" How fearfully has ! SUMMARY OF AND Vut)ltc eptutott, " Who runs ?nay read." FOREIGN. The Levant Mail has arrived, bringing advices from Alexandria of the 6th, from Constantinople of the 7th, from Smyrna of the 9th, and from Malta of the 18th inst. The news cannot be condensed in a. few sentences here, and will be found in detail in another part of The Sun. From the Turkish capital we have the satisfactory in timation that he Porte will listen to the representations of the great Powers, and recall Omar Pacha, the Aus trian renegade, whose sway in Syria has produced such disastrous results. It is considered probable that a son Emir Beschir will be the successor of Oscar. The lonian Parliament opened at Corfu on the Ist 'mat.. and on the 3d the new Lord High Commissioner delivered his speech. The finances he admitted to be much involved, the expenditure having exceeded the re venue. He mentions various reductions to relieve the debt of upwards of 150,0001., and demands the authoriza tion to sell all public property of every kind, and to put an end to the grain department, and to leave the trade in wheat free, like that in all other kinds of grain. The accounts from Malta state that on the 17th inst. the jury acquitted Mr. John Levick and Lieut. Antonio Mattei, the tbrmer as principal, and the latter as his second, in the late fatal dueL Mr. Fellowes returned to Malta on the 14th from his voyage of research in Asia Minor. The Augsburgk Gazette gives a full account of the troubles at Ibraila. On the 22d, the States voted an ad dress hostile to the Government. On the same evening, the jnsnrrection broke out at Ibraila. A lieutenant of cavalry was first shot ; but his death aroused the colonel who commanded, and who was able to repress the muti neers, and take fifteen of them. The Semaphore de Marseille of the 24th inst. brings news from Algiers of the 20th. The Governor-General continued to receive propositions of peace from the dif ferent tribei which had hitherto held out for Abd-el- Kader. On the 17th General Changarnier returned to Belidah from an incursion on the territory of the Had joutQs, bringing Kith him 480 prisoners and 3,000 head of cattle. A difference exists between the Porte and France on the subject of the new Consuls of the latter Power. Botta, a son of the historian, has been named Consul at Alossul, in Mesopotamia. The Porte refuses to sanction the appointment, on the ground that the French have no commercial interests whatever at Mossul, but merely re ligious ones, which they want to take advantage of. PUZSLXC The Chronicle thus reverts, in just and forcible terms, to that villainous impost, the income tax:—" Not that there is the least probability of Sir Robert Peel's adepting any amendments tendir.g to make the tax bear fairly upon the different classes of society. As the reviewer truly observes, this is an extreme case of class legis lation.' It is an injustice, and it is intended to be au injustice. Render the impost fair and equal, and it ceases to be what Sir Robert Peel wants. Ile no longer finds in it a propitiatory sacrifice to the power of agri cultural monopoly. Justice and equality would be a great inconvenience to him. They would mar his Par liamentary and Ministerial tactics. Be wants a wrong in the income tax to support the wrong in the Corn-law, and overbalance the right in the new adjustment of the tariff. Impartiality in his scheme would be an imper tinent intrusion, not less offensive than that of the honest man in the closet of Dr. Caius. The tax is better let alone in its integrity of iniquity." The Morning Herald says :—" There can now, we presume, be no longer any doubt as to the value of votes at Cambridge during the elections to return Members to represent that borough in the last and present Parlia ments, or of the estimation in which the crime of bribery is held by the venal electors of that town. Double votes on either side of politics are worth 101., and bribery is all a parcel of stuff and nonsense I' To re present Cambridge is then, truly, not a very enviable distinction, no matter whether it be enjoyed by Mr. C. M. Sutton and Sir Alexander Grant, or Lord Cosmo Russell and Mr. Foster ; it is a distinction which, if the House of Commons did its duty, would be for some years at least impossible of attainment." The Advertiser, after alluding to the sanguine expec tations formed of Sir R. Peel, when he succeeded to office last year, goes on to say :—" But Sir Robert has anni hilated all thpe favourable anticipations, and the income tax now stands exposed in nude and hideous deformity as the most unjust infliction with which the most des potic of its governments ever visited the country. A measure which leaves the country no alternative but a quiet endurance of public robbery, or the overthrow of the Ministry which has proposed it." The following is from the Times :—" Our attention has been more than once called to the delay which takes place in the administration of justice, one of the causes of which has not, we believe, been hitherto the subject of public censure—we mean the increased and increas ing length of forensic speeches. We have heard of judges, in former times, dispatching twenty or five and twenty causes a day upon an average ; whereas at present, if the causes be not undefended, the most experienced judge will scarcely dispose of more than four or five. Perhaps to a certain extent the exami nation of witnesses may be more laborious and search ing—perhaps more trifling, and pushed more into col lateral subjects than heretofore ; but certain it is that the eloquence of the bar is distinguised by a prolixity unknown to former times. There are persons now living who can remember the very few words in which ordinary cases were opened by Lord Erskine. In his day the speeches of counsel in general did not occupy more than ten minutes or a quarter of an hour on both sides, and in cases of unusual magnitude or interest Lord Erskine's rarely exeeeded an hour ; whereas at present there are few cases seriously contested in which the leading counsel on both sides confine the range of their rhetoric within the space which that celebrated ad vocate required for his defence of Lord George Gordon. Now, as a judge generally sits about six hours in the day, it follows that he cannot try six, or even five causes, if the speeches on both sides together occupy an hour in eivit cause." IVIONET-TIL.B.DE-C OMMEIRC33. A meeting of the creditors of the Messrs. Wigney's, took place at the Brighton Town-hall, on Monday : two large debts, one for 2,017/. and a second for 2,3131. were proved, as also a third for 301. ; after which the meeting adjourned to ten o'clock to-day. The affairs of the sugar factory in Scotland are said to be very complicated, and a balance-sheet cannot be produced for some time : the assets are not likely to be more than able to pay the ex penses of working the commission. 