I Evening w mi nutes ni, - , manigila LONDON : TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1842. 411 interesting debate took place last night in th e ti I.lh -4°ll se of Commons on Mr. WALLACE'S MO -11.,111. tO recur to the old practice of the Members -:::4;1(ing r emarks on presenting petitions. The 1-;" : ti ° 1 1 Was opposed by the body of the COnser -1,:44e5, headed by Sir R. Peet' and Sir R. 1Zil:8) and by some Liberals, of whom Mr. BRO r°ll spoke against the motion, which was - l ir % by a large majority. ... 4 . he argument which seemed to have most eight with the House was the great number I"r°.rDetitions. Sir ROBERT PEEL said 17,000, on ail ZNBage, were presented every year, which made it sible for th e House to attend to them all. i 1t at that duly consider e d, goes furth er ould like t o see i t carried ; it goe s to convict the Commons of inefficiency ; and ha are rattler surprised that Mr. O'CONNELL did r °t s eize it, and state that it would justify a : P , ei ll of the Union. The House of Commons L-2"sts Mainly to redress the grievances of the r°,l)le. O n th at principle the Commons always her on r eing some Bill before they will take .i er lqiutsTY's Speech into consideration. They g m i o that to preserve their 'right to discuss and re „ress ' grievances before they grant supplies. -bluthe statement of last night is a confession that the th Mouse cannot fidnd time to att en d to e e d ll,e va nces of the pe o p le, much l ess to discuss and redress them. It has b ecome of little use, there rore, by its own confession; and is unable now to attain the object for which it was established, and Which still constitutes its principal duty. The union with Scotland, and the union with Ireland, added a third to the population, and probably to the petitions, but it did not add one-third to the hours which the House sits, or facilitate the public business in the like propor tion. As these two unions added to the number of persons whose grievances one body only was appointed to redress, so the increase of po pulation, and the increased interest taken in pub lic affairs, quadrupled the claims for attention and redress that were made on the House. No efforts, however, were systematically made on the part of the House to meet the altered state ofcir cumstances. Now and then a little tinkering was done to the matter, but nothing effectual; and at length the House had no alternative but to take refuge in its present plan of actually shoving the petitions of the people aside, refusing a hearing to those who presented them, and so stifling, if it could,the complaints of the people. The present ac knowledged inefficiency of the House is obviously one of those cases which abound in our country, in which circumstances have completely changed, while institutions have remained the same, or nearly the same, till their unfitness to answer the end originally proposed has become so glaring that it can escape no man's notice. We must add, also, that while the House of Commons has become as it were inefficient, from the increase in the number of the people who make demands on it, and their increase of intel ligence, it has also departed from the ancient simplicity of its institution, and usurped functions which were not originally assigned to it. To grant supplies, and obtain the redress of griev ances, were in the first instance its only duties. Gradually and successively it extended its power, till it has engrossed to itself; by making laws on every conceivable subject, a con trol over all the functions of government. It has in fact, very much extended those functions. A single despot would never dream of meddling with the manufacture of glass and snuff, of cot tons and soap, or of making laws for all the every-day occupations of the people; but 658 gentlemen, consisting of persons acquainted with the ordinary business and affairs of life, some of them retired traders, some of them sti actively engaged in business, and all having an especial eye to their own profit, naturally and necessarily interfere with an immense variety of occupations, of which an ordinary despot has no comprehension. Hence it has happened, that the House of Commons has not only usurped a con trol over all the functions of government known to our ancestors; it has so extended those func tions, that they embrace most of the business of life. ' -;‘,; • . au , m 4 A:, v 0 Ap`rn =t•Cfv - e A.V4 "; ' , 11110:itordi4 ,7 ti• ri 41 4" q i hN L't" - • As it extended the sphere of its operations, gave rise to a greater number of complaints and demands. The people not only petition it to undo what it has done, but to do what it has never yet undertaken. They not only ask it to re peal its own Corn-laws, but to extend the Church, and civilise Affica. The sources, there fore, of an increase in the number of petitions have been numerous ; but there could be no cor responding increase in the power of the House of Commons to attend to them. If, indeed, it had divided itself into Commit- tees, or Bureaux, like the French Chamber, and appointed one to receive Irish, another Scotch, and another English petitions; one to re ceive petitions concerning trade, another peti tions concerning the Church or religion, and another to receive petitions concerning educa tion, the House of Commons would have adapted itself to its new circumstances, and been enabled to perform its duties to the people. As the House departed from its proper func tions, and extended the sphere of its duties, and as society increased without any correspond ing increase in the facilities for transacting busi- ness, so we cannot be surprised that the House has become unfit to perform the part of its du ties now in question. Sir R. PEEL, naturally enough for him, but not in accordance, as we think, with public opinion, said the public de- sired that the House of Commons should pro ceed rather to practical measures than occupy its time with debates on petitions. We think that the House of Commons cannot occupy itself with anything of so much importance to the people, as their petitions. At least it is then listening to their wishes and prayers. When it is engaged in practical measures it may be enacting a Coer cion Act, suspending the Habeas Corpus, filch ing away the rights of the electors by a new system of registration, or passing a Corn-law to starve them out of existence. Or, it may be, wrangling, as Mr. WALLACE observed, for four nights successively on some par►ty question. It► duty is, not to make laws against the people, but to redress their grievances. As it cannot well know what these are unless it listen to their prayers, it is bound to receive their petitions with respect, and allow the Members to discuss them. It is still in the power of Members, as Mr. ROEBUCK remarked, to raise a debate on the question that the petition do lie on the table, and if the majority prefer making laws about what they do not comprehend to attend ing to petitions, we hope that a sturdy minority, though defeated on a division, will endeavour to make the House do its duty to the people. It