EVENING SUN SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—The Duke of Buckingham has re signed. The Tory snake appears casting its scales. The great champion of the sliding scale is the first to be cast off. "It was only yester day,' says the Post, " that this termination took place of a discussion which, we believe, had en dured for eight or ten days, be4ween the Noble Duke and the First Lord of the Treasury, in whose proposed measure upon the subjectof the Corn-law every member of the Cabinet is understood to concur, with the single exception of his ; rte c e ," It was "only yesterday" that the m:..gorily organ of Political Bucks-onomy in the ing of "th e consolidation e ,‘A . th e strength of the Conservative Ministry," zdtimatum. of Corn-him and declaring, as the policy, that " a regular trade in foreign t CO'CO - al is what must be defeated." Was only a wee' or so back that the Post was in dignantly co , atrainctin, the rumourthat his Grace "was going to Paris, and t h e inference deduced from that rua l ow : that there was any sort, or shadow, of disagreetrient between him and his colleagues. There a timid animal - ,ehich, when pursued, bites Vf the part which provokes tile chase. In like. manner the Premier, in nibbling at the Corn lay, has bitten the " Farmer's Friend" off-- " The deep-revolving witty Buckingham No longer shall be neighbour to my counsels." We compared his Grace, some time back, to a tcp-heavy " joggling" pilot-engine—and pro phesied lie would upset first, whatever became at the train behind him. The prediction has been verified; and it now only remains to be seen whether the Peel cotton bays will avail to deaden the t fleets of this overthrow. It is clear that till; apprehension of those effects must have been '.re , itendous; and the efforts to obviate his Grae',..'s final secession immense—from the pe riod of "the Stanley and Graham mission to Wotton the "eight or ten days" discu.- - klion between the Noble Duke and the First Lord ot* the Treasury. Ni> wonder Sir Hobert Peel has been looking Latterly very Chandos-wkorn. This occurrence," Buys the i)ust, " will be hailed by the opponents of the. present Administratioa, both in public life and in the humbler sphere of general society, as eminently propitious to their views." e may certainly be permitted to re 'ard it as i;oniev:hat confirmatory of our - views of the pr,:earious tenure of Minis terial. union, and a pretty strong pendant to the altered divisions betvteen the several sections of Liberals. Here are a set of Ministers who can't keep together on their first " Speech." Will they ever arrive at a second; or how many scales will they cast at each process? - How much " interest-begotten prejudice" can their political strength afford to par t with ? It is amusing to observe how comfortable our opponents affect to • make themselves under the circumstances that have just taken place, in which the writers of the party really • see •no particular ground for uneasiness. The Post is sorry tiar the split to be sure, but consoles it self by reflecting, that the Duke of Buck ingham, though "no longer a member of the Cabinet, will be still its friend," which is comparatively, if' not positively, the fact, for he will probably do less harm to his late colleagues by leaving them dews by staying among them. But we think we remember that when the Duke of Buckingham joined the Administration he was said to give it considerable weight; and we should be glad to know bow, it' his accession was so beneficial to the Cabinet, his secession can be regarded as insignificant? Do his old colleagues insinuate that his Grace was a millstone round their necks—a weight it - was desirable to throw of; and can they pos sibly be secretly pleased at having got rid of Rini? This cannot be the case, for the Tories know that the Duke and his followers are pon derous, and consequently powerful; it may be difficult to move with them, but it will be an equally arduous task to get on against them, and - though his Grace may have been a dead-weight in the Cabinet, he is still something in the scale, and will be found no less inconvenient as an ob bauaion than he has hitherto been as an incubus. STANDARD.—The Mort; lg Chronicle h i s a long article upon the Dublin City elec tion, in which the letter M is again made to play a great part. Our Contemporary persists in as serting that 600 voters whose initial is this ill used member of the alphabet have been precluded from exercising the franchise, and of course ascribes the defeat of Lord Morpeth to their exclusion. Now, admitting the premises for a moment, and for a jest, we contend that this is going something too fast. The other twenty-five letters have, we may suppose, returned Mr. Gregory by a majority of 403, and letter M must, therefore, divide in the propor tion of something more than three to two, to neutralise the effect of that majority. But why should this unlucky letter be so much worse dis posed to the Conservative candidate than its Cad ntean brothers! Are there, however, really so many as 2,000 M electors in Dublin, according to the statement of the Morning Chronicle? We have before us the Dublin Post-office Directory of " gentry, merchants, traders, &e." This Directory extends to two hundred and fifty pages, containing about 13,000 uarncs, and of these names we find the letter M to Com prise about 1,400, contained in less than 30 pages. Are there more M electors than there are M gen try, merchan ts, traders, &c. in Dublin; and if there are, how does it happen that the gentry, mer chants, and traders of other letters are not so - fairly represented in the franchise ? If M ought to have two thousand, it is plain that the other letters ought to have about sixteen thousand. We request the Morning Chronicle to explain this. There is something curious in the exa c t num b er said to be excluded ; there are, as we see by the Directory, 1,400 M's in Dublin, of the classes probably qualified to vote. The Morning Chro nicle, however, says, that there are 2,000 elec tors, but that 600 were excluded. Does not this appear as if the bona fide M's had all, in fact,. voted, and that the 600 victims were creations of - the same lively imagination to which the world is indebted for the Mullyash and Phillipsto wit murders and the awful Orange outrage upon Mr. Murphy's wig? But leaving the six hundred in the clouds—their native home —we can direct the Morning Chronicle to other solutions of the defeat of its party in Dublin. The influence of seditious agitation had spent its force, and the re sources of corruption had been exhausted. COURIE.II.