14X.ECTIONEERING, Continued indisposition has compelled Mr. Chalmers, who has represented the Montrose district of burghs since August, 1537, to adopt the resolution of retiring from Parliament. Mr. Joseph Hume, it is said, has re fused to stand. Mr. D. W. Jobson, who has published a work on the French Revolution, has offered himself as a candidate to represent the burghs. INTAVAX. AND MILITARY. The payment of the out-pensioners of Chelsea Hos pital will be in future performed by captains selected from the half-pay list. This plan will be put on expe riment in North Britain first, where ten eiticers of that rank are to be posted. Helmets of German silver are to be substituted in the Household Brigade for the bearskin caps. The Ist and 2d Life Guards are to have a white horse-hair plume added ; and those of the Royal regiment of Horse Guards a red plume. They will be worn for the first time on her Majesty's next birth-day. LAW AND roLicz. A city policeman, named Herbert Gedv,,;n, was charged at Guildhall, yesterday, with stealing a silk cloak, time piece, and some calico, from Sarah Lewis, keeper of a marine-store shop : owing to some present defect in the evidence, the prisoner was remanded to Friday. Three young men, named Green, Wilcot, and Wilkin son, appeared at Marylebone yesterday, to answer the charge of stealing a d: , nkey and cart, the property of a costermonger. The prosecutor not wishing to press the charge, they were fined 10s. for the damage they had done him, and discharged. Edward Moore, a lad of 18, was charged at Worship street yesterday with having stolen a variety of articles of wearing apparel from the persons of different chil dren. The prisoner was committed for trial on six charges. TINE AMTS. A table of large dimensions, exhibiting a series of eight representations of the finest ancient and modern buildings in Rome, has just been executed for the Court of Russia by the Chevalier Barbell, of Rome. SPORTING. The Easter-Monday hunt took place yesterday with the Royal Stag-hounds, when Hightlyer, a bold deer, was started from Stoke-common, near Windsor. It ran from Burnham Beeches on to Fulmer, and after a run of an hour and a half was taken at the Marquis of Westminster's seat, Moor Park, in Hertfordshire, about 100 being in at the finish. The private meet, for to.. morrow, has been arranged for Salt-hill. The " ancient hunting of the stag," at Epping, which, in former times, "his Lordship of the City did, with divers members of the corporation," attend and patronize. but which has been decreasing for the last ten years, has appeared in no shape this Easter. Some few scores of old people attended yesterday, as usual, at the ancient turning-out spot, north east of the ten-mile stone, but neither the well-known covered cart, nor the stag dressed out in ribands, came through the forest of Epping. COURT-TABITIONABLE. The arrival of the illustrious visitors to the Duke of Wellington is deferred until Wednesday, when her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent will come from Windsor Castle.

LAW INTELLIGENCE, BANKRUPTCY.--(THIS DAY.) IN THE MATTER OF W. RICHARDS: The bankrupt was the proprietor of the Fox Tavern in 'Oxford street, and appeared in Court on his final exami nation, when several proofs were admitted. The lease and good will of the house being valued at 1,25C1., and it was calculated the property in stock and ?urniture would realise by private sale nearly 5001., both of which sums would be shortly available to the creditors. Sir CHARLES WILLIAMS, having examined the bank rupt at great length, said he considered hiin to have rendered so clear a statement of his affairs as to be en- Litled to pass his final examination. However, he re -.vetted to perceive that, by some oversight, the balance sheet had not been ten clear days in the hands of the official assiguee ; yet, and under the circumstances, could he think of allowing a bankrupt to pass his final examination, withdut affording every facility to the cre litors in seeing the accounts rendered of the bankrupt's affairs.- PO LICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL—(T HIS DAY.) A female of dissipated appearance, with a child in her arms, and a respectable working man named Wm. Walsh, was charged before Mr. Alderman Hooper under the following circumstances : Police-constable 146 said, last night he met the pri soner;, both of whom were intoxicated, but the man very much so, and watched them for some time, when he saw her snap the chain attached to Walsh's watch and place it in her pocket. Upon taking her into custody she said he was her cousin, and that she took the watch for fear he should loose it. The male prisoner was locked up on the charge of intoxication. Walsh, who seemed very unwilling to prosecute, said he knew her husband, who often did jobbing work for him, and he thoughtperhaps she did not intend to rob him. The female prisoner was sentenced to fourteen days' imprisonment, and Walsh fined five shillings for being drunk. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

Business appeared to be dull, for which the season of year will perhaps account. Exchange in England, the highest 2 15-6 d, and the lowest 2id. The Coffee trade is at present memorializing the Go vernment to reconsider the proposed plan of abolishing the differential duty on that article, when imported from British possessions in the East Indies. The arguments adduced are certainly cogent, but the chief difficulty lies in so framing the Act so as to prevent the evasion of it, which has hitherto been the case. Hitherto ex tensive operations have been carried on by landing coffee at the Cape of Good Hope from Brazil and other parts of South America, which upon being re shipped to England, Caine under the denomination of " imported from a British possessiOn," and therefore subject to the duty of ninepence instead of fifteen pence per pound. The origin of this trade was certainly legitimate, havin-f, its commencement in the barter of our manufactures with the natives .of the Eastern Archi pelago, and for which Singapore, a British settlement, became the grand entrepot ; but the late encroachments of the Dutch upon commerce in those seas other than their own, led to the almost complete abandonment of this branch of trade ; afterwards the Cape was substituted as the nearest port which would confer the privilege of the lower duty. If freedom of trade continue to be allowed in our Eastern colonies, where it has hitherto been unrestricted, it will be almost impossible to prevent the entrance and re-shipment of coffee and the subse quent evasion of duty. It is not improbable but that some relief will be afforded to the holders by giving time to work off their present stock ; but if the manner of rating the article be continued, it will enhance the price to the consumer, and injure the revenue, by pre venting the admission of foreign coffee, otherwise than by a circuitous route.

