Mr. FERRAND again drew the attention of the House of Commons last night, to some of the evils to which the working classes of England are exposed. He again talked of the truck system, of the overwork in factories, and much of cloth made firm with paste, and much of the " devil's dust." That happened then which we foresaw would happen, A manufacturer, and one who reprobates the oppression of which individual manufacturers are guilty, and is guilty of none himself; Mr. FIELDEN, while he admitted the sufferings of the workmen in some occupations, referring them to the general poverty, drew from his pocket an account of a case of oppression in the agricultural districts, and proved that cruelty and ty ranny prevail there, as well as in the manufacturing districts. In fact, industry is universally tyrannised over by property ; the master—for the hand of man makes all wealth—has become the slave of his own creature, and the cases quoted by Mr. FERRAND are only examples of the general usurpation. For upwards of twenty years there has been a contest, which is no secret, and not confined to a narrow spot, between capital and labour. Books, pamphlets, news papers have been written on both sides of the question; the controversy is but the representative of many practices; and Mr. FERRAND has undertaken the task, having no conception, apparently, of the origin of the contest, or of the principle on which it hinges, of making known to property a few cases of the hardship inflicted by it on industry. But why does Mr. FEanaND mix up these cases with a defence of the Corn-laws—one of the most outrageous examples of property tyrannizing over industry by moans of legislation ? Why does ho found on these cases a personal attack on a few men of property, who, feeling in their own case the injustice of this law, ask for its repeal ? Mr. FER RAND by his course of proceedings demonstates his own ignorance of the principles of this question, and his ter rible unfitness for the office he has undertaken of alvo eating the interests of the working classes. If he rightly understood the question, he would not confine himself to attacking some mill-owners of Dewsbury, or some remote part of Lan cashire, or harp continually on an economical mode of making inferior cloth (the shoddy trade), or dwell on cloth being filled up with paste ; if he touched it at all in Parliament he would go into the whole subject. He would examine the foundations of the capitalists' and landowners' claims. He would prove that the disease is general. He would show that in mines as in mills, amongst grinders as well as amongst shoddy workers,—that metropolitan scavengers as well as fitetory girls—that the lumper-fed Irish as well as the half-starved hand-loom weavers—that, in short, the labourers in every branch of business and every dis trict of the country, are sorely vexed by too much and very often disgusting and painful toil, and are too poorly paid. But so to treat the subject is far be yond the power of this loud-bawling young man, who is obviously unacquainted with the principles on which the whole depends. In treating it, a reflecting and kind man, who knows how essential to the well-being of society are many of those occupations which Mr. FERRAND repre sented as disgusting or irksome, and who is well aware that to toil is the lot of man, from which he cannot wholly escape,—would be careful to say as little as possible against the occupation, however much he might insist on unpleasant toils being handsomely and adequately paid. Mr. FER RAND is most injudicious in his advocacy, for he selects one or two noisome occupations, and one or two cases of individual oppression, and on them founds charges p,gainst all the manufacturers of England. With respect to this shoddy trade, of which he it ij no secret, and no f rau d. O n the contrary, we speaks,re member very well reading the account which was pub ',gibed of the plan at the time that it was introduced. m ite k praise was then bestowed on the inventor, as hav ing economised the resources of the country. As to un pleasantness, it appears to us that those who gather and sort old rags of all kinds for paper-making, when they gre converted into a pulp, are jut as much exposed to unplea opt consequences as those who pick them and throw them !nto a teasing mill, to recon ver t th em i nto w ool. Nobody ever says anything against the former occu pation, but some persons who are envious, like the Whit ney to manufact urer referred by Mr. ;ERRAND, of th e success of the Yorkshiremen, attack the shoddy manu facture because it is new. Mr, FERRAND appealed by his remarks to the ignorance of his auditors, and at least he raved his own. We are not on the whole, however, sorry, that the manufacturers have been exposed to his fire, though we could have wished the attack more judiciously made. a. No class of men have in general, we regret to say, been -` 4 : 09,4T,f9rrarci to imitate most of the bad habits of the axis tocracy, from whom they have borrowed the vile practice, 1 amongst others, of treating their workmen like slaves. I ' 7 t agree with the Editor of the Leeds T im e s, who writes IV from the midst of them, and expresses the sentiments of , a discerning friend : At the same time, we shall not say that the master manufac turers have been without blame as respects their relations with their workmen. They look upon them too generally in the light of mere machines—as instruments to make money with, ra ther than as sentient, rational, immortal beings like them selves. They have mixed too little with their workmen ; they have not cultivated their sympathies and affections ; they have not taken care enough to promote their well-being and happiness. Hence the now isolated position of masters and ' men, and the sullenness, reserve, and suspicion, with which they mutually regard each other, in this country. The slight and contempt, however, with which the ' aristocracy and its writers have of late treated the manu facturers, will, we hope, awaken in them a true sense of the manner in which they degrade themselves by. aping the nobility. Their best friends are their workmen. They are the soil in which they take root. Without them they cannot flourish ; with them they have a coin mon interest. They are embarked in the same boat, though one steers, and the others row at different oars ; and if they pull different ways, how shall the boat go a-head ? They perform different parts of a common operation, which grows from the great natural system of division of labour. They are to one another what the two legs or the two hands are to the body ; and if one be mutilated or destroyed, the other becomes inefficient or powerless. Let us hope, therefore, that the maAer manufacturers, now openly insulted and injured by the landlords, will turn from them to cultivate friendly rela tions with their workmen ; so shall both be strong in their own natural strength, and great in their own natu ral greatness. They belong to each other, and form parts of a vast and harmonious system. If they be united, they may bid defiance to landlords or legislators, and to every extraneous and foreign power which shall seek to domineer over them, or lay down laws for the exer cise of their useful callings. We publish only one of several communications which have been addressed to us, while