I votes for the erection of military prisons, rendered necessary by the disuse of the horrible " cat;" the votes for education and military libraries ; the good conduct pay, the regimental savings' banks, and, above all, the allowance to mar ried soldiers, to avoid the demoralization atten . dant on a number of married and single men herding together in the same sleeping-room--an act necessarily destructive of the modesty and feelings of self-respect in the wives of the soldiers, feelings that should be fostered and, cherished to the utmost degree. The most rigid economist, we say, cannot object to such charges, which amount in the whole to 253,0001., that has been imposed since 1835, so that in fact our army estimates for the present year are actually lower by no less than 19,000/. than in 1835, although we have 30,000 troops in addition. Much improvement has also taken place in sanitary matters, by which the general mortality of the troops has been materially lessened, with some few unfortunate exceptions. The most satisfactory part of the statement, however, was that in which the Right Hon. Gentleman bore his testimony to the good conduct of the troops since the practical abolition of corporal punishment. It shows how frivolous were the objections of the martinets who asserted that discipline could not be maintained unless the lash were freely resorted to, who looked upon the British soldier as of an inferior class, who could only be controlled by such brutalizing punishment. It confirms the views of the conqueror of Sinde, the hero of Meeanee and Hyderabad, the Commander-in-Chief of her Majesty's forces in India, who did justice to the characters of his gallant asso ciates, and contended that they were not less re spectable in character or conduct than the soldiers of other nations—that they might be treated as men open to more gentle influences. The Honourable Member for Montrose moved as nunikr of soldiers capable of fighting under the banners of the Sultans, th.l mere fact is a striking contrast to the simultaneous•efforts cf Lord EGLINTON and his colleagues. Happily far the lives of the Poles and for the honour of England the Government does not derive its inspiration from the promoter of cockney tournaments. COLBURN'S AUTHORISED TRANSLATION. N OTICE!

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY NIGHT.—The steamship Sarah Sands has arrived at our port this afternoon, bringing advices to the following dates: —New York, Ist of March; Philadelphia, Ist of March; Boston and Baltimore, 28th ult.; Now Orleans, 25th ult.; Montreal, 24th ult.; Quebec, 23d uit.; and Halifax, 4th instant. The news of this arrival does not possess any poli tical interest. The inauguration of the President was the exciting topic for the moment. In business affairs our advices inform us that there had been little change. The Money Market continued in a satisfactor'y con• dition. Money was by no means scarce, and trading prospects were, on the whole, what may be consi dered good. There was not any material alteration to note in the market for breadstuffs. Flour, grain, Indian corn, and corn meal, are all held firmly, and prices are steady. The following are the quotations : Western Canal flour, 5 dolls. 62F:. to 5 dolls. 75c. per barrel, very firm ; Genessee prime wheat, 1 doll. to 1 dollar 2c. per 601b5.; Southern wheat, 1 dollar 12c. to 1 dollar 14c. per boll ; round yellow Indian corn, 62e. to 64e. per bushel, steady; southern white, 54c. to 56c. per bushel ; Indian meal, 2 dolls. 75c. to 2 dolls. 87ie. per barrel.

The North American steamer Europa has arrived with accounts from New York to the 7th inst. The inaugural address of the new President was delivered to Congress on the sth. It renews the various pledges heretofore made by General Taylor to follow in the footsteps of Washington in the administration of the Go vernment, to exercise no proscription against political opponents who may chance to be holders of public offices, to regard not merely local interests, &c. He also makes the declaration that his country will pre serve a strict neutrality in any national disputes or convulsions that now exist or may hereafter arise in Europe. At the same time he proclaims a deep sym pathy with all struggles for the rights of the people, and the extension of the blessings of liberty. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, MARCH 7. The commercial and money relations are easy and tranquil. The impulse imparted to some of our staples, by the intelligence of the Europa, has subsided, and prices are pretty much the same as before that arrival. Some 400,000 dollars were drawn on account, which will have the effect of relieving the money market. The present deposit in the Sub-Treasury is alone 1,250,000. The rate of exchange on England does not seem to have been raised, as was anticipated would be the result by this operation, and best bills are offered at 74 on London ; although 8 is asked by some drawers large amounts of sterling have been sold during the past few days at from 74 to 71. Paris bills ranged at from 5 25 to 5 32, and even 35 for short sight. The demand for the Stocks, both of the United States and of the States, continues active.

