AlOll4llOl extensive disfranchisement in progress, from increasing , poverty, there must be great mental and physical suf- I ;tiring throughout the respectable part of the town population. In the general disfranchisement indicated there is reason for increased political discontent. It is already a subject of complaint, amounting almost to resistance to the law, that only a small part of the people are enfranchised, and the unenfranchised part is- daily swelling by the inevitable effects of increasing poverty. Property may be gathered into fewer hands ; political power, constituting the Legislature, may be restricted to a narrower and narrower circle ; but property itself will not add to its security by increasing the number and aggravating the animosity of its opponents. To see the power of legislation separating itself more and more from the multitude, while their incessant prayer is to have it extended to them, bodes an alarm-, ing increase of those hostile feelings between classes which already dislocate society. .To revert rather to the economical than the poli-; tical bearings of the pregnant passage of the Tory Journal, we must remind our readers that the short passage we have quoted from the Sanatory Report, as well as other facts we have lately placed before them from the same work, shows that already the bulk of our population are living in a sad state of both physical and mental degradation. Although this Re port is not so well dressed up for effect as, the Report 'on Mines by aspirant Commissioners it is calculated to startle • and deeply im press the public with a conviction that the condition of the bulk of the labouring classes, espe cially in all that concerns lodging, is at once pitiable , and degrading to them and disgraceful to the Legisla ture. But the paragraph of the Ilfanchester Chronicle is one proof among many that, subsequent to the period when some of the materials for the Sanatory Report were gathered, prior to 1842, the condition of the po pulation has been still further deteriorated. For four years at least it has been getting worse and worse, giving reason to fear, unless the downward progres s be arrested, that a permanent degradation in the con dition of the people will be the consequence. It is wisely ordained that man, as an animal, can accom modate himself to every climate, and to every variety of physical circumstance. If he he ground down therefore, to poverty and dirt, and made familiar with disease and loathsomeness, he will acquire suitable habits, and live amidst all that is filthy, disgusting . , and degrading. "From what I have observed," says the late Mr. Wal ker, as quoted in the Sanatory Report, " I am fully convinced that if shambles were built ou any spot, and all who chose were allowed to occupy them, they would soon be occupied by a lower race than any yet known. I. have often said that if empty casks were placed along the streets of Whitechapel, in a few days each of these would have a tenant, and those tenants would keep up their kind, and prey on the rest of the community. I am sure if such facilities were afforded there is no con ceivable degradation to which portions of the species might not be reduced. Allow these tub-men no educa don, and you have so many savages living in the midit of civilization." How far great masses of the cellar population, and the population dwelling in tens and scores in single rooms, are at present removed from the state of savages living in the midst of civilization, we will not decide ; but that they will become so if the present deteriorating influences and circumstances are con tinued, seems highly probable. Should any disturb ance call the energies of such persons into activity, England, even as she now is, will be surprised, as France was, at :the uncouth and hideous monsters which, at the period of the Revolution, seemed to spring from the earth, and all at once to assume the dominancy in society. To prevent the existence of savages in the midst of civilization, a responsibility not less than awful now lies on the Legislature. To cause such a population is a crime against society unsurpassed in the blackest annals of treason. The circumstance of the Chancellor of the Ex chequer having refused to give Lord CHELSEA the Chiltren Hundreds, failed to suggest to Lord PAL dERSTON the proper deduction from such a fact. He only thought of the influence which the Minister of the day might exercise over Members if he might re refuse at his pleasure, and of the refusal being a viola tion of a practice that had prevailed for nearly a century. From the statements on both sides, it is clear that a Member of the House •of Com mons cannot lay aside his office, nor can his constituents revoke their trust ; he can only cease to be a Member by disqualifying him self .to sit by the acceptance of some public office, which it is in the power of the Minister to give or withhold. That is an improper arrangement. The parties who elect the trustee,' the constituency, should have power to withdraw their confidence ; and the party who accepts it should at any time have the power to resign it into their hands. If Lord PAL MERSTON