banks of Issue have determined en examining two witnesses only from Scotland, to give evidence on the system of banking and the Church both of England and Scot icnutrerreensetsy tht s a cnt q lan uar d ter are of t s h oe itkingdom.into tw T se he banking etinns,we e hear, like Scot land. They are at present suffering from internal divisions and schism, one party being in favour of the high note, the other for a low note system. Under this state of things, we hope the Commit tee will deal impartially with both parties ; and if they have resolved to adduce two witnesses only, that they will select owe from each, so as to give the people of Scotland the benefit of a full and impartial inquiry. The investigation, to be satis , factory, must not be liable to the imputation of being " one sided." In a matter of such vital importance to the future well-being of the entire community, the Committee are bound to elicit the truth, and this, perhaps, they cannot accomplish in a question attended with so much intricacy and diversity of opinion, without giving the views of the most experienced men on both sides. But the Committee have confined themselves, we understand, to the examination of two witnesses generally for each separate class of professional interests involved in the inquiry ; and if this be the case, the Scotch bankers cannot complain if they should be restricted to the same number, pro vided the gentlemen selected shall be acknowledged as their fair and full representatives. When parties differ among them selves, however, it is always difficult to get them to agree in the choice of delegates, and the Committee may have found it necessary in this instance to make their own selection. POST.—The leading subject of conversation among men of business of all classes was another of those distressing cases of suspension of payment which have become so frequent of late. It was ascertained at - an early hour of the day that Messrs. Wakefield and Son, of Broad-street, who have for many years past been in the enjoyment of a high degree of po pularity as stockbiokers and private bankers, and whose credit L yemined unimpaired up to the close of the Stock Exchange yesterday, had disappeared;* parties calling at their office for the purpose of receiving moneys being referred to their solicitors. The elder Mr. Wakefield was treasurer of the Decayed Members' Fund, formerly chairman of the General Committee of the Stock Exchange, and, we be lieve, still an influential member of the body. The firm were in the confidence of the Equitable Life Assurance Com pany for whom they acted as brokers. Their connection with that eminent institution was alone sufficient to give them a superior standing in the line of business in which they were engaged, so that they were freely trusted with the custody of negotiable securities of all descriptions, the safety of which, whatever amount was in their hands, is not, we hope, to be doubted. The habits of Messrs. Wakefield have been so uniformly quiet and business-like as to forbid the suspicion of an improper use having been made of any property of the sort. The claims upon the house, on Stock Exchange ac count, are said not to be' large, the more considerable propor tion being distributed among its private connections. Several of the personal friends of the parties will, it is feared, be, as is too often the case on the occasion of failures, severely in jured. It is rumoured that Messrs. Wakefield obtained yesterday, in common wr•ith other bankers, a large amount of dividend warrants from the Bank of Eng land. There has not yet been time to procure payment of such warrants, but it is taken for granted that no difficulty would have been found in getting advances of cash upon them. Messrs. Wakefield were, we hear, in the position of guarantees for an official assignee of the Court of Bankruptcy. The dis closures made the other day in the case of Mr. Abbott may possibly have led to a more rigorous observance on the part of the Commissioners of the regulations appertaining to this re sponsible class of men, and, assuming that the individual gua ranteed has placed sums tf money to some extent belonging to the creditors in whose behalf he has been employed in their hands, the embarrassments of Messrs. Wakefield may have been brought on in a great measure by the necessity which has existed for the withdrawal of the same at a short notice. By an Order in Council inserted in last night's Gazette it is declared, in pursuance of certain Acts of Parliament passed in the third and fourth years of the reign of her present Majesty. that the ships of all such foreign Powers as have treaties of reciprocity with this country, and the cargoes imported or exported therein, shall be admitted on payment of like rates of duties arid toils with those charged on British vessels and their cargoes. This order is one of very considerable importance to the mercantile and shipping classes, and of some interest to the public generally. It is thought extraordinary, therefore, that when the intention of Government was formally made known on the subject through the columns of the Gazette, the foreign Powers having treaties of reciprocity with us, and which are to participate in the change, could not have been enumerated. It is not to be supposed that every merchant carries in his memory a precise knowledge of all the commercial treaties and arrange ments entered into between his own and other States. The niggardliness of our officials in their mode of putting informa tion of this nature before the public, although they must neces sarily have tho requisite materials at their fmgers' ends, has frequently been pointed out to us in terms of well-merited disgust. lIERALD.