Parliament had reason yesterday evening to thank the Earl of EGLINTON for provoking a discussion by no means characterised, to say the very . least of it, by its decency. It has been the fortune of the Noble Lord—the good or ill fortune, just as he may happen to consider it—to figure before the public, on one or two prior occasions, in rather ridiculous attitudes. But he certainly never contrived to render himself more supremely ludicrous than last night, when he demanded a return showing the nature of the medical treatment received by the Polish refugees dur ing the year ending on the 28th of March, 1849. By a lamentable self-forgetfulness, Lord STANLEY allowed himself to be decoyed into a participation in this invidious and melan choly attack upon the unfortunate. Aware that the benevolence of the nation cannot be diverted from the right channel by arguments of a candid or rational character, the opponents of the grants of as sistance to the miserable exiles from Poland are now actually endeavouring to drive the countrymen of so many heroes to destitution by aspersions more suited to the lips of porters and fishfags than to those of the hereditary aristocrats of England. Scarcely a decade has elapsed since the population of these islands was amused with the pompous eccen tricities upon which Lord EGLINTON squandered so many thoisand pounds sterling—we mean of course the ever-memorable Tournament. How many "starv ing agriculturists" (upon whose hypothetical wants the Noble Lord last evening dilated with such im passioned eloquence) might have been supported by the moneys lavished upon that extravagant exhibition —is a question which we shall not trouble ourselves to estimate even at a conjecture. But it assuredly does strike us as rather out of the limits of good taste for any man who had rendered himself notorious by an act of such absurd and profligate expenditure to quarrel with the Government because a few hundred pounds are devoted annually to the suste nance of an ill-doomed race, driven to our shores by no fault of their own, but by the ruthless cruelties of despotism. Is it de corous, we ask, for a person who has spent so much upon one preposterous tomfoolery to talk about the culpability of the Legislature in de voting a periodical stipend to the aid of individuals groaning under sentence of banishment, and who but for the generosity of the people and the Parliament might perish with hunger or 'lie from want of the commonest items in the Pharmacopoeia. It cannot be forgotten that upon the occasion of the Mock-Tour nament. at Eglinton Castle there were among the knights who rode armed cap-a-pie into the list with their vizors down—such men as the Marquis of WATERFORD and the Prince Louis NAFOLEON. With them, however, the adventure (so time has proved it) was attended merely in sport "in their hot youth," not " when GEORGE THE Tuna) was King," but when Lady SEYMOUR was the Queen of Beauty. They were only going through that plea sant agricultural pastime called "sowing their wild oats." Tutored by experience and ripened in wis dom, the one has become a model landlord in Ireland, while the other has risen into the sagacious and statesmanlike ruler over the great Republican Go vernment of France. The Marquis has devoted the years of his manhood to the amelioration of the sorrows of the peasantry. The PRINCE has ded To be followed by COURT BEAUTIES. Principal characters Messrs. Selby, C.

DUBLIN, MONDAY EVENING.—Lord Londonderry has addressed ,st remarkable circular to his Lordship's tenantry in the north. Making reasonable allowance for the due right of remonstrance and petition against .an obnoxious tax, the Noble Marquis roundly rebukes the tone adopted by certain Noble Lords at recent meetings in Down and Antrim, adding the fol lowing emphatic declaration;—" I have perhaps more right to my opinion than many whom I address, as personally the burden will fall heavier on me, and I was at first fully disposed to resist it; but, could I for one moment believe that the advice tendered at the late meetings in Ulster would he followed, and that not only resistance would be made, but that it is proalaimei that it would take 50,000, if not 500,000 men, to collect this rate-in-aid, I would not only support the measure with all civil interest and power, but as au old soldier I would consider myself bound to enforce the law against my own tenants and adherents; so firmly and irrevocably am I determined ever to uph.dd my loyalty to the Sovereign power and the will of the united Parliament." DREADFUL MURDER . On Saturday night last the house of a man named Robert Arnold, a tenant on the estate of Mr. Ormsby Gore, residing on the lands of Leganormmer, in the parish of Cloone a n d county of Leitrim, was attacked by an armed party, who fired several shots through the windows, whilst Arnold, his wife, child, and uncle, Robert Todd, were eating their supper; one of the shots took fatal effect upon the uncle., who instantly expired.

PRINCESS'S Mademoiselle Nau made her delnit for the season here last evening, in the character of the Syren, in Auber's opera of the same name—a character in which, by her delicious singing and acting, she acquired great fame with the English public some three years since. She has returned to us as fascinating as ever, and the sparkling music of Aubcr was zn , ,st brilliantly given by her last evening. She was encored in the beautiful cavatina in the second act, and in the bravura "I cannot sing." We hail the return of the Syren of the Princess's, and consider ►he triumph of last night as but the prelude to a succession, of brilliant successes. Allen resumed his old character of Scopetto.

