Mr. Rumball said he should apply the money to some such urpose. - - Cross-examined—He took no part in this election either by canvassing or voting, or in any other ; manner. Witness was a Blue, but he had formerly supported the other party. Mr. Cabbell was behind on the poll from the commencement ; the paper was handed in about twelve o'clock, which was in time when it was very important for a candidate who was behind to endeavour to bring up the poll. He was rather surprised at the occurrence, not at hearing that bribery was practised at St. Alban's, but that it should be made public. —( A laugh.) Baron ALDERSON—You were not surprised at the bribery, but that any one should admit he had been bribed.—(Renewed laughter.) Witness—That was the case. John Stebbing was then called; he appeared to be very ill, and a chair was placed for his accommodation ; before he was sworn he handed a note to the Court. Baron ALDERSON having perused it, addressed the witness, and said he declined to he sworn on account of his being very ill, but that was no ground to excuse him from being sworn. Stebbing said he had been ill for three years. Baron ALDERSON—That is no reason why you should refuse to be sworn to speak the truth. Witness,-I object to be sworn. Baron ALDERSON—Then I shall be obliged, ill as you ate, to commit you. Witness—l have eaten nothing for three days. Baron A EDER soN—That is no ground for your refusal. You shall have some food first, if you like. Witness—l cannot eat. Baron ALDERSON—You must be sworn. itness—lf I take the oath, I call God to witness that I will speak the truth, and I feel my memory to be so bad that I cannot do it. Witness ultimately took the oath, but owing to the imbecility displayed by him, little credit was given to his evidence. He stated the Doctor bribed him with 12./. Mr. Sergeant SIIEE addressed the Jury in a powerful and eloquent speech. He ridiculed the idea of the House of Com mons vindicating its purity by prosecuting a medical man at St. Alban's, where conception was so rife in the whole House, vindicated the character of the defendant, showed the total want of creditality in Adams and Stebbing's testimony, and called upon the Jury to show their sense of the hypocrisy of such prosecu ions, and of the innocence of the defendant, by a ver dict in his favour. After a short consultation, the Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. THURSDAY. DUNN V. COMM. This was an action brought by Richard Dunn, the Irish barrister, against Mr. Boyce Combe, one of the Magistrates of Ilatton-garden Police Court, for false imprisonment. Mr. James and Mr. Lush conducted the plaintiff's case ; Mr. Thrsiger ' Mr. Espinasse, and Mr. M. Chamb ers, ap peared for the defendant. Mr. JAMES, on opening the case on behalf of his client, said 'that there was no malicious inti ntion imputed to the defendant by the present action ; but, as he was instructed, it would appear that, under a mistaken notion of the law, he had deprived the plaintiff of his liberty, and had occasioned him se rious inconvenience, and it was for this that he now sought for compensation at the hands of the Jury. It appeared that, in June 1840, Miss Burdett Coutts exhibited articles of the peace against Mr. Dunn, and upon her state ment the Magistrates, at the Middlesex Sessions, granted a warrant for the apprehension of Mr. Dunn, and calling upon him to find sureties to keep the peace; and upon that warrant Mr. Dunn was taken into custody, and brought before Mr. Combe, at the Police Court where he presided, and that gentleman, without making any inquiry as to the sufficiencylof the articles of the peace which had been exhibited against him, thought fit to order Mr. Dunn to find sureties, and in default he was committed to the New Prison, to which place he was conveyed as a felon in the felon's van, and he was there confined for a period of four months. Mr. Dunn was all along satisfied of the insufficiency of the articles of the peace, and he took the necessary proceeding by habeas to bring the matter before the Court of Queen's Bench, when the question was fully argued, and the Judges decided that the pro. ceedings were insufficient, and the plaintiff was set at liberty. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to make some further observations in reference to the alleged informal proceedings of the Quarter Sessions, and concluded by saying that Mr. Dunn did not seek for vindictive damages, but all he desired was a fair and reasonable compensation for the misery and anxiety that had occurred to him by the illegal conduct of the defendant. Witnesses were then called to prove the arrest and impri sonment. Mr. TtlEstr,Ea made along speech in reply, when Baron ALDERSON addressed the Jury, and said that he was of opinion that in law the plaintiff was entitled to a verdict. As to the amount of damages, it would be for them to say what damages he ought to receive under the circumstances. The Jury immediately returned a verdict for the plaintiff.— Damages One Farthing. When the verdict was delivered, Mr. Dunn rose, and in a very excited manner was about to address the Learned Judge ; but Mr. Baron Alderson, this being the last case, ordered the Court to be adjourned, and immediately turned his back to him and left the Court. Mr. Dunn then addressed his Counsel in a violent tone, and accused them of having " basely sold" him, and said the case hid been conducted in a manner entirely in oppo,ition to his instructions. FAILURE OF MESSRS. WIGNEY'S BANK. BRIGHTON, FRIDA T.—The shock will be severely felt, as the majority of their customers were the trades men of the town ; and it is generally reported that only a small dividend will be paid. Amongst the sufferers are a great number of the Brighton fishermen, who have here work for the urpose of fishing for mackerel off Plymouth , and were in the habit cf sending their money to the bank weekly for security, until their return home. These poor f Hews have from 20/. to 80/. each of their hard earnings deposited in the bank. In consequence of the failure, a run was immediately made on the two other banks, the Union and the London and County Joint Stock Bank, acd this afternoon a highly respectable meeting took place at the Town-hall, for the purpose of expressing pub lic confidence in the other banks. l' - he High Constable took the chair and briefly addressed the meeting, stating that they were aware of the cause that had called them together and trusted that the resolutions which would be proposed would in spire that confidence which was desirable for the good ofthe town. The Rev. T. W. Scorr moved the first resolution, which was seconded by Mr. SMITH H A NNINGTON, to the effect that under the painful circumstances of the suspension of payments by the banking establishment of Messrs. Wigney, it is expedient that prompt steps should be taken to publicly express the confidence . 41 the inhabitants in the two remaining banks, Messrs. Hall, West, and Borrer, and the London and County Bank. Mr. HALL returned thanks on behalf of the Union Bank, and said that having received intimation a few days back of the lamentable occurrence, he had made every provision to meet any demand th .t might be made upon them, and trusted the firm would continue to. the mutual advantage of all parties. ; - The meeting expressed itg most unlimited confidence in the stability of the Banking establishments of Messrs. Hall, West, and Berrer, and the London and County Bank, and their de termination to support them at the present crisis. Mr. 'Lisieux said that however confident the townspeople of Brighton, the meeting was highly necessary, as it was ob vious that country people would feel greatly alarmed, and it was only by extensively publishing the meeting that public confidence could be maintained. After a vote of thanks had been passed to the Chairman the meeting separated. The failure has caused a general gloom throughout the town, as great confidence was placed in the bank, although it had been whispered about the town for the last four weeks that a stoppage was likely to take place. Mr. Capps, the great coach proprietor, is said to be a large creditor. MORTALITY in the METROPOLIS.

