Here comes he who was first in the field, as the true de picter of the fighting , rioting Irishman, in peace an d war ; and we trust that Hector O'Halloran will not disgrace the parentage of which he is born. He is what he calls himself, a soldier of fortune, which in general signifies, in the Hibernian fashion, a soldier of no for tune, and he wanders every where all over the world, that is to say, in all parts of Ireland, Ulster, Leinster, Connaught, and Munster, and the kingdom of Kerry; in Scotland, from John O'Groat's to Gretna Green, where he travelled on business; in England, from the tip of her tail at the Lizard to her snout at Flamborough Head, from her well-washed foot at the Lie of Wight to her most episcopal head in the palatinate of Durham; in Spain, from San Sebastian to Cadiz ;—in short, in all the lands where fame has flourished, or fun is flourishing, —where jollity predominates, or vice decays,—where merriment draws open the jaws with a laugh, or pathos draws down the eyelids with a tear,—there shall you, gay reader or grave reader, gentle reader or ungentle reader, find Hector O'Halloran, shining forth, as large as lik, in what his oratorical country men would call all the magnificent resplendency of the meri dian luminary, gilding with its golden lustre the concave arch of the celestial heavens.

The visit of her MAJESTY to the largest and most celebrated Royal Harbour in - the United Kingdom has been justly hailed by the inhabitants with every demon- ' "stration of joy and gratitude. The gratification caused by such an event, however, is not confined to Portsmouth. Th'e public at large delight to see our beloved QUEEN taking aninterest in our means of defence, mixing gra ciously with her people, and encouraging by her presence the loyalty and bravery of our soldiers and sailors. Since the days of Queen ELIRABETH, perhaps no Sovereign has exhibited such a cordial sympathy with the tastes, habits, and amusements, of the British nation. Unlike GEORGE the Fourth, who,. with . all his noble manners, and kingly dignity, was neither loved nor respected—who, in manhood, was known only for his ex travagance—in his latter days, for his cruel treatment of a persecuted woman—and in his old age, for a love of seclusion and hatred of society, not surpassed even in the person of the deceitful and cruel TIBERIUS, Queen VICTORIA rejoices with her people, despises the vain eti quette which so often deprives sovereigns of useful know ledge and rational amusement, and seems never more happy than when she sees thou Sands of men, women, and chil dren, happy around her. This is the way not only •to gain the affections of the people, but to add courage even to the brave defenders of our country. Her ex ample yesterday, the firmness she displayed in a stormy sea, Old her determination to go through the duties of the day independent of obstructions which, would have deterred Sovereigns of the other sex, are all worthy of praise, and cannot fail to be productive of good. The soldiers and sailors who witnessed her de-' meanour will not forget it in the day of battle. We advert to such circumstances with great satisfaction, and always regret when a sense of duty compels us to make remarks on such acts of extravagance as expend ing 70,00(1. on - Royal stables, or granting annuities out of the Civil List to persons who properly had no claim on it, because they had already Veen well paid for their services. Jobs of that kind, though they may be the acts of the Minister, are anything but favourable to that lore and respect so justly due to our gracious QUEE:N. The Plymout Herald of Sawalay - assures us that all classes in that town and neighbourhood are quite dis satisfied with the Ministerial Corn-law project. On Friday a meeting -of the Chamber of Commerce of the port of Plymouth was held, at which. the fidlowing peti tion to the House of Commons was adopted, which was only- obje , :ted to by the bulk of the inhabitants of Ply mouth as being too moderate : That your Petitioners, in common with the bulk of the com munity, cons'der the present Corn laws injurious to the wel fare, of the nation, and regard with considerable dissatisfation the measures proposed by the Government for their alteration. Your Petitioners admit that the proposed Scale of Duties are an improvemeut on the existing impost, yet the great ranee of the scale now submitted will be productive, not only of a continuance of hazardous speculation, but will much disappoint the expectations of the consuming and mercantile classes. Your petitioners, sympathising in the existing distress of the tnanufacturing and commercial interests of this country, are ° desirous of seeing the laws affecting the importation of corn placed on a basis that will promote an extension of our commerce, and alleviate the depression so loudly and justly complained of. Tour petitioners therefore humbly, but earnestly, implore your. Honourable House will make such modifications and amendments in the proposed measures relating to the foreign corn-trade as will be consistent with justice and sound policy, and will not give undue protection to eny interest at the ex pense of the empire at large. If anything which the Tories do could surprise us, it would be the pertinacity with which Sir ROBERT PEE!. and:his colleagues stick to a measure so universally un popular as the proposed scale of Corn law duties. Not only. is the Ministerial sliding scale denounced by the total Corn-law repealers, b u t b y all that class o f mid way politicians who form the only connecting link bet‘Tcvn the landed aristocracy and the manufacturing operatives. Sir RonEwr PEEL'S plan pleases nobody. The followers of the Duke of Bucicucctia.m, and all the Ultra-Tory aristocracy, see in it only a measure of spoliation ; the Whigs, who have as much interest in land'as the Tories, but who supported the measures of the late Government, are convinced that a sliding scale can only benefit the gamblers in averages ; while such of the commercialists as are not opposed to some tax . en corn, condemn Sir ROBERT PEEL'S sc a l e as exorbitantly high. Thus all parties are opposed to it. Our Plymouth friends regard the proposed law as an improvement upon the old one. Weyannot agree with them. It is an insult to a starv ing,.long-suffering people, nothing else. But sup posing it an improvement, it is the removal, not the mitigation of the evil that we now want. . We seek jus tice, and we shall be content with nothing less. Too much praise cannot be accorded to:Lord BROUG HAM for the indefatigable energy which he displays, ses sion,after session, in endeavouring.to improve the ad ministration of justice in this country. The more we attend to the peceliar labours -of the Noble and Learned Icorir in the extensive and brambly field of Law Reform, the less do we feel inclined to regret his standing so far aloof from the political agitation to which he was once as much the moving power as the wind is to the wave. Those very efforts of his, which have hitherto failed, have been attended with the signal advantage of compelling, as it were, less potent intellects to acknowledge the existence or the necessity of amending evils not previously perceived by them. Nearly ten years have elapsed since his Lordship submitted to the Peers his County Courts' Bill. This Bill provided for the esta blishment. of Courts in the principal towns in every County in England and Wales, for the trial and fired adjustment of all actions within each county, civil and cr i m i nal, in whiCh the arn-iint of daraag'2B claimed not exceed 501: Thi s was to . ; t a,s the har.ing and expensive removal of actio ,-- Is re f % r: court to court, by which in many cases the ends ef justice w ere, and are clearly defeated, as for example in tho trial Provincial Journalists for libels in Ltnden. The Bill further provided for the citablishment of Courts of Reconcilement, for the amicable settlement o"' local dispute s without the expense, annoyance, and de lay inseparable from the employing. of attorneys and lawyers, and the exposure of family affairs in ordinary courts of law. As might be expt-cted, th e T ory Law Lords and the Tory party generally opposed the Bill, and it was lost, after considerable progress had been made in it. The late Lord Chancellor COTTENHAM prepared another Bill less compiehensire than that of his Noble and Learned predecessor, which is now before Parliament; but as it proposes to l'emedy only the lesser evils which Lord BROUGHAM'S Bill was calcu lated to remove, it is with great satisfaction we announce that Lord BROUGHAM, last night replaced his own Bill upon. their 14,ordShips'. table.