had drawn that conclusion, and proposed to embody it into a law, we should have inferred that he had made a proper use of the circumstance, as to the impossibility of a Member vacating his seat,' , kw the constituency withdrawing their confidence, which the refusal of the Chancellor of the Exchequer has made apparent. We would recommend his Lordship to look at this. question on principle, and then he may rescue the Members of the House of Commons from the caprice and: control of the Minis ter of the day, when they desire to retire from the onerous duties of legislation; and enable every con itituency to revoke that trust, which many Mem bers seek and accept only to abuse. We direct the attention of our, readers to the ques tion of Lord PALMERSTON, and the 'answer of Sir R. PEEL, relative to the war in India,/which appears in our Parliamentary Report. It is/useless to reprint, the conversation here, and it is too important to allow of abridgment or paraphrase. Extracts from New York Papers, received to the [9th, will be found in another part of The Sun. We leeply regret to have to state, that no real progress has been yet made in the settlement of the Boundary luestion. In fact, we are assured by a private letter, from a well-informed correspondent, that there is not `he least likelihood of the success of Lord Asu- BURTON'S mission. There is some prospect of a war between Mexico and the United States, the Mexican Minister for Foreign Affairs having addressed two imperative and Insolent notes to the United States' Ambassador, galling upon his Government to repress the move :nents of the sympathisers in favour of Texas, and threatening to 'ward non-compliance as a declaration ar. DANIEL WEBSTER, on the 15th ult., for warded the following answer to the Mexican Gc vernment:— On the receipt of this, you will write a note to Mr. de Bocanegra, in which you will say :—That the Se cretary- of State of the United States, on the 9th of July, received his letter of the 31st of May ; that the President of the United States considers the language and tone of that letter derogatory to the cha racter of the United States, and highly offensive, as it imputes to their Government a direct breach of faith ; and that he directs that no other an iwer be given to it than the declaration that the conduci; of the Government of the United States in regard to the war between Mexico and Texas, having been always hitherto governed by a strict and impartial regard to its neutral obligations, will not be changed or altered in any respect or in any degree. If for this the Government of Mexico shall see fit to change the relations at present existing between the two countries, the responsibility remains with herself. Every arrival from Greece brings us accounts of the deplorable condition to which King OTHO'S mis government is reducing that fine country. One writer states positively that the Greeks are, physically speak ing, more miserable at this moment than they were while prostrate beneath the despotic hoof of Turkey. We question whether the narratives of any of the many English travellers who wandered over Greece ;previous to the revolution presents a more striking pic ture of general misery and universal misgovernment than the following extract of a letter front Athens, dated the 21st ult., to which we invite the attention of the Government and people of this country : The most horrible tyranny is exercised in all the pro vinces to get in the arrears of past years, and the ill placed indulgence allowed to the state debtors, for politi cal purposes, is now found to be an evil and a serious one, for they are no longer able to pay as they would have been, had the amounts been claimed at the proper time, when the country was in a much more favourable condition than it is at present. how, small debtors of 10 , and 20 francs have one or two soldiers sent to live at free I quarters, and to eat. up all their substance. Others, who have paid and hold the receipts of the fiscal agents, are dragged to prison, to compel them to repayment, be. cause the agent has not made entry in his books. The oppression is so great in the mode of levying the tithe or land-tax, that the extent of corn crops is less than it used ' to he ; and I have the assurance of intelligent travellers through the provinces of Messenia, Elis, and Tryphilia that the peasant, by the abuse of power of the. tithe-collector and the commercial authorities, is plutidered of one- - • 4 . 0 0. „ . i. 4 ftu, A i* • N t! '4, t. vittfltL LONDON: TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 9, 1842. The following brief, but important article, is copied from the Manchester Chronicle, a Tory paper. It is not liable, therefore, to the suspicion of having been concocted by the Anti-Corn-law League, or any Radical Association, to serve, as the Tories. say, a factious and dishonest purpose CONSTITUENCY OF AfAN'CIIESTE R.