The phrase " bribery at elections " is now respected for its antiquity, and has obtained favour from the Tories, no doubt, from being part and parcel of the wisdom of our ancestors. A contest for a borough where these venerable, though generally poor gentlemen, called " old freemen," have votes, cannot take place without money passing from the pockets of the candi dates into those of the "calumniated " electors, with as much certainty as the electric fluid passes from one body to another by the slightest contact. In fact, they look upon the change of ownership as a general law of nature, which neither Commons nor Lords have any right to interfere with, and they are not a little confirmed in this belief by the chivalrous defence made for thorn on the discussion of the Reform Bill, not by Sir ROBERT PEEL or Sir CHARLES WETHERELL only, but by one of the most Radical Members in the House of Commons. When two extremes meet, and agree that the old free men are all honourable men, why should they change a practice which works so well, which only takes a little money from those who have too much, and transfers it but once in three years to hard-working men, with in dustrious wives and large families of starving children. really too bad for these niggardly, political-econo mical Whigs to be railing against a custom so beneficial to the poorer classes, and so very convenient also to gen tlemen of independent fortune, to rising Barristers, Peers' sons, place-hunters as well as pension -hunters, and to those Honourable Members of the House who throw self-interest to the wind, and give their votes only for the good of the public. Would it not, therefore, be better to legalise at once this venerable practice ? Endless attempts to put it down have been made, but without effect ; for, according to speeches in the House of Commons, it is extending in every direction. Freemen say, a present at an election is their birth-right ; 101. voters say it is all but granted to them by Parliament, for the majority are the friends of the freemen ; voters worth hundreds a year are subject to the contagion in one shape or another, and many with thousands a year sell their votes, if not for money, for something better. Members on Election Committees are irerciful in the extreme to the accused ; jurymen, too, are lenient; and even official dignitaries, such as the Mayor of St. Alban's, look upon bribery, as a matter of course. The feeling in its favour somewhat resemble: that which pervaded the minds of humane jurymen when they preferred mercy to law, and by acquitting the accused, though conscious of their guilt, compelled the Legislature to mitigate the criminal code. We refer the reader for further information on the subject to the trial which took place at Hertford yesterday. It is full of amuse ment, and not destitute of instruction. The verdict of the Jury was perfectly just, whatever might have been the force of evidence against the defendant, and for this good reason—that more than one half of the Member: of one House are returned by bribery. The average price of each borough is as well known as the price of any commodity in our markets, and it is therefore absurd to obey laws which the lawgivers them selves treat as old almanacs. Bribery cannot be put down till our legislators, as well as other men in high rank, set the example, and refrain not only from bribing the poor, but from taking bribes themselves from the Government in fifty shapes. Mr. FRENCII'S motion in the House of Commons on the Irish Railway Question has been productive of one great advantage—the removal of all doubt as to the in tentions of the Government. The Tories adhere to their Old policy of doing nothing for Ireland. This is a state ment which we no longer make on the authority of DANIEL 07CONSI ELL and the Corn Exchange orators. It is a fact deducible from the speeches made by Lord ELIOT and Sir ROBERT PEEL in the House of Commons last night. The greatest boon which the Go vernment could give to Ireland would be lines of railways intersecting that fine country, and that boon the Minis try point blank refuses. Lord ELIOT, for example, said : He would not shelter himself by saying that the Govern ment had the measure under consideration—( Hear)—nor raise illusory expections.—( Hear. ) But he thought it right to say that the Government would not make any advance of public money, or give the guarantee which was proposed by the Gen tioinan wise hid last addressed the House. There were, how ever, other modes of facilitating and assisting railway enterprise, which the Commissioners pointed out, and which the Govern ment thought it would be proper to adopt. The Commissioners recommended the Legislature to assist any body of capitalists that might come together for the purpose of promoting rail ways in Ireland, by relieving them from unnecessary liabi lities, and by establishing one fixed and uniform system of compensation, with less regard to the extravagant demands of private interest than had prevailed in this country, and facili tate the Parliamentary proceedings with the least possible expense ; that they should also be protects(' from the ruinous competition of rival companies. To that extent the Gov, rn ment was disposed to assist.—( Hear. ) We know enough of Ireland to be able to lay down two propositions as corollaries to Lord ELIoT'S state ment of the intentions of the Government. The first is, that without Government aid, Ireland never will be intersected with railways, and consequently never can have her vast - resources developed, and her social and moral condition greatly and permanently ameliorated. The second, in a political point of view, may appear still more important to the people of this country ; namely, that it is only by intersecting Ireland with - rail ways, and facilitating the intercourse between the • two countries, that their union as one nation ever can be entirely consolidated. A line of railway undertaken by the Government between Dublin, and any port on the west coast of Ireland, would do more to put down the repeal cry titan five thousand penal statutes enforced by the whole British army. Besides there is not the shadow of a pretence for supposing that one farthing of the expense would fall upon England or Scotland. The whole could be easily defrayed by tolls upon the different lines, and a mileage rate upon the several counties intersected by them. It is not a little curious to hear Lord ELIOT ob jecting to such a rate, on the ground that it would fail exclusively upon the tenants and not upon their land lords. In their debates upon the Corn-laws, the Tory landlords contended that the country rate, or cess, was a charge paid exclusively by them. It now appears by the admission of a Member of the Government that they do not pay a fraction of this tax. Lord ELIOT said : The whole of the county cess was defrayed by the occupying tenantry. He knew not what arrangement it might be pro posed to make on this subject between the owners and occu piers of land ; but, unless some arrangement were made, the whole expense would lull upon the occupier, who would derive little or no advantage from the railway. The law could easily be so framed as to compel the landlord to bear his proper proportion of the railway