It is said that there will he another division to night, in the que•tion to be proposed by Lord Jonx BussEi.r. —that Sir ROBERT PEEL'S scale be negatived. The Bishop of EXETER had the first brush with his friends in office last -night, and we are not at all sorry !hat he came off second best, for a more meddling, vain, and arrogant priest has not sat in Parhatnent for several reigns. Possibly the conduct of the parties of whom he complained was bad, and abuses existed in the Crediton Union, but the misfortune of such a question being taken up by a man like his Reverence of EXETER is that people cannot give him credit for sincerity, and are always afraid that, under the semblance of mercy or justice, he has some sinister purpose in view. In fact, Lord WHAIINCLIFFE told him as much. The case had been allowed to stand over since 1840, and is now raked up at the time when the New Poor dew was about to be brought before Parliament. "My firm belief," said his Lordship, "is that this ease was got up, and that for s ,me reason which he would not particularize." Dr. PhiLmeovrs was thus made a VIrtiCETS crintinis. it is gratifying to see the rebuffs these Tories get front one another, in reference to this Poor-law.

The foundry employs 12 English workmen, besides the Director and 50 Spaniards. On the 13th the "Battalion of the Constitution," lately or. ganized in Madrid, left that capital fur the frontiers of Portugal. A battery of artillery had also marched for the same destination. Letters from Barcelona state, agitati , in again prevails in that city, and that the Carlist partisans are beginning to assemble in the mountains of Catalonia. One band is said to amount already to 200 men. In a letter from Greece of the 4th inst. we find the following:— " The Government is paralysed. The press cry cut for a change and for the expulsion of the Bavarians, who, to the number of 212, fi!l all the Ministerial bureaux, and are dearly paid. The press demand a budget, which, for six years, has been refused. Mavrocordato has received his appointment and instructions for Constantinople, and leaves by next French steamer. PAIRLIAIVIZN Lord Monteagle postponed his motion concerning Exchequer. bills last night, on account of the absence of the Duke of Welling. ton in his county. _ _ A brief discutsion took place on the law concerning Dissenters' Marriages in Ireland. Lord Campbell recommended that the Bill fur settling the question should be introduced into the Douse of Lords. The Lord Chancellor said the Bill was prepared, but he had not considered the question of bringing it before the Lords in the first instance. The Bishop of Exeter entered into a long history of the abuses in the Crediton Workhouse. Lord Wharncliffe defended the Government from any supposition of wishing to defend such abuses. The petition, (on presenting which the discussion atose, was laid ou the table. In the Commons Lord Stanley stated that a riot had taken place in Kingston, Jamaica, on the Christmas day, attended with loss of life, all caused, it seems, by the meddling of the Mayor. This is only one of the great multitude of examples of the zeal of magic. trates being infinitely more mischievous than the fun and frolic of the people. Lord Eliot obtained leave to br:n;',and brought in a Bill, which was read a first time, and ordered to be read a second time to-day, to settle the qu,tion of Dissenters' Marriages (Ireland). Mr Muntz's motion to allow strangers to Le present at divisions, was negatived by 136, the numbers being 187 to 51. Sir Robert Peel took the Conservative side, and stood up for ancient and ab surd practices. LAW INTELLIGENCE. Colonel SiWhom moved for an account of the number of days Lord Monteagle had attended at the office of Comptroller of the Exchequer, which, after a few words from the Chancellor of the Exchequer and Mr. Paring, was granted.

U. is of the utmost importance to tranquillize the minds of the very intelligent body whose moral and reli gious feelings were so shocked by the recent decision of the Irish Judges against the legality of mixed marriages, celebrated by Presbyterian clergymen. The Noble Se cretary for Ireland has obtained leave to bring in the Bill, to the subject of which we are happy to learn that the particular attention of the law officers of the late and pre sent. Governments has been directed. We trust that when the Bill has reached the House of Peers, Lord BROUGHAM will take it under his especial protection, and so extend its provisions as to include marriages ce lebrated by clergymen of all religious denotninations. The necessity that exists for such a Bill is a disgrace to the Legislature of this country. AUGMENTATION OF THE ARMY.