we know that similar communications have been made to the total repeal Members—recommending them to withdraw from Par liament and leave the monopolists to pass their own enactments unopposed. Without joining in the recom mendation, for we have many doubts of its propriety, the Liberal . Members being able to send advice from Parliament through the entire country, which they can do from no other point, we notice it as another illustra. tion of the fact, that the Parliament is fast sinking into public and universal contempt. It is branded as the in strument of the monopolists, as a contrivance to per petrate class wrongs, and only those will continue to respect it or long obey its decisions in whose favour they are given. Such is the inevitable result of its narrow ccn stitution, and its unjust proceedings. Acts of Parliament cannot alter the human mind, which has been consti- tuted to despise and hate injustice. We may look, there fore, for a natural and necessary decay of every autho rity which persists in perpetrating injustice. The pre sent conduct of Parliament, consequently, directs attention to the probable future fate of society, and ex cites some alarm for the continuance of that social order which is supposed, perhaps erroneously, to depend exclu sively on Acts of Parliament. It must be gratifying to the public to observe, that, as the respect for the authority of Parliament has dimin ished, order has not been disturbed, nor peace violated. It is now four years nearly since the Chartists fih st formed themselves into a distinct body, and the basis of their union was a declaration against the existing repre sentation of the people. It is two years since their Con vention met, and during the whole four years the bulk of the people have been exposed to the severest priv a- Lions. What, then, has been their conduct ? In general most peaceful and praiseworthy. The following is Mr. ROEBUCK'S testimony, given at Bradford, on Friday last, confirming a similar testimony, given both in and out of Parliament, at other places : Those who live by rent have set themselves in opposition to those who live by labour, and have thought themselves bene fited. The labouring classes have been deeply injured by those who have the monopoly of power. Millions have petitioned the Legislature to put down the monopoly, and their petitions have been determinately refused. The working classes have said, we will let the middle classes fight out their own battle, though not one intelligent man in this class doubted that the Corn-law was a bad law. But a question of still deeper im portance lay behind it. We will hear the ills of our present conditian,—thus speak the working classes—we will put up with poverty and all its concomitants, rather than be diverted from our fixed aim, the obtaining of political power. Their firmness and fortitude had commanded the admiration and respect of all other classes. Their sufferings had been great, but their fortitude had been still greater. We might speak of the great deeds of former ages, but history re. cords nothing equal to the fortitude and perseverance with which the working classes of this country have stuck to a great principle. Want has invaded their houses; they have seen their wives and their children in want of daily bread; but btill they have said, we will submit to all this, but we will not sub mit to barter our rights as freemen.--( Cheers.) We will stand out for these rights, and let the middle classes try themselves. Their fortitude in bearing suffering, their perseverance in a good cause, their continued peaceable behaviour, obi ously are not the offspring of that law or that authority which they despise, but of their own love of peace and order. But not only is the law losing its authority, it de serves to lose it, because it is in many cases a mere abuse. It becomes, therefore, of greater importance, perhaps, than ever to cultivate good dispositions in the people, and by all possible means to strengthen in them those motives to good behaviour which must supply the 'place of de caying authority. If it be true that the bulk of the people proclaim aloud their contempt for the law and authority which makes it, the State cannot any longer rely on teaching obedience to the law as a means of preserving order and peace in society. It must address itself to higher mo tives. The people must be enjoined and instructed, as they were by Mr. THOMPSON, in that speech wst published yesterday, to avoid violence, became it is in itself hateful; they must be encouraged, as he encouraged them, to look to a quiet demeanour and a peaceful development of moral power for their success ; and they must be as sured that they will give a triumph to their enemies if they pass beyond the bounds of prudence and justice. If the authority of the Legislature, as now constituted, fall into disrepute, it will be for society a fearful circum stance, if its place be not supplied by increasing know ledge and good dispositions in the people. A return, issued yesterday morning, to an order of the House of Commons, throws some additional light on the sliding scale of Sir ROBERT PEEL. It is entitled a " Statement of the quantities of foreign grain of each kind, and of what flour, which paid the several duties, together with the per centage proportion which those quantities bore to the total quantities of the respective kinds entered for home consumption, from July, 1828, to the sth of January, 1842." The total quantity of wheat imported during that period has been 13,558,181 quarters, or about one million of quarters each year, nearly one half of which, or about 43 per cent. was not taken out of bond till the duti fell to Is., wheat being at the enormous price of 735. and upwards per quarter, and more than three-fourths (7867 per cent.) was not taken out till wheat was 725. per quarter. No better proof can be given that the sliding scale acts virtually as a prohibition to the im portation of grain till it reaches a famine price ; for the total amount imported at the lower duty does not exceed 250,000 quarters each year, the greater proportion of which was sold at or above 695. This small quantity, as compared with the total consumption, hardly deserves to be taken into account. Will the new sliding scale act differently ? The corn-dealers will lay their heads together under the one law as well as the other, and keep back grain till it can be imported at the lowest duty. It is a fact, too, worthy of notice, that the total amount of wheat imported at 18s. Bd., about the highest end of the new scale, was only 77,140 quarters for the period of thirteen years. The landlords may strive to keep up the mock cry against Sir ROBERT PEEL for de priving them of protection and ruining agriculture, but they know well, at least those of them who know any thing about the matter, that they will be protected as much as ever, that no additional impulse will be given to British manufactures, that the home consumption will diminish yearly, and that they will be the next class of sufferers after the operatives. The coun try, however, must, in the meantime, submit. The mis guided electors, even in manufacturing towns, combined, with the Tory landholders to return a House of Commons which will not allow Sir ROBERT PEEL, even if lie would, to grant them any relief, and on their