Many of Mr. Wilson's songs called forth encores, and the entertainment altogether gave great satisfaction. The announcement of the second entertainment for next Wednesday evening was hailed with hearty cheers. THE VACANT OFFICE _OF TOWN-Ckultic.—The Corporation wi, it is said, considerably reduce the salary of the o ffi ce of To w n -Clerk, vacant by the lamented death-of Mr. Woodthorpe. That able officer had an income of 2,0001. per annum, bat many of the members of tits Corporation have always considewd that sum more than an adequate remunera. tien ; and, it is believed, that Mr. Woodthorpe's successor's emoluments will not exceed from 1,2001. to 1,500/. a year. Two or three persons are spoken of as likely to be candidates for the situation, which cannot be properly filled except by a man long experienced in the local duties nd laws of the Cor potation. • LONDON SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH 5, 1842. Sir ROBERT PEEL last night announced, very much, we believe, to the satisfaction of the country, for, as the Right Hon. Gentleman said, he had received a number of letters, urging him to bring the matter speedily for ward, that he would, on Friday next, make his financial statement, and explain his whole plans as to taxes on trade. His announcement wits loudly cheered, as if the information were desired by the,frouse and the country. Lord flowicK suggested, and with some propriety, that the second reading of the Corn-law Bill should be postponed till after the financial statement had been made; but no notice was taken of his suggestion. The second reading of that Bill was definitively fixed for Wednesday next, and the Whigs, as Lord JOHN RUSSELL stated, will take a debate and a division on that stage, because the Bill is not an adequate settlement of the question. Although the Whigs still wrangle for a fixed duty, we are glad to find them protesting against the re-enactment of an unjust law, and their votes against it will honourably shake off from them - the infamy of assenting to a law designed to keep up the price and stint the food of the people. They are not to be taken in by the title cunningly and designedly written, the Corn Importation Bill. It is not a corn bringing-in, but a corn keeping-out Bill, which corn, but for the Bill, would be poured in abundantly, the country gentlemen say; and it ought to be called a Bill annually to starve a certain number of the people, from the unfounded expec tation of thereby keeping up the landlords' rent. But the nature and effects of this Bill no longer need discus sion; it is unworthy of us, and of the public, to discuss the details of an enactment so monstrous in principle; and the only question of public importance concerning it is, how we can get rid of it, either before or after the landlords have given it the form of law. We are not sorry to be supplied with an opportunity of explaining in what sense sundry opprobrious epithets have been publicly applied to the landowners. Lord JOHN RUSSELL deprecated in strong and emphatic terms the abuse which Mr. FERRAND had heaped on the manufac turers, and then, turning round, he equally deprecated the language applied by the League to the landowners, as if they had, for their own selfish purposes, and not from the purest integrity, passed corn, and such similar laws. Now, between the manufacturers and the landowners there is a great distinction. The former are not the Legislative body of the empire, the latter are. By the pos -1 session of the land, they are paid for their services. They exclusively form the House of Peers, and they constitute a large majority of the other House. When the manu facturers are attacked in the Legislature, they are at tacked as individuals ; when the landlords are attacked, it is as legislators. The charge against the manufacturers is, that they are cruel to their workmen, extortioners, knaves, and violators of the law. All these are offences for which the law prescribes, or undertakes to prescribe, punish ment, and they ought to be prosecuted before the tribu nals of the country. It is not said of the landlords that t they are cruel to their tenantry and workmen, though t would do more to put down the repeal cry than five they are obno x i ous to the charge. It is not said that thousand penal statutes enforced by the whole British they a re individually extortioners, knaves, and vio- army. Besides there is not the shadow of a pretence 1 lators of the law, though they are just as open to for supposing that one farthing of the expense would such accusations as other men ; but they are pub- , fall upon England or Scotland.

It is not a little curious to hear Lord ELIOT ob selves, the power with which they are entrusted to pro- jetting to such a rate, on the ground that it would fall vide for the general welfare. exclusively upon the tenants and not upon their land- To that charge no denial has been or can be given. lords. In their debates upon the Corn-laws, the Tory Lord JOHN RUSSELL admitted it, when he admitted that landlords contended that the country rate, or cess, was a they had a bias ; in fact the charge is confirmed by charge paid exclusively by them. It now appears by every page of human nature. Those who are entrusted the admission of a Member of the Government that they with power ever have assumed, and ever will assume do not pay a fraction of this tax. Lord ELIOT said : (they cannot avoid it) that their own interest is coin- The whole of the county cess was defrayed by the occupying cident with that of the public, and with a view to their own tenantry.