tax. Nor would the occupier of the land grudge the pay ment of a ,rate which would secure to him a safe and expeditious transit for his produce to the best markets its the kingdom. We are therefore fully convinced that Lord MoRPETH'S plan for snaking raillyays in Ireland was practical, and the principles upon which it was based were comprehensive and statesmanlike. The National Debt is nothing in amount, however, tothe debt of gratitude which the Irish landlords owe • to Sir ROBERT PEEL. While the Governments of France, Belgium, Austria, Prussia, and even Russia, are declaring to the world that railways are undertakings too vast for private enterprise, and of too much national importance to be in any way regulated by individual ca price, Sir Roamer PEEL, with an urbanity of manner worthy of the Master of the Ceremonies at th•• Court of Pekin, tells the House of Commons that lie really believes the construction of railways in Ireland will be best left to the patriotic enterprise of Irish land lords ! The bitterness of this irony will be felt in Ireland. To the injustice of refusing to Ireland the only means of removing the mass of misery under which she now groans, is added an insulting allusion to the po verty and recklessness of her spendthrift landlords, which will long rankle in her breast. Sir ROBERT said : He declared most sincerely that if he thought mush an ex penditure (a loan of six or seven millions) could be encoun tered with profit—if he really did believe that the undertaking by the Government to make 540 . miles of . railway s i n I re l an d would be for the permanent and real advantage of Ireland, many of bis scruples would be thereby removed ; but he be lieved it would be for the real interest of that country that Irish Gentlemen should act on the principle which had been attended with such satisfactory consequences in England—( Hear, hear) • -- , ,--;eee.that it would be infinitely better if th e y were- undertake n by •-• speculation. ,The reference tothe example of England, which, its an entrinditnre of sixty millions in the construction of rail siverisoould afford, as Mr. FRENCH showed, to throw away ten millions in useless Parliamentary and law ex penses, could only be intended as an insult in talking of so poor a country as Ireland. However, the question is too important to this country in a commercial, no less than a political point of view, to be thus summarily disposed of. It is the duty of all who take an interest in the prosperity of Ireland to unite in compelling the Government to adopt a policy towards the sister kingdom essential to the happiness of her people, and the consolidation of the English and Irish nation. We have deemed the discussions in the French Cham ber of Deputies on the Right of Search question, the Spanish question, and the Bank of Rouen, of sufficient English interest to insert them in our columns. It will be seen that M. GUIZOT denies that the English Go vernment has been truly informed respecting the existence of a conspiracy in France to upset the established Government in Spain. This denial is couched in language which we regret to find M UIZOT employing;. It is the language of trickery :-Lid subterfuge. M. GUIZOT knows well that such a conspiracy does exist, and he has recourse to trickery to avoid saying directly that it does not, while he seeks such an inference to be drawn from his words. He knows, too, that the KING and Madame MUNOZ are at the bottom of it. But M. Gutzon' has recourse to the lying ecclesiastical distinction between the Minister and ,he man. As an individual, he knows the whole affair of the treason, but not in his official capacity, and there :ore, speaking in the Chamber as a Minister, he affects ignorance. Upon this point it is curious to read the Following extract from the Paris correspondence of a con temporary, written on Wednesday, after M. GUIZOT de livered himself of his speech in the Chamber of De puties : . _ . " In the mean time, recruiting is going forward in the depots of Spanish refugees in France among the subaltern officers of the Carlist party, a number of whom passed through Lyons on the 25th, corani Israel, proceeding towards the Spanish fron tier. Baron de Meer and General Berton are the prime movers of the attempt, which is to be made on the side of Catalonia. They both remained at Montauban for the purpose until the latter end of January, when, having completed the organization of their forces, they repaired to Toulouse. On the 21st of January they received considerable sums of money from various bankers of that city, and afterwards shifted their quarters to Perpignan, to be at hand to enter that principality on receipt of orders from Paris. " M. de Tinan, Aide-de-Camp of Marshal Soult, is still at Bourges. " A report having reached the ears of Queen Christina that the northern Sovereigns intended to stop the supplies which they have of late allowed to Don Carlos, her Majesty exclaimed We have him at last. We will take him by famine.' She immediately sent for Count Torreno, and it is said that it was agreed between him, King Louis Philippe, and the ex-Regent, to make an offer of succour to the captive Prince. This, it is further said, was the object of M. de Tinan's visit to Bourges. Fortunately, however, the report proved to be unfounded, and the mission of that officer proved useless. "'The greatest perplexity and confusion seem to prevail in the councils of the conspirators. The Carlists, who have en. lered it, propose a marriage between the Prince of the Asturias, and Queen Isabella ; some, however, anxious to save the prin ciple of legitimacy, object to her being considered a Queen, and will only recognise her as an Infanta of Spain. Count Torreno, who is an anti- Carlist, will listen to no union between the two braiches of the Spanish Royal family, and would pre fer a French or an Austrian prince. King Louis Philippe, on the other hand, is willing to forego his pretensions in favour of the Duke d'Aumale, provided he obtains for him the hand of Isabella's sister. The calculation of the King of French is this:— . . . ' The young Queen is in a delicate state of health, and not expected to live, while the Infanta enjoys robust health, and is likely to survive her sister.' " Impressed with this conviction, Louis Philippe would make a merit to England of accepting the candidate of her choice for the throne of Spain, well know ing that the Queen, once dead, her husband would have no claim in his own name, and that •the Duke d'Aumale would, in virtue of the Infanta's birth-right, find himself de facto King of the country. " The conspirators likewise disagree among themselves re specting the forre s of the future Government. The Carlists, and what is strange, the Christino Generals, who fought so tong for the constitution, recommended the establishment of absolute monarchy. Few advocate the cause of the constitu tion, but the majority seem to incline in favour of the estatu real, which has the advantage of being neither one thing nor the other." The President of the Council, Minister of War, has received the following telegraphic dispatch from the Governer-General of Algeria : " Tlemcen, I &h.—The great tribe of the Beni-Hamer, which brought 3,000 cavalry in the field, have just made its submission. It may be affirmed without presumption that all the western part of the province of Oran has submitted, with the exception of some small tribes of no importance.