—An extraordinary degree of excitement was occasioned on the Stock Exchange, as well as in the City ge nerally, by the non-appearance at the usual hours of business this morning, and subsequent announcement of the failure, of Messrs, Wakefield and Son, the very old established Stockbrokers, carrying on a banking business as well in New Broad-street. This event caused very considerable surprise, and does not appear to have been in the least anticipated in any quarter down to the last moment. The firm Was one of long standing, of high respectability on the Stock Exchange, and of credit unquestioned. Its con nections were also of first-rate importance and value, as may be estimated by the single fact that, among others of note, the house acted as brokers for all the ♦ast stock transactions of the Equitable Assurance Company, the well-known wealthiest corporation in the world. What may be the amount involved in this unfortunate insolvency cannot, of course, be yet known with any sort of certainty ; some reports carry it as high as 120,0001., but it is believed, in quarters more likely to be cor rectly informed, not to exceed 60,0001. Neither the proxi mate or more remote causes .of the stoppage can be even guessed at, for, singular to state, it is understood that they transacted bona fide stock-brokering business for prin. cipals only, that they were not in the habit of jobbing or speculating on their own account, and have actu ally no account of the sort open now, so that as far as the Stock Exchange is in question on that head it is sup posed they cannot be declared to be defaulters in the usual way, that is, posted on the black board. It is understood how ever, that they were concerned in various trusts in their bank ing business, as well as for the Stock Exchange, where the elder partner of the firm was treasurer of the fund for the relief of decayed members. There are various reports in cir culation in respect of large losses incurred under the head of these trusts, which it is not necessary to advert to, as after all they may be cleared up, and the trust moneys lying probably in deposit with the bankers, with whom, distinct from their own banking concern, they kept a private account for their stock business. The answer at their office to all inquiries of parties interested, was a reference to their solicitors. Alto gether it is very rarely that any event of the kind has produced o painful an impression as this failure. IRELAND. DUBLIN, APRIL 6. EXTRAORDINARY TRIAL FOR FORGERY. A case came on in the Commission Court this day before Judges Peirin and Crampton, which has created considerable interest among the banking and mercantile classes in this city. The facts of the case are briefly these :—Mr. John Cluff, of the firm of William and John Chaff, extensive mer chants in the Manchester trade, William Cluff having also an establishment in Manchester, was charged with having fe loniously uttered a Bill of Exchange, drawn at three months, for 272/. 165.,. bearing date the 3d of February, 1841, and purporting to be the draught of Andrew Thompson. Tke bill was sent in with some others to the Bank of Ireland on the 11th of February, and discounted. It was, however, sub sequently discovered to he a forgery. At the trial this morning, Andrew Thompson, the fictitious acceptor of the bill, proved the signature as endorsed not to he in his handwriting, and further swore that he had not au thorized any person to sign it. Mr. O'CONNELL, who appeared for the accused, found a flaw in the indictment, which, after setting out the forged acceptance, has these words,—" which said acceptance is as follows" (the bill was then described and signed)—" Andrew Thompson," whereas, on the bill it was Andr. Thompson." Counsel for the prosecution submitted that it was a case which might be amended by the Court, under a late Act. On reference to the Act, the SOLICITOR-GENERAL said he was bound to acknowledge it only applied to civil, and net to criminal cases. Mr. Justice PERRIN directed the issue to be sent up to the Jury, who at once acquitted the prisoner, and he was discharged from custody. 'The Commission adjourned to the 14th of June. The Court was densely crowded. DUBLIN SOCIETY.—The f ollowing official letter has been addressed to the Commissioners by Mr. Norman Macdonald, Under-Secretary : " Dublin Castle, March 29, 1841. " My Lords and Gentlemen,—From your known zeal for the advancement of science and the diffusion of useful know ledge, the Lord Lieutenant is desirous of obtaining your advice, in what form and under what regulations the Parliamentary grant of 5,3001., hitherto voted to the Dublin Society, might be most effectually devoted to the above object for the benefit of the Irish nation, as, in consequence of the refusal of the Dublin Society to make, at the instance of Government, cer tain changes in its constitution and management, which were strongly recommended by Parliamentary Committees, his Ex cellency has felt it his duty to intimate to that Society his in tention of declining to propose to Parliament a continuance of their grant. " The chief points to which his Excellency wishes to direct your attention are, whether it would be desirable to form an entirely new institution, either separate from or in connexion with any or with all these societies now established in Dublin for the promotion of science and the useful arts, or to assist them severally in their present forms. "- It will be also for you to consider and advise 'upon the par ticular organization by which scientific institutions would seem best fitted, in your opinion, to attain these objects, and which ought, therefore, to be required by Parliament as the condition upon which they should receive support from the State. " His Excellency will direct that you shall be furnished with the Report of the Committee of the House of Commons, in that on n upon tihrei Irish m aEnsatLat tof Dublinaa and t he evidenceSociety,as takenell as before them, which will afford you m uch valuable information eme e n s, in on the points above referred to.