T IE LATE SVIIP - WRE - C - K AN]) MASSACRE IN ENCOUNTER BAY. The Sydney Gazette of October 10th publishes the t ePorts of Major O'Halloran, Commissioner of Police, aPrOintei by his Excellency the Governor to investt tits into the lite atrocious massacre at Encounter-bay. Major O'Halloran and his party spent fleetly three tfc b eits in scouring the country of the murderers, the Big Murray Tribe." He ascertained that the tnur dors I I committed were seventeen in all, men and women, „ e ,, ° °ging to the brigantine Maria - , and a whaling yes , -l: Great numbers of European artiel•s, with blood sno b , on them, were discovered in the native huts. The following is an extract of the most interesting part tit tho report. On Sunday morning, the 22d instant, we again F ast ad off a t an early hour, the wind being fresh and CthIII for th e boats.

In the Peers petitions were presented for the liberation of Mr. BAINES and against the grant to Maynooth, and that the depositions in Lord CARDIGAN'S trial might be returned into the Central Criminal Court, where Captain DOUGLAS is to be tried, and where certainly there can now be no difficulty in identifying the person who was wounded. The Earl of RIPON very properly wished for some information as to the colony of South Aus tralia, and the-. Marquis of INT ORMAINWC intimated that it should be supplied. Their Lordships ad journed. • Mr. ARMSTRONG took his seat in the Com mons for King's County. A great number of petitions were presented against Lord STANLEY'S Bill, against the Poor law, for Church Extension, &c. In answer to Sir E. KNATCHBULL, Lord Jonx RUSSELL said he did not mean to carry forward the Poor-law Continuance Bill on Monday, but - he would on Friday state when he would proceed with it. _ _ In answer to Sir J. GRAHAM, Lord JOHN said that Lieutenant M'Cormick had been granted a pension for wounds received at the capture of the Caroline, he acting under the orders of the Colo nial authorities. Lord .lonzr RUSSELL then stated that, looking to the general business of the House, and the want of further information as to the valuations in Ireland, he should postpone the Committee on the Parliamentary Voters Bill for Ireland till -April 23d. This announcement made Lord STANLEY im mediately express great surprise, and utter not a few reproaches at the Government having brought forward their measure without possessing more information. He gave notice that he should in Committee oppose the enfranchising clauses, he being all for disfranchisement. The Noble Lord postponed his own Bill till the 24th of March, and is then to state what heis to do with it. Poor Lord STANLEY, " poor Tories," they have caught up a piece of hot iron; they would drop it but they cannot. We liope, however, that this registration trash, which is wholly unim portant, unless there was a chance of carrying the enfranchising clauses, which there is not, will be laid aside, and that the Parliament will ad dress itself skilfully and diligently to those great commercial questions to which the towns are be ginning to call its attention. Mr. HuME's motion for papers relating to Syria was agreed to. Mr. GOULBURN made some statement about the Post-office, which was not satisfactory ; but which we say nothing of, as the 'CHANCEL LOR of the_ EXCHEQUER'S explanation was not audible. The House, after a few observations from Mr. HUME about the deficiency of the revenue, went into a Committee of Supply, in which. Mr. MORE O'FERRALL moved the Navy Esti mates. A considerable discussion ensued on two votes to make good the excess of ex penditure over the votes of last year, which involved the policy 'of the Government, but ultimately the vote was - agreed to after a division promoted by Mr. ilumE, and an under standing that a special Act of Parliament should be introduced to settle the matter. A considerable number of the ordinary esti mate's were voted, some returns were ordered, and the House adjourned at. Quarter before Twelve o'Clock. We are obliged to infer, froni the language of the Tory journals, that the Tories are the most sensitive, feeling, and kindly mortals into whom the breath of life was ever breathed. STERNE'S " Maria" was not half so affectionate and tender as the Tory journalists, nursing, dandling, and helping forward the lamed cause of Toryism. Sir THOMAS TROUBRIDGR, for example, did but quit his house at the Admiralty to go down to the House of Commons on Thursday night, while his daughter was yet, we believe, unburied, and, according to the Tories, he " committedan outrage on all the decencies of life." The dead was only left for a short period, and although the Scriptures, whieli the Tories at times quite adore, tell us to let the dead take care ,of the - dead, and though the SAVIOUR emphatically warned men to be diligent while it was yet day; and leave other work and follOw him, yet the Tory journals exclaim against such " degrading and brutalizing conduct." it is said to be " a violation of the so cial and domestic affections, and a disregard of all the decencies of ordinary life." They bless themselves that they are not like these publicans the Whigs, and do all they can—all