This was an action brought by the CorporatiOn of London against the Pewterers' Company, tor an obstruction a f light in a house in the neighbourhood of Leadenhall Market, the property of the Corporation. The French Journals intimate, and we are well dis posed to believe them, that the French Government kill not ratify the Treaty for the suppression of the slave- trade. French jealousy of England is - too great to allow the Cabinet to adopt this just and humane measure. There is no political news in the Paris paperS. M. DE LAMAIITINE, the poet, has been named Pre,ident of the Railway Committee. This has given rise to some jokes in the political circles of the: rench Metropolis. They are, however, very silly. The greatest poets have ever been, and will ever be, men of the greatest common sense. A true poet has the largest capacity for business. It appeared that in the year . lBls the 'muse in question had been riibui:t with windows, which commanded a view of some adjoining premises of the defendants. Complaints were made in consequence by the Company a few years after, and negotiations had been pens!. ing upon the subject between them and the Corporation up to the year 1820, which remained unconcluded. In the year 1840 the Company renewed their complaints, and subsequently erected an obstruction, which shut out the light from the house of the plaintiff; and the present action was brought to try their right to take such a proceeding. These facts having been proved fur the plaintiffs, and adulated in the opening speech for the defence by the counsel of the Company, The LORI) Cuter JUSTICE said that it appeared that the Corpo ration had been left for twenty years in undisputed possession of the right to have the windows in the house in question, and there. fore that right, according t ) the statute, could not be disturbed. The case for the defence was abandoned in consequence of this declaration of the opinion of the Lord Chief Justice, and the Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiffs. On searching this man's premises the policeman could find no braver, and Mr. TRAILL (after consulting with Mr. Christy) sentenced the youth to two months' hard labour in Brixton gaol.

It appeared that the plaintiff is abuilder, and had been en gaged by the defendant to complete some houses in Hyde park. square. The defence set up was, that the plaintiff' was not the person engaged to do the work, consequently he was not in a posi tion to bring the action. It was further alleged that the order was given by the foreman of the defendant, and he ought to be liable for the amount. This failing in proof, the verdict was taken for the plaintif for the full amount. - A ust ralasia lonian State ... 25 PRICES OF IRISH STOCKS, DUBLIN, FEB. 23. 3 per Cent.

" In the evening of a long toilsome life, if a man were to be obliged solemnly to declare what, without any exception, has beeu the most lovely thing which. on the surface of this earth, it has been his good fortune to witness, I conceive that, with out hesitat'on, he might reply, ' The mind of a young child.' "We observe with what delight a child ht holds light—co lours—flowers—Ault, and every new object that. meets his eye; and we all know; that (before his judgment be permitted to in terfere) for many yea's he feels—or rather suffers—a thirst which is almost insatiable.

At the beginning it was proposed to subject beet-root sugar and that of the sugar cane to an r qual duty, indemni fying the beet-root sugar manufacturers for the injury which this sudden transition ought to have on their interest. At Inc,ent it is con t em pl a ted to decree the absolute prohibition of the manufacture of indigenous sugar; and the indemnity which, in the first plans, it appears to have been the intention to tix at forty millions of francs, will be rather larger in the new plan. It appears from an essay on the remounting of the ca. va i ry, published by General Oudinot, that in the space of eighteen years, from 1823 to 1840. France has im. ported 343,000 horses, and in ' the same period has exported only 72,00 0 , so that we have imported on an average about 16,000 havehors re c ently a year.

