EVENING SUN N7Q ) LONDON: SATURDAY, JANUARY 15, 1842. The case of the American vessel lately carried into Nassau by the slaves of embarked on b oar d h er , about which th e Times yesterday wrote a war and defianne:-breathing article, ) seems to us a clear case which cannot i 0 . b cause any dis turbance between th e two siGovernments T of Eng land and the United States. n it there is no principle at issue which is assented to by one p a rty and denied by the other. All parties an d a ll powers are agreed that every igdividual S o vere i g n State may make what laws seemLeats they what within its own dominions, without,. what they may , justifying the int er f erence of another State. America does not, an d cannot, contest our right to declare that the soil of our dominions cannot hear a slave, and that by tread ing on that a man is, ipso facto, a free man. The Times, in fact, quotes Judge STORY, an American Judge, to prove that the 'doctrines of absolute sovereignty - within its own territories is the right of Xeither' State contend's So, according to the Times, the Monarch who is not a pimp and a spy at the Courts of his allies, is no better than an idiot? An observance of the laws of honour and religion in Kings, is mere foolery! As for the first sentence in the above extract, if the writer has not been in a position to deduce it from his own experience, he ought in fairness to have acknowledged that he stood indebted for it to the matured experience of the Jew FAGIN in " Oliver Twist," or his hopeful disciple theprecocious - CuAnLEY BATES. " Dishonour Waits on perfidy. the crime Of cowards." But perfidy in the guest to the host tha shelters and feeds him, is common sense, worldly wisdom, according to the Times. So steeped is the writer in the slough of this New gate system of ethics, that he cannot suppose any one save an idiot could accept a gentleman's hospitality without playing the spy and the scoundrel in his house I The Times does not stop here. All Kings, ac cording to our Contemporary, are arch-hypo.. crites, and the King of Paussie a still greater one than any of his Royal confreres. Even at the altar his face of sanctity is but a mask for villany. We again quote the Times :-- To be sure the breasts of Kings, unlike the breasts of nurses, are plaguy close. One always finds it difficult to sound them. Oftentimes there is no knowing their real drift, and especially when they co me amongst us as spon sors at a royal christening, it is painful to think that ordinary folks have no means of anticipating what tor tuous duplicity they may be guilty of—standing sancti moniously at the font, and all the while worming out the secrets of the Cabinet—uttering responses to the Arch bishop, and in the internals earwigging the Foreign Secre tary—pretending to pore intently upon the Prayer-book, but in reality peering into the Chancellor of the Ex chequer's bag—in a word, joining with apparent single heartedness in all the attendant festivities, but in point of fact—whether waltzing or worshipping, whether cha riotted in a State procession or regaled at a royal ban quet, whether talking about a Jerusalem bishopric, or descanting upon railroad wonders —never for a moment neglecting to elicit all sorts of i m p or t ant S tate secrets, which foreign Sovereigns have no right to know, and which British functionaries have certainly no right to disclose. So the King of PRUSSIA is not honest even at his prayers. With the prayer-book in his hand the Times detects him peering into the Chan cellor of the Exchequer's bag. Now this is a trouble which his MAJESTY might very well spare himself. The Chancellor of the Ex chequer has already toldi the world that his bag is empty and his credit exhausted. More than this, we cannot comprehend what dangerous knowledge the King of PRUSSIA could extract, not only from the empty bag, but the empty head of the Right Hon. Gentleman. But— " Only the base believe what the bale utter," and, therefore, we shall not burden ourselves with crediting a syllable of the calumnies against the King of PRUSSIA uttered by the Times. However correct our Contemporary's general estimate of the character of Kings may be in the abstract, the article upon which we are commenting demonstrates that his moral axioms receive; confirmation more from what he witnessed in the regions of St. Giles's than St. James's. We rather think that his friendly recognitions in Seven-dials would bear the same proportion to his identification of equipages at Buckingham Palace, that FALSTAFF'S ten shil- ings' worth of sack did to his ha'porth of bread. But the Times has discovered that the King, of PRUS4IA intends appearing in three characters at the Court of our Sovereign Lady Queen VICTORIA. Having first perforrnedlhe parts of a spy and hypocrite, he is next to figure in that of a bUlly. The two forme that it has a right to protect criminals, or resist the demand of the other State to give them up. The only questions -which can possibly be involved in the Nassau case between the two Governments are questions of detail, such as whe ther the whole •f the criminals have been given up, and whether some of them may not have been protected as innocent