With much naivete his Lordship added that it would be for the House to take its choice of the three Bills, or to see whether they might not amalgamate them. Lord LYNDHURST, how that he is in office, wants to share the credit of this great and importmt measure with Lord BROUGHAM. He will go, halves with BROUGHAM, or thirds with BROUGHAM and COTTENEAM, rather than run the chance of never being named in conjunction with a Bill which is des tined to reflect such immortal honour upon the great Law Reformer to whom the whole concepti6n of it is due, and who nearly ten years ago sub mitted it for immediate adoption to the House of Lords. Which ever County Courts' Bill pass, the real merit of any good which it may confer upon the country is really attributable to the law reforming labours of Lord BROUGHAM, and to none other. !SUMMARY OF NEWS; AND iiublic eptnton. " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. The Moniteur Parisien publishes the following curious notice : "It had been announced that the French Associa tion for the Abolition of Slavery would hold, on the 7th instant, a meeting at the Hotel de Ville,' and that the English abolitionists would be invited to attend at the meeting.' The planters of the French West India Islands, alarmed for their interests, assembled to-day (Saturday last) at the house of M. Jollivet, the delegate for Mar tinique, who announced to them that ' the Government had taken measures to prevent the projected meeting at the Hotel de Ville !' " The Courrier Francais of Sunday, signalizes the pre sence of an unusual number of Carlist and Christino re fugees on the French frontier. Both receive assistance from the French Government, but this aid was so small that it was quite evident, from their expenditure, that more considerable sums were secretly distributed amongst them. The Courrier asks how it is that these refugees, who resided formerly in the interior, have obtained passports to approach the frontiers. And if they travel without passports, what is the police about ? The Spanish Government has sent General Goni to make a tour of inspection in the Basque provinces, and the partisan Mochaelo is ordered to raise a free corps for the purpose of guarding against the introduction of Carlist and Christino agents. A good deal of excite ment prevails in Catalonia, and already some troubles have taken place at Olot. The Regent had, by a recent decree, abolished the extraordinary duty laid on various articles of home con sumption on their importation into Spain, under the name of temporary duty, by a Royal order of the 30th of May, 1800. The Madrid Gazette contains a project of law, to be presented to the Cortes, demanding that the Minister of Finance may be authorised to issue Treasury bills to the amount of 160 millions of reels, but as the Committee charged with the examination of this scheme is composed of the Opposition, it is doubted whether it will pass into a law. Those 160,000,000 are to be divided into 32 series of 5,000,000 each. The bonds are to bear an in terest of 6 per cent., and the proceeds of the customs of the kingdom are to be allocated for their redemption. They are to be rewired as cash in all the custom houses ; but those who might not wish to apply them in that manner, may require the payment of the capital and interest from the general direction of the Treasury in Madrid. One series is to be redeemed monthly. . The Francfort Journal of the 25th ult., announces that M. Eichthorn was to succeed Count Maltzahn as Prussian Minister for Foreign Affairs. It is added that a report prevailed at Berlin of a considerable reduction being about to be made in the Prussian army. The debate on the Address is not yet over in the Spanish Cortes. .The young QUEEN was nearly hit on the 19th, by the accidental firing of a gun belonging to a water-carrier, the muzzle of which was pointed in the direction of the Royal gardens where the QUEEN was walking. The following appears in the Madrid Gazette of the 20th : " Art. I. The Government is authorised to make an issue of treasury bonds to the amount of 160,000,000 of reals, which shall be divided into 32 series of 5,000,000 each. " Art. 2. These bonds shall pay an interest of six per cent. per annum. " Art. 3. The negotiations of these bonds shall be made with the publicity called for by the circumstances and the objects to which these bonds are devoted. The preliminary notice shall be published in the Garette. " Art. 4. For the sinking of the bonds and interest due shall be appropriated all the duties received in the Custom houses in the kingdom, where these bonds shall be received as cash in the form which shall be determined on. " Art. 5. The series of these bonds shall be numbered from Ito 32. Each month one of these series shall be paid off (amortie) in succes,ive numerical order, so that the bonds of the first series shall be received by the customs of the kingdom from the first day of the month, which shall immediately follow that of the first emission made by the Government. The 31 other series will have the right to be cancelled, and they wilt be equally received at the custom-houses of the kingdom in the 31 following months. No mote will be received in each month than those of the series whose turn for cancelling shall have arrived. " Art. 6. The Government will announce in the Gazette, on the first day of each month, the number of the series to be cancelled. " Art. 6. The holders of bonds will have the option of either paying those bonds into the Customs by way of duty, or to de mand the payment of the principal and interest at the public Treasury of Madrid. Those who may prefer this latter course, cannot present themselves before the 15th of the month which shall follow that in which the cancelling of their respective se ries may take place. (Signed) " Madrid, Feb. 18." The Earl of Ripon gave notice that he will bring