The opera was well got up, and was to the full as successful as it was on its first production. cated his intellect to the solution of that zimost inscrutable problem, the extinction of pauper ism. Unhappily for the Earl of EGLINTON, he has employed the same interval so indifferently, that we find him, on the 19± of March, 1849, insulting the refugees from Poland by insinuations that he should have spat out of his mouth in the lobby of the House of Peers rather than have uttered in the presence of the Lord Chancellor of England. Profligate at one time in his own disbursements, the Noble Earl is niggardly at another in regard to the disbursements from the Exchequer. ACTIONS IN THE PUNJAUB.—Another map, most admirably timed, has just issued from the establish ment of Mr. Wyld, at Charing-cross. It represents in five compartments—Cavalry affair on the left bank of the Chenab (22d of November, 1848) —A ct i on at Sudoowalla (December 3d, 1848)—Action near Soo rujkoond (November 7th, 1848)—Moultan and its Environs, together with the Siege of that formidable and almost impregnable fortifications. In one of the last mentioned there is one spot which will be looked to with peculiar interest, showing, as it does, the entrenched camp of the heroic Edwardes. The ac tion near Soorujkoond is the one in which he led over his troops against the enemy with so much daring and success. Every word and line upon the map is fraught with deep and immediate interest. While others are filled with sensibility on the consideration of the misfortunes of the op pressed " Pules, Lord EGLINT ON an d L or d ST ,N. LEY would examine their dcctors' bills with eyes as scrutinizing as those of a broker appraising the furniture of a house distrained by its landlord. While some are lamenting over the adverse fortunes of a race whose ancestors were the saviours of Christendom under the walls of Vienna, my Lord EGLINTON is hungering and thirsting with an insatiable curiosity after the details of the medical treatment of the refugees. He would pry into the exact nature of the ills that their flesh is heir to, while others would grant them unconditionally the aid of a generous nation. He would subject them to 1 a severe cross-examination before soothing their mheries, while others would apostrophize their un fortunate country as AL LAMARTINE, twenty years ago, addressed Madame EMILE DE GIRARDIN :- 66 Pour moi, ouand la memoire erequ e ton image, Je to vole, Nail 6 - eint par l a vL ill e et les pleurs, Sans courunne et sans lyre, et penchant ton visage Sur un lit de douleurs !"

ROYAL SURREY TUEATRE.—The lesseeship of this theatre has now devolved on Mr. Shepherd alone, who promises a higher class of entertainments than those which, except. at intervals, have served to delight the transpontine public. As the taste for music and the lyrical drama has spread among the higher and more wealthy clir,'ses, the paseion for the drama proper has been more keenly developed among the middle and lower. The success of Mr. Phelps at Sadler's W e ip. , end of Mrs. Warner and Mr. Watts at the Marylebone, prove what may be done with a one shilling and two shilling public by the stimulus of superior performances. If, the quality - being preserved, the character of those performances be more adapted to modern ideas of taste, it is to be hoped that a permanent foundation might be laid for the development of that dramatic talent which unquestionably exists in the country. As we construe Mr. Shepherd's professions, infer that he aims at something of this kind, and if so, we wish him success. We bear of engagements of Mr. Anderson, Mrs. War ner, a new tragedian, together with Mr. W. H. Harrison and an operatic. force. is the tribute of humanity—it is the token of the gratitude with which England, as a Christian nation, remembers the heroism of JOHN SOBIESKI and his companions in arms, when they saved Europe from a triumphant incursion of the 31ussulmen. withdraw the help afforded by our Government during so many years to the refugees from Lithuania would, moreover, by this time be a grievous act of injustice, seeing that we have by our pt eceding conduct accustomed those Exiles to count uFort the charities of England as upon a certainty. At the very period when the Earl of EGLINTON and other distinguished philanthropists are declaiming against the good treatment of these unhappy fo reigners, the Sublime Porte is extending his protec tive arms to them with a cordiality that should put those Christians to the blush. A firman of the Divan announces to the banished children of Lithuania,. l of Gallicia, and of Posen, that shelter and rank will be afforded them at Constantinople and, although the motive is evidently to increase the THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING-, MARCH, 20, 1849. THE IMPRISONMENT OF THE REV. MR. SHORE. country arising from the unknown state of the law. The meeting was called to express their sympathy with Mr. Shore. It was to him a pleasant task to state how right it was that they should express sympathy with Mr. Shore for the inju-lice tie had stiff red in this wetter. Mr. Shen-, he begged to remind them, was a mi nister of unblemished reputation in that church over which he had so long presided, namely for ten years, and which was gathered together solely by his labours. • lie had been himself in his pulpit, and witnessed the prosperity of his con gregalion. After ten years of pubic exesci.se of his ministry, to which he was introsuessi erelate, who coked him if he was eate,f oy 11 i iiost to the ministry, and hclieviiig he ate, so called to that Church, a stranger arrived in Bsrry• Pomeroy, and assumed the management et that psrish, who had no sympathy with the parish ioners, anti announced to them dist M . Shore must re sign the oversieht of that flock which