heads, therefore, be the consequences. The very silence of the Duke of RICHMOND, and the high-price party that threatened to oust the Prime Minister, if he failed to do their bidding, is decisive on the merits of the scheme which, in a few months, will be in operation, and which we fear will con- j firm our worst anticipations. We find the following leading paragraph in the last number of the Naval and Military Gazette : We have just heard a rumour that her Majesty has it in con templation to raise to the Peerage a few of our most distinguished Admirals, namely, Sir Robert Stopford, Sir George Cockburn, and Sir Edward Codrington. We sincerely hope that this report will p rove correct, for when we bear in mind there is not at this moment even one flag - officer up on t h e list who has received this proud rewar d for Isis services to his country out of the 200 Admirals that we now have in the navy, whilst in the sister profession many Generals and Lieutenant- Generals have been justly honoured with this high distinction for their gallant services in the field, we cannot but be sanguine that the Royal favour will be extended towards the distinguished officers that we have named at no distant period, and which we are assured will be hailed with the highest satisfaction by the whole navy. In the hope expressed by our contemporary of the truth of this report we cordially join. Since the days of PITT it has been too much the fashion to recruit the Peer- THE SUN, age from the Bar, from behind the counter, and from the Stock Exchange ; and the result has been a growing contempt, on the part of the people, for that once-powerful section of the Legislature. If we are to preserve the Institution of the Peerage, we ought by all means to endeavour to make it worthy of the confidence of the country. No moans of doing this can be adopted more effectual than to recruit it from meritorious officers of a branch of the public service, which more than any other enjoys the confidence and esteem of all classes of Englishmen. But why does not the name of Commodore Sir C. NAPIER appear in the list of proposed creations ? The rules of the service are surely not binding upon our Gracious SOVEREIGN. By the junior members of the service such a mark of the Royal favour would be felt as a stimulus to valorous achievements. As regards family, the Hon. and Gallant Member for Marylebone stands on as equality with some of the proudest names in the Peerage of Scotland. As for Admiral Sir E. CODRINGTON, no honours which the Crown could confer upon him would be other than gratifying to the Navy and the Country. We have received a curious piece of news from Spain. It is a statement, by a member of the Madrid Cabinet, made in the Cortes, to the effect that Lord ABERDEEN had at first espoused the side of M. SALVANDY in the etiquette quarrel, but finding his pretensions un founded, his Lordship declared for the REGENT The Noble Foreign Secretary was doubtless start led at the way in which the Liberal press dealt with the instructions which he was reported to have transmitted through Lord COWLEY to the British Am bassador at Madrid. Certain we are that but for the English press the Tory Government would at that time have joined France against Spain. The duties on home-made brandy are to be abolished in Spain from the Ist July, 1843. Madrid Bourse on the 26th closed at 28i for cash, and 29h for 60 days. Nothing can exceed the rage with which the French Opposition journals comment upon the statement of Sir ROBERT PEEL, in the House of Commons last week, that Lord ABERDEEN had not recognised the claims of France to the possession of Algiers. Some of their paroxysms of passion are really ludicrous. They hurl defiance at England in one sentence, and affect in the next to treat decisions respecting Algiers with the utmost contempt. They tell us that we want Algiers for ourselves, and they invite us to take it, if we dare. There is little dignity in the employment of such language respecting a nation like England. However, that is a matter o taste, about which we are not disposed to quarrel with our Gallic contemporaries. We are sufficiently satisfied with ourselves to care very little what the French Oppo sition papers say about us. Did they not dread us in their inmost hearts, they would never take the trouble they do to tell the world how much they despise us. M. COUSIN, the French Peer, and Membei of the Institute, is appointed Member of the Royal Board of Instruction, in the room of M. JOUFFREY, deceased. No man in France is better qualified for a seat at that Board than M. COUSIN, whose works on popular educa tion have obtained an European celebrity. The number of French Peers at present is three hun dred and six. Of these one hundred and twelve were created before the Revolution of Juiy. These have all seats in the Chamber. Of the Peers, ninety-nine are generals, or superior officers in the army or navy ; twenty-five are diplomatists ; twenty members of the Institute ; twenty-four who are, or were prefects ; and thirty-six who are magistrates. The rest are landed pro prietors, paying taxes to the amount of three thousand francs. In proportion to its numbers, there is far snore learning, knowledge, and practical habits of legislative business in the Chamber of Peers, than in that of the Deputies, but as the Peers are for the most part the submissive slaves of the Court, these properties only make them the more dangerous to the people. The ma jority of them are poor and unprincipled. The Chamber of Deputies adopted by a majority of 229 votes against 10, the Bill for calling out, in 1843, 80,000 men of the class of 1842. The arrival of Bishop ALEXANDER in Jerusalem is noticed as a most important event in all the French journals. The Journal des Debats says : " The Anglican Bishop is more the representative of the British Crown than of the Protestant religion. We were right in raising the cry of alarm. Need we repeat that religious conversion is a political conquest for Great Britain ? And wherever the Anglican religion prevails, it absorbs the nation ality of the country. Behold a Bishop, who has come to take possession of Syria, Chaldea, Egypt, and Abyssinia, and who receives his investiture from Queen Victoria. The English flag will follow the English Bishop, and under the shade of that flag will grow the tree, just planted on the Mount of Olives. At the moment that the Anglican prelate was entering Jeru salem, cannon was announcing the celebration of the Courban- Beiram. Was not this a sign that the sterile and stationary spirit of Islamism is about to give way before the fruitful and invading spirit of Christianity ?" A missionary cannot leave the shores of England without attracting the notice of the. French press. And yet the Journals which denounced so angrily the ap pearance of a Protestant Prelate in Syria, wonder that England should have the shadow of an objection to the seizure by France of several provinces of the Ottoman empire. = • • lit, - , ,dEa k , ;ARAN "Rteno4l,72.l.s6;c4SlW7,,''''cii litg -SUM LONDON, TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 8, 1842. oently made up, the accounts showed a deficiency of 2,0001. ; 1,0001. of which has already been paid, and Mr. Perkins only requires a little time to make good the whole amount of the apparent deficiency.