in a Bill to regulate the relations of merchant and factor. Amongst the petitions presented was one signed ex clusively by farmers of Roxburghshire, for a total re peal of the Corn-laws ; and one from Limerick to in crease the duty on oats. Lord Brougham, after adverting to his own continued efforts to procure the passing of a Local Courts' Bill, laid one on the table of the House. Lord Cottenham has a Bill of this kind already on the table ; and the Lord Chancellor announced his intention of introducing a third, so that the Peers will have three Bills on the same subject before them to discuss at once. In the Commons,- Mr. E. Tennent postponed the second reading of the Copyright • of Designs' Bill till March 14th. Lord Ellenborough, it is well known, receives a large yearly sum from the country as a compensation for an office which he held for life in the Court of Queen's Bench. At present the Noble Lord is gone to India as Governor-General, and will have a large salary for that office. It is natural, therefore, that Mr. Hutt should inquire, as he did, whether the Noble Lord was to receive both. Sir R. Peel replied, that he had looked into the Act, and the Treasury had no power to touch the compensation. The East India Company might make a reduction in the salary, which is under their consideration, but which they will hardly do. The Noble Lord will enjoy both. The length of time in which corn can be brought fi orn the United States to Liverpool was the subject of discussion, and Mr. Thornely referred to a case, sup posed to be the one already quoted by Sir Robert Peel, of corn brought from America in fifty-one days, and not, as Sir Robert Peel had stated, forty-four. Sir R. Peel insisted on his accuracy. Lord Stanley postponed, till "Wednesday, the second readinc , of the Colonial Passengers' Bill. The Railway and Van Diemen's Land Bills were read a second time. The Dissenting Marriages (Ireland) Bill, was committed after some. opposition to the second clause, and after a division called for by Mr. W. O'Brien, which was decidedin favour of retaining the clause, by 156 to 63. In Committee on Sir Robert Peel's corn resolutions the scale as to barley was proposed. Mr. Wodehouse, as the representative of the barley-growers, objected at some length that the protection given to the article was not sufficient ; but he declined pressing his 'views to a division, and the scale was adopted. The discussion sur ficed, however, to show that the growers of barley are little pleased with the favour shown to the growers of wheat. The growers of oats, less modest than the growers of barley, loudly demanded more protection, and divided on the question of substituting Bs. for 7s. The landed gentlemen haggle for a penny. Sir Robert Peel defeated his own friends by a larger force than he defeated the total repeaters, for only 53 supported the greater protection for oats, and 256 voted for Sir Robert's scale. " PEDRO SURRA Y RULL. There is no political news of interest in the French Journals ; for the right of search question has- no longer interest for English readers. We subjoin the most stirring extracts from them : Private Correspondence of the Constitutionnel:— CONSTANTINOPLE, FEB. 2.—M. de Bourqueney is ex tremely dissatisfied with all that is passing in Syria. Every day he makes fresh applications to the Porte, in favour of the Christians, for whom he demands the privilege granted them many years ago, and which are now disregarded. He meets with great difficulties on the part of the Porte. In a word, the demands of France on the one hand, those of England, which will inert asO now that the Protestant Bishop has arrived, the opposition which the Turkish authorities meet with from the inhabitants, all these things much embarrass the Porte. Such is the present that the treaty of the 15th of July has made to the Sultan—great expense, much cry, and little work— since nothing is organised. Sir Stratford Canning and M. de Bourqueney appears to be on the most friendly terms. They see each other fre quently, and the day before yesterday the British Ambassador dined with the Minister of France, a circumstance which did not once happen between Lard Ponsonby and Count de Pontois Their instructions are said to be identical.— Constitutionnel. tsELOIAN UNDS—Bitusesua, FEB. 26.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Some objections were also made to the protection given to flour, which the millers think too little, and put • up Lord Sandon as their spokesman ; but Sir Robert Peel satisfied the corn millers that his proposition was cor rect. He spoke slightingly of the millers, and attribute) much of the dearness of bread to them. The Right Hon, Baronet had the great satisfaction, which he very seldom has, of quoting a speech-of his own, delivered in 1827, and showing that on flour he still retains the opinion he held in 1827. Subsequently a brief discussion took place on Mr. O'Brien's proposition to admit Colonial wheat and flour at all times at a nominal duty, which was negatived by 135 tb 38, and finally Colonel Sibthorp's and Sir Valentine Blake's 'amendments having been with drawn, and Mr. Barclay's postponed, the resolu tions were agreed to, the House resumed, the Report was brought up, and ordered to be received to-day. Ad journed at Half-past One. Mr. Hastie, this evening, is to bring on a motion to which even the Tories cannot make any rational objec tion. It appears from returns laid before the House by Sir Robert I'ecl, that at an average of years with average crops, a sufficient quantity of food for the inhabitants is not produced ; the deficiency amounting to about one million quarters of wheat, and half a million quarters of barley and oats. He therefore proposes • that before the c de of duties comes into operation, the quantity of grain deficient shall be admitted at ls. the quarter. PUBLIC OPINION. LIVERPOOL.