is some time since we expressed our surprise at the appointment of Sir THOMAS COCHRANE, and ventured to surmise that such appointment was given to him as a re ward for the plucking he received at Ipswich. We have now been informed on good authority that a Speaker's war rant has been taken out to compel his appearance before the Ipswich Committee, and produce the correspondence with the Tory party relating to the sum of money he was required to post before he could be permitted to be come a candidate for the second time. In 1835 the Tories at Ipswich endeavoured to avoid the exposure of their bribery and corruption by sending witnesses out of the country. This they found not only useless, but very expensive. The Continent of Erirdpe was not a sufficient distance. China may suc ceed better ; and their pockets will be saved at the ex- pense of the country. Sir THOS. COCHRANE has himself published a portion of the correspondence ; it cannot therefore be alleged that it does not exist. Will Sir R. PEEL, who affected such indignation at the practices of bribery, of corruption, be a party, however indirectly, to prevent its exposure? Sir Twos. COCHRANE was required to put down a certain sum. He offered 1,0001. This was declined, as being inadequate. Mr. HARRIS was applied to. He acqui e.seed, it is to be presumed, in the terms required. Is it nut of the utmost importance to know what those terms were ? By the arrival of the Lisbon Mail of the 31st of January we learn that another attempt has been made to substitute the Charter for the Constitution at Oporto, the failure of which has been followed by a change of the Cabinet. On the 27th ult. a telegraphic despatch from Oporto, informed the authorities of Lisbon that the municipality of that town, with COSTA CABRAL at its head, and with the entire appro bation of the garrison, had prodaimed the Charter and appointed a Provisior :al Government, of which the aforesaid COSTA CABRAL Vi'aS President. The Ministers were dreadfully alarmed, or affected to be, and went in a body to the Queen. No he roine of romance could have heard the news with greater indifference than her Most Faithful 111AJESTY. Deprec.lting all exaggeration on the subject, she intimated that a Ministerial remonstrance would bring the disaffected. to a. proper sense of their duty. Whether the Ministers were aware that the QUEEN and the Court were at the bottom. .of the Chartist move— ment we cannot tell—most probably they did — but certain it is that they became. terrified at the anti_ Chartist outcry raised in every quarter of the capital. 'They, th erefore, told the Q UEI :N t h at they must either re sign and l eave her to the chat )ter o f a ccidents, or her DID JEsTv must S i gn a proolam ation, de nouncin g as re bellious the p rocee di ngs at Op( •rto. The QUEEN hesi tated, but the Ministers, in ten or for their lives, were urgent. After consulting he r Consort, and seeing that COS TA C ABRAL was n of in a condition to assist her, should a rising of th e p °puke 3 take plac e ; findin g , moreover, that n m a j or i ty of the D eput i es and Senators were not prep are d to ado pt a cour;le which was likely t o embroil P Po r t uga l i n awa r with S a.,;n, her Most Faithful l lAJESTY consented to i ssue the llowing Proclama tion : " Portuguesel—There are p s; who seek to delude you, and, by falsely invoking my name, to drag you on to rebellious move the Constitution, sw orn to by ments, which, in co ntempt of ' Um laws, and flag ran t violation of lily of the fundamental law, p' ine, t will, besides affecting the stabi. lace th, e throne and the public liber ties in the most immine nt peri' L " Portuguese f—Your prosp' City i s t h e o bj ec t o f my utmost soli citude.

THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1842. " Portuguese !—I have confidence in your loyalty and in the affection you profess to my person. Listen to the voice of your Queen. The military corps that have taken part in these move. ments must immediately return to their stations. I pardon all the individuals belonging to them, and all others who have erred, this momentary abandonment of their duties. (Signed) " Palace of Necessidades, Jan. 27, 1.842." Hardly had this proclamation apt eared when intel gence from Oporto set forth that the insurgents were levying troops, and that in a week the leaders would be in a condition to move upon the capital at the head of 6,000 men. Again the Ministers tendered their resigna tions, which was accepted, and a new Cabinet formed, composed of the following Members:— " THE QUEEN. Duke de Palmella President of the Council Jose da Silva Carvalho Finance Baron de Campanha ...... War Jervis d'Atonguia Marine Justice and Home Lepartments not yet provided for. This is not the second nor the third time that the Queen of PORTUGAL has been at the bottom of plots for overthrowing the Constitution purchased by the blood of her long-enduring subjects. She may be once too often, and should it be her fate to follow the fortunes and footsteps of her uncle MicuEL, she will find few honest men to lament misfortunes brOught on by her own treachery: The Paris Papers of Sunday have been received, to gether with Madrid Journals of the 30th ult. They are equally destitute of political news of importance. The following extracts from them are not, however, without some degree of interest : The Editor of the Mode, or the printer of the Journal, has ap. pealed to the Court cf Causation against the sentence of the Court of Assize, of the 31st of January. M. Walsh, director of the Mode, announces that he is going to bring an action against 31. Proux, his printer, for refusing to print his Journal. The Revue du Comitat, a journal of Carpentras, appeared on the 30th of January, with two colums blank.— Constitutionnel. MARRIAGE OF PRINCE ESTER HAZY AND LADY SARAH VILLIERS. The marriage of his Highness the Prince Nicholas Esterhazy, son of the Austrian Ambassador at this Court, with Lady Sarah Villiers, daughter of the Earl and Countess of Jersey, was solem nised this morning, according to the Catholic form, at Chandos House, the residence of the Austrian Embassy, in the presence of his Serene Highness the Duke Ferdinand of Saxe Cobourg, his Excellency the Baron de Neumann, the relatives of the lovely bride, and a small party. The marriage was afterwards solemnized in St. George's Church, which on this occasion was excessively crowded, the space around, and at the sides of the Altar, being filled by the principal nobility in town. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and the Princess Augusta of Cambridge honoured the ceremony with their presence. After the ceremony the Earl and Countess of Jersey gave a sumptuous dejeune at their residence. in Berkeley-square. The different noble families related by marriage; a few of the Foreign Minisiers, including the Netherlands and the Hanoverian Ministers; the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort, and a select party, went from the Church to partake of lunch with the Noble Bride and Bride groom previous to their leaving town.

