We are glad to find that many journals directly op posed to the principles of the Chartists strongly and em phatically condemn the decision of the House of Com mons in refusing to hear their grievances at its bar. The House assumes the right to tax the people ; to, make laws to regulate their conduct throughout life ; to restrict the quantity, and keep up the price, of their food ; to compel them to shed their blood by land and sea, at Ole pleasure of any Minister who chooses to plunge the nation into unholy wars ; but when millions of tlom raise their untuned voices and rugged bawls against oppressions which they can no longer endure, they are insolently told that Parliament has no time to waste in listening to them. First among the journals, not strictly political, which have treated the refusal of the House of Commons to hear the complaints of the poor in the most enlarged and Christian spirit, may be classed the True Tablet. From an able article we quote the following Sir Robert Peel, indeed, like a good guardian of the public time—he is a timepiece in more senses than one—cannot hear of such an obstacle being thrown in the way of the due de spatch of public business. Good Sir Robert, pray tell us, if you can, what business can properly be called public, if this is not entitled to the name. We protest we know of none. The distresses and sufferings of the lower glasses are emphatically the public business of the day. There is none more important, none more urgent, none for which it is so important to secure an early hearing, in order to settle with regularity now what, if left unsettled now, may have to be adjusted with a most un pleat:ant irregularity afterwards. Public business forsooth ! The necessities of a sixth of the population, who complain that they want bread, that you govern them ill, and have no feel ing for their sufferings—depend upon it, in any honest dic tionary, in any language under the sun, heathen or Christian, these matters come under the definition of public business. The man who cannot get on with the public business if he attends to these matters, is very I ke the man who couldn't see the wood for the trees. Public business, indeed ! The time will come when the Members of the Honourable and Right. Honourable Houses will most bitterly regret that they have not, both in their individual and their legislatorial capacities, devoted a great deal inure time to this department cf public business. We are entirely of this opinion. Should it never conic the termination will be more dreadful still ; for the crash w;l1 be sudden, and so conclusive, that there —will - be no room for regret—no time for repentance. And y et in the teeth of the vote of 'Tuesday night , the Tory end Whig statesmen, as they flatteringly call thmnselve*, would have the country believe that they think of nothing,,,but _how - best to govern the people. They add hypoerisy.,to f,alsehood, anOiy presuming to uniterstand tile riaveni es -of the people better than thnmselves, insolence to both. In- what 'estithation' re. fleeting men of Libera!, but not of Iladkal polities, are very generally beginning to hold the Right Hon. Mernhur for E linburgh, may be f;atilVq . C.l fronr the following ex truer. from the clever, Journal above quoted. We can tl,4tir,_, Mr. MAcAuLlv's supporters that the True Tabi, e:cpia -, F.ses a very :.,.;, , neral growing coovicrion ri?specti,;:„: the public character of that P.i.;-Itt lion. Elnlyargh Re YieWer : Little as we like the adverse decision of the House on Tuesday night, we disapprove far mare stt ongly of the reasons on whir; theivote leas groundeJ. The spokesman of the House in this affair—the orator who made it his husiness to find both parties in argumen:s—the philesoper who tiodertnok the arduou , labour of Membea nil a rlausillie theory oil h:o act—was Mr. 'Macaulay. We cor.fess to Laving iiii sitlstrabie 'repossession in favour of this gentietri u, and marl' reas nal spcaking of bins vs ith good will. We always his srfreechs a and his wsitinga with interest, and very often wi h profit and advantage. But with this, we mast say, that the I snore we see of hit-a in the House of a ornmons flit; less does sate confidence in his statesmanship become. Ito is a peat rhetot - tiros, a great theorist, but, we are sadly afraid, a somewhat. slip pery politizhin. We tits not mean by these expressions to charne him with anything like positive or personal dishonesty—far frora we caunot get it out of our m;itd that he is a man M in has no Pith on any political question vs ll.Aever. He may have a s4rung opinion that such and such conclusions are sound or unsnund ; but he teems ti have u i fit to conviction of the im p .runtee of the conclusions themselves. Ile views politics as a game ; he haramsues ae an advocate ; and he makes it his host nese to cover whatever patition his friends may occupy with a forme of dzzzhng sophistry. But a hat is it that injures hint to take a part in the game of politics at all? Ambition, un. tnubtedly ; nor, as we think, an essentially dishonest ambition. What detetmines him to adopt the Liberal, or Whig side ;rs polities is, we firmly believe, an hottest conviction. But where • are his sympathies? Who.° appliuse does he value ? What is liSs pubt;c? We answer that there is about him, afar Ls we can eiseover, a hard intellectual pride, in which, as in a coat of assail, he wraps himself agiost the approaches of common men. Ile desires the opplause of cotes-lea who term h's public ; and his sympathies' ate not with the wasses,not with she poor, not. with the uneducated, but with the better-infora ed men of Isis own class. Ile cannot imicut.ify Mussed' with them. A certain degfee of consideration from the poorer class is necessary to enable him to keep4sis seat, ant lie strives to earn it ; but his efforts in this kin! appear, not dishonest, hut laboured—task work, uncongenial to his taste. In spouting ingenious tin cries, clothed its a brilliant rhetoric, he is in Its true element. But though, we dare say, warm-heat ted enough in his domestic relations, he has not the soul to be a great statesman and to win the confidence of the poor. He does not, and he cannot, bear the poor in Isis heart always; they are a weight too burdensome for hilts ; but he patronizes them, and, like a god, would condescendingly shower benefits upon tin m out of a higher sphere (ban theirs. lie cares for them, we doubt not ; but he could not love them, live with them, anti t is for them. For anything we know he