The Morning Herald observes that in the support which the county members give to the Ministerial Corn.law, there is no in. 'consistency, "there is no breaking of pledges, no belying of re cent professions. The county Members were returned to eject from office the Whigs, to keep them out when they had ousted them, to protect domestic agriculture, and to aid in the supremacy of Con servative opinion. They have ejected the Whigs f rom place, they are now keeping them out, and they are now refusing to deprive agriculture of protection. They have placed Sir Robert Peel in power, and they will preserve him in it." The Post justifies Mr. Ferrand's late attack on the manufac turers, and says :—" If Mr. Ferrand deems the manufacturing system established in this country an unsound system, he has an undoubted right to denounce it. If Mr. Ferrand believes, that in proportion to the extension of our manufacturing system, and in consequence of the extension of that system, has been the extension of misery among the labouring classes, Mr. Ferrand, as an honest man, is bound to ' make war ' on our manufacturing policy. Who shall deny to Mr. Ferrand such a right ? What I Has not the agricultural policy of Great Britain been, more especially during the last three years, denounced with unceasing bitterness by free trade writers, by free-trade lecturers, and by free-trade speakers of all kinds, throughout the the length and breadth of 1 Great Britain ?" 1 The Chronicle expresses its belief th a t a sp ec i a l comm i ss i on or I I board of survey is in contemplation, to consist of some of the first engineers or architects of the day, for the purpose of preparing be fore the next Session of Parliament, a general plan of all such im provements, within and around the metropolis, as are most impera tively required. " The result," adds the Chronicle," of the la bours of such a board, when submitted to and approved by Parlia. ment, could, in all probability, be gradually realized by no very large outlay. Indeed, any outlay in conformity with it would be sure to prove economical as compared with the present expenditure; and merely as a directory to the best mode of proceedure it would be of great value." The Advertiser, speaking of the great national party of Re. formers, says :—" Henceforward, and this party assumes a front not to be mistaken. Its name is the issnots ; its principles, in contradistinction to all the various ramifications of opinion, ranged under leaders whose actions are the demonstration that their pa triotism is the art of rising to office—are national principles; while e m u a n n r its supporters i n religion, the Dissenters, and in politics, the trading cies These form at heereafattnner are rs— to e be r farmers—merchants, understood trading as the italist Noperatives. From anything which under the name of party exists at the present day, they are widely separated. They are not Tories, nor Whigs, nor Whig. Radicals, nor Chartists." The Times remarks :—" The interminable debate on the Corn. laws goes on as usual, Another Gentleman and another Noble Lord have risen to propose a pair of those amendments which they knew would be negatived, and which, accordii.gly, serve no pos. sible purpose but delaying the business of the House. If a Whig or Radical had done this, we should have said they were but fish filling the natural law of their existence. It is their way to talk talk they must, if the country die for it —and if they impede the progress of Conservative Government, so much the better. But, we confess, we are sorry to see supporters of the present Ministry following their example on matters which, after all, are but atTairs of detail." a. ILWAYS. Paid. Per Share.

The drug sold well, and the profit to Government must have been considerable in this aid, together with the continued direction of capital to the Five per- Cent. Loan (we hear the King of Oude has made another subscription of twelve or fifteen lakh), puts an end to all expectation of any better investment. Government Securities are without alteration. The; Bank of Bengal had ch dared a dividend of 10 per cent. per and , an num • the Union Bank is expected to be about the sam e . ...._ Indigo—The transactions have been, during the week, principally on French account, at prices exhibiting a de cline of 35 to 40 rupees per Bazar Alaurd, from those realised last year for the same marks. Three pub lic sales have been held since the last issue of our Number. The quantity put up consisted of 1,526 chests, ordinary to fine consuming qualities, of which 740 chests only found buyers.

After a twelvemonth he had re turned to this country, having spent all his money in dissipation, and finally threatened his benefactor's life. This case of base ingra titude was severely censured by the Magistrate; he was ordered to find sureties, but being unable to do so, was removed in custody. PXN ARTS.

Sir John Cope's foxhounds met on Saturday to hunt in the Wind. sor Great Park. The field was atended by between 200 and 300, but to the great disappointment of this numerous party, the whole of the covers were drawn blank. The fox-hounds of the Duke of Beaufort meet on Ttursday at Badminton, Gloucestershire, and a sumptuous breakfast will take place before the run. OURT - P.A.SnioNgnx,E. The Duke of Grafton has rallied considerably during the last three months, and intends shortly to return to town. The Duke of Rutland and a distinguished party have been staying at Burleigh House during the put week. The Marquis of Hertford has had a relapse, and now lies in a dangerous state in Park-lane.

Mr. Edward Ellice, jun., whose pair with Lord Eastnor expires this evening, is also on his road home, and will probably record his vote on the first division after the expiration of his "pair." Most of the absentees of the House of Commons abroad are on their way home. To-day being the first of the month, Is dedicated to St. David, who was descended from the royal family of the Britons, and was uncle to our King Arthur. St. David died r.t the advanced age of 146 years, and was canonized by Pope Calixtus 11., about 500 years afterwards. RUMOURS OF TUE DAY. Sir Thomas Cochrane, it is said, is not to start for China so soon as was expected. He can make some important disclosures re specting the Ipswich electors, who fleeced him of his money. It is said that the Romish religion is nowhere less respected than at Rome; that the women are still under its dominion; but that among the men there is a pervading infidelity. This is too bad, just under the Pope's nose. UNION -HALL—(T - Ills DAY.) Mary Nicholls w as charged with stealing a gold watch, chain, and seals, vahre 20 guineas, the property of Air. Thomas Shepherd, landlord of the King and Queen, Kennington-road. The complainant stated that theprisoner was a nurse, and in the habit of attending on his wife during her confinement. On Friday last she was at his house, and some time after her de parture, a gold watch, chain, andseals, were missing from his bed-room. Such confidence, however, was reposed in the pri soner that she was the last person suspected, but information having been given at the station, the prisoner was subsequently taken into custody. The complainant identified the gold watch produced as his property. A policeman said that since the discovery of the robbery he had ascertained that several families with whom the prisoner had been engaged as nurse had been robbed of various articles of plate, and that as the was strongly suspected now of being the thief, if she was remanded the parties would attend. Remanded accordingly. WORSHIP-ST/MET-(THIS DAY•) A RUNAWAY OUSBA ND. —Janzes Massey, a journeyman tailor of dissipated appearance, was charged with having de serted his wife and two children, leaving them chargeable to the parish of St. Leonard's, Shoreditch. Caste, the relieving officer, stated that the prisoner's wife applied to him for relief about two months ago, stating that her husband had absconded leaving her entirely without the means of subsistence. She was taken at once into the house with her two children, and every exer tion was made to discnee the retreat of the prisoner without success until the preceding day, when he was accidentally met with, and taken into custody. This was the second time that the prisoner had deserted his family, and the parish authorities considered it their duty to press for his con viction and punishment, as a warning to others. 'i he prisoner begged had to be indulged with one more trial, and promised that he would never a,ain offend, but the parish officer was inexerable, and the 31agistrate committed the prisoner for one mouth to the House of Correction. A W IN TELLIGENC E. HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.) The Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, Lord Cottenham, and Lord Campbell sat in the House of Lords to-day, to hear Scotch appeals. RENTON V. ANSTROTRER.