—l have, &c " N. H. MACDONALD." " To his Grace the Duke of Leinster, the Earl of Rosse, the Viscount Adare, Sir John Burgoyne, Sir William Hamil ton, Captain Larcom, Professor Lloyd, Professor M'Cul- lac'h." One of our Contemporaries, in remarking upon the appoint ment of this Commission last week, entirely mistook its ob ject, inasmuch as he imagined that the duty assigned to the Commissioners was to "settle the differences between the Go vernment and the Society." The preceding letter shows that nothing of the kind is contemplated. The " differences" arose out of the refusal of the Society to make changes recom mended by the Parliamentary Committees, and those " differ ences" have been terminated by the withdrawal of the grant, —Dublin Evening Post. MELANCHOLY SUICIDE.-At a late hour on Tuesday evening an inquisition was taken before Mr. Wakley, M.P., and a Jury of gentlemen resident in Burton -crescent, at the residence of W. Rolls, Esq., No. 19, Mabeldon-place, New-road, on view of the body of Lieutenant-Colonel Thos. 1 Dorville, aged 66, late of the Grenadier Guards, who com mitted self-destruction under the truly melancholy circumstan ces below detailed: —Jane Gray stated that she was a servant in the family of Mr. Rolls, and knew the deceased, who was a relation of her master, and who was staying with his family upon a visit. He had enjoyed good health and spirits until the last few days, when he became very dejected and melancholy. Indeed he had become so much so that Mr. Rolls deemed it advisable that she and a fellow servant named Goodie, should sit up with deceased in his bed-room alternate nights. On Monday night last it was witness's turn to sit up with him, and she did so. Deceased slept very well during the night. About five o'clock on that (Tuesday) rr orning, she was sitting close at the foot of his bed, when the deceased suddenly sprang up and jumped out of it, exclaiming " murder, murder !" several times, apparently in great fright. Before witness could recover herself from w h an e h r dic m hb alarm, the deceased rushed towards the window, which is very mignienette box stationed on the sill of the window.

At two o'clock the Chair was taken by Hum-as Huotins, Esq., late M. P. for Oxford, who said that he regretted Bogie person of higher rank and station was not called upon CD preside. He was, however, most willing ta undertake that duty, and to bear his testimony of respect and admi ration to the conduct of the gentlemen in whose favour the testimonial was subscribed. It was true the interest had in some degree subsided, by reason of an Act of Parliament having since been introduced on the subject on which their claim to notice and respect arose. But so tar from that detracting from the merit that succeeding tiE es would attach to them for the patriotic andnational manner in which they had upheld the just privileges of the subject and the laws of the country, that estimation would only be enhanced by the circumstance that the Legislature thought it its duty to guard against the recurrence of such a state of things as led to the difficulty in which the Sheriffs ware pLeed, and in which they had shown so much integrity and upright ness of purpose.--( Hear, hear.) He should now call upon the treasurer to read a statement of the receipts and expenditure. The Treasurer then read a statement of the accounts, from which it appeared that a sum of 3201. 15s. had been received, and 55/. 6s. was yet to be collected, making a total of 3761. Is. A sum of 651. ss. had been expended in advertisements, printing, and other incidental expenses, and the balance, which would be available for the purposes of the testimonial would be about three hundred guineas. He understood that Mr. Sheriff Evans, who had been consulted along with his colleague upon the matter, had expressed a wish that the articles presented to him should be a silver salver and two ice vases, and Mr. Sheriff Wheelton wiliedi that his should be a candelabrum to correspond with that which had been lately presented him by the Corporation. Mr. WIRE said, of course it should be the object of the subscribers to have the money expended in the way which would be most pleasing to the Sheriffs, but he wished to know, now that the articles to be presented were rgresd upon, whether the Committee was at liberty to go and order these articles when they thought proper. The CHAIRMAN said, perhaps he should have given some explanation of what had previ iusly taken pLce. The presentation of the plate hart beau so long delayed, that the Committee thought they might take a step in advance, and atter conferring with the Sheriti,, 1E %Nes sug gested that the Sheriffs should each order the articles they had selected from their own goldsrritht, and not to exceed 150 guine is in value—whatever deficiency there might be in the suoscriptions to be made up by the She riffs themselves. Now whether the Managing Committee had exceeded their powers in so doing it was for the meeting to determine. After some further discussion it was proposed by Mr WIRE that the four Treasurers, the Chairman, and the Rev. Mr. Jennings, Prebendary of Westminster, be ap pointed a Committee for the ordering and arra-gement of the plate.