men. Details of that de scription must be the subject of investigation in the spot by the proper authorities, or by a Spe cial Commission, and, when the facts are ascer tained, there can be no doubt whatever that both Governments, agreeing as they do on the principles, will soon arrange this trifling subject. The case will be easily settled by the principles known and recognised by both parties. In its remarks on this subject, the Times has supplied an ample justification of the resistance given by the United States to our claim to search their vessels, which that Journal has been loud, and even bullying, in condemning. Even yes terday it sneered at the United States " claim ing a surly and novel independence, destructive of all maritime security ;" which sneer has the demerit of being unjust, for the concession would put an end to security. At the same time, it is asserted as a general principle that "we claim most distinctly the right to pronounce for ourselves, finally and irresponsibly, where concessions to the comity of nations' shall end. The very meaning of independence is the power of so doing. There is an end of national inde pendence if we are not to say for ourselves, and nobody else for us, exactly how far a man who stands on English ground shall be governed by English law." A ship is, all the world over, and at all times, according to international law, a part of the ter ritory of the nation to which that ship belongs. 1t is, therefore, for the American Government, not for the English Government, to determine all points concerning American ships. That all the powers of Christendom have agreed to declare the slave trade piracy makes no difference whatever in the rights of the Americans, since " every State is to pronounce for itself finally and irre sponsibly where concessions to the comity of nations shall end." Though all the other sove reign powers of Europe should declare a new maritime code, they cannot, united, without a breach of duty, compel the Americans to submit to it, for the "very meaning of independence is the power in a sovereign State of determining what concessions it will make to the comity of nations." America refuses to concede the right of search. She does that for herself, "finally and irresponsibly," and England hastily and arbitrarily trenches on the right of sovereignty in the United States, when she persists, in spite of the refusal of the United States, to visit and search American ships. We have already expressed our opinion that he Times is a traitor in the Tory camp. An article in that Journal of this morning, on the intended visit of the King of PRUSSIA to this country, exhibits such an utter absence of moral principle on the part of the writer—such an in nate contempt for the Royal dignity—and such a picture of regal depravity even in the person of one of the most exemplary Protestant Princes in Europe, that it is impossible the Attorney- General can read it with any other view than to deliberate how far it may be advisable to make it the object of a Crown prosecution. We are no great admirers of the King of PRUSSIA, but,lbelieving him to be a Christian and a gentle man—characters of whom the writer in the Times has evidently not the shadow of a con ception —we hold it to be impossible that he should perform the vile part of a spy, assigned him by the Oracle of Printing-house -square. Of the JONATHAN WILD code of ethics which regu lates the conduct of the writer in the Times, some idea may be formed from the following extract from the first " leader" of the leading Journal of—Old Bailey attorneys : Nobody, now-a-days, thinks of passing a fortnight with a neighbour without prying into his affairs, finding out how he manages his tenantry, tampering withhis land-steward, getting a peep at his banker's book, and acquiring a tolerable knowledge of his private circum stances. A Monarch that would attend a christening at the Court of one of his allies, and yet refrain from having a confidential gossip with the upper nurses, must be little better than an idiot. Such a precious oppor tunity for acquiring the means of circumventing and undermining his Royal entertainer it would be mere fatuity to neglect. hacilities for a baptismal intrigue are much too rare to be lightly foregone ; and accord ingly, as self-protection is a duty not less imperative than hospitality, every prudent State that solicits a fo reign Sovereign to become its guest even on occasion of a religious ceremony, must see the necessity of keeping an observant eye upon his movements—must endeavour to ascertain in due time what he is likely to be after— must try if possible to fathom his sinister intentions— and must take every reasonable care that Mrs. Brough and the Royal rockers be not too loquacious and com municative on State affairs. T.H. SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, JANUARY 15, 1842. • - -- - In the Co ur t of Queen's Bench, Ireland, a udgment has been pronounced which cannot fail to astonish and afflict hundreds of highly re spectable families in the northern districts of that kingdom. A Mr. SMITH wail convicted at the last assizes at Armagh of bigamy. His Counsel, Mr. WHIT3iBIDE, objected that his