At eight o'clock this morning the remains of this lamented Nobleman (enclosed in three coffins„ the outer one composed of the best Spanish mahogany, covered with rich crimson Genoa velvet, thickly studded with gold ornaments), were removed to the hearse, which was drawn by six horses. When all the arrangements were completed, at tell minutes past eight, the procession moved forward in the following order :—The hearse, with armorial bearings on each side, three mourning coaches, each drawn by four horses, containing the rela tives and immediate friends of the deceased, seven private carriages, amongst which were those of her Majesty the Queen Dowager,. and those of their Royal Hignesses the Dukes of Cambridge and Sus e; the carriages of the late Earl and 1)r. Chambers. The Earl of Munster, Lords Adolphus and Frederick Fitzclarence,accornpanied the mournful procession, which proceeded across Bel grave-square, through Wilton-crescent into Knights bridl,Y.e on the high road to Hampton, where the mortal remains of the deceased Peer will be interred in a vault under the church at noon to-day.

The number of visitors to the ruins of the armouries for the week end ing Saturday last, was 548. GRERNWICH FAIR-THE RIVER. The weather was sufficiently propitious teinduce the Londoners to set out for Greenwich. At an early hour 'the people began streaming down to the what& 'to em bark for Greenwich in the steamers—nor was the rail way terminus at London-bridge less crowded. There were no fewer than 40 steamers engaged in conveying the holiday folks to the fair. Watermen, Ito 7, black funnel steamers, tugs, Richmond boats, Vivids, Eclipses, Auroras, Starlights, Moonlights, and all the other lights, the Brides, the Fairies, and numerous others, were all employed alike, and took down freight after freight of lads and lasses, all bou n d t o th e same desti nation. Many of these had as many as 500 passengers on board, a greater number certainly than they ought to be allowed to carry. The steam-tugs, which conveyed passengers to Greenwi c h at 4 d . eac h , were dreadfully of ercrowded, but the inconvenience was forgotten in the cheapness of the fare. Those vessels conveyed 20,000 passengers during the day be tween the watermen's floating pier at Greenwich, and Nicholson's Wharf, Thames-street ; the Watermen's steamers about 9,000 ; and numerous others about 20,000 more. The business done on the railway was also immense, and a good many east-enders proceeded to Greenwich by the Blackwall-railway. At five o'clock there could not have been less than 200,000 visitors in the town, of whom at least two-thirds were from London. The public-houses, tea-rooms, eating-houses, and other places, were filled to an overflow, and the streets were also ci owded with people. The greatest hilarity and good humour prevailed among the holiday folks, but the state of the weather, and the dampness of the soil in the Park was a bar to the accustomed sport of running and rolling down One-tree hill, except to some hardy adventurers, a few of whom suffered for their temerity. The fair is held in the usual place, and extends from Church-street to the Creek bridge, commencing with a ginger-bread stall and ending with- the principal attractions of the place— Richardson's theatre, under the superintendence of Nelson Lee and Johnson, who as usual present a motley group of bandits, counts, clowns, harlequins, and columbines without, and a tragedy within, got up, as far as scenery and decorations are concerned, in a very excellent manner, and performed in twenty-one minutes, and a pantomine, with tricks that would do credit to a patent theatre, which is got through in half that time, and all for the small charge of sixpence. The Crown and Anchor booth, where the votaries of Terpsichore may dance all day on paying one shilling for admission, and which contains provisions and beer sufficient to maintain an army while the fair lasts, is the largest concern in the place, and truly it is a wonderful affair, for no less than 400 couple can go through a country dance at one time if they pleased ; but they only dance quadrilles and cotillions at Greenwich. There are not so many shows and menageries as usual, but there is no lack of gingerbread stalls, swings, and roundabouts, for the edifi cation of both young and old. The police arrangements, under the direction of Mr. Fisher, the High Constable, and Mr. Mallalieu, the Superintendent of the .R division of police, are excellent, and such as to ensure the safety and comfort of all ; but the law for closing the fair and houses of entertainment at eleven o'clock appears to be very unpopular: THE LATE MARQUIS OF HERT- FORD'S WILL. Many exaggerated and absurd statements having been made as to the late Lord Hertford's will, we believe the following particulars will be found more nearly correct than anything that has yet appeared :—To his widow the Marchioness is left 3,00C1. per annum and 20,0001. His son, the present Lord, is left all the landed estates, and residuary legatee, which latter gift is reckoned equi valent to 100,0001. at the least. The late Admiral Sir Richard Strachan left his three daughters, then very young, to the guardianship of Lord Hertford, and they chiefly resided with him till their marriages ; these three young ladies are the most prominent objects of his Lord ship's bounty, viz., to Charlotte, Countess Zichy, who constantly resided with him, he has left 86,00(1. ; to Matilda, Countess Berthold, 80,000/. ; and to Louisa, Princess Antimo Ruffo, 40,0001. ; and to each suc cessively, a life interest in the villa in Regent's park ; which, after them, returns to his own family. To Lady Strachan is left a life annuity of 700 L and 10,0001. To a Mrs. Spencer, who is, we presume, the person called in other statements (but, we believe, erroneously) "Lady Strachan's maid," a life annuity of 1,000/. and 5,000/. To his Lordship's numerous servants several sums estimated at from 16,0001. to 20,0001. To his executors 5,000/. each ; to .Sir Horace Seymour, 8,000/. ; to Lord George Seymour, 5,00 a, ; to his cousin Captain Meynell, 4,000/. ; to Mr. Croker, 21,000/. and his wine, which, from his Lordship's having latterly lived so little in England, is not reckoned at more than 500/. ; to Mr. De Horsey, 3,500/. ; to Mr. Raikes, 2,00 a. These, we believe, are the principal bequests ; but the codicils by whi..h they are made are said to be near thirty in number, and liablo to various legal questions w hich may affect and alter some of the legacies, at least as to their amounts, and perhaps some other testamentary papers may be yet found ; but, on the whole, we believe the foregoing is a pretty accurate state ment of the affitir as it at present appears on the face of the documents hitherto discovered.