Redhead AWFUL LOSS OF LIFE AND PROPERTY.- Letters have just been received by Mr. West, the Secretary of the Shipwrecked Fishermen and Mariners' Benevolent Society, giving information upon a most melancholy loss of life at Clifden in Gal. way, and of a great destruction of property of a large body of fisher. men at Dingle, in Kerry, both occasioned by the tremendous storm of the 26th ultimo. The following extracts have been handed to us by the gentleman to whom the communications were addressed : " The enclosed account of five persons lost on the 26th ult. reached me this day ; the widows are all poor, one of them is really destitule. About two. and-twenty individuals were lost (all fishermen) on the morning referred to, much the greater part of whom have left fa milies. All the accounts that reach me I shall forward without delay. On Tuesday week we were visited by the most awful storm that was ever remembered in this country, and almost all the fishing boats were driven from their moorings and damaged, and seven were entirely lost; in every boat there were eight men, who have a share in the fishing, and so many families are consequently left quite destitu:e by the loss of their boat, as they would not be able to replace them. One poor man lying ill with the measles, and one child just dead 1 when the roof was blown off' his wretched cabin, and his boat lost; they are now without food, fire, or means of procuring it, and in a roofless house. Another poor man has lost two boats before in the last three years, and had (by joining seven others) procured one this winter, when that also was wrecked, and he is now, with his companions and their wives and children, in the most deplorable state. From the remote situation of this place, and there being 6,000 inhabitants in the little town of Dingle (mostly fishermen's families), their poverty and distress is beyond description. I hope you will have the kindness to interest yourself in their favour. We understand the visit of her Majesty and Prince Albert to Brighton will be expressly for the benefit of change of air for the Princess Royal, who has been so far in disposed as to render this rather inconvenient removal of the Court for a short period absolutely necessary. His Royal Highness Prince Albert has never yet seen Brighton. GENEROSITY OF THE PMENIX FIRE OFFICE.—On the 4th of August last, Mr. Robinson, of Car nabv, near Bridlington, lost a horse by lightning, at Benning holme, but not supposing he was insured from lightning, said nothing of his loss to the agent at this office until he renewed his insurance last Christmas, and which was then mentioned only in a casual way. 'I he agent, however, presented the case to the Board of Managers in London, who, on receiving the particulars and value of the horse, immediately ordered 50/. to be_ paid to the insured; which was as satisfactory to hi m a s it was creditable to the office.—Hull Advertiser. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND tittbltt Optuton. " Who runs may read." REIGN. Important despatches, ad F dressed to th e Anglo.lndian Govern ment, giving an account of Major-General Sir Robert Sale's cape (Mien in Affghanistan, will be found in The Sun of this day. The details are too numerous and interesting to admit of the abridg ment necessary for their appearance here. On the :27th ult. an insurrection broke out at Oporto for abo lishing the Portuguese Constitution and proclaiming the Charter. The Queen and the Court were at the bottom of it, but it failed owing to the attachment of the people to liberty. The Queen was compelled to disavow all knowledge of the plot of the conspirators, and to eliange the Cabinet. Some day or other the machinations of this faithless woman will terminate in the loss of a Crown which she is unworthy to wear. The war against the Press rages fiercely in Paris. The printer of the Quotidienne was summoned before the civil tribunal of the department of the Seine by the editor of that paper, for publishing in the leading columns a blank, rather than hazard a prosecution by the insertion of articles displeasing to the Court of Peers. The Pre sident of the Court dismissed the case, thus sanctioning the ruin of the paper, and acknowledging in the printer a right of censorship. The Mode, a Paris Journal of Sunday, also appears with two blank columns, the printer having refused to insert the leaders. The Editor, Count Walsh, a distinguished Carlist, threatens the printer with a prosecution before the Court of Caseation. PUBLIC OPINION. The Morning Post anticipates that there will be four grand di. visions of parties on the question of the Corn-laws in the House of Commons, and that the " absolute free-trade men will be the loud est of any," assuming that all the present distress in the manufac turing districts is owing to the Corn-laws. The Times, alluding to a rumour that there is to be a new me thod of emigration upon an extended scale at the public expense, and under the immediate responsibility of Government, observes— " Nothing but our confidence in Sir Robert Peel's Government, and our assurance that, in any plan which they might adopt, the benefit of emigrants would be kept in view as the first object, could have led us to view such a proposition without jealousy and alarm." The Chronicle says, in reference to the approaching momentous discussion, "The very fact that Government is about to deal with the Corn.laws—that same Government which, as an Opposition, re fused all inquiry ;—this alone amounts to a concession .of their mischievous operation on the condition of the country." The Advertiser has a leading article on the subject of the recent news front the East, wherein our Contemporary remarks that the position of our interests at this moment in the East, is such as to imperatively demand the attention of the whole English people, and the most energetic adoption of measures calculated " to arrest the footsteps of perhaps the most giant source of calamity that may ever have overtaken the question of British sovereignty in the East " The Marquis of Normanby last night reintroduced his Bills for the Regulation of Buildings and the Improvement of Boroughs. Her Majesty's and Prince Albert's answers to their Lordships' Addresses were read. Lord Monteap,le, in answer to the Duke of Wellington, ex plained that his motion on the subject of Exchequer bills was not fixed for last night, but for the 17th. Having given the notice before the Report of the Commissioners, his Lordship said it was not an answer to that Report. He stated, in centradiction to a rumour, that Mr. Percival was regularly appointed to sign Ex. chequer bills. The ➢larquis of Clanricarde referred to the late decision con cerning marriages by Dissenters in Ireland, and received from the Duke of Wellington the same assurance that Sir Robert Peel had given in the other House, namely, that a Bill would be immediately introduced to remedy the evil. Their Lordships adjourned. Iu the Commons, a consicterable number of petitions were pre sented for the abolition of the Corn-laws. Dr. Bowring gave notice of a motion on the 17th, to continue inquiries respecting quarantine ; and Mr. Sharman Crawford gave notice of a motion, after Easter, to extend the suffrage. The Attorney-General is to day to ask leave to bring in a Bill to save town councillors, who hold land under a municipal corporation, from being fined. Her Majesty's and Prince Albert's answers to the addr es ses were