The further arguments on the part-heard case occupied his Horroux, the Vice-Chancellor of England, the whole day. INSOLVENT COURT-(THIS DAY) RE HENRY W. YOUNG. The insolvent was a broker residing at Maidstone, and the debts appearing in his schedule amounted to upwards of 1,6111. of which the greater portion was alleged to be without con sideration. Mr. Cooke appeared in support of his petition to be discharged. He was opposed on behalf of Messrs. Wood and Bishop, upholders and cabinet-makers, carrying on business in the Mitsories, on the grounds of having executed a warrant of at torney in favour of his brother for a sum of 80U/., by which he hidgained an undue 'preference over the other creditors, and 'also that the alleged debt, on account of which the instrument was executed, was not bona fide, or for consideration, as the money was stated in the schedule to have been advanced so far back as the years 1835 and 1836, and there were do distinct entries of debit in his cash-book on that account. It was also stated, in opposition, that the circumstances of both the insolvent and his brother, at the time the alleged loan passed between them, were such as to render it not only im probable, but impossible, that either could have command over the sum of 8001. Mr. CooKE addressed the Court for the insolvent, and read a letter from Messrs. Millat and Co., Monument-yard, City, bearing date at the time when the money was lent in which they sought his custom, for the purpose of showing that he must have been in independent circumstances at the time, or such respectable merchants would not be anxious to deal with him. In reply to the Learned Chief Commissioner the insolvent said he hoped to have been able to repay his brother from a legacy he expected from his father-in-law, who died about two years ago, but was di-appointed. Mr. Comm ssioner REYNOLDS said he should a•?journ the case for a short time, as there were certain points in the insol yen 's balance sheet upon which he desired further information. CRIMINAL COURT. -(THIS DAY.) OLD COUR7'. George Clark, 25, labourer, and James Bryant, 38, a cabman, were indicted for breaking into the dwelling-house of Henry Sheedy, and stealing one cask and twenty-five quarts of rum, value 31. 55., his property. It appeared that the prisoners went in company with loch other to the house •of the prosecutor, who is a publican, and resides in the borough of Southwark. The pri soner, Bryant, came with his cab, and waited in the street, for the other prisoner. This was about one o'clock in the morn int:. The prisoner, Clark, brought out a small cask of rum, and it was placed in the cab. Bryant then drove off to awi 11- known house which is kept for the reception of stolen goods in King-street, Borough. The jury did not think that the prisoner Clark was sufficiently identified, and consequently acquitted him, but found the other prisoner guilty of receiving goods knowing . them to have been stolen, and he w as sentenced to n i ne months ' imprisonment and hard labour. NEW COURT. Ann Wilson, aged 24, was indicted for stealing a watch and a sum of money to the amount of 305., the proper ty of William Cluff, from his person. The prosecutor stated that at about half-past twelve in the morning of the Ist February, he was accosted on London-bridge by the prisoner who importuned him for something to drink. Witness, who acknowledged that he was in liquor at the time, but not drunk, replied that he had no money about him. The prisoner then put her hand into his waistcoat-pocket, and felt some silver there. She imme diately took him by the arm and led him into Loadenhall Market, where witness soon found that both his watch and money were gone. He then accused the pri soner of robbing him ; and, in the meantime, a strange man came up and said he knew the young woman well, and that she was ineara le of robbing any one. A policeman came and took the woman into custody, but the man had previously absconded. Witness further stated that a ribbon round his neck, attached to his watch, had been cut ; and a penknife was found in the hand of the prisoner, when she had been arrested by the policeman. She had also a sum of money amounting Us that lost by the prosecutor. The watch, however, had not been found; and witness supposed it hrd been taken away by the man who had come up to the par ties (luring their altercation. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and she was then sen tenced to four months' imprisonment, with hard labour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET.-(TH AS DAY.) SINGULAR CASE.—A young man, of rather genteel ap pearance, apparently not more than twenty years of age, whose whole deportment indicated that he was labouring under some mental anxiety, and whose meagre and attenuated person plainly bespoke an acquaintance with grief, was charged under the following painful circumstances :—The police•constable stated, that about twenty minutes past two o'clock this morn ing he heard a crash as if of the breaking of glass, which ap peared to proceed from Bow-street, where, on arriving, he found the prisoner, who advanced towards him, and told him that he had broken a lamp. His friends, he said, had turned him out of doors, and as he had no place to go to, he wished to be locked up. The prisoner refused to give his name. The Inspector ;of the F division said that the prisoner had been brought to the station-house not many days ago for taking poison. The MAGisTarrv—What account have you to give of this? Prisoner (in an under tone) said that he had broken the lamp because he had been walking about for the last two nights, and he did not know where to go. The MAGISTRATE-But you had no occasion to break the lamp. Why did you not speak to the policeman, and tell him your condition, without breaking the lamp? Prisoner-4 did speak to two policemen, Sir, and said I was destitute: but they said they Could not help me. In answer to ether questions from the worthy ➢lagistrate, the prisoner said that he had never been brought up to any business at all. He met his brother on Sunday last, who told him that his family had all, gone to Yorkshire, and that h e (his brother) was going there on Wednesday. He could not tell where his brother lived; he could give the names of some respectable persons who knew him, but he would rather riot. The worthy MAGISTRATE told the prisoner that be could send him to jail; but if his story were tine, he should certainly n o t do so ; in the meantime he ordered him to be remanded till he should see if he could get the name of some person who knew him. MA R oltb GH-STREET. DAY.) Francisco Sanquelletti, an intelligent boy, about ten years of age, a native of Italy, with a box containing a hedge-hog slung at his back, was placed at the bar, charged with begging, Police constable No. 17, of the C division, stated that between ten and eleven o'clock last night, he saw the prisoner standing on the steps of the portico entrance of the Senior United Ser vice Clubhouse in Pall Mall. Ile was crying; and as the members of the Club came out, he begged of them, but nothing was given to him. Witness, therefore, in conformity with the orders the force had received, to apprehend every person found begging, to o k hi m i n t o cus t o dy, and conveyed him to the station • h owe. Mr. MALTBY asked the boy why he begged? Boy (in broken English) —I was ver y hungry, and had get n o money all day, anti my belly made me cry, and I could not go to sleep Mr. MALTBY—Who sends you out to beg ? Boy—Ai y . cousin. I live With him in Leather-lane. lam too little to carry an organ, and so he tells me to go out and beg with my pig, and to bring what I get home. Mr. Ma Lrar —Does your cousin give you nothing to eat ? The boy shook his head. Mr. Mavrzy then inquired if his cousin beat or ill-used him, but the boy seemed afraid to return an answer to the ques tion and remained silent, although it was repeated to him two or three times.