CHRONICLE.—fie election of the Committee of the Stock Exchange has terminated as usual in the success of the house list. Messrs. Mercier and Mello were chosen in the place of Mr. lichens, the Chair man, and of Mr. Vardon, who have retired. Mr. Hutchison has agreed to continue as Deputy Chair man, and it is understood that Mr. Pearce will be elected Chairman, in the room of Mr. Hichens. A deputation of the Committee waited on the latter gen tleman, and solicited him to continue to fill the chair, but we understand he found the duties of Chairman so onerous that he was obliged to decline complying with the request of the deputation. Mr. Hichens has filled the chair, we believe, now f or f our years, an d been seven years a member of the Committee. The current against the income tax does not slacken in commercial circles ; on the contrary, we believe, that the more it is considered the opposition increases, although some of our City friends, who were very much averse to it when first announced, now say (since Sir Robert Peel made his indiscreet and intemperate statement, that he would resign un less his plan was adopted exactly as it stands), that it is the be s t p o ssible tax, provided it c ou ld be levied without its inquisitorial process. These gentlemen, we presume, are aware that the proviso is insepara ble from the operation of a tax on incomes, including trades and professions. They must make up their minds to submit, therefore, to smother their ob jections. If Sir Robert Peel had held out a repeal of the Corn-laws in one hand, and his income tax in the other, with cheap sugar as a make weight, he would have been much more likely to meet with the support of the country. The delay that has been obtained has already acted on the Corn Market, free wheat having advanced 2s. a quarter, being now worth 625. The millers are in want of stuff to grind for flour ; and, beginning to see fresh obstacles against the speedy settlement of the proposed changes, they have come forward as buyers for their immediate wants. The quantity of free wheat in the country is about 500,000 quarters. SUN.—The amount of business transacted in the Stock Exchange, has been extremely limited, the attendance, on account of the holidays, being small. The quotations were not quite so good, the Market closing heavily. Consols left off at 894 for Money, and 89i for the Account. Exchequer Bills 27 to 29 premium. The quotations for Chilian and Brazilian Stocks are about 1 per cent. lower than an Saturday, the latter being 69 to 70, and the latter 75 to 80. The Portu guese Five per Cents. 34 to k , the Three per Cents. 20 to 8 ; Colombian 261 4; Mexican 424 4 ; Spanish 244 4. The price of Danish was 811 824; the Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 52 524, the Five per Cents. 1024 103. The Railway Shares were flat. _Birmingham were last quoted at 85 to 87 ; Great Western, 26 27 ; the Half Shhres, 134 14 premium ; SoUth Western,,' 59 60; Gosport, 59 60; North Midland, 69 70; the New Shares, 34 35 ; and Brighton, 354 354 per shale. South Eastern and" Dover, 224 22, and Eastern Counties, 13+ 12i discount. Accounts from Rio Janeiro to the 14th January, have been received via New York. The market had been completely cleared of good coffee, at prices which had ruled very high. The last crop had been ex ceedingly abundant, but owing to the long con tinuance of heavy rains, a very small portion of it had arrived in merchantable condition, consequently the scarcity and advanced rates of superior quality. The demand for imported goods had nearly ceased, on ac count of the heavy stock, the principal part of which would probably be brought to forced sales ; merchants were therefore cautious in purchaSing, being appre hensive of a further decline. Exchange in England, 29d. The method proposed to ascertain the income arising from trades and professions under the in tended plan, having been published, it appears to render it still more unpalatable. One clause in par ticular is received as being extremely obnoxious, and likely, if persevered in, to raise a strong oppo sition to the measure generally. It is stated, that in estimating the ,profits and gains, no reduction shall be made on account of any annual interest, or any annuity, or any other annual payment, payable out of such profits or gaint, except the interest of debts due to foreigners not resident in Great Bri tain, or any of her Majesty's dominions." This will bear very hardly upon a numerous class, including both small tradesmen and manufacturers, who have been under the necessity of borrow in., part of the capital necessary for carrying on their respective businesses, the interest upon which can be considered as nothing but an expense of that business, and not as forming any portion of " gains or profits." It is also urged, that by this system the tax will be doubly charged, the interest being rated, first to the tradesman, and to the lender also, part of his income being derived fronkthe employment of his capital in this particular manner. If the principle laid down in the regulationin question, be carried to its full extent, the wliole trading capital of the country will be subject to the charge of nine instead of three per cent. Since the deduction of discount upon bills " interest on loans will not be allowed, neither of which can be viewed otherwise than as a loss to the payer, thus making the amount doubly onerous to him, as well as receiving the amount from the capitalist also. This, too, is to be borne by the necessitous in particular, who obliged to borrow, can least afford the tax. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY) Ellen Foley, an oldish lady, who bore in her counte nance the strongly marked lineaments which indicate the character of a shrewish termagant, was charged with creating a disturbance at the Strand Theatre last night under the following circumstances. The complainant stated that last night being the first night of opening of this theatre for the season, as he was lighting the lamps, he heard a noise at the stage-door, .'here his wife acts as porteress. He went there and he [bond the prisoner at the door abusing his wife and chil dren, calling them thieves, liars, and other very objec tionable names. He ki,ew nothing of the prisoner other than that she used at one time to hve in his house. The officer of the theatre here stepped forward, and said he thought he could explain the matter. About 18 months since the prisoner was employed in the theatre, in the capacity which the complainant's wife at present held, but from her character