The Overland letters, via Marseilles, will be dispatched this day, and we regret that better accounts cannot be forwarded to our Indian friends respecting the staff of trade here. Silks are improving, and perhaps this may be some little satisfaction . to them, while teas liear a higher value. For the more important East Indian staples, however, we cannot say as much, whether as regards sugars, indigo, or cotton, which are chiefly affected by the prevalent uncertainty in the alterations to be proposed in the import duties. A statement just completed, of the stock of Tea in London on the I,t inst., makes it 30,164,0201b5., while at this same date last year, we ha i 36 ,3U1,5391bs at our disposal. The imports have rather increased, but we must remember that last year they were limited. The home consumption in London alone, since the commencement of the present year, has been 4,252,176 lbs. - - - FOREIGN POSTAG E.—With the view to great( r facility of communication with Madeira and the Azores, the Post-office authorities have a d op t e d a new regulation, which came into operation yesterday, respecting the transmission, of the mails to those places. The West India Contract Packets are in future to touch at Madeira in their outward voyage, so thot letters intended to be delivered either there or at the Azores, will be forwarded by that conveyance, and not by the Brazil packets, as heretofore, unless specially marked to be sent by other channels. The mails will be made up on the Ist and 15th of every month. By this means it is considered that a more rapid and more certain communication will be established than could be obtained by adhering to the former mode of transit. DEATH OF THE TOWN CLERK OF THE CITY OF LONDON.—. The death of Mr. Woodthorpe, the Town Clerk of the City of London, occurred yesterday at two o'clock. He was for many years an efficient officer of the Corporation. THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING. MARCH 4,184 k. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Vttbitr ®titttton. " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. The French Government, by the mouth of M. Guizot, declared in the Chamber of Deputies, on Wednesday, that Sir Robert Peel has been misinformed respecting the existence of a Christino-Carlist conspiracy in France against the Regent of Spain. Permission had been . refused Cabrera to visit Paris. It is then true that he sought it The Presse states that Father Casares, a Spanish capuchin monk, who has been the originator of most of the reports recently spread, concerning a meditated attempt of Carlists and Christinos jointly against the present Government of Spain, and who has been disowned by the Carlists, was yesterday arrested at his residence in Paris ; and that papers found in his possession prove him to be a secret agent of Espartero. It has been calculated that, since 1830, the European Governments have expended in the organisation of fleets and armies upwards of twenty-two thousand millions of francs. In France, 14,012,000 men have been called out for military service from 1791 to 1842 inclusive. They are thus divided under the different Governments during that period :—Under the old monarchy, from 1791 to 1792, there were . 1,270,000 men. During the Assem blies from Bth March, 1703, to the 22d August in the same year, 5,992,000. Under the Directory, from 1798 to 1799 the number was 860,000. Under the Consulate, from 12th November, 1799, to 24th March, 1804, it was 443,000. Under the Empire of sth August, 1804, till 1814, it was 3,865,000. Under the Restoration, from 1818, to 28th July, 1830, it was 622,000. In fine, under the present Government, from 11th December, 1830, to 1842 inclusive, 960,000 men. It results from this, that the annual average of men called under arms, from 1791 to 1842 inclusive,-has been 300,000. At each new election since 1830 the number of De puties re-ziected has uniformly increased. In 1831, out of 427 Deputies in the preceding Chamber, 222 were again returned ; in 1834, out of 458, there were 292 ; in 1837, out of 459, there were 310 ; and in 1839, out of 457, there were 381. The official returns of the prices of wheat in the mar kets of France for the last month show the highest to have been 23f. 15c. per hectolitre at Mulhausen and Srasburg ; and the lowest 16f. 87c. at Saumur, Nantes, and Martins. The price of bread for the first fortnight of the pre sent month is fixed at 34 centimes the kilogramme. . During the last month 3,712,503 E were paid into the Paris Savings'Bank by 25,722 depositors, of whom 3,638 were new ; and 2,321,000 f. were drawn out. P.A.RLIANIENTAXY. The expected motion by Lord Monteagle, in the House of Lords last night, having been postponed till this night, their Lordships adjourned, after receiving a few petitions, at an early hour. In the Commons, Lord Eliot informed Dr. Bowring that the Irish Population Returns would be ready pro bably by the Ist of July ; and Colonel Conolly, that he hoped shortly to lay a Bill on the table for the regula tion of Charities in Ireland. In reply to some Hon. Member, Sir Robert Peel de clined to burden the Government with the task of regu lating the supply of the people's food, or of ascertaining the number of acres under the plough. These things ought, he said, to be left to the natural operation of commerce; though he has just passed resolutions to settle the price inter- , fere corn, and so to regulate the supply, as well as fere with the natural operations of commerce. The man is fast becoming a bundle of contradictions. The Chancellor of the Exchequer's motion, relative to Exchequer bills, we have elsewhere noticed. After a few remarks from Mr. Rumble, Mr. Leader, Sir Robert Inglis, Mr. F. T. Baring, Mr. Wakley, and Sir Robert Peel, a Bill to appoint a Commission to inquire into the issue, receipt, circulation, and possession of the forged Exchequer bills, was agreed to without opposition. Mr. French made a motion with a view to secure Par liamentary aid, and to promote the formation of Rail ways in Ireland, and supported it by an able speech. The motion was seconded, after a fashion, by Mr. Shaw, but opposed by Lord Eliot, Sir R. Peel, and Lord John Russell, and ultimately withdrawn. Lord Mahon obtained leave to bring in a Copyright Bill without calling forth any discussion. No other business of importance was transacted, and at half past nine o'clock the House adjourned. PUBLIC OPINION. The Morning Advertiser contains an article on the subject of the landed Aristocracy, in the course of which it observes:—" It can be no longer said that the Corn-law discussion is barren of good, for however remote may be the probability of obtaining any im. portant concession to the just demands of the country from the Tory Cabinet of Sir Robert Peel, the matters that escaped from the incautious lips of the Starvealls, during the course of the wordy debate, cannot fail to provoke such thinkings and discussions out of doors, as must, at no distant period, break down not only their infamous and inhuman food-monopoly, but also, and as surely, the