The news received on Saturday came by the India steamer from Calcutta to Suez. We congratulate the public on the long wished-for s t eam commun i cat i on w i t h al l the Presidencies of India being thus established. The India was to leave Suez for Culeutta, on her return voyage, on the 22d ultimo, and we understand would leave Calcutta on her second voyage in the firct week in April. We have been favoured with the following extract of a letter from one of her passengers : " India steamer, entering Suez Roads, 7th and llth Feb., 1842. " I have much pleasure in informing you of the safe arrival of the India, after a most prosperous and pleasant voyage of one month from Bengal, including all stoppages. R e wero three days twenty hours from Bengal to Madras, 715 miles; two days nineteen hours from Madras to Ceylon, 519 miles; eleven days seven hours from Ceylon to Aden, 2,`,'33 miles; and seven days sixteen hours from Aden to Suez, 1,427 miles: making 4,694 miles steamed in 615 hours, averaging 190 miles a day; which, considering it is the longeq voyage yet per formed by one vessel, and that she was obliged to load very deep, I consider highly satisfactory." DISTRESS IN THE COUNTRY. TO .THE EDITOR OP THE SUN. SIR,—If you will give room fur a few lines from a suffer ing mechanic, I wish to say one word which has not yet been said in answer to the oppressor's argument, when he tells us that, by making corn cheaper, the farmers' men will be thrown into the towns,•and thus lower our wages. I wish to say, that we are not afraid of that. Starving as we are, they cann t make it worse, and the sooner they come and join us in resist ance the better. But we know it is all humbug. Cheap food would make it better for all partie s , an d f oo d we must and will have. Again, whit pretty cant and hypocrisy is it for landlords to complain' of some of our masters working their mills by night, -when their nialtsters, aid brewers, and brick makers work not only night and day, but SUtsnAY into the bargain. Such nonsense and cold calcu talons oftentimes rouses me to thoughts and intentions that almos frighten myself. But God will judge us by the strength of our temp tations, and by the wrongs of our oppressors.—l am, yours, Gloucester, Feb. 26,1842. Q. E. THE FIREWORK EXPLOSION IN LAMBETH.—(This Morning )—The clearing of the ruins still continues, but with imminent danger to the workmen, as a vast number of unex ploded maroons are still in d iferent parts of the pt emises, which a slight blow or pressure would ignite. The nose of the ex plosion, which was heard as far as Greenwich, was cawed by the simultaneous bursting of various tire-work packages, which in the course of another hour were to have been started by the Southampton Railway to Portsmouth, to have been fired in honour of her Alajesty s visit to that port yesterday. The lion. Charles btuart Savile has just published a new Romance of Persia and Koordistan, called " Karah Kap lan." This is the name of the most prominent character of the tale, signifying "The Black Tiger." Oriental stories are cele brated for the interesting complication of their plots, for the pic turesque grandeur of their scenery, for the hurry and' variety of their action, which keeps the reader in a perpetual state of excite. meet, and for the unwontel aspect which human beings in the East and Eastern institutions present to European eyes. Though in the most brilliant and wonderful details of this story the author has adhered strictly to verisimilitude, his narrative possesses as much of the charm of mystery as one of the talcs in the Arabian Nights' Entertainments. EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY.—The mino rity in the dvision, which took place on Tuesday, on the question of running trai ns on S un d ay , have commenced an action against the Directors, and intended to retain Alr• Rutherford, the late Lord Advocate, but the majoritywere toe quick for them, as Sir Andrew found the Non-Intrusionist Advocate already returned on the other side. THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO PORTS- MOUTH. PORTSMOUTH, Mon-AY NlO.HT.—The scene which her Ma jesty's visit to this town has occasioned has been most ariimatinga It has alseady been stated that immediately the gratifying intelligence respecting her Majesty's intended visit reached the municipal authorities, the latter assembled and determined upon addresses to her Majesty and Prince Albert. These ad - dresses were forwarded to her Majesty at Brighton, and this ' morning the authorities, who were under the impression that they would be permitted to present them immediately upon her Majesty's arriving at Sir Edward Codrington's residence in the Dockyard to-day, received a letter from the lion. Mr. Anson, intimating to them that her Majesty would receive the addresses to-morrow immediately previous to her departure for Brighton. I It has also been noticed that the authorities convened a meeting of the inhabitants in order to deliberate upon the mode in which they could best testify their affectionate loyaly to, and the profound sense they entertained of, the honour about to be conferred upon the town by her Majesty. They determined upon illnminating, and the very general and active " preparations for that purpose, which resounded through the lead;ngthoroughfares at daylight this morning, evinced the sincerity with which that determination had been come to. But these are not the only marks of gratifying attachment that the people of Portsmouth have shown towards their be loved Queen. The leading streets present one continuous line of flags, exhibited in every possible way that they can be dis played. Here union jacks are thrust forth from every window of a bandit) , ; there a huge royal standard hangs floating from the roof ofano.her ; here flags of various nations stretch across the street; there they hang down the entire sides of houses; and the alacrity and cheerfulness with which the various owners hung out each his store of " colours," was, pet haps, indicative as much of the existence of good old English naval spirit, as of joy at the expected presence of her Majesty. Among the distinguished company who arrived yesterday were the Earl of Haddington, Sir George Cockburn, and Sir William Gage, accompanied by their Secretary, the Hon. Sidney Herbert. They came to