they ought—, to " stem the -contagion of hard and savage fe rocity in a sphere of life where civilization and hunianitY - should be most conspicuous." How exquisitely tender and susceptible, how regardful even of the . departed, who can feel no more ! Surely' the Tories must be paragons ofhumanity. We wish they felt as much for the living. But while they moan and whine over a trifling depar ture—if departure it be--4roin the ordinary forms ; - TEE Sty'N, LONDON, TlTE§rii:Yl MARCH 2, 1841. of life, they are ready to stiike-A whole nation with pain and anguish. They are, in fact, forging chains for the Catholic Irish, exciting animosity throughout one4hird of the empire, and seeking to vex, harass, and disfranchise a great multitude, by meni us of a law—such a law as the TorLs can always dress up in the garb of religion and mora lity, to stab liberty to the heart; and Sir THOMAS TROUBRIDGE left his house to arrest their arm. He fulfilled the. precepts of the Scrip ture, and laid aside his own dometic griefs to do a good deed while it was yet day. A good cause, a noble cause, had need of him, and he followed it. Honour, say we, to Sir THOMAS TROUBRIDGE, that he did not allow his own private grief to make hini neglect a great public duty. But he contributed to defeat the Tories, and their po litical disappointment, assuming immediately the mask of domestic affection, ranted and raved, and whined and moaned, in the very excess of sentimentality. Such transparent hypocrisy is shockingly disgusting. Why, the stern doctrine of the Tories is, that all human affections, that all the kind and tender feelings, all the noble and endearing sentiments which are native to the human heart, must be 'trampled under foot to give effect to their political theories and secure their power. Affection, kindness, re gard to human feelings in the Tortes!: Pshaw ! What has their whole conduct towards Ireland been but one continued torture, of which their resistance to the Irish Parliamentary Voters Bill was a part? Regard for human feelings! We turn disgusted from the barefaced hypocrisy, for we remember that they justified the mur der of a °widow's son for the sake of a few shillings of tithes. Nay, we remember that for some similar paltry extortions they long deluged Ireland with blood, and impiously asserted that it was done in the name of the God of Love and Peace. • We remember, too —we cannot forget for an hour—that these hypocrites are at this mo ment shutting out the people of England from the food of Poland and America, entailing al most endless misery on a great multitude of the most ingenious and industrious people that ever lived, and annually, but slowly, starving many thousands to death. It is a gross mockery of the great sufferings which the Tories inflict, and have inflicieli on the living people, for them to prate, .with affected sensibility, about a gentle man leaving the dead for a few hours, to save, by his vote, the living from farther oppression. • We can illustrate the hypocrisy of the Tories by the long debates on the Irish Bill, which, though mainly turning on personalities or trifles, are not in this sense uninstruc tive. To speak a speech, like writing a book, lays a man open to his enemies; and the Tory leaders did not talk for so many hours without allowing an observer to see more of their minds than they ought prudently to disclose. For example, the main objection which Mr. THESIGER, Mr. SHAW, Sir R. PEEL, Lord STANLEY, Sir J. GRAHAM, and the rest of the Tories made to Lord MORPETH'S proposed franchise was, that it would enable the landowners, who constitute the aristo cracy, to create spurious voters. It was not said that the people•were dishonest or corrupt, but merely that they were poor, and that the land owners, like pirates, would be on the watch for political plunder, and would pervert'the franchise to obtain it. That was the character which the Tories gave of the Irish landlords, and which they. proved by many facts in past times that these landlords richly deserved. They did pervert the 40s. franchise—they did degrade and corrupt the people:—and therefore, said all the Tories, the landlords will do so again; the landlords are such roves we cannot trust them, and the people shall. not have the franchise." A further apprehension was indeed expressed by the Tories, of another class of men whom, when it suits their purpose, they seek to invest with much reverence. Some dread was expressed of the influence of the priests, who belong to the governing body, or to the aristocracy, more than to the people. They, it was hinted, would use their spiritual power for political purposes, and can e unpleasantness and heart-burnings between the landowner and the vassal on whom he had coliferred the privilege of registering a vote for his nominee. Such was the character given by the Tories in the House of Commons of those landlords for whom they seek politica/ power, and that order of men for whom they claim spi ritual reverence. Now we beg our readers will observe that the statement of the Tories implies no fault in the people. rt does not say they are corrupt or dis honest, The Tories do not