We adverted some months ago to a report that the CZUEEN DOWAGER was about to grant 2,000 L, in addition to the large sum she had already paid for building a church at Malta, and treated it as a wicked calumny ; for we could not believe it possible that her Majesty would send money out of the country for such a purpose, when English women were committing murder and ,oiicide from insufferable want and hopeless despair. No more was heard of the report ; but looking at all the circumstances, we fear it is not without founda tion. Queen ADELAIDE, it is ivell known, is much uader the influence of the clergy ; and when we find tiese men Combining to raise money for Colonial I:ishops, we may infer that they will consider it a meri torious act to build a Colonial Cathedral. The Bishop of London is one of the most active of his " order" in Lusiness of this kind, and though we should not com plain if he gave 10,000/. a•year out of his enormous income to promote true religion in this country, or even abroad, we must protest against the atrocious scheme he las devised for abstracting, during this period of awful want and distress, money from the pockets or' Englishmen for the erection of either colonial 3llshoprics or . coronial churches. A scheme of this description, hoWever, is 'prepared, for he has ad ilressoda. circular to the clergy of his diocese, the object - t which is to exhort them to make collections in their espective churches, in aid of the fund for the " endow inentof the Bishoprics in the colonies." Thus while the clergy receive from seven millions to nine millions ster- I ng yearly (for they take care that the full amount shall not be known), they are called upon by this pious and wealthy Bishop to use their spiritual influence to raise money, not to feed the hungry, or save the dying, but to add to the wealth of their own order in tureign lauds. Of all the egregious instances of priestly assumption and impudence that have distinguished Churchmen above all other classes, this is the most as tonishing. What while the poor people of Paisley are ' forced to keep body and soul together on three halfpence j a-day each ; -while thousands of famished children in Engla.nd are crying for bread, and their broken-hearted mothers starving themselves to relieve their offspring ; while high-spirited Englishmen are brought so low by want, as to solicit the crumbs that fall even from the common soldier's table ; and tens of thou aands are debarred from entering a church for want cif decent clothing, the cries of our starving poor are to be drowned by holy shootings for more Church ! The spirit that dictates this outrageous attempt is the spirit of infi delity, and not Christianity, for in the words of the sa• crud writer,. "He that provideth not for his own, and especially for. those of his own hOusehOld, has denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel." Bat the monstrous tinderta,king cannot succeed. The voice of the charitable people of this country will be raised against it, and hould that not deter this arrogant priest, we trust her 1 MAJESTY will show herself the head of the Church in reality, and , issue an injunction against such wicked ; rnockery. The answers of the Earl of ABERDEEN in the House of Lords, and of Sir ROBERT PEEL, in the House of Commons, to the questions put to them last night by lord CLARENDON and lord PALMERSTON, relative to the view taken by the British Government of the con spiracy recently entered into by certain well-known per sonages in France, to effect a revolution in Spain, are most creditable to the Government of this country. But -what a hubbub will they not raise in France ! What consternation will they not excite in Monday's Cabinet Council at the Tuileries ! How the coterie of traitors which throng the hotel of Madame MUNOZ, will stare with dread and astonishment, when they learn from the reports of the proceedings in the British Parliament that -their treasons against ESPARTERO are known not only - hy the Members of the English Cabinet, but by the whole of the ex-Ministers ! And, above all, with -what face will M. GLIzoT present himself in the Chamber of Deputies, after declaring from The tribune on Teesday last, that no conspiracy /existed- in France for disturbing the Government es lablished in Spain ? This declaration was read on :Friday- morning by the Noble Foreign Secretary, Lord .ABERDEEN, and the Premier, Sir R. PEEL, and they 35oth seized the earliest opportunity to assure Parlia went and the country that they knew it to be the re verse of true—that such a conspiracy did exist, and that the vigilance of the British Government would be em yloyed to defeat it. - The Earl of CLARENDON, whose attachment to the constitutional Government of Spain, has been of such t;igna.l service to that country, expressed, in a masterly , aanner, the duplicity and treachery of the French Go '4 eminent. He showed that the existence of a conspiracy in France, countenanced and supported by the Soma ( trzz.yr Cabinet, to revolutionise Spain, was notorious. ale especially directed attention to the congregation of the. most dangerous Carlist and Christino refugees aipon the frontier—to their being allowed to travel as missionaries of religion, although under I taw nominal surveillance of the French Government—to sho•remission of large sums of money by them for the • wse of rebels on the Spanish side of the frontier—to the concentration of a largo military force by France in the same quarter—and to the presence of an Aide-de-Camp of the French Premier, Marshal SOULT, at the little court of Don CARLOS. His Lordship further proved, by a re ference to the conduct of France in 1839, that she could, •,%thenever she chose, put dor..n these treasonable movements, anl contended that her not doing so removed :411 doubt or the complicity of her Government. The Npe , 4 , ch of the Earl of ABERDEEN implied an entire belief in alLthat fell from Lord CLARENDON, respecting the treachery of the French Cabinet. He stated that the Trench Goerrirricnt had officially admitted the existence 4,1 a conspiracy, but premised to do all in its power to suppress it. The Noble • Earl, however; . abstained from invoking , their Lordships to 'pay any regard to that priamise7--anumission_ of N3l , .ich assuredly he would not Lave been guilty, had he Aced-the shadow Of re liance upon iel . tance upon it. In the ev ent o r- an outbreak, the Noble Earl pledged the. 