Gosport by the South Western Railway. Upon their arrival at Portsmouth, they immediately proceeded to the George Inn, whence, at a very late hour last Hight, they forwarded to Sir Edward Codring ton their orders relative to the arrangements for her Majesty's visit. to the Dockyard, and her expected trip to the Queen, the flag-ship of Vice- Admiral Sir E. Owen, at Spithead. His Grace the Duke of Wellington (the Lord Lieutenant of the ceunty) arrived at the George Inn a few minutes after eight o'clock last night. Arrangements had been made for the reception of the Duke at the residence of Sir Hercul Pakenham, with whom it was understood he would dire, but his Grace, owing. I understand, to the fatigue of the journey down, remained at the George Inn, wi 11 the quiet room fur nished far him, in which he is stated to have expressed himself much pleased. The Earl of Liverpool arrived tere by post a few minutes ' before seven o'clock this morning Among the other Company that. have arrived, and are stop ping at the George Inn. are Lord flardwicke. L rd Adolphus Fi zcla.rance, Sir Willoughby Cotton, Admiral Percy, Sir Charles Sullivan, Sir Thomas Cochrane, Sir Mamas Trou bridge, Cala. Freemaritle, Capt. Bruce, Count de Schomberg, Capt. de Zaitsch, Dr. Prwtoritr, Soon after daybreak the inhabitants of the town began to as semble in small clusters in the principal streets, and eagerly entered into conversation as to the prolaib'e state of the wea ther ; and, as the ciouds were overca a, many persons enter tained tears that if the morning should tut n out as yesterday, her Majesty and her royal Consort might be induced to delay their vi-it. All doubts, however, were dispersed at seven o'clock this morning, when the Admiralty flag was hoisted on board the Alfred, at Spithead, and Admit al Cudrington imme diately saluted her from his ship, the St. Vine,nt, with 19 guns. 'the Alfred returned the salute with 17. This was considered sufficient proof of the certainty of her Majesty's arrival, and the busy note of preparation increased up to the time that our beloved Sovereign " hove in sight" (as an old veteran called it) at Landport. The vessels stationed off Spithead are the Queen, 110, Captain Frederick Rich, bearing the flag of Vice-Admiral Sir Edward Owen, red at the fore ; the Alfred, 50, Captain J. B. Purvis, bearing the flag of the Lords Commissioners of the Ad miralty ; and the Formidable, 84, Captain Sir Chas. Sullivan, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral J. Percy, blue at the mizen. While speaking of the ships and vessels off this port, it may be as well to give a list of them, in order that your readers may be the better enabled to judge of the brilliancy of the illu minations this evening (pursuant to an order of the Lords of the Admiralty), and the effective and grand scene which this ancient port at this moment presents. 'the following is a list of the ships, with the names of their officers : In the harbour, to the left of what are called George the Third's Stairs, lie the St. Vincent, 120, Captain Codrington, C. 8., bearing the flag of Sir Edward Codrington, Com mander-in-chief, white at the main; the Victory, 104, Capt. W. W. Henderson, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral D. B. Bouverie, red at the mizen ; the Royal George y ac ht, L or d Adolphus Fitzelarence ; th Excellent, 48, Captain Sir Thos. Hastings ; Carysfort, 26, Captain Lord George Paulet ; Nautilus, 10, Lieutenant Thomas; bingdoye, 16, Commander Sir William Daniel ; Vindictive, 50, Captain J. T. Nicolas, C. 8., bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Sir Thomas Coch rane; Winchester, 50, Captain Thomas W. Carter; the Black Eagle, Master aamuel Cook, in attendance upon the Lords of the Admiralty : Sylva, Commander Sheringham, and Volcano steam-boat, Lieutr nant Featherstone. The Styx ar rived in the course of the morning, from the western islands, and will contribute her share to the grandeur of this evening's exhibition. The preparations of her Majesty's suite of apartments, at the Admiral's house, were completed at an early hour this morning. They have been fitted up in a chaste and unosten tatious style, and a small sitting-room due west, which over looks the shipping in the harbour, has been appropriated at the express desire of her Majesty, to her use. Her Majesry's plate was received this morning by the In spector of Palaces, who immediately superintended its removal to Sir Edward Codrington's. Shortly before noon Lord Beanclerk, aide-de-camp to her Majesty, arrived at the Admiral's residence, where he will re. main until the Queen's departure. In the early part of the morning the Royal George yacht was brought up near the Icing's-stairs, by command of Lord Adolf hus Fttzelarence, as it was believed her Majesty would go on board and inspect this beautiful vessel in she att,rnoon. Lord fladdington accompanied Lord Adolphus Firaelarence yesterday to the harbour, arid inspected the 'loyal George, when he expres-ed his aamiration of her. This splendid yacht is in the same state as when George the Fourth last used her, except that she has a different carpet in her, which was laid down upon the occasion of her Majesty the Queen Dow ager sailing in the Royal George to Germany, Iry the event of her Majesty precreding to Spithead to morrow, it is 1101 known whether she will do so in the Black Eagle ste .mer or the Royal George, but the general belief is that the tacht will be engaged to convey her thither. The fa) Ifs of the Admiralty transact the Business at the George Hotel, and throughout yesterday, up tit a late hour at night, were actively engaged in forwarding instructions to Admiral Sir Edward Codrington and the Lieutenant-Gover nor, Sir Hercules Faketihant. This morning the orders of the Board of Admiralty and the Admiral were promulgated among the various flag-officers, cap tains, commanders, and ci mmanding r fficeis siationt d here. About eleven the Lieut. naro-Governor had an interview with his Grace the Duke of Wellington at the Gt- orge, and soon after Admiral Codrington arrived. aecompan ed by his flag-lieutenant, and alter remaining a few minutes with the Board of Admiralty, he left the George with Earl Hadding ton, who returned with the Admiral to his residence in the Dockyard, whither his Lordship was followed by the other members of