deny them the fran chise on account of their own demerits. No. The Tories tell us that the people are to be disfran chised because the aristocracy are dishonest, and because the priesthood are political impostors. Was there ever such a monstrous, such a barefaced. proceeding ? The Tories are 'describing - their • owff - friench—they are de scribing-their own party—they are describing themselves—they are describing one another— they are filled' with suspicion—they make the foulest ace usation--they admit that they are political rogues, and because they are political rogues they insist that the people ought to be slaves. We say that this is a most memorable lesson: It was taught by the great debate of last week. The Tory aristocracy . deny -the - people political rights because they themselves are poli tical rogues. Sir 3. GRAHAM wound up his long speech by a sneer at a " turbulent democracy ;" let us conclude our article by asserting that a turbulent democracy is by far more honourable than a knavish, hypocritical aristocracy. We are happy to, direct public attention to the following extract from the Liverpool Albion, and to repeat the hope that the same course will be followed throughout the principal sea-ports and manufacturing towns of the kingdom. What is London doing, we must again ask ? Is it landlord. and Tory ridden ? Is it- become a pocket borough of the aristocracy, that it has no voice in the most important commercial question that ever was a g itated in this or any other country ? . The Mayor in compliance with a requisition most re spectably signed, has convened a public meeting for Monday next, the 6th inst., "to take into consideration the restric tions and prohibitions of our commercial code, and to de termine upon all proper measures for obtaining such alterations therein as may appear expedient." The same course will, no doubt, be followed by the principal sea-ports and manufacturing towns of the kingdom. Their united appeal to Parliament and the Government for the removal of restrictions and pro hibit ions cannot but prevail, and bring 'about a complete reform in our commercial code. It is worthy of notice that at the public dinner yesterday given to Mr„VINCENT, that gentleman strongly recommended the working classes to attend to their domestic duties, forsake the gin palace, and prove to the aristocracy that they were worthy to exercise the power they claim. Thisis Occellent advice; but much we fear that the_mOre worthy the working classes are found the. more strenuously the Tory aristocracy will denY them their rights. The Tory aristocracy are the patrons of that vice, which they can easily bribe. The attention of our readers is especially directed to an excellent letter on the Danish claims, addressed, by one of the sufferers, to the Editor of the Morning Chronicle, which will be found in another part of The Sun. We trust that on Thursday next Parliament will satisfy the re maining class of claimants, that it was not to buoy them up with false hopesthat it was not to raise the cup of enjoyment to their lips only to dash it untasted upon. the ground—that it was not to make their lOSses and wrongs an instru ment for reflecting discredit upon the plighted promises of the House of Commons, that it thrice voted their claims to be deserving of the examination. of the Legislature. That respect which is due to the sanctity of its own votes, must prevent the House of Commons from performing a part which would reflect discredit on the acts of any popular assembly. But more to-morrow upon a subject, which, having taken up, we shall not entitely abandon till the claimants have ob tained justice at the hands of the CHANCELLOR of the ExthlEQuEn and the GOVernment. Madrid Journals of the 20th ult. have reached us. 'M. DE LIMA, the Portuguese Envoy, had met with a most flattering reception from ESPAR TERO, who_ eXpressed his great delight that there no longer existed any grounds for the prevention of the most amicable relations between the two countries. Letters from Estella of the Bth state that the General commanding in that town had learned that a Frenchman was travelling through the Basque provinces inciting the peasants to insurrection. Troops were sent in pursuit of him, and - he *as discovered at Tren zure in the house of a Priest. He stated he was aCaptain in the French service, butrefusing to walk the soldiers bound him and brought him prisoner to Panwelmia. His arrest has attracted the notice of the - French authorities. Business was not attire on the Bourse. The Fives were done at 28 1 1 for cash, and 28k at 60 days. The Paris papers of Friday and Saturday have been duly received. We quote from them a summary of the exceedingly interesting debate in the Chamber of Deputies on the Secret Ser vice Bill, which has re-opened the policy of the Cabinets of the Ist of March and the 29th of October-on the Eastern question. -M. !Farms' speech will well repay the trouble of a careful perusal.. The ex-Minister, notwithstanding his defeat, is still willing to support the Government, provided it keep. France in that state of isolation in which he left it on being driven out of office. He