His debts and liabilities amounted to about 2,3001. while the assets available to his creditors, was 7601. His discharge was opposed in person, by a creditor named Gil man, who was a bill discounter, and had had frequent transactions with him previous Co the one upon which the grounds of opposi. tion rested. It appeared that the insolvent had been in the habit of dealing largely in accommodation bills, many of 'which were endorsed by captains of vessels for whom he did business, and the opposing creditor cashed those bills at a large discount ; and upon a further consideration that a quantity of wine should be taken in proportion to the amount of the bill. The insolvent accepted a bill of ex. change drawn by a person named Walton, who soon afterwards went out as the mate of an East India vessel, and had not returned to England since. A writ was Issued against the insolvent, upon which he was arrested at the suit of his bruther.in.law, and the oppos ing creditor contended that the arrest was a friendly one, and got up with the deign of defrauding the other creditor by enabling him to pass through this Court. The insolvent was subjected to a long examination by the Court, in which he stated that his insolvency arose from the severe losses he exper:enced by the wrtck of a brig on her way to Sydney, to which place he consigned a quantity of goods. He likewise said he had been subject to long illness, which incapacitated him from attending to his business. None cf his other creditors appeared in opposition, when the Court ordered him to be discharged forthwith, and appointed Mr. Wiliam Alexander Sampson to be assignee. ) (MICE INTE LLIG ENCE. BOW-STREET7-(TH iS DAY.) ONE OF TUB FAIR SEX.— A disgustingly coarse-looking woman named Johnson, about forty years of age, who bore in her coun tenance the evidence of a long cireer of debauchery and dissipa tion, was charged with being drunk and disorderly. Polce.constable, 31 F, stated that the prisoner was one of the unfortunate class of females who having been early led from the paths of virtue, bad plunged into the vortex of dissipaton and vice, and was now a prostitute of the lowest order Whilst going his rounds about four o'clock this morning, he heard a great dis turbance and sounds of riot proceeding from the neighbourhood of Ncwcastle.court, Strand, where on arriving he found the prisoner in a beastly state of intoxication, surrounded by a number of women of her own class, with whom she was fighting, and making use of the most filthy and obscene language. He requested her once or twice to go away home, instead of doing so, however, she assailed him with a volley of abuse, and there and then declared her firm determination to remain where she was, its spite of all the b----- policemen in London. As she would not move on, but persisted, as it were out of bravado, in continuing her disturbance, the con. stable felt that he had no course left but tq take her to the Station. house. The prisoner, who looked extremely miserable, and was no doubt suffering from the effects of last night's excesses, expressed her sorrow at what had taken place, and assured the Magistrate if he would '• only look over it this once, she would never come ttiere no more, indeed she would not." Unfortunately for our heroine, however, there was not a constable in the Court but was intimately acquaii.ted with Mrs. Johnso.i's pranks, and was well aware that if once dismissed, all her protestations of amendment would be for gotten, and that she would again commence her career of dissipa tion and crime. This having been intimated to the worthy Magis. trate, as well as another most material fact, which operated strong'y against her release—viz., that she was bri.ught to the police.office on the average at last twice a week on similar charges, he sentenced her to one month's imprisonment in the House of Correction ; at the same time reading her a well. timed admonition of the folly and wickedness of her conduct, • and warning her of the consequences which might result unless she thoroughly reformed her conduct. There were only four other cases of a trifling character on the morning charge sheet, which were not of the slightest interest (per. haps o c should add) except to the parties concerned. In each case the prisoners were discharged. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ('I'IIIS DAY.) DARING RODBERY THROUGH DIESTITUTION.....JaM C S Gill, w smart. intelligent, well-grown youth, between 15 and 16 years of age, de. cently dressed, was charged wiih stealing a bundle of cigars and some money, from the shop of Mr. Vining, Tobacconist, 398, Ox. ford.strect, this morning, and in answer to a question from the Magistrate, he said, " I took the money out of the till, and the cigars from the shop. I was starving at the time, and have nobody to whom I would apply for assistance. I did not care at the time I did it whether I was detected or not. Being sent to prison must be a change for the better to any person situated as I am. I bad been wandering about the docks for the two previous days, without a morsel to eat, trying to get taken on board ship, but I found there was no chanee for me, and I cared not what became of me." Mr. HARDWICK said that a stop must he put to a notion which, seemed too genera ly to be entertained, that a person eommitting a robbery was in somewisc excusable if he was in actual distress. Nothing could be more mischievous than such a doctrine. He should therefore commit the prisoner to take his trial at the Central Criminal Court, and bound over the witnesses to prosecute. W ORS LI 1 P-ST REET-(T HIS PAY.) AN UNNATURAL MOTHER.—Sergeant Ellis, of the d division, made a repot t to the Magistrate of the following case of neglect and cruelty on the part of a woman named Laws towards her three children : On the preceding night police constab'e Colee, G, Pti, was on duty in Tubac.'o-roll Court, Long-alley, when he was in formed by some of the inhabitants that three children were confined in an upper room of one of the houses, where they had been left by their mother, without food or clothing. They stated farther that the woman, who borr a very bad cha racter, was almost daily absenting herself from morning till night, and of leaving her children in the same wretched state. The con stable made his way up to the room, but finding that the door was locked, he procured a ladder and effected an entrance at the window. The place presented a most deplorable appearance, being entirely destitute of furniture, with the exceptioa of a dilapidated bedstead without mattress or any kind of covering, and the policeman found the three unfortunate children lying on the bare sacking in a complete state of nudity. They told him that their mother had given them some dry bread before she left home in the morning, but they had nothing since, and they were per'shing from cold and hunger. Whilst he was questioning them the woman rout ned home, and on his expostulating with her upon her cruel conduct, and asking her why she did not apply for parochial relief, she answered him sharply, that whatever might happen she was resolved that no child of hers should enter a parish workhouse. The policeman immediately repaired.to the station-house, and communicated the circumstance to Sergeant Ellis, who, by direction of the Superintendent, laid the facts of the case before the parish officers of Shorenitch. Mr. BINGHAM expressed his approbation of the conduct of the police, and said the parish officers woulo, no doubt, take immediate Sills to puni,li the unnatural mother. UNION-tiM.l. — (T . ii Is DA - yo George Boone, a young man holding a ccii tid entlal situation in the employ tit . m e „, Christy, the extensive hat manuf ac t urers i n Bermondsey .st reet, was charged with stealing a quant i ty o f b eaver, the property of his employers. Mr. Christy stated that the prisoner had been in the employ of the firm for the last three ycat 5, and such confidence was reposed in him that he v as latterly employed in the beaver room, where a quantity of that article, to the amount of 0 0,000/. was deposited. On the afternoon in question, the prisoner on leaving the premises was suspected of having property in his possession, and he was stopped, and when t 'kenlack into the premises he made a voluntary confession, to she effect that for the last five weeks he was in the habit of rat ng his employers of beaver, and disposing of it to a marine store-dealer in Kent-street.