—Th num ber of voters in the borough of Manchester for the pre. sent year, still but little, if any, exceed 9,000, whilst the numbers on the list for 1841 exceeded 10,000. This decrease is no doubt attributable to the distressing CAM s, by which many have been rendered unable to pay. thei r rates, The number of removals has also, no doubt frola the same cause, greatly increased. :We beseech our readers to run over in their minds the many miseries to which that statement is an index. In a healthy state of society, and in a col-n -um nity so. flourishing as Manchester erewhile was, evietev year should witness a considerable increase in co mtbrtably-lodged householders, and consequently in vc.ters. The actual decrease does not, therefore, give a. complete idea of the deterioration of the condition oi the people, unless the probable increase, during a prosperous condition, be taken into consideration. In , ludingi that, we may infer, that during the last year, one-ninth, at least, of the respectable portion of the inhabitants of Manchester have become degraded, have been unable to pay their rates, and have lost that franehiie which is the security for the political right.; of every citizen. Many of them have been e:empelled, instead of rising to more spacious houses and better accommodation, to fall back into crowded dwellings of this description. "I have met," says Mr. lliddal Wood, as quoted in the Report on the sanatory condition of the labouring population," with upwards of forty persons sleeping in the, same room, married and single, including of coin se children, and several young adult persons of both sexes. In Manchester I could enumerate a variety of instances in which J found much promiscuous mixture of the sexes i Z the sleeping rooms. I may mention one :—A man, i‘ife, and child sleeping in one bed, in another bed o k,roWn up females, and in the same room two young nit to unmarried. I have met with instances of a maw, I,i .ivife, and wife's sister sleeping in the same bed to then I. hive known at least half a dozen cases in aiichester in which that has been regularly practisei', th t unmarried sister being an adult." In a town where such practices are common, lead ing. - to what the Rev. Dr. GILLY denominates " un ut!;erablc horrors," we find that a large portion of the reF9 actable population, and of course a still larger pom,ion of the population below them, have been in the , last year degraded and reduced to take up with we') se accomodation. taking no attempt to conjecture what may be the feel ings and the sufferings of the larger and humbler poor Lion of the population, can there he a doubt that tic arty every One of the disfranchised voters, particu la fly at a time when a vote is highly prized, must ha .re felt a keen pang at losing his franchise? The its ability tc: pgy rates is, in truth, an indication of ex te nrive mental suffering, as well as much physical pi illation. The individual has a sense of degradation ; he is no longer equal to his fellows ; he has ceased alx lost to be a free man ; he has no part in making rh ,se' aws which bind him hand and foot, and if he not any sense of the dignity of a voter, and the :,gradation which has fallen on him, the Legislature o 441 engage in no better work than to implant such fi .elings, inspiring noble conduct, in his mind. But he .is them ; he makes great exertions and submits to great privations that he may be equal to others ; and the dis,cranehisement will be a great suffering to one ninth of the respectable population of Manchester. WhataiOessuelr a circumstance betoken as to phy iea diseira nfbrt ? Before the electors of Manchester, ad) .) are me n of spirit, gave up their franchise, we are slau .e that tliey submitted to many privations and nli Itard,4ps. They kept away from the tavern tzO 1 the publican, the distiller, the brewer, the news pi Per proprich ir, all of whom, to some extent, the .blican ceased to employ, experienced a diminution eif their income. They forbore to have new clothes, ujd the tailors lost eustorn. To have new furniture, while they could not pay rates or get clothes, was itn )ossible; anrl 'cabinet -makers were obliged to stand die: Their'wiVes could not go to the drapers and the crocors so ot t,n a s f ormes , y and slaopkeepers, as we ;no w has boen tho case, became distressed, insolvent, rd disfrairchisea.' Not to trece the extensive ramifi e. 1 :4 ()Irv& the fact we, have quoted, more minute! y,.we avr i t said enough to show that it tOounds in evidence 'cif ei :tensive mental and physical "sinTering. What is - t!ets mad e palp a bl e a s ; to Manehestac is equally t rue q-f to cast of the other la,rge towns, aura Stilt su e l t 'an THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY third his prochice, instead of paying one-tenth as the law requires. I'ean answer for the truth of this aSsertion,- from personal observation. The shepherds, toe, are the objects of special persecution. The pasturage tax, which in Capo d'lstria's time was 10 lepta a head, is now 36 lepta ; to this must he added 7 lepta communal Aim,: 4 lepta duty on wool, together 46 lepta, besides day. on his cheese and butter,; altogether the poor shepherd pays annually, 1 drachma, or near 9d. sterling per sheep, and very often, when payment is enforced, kis flock is sold, and barely fetches that amount a head. The discontent arising from these , oppres sions is great, and