does not call for immediate war, but he is for keeping up that excitement—that jealousy throughout Europe which must inevitably terminate in hostilities. M. TRIERS says that while France remains isolated nothing can he done in the East. Has there, then, been nothing done in the East during the isolation of France ? Was it not while France was in a state of isolation that Beyrout was captured—that Acre was bombarded and taken—that MEHEMET Am submitted to the Porte—that the Turkish fleet was restored—and that a firman was granted to the Vic ituov, bestowing upon him the Pachalic of Egypt? Were not all these facts accomplished during the isolation of France ? And what now circumstance has arisen to prevent the accomplish ment of equally important facts, should France be mad enough to persist in her scheme of isola tion ? France is great and powerful ; but she is neither so great nor so powerful as to paralyze by her silence the greater and more powerful exer tions of the rest of Eur Ope combined in opposition to her. It is possible for France to carry her system of isolation too far. It is possible to teach Europe that the most important questions in the government of the world can he as well and as easily solved without her concurrence as with it. We trust that M. Guizor and the majority of the Charri bers will have the sagacity to perceive that this would be a dangerous lesson to teach Europe. It is always the safest and most convenient policy when we can accomplish it, riot to let our friends know they can do without us. We regret to state that typhus, fever pre vails very much in France.- Paris has all at once bedome very. unhealthy. The southern provinces • are again suffering from inundations. Of general news there is very little- n these journals. The following extracts from them in clude all they contain of any interest : La Presse states that Mll. Rothschild, brothers, of Paris, have just concluded the details of the new Belgian loan, amounting to 83,000,000 in capital, and 90,000,000 in sbcuri ties. The facility with which the MM. Rothschild have nego tiated.this loan, notwithstanding the present scarcity of dish " is," continues La Pi esse, " a proof of the confidence which that house enjoys are-orm'capitalists, and is besides a powerful argument in favour of tlra maintenance of_.peace. The Be!-. gian capitalists have subscribed for 20,000,000 of this capital, which was at first contracted for by the Belgian Bank, and which failed to execute its arrangements." To-day at twenty minutes past two o'clock water has at length appeared in the well which the City of Paris has caused to be dug at the abattoir of Grenelle ; the water is said to be lukewarm. It was to be expected that on account of the temperature of the low strata to which the well has been dug, the temperature of the water would be higher than that of the springs nearer the surface at Paris. The depth to which the workmen have penetrated is 560 metres ; this result, which has cost the City of Paris above 160,000 francs, is the fruit of many years unremitting labour, and solves a geological problem of tl:e greatest importance, namely, the existence of subterianeous sheets of water below the im mense beds of green chalk of the Paris basin. —Le Moniteur, Feb: 27. Our last letters -from Madrid assign as the reason of the, assembling of a considerable number of troops in that capital, the intention which Espartero is supposed to have to get himself proclaimed sole Regent by the Army. We have a letter of the 19th, which confirms this supposition. Espartero is not only said to have the Army in his favour, but it should seem that the majority of the Cortes is- likewise well disposed towards him ; accordingly hardly any doubt is entertained of the reality of the project and of its result. The Cortes are to meet on the 19th of March. (From the Courrier Francais.) A considerable failure, that of the house of C—, has just thrown perturbation and terror into the commerce of Milan. This house, which had undertaken the dyeing of linen and cotton stuffs, and which employed a considerable number of workmen, has failed for four millions of francs, and, though said to have property to the amount of three millions, will probably pay but a small dividend. Besides several houses m Milan much compromised by this failure, there are also some houses in Venice, Trieste, and especially in Vienna, great losers. To add to this misfortune, the inundations have again interrupted commercial communica tion on the roads of Genoa, Turin, and Piacenza. The con tinual rain which has fallen for the last fifteen days, and the melting of the snow, occasioned by the sirocco, have over flowed the 1 1 ,•, the Tesin, and the Sesia, in such a manner that all communication is stopped. The only roads that were open were those of Switzerland, and these, it is feared, will also be closed. The French courier from Bale has been delayed seve, ral days, and that of the 20th has not yet an ived. The rail road from Mil n to Monza has been overflowed, and the circu lation has been stopped since the 19th. BO UR SE. SATURDAY, FEB. 27. liras Highest Lowest Last Price Price. Pricy.