might die rather than do a dishonourable action; he might be a martyr to duty, but not to the poor. We question much whether he would step two yards over the limits of compelled duty to do them a hazardous service. Such is the man who was put forward by the Wltigs to oppose "the people's petition." The Archbishop of PARIS and the Dignitaries of the • French Church are laudably exerting themse.ves at pre sent to obtain the consent of the KING and Government for a better observance of Sunday. While we have con stantly blamed Sir ANDIZEW AGNEW and Co. fur their meddling interference with other people's affairs, and their foolish attempts to prevent every kind of harmless recreation on that day, we view in a very different light the conduct of the clergy of France. One day in the weak set apart fur religious and moral instruction, and also fur rest front laborious operations, has been found of great benefit to mankind. It tends to humanize the mind, gives relief to the monotonous employment of the week, and grants to hard-a orking artisans and la bourers of almost every description, one •i.iy in the seven witch they can call their own. In this country the lower-classes generally obtain relief trout their task-mas ters on Sunday, but in France the practice is totally dif ferent. Carpenters, masons, smiths, shopkeepers, and others, fur a great portion of the day, carry on their trades as during the rest of the week; it is the great day for mustering and reviewing the National Guard, for presenting addresses to the SOVEREIGN or public func tionaries; for frequenting theatres and other places of public amusement, and little time therefore is left for reading or religious duties. To put an end to this anomaly, therefore, in France, as compared with most other countries, is the object of the present move ment on the part of the clergy, and were they to confine their application to the Sovereign for the due observance of the Sunday alone, we have little doubt that they would accomplish their purpose, with the general consent of the public. The Archbishop, however, goes considerably farther, and expresses a hope that at no distant period it it will be possible " for the Government to put an end to public labour on the days consecrated to God, and that, influenced by the example of the Court, these sa cred days will be respected by all Frenchmen." This is attempting too much, and possibly may frustrate the whole plan. The history of France furnishes but too imm y instances of the encroaching, selfish, and wicked disposition of the priesthood, and should suspicion be excited that plans are in agita tion for restoring this body to their former power and inflgence over King and people, a universal outcry would be raised against them. Not satisfied with the observance of one day in the week, the clergy appear anxious to have all the festivals of the Church placed on the same footing. The KING had the good sense, how ever, to refuse this portion of the request, and to giv.i a significant reply to the address of the tenPrela by countenancing the non-observance of hol T y rs day, and employing workmen on that day for re pairing the palace of St. Cloud. We have not asmrtained the KING'S sentiments regarding the be canting observance of Sunday, but it can hardly fail to meet with his cordial approbation. Example, however, in an affair of this kind, would be better than precept, and were the Court to lead the way the people would f'ol - without compulsion or legislative enactment. Any attempt to legislate on the suajt et would be littal. The folly of the Agnewites here has been so outrageous, that it would be held up to the people of France as a sufficient cause for rejecting the measure at once. We have Madrid Journals of the Ist inst. The young QUEEN on that (Ly was to give a grand dimer to her uncle, FaaNctsco DE PAULO: of whose removal from the Capital nothing is now sail. Should thai Prince conduct himself with discretion, there will be no necessity for his removal from the Calltal ; but lit has an ill adviser in his wif e , the INFANTA DONN C ARLOTTA, one of.:,he most inveterate political rs in Europe. T ten times Princess would be . ' Lore dangerous than she really is but for her violence o, temper, which can hroo:: no contradiction. The Spanish Daputies arc occupied with the Bill c, r • ranting a 1 - 1.. w loan of 160 iniliions of real,.. :_-;o many amendments were offered upon the Bill, that it ‘,ll' , expected the debates upon it would last a fortnight. The Expectador, a MaCr:d Ministerial Journal, rept diates the idea of the Five Great Powers unbrolting tt dispose of the hand of the young Queen of SPAIN. T11;3 journal is perfectly right. The marriage of the young QUEEN is strictly a question within the province of the Spanish Government. The insurrection of the 2d of May, 1808, against the French, was ordered by the Municipality of Madrid to be celebrated with great pomp. The families of the victims who perished on that memorable occasion were invited to attend. On the Bourse on the 31st ult. three bargains were done in the Three per Cents. for 23i at 60 days, with i premium, and 17 in the Five per Cents., with 11 coupons, for 26a 27 at 20 days, and 28 1 / 2 % at 60 days, with i premium. There is not much news in the French journals of Sunday. The Government was busily employed sifting the details of the conspiracy discovered in the capital on Thursday and Friday, for killing the KING. The news papers say little upon the subject, Ministers wisely re solving to make no unnecessary noise about the affair. Now that the walls are in progress, the less that is said about crimes so enormous the better. Nothing is more dangerous than to familiarise the public mind with the possible commission of such an enormity as the murder of a Sovereign. The ensemble of the first article of the Railway Bill has been adopted by the Chamber of Deputies. It esta blishes the following lines :- 1. From Paris to the Belgian frontiers. 2. From Paris to the Channel. 3. From Paris to the frontiers of Germany, by Nancy, and Strasbourg. 4. From Paris to the Mediterranean, by Lyons, Marseilles, and Cette. 5. From Paris to the frontiers of Spain, by Tours, Bor deaux, and Bayonne. 6. From Paris to the Ocean, by Tours and Nantes. 7. From Paris to the centre of France, by Bourges. 8. From the Mediterranean to the Rhine, by Lyons, Dijon, and Mulhausen. 