—The motion was unanimously adopted. Mr. Valuta then moved that the following be the in scription on the plate—" This silver salver and two ice vases (or candelabrum), was presented to William Evans, Esq. (or John Wheelton, Eaq.), at the expiration of his year of °Esc, as one of the Sheriffs of London and joint Sheriff of Middlesex, in testimony of the high approbation of the subscribers of the conduct of himself and his colleague, in preferring to eadure a painful and protracted imprisonment, rather than submit to the unde fined and arbitrary privilege assumed by the House of Commons, whereby they were required to violate their oath of office, anti disobey the Queen's writ, which they bad sworn to observe, and to perpetuate the high sense of the respect and admiration entertained by the subscribers of the firmness and dignity displayed by the sheriffs during their imprison merit, in vindication of the majesty of the law and the just liberty of the subject." It was unnecessary for him to say one word upon a subject weich had been so frequently dis cussed, but it should be borne in mind that, notwithstaisding the boastirgs of the House of Commons, and all their turnings and shifts, they were compelled to submit to the judgment of a Court of Law ; and all who venerated their institutions and their liberty, should be ready to come forward and acknowledge their obligations to the Sheriffs, who had so firmly resiAed the arbitrary encroachments of power. Mr. TAYLOR sec,nded the motion. He would remind the meeting that only one part of the grie , .ances had yit been redressei, for the House of Commons could still de clare anything a privilege which it pleased. The same arbi trary power had recently extended itself to the army and Ec clesiastical Court and the Court of Session in Scotland, and it was their duty to do all they could toresist it. Curiously enough a nearly similar case had recently occurred in New. foundland, and the House of Commons, which had to da ringly attempted to set itself above all law, had brought for ward aa an argument for destroying the legislative laody of Newfoundland, that it had taken upon itself to supersede the law of the land by imprisoning a Sheriff and one of the Judges of that Culonv.—( Hear, hear.) The motion was carried unanimously. After some discussion as to the time when the plate should be presented, it was agreed that the Committee shculd be entrusted with the arrangements on that point also. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the meeting ieparateJ. THE STEAM-SHIP PRESIDENT. Liverpool, Weinesclay Morning, Ten o'Clock. We are still without any news of this steam- ship.

E., light. —The Isabella, Blyth, having repaired the damage she received in coming in contact with a French ship, took on board the mails, and sailed at three r. at. this day: 12 of her crew Were taken out on Alonday, they having refused to proceed in her, in consequence of her being worked by steam; in Court Jack did not complain of the pro visions, nor the treatment, but he did not like steamers ; did not know the Isabella was a steamer when he signed articles, or he'd never have crossed the paper ; did not like the smoke, nor the funnel, but more particularly the paddles ; could not sleep for them ; if they were not always going he thought they were ; they were always in his head, sleeping and waking, and besides he would not carry cinders about for nobody. The Court—Then you must be committed for 30 days. Did not care for that, anything was better than a steamer ; and to prison the whole went. OUT OF THE FRYING-PAN INTO THE FIRE.—The first day's work at the treadmill convinced eight out of the twelve they were wrong, and one of them exclaimeil "My eyes, mess mates, this will never do; we are out of luck, and we had better cut, and join the ship; 1 understands a little about a wheel afloat, but bread and water, and working this thing won't do for me ; I don't like this going on and not getting a head." some were for trying it another day, but the dread of the ship's sailing without them induced eight to solicit to be put on board again which was done, and they were not a little pleased at the change, and will not again in a hurry let their idle prejudices introduce them to the treadmill. ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON INTELLIGENCE. The Secretary has sold Mr. Edward Heneage's cutter yacht Sparrovthawk, of 84 tons, to Thos, Hallifax, Esq. ; and Lord H. Cholmondeley's cutter yacht, Zephyr, of 56 tons, to A. E. Bowen, Esq., of Dublin. The next General Meeting of the Members of the Royal Yacht Squadron will be held at the Thatched House Tavern, on Saturday the Bth of May. This season is to all appearance the finest the farmers in the Isle of Wight have had for many years. There is more grass in their meadows than there was in Max list year, and the seed grass is still forwarder. They have had excellent weather to get in their oats, beans, and peas, and they hare come up quicker and more regular than common. A conti nuance of the present fine dry weather will bring on the wheat, and forward barley sowing, which will become general next week. The Lambs are particularly fine and forward; 150 were for warded by rail on Saturday, and 300 this day for London.lvestCowes, DIED.--On April 7th, at Mill Hill House, Mary Elizabeth, daughter of the Rev.