We have had scarcely any news to influence the funds to-day, but they nevertheless improved owing to the in creased abundance of money. The rise in Consols as compared with the closing value of Saturday, was k per cent., the quotations for present transfer being 884 to 881, and for time 89 to 891. The continuation to the April account has rather fallen off. Exchequer Bills were a shade higher, namely, 7 to 10 premium., and India Bonds improved to 10 and 15 discount. Bank Stock get up to 1661 and 167 k, the 3f per Cent. Reduced Annuities were at 974 to 98, the 3 1. er Cent. at 89 to 89k, and the New 3k per Cents. at 97 to It is not improbable but that the debate to-night in the Commons may influence the value of Stocks upon the opening. to-morrow, but people in the City pretty %ell guess which way the division will go. There was a moderate business done in Foreign Stocks. Slianish Active Bonds Were favourably influenced by the intel!igence of the Portugue.e Ambassador having been again received at the Court of Madrid, on presenting his credentials to the Re. gency of Eipartero. The Active Bonds got up from 234, 24 to 24 and 244. The news from Lisbon not possessing the least interest, the New Portuguese 5 per Cents. were dull at 31k, and the 3 per Cents. at 19k. Cc lomhian Stock of 1924 was marked 224 to 231, and Mexican Bonds of 1837 were firmer at 28, ,being for each rather higher prices. Peruvian Bonus were at 171. Belgian Old 5 per Cent?. were firm at 100, and Dutch 21 per Cents touched 50k to 501. The Railway Shares all had a tendency to advance. Great Western were 22 to 23 prem., ex-dividend ; the New 104, the Fifths 5k to si, the Birmingham 81 prem., ex-dividend, and the South-Western Tenths 11 prem. Brighton were 6/, Blackwell 54, Manchester and Birming ham 154, and North Midland . 29 discount. The Halifax steamer starts on thb . 4th instant, and the British Queen on the Bth, so that we may soon expect to ,have a more regular and active communication kept up be tween this country and' the United States. (From The Sun of Last Night. ) The Lisbon mail has arrived, brought by the Tagus steamer, of the 22d February. The intelligence by the above conveyance, in respect to political affairs, is of little interest. The rains and floods, which have taken place in several parts of Portugal and near Lisbon, has caused great desolation and distress. At Valletta the waters rose to such a height that the people were obliged to take refuge on the roofs of the houses, and a number of lives have been lost. Further particulars will be found in another part of the paper. By the hamburgh mail, of the 23d February, the Exchange upon London comes 13 3 ; Gold 425 ; Metalliques, 1041 ; Bank Actions, 1,610. We have received the Journal of Antwerp of yesterday's date : FRONTIERS OF ITALY, FRB. 13.—Accounts from Rome state the arrival there of a Russian Plenipotentiary. His ob ject is to arrange the existing differences between the two Courts, and particularly that respecting the marriage of the Archduchess Marie with the Prince Leuchtenberg. Accounts from St. Petersburgh state the failure of a silk merchant, to the amount of a million of roubles in money. BOURSE OF AMSTERDAM, F]te. 26.—The accounts received of the Bourse of Paris and London were weak and receding; our maional fluids gave way. Money continues abundant, and the Banklhas lowered their rate of discount pe,Pent. to four per cent. Nothing. particular has taken place in the foreign funds. Ardoin's Spanish 22 1-16 to 22k; Coupons, 21. Prices of the 26th Feb., Two.and-a-Half per Cents. 50 5-16; Five per Cents., 97 13-16. The Dutch Papers state that the interest on Loans and Stocks has been reduced to 4 per cent., which is one-half per cent. lower than before; therefore it must be a mistake that the Bank have reduced their rate of interest.