for drunkenness she was dis charged by the then proprietors, and since that time she had been in the habit of frequently going to the stage door, and creating a disturbance., _ The prisoner, who had several times during the re cital of the evidence, endeavoured to cast a slur upon it, by the ejaculation of such little expressions as " Oh, my !" " Well, I never !" " Did you ever !" and the like, commenced her defence by addressing the following trite little admonition to the last witness—" Oh ! do you ex pect there is a God at all, you false-faced man ?" She then went on to say—" Yes, your Worship, I did g-o to the theatre, I went there. That man who has just left the bar, has taken the situation of every one in the theatre—almost. He and his family has filled every place in the theatre, and he works for nothing—almost. I'm not in the habit of going to the theatre neither. This man's wife has reported that I have taken sv and so, and so and so, and he said that when he met me he would put me under the wheels of a coach ; but as for me, Sir, I am neither an abusive woman nor a drunkard. Oh, your Worship, I wish you knew the facts of the case ; send for a friend or two of mine, and they'll let you know how things stands." Mr. JARDINE—Now, you have not said one word to justify your conduct in creating a disturbance at the door of the theatre. Prisoner—Decidedly I have, sir, what right have they to take away my character, when I have a living to earn ? Mr. JARDINE—Your husband must be surety to the amount of 10/. that you will keep the peace for two months. _ _ DRUNK AND INCA PABLEB.—The number of persons in cluded in this charge this morning was only nine, and of these, shame be it to the women of England, six were females, and three men, they were all discharged on their solemn promises " that it should not occur again." MARBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) Charles Biggs and William Fearless, two flashily dressed young men, were placed at the bar on the follow ing charge :---Mrs. Eliza Howard, a respectable young married female, residing at No. 14, Little Windmill street, Haymarket, stated ,that about half-past seven o'clock last evening, as she was crossing from Regents street into Glasshouse-street . the prisoners, in company with another young man, came running up behind her, and Peerless struck her such a violent blow on the back that she fell prostrate on her face on the footway pavement, and was for a few sr conds completely stunned. On recovering herself she discovered that her reticule, which contained two half-crowns in a purse made out of her brother's hair, had been stolen from her—the string having been cut from off her wrist. The prisoners were pursued, and ultimately taken into custody.—They were remanded. James Johnson, a young man of respectable appear ance, was charged with the following most audacious street robbery. Mrs. Jane Elizabeth Fleming, a lady residing at Brook hill, Clerkenwell, stated that about half-past six o'clock lastl evening she was proceeding along Coventry street, Haymarket, when the prisoner came up in front of her with an open pocket-knife in his hand, and seizing hold of her reticule, which was hanging on her arm, cut the ribband which suspended it, and was making off with it when he was taken into custody by police Serjeant, No. 14 of the C division, With the stolen property in his possession ; the reticule contained a bead purse and some silver coin. The prisoner was recognized as a well known thief. le was fully committed. CLERKEN WELL —(THIS DAY.) Mr. Chitty, a gentleman residing in G owor•street, brought the following charge against his servant, Wil liam Denny and Sarah Evans, a girl of the town It appeared that between twelve and one o'clock this morning, Mr. Chitty was alarmed by a,:noise in the lower part of his house. He called the man servant who first pretended to be asleep, but afterwards said he did not hear him calling. There was a quantity of spirits spilled in his Led room, which the prisoner said was water. He denied having made any noise, and said there had been nobody with him. In a few minutes a policeman came to the door with the female prisoner, who was apprehended with a portion of Mr. Chitty's property on her person. She stated that she was one of a party whom the prisoner had invited to spend a few hours with him after his mas ter's family had gone to rest, and that she was then returning from the festivity. The prisoner, on being interrogated by the Magistrate, would give no satisfac tory explanation of the " High life below stairs,"—he wept bitterly, and implored his master's forgiveness. Both prisoners were remanded. UNION HALL—THIS DAY.) Enoch Jones was charged with committing a violent assault on Charlotte Webber, whose face bore ample evi dence of the fact. The complainant said, that her father held a situation in the House of Lords, and that as she and her sister were returning home the night before, the defendant came up and took her round the waist, saying he should like to kiss her. She told him that he made use of unparliamentary language—(Laughter)—and at the same time slapped his face, upon which he knocked her down ; and the side of her lace coming in contact with the stones, marked it in the manner it then appeared. The defendant said he was in liquor at the time, or he should not have acted as he had done. He was fined 40s. By WilliamTValkingshaw and Thomas Clarke were charged on suspicion with breaking into the house of Mr. Clark, an undertaker, in Crucifix-lane, and stealing a quantity-of plate, and 31. in money. The prisoners, who asserted their innocence, were remanded. WORSHIP-STREET-(THIS DAY.) IMPUDENT ROBBERY.—lsabella Lucas, a demure look ing elderly woman, was charged with having stolen a pocket-handkerchief from the shop door of Mr. Lueas, haberdasher in Church-street, Shoreditch. It appeared from the evidence, that on the preceding evening the prisoner went up the door of the prosecutor's shop, and deliberately tore off a handkerchief from a piece that was hanging there for sale, and she was quietly walking away with the property, when she was stopped by police constable, 189, who took her into custody. The prisoner dropped the handkerchief on being taken, and it was found lying at her feet. The prisoner (who declined saying anything) was re manded to give time for inquiries to be made respecting her. All the other night charges were destitute of interest. CHRISTIAN BURIAL.