the Boa,d of Admiralty, to await her Majesty's arrival. At twelve o'clock the troops on duty were formed in review order, the depot of the 19th Foot resting on the Lion-gat e , an d the 34th, 73d, arid 32d regiments taking their positions in sec tions along St. James's-street, St..lohn's-square, and the Com mon-hard by the Dockyard-gates, in files at about four paces interval. A guard of honour, consisting of grenadier comp a .. ales of the 32d, 34th, and 73d, and a company of the Royal Marines, with their band and colours, under the command of Major C. J. B. Menden, of the 73d regiment, was formed on the Grand Parade at eleven o'clock, and marched by him into the Dockyard, where he took up his position, and awaited the orders of the commanding officer. While these arrangements were being carried out in Ports mouth, the inhabitants of Landport were in no respect back- ' ward, so far as their means allowed them, in their expression of loyalty to our gracious Queen and her Royal Consort. At en early hour a number of the inhabitants formed them selves into a Committee, and determined upon erecting three triumphal arches, under which her Majesty was to pais on her route to the Dockyard. ARRIVAL OF HER MAJESTY. At 20 minutes after 12 o'clock her Majesty arrived at the first triumphal arch, at Landport, preceded by outriders and an escort of Scots Greys, under the command of Capt. Millman. Immediately upon the Royal cortege being seen the most deafening huzzas were set up, and the Landport Committee formed themselves into procession, each inhabitant carrying a blue and gold wand. Thirty-nine of the ropemakers, dressed in white jean jackets and trousers, and wearing blue silk scarfs, on which were inscribed " God save the Queen," met her Majesty at the first arch, and formed into procession immedi ately before the escort of Scots Greys. The Royal cortege consisted of four carriages (each drawn by four post horses), containing the following distinguished personages, viz., her Majesty, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Duke of Saxe Coburg, accompanied by his brother ' and Isis two sons, Prince Leopold and Augustus; Lady Port man, Lord Hardwicke, Count de Schomberg, Dr. Prwtorious, and several of the Royal Household. Both the Queen and his Royal Highness appeared in excel lent health, and acknowledged the hearty congratula'ions with which they were met is the most gracious manner. The Royal party, upon reaching the gate at Landport, wcre saluted by the military that lined the road, and they proceeded along Queen-street. St. James's -street, St. George's-square, Ordnance-row, and the Common-hard, to the Dockyard gates, which were closed. The rope-mak , rs of the Dockyard are privileged, it is said, to escort a Sovereign into Portsca. Upon this occasion they were under the suierintendence of Mr. Mortimer, who formed part of the escort that accompanied the Allied Sovereigns into this town. Upon the arrival of her Majesty at the end of Queen -street, Sir Hercules Pakenham met the 'loyal pa ty, accompanied it to the Dockyard-gates, which sere closed. The Duke of NVellitigton also j , ,ined the dislitiguished visitors in Ordnance row. When her Majesty reached the Dockyard gates Sir Hercules Pakenham delivered upt he key' to the Queen, and her gracious Majesty returned the same with her usual condescension, and the Royal party were immediately admitted. The Royal carriage, drove up in front of the Admirai's hBuse, where a temporary awning had been erected, and the steps covered with scar:et cloth. Upon the distinguished party alighting from the carriages, they were received by Admiral Sir E. Codrington, Fart Had dington, Sir G. Cockburn, sir W. Gage, Vice - Admiral Sir E. Owen, Rt-ar- Admiral the Hon. D. P. Bouverie, Admiral Sir T. Cochrane, Rear-Admiral the Hon. J. Percy, &c. The Royal party, upon entering the Admiral's residence, partook of a dejeueer, hut the Duke of Wellington did not re main more than a few minutes at the Admire. s. At one o'clock his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Duke of Saxe Coburg and his brother, with alie Princes Leopold and Augustus, and Admiral Sir E. Coitrington and Admiral Sir E. Owen, with the Lords t f the Admiralty, proceeded to inspect her Majesty's ship Excellent, and alter going over that tine vessel, the illusirious Visitors expressed their high gratification at the admirable condition of the vessel Her Majesty did not accompany them in consequence of over-fatigue, but took some repose during the absence of her Royal Cons , rt. At a quarter to tee o'clock the Royal party returned in three of the Royal carriages to the Admiral's residence, and were loudly cheered by the numerous workmen belonging to the Dockyard. Shortly after half -past three o'clock her Majesty left the Ad miral's residence, and, ace mpanitd by Prince Albert, the Duke of Wellington, and other distinguished personages, pro ceeded in three of the State carriages to the King's Stairs, where her Majesty embarked in the State barge, and visited the St. Vincent, 120. The weather had now changed the rain fell in torrents, and the wind blew a gale. It was anticipated that this would induce her Majesty, upon leaving the above splendid vessel, to return to the Admiral's residence, and the crimson cloth up - en which she had walked from the State car riage to the stairs, and which had been taken up as soon as the rain began to fall, was again laid down, but her Majesty signified that it was her pleasure to visit the Royal yacht, lying somewhat higher up the harbour. The State barge was ac- Tordingly steered in the directi .n of the yacht, in board of which her Majesty went and remained for a considerable time. Upon leaving the Royal yacht the State barge was quickly p tiled to shore, and her Majesty, having landed, returned to the Admiral's residence. Prince Albert, the Duke of Albemarle, .and several others of the distinguished company:then went through the various departments of the Dockyard, attended by Sir L. Codrington, and in the evening a numerous party (see Court Circular) had the honour of dining with her Majesty.

This popular Queen, in her progress , not far from this spot, was received with four days' entertain ments. Latin odes, complimentary verses, devices of all forms and fashions, were constructed to do her the best homage.