Hobart Town on the 15th August, all well, and that an observatory was in progress of being con structed in the Governor's paddock. '1 here is not only a stagnation in the British Funds to the present hour, but also in commercial speculation, causing great dulness in the City.

He, of course, immediately proclaimed his loss, and suspecting some of his neighbours of the crime, he gave out that he intended applying to a cunning woman who resided in tl:e neighbourhood, and who is a reputed conjuror. The con sequence war, that on Tuesday morning following, upon openirg his door to go to his labour, be perceived his lost treasure on the threshold, and en reckoning the same, found, it is said, 125 sovereigns, whether the thief mistook his reckoning, or added au additional piece cf gold to the sum for conscience sake, we know not. —Merlin, THE MARQUIS OF WATERFORD.—The ap proaching election of a Lord Rector for Marischal College will most probably afford some amusement. The Non-intrusion ists could not allow the young gentlemen to exercise their own judgment, but attempted to force on them the Kirk-ridden Lord-Advocate. What was the result? Why, the boys would not be dictated to ; and, to show their contempt for Non-in trusion and all other pharisaical humbug, started ' in opposi tion, the Marquis of Waterford ! This celebrated nobleman ha', it is said, a good chance of being returned—at all events a better than the Lord Advocate; and we must confess •that we are not a bit sorry that such should be the case.—Aberdeen A FACT WORTH ATTENTION.--The Re verend J. Mason, Independent Minister, labours in a poor neighbourhood, among the weavers of Spital. fields, and though he is very useful, aild labours hard, his income is less than 1001. per annum. To him, a short time ago, the Bishop of London made application, offering to take his chapel and repair it, for about 600 L, then to license it, and ordain Mr. M. as its minister, with all its advantageous prospects, if be would conform to the Establishment. To a man with a family and so small an income it was a tempting offer. Mr. M. returned an En swer to his Lordship declining his offer, as he was a Dis senter from conviction.—Patriot. Mrs. Cockerell, now the Countess of Eglinton, was the widow of Captain Howe Cockerell, whom she first;.met on her passage to India, whither the Captain was also going to push his fortune. He arrived at the period of the great Whites in Calcutta, and through bis family connections was appointed to wind up the affairs of some of the great houses; a service is which be realised 160;000/. in a few years. He died sherdy after his return to England, leaving his young and beautiful wife the life interest of his fortune, and 40,000/. at her absolute dis posal.— Glasgow Chronicle. Mr. Button, gardener, at Caistor, had new po atocs to dinner on New Yeat's Day, METROPOLIS IMPROVEMENTS A Bill has just been brought into the House of Commons to enable her Majesty's Commis sioners of Woods and Forests to make a new street from Coventry -street to Long Acre, and also a new street from the east-end of East Smithfield to Rosemary-lane, and for authorising advances to be made towards other improve ments in the metropolis. The other improve ments are—to continue the line of street from Waterloo-bridge to Bow-street, northward, into Broad-street, I T Iolborn';" to •ex tend Oxford-street in a direct line through St. Gile.s's,, so as to com municate with Holborn, at or near Southampton street, and to open a spacious „thoroughfare be tween the populous neighboul-hood of White chapel and Spitalfields, and the Docks and Wharfs of the River Thames., It is proposed also to complete a line of communication be tweenfr amirnegady means of communi with . S t am f or d- stree t the Borough of Southwark and West minster-bridge, s t t h e e r- ybrnirk dger,oa cation - between the terminus of the Brighton and Kent railroads at London-bridge, and the whole of the west-end of the metropolis, and also to make a spaCious and convenient communication be tween the neighbourhood of the Parliament House and Buckingham Palace, passing through a district in Westminster now extremely insalu brious, by reason of the want of sufficient drain age. For the purpose of completing this last line, the Commissioners are to be authorised to pay a sum not exceeding 39,000/. ;. for the line between Southwark • and Westminster-bridge, 30,0001.; and for completing the street from Far, ringdon street to Clerkenwell - green, 25,0001. The sum