—At length, and for the first time since the accession of the present Ministry, the Chronicle is in extaties—the Duke of Buck ingham's.° long the mark of its matutinal vitupera tions, so often the subject of its daily lie, has in reality abdicated the functions of office at length ; hence shouts of triumph front the Radical press. There is no longer any doubt that his Grace retires from .o ff ice, but in divesting Wanself of his ?:`.facial insig n i a i t does not ibliow that he separates himself from the Admi -nistration, the members of which are the friends and the associates of all his political life and po litical sentiments. It may serve, perhaps, to chasten the exultation which his secession in spires among his enemies and calumniators t o }mow that, excepting on one question, that of the Corn-laws, the most perfect accordance still hap pily subsists, as will be duly verified by the evi dence of words and deeds hereafter, betwixt the Noble Duke ex-Minister and his late colleagues. Th is even t, however we may lament the cause and the effect, has neither taken us by surprise, nor, we should conceive, any portion of the observ ing public. Whilst we honour the scrupulous fidelity of this eminent individual to cona,:,ctions conscientiously entertained and ever acte d on with unfaltering uprightness of puri,ose, we could not shut our eyes to the fact. 'ant any alteration in the Corn-likivs which sb:ould materially depart from, the ~ •rinciple, or the system, on which at present. they are rzonstructed, must necessarily meet, with the dissent of one who stood so deeply and earnestly pledged against innovation, how clver disposed to concede to a certain limited ex tent their necessary modification ;For ou rown part, we do not hesitate to express our conviction that a large alteration and improvement in those laws is no less expedient than inevitable in the interests of all classes of the co,inmunity. But if we could be persuaded that by such alteration, large and liberal in tl,e test sense as it may be, and as we believe i.c will be found to be, any injury or in justi:e, could possibly he inflicted upon or result to the agricultural, the greatest of all national iirerests, we should be among the foremost to 4.) ffer it our strenuous, however humble, opposi tion) an to contribute to its defeat. ,o f - - - ----- , l everai the Cab i net Ministers visited Sir James uralrin, yesterday morning at the Home-office.

SCOBELL V. PAUMIER-JUDG MENT. Lord DENMAN said that this was a rule which had been ob tained to set aside the award of an arbitrator on various grounds, none of which were in the opinion of the Court suffi cient, and therefore the tole must be discharged with costs. The Con aT was r,',,cupied the greater part of the day in hear ing cases in the. Special Paper, none of which were of any public inte,;„l.. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Feb. 1. BISHOP' V. WILLIAMS. This was an action brought by the plaintiff for the re covery of the sum of 281. Mr. LEE stated the case fur the plaintiff: It appeared that the plaintiff, who was a pei . son of some fortune, re sided in the year 1839 at the house of the defendant, a saddler, at Sawbridgeworth. The plaintiffhad advanced the defendant 201. in the course of that year, which de. fendant's wife received, he being himself at the time in a very delicate state of health. The phintiff afterwards paid 8L for a carpet to be used in his room ; and the debt of 28/. was thus made out. A clerk of the Messrs. Shoolbred, its Tottenham court-road, proved the payment of the price of the carpet by the plaintiff. Caroline Cross stated that she was the niece of the defendant. Witness saw a letter in the year 1839 from Bishop to her uncle, the present defendant, enclos ing a 20/. note, which was taken up to her uncle, who was at the time sick in bed. Her uncle accepted the money. Cross-examined by Mr. THESIGER—Mr. Bishop was understood at the tune to have been paying his addresses to a sister of mine who was also living at the house of witness's uncle. In July last witness's sister eloped with Mr. Bishop, and they had since lived together ; but they were not married. Between June, 1840, and July, 1841, Mr. Bishop, who had previously left Ihe house, had been there very frequently, and used to remain there for days. the often invited persons to spend the evening with him in his room. J. Cassidy stated that he had taken two letters from the plaintiff to the defendant, claiming the payment of the debt of the sum new in dispute. The defendant gave no answer the first time, but the second time he sat I he would pay Mr. Bishop himself. Cross-examined by Mr. THESIGER—Witness is now a pub lican. He Was formerly a train-groo.n to Lord Egerton. Mr. Bishop and Miss Cross were of late in the habit of sleeping at his house. Mr. Williams told witness, when he applied to him for the payment of the money claimed by Mr. Bishop, that he would pay Mr. Bishop himself. He did not say ha would settle with him. Witness might have told the solicitor foe the defendant that Mr. Williams said he would settle with the plaintiff; but he used the word in order to mislead the solicitor. NVitness had seen Mr. Bishop in Court that day. Mr. Bishop was a gentleman who was known on the turf, and who kept horses of his own. This being the case for the plaintiff. Mr. MESMER proceeded to address the Jury for the de fence. The Learned Gentleman commented, in the severest terms, on the conduct of the pla:istiff in this suit. He had never known a more impudent attempt to obtain the verdict of a Jury, or the protection of a Court of Justice. The de fendant, after breaking the heart of one who had trusted in his honour, did not blush to come before them, claiming the payment of a sum of money which he had advanced, under very suspicious circumstances, and had the effrontery to produce as a witness in his favour the sister of his victim, to bear testimony to her dishonour. Since the seduction of the niece of the plaintiff he had lived with her