—A correspondent informs us that the son of Mr. John Judd, of Buriton, near Beacons field, was buried some days ago without the usual funeral rites. The child had been duly registered, but for some. cause not explained the ceremony of baptism was not performed, and the clergyman therefore refused to offi ciate. A grave was dug in the churchyard, where the body was interred in silence. BADMINTON, YESTERDAY MORNING.—The Duke of Beaufort ivas sufficiently recovered this morning from his recent accident to be able to take the field. On Wednesday morning the Duke and Duchess leave for Belvoir Castle, the seat of the Duke of Rutland, to join the circle assembled at that princely mansion for the Croxton Park races. This morning the military guard which had been placed over Hutchings, the soldier who, after having fired several shots through a door in the Mews' Barracks, Charing cross, and jumped out of a wind3w, was dis missed, in consequence of the surgeon having pronounced the unfortunate man to be beyond further surgical aid. His death is hourly expected. Won by threelengths, easily, THE EASTER HUNT WITH THE ROYAL BUCK HOUNDS. An Eastern hunt is the best thing in the world, if you would see a " little of life" and " lots of fun." The locale, whether it be at far-famed Epping, or in tht Royal neighbourhood of Windsor, matters not. The same sort of falls, the same mishaps, duckings, and hair-breadth escapes occur to the gallant and ad venturous Easter Monday Nimrods ; the surgeons and coroners in both localities, looking out for " squalls," generally hold themselves in readiness for " active duty." The place selected for the meet of her .Majesty's staghounds yesterday was Stoke-common, a very de lightful and picturesque spot, within six miles of Wind sor, and liitle more than three from Slough station. The time was announced for eleven o'clock, and long before that hour thousands of pedestrians, men, women, and children, were seen hastening to the common from all directions, anxious to be in time to catch a glimpse of the deer, and, what was of more importance to them, in the loyal hope of seeing their Sovereign and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, with a courtly retinue at the meet. The Court, however, was not present, her Majesty having proceeded yesterday morning on horse back (tor the first time since the birth of the Prince of Wales) to the Great Park, accompanied by Prince Al bert, and attended by a numerous retinue, to witness a hunt by his Royal Highness's beagles. The Earl of Rosslyn arrived at the common between eleven and twelve o'clock, and at that time the pe destrians amounted to many thousands, and the horse men numbered several hundreds. The vehicles, from the costermonger's donkey-cart to the aristocratic four-in-hand, lined the roads across the common in every direction. Amongst those who were pre sent were his Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge, the Earl and Countess of Sefton, mid the Ladies Molyneaux, Lord Hillsborough, the Earl of March, Colonel Bouverie, Colonel Glennie, George Wombwell, Esq., Colonel Vyse, Captain Ridolph, Cap tain Vyse, Colonel Harcourt, Ward, Esq., Cap tains Seymour, Bastard, Bunham, Proctor, and several of the Officers of the Royal Horse Guards (Blue), and 72d Highlanders. The deer," Mouse," which was selected on last Easter Monday, was intended to have been hunted yesterday ; but a bolder stag was chosen—one that would go right a-head, and not—be intimidated by the mob--named Highflyer, which had been hunted but once before this season, and which then afibrded excellent sport. Precisely 'at a quarter before twelve o'clock, High , flyer (in capital condition) was uncarted at about the centre of the common. After running through the hil -1 mense mob, it wended its way towards Burnham Beeches, into the plantation of trees abutting on the moor, which it shortly after left, going in the direction of Hedger ley en to Fulmer. After being allowed a good ten minutes' law, the hounds were laid on, and at the first rasper which pre,:ented itself, a scene ensued which may be easily imagined by those who have ever attended an Easter hunt. Many of those who were hardy enough to attempt the leap were.." split," while those who felt that " discretion was the 'better part of valour" turned tail, and thus saved themselVes from the consequences of attempting it. By this dine the field was well weeded, and upwards of 200 of the 'tight sort went merrily on after the hounds. The stag, after a ca pital run of an hour and a half, was taken at Moor Park, in Hertfordshire, the seat of the Marquis of Westmin ster, upwards of 100 being up at the finish. The private meet, on - Wednesday (to morrow), has been finally arranged to take place at Salt-hill. Letters were received yesterday at Lord Rolle's, in Upper Grosvenor-street, from Lady Rolle, at the seat of the noble and venerable Peer, I3icton Park, near Honiton, which did not bold out the slightest prospect of his Lord • ship's recovery, and his demise wa s h our ly expecte d. The peerage is of the creation of 1796. GREENWICH FAlR.—There were no fewer than forty steamers engaged, yesterday in conveying the holiday folks to the fair. They took down freight after freight. The river presented a gay and animated appearance. At five o'clock there could not have been less than 200,000 visitors in the town, of whom at least two-thirds were from London. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Siu,—Your London is the place for exhibi tions, from a fasting man to an earthquake, from any dust to " devil's dust!" All are sure of at tention and admiration. A Mr. Ferranti has been showing off his talents in the wonder way to " the wisdom" of the nation ; and verily he has contrived to make a considerable stour, liberally mixed with a commodity of his own invention, but to which he has attached the name of a worthy not celebrated for his strict adherence to truth. Whether the nomenclature is to be con sidered a casual circumstance, or as the result of any smirking sympathy fur the characteristics of the good father, does not appear. But, seriously, it is lamentable that a man, professing to be a legislator, should be capable of such buffoonery as this Mr. Ferrand, and still more so, that a British House of Commons should be found so ignorant about the manufactures of the country, as to listen to his wild and childish harangues. This Member is evidently a young man, bent on showing how little he requires to know of ' any matter to enable him to talk on it; but that his displays of vanity and lack of common in formation should have elicited applause from many others, is truly remarkable. What was it lie told