An Adjourned Meeting of the members of this Society was held last night at their offices, 455, Strand, for the pur pose °flaking into consideration the measure about to be intro duced into Parliament by Lord Stanley, with respect to the sale of Colonial Lands. Mr. Pm took the Chair, and stated the object of the meet ing. He understood that Mr. Walker had some old despatches to submit to the meeting, in which was a pledge to appropriate the sale of Colonial lands to the purposes of emigration. Mr. WALKER said he had such despatches in his possession, but he had not got them with him. They were dated, June, 1831, and they contained a pledge that the produce of the sale of Colonial lands should be appropriated to eraigratien. Mr. KSNNAIRD wished to put a question io Mr. Walker, whether that pledge had been made public ? Mr. WALKER said it was not made public at the time, but it was afterwards ; and the inhabitants of the Colonies placed implicit confidence in that pledge. A GENTEMAN said that Sir George Gibbs had denied this two years ago in council. Mr. WALKER said that Sir George Gibbs had denied it, but he afterwards became so convinced of appropriating that fund to emigration, that he stated it in Council to be his belief that the fund ought not to be appropriated to any other purpose. A GENTLEMAN suggested that it would be desirable to coincide with Lord Stanley in his views, with respect to this fund, for he believed that Lord Stanley was a man of talent, and had the interest of the colonies at heart. He, therefore, thought that if they coincided in the measure, they would tie the Government to apply half the produce of the sale to emi gration which was their own proposal ; they could go for the other afterwards. Mr. HINTON said their object was to go hand in hand with Lord Stanley, but they wished to alter his scheme. A GENTLEMAN said he thought they were frightening themselves more than there was any occasion for, for he be lieved that the object of Lord Stanley was to apply not less than one half of the proceeds to emigration, and out of the other half would come the expenses of survey, malting roads, building bridges, &c., and the residue of that half to be applied to that object. The CHAIRMAN said if this was their object they could have no objection to it. After some further discussion on the motion of Mr. Hinton, a Committee was formed for the purpose of drawing up a memorial to Lord Stanley, expressive of their views on the measure he is about to introduce to Parliament, and to wait upon his Lordship with it. The Meeting was then adjourned to Wednesday week, when the memorial will be submitted to the Meeting previous to presentation. GOOD NEWS FOR TRAVELLERs.---We have great sa tisfaction in' informing our readers, that regulations have just been issued by the Board of Customs for increased facility and despatch in the house. of passengers lug gage at the Lo n d on Custom -house. A second landing waiter is to be app o i nte d to assist in the examination of the luggage, whose duty is to be confined to the examination of such of the passengers' luggage as shall not exceed one packet.. Thus, it appears, that what the Whig Government would not, or could not accomplish, has been quietly done by the Commissioners under the new Government, but this is only one instance out of hundreds, in which the Melbourne Ministry brought on themselves well-merited reproach for not compelling Tory officials to do their duty. The annoyance caused to passengers by no . dless delay, has been repeatedly ex posed in this journal, as well as in some others, but the Chairman of CvLstoms was deaf as the adder in the wilderness, till he could help the Tories.

Guizot and England, in consequence of the declaration of Sir R bert Peel in the House of Commons, that Lord Aberdeen had not recognised the conquest of Algiers by France. The Consti tationncl says :—" The conduct of our Government in this affair has been pitiable. M. Guizot was wanting in dignity when he hawked about a diplomatic conversation, establishing a right which it was shameful to allow to be made the subject of discussion. But the cup of humiliation is filled to the brim now that Sir Robert Peel gives the lie to M. Guizot, and proudly holds hack the adhesion of which our Minister had so improperly boasted. This is what is gained by seeking for strength in an understanding with Foreign Powers. It is now two months since M. Guizot made the speech against which Sir Robert Peel now protests. Why has so long a silence been observed, and why has this tardy quarrel taken place ? The reason is that M. Guizot has been compelled by the Chamber to postpone the ratification of the Treaty for the flight of Search. The English Government revenges itself for this by creating embarrassments for M. Guizot, or rather it adopts the kind of proceeding which has always succeeded with him, and throws out this affair of Algiers as a menace, in order to compel him to come to a compromise about the Right of Search." The Courrier Francais is as violent against the English on this subject as the Constitutionnel. It says to the English Government:—" Show yourselves frankly—as what you are —an insatiable and implacable Government. Say that you aspire to the supremacy or rather the sovereignty of the seas. Do not attempt to conceal your irritation at finding that the possession by us of Algiers is an additional obstacle to your unreasonable pretensions. Avow that you consider the world to be too small to contain at the same time the ambition of England and the power of France. Aspire to dictatorship— we in our turn will appeal to liberty. Europe has witnessed a coalition got up by England against the Continental pre ponderance of France ; it may witness a salutary coalition against the maritime preponderance which England has exer cised for the last quarter of a century with an insolence to which we cannot give a name." The Debats has a long article in allusion to the accusa tion against the French Government, by the opposition Jour nals, of favouring Intrigues in France for a counter-revolution in Spain. The Debats declares that the accusation is wholly unfounded, and that France is much above underhand proceedings of this nature. The Debate adds :—" The Government has no interest in fomenting revolutions in Spain. It is true, its only interest, and respecting which there can be no compromise, is not a mystery. France, as M. Guizot has said, does not pretend to exercise any excai sive influence in Spain. The two countries must be left to their natural tendency to union, and a policy of violence must not be allowed to cause a factitious separation. France has no Dretention to place one of the princes of her dynasty upon the throne of Spain ; neither does she interest herself for a son of Carlow, Her honour only demands one thing, viz. that by an alliancew ith foreign blood the crown may not be permitted to pass into another family than that of Louis XIV. and Philip V. This is the true policy of Frarce as regards Spain, and it may be openly avowed." PARLIAMENTARY. The Lord Chancellor gave notice l as t night th a t h e would move on Friday for the appointment of 4 1 Com mittee to consider the marriage law of Ireland, and that he meant to introduce a measure on the subject of the bankrupt laws ; while one referring to the Ecclesiastical Courts would be brought into the other House of Parliament. Lord Aberdeen gave, in the House of Lords, the same explanation of his speech to Count St. Aulaire which has already been given in the public papers. He did not say that he had no objection to make to the Frencn oc cupying Algiers, but he had no observation to make. The Earl of Minto vindicated himself from some charges, as he had gathered them from the newspapers, which he supposed Sir C. Napier had made against him in the House of Commons. His Lordship was properly takers to task for violating their Lordships' orders, by irregularly noticing what had occurred elsewhere. His Lordship read a letter from Admiral Stopford, contradicting an assertion which Sir C. Napier was supposed to have made in the House of Commons. Sir Hugh Campbell, in the House of Commons, gave notice of his intention to move for a Select Committee to inquire into the unhappy circumstances of the Scotch Church. Sir R. Peel laid on the table the Earl of Aberdeen's despatch to our Minister at Paris, and at the same time declared that Count St. Aulaire's misap prehension of what the Earl of Aberdeen had said was quite unintentional. In answer to Mr. Wood, Sir Robert Peel said he thought the subject of Banks of Issue had been enough investigated, and that the Government would propose a measure for their regulation, if it thought that necessary, on its own authority. Mr. Ferrand renewed and repeated his attacks on the manufacturers, but though the Honourable Mem ber was extremely vehement in his declamation and gestures, slapping his thigh with great force, be was comparatively little attended to. Even the squires are ashamed of his assistance, and he will soon sink to the level of obscurity. Some persons had compared him to Mr. D'lsraeli ; but though the latter prodigiously overrated himself, he is a scholar and a man of letters. Mr. Ferrand is merely a gentle man, endowed with a wonderfully good opinion of him self, with capacious lungs and a loud voice. Mr. Villiers stated that the declaration of the Man chester manufacturers had received about thirty addi tional signatures. Mr. Fielden could not exonerate the manufacturers, but he showed that the landlords were as bad as the manufacturers. Mr. O'Connell, in moving for a return of the arms registered in the county of Down, described to the House a brutal murder which a party of Orangemen had committed, and for which, as Lord Eliot admitted, the Jury had not very properly ac quitted the persons who had been brought to trial for the offence. Lord Eliot deplored the continuance of party spirit in Ireland, an d d ec l are d t h at t h e L or d- Lieutenant would do all in hi s power to di scourage i t. In a Committee of Supply, a f ter M r.