in a state of shameful anal abandoned concubinage ; and now, finding probably his affairs utterly ruined, he hoped to extract front the family he had irreparably injured a sum to which he never had a claim. But the Learned Counsel trusted that he should be able to defeat the heartless attempt. It would be made apparent that the plaintiff was indebted to the defendant in more than the sum now in dispute. The plaintiff had used the rooms of the defendant from June,lB4o, to July, 1811, and had made no compensation to him on that account. There was also a letter in the handwriting of the plaintiff, in which he had himself renounced all claim to the payment of his debt. Those circumstances would be proved to the Jury, and he would then confidently leave the case in their hands. Several witnesses were then produced for the defence, who deposed that in the course of the years 1840 and 1841, Mr. Bishop had frequently called at the house of the defendant, and that he had stopped there, and slept there, from time to time. Mrs. Robinson , the sister of the defendant, stated that the rent of the rooms thus occupied, from time to time, during twelve months by the plaintiff, was U. a-week. She men tioned to the plaintiff, on one occ ision, that she wished the rooms might be let ; upon which he said, " No, I would rather take them myself—in fact, I shall take them." Mr. Robinson, the husband of the preceding witness, stated that he had known the witness to have isited the rooms of the defendant--to have kept his books and his wine there, and to have invited his friends to the house. A letter from the plaintiff to the defendant ;vas then put in and read, in which the plaintiff stated the great embarrassment in which he was placed, and his determination to leave this country for America until his affairs were improved. He also mentioned in the letter that he wished that the 201. he had I lent the plaintiff's wife might be made over to their niece, Mary Ann Cross. Lord ABINGER observed that he did not see how the plain tiff could now come into Court after he had himself, as appear ed by that letter, renounced his claim to the debt. Mr. LEE submitted that he had renounced his claim on con dition that the money was paid to the young woman; but there was no evidence that the condition had been fulfiled. The Learned Gentleman then proceeded to address the Jury at some length, contending that they had not to pronounce their judg ment upon the conduct of the plaintiff, but upon the simple fact whether the debt had been incurred by the defendant . or not. The Jury, after having been charged by Lord Abir .ger, in stantly returned a verdict for the defendant. SHERIFFS' COURT, KING V. STACEY—cr .. .. O4. CON. Mr. STAMMERS, who aPPeP....red as Counsel for the plaintiff, said that this 'an action brought to re cover compensation, i damages, of the defendant, t'or criminal conversatio,;,, "With the plaintiff's wife. He be lieved neither th e plaintiff nor the defendant occupied high positior.. In life. The former had been for 26 or 27 years to a stock-broker in the City, and he had cond.acted himself with such propriety and strict inte gtity, as to gain the entire confidence of his em ployer, and up to the time of the defendant inflicting this Injury upon him, he had lived upon terms of peace and happiness with his family at Ponder's-end. In the year 1826, the plaintiff became acquainted with a Miss Tyler, and in 1831, he was married to her, the union taking place under the sanction of the friends of both parties. It was not until within the last twelve months that the plaintiff had reason to suspect his wife of infidelity. About that time, in consequence of the severe indisposi tion of the plaintiff, it was necessary that he should re side nearer his physician in town, and during his absence, it appeared the defendant was in the habit of taking his meals and sleeping at the house of the plaintiff. But if there was one circumstance that ought to in crease the damages more than another, it was this, — the plaintiff's wife was a woman of an exceed ingly eccentric, and, he might say, weak mind, so that if it should be attempted to be shown that she had not conducted herself with that prudence and modesty which other females do, it was easily accounted for by the im becility of her intellect. And when he told the Jury that since she had been restored to her friends she had been placed ;in a lunatic asylum, and had been under the care of Dr. Sutherland, they would not be surprised at her eccentricity, but would visit the defendant with' proper punishment for the course which he had pursued towards her. Several witnesses were called in support of the Learned Counsel's statement, when the UncTer •Sheriff summed up, and the Jury, after a brief consultation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 1001. The damages laid in the declaration were 1,0001. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Itn. 31. IN RE ALEXANDER lII`DONNELL. The insolvent had been a bankrupt about eighteen months ago ; and now, on his application to be dis charged under the Act, was opposed by Mr. Woodroffe, on behalf of a number of creditors. The grounds of oppo sition were, that in inducing those parties to give him credit, he never stated the fact of his being an uncertified bankrupt ; and that subsequently, on demanding pay ment of their debts, he was guilty of the most insulting and insolent conduct towards them. Mr. Commissioner BOWEN said it was quite sufficient for creditors to.suffer the loss of tliei: goods, without being met with insolence when making their just de mands, and in all such cases he felt inclined to inflict a severe punishment. He should, therefore, order the in solvent to be remanded for six months from the date of his vesting order. IN THE MATTER OF WM. BARNES. In this case the insolvent, who had been already fre quently before the Court, and remanded from time to time to compel him to give up certain property for the benefit of his creditors, appeared in Court to receive judgment, when Mr. Commissioner LAW ordered the conditional dis charge of the insolvent, subjebt to handing the lease of his property to the assignee of the Court. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. An elderly man, who gave his name Thomas Slee, but whose real name is supposed to be Beville, was charged with stealing a Ilamburgh sausage from the shop of Mr. Badcock, grocer, 14, Marylebone-street, Regent street. Charles Clarke, porter to Mr. Badcock, said the prisoner came into the shop under the pretence of purchasing a small quantity of tea, and look a German sausage from the counter, which he put in his pocket. The prisoner was about to leave the shop hastily, when he was stopped, and the sausage found on him. Mr. MA LTBY asked the prisoner if be had anything to allege in defence ? Prisoner—May it please your worship, there are three points in this case I wish to argue. First, I contend the 'shop keeper had no right to spread sausages on his counter, because, being placed in such a prominent situation, they formed a bait to entrap the unwary and hungry. Secondly, I did not take the sausage out of the shop, therefore a case of felony cannot he be proved against me, as it is necessary, in order to sustain such a charge, that the goods should be reix oved from the premises. Thirdly, by the porter stopping me so soon as he did, I had no time allowed me to repent. Had I been left alone my con science might have smote me, and I might have returned back and made restitution of the article stolen in a moment of temptation. Mr. Miuray replied to the three points, and held that none of them in the remotest degree obliterated the charge ; and as it was advisable to learn something snore about the prisoner, remanded him till Monday next. The constable said he had been informed the prisoner bad at one time possessed nearly the whole of the Alpha cottages, Re gent's-park, but . had lost them through indiscretion. UNION-II ALL. Yesterday Mary Corsfield, a tall decent-looking female, with an infant in her arms, was charged with throwing herself into the Surrey Canal on the preceding night. Policeman Whitlaxab, 89 M, stated that while he yr as on duty near the Canal-bridge, in the Kent-road, on the pfevious evening, about seven o'clock, he was informed that sortie per sons had thrown themselves into the canal. He immediately repaired to the spot, and seeing a person struggling in the water immediately under the bridge he ran to the house where the drags are kept, but owing to the difficulty experienced in procuring them he ran back without them, and perceiving that the person h a d sun k, an d must inevitably be d row „ e d if an attempt was not i n stantly made to prevent it, he pulled o ff hi s great coat and j um p e d i n t o th e wa ter at a place w h ere i t was of great depth, and succeeded in rescuing the defendant;kwhom THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 2 1842. he brought out of the canal in a state of insensibility. She was conveyed thence to a house contiguous to tir3 spot, where the usual remedies for producing resuscitation being resorted to, she was in a short period of time sufficiently recovered to be enabled to be sent home. • In answer to Mr. Trail!, as to the cause which induced her to commit such an act, her reply was, that she "had been for sometime past living under the protection of a man who latterly treated her with great cruelty, and kept her and her infant starving, while he was out drinking. Mr. TRAILL said that he must have security that she would not repeat the attempt, upon which her mother stepped for ward, and said that some difficulty would be encountered in getting bail, and that if the Alagtstrate would permit her to be discharged, she would not make such an attempt again. Although the defendant now carried an infant in her arms, vet it was necessary to state, that she placed it on the banks of the canal previously to throwing herself into the water. Mr. MAUL said he should commit the defendant in de fault of possessing the requisite sureties ; and that her impri sonment would, at all events, give her an opportunity of breaking off all connection with a man whom she admitted had driven her to the dreadful alternative of attempting to commit self-destruction.—The defendant wa; then committed. GREENWICH POLICE. Yesterday Mrs. Mary Hewitt, wife cf a master waterman, residing in Greenwich, appeared to a warrant, obtained against her by her husband. The defendant appeared with her head bound with a handkerchief, spotted with blood, and was ac commodated with a seat in front of the bar. Mr. J. Hewitt, the complainant, said the conduct of his wife was so outrageous that he could no longer endure it. She had repeatedly threatened to destroy him, by throwing vitriol over kim ; and several times had flourished razors (one in earls hand) over his head, vowing she would • take his life. Their matrimonial differences had been often brought under the notice of the County Magistrates, and at their suggestion, a deed of separation was drawn up, and he was relieved of her company, en allowing her Bs. per week. On Sunday morning he was awoke whilst in bed, by a noise of glass breaking, and on getting up he found the defendant had broken six panes of hi, hed-room window. He got up and found she had obtained access into the house, where she vowed she would remain, threatening if he touched her to bury a razor in his heart. It was stated by Harris, the officer, who served the war rnnt, that on taking her into custody, she went into a fit, and afterwards, on the road to the station, she fell down and cut her forehead. Whilst in the cell she attemtte , l to commit suicide by cutting her throat in two places, with a penknife, and ultimately she went off in a strong tit that lasted two hour's, and required six men to hold her. A more violent woman he had never seen in his life. Mr. May, solicitor, who appeared for the husband, advised hint again to separate from her, and the complainant offered her Bs. a week, together with a room of furniture, for that purpose. Mr. May had just inquired of her if that would suffice, and the defendant (who evidently had a desperate struggle to re strain her feeling:), had just replied " If 1 don't have better health, it won't," when she fell, as if struck with a shot, from her seat to the floor. , The officers of the Court immediately raised her, and con veyed her in an inanimate state to the outer office, when nearly half an hour elapsed before she returned to consciousness. The Alag;strate ultimately allowed a private arrangement. FROM LAST NIGHT'S GAZETTE.