them ? Just what anybody could, to better purpose—that flour was used for stiffening calicos, and that woollen rags were reduced to materiel for making coarse cloth of, and that, when made, the manufacturer sells them ! Does this gentleman know anything about the price these stiffened and s' devil's dust" fabrics are sold for, or does. he suppose that all cloths are one and the same price? One might think so, if the charge brought against the:makers is to be taken for aught else than idle vapouring. It is not held a crime for a party to manufacture coarse goods, unless he palm them on the buyer as of good quality, and take a price accordingly. Had this wondrous wise gentleman stooped to think of the money paid for the starched calicos he treated Lord John Russell and Sir Robert Peel to specimens of, even he might have been led to consider it as somewhat astonishing that, at such prices, they were there at all. But that was a trifle beneath his notice. Enough for him to prove the main fact—that he could produce a piece of cotton cloth starched with flour. Why does he not pull up his shirt collar, and at once demand a Select Committee to investigate the wickedness of his laundress for stiffening it with flour I The one case lies more, at least, in his way, than the other, and would be equally edify ing' or diverting. But then the very sapient and Honourable Member has discovered, that in preparing those fabrics some dusty aye, " devil's dust," is let loose, and seems to think that no one but himself has a right to raise any dust in manufactures of a small value. Such exhibitions are disgusting. It is no wonder,indeed, that the Legislature has little respect from the country, but it is only surprising it returns any, when such fantastic tricks are suffered to be played by its Members, nay, applauded by many of them. What are we to expect from such men ? Are we to be asked to repose confideece in them ? Carlisle, March 9, 1842. X. ANECDOTE or Mn. JUSTICE CRESSWELL.—About two years ago, when Mr. Justice Cresswell was at the bar, he was eicamining a sailor as a witness, who ever and anon called him "My Lord," on which the Learned Counsel said, "I am not my L or d. Th at ' s my L or d," pointing to Mr. Baron Alderson, who was trying the cause ; on which his Lordship added, " lie is speaking prophetically, Mr. Cresswell." It is somewhat singular that Mr. Cresswell should so soon afterwards be entitled to be addressed " My Lord." M. Mehus, the banker and brother of the Director of the Bank of Brussels, is arrived in Paris (says the Constitutionnel), for the purpose of founding a project for a railroad from Paris to Brussels on solid bases, and so . that it may bearried into immediate oxecution. SAGACIOUS AND HUMANE OFFICIAL.—A boy in Indiana was recently arrested for robbing the mail. While he was in prison, the Sheriff entered the room, and levelled a pistol at his head, threatening him %ith instant death if he did not confess the crime. The boy thought that confession was . better than death, so h e pulled the money out of the lining of his cap, and g ave .at up. The next day the boy was seized with epilepsey, and will probably never recover.

COSTA CABRAL HERO OF THE LATE PORTU GUESE REVOLUTION, BY WHICH THE CHAR TER REPLACED THE CONSTITUTION. His Excellency Bernardo Antonio da Costa Cabral was born at Villa d'Algodres, of very low origin, and took his degree at the University of Coimbra. In 1828 he was at Oporto when the revolt broke out against Don Miguel, and the unfortunate result of that affair drove its authors from their native land, and with them Costa Cabral. He emigrated to France, whence he arrived at Oporto, forming part of Doe Pedro's expedition. As soon as the civil war was at an end; he was appointed by Silva Carvalho (then Minister of Finance) to the post of Ma gistrate in the Azores, and ultimately was elected Deputy to the last Chartist Chamber which was dissolved in 1836. In 1837 he sat in the Constituent Congress as a Deputy, and gave his adhesion to the party which supported the revolution and the Passoz Ministry, which he abandoned, as being too moderate for him. In July, 1837, a part of the 4th Regiment of Chasseurs, pro claimed the Constitutional Charter of 1826 in the village of Barrea, and in the month following Marshals Saldana and Fer reir also declared themselves for the same charter in the village of Loriez ' • but not being sufficiently supported, they were obliged to fall bat k upon Villa Franca. On the 22d of August, the Constitutional Congress pub lished a manifesto against the Chartist revolt, and the Deputy, Costa Cabral, who had so lattO declare d himself in favour of the Charter of 1826, signed the manifesto against the Chartists. General Bomfim was sent against the insurgents, and then Costa Cabral, doubtless wishing to see revived the good old days of the French Na ional Convention, offered to accompany the Septembrist army which was going to defend the constitu tion of 1838. In his manifesto, dated Oporto, Jan. 27, 1842, Costa Cabral declares that this same constitution did not pos sess the sympathies of any political party whatsoever. By dint of Costa Cabral's exertions the Chartists were de feated at the plains of Feira. They then proposed an armis tice, and accordingly a meeting of the Cioniimissieners e ap pointed by the two parties, took place on the 30th of August, at Alzuburrota, in order if possible to make arrangements for the termination of the civil war. The Commissioners who represented the Marquis toaldanha, proposed " that the consti tutional charier of the monarchy, accepted and sworn to by the nation in 1826, should I.a proclaimed, and that the Cortes con voked by the terms of the same charter, should be authorised to make the necessary refo. ma." Costa Cabral, as Commis sioner representing the September revolution, replied, " that no alteration should be made in the constitution of 1838, -ex cepting such act should emanate from the constitutional Con gress." Hostilities recommenced on the 18th of September, on the plains of Reivaez, hen the Chartist army laid down their arms, and accepted the conditions dictated by the Viscount Das Antas. Costa Cabral thus crushed the Chartist revolution, and on arriving at Lisbon he became the idol of the patriots, who placed implicit confidence in his promises. In the Clamber he became a violent democrat, declaring that the September revo lution was iu danger of being betrayed, and at length became the po.iular speaker of this day. Without the walls of the Chamlier he let loose his thunder upon the moderate