We thought Mr. COBDEN put the matter on a right footing last night in the House of Commons, when he objected even to defending himself \ in that House from charges brought against him as a man. The Courts of Law, and not the House of Commons, are the tribu nals to investigate charges of fraud and cruelty against individuals. At the same time Mr. COBDEN in his own behalf, and Mr. VILLIERS in behalf of the League, gave a solemn and direct denial to Mr. FERRAND'S charges. The House was convinced of the justice of the vindica tion, and we'believe the author of the unfounded charge, will in future, notwithstanding the encouragement of the aged counsellors beneath—notwithstanding the appro bation of the Ministers of the Crown, and the represen tative of the Church, be much more sparing of his vituperation. The phrase " bribery at elections " is now respected for its antiquity, and has obtained favour from the Tories, no doubt, from being part and parcel of the wisdom of our ancestors. A contest for a borough where these venerable, though generally poor gentlemen, called " old freemen," have votes, cannot take place without money passing from the pockets of the candi dates into those of the " calumniated " electors, with as much certainty as the electric fluid passes from one body to another by the slightest eontact. In fact, they look upon the change of ownership as a general law of nature, which neither Commons nor Lords have any right to interfere with, and they are not a little comirmed in this belief by the chivalrous defence made for them on the discussion of the Reform Bill; not by Sir RonEnT PEEL or Sir CHARLES WETHERELL only, but by one of the most Radical Members in the House of Commons. When two extremes meet, and agree that the old free men are all honourable men, why should they change a practice which works so well, which only takes a little money from those who have too much, and transfers it but once in three years to hard-working men, with in dustrious wives and large families of starving children. It is really too bad for these niggardly, political-econo mical Whigs to be railing against a custom so beneficial to the poorer classes, and so very convenient also to gen tlemen of independent fortune, to rising Barristers, Peers' sons, place-hunters as well as pension -hunters, and to those Honourable Members of the House who throw self-interest to the wind, and give their votes only for the good of the public. Would it not, therefore, be better to legalise at once this venerable practice ? Endless attempts to put it down have been made, but without effect ; for, according to speeches in the House of Commons, it is extending in every direction. Freemen say, a present at an election is their birth-right ; 101. voters say it is all but granted to them by Parliament, for the majority are the friends of the freemen ; voters worth hundreds a year are subject to the contagion in one shape or another, and many with thousands a year sell their votes, if not for money, for something better. Members on Election Committees are merciful in the extreme to the accused ; jurymen, too, are lenient; and even official dignitaries, such as the Mayor of St. Alban's, look upon bribery, as a matter of course. The feeling in its favour somewhat resembles that which pervaded the minds of humane jurymen when they preferred mercy to law, and by acquitting the accused, though conscious of their guilt, compelled the Legislature to mitigate the criminal cude. We refer the reader for further information on the subject to the trial which took place at Hertford yesterday. It is full of amuse ment, and not destitute of instruction. The verdict of the Jury was perfectly just, whatever might have been the force of evidence against the defendant, and for this good reason—that more than one half of the Members of one House are returned by bribery. The average price of each borough is as well known as the price of any commodity in our markets, and it is therefore absurd to obey laws which the lawgivers them selves treat as old almanacs. Bribery cannot be put down till our legislators, as well as other men in high rank, set the example, and refrain not only from bribing the poor, but from taking bribes themselves from the Government in fifty shapes. We have deemed the discussions in the French Cham ber of Deputies on the Right of Search question, the Spanish question, and the Bank of Rouen, of sufficient English interest to insert them in our columns. It will be seen that M. GUIZOT denies that the English Go vernment has been truly informed respecting the existence of a conspiracy in France to upset the established Government in Spain. This denial is couched in language which we regret to find M GurzoT employing. It is the language of trickery