aristocratic powers in the Legislature of the country." The Herald has the following incidental remarks in an article on the West Indian question :—" One alternative is certain; either our sugar colonies must have supplies of labour gradually poured into them, or the people of the United Kingdom must—by being to the consumption of foreign sugar—neutralise all the past efforts and stultify all the future exertions of the British Government to suppress the slave-trade and procure the abolition of African sla. very. It is for Lord Stanley to decide which shall be adopted." The Post, discussing the question of the profitable employment of the poor in Ireland, says, " that it is easy to suggest that the Government might purchase bog and waste lands from Irish pro prietors, in order to employ the poor, but even if Government had the means for such purchase, which it has not, through what scenes of jobbing and extortion would it not have to wade, in or der to obtain this worthless land, for the most benevolent pur. pose ? The mercantile spirit in this country has so knocked down the patriotic spirit, and all classes are so ready to chaffer and to bargain, and to make the most they can fur themselves, that we are not fit for the freedom which we possess." The Times expresses a hope that the Bill for legalizing marriages which have been solemnized in Ireland by Vresbyterian Ministers, between members of the English Church and Presbyterians, will be proceeded with as rapidly as possible, and adds—" It may be useful to point out exactly what the State, as such, assumes to do on these occasions, which is this, and neither more nor less than this—it affixes the legal consequences of marriage to their union—it vests the property of the wife in the husband—it fixes on the husband the maintenance of the wife—it gives to the children the rights of in. heritance—it renders the parties liable to the penalties of bigamy if they assume to marry another. But with the nature of the pre vious union, in foro eonseientice it does not and cannot interfere." The Chronicle, referring to some remarks lately made by M. Guizot in the French Chambers, says—" If there be no substan tial difference between the expressions used by Lore Aberdeen, and the expressions attributed to him, then there is nut the slightest doubt that he has given his formal sanction to the French conquest of Algiers. We are not now considering whether it was politic, or the reverse, to have mad such a concession ; we merely beg at tention to the fact, that unless Lord Aberdeen has been " substan. tially ' misreported he has made a concession of which it is of the utmost importahce that the British Parliament should be officially informed." MONEY-TIZADE-COMIVIEUCE. At the annual meeting of the Society of Friends of Foreigners in Distress, held yesterday at the London Tavern, it appeared from the report that during the past year 2,287 persons had received the be nefit of the Society, and since the foundation of the institution 59,214 persons had been relieved. The balance in hand was shown to be 5031. 3s. 9d., and out of the foreigners assisted, '74 were from Africa, 311 from the Netherlands, 201 from Prussia, 100 frtan Nor way, and 873 from Germany, Austria, and Bavaria. PUBLIC iIIIPILOirEMZNTS. Mr. Walker has presented a petition to the House of Commons complaining of the dangerous condition of the burial places of the United Kingdom, and showing that this gives rise to the most fatal malaria. STATISTICS. Mental alienation, according to the best authorities, appears to occur more frequently in Great Britain than in any other country except Norway, the proportion in England being one insane person to every 783 inhabitants, and in Scotland one in 573, whilst in Norway the ratio is one maniac in 551 of the population. Mania seems to increase as man recedes from the wai na or southern coun tries bordering the Meditetraneun, and approaches the colder regions of the north. In Italy the scale descends so low as to give not more than one insane person to every 3,785 inhabitants. NAVAL AND MILITARY. It is considered matter of surprise that her Majesty, on the occa sion of her visit to the ships at Portsmouth, should not have visited the renowned flag-ship the Victory, having on its deck the Identical spot on which Nelson fell. • Dr. Lushington gave judgment, in the case of the vessel Wilhel mine, at the Admiralty Court yesterday ; the claim of the saivors failed. The collision between the Canadian and the William and Mary, in the river, by which the latter was materially damaged, was de. cided to have been occasioned by the default of the pilot. The owners were therefore dismissed and with costs. LAW AND POLICE. A meeting was held yesterday at the Guildhall Coffee.house, by the friends of Mr. Laurie, who is a candidate for the vacant City pleadership. The Lord Mayor was in the Chair, and promised his vote in favour of Mr. Laurie. At the Longford Assizes, Michael Casey, cn Friday, and Michael Hatton, on the day following, were separately arraigned under the statute of the 2d and 3d of Victoria, for having in their possession certain secret passwords connected with the Ribbon Socieiy ; but the case of the informer broke down, and they were acquitted. The case of the collision of the Durham and the Aurora in the Humber, on the 14th of October last, which was alleged by the latter to have been caused by the two precipitate dropping of the Durham's anchor, was decided yesterday. The Durham was pro. flounced free from blame, and the amount for damage incurred by them awarded, by the Court. The salvage ease of the Pilot, an East Indiaman, which got on the mud off the coast of Sumatra, in May last, and assisted by another East Indiaman, who saw flags of distress flying, and the danger of her crew exposed to the Malay pirates, was also adjudged. The action was only for salvage for part of the property, 3951. having already been paid in compensation. A tender of 1001. had been made for this, which the Court finally considered enough, and for which it pronounced, condemning the salvors in costs. The Orange murder at Ballyroney, by which William Matthews as principal, and three others as abettors, were charged with the murder of Hugh M'Ardle, by shooting him, came on for trial at the Down Assizes on Monday, and ended in theacquittalof all four.