the destitution of a great part of the peasantry is such that we may anticipate troubles ere long ' - for men must have bread. M. Monastiriottis, the Governor of Sparta, reported to his superior, the Home Minister, that thousands of families in Sparta were starving for bread, and that unless a quantity of food were provided, they would arm, and provide themselves with the means of subsist ence in the neighbouring provinces. For three months a deaf ear was turned to these representations ; and it was only when the threats were about to be carried into effect that a miserable supply of had wheat and maize was doled out. The Government neglect everything. In Mainor and at Calamata misery has caused numbers to be attacked with leprosy, and the disease is conta gious in the highest degree ; yet the Government allow the poor wretches to wander about, and provide no hos pital or lazaretto for them. At Chiarenza the brave Suliots and Chimariots, after great difficulty, offered un asylum by the Greek Government ; and sonic 150 of the families of these warriors went there, and, after infinite delays, at last the Government built them huts, and en gaged them lands and the means of subsistence. myself saw these huts the other day falling into ruin, only three being occupied ; and, ou inquiring what had be come of the families, I was told they had nearly all died of starvation, and the remainder had fled. At Catochi, near Missolonghi, some hundreds of individuals, belong , ing to the families of the deserters, are held in banish meat from their homes, without shelter, without food, and scores of miles from any one who feels an interest in them, to compel the deserters to return. Can any thing be so iniquitous as this system ? The share which England has had in placing OTHO on the Throne of Greece will surely justify any interference on the part of Lord ABERDEEN, which may have the effect of relieving Greece from this system of tyranny. We cannot say that remon strances have not already been addressed, on the part of the Noble Foreign Secretary, to the Greek Go vernment; but if not, we entreat Sir ROBERT PEEL to lose no time in recommending it. Among the British residents in Athens a general belief prevails that King' OTHO is encouraged in the fatal policy which he is pursuing by France. This appears to us very improbable. We cannot discover any benefit that France could derive from a civil war in Greece—and a civil war will undoubt edly result from a perseverance in the present policy of the Greek Government. Were Russia to support the mal-administration of King OTHO, her motives would be intelligible enough ; but what in the world can France gain by plunging Greece into all the hor rors of civil war ? The non. Member for Greenock has refused to act as an Income-tax Commissioner. True to the declaration which he made in the House of Commons, when this unjust, inquisitorial, and tyrannical mea sure was before it, he will in no way assist in inflicting it upon his countrymen. We trust he will have many imitators. No one opposed to the tax can be blamed, even by the Government, for refusing to have any thing to do with its collection. The following is the letter in which Mr. WALLACE communicates to the Clerk of Supply fOr the county of Renfrew his refusal to act as an Income-tax Inquisitor under the auspices of a Tory Chancellor of the Exchequer : Kelly, truly 26,.1542. DEAR have received your 'letter of the 20th, informing me of my being chosen a Commissioner to carry into effect the Act commonly called the Property 7 tax Act ; but the proper name of which is, the Income tax Act. As I consider the tax as an unconstitutional, tyrannical, and unjust one, I will take no part v%hatever in its administration. Were Itodo so I should consider myself as no less degraded than I look upon the law it self which inflicts it as disgraceful in a country of free men. You mill, therefore, have the goodness to intimate my determination to those it concerns in the Upper 'and Under Ward of the county, by laying this letter before them. • I remain your obedient servant, ROBERT WALLACE.

In con sequence of the alarm expressed by the neighbour hood and the pew renters, as to the present safety of the church, the services ha►e been suspended until further notice, the duration of which, however, will not be 'affected by the repairs which the spire will have to undergo.

It is the intention of some of the banking firms of the metropolis, and we are told of a few of the leading mercantile houses, to relieve their emplves from the pressure of the Income-tax, by paying the amounts due when the salary is at or over 150/. This praiseworthy example has been set by the banking firms of Messrs. Labuuchere and Co., Messrs.,lioare and Barnetts, Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Smiths, &c. ; and we hope it will be generally followed by all the wealthy establish tnents in the country, to whom the payment will be light as compared with the deductions, if made from the salaries Of those in their employ, and to whose unwearied And anxious labours the principals are mainly indebted for the realization of wealth.7-Sunday Paper.