FROM THE FRENCH PAPERS. , The Berntime states that the brig Ceres has been sunk, by striking on a rock at .St. Nisaire She was laden with sugar, part of which was save, but the loss is esti mated at 600,000 f. A. sailor who was asleep in his cabin was drowned. _ _ Of sixty-vino fires in the department of the Aisne, in 1841 (says the Quotidienne) ) forty-seven are said to have been the work of incendiaries, but only seven persons have been brought to trial on a charge of arson, of whom six were condemned, and one acquitted. M. Duval, an inhabitant of Gancourt, in the Seine- Inferieure, a few days ago committed suicide, after hav ing murdered his wife. He was nearly sixty years of age, enjoyed a fortune sufficient to place him at his ease, was without children, and was believed to live happily with his wife, who was about fifty. His friends are lost in conjecture as to the cause of the catastrophe. The captain of a merchant vessel, recently arrived at Havre froui.Port au Prince, reports th at h e fell in with three schooners, believed to be pirates, off St. Domingo, on the .15th ult. They sailed round his ship, and ap peared inclined to stop her, but ultimately they made WT.

There will also be six arrivals monthly, but the days of departure from Algeria are not stated. One of those perambulating dealers who infest the public places with their stalls, selling trinkets of base metal and false stones, which they pretend are gold and jewels, and on which they put an imitation of the Go vernment stamp, was arrested two days ago at his lodgings in the Rue No:re Dame de Nazareth, and a con siderable quantity of these articles, with the tools and materials for manufacturing them, Were seized. A few days ago a person named Chamblin, who re sided at Corbel], and who was formerly a sergeant in the GOth regiment of the line, was fount murdered in hi 6 house, with a carving knife, which had been used by the murderer, lying by the side of the body. It appears that the neighbours had been disturbed by a noi.-;e in the house of Chamblin, at about one o'clock in the morning. and from the appearance of the place, a severe struggle had taken place between the murderer and his victim, who was generally supposed to be in possession of a con siderable sum of money. Suspicion has fallen upon a person who had been seen to call on Chamblin, but whci was a stranger to the place. The ordinary tranquillity of the -Faubourg St. Ger main was disturbed three days ago by a violent conflict between two classes of journeymen carpenters, called Compagnons and Gavots , who, after beginnin g th e i r quarrel at the Barrier e de Mont Parnasse, catae to blows in the Rues de Vaugirard and Notre Dame des Champs. They mustered about 60 combatants, and could not be separated until a party of 20 soldiers and a squadron of Municipal Guards came and seized the ring leaders and dispersed the rest. There were many wounded, but all except two were carried off by their friends. Yesterday morning, a family at La Villette di sm i sse d their female servant Air getting drunk and being inso lent ; and., in order that they might be immediately quit of her, paid a week's wages in advance. The woman, however, declared that she would remain in the house twenty-four hours more in spite of every body, and went up stairs. After remaining two hours, some of the fa mily went up to urge her departure, and found her deal, having hung herself in a garret. The lotdependant of Brussels says that the owner of the Hotel des Bains, pit Ostend, has had the uncOilscion able impudence to charge the King of Prussia, for stop ping one night, and breakfasting, with his suite of twenty persons, in that house, five thousand f rancs .

The Canttecis attempted to defend themselves, and a desperate struggle took place with poniards on both sides, which ended in the expul sion of the assailants, one of whom WitS severely wounded. Before they were expelled, however, the daughter of the chief of the Canacci family, had been killed by, a musket bell, and two of her brothers were much wounded. The murderers had fled, but the police were in active search for them. " A vessel from Madagasettr" satin tht °lobe, this brought intelligtowee of the loss of the brig of war. Ar tilleur.