'British -. Government not ' only to afford JEsPAuTEtto all the moral support of England, but like wise .to render him that naval- assistance which, under lord Jons HAY, contributed's° effectually to the last over t brow of Don CARLOS. Nor did the Noble Earl stop here. In addition, to promising the present constitutional Go- Ternment of Spain the entire support of England, the Noble Foreign Secretary_took care to impress upon their Lordships that such support was well deserved. " The present Governmen t of S p ain, " observed hi s Lordship, " deserve 3 particularly the support of her Majesty's Go vernment, for it hats, clone more t? advan ce th e i nterests of that country than any otheivstikd the death of FER- InNAND." .Tile language 2 of — Sir ROBERT PEEL in the House . .of Commons- was :, Utore reserved, but the snbstanCe of it - was the Same. i. 'e have n o l onger Any apprehension as to the lailurf! r the conspi racy against ESPARTERO. Louis PHILIP will not ri s k a • war with this country to restore -Maaame MUNOZ, and .. - Lis Majesty must now See .. {fiat' Without risking a war Imr restoration is impossible. With the Whigs ready to support them, the Tories are not the Ministers to shrink from the fulfilment of pledges made to Spain, out of an apprehension of French hostility. War has ever proved to them too rich a harvest to justify the expectation of is forfeiture of honour to avoid it. And in the same proportion that the speeches of. the British Ministers will disconcert the plots of the French and Spanish conspirators, will they consolidate the real power of the REGENT and his Cabinet. Nor will the domestic factions of Spain, which, notwithstanding their petty bickerings, are ready to spill their blood for the Constitution, bear with indifference the admonitions to union addressed to them by the friendly Government of England. When they see the Tories pursuing the same course towards their country that the Whigs did, they cannot but feel convinced that all parties in Eng land have nothing more generally at heart than the triumph and the consolidation of constitutional freedom in the Peninsula. The Fives were clone on the Madrid Bourse on the 24th ult. at 25 : 1f0r cash. _ j There is no political news of interest in the French ' Journals, nor is their dulness relieved by any thing con tained in the Madrid papers of the 24th ult., likewise re ceived. The Spanish Government was displaying great '.firmness, and keeping down the factions with a high hand. A duel had been fought between two Spanish deputies, M. LAcosTE and Colonel PRIME,. when both were slightly wounded. A Madrid letter, in the Memorial of Pau, states" that one of the Generals, Diarvaez, has arrived at Tangiers, and that his presence there causes uneasiness to the authorities of An dalusia, who are apprehensive of his meditating a descent upon Spain. The Catolico of Mahon, mentioning the arrival of the Bishops of Siguenza and Calahorra, who have been exiled to that place, says that these Prelates have been_ condemned, the first to four years and the second to six years' exile, and all the expenses of the persecution against them. To meet these expenses, which they were totally unable to pay, all their books, robes, and moveable objects of every kind had been seized ant' sold. A Correspondent of the Semaphore, at Beyrout, asserts that the condition of the Maronites and other Christians in Syria is much worse since the termination of the troubles than before; that the Druses tyrannise over and insult them, and that the Turkish au:horities incline in all judicial decisions to the party 4 the Mussulmans. This account is not in accordance with what we learn from Malta and Constantinople, and should be received with caution, since the protection of the Christians is sometimes set up as an excuse for claiming the interference of a European Power. A letter from Toulon of the 244th of February states, that orders from the Minister r.f Marine have been received in the several ports of the kingdom directing that all diligence shall be used to complete the steam-boats now building. It is ex pected that one will be launched in our port on occasion of the fete of the lst of May. Orders have been received to hasten the repairs of the Belle Poule.— Constitutionnel.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MARCH 4.—We began with a good demand, the sales on Monday being nearly 7,000 bales. This large business and demand was not fully sup ported on the two following days, but the market retained much of the same temper and spirit. Yesterday and to- day the large quantity of ordinary and middling, and middling fair American pressed on the market for sale has been sensibly felt, and we ..:Asse the week in a dull manner for those lower qualities ; at the same time the better sorts steadily maintain their ground. In prices there is no change, for if at the beginning of the week there was rot a.moment an upward tendency, it has been all lost again on the operations yesterday and this morning ,and wa-tberefore see no necessity to vary our quotations. Possibly the effects of a cheaper and easier Money Market may not yet have been fully felt on cotton. Judging from the past there can hardly be any doubt that the present low rates will by and by draw attention to an article which keeps without injury for any length of time, and from its convertibility comes so nearly to the public Stocks: 2,000 American, and 1,600 Surat have been taken on speculation, and 1,000 American and 100 Surat for export. The sales to-day amount to 4,000 bales for the lower qualities, the market is heavy, but the better main tain full prices. LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET, MARCH 4.—A good business has been done in this market to-day, with a firm market. The sales are—Eastern Counties Debentures, 37a. 6d. premium ; Grand Junction, 182 per share; Great Western, 90; Ditto Fifths, 10 5-16ths ; Liverpool and Manchester Quarter Shares, 45; Ditto Half Shares 87i ; London and Birmingham Quarter Shares, 36*; London and South Western, 58i ; North Mid land Thirds, 15* MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE, MARCH 4.—We have had a firm Market to-day, but in consequence of there being few sellers little business has been done. Eastern Counties, 9* to 9%; do. Debentures, 103% to 10% ; Manchester and Leeds, 75 to 76 ; Manchester and Birmingham, 2111 to 29 ; London and Birmingham (32) Old, 571 to 58. THE FUNDS. The British Securities opened tirm this morning with but little doing. Consols for Money are now 89* 4, a n d f or th e Account 69a; New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. 