read. In answer to Mr. Wortley, Sir James Graham stated that Minis ters intend to bring in a Bill to continue the Poor-law Commission' and a Bill prepared by Mr. Fox Maule, with some alterations, to regulate the hours of factory labour. In answer to Mr. O'Connell, who complained of informers being employed in Ireland, and so learning to swear away men's lives, Lord Eliot said the employment of such miscreants could not, he was afraid, be dispensed with. In reply to Mr. C. Buller, Sir R. Peel said there was no inteu. tion to make any alteration in the Judicial Committee of the Priv♦ Council, and he hoped the two new Vice-Chancellors, who had already reduced the arrears from 500 to 9.00, would assist the Privy Council. In reply to Mr. O'Connell, Sir Robert stated that the treaty with Texas had not been confirmed by the present Government. In reply to Mr. Fox Maule, Sir Robert said he was not disposed to meddle with the Scotch Kirk. Sir H. Inglis informed Mr. Hawes, that he means to bring for ward a motion this session for Church Extension. Mr. O'Connell announced his intention of bringing the condition of the Spanish Clergy before the House. Mr. Gladstone stated to Mr. Labouchere, that he should ex plain to-day what be proposes as to Colonial Duties, taut not imme diately as!: an opinion of the House. Mr. Wallace moved to rescind the order of the House, which now operates to prevent discussion on the presentation of petitions, anal, after a debate in which Sir R. Inglis, Mr. Roebuck, Mr. Brotherton, Mr. O'Connell, Sir Robert Peel, Mr. Wakley, and Sir Walter James took part, the motion was rejected by 237 to 50. The Library Committve—after a few objections by Mr. Williams, to the expense of publication—and some other Committees, were appointed. In a Committee of the whole House, Mr. Emerson Tennent moved a resolution relative to the Copyrights of Designs to lay the foundation of a Bill. The resolution was reported, and Bill brought in, and read a first time. The House adjourned at Half-past Seven. MCNEIL — TRADE—COMMERCE. T: 'e continued delay of the Spanish authorities to pay the instal ments due to the officers of theßritish Auxiliary Legion, has caused them to address a letter to the Earl of Aberdeen on the subject, who has made fresh application to General Sancho. COMMERCIAL REporam. The great London Conference of the National Anti-Corn.law League, which opened this morning, convenes no less than 1,000 Deputies, who are literally loaded with petitions for the total and immediate repeal of the Corn.laws. ; The ladies' memorial alone for the district of West Hackney and Stoke Newington, has already received no less than 2,812 signatures. Mr. Sidney Smith announced last night at the meeting of the Delegates from the London Auxiliary Anti-Corn-law Associations, that petitions against the Corn-laws, with 74,000 signatures, would be ready to-day for presentation in the House of Commons.

LAW AND POLICE. Samuel Edge was yesterday charged at Clerkenwell by Mr. Boyd, a piano -forte maker, with forcible detention of one of his instru ments, for which he had paid only a part. The prisoner put in his recognizance to reappear at the court on Thursday, but was ad vised, during the interim, to deliver up the property. At the Thames Police office yesterday, Mr. William Dyer, the owner of the brig Times, which had sailed with a cargo of hides, ivory, nuts, gold-dust, &c., from Dublin to Gambia and London, appeared to answer the claim of Mr. Robert M'Nally, the chief mate of the ship, for charge of services. The complainant grounded his claim upon the circumstances, that, during the voyage, two captains had died or been disabled, and during the intervals he had been obliged to assume the command. The case was finally refer. red to private mercantile arbitrament. LITERARY AND SCIENTIFIC.

It is from the pen of M. Bourcicault, whose lively play of London Assur ance was, it may be remembered, deservedly success ful last season, notwithstanding that it was too much an echo of our earlier comic writers. In the present pro duction there is much less of the imitative. The author trusts more to his own resources ; and though he ex hibits no characters nor incidents marked by decided originality, yet he is not constantly reminding us, as in his London Assurance, of Congreve, Cibber, and more especially of Sheridan. The plot of his comedy is complex, but its leading features are as follow :—Sir William Stanmore (Mr. G. Van denhoff) is a fashionable young roue, who is anxious to rid himself of an incumbrance, in the shape of a young lady whom he has seduced, as he imagines, by a counterfeit marriage. With this view, he applies to his French valet, Lenoir (Wigan), whom he prevails on to escort the deserted girl to India, and there make her his wife. Having so far arranged his plans, he pays insidious court to Miss Merrion, whom he knows to be a rich Irish heiress ; but not being by any means confident of the success of his suit, as she has already evinced a penchant for Percy Ardent (Charles Mathews), he strives hard to get up a quar rel between her and her lover, which may have the effect of estranging them from each other, In order to accomplish these ends, he purposely sets by the ears Lord Daventry (William Farren), at whose house the Irish heiress is residing, and his young wife, by leading each into the belief that the other is faithless—that his Lordship, for instance, is carrying on an intrigue with the young Irish girl, and that her Ladyship is at tached to Percy Ardent. Out of these mistakes and fancies arises the chief fun 'of the comedy. Lord Daventry is jealous—his wife, ditto. A separation is talked of, and the articles are about, to be signed : when the lawyer, Supple (Cooper), who is to sign them, makes the startling discovery that the girl whom Sir William Stanmore has seduced is his own daughter. Of course, the outraged father insists on reparation be ing made to his child, when he makes a second more welcome discovery than the first—that as the marriage between the parties had been solemnised in Scotland, it is valid, however imagined to be otherwise. Sir William, thus foiled, finds that he has no resource left but to be honest, so makes all due reparation to the various parties whom he has offended, by agreeing to marry Supple's daughter, and confessing the intrigues by which he had produced a temporary aliena tion between Lord Daventry and his wife. Percy Ar dent, who has been Sir William's tool throughout the affair, marries the " wild Irish girl ;" and a Mrs. Coin fort (Mrs. Orger)—who plays a very unintelligible part in the intrigues —espouses a certain Major Fuss (Har ley), whose business throughout the comedy appears to be to twirl his fingers, and fidget about the stage as if he had got St. Vitus's dance. The above is as cor rect an analysis of the plot as we can give ; but we honestly confess that there are portions of it which completely perplexed us. Tested, indeed, by his con structive faculty, M r . Boureicault must be pronounced sadly deficient as a comic dramatist; but his smartness — his fancy—his power of ready repartee—his cordiality, of true Irish growth—and, above all, the fine play of his ani mal spirits,—these are the qualificationswhich he possesses in an eminent degree ; and in these are to be found the true secrets of his success. Whether right or wrong, he seldom fails to carry the audience along with him, who laugh, not at him, b ut w i th him. His