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. HOUSE OF LORDS -(THIS DAY.) The Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, Lord Campbell, and the Earl of Redesdale, sat in the House of Lords to-day, to hear Scotch Appeals. B ALFOUR V. MALCOLM. The arguments i n this part-heard Appeal were resumed and concluded to-day, and Their Lordships gave jwlginent, affirining the decision of the Court below, with costs. HAMILTON V. HA MILTON-ABSENCE OF COUNSEL. Upon this Appeal being called on, the Agent fur the Ap pellant stated that Sir William Follett, his leading Counsel, was absent ; that the junior Counsel ( Air. Goreon) had not Leen instructed, and he had therefore to request of their Lord ships to postpone the hearing of the case to another day. Lord liaoucriAm (with some warmth) observed, that an intimation had been given to their Lordships yesterday, at three o'clock, that such a request would be made, and the parties then were peremptorily told that the House would not accede to any such application. It was the bounden dnty of the parties, therefore, to be ready to proceed to-day with the appe;.l. He considered the course that had been pursued highly disrespectful to the House, and he for one would not be a party to so great a waste of the public time. The case must, therefore, either proceed, or the appeal must be dismissed wi.h costs. The LORD CHANCELLO R . having taken his seat on the Woolsack, put the question that the appeal should be dismissed with costs, when Mr. Go' 'mow, the junior Counsel for the appellant, said, that although he had not even looked into the papers, he was willing to save the time of their Lordships and would, therefore, open the appeal as well as he could. Lord CAMPBELL said it was a case ,)f great importance, and one also of hardship to some of the parties interested ; he thought. therefore, that the motion for the dismissal-of the appeal should be carried into effect. The LORD CHANCELLO R observed, that as Mr. Gordon had expressed his willingness to proceed with the appeal, their Lordships would adjourn the consideration of it till two o'clock. in order to give him time to look into the papers, without which it was impossible that the Learned Counsel could state the case in a manlier their Lordships were entitled to expect. Lord BROUGHAM said, that counsel, agents, and parties, might depend upon it that the course that had been adopted by their Lordships that day would in future be peremptorily car ried into effect, as their Lordships were determined that the time of the publ c and of their Lordships should not be wasted, in consequence either of the non-attendance of counsel, or the neglect of agents. The appeal was then ordered to stand over till two o'clock, and in the interim their Lordships proceeded to hear the argu ments in the case of HAMILTON V. WRIGHT, This was an appeal from the decision of the Court of Session; the object of which was to reduce a deed, granting an annuity of 2211. Air. PEMBERTON and Mr. ANDERSON were heard for the appellant, and shortly before two o'clock, the further con sideration of the case was adjourned to Thursday next. HAMILTON V. HAMILTON. Mr. GORDON then proceeded to open this appeal, and had not concluded when our Evening Edition went to press. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY ) (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of England. ) Unopposed petitions, short causes, and the part-heard case of Branfil v. Brydges, occupied his Honour the whole mot ning. SECONDARIES.-(T I-1 I S DAY.) HODGEINSON V. MILLER. This was an action by an attorney against his client for 5/. 45., for professional services. Defendant had engaged plaintiff to flea bill of discovery against a Dr. Bigsby, but after some correspondence and inquiries defendant was advised not to persevere, as he had not a prospect of success. The defence at first was that this was a no•cure no-pay case, but this allegaticn failed, and it was said that no service had been performed, i. e., that the plaintiff had done no good, and then that a sufficient bill of costs as requited by the statute had not been delivered in. The SECONDARY observed that an attorney's claim must not be considered as groundless, because what his client had ordered him or permitted him to do had not been successful. The defendant's Counsel farther urged that the bill of costs was drawn up in abbreviations not commonly used in the Eng lish language, and that, therefore, according to " Archbold's Practice," the bill was invalid. The bill had the letters A. T. S. which stood for nothing, for there should have been the lour letters. A. T. S. 0. to stand for "at the suit of." Also that the plaintiff had not put down his residence in the bill. The SECONDARY thought this a very strong objection, still he could not non-suit the plaintiff on this point. The case was allowed to go to the Jury, who thought the charges on the whole reasonable, and gave a verdict for the plaintiff for 5/. 4s. _ _ • The defendant's Counsel said he would raise the point of re sidence elsewhere, to which the Learned Judge did net object. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. Peter Illinn and Robert Smith, the master and mate of a ship called the Sealby, from Tampico to Liverpool, were placed at the bar, charged with killing and slaying John Jones, a sailor boy, on board the said ship. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Doane appeared to prosecute, and Clarkson and Mr. Phillips appeared for the prisoner M'Minn, and Mr. Pendergast for the prisoner Smith. From the statement of the case by Mr. Bodkin, it appeared that the ship Sealby sailed from Tampico on the 12th of December. For some time previous to her sailing, the Cap tain and crew had been sick of the fever, and many of them had been in the hospital at Tampico. At the time the vessel sailed the boy Jones had not recovered, but was in a very weak and sickly state. While the boy was in this state the mate ordered him on deck, and putting a scraper into his hand, ordered him to scrape the deck. At another time the Captain, who was ill below, ordered the mate to take a piece of rope, and compel the boy to work. When the vessel left Tampico, the surgeon ordered that the boy should not be allowed meat for some time, but that he should be sup plied with coffee, and a little soup. These directions were complied with, but the coffee and the other food, when brought for the boy, was always placed on the after hatch in the open air, and if the boy w as t oo wea k to f etc h i t h e was obliged to go without it, as the cap ! a i n wou ld not a ll ow any person to take it to him, saying That if the boy was indulged in that way he would never work at all. The boy wou dat times crawl to the place where his food was put, but when he was unable to do so he had no food during the day. The boy ultimately died on the 24th Dece m b er . James Lewis was the first witness called, who stated that the boy was extremely ill at the time when the vessel sailed. It was ordered by the doctor that care should be taken of him. The boy was directed by the mat e t o scrape t h e s hi p, an d t h e mate put a scraper into his hand, and made him go down on his knees to scrape the deck. The boy died on the 24th Dec. John Rapson stated, that he was a boy on beard the vessel called the Sealby. She sailed from Tampico on the 12th of December. A number of the crew was at that time ill. The boy Jones was very ill, but he was ordered on deck to scrape the ship. His food was always pl ace d on the after h atc h , an d if he did not go for it himself, he was obliged to go without it. Use boy was so weak that he used to crawl upon his knees to the after hatch. Has seen him crawl to the water-cask to get some water. Once when he was at the cask saw the mate push him down, and prevent him getting any water to drink. Never heard the boy use any improper language to the captain or the mate. Witness was fed vet y well during the first part of the voyage. They had then a pound and a half of meat a day, but it was afterwards reduced to one pound, and then to half a pound. Has seen the mate beat the bov frequently when the boy was unable to work, and often heard him complain of the mate and captain beating him. The t' ay before the boy di ti he complained of ill-treatment, and said he h-id been starved. tie died on the 24th December. 