The Semaphore of MarscilleS states that a telegraphic despatch was sent off by Marshal Soult early on the 18th inst., ordering General Levasseur to embark in stantly for Oran, with the view of preventing the duel between him and M. Arrighi, but that the weather was so bad that the order did not reach Marseilles for three days, and after the fatal rencontre had taken place. The Brest journals mention that the English collier Harvests, Captain Wilkins, bound for that port, was wrecked in the night of the 23d inst. on the Black Rocks, three miles from St. Mathieu. The Captain and crew of nine men took to their boats, and reached Brest in safety. The Phare the Leman, a Swiss paper, mentions a re port that an attack had been lat e ly made by 14 brigands on the Hospice of the Grand St. Bernard during the night. The brethren of the Hospice defended themselves with courage, let loose their dogs, and killed five of their as sailants, but lost their Prior, three servants, and several dogs. The journal we quote does not guarantee the truth of the rumour. In the remote districts of the Canton of Soleure, says a Swiss Journal, there still exist persons who believe in magic, read the planets, and deal with an elderly gentle. man not to be named to ears polite, with the hope, or rather, perhaps, under the pretence, of finding hidden treasures. At Appenzell, the very seat of ignorance, dwells a physician t who gave a dyer, some time ago, 20 florins for a pitcher of pure blood mixed with copper filings, and a bond for 200 florins more on this precious compound being converted into gold, as he was assured it would be in a few years. The alchymist lately died insolvent, and the physician's bond was found. among his papers. The representative of the deceased has sued the physician on his bond, but it rem sins to be seen whether the condition has been performed by the tonversiOn of the blood and copper into gold. The Conrricr thz Pet sit Valais states that the woods of the southern pat of the department, and particularly Pas and Bertincourt, are overrun with wolves, who have entered the folds, and committed great ravitgest At Hehuterne some children were playing, at the skirts of the village, when one of those animals came suddenly nasong them; and seising a littl e girl, between nine and ten years old, tore her in a shocking manner, and then carried her off to the woods, followed by some of the in habitants, who were alarmed by the cries of the terrified children. On the way one of the shoes of the poor child was picked up, and in the wood her dead body was found horribly mutilated, The Marquis do Clausonette, the Quotidienne states, who had been imprisoned for a month at Nimes, by emsn tence of the tribunal, for having resisted the (+gouts of the Government on the occasion of the census, was set at liberty a few days ago, and iveturned to his residence at I32aucaire. On his arrival, he found the streets lined with the'populace, who had erected a triumphal arch for him to pass under, and who received him with loud ac clanaations. In the evening he was serenaded, arid the air of Vice Henry IV. was sung by the populace in chorus. Two or three days ago, as two labourers of the port of Bercy, were oil their way to Paris early in the morn ing, they perceived on the bank of the Seine, near the Pont d'Austerlitz, the cloak and muff of a female, w hich, not being covered with snow, had evidently lain a search, male, l e i T d dirl s ee ( ys y s d n lry e d a scored ‘ i sv fto v oa e a nto(hi on e t l o r ine d y of a young fe there only a short tim e .

SLAVERY. TWENTY-SEVENTH CONGRESS-SECOND SESSION. ROUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, JAN. 7. Mr. Stokeley, of Ohio, presented a petition for the re cognition of Hayti ; and one for the repeal of all laws wl :ii compelled the people of the free States to support slavery. Mr. Geddings next presented a petition in the terms of petitions presented previously, for a law to prevent the transpo;tion of §lav co twice, in vessels of the United States. Mr. W.. C. Johnson said the question involved the broad question of dlavety, and he was understood to say, that he could not consent to its reception 18111101:kt debate. Mr. Wise and Mr. Adams rose and . addresied the . Speaker simultaneously. Mr. Wise, whose voice Was heard above some half dozen others who we-re addressing the Chair, .inquired whether the petition could lie over, unless it were received. The Speaker's reply was not heard ; but it may be inferred from the answer of Mr. "Wise, who said he rose then to a question affect ing the reception of the petition, to which he. called the attention of the _House. It not only prayed for the re peal of all laws regulating or sanctioning the transport ing of slaves in vesselS of the United States—which in volved the commercial as well as the naval marine—but of all laws regulating or sanctioning the " holding" of slaves—that is, that the property in slaves shall be can celled. And not only this, but it prayed that laws may be passed, protecting the rights of all persons claimed or held as slaves, who may be constitutionally entitled to their freedom, by going, with the consent of their mas ters, beyond the jurisdiction of the State in which they are legally deemed to be slaves. Here was a new aspect of Abolition. A slave passing three leagues to sea, no matter in what vessel, was out.of any " State, territory, or district," and therefbre a petition, praying for the abolition of such slave, did not come within the rule. Was then a slave, passing three leagues from Virginia, ipso jhcto, free ? If this was not abolition, in its worst form, he knew not what was. He asked whether the decks of ail our vessels, whether in the commercial or naval marine, were not part of the territory or the United States, though such vessel might be in the Mediterranean? Mr. Geddings claimed the privilege, with the consent of the Speaker of the House, to reply to the remarks of the gentleman from Virginia. The petition which . he had presented, notwithstanding the construction which had been given to it, would speak fur itself ; it prayed for the repeal of all laws regulating or sanctioning the hold ing of transporting of persons as slaves in vessels of the United States, sailing coastwise from one State to another. It could not by any forced construction be said to pr z,y fer the abolition of slavery in the slave States. Mr. Wise—Look at the latter clause. Mr. Geddings' reply was not distinctly heard, but he was understood to say, in conclusion, that