language i s uni formly neat and perspicuous, sometimes even approach ing to elegance ; and w h en i t i s sent i mental, i t h as t h e rare merit of bei ng so without an effort. A s re gards the characters, Lord Daventry bears a slight resemblance to Sir Peter Teazle ; and there is a little of her Ladyship in his young wife ; but the imi tation is by no means serv il e. Mrs. C om f ort, lik e mos t of her class, is a mere f as hi ona b le nonent i ty , an d M a j or Fuss has his prototype i n M arp lot. The most original character is decidedly' that of the Irish girl, which Ma dame Vestris sustained with great taste and spirit. Her brogue was full of racy humour, soft and oily; and her mingled vivacity and deep tenderness equally charac teristic. Farren played the part of an elderly Benedick to perfection. His drunken scene was admirable, though too much spun out ; and he had the shrewdness net to forget the gentleman in his cups. A few passages of serious import he de livered with a grace and propriety that show how strongly he entered into the spirit of the character as signed him by the author. It is seldom that art and nature play so adroitly into each others' hands—each assisting, not encumbering the other's movements—as in the performance of this very superior actor. Mrs. Orger played an insignificant part with consummate ease and self-possession, and mentioned the fact of her having -" paid five hundred pounds to lodge her poor dear departed husband in the family vault, which was a great relief to her feelings," with exceeding unction. Her matrimonial reminiscences, indeed, were rich throughout. We have spoken of Mr. Bourcicault's viva city and archness of dialogue. We will subjoin a few instances. Percy Ardent, having talked of going to a fashionable party in a cab, his companion replies, o Wh at , go there with a surreptitious straw bear ing King's evidence against' yoa ' your. "strap ?" Again Lord Daventry, remonstrating .with hi s w if e f or her objecting to his dress, and more particularly to his " vulgar indulgency of cloth" in his coat, and adding that he should not seem too fond of her in public, he replies, "Is connubial affection, then, contraband, and to be seized at Hyde Park-corner as illegal import ?" Miss Merrion, speaking of the admirable qualities of an Irish horse, thus sums up her eulogiums :—" To get itsupon are is on impracticable ; to keep your seat when t,isitopossible.„ We close our hasty and imperfect no tice, by saying you back that the comedy is one which. when curta iled—for it greatly needs curtail ment—is likely to have a run, notwithstanding its im probabilities, w hi c h, fortunately t _ are n ot o f a very glaring character. The autho r has shall i h f e true Co m i c sp i r i t, and greatly we be mistaken he do not, ere long, over top all contemporary writers in this depart ment o f litera ture. The scenery was throughout admirable, and the d with great applause. piece receive t i sra N nf o D u i t C h T c t i h V at it has new been proved E.--We learn from n t h e mender-in-Chief there, after a full examination all the fo ur Quartermasters that steered her Majesty's ship compass e mile an e e on the 26th ult., that the cause of her late accident was .t rror of three points in the o o s r i C r C i v A o e r I S r y e E s t li n O o t n F b d e e n s T a t k I t a i s t E f a P e o t V oi i 0 . compass—as these men, togetherrw.i h the Second Master, have f Vindictiv ith the intention all declared that the course ste e e r e b d e was W.

W. by N. course only, instead of a W.N.W.course, and there was not any tide at that time, it being slack water ,and during the 15 to 20 minutes that she was under canvas she was going full five knots. Thus it is evident that nothing but the error in the compass could have led the Vindictive into danger ; and even then, when the Buoy of the Dean Sand was discovered close to her, she would have got clear of it by lulling to the wind, had not the wind at that instant shifted from S. by W. to West, in a squall, which com p elle d her to anchor in six fathoms, about a cable's length from th e b uoy. We further off the shoal through find, that the Vindictive g ot her own re sources alone, not having received any aid from the shore or from our ships; an d that nothi ng but h er setting her courses and slipping her cables as sh e d id, at high w a t er , t h oug h s till blowing a gale of wind , could possibly have saved the ship.— Naval and Military Gazette. We understand the visit of her Majesty and Prince Albert to Brighton will be expressly for the benefit of change of air for the Princess Royal, who has been so far in disposed as to render this rather inconvenient removal of the Court, fora short periods absolutely necessary.

His LORDSHIP took his seat at ten o'clock, and was engaged nearly the whole day in hearing a part heard cause of Calvert r. Godfrey, ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) GARDNER V. 51'CUTCIIEN. This case was opened by Mr. Pemberton on the last day of Hilary I erm. The bill alleged that the defendant had been em ployed by the plaintiffs as captain of a vessel trading to China and the East Indies; that as such it was dis duty to trade solely on the partnership account, but that he had used the ship to trade on his own account, and had applied the profits of such trading to his own use. The bill Prayed an account against the defendant. The defendant, in his answer, stated that the ship was always in ballast when he had traded for himself, that he had never traded to the injury of his employers, and that he had only done what was the constant practice of captains of vessels who were placed in similar circumstances. Mr. SPENCE addressed the Court to-day at great length for the defendant. The Learned Counsel had not concluded when we went to press. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) His HoNoua was engaged during the day in hearing motions, none of which possessed any general interest. (Before Vice-Chancellor \VIGRA:v.) SALHELD V. JOHNSON. His HoNoug pronounced judgment in this cause. The plaintiff was the Vicar of a parish in the county of Cumberland, of which parish the Bishop of Carlisle was the Rector. The defendants; excepting the Bishop of Carlisle, were the occupiers of land within the parish, and the bill prayed an account of turnips, rye-grass, clover_ grass, and all other grasses not included in great tithes. A great part of the plaintiff's case rested upon Lord Tenterden's Act, and his Honour decided that in that respect the Vicar had failed to esta blish his claim. The Rector had put in a disclaimer, and the tithes being due to some one, he felt himself at liberty to use that dis claimer, so far as to give the plaintiff the particular tithes which were claimed by the bill; but he could not give effect to the dis. claimer as proving the plaintiff's title to other tithes, for that would be to read the answer of one defendant as against a co defendant. Whatever private opinion he might entertain as to the Vicar's right in this case, he thought he should be going further than the Court had hitherto gone, if on the face of the terriers, and under the circumstances of the case, he were to hold the Vicar's title established upon the evidence before him, unless he were to give effect to the Rector's declaimer in aid of the occupier. The plaintiff, therefore, might in this case take a decree for the particular tithes, without costs ; unless, for the pur. pose of establishing his right, he thought fit to take an issue. After some discussion at the Bar with respect to the issue, it was arranged by Counsel that the case should be mentioned at a future day. QUEEN'S BENCH—(THI6 DAY.) SEWEL V. NIX ♦ND ANOTHER. The plaintiff is an attorney and clerk to the Board of Guardians of Welchesden, in Cambridgeshire, and the defendants are the overseers. This action was brought to recover the amount of a bill of costs for legal business done by direction of the Guardians. The defence was, first, that the defendants were not liable for the order of the Guardians; secondly, that they had not consented to the proceedings for which the claim was made; and, thirdly, that in any case the plaintiff was not entitled, inasmuch as the business was unskilfully done, and without any advantage. The principal items in the bill were charges fur travelling and other expenses in endeavouring to compel a person at Gainsborough, one hundred miles off, to support his mother, who was in the workhouse at Welchesden. The LORD CIIIEF JtisricE suggested that the case had better be referred, so that both parties might be examined before the arbi trators, by which means the truth would be better got at, than by a trial in open Court. Mr. JARVIS for the plaintiff having expressed his readiness to take that course, Mr. HUMPHREY consented to a verdict, subject to a reference, EXCHEQUER —(This DAY.) PERRY V. MITCHELL This was an action brought by Mr. Perry, the celebrated steel. pen manufacturer, against the defendant, for imitations of certain pens for which the ilaintiff had taken out patents. The Attorney. General, Mr. Stamers, and Mr. Montague Smith, appeared for the plaintiff ; and Messrs. Kelly, Jervis, and Beckett, for the defendant. It appeared from the opening speech of the Attorney-General, that Mr. Perry took out a patent, in 1832, for seven kinds of pens, all formed for the purpose of rendering steel pens more flexible than any that had before been manufactured. In the year 1833 he took out another patent, for what he called the " Fountain Pen," which was formed with a view to retain in the nib a greater quantity of ink, Of the same species of pens for which he ob. taMed a patent in 183'2, the most esteemed was that numbered 2 ; that pen and the " Fountain pen" had been imitated by the de fendant, a steel_pen manufacturer, at Manchester, and the present action was brought in consequence. James Cocking stated that he was a mechanical draughtsman at Birmingham. In the month of July, 1840, he went to Mr. Mitchell's in that town, and ordered a general assortment of steel pens. He received some of them, but not all the sorts he had be spoke. Ile went again, and ordered a further assortment. The order was complied with ; and among those he received were cer tain pens, which he would produce. (The witness here handed in samples of pens, which were of the description the plaintiff com plained of as an infringement of his patent.) Cross-examined by Mr. KELLY— Witness had been a mechanical draughtsman for the last three or four years. He had known Mr. Perry's patent since that time ; but not previously. The variety of forms of steapens is very great. Abednigo Follett stated that he had been for the last twelve years clerk to the plaintiff: There is a great demand all over the world for the patent pens of Mr. Perry. The plaintiff had first taken out a patent in the year 1631 ; and he afterwards took out patents in 1832 and 1333; the latter patents being im provements on the former. The patent of 1831 consisted merely in a hole at the end of the slit, and by the suhsequent improve. melds slits were cut under the shoulder of the pens. The plaintiff employed five or six travellers in his business. The patent of 1833 was taken out for the "Fountain Pen," which was formed for the purpose of containing a reserve of ink. Cross-examined by Mr. Jsin is—There had been a large de. mand for the " fountain pen ;" but it has somewhat fallen away for the last two or three years. It consists in attaching a plate over the hollow of the pen, for keeping the ink suspended. There are three modifications of the " fountain pen." Be-examined by the ArrottNEr-GENansL—A greater number of the pens No. ii had been sold than of any other pens ever manu factured. They are sold at the rate of nine for 2s. ; and there are sometimes 4001. worth, or 36,000 pens sold in a week. Thomas Daft stated that he was a mechanic at Manchester. He was the inventor of the " patent Perryan ink•stand." Witness considered Mr. Perry's patent pens a great improvement on the or. dinary metallic pen. The pens of Mr. Mitchell's shown to wit. ness were similar in form to those of Mr. Perry. Mr. Minair, the well-known artist in pea and ink drawing, being examined, stated that until the Perryian pen wa■ produced under the present patent, he newel met with any steel pen which he could use in his peculiar art. Before that he was obliged to use crow quills, which could not be made by many degrees so good as Perry's pen. He had tried all the other metalic pens lie knew of, but it was not to use but to reject them. Some beautiful specimens of Mr. ➢linair's work with the pen in question were handed to the Court, and the Jury, examined them through a magnifying glass, and seemed to express to each other considerable admiration of the excellence of the work. Mr. Carter, a civil engineer, and several other witnesses con. nected with the business of metallic pen-making, were called to prove the superiority of Perry's pens above all others, and the imi. tations of them in those made by the defendant. Mr. KELLY, for the defendant, argued at great length, that the patent was void, in consequence of vagueness and generality in the specification, from which he contended no person could be able to make the article without experiments ; and, further, that the im. provcment claimed by the plaintiff, was not a subject for a patent, as his principal peculiarity, the employment of slits and holes to give flexibility, was resorted to in various forms before the plaintiff, and it would be impossible to describe a new variation of form or direction in so small a space. The COURT reserved these points, his Lordship, however, cx pressing his opinion as unfavourable to the objections. COMMON i'LLAS.-(THIS DAY.) PON7IFEX V. liIGNOLD. This was an action against the Secretary of the Norwich Union Insurance Company, to recover the sum of three thousand pounds, being the present value of a policy of insurance on the life of the plaintiff. The action was brought on the ground that the plaintiff was induced, by deception and misrepresentation as to the state of the Company's affairs in 1830, when the policy was effected. For the plaintiff it was proved, by Mr. Alderman Farebrother, Mr. ltidway, and others, that when he effected the insurance one of the officers through whom it was done, held out to them an ex. pectation that he should receive a periodical bonus, which was never realised. The SOLICITOR -GENERAL, for the defendant, submitted that as this was an action of fraud brought against the defendant as an individual, and not against the Company (who might be supposed Haile for the statements of their agent), there was no case whatever to make him liable for the statement of which he knew nothing, made by a person over whom he had no controul. The Learned Solicitor, therefore, contended that the plaintiff should be nonsuited. Mr. Elms observed that the prospectuses issued and signed by Mr. Bignold, were given to the plaintitflay the London agent, and contained the deceitful representation. The SOLICITOR-OSNURAL replied that the declaration affirmed that plaintiff asked the defendant were the statements of the pros pectuses true, and that the latter said they were. Now, of that there was not a tittle of proof, and yet it was sought to make him pay the damages and coats for an act of which he absolutely knew nothing. Mr. Sergeant CHANNEL, at great length, followed on the same side. Mr. KULLY, in reply, contended that the defendant having, as Secretary, issued the prospectuses, and caused them to be circulated through the agents of the Company appointed by him, he was an. swerable for the statements contained in them and confirmed by his representations. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL further submitted that, as the cause of action (if any) occurred in 18111, and as the action could have been brought in that year, the Statute of Limitations was a bar to this action. His LORDSHIP said that undoubtedly as the cause of the action was complete In 1831, it had been decided repeatedly that it was no answer to the Statute of Limitations ; that the misrepresentation was not discovered until within six years past, and he should there fore have to direct the Jury to find for the defendant, unless the plaintiff wished to bring another action upon an amended decla. ration, in which case it would be best for him to elect to be non suited. After a short discussion, Mr. ERLE consented to the nonsuit, intimating that he meant to contest the judgment of his Lordship at a future time, and ac. accordingly the plaintiff was called. STATE OF THE HOSIERY AND LACE TRADES. —lt is painful to state, that notwithstanding th month of February has arrived, the demand for both hosiery and lace goods is rapidly decreasing ; shops that some time since had half employment now wholly stand, whilst a fever for emigra tion prevails amongst the young men, and it is only from the want of means to pay their s passage that it is not general. In the midst of this distress we are sorry to state that the manu facturers of both hose and lace are continually compelled to meditate reductions in the wages. The wrought cotton hose hands have submitted almost without a struggle to the reduc tion of 3d. per dozen on their wages. Another very large house has given notice of its intention to reduce the price for making cut-up hosiery.—Nottingham Review. SCOTT MONUMENT.---We are delighted to perceive that the laudable exertior:s of the Sub-Committee in London are likely to be crowned with success. The senti ments and the intelligence contained in the letter which we publish from the Hon. Charles Augustus Murray, the Master of her Majesty's Household ;to Mr. Dick, the Convener of the Auxiliary Committee, must be flattering to all our readers : Windsor Castle, Feb. 1, 1542. Sia,—l have the honour to inform you that, agreeably to your request, I have submitted the particulars regarding the Scott Monument to the Queen and Prince Albert, the result of which has been, that her Majesty has been pleased to pre sent the fund with one hundred pounds, and his Royal High ness has given twenty-five pounds to the same object, both of which sums I transmit this day, to Mr. Castle, in London. Be assured that, as a Scotehman, I have felt proud in being made the humble instrument of obtaining the Royal protec tion and countenance to an undertaking so praiseworthy; and believe to be sincerely i n t ereste d i n i ts success .— yours, .

We trust the renewed rumours that the Government intend to repeal the Penny Postage Act are without foundation ; but unless the public show a determination to resist any increase in the rates, we much fear that this is one of the means by whi c h it is proposed to make up the deficiency in the public income. It is reported that there are fresh symptoms of disorder in the " united cabinet," on the subject of the corn- laws. POST.—The failure of Messrs. Boyd and Co., of Calcutta, noticed in the Bengal papers, being an extensive one, will, it is feared, be felt with much severity by the connections of the house in different parts of the world. We see that a meeting is called of the Mexican bondholders, for Friday next, to deride upon the proposition of the agents, Messrs. Lizardi and Co., which has been lately before the public. As it is intended to issue debentures for two years' dividend s , out of the four overdu e , the other two years being relinquished in consideration of the French blockade, we hope that care will be taken to secure to the bondholders payment of the said debentures, principal as well as interest, before the general resumption of dividends, to take place in 1844. It is said that a protest has been entered by certain bond holders against the transfer of the money in the hands of Messrs. Baring and Co. to those of Messrs. Lizardi and Co : , until the sanction of a public meeting shall have been given to the proceedings of the Committee, and that wrote favourable terms will be contended for; but, from the premises here laid down, it is evident, that, to reject the proposition of the rlexi cans, which embraces in its clauses more than elicumstances seem to justify, would be an act of the greatest imprudenee, inasmuch as it would endanger alike the present and the future interests of the unfortunate bondholders at large. ADVERTISER —The people of Birmingham have for some time past had occasion to be dissatisfied with the Post. office arrangements connected with their town, and a Commit tee of the Town Council has at last drawn up a Report en the subject. In Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, and Bristol, there are three deliveries a day. A memorial to the Postmaster- General has been adopted, but not yet presented. It ap pears from the inquiries of the Committee that there are two deliveries each day by letter-carriers within that part of the borough, which lies within a circle of a mile and one-sixteenth from the centre of the town (St. Philip's Church) ; that the first delivery commences at half past eight o'clock in the morning, and the second at half-past five in the evening ; that there are eighteen letter-carriers employed to deliver letters within the said circle, and that the time occupied by each delivery averages three hours. With out the above-mentioned circle, but not to the extent of the boundary of the Borough, there is but one delivery of letters each day, and that at a late period of the day, and an additional charge of one penny on each Jotter is demanded on all letters delivered out of that circle. During these inqui ries the Committee have received verbal communications from several and letters from respectable correspondents, com plaining of the post-ollice regulations in the Borough, parti cularly as to the inhabitants residing in the outer district, in consequence of there being but one delivery, and that at so late a period of the day, and the extra charge of one penny. The present regulations preclude any extensive correspondence by the inhabitants through the Post-office, for letters posted at the principal office at nine in the morning are not delivered in the outerpart of the borough until late on the following day ; whereas, it is extremely desirable that facilities should be afforded so that such letters might be received and answered on the same day. And the Committee respectfully suggest that the regulations of the Poet-office should extend to and comprise the whole of this borough, aid that there should be three deliveries of letters a day ( Sunday excepted) within the distance of Lne mile and a-half trom the Post-office, and two deliveries a day in the outer and more remote districts of the borough, free from any extra charge for such delivery. SUN.