'r he ship's cook was called, and co rro b orate d th e f orego i ng testimony. On cross-examination, he said that in cases of fever in the climate of Tampico, too much food frequently caused death. The meat wa s a l ways taken to the after hatc h that the captain might see how much was given to each man. Had seen the deceased boy frequently go to that part of the vessel for his food, but could not say how much lie ate. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. PRENDERGAST then addressed the Jury for his client, contending that under the circumstances the courser adopted was a necessary one for the safety of the whole crew ar.d the ship. The whole of the crew were in a state of sickness, and if cessation of labour had been allowed, the slip must have been sacrificed, together with the whole crew. The de ceased was put to the easiest work in the ship, that of scraping the decks, arid even for this the mate was not answer able, inasmuch as he was acting under the orders of the captain. Several witnesses were then called, all of whom gave the prisoner Smith a good character for humanity and mildness. Mr. PHILLIPS then addressed the Jury for the other pri soners. Several witnesses gave the prisoner 'IP:UIm) a good charac ter for humanity, and The LEA RNED JUDGE having .s immed up the evidence, the Jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty, but at the same time expressing their belief that great blame rested on the prisoners. The prisoners were again indicted for killing and slaying another boy of the name of John Popham, but Mr. CLA RESON said after the decision the Jury had come to as to the former case, he should not press the second indictment, as the evidence upon which it rested was precisely the same as that already adduced. The prisoners were eonsequently acquitted. NEW COURT. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) The Court was occupied during the morning with the hear ing of "%lint cases, none of which offered any feature of pub lic interest. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) Robert Owen was charged with obtaining the sum of 71. I Is. from Mr. Levinson, under false Pretences. The prosecutor stated that, on the sth of October last year, the prisoner went to him, and stated that he had a claim upon the Portuguese Government for upwards of 401., and at the same time showed him a paper, being an acknowledgment that the claim reerred to had been accepted by the Portuguese Commission. He represented himself as being William Varney, an I s t a t e d that he Lad bees a soldier i n the 4th company of Portugu ese Marines, and added that he wished t o dispose of his claim. After some further i l iqu'ries witness gave the prisoner 71. 6 5 ., for which he gave him a receipt, and subsequently a power of attorney, enabling the witnes s to act for the prisoner ; to both o f t h ese deeds the prisoner signed his name ~ William were out yet blarney." Witness subsequently gave the prisoner 55., but not feeling secure in making these advances, he went to the Corn ya;nawghaivlset missioner and inquired about the awa:ll ; to his surprise the Commissioner informed him that William \Varney had died fo l lo n w ey in ; some time ago at Kensington, and of course the claim was worth nothing. Last night a boy went to witness's house, and said he came from William Warney to know if his award ; witness replied that the award was out, and told the boy to tell the prisoner to call in the morning for the g h t e he th h e o n y s t e h n e t hyiosnynogunrog amnaninteot t fo h l e low pr t t h so e ne b r o him in charge. By Mr. JARDINE—The paper from the Commission, ac knowledging that the claim had been accepted was, of course, given to Wm. Warney, who is dead. The prison er entered into a long statem e n t , and urged that he had purchased the claim from Wm. blarney, to whom he gave 1/. for it, an d rece i ve d a power of attorney from Warney to act for him. Having heard that a man named Leslie, of Castle- street, Leicester-square, bought these claims, he went to him, and he said he would purchase it. Leslie then went to Mr. Black's, the agent, in whose hands the claim was, and saw it, and got the acknowledgment paper from him (the prisoner). Leslie kept him drinking all day, and in the evening took him to Mr. Levinson, who, having asked him one or t wo ques ti ons , gave him the money, and told 11;.m that he must give him a power of attorney, which he did. By Mr. JARDINE—I do net recollect what the questions were that Mr. Levinson as k e d me, h av i ng b een dr i n ki ng w i t h Leslie all day, and being at the time intoxicated. In answer to other questions from Mr. Jardine, the prose cutor stated that he did not observe the prisoner to be intoxi cated, when he first called upon him. Leslie was also a claim ant upon the Portuguese Government, but as he had miscon ducted himself he could not now be found. The prisoner further stated that he had been a servant in the employ of Dr. Ganning, of Walworth, for four years, who would no doubt give him a character. Mr. JARDINE—This case must be further inquired into. (To the prisoner)—l cannot help being struck with your account of the matter, and I don't want to send you to prison, but, at the same time, I must be sure that you will appear here to answer the charge. If you can find one householder who will give bail to the amount of 201., or two in 101. each, for your appearance here this day week, I shall discharge you. he prisoner was then remanded to enable him to find bail. A strange-looking man, of :cry dark complexion, with a rough moustache on the upper lip, was charged with creating a disturbance at a public-house. The prosecutor stated that about half-past twelve last even ing he cleared his house of his customers, of whom the pri soner was one ; he had not been long out, however, when he returned, and made a most furious disturbance at the door, which he kicked and battered most lustily. To prevent a re currence of such conduct he gave the prisoner in charge. The prisoner, when called on for his defence, said, " Sare, sare, me go to de beeblic oos in de morning, me ab de glass of bare, me go to de beeblic oos in de eebnin, me take glass bare, in de beelic oos, me full my peep tabac in de beeblic oos. 1 want make wa-ter ; de man say, You go dat way ;' de vomana say, ' You go toder way.' I go out, make wa-ter, and leave de glass bare, and de peep tabac, in de beeblic oos. De moment 1 go out make wa-ter, dey shut de beeblic nos,:and no let me in. I say, Gib it to me my glass bare—gib it to me my peep tabac.' Dey no gib it me ; me knock and kick de door—dam debil, kick him down—and me say 'gin, Gib it me my glass, gib it me my peep.' Dat all, Sare." The complainant stated that he did not desire to punish the prisoner, but he was a great nuisance, and all he wanted was to have less of his company. Mr. JARDINE (to the prisoner)--By your kicking at the door in this violent manner, you have made yourself liable to be fined 405., or to suffer fourteen days' imprisonment ; but if you will promise not to trouble this gentleman any more, and not to go to his house at all, I shall discharge you. Prisoner, with a grin—" No, no, Sare, I no go no more." He was then discharged. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) Henry Chester, a young man, wearing a fashionable M cin tosh, was charged with picking ,the pocket of a working man, named Joseph Webb. It appeared that last night, between seven and eight o'clock, the prosecutor, who was exceedingly intoxicated, was drinking with the prisoner, who was a stranger to him, at the bar of the tap of the White Bear Tavern, in Piccadilly, and the landlord saw the prisoner slip his hand into the prosecutor's jacket pocket, and take nut some silver, part of which he let f.,11 on the floor. He was immediately taken into custody, and money cnrrespending in amount (12s. 6d.) to what the prosecutor missed, was found on him. The prisoner positively denied the charge altogether, and as serted that he was a person in a respectable station of life; but as he was recognised as one of the swell mob, he was commit ted to take his trial for the robbery at the ensuing Westmin ster Sessions.

Last night, at nine o'clock, a very numerous meeting of the members of the above Society was held at the Cambrian Tavern, Castle-street, Leicester-square, Mr. H. Pouncey in the chair. Mr. AUSTEN, the Secretary, brought up the Report, which declared that the Committee had no confidence in the plans of the present Government, and they recommended that the So ciety should, for the present, refrain from memorialising her Majesty until they had seen what were the financial pans of Sir R. Peel—when, should they not answer the expectations of the country, they would have an additional argument in support of a memorial for the dismissal of the Ministry. The Committee then expressed, " That having re ceived, by special communication • from Capt. Rous, a report of his speech, delivered in the House of Commons on the Corn-laws, they declared their indignation at the a,set Lion that the most enlightened of the electors of the city of West minster were declared to be satisfied with the measure brought before the House of Commons by Sir 11. Peel, that they solemnly assert such declarations to be untrue, and that they pledge themselves to use their best exertions to prevent the re election of Captain Rous at any ensuing contest for the repre sentation of the city of Westminster." The Report was agreed to. It was resolved that they should be advertised in the The Sun, Advertiser, and Chronicle newspapers. Various Members having been enrolled, among whom was Mr. T. Duncombe, the Member for Finsbury, thanks were voted to the Chairman, who replied, when the meeting broke up. LITERATURE. BRITISH and FOREIGN REVIEW. No.XXV.I Taplor, London, 1842—. The reign of Louis the Fourteenth, the longest— and when its influence on the politics and literature of Europe is considered, the most remarkable—in the French annals, has yet to be written. Many histo rians, both here and on the Continent, have attempted the task, but none have fully succeeded ; not because they had not knowledge or industry enough, but be cause they had not the variety of powers that so com prehensive a subject demands; and more especially, because they regarded the period too much per se, without reference to that which preceded it. No his torian is thoroughly qualified to discuss the policy of Louis the Fourteenth's reign, who has not made him self a perfect master of the leading features of Cardinal Richelieu's Administration, and of the principles on which that most sagacious, but unprincipled, statesman acted ; which, though somewhat at a stand-still under the government of his wily, timid successor, Mazarin, were carried out in all their rigor by Louis the Four teenth.. By most writers this Monarch has been re garded merely as a showy vain, ambitious despot ; but he was much more, than this ; he was the shrewd, quiet, indefatigable, inflexible, and far sighted imitator of itichelieu's policy. What the Cardinal commenced and carried on by terror, Louis brought to a triumphant consumma tion by tact. It was the leading object of Riche lieu's political system to reduce the French aristocracy to a state of absolute dependence on himself ; to give them nominal, but not real, authority ; and to raise up.the middling arid lower classes, by way of counter poise. Louis, who early in life foresaw all the advan tages that this system would secure to him, embraced it with ardour, followed it out to its utmost extent, and never once halted, nor swerved from his determi nation, till he had rendered every nobleman a mere cypher in the State, to be ruised up or depressed at his Sovereign will. Leaving the aristocratic body in possession of all such privileges and honours as in no way interfered with his own despotic authority, he jealously deprived them of every shred of political power. But Richelieu pursued his object by means of intimidation ; Louis, more astute, adopted the surer and safer methods of corruption and cajolery. He broke down the fortunes of the noblesse, by encouraging the utmost extravagance ; he tempted them by bribes and appointments in his household ; he sowed the seeds of dissension among them, and taught them to consider it as the highest possible distinction to figure among the knaves and fools at the Court of Versailles. Such we conceive to have been the leading political characteristic of Louis the Fourteenth's reign, and not its ambitious foreign wars, which were all subordinate to this great purpose. In the Number before us there is a clever portrait of this distinguished Monarch, which occurs in a review of the " Historiettes of Tallemant des Reaux"—an amusing French gossip who flourished in the seven teenth century, and has recorded many of the most piquant and scandalous anecdotes of his time. In speaking of Louis, the Reviewer says, " He was pre cisely the man for his hour, and he was nothing more. Without a spark of genius, without shining abili ties of any kind, he possessed just the neces sary qualities—love of order, activity of mind, and passion for business, graces of person and de meanour, reasonably good sense, and unimpeachable manners." We object to nothing in this sketch, but the expression, "reasonably good sense," which con veys but a niggardly notion of the statesmanlike saga city which Louis undoubtedly possessed. " Philo sophy of Art " is a rambling, metaphysical article, in which, however, there are some ingenious—though not novel—reflections on the subject of poetry. The difference between learning and wisdom is also adroitly pointed out. In the observations on the " Poniatowski Collection of Gems," which have lately attracted the attention of artists in no ordinary de gree, the Reviewer intimates his opinion that these gems " are not the authentic and genuine works of the Greek artists whose names are sculptured on them." Observing, as one reason for the faith that is in him, that "the gems are all uninjured, not a chip is to be seen on any of them, no barbarian finger has ever attempted to muti late one of them ; they are as perfect as the first hour they left the engraver's hands. To find so extensive a cabinet of antique gems quite perfect, is very singular !" In an article suggested by " The Hand-loom Weavers Report," occur some useful and inteliigent remarks on the propriety .of providing the humble classes of society with pleasures and recrea tions at the public cost, which, the Reviewer, adds " are easily provided, and without much outlay of money." The best passage in the notice of " Passa vant's Life of Rafflielle," is the criticism on this un rivalled painter's cartoons at Hampton Court ;" in the justice of which we cordially coincide. The article entitled " Swisserland," we have not space to en large on, so must content ourselves with remarking that it will be read with pleasure by all who take any interest in the present political condition of that country. THE COLLEGIANS. Maxwell, London, 1842. This is a republication, in one neat duodecimo vo lume, of a novel written by the late Mr. Gerald Griffin, and which was much admired at the time it was produced, about nine years ago. The volume is illustrated with two engravings. MONEY MARKET und CITY NEWS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. ADVERTISER.