party, and went about the cafes, excititv every one to revolt, until at length the Ministry had the weakness to appoint him to the post of Civil Administrator of Lisbon, General tiernlim, who was the Minister of War, had pre sented to the Queen a list containing the names of officers who deserved promotion for their good conduct displiyed on severed occasions against the Chartists. To this her Majesty refused her sanction. The battalion at the Arsenal became incensed at this refusal, and assumed a hostile character, but being obliged to desist from thi-ir pretensions, they were disbanded ror this breach of discipline. On the 13th of llla, ch a portion of the National Guard fol- lowed in the wake of the battalion at the Ars nal, and a skir -1 ish took place in the streets of Lisbon, between the troops of the line and the National Guards. Several were killed, and a great many wounded on both sides, but order was at length, with some difficulty, re-established. Another emeute to..k place in the month of June, and the 7th, Bth, 14th, 15th, and 17th battalions of the National Guards were accordingly disbanded. All these r‘ volts had been previ ously organized in the masonic clubs by Costa Cabral. He was the author of all these disorders, as well as of those of Mach 13, as his object was first to compromise the National Guards, and then to get them out of his way effectually, by causing them to be disbanded. The Extraordinary Cortes opened in December, and Costa Cabral took his place as a Member, having resigned his post of Genet al Adminitti at or at Lisbon. Iris position in the Chamber was exeessivel) equivocal, as he found himself obliged to fight single hand, d against the attacks of all parties. Things went on this way until Nov tuber, 1839. The Saborosa Ministry being completely undermined by ins tiigues, was compelled to give way, and the Fonseca Magalhaes Ministry imm, diateiy replaced it. Costa Cabral obtained the portfolio of Minister of Justice. His first act was to rid him self of his old colleague the Count de Bouafim, who was then Minister of War. lie substituted in his place the Count de Villa Real, as he found himself continually thwarted in a.l his projects by the presence of honest and honourable men. lie nest enlisted in his service all the officers who had been dis tnissed by the Convention of September Is, 1137. With this band of malcontents he inundated the country, filling it with mischievous secret societies, by which means the army was corrupted. and a train laid for the events of January last ; and on the '2lst of that month, without having ever resigned his post in the town of Oporto, supported by his bayonets, he pro claimed the Charter of 1826. For some time previous to these events, Costa Cabral had been the in .itispring, the life and soul, of the Ministry. Ile was all and every thing; but his ambition was not yet gratified. There was a power still above him upon the throne—he as pired to be Dictator. To obtain this post he knifew he must play most foully—he must stir up the raging billows of revolu tion over his country. But he was not a man to stick at trifles. The Minister of the Crown, who had sworn to serve faithfully and to protect his Sovereign, abandoned h e r—p u t weapons into the hands of her ow n soldiers to fight against her. She resiited ; but in order to save the effusion of blood, she deter mined to make a noble sacrifice, and allow herself to be crushed by the traitorous rebel. Even at the last moment the daugh ter of Don Pedro addressed these words to the traitor Minis ter :—" Were my august father still alive, he would have re fused to listen to traitorous propositions, supported by corrupted and misguided troops lie would have displayed the same fig mness which be manifested under similar circumstances at a memorable period of his life. I will never yield to the abusivs exigencies of auy party, and I cannot but consider as such pretensions which are founded in fraud and dis order, and supported by violence. I can never recognise as true friends to the it Sovere gn those who attempt to die • tate to her ; and 1 am therefore determined to resist your pretensions :o support the dignity of my Crown, and to re fuse my adhesion to aught that may compromise the esta blished order of things." The voice of the Sovereign was however, unheeded amidst the din of rebellion, and the traitors triumphed. It is in vain that Costa Cabral attempts to justify himself—none of his protestations can be listened to ; his pro ' mises are sneered at, and, traitor to all parties, he is detested, mistrusted, and despised by all abodes of political parties. Even the Janissaries, who have raised him to his present bad eminence, will find themsAves kicked off, laid aside, and be trayed, as soon as he has no longer any occasion for their venal services. Who would have thought, in 1833, that the noble blood which was then abed under the walls of Oporto, would have prepared the way for another revolution? We fear not for the people—a people cannot be easily wiped away from the face of the eartl•—but we cannot repress our fears for the safety of the Throne, for the daughter of the Duke of Bra ganca, who is now compelled in her palace to receive the peremptory orders of a plebian dictator, who, on the pia self Teira, wantonly shed the blood of the noble defenders of the 1826 charter, tie self-same identical charter which he has lately dared to bind himself with the solemnity of an oath. The page of history may be turned over in vans to find so flagrant an instance of atrocit3. Surrounded b 3 his mercenary troops, Costa Cabral compels the Queen of Portugal to swear to a cede, the pages of which have all been dictated by him. A re-action here is inevitable--it must sooner or latter take place, as all that is brave, noble, and loyal 'in the land detest and de.pise the traitor, who has in his turn con scientiously betrayed every party who had confided in his pro mises, and lent him their support. The greatest insult you car heap upon a man in Lisbon at present is to accuse him of being a friend of Costa Cabral's. His only present supporters are his mercenary soldiers, and their support is ever open to the highest bidd-r. They have lately proclaimed liberty and absolution, and to-morrow they would declare for the Grand Turk, if they were well paid for their trouble. He has just purchased the services of the Baron de Santa Maria, by the grand cordon of the order of Christ, but we hear that this brave soldier is still standing out for something more, in the hope that he may exact better terms.