and subterfuge. M. GUIZOT knows well that such a conspiracy does exist, and he has recourse to trickery to avoid saying directly that it does not, while he seeks such an inference to be drawn from his words. He knows, too, that the KING and Madame Musoz arc at the bottom of it. But M. GutzoT has recourse to the lying ecclesiastical distinction between the Minister and the man. As an individual, he knows the whole affair of the treason, but not in his official capacity, and there fore, speaking in the Chamber as a Minister, he affects ignorance. Upon this point it is curious to read the following extract from the Paris correspondence of a con temporary, written on Wednesday, after M. GulzoT de livered himself of his speech in the Chamber of De puties : ' • - " In the mean time, recruiting is going forward in the depots of Spanish refugees in France among the subaltern officers of the Carlist party, a number of wham passed through Lyons on the 25th, coram Israel, proceeding towards the Spanish fron tier. Baron de Meer and General Berton are the prime movers of the attempt, which is to be made on the side of Catalonia. They both remained at Montauban for the purpose until the latter end of January, when, having completed the organization of their forces, they repaired to Toulouse. On the 21st of January they received considerable sums of money from various bankers of that city, and afterwards shifted their quarters to Perpignan, to be at hand to enter that principality on receipt of orders from Paris. M. de Tinan, Aide-de-Camp of Marshal Soult, is still at Bourges. " A report having reached the ears of Queen Christina that the northern Sovereigns intended to stop the supplies which they have of late allowed to Don Carlos, her Majesty exclaimed We have him at last. We will take him by famine.' She mmediately sent for Count Torreno, and it is said that it was agreed between him, King Louis Philippe, and the ex-Regent, to make an offer of succour to the captive Prince. This, it is further said, was the object of M. de Titian's visit to Bourges. Fortunately, however, the report proved to be unfounded, and the mission of that officerproved useless. " The greatest perplexity and confusion seem to prevail in the councils of the conspirators. The Carlists, who have en tered it, propose a marriage between the Prince of the Asturias, and Queen Isabella; some, however, anxious to save the prin ciple of legitimacy, object to her being considered a Queen, and will only recognise her as an Infanta of Spain. Count Torreno, who is an anti-Carlist, will listen to no union between the two branches of the Spanish Royal family, and would pre fer a French or an Austrian prince. King Louis Philippe, on the other hand, is willing to forego his pretensions in favour of the Duke d'Aumale, provided he obtains for him the hand of Isabella's sister. The calculation of the King of French this : • The young Queen is in a delicate state of health, and not expected to live, while the Infanta enjoys robust health, and is likely to survive her sister.' " Impressed with this conviction, Louis Philippe would make a merit to England of accepting the candidate of her choice for the throne of Spain, well know ing that the Queen, once dead, her husband would have no claim in his own name, and that the Duke d'Aumale would, in virtue of the Infanta's birth-right, find himself de facto King of the country.. " The conspirators likewise disagree among themselves re specting the form of the future Government. The Carlists, and what is strange, the Christino Generals, who fought so long for the constitution, recommended the establishment of absolute monarchy. Few advocate the cause of the constitu tion, but the majority seem to incline in favour of the estatu real, which has the advantage of being neither one thing nor the other."

Mr. FRENCH'S motion in the House of Commons on the Irish Railway Question has been productive of one great advantage—the removal of all doubt as to the in tentions of the Government. The Tories adhere to their old policy of doing nothing for Ireland. This is a state ment which we no longer make on the authority of I)ANtEL O'CoNNELL and the Corn Exchange orators. It is a fact deducible from the speeches made by Lord ELIOT and Sir R. PEEL in the House of Com mons:on Thursday night. The greatest boon which the Go vernment could give to Ireland would be lines of railways intersecting that fine country, and that boon the Minis try point blank refuses.

The second, in a political point of view, may appear still more important to the people of this country ; namely, that it is only by intersecting Ireland with rail ways, and facilitating the intercourse between the two countries, that their union as one nation ever can be entirely consolidated.