he had gathered from the wilderness, when this gentleman refused to nominate his Rev rend Friend (Mr. James Shore). There were reasons for reviewing that decision if the Bishop had represented to Mr. Cousins the wrong that might result from that step ; but, un happily, the Bishop of Exeter did not exercise his in• fluence to counteract that proceeding; but instead of that he acted with Mr. Cousins in taking that step. There might be no mental or moral infirmity in Mr. Shore's conduct, but the Bishop deprived the act of re fusing him a license ef the censure which would other. wise have elicited by putting it open Mr. Cousins. Mr. Shore had no I:het - native but defier to leave the Established Church or the ovt rsight of the flocks among whom he had so long and beneficially ministered. Ms. Shore took the wily step which re• mained for him to take, namely, to secede from the Established Church. He foetid by the discipline of that Church, of which ho was re minister, he might be torn from bis flock for no misconduct or error in doctrine. That he rightly thought justified him in seceding from that Church. He was cited into the Court of Arches. Would persecution be likely to make Mr. Shore review the decisien to which he hod come? That was exceedingly unlikely to be the result of suunnonibg him before the Ecclesiaseical Court. For his part he would never resist the operatiest of law which inflicted penalties upon him for doing right; he would suffer it with the meekness of a Christian. No other charge was laid to Mr. Shore than that he preached as a Noncon formist minister. Those proceedings had resulted in Mr. Shore's incarceration its a prison, from a motive which he (Mr. Baptist Noel) could not . help calling a spirit of revenge, and it w as fo r th em to show their sympathy with him by seeking to effect his liberation. Was Mr. Shore to suffer still in prison for the share which he had been obliged to take in those proceedings ? He hoped that a retrospective clause would be inserted into the Bill recently introduced into the House of Corn mons, which would prevent not only all ministers who had acted like Mr. Shore, but also himself (Mr. Noel) from being shut up in prison.—(Cheers.) Perhaps there was only one man on the bench of oishops who could say that while he was, in the course of nature soon to appear before his God, he had shut up one of Christ's ministers in prison.—(Cheers.) He solemnly trusted there would be a noble monument raised to this the last act of religious bigotry and perse cution; and if the costs were to be paid, let every true man in this country subscribe a shilling apiece to a " Bishop of Exeter fund."—(Loud laughter.) He trusted the Bishop of Exeter might yet live long enough to testify by his 'conduct his sorrow tor the violence done to an uneffending minister of Christ, by incarcerating him in a prison. The Bishop, he hoped, had got some feeling akin to that charity -which fills the breasts of the celestial inhabitants, and that he would peaceably and, gravely say that he would not impose upon a poor man who had already suffered too much the burden of these costs, but would pay them hicnselr.—(Cheers.) The Latin proverb should prevail in this vs in all other cases—" Summum jus summa injuriu."—(Cheers.) The Rev. Gentleman concluded by moving the following resolution :—" That this meeting learn with unqualified d.ssetisfacdon, that the canons of the year 1603, with all their strange peculiarities, have still in their applies-ion to the clergy of the Established Church the three of law; and that al though such a procedure as theifshop of Exeter has taken upon him stands almost alone for nearly two centuries, the successive decisions of courts have only confirmed the hopelessness of Mr. Shore's case as a sufferer, and shown the liability of every clergyman who may secede from the Church of England, and subsequently preach the gospel, to the loss of personal liberty, and to the enor mous expenses of a process by which his imprisonment would be ultimately secured.—(Cheers.) The resolution was seconded by the Rev. Mr. BROCKE, of Norwich, and csrried with acclamation. The Rev. M.'. BURNET moved the third resolution— " That as a Bill under the care of the Hon. Mr. Bou verie has been already read a second time in the House of Commons for the relief of all clergymen who may come under the oppressive operation of the penal canon, and as it is understood that a clause will be introduced in , o that Bill having a retrospective regard to the case of Mr. Shore; this meet• ing cordially adopts a petition to both Houses of Perlis.- meet, that some measure of righteous provision for the full liberty of the British subject may be carried through all its successive states, and be made statute law with the least possible delay." The Rev. Mr. CRAIG seconded the resolution. The Rev. Dr. BgAUDIONT, Wesleyan minister, moved a vote of thanks to the Chairman, which was adopted with acclamation, and the immense assembly, amount ing to nearly 4,000 persons, separated at three o'clock. MEETING AT EXE rEit HALL.--(THIS DAY.) A public meeting was held this'day in the large room ; of Exeter-hall with a view to adopt such measures as F may lead to the liberation of the Rev. J. Shore, M.A., now imprisoned in the gaol of St. Thomas, at Exeter, at the suit of the Bishop of Exeter. The meeting was convened for eleven o'clock, but long before that hour the body of the hail was pretty well filled by an audience the larger portion of whom were ladies. The side galleries, which were exclusively set apart for ladies, were also filled som 'hoe before the chair was taken. The platform was occupied principally by Dissenting ministers, amongst whom we ohserv, d the R'-v. J. H. Hinton, the Rev. Mr. Eckert, the Rev. Dr. Leirchild, the Rev. Messrs. P.icharebon, Craig, Ainslie, Altor, Dr. Henderson, Burn, Mannering, Ashton, Prout, Dr. Per. gusts!), Wilkinson, and many others. At eleven o'clock the chair was taken by CHARLES LUsrlitiGToN, Esq , M.P., amid loud cheers. He said ' hk felt at all times very incompetent to address a large public meeting like that bsfoee him in that style of eloquence, rhetorical argument, and brilliant manner that they were accustomed to in the addresses of his reverend friends around him ; but he would not plead ignorance of the circumstances of the case respecting which they were assembled toge ther.