98E 99; Exchequer Bills, 28 to 30 premium. The Earl of Aberdeen's reply to the Earl of Clarendon in the House of Lords last night respecting the state of affairs, has given great satiafaction to the holders of Spanish Securities, and hascaused an improvement in the price of them this morning; the Active Stock is now firm at 2.5*, Deferred 12i. and Passive 5 i; Mexican Stock fully maintains its price, the present quotation is 384 39, there is, however, but little doing in any of the Securities at present. Portuguese Five per Cents. are 33i, and the Three per Cents. 19i 20, Colombian 24* 4, Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents. 51i 52k, Ditto Five pea Cents. 1024 103, Brazilian 654 664. _ _ The Share Market presents no variation, and nothing doing. Great Western are 24 to 25 prem., and the New Shares 12i to 13 prem., London and Brighton 36k, London and Blackwall 14 to 12i, London and Birmingham 175 to 177. Money has been exceedingly plentiful during the week, and the approach of the financial quarter does not appear to have any influence in the value of it. First class commercial paper is freely discounted by the brokers at 31 4 per cent. The same degree of indisposition to invest in commodities by the mer chants of the metropolis has extended to the provinces, and by this means the country bankers are adding to their balances in town, and thereby increasing the amount of unemployed capital. The discount houses have refused money upon any terms, from a conviction that there is at present no immediate prospect of inve ting it to advantage. The quarterly average of the weekly liabilities and assets of the Bank of England, published in the Gazette of last night, compared with the previous returns, exhibits an increase in the circulation of 139,000/. Securities, 219,000/. ; deposits, 418,000/. ; and bullion, 450,0001. The principal feature is a gradual increase in the stock of bullion for the last four or five months.

The greatest interest is still excited in the City by the failure of the Brighton Bank of Wigney and Co., and anxious in quiries have been made as to the parties likely to be the severest sufferers by it. It seems to be generally admitted that the failure is a bad one, and unfortunately the poorer classes are likely to suffer more in proportion than the " fashionables." Respecting the probable amount of the dividend nothing posi tive can be ascertained. It has been hinted that the highest personage in the realm bad a deposit account open with the Bark, though no doubt some of the Royal household had. The position of the. Bank of England excites much satisfac tion among the monied and mercantile interests. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY, TIMES.—The suspension of the old firm of \Vigney and Co., of Brighton, was made known to-day in the City, and is supposed to have been in some measure occasioned by the failures that have recently taken place in that part of the country. The respectability and long-standing of the firm, one of the members of which is now in Parliament, have caused the circumstance to be regretted, but otherwise it is not looked upon as a matter of importance beyond the imme diate locality. The announcement received this morning seems to have been quite unexpected, and up to last night everything was paid by their London agents. it B h U i N oi a T bl h e e bills p fa t i ll t i o n d g o e c t o o- o d s o a l y s w f e o r r e i m m e m t e u d p i o a n t e t he transferwhole brought 89 1 i to b9a, and for the account 89 1 / 2 to 89 5 ' Ex chequer bills we re fi rm at the rise to 275. an d 295. premiumß. and East India Bo n d s were stniported at 9s. t o I I s . premium : New '1 hrce per Cents. w ere 981 to 99.

SUMMARY OF NEWS LAW INTELLIGENCE. CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) The Lord Chancellor sat in Lincoln's Inn Hall to-day. His Lordship, after disposing of several lunatic petitions, pro ceeded with the further arguments in the part-heard case " In the matter of Derham," which had not concluded when our Second Edition went to press. AIND Vtthitt . 1 4 , 3tnt n " Who runs may read." pore.Excay. The French Opposition Journals make a great outcry about the refusal of the Minister of the Interior to authorise the an nual meeting of the Anti-Slavery Society, to take place on the Bth inst., as announced since the sth of January last. The Temps and the Univers explain that the meeting is not for bidden, but only postponed ; and that the Duke de Broglie was to hold a private sitting of the Society to determine the period at which the annual meeting should take place. The Moniteur Parisien contains the following : La Presse, in recapitulating the different reports of a Spanish con spiracy, which have been spoken of for some time, adds, We can confidently assert, that not only papers, but printed pam phlets' were seized at Father C asares ' s res ide nc e, and after hi s arrest he was expelled the French territory.'" The Barcelona journals have reached us down to the 28th ult. The disturban-es continued until the night of the 2icl, but, thanks to the atonal Guards, who remained constantly under arms, and to the zeal and energy displayed by the authorities, they terminated without further bloodshed. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY). THE A TT ORNEY -GENERAL V. HERON. This was an information filed on behalf of a charity, which had been founded about a century ago by Lady Thorold. That lady had been possessed of a consi derable estate in Lincolnshire which she devised to certain trustees upon trust for the support of a num ber of schoolmasters. All the trustees had died, and no new ones having been appointed, it appeared that the guardians of the present Sir John Thorold, who was a minor, supposed they had a right to appoint trustees of the charity, Those trustees made certain payments for the benefit of the schoolmasters, and considered the re:t of the property as be longing to the family of the Thorolds. 'lbis appointment of trustees was invalid, and the present application was to ob tain a reference to the Master to have an account against the trustees of what they had received, and to have new trustees appointed. THE WATERLOO PURSE. ill.. PEMBERTON appeared on behalf of the charity. Mr. 