altogether which the Commissioners i te pr to nv b em ea e u n t t h s o in ri t s o ed eff to nc i t ai i s s e 3 f o o o r ,o ca o r o r i yi . carrying ghe these two first mentioned streets are to be commenced without delay after the Bill has passed. The line from Coventry-street will interfere with property in Prince's-street, Leicester-square, Cranbourne-street, Bear-street, Cranbourne alley, Castle-street, Little St. Martin's-'court, at the back of the Old Slaughter's Coffee-h ouse , Newport-street, and :St Martin's-lan e . That from East Smithfield to Rosemary-lane will run by Tuerena-court, Well-street, and Dock-street. DEATH OF THE COUNTESS OF SHELBURNE. —We regret to have to state that the family of the Marquis of Lansdowne has again been plunged into the deepest grief and affliction, by the death of tho Countess of Shel burne' which took place onSuuday at Wilton House, where her Shel burne', had been in a stat , 3 which precluded hope for the greater part of tl.e past week. Her Ladyship was fifth daughter of the late Earl of Pembroke, and, w as mar ., ried is last. She was in her 24th year. MAGAZINES CONTINUED. THE SPORTSMAN. This clever ‘porting periodical is embellished with ts - voxatherspirited illustrations, the "Stable," by Beckwith, from a design, by Turner, and the " Felon detected," designed and engraved by the former a r ti s t. The - detected felon is sly Reynard, who is discovered by a huntsman. just as he is about to convey to his den the feathered guardian of the nearest hen-roost lying dead before him. Reynard's blank-look at his ap proaching foe would form no bad study for the imitation of biped aspirants for the honour of an early appearance at the bar of the Old Bailey. The letter-press of this Number abounds in amusing anecdotes of the chase, which are not the less stirring for their air of doubtful authen ticity. THE SPORTING REVIEW. The embellishments of the Sporting Review for March are " Fox-hunting,' Plate 111. by Prior, from a design by Davis, nd a map of the various meets of the Quorn Hounds. Both are as well executed as the generality of Magazine illustrations. The best papers in this, Number are "Hyde Marston," and the " HiStory of the Turf," both, we suspect from the pen of the Edi tor, though only one is said to be his. " Sham rock" is a sad hand at the Irish brogue, which, by the bye, few Englishmen are ever able to manage, however conversant they may be with the tales of Lady Morgan, Banim, Lover, Carle ton Miss Edgworth, and Mrs. Hall. Ni mro d' s " Carle ton, in Leicestershire" is continued, but so briefly that we derive scarcely any pleasure from its perusal. The " Royal Stud" will prove a welcome article to such country sportsmen as have never had an opportunity of visiting her Majesty's Mews at Pimlico. THE DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE. An etching of Daniel O'Connell, M.P. for all Ireland, as Cobbett well described him, is the prominent figure in the portrait gallery of the Tory Dublin Magazine for March ! Yes there is the veritable Daniel himself, his cloak thrown carelessly round his portly figure, and he in the act of trudging down to the House of Commons. The smile on his face, and the twinkle of his longing roguish eye, tell as plainly as words could do that he is enjOying in anticipation some fresh triumph over the Tories. The biographical sketch which accompanies the portrait of the Member for Dublin, though penned by a rabid Tory, betrays indications of a latent and long cherished admiration of the distinguished object of the writer's vituperation. Though opposed in heart and soul to Daniel and his party, the writer shrinks from appearing as the vulgar assailant and calumniator of a man whom he evidently thinks is an honour to the country that gave him birth. Let us quote a sentence or two to show in what this writer differs from the Coarse calumnia tors who attack O'Connell in the columns of the Evening Mail and the Standard:—" We have heard insinuations against Mr. O'Connell's va lour. In the most unequivocal terms we declare our disbelief in them.. We lay no such flattering unction to our souls as that rebellion must grow slack in consequence of Mr. O'Connell's cowar dice. If he thought it advisable to marshal the strength of his masses against the power of Eng land, we believe firmly that, from any craven apprehensions of what would befal himself, he would not stay the battle. On the contrary, we believe— " That hour of bliss is all he'd crave Between his labours and