9. And lastly, from the Mediterranean to the Ocean, by Toulouse and Bordeaux. The French Government has authorised the establish ment of several nunneries of Sisters of Mercy and Sisters of St. Theresa, who devote themselves to the education of the poor and rich. The following are extracts from the French Journals The tailor in whose house the incendiary bombs were seized in named Orit. The number of persons arrested is twenty•- two. Among them is said to be Piegard, who was condemned for the affair of the Rue des Prouvaires, and pardoned. M. Jourdain, she examining Judge, continues the investiga tion into the affair. _ . __..... 'I he Commerce publishes a letter from a Captain Williams, dated Havre, the 6th instant, complaining of the conduct of a collector at Sydney, New South Wales, in having seized a French whaler, called the Ville de Bordeaux, under the pre tence that she had violated some local regulations. The let ter further states, that " the British Government offered to restore the ship, on condition that the owner paid the expenses of the capture. The owner refused, and brought an action against the English Government." The action is pending, but " the owner says he expects no redress unless a French ship of war be sent on the station." The Phare says—" rue accounts which we receive, by pri vate letters from Catalonia, are rather serious. On the tthth there was a disturbance in the Theatre of Barelona ; seditious cries were uttered. On the following day there was some agi tation in the city; the Captain-General, Van Halen, had thought it necessary to double the posts, and to take other mea -sures'to-piessentany disorder. The-cause of all these demon sttatians is said• to, he a, letter which ;11. Villavregul s 3 ept ty to the Coi- l tes, is reportisd to have written to his constituents, to aequant them with his apprehensions respecting the Treaty of Commerce with England ; the preponderance of that power in Spain, and the credit which M. Arlen enjoys at Madrid, makes the Deputy fear that it will be speedily signed. All these re ports, which sensible people consider to be exaggerated, make a surprising impression on the mass of the people. Already sew, al manufactories at Manresa and Borr,a are closed. The workmen are discontinued." The Barcelona Journals of the Ist of May, announce, in fact, that for the last two days energetic measures of precaution hail been taken to prevent any disturbance.— Commerce.

The Bill has passed through Committee, and is now a mere skeleton.

LIVER root, INIONDAY EVENING.—An accident attended with fatal consequences happened on the Mersey this after noon, about two o'clock. It will be recollected that a fatal ac cident occurred on this river a week ago, by , the swamping of a pleasure-boat, by which three young gentlemen were unfor tunately drowned; and although a handsome reward had been offered for the recovery cf their bodies, they have not yet been found. A Runcorn flat running up the river at about half-past one to-day, saw a corp.e floating in the water, Being under sail, she could not make a successful attempt to recover it, but hailed a boat off the George's Pier, and having told them the circumstance, they immediately went in pursuit ; another boat also went off for the same purpose. In the contest which occurred who should reach the part of the river where the corp.ie was supposed to have floated, it is feared the boats in question hoisted more sail than was irudent in the squally state of the weather, and in the short sea that occurs in our river, when the wind meets the tide. They were about the middle of the river, when the boat capsized, and four hands were instantly immersed ire the water. The Egremont steamer fortunately Ncit nessvd the accident, and steering for the scene, picked up William Woods. a married man ; a no th er , Willi am illvery fortunately carried by the current athwart thtarctnhitg was of a brig, lying out at anchor i n th e stream, and held on until he was acEsted on i a ly, , si ‘ n y g e l r e e m u a n n t „ o a rt n u d n O ate w l e y n d G ro r w iffi ned ths :, board but th e two ot h er e wa a s ce n i o d t en fo t, un ti: i e . corpse vvhi c h am marrieden, named m aJna with a a y o f a r m , lalt:tidi been eticieonefatutssieotiotalueseic,lu rbsyu'itth, In Deeein'oer last a bull-dot,e, belonging to M. pigeon, a wood-merchant, on the Chaussee du Malne, got out of the yard, and entering the lodge of the porter of a neighbouring house, named Pasquier, seized his child, between five t.nd six years old, and caused its death.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENINC-r, MAN 10, 1842. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND 13ttbitc eptiltott. " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. The Gazette des Tribunaux states, that a number of persons were arrested on Thursday and Friday last in Paris, charged with a conspiracy to kill the King. The police discovered a vast number of incendiary bombshells at the residence of a tailor, in the Passage Violet. A quantity of gunpowder and cartouches, just made, were discovered in other quarters. Amongst the persons arrested are said to be Considere, who had been twice tried and acquitted before the Chamber of Peers, and Poncelet, who was convicted of having been engaged in the conspiracy of the Rue des Prouvaires and amnestied. The judicial investigation was proceeding with the utmost activity. The Moniteur announces that Counts De Grouchy and Iloudetot, Camp Marshals, are to be promoted to the rank of Lieutenant-Generals, in place of General Delort, admitted into the section of the reserve, and Lieutenant-General Terlet, deceased. Colonels Dulem bert,Devaux, De Blocqueville, Locqueneaux, Audoy, La fosse, Thiery, and Gentil, are appointed Camp Marshals. The Gazette of Upper Germany of the 4th instant states, that when M. Pageot applied to Prince Metternich to enter into an arrangement relative to the Queen of Spain's marriage, the Prince replied-Ist, that the northern Powers would not interfere with respect to the Queen of Spain's marriage until the favourable moment should arrive ; 2dly, that they would not interfere in the internal affairs of Spain, nor would they acknowledge the existing Government ; 3dly, that neither the French nor English Government could induce them to alter their determination. "We have been assured," says the Semaphore de Marseilles of the 4th instant, "that Charles Albert, King of Sardinia, has lately adopted a measure worthy of the worst times of the middle ages. He has ordered the expulsion of the Israelites from the town of Savona, within three days, and