'WHITE, who appeared for the defendants, stated that the present Sir John Thorold had attained his majority, and could of course appoint trustees of himself. Lord LANGDALE decreed a reference to the Master, ac cording to the prayer of the bill, with liberty to Sir J. Tho rold to re-appoint, with the approbaion of the Master, the same persons, or any others, as trustees. VIC B E-CH ANCEIty._(THIE NGLANDS DAY.) (efore the VICECHANCELL OR of . ) BRYDGIS V. BRANEILi. The further arguments in this part-heard case oceupied the Court the sshole day. (Before Vice-Chancellor BRUCE.) No case of public importance was heard in this Court. (Before Vice-Chancellor W 'GRAM.) BULTEEL V. LORD ARID/GER. In this case Counsel addressed the Court yesterday for Sir Edmund and Mr. Benjamin Currie. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, on behalf of the defendant, said the suit had been instituted without any expectation of ob taining a decree for specific performance. Its real object had been to force Lord Abinger to sign the contract by the threat of a suit, and by the insinuation of partial conduct towards his son. He contended that the letter of the 23d of July did not convey authority to sell to Mr. Bulteel ; it merely stated that "consider ing my connexion with the proposed purchaser ( Mr.B. Scarlett), so far as he is concerned, I shall take no steps to assist him in the purchase." The contemporaneous letters supported that view. The contract of the 30th of July was repudiated by Lord Abinger, before it was signed by the two other trustees; and Mr. Bulteel being ewer: of that fact, ought to bear the costs of the suit. Mr. SIMPKINsoN and Mr. ELMSEEY were heard this morn ing on the same side. Sir T. WILDE then rose to reply, and the Learned Counsel was proceeding with his reply when we went to press. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COUR T James Linchbury, descrilltd as a banker's clerk, was in dicted for stealing a 101. bank note, the property of Messrs. Hanbury and Co., Lombard.street, bankers, his employers. It appeared that the prisoner had been employed as a clerk in the banking-house of Messrs. Hanbury and Co., for upwards of twenty years, and his father had been in the same house before him. The case was one of an extremely intri cate and tedious nature. It was the duty of the prisoner to enter all cheques paid into the bank in a book, called the Goldsmiths' receivable book. On the 2d of February last, the books were valued up, and it was found that there was a deficiency in the account• of the prisoner. Two clerks in the office examined carefully the books, and As Idle they were doing so, the prisoner went to his desk and re turned with a 301. note, observing that. he had, by mistake, placed the note in the desk. Some few days afterwards he was interrogated by two of the partners in the firth, when he ad mitted having taken a 101. note. It appeared that the conduct of the prisoner, who had been for a eonsiderkble period involved in debt, had caused some uneasiness to the firm on several oc casions, and his employers bad most kindly relieved him from his embarrassments. Although the indictment charged the prisoner with stealing 101. only, yet as much as 1401. had been missed on the day the discoviry of the robbery was made. Mr. PHILLIPS, who defended the prisoner, complained at the conclusion of the case that new evidence had beets brought forward against the prisoner, which did not appear in the depo sitions ; consequently, he (Mr. Phillips) was not in a positi..in to go so fully into the defence of the prisoner as he otherwise should have been. He concluded by calling a number of wit nesses, who bore testimony to the good character of the prisoner. The Learned RECORDER having summed up the evidence, the Jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of guilty, but accompanying the verdict with a recommendation to mercy, on the ground that that the prisoner had not had the full advantage of a defence by his Counsel. The PECORDEA then addressed the prisoner, and said it was extremely painful for the Court to pass sentecce upon a person who had hitherto borne so good a character, and who had been for many years in the employment and confidence of one of the first banking establishments in the City. But still for the sake of the public interest it was necessary to pass a severe sentence upon the prisoner, although that sentence should not be to the full extent of the law. The Jury had recommended the prisoner to mercy, and the Court was ever ready to listen to that recommendation, but under all the circumstances the prisoner must expect to leave his country and his friends for some years. The sntence, therefore, was that he be trans ported beyond the seas for the term of seven years. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET.—(TiIiS DAY.) A stout burly-looking man who gave his name William Maycroft, was charged w ith ill-t rea ti ng hi s w if e . The wife, a miserable puny little woman stated, that the prisoner tore her to pieces, and that she went in danger of her life from him " this morning," said the woman, "he took hold of me, dashed me on the bed, and tore me to pieces and kicked me:" Mrs. Noah, a lodger in the house whore the pri.oner and his worser half " reside, stated, that the complainant was most brutally treated. Last night the prisoner had been buying a bed stead;, and a young man brought it home; he fancied that the young man had taken some improper liberties with his wife, and he gave her a beating; the complainant, in consequence, slept with the witness last night, and the prisoner, this morn , ing, imagining teat she had not been at home all night, se. verely ill-used her. The prisoner, who appeared much excited, and labourea under a considerable infirmity of speech, when called on for his defence, delivered himself in nearly the following terms : P-p-please y-your V7v-y-vor-ship, thi-is woo-man—l-I-I vos ma-a-ried to her ei-eight months a- go - go; s h e goes out and st-to-to-to-tops all ni-ni-night often and often.

I'm used sh-sh-sh-sh-hameful. (This eloquent piece of oratory, which we think will scarcely find its parallel in the English language, occupied about halt an-hour in the delivery, during the wh o l e o f w hi c h t i me the Court was convulsed with laughter, i n w hi c h t h e B ench at times could scarcely refrain from joining. Though a most painful sight to witness a large bulky man, gasping and writhing to bring out a few words of pain English, the ridleulAs tortions made use of, and the strange effect Produced from this " hesitation of speech," as it has been tailed, really are such as to make the best bred man fotget the duties of decorum, and laugh in the speaker's face. ) Mr. Twirrostn ordered the prisoner to find bail, himself in 201., and two householders in 101. each, to keep the peace towards his wife and the whole of her Majesty's subjects., UNION - HALL-011115 IiAV.)