—(Here the Hon. Gentleman was interrupted by the cheers which greeted the entrance to the meeting of the Hon. and Rev. Baptist Neel.) He was delighted to be so interrupted.—(Cheers.). He was not ignorant of the circumstances of Mr. Shore's case, for he had had the satisfaction a few nights ago of attending a meeting on the same subject as that on which they were called in Wickliffe Chapel,Whitechapel, and that togethert hatedifi oct ewday, was filled up to the very ceiling, and the expression of disgust and execration at what had been the misereble treatment of the Rev. Mr. Shore, was unanimous. Ho understood Mr. Shore, feeling con scientious scruples at continuing to preach in the Es tablished Church, officiated at a Dissenters'chapel, and for doing so incurred the censure of the Ecclesiastical Courts. He would stand up against those steel hearted prelates. —(Cheers.) Throughout the length and breadth of the land the public feeling was spreading against the parties by whom this persecution had been instituted. A Bill had been introduced into the House of Commons to put an end to proceedings of that kind. It had yet to go before the House of Lords, and if it was thrown out, the prelates in that House would draw down the reprobation of every enlightened man in England.—(Cheers.) The meeting might rely upon his best exertions to support the Bill in its future stages through the House; and he hoped to be able to introduce a re treepective clause int o th e Bill which would include in its operation the case of the Rev. Mr. Shore, for whose lib e ration they were there to adopt measures:.— (Cheers.) The Hon. Gentleman called upon the Rev. Mr. Hinton to offer prayer, which having been concluded, The Rev. Mr. BINNEY said he had been re quested to propose the following resolution—" That this meeting having fully considered the case of the prosecution and imprisonment of the Rev. James Shore, affirms that ho has stroug claims to the cordial sympathy of all the friends of civil and reli gious liberty, and resolves that an affectionate address from this meeting, signed by the chairman and the committee, be presented to him at Exeter by such deputation as the committee shall appoint."—(Cheers.) He could hardly tell how it happened that he had been brought to come forward thus early and prominently in this matter, but there he was, and he had got the work to do. —(Laughter.) He hoped he did not come there as a partizan of dissent—(Hear, hear)—or as a mere partizan and advocate of James Shore. He wanted to look at James Shore, Henry of Exeter, Sir Herbert Jenner Fust, Lord Denman, and the Privy Council as so many institutions.—(Cheers.) He had a most unfor tunate tendency of mind. He was always feeling there was an adversary looking over his shoulder.—(Loud laughter.) That was a very bad habit for a mere advocate. He was going to try to persuade- them tc pa's the resolution before them with honour and honesty. He had no objection to the weak points in the case being noticed. He was to look at the result which Mr. Shoie, whether right or wrong, had con trived to bring out as the condition of the law. He should put the case fully and honestly before them, weak points and all.—(Laughter.) Mr. Shore was a deacon and priest in the Church of England; he took priest's orders in 1829, and was then curate of the parish of Berry-Pomeroy, in the diocese of Exeter, under the incumbent, Mr. Edwards, and officiated there until 1832. - The Duke of So merset built a chapel at Bridgetown, in the e, a dissent ing chapel same parish and diocese. That chapel was licensed but not chapel,consecrated; and it it h.s might be become aco chapele a of dissenting again. Now if Baptist Noel's chapel had been his own property he might have sold it to him (Mr. Binney), and why should not that reverend gentleman, if tie chose to leave the Established Church, be permitt e d t o m en preach in a dissenting chapel? The nomination to the chapel at Bridgetown was given to Mr. Shore; shortly afterwards, Mr. Edwards, the vicar, died, and a Mr. Brown succeeded him. There was no fresh nomination, and so Mr. Shore continued the minister of the chapel for nine years afterwards. Nine years was a long time anywhere, but in the diocese of Exeter it was a little eternity. In 1843 Mr. Brown exchanged livings with a Mr. Cousins. On Mr. Cousins coming into the possession of the living, the Bishop wrote to him to say he should expect a fresh nomination from Mr. Cousins, or else he could not continue Mr. Shore as the minister. Mr. Cousins refused eventually to nominate Mr. Shore, and the Bishop, in consequence, refused to continue the licence to Mr. Shore. He (Mr. Binney) though the head and front of Mr. Shore's offending against the Bishop might be summed up in four lines from a hymn by Dr Watts— " The men that keen thy law with care, And medic to thy word, Grow wiser than their bishops are, And better know the Lord.' (Great cheering.) Well, then, Mr. Shore was si ienced fir six sr:toning, and for no moral offence what ever. The Bishop admitted that himself, on the trial of Mr. Latimer, at Exeter. Mr. Shore was eventually obliged to flee from the parish, to avoid the persecution of the Bishop. " The hireling fleeth because he is a hire ling, and careth not for the flock."