never since the establishment of this Government had the transportation of slaves from Africa been sanctioned, and who ever did it, did so at his own peril. Mr. Wise again called upon the gentleman from Ohio to read the latter clause of the petition. Mr. Geddings replied that the gentleman from Virgi nia could got the floor when no other man upon it would think of asking for it; now he (Mr. Geddings) asked that gentleman to permit him to make his remarks, and when he had done the gentleman from Virginia could take the floor, and reply it' he thought proper. He (Mr. Ged dings) asked permission to speak to the question of or der, and to that he would confine hiS remarks. This pctitioii, then, he assorted, asked for no interference, but that the petitioners might be permitted to withdraw from all interference with slavery—it asked not that sla very should be abolished,. but that they might withdraw their protection from all lawS which sanctioned the trans portatioti glaveg coastwise. That was the very ques tion which was at issue, and he wished it to be under stood that the North did not wish to interfere with slavery. The speaker then decided that the petitiOn came within the prohibition, and could not be received. Mis. Gedditighat, not so much as pray for pro tection for those who are constitutionally entitled to their freed en ? I move that that petition be referred to the Committee on Commerce. . J. Campbell—l move to lay it on the table. , M. Geddings—And I call for the ayes and noes on that meitimi: hoped his friend from South Carolina (Mr. Campbell), would change his motion to one on the question of reception. Mr. Campbell assented, and the ayes and noes were Of Adfed, Mr. Gordon-1 would ask if the latter clause is not already received ? Si f t d. Johnson replied that when the petition was first presented he objeetod reception, and when the Speaker decided that part was not receivable, the gentleman from Ohio desired that the remaining part should be received, on which the gentleman front Bouth Catolina, MoVeti to lay the question of reception on table.--(Cries of " Question, question.") The Speaker directed the Clerk to call the names on the questim of rem:ninth The Clerk (Beginning alphabetically) " John Quincy Adams." Mr. Adams (in much excitement) cried at the top of his voice—Mr. Speaker, I will not answer as it now stands, for I believe there is a trick in it.—(Confusion.) The Speaker then announced the vote to be—ayes 104, noes 86 ; so that the motion to lay the question of reception on the table was carried. Mr. Geldings then said he had a petition to present, which differed from the one just disposed of ; it was a petition .from a number of respectable electors of the state of Ohio, praying that proper steps may betaken to repent till laws, and the alteration of all constitutional provisions by which the people of the free States, the Federal Government, and this nation, are in any way bound to countenance, protect, or aid in any manner, in supporting and continuing the institution of slavery, or keeping human beings in bondage. . . . Mr. Wise asked if that did not come within the rule. Mr. Geddings replied that the Speaker would per ceive it only asked that the people of the free States should be exempted from protecting slavery. If the gen tleman from Virginia admitted that they were bound, and could not be exempt, he would of course admit the constitutionality of the free States to abolish. It was a question, whether the people of the free States were to be bound to support slavery. Mr. Wise—l object to Its reception, and I move to lay the question of reception on the table. Mr. Geddings appealed to the gentleman from Virgi nia to withdraw his motion that it :night lie over for dis cussion. He made the request as a favour to the House and to the nation, but especially so to the constituents of the gentleman from Virginia. Mr, Wise—l cannot extend courtesy to the gentleman so far as to indulge him, in playing the incendiary, to cut the throats of my constituents. Mr. Geddingi—l desire to say one word.—(Great confusion.) The Bpealter (linpatiently)—Gentlenaen will please to tike tiwiP Qe fLts, --- n C dc dtn mefely wigli is say =('' Question.") The Speaker The question is on laying the question of reception on the table. The ayes and noes were de manded and ordered. The Ayes and Noes were then taken and resulted as follow i..;-ikyos. 105, Noes 86, so the question of reception ti=de laid on tilt table, Mr. Geddings, having presented a number of petitions of no public interest, then said he had one signed by 33 citizens of Pennsylvania, praying Congress not to admit any new tat into the "Union whose Constitution tole rates sleety. Mr. Wise—l object to the reception of that petition. Mr. James—And I call for the ayes and nom The Ayes and Noes gave the following result:—Ayes 102, Noes 111 Mr, aedditigs said he WiettOd 10 jtialify himself to those getitionletl who had intrusted to him their peti tion, and he held the petitions of. 100000 freemen, most of them resident in Ohio, where they ranked amongst the most respectable—praying to he rtilievod the necessity of aiding to hold human beings inbondage; but after what had pased ) he sil:Mid feel, justified in withdrawing Mehl trOnt rho Iltitiscl and fetufilliig them ttt tie petitioners, and submit to the people the question how far they would submit to such legislative indignity. Mr. Sherlock J. Andrews offered a petition on the subject of the 21st rule, an d remonstrating against the stigmatising abolition petitions, or treating them in a different manner froin other petitions. Mr. Adams called for the ayes and noes thereon, and asked, with some vehemence, if it was intended to drive the people into a state of rebellion. The question of reception was laid upon the table-- Ayes, 99; Noes,•B9. Mr.. Andrews then attempted to offer another petition on the subject of slavery. Mr. Campbell made the motion as before on its re ception. ' Mr. Andrews said he had fifteen petitions on the 803. ject of slavery, which he supposed would be excluded, if he imight judge the • action of the House this morning, and he should nosy there,i'erey present them: • Mr. Weller presented a petition for the recognition of Hayti. . Mr. Cowen had several petitions on the subject of slavery, but he was unwilling to occupy the time of the House by calling for the ayes and noes, believing that the - same course would be followed,' Ile ) howevet, felt bound to, present thent, and the ktouSe could dispOs6 iif thkri hj it thought proper.