" Who runs may read." ronExarz. The French Government, by the mouth of M. Guizot, declared in the Chamber of Deputies, on Wednesday, that Sir Robert Peel has been misinformed respecting the existence of a Christino-Carlist conspiracy in France against the Regent of Spain. Permission had been refused Cabrera to visit Paris. It is then true that he sought it ! • The Presse states that Father Casares, a Spanish capuchin monk, who has been the originator of most of the reports recently spread, concerning a meditated attempt of Carlists and Christinos jointly against the present Government of Spain, and who has been disowned by the Carlists, was yesterday arrested at his residence in Paris ; and that papers found in his possession prove him to be a secret agent of Espartero. It has been calculated that, since 1830, the European Governments have expended in the organisation of fleets and armies upwards of twenty-two thousand millions of francs. In France, 14,012,000 men have been called out for military service from 1791 to 1842 inclusive. They are thus divided under the different Governments during that period :—Under the old monarchy, from 1791 to 1792, there were 1,270,000 men. During the Assem blies from Bth March, 1703, to the 22d August in the same year, 5,992,000. Under the Directory, from 1798 to 1799 the number was 860,000. Under the Consulate, from 12th November, 1799, to 24th March, 1804, it was 443,000. Under the Empire of sth August, 1804, till 1814, it was 3,865,000. Under the Restoration, from 1818, to 28th July, 1830, it was 622,000. In fine, under the present Government, from 11th December, 1830, to 1842 inclusive, 960,000 men. It results from this, that the annual average of men called under arms, from 1791 to 1842 inclusive, has been 300,000. At each new election since 1830 the number of De puties re-elected has uniformly increased. In 1831, out of 427 Deputies in the preceding Chamber, 222 were again returned ; in 1834, out of 458, there were 292 ; in 1837, out of 459, there were 310 ; and in 1839, out of 457, there were 381. The official returns of the prices of wheat in the mar kets of France for the last month show the highest to have been 23f. 15c. per hectolitre at Mulhausen and Srasburg ; and the lowest 16f. 87c. at Saumur, Nantes, and MRrans. The price of bread for the first fortnight of the pre sent month is fixed at 34 centimes the kilogramme., During the last month 3 ; 712,503f. were paid into the Paris Savings'Bank by 25,722 depositors, of whom 3,638 were new ; and 2,321,000 f. were drawn out. PARLIAMENTARY. s In both Houses last night the present conspiracy, which i hatchingsin France with the knowledge, if not under the sanc tion of the French Government, was brought under notice by Lord Clarendon in the Upper, and Lord Palmerston in the Lower house; and it was satisfactory to hear the Earl of Aberdeen in the former, and Sir Robert Peel in the latter, em phatically declare that the present Government was the best which Spain had had for many years ; and express a hope that the people would rally round it, when they would be sure to de feat the conspirators. Such language does honour to the Tories. The Ministers, however, declined to say what had been the effects of their remonstrances on the French Govern ment. Lord Monteagle, in the Upper House, moved for a Commit tee to inquire into the Exchequer bill affair, and vindicated his own conduct in the transaction. Lord Brougham defended Sir John Newport from some of the charges which Lord Monteagle had indirectly brought against him. The Noble Lord also approved of the Commis sion which is to be appointed. The Duke of Wellington begged the Noble Lord to with draw the motion, assuring him that no imputation stated on him. The motion was accordingly withdrawn. In the Commons the Corn Importation Bill was read a fi• st time, and on that motion Mr. Cobden and Mr. Goulburn de fended the manufacturers from Mr. Ferrand's imputations. A smart altercation ensued. Mr. Mark Philips extorted from Sir R. Peel a confession that he had heard nothing since his appointment to justify such imputations as those of Mr. Ferrand. The question on the Scotch Church which Sir A. L. Hay was to bring forward, was postponed to make way for voting the Estimates, that Sir R. Peel may be enabled to make his financial statement on Friday next. On the motion for going into a Committee of Supply. Mr. O'Connell moved for any instructions that might have been is. sued relative to the religious instruction of Roman Catholics in the Army and Navy, and called the attention to the fact that a great many Irish lads are embarked in the fleet who receive no instruction in the faith of their fathers. The motion was agreed to. Tho Navy Estimates were voted in Committee of Supply. Sir Charles Napier distinguished himself on the occasion by advocating very