—(Cheers.) In 1832. the chapel was registered as a place of Protestant Non the r eques t o f t h e agent co°fatfherinistTv Duke of Somerset, by and Mr. Shore preached fir a Sunday or two previous to his having qualified himself by his secession from the Ch urch. T h a t was Mr. Shore's first false step. I n that step, th e D u k e o f Somerset, his agent, and Mr. Sh ore, committed a great blunder and a wrong. But on the 16th March, a fort night after registering the chapel, Mr. Shore felt it right to put himself into his tight position ; he went voluntarily before a magistrate, and took the oaths and signed thaethen st oo d as a separat i st lion, under the Tolerati on A c t, an d had the rights and privil eges o f a N onconform i st declaration; Church, minister. He then considered he was a perfectly free man, and he then continued to use the prayers as many other clergymen did; but being also a tree man, he made some alterations in those prayers in using them. The Bishop remonstreted with him, and kindly in'ormed him that ho had appointed a commission of six or eight clergymen to come to Totnes, and to sit in a room there of a house called " The Seven Stars," not the seven stars of the Apocalypse, and to call him before them to answer for a misdemeanour. The commission hod to inquire whether there were prima facie grounds for fur ther proceedings, and they returned the Bishop the reply that there were ground s for further proceedings. Mr. Shore was then cited by the Bishop in the Arches' Court. The I3ishep went on the indelibility of holy orders, on the principle of "once a clergyman, ale ays a clergyman." The sentence of the Judge of the Arches' Court was that Mr. Shure was thenceforth not to preach in the diocese of Exeter, or in the province ot Canter bury; and he had to pay the costs. Now Mr. Shore was in a position to say to the Bishop, " Do what you like, but keep your hands ossa_a bishop is to be no striker."—(Laughter and cheers.) Well, Mr. Shore said, " Here lam in the broad realm of England. Bri tannia rules the waves'— (Laughter) —cannot Victoria rale the bishops?"—(Roars of laughter.) Well, Mr. Shore could not Pa x the Bishop's costs. and Mr. Shore carried the matter into the Queen's Bench, and Lord Denman pronounced it as his opinion that Mr. Shore could not divest himself of a priest in hi ly orders.--- (Hissing.) Mr. Shore would appeal directly to Caesar —(A laugh)—and he appealed to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council; and the Privy Council said nothing, but referred the matter back to the Arches' Court, just as a judge said to a culprit, E " You reust go to the place from w h ence you cat"' --(Lau g h ter.) The Bishop's costs amounted to 180/. The Judge of the Arches' Court said, that by continuing to preach out of the Church he was guilty not only against his diocesan but against the authority of the Church, and admoni s h e d Mr. Shore to a b s t a i n f rom offending yin like manner in future. He condemned Mr. Shore in the costs, and that was the final decision of a Court Christian.—(Laughter ) Now that w as th e case . The head and front of Ai r . Shore's offending was the preaching as a Nonconformi st minister. H e h a d pa id every shillingofhis own costs (Chee rs ) — o f t hat appeal ; buthe would he not pay the Bish o p' s cos ts, because of considered they were incurred, th oug h un der the formlaw , by what he called con s t ruct i ve persecution. He (Mr. BinnWell, how was ay) Mr. did Shore to be go t ou t o f p r ison? • not think there was any power in the kingdom that could liberate Mr. Shore without payment of the costs. Three classes must pay them. In the first place th e Bishop.—(Laughter.) The se cond party was fighting as party was the evan gelical clergy,l whose battle Mr. Shore really as Mr. Gorham was. The poet Wordsworth had said, and Mr. Shote might re-echo the sentiment— " The prison into which we doom ourselves No prison is." —(Cheers.) Thirdly, there was a certain sort of liberal politicians, who male gran d speeches in the House of Commons. Caring for the Church as they did, th ose parties should fi rst s i gn a cheque for those costs, and send it down to Exeter. The Earl of DuceE seconded the resolution, and in doing so said he thought the simple way of showing his sympathy w i t h M r. Shore was to come down t o t h e ting and contribute his mite to the fund for liberat ing Mr. Shore. This proceeding was a great attempt to oppress the consciences of the people. The Rev. GEORGE H. STODDART spoke in support of the resolution. The resolution was then put to the meeting, and carried with acclamation. A letter of condolence to the Rev. Mr. Shore was read by the Rev. Mr. .Aessale to the meeting, and signed by the Chairman, on behalf of the meeting. The [fem. aed Bev. BAPTIST Nose, rose to move the second :resolution amidst loud cheers. He had first to thank them for their cordial reception. His Reverend Friend who had introduced those proceedings had brought powerfully before thew tho discredit to this HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.) The House sat again to-day to hear appeals. The Peers present were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, Lord Campbell. and Viscount Sidney. M`EWEN AND OTHERS V. SMITH AND OTHERS, -JUDG• IIENT. Their LORDSHIPS gave judgment to-day in this case, which was heard before their Lordships a short time since. The case came before their Lordships, upon appeal, from the judgalent of the Court of Session, and the facts upon which the appeal arose may be thus shortly stated:—On the ISth August, 1843, the respon dents, as agents for Messrs. James Hoped( and Co., of Liverpool, agreed to sell James Bowie and Co., mer chants in Glasgow, 42 hogsheads of sugar, whi c h h a d arrived at Greenock