STATE o F TRADE IN PAlsLEy.—‘l,7e cannot this week state much difference in outs trade prospects. The gleams of hope alluded to in our last have not been overeastcertainly, but neither have they much brightened. We are still visited by a few purchasers, but their wants seem to be rather limited ; besides, the prices offered are very low, and as holders are becoming less disposed to make sacrifices, sales have not been to a great extent. Several houses, however, have this week been increasing the number of their weavers, and various other little pre , liminary symptoms, recognisable by persons in trade, in. dicate coming improvement. We are unable, however, as yet to announce any decrease in the number on the relief fund. On the contrary, the number is still on the increase, the total being now 14,657. .It is highly gra tifying to see that the exertions of our kind friends at a distance to ameliorate our sufferings continue unabated. Not only the populous seats of wealth, but the most thinly peopled and poorest parishes in the land are giving their kindly assistance.—Thisley Advertiser. STATE OF TRADE—There was yesterday another heavy failure announced in Liverpool, and several failures were announced in London on Saturday last.

Within the last three or four (Lys accounts of the most de piorable description have been received by the authorities at Lloyd's, respecting the loss of an immense number of vessels during the late frightful hurricane on the evening of Wednes day last, which has not been equalled for many years past. The sicrifice of human life has been very great, and it is feared, from the immense quantity of wreck that has since been washed on the roast, that many vessels foundered during the violence of th t storm. It has been ascertained that upwards of 23 ves sels were wrecked during the night of the 26th ult., as will be proved by the following particulars :—Shortly after the com mencement of the storm a large smack, called the Alicia, be longing to Cork, drove amongst the rocks off St. Bride's Bay, near Milford, and almost immediately became a wreck. The first person who left the vessel was a seaman named James Trance, but he had scarcely reached the roads before a tre mendous sea overwhelmed the vessel, and she was seen no more. The remainder of the crew happily succeeded in saving themselves except the mate, who failed in his attempt to reach the shore, and met with a watery grave. The vessel was laden with ballast, and was not insured. She was on her voyage from Ynughall to Newport, in Monmouth Shire. Amidst the fury of the storm, and at about half-past ten o'clock at night, the brig Vermillion, laden with as general cargo, and belonging to South Shields, which place she only left the night before, ran on to the rocks beneath Pitch Point, at Flamborough Head. The crew fortunately saved them selves through the assistance of the Coast Guard, but the ves sel became a total wreck. About the same time another ves sel, called the Kerton, a brig, belonging to Sunderland, was driven on to the Corton Sands, off Great Yarmouth, and subsequently sunk in deep water a complete wreck. Her crew, consisting of seven persons, had barely time to jump into the long boat before the vessel sunk, and were not picked up till late the following morning. The Braganca steamer, Captain Lewis, which arrived at Falmouth, on Saturday last, with the mails ft om Gibraltar, (luring the hurricane picked up the crew of the brig Chance, of Stockton, from Liveipool, which was lost at the commencement of the storm, and about the same hour the pilots and Coast Guard, stationed on the coast at Falmouth, saw a sloop founder within three miles of the shore, 'and all on board pe rished. From accounts received from Limerick, dated the 26th of January, it appears that the damage done by the hurricane to the shipping lying in the har bour exceeds 10,000/., and similar injuries are reported to have occurred to the shipping in the harbour at Water ford. The other ♦essels wrecked during the storm are as follows : The Druid, belonging to Workington, lost at the mouth of the river Fleet, near Kirkenbright. The ship Stag, belonging to Liverpool, froth Beaumaris, wrecked on the rocks rear Leasowe Castle.