the re-union in one of the filthiest streets in Genoa (which will thus have its Ghetto) of the Jewish population of that city." ) The Prussian State Gazette states, that in pursua nce ' of an ordinance, dated the 23d of March last, the Vice roy of Poland was about to issue a third series of Trea sury bonds, to the amount of 60,000 Polish florins, bearing interest at 5 per cent. PARLIAMENTARY. In the House of Lords yesterday Earl De Grey in• formed some Noble Lord, who had asked him the ques. tion, that Mr. Biddulph had been put out of the Commis. sion of the Peace for Ireland. The Marquis of Normanby thought Mr. Biddulph ought to have been dismissed before; and on his motion the correspondence relative to the report was ordered to be laid on the table. The Marquis of Normanby afterwards defended the Sunderland Magistrates from some unfounded attacks of the Marquis of Londonderry. The latter Noble Marquis defended himself, but not very successfully, which in duced his Gallant Friend, the Duke of Wellington, to take him under his protection, and convey him into safety. Their Lordships afterwards adjourned. In the Commons, after a number of petitions had been presented,'"Mr. asko a crtiesticm'about the dis missal of Mr. BlDnumjit, whit appears, has been tam pering with justice, but Lord ELIOT would not answer. Mr. SHILL and the Noble Lord were, however, both sa tisfied. The debate on Mr. Ronnucx's motion was renewed, after petitions from Reading and Southampton bad been presented, praying for an inquiry. Major Beresford defended himself, and, proceeding on rumour, made some severe persoual remarks on Mr. Roebuck's accusing him of malevolence, and of becoming a Member of the House without a qualification. Mr. Wynn, Mr. Ward, Sir IL Inglis, Lord Palmerston, Lord John Russell, Sir Robert Peel, Lord Stanley, and others, spoke on the sub ject ; but the Ccnunittee, with some limitations on Mr. Roebuck's original motion, was granted. The Report n the Income Tax Bill was then consi dered. Mr. B. Wood proposed his clause to allow the losses in one trade to be set oil' against the profits in an other trade carried on by the same person, in order to ascertain his income. The Chancellor of the Exchequer opposed it because it would open a door to fraud. The clause was rejected, as was also Mr. Gill's, by consider able majorities. The Report was then received. The adjourned debate on Mr. Ferrand's Payment of Wages Committee was resumed, and in the end the Com mittee appointed. The House adjourned at Half-fast Twelve o'Clock. 'PUBLIC OPINION. The Chronicle says, in reference to Mr. Roebuck's motion : " It was impossible to listen to the debate last night without being strongly impressed with the necessity cf great vigilance upon the part of the Liberal party, to prevent the object of this inquiry being defeated by their opponents. While upon the one hand the Government refused to take up the subject themselves, there was an evidea dispsition among their party to restrict as much as possible the limits of inquiry. It would he manifestly but a mockery to enter upon it without such powers as are essential to enable the Committee to go to the very root of the evil. Fur this purpose, an Indemnity Bill must be passed, and when it is proposed we trust we shall hear none of that canting respect for the principle of our law that protects all men from the necessity of criminating them selves, and which we have recently heard lauded with much constitutional fervour. By all means, let protection be given against the legal penalties of confessed delinquencies; but beyond this protection should not be given. If it be, Air. Roe buck's motion will terminate as it began, by a short-lived sen sation in the House of Commons and the clubs. Let us avoid this as we would avoid inquiry by another tribunal, one of last resort, to the exercise of whose jurisdictions upon such questions we should look with the most serious apprehensions. The Post says—" Those modern luminaries in politics and politeness, the Marquis of Normanby and Mr. Hutt, of Gates head, have certainly not been quite so successful in their Par liamentary on-sets respecting the Borough Magistracy as their admirers, no doubt, expected. They have invited an exposure of the misdeeds of their own party, which otherwise need not have been made. Though to help a lame dog over a style is not very glorious work, yet this have some journals essayed with respect to the unlucky faitire of Messrs. Normanby and Hutt. They seek to add to the logic and eloquence of these great senators such arguments as further thought has suggested, and such as may, perhaps, be considered to soothe the disap pointment of those who expected some victory—alas! how vain the expectation !—from the united exploit of the Noble Lord and Honourable commoner." The following remarks are from the Times:—" There have been few matters of greater importance since the present session of Parliament opened, none of greaser interest and curiosity, than the Member for Bath's motion, respecting com promises in Parliamentary elections, bribery, venality, and the host of mischiefs attending the present state of the represen tation. Those who delight in a high-flavoured meal may here feed upon corruption as of the Roebuck and of the Hart.' The business, however, was settled last night, not finally we trnst, but for the present, by what we may call a general acquiescence, for general ac commodation, that the business of inquiry had better be confined to narrower hounds. Alas ! and is the grand Parliamentary Reform come to this ? Yes ; and we will tell the nation, what perhaps it very well knows already, that corruption has extended up to the very bounds to which the Parliamentary franchise has been extended : and to whatever limits you stretch the franchise farther, sedet airs cura behind it, an equal stretch or extension of corruption will follow. We cannot alter human nature. Under the old system, corruption was comparatively snug, quiet, and tranquil. Men of genius, virtue, and talent got into Parliament by it. How many of such have started to light, to distinction, and eminence under the present system ? We fear to answer the question. Lower the franchise, and you will a course get more of a coarser article." IVIONEY—TIZADE —COMMERCE. The Cheltenham and Great Western Railway held • its half yearly meeting at Cirencester last Wednesday, when a dividend of 255. per share out of the profits of working was declared, to be payable on the 24th of June.