PUBLIC OPINION. The Morning Advertiser has a leading article, whose object is to point out the difficulty of a poor man's obtaining redress in our Courts of Law, except at a ruinous expense. Our Con temporary goes on to observe Will any one venture to say, that such a system as this does not inflict se'ious injury on the middle and poorer classes of society ; and that it does not amount, in point of fact, to a total denial of justice : creditors, for want of sufficient funds, being induced to abandon their just claims, while dishonest debtors, presuming upon their cre ditors' poverty, are tempted to offer an unjust defence ? The superior Courts are rendered totally incompetent, by their machinery and consequent costliness, to supply the desidera tum ; and we shall, therefore, watch with much anxiety the progress of Lord Brougham's measure." The Post hazards the following speculations, as regards Sir Robert Peel's financial propositions in his approaching Budget: —" An impression extensively prevalent is, that the deficiency of the revenue will be supplied by means of a general tax upon all incomes exceeding a certain amount. This measure, should it be proposed, will undoubtedly experience a very formidable resistance. It cannot, however, we imagine, be in the con templation of Sir Robert Peel to propose to Parliament the re-imposition of an income-tax, unless, perhaps, as a tempo rary measure, to prevent an accumulation of debt during the brief period that may be expected to elapse before nationa' prosperity shall be revived." . . The Herald is quite delighted with, what it calls, the pre sent tranquil state of the country, observing :—" Amongst the phenomena attendant upon the return of the Conservatives to power, the least obtrusive, but not the least important, is the repose which the country enjoys from political agitation. In this repose there is nothing of weariness, or of indifference. Men think as actively as ever, and take as great an interest as ever in the administration of public affairs; but the storm of public strife has subsided, and the heat of private altercation on party politics has cooled down into reasonable discussion of the general weal. Nor will the beneficial effects of this change be perceived only in the restoration of social harmony. The attention of the people, no longer distracted or amused by the 'tug' of party warfare, will revert to industrial pursuits." The Times contains an article on the subject of the navy, from which we quote the following passage :—" On the in sufficient manning of our vessels we should have expected but one opinion. We should have thought that the lessons which we received thirty years since, in the American war, would have been sufficient warning against that slovenly mode of sending out ships, which is only to be palliated by an undis puted supremacy, amounting to 'dominion over the sea, and hardly by that. It is satisfactory to find that the principle of aiemploying we fhe Letwa v e eu r s ihkni know ot s ewa a do n udr of b o b e w t en t i e n s r gt r a l ei p an po l r e i h n ,o t e na d nad i n s by at lengthes sudden dbdlable nt o e trustrnt o e be piney to a reverse." The Chronicle discusses some of Lord Campbell's proposed Law Reforms. " In this laudable attempt at real reform of the law," says our Contemporary, "he was but partially sup ported by Lord Cottenham, and opposed by Lord Lyndhurst and Lord Brougham. Both took the same ground, the needlesnesss of change, because of the non-existence of arrears in the Privy Council. The non-existence of arrears may be a proof of excellence in a tribunal ; itgenerally is p roof of its bein g ver y bad. Th e r e are no arrears in the Court that nob od y l ikes to re sort to ; and by making any Court as bad, fluctuating, dilatory, and e x p ens i ve as t h e P r i vy Council and House of Lords, yOu may infallibly the kee talk goes, the m ain ob j ect of Cour t of p d own arrears. If ' keeping down th e arrears' is, as Justice, the best way w ould be to transfer the app e llate jurisdic tion to th e C omman d er -i n -Chief." The Glas gow S a t ur day Post says that many of the farmers in the ne i g hb our h oo d o f P a i s ley, " who hitherto have been unconvinced, are now, at their cost , be comin g conv erts to the repeal of th e s t arvat i on l aws . The farmers now find it difficult to dispose of th e i r d a i r y p r oduce in Paisley , but have, in seve ral instanc es w hi c h we h av e heard of, had to proceed to Gies u e f th e sliding observes scale gow, or else su b m it to s uch a reduction as would soon land them in the same position as the ins olvent manufact urers." The c e Scots man o of th ethe corn t e e : s — i s hi couse qnn the con tinental po r t s w h en p r i ce s here are low , and being brought i n , suddenly when a bad harvest occurs, and paid with geld, it de ranges the currency, and paralyses trade.' The Liverpool Chronicle remarks that the late debates on the Corn-laws have done thus much good—viz., "They have opened the eyes of the people to the true state of the representation of the country. They have convinced them that the House of Commons is the mere House of the landlords in which the in terests of that class only are studied and cared for. They have taught them that the men of the landed interest, who were once supposed only to be selfish, are now become cruel also." The Dublin Evening Post asserts, with reference to Sir Robert Peel's Corn-law measure :—" The Bill will pa3s ; without any alteration whatever in the scale —and now, we may be permitted to say, with the Duke of Buckingham, that Sir Robert Peel has driven the point of his wedge into the • r landocracy of Great Britain and Ireland. He may not do it, • but circumstances will drive it home. It is a heavy blow, and a great discouragement to the monopolists. That it will do any good to the manufacturing and commercial interests, we deny ; but its failure in this respect will be no relief or conso lation ti. the landlords. They must reduce their rents." We take the following from the Leeds Mercury:—" An attempt is making to ' reconcile the middling and labouring classes,' and to join them in a demand for Universal or Com plete Suffrage. Those of the middle classes whom the New Corn Bill has made into extreme Radicals, look to this union as the only means of obtaining Free Trade in Corn. They are therefore paying great court to the Chartists, and are seeking to persuade them to join in a new agitation, in which two or three of the Six Points are to be struck out, the ob noxious name of the Charter is to be sunk, and the united band is to be led by new middle-class leaders. To this proposal, however, the Chartists very naturally and justly demur." The Somerset County Gazette says :—" Toryism has been ever inveterately hostile to the possession of the franchise by the people, and has ever sought to withhold and restrict it. Now that Toryism has the power of carrying that hostility into prac tical effect, and accomplishing its darling slesire of undoing the little good the Reform Bill has accomplished, it should riot ex cite surprise if it ventured upon the experiment. We, there fore, warn our readers to prepare for this threatened attack upon their constitutional privileges. If it come, it will be in the co vert form of a registration, so complicated and costly, that only the wealthy and the idle will be enabled to devote to it theneed ful expense and time." MONE T—TRADE—COMMERZE. At Bradlord the business is far short of an average for the season : at I - Talifax the sales are better ; as also at Leeds ; Lei eester and Manchester both labour under depression ; Hud dersfield and Rochdale are both stationary in their trade. MLECIICONEETZING. Various parties are alrealy named in consequence of the va cancy in the representation of Brighton, occasioned by the failure of Messrs. Wigney, viz. on the Liberal side, Lord Mor peth and Lord Edward Howard; and on the Tory, Mr. Lawrence Peel, brother to the Premier, and an old resident at Brighton, as also Lord William Harvey, and Sir Adolphus Dalrymple. LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC. At a meeting of the Architectural Society, held in Lincoln's Inn-fields last week, the President gave an account of the la bours of Colonel Vyse and Mr. Perring, among the Pyramids of M ddle Egypt. They found the original dimensions of the Great Pyramid near Gizeh so vast as to be almost incredible. The Pyramid was stated to have been 764 square feet at the base, and 430 feet of perpendicular height, covering 13 acres, 1 rood, 22 perches of ground, and could not now be boat for less than 30,000,000/. sterling. The northern part of Siberia is about to be explored by order of the Emperor of Russia, who has granted 13,000 roubles from the treasury in furtherance of the expedition. The second portion of the library of the late George Chal mers is to be sold at Messrs. Evans's to-day. Among the scarce works, is the first edition of Sir P. Sidney's " Apology for Portry," which was not printed till 1595, nine years after the author had been killed before Zutphen. NAVAL AND MILITARY. The Hon. Edward Plunkett, Lieutenant in the 95th Regi ment, is now under Court-martial, at Chatham, for conduce subversive of good order and military discipline. THICATSLICILL. Yesterday in 1575, the General Assembly of Scotland enacted that no comedies nor tragedies, or such plays, shall be made on any history of canonical Scriptures, nor on the Sabbath-day. If any minister be the writer of such play, he shall be deprived oI his ministry. As for plays of another kind, they shall be examined before they be pronounced publicly." In the following year, the Assembly refused its permission to the Bailie of Dunfermline to represent, on Sunday afternoon, a certain play which was not founded on the canonical part of Scriptures. C 0 rA.S IO NAB Z Viscountess Palmerston had a brilliant soiree on Saturday night at her mansion on Carlton-house-terrace. The Countess of Jersey returned to town on Saturday for the season. The French Ambassador will give a grand dinner on Thurs day next in Manchester-square. The Duke and Duchess of Marlborough have been enter taining a large party at Blenheim during the past week. Viscount and Viscountess Villiers have taken a mansion in Grosvenor-pace for the season. The Dowager Duchess of Cleveland is now on a visit to tha Duke and Duchess of Cleveland, at their hunting seat, near Grantham. The Earl and Countess of Bandon have left Dublin for London. MISCELLANEOUS. The Brighton Bank was established in 1796, by the late Mr. William Wigney, who si as a coal merchant and large brewer. On his decease, Mr. Clement and Mr. J. Newton Wigney, the sitting member for the borough, conducted the bank, and Mr. George Wigney the brewery, During the panic of 1825, when three Brighton banks failed, this possessed as much Confidence as before. The purchase of the Auchenmalg e s t a t e b y L or d S ta i r, was celebrated with rejoicings by all its tenantry in common, with the Liberals of South Scotland, at the beginning of last week ; Captain Dalrymple, the Liberal representative of Wig ownshire, Mr. Horsman, Sec. added to the festivity, by their presence. Mr. Edward Hitching, the next of kin of the late eccentric Mr. James Wood, and one of the parties in the great will cause, died on the 3d instant at the age of ninety. By the decision of Sir Herbert J. Fust, Mr. Hitchings would have inherited the immense property of the rich banker, a decision reversed by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. The celebrated Aut gold, which has attracted the attention of travellers in the East of late, is found extensively in the regions between the Himalaya mountains and Thibet ; where it appears in the shape of a natural exfoliature from the rock in which it is deposited. RUMOURS OT THE DAY. Sir Robert Stopford, Sir George Cockburn, and Sir Edward Codrington, are spoken of as about to be raised to the Peerage by her Majesty. COURT CIRCULAR. - - MONDAY.—Her Majesty and Prince Albert took a carriage airing this morning at ten o'clock. Major- General Sir E. Bowater attended her Majesty on horseback. Their Serene Highnesses Duke Ferdinand and the Princes Augustus and Paul Leopold took their departure from the Pa ♦ilion this morning, at nine o'clock, for Dover, on their re turn home. This morning her Majesty's riding-horses were sent by the railway to London, and the horses for the Royal carriages were placed on the road to convey her Majesty to town to-morrow. A great number of the Household left this day. Mr. Ramsay, one of the Inspectors of the General Post office, has been engaged for several days at the Post-office here investigating the circumstances connected with the loss of a number of letters. It appears that within the last two months no less than forty-eight letters, containing money, and ad dressed to various individuals in Brighton, have never reached their destination. A number of officers searched the whole of the clerks, sorters, and letter-carriers, and afterwards pro ceeded to their various residences, to endeavour to find out the guilty, but nothing has been discovered. The various par ties employed in the Post-office consider it a great hard ship to be subject to the searching of their private houses, as it causes a stigma on them in the neighbourhood in which they reside. The Duchess of Kent arrived at Clarence House yesterday afrernoon, from a visit to the Queen at Brighton. Her Royal Highness was attended by Lady Fanny Howard and Sir George Couper, Bart. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess and the Princess Au gusta of Cambridge, returned to Cambridge House last even ing, from honouring the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort, with a visit at their seat Badminton, Gloucestershire. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester visited her Majesty, the Queen-Dowager yesterday at 1 larlborough-house. The Prince of Capua and Count St. Aulaire, the French Ambassador,transacted business yesterday, at the Foreign-office. Mr. Dean, Chairman of the Customs, had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer yesterday at his official resi dence in Downing-street. Sir John llilley Doyle, K. C. B. , and Mr. Eicke had an in terview with the Earl of Aberdeen, on Saturday, in relation to the Naval and :Military claims on the Government of Portugal. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge honoured the rehearsal of the Concert of Ancient Music, at the Hanover square Rooms, yesterday morning, with his presence. Despatches from the Governor of the Mauritius were re ceived yesterday afternoon at the Colonial-office. Despatches were received in the forenoon from the Lord High Commis sioner of the lonian Islands, and from the Governor of Malta. THE TORY SLIDING SCALE. TUNE—" THE SEA !" The slide, the slide, the Corn-law slide, 'I he prop of rents of Peers' the pride— With a sovereign stopt, and a triplet bound; It runneth the scale's cramp'd legion round; It plays with the funds, it mocks supplies, And like a cursed creature lies. Peel's on the sli,!e ! Peel's on the slide! He is where he would ever glide, With the rich above and the poor below, And silence, or the wails of woe: If a storm should come, or want prevail, What matter, what matter, he'll ride on his sliding-sealt.. He loves, oh ! how he loves to ride On his deceitful, starving slide, When ev'ry mad yell drowns a moan, Or the red rebel banner is flaunting alone ; And telleth how goeth the world of repeal, A fest'ring wound this quack cannot heal. He never gave heed to the League's loud roar, But he lov'd his bantling more and more, And backward flew to its hollow breast, Like a phantom that knoweth not where to rest; A solace to him in the midnight hour, When chill winds whistle, and famine-clouds lour. Tyrants smil'd and hail'd the morn, And the tranquil hour when Peel was born ; The farmers whistl'd, the tithe-pigs roll'd, And the Bishops they bared their bags of gold; All placemen seem'd in accents mild, To welcome to life the " expedient" child. " He has liv'd since then in calm and strife," Nearly fifty years a sycophant's life, " With wealth to spend, and a power to range, And never has sigh'd or sought for change." When his knell shall sound on the passing gale, May its music be tun'd to his sliding scale. Doncaster, March 7, 1842. STATE OF TRADE. BRISTOL WOOL FAIR, MARCH 3.—The attendance of buyers and sellers has been about an average; and the amount of business which has been done, has been as large as might be expected from the disproportion which has for some time ex isted between the prices asked and obtained by the farmers, and the market prices of Yorkshire and Lancashire; the former being decidedly higher in . proportion than the latter. The buyers from the manufacturing di , tricts have been cautious in their purchases, not buying unless they could see a prospect of an adequate profit. FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, MARCIE 4.—We h ave again had an i mprove d demand for Foreign wools during the past week, and theprospects of a better trade are, on the whole, more promising. ENGLISH WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, MARCH 4.—We are un able to quote any material alteration in English wools this week ; the same disinclination to purchase, except for imme diate consumption, still continues. Prices are, it any thing, a shade in favour of the buyers. WAKEFIELD, WOOL ; MARKET, MARCH 4.—The wool market continues unchanged from our last report. The pro. gross of sales in all combing wools is slow, at the lowest quota tions. There is sc Ircely any inquiry at all for blanket wools, and prices are therefore merely nominal. TRADE OF LEDs.—Both on Saturday and Tuesday the markets at our Cloth Halls were exceedingly dull, and prices nominal. Although this is the season when in ordinary times the principal sales take place for the spring, there is no im provement whatever in the demand. The more the Govern ment measure on the Corn-laws is canvassed over, the more are the manufacturing and mercantile part of the community convinced that it will give no relief to trade; confidence is, in consequence lost of any amendment for some time to come. Business in the warehouses is correspondingly dull, the few buyers who come to this market buy more sparingly than we ever knew them at this season of the year.—Leeds Mercury, MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, MONDAY EVENING. The appearance of the English Stock Market was not buoy ant to-day, there being an indisposition to operate until Sir Robert Peel's intentions are known with regard to the best me thod of raising the necessary revenue to meet the national ex . penditure. The belief is still very strong in many quarters th.,t a property tax will be proposed, but it remains to be seen whe ther, supposing this to be correct, it is such a one as would give satisfaction to the people at large. Money for all legitimate purposes continues busy. Consols for immediate transfer were to-day marked 89b to 89i ; and for the Account 89i buyers, to 891 sellers ; the latter being the quotation at four o'clock. Exchequer Pills were at 31s. to 335. premium ; and East India Bonds at Bs. to 10s. premium, both being firm ; New 'I hrec and-a-Half per Cents. ware 951 1 to W. In the Foreign Stocks to-day no feature was observable, but generally prices were steady. The Spanish Active Bonds, brought 25 for Morley, and 248 to 25 for Account. New FiN e per Cent. Portuguese Bonds were at 331, and the Three per Cents. at 19%. Mexican Stock wasiess dealt in, but obtained 38-i 38%. Colombian was at 244 to 24 1 , Peruvian at 16 1 /.), and the New Brazilian Bonds of 1829 and 1839 were at an advance to 61. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were sup ported at 52 to 52i. Although the value of Shares was maintained, less disposition was manifested on the part of the public to come into them. The current rates were—for Great Western, 24 to 248 ; the New, 12 to 128 ; the Fifths, 58 to 6} ; London and Birming ham, 85 to 86; South Western, 19 to 14 ; and York an:l North Midland New, 16 premium. Brighton were 131 to 144 discount; and Northern and Eastern, 5 discount. No intelligence has yet been received of the steamer now considered overdue from the West Indies. (From The Sun of Last Night.) LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, MARCH s.—The sales of Cotton to-day amount to 4,000 bags, at the quotations of yes terday. Holders brought forward stocks freely, but without pressing sales. The business done comprised 3,430 American, at 44d. to 68d. , 20 Pernams, 74d. ; 50 Maranhams, 52-d. to 6d_,. • 500 Surats, 3id. to 4d. LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET, MARCH s.—The business done in this Market was but small, and prices hold a downward tendency : the Market was dull throughout, and closed heavy. MANCHESTER STOCK EXCHANGE MARCH s.—There is a good general demand f or St oc k , and prices remain steady.— Manchester and Birmingham, 288; South Easterns and Dover, 26 26* ; South Westerns, 578 588 ex div. ; Sheffield and Man chester, 38 40 ; District Banks, 10g. The English Stock Market opened firm this morning, with but little doing. Consols for Money are 898 a, and for the Account 898 ; New Three-and-a -Half per Cents, 98% 99; Exchequer Bills, 31 33 premium. In the Foreign Market there is also but little doing, and the markets are steady. Spanish Active Stock is 25 t o 25 1 %; Passive, 54 , Def e r re d, 12i i; Portuguese Five per Cents. 33 to 33 1 / 2 ; Ditto, Three per Cents., 198 20 ; D utc h Two and-a-Half per ents., 518 52 3 / 4 ; Ditto, Five per Cents , 102 1 % 103 ; Mexican Stock, 38% 3 / 4 ; Colombian, 24% 3 %. The Continental arrivals consist of two French, two Flanders, and one Dutch mail. The quotations at Amsterdam on Saturday were for Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. 52*, and the Five per Cents. 104; Spanish Stock, 21 9-16. Exchange on London had advanced for cash, Two-and-a-Half per Cents. being last quoted 12 15 for bills at two months. There was no alteration from the previous rates. We are without later arrivals to-day from any quarter. The wind which blew from the eastward on Saturday and yester day has enabled a large fleet of vessels with valuable cargoes, which have been detained for some time on account of the weather in the Downs and at Liverpool, to get under weigk. From the latter place upwards of fifty sailed out of them ; twenty-one were bound to different parts of the United States. PRICES OF IRISH STOCKS, DUBLIN, MARCH 5. 3 per Cent.