his grave." No. Mr. O'Connell is not a dastard." The writer goes on to express his belief that Mr. O'Connell was a repealer from the first moment of his political existence—a fact which, lie says, reconciles all that appears discrepant in his long and distinguished political career. He is further persuaded that Mr. O'Connell never for an in stant swerved from his principles, or was untrue to himself. According to this Tory writer, Mr. O'Connell is a mistaken and a mischievous, but at the same time a thoroughly honest, self-per suaded, and self-confiding politician, who, seeing before him what he deems the only path to li berty, pursues it with unfalterin g c , foot, unchang ing eye, and unfailing heart. This sketch of O'Connell by a contemporary Orangeman, satis fies us that posterity will do justice to the political genius of the Irish liberator. The " Misfortunes of Barney Branagan," by William Carleton, one of the most delightful of Irish story-tellers, is continued this month. "Dramatic Doings" is a clever sketch, evidently written by one familiar with all the approaches to the Green-room. It is full of life, as such sketches ought to be. M. Guizot's " Washington," and Taylor's "Natural History of Society," supply materials for two ar ticles of able, and, in a great measure, judicious criticism. ."

(From the African Colonizer.) TO THE HONOURABLE THE HOUSE OF COMMONS IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED. THE PETITION OF S. BANNISTER, BARRIS- TER. AT- L AW, Humbly Showeth,—That a Bill pending before your Honourable Home for facilitating the Administration of Justit e in the Hous of Lords and the Privy Coun cil, concerns a matter upon which your p, ttioner pre• sumes to offer to the consideration of your Honourable House, the result of much reflection and experience. That the Crown }:as for many years past been used, at its discretion, to refer to the Privy Council, divers petitions upon subjects not cognizable in Courts of Law or Equity ; being complaints hy, or against, Crown officers and claims subject to the adjudication of the Crown ; and at the like discretion, the Crown has also long used to refe.e. or (Idly indefinitely the hearing of such petitions, complakts, and cla:mn • Thi.t by the 411,sectiohof e statntr, ktopitla iesty-Kirg ltttninisteritit jdttico in the Privy Council, the reference of matters of this sort to Cie Judicial Committee of the Privy Council was left to the discretion of the Crown, and what was before an uncertain and often urjutt practice, thus in 1 833 became a legel injustice. That by t-,c 13 , 11 now before your Honourable House the same cvil discretion is left uncoctrolled, and thus by continued acquiescence a new sanction is given to a system which unceasingly wo,ks great wrong. Ita victims have tom known, under the torture of despair, to commit suicide, and to kill a Minister of St ite ; and the 6tfferings of many under the same system are often deeper than those, which, in son - .c caws, lecd to suicide or assassination. Besides all which, the usage of not hearing such petitions, complair.ts, and claims is against the ancient common law, which only requires good guarantees by statute for hearing parties to be satis factory. _ . That your petitioner subm!ts that this s'a'c of things constitutes an intolerable grievance, and that especiaAy in our c , ,lonies, spread over many tcmote regions, it is even more tnisch . evous to the public service than c.ur! to individuals. Petitioner therefore prays flirt there may be added to the Bill aforesaid a prevision, enjoining Vie Judicial Committee to brar and c'et rmine ccery petition pre ferred to the Crown by or against any public officer, and every complaint or claim at present cognizable by the Privy Council, only upon exprass reference by the Crown. And petitioner, as in duty bound, shall cver pray. P resented by Mr. Hume. SPORTING INTELI.IGENCE. TATTERSALL'S--.YESTERDAY.

The thieves effected an entrance from the hack o f t h e premises, enough to admi t a man ' s hand an by cutting a hole large and arm in the shutter of a back kitchen window ; by thin means they were enabled to draw the fastenings, and make their way into the lower part of the house. After ransacking the kitchen, the rob. bars had the hardihood to proceed to the parlours on the ground floor, where they W ere evidently disturbed, for although they stole a valuable French clock, a silver c cntet stand, grea t coats , & c . & c ., yet they lift many portable articles of plate uutoucbed.