It appeared from the evidence that on the 27th of February the defendant brought his vessel into the Bow Creek, and dis charged her cargo, which was consigned to the Thames Plate glass Company, without making the entry at the Customs re quired by law. The practice had been so often repeated that the City authorities were determined, if possible, to put a stop to it. The amount of ditty on the cargo (320 tons) was n.p= wards of 201. A notice of the recently adopted method of collecting the dues had be,n extewivel,y circulated and adver ti ed in the London and Newcastle papers. The defendant was engaged in the Newcastle trade. The defendatt said ttat he was perfectly ignorant of the ne• cessity of paying dues before 'discharging. Ever since he had been master et a vessel, the dues had always been paid by the Company by whom he was employed. Air. BALLA NTINE said that the notice was very distinct. It was formerly the practice fur the factor to pay the dues, and the master had then only to discharge his cargo and go back. But . within a few months past, it had been found necessary to make an alteration, notice of which had been given to every trader. If the master was so ignorant as he professed to be, he must be taught by paying for it out of his own pocket. He should, therefore, order that the defendant do pay a fine of 5/. ptio MR.

NORTH OF ENGLA/TD MAGAZINE. There is a judicious mixture of fancy and matter of-fact in this periodical, which professes to be a re cord of Politics,. Literature, Science and Art. " Pu seyism" is the first question discussed, and the dis cussion is pursued ten - ipaately, and not without force of reasoning. The writer justly reMarits that the doctrine has two aspects—a religious and a political one ; that with the leading men who expound and enforce it, its religious element is decidedly predomi nant; but that the currency which it has gained in the community, and the material forces which it is enabled to wield, are due mainly to its political ele ment. " Animal Magnetism in Practice" is a quaint collection of rhymes, in some of which the reader will detect something of Hood's manner. " Characteris tics of Manchester" is a description of this 'overgrown town and its environs. The following is a pleasing poem by Charles Swain : With thee, dear Mother, still with thee— For hearts no distance may divide ! And thought on Love's own wing can flee, And place me ever by thy side: I hear thy voice !—again we meet—. again thy welcome form I see ! Oh, life bath not an hour so sweet, As that I pass in thoughts of thee ! With thee, my Mother,—though I roam This lone, cold world, from shore to shore ; My heart can never find a home Like that it loved with thee of yore I-- And wheresoe'er I turn my feet— Whatever friends I yet may see, Oh, life hath not an hour so sweet, As that I pass in thoughts of thee ! METROPOLITAN. The great blemish of this Number is its utter want of variety. Tales—tales—nothing but tales, from the first page to the last ! Now " partridges" are well enough in their way, but " toujours perdrix"—as the French adage has it—is a nuisance. We have ac tually not less than nine prose tabs, each good of its sort, but none first rate. The best is the one entitled the " Excommunicated," the scene of which is laid in South Wales, in the picturesque neighbourhood of Abergavenny, and the period when the leading events are supposed to have occurred, is the reign of Henry the Fifth. Next comes " Spencer Middleton, or the Squire of: River Hill," scattered through which we find several shrewd reflections on modern society. There are a few passable scraps of poetry in the Num ber, and some impartial "Notices of New Books" at the end, DISTRESS IN PAISLEY. PAISLEY, AlAnon 3.—(From x COl:rtiSkia,ent.).

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.—A fire broke out this morn ing at six o'clock, on the extensive premises of Mr. Weir, tailor, Newington Causeway, which in a short time gained a fearful ascendency. The engines from the Southwai k-bridge road and Waterloo-road, followed by the West of England, &c. were soon on the spot, but notwithstanding there was a good supply of water, the premises, with the con!ents, were com pletely destroyed, while the property in the adjoining houses is much damaged by water.