first marriage was not valid, having been celebrated by a Pres byterian clergyman between an Episcopalian Protestant and a Presbyterian. Judge CRAMP TON, before whom the case was tried, reserved the point for the decision of the Irish Judges, who, on Tuesday last, pronounced theirjudgment, in presence of a very crowded court. There were ten Judges on the Bench, eight of whom decided that a marriage celebrated between an Episco palian Protestant and a Presbyterian, by a Pres byterian clergyman, was not valid, and therefore that SMITH must be discharged out of custody. As this judgment will operate retrospectively as well as prospectively, in a country where some thousands of families have been so married, and where the fruits of such marriages are exceed ingly numerous, it is impossible to estimate the amount of suffering which it may occasion. We regret it on many accounts, but chiefly because it will tend to unsettle men's minds as to the va lidity and force of the most sacred engagements. It opens a door to the widest and most heartless profligacy, as it leaves it at the option of any person so married to desert his family and the partner of his bed under the hypocritical pretext of flying from a state of fornication. It is true the persons so united may be married again by application to the clergy of the Established Church; but in the case of old decrepid people, who have reared up families, and who stand M the relation of grandsires to their descendants, what a deal of scandal would not such marriages cast upon the Church ? Regarding the judgment in a purely secular sense, it is of the utmost im portance as involving endless controversies re specting the rights of property. That this question will be early brought before Parliament we do not doubt. An Act of the Legislature is imperatively demanded to supply whatever is wanting in the validity of all mar riages already celebrated, to which the judg ment of the Irish Court of Queen's Bench ap plies. This Act, if quickly passed, may prevent separations and actions at law without number. It is for the Church of Scotland to determine whether she will consent to admit the invalidity of any marriage celebrated by her regularly or dained ministers, one party to which shall be of her own communion. For our own part we think justice and decency demand that in all mixed marriages it is enough to constitute their validity that the officiating priest be of the reli gious communion of one or the other of the con tracting parties. It might lead to abuses were a Church of England, a Presbyterian, or a Ro mish priest to celebrate a marriage between per sons of another religious communion, or of dif ferent sects from themselves ; but were one of the persons about to be married to hold the tenets of the Established Church, the Presby tery, or the See of Rome, we consider the reli gious right of one or other of these priests to be undoubted. To grant a monopoly of mixed marriages to one class of priests is an outrage against the liberty of the subject, and a violation of freedom of conscience. A Roman Catholic, for example, marrying a Protestant, may not think a Church of England marriage binding, whereas the object of his choice may have scruples as to the validity of a Romish marriage, Now, in this case, the monopoly claimed by the State Church necessarily leads to great domestic unhappiness. To the parties who contract mixed marriages it should be left to determine in the communion of what Church they would prefer their celebration, all and each being declared equally valid by the Legislature. But the most painful impression which this judgment of the expounders of the laws will make out of Ireland will be the effect which it must have in opening the eyes of the people to the defects which exist in all our social institu tions. Here is the denunciation of a grave, civil, and ecclesiastical error, which has existed for centuries 'in Ireland, unknown to all who took part in it before the Court of Queen's Bench pronounced its judgment on Tuesday. Men and women mouldering in their graves, after a life of what they died in the belief was the perfection of Christian connubial happiness, are by this sentence denounced to their descendants as having lived and died in a state of fornication. But what was the State Church doing all this time? Wherefore did she not lift up a warning voice? But it is ever so. The Church is the last to find her tongue when her pecuniary in terests are left untouched. Give her the tithe pig, and letit be the fattest of the litter, and SATA x may, if he chooses, carry off the swine-herd without molestation. The following is the latest news from Madrid : " M. de Salvandy, after receiving from the Spanish Cabinet a reply to his ultimatum, left Madrid on the 6th instant for Paris. M. de Salvandy appointed M. De cazes (one of the attaches) to act as Charge d'Affaires." A Bayonne letter of the 10th instant announces that two attaches to the French Embassy at Madrid, had just passed through Bayonne, on their way to Paris, and that M. de Salvandy had stopped at Breviesca, a village situate between Burgos and Vittoria, whither the courier who was the bearer of the instructions