by the St. Mary, from Ja maica, and were then lying in a warehouse in their names. According to the original bar gain, the sugar was to be paid for in cash, under an allowance of the usual discount of 2 per cent., agreeably to the sale note. Messrs. Bowie and Co. subsequently applied to the respondents to accept a bill at four months from date of sale, in place of cash. To this the respon dents, under the authority of their principals, agreed ; the hogsheads were accordingly v eigh. d, and price was calculated ; an invoice was made out from the weights, and this invoice, with a bill for the amount, was handed to Messrs. Bowie and Co. for acceptance ' but the bill has never been returned to the respondents. Upon the agree ment being entered into, the respondents addressed to Mr. Alexander. their agent in Greenock, a letter autho rising him to deliver the sugar to etessre. Bowie and Co., but this letter was never presented to Mr. Alexander, nor did Bowie and Co.'s agent attend when the sugar was weighed, although the) had notice of the time, nor was any demand made upon Mr. Alexander for delivery of the goods until the evening of the 25th of Sept, following. During the interval the sugars remained in the name of the respondents, and subject exclusively to their di,posal and control. On the 25th r f September Bowie and Co. stopped payment, and their estate was sequestrated. On the day following, upon this fact coming to the knowledge of the respondents —upon the morning of the 26th of Septem ber—they wrote to their agent, Mr. Alexander, coun termanding their instructions previously given to him to deliver the sugar to James Bowie, which letter was re ceived by Mr. Alexander, in Greenock, early on the forenoon of that day. It appeared that on the evening of the 25th of September, after Messrs. Bowie and Co.'. bankruptcy was known in Glasgow, but not at Greenock, the appellants, or some one on their behalf, called at Mr. Alexander's place of business, and presented the I respondents' mandate to Bowie and Co. Mr. Alexander himself was not present, but his clerk appears in his absence, and without his au thority, to have written out a note stating that the sugars in question had been delivered, of that date, to the appel lant. No such delivery, however, actually took place. The goods remained in the warehouse, in the name and under the exclusive control of the respondents. In con sequence of their instructions to Mr. Alexander, he took immediate steps to prevent delivery being made of the goods in question to Messrs. Bowie and Co., or any one claiming in their right, and the sugars were, on the day following, removed to another warehouse in Greenock, whore they now stood in the name and suflect to the dis posal of the respondents. The suit originated in a pe tition presented by the appellants to the sheriff of Ren frewshire for delivery of the sugars. The Sheriff decided against them. The Lord Ordinary affirmed the sheriff's judgment, and the majority of the judges of the Court of Sessions, agreed with the Lord Ordinary that the re spondents were entitled to the sugars. From that de cision the appellants appealed to the House of Lords. The LORD CHANCELLOR, in giving judgment, went at some length into the facts of the case and the law upon the subject, and concluded by advising their Lordships to affirm the judgment of the Court below, with costs. Lord BROUGHAM and Lord CA.MPRELL were of the same opinion. Judgment of the Court of Session affirmed, with costs. MATHESON V. ROSS. The arguments on this case, which were commenced yesterday, were resumed to-day. The case came before their Lordships upon appeal from the decision of the Court of Session in Scotland, in which a suit had been instituted for work and labour done. The son of the plaintiff in that suit had drawn up from his father's ledger an account of the debts and credits, making out that there was a balance due of 68/. On the other side of the same paper was an acknowledgment of the receipt of this sum of money. The piece of paper was afterwards separated into two pieces. The parties subsequently disputed the balance, whether it amounted to about a sum of 91. 17s. 3d., or exceeded that amount, and prccess was instituted thereon. At the trial of the cause, the two pieces of paper were tendered in evidence and received, subject to a motion in the court. The case was brought before the court, which decided that the acknowledgment of payment being unstamped, was not receivable iu evidence. This appeal was brought against that decree. There was an objection to this appeal of a preliminary nature—namely, that the Jury Act for Scotland did not allew an appeal to the House of Lords, when the matter was merely that of refusing or granting a rule for a new trial. Sir F. KELLY and Mr. ANDEESON for the appellant contended first that the paper was properly receivable; and, secondly, that the Jury Act did not apply in cases in which, as here, the question of law had been reserved for the consideration of the Court, with power to direct in what manner the verdict should be entered. Tho further arguments in this case occupied the Wirt the whole arguing. , - ' • 1 il.toLitat t,1115 LONDON, TUESDAY, MARCH 20, 1849. The Secretary of War last night, in submitting the Army Estimates for the ensuing year, entered into a very clear And satisfactory statement respect• ing the improvements that have been effected of late years in the management of our military establish ments. Much has undoubtedly been done. The situation of the soldier has been materially ame liorated ; his health and morals are now in some degree thought of. He is looked upon as a human being, and the brutalizing and degrading punishment that was so frequently resorted to in former years, if not altogether abolished, is yet very rarely resorted