ENGLISH AND SCOTTISH LAW, FIRE, AND LIFE INSURANCE, AND LOAN ASSOCIATION. The First Annual General Meeting of the Proprietors of the English and Scottish Law Fire, and Life insurance and Loan As sociation, was held at the Offices of the Association, en Wednes day, the 23d of February, 1842, James Frederick Fuller, Esq., i❑ the Chair, at which the Directors submitted the subjoined state ment of the business effected by the Association from the date of its commencement up to Christmas, 1841. SECURITY TO THE MISURF.D. The Directors expressed their satisfaction that, in the short period of eighteen months, the whole of the capital stock, amount. ing to one million sterling, was appropriated, and the deposits upon the 20 , 0 0 Shares, into which it is divided, was paid up. This fact, while it affords a convincing proof of the confidence with which the undertaking is regarded as a mode of investment, also supplies that security to which every insurer is entitled. PROGRESS OF THE ROSINESS. The Directors were enabled to lay before the meeting the fol. lowing gratifying statement : From the commencement of the Institution, up to Christmas, 1840, 350 Life Policies were issued, producing, in premiums In the second year, ending Christmas, 1841, 457 Life Policies were issued, producing, with re newals . 12,944 6 5 Making a total, in two years, of 607 Life Policies, and an aggregate of premiums of £18,804 0 4 From this sum only one claim, arising from death,, amounting to 1001., is to be deducted; and against this is to be placed 1,0921. 19s. 4d., resulting from lapsed policies. Independently of the above sums, 4,6921. 19s. 10d. has been paid to the Association for annuities. This summary of the transactions effected in the Life Depart ment exhibits a degree of success which the Directors believe has rarely, if ever, been equalled in the history of. Life Assurance Offices. After acknowledging the cordial co.operation of the Edinburgh Board, and bearing testimony to the services of their Actuary, Mr. Baylis, the Directors concluded their first Annual Report with an energetic appeal to the Proprietors present, to exert their influence in promoting the business of the Association, and establishing, upon an enduring basis, its character, usetblness, and prosperity. The Auditors' Report, comprising a balance-sheet of the trans actions of the Association, from its commencement to Christmas, 1841, and also the Directors' Report, having been read, were una nimously adopted. and ordered to be printed and circulated. A cordial vote of thanks to the Directors, Auditors, Edinburgh Secretaries, and other officers of the Association, having been agreed to, the meeting adjourned, after moving a vote of thanks to the Chairman, which was unimously carried. 147, Strand, 23d February, 184'2. . . . The new NumLer for March of Bentley's Miscellany is as usual profusely illustrated by Crowquill, Cruikshank, and Leech, while the literary department is also full of wit and humour, more even than we recollect in any one previous number. Among the numerous droll contributions we may mention " The Harmo nious Owls," by a well-known " Pilgrim in London, with an Illus. tration by Gs urge Ci uikskank ; " Miss Dogsnose," with an illus tration by Leech ; " The Philosophy of Physic," with numerous comic embellishments, by Alfred Crowquill ; " The Saddle," a Wiltshire story, also illustrated, by Paul Pindar ; " Old Green," Offiey's "Regular Customer," with a portrait by Leech; "Valentine's Day," " Tommy Daddy," and " The Barber of Northallerton." The number possesses interest, moreover, for readers of a more serious character, among others, "The Enthusiast at Shakspeare's Tomb," with the Great Bard sitting with his friend by his own fire. side, and a " last year's pippin of his own grafting," his swot d, and Atin Hathaway's bed, by way of Illustration ; " The Banquet Hall of Death;" " Aunt Sarah's Ghost ;" and " English Country Life," by Martingale, giving us one of the best pictures of a poacher's ►ife, we recollect to have met with. We must not close this notice, how ever, without alludiug to the interesting Romance of " Richard Savage," (illustrated by Leech), which proceeds in the same vigorous and spirited manner in which it commenced ; the scenes are pointed, indeed, with a truth and nature which will render this story worthy of a place among the best works which have appeared since the novels of Sir Walter Scott. The account of Savage's in troduction to Sir Richard Steel, and subsequent intimacy with the worthy knight, the interview of Savage with his daughter, Miss Wilfred, and the quarrel between Steel and Savage are equal in their way to anything we remember in modern fiction. Altogether from whatever cause, Bentley's Misoellany manifests increased spirit and resources, and will, if it were possible, become even more po pular than ever. ST. MARY'S, MOORFIELDS.