forwarded from Paris on the sth inst., and who had just arrived in Bayonne, proceeded. No cash transaction took place on the sth in the Five per Cents. The Three per Cents. sold for 231 23-1 23i 231 at different dates. The Paris Journals of Thursday have been re ceived. All the important news they contain will be found in our Summary and the Report of the Chamber of Peers. The following roe general_ 'extracts from them : Our Madrid advices, of the 4th int., state that the affair of the French Ambassador rcolainedjust where it are common to all Kings, the latter his MAJESTY of Prussia derives from a long line of ancestors, including several Electors of Bran denburg. Again we must borrow a descriptive sketch of his MAJESTY'S appearance in his last and real part, from the coarse, sign-board pallet of the Times : It would appear therefore, upon the whole, that what ever be the ostensible purpose of the King of Prussia's approaching visit, his Majesty's real object is to insult the English Ministry and Baron Bulow. The latter has for some time resided among us as Plenipotentiary from the Court of Berlin. No complaints, that we'are aware of, have ever been made against his Excelle nc y' s dipl omac y. But as it app ears that his Royal master is now about to take matters into his own hank the poor Baron, we fear, is about to get a humbling. Neither is Sir Robert Peel's Ministry destined to escape a brush. The Royal schoolmaster is evidently coming from abroad to drill English statesmen in divers points of duty—to cate chise them on matters of common interest to Germany and himself—to make a serious push for his own profit —and to ascertain from the questioned Conservatives how far they themselves are acquainted with, or are ca pable of revealing to foreign interrogators, the real con dition of the English Government. Further comments upon these extracts we feel to be uncalled for. It would be an insult to our readers to suppose that there is one of them —however Republican his principles may be— who can read without disgust the gross insults thus offered to a Royal personage on his way to pay a friendly visit to this country. To brand an independent Sovereign who, at the invita tion of our Gracious QUEEN, comes a guest to our shores with the epithets of spy, hypocrite, and bully, is a piece of low, brutal, Old Bailey insolence, of which no Journal in England, save the Times, could be guilty. Be the designs of the King of PRUSSIA what they may, the Press generally knows what is due to the sacred character of a national guest ; nor will it even suspect a King of opening a Prayer-book to cloak de signs more sinister than those of reconciling himself to his Creator. Thank Heaven, Eng land is not in a condition to be terrified at the idea of having her living defences examined by Kings; and though her Tory statesmen might dread a reproof from the lips of Prussia's dread Sovereign, his MAJESTY is too sagacious a Prince, and too well-bred a gentleman to choose the occasion of a temporary visit to this country, on the hilarious occasion of the baptism of a Prince of Wales, either to snub the Premier or to call the Chancellor of the Exchequer to an account for the deficit in the revenue. The commission appointed during the last session of tho Chambers to take tho question of tho abolition of slavery into consideration, reassembled yesterday, at tho Palais Bourbon. The Toulonnais of the 9th announces that the Bran don steamer, bound to Tunis, had neither letters nor pas sengers on board. The mails from Spain have not arrived. ( The Ley, a Barcelona journal, says in its number of the 4th that the Government was going to dissolve the societies of mutual assistance (de secours mutuels) esta blished in Catalonia on the plan of the French societies. The Marshal President of the Council has just ap pointed a Commission to examine a project of colonisa tion in French Guiana, presented by Mr. Favard, the delegate of that colony, and of which M. Jules Lecha valier is the author. BOURSE—Tens, THURSDAY, JAN. 13. First Highest Lowest Last Price Price. Price.

JUSTICE IS WISDOM. —The Morning Post affirmed yesterday that justice is wisdom. That is our opinion ; and, therefore, regardless of what ignorant persons (for ignorant they must be of the future) predict as to the consequences, we de mand the abolition of the unjust Corn-laws. They raise the rent and increase the incomes of the idle law-making classes at the expense of the industrious classes. They are a gross and pal pable injustice, and therefore must be, on the Post's doctrines, also unwise and inexpedient. If that Journal cannot prove the Corn-laws to be just, let it extend its own nxiom to them, and denounce them as we denounce them. The number of deaths in the metropolis during the week ending January 8, had de creased by 46, as compared with that of the previous week. The decrease had taken place chiefly in the deaths caused by dis eases of the brain, the heart, old age, and those of uncertain seat. The deaths from dis eases of the lungs are still on the increase, eighteen more have occurred during the last than the former week, and not fewer than forty-six as compared with the week ending Dec. 25.