effectually the interests of the Navy. The Exchequer Bills Bill was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time on Monday; Lord Eliot brought in a liillrelative to Dublin Gaol, which was read a first time; and the House then adjourned. PUBLIC OPINION. The Morning Advertiser contains an article on the subject of the landed Aristocracy, in the course of which it observes:—" It can be no longer said that the Corn-law discussion is barren of good, for however remote may be the probability of obtaining any im portant concession to the just, demands of the country from the Tory Cabinet of Sir Robert Peel, the matters that escaped from the incautious lips of the Starvealls, during the course of the wordy debate, cannot fail to provoke such thinkings and discussions out of doors, as must, at no distant period, break down not only their infamous and inhuman food.monopoly, but also, and as surely, the aristocratic powers in the Legislature of the country." The Herald has . the following incidental remarks in an article on the West Indian question One alternative is certain; either our sugar colonies must have supplies of labour gradually poured into them, or the people of the United Kingdom must—by being to the consumption of foreign sugar—neutralise all the past efforts and stultify all the future exertions of the British Government to suppress the slave-trade and procure the abolition of African sla very. It is for Lord Stanley to decide which shall be adopted." The Post, discussing the question of the profitable employment of the poor in Ireland, says, " that it is easy to suggest that the Government might purchase bog and waste lands from Irish pro. prietors, in order to employ the poor, but even if Government had the means for such purchase, which it has not, through what scenes of jobbing and extortion would it not have to wade, in or der to obtain this worthless land, for the most benevolent pur. pose ? The mercantile spirit in this country has so knocked down the patriotic spirit, and all classes are so ready to chaffer and to bargain, and to make the mast they can fur themselves, that we are not fit for the freedom which we possess." The Times expresses a hope that the Bill for legalizing marriages which have been solemnized in Ireland by Presbyterian Ministers, between members of the English Church and Presbyterians, will ba proceeded with as rapidly as possible, and adds—" It may be useful to point out exactly what the State, as such, assumes to do on these occasions, which is this, and neither more nor less than this—it affixes the legal consequences of marriage to their union—it vests the property of the wife in the husband—it fixes on the husband the maintenance of the wife—it gives to the children the rights of In heritance--it renders the parties liable to the penalties of bigamy if they assume to marry another. But with the nature of the pre vious union, in faro conseientice it does not and cannot interfere." The Chronicle, referring to some remarks lately made by M• Guizot in the French Chambers, says—" If there be no substan tial difference between the expressions used by Lord Aberdeen, and the expressions attributed to him, then there is not the slightest doubt that he has given his formal sanction to the French conquest of Algiers. We are not now considering whether it was politic, or the reverse, to have nad such a concession ; we merely beg at tention to the fact, that unless Lord Aberdeen has been " substan . tially ' misreported he has made a concession of which it Is of the utmost iruportai.ce that the British Parliament should be officially informed." 11IONEY-TTLATJE-CONIMERCE. At the annual meeting of the Society of Friends of Foreigners in Distress, held on Thursday at the London Tavern, it appeared from the report that during the past year 2,287 persons had received the be nefit of the Society, and since the foundation of the institution 59,214 persons had been relieved. The balance in hand was shown to be 503/. 3s. 9d., and out of the foreigners assisted, 74 were from Africa, 311 from the Netherlands, 201 from Prussia, 100 frum Nor way, and 873 from Germany, Austria, and Bavaria. PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS. Mr. Walker has presented a petition to the House of Commons complaining of the dangerous condition of the burial places of the United Kingdom, and showing that this gives rise to the most fatal malaria. STATISTICS. Mental alienation, according to the best authorities, appears to occur more frequently in Great Britain than in any other country except Norway, the proportion in England being one insane person to every 783 inhabitants, and in Scotland one in 573, whilst in Norway the ratio is one maniac in 551 of the population. Mania seems to increase as man recedes from the wa, m or southern coun tries bordering the