In both Houseslas7nTght iliei;;;entc;cspiracy, which is hatchingsin France with the knowledge, if not under the sanc tion of the French Government, was brought under notice by Lord Clarendon in the Upper, and Lord Palmerston in the Lower House; and it was satisfactory to hear the Earl of Aberdeen in the former, and Sir Robert Peel in the latter, em i,hatically declare that the present Government was the best which Spain bad had for many years; and express a hope that the people would rally round it, when they would be sure to de feat the conspirators. Such language does honour to the Tories. The Ministers, however, declined to say what had been the effeets of their remonstrances on the French Govern ment. Lord Monteagle, in the Upper House, moved for a Commit tee to inquire into the Exchequer bill affair, and vindicated his own conduct in the transaction. Lord Brougham defended Sir John Newport from some of tbe charges which Lord Monteagle had indirectly brought against him. The Noble Lord also approved of the Commis sionwhich is to be appointed. The Duke of Wellington begged the Noble Lord to with draw the motion, assuring him that no imputation rested on him. The motion was accordingly withdrawn. In the Commons the Corn Importation Bill was read a fi st time, and on that motion Mr. Cobden and Mr. Goulburn de fended the manufacturers from Mr. Ferrand's imputations. A smart altercation ensued. Mr. Mark Philips extorted from Sir li. Peel a confession that he had heard nothing since his appointment to justify such imputations as those of Mr. Ferrand. The question on the Scotch Church which Sir A. L. Hay was to bring forward, was postponed to make way for voting the Estimates, that Sir H. Peel may be enabled to make his financial statement, on Friday next. On the motion for going into a Committee of Supply, Mr. O'Connell moved for a copy of the instructions . that might have been issued relative to the performance of divine service in the Coast Guard, and called the attention to the ' fact that a great many Irish lads are embarked in the fleet who receive no instruction in the faith of their fathers. The motion was agreed to. The Navy Estimates were voted in Committee of Supply. Sir Charles Napier distinguished himself on the occasion by advocating very effectually the interests of the Navy. The Exchequer Bills Bill was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time or, Monday ; Lord Eliot b• ought in a Billrelative to Dublin Gaol, which was read a first time; and the House then adjourned. PUBX.XC The Times makes some remarks on the Exchequer Bill fraud, and is of opinion "that those who can be shown beyond dispute to have received these bills in the common course of business, unaccompanied by any circumstances of suspicion, any unusual conditions, inordinate interest, or unaccountable sources, have a plain claim for recompense. The agent of Go vernment, anll the lax regulations under which that agent was allowed to act, are here the sole causes of the mischief. We have no justification for making an example of these persons, and no purpose to serve by so doing. They have done all that could be required of them, or that we have a right to require of commercial men for the future." The Herald has a leading article suggested by Lord Mont_ eagle's speech last night in the Lords, on the Exchequer Bills' affair, of which speech our Contemporary gives the following orinion :—" The speech delivered, last night, by his Lordship was at once the most characteri.tic and the least to the purpose we ever read. His motion, in the first place was of that fawn ing " publican " kind, which men do call in Parliament motions "ad misericordiam." We should imagine that the Noble Lord did not even intend, much less anticipate, that it would be carried." The Chronicle says of Mr. Ferrand's reply to the speeches of Messrs. Villiers and Cobden last night in the Commons : Nothing could be more miserable than Mr. Ferrand's attempt at explanation and reply. This cock that crowed so lustily a week ago, cheered on by the shouts of his agricultural backers, proved craven on the first Occasion of being challenged to the proof of his taunting assertions. He denied having imputed cruelty to Mr. Cobden ; denied having imputed the practice of the truck system to him ' • and finally, attempt e d N get out of h havina• charged the truck system on the Leagu e , b y a . sert i eg that he could prove his charge against some members of it, and asserting that he had never brought the charge against all of them." The Post says that there seems to be no end to the impu dence r f the beaten Corn-law League men. " After bellow ing," adds the Post, " through the country for four long months about the wretched state of the British labourer, com pared with the fcreign labourer, all owing (as they asserted) to the diabolical Corn-laws, they now affect to be very indignant that any comparison of the kind should be made ! As soon as the comparison is made accurately, and upon a good foundation of evidence, it turns out that the foreign labourer is the man who lives ill, and not the British." The Adverti:er strenuously recommends a union of the working classes with the middle classes, as the only means left of accelerating the progress of Reform ; and goes on to re mark—" Concessions have coma from the middle classes; and we venture to hope that they .111 be cordially accepted by the working classes. Their best and steadiest friends look with much anxiety for their acquiescence in the proposal now made to them for a union with the middle classes ; and they may rely upon it, that none will be opposed to it, unless it be those who foresee in such a union, the annihilation of a mischievous power which they have been enabled, in the absence of more rational and influential men, to exercise over the minds and movements of the unrepresented classes." MCCIAISIASTICAL. The Rev. Alfred Illag,uire, pastor of a Roman Catholic chapel at Hethe, near Bicester, Oxfordshire, who, during a residence of 11 years, had never paid a church-rate, was dis trained upon by a new churchwarden there for 3s. 9d. this year, and, failing compliance, a seizure of furniture, to the amount of 31. 10s., being the costs of levy, &c., has been made. The matter has caused no little excitement in tha village. Z'LLCI'XONEMILIIVG. Lord Newport, a Conservative, was elected for South Shropshire, on Thursday last, without opposition. LAW AND POLXCL. The salary of the office of Town-Clerk, as enjoyed by Mr. Woodthorpe, was 2,000/. per annum. The Corporation, it is said, will reduce his successor's emoluments to somewhere about 1,500/. a-year. Robert Matthew"Annesley, formerly a solicitor, and who had been since engaged in sub-editing Tomlyn's Digest, and con tributing various articles to Lardner's Cyclopedia, appeared yesterday at Marlborough-street, and stated tkat he was in a state of starvation, and had not tasted food for 24 hours. He had lost his sight, and had a wife and four children. Mr. Hardwick ordered him a sovereign out of the poor-box. LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC. The Pitt Scholarship, every holder of which, it is remark able, has been educated at Shrewsbury School, and which is considered the highest classical honour of the University of Cambridge, has recently been adjudged to Mr. E. H. Gifford, of St. John's, after a contest with fifty other candidates. From the report of M. Niccolini, and other Neapolitan geo logists, it appears that the level of the sea, from 1823 to 1838, has fallen gradually between four and five inches English. THEATRICAL. The fantastic vaudeville of Le Denton de la Nuit was 'per formed at the St. James's Theatre last night. M. Perlet appeared in M. Pique Assiette, the clever gourmand, and in L'Artiste, in which he performed a variety of characters with god effect, to a full and fashionable audience. A vacancy has occurred in the number of the General Com mittee of Drury-lane Theatre, by the death of the Marquis of Hertford, who was a large proprietor of the building. The vacancy will not be filled up until the next general assembly of the proprietors after the date of the present season. SPORTING. A singular wager has been betted with the Hon. Grantley Berkeley, against the success of which 150 to 100 have been laid. Mr. Beikeley engages, en any given day between the months of November and February, 1842 and 1843, in any park, the ground of which he may approve, to course and pull down, and safely hobble and secure, five full-headed bucks, for the purpose of being put up for stall-feeding; using but one deer greyhound and one horse for the five courses, fresh horses alone being at his disposal for the singling out of the buck from the herd. Tattersall's Subscription-room is now under the control of the Jockey Club, and the subscribers are required to sign a paper, binding themselves to abide by the prevent lawa, and any that may hereafter be made.