The accounts from Batavia and other parts of Java, allude generally, in terms of dissatisfaction, to the Government mono polies which press upon the resources of the colonists, for although the products of the island exported to fo reign parts, amount to the very considerable sum of '20,000,000 florins annually, the island itself is only benefited to the extent of one-half of that sum, as the Govern ment in reality buys up the whole produce for about 10,000,000 florins, which it pays for too, in a de= preciated copper currency. In the same manner too, the import trade affords no fair criterion of the pro sperity of the colony, for seven-eighths of all the goods received are the produce of Government monopoly manu factories. It appears to be seriously in contemplation by the Dutch Government to establish steam com munication between Holland and Java this year ; and there ought to be some attempt made, we think, to obtain for Brithh commerce those just privileges to which, by existing treaties, it is entitled, and for which our merchants have long petitioned in vain.

TATTERSALLS—YESTERDAY. Several nobleman and gentlemen added their names to the Hit of subscriptions, and the room, for a longer period than usual, was crowded to excess. Betting was rather languid at first, but improved towards evening, and before it was brought to a close extended over a large field. The two leading fa vourites were backed for between two and three hundred each, the first at 9 to 1, with a tolerably steady aspect, and the other at 20 and 25 to I, without holding out any encouraging prospect for his backers. The Dirce Colt, Wiseacre, and Ballinkeele succeeded, in the order we have quoted them below, and the first two were rather strongly fancied; the amount laid out, however, was moderate. Several outsiders were backed, and three of them ith uncommon spirit, viz., the Joanna colt, Espartero, and Equation. Auckland was promoted to 33 to I, at a very trifling outlay. The Oaks was touched upon at intervals, and slightly to the prejudice of Passion and the Adela filly; both, however, were backed. The Amina filly found favour with two or three parties at an improved price, and is likely to be come a much better favourite. The Chester Cup betting was slack and unimportant.

Peel's Vulture colt. As there is magic in the very name of Epsom, I k now not why I have, until now, delayed all mention of the great race, the Oaks. The entry is unusually great, the betting has been unusually heavy, and, I believe, on e N o bl e Lord has laid against more than fifty mares engaged in this race. So many of these, however, were heard of only as yearlings, and have never been named in the Tattersall list, that the following summary must be supposed to contain only the doings since the Houghton meeting. Exclusive of Scott's lot, then, about twenty mares have been individually backed. Passion, still languidly heading the list, came with a rush so soon as it was made public that John Day was to train her, Mr. Et wall being named as the purchaser; 7 and 6 to I were taken to many hundred pounds. She retired about Christmas to 8 and 9 to 1, and, as your reporter writes, the books seem to he mare except P ass i on , nevert h eless f i rst fa vourite aboutr itest every ill She is engaged in the 1,000 gs., and the Hyde Park Oaks at the Hippodrome. The second favourite, the Sister to Yorkshire Lad, has been backed to win a sum of money at 12 to 1, nor more nor less. She was beat a neck by Passion in a half mile race, and very little more by Wiseacre for the Prendergast. No engagement before the day. Syren, one of Scott's, is next in favour ; 13 to 1 can scarcely be obtained about her. She was first backed at 25, then 20, and rose in one day to her present position. No engagement. The Adela fill y (L ord Jersey's) is reported to be a remark ably fine mare, indeed, the Newmarketites will hear of no other. most of the books were filled at 25 to 1, hence her rising so sudden'y to 12 to 1. Present price 14 to-1. .Noe's' gagement. The three out of the four favourites do not colas out till the day ; the public have here shown unusual judgment . Lord Exeter's Amina filly stands next, and the most • re', eently imported she i s , for un til M on d a y l as t we never beard o' her. She is a rising *favourite, and is in the 1,000 guineas. The Lass of Louton (Scott) was for some period nominallf at 14 to 1, but I doubt if she ever was backed for more till! 51. at these adds. She was at 20 to 1, then 30 to 1, and is jes' now out of the market. By Bay Middleton, an unpopular site, and has several engagements in the Spring Meetings. In the 20 and 25 to 1 class are Belle Dame, sister to Fite' roy (no engagement); the Baleine filly' a mare that ran re' spectably i n t h e H am S ta k es at Goodwoo d, rece iving 611* (no engagement) ; Topsail, backed for much more mood than any one W ou ld i magine who studies pu bli c r unnig (no engag ement ) ; the Duke of R u tl an d's f. out of Fla ts ' dam, t w i ce we ll b eaten in October (severa l e nger ments) ; Eusebia, whose best performance is the runntei second to Rostrum for the Hopeful, half a mile, receiving — a s ' ( four engagements); Norma, Captain Gardner's, twice beat about fifty yards (named in the Suffolk Stakes) ; (Scott) engaged at Newmarket; and Rupture, fi rs t backed s; 40, then at 35, then at 25 to 1 , trained at the Currag b, and no engagement.