LAW AND POLICE. A spinner, at Liverpool, named Peter Whittle, cut the throat of his wife on Saturday, at the moment of his pre tending to embrace her, and immediately after attempted to destroy himself. His wife expired almost directly, and doubts are entertained of the murderer's recovery. In the bankruptcy cae of Seddon and Seddon, a proof against the separate estate of Mr. George for 10,5001., under the marriage settlement of his wife was admitted, and the bankrupts declared to have passed. The sale of their effects has been refixed for the 2d of next month, as the day for which it formerly stood fell urion the "Derby day." Stanfield Jackson, a young man who came of age in 1841, appeared at the Insolvent Debtors' Court yesterday. Among the statements opposed against him was that he had received, since May last, 1,114/., the whole of which had extravagantly disappeared, and he was now in great poverty. Another sum of 4001. he got rid of in less than two months while in the Fleet. His debts in the aggregate were set forth at 12,1991. 3s. 9d. The Court severely remarked on the blame able extravagance of the insolvent, and adjourned the case to serve a creditor. FINE ARTS. The annual distribution of prizes to the students at Guy's Hospital took place yesterday, after which the bust of the late Sir Astley Cooper, raised by his pupils to his memory, : a cost of 400 guineas, was opened to inspection.

None of them were suited to pub lication. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) Lord DEN MAN sat at Nisi Prius with a Middlesex Common Jury, and disposed of several undefended causes in the early part of the morning. No case of any public interest had been called on up to the time of our going to press. EX CHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) CORLETT V. LEWES. This was an action for the recovery of a sum of 2001., the amount of a bill endorsed by the defendant, who was a clergy man in Wales. The plaintiff was the representative of the North and South Wales Bank, by which the money had been advanced. The defendant was but one of se veral endorsers ; and it was stated that he had merely signed the bill for the accommodation of a friend, and that he had received no portion of the money. It was attempted to be shown for the defence, that due notice had not been given of dishonour, and next, that an arrangement had taken place between the parties, by which it was agreed that the Bank should stay any further proceedings in the case. The first objection was overruled ; and upon the second paint it ap peared that the only compromise agreed to on the part of the Bank was, that they should allow the defendant a certain time to pay the amount of the bill. That time bad, howover, since expired. The jury immediately found a verdict fo the plaintiff. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) WALTER V. BUTEMAN AND OTHERS. This was an action brought by the plaintiff for the purpose of establishing the validity of a patent he had taken out for a carding machine for wool. The case had not concluded when we went to press, and there is every probability of its lasting two or three days. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURi'._ George Porter, 26, labourer, and William Garwood, 40, labourer, were indicted for stealing on the Ist of April, 651 b. weight of hay, and other articles, consisting- of sacks, the pro perty of Joseph Samuel Lesher, and others. The prosecutor is the landlord of the Rising Sun public house in Eastham. The prisoner Garwood was his ostler, and the other prisoner was a carter. On the slay in question the prisoner Porter was at the Rising Sun with his cart. He was observed by a policeman to place a quantity of hay in his cart, and the two prisoners left the premises together. The evidence was deemed not suffic►ently conclusive ag:;inst the prisoner Garwood, and the jury, therefore, acquitted him, but they found the other prisoner guilty. He was sentenced to six months' imirrisonmer.t. The•other cases t0...1ay were of trifling importance. • - _ TV Catil?T. Alfred Woodman was indicted for stealing a quantity of printing type, of the value of 10/., the property of John Browne his master. The prisoner was a porter in the service of Mr. Bell, who is a printer, residing in the Strand. In consequence of infor mation the prosecutor received respecting the prisoner, he went to his (prisoner's) lodgings in Neville's-Ci.urt. getter-lace, where he found a quantity of type, which he identified as his property. The prisoner, on being questioned, gave a very un satisfactory account as to how be came possessed of the pro perty, but he denied having stolen it. Be was given into et.s tody. The prisoner said, in his defence, that the type had been brought to his lodgings by a person who wanted to sell it. The Jury immediately found the prisoner guilty, and lie was sentenced to four months' imprisonment and barn labour. John Wasserman, 23, labourer, and Lewis Lawrence, 52, labourer, were indicted for stealing four watches and four chains, value 50/., the property of Wm. Thomas Middleton, in his dwelling-house. The prisoners pleaded not guilty to the indictment, but en the recommendation of Mr. Ballantine, his Counsel, Lawrence retracted his plea to that of guilty. 'f he trial of the other pri soner was postponed to a future day. PQLICE INTELLIGENCE. UN:ON-HALL.L(THIS UAY.) Richard Nicholls was charged with committing a violent assault on Thomas S.kinner, and bzeakina his leg. The complainant was unable to attend, but from the evidence adduced it appeared that the complainant is a beershop-ki ever, and that the prisoner had been drinking there a few days ago. When he left the house a half-gallon measure was rnissinfr, and the complainant suspecting he was the party who had taken it, followed him for the purpose of getting it back. When he came up with the prisoner, seeing that he had something bulky under his coat he seized him by the collar, arid Charged him with taking the measure, which he had at the time, upon which the fellow, who had iron-tipped shoes on his feet, gave the complainant such a violent kick as to break one of his legs. He fell down, unable to move, and in that state was carried back to his house, his assailant in the meantimemaktng his escape. The prisoner was subsequently taken into custody, and the Magistrate remanded him until the complainant is in a at condition to appear. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The West India letters by the Clyde present rather a more encouraging ace - aunt from Jamaica, and the other islands, than those previously received. The weather had been most propitious, and the crops generally promised to be abundant. The labourers had returned to their employments, were peace able, and apparently well satisfied, to conform with the new arrangements. The departure of Sir Charles Metcalfe was greatly regretted, and it had been proposed to erect a statue as a testimony of thb esteem in which he is held. The accountelfrom Demerara are still unsatisfactory, the negroes on many of the estates were yet standing out, and although the nitniagers had offered to comply with their demands, tl.ey weitiltt not work, preferring idleness to employ ment; it is evident that some bad management has existed. this being the only colony in a similar state. Trade also was much depressecl,and great stress is laid upon the fact of a parcel of coals having been r eshipped to England. This would cer tainly prove that commercial distress was great, hut still it may arise from some iarticular circumstances which obliged this course to be adopted. Trinidad, on The contrary, appears to be in a flourishing con dition ; the island, it is stated, is doing well, and will make a large crop. A private letter states, " All the estates in the district will greatly increase their produce this year--a rare event in the West Indies in these times. Our own crop of sugar, a better one we hope it will prove to be than we have had these three years, is now advancing, though not with rapi dity, owing to the frequent showers, and the canes not being generally ripe." Complaints of these new steamers appear in every raper, but as instructions have been sent out, by which it is to be ex pected the defects will be remedied, it would be invidious to make more particular allusion to them. The Trent arrived at Barbadoes after a passage of twenty-three days. By the packet-ship New York, intelligence from New York to the 20th ult. has been received; the vessel has made the passage in the short space of eighteen days. The information is of no great importance, neither does it add much to the former accounts. In addition to the details in another column, an extraordinary fact is to be noticed of the Americans ship ping cotton direct to Canton. This cargo had been purchased at from 4to 5 cents. per lb., and sanguine expectations were entertained that a market would thus be opened, rendering them independent of England for the consumption of the lower qualities. If this be continued, it will doubtless interfere ma terially with our East India trade, but no great alarm need be felt for some time at any rate. PRICES OF SHARES THIS DAY AT ONE.

LONDON AND CROYDON RAIL- WAY.-(THIS . DAY.) A special general meeting of the Shareholders in this Railway, was held this day at the London Tavern, Bishops gate-street, for the purpose of receiving from the Solicitor to the Company a draft of a Bill about to be introduced to Par liament, for the purpose of extending the railway to the West end of London. _ _ From the prospectus submitted to the meeting, it appeared that the object of this measure (promoted by the South Eastern and Croydon Railway Companies), is to afford better aecommo. dation for the merchandise, cattle, &c. , conveyed along the Croy don, Dover, and Brighton Railways, from the counties of Surrey, Kent, and Sussex, and also to provide for the convenience of the public residing at the western parts of the metropolis, tra- , yelling on these Railways, especially those who have with them I their own carriages and horses. Already serious complaints are made by passengers on the Brighton Railway, coming from the West-end of London, of the inconvenience and loss of time to which they are subjected by having to proceed to and from the present station, through the crowded streets of the City and Borough ; and it is scarcely necessary to add that such station neither is, nor can be, adapted to the accommo dation of the whole of the extensive traffic in cattle, hops, and general merchandise, from the counties of Sussex and Kent. The present application to Parliament is, therefore, made to provide for these important objects. It is intended to form a roadway or approach, from the Grange-road (near the Green Man turnpike, in the Old Kent-road), to the Croydon Railway. near Corbetts-lane. The length of the proposed road is about one mile ; it proceeds through an open district, interfering with but one or two buildings, and those of a very inferior description. The line has been carefully surveyed under the direction of Mr. Cubitt, the engineer of the South Eastern Railway Company. The Solicitor to the Company having read the Bill to the meeting, the following resolution was proposed and passed : " That this meeting approves of the object of this Bill, and of the same passing into a law, subject to such alterations as to Parliament may seem meet." The meeting then separated. ELECTION COMMITTEES. (THIS DAY.) LYME REGIS. The Committee met at the usual hour. Mr. Hawes in the Chair.

There were few public sales, but a fair business was done by private contract, and, with one or two exceptions, full prices were obtained. TEA MARKET. Nearly 19,000 packitges of Tea were brought to public auc tion. The attendance of the trade was good, but the biddings were very languid, and prices were rather lower from the small quantity sold.

Sir William, who was a gentleman dealer in articles of vertu, sold them, with a fine cameo of Augustus, and a fragment of an intaglio of Hercules, to the Duchess of Portland, for 2,000/. On her death, the greater or more bulky part of her collections were sold in May and June, 1786, when the Duke of Portland bought in the Barberini Vase for 1,029/. and Walpole purchased the head of Jupiter Serapis for 173/. 55., and, a 3 he observes, "It was a mere head; Mrs. Dancer in 1789, added the bust in bronze."