—There "as a re-action of to 1 per cent. in the Funds to-day, in consequence of the unfavourable impression oecasiined by the intelligence from Atfghtt iiistan. For the present, therefore, the tendency to ss ards improvement has been completely checked. For immediate transfer Consols realised 881 to 89k, cloing at 88i to 89; and for the Account, 89 to i; the latest bar gain being at 69 to ri. The unfunded debt steadily main tained itself at 17s. to 19s. prem. No transactions were reported in East India Stock, which, however, was of course nominally lower, being called 246 i to 247 i. India Bonds did not go lower. They were marked 10s. to I Is. premium. Bank Stock was good at 168. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. realised 981 to 981 ; and the Three per Cents., 89 : : : to 89i. Long Annuities were 124 to 11-16ths. The Foreign Stock Market was not so animated, taking the general business ; but there was more specu lation at reduced rates in Spanish Bonds, and still a fair demand for Mexican. The former was marked 2.1/- to II ", and the latter at 324 to 32 ; Colombian Stock was steady at 22 ; Brazil Bonds (the 100, as they are desig nated) brought 65 ; Chilian were firm at 711 ; Russian Stock obtained 1154 ; French Three per Cents. rose to , 79 50 ; and Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents. remained at 51f to t. Shares were better maintained than might perhaps have been expected. London and Birmingham Railway Shares were at an improvement to 82 and 83 premium. Great Western brought 2tii, and South Western, 21 prem. ; Brighton were 12it ; Blackwall, 13i ; Midland Counties, 16 ; and North Midland, 28i discount ; Lon don Joint Stock Bank Shares were 2 premium ; and National Provincial Bank of England, par. SUGAR MONOPOLY. In comparing the price of Sugar produced in foreign plantations with that of Sugar made in the British West Indies, it has been usual to take as a basis of calculation their respective values in the Mincing-lane Market—that is, after certain charges, such as freight,' insurance, dockage commissions for management and sale, &c., have been added to the prime cost of the Sugars. This mode of comparison ans,ers well enough to demonstrate what excess of price the Sugar monopoly compels the British to pay, over and above the foreign consumer, for an ar ticle of a similar quality, and in every respect of the same value, in the markets of Europe ; but it fails to show the actual per centage advantage the British \Vest India Planter enjoys over his foreign competitors; the extent of this advantage should, however, be clearly ascertained in order that the public may understand the quantum of protection which the contemplated alteration In the Sugar duties will confer on British colonial interests. For instance—Sugar raised in Porto Rico (superior, in quality to the bulk of Sugar imported from Demerera, Berbice, and the Leeward Islands), i. offered in Mincing lane for 18s. per cwt., which price includes th e c h arges alluded to, while the Gazette quotes the average price (the like charges also included) of Sugars imported from the British West Indies at 38s. per cwt., exhibiting an excess of 20s. per cwt. in favour of the latter, or about 110 per cent. ; but if the charges which have been added to the prices of these Sugars, be again deducted, the per centage difference will very considerably exceed 110 s. per cent. Assuming from the proximity of the two islands, Jamaica and Porto Rico, that the charges of importation into Great Britain are of an equal amount, and taking that amount from the British West Indian's own statement to be Bs. 6d. per cwt., we proceed to a.- duct Bs. Gd. from the ex.duty price of both kinds of Sugar, as above quoted; by which process the real price to the respective producers, before the Sugars are put on board ship for Great Britain, will be ascertained. Thus, from 18s., the price per cwt. of Porto Rico Sugar, is to be deducted Bs. Gd., leaving 9s. 6d. ; and from 385., the price per cwt. of British Plantation Sugar, Bs. Gd., leaving 295. 6d., exhibiting a per centage difference in favour of the British over the Porto Rico West Indian planter of more than 200 per cent ; the monopoly, there fore, confers, and has, from time immemorial, conferred on the British three times the valve the foreign West Indians obtain for their Sugar ; in other words, a planter in Porto Rico will sell three hundred weight of Sugar for the same amount of money which his British compe titor in Jamaica obtains for one. In apportioning the duties on Sugars from various parts of the world, this view of the case cannot be too strongly urged on the attention of the Legislature, the more especially as the West Indian Proprietors will not fail to clamour loudly for what they will be ,pleased to designate "protection," meaning, all the time, per mission, thro►~7h the powers of an Act of Parliament, to plunder the community at large. Protection ! indeed, on what plea can the West Indians ask for protection ? Their old story about the extra costs of free labour will not now go down with the public, able writers having abundantly proved that it is far cheaper for them to cultivate their plantations by free than by slave labour. Let these monopolists learn to protect themselves. Let them, if they wish to thrive, relinquish the luxuries en joyed through an extensive and ruinous system of ab senteeism. Let them proceed, forthwith, to the West Indies, reside on their estates, and superintend the work, ing of them. While they remain in this country, aping their betters, any pecuniary aid would be worse than useless, for it would, in fact, be taking so much money from the industrious and deserving to encourage with it the indolent and careless. February 8, 1842. LORD BROUGHAM.—Lord Brougham was the only man in either House of Parliament, who, on the opening night of the Session, gave a genuine echo to the voice of the millions out of doors. He alone'boldly declared the principle of total repeal of the Corn-laws ; at.d he alone had the cou rage to insist nn the necessity . of so extendi ng th e f ranc hi se as to admit withi n th e pa l e o f the Constitution the great body of the working classes. Lord Brougham said that the time was rapidly advancing when they must consider the latter ques tion, and break down the line of distinction which now sepa rated the enfranchised from the unenfranchised classes, if they would preserve the peace and harmony of society. Of course, the words of Brougham fell upon unwelcome ears in the House where they were delivered; but they will not fail to give hope and courage to the millions without, who now look anxiously for a Deliverer to lead them into the promised land of peace and plentifulness. If there he one man now living, who is more than another fitted by his genius, his talents, his eloquence, his statesmanlike qualities, his powers of leadership, and his long-tried services in the cause of the people, to lead us onwards to enfranchisement and freedom, Lord 13roughaat Is that man. —Leeds Times.