—We mentioned' a few days since our apprehension that a war was likely to break out between Texas and Mexico, unless some friendly foreign PoWer should inter pose to avert so great a calamity. It seems, however, that a war is not the only scourge the Texians are exposed to, since various commotions have occurred in the Republic, partaking more of the character of a potty rebellion than a riot. Bodies of armed men, in number from thirty to forty each, were coming into constant collision with each other, under various political denominations, such as Moderados, &e., and the result being generally the massacre or mutilation of a good proportion on both sides, and Lynch-law reigned triumphant in :various quarters, threatening notices being served upon any one who became obnoxious to a gang of desperadoes. In one of these barbarian documents, the party is coolly required to quit house and lands within a very limited time, although, as the notice observes, "it may be very inconvenient to him." The whole state of society in fact, in some parts of the Republic, is spoken of in worse terms than could be applied to an unci vilised. community. . . . _ SUN.—The business doing in the English Stocks to-day, was to a fair extent, and there wa4 the same steadiness in prices. The mercantile community are apparently tot much inconvenienced by the approaching pay-day in the Bill world ; but there is as usual a vague feeling of apprehension, seeing the badness of the times, that some houses may give way under the growing stagnation. For some time past we have been anticipating later news from Australia, a large number of persons here being interested in the trade and prosperity of those colonies. It is hoped the next accounts will show that the mercantile community are recovering from their embarras ments. Consols for immediate transfer were worth 89,1 to 89i, and for Account 89i to 89g. Exchequer Bills were at an advance to 265. and 295. premium, arid East India Bonds at 9s. to lie premium. New Three-and-a-Half per Cents, were 98,i to 99, and the Three per Cent. A nnu iti es 893 to 893. Bank Stock for the opening was at 172. East India Stock was at a decline to 24.:3. ' - here was net much general business in the foreign bonds; tt.e Spanish Securities, though a shade better, 243 to being in reality neglected; but if we look to South American Stocks alone,we should say there was decidedly a goo d b us i ness d o i ng. parties are sanguine, too, of a f ur th er r i se i n t h em, as Many the public have been buyers lately, and there is hardly a suffi ciency of the bonds to meet the demand. If the public, how ever, would take our advice, they would be cautious in dealing at :Al in any such investments. They are at best precarious, and need a constant surveillance that renders their possession no sinecure. Indeed, it would be a curious calculation to ascer tain the actual amount of wear and tear which the holder of such a fluctuating property must suffer in his constitution during the year. The Railway Shares were brisk again at full prices. THE MISER'S DAUGHTER. AINSWORTH'S MAGAZINE, No. ll.—Three more chapters of Mr. Ainsworth's new story, " The Miser's Daughter," open this varied and admirable number. The tale is already full of life, se that we can partly form a judgment of its cha racters and its purpose. Its date is 1744; and the intrigues on behalf of the Pretender will form part of the action. The characters brought on in the former portion are excellently discriminated ; each has peculiar distinctness, whether we look , at the busy barber, or his neighbour the miser, whose daughter, the high-minded and beautiful Hilda Scarve, makes a sunshine "in the dingy dwelling;" or the two brothers, Uncle Trussel and Uncle Abel—the first, a life-like picture of the gay gentleman of the town—the other, a " wounded deer,' living more apart from the herd, in whose sensitive nature and secret grief, connected with some cause of eternal hatred to the miser Scarve, we take at once the deepest interest. The hero, the generous and upright Randulph Crew, is brought dexterously into play, at the very outset, with all these personages, as he is with the new characters that figure in the chapters before us; one IA whom (and a most important one he is, being no less than the beau-valet of Beau Villiers) finds himself engaged in the most natural way by three or four persons at a time, to watch the move ments of Randulph. This beau-valet is inimitable, and will assuredly eclipse the reputation of his renowned master. We leave untouched the interest of a scene in the miser's house, where the lovely Hilda is being bargained for, and her flinty father is being duped. We extracted on Monday a most animated and extraordinary scene at the door of the same dwelling, where Sir Bulkely Price, at the head of fourteen retainers, each carrying a thousand pounds in;gold, pays down his mortgage-money just within an hour of the time when the miser was revelling in the fond hope that the estates would be forfeited. CI uikshack has realised this scene in one of his peculiarly .ivid sketches. His other illustration, in which Cordweil Firebrass is introduced, is first-rate in execution and design. We know of no tale, by this or any other novelist, that opens with a deeper, though unforced and , natural, interest than " The Miser's Daughter."—Guimier.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Srx,—For many years past I have travelled through diq eastern and western counties of England, and have frequently heard complaints from tradesmen of the long creditwhich' farmers take, and the great difficulty they have to get old stank , ing accoants s ettl e d. Did this arise from poverty , or from tlOs, farmers having to give long credit themselves, there might be some reason for their ; nstponed payments ; but as it is se : , knowledged th at farmers have done well for some consi derabl Oio time past, and are generally in good circumstances , t he first:,,,, supposition cannot be correct. As respects the credit farreer,,,, give, it seldom exceeds two or three market days. Now ts?._, being th e case , to w h at can t h e ev il complained of be etre'. b utable to?