POST.—The follovt Mg notice was posted this morning at [be Bank : " The Governor anti Company of the Bank of England are ready, until further notice, to receive application for loans, upon the deposit of approved Bills of Exchange, not hating more than six months to run, Exchequer Bills and East. India Bonds. Such loans to be repaid on or before the 20th April next, with interest, at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, aDd to lie for sums of not less than 2,000/ each.—Feh. '24, 1542." As the Dresent notice exhibits a reduction of I per cent, in the interest. which the Bank has been receiving for a long time past, it did sot fail to give rise to the expression of various opinions a 3 to its propriety, for, although there are many who are disposed to applaud the liberality of the Directors, as cal culated to give an impetus to the mercantile operations of the country. there are others who seem to apprehend that the esta blishment is not sufficiently armed with specie to warrant so decided a change of policy for the present, and who are, conse quently, pretty strongly impressed with the idea that it must be pk eparatory to the funding of a further amount of Exchequer On the latter point we have no judgment to offer, but it is usual. at this period of the year, when the collection of the rev, nue must, in the natural process of the system, cause a scarcity of money accommodation, to look to the Bank for an increased issue of notes, and it is no secret, as we stated some time age, that a lower rate of interest was deemed by our lead ing anthoritics expedient, as perhaps the most effectual means that . could le adopted of stimulating commercial enterprise, which is desirable. The notice is not accompanied by any con dition with respect to Exchequer Bills, as was the case upon the last. occasion. 'TIMES.—The notice posted yesterday, it will be perceived, lowers the rate of intere,t to 4 per cent. instead of 5 per cent., the rate which previously existed, and has not been wholly un expected on the part of the monied interest, several of its leading members having been aware that such a measure was in contemplation, and having wed very strenuous efforts to prevent its adoption. Their ground of complaint is, that it intrcduces an unfair species of competition into the money market, when money was already sufficiently abundant for all useful purposes; and they are under apprehensions that, by increasing that abundar co without any specific call for it, a false appearance of prosperity may be brought on by the com mercial interest, leading eventually to speculation, and all those consequences which have held out so serious a warning on seve ral previous occasions. SUN.—The Funds rallied in consequence of the deter mination of the Directors of the Bank of England to reduce the rate of interest on advances made by them to their customers from 5 to 4 per cent. In point of fact, this has beciA the more cur. rent rate in the City for the last week or two, and in all pro bability the measure is but the prelude to a funding of Exchequer Bills. The improvement in prices was hto # per cent., Consols fur Money being 89h to 89 and for Time 894 to 89 N. Exchequer Bills were at a premium of 21 to 24, and India Bonds were at Bto 10 premium.

Ai nuities at S9l to 90h. lu the Foreign Market there was no material movement.

SUDDEN DEATII.—A mini, by the name of Ri chardson, who kept a beer-shop at the corner of Cross-street, Cowes, while picking winkles with his son, a lad about eleven years of age, on the shore near Gimlet, suddenly expired. lie left his home about all hour previous in excellent health, having made a hearty dinner.