During the past year 292,00 0 passengers were conveyed by the railroad between Amsterdam and Haar lem. The total receipts, including luggage and mer chandise, were 136,698 florins (or 336,745 francs. The Lincoln Mercury intimates that Mr. Chris topher's constituents are greatly dissatisfied with his late speech upou the corn cinestion, and are about to I take steps to express their feeling on the subject. was, notwithstanding that Sir A. Aston had done all in his power to bring about a good understanding upon the subject. In the sitting of the Deputies on that day, the Minister of Finance had brought forward the Budget of 1842, which was referred to a Committee- Accord ing to this document, it appears that the deficit for 1842 is upwards of 180 millions of reels, or 45 millions of francs. The estimates of the war department are fixed at 600,000,000 reals, or 150 millions of francs. The average revenues of the Spanish Government are calcu lated at between 700 and 800 millions of reels, or from 173 to 200 millions of francs per annum.—The Castel lano of the above date gives the following:—" The even ing before last an extraordinary incident occurred at the Palace. A carriage drove up to the steps from which the Princesses enter their equipages, and a gen tleman alighting went to th e d oor at which are stationed the first sentinels of the halberdiers, who asked him where he was going. Ile replied that he belonged to the household. Of entering the saloon he was again questioned, and then replied that he was the King Don Philip, affianced to Queen Isabella 11., and was about to marry her immediately. He was taken before the Cap tain-General, and, being recognised as a lunatic, was placed in safe custody.' The Cure of Vernon, in the Eure, as we learn from the journal of the department, having refused to perform the funeral service over the body of a grocer of the town, who had committed suicide, the grenadiers of the Na tional Guard determined to accompany his remains to the cemetery. As the procession was about to move from the deceased's house, it was opposed by the Freres de Charite, but the Commissary of Police interfered, and declared that the grenadiers had a right to carry their late comrade to his grave ; but as the Freres de Charite refused to lend their staves to support the bier, the gre nadiers used their muskets for the purpose. It is the custom at Vernon to throw the bodies of criminals over the wall of the cemetery, and bury them in the common fosse, but in this case the gates were opened to the pro cession, which was numerously attended, and the corpse was interred in a separate grave. The Revue du Havre mentions the detection of a secret gambling-house in that town, and the prosecution of several respectable persons as being concerned in it. It is said to have been denounced by a foreigner, who lost 4,000 f. in playing there. The Journal de 1 'Eure complains that the wolves con tinue to ravage the country round Evreux, and have de voured several cattle belonging to feeders in Authou, Pont Authou, St. Georges Lieurey, and the neighbour. ing communes. An eagle was killed last week at La Chapelle-sur- Erdre, near Nantes. It measured 7 feet 11 inches from tip to tip of its wings. No bird of the kind had been seen in that commune for the last twenty years. A lady and gentleman were one day last week going from Chaumont to Blois, in a light carriage with one horse, when the jolting upset a ch au fi e - p i e d , w hi c h the lady had under her feet to keep them warm, and scat tered the lighted charcoal among the straw at the bot tom, setting it almost immediately in a blaze. They both got out unhurt, and took the horse out of the shafts, but found it impossible to save a single article of the bag gage, which with the carriage, made of wicker work be hind, was entirely consumed. The report of M. Ducos, in the name of the Special Committee of the Council of Commerce, recommended the suppression of the beetroot-sugar manufactories with an indemnity, but, on its being put to the vote on Tues day, this conclusion was rejected by a majority of 24 to 23. The immediate placing of the duties on home made and colonial sugars upon an equality, was then discussed and carried by a majority of 36' to 11. Advices from Constantinople, of 22d ult., in the Aus trian Observer, state that Baron de Bourqueney had visited the Grand Vizir and other high functionaries the day before. Mustapha Pacha had sailed for Syria with 1,500 choice troops. Muchta Bey had accompanied him. Another letter, in tho Augsburg Gazette, says that the new Grand Vizir has dismissed Rifaat Pacha from his post in the Divan, and has replaced him by Sarim Effendi, who is known to be opposed to the late reforms. The National says:—" The 2d light infantry, and the 11th and 59th of the line, between which regiments and other corps a sanguinary quarrel took place at the be ginning of the month, had a dinner of reconciliation on Tuesday at the Salon Francais; near the Barrier° de l'Ecole-Militaire, which was attended by