After some verbal controversy, Feargus jumped. from , 111.3 Waggon, encouraged a lot of his " Lambs" to follow' him, and played away at all before him ! Whether Mr. Joseph Sturgo took his share in the mill, or satisfied himself with merely giving his friends the respectability of his coun tenance, does not appear. He appears to have been discoursing with the heroes all round before the on slaught, and there we lose sight of him."—Times of Saturday. List, Gentles, while in warlike verse The deeds of valour I rehearse, Achieved with wondrous honour, prc-senee of his Chartist band, By Feargus of the iron hand, Whose sirname is O'Connor. When blythe Aurora showed her face, In Nottingham's broad market-place, On Thursday morning last, Two rival waggons there were seen, Filled each with foes of fiercest mien, Whose fists were doubled all, 1 ween, And brows with frowns o'ereast: One wain owned Stephens as its head, The other was by Feargus led— Feargus, whose boast it was to urge His " Lambs" to bleat for Joseph Sturge, And brave the hazard of a fight Against each Tory Stephenite ! • While face to face these waggons stood, Each deepening in its wrathful mood, Forth came, with meek salaams, The broad-brimmed Joseph, primly dressed, In modest, staid, drab coloured vest, Who thus in placid tones addressed Grim Feargus and his Lambs : " What, Ho ! you youthful Muttons, Ho ! " I am a man of peace, you know, " And therefore warn you not to go " And launch your brick-bats at the foe ; " Don't drag the rarson to the pump, • " Or floor him with a cabbage stump ; "Pont' use your cudgels, which, I see, " You handle with exceeding glee, " And which, I must confess, alack " Can hit a man a tidy crack ; " Don't flare-up, like the fabled dragon, " And pitch into yon rival waggon ; " For virtuous 'tis to act in quiet, " But naughty to kick up a riot."— - He ceased, and while loud cheers arose, Clapped his forefinger to his nose " Gramercy ! Well I understand, Oh drab-breeched Joe, thy shrewd command," Quoth Feargus of the iron hand ; Then shouting, as he sought the foe, - " A Feargus to the Rescue, Ho I" The warrior, with huge satisfaction, Led forth his darling Lambs to action 1 The foemen meet I They thump—they thwack— Hark, burst their braces on their back ! And hark, their sculls in concert crack'. And hark, their cudgels clatter, whack ! Stones, cabbage-stumps, and turnip-tops, Fly swiftly, hitting precious whops ; Dead cats by dozens join the mill, And rotten eggs by scores, but still Undaunted by such shocks, Brave Feargus heads his Chartist clan, And every minute floors his man, As butcher floors an ox ! -41,‘ First, Stephens felt his right arm's pith, And next; six men whose names were Smith, And three whose names were Brown ; A small attorney's clerk, one baker, Three butchers, and an undertaker, The landlord of the Crown, A Snip, a milkman with his can, And one enormous Alderman— All these were floored by Feargus, who Split each man's knowledge-box in two!