To-morrow will be the anniversary of the death of Sir John Hawkwood, the best soldier of his day, and who greatly dis tinguished himself in the wars of Edward 111., against the French. With other knights of fortune he defended Florence, but was slain in the defence, and buried there in the Church of St. Repatata, where a statue, on horseback, was erected to him by public decree. TIIE POPULAR AUTHOR OF " THE STORIES OF WATERLOO," &c. &C.—A hearty welcome has always hailed the appearance of the productions of this spirited and deservedly successful writer. His buoya n t, most picturesque, and pleas ing mode of narrating the various incidents of his stories, whe ther they tell of mirthful scenes, or relate to the darker pas sages of our sometimes weary pilgrimages, are perhaps unri valled. Who of his thousands of readers will ever forget " Waterloo after the Battle," or " Maurice MacCarthy," or his fascinating " Wild Sports of the We s t ?" No modern writer so completely succeeds in enchaining by the maf,:ic of his pen the attention of his delighted readers : now exciting them to convulsive fits of laughter by his rich, oily humour, and broad rollicking Irish fun, and now again causing a tear to start, and the heart to become subdued at an o'er true tale, touched off with deepest pathos—like the glorious and inspiring melodies of his native laud—the land of the Shamrock ! Well may we, then, anticipate the eagerness with which " Hec tor O'Halloran," his new work (which is to appear in monthly Is. numbers like " Picku iek" and " Harry Lorrequer)," will be received. As a depictor of Irish life, whether in the halls of the gentry or the hovels of the peasantry, Mr. Maxwell has no living equal. The adventures of his new hero, Hector O'Hal loran, however, will not, we understand, be confined to Ireland, but carry him to England, France, and Spain ; and will present scenes of many-coloursd life in those countries, drawn from actual observation. We shall hail this new work with hearty welcome, and have no doubt it will be welcome everywhere. The first number, we hear, is to be published with the Maga zines at the end of the present month, with characteristic illus trations by a congenial spirit under the soubriquet of Kitcat. heares tab The sah in fetum n el p ele p ngw l ts i ot c or a kfu t i in t. o eaanm ‘dvoef havest ea m alreadypower he i d s t omarchingannounce on wardsth e athe saw-mills res a e t a D t i i g m li e s, ,A w i h r i . c L h e ar ey e , nthoew sveex tensive miller oi Pe rs h ore, is erecting spacious flour-mills, also at Diglis, in which the driving power is likewise to be steam.— Worcester Herald. like MONTHLY M4GAZINE. The Number before us opens with a short prose sketch by the late Haynes Bayly, which is in his tersest and archest manner. " Exclusive Report of a new Grand English Opera" is a smart quiz on the fustian and maudlin sentiment with which modern operas are often filled to overflowing. "Anecdotes of Ibrahim Pacha" exhibits that active and energetic despot in a very interesting light. We quote a pass able impromptu on " A Sailor confined in the Fleet Prison for contempt of Court :" ~ Britannia rules the waves;' they said When in the fleet my course wa4 free ; But now that in the " Fleet" I'm stayed, Britannia waves the " Rules" for me. COLBURN'S UNITED SERVICE MAGAZINE. An emulous spirit pervades the article on " Magnetism," and we fully enter into the san guine hopes of the writer, as to the great disclosures which promise to be developed under the methodical exploration now pursued in investigating this hitherto occult branch of science. Under the title of " Naval Articles of War," Mr. Elton's case is brought under review, and the tact of apparently a juris consult adduces a variety of cases in point. According to the letter of a Queen's officer, Tharawaddy, the present King of Burmah, who may one day probably work us some annoy, usurped the throne in 1837, after the execution of his nephew, the heir-apparent ; he is characterized as a talented, bold, and ambitious man, unscrupulous in his deal ings, and has publicly declared his aim to be, "to wrest from the English the provinces ceded to them by his predecessor." A series of papers, in which fancy or fact more or less predominate, contribute to form a pleasing monthly. POLYTECHNIC JOURNAL. The singular phenomena of the Daguerreotype, which the scientific theorisers of the present day ascribe to chemical action, are here endeavoured to be made referable to electricity, and the propositions set down seem to favour this new hypothesis, and give hopes that they will stand the test of experiment. A code of signals, by means of lamps illuminated in various fashions, promises to become of general adoption on railways. The electrical eel, caught in a stream of the river Amazon, has not, we observe, after three and a half years existence at the Adelaide Gallery, lost any of its power in setting fire to gold leaf, or magnetising steel needles. The notice of the scientific Am pere, the friend of Davy, amusingly shows that he drank hig eau sucree according to the laws of gravitation, and the contents of his tumbler at an ascertained angle. A remarkable new treadmill, designed by Mr. Fyfe, the engineer, appears with an illustration. It consists of what the inventor calls "An Endless Platform," formed by a revolving framework, and is so constructed, that the judge can exactly apportion out the hard labour according to the strength or culpeAlitY cf the criminal, a discretion which at present is not, unfrequently under the control or caprice of the gaoler. DUBLIN UNIVEIOITY MAGAZIIV.E* By a notice prefixed to the present Numbe: we, learn that the " Dublin University Mogul :1)e wilt henceforth be brought out under the auspices of MF: Lever—author of Harry Lorrequer—whose editorial labours will commence next month. As this gentle man is a practised and popular writer, and understands the public taste, we may reasonably presume that the Magazine will be greatly benefited by his superin tendence. His " Jack Hinton, the Guardsman''—of which we have here the five first chapters—exhibits much of that easy vigour of language and ready hu mour which were so attractive in the adventures of " Harry Lorrequer ;" if it be carried on with equal spirit, we cannot doubt that it will obtain equal popu larity. "Nuts and Nutcrackers" is a series of ram blin•) miscellaneous reflections on matters of every day occurrence.