numerous de putations from each corps. During the repast, the bands of each of the above-mentioned regiments played in concert, and among the toasts, the following was drunk with the warmest cordiality:—` A l'union ajamais inseparable entre tons les corps, tant d'infanterie que de cavalerio "—The Commerce says that arrests of the men concerned in this quarrel are still going on. The St. Petersburgh Correspondent of the Journal de Frankfort says---" The treaty with Khiva is beginning to produce good fruit. Caravans now pass in perfect security over the Steppes. In July last, one composed of 29 camels left Bouckara. for the fortress of Orskaia, being the first which has ever ventured upon this jour ney, from fear of being pillaged by the Kirghis." A violent affray occurred the day before yesterday at Vanvres, south of Paris beyond Vaugirard, between some journeymen carpenters and ,some men engaged in the washing establishments of that place. The cause was a drunken quarrel in a public-house, ending in a fight, in the course of which knives were drawn, and one man was dangerously wounded. The local autho rities intervened just as the disturbance was assuming a serious character, and arrested several of t he most riotous. The Journal de Bourbonnais has just been seized for an article considered seditious. The Bordeaux papers state that, on the 9th inst., from 1,200 to 1,500 young men of that city went to the Abbe Lacordaire, in pursuance of resolutions adopted at the public meeting mentioned by us the other day, to congratulate him on the result of his Advent sermons. A respectful address was delivered on the occasion; to which the Abbe replied by an animated speech, which showed that he was much moved at this public testimonial of respect. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Public eiptitton " Who runs may read." LAW AND POLICE, The trial of Delahunt, for the murder of the boy Maguire, was fixed to be proceeded with yesterday, at Dublin. Since the committal a vast deal of additional evidence has been obtained. At Union-hall, William Lewis, who described himself as a lieutenant in the navy, was charged with stealing a watch and 25 sovereigns, the property of John Lewis, a young man employed in Deptford Dockyard. It ap peared he was recognised by the pawnbroker with whom he pawned the watch, and described himself as Lord Waldegrave. He was remanded till Wednesday next. Yesterday at Guildhall, John King, a wholesale but cher lin Newga,e New, or College-market, and William Turk, a retail butcher, who sells at his stall, attended before Mr. Alderman Kelly, to answer the complaint of John Soars, for fraudulently hanging a bolt and a piece of lead in the chain of the scale used at the stall for weighing meat, whereby ho was defrauded to the extent of 6 oz. After the evidence of the complainant, a City constable, and the beadle of the ward had been taken, Mr. Alderman Kelly referred it to the City Solicitor, in order that the defendants might be prosecuted at the ex pence of the City. At Queen-square, Job Mathews, proprietor of the om nibus, No. 2,522, plying between London and Hounslow, was fined 50s. for carrying more than the number of passengers allowed by law. Tho defendant pleaded guilty, and paid the fine. A. notorious thief, of the name of Wright, was com mitted at Lambeth -street to the tread-mill for three *months, for attempting to strip Sarah Haycock, a mar ried woman, of her clothes while in a state of intoxica tion. A policeman had watched his operations, and pounced upon him as he was undoing th© last garmen of the helpless woman. COURT -- FASECIONABLZ. Her Majesty was to leave Claremont this day at eleven, and hold a Privy Council at Winctsor, to make the final arrangements for the Royal christening. Viscount Duncannon arrived in town on Wednesday by the South Western Railway, from Dorsetshire. Lord and Lady Maryborough received a party to din ner last evening, in Saville-row. Lord Lyttelton qualified as a Magistrate for Worces tershire on Tuesday. Sir Thomas and Lady Lethbridge have arrived . at. Paris from Somersetshire. The Marquis of Anglesea has again been a severe sul ferer from the tic-clouloureux. The Countess SebasicaUl, - sister of the Countess Tankerville, is in a state of immediate danger. A large party of fashionables are now staying at Bel. roir Castle. MISCELLANEOUS. At a meeting of the Directors and Guardians of the Poor of the parish of St. Marylebone yesterday, it ap peared from the report read, that bodies from between 20 to 30 had been taken from that poor-house for ana tomical purposes, and no subsequent account rendered of them ; while within a period of 17 months no less that 254 bodies of paupers had been deposited in Globe fields in defiance of the law. The subject, considered as one of the greatest importance, has been laid before the Secretary of State, who has thought proper to appoint a Commission to investigate it. Prince. Albert lays the stone of the New Royal Ex change on Monday. shortly after half-past one o'clock, attended