The Morning Chronicle alludes to the forthcoming in tention of the Earl of _Fort,sene to call the notice of the Hou-& to the late trials for Ribh,mism at the late Armagh io;siz,-, thus :—" Well might Lord Eliot condemn the proc, di.!gs disclosed in evidence on trials at Armagh. We have no recollection of anything equally revolting ii:t‘Thg ever transpired in a Court of Justice. By their own Si!count, Htqian and Cox exerted all their poivers of seduction to induce men to become Ribbonmen, and they were commissioned by the Magistracy to enter on this nefarious trade. Strangely constituted must that man's mind he who can think of justifying the course pursued : on thiS occasion. It is in utter perversion of the Magis terial hi - notions to commission. men to provoke to the commission of crime. To hold out inducements to the guilty to betray each other, and to employ men to worm themselves into the confidence of men who entertain designs against the well-being of society are quite distinct from the pr.;ctices disclosed at Armagh. Who shall say what etlect the proclamations issued by the approvers, and the speeches made by them, may have had in seducing innocent men from the path of duty ! Magistrates are appointed to discover and repress crime, but not to create it. The Post proposes and answers the following ques tion :—" What has been done for Conservatism in the Parliamentary session which is now virtually at an end ? We own that we cannot suggest a satisfactory answer to this question. We fear that there is no rational English politician who feels himself at this moment standing upon firmer. ground than he stood upon this time twelvemonths. We fear that there is now even less certainty in the minds of men than there then was, us to the permanence of existing interests and orders of society. We fear that there is more apprehension of continued struggle and strife, leading to some undefined new state of affairs, than there was a year ago. We cheerfully grant to the present servants of the Crown the merit of one good Conservative deed, namely, that of putting the sources of revenue upon an equality with the sources of expen diture. The neglect of this was one of the most mon strous of the Whig faults. But even in the mode of doing this we recognise rather the boldness of a man who had r the courage to carry out Whig principles, which the Whigs themselves had not, than the advancement of Conservatism. In allusion to the recent Nottingham election, the Herald remarks:—" The return of Mr. Walter, at this juncture, demonstrates that Sir John Hobhouse does not represent the political opinions of the majority of the Nottingham electors, but that he sits in Parliament as Member for that borough by grace of the money spent and the debts contracted at the last general election by the agents of himself and Sir G. Larpent. Not all the ingenuity of his friend Mr. Wakefield can extricate him from this dilemma. But thiS display . of Conservative strength at Nottingham is useful, principally for the use to which it can be applied, whensoever Sir John Hob house presents himself for re-election there. The 1,799 electors who have returned Mr. Walter to Parliament can defeat Sir John Hobhouse ; and though the return of the former be the legitimate object of Conservative triumph, the defeat of the latter would be one of the greatest elec tioneering exploits that the Nottingham Conservatives could achieve; let them then, in this their hour of suc cess, commence to prepare for the great victory which is hereafter to be gained. The Times, in commenting upon the result of the election at Nottingham, says :—" The supporters of Mr. Sturge may be much belied -by public rumour ; but cer tainly the world does not scruple to charge them with a recourse to bribery as gross as the violence they com mitted. The world does not scruple to assert, wherever i got its information, that a sum of something like four, thousand pounds has been expended in the old con trivances of bribery, cooping, an,l intimidation ; and the world does not scruple to connect these practices with the great patrons of Mr. Sturge—the Anti-Corn-law League. The hired mobs, which were collected in the surrounding villages, marched into the town, and employed through the night in patrolling the streets, to the intimidation of all well-disposed persons ; the funds subscribed by rich and ambitious agitators, or extracted in copper by itine rant lecturers from audiences just sufficiently educated to be seditious—all these means and appliances have formed the strength of that pacifie Radical whose defeat we are called upon to commemorate. Mr. Walter and his friends, with a scrupulous abstinence from anything that even Mr. Patrick Maxwell Stewart could torture intoillegality, with no other aid than the known character of the candidate, and the good wishes of all honest men, have succeeded in signally defeating these unscrupulous efforts."