In the pre.sent chapters of this lively work of fiction --which is the prothictitrii of Mr. Lever, author of " O'Malley, the Irish Dragoon," there are some clever sketches of Vice-regal revels in Ireland, fowards th o close of the last century, and of the mock knighting or an IfiAh serving-man by a drunken Lord-Lieute nant.

The " knocker" pourtrays a fat page, or foot-boy, making vain efforts to reach a knocker provokingly placed just half an inch above his fingers. From the expression of his countenance , we gat that he is expostulating.—and in no very a micable terms—with destiny. Should the letter , w hich he holds i n hi s indignant hand, be a billet dom.'', or have the word " immediate " marked on the env elope, he her will be in a pretty prediciment ! As a specimen of Punch's powers of humour in verse, we quote his ac count of a late imperfectly developed duel, which occasioned inextinguishable laughter all over town. It is a parody on one' of Moore's ballads, entitled the " Temple of Friendship " : " A challenge to Wraxall," said Symons enchanted, "'l'll send by a second; the thought is divine." The second was found, and they now only wanted To meet with Sir William before he should dine. Ley flew to the club, and his message deliver'd In language the plainest his suit could invent ; But so cold was S r William, who said as he shiver'd, 'Fat fighting with Symons was not what he meant. " Oh, how," he exclaimed, " could I thing of a meeting With a lellow whose ;:laims are so horribly dim ? But the rwcal who threaten ;d to give me a beating I'll fight, if you please, Sir, Auel with him." The bargain was struck; of a challenge each full is : Ley, Borthwick, and Robertson twa3dle and write : " Adieu," said the public, " you're not th Arst bullies Who prate about honour, but dont% mean io Oght." One more quotation and we have done. The f°l - is on " Cecil-street, Strand" : " At the top of the street many lawyers abound, Below, at the bottom, the barges are found; Fly, Honesty, fly to a safer retreat, For there's craft in the river, and craft in the street."

PORTUGAL. - _ We have received letters from Lisbon to the 28th of February After an interregnum of 17 days a new Ministry has been ar poihted. The crisis has terminated in the complete triumph of Senor Costa Cabral, who is the new Home Secretary' The Duke da Terceira is President of the Council, but _ ,:th? leading power in the Cabinet will be wielded by Costa COW' The new Minister of Justice is Antonio d'Ageredo Mello e Car' vitho, brother to the second member of the Oporto Junta. This' bully, therefore, may be conceived at having achieved a double triumph. Baron de Tojal is the new 'Minister of Finance—an excellent appointment. The portfolio of Foreign Affairs is held merely ad interim by the Duke oil Terceira. Senor Rodrigo da F. Magalhaes has been to to resume this office, but positively declined. The Marin i ! Department is also filled merely ad interim by the chief clef"' in that office. The policy of the new Administration will not differ mate" rially from that which was displaced by the Oporto revolt:, Its policy with regard to England and all foreign coun tries wilt be identical. The first act of the new Government is so ' what remarkable. It is a demand of the Administrator-6e°' neral of Oporto to specify the sums which be • receliej„, from the Custom-house, and other sources of revenu e, to at the late revolt—by whose order he received them, godlier, they were expended. The object is to legalize these glee transactions by an act of indemnity.. The order to this effecb is signed by the same Costa Cabral who seized the money 15 head of the Junta. M. Cappacini, the Papal Minister, had been presented at Court. The King has declared against accepting the commaad? chief of the army. Thus one of the leading ag ents of tvi' movement in favour of the Charter is entirely defeated. Senor d'Aguilar, returned on Sunday from Madrid, to re: sume his functions as Spanish Ambassador at th e Portugu° Court. No hostile movement on the part of Spain was sr prehended. FAILURE OF MESSRg:WIGNEY' BANK. BRIGHTON, FRIDAY.- - The shock will be severely f elt, as the majority of their customers were the triuetii. men of the town ; and it is generally reported that only a sn' t dividend will be paid. Amongst the sufferers area g re be number of the Brighton fishermen, who have left here for tliv purpose of fishing tor mackerel off Plymouth, and were in habit f sending their money to the bank weekly for sectult; until their return home. These poor f,llewi have from 2 01 ' 0- 80/. each of their hard earnings deposited in the bank' the consequence of the failure, a run was immediately made o n P' two other banks, the Union and the Landon and County eati ng Stock Bank, and this afternoon a highly respectable Alec% b. took place at the Town-hall, for the purpose of expressie P, 08 1; lie confidence in the other banks.