by the Lord Mayor and the other City function aries, and at five o'clock dines with his Lordship and the Lady Mayoress. The snow in some parts of the country on Wednes day, is stated by the driver of the Nottingham coach to have been seven feet in depth, and that he could w ith ease have sat o n th e b ox and ade snow-balls. Nottingham, on this day, was destroyed by fire, in 1140. It is also the anniversary of Gibbon's, the histo rian's death, in 1794. The retreat of Corunna, also con cluded on this day, in 1809, attended by the death of Sir John Moore. On Wednesday Mr. Bishop, the newly-elected Pro fessor of Music in the University of Edinburgh, was in ducted into office, in the presence of the Senatus Aca demicus. During the thaw yesterday, at a moderate calcula tion, upwards of 100,000 persons were employed at once as scavengers. If the New Police Act were as unobjec tionable in other respects as it is in reference to keeping the foot-pavements clear of snow and ico, we should not beak 10 rainy complaints against its arbitrary enactments. POREIGN. While the French Chamber of Peers were discussing the Address in answer to the Speech from the Throne, on Wednesday, Baron de Daunant demanded that the responsible Editor of the Siecle should be brought to the bar for a breach of privilege, contained in an article reflecting on their Lordships' character . as a legislative and judicial body. After a brief debate, the motion was adjourned over till Th urs d ay. U pon this topic, the following are the opinions of the Liberal press:— The Constitutionnel says :—" The incident which ter minated the sitting of the. Chamber of Peers yesterday, is in every sense to be regretted. We can understand that the Chamber of Peers should be a very severe guadian of its dignity ; but is it supposed that in this point of view there will be any advantage on calling to the bar a journal like the Siecle, which is notoriously at tached to our institutions, and openly professes its de sire to uphold them ? The obServations made to M. de Boissy by the President himself are precisely those which the Siecle has put forward, with too much bitterness, it is true, but without changing the sense or the character of them." The Courrier Francais observes:—" The article of the Siecle, which M. de Daunant read to the Chamber of Peers, does not appear to us to be in the slightest de gree susceptible of the interpretation which has been given to it. The Siecle does not say that the Chamber has ceased to be one of the powers of the State ; it sim ply attacks, and with reason, the Ministry which, by multiplying beyond measure the trials before the Court of Peers, makes the judicial functions of the Members of the Chamber more prominent than their legislative func tions. We trust that as the Chamber has taken time to reflect on the proposition of M. de Daunant, it will decide on rejecting it. The National says :—After having read the article of the Siecle, no person can imagine that the susceptibility of M. de Daunant is well founded. All that the Siecle says has been frequently said by 'Journals of a very opposite colour, and even in official speeches, without the Chamber of Peers having taken offence at it. One of the Peers proposed to send the Siecle before a Jury. We do not think that a Jury can be found to condemn it. Will the Chamber of Peers, judging in its own cause, come to a different decision from that which would be given by a Jury? PUBLI OPI. The Times contains an C, article NZ o ti t h e subject of the , New Poor-law, wherein it takes the opportunity of re marking that the resident parochial clergy in general are opposed to that measure; and that they have become more and more opposed to it in proportion as they have acquired a longer and closer experience of its operation. The Post replies to an Anti-Puseyite article that ap peared in the Chronicle of yesterday, charging the Pu seyites with dishonesty in abusing Protestantism and ac cepting its emoluments. " We defy our Contemporary (says the Post), to bring forward any credible evidence that any one who is enjoying the emoluments of the Pro testant Church is a hater or anathematiser of that Pro testantism which our Church acknowledges in its articles." Referring to the frequent and glaring inconsistencies manifested by the Tories in their speeches in Parliament and elsewhere, the Chronicle observes :—" Tory argu ments shift as rapidly as the scenes in a pantomime. Dispel one, and 10, another of a directly opposite descrip tion starts up in its place ! A brief while ago, and ma. nufactures were such good things that they were to be more than tolerated ; they were entitled to that species of taxation in their favour, which is called protection. And now we are gravely told that the manufacturing system is undesirable for a ration, inasmuch as it de stroys the domestic comfort of the masses." The Advertiser congratulates its readers on the ad hesion of Scotland to the Anti-Corn-law cause, and adds that now the Scotch aro fairly embarked in the cause, they