The Montrose Medtterrancan steamer arrived at Southampton on Saturday, and brings the extraordinary intelligence that Spain has declared war against Por tugal. The Spanish troops are already assembling in large numbers on the frontier, and particularly in the vicinity of Braganza, at which point, it is said, hostilities will commence between the two countries. The Barcelona journals of the 31st ult. had been re ceived at Paris. They state that a sanguinary quarrel had taken place at Mataru between a Spanish patrol and some British seamen who landed in that port. One of the sailors received a bayonet wound, and the others were obliged to take refuge on board their ship. PARLIAMENTAILY. _ The Lords read the Newfoundland Bill a first time, and passed the Copyrights of Design, the Bribery at Elections, and the • East India Slavery Bibs through Committee. Earl Furtescue called the attention of the Peers to the spy system lately revited in Ireland, and mentioned the extraordinary fact, that the number of twelve classes of crimes, including homicides, was, in the first half of the year 1841. 651, while in the hawr half of that year the number was 2,449, and in the first half of 1842 It was 3,551. This is Tory rule. The Noble Lord justly cou demned the conduct of the Magistrates in employing spies to foster crime, and the conduct of the Chief Justice, who had displayed more of the zeal of the partizan than the impartiality of the Judge. The Duke of Wellington feebly defended the Judge,spok e with just reprobation of the conduct of Hagan, and at tributed some of the increase of persons taken up in 1842 to the increased vigilance of the constabulary. The Earl of Glengall insisted that all these latter crimes were the results of the seeds of sedition, which had been previously watt). The papers Lord Fortescue moved for were ordered. On the motion of the Lord Chancellor, the Marriages (Ireland) Bill, which was brought in at au early period of the session, and suspended, because a case was likely to come before their Lordships on appeal, was read a second time. The Noble Lord explained that the ex pected case would not come in time before their- Lord ships, and the Bill was required. On the motion to commit the Bill to-day, Lord Campbell opposed the 'notion, and said that Bill would cause consternation in Ireland, and that a Decla ratory Act ought to be passed. The Bill, after a short conversation, was ordered to be com mi t t ed to - day , and at Eight o'Clock the House adjourned. The Commons met at Twelve, and passed the New foundland Bill, after a division agairst it, called for by Mr. P. Howard. Mr. Walter took his seat for Nottingham. The Bankrupt Bill was further discussed at consider able length in Committee, and the remaining clauses passed after se7eral divisions. The Report is to be re ceived to-clay. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, in reply to a ques tion, said his interpretation of the Income-tax Act was, that the tax would be payable on dividends on foreign funds pay:Able in this country, but if the parties resided out of the country the tax would not be levied. The Report of the Boroughs Incorporation Bill was brought up, and Sir .Tames Graham was conadlimented for his exertions in settling the dispute between the ex officials of the new boroughs and the Corporations. The standing orders were suspended, and the Bill was passed through all its stages. Lord Palmerston put a question to Sir Robert Peel about withdrawing our troops from the west of the Indus, which the Right Honourable Baronet declined to answer precisely. Mr. Lefroy moved a n”w writ for Ipswich. ph. T. I)uncombe explained the grounds why he should oppose the motion, and why lie should move for leave to bring in a Bill to disfranchise Arthur Bott Cook, and others. The lion. Member moved for leave.

The inquest upon the body of the late Mr. Augustine Byrne, so long pending at Rathmines, has at length ter minated. The Jury returned a verdict finding " that the said Mr. Augu tine Byrne met with his death under very mysterious circumstances. and that the strongest possible suspicions attach to Mrs. Ellen Byrne, wife of said Augustine Byrne, of said house, of being accessory thereto." Mrs. Byrne has been committed, and heavy bail will be required of her. The several witnesses were bot•;nd over to prosecute. • The case of the Rev. Stephen Aldhouse, charged with bigamy, and remanded from last Wednesday at the Wandsworth police-office, was again brought before the Court on Saturday, and after the deposition of his second wife had been taken, he was remanded till Tuesday week.

Letters from the manufacturing towns which have been delivered, give the same cheering accounts of the 'improvement in trade as those of last week. It is not pretended that any brisk demand fur goods exists, but rather that the extreme depression is passed, and that " the tide has turned." The India mail has apparently brought over several orders for cotton, and it is noticed at Manchester that an advance in prices has been pretty generally obtained while buyers have come forward Inure freely: It is, however, added that a far greater chani,oe must take place before any permanent relief to the distress of the labourers can be looked for. Such merchants as are unfortunate enough to have taken any of the bills drawn by Colonel Gawler upon the Treasury, are greatly complaining of the vexatious regulations regarding them, now that it has been deter mined that they shad be paid. Nearly twelire months have elapsed since they became due, and payment re fused upon the plea that instructions had been exceeded ; and notwithstanding the serious annoyance, and JOSS consequent upon the high rate of interest in south Aus tralia, no more than die bare principal is to be re funned, though in many cases the interest will amount to upwards of 10 per cent.