Mediterraneun, and approaches the colder regions of the north. In Italy the scale descends so low as to give not more than one insane person to every 3,785 inhabitants. NAVAL AND MILITARY. It is considered matter of surprise that her Majesty, on the occa. sion of her visit to the ships at Portsmouth, should not have visited the renowned flag-ship the Victory, having on its deck the identical spot on which Nelson fell. Dr. Lushington gave judgment, in the case of the vessel Wilhel mine, at the Admiralty Court on Thursday ; the claim of the salvors failed. The collision between the Canadian and the William and Mary, in the river, by which the latter was materially damaged, was de. cided to have been occasioned by the default of the pilot. The owners were therefore dismissed and with costs. 1..A.374T AND POLICE, A meeting was held on Thursday at the Guildhall Coffee.house, by the friends of Mr. Laurie, who is a candidate for the vacant City pleadership. The Lord Mayor was in the Chair, and promised his vote in favour of Mr. Laurie. At the Longford Assizes, Michael Casey, cn Friday, and Michael HattOn, on the day following, were separately arraigned under the statute of the 2d and 3d of Victoria, for having in their possession certain secret passwords connected with the Ribbon Socieiy ; but the case of the informer broke down, and they were acquitted. The case of the collision of the Durham and the Aurora in the Humber, on the 14th of October last, which was alleged by the latter to have been caused by the two precipitate dropping of the Durham's anchor, was decided on Thursday. The Durham was pre. nounced free from blame, and the amount for damage incurred by them awarded, by the Court. The salvage case of the Pilot, an East Indiaman, which got on the mud off the coast of Sumatra, in May last, and assisted by another East Indiaman, who saw flags of distress flying, and the danger of her crew exposed to the Malay pirates, was also adjudged. The action was only for salvage for part of the property, 3951. having already been raid in compensation. A tender of 100/. had been made for this, which the Court finally considered enough, and for which it pronounctd, condemning the salvors in costs. The Orange murder at Ballyroney, by which William Matthews as principal, and three others as abettors, were charged with the murder of Hugh 11PArdle, by shooting him, came on for trial at the Down Assizes on Monday, and ended in The acquittal of all four. PINE ARTS. The sale of the tine specTrnei; of works in Nielli, a kind of en graving on silver plates brought to perfection by the Florentine artists of the 15th and 16th centuries, takes place at Messrs. Fos ter's, in Pall.mall, on Monday. They form part of the collection of the late Count Cicognara, Director of the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice. SPORTING, On Wednesday, the Queen's staghounds had a fine day's sport, with tne Earl of Rosslynn and Prince George of Cambridge. From Staines, they t truck across Harrow, and four or five crossed the formidable barrier of the Birmingham Railway. The heavy state of the grass lands rendered this one of the most trying runs of the season. THEATRZCA.Z. Miss Adelaide Kemble is studying the part of Susannah, in the Opera of the Marriage of Figaro. The German Opera cannot commence until the third week in May, at which period Madame Vestris will have completed her season.

The Duchess of Kent, accompanied by Lady Fanny Howard, took a carriage airing, and afterwards walked for some time on the Chain Pier. It is fully expected that the Court will take their departure from Brighton on Tuesday week, but the health of her Ma jesty and the Royal Infants has so much improved that her Majesty, it is said, will return in the course of the summer.

The Overland letters, via Marseilles, will be dispatched this day, and we regret that better accounts cannot be forwarded to our Indian friends respecting the state of trade here. Silks are improving, and perhaps this may be some little satisfaction to them, while teas bear a higher value. For the more important East Indian staples, however, we cannot say as much, whether as regards sugars, indigo, or cotton, which are chiefly affected by the prevalent uncertainty in the alterations to be proposed in the import duties. A statement just completed, of the `stock of Tea in London on the Ist inst., makes it 30,164,0201b5., while at this same date last year, we had 36,301,5391b5. at our disposal. The imports haverather increased, but we must remember that last year they were limited. The home consumption in London alone, since the commencement of the present year, has been 4,252,176 lbs.

Give us something to eat ; we are clamming, we are clamming (starving).'" Ihe sympa thizing tear, h e re l ated, rolled down the soldier ' s c h ee k whilst he related the fact.