to, and then only for crimes of an infamous and disgraceful character. There has also appeared an inclination to keep down the non-efThctive branch of the service. Many reductions have already been made, not perhaps to the extent we might have desired, but such changes must be gradually, almost imperceptibly, brought forward. It is by keeping a steady eye to all vacancies, and abolishing all unnecessary- expenses, that economy can ultimately be obtained. The main question to be decided last night related to the numerical force to be employed during the forthcoming year. It was proposed on the part of the Government "that a number of land forces not exceeding 103,254 men (exclusive of the men employed in the territorial possessions of the East India Company);commissioned and non-commissioned officers included, be maintained for the service of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, from the let day of April, 1349, to the 31st day of March, 1850:' The night Honourable Secretary stated that it had been the intention of the Government to pro pose a reduction of 10,000 men in the numbers en rolled last year. The recent intelligence from India had, however, led to some moiiiications. When the reconnt of the sanguinary s ki rm i s h at Rain nugg ur arrivalit was deemed prudent to reinforce the Indian army. Three regiments of infantry, amounting to 3,300, were selected f or t h e serv i c e, and it was conseque n t l y decided that 7,000 men only should be discharged. The subsequent tidings of the still more fatal conflict at Chillian_ wallah rendered an additional force advisable, and two other regiments were placed under orders for India, and the reductions were consequent l y limited to 5,000 men. So it was stated by the Right non. Gentleman; but from the numbers voted a more considerable diminution would appear-113,847 men were borne on the army estimates last year, while the number demanded by the Government, and even tually carried, amounted to 103 ; 254 only, or 10,494 less than the number voted last year. There was altogether a decrease in the expenditure on the non effective service of 48,0291., and of 330,5291. in the half-pay and non-effective votes, showing in the whole a saving of 378,624/. The Right Honourable Gentleman subsequently entered into a comparison between. the military ex penditure for the model year 1835 (which Mr. C°BnEN has selected as the basis of his budget) and the present votes, and there certainly does not appear to be much ground for Complaint so far as the army estimates are concerned. It is true that the re are 30.000 men more in the ser vice at present than in 1835. The streno-th of the army h as been materially increased, and it is now in a much more efficient condition than it was in the ^ former year ; but the increase of expenditure i s by no means proportioned to the i ncreased force. I n 1835 the gross charge on the army estimates was 5,906,78 9 /. The gross charge for the army during the ensuing year i.s 6,142,211/, the difference bei ng only 234,000/., for which we have, as already stated, 30,000 additional troops. But this is not all: many charges have since 1835 been transferred from other departments to the army estimates, so that if the same subjects that are now included had then r • - ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY , STONHOUSE v.

William Curtis, aged 20, was indicted. for stealing a halt (Town pi , ce, the property of Mary Hunter Mayo, stealing a sixpence, the property of Laura Bond, and sty ling the sum of soveupence, the moneys of Charles Driscott. Tire case of the half crown was first taken, in which it appeared that on the evening of the Bth of March, the prosecutrix was walking wilf some friends in Ecelestone-street, Belgrave square, when the prisoner, who was hawking prints about the streets, followed 11(1-, and teased her to buy a lot, which he offered to sell for sixpence. She repeate ,, ly refused to purchase, but at lcrigth she consented to huy the lot of them for sixpence, it the prisoner could give her change of half•a crown. He said he could do so; but, on receiving the coin, he refused to give her either the change or the prints, iipisting that she bud bargained to buy a dozen of the prints for three shill igs, and he must have one shilling more for them. Jr Lever had the prints in her 'hands; he refused to let r chem. She bad agreed to purchase, anti, while if altercation was proceeding, a gentleman who-hail' witnts'e t trio transaction gave the prisoner into custody. The facts we re not materially affected by the prisoner's defence.

He (the Jude) had looked over the prints, which were common trumpery thi gs, really worth nothing, and instead of being twelve differ ent prints in a set, they were nearly all ou the same subject, or copies of the same engraving. The jury found him Guilty. The other cases against the prisoner were of a similar character; but The ASSISTANT JUDGE said 'that it WaS not worth while to try him on the other indictments. In both the cases he had obtained the money as in this one, and had refused to give the prints. His Lordship then called a police•constable, who said that five years ago the prisoner had been pursuing the same course in the same neigh. bourhood. The Judge sentenced him to imprisonment, with hard labour, for three months, but the next time of conviction he should be transported. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-- 7 ( THIS DAY.

Railway shari s continued very heavy. The arrivals from Portugal, together with the ordi nary. Coetineetal mails and the expresses from Liver pool, coupled tsith the hourly expectation of the receipt of later ece from India, have kept City people quite on tht qui ri ve , b u t rea ll y, as tar as would appear, without any insist rof importance having reached.