will pursue it with a determination not to be daunted by any obstacles, however great. The Herald expresses itself with much confidence on the subject of the approaching Dublin election, and is of opinion that the Tory candidate, Mr. Gregory, is pretty sure to be returned for that city. The Leeds Mercury thus speaks of Lord Morpeth's chances a$ the Dublin election :—" The Liberal party in Dublin are coming forward nobly ; their means, how ever, are circumscribed. The appeal made in our last paper to the liberality of the Reformers of Yorkshire, has met with a ready response, and from the conversation we have had with the subscribers to the Address and Testimonial to Lord Morpeth, we have not the least hesitation in declaring, that if it should be found neces sary, they would, by almost - an unanimous decision, de clare that one-half at least of the Memorial Fund should ' be applied to reinstating Lord Morpeth in an assembly of which, by his patriotism, his integrity, and his states manlike qualities, he was one of the most distinguished ornaments." The Dublin Evening Post says :—" In a contested election, and particularly in an election for the' City of Dublin, is there a man so mad, even in our dear county of Galway—is there a sportsman so rash as to risk his all upon the chance ? Now, we put these questions to Mr. Gregory, Senior—not as a friend, we admit—but as a political opponent. He will be told not to mind us. He need not. We don't Want him. But only let him mind the questions, and answer them to his own satisfaction." We take the following from the West Briton : " There never was a question that has made so rapid a progress in the public mind as that of an alteration in the present system of Corn-laws. Twelve 'months ago it was almost impossible to argue it with the agricul tural body—they refused to enter upon the subject at all—they would have no examination, no inquiry into its merits, no meddling whatever with the question. And now we find the agriculturists themselves coming for ward with proposals for an alteration." The Durham Chronicle draws the following inferences from Sir James Graham's recent speech at Dorchester:— " No effort is to be made to relieve the poor from contri butions which grind them to the earth—no impost is to be removed which is levied on the fruits of humble in dustry. The attention of the Administration is fore stalled in quite another direction. The cormorants who batten on the nation's vitals are to be deprived of none of their basely-acquired spoils. They are to go on thriv ing on the plunder of the State, while all others are has tening to destruction." 33 LECTIONXIERING. A requisition is now in course of signature to Sir Charles Lemon, to permit himself to be put in nomina tion for West Cornwall. Mr. Basset is spoken of as his adversary. 46 30 40 25 95 HALF PAST TWO.

It seems that in the manufacturing districts there has been some improvement recently, although the state of suffering continues very groat. The import trade has not been very brisk this week in the port of London, but this is no evil, as our stocks of produce are suffi ciently large for our wants under the present fiscal system, and we can always with money, which many persons at home like our trading with in preference to goods, secure fresh supplies. An improvement in our export trade is, at pre sent, the " on e thi ng needful." We cannot help noticing with satisfaction; the establishment of Col chester as a bonding port. The extension of the bonding system lessens the cost of various articles of consumption to the poorer classes. Still, however,r. there • ivsoinet reform wanting, in order to prevent the: abuse .oQ - the bonding privileges, and the defraudingOf the; ititeithd: .a ,11r1Orl: THE MARKETS.—(TH'IS,PA.i,X,) n - lirtp9uArEL MARKVet The fOgry yli..§:Froderate, the trade dull, and but little liferaton in prices.

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCIC.--This morn .ing, about a quarter past seven o'clock, the follow ing melancholy accident took place on the river within a short distance of Vauxhall-bridge. It appears that two Young men of the names of charles Phippson and Henry James Phippson, brothers, both button-makers, and who resided in Ebury-street, Pimlico, were proceeding to Ilungerford-market in a boat, when, by some accident, they ran against a coa l b arge wh i ch was lying near the terminus of the South Western Railway. They pro ceeded onward, little imagining what was to follow, when, to their terror and astonishmment, they found that their boat had sprung a leak owing to the concussion with the barge, and in less than two minutes it was filled with water, and went down. Charles Phippson, being an expert swimmer, swam to the shore, but his brother, we regret to state, sank, to rise no more. Every endea vour was • made to save him, but without success. The unfortunate young man was in his 23d year, and was to have be en marr i e d on S un d ay week. Ills brother took off his coat and vest, and dived in after him, but without avail.