Ds. MURDER AT HIGHBURY. Immediately upon the arrival of the prisoner, Cooper, at Newgate, he was visited by Mr. M'Murdo, the surgeon of the gaol, who, seeing his appearance, directed his immediate re moval to the infirmary of the gaol, where he now is, in a very weak and exhausted condition. It is understood that the im pression upon the minds of the medical officers of the prison is, that he has taken some mineral poison, or other deleterious ingredient, and it appears doubtful whether he will be in a fit state to take his trial at the present session of the Central Criminal Court. Mr. Horry, who is appointed to conduct his defence, has been in communication with the prisoner, and has obtained a copy of the depositions, and taken the necessary steps preparatory to the defence, but the wretched man is in such a weak state that it is not at all probable that the Judges will allow him to be tried until his strength is stifin ( icntly restored to enable him to bear the fatigue of the trial. It is at present understood that Good will be tried for the Roe hampton murder on Thursday, and his trial, and that of his two accomplices, will certainly occupy the Court until Satur day night; so that in any case Cooper's trial will not come on before Monday, but the impression of persons officially con nected with the Court is, that the trial will be postponed unti l the next session.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. CHRONICLE.--The reduction in the rate of dis counts by the Bank of England, their departure from all legitimate principles of banking, by tempting parties to ask for loans on railroad debentures and other securities, which are always inconvertible in seasons of pressure, followed by this appeal to the charity of the public in behalf of the operatives in the manufacturing districts, are all part and parcel of the Ministerial policy. They are weak and unstatesmanlike proceedings, and while high protecting duties are maintained upon the staple articles of subsistence, totally inadequate as a remedy for the national distress. The recent disclosures of systematic frauds by bank rupts to the prejudice of creditors have created a gene ral demand for an amendment of the Bankrupt Act. The subject was discuseed at a meeting lately in the Guildhall, when a committee of bankers and merchants was appointed to watch over the Bills for the amendment of the law, now before the House of Lords, prepared by Lord Cottenham and the Lord Chan cellor. The main object of these Bills, we believe, is to meet cases of fraudulent bankruptcy, and to authorise the application of stringent measures where dishonesty is admitted or proved. The subject is one of deep im portance, and calls for the serious attention of the Legis lature. By an amalgamation of the two Bills now before the Upper House, a practical measure may be obtained to provide a check against the repetition of such dis graceful conduct as that which lately appeared in the proceedings before the Commissioners of Bankrupts. A very general opinion is entertained that the objections, started by the legal profession to the consolidation of the Court of Insolvent Debtors with the Court of Bank ruptcy, are more specious than real, and that great bene fit would ensue from a fusion of these tribunals. SUN—Towards the close of business the funds recovered from the dullness with which they were characterised in the early part of the day, and the price of Consols im -roved to 924 921 for money, and 921 921 for the ac ount. Bank Stock 167 168 ; India Stock 248 249, and Exchequer Bills 37 40 premium. In the Foreign Securities no great deal was done, and prices remained as on Saturday. Belgian, 1014 1024; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 53 534 ; the Five per Cents. 101 1014 ; Danish, 804 81i ; and Brazilian, 67 68. Railroad Shares were a shade better in price, with more business. London and Birmingham, 90 92 ; Great Western, 28 29 ; the Half Shares, 14/ 15 premium. Birmingham and Gloucester, 52 54 ; South Western, 63 64 ; Gosport, 63 64 ; North Mid land, 64 66, the New Shares, 32 34 ; South Eastern and Dover, 30 301, the Scrip, 71 71 ; Eastern Counties, 91 91 ; Blackwr.ll, 111 12, the New Shares, 91 10 ; and Brighton, 361 36i per share. Upon a supposition, which is generally believed to be correct, that the Clyde has about fifty thousand dollars on account of the dividend& the quotafion of Mexican has improved 14 per cent being now 34,E 344. The bonds of the insolvent States were thus nomi nally quoted :—Colombian, 261 261 ; Portugaese, the Five per Cents., 371 384, the Three per Cents, 221 23 ; Spanish Five per Cents., 23i, 231, and the Three per Cents. 221 23. Private letters from Bahia mention that the Pro vincial Government have remitted 8,000/. to Eng land on account of the dividends. This certainly has the appearance of a determination on the part of the General Government to keep faith as far as may be in its power.with the foreign. creditors, although it has not at times been very scrupulous iu causing the surplus rev& limes of the provinces which should have remained en tirely for the bondholders, to be applied to the general exigencies of the State. It is much to be regretted that many of these countries, which are so deeply indebted to England, pecuniarily as well as morally, will not act in a . like straightforward manner, in preference to allowing their national credit to be so seriously compromised as it is at present.