This rapacity for, repetition was most ill-judged, aP,' some future correction should be found for it. SURREY THEATRE. A new opera entitled Little Red Riding Hood was ere' duced at this theatre last evening with the most decided- suc cess. • It is a thoroughly English opera in every sense of the word. The story is English, the singers are English, and the music is the composition of an English lady, Mrs. G. a'Beckett. The old nursery tale has been skilfully adapted to the stage . The wolf becomes in the opera a certain Lord de Bracy (M Leper), who is in possession of a magic ring, the sight which so bewitches every woman who beholds it that she im mediately becomes desperately in love with its possessor. 11e tries its powers on Rose (Miss Romer), the beauty of the Ili" lage, but the magic nag has no power over her, for she ens' sesses a certain little red riding hood, which has been bleseed by a holy hermit, and which protects her against all the charm' of witchrcaft. She is beloved by Lord Edgar Elpingham (M r. W. Harrison), between whom and De Bracy there hadlongbe en a feud. Elpingham,disguised as Nichol the Neat-herd.hae won the heart of Rose, who is unaware of the noble extraction of her lover ; De Bracy, who attempts to waylay her in the forest. is met by Elpingham, and as they are about to decide their diffe d " rences at the sword's rant, a venerable hermit interposes, an tells Elpingham that Rose must be De Bract's before she can be his. De Bracy glorying in his antici. ated triumph, g oes to the hermit's cell, and, disguised as the hermit, meets li°t' who, fancying she is safe with the hermit, throws off her riding hood, and immediately becomes exposed to the magic influen!' of the .ring. De Bracy, however, discovers by eer tal !', papers, which he finds in the hermit's cave, that Roe the daughter of Edith, his sister, who had been secretil married—acknowledges her as his niece, and gives" her in marriage to Lord Edgar, and thus all endi haplAY.: It is something almost unprecedented in the annals of mut for a lady to undertake the composition of an opera. The 131 ' of her having done so shows so great a love of the a r t as altne s • to disarm criticism. But Mrs. a'Beekett stands in need ,, such excuses. True, the music of Little Red Riding Ile': like the music of all young composers, exhibits occasi ona o lr tendency to imitation, but this tendency is not more remaike h ' e t in Little Red Riding Hood than it is in the earlier opera' til Rossini, and of almost all our great composers. In fact, urn at a composer has estsblisbed a name and fame, he fears to i re himself to give the rein to his genius. This ispreci, , ely the ea; with Mrs. a'Beckett. She has genius, she has science. she ~I *s originality ; she has hardly yet faith in her own genius. Rl', that will come. The ope, aof Little Red Riding Ifoed iS la! itself an opera of great merit, and contains more really beau fur passages than any new opera that has been produced - t many a long day ; but it is not se much on ac ro b a t of its own intrinsic merit—though we repeat that t“ t is very great—that we regard it with interest, as on not, of the promise which it holds forth for future excell e , ( l „'jiy A rondo in the first act, " Wherefore Maiden," was bout"' ill ' sung by Miss Romer, and rapturously encored. The ide a .„) the air was taken from Bellini, but by her skilful and arti' t „ lc ,, management of it, Mrs. a'Beckett made it completely her °I - s The song " Farewell dear scenes," in the second act. t beautiful. melody. Harrison's voice has scarcely suffio"at compass to do it full justice ; he, however, sung it with P r i f i ," o taste, and was rewarded by a loud call for its repetition. by third act opens with a beautiful ballad, beautifully , snn . ,g t he Leffler, " When memory through the mist of tears, ah°,,,s opera concludes with a grand finale, " When the hountorr, heart," by Miss Ramer and the chorus. This is a most evil,. site more au, and was splendidly given by Miss Rotol o , After the fall of the curtain, the audience : bs sisted upon its repetition, and •it was received A t second time with even greater enthusiasm than the first .ti ',; s the fall of the curtain the opera was announced for /Tr", t he every evening, with the unanimous concurrence of one t he most crowded audiences ever assembled within the walls 0i,t41. Surrey. We sincerely congratulate Mrs. a'Becket on " it , well-earned triumph. The opera was got up wi h all that, tention to the business of the stage for which this theatre O a , celebrated. It will doubtless have a run. A new piec e ' D titled Memoirs of the D-1, was produced after the opera. Ase is an adaptation from the French, and the hero turns out ti?,..5 the limiest clerk of a dishonest lawyer, a character well 511.'_% to play the d—l with the rascals who have been his maste.la clients. If this piece were cut down into two acts, it sv_li act touch better; it is not deficient in paint, but, as at pr7 t h acted, is somewhat heavy. The performances concluded w:116 the Artful Dodge, in which Wild and Miss E. Terry keot,!to audience in a constant roar. The house was crarnsne suffocation.