Husne, Joseph INQUESTS An inquest was held yesterday, at the Crown, Butler's- Luildings, St. Katherine Docks, before Mr. Baker, on the body of David Davies, aged 30, a seaman belonging to the Se nator barque, of Liverpool. Francis Kerr, Captain of the Se nator, said that the crew, consisting of 15 men, were in good health until about three months ago, during the voyage from Ceylon to London. The voyage usually occupies 80 days, and the provisions had been shipped sufficient to last for that time ; but, owing to bad weather, the passage was protracted to 120 days, and for the last 20 they were compelled to beg food irosn other ships. About two months ago deceased and several of the men were found to be suffering from scurvy, and on Friday last, two days after arriving in the Thames, he died. By the Coroner—l think that if there had been fresh provi sions, vegetables, &c., on board, the deceased would have re covered. James Smith, carpenter of the Senator, attributed ►he complaint of which deceased died to the want of sufficient fresh meat. The Jury found a verdict of " Natural death." Yesterday an inquest was taken before Messrs. Gell and Higgs, coroners for Westminster, at the Feathers, Dean-street, on the body of Mary Ann Dorty, aged 25. It appeared that that the deceased lodged at No. 3, Castle-lane, Westminster. She was of drunken habits, and on the afternoon of the previous Monday she quarrelled with a woman named Sainsbury, who lived next door to her. They were both the worse for liquor, and their words coming to blows, deceased was very much beaten, and the same night complained of being very ill, and vomited blood. She continued in the same state till Thursday last, when she said she felt much worse, adding that it was all through the blows she had received on the Monday, and she thought that she should not live till the morning. She was found next day in bed, dead and cold, with a quantity of blood, which had come from her mouth, on the pillow. The woman Sainsbury was subsequently apprehended on the charge of having caused the death of deceased, and being conveyed before 111 r. Gregorie, at Queen. square Police-office, was remanded till a coroner's inquest had sat on the body. Mr. John Wright, surgeon, said that he had made a post mortena examination of the body of the deceased, and, in the left cavity of the chest found from a pint to a quart of fluid, and about two pounds of coagulated blood, arising from a rupture of the principal vessel of the heart, which was the cause of death. He was of opinion that such rupture might have been accele rated by passion, excitement, or violent exertion, although he had no doubt, from the diseased state of the vessel alluded to, that the cause of her death would at any time have been the same as it now was. He considered her death a natural one. There being no further testimony, the Jury returned a verdict of—" Natural death." INDIA. The following is a correct copy of a letter received from Captain John Hoppe, brother of the undersigned, 16th Ben gal Native Infantry, and adjutant of Shah Soojah's 2d Regiment Infantry. J. H. led the storming party, and was wounded at Khelat i.Ghilzie. It will be read with interest by all who have friends at Candahar (come%) " Candahar ' February 14, 1842. "My dear Father,--We are, thank God, all safe at this place, although in daily expectation of the people in the town rising against u', and the enemy, only twenty-five miles off, are threatening to attack us. Our communication with Caubul and the provinces is cut off, and report rays that Sir W. M'Naghten, the Envoy and Minister, is murdered, with several other officers. It is to be hoped in the spring troops w ill be pushed up from India—for we can do nothing at this season—when, please God, we will give them a lessen they little think of. General Nott, with a large force, went against the rebels, collected only eight miles from Can dahar, and killed and wounded 700 or 800 of them, but they are increasing in numbers every day, and one of Shah Soojah's sons (Safter Jung) at their head. It is said they dined in their shrouds the other day, and swore upon the Koran that they would either murder us all, or be killed in the attempt. You may rely upon my writing whenever an opportunity occurs, and should you see any of Manning's people or Hol royd's, you can tell them that at present we are all safe and well at Candahar. I have not heard from England for the last three months.—With my best love to all, believe me, my dear father to be, &e., "JOHN HOPPE." .6 to Charles Hoppe, Esq., " Withycombe Ranleigh, Exmouth, Devon." The little town of Vitteaux, in the department of the Cote d'Or, was last week visited by a violent storm, ac companied by an extraordinary fall of rain. The town was soon flooded, and great damage was done by the water bursting into the houses through the doors and windows. Four persons w ere d 2 owned. A few days ago, says the Sentinelle de Jura, the electric fluid entered at Mesney, near Arbois, the house of a miller, named Jour-d'hui, through a window, breaking the large stone below. The miller's wife was struck on the neck, and a gold chain which went three times round it was broken in six pieces. Her dress was burnt, as well as two handker chiefs which she wore. The fluid appears to have run (!own her body, for her shoulders, hip, and leg were scorched, and her stocking was burnt to some extent. It at last made its exit by the ceiling, passed through the garret, overturned part of the wall, and set fire to a cherry-tree 150 feet from the house. Two other women who were in the room with Madame Jour-d'hui were unhurt. M. Charles Maurice, the proprietor, and M. Le maitre, the responsible editor of a journal called the Courrier des Theatres, appeared on Wednesday befire the Correctional Tribunal, to answer a charge of having fraudulently evaded the law, requiring that the responsible editor of a daily journal should be the real owner of one-third of the cautionnement of 100,000 f. It was proved that M. Lernaitre was not in this position, and that M. Charles Maurice had provided the funds for him, in order that. he might take his own pace as a respon s.ble editor, and thus relieve him from the consequences of condemnation for libel. They were both found guilty, and ordered to pay a fine of 10,000 f., each being liable to the whole fine in the event of non-payment of any portion by the other. The Tribunal also ordered the suppression of the journal. The Government of Lucerne has addressed a cir cular to all the other Cantons of Switzerland, inviting them to come to a definitive resolution in the affair of the convents of Argau. SPORTING. The second Spring Meeting, such a signal failure last year, there being but seven races in the three days, commences to-morrow. There are several plates down on the nearly , skeleton list before me, two matches and the Suffolk Stakes, to which there were 27 subscribers, and for which there are twelve ac ceptances, only one of which, Florence, has already paid forfeit. Of the remaining eleven, two are in Dilly stable, two in Edward's, and two in Treen's we can therefore hardly calculate on more than seven runners, Fidhawn, I_presume, having had enough of it at Chester. Bob Peel is well in, but remembering the running of the best horse in the Chester Cup, in dependent of all weights and measures, I should stand on Ralph. I do not imagine we shall see many of the Derby horses ; the Rowley Mile Plate sometimes introduces a favourite, and before now has shown us the winner; but the ground is hard still, and no man in his senses would bring a horse out this week, who has even 40 to 1 chance at Epsom. Under this impression, 1 subjoin a list of the performances of the favourites and others likely to start for the greatest Derby ever known ; thus those who follow public running here have it in black and white before them.

On Tuesday morning he was found drj hanging to one of the beams. At first it was believed bet;o, committed suicide, but the fact of all his money having oat' taken from him, and other circumstances, gave conviction he had been both robbed and murdered.
